Summary

In this D&D campaign episode, the party escapes Mother Horn on a newly constructed flying airship called the Flying Circus, reunites with Twig after her resurrection, and begins orchestrating a coordinated rebellion across three provinces of Prismia involving Cyclops, Corrids, and Brigandox forces to overthrow the three hags in control. The episode culminates with the party discovering the first shard of a legendary broken sword in a mystical cavern.

Insights
  • Collaborative worldbuilding through player agency: The party's decisions to break pacts and stage a revolution created cascading narrative consequences that unified previously antagonistic factions
  • Mechanical integration of character abilities: Gideon's Fae Engineering expertise was leveraged to solve transportation and environmental challenges, demonstrating how specialized skills drive plot progression
  • Narrative pacing through resource management: The 24-hour timeline for the rebellion created urgency while allowing the party to recruit allies across multiple locations, balancing exploration with plot momentum
  • Character redemption arcs enhance world coherence: Omdapur's peaceful resolution with Mudlump and the Cyclops demonstrated that dialogue can replace combat while maintaining stakes and character development
  • Foreshadowing through environmental storytelling: The clearing storm, visible landmarks, and corrupted Wishtones embedded in cavern walls provided visual narrative cues that guided player decision-making
Trends
Player-driven political narratives in TTRPGs: Campaigns increasingly feature large-scale faction management and coordinated military operations rather than linear dungeon crawlsMechanical flavor integration: Game systems that tie mechanical abilities (Fae Engineering, spell components) directly to worldbuilding create more immersive and coherent narrativesCollaborative enemy reframing: NPCs previously positioned as antagonists are recontextualized as allies through player investigation and dialogue, subverting traditional binary moralityEnvironmental puzzle solving: Navigating hazardous terrain (wind caverns, lightning storms) through creative use of vehicle mechanics and abilities rather than combat encountersFaction-based campaign structure: Multi-act stories organized around recruiting and coordinating diverse groups (Cyclops, Corrids, Brigandox) toward a common goal

Greetings. You're listening to Legends of Aventures. My name is Morning Frost and this is Once Upon a Witch Light. Here's what happened last time. Last time, on Once Upon a Witch Light, you found yourselves in the aftermath of performing Lucroulon Rouge. In during a night's sleep, you dreamt, and the King of Hearts sent you a very important message. Your time is running out, and you needed to get to the orey of tragedies. Is there was something about your fates that you needed to know in order to progress your plans? With the help of Gleam and eventually Glister, you were able to bring twigs marrying at body back to Mother Horn and make your way up to the orey of tragedies where you were able to glimpse your possible futures. What would happen if each of the hags succeeded with your help? And lastly, a fourth future that you didn't expect. What would happen if you chose to break those packs and move forward for yourselves? Move forward for your own aims and not help any of them. It is after viewing these futures that you decide that that is what must be done. Remembering that you had the wand gifted to you by Mr. Light, you were able to break all of your packs with the three hats. And progressed to sabotaging the dress rehearsal. And doing so, Torbeck was able to steal the final hagg treasure that the King of Hearts leads to accomplish his goals and to help you into the Palace of Hearts desire. And you were able to rush then to the orey of tragedies onto the top balcony and out into the pouring rain where Gideon attempted to turn all three of the hags mounts into a mount that could carry all of you out into Yon and into your next adventure. It was here that Cremie decided to place the unicorn horn into the rocking horse, unnoticed to him, freeing the unicorn that had been trapped in Yon. And as the lightning that was keeping him trapped was unleashed into the air, it went exactly where the rest of the lightning goes. Straight towards the large copper rod protruding from the orey of tragedies at the very top of Mother Horn, forcing a large amount of electricity into this contraption. Twigg, her marionette body, placed next to it, was the conduit for all of this electricity. As all of it was forced into her tiny wooden body, Gideon, you rushed to her, trying to save her before the impact. You were not able to get there quick enough. As you watch as her body becomes charred, darkened with this electrical power. And as you hold her up thinking that this is it for Twigg, you watch as the wooden pieces fall away, the marionette parts falling away from her and in your hands is the pink body of Twigg. Everything is still crashing and crackling all around you. She opens her eyes and looks up at you and lets you know that you and Kremi smell like Pennsylvania. And it is that moment that you find yourselves. Silver Norton, Twigg's eyes roll back in her head. She is still incredibly tired. She has just been electrocuted. Her body convulses every once in a while. She holds tightly to you, Gideon. As the rain is pouring down around you, you have very limited time to get out of mother horn. You can still see that the lightning is crackling through the broken remnants of the orary of tragedy. So much of it has been blown apart by this giant lightning strike. And you know that you don't know how long Endelen is going to be, her attention is going to be occupied by the destruction of her dress rehearsal. And so looking and holding on to Twigg's small form as she clutches onto you, she seems in this moment to be safe. Your best bet is to make your way onto the newly formed dirigible and make to the skies. What do you do? I'm going to get out of here. Quick, quick, we got to spin the thing up. Is she all right? Well, I don't know if it's me yet, Twigg. She was married now, but the line of bums plies it in the end. And then the thing is, the thing is, the ground is all I have. Oh, I can't do it. It's all I have. It's all I have. It's all I have. It's all I have. It's all I have. It's all I have. It's all I have. I'll pass her a grip on it. And then I'll head to the controls and just start slamming levers, and turning knobs, and spinning a wheel. Oh, for you. And you'll hear the dirigible start to kind of like, word to like, like, kick on and rumble a little bit, as it shifts on, and ideally, hopefully- And as you do, you see what had once been the Lil-Bavarnas Lilip had swells into this large balloon, overhead, as it begins to fill with air, and you begin to shakely move up into the sky's lightning, is striking all around you, but it is focusing on this metal structure. As you, at first, move very slowly, and then jolt forward a little bit, as you're getting used to maneuvering this thing. Eventually, you're able to, you're able to, just, just, dirty this thing, and you rise into the air up above the clouds, and you are now hovering and flying fairly slowly through the skies of yellow. Calm down with the bananas, Gregor! Oh, wow, that's so many bananas! Wow! Tweet! Tweet, are you back? You have any toads? No! How fillingly package! So, we didn't do anything to eat, we didn't do anything to eat. I hate the taste of bananas, then! Twings, what happened to you? You been a merry nut for like, this whole time! Well, I don't know, I'll remember going down into a frog, and then I think I died, and then I remember something about, I remember something about sand, and there were some swans, and then, there was like, stop happy, and then, there was no more sand, and then, I was being like this! And that's what I remember! Wait, what? I didn't get out of the stand. Basically, basically, I'm like, I don't know what you're saying! No, last one! Booh! You're being electrocuted by the lightning! Oh, no, no, no, I'm even going to be in a lot of bands, so, I didn't sit, and then, looking like that, well, I was over at the towers, she was more just like a queen! No, the good news is it sounds like you didn't die at all! Welcome back! You know, I feel great! That's amazing! Well, I mean, if you don't account for the fact that my limbs feel stiff, my face is kind of droopy on one side a little bit, I'm really feeding for some frogs! Oh, you have more bananas, I know you don't care for the taste of them, but they have potassium, and then, the male hopelessly are muscular, uh, issues. No! Um, I want to take a look at her, and I'm like, hmm, I'm gonna see, is she actually alive, is she like half-pup it? Is she like, are you trying to stare me down? We can have a staring contest! I'm just trying to see! I don't have to blink! I'm trying to make sure to say no ding-dong, which is shredding! She blinks three times! I'm the best at this, I'm not going to lose a staring contest! She blinks three times! No, uh! You shut your mouth, bro! I'll have you now, trust you more now, but... Everyone who challenges me to a staring contest regrets it terribly! Well, I'm not gonna regret it, because I'm gonna win! She blinks four more times! Yes, we'll give you a little, we'll decide who wins and who loses! Huh... I'm drooling a little, but my eyes aren't closing, and they blink! Yeah, you're good! Yes, I am! Am I supposed to see if she's like, you can be all or not? Yeah, we're holding that as a check! You know, if she's right in sight, too! I need to open up this, uh, mid-de-cheen. Eh? Eh? I mean, uh, seven. Oh, she is... she is... she is back. She is a hundred percent. One... she is one-hundo-pie. Oh, I'm not answerable. That's terrible. Twig in the flesh. Ah, why are you calling me twig? Wow, that is very impressive. I told you, I was gonna win! You were very good. Guys are can confirm, according to my official judgment, I believe this isn't a wicked trick. A witch's trick. Oh my gosh! There's a frog in here! It's dead, but... Mmm, tastes delicious! Well, that's good news, then, Greg. All right, everything seems to be set right. Yeah, I mean, we just broke these packs. Twig is back, and we got this wicked awesome flying! Flying bad ass thing! I mean, things are finally going our way! What? What pack's did you break? What happened? Well, we made a bunch of packs with the hags to... You bet all the hags without me? Well, you were there, kind of, and from a certain point of view. Oh, yeah, after you hit me, and did it, and because that sounds like something a hater would do. No, I mean, I worry his backpack the whole time. I mean, we brought you along, and, you know, and some respects. I mean, for all its one point, thought you did something really cool with roses. He basically participated in certain points. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. You certainly did something cool. I can tell that it came from your body, at least. Well... Yeah. Alright. So you weren't even there in spirit. You were there in just physical body, the whole time. I would make a pretty cool backpack. And then you did? Yeah, when you came back in. Did you put stuff in me, or just carry me around? Well, I think we put stuff around you sometimes at different points, but never in you. Yeah, you made a wood. Yeah, you were solid, you were solid wood. Yeah, you weren't actually like, can you and made into a container? Oh, how's her leg look? Oh. Where her wound is? She's like a chunk cut out of her leg or less right there. Yeah, I mean, she's wearing her dress, so you could look. I just, if it's like, you know, like, as she's like wandering around, you'd have to watch her for a while to see if it peeks out, but it's not something that you can see automatically. Oh, I see a twig. Just to make sure it's like a ding-doll which is shrink. Okay. Tell us something only twig would know, but not a nasty witch. Good thinking, Greg. Okay, thank you, Greg. Torbick felt like Pup gets by Zafri takes a bath. That's true, but you guys probably don't even know that. Yes, no, that doesn't make no. I think that's bullshit. It's true. No, it is. No, it's true. I've never smelled him smell. No, no, no, no, no. You should've seen that ding-doll which is shrink. Why don't I want to tell you? Tell us something else, or else you might be a ding-doll which is shrink. What's up, anything else you know about us? I know that, oh, God, I don't know anything about you. How did you nearly die? I told you I waited to a fro. Why? Um, I needed to get something for you. Oh, well, that's perfect. Don't worry about what you were going to get. But I think this is twig-doll. Because I think you were sad. And I didn't want you to be sad. And I knew that I might not be able to breathe in that. But I figured if I got it for you, that you'd be my friend away. I think she's one for two right now. Are we going to need a tie? I'm sorry, we need a tie. You said the ball back. Oh, the ball back. No, no, no, no, no, no, guys, you're just brushing it over the feet. You weren't there. That for one glorious moment, Torbeck was beautiful, blonde, and smelled wonderful. I'll put bows on you. That's right. And then all of a sudden, it was too good to be true. And it was taken away from Torbeck like everything else in his life. Because you're a filthy animal. That's a little animal. That's a little animal. He almost killed us all. Yeah, it was where he destroyed my house. And I was so nice, I washed him off, and I put bows on him, and then he farted in the water. Well, yeah, that part's true. You won't know how many times. What do you think of that? 17. Wow, 17. Yeah, we'll say 17. 17. It has to turn it like at least after 10 is going to be shot. Right? It's going to be a little bit old. It's going to be a little bit old. It's going to be a little bit old. No, it's not because he drank the water. No, that didn't happen. That was a bad, that was a bad, that was a bad, for girls. That definitely didn't happen. Okay, Torbeck's lying about all the wrong things. What, what's that thing that I'm always doing that I'm quite known for? Oh, that's a good one. What's that you're always doing? Talking to animals. You do that weird thing where your fingers go, oops, he's lazy in the opposite directions. Well, I don't know if that's really how I want it. I can't do it without hands. Well, isn't the thing you always do after, too? Oops, he's lazy, you know, he's always doing it. I know, he's always doing it. Oops, he's lazy, sounds way less cool, or you put it like that. Sounds a lot less cool. Well, I don't know how to do it with my hands. Oh, we need something else. I don't know, Torbeck. I don't know, Torbeck, you know, it's still a bit question. We should let Twig rest. I believe it's Twig. Don't you understand I gotta hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo ho Absolutely crazy. All right, look, I'm glad you were alive, but getting you could have died And so I just hope you don't plan on doing anything like that again. I appreciate the acts of heroism Well, I mean, I just thought me who knew I couldn't outrun Latin Really thought I'd get there and back before it's drug I'm pretty fast sometimes man. I know you know, it was just I just Dashed and look you got lucky all right. I'm just saying keep that in mind for next time, okay? All right, Krammy, I ain't all right safety first safety first Thank you Wow, I missed you Oh, well, we missed you we missed you more. I don't know you were like missing things and then what while you were the You were in like a wooden body Thank you for not throwing me away. Oh, of course not. Yeah, why would we throw you away? Believe me in that frog. Oh, we jump right in after you get out of there. Yes, we risk our lives we on We almost we almost lost our own Close I saved your life from one of my dreams. Oh, that's so what else happened in it. Oh, just lots of stuff. Oh, that's cool This is like a cool Car something in that. No, oh good you fly Yeah, uh To all your teeth fall out and then No, the You All your teeth and your dreams and in real life I sometimes get the title wave one. Yeah, I get that I also often die in co-rex I got plain accidents. Oh, well, maybe this was really triggered something Build this thing about I know we watch you do for 30 minutes, but like in the rules You know the laws of equivalent exchange I feel like this more material world here than there was that we started Well, yeah, I mean that's the trick about Fade Engineer in 101 is just you know Nothing really makes any sense. So you just kind of slap it together and it's all kind of built by belief So as long as you think you can build it and you think you got the general parts You know they start to kind of just shift together. I'm really proud of this one section though You see here in the little pad a little circle because I had the flame Generation to kind of modulate the hot force as we were going in and out, but I couldn't I couldn't solve You get this I couldn't tell from what he kicked up We just kept going upside it could this little circle a task train to it so we can kind of change the flap and and that will allow to release the pressure in the top It was when we go down until that's our modulation hot That's cool That's genius. Did you know I understood every word? The only issue with this vehicle is that we can't land on round Island and there's no way for us to get the nights a little around Yeah, we're gonna get that some of the material. Yeah, it's right there I can't land the the rocket horses is made for mountains and all the past is made to travel across sea We can't wait we win anywhere Get it. Yeah. What's this thing's name? What's up? What's up getting that's a great question to me. I mean we haven't really You know the you know all the lightness striking and all the you come back alive. I didn't think to name this beautiful beast Yeah, I mean it's got a little bad. It's got a cool kind of unicorn thing going on. It's got I don't know there's something to the fact that it's kind of flying pretty high on the wind you know, there's something there Oh We win this to fletch a little bit. I think we should say no foreign pretty high on the wind I'm thinking kind of like like flame toffoon Be it high You know it's kind of like the wind like big toffoon And then it's a fire I mean what else are you gonna buy a fly I mean build a flying machine right as long String some crazy The facilitator feel like aesthetically giving the whole like you know clockwork on a thought to combine with giant Really bad zeppelin combined with you know rock and horse unicorn Mass-tats sort of vibes doesn't really speak flame toffoon or whatever the hell you heck you said yeah Need something a little bit more elegant You're thinking like fire she know I'm here I There's flames making the whole thing go up. I thought it was Countless pounds of flamble gas. I don't know And just a picture in this right we're not in a hot air balloon. I'm thinking more We're literally the high wind where it's like a big long balloon like this and we have like A little bit of steep on corn To probably some kind of like you know little mini propellers Yeah, that's Torbex favorite I've built the high one out of a rocking horse in a little bit It's it's almost like you're going from under city the strangled horn male. Oh, that's that's pretty good actually If don't make a sad man You know We can come up with this For us you're always good at naming things. Is it? What's your name? What's your name is a suggestion? What is it? If you like it to be a name of the creator's name is is the You just want to name it to get in you're so dumb sorry Oh great Joey just a perfect for a moment you said that you fell you saved us in your dream Yeah, I got a headache During your dream or now right now Oh, what were you talking about when you said you saved us in your dream? I was talking about saving you my dream duh. No, no, but what was happening in our dream in your dream that you needed to save us from And how did you save it? Well, it says a lot of things to say I think it's important So we're trying to take your blood So I said I said rose that um and I said no gives that blood back dummy you were there Yes, yes, yes, you were there It happened If they had taken your butt you would have been That's why you Know I think that you actually I wouldn't That's like a true story believe you now Frosty frosty never lies We can't fly it off into adventures if it doesn't have a name What are we gonna tell all the people who think we're really cool? I kind of like the hidden pad You You miss your you miss your hydrated name it so none for you Frost gave it away for me. Oh, it's how about because it's an owner fob to how it says I'm feeling owning Oh Fish You can go at the flying orny The lily pad somehow yeah, I'm just a little orny Oh What if it's like What we call with it with a different things around here called it's like the fay hopper The baby unicorn hopper oh hopper Yeah, like bad like from pads and we use it to kind of like get around Well, yeah, but twig your back you're Why the lily pad instead of Is set of kittens classic name where those odds are like I'm a bit of a home dog We call it the on frog and also a unicorn was the Home to lie on frog who are and why the little orny is pretty funny Hey, it's just I feel like that beneath this fellow Well Like man we should name it hero from assassins Creed to Doorback alone is unlike a bunch of different lists and has like a million felonies put all of us together We are not upstanding gentlemen. You're gonna say something like Charterous and don't know The team You keep messing up a kind of name I would come up with I was thinking more like the violet magnolia It's got a certain jettison Oh, no, it's a little green. I mean it's a little green brass. I'm kind of picturing a las Oh, what about the uh What about oh Oh, man, this is gonna be the whole episode We What if we call it the pooter the pooter for a reason Because I finally found out a name No, the booer I figured it out like it's not beneath us. It'll hit all the boxes The ascendant Zephy No I can I just call it You can call whatever you want to it. Yeah, you just got a no thing the green fairy Actually pretty good and it gets us from point A to point B just like a fairy or just absent Doorback is really now towards you know three of these options I mean, I can at least pronounce that okay, I'll feel like we need to pull between the ascendant Zephy Oh The last time we voted in episode of Dungeons and Dragons it took a really I'm voting for the green fairy. I think that that's An insist It's a little bit better than It's gonna be all right We're the say wow look at your heart and tell me that you don't believe I know it's not the green fairy good Just remind me you can call it booter is a nickname, but that's not what we're wrong because how do we spell pooter? The green fairy is already back Oh Yeah I'm gonna call him Well, that's not even the running for name I gotta say I think I'm voting for the ascendant Zephy Well, okay, we have to do this fair all hands for the green fairy Oh I mean For the green fairy all hands for the ascendant is Torre-mexing is Three hands for that's a time No, because there's three minds that means that I have to break the top Because there's only six of us Again I want to vote for pooter I'll vote for pooter with you No, I'm the captain and that's for all doesn't get a vote I'm the captain of this ship For all see already voted for all the voting Oh, okay, we didn't get a new vote Okay, so Torre-mex doesn't get a new vote Which means green fairy wins No, Torre-mex was just mistaken so he gets to change his vote different rules and doorbells If I can't vote for pooter then I'm gonna vote for the green fairy Oh, what about the flying circus? He's are all so good I really like that I was like this is just crazy from It's like Mr. Rennie's flying circus That's all for that The flying circus is Okay, I'm gonna go to the flying circus The flying circus is pretty cool Yeah, let's do this special Saturday All in favor of the flying circus raise your hand Can we do the flying circus? Oh wow Everybody voted for the flying circus that mattered You had a vote voted there Exactly right We all need that All right, let's get on with this fucking house Okay, okay, then you gotta christen it Well, yeah, bring drinks I mean we're escaping the crazy house Are you using this dead frog? I already licked it too long All right, Brickle told that one of you won't be christened I will christen that Oh my lord, christened This is such a disgrace I did not fall I christened the great airship Penseling in the flying circus But maybe the green fairy and maybe the ascendant's effort And maybe put a But probably We're not a committal, all right christened And I'll raise it back This is it I'm a frog just saying Oh my god I'm a day, you took the lead You just have one left I'm a frog too drunk You got some, like, tears and rain I hope that's not a bad idea I mean that can't be a good one You know what I mean I don't know I'm going to check to make sure I built this thing Because it's called a Aeronautical Foculose, is that a bad almond? No But where are we going to do next? Well, we have to decide where we're going And then we get there And before the rest of this ship And it all emerged around us There's only little rooms and cubbies Now that I've come back from the day There's only 40 cents There's only 40 cents That's the thing you fucking sense There are two or three other levels of it On the highway On the highway Sorry, the flying searches are also maybe the green barrier Also maybe the boater That doesn't make me fucking sense Derek you're a treasure I have to contribute somehow Well, now that I've come back to alive Should I, should I give like a new outfit or something like This is the new, the new twig The twig is new Well do you see a new? No Well then it's the same old twig Okay, so what are we going to do now? Where, what you want to wear That's what I do Oh, God's so nice I'm going to do this I'm going to do this I'm going to do this Oh, God's I have a bad feeling about all this Why? I know that we broke all of our faith packs but If my God... Oh no, what's going to happen now? I have my... Well, goblet and political science degree Just taught me anything that Now that we will figure it out one way or another And now especially that we've caused social unrest perhaps The I want to be surprised if the other hags notice something is up and they will claim vengeance Well, they won't even start trying to attempt vengeance But at least we can't be tortured magically Because of the pack So far, they're getting right She's going to have a tough time around here, man I mean, once we taught those, you know, the brigandox and the other guys They weren't actually supposed to be fighting each other I mean, they were like coming together She's going to have a tough time now that they're unifying or whatever it is Torbex opposes We have to think about that Apparent Legion of Unending death Mariamates But that's a problem for future us, right? No, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no And we have to think about how to solve that now so that future us Solved that problem Well, hopefully they can't fly I mean, problem solved How long can we stand the air? Oh, indefinitely, are you sure? No But you built it You installed those little ringscreen What's that sound? Oh, they're all in a cool demo I mean, it's always been a serious level in the atmosphere Or I mean, like the balloon might start freezing over but you know what? I mean, we're fine Don't go too high and we'll be able to plan from up here Yeah, don't go too high, okay Don't boss me now Yeah, don't boss me now Yeah, don't boss me now No, get it, fly us over to the brigandox Yeah, all right Oh, you never got a cord first and get Hootsie A Oh, that's what I meant And then we need to let him know that now there's a new big boss in charge If he survived, go mo And then they go And I think now we need to be using the local populaces As instruments of our will I don't know how to say it And I feel like we've tried to do too much peaceful negotiation at the soggy cord And I just think we need to disperve violent revolution So that all the hanks are deposed And what needs to pay close attention to Grico? He's the only one here with the political science experience Necessary to the design craft But you know what they say You know the best time to start a political revolution was 20 years ago The next best time is right now The time is now Sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry You have such a beautiful voice You think they're going to execute Brody Snake as Snake Jr? I don't want to be It's best being older than that Well, it's best if you're older Don't want to be older For all of us make a sign of every page I'm very confident that Glister and Gleam are clever and agile enough to have escaped I'm not worried about that I'm worried about Snake as Snake and Frosty I don't think our dear friend, Herly made it I don't think our new best mate made it Frosty It is the shame I will miss his antics I will miss his antics Oh yeah Well, hey, the goodness is The saddest part of those guys All we had to do was tell Berly that he was here You look down and you see Herly's clinging to the bottom of the flying circus Like all of the things All the things that were there We're all singing, we're singing that We're both singing I didn't account for all this weight, man The red bit is spitting it It's No, it's not Just kidding I just see it and then use my mind-hand to push it You never know, I don't have to Oh no, it's just limp If I had a nickel for every towel on this channel, we had a bug band-ing From a rope from an airship How'd that true, Nicholas? Oh, man Great Oh, man When you go back because I'm sure Hercy's wearing sick Is this still storming or do we stop this? Oh yeah You don't need a roll perception check for this to see this But the lightning that it has been being channeled from within these storm clouds used I would say from up here you can even see as you look down The clouds have dissipated It looks like the storm is slowly rolling out It's still overcast They're still thick but it's not what they had been As you look down you see the broken They're the broken cage Which had clearly been the cage of the unicorn And now that it's no longer housing it there The way the lightning has shot up and destroyed that one Tall copper poles sticking out of mother horn Now that is not being conducted in that way It was almost as if it was keeping the lightning And the storm cyclical and keeping it inside of yon But now that that has been destroyed The lightning is the storm is doing what any other storm would do And it is beginning to roll out And you see outside of the realm of prism here From up here it's this thick, roiling clouds Almost circling the parameter From where you are here You have such a high point of view that you can see Often to yon are often to hither, often to thither And you realize that your view here is way more clear than it had been even 30 minutes ago And you imagine it's going to take a few days for the storm to fully roll out But yeah, you do see that the storm has dissipated quite a bit As you're looking around what I'll say is you can see over in one area You can see the tall mountain with the circle of standing stones Where you know the corids to be And then you can't see much of what's going on there You do see some movement on top of the peak And then often in another direction Or then down in the valley you see the entrance to brigandok mines And then often another peak You actually see something that you'd never been able to see before Because it had always been obscured by the clouds But one of the peaks of one of the taller mountains is completely verdant Covered in beautiful bright, almost neon flowers Dotted all along the mountain are these huge lumps of honeycomb And at the very top what appears to be some sort of colony Almost a monstrous size geek colony You see these huge beekeeping houses And though you can't really see much of what's going on on the on the corids side They were very small You can very clearly see what looks to be a large, almost giant like creature Stomping around this plateau covered head to toe and beekeeping gear Do we see Hurley falling to his death? Or does it get hit by lightning on the way down? You know I would like you to follow it Following to his death when it occurs before he hits the wall Or the propeller is underneath us and so he falls It's a Titanic situation where he falls off It's a great point It's just a one-step It's a kind of like the main villain of that mission impossible film Where he holds the briefcase and leaps off and hits the car on his way down I never see mission impossible That was one of the super last ones I haven't seen anything after two of mine, I would say You do look towards mother horn and you see that mother horn seems to be a complete disarray There are people just why are you not playing music? Actually I'm sorry I should I didn't intend for that It was just for Hurley Yeah, the super was the pause for Hurley's death scene But you see people running from mother horn and you see bits of mother horn falling off And tumbling down the mountainside And though the storm clouds are rolling away from the rest of Yon You see that the ones that are around mother horn are swirling and darkening Almost as if they are trapped there and being enhanced magically She's taught inning her fist again Oh boy, this isn't good And so they only move Fifth Titanic Look, I would propose that we go to the honeycombs and perhaps emtipar will be there I know he's a freak but we can perhaps not He's not a real thing He had a lot of valuable magic, he seems to know everyone and is well liked by others He could help us rally, perhaps start to find some form of resistance I guess he didn't know the way to land pretty well We're gonna go get a hoots in first, right? Well no, we're gonna go back anyway If we're gonna kind of spoil a lot of revolution, we're gonna need some help It's a really freaky help You know what I mean I mean who else better to help us with our quest and an absolute fucking freak Besides the game master said that we were gonna really enjoy the name of the Cyclops like two years ago Why did you know it's from Wyme for some time For some time now For some time now Alright, I mean I can spin this thing over to the maze And as a thing remember in our visions and our dreams what the order he gave us We saw three different sprukey caves, the shards of NASA I mean the vocal sword And it doesn't have to pull no to whole place We might tell him oh hey there's this place He might not wear it exactly where it is He had one of his eggs up and we set out to forge the sword So we can go go on for a round He's one of our most knowledgeable companions And the strangest he is I think that he may be able to assist us But at what price? I really want to know When we get there there will be a hilarious improvisational race to see who gets to say I got plenty all over my life I'm gonna win man Fuck you fucking bear Let me show that it's my turn It's not my turn I got a little moment Places So we all get on the front of the ship with our legs out and we fly right in You will have the coolest and longest You do You guys got only all over his life You begin to navigate right towards the verdict mountain This podcast is brought to you by our Patreon Become a patron today at patreon.com Smash Legends of Aventress And gain access to tons of exclusive perks Including a monthly movie night And a weekly patreon exclusive campaign Set on the high seas Shroud over salt marsh You can also go to thecricodemoon.com To pick up your own copy of our first published supplement The Crooked Moon A folk horror tone for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition And don't forget to snag all the extra goodies Like dice, miniatures, plushies, a tarot deck, and more Thank you With Gideon at the helm You begin to fly the Almost called it the night circus, the flying circus Directly towards one of the higher peaks in yarn A verdant peak covered with bright flowers Large Large Golden honey cones And at the very top Just smattered with these giant beekeeping houses Walking all around them is this giant Like creature and a beekeeping outfit As he moves from one house to the next He holds a loft near as you get closer You can see this, he holds a large honey stick As he reaches in, pulls some honey and throws it into a barrel There are barrels dotting the ground that he's filling with this honey As he moves from one house to the next And this is what you see as you begin to fly in As you get closer you realize that in fact you do see Omdapur At the very center of this place there is a large downed log Absolutely massive And you see that there is a door carved into the side of it A small and arched door that's that's tinged onto it Small step mushrooms around the side And you can see the window with fluttering lace curtains Looking at it even from this distance you can tell that this must be the home Of this cyclops, the door is so large that he can go inside of this stump To find his home and in front of it is a roaring bonfire And sitting there in front of it is Omdapur He seems to be animated about something but you don't see anyone around him And he's so bonfire as the giant moves around and collects honey And it just seems to be talking to no one And that's what you see as you begin to descend to this cliff top Does it look from our vantage point like we would be able to sneakily approach? You imagine that all of this is facing you But if you were to go around the side you imagine you could come in around the back of the down stump And you would be able to come up on the back side of Omdapur You would come on the back side of Omdapur That's what I'm trying to say Get in I know what you're going to ask me to do for us I'm not sure how to strength to do it but here we go How loud is this vehicle? Yeah Generally you would imagine something like this to make a lot of noise But with Gideon's ability with fan-geneering he was able to put essentially Faye mufflers on this thing So you imagine that the sound there is still thunder and lightning The storm is still happening And he's like a kid Would be easily covered up by the sounds of just the environment around you Roger You're going to do the backside thing or what? I'm already I didn't hold spinning thing I made a little bit of the noise And now we're doing what we're doing right back You can just sneak into the If you make fun of that, it's all right It's just fun to do I'm going to get it in red now I looked up and I saw someone's name was his favorite venom And I thought it said fart venom And I'm like what's on one of those That's what you're supposed to do That's what you're supposed to do The bowl toy I definitely fly the flying circus to whatever spot I find that I think Frost is talking about that we can kind of approach Modern stealthily so we can land You easily maneuver the flying circus around And you pull up towards the back of this large mountain top That he's that this cyclops has made his home on And you are able to find a spot that is not hindered by Large honeycombs or Or these beekeeping houses or anything like that It's just this It plays that you feel like you can easily Dock the night circus or the flying circus in the glass It's a book There's a book on the night circus That's what I think of the whole time I just didn't know what you were referencing No, no, that's all it is And it's a okay bucket with mid It's a fine book But yeah, you're able to do that It's still locked and still flying You don't put it down on the ground But you're able to anchor it in a way that's attached to the side And you can drop a rope ladder down And all of you are capable of descending Well done, I think we're parked And I don't think that we've been detected That's me That seems so far Time to head out Checking on Amazon It's so cool Look at that goddess beekeeping star Now we have to understand The last person that we talked to Said that that large gentleman Was a bit of a villain And so you need to be careful He does look about us Look at him Just for total context The guy who told us that the big guy was evil First came off like he was kind of a cool hero guy And then you know He started drinking for her Territory and so It coins really up in the air right now We're not sure who to trust is my point So beyond your guard either way Oh man, I don't trust anyone That's why Now you're learning You should write it in your set on a pillow You should cross and stitch that on a pillow Oh, could I sell it for a lot of money? Probably a small amount of money Then it cost me to make the pillow I'm clear Oh, I mean A little thing like that Do you call well the farmer's market? Yeah I mean, what do you want? What do you sell a bunch of farmers? No, that's you're thinking of the goblin market Are they so candy? Yeah I've never been there But they have so candy They're way down the road You coming quick? Are you going to stay up here? Well, you know I just was But I can't want to Come on now Come on now No, he looks like a flower This is very important I know he looks like a flower Do you not sniff him He looks like a giant No, I'm going to try one other guy Perfect He looks like a potential purer We're all suspicious that he might be a pooper We don't have any evidence But Sansi, he has his bee, this bee wife Who he says he has really hot sex with And we are starting to think that it's just a bee And not like a rude No, it's really a fake man He's really a rude man He may have been a kid now Oh, no Okay, well that's really interesting How much so that Get in if I run off this thing Will you catch me from the ground? Well, no, I'm standing right now If you do it right now, no No, no, no, you get on the ground And then I'll run back there And then I'll just fly off and then you catch me Oh, yeah, sure Yes Look, you're just recently alive again Do we really want to tempt fate on this? Yeah All right, sit yourself Oh my god, yes Okay, come back All right Twig, yeah All right, I'm coming And you watch as she runs back And then you hear nothing for the longest time And he really makes me feel better And he makes Twig And he does this now so far Okay, go! And then she runs, leaps off And as she hits midair You see her raise her arms out And I can see your leg. Oh, perception jack. It's a good question. This observation is your one action. You won't be able to catch her. You've blown your way. Oh, yes. 19. Oh, yeah. You can easily see your leg and you can see a scar where you imagine that. Oh, man. That was not just exposed though. It's a pretty gnarly scar. Is it like, does it look like scar over missing muscle? Or does it look like the whole chunk is there and it's like scar over? It looks like there's missing piece. Okay, got it. Oh, my gosh. Oh, sorry. I got distracted. You hit the ground. No, no. Oh, you're out of culture. Yeah, no, that was really cool you want to do it again. No, I think we got to get down before. Just one more time. No, we will land again. We do this every time we land. Every time we land we do. I was hoping that after I came back from from death, you wouldn't still be such a bitch and she's going to start walking towards the target. Okay, we just called you a bitch. Let's see, you called you a bitch. She looks right at you. She turns around. She puts her hands on her hips. Just because you're too weak to catch me a second time because you got that bloody old muscles doesn't mean you need to blame stuff on broth. Get stronger. Shut up. That's why I don't muscle anymore. She calls you a bitch. She calls me a vampire. It's all false. No, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. You don't drink my blood. Never. No, no, no. You're thinking of something else. Almost god then too. I think you murdered those guys in cold bloodforce. Yeah, I'm not a bearer. I'm in a muck in the my eye. Yeah. And I'm out of tune. And then you told me I was going to become the Empire and I never did. I don't think I proved it. And do you think about those people's families? No, you don't. You're ruthless, you're cold. You have no soul. Yeah. That's one of the things I like most about you. No, Frosty is a soul. You should have, he's the softest kitty cat online. Oh, how? You should have seen him with our new best mate, Hurley. He was so supportive and kind and very gentle with Hurley when he was having a rough old Tom of it. But, but, but, but, they're parsed on how souls are ready to bat in their book once. That's true, man, because I'm not, I'm, I have a soul, everything's fine. Come and get you, what, get you, get you, get you, get you, where are, whatever, can we just go talk to this pervert? No, Twitt, cut him some slack. He has a deep length, it complex and tragic backstore that explains all that. I would know anything about it, because he's never told me anything about him. Well, man, just with you. Just you wait. Just you hold on to your head. Is it Paige Turner? Well, can you tell me about his backstore? Well, because it's not all place, it's simply no town. We got to go. No, we got to go. Oh, oh, oh, oh. The baby, little one. And with that, you make your way around this large house. You see that it is, it's beautiful. There are, it's covered in flowers and moss. It's gigantic. And you're even able to peek into one of the windows. And you can see what is very clearly a, a small well kept, or a large well kept cottage. It's barely, it's barely a one room space for this giant, but it would fit everything they need. And you're able to make your way around the side. And you see that Amdipur is sitting there. He's sitting on top of a, it's a ring of toldstools around this fire. And he's sitting on one of them. And you imagine that at one point he'd been, but he thought that he was talking to nothing, but you realize that Polonella is right next to him, incredibly large. And then all around him are just swarms of bees that he seems to be talking to you animatedly. Let's get to the bottom of this. All right, and satrabillion and all that, right? Oh, okay, I guess that's me. Oh, if it isn't me, old pal Amdipur. Oh, by Joe, is that you, Grickham? Oh, by Golly, it is. Oh, come and have a seat. What are you doing here? Oh, it's us, it's the lads. Come and meet the ladies. Oh, how do you say it like that? Hello, ladies. What are you doing? The bees begin to sway around you. They seem to be, they should be quite smart. They're buzzing around you occasionally. They swirl together and at one point they all come together and board the words, hello, with the next formation. Oh, wow. That's the knife, my name. Oh, hello. That's awesome. These are your friends? Oh, well, yes, they are. Holy no, those kids, so they are family. Oh, okay. How's Paul and Ella doing? Oh, she's doing well, so happy to be home to see the rest of her family, especially in such good times. Oh, yeah, about that. I see there's a big cyclops over there. Oh, yes, mud lump. Oh, mud lump. Mud lump. Oh, charming. We don't really have time to deal with him right now. What do you mean deal with? I've already accomplished what needed to be accomplished. Washing you broke a piece between the corids and the brigandox really inspired me. Maybe what was preventing this relationship from fully flourishing was some good conversation and honesty. So when I made my way up here, I endeavored not to fight the cyclops, to try to understand the cyclops. I showed him the love between me and Paul and Ella, a front row seat to our love. And he was able to see that we are interest aligned. But he wants to keep the bees happy and to do so they must have a fertile queen. And then I want nothing more than to keep Paul and Ella happy. And her place is really here and we've we've quite the loving family now. Gosh, I thought you could have seen people all the time. Why don't you and all the attention? Oh, so is he not mad that you took Paul and Ella on the first place? It's a big thing. Oh, I got me. I got me good. I don't know. I'm having a positive sense of peace. He's a bit of a ducky ducky. Oh, man. Ducky ducky. I was trying to keep it in. So where the things stand now? Is he just chill? What happened? I'm sleeping on a small little cot inside the house. Paul and Ella and I are working on our own little high. I'm going to reside in there very close to my love. Yes, and my lump is still the ruler of this place in terms of the life. Oh, he does own this hilltop and the bees and the bees love him, honestly. They take such good care of them. I might have been a little bit I might have been a little hasty in my hatred for him. But he loves does do something to a man. Oh, yep. I'm glad that you were able to sort things out. As am I. Well, I guess it's good that Paul and Ella was able to find a nice provider in mud love and find true excitement at the end of the day. Well, she really does. She really does take care of me. Well, I know. Such cases. If I can speak frankly with my friends, I think I would have died a horrible death if I had gotten into a fight with his Cyclops. Oh, it's incredibly love. You see that gas? I rested the hill with Paul and Ella in my gentle embrace and I came face to shin with this man and I realized I was at a severe disadvantage. He probably would have just stamped you out like a hundred fire ants. He was very angry to see me back. But Paul and Ella was able to broker a very gentle piece at least from one evening and it was in that evening that we came to an accord. Okay. Does he even hear the things he's saying? I'm right there. No, you can't. Absolutely can't. That's all lovely. That's all I'm good. Oh, it is. It's really. I am glad. Nothing makes him angry than a threat to his bees. And for a time, I was a threat to his bees. Of course not now. I would never be a threat to Paul and Ella. I'm so harmless. Well, Gregor was here to tell you. A gentle lover, she says. Gregor was here to tell you about a threat. Not just to the bees, but to mud lump and see yourself. We have dire news. Oh, no, you would not come to this cliff top and bring bad news. Unfortunately, we must. Unfortunately. I would like for you to not do that. We're living peacefully here for a time. We're living peacefully here for a time. I know how to do that. It's more than a hammer. Well, maybe we could spend one evening enjoying each other's company. We're the seven that's happy meeting each other. We have a lot of places to go, people to see. We have to go to the room with 40 other people. Yeah. You're the first one unless, okay. I'm just going to give it to you. You know, why a good friend once told me something to start with me? Give it to me straight, rat boy. I'm going to, I'm going to, rat boy is going to give it to you. I'm for him. Oh, right. I know that we taught you the value of hashing it out and like peaceful resolution. Yes, it's it. Forget all that. Oh, we're doing the opposite now. So you would like me to do you plan new plans? New plan. No, no, no, no, no. No, not the side. No, no, no, no, no, no. Like he's cool. I mean, what would you, we're staging bloody coos in all of the provinces against three. What on earth is this? How's this throwing on? Oh, he's got some great throwing on him. Well, maybe he can help. He's the weakest of the rest of the Cyclops beneath the mountains, but... How many times? Look, a lot of cyclops. Cyclops? Oh, I believe so. Don't trust Gregio on this. He's one of the south. There are thousands of Cyclops. Oh, he's an army. That's the thing already. That might be it. Do you think that mud lump has sway over these other Cyclops? They're all with their family. If it weren't for mud lump and what he does, they would not be supplied these many burials of honeymoon. If there was an existential threat to the bees, the mountains, the very state of prism here, could these Cyclops be rallied by mud lump? Somebody says mud lump. There I am. Mud lump is quite a gentle soul, but the rest of the Cyclops, you wouldn't want to get involved with them there. They're quite bloodthirsty, and they haven't had a good kill in many years. That's excellent. That's great. You want to see their thirst for blood. The heads are coming. The heads are going to war. They're going to try and take over all prism here with legions of crazy Mary and Edson, probably frogs and maybe a little big. Yes, they've got tons of Mary and Ed. They'd be like fire ants to the Cyclops. I see. They're like more than a hunter. More than a hunter. More than a hunter. Been and a blade on the bottom. How does it count the manionettes that when he step on them, they're going to run up their legs. And then they're going to try to be getting them off. They're going to try to get them off. They're going to be all full of them. The fight. No, they're going to start getting chopped on in the Cyclops. They're going to bleed out. There's no way that the Cyclops are going to die with us. You can't do it! You can't do it! I imagine if there was the opportunity for death and destruction they would be in. Ex- Oh, that's great. Do you think I hate the Asseless? Do you think that we can like extra-dotted? Do you think you can just re-light everything? I can't explain you yet. I'm low. And then have you relate to the Asseless? You need us to roll with you. We cannot stress that we have to do this. There's a lot more to go. Yes, a lot more to go. Do you have a date in which you need them to mobilize and wear off the head? We need to, often, in 24 hours' time, we initiate the coup across all three provinces of Prismia. That's what I'll fake. A unified attack so that none of the Hacks can collude as much as they hate each other. And we're all taking bar surprise. Well, I don't understand half of this. But if what you're saying is that I need to convince mudlump to rally all of his Cyclops brethren into a vicious act of death and destruction against all of the Hacks? Yes, so I mean, if the Sunclopes spread out across Prismia, Well, let's not small and focus on motherhood. No, no, no, no. If they are able to mobilize earlier and have a bit of a rumbling situation. Good, why couldn't they just contact the other Cyclops in the other domain? The Sunclopes in the other domain? The Swamp Clops in Hither. Swamp Clops? Oh, man. First, a great idea coming here first. Yes, you're really small. And here we go, that's the Crater Clops along the beach. Oh, my God. I don't believe people can afford it. Beach is nice. No, I haven't had a fecal passing in many years. Can I insert the key? Or take it down. I should be strong. 100% efficient, sis. He's a nice and sweet. Crazy. I guess he's telling us really well. Oh, but that's not me. This is a serendipitous news indeed. That's good to have been any better. Look, just go over to Monclomp and ask him, is it really worth forging swords into plowshairs if they must be forged back to swords on the morn? Such a beautiful thing. What? This is the most well-spoken viscrine. Thank you. We got to say that to like four or more people though. So I can't wait to make the magic of the gathering called into a saying. That's better, buddy. Okay. All right, well, I would be more than happy to at least attempt to do this for you. I can't want to guarantee success. You have to guarantee it. For Polynell's going to be dead. Everyone's going to die. You do, death, threaten her. I'm not threatening her. The eggs are threatening her. You're threatening her. You're threatening her. You don't make this happen. I cannot control the clops. We're not asking you to. But we are asking you to tell them of the threat the same way that we have told you about the threat. And I will, and if there is anything that can be done to mobilize the clops, I will do what I can. I can't control the clops. I'm not going to say anything about that. I don't think I'll do anything. We've been over this. It may not go well. I can't do it again. Some of them are. Oh, no. Well, actual cyclops. What an nightmare. As long as mudlump. Yes. As long as mudlump is able to communicate and they are having enough of a organization hierarchy to like form ranks and like struck at the same time. If they can, they can contact each other on their rocky tokens. Oh, okay. Well, the side ones don't just kind of connect them in a big brain. They got a great telecom infrastructure. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. I'm going to be like a man in the audience. I'm going to be like a man in the audience. So, if you can convey all that to my lump, I'm sure it's a lovely bloke. We just don't have time to meet him. I think you would love him. I think you would love him. Oh, you would love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. We'll learn later that my lump is much as father. How did you get? I just, you know, I had a feeling. I had a feeling. Okay. And then we also need your help as well. We'll have a helmet. I help a second time. You know every inch of Prismia doesn't it? I was gonna be more epic about it, but she's good. Oh, yes, I've heard the stories. We need to find a free way. Oh, good luck on that. Special coves about it. And we don't know where they is. Well, I can only think of one cove. And that's the cove along the coast in the city. Carving is fair, they're all in. Carving is cove. Only one cove though. Well, only one magical cove. There are some boring. I show it with a cove, not like a cave. No, no, no. Only one was a cove. The other one was more of a cave, deep beneath a mountain, against like a mystical bridge. Like through tunnels, perhaps carved by things that Tom forgot. Oh, the star lost cave. Oh, that's the same. Deep within a brick and oak mine. Oh, we gotta go. We've been there. We've been there. We've been there. But we have a derigable. Yes. OK. And then the other one was caught on like more of like a mud home like at the bottom of a well. Oh. So we know those whales? You know, yes. But then there are willowisps in the swamp. Oh, in the first place. Yes. Yeah, remember there was like a, almost in the rock pond during that. You're thinking of the weeping well. Oh, yeah, we've been there too. Yeah. So we need to go find the the the the the the the shards of the blade where it was broken and we shall one. Do you think the pieces of the verbal blader and those very magical places across Prisma? Yes. And for real. I mean, I'm a great salt and a dream. Very magic. It was a dream from the King of Hearts. I mean, from the King of Hearts. He's the leader of this whole realm. He's the most powerful man in the universe. Oh, wow. Thank you. Come on, be a snappy dress. Well, he seems to be all right. He's pretty powerful. He looks very powerful. Wait, you know what I would love. Just a dollop of my sweet honey's honey polymer. Yes. Oh, do we have to? I mean, can you do that after we? Oh, I know what's happening. Let's have a look away, Twig. You don't want to partake. And what? You see that? You see that Twig is sitting next to Paulinella and she's just chatting away. Yeah, that really happened. No. He didn't know. No. What? Well, how can I help? Oh, I've read about something like that and one of my dirty books. Yeah. It's that big. No, what if you don't let him go? He was so happy to meet. What if I don't let him go? That's what I think of moment. I'm taking it. You took me, now. Wait. Thank you, Ridickey for that. Yeah, you're welcome. Thank you, Darren, for joining in. My pleasure. Thank you for the yes, Andy, on that. Oh, my gosh. And that's all we're going. We should have. Yeah. No, we're going to have to bring us to partake in the honeydum. But it seems like you already made a good friend. Yeah, no, I love Paulinella. I think Thurne and Big Tony were good along really well. Where is Big Tonylla? Oh, she's. She's dead. No. No. She's just flat around. She's flat around. She's doing big stuff, you know? She's in the summer cold with folks at TavaVar, right? Well, that guy was kind of creepy. Wait, that guy was creepy and you're like chilling with Andapur. Oh, my gosh. You should hear the things Paul knows that about him. Andapur, if we're looking for another wife, you know what I find me. Whoa. Didn't see that. I don't see myself ever looking for another wife. But I will. I will keep that in mind. Thank you. Boom. Oh, my name's Twig. But you can call me Twig. All right, well, I think it's time for you to go. Yes. So I guess you don't need to come with us, then, I? All right, well, Steve. That would be well. No, no, no, no. You're so beautiful. Yeah. So we should be able to find it. Could you give us directions, then, at least? To land. To the coast. No, Twig. I'm talking about it. No, I'm going to give it to the coast. Oh, well, which coast? Well, you're headed to. You're headed to Siddharth. And then you're headed to the moment you're assuming you're flying in on that very loud, ridgeable that you have. I don't know if they're in the jungle. I'm getting in love with it. Yeah, man. I don't want to. You're quite loud in the hearth, into the beach. All right, the important thing. And I'm assuming you're flying in on that. And if you do, you'll see the sea immediately. There are beaches aligning it. And right along when you're entering, and then the beaches are there, and then the sand, and then why they'll be a cove there. OK. That sounds quite the big. Correct. Right. Well, you're well, you know, it'll be there. But there, I'm falling out of, please. Please, don't try it now, honey. Oh, yes, yes, yes, I mean, there should be a trail of clam shells, noister shells, leading straight to the coast. Well, the clam shells, noister shells. I believe both. They could be muscle shells. I'll never forget this, please. They could be crab shells. Oh, that was very fun. I'm trying to get my favorite fish. Mine too. Yeah. Delicorous. Thanks. Lucky for animals. I'm much more into fish. Yeah, me too. Me too. Not nanoliter. No, no. Just crab and wing. Good thing you saw a fish. Fish. OK. Well, and, Paul, thank you for helping us unleash the rumbling across Prismia. I hope it was not tremendous enough. Collateral damage. But if there is, can't be helped, can't be helped. Unmovable. But if it's going to protect Polinella, then we will do what we must. Before we go, it looked like Frost was eager to try some of Polinella's honey. Oh, would you like to try Polinella's honey? She can squirt it directly into your mouth. It's all staring frost while it happens. I don't know if you knew this, but he loves bees. Oh, do. Oh, yeah. I'm going around. Thank you, Kremmy. Oh, yeah. Well, open wide. She's coming in. And you watch as Polinella darts towards one of the houses and grabs a cylinder of what is very clearly honey. And she squirts it into your mouth with her tiny little beams. It is the most delicious honey that you've ever tasted in time. It's actually fantastic. Is that good? No, that's unbelievable. It is. It is. It is unbelievable. And you realize that you feel. It is unbelievable. You feel powerful, like you're benefiting from a hero's feast. Yeah, I'm not your manager. Oh, my mouth. Oh, what is he doing, honey? He's either a hunter or a bee. Can I go next? You would like royal jelly? Wait, has that done from butter? Royal jelly. Royal jelly. I hear about to get baited and swiss. Whatever he is. Well, he's just had a little bit. Let me tell you what he's doing. I guess we'll all take it ahead of him. He's going around. Well, from open mouth to open mouth, squirt her royal jelly deep inside your mouth. As in the squirt cup, I tripped. Oh, yeah, honey, all of my legs. Oh, yeah, honey, all of my legs. Damn it, we all forgot. We all forgot. We all forgot. We all forgot. The crammy never friggin' hence me. Crammy never friggin' hence me. Crammy never friggin' hence me. I just had it from. Tim, slags press. I'll just, oh, that is divine, huh? I'm assuming they all enjoy your feast. Yeah, even twig, twig enjoys some of our jelly. We all enjoy resistance to poison damage. We have immunity to the frightened and poison conditions. Oh shit. Hitpoint maximum increased by 2D10. Wow. The same number of hit points. So that's six stuffings roll 3D10 is big. I will roll 2D10 for you, except for I don't have any dice so can someone pass the test. What's that? How long does this last? I think it's 24 hours. Yeah. I will hand you some dice since I find them in my packets. And I will say, when the sake of the friendship, even though you think he's a pervert, on to poor feels a kinship with you. And so before you leave, he hands you a small honey pot filled with Polinella's royal jelly. And it's enough for each of you to enjoy two more dollops of honey. And he tells them each. And so to use them. Oh, yeah. We got a smation jaw full of it. Oh. Oh, never mind. That's a two, not an actual. Oh. 12. 12 to our max HP. Wow. The max HP. And then we also heal. I can't believe he gave me two like D100 back. Max HP's the A on a 5. This is the closest thing I had there were. The second roll, the second roll was 210s. That would have been nice. Wow. That really was delightful. Thank you, Paul. Yeah, I'm so glad. I'm glad you're here. If it had not been for you and our traveling together and you being so kind to me, I never would have been able to mend the relationship that I had with my mom. And I don't know if you can see but Polinella is so happy to be home. Good, man. I mean, entirely unintentional, but I'm glad, glad I'm glad for you guys. Glad I was happy, though. We don't mention it. And you have something to protect now. Home, family. Everything that you've built here and that mud lump is built. That impressed that upon him and his people. This is dire, existential. I lie, we'll try. Thank you. And just say, death to tyrants, that'll settle with them up. Not sure who knows the word, tyrants, but they'll get the meaning. I think I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Well, would you like to say for the night do we play a round? We got to go. What a beautiful tree. Too easy to go on the other side. But we're out of here. Gruntsy. Can't actually have it. Can we take the loop and show you? No, that is my game. Very good. Well, I don't share any wings. Welcome to the revolution. To the revolution. To a prism here, a polinella is safe always. Exactly right. To the revolution. Unfortunately, I am a gendeline, and I am unable to do this thing you're doing it, y'all. You're doing it in spirit. I am. And you notice that all the bees swarm around and make a hand and start doing the grico hand movement. That thing, he always does. And frisional. Yeah, there we go. OK, goodbye. Goodbye. Safe travels. Back to the bar. Flying circus, man. Flying circus. Dude, it's honey struck. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER And with that, you make your way back up to the... Almost of the jungle circus this time. We're all over the place. So much. The flying circus. Flying circus. The flying circus. And you lift off into the air to head, where you're heading to next. OK. Well, Grico, you got all those spots, man. Just pick from this list and we'll go straight there. OK, we're going to go get Hootsie from the... the corns. Hoot-hoot. Yeah, we should grab her before that whole rumblin thing happens. That's how it's like. Oh, yeah. That's pretty boring. Yeah. If the rumbly happens, I don't want Hootsie to be part of the collateral. I don't know. The problem is he's even going to still exist. Man, I hope they haven't already taught her King's gamut at whatever it's called. LAUGHTER Oh, I don't think I can afford all that to get higher in the structure and put in King's gamut. You don't start by the time you're ready. You're already fine. Yeah, it's crazy. And she has like paws instead of opposable thumbs. Yeah. OK, onward to the cornet here. You were getting so used to flying the flying circus that you were able to gently lift it to the air. At this point, you notice a significant difference in the cloud coverage. It has cleared significantly. And you are immediately able to lock eyes on the hill where the corns, where their circle of stones is. And you begin making your way directly towards it. It does not take too long before you're finally there. There really isn't a spot for you to enter this place in secret. But you are friends with the corns. So that really isn't a concern for you. As you pull the, as you pull the dirigible up close, at first, you notice some of the corns rush towards you. Rocks in hand, ready to throw them at you. Before they realize who you are, and instead they drop the rocks and begin to jump and shout, you see that Hootsie is sitting at the chest table with our gauntlet and they are playing a fierce game against each other. Is it in universe getting for the name for this game? I can't remember, but I'm calling it chess now. I immediately raise forward to observe the non-jess. You dismount and you rush towards the game. What a fucking nerd. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. We have a bunch of freaking one again. Oh. I'm never going to win this game with her. Hootsie's been beating you? Every single time. And you were a talented, well done. Well done, Hootsie. Good job. I'm sorry that you were losing, but. It's like she can see every move I'm going to make her make the leap for a make it. Hootsie, we're back. Hootsie! Hootsie! You're a love hootie. Run and try the hardest. She actually started. The moment she realizes you're there, she leaps up knocking over the stone board, carry the stone game. Our gauntlet doesn't seem to mind it all as Hootsie rushes. Oh, you're standing. She's standing in my arms. Is she not like front-times bigger than me? She has. Oh, go see. She's gotten bigger since the last time you saw her. But she tumbles into you all a couple of times. As she gently pecks at your hair, and at your not hurting you in any way. She's so giving you little tiny nips of affection. Oh, Hootsie. She coots into the air of this sound of absolute joy and love. Gosh, Hootsie, I'm so glad that you're here. You're OK. I guess it's OK that you're learning crowns if that's what you're passionate about. Oh, yeah, that's what I was talking about. I'm glad that you missed all of it. The crown had happened in the months. There were some foes. Oh, the scheming unit. I was a king. It was not me. Not meant for your eyes. Oh, my God. You guys are playing crayons. What? They're playing crayons. What? Cranes? Cranes. Cranes. Cranes. Cranes are playing crayons. Cranes. Cranes. Cranes. Cranes. It's you saying crayons? Yeah, crayons. Are you referring to this game? Yeah. Wait, wait. I'll go on to wrap down the name of this game. She writes it down. C-R-O-W-N-S. Oh, thank goodness. Cranes. Yes. Cranes. That's crazy. Yeah, you're playing crayons. This word says crayon. Yeah, crayons. Oh. Well, anyways, enough about your stupid games. Look, you're better crayons, do you, aren't you? He's terrible. Yeah, me too. You would know. I think I'd be real good if I tried. You want it to be good. I don't know about that, Cranes. No, you don't know. I don't think I'm disciplined to let the game go. Look, look, I don't care about that. I just care about the freedom of the people of this here province, and you know, and I need you to know that. Is there a problem? We have bothered in alliance. It's time for us to kill the Brick and Ox. No, no, no. Oh, no, we take all that pregnant. We take all that back. I don't suck anymore. No, they're on your side. They hate the amblen as much as you do. It's going to come in a huge surprise, but they feel exactly towards Mother Horn, what you feel. They are aligned in every respect. They explain to me how they've sent someone up there to make all of our contraptions. Well, he was in prison. He was locked in a lantern, and he was forced to make schematics and like develop things. He wasn't doing it at all his own free will. She had people. Brick of Witnesses final moments. He expressed extreme regret. It wasn't them that did this. It was no malicious intent. If you just spoke with each other, you would see that you are allies. But what would be the point of doing all this? Why would be a reasoning? Well, you see when tolerance are worried about the consequences of the people which they govern over, it's much easier to not let your constituents realize that they're more powerful and numerous than you. So they concoct schemes in order to divide the people against each other so they don't turn their eye towards the ones actually in control. So they'd like to so discord. And although that most people could far calm and ground and agree on things and learn to love each other, it's easier to divide them around things that don't really matter so they hate each other and you stay in control. And every year it goes by that voice group constraints, taught in a title. So are you trying to say that she wants us to fight them so we won't fight her? That's exactly right. Yeah, that's right. What was things to go? Not even really a cool decision. Violent revolution. Do you want in? You want us, for rallying the troops to fight against Mother War. Yeah. Alongside the Brighanox. Yeah. Alongside the Brighanox. And some cyclops. I think you'll fight. Oh, yes. And they won't just be them. There will be these. And the mountain horizon. Oh, and the coral and the swan. Yeah. Any other terrain you can take. Oh, and the clumps are on. Even the side of the clumps. They're built differently. Yeah. And the little clumps of rods are going to say, get out of my swan. Trunk clumps. Even that one extremely rare cops clop. Oh, what? A cop is a small circle of trees. Oh. Oh, for us, yeah. I don't know you, as an operator. I think I cut maybe 10 or 20 instances of that word in the trailer. And we had to nuke everything when we thought. Model 1 as a tree. As a tree. I'm sorry. I'm going to have to go back and control that CDF. However, however, the rumbling is happening. It cannot be stopped. We've set something in person. There are exactly two instances of the word cops in the crooked man. Oh, that's true. Two is the idea of a tree. One is in a description for the monastery grounds. Yep, yep. I remember that one. The other one. There's the other one. The other one is in Bat Hounds, Kennell. A cops of dead trees surrounds the stable. Oh, it's a written description and a spoken word. Oh, yeah. A written description. It's a spoken term. It's a spoken term. It's a spoken term. It's a spoken term. It's a spoken term. No, it's not a different page. It's two centimeters. The word appears twice, but it's referring to the same. The same cops. Yeah. So, um, uh, so we've, wherever we lock it or not, we started something that we can do a longer stop and control. Uh, so all we can say is your enemy is not with your neighbors. It's with the evil haguets in control. Yeah. And you know what they say? The tree of freedom is the best order with the butt of tolerance and all that. I already said that to Annapur, what you want here for that? I'll probably, you know, for the sake of brevity, I'll feel like we should broke a piece. And then you should probably state your bloody coup once the cyclops go fucking crazy. And we march on Mother Horn and we take our hair back. We take our lives back and we take your back. And you feel the ground begin to rumble on your feet. And all of the stones and the standing stones around you, you watch as Corrid after Corrid appears out of them. Shale and many other stone types. Business and not any other stones. I have them in my head. But they've gone now. We've got stones. And they all up here and around you are hundreds upon hundreds of Corrid's marching to Queen Argonthal's side. You didn't need to say much. I already trusted you. Wow. We're friends. Well, I agree. And if you say we have to march on Mother Horn and that we can trust the Brighanox, then I believe you. Well, it's really cool that you summoned all these guys, but just so you know this is happening in 24 hours. Oh, we'll go back to bed, brother. They're going to meet the Brighanox and we're going to go now. Oh, we're going to go now. Just the head. Oh, we're going to have these joggers. I'm going to go into the same place. Let's see how it goes. What are we going to do? Let's get rid of them. I'm going to go back in. I'm going to go back in. I'm going to go back in. I'm going to go back in. I'm going to go back in. The bandits have been called. She calls them back 14 or 15 times and eventually you're surrounded by a bunch of Corrid's as they prepare to march down the mountain and head towards the entrance of Brighanox. You don't have like a lot of torches. You can lie it. They'd run down the mountain into the torches. They'd pull a torch out of their satchels and get ready to light it with a piece of sling. No, no, no. Gideon is talking about a way to light the path. Not that you will hold this torch. Yeah, I'm talking about like, say you lie to torches and then somebody else lies another one that's good as torches all the way down and then they see it and they're like, Oh, the Brighanox. Oh, the Brighanox. Oh, the Brighanox. Oh, yeah, but there is now. She's still upset. Oh, yeah. She's still upset. Her fists or she slams her fists into the ground and one of the Brighanox, one of the Corrid's, one of the larger ones rushes over to a brazier on top of one of these standing stones, one towards the center and lights it. And you see as one on the mountain elsewhere lights and they begin to light and you hear the sounds of horns trumpeting throughout y'all. Wow, that is so inspiring. That's my power, everyone. That's good. I'm always not that powerful. Corrid's cold rain. Oh, well done. And the Brighanox will answer. My knees are haunted by the water. So I can say in proximity. Okay, get in, you've got to fly through that mud. Good luck. I hope we don't all crash and die. I go out the side handle into the into the blimp. Like your mom's driving. Wait, before I go. I think that the last thing we need to complete this violent revolution is maybe some of those gems. You got me left. It's hard. I don't know. I feel like seven or eight maybe. Once all of this is set and done, I'll give you some more time. Oh, we don't have time now. We don't have time. Oh, no, that's just not allowed. That's just not allowed. That's not allowed. All right, back to the flying circus. Come on, Hootsie. Come on, Hootsie. Come on, Hootsie. Let's go and see. That was so cool. Okay, Hootsie. Oh, get up there. Remember to buckle up. And I'm presuming there's like a bendy seat. Yeah, I'm just like, oh, yeah. I'm going to do all this. This, this, this, this is a little helmet. Okay, Hootsie. Or the goggles come down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's goggles. Yeah. I know that you're varying the crowns. She's a little 80-avieter scarf. Oh, you're so cute. And I know. And if you choose to be really in the crowns, I will support you 100% in a way. I'll even find you a coach or whatever. But, I've been saving this for years. I finally believe you're old enough. I've been saving this since government college. I don't want to reach out. I'm going to pull out like this crinkly with metal, like wrapper, like, you know, package. This is called a booster package. Awesome. The scatter. I want you to open it and see how it makes you feel and think if dumb old crowns can make you feel like that. It's a coming of age. No, no. And Hootsie, Hootsie, open that. She rips the pack. And the first card she pulls out is incredibly shiny and almost glows with a rainbow light. And on it, you see two out of 75. No, it's. She tosses it into the wind and it flies away. Is that a good one? Wait, I don't know, it's in the home. It was a serialized card and you only saw it for a second. And she tosses it away. Not really sure what to do with these. And she pulls one card after another. This is the best booster pack that's ever been opened. Every single card is rare. And as she pulls it out, she tosses it out for the next one. And she'll finally getting down to the wrapping at the end as she throws it into her mouth and swallows. What was that all about? Neo would be rolling in his grave if he was dead right now. I got this a booster pack. Oh, this is when they started to do all those cheap tines. This is the Gulfields of France. I don't believe you, T. OK, well, you know what, that's OK. Maybe you're a little older. All right, I ain't going, everybody's going to be a bumpy ride. You know, I always like the Austin Pig Commander. I always thought he was quite nice. Anyway, I enjoyed it. You maneuver the flying circus down into the galley between the mountains as you plummet towards where you remember the door to Brignock Mine being. And you know that this is a door that is openable only by wishes. But you feel like you know exactly where it is. And you don't have time to wish. You hope against hope that this is as strong as you think it is as you push a button and a shield, a sparkling shield erupts around the flying circus as you barrel into the door. And you at first, it feels like it is not going to give. But eventually the stone shatters and you barrel directly into the caverns in Brignock Mine. And you begin making the twists and the turns through tight turns into the space. You occasionally hit buttons, not quite sure what they do. The manual was in a language you didn't fully understand, but you have such a strong knowledge of fan-generating that all you really needed were to look at the schematics. And so you begin cranking buttons and you see one that has a small figure and a large figure and you say, well, we'll just give it a shot. You hit small and the drijable and everything inside of it shrinks and is able to begin navigating through some of these tight turns. And as you come out into these wide caverns, you hit the larger icon and you get bigger and you're able to move through them faster and more easily. Eventually, shrinking yourselves down again as you make the turn into the housing area for the Brignock. And you see immediately that they are all in the small town area that you spent a night in. And that goal, though, is there in the very center of the town sitting with the smaller Brignock people? I'm not sure. But I think that's the only way to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance to get the chance The side of this rocky pillar that you're able to climb out on and meet up with the Brighanox. Oh, look at that, it's my old friends! Hi! Oh, hey! You know me, I'm Ratboy. I just don't look like... I'm not a Ratboy. I recognize that voice anyway. Hey, Gomo. Good to see you. Good to see you. Did you accomplish your task? Yeah, we did. We did a uh, did a... We glister and gleam, executed. Huh? Glister and gleam? Did they do the make it out? I don't know. Oh, well... What did they not live with you now? Oh, I guess so. Oh, they haven't come back yet. They dropped me off when they picked up that toy yours. That's terrible. Uh-oh. So, they has anybody come out of... My room? No, why would they? Uh-oh. Where? Oh, no, you have band-news tell to me straight, Ratboy! What have we done? So, um, we're starting a revolution. We are uniting the courage and the Brighan-Narks, uh, in 24 hours time, uh, you and, and the courage, and, uh, all the Brighan-Narks, and apparently all the cyclists across prison, are going to revolt, and our rage, uh, and you're going to storm, um, um, uh, so the tree thing, so the tree thing. Oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, water on the tree, and something? Oh, the, uh, the, the tree of freedom is best water, but it's a tolerance. Oh, there you go. So, and so forth. It's better than a shot of a sword, so, uh, we can kill the Jabba walking, such, uh, and so, we're going to move on, rallying the, uh, troops, 24 hours time, uh, the chorus will be able to feel you in no parromanment. What moment, Gregor? I think that he's asleep. Oh. I will slam my hand down to wake him. Well, and so, so thank you for agreeing to help us in all the ways that you've just probably. Well, anything for you, so generous, so generous. You mind me to belay in that to all of the, uh, senior counsel of the Brighan-Narks? Crucialized, you have your real lives. Well, I was trapped. I've my, my throat hurts. Could you relay it to them? Frost, maybe you could write a message up, and you can then hand out, move some pamphlets? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's right. Dude, you write it up for me. One moment. Yeah, that's right. No, of course. I wish they were old gold. I would help you with anything. Frost, make sure you run the tree thing, man, put the tree, put the, put the blood of the trees and whatever. Oh, I'll start with that. Oh, yeah. I'll be the one. It's a good hook. Oh, and the, and the, the, the, the chords chill. So, do we learn anything else? Well, you know, that the powerful, that the, oh, let me, the warm about all the giants, how the, you know, shall I tell you? Oh, yeah, the great sundry, or rumblin, the rumblin. Oh, yeah, yeah, the rumblin. No, just the rumblin. Sundering was definitely not sundered. No, no, no, just for the rumblin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, and then who's in about my kind of room? My own. Oh, yeah, the hagg is the, the outcast coming will see the, you see the good reminder. The great reminder. Yeah. Here, um, uh, I'll claim my hand down again. Here you are. You've just taken all of these notes. Oh, my Benman ship is in broo. Yes, it's, uh, it improves with age. I don't know if that was the done. I'll go. That was true. Brickin' dogs, roundy, roundy, Gomo has an announcement. These are my fine friends that helped to rescue me from deep within mother horn and the grasp of the wicked bitter end. Sorry, yeah. Oh, best topic. They have asked me, topic waves and jumps up and down. They have asked me to help them us to help them in their endeavors, as I am going to read to you the statement that I've made to them. What the fuck? Where is this? Oh, yeah. Are you putting that up to keep moving forward into all the enemies on the straw? On this day ahead, what is this bullshit? We're going to march on mother horn with the Gourds. Yes. The tail, the cool. They're chill, they're cool. You, you, you, you, agreed with us moments ago. Yeah. Everyone never knows the Gourds. Everyone is watching and he, you see sweating, he starts to really feel the pressure. Yeah. I did agree to this because the Gourds are chill and cool. Yeah. Yeah. And that's what I did. And what I did, you'll be rewarded for sharing this information. Well rewarded. I fell asleep during this conversation, didn't I? And all the witch stones are going to be returned to their rifle owners and everything will be said. Yeah. Everything's going to be said. All of them are in the camera. All of them are in the camera. They will all be said, oh, because you're all friends now. The Brighanox seem to be very confused, but, but Golo moves himself aside and he rallies everyone around him. He begins to, he reads over your letter. And though your flowery prose is beautiful, it's not the way that he speaks to this community. And so he uses his own words to express what it is that he made. And then he asks them simply if they agree to this. They are a community, they are a family. And he will not send them on this fight without their acquiescence. And they look nervous. They look like they aren't sure that they want to do this. They're concerned about the chorus. Until topic steps up. And he gets on top of a tiny little wooden crate. And he begins to talk about the things that you did for them, the things that you did for him. And that if you need help, that you have to rise up help, that Yon is there, that it doesn't belong to Endalyn. And that if she's going to try to force them to war with anyone else in Yon, then that just means that she is the enemy. And they will, and they should march alongside their friends and allies in this area. Yes, yes, yes. And take down the witch at the top of the mountain. And there are tears in the audience. People love topic. Topic is everybody's favorite. And so they all decide to rally behind. And you are welcome to stay. They invite you to a feast, a celebration the night before they're going to march on Motherhorn. Oh, it's a great, it's an additional benefit. So I don't see one. I think that they're going to be able to go in front of this town. I just feel like, oh my god, I was going to ask about Fernandez, but I, we need to be able to go in front of them. We need to go in front of them. They need to go in front of the grub, the livery grub is going to fucking crazy over here. He's ready for blood. I love this grub. I love this grub. Man, he's got, he's a little fucking free. Yeah, they're going to go in front of the grub, and they're going to be grub. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And so you gently decline the invitation to stay and feast with the Brighanox, and they are, many of them rush towards the entrance, knowing that it's been blown wide open by you, but to meet the Corids and welcome them into Brighanox mind, so they can march into Mother Horn through the secret tunnel at the back of the mines and Obed's Grotto. You should all take some time to get to know each other and become good friends. Everyone here should become allies. Because we will do that very well, Frost. Try, try playing a few games of, Louisville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handyville Handy and make your way where? Well, I think there's got to go to the troll bridge and we've got to go down to the tunnels what was called by forgotten things. You make your way to the troll bridge. You continue to make your way through the cavernous tunnels of Brighanoch mine. You remember, you were just here recently and you are able to remember the twists and turns that you took with Topic even though it was the tunnels were many. And eventually you find yourself spilling out into the cavern with the troll bridge. And as you begin to attempt to descend with the high winds down into the troll bridge, the troll bridge. Go down, get to the troll bridge. You realize, yeah, it's the ascended zephyr, but yeah, we're definitely going to fly in here. I'm going right, right. That's a great journey. We're trying to couple names. It's got a million names. As you attempt to take it down into the cavern, you remember that crossing this cavern on foot was difficult with the amount of wind that is rushing past it. And you don't believe you're going to be able to take the flying circus into this cavern. You're going to have to climb on foot. But from this vantage point, you can see very clearly that there is a winding pathway that seems to lead down. It looks as though it's been worn by troll feet. I don't think I can bring it down through this wind. I'm going to have to land above it. We're going to have to hoof it the rest of the way. No, again, sure. There's got to be some other kind of way. Isn't that some fade button? You can just hit to solve this problem, please. Oh, wait. Well, this button says float like a leaf on the wind. Hang on. Get in, dies instantly. No, he doesn't. You do feel yourself float like a leaf on the wind. Unfortunately, the wind in here is incredible. And the flying circus begins to whip in the opposite direction of where you want to go. Man, it was cool and all intuitive, did it? Didn't you watch Serenity? You're supposed to die. I was reference in Serenity, haven't you? Yes, I know. I don't know what you're going to do. I don't know what you're going to do. I've never seen Serenity. So I don't understand any of this. And he never landed for all this, OK? Read a book. Oh, is this full of this thing you just did? Oh, you got to be kidding, Torback. No. Torback, you don't watch movies. You guys. Oh, no. You watch, why for a medium? Anyway. Wait, that's not the film. Is it that's the TV show? Because I probably won't see the TV show. That's the film. No. The TV show called Firefly. You guys are the worst. Anyway, all right, we all fly around the land we're more supposed to. You just land on the side of the bridge, and you're able to anchor the TV show. The flying circus. And you see that you don't have to cross the bridge. The pathway down does seem to be worn by the feats of trolls. Well-worn path that the trolls probably take when they're coming up to scavenge for food or whatever. But it seems to go down into the cavern. And at first, you're concerned with the wind so strong. How are you going to stay attached to this footpath? But you see very quickly that you feel very quickly that as you step onto the pathway, the wind doesn't feel as strong down here. Very fortunate. Oh, we seem to be protected on this path. And I propose that we move down. Just carry forward. I mean, we have sort of forged, I guess. All right. This is the vibe that we've felt enough in our vision right out of the future. Does it feel like you're a little familiar? We saw bridge. Do you see a bridge or no? This is the bridge where you've with the troll. Remember we crossed to get to Old Ben's grotto, that's right. But in the dream, we saw a bridge, right? In this very bridge. OK. We're in the right place. On the right track, we're going to find this shot. You know what they say? The best time to forge a sword was 20 years ago. But the next best time is today. All right. Yeah. You got some great say to it today, Torbett. Thank you. You're getting in. Torbett's been trying. Wow. Are you ready? I'm ready, man. All right. Torbett lead the way. Of course, absolutely, Mr. Grammy. And I begin to walk down this path. Good call. Yeah. I'm hoping that I will be protected by the thunder wind. Lead towards what I hope to believe is a magical grotto of some kind. You begin to descend. And the wind is strong. But it's not as strong as it was when you were crossing the bridge. And you begin to descend this lightning path. It's almost like a goat path along the mountain where it zigzags downwards. And you travel as you descend. And you see the corrupted wish-dots below you sparkling and shining. And as you descend, you doesn't feel like they're getting any closer. But you're descending. It seems like it's taking hours. It's really only been about 30 minutes, maybe 40 minutes of descending. But you are getting tired. Yeah. And you continue to descend. But you don't see any cabins. You don't see any entrances into the walls. You don't see any way to walk further down this cavern. It's almost just taking you straight down. And to eventually you see down below you, which looks to be a half-circle platform jutting out of the side of the mountain. And if the shadows are indicative of what's there, the mouth of a cave. I look to some of the corrupted wish-dones as we approach the mouth of this cave. I'm going to say, ah, talk about a grim reminder. Torque, almost forgot there's brilliant arc hell. You ain't never talking about this. Do you? And I will begin to move towards the mouth of this cave to see if I can all step threshold. You make your way down. Are you going down by yourself? You're right behind. I'm just going first because I'm a sacrifice. I'm a sacrifice. You're exactly a sacrifice. You're just a case area jump stuff. You're going to make your way down and you step on a flatboard. You're exactly right. You kind of test it with your foot just to make sure that it's sturdy and solid and it is. And as you go to round the mouth of the cave, you immediately see a long, like, beige-ish, slightly green hand reach its way out as a troll is leaning up against the archway. You're doing a big boy.

So I come out and I look around Guys, guys, Ronda What a moment, friends? Ronda? Ronda, where did you go? To Ronda, maybe we can see a movie Or get food Oh man, Ronda, are you there?

It's cookies for Uber money, that's terrible How could you use Torbeck like this? Guys, we're down here, Tobak We're down here, we're in the cave, we're in the cave We're down here, Tobak We're down here, we're in the cave Okay Torbeck's coming Who'd see, Uncle Torbeck's gonna be real sad for a while You can't do anything about it, he just... This is a character development canon event, I think So... So, let's... Let's sing us your favorite song Release the burdens of familiar pressure And embrace your newfound icy powers That's very legally distinct from anything else That young girl with your rays love to listen to Okay That's a stifling song I attempt to find my friends However long I might take It doesn't take you long to catch up with them You may be sad and you may be slow And you may be tired from your 59 seconds It happens But you are still capable And you make your way towards your friends And catch up with them The trek through these tunnels is long They're winding occasionally You find yourselves met with one, two Or sometimes even three choices of pathway to take And sometimes you find yourself in a way And sometimes you find yourself in a way to take And somehow, almost instinctively You just get a feeling This time we should take the left This time we should take the middle path Left again Right, right, right, middle And you don't know why But there is something you feel drawing you Down these pathways It takes a while Occasionally you hear sounds within these corridors Potentially trolls about But you don't see Grunda again She's gone As you continue deeper into these caves You begin, you feel yourself descending For a significant portion of this And occasionally you imagine that you see bits of Wishtown and corrupted Wishtown Embedded in the walls in the way that they sparkle There is, you don't even have to light a light The Wishtowns themselves are illuminating these caves As they spat out And you can see the walls And sometimes you feel themselves are Illuminating these caves as they Speckle the walls You continue to wander through the tunnels And the darkness It starts to get darker and darker And you lose track of time But you press forward Through the supernatural sense of your vision From the ori of tragedy And finally you see a light In the darkness It illuminates a set of stairs You make your way up into a primordial stone chamber and ahead of you is a smooth pedestal upon which the tip of a sword gleaming and stunningly radiant silver in crimson.
