• 0:49
  Last we left off,
• 0:50
  secondhand souls cleaned up the tavern and tied up their
• 0:53
  prisoners.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_02: They swiftly moved from the tavern back to Sternhammer Forge,
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_02: following Uthral Stern back to his brother.
• 1:01
  They got some odd looks and deceived their way around a group
• 1:04
  of guards,
• 1:05
  with Lala's lead.
• 1:08
  Once back at the forge,
• 1:09
  they gathered themselves and acquired their new gear.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: The Stern brothers got into it a bit and the group caught their breath.
• 1:16
  Traka went back with Uthral to see the dojo and learn more
• 1:19
  about being a student.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: After some discussion and relaxation, there was a commotion outside.
• 1:26
  Yenor took a look and saw a large fire at the Sun Guide's
• 1:30
  Hearth Tavern where they just were.
• 1:33
  Upon further inspection with some magical means,
• 1:35
  the fire was found to be an illusion.
• 1:38
  Just after this,
• 1:39
  there were two loud thumps on the roof of Sternhammer Forge.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: Now, Secondhand Souls has to decide what it is they are going to do next.
• 2:00
  um leave leaving seems like a good plan but they're on the roof
• 2:09
  yeah and they
• 2:11
  distracted everybody away so that they wouldn't be seen for
• 2:14
  whatever they're about
• 2:15
  to do to us so if they're on the roof they're outside and if we
• 2:20
  leave we have to go
• 2:21
  outside as well and if we stay in here we are trapped like rats
• 2:28
  operation SOS save
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_03: our skin
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_03: Fair point There's a room in the back Does it have a door?
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_03: Are you prepared to die to keep us safe?
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_02: At least the window?
• 2:45
  We I mean My brother and I have talked ourselves out of
• 2:50
  stickier situations Ah So
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_03: hiding Is your brother here right now?
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_03: Not against hiding
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm right here.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_02: He's standing next to him.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's Uthral and Thallius.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: Uthral's the one talking.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: The smarter one.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: I thought he left to go to the thing, but okay.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: No, he came back.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_02: It's up to you guys.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_02: You guys can leave.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_02: You can stay.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: If someone wants to act as a customer while...
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_02: the rest of you hide back there with our prisoner.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_02: Or, you know, we can punch our way out of it.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_03: Well, you saps can't lie yourself out of a paper bag.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_03: I guess it's gotta be.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_02: Someone's gotta keep him quiet.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: And he points to... Can I start dragging him into the back room?
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_02: Rami?
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, Needle's gonna have to go with you.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_02: Her tail's in his mouth still.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: Let's drag this bitch.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: I thought... Oh, never mind.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: I can go outside and act like a drunk like I was thinking about before.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: See what's up there.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: See if they maybe scare him away.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: Or did they come after me?
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: If you go out there by yourself,
• 4:28
  and it's going to be a lot harder for us to get to you if
• 4:31
  something happens.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm just going to be outside, like in the street.
• 4:37
  So if something does come down,
• 4:38
  at least that'll be in the street and not in here,
• 4:42
  at least.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'll go with Krakka.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: Just an idea.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: So we got Deedle and Yanor hiding the prisoner and keeping them quiet.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: And then we got Joaquim and Krakka
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_02: pretending to be drunk out on the street,
• 5:01
  and Lala's going to deceive her way as a customer with the
• 5:04
  Stern brothers.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: Is this what's happening?
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: I mean,
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: if Yakeem is coming with me,
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: then,
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yakeem,
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: you can act like...
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: What if you act like you're security throwing me out,
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: because I'm drunk?
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yakeem doesn't look like security.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I was about to say.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but... No.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: But this is...
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: This isn't a bar.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: You're not going to look tough.
• 5:30
  You could just be like the apprentice or whatever and you're
• 5:34
  throwing me out
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: because I just run to the drunk.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: I walked in here and started, I don't know, being belligerent.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, oh, oh, sweetie, baby.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, that's not what Joaquin does.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: He's too dainty and delicate.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: It wouldn't be believable.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_01: No, I'm just going to be a foolhardy drunk as well.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_01: We can be drunk together because
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: No, I can't be a bouncer.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: I'm so sorry.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: And Joaquin shows you his hands.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, these hands are not for the manual labor.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:17
  Yanor and Deedle are going to have to roll stealth checks as
• 6:24
  you hide in the back
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_02: with your prisoner.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_02: Your prisoner's going to be rolling a check as well.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: But his goal isn't necessarily success.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_02: So that was stealth?
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: I have a 30-20.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: 30-20, okay.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_03: I'm waiting for my crap to load.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_02: while they're doing that.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to have Joachim and Krakka.
• 7:07
  Since you are going out to the street and pretending to be
• 7:10
  drunk,
• 7:12
  I'm going to give you.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_02: Persuasion, deception or performance.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_02: Deedle, your roll came through.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: That was a twenty nine.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: Okay,
• 7:33
  Krakka's got 25 Waiting for Wakim's roll to come through There
• 7:46
  it is Jesus Dirty
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_02: 20,
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_02: 29,
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: 25,
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: 27 Alright
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_02: Kraka and Joaquim,
• 8:03
  you both stumble out into the street and go ahead and do
• 8:07
  whatever it is you're
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_02: going to do as drunks.
• 8:13
  So Joaquim kind of stumbles about and he kind of puts his hands
• 8:19
  on Kraka's turtle
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_01: shell in order to stable himself and he'll just kind of start slurring.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, you need to do this thing, turtle man.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_01: Okay?
• 8:33
  Yeah,
• 8:34
  I don't understand what the problem was in there and why they
• 8:38
  wouldn't give us any meat.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think they have a problem with turtles.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think they like turtles.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_01: So, wait.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: You think they have a problem with me?
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: I'll go back in there and give them a problem.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, don't, don't, don't, don't do that.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: Because if you do that, then we can get in trouble.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: And, you know, y'all, they were talking about turtle soup.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't think you want to be made into soup.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: I've had turtle soup before.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_01: It wasn't very good.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: You've ate my kind.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, what?
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: I thought we were friends.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'm so sorry.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: I shouldn't have said that.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: It was a very long time ago.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: I have not had it since it was terrible.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: But soup sounds good.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: Soup does sound.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: Is there any soup around here?
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: And as I look around,
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: as I say that,
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: can I look around to see if anybody is looking at us or what not?
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_02: Jorg,
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: make a perception check 24 Now,
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_02: Deedle and Yanor You don't know what's going on You guys are in like
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_02: out of the loop completely of what is happening.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_02: You're just in here with this dude, Deedle's tails in his mouth.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_02: Lala,
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_02: since you are right in the lobby there with the two brothers,
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_02: you can hear them outside and you hear the part about the turtle soup and
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: everything.
• 10:42
  And,
• 10:42
  Wakim,
• 10:43
  as you and Kraka are acting this out,
• 10:46
  you notice the fire at the end of the street.
• 10:49
  You actually see it in full view this time,
• 10:53
  and it looks very much like an illusion.
• 10:58
  Looks like some of the authorities have figured out that it is
• 11:03
  a very large illusion.
• 11:05
  You see water magic and water buckets being thrown at it and
• 11:09
  it's like not going
• 11:10
  out at all and there are people like starting to figure out
• 11:15
  this diversion.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: Can I see if there is anybody who is casting this illusion?
• 11:24
  uh with a perception check of 24 you start you don't see anyone
• 11:27
  on the street uh
• 11:29
  because I'm giving you the street view right now which is what
• 11:31
  you would see first
• 11:33
  and as you start looking around and like looking up above you
• 11:36
  and whatnot a couple
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_02: buildings down from the tavern
• 11:42
  you see a group of people like two or three people maybe maybe
• 11:49
  a handful more you
• 11:50
  can't quite tell from this distance but you know it's it's at
• 11:54
  least two or three
• 11:55
  people they're staring very in their body language is having
• 12:05
  them facing the tavern
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_02: and the fire and they're not really moving
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_02: So you surmise that they're focusing on it?
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: Can I clock their location and then move out of their field of view?
• 12:21
  At which point I would then explain to Krakka what I just saw
• 12:25
  and then perhaps we
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: can maneuver over there?
• 12:30
  Do you want to do that now or do you want to continue scanning
• 12:33
  the rest of the rooftops?
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: If I have the opportunity to scan, yeah.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yes,
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_02: so that's what you see in the distance,
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_02: but in the immediate vicinity,
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_02: you see,
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: like in the buildings across from you,
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: there look to be a few people cloaked in the darkness,
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_02: kind of up on the rooftop.
• 13:02
  and then a few more people cloaked in darkness up on another
• 13:04
  rooftop and as you and
• 13:07
  him walk out towards like the center thoroughfare looking up on
• 13:12
  your on the rooftop
• 13:14
  of this you just see two glowing eyes out of this helmet and
• 13:25
  like this massive
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: silhouette ooh
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: Okay,
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: I guess I would,
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: hearing all that,
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: I would then,
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_01: I guess,
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: where did Deedle and Eonora go?
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: Uh,
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: they're not near anything,
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_02: they're,
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_02: they're inside,
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: in the back of the,
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_02: uh,
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: Sternhammer Forge.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: The one that's on fire?
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: No, the building you just came out of, they're hiding in the back of it.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, um,
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_01: Would I be able to kind of maybe stumble towards there?
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: With, like, I kind of motioned for Crocker to come along with me.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: Which way?
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_01: Towards where the ladies went.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: You'd be going back inside?
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: The building you just said you got thrown out of?
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: So I guess I would, you know...
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: in my drunk state, I would say something like, you know what?
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to go give them a piece of my mind because damn it,
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: I spent a good amount of money in there and I didn't get enough to drink.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_01: And then I would drag Crocker in with me.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I want some of that turtle soup.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: And then I guess once we were inside,
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: out of the view of those people that I saw,
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_01: I would explain to Gaka everything that I saw.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_02: As you're moving back towards,
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_02: because to see the roof of this building,
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_02: you had to go into the center of the thoroughfare.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_02: So as you're moving back towards the entrance of this building...
• 15:37
  you see like a second very large armored figure kind of
• 15:47
  apparate out of thin air on
• 15:49
  the roof and you recognize it as some kind of stealth
• 15:57
  technology and it kind of
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_02: just takes two very large leaps down in front of you
• 16:12
  Massive form just kinda looks down at you Cause this thing's
• 16:16
  like 9-10 feet tall In
• 16:19

• 30:49
  SPEAKER_02: They have two people out there.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I did say that that would be a bad idea.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_02: There's two people out there.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_02: They could kill one of them and still have one for hostage negotiations.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_02: Unless your friends out there are smart enough to get out of it.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_02: Well, well.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_00: Are we basing that off their intelligence or their wisdom?
• 31:23

  SPEAKER_02: his mouth.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_03: Negotiation.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_03: Has there been any indication who exactly these people are?
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_03: Are they the law out here just threatening to
• 32:19
  hold people hostage the law doesn't operate like these people I
• 32:29
  didn't think so so
• 32:33
  where is the law are they all at the fire is that what I am to
• 32:37
  believe the fake
• 32:39
  fire you can make a safe assumption that most resources in this
• 32:43
  area of the city
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_02: have been diverted to the fire
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, Inora, you have no direct way to contact General Alex.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_00: We have an indirect way.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_02: You do.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_02: If it's still standing.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's fair.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_02: You took away their primary magic support.
• 33:17
  My wife was not the only one useful there They have the unicorn
• 33:25
  She's not more
• 33:25
  powerful than a unicorn He's a level 20 Does he know how to
• 33:31
  make barriers?
• 33:33
  SPEAKER_00: If he hasn't figured it out by now,
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_02: that's his fault They don't necessarily need to be more powerful to win
• 33:48
  they just need to take civilian hostages you mean like they
• 33:53
  have bad guys never
• 33:57
  play fair they've taken the turtle also technically you guys
• 34:02
  aren't civilians I
• 34:07

• 34:13
  them back in here
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_00: but keep the big man

  SPEAKER_03: Why exactly do we need to keep this?
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_03: Two gestures at the guy.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_00: Present for the general.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_03: Why do we need to schmooze the general?
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_03: He seems like a jerk.
• 34:31
  If I give you something shiny that you really want,
• 34:35
  do you not tend to like me better?
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_03: He's not shiny at all.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_00: He's very wanted, though.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_00: I just know that you like shiny things.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_03: So I do shiny.
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_03: Very wanted by them as well.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't care about them though.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_03: Hmm.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_03: I'll keep both things.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_02: So far,
• 35:15
  Wakim and Krakar are still doing a pretty good job at stalling
• 35:18
  because they're
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_02: still acting drunk.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_00: We haven't fought one of these things in like four levels.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_00: We could try again.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_02: You guys inside heard two thumps on the rooftop.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't that just be steps?
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_00: Like thunk thunk thunk thunk steps?
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_02: You can think that.
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_00: I thought it was steps.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_02: You're more than welcome to think that.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_03: Do they also sound like normal steps or like horrific?
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_02: They were not normal steps.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_03: Cool.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_03: Very cool.
• 36:07
  So we're just completely surrounded by things that we cannot
• 36:12
  possibly battle.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_03: who I can't imagine actually cares about anything.
• 36:20
  So I'm guessing we just have to try and convince them we're
• 36:23
  innocent people who are
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_03: just trying to get along our way.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_00: What if we tell them we pickpocketed him?
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_00: And that's why you had the Sunday stuff.
• 36:50
  you're a thief it could be believable right I mean maybe let's
• 36:59
  wing it and Lala
• 37:01
  takes off she's okay so Lala what are you doing she is running
• 37:13
  up to both of them

  SPEAKER_03: If they plan to follow,
• 37:21
  they can follow She is running up And essentially Like She's
• 37:31
  kinda going with that
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_03: plan Okay You don't have Descending Stone though I know Which is fine
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'll go with her, but I'll tell Dee to keep Rami in there.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_02: Are you... You have Descending Stone in your backpack.
• 37:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 38:00
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 38:02
  She's essentially going to go with that plan and throw herself
• 38:06
  at the feet and
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: start cry-sobbing.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_03: Pretend cry-sobbing, because she's not going to actually cry.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_03: But, you know.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_03: And be like,
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_03: these are my parents I have to take care of myself all the time I think I
• 38:22
  pickpocketed the guy that you're looking for I'm so sorry I

• 38:35
  SPEAKER_02: parents go roll a deception check uh

  SPEAKER_03: Sorry, I was not prepared to get a d6 out.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_03: Ooh, six.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_03: Plus six.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_02: Initially,
• 39:18
  this gentleman or lady in the armored suit looks skeptical as
• 39:24
  he half draws his
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_02: weapon because he hears the door fly open.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_02: And then he slowly just sees it and looks down at you.
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_02: What's up?
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_02: Is she yours?
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_02: Pointing to you and you, Wakim, and you, Krakka.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_02: He hasn't even noticed you, Yenor.
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, and you are?
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_01: See, I told you this is a bar.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm so sorry, what just happened?
• 40:15
  Yenor threw herself at the guy's feet and claimed that you two
• 40:20
  are her parents,
• 40:21
  SPEAKER_03: you're a couple of dumb drunkards.
• 40:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yes,
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_03: Lala threw herself at the guy's feet,
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_03: claimed that you and Kronka are her parents,
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_03: you're a couple of dumb drunks,
• 40:30
  and she pickpocketed the guy who found his magical sending
• 40:34
  stone and was trying to
• 40:36
  sell it so that she could buy herself some dinner and pay off
• 40:40
  your drunkard debt at
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_03: the bar.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_03: and that she's super sorry.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_01: Well, is she yours?
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_01: Joaquin just kind of gives a big thumbs up.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_02: You are terrible parents.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_03: Lala sniffles.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_03: That's what he says when I ask who my mom is too.
• 41:15
  your terrible parents Joaquin looks at her and then looks at
• 41:18
  the armor and he just
• 41:19
  nods in the affirmative you should be ashamed of yourselves you
• 41:26
  are absolutely
• 41:27
  right and then I look at Lala come child off the ground can the
• 41:34
  armor just kind of
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_02: steps takes a half step and looks down at you Lala again it's like
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_02: Do you have the stone with you still?
• 41:47
  When when it when it tingled I panicked and I didn't know what
• 41:50
  to do so I threw it
• 41:52
  in the water and she points and but if it helps I heard that
• 41:59
  man he was talking to
• 42:00
  some other man when I took it he said something about the
• 42:05
  Chaldesian council and
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_03: and going for the docks tonight
• 42:16
  Maybe you can find him there He puts his hand back on his
• 42:26
  weapon Now Adoption
• 42:33
  exists I could see how you two could be her parents She looks
• 42:36
  like a child That's
• 42:37
  believable However If it was in that water I would still be
• 42:43
  able to track it
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not a very good thrower.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe I didn't make it.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_03: I wasn't looking.
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_02: It doesn't matter where it is.
• 42:54

  tracking stuff and
• 43:09

  SPEAKER_01: So I'm going to
• 43:15

• 51:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm proud of this one.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_00: This is my idea.
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_02: Lala, as you continue your sentence, there's no sound coming out.
• 51:41
  SPEAKER_03: If you could hear her, she'd be saying, this is bullshit.
• 51:46
  SPEAKER_02: Anyone else want to chime in?
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_02: Get your friend on the other side there, too.
• 51:53
  SPEAKER_00: Are you going to carry the big man?
• 51:55
  SPEAKER_00: He's very large, and she's the only one who can.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_02: These two are for.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_00: Are they also in the power armor?
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 52:04
  SPEAKER_03: Can I stab him with a psychic blade?
• 52:14
  SPEAKER_02: Is psychic blade magic?
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think it technically is, actually.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_03: It's like a weird third thing, but I don't know.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_03: That's up to you.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 52:32
  SPEAKER_03: Again,
• 52:32
  SPEAKER_03: I've always interpreted it as this weird third thing that's like just...
• 52:36
  SPEAKER_02: Oh,
• 52:36
  SPEAKER_02: it's a it's a trait.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 52:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's telepathy.
• 52:45
  Are psionics considered magic or are psionics considered...
• 52:49
  A weird third thing?
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, shit.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_03: I didn't mean to start a fucking philosophical debate.
• 53:02
  would Superman get defeated by psionics I'm not trying to
• 53:07
  defeat him I'm just
• 53:08
  trying to annoy him Superman's weakness is magic so would
• 53:14
  Superman get defeated by
• 53:15
  SPEAKER_02: psionic powers I don't think maybe isn't that just basically sound right
• 53:25
  SPEAKER_02: It's psychic, so it's anything with a mind.
• 53:27
  SPEAKER_03: It's psychic.
• 53:28
  Again,
• 53:29
  I don't consider psychic powers the same thing as magic,
• 53:32
  but that's me.
• 53:33
  SPEAKER_03: That's a me thing.
• 53:34
  SPEAKER_02: Scarlet Witch uses mind powers, and she is also magic.
• 53:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, but she's also magic.
• 53:43
  SPEAKER_03: What about, like, Stephen King's Carrie?
• 53:46
  SPEAKER_03: Because she is purely 100% psychic magic.
• 53:50
  SPEAKER_03: Or psychic powers, but I don't know if I'd call it magic.
• 53:55
  SPEAKER_00: Notice, honey, you said Wanda is also magic.
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_00: So you yourself just classified them as two separate things.
• 54:04
  SPEAKER_00: Unconsciously.
• 54:06
  Yeah,
• 54:07
  but the only reason Wanda beat Thanos is because Thanos is weak
• 54:10
  against magic.
• 54:13
  SPEAKER_02: And her magic is psychic.
• 54:17
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe there's psychic magic and non-psychic magic.
• 54:22
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 54:23
  SPEAKER_03: Is telepathy magic?
• 54:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 54:25
  That's all very complicated Just like talking in your head
• 54:31
  psionically is also a
• 54:33
  spell All psychic magic is spells There you go I'm gonna say in
• 54:39
  this case psionic
• 54:40
  powers are magic We're gonna leave it up to the comments after
• 54:43
  this is live and see
• 54:45
  SPEAKER_03: what everyone else says Am I secretly magic and I don't even like it?
• 54:50
  SPEAKER_03: It's up to you
• 54:53
  You go to try to throw a psychic blade and it's just like a
• 54:57
  fart comes out Wow

• 1:02:38
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know how you separated him from his guards in there.
• 1:02:41
  SPEAKER_02: We arrested them, by the way.
• 1:02:43
  SPEAKER_00: We knocked them out for you.
• 1:02:45
  SPEAKER_00: You should be so proud of us.
• 1:02:48
  SPEAKER_02: They were waking up when we got there.
• 1:02:51
  SPEAKER_00: Perfect timing, then.
• 1:02:53
  SPEAKER_02: the fire's lotus down.
• 1:02:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's fake fire.
• 1:02:56
  SPEAKER_00: You should know better.
• 1:03:00
  SPEAKER_02: Took our magic users a while to get here.
• 1:03:05
  SPEAKER_00: You got that... does he... he has a helmet on?
• 1:03:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:03:10
  SPEAKER_00: You gotta get that detect stuff in there so you can see past it.
• 1:03:15
  SPEAKER_00: Past the illusions.
• 1:03:18
  SPEAKER_00: They make that, you know.
• 1:03:19
  SPEAKER_02: I'm aware.
• 1:03:21
  SPEAKER_00: I heard it might be expensive, but you would have saved a lot of time.
• 1:03:33
  SPEAKER_02: Some diplomatic issues.
• 1:03:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know someone who can do that for you.
• 1:03:39
  SPEAKER_00: He's a little suck right now.
• 1:03:40
  SPEAKER_00: He's been kidnapped, which is why we need to talk to the general.
• 1:03:46
  SPEAKER_00: But in the meantime, I caught one of your most wanted criminals.
• 1:03:53
  SPEAKER_02: You caught the son of one of our most wanted criminals.
• 1:03:55
  SPEAKER_00: He is also one of the most wanted criminals.
• 1:03:58
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, an excellent bargaining chip.
• 1:04:01
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 1:04:04
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure how much you guys know about his father.
• 1:04:12
  SPEAKER_03: Does he notoriously dislike his own children?
• 1:04:16
  SPEAKER_02: He will notoriously sacrifice anybody.
• 1:04:23
  SPEAKER_02: to achieve what his ultimate goal is, which no one knows what that is.
• 1:04:27
  SPEAKER_02: But so far, any bargaining chip we've ever had has been left to the wall.
• 1:04:33
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 1:04:35
  SPEAKER_03: That's too bad.
• 1:04:36
  SPEAKER_00: We have his boy now, though.
• 1:04:41
  And he was...
• 1:04:42
  By the way,
• 1:04:43
  you know,
• 1:04:44
  just cop to cop,
• 1:04:45
  just some information.
• 1:04:46
  SPEAKER_00: There is some kind of deal going on at the docks.
• 1:04:51
  SPEAKER_02: We are aware.
• 1:04:52
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:04:52
  SPEAKER_00: Good job.
• 1:04:54
  SPEAKER_02: We have undercover informants.
• 1:04:57
  SPEAKER_00: Then how did you not know we had Rami?
• 1:05:00
  I also sent kind of like really big scary dudes down there,
• 1:05:03
  so maybe keep an eye out for that.
• 1:05:16
  SPEAKER_02: We're letting the Docs deal go through.
• 1:05:20
  SPEAKER_00: You're letting them sell the Sniffle Shade?
• 1:05:22
  SPEAKER_02: It's tracked with markers.
• 1:05:26
  SPEAKER_00: You know that kills people, right?
• 1:05:29
  SPEAKER_02: It's unprocessed in the full shade that they're selling.
• 1:05:32
  You know that it's gonna get processed and then they're gonna
• 1:05:34
  use it to kill people,
• 1:05:35
  right?
• 1:05:36
  SPEAKER_02: Well, before it gets to the processing facility.
• 1:05:39
  SPEAKER_03: Is it as well marked as like a... like a sending stone?
• 1:05:45
  Where they could just put it in a fancy bag and you can't track
• 1:05:47
  it anymore?
• 1:05:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:05:55
  SPEAKER_02: We have some very expert level magic users that have helped us develop
• 1:06:05
  SPEAKER_02: multidimensional tracking.
• 1:06:09
  SPEAKER_00: I need you to know, cop to cop, I'm judging you right now.
• 1:06:14
  SPEAKER_00: People are going to get hurt because you didn't put us up to it.
• 1:06:19
  SPEAKER_02: We put a stop to this shipment.
• 1:06:21
  SPEAKER_02: Another shipment just comes in from somewhere else.
• 1:06:23
  SPEAKER_02: We put a stop to their drug processing facilities.
• 1:06:27
  SPEAKER_00: There's always more.
• 1:06:30
  SPEAKER_02: We put the squeeze on him a lot in this region.
• 1:06:33
  SPEAKER_00: Evidently not.
• 1:06:34
  SPEAKER_00: He's here.
• 1:06:35
  SPEAKER_00: Doing stuff.
• 1:06:37
  SPEAKER_02: Trying to.
• 1:06:38
  SPEAKER_00: They're succeeding.
• 1:06:39
  SPEAKER_00: You're letting it leave.
• 1:06:43
  SPEAKER_02: We've stopped the past few shipments.
• 1:06:44
  SPEAKER_02: Didn't get nowhere.
• 1:06:46
  SPEAKER_00: This one is.
• 1:06:47
  SPEAKER_00: You said so.
• 1:06:48
  SPEAKER_00: It's leaving.
• 1:06:49
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna go to a processing facility.
• 1:06:52
  SPEAKER_02: And we're gonna raid that processing facility once it gets there.
• 1:06:56
  SPEAKER_00: And what about all the other processing facilities?
• 1:06:59
  SPEAKER_02: I'm assuming this shipment's going to multiple different ones.
• 1:07:02
  They don't ever send the shipment just to one in case it gets
• 1:07:04
  intercepted.
• 1:07:09
  SPEAKER_00: Still judging you.
• 1:07:10
  SPEAKER_02: We're working with the Arctic Templar.
• 1:07:13
  SPEAKER_02: They have agents on it.
• 1:07:19
  SPEAKER_00: She does the shame finger at them.
• 1:07:26
  SPEAKER_02: Look, just... We'll take Rami back to... N-n-n-n-n-n!
• 1:07:35
  SPEAKER_00: My prisoner.
• 1:07:38
  SPEAKER_02: You have not been officially deputized by the city of Keldis.
• 1:07:42
  SPEAKER_02: You are technically holding someone hostage.
• 1:07:47
  SPEAKER_03: He wants to be...
• 1:07:49
  SPEAKER_03: What?
• 1:07:50
  SPEAKER_03: But he wants to be here.
• 1:07:51
  SPEAKER_03: He definitely wants to hang out.
• 1:07:55
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, look.
• 1:07:55
  SPEAKER_00: He's having so much fun with her tail.
• 1:08:01
  SPEAKER_03: It's true.
• 1:08:02
  SPEAKER_03: He paid her for this.
• 1:08:03
  SPEAKER_00: Up front.
• 1:08:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm also an official detective.
• 1:08:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I've been hunting this man for a very long time.
• 1:08:12
  SPEAKER_00: I will hand deliver him.
• 1:08:14
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you very much.
• 1:08:16
  SPEAKER_02: Does he or does he not have a bounty on his head?
• 1:08:20
  That would classify you as a bounty hunter Bounty hunting is
• 1:08:26
  illegal in the city of
• 1:08:27
  SPEAKER_02: Keldis We're not going after the bounty I was just hunting No,
• 1:08:34
  I'm an official detective And I'm delivering him to the person
• 1:08:38
  in charge here Who
• 1:08:41
  SPEAKER_00: is General Malachi He's not the person in charge Then who is?
• 1:08:46
  SPEAKER_02: All ten counselors
• 1:08:47
  SPEAKER_00: I will deliver him to the council, then.
• 1:08:50
  SPEAKER_00: And the council can decide what to do.
• 1:08:55
  SPEAKER_00: Can you please take me to where they are?
• 1:09:00
  SPEAKER_02: Sleeping.
• 1:09:02
  SPEAKER_00: Then take me to General Malachi,
• 1:09:03
  SPEAKER_00: because General Malachi will know what to do with him in the meantime.
• 1:09:07
  He'll just tell me to take him...
• 1:09:12
  Well,
• 1:09:12
  I much rather hear it from his mouth.
• 1:09:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:09:15
  SPEAKER_00: General Malachi can tell us that.
• 1:09:21
  SPEAKER_02: Does anyone want to wake the general at this hour?
• 1:09:23
  SPEAKER_00: I do.
• 1:09:25
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's well worth worthy.
• 1:09:28
  SPEAKER_00: I think he'll be happy.
• 1:09:29
  SPEAKER_00: He'll be pleased.
• 1:09:32
  SPEAKER_00: Someone might get a promotion.
• 1:09:34
  SPEAKER_00: You never know.
• 1:09:35
  SPEAKER_00: You want to be promoted?
• 1:09:37
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
• 1:09:37
  SPEAKER_02: That's just more paperwork.
• 1:09:42
  SPEAKER_02: That can get done in the morning time.
• 1:09:44
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe they'll get you a better helmet.
• 1:09:46
  SPEAKER_00: You can see it through illusions.
• 1:10:02
  seeing as we're at an impasse and I cannot let you leave with
• 1:10:08
  the hostage I'm not
• 1:10:10
  asking to I'm asking you to escort us we have no other option
• 1:10:17
  but to go wake up one
• 1:10:19
  of the counselors fair enough a counselor of your choice well
• 1:10:28
  we're not waking up
• 1:10:29
  SPEAKER_02: General Malachi he likes to sleep
• 1:10:33
  SPEAKER_03: Don't we all?
• 1:10:34
  SPEAKER_01: These are the authorities, the official authorities?
• 1:10:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, they're soldiers.
• 1:10:45
  SPEAKER_01: Joaquin would kind of step up for a moment.
• 1:10:48
  SPEAKER_01: I'm wondering if we can kind of just smooth all this out.
• 1:10:53
  SPEAKER_01: This is clearly a misunderstanding,
• 1:10:54
  SPEAKER_01: but the deputy,
• 1:10:57
  SPEAKER_01: and he looks at Yenor,
• 1:11:00
  SPEAKER_01: is clearly just trying to do
• 1:11:02
  SPEAKER_01: the right thing in bringing a criminal to justice.
• 1:11:07
  SPEAKER_01: And who better to bring him to than General Malachi?
• 1:11:12
  SPEAKER_01: Now, I don't know if you're familiar, but my name is Joachim Su.
• 1:11:17
  SPEAKER_01: I do operate for Su Sailing.
• 1:11:20
  Perhaps we can work some arrangement where you guys get a
• 1:11:26
  little free room and
• 1:11:27
  SPEAKER_01: board on one of our vessels.
• 1:11:30
  and just leave us to take care of this with General Malachi in
• 1:11:33
  the morning.
• 1:11:35
  SPEAKER_01: No need to bother anybody else.
• 1:11:38
  SPEAKER_02: Are you trying to bribe an official?
• 1:11:42
  SPEAKER_01: They're not officials.
• 1:11:43
  SPEAKER_01: They're just soldiers.
• 1:11:45
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's like trying to bribe a police officer.
• 1:11:52
  SPEAKER_01: That's like trying to bribe Yenor.
• 1:11:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how official these guys look.
• 1:11:59
  SPEAKER_02: They have the Keldesian emblem on them Look,
• 1:12:08
  your intentions are well-meaned I appreciate the offer There is
• 1:12:14
  somebody who is
• 1:12:15
  SPEAKER_02: actually would be awake at this hour He doesn't much like sleep
• 1:12:24
  Very good friend of General Malachi Counselor Norn will bring
• 1:12:29
  you too Above table
• 1:12:35
  for all of you that may not remember that is Elish's last name

• 1:12:46
  able to give us guidance and if he deems it appropriate to
• 1:12:51
  leave him under your
• 1:12:51
  SPEAKER_02: care until the morning then that's what we will do
• 1:13:02
  I suppose that that could work he's the official on duty trying
• 1:13:08
  to investigate
• 1:13:08
  what's happening up at the tavern so he's already over here are
• 1:13:21

  one with a bunch of people looking for Rami and one with a
• 1:15:18
  bunch of city guards
• 1:15:19
  SPEAKER_02: coming to see what ruckus was being created.
• 1:15:25
  After some discussion,
• 1:15:26
  they gathered together and convinced the guards that they need
• 1:15:31
  to
• 1:15:33
  Deliver Rami in person to someone who is in charge The guards
• 1:15:37
  agreed and while they
• 1:15:38
  do not want to wake up General Malachi they are going to take
• 1:15:41
  them to a counselor
• 1:15:42
  who is awake That's where we're picking up They're leading you
• 1:15:48
  guys back towards
• 1:15:50
  SPEAKER_02: the tavern where you were Rami in tow And you see this
• 1:16:04
  SPEAKER_02: Kind of short humanoid with fox ears and nine tails.
• 1:16:14
  SPEAKER_02: Facing away from you, kind of talking to a bunch of different people.

  Humanoid,

  SPEAKER_01: And I thought I was a strange looking one.
• 1:16:45

  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so what is it?
• 1:16:51

  himself that I mean
• 1:18:33
  he's a ranking lieutenant in the Spectre Syndicate they're not
• 1:18:40

  SPEAKER_02: There's not even a dot somewhere?
• 1:21:58
  SPEAKER_02: That's weird.
• 1:21:58
  SPEAKER_03: There's literally dots but they're to the sides.
• 1:22:02
  So one has a dot that's like to the left and one that has one
• 1:22:07
  to the right but I
• 1:22:08
  SPEAKER_03: don't know what that means.
• 1:22:10
  SPEAKER_03: Do you know what I mean?
• 1:22:14
  SPEAKER_03: These are very cheap.
• 1:22:15
  SPEAKER_02: That is odd.
• 1:22:15
  SPEAKER_02: Not like the top and bottom.
• 1:22:18
  SPEAKER_03: No, I sent you a picture.
• 1:22:20
  SPEAKER_03: It's crazy.
• 1:22:21
  SPEAKER_02: One of my cheaper dice has dots but it's at the hump
• 1:22:28
  how about this I will decide from now on that the one with the
• 1:22:32
  dot at the belly of
• 1:22:33
  it is the six and the one on the back is the nine and I will
• 1:22:36
  roll it again okay
• 1:22:38
  SPEAKER_03: that's fine go ahead oh and look at that it came up as the nine nine plus
• 1:22:47
  SPEAKER_03: investigation is six so fifteen to investigate a coin
• 1:22:57
  SPEAKER_02: Looks like it has two sides.
• 1:22:59
  SPEAKER_02: Looks like they're both different.
• 1:23:01
  SPEAKER_03: Does it feel weighted?
• 1:23:06
  SPEAKER_02: Not that you can tell and you'd know what a weighted coin feels like.
• 1:23:09
  SPEAKER_03: I would.
• 1:23:10
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.
• 1:23:12
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to do my damnedest to flip this and have it land in our favor.
• 1:23:18
  SPEAKER_02: Which one's your favor?
• 1:23:21
  SPEAKER_03: I forget.
• 1:23:22
  SPEAKER_02: Ynor, which one's our favorite?
• 1:23:26
  SPEAKER_02: Heads is you take Rami home with you and meet the council in the morning.
• 1:23:34
  SPEAKER_02: Hales is you Elish calls an emergency council meeting right now.
• 1:23:42
  SPEAKER_03: I think that's what we want.
• 1:23:45
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, that's the one that Ynor was leaning towards.
• 1:23:52
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, so tails then.
• 1:23:58
  SPEAKER_02: So roll a D100.
• 1:24:01
  SPEAKER_02: Or 2D10.
• 1:24:05
  SPEAKER_02: An 8 and a 5.
• 1:24:24
  SPEAKER_03: If you roll 2d10 how do you know which one goes first?
• 1:24:29
  SPEAKER_02: In this case it doesn't matter because it was above 50 below 50.
• 1:24:34
  SPEAKER_03: I'm very bad at dice rolling apparently.
• 1:24:40
  So as you flip the coin in the air you notice a slight shimmer
• 1:24:47
  on it as it's
• 1:24:48
  SPEAKER_02: flipping and you catch it and look at it
• 1:25:02
  magic nonsense isn't it ah looks like you're gonna be taking
• 1:25:11
  him back with you
• 1:25:12
  tonight I can't I can't prove it you rigged it somehow rigged
• 1:25:23
  what magic nonsense
• 1:25:26
  SPEAKER_00: exactly
• 1:25:28
  SPEAKER_02: She flipped it.
• 1:25:30
  SPEAKER_02: She investigated both sides of it.
• 1:25:33
  SPEAKER_02: Had heads and tails.
• 1:25:35
  SPEAKER_00: Can I hand her a coin and have her flip it real quick?
• 1:25:38
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 1:25:43
  SPEAKER_02: Lala, Yenor hand you a coin to flip.
• 1:25:48
  SPEAKER_03: You will do so.
• 1:25:50
  SPEAKER_02: Roll, uh, 2d10.
• 1:25:52
  SPEAKER_02: Choose one die to be the tens, please.
• 1:25:54
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:25:56
  SPEAKER_03: We'll just do that one first That's a 7 and a 1 71?
• 1:26:05
  Yes Land on heads I don't know what I was aiming for that time
• 1:26:16
  You're doing
• 1:26:16
  SPEAKER_00: something I don't That was your own coin Which makes me think it's you
• 1:26:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'll take him home, but I'm not going to be happy about it.
• 1:26:31
  SPEAKER_02: You have extra guards at your house.
• 1:26:34
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like bringing men to my home.
• 1:26:37
  SPEAKER_02: Leave them in the bush outside.
• 1:26:39
  SPEAKER_00: No, because then somebody could take him.
• 1:26:41
  SPEAKER_00: He's mine.
• 1:26:42
  SPEAKER_01: I mean,
• 1:26:47
  SPEAKER_01: regardless,
• 1:26:48
  SPEAKER_01: there was more people than just the council looking for them,
• 1:26:52
  SPEAKER_01: so we should probably get off the streets regardless.
• 1:26:54
  SPEAKER_02: I'll give you an anti-magic box.
• 1:26:57
  SPEAKER_02: Put them in there.
• 1:27:00
  SPEAKER_00: Is there air holes?
• 1:27:02
  SPEAKER_02: Does there need to be?

  SPEAKER_02: I can also do this.
• 1:29:07
  SPEAKER_00: What is that?
• 1:29:11
  SPEAKER_02: He transformed into a fox with nine tails.
• 1:29:14
  SPEAKER_00: Is he tiny?
• 1:29:15
  SPEAKER_02: He's... Whoa!
• 1:29:18
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's the size of a dire wolf with nine tails.
• 1:29:21
  SPEAKER_00: So not like actual fox size.
• 1:29:23
  SPEAKER_02: No, like a kitsune.
• 1:29:25
  SPEAKER_02: Like a kitsune.
• 1:29:28
  SPEAKER_00: You'd look a lot better if you were tiny.

• 1:30:14
  SPEAKER_00: He might be.
• 1:30:17
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't tell him I wanted to pet him, though, so we should be fine.
• 1:30:21
  SPEAKER_03: Foxes are weird.
• 1:30:23
  SPEAKER_00: Can I steal some handcuffs for the night?
• 1:30:26
  SPEAKER_00: You can have him back when you get him in the building.
• 1:30:33
  SPEAKER_00: I should say, because...
• 1:30:35
  SPEAKER_00: You guys are city officials.
• 1:30:37
  SPEAKER_00: May I borrow the magic handcuffs?
• 1:30:41
  SPEAKER_00: I shouldn't tell them I'm going to steal.
• 1:30:43
  SPEAKER_00: Don't get mad at me.
• 1:30:45
  SPEAKER_02: Can't be mine.
• 1:30:46
  SPEAKER_02: Mine are attached to my armor.
• 1:30:49
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure one of you has some somewhere.
• 1:30:50
  SPEAKER_02: One of the guards takes out some shackles and throws them near you.
• 1:30:55
  SPEAKER_00: I try to catch them.
• 1:30:56
  SPEAKER_02: You catch them.
• 1:30:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:30:58
  SPEAKER_02: He's not that far away.
• 1:30:59
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:31:02
  SPEAKER_00: I just click-click around me.
• 1:31:06
  SPEAKER_00: I'm assuming they fit?
• 1:31:07
  SPEAKER_02: It's a little tight.
• 1:31:10
  SPEAKER_00: Who cares about his comfort as long as they fit?
• 1:31:16
  SPEAKER_00: And these are the not magic ones.
• 1:31:18
  SPEAKER_00: The no magic?
• 1:31:21
  SPEAKER_02: They're... something.

• 1:31:52
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 1:31:53
  SPEAKER_02: He can't breathe.
• 1:31:55
  SPEAKER_00: You'll pop them off.
• 1:31:57
  SPEAKER_03: What

  SPEAKER_02: Entities that have magic and don't need to breathe.

  SPEAKER_02: You see Counselor Norn look over her shoulder as he's walking away.
• 1:32:46
  SPEAKER_02: You'll get information after your presence here is approved.
• 1:32:53
  SPEAKER_00: None of you are... None of you are fun.
• 1:33:02
  There is a lot of information and a lot of baggage that you
• 1:33:06
  bring and we cannot
• 1:33:07
  risk divulging information until we assess the risk Baggage
• 1:33:18
  Catching one of your
• 1:33:19
  most wanted criminals is baggage I see Crashing a ship into a
• 1:33:23
  city I wasn't
• 1:33:25
  SPEAKER_00: piloting it Why do people keep blaming us for that?
• 1:33:28
  SPEAKER_00: I can't even try
• 1:33:30
  SPEAKER_00: They're jealous, we're attractive, and we survived.
• 1:33:34
  SPEAKER_03: Oh.
• 1:33:35
  SPEAKER_03: It's like the opposite of survivor's guilt.
• 1:33:38
  SPEAKER_03: You have no proof of that.
• 1:33:39
  SPEAKER_02: Fishing port destroyed.
• 1:33:43
  SPEAKER_00: Wasn't us.
• 1:33:45
  SPEAKER_02: We were on our airship.
• 1:33:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not behind the queue.
• 1:33:48
  SPEAKER_02: City under siege.
• 1:33:51
  SPEAKER_02: Overthrown government.
• 1:33:54
  SPEAKER_03: We didn't overthrow a government.
• 1:33:55
  SPEAKER_03: Do you think we'd be here if we did?
• 1:33:56
  SPEAKER_00: That's also my government.
• 1:34:00
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, I'm still mad about that.
• 1:34:01
  SPEAKER_02: That makes you more suspicious.
• 1:34:04
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'm the one who got overthrown?
• 1:34:07
  SPEAKER_00: Why is that my fault?
• 1:34:09
  SPEAKER_02: Overthrown from the inside, our informants tell us.
• 1:34:14
  SPEAKER_00: If it was me, would my face be on the wanted posters?
• 1:34:18
  SPEAKER_00: No, it would not.
• 1:34:21
  SPEAKER_02: Some kind of night stalker issue in every Arlegian city you've been to.
• 1:34:33
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I don't have anything for that one.
• 1:34:36
  SPEAKER_00: I was only aware of that in the one city.
• 1:34:39
  I don't know how you can just take every crime ever and blame
• 1:34:42
  it on us just because we exist.
• 1:34:44
  SPEAKER_02: Missing Arliegian city officials.
• 1:34:49
  SPEAKER_02: A dismembered man sent to our friend.
• 1:34:53
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe that was a warning from someone.
• 1:34:58
  SPEAKER_03: Weird, weird behavior to blame us.
• 1:35:03
  SPEAKER_02: Shortly after he was sent there, they were attacked again.
• 1:35:06
  SPEAKER_00: By us?
• 1:35:09
  SPEAKER_00: Did the man who was dismembered do it?
• 1:35:14
  SPEAKER_00: Because if not... You know, I don't know what to tell you.
• 1:35:19
  SPEAKER_02: We don't have any other information other than that.
• 1:35:20
  SPEAKER_02: We lost contact.
• 1:35:22
  SPEAKER_03: It's all circumstantial at best.
• 1:35:24
  SPEAKER_00: Which is why we should be having this emergency council meeting now.
• 1:35:29
  SPEAKER_00: Because we have so much information...
• 1:35:32
  SPEAKER_02: We can't have an emergency council meeting right now Why?
• 1:35:35
  The coin said so The coin can kiss my perfectly sculpted ass
• 1:35:41
  The coin has spoken
• 1:35:45
  Blue flames appear on all nine tails The coin is law I don't
• 1:35:54
  see it written
• 1:35:55
  SPEAKER_00: anywhere So Not law that I've seen
• 1:36:00
  and I know most of them a blue flare gets launched at you and
• 1:36:08
  then in front of your
• 1:36:09
  face a very long piece of legal document is apparated all right
• 1:36:15
  can I touch it like
• 1:36:17
  is it paper it's illusioned paper can I like lean in yeah and
• 1:36:27
  squint and like scan
• 1:36:28
  SPEAKER_00: it mm-hmm okay
• 1:36:30
  yeah bunch of legalese that basically means no counselors to be
• 1:36:41
  woken up outside of
• 1:36:42
  their on-call shift unless there's a dire emergency determined
• 1:36:47
  by one of various
• 1:36:48
  different methods chosen by the counselors and Ellis' chosen
• 1:36:52
  method is the coin for
• 1:36:58
  SPEAKER_00: the record for the record
• 1:37:01
  I feel like Wren might disagree with you on what counts as an
• 1:37:05
  emergency that should
• 1:37:06
  SPEAKER_00: be dealt with right now.
• 1:37:07
  SPEAKER_00: Just saying.
• 1:37:09
  I feel like Babin would also disagree with you on what
• 1:37:13
  constitutes an emergency right now.
• 1:37:15
  SPEAKER_02: But did Wren's mother reach out to you?
• 1:37:19
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:37:21
  SPEAKER_00: Probably because she's busy defending from a siege.
• 1:37:25
  SPEAKER_02: She wouldn't have to be busy defending from a siege.
• 1:37:27
  SPEAKER_02: She'd end it.
• 1:37:30
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so Wren, Babin.
• 1:37:32
  SPEAKER_00: Babin's the one out of his hat.
• 1:37:34
  SPEAKER_00: Belfast.
• 1:37:34
  Belfast would also disagree about what constitutes an emergency
• 1:37:39
  that the council
• 1:37:40
  SPEAKER_00: should be greeted by.
• 1:37:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm pretty sure... Yeah.
• 1:37:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, he is.
• 1:37:48
  SPEAKER_00: Kidnapped.
• 1:37:50
  SPEAKER_03: Which, I might add, you don't see him here, so it was not us.
• 1:37:56
  SPEAKER_00: Babin is
• 1:37:57
  probably kidnapped you could have him hidden somewhere else and
• 1:37:59
  this is all a big
• 1:38:00
  ruse I even have Baventat Baventat misses him that's surprising
• 1:38:06
  do we look that
• 1:38:07
  organized like you all are giving us way too much credit and I
• 1:38:13
  give myself a lot of
• 1:38:14
  credit we're gonna have a meeting tomorrow the counselors and
• 1:38:23
  the elders will hear
• 1:38:24
  SPEAKER_02: your case
• 1:38:28
  SPEAKER_02: and we'll go from there.
• 1:38:30
  SPEAKER_03: Will we get to pet your tail?
• 1:38:33
  SPEAKER_00: Can we pet your fox form?
• 1:38:39
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know you like that yet.
• 1:38:42
  SPEAKER_00: What if I ask really nicely?
• 1:38:44
  SPEAKER_00: He looked really fuzzy.
• 1:38:46
  He flicks another flare out and just a wall of fire appears
• 1:38:51
  between you and him and
• 1:38:52
  SPEAKER_02: he walks away.
• 1:38:53
  SPEAKER_00: I would not do it without permission!
• 1:39:00
  SPEAKER_01: That was Elish, right?
• 1:39:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:39:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, Elish don't have played at.
• 1:39:07
  Eonor's just gonna look offended that he would go to that
• 1:39:10
  drastic of a measure.
• 1:39:15
  SPEAKER_02: Do you try to touch it?
• 1:39:16
  SPEAKER_00: No, I do not.
• 1:39:17
  SPEAKER_02: To fire?
• 1:39:18
  SPEAKER_00: No.

  SPEAKER_02: No?
• 1:39:19
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:39:21
  SPEAKER_00: Eonor understands no.
• 1:39:24
  SPEAKER_00: Eonor just also likes fuzzy creatures.
• 1:39:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go pet Poppy then.
• 1:39:33
  SPEAKER_03: That's a feathery creature.
