00:00:00He interjects and says, the cards themselves are not rare, but your attachment to them is.
00:00:09Oh, shit.
00:00:10Wow, you're a steak and it's well done.
00:00:14So we got to offer something.
00:00:17Let's not upset him.
00:00:19Let's not upset him.
00:00:21I think it needs to come correct.
00:00:22We're looking for a soul.
00:00:25Right?
00:00:26Did you just tell him?
00:00:27Are we just telling him?
00:00:27Are we not?
00:00:28We are.
00:00:29Are we telling him?
00:00:29That's what we need.
00:00:30Now he knows.
00:00:31Are you trying to say a soul for a soul?
00:00:33Don't say that.
00:00:35You see Nyra's perks at his little ears.
00:00:38Are you guys planning on giving me away?
00:00:40No, we're not.
00:00:42I think you are.
00:00:43Now at this point, yeah.
00:00:44Gertie, we said no more lies.
00:00:45Yeah, we are.
00:00:46We're thinking about it.
00:00:48We're considering it.
00:00:49Okay.
00:00:50We're just thinking about it.
00:00:51We're just thinking about it.
00:00:53I want to disguise myself as the water.
00:00:56So do you see?
00:00:58Twyla vanishes, and there is a pool of deep water, and the jackal goes, well, I've never
00:01:05seen that.
00:01:07All right.
00:01:07It's just the three of us.
00:01:09Okay.
00:01:09Here's the thing.
00:01:10I have Fog Cloud, okay?
00:01:12It is a spell like a cast.
00:01:13It's like a pool of water right now.
00:01:14Go ahead.
00:01:14And I'm just wet.
00:01:16It's a spell like a cast to create a deep bank of concealing fog.
00:01:18Can we steal from?
00:01:21Yes, you can steal if you want.
00:01:24There is, of course, a tremendous risk associated with that, but that is absolutely an option.
00:01:28No risk, no reward.
00:01:29No risk, no reward.
00:01:30That's also a card that you could keep up your sleeve if things, if you like exhaust one pathway,
00:01:38having that up your sleeve of like, if things go really bad, we can always-
00:01:41I'm not what you're selling.
00:01:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:42I'm not what you're selling.
00:01:43You see, Nyreth looks and says, let me not be misunderstood to all of you and this puddle of water.
00:01:55What I mean to say is I am deeply uninterested in your playing cards as dross, crass material objects.
00:02:06However, there are things ethereal and ephemeral associated with those cards.
00:02:15Your memory of what they meant to you.
00:02:18You're talking to a pond right now.
00:02:20And I want to get whipped.
00:02:24Now I want to keep the cards.
00:02:27Now I want to keep them.
00:02:28My memory of the cards?
00:02:29If I'm not much mistaken, you have the bearing, or did before you were a puddle.
00:02:36You had the bearing of a soldier.
00:02:38It's been a long time since I saw the fairies coming in, hour by hour by hour, filled with fairies
00:02:48who had been slain in that war.
00:02:52Terrible.
00:02:52My belief is that those cards may indeed have memories attached to them of long nights of camaraderie, friendship, joy.
00:03:05Memories like that are as nectar to the gods for the damned souls who dwell in this underworld.
00:03:14Memories of joy and friendship I can sell to the withered souls of this place.
00:03:23So, I'm not interested in your cards unless they come with the memories attached to them.
00:03:29So if we give, if she gives up the memory, she'll forget, she'll never, that something escapes?
00:03:33I don't like that because that means I can't.
00:03:34Does it mean, is that what it means?
00:03:36Yeah.
00:03:36That means I can't, I can't go with what I'm supposed to be doing.
00:03:39So no.
00:03:40You would be.
00:03:40I'm dark-sided.
00:03:41Yeah.
00:03:42Yeah.
00:03:43Like, that means that, like, the whole, like, point of me being down here makes no sense if you take my memories away.
00:03:48Yeah, don't do that.
00:03:49You see, Ny'ereth says, perhaps you are concerned that I would completely obliterate your identity.
00:03:54I am very surgical with my magic.
00:03:58Only those memories associated with the cards themselves.
00:04:02Any memories of your family or your leaders, I'm sure you would keep.
00:04:07It's just those nights around the campfire I'm most interested in.
00:04:12Well, how about I give you one card so you get one memory?
00:04:17I'd consider it, but it depends on what you're trying to buy.
00:04:20And it sounds like you're trying to buy something very dear indeed.
00:04:25Just tell them, just tell them, just tell them what you want.
00:04:27How many memories is that?
00:04:28Just tell them what you want.
00:04:30I need a soul.
00:04:35You need a soul?
00:04:36I need a soul.
00:04:37A soul from memory sounds like a great exchange to me.
00:04:40Some might say a Monet exchange.
00:04:42Yes, an exchange of something more priceless than Monet.
00:04:56I would consider it, but a single card by itself would be hard to come by.
00:05:02The memories are associated with the hands, the deck, the game itself.
00:05:07Is there anything else that you might be able to throw in to sweeten the deal?
00:05:14Maybe you offer the extra wraith.
00:05:16Why am I whispering?
00:05:17Maybe you offer the extra wraith class.
00:05:20We do have one extra wraith class.
00:05:21That sweetens the deal.
00:05:23Yeah, but not the one that we use.
00:05:25No, but Uncle doesn't need the wraith class.
00:05:27We have one extra.
00:05:28You have the corrupted one.
00:05:29I have the corrupted one.
00:05:30We have the corrupted one and one extra.
00:05:32I think we should give the one extra because I find the corrupted one will have more value.
00:05:36Yeah, Uncle.
00:05:37So let's start with the one extra wraith class.
00:05:40So as you've heard, right, like what he's basically said is like he sells to the dead.
00:05:45So you know that corrupted wraith class is going to be worth a lot down here.
00:05:49So if you throw that extra wraith class in front of him, I will give you another chance at that persuasion check.
00:05:56Should you roll it?
00:05:58Well, she has the extra one.
00:05:59Oh, yeah.
00:05:59But you can also add a D6 to your persuasion as well.
00:06:03You have that commanding presence that you can use here too.
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:08Cool.
00:06:08Yeah.
00:06:09So go ahead and roll that D20.
00:06:12Add your persuasion.
00:06:13Uh, six plus five.
00:06:16Looking at the playing card in the wraith clasp, he says, a wraith clasp.
00:06:21I haven't seen one of those in a little while.
00:06:23Very useful.
00:06:25I would be willing to consider bargaining with some of my souls for what you've put in front of me.
00:06:33But, unfortunately, those are only of use to the living and precious few of those come through my shop.
00:06:44So, I'm afraid I'll need something a little bit more to sweeten the deal.
00:06:49Ladies gather up.
00:06:50Wait a minute.
00:06:51Are we giving him three things now?
00:06:54Well, he's, they said he drives a hard bargain.
00:06:56We were warned probably three times that it's going to cost a lot.
00:06:59If I were you, if I were you, I would let us do it because you are, you are on the documentary.
00:07:04A loose kid.
00:07:04Well, you have it out for the, do you know this guy?
00:07:07Well, see, maybe he hit me up online once and then ghosted me.
00:07:11And now I know why he ghosted me because he's a fucking demon.
00:07:14Demon.
00:07:15Here's the thing.
00:07:16I just, in case things go here, I'm not saying we should go there, but in case things go here,
00:07:20I have something called darkness creates an area of magical shadows that obscure sight.
00:07:26If we need to just grab and run, I could throw some darkness.
00:07:30I don't know where he keeps the souls in this shop.
00:07:32We can, we're going to, we can find out.
00:07:33We'll have him bring it out.
00:07:35We'll give him, we can, we could give him an offer he can't refuse.
00:07:39I could cast darkness.
00:07:41You two can see in the dark.
00:07:42Can I see in the dark?
00:07:43No.
00:07:44No, I do.
00:07:44I have eyes in the dark.
00:07:45I can see 120 feet in the dark.
00:07:46Can you see in the dark?
00:07:47With no light.
00:07:47I can disguise myself as a flashlight.
00:07:50You are out of control.
00:07:53So those are options.
00:07:56We can either give the actual bargain, give him the thing, which we could end up using
00:08:01for someone later, or just darkness still runs.
00:08:04I think we say that we offer him these things, and when he brings out the soul, power, snatch,
00:08:10don't give him anything, leave.
00:08:12We're going to, we're going to double cross.
00:08:13But he's going to fight us though, right?
00:08:15We don't know.
00:08:16But if he does.
00:08:17So we have agreed we are going to give him an offer he can't refuse.
00:08:20Yes.
00:08:21And we're not actually going to fall through.
00:08:22We're not.
00:08:23All right.
00:08:23That's shady though.
00:08:25Oh, shady.
00:08:26He said not to lie.
00:08:27He did.
00:08:30All right, here we go.
00:08:31Oh, shit.
00:08:33We've decided.
00:08:34Yeah, so.
00:08:36Wonderful.
00:08:36It went completely quiet in here, and you all were giving each other these intense looks
00:08:41like you were talking telepathically.
00:08:42Yeah, I was using a message there for sure.
00:08:45So, so it has occurred to me that I just remembered that we do have a corrupted wraith
00:08:56class that you could use for your undead friends.
00:09:01You don't say.
00:09:04Show them.
00:09:05What?
00:09:05What for?
00:09:06Can we see?
00:09:08I mean, you show us.
00:09:08Show us.
00:09:09You show us.
00:09:10We show you.
00:09:10Well, excuse me.
00:09:12He moves a ladder attached to a railing, like the ones you see on libraries, and moves
00:09:16through this huge like index card, like sort of small little files, and begins to root
00:09:22around.
00:09:22And as he opens one, blood red light emerges from it.
00:09:25As you hear him clacking through what you recognize must be hundreds of captured souls.
00:09:31Let's see if I think this is for who it's for, and do give my regards to Shalala, you see.
00:09:40Oh, Shalala.
00:09:42How did you know?
00:09:42Hey, Jala.
00:09:44What a death drop.
00:09:45He says, ah, I believe this might be what you're looking for.
00:09:50This red gem pulses with light.
00:09:55This is the soul of Oliver Lieber, the famed producer who composed Opposites Attract by
00:10:04Paula Abdul.
00:10:05Oh!
00:10:07Remember MC Scat Cat?
00:10:08Yeah.
00:10:10Incredible.
00:10:11Yep.
00:10:11Two steps forward, one step back.
00:10:12Great guy.
00:10:12Okay, now at this moment, now that we have the amulet in our hand, all right, it's time.
00:10:23It's on, ladies.
00:10:25First of all, before I cast darkness, I need you to look where the door is so you can make
00:10:28a beeline that you can't see in the dark.
00:10:29Tell me where the door is.
00:10:30It's the one we came in.
00:10:32Where did we come in?
00:10:33We came behind us.
00:10:34Back left.
00:10:34Somebody hold my hand.
00:10:35Back right, right.
00:10:36Can you grab her hand?
00:10:37You're big and strong.
00:10:38Yeah.
00:10:38Okay, so.
00:10:39Just ride on me.
00:10:40All right, I'm going to cast darkness.
00:10:42And I said to amulet, I put it in my satchel.
00:10:44I mean, the soul.
00:10:45It is now full-on dark.
00:10:48So what happens is, as Troianne grabs the soul, Gertrude opens her mouth, and then a pool
00:10:56of just black fog comes rushing out of her mouth.
00:11:00It is just, it fills the entire room.
00:11:03It's swirling from the floor like a liquid.
00:11:05It has filled the entire room.
00:11:08And my skin starts to go bioluminescent, because that's how I see the dark.
00:11:10Because I can see 60 feet in front of me, about the bioluminescent.
00:11:13So you can see a little bit, too.
00:11:14My eyes white out.
00:11:15Like, I don't have any pupils.
00:11:17And I can see about 120 feet.
00:11:19And this shop is, how big is the shop?
00:11:21Oh, it's like 40 feet by 40 feet.
00:11:22Oh, so I can see great with no light.
00:11:26And I, I disguise myself as your hair.
00:11:31Okay, work.
00:11:31So then I'm just, I'm just there with you, baby.
00:11:34It's like 30 feet of hair.
00:11:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:36That's her mom.
00:11:38That's her mom.
00:11:39My hair's up in a ponytail.
00:11:41Okay, well, I'm the tip of the ponytail.
00:11:43There we go.
00:11:45Unbelievable.
00:11:45All right, so it's like this tense moment of negotiation.
00:11:49And suddenly it's just like, cheese it.
00:11:52We've got to get out of here.
00:11:54And darkness erupts from your mouth.
00:11:57I'm going to need everyone here, because it's going to be quick acting.
00:12:00I'm going to need everyone here to roll initiative once again.
00:12:02Right.
00:12:03Initiative.
00:12:05We still do the D20, right?
00:12:07Dirty 20.
00:12:08Oh!
00:12:08Dirty 20.
00:12:09Wait, really?
00:12:09Wait, really?
00:12:10Nat 20?
00:12:11Nat 20.
00:12:11Nat 20!
00:12:12Nat 20!
00:12:13Nat 20!
00:12:13I have an eight.
00:12:17You have an eight.
00:12:18Oh, gurney.
00:12:19So you're taking...
00:12:20I have anxiety!
00:12:22So I think that it's like that performance anxiety.
00:12:26If you're like, all right, time to make darkness.
00:12:28It's just too much.
00:12:29It just keeps coming.
00:12:30You just can't stop making darkness come out of your mouth.
00:12:33So with these two nat 20s, I believe on a 20, you get a 34.
00:12:37Yep.
00:12:38Nat 20 plus 14, 34.
00:12:40D.
00:12:40Oh, 35.
00:12:41Incredible.
00:12:42So Twyla, Troianne, Princess, as it goes dark, what is it that you do?
00:12:47I will also say this.
00:12:48Twyla, you have the ability as a Gloomstalker Ranger.
00:12:52You can see in this darkness.
00:12:54Oh, so I can see.
00:12:55You can see in the darkness.
00:12:57For you two, this darkness is actually...
00:13:00Because it's of a magical nature.
00:13:02Even this darkness is obscuring your vision.
00:13:05But you remember where the door...
00:13:06You knew that before we cast a spell, Brennan.
00:13:09But it's all good.
00:13:10You remember where the door is.
00:13:11So you know...
00:13:12But you might have to make a check to, like, get safely through the shop.
00:13:15Twyla, we're going to start with you.
00:13:17You can help disguise us, then?
00:13:18I'm sorry to cut you off.
00:13:19No worries.
00:13:20You can help disguise...
00:13:20Well, no one can see anything.
00:13:22But you...
00:13:22No, it's us.
00:13:23So Twyla, you can see...
00:13:25And then I can lead.
00:13:26You can see.
00:13:27So you could actually help your friends get to the door safely if you wanted to.
00:13:32Oh, if I want to.
00:13:33If you want to.
00:13:34Well, I would love to.
00:13:36Because my friends are my family.
00:13:38Even though there are things that you say about me in the underworld that I can hear.
00:13:42I'm sorry.
00:13:43We're saying them to you, so...
00:13:45You still have to get here because we're saying them directly to you.
00:13:49Ladies.
00:13:49Get out.
00:13:50Let's get out.
00:13:51Let's do it.
00:13:52Woo!
00:13:52Come on, Twyla.
00:13:54Incredible.
00:13:55I cannot believe, Bob, how good darkness is.
00:13:59This guy has so many spells that can instantly kill people that he has to be able to see.
00:14:07And work!
00:14:08That's so insane.
00:14:10You're in so much danger right now.
00:14:13But he can't see them, though.
00:14:14He can't see you.
00:14:15He cannot see you.
00:14:16We've got to get far from this tavern.
00:14:19This bizarre, this haberdashery.
00:14:21Not a haber.
00:14:22That's where they make hats.
00:14:23Okay.
00:14:24Twyla, you grab the hands of Troianne and Princess.
00:14:27And all three of you are just...
00:14:28You've got the soul.
00:14:28You're booking it for the door.
00:14:29So I'm like this.
00:14:30All of you burst with Gertrude's shadows still, like, clinging to your body as you burst from the door.
00:14:36Kerwin whips around and goes,
00:14:38Whoa, did something go wrong in there?
00:14:39Is everything all right?
00:14:40And, unfortunately, Nyreth is going to act before Gertrude.
00:14:45Now, I have to look up because he has a dispel magic.
00:14:49Wait, am I by myself in here now?
00:14:50We're already out?
00:14:51Well, you're all running for the door at the same time.
00:14:53I'm so sorry.
00:14:54Well, I can see in the dark.
00:14:55I can see through magical darkness.
00:14:56Yes, you can see through...
00:14:57Which is nice.
00:14:58You can see through magical darkness.
00:14:59Am I by myself in here?
00:15:00Yeah, Gertrude.
00:15:01I think you are.
00:15:02I can't cast a spell from outside.
00:15:03Yeah, I can't do anything...
00:15:05Because, you know, I have that power to turn his ass really tiny.
00:15:08Do you?
00:15:09You have a drinking spell?
00:15:10Yes, girl.
00:15:11Look at this one.
00:15:12Enlarge, reduce, shrink, or grow an enemy or ally.
00:15:15Oh, my God.
00:15:16I know.
00:15:16Maybe that's why he's so small.
00:15:18Maybe.
00:15:18Maybe you're...
00:15:19Shrunk myself.
00:15:20I am in here close to this upset demon.
00:15:23Well, you cussed it, baby.
00:15:25Knees buckling.
00:15:26Oh, man.
00:15:27Darkness is just coming out.
00:15:29It will not stop.
00:15:30Didn't I tell you why we lied?
00:15:31She's still alive.
00:15:32Okay, this is what's going to happen.
00:15:34That darkness spell was an incredible bit of sorcery on your part.
00:15:38He has so many powerful spells, but unfortunately, all of the most powerful he needs to be able to see you.
00:15:43So he's going to spend his turn doing the one thing he can do, which is dispelling your darkness spell.
00:15:51So, in other words, all of you burst out the door, and you see Nyreth goes,
00:15:56I'm afraid shoplifting is not appreciated.
00:16:00And his jackal lips purse, and he sucks the darkness into his mouth.
00:16:05Hello, friend.
00:16:06And it is your turn to act.
00:16:08The darkness is gone, but he's used his turn, and it is now your turn.
00:16:12Hello, what do you do now?
00:16:13Okay.
00:16:14We're just all standing in the window like...
00:16:16No.
00:16:17Okay.
00:16:18This is wild.
00:16:20Okay.
00:16:20So I have...
00:16:21Okay, so I know that he can dispel.
00:16:23Yeah.
00:16:23So if I cast spells, he can dispel them.
00:16:25But not until his turn.
00:16:26Not until his turn.
00:16:28And he can also kill me in one move with one spell.
00:16:31So I have counterspell?
00:16:34Mm-hmm.
00:16:34Which can...
00:16:36So, okay, would counterspell...
00:16:38Wait a minute.
00:16:39Oh, my gosh.
00:16:39You can counterspell the dispelling he just did.
00:16:42I just want to make it clear, because you're playing with these rules for the first time in Sorcerer's.
00:16:45It's very complicated.
00:16:46Normally, counterspell only works if you can see the other person, but you can see through magical darkness.
00:16:53I love it.
00:16:53So if you want to dispel his dispel, if you want to counter his dispel magic, you can absolutely do that.
00:17:01And can I also...
00:17:01I can't dash as well.
00:17:03You can dash as well.
00:17:03And then it's your turn.
00:17:04You can take a double move and sprint out of the store.
00:17:06Yes, I'm dashing 60 feet, and the room is only 40 feet, as you said.
00:17:09Yes, that's correct.
00:17:10We are just regurgitating and regurgitating the same red smoke all over the room.
00:17:14It actually looks kind of disgusting.
00:17:16So they're both kind of floating in the air with the smoke going between their mouths.
00:17:21Y'all said COVID who?
00:17:23Droplets everywhere.
00:17:24And then as the smoke is just refilling the room, their lips are almost this close to each other, and then she decides to dash.
00:17:34Once the room is refilled with smoke, she decides to make a dash for the door, and then she's like, we need to fucking go!
00:17:45Incredible.
00:17:45So he just like, his lungs filled with smoke, the lips so close together.
00:17:50Wait!
00:17:51And you hit out of the shop.
00:17:53All of you hit the street, and bail.
00:17:56Boom!
00:17:56He can't move that fast.
00:17:57He's old, so we gotta go.
00:17:59You hear a just howl from that, saying,
00:18:02Return that soul to me, thieves!
00:18:07And just smoke.
00:18:09Shadow coming out of his lungs.
00:18:10All of you sprint out of there as fast as you can.
00:18:13I'm gonna need a group stealth check to try to, like, avoid.
00:18:17Like, he's calling for the guards.
00:18:19There's those big, like, frog demons around.
00:18:21I mean, this would be good.
00:18:22Let's get a stealth check.
00:18:23He's got it out for me.
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:26Nine.
00:18:27What do you got, Moe?
00:18:29Moe, what is it, Moe?
00:18:31Oh, not a one.
00:18:33Moe!
00:18:33I damn it.
00:18:34Oh, no.
00:18:35Oh, God.
00:18:37Okay.
00:18:38Oh!
00:18:39My God!
00:18:41It's a one!
00:18:42Yo, we're fucked.
00:18:43This Gekyll is...
00:18:44You need to...
00:18:45Can we rely on...
00:18:46Or are we just fucked already?
00:18:47Well, you got two net ones.
00:18:48If you were to cast Pass Without Trace, which it's...
00:18:51I'm gonna say that...
00:18:52Should I roll still or no?
00:18:53You can still roll.
00:18:54If Twyla wants to cast Pass Without Trace...
00:18:56Uh-huh.
00:18:57First of all, Twyla would have to beat nine, which would become a 19.
00:19:01But the way group checks work is you just use the top half of the results.
00:19:07So theoretically, we could cancel these ones out as long as we get higher.
00:19:11But unfortunately, a nine is still not very high as well.
00:19:14So what do we need now?
00:19:15So we would...
00:19:15I think, Twyla, if you cast Pass Without Trace, it'll be the last of your powerful spells that you can cast.
00:19:22At least until you get, like, a full rest.
00:19:25So does it feel important in this moment to do that?
00:19:27Or do you want to play it without magic?
00:19:29I feel like we should do that.
00:19:32Okay.
00:19:32Because that's the only way to save us.
00:19:34Are we going to be able to get rest in town?
00:19:35There's an N here, isn't there?
00:19:37So there's an N.
00:19:37I'll just disguise myself as a bed.
00:19:40I love it.
00:19:41So once again, you call on that fairy shadow magic.
00:19:44So now we're going to roll your stealth check.
00:19:46So roll your stealth check here.
00:19:48We need to beat...
00:19:49We still want to beat that.
00:19:50Come on, Twyla.
00:19:51Come on, we need, like, a 13.
00:19:51Come on, Twyla.
00:19:52Lucky 13.
00:19:53It's your number.
00:19:53Okay, I never ask you for anything.
00:19:57This is what I want.
00:19:58And I know you're really busy.
00:20:03Ah, no!
00:20:04What, a one?
00:20:05A one!
00:20:06Three ones!
00:20:07This is un-fucking-believable.
00:20:09This is what the...
00:20:10Crazy!
00:20:12Why did you make me do that?
00:20:13The table is weighted.
00:20:14It's magnets.
00:20:15It's magnets.
00:20:16What?
00:20:16I don't get this.
00:20:18It's magnets.
00:20:19I love what you all are doing over there.
00:20:20The producers...
00:20:21The producers are...
00:20:23The game is rigged.
00:20:24I want to start.
00:20:25Rig of morals.
00:20:26Hold on.
00:20:26Okay, what's...
00:20:27What happened?
00:20:28Okay, so...
00:20:29I don't know.
00:20:29Tell us.
00:20:30So, here's what happens.
00:20:33You all...
00:20:34This went off without a hitch.
00:20:36I hate my life.
00:20:36Baby, you got that soul.
00:20:38Sprint down the street.
00:20:39You turn a corner,
00:20:40and all of you,
00:20:41full, like, Three Stooges style,
00:20:44right into the chest
00:20:46of a hulking Janari demon.
00:20:48Oh, my God.
00:20:49Is he bigger than her?
00:20:50No, he is not bigger than Princess.
00:20:51He's still seven feet tall,
00:20:52but you see that there are about
00:20:54five of them right here.
00:20:56Woof.
00:20:57Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:20:58Turn, and you see that I'm gonna need...
00:21:01With three nat ones,
00:21:02we have to honor how unlucky that is.
00:21:06So, I am going to need...
00:21:07Oh, my tail.
00:21:08...a dexterity saving throw from Trojan,
00:21:10and it's gonna be a difficulty of 20.
00:21:13Okay.
00:21:13Now, I think I remember...
00:21:15One of my powers is I can swap
00:21:17for this die if I need to.
00:21:19Ooh, is that based on...
00:21:20Do you remember the name of that power?
00:21:21No, I'm kidding.
00:21:21It's not a power.
00:21:22Oh, okay.
00:21:23No, you are so sad.
00:21:25I was so ready.
00:21:27I was so ready to do it.
00:21:28Let's go ahead.
00:21:29Do you need a 15 or higher?
00:21:31You got it, sis.
00:21:32You can do it.
00:21:33Nat 20.
00:21:34Watch.
00:21:34You got it.
00:21:37What?
00:21:38If it's a one,
00:21:38I'm gonna just leave.
00:21:39What is it?
00:21:40It's a five.
00:21:41Okay, we are gonna be...
00:21:42We're gonna get trapped
00:21:43to some shit.
00:21:43All of you turn the corner
00:21:45as you run Trojan.
00:21:47You, with a mighty leap sprint,
00:21:49bam, hit this powerful chest
00:21:51of this snarling demon
00:21:53in front of you,
00:21:54and on that failed dexterity save,
00:21:56you watch the soul
00:21:58pop out of your bag
00:22:01as you fall backwards,
00:22:03and one of the demons
00:22:04grabs it in his hand.
00:22:08Hey, what's this?
00:22:11We're two in such a hurry.
00:22:14Hey, wait a minute.
00:22:15And these hulking,
00:22:16sort of like,
00:22:17toad, reptile demons
00:22:19gather around.
00:22:23You're not dead.
00:22:25You're not dead at all.
00:22:26Yes, we are.
00:22:28Stop lying!
00:22:30What about our,
00:22:31wait, our wraith clasps?
00:22:33Well, they'll see us change.
00:22:34Do you have to hide the wraith clasps?
00:22:36You have your,
00:22:38so you can activate
00:22:38your wraith clasps now
00:22:40if you would like
00:22:40to try to, like,
00:22:41disguise yourselves.
00:22:43But he's gonna see us.
00:22:43Does that matter?
00:22:44You know, and Trojan,
00:22:45you know that it's not,
00:22:46it's like,
00:22:47it's not, like,
00:22:49illegal for the living
00:22:50to be here,
00:22:51but it is suspicious
00:22:52that there are so many.
00:22:54It's like a white girl
00:22:54in Compton.
00:22:56You can be here,
00:22:57but bitch,
00:22:57what you doing here?
00:23:03You see?
00:23:04You trying to gentrify
00:23:05this underworld?
00:23:09You trying to gentrify
00:23:10hollow grave?
00:23:14You see that the Janari
00:23:16looks down and goes,
00:23:17smell blood in your veins.
00:23:23What gives?
00:23:24They sort of crowd around you.
00:23:27With those,
00:23:28with those,
00:23:29with five of them.
00:23:30There's five of them.
00:23:31I can't do any more spells.
00:23:32You've used your last
00:23:33most powerful spell.
00:23:34And it was a one.
00:23:36You,
00:23:37you've used your last
00:23:37most powerful spell.
00:23:38So the issue here is this,
00:23:40right?
00:23:41You can hear behind you
00:23:43the footsteps of Ny'rith,
00:23:45like, leaving his shop
00:23:46to come,
00:23:46to chase you.
00:23:48So you have a harder
00:23:49decision to make.
00:23:50Do you bail out
00:23:51and run away from these guards
00:23:53while they have
00:23:54that soul?
00:23:55Or do you stay
00:23:56and try to, like,
00:23:57negotiate with them
00:23:58and let Ny'rith
00:24:00catch up to you?
00:24:01Okay, so let's just
00:24:02think about it.
00:24:02Because Ny'rith
00:24:03is very powerful.
00:24:04Yes.
00:24:05He's not terribly fast.
00:24:06Is he fast?
00:24:06No, not fast.
00:24:07He's not fast,
00:24:07but if he gets here,
00:24:08he is powerful.
00:24:10So I feel like
00:24:10our options are
00:24:11we try to intercept Kiki
00:24:13and fight her
00:24:14and take the soul.
00:24:15Is she a good fighter?
00:24:16We train together.
00:24:17Kiki's just as good
00:24:18as I am.
00:24:18Okay, she's an incredible fighter.
00:24:20There are four of us.
00:24:21We can either try
00:24:22to fight these guards.
00:24:23They're huge.
00:24:23They're five,
00:24:24and we are not lucky
00:24:25down here.
00:24:26You've also used
00:24:27a lot of your powerful magic
00:24:28already,
00:24:28and you haven't had
00:24:29a chance to rest.
00:24:30It's not been an hour
00:24:31since your fight
00:24:32against Ny'rith.
00:24:32We need to rest.
00:24:33We need to rest.
00:24:34I think we have to
00:24:35cut our losses
00:24:35and just run.
00:24:37I fear.
00:24:38That's what I think.
00:24:39What do you all think?
00:24:40I don't think
00:24:41we can beat these trolls.
00:24:42We use so much magic.
00:24:43I use all the longbows.
00:24:45I don't have
00:24:46any more power.
00:24:47So we got to just
00:24:48book it and run?
00:24:49We have to run.
00:24:50We just cut our walk
00:24:51and we leave the soul.
00:24:52And then where do we go?
00:24:53Just outside
00:24:53and hang out?
00:24:54Probably to the end
00:24:55to rest.
00:24:56Yeah, yeah.
00:24:57And then just hope
00:24:58to try to find Kiki
00:24:59or intercept on her way here.
00:25:00Yeah.
00:25:02Okay.
00:25:03All right.
00:25:04I love that the guards
00:25:05and Nights have to let us
00:25:05confer with each other
00:25:06before they start attacking.
00:25:07Yeah.
00:25:08One of them says,
00:25:09hey, speak up.
00:25:10And you see another one
00:25:11says, let them have a minute.
00:25:14Let them have a minute.
00:25:15They're very nice.
00:25:16We're here to police
00:25:18the souls of the dead,
00:25:19not be rude.
00:25:21Is this a problem
00:25:22where Kairz has your face?
00:25:22Can you just ask them
00:25:23to let us go?
00:25:24And we gave back
00:25:26the thing, you have it.
00:25:27You have the offense.
00:25:28Can we just go?
00:25:29You do realize also
00:25:30that if Nyreth gets his thing back,
00:25:32he'll probably stop
00:25:33chasing you as well.
00:25:34Is there anything you,
00:25:35are there any powers
00:25:35or any more?
00:25:36Yeah, but the guards have.
00:25:37Yeah, we're letting the guards have it.
00:25:39The guards are going to give it back to him
00:25:40and we're going to ask.
00:25:41Or honestly, let them fight it out.
00:25:42Yeah, that's what I'm thinking
00:25:43is going to happen.
00:25:44Yeah, because they probably
00:25:44want a soul too, for whatever.
00:25:46Are there any powers
00:25:47or abilities you use
00:25:48in this moment?
00:25:48Are you just going to?
00:25:49Okay, I can.
00:25:50Okay.
00:25:50I can use my fog cloud.
00:25:52I can create a deep bank
00:25:54of concealing fog
00:25:55which will help us escape
00:25:56the clutches of these guards.
00:25:58We're just going to run again.
00:26:00Yes.
00:26:00Got it.
00:26:00Incredible.
00:26:01What does it look like
00:26:02as Troianne casts fog cloud?
00:26:04I begin to, like,
00:26:05I open my gills up
00:26:06and I just begin to
00:26:07like I'm holding my breath
00:26:09with a push out
00:26:10and it's creating vapor
00:26:11from the water condensation
00:26:13in my body
00:26:13and making a huge cloud.
00:26:16The mist billows
00:26:17in all directions
00:26:18from Troianne.
00:26:19Is this magical darkness?
00:26:20Yes, you can see in this.
00:26:22Absolutely.
00:26:22So as this happens
00:26:23all of you are fine
00:26:24and you still have
00:26:26that pass without trace
00:26:27so all of you
00:26:27are going to roll stealth.
00:26:29Because of fog cloud
00:26:29you're going to roll
00:26:30with advantage.
00:26:31So roll twice.
00:26:32Take the better
00:26:32of the two rolls.
00:26:33Rolling has not been our friend.
00:26:35No, not so far.
00:26:36Oh, I'm rolling two now.
00:26:36You're rolling two.
00:26:3719.
00:26:3819, okay.
00:26:39Sound good.
00:26:40Yes.
00:26:41Gertie.
00:26:42Hell yeah.
00:26:44Okay.
00:26:45So, ooh.
00:26:46Okay, that's a 19.
00:26:47Plus 10.
00:26:4929.
00:26:50Plus 5.
00:26:5134.
00:26:52Okay, some truly mammoth rolls here.
00:26:54Incredible.
00:26:54I have a 3.
00:26:56Jesus.
00:26:56Roll again.
00:26:57Record.
00:26:58I'm not doing it on purpose.
00:27:04A 10.
00:27:05A 10, okay.
00:27:05Plus a 3.
00:27:07Plus another 10.
00:27:08So 23.
00:27:08It's a 23.
00:27:09Okay, and Alaska.
00:27:10I rolled a 13 plus a 3.
00:27:1216.
00:27:12And then plus 10
00:27:13from that is 26.
00:27:15Kerwin rolls a 28.
00:27:17All of you band together.
00:27:19The fog erupts
00:27:20and you flee to the shadows
00:27:21and make your way
00:27:23and can hear in the background
00:27:24as you rush through
00:27:25the alleyways of Hollowgrave.
00:27:27Gentlemen, I think you'll find
00:27:28that the curio you've obtained
00:27:29actually belongs to
00:27:30Easy there,
00:27:32Easy there,
00:27:32Jackalface.
00:27:33And you see that there's
00:27:34because you hear like
00:27:35a little scuffle
00:27:35between the guards
00:27:36and Nyreth back there.
00:27:39We just hear it.
00:27:40You just hear it.
00:27:41I mean,
00:27:41you can circle back to watch.
00:27:42I'm not.
00:27:43We have to go.
00:27:43Okay, we gotta go.
00:27:44Okay, curiosity.
00:27:45You got me.
00:27:46I kind of like
00:27:47Curiosity to kill the witch.
00:27:48Well, Jack is kind of curious.
00:27:50The hour draws Nye.
00:27:51Like, you know
00:27:52that you have to go to Shalila.
00:27:53You're a soul short,
00:27:54which has never happened before,
00:27:56but it is what it is.
00:27:57Either you're gonna,
00:27:58like, either you're gonna leave
00:27:59her waiting for maybe,
00:28:00you know,
00:28:01Kina to get here
00:28:02or you're gonna go talk to her.
00:28:04But either way,
00:28:05you know,
00:28:05the inn is sort of
00:28:06your last hope.
00:28:08So part of me thinks
00:28:09that we're at the inn.
00:28:11We are near water.
00:28:12Maybe we can catch her resting
00:28:14to recharge her amulet
00:28:16near the water.
00:28:18And we can catch her,
00:28:19maybe,
00:28:20but we have to rest.
00:28:21We know that we have to rest.
00:28:22Yeah.
00:28:23So I think that we,
00:28:24because we need to recharge
00:28:25our powers.
00:28:26I say we get to the inn.
00:28:28Everyone gets some sleep.
00:28:29And then we can reconvene
00:28:30in the morning.
00:28:31How long has it been
00:28:31since we started this?
00:28:32There's no time here.
00:28:33When you were in the mortal world,
00:28:35you left Greeley
00:28:36in the middle of the night.
00:28:37So it's probably been
00:28:38a couple hours of traveling.
00:28:40So it's like you've been,
00:28:41you've been hiking all night,
00:28:43have survived two combats,
00:28:45and now it's like past
00:28:46what would normally be dawn for you.
00:28:48Obviously,
00:28:48the underworld has no sun or moon.
00:28:50Yeah.
00:28:51But for you,
00:28:52you've been awake probably
00:28:53for like 24 hours now.
00:28:55Work.
00:28:56So it is nighttime again upstairs.
00:28:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:58That's for sure.
00:28:59All right,
00:29:00we need to lay our asses down.
00:29:01Yeah, we need to go to the inn.
00:29:02Walking into the inn
00:29:03of the empty glass,
00:29:05you see a number of
00:29:06sort of cobwebs
00:29:08all throughout this space,
00:29:10creaking wooden stairs.
00:29:11Everything,
00:29:12you realize the wood
00:29:12of this place
00:29:13is all made of coffin wood.
00:29:15And you see behind the bar
00:29:17are a number of bottles
00:29:18with different symbols
00:29:20and glyphs on them.
00:29:22The symbols seem to register
00:29:24different feelings or emotions.
00:29:26You remember Nyrith
00:29:27talking about happy memories
00:29:29and you wonder
00:29:30if he doesn't take those memories
00:29:31and make them into whatever's
00:29:32in these bottles out here
00:29:34that the dead drink
00:29:36as they wait in this town.
00:29:39Looking behind the bar
00:29:41is a beautiful woman.
00:29:44She wears a sort of
00:29:46black leather corset.
00:29:48Her skin is pale white.
00:29:50She has long black hair
00:29:52that covers one eye.
00:29:53Sort of those like
00:29:54fingerless black leather gloves.
00:29:57Cher.
00:29:57Cher.
00:29:58Cher.
00:29:59Cher's here.
00:30:00Tran, you recognize this person.
00:30:02She smiles with blood red lips,
00:30:04two fangs extended.
00:30:06This is Damia.
00:30:07She is the vampire bartender here.
00:30:10She makes a really good margarita.
00:30:12I was assuming her Bloody Mary
00:30:13would be...
00:30:13Wouldn't it be a sangria?
00:30:16I was assuming the Bloody Mary
00:30:17would be kind of your specialty.
00:30:18That's where she gets you.
00:30:19You'd think it'd be the Bloody Mary.
00:30:19And she's like, actually?
00:30:21I'm making a margarita.
00:30:23Yeah, yeah.
00:30:23Exactly.
00:30:24She's like, it's too hack.
00:30:25Don't put me in a corner.
00:30:26I'm making a fucking great margarita.
00:30:28It's too hack to make the Bloody Mary.
00:30:30Getting the triple sec down here
00:30:31is a nightmare.
00:30:33So you see that she looks and says,
00:30:36Troy-Ann.
00:30:37Hey, girl.
00:30:38I've been expecting you.
00:30:39She hops over the bar,
00:30:41gives you a cold embrace,
00:30:42but as warm as she can make it.
00:30:44And says,
00:30:46haven't seen you with company before.
00:30:48Everyone, welcome to the end of the empty glass.
00:30:52Can I help you?
00:30:53Our libations are not truly for the living,
00:30:55but we do have rooms for...
00:30:57Dee, that's what we need.
00:30:59We need rests.
00:31:00We have had a very long journey.
00:31:02We need to relax.
00:31:02She nods and says,
00:31:05absolutely.
00:31:06There's a room upstairs for you if you want.
00:31:07I should tell you,
00:31:08Shalila's out right now,
00:31:10but she's been waiting here all day.
00:31:12Mm-hmm.
00:31:12So do you,
00:31:13if she comes back,
00:31:14should I tell her that you're here or...
00:31:17No, speak not a word to anyone that I'm here.
00:31:20And by the way,
00:31:21can I have the suite?
00:31:23The suite?
00:31:23You can have the suite,
00:31:25but if someone comes and asks for it,
00:31:26I gotta sell it.
00:31:27That's fine.
00:31:28That's fine.
00:31:28Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:31:29We're looking for an important ask for.
00:31:31I don't want to run into anyone else
00:31:32until I've had a full night.
00:31:34I'm exhausted.
00:31:35She shows you up to this suite,
00:31:38and as she opens it up,
00:31:39it has cryptic,
00:31:41lace,
00:31:42Victorian,
00:31:43kind of gothic ambiance.
00:31:44Huge canopy bed
00:31:46with kind of like
00:31:46funereal lace covering it.
00:31:48What's her name again?
00:31:49Damia.
00:31:50Damia.
00:31:51Damia Lovato.
00:31:52She's the thing stranger in my house,
00:31:54Damia.
00:31:55Damia.
00:31:56Oh, Damia.
00:31:56No, no, it's different.
00:31:58There's a demon in my house.
00:31:59There's a demon.
00:32:00Now I look at Damia,
00:32:01I know you don't hear this much here,
00:32:02but I'm living for this place.
00:32:05A little living humor.
00:32:08You see, she smiles and says,
00:32:10hey, you know,
00:32:11I try to keep a classy establishment.
00:32:13A lot of the people that come in here
00:32:14are like dripping from eternal sores and stuff.
00:32:17I wish I had a better class of clientele,
00:32:20but that was the break,
00:32:21so what are you going to do?
00:32:23So sweet is yours.
00:32:25I won't tell anyone you're here.
00:32:27I hope you enjoy the place.
00:32:28We have no food that doesn't turn to ash in your mouth,
00:32:31but you at least can rest here for a while.
00:32:34And I'll just say,
00:32:36and I know Troianne knows this,
00:32:38but the room is obviously free.
00:32:41And if any of you feel like you don't want all of your blood
00:32:46or there's a little bit of your blood
00:32:47that you could do without,
00:32:50then that's for you to decide,
00:32:52and I'm not going to be pushy about it,
00:32:53but it's just I don't get a chance to feed very often.
00:32:57How about some playing cards?
00:33:00We'll sleep on it.
00:33:02Sleep on it.
00:33:02Sleep on it.
00:33:05You see,
00:33:06Damiya goes to the door and goes like,
00:33:07and just sort of pauses and says,
00:33:09you know,
00:33:09some people say it feels really good,
00:33:11so something to think about.
00:33:12All right.
00:33:13Noted.
00:33:14I have a question for you.
00:33:16Okay.
00:33:17Does the herbalism kit,
00:33:18does this help heal us
00:33:19or does it speed up anything?
00:33:20Yes,
00:33:21you can speed up the healing process here for sure.
00:33:23And is this something I use for all of us
00:33:24or is this like a-
00:33:25No,
00:33:25you can use it for all of you.
00:33:26Yeah,
00:33:26absolutely.
00:33:27Okay.
00:33:27So I want to,
00:33:28maybe so we don't have to sleep as long.
00:33:30We don't want Kiki showing up in the middle of the night
00:33:32and we're just sitting here.
00:33:33We don't want Shalita to find out where we are.
00:33:35So I'm just going to try to herbalism kit us
00:33:37to make sure we can just,
00:33:39instead of a full eight hours of sleep,
00:33:40maybe like,
00:33:40I don't know,
00:33:41like get it down to-
00:33:4112 minutes.
00:33:42I don't know.
00:33:43What's realistic?
00:33:44Well,
00:33:44I guess it depends on what I roll.
00:33:45Yeah,
00:33:45let's make a roll.
00:33:46Let's roll about it.
00:33:47So give me a d20 roll.
00:33:48You're going to add a plus.
00:33:49I'm going to say this is proficiency
00:33:50plus your intelligence.
00:33:53So this will be a plus seven.
00:33:54And I like the CBD,
00:33:55not the TRC.
00:33:56Do you already know my intelligence?
00:33:57My intelligence is a plus four,
00:33:58then plus seven?
00:33:59Plus four.
00:34:00And then your proficiency bonus is plus three.
00:34:01So we're going to add the four and the three
00:34:03to make a seven.
00:34:03Seven.
00:34:04Okay.
00:34:05I'm trying to get us,
00:34:06see how quickly we can heal.
00:34:07Okay.
00:34:08Come on,
00:34:0820.
00:34:09Nat 20.
00:34:10It's a three.
00:34:12Again?
00:34:13However,
00:34:13I will point out that all of you have the ability
00:34:15to give the help action
00:34:16when you are in like downtime,
00:34:19when it's a little bit quieter.
00:34:20So if someone wants to help Gertrude,
00:34:22you'd actually be able to roll with advantage.
00:34:26All right.
00:34:27So go ahead and roll again.
00:34:28The train was over sitting on her thumbs.
00:34:32That's all I had to do to help?
00:34:3419.
00:34:3519.
00:34:3626, baby.
00:34:3726.
00:34:38Woo.
00:34:38So Twyla,
00:34:39so I think the way this help works out is
00:34:41you have some really powerful teas,
00:34:44different herbs, potions, tinctures,
00:34:47things like that.
00:34:47But as you begin to unpack your herbalism kit,
00:34:50you actually see that the underworld,
00:34:52that wind that's been like drinking at your life,
00:34:54you're all powerful adventurers,
00:34:56so you've been able to withstand it.
00:34:57But like the herbs and leaves in your kit
00:35:00have kind of like rotted a little bit.
00:35:03And I think Twyla's help is like
00:35:06a little bit of your druid craft.
00:35:08You can breathe some life back into those leaves.
00:35:15And all of you have this very powerful tea
00:35:17that actually does like fill your stomach
00:35:19and make you feel as though you have like,
00:35:22almost like you feel satiated as if you'd had a meal.
00:35:25So Gertrude's wearing like a boot up to the ankle.
00:35:27She kicks her shoes off.
00:35:28She goes over to the corner in the kitchen area
00:35:30and she starts mixing up these teas.
00:35:32And she is exhausted.
00:35:33She has her hands on the counter.
00:35:34She is breathing heavy.
00:35:36She's avoiding eye contact
00:35:37because she's embarrassed herself
00:35:39several times on this journey.
00:35:41And she's hoping to herself
00:35:42that I just met these girls.
00:35:43Maybe if I give them this tea
00:35:45and help us put them,
00:35:46I can get back in favor
00:35:47because I don't want them to not like me
00:35:48because I really want to be liked.
00:35:51So she's like mixing up her teas.
00:35:53And then she brings the drinks over
00:35:54and she goes,
00:35:55hey, I got some tea for everyone.
00:35:58Here's a cup, a teacup for you.
00:36:00A teacup for you.
00:36:01I put yours in a bucket.
00:36:02Hey.
00:36:02And they all sit down
00:36:06and drink their teas.
00:36:08You feel restored
00:36:09and you see Kerwin kind of sad.
00:36:12Oh, where's Kerwin?
00:36:13Yeah, Kerwin's right here
00:36:14with all of you.
00:36:15This whole time?
00:36:16This whole time?
00:36:16Well, he wasn't fighting.
00:36:17He had to say shit.
00:36:18See, he looks and goes,
00:36:21well, the tea looks awful good,
00:36:24but I suppose it wouldn't do
00:36:26a dead soul any good to have some.
00:36:27Well, I neither sleep nor rest.
00:36:34If you want me to watch God
00:36:35out in the hallway
00:36:36or while you're resting,
00:36:38skulk around town
00:36:39to keep an eye out,
00:36:40I can do that.
00:36:41Absolutely.
00:36:41Do you know Shalila?
00:36:43I know her well.
00:36:44If you see her,
00:36:45please tell us.
00:36:46And describe your cousin.
00:36:47So Kiki, she is kind of built like me
00:36:50except her skin is green
00:36:52as I'm blue
00:36:53and she has long black hair
00:36:55and she's a very fit warrior.
00:36:57So be careful if you see her.
00:36:59Well, I will keep myself ready.
00:37:03You see, he steps out into the hallway,
00:37:06heads out.
00:37:07All of you have this time to rest.
00:37:10The howling winds of the underworld outside
00:37:13enclosed in this suite
00:37:15to hear at the end of the empty glass.
00:37:17But within an hour of resting,
00:37:20you have the benefit
00:37:21of a full night's sleep.
00:37:23Woo, that night team.
00:37:24Thank God.
00:37:25There we go.
00:37:26Not only do you have like your spells
00:37:27and abilities back to full,
00:37:29but also that damage
00:37:30you took from the river is healed.
00:37:32Oh, great.
00:37:32You feel the tea restoring you
00:37:34and there's this warm feeling of life
00:37:37and stability
00:37:38and a little bit of being centered
00:37:40here in this space.
00:37:42After an hour has passed,
00:37:44you hear a knock at the door.
00:37:48It's Kerwin.
00:37:50I've come back after exploring.
00:37:53There are guests downstairs.
00:37:56I found neither hide nor hair
00:37:58of your cousin,
00:37:59but Shalila waits
00:38:02with her entourage downstairs.
00:38:04She does not know you are here,
00:38:06but she is there.
00:38:08How many people are in the entourage?
00:38:10Four.
00:38:11We cannot fight these people.
00:38:13You don't have to convince.
00:38:14You don't have to convince.
00:38:15Go out the window up onto the roof
00:38:16like a, you know,
00:38:18the sheets out the window,
00:38:19that kind of thing.
00:38:20Okay, you can fight.
00:38:21Could you pick us up?
00:38:22Well, I could pick us up,
00:38:24but couldn't we just do
00:38:25another pass without trace?
00:38:26Well, you can't really move.
00:38:27You can't move a lot
00:38:28when you do the pass.
00:38:29You have to kind of like hide.
00:38:30Is that the thing?
00:38:31Yeah, you have to be trying to hide.
00:38:32So you'd have to like sneak out
00:38:34another way potentially.
00:38:35Okay.
00:38:36Which is possible to do.
00:38:38Kerwin speaks at the door
00:38:40and says,
00:38:41if you wish to avoid Shalila,
00:38:44I can make a distraction
00:38:45and try to get you some space.
00:38:48But without a soul to give,
00:38:54you will probably pay the price.
00:38:57Either way.
00:38:58We gotta, oh, wait.
00:38:59We gotta, we can't, okay.
00:39:01What if you just say,
00:39:02hey, I got six.
00:39:03Yeah, it's Shalila the type
00:39:07to be like,
00:39:07just get me next time.
00:39:09Our, our, um,
00:39:11edge, edge, edge river.
00:39:13Everdeep.
00:39:14In Everdeep,
00:39:15my mother has vowed
00:39:17to give seven souls per season.
00:39:19Can't show with any less.
00:39:20You had a whole season of-
00:39:21That's 28 souls a year.
00:39:24Great job, Twyla.
00:39:26That's awesome.
00:39:26Hot of souls, baby.
00:39:28She's really mapping over here.
00:39:30Yeah, I was really good at math.
00:39:31I love that.
00:39:32So, we cannot,
00:39:33I cannot show without less than seven.
00:39:37How do we get your cousin to come here?
00:39:39Maybe she's not coming.
00:39:40Maybe she's dead.
00:39:41Well, she,
00:39:42maybe she's already there.
00:39:43We don't know.
00:39:44We have to go get her.
00:39:45We have to fight her.
00:39:46Okay, here's our other option.
00:39:48We're not going back to fight the Jekyll.
00:39:50He's, he whooped our ass.
00:39:51We're done with Jekyll.
00:39:52We're done.
00:39:53We have arrested now.
00:39:54We're more powerful again.
00:39:55No, we're done with Jekyll.
00:39:57We're done.
00:39:57Yeah.
00:39:58So, we have to,
00:39:59we're done with the Jekyll car.
00:40:01I mean.
00:40:03We have to go.
00:40:04It's what we,
00:40:05our only option is to find your cousin
00:40:06and get the soul from her.
00:40:07We literally have to.
00:40:09There's no,
00:40:09there's no other option that we have.
00:40:11Isn't she here?
00:40:12She's not here.
00:40:12We don't know where she is,
00:40:13we haven't seen her.
00:40:14Well, let's fucking find her.
00:40:15Do you like do like some kind of whale call?
00:40:18Well, I do have a thing.
00:40:19I do have a thing,
00:40:20but doesn't she need to be there?
00:40:22It's the hunter's mark.
00:40:23Hunter's mark is a power that lets you deal,
00:40:26you put it on someone
00:40:27and you deal more damage
00:40:28when you strike them.
00:40:29Okay, so that doesn't matter right now.
00:40:32I don't have anything
00:40:32that can help us through this.
00:40:34On the plus that,
00:40:34we are rested.
00:40:35We got that going for us.
00:40:36Kerwin at the door
00:40:37speaks up and says,
00:40:38There is a way for you
00:40:46to maybe buy some time,
00:40:48Troianne.
00:40:49Shalila.
00:40:50Listening.
00:40:51Shalila is the servant
00:40:53of none other than Thanara.
00:40:57She reports directly to her,
00:40:59the goddess of death.
00:41:01When the souls are given to her,
00:41:03she will take them directly
00:41:04to her mistress.
00:41:06Her mistress,
00:41:07the goddess,
00:41:08will be able to tell instantly
00:41:10if a soul is worthy or not.
00:41:14But Shalila may not.
00:41:17It is possible that you could put
00:41:19a soul in the amulet for a time.
00:41:22And if you could somehow beat Shalila
00:41:25to Thanara's castle,
00:41:28the Tower of Tombs
00:41:30in the center of the underworld,
00:41:32you might buy yourself some time
00:41:34to find your cousin,
00:41:35find a worthy soul,
00:41:36something else like that.
00:41:38It's an option.
00:41:40So you're offering?
00:41:41Where are we going to get a soul from?
00:41:42Him.
00:41:43He's dead.
00:41:44He has no soul.
00:41:45Twyla?
00:41:47All right.
00:41:51Honestly, I'll disguise myself
00:41:53as a soul.
00:41:54Here's a question.
00:41:55If one of us
00:41:57offers our soul,
00:41:59will we become undead
00:42:00in this moment?
00:42:01Your soul will be captured
00:42:03in the gem.
00:42:03You'll be fully captured
00:42:04in the gem.
00:42:05The whole thing.
00:42:06You're not walking around undead.
00:42:07You're in there.
00:42:08You are fully in there.
00:42:10How do I get out then?
00:42:11Well,
00:42:12you don't sacrifice yourself yet.
00:42:14Yeah, we don't.
00:42:14However,
00:42:15all of the dead
00:42:16wandering the streets
00:42:17of Hollowgrave
00:42:18are themselves like spirits.
00:42:19They are souls.
00:42:20So you could go find
00:42:21someone on the street.
00:42:22What about Kerwin?
00:42:23That's what I'm talking about.
00:42:24No, no, no.
00:42:25He's nice.
00:42:25This is a trap.
00:42:26Let's go just beat up someone.
00:42:27Let's go find someone
00:42:28who's doing no good.
00:42:30The true Gertie showing.
00:42:32Let's go kill someone.
00:42:34First of all,
00:42:35they're already dead.
00:42:36We got to find someone
00:42:37who's up to no good.
00:42:38We should have kept Wallace.
00:42:40If we can get one of those guards
00:42:42by themselves,
00:42:43if we can find someone out there,
00:42:44there's got to be
00:42:45some bad people down here.
00:42:46Someone deserves it.
00:42:48I'm sure they're attracted
00:42:49to Faye's.
00:42:50I can work my magic.
00:42:51We got to get one.
00:42:52Kerwin looks around
00:42:53and gestures to
00:42:54like a sort of
00:42:55small external staircase
00:42:56almost like a fire escape
00:42:57at the back of the inn
00:42:58going down to the street
00:42:59that you could sneak out,
00:43:00grab somebody
00:43:02to stuff in that amulet
00:43:04and try to pass it off
00:43:05to Shalila
00:43:06to at least buy yourself
00:43:07some time.
00:43:09I mean,
00:43:09that sounds like
00:43:10a good option.
00:43:11And is there any,
00:43:12is there any chance
00:43:13that Demia can offer,
00:43:15if one of us lets her
00:43:16get a little blood,
00:43:17I don't even want to know
00:43:18what happens when you do that.
00:43:19Can she help us
00:43:20with something?
00:43:21Well,
00:43:21do you think she'll
00:43:22let us?
00:43:23If we go get someone
00:43:24to get,
00:43:26oh no,
00:43:26but we're the only people
00:43:26with blood down here.
00:43:27She has the most blood
00:43:28because she's the tallest,
00:43:29so I volunteer here.
00:43:30We could offer her some blood
00:43:31and she will lend us
00:43:32her soul
00:43:33for a moment.
00:43:35We can't promise
00:43:35she's going to get it back,
00:43:36but we can ask.
00:43:37This is not fair.
00:43:38She has a business to run.
00:43:39She's a single.
00:43:40We're asking.
00:43:40We're not demanding.
00:43:41We're asking.
00:43:41She's a single mom
00:43:42who works three jobs.
00:43:43She loves her kids,
00:43:45a single single hand
00:43:46in the heart of a fire.
00:43:47She loves her kids,
00:43:47and she never stopped.
00:43:48Kerwin runs down
00:43:49and a moment later
00:43:50comes up
00:43:50and you see Demia
00:43:51at the doorway saying,
00:43:52hey,
00:43:53Kerwin brought me up here.
00:43:54You know Shalila's downstairs,
00:43:55right?
00:43:56We know.
00:43:57We know.
00:43:57Okay.
00:43:58Demia,
00:43:58hear us out.
00:43:59Okay.
00:44:00If we let you drink
00:44:01of one of us
00:44:02for blood,
00:44:03can you get us a soul?
00:44:07What,
00:44:07like a good one?
00:44:08It just has to be
00:44:09good enough for now.
00:44:11I got some,
00:44:11I got some,
00:44:12I got some souls.
00:44:13I mean,
00:44:14hopefully they did
00:44:14like some charity work
00:44:15sometimes and they,
00:44:16you know.
00:44:17I gotta,
00:44:18yeah,
00:44:19I can,
00:44:20I'm trying to think
00:44:20of charity work.
00:44:21Would you consider,
00:44:23would you consider someone
00:44:24who,
00:44:25there's a guy I have
00:44:26in a gym downstairs
00:44:27who like had a thing
00:44:28in college
00:44:29where he stood
00:44:29on a sidewalk
00:44:30with a free hugs sign?
00:44:32Oh,
00:44:32I'll take it.
00:44:33That sounds sweet.
00:44:34Okay.
00:44:34Sounds like a double major
00:44:35of bullshit and bullshit.
00:44:38I'll go get free hugs guy.
00:44:40Does it,
00:44:40and I really appreciate
00:44:42the blood thing.
00:44:42Is there,
00:44:43is this not like
00:44:44everyone's gonna get in on it
00:44:45or just,
00:44:45take as much as you want.
00:44:47Wait,
00:44:47if we give a little bit
00:44:48of all of ours
00:44:48then it's not a big deal
00:44:49because if it does do
00:44:50some damage,
00:44:50it probably will.
00:44:51But I can heal her.
00:44:52If we all do
00:44:52just a little bit
00:44:53then it's not as big
00:44:55because this could hurt her.
00:44:56So if we all do
00:44:57just a little,
00:44:57is that a thing?
00:44:58Yeah.
00:44:58Damiya looks and says,
00:44:59no, no, no, no.
00:45:00It's just,
00:45:01you know,
00:45:02like princess,
00:45:04a woman of your height
00:45:05and build
00:45:06can probably give a leader
00:45:07a completely comfortable lead.
00:45:09A leader?
00:45:09Her veins are the size
00:45:10of my neck.
00:45:10You're happy with a leader?
00:45:11Fine.
00:45:12I'd be happy with a drop.
00:45:13A leader is gonna do me.
00:45:14A leader.
00:45:15I just met her.
00:45:16She just said.
00:45:17Papa Bane, baby.
00:45:19Slap them mother...
00:45:20So then...
00:45:21So at this point,
00:45:24Gertrude
00:45:24takes her backpack off
00:45:26and undoes the buckle
00:45:28and straps it around.
00:45:30Straps it around.
00:45:32Princess's arm
00:45:33to get a vein.
00:45:34I didn't know
00:45:34that you were
00:45:35a pleboponist.
00:45:36Gertrude.
00:45:37Gertrude.
00:45:37Gertrude.
00:45:38Gertrude, honey.
00:45:39You see,
00:45:40Damiya starts like
00:45:40salivating blood
00:45:41and is like,
00:45:42I really appreciate this.
00:45:44She runs downstairs,
00:45:45comes back up with...
00:45:47It's like...
00:45:47The other gem
00:45:48you saw was like
00:45:48pulsing red.
00:45:49This one's red,
00:45:51but you just see
00:45:52a guy who's like
00:45:53sort of scruffy,
00:45:54is wearing like
00:45:55a stained sweatshirt
00:45:56and a cardboard sign
00:45:57that says free hugs
00:45:58inside of this little gem.
00:46:00This is me every December
00:46:01when I don't do drag
00:46:02for a month.
00:46:03Playing Fortnite,
00:46:04oh my God.
00:46:07There's just huge
00:46:08Dave Matthews band energy
00:46:09kind of emanating
00:46:10from the gem.
00:46:11Oh.
00:46:12You see,
00:46:13she hands the gem
00:46:15over to you,
00:46:15Troianne,
00:46:16and you...
00:46:17It enters the amulet,
00:46:19and the amulet glows.
00:46:20It is filled,
00:46:21even though one of the souls
00:46:21in it is not worthy.
00:46:23You see,
00:46:23she goes,
00:46:24thank you so much for this.
00:46:26And then you got...
00:46:27Do you...
00:46:28Is everyone gonna stay
00:46:29in the room?
00:46:29We're gonna watch,
00:46:30we're gonna not watch.
00:46:30Do you want us to be here?
00:46:32Yeah.
00:46:32I think we should.
00:46:33We'll turn our backs,
00:46:34but we'll give you
00:46:35a little bit of privacy,
00:46:35but we are...
00:46:36We are here.
00:46:37For sure.
00:46:38I'm actually watching.
00:46:39Yeah.
00:46:39But we're turned on.
00:46:40I'm just...
00:46:41Damiya goes...
00:46:44And again,
00:46:44some people tell me
00:46:45this feels good.
00:46:47Fangs to stand,
00:46:48and she...
00:46:48bites into your arm.
00:46:52You see bits of blood
00:46:54draining down her chin.
00:46:56I'm a leader.
00:46:56Don't get greedy.
00:46:59Go ahead and give me
00:47:00a constitution saving throw.
00:47:03Constitution.
00:47:05Okay.
00:47:06All right.
00:47:08Eight plus seven.
00:47:11Fifteen.
00:47:12A great roll.
00:47:13What does it feel like
00:47:13to princess as this vampire
00:47:15wraps her lips around your arm
00:47:16and begins to drink
00:47:17the blood out from your arm?
00:47:18What's going through
00:47:19princess's mind?
00:47:20I think it does feel
00:47:21kind of good.
00:47:22She kind of likes pain.
00:47:24So it feels kind of weird
00:47:26and good.
00:47:27Yeah.
00:47:27There's this feeling of like
00:47:28you can feel your heart rate
00:47:30kind of pick up
00:47:31as the blood goes
00:47:32through your arms.
00:47:33Damiya.
00:47:35And you can see her body
00:47:37like fills with power.
00:47:38Her eyes kind of shimmer
00:47:39for a second.
00:47:42It's been many years.
00:47:47And that's royal blood, baby.
00:47:50This is sweeter.
00:47:51It's very special.
00:47:52And I don't know,
00:47:54you know,
00:47:55if this is a casual thing
00:47:56to you,
00:47:57that's totally fine.
00:47:58But if you want to talk later,
00:48:00I don't want to put anything
00:48:01on you,
00:48:02but I feel,
00:48:02I feel very connected
00:48:03to people after.
00:48:04It's friends with benefits now.
00:48:06I'll see you around.
00:48:09Princess knows how to
00:48:10let him down easy.
00:48:12Yeah.
00:48:12Yeah.
00:48:12I'll see you around.
00:48:13Obviously.
00:48:14Obviously.
00:48:14And thank you.
00:48:15And thank you so much
00:48:15for that.
00:48:17Be normal.
00:48:18And you see she walks
00:48:19out of the room
00:48:20and Kerwin looks at you
00:48:21and says,
00:48:23as your uncle,
00:48:23that was strange
00:48:24for me to be in here.
00:48:27He is a woman now.
00:48:29I know you're an adult.
00:48:30You have your own life.
00:48:31But to me,
00:48:31you will always be
00:48:32that little girl.
00:48:33So,
00:48:34your full amulet.
00:48:36Finally.
00:48:36Are you ready to go down there
00:48:37and I say let's go
00:48:39talk to Shalila.
00:48:40Is she friendly?
00:48:42Shalila is not friendly.
00:48:43Jesus.
00:48:44How tall is she?
00:48:45Is anyone here nice?
00:48:46I'm just worried
00:48:46that she gets upset
00:48:47by that amulet
00:48:48not being the last soul
00:48:50being tainted.
00:48:51She doesn't know.
00:48:51She's a collector.
00:48:53Yeah, she knows.
00:48:55No, he just said
00:48:55she doesn't know.
00:48:56Oh, yeah.
00:48:57She won't be able to tell
00:48:58but her mistress
00:48:59will be able to tell.
00:49:00Mistress.
00:49:00That's what I'm talking
00:49:01about.
00:49:01Mistress Shalila.
00:49:02But then she has
00:49:02to bring it to her.
00:49:03Maybe she can slow her ass down.
00:49:04So, the goddess of death,
00:49:05Thanara will be able to tell
00:49:06but Shalila will hopefully be deceived.
00:49:08Thanara will be very upset
00:49:10if we do.
00:49:10So, we have been able
00:49:12to buy ourselves some time.
00:49:13So, in the event
00:49:14that she takes it over,
00:49:15that Shalila takes it over
00:49:16to her
00:49:16and by the time we get there
00:49:18we're like,
00:49:18ha ha, just kidding.
00:49:19Sorry, I put the wrong one in there.
00:49:20I hate when that happens.
00:49:22Can I get that one back
00:49:23and I'll give you this one.
00:49:24She'll be pretty chill.
00:49:24We gotta,
00:49:25we just bought ourselves some time.
00:49:27Yeah, we did.
00:49:27Okay.
00:49:28So, we head down.
00:49:29You head down.
00:49:29In the room down here
00:49:30you see there are several
00:49:31suits of armor
00:49:34that within their visors
00:49:35you see there are no bodies
00:49:37within them
00:49:38but instead of pale,
00:49:39ghostly mist
00:49:40and two points
00:49:42of white light,
00:49:44the spirits
00:49:44spirits of these dead knights
00:49:46animate their old armor
00:49:48that just stands
00:49:49flanking
00:49:50a woman
00:49:51that sits
00:49:52at the
00:49:53sort of main table
00:49:55in the common room.
00:49:56She has
00:49:56a black velvet gown
00:49:59with silver brocade,
00:50:00a long cloak
00:50:02that looks to be made
00:50:03of almost
00:50:04oil,
00:50:05a sheen
00:50:06of black fabric
00:50:07that flows like liquid.
00:50:08her dark skin
00:50:10and her
00:50:11midnight black lips
00:50:13and two
00:50:14pure
00:50:16black eyes
00:50:17like sharks
00:50:18that shimmer
00:50:19with white light
00:50:20as she blinks.
00:50:21You see
00:50:21long decorated
00:50:23silver braids
00:50:24cascades around her
00:50:25and you see
00:50:26that she has
00:50:27sort of a
00:50:28almost phantom
00:50:28of the opera style,
00:50:29a partial mask
00:50:31that covers
00:50:31a half of her face
00:50:33and you can see
00:50:33peeking out
00:50:35from under the edge
00:50:35of the mask
00:50:36a hint
00:50:37of death
00:50:38and rot.
00:50:41Trianne,
00:50:43I have been
00:50:44waiting here
00:50:44for some time.
00:50:45You are later
00:50:46than usual
00:50:46and you come
00:50:47bearing
00:50:48strange company.
00:50:58We're in training.
00:51:00Give me a deception check.
00:51:01God damn it.
00:51:02Why did I say anything?
00:51:03Why did I say anything?
00:51:04We're in training.
00:51:06I just rolled
00:51:07a nine
00:51:08plus a what?
00:51:10Is deception in here?
00:51:11Deception.
00:51:11I think it's plus five.
00:51:12Deception plus five.
00:51:14So I'm at a
00:51:1514.
00:51:17You see,
00:51:17she says,
00:51:19you're all training
00:51:20to be merfolk assassins.
00:51:26Incredible.
00:51:27Well,
00:51:27I don't know
00:51:28what's going on
00:51:29up in the world
00:51:29of the living
00:51:30and I don't care
00:51:31to know,
00:51:32but you are very late.
00:51:34Do you have
00:51:34your souls?
00:51:36My sincere apologies.
00:51:38Yes,
00:51:38I do.
00:51:39I look,
00:51:40reach on,
00:51:41and tie the satchel
00:51:42and hand it over.
00:51:43She takes it.
00:51:46Seven souls.
00:51:48Very well done.
00:51:49Drops it in a bag.
00:51:52So I suppose
00:51:53you are all learning
00:51:54to make this trek
00:51:55yourselves.
00:51:57If you are working
00:51:59on Trojan's behalf,
00:52:00you will know me
00:52:01as Shalila of the Half-Mask.
00:52:04I am a servant
00:52:05of these realms
00:52:07and tend to the collection
00:52:08of these souls.
00:52:10How very odd
00:52:12to see you all here.
00:52:14What of your journey now?
00:52:16I presume you will return
00:52:18to the realms above?
00:52:20I'm afraid to speak.
00:52:26Am I speaking for us?
00:52:27I ain't got nothing to say.
00:52:28Talk for us.
00:52:29It's your friend,
00:52:30your colleague.
00:52:31You know her.
00:52:31Yeah,
00:52:32so they came
00:52:34to get to help me
00:52:36to show them
00:52:36what it is
00:52:38to be an expert assassin
00:52:39to get all the souls.
00:52:40Now we're just gonna
00:52:41head back home
00:52:42and we have a game night
00:52:44we're planning for.
00:52:45Playing a new game
00:52:46in Valhalla.
00:52:49Calvorda.
00:52:50Calvorda.
00:52:51Valhalla.
00:52:51Yeah,
00:52:52called Dungeons & Dragons.
00:52:53We're gonna go play that tonight.
00:52:54Oh.
00:52:55How many people can play?
00:52:58Four.
00:52:59A hundred.
00:53:00Four hundred?
00:53:00Stop talking
00:53:02because we're the only one.
00:53:04Jalila says,
00:53:05oh,
00:53:06because I love board games.
00:53:08Oh.
00:53:09What?
00:53:10Twyla.
00:53:12She's gonna bring
00:53:13a whole army.
00:53:14That's fine.
00:53:15A hundred.
00:53:17Jesus.
00:53:18I have 395 close friends.
00:53:22All you gotta do
00:53:22is disguise yourself
00:53:23as the game
00:53:24and then we're gonna be
00:53:24left to fight by ourselves.
00:53:27That's so fun.
00:53:29So how do you play?
00:53:30Is it sort of like
00:53:30a collaborative thing?
00:53:32Are you all playing
00:53:32against the game?
00:53:33We got,
00:53:34we actually,
00:53:34we have to rush back.
00:53:35As you know,
00:53:36her mother is a real,
00:53:37is a real harpy.
00:53:39Oh,
00:53:40yes.
00:53:41Well,
00:53:41of course,
00:53:42anyone who had made a deal
00:53:43to live forever
00:53:44would be.
00:53:45Oh,
00:53:46this is,
00:53:46what?
00:53:48Of what do you speak,
00:53:49my mother?
00:53:50I'm going to need
00:53:52everyone here
00:53:53to make an insight check.
00:53:57I have a nine.
00:53:5914.
00:54:0014.
00:54:00You got lucky hands,
00:54:01bitch.
00:54:01I have a 16.
00:54:0216.
00:54:04Nine.
00:54:04We're both at nine.
00:54:05Yeah.
00:54:06So,
00:54:07as you say,
00:54:07what do you mean?
00:54:08You see,
00:54:08she looks at you
00:54:09and you immediately see
00:54:10a look of concern
00:54:11on her face.
00:54:13She looks at you.
00:54:15Surely,
00:54:15I do not say anything
00:54:16that you are not
00:54:17already aware of.
00:54:19I do not know
00:54:19of this deal
00:54:20with my mother
00:54:21that you speak.
00:54:23Who do you make
00:54:23such a deal with?
00:54:25With my mistress,
00:54:27the goddess Thanara.
00:54:2828 souls a year.
00:54:32These souls,
00:54:32you're doing this
00:54:33just to keep
00:54:34your mom alive.
00:54:35No.
00:54:35You've been doing
00:54:36all of this work
00:54:38to keep your mother alive.
00:54:40Did you know this?
00:54:41We have been doing
00:54:42all this work
00:54:42to keep your mother alive.
00:54:43We are,
00:54:43I just started,
00:54:44I just started this week
00:54:45I'm a trainee.
00:54:46Do you know about this?
00:54:47I did not know of this.
00:54:49You didn't?
00:54:50No.
00:54:51So you thought
00:54:51you were just going out
00:54:52collecting 28 souls a year.
00:54:53Your mother told you
00:54:54this was to save Everdeep.
00:54:55Everdeep.
00:54:57Your mama's a liar.
00:54:57It's just to save her.
00:54:59Uh-huh.
00:55:00What a self-centered person.
00:55:02Well, I don't want
00:55:03to start talking,
00:55:03she's still her mother.
00:55:06Don't talk about
00:55:06my mother like that.
00:55:07Baby.
00:55:08Can you disguise yourself
00:55:09as a person who thinks
00:55:10before they speak?
00:55:11I'm disguising myself
00:55:13as an expert
00:55:13on self-centered people.
00:55:16She sounds like an alcoholic.
00:55:20Well, we can all agree
00:55:21there are some character flaws
00:55:23with Troy-Ann's mom.
00:55:24We can agree
00:55:25there's a few characters.
00:55:26She's a liar.
00:55:27I'm not trying
00:55:27to take her inventory
00:55:28or anything.
00:55:28We would all...
00:55:29I'll take her inventory
00:55:30for her.
00:55:33You see that Shalila
00:55:34looks at you and says,
00:55:36I would have thought,
00:55:38I'm sorry if this is news to you.
00:55:41Perhaps I am betraying
00:55:43some secret
00:55:43that I swore to my goddess,
00:55:45but she never mentioned me
00:55:47to keep it secret.
00:55:48I thought you would have known
00:55:49given what happened
00:55:50to your father.
00:55:51What happened to my father?
00:55:54Did you see him recently?
00:55:55You remember seeing him
00:55:57in the river
00:55:57and saying they lied to you.
00:55:58And you see she says,
00:56:00well,
00:56:01who do you think
00:56:02had this job before you?
00:56:05And who do you think
00:56:06paid the price
00:56:10when he discovered?
00:56:12Wait, did our father
00:56:13have the job before her?
00:56:14I think so.
00:56:14And then because he didn't do it
00:56:15while they killed him.
00:56:16Yes.
00:56:17Because he was short
00:56:17probably one time.
00:56:18He probably had 27 souls
00:56:20one year.
00:56:21Wait, so we think that
00:56:22maybe your dad
00:56:23used to do this
00:56:24because he was short
00:56:25one time.
00:56:26This happened to him.
00:56:27But he said
00:56:27they lied to you.
00:56:29And also my father
00:56:29could not swim.
00:56:31Who's they?
00:56:32He can't swim at all?
00:56:33He was an elf.
00:56:33Your mom can't walk,
00:56:34so where'd they meet?
00:56:35On the sand.
00:56:37At the shore.
00:56:38They met at the beach.
00:56:39He was fishing.
00:56:41Got it, got it, got it.
00:56:42Oh my gosh.
00:56:44So, my father was killed
00:56:46for not having enough souls
00:56:49for you and the mistress.
00:56:53I believe it was
00:56:54a little more complicated
00:56:55than that.
00:56:56Wait, don't I have
00:56:57like a mind reading spell
00:56:58or something?
00:56:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:56:59Can I get in this lady's head
00:57:00because she's being very cagey.
00:57:01She is being very cagey.
00:57:03If you want to cast
00:57:04Detect Thoughts,
00:57:04you cast this spell.
00:57:06You see Shalila.
00:57:08She is caught off guard
00:57:09in this moment
00:57:10because she feels like
00:57:10she's maybe spilled the beans
00:57:11on something that she
00:57:12wasn't supposed to know
00:57:13or wasn't supposed to tell you
00:57:14or assume that you knew.
00:57:16You see in Shalila's head
00:57:17this idea that the deal
00:57:19was obvious
00:57:20to the entire family
00:57:21of Everdeep
00:57:22and that when her father
00:57:23had failed
00:57:24that like his death
00:57:25was understood
00:57:26to be a failure.
00:57:28However, you gain
00:57:29extra information
00:57:31not from Shalila
00:57:32but from these
00:57:33deathly knights
00:57:34that surround her
00:57:35that are so ancient
00:57:36that they actually
00:57:37witnessed
00:57:38what happened.
00:57:41A memory
00:57:42that all of them
00:57:42are reliving in this moment
00:57:43and you see
00:57:44Trojan's father,
00:57:47Roy of Karkin,
00:57:48an ancient forest,
00:57:49an elven archer
00:57:50and you see
00:57:52the memory
00:57:53that they have
00:57:54in this moment
00:57:55is of Roy
00:57:56standing
00:57:57on a platform
00:57:58floating in empty void
00:58:01looking up
00:58:03and you see
00:58:05for the first time
00:58:05in their memory
00:58:06a face
00:58:08of her.
00:58:12She is
00:58:1318 feet tall
00:58:15a giant
00:58:16long horns
00:58:18gray purple skin
00:58:20and gleaming bronze
00:58:22attire her
00:58:23a beautiful
00:58:25goddess of death
00:58:26long wings
00:58:28as of a bat
00:58:29or dragon
00:58:30spread from her back.
00:58:31She gazes down
00:58:32imperiously
00:58:33you see
00:58:34the sorrowful eyes
00:58:36of this beautiful
00:58:37elven man
00:58:38looking up.
00:58:42I'm sorry
00:58:43mistress of the underworld
00:58:46I did not know
00:58:49I thought
00:58:51I thought only
00:58:53that
00:58:54I was saving
00:58:55Everdeep
00:58:58these people.
00:58:58I did not know
00:59:01the deal
00:59:03that the queen
00:59:04of Everdeep
00:59:05had struck
00:59:05and now
00:59:06I feel
00:59:06I have doomed
00:59:07all these souls
00:59:08to your pit
00:59:10for a cause
00:59:11I no longer
00:59:12can say
00:59:13is true
00:59:14or just.
00:59:16And you see
00:59:18that
00:59:18the goddess
00:59:19Thanara
00:59:20looks and says
00:59:21what then
00:59:24would you do
00:59:24knowing
00:59:25what your actions
00:59:26have caused
00:59:27I would ask
00:59:31mistress
00:59:32that you let
00:59:32them free
00:59:33and what
00:59:35would you pay
00:59:36to right
00:59:39the wrongs
00:59:39I've done
00:59:40everything
00:59:42she says
00:59:44a worthy
00:59:46price
00:59:46she points
00:59:47a finger
00:59:48and you see
00:59:49he says
00:59:49but wait
00:59:50before I go
00:59:52can you tell
00:59:52my daughter
00:59:53and
00:59:53a spell
00:59:55Roy
00:59:57dies
00:59:59having given
01:00:00his soul
01:00:01to free
01:00:02the souls
01:00:02that he had
01:00:03brought here
01:00:03over long
01:00:04years of service
01:00:06you see
01:00:08that memory
01:00:09Gertrude
01:00:10and in this
01:00:11memory that you see
01:00:12even though you
01:00:13are reading
01:00:13the minds
01:00:14of these knights
01:00:15the magic
01:00:16shifts
01:00:16somehow
01:00:17in this memory
01:00:18you see
01:00:19the goddess
01:00:20of death

01:01:15her this
01:01:16Trojan
01:01:16how much
01:01:17will this upset
01:01:17her
01:01:20she already
01:01:20doesn't like
01:01:20her mom
01:01:21anyway
01:01:21and she
01:01:23thinks that her
01:01:23dad was killed
01:01:25but she didn't
01:01:25know that he
01:01:25nobly gave
01:01:26his own life
01:01:26to return
01:01:27all the souls
