00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:08,519
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:17,199
covering Dungeon Crawler Carl chapters thirty seven through forty one.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,239
In these chapters, somebody pisses on the wall and all

4
00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:37,600
fucking hell breaks loose. You know, just follow instructions. How

5
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:44,119
hard is it? Don't answer that. Welcome to spoil Me,

6
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,439
Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you

7
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,239
very much to Michael for commissioning this episode. Yeah, Michael

8
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,640
says in the chat, fucking Jack. It's unclear to me,

9
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:19,799
they say later on, he knew, we told him, We

10
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:24,599
explained it to him, and that's all will and good.

11
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,959
I don't know how like with it Jack really was,

12
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:33,519
you know what I'm saying. It's hard for me to tell,

13
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:40,480
because sometimes elderly folks will pretend to be a little

14
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:42,840
bit less understanding than they really are, just so that

15
00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:45,040
they can kind of do what they want, which I

16
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:51,680
honestly totally respect. But yeah, it's definitely like, how much

17
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,439
did he understand what you were asking of him? It's unclear.

18
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,439
I don't really know if this is something that can

19
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:06,400
be even quantified. But the like the mention earlier of well,

20
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:09,240
I have some dependens, I think is like basically what

21
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:14,400
she's saying, I had a feeling that wasn't gonna do

22
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:21,240
the job. Look, there comes a point in all our

23
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,400
lives if we live long enough where stuff just stops

24
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,919
quite working right dodgy plumbing, and you gotta be either like,

25
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,680
you gotta figure out how you're gonna cope. Are you

26
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:38,639
gonna be in denial and do a bunch of stuff

27
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:43,280
that's sort of like extra effort to get around acknowledging

28
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:47,479
this change. Are you going to take medications and whatnot?

29
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,560
Or are you going to just slap on a pair

30
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:54,599
of depends and be like, this is just the life

31
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:57,879
that I have now and try and roll with it.

32
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:01,240
I am not saying that one is better than the other.

33
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,080
For the record, I can really understand fighting against it,

34
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,439
because there is an element of humiliation in there, of shame.

35
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,800
You know. It sucks to feel like, how come I'm

36
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,879
older now? I have to pee every fucking half hour,

37
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:23,319
like even closer together than that, And sometimes if you

38
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:25,439
have to go bad enough, you straight up can't hold

39
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:29,800
it anymore. I can't imagine I am forty years old

40
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,199
and I'm already facing that weird thing where your body's

41
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:36,000
bluetooth hooks with the bluetooth in your bathroom when you

42
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:39,000
reach your front door from the car, and so you

43
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:42,080
aren't even in the front door, but already your body's like,

44
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,080
we're in the bathroom and it's trying to start going

45
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:47,919
and you're not even in the front door yet. I'm

46
00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:51,280
only forty years old and I already have that, So like,

47
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,120
add on another thirty years. It can't be good. It

48
00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:00,479
cannot get better, It only gets worse. I want to

49
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:06,840
have some sympathy for him, but it's difficult. It is

50
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:11,759
really hard, you know. I just really am so angry

51
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,560
because the level of hell that he brings down on everybody,

52
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,600
and like it's not even like he has to suffer

53
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:26,439
through it. Instead, I think it's Ylanda right that kills him,

54
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,600
and so he has made her commit murder in this

55
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,439
brutal way to try and save everybody else, and then

56
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,439
that didn't even work. That's not even it didn't even

57
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,319
do anything. She shot him, and the elemental has already

58
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,199
been summoned, so it's too late. So it's just he

59
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:55,480
has just inflicted a level of suffering on everybody. That Ah,

60
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,879
it's hard for me to forgive. That's all I'm saying.

61
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:04,120
Let's begin at the beginning, though. We start on chapter

62
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,879
thirty seven with all of these grubs pouring into the

63
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,480
safe room, and understandably, Carl is a little puzzled why

64
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,600
they're not just like immediately teleporting away, and I also

65
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:22,399
was sort of expecting this, and Mordecai has to explain

66
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:26,480
they don't teleport away until they attack you, and these

67
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:30,439
grubs basically there's no method of attack. They can't do it,

68
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:38,000
so nothing happens because they're not like they're just like floppy,

69
00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:41,839
little stuffed animals. At one point, Carl says that I'm

70
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,639
able to pick up a grub and put it in

71
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,199
my lap and nothing happens, because it just doesn't, you know.

72
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:54,879
And I think the fact that if you left the

73
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,480
door open long enough, and because these grubs don't attack,

74
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:05,160
that this safe room in quotes could fill with enough

75
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:13,800
grubs that it could potentially crush you. Is I feel

76
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,120
like that now is no longer a safe room. Maybe

77
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,319
that's just me, maybe that's just where I'm coming from

78
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,160
on this, but I just think that there should probably

79
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:29,000
be some sort of fine print that they can pull

80
00:06:29,079 --> 00:06:36,839
up a lawsuit for this, and oh my god, Michael

81
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,800
in the chat says, Yolanda is how everyone thinks they

82
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,120
will be when it's time to be heroic. COVID showed

83
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:48,800
us that most people would be jack. Though, Michael, you

84
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:55,600
just fucking a whole sermon, a whole sermon. It's so true.

85
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,879
I hate it, and it's true. That just impressed me

86
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:08,639
so bad. Thanks a lot, Michael. So Carl realizes that

87
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,079
they are like following on their trail. They're coming to

88
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:14,920
the safe room for them, and he pulls up his

89
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,439
map and sees that there are thousands and they are

90
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:23,000
all heading in their direction. What the hell is this,

91
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:26,560
I asked Mordecai. I've never seen anything like this. Not

92
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:32,240
on the second floor. They're being spawned. Yeah, no shit,

93
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:37,160
I said. Every floor has a waste disposal system. He continued,

94
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:40,600
so far you've seen rats and the grubs. The more

95
00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:43,040
dead bodies they eat, the stronger they get. It'll be

96
00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:45,240
something different the next floor down. They're supposed to home

97
00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:47,839
in on corpses if none but are none, if none

98
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,560
are nearby, they'll hunt crawlers. That's what they're doing. These

99
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,639
guys don't attack, but they'll still swarm at you, But

100
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:59,720
why are there so many of them? It looks like

101
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:03,399
the system spawning anywhere between one to fifteen of them

102
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:06,480
when a corpse is created. It usually doesn't do that

103
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,160
unless there aren't any janitor mobs nearby. You killed a

104
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:12,000
lot of mobs in that last battle, so here they are.

105
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,959
We didn't kill that many. Plus we've been destroying the corpses.

106
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,199
They probably had a couple hundred grubs in that cage

107
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,879
in the boss room. Yeah, there were seven hundred and

108
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:27,040
fifty of them, all fried. Plus you killed another eighty

109
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:31,240
five Chloricons between Grinding Away and the Boss battle. Destroying

110
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:34,320
corpses only keeps them from leveling up. It doesn't stop

111
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,919
them from being generated. You, my friends have been set up.

112
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:44,720
You've fallen into a trap that is so deeply unfair,

113
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,960
and it makes sense Allegedly they're trying to kill them

114
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,519
as fast as possible. Personally, I kind of feel like

115
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:57,080
maybe that's not as true as we have been thinking,

116
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:00,320
or maybe maybe it would be better to say say,

117
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:04,320
I believe that's what's happening because of what Mordecai said.

118
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,080
But I also feel like when you step back and

119
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:14,120
look at the overall way that they make money with

120
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:21,840
this game. Trying to kill Carl and Donut quickly is

121
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:25,679
actually pretty counterintuitive to what they should be doing. If

122
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,240
you want to make money off of people throwing in

123
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,759
to sponsor certain players, then you need to keep the

124
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:41,200
most fascinating players around. And I would argue that Donut

125
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,600
and Carl have a lot of viewership, and if you're

126
00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:48,320
trying to take some people out early, try and take

127
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,440
out the people with the lowest number of sponsorships and

128
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:55,639
viewers and leave the people who are the biggest draw

129
00:09:55,919 --> 00:09:58,799
so that you can keep as many sponsors active as

130
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:03,200
you can. Now. Granted, I am going off their numbers

131
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,120
and thinking to myself that this means they are very popular,

132
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,720
and it's possible. I don't know the numbers of how

133
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:15,080
many people out there are watching. I don't know whether

134
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,279
or not it's possible for other players out there to

135
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,720
have like ten times the number of viewers they do,

136
00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:25,440
because at one point, Donut says that she has like

137
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,960
a trillion views. So, like, these are numbers that I

138
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,360
don't understand frankly and can't rent my head around. If

139
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,440
it's true that they are really not doing as well

140
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,279
as other players, I guess it would make sense that

141
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,200
we're trying to get rid of them, But I just

142
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:49,639
kind of thought they were doing better than it seems

143
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,039
like they must be. If we're already getting rid of them,

144
00:10:52,240 --> 00:11:00,320
you know what I'm saying. But I don't know. So see,

145
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,559
he says, do you know what the limit is? Yeah,

146
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,080
you've already hit it. It's five thousand. Is it like this?

147
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Everywhere across the whole dungeon looks like it. It's to

148
00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:12,480
keep people from camping out in one area for too long.

149
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,240
As long as you keep moving, it shouldn't be an issue.

150
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,879
So he checks in with Brandon and he's like, all right,

151
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,720
don't know, we got to get the hell out of here.

152
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:26,200
And when they first leave, they initially start trying to

153
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:28,799
kill the grubs in big groups, and then they start

154
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,240
to realize that these things can't really attack us, So

155
00:11:32,279 --> 00:11:38,720
there's no point in wasting all of our like, because

156
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,039
he's using explosives and stuff, he's using dynamite, he's using

157
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:49,399
his uh what are they called the jug a bomb?

158
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:55,399
Jugga boom, jugga boom. Right, So it's possible that if

159
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:58,759
we just leave them alone, we can wade through them

160
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:04,519
no problem, except unfortunately it soon becomes clear that just

161
00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:08,279
trying to wade through them is in itself an issue.

162
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,679
You can't exactly do that without smashing them under your feet,

163
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,120
so they wind up killing them without even intending to,

164
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:23,960
which results. Even like after they destroy the the corpses,

165
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:28,279
these things are still like munching away at like the

166
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,480
tiny little bits of scrap that are left, so it

167
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:41,559
winds up not helping or mattering at all. Carl, people

168
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,960
are getting bored with this by followers. Haven't gone up

169
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,240
in five minutes. For Fock's sake, do not. Don't worry.

170
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:53,000
I'm sure something awful is gonna happen any second. Why

171
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,320
did you have to say that. I saw the wall

172
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,120
of blue dots coming down the hall. It looked as

173
00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:03,080
if it was all of them, so we went jogging

174
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,399
toward them. I stopped and laughed the moment I saw

175
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,159
the parade. They'd built a parade float, That's what it

176
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:14,000
looked like. They'd taken the wheels from multiple wheelchairs that

177
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,519
no longer had owners, and it fixed them to long

178
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,320
pieces of wood. I had no idea where the wooden

179
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,519
platforms had come from, but I knew Amani and Chris

180
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,600
both were as obsessive about looting everything as I was

181
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,399
using some of the Goblin tools they'd cobbled together the contraption.

182
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,559
Looking more closely, it was more like a train set

183
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,799
or a set of roller coaster cars. There were a

184
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,600
total of thirty nine people being pulled, most of them

185
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:42,279
sitting up on their own wheelchairs, which sat locked in

186
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,799
place two by two. Those who normally used walkers sat

187
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,480
cross legged on boards, watching wide eyed as they were

188
00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:52,840
pulled along. The giant centipede was ten cars long, and

189
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,159
each section held four people. The individual cars were attached

190
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,679
to one another by a set of glowing metal chains.

191
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,320
The same chain attached Chris and Imani to the rest

192
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,240
of the train. It seemed as if it was one

193
00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:10,080
chain running from Chris through all the cars and back

194
00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:15,120
up to Amani. About three hundred feet long, and apparently

195
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,879
the chain is Immani's. It's a scroll called Yog's Special Chain.

196
00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:24,080
She got it from some gold box. She could pick

197
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,120
any length up to something crazy like a thousand feet.

198
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,240
It's light as a feather, but the chain only lasts

199
00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:32,519
thirty hours. The whole thing was her idea, though Brandon

200
00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:35,080
designed it. He even added ramps so they can get

201
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:45,000
on and off easily. And this is when there's the

202
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,039
mention of the mind horrors. We went to clear them out.

203
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:53,240
Yolanda would shoot them from down the hallway, deflating them

204
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,840
before they could hurt us. The boss room was this

205
00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:59,519
abandoned warehouse thing. The boss was a giant blimp. We

206
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:02,480
took it out pretty easily thanks to Yolanda. That's also

207
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:05,080
where we got all this wood. Did it come out

208
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,879
of its room? I gave him a quick recap of

209
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:12,240
what had happened with Kra Karen Christ Dude, our battle

210
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,559
was much easier. It never left its lair. They were

211
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:19,200
lucky to be alive, but I was glad they'd spent

212
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,840
the time training themselves. So that again feels like evidence

213
00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:28,720
that Carl and Donut are being targeted in a particular way.

214
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:32,399
And I'm really curious because like, by the end of

215
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,399
this the person that they were put in touch with

216
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:40,679
to be their pr agent has been taken off their case.

217
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:44,399
I don't even know how to say it. They have

218
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,799
been put on a time out as like the Vibe,

219
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:51,399
which we don't know why, and I'm wondering if that

220
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:54,639
is related to them being targeted the way that they are.

221
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:01,559
I really don't know what to think about this. So

222
00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:10,000
this is when el mcgibb comes up to him and

223
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,039
she calls him by name, and he's like, hey, he

224
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,320
remembered me. And she's looking at the like kind of

225
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:19,679
roller coaster style thing that they're being pulled on, and

226
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,000
she says, this reminds me of the Tunnel of Love.

227
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,200
Back in my time, my Berry and I used to

228
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,360
always go to the carnival. We eat the cotton candy

229
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:31,559
and throw darts at the balloons. We'd go in the

230
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,200
Tunnel of Love. Back then it was a boat. I'd

231
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:38,120
let him touch my boobs, but only on the outside

232
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,480
of my sweater. I loved my Berry, but he wasn't

233
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:44,559
the prettiest man to look at. If you were in

234
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,960
the Tunnel of Love with me, I'd have, like you

235
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
do more than touch them on the outside of my clothes. Uh.

236
00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:55,240
I said, thank you. I couldn't think of a better response.

237
00:16:55,679 --> 00:17:00,320
The old woman cackled behind her. Yolanda barked with laughter.

238
00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:15,480
You guys, oh god, that's funny. So he has a

239
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,160
moment here of just looking at this woman and realizing

240
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,720
how old she is, everything that she has been through

241
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:31,039
and all of a sudden, it becomes clear to him

242
00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:37,839
we shouldn't have brought them through this far that actually

243
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:43,400
saving them like this isn't a kindness at all. It's

244
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:49,119
just drawing out the inevitable. And it's so hard to

245
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,079
say whether or not I agree with this, because, on

246
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,720
the one hand, a big part of me understands where

247
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,599
he's coming from from a purely practical perspective, and also

248
00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:03,240
like the way that these people are having to live,

249
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,440
it's difficult for me to like feel like they're getting

250
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,039
anything out of this, just having to be dragged from

251
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:13,759
one place to another, getting attacked over and over again.

252
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:19,200
Like I'm not trying to say that they themselves have

253
00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:22,599
nothing to offer. I am saying, like, what is it

254
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,160
that the world has to offer them at this point

255
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:30,759
when they aren't really even quite conscious of what's going on,

256
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:35,880
you know what I'm saying. So there's also, though an

257
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:41,319
argument to be made for whether or not you think

258
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,440
it's kind to them isn't really what's at issue here,

259
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,799
That like, you don't get to make that choice for them.

260
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,200
But if you don't and they don't know what's happening,

261
00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:56,920
then who does Because then being given the agency to

262
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,839
make their own choice when they don't have a full

263
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,359
grasp of the situation. Doesn't really feel like total agency

264
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,400
to me in the first place. It's just it's a

265
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,720
difficult question, you know. And this is always going to

266
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:11,240
come up when it comes to people who are in

267
00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:15,359
questionable control of their own faculties. And I don't think

268
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,960
there's ever like an easy answer or an answer that

269
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,319
applies to everybody. It's possible that there might be people

270
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:24,519
in this group that it would make more sense to

271
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,799
save than others, like he feels at this point, they

272
00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:36,359
should have made them stay. And this is when Jack

273
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:43,799
yells out bring that pussy over here about donut, And

274
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:47,359
just as they are all turning to look at him,

275
00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:54,319
this is when Carl is talking to Brandon, and Brandon says, hey,

276
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,880
thanks for helping us to your own detriment. You're a

277
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,599
good man, Carl says. If we get to the point

278
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:02,640
where we don't help each other anymore, that's when we

279
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,039
stopped being human. I felt something catch in my throat

280
00:20:06,079 --> 00:20:11,559
and I coughed, zev admin, Carl, that was great. Can

281
00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:13,720
you say that for me again, but this time, don't cough.

282
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,920
I stopped dead. My neck tingled with goosebumps. I knew

283
00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:23,759
we were being watched and followed, but having someone actually

284
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,119
comment in my mind was one of the most unnerving

285
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,640
sensations I'd ever felt. Now, I was a little bit

286
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,640
confused by this because I was assuming from the way

287
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,759
this was written that it was he was like getting

288
00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:41,799
this comment in the same way that he had been

289
00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:48,119
talking on the chat to Donut, which granted, when you

290
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,519
were dealing with a different being that's not in your

291
00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:53,880
party and they're able to comment in your mind, that's

292
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,200
still unnerving. But he's been talking to Brandon as well,

293
00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:01,200
so I feel like this has got to be a

294
00:21:01,279 --> 00:21:06,559
completely different method of talking. Like it almost sounds like

295
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:12,000
it came through as audio, but that's not the way

296
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,319
that it's written. It's written like it's text. So I'm

297
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,799
not totally sure if I'm getting this right. But and like,

298
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,039
either way, don't get me wrong, he has the right

299
00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:25,000
to feel how he feels about this, and I'm not

300
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:30,039
mad at him either way. I'm just saying, if he

301
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:32,920
were going to react this strongly, I would have thought

302
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,559
that it would have come up earlier, or that what

303
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,119
he described as being fucked up about it would seem

304
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,880
really different than the way it's been already with Donut

305
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:51,279
and Brandon, So he says, no, I'm not going to

306
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:53,680
say it again. Have you been watching this whole time?

307
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,759
Zev admin, you and my other clients to save the

308
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:02,839
elderly storyline is playing great with most viewers. That said

309
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,559
about twenty percent things you're wasting time and being stupid

310
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,039
dead weight I think was the term some of them

311
00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:10,440
have used, but most of them understand what you're doing.

312
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,000
Donut is right, However, it's a little dry. Maybe you

313
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:19,440
can oh shit, Oh fuck Carl, Donut, run run to

314
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:25,000
the safirm now, no Jack, Jack, no, Yolanda called. I

315
00:22:25,079 --> 00:22:28,640
turned to see Jack Cincinnati Bengal's hat sitting cock eyed

316
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,480
on his head. He'd stood to his full height using

317
00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:34,440
the wheelchair with Missus mcgibbons and Donut as a brace.

318
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,759
His pants were down to his ankles, dick out, pissing

319
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:41,599
directly on the wall. And I was just like fough,

320
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:49,400
I just really lost my shit here, Oh, Rob, says

321
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,880
Elle mcgibb equals Elle mcgibbons. Just in case this didn't

322
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,160
come across. It didn't in my first read. The Dungeon

323
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,720
assigns names to crawlers based on their entry tome, which

324
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:03,799
is why he's Carl and not Carl last name, but

325
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,039
also why Brandon is Brandon on and his brother is

326
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,559
Chris Andrews, which is a fun little touch. Oh, I

327
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:23,200
see what you're saying, Rob Okay, So thirty eight we

328
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,039
are dealing with this fucking thing that appears. They're only

329
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,200
one hundred feet from the safe room, so there's possible

330
00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:33,039
time for them to get the fuck out of here.

331
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:44,440
Ylanda blows Jack's brains out. This is this is so sad.

332
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:47,319
It's I say, blows brains out like it was a gun.

333
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:53,920
It's an arrow. It's shooting either way whatever. I realized,

334
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,359
I was running, running toward the back of the train.

335
00:23:56,759 --> 00:23:59,680
Behind me, Brandon shouted the safe room was only a

336
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,240
hundred feet away. Chris and Imani were already picking up speed.

337
00:24:03,559 --> 00:24:06,279
The second man on the last car went flying off

338
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:09,200
the train as it lurched forward. He hit the ground

339
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,519
with a loud, painful crunch, his walker flying over his

340
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:20,160
head just as the monster appeared, and Carl yells for

341
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:27,400
Donut to run and sprints towards the thing. I could never.

342
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,559
I just couldn't. I'm not a hero, and that's just

343
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,839
that purple and black smoke kept hissing and spitting from

344
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,240
the wet stain on the wall. The monster coalesced, coming

345
00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:45,440
into existence ten feet behind Yolanda and Randall, just above

346
00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:49,880
the prone form of the now dead Jack. Yolanda hit

347
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,519
the monster with two arrows, and the shafts just shattered

348
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:56,640
against the smoke. It didn't even form a health bar,

349
00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:03,079
indicating she'd done no damage way soever. The thing was

350
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,519
fifteen feet tall and just as wide, made of fulminating,

351
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:13,359
sizzling black and purple smoke. It had six legs, each

352
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,880
gleaming with obsidian claws the size of rakes. The claws

353
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,640
seemed to be the only corporeal parts of its body.

354
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,160
The legs were all the same, but the two forward

355
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:29,599
claws were longer, fingerlike with extra joints. A flickering, horned

356
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,640
skull sat amongst the smoky mass. Its eyes made of

357
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,599
glowing red fire that poured smoke. It was the skull

358
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,720
of some sort of animal, maybe a colossal badger, but

359
00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:45,920
with curved goat like horns. It roared and the ground shook.

360
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:54,480
Rage Elemental level ninety three, and we get some info

361
00:25:54,599 --> 00:25:58,640
basically telling them so so sorry for your losses that

362
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,200
are about to happen, and for your loss of your

363
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,720
life that's about to happen. But what can you do?

364
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:14,839
Winsa loose some donut activates her confusing fog, and it

365
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:21,119
spins toward them, and it takes out Yolanda and Randall,

366
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,000
And there's this very heartbreaking moment where Carl thinks about

367
00:26:26,039 --> 00:26:29,440
how he wishes he had had a mother that was

368
00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:34,839
like Yolanda. There was a warmth about her, something I'd

369
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,839
never felt as a kid. Just being in her presence

370
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,079
imparted a feeling of longing in me, something difficult to describe,

371
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,519
like I wished I could relive my childhood, but this

372
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,880
time I'd of her as my mother and she would

373
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,640
have never ever left me. Oh man, I don't feel

374
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,960
like I've met too many people that I've been like,

375
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,240
it would have been great to have these parents instead

376
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,759
of my parents. Like, you know, my parents had their issues,

377
00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:08,599
but for the most part, I've been pretty satisfied with

378
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,400
them in general. And I just really wonder about this feeling.

379
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,559
And if anybody listening, if you've had this where you've

380
00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:18,160
met somebody and been like, how do you get this

381
00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:22,039
lucky to be this person's child, you know, Like I mean,

382
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,640
that's got to be a feeling that people have, and

383
00:27:24,759 --> 00:27:29,200
it's just really depressing. Imagine being a parent who lets

384
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,200
their kid down so completely. I really wonder what happened

385
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,440
to Carl's mom, because clearly she left him due to

386
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,759
his father's behavior, but the fact that she didn't bring

387
00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:44,279
Karl with her is really awful. Like I don't you know,

388
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:47,720
there could potentially be some inxsenuating circumstances that would make

389
00:27:47,759 --> 00:27:51,599
it understandable, but they'd have to be pretty extreme for

390
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,279
me to really understand it. It's this is the sort

391
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:57,000
of thing that I always run up against you guys.

392
00:27:57,079 --> 00:28:02,119
It's like when there's a child involved in a situation

393
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,799
and you leave that child and only protect yourself. I

394
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:09,839
just genuinely don't know how you live with yourself. And

395
00:28:10,599 --> 00:28:12,920
like I said, there are gonna be situations where this.

396
00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:18,799
Once it's explained to me the extenuating circumstances, I might

397
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,720
be like, well, okay, I get it, but I have

398
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:24,000
a I don't even want to say a friend. There

399
00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:30,599
is somebody that I know and they they are living

400
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,319
still with their very abusive husband, and the reasons for

401
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,599
not leaving are in a lot of ways to me

402
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:44,640
purely excuses. This is a sort of situation that can happen.

403
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,039
Some people have got options and they simply do not

404
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,119
take them. Not everybody winds up in a situation where

405
00:28:53,559 --> 00:28:58,480
leaving is an impossibility. They have those options, and they

406
00:28:58,599 --> 00:29:00,599
choose not to take them and to keep staying with

407
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:06,359
this abusive person. But they have three children with this guy,

408
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:12,880
and instead of protecting their kids, they themselves hide out

409
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,079
in their bedroom and leave their children out to deal

410
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:23,119
with their husband. And they have like said things to

411
00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:24,759
me like, well, you know, I've told them when he

412
00:29:24,839 --> 00:29:26,640
yells at them and insults them in stuff, to just

413
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,640
let it roll off their back. And I'm like, I

414
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,200
cannot understand how you can say to your own children

415
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,319
that what their parent tells them they shouldn't take seriously

416
00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:42,759
because it's that horrible. But also expect these kids to

417
00:29:42,839 --> 00:29:47,240
like it's just such a They are protecting themselves and

418
00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:50,160
retreating into their own little world of their separate bedroom

419
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,799
from their husband, and they are leaving their kids out

420
00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:56,839
there with him to fend for themselves. And at that point,

421
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,680
I don't get it. I genuinely don't understand how you

422
00:29:59,799 --> 00:30:04,359
are consumed with guilt every day at leaving your children

423
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,559
to suffer a fate that you don't even want to suffer,

424
00:30:08,319 --> 00:30:12,519
just to protect yourself. Like, it's just I don't get it.

425
00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:16,559
And I remember I was having the conversation with them

426
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:19,599
because it was very clear that the abuse that was

427
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,599
happening was still like pretty much. They kept trying to

428
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,240
act as if their husband had started to like go

429
00:30:27,319 --> 00:30:30,039
to counseling and he wasn't acting out anymore. But then

430
00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:33,400
they mentioned him like yanking at their son's arm and

431
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,559
leaving bruises on him, and I was like, so he's

432
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,640
definitely still doing it, then he's just managing to not

433
00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:44,400
do it often enough to worry you. But if you're

434
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,559
not in front of your kids and with your children

435
00:30:46,599 --> 00:30:49,079
when it happens, how do you even know? Do you

436
00:30:49,079 --> 00:30:51,279
think they're going to come to you and tattle on him?

437
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,359
If you have already left them alone to deal with him,

438
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,920
Why would they think they should tell you anything because

439
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,680
you're not gonna help, You haven't done anything to protect them.

440
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,279
And you know me, guys, I have a tendency to

441
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:05,359
get pretty harsh when I decide that I'm not going

442
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,400
to mince words, and she started crying in response to me.

443
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:11,839
But I had very little sympathy at the time, and

444
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,920
I still kind of don't like it just feels to

445
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,640
me you have your one job if you decide to

446
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,200
be a parent, if you decide to have children, protecting

447
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:28,960
them is the one main job you have. And if

448
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,640
you keep bringing kids into the world. And when I

449
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,640
was speaking to them, they were pregnant with yet another kid,

450
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,279
a fourth was coming along the way. I do not

451
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:43,720
understand how you can not take that responsibility really, really seriously.

452
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,440
It's just, you know, I mean, I feel that kind

453
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,480
of protection about my fucking dog, never mind an actual

454
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:59,160
human child. So Carl's mom, you sound fucked up. I'd

455
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,480
like to know more about your situation. I'd like to

456
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,680
have a bit more context, but from where I'm sitting

457
00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:12,319
right now, not impressed. Girly Rob says, I've got pretty

458
00:32:12,319 --> 00:32:15,400
decent parents, so I haven't wished that that I had

459
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,119
different ones, But I had met some brilliant people who

460
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,599
nevertheless kind of wind up being a second pair of

461
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,960
parents or an adopted grandparent when you're in a friendship,

462
00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:27,200
not for the friend but from the harm reduction for

463
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:30,400
their kids. Yeah, it was like if things had been

464
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,759
set up slightly different and this person was my friend,

465
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:39,920
probably I would have tried to like do something like that,

466
00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:44,720
but it was really my husband's friend, and even then

467
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,000
not really his friend. It was somebody that he was

468
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:51,480
acquainted with that it became pretty clear they were using

469
00:32:51,559 --> 00:32:53,960
him for like emotional support, and he has since pulled

470
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,920
away because he offered them help in a variety of

471
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,759
ways and they simply kept complaining to him and never

472
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,119
actually took advantage of any of the options that he

473
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,799
was offering them from help for help from his end,

474
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,680
and he started to realize, like, they don't actually want

475
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,680
out of this situation. They just want somebody to come

476
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,440
and cry to. And they weren't offering anything like a

477
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,440
shoulder to cry on to Owen. They were just using

478
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:29,880
him to unload and then ignoring him for like days

479
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,039
at a time, and then popping back up when it

480
00:33:32,079 --> 00:33:36,359
was time to continue to complain. So they are no

481
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,759
longer really a part of my life, although I did

482
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:41,759
see on Facebook recently that they gave birth finally, and

483
00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:45,960
I just feel so bad for this kid because it's

484
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,720
the situation that they are being brought into is super unfair,

485
00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:55,079
and they just they have a mom who is really

486
00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:58,359
pretty self absorbed, you know, just one of those people

487
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:04,319
that either can't or won't let themselves fully appreciate what

488
00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:13,880
they're inflicting on people around them. So anyway, when the apocalypse,

489
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,599
when the apocalypse came for Yolanda, she didn't once waiver

490
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,960
in her dedication to her patients. She was quick to laugh,

491
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:25,079
quick to smile, and even though Yolanda Martinez was just

492
00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:27,760
as terrified as the rest of us, she stood her

493
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,679
ground against a force she couldn't possibly hold back. She

494
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,440
lived her entire life as a hero. She died as

495
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,679
one too. One moment they were there, the next they

496
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:44,199
were gone. Through the still developing cloud of confusing fog,

497
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:48,960
the monstrous claws ripped forward, cutting through the nurse and

498
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:52,840
elderly man as if they weren't even there. Yolanda's body

499
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,280
disintegrated in a red cloud of ribbon like flesh, like

500
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,719
she was a knitted sweater that had been uny all

501
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,880
at once. The monster didn't even break stride. It came

502
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,880
for us despite the fog, and swung a mighty claw

503
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:16,760
and eventually it does this thing where it flips gravity

504
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,679
upside down, and they wind up slamming into the ceiling,

505
00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:31,400
which is just incredibly unfair. Oh my god. In front

506
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,320
of me, the very last train car flew upward, and

507
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,679
the remaining resident, missus mcgibbons, cried out as she also

508
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,400
slammed up into the top of the hallway, wheelchair, crashing

509
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,360
upon her like she'd been dumped face first down into

510
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:51,559
a hole. She dies, right, does she? He carries her

511
00:35:51,599 --> 00:35:54,639
and gives her a potion. Does she make it? I

512
00:35:54,679 --> 00:35:57,480
can't remember. I think she must. The potion has to

513
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,679
save her, right, I'm just realizing that things get so

514
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,599
chaotic here that I lost track of what happened to her,

515
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:12,599
and Carl just barely manages to get in there before

516
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:19,679
the door closes. And uh, this elemental I had thought

517
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,000
once they're out that it would leave them alone, but

518
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,119
it stays outside the door and just keeps on pounding

519
00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:31,000
on it so that it just kind of becomes background noise.

520
00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:35,280
That this thing is right there, making this situation into

521
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,519
one where they have to leave and face it, which

522
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,679
they would all instantly die. So what are they supposed

523
00:36:41,679 --> 00:36:47,760
to fucking do? And this we student what appeared to

524
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,119
be a dusty no way they passed the health inspection

525
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,320
Chicken restaurant, Big shot Chicken. The sign read, I'd never

526
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,360
heard of it, Bob cut protectors stood behind the counter,

527
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,360
looking distastefully at the large cur How about you keep

528
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:07,920
your judgmental expressions to yourself, buddy, how about that? I

529
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,079
will say I was very relieved at the very least

530
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,559
that they wound up in a room where obviously there

531
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,119
is like full service food and everything, because considering the

532
00:37:21,199 --> 00:37:24,199
number of safe rooms that they've wound up in where

533
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,159
it turned out that it was like a fucking piece

534
00:37:28,199 --> 00:37:31,719
of toast, like we see later. If they had wound

535
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,480
up stuck in there for like several hours, that would

536
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,199
have been even worse. So if you're gonna be stuck

537
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,239
in a room with a rage elemental on the outside

538
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,480
threatening to get in at any moment, at the very least,

539
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,440
let's have a little bit fucking fried chicken, you know

540
00:37:49,519 --> 00:38:00,480
what I'm saying. And everybody is just like fucking crying injured.

541
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:07,280
They've been sort of thrown into the room. Understandably, Donut

542
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,079
had saved several wheelchairs, but there was no way we

543
00:38:10,159 --> 00:38:15,719
had enough. Now, Fucking Jack he knew. We explained it

544
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,719
to him. Zev's message echoed in my head. This was

545
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,920
a mistake helping these people. All we are doing is

546
00:38:26,039 --> 00:38:30,480
hindering our own training and delaying there in inevitable deaths.

547
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,800
It would have been kinder to have left them on

548
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,480
the first floor rather than subject them to this terror.

549
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:45,920
This point is when I believe that he's right. The

550
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:52,519
problem is this rage elemental isn't the norm right now?

551
00:38:53,079 --> 00:38:56,400
You know, like what happened is because Jack decided to

552
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:02,159
do something and they're penalizing you. But you couldn't have

553
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:07,440
known this would happen. So I don't fully agree. I

554
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,320
get why you're feeling that way now, and I guess

555
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,159
when the people who have created the game are this

556
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,360
fucking capricious in how they decide they're going to handle things,

557
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:22,199
maybe at like a big picture, you're right, but I

558
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,159
can't help but feel like this is a really specific

559
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:30,679
situation and I'm not sure I feel that way. This

560
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,920
is all right, missus. Mcgibbons says, thank you, you saved me.

561
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,320
Jack was always an ass. Poor Yolanda, she was such

562
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,760
a good kid, and Brandle dumb as a pigeon that one.

563
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,960
But he deserved better than that. At least it was quick,

564
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,639
so I'm glad because you know, her slamming into the

565
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:53,199
ceiling when you're that old, like even if you have

566
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,519
a healing potion. I'm not really sure exactly where this

567
00:39:55,559 --> 00:40:00,920
game draws the line sometimes, so glad to see that

568
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:07,800
she is okay. So the recap episode started with a

569
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:13,119
close up shot of Jack's purple veined and uncircumcised dick

570
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:18,840
huge on the screen. The headline screamed, trapped meadow Lark

571
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:24,239
and the Royal Court of Princess Donut in peril. Wow,

572
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,840
Donut said, yours isn't nearly that big or oily looking,

573
00:40:29,039 --> 00:40:32,840
and it doesn't have that hat thing. If looks could

574
00:40:33,039 --> 00:40:37,440
kill the glare IMMANI shot at the cat would have

575
00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:42,280
ripped her into I get it, in Moni, But Donut

576
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:47,760
doesn't know what's happening, you know what I mean? Oh God,

577
00:40:49,039 --> 00:40:59,719
I uh, I really feel like this decision to zero

578
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,960
in on his cock. It makes a lot of sense

579
00:41:04,119 --> 00:41:11,559
considering that this group of people doesn't see like lewdness

580
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:16,559
in body parts the way that we do. But it

581
00:41:16,639 --> 00:41:20,639
is very funny considering how they don't want anybody pissing

582
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,039
or shitting in the hallways that they would like zoom

583
00:41:24,119 --> 00:41:27,400
in on it when it's happening, because allegedly you don't

584
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,920
want it because people don't like to see it. But

585
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,679
of course, now that it's done in such a way

586
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:38,400
that there's like a massive splashy fight afterwards, now seeing

587
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,440
it is no big deal, it's fine. Oh okay, it's

588
00:41:42,519 --> 00:41:47,679
just the grossness of this, just on the level that

589
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,559
we feel it's just so much more intense than that

590
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,559
because of the fact that it's being used as entertainment

591
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,760
when all of this resulted in a bunch of people

592
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:06,360
dying horrible death. And so today it's March eighteenth, twenty

593
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:12,320
twenty five. Sunrise on the Reaping came out today. It

594
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,880
is the next Hunger Games book. It focuses on Hamich

595
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:21,599
Abernathy's story, prequel to the original trilogy. I started listening

596
00:42:21,599 --> 00:42:27,199
to the audio book, and I will say I'm not

597
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:31,559
super into it as of yet, but there are a

598
00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:34,760
couple parts that I've really enjoyed. And I'm going to

599
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,880
do a mild spoiler's here, but there is a part

600
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:42,800
where something happens during the Reaping that causes a bit

601
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,239
of kerfuffle, and we don't get the footage we normally

602
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:52,559
would when names are read and afterward somebody has to

603
00:42:52,599 --> 00:42:55,079
come up to the families and be like, hey, can

604
00:42:55,119 --> 00:42:59,199
you can you act right now? As if they've just

605
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,360
had their name red and gasp for us and they

606
00:43:03,519 --> 00:43:07,199
make this family. They won't let them say goodbye to

607
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,119
their loved one, their child that's been reaped until they

608
00:43:11,199 --> 00:43:16,199
get a satisfactory take of their horror and shock at

609
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:20,119
the reaping name being chosen, and they make them go

610
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:25,559
through it like several times. And it's just the grossest,

611
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:31,480
most hideous thing. And that kind of felt like it

612
00:43:31,519 --> 00:43:40,599
was in the same territory. So I eased back into

613
00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:43,559
the chair and took a bite of fried chicken. A

614
00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:47,119
part of me registered the food was downright delicious, but

615
00:43:47,199 --> 00:43:52,239
I could barely taste it. That's a real shame, guys,

616
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,400
fried chicken. Just let me just let me take a moment.

617
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:05,679
Fried chicken. I don't know what wonderful person in the

618
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:11,400
fog of history figured out how to heat up fat

619
00:44:11,639 --> 00:44:16,559
and fry things. I would they should have many statues.

620
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:22,199
They should their name should be known, and whomever it

621
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,480
was that came up with fried chicken, I mean, especially

622
00:44:27,519 --> 00:44:30,280
once we start to get into the territory of recipes

623
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,000
akin to Popeyes fried chicken, which is the superior fast

624
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,480
food fried chicken, and nobody will ever change my mind

625
00:44:36,519 --> 00:44:41,440
ever in the history of the world. Money isn't enough.

626
00:44:42,559 --> 00:44:45,519
Fried chicken is one of the best things out there.

627
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,320
And I can't have it more than like once a

628
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:54,679
month because it's just so bad for you. Like it's

629
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,840
difficult to quantify how bad it is for you on

630
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,880
how many different levels. But oh my god, and the

631
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,400
fact that he is somewhere where he has amazing fried

632
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,039
chicken and he isn't even tasting it. Give it to me, Carl,

633
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,599
hand it over. Let the reader appreciate what you seem

634
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:22,679
uneyable to appreciate. Right now, I'll do right by you, okay. Anyway,

635
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,400
he has come up with a plan to deal with

636
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,239
this rage elemental, but they do have to ditch everybody

637
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:32,679
in order to pull this off. Zev disappeared off the

638
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:39,800
chat after the skirmish in the hallway. Oh that's why

639
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,679
Zev's been given a time out, huh for yelling for

640
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,559
them to run. If they hadn't had gotten that heads up,

641
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:52,920
probably they would have died. I bet that's what it is.

642
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:59,400
I didn't even think of that until this second oh god, Zef.

643
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,320
She did her best. She did her fucking best. She

644
00:46:03,599 --> 00:46:05,960
probably saved their lives. She might have saved a couple

645
00:46:06,079 --> 00:46:13,519
lives here, you know, like dah, sorry, Zev. A wave

646
00:46:13,639 --> 00:46:16,400
of grubs descended upon us. I didn't know what was

647
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,840
gonna happen once they reached the hall with a rage elemental.

648
00:46:19,199 --> 00:46:21,960
I was hoping, perhaps they distract the creature, cause it

649
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,440
to wander off. I suspected we wouldn't get that lucky,

650
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:31,320
but I had hope. And he gets an achievement for

651
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:37,159
surviving reverse gravity and achievement for surviving a mob more

652
00:46:37,199 --> 00:46:41,000
than seventy five levels above your own. A platinum lucky

653
00:46:41,079 --> 00:46:44,480
bastard box is what he gets. It was a lottery

654
00:46:44,519 --> 00:46:48,920
scratch off ticket. The tickets themselves were different. Doughnuts was

655
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,000
red and green and had a small graphic of a

656
00:46:51,079 --> 00:46:53,960
troll like creature throwing gold coins in the air. It

657
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,239
was called Dungeon Gold Rush Rush. She had six spots

658
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,360
to scratch off. She immediately moved to scratch it, but

659
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,559
received an error message telling her she couldn't use the

660
00:47:04,559 --> 00:47:06,800
ticket in a safe room. I made her hand it

661
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:11,000
over so I could read the description. And it turns

662
00:47:11,039 --> 00:47:15,639
out that you get different effects when you scratch it off,

663
00:47:15,639 --> 00:47:17,719
and you can scratch it off more than once, so

664
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,960
it's not like scratch off a certain number and like

665
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,079
if they're all diamonds, you win so much money. It's

666
00:47:24,119 --> 00:47:27,559
like you can only choose one spot to scratch and

667
00:47:27,639 --> 00:47:30,440
get a different effect, and then there's a cool down

668
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,880
for an hour, and then you can scratch another one

669
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,519
and you can go through every single one of them.

670
00:47:37,559 --> 00:47:40,559
It revealed twenty different symbols. Most of the results were good,

671
00:47:40,679 --> 00:47:44,840
like MOB drops five thousand coins, or damage against MOB

672
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,519
is doubled, but a few offered MOB splits in two

673
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:53,960
or MOB is invulnerable for thirty seconds. Yeah, don't use this,

674
00:47:54,119 --> 00:47:56,559
I said, not until we talk about it some The

675
00:47:56,639 --> 00:47:58,440
last thing we need is you scratching off a symbol

676
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:03,320
that'll quadruple the next MOB strength. Or I can scratch

677
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,599
off a symbol and I'll get five thousand coins. Karl,

678
00:48:05,639 --> 00:48:09,840
why must you all miss be so pessimistic? And honestly,

679
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,760
a lot of the time I do kind of have

680
00:48:12,039 --> 00:48:15,559
donut energy a little bit more. But considering that we

681
00:48:15,639 --> 00:48:18,679
now have gotten to know how the AI isn't randomized

682
00:48:18,679 --> 00:48:22,880
and that they will do things to screw you not anymore.

683
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,320
I can't have that attitude anymore. They're doing what is

684
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,559
necessary for things to be the funniest or most entertaining

685
00:48:30,599 --> 00:48:33,599
they can. Why would they help you? It's just not

686
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:39,719
likely to me, you know. And he has five scratch

687
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,960
spots fireball or custard. Scratch off a spot in the

688
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,760
midst of battle, and this zany ticket casts a spell

689
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,760
at the closest red tagged mob. Each spot has a

690
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,559
fifty to fifty chance. Will it cast a level fifteen fireball?

691
00:48:54,639 --> 00:48:58,400
Will it cast a glob of delicious healing strawberry custard?

692
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,880
Who knows? Either way? The results will be a hoot

693
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:09,719
thirty minute cool down between scratches, Donut demands custard, so

694
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:16,039
they're working on that. And then we get the show

695
00:49:16,599 --> 00:49:19,360
and we check in with the African Warriors, who don't

696
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,000
have like Ammo anymore, so they're just using their AK

697
00:49:23,199 --> 00:49:29,360
forty seven's as clubs. Lucia Mahr has four player killer

698
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,000
skulls by her name, but they don't show exactly how

699
00:49:32,039 --> 00:49:38,519
she got them, and he realizes that her ro Wilers

700
00:49:38,599 --> 00:49:43,800
still count as pets, while Donut doesn't. I am interested

701
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,760
in whether she's going to eventually get something that leads

702
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,400
to them transforming from pets to crawlers themselves, and if

703
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:58,199
that will change anything. I kept thinking about like this

704
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:04,440
girl with her dogs as well, and how awful it

705
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:11,119
would be to be down here with Pippin like worried

706
00:50:11,199 --> 00:50:14,880
about his welfare, you know. And there are certain games

707
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:19,360
where you can get a pet, like Fallout, where you

708
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,719
get a dog, and from what I understand, in the

709
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,159
first version of the game, it was possible for your

710
00:50:25,199 --> 00:50:29,000
dog to die, but everybody hated that feature so much

711
00:50:29,079 --> 00:50:31,360
that they changed it so that the dog couldn't die.

712
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:36,679
And that's pretty much the energy, you know. I just

713
00:50:37,679 --> 00:50:41,400
I don't think I would be able to keep myself

714
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,920
from trying to save Pippin and keep him from harm

715
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,079
to the point that he wouldn't really be a weapon.

716
00:50:49,519 --> 00:50:51,199
But I don't know if I'd be able to help

717
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:55,920
that all the time. Because Pippin he has been a

718
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,599
very good boy for the most part, and he is

719
00:51:01,519 --> 00:51:05,760
we have learned how to handle his anxiety, but he

720
00:51:06,119 --> 00:51:11,880
can get vicious and it's really scary. He would fight

721
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,440
with his brother Sam before we found Sam a home,

722
00:51:15,199 --> 00:51:17,800
and then we started bringing him to the dog park

723
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,000
and he was great until he turned about one and

724
00:51:21,039 --> 00:51:25,920
a half, and then he started to get really unpleasant

725
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,280
at times, not always, it was infrequent enough that it

726
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:33,159
was difficult for us to really like anticipate it. But

727
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,360
finally he got into such a bad fight and wouldn't

728
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,599
let go of this other dog. Luckily, the dog wound

729
00:51:40,639 --> 00:51:43,320
up fine. There wasn't even any blood, he didn't break

730
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,760
the skin. I don't know how they were going as

731
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,159
hard as they were, and neither of them drew blood

732
00:51:49,159 --> 00:51:52,440
on the other. But I never brought him to the

733
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,599
dog park again. This was months ago. Now. Now when

734
00:51:55,639 --> 00:51:58,199
we go to the park, what I'm talking about is

735
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,719
we're going hiking around like a couple of like artificial

736
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:06,840
ponds that we have in our town. But I think

737
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:12,079
about this and like how he'd react, And I feel

738
00:52:12,119 --> 00:52:16,199
like he could be pretty terrifying if he really, like

739
00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:21,960
decided to, But I don't know how much he'd be

740
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,199
able to tell who to attack and who not, Like,

741
00:52:24,199 --> 00:52:27,920
there are dogs that are trained to be your weapon,

742
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:33,960
and he's not that, you know, so I just think

743
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,880
that would be Like, it sounds like it's clearly an

744
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,440
advantage for her, and these dogs sound ideal for this situation,

745
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,440
but I don't think Peppen will work out too well.

746
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,920
I'd be so worried about him. I would probably wind

747
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:48,679
up dead trying to save him, and he'd wind up

748
00:52:48,679 --> 00:52:57,639
dead anyway. So they also show Carl's jug a boom

749
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,039
that gets shown up with like the rest and everything,

750
00:53:01,119 --> 00:53:04,280
which Carl really seemed to take it for granted that

751
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,440
nobody was going to use this and that he wasn't

752
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,280
going to make any money off it. But I think

753
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,320
this is going to wind up being something for him

754
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:20,239
that he has underestimated. And the show ends and Chris

755
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,800
just says he really did have a weird looking dick,

756
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,960
and IMMANI just starts crying and laughing and hanging on

757
00:53:27,039 --> 00:53:32,480
to him. So then they get a heads up, Hello crawlers,

758
00:53:32,519 --> 00:53:35,719
short message today. If you've watched the recap, you can

759
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,320
see our penalties regarding the bathrooms have been a rousing success.

760
00:53:40,119 --> 00:53:42,519
They will remain in place for the remainder of this floor,

761
00:53:42,559 --> 00:53:45,960
but after this floor they will be removed. The satan

762
00:53:46,039 --> 00:53:49,360
little Hedgehogs mob have been removed and replaced to a

763
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:53,639
deeper floor. Apologies to all those effected. We've had a

764
00:53:53,639 --> 00:53:56,880
few complaints about the proliferation of the grub mobs. This

765
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,840
is not a bug and is by design. Finally, due

766
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,039
to the abundance of crawlers camping in safe rooms, we've

767
00:54:04,079 --> 00:54:06,920
been forced to make a difficult decision. From now on,

768
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:10,840
all safe rooms and safe areas will close one hour

769
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,320
prior to floor collapse. Any crawler who is in a

770
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:18,760
designated safe area will be teleported just outside that area

771
00:54:19,119 --> 00:54:25,559
at one hour prior, which sucks, but we also had

772
00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:27,800
wanted to put everybody in stasis on their way to

773
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,280
the next floor. So I kind of felt like this

774
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,280
wasn't actually that big a deal. As long as you

775
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,280
find a staircase, you're able to handle it, you know, granted,

776
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:46,079
as long as you find a staircase. So they take

777
00:54:46,159 --> 00:54:49,079
a moment because they hear everything like has quieted down,

778
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:55,239
and he sees that the Elemental has gone down the

779
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,159
hallway and is following the grubs. It was over in

780
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,239
less than a minute. The thousands of red dots were

781
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:06,679
just gone. The description stated the Elemental dissipated after it

782
00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:10,159
claimed six hundred and sixty six souls. I was hoping

783
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:14,360
the grubs counted toward that number. They didn't. The elemental

784
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:19,519
return thrashing and smashing trying to get back in. So

785
00:55:21,559 --> 00:55:27,079
this is when we shift over to him building this

786
00:55:27,159 --> 00:55:31,480
contraption Mother of all bombs, and it's very funny because

787
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:35,800
they put so much time into this until eventually Immani

788
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,239
is like, why don't we just open the door, because

789
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,760
again these things attack and they will be teleported out.

790
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:47,039
So they decide to give it a try. It's thrown back,

791
00:55:47,079 --> 00:55:49,800
but it's so fast that even though it goes aways,

792
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,760
it's able to come back to them really really quickly,

793
00:55:53,199 --> 00:55:55,559
and Imani is like, let's just keep testing it and

794
00:55:55,639 --> 00:55:59,079
see if it does this, like, maybe it will go

795
00:55:59,159 --> 00:56:05,400
further and further away. Way. This time it came from

796
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,000
another hallway down, but it appeared to have still been

797
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:12,039
teleported out into the main hallway. Each time the elemental

798
00:56:12,039 --> 00:56:14,480
took anywhere from seventy five to one hundred and twenty

799
00:56:14,519 --> 00:56:18,079
seconds to return. It was clear the monster was unintelligent,

800
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:22,760
nothing more than the single minded embodiment of rage. We

801
00:56:23,039 --> 00:56:25,880
eventually closed the door, not wanting to create any more

802
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:31,039
grub corpses. So it was a very good idea, but yeah,

803
00:56:31,079 --> 00:56:36,320
it's too fast and too like, there's no way to

804
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,159
outsmart something that doesn't use its intelligence. Do you know

805
00:56:39,199 --> 00:56:49,239
what I'm saying? He mentioned something about Chris says like

806
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,039
he wants to call it bomb chicken because this name

807
00:56:52,119 --> 00:56:54,280
isn't really right, And later on don'na it's like, I

808
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:59,519
think I like that better too, And she says at

809
00:56:59,519 --> 00:57:05,039
this point about how she hit one trillion. So I'm

810
00:57:05,119 --> 00:57:08,320
running out of time here and I am just going

811
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:13,440
to kind of like skim over the way that this

812
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,960
whole thing works. But suffice to say, the way that

813
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:23,239
they handle this rage elemental, it's a combination of using

814
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,079
a bunch of bombs that are loaded onto this thing

815
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,960
in such a way that they will be able to

816
00:57:31,159 --> 00:57:37,280
in sequence explode on this thing and start to get

817
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:42,000
its health down. But also they are going to lure

818
00:57:42,079 --> 00:57:46,840
it toward one of these stairways and they put down

819
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:51,159
a bunch of oil so that it slides and cannot

820
00:57:51,159 --> 00:57:55,000
stop itself from going down the stairs, which results in

821
00:57:55,079 --> 00:57:58,760
its being killed. And they don't get credit for it

822
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:04,559
because they didn't kill They just utilized the hallway against them,

823
00:58:05,039 --> 00:58:08,800
which is very interesting because we know because of talking

824
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:12,440
to that troll woman, the Shamanka, that this is what happens.

825
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,880
You try and go down the hall or down the

826
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:18,960
stairs and you die. I am curious whether or not

827
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,280
we're gonna run into this thing again and we're gonna

828
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,320
find out that isn't what happens. That you don't die,

829
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,079
that's just the story that's happened. She says that she

830
00:58:26,159 --> 00:58:29,119
has seen it herself, but maybe she thought she saw

831
00:58:29,119 --> 00:58:32,280
that and that's not what was really happening. I also

832
00:58:32,519 --> 00:58:35,599
kind of wonder if they're going to do something where

833
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:39,880
now that doesn't happen because they managed to utilize it

834
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,880
to kill a creature, and maybe the game runners are

835
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,440
not going to look kindly on that, and they're going

836
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,719
to feel like, we have to find a different way

837
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:54,199
to utilize these stairways so that creatures don't go down

838
00:58:54,280 --> 00:59:00,320
the stairs to the next level, but also isn't as

839
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,639
easy to access by the crawlers themselves to use as

840
00:59:03,679 --> 00:59:10,840
a weapon. I don't know. So let's see. I'm trying

841
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,519
to get to the spot here where they reached this point,

842
00:59:14,559 --> 00:59:17,559
because there it's like this this middle chapter here is

843
00:59:17,599 --> 00:59:22,079
really completely about all of the action of getting this

844
00:59:22,159 --> 00:59:24,519
thing set up, and I just, you know, I think

845
00:59:24,559 --> 00:59:26,840
that I adequately described it. I don't feel like I

846
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,800
need to get any more into the details of it here,

847
00:59:30,119 --> 00:59:36,639
so I'm just going to move on to chapter forty one. Oh,

848
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,800
Michael says, I didn't think the bombs were meant to

849
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:41,519
really hurt it at all. It was just meant to

850
00:59:41,599 --> 00:59:43,880
knock it back, to delay it from being able to

851
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:48,079
catch up to them. Fair that's true, because like, it

852
00:59:48,079 --> 00:59:49,800
doesn't matter how low they get a health bar. If

853
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,559
it goes down the stairs, it's gone anyway. So you're right,

854
00:59:52,599 --> 01:00:00,519
that wouldn't really even matter. So he says, with the

855
01:00:00,599 --> 01:00:05,239
unfortunate destruction of the Chopper, our travel options were now limited.

856
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,920
I had enough crap in my massive inventory to probably

857
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,679
build another one, but I didn't know what I was

858
01:00:10,719 --> 01:00:13,599
doing with the boiler part. Hopefully we could find another

859
01:00:13,719 --> 01:00:16,320
set of goblins to help us, or better, yeah, find

860
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:21,199
something more reliable. About forty minutes after we killed the Elemental,

861
01:00:21,519 --> 01:00:25,599
the tattered remains of Metal Lark entered the chamber. There

862
01:00:25,639 --> 01:00:28,960
were thirty six left, piled into three separate shopping cart

863
01:00:29,079 --> 01:00:34,239
like contraptions. Chris and Amani pushed the two larger people buckets,

864
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:41,440
as Brandon called them, and Brandon Mencher mentions all those

865
01:00:41,519 --> 01:00:45,480
chrysalis out there just you know something fun to look

866
01:00:45,519 --> 01:00:49,639
forward to. I said my goodbyes to Chris and Amani.

867
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:54,320
I found Dona on the lap of Missus mcgibbons, purring away, Barry,

868
01:00:54,719 --> 01:00:58,639
where are we? We're in the dungeon, Missus mcgibbons. It's me, Carl.

869
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,480
You're going down to the next floor the dungeon like

870
01:01:02,519 --> 01:01:05,639
a sex thing. I don't know if I'm ever going

871
01:01:05,679 --> 01:01:09,039
to see you again, I said, kneeling down. She sat

872
01:01:09,079 --> 01:01:12,599
in the people bucket, looking about, eyes wide. I wanted

873
01:01:12,599 --> 01:01:16,519
to say goodbye. She reached up and touched my cheek.

874
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,880
We should have had children, Berry. I wish I hadn't

875
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:25,320
talked you into working so hard. I grasped her hand.

876
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,840
It's okay, it's going to be okay. I remembered my

877
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,960
mom saying the same thing to me the day she'd left.

878
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,400
It had been a lie then, and it was a

879
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,960
lie now. I think I've had too much to drink

880
01:01:38,559 --> 01:01:41,119
or I'm having another one of those acid flashbacks. This

881
01:01:41,239 --> 01:01:46,320
cat keeps talking to me. I smiled. Goodbye, Missus mcgibbons.

882
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,679
I love her. I know that she's going to have

883
01:01:49,719 --> 01:01:51,599
to die at some point, and I'm not looking forward

884
01:01:51,599 --> 01:01:59,239
to it. What a bummer, so they have to take off,

885
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:05,760
and they run into coalbalds which apparently look a lot

886
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:11,760
like chihuahua's and they are riding danger dingoes and I

887
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:15,360
love Donut just being like dogs riding on dogs. This

888
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,599
is a literal nightmare I have had, Oh my god,

889
01:02:18,679 --> 01:02:26,880
which is very funny to me. The monster snarl and

890
01:02:27,039 --> 01:02:30,079
bark was deeper, more terrifying than that of its rider.

891
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,639
The dingo on top of me shuddered, then fell over dead,

892
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:39,079
stinking blood and gore washed over me. As I pushed

893
01:02:39,119 --> 01:02:42,400
it off, Donut landed deftly next to me and started

894
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,440
licking her paw. That was pretty slick. You're getting a

895
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,039
lot better at that. I think I have a bonus

896
01:02:48,079 --> 01:02:52,679
to damage against the canine creatures. That reminds me. I

897
01:02:52,679 --> 01:02:54,679
said something weird earlier, and I forgot to tell you

898
01:02:54,719 --> 01:02:58,000
about it. It was a new tab that said racial benefits,

899
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,000
but it was only there for a second and disappeared.

900
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:05,800
That is weird, I said instinctively. I pulled up my

901
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,000
own menu and I didn't have anything like that. It

902
01:03:09,039 --> 01:03:11,079
would be really fucked up if this turned out to

903
01:03:11,079 --> 01:03:14,320
be a thing that was like racist in a very

904
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,920
like human earth kind of way. I have no idea

905
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,400
if that's anything that this author is interested in even touching,

906
01:03:22,039 --> 01:03:26,679
so I kind of hope not. But also for entertainment,

907
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:30,519
I could see them being like, eh, whatever, nothing's off limits. No,

908
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:37,000
we're just ofvended. So anyway, this is when they get

909
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:41,119
the Mano toast. Mano toast. This is toast. It refills

910
01:03:41,119 --> 01:03:46,840
your manna. That's it, nothing more. Fuck you. Well that

911
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,480
was unnecessary, I muttered. I gave my peace to Donut,

912
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:56,920
who tucked them both away into her inventory. So this

913
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,119
is the spot where there is like a shower and

914
01:03:59,159 --> 01:04:02,559
a drinking fountain in a couple of beds. We don't

915
01:04:02,599 --> 01:04:05,519
have one of those protectors here making us a nice

916
01:04:05,639 --> 01:04:09,519
fried chicken, unfortunately. And this is when they get the

917
01:04:09,639 --> 01:04:14,400
contact from Mukta. Your outreach associate has been put in

918
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:18,639
a time out. She will return to you tomorrow. And

919
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:23,440
she I'm saying, Mukta is she? But I actually don't

920
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,840
know that. But Mukta is telling them there is a

921
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,760
new show that they are going on called Dungeon Crawl

922
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,320
Tactics or no, that was what they had been gonna

923
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,280
go on. They are going to be going on this

924
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,920
other thing. Which Mucta doesn't tell them the name of

925
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,480
They find it out later from the robot that they

926
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:45,760
are being managed by, which we'll get there. The front

927
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,519
of my jacket was still covered in dingo gore. I

928
01:04:48,599 --> 01:04:51,039
moved to the bathroom to clean myself off as best

929
01:04:51,079 --> 01:04:54,159
I could, And they don't get the option to refuse

930
01:04:54,199 --> 01:04:57,400
to do this. They have to go on. So apparently

931
01:04:58,039 --> 01:05:01,880
either Zev was lying or Zev was willing to like

932
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,960
work with them in a way that Mukta is clearly not.

933
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:13,800
And we get new achievement, grease monkey, he gets a

934
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:17,679
silver mechanics box and new achievement. You call that a trap.

935
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,400
A mob has been injured because of something you purposely

936
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:24,599
left lying around the dungeon. From scattered legos to spiked pits,

937
01:05:24,599 --> 01:05:28,119
to buckets of flesh devouring skinner ants to dimensional rifts

938
01:05:28,159 --> 01:05:30,880
that instantly boil all the blood in one's body. The

939
01:05:31,039 --> 01:05:34,039
art of trap making has a celebrated and storied history

940
01:05:34,079 --> 01:05:36,960
in the annals of dungeon crawler world. So if you're

941
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,760
going to do it, you better do it right. Whatever

942
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:41,480
it was that gave you this achievement, it was probably

943
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,840
something stupid. This will help you make the next trap

944
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:50,199
more exciting. Remember, if you don't make it titillating, we

945
01:05:50,239 --> 01:05:57,719
will reward. You've received a gold Sappers box. And he's

946
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:01,519
wondering what caused this achieve and he's thinking that it

947
01:06:01,639 --> 01:06:04,800
must be like dropping the chain, or maybe it's the

948
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:08,920
oil slick. I feel like the oil slick can't count

949
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:15,000
if they didn't get the achievement from like killing the creature,

950
01:06:15,039 --> 01:06:17,840
because they didn't actually kill it. The oil slick didn't

951
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,079
damage it, It just carried it towards the stairs, So

952
01:06:21,119 --> 01:06:24,559
I don't feel like that could be it. My first thought, honestly,

953
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:26,960
was that it was like the bomb that he had

954
01:06:27,039 --> 01:06:32,320
left on that rat for Frank and Maggie defined but

955
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:37,280
they're not a mob. It says specifically a trap you

956
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:42,880
left killed a mob, so I don't know. He gets

957
01:06:43,039 --> 01:06:49,800
a Gorgon marital aid, which looks like a spatula. It's

958
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:54,039
just infusing joints or creating varying degrees of plasticity in

959
01:06:54,079 --> 01:06:59,960
otherwise rigid materials without affecting material strength, and then proximity

960
01:07:00,159 --> 01:07:04,719
trigger using a Sappers table. The highly valuable proximity trigger

961
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:08,480
may be attached to any non static trap allows for

962
01:07:08,559 --> 01:07:14,119
the establishment of activation conditions including countdowns, mob type triggers,

963
01:07:14,199 --> 01:07:19,559
et cetera. I don't even understand that. I don't even know, like,

964
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:22,760
I don't know what that means. I'll be honest with

965
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,840
you guys. So I'm just gonna sort of like not

966
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:26,880
worry about it until it comes up and I'm sure

967
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,119
it will be explained a little bit more thoroughly then.

968
01:07:31,079 --> 01:07:33,440
So this is when they get transferred and they aren't

969
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:37,880
even in like a decent green room. They're not being

970
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:42,280
given like little treats. The place is shitty. The vibe

971
01:07:42,519 --> 01:07:47,039
is that this is a very low rent sort of place.

972
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:52,800
MES fifty five appears. You're in a rental trailer owned

973
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:57,519
and operated by Senegal Production Systems Unlimited. This trailer is

974
01:07:57,639 --> 01:08:00,840
used by multiple tunnel productions related to the craw. These

975
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:04,719
facilities have been leased by the program death Watch Extreme

976
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,599
Dungeon Mayhem. Sit in the provided chairs and keep your

977
01:08:08,639 --> 01:08:11,599
limbs to your side while the table generates. The hollow

978
01:08:11,639 --> 01:08:15,599
will commence in sixty seconds. What's the host name? Don'tut

979
01:08:15,599 --> 01:08:22,239
ask the maestro. Her previous previously emotionless voice hinted an

980
01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:29,840
air of distaste. Death Watch Extreme Dungeon Mayhem. That's the

981
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:34,840
stupidest name I've ever heard. Yeah, wait until you see

982
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,600
the show, Max fifty five said before rising up into

983
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:43,439
the ceiling. And that's the end of the chapter. I

984
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,640
am really really curious. It feels like they are going

985
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:51,399
they are getting penalized, so I have to assume this

986
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,760
is not gonna be good. I feel like this is

987
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,880
not gonna be the fun little chit chat that we

988
01:08:55,920 --> 01:09:00,520
had at the last one. Is it's gonna be It's

989
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:05,359
gonna be bad. So I'm over time as usual. I've

990
01:09:05,359 --> 01:09:08,119
got to wrap up. But thank you guys again so

991
01:09:08,239 --> 01:09:10,319
