Oh So 00:10:02.250 --> 00:10:03.600 I feel just fine mate. 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:15.028 You bring back your axe, and you sweep it across the floor making sparks come off it. 00:10:11.038 --> 00:10:26.399 As it scrapes against the stone, you come up and cut into his side, you can see that it does a very deep gash in his left side and he is he's looking bloodied. 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:36.599 At this point, he is a bit winded, kind of looking at the damage that you've done, and tries to re bolster himself to regain some of his confidence. 00:10:33.629 --> 00:10:36.599 But that is where that stands. 00:10:36.808 --> 00:10:37.678 Can you do anything else? 00:10:37.708 --> 00:10:41.369 I six it'd be good if we could use a little bit of your assistance right about now. 00:10:41.578 --> 00:10:47.489 Don't worry, I've got it. 00:10:41.578 --> 00:11:16.649 Alright. So six is going to this. This did not go the way I'd planned. kind of wanted to talk to you. But I understand the situation we're in. I channeled divinity and give 10 hit points to Archie. And I'm also going to use healing we're on Archie. Okay, and then I'm going to run away. Because I have very little influence. So 10 points goes to Archie, that's how much your max HP is 25. 00:11:16.649 --> 00:11:42.899 Right? So I can give you all 1024 24 Okay, well I can I can give you all 10. So Healing Word is one of the four plus one plus my spell casting modifier plus five. So you get up another 910 10 hit points I just showed you 20 hit points. Cool. So and then six is gonna get us the all of his movement to get let's just say 30 feet away from that guy. 00:11:43.350 --> 00:12:23.850 30 feet away. So this room, I never got the chance to describe this room. So I'll give you a little bit more imagery of what you can do in here. The room is 40 by 40. With two shuttered windows that are closed, one exit down the stairs. There's the Bunsen burner setup with various powders and liquids on the table behind Argo and two are and quite a few large unlit lamps hanging on the walls between various they kind of seem like they could be war forged parts, but not fully constructed at this point. But yeah, that's what you're working with. So if you're going to try and go down the exit, or get farthest away, you can go into an opposite corner. But right now everyone's kind of in the

center of the room. The best way to get farther away is going to be down the stairs. 00:12:24.330 --> 00:12:34.379 And just for the people listening just so we're all on the same boat. We're saying that we took a short rest even though we never officially announced it because 00:12:34.409 --> 00:12:38.159 when you leveled up I mean Sade. Subash the aura of St. Sebastian. 00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:39.149 Doc got 00:12:39.149 --> 00:12:42.330 it filled you with health. 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:49.980 We never announced the service. I just don't want people to be confused because I use my channel divinity in the last battle, but I get it back in short wrist so we're good. 00:12:49.980 --> 00:12:57.720 Yeah. Okay. Yep. All right, sister. I guess I moved to where the stairs are I move out into the stairs. 00:12:58.469 --> 00:13:01.979 So that's only about 15 feet away from you. If you want to get if you want to go down the stairs you can 00:13:02.009 --> 00:13:12.210 I'm gonna go down the stairs and I'm gonna play look out and I say, Archie, I got you back. I swear I'm not running away. But I'm also I also know there's people coming down from down here. So I'm watching out 00:13:12.779 --> 00:13:13.049 I think 00:13:15.629 --> 00:13:20.159 what? What people okay, we know there's people behind us, like Strickland in them. 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.370 Oh, right. Yeah. All right. Yeah, fuck. Okay. Yeah. 00:13:23.460 --> 00:13:42.960 Thanks. Okay. Then we are back to the top of the order with Argo. He will look over himself. 00:13:30.480 --> 00:14:00.629 And look back up at you, Archie and ask. So it seems as if we have both proven a little bit of poise in this situation. What do you say we do talk him down there. But you seem to make the decisions. 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:21.090 Well, Mike, here's the problem. I'm perfectly fine now and you're not. So here's what we're going to do. You're not going to do any funny waggling with your fingers, or any funny whispering or I'm going to clear your head clean off your shoulders. You can agree to that. Yeah, sure. We can have a bit of a discussion. 00:14:22.860 --> 00:14:26.639 What are what's your immunities during rage? 00:14:28.169 --> 00:14:35.490 Slashing bludgeoning is not immune Jesus just resistances just yet just basically to the physical stuff. 00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:40.379 He's trying to figure out how I can fuck my world. So 00:14:41.068 --> 00:14:47.278 he is 100% Look at his face. Right look at his stupid face. He's doing he's doing it. 00:14:47.698 --> 00:14:52.019 How will strike to egg the DM on to kill me. Hear that? 00:14:52.048 --> 00:14:56.249 He's trying to Okay. Let's go. 00:14:52.048 --> 00:14:56.249 Alright. Um, 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.970 so Argo will do 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.230 We'll look at you you can see this this glow coming start to come from his eyes as he begins whispering smack 00:15:08.669 --> 00:15:09.509 it's not your turn 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.578 his head off. Hey, Tom. 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.578 Oh taught. 00:15:14.849 --> 00:15:46.678 We've I was very lenient with the coaching so far. Okay, this is what happens. He does talk and you do listen, as he says, sit and wait. And I need you to roll. Give me a wisdom saving throw. I said, Okay. You sit, and you wait, and he looks down at you. And he nods without making any sort of dickish comments like at first popped into my head. That's not him. 00:15:47.188 --> 00:15:59.788 And he will begin walking towards the stairs. His hands, he will bring down to a side and he says hello, sixth. Hello. Now you see, 00:16:00.448 --> 00:16:01.528 how do you know my name? 00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:02.549 I 00:16:03.059 --> 00:16:12.960 know great many things about you six. And you seem to have found yourself in some interesting company and adjust your back over to Archie 00:16:12.990 --> 00:16:16.259 or He's very nice. He's my friend. Good. 00:16:16.828 --> 00:16:20.668 It's good to find friends when you're different. 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.429 I'm different. Oh, wait. 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.429 It was the last 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:28.679 eight hours. We're good. 00:16:33.659 --> 00:16:39.480 Well, I was I was I was really lucky. That's eight hours. That's all I gotta say. 00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:45.480 Yeah, that was funny to watch. Bruce was sitting county with his fingers. Okay, let's go ahead. 00:16:46.049 --> 00:16:49.679 Archie was also doing that. He's still doing actually doesn't know how long it's lasting. 00:16:54.990 --> 00:17:14.549 Yeah, you said it's good to make friends. You responded with some stuff? Look, I'm certain that you have a fair number of questions, but I'm not certain that now is the time to answer them. Because you see, you've sort of put me in a bit of a predicament that I'm guessing the guards down at the bottom floor are dispatched of 00:17:15.690 --> 00:17:18.990 a barbed one on the head. 00:17:15.690 --> 00:17:18.990 With my mace 00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:24.450 Does he still breathe? 00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:24.450 Yes. Oh, that's nice. Very good. 00:17:24.539 --> 00:17:26.160 Is it? Is my life all 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:34.349 human? Yes. I try not to kill them. But when I try to interrupt them, yes. What am I saying? What was going on? 00:17:35.309 --> 00:17:40.200 What? Okay, right. 00:17:35.309 --> 00:17:40.200 Listen, 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:40.920 that. 00:17:42.029 --> 00:17:46.259 Do you think we can trust your friend to keep a cool hand in this matter? 00:17:46.410 --> 00:17:48.000 Oh, absolutely not. Nope. 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.990 You could certainly you could certainly talk. He didn't say 00:17:52.019 --> 00:17:59.609 no fucking chance. Yeah, old bastard. Yeah, no, I guess God. No fucking old bastard. 00:18:00.210 --> 00:18:05.789 He's definitely my favorite human that I've met so far. But not cool headed is not one of his traits. 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:16.440 Right. So listen, there are a fair number of things that could be

done at this juncture. 00:18:11.849 --> 00:18:17.640 I could completely in both of you very. 00:18:18.450 --> 00:18:19.950 I'd rather you not do that. 00:18:20.549 --> 00:18:27.180 I'd rather I'd not do that at this point, too. You're too precious to me six. Huh? 00:18:27.930 --> 00:18:33.509 Here's the question. If you were precious to him, was your head in a fucking bag? That doesn't make any sense. 00:18:33.990 --> 00:18:39.750 Yeah, and do you know brother cancel trying to find him? He brought my head 00:18:41.369 --> 00:18:47.609 Alright, so which question Do you want me to answer first brother Ganzel? 00:18:42.900 --> 00:18:51.059 Brother Ganzel brother ganzes a fucking thief. Oh, next question. 00:18:52.109 --> 00:19:03.809 Sounds likely for the man over here make an explosive robots to kill town people. They don't explode. Notice how he didn't avoid to kill townspeople? Oh shit. I 00:19:03.809 --> 00:19:09.390 wasn't I fixated on the one part. No, they also weren't did they did not kill anyone, did they? 00:19:10.138 --> 00:19:11.098 They sure as hell tried. 00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:19.410 They did not to because they also didn't injure any townsfolk. Now if anyone tried to stop them from doing what they were doing, then bothered 00:19:20.099 --> 00:19:21.240 storehouse folk. 00:19:21.750 --> 00:19:29.130 And they definitely injured him. Definitely. Ah, and they definitely destroyed his forge that I had to save him from. 00:19:29.490 --> 00:19:31.710 Absolutely. Ah. All right, 00:19:31.710 --> 00:19:38.549 well, that was a little unplanned. I haven't really gotten the soul fusion correctly. It's sent it out in the Utica. 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:43.950 Well, what were those? You use two words in conjunction? 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:46.829 That doesn't make sense soul and fusion. 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:58.799 Yes, it's when you fuse a soul to with you have forgotten so much. Oh. Know what else to say there? 00:19:59.730 --> 00:20:05.160 Why But I guess I'm explain. 00:20:06.750 --> 00:20:27.809 I would honestly love to explain more, but I'm certain that there is something to be said about information overload six. And based on what we've done in the past. I, we, you and I, 00:20:28.470 --> 00:20:31.049 whoa, do I get any memories from that? 00:20:31.829 --> 00:20:33.539 You get a flashback. 00:20:31.829 --> 00:20:33.539 You're a baby. 00:20:34.650 --> 00:20:36.900 I can assure you this is my first time meeting you. 00:20:37.589 --> 00:21:03.240 I can assure you it's not. There are a fair number of things that I would like us to discuss and figure out, listen, I am. He snaps his fingers and you can feel you're freed from the suggestion, Archie. I'm going to trust that you're not going to come up and fucking whack me again with an axe. Owl by the way. Because we have a lot of pressing, things to discuss 00:21:03.269 --> 00:21:04.829 depends on what you do next. 00:21:06.509 --> 00:21:15.690 I'm going to calmly walk over to my desk and take a look

at some things. 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.859 All right, then the x stays for now. Great. 00:21:22.888 --> 00:21:23.909 I'm watching you. 00:21:24.419 --> 00:21:28.709 Well, I wouldn't. We've been talking I don't expect you to actually look in any other direction. 00:21:29.339 --> 00:21:30.390 I looked down the stairs. 00:21:32.069 --> 00:22:33.269 That also hasn't changed. ADHD is just a fucking thing across all spectrums, I suppose. And he begins walking over to the desk and unraveling a few scrolls. You can see him looking through some parchments and some of these scrolls, catch your eyes as you're looking at it. And both of you can see these. They're like maps with lines of multi colors, like these magical lines streaking across them. And what looks like to be glowing runes on these same things. There's like a few scrolls that have these scripts that you don't recognize. And then he ends up coming to one particular scroll that he pushes aside for a moment and then does a double take as he's looking at it. And he looks back at both of you and says I have are there have you noticed anything odd very odd on your way here? 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:39.480 You know my I got out of the clinic about five days ago and everything I've seen is odd, 00:22:39.569 --> 00:22:45.630 right but I mean like it's dreadful. Ooh, rangy What's up Rangi Reggie says 00:22:45.630 --> 00:22:48.210 a goblin who can guide you through the split Anlin Oh no, not 00:22:48.210 --> 00:22:50.759 so not not not the No, no, it's 00:22:50.759 --> 00:23:01.319 not your robots getting they're not robots, your whatever getting brutalized by guardsmen in a town because they are tacking townsfolk 00:23:01.829 --> 00:23:03.390 with those didn't have souls. 00:23:03.509 --> 00:23:09.299 I've never seen the earth quite move like it did in the splinterlands I've but that's my first time to the splinterlands 00:23:09.990 --> 00:23:30.990 That was quite a quake but wait, he begins flipping very quickly through some of these other scrolls he lands on a map and you can see this purple line coming down that's arcing across it but you aren't close enough to see what it's doing and he is tracing this line with his eyes and you can begin to see beads of sweat appear on his brow 00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:34.289 while we're waiting live 00:23:34.470 --> 00:23:39.420 well your heartbeat is increased and your your you got water coming from your forehead 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:48.390 All right you're correct on both accounts you don't have a heart rate monitor I definitely have God's fucking kids not It's not you don't 00:23:48.420 --> 00:23:51.930 also have soiled yourself. 00:23:48.420 --> 00:23:51.930 What's what's happening 00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:55.319 being that was me oxide nothing to do what is already in right now. 00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:04.829 I'm really being I have not replicated or urinated inside my clothing. I am quite and you drink vodka 00:24:07.619 --> 00:24:09.539 that's me. You smell alcohols? 00:24:10.769 --> 00:24:13.740 I am I'm 15 years sober. 00:24:14.190 --> 00:24:16.710 Oh, it must be Archie Archie gross. I 00:24:16.740 --> 00:24:19.349 just said it was me and him. Can we move forward now? 00:24:20.579 --> 00:24:34.470 There is there is something making its way here. i i And you can see like, color starts to pour from his face as he seems to get more worried. 00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:39.539 I know that's not my fault. You're not losing that much blood. 00:24:40.829 --> 00:24:57.299 Can No, no wait. He starts flinging some of his vials and stuff around and he pulls out a red vial pops the cork up and knocks it back and you can see like his wounds beginning to coagulate some. 00:24:52.410 --> 00:24:57.299 That's a bit better look. 00:24:58.500 --> 00:25:58.559 Alright, so there is something coming And I should it might not be coming here we we could be okay. And then you can see the lanterns on the wall begin to glow with this faint purple light. And he says, oh fuck, no, that's the vicinity alarm and they begin to get brighter and brighter. And you said, that's, that's not right. Something with that power shouldn't unless he begins to trace his finger back across the parchment that he's looking at. And if you two got closer you can see it's a map and you can see that there's a faint line trailing from his finger but the brightest point is getting ever closer to that looks like the location of the Leylen Ruins and he traces his finger all the way back to the end of the faint line, which begins at the closest mountain range. And he says something comes from the jailbreak with great haste. 00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:02.609 Huawei the jailbreak mountains that's not where we were, is it the opposite 00:26:02.609 --> 00:26:05.339 outbreaks mountains are to the or to the east, 00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:13.200 to the further east. Okay, it's like further into the continent. Okay, so where we came from was wound hole which is on the west. Yeah, that's 00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:15.210 a canyon. There's the mountains got. 00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:20.250 Alright, so you've got a fancy colorful map that lights up and says things are coming. 00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:20.250 What does that mean? 00:26:21.420 --> 00:26:24.299 It means two things. 00:26:21.420 --> 00:26:51.420 One, something that I'm uncertain of what it is, which is wild is on its way here. It could have been the massive trimmers that have traced across the splinter lens that we haven't had in decades. But I don't know how that could have gotten something called something from the veil break that makes no sense. 00:26:52.650 --> 00:26:54.210 And in the veil break 00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:13.349 I've mountain dwarves I don't know it's right on the edge of of basically no man's land and then to farther east is Eema vest the land of the desert elves so there's there's there's not much that I know of in the in the jailbreak mountains other than mountains. 00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:15.720 Should

we run 00:27:17.250 --> 00:27:25.380 at the speed that it's going? I don't believe that running is an option. I believe we must prepare to defend ourselves. 00:27:26.130 --> 00:27:31.470 While using my canonical heartbreak heart rate meter, I can tell that you are serious. 00:27:31.769 --> 00:27:35.009 roll roll for heart, a heart beat my heart monitor 00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:41.700 that's the 69 days. What do I add to it? 00:27:41.970 --> 00:27:47.099 Nothing. You certainly think you have a heart rate monitor. Okay. 00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:55.589 Maybe we should go out to greet it. That 00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:01.410 Well, I suppose there's no better thing to do. 00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:08.069 I can tell you that there's also the Do you are you aware of the black hole collective? 00:28:08.819 --> 00:28:10.289 Yeah, they're fucking assholes. 00:28:11.430 --> 00:28:13.349 They're almost here. Oh, 00:28:13.529 --> 00:28:17.400 you know what? Just for that. I'm sorry. I hit you in my axe because they are so 00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:21.839 like, Everyone Everyone knows that. But okay. Ah, 00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:24.779 heal him. I use I use a Cure Wounds. Okay, 00:28:24.809 --> 00:28:31.440 you heal up the last bits of them. You can see his wounds. Basically, the blood coagulating and not continue to drip. He looks better. 00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:39.299 That's two of my spell slots. But I think that I want to see I'm hoping this guy's on our side. It seems like, 00:28:39.750 --> 00:29:06.900 Look, I I think we abandon all things here and make our way down. If you'd like to greet this. How powerful is it and the purple lights on the walls get brighter and brighter until the glass around them breaks. That's, that's not normal. That's a very that's not normal. And he begins to hurriedly walk down the stairs. 00:29:08.430 --> 00:29:11.609 Can I look at the line on the map again, before I will see 00:29:11.609 --> 00:29:23.519 a lot of faint traces of lines. As a matter of fact, you can see a very, very faint line coming from the direction that you came in across the splinter lens beneath the wound. 00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:27.839 Well, I know how close is that one is it looked like they're going to arrive at about the same time. 00:29:28.289 --> 00:29:29.700 No, it looks like that's already here. 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:36.750 Oh, oh, was that our line? 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:36.750 Are you saying that's our line? 00:29:36.750 --> 00:29:37.079 Or is it 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.789 it's a single line like okay, all right. Well, that's fine. I roll it roll our cannon. 00:29:39.150 --> 00:29:41.789 You can roll Okay. 00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:46.349 That's a 10 on dice was to 12. 00:29:47.670 --> 00:29:59.190 I mean, across this map, you do see a lot of faint lines kind of moving. Most of them are just dots really? In little sections. But yeah. Okay, 00:29:59.250 --> 00:30:06.059 I'm gonna I'm gonna look around the area before going on stage and see if there's anything

I can use as a improvised explosive device. 00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:10.920 There's a lot of liquids and powders on the table he was working on next to the Bunsen burner setup. 00:30:11.670 --> 00:30:19.980 Okay, well, while he's looking for that I do before I get off this map, is there any other really bright lines? Or is this the like, biggest brightest light bullshit love 00:30:20.309 --> 00:30:57.960 this, this, the purple line is the absolute brightest thing on the map, and you can tell where it is. And it's getting really close at this point. By the edge of it being the brightest, the point of it, that is near Leylen ruins, there's a few other bright, not nearly as bright but brighter than most other things off in the region of EMA VAs between the two mountain ranges on the map. And a few larger but not brighter lights off far to the east. 00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:01.829 I just I begin to collect random things. 00:31:01.890 --> 00:31:06.150 Okay, go ahead and roll. 00:31:01.890 --> 00:31:08.279 What would you roll for just trying to put together some things? Oh, I was 00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:12.480 gonna say I assume that we just wait until I use them and just roll it and see if something. Yeah, 00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:31.440 you start you start just pouring stuff in a single glass container. And like all this stuff begins to swirl together these powders and liquids and you just have you have this one nice, large cork bubble vial of liquids. 00:31:31.619 --> 00:31:35.789 Yeah. All right. Cool. So something has got to explode. 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:37.769 Yeah. Well, Randy's 00:31:37.769 --> 00:31:38.910 got explosive downstairs. 00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:41.039 That's right. So 00:31:42.059 --> 00:31:48.299 yeah, that's what you're able to put together. That's what able to see on the map. 00:31:43.829 --> 00:31:52.859 Professor Malik hot has gone downstairs, you can hear him his issues clicking in stairs as he continues to descend? Yeah, 00:31:52.859 --> 00:31:55.259 I'm gonna follow. Okay. 00:31:52.859 --> 00:31:55.529 Come on six. Let's get out of here. 00:31:55.650 --> 00:31:59.880 I don't see a better course of action. Follow as well. 00:32:00.869 --> 00:32:13.619 Okay. All right, the two of you, with your improvised liquid bomb head downstairs, and you meet up, you individually catch up to Professor mount cut. 00:32:10.710 --> 00:32:46.710 Down at the bottom next to the entrance, he is looking around frantically and trying to see if anything's on the horizon to the east. And as the three of you look out in that direction, you can see this, it almost looks like smoke. But it's strange, in that everything that's in it doesn't seem to be obscured by the smoke, but just seems to not exist when it's engulfed by this sort of inky moving substance. 00:32:46.710 --> 00:32:57.180 And it's, it stretches across a decent distance, you probably think the better part of 100 yards wide off in the distance. 00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:10.170 And it sort of undulates, and it's approaching at a rapid speed, which is kind of hard to tell based on its mass, but you can just see it getting larger and larger. And you're thinking it's because it's getting closer and wider. 00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:13.710 Olga, is that is that the thing? That is 00:33:13.710 --> 00:33:20.400 something I have never seen. But it must it must be well, 00:33:20.819 --> 00:33:29.609 what before whatever that is gets here. On a scale of one to 10 How would you rate our interaction today? 00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:42.839 You've taken forms and done it into this for your person. I think God I guess put we know now that personality doesn't change between the transference. Fantastic. 00:33:42.898 --> 00:33:46.979 Oh, you knew me before this. Was I a fan of forms? 00:33:47.009 --> 00:33:48.328 Because I'll do like forms. 00:33:49.019 --> 00:34:20.039 Yes, it's it was incredibly annoying. Everything was a checklist off form of this is not the time. That thing which is now kind of formed into this much smaller but pinpointed mass that is just coming at you incredibly quickly. And Argo begins like weaving his hands together, you see forming like a fireball in between his fingers. 00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:31.920 We must throw. Here's the problem with incredible, incredibly powerful entities. It could be good. It really could be. But why is it coming here this quickly? 00:34:32.550 --> 00:34:34.260 What is it? What was it after? 00:34:35.070 --> 00:34:37.800 That's a good question. 00:34:35.070 --> 00:34:37.800 I've got no clue. 00:34:38.309 --> 00:34:47.280 So hold on. Let me quick summary. There's a large powerful entity, blistering tortoise and you are researching it but you have no idea what it actually does. 00:34:47.579 --> 00:34:52.949 I'm researching things like him. I'm building this and he pointed six. 00:34:53.429 --> 00:34:56.280 All right, then why do you know what this thing is? Or had a map for it? 00:34:56.730 --> 00:35:20.369 I've just got an icon From the I've come from the college. And I Yes, there are there are there are spells that have been cast on that map for years and years to be able to trace particular powerful entities. It's a sign of warning, and it's attached to those lights to go. Ding ding, get the hell out of here before something comes in, kills you. 00:35:21.449 --> 00:35:25.199 All right, then. One second. Hold on. I gotta look for Ranji. 00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:36.360 Okay, you go look. Yeah, Randy is on the remember, he's on the edge of town, you could trace your way back to him, it's gonna take you 10 minutes to get there and back. 00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:40.619 Out didn't realize it was that far. It will 00:35:40.619 --> 00:35:42.929 10 minutes total, so wouldn't be 20 minutes total. 00:35:42.929 --> 00:35:44.969 But yeah, it'll take you for like five minutes to get on the edge of town. 00:35:45.778 --> 00:35:46.498 What if I run. 00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:56.489 If you're going at breakneck speed trying to get

to the edge of it. You could probably cut it down and half the time. So you could probably make it in five minutes there and back. 00:35:56.730 --> 00:36:01.800 But that thing is going to be here within five minutes more than likely this way, the way it looks if we can already see it. 00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:04.019 And it's coming that fast. 00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:04.019 That's my guess. 00:36:04.650 --> 00:36:08.579 No idea what we're going to try it because I need something that goes boom. And I don't know if this does. 00:36:08.730 --> 00:36:14.309 Okay. Go ahead. You you take off. And 00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:16.500 I don't even explain myself. 00:36:16.710 --> 00:36:21.059 Mathcad goes what? 00:36:16.710 --> 00:36:21.840 That's so much for character, I suppose. 00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:25.679 I'm sure he has a plan. He would not abandon me. We're best friends. 00:36:26.070 --> 00:36:28.440 You've haven't even known him for more than a day. 00:36:28.650 --> 00:36:29.849 Best friends. 00:36:31.380 --> 00:36:38.340 Alright, so another check off the list. The concept of friendship apparently is rewritable. 00:36:39.059 --> 00:36:46.739 So does that mean that Archie and myself are not powerful enough to show up on your map? You would have been warned of our presence. 00:36:47.909 --> 00:36:56.280 I would have been. I am wandering the lights warn me to look at the map to try and see the things that are powerful coming in my direction. 00:36:56.309 --> 00:36:59.730 So we don't set up the lights dim? No. 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:13.559 I'm sorry. One day I will set off the light. Like I Yes. I mean, I know. I knew where you were. You are on the map. Really? Well, I don't I have to have a tracker on you. 00:37:13.739 --> 00:37:18.539 It would have only made sense to Ganzel came in. It's fine. 00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:20.969 Look, I have so many questions. 00:37:21.449 --> 00:38:03.300 I will and I will answer them after we take care of this entry points off in the distance and this thing is now probably a quarter of a mile away as it is barreling towards you. It seems to be like a wave undulating over itself crashing down. You can't see anything behind it so you don't know what effect it's taken on the land. And now we'll go to Archie who has gotten to the end of town and you can see there Rangi is winding up in a cartoonish fashion. His arm with a bomb as the black hold Collective is now using the time of stillness across a splitter lens to make their way closer and closer. 00:38:04.170 --> 00:38:14.369 raunchy don't throw that disregard don't do it. I'm still running. Disregard. Don't do it. 00:38:11.460 --> 00:38:14.369 Okay. 00:38:14.789 --> 00:38:18.389 You make your way up to him. And he's like, You look so disappointed. 00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:33.420 This Dory will throw something bigger. I just grabbed him. I just like like, like a small child under the arm and not fit on. The big block thing. 00:38:28.139 --> 00:38:33.420 That's what we're gonna hit.

00:38:34.139 --> 00:38:36.420 Go ahead and give me contested strength contest. 00:38:36.989 --> 00:38:39.329 Okay, isn't it so strength save. 00:38:41.010 --> 00:38:45.599 You can give me athletics. Let's just drink contest, just real strength and add your proficiency. 00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:48.420 Okay, I got a 19 on the bass. So Oh, yeah, 00:38:48.449 --> 00:39:16.199 no, you pick it. You pick up with these ends, like, I'm just I'm trying to break into his voice while still talking with mine. He instantly goes limp. Like, like a cat does, but it doesn't want to be picked up. And he's like, Oh, I'll shut up. each other can burn well, okay, the area around him could have gotten burned because it just dawned on him directly just melted southern fall to their death. 00:39:16.949 --> 00:39:22.619 Well, you added that last part on there, but sure, it'd be okay. Trust me. Just just just just hold on to the promise. 00:39:22.619 --> 00:39:24.000 I've done this. I've done it up. Bam. 00:39:24.809 --> 00:39:26.909 I absolutely do that. 00:39:28.110 --> 00:40:08.940 We'll go back over to six. Look, if there is anything you want to know, I can explain once we're free of whatever this is now with as bright as the line was and what it was doing to the lights. It's going to take all of us to try and stop it. If we were to flee. I don't wait. They could be attracted to something I've been Why would an entity have that power and wants something that I've been working on? It makes no sense. I'm the is only there's only a few people that know that I'm doing this and none of them that I know of could have control of a something like that. Especially not coming from that location. 00:40:09.690 --> 00:40:15.630 Honestly, I am more confused now than I've ever been. And I was ahead in a bag. 00:40:18.300 --> 00:40:21.539 I had had a whole body for you. It was 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:25.949 really? Yes. Is it here? 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:25.949 Yes. Well, can I have 00:40:25.949 --> 00:40:38.070 it? No, it isn't. It's not sadly, it's actually still back at the colleges back in Casta Haven. I wish I had it. It would have come in handy. 00:40:38.699 --> 00:40:41.039 By go to Castor Haven, I get a nice body. 00:40:41.849 --> 00:40:54.269 Yes, if we make it out of this I you guess Yes. You must come back with me to Castor Haven. If we make it out of this. It will we'll be able to, we'll be able to go back to the way things were and solve everything and figure it out. 00:40:55.019 --> 00:40:57.599 Only if my best friend Archie can come as well. 00:40:58.170 --> 00:41:08.460 Fine. I don't care, the more protection we have while moving across the better and he does kind of seem the criminal sort. Is he going to make it through guard checkpoints? 00:41:09.539 --> 00:41:10.800 Oh, probably not. 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:43.650 Right? Well, I can I can handle that. That's fine. And then you look off in the horizon, this thing is very close. At this distance, once again, you cannot see anything the trees and the ridges in the hills that it passes by, you cannot see into but it doesn't look like it's smoke obscuring these things. It just looks like these things just aren't there anymore. And by this point, Archie is is almost back to 00:41:43.650 --> 00:41:49.650 you. From your perspective, is the whole thing. 00:41:50.099 --> 00:41:54.119 The entity or is something creating this smoke. I can't tell. 00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:03.000 That's a that's a very astute question. I'll go ahead and roll. 00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:10.320 It's a 14 on dice plus five perception baby knighting. 00:42:10.469 --> 00:42:23.489 Okay. As you look into this thing, it moves organically. The parts of it that seem to be moving like organic looking, 00:42:24.030 --> 00:42:29.460 smoke is moving or get like it looks like it's not really smoking or something. 00:42:29.489 --> 00:42:32.579 Well, it seems to like be moving as one entity, right? 00:42:32.579 --> 00:42:55.530 Like it's not like smoke moving off it it seems to be this one thing. Moving over the hills organically like, you know. Like it has a mind and a movement and emotion to it. It has weight behind it and intent. It is sentient. Seems that bikes are 00:42:56.070 --> 00:42:56.789 sentient. 00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:07.980 Yeah. I explained that to Argo. And I said, you know, at this moment, I would suggest that we ran. But I don't think that's going to help. 00:43:08.940 --> 00:43:17.849 Oh, we probably would have run 100%. But if we do happen to make it out of it. We can pick up where we left off. 00:43:17.909 --> 00:43:19.500 It would be a beautiful thing six. 00:43:20.969 --> 00:43:25.440 Huh? You never answered my question on a scale of one to 10. 00:43:25.469 --> 00:43:49.050 And now you start to hear it. This thing moving is this. This the End of sound silence washes over from that direction. And it's just this eerie lack of wind or anything as it moves in this direction. 00:43:44.489 --> 00:43:56.849 And Archie you make it back with the little goblin in your arm. 00:43:50.070 --> 00:44:17.760 And Rangi is still he's he's holding his bomb in his hands and he looks off to the east and sees this thing and his eyes go wide and you can feel him tense up. And all of you are standing there facing this thing that is barreling towards you. I'm not going to ask you for any sort of initiative. I just want to know what you're going to do. 00:44:19.380 --> 00:44:26.130 I set Ranjit down and I say see these big vile I'm gonna throw it you start you bomb afterwards 00:44:28.019 --> 00:44:31.110 Hassan bomb looser but you survived my throat bomb. 00:44:32.460 --> 00:44:33.329 Exactly. Ron G 00:44:34.619 --> 00:44:38.969 thought we're in this flow to probably 00:44:43.769 --> 00:44:58.829 right? Oh God, what can I do? Alright, I'm just going to cast guiding bolt on it at the same time to do on this. I'm going to I'm just going to use guiding bolt. 00:44:59.010 --> 00:45:09.570 So you're preparing guiding

bolt you can see that Argo is forming a fireball in his hands. You think it's going to be this bell? Fireball? 00:45:07.619 --> 00:45:09.570 You're welcome. 00:45:10.409 --> 00:45:11.429 Because it's a fireball. 00:45:11.998 --> 00:45:19.409 I specifically would like to cast guiding bolt before they throw the bomb actually, because it gives them advantage on attack rows. 00:45:19.619 --> 00:45:21.659 Okay? You'll have to let them know that. 00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:23.849 Let me go first. That's what I said. How 00:45:23.849 --> 00:45:24.780 about all right go 00:45:27.269 --> 00:45:46.199 as this thing approaches because you were you were looking so intently at it before six. You can see almost a humanoid figure for a split, brief moment. appear right at the the front of it, and then it's engulfed by the rest of 00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:47.519 it. Okay. 00:45:48.150 --> 00:45:55.530 Okay. All right. So go ahead and roll your guiding bolt attacks, because I'm assuming that's an integral. 00:45:57.659 --> 00:46:00.630 It is. And that's a 1414 00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:26.190 All right. Yeah, this thing is pretty big. So you send a guiding bolt straight down at it, it pierces about where you saw the figure in it and you can see the guiding bolt become swallowed by by the entity as he starts to slow a little bit on its approach. But you release that and it hits 00:46:26.699 --> 00:46:30.539 do they Does it get any effect? Do I need a roll damage? 00:46:30.570 --> 00:46:32.730 You don't? You don't know. But go ahead with it. 00:46:33.329 --> 00:46:34.469 Okay, I will roll damage. 00:46:36.329 --> 00:46:43.409 When we say silence Are we talking like like a silent room? Are we talking like? Yeah, like kind of silent? 00:46:43.798 --> 00:46:52.588 Oh, well, okay. No, it's like the absence so like, yeah, like sound doesn't project from it. So yeah, like a like a completely enclosed soundproof room. 00:46:53.250 --> 00:47:05.190 So I actually did 18 damage to it and and if it has any effect on anything, then they then Bruce would get advantage on his throw here to hit it. 00:47:05.429 --> 00:47:11.489 Okay. It did go into it. 00:47:05.429 --> 00:47:13.230 It did. Air quotes hit it. So yeah, everyone else can old stuff at the bench. 00:47:14.460 --> 00:47:17.400 Cool, because otherwise I would have loved one. Okay. 00:47:19.500 --> 00:47:21.869 In the Bob lads, he whips 00:47:22.860 --> 00:47:24.719 I guess like a 19 hit. 00:47:24.869 --> 00:47:41.099 So you just you hurl your modified liquid bomb, explosive. Hopefully, as you throw it. arco looks up and goes. What the fuck was that? In its sales towards this thing. 00:47:41.789 --> 00:48:38.280 And then right after you throw Rangi hurls his little bomb off at it. And Argo is sitting there. He continues to form his fireball as it gets larger and larger preparing to launch it out. As you throw this, you can see that it's a perfect arch towards it. And Randy's bomb is flying closer and closer right behind it. And Rangi Rangi says this big berm and it explodes right behind yours. And yours shatters. And you can see this multicolored mist fly out and that ignite forward. As soon as it does. Argo sends out his fireball. And all of this multicolored flame is split, and then gets pulled in behind the fireball in towards this thing. 00:48:32.340 --> 00:48:55.500 And you don't see any indication of the light from it after it reaches. This thing continues towards you. And before it's about 30 feet from in front of you. You hear off to the side. 00:48:48.659 --> 00:49:18.659 The yells of Strickland, who is just pissed. You can see he's got some pieces of his armor off. still picking a few spiders off of him. And he says, You pieces of shit caused us to almost fall in Skinner is more pissed than I am and what the fuck are you doing? 00:49:19.710 --> 00:49:22.739 Not to be rude, but it's not really the time. 00:49:24.420 --> 00:49:27.300 I completely ignore it. 00:49:24.420 --> 00:49:28.739 I'm just watching these things even helped. Okay? 00:49:30.090 --> 00:49:38.789 Once all these things went in, you can see it starts to kind of shift and changes directions. It's going back and forth, kind of like the head of a snake slowly moving forward. 00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:54.989 It's engulfing parts of the ruins now and is very close. You feel as it stops that it senses you and somehow rears back this. 00:49:55.500 --> 00:50:20.699 This inky blackness and lurches to Ward's Oliver Strickland amidst his yelling finally looks over and sees this mass coming and his eyes go wide and he stops himself. I need all of you as this thing barrels towards you to roll me a dexterity saved to try and dive out of the way. 00:50:21.809 --> 00:50:24.210 Thank heavens I get to manage on that nice 00:50:27.900 --> 00:50:29.610 is it does it happen to be poisoned? 00:50:31.170 --> 00:50:32.190 Know what you got 00:50:36.179 --> 00:50:38.130 not natural, Tony. Nice. 00:50:38.668 --> 00:50:39.659 I'm pretty sure I'm dead 00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:44.460 for four. Okay. As this thing is barreling towards you. 00:50:45.210 --> 00:51:48.989 You can see the bit of it up front come to a point at this point you can kind of see the trail behind it. You can see that it is it does come to an end it's not just this endless black mass. What's happened to this stuff behind it as you dive over arching you can see that the landscape is untouched there is the hills and the trees and everything off in the distance still remaining. So whatever sort of silence effect has happened seems to be located only in it. You are able to move out of the way as is ranging however, six as you attempt to move something inside you something catches it's relatively nuisance to you at this moment. It is fear. And this thing crashes into 00:51:49.798 --> 00:51:53.759 before it does I look to I look at Archie says this should be interesting. 00:51:55.170 --> 00:51:56.250 And then 00:51:56.280 --> 00:52:05.250 I'm trying to like figure

out I'm trying to I'm really trying to figure out this would be because like Archie is a criminal but he's not a coward. 00:52:01.650 --> 00:52:06.360 I don't know if he would dive out of the way that's the only thing. 00:52:06.750 --> 00:52:12.750 I mean, it's it's it's a barreling black mass coming towards you. It's just no Yeah, absolutely. It's like instinctive. It's like a white 00:52:12.780 --> 00:52:15.869 flag. That's what I thought but I just I'm just like, 00:52:16.889 --> 00:52:22.559 and in that same moment. 00:52:16.889 --> 00:53:00.480 Professor Argo mascot is also caught in this thing crashes into him. And then instantly, Archie thought crosses your mind and says, Why did I come here alone? What was I supposed to find in the tower? And why am I looking at this thing? You look over to your side at the goblin thinking this is the I came by myself across the splinterlands to find something that some guy in a town is like I'll give you some money for and now you're just here with a goblin was this a smart move? 00:53:03.570 --> 00:53:04.590 i What was your name again? 00:53:08.369 --> 00:53:43.679 You know you remember arranging? Okay. You just you have no recollection of Professor Argo Malka or six what are the only things that you're looking at right now? Are the goblin besides you? Who is your bomb throwing buddy Strickland and the onyx company and their guide across this module and so you hate and this entity in front of you that is undulating and twisting and seems to be its mass turning to face knew what thought goes through you're 00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:50.820 not a hero should play to here and I should have left fucking Claire to die in this workshop. 00:53:51.510 --> 00:54:05.940 And as you say that this thing comes barreling towards you. The only thing that you can do as it why he's off in front of you. You think maybe in this moment you can save the goblin next year. 00:54:08.730 --> 00:54:10.019 Kick Rangi out of the way. 00:54:12.150 --> 00:54:26.070 You basically rear back your foot and through Spartan kick Rangi out of the way basically back beyond one of the the rubble walls in the direction of the Onyx company. 00:54:26.730 --> 00:54:30.599 I just I just my coat afterward as I stare this thing in the face, 00:54:30.690 --> 00:54:38.969 okay. Without any fear. 00:54:30.690 --> 00:54:43.800 This thing rushes into you and then it's nothing. Wait it got Archie to got Archie to 00:54:44.340 --> 00:54:46.829 Oh, nice campaign guys. 00:54:44.340 --> 00:54:46.829 I'll see y'all next. 00:54:48.719 --> 00:54:51.809 We're level two and it's a massive entity. What makes you think I'm gonna get away from it? 00:54:51.958 --> 00:54:54.239 Yeah, luckily Hold on. 00:54:51.958 --> 00:55:10.528 Luckily I rolled another character. I'm happy to introduce Sasha Grey. Wait, wait blocking Forestar Nother Why are you doing? Nother Thank you, man. Yeah, dude probably is. 00:55:06.748 --> 00:55:13.079 That sounds like such a pornstar to Jesus Christ. That's cut. 00:55:13.230 --> 00:55:14.969 No it's not no it's not 00:55:17.070 --> 00:55:19.409 suck it's important your wife to listen to. 00:55:22.380 --> 00:55:23.219 Right kid, 00:55:23.369 --> 00:55:26.010 but they then are of all fucking 00:55:26.010 --> 00:55:28.739 names I could have done it. Yeah, 00:55:28.739 --> 00:55:33.780 but it was certainly de related like, like Johnny sins or something. 00:55:34.409 --> 00:55:40.289 Yeah. Because there's so many names like, I can't think of any other pornstar name right now. 00:55:41.610 --> 00:57:09.480 Like it was quite a few years ago. Let's go. Okay. Yeah, so you to feel this cold rush this sort of dread as everything you know is ripped away from you. You can't feel the ground beneath your feet. You cannot feel your extremities your heart rate seems to not exist you feel unnatural. And your senses are tossed around in this sort of undulating motion ebbing and flowing like like the waves as you're in this. It's not darkness. It is nothingness. It is the expanse of the universe where things forgotten, tend to just drift away into nothingness. And then you can hear something off in the distance something that maybe if you tried hard enough you could get closer to it's the sound of waves gently washing along the shore. Just a slow motion of small whitecaps as they crest across sand. You can follow it or you can drift away 00:57:10.739 --> 00:57:12.780 yeah, I guess I'll go towards the sound 00:57:15.989 --> 00:58:23.130 I mean, I'd like to follow it I'm curious it's very curious Hello, dear listener, it's me again will aka the voice of six and I'm here to thank you for listening to episode five of our very first campaign than ever there. If you want to find out more about the world of your set and the continent of Lear, you can find a bunch of nerdy world building info at Nother realm.com Our next episode will be released on Monday, September the 26th. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you to 00:58:23.369 --> 00:58:28.199 think you're doing you're doing it without me. I told you not to do this without me. Oh, 00:58:28.590 --> 00:58:31.769 Archie, I thought you were away. 00:58:32.099 --> 00:58:34.829 Oh, you think I'm stupid. 00:58:32.099 --> 00:59:00.420 I'll show you the difference between dogs and wolves don't get out of my face. Now, for my brother's loves and dogs out there. This is it. We all knows who you came here. And if you could go to the review section of the streaming service in which you are listening to and rate my wonderful performance that would be perfect. And if you don't, I'll be doling out another lesson about wolves and dogs. 00:59:40.920 --> 01:00:43.860 The two of you. Do your best to pull some semblance of movement together without any sense other than the sound this emotion that you feel trying to find something and you edge closer and closer to the sound of the way moves. And eventually, as the as the nothingness begins to dissipate, it turns into this

sort of dreary Gray. The sky is this looks like it's about to rain, that sort of feeling where the clouds are slowly rolling in, and you eventually can't see the sunlight anymore. And you can eventually see the source of the waves. And then you realize that your bodies are here standing on top of water. The waves are just the the slow motion of the water. There is no wind here. 01:00:40.139 --> 01:00:43.860 But there was just anyone 01:00:43.860 --> 01:00:44.880 else. No, 01:00:44.940 --> 01:00:53.820 it is just this gray that we can't even see each other. Oh, you can you can see each other. And you can see, Professor Melkite actually is here as well. He got caught. 01:00:55.739 --> 01:01:02.280 You're just in this endless expanse of waves and gray sky, and water and gray sky. 01:01:03.179 --> 01:01:05.429 Can we see ourselves as well? Like I like yeah, you're 01:01:05.429 --> 01:01:13.829 aware of your body? You can you can see you feel that you don't feel normal just because of the place that you're in. But like you, you can do what 01:01:13.829 --> 01:01:18.750 Yeah, I just want it because you were saying it was like nothing. I just wanted to make sure like, we're not just some floating cocktail. And 01:01:19.139 --> 01:01:28.110 as you as you reach the waves, and you know this area, have you you've basically come to consciousness in this area after being 01:01:28.769 --> 01:01:31.769 my check I just my my coat again. 01:01:32.458 --> 01:01:36.329 It's completely fine. 01:01:32.458 --> 01:01:38.878 And actually, any damage that you might have taken recently is not there. 01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:44.730 Okay, cool. So the things that the glyphs or the Greeks did to my coat is also fixed. 01:01:43.110 --> 01:01:44.730 Yeah. 01:01:45.449 --> 01:01:57.840 You not only do nice, not feel like exhausted or tired, you don't really feel any sense of tiredness, or you could almost spell slots, but you don't you don't know. 01:01:58.648 --> 01:02:01.768 I looked down at that golden symbol or whatever that 01:02:02.789 --> 01:02:06.539 that is still there. 01:02:02.789 --> 01:02:20.730 That is still there. Yeah, as you try and get a sense of like your spell slots and stuff, your your spells, your magical abilities. Six, you don't really feel like there's any sort of connection to magic, you just feel like you're just here. 01:02:17.130 --> 01:02:35.010 You're just here, you don't really feel like any connection to any sort of energy. Like if you were hungry before you're not now if you were out of breath or exhausted before you certainly aren't now you actually, you know, just are. 01:02:31.230 --> 01:02:35.010 Are here, you're just here 01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:43.710 is my x also just here, your x is everything that you were carrying is also listed. 01:02:39.960 --> 01:02:45.630 Don't take that out, because this is fucking weird. 01:02:45.659 --> 01:02:47.190 Yeah, you take it out. 01:02:45.659 --> 01:02:47.190 All right, I 01:02:47.190 --> 01:02:55.110 guess I try to talk to everybody then. Can I talk? What do you say? Okay. I told you that would be interesting. 01:02:57.179 --> 01:03:00.690 I mean, it's actually a little bit blind if you truly wish to describe it. 01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:10.800 This is very bland. I mean, if you're into the kind of endless ocean gray sky landscape, then I suppose it's not so bad. 01:03:12.210 --> 01:03:15.119 Some times bland can be interesting. 01:03:16.349 --> 01:03:19.440 When? Right, I suppose. 01:03:19.829 --> 01:03:22.260 Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. No, you you got me there. 01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:32.489 Through all of my knowledge. I have no knowledge of this. So we're standing on water. You're standing on water. 01:03:33.269 --> 01:03:36.659 I bend down and I tried to put my hand through the water. 01:03:36.690 --> 01:03:44.940 Yeah, it goes down into it. And as you're looking down into the water, you can see what looks to be figures of people. 01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:53.969 Elves, Orcs. halflings. Dwarves just floating beneath the waves unaware of your presence. 01:03:56.730 --> 01:04:00.000 Gentlemen, have you tried looking down recently? 01:04:01.260 --> 01:04:05.070 Yeah. Okay. See the same thing? 01:04:06.300 --> 01:04:10.679 Question outside of game. 01:04:06.300 --> 01:04:15.269 Bruce completely forgot who we were. And now he's seemingly knows who we are. Correct. Okay, I did not. 01:04:17.309 --> 01:04:19.409 Remember, yeah, 01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:43.260 I guess I should say this. Aren't you? You remember, both six and Professor Argo malcode. Once you see them again. You You remember the moments before you were taken or engulfed or whatever has happened. And you can remember like the split second of of not remembering them. 01:04:44.460 --> 01:04:45.750 You guys know who I am, right? 01:04:47.670 --> 01:04:50.940 You're my best friend Archie Archibald Theodore Cromwell. 01:04:51.300 --> 01:05:03.659 So apparently the effect only happens on the outside or whatever the hell this is. What effect? Well, when you two were taken for split second I forgot your complete existence. 01:05:04.739 --> 01:05:06.210 Oh, that is interesting. 01:05:06.898 --> 01:05:11.818 Was there? Was there any bit like what did what? What happened? 01:05:12.449 --> 01:05:39.599 You were taken for whatever. And I sort of had an existential moment about why I was sitting in dirt next to a goblin with a giant, black, Inky mass about to consume me, it's kind of odd. Don't much think about things like that. Argo, 01:05:40.679 --> 01:06:14.400 he, his face is stuck as he appears off into the distance. Clearly thinking trying to piece together what's happened here. As you do look down beneath the waves. Again, these figures don't take any, there's no indication that they see you. And you can even see some of their eyes are open peering upwards. But they kind of are just just floating seems there's some currents down there, there are some that are drifting lower than the others.

01:06:07.380 --> 01:06:19.469 Just people beneath the waves, and you can you can reach down, but if you tried to reach it doesn't seem like you could ever reach any of them. 01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:25.949 Gotcha. So my handle will go under the water, but it seems like they are just very, very far. 01:06:26.009 --> 01:06:28.978 I mean, they're not. 01:06:26.009 --> 01:06:36.809 They both they just seem unreachable. Right. Like, it's this weird feeling of, you know, they could be close, based on you know, proximity and size. 01:06:37.858 --> 01:06:40.469 But like, they just seem unreachable. 01:06:41.400 --> 01:06:47.099 Gotcha. Okay, so they're always like they're always just out of reach. Yes. Okay, gotcha. 01:06:43.619 --> 01:06:47.099 Yeah. 01:06:49.380 --> 01:07:24.809 So yeah, Professor mal Cox looking off into the distance and then you hear this voice, and it sounds like stones rubbing across each other. It's not really like a human voice or a humanoid voice like something organic. Just like just this you scraping noises that seemed to be deep and still making words understandable words 01:07:24.809 --> 01:07:25.710 sound familiar? 01:07:26.460 --> 01:07:48.659 It does not sound familiar. Um, you know what? Let me let me say what it's gonna say and then I'll let you know how that feels. You hear the voice say interlopers in the drift. You should not be here yet. 01:07:50.010 --> 01:08:07.739 And you see a shadow begin to take form nearby. This one unlike the thing that engulfed you outside does seem to be purely shadow. Something that you can see it's partially transparent. Something about this humanoid finger figure. 01:08:08.519 --> 01:08:24.329 Something about this humanoid figure fills you with this existential dread and yet you feel as if you know them like their dear friend that you just haven't met yet. 01:08:25.260 --> 01:08:28.380 We weren't supposed to be here yet. And why did you drag us in here? 01:08:31.199 --> 01:08:33.239 Was not me. 01:08:34.649 --> 01:08:35.579 What is your name? 01:08:38.609 --> 01:08:49.289 It laughs in this this again. That's the grading of this sort of stone sound it is very unnatural. It says 01:08:52.020 --> 01:09:06.569 all show going to know me in their tie. I am then charged with the final tasks. 01:09:00.479 --> 01:09:13.380 When the last life across all universes sinks beneath the drift. My task will be complete. 01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:16.050 And I shall rest. 01:09:17.159 --> 01:09:18.270 Nice to meet you there. 01:09:19.170 --> 01:09:24.569 I know what you are. Oh, yes. Yeah. No death, Archie. 01:09:25.979 --> 01:09:30.989 I am known by that and quite a few universities. Yes. 01:09:32.699 --> 01:09:34.380 That explains why we're not supposed to be here. 01:09:35.430 --> 01:09:41.159 You can feel this. Like you can sense this figure is nodding. And it begins to walk closer. 01:09:43.050 --> 01:09:44.729 So how did the three of us leave? 01:09:47.279 --> 01:09:54.088 No one has ever escaped the drift. Why should you be any different? 01:09:55.170 --> 01:10:04.170 That's a good point. I don't know that I'm special. But I will like to leave. I still haven't found out my whole story yet. 01:10:05.640 --> 01:10:12.119 Every one is special. 01:10:05.640 --> 01:10:14.970 You are special. And most people don't know the end of their own story. 01:10:15.960 --> 01:10:19.619 Wait, if everyone is special, how am I then special? 01:10:22.500 --> 01:10:23.489 It 01:10:23.489 --> 01:10:24.359 chuckles again 01:10:28.199 --> 01:10:41.520 is a question that I think you must answer for yourself in time if you are too drift off to another plane of existence. 01:10:43.140 --> 01:10:46.590 And it continues to get closer to we hit him 01:10:48.539 --> 01:10:51.420 where I'm just waiting to see what Argo does too, because he's here. 01:10:52.619 --> 01:11:15.359 Argo does finally, after staring at this being for a minute listening. If it is not yet our time, then why can't we go? And death will respond. 01:11:17.460 --> 01:11:37.170 That is a good question. But if I were to let you go, or if there would to be a way out, that could be the end of the mortal realm. It could destroy the balance of everything. 01:11:39.029 --> 01:11:49.829 Okay, Archie's gonna squint at death, and he's just gonna be like, you know, make I've been living my entire life on borrowed time. I think I'll keep doing that. I think I'll go find a way out there. 01:11:51.960 --> 01:11:56.850 If there were to be a way out, where would you begin looking? 01:12:00.149 --> 01:12:03.869 This laugh echoes throughout the area. 01:12:05.340 --> 01:12:16.470 I wouldn't begin looking inside yourself. Or I suppose myself where I have to be in your shoes. 01:12:16.619 --> 01:12:20.489 I opened up my panels. 01:12:16.619 --> 01:12:20.489 Didn't get around if 01:12:21.179 --> 01:12:23.429 you open your panels and a few chess pieces fall out. 01:12:25.199 --> 01:12:32.670 Oh, I have heard those stories in other universities. I do not play games. 01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:38.220 If I when you let me out. 01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:38.220 It's worth a shot. 01:12:39.930 --> 01:12:42.479 He said he's walking towards us, right? Yep. slowly walking 01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:46.409 towards you. He's probably about 20 feet away. 01:12:47.399 --> 01:12:50.010 Alright, six sits down and starts thinking 01:12:50.550 --> 01:12:54.569 okay. It starts walking towards death. Okay as embodiment of death. 01:12:54.960 --> 01:12:59.850 As you walk forward. 01:12:54.960 --> 01:13:04.649 You're currently Argo is currently between you and death. 01:12:59.850 --> 01:13:10.829 And you can see his hands flicking behind him and the sparks of something fluttering up in his hands behind his back. 01:13:11.519 --> 01:13:29.309 Oh, he can do whatever you want, son. Yeah, that's fine. I just said, as I'm walking towards death, I just say Archie just says, I was in my entire life not knowing if I see my next meal and the next day, it's not

going to change now. I'm not afraid of you. I never was. 01:13:30.539 --> 01:13:47.159 You shouldn't be. I don't know where this thing came from that you should be afraid of death. I am a friend escorting you to the next plane. 01:13:40.319 --> 01:13:47.159 That is all. I don't take life. 01:13:48.449 --> 01:13:54.239 I just asked one life to another form. 01:13:55.680 --> 01:14:00.869 Can I roll an insight and see if I could understand you know what he meant by looking inside myself? 01:14:02.489 --> 01:14:03.659 Yeah, go ahead roll inside. 01:14:06.659 --> 01:14:10.409 nonplussed to know what that means. 514 14 01:14:10.920 --> 01:14:28.590 what you gather from that is, you know, he wasn't talking about escape he was talking about leaving and leaving this place doesn't necessarily have to mean going back to where you came from. It could be to go on to whatever the the next thing is. 01:14:31.649 --> 01:14:42.689 So Resistance is futile. 01:14:31.649 --> 01:14:44.789 We can't escape. There is no point in fighting you I would assume. 01:14:46.409 --> 01:14:50.729 There is never a point in fighting the end. 01:14:52.260 --> 01:15:27.840 And as death says this Argo shouts a spell and he was spreading fingers out in front of them. You can just see this these arcs of playing going towards death as Argo runs at it, and he passes by you Archie and looks back and says I'll hold him back as long as I can escape and find Cantelli but Ganzel find Cantelli and death will raise its arms and grasp. 01:15:29.430 --> 01:15:38.939 With Argo seemingly in some sort of struggle with him as much as you think death might struggle with a living being well, 01:15:39.210 --> 01:15:48.569 it's clear direction I just I take off running in the opposite direction of Archie 01:15:48.630 --> 01:15:58.079 we're not done he just kind of turns around with his hands and his hands up like he didn't know what the fuck is going on? Because it's just endless glass any direction 01:15:58.920 --> 01:16:03.779 and is there a wall that I can see? 01:16:04.289 --> 01:16:10.500 Right it's just endless glass. It's just water reflecting clouds. Yeah, just endless glass. 01:16:10.800 --> 01:16:16.199 Yep, you could you could stay that is a choice that you can make if there is an 01:16:16.199 --> 01:16:19.800 end I'm going to find it thank you for this kindness argue. 01:16:20.670 --> 01:16:23.130 Why are you still talking fucking run? 01:16:23.850 --> 01:16:29.430 I'm saying that as I'm running. Okay. I speak perfectly because I'm not winded. Robot. 01:16:29.579 --> 01:16:33.390 Yeah, well and you don't feel winded? Even if you could in here 01:16:34.739 --> 01:16:49.710 to get I'm trying to figure it out why? Like I'm trying to figure out why Archie would feel like in any way shape or form worried right now because he literally has lived his entire life on borrowed time. So it's like okay, I don't know. I don't know that he would run that. 01:16:49.739 --> 01:16:54.329 I can't do this alone.

01:16:49.739 --> 01:16:55.439 Archie. Come up like 60 feet away at this point. Yeah, 01:16:55.619 --> 01:17:07.619 this is this is entirely a decision to make you could stay and and see what happens and you could try and fight death you can do whatever you want to do. Whatever you want to do. You're gonna bruise 01:17:08.460 --> 01:17:11.250 dude, I'm sorry. I got my character was 01:17:12.239 --> 01:17:14.970 just waiting to see all taters keeps you Okay? 01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:23.310 Wait, how do I just see oh Tanner flings me out of this world I don't want to make it hard but like you know, 01:17:23.909 --> 01:17:27.300 you're not sorry I'm not trying to dissuade you 01:17:30.210 --> 01:17:31.890 Okay, I gotta think for a second 01:17:31.920 --> 01:17:44.670 if I from our first time actually playing when I started DMing and you just completely fucking sacrificing a character because of the primeval that was attached to it. I don't expect you to run from jack shit by dude. 01:17:44.670 --> 01:17:48.300 Okay, cool. Cool. Cool. I just wanna make sure I'm not like screwing No, 01:17:48.329 --> 01:18:13.949 no. Like if you if you feel if if six saying that to you, makes you think makes Archie want to try and escape then that's fine if you want to try and fight that that's fine if you want to just watch the inevitable happen as Argo tries to hold off fucking the universal form of death, then that's fine too. But again, fucking fighting off. 01:18:14.939 --> 01:18:21.600 You said the way you say biting off fucking the worst. 01:18:21.840 --> 01:18:22.170 Like 01:18:24.630 --> 01:18:25.979 he's gonna give it to death. 01:18:27.090 --> 01:18:28.109 Give a death about it. Get 01:18:28.109 --> 01:18:31.979 it all speaking of Sasha Grey. Jesus Christ. 01:18:34.380 --> 01:18:45.149 I'm so bad that I said that name of all names. I was just trying to think of a name I came up with Sasha I was like what goes up Sasha? Oh, great. 01:18:39.810 --> 01:18:45.149 Book be right. 01:18:46.590 --> 01:19:16.199 Okay, yeah, here we go. I got it. I know. He points is he's gonna kind of point his axe out at death and he's just gonna say sweat me whole life running from you. Every day, every second. Not knowing if you were closing my yields are far away by dialing the warmth of a nice home in front of a nice hot or cold goddess or the street. 01:19:11.609 --> 01:19:21.569 Don't run. You're gonna get me you're gonna get me. So so be it. And he turns and he just starts walking away. 01:19:22.170 --> 01:19:43.680 Okay, yeah, you start walking across the waters and you don't look back. You can feel the presence of death and the struggle that another living being or maybe living being is having. But you feel no Chase. 01:19:36.899 --> 01:20:12.539 And you walk in the same direction as six, six as you're running away. You You don't feel any sort of cowardice or anything by doing this. It is the natural course of life to try and escape death to continue living and it will What What are your thoughts like? What? What in your mind? Would you seek? In a place like this? Would you seek refuge? Would you seek some sort of door a portal a gate? 01:20:12.810 --> 01:20:24.840 Would you seek someone who might know something here? There's plenty of people or beings floating beneath the waves. What would you seek here to help you? 01:20:26.760 --> 01:20:47.130 I think I think that he has a pretty one track mind, the only thing on his mind is Cantelli. To tell you something, or somehow in here, he would look at he would just do that, but really what he's searching for, and the way he thinks he's gonna find his way out is he's just going to find the edge of this thing. First through it. 01:20:44.159 --> 01:20:53.039 That's what he's that's what kind of like, the glass is just gonna appear in front of him, he just rams into it. That's why he's running full speed. 01:20:53.310 --> 01:21:13.260 Okay, give me a straight D 20 rule. Nothing added just to D 2013. All right. You continue running and as you have the thought of finding the edge, your foot connects with a step. 01:21:13.710 --> 01:21:33.060 And you find that after a few more steps of your own, you are ascending and is building is before you that really wasn't there before it didn't just appear, it just seems as if it was and now you are climbing the stairs. And now you can take a moment. You can either stop and try and take in what it is or you can continue ascending. 01:21:34.260 --> 01:21:41.369 Stop and look to see if Archie's following me because I haven't you know, felt him running beside me or anything. 01:21:41.520 --> 01:21:46.560 Yeah, as you look back. 01:21:41.520 --> 01:21:55.140 Archie is actually not that far behind. Even though it was quite a few moments for him to make his decision and slowly walk in you were running it at a sprint. 01:21:56.220 --> 01:21:58.979 He's not that far behind at all. 01:21:56.220 --> 01:22:27.060 And in the distance you don't see either the entity of death or professor Argo Malka. So yeah, that's what you see of our gene. As you take in that moment to look back, you turn back in front of you. It's this large white stone building with massive columns holding up the roof up front. It seems to be made of this marble. Everything is polished and smooth. And it doesn't seem to be on any land. 01:22:27.090 --> 01:22:37.050 Nor does it really seem to be floating the waves slowly and gently crash against its sides. 01:22:31.439 --> 01:22:39.479 No sign of erosion. On this thing that seems to probably have been here for a long time. 01:22:39.989 --> 01:22:47.460 The stairs lead up into an open doorway, that it does seem a little dim inside. You really can't tell what's inside though. 01:22:49.289 --> 01:22:58.229 Oh, well. Hey, Archie, I'm very glad you decided to come start walking up the steps. 01:22:58.798 --> 01:23:06.658 Okay. All right. He didn't really say anything. He just kind of shrugs and just as code as he's walking, okay.

01:23:07.649 --> 01:23:44.399 You adjust your coat and follow six up the stairs. And six as you reach the top of the stairs, and your eyes sort of adjust to this, this darker area you can see inside is lit by sconces along the walls, and all over even without going through the doorway in front of you. You can see paintings inside along the walls. And Archie, you end up walking up besides six and you can see the same thing. It seems to be you're on the outside of some sort of gallery. 01:23:47.279 --> 01:23:49.199 What are all the pictures? 01:23:50.880 --> 01:24:04.020 Okay, you go inside and do you look at pictures. There seems to be like these sort of classical style paintings. They depict a great number of things. 01:23:59.250 --> 01:24:35.250 But in this section right at the entrance seems to be the same person or people in each of these paintings, and it seems to kind of trace a lifetime through all of these. It's a winding gallery here and you could follow it back and in the middle. As you trace through these areas, you can see there's a Dyess in the center and in this Dyess there is a closed book underneath a glass dome. 01:24:35.579 --> 01:25:05.579 And all around are just these paintings of this one life. And if you follow them and what seems to be the order from the entrance to towards the back of this building, it seems to trace the life of this man. This this elf as he ages and goes through life experiences and at the end, he dies and you can see in the last painting the shadow of death Reaching out it's hand towards this elf. And that's the last painting in the gallery. 01:25:07.529 --> 01:25:08.849 Was the book have anything written on it? 01:25:09.599 --> 01:25:26.819 There is nothing written on the cover. What is there is just this big circle. So this book is this large, leather bound tome. It's this black leather and in the center is just this large silver circle. 01:25:27.269 --> 01:25:29.399 It's got a glass cover over it 01:25:29.489 --> 01:25:30.420 as a glass cover over. 01:25:31.560 --> 01:25:34.319 Do we recognize the elf in the paintings? 01:25:34.319 --> 01:25:38.130 You have no idea who it is. The glass cover seems like you could just 01:25:40.590 --> 01:25:56.850 say that. Archie walks right up to it. And he basically just got almost with disdain kind of just push it off of being around this book. Yeah, no, no, no care for it at all. 01:25:56.850 --> 01:26:02.699 Like he's his impatience. And his his impatience is beginning to show through, okay. 01:26:03.720 --> 01:26:25.020 You basically take your hand on it, and you feel like it rotates over and sinks back into the Dyess and you see the book there. And then you hear a voice off kind of coming from one of the shadows up nearby. And the voice says I wasn't done with these yet. 01:26:25.920 --> 01:26:26.729 I picked the book up. 01:26:29.250 --> 01:26:36.149 I'm like, you could you could you can flip through the I wasn't done looking at these yet. 01:26:38.250 --> 01:26:41.250 Looking at what, okay, I look for where the voice is coming from. 01:26:42.569 --> 01:27:05.430 You look up in the direction that it's coming from an on top of one of the Decorative columns nearby. You just see a child sitting up there seems to be a human child and common clothing. He has a clean cut black hair. And he's just sitting up there kicking his legs, like children do when they're sitting on a chair that's too tall for them and touches the ground. 01:27:06.269 --> 01:27:07.889 Well, I mean, you weren't done with it yet. 01:27:08.849 --> 01:27:29.158 Well, this is this is the first elf and I just thought this was a cool one. And you know, like I'm I like these of all the ones that I've looked through. I like these the the best so far. I mean, there's tons apparently but these these somehow comfort me a little a bit I think. 01:27:31.890 --> 01:27:32.760 Who are you? 01:27:34.710 --> 01:27:39.300 Oh, I'm, I'm My name is Navarre. Who are you? 01:27:41.159 --> 01:27:42.390 I am six. 01:27:43.979 --> 01:27:47.340 I'm just kind of glancing around the room seeing what I see. 01:27:47.458 --> 01:27:53.788 Yeah. Again, it's just these these paintings depicting apparently the first elves life. 01:27:50.368 --> 01:28:14.819 Like if you trace back from some of it, it's got magical events, it's got all these things happening. A lot of the paintings are filled with these amazing colors. A lot of them are large moments in this person's life. But some of them are just dull and dreary and nothing happening. Some he's reading a book in front of a fire and just, you know, doing benign normal stuff. 01:28:15.750 --> 01:28:18.239 I still don't understand what you mean by you're not done with it? 01:28:18.899 --> 01:28:26.100 Well, if you if you open the book up, and you select the name, you get to see their paintings. 01:28:27.270 --> 01:28:31.949 My name is six. And this is my friend, Archie. I open the book. 01:28:32.519 --> 01:29:04.198 Okay. The child jumps down and lands on the stone floor and says it's nice to meet you. I mean, I've been here for a long time. So yeah, it's up to you can have a turn. That's okay. I'm sorry. For trying to tell you that I can always find the name again. It's fine. You open the book. What do you flip to? You see, this just lists of names upon names. There seems to be no order to them. They're not alphabetical or anything. It's just names. 01:29:04.949 --> 01:29:08.640 Okay. Yeah. All right. 01:29:04.949 --> 01:29:08.640 Yeah. They're just names and 01:29:09.329 --> 01:29:11.010 are you searching for one in particular? 01:29:15.029 --> 01:29:28.079 Well, so Okay, so, I think what Archie probably would do here is he'd probably look for like some of the old people who used to run with okay, then pour it way worse, but we haven't really set that tone. So please do. 01:29:28.319 --> 01:29:29.039 Let's set that tone. 01:29:29.609 --> 01:29:36.630 I think I'm gonna look at Argos name because he went in an interesting

way. Okay. It's gonna make more sense. You 01:29:36.630 --> 01:29:42.029 flip a couple of pages. 01:29:36.630 --> 01:31:38.609 And there you see the name. Most of the names are in black ink on this paper. Argos name is written there in silver. And as you see it, you both here this shifting. It sounds like paper flying across each other. And all these paintings, rearrange the numbers of them The way that the walls were were formatted before with the painting of the Elves, or the paintings of the elf. They kind of seemed to shift against each other. And now you can see back from the entrance, the life of Argo malerkotla, it starts off with him being born in his parents, arms. A few events of him as a child, you know, studying things you can see at a young age, he was very astute as he observed animals and, you know, was a little too brave on a few experiments and hurt himself. As he got older, you can see him going to Castro Haven, the mage college that's on an island nearby, the capital city of Velia. He's getting on a boat, you recognize port waivers to go out to cast your haven. And then a few paintings later back in Castor Haven on a boat, traveling the world and eventually making his way with a few people, you recognize the same people in each painting. So he kind of has this group of friends that he's traveling with. And he makes his way off, exploring and studying things and he gets older. And as he approaches sort of middle age, you can see him in this one person working together in these labs. There's one person that's kind of appeared since since Castor Haven. And then paintings of him meeting the two guards that that were outside and working in the tower right before. Right before the end. 01:31:38.640 --> 01:32:06.029 And unlike the painting of the elf before, the painting at the end of this is this wild mix of paints and colors. It seems to be like you can almost make something out of it very impressionist. But like there's these these forms and figures that it just it doesn't look right. It doesn't look like if there was a painter of these things that they were in their right mind at that moment when they were trying to paint this final one 01:32:06.180 --> 01:32:12.479 got. Is the person who's working with him clearly depicted? Yeah, 01:32:12.510 --> 01:32:14.699 yeah, the person that's working with him is clearly depicted. 01:32:16.739 --> 01:32:17.489 Yes, 01:32:19.439 --> 01:32:22.109 I do. I let I'm waiting. 01:32:19.439 --> 01:32:22.109 I wait for six to make 01:32:22.109 --> 01:32:23.039 us see 01:32:23.969 --> 01:32:38.729 all these paintings. And the child Navarro will say, Hmm, well, this is is a pretty normal one. That into painting is really I've never seen that before. I've looked through a lot of names and I've never seen that one before. 01:32:40.140 --> 01:32:48.119 Your to the pictures of the person he's working with and just look at them. Okay, what do I get from that? 01:32:48.149 --> 01:33:02.609 You don't recognize the other person in this. The only real standout feature here that I will describe to you is a moustache. But I would like for you to describe everything else. 01:33:05.279 --> 01:33:06.750 What did we say I was 01:33:07.770 --> 01:33:09.659 my ELF you can be whatever you want to be. 01:33:10.020 --> 01:33:12.479 Okay. So well do you 01:33:12.479 --> 01:33:14.130 want that? Do you want the mustache? 01:33:14.819 --> 01:33:35.909 Oh, yeah. Okay, the mustache is great. Okay, let's let's keep the mustache so it's a it's a very dorky looking dude with glasses. But he does have a nice like, straight up. Bert mustache going on. Oh, Burt Reynolds mustache going on. It looks I mean, it's not quite what's on his face right now. 01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:59.369 But he's about six foot something six foot one. Just normal looking dude, very skinny, very pale. And just a just a overall dork, disheveled hair. Like a darkish, brown colored, disheveled hair going on there and just kind of like has that. absent minded Professor look. 01:33:59.880 --> 01:34:10.109 Okay. As you take in this image of this person here, it's these weird synapses begin firing in your brain unit. 01:34:10.710 --> 01:34:14.130 That's these are you human, by the way, here's a human okay. 01:34:14.338 --> 01:34:30.328 There are these sparks of recognition, these these things these something in you is trying to tell you something, some some emotion, some feeling. 01:34:23.998 --> 01:34:48.269 You, you know, you know this person, you know you. You saw them a lot. You know, you saw them? Maybe every day, you know, maybe maybe you knew them. Maybe you knew someone that that didn't know them. Maybe you saw them all the time in the mirror. 01:34:44.368 --> 01:35:12.538 Maybe it is. Maybe it's your reflection, maybe. Maybe this is you. And all these things are flooding your mind and then the cacophony have voices that spoke to you before sing out again. 01:35:01.469 --> 01:35:25.618 And this time Archie, you can also hear them and they say seek truth above all else so you can kind of express what you what you feel they don't say anything else. 01:35:26.488 --> 01:35:30.809 I've certainly learned a lot about myself today. Can I see that book? 01:35:32.010 --> 01:35:36.149 Sure, friend, Archie hands it passes it off to him. 01:35:37.229 --> 01:35:41.279 I look for Archibald Theodore Cromwell. 01:35:41.489 --> 01:36:28.199 All right, you flip a couple pages. And they're in silver is Archibald Theodore Cromwell. And as you look at the name, the walls once again kind of begin to shift to to best display these paintings. You hear the fluttering of paper against each other and all the paintings rearranged to show the life of Archie. You can see his childhood in the slums of Portway worth some incidents of him running into the law as he got older, finding a group of people that he seemingly became close to and the incidences that have led him to here. Would you like to describe a couple of couple

of paintings? 01:36:29.009 --> 01:37:45.208 Yeah, okay. And so first and foremost, when he flips to Archie's name, and Archie recognizes the events of his life. He pays no attention to the paintings, purposely avoiding them. And he'll say to six, feel free to get a good look. I know what happened in my past, I don't need to see it again. So the big you'll see two defining moments. One is the beginning of what appears to be a very large scale mansion heist, between him and his fellow street gang members. You will see that it appears to go swimmingly. And then you will see in another painting, Archie, surrounded by guardsmen, and the following one, you'll see him in jail. And the following one, you'll see all the members of his gang murdered, brutally slaughtered, and then you will see a betrayer who is speaking with the men who had handcuffs, the painting with the betrayer in it Archie's gonna walk up to and he's going to try to he's just going to try to lift it. 01:37:47.310 --> 01:38:14.399 Okay. As you walk up to a painting, Navarro says, I wouldn't mess with them. I don't know how the gallery really works. But it just seems to be kind of not the greatest. Well, I don't know how to do it, this might be cool. So you walk up to the painting, and you attempt to lift it. 01:38:15.059 --> 01:38:32.668 While he's doing that his six had a pretty specific reason for doing this. He he walks over to later in the life obviously, before we got here, and wants to see if he sees himself in there, and what he is depicted at is in these pictures. 01:38:33.029 --> 01:39:02.010 Oh, you can see the the ladder points. Once again, you can see the last image and it is just this messed up form of color and mashed together. It's like, you know, some messed up finger painting or deal that someone's just haphazardly spread across the paper. But you can see the moment that he met you in a couple of paintings from your travels and where you fought the Greeks. A lot of 01:39:02.100 --> 01:39:05.340 but it's six it's not it is his old form. 01:39:05.399 --> 01:39:06.899 It is okay it is not as old form. 01:39:06.930 --> 01:39:24.989 I was just I was curious about that. But also curious about Archie's life. So well, Archie's doing that. You just here's, I guess six is kind of reflecting on all this. And Hmm, I guess this truly is me now. 01:39:27.060 --> 01:39:59.970 Basically, and the other thing is for our readers, it seems like the paintings with the paintings in the slums are very, they're very dark and kind of tragic. And then there's one particular member of the gang that is in every single painting. The like when the gang is present, this person is much more detailed than other members of the gang showing some kind of importance like a very good strong friendship in. That person's details are also the most explicit in the paintings. 01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:50.220 of the deaths of this of those gang members. So it's clearly there's clearly some kind of relationship to this person there. And the image of the person who is interacting with the guardsman or the other the people who, quote unquote, you know, cause Archie to get caught cause this all to happen seems like almost devilish, like, like, you can tell that Archie, like, you can tell from the painting that there is the utter there's the highest amount of loathing for this person, okay, there is no like there is no potential for recompense it is it is that like you can feel it from the painting. 01:40:50.369 --> 01:41:14.550 Yeah, there's there's this aura around this this person it's not it's not this sort of tangible way of painting it but like it is this sort of, you know, the, the way that it's done whoever the artist is, has made some sort of emphasis on there that just makes it this this man is the focus of this and it is not kind the the brushstrokes that are made to paint him. Yeah. 01:41:15.000 --> 01:41:29.609 So now that Well, now that I've looked at that one painting to see what I wanted to see, I come back and start looking at the rest of it. And as he's walking up to that painting, I'll ask Archie, so who is that 01:41:30.479 --> 01:41:32.159 this is the bad painting the one was 01:41:32.159 --> 01:41:34.770 clearly like when you were going to take off the wall and stuff. 01:41:36.300 --> 01:42:09.029 Okay, so it kind of walks by he's not not in a rude way like he's not trying to brush you off or anything. He's just focused. And we all know that Archie Archie can be quick to act but generally he's pretty a pretty calm person as far as that goes. But you definitely know he is not calm looking at this painting. Like it's almost like his entire body is shaking with it with just pure you've seen him rage This is put this pales in comparison to his rage and battle pales in comparison to the his rage currently. 01:42:09.960 --> 01:42:11.369 Just describe this painting for me. 01:42:13.470 --> 01:42:50.550 So it's, I guess we'll say it so it's like an Archie in cuffs on his kind of like, on his knees in front of like a panel of what appear to be Guardsmen. And then the person is also in this area where the Guardsmen are and he's kind of pointing at Archie. And it's like just a devilish grin on his face, like, just under betrayal like he just betrayed betrayed is nothing but betrayal. And in the picture, Archie's portrait is very dejected. So it's like he's not he's, he's, you tell us like the lowest point in his life, basically. 01:42:50.579 --> 01:42:53.850 And are you like in a, in a jailhouse courtroom? 01:42:54.059 --> 01:43:05.219 Like just yeah, like a courtroom, okay. And it's immediately succeeding the picture of all the other gang members who appear to be dead in some way, shape, or form. Okay. 01:43:05.878 --> 01:43:13.738 Now, I was gonna say So success is that question, Archie takes the picture off the wall, and he kind of stares at it 01:43:14.130 --> 01:43:31.350 as you so you go to you go to reach, and you put your hands on either side of the the pretty plain wooden picture frame, and you try to pull it off the wall. It does offer some resistance. Do you still just try and yank it off? 01:43:32.010 --> 01:43:34.500 Yeah, I mean, it's just kind of nice. Yeah. Okay. 01:43:35.369 --> 01:43:45.569 As you as you pull, you put some effort into it. And you hear Navarre from behind, say, never taken a painting off disk. 01:43:46.770 --> 01:44:01.380 I mean, it's just a painting, right. And as soon as he says that you hear. And it's the backing of this painting, tearing off the wall from whatever hook it was on. But then the tear kind of continues. 01:43:56.609 --> 01:45:21.720 It's like this. This allowed tear that emanates outward from the painting, and you can see this crack begin to form behind where it was on the wall. And the paints in this particular scene start to sort of glow and the tear of this becomes deafening. And then light pours from the crack and colored spills from the painting as the paints turn into water and liquid and this multicolored paint flies towards you and engulfs all of you here as it fills the room and then you no longer hear this crack. And now this as your as the color dissipates. The two of you find yourselves in the gallery of a courtroom, Archie, you immediately recognize the surroundings. You know the room, you know the people in it, you know I have the judge that is standing at the head of this trial. And the thing that strikes you the most is you know the person who is currently standing trial. And you know, the judgment that's about to be passed upon them. Because the person standing there is you and you're about to be convicted of murder.
