00:00:00Hello, one and all, welcome back to another thrilling episode of Dimension 20, Dungeons

00:00:11and Drag Queens.

00:00:13I'm your humble Dungeon Master, Branly Mog, and with me, as always, are our questing queens.

00:00:17Say hi, questing queens.

00:00:18Hi, questing queens.

00:00:21Last we left off.

00:00:24It's beautiful.

00:00:29I shouldn't wonder that we're all exclaiming and making noise because we are in the depths

00:00:33of the Underworld right now.

00:00:36Last we left off, our four heroes, each for reasons of their own, some secret and some

00:00:40shared, had traveled down the Gallows Road after having met, before the adventure even

00:00:45began in the city of Darktide, where you all came together and realized that it was safer

00:00:49to travel to the Underworld together than separately.

00:00:52We went to the village of Greeley, where you began to see some strange conspirings.

00:00:58Villains were approaching the entrance of the Underworld as well.

00:01:01Rumors of a merfolk, possibly your cousin, Kena, of Everdeep.

00:01:05We had the smell of cedar on the breeze, a strange smell not smelled since the massacre

00:01:11of the Foehammer family so long ago.

00:01:15Rumors of a witch hunter that had driven Gertrude from her lakeside home and in a burst

00:01:23of mist after you defeated a disguised undead, the face of Zaria Hex, the blood queen and

00:01:29architect of the downfall of Titania and the fairy realms.

00:01:34Many eyes gazed on the entrance to the Underworld and many feet tramped their way to that fabled

00:01:42realm.

00:01:43You swiftly ascended the mountainside, got to Gargrim, the guardian of the gate to the

00:01:47Underworld and descended into the lands beyond.

00:01:52You journeyed to the River of Sorrow.

00:01:54We summoned a dead whale.

00:01:56We quickly dispatched a small army of the undead that sought to make their way to the

00:02:02lands of the living once more.

00:02:04We also remember that we could have just walked across the-

00:02:07We don't talk about that.

00:02:08I turned into a puddle.

00:02:10Turned into a puddle.

00:02:11I did.

00:02:12Very well.

00:02:13We also met your Uncle Kerwin.

00:02:14Yeah.

00:02:15The spirit of the long lost Duke Kerwin Foehammer of the Foehammer family.

00:02:19Kerwin suggested, because you were one soul short, as Troyenne must deliver a certain

00:02:24amount of souls, for what she believed was the cause of keeping Everdeep safe from dark

00:02:30forces at work within the deep sea.

00:02:32I had really thought.

00:02:33You really thought.

00:02:34And that is what you had been told by none other than your mother, the queen, Nira of

00:02:38Everdeep.

00:02:39Nira.

00:02:41You-

00:02:42No.

00:02:43Nira, I just met her.

00:02:48You journeyed to the long shadow, Bazaar, outside of the Archive of Forgotten Things.

00:02:52Oh, God.

00:02:53Not the Bazaar.

00:02:54The Bazaar to meet Nyarith, the jackal-headed demon.

00:02:57You got Bazaar, too.

00:03:01Successfully managed to steal a soul for a short time before some towering Jannari demon

00:03:05snatched it once again out of your hand.

00:03:09Easy come, easy go.

00:03:11You ended up showing up a little bit short on your quota to the Inn of the Empty Glass,

00:03:15where Demia, your old vampire friend, agreed to sell you sort of a temporary soul that

00:03:23can fool some of the servants of the Goddess of Death, but probably not the goddess herself.

00:03:28The princess kindly offered up some of her own blood.

00:03:32You got your soul.

00:03:33Gertrude made a wonderful tea that sort of revivified everybody.

00:03:37And you talked to Shalila, the sort of half-masked servant of Thanara, Goddess of Death in the

00:03:44Underworld.

00:03:45Shalila agreed to take the soul, but not before spilling the beans that it seemed that Nira

00:03:51of Everdeep wasn't protecting her people.

00:03:55She was selling souls to live forever.

00:03:58And some quick spellcasting from Gertrude saw that your father had been in that role

00:04:03before you and paid a heavy price to free the souls that he had brought to the Goddess

00:04:09of the Underworld.

00:04:11The four of you, your Uncle Kerwin, now face an endless waste, crimson storm clouds and

00:04:19red lightning, and far off distance, the Tower of Tombs, the realm and lair of the Goddess

00:04:25Thanara herself.

00:04:27Shalila and her entourage march out into the wasteland, and for your plan to work, you

00:04:33need to get there before they do, because that soul there is not a worthy one, that

00:04:38is the seventh soul in her amulet.

00:04:41What could await you in the Tower of Tombs?

00:04:44Miracles?

00:04:45The ability for things lost, family, and realms to come back once more?

00:04:52Answers about a long-lost father and secrets kept within a family?

00:04:57Or even answers concerning the gift of magic and immortality itself?

00:05:02All of this awaits as you delve finally to the very heart of the Underworld.

00:05:08We return.

00:05:09That was a big ol' recap, I just, you know.

00:05:10Yeah, no, it was amazing.

00:05:11Yeah, you nailed it.

00:05:12It was great.

00:05:13Previously on.

00:05:14Anyways, it's funny.

00:05:15So, all of you look out and see these sort of crimson storm clouds.

00:05:20You can see Shalila and her four guardians kind of moving towards a lonesome road that

00:05:26moves through the wasteland.

00:05:28The question I put before you now is, do you try to follow the same road Shalila is?

00:05:34Which is, of course, she's probably taking the fastest road to the Tower of Tombs, but

00:05:38she's not particularly in a hurry.

00:05:40So, the question remains, how will you want to try and beat her to the Tower?

00:05:46Well, we have lied to her.

00:05:48We've been lying a lot, my goodness.

00:05:49We did lie to her until we were going back upstairs, so she's probably not expecting

00:05:53us.

00:05:54She doesn't seem angry or anything.

00:05:56She seems pretty chill.

00:05:57She doesn't seem suspicious of anything, but maybe we should just be walking right behind

00:06:01her.

00:06:02Who is Shalila?

00:06:03She's the one that told us about my dad.

00:06:05You remember when we said four and he said a hundred?

00:06:07We're talking to her.

00:06:08Okay, okay.

00:06:09Well, okay, okay.

00:06:10Yeah, now I get it.

00:06:11She is expecting an invitation to board game night momentarily.

00:06:14At our palatial mansion, where we can seat 400 people.

00:06:18Yeah.

00:06:19Intimate.

00:06:20I'm excited.

00:06:22How do we get there faster than her?

00:06:23I mean, can we fly?

00:06:24It seems like she's not moving fast.

00:06:27We can go another route, just hoof it.

00:06:29Do we ever split up?

00:06:30Is that a thing?

00:06:31Is that dumb?

00:06:32I don't know.

00:06:33I don't think we should split up.

00:06:34This is not a scary movie.

00:06:35We're not doing that.

00:06:36Yeah, we're staying together, babes.

00:06:37I mean, you'd be the one that survived until the end, right?

00:06:41Yeah, which is why she's like, she's like, it's in you three's best interest to stay

00:06:46together.

00:06:47She's not wrong.

00:06:48Did you hear that?

00:06:49She's not wrong.

00:06:50Princess has been coming through Hercules and shit, okay, just breaking backs.

00:06:54And I think Twyla's escaped death all the time.

00:06:57And we are confused as to how.

00:06:59She probably can't die.

00:07:02You're immortal too?

00:07:03Probably.

00:07:04You don't know?

00:07:05She's assuming at this point.

00:07:06Twyla doesn't know a thing.

00:07:07She's definitely lucky.

00:07:08I'll say that.

00:07:09What if we beat up Shanita and we take-

00:07:14Who's Shanita?

00:07:15Oh, Shalila.

00:07:16That's her landlord.

00:07:17She's supposed to go settle a debt for her.

00:07:18She goes, what if we leave here and beat up Shanita, and then come back here and play

00:07:22What if we beat up Shalila and take her metal guys and use her, and use them?

00:07:31Okay, so you're-

00:07:32How do we do that?

00:07:33Or befriend her.

00:07:34Why do we want to fight Shalila?

00:07:35Shalila has been, she helped us.

00:07:37She told us stuff.

00:07:38I know.

00:07:39Shalila's not-

00:07:40But she told us stuff because she's kind of an idiot.

00:07:41I don't want to beat the shit out of Shanita.

00:07:42Don't you think?

00:07:43You're the one who brought it up.

00:07:44Do you think it slipped?

00:07:45I know.

00:07:46It's just, I'm floating ideas here.

00:07:47Okay.

00:07:48We're spitballing.

00:07:50I think we can, I'm an assassin.

00:07:52I'm very good at tracking people.

00:07:53Are you a lip sync assassin?

00:07:56I'm a lipstick assassin.

00:08:00I am really good at tracking people.

00:08:03I think we can just follow behind Shalila, because if we get there before her, what are

00:08:08we going to do?

00:08:09Wait for her.

00:08:10No, there's the other soul.

00:08:12What's the other soul?

00:08:13Another worthy soul.

00:08:14Because you know that Kena, you feel like Kena stole your kill, essentially, right?

00:08:18Yes.

00:08:19We lost that worthy soul we had was the one that got taken back from the guards, nevermind.

00:08:23Yeah, so you know that there's another soul in town that's worthy, but that demon has it.

00:08:27And your cousin Kena, you believe, stole the soul that you were supposed to get, as we

00:08:31know, famed producer, Monk Ronson.

00:08:33Yeah, absolutely.

00:08:34Part of me feels like, okay, this is crazy, but the Jackal guy, I mean, if this was a

00:08:39movie, he's such a great character.

00:08:40I would love to revisit him.

00:08:41I do, I would too.

00:08:42I kind of want to go back and like-

00:08:44So hey.

00:08:45Let's fight over the magic pie.

00:08:48Yeah, I kind of want to go back and be like, I know how this looks.

00:08:55I'm scared, but I like it.

00:08:58I mean, I'm not mad at going back to him.

00:09:00But you have to talk about it.

00:09:01So this time, I think the answer is this time we just got to be real.

00:09:04We got to just give this man what he wants.

00:09:06We cannot trick him again.

00:09:07We got to just give him what he wants.

00:09:09What if he asks if we're lying?

00:09:11Do I lie?

00:09:12Memories.

00:09:13Who's going to want souls?

00:09:14We'll say we lied.

00:09:15We'll say we lied.

00:09:16We found out some new stuff.

00:09:17She's an assassin.

00:09:18She's been doing this job.

00:09:19Also, are you going to-

00:09:20I'm going to sound like this the whole time.

00:09:21So we're going to be like, so we found a lot of stuff.

00:09:23We acted out of fear.

00:09:25We were afraid that her entire community, village, would be destroyed if we didn't get

00:09:29this one soul.

00:09:30Now we know it's not the truth.

00:09:31It's Monica City.

00:09:32We have over two million people.

00:09:33We're not in a village.

00:09:34It's in Metropolis.

00:09:35Tell me if this is crazy.

00:09:36I apologize.

00:09:37I mean, it's not Atlantis, but go ahead.

00:09:39Tell me if this is crazy.

00:09:40So one of my-

00:09:41It's kind of like the suburbs of Atlantis.

00:09:44So you know how one of my spells is to disguise, right?

00:09:47And it says, use magic to change your appearance.

00:09:49Is there a world where Twilight changes her appearance to look like the person, like Thanara,

00:09:55and to grab-

00:09:56Oh, no.

00:09:57Okay, we can't go so high.

00:09:58Yeah, why would Thanara be in town?

00:09:59They'd be like, what are you doing here?

00:10:00But Miss Thing is going to Thanara to give her the souls, right?

00:10:03My thing is, Shalila.

00:10:04Be Shalila.

00:10:05My thing is, what if we don't trick him?

00:10:07What if we just go in and we just give him something?

00:10:10Oh, I'm trying to trick Shalila.

00:10:12What if we-

00:10:13Because Shalila's bringing the souls back to Thanara.

00:10:15And I'm like, if she thinks that I'm Thanara, then she's like, here you go, Thanara.

00:10:18I'm like, thank you, sis.

00:10:19But what if she's like, why are you-

00:10:20Also, Thanara is massive, isn't she?

00:10:22She's huge.

00:10:23Like 18 feet tall.

00:10:24She's 18 feet tall.

00:10:25She can disguise.

00:10:26Go to Thanara dressed as Shanita.

00:10:27Maybe I can change myself into an airplane if I want to.

00:10:29That is true.

00:10:30I'm Twilight.

00:10:31No, but we don't have anything to give to Thanara.

00:10:32So I think, to your point, you describe yourself as Thanara.

00:10:35Right.

00:10:36And then she gives it to me.

00:10:37And she gives it to you.

00:10:38But what do we get from Shalila?

00:10:39Shalila doesn't have the worthy soul either.

00:10:41She does.

00:10:42No, we don't need that.

00:10:43Because Shalila doesn't have the worthy soul.

00:10:44Shalila has a bag full of souls and one unworthy.

00:10:46Time out.

00:10:47If we know-

00:10:48Why do I care to give her the worthy souls now?

00:10:50Because knowing what this is about now.

00:10:52Knowing what this is about now, you may well have decided that you don't want to hand those souls over.

00:10:57But the question is, given all the stuff that you do want from Thanara,

00:11:02you don't know how reasonable this goddess is.

00:11:04So I think there are questions for you about what your reception-

00:11:08It's very like, what's the wizard gonna think when we get to the Emerald City, right?

00:11:12What's Thanara gonna think of us when we actually get to the Tower of Tombs?

00:11:15So, it's true that you no longer care to uphold the deal your mother struck.

00:11:20But you do know that the goddess of the underworld is expecting seven souls.

00:11:24You could reasonably decide, I'm not interested in pursuing that deal.

00:11:27Or you could reasonably decide it might be worth it anyway.

00:11:29It also seems to know that if she doesn't get the seven souls, she probably won't be cool about it.

00:11:32And also, I think that I have never met Thanara.

00:11:34So I think what we're trying to do is-

00:11:35Okay, okay.

00:11:36Let's go.

00:11:37Disguise Thanara.

00:11:38Shalila gives it to us.

00:11:39And then you-

00:11:40I know what she looks like.

00:11:41I can describe her.

00:11:42Because I saw her in the memory, so I can describe her.

00:11:43Okay, yeah.

00:11:44Describe it.

00:11:45And then Shalila-

00:11:46So that way, we all have a chance to talk to Thanara.

00:11:48Be like, here are the things you want.

00:11:49We're all here.

00:11:50Can you answer our four wishes, basically?

00:11:52Well, okay.

00:11:53So I want to reassess what we're all doing here.

00:11:57Because I have not been completely honest with all of you about why I'm in the underworld.

00:12:03Is this out loud, or is this through the brain?

00:12:05I'm talking to you all out loud.

00:12:06Okay, great.

00:12:07You're all in a safe place.

00:12:08You're towards the edge of hollow grave in a safe place.

00:12:11You know, there is a curse on me where I can't die.

00:12:16But it's not fear.

00:12:17It's not immortality.

00:12:18It's not like, girl-

00:12:19It's not invincibility.

00:12:21It's just immortality.

00:12:22So it's kind of a curse, right?

00:12:24So when I came down here, I was hoping to just come down here and not leave, have my soul taken.

00:12:28Now I want to live my life.

00:12:30I've just got a new perspective.

00:12:31So I want to live my life.

00:12:33And I want to have a natural death.

00:12:35A natural death like everyone else is granted.

00:12:37But it doesn't have to be here and now anymore.

00:12:40So my perspective has changed as to why I'm down here.

00:12:43So I do want to go down to Tanara.

00:12:46I do not know if this woman is reasonable at all.

00:12:49But I do want to go and just kind of plead my case.

00:12:52She seems to be able to bargain.

00:12:54I watched her bargain.

00:12:55Like, she offered your father a chance to give his soul.

00:12:59She didn't take it.

00:13:00He gave it.

00:13:01Yeah.

00:13:02So she's not beyond reason.

00:13:04You know what I mean?

00:13:05I don't know if you're going to atone in the way that your father atoned.

00:13:08Because you've been doing this for a while.

00:13:10So I don't know.

00:13:11How do you feel about your journey here now?

00:13:13You know, I think that Tanara has – there is a lot of – I think she can grant me grace

00:13:18knowing why I have been doing this.

00:13:20And like you said, she seems reasonable.

00:13:22And I think talking to her and meeting her face-to-face, she will be able to remedy a lot of what's going on.

00:13:27She acts quick.

00:13:28Like, once your dad was like, I'll give my soul, she didn't even hear his next words.

00:13:32Boom.

00:13:33Eat it.

00:13:34Done.

00:13:35He just obliterated.

00:13:36It was kind of bananas.

00:13:37And Tanara probably, with all her soul power, she has the power to restore both of your family.

00:13:40She does.

00:13:41She does.

00:13:42And I think that's why Twyla's going down there.

00:13:43Because the only being that could restore the dead to life is her.

00:13:49But before you bring the dead back to life, I just want to say, life is a gift.

00:13:53But it's not everything.

00:13:55You know what I mean?

00:13:56So like, if you restore them back, to what end?

00:13:58Like, do they have unfinished business?

00:14:00Maybe they're at peace.

00:14:02Maybe there's some shop that need people to work in.

00:14:04They were taken away before their time.

00:14:07Yeah.

00:14:08And is there any chance that you're bringing them back without a consult?

00:14:11I mean, we should ask your uncle.

00:14:13Does he want to be part of that?

00:14:14We'll do a show of hands from the soul.

00:14:16Or a show of bones.

00:14:17Yeah, Kerwin looks and says,

00:14:19Well, if you remember when you met me, I was desperately trying to swim across the River of Sorrow.

00:14:24Yeah, it seems pretty common.

00:14:25They all want to swim out.

00:14:26Yeah, it's pretty common.

00:14:27Touche.

00:14:29You see, Kerwin also says,

00:14:31Listen, is there some world where there would be rest or peace after life?

00:14:36I would more than happily consider it.

00:14:38I don't know if you've taken a look around.

00:14:40You see, look at this howling purple wasteland.

00:14:42Right.

00:14:43It's like, I would describe the conditions of the afterlife as suboptimal.

00:14:48Yeah, it's no Everdeep.

00:14:50It's apparently the New York City of the ocean.

00:14:52Yes, it is.

00:14:54Greatest city in the underworld.

00:14:56Okay, so are we all on one accord?

00:15:03Squyla, can you describe to Squyla the Chicken Transformer?

00:15:06Or do we want to go see Thanos?

00:15:08Nyroth.

00:15:09Nyroth.

00:15:10Okay, oddly enough, Nyroth scares me a little more than Thanar.

00:15:13Who is that?

00:15:14The Jekyll-headed guy.

00:15:15Jekyll face.

00:15:16Yes.

00:15:17I'm so sorry.

00:15:19Listen, I know there are people watching right now.

00:15:22And they're like, What are these names?

00:15:24And Jujubee's there.

00:15:25Well, the audience has the benefit.

00:15:26They're going to see big art come up on screen every time.

00:15:29So we don't have the benefit of that.

00:15:31Okay.

00:15:32So how do we get there?

00:15:34Is the question.

00:15:35Should we just trail behind?

00:15:36Yeah.

00:15:37When I say we can, we can like.

00:15:38Trail behind.

00:15:39Conceal ourselves with a spell and trail behind her.

00:15:42We don't have to trail behind because we're going to walk right up to her.

00:15:44We're walking right up to her and saying, Hey, it's me, Thanar.

00:15:46I was going out for.

00:15:48We need to cut her off, though.

00:15:49I was stepping out.

00:15:50We need to cut her off so she thinks.

00:15:51We need to get to the castle before her.

00:15:53Do we have a reason why we're not on the throne?

00:15:56Yeah, that's a little fishy.

00:15:58You're like, What is she doing here?

00:16:00If Joe Biden knocked on your door, wouldn't you be like.

00:16:04If it was Joe Biden, no.

00:16:06I'd be like, wrong door, honey.

00:16:08What are you doing here?

00:16:09I kind of expected you in the Oval Office.

00:16:11Not.

00:16:12I was just delivering some classified documents.

00:16:14It seems.

00:16:15It seems.

00:16:16Y'all don't really think Thanar would leave the throne just to go for a walk.

00:16:19I don't know her.

00:16:20No.

00:16:21Maybe she's been locked up for seven days.

00:16:23She's getting over a cold and she's get 30 minutes a day to walk around.

00:16:27There's a small chance we could ask the.

00:16:29Okay.

00:16:30We could ask the Jekyll head guy for help.

00:16:34He's very powerful.

00:16:35What's his name?

00:16:36Nyreth.

00:16:37Nyreth.

00:16:38I don't know if Nyreth travels well.

00:16:40He's old.

00:16:41Why would he bring him with us?

00:16:43Because he's powerful.

00:16:44And he probably.

00:16:45No.

00:16:46He seems to bargain.

00:16:47He's very good at bargaining.

00:16:48I might say no.

00:16:50He has a business to run.

00:16:52So y'all want to go to.

00:16:53Or maybe we could ask him if he can give us something.

00:16:55I think we're all going to die.

00:16:56Maybe he has something that can help us.

00:16:58We're going to appeal to his sensibilities.

00:16:59And we're going to apologize.

00:17:00We're going to atone.

00:17:01Our options are pretend to be Thanara or go back to Nyreth.

00:17:06Which one seems.

00:17:07They're both very.

00:17:08I think.

00:17:09They're crazy.

00:17:10They're both.

00:17:11They're both very dangerous.

00:17:12We could definitely take Shalila.

00:17:13I don't know that we can convince her.

00:17:14I don't know if we can.

00:17:15I don't know that we can convince her that like, oh, yeah, I'm just out for a walk.

00:17:19Yeah, that does seem a little hard to do.

00:17:21Well, Twyla could start a rumor.

00:17:23About what?

00:17:24About.

00:17:25I don't know.

00:17:26Get people to fight.

00:17:27Then we can go take some souls.

00:17:28Well, souls.

00:17:29There are only souls up there, though.

00:17:30Oh, we're still downstairs.

00:17:31Unless you're going.

00:17:32You see Kerwin looks and says.

00:17:33It's true that all of the plans you're talking about seem very dangerous and reckless.

00:17:38But it's possible that down here there are no plans that won't involve some level of risk.

00:17:43Yeah, we got to.

00:17:44We got to risk.

00:17:45Okay.

00:17:46I think this is.

00:17:47Let's have a vote.

00:17:48My thought is this.

00:17:49We've dabbled in a lot of dishonesty.

00:17:51And it might be time to get honest and go talk to this jackal headed guy.

00:17:58Okay.

00:17:59And then run to.

00:18:00We're wasting time.

00:18:01He's all the way on the other side.

00:18:02We are.

00:18:03We are losing.

00:18:04We are losing time.

00:18:05Again, Shalila is not in a rush.

00:18:06She's leisurely pacing.

00:18:07If you look over, you can see that the bazaar is not far from here.

00:18:10If you want.

00:18:11If the goal.

00:18:12If the goal is to be honest.

00:18:13Then.

00:18:14All right.

00:18:15I vote.

00:18:16Yes.

00:18:17Jackal face.

00:18:18I'm going to vote against myself.

00:18:19I vote bazaar too.

00:18:20Okay.

00:18:21All right.

00:18:22We're going to go talk to.

00:18:23I think that's a good idea.

00:18:24Okay.

00:18:25Incredible.

00:18:26So you go to the long shadow of bazaar.

00:18:27You see there it is.

00:18:28The small shop with the golden embossment on the glass window pane of the door, Nyarith's

00:18:32Curios.

00:18:33And you.

00:18:34Do you all walk in?

00:18:35She goes first.

00:18:36Well, I.

00:18:37Okay.

00:18:38So I slowly open the door.

00:18:39So you see.

00:18:40Hey.

00:18:41Sitting on a.

00:18:42On a tall stool.

00:18:43Looking at.

00:18:44On a tall stool with one of those big like crane arm magnifying glasses.

00:18:48Looking at like a tiny little clock that he's fixing.

00:18:49This jackal headed dude looks up.

00:18:52Welcome to Nyarith.

00:18:53Unreal.

00:18:54Okay.

00:18:55And Gertrude goes.

00:18:56Before you do.

00:18:57Don't.

00:18:58Before you do anything.

00:18:59I'm going to level with you.

00:19:00This time I am being fully honest.

00:19:02And she decides to.

00:19:03Can I.

00:19:04Can I.

00:19:05Can I.

00:19:06Can I let him hear my.

00:19:07Thoughts.

00:19:08Can I be.

00:19:09Do honesty on myself.

00:19:10Can you.

00:19:11Do you want to like cast detect thoughts to broadcast your thoughts to him?

00:19:13Yes.

00:19:14So he knows I'm not lying.

00:19:15Incredible.

00:19:16So he knows I'm not lying.

00:19:17So I.

00:19:18I.

00:19:19I.

00:19:20I cast detect on myself.

00:19:21And give it.

00:19:22So he can hear what I'm thinking.

00:19:23Come on.

00:19:24So he knows I'm not lying.

00:19:25And I go.

00:19:26Now listen.

00:19:27You know.

00:19:28I got.

00:19:29This is a.

00:19:30All my cards are on the table.

00:19:31So can.

00:19:32Can I just let my friends come in here?

00:19:33Okay.

00:19:34So this is incredible.

00:19:35I'm going to say.

00:19:36With this degree.

00:19:37Of.

00:19:38Openness.

00:19:39I'm going to allow you to roll a persuasion check.

00:19:40And you can roll it with advantage because there is no way for him to not know that you're

00:19:43being honest.

00:19:44Yeah.

00:19:46So I'm going to say.

00:19:47Again with advantage.

00:19:48I'll say.

00:19:49If you were able to get a 15.

00:19:50He will hear you.

00:19:51Out.

00:19:52If you were able to get a 25.

00:19:54That will be like.

00:19:55He's blown away.

00:19:56My persuasion is an 8.

00:19:57So let's go.

00:19:58An 8.

00:19:59That's a 13.

00:20:0013 plus 8 is 21.

00:20:0121.

00:20:02Okay.

00:20:03Roll again.

00:20:04If you hit a 17 or higher.

00:20:05It's.

00:20:06So.

00:20:07That's an.

00:20:08That's already a success.

00:20:09Let's see what your second roll is.

00:20:1020.

00:20:1120.

00:20:12Oh my god.

00:20:13Yes baby.

00:20:14Yes.

00:20:15I got a 20.

00:20:16First.

00:20:17That's 20.

00:20:18What a roll to do it on.

00:20:19Okay.

00:20:20This is going to be good for us.

00:20:21This is going to be good.

00:20:22So you.

00:20:23Oh my god.

00:20:24So this unbelievable bit of magic.

00:20:27This is also.

00:20:28I feel like for Gertrude who spent her entire life as a hermit.

00:20:31Concealed.

00:20:32Hidden away.

00:20:33Not trusting the world.

00:20:34You completely open your mind.

00:20:37Vulnerable.

00:20:38Vulnerable.

00:20:39Oh Gertie.

00:20:40I'm getting vulnerable.

00:20:41I'm getting vulnerable.

00:20:42To a demon.

00:20:43You see.

00:20:44You see.

00:20:45So folks.

00:20:46All of you that are in the doorway as well.

00:20:47Look up and just see a man who.

00:20:48Let's be clear.

00:20:49You robbed.

00:20:50Three hours ago.

00:20:51Look up and go.

00:20:52I go.

00:20:53And I go.

00:20:54Okay.

00:20:55Listen.

00:20:56I know.

00:20:57I know how this looks.

00:20:58But I'm going to cast this spell.

00:20:59On myself.

00:21:00So that you know that I'm telling the truth.

00:21:01You can hear my thoughts.

00:21:02Can I let my friends come in.

00:21:03So we can atone.

00:21:04By all means.

00:21:05See them into it.

00:21:06I.

00:21:07I.

00:21:08I.

00:26:52I.

00:26:53I.

00:26:54I.

00:26:55I.

00:26:56I.

00:26:57I.

00:26:58I.

00:26:59I.

00:27:00you have of deep magical significance,

00:27:04knowing already how deeply you value your memories.

00:27:08Play cards.

00:27:09Again, I gotta be clear,

00:27:10not gonna give anything magic for a deck of cards.

00:27:12That's, I'd hold myself to something of a higher standard.

00:27:17That's right.

00:27:18They're rare cards.

00:27:20The important thing is this,

00:27:21there is something you possess,

00:27:24and it is something that I think

00:27:25you deeply want to be rid of,

00:27:28but it is quite valuable to me.

00:27:33You have a curse on you.

00:27:35Oh my gosh, I do.

00:27:39So you go through a drawer,

00:27:40and you see he takes an empty vial

00:27:43of a deep green bottle glass

00:27:46that you see has a sigil on the bottom of it.

00:27:48There's like a rune inscribed.

00:27:50No, that curse was not put on you by me,

00:27:53and I do not have the strength to remove it.

00:27:58But if removed,

00:28:00should you carry this bottle on your person,

00:28:04if that curse were to be lifted,

00:28:07the bottle would suck it up

00:28:10and return once more to me.

00:28:14The carpet is yours if you agree to carry this bottle.

00:28:18And we can keep the carpet?

00:28:19The carpet is yours forever.

00:28:21Out of good faith,

00:28:22he's gonna trust that you're gonna do this.

00:28:24I'm just, I don't even want this thing.

00:28:25You see, he looks and says,

00:28:28you have shown incredible courage

00:28:31in revealing your inner heart to me.

00:28:34Most would not do such a thing to a demon.

00:28:36And though I am not the most benevolent actor,

00:28:40I am an honest businessman.

00:28:43So the carpet is yours

00:28:45if you simply agree to carry the bottle on your person,

00:28:49always.

00:28:50If you never manage to have your curse lifted,

00:28:53then you have the minor inconvenience

00:28:55of needing to always travel with a small green bottle.

00:28:58But if the curse is lifted,

00:29:00it enters the vial there and returns to me,

00:29:04and the curse becomes mine to do with as I wish.

00:29:07Oh.

00:29:08So Gertrude kinda like looks around.

00:29:11Everyone's looking at Gertrude,

00:29:12every, even the carpet.

00:29:13The carpet's like-

00:29:14The carpet's got a big eye on it.

00:29:15You see the eye, blinks.

00:29:16I was like, are you all right?

00:29:17So Gertrude slowly takes off her backpack

00:29:20and she lifts it open

00:29:21and she just holds it out to the demon

00:29:23to place the vial in and goes,

00:29:25my word is my bond.

00:29:27Pleasure doing business.

00:29:29And pops the vial in,

00:29:31and you see the carpet slinks towards the door

00:29:35and awaits outside.

00:29:38Work!

00:29:38Magic carpet ride!

00:29:40Right!

00:29:41You're amazing, thank you so much.

00:29:43We gotta run.

00:29:44Pleasure doing business.

00:29:45Always feel welcome at Nyarlath's Curios.

00:29:47Please don't rob me again.

00:29:49I promise, we go out.

00:29:51And we're outside, we're like, we're freaking out.

00:29:53This is amazing.

00:29:54That really worked out for us.

00:29:55Honestly, we gotta be honest.

00:29:57Yeah, we should have been honest in the beginning.

00:29:59We should have.

00:30:00But was it, but-

00:30:02But what?

00:30:02Do we trust the demon?

00:30:04Well, listen, I don't know what he's gonna do with this.

00:30:06He might take the curse and just put it right back on me

00:30:08and be like, ha ha ha.

00:30:09And we know that it's just your curse.

00:30:10It's like nothing else that goes in there.

00:30:12Which is your curse of immortality, right?

00:30:14Yes.

00:30:14And you don't want it anyway, so-

00:30:15You should just open the bottle and,

00:30:17oh no, it has to go to someone.

00:30:18I can't remove it myself, so we know who can.

00:30:20Who's gonna do that?

00:30:21Da'Nara.

00:30:22How do we?

00:30:23All we know is we're gonna try to get her to lift it.

00:30:25She'll think she's doing something fierce.

00:30:27Maybe we don't know what she's planning.

00:30:28Once she lifts it, it's gonna just zap back to the bazaar.

00:30:30And what he does with it is his business.

00:30:32She might be mad.

00:30:34So I think now that we have the magic carpet,

00:30:35we know we can beat Shalila there.

00:30:38I think we should give him the carpet

00:30:39and, okay, what's that plan?

00:30:41Are we gonna, we need to get the other souls

00:30:42from Shalila, though.

00:30:43Yeah, are we going to Da'Nara or Shalila?

00:30:45You're not delivering souls anymore.

00:30:47You were here to figure out what's going on.

00:30:49But why would we?

00:30:50We just got the extra souls.

00:30:52Well, we might need to bargain with her.

00:30:54We need to bring the souls

00:30:55because we need Da'Nara to help us.

00:30:57Yeah, so now we need to get to Shalila

00:31:00and fight her and these four guards

00:31:01and get that bag of souls.

00:31:02So it's five of them, four of us.

00:31:04We are rested.

00:31:05Yeah.

00:31:06Oh, you gotta look at me like that.

00:31:07Okay, we are all rested.

00:31:09Well rested.

00:31:11In hindsight, we should have asked the nine of us

00:31:13to give us some type of advantage.

00:31:14I think the advantage was Spi.

00:31:16I think he gave us what he had gained.

00:31:18So, and Kermit looks over and says,

00:31:21I forgot you're here, Kerwin.

00:31:22Sorry.

00:31:23I tried to let you all do your thing, you know.

00:31:26I don't wanna.

00:31:27Girl's night, right?

00:31:28Yeah, I'm along for the ride.

00:31:29I'm just honestly happy to be here.

00:31:30You see, he goes, depending on what you wish to do,

00:31:33we could either beat Shalila to the Tower of Tombs

00:31:36or intercept her on the road there.

00:31:38And if you wanted to try to swap the soul out,

00:31:41the worthy one you have, you could do that as well.

00:31:43It's up to you.

00:31:44I mean, you have the advantage either way.

00:31:45I think we-

00:31:46Oh, you like Shalila?

00:31:47Ooh, I gave you the wrong one.

00:31:47Ooh, can I get that bag again?

00:31:49I put my car keys in there.

00:31:52Okay, the honesty thing is that Shalila's not gonna

00:31:55give this bag of souls up, because that is her job.

00:31:56When he said, we're gonna have to fight Shalila.

00:31:58So what do we have?

00:31:59What do we have to fight?

00:32:00I have a fireball, I have a counter spell,

00:32:03I have a scorching ray, I have the thunder wave

00:32:05that can hit a lot of people at once.

00:32:07If we fight Shalila though, and we have to get physical

00:32:11when we get to Fennar for whatever reason,

00:32:13we will be not rested.

00:32:15We will not be well.

00:32:16We gotta sneak attack.

00:32:18What if we fight them?

00:32:18We will be tied, we have no place to rest.

00:32:21What if we befriend her and say, you know, join us?

00:32:26Is she friendly like that?

00:32:28You know her better than we do.

00:32:29It would be you to communicate with her, really.

00:32:31She was pretty nice with us before.

00:32:32She was not mean.

00:32:34So are we gonna reveal to her that we've,

00:32:36okay, too much honesty.

00:32:37Kerwin says, I know you're gonna hate me for saying this,

00:32:40but I am gonna say it.

00:32:41You could, there is a way you could butter her up,

00:32:43and you just really have to invite her

00:32:45to that board game night.

00:32:46Yeah!

00:32:48To the board game night.

00:32:49I tell you, we may have overestimated.

00:32:50Maybe not 400, but we can do at least one.

00:32:52We switch to Scrabble.

00:32:53No, we can just tell her that we already had 395.

00:32:56Well, she's gonna get there.

00:32:57If we switch to Scrabble.

00:32:59Yeah, we change of plans.

00:33:00Yeah, I don't think she's really set on the game.

00:33:02I think she just wants the companionship.

00:33:03Be included.

00:33:04Okay.

00:33:05I think she wants the camaraderie.

00:33:06What if she's like, well, I don't know how to spell.

00:33:08I never went to school.

00:33:09We have a lot of games.

00:33:10Okay, great.

00:33:11Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:33:12You know what?

00:33:13Uno, uno is good.

00:33:14Uno is really good.

00:33:15And you have your playing cards.

00:33:16And you have playing cards.

00:33:18Oh my God!

00:33:19Well, didn't I give one up?

00:33:20No, you didn't give anything up.

00:33:21Oh, thank you, Lord.

00:33:22We tried to rob him and almost died.

00:33:24Yeah.

00:33:25Okay, so let's get on the carpet.

00:33:26Let's get to Shalila.

00:33:27So we're gonna be friendly to her?

00:33:28We're not gonna like, we're not gonna like hit her?

00:33:30We can't afford to fight her.

00:33:30Why don't we stop by and be like, girl, you need a ride?

00:33:33Now, if she gets pissed off and attacks us,

00:33:35then we have to fight.

00:33:36If I say, let's not try to go at her.

00:33:37But then she'll get the first hit.

00:33:38We don't wanna sneak attack.

00:33:41She has four armor suits.

00:33:44Yeah, they're strong.

00:33:46She's not a bad person.

00:33:47I think the smartest thing is for Troyanne

00:33:49to start a conversation with her

00:33:50because there's a relationship.

00:33:51There's already a developed thing.

00:33:52Open and honest communication.

00:33:53I think so.

00:33:54And I just wanna quickly make sure

00:33:55I've taken off my detect spell

00:33:57so that no one around me has it.

00:33:58Yes, you're all good.

00:33:59Also, I'm gonna go back to 49

00:34:00because I am rested and healed.

00:34:01Yes, rested and healed.

00:34:02Everyone's back at their normal hit points.

00:34:04It's revealed that you're thinking, these dumb bitches.

00:34:06So, the four of you and your companion, Kerwin,

00:34:11alight onto this flying carpet.

00:34:14And.

00:34:15Vala begins singing a whole new world.

00:34:16But hole is spelled H-O-L-E.

00:34:18A whole new world.

00:34:21The carpet alights over Hollowgrave

00:34:24and you see the twisting sands

00:34:27and barren rocks of the underworld

00:34:28begin to race underneath you

00:34:30as ridges and mountains and different cliffs

00:34:33begin to peel away.

00:34:35It's almost the ground racing behind you

00:34:37as fast as possible.

00:34:39The wind whipping at your hair.

00:34:40You see red clouds and crimson lightning in the distance

00:34:45and the thrill of sudden flight.

00:34:47The strange feeling of the wind pushing you

00:34:49and yet, everywhere that your limbs,

00:34:51your feet, your hands touch the carpet,

00:34:53you feel soft fabric and feel completely safe

00:34:57and anchored to it,

00:34:57even as the wind races past you.

00:35:01As you travel, you see the road winding away.

00:35:04You've taken some amount of time to go to the bazaar,

00:35:06make this deal, and before long,

00:35:09it's basically, I mean, minutes

00:35:11before suddenly you see, ahead in the distance,

00:35:13Shalila and her entourage.

00:35:15So, what has taken her hours of travel,

00:35:17you in minutes have caught up on this flying carpet

00:35:20and do you descend and approach?

00:35:22I think it's on you.

00:35:23This is your friend, Troyanne.

00:35:25Okay, so the carpet goes up.

00:35:27Oh, it's good!

00:35:28Oh, we're in front of her?

00:35:29Or are we good?

00:35:30We just cut them off?

00:35:31Also, she sees we got a carpet?

00:35:32Yeah, okay.

00:35:33I mean, the carpet's loyal to me, I think.

00:35:35Okay.

00:35:36You pull up the carpet, sort of,

00:35:38there's no other, she's just back into a spot.

00:35:40Yeah, yeah.

00:35:41Hey, Shalila.

00:35:43My goodness!

00:35:44Very well, you've all arrived here

00:35:46and didn't know you had such a ride with you.

00:35:50That's incredible, where'd you get that?

00:35:51We just got it at the bazaar.

00:35:52Nyarith love him.

00:35:54Wow!

00:35:55It's a standard on 2019.

00:35:57Me and Nyarith, I know he's kind of grumpy,

00:35:58we kind of have a, we're cool.

00:36:00He likes me a lot.

00:36:02It is manual, though.

00:36:03I've never known Nyarith to like anybody.

00:36:05He certainly does not like me, so it's weird.

00:36:08Well, we wanted to talk to you

00:36:09because in lieu of what you told me about my mother

00:36:14and why I've been bringing souls here to the Underworld,

00:36:18we've done some thinking.

00:36:20We all have some requests of Tanara

00:36:22and we'd like to present her with the souls, not you.

00:36:29Well, now, at this point, I use the message

00:36:32to talk to Troyanna and go,

00:36:35I don't feel like this one we agreed to.

00:36:37This is, we're being honest.

00:36:39This isn't what we're doing.

00:36:40Okay, got it, okay.

00:36:41And then she sent it back and I said, okay, got it.

00:36:42You see Shalila looks at you and goes,

00:36:46you wish, you wish to present these souls

00:36:50to the goddess of death herself,

00:36:53my mistress, who I have long served.

00:36:56You foremore, you should not even be

00:36:59beyond the bounds of Hollowgrave.

00:37:02Journeying farther in here,

00:37:04the very winds themselves will drink your life force alive.

00:37:07Have you already had a night's sleep in the Underworld?

00:37:11And you know that you have not.

00:37:12You've only rested that one hour with the tea.

00:37:14Shalila, it's irrelevant.

00:37:18We respect your work as a hunter for the goddess.

00:37:22I thought we were being friendly.

00:37:24But we are all on a journey here as well.

00:37:27And we'd like to once again,

00:37:30kindly ask you to have the bag of souls

00:37:34to present to Thanara.

00:37:35Gertrude is, her eyes are beating from laughter.

00:37:38She is sweating profusely and afraid.

00:37:42She just keeps looking at Princess going.

00:37:46Twyla turns into a rock.

00:37:51Tran, please give me a persuasion check.

00:37:54Help.

00:37:56Big money, big money.

00:37:57No, we're gonna end the difficulty.

00:37:59A 15 means she will hear out some part

00:38:03of what you are saying.

00:38:04A 20 means that she'll work with you.

00:38:07And a 25 is like, perfect.

00:38:08Do I have any advantage?

00:38:10If anyone wants to give a help action, they can.

00:38:12Help, help, help, help.

00:38:13What do you say in order to help Troyann with?

00:38:16I look at Shalila and go, one moment, please.

00:38:18I pull Troyann to the side and I go, listen,

00:38:22I feel like we gotta be a little,

00:38:25we don't wanna upset this woman.

00:38:27The game night, what about the game night?

00:38:28Yeah, you can mention the game night to sweeten the deal.

00:38:31We can play Uno, we can play anything she wants to play.

00:38:34Tell her we have like 80 games.

00:38:35Yeah.

00:38:36Yeah, and turn back to Shalila.

00:38:40Do entreat with the goddess herself.

00:38:42She has not seen a living mortal since your father.

00:38:48Well, this makes me happy that we didn't

00:38:49pretend to be her and walk around.

00:38:51Huh?

00:38:52Yeah.

00:38:53I'm really a bit suspicious.

00:38:54We, this is, I'm glad we dodged that bullet.

00:38:59So, I hear you, Shalila.

00:39:01And you know, I do also want to tell you,

00:39:03we did formally invite you to game night.

00:39:05And you seemed very excited about it.

00:39:07And we would like to still invite you to game night

00:39:10if you and your four friends, gods, would like to come.

00:39:12Now you may roll with advantage.

00:39:14Let's go ahead and do this persuasion roll.

00:39:15Now, Gertrude does wanna know,

00:39:16did she disguise your accent?

00:39:18Okay.

00:39:19Yeah, I'd really like to know

00:39:21why you're speaking like that, Troya.

00:39:24Yesterday, before the nabbit, it sounded like.

00:39:27I'm literally pretending to be American here.

00:39:30Oh, wait, so I roll with the.

00:39:32You're gonna roll with advantage,

00:39:33so you're gonna roll twice

00:39:33and take the better of the two rolls.

00:39:35Or the better of the two rolls.

00:39:37Don't do that fucking double one shit again.

00:39:38Everyone think 20.

00:39:3920.

00:39:40We're thinking 20.

00:39:4120.

00:39:4211.

00:39:43Plus, and what do you add to your persuasion?

00:39:45Two.

00:39:45So, 13.

00:39:46So, this has gotta be a 13 or higher.

00:39:50If we all say 20 at the same time,

00:39:51one, two, three.

00:39:52One, two, three.

00:39:5320.

00:39:5419.

00:39:5519 plus two is 21.

00:39:57Incredible.

00:39:59There we go, there we go.

00:40:01So, you see she looks and says,

00:40:02this is highly out of order and extremely unorthodox.

00:40:09Sorry, and you see out of her one eye,

00:40:10it's like her by the mask, she cries a little bit

00:40:12and just says, I've just never really been

00:40:14invited to anything like that.

00:40:19Hey, you know, down here,

00:40:21when you are the emissary of the goddess,

00:40:24people either fawn over you or they cringe

00:40:27or they want something from you

00:40:28and it's just very nice to feel like

00:40:31people relate to you on a personal level,

00:40:34not just because they want something from you.

00:40:37Aw.

00:40:37We hear that, Shalila,

00:40:39and we will gladly have you at game night.

00:40:41We are playing Scrabble, Uno,

00:40:43and of course, your favorite, Parcheesi.

00:40:46Ah!

00:40:48I love Parcheesi!

00:40:50Wow, all right, well, I am going to make

00:40:53a buffalo chicken dip that will

00:40:54make your socks roll up and down.

00:40:58All right.

00:41:01Listen, I cannot guarantee what mood

00:41:04will strike her when you approach,

00:41:08but I cannot in good conscience say

00:41:10that it is unprecedented, as the previous

00:41:15hunter of Everdeep did approach her

00:41:19with seven souls, so I do not think

00:41:22I would be doing anything I am unallowed to do.

00:41:27She reaches into her satchel

00:41:29and returns the amulet of souls to you.

00:41:33Feel free to approach her yourself.

00:41:36I have other business in the wasteland

00:41:39on my way to the Tower of Tombs,

00:41:41but I assume you will get there long before I do.

00:41:46I would just say, be very careful.

00:41:52There are others currently at the tower

00:41:55entreating the Goddess of Death.

00:41:57Already there?

00:41:58I bet it's Kiki.

00:42:00Kiki.

00:42:01Not already there.

00:42:01We gotta hurry up.

00:42:03Yeah, we gotta book it.

00:42:04I would hurry swiftly then, my friend.

00:42:06I am, much business do I do with mortals

00:42:09in the town of Hollowgrave, and you have

00:42:12always seemed to your own business

00:42:15and held yourself with your chin high,

00:42:19but I have always felt, even amongst

00:42:22our very quick negotiations, the respect

00:42:25that you had for me, and I return it to you.

00:42:28Thank you.

00:42:29As we say in Everdeep, molasso cano.

00:42:33Is it normal or okay for me to do that back?

00:42:36You can do it as well.

00:42:37Molasso cano.

00:42:38You see that, again, she wipes that one tear

00:42:41and says, farewell, and good luck flying there.

00:42:44You will need all haste.

00:42:46You have your amulet of souls back.

00:42:48Honesty was the, this whole time.

00:42:51Isn't that funny?

00:42:51Don't.

00:42:52See, but you had to be stern,

00:42:54because if I came in soft, she would've took us as a punk.

00:42:56You had to come in stern, and then, you know.

00:42:58Molasso cano.

00:42:59Well done.

00:43:00Molasso cano.

00:43:01So we better hop on this?

00:43:02Let's jump on this carpet.

00:43:03We better hop on this fucking carpet.

00:43:03I'm gonna just fly right next to y'all.

00:43:05This good old shag carpet.

00:43:06I don't think you can fly as fast with the carpet.

00:43:08Baby, I'm Faye.

00:43:10She's the fastest one here.

00:43:12On her legs, just.

00:43:14Okay, fine.

00:43:14You know what?

00:43:15Right alongside.

00:43:16You know what?

00:43:17Let me just sit in the back, though,

00:43:18because I get, like, car sick.

00:43:19That's fair.

00:43:19All of you begin to take off on the carpet,

00:43:22peeling out over the wastelands here.

00:43:24As you travel, you see the tower off in the distance,

00:43:28and journeying as fast as you can,

00:43:30you look and see many sights underneath you.

00:43:34Anyone who wants to,

00:43:35go ahead and give me a perception check.

00:43:38Who's the lucky, the last guy with the lucky hand?

00:43:40And you can all make it.

00:43:41Oh, okay.

00:43:42Yeah.

00:43:43Perception plus seven for me.

00:43:45I have an 11.

00:43:4611.

00:43:47Dirty 20.

00:43:48Dirty 20.

00:43:49Incredible.

00:43:49Dirty 20.

00:43:50Two plus seven is nine.

00:43:51I have a 17.

00:43:53As you are flying, princess,

00:43:54you look down and behold racing over the wastelands.

00:43:58You see that there is a field beneath you,

00:44:01and much of the underworld is very barren,

00:44:04but you see this field that first almost looks like crops,

00:44:08or there's some sort of thing, something planted here,

00:44:09but you know that nothing grows down here,

00:44:12but you see it's actually a field of swords.

00:44:15You see that there are swords planted in the ground,

00:44:19point down, and there's an entire field of them.

00:44:24As you look down and behold them,

00:44:25you see that there are soft lights sort of dancing,

00:44:29almost like motes of starlight dancing

00:44:32in this field down beneath you.

00:44:36It's a strange sight that may not have any significance

00:44:39to you in this moment,

00:44:41and you're very busy moving as swiftly as you are,

00:44:44but you do see it,

00:44:45and it has a strange sort of eerie beauty to it.

00:44:49On that high roll as well, having gotten that Dirty 20,

00:44:53moving over it, you begin to see all of these swords.

00:44:56There's hundreds of them,

00:44:57and then you see other sorts like spears and axes,

00:45:00and you begin to see that their hilts

00:45:05are wrapped in like vines and leaves.

00:45:07There are holly branches in the cross guards,

00:45:11and I think you realize that these are the swords

00:45:13of fallen fairy warriors

00:45:16scattered all throughout this place.

00:45:20You do not believe that your companions have noticed,

00:45:22and perhaps it is, there's too much urgency to stop

00:45:27or to point it out, but I don't know,

00:45:29but it's up to Princess whether you want to point it out

00:45:31to your companions or not.

00:45:33Mm-hmm.

00:45:34Yeah, Princess taps Twyla

00:45:37and points at the field of swords.

00:45:40Twyla looks up at Princess and says,

00:45:44what are you talking about?

00:45:45She wants to talk to you.

00:45:46Mm!

00:45:47Mm!

00:45:52Okay, well, I think,

00:45:55what does Twyla do now?

00:45:56She's really confused.

00:45:58Does she want to talk about her feelings?

00:46:00I think so.

00:46:01I think Twyla's a little, you know,

00:46:04I think she's really sad now.

00:46:06Yeah.

00:46:08Are you, how are you feeling?

00:46:09Are you just a little like,

00:46:10because you've been,

00:46:11because all your people are gone, too.

00:46:13Everybody's gone, right?

00:46:14And then like, thinking back,

00:46:16the trading situation was,

00:46:19it was the memories that wanted to be gathered

00:46:22by that demon.

00:46:25Oh, he wanted, and you?

00:46:26He wanted my memories,

00:46:28and I think that because I've lost everything

00:46:30and my people, that's all I have left.

00:46:34So that's like, for me, to be down here

00:46:37and to finally see this,

00:46:38I think it's a step closer to finally,

00:46:43maybe, getting Thanara to bring the people back.

00:46:49Twyla, as you look down,

00:46:50the carpet just sort of slows a little bit,

00:46:52still in the air,

00:46:53but as you touch the playing cards at your side,

00:46:57you see all these little motes of light

00:46:59sort of begin to swirl.

00:47:01They're sort of down below you,

00:47:02but you see, they're sort of beautiful.

00:47:05They sort of bob along,

00:47:06and they begin to twist up.

00:47:09The ones like right underneath you

00:47:09begin to sort of twist up,

00:47:11and you see they're only about that big,

00:47:12a little small,

00:47:13and you see that they start to touch

00:47:16the deck of cards at your side,

00:47:19and just.

00:47:20They recognize you.

00:47:21But they're not playing cards, are they?

00:47:23Or the playing cards at least.

00:47:25They recognize you or something.

00:47:26They have memories.

00:47:27They also have memories attached to these cards as well.

00:47:29Yeah, anyone who would like to

00:47:30can make an arcana check,

00:47:32which is one of your skills.

00:47:33Is that how we all give it a roll?

00:47:34Yeah, yeah.

00:47:35Arcana.

00:47:36An arcana is for, anyone can do it?

00:47:37Anyone can do it, yeah.

00:47:38It's just to see if you know anything

00:47:40about what's happening.

00:47:41I'm a five plus seven, I'm a 12.

00:47:4312, okay, yeah.

00:47:45I'm a five.

00:47:46Five.

00:47:46I'm a 14.

00:47:47A 14.

00:47:48So 17 plus two.

00:47:5119.

00:47:52Twyla, you have heard stories about this before.

00:47:55These little lights coming up

00:47:57from the field of swords are called will-o-wisps.

00:48:00And basically, the souls of fairies,

00:48:04because fairies are almost like living spirits themselves.

00:48:07They do not become corrupted in the underworld.

00:48:11And rather than kind of like be in their bodies

00:48:14and sort of be like rotting and very like,

00:48:16like a lot of the mortals you've seen,

00:48:17they're still very attached to their lives.

00:48:20The fairies are so of life and of the present moment.

00:48:23What are they called?

00:48:24Will-o-wisps.

00:48:26She won Dark Rites.

00:48:27Will-o-wisps.

00:48:28Will-o-wisps.

00:48:29Will-o-wisps.

00:48:30Will-o-wisps.

00:48:31Will-o-wisps.

00:48:32Will-o-wisps.

00:48:33It's the light spirit memory thing.

00:48:35It's the little, yeah,

00:48:36these are sort of like the living spirit,

00:48:38or these are, yeah, the spirits of fallen fae

00:48:42that are not corrupted by the underworld,

00:48:45but also by sort of like remaining pure,

00:48:49they just end up being these little motes of light.

00:48:51There's hundreds of them.

00:48:52I'm imagining that the fae people are made up of light,

00:48:56and when they come down here,

00:48:58they're just dimmed a little bit,

00:49:01so their light still exists,

00:49:03and Twilight's trying to release them.

00:49:06Is there anything,

00:49:07is there any way that we can find out

00:49:08a little bit more about her seed?

00:49:11Is there anything?

00:49:12The seed of all blossom.

00:49:13Does that light say anything?

00:49:14If you want to like descend down a little bit

00:49:16towards the field,

00:49:18I think you, you know, the carpet.

00:49:21Do I plant that here?

00:49:22Do what?

00:49:23Do I plant that here?

00:49:23I don't know.

00:49:24Is there a way to find out, or?

00:49:26Yeah.

00:49:27Let's say nothing can grow here with these veins.

00:49:29You land down, and you begin to look around,

00:49:31and Twilight, you look and see an axe

00:49:35that you remember was like Captain Martha's axe.

00:49:40You see a tiny little mound of sand

00:49:42that has a little sewing needle and a button shield,

00:49:46and all of these motes of light begin to dance around,

00:49:51bumping into you, body,

00:49:54but a lot of them, you can see them.

00:49:55It's almost like going to like a butterfly exhibit

00:49:57and having them land on you.

00:49:58It's like these beautiful little lights,

00:50:00and a lot of them are going towards those playing cards,

00:50:02and you realize, like Nyra said,

00:50:05like the memories associated with that object.

00:50:07Of the things you carry, you know,

00:50:09some of them remember, you know,

00:50:11oh yeah, I remember that.

00:50:12That was like Twilight's armor, her sword,

00:50:14but the playing cards were a thing

00:50:16that was meant to bring you all together,

00:50:18and meant to be a shared memory, a community.

00:50:20You gotta do something with those cards or something.

00:50:22Yeah.

00:50:23Alaska, you're good at this.

00:50:24Tell us what to do.

00:50:26I think in this moment, give me an insight check,

00:50:28and I think you can do it with advantage

00:50:30because your friends have helped.

00:50:31I'm helping you.

00:50:32Yeah. Okay.

00:50:33So go ahead and give me an insight check.

00:50:33They're all like, girl, what's going on?

00:50:35Tell us what's happening.

00:50:35Okay, insight.

00:50:37Yeah, we're just playing cards.

00:50:39That's a nine.

00:50:40And go ahead and roll, and you do have advantage,

00:50:41so you can roll again and take the higher of the two.

00:50:44This is insight?

00:50:46Insight, yeah.

00:50:47That's an eight.

00:50:48Okay, and what do you add to insight?

00:50:50Four.

00:50:51Okay, so nine plus four is 13.

00:50:53I think in this moment, you're racking your brain

00:50:56for like, what's a spell I can cast, or a thing like that,

00:50:58and I think that there's a moment of sorrow here

00:51:01as you realize that there is not some big arcane answer,

00:51:06but you see that they're bumping into the cards.

00:51:10You could just take your cards out.

00:51:11Take them out?

00:51:12Yeah.

00:51:13Should we play cards, ladies?

00:51:14We can play around the cards.

00:51:17Yeah, you just take them out and lay them on the ground.

00:51:20You take your cards,

00:51:22lay them out on the ground to play a quick hand,

00:51:24and as you do, you see all the little motes of light

00:51:27begin to bump into the face-up cards,

00:51:30and when they hit the face-up cards,

00:51:32you see they, and little diamonds,

00:51:35or the little clubs on the cards light up,

00:51:38and you see that all of them,

00:51:39and there's just this enchanting sort of feeling

00:51:42as all of the lights here in this monument

00:51:47of these fallen warriors joins the cards,

00:51:50and your deck of cards is glowing bright as the sun,

00:51:54and the light fades, and they feel warm to the touch

00:51:57as all the will-o'-wisps, every last one,

00:52:00enters the deck, and it feels warm,

00:52:03and your deck of cards contains all of that light now.

00:52:07You're like Gambit.

00:52:08So do you put them back in your,

00:52:10what do you do with these cards now?

00:52:12I think I'm gonna put it back into my Snatchel,

00:52:14and when we get to Thanara, we can have a discussion.

00:52:16Your little pixie fly, firefly fairy things

00:52:19have imbued you with a little fade.

00:52:21Yeah, there seems to be some help that can be, yeah.

00:52:23It's almost, I feel like almost,

00:52:25I feel like I've gotten to the point

00:52:27where I've collected all of the light,

00:52:30and possibly these souls,

00:52:34and now we just have to continue the journey

00:52:38to get to where we all need to be,

00:52:39because I think this is probably

00:52:41what we're gonna do right here, right now.

00:52:43Yeah, we're in a pretty good position.

00:52:44We haven't given up anything that we started with.

00:52:48We still have, all we gave up was one thing

00:52:49we just took from some zombie.

00:52:51That we didn't need it.

00:52:52Some zombie twink, you know what I mean?

00:52:54That's the only thing that we've lost.

00:52:55Right, right, okay.

00:52:57Zombie twink.

00:52:58Well, that was really beautiful.

00:52:59Now my people are with me.

00:53:00Okay, we're about to be at this house.

00:53:02You see Kerwin, who's the?

00:53:04Kerwin's still here.

00:53:05Kerwin's still here.

00:53:05I'm really, I'm still here, sorry.

00:53:07Oh.

00:53:08Should I announce?

00:53:08Oh my god.

00:53:10He's so quiet.

00:53:11He's so quiet.

00:53:12Again, just happy to be here.

00:53:13Just so, I thought I'd interrupt.

00:53:15That seems very sacred and quite beautiful.

00:53:18An issue that I foresee, looking in the distance,

00:53:21is we're in a lot of danger.

00:53:23And you see he points on the horizon.

00:53:26You look, and it's hard to see,

00:53:28because at first it looked like

00:53:28you thought it was part of the sky.

00:53:30But you see,

00:53:35dust, sand, rock,

00:53:38kicking up, going straight up from the ground.

00:53:42You realize, are you looking at a mountain range?

00:53:46You're looking at a wall of wind and sand

00:53:50as a storm races across the desert towards you.

00:53:53Oh!

00:53:54It is miles.

00:53:55It's moving.

00:53:56Miles wide.

00:53:57You look at it, at first it's so vast

00:53:59that you think you're looking at a piece of the landscape.

00:54:02And then realize, you see like a half a mile away,

00:54:05a small, weird little vein

00:54:07just get sucked up into the sky by a storm.

00:54:11It's like a desert sandstorm racing towards you.

00:54:14God.

00:54:14And as the wind moves, you see faces in the sand.

00:54:19Kerwin goes, soul storm.

00:54:21Soul storm, soul storm!

00:54:22A soul storm!

00:54:23There's a soul storm?

00:54:24Oh, God.

00:54:24Can I do a rope trick?

00:54:26None of our physical magic stuff's gonna work.

00:54:28Can we fly the fuck out of here with the magic carpet?

00:54:30We're gonna turn around?

00:54:32Oh, we got a carpet.

00:54:33We're on the carpet.

00:54:34Yeah, we don't wanna go back.

00:54:35We're trying to go forward.

00:54:36Can we just go higher?

00:54:37So where the soul storm is coming from,

00:54:38you could try to outrace it.

00:54:40It's coming right now from an angle.

00:54:42It's coming to us.

00:54:43It's coming towards you,

00:54:45but it's not coming from the direction that you're going.

00:54:47God, we're going that way, and it's coming this way.

00:54:48Yeah, it's coming from the side.

00:54:50So it's possible you could try

00:54:51to just get on that carpet and outrace it.

00:54:53I think so.

00:54:54Are there any speed spells, or?

00:54:56Yeah, who's the happiest?

00:54:57They should like, not be on this carpet.

00:54:58Hey!

00:55:00I'm just saying.

00:55:02I don't have any speed spell.

00:55:03Me either.

00:55:04Alaska moves the fastest, but she doesn't have speed.

00:55:06Oh, y'all know we're not on foot.

00:55:07Y'all don't have the spells.

00:55:08But nothing that makes us move fast.

00:55:11Y'all can't make spells with like, little items or something?

00:55:14I can't ask a forest creature to come down here

00:55:16to do anything.

00:55:17I think that we have to,

00:55:18maybe we just try our best to just like, punch it.

00:55:22Yeah, like outrace it.

00:55:24Oh, like go fast, not like physically go fast.

00:55:27Outrun that shit.

00:55:29Hell yeah.

00:55:29We just, we grab some of this rug,

00:55:32everyone grabs a tassel,

00:55:34and we just take a pull back,

00:55:35and we're like, yeah!

00:55:37Okay.

00:55:38Hell yes.

00:55:39All of you are sprinting,

00:55:39and you can see the stones around you

00:55:41like, shaking on the ground at the approaching thing.

00:55:44It's awesome.

00:55:44Yeah, you can see that the wind is kicked up

00:55:47like, through the sand.

00:55:48Now that you're looking through this, it gets closer.

00:55:50It's like purple indigo rocks.

00:55:51You see the wind screaming ghosts.

00:55:55Most of the undead you've seen have been corporeal,

00:55:57like rotting bodies.

00:55:59These are spirits that have been in the underworld

00:56:01so long that everything rotted away

00:56:03until it was just spirit left.

00:56:05Yeah, your father bought these souls here.

00:56:07They went back, sorry, they went back.

00:56:08Yeah, I released all my souls.

00:56:11Just, sorry, that was not the point.

00:56:14This is his moment, I have anxiety, I don't act my best,

00:56:18but I'm anxious.

00:56:19I don't want your daddy down.

00:56:22Screaming souls, like long trails

00:56:26of this ghastly, like, green-white energy.

00:56:30Ah!

00:56:31They scream, and all of you jump on the carpet.

00:56:34We are going to make some rolls

00:56:35as you move to outpace this storm.

00:56:37So, what we're gonna do is this.

00:56:39This is going to be acrobatics checks from the group.

00:56:44I have an eight.

00:56:44It's gonna be acrobatics checks,

00:56:45but it's going to be group checks.

00:56:48So we're going to use the two highest rolls, okay?

00:56:53Those lucky hands.

00:56:5415, 15.

00:56:55What's your acrobatics plus?

00:56:56Plus three.

00:56:57Oh, Monet, we really need you to.

00:56:59So, 15 means you keep pace.

00:57:03If you don't have your two highest rolls beat a 15,

00:57:08that's when trouble starts.

00:57:1015's the number you're trying to beat

00:57:11to keep pace with it.

00:57:12If you dip under that, the storm's gonna overtake you.

00:57:15So let's go ahead and roll these acrobatics.

00:57:16If we go over 15, we'll outrun it?

00:57:17You'll keep pace.

00:57:18You need to go over 20 in order to outrun it.

00:57:22So, let's go.

00:57:23The very top one.

00:57:24The very first one on skill.

00:57:2610.

00:57:27All right, I have 10.

00:57:2710 plus what?

00:57:29I got a 17.

00:57:3017.

00:57:3117 plus three, I have eight.

00:57:33Dirty 20.

00:57:34Yeah, dirty 20.

00:57:35I have a 14 plus five, 19.

00:57:3919, okay, 19 doesn't get us all the way to 20.

00:57:41So that's our second roll.

00:57:43Monet, we got?

00:57:44Eight.

00:57:4518.

00:57:4618 altogether.

00:57:4718, 19, 20.

00:57:4718, 19, 20, cool.

00:57:48So we're gonna go with that 19 as that median roll there.

00:57:51So it's not all the way to a 20.

00:57:52So you see, you guys, you're so,

00:57:55you're taking some time to try to ascend.

00:57:57So you're not getting far ahead of it.

00:57:59You're like going up, up, up.

00:58:01You see it's about like 50 feet

00:58:02behind the back tassels of your rug.

00:58:05And as we're going, Twilight slips a little bit

00:58:06and she's rolling off and I grab her.

00:58:07Boom!

00:58:08Grab her longbow.

00:58:09You grab her back, incredible.

00:58:11We're gonna roll again.

00:58:12Give me another acrobatics check.

00:58:13Okay, okay.

00:58:14Pulls her back on.

00:58:15She is just winged.

00:58:16Am I still a rock though?

00:58:17Wings are just, it's up to you.

00:58:19Wings just.

00:58:1918.

00:58:2018.

00:58:21I got an eight this time.

00:58:22Okay, 15 plus five is 20.

00:58:2520.

00:58:26The dirty 20.

00:58:27Two 20s to outrun the storm.

00:58:28Does anyone else get a 20?

00:58:29No, I got a eight plus three.

00:58:31I have a 10.

00:58:3210 plus, I think I got.

00:58:33All together, 10.

00:58:35So we got a 20 here.

00:58:37Jesus Christ!

00:58:39Don't touch the dice anymore.

00:58:41You see Kerwin going, we need to move faster!

00:58:43We need to move!

00:58:44And you see that he just starts looking around,

00:58:45just like throwing stuff at the storm

00:58:47because he can't help it all.

00:58:48He just like throws a knife at it.

00:58:50Is that helping?

00:58:51Now it's the third round we're doing this.

00:58:53Stakes are gonna go a little bit higher.

00:58:54So now, we need two 20s.

00:58:58If you get two 20s, it's the same thing.

00:58:59You'll escape the storm.

00:59:00Dirty or not.

00:59:01Fully.

00:59:02Dirty or not.

00:59:03But now, if you get under 18s, the storm gets you.

00:59:07Okay, so I think we should all say 20 at the same time.

00:59:10Say 20, okay.

00:59:11If that works.

00:59:12Okay.

00:59:12Two, three.

00:59:1320!

00:59:17Oh, Nat five.

00:59:17Not a 20!

00:59:18Not a 20.

00:59:19Six.

00:59:20I got a Nat one.

00:59:21Nat one.

00:59:22So one plus four.

00:59:22I have eight.

00:59:24Six.

00:59:2512.

00:59:25I have a 13.

00:59:2813.

00:59:29We're in a world of trouble.

00:59:31You see a mouth in the storm behind you.

00:59:36All of its teeth, screaming spirits.

00:59:39The storm, you feel the edge of the tassel

00:59:43going back into the mouth.

00:59:46Above you, you hear.

00:59:48Ah!

00:59:52Dead animals, too.

00:59:55Barreling down from the sky,

00:59:56you see a winged shape with a long tail,

01:00:01made of shadow.

01:00:02A dragon.

01:00:04Oh!

01:00:05Descending from the sky.

01:00:06You speak dragon.

01:00:07I don't know if he's gonna talk.

01:00:09With a rider on it.

01:00:12An armored figure.

01:00:14Descends from on top.

01:00:15As the figure on the dragon

01:00:16descends through the sky towards you,

01:00:18you see a rope lowered down.

01:00:22Twyla, you recognize this spell.

01:00:24I do.

01:00:25And you see a rope descends.

01:00:27It's a rope trick spell.

01:00:28I'm gonna need everyone here

01:00:29to make one last dexterity saving throw.

01:00:31So it's not acrobatics anymore.

01:00:32Now it's a dexterity saving throw.

01:00:33I got a plus three.

01:00:34Who's got a high one?

01:00:35I have a plus five.

01:00:36This is a lower difficulty than before

01:00:38because this person is helping you.

01:00:39So go ahead.

01:00:40Plus eight.

01:00:41Let's go ahead and roll.

01:00:43Oh!

01:00:44We need two of these rolls to beat a 13.

01:00:4813 plus eight.

01:00:5013 plus eight.

01:00:51Plus eight, 21.

01:00:52I have 19.

01:00:52I have 17.

01:00:5317.

01:00:5418.

01:00:55Hell yes.

01:00:56Oh, you win.

01:00:57Great, okay.

01:00:57So as the storm of this giant mountain,

01:00:59this dragon rider who appears from nowhere

01:01:01throws a rope down.

01:01:03The mouth, boom, comes down.

01:01:05And in the moment it comes down,

01:01:06you all touch the rope, grab the carpet,

01:01:08and vanish into shit.

01:01:11You all vanish into shadow.

01:01:14The rope trick spell momentarily

01:01:16creates a safe pocket dimension.

01:01:19You all look.

01:01:20You're in a strange extra dimensional space,

01:01:23but you see there's like a pane of dark glass,

01:01:25and you look out and see spirits and swirling sand,

01:01:30but you are momentarily protected

01:01:32in this magical bubble, this sanctuary.

01:01:34You were in the storm?

01:01:34You were in the storm.

01:01:35The storm's outside, but you're like protected by magic.

01:01:37You see the storm raging around you.

01:01:42On this platform of like darkened glass,

01:01:44protected by magic.

01:01:46And you see this figure with this dragon of shadow,

01:01:51who's like a smaller dragon.

01:01:52It's about like 20 feet long.

01:01:55It's not the size of like a skyscraper.

01:01:56Yeah.

01:01:57Is this dragon alive or is this dragon dead too?

01:01:59This looks like, it looks like neither alive nor dead.

01:02:02It looks more like a spirit, like a summoned creature.

01:02:04Got it.

01:02:04You see the figure remove her helmet.

01:02:08Long, beautiful raven tresses emerge,

01:02:12and you see this woman behold you,

01:02:14and smile and go,

01:02:19I'm very glad I was able to catch you in time,

01:02:22to save you from the soul storm.

01:02:25I am Norelle Blaze.

01:02:28I believe you met my grandson in life.

01:02:31Oh!

01:02:33Yes, I, I'm gonna write this name down, Norelle Blaze.

01:02:36I, my, my grandson may have referred to me as Norbert,

01:02:40but it is a pleasure and an honor to meet you here.

01:02:45Oh, okay, yes.

01:02:47Who's the grandson?

01:02:48When Norelle came to the house.

01:02:49The, the little, the little kid.

01:02:50Yes, when you were like,

01:02:51your grandfather Norbert was gay.

01:02:53But I misjudged, I misread it.

01:02:55I didn't read it right.

01:02:56I didn't read it right.

01:02:57Well, you see here in this moment that she,

01:02:59you see that you got her long raven tresses,

01:03:01and her face is like a long eye shadow

01:03:03that curls down at the edges.

01:03:05And she looks at you and says,

01:03:08my grandson found those treasures.

01:03:12And upon finding them,

01:03:14due to the magic of that treasure I hid,

01:03:17I found a little map of my own.

01:03:18And she takes a like underworld copy of the map you drew,

01:03:24and goes, and some of those treasures

01:03:27were capable of existing in both the world above

01:03:31and this one here.

01:03:33Thank you for the kindness you did, my grandson.

01:03:38It was my pleasure.

01:03:41And she scratches her dragon,

01:03:43who kind of purrs and shakes its head,

01:03:46and opens a saddle bag and says,

01:03:49consider this a token.

01:03:51You deserve to be paid with more than just a warning.

01:03:53I hope you and your friends succeed in your quest.

01:03:58And Norelle, she begins to just pull magical treasures

01:04:02out of this bag, and I have here

01:04:04a stack of magic items for all of you.

01:04:07Do we randomly draw?

01:04:09Oh, you don't have to randomly draw.

01:04:10There are.

01:04:11All of them are yours.

01:04:13God, we should randomly draw.

01:04:14That'd make it a little more fun.

01:04:16We'll take them all.

01:04:17Let her randomly draw.

01:04:18I'd like them all, Norelle.

01:04:19Come on, Norelle.

01:04:20Erika Norelle, okay.

01:04:23Hell yes.

01:04:23You see that she begins to hand them out to you,

01:04:25and I'll just tell you as the dungeon master

01:04:27what these objects do.

01:04:29She has a hunter's bow and a bow of this healing,

01:04:31which are plus one magical longbows.

01:04:34She has a greataxe of the mighty,

01:04:36which is a powerful magical axe.

01:04:39And she also carries with her a javelin of lightning.

01:04:44You see this golden, sort of like lightning-crafted javelin.

01:04:49And it's one I kind of like shrink to when I need it.

01:04:50I just tap this and it just gets long again.

01:04:52Isn't the bow yours?

01:04:55Aren't you the bow girl?

01:04:56We both have bows.

01:04:57We have longbows.

01:04:58There's actually enough for everyone to get two.

01:04:59Oh, nice.

01:05:00I'm excited about it.

01:05:01Two each.

01:05:02You see she also has a pair of magical boots.

01:05:05These like tall, sort of cuffed boots that you see have-

01:05:08Are those the Chanel magical boots?

01:05:10Yes, they are.

01:05:11Yeah.

01:05:12Yeah.

01:05:13Yeah.

01:05:16She has here as well, she brings out a crystal ball

01:05:19on an ornate silver stand.

01:05:22Oh, that's for me too.

01:05:23Monet, calm down.

01:05:25My God.

01:05:25You got the moods, you got the moods.

01:05:27Everything's for you.

01:05:28A beautiful, what looks like a sort of crystalline staff.

01:05:31It's like a letter that says, for Gertrude.

01:05:33That's me too.

01:05:36She says, most importantly for down here,

01:05:37several potions of healing.

01:05:39And finally, I'm not sure if,

01:05:41I'm not sure who this should be for, but I do have.

01:05:44And she takes out a very small, very subtle ring.

01:05:47Looks like a little sort of like almost white,

01:05:48like ivory ring.

01:05:50And she says, I'm not sure if any of you,

01:05:52you may not be interested in a power like this.

01:05:54It's a ring of invisibility.

01:05:55Oh, I don't need that.

01:05:56Oh, that's mine.

01:05:57That's mine.

01:06:01I don't know how worthy.

01:06:02Twyla excitedly says, oh, there it is.

01:06:06May I please have it?

01:06:08Incredible.

01:06:09All right.

01:06:09Finally!

01:06:10Ring of invisibility.

01:06:12It's like the one that changes my hair.

01:06:14Bob Sealy.

01:06:16We have the javelin of lightning here.

01:06:19Axe of the mighty right here.

01:06:21And then we have the, oh, staff of the war mage here.

01:06:25And our Volkswagen Beetle.

01:06:27I have a nice, I have a little quarter staff.

01:06:29This is much more powerful than the quarter staff.

01:06:31Speed boots.

01:06:32Crystal ball.

01:06:34And then you have four potions of healing,

01:06:37which if each of you wants to take one.

01:06:39One each, yeah.

01:06:40Yeah, here you go.

01:06:41Actually, I don't think Twyla needs any.

01:06:42I can heal, so y'all can keep it.

01:06:43Oh, okay, gotcha.

01:06:44Who's got the boots?

01:06:45Me.

01:06:46Okay, read the boots.

01:06:47Let's hear it for your girl.

01:06:48It's a bad-ass boots.

01:06:49While you wear these boots,

01:06:52you can use a bonus action

01:06:53and click the boots' heels together.

01:06:55If you do, the boots double your walking speed

01:06:58and any creature that makes an opportunity attack

01:07:00against you has disadvantage on the attack roll.

01:07:03If you click the heels together again,

01:07:04you end the effect.

01:07:06And when it's been used for a total of 10 minutes,

01:07:09the magic ceases to function until you finish a long rest.

01:07:13If you click them again, you go home.

01:07:15Good.

01:07:15To the land of Oz.

01:07:17Yeah, that's my law.

01:07:18So all of you sort of have gained a weapon

01:07:21that gives you a plus one to attack and damage.

01:07:23So your bows, your axe, your Staff of the Warm Age

01:07:25gives you a plus one for spells

01:07:27where you make an attack roll.

01:07:28Not every one of your spells involves an attack roll,

01:07:30but the ones that do, you'll have that plus one.

01:07:32And then the Javelin of Lightning

01:07:34effectively allows you to throw

01:07:36and it creates a line on the battlefield

01:07:38of lightning damage.

01:07:40The boots of speed increase your speed,

01:07:42which increases your jumping

01:07:43and makes you very good at running past enemies.

01:07:45And the Ring of Invisibility allows you to turn invisible.

01:07:50One thing to note about the Ring of Invisibility,

01:07:52attacking or casting a spell ends the invisibility effect.

01:07:56And then the Crystal Ball

01:07:57allows you to scry over long distances

01:07:59to see and hear things happening far away.

01:08:02Little recon.

01:08:03The storm rages outside

01:08:05and you see that Norell looks at you and goes,

01:08:09I'm sure you're aware that Zarya Hex

01:08:11has already moved across the wasteland

01:08:14and her army waits outside the Tower of Tombs.

01:08:18If you want to gain entry to the tower,

01:08:20you'll have to find some way around them

01:08:22or to sneak through.

01:08:24There are many thousands of undead soldiers

01:08:27outside of the tower.

01:08:28I know an invisible girl.

01:08:32You see that she then looks at you all and says,

01:08:35I know that Zarya has been waiting there for some time

01:08:38for two travelers from the mortal world.

01:08:43That I believe she has been waiting there for some time.

01:08:46I've been keeping an eye out as best I can.

01:08:48But I believe that there has been some force

01:08:53helping them navigate the underworld.

01:08:57I can't be sure.

01:08:59Shalila of the Half Mask or some,

01:09:01but I couldn't say exactly.

01:09:02But there has been someone helping Zarya

01:09:09knowing the ins and outs of the underworld down here.

01:09:14The underworld has always been a dismal place.

01:09:16But of late, it has grown darker still.

01:09:20Strange appetites of the goddess, the Nara,

01:09:24making deals with mortals above,

01:09:27rumors of bargains of immortality and such like that.

01:09:31I hope these treasures can be of some help to you.

01:09:35There was no hope for me to assail

01:09:37the Tower of Tombs myself.

01:09:38As a dead soul, the goddess of the underworld

01:09:41could simply banish me to the farthest edges

01:09:44of the underworld.

01:09:45Four living mortals might stand a chance where I would not.

01:09:50All right, so this is what we know.

01:09:52We know that we cannot fight our way through this one.

01:09:55No, what if we use our clasps

01:09:57and pretend to be undead?

01:09:59But they shall snap us away, maybe.

01:10:01But we can get through the army, at least.

01:10:03The clasps only, the goddess's power

01:10:06is not based on illusion.

01:10:08She only has power over the dead.

01:10:10The wraith clasps just make you seem dead.

01:10:12So she would not gain power over you.

01:10:15That's smart.

01:10:16But to get through the Zarya Hex army, I mean.

01:10:18Yeah.

01:10:19Because they're like guarding us.

01:10:20Maybe she'll think we're just undead coming in.

01:10:23No, that's not gonna happen.

01:10:25It's kind of like in Walking Dead

01:10:26when they just pretend to be zombies.

01:10:27So who is Zarya Hex keeping out?

01:10:28Is she keeping out the living?

01:10:29Because she's not dead.

01:10:31So is she keeping out the living?

01:10:33She's waiting for somebody, right?

01:10:35So she's expecting two living souls.

01:10:37She's expecting two living people.

01:10:39But if four dead people walk up,

01:10:40well five, because nerd.

01:10:42Thank you.

01:10:43Kerwin.

01:10:43You remembered me, I'm here.

01:10:45Yeah, I remembered you this time.

01:10:46Maybe they won't expect that.

01:10:48They're expecting us.

01:10:50Can Kerwin go first?

01:10:52Maybe we should.

01:10:52Let's see how convincing these wraith clasps look.

01:10:55Oh, okay, I'll grab mine.

01:10:56I have mine too.

01:10:57So at this point, Gertrude reaches into her backpack.

01:11:01She pulls out her wraith clasp.

01:11:02She looks at it.

01:11:03It's really quite beautiful.

01:11:04And she puts it over one horn.

01:11:07And then it kind of, once she clasped it in the back,

01:11:12all of a sudden she just feels her body

01:11:14like convulsing and shaking.

01:11:16She's foaming at the mouth.

01:11:17She's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:11:19And then her body feels like it's turning inside out.

01:11:23Then like a maggot starts to crawl out of her eyes.

01:11:25She's like, is there something on my face?

01:11:27Is there something on my face?

01:11:29Do you want there to be or not?

01:11:30And then her arm looks like it just falls off.

01:11:33And then she just all of a sudden looks

01:11:34like a half decayed zombie.

01:11:37And she's like, is it giving?

01:11:39It's giving.

01:11:40It's giving.

01:11:44You're giving me death.

01:11:45Yeah.

01:11:46Giving death becomes her.

01:11:48You see Norelle goes, those will work.

01:11:51Those will work.

01:11:52Let's try them on.

01:11:53I mean, I feel like Elle Woods at the party

01:11:55dressed like a bunny.

01:11:56Put yours on too.

01:11:58I put mine on, and all my makeup just comes off.

01:12:01And here we are.

01:12:04That was under there?

01:12:06Yep.

01:12:06Whoa.

01:12:07Whoa.

01:12:08And now she's dead.

01:12:10Embracing your natural beauty, I love that.

01:12:12I put mine on, and you know,

01:12:14when mer-people start to decay,

01:12:16I kind of look like I just have rigor mortis.

01:12:19Like, I just, all of my limbs swell.

01:12:21I just look, I look bloated, like I drowned.

01:12:23Ooh.

01:12:24Oh, gross.

01:12:25Yeah.

01:12:26And a princess puts hers on,

01:12:27and then she's just a really large zombie.

01:12:30Yeah, you look a lot like Kerwin, honestly.

01:12:35I was driving some company, you know.

01:12:37Like a twin.

01:12:38The storm passes outside, and as it does so,

01:12:43you see once again, passes into the distance.

01:12:46Your carpet flutters and awaits you.

01:12:49Norell bows her head once more,

01:12:52and says, farewell out there.

01:12:56If you were lucky, then more than just Kelvorda

01:12:59might be saved by your actions.

01:13:01And you take to the carpet, and whisk away.

01:13:05As you begin to approach the Tower of Tombs,

01:13:07you see it, monolith of obsidian basalt.

01:13:11Volcanic rock, seems to drink the light.

01:13:16You see the base of the tower,

01:13:17these red veins attached to the rock,

01:13:22as though this stone itself were the dead,

01:13:25unbeating heart of the ancient entity

01:13:28that was this underworld.

01:13:31Surrounding the base of the tower,

01:13:33that you can see from a far distance,

01:13:36you know, you're way, way up high.

01:13:38You see shambling hordes, zombie soldiers.

01:13:43And you see these are,

01:13:45unlike the dead souls you've met before,

01:13:47completely under thrall.

01:13:50They have no will anymore.

01:13:52Their unlife depends on the magical power of Zaria Hex.

01:13:57Hmm.

01:14:00I'm gonna put our acting skills to work here.

01:14:03chattering skeletons begin to move around.

01:14:08Now, here's the thing.

01:14:09Unfortunately, flying overhead will give you away.

01:14:12What do you want to do?

01:14:13Do you want to land and go through it?

01:14:14Hey, I think we park the carpet

01:14:16and just kind of like walk up from the side

01:14:18and just kind of like thrill her up to the gate.

01:14:22Da, da, da, da, da, da, you know?

01:14:26Is there a world where we could still use

01:14:28a Pass Without Trace spell?

01:14:30Absolutely.

01:14:31What's that one again?

01:14:31What does it do?

01:14:32So what happens is it disguises me, us,

01:14:35in shadows to aid in stealth and cover our tracks.

01:14:39I will say because this is so specific,

01:14:42I'm going to allow the plus 10 from Pass Without Trace

01:14:44to actually aid a performance check

01:14:47of you passing as undead in this space, right?

01:14:51So I'm going to say you summon those shadows

01:14:53and the shadows sort of fill the spots in your body.

01:14:57So even all that rotting the Wraith Clasps are doing,

01:14:59Pass Without Shadows like finds the wounds

01:15:01and actually opens the shadow in your torso

01:15:03so it looks like there are holes in your body,

01:15:06like true rot and like wounds and injuries from long ago

01:15:11and the spell manifests.

01:15:13Let's go ahead and we're going to roll

01:15:14a group performance check as you attempt

01:15:18to walk to the Tower of Tombs disguised as undead.

01:15:21Oh God.

01:15:23You're going to add 10 to all these rolls from that spell.

01:15:25Oh.

01:15:2610 plus what we have over here?

01:15:27Plus whatever you have, you're going to add to it.

01:15:28I have 25, 21 plus that, 31.

01:15:30I'm at 33.

01:15:3131, 31.

01:15:32I rolled an 18.

01:15:33Oh, I rolled a four.

01:15:34Gosh darn it.

01:15:36Well, I think we got 30, this is pretty good.

01:15:38Yeah, 17.

01:15:39So on a group check, you use the two highest rolls.

01:15:42So 34 and 31, what do you all start to do

01:15:45as you get the carpet and you know,

01:15:47park the, you know, get the carpet locked up

01:15:49and it sort of just rolls up into a roll and lies there

01:15:53and what do you, as you go over the ridge

01:15:56and it's just suddenly thousands of shambling zombies,

01:15:59what do you all do as you like?

01:16:00We start a conga line.

01:16:02Like tiptoeing.

01:16:03Yeah.

01:16:04So Gertrude looks at it and goes,

01:16:05all right girls, it's showtime.

01:16:07We just go like this.

01:16:08We should be doing the thriller dance.

01:16:09I think we should really celebrate the moment.

01:16:10Yeah, so we're doing this dance,

01:16:13but it does look very undead.

01:16:15It is very convincing.

01:16:17No one is suspecting us at all.

01:16:20We are writhing and like crawling.

01:16:23I'm using my one arm to just like keep scooting ahead.

01:16:27Who dropped the other one off?

01:16:28It looked like it fell off, remember?

01:16:30Incredible.

01:16:31Because I can't use it.

01:16:32It's still there, but I can't,

01:16:33I don't want them to see me using the gone arm.

01:16:36They go, hey.

01:16:37I've been just using the dead arm.

01:16:40As you begin to walk,

01:16:41you see the sort of shambling figures around you.

01:16:49Oh, they join us.

01:16:50And they all fired.

01:16:51We start a flash mob.

01:16:53Yeah, a flash mob.

01:17:00As you begin to walk, you're totally obscured,

01:17:02and you see up on a disk,

01:17:04as you sneak closer and closer,

01:17:05you see one of the veins in the base of the tower

01:17:09is sort of attached to the stone,

01:17:11but you see that there is a seam in the side

01:17:13and an opening into the base of the tower

01:17:15that can get you away from all of these

01:17:17hordes waiting there.

01:17:18As you move through and see the sort of flash mob

01:17:20of zombies is like disguising your approach,

01:17:22you just seem like one of many doing this.

01:17:25You hear a stern voice,

01:17:28and Twila, you hear a voice you have not heard

01:17:30in years.

01:17:32Minions of death, flash mob if you wish,

01:17:37but heed my words, the time has come.

01:17:46And you literally-

01:17:47That's very triggering to Dracarys, girls.

01:17:49The time has come.

01:17:49I know.

01:17:50Very triggering phrase to Dracarys.

01:17:53And I did not stretch today,

01:17:54so I'm a little nervous.

01:17:55The time has come.

01:17:56Oh, God.

01:17:57Especially for me.

01:17:58At first you're like, oh, is there like a throne

01:18:02or some kind of podium or whatever?

01:18:05And you see it's not.

01:18:06Skeletons and zombies literally crawl on top of each other

01:18:11to make a staircase.

01:18:13And a woman in blood red robes with a crown of blood.

01:18:18Zarya Hex.

01:18:20There she is.

01:18:21Whoa.
