00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,359
covering Dungeon Crawler Carl Book four Gate of the Farh Gods,

3
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:25,559
chapters thirty two and thirty three. In these chapters, there

4
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:30,800
is a secret plan and then there's the public plan,

5
00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:35,719
and I don't know entirely what the secret plan is,

6
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,920
and there's apparently litigation surrounding it, and you, guys, I

7
00:00:41,520 --> 00:01:05,959
want to know so bad. Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome

8
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,040
to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very

9
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:16,480
much to Michael for commissioning this episode. I am first

10
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,159
of all, guys. I had thought when I started listening

11
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:25,640
yesterday to this section that I was going to be

12
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,680
able to finish the book, and then looked at the

13
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,640
chart and realized I had one more episode, and I

14
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:38,000
was like, dah, there is so much like. This is

15
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,120
something that I'm actually a big fan of. There's a

16
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:44,959
couple of ways that you can do this. You know,

17
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:48,719
whenever you are going to have there be a surprise

18
00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:52,120
in the final act of a story, you can have

19
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,760
it be that your audience knows the surprise is coming.

20
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:02,040
You can try and make the surprise like act like

21
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:04,519
there's not going to be a twist at all, or

22
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,040
you can give them a hint that a twist is

23
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:10,240
going to come and hope they forget it, which is

24
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,639
something that like Jim Butcher does a lot in The

25
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:16,960
Dress and Files. He'll have Harry on the phone with

26
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,039
some character off screen and just be hanging up when

27
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:24,919
somebody comes in, and that's your hint that he was

28
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,919
in touch with somebody before they go to the big showdown.

29
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:33,439
And so when eventually the cavalry arrives, you can think

30
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,400
back to, oh, he was getting off the phone with Karen.

31
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,280
I should have known he was setting something up with her,

32
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,680
but you just kind of gloss over it at the time.

33
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,879
If you're able to pull off the there's no twist,

34
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,639
I swear, and then you make a twist happen. If

35
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:56,000
you can do that, well it's great. I do really

36
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,120
like this though, where you are aware that there is

37
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,919
I don't want to say a twist because it doesn't

38
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,240
really count as a twist when the audience is aware

39
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,039
of it, but you know that what it looks like

40
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,319
isn't what's going to happen, And the author wants you

41
00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:19,680
to know what they are saying isn't what's actually going

42
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:25,000
to happen, and then you get to try and like

43
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,080
spitball and come up with ideas about what that actually is.

44
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,840
I am going to be honest, kids, I thought about

45
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:36,039
this and the only thing that I can even think

46
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,439
about is sending all the NPCs onto that like ninth

47
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,479
or whatever floor the gate of the paralh gods will

48
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:49,439
open into. I don't know if that even is anything,

49
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:55,680
like you know what I'm saying, and other than that,

50
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,840
because it seems like what he's trying to do has

51
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:04,800
to do with other cross and from I believe the

52
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,360
whole what do you call it? A big part of

53
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,439
what they're doing that is potentially something that the game

54
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,920
runners could shut down but don't is rescuing everybody using

55
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:29,120
the actual gait itself. That is something that I it

56
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,240
didn't occur to me just because of drawing something out

57
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,399
of the nothing every time and just the you know,

58
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:38,519
then you pull a god in and it just becomes

59
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,839
such a complete clusterfuck. But it didn't really occur to

60
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:46,279
me that like, potentially it might still be worth it

61
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,120
if it's an avoidable situation. Depends on if it is,

62
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,720
can you guarantee that? And like as we see, there

63
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,759
are a lot of things that are dependent on one

64
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:02,839
another another, not just like within the bubble, where it

65
00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:06,720
seems here in their bubble, if we had solved the

66
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:10,160
underground thing first, it would have been better for the

67
00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:15,079
entire puzzle. But like the other bubbles are having things

68
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,240
happen in them that once the bubbles burst or once

69
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:23,720
the uh like if a god shows up in one

70
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:29,240
and is too big for it. There's one that had

71
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,720
filled with water, and these people solve it and the

72
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:36,399
bubble pops, and there are other folks who are like

73
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,560
on the ground near that bubble that wind up getting

74
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,639
drowned by the water that came out of a different bubble.

75
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,480
I just really want to register my profound irritation with

76
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,279
this being how it works. And this is part of

77
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,839
what's like so funny about the parallels between a game

78
00:05:57,959 --> 00:06:03,360
like this and how life actually works, because it, like, folks,

79
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:09,879
it's almost impossible to do anything that isn't somehow affecting

80
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,759
other people in your life, especially if it's like on

81
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,079
a large scale. You know what I'm saying. And I

82
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,439
really really enjoy and I mean this in like a

83
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,759
I hate it actually kind of way, but the idea

84
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,680
that like, you're just minding your own business. You finish

85
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,000
your puzzle, you feel good about it, you are out,

86
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:35,600
it's done, hooray, maybe we can help somebody else. You're

87
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:39,560
out here altruistic, and then you get fucking killed, not

88
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:42,639
because somebody was coming after you, not because anybody decided

89
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,160
they were gonna kill a puppy and they don't care

90
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,800
about you, purely a side effect of them solving their puzzle,

91
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,639
and that kills you. This is like, it's such a complex,

92
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,920
weird thing, and globalization has definitely made this more of

93
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:01,519
a thing as well, where now everything is on such

94
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,160
a huge scale that the choices we make more directly.

95
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,240
It's always been that there's ripple effects to anything we do,

96
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,319
but it didn't used to be such a traceable, one

97
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,279
to one kind of cause and effect as it is now.

98
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,439
And it makes me think of like in the good Place,

99
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,319
how eventually somebody tries to get like a good score

100
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:29,959
on Earth by going down and just purchasing a tomato

101
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,680
to make a sandwich, and they accumulate all of these

102
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,879
negative points in just buying a tomato because the store

103
00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:40,800
that they have to go to everybody is underpaid and

104
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:44,680
the people who harvested the tomato were being exploited, and

105
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,279
there's chemicals that are used on the tomato that we're

106
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:51,759
destroying the environment around the farm. There are so many

107
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,240
factors that negatively affect everything that you fucking can't help.

108
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,360
What are these people in the other bubble with the

109
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:00,839
water supposed to do? Not solve because they're going to

110
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:03,959
kill the other crawlers. Like, there's only so much much

111
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
that you have control over, and yet it doesn't change

112
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,480
feeling responsible for things. You know, that's the part that

113
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,480
makes me so sad. So all of it is just

114
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:23,240
like it's it's so deeply unfair, and it's also really

115
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:28,720
deeply relatable and understandable in a particular way. That's like

116
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:33,279
it just makes me sit back and think because you know,

117
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,279
it's the same question that always comes up, especially when

118
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:38,320
you have people who are acting in bad faith in

119
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:41,200
like comment sections where you say like, oh, hey, we

120
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,720
should improve you know, the working conditions for the kids

121
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,360
that are being forced to mind cobalt for our cell phones,

122
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:52,279
and then they're like, oh, but I bet you posted

123
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:54,600
this from your cell phone. Huh, Like it's a real

124
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,240
gotcha kind of question, and it's like, yeah, I participate

125
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,360
in the society that I would like to improve. Wow,

126
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,000
you really got me, you know, like, there's just this

127
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,000
sort of accusation that unless you are able to be

128
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,679
completely separate from it, you don't get to criticize it.

129
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:20,320
And it's asinine. It's so stupid. So anyway, oh my god,

130
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:23,360
Michael brings up the good place in the in the chat.

131
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,039
That's so funny. It was a buy a flower for

132
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,440
their grandmother. If I recall, says Michael. Okay, a guy

133
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:33,639
five hundred years ago got one hundred good points for

134
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,279
buying the flower. The modern day lost five points overall

135
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,320
because of all the complex crap of modern day economics.

136
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,559
There you go. Yeah, it's just the world functions differently

137
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:51,000
when we have the kinds of immediate communication and trade,

138
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,799
and you know, the United States interfering with the actual

139
00:09:55,919 --> 00:10:03,679
governments of neighboring countries because they want cheap bananas, like,

140
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:08,039
it's fucking bonkers. I almost said it's bananas. Then I

141
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,960
realized that was a poor taste considering. But apologies everybody,

142
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,879
that was not on purpose. So anyway, yeah, this I'm

143
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:18,000
getting ahead of myself, as I do, but I just

144
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:24,879
it really was making me think of that. So chapter

145
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,480
thirty two, This is so interesting note by Kroller, Justice Light.

146
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,279
I made a mistake today. I killed an NPC. I

147
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,159
shouldn't have. We are strong people. The skyfowl of the

148
00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:44,399
White Cliffs this is a skyfowl which is the same

149
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,480
race that Mordecai is. And it really got me like thinking,

150
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,320
does Mordecai was that always? His name? Is the name

151
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,320
he has here? Like his name or what? Is it

152
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,320
possible he could have written in this and we wouldn't

153
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,480
know it was him. We do not take insults without retribution.

154
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,519
He was a proprietor of a store selling trap supplies

155
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,600
in a large settlement here on the sixth floor. I

156
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,919
needed what he had, but he insulted me, so I

157
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,879
killed him. It let me take the item that was

158
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:18,679
on the shelf, but he had so much more. He

159
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:20,879
always said the items were in the back, but there

160
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:23,639
was nothing there. I think everything was in his inventory.

161
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,279
But it appears shopkeepers don't drop their full inventory if

162
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:29,879
you kill them. Now the town guards are after me,

163
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,440
and the shop, which was a good source of supplies

164
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:35,320
for me and many others, is just gone. And I

165
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,039
fear the whole operation is going to fail thanks to

166
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,679
my actions. It was the only trap shop on the

167
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,679
whole floor. This is something we should make note, we

168
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,919
should know and remain aware of. Do not make the

169
00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:52,120
same mistake as me. Killing of these innocents should be

170
00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:59,360
kept to a minimum unless absolutely necessary. It's honestly kind

171
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,679
of funny that he's like talking saying like, killing of

172
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,600
these innocence, the dude was already innocent. Just because he

173
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,480
insulted you, you decided to kill him, Like, that's you

174
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,639
being fucking bonkers. But it feels like he's not apologizing

175
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,759
for that part at all. He's just like, I wish

176
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,440
I had known what would happen, but not that I

177
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,159
have learned. Maybe I shouldn't just kill people because I've

178
00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:30,120
been insulted. And I mean, I can see how when

179
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,200
you have a kind of value system that makes it

180
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:39,879
responding to an insult with murder is a reasonable response.

181
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:43,879
I don't think changing your mind on that is going

182
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:48,200
to be very easy, so, you know, fair. But I

183
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:51,159
just couldn't help but laugh a little bit at the

184
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,320
whole vibe of this, of it just being like, yeah,

185
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,320
we should really not do that to these innocents. Oh

186
00:12:57,399 --> 00:13:03,600
you say now, okay? And the idea that like, the

187
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:07,559
storekeepers don't drop all their stuff. Of course they don't.

188
00:13:08,799 --> 00:13:12,279
That would make it so easy to just completely deprive

189
00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:14,960
everybody on the floor of everything while taking it all

190
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,639
for yourself. Like that would just break the game if

191
00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:21,279
it was possible to do that, So I would never

192
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,480
have expected that to be possible. I also wonder if

193
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:29,799
this person got like tracked down, did other folks know

194
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,600
they were responsible for murdering the shopkeeper and thus the

195
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:38,480
deprivation of everybody else of these traps, and were they

196
00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:41,200
kind of like, oh, we need to get this guy

197
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,879
for doing this. There are some folks I think that

198
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:46,120
would have that attitude, but it doesn't really help them

199
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:49,080
in like, in the end, taking down the dude who

200
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,639
killed the shopkeeper doesn't bring the shopkeeper back to life

201
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:57,399
and make their inventory available again. So I think that

202
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,399
a lot of folks would just kind of be like,

203
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:02,080
what a fun idiot, and like keep it moving, which

204
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,879
I think is likely the best attitude to have. But

205
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,159
I wouldn't be surprised if he had wound up with

206
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,960
some more enemies by the end of that day than

207
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,120
he had expected. So, oh god, sorry, guys, I just

208
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,000
heard something and I think one of my cats knocked

209
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:26,639
something over. It just sounded very loud. So let's see

210
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,320
surrenderl Gore. He's gone. The world is still too hot.

211
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,080
Everything melted. One of us can fly, and she's going

212
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,960
out there to put the last crystal in place, which

213
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,039
will pop the bubble. We're going to have to go

214
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,600
down the stairs right after. Thanks for the Platinum box too.

215
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,879
I got an upgrade for my flamethrower. A guy in

216
00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:43,159
my group got a Tomb of Heel party. Everyone is

217
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,159
getting good stuff. So even though they're not able to

218
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,519
directly go in and like help them, they are helping.

219
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,320
But this has resulted in something that can be advantageous

220
00:14:53,360 --> 00:15:02,279
to them, which is really nice. Carl, meanwhile, is he

221
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:05,240
has these tattoos on the backs of his hands that

222
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:10,240
are one is a sun with like straight pointy triangle rays,

223
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,440
and the others rays are like wavy. I'm really curious

224
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,879
about what that means, if like the straight rays are

225
00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:18,559
just regular sunlay and the wavy rays are more intense

226
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,320
sunlight or vice versa, if there's like any real meaning

227
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,440
to those at all, or what. But Mordecai, it turns out,

228
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:31,279
knows right away that he has begun to worship a

229
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:37,519
god because a shrine appears in their space, which turns

230
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:40,759
out to be very handy because he's going to have

231
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,159
to make a sacrifice of a drop of blood every day,

232
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:46,960
and if he can't get to like a proper shrine

233
00:15:47,039 --> 00:15:49,960
on the floor, he can do it from there. Which

234
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,559
I've got to admit the idea that it's like you've

235
00:15:53,600 --> 00:16:01,879
got something right within your where you sleep, right near you.

236
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,759
I just see this being a pretty easy thing to

237
00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:08,720
keep up with. Unless and this is something that I'm

238
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,039
not really sure if I am reading this right or not,

239
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:21,080
but so I'm gonna read this. You must adhere to

240
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,440
the following rules. You mustn't cause harm to fellow worshipers

241
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,879
of Embress. That one might be pretty tough. That might

242
00:16:29,919 --> 00:16:33,080
be pretty tough, Like there's all kinds of ways that

243
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,519
can pop up and fuck you. So that one made

244
00:16:35,559 --> 00:16:38,759
me nervous. You must stop and offer a single drop

245
00:16:38,799 --> 00:16:41,440
of blood at an Embress temple at least once a day.

246
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,919
If no temples are found in a thirty hour period,

247
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,639
you must make me offering at the shrine that has

248
00:16:46,679 --> 00:16:50,639
now appeared in your personal space. The way that sounds

249
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,000
makes it seem like, if there is a temple on

250
00:16:55,039 --> 00:16:59,120
your floor, you need to find it and like or

251
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:03,759
at least within a reasonable distance, and that then doing

252
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,039
it at your shrine doesn't count, like because there's a

253
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:10,799
temple that you should be going to instead. I don't

254
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:13,359
really think that's what it actually means, but it just

255
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,960
kind of was warded in such a way that it

256
00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:20,559
made me concerned that the lack of clarity could be

257
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,839
exploited to really screw carl over because I get very

258
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,519
paranoid about that kind of thing. Five percent of all

259
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:30,599
looted gold must also be tossed into the shrine, which

260
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,599
of course I knew immediately. Don't know what was gonna

261
00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:36,559
get pissed, and she is five percent is like it's

262
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,039
not as steep as it could be, but like that's

263
00:17:39,079 --> 00:17:42,960
not nothing. You may not own or wield any magical

264
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,000
gear that is blessed by the God Hellic, which as

265
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,960
far as I know, he doesn't have anything in his

266
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,400
possession right now that falls under that. So I think

267
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,200
we're good with that. And then you must successfully complete

268
00:17:56,279 --> 00:18:03,799
all issued church quests. There goes another one, Like I

269
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:15,119
church quests, there is something about how anything could like

270
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:21,160
that could mean or manifest in so many ways. I

271
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,599
am worried that it's the sort of thing that will

272
00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:28,279
make it like difficult to just do the missions that

273
00:18:28,319 --> 00:18:30,920
you're meant to do for the floor, because this thing

274
00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:36,440
goes in direct opposition to the mission. Once again, it's

275
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:41,319
me putting. It's me like just using my anxiety to

276
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,960
create a worst case scenario of how this could really

277
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:47,880
screw you. And it may not come to that, but

278
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,359
ordinarily in life I would just be like, hey, the

279
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,240
worst case scenario isn't necessarily likely, relax. But we're not

280
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,000
in life. We are in a game with an AI

281
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,400
that likes to toy with you, with bad people who

282
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,079
want to watch you die, So the worst case scenario

283
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,440
is much much more likely. And thus I'm just like

284
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,279
all of these things there is too much room within them.

285
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,440
It makes it seem for our end of things like

286
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,480
it's not that big a deal, But to me reading it,

287
00:19:28,599 --> 00:19:32,599
I'm going, oh no, oh no, Like it's just so

288
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,400
open ended that it makes me way way more nervous

289
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,240
due to that. So that's just to start. And then

290
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,000
all adherents and good standing receive the following holy benefits,

291
00:19:46,079 --> 00:19:49,640
access to all temples of Embrus. All temples of Embress

292
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,920
now appear on your map. All temples of Hellic now

293
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,559
appear on your map. All worshippers of Embress will be

294
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:56,799
indicated with the symbol. All worshipers of Hellic will be

295
00:19:56,799 --> 00:20:00,079
indicated with the symbol. All helic worshiping and PC's do

296
00:20:00,319 --> 00:20:02,559
and mobs killed by you will now offer one hundred

297
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,480
percent more experience, which is insane. Immunity to burn effect.

298
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,720
All physical attacks by you have a ten percent chance

299
00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:16,920
to inflict burn free access asterisk to Club Vanquisher, regardless

300
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,039
of previous current affiliations. Every five consecutive days of worship

301
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:24,519
you will receive a boon from the God. Additional benefits

302
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:28,440
and responsibilities will become available as your worship circle increases.

303
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,480
And we have a little bit of Karl like looking

304
00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:35,079
at these and thinking, actually, that's a pretty solid you know.

305
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,720
And the first boon that he gets is constitution raised

306
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,359
by twenty five percent for thirty hours, which is pretty solid.

307
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,599
And that's a reward for reuniting Embers with the puppy.

308
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,319
But then the quest find out who killed my son,

309
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,799
and I knew that this was coming when the description

310
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,599
of the puppy included his son was killed by unknown

311
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,920
person or persons. I was like, all right, that's definitely

312
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,599
going to be coming up. I did not expect, though,

313
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,319
for Karl to be like lead detective on the case.

314
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,680
I thought it was going to be the sort of

315
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,920
thing that like eventually that would unravel as part of

316
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,000
going through the floors, you know. But it being the

317
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,920
main event for Carl specifically and not the main event

318
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,440
for like a whole floor is really interesting because, you guys,

319
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,599
I don't know if the people listening to this are aware,

320
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,359
but murder mysteries are kind of catnipped to me. I

321
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,680
fucking love them. I just there. They're so much fun.

322
00:21:43,319 --> 00:21:47,079
They they can be. There's so much you can do.

323
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,599
You can make a murder mystery into a straight up comedy.

324
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,119
It can be tragic, it can be a mixture. It

325
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,359
can be something that's like very revealing about something like

326
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,000
an injustice in our actual world. It can be completely fantastical.

327
00:22:01,559 --> 00:22:08,039
Everything about murder mysteries is so up to whoever is

328
00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:12,839
in charge of it, and they are so ripe for

329
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:18,200
all kinds of like character exploration and human nature exploration,

330
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,599
you know, like all of that sort of thing. So

331
00:22:21,319 --> 00:22:24,759
personally finding out that we're going to be dealing with

332
00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:27,200
a murder mystery. I will tell you what, my friends,

333
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:30,400
I'm here for it. I am so so here for it.

334
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,440
I'm very excited. So anyway, I don't know that this

335
00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:37,480
is like really going to take up that much of

336
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,160
his time to begin with, because it says that there is.

337
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,000
It says there's no time limit for the quest. However,

338
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:46,039
you will receive a smite if you attempt to exit

339
00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:48,440
the eighteenth floor of the World Dungeon before this task

340
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:53,039
is complete. Reward that depends on who did it. I

341
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:56,119
don't like that one little bit. What that sounds like

342
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,960
to me is if it turns out a person that

343
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:01,240
I like is guilty this, I'm going to take it

344
00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:04,200
out on you that I feel betrayed by that person.

345
00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:06,000
And it may not be what it means at all,

346
00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:09,400
but that's what it fucking sounds like to me. Also,

347
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,920
the fact that the like I don't know what a

348
00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:15,960
smite is, does receive a smite kill you? Does that

349
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,359
just cause like horrific pain? Does it take a limb off,

350
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,920
like I don't know what the effect of a smite is?

351
00:23:24,079 --> 00:23:26,319
And that determines Also the way that I feel about

352
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:31,119
some of these things. And in addition, the fact that

353
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,640
there's like not a time limit means that this mystery

354
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:37,079
might take a real back seat. And I got very

355
00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:40,440
excited initially when he was given this as a quest,

356
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,200
but then when it was said that we don't need

357
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,359
to worry about how soon you do it, I got

358
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,160
a little disappointed because I thought, maybe this isn't going

359
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,960
to be as much of a focus as I was hoping.

360
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:55,119
So I guess we'll see, you know, I'm just sharing

361
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,519
how I feel about this overall, and I'm very anxious

362
00:23:58,519 --> 00:24:01,119
about the parameters. But I really really love the idea

363
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,160
of a murder mystery. And then new quest kill Heleck,

364
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,720
God of Son and Life, my twin brother, and he

365
00:24:09,839 --> 00:24:12,000
knows that helic is unlikely to have been the one

366
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,400
who killed his son because he was in a whole

367
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,559
meeting with everybody at the time of the murder. There's

368
00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:19,880
also the possibility that there is like some shape shifter

369
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,359
god who was there and looked like Helck and actually

370
00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:24,799
Helick did do it, Like I don't know, you know,

371
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,480
regardless though Hellck is has an expiration date on him,

372
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:33,079
it's like, I don't know, I don't think he killed

373
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,799
my son, but I still want him dead because fuck

374
00:24:34,839 --> 00:24:40,680
that guy, and you will receive a bonus if his

375
00:24:40,759 --> 00:24:44,200
death is painful. Helick must die before you reach the

376
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,160
twelfth floor. If he still lives, you will receive a

377
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:52,119
smite reward. Slaying Hellck will result in a celestial god

378
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,240
box warning. Killing a god may have some unintended consequences

379
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:04,039
for all crawlers think And yeah, Karl basically is just like,

380
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,279
all right, well, I can't worry about that right now.

381
00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:11,079
These gods that I have seen so far are level

382
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:18,000
two hundred and fifty, so that's like out of range

383
00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:21,240
so utterly that there's no point in even worrying about

384
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:24,440
it at this point, which I'm going to go ahead

385
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,559
and assume that he's going to use the worst what

386
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,160
is it, uh, the Carl's doomsday scenario thing, that you

387
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,559
could use that to kill a god, I guess, but uh,

388
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,200
I don't know how you do that without also killing

389
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:44,799
everybody on the floor. So it's not like knowing the

390
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,799
means of the murder of a god is really the point,

391
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,519
because it's how would you manage to pull that off?

392
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,920
That's the question. Also, the idea of like really hating

393
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,519
your twin brother like this, and the consequences of killing

394
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:06,000
a god of like the Son and Life. I just

395
00:26:06,839 --> 00:26:12,759
don't think that Empress is somebody who gives a fuck

396
00:26:12,839 --> 00:26:17,319
what happens to the people who are on the planet

397
00:26:17,599 --> 00:26:23,119
that you do this too. So I am very worried

398
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,599
about the effects of killing Heleck because I just think

399
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,119
Empress doesn't care what happens to everybody else, and so

400
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,559
it could be really dire and really awful, and he

401
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:39,039
wouldn't give any shits at all. I don't like it.

402
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:45,759
This all makes me very, very nervous. So let's see,

403
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:47,599
I'm trying to find oh yeah here, So the part

404
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,480
where a donut immediately is like you're just going to

405
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,119
have to remove yourself from his religion and Carl says

406
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,400
Bee's parents paid twenty percent of their income to their church.

407
00:26:57,839 --> 00:26:59,839
They used to get mad at her when she didn't donate.

408
00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:04,519
This is something that I am so blown away by. Like,

409
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,079
first of all, the facts that churches are tax exempt

410
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,400
is just the biggest scam in the entire world. But

411
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:18,839
I cannot imagine donating that much of Like, look, I

412
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,640
already pay taxes at about a twenty five percent rate

413
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,240
because I'm a small business in the United States, I'm

414
00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:29,799
sure now actually it's more around thirty percent. And you know,

415
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,319
I make about fifteen bucks an hour after expenses, so

416
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,039
I'm making really around twelve dollars an hour for the

417
00:27:39,079 --> 00:27:41,720
work that I do in the end, and that's assuming

418
00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:44,640
I'm just doing a forty hour week, which isn't usual.

419
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:48,920
I'm normally working more than that. So it's just a

420
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:55,160
sort of weird thing to think about even having that

421
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,880
much money that I could give away twenty percent of

422
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,559
it and still get by like that in itself is

423
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:06,839
mind blowing to me. And when I was growing up,

424
00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:10,680
when I was very young, my father was a coke dealer,

425
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,759
and so we had all kinds of money, and we

426
00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:14,880
lived in a really nice condo and I got anything

427
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,519
I wanted up until about like age seven or six,

428
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,839
and then my dad decided that he had found Jesus

429
00:28:20,839 --> 00:28:23,200
and he wasn't going to sell drugs anymore, and he

430
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:25,920
wanted to get rid of the condo and anything that

431
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:28,200
was like bought with blood money, as he saw it,

432
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:34,000
and he began tithing a huge portion of his paycheck

433
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,799
to his church, and it was a real bone of

434
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,119
contention between him and my mom because there were things

435
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,960
that she wanted for me. You know, when you are

436
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,200
in public school, there's a lot of stuff that is

437
00:28:50,279 --> 00:28:54,240
not just included. There are field trips that cost quite

438
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,440
a lot to go on, and it's not mandatory that

439
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,000
you go, so you just don't go if you can't

440
00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:04,799
afford it. There's a say, t training that is paid,

441
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,000
you know, after school stuff that you have to buy

442
00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:11,680
extra books for. And there were things that she wanted

443
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,759
for me that we couldn't afford, that we could have

444
00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:17,640
afforded if he had not been tithing. And she really

445
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,279
felt a way about it because she wasn't a member

446
00:29:19,319 --> 00:29:22,200
of the church, you know, And I think about that

447
00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:25,599
a lot, just like I don't know how much he

448
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,400
was tithing. I'm not even sure my mother was fully aware.

449
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:33,240
It's possible that, like she didn't know until they went

450
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:35,279
to do their taxes at one point and then she

451
00:29:35,359 --> 00:29:38,880
found out. And that's why it seemed like suddenly there

452
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,000
was this thing between them, because it did seem to

453
00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:44,559
like very appear like kind of overnight, this issue. So

454
00:29:44,799 --> 00:29:46,759
I had my suspicions that it was something like that

455
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:50,400
where he was tithing and she simply didn't see his paycheck.

456
00:29:50,759 --> 00:29:54,160
She just saw what was like deposited and then later

457
00:29:54,839 --> 00:29:57,400
saw his paychecks during tax time and was like, what

458
00:29:57,759 --> 00:30:02,759
the fuck. But it's just mind blowing to me, especially

459
00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:07,160
considering the churches that get all these donors look like

460
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,640
fucking sports arenas, and it's the kind of thing that like,

461
00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:15,440
if you haven't seen a church like that, it's hard

462
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:23,960
to explain. But the I understand the role that church

463
00:30:24,039 --> 00:30:26,680
plays in a lot of people's lives and that they

464
00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:29,720
are it's like a home for them, and it's their family,

465
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,839
and so spending all of this money on a building

466
00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:38,640
that is well equipped and comfortable and safe, all of

467
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,599
that is important and valid in its way, but it's

468
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,440
the fact that you're not paying taxes on any of that.

469
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,359
That's the part. Everybody deserves a community that they can

470
00:30:50,359 --> 00:30:53,839
feel that way about. But unless it's a church, it's

471
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:58,920
like it's a whole different enterprise. And then that's setting

472
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,680
aside the actual corruption in a lot of churches, you know.

473
00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:07,400
So anyway, this whole thing, the idea of twenty percent

474
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,960
guys twenty percent that you're able to just like give

475
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:17,519
up and live without, what is that like? So let's see.

476
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,920
Mordecai also called me an idiot, but he was distracted.

477
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,400
He said he needed us to get back to the

478
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,960
safe room as soon as possible. Thanks to Samantha's help,

479
00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:27,920
he'd figured out the yam thing. He had a potion

480
00:31:28,079 --> 00:31:34,039
for me, which I'm very curious about. And then, you guys,

481
00:31:34,079 --> 00:31:39,640
this moment, fresh blood splattered on the metal that was

482
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,960
from Kwan's passage. I smiled, looking down at the bare

483
00:31:44,079 --> 00:31:47,000
arms still in my hand. Had I just been walking

484
00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:51,680
with this thing in my hand? Huh? You guys, I

485
00:31:51,799 --> 00:31:55,440
know that I said I didn't like Doughnut telling him

486
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,759
that he was crazy, and I stand by that. I

487
00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:01,960
don't like it. But the fact that Carl was walking

488
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,759
around carrying that arm and didn't realize it is genuinely

489
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:12,680
a problem that's really worrying kids. I don't like that

490
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,799
at all. That was a moment of me just being

491
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,799
so uttered, like I don't know why, but I fully

492
00:32:19,839 --> 00:32:22,039
thought he had put that shit away in his inventory.

493
00:32:23,119 --> 00:32:26,839
And it's a moment for me that I'm like, oh God,

494
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,759
they can exploit that so utterly for the recap later

495
00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:35,799
ripping it off. I felt was totally valid in the moment,

496
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:40,400
and not even really Carl's fault exactly, but I knew

497
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,240
that they'd be able to edit that in such a way.

498
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,759
Finding out that Carl's just walking around holding it that

499
00:32:47,839 --> 00:32:49,519
really made me put my head in my hands and

500
00:32:49,559 --> 00:32:51,559
I was just like, oh, there is no way to

501
00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:56,079
make that not look insane. I immediately just felt away

502
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,759
about that. Not a good look, Carl, That's all I'm saying.

503
00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:08,480
And we get then the uh like Doughnut being like

504
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:12,599
he's really going to be after us now and that

505
00:33:13,079 --> 00:33:15,799
Carl should have killed him, and Carl's like, look, I

506
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:20,559
I fucking tried. This is when he looks at the rings.

507
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,519
The first one was plus two for strength. He puts

508
00:33:26,519 --> 00:33:32,279
that one on the second ring, rock Guard's Ring of Sniping.

509
00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:36,720
This amber stone ring is named after Rock Guard, one

510
00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:41,839
of the Dungeon's most infamous crawlers. This Orchish warrior was

511
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,559
known for his uncanny ability to swoop in at the

512
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,319
last moment and steal glory from other crawlers, gaining the

513
00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:54,480
best loot and experience. Everybody hated him. It was great

514
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,279
fun fact. This guy led his season's top ten list

515
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,039
until he was knifed in his sleep by his own mother.

516
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,680
Luckily for you, crawlers can't be killed by other crawlers

517
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,519
and safe rooms anymore. The shame really wearing this ring

518
00:34:09,559 --> 00:34:14,760
inbuse the following benefits, the ripe benefit, the loaded benefit,

519
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:18,159
and ripe is. All creatures with less than fifty percent

520
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:23,800
health are indicated on your map, and loaded all non

521
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,639
hidden creatures wearing magical gear are indicated on your map.

522
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,559
Particularly useful when you only want to hang out with

523
00:34:30,599 --> 00:34:33,519
the real fashionistas and not just the posers wearing fake shit.

524
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:36,400
Also good if you want to sneak up behind someone,

525
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,000
bonk them on the head, on their head and steal

526
00:34:39,079 --> 00:34:48,679
all their stuff. So yeah, that is pretty intense. Carl

527
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,719
does put this ring on. I don't blame him for

528
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:57,760
putting it on. I will say, I really hope this

529
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:02,239
doesn't become a thing for him, because I just can't

530
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:09,760
really respect it. However, you gotta do what you gotta do,

531
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,800
you know, like hmm, So I'm not gonna be too

532
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:20,679
judgy about it. And then the last ring is a

533
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,440
gold ring that is like stuck on his finger, clearly

534
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,079
because Kwan never took that ring off. This is something

535
00:35:27,159 --> 00:35:31,320
that really happens. I think it was last year or

536
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,480
the year before, Rashan had to go to a jeweler

537
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,480
and have her wedding ring cut off her finger because

538
00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:43,880
she never took it off and she gained weight and

539
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,880
she finally was like, probably I should get this thing resized,

540
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,239
and she tried to take it off and she couldn't,

541
00:35:50,039 --> 00:35:51,719
so she had to go to a jeweler who was

542
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,639
able to remove it and resize it for her. And

543
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,920
that is apparently what happens here, because in the effort

544
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,719
to get the ring off his finger, Carl like breaks

545
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,079
the finger and it's just gold, sappy gold ring, worthless,

546
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:08,920
toss it. But when he holds it up, he sees

547
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,880
carved on the inside of the ring it says for Daddy,

548
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:20,280
and Carl holds onto it. He tries to put it

549
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,559
back on the finger and it won't go all the way,

550
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:25,280
but he just winds up putting the whole thing in

551
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,079
his inventory and thus holds onto the ring as well.

552
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:35,920
And I am really curious if it's going to matter

553
00:36:36,119 --> 00:36:42,000
to Kwan that Carl has that ring when you've lost

554
00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:48,920
everything and you have exactly one piece of nostalgia that

555
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:54,039
you've held onto your entire life, and then everything that

556
00:36:54,280 --> 00:37:01,079
you knew gets smushed flat. I could see that mattering

557
00:37:01,199 --> 00:37:06,960
a whole lot. I am not this way, which is

558
00:37:07,039 --> 00:37:10,960
kind of funny considering that I can be a materialistic person.

559
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,679
I really love comfort, I really love beauty, but I

560
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:23,519
also am weirdly Uh, what's unromantic is not the word,

561
00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:28,039
I guess like unsentimental. A thing can be meaningful to me,

562
00:37:28,519 --> 00:37:31,800
and I will be sad if I lose it, but

563
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,760
if I know somebody else has it, I'm not just

564
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,920
gonna move heaven and earth to get it back, because

565
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,360
in the end, it's just a thing, you know. But

566
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,559
not everybody is like that. A lot of people, you know,

567
00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:50,880
they take certain things as practically as good as the

568
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,119
person themselves if it represents like somebody important in their lives.

569
00:37:55,159 --> 00:37:57,840
So I don't know if this is something that maybe

570
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,920
Carl can like use at at some point later to

571
00:38:01,079 --> 00:38:06,960
bargain his and donut safety from Quan, or if it's

572
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,480
the sort of thing that Quan will just it would

573
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,159
be very funny if it's like I think this means

574
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:14,599
so much to him, but it was similar to like Rashaan,

575
00:38:14,679 --> 00:38:17,960
where I just got fat and I couldn't take it off.

576
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,320
It doesn't matter to me. Anymore, but I doubt that

577
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:27,400
it's that. So then we get a notification from Katchya

578
00:38:27,519 --> 00:38:30,400
about how lewis eight monkey soup and got sick. He

579
00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:34,480
rushed into the personal space bathroom before I can stop him,

580
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,599
And it turns out that they have come up with

581
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,800
a system for communicating outside of what can be seen

582
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:51,360
by fans and perhaps by the people who run the game,

583
00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:54,360
because it's in a bathroom, which they don't have cameras

584
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,400
in there. I won't say that I can guarantee they

585
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,559
won't see it. I really possibility that when you open

586
00:39:01,599 --> 00:39:03,239
the door, if it's on the inside of the door,

587
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,119
perhaps a camera could catch a glimpse of the thing

588
00:39:07,159 --> 00:39:12,239
when the door's open for a moment. But it's the uh,

589
00:39:13,039 --> 00:39:18,559
the what do you call it? Author set that he

590
00:39:18,679 --> 00:39:21,920
got that came with like a bottle of ink and

591
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:29,079
the scratch note pad that he has in his inventory.

592
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,639
If he writes on that, the words appear on the

593
00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:38,280
paper in the bathroom. The container sat on a little

594
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,000
shelf I had installed on the inside of the stall, and

595
00:39:41,079 --> 00:39:43,440
both Katcha and Donut knew by now to be careful

596
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,159
when they push the door open. That idiot must have

597
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,679
spilled it because he tries to write Louis a note

598
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,280
that says if you see this, don't say a word,

599
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,519
but instead it says Louis, if you see And that's

600
00:39:55,559 --> 00:39:58,239
as far as he gets, which results in Lewis later

601
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,400
talking about how their bathroom is haunted and Carl manages

602
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,199
to get him to shut the fuck up. But it's

603
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,840
very likely that somebody noticed Lewis talking like this and

604
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,360
has started to get interested and maybe put two and

605
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:18,519
two together and uh, yeah, that just sucks, that really does.

606
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,400
Like that. The ink running out is such a prosaic

607
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:31,280
fucking problem. And let's see, uh, they were not. Let's

608
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:32,880
see he's talking about the bathroom. The main bathroom in

609
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,239
the personal space was like the bathrooms in regular safe rooms.

610
00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:37,000
You wopped in and there was a sink and a

611
00:40:37,039 --> 00:40:39,760
mirror against one wall. The upgraded shower was on one

612
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,199
side in the pink tiled room, and the stall was

613
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,480
on the other. The metal stall door had a lock

614
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:46,480
on it and looked just like any typical bathroom stall

615
00:40:46,519 --> 00:40:50,360
one would find anywhere from before. They were not exclusive

616
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,639
spaces like the random ones throughout the dungeon. Inside the

617
00:40:53,639 --> 00:40:56,480
wide stall, there was a single toilet, a stand up urinal,

618
00:40:56,639 --> 00:40:59,440
and a magical litter box. Mordecai has a shape shifter

619
00:40:59,519 --> 00:41:04,079
apparently didn't ever use the bathroom. Unlike Katya, NPCs couldn't

620
00:41:04,159 --> 00:41:06,079
enter the bathrooms or any of the other rooms like

621
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:08,880
the training room or crafting room without being escorted in.

622
00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:11,960
When the Dromedarian kids needed to go, we sent them

623
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,719
back out into the safe room, or just told them

624
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,280
to hold it if that wasn't possible, like when a

625
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,679
god was outside trashing the world, Katya escorted them in

626
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,159
and removed the paper inking quill before they could see

627
00:41:22,159 --> 00:41:26,639
it and say something out loud. Fellow crawlers were a

628
00:41:26,639 --> 00:41:30,119
different story, and this is you know, they're trying to

629
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,400
keep people out of the bathroom as much as they can,

630
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,960
put them off as much as they can, and him

631
00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:38,320
rushing in there because he got sick, it was just

632
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,840
like unavoidable. They at first had just tried to write

633
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,960
with dry erase marker on the metal of the inside

634
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,239
of the bathroom, but the cleaner bot kept erasing it.

635
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,039
And I just want to register my surprise that the

636
00:41:52,039 --> 00:41:54,760
cleaner body even needs to clean the bathroom, because considering

637
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,760
the fact that those things seemed to be like up

638
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:01,559
kept the same, Like it's I don't know if it's

639
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:03,760
the same now, but there was a point where they

640
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,599
were in a safe room and when Carl went into

641
00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:09,400
that bathroom, or no early in the first one, he

642
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,800
puts the toilet paper and into the toilet bowl, and

643
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,480
when he opens another bathroom, it's got the same toilet

644
00:42:16,519 --> 00:42:18,480
paper in the bowl. So he's like, Okay, it's just

645
00:42:18,519 --> 00:42:22,320
the same bathroom everywhere I go. And I was just

646
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,280
sort of assuming that, like, whatever the bathroom situation is,

647
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,880
that's being like managed by the game and is a

648
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,039
sort of separate thing. But evidently not so the cleaner

649
00:42:32,039 --> 00:42:38,960
bot is coming in here, and you know, Carl says,

650
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,840
why don't you check out the magical shower. You won't

651
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,960
get the buffs, but I think you can still use it.

652
00:42:43,599 --> 00:42:46,280
Lewis uh okay, because he started to be like, you

653
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,119
didn't tell me your bathroom was haunted and he's just

654
00:42:49,199 --> 00:42:53,440
trying to shut him up. And then later on Kotcha

655
00:42:54,039 --> 00:42:56,480
finally manages to get him to shut up, but it's like,

656
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,719
you know, she has to basically like slap him across

657
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,159
the face to get him to stop. He is very

658
00:43:02,199 --> 00:43:05,280
oblivious It's like when somebody is kicking you under the table,

659
00:43:05,519 --> 00:43:08,000
trying to get you to stop saying a thing, and

660
00:43:08,119 --> 00:43:13,360
you don't know, you don't understand that it's a signal

661
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,440
to shut the fuck up, so you're just like, oh,

662
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,639
why are you kicking me? Like that's the vibe I

663
00:43:17,639 --> 00:43:24,639
get off of Lewis. Let's see, Oh right, Carl starts

664
00:43:24,639 --> 00:43:28,480
talking to Himani. We're in the space now. It doesn't

665
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,400
look like we can get to a Desperado club easily,

666
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,800
so you're gonna have to run it. Katchi's coming over

667
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,000
now to help with the coordination. Remind those guys it

668
00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:38,159
has to be quick. How many bubbles are we doing, Imani?

669
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,440
Only eight bubbles have met the requirements. The eighth one

670
00:43:41,519 --> 00:43:44,440
has one crawler in it. It's just over five hundred

671
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,440
crawlers total, and most of them are in the first

672
00:43:46,519 --> 00:43:49,519
four groups. There's several more begging for our help, but

673
00:43:49,559 --> 00:43:53,159
they're gonna have to wait until phase two. In order

674
00:43:53,199 --> 00:43:56,159
for us to help people trapped inside bubbles, they had

675
00:43:56,199 --> 00:43:59,519
to meet a few requirements. First, they needed someone with

676
00:43:59,559 --> 00:44:03,880
asss a Desperado club. Second, all survivors of the bubble

677
00:44:04,039 --> 00:44:08,360
had to be in the same quadrant. The second requirement

678
00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:12,480
was a tough one. We could only feasibly open one

679
00:44:12,559 --> 00:44:16,000
gate per bubble. It meant three of the four castles

680
00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:19,280
had to be taken. Everyone else had to be dead

681
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,920
or some combination. Sometimes people weren't one hundred percent sure

682
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,880
if another quadrant was empty of crawlers, those guys got

683
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,159
put on the standby list. We didn't do it to

684
00:44:29,159 --> 00:44:31,639
be assholes, but we weren't about to unleash a feral

685
00:44:31,679 --> 00:44:35,360
god in a closed bubble filled with crawlers who couldn't escape.

686
00:44:36,679 --> 00:44:40,800
And yeah, the fact that this has to be I mean,

687
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,360
it's just it's just the requirements to get this done

688
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,480
effectively and not hurt people, you know, Like all of

689
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,480
this makes sense, but it's a tough call to have

690
00:44:51,599 --> 00:44:59,480
to make, you know. And Imani is the one who

691
00:44:59,519 --> 00:45:03,280
is just like, I'm not helping anybody if it means

692
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:08,199
that I'm leaving other people behind. And Ellie evidently knows

693
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,239
when people are lying. She's like good at it, And

694
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,199
it's not described as a skill that comes with like

695
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:18,239
her race or anything. It's just said Ellie apparently had

696
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,280
a knack for telling if someone was lying. So I'm

697
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,559
wondering if that's just something that Ellie has always had,

698
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,519
or if it is a side effect and it's not

699
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,519
stated that way, you know, She Katya and Amani were

700
00:45:32,519 --> 00:45:35,360
conducting the interviews at the Desperado and she'd already weeded

701
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,920
a few crawlers out after it was determined they were

702
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:44,519
lying about the populations of their quadrants, and that really sucks. Like,

703
00:45:45,079 --> 00:45:47,239
of course you're gonna run into people who just don't

704
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,400
really give a fuck who else survives, as long as

705
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,280
they survive, and that's just that's just gonna happen. I

706
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,280
won't lie. Maybe I'd be tempted to do that too.

707
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,119
I don't think so, I really don't, but like who knows,

708
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,760
you know, but uh yeah, yeah, it would really suck.

709
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,760
Donut tell them if they try to steal the gate,

710
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,480
Carl will rip their arms off like he did to Kwan,

711
00:46:09,559 --> 00:46:11,400
and they have to go back and forth and explain

712
00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:17,559
about what happened there. The plan was pretty simple. Everyone

713
00:46:17,599 --> 00:46:19,840
in each group had to gather outside the entrance of

714
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,440
the Desperado Club. The person in the first group would

715
00:46:22,519 --> 00:46:25,480
enter and obtain the gate pieces. Once outside, they'd dial

716
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:28,159
in the coordinates provided by Katcha, and the gate would open,

717
00:46:28,559 --> 00:46:30,840
since the distance wasn't that great. The amount of time

718
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,079
was usually less than a minute for the portal to open,

719
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,039
and they'd all go through. They would end up in Humptown.

720
00:46:36,159 --> 00:46:38,360
The gatekeeper would be the last. The moment they went through,

721
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,480
the gate would close, and a paraoh God would appear

722
00:46:40,519 --> 00:46:43,480
in their still closed bubble. While this was happening, the

723
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,039
gatekeeper would return to the Desperado and hand the gate

724
00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:48,280
to the next in line, who would do it all

725
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:53,199
over again, which is a pretty sound system. And this

726
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,239
is like the point where we get eventually like a

727
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,559
description of a god that goes into a bubble and

728
00:46:58,599 --> 00:47:00,960
it's way too small for them, and so the god

729
00:47:01,599 --> 00:47:06,960
is like disgustingly killed and it fills with gore and

730
00:47:07,039 --> 00:47:13,079
makes the whole surrounding area stink horrifically. And there's also

731
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,599
like Mordecai's advice that gods have a tendency to either

732
00:47:16,679 --> 00:47:19,480
fight or start fucking when they encounter each other, and

733
00:47:19,599 --> 00:47:26,599
usually both, Oh my god, So you know, summoning two

734
00:47:26,679 --> 00:47:29,400
gods like that is a good way to distract the

735
00:47:29,519 --> 00:47:33,320
other from coming out and just unleashing destruction on anybody.

736
00:47:36,079 --> 00:47:38,679
So let's see, I'd sent leuis at to escort Katschia

737
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,599
to the Desperado after he and Furist would help wrangle refugees,

738
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,840
and this is when he's like, he blurted out some

739
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,960
things about it being haunted, but Katcha put her hand

740
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,199
on his shoulder and squeeze so hard that even he

741
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,599
finally realized to shut the hell up, considering that she

742
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,400
can basically exert the force of I imagine like a steamroller.

743
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:04,079
That must have been pretty intense. And Carl is just

744
00:48:04,119 --> 00:48:09,199
thinking about all of the NPCs that he is sentencing

745
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,599
to death, and it's telling himself they're better off dead,

746
00:48:11,639 --> 00:48:16,199
we're freeing them, which, like I guess, is probably an

747
00:48:16,199 --> 00:48:19,679
indicator that sending the NPCs through the gate isn't the thing,

748
00:48:20,039 --> 00:48:23,760
the surprise thing that's happening later. But it is just

749
00:48:24,199 --> 00:48:29,639
really it sucks that you can know in a way

750
00:48:29,679 --> 00:48:35,679
that a thing technically is true and it doesn't feel true.

751
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:40,800
You know, it doesn't make it better that this thing

752
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:47,679
has to be done. Just sucks. So Carl had left

753
00:48:47,679 --> 00:48:50,360
his boxes that he had gained from his previous thing

754
00:48:51,079 --> 00:48:54,440
for opening while everybody else was working on this part

755
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:58,960
of the plan, because he cannot be involved because evidently

756
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,639
there's another thing that's happen happening. So he starts looking

757
00:49:02,639 --> 00:49:09,719
at his achievements and boxes now and one of the

758
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:14,239
achievements is a man of God and this isn't actually

759
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,679
a pretty funny one that I enjoyed. And the new

760
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:25,400
achievement disarming personality. Oh my god, sir, sir is me

761
00:49:25,559 --> 00:49:33,039
talking to the AI sir, And then he gets enchanted

762
00:49:33,599 --> 00:49:42,719
handcuffs and they are pretty badass. There's not a key.

763
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,800
You are just the only person who can unlock them,

764
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:52,239
and there you can give, like it a word that

765
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,280
unlocks them, because like initially when it says there's no key,

766
00:49:55,280 --> 00:50:01,719
they're unlocked magically by you, sort of like, okay, that

767
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,199
sounds good, but it could be a problem if you

768
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,559
are not in a position to unlock somebody that needs

769
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:11,639
to be released from them and nobody else can do

770
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,800
it but you. But then it says you may also

771
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,679
institute an optional safe word or phrase that disengages, which

772
00:50:16,679 --> 00:50:20,760
I'm assuming he can tell to anybody and they can

773
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,800
unlock it on his behalf. So that kind of like

774
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:27,559
negates that problem by making it so that it's better

775
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:30,360
than a key, where a key can be stolen from you,

776
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,559
or you can lose it or you know what I mean,

777
00:50:32,639 --> 00:50:35,599
like somebody can sneak it off you, pickpocket you, or whatever.

778
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,119
It's not like people can't find out what the magical

779
00:50:40,159 --> 00:50:42,599
word or phrase is in other ways. So it's not

780
00:50:42,679 --> 00:50:45,679
perfectly safe, but I find that's a big advantage. And

781
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,639
also nobody can break out of them unless they are

782
00:50:48,679 --> 00:50:52,599
at least two hundred strength, which I'm not totally sure

783
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,920
what Carl's strength is at right now with all his

784
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,280
buffs and everything, but I'm feeling like pretty confident it's

785
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,159
not even at a hundred. I may be wrong, but

786
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:07,199
I'm wondering about, like Maggie may Chris, if they are

787
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,840
at two hundred, like could he lock them up with this,

788
00:51:10,639 --> 00:51:13,440
because that's the thing is, like the strength of that

789
00:51:13,639 --> 00:51:16,480
race is really high. So I'm wondering if that's something

790
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,280
that could be because that could be very convenient if

791
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,559
we're trying to do something to them, you know, without

792
00:51:22,639 --> 00:51:29,800
killing them. I don't know. So he gets then a

793
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:37,960
spell called pingu and it's basically said that like anybody

794
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,840
who knows what this is lives in fear of hearing

795
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,519
it an area an area god I sound British an

796
00:51:45,599 --> 00:51:48,800
area of one kilometer around the cast or plus five

797
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:53,239
hundred meters For every ten points of intelligence. Environmental factors

798
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:59,280
and obstacles may increase or decrease range duration. Instantaneous ping

799
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,159
travels at the speed of sound cool down five minutes,

800
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,280
sends out an audible ping that gives the distance and

801
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:14,039
location of all non crawlers and non red tagged mobs

802
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,639
in a circle around you. It will mark targets beyond

803
00:52:18,639 --> 00:52:21,719
the range of your map. Targets hit with ping will

804
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,559
hear an audible ping noise, but they will not know

805
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:29,639
from where the ping originates. Higher levels increases the amount

806
00:52:29,679 --> 00:52:33,800
of information about the target. At level five, you may

807
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:38,440
imbue the ping with fear, which is italicize, which is

808
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:44,679
obviously some sort of other ability, And that is pretty

809
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,400
intense to be able to find, like as he mentions,

810
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,079
not being able to find crawlers or mobs, it's a drawback,

811
00:52:53,719 --> 00:53:02,880
but NPC's elites and hunters really that it's huge And

812
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,960
I'm going to be very interested to see how he

813
00:53:05,079 --> 00:53:09,199
utilizes that spell, because I can't help but think it's

814
00:53:09,199 --> 00:53:13,039
going to be constantly in use. There are some spells

815
00:53:13,079 --> 00:53:14,960
that are just like that once you get them, it's

816
00:53:15,039 --> 00:53:17,840
practically you know, there's a game I'm playing right now

817
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:24,559
and I played it before called Wildflowers. That is, it

818
00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:28,000
was on the Switch on Steam, and I now am

819
00:53:28,039 --> 00:53:31,079
playing it on my iPhone using like this controller that

820
00:53:31,079 --> 00:53:34,679
you attached to your iPhone. And there are certain things

821
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,119
in that that you just like you brew potions to

822
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,599
use to make yourself faster or to make it so

823
00:53:40,639 --> 00:53:43,719
that things just get drawn toward you, and those those

824
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,400
potions wear off and you just have to keep a

825
00:53:47,519 --> 00:53:51,800
constant stock of the ingredients for it all the time,

826
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,079
and it just becomes a main part of your gameplay.

827
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,840
Is like keeping this thing maintained and this spell with it,

828
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:03,440
Like a five minute cool down is so short, you know,

829
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,360
I would think this would be getting used on the

830
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,400
daily if it were longer cool down five minutes. This

831
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,840
is going to get used multiple times a day, I

832
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,440
have to assume. And why would you want to ping

833
00:54:15,639 --> 00:54:19,400
and include fear? What advantage does it really give to? Like,

834
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,039
I imagine that fear is more than just somebody being afraid.

835
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,079
It's got to be something that like causes a d

836
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,800
buff to them of some kind. And I'm very curious

837
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:36,599
about that so yeah, all that is just really it's

838
00:54:36,639 --> 00:54:39,960
it's there's a lot of potential for that that could be.

839
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:46,079
It just I can't even think of the number of

840
00:54:46,679 --> 00:54:55,480
applications for it. So let's see chapter thirty three. Oh right,

841
00:54:55,880 --> 00:55:02,119
really really quick. He gets an update about Louis, who's

842
00:55:02,159 --> 00:55:04,760
helping people come through the gate and how people are

843
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:09,800
like so happy, they're crying, and yeah, I think that

844
00:55:12,119 --> 00:55:19,000
maybe I don't know, guys, I'm so curious. I know

845
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:23,559
that Carl is at the root of this plan because

846
00:55:23,559 --> 00:55:26,559
he's the one who assembled the gate, but I don't

847
00:55:26,599 --> 00:55:31,719
know how much other crawlers are aware at how like

848
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,400
the level of Carl's involvement here, because I keep thinking

849
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,119
about him rehabilitating his public image, you know, and whether

850
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,679
or not things like this are going to warm people

851
00:55:42,679 --> 00:55:45,320
to him. And I know that like the Nightmare thing,

852
00:55:46,079 --> 00:55:48,159
the Nightmare Express, like the whole thing with the train

853
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,440
probably did a lot in that regard as well, but

854
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:56,000
I don't know how effective. We haven't actually heard that

855
00:55:56,079 --> 00:56:00,480
much about the highlights in regard to how he is

856
00:56:00,519 --> 00:56:06,760
being portrayed, So I'm curious about that. But okay, so

857
00:56:07,039 --> 00:56:11,079
I got to speed it up. Thirty three We start

858
00:56:11,079 --> 00:56:14,519
with an entry from Crawler Priestley about Loroccos, which is

859
00:56:14,559 --> 00:56:20,599
that inverted cone city, and he is just marveling at

860
00:56:20,599 --> 00:56:23,039
how unbelievably beautiful it is, and that he thinks that

861
00:56:23,199 --> 00:56:25,760
it has to be based on a real place because

862
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:30,639
it just feels too complete and too genuine, and that

863
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,599
it is so full of culture and life and beauty that,

864
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,960
knowing they are going to destroy it, he's like, I

865
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,559
think it's going to fuck me up pretty bad, which

866
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,239
we find out from Carl that later on there's an

867
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,880
entry from him that's like complete rubbish, you know, it

868
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,360
doesn't make any sense, and it's obvious that this guy

869
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:55,320
was broken by the destruction of this city, and I'm

870
00:56:55,599 --> 00:57:02,079
very interested to see it. So let's see. Oh right,

871
00:57:02,159 --> 00:57:05,039
this is when we get like the reports back about

872
00:57:05,039 --> 00:57:07,199
the bubbles and their effects on the bubbles around them,

873
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:13,280
which have already gone into most of this, and he

874
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:17,239
goes back to the safe room. Mordecai is looking around

875
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,719
at the mess because there's been kids watching all these movies.

876
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,239
They were watching The Last Unicorn, now they're watching the Goonies.

877
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,880
Doughnut remained in her room, glued to the social media board.

878
00:57:28,159 --> 00:57:30,440
Her addiction to the thing was starting to worry me.

879
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,880
She occasionally popped out to complain about someone who said

880
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,239
something mean, but she and Mango were having some much

881
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:40,960
needed alone time, and that is something to worry about.

882
00:57:41,039 --> 00:57:43,599
That's fair enough. I think it's good that she keeps

883
00:57:43,599 --> 00:57:45,880
her eye on it since Carl has been so oblivious.

884
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,320
But you know, it's very easy to get way too

885
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:53,079
wrapped up in social media. I am very guilty of that,

886
00:57:53,239 --> 00:57:55,559
and I have gotten so much better over the past

887
00:57:55,599 --> 00:58:01,079
couple of years at reminding myself like this isn't what matters,

888
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,119
and like making myself back out of it. I don't

889
00:58:04,119 --> 00:58:07,039
even like to say this isn't real, because unfortunately it

890
00:58:07,119 --> 00:58:09,920
is real. What happens on social media actually affects the world.

891
00:58:10,599 --> 00:58:16,480
But I don't need to be contributing to that toxicity,

892
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,920
and I can remove myself from it for my own

893
00:58:20,039 --> 00:58:23,920
sanity and health, and I'm getting better about it. But

894
00:58:24,599 --> 00:58:27,920
their lives literally depend on it, and so her being

895
00:58:28,039 --> 00:58:35,800
hooked to it is really really understandable. And let's see,

896
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,119
Oh right, there's a mention of the recap episode. It

897
00:58:40,119 --> 00:58:42,360
didn't show anything about the gods and the author's quest

898
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,079
or the folks escaping, but it was clear they were

899
00:58:44,079 --> 00:58:47,000
saving it all for the next episode, so evidently there's

900
00:58:47,039 --> 00:58:50,239
nothing about him ripping off what's his face's arm either.

901
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,719
They get an update about after some very careful discussion,

902
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,119
some unfortunate litigation that we want, and with the input

903
00:58:58,199 --> 00:59:00,360
from the syndicate, we've decided to allow this method of

904
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:04,159
bubble escape to continue. However, we've been forced to block some,

905
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,440
but not all, of the secondary summonings. The pharaoh gods

906
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,920
who've been escaping are random and sometimes new even to us.

907
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,159
Each pharaoh who appears has a sixty six percent chance

908
00:59:14,199 --> 00:59:17,599
to summon a corresponding deity. One of the resulting sum

909
00:59:17,599 --> 00:59:20,840
in gods was assaults the Vinegar Bitch, which is an

910
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,880
incredible name. That would have been an extinction level event

911
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:32,119
for this floor and the next. What she can kill

912
00:59:32,159 --> 00:59:42,840
more than one floor? That's fucking bananas? What uh? Anyway,

913
00:59:43,079 --> 00:59:46,000
So congratulations opening that gate will Unlesia Farrell God, but

914
00:59:46,039 --> 00:59:48,159
the odds of summoning an active god in the process

915
00:59:48,239 --> 00:59:55,159
is now much less. And then, since so many of

916
00:59:55,199 --> 00:59:57,519
you are choosing to descend early, we've decided we better

917
00:59:57,559 --> 00:59:59,719
get some six floor info out of the way. And

918
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,440
she talks about how there are classes that might have

919
01:00:03,719 --> 01:00:06,400
new choices that they have to make as they go

920
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,199
into the next floor, and that it's optional for a

921
01:00:10,199 --> 01:00:12,480
lot of folks, but that it is highly recommended to

922
01:00:12,559 --> 01:00:15,840
read the fine print on that. I'm happy to announce

923
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,400
the guild system will become active on the sixth floor.

924
01:00:18,599 --> 01:00:21,039
This will allow you to better organize parties and share

925
01:00:21,079 --> 01:00:24,199
personal space upgrades without forcing a person to join your party,

926
01:00:24,599 --> 01:00:28,880
which is really really great. I'm kind of wondering about

927
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,199
this in regard to Katya, but we look at there.

928
01:00:33,119 --> 01:00:36,760
The process will be a bit expensive, but if you

929
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,800
sell your unwanted gear on the market, it should be

930
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,800
doable for most crawlers. We highly recommend you take advantage

931
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,039
of it. And finally, some of you may have heard

932
01:00:44,039 --> 01:00:46,559
by now third party tourists will be joining us on

933
01:00:46,599 --> 01:00:48,840
the next floor and they'll be hunting you and your gear.

934
01:00:49,079 --> 01:00:53,360
Isn't that exciting. We have a record number of hunters

935
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,719
participating this season thanks to a generous anonymous sponsor who

936
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,880
was willing to pay entry fees for anyone who wanted

937
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:02,440
to join in on the fun, which I have my

938
01:01:02,519 --> 01:01:10,519
guesses on who that is. So let's see, I'm jumping

939
01:01:10,519 --> 01:01:13,320
over to the part where we'd managed to save about

940
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,920
fifteen hundred crawlers total. Nobody had tried to steal the gate,

941
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,800
much to Donut surprise. I wish that number of saved

942
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,920
crawlers was higher, but more and more bubbles were popping

943
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,800
on their own thanks to the work of the survivors inside.

944
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:31,039
A distressing amount of bubbles had gone dark. There were

945
01:01:31,039 --> 01:01:34,239
also bubbles where the people inside had no access to

946
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,679
the Desperado Club or Club Vanquisher, which was still closed

947
01:01:37,679 --> 01:01:41,000
for repairs. It turned out if you destroyed the entry

948
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:45,079
pub to the Desperado or the church for the Vanquisher,

949
01:01:45,239 --> 01:01:48,159
it removed access to the club. For those crawlers, we

950
01:01:48,159 --> 01:01:51,760
could only offer our sympathies and advice. Can you imagine

951
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:57,639
how much that would fucking suck to be in the

952
01:01:57,719 --> 01:02:01,039
course probably of solving one of the other of your bubble,

953
01:02:01,559 --> 01:02:04,599
to have destroyed a way out like that? Oh my god,

954
01:02:04,639 --> 01:02:11,960
I would be so livid and oh sorry. Michael says

955
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,840
I hated the potion part of the Witcher three. I

956
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,239
was happy with the update that handled applying the oils

957
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:21,199
for you. I don't know about that on Michael, It's

958
01:02:21,199 --> 01:02:23,800
honestly so fucking awful. They have the ability to just

959
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,760
make this amazing, real, vibrant city easily since they apparently

960
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,159
resetted every crawl and they just use that power to

961
01:02:29,199 --> 01:02:33,000
do so much good, to provide color for the background

962
01:02:33,039 --> 01:02:35,599
of their little war game. This is the thing. This

963
01:02:35,679 --> 01:02:37,119
is the thing about the real world as well. We

964
01:02:37,159 --> 01:02:39,800
have all the resources to make this place not terrible,

965
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,920
but we put them in these like incredibly fucked up places,

966
01:02:44,519 --> 01:02:48,639
and you know, like for what we could solve world hunger.

967
01:02:48,719 --> 01:02:52,719
There are people who exist right now with the wealth

968
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:57,800
personally to simply end it, and we just don't. They

969
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,800
just don't. And I can't imagine how that resource and

970
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:09,320
not doing it. I just can't what it's so Yeah,

971
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:15,800
So they get back to Humptown, uh, and there's a

972
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:20,199
small crowd of crawlers that are applauding for them, and

973
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,679
Carl is like surprised to see people because he thought

974
01:03:23,719 --> 01:03:27,039
they'd all have gone down the stairs, and Donut has

975
01:03:27,119 --> 01:03:30,320
to be like, you need to stop looking so grumpy

976
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,599
and like wave to these people. They're grateful to us,

977
01:03:32,639 --> 01:03:38,800
would you please play along? And then we actually meet

978
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:44,559
EFFETCHI And I really really loved this this guy is

979
01:03:47,119 --> 01:03:51,480
he is so grateful to Carl, and he is basically like,

980
01:03:53,039 --> 01:03:57,400
ife was so incredible, and when I lost her, I

981
01:03:57,519 --> 01:04:01,679
really was fucking done. And and then I heard about

982
01:04:01,719 --> 01:04:07,119
a dude who put himself at a huge disadvantage to

983
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:11,119
save a bunch of people who couldn't do anything for him,

984
01:04:11,519 --> 01:04:16,960
and I fucking remembered, Oh, if it wasn't the only one.

985
01:04:17,519 --> 01:04:20,760
There are other good people out there who give a shit,

986
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,639
And it was what kept me going. And I really

987
01:04:24,679 --> 01:04:27,719
get this, you know, I really really do. It's like

988
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,480
the equal and opposite of a person like Kwan existing

989
01:04:31,519 --> 01:04:34,960
one person who can really ruin it for everybody, but

990
01:04:35,039 --> 01:04:38,280
also one person who can take it upon themselves to

991
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:42,159
make the world better just because they feel the need,

992
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:47,400
you know. And he winds up going off by himself,

993
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,440
but he basically is like, I owe you one, so

994
01:04:49,599 --> 01:04:54,559
let me know if you need anything. And then we

995
01:04:54,760 --> 01:05:01,400
go to the Desperado Club and it turns out that

996
01:05:01,559 --> 01:05:07,239
Carl got from his fan box the Frogger video game,

997
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:11,840
which he thinks was given to him as a troll gift,

998
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,519
but that he's actually really grateful for because it's like,

999
01:05:14,559 --> 01:05:18,119
weirdly helping him to relax and kind of escape the

1000
01:05:18,159 --> 01:05:24,199
pressure of what's going on right now. We ended up

1001
01:05:24,239 --> 01:05:30,519
performing three more rescues using the gate, and then we

1002
01:05:30,639 --> 01:05:34,360
have this thing with Katya and like, I'm over time

1003
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:37,840
right now, but I'm going to start talking. I think

1004
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,800
that there's gonna be more implications to this in the

1005
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:46,039
next chapters, probably, but Kotcha is essentially she's like, I'm

1006
01:05:46,039 --> 01:05:48,000
not leaving the party yet because I don't want to

1007
01:05:48,039 --> 01:05:54,920
fuck up our personal space. But Eva is out there

1008
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:59,719
and she is trying to reform the daughters, and people

1009
01:05:59,719 --> 01:06:03,440
who have no leader are going to her because they

1010
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,199
have nobody else who will take them in because they're

1011
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:13,719
low level, and she is getting them killed, and somebody

1012
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,760
needs to fucking stop her, Like I need to get

1013
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:21,480
in there and protect them. And I love this the

1014
01:06:21,559 --> 01:06:29,039
idea of after having been treated so badly, that Katchya

1015
01:06:29,119 --> 01:06:32,159
would step in and take the place of Hecla and

1016
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,960
be like, I will help you all, especially because she

1017
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,199
can like literally become a human shield. But I think

1018
01:06:38,239 --> 01:06:41,280
she would prioritize them learning to take care of themselves.

1019
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,000
I don't think she would use the human shield ability

1020
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,400
that she could need that she could often because she

1021
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,480
recognizes now that she's gone through it the importance of

1022
01:06:50,519 --> 01:06:54,280
figuring out your own skill set and how important you

1023
01:06:54,400 --> 01:07:00,519
can be even though you didn't value yourself. So under substandably,

1024
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,480
Donah is super upset and keeps trying to kind of

1025
01:07:04,519 --> 01:07:08,800
like persuade her to stay. Carl realizes that he's been

1026
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:16,039
taking Katya for granted, which yes, true, but he also

1027
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:20,719
is aware that she has made her mind up. You know,

1028
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,320
there's nothing about the way she's telling them this that

1029
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:27,920
indicates that she is uncertain about her next move, and

1030
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:33,440
he seems to agree that this is probably good for

1031
01:07:33,519 --> 01:07:37,199
her and good for other people as well. So I

1032
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,280
really appreciated Carl's outlook here that he is willing to

1033
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,360
acknowledge that he is sorry to see her go and

1034
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,239
that he doesn't want her to go, but also that

1035
01:07:46,079 --> 01:07:47,920
it's not up to him, and this is what she

1036
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:54,599
wants and it's a reasonable request. And you know, Donah

1037
01:07:54,639 --> 01:07:56,400
is sort of like, I get you wanting to protect

1038
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,199
these women, but we could help you with that, and

1039
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,159
Katya is like, no offense, don'tut, but you guys are

1040
01:08:02,199 --> 01:08:06,280
always into some wild shit and I can't be part

1041
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,440
of that and also help these other women because I

1042
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,760
will be drawn into whatever crazy shit you guys are

1043
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:15,920
doing because it's unavoidable. You're like this vortex. And also

1044
01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:18,680
any women that I was helping or that we brought

1045
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:20,680
into the party or whatever would also be pulled into

1046
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,880
that and they're not ready for that. And that is

1047
01:08:24,159 --> 01:08:31,159
completely true. And she tells Carl, like, you helped me

1048
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,239
realize what I'm capable of, so I really thank you

1049
01:08:35,279 --> 01:08:37,920
for that. But also the days that you guys were gone,

1050
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,159
I was able to see that I can do it

1051
01:08:40,199 --> 01:08:42,640
on my own and I'm okay, and it was really

1052
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:46,359
really important for me building my own confidence, and I

1053
01:08:46,399 --> 01:08:52,880
really liked that. And also a boauptista, Lewis and fear Us,

1054
01:08:53,359 --> 01:08:56,359
Gwen and her team, Daniel and a few of his friends,

1055
01:08:56,359 --> 01:08:59,920
and Flora have all agreed to help me. So they're

1056
01:09:00,199 --> 01:09:05,239
to be sizeable group, and I'm interested to see how

1057
01:09:05,359 --> 01:09:09,479
that all develops, because it's basically like you know, that's

1058
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:14,239
we're looking like fifteen people over here with just Donut

1059
01:09:14,279 --> 01:09:18,439
and Carl as their own two party or two group party,

1060
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:24,840
two party party anyway. But I think that this is

1061
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,680
really fair and I am happy for Katya and I'm

1062
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:31,720
looking forward to seeing what she does. And he gives

1063
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:36,239
her back Eva's saber I think it is, and tells

1064
01:09:36,239 --> 01:09:39,640
her to give it back to Eva, And I'm interested

1065
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:43,119
to see also some of that information. I'm wondering if

1066
01:09:43,119 --> 01:09:45,279
we're going to get any update from Katcha via chat,

1067
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,640
or if we're going to actually see it on highlights

1068
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:52,279
or you know how all we're going to get that information,

1069
01:09:55,640 --> 01:10:02,720
and let's see. Once the portal opened, the change things

1070
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:05,199
would return to the sixth floor. The journey of the

1071
01:10:05,239 --> 01:10:08,520
Twister from our bubble to Imani and Ellie's world was

1072
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:12,279
thankfully uneventful. Mordecai insisted the portal would not allow crawler

1073
01:10:12,319 --> 01:10:14,359
passage from floor to floor, even if it was just

1074
01:10:14,399 --> 01:10:16,600
one floor down. So we were sending the Twister through

1075
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:20,399
with the Changelings, but without Lewis and for us. Immediately after,

1076
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,680
they were going to go through the regular stairwell, where

1077
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:26,159
hopefully they'd be able to recover the Flying House, which

1078
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,319
is a really cool idea. I really like that as

1079
01:10:29,359 --> 01:10:33,439
a means of bringing tools over. I'm so curious if

1080
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:37,039
that's going to work. I hope it does. And then

1081
01:10:37,079 --> 01:10:39,399
with the gate back in our possession, we'd implement the

1082
01:10:39,399 --> 01:10:44,640
final phase and I'm extremely interested in that. Lee June

1083
01:10:45,199 --> 01:10:49,319
gets in touch with Carl and is talking about the

1084
01:10:49,359 --> 01:10:52,520
tentacle monster and the Agatha is there. Don't know where

1085
01:10:52,520 --> 01:11:00,359
she came from, but she's only level twelve. Interesting, let's

1086
01:11:00,399 --> 01:11:02,520
see Immani and Ellie rushed into the club. They both

1087
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:06,680
looked exhausted. Kachya walked up to Ellie and gave the

1088
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,760
floating woman a long hug. You guys be careful, okay,

1089
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,199
we always are, Ellie said. She gave me a little

1090
01:11:13,239 --> 01:11:15,880
wink and patted Donut on the head. I'm looking forward

1091
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:17,640
to being able to mix it up with you guys again.

1092
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,560
This floor was a real drag having to do it

1093
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:22,920
all by myself. She says this right in front of Amani,

1094
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:29,479
and Amani doesn't even respond. Ellie, come now, ma'am. Ellie

1095
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:31,920
pulled the three gate pieces from her inventory and handed

1096
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,920
them to me. I took the three items and pulled

1097
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,920
them into my inventory. I turned to Katya. She had

1098
01:11:37,039 --> 01:11:39,319
entered the Desperado on the ground level and this was

1099
01:11:39,319 --> 01:11:41,920
where we were going to separate. I pulled her into

1100
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,720
a tight hug. Donut was suddenly there on my shoulder,

1101
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:48,279
also rubbing up against Katya. Kotcha wrapped her arms around me,

1102
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,039
widening them like the flaps on a sting ray, hugging

1103
01:11:51,119 --> 01:11:53,640
us so completely it felt as if I was being

1104
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,279
wrapped up like a burrito. This would be the last

1105
01:11:56,319 --> 01:11:58,960
time we were together on this floor. We stood like

1106
01:11:59,039 --> 01:12:05,199
that for several moments. Phase four had officially begun. So

1107
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:08,359
next section is the end of this book, y'all. I

1108
01:12:08,399 --> 01:12:12,239
have got to wrap up. I'm way over but looking

1109
01:12:12,279 --> 01:12:16,880
forward to seeing what's happening, so I will be eager

1110
01:12:17,319 --> 01:12:19,880
to finish this one up. Thank you guys again for

1111
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:21,720
hanging out with me, and thank you to Michael for

1112
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:56,239
commissioning this one. Until next time, tutalu, motherfuckers. That was
