last time? Y'all?
Speaker 2: So how was the problem? We were to go fight
the people, do some ship, you know, back some bodies,
and I was like, how about we just roll the rebellion?
Hello bus, meet the leader. Oh so she's about to
find out what it's like to be hit by the
Isakai truck.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah you said, yeah, y'all sent me
for a whirl, And I think, uh me sent Freed
and tam up for a whirl. Like what the fuck
is he doing?
Speaker 3: We were just sitting here like wait, what what?
Speaker 2: I didn't mean kind of like for that to take
over everything did me to do?
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you had a plan.
Speaker 2: Wasn't a good plan, but.
Speaker 1: I mean he basically went up to the sorry, go ahead,
trick up.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say that I finally, I finally
now understand what it's like to be that one dude
in a group project that has no fucking idea what's
going on? And does nothing the entire time because usually
I'm the dude doing all the work. But now I
was just sitting here like hey, what's going on and
contributed absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: Girl, I was just as confused as y'all were. I
was like, what's happening? Because for those of y'all who
didn't know, Mith walked up to the cast door, knocked up,
basically knocked on the door and say, hey, I have
some information, Miss Queeney would love to know again, Oh
my dad, let me let me use the correct term
for a character I literally created while I was high
one night. Okay, let me just let me just do that.
Empress still want Oh?
Speaker 2: I mean what?
Speaker 7: They gave her the name.
Speaker 2: O God? So yeahs a title not a name.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what stop I actually looked.
Speaker 2: Up because I didn't know before. But the difference between
empress and queen or emperor and king is that a
king is the ruler of a single piece of land. Well,
the emperor is the ruler of many kingdoms.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, And she is a She isn't a
ruler of many many kingdoms that she has conquered and
gave herself the name Empress because you all saved her
life not knowing any better. But yeah, metth just walked
on and say, I got some tea, I got some shit.
The Empress is gonna want to know. And then y'all
you walked in like you own the place and be like, oh,
my Empress, I know where the rebels are if you
want to know, and I'm over here, like, way.
Speaker 7: What do you be?
Speaker 6: Way?
Speaker 3: I was, it's giving Jack sparrow.
Speaker 1: It's giving Jack sparrow. Literally, I was like, I wasn't.
I didn't prepare for this. I didn't prepare for the
Empress to show up last time, to have to have
her show up, so I had to go on the fly.
I'm gonna be row with y'all. I should be more
aware of the party I usually have in these games,
because this is not the first time that my party
has behooved and behooved my ass. So I should have
been prepared, but I wasn't. So sometimes you gotta go
off the curve because your party is Sometimes they're little there.
They think they are a few steps ahead where they
were werens you're something some of you or something. I
think everyone in this party has done something that I'm
just like, what, oh, okay, all right, great, let's just
roll with it, okay.
Speaker 6: Which will need like a telling of our respective war crimes, then.
Speaker 1: Girl, if I need to do that. I wanted to
listen back to Campaign one and then lead up to
where we are now, and that I can give you
a tally. Give me a while, I'll make a tally
of all the war crimes that some of y'all committed.
Now some now, some other players that are not currently
here in the Campaign two, some in Campaign one command
more war crimes than the other than the others. But
I think everyone in this game, oh oh oh, you
have no idea Jamee has committed so many war.
Speaker 2: Crimes surprising Canadian either.
Speaker 1: Damn damn. Don't jug our Canadian listeners. If we have
at least a few.
Speaker 2: Look up the truth. The reason why the Convention Winter
is written because the Canadians.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, it's it's so.
Speaker 3: It's always the more. It's always the polite ones.
Speaker 2: Always the polite ones. It's the moment with their Hockey eight,
Germany was out there being like, you know, we're gonna
go fucking start taking over Europe, and then the Canadians
had to be like, oh, okay, listen here, but hockey
season's going on right now. We can't have you fucking
up with hockey season. They had to lay down the rules.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's so good.
Speaker 3: Anyway, we're gonna it's so canceled.
Speaker 2: I'm park Canadians.
Speaker 8: So it's fine, you know what, It's fine if he's
part Canadians as long as as long as the crime
came from within the closet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly exactly. So we left off with Freed
and Tama in the back near the doorway as Myth
is addressing the Empress and they're in the back confused
as fuck. So we'll jump to YouTube first. Jake jacob
Our Freed and Tama, What is going through y'all's heads?
Seeing Myth bow properly bow and address the Empress and says,
I'm gonna give you all the information you fucking need.
What's going through y'all's heads?
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking, the fuck is he doing?
Speaker 6: Honestly, the same thing, like what is he? Where's he
coming at with this?
Speaker 5: You those you know those moments that when two people
share a look with each other like what the fuck?
Like that's us right now. We're looking at each other,
back at uh, back in the back at Tody and
just like bag each other.
Speaker 1: Like what the fuck the fuck is he doing? At
that moment, you knew exactly what's going on each other's brains.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll back.
Speaker 1: M Yeah. Yeah, And one of y'all technically currently does
not have access to their weapon at the moment. So yeah,
I bet y'all. I bet one of y'all.
Speaker 9: It's kind of like, uh.
Speaker 1: Am, I gonna die to it. I mean danger, We're
all in danger.
Speaker 7: So meth.
Speaker 1: We time back into you. The Empress is looking at
you as you addressed her that you have information about
the rebels. Please continue on. I am dying to see
what you fucking do from here.
Speaker 2: Well, so last week left off, if I'm correct, I
was properly bowing. And my one my one request was
after she had she she didn't know she knew who
I was, was that there was a statue in this
in one of the main main buildings of the castle,
and I would like to see that statue before I
devulge any information.
Speaker 1: Okay, So she had.
Speaker 2: Led the people, she had led off, the Duke and
the white haired guy and her were talking.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, her advisor and or her chatting, and she
sent off the knights and the and the baron or
the duke baron. Same thing, honestly, kind of same thing.
So other chatt and snow White's looking directly at you, Mith,
she's not, she's not looking away, and her and what
you assume to be her advisor is kind of whispering.
Her whispering in her ear, and she's replying back and
you can't quite hear what she's saying, and she's and
she kind of stops, and she's like a statue, uh,
any particular statue, because you just say a statue, You
didn't say what it looked like and ship, yes.
Speaker 2: So I I don't remember much about it, but I
I describe her the statue that I saw, okay, where
it was what it looked like.
Speaker 1: Night stone, kind of on the darker stone because underneath
it's a black knight, so the stone will probably be
a lot darker than like was for your for you
a giant great sword, and you're describing it, and she
said hmmm, and her advisors talking to her as she
looks back to the direction of the knights, and she
calls upon the knights. The knights walk in and she
tells them about go hunt down this statue and bring
it back into this room, and the knights nod bow
and they go off down the hallway again in the
direction went with the baron, and you hear them calling
a bunch of other knights as they start looking for
a statue on the grounds at the said location and
description that you gave Empress. The Empress so she looks
down at you. She's like, why do you want this
statue or need or why are you wanting to see
this statue? If you mind me asking.
Speaker 2: A night, I will stand up. Weapons still on the floor.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: As we had previously discussed, I was and still am,
in the process of finding the soldiers that were under
my command when I disappeared. I have information leading me
to believe that this statue is, in fact one of
the knights that was once in my command.
Speaker 1: She nods, okay, and what do you She's like, she's
she's kinda she narrows her eyes at you. Oh God,
I'm thinking future deven't cut this part out. I'm thinking thinking, think, think,
So if we bring this statue to you, you will
tell me everything I need to know about the rebels.
Speaker 2: I have maps, detailed maps showing exact locations of specific rooms,
ways to get their names, titles, rough information on logistics,
how much food they have, how many weapons they have?
I have everything about them.
Speaker 1: And she looks back to Freed and Tama and how
about you two?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Uh, I'm honestly dumb, fagon. I'm like, what am I
supposed to do in this situation?
Speaker 1: I think that's the point. You don't have to you
don't have you don't have to have a plan. You're
just like, ah, yeah.
Speaker 6: And I don't know if it's smart to just be like, oh,
by the way, we've met, Oh no period dress.
Speaker 1: Who who you two are? Yeah? She remembers that you're
the ones that were rescued her, and of course she
knows also that y'all have been a problem that's kind
of been lurking around in her stuff. So okay, So
she looks at she looks at Freedom, Toma, and then
back to Meda. She's like, why would you betray the rebels?
Speaker 2: I mean, is it really betrayal? If I wasn't working
for them in the beginning, it means to an end
my Empress, I am information. I'm looking for information. They
had nothing other than this vague description of what I
think might have been one of my people, omitting the
fact that it was not them that gave him the information,
because if I'm corrected, came back in a vision. So
I'm gonna lie at that point that they had some
vague information from one of their people that managed to
make their way into this castle. So I feel no
no allegiance to them. I've already assisted you once ascending
to the throne that you so right Philly belong. So
I felt that by furthering myself into your graces, if
anything else were to appear, it would make it easier
on me to have someone as powerful as you.
Speaker 1: God, you're blowing so much hotter up brass because she's
eating it up. As you finish off your statement, two
nights came in holding a statue of a night holding
up a great sword. As they slowly make it into
the room, and they place it right in front of
you on the ground before you and the Empress, and
the night that's before you, or the statue of a
night that is before you, strikes a chord that it
looks very familiar you don't know how I mean, you
know you haven't seen this, You don't know the night
personally because of your memories per se, but you you
get you know this night. You know you know this
regardless if you actually have memories of the night personally
outside of outside of visions and some memories coming back
of you all working together. This is the night. This
is the black Knight, the Ebny night. You're one hundred
percent dead certain the other the Empress's nights. Put down
the statue and then walk back out of the throne room.
And Empress is like, I take this as your statue.
Speaker 2: I will go and inspect it, even though I know
for a fact it is.
Speaker 1: Okay, So do you leave your weapon behind you?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm completely like Enabord in both this night
and putting on a show that I don't want to
be a threat. I am not here to be a threat.
I'm here to merely collect what is mine and then
give what is the required information.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you walk up the walkway to the night.
That's right, that's right in front of the Empress, and
you look at it. You get a closer look, and yeah,
oh yeah, it's an artificer that has been.
Speaker 2: Not.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I don't want to say petrified. I guess
this petrified because petrifies what turns the stone. It's when
you turn the stone, right, yes, yeah, so yeah, it's
it's it's definitely an artificer that is petrified one hundred
and ten percent, because you can see cracks. There are
cracks in the statue, and if you look close enough,
you can see the black armor, a deep black underneath it,
which you could assume be the armor of the artificer
beneath it.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to reach my hand out to it
and touch it. Okay, does anything happen.
Speaker 9: When you touch it? Ooh ooh ooh ooh, give me
a second.
Speaker 1: Mmm, mh A name comes to your mind? You touch it, okay,
you feel the magic, brewer, you feel the magic underneath
the pratrifification, and a name comes to your mind dread.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, then if a war forged could show happiness,
you would see it. The best that's happening is his his.
What would normally be like a light, almost pastel pink
flame has become a dark, almost mauve, the colors deepening,
becoming more rich as he starts to draw in deep
within himself and cast greater restoration. Return to me, Dread.
We have a fight to win, not to the Queen
I've been like, not to you, my Queen, my Empress,
but we have a fight to continue, and I'm gonna
cast greater restoration to remove petrification.
Speaker 1: Okay, So when you cast greater restoration and you had
your hand on Dread, the magic that courses through your
fingertips hits the night and it nothing happens initially as
the spell is cast, but then you feel as the
spell is cast and you feel the magic leaving the
tips of your fingers to the statue. What follows is
a burst of lightning from your hands, like just as
the magic did before. And as the lightning courses through
the statue, you start seeing cracks immerse from the statue,
revealing the armor as pieces are falling off and petrifications.
You feel you see the night moving underneath as the
stones start falling to the ground. As because he has
his he has his arm up with his great sword
pointed up, and he drops the great sword and the
great sword lands lands on the floor and makes a
loud sound as his arm kind of starts moving and
slowly just drops as he falls to his Uh falls
to his knees and his hands onto the ground. As
he is coming back to life, the petrification drops and
the guys, you two in the back, you see that
this statue comes to life in a very similar way. Actually, no,
y'all didn't see.
Speaker 2: Because I was in the skull. I kind of like that.
Speaker 1: That's right. You gotta get an ideas, like, wow, is
this what happened with myth when he came back? Because
even though y'all didn't see it, he did. He told
you that he was a statue and then all of
a sudden life you kind of get the ideas of God,
this is what happened to him, or and and or
you're like, oh god, there's another one. So how many
nights did I tell you in total? Were there?
Speaker 2: I do not remember. I did not take that too.
Speaker 1: I do not remember either, And he to listen back
because I don't know. I don't remember how many I
told you. I think five, but I'll listen back to
the episode and I'll get the exact number. But yes,
the night comes back and he's the but the obsidian
colored armor is glistening from the light. Finding on it.
It is absolutely stoning. It's like brand new armor and
just shines of the darkness that's on that the color
of it, and he kind of it's on his knees
and he's just like what He looks up and he
sees and he sees you men.
Speaker 2: He's like reach out. He's like, mess, yes, it is.
Speaker 1: It's me brother, all right, And you reach out your hand.
Speaker 2: And I offer it to help him stand up, and.
Speaker 1: He grabs a hold of it and he stands up.
His legs a little wabblay as he gets back up, but
then he gets it. He gets his footing and he
grabs h slowly grabs a hold of his sword after
he gets his bearings, and he's like he's looking around,
where where are we?
Speaker 2: That is going to be a story for another time.
Just you've been asleep for a very long time. And
the world renn s new, was destroyed and reborn.
Speaker 1: And he turns around and sees and sees the Empress
and her advisor and snow white. It's like, oh the statue,
Oh the statue was someone petrified and the advisor kind
of just eyes widened, kind of shaking. Is He's kind
of like, what the fuck Aleen's over and he whispers again,
and she's like that doesn't matter, doesn't matter who that is.
And she looks over to myth and Freed and tauma,
well you have your statue or you have your She
looks him up and down. M friend, tell me the
information I need.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick up my hammer and hand it to Dread.
I can do more than just tell you the information. Okay,
you mind? If I approach you.
Speaker 1: The Empress nods, yes.
Speaker 2: I will, because I get to pull up the D
and D thing. I will basically approach her.
Speaker 7: Huh.
Speaker 2: I will kneel down as if I'm getting ready to
swear my feelty to her and reach out for her
hand and she extends it out. Now, will look her
in the face and YAsO.
Speaker 1: You mother, you're lying, You are lying, you are lying.
Speaker 2: I've got giob.
Speaker 1: What does Gios do? Oh God? Because I know I
know davey us on her captain of the Guard, Rapunzel.
But where's exacts exactly?
Speaker 2: Due you place the command on a creature you see,
forcing it to do or refrain from doing some action
or activity you decide. The command can be anything except
something that would obviously cause the target to die the
creature can't. If the creature can't understand you, the spell
has no effect. If it can, it must succeed on
a wisdom saving throw or become charmed by you out
of here. It takes five D ten psychic damage each
time it does something that directly counters your instructions, but
no more than once each day.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's a wisdom saving throw. Correct? Yes, Oh, Rady,
Let's see. Let me look at something real quick, because
you're dealing with somebody who doesn't jam it, wizard Ray,
let me see. Did I give her anything that would
immune her from a mute, her from term? Uh, you're
kidding me? Did I not own my god? Let's see,
son of a bitch youse, Son of a bitch. Okay,
she's gonna have to roll for wisdom. It's not a
high roll, but okay, so indeed twenty and that would
be a plus two thirteen.
Speaker 2: What I'm just that was a fist pump of relief.
Speaker 1: Oh God, you got her, didn't you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gotta be to sixteen.
Speaker 1: Fuck me, Okay, what do you tell her.
Speaker 2: Until the spell? The duration of this spell ends, none
of your actions will impede me or the crew that
I'm attached to.
Speaker 1: So you're making her basically, Actually.
Speaker 2: I'll make it one word, and it's gonna be a
mean word.
Speaker 1: Oh god, what.
Speaker 2: I'm debating on either sleep or just nah? I like that,
don't impeaede because it gives me more options. If she sleeps,
then she can still her guard can attack. No, no
direct impeding of our actions. So she's just not allowed
whatever we do for the next thirty days, she cannot
directly stop.
Speaker 1: Motheruck. Well, okay, what level did you cast it at?
Speaker 2: Five?
Speaker 1: Because if you catch at high enough level, doesn't it
go on for.
Speaker 7: Like a year or some shit?
Speaker 2: Uh? So I don't have any higher level.
Speaker 1: Oh got it? Got it? Got it?
Speaker 7: So you do that.
Speaker 1: So you grab old in your hand and you say
that as the magic courses through her veins and she
kind of you can feel her kind of shake, as
her eyes glow, and you see it does.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's thirty days.
Speaker 1: Thirty days, and you see that your magic is affecting her.
And she slowly pulls back her hand and she's like,
how did wear you?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 1: She's and she wants to and she pulls out her step.
She puts out her the mirror that she's holding, and
like she's gonna cast the magic and she can't, and
she's she can, Oh okay.
Speaker 2: She just if she tries to, she takes five D
ten psychic damage. She can't do and she takes damage.
Speaker 1: Oh so she takes damage if she does. Oh shit, Okay, Well,
I mean, I mean she is gonna do it the
first time because she's not gonna know any better. Uh,
I mean she will, but she's she's like, nah, you
didn't get me.
Speaker 2: All right, then I will rule my five D ten.
Speaker 1: Yeap roll five D ten. It doesn't matter what she
does anyway, not too much.
Speaker 2: It's only twenty six.
Speaker 1: She takes twenty six saga damage when she casts. She's
casting like a whole person, Like she's just trying to
restrain you. And she does that, it's the spell stops
and then you feel and then she kind of drops her.
She drops her, and she's like she starts screaming from
the agony from the damage that's heading her.
Speaker 2: I'm also gonna kneel down. I wouldn't do that again,
and I'm gonna take the mirror.
Speaker 1: Okay, so roll a strength check. We're going to do
competing strength. Okay, oh god, well she's not well, she's
not very strong.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Hm sixteen, yeah too, Yeah, you take that, you take
the thing, you take it from her and the wind
and her advisor is looking at you, looking at you
and looking at her. She's like and he's like, I'm
I'm free.
Speaker 2: I mean unless she has something holding you. Spell wides
join us and yea, you'll be at least free for
the next thirty days.
Speaker 1: And snow White glares at him, and he looks down
at her and he's like, you don't have anything of mine.
Now I'm fucking leaving. And he hops down and he
starts making his way past the two Nights.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: Actually, he hops down next to Meth and he puts
out his hand to take his mirror.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hold on to this for just a second,
just a little extra insurance. I have somebody that's interested
in it. Maybe you might be interested in them as well.
Speaker 8: He narrows his eyes, MND, I have no ill will
towards you.
Speaker 1: Okay. He gos his hand and he is in. He's
just like, thank you, and he starts walking past you,
and he's like, I'm getting the fuck out of here,
and he starts heading towards meth and Freed, and the
Empress is behooved.
Speaker 2: She's just like, what the fuck, I'm gonna spin on
my heels. Facer. I would say, it's been a pleasure,
my Empress, but it hasn't been I do, and I
will just walk straight out the way we came in.
You maybe the armory. What do you think boys?
Speaker 3: You lead the way. I'm still confused, as fucked by
the way over the table.
Speaker 6: Yeah, also over the table. I did not know that
I missed an episode of Kogios because that was exactly
something l loose lampredge would do. Yees and fucking get
away with it.
Speaker 1: Exactly, Mother, I forgot. I didn't know you had geos.
Damn fuck my.
Speaker 2: My entire plane banked on that working.
Speaker 1: Oh oh my god. And I can't even be mad
because I didn't give her immunity immunity to be and
that's on me. And I thought that makes sense because
I'm like, hey, no one's gonna be able, no one's
gonna tread charm her nah nah, never fucking bitch, fucking bitch,
oh my god. So as you're slowly walking out, you
walk over to Dread, and you walk with Dread back
to the gate and snow white, oh door, yeah, and snow.
The Empress yells, you're never gonna stop him.
Speaker 2: My plan isn't to stop anybody. My plan is just
to get my soldiers back.
Speaker 1: Then she starts laughing, You're not gonna be able to
do that if he gets if he gets to the realm, sounds.
Speaker 2: Like that's somebody else's problem.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 8: As he she looks as you walk out, she's like that,
they'll have your hat for this, not for the next
thirty days.
Speaker 1: You won't, Oh my god. And she just starts she
starts losing her fucking mind, screaming as you walk out,
as the as you walk out with the doors opened
and the doors close behind you, and the guards are
on the outside pointing their swords at you. But before
they do anything, snow white snow up a gust slams open.
The doors open in the night and snow white. It's
like no that dimly and and they're all looking at
the Empress and you're like what. She's like, I said,
let them leave, and then I'd stop and go information
and they just and they let you all pass as
you leave, the Empress walks up to you.
Speaker 7: Meth uh, you all smarted me this time.
Speaker 1: You're never getting that chance again.
Speaker 2: But we need out you one time because the next
time and I'm gonna place my hand on my hammer
and it's just gonna crackle with divine energy. I'm not
using magic.
Speaker 1: She doesn't flinch, She doesn't flinch from that at all.
She just looked she would just would just anger and
rage on her face.
Speaker 7: So you know that way, Oh.
Speaker 1: That just buggles her rage. Oh, she said, you fucking
skrink earth bitch. And as you're walking away, she's like,
there's someone in your party that's lion to you. It's
lying to you all. I give you that information.
Speaker 2: On your way out, I'm just gonna close the door
in her face.
Speaker 1: Oh oh you motherfucker. Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Up. You did it?
Speaker 1: You sure did? You share fucking did? Oh my god.
So you slammed the door in her face and he's
just seeing behind behind the door and she's like, fuck this,
and she turns around starts walking up to the throne.
And as you're walking, you hear you start hearing rumbling
sounds and what sounds of powerful magic being brewed. As
as you're hearing this loud noise coming from the throne room,
and Dread's looking back and he's like, uh, I don't
like that, myth.
Speaker 2: What is she doing? Well? I mean, it can't be
anything to stop us while we're in the castle, so
I'd say we're safe for now. But once we leave
this castle, I can't imagine it's standing much longer.
Speaker 1: And Dread's kind of just looking back, getting very uneasy,
and he's like, do you sense that.
Speaker 2: The magic or something else?
Speaker 1: Magic? But a lot of it, not not from one person.
And he starts running back towards the door. What is yeah?
So as he's running back towards the door, he opens
up the doorway to the throne room again and he
sees the Empress behind at the throne in front of
a very large portal. Do any of you guys follow her?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say no, I'm because follow I'm gonna say no,
but I am gonna be like, let's not follow her
for now? Brother? Oh no?
Speaker 1: He goes back. You say that, you hear the door open,
and you hear sounds of like a portal that's opened
that's spewing magic. Uncontrollably, and she looks at the portal,
looks back at Dread and the whizz and the white
haired advisor, the antlered white haired advisor that's with you.
Mith starts running back. She's like oh. He's like, oh god,
su as she starts walking through the portal, and when
it closes, it blasts a force out kind of like
a explosion. It kind of sinks in like a black
hole and explodes out as the castle shakes from the
force of the magic. And Dread's standing there and going
what the fuck? And the man is like fuck. As
he is in the doorway with Dread. He's like, this
isn't good. This isn't good. No, this is not good.
This is bad. And he's like this is bad. This
is terrible, and he's kind of having a meltdown. What
are y'all doing?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna place a hand on him. I'll let you
take that.
Speaker 1: Did it.
Speaker 3: Okay? Sorry?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Maybe we should be running away from the exploding portal.
Speaker 2: The portals.
Speaker 1: The portals closed by it released a force of magic
that's spread throughout the castle that shook it. So it's done,
is just it's just it had a lot of power
behind it.
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe we should be going the other way.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree, Captain. However, as pirates, I'm pretty sure
we're a fan of gold and a weapon, and this
entire castle is filled with that ship, and we have
free reign right now, and the.
Speaker 1: And the advisors like gold and weapons are the only
thing you care about right now?
Speaker 2: Chanted items, huh? And enchanted items. We get enchanted items.
There's gotta be some magic shit in that treasury.
Speaker 1: He's like, there is, but is that all you care?
Do you realize what she just did?
Speaker 2: No, but we'll probably find out later, probably for me,
unless you want to tell us right now as we're
walking to the treasury, unless your legs in your mouth
don't work at the same time, come on, how to soldier?
Speaker 6: I was like, what if I roll our cord at
to see if I recognize what kind of magic she
was using?
Speaker 1: That was magic that was eighteen within eighteen Uh, you
know what the portal to somewhere. But the magic that
was spewing from the portal was not from the portal itself.
It was from the location that she was the instant too. Yeah,
you feel strong magic. Wherever she was going is a
place of pure magic.
Speaker 6: I know what realm this is, do you. I mean
you showed us a list earlier, didn't you.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's a realm that's sealed away
from everything else that I've hinted at throughout this whole game.
And Freed is from said world or his mother's from
said world realm, I should say.
Speaker 6: So now I'm deeply concerned because what is she going
to do in Starovia.
Speaker 1: And myth a myth Freed Stovia. You've heard that name before,
You've heard that name from your He quotes mother and
the and the advisors, like, yes, Servia the realm of
magic that has cut off from the rest of Avatira.
Her goal is to take that place for her own
so she can be the most powerful castor in Avatira.
And she just went straight in.
Speaker 2: Well, like I said, she can't do anything that will
directly impede our freedom for the next thirty days, so
we at least have thirty days of her not being
able to do anything to this realm.
Speaker 1: And he's just like he pinches the bridge of his
nose and he's just like, God, this would only get
so much, this would be so much worse. He's actually,
he says, the only thing that would make this worse
is if someone told me Leo is here?
Speaker 2: Is that a small squirrel? What orange funny hat? A
little arrogant.
Speaker 7: Own. He's like, oh god, he's here?
Speaker 2: Is he?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 2: Why me? He's not here? We've seen him recently?
Speaker 1: Fuck god, you know what? Fuck it? And he's leads
the way. It leads you to the treasury. Oh god, iha.
And he starts leading you to the treasury and he's like,
he looks, he's looks back at you, turns around, he's
walking backwards. She mentioned a person in your group that's
been talking with her. Correct.
Speaker 2: I don't know if she's a talking She just said lying.
So that means a lot of different things. Okay, you
could just be lying about what she wears for underwear,
lies about what she had for breakfast, or lying about
who she is as a person. We don't know. We'll
find out.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're pirates.
Speaker 2: We all lie. It's what we do. M Okay.
Speaker 1: So he turns around and he's like, that's a problem
for another day, I guess. And he's like, well, they
can't hurt us here, so or anyone they can't hurt us.
She can't hurt us, or anyone connected to her can't
hurt us otherwise it hurts hers. So he starts walking.
They walk past guards, and the guards look at each
other like they should do something, but they don't, but
they or were instructed obviously not to.
Speaker 2: So he likes to look at them and lie and
be like she casts some crazy magic that she said
was gonna bring this castle down. She said something about
like thirty minutes. If I were you, guys, unless you
have any personal attachment to this, I'd get at them.
Speaker 1: Roll me a persuasion check.
Speaker 2: One second. Can I do deception because I'm technically lying?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, yes's deception, yeah.
Speaker 2: Nineteen let me see.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, they believe you. They're like what and some
of the I started running off as as you hear
yelling down the hallway as the gathering all the knights
and all the guard and the baron and they and
you assume they start heading the hell out son of
a bitch, fucking bitch. As the white haired individual the
advisor leads you to a room and he's and he
holds out his hand, May I have my mirror please?
Speaker 2: Well, the Queen's not here, So what about to say?
It doesn't matter unless.
Speaker 3: M h.
Speaker 1: It's the key to the It's the key to this room.
I need the mirror.
Speaker 2: How do I use it?
Speaker 7: You can't.
Speaker 1: I would have to use use it.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. I have somebody very interested in the
mirror for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: I don't know the it's mine, it is my grimoire.
Speaker 2: One second, Oh my god, one second. I don't have
anything that could help me here. Please give it back
and I will give it back. I have no reason
to lie to you.
Speaker 1: Who wants it?
Speaker 2: The leader of the uh HM rebels, the rebel leader,
rebel Alian.
Speaker 1: What's their name? Oh wait a stops wait.
Speaker 2: Cinder, that was.
Speaker 1: Sender wants my fucking mirror.
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't know it was yours to begin with,
but apparently yes, I'm.
Speaker 1: Going to tell you that is not a good idea
to give her your give her the mirror? Why not?
And he looks over to Freed. What did What do
you know about Cinder?
Speaker 3: I just drug.
Speaker 2: She's paying us, that she is paying us and pirates.
We do honor our contracts.
Speaker 1: Okay, did you promise you anything in return of the mirror?
If you give her the mirror.
Speaker 2: I don't did he did?
Speaker 7: She yes?
Speaker 1: I She said, if you give her the mirror, he
will give you something you desire.
Speaker 2: She said that if we give her the mirror, we
would get something that we want. We want that we desire.
And I'm going to point to.
Speaker 1: The cap what the captain said when you when you
say the word desire, he has like his look turns
into disgust. Mm hmm. I'm going to tell you something.
Do not trust her. Do not give her that mirror.
That mirror is not good, is not does not belong,
does not need to be in her hands.
Speaker 2: Then I will ask you one question, Wizard, and I
expect honesty.
Speaker 1: I have no reason why.
Speaker 2: How did he get here? What brought him here? And
I'm gonna point to Dread. You seem surprised that my
brother was in your statue.
Speaker 1: And he looks to looks to Dread and he's like, well,
I just assumed he was. It was just it was
just a statue. I didn't know that he was.
Speaker 6: In.
Speaker 1: And he's looking up and down an artificer outside of you.
Point it looks to you, myth. I didn't know there's
any more there were any more artificers. I know there
are legends of ers the war not artificers. Sorry, Warforge.
Oh my god, I've been saying artificer this whole time,
fucking Warforge. He's like, I've heard legends of war Forge,
but I never knew they were actually real until I
saw it, until I've seen you. But apparently there are
more of y'all. I don't know how he got here
or of course his castle does not belong to well,
it belongs to the Empress now, but initially was another king,
another ruler was in charge. I don't know how they
acquired your friend. He probably didn't even know your friend
was alive. Air quotes.
Speaker 2: I'll hand him the mirror. I'm giving you your Grimore.
I'm not handing you a mirror that she wants, and
I'll let it go. Well, I mean like, once he
grabs it, let it go. I'm not going to drop
his gmar. That would be disrespectful.
Speaker 7: And yeah, I mean the I mean the mirror.
Speaker 1: What the mirror is is Gridmore and that is the
mirror that Cinder wants.
Speaker 7: Yes, did you know what?
Speaker 2: I don't know? Yeah, doesn't hurt Cinder. She asked for
a mirror. She did not sacrify.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 7: That is true.
Speaker 1: So he grab he grabs the mirror, and he's just like,
he feels the power. You see magic coursing through the
mirror back into his body. He's just like, oh God,
I'm usin this mirror so much. The fucking bitch has
had it for so long. Oh And he looks to
the room and he raises up the mirror, the reflection
pointing towards the door as magic shines from it, and
the door opens and opens to a room with I
mean treasure, gold items, weapons of all that sort, all
the riches that were left over from the previous ruler.
Speaker 2: Any fancy mirrors, any fancy mirrors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a fancy mirror.
Speaker 2: Okay. That hand mirror, Okay, that's better. I was expecting
like a grained one, like a big one, but I
will take a hand mirror. That's even better, a hand mirror.
Any like, can we just say, can we look for
any like special like start with looking for Actually, I'm
just gonna do this. I'm gonna cass the detect magic
and specifically look for any sort of magic items, and
then I'm gonna look towards dread read and Tama. If
you guys, actually Toma, you got good magic, so help
me find any magical items. You two grab as much
gold as we can physically carry. Sound like a right?
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm the captain here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I beat the empress, so.
Speaker 3: Hold on on like like, don't interrupt me.
Speaker 5: I was gonna just like, hey, I'm the captain here,
and yes, that does sound a good like a good plan,
And I just go and start gathering as.
Speaker 3: Much as cold as possible.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Wizard, do you have a bag of holding? Wizard? What
is your name? Calling you wizard is disrespectful?
Speaker 1: My name is not important at the moment, would.
Speaker 2: With a hint of irritation, because I've already been very nice.
Speaker 1: H uh, he thinks, Lee, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 7: I'm thinking of a random name.
Speaker 2: Lee. I mean he could give us a random I
don't care. I just need something to call him. Do
you have a bag of holding that I could borrow
for the moment?
Speaker 1: Yes, and he hands you. He puts his hand in
the mirror and puts out a bag of holding. This
back of holding is powerful and it can hold a
ton of crap.
Speaker 2: We just need it for the golden items. We'll give
it back once you're done, if you don't mind, I'm
not gonna take it. I'm not.
Speaker 1: You gave me my you gave me back my grimoire.
You could keep the back of holding for all I care.
Speaker 2: Bag of holding is fine. I'm just gonna call it.
I'm gonna toss it to freedom fit as much as
you can in there.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't believe you a.
Speaker 3: A mock salute.
Speaker 1: As you're just shoving gold in there, shoving golden items. Now,
as far as the items go, we're gonna have to
do TB A on that.
Speaker 2: That's fine. I kind of expected this much. You probably
didn't expect this to go as far as you didn't.
Speaker 7: No, no, I did not expect this.
Speaker 1: Did I expect this part this toon? I'm like, well, shit, okay.
So they're shoving in gold and items, and you and
Tama go around looking for magical items, and you do
find some, and of course you put them in the
bag of holding, and the gold the determin gold amount
and the item amount will be determined later. As you
pack everything up, and you you cleaned out a good
chunk of the I would say you took everything, but
maybe like twenty five percent of what was in the room.
Does your bag of holding filled up? So you felt
so you got about everything, but like the like the
scraps was lack nothing, and you're like, we took everything
of value. God, this is gonna be the end of me.
And the way Wizard is watching you all and he's
like he's looking at his grimoire and he notices a
that uh as he's reading. As he's reading, looking at
the mirror, you can see him like reading, and he says,
fuck the bitch got rid of my own God, damn it,
this little fucking He starts cussing up a storm and
he's like, okay, so I can't get back home now.
He's just like, that's great. I can't get back to
ster Ravia. That's fabulous. How am I? How the fuck
am I gonna get back home? And he's saying out
loud to himself and he's just like he turns around
to the rest of y'all. To y'all as you're finishing
up packing up the treasure, I have a favor to
ask of you three.
Speaker 2: Would it be the first what's up for payment?
Speaker 1: You will be paid accordingly. I need to get back
two Starovia. But the Empress took out my gateway to Sharovia,
and he holds up his grim, his mirror. She took
by one way to take it back. So if you three,
and I'm assuming your pirate crew, want to go with
me and help me get back to to Rovia, I
will pay you handsomely.
Speaker 7: Hmm.
Speaker 1: Now this is gonna be a lie. Now this could
This is gonna be very dangerous, so you will be
paid accordingly. This is not gonna be an easy trip
since we don't got away in we have to go
about things a different way, to find different way. He's like, huh,
We're gonna have to go find a house a manner
to be specific, a house that will lead us to Suovia.
It's a house so many many doors and many many rooms,
and this place has an entrance to every realm, including Sarovia.
I didn't want to go in there, but it looks
like I have no other option. And I have a
feeling you your pirate crew is going to have to
go there anyway, because well, the Empress is doing there,
and whoever she's told you about your crew, about your
somebody on your crew that's lying. I feel like there's
something going on that could be potentially dangerous to everyone
here and everyone there. I didn't know her, I don't
know her plans, so uh uh, I can't talk today.
I don't know her plans specifically, but I do know
she was trying to get to Stovia to take to
harness the magic, the raw magic there, and use it
to take over the rest of rest of Evatira. That
includes she points as, that includes your home here. We
can if you decide you want to take on this,
I will gather everyone that that is in your party.
Speaker 7: And we can.
Speaker 1: In kind of stops. Do you have a ship I'm
assuming you do, But do you have a ship near here?
Speaker 2: We do?
Speaker 1: Great, great, great, fabulous. So if you guys agree, I
will transport us back to your ship with every with
the crew, with your crew, because we are not We
are not going back to Cinder unless you want to
deliver her the mirror.
Speaker 2: I promised.
Speaker 1: Okay, we will go. Okay, okay, we will go, and
I we'll disguise the fact that we entered. You will
drop off the mirror, and then you will go on
our way.
Speaker 2: I mean, she knows you don't have your mirror right.
She knows the Queen has it right obviously if she
sent us here. Yes, as long as you don't open
your mouth and don't tell her you have your mirror back,
and just say the Queen took it and bounced to Starovia,
which would obviously make sense. She took your mirror because
your mirror had the ability to go there. She won't
know she took that the mirror away, that ability went
from your mirror. Cinder is at that point under the
impression the Queen still has your mirror and is now
in Steruovia, which she can't.
Speaker 1: Touch her, and you want to use Cinder to help
get there.
Speaker 7: I'm assuming.
Speaker 2: She has reasons to want the mirror, okay.
Speaker 1: And he's like, okay, I see what you're throwing down.
You want to go back to Cinder, tell her, oh,
the Empress bounce with the mirror in question, and you're
hoping or assuming that she is going to help you
all in some way to get to said mirror because
she wants it that badly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I'm not going to say
she has a direct way, but it's better than.
Speaker 1: Well she does. She doesn't have a direct way, but
I'm sure she can help us take I'm sure she
can help us with half halfway through the trip to
get to that, to get to the manor, and then
we can go from there. And he's like, cool, and
it's all you need to know. And he raises up
his mirror as it starts glowing, as you're all already
packed up the bag of holding, and you.
Speaker 2: All which I really want somewhere, huh, I said, would
you really want to teleport us when you're not supposed
to have your mirror?
Speaker 1: And she and he's like, she's not gonna know. I
can disguise the magic. She ain't gonna tell nothing. She
has no idea how this. I mean, she might have
an idea how this mirror works, but I've had a
lot longer than she's ever known about it. So all this, guys,
it's not that big. It's it's she won't even have
to know. I'm there. As he changed, as his hair changes,
turns black and looks more like a human, is Antler
is Antler's shrink back into his skull, and he disguises
himself as a normal human. I'm just a normal human
after all. And from there a circle of the magic
mirror glows and sends transports everybody back to the headquarters
for the rebellion. Okay, so where's everybody, gotcha? Coolt so pace,
you don't need that. We'll have dread here and then
we'll have lee. As everyone comes back. We he teleports
everybody to a location just outside of the of the
rebel headquarters and you all walk in from there like nothing,
nothing happened. No one saw you. He disguised the matical
didn't catch any radars or anything, and you just walk
in and everyone kind of just stops and looked at you,
and they're like, oh they're back. Oh wow, what happened?
And everyone's like what happened? As they know that you
were going into the to the castle and as everyone's
kind of uh causing a ruckus, Scarlett runs up and
he and she's like you're you're back. Did you what happened?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: H yeah, we you know, we totally had it.
Speaker 1: I totally had it.
Speaker 2: I lied to get our way in and then I
can't gios on the Empress to prevent her from stopping
us from leaving. Here we are.
Speaker 1: And Scarl's like you what and as she's like you
what the doors. The doors at the very northern end
of the room fly open as Cinder walks out, and
she looks and she looks down at yas she starts
walking down the stairs. She's like, oh, you've returned.
Speaker 2: Yes, I am assuming the visit.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming the visit was set with Empress snow White
went well.
Speaker 2: Yes, I did have to lie a little bit, and
then I used gios to stop her from letting us leaving.
I did find a nice mirror, though I don't know
if it's what you're looking for. And I handed to
her and she she.
Speaker 1: Kind of holds back her laughter when you mentioned you
geosed her, and she's like, fucking worthless. She's like, she
wonders under her breath, fucking worthless humans. And she looks
at the mirror and she's like, no, this is not
the mirror I wanted.
Speaker 2: It was in the treasury.
Speaker 1: No, the mirror I wanted was the one she was,
the one that she has with her.
Speaker 2: MM, the one she took this to Rovia. That would
be an issue.
Speaker 1: And Sinder looks at the mirror, drops it. When you
say stro she turns her head slowly to you.
Speaker 2: She did, what, well, do you want the long event
or the short story, get to the point. She got
really mad when I cast Gias on her, took some
damage because she tried to hurt me, and then got
really angry when I gave her some sass, and then
teleported to a world with magic that's basically all magic.
We all just assumed it was Throvia.
Speaker 1: Where's the where's the where's the wizard?
Speaker 7: That was with her?
Speaker 2: White beard, white haired dude, fucking weird ass handlers.
Speaker 1: Like he, yes, that's one.
Speaker 2: He went with her, at least I think so she
had it and with her last time I checked, we
just kind of ran.
Speaker 1: And she turns around and throws the mirror at the
wall as a shouts. She's like, fuck, okay, hmmm, So
now you need to get to Sarovia because you need
to get that mirror for me.
Speaker 2: Why do you need that mirror so badly?
Speaker 7: Mmm?
Speaker 1: That's for me to know and you to never find out.
That's not the concern here. The concern is you need
to get that mirror, let alone. You need to stop
her from mess from just from taking over Sarovia, because
that is no good for anybody, including me. So here's
what's gonna happen. As she starts starts barking orders to
everyone around us are starting to run around and gathering things.
I can't help you get to Serovia because I don't
have a way there, but I could sure as hell
help you get to the place that you could go
into to get to Serovia. And she starts getting She
walks over to the maint to the table that has
like the hologram of like the War of Avatira, and
she punches. She slams her fist into the table as
magic forms up to like a hologram. Okay, so you
need to get to your little pirate ship, which I
will give you supplies and a way to get to
the in between. Do you know what the in between is?
As she looks to you, all Nope, never heard it, No, lovely,
So the in between if you need to know. So,
Storovia is a world tree at its core, and each
branch is a particular realm, almost like a bunch of
pocket realms in a big old tree. So the in
between is what we call the space in between. Each
realm or branch it its own realm itself, but it's
outside of the other realm. It is also a place
of very some unpleasant things, a lot of the spirits,
a lot of the lot of horrific stuff is in
the in between, So this will not be an easy trip.
I can get you into the in between, and I
can get you all set on finding a manner in
the in between. And she and the holograms are showing.
The in between shows a space between the the mortal
realm that you are in, as well as a branch
next to it, which would be the infernal realm realm.
So in between these two realms, the mortal realm that
we are currently in and the realm of demons and
imps is a part of the end between that has
a manner in it. Now, this manner is like any
other house or mansion, but it is a from what
I can I know of it, it is a husk
of and she kind of pauses as she tries the
former words. Basically, something that's in shape of a house
shredded some husk and left this shell of a house
in the middle of the in between, and this realm
or this house became a home of something horrifying, and
it connected itself to the other realms of Avatra. You
get into this realm. You you get into this realm
and you maneuver yourself through the maze labyrinth that's inside
of this manner, and you can find your entrance way
to Strorovia. You have to find the owner of the
house and you would have to ask him politely. So
what he's gonna and what they are gonna do is
you're gonna have to offer something that they're gonna want,
and if you want your way in, you're gonna have
to give it to him for them. You've got to
give it to them, do you understand?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, sure, And she kind.
Speaker 1: Of just looks at you all she roll she turns around,
rolls her eyes and she's just like time also works
differently in the manner. So what could be a few
minutes for you could be several months outside the manner,
or depending on the day until time, several hours for
you could mean seconds here outside of the matter. So
the manner's time is distorted beyond belief. Time does not
mean anything there. You could die, some of you might die.
But if you're willing to do the well to go
through it, as I said, you bring me the mirror,
you get your greatest desire.
Speaker 7: But now.
Speaker 1: On top of giving me the mirror, kill the Empress.
I want her dead body.
Speaker 2: Do we have a deal, heaptain.
Speaker 5: Well, she's gonna pose. She's gonna be a bigger problem now.
I mean, you know, you know, as the old saying goes, yeah,
you just gotta put the bitch down.
Speaker 1: Jesus damn scars, just like what looks God looks over
a freak going what.
Speaker 2: Great?
Speaker 1: As she claps her hands and magic starts forming around you,
all around everybody, including your new teammates, Dread and the
new human As with y'all, I will take you back
to your ship and give you enough supplies to get
you two that and I will give you a way
to leave this realm, to go into the in between,
and once you get into the manor, it's all up
to you from there to get to Surovia. Counting on you, lovely,
she collapsed and you vanish and you return back onto
your ship. And that is where we're ending today's episode.
So thank you all for listening today's episode. Catch us
next time as we start on this new adventure to
the end Between. Until then, Bye bye,
