00:00:00We're not, we didn't queue on her!
00:00:02Now, at this point, yes.
00:00:03Gertie, we said no more lies.
00:00:04Yeah, we are.
00:00:05We're thinking about it.
00:00:06We're considering it.
00:00:07No more lies.
00:00:08Okay!
00:00:09We're just thinking about it.
00:00:10We're thinking about it.
00:00:11Thinking about it.
00:00:12I want to just disguise myself as the water.
00:00:15Oh my.
00:00:16So, do you see?
00:00:17Twyla vanishes, and there is a pool of deep water, and the jackal goes,
00:00:23So, do you see?
00:00:24Twyla vanishes, and there is a pool of deep water, and the jackal goes,
00:00:34Okay, here's the thing.
00:00:35I have Fog Cloud, okay?
00:00:37It is a spell I can cast...
00:00:38It's like a pool of water right now.
00:00:39Go ahead.
00:00:40And I'm just wet.
00:00:41It's a spell I can cast to create a deep bank of concealing fog.
00:00:44Can we steal from...
00:00:46Yes, you can steal if you want.
00:00:48There is, of course, a tremendous risk associated with that.
00:00:51But that is absolutely an option.
00:00:53No risk, no reward.
00:00:54No risk for no reward.
00:00:55That's also a card that you could keep up your sleeve if you exhaust one pathway.
00:01:02Having that up your sleeve of if things go really bad, we can always...
00:01:05I'm not interested in selling.
00:01:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:07I'm not interested in selling.
00:01:08You see Nyarith looks and says,
00:01:09Let me not be misunderstood to all of you and this puddle of water.
00:01:16Okay.
00:01:19What I mean to say is I am deeply uninterested in your playing cards
00:01:24as dross, crass material objects.
00:01:29However, there are things ethereal and ephemeral associated with those cards.
00:01:38Your memory of what they meant to you.
00:01:41You're talking to a pond right now.
00:01:43And I want to get wet.
00:01:46Now I want to keep the cards.
00:01:50Now I want to keep them.
00:01:51My memory of the cards?
00:01:52If I'm not much mistaken, you have the bearing or did before you were a puddle.
00:01:59You had the bearing of a soldier.
00:02:01It's been a long time since I saw the fairies coming in hour by hour by hour
00:02:09filled with fairies who had been slain in that war.
00:02:14Terrible.
00:02:15My belief is that those cards may indeed have memories attached to them
00:02:21of long nights of camaraderie, friendship, joy.
00:02:27Memories like that are as nectar to the gods
00:02:33for the damned souls who dwell in this underworld.
00:02:37Memories of joy and friendship I can sell to the withered souls of this place.
00:02:44So I'm not interested in your cards
00:02:47unless they come with the memories attached to them.
00:02:50So if she gives up the memory, she'll forget, she'll never...
00:02:54I don't like that.
00:02:55Is that what it means?
00:02:56Yeah.
00:02:57That means I can't go with what I'm supposed to be doing, so no.
00:03:00You would be...
00:03:01That's dark-sided.
00:03:02Yeah.
00:03:03That means that the whole point of me being down here
00:03:06makes no sense if you take my memories away.
00:03:08Don't do that.
00:03:09You see, Nyarath says,
00:03:10perhaps you are concerned that I would completely obliterate your identity.
00:03:14I am very surgical with my magic.
00:03:18Only those memories associated with the cards themselves.
00:03:21Any memories of your family or your leaders I'm sure you would keep.
00:03:26It's just those nights around the campfire I'm most interested in.
00:03:32Well, how about I give you one card so you get one memory?
00:03:36I might consider it, but it depends on what you're trying to buy.
00:03:40And it sounds like you're trying to buy something very dear indeed.
00:03:44Just tell him, just tell him, just tell him what you want.
00:03:47How many memories does that have?
00:03:48Just tell him what you want.
00:03:49I need a soul.
00:03:54You need a soul?
00:03:55I need a soul.
00:03:56A soul for a memory sounds like a great exchange to me.
00:03:59Some might say a Monet exchange.
00:04:08Yes, an exchange of something more priceless than Monet.
00:04:15I would consider it, but a single card by itself would be hard to come by.
00:04:21The memories are associated with the hands, the deck, the game itself.
00:04:26Is there anything else that you might be able to throw in to sweeten the deal?
00:04:32Maybe offer the extra Wraith, why am I whispering?
00:04:35Maybe offer the extra Wraith class.
00:04:38If you have one extra Wraith class, that sweetens the deal.
00:04:41But not the one that we use.
00:04:43No, but Uncle doesn't need the Wraith class.
00:04:45We have one extra.
00:04:46You have the Corrupted one.
00:04:47I have the Corrupted one.
00:04:48We have the Corrupted one and one extra.
00:04:49I think we should give the one extra,
00:04:51because I think the Corrupted one would have more value for Uncle.
00:04:54So let's start with the one extra Wraith class.
00:04:57So as you've heard, right,
00:04:59what he's basically said is he sells to the dead.
00:05:02So you know that Corrupted Wraith class
00:05:04is gonna be worth a lot down here.
00:05:06So if you throw that extra Wraith class in front of him,
00:05:09I will give you another chance at that Persuasion check.
00:05:13Should you roll it?
00:05:14Well, she has the extra one.
00:05:15Oh, yeah.
00:05:16But you can also add a D6 to your Persuasion as well.
00:05:19You have that Commanding Presence that you can use here too.
00:05:23Okay.
00:05:24Cool.
00:05:25So go ahead and roll that D20.
00:05:28Add your Persuasion.
00:05:30Six plus five.
00:05:32Looking at the playing card in the Wraith clasp,
00:05:34he says, a Wraith clasp.
00:05:37I haven't seen one of those in a little while.
00:05:39Very useful.
00:05:40I would be willing to consider bargaining
00:05:44with some of my souls for what you've put in front of me.
00:05:50But unfortunately, those are only of use to the living
00:05:53and precious few of those come through my shop.
00:05:59So I'm afraid I'll need something a little bit more
00:06:02to sweeten the deal.
00:06:04Ladies, gather up.
00:06:05Wait a minute.
00:06:06Are we doing three things now?
00:06:09They said he drives a hard bargain.
00:06:11We were warned probably three times
00:06:13that it's gonna cost a lot.
00:06:14If I were you, I would let us do it
00:06:16because you are on the documentary.
00:06:18Well, you have it out for the...
00:06:20You know this guy.
00:06:21Well, see, maybe he hit me up online once
00:06:24and then ghosted me.
00:06:25And now I know why he ghosted me
00:06:27because he's a fucking demon.
00:06:28Demon.
00:06:29Here's the thing.
00:06:30In case things go here,
00:06:31I'm not saying we should go there,
00:06:32but in case things go here,
00:06:34I have something called Darkness.
00:06:36Creates an area of magical shadows that obscure sight.
00:06:40If we need to just grab and run,
00:06:42I can throw some Darkness.
00:06:43I don't know where he keeps the souls in this shop.
00:06:46We can find out.
00:06:47We'll have him bring it out.
00:06:48We could give him an offer he can't refuse.
00:06:52I could cast Darkness.
00:06:54You two can see in the dark.
00:06:55Can I see in the dark?
00:06:56No.
00:06:57No, I do.
00:06:58I have eyes of the dark.
00:06:59I can see 120 feet in the dark.
00:07:00Can you see in the dark?
00:07:01With no light.
00:07:02I can disguise myself as a flashlight.
00:07:04You are out of control.
00:07:08So those are options.
00:07:10We can either give the actual bargain,
00:07:12give him the thing,
00:07:13which we could end up using for someone later,
00:07:15or just Darkness.
00:07:17I think we say that we offer him these things,
00:07:19and when he brings out the soul,
00:07:21power, snatch, don't give him anything, leave.
00:07:24We're gonna double cross.
00:07:26But he's gonna fight us, though, right?
00:07:28We don't know.
00:07:29But if he does-
00:07:30So we have agreed we are going to give him an offer
00:07:32he can't refuse,
00:07:33and we're not actually gonna follow through?
00:07:34We're not.
00:07:35All right, here we go.
00:07:36That's shady, though.
00:07:37Shady, okay.
00:07:38He said not to lie.
00:07:40He did.
00:07:41All right, here we go.
00:07:44Oh, shit.
00:07:45We've decided.
00:07:47Wonderful.
00:07:49It went completely quiet in here,
00:07:51and you all were giving each other these intense looks
00:07:53like you were talking telepathically.
00:07:55Yeah, I was using message there, for sure.
00:07:58So it has occurred to me
00:08:03that I just remembered
00:08:05that we do have a corrupted wraith class
00:08:09that you could use for your undead friends.
00:08:13You don't say.
00:08:15Show him.
00:08:16What for?
00:08:17Can we see?
00:08:19I mean, you show us, we show you.
00:08:21Well, excuse me.
00:08:23He moves a ladder attached to a railing,
00:08:25like the ones you see in libraries,
00:08:27and moves through this huge index card,
00:08:30like sort of small files,
00:08:32and begins to read around,
00:08:33and as he opens one,
00:08:34blood red light emerges from it
00:08:36as you hear him clacking through
00:08:37what you recognize must be
00:08:39hundreds of captured souls.
00:08:43Let's see here.
00:08:45I think this is for who it's for,
00:08:48and do give my regards to Shalala,
00:08:50when you see her.
00:08:51Shalala?
00:08:52How did you know?
00:08:53Hey, J. Lo.
00:08:54We're at death drop.
00:08:55He says,
00:08:56ah, I believe this might be what you're looking for.
00:09:01This red gem pulses with light.
00:09:05This is the soul of Oliver Lieber,
00:09:09the famed producer who composed
00:09:12Opposites Attract by Paula Abdul.
00:09:14Oh!
00:09:16Remember MC Scatcat?
00:09:18Yeah.
00:09:19Incredible, yep.
00:09:20Two steps forward, one step back.
00:09:25Okay, now at this moment,
00:09:27now that we have the amulet in our hand,
00:09:30all right, it's time.
00:09:32It's on, ladies.
00:09:33First of all, before I cast darkness,
00:09:35I need you to look where the door is
00:09:36so you can make a beeline.
00:09:38Tell me where the door is.
00:09:39It's the one we came in.
00:09:40Where did we come in?
00:09:41Behind us.
00:09:42Somebody hold my hand.
00:09:44Can you grab her hand?
00:09:45You're big and strong.
00:09:46Yeah.
00:09:47Just ride on me.
00:09:48All right, I'm going to cast darkness.
00:09:51I put it in my satchel.
00:09:52It is now full-on dark.
00:09:55So what happens is,
00:09:57as Troy-Ann grabs the soul,
00:10:00Gertrude opens her mouth,
00:10:02and then a pool of just black fog
00:10:05comes rushing out of her mouth.
00:10:07It is just...
00:10:08It fills the entire room.
00:10:10It's swirling from the floor like a liquid.
00:10:12It has filled the entire room.
00:10:14And my skin starts to go bioluminescent
00:10:16because that's how I see the dark.
00:10:17I can see 60 feet in front of me
00:10:19by the bioluminescence,
00:10:20so you can see a little bit too.
00:10:21My eyes are wide out,
00:10:22like I don't have any pupils,
00:10:23and I can see about 120 feet.
00:10:26And this shop is, how big is the shop?
00:10:28Oh, it's like 40 feet by 40 feet.
00:10:2940 feet by 40 feet.
00:10:30Oh, so I can see great with no light.
00:10:33And I disguise myself as your hair.
00:10:38Okay, works.
00:10:39So then I'm just there with you, baby.
00:10:41It's like 30 feet of hair.
00:10:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:43That's her mom.
00:10:44That's her mom.
00:10:46My hair's up in a ponytail.
00:10:47Okay, well, I'm the tip of the ponytail.
00:10:49There we go.
00:10:50Unbelievable.
00:10:52All right, so it's like this tense moment of negotiation,
00:10:55and suddenly it's just like,
00:10:56suddenly it's just like, cheese it!
00:10:58We've got to get out of here!
00:11:01And darkness erupts from your mouth.
00:11:03I'm going to need everyone here,
00:11:04because it's going to be quick acting.
00:11:06I'm going to need everyone here to roll initiative once again.
00:11:08All right.
00:11:09Initiative.
00:11:11We still do the d20, right?
00:11:13Dirty 20.
00:11:14Oh!
00:11:15Dirty 20.
00:11:16Wait, really?
00:11:17Oh!
00:11:18I'm nat 20!
00:11:19Nat 20!
00:11:20Nat 20!
00:11:21Okay, I have an eight.
00:11:22I have an eight.
00:11:23You have an eight.
00:11:24So you're taking-
00:11:25I have anxiety!
00:11:27So I think that you,
00:11:29it's like that performance anxiety,
00:11:31if you're like, all right, time to make darkness.
00:11:33And it's just too much.
00:11:34It just keeps coming.
00:11:35You just can't stop making darkness come out of your mouth.
00:11:38So with these two nat 20s,
00:11:40I believe on a 20, you get a 34?
00:11:42Yep, nat 20 plus 14, 34.
00:11:44Damn.
00:11:45Incredible.
00:11:47So Twilight Troyanne Princess,
00:11:49as it goes dark, what is it that you do?
00:11:51I will also say this.
00:11:52I will also say this.
00:11:53Twyla, you have the ability as a gloomstalker ranger,
00:11:56you can see in this darkness.
00:11:58Oh, so I can see.
00:11:59You can see in the darkness.
00:12:01For you two, this darkness is actually,
00:12:04because it's of a magical nature,
00:12:06even this darkness is obscuring your vision.
00:12:09But you remember where the door-
00:12:10I thought you knew that before we cast the spell, Brennan.
00:12:13But it's all good.
00:12:14You remember where the door is.
00:12:15So you know, but you might have to make a check
00:12:17to like get safely through the shop.
00:12:19Twyla, we're gonna start with you.
00:12:22I'm sorry to cut you off.
00:12:23No worries.
00:12:24You can help disguise.
00:12:25Well, no one can see anything.
00:12:27So Twyla, you can see.
00:12:29You can see.
00:12:30So you could actually help your friends
00:12:33get to the door safely if you wanted to.
00:12:35Oh, if I want to.
00:12:37If you want to.
00:12:38Well, I would love to.
00:12:39Because my friends are my family.
00:12:42Even though there are things that you say about me
00:12:44in the underworld that I can hear.
00:12:46We're sorry.
00:12:47Well, we're saying them to you,
00:12:49so you can hear them
00:12:50because we're saying them directly to you.
00:12:52Ladies, let's get out.
00:12:56Come on, Twy.
00:12:57Incredible.
00:12:58I cannot believe, Bob, how good darkness is.
00:13:02This guy has so many spells that can instantly kill people
00:13:07that he has to be able to see and work.
00:13:10That's so insane.
00:13:12You're in so much danger right now.
00:13:15But he can't see them, though.
00:13:16He can't see you.
00:13:17He can't see you.
00:13:18He cannot see you.
00:13:19We gotta get far from this tavern,
00:13:21this bazaar, this haberdashery.
00:13:23Not a haber, that's where they make hats.
00:13:25Okay, Twilight, you grab the hands of Troyanne and Princess.
00:13:28And all three of you are just, you've got the soul,
00:13:30you're booking it for the door.
00:13:31So I'm like, piss.
00:13:32All of you burst with Gertrude's shadows
00:13:34still clinging to your body as you burst from the door.
00:13:37Kerwin whips around and goes,
00:13:39something go wrong in there?
00:13:40Is everything all right?
00:13:41And unfortunately, Nyroth is going to act before Gertrude.
00:13:47Now, I have to look up,
00:13:48because he has a dispel magic.
00:13:50Wait, am I by myself in here now?
00:13:51We're already out?
00:13:52Well, you're all running for the door at the same time.
00:13:54I'm so sorry.
00:13:55Well, I can see through magical darkness.
00:13:57Yes, you can see through.
00:13:58Which is nice.
00:13:59You can see through magical darkness.
00:14:00Am I by myself in here?
00:14:01Yeah, Gertrude, I think you are.
00:14:02I can't cast a spell from outside.
00:14:04Yeah, I can't do anything.
00:14:06Because you know I have that power
00:14:07to turn his ass really tiny.
00:14:09Do you?
00:14:10Yes, girl, look at this one.
00:14:12Enlarge, reduce, shrink, or grow an enemy or ally.
00:14:15Oh, my God.
00:14:16I know.
00:14:17Maybe that's why he's so small.
00:14:18Maybe, maybe you're...
00:14:19Shrunk myself.
00:14:20I am in here close to this upset demon.
00:14:23Well, you costed it, baby.
00:14:25Knees buckling.
00:14:26Oh, man.
00:14:27Darkness is just coming out.
00:14:29It will not stop.
00:14:30Did that tell you why we lied?
00:14:32Okay, this is what's going to happen.
00:14:33That darkness spell was an incredible bit of sorcery on your part.
00:14:37He has so many powerful spells,
00:14:39but unfortunately, all of the most powerful
00:14:41he needs to be able to see you.
00:14:42So he's going to spend his turn
00:14:45doing the one thing he can do,
00:14:47which is dispelling your darkness spell.
00:14:50So in other words, all of you burst out the door,
00:14:53and you see Nyrith goes,
00:14:55I'm afraid shoplifting is not appreciated.
00:14:58And his jackal lips purse,
00:15:01and he sucks the darkness into his mouth.
00:15:03Hello, friend.
00:15:05It is your turn to act.
00:15:07The darkness is gone,
00:15:08but he's used his turn,
00:15:09and it is now your turn.
00:15:10No, what are you doing?
00:15:12Okay.
00:15:13We're just all standing in the window like, no!
00:15:15Okay, this is wild.
00:15:18Okay, so I have, okay, so I know that he can dispel.
00:15:21So if I cast spells, he can dispel them.
00:15:23But not until his turn.
00:15:24Not until his turn.
00:15:25And he can also kill me in one move with one spell.
00:15:29So I have, I have counterspell?
00:15:32Mm-hmm.
00:15:33Which can, so, okay, what counterspell?
00:15:35Wait a minute.
00:15:36Oh my gosh.
00:15:37Oh my gosh.
00:15:38You can counterspell the dispelling he just did.
00:15:40I just want to make it clear,
00:15:41because you're playing with these rules for the first time,
00:15:43and Sorcerer's very complicated.
00:15:44Normally, counterspell only works
00:15:47if you can see the other person.
00:15:49But you can see through magical darkness.
00:15:51So if you want to dispel his dispel,
00:15:54if you want to counter his dispel magic,
00:15:56you can absolutely do that.
00:15:58And can I also, I can't dash as well.
00:16:00You can dash as well.
00:16:01And then it's your turn.
00:16:02You can take a double move and sprint out of the store.
00:16:03Yes, I'm dashing, I'm dashing 60 feet,
00:16:05and the room is only 40 feet, as you said.
00:16:06Yes, that's correct.
00:16:07We are just regurgitating and regurgitating
00:16:09the same red smoke all over the room.
00:16:11It actually looks kind of disgusting.
00:16:13So they're both kind of floating in the air
00:16:15with the smoke going between their mouths.
00:16:17Y'all said COVID who?
00:16:19Droplets everywhere.
00:16:21And then as the smoke is just refilling the room,
00:16:24they're both just,
00:16:25their lips are almost this close to each other.
00:16:28And then she decides to dash.
00:16:30Once the room is refilled with smoke,
00:16:32she decides to make a dash for the door.
00:16:34And then she's like, we need to fucking go.
00:16:37Incredible.
00:16:41So he just like, his lungs filled with smoke.
00:16:44The lips so close together.
00:16:45Wait, and you hit out of the shop.
00:16:48All of you hit the street and bail.
00:16:51Boom.
00:16:52He can't move that fast.
00:16:53He's old.
00:16:54So we got to go.
00:16:55You hear just a howl from that saying,
00:16:57return that soul to me.
00:17:00And the smoke shadow coming out of his lungs.
00:17:03All of you sprint out of there as fast as you can.
00:17:06I'm going to need a group stealth check
00:17:09to try to like avoid,
00:17:10like he's calling for the guards.
00:17:12There's those big like frog demons around.
00:17:14I need this to be good.
00:17:15Let's get a stealth.
00:17:16He's got it out for me.
00:17:17Yeah.
00:17:18What do you got?
00:17:20Mo?
00:17:21Mo?
00:17:22What is it?
00:17:23Mo?
00:17:24Oh, not a one.
00:17:25Oh God.
00:17:26Okay.
00:17:27Oh my God.
00:17:28It's a one.
00:17:29Yo, we're fucked.
00:17:30This Gekko is,
00:17:31you need to,
00:17:32can we rely on,
00:17:33or are we just fucked already?
00:17:34Well, you got two net ones.
00:17:35If you were to cast pass without trace,
00:17:37which it's,
00:17:38I'm going to say that.
00:17:39Should I roll still or no?
00:17:40You can still roll.
00:17:41If you,
00:17:42if Twyla wants to cast pass without trace.
00:17:43First of all,
00:17:44Twyla would have to beat nine,
00:17:45which would become a 19.
00:17:46Right?
00:17:47So you would have to roll.
00:17:48You would have to roll.
00:17:49You would have to roll.
00:17:50You would have to roll.
00:17:51You would have to roll.
00:17:52You would have to roll.
00:17:53You would have to roll.
00:17:54So you're going to roll a 19,
00:17:55but the way group checks work
00:17:57is you just use the top half of the results.
00:18:00So theoretically we could cancel these ones out
00:18:03as long as we get higher.
00:18:04But unfortunately,
00:18:05a nine is still not very high as well.
00:18:07So what do we need now?
00:18:08So we would,
00:18:09I think Twyla,
00:18:10if you cast pass without trace,
00:18:11it'll be the last
00:18:13of your powerful spells that you can cast,
00:18:15at least until you get like a full rest.
00:18:17So does it feel important in this moment to do that
00:18:20or do you want to play it without magic?
00:18:22I feel like we should do that.
00:18:24Okay.
00:18:25Because that's the only way to save us.
00:18:27Are we going to be able to get rest in town?
00:18:28There's an inn here, isn't there?
00:18:29So there's an inn.
00:18:30I just disguised myself as a bed.
00:18:34So once again, you call on that fairy shadow magic.
00:18:37So now we're going to roll your stealth check.
00:18:39So roll your stealth check here.
00:18:40We need to beat, we still want to beat that.
00:18:42Come on, Twyla.
00:18:43Come on, we need like a 13.
00:18:44Come on, Twy.
00:18:45Lucky 13, I just remembered.
00:18:46I can't never ask you for anything.
00:18:47This is what I want, and I know you're really busy.
00:18:55Ah, no!
00:18:56What, a one?
00:18:57A one.
00:18:58A one.
00:18:59Three ones.
00:18:59This is unfucking believable.
00:19:01This is what the?
00:19:02Crazy.
00:19:04Why did you make me do that?
00:19:04This table is weighted.
00:19:06It's magnets, it's magnets.
00:19:08What, I don't get this.
00:19:09It's magnets, I know what you all are doing over there.
00:19:12The producers, the producers, the game is rigged.
00:19:15I see you.
00:19:16Rigamorous.
00:19:17Hold on.
00:19:18What happened?
00:19:19Okay, so tell us.
00:19:21So here's what happens.
00:19:24You all, this went off without a hitch.
00:19:27I hate my life.
00:19:27Baby, you got that soul, sprint down the street.
00:19:30You turn a corner and all of you full like
00:19:33Three Stooges style, right into the chest
00:19:36of a hulking Janari demon.
00:19:38Oh God.
00:19:39Is he bigger than her?
00:19:40No, he is not bigger than Princess.
00:19:42He's still seven feet tall.
00:19:43But you see that there are about five of them right here.
00:19:47Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:19:48Turn and you see that I'm gonna need,
00:19:51with three nat ones, we have to honor how unlucky that is.
00:19:56So I am going to need a dexterity saving throw
00:20:00from Troyanne and it's gonna be a difficulty of 20.
00:20:02Okay, now I think I remember one of my powers
00:20:06is I can swap for this die if I need to.
00:20:09Ooh, is that based on,
00:20:10do you remember the name of that power?
00:20:11No, I'm kidding, it's not a power.
00:20:12Okay, my man, you are so good.
00:20:15I was so ready.
00:20:16I was so ready to do it.
00:20:18Let's go ahead, do we need a 15 or higher?
00:20:20You got it.
00:20:22You can do it.
00:20:23Nat 20, watch.
00:20:23Troyanne.
00:20:24You got it.
00:20:26What, if it's a one, I'm gonna just leave it.
00:20:28What is it?
00:20:29It's a five.
00:20:30Oh, okay, we are gonna get beat.
00:20:31We're gonna get trapped in some shit.
00:20:32All of you turn the corner as you run Troyanne.
00:20:35You, with a mighty leap sprint, bam,
00:20:38hit this powerful chest of this snarling demon
00:20:42in front of you and on that failed dexterity save,
00:20:46you watch the soul pop out of your bag
00:20:50as you fall backwards.
00:20:52And one of the demons grabs it in his hand.
00:20:56Hey, what's this?
00:20:59Where to in such a hurry?
00:21:02Hey, wait a minute.
00:21:03And these hulking sort of like toad reptile demons
00:21:07gather around.
00:21:11You're not dead.
00:21:13You're not dead at all.
00:21:14Yes, we are.
00:21:17Stop lying.
00:21:18What about our wraith clasps?
00:21:21They'll see us change.
00:21:22Do we have to hide the wraith clasps?
00:21:24You have your,
00:21:25so you can activate your wraith clasps now
00:21:27if you would like to try to like disguise yourselves.
00:21:30But he's gonna see us.
00:21:31Does that matter?
00:21:31And Troyanne, you know that it's not like,
00:21:35it's not like illegal for the living to be here,
00:21:38but it is suspicious that there are so many.
00:21:41It's like a white girl in Compton.
00:21:43You can be here, but bitch, what you doing here?
00:21:50You trying to gentrify, this is the underworld?
00:21:56You trying to gentrify hollow gray?
00:22:01You see that the Genari looks down and goes,
00:22:05smell blood in your veins.
00:22:09What gives?
00:22:10They sort of crowd around you.
00:22:13With those, with those,
00:22:15With five of them?
00:22:16There's five of them.
00:22:16And I can't do any more spells?
00:22:18You've used your last most powerful spell.
00:22:20And it was a one.
00:22:22You used your last most powerful spell.
00:22:24So the issue here is this, right?
00:22:26You can hear behind you the footsteps of Nyrith
00:22:30like leaving his shop to come to chase you.
00:22:33So you have a harder decision to make.
00:22:35Do you bail out and run away from these guards
00:22:38while they have that soul?
00:22:41Or do you stay and try to like negotiate with them
00:22:44and let Nyrith catch up to you?
00:22:46Okay, so let's just think with you
00:22:47because Nyrith is very powerful.
00:22:50He's not terribly fast.
00:22:51Is he fast?
00:22:51No, not fast.
00:22:52He's not fast, but if he gets here, he is powerful.
00:22:55So I felt like our options are,
00:22:56we try to intercept Kiki and fight her
00:22:59and take the soul.
00:23:00Is she a good fighter?
00:23:01We trained together.
00:23:02Kiki's just as good as I am.
00:23:03Okay, she's an incredible fighter.
00:23:04There are four of us.
00:23:05We can either try to fight these guards.
00:23:07They're huge.
00:23:08They're five and we are not lucky down here.
00:23:11You've also used a lot of your powerful magic already.
00:23:12You haven't had a chance to rest.
00:23:14It's not been an hour since your fight against-
00:23:16We need to rest.
00:23:17We need to rest.
00:23:18I think we have to cut our losses and just run.
00:23:21I fear.
00:23:22That's what I think.
00:23:23What do you all think?
00:23:24I don't think we can beat these trolls.
00:23:25We used so much magic.
00:23:27I used all the long bows on my arcane.
00:23:29I don't have any more power.
00:23:31So we got to just book it and run?
00:23:32We have to run.
00:23:33We just cut our losses.
00:23:34And we leave the soul?
00:23:35And then where do we go?
00:23:36Just outside and hang out?
00:23:38Drive it to the inn to rest.
00:23:40Yeah.
00:23:40And then just hope to try to find Kiki
00:23:42or intercept on her way here.
00:23:43Yeah.
00:23:45Okay.
00:23:46All right.
00:23:47I love that the guards are nice enough
00:23:48to let us confer with each other
00:23:49before they start attacking.
00:23:50Yeah.
00:23:51See, one of them says,
00:23:52hey, speak up.
00:23:53And you see another one says,
00:23:54let him have a minute.
00:23:57Let him have a minute.
00:23:58They're very nice.
00:23:59We're here to police the souls of the dead.
00:24:02Not be rude.
00:24:04Since they probably recognize your face,
00:24:05can you just ask them to let us go?
00:24:07We gave back the thing.
00:24:08You have it.
00:24:09You have the offense.
00:24:10Can we just go?
00:24:12You do realize also that if Nyarith gets his thing back,
00:24:14he'll probably stop chasing you as well.
00:24:16Is there anything you,
00:24:17are there any powers or?
00:24:18We don't have it anymore.
00:24:19Yeah, but the guards have it.
00:24:19Yeah, we're letting the guards have it.
00:24:21The guards are gonna give it back to him.
00:24:22And we're gonna ask.
00:24:23Or honestly, let them fight it out.
00:24:24Yeah, that's what I'm thinking is gonna happen.
00:24:25Yeah, because they won't probably want
00:24:26a soul too, for whatever.
00:24:28Are there any powers or abilities you use in this moment?
00:24:30Are you just gonna?
00:24:31Okay, I can.
00:24:32Okay.
00:24:32I can use my fog cloud.
00:24:34I can create a deep bank of concealing fog
00:24:38which will help us escape the clutches of these guards.
00:24:40Right, we're just gonna run again.
00:24:41Yes.
00:24:42Got it.
00:24:43Incredible.
00:24:44What does it look like as Troyann casts fog cloud?
00:24:45I begin to like, I open my gills up
00:24:47and I just begin to like hold my breath,
00:24:50but push out and it's creating vapor
00:24:52from the water condensation in my body,
00:24:54making a huge cloud.
00:24:57The mist billows in all directions from Troyann.
00:25:00Is this magical darkness?
00:25:01Yes, you can see in this, absolutely.
00:25:03So as this happens, all of you are fine.
00:25:05And you still have that pass without trace,
00:25:07so all of you are gonna roll stealth.
00:25:09Because of fog cloud, you're gonna roll with advantage.
00:25:12So roll twice, take the better of the two rolls.
00:25:14Rolling has not been our friend.
00:25:15No, not so far.
00:25:16Oh, I'm rolling two now?
00:25:17You're rolling two.
00:25:1819.
00:25:1819, okay.
00:25:19Sounds good.
00:25:20Yes.
00:25:21Gertie.
00:25:22Hell yeah.
00:25:24Okay, so ooh, okay, that's a 19.
00:25:28Plus 10, 29, plus five, 34.
00:25:32Okay, some truly mammoth rolls here, incredible.
00:25:34I have a three, Jesus.
00:25:36Roll again.
00:25:37Record.
00:25:38I'm not doing it on purpose.
00:25:39A 10.
00:25:44A 10, okay.
00:25:45Plus a three.
00:25:46Plus another 10, so 23.
00:25:47Plus another 10, so 23.
00:25:48Okay, and Alaska.
00:25:49I rolled a 13 plus a three.
00:25:5116, and then plus 10 from that is 26.
00:25:55Kerwin rolls a 28.
00:25:56All of you band together.
00:25:58The fog erupts and you flee to the shadows
00:26:01and make your way and can hear in the background
00:26:04as you rush through the alleyways of Hollowgrave,
00:26:06gentlemen, I think you'll find that the curio
00:26:07you've obtained actually belongs to,
00:26:09easy there, easy there, jackal face.
00:26:12And you see that there begins to appear
00:26:13like a little scuffle between the guards
00:26:15and Nyrith back there.
00:26:17We can see it or we just hear it.
00:26:18You just hear it.
00:26:19I mean, you can circle back to watch,
00:26:20but you don't even know where to go.
00:26:21Okay, we gotta go, okay.
00:26:22Curiosity, you got me there.
00:26:25I kind of like that.
00:26:26Curiosity to kill the witch.
00:26:26Well, Nyrith is kind of curious.
00:26:28The hour draws nigh.
00:26:29Like, you know that you have to go to Shalila.
00:26:31You're a soul short, which has never happened before,
00:26:34but it is what it is.
00:26:35Either you're gonna leave her waiting
00:26:37for maybe, you know, Kena to get here
00:26:40or you're gonna go talk to her,
00:26:41but either way, you know,
00:26:43the inn is sort of your last hope.
00:26:46So part of me thinks that we're at the inn.
00:26:48We are near water.
00:26:50Maybe we can catch her resting
00:26:52to recharge her amulet near the water
00:26:56and we can catch her maybe, but we have to rest.
00:26:58We know that we have to rest.
00:26:59Yeah, so I think that we,
00:27:01because we need to recharge our powers.
00:27:03I say we get to the inn, everyone gets some sleep,
00:27:06and then we can reconvene in the morning.
00:27:08How long has it been since we started this?
00:27:09There's no time here.
00:27:10When you were in the mortal world,
00:27:12you left Greely in the middle of the night,
00:27:14so it's probably been a couple hours of traveling.
00:27:17So it's like you've been hiking all night,
00:27:20have survived two combats,
00:27:22and now it's like past what would normally be dawn for you.
00:27:24Obviously, the underworld has no sun or moon,
00:27:27but for you, you've been awake probably
00:27:29for like 24 hours now.
00:27:31Work, so it is nighttime again upstairs.
00:27:34Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:27:36All right, we need to lay our asses down.
00:27:37Yeah, let's go to the inn.
00:27:38Walking into the inn of the empty glass,
00:27:41you see a number of sort of cobwebs
00:27:44all throughout this space, creaking wooden stairs.
00:27:47Everything, you realize the wood of this place
00:27:49is all made of coffin wood,
00:27:50and you see behind the bar are a number of bottles
00:27:54with different symbols and glyphs on them.
00:27:57The symbols seem to register
00:27:59different feelings or emotions.
00:28:01You remember Nyarath talking about happy memories,
00:28:05and you wonder if he doesn't take those memories
00:28:06and make them into whatever's in these bottles out here
00:28:10that the dead drink as they wait in this town.
00:28:14Looking behind the bar is a beautiful woman.
00:28:19She wears a sort of black leather corset.
00:28:22Her skin is pale white.
00:28:25She has long black hair that covers one eye,
00:28:28sort of those like fingerless black leather gloves.
00:28:31Cher. Cher, Cher, Cher's here.
00:28:35Troyan, you recognize this person.
00:28:36She smiles with blood red lips, two fangs extended.
00:28:40This is Damia.
00:28:41She is the vampire bartender here.
00:28:44She makes a really good margarita.
00:28:46I was assuming her Bloody Mary would be.
00:28:47Wouldn't it be a sangria?
00:28:50I was assuming the Bloody Mary
00:28:51would be kind of your specialty.
00:28:52That's what she gives you.
00:28:53You think it'd be the Bloody Mary.
00:28:53She's like, actually, I make a good margarita.
00:28:56Yeah, yeah.
00:28:57Exactly.
00:28:58She's like, it's too hack.
00:28:59Don't put me in a corner.
00:29:00I make a fucking great margarita.
00:29:02It's too hack to make the Bloody Mary.
00:29:03Getting the triple sec down here is a nightmare.
00:29:07So you see that she looks and says, Troyan.
00:29:11Hey, girl.
00:29:12I've been expecting you.
00:29:13She hops over the bar, gives you a cold embrace,
00:29:16but as warm as she can make it,
00:29:18and says, haven't seen you with company before.
00:29:21Everyone, welcome to the Inn of the Empty Glass.
00:29:25Can I help you?
00:29:26Our libations are not truly for the living,
00:29:28but we do have rooms for-
00:29:30Dee, that's what we need.
00:29:31We need rest.
00:29:33We have had a very long journey.
00:29:34We need to relax.
00:29:35She nods and says, absolutely.
00:29:38There's a room upstairs for you if you want.
00:29:39I should tell you, Shalila's out right now,
00:29:42but she's been waiting here all day.
00:29:44So if she comes back,
00:29:47should I tell her that you're here, or?
00:29:49No, speak not a word to anyone that I'm here.
00:29:52And by the way, can I have the suite?
00:29:55The suite?
00:29:57You can have the suite,
00:29:57but if someone comes and asks for it,
00:29:58I gotta sell it.
00:29:59That's fine, that's fine, that's fine.
00:30:00Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
00:30:01What if someone important asks for it?
00:30:02I don't wanna run into anyone else
00:30:04until I've had a full night's sleep.
00:30:05I'm exhausted.
00:30:07She shows you up to this suite,
00:30:09and as she opens it up,
00:30:10it has cryptic, lace, Victorian,
00:30:14kind of gothic ambiance.
00:30:15Huge canopy bed with kind of like funereal lace covering.
00:30:20What's her name again?
00:30:21Damia, it's-
00:30:22Damia.
00:30:22Damia Lovato.
00:30:23She's thing stranger in my house, Damia.
00:30:26Damia.
00:30:27Oh, Damia, no, no, it's different.
00:30:29There's a demon in my house.
00:30:31Now, I look at Damia,
00:30:32I know you don't hear this much here,
00:30:33but I'm living for this place.
00:30:34A little living humor.
00:30:40You see she smiles and says,
00:30:41hey, you know, I try to keep a classy establishment.
00:30:43A lot of the people that come in here
00:30:44are like dripping from eternal sores and stuff.
00:30:48I wish I had a better class of clientele,
00:30:50but now's the break, so what are you gonna do?
00:30:53So, suite is yours.
00:30:55I won't tell anyone you're here.
00:30:57I hope you enjoy the place.
00:30:58We have no food that doesn't turn to ash in your mouth,
00:31:01but you at least can rest here for a while,
00:31:03and I'll just say,
00:31:06and I know Troyann knows this,
00:31:08but the room is obviously free,
00:31:11and if any of you feel like you
00:31:14don't want all of your blood,
00:31:16or there's a little bit of your blood
00:31:17that you could do without,
00:31:19then that's for you to decide,
00:31:21and I'm not gonna be pushy about it,
00:31:22but it's just I don't get a chance to feed very often.
00:31:26How about some playing cards?
00:31:30We'll sleep on it.
00:31:31Sleep on it, sleep on it.
00:31:32Thank you.
00:31:34You see Damia goes to the door and goes like,
00:31:36and just sort of pauses and says,
00:31:38you know, some people say it feels really good,
00:31:39so something to think about.
00:31:41All right.
00:31:42Noted.
00:31:43Thank you.
00:31:43I have a question for you.
00:31:45Okay, does the herbalism kit,
00:31:47does this help heal us or does it speed up anything?
00:31:49Yes, you can speed up the healing process here for sure.
00:31:52And is this something I use for all of us,
00:31:53or is this like a?
00:31:54No, you can use it for all of you, yeah, absolutely.
00:31:55Okay, so I'm gonna,
00:31:56maybe so we don't have to sleep as long,
00:31:58so we don't want Kiki showing up in the middle of the night
00:32:00and we're just sitting here.
00:32:01We don't want Shalita to find out where we are,
00:32:03so I'm just gonna try to herbalism kit us
00:32:05to make sure we can just,
00:32:07instead of a full eight hours of sleep,
00:32:08maybe like, I don't know,
00:32:09like get it down to like-
00:32:1012 minutes?
00:32:11I don't know, let's realistic.
00:32:12Well, I guess it depends on what I roll, man.
00:32:13Yeah, let's make a roll, let's roll about it.
00:32:15So give me a d20 roll.
00:32:16You're gonna add a plus,
00:32:17I'm gonna say this is proficiency plus your intelligence,
00:32:20so this would be a plus seven.
00:32:21And I like the CBD, not the THC.
00:32:23Do you already know my roll?
00:32:24My intelligence is a plus four, then plus seven?
00:32:26Plus four, and then your proficiency bonus is plus three,
00:32:29so we're gonna add the four and the three to make a seven.
00:32:31Seven, okay.
00:32:32I'm trying to get us,
00:32:33see how quickly we can heal.
00:32:34Okay.
00:32:35Come on, 20, nat 20.
00:32:38It's a three.
00:32:39Again?
00:32:40However, I will point out that all of you
00:32:42have the ability to give the help action
00:32:44when you are in like downtime,
00:32:45when it's a little bit quieter.
00:32:47So if someone wants to help Gertrude,
00:32:49you'd actually be able to roll with advantage.
00:32:52Thank you, friend, thank you.
00:32:53All right, so go ahead and roll again.
00:32:54Thank you.
00:32:55Thank you, Twila.
00:32:56You're trying to sit on her thumbs.
00:32:59That's all I had to do to help.
00:33:0119!
00:33:0119!
00:33:0226, baby.
00:33:0326, woo!
00:33:05So Twila, so I think the way this help works out
00:33:08is you have some really powerful teas,
00:33:11different herbs, potions, tinctures, things like that,
00:33:13but as you begin to unpack your herbalism kit,
00:33:16you actually see that the underworld,
00:33:17that wind that's been like drinking at your life,
00:33:20you're all powerful adventurers,
00:33:22so you've been able to withstand it,
00:33:23but like the herbs and leaves in your kit
00:33:26have kind of like rotted a little bit,
00:33:29and I think Twila's help is like
00:33:32a little bit of your druidcraft.
00:33:33You can breathe some life back into those leaves.
00:33:37Aw.
00:33:38Aw.
00:33:41And all of you have this very powerful tea
00:33:43that actually does like fill your stomach
00:33:44and make you feel as though you have like,
00:33:47almost like you feel satiated as if you'd had a meal.
00:33:50So Gertrude's wearing like a boot up to the ankle.
00:33:52She kicks her shoes off.
00:33:53She goes over to the corner in the kitchen area,
00:33:55and she starts mixing up these teas,
00:33:57and she is exhausted.
00:33:58She has her hands on the counter.
00:33:59She is breathing heavy.
00:34:01She's avoiding eye contact
00:34:02because she's embarrassed herself
00:34:03several times on this journey,
00:34:06and she's hoping to herself that I just met these girls.
00:34:08Maybe if I give them this tea and help us speed up,
00:34:10I can get back in favor
00:34:11because I don't want them to not like me
00:34:12because I really want to be liked.
00:34:15So she's like mixing up her teas,
00:34:17and then she brings the drinks over,
00:34:18and she goes,
00:34:19hey, I got some tea for everyone.
00:34:22Here's a cup, a teacup for you.
00:34:23Thank you.
00:34:24A teacup for you.
00:34:25I'll put yours in a bucket.
00:34:28And they all sit down and drink their teas.
00:34:31You feel restored,
00:34:33and you see Kerwin kind of sad.
00:34:36Oh, where's Kerwin?
00:34:37Yeah, Kerwin's right here with all of you.
00:34:39This whole time?
00:34:39This whole time.
00:34:40Well, he wasn't fighting.
00:34:41Yeah, just said shit.
00:34:42See, he looks and goes,
00:34:45well, the tea looks awful good,
00:34:47but I suppose it wouldn't do a dead soul
00:34:49any good to have some.
00:34:53Well, I neither sleep nor rest.
00:34:57If you want me to watch guard out in the hallway
00:34:59while you're resting,
00:35:01skulk around town to keep an eye out,
00:35:03I can do that.
00:35:03Absolutely.
00:35:04Do you know Shalila?
00:35:06I know it well.
00:35:07If you see her, please tell us,
00:35:09and describe your cousin.
00:35:10So Kiki, she is kind of built like me,
00:35:13but except her skin is green as I'm blue,
00:35:16and she has long black hair,
00:35:18and she's a very fit warrior,
00:35:20so be careful if you see her.
00:35:21Well, I will keep myself ready.
00:35:26You see he steps out into the hallway,
00:35:28heads out.
00:35:29All of you have this time to rest,
00:35:32the howling winds of the underworld outside,
00:35:36enclosed in this suite here at the end of the empty glass,
00:35:39but within an hour of resting,
00:35:41you have the benefit of a full night's sleep.
00:35:44Woo, get that 19.
00:35:45Thank God.
00:35:46There we go.
00:35:47Not only do you have your spells
00:35:49and abilities back to full,
00:35:50but also that damage you took from the river is healed.
00:35:53Oh, great.
00:35:54You feel the tea restoring you,
00:35:56and there's this warm feeling of life,
00:35:59and stability, and a little bit of being centered
00:36:01here in this space.
00:36:03After an hour has passed,
00:36:05you hear a knock at the door.
00:36:09It's Kerwin.
00:36:11I've come back after exploring.
00:36:14There are guests downstairs.
00:36:17I found neither hide nor hair of your cousin,
00:36:20but Shalila waits with her entourage downstairs.
00:36:25She does not know you are here,
00:36:26but she is there.
00:36:28How many people in the entourage?
00:36:30Four.
00:36:31We cannot fight these people.
00:36:33I, you don't have to come in.
00:36:34You don't have to come in twice.
00:36:35Go out the window, up onto the roof,
00:36:36like a, you know, the sheets out the window,
00:36:39that kind of thing.
00:36:40Yeah, okay, you can fight.
00:36:41Could you pick us up?
00:36:42Yeah, well, I could pick us up,
00:36:44but couldn't we just do another pass without Trace?
00:36:46Well, you can't really, remember,
00:36:47you can't move a lot when you do the pass.
00:36:49You have to kind of like hide.
00:36:50Is that the thing?
00:36:51Yeah, so you have to be trying to hide,
00:36:52so you'd have to like sneak out another way, potentially.
00:36:55Okay.
00:36:56Which is possible to do.
00:36:57Kerwin speaks at the door and says,
00:37:00if you wish to avoid Shalila,
00:37:03I can make a distraction and try to get you some space,
00:37:08but without a soul to give,
00:37:14you will probably pay the price either way.
00:37:17We gotta, oh, wait, we gotta, we can't, okay.
00:37:19What if you just say, hey, I got six.
00:37:23Yeah, it's Shalila the type to be like,
00:37:26just get me next time.
00:37:28Our, our edge, edge, edge river.
00:37:32Ever deep.
00:37:32In ever deep, my mother has vowed
00:37:35to give seven souls per season.
00:37:37Can't show with any less.
00:37:38You had a whole season of-
00:37:39That's 28 souls a year.
00:37:41Ah!
00:37:43Great job, Twyla.
00:37:43That's a lot of souls, baby.
00:37:46She really mapping over here.
00:37:48Yeah, I was really good in math.
00:37:49I love that.
00:37:50So we cannot, I cannot show without less than seven.
00:37:55How do we get your cousin to come here?
00:37:57Maybe she's not coming.
00:37:58Maybe she's dead.
00:37:59Well, she, maybe she's already there.
00:38:00We don't know.
00:38:02We have to go get her.
00:38:03We have to find her.
00:38:04Okay, here's our other option.
00:38:05We're not going back to fight the Jekyll.
00:38:07He's, he whooped our ass.
00:38:08We're done with Jekyll.
00:38:10We're done.
00:38:11Although we have rested now.
00:38:11We're more powerful again.
00:38:13No, we're done with Jekyll, man.
00:38:15Yeah, so we have to, we, at this point-
00:38:17We're done with the Deku car.
00:38:18I mean.
00:38:20We have to go, that's what we,
00:38:21our only option is to find your cousin
00:38:23and get the soul from her.
00:38:24We literally have to.
00:38:25There's no, what other option do we have?
00:38:27Isn't she here?
00:38:28She's not here.
00:38:29We don't know where she is.
00:38:30We haven't seen her.
00:38:31Well, let's fucking find her.
00:38:32Do you wanna have a-
00:38:32Do you wanna do like some kind of whale call?
00:38:34Well, I do have a thing.
00:38:36I do have a thing, but doesn't she need to be there?
00:38:38It's the Hunter's Mark.
00:38:40Hunter's Mark is a power that lets you deal,
00:38:42you put it on someone and you deal more damage
00:38:44when you strike them.
00:38:45Okay, so that doesn't matter right now.
00:38:48I don't have anything that can help us do this.
00:38:50On the plus side, we are rested.
00:38:51We got that going for us.
00:38:51Kerwin at the door speaks up and says,
00:38:56there is a way for you to maybe buy some time, Troyanne.
00:39:05Shalila-
00:39:06Listening.
00:39:07Shalila is the servant of none other than Thanara.
00:39:12She reports directly to her, the goddess of death.
00:39:17When the souls are given to her,
00:39:18she will take them directly to her mistress.
00:39:21Her mistress, the goddess,
00:39:23will be able to tell instantly if a soul is worthy or not.
00:39:29But Shalila may not.
00:39:32It is possible that you could put a soul
00:39:34in the amulet for a time.
00:39:36And if you could somehow beat Shalila to Thanara's castle,
00:39:43the Tower of Tombs in the center of the underworld,
00:39:46you might buy yourself some time to find your cousin,
00:39:49find a worthy soul, something else like that.
00:39:53It's an option.
00:39:54So you're offering-
00:39:55Where are we gonna get a soul from?
00:39:57Him.
00:39:57He's dead, he has no soul.
00:39:59Twyla.
00:40:03All right.
00:40:05Honestly, I'll disguise myself as a soul.
00:40:08Here's the question.
00:40:09If one of us offers our soul,
00:40:13will we become undead in this moment?
00:40:15Your soul will be captured in the gem.
00:40:16You'll be fully captured in the gem.
00:40:18The whole thing.
00:40:19You're not walking around undead, you're in there.
00:40:21You are fully in there.
00:40:24How do I get out then?
00:40:25Well, don't sacrifice yourself yet.
00:40:28However, all of the dead wandering the streets
00:40:30of Holograve are themselves like spirits.
00:40:32They are souls.
00:40:33So you could go find someone on the street.
00:40:35What about Kerwin?
00:40:36Let's go.
00:40:37That's what I'm talking about.
00:40:38No, no, no, he's nice.
00:40:38This is a trap.
00:40:39Let's go just beat up, let's go find someone who's-
00:40:41Beat up, yeah.
00:40:42Who's doing no good.
00:40:43The true Gertie showing.
00:40:45Let's go kill someone.
00:40:47First of all, they're already dead.
00:40:49We gotta find someone who's up to no good.
00:40:50We should have kept Wallace.
00:40:53If we can get one of those guards by themselves,
00:40:55if we can find someone out there,
00:40:56there's gotta be some bad people down here.
00:40:58Someone deserves it.
00:41:00I'm sure they're attracted to faes.
00:41:02I can work my magic.
00:41:03We gotta get one.
00:41:04Kerwin looks around and gestures to a sort of
00:41:07small external staircase, almost like a fire escape
00:41:09at the back of the inn going down to the street
00:41:11that you could sneak out,
00:41:12grab somebody to stuff in that amulet
00:41:16and try to pass it off to Shalila
00:41:17to at least buy yourself some time.
00:41:20I mean, that sounds like a good option.
00:41:23Is there any chance that Demia can offer,
00:41:26if one of us lets her get a little blood,
00:41:28I don't even wanna know what happens when you do that.
00:41:31Can she help us with something?
00:41:32Well, do you think she'll let us?
00:41:34If we go get someone to get,
00:41:36oh no, but we're the only people with blood down here.
00:41:38She has the most blood because she's the tallest,
00:41:40so I volunteer.
00:41:41We could offer her some blood
00:41:42and she will lend us her soul for a moment.
00:41:46We can't promise she's gonna get it back,
00:41:47but we could ask.
00:41:48This is not fair.
00:41:49She has a business to run.
00:41:50We're asking, we're not demanding.
00:41:52She's a single mom who works three jobs.
00:41:54She loves her kids and she never stops.
00:41:59Kerwin runs down and a moment later comes up
00:42:01and you see Demia at the doorway saying,
00:42:03hey, Kerwin brought me up here.
00:42:04You know Shalila's downstairs, right?
00:42:06We know.
00:42:08Demia, hear us out.
00:42:10If we let you drink of one of us for blood,
00:42:14can you get us a soul?
00:42:16What, like a good one?
00:42:18It just has to be good enough for now.
00:42:20I got some souls.
00:42:23I mean, hopefully they did some charity work sometimes.
00:42:27I gotta, yeah, I'm trying to think of charity work.
00:42:31Would you consider someone who,
00:42:34there's a guy I have in a gym downstairs
00:42:36who had a thing in college where he stood on a sidewalk
00:42:39with a free hugs sign.
00:42:41Oh.
00:42:42I'll take it.
00:42:42That sounds sweet.
00:42:43It sounds like a double major of bullshit and bullshit.
00:42:46I'll go get free hugs guy.
00:42:49And I really appreciate the blood thing.
00:42:51Is there, is this something everyone's gonna get in on it,
00:42:54or just?
00:42:55Take as much as you want.
00:42:56Wait, if we give a little bit of all of ours,
00:42:57then it's not a big deal,
00:42:58because if it does do some damage, it probably will.
00:42:59But I can heal her.
00:43:00If we all do just a little bit,
00:43:02then it's not as big,
00:43:03because this could hurt her.
00:43:04So if we all do just a little, is that a thing?
00:43:06Yeah, Demia looks and says, no, no, no, no.
00:43:08It's just, you know, people, like a princess,
00:43:12a woman of your height and build
00:43:14can probably give a leader a completely comfortable lead.
00:43:17Her veins are the size of my neck.
00:43:19You're happy with a leader?
00:43:19Fine.
00:43:20I'd be happy with a drop.
00:43:21A leader is gonna do me.
00:43:22A leader, I just met her.
00:43:23She just said.
00:43:25Pop a vein, baby.
00:43:26Slap, slap them, mother.
00:43:30So at this point, Gertrude takes her backpack off
00:43:34and undoes the buckle and straps it around,
00:43:38straps it around Princess's arm to get a vein.
00:43:41I didn't know that you were a plumbop, Mrs. McGregor.
00:43:43Just pop it, I want, get the vein popping, honey.
00:43:46You see Demia starts like salivating blood
00:43:48and is like, I really appreciate this.
00:43:51She's like, she runs downstairs, comes back up with,
00:43:53it's like the other gem you saw was like pulsing red.
00:43:56This one's red, but you just see a guy
00:43:59who's like sort of scruffy,
00:44:01he's wearing like a stained sweatshirt
00:44:03and a cardboard sign that says free hugs
00:44:05inside of this little gem.
00:44:06This is me every December
00:44:07when I don't do drag for a month.
00:44:10Playing Fortnite on my phone.
00:44:13There's just huge Dave Matthews band energy
00:44:16emanating from the gem.
00:44:17And you see she hands the gem over to you, Troyanne,
00:44:22and you, it enters the amulet and the amulet glows.
00:44:26It is filled, even though one of the souls in it
00:44:27is not worthy.
00:44:29You see she goes, thank you so much for this.
00:44:32And then you got, do you,
00:44:34is everyone gonna stay in the room?
00:44:35We're gonna watch, we're gonna not watch.
00:44:36Do you want us to be here?
00:44:38I think we should.
00:44:39We'll turn our backs,
00:44:40but we'll give you a little bit of privacy,
00:44:41but we are here.
00:44:43I'm actually watching.
00:44:44Yeah, but we're turned on.
00:44:46I'm just, we're doing this.
00:44:47Dunia goes, and again,
00:44:49some people tell me this feels good.
00:44:52Fangs distended, she bites into your arm.
00:44:58See bits of blood draining down her chin.
00:45:01I'm a leader, don't get greedy.
00:45:04Go ahead and give me a constitution saving throw.
00:45:08Constitution.
00:45:09Okay, all right.
00:45:13Eight plus seven.
00:45:1615, a great roll.
00:45:17What does it feel like to Princess
00:45:18as this vampire like wraps her lips around your arm
00:45:21and begins to drink the blood out from your arm?
00:45:22What's going through Princess's mind?
00:45:24I think it does feel kind of good.
00:45:26She kind of likes pain.
00:45:28So it feels kind of weird and good.
00:45:31Yeah, there's this feeling of like,
00:45:32you can feel your heart rate kind of pick up
00:45:35as the blood goes through your arms.
00:45:37Dunia.
00:45:39And you can see her body like fills with power.
00:45:42Her eyes kind of shimmer for a second.
00:45:46It's been many years.
00:45:49Thank you.
00:45:51And that's royal blood, baby.
00:45:53This is sweeter.
00:45:54It's very special.
00:45:55And I don't know, if this is a casual thing to you,
00:46:00that's totally fine.
00:46:01But if you want to talk later,
00:46:03I don't want to put anything on you,
00:46:05but I feel very connected to people after.
00:46:07It's friends with benefits now.
00:46:09I'll see you around.
00:46:12Princess knows how to let him down easy.
00:46:15Yeah, I'll see you around.
00:46:16Obviously, obviously.
00:46:17And thank you.
00:46:17And thank you so much for that.
00:46:20Be normal.
00:46:20And you see she walks out of the room
00:46:22and Kerwin looks at you and says,
00:46:25as your uncle, that was strange for me to be in here.
00:46:29He's a woman now.
00:46:31I know you're an adult.
00:46:32You have your own life.
00:46:33But to me, you will always be that little girl.
00:46:35So, your full amulet.
00:46:38Friendly.
00:46:38Are you ready to go down there and?
00:46:40I say, let's go talk to Shalila.
00:46:42Is she friendly?
00:46:43Shalila is not friendly.
00:46:45Jesus.
00:46:46Is anyone here nice?
00:46:47I'm just worried that she gets upset
00:46:49by that amulet not being,
00:46:51the last soul being tainted.
00:46:52She doesn't know.
00:46:53She's a collector.
00:46:55Yes, she knows.
00:46:56No, she just said she doesn't know.
00:46:58Oh yeah, she won't be able to tell,
00:46:59but her mistress will be able to tell.
00:47:01Mistress?
00:47:02I'm not talking about mistress Shalila.
00:47:03But then she has to bring it to her.
00:47:04She brings it to her.
00:47:05So, the goddess of death,
00:47:06Thenar will be able to tell,
00:47:07but Shalila will hopefully be deceived.
00:47:09Thenar will be very upset.
00:47:11So, we have been able to buy ourselves some time.
00:47:14So, in the event that she takes it over,
00:47:16that Shalila takes it over to her,
00:47:17and by the time we get there,
00:47:18we're like, ha ha, just kidding.
00:47:20Sorry, I put the wrong one in there.
00:47:21I hate when that happens.
00:47:23Can I get that one back?
00:47:23And I'll give you this one.
00:47:24She'll be pretty chill.
00:47:25But we gotta, we just bought ourselves some time.
00:47:27Yeah, we did.
00:47:28Okay, so I head down.
00:47:29You head down.
00:47:30In the room down here,
00:47:31you see there are several suits of armor
00:47:34that within their visors,
00:47:35you see there are no bodies within them,
00:47:38but instead of pale, ghostly mist,
00:47:42there are two points of white light.
00:47:44The spirits of these dead knights
00:47:46animate their old armor that just stands,
00:47:49flanking a woman that sits at the main table
00:47:55in the common room.
00:47:56She has a black velvet gown with silver brocade,
00:48:00a long cloak that looks to be made of almost oil,
00:48:04a sheen of black fabric that flows like liquid.
00:48:08Her dark skin and her midnight black lips
00:48:13and two pure black eyes like sharks
00:48:17that shimmer with white light as she blinks.
00:48:20You see long, decorated silver braids cascades around her.
00:48:25And you see that she has sort of a
00:48:27almost Phantom of the Opera style,
00:48:28a partial mask that covers a half of her face.
00:48:31And you can see,
00:48:33peeking out from under the edge of the mask,
00:48:35a hint of death and rot.
00:48:39Tryann.
00:48:41I have been waiting here for some time.
00:48:43You are later than usual.
00:48:45And you come bearing strange company.
00:48:56We're in training.
00:48:58Give me a deception check.
00:48:59God damn it, why did I say anything?
00:49:01Why did I say anything?
00:49:03We're in training.
00:49:04I just rolled a nine plus a what?
00:49:07Is deception in here?
00:49:09Deception, I think it's plus five.
00:49:10Deception plus five.
00:49:11So I'm at a 14.
00:49:14You see she says,
00:49:16you're all training to be merfolk assassins.
00:49:23Incredible.
00:49:24Well, I don't know what's going on up
00:49:26in the world of the living and I don't care to know.
00:49:29But you are very late.
00:49:31Do you have your souls?
00:49:32My sincerest apologies.
00:49:34Yes, I do.
00:49:36I reach down and tie the satchel and hand it over.
00:49:40She takes it.
00:49:43Seven souls, very well done.
00:49:45Drops it in a bag.
00:49:48So I suppose you are all learning
00:49:50to make this trek yourselves.
00:49:53If you are working on Tryann's behalf,
00:49:56you will know me as Shalila of the Half Mask.
00:50:00I am a servant of these realms
00:50:03and tend to the collection of these souls.
00:50:07How very odd to see you all here.
00:50:10What of your journey now?
00:50:12I presume you will return to the realms above.
00:50:17I'm afraid to speak.
00:50:21Am I speaking for herself?
00:50:22I ain't got nothing to say.
00:50:23Fuck, Ross, you're afraid.
00:50:25It's your friend, your colleague.
00:50:26You know her.
00:50:27Yeah, so they came to get to help me
00:50:31to show them what it is to be an expert assassin
00:50:34to get all the souls.
00:50:35Now we're just gonna head back home
00:50:37and we have a game night we're planning for.
00:50:40Playing a new game in Valhalla.
00:50:44Calporta.
00:50:44Calporta.
00:50:45Valhalla.
00:50:46Yeah, called Dungeons and Dragons.
00:50:47We're gonna go play that tonight.
00:50:49Oh.
00:50:50How many people can play?
00:50:52Four.
00:50:53A hundred.
00:50:54Four hundred?
00:50:55Stop!
00:50:56Stop!
00:50:57Because we're the only one.
00:50:57You see, Shalila says,
00:50:59oh, because I love board games.
00:51:02Oh.
00:51:03What?
00:51:03Twyla.
00:51:06She's been in the whole army.
00:51:08That's fine.
00:51:09Four hundred.
00:51:11Jesus.
00:51:12I have 395 close friends.
00:51:15All you gotta do is disguise yourself as the game
00:51:17and then we're gonna be left to fight by ourselves.
00:51:21That's so fun.
00:51:22So how do you play?
00:51:23Is it sort of like a collaborative thing?
00:51:25Are you all playing against the game?
00:51:27We actually, we have to rush back.
00:51:28As you know, her mother is a real,
00:51:31is a real harpy.
00:51:32Oh, yes.
00:51:34Well, of course, anyone who had made a deal
00:51:36to live forever would be.
00:51:38Oh, this is.
00:51:40What?
00:51:41Of what do you speak, my mother?
00:51:43I'm going to need everyone here to make an insight check.
00:51:50I have a nine.
00:51:5214.
00:51:5214.
00:51:53You got lucky hands.
00:51:54I have a 16.
00:51:5516.
00:51:56Nine.
00:51:57We're both at nine.
00:51:58Yeah.
00:51:59So, as you say, what do you mean?
00:52:00You see she looks at you
00:52:01and you immediately see a look of concern on her face.
00:52:06She looks at you.
00:52:07Surely I do not say anything
00:52:09that you are not already aware of.
00:52:11I do not know of this deal with my mother that you speak.
00:52:15Who do you make such a deal with?
00:52:17With my mistress, the goddess, the Nara.
00:52:2128 souls a year.
00:52:23These souls, you're doing this just to keep your mom alive.
00:52:26No.
00:52:27You've been doing all of this work
00:52:29to keep your mother alive.
00:52:31Did you know this?
00:52:32We have been doing all this work to keep her alive.
00:52:35I just started this week.
00:52:36I'm a trainee.
00:52:37Do you know about this?
00:52:38I did not know of this.
00:52:40You didn't?
00:52:41No.
00:52:42So you thought you were just going out
00:52:43collecting 28 souls a year.
00:52:44Your mother told you this was to save Everdeen.
00:52:46Everdeen.
00:52:47Your mama's a liar.
00:52:49It's just to save her.
00:52:50Uh-huh.
00:52:51What a self-centered person.
00:52:53Well, I don't want to start throwing...
00:52:54She's still her mother, huh?
00:52:56Let's be respectful.
00:52:57Don't talk about my mother like that.
00:52:58Baby.
00:52:59You're disguising yourself as a person
00:53:00who thinks before they speak.
00:53:02I'm disguising myself as an expert on self-centered people.
00:53:06She sounds like an alcoholic.
00:53:08Yeah!
00:53:11Well, we can all agree,
00:53:11there are some character flaws with Troyann's mom.
00:53:14We can agree there's a few characters.
00:53:16She's a liar.
00:53:17I'm not trying to take her inventory.
00:53:18We would all love it.
00:53:19I'll take her inventory for her.
00:53:23You see that Shalila looks at you and says,
00:53:26I would have thought,
00:53:28I'm sorry if this is news to you.
00:53:30Perhaps I am betraying some secret
00:53:33that I swore to my goddess,
00:53:35but she never mentioned me to keep it secret.
00:53:37I thought you would have known
00:53:38given what happened to your father.
00:53:41What happened to my father?
00:53:43Did you see him recently in a...
00:53:45You remember seeing him in the river
00:53:46and saying they lied to you.
00:53:48And you see she says,
00:53:49well, who do you think had this job before you?
00:53:54And who do you think
00:53:57paid the price when he discovered?
00:54:00Shalila, did our father have a job before her?
00:54:02I think so.
00:54:03And then because he didn't do it,
00:54:04well, they killed him.
00:54:05Yes.
00:54:05Because he was short probably one time.
00:54:06He probably had 27 souls one year.
00:54:09Wait, so we think that maybe your dad used to do this
00:54:12and then he...
00:54:13Because he was short one time,
00:54:14this happened to him.
00:54:15But he said they lied to you.
00:54:17And also my father could not swim.
00:54:19Who's they?
00:54:20He can't swim at all?
00:54:20He was an elephant.
00:54:21Your mom can't walk, so where they meet?
00:54:23On the sand.
00:54:24Oh, at the shore.
00:54:26They met at the beach.
00:54:28He was fishing.
00:54:29Got it, got it, got it.
00:54:30Oh my gosh.
00:54:32So my father was killed
00:54:35for not having enough souls for you and the mistress.
00:54:41I believe it was a little more complicated than that.
00:54:43Wait, don't I have like a mind reading spell or something?
00:54:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:46Can I get in this lady's head?
00:54:47Because she's being very cagey.
00:54:49She is being very cagey.
00:54:50If you wanna cast detect thoughts,
00:54:51you cast this spell.
00:54:53You see Shalila, she is caught off guard in this moment
00:54:57because she feels like she's maybe spilled the beans
00:54:58on something that she wasn't supposed to know
00:55:00or wasn't supposed to tell you
00:55:01or assume that you knew.
00:55:03You see in Shalila's head this idea
00:55:05that the deal was obvious to the entire family of Everdeep
00:55:09and that when her father had failed
00:55:11that his death was understood to be a failure.
00:55:15However, you gain extra information, not from Shalila,
00:55:19but from these deathly knights that surround her
00:55:21that are so ancient that they actually witnessed
00:55:25what happened.
00:55:27A memory that all of them are reliving in this moment
00:55:30and you see Trojan's father, Roy of Karkin,
00:55:34an ancient forest, an elven archer,
00:55:37and you see the memory that they have in this moment
00:55:41is of Roy standing on a platform, floating an empty void,
00:55:47looking up, and you see for the first time
00:55:51in their memory a face of her.
00:55:57She is 18 feet tall, a giant, long horns,
00:56:04gray-purple skin and gleaming bronze attire her,
00:56:08a beautiful goddess of death,
00:56:11long wings as of a bat or dragon spread from her back.
00:56:17She gazes down imperiously.
00:56:19You see the sorrowful eyes of this beautiful elven man
00:56:24looking up.
00:56:28I'm sorry, Mistress of the Underworld.
00:56:33I did not know.
00:56:35I thought only that I was saving Everdeep, these people.
00:56:41Everdeep, these people.
00:56:44I did not know the deal
00:56:47that the Queen of Everdeep had struck
00:56:49and now I feel I have doomed all these souls to your pit
00:56:54for a cause I no longer can say is true or just.
00:57:00And you see that the goddess Thanara looks and says,
00:57:05what then would you do knowing what your actions have caused?
00:57:13I would ask, Mistress, that you let them free.
00:57:18And what would you pay to right the wrongs I've done?
00:57:24Everything.
00:57:26She says, a worthy price.
00:57:29She points a finger and you see he says,
00:57:32but wait, before I go, can you tell my daughter?
00:57:35And a spell.
00:57:39Roy dies, having given his soul to free the souls
00:57:44that he had brought here over long years of service.
00:57:50You see that memory, Gertrude,
00:57:52and in this memory that you see,
00:57:54even though you are reading the minds of these knights,
00:57:57the magic shifts somehow.
00:57:59In this memory, you see the goddess of death.
00:58:03Swallow that soul, Troyann's father.
00:58:07And then even in a memory that you are reading with a spell,
00:58:10she goes,
00:58:17looking for me, Gertrude.
00:58:21Then Gertrude immediately bolts out of there
00:58:25and she's like trying to get out of this memory
00:58:28and she grabs the hand of the goddess
00:58:30and she goes, we have to leave right now.
00:58:33And then we throw her out the door, can we do that?
00:58:35You can run right out the door.
00:58:36So where, where are we going?
00:58:37Shalila goes, thanks for doing business.
00:58:39I'll try to be a board game knight if I can.
00:58:42Where are we going, Gertie?
00:58:43Okay, I just want to get away from Shalila for a second.
00:58:47I don't know, okay.
00:58:47What did you see, tell us.
00:58:49Okay, I'm thinking to myself,
00:58:51I'm thinking this in my head,
00:58:52you all can't hear this thought,
00:58:53because I'm thinking to myself,
00:58:54like if I tell her this, Troyann this,
00:58:56how much will this upset her?
00:58:58Will this make her,
00:58:59or she already doesn't like her mom anyway.
00:59:02And she thinks that her dad was killed,
00:59:04but she didn't know that he nobly gave his own life
00:59:06to return all the souls.
00:59:09Should I tell her?
00:59:10Yes.
00:59:11Or should I just be like, it's nothing and just keep going?
00:59:13You tell her.
00:59:14But you don't, you can't hear me thinking to myself.
00:59:16Well, I can hear you.
00:59:17You think I should tell her?
00:59:18I think you should be, I can hear you.
00:59:19You think I should tell her?
00:59:20I think you should tell her.
00:59:21I think it's, wouldn't you want to know?
00:59:23Well, it depends on what it is, by the way.
00:59:25Well, I mean.
00:59:26She just found out her whole life's a lie.
00:59:27Well, I mean, but, but.
00:59:29She's in the dirty business.
00:59:30I think it's better to just hit her
00:59:32with all the wounds today than to wait
00:59:36and let her know later, right?
00:59:37Good idea, Gigi B.
00:59:38Now.
00:59:39I'd be a great parent.
00:59:41Troyann.
00:59:42Yeah, what'd you see?
00:59:43One of the guards was there the night
00:59:46that your father lost his soul.
00:59:48He wasn't killed in battle.
00:59:50He gave his soul.
00:59:52For what?
00:59:53He gave his soul to restore the lives and the souls
00:59:56of all the people that he had killed
00:59:58after years and years collecting over a hundred souls.
01:00:02So he gave his life to the, he gave his life to.
01:00:05Sanara.
01:00:06Sanara.
01:00:07Sanara.
01:00:08He gave his life to her
01:00:09and he was trying to send a message to you.
01:00:11He wanted to say something to you before he could.
01:00:13She didn't care to hear it.
01:00:14She just sucked it up.
01:00:15And then she ate his soul.
01:00:17And then I swear to God, she looked at me.
01:00:20Like, I know she looked at me.
01:00:23So I think that she knows how I look now.
01:00:26Hey, which is very unnerving.
01:00:28But she is ruthless.
01:00:29Was she intercepting your thought
01:00:31of the memory that she was seeing?
01:00:32She was just, it's like, normally I'm just like in the area
01:00:35but it was like, I was there.
01:00:36I was a person in the room.
01:00:38She looked straight at me and she didn't look happy.
01:00:41She didn't.
01:00:42It was not, it wasn't like, hey girl.
01:00:44It was nefarious, this look.
01:00:47I can't believe this.
01:00:48So is my mother liar.
01:00:49She lied.
01:00:51And your dad found out.
01:00:54He fuck around and he found out.
01:00:55He fucks around and he found out, honey.
01:00:59And I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this.
01:01:01It's better you than Twyla.
01:01:03Why did you put this stuff up?
01:01:09I would have at least texted it to you, girl.
01:01:11Twyla would have been like, your daddy dead
01:01:12and your mama lied.
01:01:14Your mama's a liar.
01:01:15Lying alcoholic, daddy dead and dead.
01:01:19Baby.
01:01:20All of you stand sort of here on the street
01:01:23having divulged this.
01:01:24You see Shalila and those death knights,
01:01:27those are armored knights.
01:01:28She has her soul.
01:01:29She's heading off deeper into the underworld.
01:01:31You see Kerwin standing out here with you saying,
01:01:35well, your business is done, Trojan.
01:01:40But as we all well know, your true business
01:01:44brought you here for other reasons.
01:01:46Reasons I'm not quite sure of myself.
01:01:49But if there are boons you wish
01:01:56from her mistress of death,
01:02:02Shalila is the one headed after her.
01:02:04So do we go back and confront your mom?
01:02:07That could take a very long time.
01:02:09Also, I have a feeling if we go back and confront your mom
01:02:11and then D'Lea finds out that she doesn't have the soul,
01:02:15we're fighting your mom,
01:02:16we're fighting all the merfolk
01:02:18and we're fighting her at the same time.
01:02:19This is a lot.
01:02:20We probably should just keep turning on.
01:02:21I think keep turning on.
01:02:23What do you guys think?
01:02:24We have to like confront Fanara, don't we?
01:02:28I feel like that is what we have to do.
01:02:29Because you have business with her.
01:02:31Yes, I do.
01:02:32And kind of so do all of us.
01:02:34As you look out at Shalila traveling there,
01:02:38you see in the direction that she's traveling,
01:02:40Twyla and Princess, both of you look out there
01:02:44and see far off in the mountains,
01:02:46a flash of red lightning, crimson storm clouds gather.
01:02:55Twyla, you've seen these once before.
01:02:57And Princess, you seem to recall that red glow in the sky
01:03:04over the fire that took your family's home.
01:03:08Both of you stop for a moment
01:03:11and you look around through Holograve
01:03:14and all these places here.
01:03:17As Shalila travels out across the wasteland,
01:03:20you see that the expanse, far from being untouched,
01:03:25is filled with thousands of footprints.
01:03:29And you suddenly realize the armies of Zarya Hex
01:03:33have passed through this way.
01:03:36A lot of them.
01:03:36Headed to the Tower of Tombs,
01:03:38the home of the Goddess of Death.
01:03:41So we're gonna get there.
01:03:42She's there, her army's there, Shalila's there.
01:03:45She's not nice.
01:03:47I have a sneaking suspicion that my mother
01:03:49will have something to do with this.
01:03:50You think she's there?
01:03:51Maybe she's in a wagon.
01:03:53She's dug a trench.
01:03:54Yeah, maybe.
01:03:55Kerwin looks at the rest of you and says,
01:03:58for better or worse, all roads seem to lead
01:04:02to the Tower of Tombs and the Mistress of the Underworld.
01:04:06We're rested, let's head off to the Tower.
01:04:08Let's go.
01:04:09We got to.
01:04:11He sort of shoulders his sword,
01:04:12puts an arm around his niece,
01:04:14and you see that standing in the doorway,
01:04:15Demia smiles and says,
01:04:18best of luck on your journey.
01:04:19I'll keep an eye out for that cousin of yours
01:04:20if she shows up.
01:04:22And it was really lovely to meet you,
01:04:25and I did feel, I felt a strong connection.
01:04:27I don't know if you did or not.
01:04:30We gotta go.
01:04:31Right, no, of course, obviously.
01:04:35And when I said strong connection,
01:04:37I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
01:04:39So, great, thank you for your business.
01:04:42Bye, Demia, blood to see you.
01:04:44Oh, blood to see you.
01:04:46That's fun.
01:04:46Yeah.
01:04:49She walks in.
01:04:50It feels like if you flirt with this vampire,
01:04:53we might have an extra person.
01:04:56How was she?
01:04:57The vampire come up with us.
01:04:58She must have gone to the hotel.
01:05:00She, girl, dead people don't need to sleep.
01:05:04The hotel literally is only here for the alive people.
01:05:07We'll keep going.
01:05:09There's only four that come down once in a while.
01:05:12We're gonna pimp out our orc friend.
01:05:14Yeah.
01:05:17And the four of you head off on the trail
01:05:21of Shalila and her four death knight guardians.
01:05:25As red clouds gather overhead,
01:05:27crimson lightning strikes,
01:05:30and in the distance you see it raised aloft
01:05:34the tower of tombs.
01:05:37And that's all for this episode of Dimension 20.
01:05:40Tune in next week as we venture
01:05:42to the lair of the goddess of death.
01:05:45I miss Anne.
01:05:46I do.
01:05:52The Underworld has always been a dismal place,
01:05:54but of late, it has grown darker still.
01:05:57And now we just have to continue the journey.
01:06:00Strange appetites of the goddess Thanara.
01:06:03Y'all don't really think Thanara would leave the throne
01:06:05just to go for a walk?
01:06:06I don't know her.
01:06:07No.
01:06:08Maybe she's been locked up for seven days,
01:06:10she's getting over a cold,
01:06:11and she's get 30 minutes a day to walk around.
01:06:14There's a small chance we could ask.
01:06:18It's true that you no longer care
01:06:20to uphold the deal your mother struck,
01:06:23but you do know that the goddess of the Underworld
01:06:25is expecting seven souls.
01:06:27Why don't we beat up Shalila
01:06:28and take her metal guides and use them,
01:06:30or befriend her?
01:06:32The jackal guy.
01:06:33I would love to revisit him.
01:06:34I do, I would too.
01:06:35Welcome to Nyriss, unreal.
01:06:38Before you do, don't.
01:06:41So hey.
01:06:43What could await you?
01:06:44The Tower of Tombs.
01:06:45One seed of the old blossom yet lives.
01:06:49Mina.
01:06:51You know.
01:06:52Wait, what?
01:06:53Yeah, that's a little fishy.
01:06:55What is she doing here?
01:06:56This is crazy.
01:06:57I think we're all gonna die.
01:06:59Bingo.
01:06:59What?
01:07:00What do we have to fight?
01:07:01Girl, you okay?
01:07:02I'm scared.
01:07:03Oh my God.
01:07:04Wait, wait, wait.
01:07:05Ah!
01:07:06Wait, wait, wait.
01:07:07Whoa!
01:07:08Ah!
01:07:09Oh, wait.
01:07:10We're in a world of trouble.
01:07:11The time has come.
01:07:14And you literally-
01:07:15That's very triggering to drag race girls.
01:07:16The time has come.
01:07:17I know.
01:07:18And I did not stretch today.
