Here's a cool fact. A crocodile

0:02

0:05

0:33

I just noticed, by the way, I have the notes for this

0:35

in a Google document on my iPad here.

0:38

And I sent it to Dave three

0:40

hours ago. And I said, if anything jumps

0:42

out at you about this that might stuff up your plans for the future,

0:44

just let me know. And I didn't hear

0:47

a boo from a goose, or Dave,

0:50

until right this second when I went down

0:52

to, I saw a little pink

0:54

cursor. Oh no. Because

0:57

he just this second entered the Google Doc.

1:00

Hot damn. It's like he's here with us right

1:02

now. And I gotta tell you, pal, it's

1:05

too fucking late. Woo!

1:19

It has been... Hell

1:22

yeah, great job. Thank you. An

1:24

amount of time. Let's

1:27

go. Since your daring escape

1:29

from the House of Records. I have a note here

1:32

saying, look up if it was called that. I

1:35

don't believe it was. The

1:37

details of the escape, how Freezo

1:40

managed to rejoin the Dragon Friends after

1:42

killing a cat for no reason, and

1:44

make himself regular size, how they

1:47

all left the building undetected, the

1:49

parchment containing the whereabouts of Boo

1:51

Shoo tucked secretly into Bethany's

1:53

top, how there was some awkwardness

1:55

after Logan

1:56

and Bobby made out, not just because

1:58

they were friends, but because... Because

2:01

making out with a giant turtle navigating

2:03

that whole mouth situation is a circumstance

2:05

to beak, abound with

2:08

awkwardness. The

2:10

details of that escape and reunion are far

2:12

too fantastical,

2:14

far too vibrant and cinematic, too

2:16

great an object to bring forth on this

2:19

unwalllable stuff-hold,

2:21

but suffice to say it all happened and

2:23

let us never speak of it again.

2:25

Hang on, hang on. Yay, yay, yay, yay. I

2:27

don't usually listen to these things when Dave's doing

2:30

it, but I thought I should

2:32

listen to Ben's one because he's DMing

2:34

and he doesn't do it all very often the first time and I wanted to

2:36

give you some respect. Definitely not, you were present

2:38

for the other, go on.

2:40

That's the first one I remember,

2:42

but did you just kind of say all

2:45

the unexplained what points from last time,

2:47

well, we'll wave some hands and now they're all

2:49

dealt with. I don't recall waving my hands. Did you say

2:52

unworthy? Yeah!

2:54

Once you're in the hot seat now, a

2:57

funny thing happens but you just start mispronouncing

2:59

words for no fucking reason and I really fucked

3:01

it up and it's a shame because it's a little Shakespeare quote

3:03

that I just snuck in there for the losers. Ugh,

3:06

why was the Shakespeare quote? It's

3:09

appropriated but too great an object

3:11

to bring forth on this unworthy scaffold. They

3:13

have scaffolding in Shakespeare's

3:15

desk. The fuck are you talking

3:17

about? Yeah! I

3:20

wouldn't have thought they would have, I thought that was a pretty modern-

3:22

I mean Shakespeare made up words all the time so the

3:25

chance is one of his. Okay, imagine a scaffold,

3:27

put it in your head and now imagine it's made of

3:29

wood. Well that's what I mean.

3:32

Is that

3:32

because there was no metal in Shakespeare's tongue? No,

3:34

they had swords.

3:35

Is that a sword? Because those are in Romeo and Juliet. They're

3:37

actually all made of swords. It's just swords last together. Okay, that

3:39

makes sense. Sorry, sorry Dave. I mean sorry,

3:41

Dave. I'm now

3:44

starting

3:46

to realise that there's a reason why Dave doesn't open

3:48

his fill for Shakespeare's. Alright,

3:52

so that's all done and I think it was dealt with really well

3:54

actually. That time

3:57

jump. So where are we

3:58

now? Well here's the thing.

3:59

When you took that

4:02

parchment which has the whereabouts of Boushous on

4:04

it, the other

4:06

dragon friends don't know you have it. Before

4:11

we get onto the next part of the story, have you given any thought to

4:13

how you're going to play that? Do you want to tell them?

4:16

That's not how we do it. What

4:19

Ben's asking you is do you want to do his homework

4:22

for him?

4:22

Yeah, okay, I'll do your work for

4:24

you.

4:24

No, no, but do you, are you going to tell... He

4:26

just seems to say get a little bit more naturally.

4:29

Yeah, I know, I miss him too. I

4:32

miss him too. Has he written anything good

4:35

yet?

4:37

No, he sent me a text just now saying

4:39

great job. Is

4:42

he watching, are we live streaming this today? No,

4:44

he just talked about my notes which he didn't seem to have

4:46

a problem with. Yeah, it's because you can't mispronounce

4:48

words. I don't know if you want to spell them wrong.

4:51

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind. Now,

4:55

the four of you find yourself back in Waterdeep

4:58

at a tavern.

5:00

Again, there's a note here saying different name to this.

5:07

You can say a big fella, what is it? The

5:09

dumb stupid witch tavern. It's a good

5:11

tavern. Witch or bitch? Witch.

5:15

The dumb stupid witch tavern. What we call a placeholder in

5:17

the biz. But

5:19

you're there, you're all enjoying a pub dinner

5:21

and trying to ignore the dwarven open mic

5:23

comics doing gear in the background. What

5:26

are you talking about? I don't know

5:28

Michael, you're the only stand up here. Yeah,

5:31

but I'm not DMing this motherfucker, am I? So,

5:34

what kind of things would a dwarf comedian talk about?

5:36

Well, I think I'd talk about whatever a comedian would do. I

5:38

don't think it defines them, Michael.

5:39

What kind of, what style of

5:41

comedy is this dwarf doing?

5:43

He does comedy about growing

5:45

up Greek in Australia.

5:46

Yeah. And

5:52

can I say, for those who are listening,

5:54

it's fucking killing. So

5:57

you're there, Bethany smiles, you know what, I

5:59

am. I'm gonna do your work for you here.

6:02

Bethany Smiles excuses herself from the party.

6:04

Excuse me, I have to shit. Ha ha

6:07

ha. Damn, what have you been eating? And with

6:09

that incredible cover, you

6:12

will not see Bethany Smiles for at

6:14

least two days as she works out the

6:17

final piece in this diabolical puzzle,

6:19

a puzzle which once solved may break

6:22

the contract which binds the beef babes and dragon

6:24

friends together. So with

6:26

Bethany away at her errand, the three of you,

6:29

four of you rather, sit at

6:32

the dumb stupid witch tavern.

6:37

Oh, I didn't order

6:40

an ale. Hey, me didn't order

6:42

ale. May wanna speak to the owner of this

6:44

establishment. Where's

6:47

a dumb stupid witch? Ha ha ha.

6:49

Hello,

6:51

madam, it's just a name.

6:54

My name's Jeremy. Hi,

6:57

Jeremy. Yeah, was

6:59

there a problem with the drink? Yeah, me ordered an

7:01

ale. Yeah, that's an ale. This is piss.

7:04

What? This is human piss in

7:06

a glass. Human piss in a glass, would you let me taste

7:08

that?

7:10

Glug, glug.

7:12

All right, well I'm drunk piss now. Where

7:16

the dumb stupid witch? Me wanna file

7:18

a complaint. I've already gone

7:20

over this name. It's just a logo that my nephew

7:23

drew. I

7:25

throw my drink at it. Oh. You

7:27

swill him with piss? The logo,

7:30

or the guy. No,

7:31

the nephew is standing underneath it

7:33

as he paints the logo. Oh no,

7:36

it's watercolours, it's all gonna come off now.

7:39

Does piss dissolve watercolours? Yeah.

7:42

How does everyone know that?

7:44

Everyone knows

7:44

that, Michael. How does everyone know

7:46

that? It's because piss is mostly water.

7:49

You know what, I'm calling into Dr. Carl tomorrow. I

7:53

am so sorry, I have no idea. Is everybody else's

7:55

drinks all right? I haven't got

7:58

my drink yet, actually. Alright,

8:00

have you got... has anybody...

8:02

No, I ordered... I

8:04

ordered a nice drink and it hasn't come yet. Hehehehe!

8:07

Here you go! Funny!

8:10

Hehehe! Well

8:13

you took away one of my characters so I'm taking some

8:15

initiative. Right, who is this?

8:18

I'm the dumb stupid witch! Oh, I

8:20

heard you were just a... a... a... a thing and have

8:22

that... have that poor nephew's imagination.

8:25

That piss brought me to mine! Hehehehehe!

8:34

Honestly... Hehehehehehe!

8:37

Okay, we'll run with this. Umm...

8:40

How many hitpoints does the dumb

8:42

stupid witch have? Just so I know for this adventure.

8:44

Yeah, she's like, got ten. Okay,

8:46

she's hanging around her really, obviously. She's

8:48

got many!

8:49

She didn't know paper was made out of leaves! I

8:51

didn't know that! Thank you, you dumb

8:52

stupid witch! That doesn't

8:55

feel very stupid. That's more like a smart thing to say.

8:57

Wait a second. It's not true though. WOAH!

9:03

Um... Okay, so she's here for a bit? Yes.

9:06

Well, um... Let me just... I've gotta say, have you ever thought of,

9:08

um... Franchising? This is a wonderful place.

9:10

That comedian is doing incredible jobs.

9:12

Oh yeah, yeah! We call him

9:14

the Godboy! Oh, so why... Why's that? Because

9:17

he looks like a goblin! Oh! And

9:20

that's racist because he's actually

9:21

a dwarf! Yeah. That

9:23

is very confusing!

9:25

Well, then I call him the dumb stupid witch for

9:27

something! Eat your noose!

9:29

Um... I

9:32

forgot I'd ordered noose! Spy!

9:34

Spy! Across the room.

9:37

Uh... Walking into

9:40

the light is

9:42

a figure of a man. It is a man,

9:44

in fact. Wearing all

9:48

black. All a black waistcoat, a black

9:50

top, a black shirt, a black

9:53

hat. Um... And big

9:55

mutton chops. He's an older gentleman. Is he

9:57

a cowboy? No. You

10:00

didn't hear that disappointment? Everyone wants him to be a cowboy.

10:03

Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't... I've already

10:05

got a dumb stupid witch on this adventure and

10:07

I can't have a cowboy. What does he look like then? What kind of hat

10:09

is it? Top hat. I just said this. No, you said a hat. You didn't

10:11

say top hat. What's a top hat? Is it Abraham Lincoln?

10:14

No, it's not Abraham Lincoln. Is it a magician?

10:17

Hang on, let me just check. No. Okie

10:18

dokie. Crumpled like a hobo or is it in mid-picture?

10:20

Well, he's looking at your table. And

10:24

he actually... it's not crumpled like a hobo. He's

10:27

kind of a maculately, if shabbily, dress. Hey,

10:29

take a picture, it'll last longer. Bobby

10:31

yells out. Bobby does yell that out? Yeah. He

10:34

starts walking slowly toward your table. Don't worry,

10:36

don't worry, you can... it's fine. The...

10:42

the proprietor makes

10:44

himself scared.

10:45

Hey, I got this one Jeremy,

10:47

don't worry about it.

10:49

She's there as

10:51

well. Excellent.

10:55

Hello there, fella. Sir?

10:59

You now see his face is pale, his eyes

11:01

are sunken. He is older

11:03

than you thought he was. He has a grim

11:06

look on his face. And out of his

11:08

jacket, he wordlessly pulls

11:11

three black envelopes. And

11:13

he puts them down in front of Bobby and

11:15

in front of... King.

11:19

In front of Freezo and in front of Phil.

11:22

What about them... Oh, mate. And

11:24

then he looks at Logan.

11:26

And I put my hands out like thus. Lee's

11:29

gonna have an envelope. And he goes... Like

11:32

he kind of drops the act a little bit and he's like... That,

11:35

that, that, that, that, that, that. You

11:37

don't talk, give me the... Bobby hands

11:39

in the envelope, he's like, you can open this one. We'll share it. Thanks.

11:45

Shut up,

11:45

shut up. What? Shut up, what?

11:49

What else are you guys sharing?

11:52

Besides spit.

11:53

Show him

11:55

the envelope. Freezo, you hear about this? What happened?

11:58

These two... How much

12:00

do you want to know what happened between these two?

12:01

Uh, I'd say give me like

12:03

a PG version of what happened. And

12:06

I'll invent the rest. Look, we should

12:08

get this out of the way. Yeah. Nothing's going to be

12:10

different between us now. What

12:13

happened though? We did

12:15

a kiss. We kissed once.

12:17

It's fun. It went for seven seconds.

12:20

That's such a long kiss! Well,

12:22

to be fair, I didn't really know... He doesn't

12:24

have

12:25

any lips. It's very hard to know what I'm kissing.

12:28

So it was really sort of just working things out as I went along.

12:31

But I think we got there. Have

12:33

you guys talked about it?

12:36

Well, yeah, it's been cool. It's something that happened.

12:39

And you guys are just chill with that? We're

12:41

fine. We just want to make sure there's no difference in the dynamic. Do

12:43

you know that he kissed Phil one time as well? No. That's not true.

12:45

We don't know that. No, I didn't

12:47

know that actually. We woke up in the same bed.

12:51

You woke up in the same... Not

12:53

just same bed, each other's arms. Well,

12:55

strictly him in mine. The black

12:57

cloud figure is starting

12:59

to fit in.

13:01

Shift

13:05

awkwardly from

13:05

foot to foot. What are you... Do

13:08

you

13:08

think... What was your name?

13:12

My name is Obadiah Finch. What?

13:17

My name is Obadiah Finch.

13:23

Well, Mr Finch, what do you think? What do

13:25

you think? If you were in a situation socially,

13:29

where you sort of made a romantic...

13:31

You had a romantic time with someone. A

13:33

colleague. And then the

13:36

next day, a couple of days later at work,

13:39

you found out that they had previously had

13:41

a romantic, potentially romantic

13:44

evening with another colleague. And you're

13:46

all working together. Do you think someone should have declared

13:48

that earlier or...? I'm dropping the envelopes off

13:50

to the relevant

13:53

parties. But

13:56

do you think...? Yeah, it seems dicey to me. Don't

13:58

do that! But we don't know

14:00

if anything happened. Yeah, look, I am. When you're my

14:02

size, often you just end up with a little spoon. Mmm.

14:05

It just happens. Yeah, that must be okay. I

14:07

don't know, this is interesting because I'm also sort of a large

14:09

fella and I've never woken up with someone else in my

14:12

arms. It's realized you had a type, Bobby!

14:14

Yeah, if I could just... Be the brainy. Do

14:16

you know what? I'm gonna...

14:18

and then like he's sort of... he's gone. You

14:21

don't really notice but he's gone. Wait, Obadiah!

14:24

No, he's gone. He left? I

14:26

think he's going to hit... what? Um,

14:30

do

14:30

we need...

14:31

is that... do we need any other information? It's all in

14:33

the envelope. Do

14:34

you work for the postal service?

14:35

Go away! Do you

14:38

want to join us for a drink? A private

14:40

courier? He's gone. Anyway,

14:43

as I was saying, he's... he's not gonna... change anything.

14:46

Change anything, yeah.

14:48

So, you guys gonna kiss

14:49

again or what? Probably not. Why don't

14:52

you care? Me don't care. Me

14:54

just want to know the... like what you

14:56

said. Professional

14:57

boundaries. Okay, Obadiah, you can

14:59

get back in the door. He's like, typically...

15:02

people have opened the envelopes by now. You

15:06

know, like somebody just walks in, wear

15:08

all black and drops envelope and then

15:11

like that sort of supersedes.

15:13

Dude, this is just like another Tuesday for us.

15:16

Yeah, okay. It feels like, what envelope are

15:18

you talking about? The

15:19

one I put in... here's what

15:21

I think. I thought it was a coaster. Even...

15:24

and I'm not...

15:26

I put it half in my mouth and I pull it

15:28

out like, oh yeah, that's it. I've got a

15:30

spare, there you go, goodbye. Wait,

15:32

hey, you got a spare? You

15:36

made me share with him under the dynamics

15:38

that we... He's gone! He's gone!

15:41

I think, even though you two

15:44

don't really know if anything happened between the two of you,

15:46

the fact that you're awkward about it says

15:49

all that needs to be said about it. We're not... well, I'm

15:51

not awkward about it. I'm cool about it. You're trying

15:53

to... shit about this. Why?

15:55

Why did you bring it up? Because

15:58

I think... I think... has

16:00

a right to know. Who? Who?

16:03

Turtle. Taurus? Yeah,

16:05

but his name. You're

16:07

not here. He left. He's

16:09

back. He's back. What's

16:11

the name of the guy who just left till

16:13

he met one second ago?

16:14

Obert Dyer. What's your colleague name?

16:16

You've been working this for years. This guy

16:18

who has saved your life, been at your back

16:21

in battle situations, has joined

16:23

you on your quest to save your

16:25

life. What's his name? Tortle.

16:30

That's like... Is my race. Yeah.

16:32

Hahaha! Yeah. Is it? Look,

16:35

actually, this isn't the first time you've done

16:37

this. What? To this character? Hold

16:40

it, Tortle. The witch

16:42

takes one of the envelopes

16:44

and goes, What

16:46

have we got here? Looks

16:49

like I do come in handy as a character after

16:52

all. And I can read.

16:55

What does the envelope say? I mean,

16:57

what does the letter inside the envelope say? Are

16:59

you guys gonna open your envelopes?

17:02

Pull. Pulls.

17:04

What? It's Logan! It's

17:06

Logan! Don't go! Don't

17:09

go! Don't go! Don't go! He was

17:12

about

17:12

two minutes late and he just looked at his character

17:14

sheet. This

17:14

is bullshit.

17:18

If all of yours read as follows...

17:23

Sorry, do you want me to do it in the voice? I'd rather you didn't,

17:25

in fact. So

17:27

we're reading in our heads there. But you can kind

17:29

of hear it in Overdyer's voice, I guess. Because

17:32

you just saw him and it's kind of fresh. Even though

17:34

the witch was the last person to speak, you kind

17:36

of associate him with the envelope. Because

17:38

no, Overdyer delivered it and wrote it. Well,

17:41

yeah, it's possible. Okay. You

17:44

are most somberly invited

17:47

to the funeral of Gribbens

17:50

St. Clair, last of his name.

17:53

His surname was St. Clair?

17:55

To be held this evening

17:57

at the ever-sleep meadows in

17:59

Brackett. stink marsh of the bog.

18:02

By Zelda? Where a life tragically

18:04

cut short will be celebrated. Refreshment

18:08

available after the service followed by a reading

18:10

of the will. Dress code, Unirell

18:12

Blacks.

18:16

That's all it takes. When

18:19

did this start?

18:22

A little bit. No,

18:25

you fucking killed him last time. No, pudding.

18:28

You personally... Free

18:30

them? Yeah, you personally killed

18:33

him last episode. Was it like a... We stopped

18:35

down and everything. Like I listened back

18:37

to it, right? I listened, I tried to

18:39

listen to last episode today, but

18:42

the drive I do now is much shorter. Sure.

18:45

No, I get that. I listened to the first 18 minutes of

18:47

the podcast. Yeah, no, it happened after that. And

18:51

I listened to it because I thought this might happen. And

18:53

Dave did say, for the avoidance of doubt,

18:56

in that little way he has, he

18:58

said, for the avoidance of doubt, you have

19:00

just killed Gribbets properly.

19:03

And you went, yeah, it wasn't a great idea, but

19:05

your heart was in the right place. He said, this is

19:08

an invite to his funeral. You

19:10

know, traditionally,

19:12

when someone kills someone,

19:14

you wouldn't invite that person to the funeral, would

19:16

you? Well, this is an interesting point. And

19:18

I think that when you think about how the body was left

19:20

and found, you actually... And

19:23

based on this invite, you actually... There's

19:26

nothing to say that you are a suspect. I

19:28

think it was Logan because he didn't get an invite.

19:31

So...

19:31

Or the witch. Or the witch.

19:34

So do we think this is the cops trying to like, size

19:37

me up or what? Oh. This is a sting

19:39

operation?

19:40

You think they're going to investigate

19:42

death as Gribbets? Well, he was a

19:44

lawyer.

19:45

When you kill a lawyer, people get like...

19:49

I think if you didn't show up, it would be more

19:51

suspicious. So, should we

19:53

go in disguise? No,

19:56

because then it would look like you didn't show up.

20:03

They tracked us down to this shitty

20:05

pub. I think we should

20:08

probably just go.

20:11

Well, I should probably say something, I guess. Yeah.

20:15

Like in a victory? Yeah, at the wedding. I

20:17

mean, it's a funeral. What's that called?

20:20

The u-logy.

20:22

A eulogy. Usually

20:23

they'll tell you if they want you to do what?

20:27

Well, I think if...

20:28

I mean, without me, apparently he wouldn't

20:30

be dead. Is

20:32

this something you're going to say in the eulogy? No,

20:36

I'm just working it out in my head. Is

20:38

this like you're thinking, like, get the best

20:40

man to do a speech, you get to introduce the bride and

20:42

groom? Yeah. I introduce

20:45

groupers to his death? Yeah. Funny

20:47

story, without me, we're about to be getting these sandwiches. Sorry. Do

20:50

you want to talk, Bobby? I think you've got your own

20:52

shit going on right now with Logan. We're completely fine. We don't

20:54

need turmoils and whatnot. They're free though. What's

20:56

something you're... The person

20:58

we know is Gribbeth.

20:59

What's his real name?

21:06

Gribb...

21:08

Bulls. Sinclair.

21:11

Was just in that. Gribbble

21:14

Sinclair. Is that your final answer? No,

21:18

because they're laughing. All right,

21:21

are you guys going to go? Yeah, we'll go. You

21:24

have maybe a couple of hours before sundown. I'm going

21:26

to go to the costume shop and get a costume.

21:29

Just think of it. What kind of costume are you

21:31

going to get? There is a costume shop a block away

21:33

if you want to go. Do you want to bring your... My sister

21:35

owns it!

21:37

You can bring the fucking witch. Yeah,

21:40

I'll go buy a cowboy costume

21:42

in case I need the disguise

21:44

to get away.

21:46

How would that... Okay, sure. Yep, that's fine.

21:48

That's very smart to me.

21:50

Thank you so much. I want

21:53

the proper cowboy costume that has like

21:55

an eye mask as well. You should go get

21:57

like a full oval peck with the...

21:59

tassels coming down from the... you're

22:02

talking about a lone ranger sort of thing.

22:04

Yeah, a lone ranger, sorry. You

22:06

guys have funeral kind of blacks

22:08

that you can wear something that's... Not on

22:10

us. Sorry? Not on us I don't

22:12

think. I guess we'll have to get stuff from the costume shop as

22:14

well. Yeah, we'll go to the costume shop.

22:17

Yeah, but we'll get tasteful stuff from the costume

22:19

shop. Well it's a bit of a block away.

22:22

What costumes are famously all in black?

22:24

You could go as death.

22:25

A bit on the nose. Stop

22:28

just saying it's all in black. Yeah,

22:30

that's classy. Abraham

22:32

Lincoln also... So are you

22:34

guys walking to the costume shop? It would be

22:36

funny if three of us addresses Abraham Lincoln and one of us is a cowboy.

22:40

Is the witch coming?

22:42

No, my sister will take care of you.

22:45

Who

22:45

the fuck is that? She's

22:48

called the fuckhead witch. She's

22:50

called the what?

22:51

Fuckhead

22:53

witch. The four of you and the fuckhead

22:55

witch go down the street. Alex,

22:57

you're playing the fuckhead witch? Yes, correct. Can

23:00

you roll a d20 for me? Absolutely.

23:01

Oh yeah.

23:03

Happy to. That's

23:04

an 18. Fantastic. There

23:06

is the sound of a

23:08

horse getting out of control. What?

23:12

The body. A

23:14

carriage is coming towards you,

23:16

but because you rolled an 18 you have a second to

23:19

react. So roll in the d20 for me for agility

23:21

while... Okay,

23:22

I kick it in the balls. The 15.

23:25

I don't have my

23:27

witch character sheet. Yeah,

23:28

no, that's fine. The witch is fine. How's

23:31

the horse? The horse died actually

23:34

and I had huge plans for that horse. So

23:38

I guess we're going

23:40

to

23:40

the costume shop. Alright, when we go

23:42

to the costume shop, now

23:45

you own this? You run this? No, my sister owns

23:46

it. We hate each

23:49

other. Aren't you the fuckhead witch

23:51

though? No, Ben got confused. Right,

23:53

okay, okay. So, introduce your

23:55

sister. Are you playing the sister?

23:56

I'll say both. Ahh!

23:59

I'm actually...

24:00

Like fucking Hydrant, you take away one part and

24:02

three grown up. I do get a feeling that Ben

24:04

tried to take away one of Alex's characters

24:07

so she could just have one to focus on and now

24:09

she has three. Yeah. Hehehe!

24:13

What the fuck is that? She's

24:16

got a different cackle. You know what that is, Ben?

24:18

A taste of your own medicine. Okay,

24:21

so show us the... Do you know how great

24:23

sewing is? As opposed

24:26

to reaping? Alright,

24:29

so can you give us the first witch? And

24:32

yet this new witch? Okay,

24:35

is that one French?

24:38

Excuse me. You're a bit of a gasket. I'm

24:41

in the market for an all black

24:43

cowboy costume, please. Yeah, right, I heard some.

24:46

All black? All right, yes, like an evil

24:48

cowboy kind of thing. Yeah,

24:50

I'm more for cowboy. Oh, very

24:52

nice. Yes, I've got this one here. It's from

24:55

a movie you haven't seen

24:57

called The Cowboy

25:00

Who Killed His Mum.

25:05

It gives away a lot of the plot in

25:07

the title. Does

25:10

it start with him killing his mum? And

25:13

it had the movie in its course. It's

25:16

a very nice scene. Cut

25:20

off. He's

25:22

building tension. Is this cowboy going to kill

25:24

his mum? But it's cool. The

25:26

cowboy killed his mum. Can

25:28

I tell you something really strange about this?

25:31

I'm currently having an out of body experience.

25:35

Because typically, I would be sitting

25:37

here, really enjoying

25:39

this riff. Maybe

25:43

even egging this riff on. But

25:47

as it stands, all I want

25:49

to do is kill my thing.

25:51

All

25:53

right, so here's how it starts. All

25:56

right, now here's how it is. There you go. Cowboy

25:58

killed his mum. Or does anybody else mean it?

25:59

fucking costume what have you what have

26:02

you got in black I've

26:03

got Zorro from the movie the

26:05

mask of Zorro

26:06

what are you gonna buy this better I've

26:08

got Darth Vader from the movie

26:10

Darth Vader

26:11

no

26:14

can I dress up as a do you have a costume

26:16

for a stage technician I know

26:26

but

26:33

my stage technician Rottie's just at the back you could

26:35

take his clothes

26:36

okay I got I go out the back sorry

26:39

what is the costume shop of a stage technician

26:43

because I'm not they do a variety

26:46

show it's like a you know like a

26:48

Dracula's sort of you know see it's really

26:50

financially it makes sense because

26:53

everybody

26:57

I'll take Darth

27:00

Vader from Darth Vader you have to roll the like

27:02

the pants up

27:16

I'm

27:21

also got a panda that is

27:23

really badly done so it is all black

27:26

27:26

I'll take that very badly

27:28

done a talk question I'll put you into a fitting

27:32

room right

27:36

and I guess

27:36

fields will go in the iPhone which is some

27:38

sort of fantasy

27:47

oh no actually I've

27:48

28:19

The sun

28:22

has begun to set in

28:24

the city of Waterdeep.

28:27

Stinkmarsh Bog, where

28:30

they have named Ever Sleep Meadows, is

28:33

about a 15 minute walk and you walk it! You

28:35

walk it! Minute one, nothing

28:38

happens. Minute 15, nothing happens. No,

28:41

just a tip Ben.

28:43

When you get mad and yell, you're

28:46

trying to control the situation. But actually what

28:48

yelling does is it actually lowers your status. Oh,

28:50

so I should mendo this? Yeah,

28:53

in our eyes and in the eyes of the audience. So you've

28:55

actually, I know you're trying to take control,

28:57

but actually you yell and it makes it look like you've lost control. Do

28:59

you

28:59

remember the last show we did at South West? South West

29:02

where Dave got so mad that he spilled

29:04

an entire can of

29:06

alcoholic grape beverage over

29:08

his work laptop?

29:09

He looked like a fool. He sure did. Ben Mendelsohn

29:11

would never. He wouldn't. No, okay, well I'll

29:13

take that on board. Don't put a DM, the rest is like, it may be

29:16

more serious than that. I'll take that on board going forward. Thank you

29:18

very much. Um, shut the fuck up. So,

29:21

arriving at Ever Sleep Meadows, you see,

29:23

first of all, P.U.

29:25

it stinks. Stinkmarsh Bog

29:29

has a pungent aroma. But

29:31

in the middle of the bog, there

29:33

is a huge gothic building adorned

29:36

with gargoyles and with a spire

29:39

that climbs into the night sky.

29:41

The sky itself looks as though it is

29:43

threatening to storm. And standing

29:46

at the entrance to that building

29:48

is Obadiah Finch, the

29:50

man you saw at the tavern, and

29:53

he's handing out like little, little, sad little

29:55

programs. You

29:57

can hear in the distance the drone of an

29:59

organ.

29:59

playing somewhere within the building.

30:02

Next to him is a small woman who's sort of

30:04

similarly dressed to him as

30:07

him.

30:07

What's the guy after this? Hi, I'm

30:09

Fraser. We met at the um, pub before.

30:12

What?

30:14

Oh. What are you dressed like? I

30:17

think I, I'm a mournful

30:19

cowboy. Have you seen the movie, The Cowboy Who Shot

30:21

His Palm? Well no, I watched

30:23

the first like, two minutes and then I realized

30:26

that the whole thing

30:28

was given away in the- I was wondering,

30:30

will there be a portion of the funeral where anyone

30:33

can speak or? Just like

30:35

that? Is there an open mic is what he's asking?

30:37

Yeah. Is there like a- I know a great author.

30:40

For like the obits for the eulogy, I could say

30:42

a few words. Well actually as per the Willard

30:44

Testament,

30:47

Rubens Sinclair did ask- Rubens!

30:49

What? Hahahaha. Did

30:54

ask that one of

30:55

the three of you would

30:58

speak? Gosh.

31:00

But now I see that there are four

31:02

of you. Does anyone else want to speak? Do

31:05

you-

31:07

Filch, do you want to-

31:09

Oh, you knew him best.

31:12

Excellent. We were so

31:13

fond of- Was he your son?

31:16

Hahahaha. We

31:19

just had a whole thing, but

31:22

I'm the only- I run the- You're

31:26

the funeral director. That's

31:27

right. Who's that lady? What? The

31:29

lady, small lady next to you. The small lady. Oh,

31:32

oh hello. This

31:34

is- This

31:35

is Flack.

31:38

Flack? Flack. And what's she- What's

31:40

her deal? Oh,

31:42

I'm so honoured. I'm so very

31:45

honoured. You his mum? What? Are

31:49

you over dias, mum? She's

31:52

like- She looks like she's like in her 20s. She's

31:54

obviously like crying really, really hard. In

31:56

fact, do some in-insight checks.

32:01

So not very insightful.

32:02

Sixteen. Eight.

32:05

Okay. And Boba

32:07

Lubbagus. Five. Okay.

32:11

You get the sense that

32:14

there is something about Flack

32:16

where she is extremely nervous

32:19

but trying not to show it. Okay.

32:21

And she goes, oh, it's such an honour to

32:24

meet people who actually walked in the footsteps

32:26

of Griffin Sinclair. We are so very honoured

32:28

to be putting on his funeral. Are you a cop? What?

32:31

You have to tell me, otherwise

32:33

it's a trap, are you a cop? I'm not

32:35

a cop. I'm just... What? If

32:38

you're a cop, you have to tell us. Oh, it's such a sad

32:40

and horrible day. And then

32:42

she nudges Obadiah.

32:45

This is a fourth one.

32:47

And Obadiah says, yes, indeed.

32:50

We were not...

32:52

There may have been, because an invitation

32:55

was bespoiled by

32:57

being used as a coaster

33:00

and I replaced it with... We have

33:02

four invitations, that's right. Yeah, no, I

33:04

understand. That's... Yeah,

33:07

no, any place to play. Hey, hey, hey. I don't have

33:09

anything to do this afternoon. It's

33:12

completely fine. No, good. And you know,

33:14

as Griffin Sinclair often said,

33:17

friendship and fellowship makes

33:19

the cup runners over. Who's that? Okay.

33:23

And he... And he wishes something

33:26

to Flack, who goes like... They have

33:28

a little argument and he goes, just deal with

33:30

it. And then she scouries off into the building.

33:33

All is well. All is well. We

33:35

are all met. And I'm sure

33:37

you're ready to mourn your dear wonderful

33:40

friend. You're all right to understand that

33:42

you're on your phone. Why, what? Nothing.

33:44

I was just... I was just gonna

33:47

get... I was running my speech. Are you

33:49

looking up? What?

33:51

King is on the

33:53

fan-made dragon friend's

33:56

wiki.

33:58

Don, don't!

33:59

Why'd you throw me out of the bus? What are you

34:02

doing? Alright, um, uh... Am

34:05

I to understand that you will perform the eulogy?

34:07

Yeah, did we say perform?

34:09

My apologies, I'm just a bit emotional.

34:12

I've never dealt with someone of the stature and standing

34:14

of Grimad and Claire before. Yeah,

34:16

no, I'll... I'll... I'll... I'll do the eulogy.

34:20

Please, will you follow me?

34:22

The rest of the mourners are waiting.

34:25

Rest of?

34:26

Hmm? No...

34:28

Gribbles? Yeah, me and Grim Gribb are our only

34:30

friend. We're

34:32

his only friend. Okay, so who's just... Okay.

34:35

Whoa! And

34:37

look around. No! What do I

34:39

see? It's nice?

34:40

Yeah, it's like this big cavernous room. It's

34:43

like a church, like a cathedral. It actually

34:45

feels kind of weird, like it shouldn't be that big.

34:48

You know what I mean? Like, even without

34:50

any kind of special powers of insight, you can see that this is

34:52

maybe bigger on the inside. Yeah, right.

34:55

This beautiful cathedral, there's stained

34:57

glass windows across the wall. Make

34:59

for me, everyone, a perception check.

35:05

Hey!

35:10

Um, Freezo, you actually noticed that the

35:12

stained glass

35:15

windows actually depict key moments

35:17

in Grim's life. What? Yeah,

35:19

as if this whole edifice of the windows

35:21

had been built just for him. You

35:24

see him representing

35:28

the meek as a defender,

35:30

you know, in court. You see

35:33

him fighting a dragon

35:35

single-handedly with

35:37

a huge sword. You

35:40

see, he just had a one where he's got this

35:43

massive dick. What's

35:45

he doing in that one? Massive and normal dick,

35:48

just hanging out.

35:50

Just like, standing there, hands on hips.

35:53

You see

35:55

all that stuff. It's candlelit,

35:58

there's a bit of moonlight streaming in. and you are

36:00

alone. Wait, is that in the

36:02

portrait of him with his dick out or just in the actual room?

36:05

What? Is this diegetic

36:07

or non-diegetic candle light? I

36:10

saw that. Was it a portrait of him in the

36:12

moonlight with his dick out? Oh no, it's

36:14

probably like in a meadow scene. Oh, daylight? Yeah,

36:18

daylight, but the moonlight is kind of giving it a beautiful

36:20

kind of new context. You

36:24

were correct that there aren't

36:26

many mourners. In fact, there's

36:29

Flack and there's Obadiah

36:31

and there's a very

36:33

small,

36:35

very frail-looking woman

36:39

sitting at the front. She's a goblin, not

36:42

a woman. She's sitting at the front by

36:44

herself with a little bag and a sad little

36:46

hankie. But

36:50

she is immaculately dressed.

36:53

Oh,

36:56

uh, hello, madam. Hello?

37:00

You must be Mrs. Sinclair?

37:02

Lady

37:05

Sinclair. Lady Sinclair, my apologies.

37:08

Mine's anymore. You're his mother. What?

37:12

You're... you're Gribbitt's mother? Gribbitt?

37:15

Gribb... Gribb... Gribb... Bulsus. What?

37:19

You're Gribbitt. Gribbitt.

37:20

You're Gribbitt. Like rhymes with

37:22

ribbons? That can't be right. Gribbitt? Were

37:25

you Gribbitt's friend?

37:28

Yes. Yes.

37:29

She puts her hand on Logan's

37:32

shoulder and goes, Tell me, will

37:35

you just tell me one fond memory of him? Oh,

37:39

well, where can I start

37:41

with a fellow like Gribbitt? He

37:44

was always a jokester. In fact, one time

37:46

he pranked me so hard, we were having

37:48

a sleepover, and he put my

37:50

hand in a glass of warm water, and

37:53

I woke up very angry, and

37:56

I throttled him. But

37:59

we laughed and laughed. about it I'm sorry

38:01

for your loss. She kind

38:03

of like edges away on the pew.

38:05

Nah nah nah nah nah. He

38:08

drags her back. And another time

38:10

we were out for a stag do. Our friend

38:12

was getting married. Our over diet takes

38:14

to the restroom and says

38:17

uh we are here to

38:19

thank you everybody calm down

38:21

no more. Four people in

38:23

the room. Keep going. That's enough. Bit of

38:26

shush. Quiet quiet time.

38:28

His voice echoing up the wall. Big

38:30

T. Alright.

38:32

You've been warned.

38:35

Try to get started here. Alright.

38:38

Good people ding ding ding. Is it too

38:40

late sir? I

38:43

was catching up with my sister. Oh

38:45

god.

38:48

Roll a dice. Roll a d20. Roll a

38:50

d20. Uh yep that's a six.

38:52

Okay your fucking face

38:54

exposed and you died. Okay. That's

38:57

what that was. That was a check to

38:59

see if that would happen. And do you know

39:01

what the dice check was? Do you know what you had to get?

39:03

A thousand.

39:06

Need more dice for that I think. Yeah.

39:09

Um okay. I'll

39:12

avenge my sister's death

39:15

and I'll

39:15

take up any amount of time

39:17

to do anything. Ah

39:22

ha ha. But sad.

39:25

We are gathered here to remember

39:28

Griffin Sinclair.

39:29

Philosopher. Academic.

39:33

Lawyer. Defender of the

39:35

week.

39:36

One of his dearest friends, free Sophie

39:38

Sofferson, will now deliver the

39:41

eulogy. Oh

39:45

by the way you see next to the

39:48

uh next to the sort of dice the rostrum a

39:50

beautiful like 10 foot tall

39:52

marble sculpture of

39:55

rivets. He looks ripped. You

39:57

can't like his dick isn't out but it's got that

39:59

edge. It's a

40:01

very flattering Marvel statue. So,

40:04

this

40:04

is me talking about Michael

40:06

Hinga. This is not Frieso saying this. But I just

40:08

wanted you to know that some of the details

40:11

from the wiki actually contradict some of the things you've

40:13

said. Okay. So,

40:16

Frieso takes the microphone. Is there a

40:18

microphone or something? Or a tannoy?

40:20

There's four people there. Okay.

40:23

Hi everyone. My name's Frieso. Sorry,

40:26

open up. Bit of bit of shush. Sorry, open up. Bit

40:29

of bit of shush. Bit of shush.

40:30

Now, I knew Gribbets quite well.

40:33

He

40:37

was my lawyer. And whenever I got

40:39

into a scrape, we'd hire

40:41

Gribbets. Whether he was defending

40:44

us for murder or

40:46

for thievery or

40:48

any other crimes. That we committed.

40:51

That we committed. He was or didn't commit.

40:54

He would defend us with, I

40:57

want to say competence. So

41:00

it is ironic then. That

41:05

he was himself killed. And

41:08

we will never know who did it.

41:13

And I guess... Lady Sinclair starts

41:15

wailing into her tissue. And

41:18

his beautiful, wonderful mother, Lady

41:20

Sinclair, is here. And I'll tell

41:23

you, Lady Sinclair, I promise to you. Look at

41:25

me. Look into my eyes. Look at

41:27

me. I will not rest until I hunt down the

41:29

dog that killed your son. And

41:33

I remove them from this earth. Because

41:36

I loved your son, Gribbets! The

41:38

goblin lawyer.

41:40

You see up there in

41:42

that... in that... in that... ... tiny

41:44

last window? Look how good his neck

41:46

is. Whereas I know

41:48

canonically

41:48

that he has a bad dog. I know

41:50

that. Because

41:54

during the first season

41:55

of term of annihilation...

41:59

He earned...

41:59

the thing named Gribbitt's the weapon, and

42:02

Phil's also noted that Gribbitt's a mad

42:04

dog, I know this to be true. Lady

42:07

Tinker looks less sort of moved

42:10

at this point.

42:11

I also want to say that in

42:13

other seasons of our

42:15

invention, while

42:17

we're being tried to the murder of Hyperion Max,

42:20

we sum it to Gribbitt's, to the court,

42:23

to defend us.

42:24

And it doesn't say exactly how it went, but

42:27

I guess I'm not in prison. So,

42:30

that's my eulogy.

42:31

As

42:36

you are wrapping up, all of you start to hear a whisper coming from

42:38

the walls of the church.

42:47

It

42:49

sounds like this, Repent, repent,

42:53

repent. What's going on in those

42:55

walls? It's getting

42:58

louder and louder and louder, that

43:00

word over and over again, repent, repent,

43:02

repent. You're asking overdiall what's

43:04

happening? Yes. I'm sorry, I don't

43:06

know what to mean. It's

43:08

very clear that neither overdiall or

43:10

Lady Tinkerclank can hear this.

43:12

Bobby, you hearing that? I'm hearing it.

43:15

Yeah, yeah, all four of you.

43:17

Actually, no. All three of you are hearing

43:19

it. Actually, all four of you are. Dave

43:22

never does this.

43:25

Yeah.

43:28

Maybe one of us, another one of us

43:31

should say something. All

43:33

the candles in the room suddenly go out like that,

43:36

leaving you in pale moonlight. I want

43:38

all of you to make a perception check for me. I

43:41

was thinking that. I

43:44

was thinking.

43:46

Is

43:49

this perception? Yeah. Okay.

43:54

Logan, you

43:56

can hear the sound of almost

43:58

like two rocks drying.

43:59

against each other. You

44:02

look up and you can see that

44:05

the statue of Griffiths, the

44:07

10-foot statue standing next

44:09

to Freezo is moving. It's

44:13

turning its head toward Freezo

44:15

and starting to slowly reach out a

44:18

marble arm. You

44:19

have advantage so

44:22

what would you like to do? I'm gonna quickly

44:25

just thorn with Freezo's

44:27

leg and like claw him away from the statue.

44:31

Do you need to do anything

44:33

for that? Do

44:36

you want to trade it like an attack roll but I don't want

44:38

to hurt him? What

44:39

was that?

44:40

An

44:43

attack roll.

44:44

Did I do it? Fantastic!

44:47

Yay! Yank Freezo

44:48

out of the way as all

44:50

of you now notice that the statue

44:53

swipes at the air where Freezo

44:56

once occupied and in a sound

44:59

like marbles kind of rolling

45:01

around in a bag you hear

45:03

a voice coming from the statue saying

45:05

GRIPBINS!

45:08

MY NAME WAS GRIPBINS

45:11

YOU FUCK!

45:14

The statue

45:16

turns attention on the four of you. I suppose

45:19

Freezo is now kind of huddled at Logan's feet.

45:22

We are going into combat with set initiative.

45:27

Bobby you are up. Okay I'm gonna cast

45:30

Earth Tremor. Yep. So it's gonna be 15. He

45:34

does not beat that. Alright so he's gonna take

45:39

five points of damage. It

45:43

looks pretty great actually. And

45:45

he's fallen over. Logan it's on you.

45:48

Is it still really dark? Yeah

45:50

it's pretty dark. Oh shit I'm gonna use daylight just so everyone

45:52

can get a hot sweet look at this. Great call.

45:55

All of you

45:56

can have a seat for a little

45:58

bit. that tune is

46:02

there and moving and you can also see by the way

46:04

that Finch and Flack and

46:06

Lady St. Clair seem to have

46:09

vanished. Oh those little

46:11

fucks. She was a cop.

46:17

Who's up? Sorry it's on Philge.

46:20

I'm gonna get my

46:22

mall and I'm mad.

46:24

I'm so mad that

46:27

I didn't actually get to speak to the eulogy.

46:29

So I'm gonna

46:30

try to

46:32

recap this statue with my mall.

46:35

I got an actual 20.

46:37

Next 20 baby!

46:41

Oh!

46:44

I got a pizza present. And

46:47

I got a... How much

46:49

damage?

46:56

Okay great. That 20... A

46:59

mall is a very good weapon against a

47:02

creature made of stone and you actually

47:04

hit him. Where did you say you hit him? Neck-happened.

47:07

Yeah, you actually take off a leg. Like

47:10

the whole thing shatters, crumbles

47:12

onto him. The statue goes... MAAAAAAAH!

47:16

FUUUCK! And starts

47:18

to stagger on one leg. It's

47:20

holding itself up now by

47:22

the rostrum and the rostrum is kind

47:25

of like buckling under its weight but it's still swiping

47:27

out badly.

47:28

On his one remaining

47:31

leg I'm gonna cast

47:33

Hunger of Hater. So this causes

47:35

a gateway to the dark world

47:37

to appear around a certain area. Okay.

47:40

God I feel like Dave would be so much better

47:42

equipped. Are

47:43

you trying to fuck me Michael? No

47:45

no, I'm reading

47:46

it from my little Red Book of Spells.

47:47

They're very easy to print out. So

47:51

this void is filled with a cacophony

47:53

of soft whispers saying things like...

47:56

Ooooooh, your dick is bad. Do you

47:58

think a statue's gonna care about that?

48:00

It just makes a mean

48:02

space around

48:02

somebody.

48:07

Any

48:10

creature that is in the

48:12

thing takes 2d6 points of damage.

48:15

Cold damage. Ok. Every

48:17

turn. Let's see if this statue is

48:19

affected by bullying but... It's

48:22

cold damage. Yeah, sure. So

48:24

roll 2d6s and tell

48:26

me if... I have a feeling it's hot.

48:28

If I give a shit. Excellent. That's 14.

48:32

You know what? How do you

48:34

like think the meanness

48:35

portal opens up and

48:38

you hear some nasty things about marble

48:41

being an inferior building material?

48:44

Yeah. Which doesn't seem to phase the statue

48:46

at all. It's 2d6 damage. Yeah,

48:48

but then it takes 17

48:49

damage. Yeah, then it takes... Yeah, and

48:51

then it gets bloody botantaticals or whatever. And it's

48:53

actually not looking good. It's

48:56

the statue's turn now. It's

48:58

going to... How fast can it move? It

49:01

is going to take a lunge at... You,

49:04

Logan? Go for it. Try me. What's

49:08

your AC? Oh.

49:13

It hit. Ok. It

49:15

hits you for 2d6s.

49:17

Oh no. It hit you for 7. I'm a turtle.

49:22

And now it's back on you, Bobby.

49:25

No! Says Bobby.

49:28

And...

49:30

Looked around for an exit. Is

49:32

there... Out. No, but is

49:34

there... What? Is there... Bobby's

49:37

suspected that this is some sort of magical thing

49:39

that's happened. I'm looking at this. Are we sealed inside

49:41

the thing? Are there doors? There are

49:43

doors. Still open? You can try the doors.

49:46

Is there anything around to be used as a large sort of bludgeoning

49:48

weapon like something that would work against

49:50

marble in the... There is

49:52

a ceremonial scepter. Don't know if that's any

49:54

use. Alright, I'm gonna take this ceremonial scepter and

49:57

I'm gonna whack

49:59

the guy with it. Yep,

50:01

what did

50:01

you roll? That's a 16

50:03

plus strength is 12 points

50:06

while you're 17. That hits, and

50:08

rolls for me, it's definitely damage, what do we

50:10

think? 2d6, shot.

50:12

That's a seven. Whoa,

50:14

all right, where do you hit him? Right

50:17

in the dick. Right, hi. Strong.

50:20

Strong. In

50:23

Rockfoot's gym, bludgeoning.

50:26

Oh, so he doesn't like bludgeoning, is that this

50:28

big, maybe, who can say? Okay,

50:31

I use my sling, and I sling him. Ooh,

50:33

David and Goliath. Yeah, just like that, but tortle

50:35

versus big guy. Where do you, oh, sorry, what

50:37

have you rolled? It hits, 19 plus. Okay,

50:42

what's your sling worth? My slings worth

50:44

two. And where do you hit him though,

50:46

this is crucial. Is he holding himself

50:48

up like that? Yeah, I hit

50:49

him with

50:50

two damage. Yeah, I suppose so.

50:53

All right. That's a tendon that

50:56

you're in.

50:57

Yeah, that's a curse. I hear a noise that sounds

51:00

like a slightly disencouraging

51:02

ping, but hey,

51:05

every bit counts. I'm

51:08

a turtle. Alex.

51:13

He pulls out her deck

51:16

of many

51:16

things. Do I just pull one out

51:18

at random? Okay. And

51:21

she pulls out the one that says

51:24

the void. Oh. What

51:28

does that mean? I'll look it up. Hang

51:30

on. We're looking it up.

51:34

Okay, then we can fix this.

51:38

It sounds good. And he

51:40

can't hold it. He's

51:43

waiting to defeat an enemy by opening

51:45

up a nice lovely void. And

51:47

even to the void. So...

51:50

The black card spells disaster your soul is

51:52

drawn from your body and contained in an object in a place

51:55

of the damned's choice. One more powerful

51:57

being guards the place while your soul is trapped

51:59

in this way.

51:59

your body is incapacitated.

52:01

No! F***!

52:07

What does Phil say? What does

52:09

Phil say directly before this happens? Are

52:12

we saying the data came after I could play?

52:14

No. What does she say as

52:16

she like reaches into the bag of many things

52:18

or whatever?

52:18

Um, she says,

52:22

it's grimace, dammit.

52:24

Great. She does that and then immediately

52:27

goes to sleep. She

52:29

collapses, er, face that everybody,

52:31

even the statue is shocked because she's big

52:34

and the thud is very, very loud. And

52:36

then you've got to choose an object to

52:38

store her soul in. Yes. So

52:41

what, where will Phil... Well, all of a sudden,

52:43

er, light starts emanating from

52:45

Phil's body and she has a beautiful

52:48

blue soul. That

52:50

is huge and sort of starts seeping out of her

52:53

body and floating directly

52:54

above

52:56

the sort of...

52:59

The mise en scene? Yeah, the mise en scene.

53:01

And it's lighting up the whole room and it looks beautiful

53:03

even on top of Logan's already lighting.

53:08

Everybody watches as it darts up, looks

53:11

around and then...

53:13

You ready for this? Yeah.

53:15

And then, er, swooshes

53:18

towards the door of the church where

53:20

at that moment a gruff

53:22

witch is bursting

53:24

through...

53:28

To avenge her sister and

53:31

it shoots into her body, knocking

53:33

her up against the wall and knocking her

53:36

out completely. Everybody

53:38

takes a moment to try and pass

53:41

what just happened. Even, like I

53:43

say, the statue is more

53:45

motionless than it seemed even before

53:47

it was animated by forces unknown.

53:51

What have the dragon friends gotten

53:53

themselves into by accepting this

53:56

invitation? What has Gribbitt planned

53:58

for them in...

54:00

Death and what in need will

54:02

happen to Phil, whose

54:04

soul

54:04

is now housed

54:07

in the body of a beloved NPC?

54:12

The fuckhead witch! The

54:15

answer to the question such as this,

54:17

you into the next episode of Planet Earth?

54:20

Nikko!

54:27

What the heck? We

54:29

don't need dang! No, fuck it up!

54:32

The cast of Dragon Prince

54:34

for this week is Alex Lee, Simon Greiner,

54:37

Michael Leeing and Tom Carden. For Dungeon

54:39

Masters this week is Bette Jenkins

54:42

with live accompaniment provided by Nick Harry. Shmira

54:44

Khan is our producer, podcast editor, mix

54:46

and master, like me, you

54:48

guessed, and your episodes are approved live at

54:50

the Vanguard City for mechanical language

54:52

and elimination. We are now on the

55:05

international

55:05

list of this podcast. Press pause

55:07

after I finish talking and Google a man called Nick

55:09

Geonopolos. He

55:12

is, I would say, one of Australia's three
