Once Upon a Witchlight | Ep. 69 | Nice

Welcome to Legends of Aventress! Torback's name is Torback and you're listening to Once Upon a Witchlight. Here's what happened last time. Last time on Once Upon a Witchlight, you found yourselves deep in the performance of a lifetime outperforming as the Ruby Island players you executed the theatrical brilliance of Brody Snake S. Snake in his debut as scriptwriter for Motherhorn in a performance of Le Coulomb Rouge, gaining yourselves the favor of Bitter End. You have been awarded quite a few things with this. The dress rehearsals for her opening night should be happening the very next day and you have gained yourselves primary box seating with Bitter End herself. You're supposed to get through the whole thing before we paid attention to him. You did it! I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. I was smiling with my pro. Oh shit! And I was like, I'm just not gonna pay any attention and then I see Richelg like he's about to cry laughing. So I'm like, oh this is actually a horror TV. That was me. I could admit when it's me. Well, it was you. Yes, you have earned yourselves box seat viewing for the, not just the dress rehearsal that will be happening tomorrow night Also, for the grand opening that will be happening the night after, after being ushered out of the auditorium, you were finally able to meet Hurley and find out that he's choosing to be here. But you were tasked with sending a message back to Burley, letting him know that he left on his own accord and there's no bad blood between siblings. Before, yeah, yeah, because of, you know, puking. That seems hurling. Yeah, hurling. It's hurling. You then made your way into the, into the area for the best performers, which is filled with a bunch of very sorrowful people, but it is here that you finally met the snake that you have been waiting for, Brody, snake-as-snake, the only child to the snake family. And quite frankly, he's a little shit, but. Yeah, but. Yeah. Most theater kids are. So really, what were you expecting? Oh, you were taking in. I was gonna, I was readying to say nice, and I don't feel like saying that now. I don't feel like saying nice at all. I don't want to say it. Get him. So funny. But it is here that you find yourselves with, well, no longer with Brody, snake-as-snake, who has just recently left the room, a copy of his script on the table in front of you that he'd just been working on. He was disappointed in this script. It was not the masterpiece that LeCruelon Rouge was with the line, dookie-dicky. No, this is something completely different. Oh, yes. That could have stayed. That's me. That could have stayed. You could have stayed. I think you had to bring it to the episode 69. I'd have the 31. Dookie-dicky must return. It is not the masterpiece that was Dookie-dicky. No, this is something different. This is script for opening night. And there is something particular about it that Bitter End is asking for. And Brody's not happy about it, but you have, through your conversation with him, made him both happy and angry, and you mentioned to him that you could help him finish his script. He doesn't want to look at it again. And after your performance earlier in the day, he trusts that you might have what it takes to take the rubbish that he's written and raise it to Dookie-dicky levels. It is because of this that he chooses to leave the room to go get his star player, Glister, the elf that has been locked away in a cell. He has gone to fetch her and bring her back so that you can communicate with her about what is going to happen in the script and what to expect. But for now, you all stand in this room looking down at the script written by Brody, Snake as Snake. And you have, you imagine about 15, 20 minutes or so to plan out exactly how you expect to sabotage this play. I estimate that we have perhaps 15 or 20 minutes before anyone returns. Perhaps we should figure out how to sabotage this play. Go, go, do your thing, hurry. Oh, we've got 15 to 20 minutes before it goes back. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay. I'm gonna grab the script. Yeah. And I wanna say, oh, what should we say? You roll an investigation check for me. Oh, are we not alone in the room? No, all of the crying theater kids are still hanging out along the edges, but they're not hanging each other. Yeah, they were not hanging. They're all looking into mirrors. They are, they're, no, exactly. They're all self-absorbing. Keep it a game, you guys. Keep it a game, you guys. Keep it a game. The kids are taking it. A lot of strays. They're all self-absorbed, and they're not paying any attention to you because they are the main character right now. And so you just need to focus on also being the main character. Just joking, of course. Okay. Oh, man, oh, once upon a time. Oh, did you give me your... Oh, I was in the 18. You pick up the script, and you see that it is significantly lighter than LaCruel en Rouge. There is not as much substance. But as you're reading through it, it is significantly more well-written. This is an actual tale of tragedy. It's the story of two sisters pulled apart by a wicked witch. And the ending of it is the death of one of the sisters in front of the other. And you can see very clearly that this is Endelin's story of Gleam and Glister. Expected to play out on the stage, and that Glister is expected to stand there at the end and mourn the loss of her dead sister. It is tragic, but it is beautifully written. Not a single dickie can be found in the pages of this script. No, is it? It's hard to understand why Brody wouldn't be happy with this. Hey. We're gonna feel like the answer's obvious, man, but I don't wanna say it because I think you're naturally gonna get there in about five seconds. Oh, yes, of course. I was just testing you, Gideon. That's it, he fast. I was just saying, well, oh, good question, Tobak. Well, let us see where Gideon, let's see if you pass. Well, all right, well, I was so, I was testing you. You were gonna say that, well, just like in the hear, she loves tragedies. So the easy answer is you change the ending. The sisters end up in room 40s. Top day, and that's a good idea again. Wow, thank God, like, you got a good idea, man. Oh, Gideon. No, he never would have come up with that. I believe you have passed. Let's add a time travel subplot. No, no, no. You didn't say you'd make it funny. I didn't probably add subplot. Okay, a time travel subplot. Oh, we gotta add a wise cracking sidekick. Oh, that'll be hilarious and play well with the children. Ages four to nine. Oh, that'll test really well. Okay, what should the, what should like the sidekick be? Like a wise cracking, like, like a, like a, Gotta be an animal for a while. Some kind of like, Yeah, well, yeah, what about like a lemavos by Andy Richter? What do you think? Say some kind of like that in that vein. Andy Richter hasn't really been funny for a while. Not a lemavos. I think it's perfect. No. Okay, you go. Tracey, come on. How about like a, like a, like a, like a mole or something. Oh, I mean, it doesn't matter. It just needs to not be a tragedy. I mean, why can't we just change the end and have it be a happy ending? And then that way snake, a snake junior will be numb the wise until we get to the end. You know, he's not proven reading it. Certainly not to the end. I gotta read all of it. He's gonna read the first act. Okay, I'm on the red track. So the wise cracking, I feel like we really got something here. Perhaps the wise cracking sidekick should perhaps be set up to be a major villain in the third act, but they never go anywhere with it and they just throw it away. Frustrated. Jesus, that's what Tom Travel will come in. Okay. I'll just want to remind everyone we're supposed to be ruining this thing. It sounds like we're coming dangerous and close to a masterpiece. Okay, wait a minute. You just have to think about how pissed Endel would be if everyone was laughing at the end instead of horrified and crying. Oh, yeah, absolutely. We got to change it into a comedy. I'm just saying you put in a little Tom Travel and throw away a critical plot hole, but you're gonna end up with one. Yo, yo, piece the masses with that plot hole. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Wait a minute. You beat the end game, mate. Geez. Hold on, hold on. Why does your noose say lowest common denominator? I got it. The wise cracking sidekick, Oly the Ocelot. Oh, boy, this is gonna make a lot of electron pieces. Wait a minute. You mean with those little hands? Yeah, they got those little hands. Mm-hmm. Ah. Nice. Okay, but, there's a lot of climbing around the six since they're like sloth-like creatures, right? Yeah, something like that. The problem is, is that you have to pay attention to know what's going on. What? So why don't we take every about 15 minutes, they will explain what they're feeling and thinking what's going on to remind them that they were distracting. Okay, okay. And then Oly Ocelot is gonna have like a catchphrase, like, oh, coconut. What about coconuts? Oh, they got me in the coconuts, not again. He says it like an expletive. Oh, coconut. Coconut, and the last thing. Ah, it's frosting, you're pretty good at this. And then the last thing he says is D's coconuts. Oh my gosh. That's pretty good. Oh, yeah, yeah. What was the title of this again? If there is, it's a work in progress, this is a working title. Oh, man, okay. And then at the end. The working title should be the title. And then at the end, there'll be a big dance number, and then the villain will be in jail, and they'll hear the music, and they'll be frowning and falling into their arms, and they'll say, oh, who am I kidding? And then they'll join in the dance at the end. If you can't beat them, join them. Yeah, exactly right, exactly right. You guys are so talented. Anything else? Tom Travel Plot, okay? And you're writing this on the script itself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm annotating as people throwing out ideas. Should the ocelot have like a thick New York accent if he's gonna use coconuts like a, like a. Explodive. Explodive. Oh, thank you. What would that sound like? Oh, God. Oh, that sound like. Oh, you're welcome. Do you need someone to play the ocelot? No, I'm not thinking like, eh, old coconuts. You know, it's kind of like Monkey Bone Star and Brandon Frazier, you know what I'm talking about? No, I never saw that. It wasn't one of my VHs. It wasn't very good. Wait, we do need a roll on the ocelot, yeah. Can you make a convincing ocelot? Me? Um, my, it's that weird monkey thing with hands, right? Yeah, give us a, oh, coconuts. Oh, coconuts. Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah. Perfect, you're high. It's one of a monkey, it's a sloth, I think. Yeah. Do I need to fall asleep on Q? I'm very good at falling asleep on Q. No, you better not fall asleep on Q. Do I need to cry on Q? That's the audience, no, no, there's no crying on Q. There's nobody crying. Well, I'm very good at crying on Q. Everyone's smiling. And we gotta have, oh. Do I get a battle on my own? I cannot wait to enjoy the refreshing crisp taste of Pepsi while I work on my Dell laptop. And pause this photo, take it with my Sony camera. Take it with my Sony camera. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you sure it should be Dell or should it be the one with the cow print on the box? I think Gateway died like eight years ago. I've been quiet. I'm very old, I'm very old. Oh, and then they all get to go to like a beautiful tropical resort because all the actors want to pay vacation with a tax ride off. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Wait, and the cameras only take codec film. Oh, oh. Okay. Oh, oh, hello, Ocelot here. Have you thought about adding a baby that ages too rapidly and then an adult man that falls in love with her in infancy? Who would do that? We're not taking any more notes at this time. It's good, thank you. And done, okay. What a six suggestion. God. Oh, and we need a title for this masterpiece. Oh. I still think working title is a perfect title for it. Oh, it's very avant-garde. If you're a person here. A working title. But it's better working with two Vs instead of a W. Oh, two. Working. Working with an apostrophe. Vavvorkan. Yeah, it's already been Vavvorkan. Vavvvorkan. That's perfect. That's perfect. But what if we spell title with an extra T-I-E-S in it? Mm-hmm. Wait. Working titties late. I think he's gone too far. Working. Yeah, let's roll that one back. Vavvorkan title. Vavvorkan title seems correct. Done, submitted. Oh, should you sign all those annotations, Brody Snagas Snakes, so he thinks he did it? Oh, fuck. No one can be that stupid, right? You can mimic his handwriting, right? Maybe Frosch would do that part. Oh, Frosch, come on. All right. I endeavor to agree. Roll this light of hand for me to see how well you want. Actually, no. Do a performance to see how well you're able to. Frosch, you just remember you're gonna have to use your tail to sign to mimic his pen strength. 15. No, I would say for anyone who's looking really closely, you can see that there are discrepancies, but for most people, looking at it, it would look like Brody Snagas Snake made all of these changes himself. Did you have an intention for the song as the musical number at the end here? Oh, I was freaking more like crazy. I see the beat. We've already done that. We've already done that one. We need something else. Oh, Ocelot here. What about Anaconda? Oh, would I take any notes at this time? Oh, we got it. We need a final number. My Anaconda. Probably, I like Big Butch and I cannot lie. And the kids will love that. Yeah, with the Anaconda one. Yeah, because it's the biggest snake. You know, you imagine. Let me all start singing. I like Big Butch. And Repraza. Ooh, what about Lou Begas, Mumble Number Five? Classy. I've already written this on the script. You want me to do it? I want to do it. I never used to scratch it out. I never used to scratch it out. That's a roll of performance. I get a four. Yeah, you attempt to scratch it out and you rip the page, taking off a little bit of it, a little bit of the words, and you realize that the ending, which was this monologue as you went into what was Anaconda slash. The monologue was very touching. It was very obvious. I like Big Butch. I like Big Butch and I cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny. When a girl walks in with an A-bay waist and a round thing in your face, you get sprung. Okay. This is just correct. Sneak kind of makes sense. Oh, you know, guys, terrific turn of the game might be on to something. We might be producering this whole thing. We might be in real trouble. I think we've actually made something good. No, no, it's too late. No, she'll hate it. The point is that she'll feel shamed and embarrassed. It'd be great. As long as it's not a tragedy. That's the point. Well, how do we feel? I feel pretty good about this. The only question is, surely they're gonna have a dress rehearsal. How do we, won't she stop this before it goes to production? Awful out here. Did you get another copy of the script? We've got five or six over here. We've been learning lines. Oh yeah, hold on. Yeah, give me all the rest of those. All of them? I can't get them. We ain't holding them right now. Well, we've distributed some to the rest of the cash. Should I? Get round them all up. Round them all up. We gotta do that. We gotta do that. We gotta go. So all of the actors in the room jump too and they pass out five or six scripts over to you and they are all pristine copies of the original script as they rush out to collect the rest of the script. Wait, Hustle Lot here, wait. Hustle Lot, oh, what a great name for me. Yeah, we just wanna make sure that you know that this is a big surprise and not to tell anyone it's a secret. Yes, we're doing something a little avant garde. Your role is a super secret special role. Yes. You've been blasted. You'll need to roll with the punches, I think. Oh, a persuasion check. I'm helping, I'm helping. Okay, that advantage you say? Yeah. Oh no, I don't wanna look at that. Nice. Deception? Persuasion. Persuasion, that's a 17 to start. A seven, so we're with a 17 with advantage. I mean, why, I had the lead in my school play. It would make sense, I would be the one that was picked for this. Oh, your talent is just so obvious. My mother was threatened by my talent. Which is why we had a falling out. You know, you don't need to hear about it. No, no, no. That was probably the coolest thing that's happened in your life at this point. This is the coolest thing. Good. And you picked, you picked well. I will keep your secret. Thank you. Oh, thank you very much. And I will make sure to get you those scripts. I'll think you're gonna be a big star in this business. And I get my own standing ovation as the hustle on. Am I a hussy hustle on? They'll be sitting down, but they'll be. If you want me. No, no. Like nipple tassels in the room. No, no, no. Don't make things we should let her do. No, no, no, no, no. And don't make sinking. What's she doing? I have a pair of edible indies. Wow. They make us. No, no, no. She's not flat. So she'll need six tassels. And it'll be, well, it's but hustle on. Guys, for me, things everybody's be hasty. I'm just saying, I am a method actress. Yeah. And if I'm going to hussy myself about it, I need to get started now. Well, whatever inspires you. No. No. No, you're a weird, Marcus Law thing. And you are a beloved, very marked market about the merchandise of those sites. Small grippy hands. I don't want you to underestimate what little hands can do. And then she turns around and leaves the room. Whoa. Two of these players are fathers. They know how to write. We take the remaining scripts. We'll need some time with these. It is as she leaves that the door is stopped by a hand. Long, elvish fingers. And you hear the sounds of metal or stone. It sounds like both and neither at the same time. As you hear the slithering sounds of Brody Snake-S Snake as he makes his way into the room followed by an elf that looks exactly like Glean. And at first you immediately think, oh my gosh, it gleams here. What is she doing here? But you realize that the mask that was on Gleam's face, the moon mask, is replaced here by the mask of a sun. But otherwise, everything else about this elf looks exactly the same as she uses two manacled hands to hold the door open for Brody as he slithers in. She follows behind and closes the door. You're now in this room alone with Brody and Glister. She says nothing to any of you. She keeps her eyes down on the floor as she follows Brody to his desk. And he looks around, looking for his script. He begins to move this way and that. His little snake tongue darting out of his mouth as he rifles through papers and moves quills about, knocks a book onto the floor. His tail comes up around. He starts moving things around. Where'd it go? Where'd my script go? Oh, I have all the copies here. I will produce one of the un-eltered scripts. Oh, god, I'm sorry. I'm just making sure that they're consistent. I know that you put some notes in the margins and I want to make sure that that's all good and consistent. No, you're right, I did put notes in them. How am I gonna have time? My tail is exhausted. How am I gonna have time to... Brody, just relax. I have a good... Piece of shit script. Handwriting and I would be happy to put the notes in there, copy them all for the actors and make sure that they're consistent from script to script. Can you pass one to Glista? She's gonna be the main star of this operation. Hey, fellas. I think that's sister Glista. It looks just like Liam, you think? They said it, but I think he said her name was Glista. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but like, that's the Glista. Yeah, why she got medical? You watch as she gets down onto the ground in a squatting position and then she moves one leg over the other one and she's like contortioned into a position where her legs are over her shoulders as she moves back against the wall and just sits there not paying attention to anybody. Oh, no, I see it. Yeah, that's Glista. What do they do, miss lady? Hello. Oh, I'm gonna continue to work in the scripts and as I'm doing it, it looks like I'm copying the notes that Grico made from one script to the other, but what I'm actually doing is making minor subtle changes from script to script so that none of them actually contain a source of truth. They will be consistently and embarrassingly inconsistent. Perfect. As you're doing this, Brody will slither up to you. Did he say you're gonna do all the changes to me so I don't have to worry about it? I wanna make sure that the changes that are in the final script here are consistent from script to script. Would you mind if I went over to my wicker basket and just took a quick nap? I think that you should. You've done a tremendous job. I haven't slept in 15 days. That's torture level. I think you should go to sleep right away. Yeah, I think it might be why I'm such an asshole or the fact that I'm a theater kid. I remember not sleeping that long for a period of time. Yes, it was traumatic. I think you should sleep right away. Well, can you just make sure that nothing happens and he motions his tail over to Glister with that when she's a prisoner of bit end. If anything would happen to her, it would be all of our heads. Yes, we'll make sure she's safe. Yeah, absolutely. Enjoy your wicker basket. All right, and he's gonna scoot on over to a wicker basket, coil around it, and then he's gonna almost comically cartoonish, leap up into the air and jump down into it, slither into a circle, and then immediately if snakes could snore, you would hear that. Vee-vee-vee-vee-vee-vee. Vee-vee-vee-vee-vee-vee-vee-vee-vee-vee-vee. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Let's do this. Yeah, let's go to bed. Oh, you don't have to whisper. He can sleep through anything. Especially after 15 days. Hey, I got homemade spaghetti over here. Oh. Vee-vee-vee-vee-vee-vee-vee. Oh, he's not. Yeah. You weren't joking. Yeah, I mean, you wouldn't respond to that after a month's spaghetti. Exactly right. His palms are sweaty if he had palms. Well, Glister, heck, I mean, we're, we know your sister. I think we're here to help you out. She's looking for you. Yeah, and she's safe. She's back at a... Is this some kind of joke? Obans. You know, Oban? Do you know Oban? Please, don't joke. I haven't seen Gleam in so long. How long has it been? Yeah. I've seen the script, and I think, I think she's dead. I think that bitter end has concocted this entire scheme just to throw her lifeless body at my feet. Do we look like we would joke with you? We have spoken with Gleam. We, we, we, we, she's not far from you. You said, unironically, dookie-dicky, an hour ago. Yes. Yes, all that. And you saw me earnestly present that line as an actor on a stage performing a work of fiction. It was in a script. It was only persuasion check at advantage. That's pretty good for us, Plane. I mean, that was a lot. I'm, I'm wired. Natural 20. Oh! Oh! Natural 20, folks. No, you're right. I can't imagine that performing that script earnestly, it would have been easy. You, you mean it, then. You, you've seen Gleam. She's all right. She's... No, she's fine. No, she's, she's staying out at all. And she does not have her. We just saw her not like a couple hours ago. A couple hours ago. She's in that, that horsey house. Yeah, the, at the pony house. The horsey, the horsey house. Maybe she's never seen the pony house. Yes, just before arriving here. Just before arriving here, we stayed inside of a small house that was atop the back of a pony or donkey. And a guy died in that house. Oh, he died outside of the house. Touching my name. It's a little fuzzy, you know. It was crazy. Not fuzzy for Griggo. Oh, no, for good. No, no. That's strange. It's shins and halts. I see his face when I close my eyes. The bleeding. Griggo's face will never leave. Griggo's mom always said it's shins and halts. You know, here we are. Yeah. We're getting off to happen. I was saying, from Griggo's haunted shins, everything we told you was true. Well, they dropped me this. So he doesn't have haunted shins. No, he got haunted shins. I think he believes he has haunted shins. We all believe he has haunted shins. I'm always sad it would happen. At least she's safe. Well, how come you haven't tried to break out of here? I mean, there's what she's just like right there through the changing room. And then there's a tunnel there. And what's keeping you here? She raises her arms up and you see the manacles in the light. I want you to roll a perception check at advantage. Or investigation, whichever perception or investigation. She raises the manacles up and they catch the light. There's almost this beautiful rainbow iridescence that moves across them for a second. They're a really darkened color. And, well, Endlin would never allow me to leave, of course. After Gleam made her way out, there was no way she was going to risk losing me, too. She must do whatever she can to keep us apart. I got a 10. Twist it. Twist it. Yeah, for sure. Twist it. I got a pretty good plus impression. Yeah. There we go. Okay, 21. 21. As she's saying this, you're listening to her talk about how Gleam was able to escape and it absolutely infuriated Endlin. She enjoyed having the both of them there and tormenting them and keeping them apart, watching their suffering. And having one of them best her was miserable for her. And so she has punished Glister, keeping her locked up in a cell. These special manacles attached to her wrist, manacles that were made specifically for her by the architect. And you look at them. And you immediately begin to register some things about them. The Fangerineering for Dummies really coming in clutch in this moment as you look at these and you realize that... They put pictures in there. That you have seen that hue before, that dark purple, almost blackish color, but shining in it almost like a nebula, almost like a rainbow of holographic and iridescent light. And you realize that these manacles are carved out of corrupted wish stones. Oh. Interesting. Oh, yeah, those things. And you, looking at them, you can see 100%, you would know how to break them, how to unlock them. But you also know from your time with the Brighanocs that there are only the Brighanoc weapons that are able to damage these stones. I don't have the tools on hand. You don't have the tools on hand. But I'll say with the 21, she mentioned that it was, they were crafted by the architect. And that reminds you of what may he rest in peace. Obed had mentioned to you that Golmo had been stolen and is being housed in Mother Harms. Oh, his name? Golmo? Golmo. And if you could find... Oh, his backup. He's like number two. Exactly. You were, your hopes were to free him and sent him back to Brighanoc mine to act as leader. If you could find him and he had tools on him, which you would imagine he would if he was able to make these manacles, you would be able to free Glister. We know he's here. Oh, you need to tell us that again. Oh, yeah. Well, shit, I mean, these things, these are made of, guys, these are made of wish stones. It looks like these were forged by a, well, I don't know. You remember that guy who was second to Obed who came here? Golmo. Right, a cold horse. Golmo. Oh, Golmo. He was free in there. Hey, no. He was Obed's dying wish that we helped out Golmo. God, I know you never loved that. I had the feeling that. You're not even going to get a dang old thing Obed said. No, we're not. I'm going to have to get such a fake wish. I'm going to change that Golmo will also die in your feet. Oh, no. Please don't, Pat. Him, he's so mean. No, no, no. There ain't no connoisseur. No, no, we never would hurt anybody. I can't... Ross checked on Obed like multiple times. We thought, I mean, it was shocking when he found him. Yes, I thought he was dead multiple times and he turned out to be alive until he wasn't. That is how it works. We didn't cause it. It just happened right on top of Grico. Yes, it happened out of nowhere even though he was very old. Well, listen, I mean, the important thing is, I mean, I think I've been studying up on this Faye engineering stuff. I think I could get these manacles off. I think I could figure it out, but the only thing that can break open wish stone is some holes, man. I don't have any kind of extra vomit. Is Golmo here? Is he nearby? Yes, he's downstairs in Lantern. I cannot... I'm trying to say that I have the map. I cannot express to you the blood oath that I've made to ensure that Golmo is notified and is made safe. You're actually considering freeing me from these. We're not considering. We have fixed it. Why wouldn't we? We told Gleam we'd get you out of here. We've already made a promise. We're here to do that. Well, we're here to do a lot of things, but... We're here to do that among other things. I wanted nothing more than my freedom. Nothing more. It would mean everything to me to be reunited with my sister, but I cannot allow you to risk your lives doing something like this without knowing everything I know. The danger that comes along with this. There's a reason that Endelin's keeping us apart, and if you free us, if you free me and send me to Gleam and she finds out, she will be angrier than you could ever imagine. What do you know about Endelin? We know a few things. We've met her and we've had our own dealings with her. She's got a better end. I know that much. And that is exactly what she's afraid of. We've met many of her victims. And her sisters. She has a library upstairs. Okay. Shortly before Gleam escaped, we were... Well, I was tasked with cleaning the library, and I found on the top of one of the highest shelves a dusty old tome. Nice. I didn't realize that bitter end keeps journals. And in this one, she talked about some of her greatest fears. Her greatest being her demise. She's this mechanical entity. There's a nod entity. There's this mechanical contraption at the very height of Motherhorn. It is...it's an aury. She calls it the aury of tragedies. It's a fortune telling device. And she utilizes the lightning within Yon to power this thing. And she goes there every night after the shows and watches the scene of her impending demise. And it always comes to her via an eclipse. And if you've met my sister, then you know that she's the moon to my son. She fears that the two of us coming together would be the metaphorical manifestation of that eclipse. And that the two of us would bring about her demise. Thus, she kept us apart and tormented us for as long as she possibly could. You would be essentially bringing her demise to her doorstep. And for that, it would be treachery. It would be treason. She would never forgive you. You must know this before you choose to do this. There were a few other things that I read before she found that I had discovered this journal. I'm very curious to hear. We were both of us punished. That was the triggering moment that led Gleam to want to escape seeing me punished in such a way. Some of the visions that Bit-Ende had in her ori were strange. She's not known for her fear. She creates fear. She doesn't possess fear. She wrote in this journal over and over and over again of a wooden doll, a wooden puppet, a wooden marionette. One that she could not control that if it came into contact with her ori would cause untold troubles for her. Troubles, I say. She, yes, troubles. You see, since then, since the moment of this vision, she has created countless wicked dolls, puppets and marionettes. And she says that her plan is to create an army to fight off her sisters. But that is a lie. Her journal said otherwise. She has them stored here in case that wretched thing, as she called it, were to find its way into Motherhorn. This army of dolls could protect her ori from the chaotic one she cannot control, the one she is so afraid of. She dreams of a blue rose bush. Fear is all she can feel when she wakes. And then lastly, not only fears is not something you generally see from bitter end, but shame, regret and heartbreak. She writes of recurring visions of a garden filled with purple roses in the feeling of shame, regret and heartbreak. I'm not sure what any of it means, but if you're going to do this, if you're going to risk her ire in this way to free me, it wouldn't be honorable of me to not tell you everything I know. It is indeed honorable for you to share this information with us. Thank you for divulging the contents of these diaries. That's very helpful. Just to be sure, do I feel like she's telling the truth? Roll an insight check. Twisted if it's not dead. I twisted it. That's three U's. 18. I would say she is very clearly bearing her soul to you. You've traveled with Gleam for quite a bit and this is her twin sister. And it is you at this point can almost pick up on her tells. You can see the genuineness on her face, the way that she is speaking and the way and her body movements. There's nothing about the things that she's telling you would lead you to believe that she is trying to pull an over on you. So where can we find Gormo? Oh, that's easy. So Gormo's downstairs. You know, you said that you were in the costume and prop storage room. Yes, right outside of that room there's this large open area where you would see many folks about making things. Oh, there's the elevator that rises moderate sized props up to the theater floor. Right in the middle. Gormo's right next to it. He's held trapped locked inside a lantern where he's forced to just ride out. Schematics over and over and over again at Endelden's wishes. We could simply go see him, but there's no way to get him out. Not unless any of you are handy with a lock pick. Well, let me check my proficientness. Not me. If you'll remember from episode one of Call of the Baywild. I certainly do. It wasn't in the stream, but it was in the stream. But you're really good at cartography. It was a long, long time ago. I think no matter what that might be arranged, I think we should all go together. What do you think? I think that is a capital idea. Yeah, I'm glad to just walk around here as long as... No, but if... And please, be as gentle as you can, but if you were to treat me rudely and you were to toss me about as if I was your prisoner and you were enacting Endelden's plans, no one would be any the wiser. You, as far as I've heard, are the talk of motherhorn, your bitter end's prized possessions. Well, I mean, instead of us being all nice to you, why don't we just go get Gommo and bring him here? Do you need to come with us? Well, if Gommo's downstairs and we can do this... No, I guess that's fair. You could go... You'd have to bring the lantern and... Yeah, that's... It's just a lantern. Please, how old could that be? We can go downstairs, we can spring him, bring him back here, and he can do his thing on you and then you could maybe just... Well, you'd have to... ...help her for us if anybody shows up in this room. You'd have to have a reason as to why you're taking Gommo's lantern. Oh, well, come on, we have a reason. Don't worry. Well, Torbac's afraid of the dark. That's true. Yeah. Well, it's good as plan... a good plan as any, I guess. And we've got to make custom props, account for last minute rewrites and reshoots. Oh, you could... you need the lantern for the rewrites. Exactly right, the rewrites and the reshoots. You are so smart. Yeah, we are a little over budget, but the folks in finance so we could do a little bit of tax trickery and it'll all be out in the world, shall we? You shouldn't do tax trickery. Oh, that's how the entire industry works. I operate. That's the whole point. Mr. Cramby always says we have a moral duty to not pay our taxes. Colin can't reach us either, but... I'm pretty sure that's why we're here. Oh, that's right. Well, I'm going to take a seat there next to Brody, snake-a-snake, and I'll wait for you here then, but you'll come back, right? You're not tricking me. No, we promise to be back. We'll pick that lock easy. I guarantee it. Alright. Well? Alright, fellas, let's go. We'll see you soon. Okay. I can't take a fucking lock. I don't have the tuple. You make your way out of the room and through the back area of the stage, eventually making your way towards the rickety elevator that's medium to small-sized props and performers right up on mid-performance to make their way onto the stage for scene changes and things, all the while having this conversation, but you are making your way down into here. Yes, yes. Presumably we don't have to. I mean, even if she's in their manacles, we could technically deliver her to her sister without picking the lock. It's not... It's wish-stone manacles, man. We can't get... It's crazy magic. It's crazy magic manacles. My point is leave them on and get her out of here. What if she can't leave if she's wearing them? I would say from your understanding of the Fey manacles and Fey engineering, it is very clear that with them on, she is locked to motherhood. She physically can't leave because she can't leave. Yeah, her family dormus is much like a year and a half ago in life. Yeah, well get the lantern. It won't be a problem. We'll figure it out and we'll bring it back to her. But there's something far more important that Torbek's been thinking about and Frost, Torbek needs you to check Torbek, okay? If she can see the future and she went through all these steps to try to prevent it, but she still sees the future. What's the point in changing anything? Also, do you think Torbek can find out the exact date and cause of his own death? I can't answer the first question, but almost certainly yes. You can find out the cause and date of your own death. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Sweet. And you know, just because you can see a possible future doesn't give you full power. Mjolnjko Globo always used to tell me, oh, you know, Greco, prophecy is like a treacherous woman. It'll bite your prick off every time. Oh, you're a cow now. That's what he always said about his prophetic visions. Before all of the power, he couldn't save himself. How about that? One of the chances. Leaving me poor, cousin of Grobulus, without a father. Anyway. But he rests in peace. Whatever happened to him. He made me found. It was not their plan. Hey, Derek, do you mind not nudge our cameras a little bit? Just a little faster. Just a little. Just a little. Just a little. So, fellas, while we're walking. What's going on right there, this boy? I feel like I have to be the one to confront Dolmo and let him know. No, this is your thing. This is your desk. Yeah. We want interference. Well, we're global. We're proud. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We got to get him out first, and then you do all the talking. Yeah. Yeah. The elevator is rickety as you're making your way down into the underbelly of motherhorn. You know, he always used to say, oh, don't mess around with magic. Magic is like, using magic is like wielding a sword with no hilt. He was very wise, that Uncle Grobo. Oh, wow. I never listened to him. Yeah, he literally turned into other animals. Yeah. That's pretty magic. I use a lot of magic on him. You're like the most magical. Well, I guess Frost is kind of very magical. Frost is very magical. You would argue that it's not magic. Oh, well, we don't need that. We don't have to talk about that. We don't have to talk about that. Oh, boom. Is that going to work? No, go some more. We walk past Hugh Jackman inside of a chamber drowning. We say nothing about it as we approach the boat. Yeah, you walk past the huge yak man that's inside a chamber drowning. And you actually walk around the elevator platform that you had descended upon. And you're immediately able to see on the opposite side that hanging from a hook against the elevator platform is this beautiful lantern. And inside of it, as you look into it, you see it's this amber glass. And inside there's a small drafting table. There are papers all over the floor. There's a tiny bed off in the corner. There are other little lanterns periodically throughout this that are illuminating the light. There's a roaring hearth on one side. And there's a tiny, elderly brigannoc. And he is sitting at the drafting table furiously writing. He's got really large glasses. They're like the bottle cap glasses that make his eyes huge, frizzy white hair as he is pulling little quills out of his hair in different colors to write things down. He'll stick it back in, pull out another one, write something else, stick it back in. And he's got an incredibly large eraser. It looks like the erasers that were on human children's pencils, the little pyramidal ones. The ones that you actually stick on. Yeah, that you actually stick on. It looks to be a human-sized one that he keeps picking up with both hands and erasing things and putting it back down on the ground. I turn to Griggo. Now, Griggo, do you want us to lower the lantern or should one of us lift you up in order to engage Gullmog? Oh my gosh, fantastic performance. A woman walks up to you wearing a beautiful green elaborate dress, flouncing bustle on the back, a small goblin man in a velvet embroidered vest, hugging two or skirts. You're just the talk of the show. Oh, well, thank you. Oh, thank you. It was nothing. Ruby Island plans are just to us, not to Shadi, but to Madel's. To you, it was the greatest performance of that you've ever seen to us. It was a Tuesday. I'm sure you remember me from earlier, but I am Charmé. I am the queen of the theater. I am the darling of drama. We've heard of your reputation. Of course you have, of course. Everyone will not stop talking about you. We hear you at the star of the show, by the actress. Yes, I have let them all know not to bother you. You don't want to bother the celebrities. That would be unbecoming of the rest of the theater crew. Will you be performing in the Vulcan title? I've seen, well, yes, I've seen the front page of the script, but I was told by an oscelot. Yes. Wearing aslas chaps and nipple castles. Yes, so it's not understood. And a cateau nine palettes. That's a costume? Man, Torbac is so excited for this. Well, anyway, I heard from her that bitter end has requested that none of us look at the script until right before the performance. She's testing our theatrical ability, and of course, I'm not going to teach something like that. She will know I am the best she has ever had. But I just wanted to stop celebrity to celebrity and let you know that I have asked the beyonds to leave you be. Should you need anything, come straight to me. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate the hospitality. Well, I'm very busy. I have much to do, much to do. Absolutely. Do take care of yourself and make sure your well-being is your priority. I mean, we say you're looking very charming this evening. Very beautiful. Would you say that I'm looking young? Oh, you look so young. Like, how old are you? Are you here for your 21st birthday? I'm stopping you. I used to think I knew what young was, and then I saw you. She reaches out and she grabs your hand. She's holding onto it gently. You are just delicious, actually. Oh, but I'm busy. I'm very busy. Have a good evening, and should you need anything? Shall I make? I have a private suite. Next, down the hall from yours. Thank you. Cool. Okay, wow. Gosh. Toodaloo! And she looks towards, she looks towards Gulmo, and you see her face pinch up. Oh, filthy thing. And walks away. What did she just say? Guys, was that like an official invite or like, you know, when someone slides you to their hotel key, directs you to this guy. That seemed like a … She didn't know that was the question. No man, the question was was it an invite? Yeah, it seemed like an invitation. You guys were smooth operating. Yeah. That was impressive. No, that whole 21 thing, I thought. I mean, that was good. That's just an easy thing. I'm not sure. Classic performer, she's trying to size this up and, you know, assess the competition. I would say that with your just natural sleaziness. Oh yeah. That you could easily see that she was, she was, she was pissed that you guys showed up to mother horn and immediately got the things that you want, things that she's wanted for a while. She's been through a lot. And this was unlike the Charmé that you originally met when you got here. And you were immediately able to tell that she's trying to get into your good graces to write your coattails. Man. She was so nauseous and genuine, Mr. Crimmie. I don't trust the things she says. I have expertise in the sleaze skill, but believe it or not, I can fucking sniff her out of it. Expertise in sleaze. Expertise in sleaze. That's right. That should be a teacher. What are you saying? What I'm saying is I think she's trying to, you know, get nice and close to us so that we can elevate her to stop. She's trying to use us. That's exactly right. Torbic can work with that. No one's going to use us. I never knew about women like that. Look, frankly, Torbic always hopes she was right. I don't really give a fuck, right? At the end of the day, we're going to do what we need to do. Get the hell out of here, right? Exactly. That's what she does here. Even if we have to meddle with powers beyond our comprehension. You do notice, though, as you look around, that everyone else is giving you a wide berth, though they do look at you occasionally and they look at you with awe and appreciation. Nobody makes any move to come towards you. They are leaving UB, but they do seem to be watching. Should you need assistance or should you need something? What Charmé had to say to you was, it was true, she did set up the place to give you space. You feel in this moment as you look around, that you could easily just take Gomo and walk off with him and not a single person is going to stop you. So she was networking. She was networking. She left this cart in my hand. It's one of those vertical ones. Oh, it's a dot. Oh, man, it's perfect to start with one of those. Well, should we just grab this and head back upstairs? I feel like to just bring this whole lantern. Why not? He was just bringing me here. I mean, he's like, he's like, where's the leprechauns? Let's just grab him. Yeah, but we are, we're not going to get used for fame, right? What we're going to do with must be done. Who gives a shit? Everything over there. I'm not going to be any pain after like two or three days. No. There's two populations of people that want to burn this place to the ground. I don't make motherhoods last long, you know. I guess we'll do what we must. Torbac, grab the lantern. No, no, no. Torbac shouldn't grab the lantern. He has a strong desire to shake it around flying. I'll take the lantern. Yeah, well, yeah. All right, I'm going to. Okay, just let me have it. You move the lantern and you immediately see Gomo's desk slide to the side. The paper is flying this way and that. He kind of sinks his shoulders down and he watches, he gets up and he scoots the desk back into the middle. He doesn't pay attention to what's going on outside the lantern, but you watch as he scoots the desk into the middle, starts to pick up his papers. He looks around for, for some of his quills that he was using. His glasses have fallen on the floor. He's patting around. He finds them, puts them back on and then eventually sits back down and starts writing again. But as you're moving, it's jostling this way and that. You see he's sliding all over this thing. Well, I'll grab it and just drop it to Grico's elevations or probably like at least 12 feet down from. From where? Yeah. Get on. I love it. A couple inches. A couple inches. Gomo? Is that Gomo? Is that you? We don't need to have this conversation here. We can take the lantern and walk back and forth. He said, hey, he's doing something. I'll do it. He's doing something. Let him fucking do something, man. He's doing something. I would say he doesn't seem like he can hear you. Gomo. Yeah, break him out, don't we? Oh, that's pretty good. You could try knocking. No, no, do not tap on the glass. They have those scientists. No, no, perhaps it's required. He has a briggin' knock. Do we? No, no, no. That's okay. That's okay. That was a pretty good one. No, no, no, holding the lantern. Perhaps as I was bringing it down to Grico's level, at least sub-12 feet, do I get any kind of sense of how it's secure? If it seems like it opens easily? Is it pertinent to fey engineering? I would say yet again, it's a piece of fey engineering. This is a fairly simple lantern, but I will say what you could say, I don't even make you roll for it, because this isn't something super... super special like the manacles are. It just appears to be a simple lantern that's been turned into a house for him. It is magic. You can feel the gentle humming of the magic that surrounds this thing. But it has one of... it has a door that's closed, where you would normally be able to open it and put candles or whatever you need to in there. It's very clearly locked, but you imagine it could be just simply locked picked to let him out, but it's hard to tell whether the reason he can't hear you is because the glass is so thick that the sound's not getting through if his hearing is bad, or if he's just so focused he doesn't notice what's going on around him because he has to work with tons of theater kids screaming and... Yeah. and theatering all day long every day. He may have plugged his ears. We shouldn't do this here. Look at where we are. Maybe it's one of those things. Maybe you gotta walk into the lantern, man, and talk to him inside the lantern. Oh, you thought the house. Like the house? Like the house getting that fucking lantern, Griggo? I think I could probably open this if I don't know. Alright, if Griggo gets in there tour, then definitely shouldn't be within our rooms. Okay. I'm gonna do me best. Then you're doing this down in the theater room? I think that's what we're doing. I'm gonna think I'll do this as a mouse. I'm gonna start shrinking as I turn into a mouse. I said, hey, God, just do me. Oh, well, so will you. Just do me. I just watched him transform and I still know that he's Griggo. Still me, guys. Don't worry. I'm mistaken, boy. He's doing it with the road in, though. I mean, shouldn't even do it with the other one. Still me. God, I have one. That's so cruel. Stop it, Michael. Stop it. Quit from us, the uni's of fate. I crushed the mouse's mind with my head. I'm standing on my hind legs. I do a little bit of this. I kind of like push my ears back. I'm just looking back at my hair. And I'll take my cool, my cool, like, steward little hat and I'll hold it in my hand. He's got a cute little red coat. And I'll walk up and I'll knock on the lantern. You knock on the lantern. You immediately see Gomo sit upright. As he begins to look around, he turns towards the door, adjusts his spectacles on his face. His eyes are huge behind the glass. As he looks at you, and you see just a look of pure confusion. Hello? Are you Gomo? Hello, sir. Hello, sir. Are you Gomo? What are you out there squeaking for? Hello, sir. Are you Gomo? I don't speak mouth. I'm here. I'm speaking in the common tongue. I'm a 2024 dreamer. So I'm speaking in the common tongue right now. Yep, no squeaking here. Just a little offensive to mask. Speak up! Hello, sir. May I come in? Can I come in? There's a rat out in the first station in this place. As soon as I hear Gomo, I crush the lantern like an empty tall boy. Just underneath my foot, I just crush it. You attempt to. But the spike on the top just goes straight through your shoes and your butt. I hold that guy whole alone. It's miserable. Oh my God. I'm not actually a mouse. I mean, currently I'm pleasantly in my mouth, but I'm actually a goblin. You watch as he presses his ear up against the glass. I am not. I'm looking like a mouse on technically a goblin. You want some cheese! Oh, well, I mean, you got cheese? I don't know what he's trying to tell you. I wouldn't say no to some cheese if you got it. Do you have the plague? What? Do I have what? The plague! What's the plague? I don't know what a plague is, sir. What was he trying to say? Sir, do you know... Oh, he's got a broken finger, that poor guy! Do you... I still can't get a mouse pause right. Open the door. Can you please open the door so we might have a nice conversation? You're looking eye to eye at the door, staring into a lock on the outside of the lantern. Well, I've seen this work in cartoons. Let me give it a shot. I turn around and I stick my tail in it. And I tap some cartoon. You know what, for this... Frank Lizard. He bends it and does that. I attempt to run rescuers down under his paws. Yes! Roll of cool. I would like you to roll a sleight of tail. It'll just be a straight slide, not... Oh, I need to use the mouse. Oh, gosh. Is this it? Oh, my sorry. I need to go to Game Roles, Monsters... Oh, it's a rat, sorry. D&D beyond, everybody. Take five minutes to find out what a mouse is. I hope I'm a few grace measures. Wish us. Not a chimeric rat, not a crumpet rat, not a cranium rat. Just a rat. Not a cranium rat squeaker, just a rat. A cranium rat squeaker is an option? Of course. Turn into that one. Next. Is it related to mind players? Oh, yes. An advantage. I'm gonna twist this one, aye? You got enough? Yeah, let's twist it. Yeah. What's the dex on a mouse or a rat? It's 11. 15? Oh, that's more than enough. Okay. Easy. Sheesh. Let me pair it. Hold on. I've seen this work. Oh, gosh, it hurts a lot more than this time of year. Oh! You're shredding your tail. There's so much blood coming out. I can hear that. It sounds like breaking a toothpick. You hear a click, and the padlock slides, the weight of the padlock slides down and slowly opens. And you pull your tail out of the lock, and the end of it is in the shape of a key. Nice work, Bricko. It's like the cartoons. See, Uncle Globo? Magic is being very helpful. Although he did once say, me old Uncle Globo used to say, oh, Bricko, don't meddle with powers, you understand? Because you won't know if you're the gub on the stage or the gub on the box. Oh! At what cost? Oh! Well, I injured broke your rat paw, and injured broke your rat tail. So, I mean, it's kind of the hilt thing. Mr. Globo, I try to open it. Yeah, you remove the lock, and you swing the door open. You're immediately met with the scent of pumpkin spice. Mmm. And a roaring fire. Oh, hello. Hello, Mr. Go-mo. Oh! Malcolm in. Malcolm in. Uh, sir, Mr. Go-mo, may I come in, please? Well, I don't know what you're trying to say, but you might as well come in out of the gold. Well, thank you. This is actually quite nice. Anyway, thank you, sir. I'm gonna walk in, and I'm gonna close the door behind them, and I kind of have my head hung a little bit. Uh, Go-mo, my name is Griggo Griggin. Oh, my gosh, you're speaking... You're speaking with mouth words. Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, I'll speak in the common tongue. How do you do that with those teeth? Yeah, well, well, it's all a catapult of magic, what I've been met with. Do you have the plague? The what? The plague! Am I gonna get deathly ill with the plague? Oh, no, you're thinking of the plague. Oh, the plague! Wow. No, the plague. The plague! So actually, so rats don't actually, they don't carry the plague, it's the fleas, the parasite. Oh, you got fleas! Nobody will got no fleas. He turns around and he grabs a hose, and he just starts absolutely hosing you. Oh! We're gonna get a tiny hose from him. Inside of a lantern, no way. Oh! I can feel ground. Dude, I killed the fleas! Fleas are gone, fleas are gone. What's the hose away? Okay, the fleas are gone. Oh! I don't know how. You don't know how to play for gold, man! I don't know how to say this. I'll just give it to me straight, rat boy! Okay, well that's a little good. You can say it. Nice. Nice. Nice! Well, I'll just say, I'll just say it. You know how you was the, like, not the leader of the Brignots, because he was the second oldest of the Brignots, and there was someone older than you. Yes, oh, my greatest friend of all time! And you was only second most. Practically my brother! Oh, my God. Well, you and only, you was only the second most powerful. The memory is that two of us have shared in our lives. And only the second oldest. I miss him so deeply. I feel like my weakened old heart, would just crumble. If it weren't for the moon, I would see him again. I hope Gregor is protecting his chin. Well, I hope you're going to be able to read this. He's excited for this. Torebac is starting to well up. Well, so, you know, my understanding is that you was the second... Oh, now that I'm free, you can take me to Obed, oh! Oh, and he jumps up and he clicks his feet together. Wow, he's very spry. Let me get my satchel of goodies! And he goes over and he starts filling a satchel. I'm going to have all these letters! And he's going to pile all these letters in. He's got a crocheted blanket that he made him with their faces on it together. Oh, gosh. Well, so, your mind is standing is that you wasn't the chief engineer because you were the second greatest and the second oldest and the second wisest, right? You were kind of Obed being older and wisest, right? And more powerful? Oh, and he was the oldest and the wisest. Oh, well. And always will be. Well, congratulations! I can't wait to see him! You're now number one! I'll never be number one, Obed. Oh, no, you're number one now. I promise you that, sir. You're now the oldest and the wisest. Whoa, what a... And the... His time moving differently in here than it is in Prygonok mine! I mean, it actually genuinely is probably a possibility, but I don't know that, so I won't say that's a possibility. Um, I don't know how to say this, sir. But... What are you saying? Tell it to me, straight rat boy! Don't mince words! Don't do him straight, rat boy. The dearest friend who was formerly the oldest... Obed, yes! Who used to be. Platonic love of my life! Formerly. Formerly. Dearest roommate. Um... I don't know how to say this. When I was a goblin... Roommate, soulmate, what's the difference? Well, yeah, exactly right. Exactly right. That's what Mr. Krummys always saying. Ro-beds before Obeds! Yeah, Ro-beds before... Man, I don't mean Obed, but I did mean Obed, and I gotta say... I don't have a say this. He grabbed me, he bought a knee, and he looked me dead in the eye, and then he just died. He just disappeared into a stone. It was like kind of becoming... What color was the stone? What color was the stone? What color was the stone? Oh, the color of the stone? Yeah, what color was the stone? The color of the stone. I would never forget that stone, as long as I live. It is fraud and a memory. What was the color of the stone? Mikey is asking this, Bricko. There were basically a bunch of very similar colored stones, and it was... It fit in with all of the rest. So I would say you would be like, ah, you know... Oh, it was the most beautiful stone you ever did see over the... Oh no, oh no, oh no! Oh no! Wait, wait, wait! It was special in some way! Oh, my, whoa! Who was special? Who was special? Who was special? Who was special? You have a banana. He had a banana. He had a banana. It would make you feel good. It was on special. It has potassium. It has one of your critical for the electro parts. You have it. Oh no, no, no! Better be an aspirin in that vocal. It's okay. It's okay. Don't worry, don't worry. It looked like all the rest. Oh, it definitely looked like all the rest. He runs up to you, grabs you by the fur. It was no special. Run boy was at special or not? Oh, so... Don't let it be straight, run boy! I've got moments left of this fragile life! Who was the sad? You watch his eyes roll back in his head. No, no, no, no! It was not special. It was not special. It was a regular wishbone. He grabs onto you tightly and you see his eyes roll forward. It was regular wishbone. It was regular wishbone. So it's what you're telling me. Is that Obed passed on to the rock grotto with her elders? He's with her ancestors now. Yeah, we put his stone right with all the others. It looked like a lovely stone garden. It was so mundane. Someone walked by and said, where's this big old pile of rocks? It doesn't look special at all. They said, I wouldn't sell this at natural wonders in a bargain bin for a dollar a stone. You know what I mean? That is the greatest thing you could have ever said to me. Oh, dear. For a second I thought. I don't want to say what I thought. But I'll say it anyway. For a second I thought he went, to brick and knock hell. What? I mean, oh, what? He's a brick and knock hill. What's he done to deserve that? What's he done that would make you think he would have gone to brick and knock hell? What? What? What is this? What is this list of anus crumbs that would have sent him to brick and knock hell? Hey, you know, at the end of the day, Olo opened like my uncle Groslova. He said he was a gob in the stage. He wasn't a gob in the box. You know what I mean? I have no idea what you're saying. He was a gob in the stage. Wicked strong on her palpitations. Everything you're seeing right now is book rules as written. This is exactly what happens in the campaign. This is exactly what happens. Explores. Have another banana. Have another banana. Here you go. Oh, where did you go? Oh, oh gosh, don't be here. I'll take it. I'll take it. Oh my gosh. Oh my eyes are leaking. So I know it's very sudden. I know it's a big surprise that Olo's a gob as old as he was when he passed on by now. But that means now that you're the lead engineer or whatever, you're king or something, right? Well, no. Oh. I'm just the Birkenauk elder. They must be in quite a catty wampus without me there to lead them. Yeah, just follow us. It's like the rules are like pre-mogenetist. So it's like whoever's there is just not. I don't know who that is, but. Look at the dudes. The dudes to break it. He's the Birkenauk. Focus it up. Where you going? Guys, guys, hey, it's me, Grico. Should I crush the can in you? No, no, no, no. So I have two. So good news first. Do you want a good news or a bad news first? It's hard to hear you. Do you want a good news or a bad news first? Well, how bad is the bad news? It's very bad. The bad news first. That's fair. On a scale of one to ten, how good is the good? Bad news, bad news. The bad news first. The bad news is about a six. Yeah, pretty good. The bad news is locked in a 11. The bad news first. The bad news first. No, get the bad news out of the way. 11. Bad news first. Grico, can I have you roll a perception check for me, please? Perfectly split on votes. How does this work? Usually Grico's a tiebreaker. Grico, I think you have to go to two of us, tell them the news, and then come to the other two of us and tell us the answer. I'll give you the good news first. Okay. What did you roll? Oh, perception. I don't want the good news first. I don't want the good news first. Okay, fine. I'll do the bad news first. What's the perception check? Perception. He's a 23. Thank you, Grico. So you say this. As you look over and you see that GOLMO is dead on the floor. What's the bad news? I'll tell you the bad news first. Okay, what's the bad news? He's a... What's this? You see him clutching onto a bundle of letters to Ophid, and he's holding onto the blankie that he had uprooted with his two faces on it. No way. He's alive, Niki. He's alive. I don't know. I don't give a shit. I will bet every penny I've ever made in my life. I would end it. We're gonna give you so many pennies. Okay, good news first. Yes, yes, Grico. I found GOLMO. He's alive and well, and he's taking the news of the death that I've met quite well. That's amazing. He's a group of friends. He's fine. What's the bad news? The bad news is that I've just been told informed that there is a brick in our cow. And I believe that we have a brick in our succession crunch on our head. What? I'm looking. Yeah, but that doesn't affect us at all. That's not bad. Oh, and Ophid, I think he's dead. What? What? No, you just said he was alive and well, taking the news of the death. The guy in me, he's GOLMO, he's dead. Okay, hold on, GOLMO. GOLMO, are you here? Are you here? You shake him, and his body is already cold to the touch. His limbs are stiff. Bananas. Bananas, Grico, do your thing. Yeah, I'm saying, do your thing. You better use that magic eye there. Grico, do you see any tools or schematics in there? What did you do to him? By the power of Obed's love for you, and your love for Obed, by the power of his ghost haunting me knees, I will use my knee and cast Revivify. You cast Revivify, and nothing happens. I think he cast. No, no, no, no, no. He cast Revivify, everything's going to be fine. Did it work? You feel his chest, and his body is just getting colder and colder. Oh man, did he go to Brickhunt Hill? How fast does that happen? What did you do when he was dead? Hold on, I just handled. I got to get him out of here. I actually don't have a cast there. I got to get out of here. Wait, Grico, isn't he supposed to turn into a stone when he dies? Yeah, he's still looking like a monster. He's just like a monster. He's supposed to turn into a stone. He's still alive. I'm trying to show his body. I'm doing it. Oh, gosh. You get behind him, and you don't have the leverage. So you corkscrew your tail against the wall, and use it to spring yourself off. You skid across the wooden floor of this lantern. You see Splinter's embedding in his lifeless body as you are trying to push him across the floor. That is so sad. It's like watching that one E-walk, realize that the other E-walk is dead. This is brutal. You move him a little bit further, and you hit his head on one of the legs of the table, and his eyes are just staring lifeless up at the ceiling. And you continue to push him forward, and as you get towards the threshold of the lantern, you don't realize that the blanket has snagged on one of the many Splinter's that his body has been crying from the floorboards as you've been scooting him along the floor. And as you are about to push him out of the lantern, he's holding on to this blanket for dear life, his frozen fingers, immovable, wrapped around the blanket. He just be, he flops out and dangles there, lifeless from the blanket, and slowly the blanket begins to rip, and as he's almost about to fall free of it, whoo-hoo-hoo! Oh, no! He starts to climb up the blanket. Right before that happens, I say, gosh, I think we need to go find the furthest brain out. Oh! You're alive! See? He hadn't turned into a stone. Go find the tool. Go, go! There's no time. There's no time. Look out for my hole! Oh, he had an event. Get your tools. Get your tools. I had a cardiac event. Get him. Pick up the lamp. You didn't see me a little bit ago. You didn't see me pull out one of the very precious, precious chaos emeralds that Bernadette tried to resurrect from. Cremi will kill me if he said the end most. Because Cremi Davis already stole them, and it was a wild cave when he got back. And I just, we've had it this whole time, but I just burned it apart on you. You didn't see that, right? Guys, I think he's in a little cave. I can't feel my big toe. Okay, that's okay. It's very normal. Guys, let's get us outside. Or no, we'll get you one by the fire. Oh, did you make me toast? No, I would love some toast. I would love some toast. Let's all get back to the privacy of our room. Was he alive or dead? H. Mikroj. He's still alive. False alarm. He's alive. No damage or chaos emeralds. You didn't burn one of those chaos emeralds we got in the Patreon exclusive session zero this campaign. Did you grill it? No, no, no. I mean, after all the effort we've ever been through to get him back from Scurvy Dave, and the hilarious caper, do you think I would blow it on something as silly as wasting his spells? It was an extremely hilarious caper, and it was us playing these characters for the first time before we even took the cameras on. Oh, yeah, no, nothing was wasted. He's fawned, he just had a little bit of a spill. He's having toast right now, we're gonna have some toast. You turn and look at him and he's face down in the ashes of the heart. You guys are eating toast in there? What the heck, man? I would love a tiny toast. Gosh. You know, do you have any cinnamon toast crunch that I can give you, lads? I bought him the shelf. What the heck? He's like, he's barely functioning, he's struggling to breathe. You're looking at him and his chest is rising and falling way too fast. Frosty, you're a furrier than I may see a lot, but can it see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch? Yes, I can. And it is as all of this is happening that you are able to make your way back up to the room. Because of the sugar. You enter into the room, Brody Snake-Snake is still sleeping his wicker basket. And Glister is still sitting on the floor, just staring at the door. Oh, hey, Glister, we got some tools today. Oh my god, you came back. Yeah, this is still gonna take a while. Gringo's in there doing something. You're gone for two hours. Yeah, it's not gonna get any shorter any time soon. I'm not good at this. Go, Moe, are you okay? Please, why is it loud? Oh, here I have some banana. Oh, you're allergic to bananas. I'm allergic. Surely you can produce additional product. I've already got 10 bananas. Glister, Glister, show them your manacles. Show who? Alright, Glomo. Go, Moe, can you get it? I'm gonna walk him out. I'm gonna walk him out. Alright, come on, no, his tools. Oh, no, no, no. Go, Moe, can you get your, where are your tools, Go, Moe? Go, Moe, that's so good to see you. And you immediately see him jump up, like, spryas can be. No longer heaving, no longer heart-pompetating. He quickly writes his, his jacket and fixes his mustache as he turns. Glister, it's so good to see you. And he rushes towards the door and reaches out to grab her hand. He holds on to her finger. What are you doing here? Oh, well, Go, Moe, our friends here, I see you've met them. They said that you could break wish-stone. My, my manacles are, are made of it. Well, yes, I can, but I was told not to by Endelin. Well, no, no, no, don't work too much about that. Yes, Go, Moe, you can't worry about that. I'm, I'm going to escape and I'm going to take you with me. You, you, you're gonna take Old Glomo with you. I just, yeah, my friend is dead. But he's got a whole house and a whole pony just sitting there. Someone has to take care of the pony. Oh yeah, what was the focus name again? Oh, I would never forget that. I would never forget. Not that old sequence in one of them bits. Go, Moe, certainly wouldn't forget. Oh, what was the focus name of that pony? Oh, pony. Oh, yes. Chester V. Horsington. Oh, Birdie, my ex-wife. No, that's not Birdie. How did she die? I think, I'm very sorry to say that yes. Wait, do you mean the pony or the horse? The pony? The pony. Sweetfoot? Huh. Oh, that kind of sounds right. I think it was a sweetfoot. Yeah. Chestnut, thunder. I'm talking about the kinky minks brignock that was my ex-wife. We're not talking about that. Let's go and get your damn tools out, man. If you don't bring these manables, just hand it over to me. He starts to undo his pants. I'm just kidding. Hey, Glister. Nice. Don't worry. It's me, Grico. It's me. Glister, it's me, Grico. See? Oh. See, Glister, it's me. I know I look like a mouse, but it's just me, Grico. Your voice sounds exactly the same, so yes, I imagine it is you, Grico. I'm doing that thing I'm always, always known to do. I'm not sure what you're talking about, Gomo, but yes, if you can help Gideon remove these manacles from me, then I'll put you in my pocket and I'll take you back to Brignock Mine. I'll find my sister and then we'll leave here and never come back. Wait. Hold on. What? If we break you out and we, and you take him, you do us a huge favor. Of course. If you break me out, I would do anything for you. That's like an old marionette that is what we have much to do with anything, but you know, I feel like we've- One of Enderlands? No, no, no. No. Totally unrelated. But you know, I feel like it's sort of an emotional support marionette for the five of us and we're feeling real down and sore that she's not with us. We stupidly left her behind, just didn't think of it. Like a couple hours ago. It was so deep down the tunnel we couldn't turn around, so we just kept going. Yeah. You know, since- She's just in the tunnel and you want me to bring her back? No, no, she's in open-tales. We're gleaned out. With your sister. Yeah. Well, yes, of course, I'll bring her back. All right, we'll have to range the handoff, but I also think you can't get away. You're not done here, your past not done here. What? What do you mean my past not done here? I feel like now we know this thing about the eclipse, we've got to work fuck with her head, guys. Right, you see- Sometimes he gets tree dreams. Gleaned. That's from something else, but he still gets them. Glean would not be safe here. I'm not going to allow her to leave my side, so why don't we plan for this? We will remove these manacles. Okay. I'll put- I'll put Goma on my pocket and I'll head to Obot's house, where I'll meet up with my sister and your toy. Stay the night. Okay. It's late. Okay. Glean and I will bring our toy back tomorrow. We'll sneak in. We're quite stealthy. We'll sneak in and we'll come to your room. I do know that you are to be housed, I think two or three doors down from Charmé in the private suites. I know exactly where to find it. I'll find your room. We'll meet you there in the morning. We can talk about all of this then. I really want to see my sister. Would that be amenable to you? Would you allow me that courtesy? I'm just to talk more about- You've been very graceful. You've been very trustworthy. You've been nothing but perfection. I see no reason why we couldn't allow this. Yeah, I mean it's late. We're not doing anything tonight. It's reasonable things to ask for. Of course you want to see your sister. Has Harold Gritlis once said the show must go on? All right, Goma and Gideon. Let's break these motherfuckers. And she puts her hands down. You watch as Gomo makes his way over towards the hearth and he realizes that it functions kind of like a furnace and hanging next to it is this large for Gomo, rock pick, and he pulls it off of the wall and slings it over his shoulder and begins to walk back and he looks up at you. Well, I can break this thing and sever the magic, but at that point it'll be up to you to get him off of her wrists. I'm much too small to do it myself. Can you handle that? Yeah, I can take it from there. Gomo, if you can crack them, I can take them away. All right, bring those closer, honey. And she moves her hands closer and you watch as he swings the pick down one right after the other on each of the locks. And it takes about five minutes. He's sweating. You can see that he's breathing heavily, but he doesn't look like he's on the verge of death like he did when he was... He had just heard the fate of his best friend and Platonic life partner and soulmate, Obed. He seems quite fit and healthy, but it takes about five minutes before you finally see the last remnants of the magic on these things crack and fall away. And you realize that now it's just a matter of taking some of the tools that you have to manipulate the lock itself and open them in a way that they could be at least reused. If you did need Glister to be present, where she could wear them but would be removable, I won't make you roll for it. Yeah, I'll get to work this. You are able with your fey engineering for dummies to work your magic on the manacles. And I would say all told, it takes about half an hour of work between the two of you before they finally fall to the ground and Glister is able to raise her wrists. Hi. I cannot thank you enough for what you've done for me. There's no problem at all. Nobody deserves being changed. She looks down at your wrists and she gives you a sad smile. Too true, Gideon. Too true. One day, I hope to play a part in freeing you. Well, maybe one day. All right, well, you better get on. If it is late, then maybe we should keep an appearance and we head to our quarters. Cell 3, cell block 1. When Brody, snake-ess-snake, wakes up, he's going to want to know where I am. So you tell him that you delivered me back to cell block 1, cell 3, he won't question it. Cell 3, cell block 1. Cell 3, cell block 1. Cell 3, cell block 1. She looks at each of you and then she rushes over and gives you all big hugs. She leans down and she pecks Gullmaw on the cheek with a kiss. Thank you. Thank you so much. I can't believe I'm going to see Gleam. Come on, Gullmaw, in the pocket. And she reaches her hand down and he climbs up her arm. Gullmaw, before you go, can I have one of these cookies from your cookie jar? Yeah, okay. Awesome. What, no milk? Oh, in the ice box. That's very funny. Oh, is milk in the ice box? Yeah. Oh, wow. Thanks. Oh, now I really need to break it. He just kind of looks at you. He's like, be safe, guys. Boy, and he jumps into her pocket. You see him wiggling down inside of it and then he eventually sidles up and he's just peeking over the brim of the pocket on the front of her outfit. She pats him into place and looks at you again and thanks you as she practically melds into shadows and contorts her way out of the room. Farewell, Lister. Get home safe. Did we bring the lantern or not? Either way, if we did, we should put it back. The lantern is there and I'll say for the sake of it, she took the lantern with her. Stop being a mouse. I finished my cookies in milk and I turned back into a cup. You put the canister of alber milk back into the back into the ice box. I don't know about that. We know where our quarters are, right? You don't, but for the sake of brevity, Brody, snake-a-snake, wakes up and you have been told where it was, but you've only heard illusions the fact that you get this place. Brody was the person that told you you'd be escorted to your private chambers. So I would say it takes about an hour of you hanging out making a lot of noise before Brody finally wakes up from his nap. You have a quick chat about how Lister was, taken back to her cell so that she could rest before the big performance. And he eventually leads you towards your room and you are exactly three doors down from Charmé, a large golden star on the door and in chalk is written Ruby Island Players. Here we are. All right. How about all that stuff about the freaking Marionette and the Ori and all that stuff? You think Twig has something to do with all this? That would be crazy. She mentioned Blue Roses, right? That's like Twig's eyes. One of the chances. You think the chances are extremely slim. There has to be a connection. I want you to take Twig and just put a neck, put it on top of it or make it have a touch the thing and it's going to blow up. Well, hang on, Frosty. I mean, it was you or it was you. One of you when we faced off against Will, then she had some kind of a twig. If it was Winbavlon, I showed up. Because she showed up and in a few of her plans, maybe she's got like anti-egg. There's some sort of Rose missiles or something. There's some sort of connection here. I'm starting to piece together. She was able to demonstrate some power in that moment. I mean, maybe it is Twig, man. Is that why you asked Glister to bring her back? Yeah, no. I mean, if it's true and she's seeing the future, if all we got to do is connect Twig to the thing and it blows it all up. You know what I realized? We never came to Bavlona. Twig had died and we never came to conflict with Bavlona until she came up after Will of Farewell. And we never came to conflict with Scabifer. Wait, wait. So Scabifer was in Viva? Bavlona from Viva? Scabifer. And then Lina's young. Yeah, yeah. And so maybe it's when we come into conflict or something, that's when it, ooh, it all gets in the ruins of the plan. Scabifer brought Twig back, but she brought her back in this form, right? So we weren't in conflict. We made that deal to get her like this and then we hadn't run into Bavlona. Maybe it was her. It was her hubris. What did her in after all? And didn't she have dirt on all of her sisters? Maybe this is like a part of a plan, you know? It could be part of a plan. That's exactly what I was just thinking. That's right. That's right. I mean, look, I don't know. Maybe it's a different marionette and different blue roses, but I think the coincidence of that would just be, frankly, unlikely. Well, so I mean, we got to, we got to get to the, the ori, and I guess I mean, she was saying in the vision that the marionette ends up by the ori or something. No, I think that if we get Twig in contact with it, something's going to happen. I don't know what, but I mean, what she's doing seems bad. So we might as well stop it. Man, there's no way to make sleep in a night. This is too exciting. No, we need to try to sleep. They said that they're going to meet us in the morning, so we should all settle down. All right? Okay. You have found yourselves in a room that is nice at first glance, but it is akin to a moderately swanky Vegas hotel. It's not like, it's not like a really nice Vegas hotel. It's like the mid-tier ones. This sweet? Yeah, it's not a circus, circus. The mirror. But it's definitely not the Bellagio, you know? So you're kind of in the middle there. At least it's from Minko and Smogarita. It looks nice, but like as you look a little closer, you can see it's a little dingier than really you would put up the stars of the show. But you're able to find places to rest and relax, and you guys, you know, enjoy this conversation until, I guess, is there anything you want to do before you get some sleep? I'm pooped. I think it is when we've been up for quite a bit before the first talk. I don't think we've slept since we've been in... Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I did whole kink's memory lock today. Oh no, we slept in a gray tree right here before. I'm going to do a routine of evening ritual and enjoy, you know, wiping some water on my face and getting into a calm place. I'll try to actually meditate for a moment and cross my legs and calm my thoughts and do all of that before finding my place on the bed and getting ready to truly rest. You all do the things that you need. You take the time that you need to take to ready yourself for bed. You have done so much in the past 24 hours. It feels like weeks, but it's been a long, long day for you finally sink into sleep. Uh-oh. And you begin to dream. Classic. You all fall asleep, but it comes hard as your minds are restless. Once sleep takes you in darkness and gulfs your faculties, the quiet is deafening as your senses somehow remain. You feel a soft wind whip around you that is slow, repeated, methodical, deliberate, approaching. You see a flutter of tawny feathers and a heart-shaped owl face that turns red, and in a flash, a tall, lithe, fay print stands before you with garments of crimson and hair of silver gold. Oppressively beautiful and nearly hypnotic eyes stare at you within an owl mask as the king of hearts speaks. You sleep as time slips away. Every moment that passes is another grain of sand through the hourglass. If you continue to sleep much longer, Sir Billner will do the same for an eternity and will never wake. I trust you realize the severity of the situation. I need the tools of fate. I need my blade reforged. I need my five knights. Only then can my love be freed from the thorns that grip her ever tighter in her agonizing prison. Since you're runnin' with a repugnant beast, it has been hunting me relentlessly. I've eluded it thus far, but our past grow fewer with each passing day. He raises his hands and a rose appears in each. One red, one blue. While there were once an infinite number of possibilities, we are down to two possible outcomes. First, sweet, sour. Which materializes is entirely up to you. The hag's device is the potential to show you where the shards rest. The Vorpal Sword is our only hope. Sir Billner is relying upon you, my knights. Until we meet again, I shall simply wish for love, for power, for the coming of the witch-light hour. You see the owl fly into the dark, but you do not hear it, and again, you are left in the void, and your slumber takes you dreamlessly for the rest of the night. The rest of your night is a dreamless sleep. Eventually, morning comes, and you all wake up feeling refreshed. You have a memory of what you dreamed. They're... But at first it's kind of vague, or it feels kind of shadowy. But as you fully regain consciousness, and you come to you, it all comes back to you very clearly. And you make your way out into the main area of the sleeping quarters, and there's breakfast ready for you. But not just breakfast. There are two elves, and one wouldn't marry an elf. Hmm. Good morning. We brought breakfast. Yes, we brought breakfast. Hey, you guys found the place. We love breakfast. Thank you. And you brought twigs. Yes. What's he love breakfast? How do you know he love breakfast so much? This is the most important deal, meal. Oh, I just assumed that you'd be hungry. Well, we're ready to break our fast, please. Chair. You take what you want. It's not ours, it's yours. What kind of breakfast? All right, Brown, dig in your valance. There's a lot of each arms. Cinnamon toast crunch. There is a little... Maybe special K with yogurt and fruit. There's special K with yogurt. Oh, that's a good share. There's a tall glass of orange juice next to a tall glass of milk. Absolutely, they're great nuts. Great. They're... Oh, great nuts. There are... Honey puffs. Is that what they're called? Honey puffs? Cheerios? Kicks? Rice Krispies? Puffins? Basically everything except for frosted flakes. Oh, man, they got the whole Kellogg line here. Well, except for the puffins, that's the off-brand. Count Chocula, Frankenberry. Smacks. Mm-hmm. I love snacks. Smacks is fucking dope. Smacks. Is that a frog? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. Honey Christmas is a little bit. It's all starting to make sense. Of course, I'd love the frog cereal. Doorbag is more of a Berry Berry cakes kind of guy. Yeah, never had him. Oh, do you have any fruit? Good. Do you have any fruit, Brut? No. That's my favorite. Just that and frosted flakes are the only things they don't have? Mm-hmm. This is grrr good. Grrr. We were else in that dream? Oh, do we share a dream again? It's coming back. It was first in the first, yeah. Wow. Okay, so to clue you ladies in, we sometimes have like crazy things that happen to us. And there's this guy with an hour mask who's way, thinks he's way prettier than he really is, and we like doing a job for him. You gotta get over this, Grick. Oh, he's a handsome man. He's extremely handsome man. It doesn't get much more handsome than that guy. That's all relative. He's like a magic wing handsome. Yeah, no, it's not relative, not for him. He's magically handsome. He's so handsome. It's objective. And Ongway Eleven could still be like a Feywild four. Yeah, but this guy's a Feywild 32. Yeah. Oh, wow. Complete aside, you asked me to look something up earlier. I don't remember what it was. Oh, it was about the AC, and I opened my tab, and my most recent search was Jareth's Godpiece. Just to put it in perspective, how hot this guy is. For personal reasons. Yeah, that was unrelated to the prep. No, we're talking about a hot Feyman. It's not unrelated. No, no, you just finkled it. It wasn't even an internet search. It was an in-drive search. That's a terrific moment, it really hurt one. Search my computer for Jareth's Godpiece please. Whatever. Whatever. Let's not pretend like you guys don't all have a file of Jareth's Godpiece. I've had some weird Google searches, I guess that's fair. It's true. I mean, I feel like we're running out of time. So much so I don't like that fella. He did say that we're basically screwing around wasting our time. We kind of have been. We haven't really taken this whole meeting quest plot line very seriously, have we? We've been knocking out all these side quests though. We should give ourselves a round of applause. I feel like Young's going a lot better than... Yeah. I mean, he also seemed to say, I don't know, maybe we get up there. Or we got two of the trophies, we think. I mean, that just means one more than maybe that sword. Yeah, we're doing pretty good. If the ory can show us the way to the sword, then I mean, we're practically there. Yeah, we can follow the sword and we give it to him. I mean, how long can that last for a day? But we don't have to cool the sword. We need to get her thing, right? The Andaline's fate thing, right? Yes. We still need that. Yeah. Before we leave. We have the other two. If we get that third one, then we'll be in quite a position. Are you all just saying third one because nobody remembers what it is? You don't want to mention it? It was what you called it. Yeah. Come on, Mr. Kramme, you can do it. Doric believes in you. No, it's the third one. It's the third one. We have the thread, we have the... Oh, yeah, scissors. That's right. Yeah. The silver needle and the silver scissors, exactly correct. So, we have to get to that device. The ooo. We forgot the ooo. Yeah, that one. The ori. You need to get to the ori. Yeah, fiora. That's not a word. You have to be very careful. I tell that so in the second. When do you need to go? Immediately. Well, I wouldn't recommend going immediately, but if you could wait until around midday, Andaline takes a beauty nap. Well, that's reasonable. We can wait until midday. Is it a beauty nap or is it just a nap? Well, what's the difference? Well, sometimes you're just tired and you say, oh, it's a beauty nap and really just sleeping. Why do you cast so much? Are you trying to diss the head or are you being a peter head? Can't I be both, so may as... Can't I be both? That's a good one. Why does it matter? It doesn't, Ty. This was curious. Oh, right. Well, why don't we talk about things that matter? It's fine. We'll continue. Okay. Oh, you brought twig? On the puppet? She's just laying happily on the table. And we knew that Marie was going to at least try to fix her up, right? Repair her? I don't know. Yeah. So, her... she was hoping that she'd be able to do... You were hoping she was going to be able to do something more than... But she essentially looks like twig. You'd have to inspect her to kind of see if there are any changes. This kind of your whole... Well, wait, me, but I mean, you got one... She was doing all kind of crazy rose magic. That's like you guys. I'll help. I'll help. I mean, I'm happy to look at it. I mean, you know... She was on your back for an extended period of time. I feel like you're most equipped to know what... You have a genuine fan to reach for. Oh, well, we got to put her like that. Just because she's made it work doesn't mean she ain't... You and Twig have a special connection. I'll assist. Okay, I'll take a look. I'll see you. I don't know. I mean, we'll see if I can't figure out what's going on here and get a better sense of it at least. Roll an investigation. I'll do my best to assist if I can. Perfect. And you can roll a demand interest. Oh, natural 20. I have a connection with Twig. I didn't need to help. I didn't need to help. I think that was because you were assisting me. I think that's what it was. This is about magic fingers and in your mouth. Do you feel that, Gideon? Oh, that's a real sensation. Those are real fingers for each of you. Why is Gideon brushing his back teeth? Hey, you can't see that. It's invisible. Oh, man, they know how to do it in neck bats. That's for sure. You inspect Twig. You pick up her little marionette body and you look her over. And the last time that you saw her, her joints were stiff. If there had been paint on her, but it had, it was flaking away and it was, she looked like an old, well-loved puppet, marionette. But looking at her now, you move her arms and they move easily. It's very clear that Marie has, has just oiled all of her joints. You can see that the strings that are attached to her have been replaced with new strings. You can see where she has sanded down some of the rougher parts of the wood. You can see where the rose that was on her eye is, that had been, the paint had been cracked. It's now a thin layer of this beautiful pale blue paint. It's not exactly what it had been before, but she, she looks a little bit better. And as you're looking her over, you're actually able to see a little bit more about her than you noticed before. There are, there are a couple spots where it looks like Marie might have made a little bit of a mistake. You can see that there's a small chunk taken out of part of her leg. And you can see that it's green on the inside as if the wood is alive. The ins, like the chunk is out and on the inside is all green. Yeah, so it's similar to, if you were to go to a plant and you were, you were worried that the tree was dead, you would take a carving out of it to see if it was green inside. It's called wick. And you can see that her wood is wick. That it is, that it is green inside, that there is life within it. And as you look at it more deeply, you are, you don't know if this is a symptom of the fact that it's twig or that you read the fey, the fey engineering for dummies. But looking at this, you realize very quickly that this is not just regular wood that twig is made out of. It's rosewood. She looks fairly healthy. It's that one spot on her leg, that little nick that's taken out of it, that if she were to come back, if there was something you could do to bring her back, would she have a chunk out of her leg, which part of her be missing? And it makes you wonder, could she be repaired if the, if the wood that she's been carved from is alive? Could it be healed? And that's what you get. It looks like cut, bit, torn, cracked. It looks, you can see the mark on it where it looks like whatever she was using to freshen her up, she probably slipped and took a small chunk. Oh, okay. It doesn't look like it was intentional, it doesn't look like it was, you know, something malicious, it just looks like that. I would infer that it is from the process of wood. Is wood plants? Wood would be considered plant. Yes, it would be rich, wood is plant. She said that makes sense. Hold on. Is, is, is Rose animal? Is Rose fish? Is it skittering around? Rose is fish. Rose is fish. What a day, full circle. And, and so that, that is what you are able to gleam, gleam on that. I would just relate that as, as I'm inspecting twig, I'd be calling out these things. Notice identifying the chip, identifying that within there's that green wood implying this, this living. And, and the she's made of, of rosewood. And anything. And I get any kind of like magical emanation off it. Yes. I would say you, you can immediately feel the humming of some sort of magic. I would say if you wanted to learn more in that regard, you'd have to like roll an arcana check or detect magic or something like that. Well, she, it looks like she's made of living rosewood and she's, she's thrumming with magic. Does that mean you can't fix it? That's just like, that's just like living tree. I mean, I, you know, I don't, I try. I mean, I need some, you know, like wood covering. I need some, that's back old, get it in there. Oh, I think so. Does that sound like a, like a flesh wound right now? I mean, is she in pain? Well, no, I think, I think it seems like she's inside. You don't know. I don't know. I think if I. That's very possible that she is trapped inside this wooden body in agony. She's in terrible agony. But you know, if, if we had some way to fix repair wood right now, we might be able to straighten this out. I have no idea what kind of effect it's having on her. I mean, I do have fine proficient wood carving tools. Oh, Rico, get in here, man. How the fuck are you dealing with any of this? That's what I'm saying. We started. Rico, get over here. Don't take any more away from her. Wood carving isn't what we want to do. Oh, that's a good point. How do we gap fill? Is there any wood in this room? There are roses in this room? There's plenty of wood in this room. We can just call this one. Plenty of wood, no roses. I'm going to do, I'm going to take a look. And do I feel like with my wood carving tools, my woodworking and whittling knowledge, would I be able to attempt to repair twig or do I feel like this is magic, this? You feel like this is magic, this is something that Gideon said about wondering if she could be healed is standing out your mind. Yeah, it's always like a curse or a magic. It's not something we can repair like a cheap motorcycle. Give you. First of all, I don't know what Dan thinks about cheap motorcycles, right? I don't know something about really freaking cool bad ass motorcycles. I've been going through my pack and I have a small parcel of pixie dust. Could we perhaps mix that with some adhesive and some wood and perhaps repair it that way? Perhaps that concoction be enough magic? I don't know, maybe we take a banana and mash it down with some pixie dust and smear it over the leg. I think it's more of like a metaphorical, it's not like oh, we got to tend to the wound magically. You know what I mean? I feel like oh, she needs some sort of magical oomph. You know what I mean? You mean some sort of event? Event, some sort of like yeah, like a, a, a recursive. Well, I'm happy to contribute to this event for Gertrude. Oh, so you think you just get her up by the ori and turn the leg will just be fixed? I'll just go for shop. You don't got any better ideas than everyone else. I thought the banana piece was pretty good. I think she's freaked out enough to ride about it in the street. Everyone's like, cause he's, he's the astral plane. Everyone's a fucking space kid, that. God, wait, lads, I thought we was doing pretty good. Yeah, I know you're right. I mean, I'm just trying to help, you know. You know what lads, I'm not going to be negative. You know what? I feel like we've, we've been doing pretty good. And I feel like after this adventure and everything we've done today, I just feel like, you know, nice. You know? Yeah, just nice. It helps to give the whole nice rest. I feel like this has been, this has been, this has been this whole, this whole past, you know. It's been, it's been nice. Nice. It's been nice. Nice. You know what I mean? Nice. Yeah. Real nice. Real nice. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Nice. Anyways, that's a big breakfast. Let's go sneak up to that place and bring this doll and build this whole thing, you know. She's napping by now. But after that, we'll get all that stuff done. The breakfast has made me feel energized. Let's, let's do it. Yeah, we'll prepare. You spend the next couple of hours enjoying breakfast and eventually Brody Snakes, or Snake as Snake, makes his way in. Both Gleam and Glister are able to shrink into the shadows, completely obscuring themselves from his sight. Celebrate. But he comes in and he delivers brunch and then later he comes in and he delivers lunch. And as he leaves, you are able to enjoy your lunch. And around that time, you, Glister lets you know that this is roughly the time in which, in which she, Endalyn would be taking her now. And that if you're going to do this, you've got three hours tops to get up there. Three hours tops to get here. And do what you need to do. All right, let's go. Endalyn is taking her afternoon siesta. You okay? You keep a hold of her and you keep her safe, all right? All right. She's got to get to the orio, all right? Yeah, we'll get up there. We'll get up there. We'll get her nearby. We'll get into it. We'll see what's going on. I mean, I don't know. There's a locked door. I'm ready to turn into a mouse at any minute. And if we meet an army of hundreds of thousands of horrible evil pillow puppets, it's possible with your fellows. Yeah, we don't have a tool for that. Well, there's a trust out in Mother Mary, and that's where star players. It's every man for himself, if that's what happens. They can want the poets, we'll say. Yeah. They won't know. They won't know. They're very little. That's the coolest thing to our mix ever heard. Yes, but they'll only write about it if they know about it, and then we'll be dead, and we won't know. It's the biggest thing ever. It'll be from the perspective of what's her name, and it'll say a bunch of Bubblin' buffoons died the whole bunch of really bad ass killer Marionettes. Don't make us any more songs about it and being a bumbling buffoon. Yeah. Well, Glister Glee, if we get killed by an army of evil killer puppets, will you write a song about it so that people know about it? Oh, yes, absolutely. I'll say, no. But before you go, Glee and I free to leave Motherhorn and go off on our own adventures. We need a sabotage. Well, yeah. Opening day. You're kind of critical to the thing, aren't you? I mean, she's been afraid of you this whole time. We could use your skills. You're uniquely equipped to sabotage this operation, and if our plan is going to go off, then we may need you nearby. If you don't mind, I mean, kind of did you a pretty cool solid, you know, freeing y'all, but I mean... Two more nights is all you ask. Two more nights? Wait, is tonight the play or is tomorrow the play? Tonight is the dress rehearsal, and tomorrow is opening night. Oh, in a real deal. They have to carry on. Once the actual play begins, you're free to go. All right. When curtain opens. Well, until then, we can... Until sabotage. We could sabotage. We could sabotage. We could lurk about and hide in your room. Yeah, you can hide in our room. We'll tell everybody you're on the dungeon. All right. Sell block. Well, we'll do it. Two days. Two nights. Two nights. Two nights. Two nights. Two nights. Well, you bet a hurry. Time is running out. All right, we're off. Let's go. We're on our way. You leave the room, and you make your way towards where you have the map. So you know exactly where the Aurea of Tragedies is. Sorry, mate's in our area, I'll bring a moment. And you... So you make your way through Motherhorn, and it seems like Charmé's directions to all the stagehands are being followed. Nobody bothers you as you make your way through. They pretend not to notice you, lest they incur your ire. And you are able to make your way up further into Motherhorn. And you find yourself entering a room very easily containing the Aurea of Tragedies. The cylindrical chamber houses a warring contraption bolted to a revolving metal disk that serves as its base. Metal spheres and sickles are attached to the ends of long metal arms that sweep back and forth, clicking loudly and rhythmically like the hands of a giant metronome. The apparatus is inlaid with characters from strange alphabets and smoky wisps in the shape of these letters, rised from the contraptions as it revolves. The whole device hums and crackles with lightning. Rising from the middle of the mechanism is an 80-foot tall copper pole made of 8 10-foot long lightning rods, attached end to end. It extends upward, past a ring-shaped gallery that forms the chamber's upper level, through a hole in the 50-foot high domed ceiling. This is some Minecraft shit. You watch this thing as it crackles with lightning, and almost immediately upon stepping into this place, you feel the electricity all around you. And then lightning strikes and yawn. You see it splash and pop from one end to the next, following along the lightning rods all over the mountain peaks until eventually it coalesces into Motherhorn and shoots down into the ori of tragedies. You feel the hair on your body stand on end. You feel for a moment like you can float as this room is completely electrified. All of your eyes go milky white. The strange contraption crackles to life as electricity fills the room. Tendrils of lightning arc out in all directions, connecting to the metallic suns, moons, stars, planets, and other celestial bodies that fill the elegantly decorated chamber. The spherical device spins and churns faster and faster and faster as the entire room fills with sparking light. Your vision soon whites out and you are all stricken by prophetic visions. In the first, the Vlornablite straw cackles and croaks as she soaks in a putrid, fetid pool beside the taxidermied corpses of her two sisters. You made good on your promise to her, but it is not in downfall. It is in the highest tower of an enormous castle as swamp water swirls across all of Prismare, filled with thousands of drowned corpses as the entire domain has been drowned and soon the stagnant filth will spill into the Feywild beyond. In the second, Scabbath and Nightshade hums with glee as their sisters stutter step about. Their insides are placed with toy-like clockwork as they scuttle to her every whim. The agonizing transformation was done shortly and cruelly after you fulfilled your Feypact with her. The mechanical hags are joined by an endless legion of toy soldiers that were once every resident of Prismare. With each passing day, the toy army grows and prepares to march into the Feywild beyond. In the third, Endolin Moongrave basks and crows in the roar of applause. A cacophonous din of cheering is the entirety of Prismare, all fixed with mind-controlling masks gives a standing ovation as the performance concludes with her mind-broken sisters. The masks are grotesque and had been affixed once you all completed the bargain you struck with her. The orary of tragedy has been built up across the domain and the descending storm rips through the land and rages into the Feywild beyond. You don't expect a fourth, but yet you receive it. A handful of playing cards stack one by one, each one placed gingerly until an enormous castle of cards is erected, teetering on the verge of collapse yet standing firm. And you realize that five hands are building it. Each of you places the final five cards to form the highest spire, the masters of your own fate, building your future free of the hourglass coven. The future is shown to you. A small pair of scissors are plucked from Endolin's pocket. An ornithopter is disassembled and reassembled with a lily pad and a rocking horse. A unicorn horn is placed upon the steed's forehead. A daring escape into the sky is followed by three caverns, a shard of a gleaming blade within each. Forgotten tunnels deep below a stone bridge, a sunken cove amidst oysters beneath the tides, a stinking hollow at the bottom of a well. A press of gloom lifts from a dreamlike castle and a dreamer awakens. Is the outcome sweet? Is it sour? It is hard to tell, but it is your own. Then suddenly your vision returns to the false starry night as the orery slowly whirs to a dormant state. What the fuck is all that? Everybody see that one too? Yeah, I mean the one. Oh man. Wait, was that the future when we were doing that? Castle of Cards? What in the hell? It looked like possible futures, maybe. I mean, but I don't know, FAPACs? The Hags? This is what happens? Twig. Twig. What are you doing? Twig. Is something happening? She's lifeless in your arm. Can't get all this. Wake up, Twig. Take it to the thing. Are we in the thing? Is there like a sexual... To make it easier, you can see it's right here. Holy. So it's a big room and then this thing is in the middle of it and it goes up two stories. Yeah, got it. Taking out the set of things. That's a cool fucking picture. Yeah, geez. Wow. All right, I mean, yeah, yeah, come on, come on, Twig. You know, hopefully this will help, this will bring you back. I'll walk towards the central point of the ori. You walk towards the central point of the ori and the lightning flashes around you. The loud booming of it oftentimes making you jump, but it doesn't seem to have any effect with Twig. It doesn't seem to get stronger the closer you get with Twig. Twig doesn't seem to respond to it in any way. The process looking for controls as Gideon approaches the center, is there any sort of way that we might be able to channel this energy? If you had some kind of lightning rod or something, you could potentially move some electricity from it, but you don't see any sort of control panel or anything to this. There's no like levers, dials and knobs. It seems to activate when it wants to or when it has something to say. Be careful, Gideon. I have no way of controlling this. There's no function here. Well, it doesn't seem to be doing anything for anyway. I mean, I don't know, I'm placing her all over the place at different spots. I'm touching her to the thing, nothing's happening. I don't know, I mean, there's a crazy big giant lightning strike. Something like that would happen. Well, put her down there and perhaps we can get lucky with another strike. I guess, all right, well, here you go, Twig. This is just like what was keeping that unicorn trapped. Oh, you think it's the same like technology? It's gotta be. No, doesn't evoke it, I'm just assuming. What you remember from the, when from what you saw in Yawn is that there are lightning rods placed all around this, this domain within Prismir and that the lightning that striking is hitting the rods and then arcing all the way back to mother horn. It's that lightning that is channeling this in the vision that you saw with the unicorn. It did seem to be in a prison of where there were these rods where the lightning was keeping it trapped where the lightning was not leaving that and then charging mother horn. It's similar, but different. Interesting. I mean, we got to put the horn on the rocking horse. That's at least part of this. But I mean, in the vision, we got the scissors first, right? So I don't want to mess with the order and ruin fate, you know what I mean? Like, I feel like we wanted that fifth one. A full intelligence check for me, please. Well, if we're going to do with the, with the King of Hearts says, I mean, we need the three relics. We only got two of them. We haven't gotten it. Twisted it if you need to. Yeah. We haven't gotten the end of it. Hold on. 16 is your number? Yeah. 16. Let it ride. I feel like. You, you're thinking about all of this. You don't want to change the course of all of this, but you now know that Endelon keeps the scissors on her. You know that tonight you're going to be sitting next to her in her box when this performance goes off. If you move the sabotage a day early, you could get the scissors tonight. Then you have a realization. You have made three packs, one with each of these hags. And should you choose to take fate into your own hands, you would be breaking three fate packs, all of which have dire consequences. And as this realization hits you, there's, there's a moment of where you, where you feel defeat. And then you remember you were gifted something, something special by Mr. Light. Oh, Mr. Light. Something that would allow you to break fate packs exactly three. That's been holding on to our bag this whole time. Turn this watch. I know Uncle Global would say that it smells like shit. It smells like shit from a shit. No, no. I know that Google Global would say not to trust it, but that's their only chance. And he had a fucking crazy. And we've had this this whole time. Well, I'm glad we said that. Well, you know we have. We're going to just waste it. Well, we definitely, I mean, we know now we can't ever let any one of the packs that we made with them come to freaking fruition. How do we use it? Wait, hold on. Hold on. When does the pack break and happen? If we swap the scissors, does that like break all the packs? So do we need to use the wand now or do we need to save it until we're fucking clear? Here's what I'll have an idea. We have to sabotage the play tonight. We get glister and gleam up on that stage. Soon as they show up, I think she's going to start going fucking cuckoo bananas. Maybe the prophecy will come true and she'll fucking die right there. And if she don't, I think she's going to be none too placed. We use that opportunity. Use the ones break the packs, get the scissors, get the fuck out of here. You better build whatever you had to build in your crazy future. I'm going to need that lily pad and I'm going to need the rocking horse, man. We have to leave the view my lily pad and I think whatever plan we make, we shouldn't rely on the prophecy. Whatever it is, something tells me that she's wrong. Who's wrong? Who's England? England. Well, I mean, I guess, wait, hold on. Oh, no, you have to wait for the ram. Oh, she's on the ground. Yeah, here, yeah. Why was she so worried about that? Maybe this is that what gave us divisions? I don't know. Maybe we're the key to her doom or something. It's metaphorical. Yeah, it was a metaphor where her being with us, we came in, we get the vision and then we do our plan. And then that brings about her in somehow. I guess getting the vision was the final thing it took for us to know that we have to betray these eggs. Leaning to presume that we're their downfall. And maybe if we can get the king of hearts and sword back in the order, he can just cut all the fucking hands off. Yeah, it was metaphorical. It's metaphorical, right? It's just like a dream, a story about a heads. I know actually every massive spoiler is not going to stay that way. Yeah, don't move it. Don't move it. Moving on. Moving on, your rod. So what are you guys saying? We're making a little confused here, all this prophecy stuff. And when are the feedbacks going to her? A fact? Like, what are we doing? Oh, didn't you just listen to the art? I don't buy your brick off every time. Yes, Rebecca. Rebecca, that's why I wasn't clarifying anything. No, no, he's just coming on, right? I think one of the hags can win, but there's a future when none of the hags win. And the king of hearts wins, right? He came to us and our dreams last night and told us to hurry the fuck up. So I think you're right. I think we don't waste a whole nother day sitting around and doing a dress rehearsal. Let's take the fucking scissors and not get the hell out of here. Toran just worried about this whole feedback thing. That's all. We're just going to wave a wand and then they'll be broken, but it only has three charges. And I don't think they recharge a dollar. That would be crazy. That would be very wild. If that was the case. Can you answer that, Frost? Does his wand recharge a dollar? My wand does. I call it sore in the morning. That's very funny. That's very funny. Well, so how I mean, we're supposed to watch the rehearsal in the box, right? So we get up there. We said gleam and glister and they do the whole thing. Sets are crazy. And hopefully we take the scissors off her. And then we make do for, I don't know, wherever that contraption was, get the heck out of here. We have to be ready for the next round. Frost, that's some cold place to say, yeah. Yeah. It's about a day of time. I'm just saying that and her reaction to that site, that vision, it's going to be, it's going to be bad. Frost, I've been waiting to punch a hag since we got here, man. Everyone's wanting to talk and deal. And I've been saying, let's just punch him to death. And that's just the way it is. I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, And I've been saying let's just punch him to death. And that's just good. I know that you've barely been able to benefit from your subclass. And that's reasonable. That's reasonable. There's nothing about dealing with people on here. It's all punching it in. And we don't do not, not nearly enough for that. I know, I know, Gideon. All right let's go back. Let's fill, fill, fill, gleam and gleam in on the plan. Okay, then we'll do it all tonight. Man, I hope Gomo's okay. I hope Gomo's okay. I hope Gomo's okay. Here we go back. We leave. You make your way back to the room and you are easily able to fly gleam and glister. Yeah, and no one's paying attention to what you're doing. You have relatives. You have a spouse to do. Yeah, well, you are the stars of the show. You have guys, you have guys. You have VIP status. We've run of the theater. But you are able to make your way back and you find gleam and glister. They're playing a game, a dice game together. All right, wait, have we handed out the scripts yet? What, no. Oh, no. No, wait, I made the copies. A pretty snake-esque snake was asking about that. That apparently a lot of the actresses wondering what's going on with the scripts. No, as we told the cast members when we transcribed the comments that Mr. Snake put in, we didn't want to distribute them until it was the right time. All right, well, there's no time like the present is. Well, it's now roughly equivalent to 3 p.m. And the play is going to begin at seven. So that's four hours. That's why we're leaving them to the very last second. This is an avant-garde thing. Turns out we don't need you for two nights. We're doing this thing tonight. We're giving the scripts out. We're gonna use you two to do, I don't know, whatever you're gonna do with your sons and your moons, masks, and... You want us to do ribbon dancing? You two are gonna be the leads, just like she planned. But we're gonna change the parts. For us, we gotta put a little bit of Monica in there and a little bit of Erica. And we're gonna distract them second-hand. Oh, she's such a waffling. I'm not sure what that means. Black Mamba number five. That's right. And the second she sees both of you there, free and leading the show, especially you and Alpana Gleam, I think she'll be distracted from the first second. I don't even think we have to sit and watch the whole fucking thing. I feel like it's only missing one thing. Okay, we're gonna go to the trumpet. What? Trumpet. Oh, Brody Snake as Snake plays a meme trumpet. How does he hold her? We'll press the keys. I should've known that. I should've known that lad blows a mean piece of brass. Oh, yeah. We have all the tools that we need. Put this down, brother. Frost. I still don't know what you mean by the first thing. Look, we need to write them as the two main leads and readjust the script a little bit so that they're in it. All right, sorry, all right. Give me the second script. Here you go, here you go. I start to transcribe. You do. You transcribe. And for the sake of brevity, I'll say that you want this to be, this is good, you want this to be a surprise for Endelin. You don't want this getting back to her. If it's written in a script that Gleam and Glister are going to be- I don't want it to be a surprise so I lean into the foreshadowing. No, well, you do want it to be a surprise for Endelin because if it gets back to her that Gleam and Glister are performing together, she will stop this before it even starts. So you make sure to write in every single one of these scripts that as a surprise, the Ruby Island players have found and are delivering Gleam to Endelin in this play and it is going to make her the happiest. The only way she'll be happy about it is if it is a surprise that everyone is to stay hush-hush about it or it will be their ass on the line. And it is with this that Gleam and Glister are able to make their way out of the room, each of them with a stack of scripts held high to deliver them to the actors. You're about an hour to curtain as these scripts go out. And you are in this room, you have time to dress for the performance but you know that in not much time, you are going to be meeting Endelin in her box. God damn it. What? What? Nothing. It's fine, it's fine. I think it's just the word box. It's in her box, I just wish that I had said something else as well. Nice. Nice. I get dressed up as fancy as I can. Like I'm the most in the opera. And the armoires in here are filled to the brim with nice attire. I dress normally, that's myself. You do. Remember, as soon as we make our daring escape, the vision didn't say nothing about who to, we need to go back and fetch her, that's before we get all of them. You know that there will not be time to do that. After we make our escape? To go back into the mountain, you know that you can't go in through the entrance, so you'd have to go back into the bowels of Motherhorn through the secret entrance. Well, where did you leave her again? I can't remember, I'm gonna be honest with you. With the phony. The rock people. The virgins. The Chorrids. The Chorrids, you would easily be able to get her from the Chorrids. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. They're playing chess. Yeah, they're playing chess. Oh god, they're gonna make her a nerd. Oh! Yes, they've given her caffeine and they're teaching her magic. I'm sorry, the scat. It's not a joke, it's not a joke. Oh no, she's too, I don't wanna pass on that addiction. Okay, I look pretty good, eh? Yeah, I'll also get dressed up in the nicest binary. And so what, so your plan, just so I'm correct on this, is you're gonna go to the box, you're gonna watch the show with Endelin, and then you have a surprise ending where you're going to have the eclipse come together so she freaks out. Yeah, I think what it is. Or even like somewhere in the middle. I think we've deleted the show, Freak Out, either at the end, somewhere at some point, the big climax or whatever it is, they show it. And if she freaks out or she dies, I think that each one of us should have a wand, each of the magic people. Oh, do we have three wands? So what I will say, One wand with three wands. So what I will say, and I should have explained this before you left the ori, because I meant to, by changing the day, you're going back on your pact with her. So you'll wanna break the packs before you leave the ori so that all the packs are broken, and you can go forth with this new plan, not being trapped. Do we feel like that? I meant to tell that to you before you left because of what Andy was saying. So for the sake of what my intentions were, you've broken all three packs. They no longer exist, you feel the... As of right now. As of right now. And we don't think they would like notice that that has happened. There. Using this wand, I was able to break the pack. Frosche, what does it look like? This is very momentous. This is a big deal. This is a big deal. It's been 69 episodes. Wish you were the ori real quick. We're flashing back. Cut away, gag. You're watching the Disney Channel. It's like a waste. We'll put it on our shoulder. I'm free! I can fight! We've broken the pack with Scabba-tha, with... Endlin. And with the other one. That's not a full-on. If only there was a full-on. So we can also do with Gerusche. Oh, that was an afei pack, wouldn't work. The wand only had three charges. It's disintegrating in front of my eyes. Oh, man. Not a journey, guys. How sure are we that this worked? You know what I mean? You feel a little lighter, but you, aside from that, there is nothing to prove to you that this worked. All you can do is hope that Mr. Light would pull one over on you. Yeah. All we can do is just ride. I mean, let's ride. Mr. Light's gotta be a trustworthy guy, Ryan. Torbett didn't meet him, but... No, no, no. No, he's not. What do you mean no? No, he's a little slimy little fuck. We're gonna put all our money on that? Mr. Light is trustworthy. He's a very solid guy. He's still a fabe, is he? He is. Solid. How's he solid? Oh, we're gonna make sure we bring on... We also need to save up our best mate, Hurley. We gotta let him know. He is not. No, he was staying here. He's staying here. He's our best mate. Let's get that straight. We just had to tell Burley that he was here because he was choosing to be here. Yeah, yeah. We had a little air cul-de-sac. We had a letter to deliver for him or something. Didn't he give you some? No, he's got a title. It was in verbal because he can't write. He didn't know you never let his numbers and letters. It's just like the scurvy Dave. Oh, man. I would say Frost, uh, wields Mr. Wong's light like a maestro. Yeah, man. It's definitely not the first time. Or by the looks of it, the second and third. That's manipulation. That is pro. Hurley got kidnapped at the worst time. Yeah, he really did. You missed the whole lot. The worst time. I'm sorry you got kidnapped. Anyway, that's a whole other thing. All right, flash forward. But just to go back to hope, so we flash forward, we're now talking about your plan. So your plan is that at some point, Guim and Glister are going to reenact the prophecy, which is going to spiral Endelin out of control. Yes. And you're going to get the scissors. How? Presumably just when they show up together. I think Freak Out. Tovah just snatched it. Tovah, you're a disgusting immoral pickpocket. Oh! Oh! Whoa! Yeah, that is heavy! Have you always been there when you were new? Right? Whoa! Oh! Oh! Oh! Yeah! See, Torex ready. Wow. Torex. Can you hear the rings? Okay. Oh! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Wow! Wow! I know you can do close-up, man. I thought you just got drunk and fell over. Well, that comes later. Turnback has talents. They continue to emerge. So I think we're going to try the pickpocketer. All of that is just going to steal it. We're going to lean on... Tovah wants to steal! One roll at the D20 dive. One roll at the D20. Wait, wait, wait, hold on, guys. Let's set aside for Tovah. Tovah, it's a talking bug, man. He can do any ones. That's very funny. I don't even like to steal. Okay! We're going to steal it! We're going to steal it! There we go! There we go! And with that, you all get dressed up in your finery or what you wear regularly. This is my regular wear. And you make your way to the auditorium. Once the moment you arrive, stage fright meets up with you and quickly ushers you upstairs into the boxes, the private boxes. And you are eventually ushered into Endelin's private space. And it is... She has not arrived yet, but this space is much larger than the other boxes. The seats are plush and covered in velvet. The drapery on the back has a black lace that almost looks spiderweb-like, that hangs down over it. The candles are burning more gently than everywhere else. And stepping into this space all sound quiet. You feel like there's almost a magic that keeps the noise, the... the raucous sounds of the theater out of the space so that she can enjoy the play itself. You do notice that as people move along the stage, you can hear it more loudly as if that sound itself is amplified, but everything else is diminished. And you are able to take your seats as you wait. It doesn't take long. Maybe 15 minutes before the curtains rustle open and Endelin moves into the space tall and thin and frail. Her skirts shifting, and as they move, you can see the little marionette stage at the front of them. The puppets hanging limply from their strings as she steps in. Well, stand. Oh, excuse me, my lady. Now go with the kids, my lady. Gracious host, gracious host. She rolls her eyes and steps forward to a spot where there... it's a longer city. It looks almost like two chairs next to each other, large enough to encompass her, to hold her skirts. She stands in front of it and she looks towards you, Gideon, as if to... for you to motion the seat up to her. Oh! Gideon from... Oh, sure, yeah. With all my hair, take a seat. She sits down and rummages in her satchel and pulls out a golden set of opera glasses as she begins to scan the crowd. Oh, yeah, you're just matured and stuck or something. Do not touch my dress. Oh, yeah, well, I know. Get the hell out of here! I know, I know! I'm trying to scoop the chair in. Try to give you a better angle for it. Excuse his manners. Show it to me, love. Hush! Sit. Of course. Already. Wearing my nerves in. There's some lady, perhaps. Thank you. There you go. Thank you. Me lad. I'm excited to see them rehearse. I believe this play is going to be the best Motherhorn has ever produced. I hear Brody S. Snake wrote a killer performance. Yes, it's my direction. Who are family friends? You. A tale of tragedy. Family loss. Death. Betrayal. It will be grand. And I'm excited to see all of you star actors and actresses. Well, they're right here in this very box. Oh, to God, to God. Your performance yesterday was... Oh, you were there. I thought you meant my god, there's 20 people in there. Oh, thank you. Your performance yesterday was inspired. I picked well my champions. For after tomorrow night, all of Prismir will be mine. That's amazing. And the applause will be loud. You are excited, I can tell. I'm very excited to see that all come to pass. You love the attention. Yeah, it's cool. The accolades. The accolades. That's right. It's always in a one. Ecstatic. Power. I mean, frankly. I love power. I can be honest, being appreciated for just how good we are at something, it's a nice change of pace. Well, that's true, yeah. Yeah. If you continue to impress me, more power will be granted. We have found something special. The six of us are bond, a pact. Oh, like a metaphor of a song special. That can never be broken. Never be broken, never ever. I know. Now shut up, the play is about to start. Oh, okay. Shh. Heen, quiet. Shh. Shh. Shh. Those glasses for everybody? Shh. Shh. Yes, yes. Get in. Every chair. Get in. Yeah. Speak again. You'll have no eyes for need of glasses. Yeah, speak again and you'll have no eyes for need of glasses. Crammy. Silence. Yes, be careful. She raises. You can be quiet. She raises her arms and she moves her fingers and you immediately see strings. You hadn't noticed the night before raised down and snuff out every candle in the place. She moves her fingers again and you watch more strings fall down and begin to move the curtain open. The stage fright steps out onto the play out onto the stage and begins to set the stage for the player about to watch. You spend the next hour watching a rough approximation of the play that you altered for Brody's Snake S. Snake. Frost did a great job at making every single one of the scripts slightly different and the actors and actresses are stumbling through it quite a bit, but they are finding the best of their rhythm all the while. Endelina is watching this occasionally glancing at you and it is very clear that she is unhappy with the state of the dress rehearsal. It is clear that she is thinking of ways to resolve this issue and as you do this, as you also look upset with this, you see a wicked smile grace her face as she realizes she has allies in the five of you. Eventually you are met with an intermission in which Endelina kicks all of you out of the box and she enjoys the intermission alone. You are allowed to be ushered in only when the lights go down and the rest of the play continues. She is practically... You do, you do. And it's on her dime. And so you enjoy it even more. You're not allowed to bring any of it into the box, but you're able to enjoy it outside before finally... I ordered a sandwich and they gave me a hot dog. I ordered some fish and they gave me some fried crab. But you are able to make your way back in as the lights go out after intermission and the play continues. And it all continues exactly as you expect until it gets to the part where the ending... With the ending. The orchestra begins to play a melancholy tune, a song in minor. The sound, or that almost evokes the sound of the moon sinking beneath the horizon. And then quickly into major, the sound of the sun cresting up above the horizon into the sky. And tumultuous fight back and forth of both until they somehow mingle both the major and the minor together in a haunting melody. That is nothing but the audible evocation of an eclipse. Endelin leans forward, her chest rising and falling. You can see the beat of her heart beneath her frail, sallow skin. Her ribs exposed as she leans forward. You can see her shoulder spike up almost every single one of her bones visible as she moves forward in a spider-like way. As she begins to look over and the lights begin to mimic the music. Bright yellow light, soft blue, white light. And you can feel fear. What is this? What is happening? This is not the way the play is supposed to end. The curtain is open and on one side of the stage is a pale moon hanging on the other side, a golden orb of the sun. What is this? She begins to yell, stop this! What is this? As gleam and glister begin to tumble across the stage towards each other. You immediately see as Endelin stands up and screams out, you will stop! I demand it! And she begins to drop the strings as they begin to twist around gleam and glister as she's trying to attach them to them. But these two acrobats are live and they are quick and they dodge every string with position. As they dance around the stage trying to make their way to each other and as the strings drop, she's almost chasing them around as they start to get closer. She drops strings in front of them and they have to move backwards and away. She is focused on this as she's screaming and yelling. Everyone in the audience is looking up at her like, is this part of the show? Do we stop this? What do we do? Did you have a question? I do, but yes, I do have a question. And it is in this moment you feel like she is so completely distracted you could make your way. I believe you mentioned that in the vision we actually saw where she keeps these. Yes, she has a pocket hoop on the side of her dress. There's a small opening in the fabric. You imagine you could slide your hand in there and pull out this. The show has been going on. I've been kind of like, just eyeing her up and down to try to basically case the joint and figure out if the vision is true and try to find this opening ahead of time. So while my friends are murmuring and they're acting like allies here. I'm at the balcony edge just like looking over in shock trying to keep the focus on the stage. I would like you to roll a group performance. What is this? This is a long, long line. But you will be at an advantage and then I would like you to roll a slight hand. Okay. At an advantage because she's distracted. I've got a lot of slighted hand. I would just be waiting for the perfect moment while my friends are really laying it on thick here for the performance. I'm very thick. I'm at a level 20. Oh, that's lovely. Dang. All twists are well. Plus 10 for performance. I think I have 17. Oh, 19. One more twist. One more. One more. One more. One more. I don't have a great big plus. There we go. Oh, okay. 17. Okay. You are convincing. Oh my goodness. You are moments that you... What is this? If you didn't know that you were putting on a performance, you would have convinced yourselves that you believed that this was out of pocket, that this was strange. As you call out and yell, what is this? What's happening? Stage fright. Stop this. All the while, the audience is looking up wondering what to do. And you can see stage fright shaking at the side of the stage. Not sure what to do is he turns towards Brody, Snake, a snake, and they begin to argue back and forth. And it's very clear Brody's mind, no, the show must go on. Stage fright is looking up at Endelin with pure fear in his eyes. He's not sure what to do as Torback. Torback is not very competent, but if he's anything, it's stealthy and sneaky. I like it at 25. Let's go. You are able to sneak your hand into this pocket hoop. The fabric is so close together. It's almost like your hand becomes 2D and elongates as you slide it, almost like a sheet of paper into this pocket. There is nothing else in here but the silver scissors at the very bottom. You're able to loop your finger through one of the finger holes and slowly pull it out and pocket it, and she is none the wiser. If I get a sense, basically, if I get a sense that, because I think I was sitting next to Torback, if this is done, I'll say, leave it, we're going to get to the bottom of this. He pays no attention to you as she's trying to man the puppet strings. Yeah, we're going to figure out what's going on in here. Very strange. I did the Ruby Island plans be silly like this. See you later. She does not pay any attention to you at all as you rush out of the room. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Everyone who is anyone and everyone is anyone at Motherhorn is in the auditorium. There's not a single soul outside of the auditorium as you rush towards the orary of tragedies. You know that there is a balcony on the second platform of what's the audience portion where Endelind goes to get her fortunes told. You know that there is a platform where she keeps her ornithopter, something Kremi was able to see on the map. As you rush towards the room that houses the orary of tragedies and you take the spiral staircase upwards to that top floor, lightning is perpetually striking down loud booms, electricity vibrating in this space as you are able to make your way towards this spot and eventually out onto that balcony. Gideon, your hands are full with twig but you know that what you have to do, and twig is on your back in your pack but what you have to do is going to require all of your focus and all of your tools. So you, with permission I guess from you, you place her down next to the orary. Yeah, absolutely. Just inside there is rain, torrential rain out on this balcony and she is wood. So safe beneath the roof of this building, you place her down and you make your way outside as you call to frost to get you the lily pad. Is there anything else that you want to do before you... In the rocking horse. I would call it, yeah, in the rocking horse as well. I believe. Do I have, is it like a small thing that gets bigger or does having a pad... It is a small thing that gets bigger. I think I was on the back. But you do have it and so you know from the vision that you saw that you have to start with the lily pad. So you have to adhere the lily pad first and then Kremi can give you the rocking horse and you will adhere it. And your goal is, and I don't know if you've told anyone this, but you saw a schematic when you were going through one of the many fay books that you've looked through. Yeah. You see the beauty here of a dirigible and you imagine that if you take these pieces apart that you'll be able to create a dirigible that is perfect for Carnival of crew. And though if you had your motorcycle, you and Kremi could fly away into the sky. It's not strong enough to carry all of you. And the only chance that you have is if you can make this dirigible work. So you rush outside with frost, your hands over the lily pad and you get to work. I need you to make me a... Mike, what would be a good rule for this? It would be an engineer's tools. What is it? Tinker's tools. So would that be flight of hand? It would be plus a skill. So it would basically be a... Depending on what he's using, maybe an intelligence check using Tinker's tools. Advantage. Plus using expertise probably. Which would be adding your proficiency plus advantage. So advantage, intelligence, proficiency. I'll pull out the lily pad and I will make sure that it is receiving as much of the rain as possible to hydrate it. And to make it as flexible as possible before I hand it over. Here, get in. I'd take it, I'd drop down, like darkened goggles that I'll strap around my head. And as long as it takes, I'll just be routinely calling out tools. I think Kremi would be handing them to me every time I call out the actually correct tool. As we're going. I'd endeavor to work as quickly as I can to fuse all this together. You know that you don't have much time. If Endelin is able to stop what's happening, you didn't go down and interfere. She's going to know something was wrong and you are going to be who she hunts. If Gleam and Glister somehow the prophecy was true and this is her demise. Who knows what kind of hell could break loose in this without Endelin here pulling the strings. Regardless, you have no time. What did you get? Twitter. Nice. You lower your goggles and you get to work. You all watch as Gideon works with precision. He calls out things and somehow you know what they are and you're able to hand him the things that he needs, pulling things out of his back all while you're being soaked through and through by the torrential downpour. At first, every time the lightning strikes, you find yourself jumping, but it's happening so often, almost like a heartbeat and it's always funneled directly into the Ornithopter that it stops bothering you after a while. You become desensitized to it as you continue to work. It takes you, I would say, about 30 minutes, even at this intense speed, to begin to take apart the Ornithopter, which is like this strange mechanical helicopter. And you are taking this thing apart and infusing bits and pieces of this early cat. And it takes about 30 minutes for you to put them together in a way that you now believe that you are ready to then take apart and utilize the rocking horse. All right. And I open my bag of holding and every time. It kind of rocks a little bit. You, before you grab it, Gideon, you notice something crummy as you set it down. Flash, almost like a ring of light where the horn would and could be fixed. Not yet. We all saw the vision. That's right. I've been reluctant to give you up. I think this is why for this moment right now. Place it on its forehead. You place it on its forehead and almost immediately it illuminates in this beautiful, pearlescent light. It is the pattern, this almost whitish rainbow pattern that shimmers over it is completely evocative of the unicorn that you met. And for a second, you feel like off in the distance, you hear the sound of a horse, a unicorn. And you realize that you do. As the lightning gets louder, you look out over the canyon and you see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, up to 13 flashes of lightning in a circle erupt and pillar into the sky, hitting 13 different of these lightning rods. And the electricity begins to rocket towards mother horn. You realize whatever this is done. And I would say crummy roll a roll of perception check for me. Oh, it's pretty good. It's four, four more twists. Actually, how many twists do we have? I don't know. We had like 17. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For the second. The DC is 13 for this. Oh, I'm good. It was a 15. Nice. You don't know how you know this. Maybe it was your connection to the other. Maybe it's your connection to unicorns and the fact that you love unicorns. But you can feel that you have done something truly kind in this. You have returned the horn to where it belonged. You've returned it to the unicorn. Whatever cage it had been held in, that lock has been broken. And as you see those pillars of lightning shoot up, that lightning cage had been trapped in, you see a ball of that shimmering pearlescent light shoot into the sky and dart off out of yawn and towards thither. Going home. And you realize that you have set Elidan free, but the lightning is coursing. It has hit those lightning rods and is coursing towards mother horn. You're free. The amount of lightning that you don't know if this structure can handle, if you do not get the dirigible created before the lightning hits, you are not sure if you will survive it. The clock is ticking. Get in. I think you can make another ball. Oh, fuck. Move it. So basically you're disassembling the rocking horse and the rocking horse. I'm disassembling the piece of earth. And the piece is now rebuilding it into a dirigible that can hold us all. With the giant lily pad, believe me. Yeah. It's kind of like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yup. Um, I'm at a 15 currently. Uh, did you get your expertise? Give it a little more. Oh, I didn't, we're all at a vanish. Give it a little more advantage. Give it a little more advantage. You're vanish. I got worse. Give it a little more. One more bump up. No, no, no, 15 more. At least three or four more, at least, I think. I can do another. I definitely have some left. I was the same roll as well. No, no. 15. I think you need to like, oh, 15. That is for you. 15 is my first roll. For you, that's enough. Uh, you, you work as quickly as you can. You, you look towards Kremi. You see a single tear roll down his face as you realize, realize what he's done for a unicorn. You're not necessarily sure you understand the extent of this, but he passes you the rocking horse and you immediately take your first two. Taking, taking it apart and attaching it. You've done most of the work already. The, the hardest part was getting this lily pad to function as the balloon of the dirigible and getting the blades of the ornithopter to function as the vessel for air into the balloon. Now it's just a fixing the basket. And that's, that's what you're doing with this is you're going to work and to focus occasionally looking up and you're seeing as yawn is illuminated by the lightning that is coursing through this place. And you finally with one final turn, the entire thing is put together. The magic in all three of these magical items merging together and then immediately begins to lift up off of, off of the balcony. And you imagine that you could jump in and as you look up, you see that you have 30 seconds before the lightning is going to strike mother horn. What do you do? Come on, let's get out of here! Come on, let's get out of here! Amen, amen. The moment I see this thing's done, I trust it. It's done, come on! I jump in. You, you watch as Frost jumps in, Griggo jumps in. We can twig! No, we're getting there. Torbac jumps in, Kremi jumps in. As, as you're watching them, you look around and you realize Twig is over by the ornithopter. And you, you have five seconds. Can you make it? What do you do? Twig! Oh yeah, we're about with the chains and then when they sleep towards her. You whip out with the chains one second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds. The chain is almost to her as lightning strikes. Why would you say that? A funnel, a funnel of raw lightning, all of the power that was used to trap a fully grown male unicorn within Yon is funneled into Motherhorn directly into the copper rod at the very top of the ory of tragedies. You hear the grinding and wearing sounds of the ory as it attempts to hold all of this power and somehow it's doing it. It's managing it. You watch as the suns and the moons and the stars, the metal ones that are hanging from this begin to spin and spin and we're so fast. Every hair on your body is standing on end. The flames within you are almost feeding on the electricity as you feel the embers of your beard and your hair turn into full blown raging infernos. As you yourself feel the power of the electricity in this as the four of you watch on as Gideon is almost supercharged with this as you stare over at Twig. You're still trying to move through this to get to her as the lightning hits her tiny wooden body. A loud or a large burst of blinding white light pops and you are blown backwards hitting the basket of the dirigible as you land. It is silence for a moment. Do you die for looking? You can hear nothing. None of you can hear anything. It's almost as if time slows. And as the smoke clears away, you see bits and pieces of the orary of tragedy, the orary of tragedies hanging limp. The power of this lightning strike too much for them to handle. How you survived it, you have no idea. And where Twig had been is a charred wooden form. What do you do? Grab her and let's get the fuck out of here, Gideon! I'm stunned for a moment. I probably can't even hear Griggo yelling out. I see the charred form of Twig in front of me and it takes at least two seconds for me to stumble to my feet and regain myself having been blasted back. I'm trying to shake it off. I'm trying to access the drive to just move forward. And I stumble forward at first, my legs, I'm sore all over, one foot and then the other. And I pick up a little bit of pace and I get towards her and I fall to my knees and I pick her up. And I can't even, I say something, I can't even hear what I say myself. And I pick up her charred remains in my hands. You need to think, you co, don't you die for her! The wooden body of Twig is charred beyond repair. As you pick it up, you can feel the bits of rosewood on your hands crumbling to dust. The bits of metal that are holding her together are melting against your hand. If you were anyone other than you, the burns would be agonizing, but you feel nothing as you watch the wood crack and peel and fall from her. But where should be nothing? You see the pink rosy flesh of Twig. As the wood falls away, her body is within and you begin to wipe away the ash. You begin to knock away the bark. You begin to kick away the bits of metal and screws. And she is there, her head lolling back. No breath in her body as you shake her and then you see her chest rise and fall. As her eyes, both of them, flutter open. Good. Twig! Why do you smell like crevy? And Pennsylvania. And that's where we're all in the session. She put her hand in it! She's got her own! Alright! We didn't even have to go into a lamb! You didn't even have to go into a lamb! Which isn't an animal, apparently. It's just a good eating of you two. Oh my God. Wow! No animal scientists.
