00:00:00Boss ass bitch.
00:00:05Hello, one and all.
00:00:07Welcome back to another thrilling episode of Dimension 20, Dungeons and Drag Queens.
00:00:11I'm your humble dungeon master, Branly Mug, and with me, as always, are our questing queens.
00:00:15Say hi, questing queens.
00:00:17Hi, questing queens.
00:00:20Last we left...
00:00:23It's beautiful.
00:00:26Well, I shouldn't wonder that we're all exclaiming and making noise, because we are in the depths of the underworld right now.
00:00:34Last we left off, our four heroes, each for reasons of their own, some secret and some shared,
00:00:41had traveled down the gallows road after having met, before the adventure even began, in the city of Darktide,
00:00:46where you all came together and realized that it was safer to travel to the underworld together than separately.
00:00:51You went to the village of Greeley, where you began to see some strange conspirings.
00:00:57Villains were approaching the entrance of the underworld as well.
00:01:00Rumors of a merfolk, possibly your cousin Kina of Everdeep.
00:01:05We had the smell of cedar on the breeze.
00:01:08A strange smell not smelled since the massacre of the Fohammer family so long ago.
00:01:15Rumors of a witch hunter that had driven Gertrude from her lakeside home.
00:01:21And in a burst of mist, after you defeated a disguised undead, the face of Zarya X, the blood queen and architect of the downfall of Titania and the fairy realms.
00:01:34Many eyes gazed on the entrance to the underworld, and many feet tramped their way to that fabled realm.
00:01:43However, you swiftly ascended the mountainside, got to Gargrim, the guardian of the gate to the underworld, and descended into the lands beyond.
00:01:53You journeyed to the River of Sorrow.
00:01:56We summoned a dead whale.
00:01:57We quickly dispatched a small army of the undead that sought to make their way to the lands of the living once more.
00:02:05We also remember that we could have just walked across the...
00:02:09We don't talk about that.
00:02:10I turned into a puddle.
00:02:11Turned into a puddle.
00:02:12I did.
00:02:13That happened as well.
00:02:14We also met your uncle Kerwin.
00:02:16Yeah.
00:02:17The spirit of the long-lost Duke Kerwin Fohammer of the Fohammer family.
00:02:22Kerwin suggested, because you were one soul short, as Troian must deliver a certain amount of souls for what she believed was the cause of keeping Everdeep safe from dark forces at work within the deep sea.
00:02:34I had really thought.
00:02:35You really thought.
00:02:36And that is what you had been told by none other than your mother, the queen, Inira of Everdeep.
00:02:42Inira.
00:02:43You.
00:02:44No way.
00:02:46Inira, I just met her.
00:02:47You journeyed to the long shadow Bazaar outside of the Ark of Forgotten Things.
00:02:56Oh, God.
00:02:56Not the Bazaar.
00:02:57The Bazaar to meet Ny'erith, the jackal-headed demon.
00:03:01It got Bazaar, too.
00:03:04Well, successfully managed to steal his soul for a short time before some towering Janari demon snatched it once again out of your hand.
00:03:10And easy come, easy go.
00:03:14You ended up showing up a little bit short on your quota to the end of the empty glass, where Damia, your old vampire friend, agreed to sell you sort of a temporary soul that can fool some of the servants of the goddess of death, but probably not the goddess herself.
00:03:32The princess kindly offered up some of her own blood.
00:03:36You got your soul.
00:03:37Gertrude made a wonderful tea that sort of revivified everybody.
00:03:41And you talked to Shalila, the sort of half-masked servant of Thanara, goddess of death and the underworld.
00:03:50Shalila agreed to take the soul, but not before spilling the beans.
00:03:53It's that it seemed that Emira of Everdeep wasn't protecting her people.
00:04:00She was selling souls to live forever.
00:04:03And some quick spellcasting from Gertrude saw that your father had been in that role before you and paid a heavy price to free the souls that he had brought to the goddess of the underworld.
00:04:15The four of you, your uncle Kerwin, now face an endless waste, crimson storm clouds and red lightning in the far-off distance of the Tower of Tombs, the realm and lair of the goddess Thanara herself.
00:04:33Shalila and her entourage march out into the wasteland.
00:04:37And for your plan to work, you need to get there before they do, because that soul there is not a worthy one.
00:04:45That is the seventh soul in her amulet.
00:04:47What could await you in the Tower of Tombs?
00:04:50Miracles?
00:04:51The ability for things lost?
00:04:54Family and realms to come back once more?
00:04:59Answers about a long-lost father and secrets kept within a family?
00:05:03Or even answers concerning the gift of magic and immortality itself?
00:05:09All of this awaits as you delve finally to the very heart of the underworld.
00:05:15We return.
00:05:16That was a big old recap.
00:05:17I just, you know.
00:05:17I know, it was amazing.
00:05:18We...
00:05:19Yeah, you nailed it.
00:05:20It was great.
00:05:20Previously on...
00:05:23It's funny.
00:05:24So, all of you look out and see these sort of crimson storm clouds.
00:05:27You can see Shalila and her four guardians kind of moving towards a lonesome road that moves through the wasteland.
00:05:36The question I put before you now is, do you try to follow the same road Shalila is?
00:05:42Which is, of course, she's probably taking the fastest road to the Tower of Tombs, but she's not particularly in a hurry.
00:05:48So, the question remains how you want to try and beat her to the Tower.
00:05:54Well, we have lied to her.
00:05:56We've been lying a lot, my goodness.
00:05:57We did lie to her until we were going back upstairs.
00:06:00So, she's probably not expecting us.
00:06:02She doesn't seem angry or anything.
00:06:04She seems pretty chill.
00:06:05She doesn't seem suspicious of anything.
00:06:07But maybe we should just be walking right behind her.
00:06:10Who is Shalila?
00:06:12She's the one who told us about my dad.
00:06:14You remember when we said four and then you said a hundred?
00:06:16We were talking to her.
00:06:17Okay.
00:06:17Well, okay, okay.
00:06:19She is expecting an invitation to board game night momentarily.
00:06:23At our palatial mansion, where you can see 400 people.
00:06:27Yeah.
00:06:28Intimate.
00:06:31How do we get there faster than her?
00:06:33I mean, can we fly?
00:06:34It seems like she's not moving fast.
00:06:36We can go another route, just hoof it.
00:06:39Do we ever split up?
00:06:40Is that a thing?
00:06:41Is that dumb?
00:06:42No, I don't think we should split up.
00:06:43This is not a scary movie.
00:06:45We're not doing that.
00:06:46Yeah, we're staying together, babes.
00:06:48I mean, you'd be the one that survived until the end of the day.
00:06:51Yeah, which is why she's like, she's like, she's like, in your best, it's in you three's best interest.
00:06:56To stay together.
00:06:57And she's not wrong.
00:06:57Did you hear that?
00:06:58And she's not wrong.
00:07:00Princess has been coming through Hercules and shit, okay?
00:07:02Just breaking backs.
00:07:04And I think Twyla's escaped death all the time.
00:07:07And we are confused as to how.
00:07:09She probably can't die.
00:07:12You're immortal, too?
00:07:13Probably.
00:07:14You don't know?
00:07:15She's assuming at this point.
00:07:17Twyla doesn't know a thing.
00:07:19She's definitely lucky, I'll say that.
00:07:21Yeah.
00:07:21What if we beat up Shanita and we take...
00:07:24Who's Shanita?
00:07:25Oh, Shalila.
00:07:25That's her landlord.
00:07:26Oh, Shalila.
00:07:27She just wants us to go settle a debt for her.
00:07:29She goes, what if we leave here and beat up Shanita, and then come back here and play Dungeons & Dragons?
00:07:33What if we beat up Shalila and take her, like, her metal guys and use her, use them?
00:07:42Oh, like, okay.
00:07:43So, okay, so you're...
00:07:44How do we do that?
00:07:44Or befriend her.
00:07:46Why do we want to fight Shalila?
00:07:47Shalila has been...
00:07:48She helped us.
00:07:49She told us stuff.
00:07:50I know.
00:07:50She was kind of nice.
00:07:51But she told us stuff because she's kind of an idiot.
00:07:54I don't want to beat the shit out of Shanita.
00:07:56You don't want to have brought it up.
00:07:57Don't you think it slipped?
00:07:58I know.
00:07:58I'm floating ideas here, okay?
00:08:00We're spitballing.
00:08:01I think we can, like...
00:08:03I am an assassin.
00:08:04I'm very good at tracking people.
00:08:06Yeah.
00:08:06Are you a lip-sync assassin?
00:08:08I'm a lipstick assassin.
00:08:13I am really good at tracking people.
00:08:16I think we can just follow behind Shalila.
00:08:19Because if we get there before her, what are we going to do?
00:08:22Wait for her.
00:08:23No, there's that other soul.
00:08:25What's that other soul?
00:08:27Another worthy soul.
00:08:28Because you know that Kina...
00:08:29You feel like Kina stole your kill, essentially, right?
00:08:31Oh, we lost that.
00:08:33That worthy soul we had was the one that got taken back from the guards.
00:08:36Never mind.
00:08:37Yeah, so you know that there's another soul in town that's worthy, but that demon has it.
00:08:41And your cousin Kina, you believe, stole the soul that you were supposed to get, as we know.
00:08:46Famed producer Monk Ronson.
00:08:47Yeah, absolutely.
00:08:48Part of me feels like, okay, this is crazy.
00:08:51But the jackal guy.
00:08:52I mean, if this was a movie, he's such a great character.
00:08:54I would love to revisit him.
00:08:56I do.
00:08:56I would, too.
00:08:56I kind of want to go back and, like...
00:08:59So, hey.
00:09:01But we're the magic.
00:09:02Yeah, I kind of want to be like, I know how this looks.
00:09:09I'm scared, but I like it.
00:09:12I mean, I'm not mad at going back to him.
00:09:14But you have to talk to him now.
00:09:15So, this time, I think the answer is this time we just got to be real.
00:09:18We got to just give this man what he wants.
00:09:20We cannot trick him again.
00:09:21We got to just give him what he wants.
00:09:23What if he asks if we're lying?
00:09:25Do I say yes?
00:09:26He's going to want memories.
00:09:26He's going to want souls.
00:09:27We'll say we lied.
00:09:28We'll say we lied.
00:09:29We found out some new stuff.
00:09:30My friend here is an assassin.
00:09:32She's been doing this job.
00:09:33Also, are you going to...
00:09:33I'm going to sound like this the whole time.
00:09:35So, we're going to be like, so we found out a lot of stuff.
00:09:37We acted out of fear.
00:09:39We were afraid that her entire community, village, would be destroyed if we didn't get this one soul.
00:09:44Now we know it's not the truth.
00:09:45It's more like a city.
00:09:46We have over two million people.
00:09:48We're not in a village.
00:09:49It's a metropolis.
00:09:50Tell me if this is crazy.
00:09:51I apologize.
00:09:52I mean, it's not Atlantis, but go ahead.
00:09:54This is crazy.
00:09:56So, one of my...
00:09:57It's kind of like the suburbs of Atlantis.
00:09:59So, you know how one of my spells is to disguise, right?
00:10:02And it says, use magic to change your appearance.
00:10:04Is there a world where Twyla changes her appearance to look like the person, like Thanara, and to grab...
00:10:12Oh, no.
00:10:12Okay, we can't go so high.
00:10:13Yeah, why would Thanara be in town?
00:10:14They'd be like, what are you doing here?
00:10:15But Miss Thing is going to Thanara to give her the souls, right?
00:10:18My thing is...
00:10:19Shalila.
00:10:20Be Shalila.
00:10:20My thing is, what if we don't trick him?
00:10:23What if we just go in and we just give him something?
00:10:26We all have...
00:10:26Oh, I'm trying to trick Shalila.
00:10:28What if we...
00:10:29Because Shalila's bringing the souls back to Thanara, and I'm like, if she thinks that
00:10:33I'm Thanara, then she's like, here you go, Thanara.
00:10:35I'm like, thank you, sis.
00:10:36But when did she be like, why are you...
00:10:37Also, Thanara's massive, and she's huge.
00:10:39Like, 18 feet tall.
00:10:40She's 18 feet tall.
00:10:41She's in disguise.
00:10:42Go to Thanara dressed as Shanita.
00:10:42Baby, I can change myself into an airplane if I want to.
00:10:45That is true.
00:10:46I'm Twyla.
00:10:47No, but we don't have anything to give to Thanara.
00:10:49So I think, to your point, you describe yourself as Thanara.
00:10:52Right.
00:10:52And then she gives it to me.
00:10:53And Shalila gives it to you.
00:10:55But what are we getting from Shalila?
00:10:56Shalila doesn't have the worthy soul either.
00:10:58But why do we...
00:10:58She does not.
00:10:59No, we don't need that.
00:11:00Because Shalila doesn't have the worthy soul.
00:11:01Shalila has a bag full of souls and one unworthy one.
00:11:03Here's the question.
00:11:03Time out.
00:11:04If we know, why do I care to give her the worthy souls now?
00:11:07Because knowing what this is about now.
00:11:09Knowing what this is about now, you may well have decided that you don't want to hand those souls over.
00:11:14But the question is, given all the stuff that you do want from Thanara, you don't know how reasonable this goddess is.
00:11:22So I think there are questions for you about what your reception.
00:11:26It's very like, what's the wizard going to think when we get to the Emerald City?
00:11:30Right?
00:11:30What's Thanara going to think of us when we actually get to the Tower of Tombs?
00:11:33So it's true that you no longer care to uphold the deal your mother struck.
00:11:38But you do know that the goddess of the underworld is expecting seven souls.
00:11:42You could reasonably decide, I'm not interested in pursuing that deal.
00:11:45Or you could reasonably decide it might be worth it anyway.
00:11:47It also seems to know that if she doesn't get the seven souls, she probably won't be cool about it.
00:11:51And also, I think that I have never met Thanara.
00:11:53So I think what we're trying to do is, okay, okay, let's get it.
00:11:56Disguise, Thanara.
00:11:57Shalila gives it to us.
00:11:59And then you...
00:11:59I know what she looks like.
00:12:00I can describe her.
00:12:01Because I saw her in the memory.
00:12:02So I can describe her.
00:12:03I can describe it.
00:12:04And then Shalila, so that way we all have a chance to talk to Thanara and be like,
00:12:08here are the things you want.
00:12:09We're all here.
00:12:10Can you answer our four wishes, basically?
00:12:12Well, okay.
00:12:12So I want to reassess what we're all doing here.
00:12:17Because I have not been completely honest with all of you about why I'm in the underworld.
00:12:23Is this out loud or is this through the grave?
00:12:24This is to you.
00:12:25I'm talking to you all out loud.
00:12:26Okay, great.
00:12:27You're all in a safe place.
00:12:29You're towards the edge of hollow grave in a safe place.
00:12:32Okay.
00:12:33You know, there is a curse on me where I can't die.
00:12:37But it's not fear.
00:12:38It's not immortality.
00:12:39It's not like, girl...
00:12:40It's not invincibility.
00:12:42It's just immortality.
00:12:43So it's kind of a curse, right?
00:12:46So when I came down here, I was hoping to just come down here and not leave, have my soul taken.
00:12:50Now I want to live my life.
00:12:51I've just got a new perspective.
00:12:53So I want to live my life.
00:12:55And I want to have a natural death like everyone else has granted.
00:12:58But it doesn't have to be here and now anymore.
00:13:01So my perspective has changed as to why I'm down here.
00:13:04So I do want to go down to Thanara.
00:13:07I do not know if this woman is reasonable at all.
00:13:10But I do want to go and, like, just kind of plead my case.
00:13:13She seems to be able to bargain.
00:13:15I watched her bargain.
00:13:16Like, she offered your father a chance to give his soul.
00:13:21She didn't take it.
00:13:22He gave it.
00:13:23Yeah.
00:13:24So she's not beyond reason.
00:13:26You know what I mean?
00:13:27I don't know if you're going to atone in the way that your father atoned or what you...
00:13:31Because you've been doing this for a while.
00:13:32I don't know.
00:13:33How do you feel about your journey here now?
00:13:35You know, I think that Thanara has...
00:13:38There is a lot of...
00:13:39I think she can grant me grace knowing why I have been doing this.
00:13:42And like you said, she seems reasonable.
00:13:44And I think talking to her and meeting her face to face, she will be able to remedy a lot of what...
00:13:49She acts quick.
00:13:50Like, once your dad was like, I'll give my soul...
00:13:53She didn't even hear his next words.
00:13:55Boom.
00:13:55Take it.
00:13:56Eat it.
00:13:56Done.
00:13:56He just obliterated.
00:13:58It was kind of bananas.
00:13:59And Thanara probably, with all her soul power, she has the power to restore both of your family and your...
00:14:04And I think that's why Twyla's going down there.
00:14:06Because she...
00:14:07The only being that could restore the dead to life is her.
00:14:13But before you bring the dead back to life, I just want to say, life is a gift.
00:14:17But it's not everything.
00:14:19You know what I mean?
00:14:19So like, if you restore them back, like, to what end?
00:14:22Like, do they have unfinished business?
00:14:24Maybe they're at peace.
00:14:25Maybe there's some shots that need people to work in.
00:14:28Are you bringing them...
00:14:29They were taken away before their time.
00:14:31Yeah.
00:14:32And is there any chance that you're bringing them back without...
00:14:34Consult...
00:14:34I mean, because you're...
00:14:36Like, does your...
00:14:36We should ask your uncle, does he want to be brought back?
00:14:38We'll do a show of hands from the soul.
00:14:40Or a show of bones.
00:14:42Yeah.
00:14:42Kermin looks and says, I will.
00:14:44If you remember, when you met me, I was desperately trying to swim across the River of Sorrow.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:48It seems pretty common.
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:49They all want to swim out.
00:14:51Yeah.
00:14:51It's pretty common.
00:14:51Yeah.
00:14:52Touche.
00:14:52And you see, Kermin looks and says, listen, in some...
00:14:56Is there some world where there would be rest or peace after life?
00:15:00I would more than happily consider it.
00:15:03I don't know if you've taken a look around.
00:15:04And you see, look at this howling purple wasteland.
00:15:06Yeah.
00:15:07He's like, it's...
00:15:08I would describe the conditions of the afterlife as suboptimal.
00:15:13Yeah.
00:15:13It's no Everdeep.
00:15:14This is apparently the New York City of the ocean.
00:15:17Yes, it is.
00:15:19Greatest city in the underworld.
00:15:22Okay, so, are we all on one accord?
00:15:28Swyla, can you describe to Swyla so she can transform or do we want to go see Thanos?
00:15:33Ny'ereth.
00:15:34Ny'ereth.
00:15:34Okay, oddly enough, Ny'ereth scares me a little more than our...
00:15:38Who is that?
00:15:39The Jekyll-headed guy.
00:15:40Jekyll-face.
00:15:41Yes.
00:15:42I'm so sorry.
00:15:44I'm just...
00:15:45Listen, I know there are people watching right now and they're like, what are these names?
00:15:49They're like, Jujubees there.
00:15:50Well, the audience has the benefit.
00:15:51They're going to see big art come up on screen every time.
00:15:55So we don't have the benefit of that, but...
00:15:57Okay.
00:15:58So how do we get there is the question.
00:16:01Should we just trail behind...
00:16:02Yeah, when I said we can, we can, like, trail behind...
00:16:05Conceal ourselves with a spell and trail behind her.
00:16:09We don't have to trail behind her because we're going to walk right up to her and saying,
00:16:11Hey, it's me, I was going out for...
00:16:14We need to cut her off, girl.
00:16:15I was stepping out.
00:16:16We need to cut her off so she thinks...
00:16:18We need to get to the castle before her.
00:16:20Do we have a reason why we're not on the throne?
00:16:23Yeah, that's a little fishy.
00:16:25You're like, what is she doing here?
00:16:26She...
00:16:27If Joe Biden knocked on your door, wouldn't you be like...
00:16:29If it was Joe Biden, no.
00:16:33I'd be like, I'd be like, wrong door, honey.
00:16:35What are you doing here?
00:16:36I kind of expected you in the Oval Office, not...
00:16:39He's like, oh, I was just delivering some ex-classified documents.
00:16:41Yeah, it seems...
00:16:43It seems...
00:16:44Y'all don't really think Thanara would leave the throne just to go for a walk.
00:16:47I don't know her.
00:16:48No.
00:16:49Maybe she's been locked up for seven days.
00:16:51She's getting over a cold and she's getting 30 minutes a day to walk around.
00:16:55There's a small chance we could ask the...
00:16:57Okay, we could ask the Jekyll-headed guy for help.
00:17:02He's very powerful.
00:17:02And what's his name?
00:17:04Nairith.
00:17:05Nairith.
00:17:05I don't know if Nairith travels well.
00:17:08He's old.
00:17:09He was pretty slow in touch with him.
00:17:10Why would we bring him with us?
00:17:11Because he's powerful.
00:17:12And he probably knows...
00:17:13He seems to barter with...
00:17:15He's very good at bargaining.
00:17:17He might say no.
00:17:18He has a business to run.
00:17:20So y'all want to go with his...
00:17:21Or maybe we could ask him if he can give us something.
00:17:23I think we're all going to die.
00:17:24Maybe he has something that can help us.
00:17:26We're going to appeal to his sensibility.
00:17:28And we're going to apologize.
00:17:29We're going to atone.
00:17:30Okay.
00:17:30So our options are pretend to be Thanara or go back to Nairith.
00:17:35Which one seems...
00:17:36They're both very...
00:17:37I think...
00:17:37They're crazy.
00:17:38They're both very dangerous.
00:17:40We could definitely take Shalila.
00:17:42I don't know that we can convince her.
00:17:43I don't know if we can definitely...
00:17:44I don't know that we can convince her that like,
00:17:46oh yeah, I'm just out for a walk.
00:17:48Yeah, that does seem a little hard to do.
00:17:50Well, Twyla could start a rumor.
00:17:53About what?
00:17:54I don't know.
00:17:54Get people to fight.
00:17:55Then we can go take some souls.
00:17:57Well, souls...
00:17:58There are only souls up there, though.
00:17:59Oh, we're still downstairs.
00:18:01You see, Kerwin looks and says,
00:18:03it's true that all of the plans that you're talking about
00:18:06seem very dangerous and reckless.
00:18:08But it's possible that down here,
00:18:10there are no plans that won't involve some level of risk.
00:18:14Yeah, we gotta risk.
00:18:15Okay, I think this is...
00:18:17Let's have a vote.
00:18:18My final thought is this.
00:18:19We've dabbled in a lot of dishonesty.
00:18:22And it might be time to get honest
00:18:24and go talk to this jackal-headed guy.
00:18:28Okay.
00:18:29And then run to...
00:18:31We're wasting time.
00:18:31He's all the way on the other side.
00:18:33We are losing.
00:18:34We are losing time.
00:18:35Again, Shalila's not in a rush.
00:18:36She's leisurely pacing.
00:18:37If you look over, you can see that the bazaar
00:18:40is not far from here.
00:18:41If you want...
00:18:41If the goal is to be honest, then...
00:18:45All right.
00:18:46I vote yes, bazaar.
00:18:47I vote bazaar, too.
00:18:48I'm gonna vote against myself.
00:18:50I vote bazaar, too.
00:18:51Okay.
00:18:51I'm gonna go talk to...
00:18:52I think that's a good idea.
00:18:53Okay.
00:18:54Incredible.
00:18:55So you go to the long shadow of bazaar.
00:18:57You see, there it is.
00:18:58The small shop with the golden embossment
00:19:00on the glass window pane of the door.
00:19:03Nyirith's Curios.
00:19:04And do you all walk in?
00:19:06She goes first.
00:19:07Well, I...
00:19:07Okay, so I slowly open the door.
00:19:10So you see, sitting on a tall stool,
00:19:14looking on a tall stool
00:19:15with one of those big, like,
00:19:16crane arm magnifying glasses,
00:19:18looking at, like, a tiny little clock
00:19:20that he's fixing,
00:19:21this jackal-headed dude looks up.
00:19:23Welcome to Nyirith.
00:19:25Unreal.
00:19:27Before you do...
00:19:28Don't...
00:19:29Before you do anything,
00:19:31I'm gonna level with you.
00:19:32This time, I am being fully honest.
00:19:34And she decides to, um...
00:19:36Can I...
00:19:37Can I let him hear my thoughts?
00:19:39Can I do honesty on myself?
00:19:41Do you want to, like, cast detect thoughts
00:19:43to broadcast your thoughts?
00:19:45Yes.
00:19:45So he knows I'm not lying.
00:19:47Incredible.
00:19:48So he knows I'm not lying.
00:19:49So I cast detect on myself
00:19:53and give it so he can hear what I'm thinking.
00:19:56So he knows I'm not lying.
00:19:57And I go, now, listen,
00:19:58you know I got this.
00:20:01All my cards are on the table.
00:20:03So can I just let my friends come in here?
00:20:05Okay, so this is incredible.
00:20:07I'm gonna say,
00:20:08with this degree of openness,
00:20:11I'm gonna allow you to roll a persuasion check,
00:20:13and you can roll it with advantage
00:20:15because there is no way for him
00:20:16to not know that you're being honest.
00:20:18So we're gonna roll persuasion with advantage.
00:20:19I'll say, if you are able to get a 15,
00:20:23he will hear you out.
00:20:25If you were able to get a 25,
00:20:27that will be like he's blown away.
00:20:29My persuasion is an 8.
00:20:30An 8.
00:20:32That's a 13.
00:20:3313 plus 8 is 21.
00:20:3521.
00:20:35Okay, roll again.
00:20:36If you hit a 17 or higher,
00:20:38so that's already a success.
00:20:40Let's see what your second roll is.
00:20:4220!
00:20:43Oh, yeah, 20!
00:20:45Oh, my God!
00:20:47Yes, baby!
00:20:47Yes!
00:20:48What a roll to do it on.
00:20:53Okay, this is gonna be good for us.
00:20:55This is gonna be good.
00:20:56Oh, my God!
00:20:58So this unbelievable bit of magic,
00:21:01this is also, I feel like,
00:21:03for Gertrude,
00:21:03who spent her entire life
00:21:04as a hermit,
00:21:06concealed,
00:21:07hidden away,
00:21:08not trusting the world,
00:21:09you completely open your mind.
00:21:12Vulnerable.
00:21:12Vulnerable.
00:21:13Oh, Gertie.
00:21:14I'm getting vulnerable.
00:21:15I'm getting vulnerable.
00:21:16To a demon.
00:21:18You see, he looks up,
00:21:20and all of you that are, like,
00:21:20in the doorway as well,
00:21:21look up and just see a man who,
00:21:23let's be clear,
00:21:24you robbed three hours ago.
00:21:30Look up and go,
00:21:32and I go,
00:21:34okay, listen,
00:21:34listen, I know,
00:21:35I know how this looks,
00:21:37but I'm gonna cast this spell
00:21:39on myself
00:21:40so that you know
00:21:40that I'm telling the truth.
00:21:41You can hear my thoughts.
00:21:42Can I let my friends come in
00:21:44so we can atone?
00:21:47By all means,
00:21:48see them into us.
00:21:50So Gertie just kind of like
00:21:52does her antlers like this,
00:21:54her horns to get them to come in,
00:21:57and she goes,
00:21:58first of all,
00:21:58we really want to apologize.
00:22:00We came down here
00:22:01and we were desperate.
00:22:02This is my friend,
00:22:03Troianne.
00:22:05Do you know Everdeep?
00:22:07Everdeep, incredible.
00:22:09Seafood, unbelievable.
00:22:10Yes, really, really,
00:22:11really, really good,
00:22:11really good.
00:22:12Now, you eat seafood too,
00:22:13don't you?
00:22:13I do.
00:22:14I just,
00:22:15I had some scallops there
00:22:16that were the best I've ever had.
00:22:18Truly just like air
00:22:19cutting through with a knife.
00:22:20It was really, really tender.
00:22:21The thing is,
00:22:22we really thought
00:22:23that her entire city
00:22:25was gonna be taken down
00:22:28by Thanara
00:22:29if we did not get
00:22:31this worthy soul from you.
00:22:32So we lied,
00:22:34we cheated,
00:22:34we stole,
00:22:36we did all steal from you.
00:22:37And we,
00:22:39and I,
00:22:39and it was my idea.
00:22:41It was my idea
00:22:44and I regret it
00:22:46very, very much.
00:22:47And I'm really just here
00:22:48to appeal to your sensibility
00:22:49to see if there's any way
00:22:51we can get that soul.
00:22:52I will,
00:22:53I don't want to trade
00:22:53her playing cards.
00:22:54I'm willing to trade
00:22:55something that I have
00:22:56to atone for what I've done.
00:22:58I'm willing to do
00:22:58what it takes
00:22:59to get that soul from you.
00:23:00And any help
00:23:01you can offer us.
00:23:02Is that all we need
00:23:03is a soul?
00:23:04Don't we want something else?
00:23:05And anything you can,
00:23:07so we're going to,
00:23:08Thanara to,
00:23:09basically we're going
00:23:10to meet the wizard.
00:23:10You know what I mean?
00:23:11She has some atoning to do.
00:23:13Well,
00:23:13not atoning.
00:23:14I want to find out
00:23:15what will happen
00:23:15with my father.
00:23:17And so we need to cut off
00:23:18Shalila,
00:23:18who has the unworthy soul
00:23:19so we can have
00:23:20a full seven set.
00:23:22So,
00:23:23the original soul
00:23:25that you were interested in,
00:23:26which after killing
00:23:28several of the demon
00:23:30enforcers in town,
00:23:31I have recovered.
00:23:32You killed them,
00:23:32oh God.
00:23:33But the soul
00:23:34is one matter
00:23:35and you need
00:23:37a means
00:23:38of outpacing Shalila,
00:23:40who has already left.
00:23:41Yes.
00:23:41Yes.
00:23:42It is quite
00:23:43a special feat
00:23:44of witchcraft
00:23:46to so bravely
00:23:49allow
00:23:50the demon
00:23:51of the underworld
00:23:52to see
00:23:53what most keep hidden.
00:23:59You see
00:24:00Ny'erith
00:24:01on that nat 20.
00:24:02I wrote a nat 20.
00:24:03Keep that in mind.
00:24:03Steps down,
00:24:05holds out a hand
00:24:06for your hand
00:24:07and gets down
00:24:08on one knee.
00:24:14Few and far between
00:24:16are those sorceresses
00:24:17who wield the gifts
00:24:20of both worlds,
00:24:22Kelvorda
00:24:23and this realm
00:24:24of the underworld.
00:24:25I will offer
00:24:26a bargain.
00:24:28It will be
00:24:28my first offer
00:24:29and also my last.
00:24:31You have
00:24:32paid me
00:24:32a grave
00:24:33insult
00:24:34earlier today
00:24:35and paid me
00:24:36a great honor
00:24:37now.
00:24:38So one
00:24:38and one offer
00:24:39only shall I make.
00:24:41It is yours
00:24:42to decline
00:24:43or accept.
00:24:45Should you decline,
00:24:46you will always
00:24:47be welcome
00:24:48in my shop
00:24:49but we will
00:24:49make no bargain.
00:24:50Do you understand?
00:24:52Just come and look.
00:24:53We can't do anything.
00:24:54Got it.
00:24:54Browse.
00:24:54Yeah,
00:24:54we have events here
00:24:55sometimes,
00:24:56signings.
00:24:57Meet and greets.
00:24:58Open mic night.
00:24:59Open mic night.
00:25:00Yeah,
00:25:00absolutely.
00:25:01I actually do,
00:25:02if you know anyone
00:25:03that's looking for stand-up,
00:25:04I do,
00:25:04I'm working on an act myself
00:25:06to sort of observational humor
00:25:08about the underworld.
00:25:09I mean,
00:25:10there's some stuff
00:25:11to observe here.
00:25:12Yeah,
00:25:12I tried a more
00:25:12storytelling style
00:25:13but I feel like
00:25:14audiences didn't connect.
00:25:15They sort of want
00:25:16the one-liners.
00:25:16The point being,
00:25:21you see he says,
00:25:22Nyrith looks at all of you.
00:25:24Again,
00:25:25incredibly touched
00:25:27by this act
00:25:28of magical vulnerability.
00:25:31I have beheld
00:25:32in Gertrude's memories
00:25:33one object
00:25:34that you do carry
00:25:35that you were right
00:25:37in assuming
00:25:38is a worthy bargain.
00:25:40The soul
00:25:41of famed musical producer
00:25:43Oliver Lieber,
00:25:45again,
00:25:46who composed
00:25:46Opposites Attract
00:25:47by Paula Abdul.
00:25:48Yes.
00:25:49Great, great song.
00:25:50Incredible song.
00:25:51I actually have a tattoo
00:25:52of MC Scat Cat
00:25:53on my body.
00:25:54Obsessed.
00:25:54Do you want to know
00:25:55where it is?
00:25:55Where?
00:25:56I'm going to guess.
00:25:57Guess.
00:25:58Your big toe.
00:26:00Oh,
00:26:00pretty close.
00:26:02Your little toe.
00:26:03Bingo.
00:26:06You see,
00:26:10he goes,
00:26:11I believe you hold
00:26:12a corrupted wraith clasp.
00:26:15A fair bargain.
00:26:16And you may make that
00:26:17by its own
00:26:18if you wish.
00:26:20I will trade you
00:26:21the soul
00:26:21for the clasp.
00:26:25He takes the soul
00:26:26right out
00:26:27and offers it to you.
00:26:28Splendid.
00:26:29You see,
00:26:29he exchanges them
00:26:31and goes,
00:26:33and for a means
00:26:33to outpace
00:26:35Shalila
00:26:35of the half-mask
00:26:37across the dangerous
00:26:39sands
00:26:39of the underworld,
00:26:41I have in my possession
00:26:42an object
00:26:44of some magical significance.
00:26:45You see,
00:26:46he holds
00:26:46a sort of
00:26:47little furry hand
00:26:48aloft.
00:26:48And you see
00:26:49in the corner
00:26:49there are a number
00:26:50of tall carpets
00:26:52that have been
00:26:53rolled up into rolls
00:26:54and are sort of
00:26:54in a bin together.
00:26:56He snaps a hand
00:26:57in one carpet.
00:26:59And it is massive.
00:27:00It's not like
00:27:01a throw.
00:27:02Yeah,
00:27:02it's not a small one.
00:27:03It's like,
00:27:04this thing is...
00:27:04Area rug.
00:27:05Yes,
00:27:05it's an area rug.
00:27:06It's a full,
00:27:07like,
00:27:07you could...
00:27:0715 by 16.
00:27:09Oh,
00:27:0915 by 16,
00:27:10exactly.
00:27:11You could,
00:27:11like,
00:27:11set a table
00:27:12and have a dinner
00:27:12on this thing.
00:27:13You see,
00:27:13it unravels
00:27:15and it fills
00:27:16the room
00:27:16with dust
00:27:18that smells
00:27:18like,
00:27:19like,
00:27:20sort of rich
00:27:21spices
00:27:21and something
00:27:23sort of floral
00:27:24but ancient too.
00:27:25Herbal sort of smell
00:27:26fills the room.
00:27:27As you see,
00:27:28incredible geometric
00:27:29patterns
00:27:30sort of fractaling
00:27:31out from the center
00:27:32point of a sort
00:27:33of deep
00:27:34eye.
00:27:35in the center
00:27:36of the carpet
00:27:36says,
00:27:39this should be able
00:27:40to bear you aloft
00:27:41over the sands
00:27:42quite quickly
00:27:43and I would be willing
00:27:44to part with it
00:27:45for there is something
00:27:46else you have
00:27:48of deep magical
00:27:48significance.
00:27:50Knowing already
00:27:51how deeply
00:27:52you value
00:27:53your memories.
00:27:54Great cards.
00:27:56Again,
00:27:56I gotta be clear,
00:27:57not gonna give anything
00:27:58magic for a deck of cards.
00:28:00I'd hold myself
00:28:02to something
00:28:02of a higher standard.
00:28:03I'm trying.
00:28:05They're rare cards.
00:28:07The important thing
00:28:08is this.
00:28:09There is something
00:28:09you possess
00:28:10and it is something
00:28:12that I think
00:28:12you deeply want
00:28:13to be rid of
00:28:15but
00:28:16it is quite
00:28:17valuable to me.
00:28:20You have a curse
00:28:21on you.
00:28:22Oh my gosh.
00:28:25I do.
00:28:26You go through a drawer
00:28:28and you see
00:28:28he takes
00:28:29an empty vial
00:28:30of a deep green
00:28:32bottle glass
00:28:33that you see
00:28:34has a signal
00:28:35on the bottom of it.
00:28:36There's like
00:28:36a rune inscribed.
00:28:38Now,
00:28:39that curse
00:28:40was not put on you
00:28:41by me
00:28:41and I
00:28:42do not have
00:28:43the strength
00:28:44to remove it.
00:28:45but if removed
00:28:48should you carry
00:28:49this bottle
00:28:50on your person
00:28:51if that curse
00:28:53were to be lifted
00:28:54the bottle
00:28:56would
00:28:57suck it up
00:28:59and return
00:29:00once more
00:29:01to me.
00:29:02The carpet
00:29:03is yours
00:29:04if you agree
00:29:05to carry
00:29:06this bottle.
00:29:07And we can keep
00:29:07the carpet?
00:29:08The carpet
00:29:09is yours forever.
00:29:10Out of good faith
00:29:11he's gonna trust
00:29:12that you're gonna do this
00:29:13I'm just kidding
00:29:13I don't even want
00:29:14this thing.
00:29:15He looks and says
00:29:16you have shown
00:29:19incredible courage
00:29:21in revealing
00:29:21your inner heart
00:29:22to me.
00:29:23Most would not
00:29:23do such a thing
00:29:24to a demon
00:29:25and though I am not
00:29:26the most benevolent
00:29:28actor
00:29:29I am
00:29:30an honest
00:29:31businessman.
00:29:32So
00:29:33the carpet
00:29:34is yours
00:29:34if you simply
00:29:35agree to
00:29:36carry the bottle
00:29:38on your person
00:29:39always.
00:29:40If you never
00:29:41managed to have
00:29:41your curse lifted
00:29:42then you have
00:29:44the minor inconvenience
00:29:45of needing
00:29:45to always travel
00:29:46with a small
00:29:47green bottle
00:29:47but if the curse
00:29:49is lifted
00:29:49it enters
00:29:51the vial there
00:29:52and returns
00:29:53to me
00:29:53and the curse
00:29:54becomes mine
00:29:55to do with
00:29:56as I wish.
00:29:57Oh.
00:29:58So Gertrude
00:30:00kind of like
00:30:00looks around
00:30:01everyone's looking
00:30:02at Gertrude
00:30:02every
00:30:03even the carpet.
00:30:05The carpet's got
00:30:05a big eye on it
00:30:06you see the eye
00:30:06blinks.
00:30:07So Gertrude
00:30:08slowly takes off
00:30:10her backpack
00:30:10and she lifts it
00:30:12open and she
00:30:12just holds it
00:30:13out to the demon
00:30:14to place the
00:30:15vial in and goes
00:30:15my word is my
00:30:17bond.
00:30:18Pleasure doing
00:30:19business.
00:30:20And pops the
00:30:21vial in
00:30:22and you see
00:30:22the carpet
00:30:23slinks towards
00:30:25the door
00:30:25and awaits
00:30:27outside.
00:30:29What?
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:30Carpet rock.
00:30:33You're amazing
00:30:33thank you so much
00:30:34we gotta run.

00:30:38at Nyreth's Curios
00:30:39please don't rob me
00:30:39again.
00:30:40I promise
00:30:41we go out
00:30:42and we're outside
00:30:43we're like we're
00:30:44freaking out
00:30:44this is amazing
00:30:45that really worked
00:30:46out for us.
00:30:47Honestly
00:30:47we gotta be honest.
00:30:49Yeah you know
00:30:49we should have been
00:30:50honest in the beginning
00:30:51we should have.
00:30:52But was
00:30:52but
00:30:53but what?
00:30:55Do we trust the demon?
00:30:56Well I listen
00:30:57I don't know
00:30:57what it's gonna do
00:30:57with this
00:30:58I mean he might
00:30:59take the curse
00:30:59and just put it
00:31:00right back on me
00:31:00and be like ha ha ha.
00:31:01You know that it's
00:31:02just your curse
00:31:03it's like nothing else
00:31:03that goes in there.
00:31:04Which is your curse
00:31:05of immortality right?
00:31:06Yes.
00:31:06And you don't want it
00:31:07anyway so
00:31:08you should just
00:31:09open the bottle
00:31:09and oh no
00:31:10I can't remove it
00:31:11myself so
00:31:12we know
00:31:12who's gonna do that.
00:31:13Danara.
00:31:14How do we
00:31:15I don't know
00:31:16I don't know
00:31:16all we know
00:31:16is we're gonna
00:31:17try to get her
00:31:17to lift it
00:31:18she'll think
00:31:18she's doing
00:31:19something fierce
00:31:19maybe we don't
00:31:20know what she's
00:31:20planning
00:31:20once she lifts it
00:31:21it's gonna just
00:31:22zap back to the
00:31:22bazaar
00:31:23and what he does
00:31:24with it is
00:31:24his business
00:31:25she might be mad.
00:31:27So I think
00:31:27now that we have
00:31:28the magic carpet
00:31:28we know we can
00:31:29beat Shalila there
00:31:31I think we should
00:31:32give him the carpet
00:31:32and okay what's that
00:31:33plan?
00:31:34Are we kind of
00:31:34we need to get
00:31:35the other souls
00:31:36from Shalila though?
00:31:37Yeah are we going
00:31:37to Thanara or Shalila?
00:31:38You're not delivering
00:31:39souls anymore
00:31:39we're just
00:31:40you are here to like
00:31:41figure out what's
00:31:42going on
00:31:42but we do have
00:31:44the extra souls
00:31:45we might need to
00:31:47we need to bring
00:31:48the souls
00:31:49because we need
00:31:49Thanara to help us
00:31:51yeah
00:31:51so now we need to
00:31:53get to Shalila
00:31:53and fight her
00:31:54and these four guards
00:31:55and get that bag of souls
00:31:56there's five of them
00:31:57four of us
00:31:58we are rested
00:31:59yeah
00:31:59all you gotta do
00:32:00look at me like that
00:32:01we are all
00:32:02well rested
00:32:04in hindsight
00:32:05we should have asked
00:32:06we should have asked
00:32:07Nyman to give us
00:32:07some type of advantage
00:32:08I think the advantage
00:32:09was speed
00:32:10I think he gave us
00:32:11what he had gave
00:32:12so and
00:32:13Kerwin looks over
00:32:14and says
00:32:15I forgot you're here
00:32:16Kerwin
00:32:16I tried
00:32:17I tried to let you
00:32:18I tried to let you
00:32:19all do your thing
00:32:20you know
00:32:20I don't want
00:32:21girls night
00:32:22I'm along for the ride
00:32:23I'm just honestly
00:32:24happy to be here
00:32:25you see he goes
00:32:26depending on what
00:32:27you wish to do
00:32:28we could either
00:32:28beat Shalila
00:32:29to the Tower of Tombs
00:32:31or intercept her
00:32:32on the road there
00:32:33and if you wanted
00:32:34to try to swap
00:32:35the soul out
00:32:36the worthy one you have
00:32:37you could do that as well
00:32:38it's up to you
00:32:39I mean you have
00:32:39the advantage
00:32:40either way
00:32:40I think
00:32:40I gave you the wrong
00:32:42can I say that bag again
00:32:44I put my car keys in there
00:32:47okay the honesty
00:32:47the honesty thing is
00:32:49that Shalila's not gonna
00:32:50give this bag of souls
00:32:51up because that is her job
00:32:52we're gonna have to fight
00:32:53Shalila
00:32:53so what do we have
00:32:55what do we have to fight
00:32:56I have
00:32:56I have a fireball
00:32:58I have a counter spell
00:32:58I have a scorching ray
00:32:59I have a thunder wave
00:33:01that can hit a lot of
00:33:01people at once
00:33:02if we fight Shalila though
00:33:05and we have to get
00:33:06physical when we get
00:33:07to Fennar for whatever
00:33:08reason we will be
00:33:09we will be not rested
00:33:11we will not be well
00:33:12we got a sneak attack
00:33:13but if we fight them
00:33:14we will be tight
00:33:15we will have no place
00:33:17to rest
00:33:17is it just her
00:33:18that we're fighting
00:33:18and say
00:33:20you know
00:33:20you know
00:33:21join us
00:33:22is she friendly like that
00:33:24you know her better than we do
00:33:25it would be you
00:33:26to communicate with her
00:33:27she was pretty nice
00:33:28with us before
00:33:29she was not mean
00:33:30so are we gonna reveal
00:33:32to her that we
00:33:32okay
00:33:33too much on
00:33:33Kermit says
00:33:35I know you're gonna
00:33:35hate me for saying this
00:33:36but I am gonna say it
00:33:37you could
00:33:38there is a way
00:33:39you could butter her up
00:33:40and you just really
00:33:41have to invite her
00:33:42to that board game night
00:33:42yeah
00:33:43you know
00:33:44we can butter the board
00:33:45to the board game night
00:33:46I totally
00:33:46we may have
00:33:46overestimated
00:33:47maybe not 400
00:33:48but we can do
00:33:49at least one
00:33:49we can just tell her
00:33:51that we already
00:33:52had 395
00:33:53well she's gonna get there
00:33:54if we switch to Scrabble
00:33:56yeah
00:33:57we can change the plans
00:33:58yeah
00:33:58I don't think she's
00:33:59really set on the game
00:34:00I think she just wants
00:34:00the companionship
00:34:01be included
00:34:01what
00:34:02I think she wants
00:34:02the camaraderie
00:34:03what if she's like
00:34:04well I don't know
00:34:05how to spell
00:34:05I never went to
00:34:06we have a lot
00:34:07we have a lot of games
00:34:08okay
00:34:08yeah
00:34:09you know what
00:34:10Uno
00:34:11Uno is good
00:34:11and you have
00:34:13your playing card
00:34:13you have playing cards
00:34:15oh my god

00:34:18one up
00:34:18no you didn't give
00:34:19anything
00:34:19oh thank you lord
00:34:20we tried to rob him
00:34:21and almost died
00:34:22yeah
00:34:22okay so let's get
00:34:23on the carpet
00:34:24let's get to Shaleel
00:34:25so we're gonna be
00:34:25friendly to her
00:34:26we're not gonna like
00:34:26we're not gonna like
00:34:27we can't afford to find her
00:34:29why don't we stop by
00:34:30and be like
00:34:30girl you need a ride
00:34:31now if she gets pissed off
00:34:33and attacks us
00:34:33then we have to fight
00:34:34if I say let's not
00:34:35try to go
00:34:36but then she'll get
00:34:36the first hit
00:34:37we don't want to
00:34:37sneak attack
00:34:38she has four armor
00:34:42suits
00:34:43god
00:34:43they're strong
00:34:44they're gonna be strong
00:34:45she's not a bad person
00:34:45I think the smartest thing
00:34:46is for Troianne
00:34:48to start a conversation
00:34:49with her
00:34:49because there's a relationship
00:34:50there's already a
00:34:51developed thing
00:34:51open and honest communication
00:34:52I think so
00:34:53I just want to quickly
00:34:54make sure I've taken off
00:34:55my detect spell
00:34:56so that no one around me

00:45:12racing over
00:45:14the wastelands
00:45:14you see that
00:45:15there is a
00:45:16field beneath you
00:45:18and much of
00:45:19the underworld
00:45:20is very barren
00:45:21but you see
00:45:22this field
00:45:22that first
00:45:23almost looks like
00:45:24crops
00:45:25or there's
00:45:25some sort of
00:45:26thing
00:45:26something plants
00:45:27here
00:45:27but you know
00:45:27that nothing
00:45:27grows down
00:45:28here
00:45:28but you see
00:45:30it's actually
00:45:30a field
00:45:31of swords
00:45:32you see
00:45:33that there
00:45:33are swords
00:45:34planted
00:45:35in the ground
00:45:36point down
00:45:37and there's
00:45:38an entire
00:45:39field of them
00:45:40as you look
00:45:42down and behold
00:45:43them you see
00:45:43that there are
00:45:44soft lights
00:45:46sort of dancing
00:45:47almost like
00:45:48motes of starlight
00:45:49dancing in this
00:45:50field
00:45:51down beneath you
00:45:52it's a strange
00:45:55sight that may not
00:45:56have any significance
00:45:57to you in this
00:45:58moment
00:45:59and you're
00:46:00very busy
00:46:01moving as
00:46:02swiftly as you
00:46:02are but you
00:46:03do see it
00:46:03it has a strange
00:46:04sort of eerie
00:46:05beauty to it
00:46:06on that high
00:46:09roll as well
00:46:09having gotten
00:46:09that dirty 20
00:46:10moving over it
00:46:12you begin to see
00:46:13all of these
00:46:14swords there's
00:46:15hundreds of them
00:46:16and then you see
00:46:16other swords like
00:46:17spears and axes
00:46:18and you begin to
00:46:20see that
00:46:21their hilts are
00:46:24wrapped in like
00:46:25vines and leaves
00:46:26there are holly
00:46:28branches in the
00:46:28cross guards
00:46:29and I think you
00:46:31realize that these
00:46:32are the swords
00:46:33of fallen fairy
00:46:34warriors
00:46:35scattered all
00:46:37throughout this
00:46:37place
00:46:37you do not
00:46:40believe that your
00:46:41companions have
00:46:41noticed and
00:46:42perhaps it is
00:46:44there is too much
00:46:46urgency to stop
00:46:47or to point it out
00:46:48but I don't know
00:46:49but it's up to
00:46:49princess whether you
00:46:50want to point it out
00:46:51to your companions
00:46:51or not
00:46:52yeah princess
00:46:54taps twyla
00:46:56and points at
00:46:58the field of
00:46:59swords
00:47:00twyla looks up
00:47:01at princess
00:47:02and says
00:47:03what are you
00:47:04talking about
00:47:05okay well I
00:47:13think
00:47:14what does
00:47:16twyla do now
00:47:17she's really
00:47:17confused
00:47:18does she want
00:47:19to talk about
00:47:20her feelings
00:47:20I think so
00:47:22I think twyla's
00:47:23a little
00:47:23you know
00:47:23I think she's
00:47:25really sad now
00:47:26yeah
00:47:28are you
00:47:29how are you
00:47:30feeling
00:47:30are you
00:47:30just a little
00:47:31like
00:47:31because you've
00:47:32been
00:47:32all your people
00:47:33are gone too
00:47:34everybody's gone
00:47:34right
00:47:35and then like
00:47:36thinking back
00:47:37the trading
00:47:39situation was
00:47:40it was the
00:47:41memories
00:47:41that wanted
00:47:43to be gathered
00:47:43by that
00:47:44demon
00:47:46oh he wanted
00:47:47he wanted
00:47:48my memories
00:47:49and I think
00:47:50that because
00:47:51I've lost
00:47:51everything
00:47:52and my people
00:47:53that's all

00:47:57to be down

00:48:04maybe

00:49:22of swords
00:49:22are called
00:49:23will-o-wisps
00:49:24and basically
00:49:26the souls
00:49:27of fairies
00:49:28because fairies
00:49:28are almost like
00:49:29living spirits
00:49:30themselves
00:49:30they do not
00:49:32become corrupted
00:49:34in the underworld
00:49:35and rather than
00:49:36kind of like
00:49:37be in their
00:49:38bodies
00:49:39and sort of
00:49:39be like
00:49:40rotting
00:49:40and very like
00:49:41like a lot of
00:49:41the mortals
00:49:42you've seen
00:49:42they're still
00:49:42very attached
00:49:43to their lives
00:49:44but fairies
00:49:45are so
00:49:45of life
00:49:47and of the
00:49:47present moment
00:49:48what are they called
00:49:48will-o-wisps
00:49:50she won
00:49:51dark race
00:49:52will-o-wisps
00:49:53will-o-wisps
00:49:57it's the light
00:49:59spirit
00:50:00memory thing
00:50:01it's the little
00:50:01these yeah
00:50:02these are sort of
00:50:02like the living
00:50:03spirit
00:50:03or these are
00:50:04yeah
00:50:05the spirits
00:50:06of fallen
00:50:07fey
00:50:08that are not
00:50:09corrupted
00:50:10by the underworld
00:50:11but also
00:50:12in by sort of
00:50:13like remaining
00:50:14pure
00:50:14they just end up
00:50:15being these little
00:50:16motes of light
00:50:17there's a hundred
00:50:17something
00:50:18I'm imagining
00:50:18that the fey
00:50:19people are
00:50:20are made up
00:50:21of light
00:50:22and when they
00:50:23come down here
00:50:24they're just
00:50:25dimmed a little bit
00:50:27so their light
00:50:28still exists
00:50:28and
00:50:29Twyla's trying
00:50:31to release them
00:50:32is there anything

00:54:49very sacred
00:54:50and quite
00:54:51beautiful
00:54:51an issue
00:54:53that I foresee

00:54:55distance is
00:54:55we're in a lot
00:54:57of danger
00:54:57and you see he
00:54:58points on the
00:54:59horizon
00:55:00you look
00:55:01and it's hard to
00:55:02see because at
00:55:02first it looked like
00:55:03you thought it was
00:55:03like part of the
00:55:03sky
00:55:04but you see
00:55:06dust
00:55:10sand
00:55:11rock
00:55:12kicking up
00:55:13going straight up
00:55:15from the ground
00:55:16you realize
00:55:17you're looking at a
00:55:18mountain range
00:55:19you're looking at
00:55:21a wall
00:55:22of wind
00:55:23and sand
00:55:24as a storm
00:55:26races across
00:55:27the desert
00:55:28towards you
00:55:28it is
00:55:29miles
00:55:30miles
00:55:32wide
00:55:32you look at it
00:55:33at first
00:55:33it's so vast
00:55:34that you think
00:55:35you're looking at
00:55:35a piece of the
00:55:36landscape
00:55:36and then realize
00:55:38you see like
00:55:39a half a mile
00:55:40away
00:55:40a small
00:55:41weird little
00:55:42vein
00:55:42just get
00:55:43sucked up
00:55:45into the sky
00:55:46by a storm
00:55:46it's like a
00:55:47desert sandstorm
00:55:48racing towards
00:55:48you
00:55:49and as the
00:55:50wind moves
00:55:50you see
00:55:51faces
00:55:52in the sand
00:55:54Kerwin goes
00:55:56soul storm
00:55:56soul storm
00:55:57soul storm
00:55:58oh god
00:56:00can I do
00:56:02a rope trick
00:56:02none of our
00:56:03physical magic
00:56:03can we fly
00:56:04the fuck
00:56:05out of here
00:56:05with the magic
00:56:06carpet
00:56:06we're gonna turn
00:56:07around
00:56:08oh we got a carpet
00:56:08we're on the carpet
00:56:10yeah we don't want
00:56:10to go back
00:56:11we're just gonna
00:56:11go forward
00:56:12can we just go
00:56:12higher
00:56:13so where the
00:56:14soul storm
00:56:14is coming from
00:56:15you could try
00:56:15to outrace it
00:56:16it's coming
00:56:17right now
00:56:17from an angle
00:56:19coming to us
00:56:19it's coming
00:56:20towards you
00:56:21but it's not
00:56:22coming from the
00:56:22direction that
00:56:23you're going
00:56:23god it's from
00:56:24we're going
00:56:24that way
00:56:24and it's coming
00:56:25this way
00:56:25yeah it's coming
00:56:25from the side
00:56:26so it's possible
00:56:27you could try
00:56:28to just get
00:56:28on that carpet
00:56:28and outrace it
00:56:29I think so
00:56:30are there any

00:56:32or
00:56:32who's the heaviest
00:56:33they should like

01:11:42as a dead soul
01:11:43the goddess

01:11:48but
01:11:48four living mortals
01:11:50might stand a chance
01:11:50where I would not
01:11:51all right so
01:11:54this is what we know
01:11:56we know that we cannot
01:11:57fight our way
01:11:58through this one
01:11:58no
01:11:59what if we use our
01:12:00clasps
01:12:01and pretend to be
01:12:02undead
01:12:03but they shall snap us
01:12:04away maybe
01:12:04but we can get through
01:12:06the army at least
01:12:06the clasps only
01:12:08like the goddess's power
01:12:10is not based on illusion
01:12:12she only has power
01:12:13over the dead
01:12:14the wraith class
01:12:15would just make you
01:12:15seem dead
01:12:16so she would not
01:12:17gain power over you
01:12:18that's smart
01:12:20but to get through
01:12:21the Zarya Hex army
01:12:22I mean
01:12:23because they're like
01:12:24guarding us
01:12:24maybe she'll think
01:12:25we're just
01:12:25undead coming
01:12:27no it's not gonna happen
01:12:29it's kind of like in
01:12:30walking dead when they
01:12:31just pretend to be zombies
01:12:32so who's Zarya Hex
01:12:33keeping out
01:12:33is she keeping out
01:12:34the living
01:12:34because she's not dead
01:12:36so is she keeping out
01:12:37the living
01:12:37she's waiting for
01:12:39somebody
01:12:39so she's expecting
01:12:41two living souls
01:12:41she's expecting
01:12:42two living people
01:12:43but if four dead
01:12:44people walk up
01:12:45well five
01:12:46because nerd
01:12:47thank you
01:12:47you remember me
01:12:50I'm here
01:12:50maybe they won't
01:12:52expect that
01:12:53they're not expecting
01:12:53us
01:12:54can Kerwin go first
01:12:57maybe we should
01:12:58let's see how convincing
01:12:58these wraith clasps look
01:13:00oh okay

01:13:04Gertrude reaches
01:13:06into her backpack
01:13:06she pulls out
01:13:07her wraith clasp
01:13:08she looks at it
01:13:08it's really quite beautiful
01:13:10and she puts it over
01:13:11one horn

01:15:09by your actions
01:15:10and you take to the carpet
01:15:12and whisk away
01:15:14as you begin to approach
01:15:16the Tower of Tombs
01:15:16you see it
01:15:17monolith
01:15:18of obsidian
01:15:19basalt
01:15:20volcanic rock
01:15:22seems to drink
01:15:25the light
01:15:25and you see the base
01:15:26of the tower
01:15:27these red veins
01:15:30attached to the rock
01:15:32as though this stone
01:15:33itself
01:15:34were the dead
01:15:35unbeating heart
01:15:37of the ancient entity
01:15:38that was this
01:15:39underworld
01:15:40surrounding the base
01:15:43of the tower
01:15:43that you can see
01:15:44from a far distance
01:15:45you know
01:15:47you're way way up high
01:15:48you see
01:15:49shambling hordes
01:15:51zombie soldiers
01:15:53and you see
01:15:54these are
01:15:55unlike the
01:15:56dead souls
01:15:57you've met before
01:15:58completely under thrall
01:16:00they have no will
01:16:02anymore
01:16:03their unlife
01:16:04depends on the
01:16:06magical power
01:16:07of Zarya Hex
01:16:08we've got to put our
01:16:12acting skills
01:16:13to work here
01:16:14chattering skeletons
01:16:16begin to move around
01:16:19now here's the thing
01:16:20unfortunately
01:16:21flying overhead
01:16:22will give you away
01:16:23what do you want to do
01:16:24do you want to land
01:16:25and go
01:16:25I think we park the carpet
01:16:26and just kind of like
01:16:28walk up from the side
01:16:30and just kind of like
01:16:31like
01:16:31thriller up to the gate
01:16:34is there a world
01:16:38where I could
01:16:39we could still use
01:16:40a pass without trace spell
01:16:42absolutely
01:16:42I think
01:16:43what does it do
01:16:44so what happens is
01:16:45it disguises me
01:16:46us
01:16:47in shadows
01:16:48to aid
01:16:49in stealth
01:16:50and cover
01:16:50our tracks
01:16:51I will say
01:16:52because this is so
01:16:53specific
01:16:54I'm going to allow
01:16:55the plus 10
01:16:56from pass without trace
01:16:56to actually aid
01:16:58a performance check
01:17:00of you passing
01:17:01as undead
01:17:02in this space
01:17:03right
01:17:03so I'm going to say
01:17:05you summon those shadows
01:17:06and the shadows
01:17:07sort of fill
01:17:08the spots in your body
01:17:10so even all that
01:17:10rotting the wraith clasps
01:17:11are doing
01:17:12pass without shadows
01:17:13like finds the wounds
01:17:14and actually opens
01:17:15the shadow in your torso
01:17:16so it looks like
01:17:17there are holes
01:17:18in your body
01:17:19like true rot
01:17:21and like wounds
01:17:22and injuries
