1
00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me

2
00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:19,920
covering Dungeon Crawler Carl book seven, this inevitable ruin chapters

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,519
forty seven through fifty one, but also kind of covering

4
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:26,519
forty six from the last time, which may result in

5
00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:28,679
me not finishing all of those chapters this time. You

6
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:35,560
know the draw right now in this section, the Naga

7
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:39,359
are smarter than I want them to be. I was

8
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:48,280
so worried about this. But on the plus side, Prepotente right,

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:01:12,200
Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone. I

10
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:16,519
am Natasha. Thank you very much to Michael for commissioning

11
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:23,680
this episode. So chapter forty six won't really it's a

12
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,680
chapter which has, to a degree we've covered a lot

13
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:33,120
of what's going on in it. It's about the whole

14
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:37,599
deal with the Sepsis whore and how she disappears. And

15
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,560
you know the fact that we had a plan set

16
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,120
up to handle things in this way and before obviously

17
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:48,959
they knew that Prepotente was going to be in the mix,

18
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,280
and here was what we were going to do, and

19
00:01:51,359 --> 00:01:56,280
everything surrounding this plan was predicated on the assumption that

20
00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:59,959
the Naga had a bunch of soldiers that they had

21
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:03,000
essentially an army that we needed to distract, and then

22
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,959
it turns out no, they don't, which is uh.

23
00:02:08,439 --> 00:02:08,599
Speaker 2: I.

24
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:17,199
Speaker 1: You know, Carl takes it as cool. There's no army,

25
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:19,879
and so this is going to be a lot easier

26
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:26,840
than I thought. And all I could think was, I'm

27
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:28,840
not trying to pretend that I knew for sure what

28
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,639
was going to happen, because I didn't. But I couldn't

29
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,800
help but feel like the fact that she herself alone

30
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,240
manages to escape every time and then come back and

31
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,560
nobody knows where she's been indicates to me she's the

32
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,719
thing you've got to worry about, and the army is

33
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:51,280
just like, the army's the distraction, you know what I mean.

34
00:02:53,439 --> 00:03:00,879
So anyway, I just really was as he's going through

35
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,759
all of this and they're talking about what the possibilities are.

36
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,000
This is when Donut finds out that the blood bars

37
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:13,360
don't drain if you're in the Desperado Club or if

38
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,960
you're in Club Vanquisher, which really does seem like a

39
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,400
major loophole that I am surprised that AI hasn't decided

40
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:22,639
to close yet. I know the whole I love a

41
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,439
good loophole. But that just feels like the thing with

42
00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:27,319
the AI is that it wants to be entertained, and

43
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:30,000
that feels like it's detracting from the entertainment, you know,

44
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,960
But that's just me. So she you know, obviously this

45
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,599
is why fernand is sticking to staying at the bar,

46
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:40,080
and she just is like, I don't know what I

47
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,840
ever saw on him and Donut. This is the evolution

48
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,360
that every woman has to go through of dating when

49
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,960
we are young and then looking back and being like,

50
00:03:51,080 --> 00:04:00,120
what was I thinking. So it ends with Carl being like, Okay,

51
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:04,759
if even if she's in the club, how does she

52
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,800
get there with nobody noticing? Like teleportation is not on

53
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,560
the table right now? And also where in the club

54
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:16,399
is she because they're big places with lots of secret

55
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:21,560
rooms and YadA YadA. And so then we go on

56
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,959
to chapter forty seven. I really enjoyed this little moment

57
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:30,959
because Louis is saying, I see the slug alows. They

58
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,279
have a cart and they're doing donuts in the grass

59
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,399
and I was like, they're doing what And then I

60
00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:38,759
realized they're doing donuts. Oh yeah, And then a second

61
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:46,439
later donuts, says Louis, will you not call it donuts?

62
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:55,199
So then we get the bit of everybody working together

63
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,079
and what exactly they're all going to do. Ellie Amani

64
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,240
and a few of the strippers were always playing on

65
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:02,399
going into the castle, but we'd planned on sending the

66
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:05,160
slugs in first. They were expendable and actually seemed to

67
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:10,519
like the idea of dying in battle, and we'd given

68
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:13,240
Amani trap killing tools, but that was always under the

69
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,160
assumption the vast majority of traps would have already been

70
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:20,480
triggered by the slugs. Imani's new spell was intended for cleanup,

71
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:24,600
not primary defense. They would be heading into extreme danger.

72
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,000
So what we find out is that the skill that's

73
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:36,480
been transferred using this tattoo is actually to Immani and

74
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:43,319
it's Carl's tripper skill. There's another thing that's been transferred

75
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,279
as well, which we like, we'll get there later, but

76
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,920
uh yeah, it's a very fun, weird ability this tattoo thing.

77
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,720
I kind of want to go back and reread the

78
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:00,240
AI summary of it, because, like, I know that the

79
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,720
summary did not adequately explain what it does, but I

80
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,079
would like to see what it does say and if

81
00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:10,560
there is a ceiling to like how many times it

82
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,959
can be used or like does he make the ink

83
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,160
or does it come with ink? And that's what has

84
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:21,639
to be used explicitly. I don't really remember a lot

85
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:28,199
of the way that works. So we have a little

86
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,000
bit of a back and forth here that is not

87
00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:36,199
out loud between Kachya and Batista, and it turns out

88
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Bautista really wants Kotchya to eat that flour and just

89
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:47,560
move on to the what is it eleventh floor? And

90
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,160
what it turns out she says to Carl once they're

91
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:59,519
like talking privately, she says he thinks it's too risky

92
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,800
and that if if it doesn't go well, you'll turn

93
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,199
on me to get the flower to give to donut.

94
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,399
Do you know what happens then, guys, A chill hit me.

95
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,879
I'm so sorry, but I am going to keep doing this,

96
00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:18,000
so please just be ready for that. It doesn't wash

97
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,839
over him though, so you know that's something. But followed

98
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:26,639
by the sentence, I hadn't even considered that. And that's

99
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:33,199
the thing, right, is like when you are a somewhat

100
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,160
decent person, some things just don't cross your mind at all.

101
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,399
It doesn't even you know what I mean? And you'll

102
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:45,240
almost feel stupid, But then there's a part of you

103
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:47,079
that's like, maybe it's a good thing that my brain

104
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,120
doesn't work like that. It's got me worried. Do I

105
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,120
need to worry about Batista? Like obviously we all know

106
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,600
if it comes down to Katia or Donut, it's going

107
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:04,240
to be Donut, and that's just it. But it hasn't

108
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:11,319
really felt like Bautista is like him and Katya have

109
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:17,560
felt inconsistent enough that I wasn't really seeing him as

110
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,959
somebody that we needed to worry about going up against

111
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,199
in that case, which really is actually foolish of me

112
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,920
and shortsighted. So now I'm looking at him a little

113
00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:29,600
different and realizing like, oh wow, we might have to

114
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,519
like get through him if anything were to happen, which

115
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,360
I just don't want to see in the first place,

116
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:42,519
never mind having to go against Bautista. But yeah, this

117
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:50,519
whole thing is so it's understandable that he is worried

118
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:54,840
because it's just smart. It's just smart to worry about this,

119
00:08:55,639 --> 00:09:03,759
and Carl can be ruthless in a way. But it

120
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,600
does surprise me every time when it feels like people

121
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:10,799
just fundamentally don't get him and this is one of

122
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:15,320
those times for me of like, yeah, he's ruthless when

123
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,919
nothing can be done for a crawler and they are

124
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:27,159
agreeing they want out or it's not a crawler. Otherwise,

125
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:33,200
I haven't seen any evidence that we need to worry

126
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,159
about him turning on anybody. It's just this situation that

127
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,519
they have been put in, breeding this paranoia, and it

128
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,559
makes me really sad to know that it's like it's succeeding,

129
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,039
because that's the point of this sort of device in

130
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,519
these games, is to pit people against each other. And

131
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:59,440
I really thought that we were managing to like avoid

132
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:02,320
letting that happened to us, that it wasn't working, And

133
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,519
now it's looking like maybe it is working, and it's

134
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,919
just on the DL because who's going to talk to

135
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:17,519
Carl about it, you know. So it just is in

136
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:21,879
terms of the evidence, Michael is saying, we're fortunate to

137
00:10:21,919 --> 00:10:24,480
be basically riding in Carl's head from the outside, he

138
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,919
has to look a lot scarier. Sure, but again the evidence,

139
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,759
you know, Michael says, for example, I am fucking terrified

140
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:38,200
of Lena, but maybe she's not as fucking terrifying as

141
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,200
she looks. I disagree deeply. Michael will get there in

142
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,679
a second. Jeff says, last night I had a Newish

143
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,120
friend over for the first time, and I felt the

144
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:51,080
need to hide my riddle in thanks to capitalism. Good god,

145
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:53,799
there was you know what. I'm not even gonna get

146
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:58,320
into it, but it was a real So anyway, the

147
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:03,720
evidence with Karl just does not point to him ever

148
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:08,799
even considering doing something like this. Sure he can be scary, absolutely,

149
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,559
but there is a difference. There's a very distinct and

150
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:19,159
very describable, easy to understand difference in my mind, and

151
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,799
so the fact that Bautista seems unable to see that

152
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,919
has me thinking Batista just doesn't understand Carl in the

153
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,320
way that I think other people may a little bit more.

154
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:36,320
You can be scared of him, but also be like,

155
00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:41,360
that's about him maybe snapping in a certain sense, but

156
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,039
not about him ever turning on his own because I

157
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,279
just never like, I don't know, there's just nothing that

158
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,799
points to that. All it is is the fact that like, oh,

159
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,720
he's kind of unstable. The one thing that happened was

160
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,360
with Lee June, and he wasn't incoded, like everybody knows

161
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,399
that he was taken over. Now the only reason that

162
00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:03,840
maybe this thing with Batista is that, you know, the

163
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:06,600
she Maria eye in his chest. Maybe what if she

164
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:09,759
takes over. I don't know how well Carl has made

165
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:11,919
it understood to everybody that he's in control of she

166
00:12:12,039 --> 00:12:15,279
Maria now, so that's another question, and how like do

167
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,240
they believe him? But it doesn't feel like that's what

168
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:20,879
it is. It feels like this is about Carl and

169
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:28,960
not she Maria. So anyway, Kachia says, if it comes

170
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,720
to this, I will give you the flower, like I

171
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:35,559
don't care. I'm going to make sure that you two

172
00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:39,639
get to the next floor. And Carl's like, I don't

173
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:42,720
want that. And even if I did, which again I

174
00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:46,200
do not, donut would never let you do that. And

175
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,120
She's like, I know, and that's why I haven't said

176
00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:57,039
anything to her about it. So we have the uh

177
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,559
tripp or spell thing happen, and it actually hurts Carl

178
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,080
when this ability is used off of him, which is interesting.

179
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:10,279
It said the spell would slowly heal over the course

180
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,960
of four days. Meanwhile, and Moni's version would slowly lose

181
00:13:15,039 --> 00:13:19,679
potency and she'd eventually lose the spell. The tattoo itself

182
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:22,159
made from the Tory Lane yam ink mixed with my

183
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,759
blood would be permanent, and it seems like it would

184
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,080
just be it's only this that they can use for ink.

185
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,759
If Amani ever wanted to use that spell again after

186
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:37,159
it faded, I could drink the yam potion, select the

187
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:39,039
spell and it would get re energized. We were just

188
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,960
limited by the fact that we had barely any of

189
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,360
the vegetable left, so that being sent to him way

190
00:13:45,399 --> 00:13:51,759
back when and now realizing how important it is is agonizing.

191
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,840
I really wish that he could have been sent a

192
00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:59,960
sack of them or something. Spells and skills taken against

193
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:03,080
the owner's will were much more powerful and resulted in

194
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,960
the owner losing them permanently, which of course we know.

195
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,399
But that is something that he could potentially use on

196
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,960
some of his enemies, and that is a really scary

197
00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:20,440
thing and is also super useful, having to hold somebody

198
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,120
down and give them a tattoo against their will. I

199
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,879
guess there's spells that you can like paralyze somebody with,

200
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,240
but you'd have to get around any protection they have

201
00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:33,320
because just piercing their skin. A lot of folks, you know,

202
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,279
that's not even possible with certain spells who That would

203
00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:50,720
be tricky. So finally we get Prepotente arriving and I, you, guys, Karl,

204
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,720
Prepotente said, I held up at hand. Look, we can't

205
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,399
talk at all unless you're in the army. I know

206
00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:01,279
you don't want I know, Carl, I am not an

207
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,639
imbecile recruit me. I paused, Are you sure? Do it

208
00:15:06,679 --> 00:15:08,519
now before I change my mind? If this is the

209
00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:11,840
only way I may selfish this utter fuck up on

210
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:20,039
your end, then make it so. And Carl had a

211
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,480
conscription potion on him that he even admits to himself

212
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,559
it probably wouldn't have worked, which, considering bro is ninety nine. Yeah,

213
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:32,840
I think maybe it wouldn't have worked. But I love this.

214
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:37,519
The moment I stowed the potion a strange What were

215
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,879
you thinking? Clarity hit me. No, not like that, never

216
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,279
like that. The river always there seemed to grow a

217
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,960
little bit around the edges. It's easy to think that

218
00:15:51,399 --> 00:15:53,080
when it's no longer necessary.

219
00:15:53,919 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: Ooh, that is a brutal line, you guys. Oh, oh

220
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:10,639
my god. I cannot emphasize enough how much I like

221
00:16:10,879 --> 00:16:13,639
stopped for a second and just had to sit with that.

222
00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:18,759
Speaker 1: It just that there's just no denying the truth of

223
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:21,960
that statement. How easy it is to say that you

224
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:29,000
would never do a thing, you know. And then it

225
00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:31,200
makes me think of how there's a lot of folks

226
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,440
out there that are saying that, you know, oh, I'd

227
00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:37,759
rather die than be enslaved. I'd kill myself rather than

228
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:42,799
being and it's like, in practice that's not proven to

229
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,720
be true. Most people want to stay alive, and they

230
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:52,080
are willing to go through suffering if it means that

231
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,639
they'll survive. And I really get it. It just is

232
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:02,679
I can't imagine trying to actually conscript Pony like what

233
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:04,920
that does to their relationship with him, because that is

234
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,880
just he is so powerful and he is so dangerous,

235
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:15,279
and doing that it would have just been I understand

236
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,960
the impulse, but it just seems like such a stupid

237
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:27,400
move to me, you know eh. Anyway, look, Prepotente, I

238
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,640
really appreciate you coming to help us, and when we

239
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,160
have time, I hope you'll tell me what you did

240
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,319
to kill their army. We're on the same side here

241
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,960
and we really need to talk more. You don't need

242
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,559
to do this all by the goat rushed forward and

243
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:46,240
pulled me into a tight hug. He started to uncontrollably sob,

244
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,119
You're my best friend, cap. I've been so lonely when

245
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,319
you didn't show up at the behalf of the Blast four,

246
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,119
I thought he didn't finish a sentence. He was letting

247
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:03,759
out these huge wet snot filled saws us and I

248
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:08,599
lost my shit, you guys, I lost it. I was

249
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,920
listening to this yesterday. We're working on some stuff in

250
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,240
our kitchen that's requiring a lot of assembly and you know,

251
00:18:17,559 --> 00:18:20,279
power drills and whatnot, so I've needed things in my

252
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,799
ears and I was in the middle of doing something

253
00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:26,039
and I had to put my thing down because I

254
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:31,400
was laughing too hard. It was so unexpected. It's like,

255
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,759
thinking back to the way he's been, it shouldn't be

256
00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:39,079
that unexpected, Like, actually, this has proven to be who

257
00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:43,480
he is more than once. But I just keep forgetting.

258
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,839
And then the fact that he hits the last time,

259
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,720
no more warm hugs for me, and that's like the

260
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:54,839
first thing he does is wonderful, it's great. I love

261
00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:01,720
it absolutely, no fucking notes whatsoever. And then he says,

262
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,599
let's put our differences aside. I'm ready for the emptiness

263
00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:07,400
to be filled. I have several enhanced pet biscuits. But

264
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,559
after what happened last time, I've been so afraid and

265
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:12,680
now I'm afraid it's too late. Bianca is fine company,

266
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,559
but she doesn't speak. You are absolutely right. We need

267
00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:17,839
to keep communicating. I need to come to terms with

268
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,160
you being an idiot and be grateful for what I have.

269
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:28,480
You can't help how stupid you are. Oh, oh my god,

270
00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:33,839
you can't help how stupid you are. If I haven't

271
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,599
had that exact thought in my life a lot of times,

272
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,680
Oh it is really it's not flattering to see that,

273
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,799
but I do indeed think this way occasionally. I also

274
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,599
want to mention, like the pet biscuits, that he's so

275
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,839
afraid and he says, now I'm afraid it's too late.

276
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,480
What was he because? Does he want to fee another

277
00:20:00,519 --> 00:20:03,079
one to Bianca? I don't remember what the rules are.

278
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,559
Can they give more than one to a pet? Is

279
00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:10,440
that possible? Or is he talking about giving one to

280
00:20:11,319 --> 00:20:16,599
rend or eating one himself. He's not a pet though, now,

281
00:20:17,079 --> 00:20:23,759
so that wouldn't work, like, because you know what, he

282
00:20:23,839 --> 00:20:27,039
has several also, so it may be all of the

283
00:20:27,079 --> 00:20:35,960
above that he's planning on using them for. I don't know. Sorry, Rob, says.

284
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,720
Someone on the subreddit did a calligraphic rendering of that

285
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:40,599
you can't help how stupid you are a line, and

286
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,200
I just want that on my wall. That's brilliant. That's brilliant.

287
00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:47,680
Michael says, No, Miriam don fed another to one of

288
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,279
her goats and there was a negative effect. Yeah, no,

289
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,119
I know that. But he says, I have several enhanced

290
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,119
pet biscuits. So it sounds like he's saying and now

291
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,119
I'm afraid it's too late. So it sounds like he

292
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,440
has them in his inventory and he is planning to

293
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:08,839
use them for something I don't but I don't know

294
00:21:08,839 --> 00:21:10,880
what it is. And he's saying it almost like Karl

295
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,759
should know, like they've talked about this before, you know,

296
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:19,039
So I feel like I miss something. But uh, anyway,

297
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,759
I love that. Samantha off to the side is yelling kiss.

298
00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:28,599
I swear to God, Samantha. She is such a complete disaster.

299
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,480
So we have a little moment where Samantha is on

300
00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:37,720
Bianca's back and he yells at her to get down,

301
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:40,359
and she has an attitude and she starts to do

302
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,359
the usual I will kill your mother line, and Katya

303
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:47,640
is able to grab her before she says it and

304
00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:50,559
is like, you do not want to say that to him,

305
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:53,440
because if you do, he is going to lose his

306
00:21:53,839 --> 00:21:59,759
entire shit and it's going to be very ugly and

307
00:21:59,839 --> 00:22:04,440
we don't need to deal with that right now. And Carl,

308
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,680
because like Samantha calls caught youa a bitch and Carl

309
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:13,799
is like, no, Samantha, please listen to her. If you

310
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,400
do it again, he's gonna punch you across the map

311
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,920
and you won't be allowed to go with us. And

312
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,759
that stops her, and she's like, wait what, I am

313
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,039
very concerned. I feel like probably she's gonna say it again.

314
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,799
It's just a compulsion. It's like a vocal tick for her.

315
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,319
It's not even like she thinks about it when she

316
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,359
says it, you know, So I just feel like that's coming.

317
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:47,319
Uh oh, we'll see. Then we get Baron is Victory

318
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,440
popping up and she's been watching this whole thing from

319
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,599
the beginning. Actually, but this is when he says something

320
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:56,799
about is your family this dysfunctional? I asked the moment

321
00:22:56,839 --> 00:23:00,400
I asked, I regretted it. I suddenly remembered exactly how

322
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,759
dysfunctional her family was. Still a small grin played across

323
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:08,440
the stoic Orc's face. I smiled back. I did like that,

324
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,119
even if you maybe put your foot in your mouth

325
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,359
a little bit, is still you know. I like it.

326
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,240
And then Ellie chimes in in the chat Coming to

327
00:23:19,319 --> 00:23:22,039
the Throne room, finally ran into some nagas plus a

328
00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:25,960
few other NPC guards and they all worship Embras just

329
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,039
like you predicted. Had to kill them all, including a

330
00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:31,839
big naga that one didn't worship any god, but he

331
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,680
went down hard, which we find out that's one of

332
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,400
the main four that they have to kill, who is

333
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:47,079
apparently her actual boyfriend. I was like, really curious, is

334
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,680
this a Is this a sacrifice that she makes on

335
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,200
purpose to make it?

336
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: Like?

337
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,079
Speaker 1: Does he know he's being sacrificed. I have a lot

338
00:23:56,079 --> 00:24:00,200
of questions because obviously in the end, the Sultana had

339
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,119
seen this coming and was waiting and had things in place.

340
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:08,279
So there is a method to why things are set

341
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,880
up the way they are, and I'm thinking giving them

342
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,519
this little win is a way of encouraging them to

343
00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:20,000
continue forward because they think, you've only we've only got

344
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,000
for total and we're almost done. We can't stop now,

345
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:32,839
you know. Anyway, So let me go to chapter forty nine,

346
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,440
and it starts with a note from Karl, and this

347
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:42,640
is all information about the deities, which is the way

348
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,960
that they believe things work with the Sultana. I am

349
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:53,319
not going to read this entire thing, but suffice to

350
00:24:53,359 --> 00:25:01,079
say is it is fairly simple once this cause is

351
00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:07,640
thought of, to narrow down which God would be used

352
00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:10,920
to accomplish this, because only some have the ability to

353
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,759
teleport a person who isn't a worshiper, and of those few,

354
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:25,319
there would be another. Like there's one other, THEA. And

355
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:29,680
let's see, I'm trying to find the bit where he

356
00:25:29,759 --> 00:25:33,920
explains like she was sponsored by someone in the employee

357
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,039
of the Pacifist network, so this is actually not part

358
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:42,640
of the plan. Carl calls this a coincidence, which I believe.

359
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:51,759
But this leads to one other God. Let's see, they

360
00:25:51,759 --> 00:25:55,000
had sponsored THEA because THEA was Samantha's mother. Excuse me,

361
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,039
they had sponsored her to help save my life at

362
00:25:57,079 --> 00:25:58,559
the end of the fifth floor. She was the one

363
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:00,279
who had appeared at the end of the floor when

364
00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:03,559
we first took Samantha out of the safe room. THEA

365
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:06,880
was in theory enraged at Samantha, but because of the sponsorship,

366
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,920
she hadn't caused any problems and had only appeared to

367
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,039
kill that giant demon Slit. She'd been too far away

368
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:19,680
for me to get information before, and Vignata had to

369
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,039
know theo was sponsored, and there was no way she'd

370
00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:26,640
choose her this season, So that left the other god Capri.

371
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:32,480
This is so weird, guys. The quest to gain more

372
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:37,680
followers only happened if the new worshiper was female, so

373
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:46,039
this basically like that this transportation wouldn't occur if she weren't.

374
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:46,519
Speaker 2: She.

375
00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:51,319
Speaker 1: Instead of turning into modes of light, the prospective adherence

376
00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:54,880
would be changed to literal beetles, and the female adherent

377
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,519
in question would then have to swallow these beetles whole.

378
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,440
She would be transferred to the temple of Capri, which

379
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,359
would be in the form of a giant, never ending

380
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,839
buffet feast that was absolutely covered with insects of all kinds. There,

381
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,079
the adherent would sit upon the center of the buffet table,

382
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,039
and she would give birth to the beetles she'd swallowed,

383
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,079
where they'd quickly turn back to their previous form. The

384
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,279
prospects would spend the next few weeks sitting in the

385
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:29,640
room with an infinite bug infested buffet. I want to

386
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,599
know why it always has to be bugs? Why do

387
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,960
we need it to always be the gods are covered

388
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,079
in boils and give you horrific diseases or their bugs.

389
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:48,799
Oh my god, I just hate it so much. So

390
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:57,200
this is, you know, the my antennas start to go

391
00:27:57,279 --> 00:28:01,480
up here pun intended because it just felt like there

392
00:28:01,519 --> 00:28:07,480
were so many clues leading to us coming to this conclusion.

393
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:14,400
It's been described as this ongoing mystery. And look, granted,

394
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,559
I understand the way that these types of mysteries work

395
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,720
that like on social media, it can basically be understood. Guys,

396
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,599
we all pretty much know that X y Z is

397
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,519
what happened, but until we get absolute confirmation from whomever,

398
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:35,640
will still not get tired of chewing it over repeatedly

399
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:41,759
and floating our theories or whatever. But the clues really

400
00:28:41,799 --> 00:28:45,640
did seem to be quite definitive in a way that

401
00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:51,400
had me like, this is solid detective work, but all

402
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,480
most two pointed, you know, And maybe it just looks

403
00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:58,200
like that to me because I'm coming at it. After all,

404
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,279
the clues have been collected already, and if it's like

405
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:04,920
you are part of the crew watching this over the

406
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,279
course of seasons. Every one of these clues was dropped

407
00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:16,160
over years, and so it doesn't feel like obvious at all.

408
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,279
And I really am trying to keep that part in mind,

409
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:24,440
because it is really in my nature, as somebody who

410
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,359
loves like murder mysteries and stuff, to when evidence is

411
00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:32,480
pointing too much in a certain direction to immediately be like, well,

412
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,960
then that's not what it is, because that's just storytelling.

413
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,279
Most of the time. Occasionally I'm wrong about it, and

414
00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:43,240
it's always kind of a delight. So I was like,

415
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,960
you know, there doesn't seem to be another option. The

416
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,359
only other thing I could think was maybe it's not

417
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,480
Capri and she did do the god that they didn't

418
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,559
expect because they're sponsoring it, but she would be smited,

419
00:29:58,519 --> 00:30:05,119
so that wouldn't be possible. So then I'm like, then

420
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,160
she has to know that they're piecing it together. And

421
00:30:09,279 --> 00:30:13,119
too much of this whole, all of too much of

422
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,440
the putting the pieces together was done in public in

423
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,799
a way that could be seen, which keeps being something

424
00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:23,839
that I'm a little paranoid about. Is like, you're not

425
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,480
supposed to be getting information from outside the dungeon, but

426
00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:33,279
evidently everybody is. So I can't help but feel if

427
00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:38,359
we're talking openly about what our plan is, its inevitable

428
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,599
they will find out. And I'm not really sure how

429
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,519
true that is. It just feels like it to me.

430
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,279
So anyway, I just I started to get a little sweaty,

431
00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:52,880
that's all I'm saying. I was just like something something

432
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:58,920
about this is just almost too easy, eh, I don't know.

433
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:07,319
So there's also the thing with the fairy. I'm going

434
00:31:07,359 --> 00:31:09,200
back just real quick because I want to mention this.

435
00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:13,119
When one worships of God, a link is formed, a

436
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,240
whisker thin connection made of light that can penetrate almost

437
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:22,200
any substance or spell. After a new adherent pledges themselves,

438
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,559
a tiny, non corporeal fairy mob called a bijou, grabs

439
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:28,839
a tendril of light from the God and drags it

440
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,240
to the new worshiper and attaches it to the adherent's heart.

441
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,640
This line isn't direct. It goes from the God to

442
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,440
the strongest temple on the floor, and from the temple

443
00:31:38,519 --> 00:31:41,960
to the worshiper. This whole process takes about two minutes

444
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:45,400
from the third floor until the eleventh, the strongest temple

445
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,839
will almost always be inside the inside of Club Vanquisher.

446
00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:55,640
When a person moves around, other tendrils also grow, connecting

447
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,319
the adherent to other temples and in some cases other worshipers.

448
00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:04,359
These connections, too, are facilitated by the Biju fairies. This

449
00:32:04,519 --> 00:32:08,200
strange little quirk of the game usually has no impact

450
00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:10,480
on anything, and Rosetta seems to think it's actually some

451
00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:14,480
sort of workaround the original designers developed to add the

452
00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:18,480
whole deity aspect to the game. Nobody has ever killed,

453
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,000
or caught or stopped the Biju, the Mordecai says. In theory,

454
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,759
it should be possible to catch one with a certain

455
00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:29,599
type of trap. Certain people with the proper skills can

456
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,640
see the Biju. We have an NPC named Edgar who

457
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:38,279
can catch their movement. This is he can see upward momentum.

458
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:40,839
This is a sign someone nearby has just worshiped a

459
00:32:40,839 --> 00:32:44,359
god for the first time. Edgar's skill is level fifteen

460
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,680
and called sense Movement. We are relying on using this

461
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,240
to see if Rosetta's theory about the Naga escape trick

462
00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:58,680
is correct. So I feel like that being connected by

463
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:04,680
the heart to multiple shrines and multiple other worshippers is

464
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,799
going to come into play in some other way as well.

465
00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:12,079
It's just a lot of setup in a very specific

466
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,799
way that we don't we don't really need to know

467
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,160
all of that unless that's something. You know what I'm saying.

468
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:28,559
I am very articulate. So chapter fifty, they have to

469
00:33:28,559 --> 00:33:33,519
get to the temple, but you know it says as

470
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:37,799
per tradition, the entrance to Club Vanquisher was located inside

471
00:33:37,839 --> 00:33:41,039
of a random temple here on the ninth floor. There

472
00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:45,640
were always only two Club Vanquisher entrance entrances. Why the

473
00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:50,599
one in Moroccos would almost always get trashed. The one

474
00:33:50,599 --> 00:33:54,119
outside the city limits was usually left alone, and this

475
00:33:54,319 --> 00:33:57,480
was where we were currently set up this particular season.

476
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,720
The entrance temple was for a relatively called the called

477
00:34:01,799 --> 00:34:06,000
Dogda or the Dogda. He was a weather and of

478
00:34:06,279 --> 00:34:09,360
masculinity god, and there was a whole class of fighter

479
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,760
clerics who worshiped him. I'd seen more than one crawler

480
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,840
who had him as a god. Apparently the only requirement

481
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,159
to follow him was to grow a beard. That docta

482
00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:22,239
was usually sponsored by some rich celebrity from the Inner System,

483
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:27,920
some sort of self help guru guy. Is it Andrew Tate?

484
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,719
It feels like it should be Andrew Tait. Am I wrong?

485
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:37,119
I just that's just a masculinity.

486
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 2: God.

487
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: It depends, I guess, on just exactly how intellectualized and

488
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:52,360
how rapy this guru is. If it's a lot more

489
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,079
pseudo intellectualism, it's going to be Jordan Peterson, as Michael

490
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:59,280
pointing out in the chat. If it's rapier, it's going

491
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:04,599
to be Andrew t Michael says, or Joe Rogan, which

492
00:35:04,679 --> 00:35:09,760
is definitely possible. I'll be honest, though, Joe Rogan feels

493
00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:14,360
like just your like run of the mill meathead and

494
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:20,000
not like a guru. I don't know about like his

495
00:35:20,159 --> 00:35:23,920
function though, so it may be that he does fill

496
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,760
that role more often than I realize. But I always

497
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,880
hear about him in the context of like he's platforming

498
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,480
people who don't fucking need to be given any platform

499
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,480
and entertaining asinine arguments because he is too fucking stupid

500
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,679
to see through the smoke and mirrors. So I think

501
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:48,800
of him as just this like unwitting pawn who isn't

502
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:55,079
uh really like giving instruction so that he can hold

503
00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:56,920
his hands up and be like what, I didn't do

504
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:02,679
anything because he hasn't explicitly endorsed and he wants to

505
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,039
be able to play both sides of things. Now again,

506
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,079
maybe that he does that and he's a guru. I

507
00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:13,000
don't know, but I just do imagine Jordan Peterson and

508
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,400
Andrew Tate first. So this may all come to nothing.

509
00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:18,840
Perhaps this person won't appear, but I I don't know,

510
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:23,880
I feel like they will. So they have to get

511
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,159
through the Temple of break into the club, and then

512
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,039
break into the Temple of Capri, which isn't going to

513
00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:36,440
be easy because, like you know, the whole security is

514
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:42,519
no joke in Vanquisher, especially the moment we broke inside,

515
00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:44,960
Vinyada and her crew would most likely know we were

516
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,880
coming for them. This was also why we had to

517
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,880
time this correctly. According to Rosetta, those under the Prospect

518
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,440
spell wouldn't be allowed to leave the temple for at

519
00:36:53,559 --> 00:36:56,920
least an hour. It was the dungeon equivalent of going

520
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,239
to a timeshare pitch, which is have you guys ever

521
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,480
been to one of those? I went to one of

522
00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:05,000
those ones to get free knife set I don't even

523
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:12,159
remember if I got it. Anyway, as they are approaching

524
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:20,000
Donut is not with them, by the way, we have

525
00:37:20,119 --> 00:37:25,280
her as a contingency. We have Carl and Prepotente talking

526
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,519
over the plan and Prepotentie drinking a bunch of sodas,

527
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,800
which will the fact that he first of all he's

528
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:39,199
limited to seven sodas. Oh my god, or else I

529
00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:40,800
get a sugar high. You don't get a sugar high

530
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:47,480
off of seven sodas for real, wild shit. And I

531
00:37:47,519 --> 00:37:50,800
love that there's this detail that Carl keeps trying to

532
00:37:51,079 --> 00:37:54,920
pull away, but Prepotente just is like right up against

533
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,280
him the whole time. He's just very needy. That was

534
00:37:59,559 --> 00:38:06,039
so funny to me, guys. I just love the contrast

535
00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:11,079
in the aloofness of his speech versus his body language

536
00:38:11,119 --> 00:38:16,159
and actions and like these emotional outbursts. It's just wonderful.

537
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:22,639
It's so great. Sorry I'm saying, Jeff says. Scamy sales

538
00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:24,519
meetings are the worst. I felt like we were stealing,

539
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:27,719
even though we were technically allowed to leave, right, Michael says,

540
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,400
And they somehow do make it seem like a clearly

541
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,000
idiotic financial decision makes sense when they talk long enough. Yeah,

542
00:38:33,039 --> 00:38:40,760
that's the thing. Oh, it really is true. And you

543
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,360
know Carl is worried about the succession thing because of

544
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,159
Doughnut being susceptible, but Pony is like, I just want

545
00:38:47,199 --> 00:38:49,719
them all dead. I don't care about that part. Just

546
00:38:50,039 --> 00:38:55,000
kill them all. And he says, I suppose it's a

547
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
good idea to have a backup plan, as there are

548
00:38:57,079 --> 00:38:59,159
indeed secret ways out of the club. I have a

549
00:38:59,199 --> 00:39:03,360
map of the entire place. You know I stopped dead.

550
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:09,039
You have an interior map of Club Vanquisher. Oh yes,

551
00:39:09,079 --> 00:39:11,119
my mother Bianca and I made friends with a delightful

552
00:39:11,159 --> 00:39:13,360
guild mester inside the club, which we saw that whole thing.

553
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,599
And Carl is just like and it says, I was

554
00:39:18,639 --> 00:39:21,960
once again reminded of donuts advice long ago that I

555
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,199
should have tried harder to speak with him. She had

556
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:29,199
been right, I've been saying, I've been saying, I just

557
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,400
didn't really understand why Carl wanted to get away from

558
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,880
him and Miriam so bad. I found them to be

559
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:41,760
delightful and very smart. You know, you're the ones who

560
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,760
keep fucking up attacks they've got set up and they

561
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,280
would have succeeded. These are people that you want as allies.

562
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,960
They are competent and sure they have a weird thing

563
00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:55,079
going on, but no offense, Carl, you don't think you

564
00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:57,039
and Donut have a weird thing going on. I got

565
00:39:57,079 --> 00:40:02,679
a fucking bridge to sell you, dude. Y'all are strange

566
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,280
and you just are used to it. That's the only difference.

567
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,599
So you don't have the right to throw any stones whatsoever.

568
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,760
And then Miriam being taken out of the picture. I

569
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,840
genuinely just had so much sympathy for Prepotente because it

570
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,119
made me think of what Donut would be like without Carl,

571
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:23,079
and it just kept surprising me that Carl wasn't like

572
00:40:23,559 --> 00:40:26,760
seeing things through that lens a little bit more, you know,

573
00:40:27,079 --> 00:40:30,199
and was just as resistant as he is. And it

574
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,239
just Carl can be a bit of a control freak.

575
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,400
That's kind of what it boils down to a lot

576
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:40,000
of the time with him, is that he just it's

577
00:40:40,119 --> 00:40:42,920
not exactly that I think he saw Prepotente as a

578
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,960
threat so much as the fact that Prepotente is obviously

579
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:53,239
not somebody who is low level enough that Carl can

580
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,800
really like force him into being a team player. He

581
00:40:58,039 --> 00:41:00,679
has enough power to have the agey to go off

582
00:41:00,679 --> 00:41:02,719
and do his own shit, and would like he has

583
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,000
that attitude as well, and I think Carl just doesn't

584
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,440
want to deal with that headache. But look at the

585
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,199
way this stude acts like he is so obviously in

586
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,119
need of friendship, and he would be a wonderful team

587
00:41:16,159 --> 00:41:19,000
player if you just knew how to handle him right.

588
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,480
And Carl just doesn't really seem interested in like learning

589
00:41:23,519 --> 00:41:27,519
how to do that, and I find that a weakness.

590
00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:31,360
I think that this is a resource that was squandered

591
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,159
for a long time, and uh, no offense to just

592
00:41:35,199 --> 00:41:37,480
call you a resource, Prepotente, But I think you would

593
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,679
agree with me. Actually, I don't think that you would

594
00:41:39,679 --> 00:41:44,519
have a problem with me saying it that way. Anyway,

595
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,920
they have to take this aura potion to keep themselves

596
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:54,679
from being susceptible to it. And Prepotente comments on how

597
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,880
good the quality is because he has found them before,

598
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,039
but they only lasted for two minutes, and when he

599
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:07,159
drinks it the regular way rather than like from the menu,

600
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:08,920
so that you can't taste it, and he says it's

601
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,480
similar to a crodino, and I had to look this up.

602
00:42:12,679 --> 00:42:17,320
Crodino is a non alcoholic bitter aperteef produced since nineteen

603
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:23,679
sixty five, produced by the Manu produced by Gruppo Campari.

604
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,360
It is an orange colored drink made from herbal extracts

605
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,880
and sugar. It is primarily consumed in Italy and other

606
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:37,519
European countries. So there you have it, and I kind

607
00:42:37,519 --> 00:42:41,000
of want to try it now. I also want to

608
00:42:41,039 --> 00:42:44,039
know how he knows what cordina tastes like. That's another question.

609
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:53,360
So here comes this moment where I was thinking, when

610
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,480
I was listening to the audiobook that the narrator is

611
00:42:56,519 --> 00:43:00,360
going to say a certain thing, that it is not

612
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:06,320
what the narrator winds up saying, but then later on

613
00:43:07,599 --> 00:43:11,400
it seems to me it should have been. So this

614
00:43:11,519 --> 00:43:17,400
is the aura mechanic. Wasn't something I normally needed to

615
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,400
worry about. We only had two crawlers in the guild

616
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,159
who used it. One was a money and you know

617
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,440
all of the different blessings in YadA. The other crawler

618
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,400
who used ours was Lee Nah. Hers were very very

619
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:35,679
and I thought it was going to say scary, terrifying, upsetting, disturbing.

620
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,880
Instead it just says different, and I was just like,

621
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:52,280
you know, so you guys, well we'll get there in

622
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,920
a second. I really want to jump ahead, but I'm

623
00:43:53,920 --> 00:44:01,159
not going to do it. So Doughnut chimes in. He says, Dona,

624
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,639
if you guys don't see anyone approaching the Naga temple,

625
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,159
might as well join Ellie and Amani. And she says

626
00:44:06,159 --> 00:44:09,639
be careful everyone, and he dms her specifically, and it's like,

627
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,320
you need to be careful. Don't go anywhere that hasn't

628
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,599
already been anywhere that hasn't been swept for traps and stuff.

629
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:22,880
And Donut is like, listen, you're the one breaking temples open,

630
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,079
so I think you should just worry about yourself, which

631
00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:30,840
she isn't wrong. Ooh sorry. Jeff says, I thought it

632
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,280
was because he was afraid of their murder goat. It wasn't.

633
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,639
It just wasn't as a self starter, I too have

634
00:44:37,639 --> 00:44:41,199
difficulty with friends who have severe emotional issues. Michael says,

635
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,000
I find a very sweet that pony still sticks to

636
00:44:43,039 --> 00:44:47,559
the rules his mom gave him about soda. Miriaan don

637
00:44:47,639 --> 00:44:49,960
was Italian. He probably managed to lick up some that

638
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,159
Miriam spilled at some point. That's probably true. That's probably

639
00:44:53,159 --> 00:44:57,360
exactly it, not only breaking temples open, but condemning the

640
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,639
inhabitants to a fate worse than death, which ye, we'll

641
00:45:00,679 --> 00:45:03,159
get there. Listen. I'm trying not to jump ahead, Michael.

642
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,679
I just said that. So they go into the temple

643
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:14,000
of Dogda, and I really love this. Stu's only for

644
00:45:14,119 --> 00:45:16,639
brothers of Dogna, so please move along, he said, with

645
00:45:16,679 --> 00:45:24,400
a thick, all most intelligible Welsh accent, which is so

646
00:45:24,519 --> 00:45:26,840
hilarious to me as a line. It's just such a

647
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:33,039
throwaway little joke. And I remember, like one of my

648
00:45:33,519 --> 00:45:38,039
mother's friends married an irishman and she had just been

649
00:45:38,159 --> 00:45:40,440
watching a movie set in Wales and was telling him

650
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,360
about how she had to put the subtitles on because

651
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,679
she couldn't understand, and he said something like, oh, yeah,

652
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,000
the Welsh wonderful singers, but they can't speak to save

653
00:45:49,039 --> 00:45:53,840
their lives. And that's always what I think of when

654
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,920
I hear like anybody is Welsh, I just think of,

655
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,119
can't speak to save their lives. And so that joke

656
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:06,599
just hit me exactly right. Entering Club Vanquisher members, only

657
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:11,480
heathens will find no solace here, and we have this

658
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:18,440
ram Guard mork Aries Warrior level forty worships hellic. He

659
00:46:18,559 --> 00:46:22,360
will be automatically hostile toward you because you worship Embrass

660
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:33,199
and the way they play. This is that Prepatente is

661
00:46:33,199 --> 00:46:39,159
is Carl's bounty that he captured, and Prepotente has to

662
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,960
pretend to be captured and is very over the top

663
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:50,519
with it. It's giving community theater Shakespeare play kind of thing.

664
00:46:51,079 --> 00:46:56,199
It's a lot and Mork says, you want to collect

665
00:46:56,199 --> 00:46:58,400
the bounty, you're on probation. I'm not even sure you

666
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,280
can collect the bounty. We'll have to tell them we

667
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,960
caught it together. And I'm like, is that true or

668
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,880
do you just want to steal from Carl. I feel

669
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:12,079
like it's the second one, but I don't know, and

670
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:17,159
he does the whole. We will give half to Hellic

671
00:47:17,199 --> 00:47:20,039
as he is the superior god to your filthy embress,

672
00:47:20,079 --> 00:47:22,360
and we will flit the rest ourselves. Because he's got

673
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,079
a lisp when he says he's a superior god to

674
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:27,719
your filthy embress. I was like, I'm surprised he can

675
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,880
say that without like getting in trouble. And then instantly

676
00:47:32,079 --> 00:47:35,360
new Quest killed the blasphemer and I was like, ah,

677
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:40,400
there it is okay. You will get an additional embress boon.

678
00:47:40,559 --> 00:47:45,119
The more entertained, the better the boon. And Carl just

679
00:47:45,159 --> 00:47:48,039
goes one step ahead of your buddy, and then he

680
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,880
tells Katya to come up on stage. It's her cue.

681
00:47:53,280 --> 00:48:02,760
And this, you guys, this whole scene. Four minotaurs burst

682
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,320
into the room. The guards look much the same as

683
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,400
the last time I'd seen these guys, furry furry shorts,

684
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:13,039
no shirts, no hats, but blue paint splattered all over

685
00:48:13,079 --> 00:48:20,079
the place. They have these like wolverine cloth things that

686
00:48:20,119 --> 00:48:22,440
they keep embedding in the ceiling and getting stuck because

687
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,079
they're very tall, and they just keep doing this, which

688
00:48:26,119 --> 00:48:31,880
is very, very hilarious. This is when Katchya bursts in

689
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,960
brothers hail, it is the end of days. Demons attack

690
00:48:37,039 --> 00:48:40,320
the temple behind me. We must initiate temple defense protocols

691
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,880
and I love. They get this blank look and they're

692
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,880
like what And this is language that she was told

693
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,639
to use by Tippid, but like shit changes, so she

694
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,679
has to adapt. But she does quite quickly kill all

695
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:57,119
the heathens hail. The other mantors shouted. Another got his

696
00:48:57,199 --> 00:49:02,960
arms stuck, this time in the wall, and one of them,

697
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,719
let's see, I'm trying to find from over both of

698
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,679
Kotsa's shoulders flew a pair of ridiculously cute stuffed animals

699
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:14,039
there were stuffed versions of a demon mob called Eclipse Pixies.

700
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,400
They looked like fat, fur covered guinea pigs, but with

701
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,000
bat wings and jagged teeth, which, like guinea pins, are

702
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:28,239
already covered with fur. Maybe it's considered hair, I don't know. Anyway,

703
00:49:28,599 --> 00:49:30,960
the real version we're about the same size, and we're

704
00:49:31,119 --> 00:49:37,960
just as cute, which is wild. So Prepotente smashes his

705
00:49:38,039 --> 00:49:46,519
smoke grenade Carl inflicts black nimbus and let's see the smoke.

706
00:49:47,119 --> 00:49:50,960
This blinded all of us. I burst forward. Prepotente jumped

707
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,760
to his feet and rushed with me. We reached the

708
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:57,119
open entrance into the club, smoke swelling inside. Mork lay

709
00:49:57,159 --> 00:49:59,880
there on the ground, crying with the black halo around

710
00:50:00,079 --> 00:50:02,239
his head, half in and half out of the main room.

711
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,480
It says I'm trespassing, he gasped. How how can I

712
00:50:06,519 --> 00:50:09,480
truspass my own home? What did you do to me?

713
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,360
And honestly, guys, this got to me. The fact that

714
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,880
he worships this god so bad and then feels completely

715
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:22,840
abandoned is genuinely super sad. It really bummed me out.

716
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,960
I was just not you know what I mean. I

717
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,440
didn't expect to be this like upset by this attack,

718
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:38,639
so Zang has the vestibule door open. Lena is ready,

719
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:44,920
Carl says, wait for my signal, and they go into

720
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,440
the club, and I held the door open. At this point,

721
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,280
all three doors were open from Shantytown to the Temple

722
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,000
of Dagda. Only the second two were actual portals. We

723
00:50:56,079 --> 00:51:00,519
needed to keep both open at all costs. As long

724
00:51:00,519 --> 00:51:03,400
as we kept an unbroken line of the capacitor wire,

725
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:07,119
which was really just an antenna from the clockwork tower

726
00:51:07,159 --> 00:51:11,320
to the interior of the club, the tower enhanced effects

727
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:17,039
of Lena's aura would work inside the club. Which is crazy.

728
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,000
This is a very this is so intricate, this is

729
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:25,320
just a really like to a degree, I'm not even

730
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,880
sure I really understand. I'll be perfectly real with you, guys.

731
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:34,360
So upon the walls remained the hundreds of taxidermied monster

732
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,079
heads of all sizes. The faint church music that usually

733
00:51:38,119 --> 00:51:41,239
played was now turned off, which added to the menacing effect.

734
00:51:42,039 --> 00:51:44,920
Lee June, trailing three separate lengths of wire, rushed up

735
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,400
to me. He quickly handed me the third length, which

736
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,840
was as thin and light as fishing line. I looped

737
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:55,679
it around my wrist and mork over here is trying

738
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,480
to get up. I kicked him down and put my

739
00:51:58,519 --> 00:52:00,639
foot on his chest. I should have killed already, but

740
00:52:00,679 --> 00:52:02,800
the note at the end of the embras quest had

741
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:07,159
given me pause, which, like he later yells at me, nah,

742
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,880
And I'm like, you didn't need to do what you

743
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,079
did either, though, Carl, So I don't know what to

744
00:52:11,119 --> 00:52:16,079
tell you. When we first discussed the next part, Lena

745
00:52:16,159 --> 00:52:18,719
stated she had several dreads that would be effective if

746
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,239
they were allowed to fill Club Vanquisher. We settled on

747
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:33,079
one called Dark Purpose, so she activates it, and apparently

748
00:52:33,119 --> 00:52:37,440
the way she had described dark Purpose is it's similar

749
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:41,519
to donuts, why are you hitting yourself, which, when he says,

750
00:52:42,639 --> 00:52:46,400
according to Lena, was basically the same thing. I was like, oh,

751
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:51,320
it's not, it's me. Nah. This is going to be horrific.

752
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,440
It's called a dread, it has the word dark in

753
00:52:55,519 --> 00:52:59,960
the name. This is about to be really fucking sickenings.

754
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,800
And it is wild to me that Carl doesn't understand

755
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:09,920
that yet. I mean, are you sure, dude, that you

756
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:18,320
didn't see this coming anyway? This is when they everybody

757
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:22,840
stops and seems to get confused and more whispers, he

758
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,239
doesn't see me anymore, and that line also got me, guys,

759
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,119
and he just yanks his own eyeballs out and then

760
00:53:32,159 --> 00:53:34,719
flips them around and sticks them back in the sockets.

761
00:53:36,159 --> 00:53:39,599
And this is what they everybody starts to like rip

762
00:53:39,679 --> 00:53:44,760
themselves apart. So in that she's like, it's like, stop

763
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:50,960
hitting yourself, okay, ma'am, Like she wants to level up,

764
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,639
and she knows Carl's not gonna use this if he

765
00:53:52,679 --> 00:53:55,360
knows just how bad it's gonna be, you know, So

766
00:53:55,400 --> 00:54:00,719
I get it, But also like, holy shit, And then

767
00:54:02,039 --> 00:54:07,639
fucking the heads on the walls start to scream and groan.

768
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,760
The rugs too, were all suddenly alive. And I love

769
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,119
the Prepotente had been like her dread doesn't seem to

770
00:54:17,159 --> 00:54:19,079
have done anything. And here he's like, I take it

771
00:54:19,159 --> 00:54:24,039
back my heart. I gave you my heart. Please please

772
00:54:24,079 --> 00:54:28,480
take it back. The blinded mork dug into his own chest.

773
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,360
He grasped, and with a sickening crack, ripped one of

774
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:38,079
his own ribs away. I'm so cold, he whispered. He

775
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:46,039
promised me I'd never be cold again. That is awful.

776
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,360
It's so and it's not even over yet. That's the

777
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:54,440
thing he dies, Carl gets quest complete. He has received

778
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:59,840
a celestial Boon level fifteen. He even scald received for

779
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,920
the the remainder of this floor. Any punch attack will

780
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,679
add the heathen skull kill damage, and we don't know

781
00:55:05,679 --> 00:55:08,599
what that even means, because Carl doesn't have time to

782
00:55:08,679 --> 00:55:17,239
check that out. But then Mark's ghost forms. That's when

783
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:22,000
the chains appeared. Ethereal white chains rose up all around

784
00:55:22,039 --> 00:55:27,199
the prone form of the dead. NPC. No, the ghost

785
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:32,239
of Morc cried, surprising me. No, please, I've already died.

786
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,440
Isn't that enough? His words changed to screams as the

787
00:55:36,559 --> 00:55:40,559
chains jumped like snakes, wrapped around him and pulled him

788
00:55:40,599 --> 00:55:43,599
into the floor of the club. A puff of smoke

789
00:55:43,599 --> 00:55:46,400
appeared where he'd been, and I felt a wave of

790
00:55:46,599 --> 00:55:53,119
ice cold air on my legs. Fascinating, Prepotente said, did

791
00:55:53,159 --> 00:55:55,519
you notice his lisp was gone when he turned into

792
00:55:55,519 --> 00:55:59,239
a ghost. I love you so much, Prepotentie. I'm so sorry,

793
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:04,480
but I just love you so much. I absolutely cannot

794
00:56:05,119 --> 00:56:07,559
So they're like dragged into the nothing. I'm assuming that's

795
00:56:07,559 --> 00:56:14,320
where they're going. I don't even know. So then there's

796
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:19,199
this alarm shelter in place. Demon activity detected within the club,

797
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:27,440
and these chains keep appearing, dragging people down, and Carl

798
00:56:27,599 --> 00:56:30,480
is likely not that spell wasn't what I expected, And

799
00:56:30,519 --> 00:56:33,400
she says did it work? He doesn't answer, did you

800
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:35,360
know this is gonna happen? What was that? Are they

801
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,679
trapped somewhere? I ask again, Carl, did it work? And

802
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,039
he still doesn't answer. What the hell level was that?

803
00:56:42,079 --> 00:56:45,400
I've never even heard of something like that? Dark Purpose

804
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,400
was level four when I cast it is not meant

805
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,159
to be used like this, and it leveled even more

806
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:53,639
rapidly than we anticipated. It hit level fifteen, and I

807
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,920
moved to a different dread. I am cycling my dreads

808
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,639
and rapidly leveling the mall right now, I am using

809
00:56:59,679 --> 00:57:05,639
Defile Soul. Next, I will train Bleeding Horror. She was

810
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,880
using this as an opportunity to power level. It sounded

811
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,960
like she'd known this would happen. In the distance, more

812
00:57:13,079 --> 00:57:17,159
screams filled the club. A translucent, on fire ghost of

813
00:57:17,199 --> 00:57:20,280
a faery blew into the room and was skewered by

814
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:24,159
a chain before it was dragged sobbing into the ground.

815
00:57:26,559 --> 00:57:30,679
I felt sick. I couldn't stop thinking of Mordecai's warning

816
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:37,239
not to do too much damage, and he asks, what

817
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:42,199
does this blood Dread do. I've never gotten it to

818
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,960
work before. But if someone with bloody hands gets near me, oh,

819
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,440
this is a different thing. If bloody hands gets near

820
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,119
me and I have the Dread active, it's supposed to

821
00:57:50,119 --> 00:57:52,559
turn their blood against them, and then the blood would

822
00:57:52,559 --> 00:57:59,679
turn on my enemies, which is wild. I need to train,

823
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,280
and I I can't give up this opportunity. When mantors

824
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,639
extend their claws, they bleed. That should be enough. When

825
00:58:04,639 --> 00:58:08,079
the Dread trains high enough. It's already level five and rising.

826
00:58:08,119 --> 00:58:10,199
You are marked as an ally. The blood won't hurt you.

827
00:58:10,239 --> 00:58:12,119
But if the new guards have an aura protection, this

828
00:58:12,159 --> 00:58:14,199
will be better because the blood already under my control

829
00:58:14,239 --> 00:58:18,239
will still attack them. I suggest you use the Berserker

830
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,639
plan after bleeding Horror. I have one more to train

831
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,559
if I have time. Her simple, matter of fact, almost

832
00:58:25,559 --> 00:58:31,800
emotionless delivery was chilling, chill washed over guys. It was

833
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:35,280
like she was a sociopath. She was always so calm.

834
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:41,079
How was it I'd never noticed this before? I don't know, Carl,

835
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,000
how is it that you never noticed this before? Like,

836
00:58:48,199 --> 00:58:51,519
it's not just the spells because she's not responsible for

837
00:58:51,559 --> 00:58:58,239
them exactly, but she chose a class that has the

838
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,719
kinds of spells that she has, and only a very

839
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:07,480
certain type of person is gonna do that. Everything about

840
00:59:07,519 --> 00:59:12,079
her abilities involves as much pain and torment on her

841
00:59:12,119 --> 00:59:16,280
opposition as you can imagine, and the more pain and torment,

842
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,519
the more it seems she levels up. So it was

843
00:59:19,719 --> 00:59:24,880
apparent to me instantly upon meeting her that this bitch

844
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,199
was not okay. I thought we all knew that. I

845
00:59:28,239 --> 00:59:30,239
thought we were all on the same page with this

846
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:38,639
Wena is terrifying, and not in a fun I am

847
00:59:38,719 --> 00:59:41,320
kind of in love with her terrifying sort of way.

848
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,360
She's terrifying in a I'm super glad she's on our side,

849
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,079
but there may come appointmhen she's not. And when she's not,

850
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,599
she won't hesitate because she doesn't hesitate. That's like not

851
00:59:50,719 --> 00:59:54,440
her thing. I really get the impression. I am a

852
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:58,440
team player for now until it doesn't serve me anymore,

853
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,639
and then I will have zero problem turning on you

854
01:00:00,719 --> 01:00:03,239
because I don't really see us as friends were co

855
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:08,519
workers at best, and that is terrifying. I am not

856
01:00:08,599 --> 01:00:11,800
even mad at her for that, to be clear, This

857
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,480
doesn't really affect whether I like her as a person

858
01:00:14,559 --> 01:00:20,199
or not. It's like I don't like her, but it's

859
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:26,920
more because of the fact that she can utilize spells

860
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,519
that cause suffering explicitly, and that is something that is

861
01:00:30,559 --> 01:00:36,880
important to me. All this scene is so upsetting, you know,

862
01:00:37,039 --> 01:00:39,880
the way that everything happens to Mark, who is you know,

863
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:44,840
he's kind of annoying, but Jesus, and this is the

864
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,679
way all of her spells seem to like work. You know,

865
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,440
she's you can't even touch her without getting this horrible reaction.

866
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:58,360
I just I just thought we knew this already. It's

867
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:03,360
weird to me that Karl wasn't picking up on it.

868
01:01:03,519 --> 01:01:05,559
Lena was always kind of scary to me, says Michael.

869
01:01:05,599 --> 01:01:08,280
She became scary in all caps to me after this.

870
01:01:08,639 --> 01:01:10,599
So the shit that was happening when it was level four,

871
01:01:10,639 --> 01:01:13,239
I don't want to know what the shit does at fifteen. Indeed,

872
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,920
Natasha is too into it, she can't stop. I can relate.

873
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:25,320
I'm too into what ooh what is it? William Jones

874
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,360
says she picked a class that can't be touched exactly.

875
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,960
Rob says, I reread this section earlier this week to

876
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,039
see what the coverage would be on I finished the

877
01:01:32,079 --> 01:01:39,119
book again. Elolo, I'm on fifty two. Wait am I?

878
01:01:43,679 --> 01:01:47,639
Oh I read too far. I was worried about not

879
01:01:47,639 --> 01:01:49,519
being able to finish, and I went too far? Are

880
01:01:49,599 --> 01:01:53,480
you guys? Oh my god? The irony. Well, I will

881
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,039
say I got to the end of this one chapter,

882
01:01:57,079 --> 01:02:04,440
so sorry about it. But yeah, this is the fact

883
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:08,400
that he didn't know. This, I just maintain is kind

884
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:15,360
of wild, and I feel like her being a sociopathic

885
01:02:15,519 --> 01:02:19,280
might be part of the reason. She isn't blaming Carl

886
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,960
as much for what happened to Lee June's eye because

887
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,480
there isn't emotion wrapped up in what happened to him.

888
01:02:26,519 --> 01:02:30,880
She understands in a very almost clinical, detached, like this

889
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:37,199
is just facts level, that it's not Carl's fault, and

890
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:41,159
she can really compartmentalize in a way that a lot

891
01:02:41,199 --> 01:02:43,960
of people can't really do. I can be really good

892
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,840
about compartmentalizing, but I still will have emotion leak out

893
01:02:48,159 --> 01:02:50,639
and it'll pop up in unexpected ways, and I'll be

894
01:02:50,719 --> 01:02:52,880
very annoyed by it because I'll be like I thought,

895
01:02:53,039 --> 01:02:56,119
we all agreed that XYZ was true, and my brain

896
01:02:56,159 --> 01:02:58,559
will be like yeah, we did. But like this feeling

897
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:04,039
has its own ideas, but when you're really not dealing

898
01:03:04,039 --> 01:03:08,960
in emotion, you can compartmentalize utterly. So I had been

899
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,400
sort of surprised that she wasn't blaming Carl, and now

900
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:14,239
I think I get why she might not be, you know,

901
01:03:17,119 --> 01:03:20,079
Michael says, Or she's cold enough to bide her time

902
01:03:20,159 --> 01:03:22,239
and wait for a chance to get revenge when it

903
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:26,840
is more convenient, or that behaving as if she's not upset.

904
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:31,519
Like again, it's hard because like the way I understand

905
01:03:31,519 --> 01:03:35,440
sociopathy is like there you do not have emotion, or

906
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,039
the emotions that you have are very different, and you

907
01:03:39,159 --> 01:03:42,719
feel separate from other people because you don't experience things

908
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:47,320
the same way. So I don't know well enough to know.

909
01:03:49,119 --> 01:03:53,599
It may be that she's very territorial and you fucked

910
01:03:53,639 --> 01:03:55,400
with one of her people, and now that's the thing,

911
01:03:55,480 --> 01:04:02,400
you know. I don't know. But anyway, I since I'm

912
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,719
not supposed to be covering this chapter, I'm going to

913
01:04:05,719 --> 01:04:08,719
stop here because I'm overtime. Anyway, I feel bad that

914
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,239
I overread, sorry about it because I wasn't supposed to

915
01:04:12,239 --> 01:04:15,480
find out until next time that the Naga had set

916
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:19,920
a trap evidently, and I already know, but I do

917
01:04:20,039 --> 01:04:21,679
kind of feel like it was a great ending point

918
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:26,960
for my little section that I read. So it's okay,

919
01:04:27,159 --> 01:04:32,920
we will get there. Lean Nah, I'm like very interested

920
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:34,880
to see what else you can do, but I'm also

921
01:04:36,679 --> 01:04:39,599
dreading it because it's always going to be something like this,

922
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,039
Like it's just the suffering that keeps being the way

923
01:04:43,119 --> 01:04:50,159
this functions, you know who. Anyway, thank you guys all

924
01:04:50,199 --> 01:04:52,440
for being here. It's very funny that I said at

925
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:54,400
the start, like and I might not finish, and you

926
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:56,920
guys know the drill. You didn't know the drill because

927
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,159
I didn't know the drill. Who knew? Sorry about.

928
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 2: Do you know? Motherfuckers?

929
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:34,719
Speaker 1: That was an unspoiled network
