00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:07,879
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me

2
00:00:08,759 --> 00:00:15,480
covering Dungeon Crawler Carl Book six, The Eye of the

3
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:21,440
bedlam Bride, chapters sixty five through sixty nine. Nice also

4
00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:24,480
kind of also sixty four, but I talked of a

5
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:47,439
lot about sixty four. Already. Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome

6
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,240
to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very

7
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:54,600
much to Michael for commissioning this episode. Michael is here

8
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,640
in the chat with me. Thank you Michael for being here.

9
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:00,600
And Sarah Fem and Jeff are also here. Lighted to

10
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,519
have a little crowd. So yeah, I talked a lot

11
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,560
about many things that came up in sixty five last

12
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,079
or sixty four last episode, even though I wasn't totally

13
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,719
able to go into it because I wound up running

14
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:19,920
out of time. I ran out of time despite going

15
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:27,319
way over time. So we have the moment with Katcya

16
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:31,040
that I had mentioned where Carl notices that she is

17
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:35,680
trembling and that it's not fear. It's obviously to do

18
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,760
with her like going through this detoxing. She still hasn't

19
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:44,120
been able to undergo that, like revisit your worst memory

20
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:47,840
thing that Mordecai has talked about being a cure for

21
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,680
one of those particularly vicious I guess is the word

22
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:57,599
I want drugs. So Mordecai is still continuing to make

23
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:01,400
her potions. Imani is continuing to like buff her health

24
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,120
and just get her through. But I am definitely really

25
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:13,080
concerned about her overall, because, like, it's not the thing

26
00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:18,960
about this is that the process of going into one

27
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,159
of her worst memories, Katcha, seems like somebody who might

28
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,879
be like afraid to do that to a degree that

29
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,520
she would be willing to put up with feeling like

30
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:35,680
this and dealing with things this way, do you know

31
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,919
what I mean? She obviously has a lot of shit

32
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,159
in her past that she hasn't dealt with, and I

33
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:47,360
am concerned that she is going to keep insisting that

34
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,560
she can do it without whatever that I keep thinking

35
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:55,759
of it kind of like exposure therapy, even though that's

36
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,680
not technically correct. And I just hope that we get

37
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,680
to a point where she is able to go through

38
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:06,199
with this. It's just like that sounds as if it's

39
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:09,800
going to take some downtime, and we are real sure

40
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:18,120
on downtime in this game most of the time. I

41
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:25,800
just worry about that whole thing. And there's also the

42
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,840
relationship with Bautista, which isn't going great. We don't see

43
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:34,719
them like together the same way that we had seen them,

44
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:36,840
and I don't believe that they have split up, but

45
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:39,840
obviously there is a lot of tension going on there.

46
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:44,000
And she says to Carl that Batista doesn't want her

47
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,400
using the orchid, and Carl's like, yeah, I kind of

48
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:49,759
agree with him. Honestly, the more I think about it,

49
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,800
the more I think it's a bad idea. It just

50
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,159
seems like sending you there all alone is a recipe

51
00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:59,599
to get you killed, or you know. It's just something

52
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:06,560
about this feels like it's a really it's a trap,

53
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,719
or it's at least like something that can be used

54
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:12,960
to create a trap. And she's like, but if I

55
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,600
don't use it, then what like, we also went through

56
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:20,399
all of these hoops to actually get our hands on

57
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:23,639
it and then to not use it, which I think

58
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,199
we will find a potentially other way for her to

59
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,199
do what she needs to do, and maybe another means

60
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,560
of using the orchid. I could see even giving it

61
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,319
to someone else somehow, but we'll see. This is also

62
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,759
after this little conversation is the point where they give

63
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,480
don Quixote the UH sock full of Nickels, which is

64
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,360
apparently a sapient weapon that's possessed with the equivalent of

65
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Ebenezer Scrooge. And as soon as he gets given it,

66
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,279
first of all, he knows that this is a high

67
00:04:57,319 --> 00:05:00,560
level weapon and is real excited. But secondly, it starts

68
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,040
talking to him about how much money he makes and

69
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:05,399
does he put any of it into mutual funds? And

70
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:13,160
I found that very funny. So there's also it's not

71
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:17,120
just in this book, but it's also in Vorkos again,

72
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,079
which I'm covering. There have been a few times these

73
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,360
audiobook narrators for both are very good. This, I would

74
00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:28,240
argue is a superior narrator to Vorkos. Again, but he's

75
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,279
still good. But more often than usual, I have been

76
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,360
runging cross sentences that I feel the narrator is using

77
00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:40,160
the wrong intonation for what is supposed to be going

78
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,560
on here. And at this point, when he looks into

79
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,079
his inventory and looks at the UH the description for

80
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:52,480
the sock full of Nichols, he thinks, what the hell

81
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:55,759
and pulls it out of his inventory. But the way

82
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,560
the narrator does it is like, what the hell? And

83
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,680
I was like, no, no, no, that's not it. He's thinking, yeah,

84
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,680
why not, I'll give it to this guy, you know.

85
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,639
And this kind of kept happening in this book and

86
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,600
the other book in a way that doesn't often happen,

87
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,439
and it was weird for both of them to have

88
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:15,680
this crop up more than once in the section that

89
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:23,240
I was reading. And Prepotente at this point also gets

90
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,279
in touch with Carl and he says, I thought about

91
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:30,720
it a long time, and I decided that I'm not

92
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:35,000
going to take revenge on you because I've decided you

93
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:38,040
were too stupid to stop my mother from hurting herself,

94
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,480
which it says I tried not to let the sarcasm

95
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,240
show in my response. That's a relief, thanks, Pony. I

96
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,920
don't think you should be sarcastic in that moment. Carl,

97
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,240
I was genuinely worried, and Prepatente is fucking powerful and smart.

98
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,800
I think you should genuinely count your fucking blessings. Actually,

99
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,079
I think he was very cavalier about this in a

100
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,040
way that I wouldn't have been because it has been

101
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:11,079
low key on my mind. I haven't been super worried,

102
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:15,000
but it has you know, every time Prepotente pops up,

103
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,600
I have been a little like, ooh, you know, so

104
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:22,519
I just don't understand why he's just like that's a relief,

105
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:26,000
like he had nothing to worry about. I wouldn't want

106
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,360
to go up against Prepertente? Are you kidding me? Like,

107
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:30,560
I don't know it just said. It seemed to me

108
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:36,480
like Carl really either didn't understand the danger, hadn't really

109
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,399
thought it through, or just felt like I have enough

110
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:41,160
on my play I don't need to be worrying about

111
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,519
this too. But still, I just I felt like he

112
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,600
had the wrong attitude about this. It's just really surprising

113
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,399
to me that Carl doesn't seem to see this, because

114
00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:54,879
I thought that he had come to a point where

115
00:07:54,879 --> 00:08:00,120
he was understanding Prepotente's potential and his abilities, you know,

116
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:04,759
like bro is nobody to fuck with. And there's also

117
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,279
the possibility. I don't necessarily think that there's more than

118
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:11,399
one anarchist cookbook, but it does feel like Prepotente has

119
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:14,680
some kind of access to some information as well that

120
00:08:14,759 --> 00:08:18,639
he shouldn't have the same way Carl does. Maybe coming

121
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,920
from outside the dungeon, maybe a tool that's within the dungeon,

122
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:27,079
that's hidden, So I think that he is probably that

123
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,480
Prepotente is the biggest threat other than maybe lucium Mar

124
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:34,399
and Luciumar. The fact that she kind of goes back

125
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,360
and forth in personalities makes me think that there's a

126
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:41,759
possibility that's a chink in her armor that we can

127
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,759
drive a wedge into. And you know, Prepotente I'd be

128
00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:49,159
more worried about. He's, in my opinion, out of everybody

129
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,159
in the dungeon other than Carl, the one that feels

130
00:08:53,200 --> 00:09:00,240
the most the most intimidating, other than Luciumar, who her

131
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,320
madness sort of it doesn't exactly negate that. It just

132
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:08,360
sort of is a double edged sword where it's both

133
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:12,480
intimidating and a weakness on her part, and you know,

134
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:19,159
it could go either way. So anyway, Oh sorry, I'm

135
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:22,039
just looking at the chat. And Michael says, honestly, that

136
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,240
should be a huge relief to Karl exactly. Sarah Faim says, yeah,

137
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:27,679
Prepotente is in a three way tie with Carl and

138
00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:31,000
LUCMR for most terrifying person in the dungeon. Michael says,

139
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,320
PREPOTENTI would absolutely kill Carl and Carl wouldn't realize what

140
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,360
was happening until he was dead, exactly because of the

141
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,759
way his powers work. Like that's so scary to me,

142
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,039
Jeff says, stuff like this reminds me of the one

143
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:42,919
time I thought someone was being all look at me

144
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,960
and it turned out their friend had died and I

145
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,679
felt so bad. You'd think Carl would be more sensitive.

146
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,320
It's like, it's not even about sensitivity. To me, I

147
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,759
feel like sensitivity would be a lovely thing, but it's

148
00:09:56,799 --> 00:09:59,840
not even something that I am that worried about right now.

149
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,360
It's just look at the facts, look at the survival rates,

150
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,720
and look at what Prepotente has done, look at what

151
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:08,720
where he is in the rankings. You know, like, just

152
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,759
use your head, dude. You shouldn't be so dismissive. It's

153
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:16,679
dangerous for you. You know, sensitivity is lovely, but it's not

154
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,759
a life or death thing. It's pay attention. How are

155
00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:23,600
we all able to see this, Carl, and you seem

156
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:29,679
to be like completely unaware of it. So sixty five begins,

157
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:34,039
and Tona is going to be putting herself in a

158
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,960
position where she's using this minion army spell which makes

159
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,320
her freeze up for a full five minutes, I think,

160
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,000
so she's super vulnerable while it casts because it takes

161
00:10:47,039 --> 00:10:51,480
that long, and later on she does get experience from it,

162
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:55,440
and it does wind up doing something. But Ellie's spell

163
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,919
is so bonkers that in some ways it utterly overshad

164
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,600
what Donut did. But uh, we have this like moment

165
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:08,039
where Ellie says, it the thing you're talking about. It

166
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,320
only works on intelligent moms, and zombies aren't smart, and

167
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:15,799
Carl has to be like, they're demon zombies. That's a

168
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:22,080
different thing. So yeah, they're definitely intelligent. They count. So

169
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,559
Donut begins her spell and uh, he says, as soon

170
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,639
as it casts, all hell is going to break loose

171
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:32,840
and the assault team will move as soon as we

172
00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:34,279
say the word. The rest of you need to get

173
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,960
to work. We need you to keep them from coming

174
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,799
up behind us. But only weighed in there if it's

175
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,000
absolutely necessary ranged attacks only. I'm counting on you splash

176
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,679
zone to help keep them safe. Slug Alos, God damn it,

177
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,039
where the fuck are the slug alos and they have

178
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,519
just decided to launch in. Louis says they're doing a

179
00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:01,000
Lee Roy and there's a dot dot dot and Carl says,

180
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,799
don't even say it. God damn it. I do not

181
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,000
know what this is in reference to I'm assuming a

182
00:12:07,039 --> 00:12:10,159
song title. I'm assuming this is, like you know, but

183
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:13,000
I am not aware of it. So I just wanted

184
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,480
to mention it in case somebody else knows what this

185
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:23,840
is and let's see saravranceays all three are both dangerous

186
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,240
and unpredictable, Lucia because she's so unstable, Carl because he

187
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,480
will do the most insane shit no one would ever consider.

188
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:31,799
Pony because he will wait and plan to take you down.

189
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:34,919
Michael says, I haven't had time yet to readjust the coverage,

190
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,600
but feel free to slop over anything you can't cover

191
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,120
to the next episodes if needed until I do. Okay,

192
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:45,200
cool beans, never say a slopover to me again, though,

193
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:53,639
So the fucking Slugglows. Not only do they like decide

194
00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:56,799
to launch in there and have apparently no real effect,

195
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,440
but then they begin to retreat and draw every buddy

196
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:06,240
beck in the direction of our people, which is there.

197
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:11,879
It's not that they are useless, It's simply that what

198
00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:19,399
they are good for is very specialized. A few had

199
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,320
other weapons like knives and baseball bats covered in barbed wire.

200
00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:26,639
One had a cylindrical metal mace thing attached to the

201
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,720
end of his body, and he was spinning like a

202
00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:32,440
spasming dog chasing his own tail. He was hitting more

203
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,960
of his own people than demons. It was goddamn weird.

204
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:39,600
And Louis says, if we get a few thousand more

205
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,240
of these guys, we could win the war on the

206
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:45,320
first day. And I was like, could you because they

207
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,720
don't sound very effective right now, money, I don't know.

208
00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:55,480
I don't know, Seraphim says World of Warcraft meme Lee

209
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,759
Roy Jenkins don't know. It pretty much became the nomadic

210
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:02,519
and bodiment of the one demos who ruins the party's

211
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:08,240
plans by just running in with no idea what's going on? Okay,

212
00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:13,000
it's uh so that it's like the player equivalent of like,

213
00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:18,559
goddamn it, Moon Moon, right, Jeff says Saraphim. I was thinking,

214
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,200
how do you explain this succinctly? Yeah, memes do be

215
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:28,440
like that, though. So this is when Ellie says, it's

216
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:31,480
my turn, everyone stand back. The spell has a one

217
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:35,240
week cool down, which is bonkers, but I guess I

218
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,399
gotta use it now. Don't know if this is going

219
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:43,759
to make things better or worse. And this the Slugglows

220
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:47,399
are still on their way back, starting to like bash

221
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:53,840
into shit, and the bike went tumbling the back passenger compartment,

222
00:14:53,919 --> 00:14:57,080
smashing through Donut like she was made of steel. She

223
00:14:57,279 --> 00:14:59,759
remained in place, now floating a foot off the ground.

224
00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:05,120
She'd taken some damage. Mango roared in outrage. The slug paused,

225
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,919
looking up at Amani. Oh, hey, three one three, did

226
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:11,679
you see that? Shit fucking epic? He resumed his retreat.

227
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,679
Don't know what three to one three is either. I

228
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:20,799
have to assume this is something. So this is groppel

229
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,919
Gropel that Ellie is casting. And as she does it,

230
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,159
she's getting a notification and the light around her is

231
00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:32,159
getting really bright and she's like, guys, guys, be careful.

232
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:34,960
Oh my god. Oh, it's casting way more powerful than

233
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:41,639
it normally does. There's a clap of thunder death rained

234
00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:44,120
from above. In a wide area in front of us.

235
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,480
Fist sized chunks of ice pelted down from the heavens,

236
00:15:47,559 --> 00:15:52,679
temporarily blocking out the burning sky. Steam and smoke filled

237
00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:55,879
the entire area. As the storm rolled through, the black

238
00:15:55,919 --> 00:15:58,240
ass fall in front of the alley started to explode

239
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:02,200
with each impact behind me approaching Demon's more cries rose,

240
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,200
but they were quickly drowned out. The ground rumbled like

241
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:11,840
an earthquake. Ellie remained in place as level notifications pinged over.

242
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:17,480
She'd risen six levels at once, and as soon as

243
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:22,080
Dona unfreezes, it just says combat complete deck has been reset.

244
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:26,879
And she's just like, wait, hold on, what the fuck?

245
00:16:29,919 --> 00:16:36,879
And Carl is thinking, Samantha maybe did something. And Samantha

246
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,200
herself does seem a little bit flipped out, and she's

247
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,679
like talking to herself. Ellie is part earth, part water made.

248
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:49,279
She's on the fourth four Seasons path. I but how

249
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,799
did that happen? I am stronger too. I didn't do that.

250
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:56,200
It's the tree, I think, or maybe it's all there.

251
00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:58,919
He's opening a path through the river, the water and

252
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,000
the tree, the earth. It's good. She's not fire yet,

253
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,839
but maybe the princess spell and Hanster no, no, got

254
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:08,359
a killer? No, not Ellie her mother? No, not her mother?

255
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:14,640
What in the hell is happening? What is she talking about?

256
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:20,079
What is going on? What? What? And when she says

257
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:26,119
not Ellie her mother, no, not her mother? Who's whose mother?

258
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,880
Is it a goddess, is it like, I just no idea,

259
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:39,799
no idea. So everything out there has is like red

260
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:45,160
ex'es just corpses. It was it laid waste to everyone.

261
00:17:46,079 --> 00:17:49,799
And then Doughnut starts to get pissed, but Ellie points

262
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:53,839
out the tornado of demon birds and bats remains circling

263
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,160
the top of the building high above. They'd apparently been

264
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,559
out of range of the Groppel spell. Donuts spell had

265
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:03,119
included the lower area of the bird formation, and it

266
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,480
was clear several of them were now fighting each other.

267
00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:11,039
Bodies started to hail down from the sky. So yeah,

268
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,039
she is getting some experience. It's not necessarily as much

269
00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:16,240
as she was hoping for, but it's something. It didn't

270
00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:22,559
totally negate what she did. So they go heading towards

271
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:27,640
because like the place that they believe in as this

272
00:18:27,759 --> 00:18:31,680
hold up, is this like apartment building, Like it's a

273
00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:34,079
I want to say, a skyscraper. I'm not sure if

274
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:37,160
it's like quite that tall necessarily, but it's certainly like

275
00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:39,680
much taller than most of the buildings around here. It

276
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:46,039
seems like everybody, including the strippers, remained outside, but they

277
00:18:46,039 --> 00:18:48,480
would soon come in the same lobby on my direction.

278
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,000
They would remain here and protect our exit. In the

279
00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:53,559
unlikely event we took the stairs back down to get out.

280
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,440
Tran and Brittany, who were both on conscious squad, would

281
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,920
also follow, but remain in the stairwell in case anybody

282
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,559
got past them. The Slugglows were all gone, having run

283
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:05,799
back into the city. I knew if this was during

284
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:08,480
the real Faction Wars, I could go into my Warlord

285
00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:11,160
menu and force them back in the line. That was

286
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,880
something Priestly and several other cookbook authors who came before

287
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,640
me didn't know about the conscript spell, and that is interesting.

288
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,880
I uh, I, you know, I know that they can

289
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,160
only keep so many creatures on their side. I don't

290
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,680
know how the Sluggalos factor into this, you know, because

291
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:37,640
it's like they're they're not totems, and but they weren't

292
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,960
born of Carl's body, and I don't know if that matters.

293
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,440
They're just I don't know, I don't know how that

294
00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:49,960
the rules work on this. So they reached the stairs.

295
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,160
Donut is like, I am not doing the stairs. We

296
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,640
are doing the elevator, and Katcha is like, yet, no,

297
00:19:54,799 --> 00:20:00,200
you're not, We're taking the fucking stairs. Yeah, Donut I

298
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,279
get it. I wouldn't want to take the stairs either,

299
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,640
but you are in an enhanced body that can handle it.

300
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:11,880
And also no, just no. So they get to the

301
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,680
thirty second floor. I think when you say thirty second floor,

302
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:18,000
you're in skyscraper territory. I feel like that's fair right.

303
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,519
And Inez is still there, still hasn't moved inz oh boy,

304
00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:30,799
we will get there in a second. Let's see. It

305
00:20:30,839 --> 00:20:33,400
would break it out of control of if sister and

306
00:20:33,559 --> 00:20:36,160
is if we absolutely had to do it this way, though,

307
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,480
in order to do this properly, we needed to kill

308
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:42,359
the nun first. Both Mordecai and I feared if we

309
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,279
didn't kill her before the demon was freed, the first

310
00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:47,400
thing the full powered demon would do would be the

311
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,880
sec revenge and torch the entire building with us still inside,

312
00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:53,240
which it turns out this is something that we need

313
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:58,839
to worry about anyway, and we aren't quite realizing exactly

314
00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:06,279
what's happening here. So what Carl wants to do as

315
00:21:06,319 --> 00:21:09,440
well with the snake is have this robot that has

316
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,319
both a portal trap and the receiving trap on it,

317
00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:18,799
which he is hoping will free it from the control

318
00:21:19,519 --> 00:21:25,960
of assaults without actually teleporting it anywhere, it will basically

319
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:32,319
just stay in place. This winds up working in the

320
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,759
fact that it doesn't really go anywhere, but in a

321
00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:41,160
way that really fucking sucks and also does not free

322
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,160
the snake, free the god, the demon trapped in the

323
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,720
snake from assaults control. So it's pretty much like the

324
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:57,799
worst of all worlds on that front. So let's see.

325
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,559
I pulled my new Nighty Night wand open the door

326
00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:04,359
to reveal a glowing cistern is running full tilt down

327
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,359
the hallway directly at us, screaming center at the top

328
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,640
of her lungs. She was already too close. Yeah, I

329
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,160
zapped my wand and she instantly went unconscious. She dropped

330
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,680
and slid, coming to a stop at my feet. A

331
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,200
two minute timer appeared above her, and I love it,

332
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:27,680
says combat started in the text, but I really want

333
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:34,359
to get across the audiobook narrator goes combat started with this,

334
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:42,960
like uncertain I began to realize that part of what

335
00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:47,640
I really enjoy about the audiobook narrator is there's almost

336
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,200
an editorial quality to the way that he delivers a

337
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,200
lot of the lines. And I can't tell if this

338
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,359
is like at if it's due to direction, if it's

339
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,599
his own decision due to the context, or if the

340
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:09,400
author has like, you know, kind of given him a vibe,

341
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,119
if they've talked about things first. I don't know, but

342
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,559
I would love to talk to him about this because

343
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,240
it's not written in any way that would indicate delivery.

344
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,920
That sounds like that, and it works excellently. I thought

345
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,240
it was very funny, but it's just surprising to me

346
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,160
once I see it in text right now that there's nothing.

347
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,640
It just has combat started in bold and that's it.

348
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,759
So yeah, it's uh, it's funny. So at this point,

349
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,079
Carl's like, all right, well, I guess we'll kill her,

350
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:49,960
and Louis just immediately is like, dude, let me do it.

351
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,799
I already have player killer skulls and you don't want

352
00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:55,039
to break that seal, so hold on. And he just

353
00:23:55,079 --> 00:23:58,039
pulls out a knife and he says, sorry, kat lady,

354
00:23:58,079 --> 00:23:59,680
I never met you, but you need to go if

355
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,440
we want to save everybody else, and he just stabs

356
00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:05,599
Or in the heart. And I have got to say

357
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:11,000
I found this weirdly touching. It was both the fact

358
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:13,480
that Louie is trying to save them from having these

359
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,440
player killer skulls. It's the fact that he apologizes, and

360
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:21,119
of course we know he really means it. He doesn't

361
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,680
want to be doing this. It's the reasoning being on

362
00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:30,839
like for the good of everyone else. It's a really

363
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:35,680
compassionate moment on so many different levels. And you know,

364
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:37,960
I've liked Louis, but this was a moment where my

365
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,359
respect for him really went up a lot, and it

366
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:47,079
just felt like he was really shouldering something so that

367
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,480
Carl didn't have to in a way that I think

368
00:24:50,599 --> 00:24:54,359
matters even more than he realizes at the time, you know.

369
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,759
So the thing that we don't realize is going to

370
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:03,640
happen is that he is going to be marked for

371
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:12,319
death because she was the barred, the celestial patron of

372
00:25:12,759 --> 00:25:18,640
Sister Inez was the goddess Salty and salts Saltsy. I

373
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:24,400
don't know, I'm gonna say assault she evidently being like

374
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:27,440
the patron. It's not the same as worships. So this

375
00:25:27,559 --> 00:25:34,200
is something that Inez would be okay with, I guess.

376
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:40,359
And chapter sixty six opens with her appearing in the hallway,

377
00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:44,839
the music changing to something that's weirdly kind of slow

378
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:53,160
and atmospheric more than anything, and she gives the effect

379
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,920
all potions you quaff or physically handle outside your inventory

380
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
will turn to vinegar. They will return to a more

381
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:07,039
powerful version of themselves upon her banishment, which is interesting.

382
00:26:09,319 --> 00:26:13,000
She is level two hundred and fifty sponsored by the

383
00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:18,200
pontifect shine of the nebular balance. Warning, this sponsor is

384
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,720
not currently inhabiting the shell of this deity. She will

385
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:24,200
speak and react as per her regular nature. Considering who

386
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,359
this is. That's some bad fucking news for you, guys. Warning,

387
00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:34,720
this is a deity. She is invulnerable on this floor,

388
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:48,240
is she? That's interesting. I don't believe you, but you

389
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:53,960
know at the time, at the time, I believed. But

390
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,680
some things are Apparently we don't need to worry about

391
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:05,880
rules the way we used to, which is worrying interesting

392
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:12,319
concerning I have a lot of questions. I really don't

393
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:18,839
know what is going on here. So we get some

394
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:25,920
backstory on her, and I'll just mention her downfall mirror

395
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,759
is that of the citizens of Lroccos. That's what happens

396
00:27:28,759 --> 00:27:31,319
when everything you know is upended and everything is taken

397
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,599
from you. First they vilify you, then they separate you,

398
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,640
then they blame you for what they're doing to you.

399
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:40,799
Then they hunt you. It's a step after that which

400
00:27:40,839 --> 00:27:44,039
is important, the one where they start to fear you.

401
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,240
And this feels very personal. This does not feel like

402
00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:50,039
just commentary on her. This feels like the Ai making

403
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:58,079
some statements here. And the story is long and a

404
00:27:58,079 --> 00:28:00,519
little sad at this point how it became and isn't

405
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:04,160
as important as how it will end. She is half

406
00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:08,279
sister and niece to her former lover taranis threatened with

407
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,680
the nothing by Apedo, she fled to Shale. She has

408
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,359
since returned to the halls of Ascendancy, where she is

409
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:21,759
feared and reviled by all. So she is a dwarf,

410
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:27,200
a regular sized dwarf with a weird flickering quality to

411
00:28:27,319 --> 00:28:33,799
her face that shows a scream in between this kindly

412
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:39,799
sort of like very mild expression that she's wearing. And

413
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:45,720
she looks at Louis and says, you killed my bard.

414
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,480
Her mind is at ease, which is a blessing, but

415
00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:51,000
I was not done with her yet, and for that

416
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:58,839
you must suffer. And Samantha plays interference here on behalf

417
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,480
of Louis, and just immediately he's like, oh my god, girl, hey,

418
00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:07,000
oh we haven't seen each other in soul long, what

419
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,680
is happening with you anyway? And then in the chat

420
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,200
it's just like, Louie, get the fuck out of here,

421
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,920
get out now, and he does indeed slowly back down

422
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,680
the stairs. This distraction works. I was really worried that

423
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,160
Samantha was going to do something to make a Salty

424
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:30,119
even more angry at Louie. But Samantha, it turns out,

425
00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:33,720
has insulted a Salty in the past, so she's actually

426
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:36,880
kind of a perfect distraction because all of her ire

427
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:42,599
gets directed at Samantha and he is able to get away,

428
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,519
which I just was so delighted to see Samantha actually

429
00:29:47,559 --> 00:29:51,119
get to do something that like was her own volition

430
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,759
for something that she cared about, specifically for personal reasons.

431
00:29:56,039 --> 00:29:59,160
To see that succeed. It just feels like she has

432
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:04,680
been such an endless fuck up without necessarily even being

433
00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:08,839
about her failing to obey direction, you know, like she

434
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,160
bites down on Inez and draws Inez and the snake

435
00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:16,599
and the whole beach full of fucking like demon infested

436
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,359
zombies with her. It doesn't seem like that was her fault.

437
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,440
It seems like she didn't know that she could do that,

438
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:26,640
so it's like she's fucking up, but it's not always

439
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,799
her fault. There are certainly times where she just doesn't

440
00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:32,359
listen to instruction, but those are getting rarer. It feels

441
00:30:32,359 --> 00:30:36,359
like she is actually willing to cooperate much more than

442
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,440
she was able to before. So anyway, this is just

443
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,960
I just really liked this moment, and especially because Louise's

444
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:48,039
compassion in deciding to be the one to kill Sister

445
00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:52,960
Inez himself. It feels like he's getting rewarded here. We're

446
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,480
getting to I don't know if he'll make it out,

447
00:30:55,839 --> 00:31:00,119
you know, but at the very least, for now we

448
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:10,440
are okay. So then we have this weird moment. Everything froze.

449
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,119
The ceiling at the end of the hall collapsed, and

450
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,559
the coils of the Madre DIAGOA snake slurped into the

451
00:31:16,599 --> 00:31:19,200
hall from above. It was like it had tipped off

452
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:25,319
the main roof and landed above us. Everything gets kind

453
00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:28,200
of pulled away so that they're suddenly basically on like

454
00:31:28,599 --> 00:31:31,680
the roof. They're not, but it's like every other part

455
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,400
of the building is yanked away, and this is the

456
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:45,160
snake like lands there is this this the tail doesn't

457
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,039
land like enough on the building, so it gets pulled off.

458
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,839
But then the teleportation thing, the bot lands on him,

459
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:55,240
and Carl is seeing this and it's just like, oh,

460
00:31:55,519 --> 00:32:01,920
calm on. The full power version of Amon stood to

461
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,759
his full height feet on the street, standing before the

462
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:08,920
building with the lopped off top facing us. We stood

463
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,960
upon the thirty second floor turned roof of the building

464
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,279
and we were about equal with the chest of the demon,

465
00:32:14,319 --> 00:32:19,640
who now glared down at us. And he's still enslaved.

466
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,680
So yeah, he's like out of the body, which you know,

467
00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:25,680
this is not great for us. We wanted him to

468
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:32,319
be freed. So then we get quest complete where the

469
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,039
sidewalk ends. Please wait, and it's not again mentioned in

470
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:40,519
the text, but in the audio book. After he says

471
00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:48,200
please wait, we basically get like we get like hold

472
00:32:48,359 --> 00:32:54,359
music for probably about fifteen seconds, and then new quest

473
00:32:54,559 --> 00:33:02,920
the missing piece. So she wants to keep him under

474
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,720
her control and bring her with him to the ascendancy.

475
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,480
He wants to go home. She will return to the

476
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,559
realm in ten minutes. If Ameon remains fully under her control,

477
00:33:11,599 --> 00:33:15,160
they will both teleport away. If that happens, everyone without

478
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,559
keys is dead. There will be no more chances. In

479
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,759
order to break free, Mim must begin casting his spell

480
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:24,400
to return home. In order to do that, he must

481
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,240
be strong enough to cast it. How will he be

482
00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:30,680
given that strength? Maybe you should ask him. If he

483
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,160
has broken free from her control by the time the

484
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,839
timer runs out, she will leave and he will remain

485
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,319
and will eventually travel home. The stronger he is by

486
00:33:39,359 --> 00:33:41,720
the time the timer runs out, the bigger the spell

487
00:33:41,759 --> 00:33:44,039
will have to be. If he is at full power,

488
00:33:44,079 --> 00:33:46,960
the spell will cover the entire world, and everyone within

489
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,799
it will have hope to make it to the next floor.

490
00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:53,680
And one last thing. This is the eighth floor after all,

491
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,559
And everybody suddenly has cards that slam down in front

492
00:33:58,599 --> 00:34:02,640
of them is Saul's, the cards that Sister Inez had

493
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:11,960
been holding. So uh paz is like appears eventually. Amion

494
00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:14,280
has a short deck with six totems. He will play

495
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,800
each as they appear. He won't even begin to attempt

496
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,760
to flee until all his totems are dead. AsSalt is

497
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,920
armed with a slightly enhanced version of the deck of

498
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,440
the late Sister in Nez. You can't kill the gods,

499
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:31,280
so you have to hold out now, guys, remind me,

500
00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:35,559
the stronger he is by the time the timer runs out,

501
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:37,440
the biggest spell will have to be if he is

502
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,960
at full power, that spell will cover the entire world

503
00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:43,519
and everyone within it will have hope to make it

504
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:47,920
to the next floor. Why is that again? I have

505
00:34:48,039 --> 00:34:51,440
completely lost the plot in terms of what relevance this

506
00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:57,719
has to what happens with the keys, I don't remember

507
00:34:58,559 --> 00:35:03,039
because and it's not like it doesn't say everyone will

508
00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:05,119
make it to the next floor. It just says everyone

509
00:35:05,199 --> 00:35:07,840
will have hope to make it to the next floor.

510
00:35:08,519 --> 00:35:11,960
So I think that it's just supposed to be this

511
00:35:12,039 --> 00:35:16,519
spell will cover the entire world, meaning that No, that

512
00:35:16,559 --> 00:35:20,480
doesn't make sense. I don't know what this is. I

513
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,679
know that that we had the cause and effect explanation

514
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:28,840
in the last section and I was getting it, and

515
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,000
now we've gotten here and so much has happened that

516
00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:34,599
I have completely lost a thread. So anybody wants to

517
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:42,119
remind me, be feel free to do so. So Chapter

518
00:35:42,159 --> 00:35:45,960
sixty seven begins. This was something new. It showed all

519
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,440
the team names. As I watched a rapid fire, string

520
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,599
of miniature face down cards appeared after each team. It

521
00:35:51,639 --> 00:35:54,400
was a counter showing how many cards each team had,

522
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,880
so that we're able to really keep track of exactly

523
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:06,039
where everybody is in the game. Let's see. Uh. Michael says, Honestly,

524
00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:08,480
the AI did them a huge favor. If Assaults it

525
00:36:08,559 --> 00:36:10,519
didn't have to use the deck, she would have killed

526
00:36:10,519 --> 00:36:15,119
them easily, one hundred percent. Definitely. I got distracted by

527
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,119
like what the relevance is, but thank you for mentioning that,

528
00:36:18,159 --> 00:36:20,719
because I felt like this was the AI kind of

529
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,400
making any victory possible for them here in a way

530
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,760
that Carl is like, oh, come on, as it happens,

531
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,519
and I again was like, Carl, why are you acting

532
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:37,920
like this? You guys would not have stood a chance.

533
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,320
She's leveled two fifty and immortal. Well what you see

534
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,440
is it turns out not really. He's just behaving like

535
00:36:46,679 --> 00:36:49,480
I can't believe this bullshit, and I'm like, this is

536
00:36:49,519 --> 00:36:55,000
a huge fucking favor. Really, Like, what did you think

537
00:36:55,039 --> 00:36:56,760
you guys were going to be able to pull off?

538
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,360
Michael said, We don't know for sure yet, but we

539
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,719
know Carl has a plan with the Demon's spell to

540
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,119
go home, and he needs it to cover the whole world.

541
00:37:06,159 --> 00:37:10,000
We have clues from Samantha's description of it. Sarah from

542
00:37:10,079 --> 00:37:12,880
says and that it involves crawlers digging themselves underneath the

543
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:19,159
portal chambers. Okay, yeah, I remembered that part, but I

544
00:37:19,159 --> 00:37:21,920
didn't remember, so we don't even know the whole thing. Okay,

545
00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:24,320
just as long as that is. Because like, there was

546
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,079
something that was mentioned last time, and I think this

547
00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:30,920
is Michael saying we have clues from Samantha's description. I

548
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,519
think I'm remembering something that she said that I was

549
00:37:33,559 --> 00:37:37,159
sort of like, oh wait, I think I might, And

550
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,599
now I have forgotten what it is. But that's okay,

551
00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:44,039
I don't mind. We'll get surprised, and that's also fun.

552
00:37:46,519 --> 00:37:49,840
Our goal was as difficult as it was clear. We

553
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,559
had to play offense with Amaion and kill his six

554
00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:54,840
totems as soon as possible, which would allow us to

555
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,320
talk to him With the Vinegar Bitch. We had to

556
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,800
play defense. We couldn't hurt the goddess directly, but the

557
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,599
more she ran out of cards, she'd be able to

558
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,239
nuke us from orbit with one of her spells. We

559
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,440
had to keep her deck from running dry for the

560
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,519
next ten minutes. And this is what I mean. We're here.

561
00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:12,400
Carl is just like, okay, well, this will delay her

562
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,360
and I'm like, yeah, so why were you pissed about this?

563
00:38:14,559 --> 00:38:18,119
Like you seem to understand that, So why were you? Like?

564
00:38:18,199 --> 00:38:23,199
Are you fucking kidding me? And he says something about

565
00:38:23,199 --> 00:38:28,320
how Donuts' little sailor cap had used to look ridiculous,

566
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,119
but now it seemed appropriate in a way I couldn't explain.

567
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,239
And I think maybe it's like she's like a soldier. Now,

568
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:37,519
I think that might be. It is that there's a

569
00:38:37,639 --> 00:38:39,760
vibe to her of just fucking doing what needs to

570
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:46,360
be done and putting on a brave face. And you know, so, yeah,

571
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,199
he asks, you got this? I am the current reigning

572
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,400
champion Persian cat in the galaxy. I've received more trophies

573
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,039
and Purple ribbons than anyone alive, and most importantly, I

574
00:38:55,039 --> 00:38:58,800
am a warlord of the Princess Posse Faction Wars team. Yes, Carl,

575
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:02,760
I got this. Ugh, what a fucking g You know

576
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,480
that she's terrified, but nevertheless, and this is the energy

577
00:39:05,519 --> 00:39:08,079
that we really really need right now. So thank you, Gurley.

578
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,760
Let's do this so we get as this is all

579
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:18,320
like beginning to unfold around us at a breakneck pace,

580
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,400
there are other demons still attacking our friends and there's

581
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:30,000
shit happening in the stairwells. It is just constant chaos

582
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:34,960
throughout this, and there's like we get to see what

583
00:39:35,159 --> 00:39:38,880
some of the other totems are, which are very unnerving.

584
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,840
We get shing Chan, who is a human without a head.

585
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:47,679
The large shirtless man had a wide, cackling face built

586
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:50,880
into the flesh of his hairless chest. He carried an

587
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,679
axe in one hand and a large shield in the other.

588
00:39:55,199 --> 00:39:59,199
Am Ions Amion's totem landed with a heavy crash. It

589
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:04,719
was a flaming rock creature. Katya and it'saw also made

590
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,559
their first moves, both summoning totems at the same time.

591
00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:11,519
Katya summoned her scary ass bird creature, followed by a

592
00:40:11,559 --> 00:40:15,000
consumable utility card called Timeless, which would keep the birds

593
00:40:15,039 --> 00:40:18,599
summoned forever. The bird landed upon Kotya's shoulder with a

594
00:40:18,639 --> 00:40:22,960
fanfare that looked like colorful burning embers and dancing baby

595
00:40:23,039 --> 00:40:26,760
pacifiers wafting into the sky, which would be odd as

596
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,440
fuck if I'd really had time to think about it.

597
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,239
And I was wondering if this was like a stork,

598
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,800
if it's supposed to be like that kind of thing.

599
00:40:37,039 --> 00:40:40,440
The totem was a large cat sized raven, but its

600
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,559
head was full was a skull of an infant human.

601
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,639
The skull was punctuated with little holes filled with teeth.

602
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,440
I am so sorry, but that is just enough already,

603
00:40:54,519 --> 00:41:01,079
absolutely the fuck not. And then we smon the monk Seal,

604
00:41:01,159 --> 00:41:05,280
who he goes right through the floor after much fanfare,

605
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,360
not fanfare from the AI when he is summoned, but

606
00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:12,840
he himself creates a fanfare for himself once he appears,

607
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,599
which I do respect at a certain level. And then

608
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:23,960
as he like falls is sault, she says, Seal, find him,

609
00:41:24,039 --> 00:41:26,519
find that one with my mark upon him, and kill him.

610
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,039
I don't know how it is that she is able

611
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:35,000
to dictate what somebody else's totem does, but evidently this

612
00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:43,360
is something that's possible. So Galu level one hundred inferior demon,

613
00:41:43,519 --> 00:41:47,280
Mavette level one hundred inferior demon. The first two were tall,

614
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:53,440
fat wing demons with wide evil faces, and one of them,

615
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,159
like Samantha, goes for him, and he uses his whip

616
00:41:56,199 --> 00:42:00,000
and sends her flying a ways away. She does eventually

617
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,800
head back, but it is she was clearly sent a

618
00:42:04,039 --> 00:42:08,000
long way off. And then the third newcomer was a

619
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:11,760
ridiculously over the top sexy looking human like female demon

620
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,880
with outrageously large breasts. They floated on their own in

621
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,519
front of her, each defying physics and gravity, which I

622
00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:25,159
found extremely funny. I cannot tell you, guys how much

623
00:42:25,199 --> 00:42:28,639
I have wished throughout my life that my boobs behaved

624
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,960
when I was just walking around the way they do

625
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:33,960
when I'm like floating in a pool or something. Life

626
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,599
would be so much easier. So I love that. As

627
00:42:38,639 --> 00:42:41,880
she summoned amianas like, these are not true representations, and

628
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,679
he's just like seems like very like cranky about it.

629
00:42:45,559 --> 00:42:53,119
So it's Carl versus Namah, and he like goes in

630
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,599
pretty hard and it doesn't do much. Initially it's rough,

631
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,400
like it's rough in a way that she of course

632
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:05,559
cannot help but comment on. And at one point she

633
00:43:05,639 --> 00:43:09,159
tries to bite him, and he has that new like

634
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:15,559
tech shield which shatters her teeth, and then uses wisp

635
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:20,280
armor and tries to use a potion, a healing potion.

636
00:43:21,159 --> 00:43:26,280
A terrible taste flooded my mouth. A kombucha achievement flashed

637
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,639
as I remembered the vinegar deep buff and this did

638
00:43:29,679 --> 00:43:31,840
make me laugh I am one of those weirdos who

639
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,559
likes kombucha. But I just really have begun to understand

640
00:43:36,639 --> 00:43:40,920
that my palette isn't a big fan of like super sweet.

641
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:46,239
I love sour, I love bitter, I love salt, I

642
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:52,519
love weird tastes, and so it is understandable to me

643
00:43:53,039 --> 00:43:56,480
why people dislike it. I really get it, but it

644
00:43:56,679 --> 00:44:01,519
just scratches an itch for me, you know. And anyway,

645
00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:08,280
she is slamming him on the ground when she gets

646
00:44:08,599 --> 00:44:14,440
yanked away by a fucking tentacle and it is a

647
00:44:14,559 --> 00:44:19,400
card that Donut has stolen Banjo Level one twenty hell scrub,

648
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:27,079
which I have no idea anything about that, and we

649
00:44:27,159 --> 00:44:30,079
needed to keep assaults totems alive on my interface. She

650
00:44:30,159 --> 00:44:32,559
was down to just ten cards and barely a minute

651
00:44:32,599 --> 00:44:36,760
had passed. She was discarding her own cards when she could,

652
00:44:38,039 --> 00:44:41,679
so at this point, he's seeing ami On has one

653
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,719
card left that he is trying to put down and

654
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,679
then he'll be done with his cards, and she is

655
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,880
preventing him from doing that, so Donut uses forced discard

656
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:57,119
on him, and then all of a sudden, there's Yoink,

657
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:02,400
which plays assault pulls a car from everybody else's hands.

658
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:07,719
Not even hands. It's like from inventory as well, because

659
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,360
Ellie says something about like one being pulled out of

660
00:45:10,519 --> 00:45:13,360
or no. Castias says, they stolen an active card from

661
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,599
my inventory. It's one of the totems we were forced

662
00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:21,880
to take. Oh shit, it's trans mom, which yeah, I

663
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,599
mean the fact that they are forced to take these totems.

664
00:45:26,159 --> 00:45:33,599
It's all so gross. Oh my god. The sasquatch, along

665
00:45:33,639 --> 00:45:36,159
with one of the humans, a large, elderly Asian woman,

666
00:45:36,199 --> 00:45:38,639
both roared and jumped down through the same hole in

667
00:45:38,679 --> 00:45:42,440
the floor that Yago caused. The other human, also an

668
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,000
Asian woman, but much younger, said something to Lee June,

669
00:45:45,079 --> 00:45:48,960
who screamed in outrage, you're not my cousin. I only

670
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,559
had eyes for the fourth one leveled up Frank Sober

671
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:59,920
edition level one hundred night elf blood assassin, and he says, fancy,

672
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,840
I'm seeing you here. Where's your ring? Which is interesting.

673
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:07,599
I guess Carl still got it put away, probably for

674
00:46:07,679 --> 00:46:15,360
the best. I would prefer that, but yes, so Tran says,

675
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,760
I got the rock. Bastard my wheelchair blew a hole

676
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,719
in his chair, a hole in his chest. I need

677
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:25,000
a healer. The world froze the countdown stopped. We had

678
00:46:25,039 --> 00:46:27,760
seven minutes and twenty seven seconds left. I took in

679
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,440
the scene. Frank was in the process of slicing his

680
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,119
sword through a tentacle. The young woman had a bloody,

681
00:46:34,159 --> 00:46:36,760
squirting heart in her goddamn hand. She just pulled it

682
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,960
from the chest of the legendary Master. It appeared the

683
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,440
Master Totem had gotten a memory go shirt stuck on

684
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,559
his face, which had momentarily blinded him. Lee June was

685
00:46:45,559 --> 00:46:48,239
in the midst of a backflip. Koscious skull headed bird

686
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,320
thing was flying through the air and aimed directly at

687
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,480
the Frank Totem. Lena's shing Chum was about to time

688
00:46:53,559 --> 00:46:57,920
out already. Samantha was finally on her way back quest

689
00:46:58,079 --> 00:47:02,639
update the Missing Piece Part one. Demon Lord Amion is

690
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:07,679
trapped and so what we get here. There are not

691
00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:12,400
enough souls in this world. You've got to make sure

692
00:47:12,559 --> 00:47:18,239
that there are enough souls via a method that you

693
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:24,280
may have noticed earlier, you know, the ones that triggered

694
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:29,480
this event. So what it is is because the sperm

695
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:35,639
had been made as like they were, they qualified as mobs.

696
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:42,119
He has to get that fucking crab to jerk off,

697
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:49,360
because that's enough souls to qualify to get Amion for

698
00:47:49,519 --> 00:47:55,239
him to go home, which is bananas. This is insane.

699
00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:05,800
So he's yelling to you, Donut, what about do you

700
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,639
have the Midnight Express card? Everyone, You're gonna have to

701
00:48:09,679 --> 00:48:12,079
talk to Amion and get him to wait for a

702
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:15,239
few minutes. I'm going to run the moment we unfreeze,

703
00:48:15,639 --> 00:48:18,000
Donut message me when you pull him and then cast

704
00:48:18,039 --> 00:48:21,000
the Midnight Express card. And she's like, we're on the

705
00:48:21,039 --> 00:48:24,440
thirty second floor. What do you mean you're running? And

706
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:29,559
he says, Samantha, I'm coming to you. This was going

707
00:48:29,639 --> 00:48:35,480
to suck here I come. Don't let me fall. So

708
00:48:36,199 --> 00:48:39,800
we go to chapter sixty eight. The world unfreezes and

709
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:48,440
he jumps onto Samantha and asks her to h run

710
00:48:48,519 --> 00:48:52,400
between the demon's legs, and for a second she's just like,

711
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,679
I am not a carnival ride. And then she stops

712
00:48:54,679 --> 00:48:56,920
and she's like, actually that does sound pretty fun. Okay, yeah,

713
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,320
let's do that. She can barely hold him. It's really

714
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,960
tough because she's just a head. So she's got the

715
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,239
pigtails and he holds onto those as best he can,

716
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:14,559
but it's not easy. Donuh I have him? How long

717
00:49:14,599 --> 00:49:18,920
does the Midnight Express card last three minutes, wait ten seconds,

718
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,119
then play it five minutes thirty seconds left. I let

719
00:49:22,119 --> 00:49:24,719
go of Samantha's pigtails and drop to the Rocky Beach,

720
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:29,760
which was covered in corpses. A new achievement appeared as

721
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,199
Donut played the Midnight Express. It was one of the

722
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,519
two consumable cards Rend gave me before she died. I

723
00:49:36,519 --> 00:49:39,519
don't know what this does. I don't remember if we

724
00:49:39,519 --> 00:49:45,559
were told or not, but this makes Carl the new

725
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:50,920
deck master. So you know, when he's mentioning this to Donah,

726
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,440
I am, I'm completely in the dark about what this does.

727
00:49:55,480 --> 00:50:02,679
And so he very abruptly had this interface in front

728
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,760
of him where he can see the cards. The card

729
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,920
featured a pair of tag team wrestlers behind me atop

730
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,880
the building. Donut was now temporarily unfettered, which would allow

731
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,159
her to cast her spells and use her inventory while

732
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,480
I had control of the debt, which is super super convenient.

733
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,960
And he says, Samantha, go back enhance donut spells, and

734
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,320
she instantly takes off. This is what I'm talking about.

735
00:50:26,639 --> 00:50:31,559
Samantha is fucking becoming a team player in a way

736
00:50:31,599 --> 00:50:35,239
that she wasn't. She would argue, she would like fuck

737
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:42,079
around and do what she felt like she's changing. The

738
00:50:42,119 --> 00:50:44,039
other three cards in my hand were Golden Combo, which

739
00:50:44,039 --> 00:50:47,000
would allow me to temporarily combine two totems a time extent,

740
00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:50,039
and the card I was looking for Raoul the Crab

741
00:50:51,639 --> 00:50:56,000
and he summons him. Raoul is just like, what the

742
00:50:56,079 --> 00:50:59,039
fuck is? Everything is dead? Who am I even supposed

743
00:50:59,039 --> 00:51:03,639
to be fighting? And then a new card appears, Alpha

744
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:08,840
Male Carl. We'd been a totem short after it. Donut

745
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,920
used Golden Combo to temporarily fuse Lazarus with Skylar Spinach,

746
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,400
and then added Ren's other consumable card, Glow Up, to

747
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,760
make the combo permanent. The stronger versions of Asahano and

748
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,679
Uzi Jesus made it a great, powerful combo, but none

749
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,480
of that mattered right now. Right now, I needed to

750
00:51:24,519 --> 00:51:27,719
get this damn crab to jerk off into the ocean,

751
00:51:28,599 --> 00:51:31,719
which is a hell of a sentence. I think that

752
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,559
we should start keeping track with some of the more

753
00:51:33,599 --> 00:51:37,960
bonker sentences in this series, and we probably should have

754
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,800
started a lot earlier, But right now I need to

755
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,119
get this crab to jerk off into the ocean. I

756
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,519
feel is enough of look and tender that I don't

757
00:51:46,519 --> 00:51:49,559
feel too bad about not saving sentences from previous books.

758
00:51:49,559 --> 00:51:51,880
I feel like that would have beat them all out anyway,

759
00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:57,440
loll pun intended, So yeah, we'll put that on the list,

760
00:51:58,679 --> 00:52:03,639
and he says he has to convince Raoul to do this. Sorry,

761
00:52:03,639 --> 00:52:08,760
if you guys can hear my dog's barking, and understandably,

762
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,320
Raoul is like, uh, that's a lot of pressure. Are

763
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:15,679
you serious, like just right now out here, and Carl

764
00:52:16,159 --> 00:52:20,480
talks him into it, as Donut says, the Goddess Lady

765
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,960
summoned a weird version of Paz Pakatscha, put him in

766
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,320
a shield jail thing, and he's probably gonna time out.

767
00:52:25,559 --> 00:52:28,239
Ellie and Brittany and Louis are backup here, and Mani

768
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:35,079
and Tran are trapped, and then finally I can't do it.

769
00:52:35,519 --> 00:52:40,079
I need a baby seal. What the fuck, Raoul? He

770
00:52:40,199 --> 00:52:43,840
waved his pincer. No, not like that. The seals hang

771
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,400
out near the eggs. It's like an automatic reaction we've

772
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,719
been programmed to perform when we see baby seals. It

773
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:56,480
was no wonder the monks seals wanted these guys all dead. Yeah.

774
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,719
I mean, granted it's not exactly what it sounded like

775
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:04,920
an but that's like barely better, honestly, you know. So

776
00:53:05,119 --> 00:53:09,079
Carl points out a pile of dead baby seals and says,

777
00:53:09,199 --> 00:53:14,000
try that. And then when he summons Alpha male Carl,

778
00:53:16,119 --> 00:53:18,320
this version was much friendlier now that I'd been the

779
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,880
one to summon him. A little too friendly. I glanced

780
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,599
at the clock. This wasn't gonna work. Three minutes before

781
00:53:24,639 --> 00:53:27,079
the whole quest was done, one minute left before Donut

782
00:53:27,079 --> 00:53:29,760
took back control. I would still be stuck here when

783
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,920
the Midnight Express card expired, and so with the two totems,

784
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:37,280
but we were running out of time. You look upset.

785
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,480
Do you want to talk about it? Alpha Carl asked?

786
00:53:41,559 --> 00:53:46,280
What is going on with Alpha Carl? It's almost like

787
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,119
he's drunk, Like there's a field to this, of like

788
00:53:49,159 --> 00:53:52,800
the guy that people get different when they're drunk, and

789
00:53:53,079 --> 00:53:57,480
some people get pissed, and you know, they can pick fights,

790
00:53:57,519 --> 00:54:02,199
they can get violent. Some people like myself get super talkative.

791
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,559
And let me tell you, guys, you know how talkative

792
00:54:04,599 --> 00:54:08,159
I am. Anyway, it is a sight to behold. I

793
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,880
will be like outside of my own body, watching myself

794
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:15,199
talking a mile a minute and it's I can't stop it.

795
00:54:15,199 --> 00:54:20,639
It's bonkers. And then there's the sap. And Mike's husband

796
00:54:20,679 --> 00:54:23,760
was like this. Anytime that he would like get drunk,

797
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,320
he would come home and just be like, I love

798
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:31,039
you so much, do you know? Or he'd text me

799
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,159
like a bunch of texts you know about like I

800
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,400
just don't feel like I tell you and know if

801
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,079
il muje, I appreciate you like that kind of thing.

802
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:44,039
And that's the vibe that I'm getting here. I need

803
00:54:44,079 --> 00:54:45,800
you to almost kill me. I can do it for

804
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,039
myself if I have to, but I'd prefer if someone

805
00:54:48,039 --> 00:54:50,400
else does it so they can stop at the right moment.

806
00:54:51,039 --> 00:54:52,880
You have to beat me to an inch of my

807
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:59,000
life and then stop. And Alpha Carl is like, I'm

808
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,639
not gonna do that, you little brother. Maybe we should

809
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:06,280
hug it out. So just as they're having this chat

810
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:11,199
and Raoul is like, the cards disappear two minutes and

811
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:15,719
four seconds left. Dah am, I m bellowed in the distance.

812
00:55:17,159 --> 00:55:20,480
I cast why are you hitting yourself on Satan? Okay,

813
00:55:20,519 --> 00:55:22,239
that might have been a mistake. I think he is

814
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:26,760
big mad. That's Samantha. Alpha Carl put his hand on

815
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,199
my shoulder. You don't need to hurt yourself to feel loved,

816
00:55:32,119 --> 00:55:37,440
so Raoul and Raoul's still trying to jerk off. It

817
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,360
seems like the dead baby Seals are like kind of

818
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,239
doing the job. Annie is down, I'm out of cards.

819
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,440
Daniel on me. I'm gonna try to stop the goddess

820
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:51,639
and MANI says, I found Tram, but we're surrounded. And

821
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,559
then Alpha Carl is saying to Raoul stop being a

822
00:55:55,559 --> 00:55:58,760
little bitch and get the job done. And Raoul says,

823
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,400
don't yell at me. Wait, wait, never mind yell at

824
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:08,079
me again. I think it's helping. And this, you guys,

825
00:56:08,159 --> 00:56:13,079
those of you who have seen Succession, you know what

826
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:20,400
I'm talking about. You know the scene that I'm talking about, right,

827
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:25,239
It is Honestly, it's that show is so good at

828
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,840
being funny in moments that you're like, I should not

829
00:56:28,079 --> 00:56:30,039
find this one. This is fucked up. I should not

830
00:56:30,079 --> 00:56:35,639
be laughing. But you can't help. And this is exactly

831
00:56:36,199 --> 00:56:40,239
that moment, and I was just like, oh, Raoul, you

832
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:50,840
are such a little fucking creep. So Carl teleports into

833
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,679
the trap that he left inside of Samantha and does

834
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,960
this so that his health will drop because he is

835
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,960
getting dissolved by the acid inside of her neck hole.

836
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:07,519
He's doing this to activate the Martyr's path benefit, which

837
00:57:07,559 --> 00:57:11,320
will only work if he's at five percent health. It

838
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,719
would release flames over all of my outside of building footsteps,

839
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,599
since my fire attacks were currently enhanced with shale fire,

840
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,119
and since I'd run underneath the demon, it would bathe

841
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:27,039
the demon in shale fire and enhance his power, hopefully enough.

842
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:36,800
So he's inside of her neck hole and she tries

843
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,719
to like squeeze him out, but he holds her down

844
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,320
because the reminder it is just like his head in there,

845
00:57:42,679 --> 00:57:44,880
so his legs are out swinging, his arms are out

846
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:52,360
so he can like hold her down on him. It's horrifying.

847
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,360
This whole thing is so weird. And of course later

848
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,039
she counts this as them having sex, and he's like,

849
00:57:58,079 --> 00:57:59,679
that's not what it was. And I'm like, it's a

850
00:57:59,719 --> 00:58:02,320
little bit what it was, Carl. I know that you

851
00:58:02,559 --> 00:58:05,159
didn't mean it this way, but you had to know

852
00:58:05,239 --> 00:58:07,000
that is how she was going to interpret it, and

853
00:58:07,079 --> 00:58:10,519
it was. I mean, it's just it. I can't help

854
00:58:10,559 --> 00:58:16,039
but see her side, I really can't help it. And

855
00:58:16,119 --> 00:58:19,960
then he feels that the it says the timer ended

856
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,960
and I wasn't down to five percent. I had failed

857
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,039
all that for nothing. A page of notifications appeared. I

858
00:58:27,119 --> 00:58:30,320
was at seven percent health and I ripped Samantha up

859
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,519
off me. I remained in darkness, and my health continued

860
00:58:33,519 --> 00:58:37,239
to dip. A button appeared in my interface and I

861
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,679
mentally clicked it with all the force I had. The

862
00:58:40,719 --> 00:58:44,599
Martyr's path has engulfed your steps. The Scavenger's daughter has

863
00:58:44,719 --> 00:58:51,920
enhanced your fire attack seven percent, and it still happened.

864
00:58:53,599 --> 00:58:59,039
Isn't that interesting? Just before I fully passed out, I

865
00:58:59,199 --> 00:59:02,519
gasped their returned as quickly as it had gone. The

866
00:59:02,559 --> 00:59:08,480
slamming motions stopped, replaced by a cackling sound, and he

867
00:59:08,679 --> 00:59:13,639
is at two percent health. Bunch of d buffs quest

868
00:59:13,719 --> 00:59:19,760
complete the missing piece part one and he's just like, wait,

869
00:59:20,119 --> 00:59:23,920
what that doesn't make any sense? The timer ran out,

870
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:29,280
my spell didn't engage, and then he sees the world notification.

871
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,760
The timer had actually stopped with just two seconds left,

872
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:38,000
but not because of something I had done. A deity

873
00:59:38,159 --> 00:59:43,280
has fallen. The heavens tremble with rage. Crawler pas Low

874
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,239
has slain the Goddess assault He has been marked for

875
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:51,599
death by all deities except sworn enemies of the late Goddess.

876
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:59,480
Has I hope you get to die finally appreciate you, bud.

877
00:59:59,719 --> 01:00:06,360
I Really the way that this works, a memorial crystal

878
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,800
for the Goddess Assaults has been generated. It will be

879
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,960
available to be looted on a future floor. Great riches

880
01:00:13,079 --> 01:00:17,639
abound to who may find it. All worshipers of Assault

881
01:00:17,719 --> 01:00:23,679
have permanently been inflicted with the despondent de buff AsSalt

882
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:28,320
is no longer in the realm. The Scavenger's daughter has

883
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,800
looked away, though her eyes remain open to the presence

884
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,800
of ammon. All of your vinegar infused potions outside your

885
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,679
inventory have been enhanced. The rest of our effects will

886
01:00:36,719 --> 01:00:42,760
fade with time. So Paz was a totem. She cast

887
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:48,360
and he turned on her, which evidently is like a

888
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:53,800
loophole for something that can kill her. She's supposed to

889
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:59,239
be immortal on the floor, and yet this feels like

890
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:03,679
a loophole that just was established this second. This feels

891
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:08,400
like the AI was like. This feels like the AI

892
01:01:08,599 --> 01:01:13,119
is distinctly on our side. Actually, had we just had

893
01:01:13,119 --> 01:01:15,320
this chat, you guys, and I keep trying to not

894
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:19,559
let myself fall into this trap. But I think that

895
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,719
maybe what it is isn't necessarily that the AI is

896
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,400
not our friend, so much as we have to decode

897
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,920
what the AI is trying to do to help us

898
01:01:30,519 --> 01:01:36,519
in whatever moment it's doing it. I don't know, man.

899
01:01:38,719 --> 01:01:43,039
So let's see, I haven't watched the show, but the

900
01:01:43,079 --> 01:01:45,800
powerful executive who loves to be humiliated during sex as

901
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:50,960
a trope. Oh? Sure, but that it's not as simple

902
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:56,440
as that, Michael. I promise the situation is almost exactly

903
01:01:56,639 --> 01:01:58,880
like this in terms of how it plays out. It's

904
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:04,199
like uncann No. Kachi gave pas her bolt that takes

905
01:02:04,239 --> 01:02:10,599
away at God's immortality for a few seconds. Oh do

906
01:02:10,679 --> 01:02:12,960
we know that yet? Or are you spoiling me? Michael?

907
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,920
I feel like I must have missed that. Hold on, here,

908
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,880
it is here, it is. You're not spoiling me. I'm sorry.

909
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,679
I should have had more faith, Donut says. Kachi gave

910
01:02:26,719 --> 01:02:28,400
pa Is an arrow thing and he stuck it into

911
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:30,639
the dwarf lady's eye, and then he blew himself up.

912
01:02:30,639 --> 01:02:33,280
But the explosion was all concentrated on the goddess's neck.

913
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,440
Her head fell off. We all fell down several stories

914
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,480
they gave him credit for it, even though he went

915
01:02:38,519 --> 01:02:43,519
away when she died. I am so curious because even

916
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:56,039
so damn even so. So he is stuck inside Samantha,

917
01:02:57,679 --> 01:03:02,880
and the demon has got Samantha's head in his hand

918
01:03:03,559 --> 01:03:07,719
as he is hitting himself, so he is hitting himself

919
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:13,880
with Carl partially, and it is really doing some damage.

920
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,840
He has a bunch of shale fire at his feet,

921
01:03:17,039 --> 01:03:20,639
which is Carl's own fire by the way he put

922
01:03:20,679 --> 01:03:23,119
it there. If I'm not mistaken, that's just like his

923
01:03:23,199 --> 01:03:28,360
own fault. And Ellie is just like, don't let him

924
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:33,039
drop you because that will definitely kill you. And then

925
01:03:33,239 --> 01:03:37,840
Donut yells at this guy. The demons like, turn this off,

926
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,880
and she says, I will, but you have to let

927
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:45,679
my friends go. They're stuck in your hand, and he

928
01:03:45,719 --> 01:03:52,039
does not like agree to this. By the way, Samantha

929
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,440
shook her head like a dog and came to hover

930
01:03:54,639 --> 01:03:58,000
next to me. Carl, that was the second weirdest sex

931
01:03:58,039 --> 01:03:59,800
I ever had. You got a warning, girl, if you're

932
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,320
going to just pop in like that, we're going to

933
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,039
have to do something about your hair before we announce

934
01:04:04,039 --> 01:04:05,920
we're dating. Now, I'll break it to Louis, but you'll

935
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,960
have to put up with me straying sometimes. If I

936
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,039
ever catch you cheating on me, they'll be trouble. Oh

937
01:04:11,159 --> 01:04:19,639
this is gonna get complicated. And I looked into the

938
01:04:19,679 --> 01:04:22,320
sky and I felt an enormous sense of relief. Even

939
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,280
though he was punching himself again and again, he'd done it.

940
01:04:25,679 --> 01:04:29,159
Am Ion had started casting the spell to send himself home.

941
01:04:29,639 --> 01:04:33,519
The massive red cloud filled the sky, growing by the moment.

942
01:04:34,559 --> 01:04:39,519
Behind us, the FOSCA building still miraculously stood sort of.

943
01:04:43,239 --> 01:04:46,480
I returned my attention to amay On. You are a

944
01:04:46,559 --> 01:04:49,599
child of Embras, and you that the sguise won't fool me.

945
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:55,000
I know who you really are. And Dona is contacting

946
01:04:55,079 --> 01:04:57,000
Carl and just like, dude, what do we do? What

947
01:04:57,079 --> 01:05:03,280
do we do? And uh? Carl takes this opportunity to

948
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:10,000
question Amyon about Embrus's son's murder, which I was relieved

949
01:05:10,039 --> 01:05:12,920
because I was wondering if he had maybe forgotten about

950
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,719
that directive, which it would be very easy to considering

951
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,400
everything that has been happening. But then he brings it

952
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,159
up here and I was like, this is the perfect chance,

953
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:25,320
good idea, and he says, you tell him. I know

954
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,760
exactly what happened. I was witnessed to the deal being signed.

955
01:05:29,079 --> 01:05:31,360
If he assists in helping me kill my three brothers,

956
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:34,519
I will tell him. And he says, I cast the

957
01:05:34,559 --> 01:05:36,760
spell that gave you new strength. I filled this world

958
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,360
with souls. You need tell those other demons to leave

959
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,840
my friends alone, and I will deliver your message. And

960
01:05:43,199 --> 01:05:47,000
Amion is like, uh, you also killed Assault, the mother

961
01:05:47,079 --> 01:05:50,559
of my child, so I don't know you shit, and

962
01:05:50,719 --> 01:05:57,639
just talking to you he already knows, so sorry, not sorry,

963
01:05:57,719 --> 01:06:01,880
and he just drops Carl and Samantha down toward the fire.

964
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,480
This is one of those things that's so funny to

965
01:06:05,559 --> 01:06:09,119
me of just like Assault was controlling and enslaving you,

966
01:06:10,159 --> 01:06:14,440
but you know, we killed her and now we're enemies

967
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,199
despite the fact that she was doing all that to you,

968
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:22,519
because gods just have that thin blue line. Basically, they

969
01:06:22,559 --> 01:06:25,159
circle the wagons even when they hate each other. It's like,

970
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:29,119
not about that, you know, fucking gods, am I right?

971
01:06:29,199 --> 01:06:34,159
What a pain in the ass. So next section is

972
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:39,039
the remainder of the book, and I am really curious

973
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,920
what all we've got in store, because like I'm thinking

974
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:47,039
that maybe Samantha can just scoop Carl up. She could

975
01:06:47,119 --> 01:06:50,320
barely hold him, so I don't know how she keeps

976
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:55,320
him from, you know, hitting the fire exactly, but maybe

977
01:06:55,360 --> 01:07:01,280
something can happen. Her power seemed to be increasing for

978
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:06,840
reasons I don't understand, so maybe there's something in that. Ah,

979
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:11,480
I don't know, I don't know, but uh but yeah,

980
01:07:11,559 --> 01:07:15,519
so that is the end of the chapter. And these

981
01:07:15,639 --> 01:07:21,719
freakin gods. It's just I'm really curious the deal that

982
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:26,079
was signed, Like, what all is happening with the what's

983
01:07:26,119 --> 01:07:30,199
the hot goss with the gods? The god's goss? All Right,

984
01:07:30,239 --> 01:07:32,320
I gotta wrap up them overtime as usual, But thank

985
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,280
you guys again for hanging out. Appreciate you all a lot,

986
01:07:35,760 --> 01:08:08,559
and until next time to lou motherfuckers. That was an

987
01:08:08,679 --> 01:08:10,559
Unspoiled Network podcast.
