The Final Rules: Order and Chaos | Hellburbia (S3E2)

WEBVTT
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:15.599
Long ago, in a distant land, far beyond the reaches of common sense, a band of merry adventurers are Well, they're doing something, that's for sure.
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.440
But it'll be all mystical and shit.
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.519
Welcome to the Final Rule.
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:20.000
I am Timothy Underwood, treasurer of Arcadian Renaissance Theater Creatives, and I cannot tell y'all how excited I am to be doing this again.
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:33.120
I am joined, of course, by some of the best improvisers I've ever met in my entire life, and a group of people that are, I think, going to make this the best season of the final rule that we could even think of.
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.439
Um, so uh we are going to go through and just sort of introduce ourselves very quickly.
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.120
We'll go in order of this overlay.
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:40.879
So I consider that my intro.
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:47.359
So we're just gonna go down and then we are going to loop around like a like a little square bracket there to Zach after Logan.
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:48.959
Sound good?
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.480
So, Brendan, you're gonna start us all.
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.159
Oh, actually, let's I didn't know if I was gonna start.
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.560
Yeah, Brendan, go ahead and start and we'll end on Justin.
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:56.640
Okay.
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:58.799
Um I'm Brendan.
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:00.079
You're welcome.
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.359
Uh I was really hoping someone else would go first because I don't know what to say.
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.439
I was here for the first two seasons.
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.080
Uh get ready.
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:16.479
I don't know what I'm gonna play, but I clicked on my character sheet right before we started, and I'm I'm just glad I'm not a Kenku.
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.759
Yeah, that is true, even though I do think that Arrowhorn was one of my favorite characters from that season.
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.039
Uh, you it did put you in a an interesting spot though.
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:25.759
Yeah.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:27.199
All right, Vincent.
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.039
Hi, I'm Vincent Bianca.
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.159
I congratulate Brendan on his freedom to now use full vocabulary.
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:34.960
Amazing.
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.840
I remain ignorant of my character until the time comes.
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:39.680
I can't wait for it.
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:41.120
Amazing.
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:41.439
Thank you.
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:42.479
We're glad to have you here.
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:44.000
Hey Logan, how's it going?
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:45.520
Hi, my name is Logan.
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:46.159
I'm feeling great.
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:47.199
Thanks for having me, Tim.
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.360
Um, my strengths as a player are being inventive and otherwise decisive in action.
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.520
My weaknesses are general teamwork and leaving space open for play.
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:03.439
So amazing, Logan.
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:11.599
Legitimately, I I can't tell you if I would really want you in my party or if I really want you in Justin's party, because I think both are going to be a good thing.
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:13.680
Oh, I want Layman in my party.
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.439
Oh, come on, bring him over.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:16.080
Bring him over.
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.080
All right, I want the chaos.
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:19.680
Hey Zach, how's it going, man?
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.960
Uh, and everyone, just to make it very clear, this is Zach Denley.
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.240
He is going to be a permanent player with us uh for the rest of the season.
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:32.479
Uh, just wasn't uh brought on board until just after we had recorded session zero, but uh yeah, Zach.
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.360
Hi, uh I'm Zach Denley.
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.680
Uh I work in retail.
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:39.840
Good, brother.
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.680
You're spectacular.
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.000
And you play DD.
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.199
And I play DD.
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.719
I've played DD for a few years, and I did some improv in my day, you know.
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.919
You know, we we uh we make some some some goofs, some bits, some laughs, some gaffs here and there.
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:55.599
And look where it got you.
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.439
And look where it got me.
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:58.639
Hey Sophia.
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.599
Right here Hey everybody.
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.599
Um, my name is Sophia Brazda.
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.599
I am new to Discord, new to DD, but a frequent flyer to mayhem.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.800
Um, this should just be a ton of fun.
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.159
Um I I I can't imagine it wouldn't be.
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:15.439
Okay, great.
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.199
Um, I think that's all I got.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:18.720
Absolutely.
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:20.319
Super excited!
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:21.279
It's gonna be great.
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:21.920
Mr.
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:22.560
Bernard.
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:23.839
Oh my god, it's me.
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.639
Hello, I am Chase Bernard, uh, the president of the Arcadian Renaissance Theatre Creatives.
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:34.240
And uh my last meal would be 15 sticks of beef jerky and an orange Julius.
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:36.480
Is that actually true?
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.040
Not entirely, but the orange Julius for sure.
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:40.160
I do miss those drinks.
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:40.959
Not entirely.
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.040
I hope that was a bit of a it felt authentic.
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.319
I'm feeling some drama from this other corner of the screen here.
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:48.800
Y'all see this?
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:50.639
Ooh, I see something.
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.240
Yeah, there's there's something really imposing happening down there.
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:55.360
Who is that?
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:56.240
Who is that?
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.079
It's the back of Justin's head.
00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.040
Hey, hold on.
00:04:59.120 --> 00:04:59.759
Well, hello.
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:05.199
I'm Justin Hayflick, and I'm gonna be the co-dungeon master with uh Mr.
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.720
Timothy Underwood.
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:08.000
I'm excited to be here.
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:18.800
I was a player the first couple seasons, and um am excited to uh dig into the uh dungeon master side of fully improvised.
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:29.120
Um been dungeon mastering for a long time, so uh you know I've definitely had my fair share of fully improvised sessions, but a fully improvised campaign?
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:30.000
A little bit dead.
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.160
Hey, I'm I'm down.
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:42.879
Hey, well, Justin, again, I I I am very much looking forward to being able to actually like watch your sessions as they go live and like listen to the podcast of it.
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:52.319
Because uh again, it's we I I know that we have different styles whenever it comes to DMing, but I think that we both are going to like really drive the campaigns in really cool and interesting directions.
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:58.720
And before that end, uh thank you everyone, seriously, for uh being here and being a part of this.
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.720
I think this is going to be a phenomenal season.
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:06.000
But we have to take a moment and actually tell the people who are watching what it is that we're doing, right?
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:14.319
So this is technically speaking, season three of the final rule, a completely improvised Dungeons and Dragons podcast.
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.319
The first season was recorded in 2000, what, 18?
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:19.040
17?
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:20.160
Somewhere around that?
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:20.959
Something like that.
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:21.600
18.
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:22.560
Uh, whenever 18.
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:24.480
I know Chase and I were still in comedy.
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:25.519
Yeah.
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.680
Some oh yeah, I guess it was 2019, huh?
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:28.879
Because we tried to revive it.
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.519
We had uh half of a second season.
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.079
We f we finished the first full season, which I love.
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.759
I that I think that was a great time.
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.800
It definitely laid the bedrock rock of like the passion that's kept us going through here, I think.
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:50.240
But uh, we had a uh false start at a second season that was only ever streamed, I think like twice, and then was wiped from the face of history, I guess.
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:55.199
And then we had a second attempt at season two where we got a pretty good chunk of the way into the story.
00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:01.680
But then unfortunately, uh I think a lot of us found us in places where carving out the time was a little bit more difficult.
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:16.879
But uh now we have entered uh a new phase of not just ourselves as people, but the final rule, namely being we are now the final rules, two, in fact, simultaneously occurring uh improvised two final rules.
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:17.680
Two final rules.
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.040
Yeah, so uh at the end point at the end of this campaign at some point, we will be splitting into our two parties.
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.519
From that point forward, there will be two live streams a month, one with the A Party and one with the B party.
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:34.319
Both of them are considered canon and do happen at the same time as the other party, uh their adventure.
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.480
So I think it's going to be really cool.
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:45.040
I think that legitimately, like everyone here has such good chemistry with everyone else that no matter what the parties end up being, it's going to be a really, really fun time.
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:50.240
So everyone who is watching We should really be calling one of them the penultimate rule.
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:56.000
Sophia, you're not allowed to like look at my I want to claim it.
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:56.800
Oh, sorry.
00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:58.959
Justin's claiming it.
00:07:59.120 --> 00:07:59.519
Yeah, he is.
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:00.000
Okay, fine.
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:00.800
You know what, Justin?
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.240
You can you can take that one for sure.
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.360
Uh I'll I'll think of something snazzier in the meantime.
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:12.800
Uh, but uh now that we kind of have that out of the way, uh, we are also uh in the nature of being completely improvised.
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:17.519
Uh we are going to occasionally be taking suggestions from our Discord uh server.
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:18.639
We have a little channel in there.
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:19.519
It's called the Bucket.
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:27.519
We have the opportunity for our dedicated Twitch and chat bot to pull suggestions from there in order for us to uh improvise around them.
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:34.799
And we also have a couple of cool little systems of ways to do that in a bit more in-depth and during crucial moments with our fake coin system.
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.399
Uh and Chase, since you set that up, you want to describe that for us a little bit?
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:39.039
Yes.
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:48.240
Alright, so uh the way the suggestions work is i bot our fun little Discord bot that I just act as as acts as one of a the beholder eyes.
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:53.519
Uh he has a database that people can put suggestions into this bucket channel.
00:08:53.679 --> 00:09:07.440
So when we need a suggestion, we can pull a suggestion from there, and bada bing bada boom, we'll see who put a suggestion in there, and we use that to uh basically uh at the start of the campaign give us a suggestion to go off of.
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.120
Because again, this is fully improvised.
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:10.879
We need something to springboard off of.
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.559
Now, the fake coin system works very similarly.
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:21.919
Let's say someone donates to us out out of the kindness of their heart, and they donate to us, let's say, three dollars.
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:23.200
Wow, that's amazing.
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.000
Well, guess what?
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.159
If you donate to us three dollars, you get a uh give us a fake coin.
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:29.519
Now what does that do for us?
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:36.080
Well, you see, as players, sometimes we get really shitty, terrible rolls, and we can't do anything about it.
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:44.879
But if we have a fake coin in the pool, any one of us as players can go, you know what, I'm gonna use one of those fake coins and I'm gonna re-roll that roll.
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:45.840
And that's great.
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.320
Basically works as uh inspiration, right?
00:09:49.039 --> 00:10:05.440
Except now that we've used a fake coin, the either the DM or if a note has been left on that donation with a suggestion, that suggestion will help fuel a uh basically what what will happen once that fake coin is used.
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:11.200
So there could be a negative consequence toward the player or something crazy could happen, basically almost like wild magic.
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.600
So even though we get a chance for this.
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.960
Yeah, tempting fate has consequences, you know?
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:18.240
It does.
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:23.519
So if anyone wants to give us a fake coin, go to that little Zell QR code over there.
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.039
Don us, donate us some don't just throw three dollars our way.
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:35.840
Yeah, and uh, and this uh this podcast, this show is produced by a nonprofit theater organization, and that is where your donation will be going.
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.000
So make sure you keep your uh receipts of it as well.
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.159
We will be doing all of our like announcements of donations that you need in order to write it off.
00:10:42.320 --> 00:11:00.879
Uh, but again, you're you're paying for us to be able to do this cooler and more often and be able to pay all of our uh all of our performers like you know, this is going directly back to all of us who are doing this in order to make sure that uh all of our labor is being adequately compensated, you know.
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.559
That's what we're all about here, right?
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.039
All right, absolutely, right, right, right, yeah, yeah.
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:18.320
No, you're all supposed to say yes, yes, yes, I am all about organization, no one's committing fraud, it's all very clean.
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.279
On the up and up books are all exactly.
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:23.600
We are books are so clean.
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:35.279
Uh so prior to this session, we had a uh a session zero that we did not live stream, but is up on all the major podcasting platforms, uh, as well as an RSS feed on the RC website.
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.840
Um, that is sort of uh our basis of what we're doing now, right?
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.440
During that session, we kind of caught up with each other as people, as well as rolling random stats, right?
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:55.039
So all you really had influence over was that you got to re-roll one of those stats if it wasn't quite to your liking, but otherwise completely uh just completely improvise those stats, right?
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.399
Roll them on the spot, random.
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.200
We love that.
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:09.440
But in the meantime, between then and now, Justin and I have gone through and rolled on the various tables for everything from uh your ancestry to your class.
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:19.679
Uh, and I would and the players uh up to this point, I will say most of them have not seen their character sheets whatsoever, but they all do have a link to them.
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:27.279
Uh, I would love to invite everyone to go ahead and just pop that bad boy open right now and let's let's see how you how you feel about the party.
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:28.879
Oh my god.
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:30.720
I'm absolutely terrified.
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:31.519
I feel guilty.
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.519
I thought we were doing this right as we started the live stream.
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.080
I've been looking at this for like no way.
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.759
Oh, my God.
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.840
I I don't want to I don't want to say anything because again, but but oh man, okay again.
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.879
I think I think that like as Justin and I were doing it, we were like, There ain't no way, man.
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.480
This is the goofiest party that's ever existed.
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.159
Man, why are you doing this?
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.559
Oh my god.
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:04.480
Okay, so so again, let's let's go through just one more time and talk about what you're seeing on that character sheet, huh?
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.919
Uh let's start with Chase, yeah.
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:09.200
Oh, okay.
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.320
What who are you playing?
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.159
So I am playing a Furbog monk.
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:16.240
That's so great.
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.320
It's that just sounds really fantastic.
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:19.360
So absolutely.
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:20.960
Like a semi-giant.
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:22.159
How are you looking?
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:23.200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.960
Um, I don't want to mispronounce anything, I don't want to offend anybody.
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:28.240
I'm a yuntai.
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:30.159
Yuan T.
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:31.679
Yan Yanti.
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:35.120
Um I'm a Yan T warlock.
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:37.440
So uh that's cool.
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.600
If you don't know, uh just so you know, that is a snake person.
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.399
Uh Yuan T in particular are very much like z snake zealots.
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:47.519
Uh it's kind of okay.
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.799
I've been accused of that in the past, so that's actually perfect.
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:53.600
This is awesome.
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.200
And I have a plus subclass that sounds like mariner-y.
00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.080
That's pretty cool.
00:13:58.399 --> 00:13:58.960
That's what I'm saying.
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.320
Uh how are you feeling about yours, Zach?
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:10.159
Uh I am playing a Fierna tiefling who is um he's found the wrong calling in life.
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:19.519
He he should be a strong armor, like a strong man at a circus somewhere, and uh that doesn't seem to be sort of what his his desires have really led him to.
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:26.799
Um so you know, we'll see how we can make his his life work for him, you know, just on a strange path right now.
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.679
Uh I mean we haven't even gotten started yet.
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:30.159
That's crazy.
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:31.840
We haven't even gotten started.
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:34.000
Hey Logan, how are you?
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.360
I think I think out of all of them, I laughed the hardest whenever Logan said.
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:42.000
Yeah, Logan's Logan's was the best and worst at the same time.
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.440
This is so much like I'm a dog.
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:50.000
Like you're not what he is a kobold, to be very clear.
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.440
I'm not maybe I'm gonna be making stuff.
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.000
I'm gonna be box of scraps, Tony Stark in a cave.
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:56.639
Oh my god.
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.279
Yeah, so Logan is playing a kobold artificer.
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.600
If you didn't pick up on that, that's so great.
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.120
Is he literally a dog?
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:08.159
He's uh cobalt are best described, I think, as like just kind of little dudes, yeah.
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:09.679
Kind of like just dudes, yeah.
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:14.639
They were changed to like dragon-like creatures, but original kobolds were dogs.
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.600
Oh, I mean this is so cool.
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:19.360
Okay, perfect.
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.240
Amazing.
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:21.919
Hey hey Vincent, how are you?
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.360
Uh how are you looking on your third four fourth character, technically, third character?
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.919
And they've all been so different from each other that I'm really glad.
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.639
Uh I'm a lizard folk artificer.
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:32.960
Not artificer, sorry, that's on my mind.
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.399
Lizard Folk Ranger.
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.240
A Lizard Folk Ranger, yeah, yeah.
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:38.480
That's a cool combination there, I think.
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.039
Yeah, it's almost like a min-max build, actually.
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.399
Uh, if you're really going for it.
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:45.200
Got real lust.
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.720
Everyone knows that improv and crunchy numbers go hand in hand.
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:49.600
So absolutely.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:50.399
That's true.
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:50.879
That's true.
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:52.960
How about you, Brendan?
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:59.519
Uh, you mentioned already you are uh, at least in our private call, you were glad that you were not a Kenku again.
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:00.399
Yeah.
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:07.279
I'm I Justin knows that I prefer prefer like human-looking things and nothing anthropomorphic.
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.960
So yeah, I saw I was I was intrigued.
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.919
I think I'm I'm a Tabaxi rogue, so you know, kind of staying on theme.
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.799
It's not yeah, I'm like a little cat burglar.
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.240
I don't know what my deal's gonna be, but uh it could have been worse.
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.559
And my stats are not bad.
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:26.399
I'm I'm pretty middle of the road.
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.000
I'm min-maxing being straight up middling.
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.159
I'm right right in the middle of everything.
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:33.120
I love it.
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:35.039
I mid-maxing, yeah, yeah.
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.000
Mid maxing, yeah, yeah.
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:48.159
So uh uh so honestly, surprisingly, none of you guys got your main attribute being whatever your dump stat was.
00:16:48.320 --> 00:17:04.079
Now, most of you guys didn't really have like terrible stats when we rolled them, but somehow you guys got like a decent score for most of your guys' uh main stats, which was wild, absolutely insane when we were rolling them.
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:05.359
We're like, how's this happening?
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:12.000
Can we not have a can we not have Sophia be a rogue with her four dexterity, please?
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:16.240
And yeah, well, and I remember too, like during the actual character grade and Sophia.
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.519
Yeah, exactly.
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:24.400
Uh I wanted Chris to be so high that when you rolled the four for the dexterity, I think.
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:26.400
We were like, okay, go off or whatever.
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:29.440
Yeah, uh because it builds character, Tim.
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:30.079
It really does.
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:31.279
Exactly.
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:36.079
Also, I don't really truly know what a dexterity means, so I'm sure it's not that important.
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:37.119
We'll get there.
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:38.559
Oh, oh no.
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.400
I think it's yeah, yeah.
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:42.880
Okay.
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:52.160
Um also, uh, for you guys and anyone watching, um, you guys will see uh your skills are left blank.
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.000
And that is because um we're gonna improvise that.
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:02.880
We didn't roll any of that, so your uh your skill points, your background features, any of your background information.
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:04.480
We don't even know that.
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:21.279
Uh so that's all gonna be improvise, as well as you guys will all have uh three in my bag tokens to where you guys can just pull something out of your bag that uh would be somewhat relevant to the backstory that you guys have concocted or added adds to it.
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:26.799
Um so uh give you guys a few tools to throw me and Tim off.
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:27.759
Absolutely.
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:33.440
Uh tried to do our best to leave the blank spaces where we could so that we all have a good opportunity to fill in as we go, you know?
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:35.200
Love it.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:39.599
I think that's uh it how how's everyone feeling?
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.680
Are y'all are y'all ready to do some improvising?
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:43.359
So ready.
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:44.079
Totally.
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:46.160
I'm glad I don't know.
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:50.640
I feel like I've done uh the introduction to these final rules enough.
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:55.200
Justin, since you are going to be DM with me, I'm going to hand off that responsibility to you.
00:18:55.519 --> 00:19:04.640
Uh everyone else, if you would be so kind, uh go ahead and lend your attention to Justin Hayflick, the dungeon master of the final rules.
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:08.079
Alright.
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:14.799
So um let's see here.
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:20.799
Let's open up with you.
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.240
Uh you find yourself in a metro park.
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:31.599
Um first let's get a little description of uh what they see.
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.759
What what what is it that uh your character does in the park?
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:44.880
Alright, so you I'm I'm sitting at a bench, you know, feeding feeding some local uh clockwork birds.
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:50.559
Throwing throwing some like throwing some little pebbles their way as they eat them up, gobble gobble.
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:57.039
Uh I'm a I'm a rather uh tall individual because as a fur bog I am part giant.
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:01.839
So I I kind of uh take up a decent amount on this bench.
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:09.599
Uh you can see kind of my bluish-gray skin standing out against the brown of the bench.
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:13.359
Uh what are those birds look like?
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:15.200
They're so they're these clockwork birds.
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.119
So they've got little uh they've got little um what is it called?
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.319
The wind-up things on their backs, and they kind of jitter around.
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:33.039
And they'll and they'll and they'll kind of bite down on the pebbles, but then um every so often they'll stop and I'll go down and I'll turn I'll turn it a few a few turns and then it'll keep going again.
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:45.920
Yeah, so um, so you're kind of sitting here um as you see um uh a familiar face walk up to you, um Logan.
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:52.319
Oh yeah.
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.279
So first off, nice bench.
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.920
Uh mind if I take a seat?
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:00.799
Yeah, please don't scare the birds away again.
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:05.200
Hey, no problem, and I'm gonna sit down, I'm just gonna lounge nice and bad.
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:06.079
Okay, okay.
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:09.200
You're taking up too much of the Okay, alright, great.
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:10.880
And it's amazing too.
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:23.279
Like, I am like struggling to keep stay on this bench as you know, could you like give me a little more space?
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:24.160
You know, just a little bit more.
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:25.119
Oh yeah, sure, buddy.
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:30.400
I'm gonna I'm gonna scoot even closer, get nice and close to my good friend over here.
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:35.279
Stay calm, stay very, very calm.
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.240
Zen, remember Zen.
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:51.119
Uh you see as one of the clockwork uh birds uh kind of just hop up uh in on the bench just there between both uh both of your guys' characters as it goes.
00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:01.440
I'm gonna reach down, grab this bird, and I'm gonna take out the Little key that's on the back.
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:02.000
Wait.
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:03.119
Oh no, don't.
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:09.440
This thing starts uh flapping uh just uh like pretty crazy.
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:14.720
Uh roll me a quick um dexterity check to keep a hold of this bird.
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:17.759
Oh yeah, that's a that's a four.
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:18.960
That's a four.
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:51.119
As you go to reach for it, this thing whacks you in the face, it just runs straight up your face as you uh as you fall off of the bench, as it kind of and um as that uh that all happens, um Vincent and Brendan, you guys um you guys uh are over um probably about uh on the other side of some bushes.
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:56.079
Um what is it that you two are uh would be doing?
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:58.480
You have you're meeting two other friends here.
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:04.079
Um what is it that you guys are meeting and what is it you guys are doing in here?
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:09.200
I think I'm carving I'm I'm I'm carving some stuff in the bushes.
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:15.279
I'm just I'm carving up like I'm I'm I'm like I I got I'm I'm like I'm kinda turning it into some kind of art.
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.920
I'm like cutting off the bark on it, making like shapes in it.
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.519
Simple stuff right now, like talking like triangles, maybe a little square.
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.759
But I'm just I'm just messing it up.
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:25.519
Maybe maybe some getting some topiary.
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:28.799
Maybe I'm practicing on the public park, stuff making some like shapes out of the bushes.
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.319
Yeah, what what brought you here?
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:36.480
You know, a ranger's a little bit a little bit far from their uh usual the usual stomping grounds, huh?
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.680
You know, I I I think the bushes here replenish more often.
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:49.039
I think whoever like is in charge of public parks in the public park uh sees that someone keeps messing up these bushes and then like replaces them.
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.759
And in the in the wilderness, you have to go and keep I'm carving so many bushes.
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:58.960
I the ones that they don't replace as fast as they do in like a metropolitan area.
00:23:59.279 --> 00:23:59.920
Right, right.
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.359
They just don't have the the the taxpayer money's going somewhere else, I guess.
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:03.599
Yeah.
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:11.759
Yeah, no, totally uh yeah, so you're just carving up the the you're just carving them up, huh?
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:12.400
Yeah.
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:17.519
I'm on the lookout for anyone that would stop him from carving up the the bushes.
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:20.960
I'm I'm not a single watching for anyone that might implement.
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:36.640
Yeah, uh so um you guys uh uh are I think uh your guys' al friends kind of show up, Sophia and Zach.
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:39.920
You were you were you followed?
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:44.480
You know they're having like city council meetings about this, right?
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:45.519
Yeah, we know.
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:46.880
We got the we got the newsletter.
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:48.960
That's why we asked if you were followed.
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:56.079
I didn't I was worried that the council maybe wouldn't know we were doing this today, so I did let them know ahead of time.
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:57.839
Then you were coming here?
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.400
Well, yeah, I mean it's like it's important.
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:01.920
Oh we gotta go.
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:02.720
Yeah, I know.
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:03.759
I can't be busted.
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:04.799
I can't be here.
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:08.240
I think I really misunderstood what we were doing today.
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:10.480
We were secretly meeting.
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:13.839
Oh it was called a secret meeting.
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:14.960
Oh my gosh.
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:17.279
That's what the agenda said about the bushes.
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:24.079
I thought it was I thought it was like secrete, like secretion meeting.
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:26.799
Oh syrups and saps.
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:34.160
Yes, because of the syrups and saps conversations we've been having are really why would it be about that?
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:35.519
The bushes.
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:36.480
Bushes.
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:40.559
The syrups and saps are important for the bushes.
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:41.359
Okay.
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:43.839
That's you got that right.
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:49.359
Thank you for I'll just send like a quick message.
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:54.000
I'll say never mind, forget about the secret meeting to the council.
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:55.680
It'll clear everything up.
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:06.160
Uh and I I'm just I'm gonna grab one of the little birds and I'm gonna like stick a little like like letter thing, just like wrap around and just set it off free.
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:08.799
Was it the one that had the key taken out of it?
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:09.759
Absolutely.
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:12.000
I just hope it gets to where it needs to go.
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:29.359
I like to imagine the like clockwork bird just kind of like flapped its way over to like basically like right at uh Sophia's feet and just like got a note tied to it and like go and like let go, and it just like fell down and started like spinning on the ground, emitting sparks and stuff.
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.799
That's just his process.
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:31.519
He'll get there.
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:32.480
Don't worry.
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:35.519
I'm clenching my fist looking at these birds.
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:38.799
I don't like nature so fucked up.
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:40.319
It's disgusting.
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:43.119
Well, I guess that's a that's actually a a good uh point.
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.119
You know, what this city, right?
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.720
We're establishing pretty early on here that this is a modern analog.
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.079
I think uh early on I kind of put that idea into everyone's head.
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:58.640
Uh this, however, is a city that is unlike the ones that we have in our world, needless to say.
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:01.839
Very different ways that the universe works here.
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:10.559
Uh so so uh Chase, I feel like you've been in you're you're in touch, right, a little bit more with like the ongoings of the city, right?
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:12.640
You feel sort of the life of it a little bit deeper.
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:17.759
So tell me a little bit more about your experience with this city.
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:20.960
Well, so this city's pretty interesting.
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:28.799
We uh so my day-to-day, of course, I like to go to the park and deal with the clockwork, uh the clockwork pigeons and birds that come around.
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:38.400
But of course, there's a lot of different clockwork animals that have sort of been placed here, almost as if the nature was taken out and then put right back in.
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:47.440
Um You know, I I like I like that it's supplemented, you know, even though this city is hustling and bustling, at least there's some a analog to nature here.
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:52.400
Uh but of course I'm here with uh this guy.
00:27:53.119 --> 00:28:08.000
Um and you know, we we you know we we you know we don't we don't have really many other connections here, so we kind of you know hang out together because it's uh I think because we truly don't want to be alone, but we won't tell each other that.
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:10.720
Uh that's like Burton Ernie.
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:11.279
God damn.
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:20.240
Uh but uh so we you know we we take on the town, you know, we take the uh the the local bullet train uh that goes that goes through the city.
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:32.079
Um different kind of spiraling skyscrapers touch the clouds and um just kind of make this city feel so claustrophobic yet so alive.
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:39.039
Um this park is one of the few places that feels a little more open than what the city normally provides.
00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:43.440
Uh so and here's this and here's this guy over here tearing up the bushes.
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.759
They they just don't get real art.
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:49.279
They don't get it.
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:51.279
I think it looks really good.
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:52.400
Thank you.
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:57.039
Do you see that that guy over there uh messing with the bushes?
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:01.200
Oh god, that's disgusting.
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:03.039
Exactly my point.
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:04.000
Exactly my point.
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:05.119
Um You know what I mean?
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.039
Taxes over those bushes?
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:12.880
Uh not a well uh I think it's a lot.
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:18.720
I think that I I'm being robbed and this guy's messing with the bushes that I'm paying for?
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:21.519
You don't pay taxes.
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:24.319
Yeah, oh shit.
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:25.680
I I think someone sees us.
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:28.640
I don't think you I don't think you've ever paid taxes.
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.960
Oh, bad thing with this thing.
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:35.200
Just because I'm unhomed doesn't mean that I can't care for these bushes.
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:37.680
That's a fair you know what?
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:39.519
I overstepped my I overstepped my bounds.
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:39.839
That's right.
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:41.759
I don't care if you're unhomed.
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:43.279
That doesn't matter.
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:45.200
I think that's ungood.
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:50.240
Um Pardon us! Just ignore us.
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:52.880
You never saw this, pal.
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:54.880
You didn't see us in the bush.
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.279
Yeah, you can ignore us, but don't ignore the bush.
00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:58.640
It looks so much better now.
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:00.720
Alright, they're gonna be thanking me.
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:05.519
Again, they put out.
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:07.279
I don't think they're gonna be thanking anyone.
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:15.119
At that exact moment, uh a group of enforcers from the city council are taking a nice little stroll through the through the park.
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:16.480
Oh shit.
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:16.960
Hey!
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:19.119
It's not a super meeting anymore.
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:20.720
They're messing with it!
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:22.799
Yeah, they're messing with the bushes over there.
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:32.559
Bale, bail both both of the council members look at both Chase and Logan and see the general state of these two individuals and just continue to walk.
00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:38.079
See, guys, we're like the least interesting thing going on in the park today.
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:39.440
It's really okay.
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.319
Well, uh Well, Typhus, I guess we gotta take care of this.
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:45.200
Zach.
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:56.559
Um you actually see one of the guards slip a note into the back of the uh large Verbog's pants.
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.000
I think I just saw one of the enforcers grab that Verbog's ass.
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:08.480
You know what, Typhus?
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:11.839
Typhus, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go give them a piece of my mind.
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:14.079
They shouldn't be messing with this nice park.
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:17.119
Oh Virgil, don't start, don't start.
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:17.599
Come on.
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:20.240
Typhus, don't Virgil me, alright?
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.680
I'm I'm gonna start like beelining over to this these bushes.
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.759
I'm I'm starting to get a little heated, but I'm I'm trying to keep my cool.
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:33.519
Hey Hello! Uh hell hello?
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:34.559
Doesn't matter.
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:35.200
Alright, look.
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:35.599
What?
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:39.680
Those bushes were specifically put there by the city, alright?
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:47.759
They were made to look nice the way the city intended, and you are just going around here messing with their bushes, and I you know what I don't appreciate it.
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:49.440
I don't see your name on them, Buster.
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:54.960
You see, um, I'm one of the temps for the council, okay?
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:59.359
And um, it's very important to the beautification committee, okay?
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:04.559
Because the beautification committee doesn't have the funds currently that they need to actually make the bushes beautiful.
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:13.759
So it's actually really important that groups of really like, you know, motivated civil servants get out in the park and just rip bush.
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:15.759
Well, I'm gonna walk up.
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:19.839
I'm part of the temporarily unhoused committee and I see bushes.
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:21.039
Typhus, don't say that.
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:25.200
Typhus, don't say Okay, well I'm I'm sick of all this nonsense.
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:27.039
Stop stop messing with the bushes.
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:27.839
We sleep here.
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.960
If you're homeless, then why don't you just live with your friend?
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:35.119
Oh, like he has a house?
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:42.559
Yeah, I I have a I have a perfectly nice house somewhere in this city, and I I hope that you know that it is very nice.
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.240
Once we find it, we're gonna give you a piece of his mind.
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:48.880
Uh sure.
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:54.160
Are you gonna go find it and then come back and give us a piece of your mind?
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:58.000
Yeah, so why aren't you staying with him if you know he is a nice house?
00:32:58.160 --> 00:32:59.680
Not even just a house, but a nice one.
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:05.039
We lost no, we didn't lose.
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:08.400
I don't know about him, but I lost.
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:14.880
I don't care about you being unhoused at all.
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:16.640
It's a but that's not my beef with you.
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:19.759
My beef with you is that you don't like the art that's happening right here.
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:26.160
The council doesn't know what it takes to make good art, so here we are making the park actually beautiful.
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:27.599
He's an artist.
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:30.000
What this rival art, dude.
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:33.680
Well, I think artists as me, but he is an artist.
00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:39.759
I didn't, I you know, I I I'm sorry, I've I overstepped my No, I overstepped my bounds.
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:43.279
What you're drawing a still life in a bush?
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:44.559
Yeah.
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:46.640
What's this look?
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:53.119
You guys maybe aren't um artiste like we.
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:59.680
I consider this friend group sort of a um multi-movement physical theater collective.
00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:00.240
Okay.
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.640
What what is what are those collection of words?
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:05.359
Yes.
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:12.800
We um we're sort of um how do we say what's the thing we always say as a group, guys?
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:13.440
Oh.
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:16.320
We can't make rent this month.
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:18.480
We can't make rent this month.
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:19.760
We can't make art this month.
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:20.719
That's what we always say.
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:22.880
They always say that, it's true.
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:23.760
Yeah, yeah.
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:25.360
I've heard that before, I think.
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:28.480
Oh, the good the enforcers are swinging back around, by the way.
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:34.320
Noticing that uh the furbog has completely ignored their subtle attempt at communication.
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:42.639
I'm gonna grab the bird that's still on the ground and just chuck it full force at the back of the head of one of the enforcers and go, baby, go get it now.
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:50.159
Have it been known that I did not notice the note was in my pocket.
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:54.559
Uh okay, well shit, man.
00:34:54.719 --> 00:35:06.960
The the that bird like dinks off of the poor guardsman's uh little uh uh we'll call it some sort of like composite weave, like almost like a chain coif, but like more like a heavelar material, right?
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:19.920
Uh and that uh that guard like it bounces off and like for a moment it almost appears as though he just doesn't like comprehend what just happened.
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:27.280
Like there's a there's a buffer time between the bird physically striking this individual and them turning to see where it came from.
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:33.760
What do y'all do in that that short period of stun lock that you've got this enforcer in?
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:37.519
Oh shit, a bird just flew into that guy.
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:39.440
They did it.
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:48.719
I'm gonna stand up, cut my hands, and go, don't worry, it's just a note that says we're not doing anything we're not supposed to do.
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:57.760
Uh the guards person underneath one very heavily clad boot crushes the bird as he starts to make his way towards y'all.
00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:58.960
Oh shit.
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:00.800
I'm in a book, I'm in a full sprint.
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:01.599
I'm booking it.
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:03.199
Yeah, I'm with I'm with Brandon.
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:11.039
Well, you know what they say when people are running, the six-foot-tall devil should probably run too.
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:11.599
Bye.
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:15.599
I join, but my movements are very intentional.
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:16.880
Yeah.
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:17.280
Oh.
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.079
Looks like the bush is ours.
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:24.320
Uh great.
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:27.440
You two, you're under arrest.
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:28.079
Halt.
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:35.199
What uh listen, uh, I we are not associated with those um art theater collective people.
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:36.320
Oh, don't you worry.
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:39.280
We're gonna get them next, says another one of the enforcers.
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:46.559
Uh, and you can see in the distance that um a uh what what's a what's a cantrip that can like mark somebody?
00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:47.440
Like fairy fire?
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:52.880
Like a bunch of fairy fire has lit up every single one of the people in this party, like just to keep track of them while they run away.
00:36:53.039 --> 00:37:01.039
Like outlining them in a nice, like little bright uh like flashing like police sirens almost just like around them so everyone knows to stay clear.
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:02.320
Hey, we are lighting.
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:05.840
It's lighting design, guys.
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:14.719
Uh the guards very, very roughly uh pick up, I would say, probably Typhus.
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:18.960
Uh typhus rather rough uh hold.
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:21.199
Very well.
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:24.239
I submit to your free housing plan.
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:27.519
No, no, Typhus, that's not what this is.
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:31.519
Yes, take us into the holding cell for a cozy evening.
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:46.960
Uh the uh the warforge that was hit in the head with his with the the the duck that's holding you up uh turns, you will be put under arrest and taken into a holding cell for questioning.
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.079
And low, you are.
00:37:53.039 --> 00:38:02.559
At the very least, whenever it comes to to Typhus and Virgil, uh y'all I feel like they're led away without much of a I don't know if you can mount much of a resistance, to be honest with you.
00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:08.239
I look at that Warforge and I go, Yeah, exactly, exactly.
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:15.280
And then the needless to say, the rest of the enforcement squad has been dispatched to go get all of the uh the runners, if you will.
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:22.159
The first the first one sort of, I think, roughly, would probably go towards uh let's see.
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.760
I would say out of everyone, they're probably least scared of Brendan.
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:26.639
That's the same thing.
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:28.079
So they're gonna go after you first.
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:29.199
Yes, correct.
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:29.840
Yeah.
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:34.079
These are in fact uh analogs, so yes, correct.
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.239
Do you uh do any of y'all like mount any significant resistance?
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:42.719
RO that's like, okay, well I guess.
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:44.719
I know my rights.
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:46.320
What's what's the crime?
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:47.679
What did I do?
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:50.559
Topiary destruction.
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:59.440
Topiary destruction detected against council directorate mandate one four three four I filed this morning at noon.
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:02.960
This is topiary construction, if anything.
00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:10.800
Then describe this, and then the warforge picks up like a tiny branch that had been like trimmed off and crushes it in its hand.
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:13.679
Do you know what topiary is?
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:15.760
It doesn't grow into that shape.
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:34.480
The like the the Warforge next to that officer that was saying that turns to him, you are currently being detained uh for against code 14345, destruction of Topieri.
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:37.119
Damn it to the They really got me.
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:39.119
Let us all go to jail together.
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:40.800
It's not lawbreaking.
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:50.000
So I really don't think it's lawbreaking if you inform the law ahead of time that you're going to be breaking it.
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:56.480
Uh the Warforge who is not currently being uh detained turns around and tases you.
00:39:58.719 --> 00:39:59.920
Yeah, yow, yeah, yow.
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:01.840
Ow, it's got by you.
00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:06.239
Now the rest of you go along.
00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:08.400
Oh my gosh.
00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:12.559
You you drew the new perfume.
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:15.360
So true.
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:18.559
Uh we're gonna go and just flash forward to that holding cell.
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:19.679
Uh fair enough.
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:25.679
Logan, I feel like you have the best outlook on what this holding cell could be.
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:27.920
Describe to me this holding cell.
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:29.360
Oh, yeah.
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:37.360
I mean, you got the hole where you do your business, you got the two bunks, and you got some chains hanging down everywhere.
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:41.440
Those chains are for the especially naughty boys and girls like myself.
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:44.000
I found myself chained to the wall.
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:46.320
Somehow, everyone else gets to walk around.
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:47.679
What the hell's that about?
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:50.800
Typhus is chained to the wall.
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:54.000
Typhus, I I hate you.
00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:59.039
At this point, the rest of the party gets led into this cell as well.
00:40:59.280 --> 00:40:59.599
Yeah.
00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:02.079
Okay, it's the game of beds.
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:04.400
All six of you, two beds.
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:06.639
It's our dressing room.
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:14.159
It most certainly is a comfortable dressing room considering that they're packing all six of us in here.
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:17.920
Can we remember the biggest performance yet?
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:19.280
Our court date.
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:24.880
Can we believe it's a guard?
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:27.519
I could pretty easily believe it.
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:45.519
Uh it's worth noting too that this sort of like holding area is patrolled constantly by not just Warforged, but also various automatons uh resembling uh watch dogs and uh like ravens that are sitting up in the higher uh areas, keeping an eye on everyone.
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:48.320
For all intents and purposes, this is a panopticon setup.
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:53.519
You never know who is watching you, but you can assume at all times you are being watched.
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:56.400
This feels kind of like an overreaction.
00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:59.280
We're well, I don't even know what we were accused of.
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:00.320
That's not true.
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:02.079
They told me what I was accused of.
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:12.000
I don't know what I came out of the bathroom and two of my roommates had been arrested, so I just decided to go along because I'm not good on my own.
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.920
So y'all y'all are not only an artist collective, but you're also roommates.
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:18.559
That makes sense.
00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:19.360
That's true to life.
00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:19.760
Yeah, yeah.
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:21.599
That's all that's we followed.
00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:24.000
We followed the letter of the law to a T.
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:25.519
And I mean that hyperliterally.
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:29.679
I wrote the law a letter and I checked up the law's head.
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:31.519
I'm just confused.
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:35.039
Do they not want people to partake in the agora?
00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:38.880
Or my brain hurts.
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:48.960
If I can't pay my taxes, let me at least contribute in some way that that that will still contribute and fake help with society.
00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:53.119
My taxes aren't gonna pay for the topiary, so I'll just make it myself.
00:42:53.599 --> 00:43:04.400
Friend, perhaps if we made some quick topiary in the cell, they will see the sort of creative output that we're capable of, and they'll let us go.
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.440
There's good luck.
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:08.239
Guards.
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:11.199
Some toilet paper and some shit.
00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:12.719
Guards.
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:17.039
I'm trapped in here with five psychopaths.
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:17.440
Please.
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:18.400
Please let me out there.
00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:19.519
Three hours pass.
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:20.400
No.
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:26.320
Look, I just want to say I'm really sorry about the dishes issue last week.
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:28.320
I feel like you were upset.
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:29.679
We didn't get too much.
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:30.800
I'm not upset.
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:33.760
It's just I'm tired of it always being me.
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:36.559
You're just so good at the dishes, though.
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:38.719
So good at the dishes.
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:41.039
I'm more of a soaker myself.
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:46.320
Because you get heat resistance, I can turn the water on really hot, and it doesn't even bother me a little.
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:48.639
It really is so good.
00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:51.840
I prefer taking a bath with other dishes.
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:57.360
I am on the floor, absolutely like trying to escape the hell that I'm in.
00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:59.760
Do you guys want to hear that new song I've been working on?
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:02.400
Oh yes, please.
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:03.760
Absolutely.
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:04.480
Yep.
00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:09.440
Green bushes look like shit.
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:12.400
Make them into a new shape.
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:14.239
Now that's it.
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:17.119
And that's all I got so far.
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:19.920
Good start.
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:20.719
Incredible.
00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:21.440
Absolutely.
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:23.360
That's a solid foundation there.
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:25.280
I think I've done my time.
00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:27.280
Please.
00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:30.480
You have three more hours.
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:33.119
Six hours.
00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:33.920
Wait, hold on.
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:34.400
Wait.
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.079
Wait, our I'm just gonna be here for a few hours.
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:41.679
Are we am I just out after that, or is there something coming after that?
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:42.960
Is this our sentence?
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:45.119
The Warforge just walks away.
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:46.639
Does not answer your question.
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:48.079
You just have three more hours.
00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:50.000
Alright, maybe three more hours.
00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:52.559
Also, and I'm I'm also gonna get up in a second.
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:53.039
I'm gonna go.
00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:57.119
Typhus, also, I like undo the latches on his armbands.
00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:58.320
They're not locked.
00:44:58.559 --> 00:44:59.760
What the hell, man?
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:00.400
Ah.
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:06.000
By the way, has anybody tried the door?
00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:10.639
Unfortunately locked.
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:15.119
They are crafty.
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:16.559
My god.
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:18.880
The final three hours pass.
00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:36.000
Uh and for the first time you hear a voice that isn't metallic in the same way that the reconstructive vocal cords of Warforge managed to imitate, you know, the organic uh vocal processes of most of you know people around.
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:41.360
Uh this sounds like a like a like a living, breathing person who's starting to come through the door.
00:45:41.519 --> 00:45:44.719
Uh in just general, like by the mannerisms and the footsteps.
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:49.360
It seems like someone is finally coming after your nine hours are up.
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:55.360
Places, everyone, places.
00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:00.079
I'm innocent, so um, I I should have received a lawyer hours ago.
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:02.320
But I'm glad you're finally here.
00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:04.159
I'm with Arnold in this one.
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:05.039
I need my lawyer.
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:06.400
I hit an innocent card.
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:21.840
Uh you guys uh see a uh a large orc um with this uh this orange skin, uh pale skin.
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:39.280
He's wearing this uh pinstriped suit uh with this really nice um uh tie with this uh it's it looks to be a black tie, but as as you kind of look at it and he walks underneath the lights, you can see there's like this intricate pattern, you can't tell what it is.
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:50.159
Maybe it's uh maybe it's just like a little guy running, but um, but you you can't really tell as it's just kind of like this uh this little bit of a shiny outline on it.
00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:58.480
But he he steps in um and uh Vincent and Brendan, you guys recognize him as Mr.
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:00.960
Gruyer from the Billboards.
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:03.119
Mr.
00:47:03.280 --> 00:47:03.840
Gruyer.
00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:05.199
Mr.
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:05.679
Who?
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:06.559
Not from the Pimper.
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:06.880
Mr.
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:10.639
Gruyer! You haven't seen his billboards all around town?
00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:12.559
He's everywhere.
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:16.559
I mean I'm it's rare that I look up.
00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:18.639
I have that vertebrae issue.
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:19.599
Mr.
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:26.480
Gruyer, he he's he's he's he's he's what one of the best just uh the best odds.
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:29.599
Now, all you folks sitting there in that cell.
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:31.519
I hope it's been a cozy time.
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:33.679
But as you know, when Mr.
00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:37.760
Groyer arrives on the scene, go ahead, you get to say my catchphrase.
00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:38.320
When Mr.
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:43.119
Groyer arrives on the scene That's when you know the floor is clean.
00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:46.000
That's when you know the floor is clean.
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:49.519
And right now I see a bunch of shit on my floor.
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:53.280
Oh, that's you, by the way.
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:58.000
Oh, uh it was very funny, sir.
00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:02.880
Um, my name is Sylvia with six S's.
00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:05.119
I'm I'm I'm six ten.
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:15.119
And um uh something that fun about me is uh when I first moved to the city, um I got a job uh as a as a street mime.
00:48:18.559 --> 00:48:19.199
Wow.
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:20.960
You know who else did that?
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:23.440
The rest of the pieces of shit in this jail.
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:24.880
Come on, we got a here and negotiated.
00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:27.199
Okay.
00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:30.000
Classic Gruyere.
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:31.119
Oh man.
00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:33.199
What a ball buster.
00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:35.119
He's such a ball buster.
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:38.639
Uh have you guys watched his TV show?
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:40.880
I've just seen his commercials.
00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:44.559
Oh, wait, is that the one where he ball busts criminals?
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:47.679
Yeah, that's Gruyere's ball busting.
00:48:48.159 --> 00:48:49.920
I must not watch a lot of television.
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:51.840
I listen to the podcast version.
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:54.639
It's mostly just a bunch of grunts and screams.
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:59.599
You're really missing out when you when you lose that video medium.
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:13.199
But y'all are led to a uh a pretty actually somehow smaller than the cell, but just like four walls and a floor and a roof that are all completely pitch black.
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:22.400
And three chairs with one of the uh mechanical birds sitting on a perch staring at the three chairs.
00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:26.320
These idiots didn't leave enough chairs.
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:29.440
I think that was an accident.
00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:31.199
Let him know, let him know we'll need more.
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:33.199
I'll go forward and sit down on one of them.
00:49:33.360 --> 00:49:34.800
I this is ridiculous.
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:38.159
I I'm gonna this is a whole Michael.
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:39.760
I'll just sit next to you.
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:40.800
Thank you, Arnold.
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:42.960
This whole charade.
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:44.400
I'm tired of it.
00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:51.679
Uh out for just a moment.
00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:54.719
I'm I think he's getting his tools.
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:57.840
I'm gonna walk over to the bird and I'm gonna go.
00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:00.800
I I think there's been some kind of mistake.
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:02.880
Uh me and um that that fairly.
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:06.320
What what?
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:09.599
Where is she?
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:11.280
Where's she?
00:50:11.840 --> 00:50:14.400
Uh you mean you mean her?
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:21.039
At that exact moment, the door slams open and you see uh Groyer lead in.
00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:28.079
The hardest like the stare that this woman gives is enough to like probably shake mountains.
00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:29.199
Uh there's a lot of things.
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:30.239
Without a doubt, Mr.
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:40.159
Groyer like flashes y'all a smile uh and a knowing look of you're about to have the roughest interrogation of your lives if this is not the only one.
00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:41.440
So uh be ready.
00:50:41.599 --> 00:50:48.159
That is it's a lot to encapsulate in one look, but he he somehow manages to do it and he also smirks at the same time.
00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:49.360
It's kind of infuriating.
00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:55.920
But then he he he le he leaves and leaves you in the presence of this unshakeable looking woman.
00:50:56.400 --> 00:50:59.199
God, his internal monologue is so legible.
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:03.360
That's how he got the TV show, I think.
00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:03.920
I don't know.
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:04.239
Mr.
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:05.199
Guerriera's it.
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:09.280
This is the woman to which he was speaking?
00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:12.559
Uh uh she's right here.
00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:22.079
Uh she's actually the look that uh she had given you guys um uh felt imposing, took up the entire doorway.
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:32.639
But as the door shuts, um you can see in this she looks away from you, uh, the uh the look and just the imposing presence kind of shrinks a little bit.
00:51:33.199 --> 00:51:47.519
Um as you see, like it's you guys all realize and kind of shake is this is a um an older gnomish uh lady uh standing about three and a half feet tall.
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:57.199
Um with uh she's got these uh this um uh police uniform on.
00:51:57.360 --> 00:52:11.039
She's got her her blues all done up right, she's got these uh these white pads with the frills kind of uh hanging from the shoulders, and uh her hair is it could not be pulled any tighter back.
00:52:11.679 --> 00:52:19.920
She's like you just can s it just looks like any of her hails hair could just like start popping from her uh hairline.
00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:30.880
Um and uh as she walks in, um please take a seat.
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:33.920
Already sitting down.
00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:36.079
Yeah, there's only three chairs though.
00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:36.800
Yeah, I'm gonna go.
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:39.760
If that's okay, I'm going to mime the chair.
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.400
And I sort of squat in a chair position.
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:44.480
I'm eight feet tall.
00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:49.039
I don't sit in a lot of chairs very easily, so I'll I'll just stand, that's alright.
00:52:51.440 --> 00:52:54.320
Yes, um, on the floor is fine.
00:52:54.639 --> 00:53:02.880
Um you're all in a lot of trouble.
00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:04.880
You'll realize that.
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:08.400
I don't believe a word you tell me.
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:13.360
You see, art comes from a place of danger, and one cannot exist about the other.
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:16.639
I'm not with these four crazy people, alright?
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:20.400
It's me and that less crazy You missy.
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:24.000
Definitely in a lot of trouble.
00:53:24.320 --> 00:53:30.079
Um looks uh directly at you, Arnold.
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:37.920
Um Where is it?
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:40.960
It happened a long time ago and I don't want to talk about it.
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:42.400
I don't have it anymore.
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:50.320
Well I know you are planning to take it back.
00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:52.559
Just today.
00:53:55.039 --> 00:53:56.239
You have no proof.
00:53:58.320 --> 00:53:59.280
You can't lock me up.
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:01.199
You can't lock me up like this and the evidence.
00:54:01.599 --> 00:54:11.199
Um whole message and letter from Miss Sylvia um saying, hey, we're having our secret meeting.
00:54:11.599 --> 00:54:14.239
We're having our secret meeting behind the bush.
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:15.360
Don't worry.
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:18.480
We're breaking all of the appropriate laws.
00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:21.760
Uh hugs and kisses Sylvie, yeah.
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:23.519
Second hold up in court.
00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:29.280
That's that's uh email about a secret meeting about all the sap that comes out of the bushes, dude.
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:30.880
Yeah, it's a printed email.
00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:35.679
Roll most of the hugs and kisses, and it doesn't feel like that's being reciprocated.
00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:36.880
No, thank you.
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:37.599
Good point.
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:40.239
Arnold, roll me a deception check.
00:54:41.039 --> 00:54:42.480
Ooh, first roll.
00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:46.960
My uh, this isn't the first time I've lied to uh an important figure.
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:50.079
This is probably something I'm I'm proficient in.
00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:52.719
No, this would be one of the yeah, yeah.
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:53.840
Yeah, yeah.
00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:59.199
Go ahead and make sure you add your proficiency modifier and check that box on your uh on your character sheet.
00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:00.079
Yep.
00:55:01.360 --> 00:55:03.679
And take that down of the skills.
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:05.920
Let me modify you, PDF.
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:07.679
It's not very good.
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:09.920
I'm not as proficient as I recall.
00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:11.039
Seven.
00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:13.039
Oh no.
00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:16.639
What doesn't hold up in court?
00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:22.079
She signed it, and she also signed all of your names as well.
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:23.840
Uh certainly not my name.
00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:27.519
There are actually fingerprints from all of you right at the bottom, too.
00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:37.440
It really looks like Sylvia like scoured the apartment in order to like really make sure that y'all's signatures, your artistic signatures tied to you were on this message.
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:39.440
I wanted it to be accurate.
00:55:41.199 --> 00:55:46.320
Virgil, as you put your finger up like this, she plays she presses the piece of paper against your finger.
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:51.519
Wait, no, that's just welcome to the collective.
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:53.599
I don't want to be a part of the collective.
00:55:57.679 --> 00:55:58.880
Welcome to the collective side.
00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:12.079
I came into the group for uh the low rent, and now I'm uh going back to jail.
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:16.000
So sorry you got roped into this.
00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:19.039
Uh Sylvia goes, I mean not Sylvia, sorry.
00:56:19.119 --> 00:56:25.920
The um the officer goes ahead and uh gets fingerprints from uh you as well, Typhus, while she's at it.
00:56:26.159 --> 00:56:29.599
Woohoo! Yeah, I love being part of something.
00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:31.199
Typhus, no, don't celebrate.
00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:32.719
Yeah.
00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:38.400
Thank you so much for your compliance, uh, young Typhus.
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:40.800
I we really appreciate it.
00:56:41.119 --> 00:56:46.960
Um so let's talk the artifact.
00:56:47.920 --> 00:57:00.639
Um of course, um young Arnold has a little bit of a history in it, but um I mean it seems he tied the rest of you guys in to it as well.
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:02.559
Um no?
00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:17.280
No, there was no tying me in this or Typhon Luckily there's a five for one deal going on right now at the courtroom, and uh I can't wait in order for all of you to see those savings.
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:21.440
That's what you mean one of us is fine?
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:24.320
Are we gonna do like Survivor style?
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:25.599
One of us gets out free?
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:27.840
Wait, yeah, five to one- there's six in here.
00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:32.159
Well, six would be too much stress on the taxpayers.
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:34.800
We can't let all of you go to jail for free.
00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:36.400
That's incredibly thoughtful.
00:57:36.639 --> 00:57:38.400
Oh, so they just get tried alone anyway.
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:38.880
Oh no.
00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:49.039
I'm going to jail.
00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:54.559
I am curious, perhaps, if you could speak more to this artifact thing.
00:57:54.960 --> 00:58:01.760
Um I don't think she knows like anything I know.
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:05.840
Do you guys remember the security deposit I deposit I put down?
00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:06.559
Yeah.
00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:13.760
Sorry, I didn't hear you, Brendan.
00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:14.480
What'd you say?
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:18.800
I said the the security deposit I put down, that's how I got the money.
00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:20.400
I sold it.
00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:22.000
For the artifact.
00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:22.880
To that guy.
00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:26.000
And I pointed at Virgil.
00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:31.199
No, no, that did not happen.
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:32.000
That did not happen.
00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:33.920
There is no proof that any of that happened.
00:58:34.079 --> 00:58:36.000
Oh, Virgil, you should have told me, man.
00:58:36.159 --> 00:58:37.199
We were celebrated.
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:38.880
I just know it's not true.
00:58:39.119 --> 00:58:40.239
You called the deal.
00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:41.760
Hell yeah, dude.
00:58:42.079 --> 00:58:44.880
Uh I remember he pressured him into it.
00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:46.960
Miss Mayflower looks at you.
00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:51.679
Trying to play innocent, are we?
00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:58.000
As she goes and like uh taps on your shin uh with this little baton she's got.
00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:00.320
Trying to play innocent.
00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:05.199
You know, you know what we do with liars, don't you?
00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:06.559
Like that guy?
00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:07.039
I don't know.
00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:08.800
Probably throwing the break.
00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:12.000
Virgil, hold him down.
00:59:12.239 --> 00:59:13.440
Virgil, hold him down.
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:16.320
What wait, I hold him down?
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:18.800
No, typhus! Sorry.
00:59:19.280 --> 00:59:20.400
I'll hold him down, hold him down.
00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:23.519
No, don't typhon crawls up.
00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:26.320
Uh I don't know.
00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:28.800
Okay, realistically, this should be a strength channel.
00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:29.360
Oh my god.
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:30.000
Yeah, no.
00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:35.440
Yeah, that might be a strength contest because typhus is so much smaller than that.
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:42.320
Typhus, uh, Virgil, uh, Virgil against Typhus and Miss Mayflower.
00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:44.639
Yeah, that's a three.
00:59:47.280 --> 00:59:47.599
Oof.
00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:52.719
That well, I I had a crit I had a I had a Nat 1, so oh yeah.
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:56.400
Well she'll just mess with five.
00:59:57.280 --> 00:59:59.119
Wow, we really all fumbled.
00:59:59.280 --> 00:59:59.440
Okay.
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.960
Um so so they both jump on you.
01:00:03.039 --> 01:00:23.840
Uh, I mean, I don't know if you've ever been jumped on by little kids like unexpectedly, but it it happens, and like even with your large form, they both take you down, and she puts her finger like all the way in her uh in her mouth, just knuckle deep, and gives you the wettest Willie you've ever had in your life.
01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:29.039
This is what we do with liars! This is what we do with liars.
01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:30.239
Tell the truth!
01:00:30.480 --> 01:00:31.920
What'd you do with the artifact?
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:33.519
Eat shit liar.
01:00:33.840 --> 01:00:38.880
I don't know! I don't my god! I don't have the artifact! I don't have it, I don't have it!
01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:40.639
What did you do with the artifact?
01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:45.679
Tell me now! I don't I don't I don't I buried it!
01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:49.440
Uh roll me a deception check.
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:51.519
I'm just trying to say whatever.
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:53.519
Uh let's see, deception.
01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:53.920
Okay.
01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:56.880
Uh thirteen.
01:00:57.519 --> 01:00:58.239
Thirteen.
01:00:58.400 --> 01:00:58.719
Okay.
01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:02.480
You buried it.
01:01:03.119 --> 01:01:03.519
Where?
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:08.960
Uh uh I under the uh the old bridge.
01:01:10.480 --> 01:01:12.400
You made me divulge my secrets.
01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:15.119
The old bridge.
01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:20.159
Oh, that's a dangerous area.
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:25.280
Well very dangerous.
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:26.559
That's why I buried it.
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:27.920
There.
01:01:28.239 --> 01:01:28.719
Yes.
01:01:29.119 --> 01:01:30.000
Of course.
01:01:30.639 --> 01:01:43.920
Well that is unfortunate because our clockwork agents don't have the um we don't have the radius to uh patrol there.
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:46.559
Well you can't.
01:01:46.719 --> 01:01:47.440
That's such a shame.
01:01:47.519 --> 01:01:49.760
I guess you'll just let us go, right?
01:01:50.800 --> 01:01:53.360
Yes, yes, I'll of course let you go.
01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:59.599
And we'll give you twenty-four hours to bring the artifact back.
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:00.960
What?
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:09.519
Bring back the artifact within twenty-four hours, or it is all of your heads.
01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:14.320
It will be a six for one! One execution, six heads.
01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:15.840
Oh, awesome.
01:02:16.239 --> 01:02:16.719
Typho.
01:02:17.840 --> 01:02:19.920
To be fair, that's like that's really good.
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:21.360
Like, uh, that's efficient.
01:02:21.599 --> 01:02:25.840
Yeah, that axe would have to be like the size of a minivan.
01:02:26.559 --> 01:02:28.079
I have an audition at seven.
01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:30.159
Do you think I'm gonna be able to swing that?
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:32.639
I was just about to bring up the audition at seven.
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:37.039
Um, and and at callbacks when we take into account those, which we'll likely get, right?
01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:38.719
I mean Almost certainly.
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:39.920
Almost certainly.
01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:42.000
There's very few actors in the city.
01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:43.840
Um you both are very talented.
01:02:43.920 --> 01:02:45.199
I don't see why they would pass on you.
01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:47.280
Yeah, you guys have to practicing really hard.
01:02:47.679 --> 01:02:48.400
Thank you, thank you.
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:50.079
This is your support is so needed.
01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:51.119
It really does.
01:02:51.199 --> 01:02:53.440
We we've been working ahead.
01:02:55.760 --> 01:02:59.760
You will be assigned, let's call them babysitters.
01:02:59.840 --> 01:03:02.320
Uh maybe just one looking at all of you.
01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:08.800
Uh, and the wall behind y'all slides like down or just like almost becomes intangible, it seems, in a moment.
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:17.760
And uh there is a single giant, gigantic warforged clockwork enforcer hiding behind that wall.
01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:28.320
It takes one quick scan, a sweeping scan of all of you, identities confirmed, entering, surveillance, and then it just sits.
01:03:28.559 --> 01:03:30.880
Oh is that necessary though?
01:03:31.039 --> 01:03:32.559
Is that really necessary?
01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:37.039
You can't get that far outside of the city in 24 hours.
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:40.079
Like I said, it we don't have the radius.
01:03:40.159 --> 01:03:44.559
This guy has self-powered, so um, he needs to be big.
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:47.039
It's quite intimidating though, yes?
01:03:47.199 --> 01:03:52.400
As she puts like gives one more wet willy to uh Virgil and then jumps off.
01:03:53.599 --> 01:03:55.039
Why again?
01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:02.480
23 hours and 50 minutes remaining.
01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:04.239
Wait, you already started the timer?
01:04:07.599 --> 01:04:08.719
It's already been 10 minutes.
01:04:09.519 --> 01:04:12.159
Uh you may get your things on your way out.
01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:16.639
Uh and she walks out, leaving the door wide open.
01:04:16.800 --> 01:04:17.920
No sign of uh Mr.
01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:19.199
Groyer either.
01:04:19.360 --> 01:04:21.440
Just feel free to walk out.
01:04:22.480 --> 01:04:24.960
Alright, well, good luck with your trip, guys.
01:04:26.320 --> 01:04:28.400
Wait, uh no.
01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:33.920
Yep, good luck with your trip, guys, because we're getting out of here.
01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:35.280
Yeah, well that is rich.
01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:40.239
Yeah, you shouldn't get embroiled in a and then try to dip out, too.
01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:43.679
You're gonna hide the artifacts and then try to blame us.
01:04:44.079 --> 01:04:47.280
The thing about a collective is we do everything as a collective.
01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:52.239
Activates it very quickly, like with very sharp movements.
01:04:53.199 --> 01:05:09.599
Targets leaving ex allotted range for surveillance, entering lethal mode, and then like like uh as it starts to like just beef up even more, and like you start to see like panels and stuff sliding on like its general metal chassis.
01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:11.039
Where's all this coming from?
01:05:11.199 --> 01:05:12.639
Never mind, I'm staying right here.
01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:14.000
I'm staying right here.
01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:18.239
What does this guy do if we like just run two opposite directions?
01:05:19.280 --> 01:05:20.480
Oh let's try.
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:27.920
You haven't seen these models before?
01:05:28.239 --> 01:05:32.159
No, 24 hours and 40 minutes.
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:32.719
Okay.
01:05:33.039 --> 01:05:35.679
Oh, we got an extra 40 minutes, guys.
01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:36.800
23.
01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:38.639
Wait, did I fuck that I fuck that up before?
01:05:40.559 --> 01:05:45.840
I'm trying to get you to go using him.
01:05:47.280 --> 01:05:49.599
Let's just swing by the apartment real quick.
01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:53.679
We'll see if the artifact is maybe in one of the drawers over there.
01:05:53.840 --> 01:05:55.599
Maybe we get lucky.
01:05:56.320 --> 01:05:58.880
I can't believe you didn't inform us about the artifact.
01:05:58.960 --> 01:05:59.679
We would have helped.
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:02.880
Or cataloged it mentally.
01:06:03.199 --> 01:06:04.400
I sold it.
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:07.199
I sold it before I moved in.
01:06:07.440 --> 01:06:09.119
That that was the security deposit.
01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:09.920
Yeah, without the arm.
01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:13.280
I just always thought you had a rich grandma.
01:06:13.519 --> 01:06:18.639
No, you guys I have a rich grandma and grandpa and mother and father.
01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:21.920
I'm going to go siblings there too.
01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:23.199
You know, they're doing well for themselves.
01:06:23.599 --> 01:06:25.599
Like 11 wealthy siblings.
01:06:29.280 --> 01:06:31.280
I would like to choke out Arnold right now.
01:06:31.519 --> 01:06:32.320
Hell yeah.
01:06:32.559 --> 01:06:33.599
Hey, hey, hey.
01:06:33.840 --> 01:06:36.079
Are you are you actually going to like do it, dude?
01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:37.920
I am actually doing it.
01:06:38.159 --> 01:06:44.320
Okay, well, the fur bulg is uh towering over uh this lithe tabaxi.
01:06:45.119 --> 01:06:48.719
Uh I imagine you probably like your tail puffs up a little bit, right?
01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:50.559
Like that's that's intimidating.
01:06:50.800 --> 01:06:52.000
All my hair puffs up.
01:06:52.159 --> 01:06:52.800
Oh yeah.
01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:54.400
It's it's about to be a throwdown.
01:06:54.480 --> 01:06:55.519
Everyone else can recognize that.
01:06:55.599 --> 01:06:56.079
The claws.
01:06:57.119 --> 01:06:58.079
I'm gonna try to go between that.
01:06:58.159 --> 01:06:59.519
No uh, you're not touching my buddy.
01:06:59.599 --> 01:07:07.679
All right, you're not I'm trying too hard to feel thin right now, and I don't feel very calm right now.
01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:10.079
I I get that, I get that, that's fair.
01:07:10.159 --> 01:07:14.559
Listen, you might be a little thrown off because you didn't buy directly from me.
01:07:14.800 --> 01:07:22.480
I sold it to my cousin Muffin, who you bought it off of, so I kind of threw you under the bus so they'd take all the heat off of me.
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:24.400
Sorry, not sorry.
01:07:26.159 --> 01:07:27.360
I yeah, okay.
01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:30.719
I so I'm gonna go to Chocum unless someone stops me.
01:07:31.440 --> 01:07:32.239
I am in between.
01:07:32.320 --> 01:07:32.960
I am in between.
01:07:33.039 --> 01:07:44.719
I I am stop it'll be it'll be a strength contest, uh strength roll versus a strength save with advantage uh for Vincent because he has help.
01:07:44.960 --> 01:07:45.679
Okay, Red.
01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:46.239
Okay.
01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:48.480
So I strength save.
01:07:48.559 --> 01:07:51.280
That's D20 with advantage.
01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:55.199
Uh uh, I just rolled a natural 20.
01:07:55.440 --> 01:07:56.559
Oh, I got a six.
01:07:56.960 --> 01:07:59.119
This dice is going in jail.
01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:10.079
So for a bulg uh basically just goes like like uh goes to push you out of the way, Vincent.
01:08:10.719 --> 01:08:29.119
Uh and your natural like your preter natural skills that you've honed from decades in the urban jungle have uh spring into action and you initiate a one-armed takedown of this giant fur ball, uh putting him in like a nice armbar right at the end.
01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:34.079
What happened?
01:08:34.640 --> 01:08:35.039
What happened?
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:38.640
Oh, Virgil, you just got your ass kicked.
01:08:38.880 --> 01:08:40.159
Oh, god damn it.
01:08:41.279 --> 01:08:44.079
I think I think I cracked something.
01:08:49.199 --> 01:08:49.920
Absolutely.
01:08:50.079 --> 01:08:50.319
Yeah.
01:08:52.079 --> 01:08:54.000
I just want this nightmare to end.
01:08:55.680 --> 01:08:58.000
23 hours and 35 minutes.
01:08:58.319 --> 01:09:10.640
Well, friends, if I may intercede here, I was once a part of a 24-hour play festival with a collective that I didn't really get along with too well, and the two leaders of it, they they were a couple, but it was sort of it was undisclosed to the rest of us, so they were sort of beefing the entire time.
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:12.720
The whole it was very tenuous and very tumultuous.
01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:13.600
But here's the point.
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:24.800
The point is, I think that it's up to us as a group to figure this thing out and uh work hard together and sort of set our unified minds to a singular goal.
01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:32.880
I um I frankly don't want to get my head chopped off because uh I I do have a uh regional theater audition next week.
01:09:32.960 --> 01:09:33.840
I'm very excited about it.
01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:35.199
I've already done the dance combo.
01:09:35.279 --> 01:09:39.680
So And while she's talking, I'm gonna light the bottom of her robe on fire.
01:09:40.800 --> 01:09:43.680
God, I'm just on fire today with ideas.
01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:46.239
Oh no, you really are on fire.
01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:47.359
Yeah, literally.
01:09:48.079 --> 01:09:49.119
Stamp on it.
01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:54.000
I begin, I begin stopped dropping and rolling in the most like pathetic way possible.
01:09:54.239 --> 01:09:56.640
What are we next to the pyrotechnics idea?
01:09:56.720 --> 01:09:59.279
You guys, we said it was too dangerous for the audition.
01:09:59.520 --> 01:10:01.840
Come on, Virgil, let's leave these chumps behind.
01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:09.840
I'm gonna just like narratively interject and be like, y'all are walking out of the like stage going on.
01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:16.239
Like you're all just like kind of shooting the shit, and then the entire time that Warforge is like right like looming over you.
01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:20.319
Never within like never outside of a 30-foot range, let's say.
01:10:21.199 --> 01:10:22.800
What should we call him, by the way?
01:10:22.880 --> 01:10:23.600
Our new dog.
01:10:27.039 --> 01:10:29.680
The That's not a dog.
01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:35.199
It looks like all the other goddamn dogs in this city, that's for sure.
01:10:35.520 --> 01:10:36.880
You talk about me?
01:10:39.279 --> 01:10:42.479
I'm talking about the weird clockwork nature thing they got going on here.
01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:44.560
The giant mad shit bird.
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:46.560
Like, I get the whole dog thing.
01:10:46.720 --> 01:10:50.399
I really do, but really, I'm more, it's like way more dragon.
01:10:50.479 --> 01:10:52.000
Like, I'm way more regal.
01:10:52.159 --> 01:10:55.840
My bloodline is it's so high born, you wouldn't even know, man.
01:10:56.000 --> 01:11:04.000
And so like when you Chad then when you say shut up, it's a Halbert 44 unit, alright?
01:11:04.239 --> 01:11:06.800
It has a name, it is a particular unit, alright?
01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:08.479
A Halbert 44.
01:11:08.720 --> 01:11:09.039
Hell.
01:11:09.359 --> 01:11:10.880
Alright, Deefer it is.
01:11:11.439 --> 01:11:12.399
I hate you all.
01:11:12.640 --> 01:11:13.199
Deefer?
01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:14.319
Deefer.
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:15.520
Defer.
01:11:16.399 --> 01:11:18.079
Where's the guy?
01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:20.399
What?
01:11:22.239 --> 01:11:24.239
Muffin, the guy you sold the artifact to.
01:11:24.319 --> 01:11:25.199
Oh, that's a guy.
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:28.239
Where did you talk to him last?
01:11:28.880 --> 01:11:33.039
What do you probably bought it off of him?
01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:33.600
I think.
01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:35.039
I don't think it was you.
01:11:35.279 --> 01:11:35.520
Arnold.
01:11:35.920 --> 01:11:37.039
It was a furbog for sure.
01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:37.439
I don't know.
01:11:38.000 --> 01:11:39.920
Oh, so all furbugs are the same.
01:11:40.159 --> 01:11:42.640
Hey man, all I know is what Muffin told me.
01:11:42.800 --> 01:11:45.359
Wait, are you talking about are you talking about Dirgil?
01:11:46.399 --> 01:11:46.720
No.
01:11:46.960 --> 01:11:48.640
No, it definitely wasn't Dirgil.
01:11:48.880 --> 01:11:50.640
Dirgil, the black market furbog?
01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:52.399
You're sure you're not talking about Dirgil?
01:11:52.640 --> 01:11:55.199
I really say it like that, it might have been him.
01:11:55.439 --> 01:11:56.960
Dude, oh dude.
01:11:57.600 --> 01:12:01.199
Which is great because I've sold sold a lot of other artifacts to that guy directly.
01:12:01.279 --> 01:12:02.640
So it probably was that guy.
01:12:05.359 --> 01:12:07.920
Wait, Dirgil's bridge, yeah, yeah.
01:12:08.159 --> 01:12:10.800
Oh my god, yeah, he hates me.
01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:13.199
Dirgil does hate him.
01:12:13.520 --> 01:12:15.840
No, Virgil, Virgil, that's your name, right?
01:12:16.800 --> 01:12:18.159
Virgil's my name.
01:12:18.399 --> 01:12:22.319
Yeah, I have to ask, and I promise I don't mean anything by this at all.
01:12:22.640 --> 01:12:24.560
Are you related to Dirgil?
01:12:26.960 --> 01:12:28.720
I thought he was your cousin.
01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:36.720
Okay, so you think because I'm a fur bulk and he's a furbulk and we share similar sounding names that were related to mostly the names.
01:12:39.199 --> 01:12:41.600
I gotta plead ignorance on like fur bulk culture.
01:12:41.760 --> 01:12:50.079
I I faint to make any assumptions, but you know, if he told me that was the case, I wouldn't have like I wouldn't have like thought about it that hard.
01:12:50.399 --> 01:12:55.600
You guys just think every Girgil, Burgil, and Dirgil is related to Virgil?
01:12:55.760 --> 01:12:57.279
Are those all cousins of yours?
01:12:57.439 --> 01:13:00.880
You just made a list, or those are all the furbulgs in town.
01:13:01.119 --> 01:13:01.760
Yeah.
01:13:02.800 --> 01:13:04.079
Are they related?
01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:07.039
That's why I always not related.
01:13:07.279 --> 01:13:09.359
It's a common nomenclature.
01:13:10.399 --> 01:13:13.039
It's a common nomenclature in furbog culture, alright?
01:13:13.119 --> 01:13:14.960
It's just it's just all right.
01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:17.279
No, no, I really appreciate that.
01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:19.279
Yeah, you know I know, and I'm sorry.
01:13:19.520 --> 01:13:20.640
That's actually really illuminating.
01:13:20.800 --> 01:13:21.680
Thank you for that.
01:13:21.920 --> 01:13:23.279
Anyways, turtles and dick.
01:13:23.760 --> 01:13:29.520
All dirt together in the same apartment, kind of like we four do, because you guys all had similar names.
01:13:29.600 --> 01:13:31.840
But I guess it was We all sleep in one bed.
01:13:32.560 --> 01:13:36.000
That's not entirely true.
01:13:36.239 --> 01:13:37.279
Well Okay, okay.
01:13:37.359 --> 01:13:46.800
Some of us, some of us sleep like kind of uh at like the foot and at the head, you know, so we're not like side by side, but we're like it's very Willy Wonka style, is what I'm imagining.
01:13:47.119 --> 01:13:47.680
Precisely.
01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:50.880
You guys just talk about your living feet to feet.
01:13:53.119 --> 01:13:53.760
That's a good point.
01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:59.359
It's great when people love it when a group of roommates talk about their weird inner culture they've developed.
01:13:59.520 --> 01:14:02.560
So we just kind of keep up that verbal sparring.
01:14:02.800 --> 01:14:07.119
We like describing to people how enmeshed we are in each other's emotional lives.
01:14:07.760 --> 01:14:10.399
I am gonna go to the Halberd 44 unit.
01:14:10.560 --> 01:14:15.119
I'm going to be like, me and that guy over there.
01:14:15.199 --> 01:14:18.880
I point over at um Wait, have I suddenly forgotten the name that I've given you?
01:14:18.960 --> 01:14:20.000
Uh Typhus.
01:14:20.159 --> 01:14:23.520
I point over at Typhus, and I'm like, we are gonna go find the artifact.
01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:27.119
These fuckers could do whatever the fuck they want and die by your hand.
01:14:27.279 --> 01:14:28.560
I don't give a shit anymore.
01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:29.760
Come on, Typhus.
01:14:30.159 --> 01:14:30.720
Alright.
01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:35.600
All suspects remain within 30 feet of me.
01:14:37.600 --> 01:14:38.640
You say Blair.
01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:42.000
Wait, what did that what did the robot say?
01:14:42.720 --> 01:14:44.000
The robot hasn't said anything.
01:14:44.159 --> 01:14:45.840
It's just waiting for y'all to get a move on.
01:14:46.159 --> 01:14:49.439
All suspects must remain within 30 feet of me.
01:14:50.319 --> 01:14:54.319
I will remain closest to the largest group.
01:14:55.760 --> 01:14:56.560
God damn it.
01:14:56.800 --> 01:14:58.000
Why would he tell us that?
01:14:58.159 --> 01:15:00.800
Yeah, now I probably split up actually.
01:15:01.119 --> 01:15:06.159
Well, uh, it's funny that you mentioned that actually, because that is a very salient point.
01:15:06.800 --> 01:15:15.760
Something that is true about all of these constructs is that they all abide by a series of what are essentially programming commandments, right?
01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:18.560
The last of which is I cannot lie.
01:15:18.800 --> 01:15:26.880
All of these constructs, if confronted with a question directly, must tell the truth to any sentient form who is referring to it.
01:15:33.600 --> 01:15:37.920
If we split up into two equal sized groups, which group are you gonna follow?
01:15:40.720 --> 01:15:41.359
Exactly.
01:15:41.840 --> 01:16:11.039
But luckily we don't have to worry about that right now because uh as Virgil and Typhon sort of skip along their merry way, uh the warforge sort of uh just through its sheer presence kind of forces the other ragtag group along with it until uh finally you exit the the general outskirts of the city outside of the enforcer's range, minus this Halbert 44 unit that is uh serving as your sort of um uh insurance, let's say, that you do the task you're going to do.
01:16:11.359 --> 01:16:18.319
Uh Zach, I want you to describe to me exactly what it's like outside this city.
01:16:20.880 --> 01:16:22.880
Oh, you know, just on the city's edge.
01:16:23.119 --> 01:16:27.359
Oh barren wastes ever since the suburbs fell into hell.
01:16:29.359 --> 01:16:29.920
Damn.
01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:35.840
Just a bunch of dry, cracked ground for a long waste.
01:16:37.920 --> 01:16:39.520
And one bridge.
01:16:40.880 --> 01:16:41.840
The old bridge.
01:16:42.239 --> 01:16:43.119
The old bridge is used.
01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:55.039
So the bridge is old because you know it's not really in use anymore, because it led to the suburbs, and then the suburbs fell into hell, but the bridge is kind of on that edge where it did, so it's just kind of a bridge, and then it just big drop.
01:16:55.600 --> 01:16:58.720
The other half of the bridge, probably in hell somewhere.
01:17:01.520 --> 01:17:02.159
Damn.
01:17:02.720 --> 01:17:03.439
Damn.
01:17:03.760 --> 01:17:05.199
Bridge drops to hell.
01:17:05.279 --> 01:17:06.000
Uh that's a funny thing.
01:17:08.399 --> 01:17:21.279
Well, uh, the bridge is in sight, but unfortunately, crossing these cracked and barren plains is going to prove perhaps a little bit more difficult than it might immediately seem.
01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:35.600
Uh not only is there a massive drop-off right at the end of that bridge where the suburbs fell into hell famously five years ago during the Great Crush of uh 2017.
01:17:37.439 --> 01:17:43.279
Uh well, maybe we'll we'll we'll figure out the time scale at some point.
01:17:43.359 --> 01:18:06.239
But you know, the the Great Crushing uh is of course uh the famous incident where uh two of the moons were dropped directly on opposite sides of this uh the realm in which y'all inhabit, uh fundamentally flattening it into almost a flat surface with huge drop-offs on either side that colloquially, uh at least as far as old uh folk tales say, lead directly to hell.
01:18:06.399 --> 01:18:13.039
But no one from the city has really gone and looked down there to see what exactly is going on with all that.
01:18:14.239 --> 01:18:19.119
I wonder if that's why the church that my dad goes to calls all this the sandwich.
01:18:21.119 --> 01:18:23.279
I don't even know why I'm still going to this bridge.
01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:24.880
I made that thing up.
01:18:27.039 --> 01:18:29.359
Yeah, we should probably go to Dirgil, if anything.
01:18:30.640 --> 01:18:32.399
Guys, Dirgil lives under the bridge.
01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:35.039
He does, but it's kind of a coincidence.
01:18:35.279 --> 01:18:36.720
It's so bohemian.
01:18:37.840 --> 01:18:38.479
It is.
01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:40.960
Please don't call Dirgil Bohemian.
01:18:41.199 --> 01:18:42.239
He hates that.
01:18:42.560 --> 01:18:43.680
Yeah, uh yeah.
01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:46.000
Uh hey guys, you know what Dirgil loves?
01:18:46.239 --> 01:18:51.199
Dirgil loves when you walk up to him and give him a big old pat on the bat and say, Hey buddy, how's it going?
01:18:51.439 --> 01:18:54.000
Dirgil loves that, so why are you open with that?
01:18:54.319 --> 01:18:54.880
Typhus.
01:18:55.439 --> 01:18:56.960
Yeah, yeah, you know what?
01:18:57.039 --> 01:18:58.239
Yeah, he does love that.
01:18:58.399 --> 01:19:02.079
He really, he really loves that when you really get in his personal space.
01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:02.640
Well, I think that's a good thing.
01:19:05.439 --> 01:19:07.520
Yes, how's this for a line read?
01:19:07.680 --> 01:19:10.479
Hey, buddy, how is it going?
01:19:11.359 --> 01:19:14.159
Yeah, I think you're a shoe in for the part, honestly.
01:19:14.319 --> 01:19:14.880
You're both.
01:19:15.039 --> 01:19:15.760
Oh my gosh.
01:19:16.399 --> 01:19:20.239
It's it's it's like being called little guy.
01:19:20.479 --> 01:19:21.760
He loves that, yeah.
01:19:22.000 --> 01:19:22.399
Oh, yeah.
01:19:24.079 --> 01:19:25.920
Oh, that's even better.
01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:27.039
Oh, good.
01:19:27.920 --> 01:19:30.079
Well, people have that in my toolbox.
01:19:30.479 --> 01:19:43.760
You look out onto the vista at the edge of the city, recognizing that while you are riffing here, it is slightly hesitant because you do have the better part of half a day's journey before you even make it to the old bridge.
01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:51.119
Because of course, these barren wastes on the outside of the city stretch for miles in every direction, flat plains as far as the eye can see.
01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:54.319
And the bridge is definitely there and you can make it out.
01:19:54.560 --> 01:20:01.920
But this wouldn't be the first time a group of adventurers from the city tried to make their way out there, only to never be seen again.
01:20:02.640 --> 01:20:04.319
But we'll get there in a moment.
01:20:04.399 --> 01:20:12.720
Uh, before we do, I'd like to take a quick five-minute intermission to give our players a chance to refresh themselves and come back ready to go, as well as anybody who is watching.
01:20:12.800 --> 01:20:17.199
Uh, go ahead and take some time to get some snacks, settle in, because we will be going until 10 p.m.
01:20:17.359 --> 01:20:17.680
tonight.
01:20:17.760 --> 01:20:20.079
And thank you for tuning in so far to the final rules.
01:20:20.159 --> 01:20:21.279
We will be right back.
01:20:25.119 --> 01:20:26.159
Hello, everybody.
01:20:26.319 --> 01:20:28.159
Welcome back to the final rules.
01:20:28.239 --> 01:20:30.399
Uh, part two of session one, I guess.
01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:35.600
I imagine for the uh the audio part of this, we'll probably be splitting it into two different parts here anyway.
01:20:35.760 --> 01:20:40.640
Uh especially since this is going to be a bit of a marathon as we go to pull through to the end.
01:20:40.880 --> 01:20:51.279
Um, but during our intermission, Justin, I think, uh offered something that I would also like to do, and that is pull our first suggestion for uh this season of the final rules.
01:20:51.520 --> 01:21:00.880
So again, the way that this works is these are suggestions that have either been submitted by us as players just to kind of keep get some in the general circulation, or from fans on our Discord.
01:21:01.039 --> 01:21:04.079
Uh over the last couple of days, we've been putting out a call for these suggestions.
01:21:04.159 --> 01:21:13.359
So we are going to pull one live through our Discord, let everyone know what it is, and we are going to use that as a sort of jumping off point for the second half of the first season uh session.
01:21:16.079 --> 01:21:18.560
Uh so I'm going to go ahead and do that now.
01:21:18.800 --> 01:21:24.560
Uh and if you are watching live, you can you can see me do this in the spoiler chat of the Discord.
01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:25.279
It's amazing.
01:21:26.239 --> 01:21:28.640
It's one of the many perks to being a part of the Discord.
01:21:29.439 --> 01:21:42.319
The suggestion that has been pulled from the Discord text channel The Bucket on the Final Rules Discord link in bio uh is going to be submitted by Casey, and that is IKEA instructions.
01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:43.840
Amazing.
01:21:47.520 --> 01:21:49.439
So good.
01:21:49.680 --> 01:21:50.000
Alright.
01:21:50.399 --> 01:21:51.039
So good.
01:21:53.760 --> 01:22:00.880
So we are sitting at the edge uh of what looks to be uh just the planes of oblivion.
01:22:01.359 --> 01:22:05.279
Uh something occurs to y'all, and that is a suggestion IKEA furniture.
01:22:05.359 --> 01:22:12.800
So that's what we're going to be playing with as we fade back in, uh, let's say about five hours into the journey.
01:22:16.159 --> 01:22:17.680
Someone carry me?
01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:19.279
No.
01:22:19.760 --> 01:22:21.520
I don't walk like this.
01:22:22.640 --> 01:22:23.920
This is too much.
01:22:24.560 --> 01:22:26.479
Deeper, deeper, pick me up.
01:22:27.920 --> 01:22:30.000
I am not allowed to assist.
01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:33.039
What about wait?
01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:35.199
I hypothetical question.
01:22:35.439 --> 01:22:41.680
If if you're not allowed to assist, but if we were getting killed, you couldn't intervene.
01:22:42.239 --> 01:22:43.760
Even if it means getting the artifact back.
01:22:51.359 --> 01:22:55.840
Criminals do not are not guaranteed safety by the enforcers.
01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:57.359
Okay, like the artifact are.
01:23:16.640 --> 01:23:36.079
The screen itself displays all of your personal information one by one to each of you, including like any equivalents of like social security numbers, like date of birth, your fingerprints, your DNA sequence that you don't know when they did, but at some point I guess they had to have because it's there and it looks pretty accurate from what you can tell.
01:23:36.399 --> 01:23:37.279
Okay, hang on.
01:23:37.359 --> 01:23:39.600
Um, that that's supposed to say BFA.
01:23:39.840 --> 01:23:41.760
It's not just a BA.
01:23:41.920 --> 01:23:44.079
I wouldn't have lied about that.
01:23:44.880 --> 01:23:45.680
Holy shit.
01:23:45.840 --> 01:23:48.000
Virgil, I do have a birthday.
01:23:48.319 --> 01:23:50.800
Uh yeah, you sure do.
01:23:51.279 --> 01:23:52.479
Oh my god.
01:23:53.520 --> 01:23:56.000
You're 120 years old.
01:23:56.880 --> 01:23:57.520
Yeah.
01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:02.319
I think I I have to I feel like that's wrong.
01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:04.479
Mr.
01:24:04.880 --> 01:24:09.039
Keeper, how accurate do you like feel like this information is?
01:24:10.720 --> 01:24:19.600
Uh information provided by the government is 87.3333333333 continuous percent accurate.
01:24:20.479 --> 01:24:23.680
That's that feels like a large margin of error.
01:24:23.920 --> 01:24:24.479
Absolutely.
01:24:25.119 --> 01:24:25.920
Follow-up question.
01:24:26.079 --> 01:24:31.039
A follow-up question, D for Have you ever experienced love in connection with another human being?
01:24:31.359 --> 01:24:32.640
Great question.
01:24:33.119 --> 01:24:35.680
I have connected to the mainframe.
01:24:36.479 --> 01:24:39.600
The main her name is mainframe, everyone!
01:24:39.840 --> 01:24:42.159
There's zero humans around here.
01:24:42.479 --> 01:24:43.439
Kill me.
01:24:45.119 --> 01:24:45.920
Tell us about her.
01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:47.680
What is mainframe like?
01:24:48.399 --> 01:24:49.920
What are what is what are they like?
01:24:50.319 --> 01:24:50.960
Tell us.
01:24:51.359 --> 01:24:58.960
They are big That's how you like it, huh?
01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:01.680
They contain information.
01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:04.640
All of the information.
01:25:06.880 --> 01:25:08.159
Communication is important.
01:25:10.720 --> 01:25:22.720
The main is the mainframe is No, it it is.
01:25:22.800 --> 01:25:29.680
Like the mainframe is like it exists and it it it has existed and will always exist.
01:25:29.920 --> 01:25:33.680
Wow, what they mean some real faith in the mainframe there.
01:25:33.920 --> 01:25:34.640
What do you mean?
01:25:34.720 --> 01:25:36.640
Is this the first time y'all heard of the mainframe?
01:25:36.720 --> 01:25:41.039
Like what is I've been pretty deep in the weeds, no pun intended.
01:25:41.359 --> 01:25:44.159
Literally, literally in the weeds carving stuff up.
01:25:44.239 --> 01:25:46.800
So like I have not paid attention to any kind of frame.
01:25:47.039 --> 01:25:56.079
Well, I'll tell you what, you couldn't find your way on any of the bullet trains downtown if you didn't know the first thing about the mainframe, so you better learn yourself, buddy.
01:25:56.560 --> 01:25:58.079
It's very true.
01:25:58.560 --> 01:26:01.279
You will miss your stop multiple times.
01:26:01.760 --> 01:26:06.640
Well, does the mainframe have any information, perhaps, about the artifact that we're seeking?
01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:08.239
Is that a good question?
01:26:08.800 --> 01:26:10.399
That is classified.
01:26:10.800 --> 01:26:15.600
There's no way it's the Saints Azuvian bong we smoked out of at Bard College, right?
01:26:16.159 --> 01:26:17.920
Like I've been thinking about it this whole time.
01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:20.399
There's no way it's the Saints Azuvian bong, right?
01:26:20.640 --> 01:26:22.960
But I also kind of was like, is it?
01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:25.600
I cannot compute.
01:26:26.159 --> 01:26:26.800
Could it?
01:26:28.239 --> 01:26:30.239
Oh, it tot it totally might be.
01:26:30.319 --> 01:26:31.520
It totally might be at this point.
01:26:31.600 --> 01:26:33.520
We'll have to wait until we run into uh uh.
01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:36.399
I always thought it was weird how it didn't tarnish.
01:26:36.880 --> 01:26:44.800
As you guys are uh walking, um, I need everyone to roll me uh perception checks real quick.
01:26:44.960 --> 01:26:45.760
Oh boy.
01:26:46.560 --> 01:26:51.119
Uh that's an unnatural twenty.
01:26:52.079 --> 01:26:52.560
Oh man.
01:26:52.960 --> 01:26:58.399
It's an eleven plus what do I add to perception?
01:26:58.479 --> 01:26:59.760
That's uh wait, hold on.
01:27:02.479 --> 01:27:03.199
Uh yeah.
01:27:03.359 --> 01:27:05.039
If you're not a wizard wisdom.
01:27:05.439 --> 01:27:06.319
I have a 13.
01:27:06.399 --> 01:27:07.359
That's what it is.
01:27:08.479 --> 01:27:10.000
I have an 20.
01:27:11.600 --> 01:27:11.920
Eleven.
01:27:14.239 --> 01:27:16.800
Uh and uh Arnold, what did you roll?
01:27:21.199 --> 01:27:22.000
A nine.
01:27:22.239 --> 01:27:35.359
Uh as you guys all begin to hear, uh I think it was Michael, Typhus, and Virgil begin to hear cracking.
01:27:35.760 --> 01:27:45.119
Um Virgil, you look behind you as you see this, uh you guys are it's a red desert, cracked ground everywhere.
01:27:45.359 --> 01:27:50.399
Um you guys are of course walking to an abyss with a bridge hanging over it.
01:27:50.800 --> 01:27:59.760
Um as you see the ground behind you just begin cracking open, uh, and you can see.
01:28:00.319 --> 01:28:11.199
As it starts, you can see all these rocks beginning to fall as it starts opening up, as this crack in the earth starts uh shooting towards you guys.
01:28:12.399 --> 01:28:14.800
Uh guys, I think we need to run.
01:28:17.680 --> 01:28:18.079
Alright.
01:28:19.359 --> 01:28:20.399
I'm gonna start booking it.
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:20.720
I don't know.
01:28:20.800 --> 01:28:22.239
I'm gonna book it in the opposite direction.
01:28:22.319 --> 01:28:22.800
I don't know if it's a good thing.
01:28:22.960 --> 01:28:25.039
I'm booking it the opposite direction.
01:28:25.279 --> 01:28:25.520
Okay.
01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:31.600
All the suspects must remain within 30 feet of this unit, and it's going to start like bulking up again.
01:28:31.920 --> 01:28:32.319
Oh, okay.
01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:35.760
I got him.
01:28:36.960 --> 01:28:40.880
Deefer, uh Deefer's able to uh keep up with you guys.
01:28:41.039 --> 01:28:51.600
He like he beefs up, uh looks like his legs get longer uh as he just kind of almost looks like he has stilts and he just goes just keeping up with you guys.
01:28:51.680 --> 01:28:53.359
Uh I forgot this unit could do that.
01:28:53.680 --> 01:29:06.560
And uh we will um uh we will enter a uh bit of an environmental chase sequence um to where you guys are beginning to run from this crack.
01:29:06.720 --> 01:29:17.199
So basically, what you guys will be able to do, um you guys will each be able to um we're gonna kind of use a similar system to what Blades of the Dark does, kind of like wheels.
01:29:17.279 --> 01:29:20.640
We're gonna be using a wheel for success and failures.
01:29:20.880 --> 01:29:30.319
Um and uh so you guys as a group or individually can uh either succeed or uh fail on your rolls.
01:29:30.479 --> 01:29:34.479
The DCs for all of these checks are going to be set to 12.
01:29:34.640 --> 01:29:38.800
So you guys know what you're rolling against um and what you guys need to do.
01:29:38.880 --> 01:29:48.880
You can use, of course, your magic, your uh abilities, but you can't use the same skill or same ability twice in a row.
01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:58.960
Um but uh Tim, do you got the uh would you like to set the wheels for success and failure for us?
01:29:59.600 --> 01:30:04.560
Yeah, um so uh on success.
01:30:07.119 --> 01:30:10.079
So uh sorry, uh I refresh me on Blades in the Dark.
01:30:10.159 --> 01:30:16.399
The wheels are So like we're gonna make a pie chart basically and then uh basically we'll have to.
01:30:16.479 --> 01:30:17.279
Oh, how close are they?
01:30:17.520 --> 01:30:23.600
Uh let's say four for success and six for failure.
01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:29.199
So you have to sorry, so we have to be successful four times and then we are fully successful in escaping.
01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:31.359
For real.
01:30:31.520 --> 01:30:36.000
Ah, we fail six and the clock finishes for failure.
01:30:36.239 --> 01:30:46.960
Yeah, I will say let's do uh three people if three people succeed, I think that that will be like a good a good starting point.
01:30:50.399 --> 01:30:53.359
So we'll be rolling uh just whatever.
01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:59.520
Yeah, uh so as you guys begin running, uh you guys all uh just start booking it.
01:30:59.760 --> 01:31:08.239
Um and uh yeah, what what is it you guys are wanting to do to try to escape the uh the earth trying to open beneath your guys' feet?
01:31:08.399 --> 01:31:19.680
You can see it's probably about 50, 60 feet behind you guys, but you see as it's on a trajectory, and you can see the earth that you guys were walking on just a few minutes ago begins to crack.
01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:31.520
Arnold was wearing some like knockoff Birkenstock sandals, uh, like just kind of because they're comfortable and he likes to wear clothing because he's uh sentient.
01:31:31.680 --> 01:31:39.840
Um, but as he begins to like break into a full stride, he kicks them off so he can let his little cat claws out, and he's like getting down to like all fours.
01:31:39.920 --> 01:31:48.159
And I'm gonna do like some acrobatics, uh like kind of doing backflips uh off of like crushing and crumbling rocks.
01:31:48.479 --> 01:31:56.319
Yeah, every time you go to like where a normal person would roll their ankle, you're like, nope, not this time, and you let you use your little cat toe beans to like really get around it.
01:31:56.399 --> 01:31:56.800
I get you.
01:31:56.880 --> 01:31:57.680
I've watched them do that before.
01:31:58.399 --> 01:31:59.119
Yeah, exactly.
01:31:59.680 --> 01:32:00.399
Hell yeah.
01:32:00.640 --> 01:32:01.520
Um, all right.
01:32:01.680 --> 01:32:04.239
So uh yeah, roll me an acrobatics check.
01:32:04.399 --> 01:32:06.079
Uh, you guys all begin running.
01:32:06.239 --> 01:32:10.960
Uh Arnold, you kind of uh you didn't notice this and you kind of fell behind a little bit.
01:32:11.039 --> 01:32:14.319
Uh so you kick off your feet and you begin running.
01:32:15.119 --> 01:32:21.760
I think at some point I I I I only get one sandal off because I uh I'm struggling.
01:32:21.840 --> 01:32:22.960
That's a Nat one.
01:32:24.640 --> 01:32:25.119
Devastating.
01:32:25.359 --> 01:32:26.720
Okay, noted, noted.
01:32:26.880 --> 01:32:27.359
Alright.
01:32:27.600 --> 01:32:29.680
Uh Natural One.
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:34.960
Uh, you guys all see as Arnold uh trips and falls uh in the back.
01:32:35.279 --> 01:32:36.319
My straps.
01:32:36.880 --> 01:32:37.600
Arnold.
01:32:40.000 --> 01:32:46.399
Uh the ground is very quickly catching up to Arnold as Michael uh tries to tries to flee.
01:32:46.640 --> 01:32:48.159
I've got seven lives left.
01:32:48.399 --> 01:32:49.920
Go on without me, Michael.
01:32:50.079 --> 01:32:52.159
Don't forget me, but go on without me.
01:32:52.399 --> 01:32:52.960
I can't.
01:32:53.119 --> 01:32:53.520
I can't.
01:32:53.600 --> 01:32:54.720
I gotta I gotta help it.
01:32:54.880 --> 01:32:57.119
I gotta we gotta be together for this.
01:32:57.840 --> 01:33:03.359
Uh then go ahead and make your check whatever it's going to be with disadvantage because you're gonna be trying to help Arnold succeed.
01:33:03.520 --> 01:33:03.760
Yeah.
01:33:04.079 --> 01:33:05.920
So I was I'm I'm a real fit boy.
01:33:06.079 --> 01:33:07.680
I I've I'm strong and I'm fast.
01:33:07.760 --> 01:33:09.840
So I was gonna just try to run really hard.
01:33:09.920 --> 01:33:11.680
So I'll roll this twice.
01:33:11.920 --> 01:33:18.319
Uh first that's a that's a 18, so then with great luck comes.
01:33:19.680 --> 01:33:21.760
Okay, this is actually uh 16.
01:33:22.159 --> 01:33:22.640
Hell yeah.
01:33:22.800 --> 01:33:23.359
Alright, wonderful.
01:33:23.600 --> 01:33:24.079
Hell yeah.
01:33:24.239 --> 01:33:38.399
Uh yeah, you you you run back uh uh you almost go on all fours as you go down there and you uh you go down like sliding in all three, grabbing him as you uh grip your claws into the dirt and just start dashing back.
01:33:38.640 --> 01:33:53.359
Uh Arnold, you're able to kick that second foot off, and you guys uh the rest of you guys, of course, you guys had to stop um for for for this because you guys can't all be more than 60 feet at maximum away from each other.
01:33:53.600 --> 01:33:59.920
Um so as uh as Michael runs back and grabs Arnold, you guys are all able to start taking off again.
01:34:00.159 --> 01:34:01.600
Thanks for waiting, guys.
01:34:03.520 --> 01:34:05.039
Of course, we literally have to.
01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:10.239
Typhus, how are you escaping this uh as hell opens beneath you?
01:34:11.600 --> 01:34:14.000
I've been in one of these situations before.
01:34:14.319 --> 01:34:15.279
You know what I'm about to do.
01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:22.560
I'm about to pop one of them long striders, just hit it, start running on all fours like the dog I am.
01:34:22.880 --> 01:34:28.960
What does that um whenever you cast spells, uh, because you are an artificer, right?
01:34:29.119 --> 01:34:30.720
How does that look for you?
01:34:31.279 --> 01:34:43.439
Uh you got the little uh got the little uh watch right there with the got with the cogs and the gears in it, and I give it the spin, slap it, and then uh from there, you know, the the go-go gadgets boots.
01:34:44.560 --> 01:34:45.760
The the the hand one.
01:34:46.239 --> 01:34:47.119
Amazing.
01:34:47.359 --> 01:34:48.479
Uh I like that.
01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:57.199
Uh and you are uh go ahead and roll with uh with advantage, I would imagine, because like long strider basically removes difficulty from terrain.
01:34:57.920 --> 01:34:58.800
Oh yeah.
01:34:59.039 --> 01:35:00.720
Well that is a 19.
01:35:01.279 --> 01:35:01.520
Okay.
01:35:03.840 --> 01:35:04.479
Amazing.
01:35:04.640 --> 01:35:05.359
I love that.
01:35:05.520 --> 01:35:20.720
Yeah, uh about to say you uh you open the various arcane channels that you have cultivated in your years of study of how cogs and fractals move within each other, uh, central to the intelligence of an artificer.
01:35:21.039 --> 01:35:32.960
And you uh are able to pivot that that power that you're channeling directly into your arcane-sensitive boots, which don't actually make you any faster, they just look cool.
01:35:33.039 --> 01:35:34.880
The the power comes from within.
01:35:35.600 --> 01:35:36.000
You know?
01:35:37.760 --> 01:35:42.960
Uh so this cobalt gets some like really cool like sparks flying off of the shoes.
01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:48.319
We're looking at like nice LED, like RGB lights going up them, flashing like a nice keyboard.
01:35:49.119 --> 01:35:53.680
But about to say, and then suddenly actually starts to like bolt forward.
01:35:55.279 --> 01:36:05.439
Uh even about say even uh taking uh strides ahead of uh Virgil, you see you see Typhus just without any care in the world, just booking it down.
01:36:07.359 --> 01:36:08.560
There he goes again.
01:36:09.039 --> 01:36:09.439
Yeah.
01:36:09.600 --> 01:36:11.840
Uh so you guys all begin going.
01:36:11.920 --> 01:36:34.239
You see as the crack uh begins like it looks like it turns right a little bit as you guys are running, uh, giving you guys a little bit more uh um a little bit more room, but you can see as it's as it's not in line with you guys, but it seems to be like speeding up, um almost catching up to you guys, but probably about 40 or 50 feet to your guys' right side.
01:36:34.399 --> 01:36:36.319
Um what do you guys want to do?
01:36:38.720 --> 01:36:51.680
I am wanting to uh look deep within me and and try to see if there's any sort of like God, like deity or or like energy of theater or something that I could reach out to.
01:36:54.159 --> 01:37:00.560
And for a moment you feel the pressure of the ocean above you.
01:37:01.119 --> 01:37:09.680
You are crushed into something so tiny and minuscule that you worry for a moment that you shall simply cease to be.
01:37:10.319 --> 01:37:21.760
But then in the distance, a small light that comes a little closer and a little closer, and you realize that though you are underwater, you don't need to breathe right now.
01:37:22.239 --> 01:37:35.199
And your patron, the fathomless one, leers its glassy, empty eyes towards you and says not yet.
01:37:40.159 --> 01:37:43.119
And then you pop back in to reality.
01:37:44.159 --> 01:37:53.359
You stumble and you're running uh for just that moment while you tap into the power of your patron uh and are summarily rejected by it.
01:37:55.600 --> 01:38:01.760
My patron doesn't know the power of yes and oh no.
01:38:07.119 --> 01:38:12.399
So uh what else are you gonna give strip stage guy?
01:38:13.520 --> 01:38:20.880
Um I I I think I'm so thrown by this sort of immediate denial that we actors are so used to.
01:38:21.039 --> 01:38:28.960
I'm just gonna kind of begin like uh sacheting, like some some some like nice, quick, like almost jazz walks.
01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:31.600
Because you've been training so much for the audition.
01:38:31.680 --> 01:38:33.359
It's it's your natural movement at this point.
01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:34.399
Yeah, exactly.
01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:34.800
Exactly.
01:38:35.520 --> 01:38:39.039
You do still have access to your like current spells and stuff like that.
01:38:39.279 --> 01:38:41.760
Yeah, um, uh just no direct intervention on the patron.
01:38:42.079 --> 01:38:45.760
No direct, they're just saying, I'm not carrying you through this.
01:38:45.920 --> 01:38:46.800
Yeah, exactly.
01:38:47.039 --> 01:38:47.760
Absolutely.
01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:50.399
Yeah, that's great.
01:38:50.560 --> 01:38:54.319
And I'm looking at these, and I'm just gonna keep such roll.
01:38:54.479 --> 01:38:57.920
Yeah, um uh with that rejection.
01:38:58.000 --> 01:39:02.239
Um, I just want you to roll me a uh a charisma save.
01:39:02.399 --> 01:39:04.720
Um yeah, I think that's fair.
01:39:05.760 --> 01:39:06.800
Um 17.
01:39:07.279 --> 01:39:07.680
17.
01:39:08.079 --> 01:39:08.399
There you go.
01:39:08.880 --> 01:39:19.199
Um, I mean, she's got it just two weeks ago, you got told no, probably about saving four times a day.
01:39:19.439 --> 01:39:21.600
And you're like, one more time?
01:39:22.000 --> 01:39:24.319
Nah, I'm keep pushing through.
01:39:24.479 --> 01:39:38.319
Um, so with that, uh, you keep pushing through, and you uh I mean you speed you haven't been able to access before in a while, just out of your pure gumption and uh out of your gut.
01:39:38.640 --> 01:39:48.800
Um uh yeah, you guys see as uh as this crack begins kind of uh slowly and slowly starting turn towards you guys.
01:39:51.920 --> 01:39:57.680
We have we have two more people, I believe, that have not successfully secured their safety.
01:39:57.840 --> 01:40:02.000
I I think for the wheel we have, but like we still want some narrative like juice for y'all.
01:40:02.079 --> 01:40:02.399
Come on.
01:40:02.640 --> 01:40:03.840
I'm just running.
01:40:04.479 --> 01:40:07.199
I'm like a really unbrainly runner.
01:40:07.359 --> 01:40:10.880
I'm a people guy, I can't talk to the ground.
01:40:12.560 --> 01:40:14.960
But you try, give me a persuasion check.
01:40:18.880 --> 01:40:19.520
Actually, you know what?
01:40:19.760 --> 01:40:20.159
I'll tell you what.
01:40:21.199 --> 01:40:24.159
Okay, you can't convince the ground, but you can convince yourself, alright?
01:40:24.399 --> 01:40:24.560
Yeah.
01:40:26.000 --> 01:40:29.279
I know we haven't run this far in a while.
01:40:29.760 --> 01:40:36.560
My lungs are doing good, I'm just not feeling as smooth and graceful as I used to.
01:40:37.039 --> 01:40:40.079
Put a little jazz in it.
01:40:40.560 --> 01:40:42.079
Jazz player, jazz.
01:40:43.039 --> 01:40:43.680
16.
01:40:44.000 --> 01:40:44.560
16.
01:40:45.119 --> 01:40:45.760
Amazing.
01:40:45.920 --> 01:40:46.560
Yeah.
01:40:46.880 --> 01:41:02.640
Uh with with that little bit of jazz, I'd say uh uh your your voice begins reverberating inside of the canyon uh as uh as you can hear it kind of jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, just kind of echoing in there.
01:41:02.880 --> 01:41:17.439
Um as uh you see it uh take a hard uh hard left uh like directly behind you guys, but unfortunately, Virgil, you're still uh you're still behind where the crack is.
01:41:17.600 --> 01:41:24.159
Um and you can just see as the ground is just about to fall between you uh from below your feet.
01:41:25.199 --> 01:41:31.439
So I I see as even though I had a I felt like I had a good head start, everyone is past me.
01:41:31.600 --> 01:41:37.039
And I for a split second I'm like, what has happened in my life to get me to this point?
01:41:37.920 --> 01:41:41.119
How how did things screw up this bad?
01:41:41.439 --> 01:41:52.319
Give me a montage of five scenes from your life that uh you that come to mind as you're running like quick montages, like little glimpses into your past.
01:41:52.960 --> 01:42:00.960
So we go back a little a little a little earlier, where I'm stuck in a bullet train.
01:42:01.199 --> 01:42:09.760
I wake up with a cold sweat, I look up at the arcane LEDs that spread across that say what stop that we're at.
01:42:10.000 --> 01:42:12.079
I'm like, fuck, I missed my stop.
01:42:13.439 --> 01:42:21.359
And I press the and I and I pull on the emergency lever, and the bullet train forcefully stops in the middle of its journey.
01:42:21.680 --> 01:42:23.600
High, high above the area.
01:42:24.960 --> 01:42:30.479
In a cold sweat, I realize I panicked too much, but the doors are the emergency doors have already opened.
01:42:30.960 --> 01:42:39.199
And I am not one to be too embarrassed, so I decide to go and jump out of the bullet train.
01:42:40.319 --> 01:42:40.640
Hell yeah.
01:42:41.600 --> 01:42:42.000
Hell yeah.
01:42:42.239 --> 01:42:45.279
And with that, my next memory.
01:42:46.319 --> 01:42:50.560
I find myself lost in this brawling city.
01:42:51.279 --> 01:42:57.039
One of my first times, finally getting here, thinking that things will change, things will be different.
01:42:58.159 --> 01:42:59.760
But it just felt overwhelming.
01:43:00.319 --> 01:43:01.600
Absolutely overwhelming.
01:43:02.479 --> 01:43:11.439
Everything, the skyscrapers, every little piece and bit that made this city what it was, it was it it it felt like it would consume me whole.
01:43:12.880 --> 01:43:17.760
But a piece of me was like, I'm going to understand this city from the bottom to the top.
01:43:18.640 --> 01:43:20.640
And I'm going to make it my bitch.
01:43:21.199 --> 01:43:23.039
If it's the last thing I do.
01:43:25.279 --> 01:43:25.600
Wowie.
01:43:26.640 --> 01:43:30.159
The next thing I remember is Typhus.
01:43:31.439 --> 01:43:37.359
Typhus just absolutely insisting that I have to try this new bagel place.
01:43:37.600 --> 01:43:44.000
Absolutely insisting that I needed to try this new bagel place, and I had to tell him I did not want to go to this new bagel place.
01:43:44.319 --> 01:43:45.520
I do not want to go.
01:43:45.680 --> 01:43:47.600
I hate bagels, in fact.
01:43:48.479 --> 01:43:50.960
But we actually sat in there and we had a good time.
01:43:51.600 --> 01:43:54.239
And it's one of my fondest memories with Typhus.
01:43:54.640 --> 01:43:57.359
Where we actually could sit down and have a good meal together.
01:43:58.640 --> 01:44:03.760
My fourth memory! Oh, we're going to five.
01:44:04.000 --> 01:44:04.800
Are we going to five?
01:44:04.960 --> 01:44:05.600
Because I'm going.
01:44:05.920 --> 01:44:10.239
Oh, I thought give me like two words for each of these last memories.
01:44:10.479 --> 01:44:11.119
Yeah, sure.
01:44:11.279 --> 01:44:12.720
Uh, fourth memory.
01:44:12.960 --> 01:44:15.119
Um forest.
01:44:15.439 --> 01:44:16.159
Serene.
01:44:16.960 --> 01:44:18.159
And last memory.
01:44:19.520 --> 01:44:20.000
Cold.
01:44:20.800 --> 01:44:21.359
Dark.
01:44:23.600 --> 01:44:24.800
And you're back.
01:44:26.319 --> 01:44:30.880
What what what what has inspired you to survive from those memories, Virgil?
01:44:31.439 --> 01:44:32.960
That I never gave up.
01:44:35.279 --> 01:44:36.880
Give me a constitution check.
01:44:37.199 --> 01:44:37.520
Alright.
01:44:37.760 --> 01:44:41.439
Let's let's let's see if your physical fortitude matches your mental fortitude.
01:44:42.079 --> 01:44:43.439
That's a five.
01:44:46.479 --> 01:44:47.680
Oh my god.
01:44:49.199 --> 01:44:57.760
And then that's when you realize you never gave up, but you also haven't been falling down an endless canyon before.
01:44:58.000 --> 01:45:02.319
Um, how what how are you wanting to get out of this?
01:45:02.640 --> 01:45:03.840
How am I w well?
01:45:04.239 --> 01:45:04.560
Okay.
01:45:05.359 --> 01:45:08.479
So how far is Halbert Halbert from us?
01:45:08.720 --> 01:45:11.119
Actually, Halbert is with the rest of the group.
01:45:11.359 --> 01:45:14.239
You're um I behind him or is he in front of me?
01:45:14.399 --> 01:45:15.039
Uh Deefer.
01:45:15.359 --> 01:45:20.560
Deefer is uh is with the rest of the group safe as it as it uh turned right in front of you.
01:45:20.640 --> 01:45:24.239
You're here as the ground is slowly, we're like in slow motion.
01:45:24.399 --> 01:45:28.319
The ground is slowly beginning to fall uh from below your feet.
01:45:28.640 --> 01:45:32.800
It is worth noting though that as that ground falls, you start to fall behind.
01:45:32.960 --> 01:45:39.920
Ergo Deefer also starts to fall behind on those giant stilt legs of its right as the ground is crumbling underneath you.
01:45:42.000 --> 01:45:42.880
Alright.
01:45:43.920 --> 01:45:46.079
So I'm pretty close to him.
01:45:46.560 --> 01:45:47.119
His legs.
01:45:48.079 --> 01:45:50.159
You are everyone is within movement.
01:45:51.199 --> 01:45:51.520
Okay.
01:45:53.039 --> 01:46:10.000
I would like to as I'm tumbling, I would I would like to gr try to grab onto one of Deefer's legs in an attempt to not only springboard myself forward, but see if I can get Deefer to fall into the chasm behind me.
01:46:11.840 --> 01:46:12.159
Okay.
01:46:13.199 --> 01:46:17.760
Uh so you are you doing this just pure like willpower strength?
01:46:18.159 --> 01:46:24.479
With um I'm gonna say that that would be athletics or acrobatics.
01:46:26.399 --> 01:46:34.720
I'd I'd probably say athletics with uh you're trying to pull this uh one like half a ton or one ton creature into the ability.
01:46:34.960 --> 01:46:43.199
Because I will say this, as a as I have a powerful build as a fur bog, you count as one size larger when determining your carry capacity and weight you can push, drag, or lift.
01:46:43.520 --> 01:46:43.760
Okay.
01:46:46.319 --> 01:46:47.359
So yeah.
01:46:47.600 --> 01:46:55.279
So I I feel like it it it it it is possible, especially considering the loose footing that this this robot would be on.
01:46:55.520 --> 01:47:00.159
Yeah, because it's not like you need to throw the robot, you just need to get his foot to slide on uneven ground a little.
01:47:00.319 --> 01:47:00.560
Yeah.
01:47:00.720 --> 01:47:08.720
So and and and the robot being, you know, a robot, I can use that force I used to push the foot away to kind of pull myself forward.
01:47:09.279 --> 01:47:12.159
Sort of an a la give and take of force, if you will.
01:47:12.479 --> 01:47:12.960
Yeah.
01:47:13.279 --> 01:47:14.720
I think so.
01:47:14.960 --> 01:47:19.439
Uh we'll we'll set the the 12 is just a success you get to safety.
01:47:19.920 --> 01:47:24.560
17 uh you get to push deeper into the pit.
01:47:25.760 --> 01:47:26.079
Okay.
01:47:27.199 --> 01:47:27.760
Alright.
01:47:28.319 --> 01:47:29.199
Come on, Dice.
01:47:29.520 --> 01:47:32.000
You've been really, really terrible to me lately.
01:47:35.760 --> 01:47:38.960
That's uh wait, uh that is a oh hold on.
01:47:40.079 --> 01:47:48.560
So I'm I'm I'm going to say I'm not I haven't looked at what this calculates to yet, but I think I'm proficient in athletics.
01:47:48.960 --> 01:47:50.479
I would say I'm proficient in athletics.
01:47:50.720 --> 01:47:51.359
Yeah, absolutely.
01:47:51.600 --> 01:47:53.600
You seem like the kind of Webby, yeah, yeah.
01:47:53.920 --> 01:48:00.720
Um, so that'd be 14?
01:48:01.039 --> 01:48:01.840
Not quite enough.
01:48:02.560 --> 01:48:03.119
I think enough to survive.
01:48:04.239 --> 01:48:05.359
It is enough to survive.
01:48:05.520 --> 01:48:06.000
Yep.
01:48:06.399 --> 01:48:15.279
Enough to survive as you uh as you uh running like uh legless in the really bad Hobbit movies, uh start running on these rocks.
01:48:15.439 --> 01:48:28.079
Um as uh one of legs, one of the deefer's legs kind of slips off of the back as he begins uh shifting his weight forward, you're able to reach just enough to uh grab that uh stretched out leg.
01:48:28.319 --> 01:48:42.000
And uh as he uh pulls his knee up and slingshots you forward, uh and you uh you guys all go uh get to safety, you uh you fall, get thrown, roll into the group.
01:48:42.159 --> 01:48:57.760
Um, as you see this crack continues going to your guys' left, um as you see just this uh uh this section of earth about the size of a city block just uh falls into hell.
01:48:58.399 --> 01:48:59.359
As it were.
01:49:02.560 --> 01:49:04.079
That's fucked.
01:49:06.960 --> 01:49:08.640
I've had worse auditions.
01:49:10.319 --> 01:49:12.079
Michael, you gotta draw a line in the sand.
01:49:12.319 --> 01:49:16.079
That's like the fifth time this year you've saved my life.
01:49:16.720 --> 01:49:18.880
Uh and I'll I'll never stop.
01:49:19.199 --> 01:49:21.840
I owe you too much to just let you die.
01:49:22.079 --> 01:49:24.560
Oh, no, your debt is more than paid.
01:49:24.800 --> 01:49:26.000
I assure you.
01:49:26.239 --> 01:49:27.600
Except for Kiss.
01:49:28.239 --> 01:49:29.680
No, actually, yeah, that's fine.
01:49:29.840 --> 01:49:31.520
Yeah, it was a pretty big save.
01:49:31.680 --> 01:49:33.359
We're we're not quite even yet.
01:49:33.680 --> 01:49:34.000
Okay.
01:49:34.479 --> 01:49:36.000
Okay, I I appreciate it.
01:49:36.079 --> 01:49:39.359
Because I'm not I'm not comfortable just get just giving up yet.
01:49:39.760 --> 01:49:42.640
I still have so much to repay.
01:49:42.880 --> 01:49:43.279
Yeah.
01:49:43.520 --> 01:49:47.199
I'm gonna go up to Blair and be like, Blair, I'm so glad we survived this way.
01:49:47.279 --> 01:49:50.239
We can still do our two person show about the Wright brothers.
01:49:50.319 --> 01:49:52.640
Wait, I don't know if the Wright Brothers exist in this year.
01:49:55.119 --> 01:49:58.720
The right brothers can The Wright Brothers.
01:50:00.239 --> 01:50:03.359
Who famously invented trains.
01:50:04.239 --> 01:50:04.880
That's true.
01:50:06.159 --> 01:50:06.720
It's true.
01:50:07.039 --> 01:50:09.840
Yeah, and it's spelled R Iight.
01:50:10.479 --> 01:50:11.439
Yeah, R-It.
01:50:11.680 --> 01:50:12.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:50:15.439 --> 01:50:21.760
Yeah, like the Wright brothers like a like a sacred right, not like a brothers.
01:50:22.000 --> 01:50:22.239
Yes.
01:50:23.439 --> 01:50:27.840
Blair, once we make it out of this, we gotta start really start upping our riding time on the weekends.
01:50:28.159 --> 01:50:28.560
It's true.
01:50:28.640 --> 01:50:29.039
It's true.
01:50:29.359 --> 01:50:32.800
I've got at least three people who have said they want to come.
01:50:33.119 --> 01:50:34.000
Oh stop.
01:50:34.800 --> 01:50:36.560
I have the same three people.
01:50:38.079 --> 01:50:47.359
And as you guys stand up, you guys uh find yourself um maybe just another hour away from the uh from the bridge.
01:50:47.600 --> 01:50:55.760
Uh and on your walks, uh uh you approach um underneath the bridge.
01:50:56.000 --> 01:50:57.840
Tim, I'll pass this one back to you.
01:50:58.000 --> 01:50:58.319
Okay.
01:50:58.880 --> 01:51:18.960
Uh as you begin to walk up to the bridge, uh so when the suburbs of the city fell into hell, uh that weirdly enough, uh I I I like to think of it as like everyone knows that it happened.
01:51:19.680 --> 01:51:27.520
Like for some reason, no one remembers even what the suburbs looked like, much less where they actually were.
01:51:27.760 --> 01:51:30.479
Everyone just knows that they're gone now.
01:51:30.640 --> 01:51:43.680
And it happened sometime recently, but they're not really sure when the last time they were even in the suburbs were, much less what happened after this hole uh suddenly appeared.
01:51:45.119 --> 01:51:51.920
Many people went missing, they're never found, but you couldn't find someone who knew any of the addresses from the suburbs.
01:51:52.079 --> 01:52:05.840
It's almost as if not only did this place physically descend into hell, but even any memory of it and its denizens have seemingly also fallen into a pit of the psyche from which they might not ever emerge.
01:52:06.720 --> 01:52:26.800
So looking at this bridge, it's interesting because the architecture of the bridge belies something almost simpler uh in its construction, more wooden planks and well taken care of rivets than it is grand marble and glass like you'd find in a lot of the metropolitan areas of the city.
01:52:27.199 --> 01:52:41.119
It implies that the people who lived out here in the suburbs perhaps meant to get away from a lot of that hustle and bustle in the city, but to what end now that there's nothing here to show for it, much less nothing to remember.
01:52:42.159 --> 01:52:54.159
But uh as you gaze at this bridge and it strikes you the sort of uncanny nature of being somewhere that shouldn't be, you see a figure begin to approach out of the darkness.
01:52:55.840 --> 01:53:00.720
Hey, Virgil, is that you what you're doing, cousin, and coming over and giving you a big hug.
01:53:00.880 --> 01:53:01.840
Uh it's Dirgil.
01:53:02.000 --> 01:53:05.039
You haven't seen Dirgil since like a couple of family reunions ago.
01:53:05.359 --> 01:53:16.880
And whenever it comes to fur bogs, uh cousins, it's almost assumed that everyone is in some way, uh, if not linked by genetics, linked by culture, right?
01:53:17.039 --> 01:53:22.880
So whereas a lot of cultures might say something like, you know, uh everyone is brothers and sisters, you know, siblings to each other spiritually.
01:53:23.039 --> 01:53:25.920
Everyone in furbog culture, they're they're more like cousins, you know.
01:53:26.079 --> 01:53:29.039
It's cool to see what they're doing every now and then when you check back in with them.
01:53:29.119 --> 01:53:33.840
But you know, if you don't talk to them for you know six months, a year, it's not like it's the end of the world.
01:53:34.079 --> 01:53:34.880
Just like space.
01:53:36.159 --> 01:53:37.039
How's it going?
01:53:37.840 --> 01:53:40.960
Ah, Virgil, you know, just doing my thing.
01:53:41.359 --> 01:53:46.479
I uh I got a couple of uh really cool little doodads I got if you want to take a look at them.
01:53:48.000 --> 01:53:49.680
Sure, that yeah, that'd be great.
01:53:49.760 --> 01:53:52.720
Actually, uh we um wanted to talk a little bit.
01:53:52.880 --> 01:53:55.760
There there was this um particular thing we were looking for.
01:53:56.000 --> 01:53:56.720
Hey, hold on.
01:53:56.800 --> 01:53:58.319
Who the fuck's that little guy?
01:53:58.880 --> 01:54:03.039
No one, no one's no no no, I know who you are.
01:54:04.319 --> 01:54:09.680
I told you never to come around these parts again if I ever saw your face, your little dog dragon face.
01:54:10.000 --> 01:54:10.800
Oh god.
01:54:14.159 --> 01:54:20.960
As you see another uh fur bulg uh that's uh that has uh pulled around behind you guys.
01:54:21.119 --> 01:54:22.239
Um, I got him.
01:54:22.399 --> 01:54:25.279
Uh, and goes and just stands above you, Typhus.
01:54:25.680 --> 01:54:27.039
Uh, thanks, Gurgdul.
01:54:27.119 --> 01:54:28.800
I know that you always got my back.
01:54:29.920 --> 01:54:30.960
Yeah, yeah.
01:54:31.279 --> 01:54:34.319
Oh, go ahead and uh hold that little dude down.
01:54:34.399 --> 01:54:36.319
I don't want him taking anything from us again.
01:54:36.479 --> 01:54:45.840
After all, last time he's the one that stole that very important thing that I had just been sold, which is why I know that was my engagement ring, right?
01:54:48.560 --> 01:54:48.880
Right?
01:54:50.000 --> 01:54:51.119
Uh you know that, right?
01:54:51.680 --> 01:54:52.079
There's nothing.
01:54:52.479 --> 01:54:53.680
That was my engagement ring.
01:54:53.840 --> 01:54:54.960
I had to postpone it.
01:54:55.039 --> 01:54:56.479
I had a whole reservation.
01:54:56.640 --> 01:55:03.840
I had it took me two months to get that reservation, and then I had to postpone it because I didn't have a ring.
01:55:04.159 --> 01:55:07.760
I'm gonna tell you, I spent two months on that pipe bomb I was working on.
01:55:07.920 --> 01:55:14.560
I needed a little facet that was that size, and I just it was really it's really difficult to come across parts.
01:55:14.880 --> 01:55:16.319
Well, to extend no.
01:55:17.279 --> 01:55:18.880
You made a pipe bomb?
01:55:20.079 --> 01:55:22.720
Guys, guys, okay, Typhus is cool, alright?
01:55:23.039 --> 01:55:24.960
He's he's been he's been working on himself.
01:55:25.039 --> 01:55:29.119
He's really he's um that box been working on pipe bobs.
01:55:29.600 --> 01:55:31.119
It's worse like to me.
01:55:31.760 --> 01:55:32.560
Shut the fuck up.
01:55:32.960 --> 01:55:34.720
Actually, we have been working on ourselves.
01:55:34.880 --> 01:55:39.039
Speaking of which, here's our parole officer that's currently supervising us.
01:55:39.359 --> 01:55:46.239
Yeah, and then uh they both uh Gergil and Durgil like kind of glance over.
01:55:47.600 --> 01:55:50.720
You brought one of the clockwork enforcers here.
01:55:50.880 --> 01:55:53.119
What the fuck do you think you're doing?
01:55:54.079 --> 01:55:56.000
Look, I we we we had no choice, alright?
01:55:56.800 --> 01:56:01.359
We're looking for an artifact, and if we don't find this artifact, we are going to fuckil.
01:56:01.439 --> 01:56:03.439
Girl, come over here, get over here, Girl, Gurgil.
01:56:03.520 --> 01:56:04.640
Yeah, we're talking about the artifact.
01:56:07.840 --> 01:56:09.279
Guys, stop talking amongst yourselves.
01:56:09.359 --> 01:56:10.000
We're right here.
01:56:13.279 --> 01:56:20.880
No, I I know, I know we paid really good money for it, and it and it, you know, it just I mean it's die, you know.
01:56:21.680 --> 01:56:27.600
Yeah, I know, but like, even if you really consider like the ethical implications of like look, we invested a lot of capital into this thing, right?
01:56:27.680 --> 01:56:31.199
And I have to really consider whether or not that capital is worth these six people dying right now.
01:56:32.079 --> 01:56:34.079
And like that was enough for like a security deposit somewhere.
01:56:34.159 --> 01:56:34.720
So like I don't know.
01:56:35.760 --> 01:56:42.239
How much would you pay for a warhim thing guy?
01:56:44.880 --> 01:56:46.720
You're talking about the sorry, what was that?
01:56:47.039 --> 01:56:47.520
Deefer?
01:56:47.920 --> 01:56:51.039
Could we you talk about the Halbert 4-4?
01:56:52.079 --> 01:56:56.800
Yeah, so how much do one of those go for, say on the on the black market or any color market?
01:57:00.399 --> 01:57:01.520
Tell me, big guy.
01:57:02.479 --> 01:57:03.680
Uh tell me, big guy.
01:57:03.840 --> 01:57:04.880
He looks at Deefer.
01:57:05.119 --> 01:57:09.279
Uh you uh looks kinda like it.
01:57:09.520 --> 01:57:10.159
Looks around.
01:57:10.399 --> 01:57:12.560
You connected to the network right now.
01:57:13.520 --> 01:57:19.520
The mainframe is That's his partner.
01:57:20.239 --> 01:57:21.600
They're very much in love.
01:57:22.000 --> 01:57:23.840
He never finishes the sentence.
01:57:24.000 --> 01:57:24.479
No, no, no.
01:57:24.640 --> 01:57:25.199
He does.
01:57:25.439 --> 01:57:33.920
He's he'll he'll go around back uh and he'll he'll kinda uh he's gonna let me just uh give a quick roll.
01:57:34.239 --> 01:57:46.720
Uh yeah, no, it uh he looks like he uh just really um uh with a slide of hand like disconnects like a quick panel and he peeks inside.
01:57:47.439 --> 01:57:48.159
He's remote.
01:57:48.479 --> 01:57:50.399
He's not connected, he's not surveilled.
01:57:52.560 --> 01:57:53.039
Whoa.
01:57:53.600 --> 01:57:53.920
Oh?
01:57:54.159 --> 01:57:57.119
So this hey Yeah.
01:57:58.319 --> 01:58:01.119
Alright, alright, I can pick an updating putting down to that Gergil.
01:58:01.439 --> 01:58:02.159
No, no, no.
01:58:02.239 --> 01:58:05.439
I mean yeah, no, I mean the artifact is taken out of here.
01:58:09.119 --> 01:58:12.239
No, that thing could go for the tree of the artifacts.
01:58:12.640 --> 01:58:13.119
That's what I'm saying.
01:58:13.199 --> 01:58:14.880
That's like three security deposits.
01:58:15.279 --> 01:58:16.000
Yeah, yeah.
01:58:16.159 --> 01:58:18.560
We could get a more safe way of getting out of here.
01:58:18.960 --> 01:58:19.760
Yeah, I like that.
01:58:20.000 --> 01:58:21.039
Here, I'll tell you what.
01:58:21.279 --> 01:58:23.520
Let's see if we can pull a fast one on these guys.
01:58:23.840 --> 01:58:25.199
Alright, folks.
01:58:25.359 --> 01:58:29.920
And look, I've been thinking, we've been we've been doing some value propositions on the side over here.
01:58:30.000 --> 01:58:37.359
Uh I don't want you to think that we were doing anything untowards, of course, but what we decided is now that you mention it, this what what'd you call him?
01:58:37.520 --> 01:58:38.000
Deefer?
01:58:38.399 --> 01:58:46.960
Uh this deefer seems as though it would be a pretty a pretty good little trade for um for for what exactly are y'all looking for out of it?
01:58:47.039 --> 01:58:48.960
Just out of curiosity.
01:58:49.439 --> 01:58:50.800
Oh, an artifact.
01:58:51.039 --> 01:58:54.560
Yeah, the artifact my cousin Muffin sold his soldier.
01:58:55.039 --> 01:58:56.800
The titular artifact?
01:58:59.039 --> 01:59:03.119
Really kind of still up in the air what the artifact is.
01:59:03.279 --> 01:59:09.760
We've had some theories that was in the group circulating around, but honestly, I would prefer an array of artifacts.
01:59:11.119 --> 01:59:13.760
Are they talking about that bomb that we picked up the other week?
01:59:14.159 --> 01:59:16.079
Yeah, I think they're probably thinking talking about that bong.
01:59:16.319 --> 01:59:17.199
They're probably talking about that bong.
01:59:17.359 --> 01:59:18.720
It doesn't tarnish or anything.
01:59:18.960 --> 01:59:19.520
Yeah, yeah.
01:59:19.840 --> 01:59:24.239
It might be but the artifact you guys are they saying bomb or bomb?
01:59:24.560 --> 01:59:25.199
I make bombs.
01:59:25.600 --> 01:59:27.920
Bong, the thing we smoked out of in college.
01:59:28.159 --> 01:59:33.760
I kind of think Arnold, you know it's definitely not the bomb.
01:59:34.560 --> 01:59:38.880
It's it's not the bug that I sold you later.
01:59:39.119 --> 01:59:42.880
It's what I sold you guys a few months before that.
01:59:43.119 --> 01:59:58.960
Oh, you mean this and uh the procures out of nowhere uh something that looks like a tiny puzzle box, and then uh Dirgil's going to look over at Gurgil and give a big one of these artifacts, right?
02:00:00.000 --> 02:00:01.119
Wait, I sorry.
02:00:02.159 --> 02:00:02.479
Oh.
02:00:04.560 --> 02:00:06.399
One of these artifacts, this artifact, right?
02:00:06.800 --> 02:00:07.600
That artifact.
02:00:07.920 --> 02:00:08.960
Yeah, that guy right there.
02:00:09.359 --> 02:00:10.720
This one's the one you're talking about, right?
02:00:10.800 --> 02:00:13.680
Yeah, we'll trade this for this uh this D for fella you got.
02:00:14.079 --> 02:00:17.600
I would like to roll insight on my two cousins.
02:00:18.479 --> 02:00:19.520
Yeah, go for it.
02:00:20.239 --> 02:00:21.760
Can I provide the help action?
02:00:21.840 --> 02:00:30.319
Because I've I've pulled one over on uh these motherfuckers, and I know for a fact that they would pull some stupid shit.
02:00:30.560 --> 02:00:31.520
Was it the winking?
02:00:31.840 --> 02:00:32.960
Was that what gave it away?
02:00:33.199 --> 02:00:35.119
No, they're just pieces of shit.
02:00:36.479 --> 02:00:39.119
It might just be an artifact that makes you wink.
02:00:39.359 --> 02:00:41.920
Um so uh how does the help action work?
02:00:42.000 --> 02:00:43.600
Or do like you advantage.
02:00:45.600 --> 02:00:46.560
Alright, come on.
02:00:47.920 --> 02:00:50.880
Yeah, Virgil, I don't know if I would trust your cousins or not.
02:00:50.960 --> 02:00:55.439
I mean, I lied to them when I sold them the artifact, but I don't think they're being straight with us right now.
02:00:55.680 --> 02:00:57.199
Alright, I 16.
02:00:58.800 --> 02:00:59.920
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:01:00.000 --> 02:01:02.560
No, definitely it isn't just the winks.
02:01:02.640 --> 02:01:05.439
Like these guys uh they've never been honest a day in their life.
02:01:05.520 --> 02:01:07.600
They ain't being honest now, you know it.
02:01:08.239 --> 02:01:10.399
Alright, guys, now hang on a moment.
02:01:12.000 --> 02:01:15.119
Did they say that the that Deefer is remote?
02:01:15.199 --> 02:01:17.439
He's not connected to the mainframe at all.
02:01:19.359 --> 02:01:21.039
Well, uh not currently.
02:01:21.199 --> 02:01:22.319
He's a remote unit.
02:01:22.560 --> 02:01:26.960
We're out of range of the radius of the the main uh main uh units.
02:01:27.039 --> 02:01:27.760
That's why he's so big.
02:01:28.000 --> 02:01:32.960
So you're telling me that we could that he actually we could just cut and run and he wouldn't have to.
02:01:33.680 --> 02:01:35.840
Oh no, he'll blow you the bits before you meet him.
02:01:36.000 --> 02:01:36.640
Yeah, I know he's gonna be able to do it.
02:01:37.760 --> 02:01:38.239
Absolute bits.
02:01:38.960 --> 02:01:41.199
I don't even right to hell.
02:01:41.359 --> 02:01:41.680
Yeah.
02:01:43.279 --> 02:01:43.760
Bits.
02:01:44.239 --> 02:01:44.479
Okay.
02:01:45.199 --> 02:01:47.600
A bunch of little fireproof bits, you know?
02:01:49.439 --> 02:01:50.239
So what do you say?
02:01:50.399 --> 02:01:51.359
We got a deal.
02:01:51.680 --> 02:01:54.000
You two, I know you're full of shit.
02:01:55.279 --> 02:01:55.920
I got us.
02:01:56.079 --> 02:01:57.039
Alright, Virgil.
02:01:57.199 --> 02:01:57.520
Alright.
02:01:58.720 --> 02:02:04.079
You're talking about this artifact, and he pulls out like the same box he just like changed hands behind his back.
02:02:04.399 --> 02:02:05.439
It's the same thing.
02:02:05.760 --> 02:02:06.800
I think the same box.
02:02:07.600 --> 02:02:11.840
I want to grab that puzzle box and fucking chuck it into the abyss.
02:02:14.399 --> 02:02:16.399
Hey, Dirgil.
02:02:17.119 --> 02:02:17.600
Alright.
02:02:17.840 --> 02:02:19.279
They just threw my box, man.
02:02:19.600 --> 02:02:20.319
I I know.
02:02:20.560 --> 02:02:22.000
Virgil, that was my fucking box.
02:02:22.319 --> 02:02:25.840
I am going to die if you two do not help me with this, alright?
02:02:26.000 --> 02:02:29.119
If we're fucking cousins, then you fucking help me.
02:02:30.000 --> 02:02:30.479
Alright.
02:02:30.720 --> 02:02:33.279
Does that mean you'll owe us a favor?
02:02:35.520 --> 02:02:36.800
I'll owe you a favor.
02:02:37.279 --> 02:02:38.239
Don't do it, Blair.
02:02:38.399 --> 02:02:40.560
These guys you owe us a favor, perfect.
02:02:41.359 --> 02:02:44.560
Virgil, remember what they said about favors between cousins.
02:02:45.600 --> 02:02:46.560
Dead forever.
02:02:46.800 --> 02:02:47.760
There forever.
02:02:47.920 --> 02:02:49.279
Just like cousinhood.
02:02:49.520 --> 02:02:51.600
Wait, but I wasn't the one that said it.
02:02:52.960 --> 02:02:54.319
We'll take care of this for you.
02:02:54.479 --> 02:03:12.479
And uh uh uh Dirgil's gonna like walk around to the edge in like that same panel that Gurgil was looking at earlier, is just going to like pull a small vial out of like uh a little pocket in his loosely fitting pinstriped, um, but very, very dirty like slacks.
02:03:12.640 --> 02:03:36.880
And he's just going to uh like it sounds like a little and then he just drops the vial in, and then there is a small explosion followed by rancid blue smoke as uh the Halbert 44 unit uh absolutely starts to melt down on the inside until this is the function and uh it still it topples over on its uh large stilts.
02:03:37.680 --> 02:03:40.960
It killed the how are we gonna use it now?
02:03:42.159 --> 02:03:43.840
You know, I didn't ever really thought about it.
02:03:43.920 --> 02:03:46.560
I didn't think it'd be that I didn't think it'd be like that.
02:03:46.720 --> 02:03:49.680
I thought it was just gonna like fucking Oh my oh my god.
02:03:49.920 --> 02:03:51.439
Well, let me see the bottle.
02:03:51.680 --> 02:03:52.560
Let me see the bottle you use.
02:03:52.640 --> 02:03:53.039
Let me see the bottom.
02:03:54.319 --> 02:03:56.000
I'm gonna hand you another one.
02:03:57.840 --> 02:03:59.199
What was this the wrong one?
02:03:59.359 --> 02:04:00.560
Yeah, this is the wrong one.
02:04:00.640 --> 02:04:03.279
You're supposed to use the one that's the size of a pee.
02:04:04.479 --> 02:04:06.960
Oh right, the P one, the P one.
02:04:07.039 --> 02:04:08.000
You mentioned the P one.
02:04:08.079 --> 02:04:08.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:04:09.119 --> 02:04:10.079
The P one, the P one.
02:04:10.800 --> 02:04:12.079
It's um well.
02:04:12.640 --> 02:04:14.079
You think they're gonna be mad?
02:04:14.880 --> 02:04:16.399
We killed a cop, yeah, probably.
02:04:19.279 --> 02:04:19.920
That's true.
02:04:21.119 --> 02:04:24.720
At least we got a favor out of it, and you know what they say about favors between cousins?
02:04:25.119 --> 02:04:28.560
We we we might be able to be able to just.
02:04:29.199 --> 02:04:30.640
I wasn't the one that made the favor.
02:04:31.119 --> 02:04:31.680
Uh yeah.
02:04:31.840 --> 02:04:33.520
Well, anyway, uh that was that was a lot of fun.
02:04:33.600 --> 02:04:34.720
Good doing business with y'all.
02:04:34.800 --> 02:04:38.640
Uh the fact we need the artifact.
02:04:39.039 --> 02:04:39.760
Oh, you mean this?
02:04:39.840 --> 02:04:41.520
And he pulls out another puzzle box.
02:04:41.840 --> 02:04:42.800
Shut up.
02:04:43.039 --> 02:04:44.000
That's the edge of the book.
02:04:44.319 --> 02:04:51.359
This one's a this one's a illusion, and then you just uh no, yeah, no.
02:04:51.439 --> 02:04:52.960
I mean, it's inside.
02:04:53.039 --> 02:04:53.600
It's inside.
02:04:53.680 --> 02:04:56.399
We'll uh we'll uh we can show it to you.
02:04:56.640 --> 02:04:57.199
Yeah, yeah.
02:04:57.279 --> 02:04:58.479
Just uh just come with us.
02:04:58.560 --> 02:05:05.840
And they're both going to uh step backwards off the the the ledge that's immediately behind the bridge and just fall.
02:05:07.680 --> 02:05:08.640
No way.
02:05:08.880 --> 02:05:11.279
Your cousins are fucking nuts, Virgil.
02:05:11.760 --> 02:05:14.000
I'd go I go to look down where they fell.
02:05:16.000 --> 02:05:26.880
Uh you can see that about 35 feet down or so, there's a small inlet, and just as you peek over, you can see them both uh do their it's not misty step.
02:05:26.960 --> 02:05:28.399
What do Furwalls have?
02:05:28.880 --> 02:05:31.039
Uh they a hidden step, right?
02:05:31.439 --> 02:05:33.039
I don't have that, but right now at least.
02:05:33.199 --> 02:05:34.159
Oh no, I do have hidden step.
02:05:34.239 --> 02:05:35.279
Oh my god, I have hidden step.
02:05:35.439 --> 02:05:41.760
I'll say that you can you can watch them sort of like teleport themselves backwards what appears to be straight into the cliff face.
02:05:43.840 --> 02:05:44.159
Okay.
02:05:44.640 --> 02:05:46.000
I fall straight off.
02:05:46.319 --> 02:05:51.439
It'd be rude not to we don't want to be bad guess, and I step off too.
02:05:52.880 --> 02:05:55.520
Alright, well, guess what we're going right off the edge.
02:05:56.239 --> 02:05:57.840
This is uh crazy.
02:05:58.880 --> 02:06:09.279
Uh everyone who steps off, you find yourself colliding with an in like what appears to be just a straight up invisible wall about 30 like that that same distance down.
02:06:09.520 --> 02:06:14.800
Uh and uh that's going to hurt, I think, at least most of you.
02:06:15.039 --> 02:06:16.640
Hey, I landed a little bit.
02:06:16.960 --> 02:06:17.279
Yeah.
02:06:17.520 --> 02:06:24.239
Uh if you if you want to roll, if you want to roll acrobatics to see how gracefully, just for the narrative's sake, uh you land.
02:06:24.880 --> 02:06:26.319
About say most of you.
02:06:26.479 --> 02:06:28.239
I again, we'll we'll let's see how it goes.
02:06:28.319 --> 02:06:28.880
Let's see how it goes.
02:06:28.960 --> 02:06:30.079
Yeah, we'll do this in order.
02:06:30.399 --> 02:06:31.119
Dude, watch it.
02:06:31.600 --> 02:06:32.479
Oh my dice.
02:06:32.800 --> 02:06:34.720
Is everyone just jumping down?
02:06:35.039 --> 02:06:36.640
Uh I'm gonna climb.
02:06:36.880 --> 02:06:38.239
Oh, typhus, you go.
02:06:38.399 --> 02:06:40.880
I I was gonna ask if I could hit a quick feather fall.
02:06:41.119 --> 02:06:42.159
Oh, really?
02:06:42.560 --> 02:06:43.359
Oh, hell yeah.
02:06:43.600 --> 02:06:44.560
Can you hit everyone?
02:06:46.079 --> 02:06:48.560
Is it that AoE spell we're talking about?
02:06:49.600 --> 02:06:50.720
Yeah, yeah.
02:06:51.760 --> 02:06:56.640
Uh I'm gonna carefully uh climb down.
02:06:56.960 --> 02:06:57.359
All right.
02:06:57.520 --> 02:06:58.000
You gotcha.
02:06:58.159 --> 02:07:06.399
Um you yeah, you you see that um as Typhus jumps off, and I think uh Sylvia and Blair uh jump off as well.
02:07:06.640 --> 02:07:24.960
You guys are all start plummeting and then you go to like a slow kind of uh um glide down as the rest of you guys see these little uh these little uh clockwork like birds, uh like illusions kind of fluttering around you guys.
02:07:27.439 --> 02:07:29.439
Oh well crap, should I not have climbed down?
02:07:29.840 --> 02:07:30.399
Yeah, whatever.
02:07:30.640 --> 02:07:39.680
Yeah, about to say by the time you make it down, everyone's like you about to say uh whenever everyone makes it to that bottom, like sort of invisible plane, and Arnold, uh, did you jump down as well or are you just sort of looking?
02:07:40.239 --> 02:07:42.000
Arnold was going to climb down.
02:07:42.079 --> 02:07:45.039
He's got the he's got the claws and the he's got the body for climbing.
02:07:45.680 --> 02:07:47.039
He would have climbed 100%.
02:07:47.359 --> 02:07:48.079
Yeah, hell yeah.
02:07:48.239 --> 02:08:11.119
Uh all right, well you know, y'all manage to make it down uh all in one piece, and you see that inset into this cliff face is in fact what appears to be a simple door that has simple iron hinges, and whenever Durgil and Gurgil open it up, it appears to be into a seemingly normal room in a seemingly normal house.
02:08:13.359 --> 02:08:13.920
Oh no.
02:08:15.840 --> 02:08:17.199
I'm gonna stroll in.
02:08:18.880 --> 02:08:20.079
Yeah, it makes no sense.
02:08:20.159 --> 02:08:20.319
Yeah.
02:08:20.720 --> 02:08:25.039
You walk in and you go, This place seems really familiar.
02:08:25.600 --> 02:08:37.039
Something about it as you pass through that door awakens something in your mind that you can't quite figure out what it was, but uh at least you feel pretty pretty safe here.
02:08:38.399 --> 02:08:44.399
Is this where I went to that weird casting director's dinner where everyone took off their clothes and began doing the Mac Arena?
02:08:44.800 --> 02:08:46.880
That wasn't a casting director thing.
02:08:46.960 --> 02:08:47.920
That was a different thing.
02:08:48.079 --> 02:08:49.760
We told you not to go to that.
02:08:50.079 --> 02:08:54.479
Oh must have repressed that.
02:08:56.159 --> 02:08:59.520
Maybe it's better to remember it as a casting director thing.
02:08:59.680 --> 02:08:59.840
Yeah.
02:09:00.159 --> 02:09:00.880
Yes, you're right.
02:09:01.119 --> 02:09:02.399
Memory edited.
02:09:03.039 --> 02:09:03.920
Amazing.
02:09:04.159 --> 02:09:16.319
Uh inside this room, it appears as though, like, for all intents and purposes, it looks like a pretty cookie-cutter house, one of many that must have existed in these suburbs whenever uh they were still topside.
02:09:16.800 --> 02:09:18.479
Whenever they were still topside.
02:09:19.039 --> 02:09:21.600
Surely they must still be topside, right?
02:09:22.000 --> 02:09:31.439
You are in the suburbs, and the suburbs are your mind aches a little bit too much as you go to think about something perhaps better left unsaid.
02:09:31.520 --> 02:09:37.279
You are safe here, and as Gurgil and Dirgil shut the door behind the party as you all make it in.
02:09:38.159 --> 02:09:40.960
They uh they share a knowing glance between each other.
02:09:41.359 --> 02:09:42.560
Give me drinks.
02:09:42.720 --> 02:09:45.600
I've been walking for like six hours and I'm ahead for the fridge.
02:09:47.840 --> 02:09:48.399
Right about now.
02:09:48.560 --> 02:09:49.199
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:09:49.279 --> 02:09:54.000
Uh there's uh don't take my wiser that's in there.
02:09:54.079 --> 02:09:58.079
I got skimweiser light, and it's hard to get.
02:10:00.159 --> 02:10:01.279
Oh boy.
02:10:02.640 --> 02:10:04.880
Otherwise, there's three gallons of milk, so.
02:10:05.199 --> 02:10:05.680
Alright.
02:10:06.159 --> 02:10:07.199
I think that's all there is in there.
02:10:13.199 --> 02:10:15.199
As you guys wait!
02:10:17.039 --> 02:10:17.600
Alright.
02:10:17.840 --> 02:10:24.319
Um, and they they seem to be talking over uh over just uh I'd I'd say kind of in their hallway.
02:10:24.800 --> 02:10:25.359
Alright.
02:10:27.680 --> 02:10:31.680
I think we just take them to the I mean they're looking for the cuter.
02:10:32.560 --> 02:10:32.960
Yeah.
02:10:33.199 --> 02:10:33.760
Yeah, yeah.
02:10:33.920 --> 02:10:34.640
I mean, obviously.
02:10:34.720 --> 02:10:35.840
I mean, what else would they be working for?
02:10:36.079 --> 02:10:41.760
That's I mean, that was that big box that uh muffins sent us or whatever he sold us.
02:10:42.159 --> 02:10:42.319
Yeah.
02:10:43.600 --> 02:10:44.640
I'll tell you what.
02:10:44.800 --> 02:10:48.880
Uh realistically, we can just let Muffin decide what to deal with them.
02:10:49.199 --> 02:10:51.600
I mean Muffin's the boss.
02:10:52.319 --> 02:10:53.119
Muffins here?
02:10:54.479 --> 02:10:56.159
You mean Muffin's the top?
02:10:59.039 --> 02:11:02.159
Gergil, I'm afraid that we have a couple of flies on the wall.
02:11:02.239 --> 02:11:04.800
Uh tell you what, why don't y'all come with us down?
02:11:04.880 --> 02:11:06.640
We we want we have somebody we want y'all to meet.
02:11:06.720 --> 02:11:09.359
Some somebody that I think will clear up a lot of things for you.
02:11:09.680 --> 02:11:10.159
Perfect.
02:11:10.319 --> 02:11:10.960
Come on.
02:11:11.279 --> 02:11:11.840
Alright.
02:11:12.479 --> 02:11:13.119
Hang on a minute.
02:11:15.359 --> 02:11:17.760
Who sold the artifact to the muffin originally?
02:11:18.079 --> 02:11:18.399
Me.
02:11:18.640 --> 02:11:19.039
Arnold.
02:11:19.359 --> 02:11:19.600
That's right.
02:11:19.840 --> 02:11:20.159
Arnold.
02:11:20.479 --> 02:11:24.000
What can you what can you tell us, Arnold, about um about this muffin?
02:11:24.079 --> 02:11:26.319
Is he is he a swathy fellow?
02:11:26.640 --> 02:11:28.000
He's a dick.
02:11:28.479 --> 02:11:35.520
He's my second most famous cousin, and he kind of thinks he's better than everyone just because he's like a year older than us.
02:11:35.760 --> 02:11:44.560
And like, yeah, he's like he kind of got into like selling illegal stuff on the black market before all of us did, and he kind of like held it over everyone's head.
02:11:44.640 --> 02:11:48.079
He's like, Oh, if you want to get selling stuff in the black market, you gotta do it through me.
02:11:48.159 --> 02:11:49.119
And I was like, Come on, man.
02:11:49.199 --> 02:11:50.720
I'm like trying to build start my own car.
02:11:51.039 --> 02:11:53.199
Yeah, he's he's an asshole.
02:11:53.760 --> 02:11:55.680
That's buffing for you, though.
02:11:56.399 --> 02:11:58.319
Looks like we all have asshole cousins.
02:11:58.560 --> 02:11:59.600
Yeah, no kidding.
02:12:00.640 --> 02:12:02.800
You can say that again.
02:12:03.439 --> 02:12:14.479
As the as they open the front door, what would be the front door to the house, you see that it actually does, in fact, open up to what appears to be clear skies, houses as far as the eye can see.
02:12:14.720 --> 02:12:19.439
This is the realm of suburbia as you remember it.
02:12:19.520 --> 02:12:23.279
And you find yourself definitely remembering it.
02:12:23.439 --> 02:12:26.159
Hell, there's that bridge, the one that connects to the city.
02:12:26.239 --> 02:12:27.600
It's within sight.
02:12:30.640 --> 02:12:31.199
Wait a minute.
02:12:31.439 --> 02:12:32.079
Wait a minute.
02:12:34.239 --> 02:12:34.880
Come on, y'all.
02:12:34.960 --> 02:12:36.560
We got somebody you need to meet.
02:12:39.359 --> 02:12:39.680
Okay.
02:12:41.119 --> 02:12:46.560
How are we wait I but uh oh god.
02:12:50.319 --> 02:12:51.520
Onward and upward.
02:12:51.760 --> 02:12:53.119
Onward and upward.
02:12:54.319 --> 02:12:56.399
So I'm sure y'all guys all heard the rumors, right?
02:12:56.640 --> 02:13:01.119
Uh Gergil, yeah, I remember whenever you first uh you slipped down here through the cracks.
02:13:01.359 --> 02:13:03.439
Oh yeah, the suburbs went to hell.
02:13:03.520 --> 02:13:04.880
That's what they all say.
02:13:08.159 --> 02:13:08.640
Yeah, sorry.
02:13:08.800 --> 02:13:10.079
I thought it was like literal.
02:13:10.239 --> 02:13:11.039
Oh, it is.
02:13:11.119 --> 02:13:12.000
Never mind.
02:13:12.880 --> 02:13:16.239
Look, all I know is when I'm here, I feel safe.
02:13:16.319 --> 02:13:18.800
And whenever I'm safe, I can make better deals.
02:13:18.960 --> 02:13:20.880
So I'd rather be here than in the city.
02:13:21.039 --> 02:13:23.359
I can't say I've ever felt safe there.
02:13:24.000 --> 02:13:24.640
Hmm.
02:13:27.840 --> 02:13:29.039
Are y'all coming or what?
02:13:29.359 --> 02:13:29.840
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:13:30.720 --> 02:13:31.760
I'm already walking in.
02:13:32.079 --> 02:13:33.359
Where's the muffman?
02:13:33.520 --> 02:13:34.239
Does he like that?
02:13:34.319 --> 02:13:34.960
Should I call him that?
02:13:37.680 --> 02:13:41.760
He started trying to call himself that like back when we were in high school, and it didn't really take off.
02:13:41.840 --> 02:13:48.000
So if you bring that up unwarranted or like unprompted, that'll yeah, that actually probably sweeten the deal for us.
02:13:49.119 --> 02:13:50.079
Write that down.
02:13:50.399 --> 02:13:53.840
Yes, and that's workshop the muffin man versus the muffin man.
02:13:54.079 --> 02:13:56.960
Yeah, the muffin man that sounds more singular.
02:13:57.520 --> 02:13:58.640
Yeah, the muffman.
02:13:59.680 --> 02:14:01.039
Not the muffin man.
02:14:01.359 --> 02:14:01.920
Different thing.
02:14:02.079 --> 02:14:03.760
He's not gonna like the muffin band.
02:14:04.720 --> 02:14:06.720
Try both ways and we'll see which one he takes.
02:14:06.960 --> 02:14:08.720
Try it, try the buff band first.
02:14:08.880 --> 02:14:10.399
Yeah, maybe things have changed.
02:14:10.479 --> 02:14:37.279
Uh you guys are taken to uh the the house next door, uh, and uh this uh this is a this is a large house, a nice big uh I'd probably say a bit more of a like a modest uh uh like three-story built three-story house uh with this uh nice big tall uh picket fence around the back side of it.
02:14:37.520 --> 02:14:52.800
Uh and uh Gurgil and Dirgil take you around to the side of the house, open up one of uh the gates there, and you guys see this nice big lush uh garden.
02:14:53.359 --> 02:15:01.439
Uh and uh Arnold, you see your cousin mittens tending to this garden.
02:15:04.000 --> 02:15:05.279
Where's Muffin?
02:15:05.840 --> 02:15:06.800
Mittens.
02:15:07.039 --> 02:15:13.439
Muffins, sorry, sorry, Muffins is there, mittens is there, mittens is there.
02:15:13.520 --> 02:15:14.960
Yeah, Mittens is also there.
02:15:15.920 --> 02:15:22.640
Mittens, uh your other cousin that that he took under that muffins took under the shoulder, uh, is uh is there.
02:15:22.800 --> 02:15:25.760
It's like uh Gurgil be like, alright.
02:15:26.239 --> 02:15:27.119
Head on in.
02:15:27.199 --> 02:15:35.600
Uh and they uh Gurgil and Dirgil just go over there and uh help themselves to a bar uh that's uh over to the side.
02:15:39.199 --> 02:15:42.239
Wait, so this this guy's your cousin too, Arnold?
02:15:42.399 --> 02:15:44.560
Yeah, I've I have like multiple cousins.
02:15:44.880 --> 02:15:48.399
I mean, yeah, that's normal, but like Yeah, yeah, I know.
02:15:49.199 --> 02:15:52.319
They live with their mom still, it kind of seems like a mom's house.
02:15:52.560 --> 02:15:53.359
I I don't know.
02:15:53.520 --> 02:16:09.039
I I maybe muffins uh muffins will stand up from uh he's like uh planting um some vegetables in a a garden, kind of takes off these uh these uh gloves that he's wearing.
02:16:10.399 --> 02:16:16.159
Arnold, it's um nice to finally uh see you again.
02:16:16.239 --> 02:16:17.760
It's been a while.
02:16:18.319 --> 02:16:20.319
Is this mittens or muffins?
02:16:20.479 --> 02:16:21.279
Sorry, mittens.
02:16:21.439 --> 02:16:22.239
Muffin, muffin.
02:16:22.399 --> 02:16:23.840
Okay, I say mittens muffins.

02:16:32.000 --> 02:16:32.319
Okay.
02:16:32.559 --> 02:16:34.879
But muffins, very muffins is.
02:17:59.360 --> 02:18:03.760
You could help sell tickets, and then everybody gets to kind of live their lifestyle.
02:18:04.159 --> 02:18:07.120
Wait a second, is that is it just the four of you doing that whole show?
02:18:07.360 --> 02:18:07.760
That's right.
02:18:08.079 --> 02:18:09.520
We're all playing Willie Loman.
02:18:10.079 --> 02:18:10.319
Yep.
02:18:10.639 --> 02:18:13.760
It's called it's Death of a Salesman for Willie Lohman's edition.
02:18:14.159 --> 02:18:14.799
Yes.
02:18:15.040 --> 02:18:17.040
And I'm gonna try to be dad.
02:18:17.200 --> 02:18:19.760
I think there's a dad, and I'm gonna be that one.
02:18:20.079 --> 02:18:20.959
Willie Loman?
02:18:21.440 --> 02:18:22.399
Yeah, Willie Loman.
02:18:22.639 --> 02:18:23.360
Yeah, yeah, the dad.
02:18:23.760 --> 02:18:24.000
Yes.
02:18:24.319 --> 02:18:24.799
Yep.
02:18:27.200 --> 02:18:29.200
So uh just real quick.
02:18:29.440 --> 02:18:36.159
Um, are so these are are they just talking to the four theater people over here, kind of as a group?
02:18:36.399 --> 02:18:38.239
You're I mean you're you're up there with them.
02:18:38.399 --> 02:18:38.639
Yeah.
02:18:38.799 --> 02:18:39.120
Okay.
02:18:39.440 --> 02:18:41.840
But you're not the center of attention if that's what you're asking.
02:18:42.079 --> 02:18:42.319
Yeah.
02:18:42.559 --> 02:18:47.520
I c I kinda I'm kind of a little more like, where the fuck am I?
02:18:47.760 --> 02:18:54.559
So I'm kind of being paying more attention to my surroundings more so than this house.
02:18:54.879 --> 02:18:57.680
That calls for an investigation check, Chase Bernard.
02:18:58.319 --> 02:19:01.600
I would I would very much like to do an investigation check.
02:19:01.680 --> 02:19:04.719
Uh what is that?
02:19:05.280 --> 02:19:07.520
Uh okay, that is ah, great.
02:19:07.600 --> 02:19:09.600
Yeah, intelligence, which I have a zero in.
02:19:10.399 --> 02:19:12.000
So it's just up to the dice real.
02:19:12.959 --> 02:19:14.399
That is a straight up ten.
02:19:15.120 --> 02:19:15.600
A ten.
02:19:16.079 --> 02:19:26.319
Uh the only thing that strikes you about all of this immediate surroundings is that it it it looks weirdly perfect.
02:19:27.520 --> 02:19:28.879
Just how you remember it.
02:19:29.520 --> 02:19:31.840
The suburbs, where you all came from.
02:19:34.959 --> 02:19:36.799
You came from the suburbs, right?
02:19:38.879 --> 02:19:42.079
I would like to do an insight check on myself.
02:19:43.200 --> 02:19:44.959
Uh we well, let's hold off on that.
02:19:45.120 --> 02:19:45.840
Let's uh Okay.
02:19:46.079 --> 02:19:46.879
Let's yeah.
02:19:48.159 --> 02:19:52.159
We have set up that you are you know, we're we're we're somewhere with that.
02:19:52.479 --> 02:19:52.719
Yeah.
02:19:52.959 --> 02:19:55.040
Okay, I'm I'm brought to the reflection.
02:19:55.600 --> 02:19:56.399
I'm ruined with it.
02:19:56.639 --> 02:20:06.000
So Arnold assuming you came for uh the little uh little artifact you you had sold me previously.
02:20:07.920 --> 02:20:09.120
Yeah, that's Web here.
02:20:09.360 --> 02:20:12.479
The puzzle box with the IKEA instructions in it.
02:20:12.799 --> 02:20:17.120
Yeah, well, uh turned out to be a little bit bigger.
02:20:17.280 --> 02:20:21.280
We got to kind of a um uh a point.
02:20:22.239 --> 02:20:23.440
Let me just let me just show.
02:20:24.079 --> 02:20:41.680
Um as uh he uh kind of takes you back um to the back of his uh garden and you see it's uh opens up to this big gazebo here in the back uh with uh a whole bunch of other plants and everything in here.
02:20:41.760 --> 02:20:59.040
You see this fountain in the middle uh shooting up water, um, and you can you can you can hear like um uh there's some birds in the background, but you can almost feel like you can hear some violin, but as you look around, you don't you don't see anyone playing.
02:20:59.200 --> 02:21:04.719
Uh maybe there's some speakers or something like that, but uh uh real fancy stuff.
02:21:05.040 --> 02:21:05.840
You see.
02:21:07.200 --> 02:21:13.360
And he kind of leads you back to a uh big ol' uh this big box of scraps.
02:21:13.440 --> 02:21:20.479
You can see um the box that you had previously sold him was probably about four by four inches, right?
02:21:21.040 --> 02:21:24.559
Um and it had this particular design.
02:21:24.719 --> 02:21:30.479
Um what what's probably it has a whole bunch of uh little little um designs on the side.
02:21:30.559 --> 02:21:36.079
What's the one that like really caught your eye that to where you know this is the artifact?
02:21:37.920 --> 02:22:00.719
It was a Rubik's Cube-shaped thing, but all of the designs were uh like some of like the least popular emojis, and I see the uh the uh the the the devil frowny face, like little purple emoji on the side.
02:22:01.520 --> 02:22:02.159
I know that guy.
02:22:02.319 --> 02:22:03.120
Yeah, yeah.
02:22:03.360 --> 02:22:04.479
Yeah, that right there.
02:22:04.639 --> 02:22:04.959
All right.
02:22:05.120 --> 02:22:05.520
There it is.
02:22:05.760 --> 02:22:22.159
Uh and as you see it, um, you actually can see um as uh the uh it's much larger than it was before, and it seems like a couple of the pieces have been moved to where it's no longer a cube.
02:22:22.239 --> 02:22:26.239
It almost looks like it had folded out of itself.
02:22:27.200 --> 02:22:44.479
Um so look, you guys, Dirgil and Girgil told me you guys owe us a favor, and for that favor and for the uh Halbert 44 upstairs, we give you the artifact back.
02:22:45.040 --> 02:22:46.559
We can't figure it out.
02:22:47.200 --> 02:22:52.479
Um, so yeah, yeah.
02:22:52.639 --> 02:22:55.680
If you guys can put it together, you guys can have it.
02:22:56.719 --> 02:22:59.120
What do you what do you mean you can't figure it out?
02:22:59.840 --> 02:23:15.120
Uh he takes and he pulls this uh almost looks like a uh a stack of um of papers that looks like it's some sort of like uh Congress document.
02:23:16.079 --> 02:23:17.520
Here's the instructions.
02:23:19.200 --> 02:23:22.479
Oh it's uh the uh yeah, yeah.
02:23:22.639 --> 02:23:28.959
The mage IKEA, uh he uh really made things hard to build.
02:23:29.040 --> 02:23:32.879
So uh he goes and uh Yeah.
02:23:33.040 --> 02:23:35.840
Um well yeah, yeah.
02:23:36.000 --> 02:23:38.559
If you can put it together, it's yours.
02:23:38.719 --> 02:23:42.079
But if you can't put it together, we're gonna kick you out.
02:23:42.239 --> 02:23:42.799
Alright?
02:23:43.680 --> 02:23:44.399
Capish.
02:23:45.040 --> 02:23:46.319
Uh capiche.
02:23:46.559 --> 02:23:47.840
Uh uh capash.
02:23:48.399 --> 02:23:49.360
Capash, yeah.
02:23:50.799 --> 02:23:51.840
I like this one.
02:23:52.079 --> 02:23:53.920
You ever get in the sales?
02:23:54.879 --> 02:23:59.760
You know, I've I've considered it many times, but I'm more about selling a character.
02:24:00.079 --> 02:24:01.200
Selling a character.
02:24:01.280 --> 02:24:04.639
You know, as a salesperson, you are the character.
02:24:04.719 --> 02:24:11.440
Uh, and you have to sell and uh convince every individual person, you know, of what you're selling.
02:24:11.920 --> 02:24:12.319
Oh my god.
02:24:13.760 --> 02:24:19.360
Uh so dishonored, really all that that sales really is.
02:24:19.520 --> 02:24:24.559
You know, you're selling your salesman, but have you ever sold a dream?
02:24:25.920 --> 02:24:29.760
Yeah, you are going right for the artifact, right?
02:24:29.840 --> 02:24:30.239
By the way.
02:24:30.479 --> 02:24:30.879
Oh, yeah.
02:24:30.959 --> 02:24:32.319
I'm gonna take that right away.
02:24:32.559 --> 02:24:33.120
Oh boy.
02:24:33.280 --> 02:24:43.520
Uh the moment that you touch this box, suddenly, as if the words were searing themselves into your brain.
02:24:43.840 --> 02:24:48.000
You hear you are asleep.
02:24:49.200 --> 02:24:52.399
It is time to wake.
02:24:56.079 --> 02:24:57.520
Typhus, you okay?
02:24:58.239 --> 02:24:58.879
Yeah.
02:25:00.879 --> 02:25:02.639
You sh you sure, buddy?
02:25:03.120 --> 02:25:04.399
Yeah, I feel great.
02:25:07.280 --> 02:25:08.719
So we did not hear that.
02:25:09.040 --> 02:25:10.319
No, you did not hear that.
02:25:12.319 --> 02:25:17.760
Because you you lunged for that thing and you just now you're very still.
02:25:18.079 --> 02:25:22.879
You uh he was standing there for a good like 30 seconds just frozen after he touched it.
02:25:25.040 --> 02:25:26.559
Did you figure it out?
02:25:27.600 --> 02:25:30.319
Uh yeah, did did you figure it out, Typhus?
02:25:30.879 --> 02:25:31.840
Oh yeah.
02:25:33.600 --> 02:25:36.000
Maybe he's doing some box breathing.
02:25:36.319 --> 02:25:43.760
Yeah, this seems a lot like whatever we had roommate puzzle night, but uh Typhus is taking a lot less lager than we did.
02:25:44.239 --> 02:25:45.760
You gotta take a look at this box.
02:25:45.840 --> 02:25:46.879
Like, what's what's up?
02:25:46.959 --> 02:25:47.280
What's up?
02:25:47.520 --> 02:25:49.120
So Typhus is still touching it.
02:25:49.200 --> 02:25:51.920
I'm gonna be like, alright, Typhus, we're just gonna not touch the box.
02:25:52.000 --> 02:25:53.760
I'm gonna move his hand off the box.
02:25:54.079 --> 02:25:55.680
No, I'm gonna keep touching the box.
02:25:56.000 --> 02:26:02.239
What what what are you I mean I'm guessing the entire party is like collapsing in on Typhus around this box, right?
02:26:02.319 --> 02:26:04.239
Like everyone's kinda like, what the fuck's going on over here?
02:26:08.879 --> 02:26:10.799
Because I want to know before I touch him.
02:26:11.760 --> 02:26:13.280
Typhus, let go of the box.
02:26:13.520 --> 02:26:15.120
I'm not letting go of this box.
02:26:15.360 --> 02:26:17.760
Um I I go to grab the box.
02:26:18.000 --> 02:26:19.280
I'm from dodge him.
02:26:19.360 --> 02:26:21.200
I'm w I'm touching this box.
02:26:22.559 --> 02:26:23.200
Take the box.
02:26:23.440 --> 02:26:23.680
No.
02:26:23.840 --> 02:26:26.879
Well, you go you go and touch the box.
02:26:28.000 --> 02:26:29.200
Is that what you're saying?
02:26:29.360 --> 02:26:30.639
I yeah, I go to touch the vice.
02:26:30.719 --> 02:26:33.360
I try to take it from him because I'm like, dude, we have to figure this out together.
02:26:33.520 --> 02:26:36.639
No, the so the box was a little four by four.
02:26:36.719 --> 02:26:40.799
It is now a four foot by four foot cube.
02:26:42.479 --> 02:26:44.479
Yeah, whenever you said it unfolded out of it.
02:26:44.719 --> 02:26:45.360
It's like unfolding.
02:26:46.639 --> 02:26:46.879
Yeah.
02:26:47.520 --> 02:26:47.760
Yeah.
02:26:47.920 --> 02:26:48.719
It unfolded.
02:26:48.799 --> 02:26:59.520
It's it's about, sorry, I didn't describe it too well, but it's like a four foot wide, and it looks like some of the uh sections that made it a cube have like uh opened up straight.
02:26:59.760 --> 02:27:04.559
So you can see you basically have uh your what is it?
02:27:04.719 --> 02:27:12.639
Uh nine, eight eighteen, and then you have the other the top row kind of standing straight up on the back.
02:27:14.239 --> 02:27:24.719
Oh my uh but Virgil, you go to touch Typhus' hand connected to this box, and you receive the same message.
02:27:25.200 --> 02:27:27.680
You are asleep.
02:27:28.959 --> 02:27:31.520
You must wake.
02:27:37.760 --> 02:27:44.719
The rest of you guys see Virgil just the same as Typhus was frozen for a good like 30 seconds.
02:27:44.959 --> 02:27:46.879
Oh, perhaps it's an energy circle.
02:27:47.040 --> 02:27:50.799
Everyone pass the box and then freeze.
02:27:51.680 --> 02:27:53.840
Ooh, three exercise.
02:27:53.920 --> 02:27:54.639
Yeah, I get it.
02:27:55.680 --> 02:27:58.079
Let's all lean in and touch the box together.
02:27:58.239 --> 02:27:58.799
Yes!
02:28:02.319 --> 02:28:05.840
One, two, three.
02:28:07.120 --> 02:28:07.840
Oh boy.
02:28:08.000 --> 02:28:13.280
Uh this time you all lean in, you all will take three points of sidekick damage.
02:28:15.440 --> 02:28:17.680
Wait, does that include Virgil and Typhus?
02:28:18.000 --> 02:28:19.040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:28:19.600 --> 02:28:26.319
As you guys all lean in, you guys all hear the you are asleep.
02:28:28.239 --> 02:28:33.520
And then you just hear the screaming sound.
02:28:34.719 --> 02:28:35.440
Ouch.
02:28:36.559 --> 02:28:37.120
Oh my god.
02:28:38.479 --> 02:28:39.120
Oh god.
02:28:39.920 --> 02:28:41.760
Hey, hey, hey, Gurgel.
02:28:42.000 --> 02:28:45.440
You hear these, you see these morons, they went and touched the dangle artifact.
02:28:45.680 --> 02:28:46.959
They touched the artifact.
02:28:47.200 --> 02:28:48.959
They didn't even read the instructions.
02:28:49.280 --> 02:28:51.360
We should probably read the instructions.
02:28:51.600 --> 02:28:52.799
Yeah, let's read the script.
02:28:52.879 --> 02:28:53.520
Where is it?
02:28:53.600 --> 02:28:55.760
Uh the instructions.
02:28:56.719 --> 02:28:58.399
You all start to leaf through the instructions.
02:28:58.479 --> 02:29:03.200
Every page is the same thing over and over again, uh, in big block letters.
02:29:03.440 --> 02:29:05.120
You are asleep, you must wake.
02:29:05.280 --> 02:29:06.879
You are asleep, you must wake.
02:29:07.040 --> 02:29:08.799
You are asleep, you must wake.
02:29:08.879 --> 02:29:09.600
You are asleep.
02:29:09.760 --> 02:29:14.799
Slide the top portion of the box slightly to the left, about three centimeters, and you must wake.
02:29:15.120 --> 02:29:15.520
All right.
02:29:15.680 --> 02:29:16.959
I'm gonna try to wake up.
02:29:17.040 --> 02:29:19.680
Like maybe this is I'm gonna pinch myself or something.
02:29:19.760 --> 02:29:23.680
Like, this is like maybe maybe just in case.
02:29:23.840 --> 02:29:29.600
I don't think I'm on a lower plane of existence, but just in case I'm not in I'm in the matrix.
02:29:29.840 --> 02:29:30.799
Maybe.
02:29:31.040 --> 02:29:33.280
Uh time to break out.
02:29:33.360 --> 02:29:33.520
Yeah.
02:29:33.600 --> 02:29:33.680
Yeah.
02:29:33.840 --> 02:29:35.520
You pinch yourself, nothing happens.
02:29:35.760 --> 02:29:36.159
Damn.
02:29:36.239 --> 02:29:36.559
All right.
02:29:36.639 --> 02:29:36.799
Yeah.
02:29:36.959 --> 02:29:38.159
You this is reality.
02:29:38.479 --> 02:29:43.760
Yeah, you do see there are little uh little maybe perhaps helpful notes within all of these.
02:29:43.920 --> 02:29:46.639
You are you are asleep, you must wake.
02:29:46.799 --> 02:29:49.200
Uh, it's just a lot of pages.
02:29:49.440 --> 02:29:51.040
Um god.
02:29:51.360 --> 02:29:54.239
Alright, I'm gonna I'm gonna try to piece it together.
02:29:54.479 --> 02:30:00.000
Yeah, some remote uh who maybe uh I mean, uh go ahead, Sylvia.
02:30:00.319 --> 02:30:06.559
No, I was gonna say I'm gonna try to just do that shifting the top part of the box, like the one instruction that we had.
02:30:07.040 --> 02:30:10.000
Can you do that without succumbing to its influence?
02:30:10.079 --> 02:30:11.200
Is the question.
02:30:11.600 --> 02:30:15.200
Well, that's a great question.
02:30:19.280 --> 02:30:23.920
Uh who wants to try to sift through these instructions?
02:30:24.239 --> 02:30:26.639
I'm not that smart, but I can take a look at it.
02:30:27.760 --> 02:30:30.000
I'm not gonna lie, guys, I've made a lot of bombs.
02:30:30.079 --> 02:30:34.639
I'm pretty shaken up to my core, and I don't think this is any time for me to joke around.
02:30:34.719 --> 02:30:41.280
So I'm gonna go straight for this script here, and I'm gonna go through these instructions and see what I can parse through.
02:30:41.360 --> 02:30:43.360
So I'm just gonna start rifling through them.
02:30:43.600 --> 02:30:52.159
And uh Sylvia, you you you are confronted with this dilemma of you really want to shift that the the the lid thing, it strikes you, right?
02:30:52.399 --> 02:30:53.680
Like what what a strange little thing.
02:30:53.760 --> 02:30:56.079
So so how but how are you gonna do that?
02:30:58.639 --> 02:31:08.959
Well, um I think a good place to start is I might take my staff and ever so slightly just try to almost do it without touching it directly.
02:31:09.920 --> 02:31:10.239
Okay.
02:31:10.479 --> 02:31:11.200
Does that make sense?
02:31:11.520 --> 02:31:14.000
Real quick, Typhus, roll your like investigation.
02:31:14.159 --> 02:31:15.520
What do you want while this is going on?
02:31:15.680 --> 02:31:16.399
We'll ask for it.
02:31:16.719 --> 02:31:17.520
And you know what?
02:31:17.600 --> 02:31:19.840
I'm proficient in investigation.
02:31:20.079 --> 02:31:21.200
Hell yeah, mark it down.
02:31:21.440 --> 02:31:21.760
Hell yeah.
02:31:22.000 --> 02:31:22.719
Decided.
02:31:22.959 --> 02:31:24.000
Here we are.
02:31:25.360 --> 02:31:27.840
All right, that's a that's a 19 with that proficiency.
02:31:28.319 --> 02:31:29.120
We'll we'll ask it.
02:31:29.200 --> 02:31:32.719
Let Sylvia do what she's doing.
02:31:33.840 --> 02:31:34.159
Okay.
02:31:34.479 --> 02:31:40.079
So I took my staff and I ever so slightly shift it the way it's indicated.
02:31:40.639 --> 02:31:44.879
Um from maybe a a a couple of feet away.
02:31:46.159 --> 02:32:03.520
Uh as about to say, that it shifts exactly one centimeter, exactly the way the instructions provided, as Typhus is rifling through the papers and suddenly he notices a pattern that resembles itself or it resolves itself in his mind as a simple instruction.
02:32:03.840 --> 02:32:06.719
And time stops as Typhus reads it.
02:32:07.040 --> 02:32:11.680
It simply says speak the final rule.
02:32:15.360 --> 02:32:17.760
Speak the final rule.
02:32:23.280 --> 02:32:24.399
The final rule.
02:32:24.719 --> 02:32:25.680
Typhus, what?
02:32:26.000 --> 02:32:26.639
I I don't know.
02:32:26.719 --> 02:32:28.719
It might be someone with always telling the truth.
02:32:29.520 --> 02:32:40.639
Suddenly the box moves, uh it continues to drift uh off of that one centimeter that Sylvia pushed as Typhus uh made that connection in his mind.
02:32:42.239 --> 02:32:46.319
And suddenly it appears to start to resolve itself.
02:32:48.079 --> 02:32:49.360
It's resolving.
02:32:49.920 --> 02:32:50.399
Excellent.
02:32:50.479 --> 02:32:51.840
You you pushed it the perfect amount.
02:32:52.079 --> 02:32:58.319
Hold on, they're telling me we we just pushed it a little bit and said a few words, and now it's that's it.
02:32:58.559 --> 02:32:59.920
Way to go, Sylvia.
02:33:01.680 --> 02:33:04.159
You have to you have to take the text as simply as possible.
02:33:04.399 --> 02:33:11.920
Yeah, you uh you guys uh see as the box uh continues to shift, kind of unfolding on itself.
02:33:12.239 --> 02:33:18.000
Um roll typhus, roll, or uh if anyone else wants to, time has stopped.
02:33:18.079 --> 02:33:28.959
You guys look back, you see Muffin and Mittens are sitting back there kind of laughing for a second at uh um you heard them, uh Arnold laughing at you guys getting shocked by it.
02:33:29.120 --> 02:33:35.680
Um uh but you can uh you see it start shifting, you see it start slowing down a little bit.
02:33:37.440 --> 02:33:44.000
Uh but how how do you guys want to you guys basically have to keep it going?
02:33:44.239 --> 02:33:50.000
Um so Logan or Typhus, um, you find another instruction.
02:33:50.239 --> 02:33:53.680
It says move the bottom left block up.
02:33:54.239 --> 02:33:56.239
Move the bottom left block up.
02:33:56.399 --> 02:33:58.559
I will do as it says.
02:34:00.159 --> 02:34:01.200
Uh as you go to touch it.
02:34:01.600 --> 02:34:13.440
Touching it, you are able to move it, but the same thing, a sort of sh psychic shock hits you for one point of damage as another uh another message is seared into your brain.
02:34:13.920 --> 02:34:17.600
You have entered my domain.
02:34:19.200 --> 02:34:20.159
Oh shit.
02:34:20.479 --> 02:34:21.840
Typhus, what do you keep touching?
02:34:23.440 --> 02:34:25.920
That corner does shift into place, however.
02:34:27.200 --> 02:34:29.600
Uh and it it begins accelerating back.
02:34:29.760 --> 02:34:36.399
You see as it uh it creates this uh this frame, probably about uh eight or nine feet tall.
02:34:36.639 --> 02:34:45.920
Uh uh, but you can see as the rest of the pieces look to be on this uh this floorboard section that look to be kind of uh building themselves up.
02:34:48.479 --> 02:34:51.040
This is the craziest artifact I've ever seen.
02:34:51.600 --> 02:34:53.040
Yeah, I'm just kind of blown away.
02:34:53.120 --> 02:34:54.879
It's like four feet big now.
02:34:54.959 --> 02:34:55.600
That's crazy.
02:34:56.000 --> 02:34:56.559
You know what?
02:34:56.719 --> 02:34:58.959
I'll say it, it's kind of tacky.
02:35:00.559 --> 02:35:04.879
Uh tacky, it does have a lot of emojis all around it.
02:35:05.120 --> 02:35:06.319
Yeah, it does too.
02:35:06.399 --> 02:35:07.920
All the imp faces like everywhere.
02:35:08.000 --> 02:35:08.159
Yeah.
02:35:08.319 --> 02:35:17.360
Uh I will say too, uh Typhus, whenever you're getting these mental blasts in this time, uh, everyone is hearing this voice as echoed through Typhus's.
02:35:17.600 --> 02:35:17.840
Yeah, yeah.
02:35:18.319 --> 02:35:24.079
Yeah, with the time stop, you guys are all hearing it just reverberate in your guys' bones.
02:35:24.239 --> 02:35:31.600
Um, you guys can see as uh there's another section kind of in front of it that doesn't seem to be uh fully built.
02:35:31.760 --> 02:35:39.200
Um typhus, you're probably you're a little bit too um uh broken up, but you see the next instructions.
02:35:39.280 --> 02:35:42.239
Uh you see it says uh unfold.
02:35:43.440 --> 02:35:54.000
Unfold! Ah I'm gonna grab the the lip that was pushed over and try and like use that to like pull it down and unfold it on this uh on the cube.
02:35:54.239 --> 02:35:54.879
All right, all right.
02:35:55.040 --> 02:36:01.440
Both Arnold and Typhus are definitely going to be taking another point of psychic damage just as a heads up.
02:36:02.079 --> 02:36:09.280
Oh, use my knife and then the voice once again.
02:36:10.479 --> 02:36:13.040
I know you.
02:36:16.719 --> 02:36:18.879
I did just drop the zero, by the way.
02:36:19.120 --> 02:36:32.719
Oh what type is uh type is instead about to say we're gonna count that as going unconscious, and you are stable with one, but you are now a conduit of whatever force is uh being channeled through this artifact.
02:36:33.120 --> 02:36:33.760
Oh my god.
02:36:34.159 --> 02:36:43.200
Arnold, you see you uh you uh roll me a uh uh either a sleight of hand or acrobatics check.
02:36:43.360 --> 02:36:51.920
I'm gonna do sleight of hand, and just because of my less than legal background, this is something I'm proficient in.
02:36:52.159 --> 02:36:52.559
Oh yeah?
02:36:52.719 --> 02:36:54.399
Okay, hell yeah.
02:36:55.200 --> 02:36:56.399
It's gonna be ten.
02:36:57.200 --> 02:36:57.520
Ten.
02:36:58.159 --> 02:36:58.879
Total?
02:36:59.280 --> 02:37:00.000
Total.
02:37:02.399 --> 02:37:04.079
I have not rolled, I have not rolled above eight.
02:37:04.399 --> 02:37:05.040
You pull it back.
02:37:05.360 --> 02:37:14.719
Um, as you pull it back, uh, you'll take another two points of psychic damage, but as you pull it back, you unfold it as it like stands itself up.
02:37:14.879 --> 02:37:31.280
Um, and uh you see as it stands itself up, it you see all these imp emojis, you see the cucumber emoji, you see the uh the awkward uh the awkward guy slant slanted mouth face one.
02:37:31.680 --> 02:37:32.879
The really queasy guy.
02:37:33.120 --> 02:37:36.479
And yeah, the real queasy guy, the purple guy.
02:37:36.639 --> 02:37:44.239
Uh as uh you see it all begin to kind of form into this uh shape, and you see as it starts quivering.
02:37:44.479 --> 02:37:46.719
Oh god, we're in the emoji movie.
02:37:47.040 --> 02:37:51.920
Yeah, that's I would believe the podcast if we're in the emoji movie, actually.
02:37:52.159 --> 02:38:08.719
This is uh typhus now, simply a shell for whatever force is commanding uh his tiny, tiny cobalt body, suddenly seems to grow in scale, but not like just getting bigger.
02:38:08.879 --> 02:38:24.639
Like the idea of Typhus suddenly becomes all enveloping uh to the point where you can no longer distinguish whether or not typhus was a physical entity or just something that always kind of was, and there's one final instruction.
02:38:28.559 --> 02:38:30.159
I go to read the instruction.
02:38:30.479 --> 02:38:31.280
Oh bin.
02:38:32.000 --> 02:38:34.319
You just hear them all hear it all in your voice.
02:38:35.040 --> 02:38:36.479
Don't worry, Justin, I can do this one.
02:38:36.799 --> 02:38:50.079
Oh you oh my oh my oh my wow.
02:38:50.319 --> 02:38:52.000
So does he have typhus?
02:38:52.239 --> 02:38:54.479
Uh I don't know.
02:38:54.959 --> 02:38:56.719
I think he always did.
02:38:58.879 --> 02:39:02.959
Um screw it, screw it at this point.
02:39:03.040 --> 02:39:04.559
I'll go to fucking open it.
02:39:05.200 --> 02:39:06.879
I gotta stop whatever is going on.
02:39:06.959 --> 02:39:08.559
Alright, guys, we gotta open it.
02:39:08.639 --> 02:39:11.760
I don't know what's going on, but if we don't open it, things are gonna get way worse, I feel.
02:39:11.920 --> 02:39:12.559
Well, let's open it.
02:39:12.799 --> 02:39:18.559
Typhus is already asleep, so I he's probably just gonna wake up and wakes up and boom.
02:39:18.799 --> 02:39:22.159
Yeah, that that's the that's the second way we can solve this puzzle.
02:39:23.040 --> 02:39:30.959
You got you reach over to open it as you see uh the uh uh to open it, it slides to the side.
02:39:31.200 --> 02:39:49.040
Um and as it slides to one side, um you see uh this uh this this swirling uh uh green uh uh just almost like a liquid uh glittering and glistening in it.
02:39:49.120 --> 02:39:59.120
And then as you it slides to the other side, kind of revealing uh this these two things, um you see Glenn, what what do they see on that second side?
02:39:59.760 --> 02:40:09.440
Yeah, so it's less of what they see out of this pool of liquid, and more about what it is that they suddenly know.
02:40:10.239 --> 02:40:17.520
While looking at this pool of liquid, you can't pick out any one uh point of information you suddenly know.
02:40:19.920 --> 02:40:21.680
You don't even know what you know.
02:40:22.399 --> 02:40:46.399
You know you you know you know you you you know now, you know, you finally know, you know what happened to the suburbs, you know what's going on, you know how this story ends already, and you can't help yourself, and you are compelled first with Typhus and then with Virgil, and then Arnold and Michael, Sylvia and Blair.
02:40:46.799 --> 02:40:49.120
Each one of you cannot help yourselves.
02:40:49.280 --> 02:41:02.079
You must know everything, and everything is in that liquid, and as you go and reach for it, the words echo one more time in your mind, less distorted now, much, much clearer.
02:41:03.120 --> 02:41:20.559
I know you I see you and then as the liquid encompasses you, darkness.
02:41:26.639 --> 02:41:28.319
And who knows where we're going to wake up.
02:41:28.399 --> 02:41:30.559
I guess you'll have to tune into the next episode to find out.
02:41:30.959 --> 02:41:33.840
Oh my god! What the heck?
02:41:34.799 --> 02:41:35.840
What the heck, dog?
02:41:36.399 --> 02:41:38.719
What the what the fuck?
02:41:39.200 --> 02:41:40.159
That's what I'm saying.
02:41:40.319 --> 02:41:41.520
Hey, guess what?
02:41:41.680 --> 02:41:54.159
Uh uh, I guess Justin, you and I, buddy, we're gonna have to just roll who's on what teams because I we didn't get uh we didn't get a clear these people are and these people aren't with the way it worked out.
02:41:54.319 --> 02:41:59.360
So yeah, uh we have two sides of the door, we'll see which one y'all got sucked into.
02:41:59.680 --> 02:42:00.479
This will be fun.
02:42:00.959 --> 02:42:01.520
Hell yeah.
02:42:01.680 --> 02:42:02.799
Yeah, wow.
02:42:03.360 --> 02:42:03.840
All right.
02:42:04.000 --> 02:42:10.719
Well, uh, I think uh that's a good enough place as any to end this first session.
02:42:10.959 --> 02:42:14.959
Uh I hope that y'all well, how are how y'all feel about it?
02:42:15.040 --> 02:42:15.520
I liked it.
02:42:15.600 --> 02:42:16.719
I thought it was a good time.
02:42:17.040 --> 02:42:18.079
It was great.
02:42:18.479 --> 02:42:19.680
I had a good time.
02:42:20.000 --> 02:42:20.479
All right.
02:42:21.200 --> 02:42:22.399
It was so much fun.
02:42:22.559 --> 02:42:25.280
Sorry, I had to run into these bathroom cookies.
02:42:25.440 --> 02:42:26.079
So fun.
02:42:28.239 --> 02:42:38.319
Well, uh like we said before at the very beginning of this, uh, this will be uh the last time that we see all of these players together in quite a while, if I had to guess.
02:42:38.479 --> 02:42:46.799
From this point forward, both Justin and I will be leading two separate campaigns uh that will be uh live streamed Monday at 7 p.m.
02:42:46.959 --> 02:42:51.600
The first Monday and third Monday uh respectively for either of the campaigns.
02:42:51.680 --> 02:42:52.479
We'll figure it out.
02:42:52.559 --> 02:42:53.360
Uh something like that.
02:42:53.440 --> 02:42:55.920
It'll be around this time uh on a Monday.
02:42:56.079 --> 02:42:59.360
Uh just pay attention to social media, we'll get all that information out.
02:42:59.520 --> 02:43:03.440
But uh we'll be splitting into likely two parties of three.
02:43:03.600 --> 02:43:12.159
Uh, and from there we are going to find out just what is going on with the final rule.
02:43:12.639 --> 02:43:13.280
Right?
02:43:13.760 --> 02:43:15.360
Yeah, I'd like to know.
02:43:16.799 --> 02:43:17.440
I gotta know.
02:43:19.840 --> 02:43:22.319
I was literally told I have to know.
02:43:22.639 --> 02:43:23.600
I have to know.
02:43:23.760 --> 02:43:26.239
I want to drink that black liquid.
02:43:26.479 --> 02:43:27.360
That's what I'm saying.
02:43:27.520 --> 02:43:28.719
In my dum dum tum.
02:43:29.440 --> 02:43:37.120
Okay, so I wanna feel like that's a that's a good enough uh time, as any to go ahead and start wrapping things up.
02:43:37.280 --> 02:43:40.319
Uh, first off, uh, I'm sure we all agree.
02:43:40.559 --> 02:43:46.879
For anybody who is watching or listening uh to the podcast, uh watching the live stream or even the VOD, thank you so much.
02:43:46.959 --> 02:43:59.360
Uh, your attention and the traction that we have gotten even before this first session has been absolutely tremendous, and I know for a fact that we're going to live up to all the hype if this first session is uh is anything to go off of.
02:44:00.079 --> 02:44:01.680
Hell yeah, brother.
02:44:02.079 --> 02:44:02.719
Thank you.
02:44:03.040 --> 02:44:03.680
Hey, thank you.
02:44:04.000 --> 02:44:05.840
Thank you, everybody, every one of our players.
02:44:05.920 --> 02:44:10.959
Uh, thank you, Justin, for stepping up to the plate and uh agreeing to be a DM as well.
02:44:11.040 --> 02:44:20.239
Uh, thank you to our stream manager, Spencer, uh, who has been doing an amazing job with keeping everything updated and making sure that we are uh up to date on all of our technical stuff.
02:44:20.399 --> 02:44:24.479
Uh everybody, if you are in the live stream chat, please tell Spencer thank you.
02:44:24.559 --> 02:44:28.959
Uh and otherwise, I think that we will see y'all next time.
02:44:29.120 --> 02:44:31.520
Uh, we will let you know when it will be this next.
02:44:31.760 --> 02:44:33.200
Actually, I can tell you right now, hold on.
02:44:33.440 --> 02:44:37.760
Uh the next it would still probably be the first uh the first Monday.
02:44:38.079 --> 02:44:44.959
Yes, that will be May 4th, which is uh don't make any jokes about that, uh, or else it will get lost in the algorithm.
02:44:45.040 --> 02:44:51.280
So May 4th will be the next live stream, uh, campaign A of final rules.
02:44:51.520 --> 02:44:52.000
Yeah.
02:44:52.159 --> 02:44:52.559
Excellent.
02:44:52.799 --> 02:44:53.520
All right, everybody.
02:44:53.600 --> 02:44:55.360
Hey, why don't we say goodnight, eh?
02:44:55.600 --> 02:44:56.159
Good night.
02:44:56.479 --> 02:44:57.040
Good night.
02:45:00.319 --> 02:45:01.840
I'll see you again.
02:45:02.479 --> 02:45:02.639
Okay.
