Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. At Mint Mobile, we

0:02

like to do the opposite of what big

0:04

wireless does. They charge you a lot, we

0:06

charge you a little. So naturally, when they

0:08

announced they'd be raising their prices due to

0:11

inflation, we decided to deflate our prices due

0:13

to not hating you. That's right, we're cutting

0:15

the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a

0:17

month to just $15 a

0:20

month. Give it a try

0:22

at mintmobile.com/Switch. $45 upfront

0:24

payment equivalent to $15 per month. New customers on

0:27

first three month plan only. Taxes and fees extra. Right

0:29

slower above 40 gigabytes of detail. To get people excited

0:31

0:43

if you start repeating yourself. Even if you're on

0:45

your deathbed and you need to make one last call. Or

0:47

text. Right, or text. The long lost son

0:49

you abandoned at birth. You'll still get unlimited talk, text, and data

0:51

1:05

Once upon a time, there was a peaceful

1:07

village at the bottom of a beautiful hill.

1:09

But these things cannot last. As an evil

1:12

army led by a villainous man came and

1:14

took what wasn't his. But these things too

1:16

cannot last. As one day, a brave girl

1:18

wearing glass slippers snuck into the villainous man's

1:21

castle and took back what wasn't his. For

1:23

her bravery, the village made her their leader.

1:26

For her grace, they gave her

1:28

a name. You

1:30

can see there is a sarcophagus of

1:32

sorts. It's Lady Annelle, your mother. Ho

1:35

ho ho ho ho ho ho

1:37

ho ho ho ho ho ho

1:39

ho ho. Don't disturb the dead, ya fool.

1:43

No good can come of it. I just want

1:45

to make sure she's in there and not lurching

1:47

around in a tomb somewhere. All the elegance of

1:49

House Grace is absent here.

1:51

This is a place of

1:53

dark business. We see a podium,

1:56

an opponent is a leather bound

1:58

tomb. Everything about this. book screams

2:02

no bad evil. Additionally

2:05

on a sort of

2:07

rack almost is the

2:09

desiccated kind of bulbous

2:11

head of an elhoon.

2:14

I did not realize your father had taken

2:16

that one. Wasn't so scary after all. Why

2:19

was I doing that? Why did you say

2:21

that? You didn't have to say

2:23

that. You couldn't say it. Lada. Cinder.

2:27

Son of a bitch. The elhoon

2:29

head slowly raises the sun. Yeah

2:33

yeah yeah. No no no no. Absolutely

2:37

not. The three of you are bathed

2:39

in darkness. I cannot have

2:42

my revenge on your father, but

2:44

I will take it out on

2:46

you. The sarcophagi have

2:48

been broken open and the

2:50

corpses of your ancestors fight

2:53

you now. One of them,

2:55

the furthest away from you, your

2:57

mother wears only just fine

2:59

clothes. No weapon or arms

3:01

or armor. Good stuff.

3:04

Good stuff. Good stuff. Good stuff. I'm

3:07

gonna have to kill my mother again. Good

3:09

stuff. Doodoo swings

3:11

with her hammer trying to get

3:13

as high up as possible on

3:16

one of your great great great

3:18

grandfather. Karateka's Grace. Karateka's Grace. Yeah

3:20

Karateka's Grace. Trying

3:22

to strike it young. As in from the strike at

3:25

the court of King Karateka. Karateka's Grace. May have two

3:27

legs, you just pass by. Doodoo

3:29

deals 39 points of damage to

3:32

the creature. Oh yes. I've

3:34

kind of Karateka's Grace. Karateka's

3:37

Grace's head soars clear off his

3:39

shoulders. Both head and corpse

3:41

fall lifeless. You're down to seven.

3:43

As the head hits the ground,

3:46

his many gold teeth scatter on

3:48

the floor. Pops brain goes. It's

3:52

been your pop, it's your turn. So

3:54

something I've remembered Adam. On the

3:57

first turn of any combat, I get three

3:59

attacks. You are. held down by hands. Yeah,

4:01

like an attack of three times. Not with

4:04

the sword you can't. No, but I can

4:06

with my unarmed stock! Um,

4:10

oh no, I have the uh, I

4:12

have Torquald Bane. I have that dagger.

4:15

Okay, yeah. Can I get to

4:17

that? Or it's too hard. You can draw

4:19

and wield Torquald's Bane while being grappled? Yes.

4:22

It's meant for killing dragons, but I mean

4:24

it is a sharp thing. Yeah. I'm just

4:26

trying to get loose of the hands is

4:28

really what I'm doing. You use Torquald's Bane

4:30

like a pry bar. To try? That's what

4:32

I'm trying to do. It's an attack though,

4:34

so I get to do it three times.

4:37

Basically, I'm furious.

4:40

Oh, you rude

4:42

little bastards. Using

4:45

Torquald's Bane, almost using

4:48

this ancestral famous

4:51

weapon. The

4:53

one, the one Torquald's Bane in

4:55

the world, you use it like

4:57

a pry bar. Yeah, you're gonna,

4:59

breaking the knuckles and ligaments of

5:01

the hands holding you. Get your

5:04

hands off my shit. Torquald's Bane

5:06

now bends slightly to the right.

5:08

That's all right. It's still gonna

5:10

be a killer dragon. All right.

5:12

Well, maybe.

5:15

You're gonna put this in a museum later? I haven't

5:18

decided. When things like this happen, do you think

5:20

you're adding to the history or destroying

5:22

the history? It's complicated.

5:27

Pop, those three attacks, you have movement and a

5:29

bonus action if you want to do anything there.

5:31

Am I now free? Yeah. You can stand up.

5:33

So I'm standing up as the bonus action? No,

5:36

standing up is party or movement. Okay, so I'm

5:38

gonna stand up. Yeah. I just, I put the,

5:40

I look at Torquald's Bane. I

5:44

just, I try to like sort of straighten it against

5:46

my like hip a bit. Oh, that's not gonna work.

5:48

I put it away. That's a problem for another day.

5:50

Try straightening it out a little bit

5:52

and it becomes loose in the

5:54

scavit. I just put it away.

5:57

And then I ready a holy avenger. I

6:00

sort of clock what's happening through who's kind

6:02

of fighting, but I see that Tiffany's fighting

6:05

the goo man So I'm

6:07

like okay. Tiffany's got the goo

6:09

man. I'm gonna try and get

6:11

all of the undead to come

6:13

to me Okay, well not

6:15

all but try to get them to go

6:17

this way Yeah, I'm act as like a

6:19

shepherding for for Tiffany. I am big I

6:22

6:43

bonus action be to put through do back

6:45

6:50

7:14

a moment. She assesses your combat potential It's

7:17

7:19

I pick up the sword and I'm just like

8:45

get a hit it They

8:50

are all adept

8:52

fighters Yeah, they are

8:54

all famous heroes. Yeah, but karate

8:56

has died so easy Ancestral

9:01

enemies All

9:04

its karate cuz I just

9:06

remember that because I'm a I've got a

9:08

favored enemy I think is it

9:11

the house so great. It could be now. No,

9:13

I'm pretty sure it's else Yeah,

9:19

I don't know why yeah pop you take 56 points

9:22

of damage, okay I can body that

9:25

but I only just and if it

9:27

happens again, I will be fine. You're but

9:29

if it happens a third Will

9:33

die you're on 78 hit points. That's

9:35

more than 60 House

9:38

grace comes at you from

9:41

all angles with practiced precision

9:43

like like they were training

9:46

for this exact situation

9:49

One of them will strike at you from one angle

9:51

and you Defend there a

9:54

little too late only to realize that

9:56

that was an opening for a much

9:58

greater blow from another one You are

10:00

stabbed in the gut twice. And

10:03

I don't mean by a dagger, a

10:05

long sword pierces your belly

10:07

near to the hilt twice.

10:12

Fuck. I've been through worse.

10:14

I have. I believe it. You

10:17

can hear Thudu is not faring better

10:19

on your back. And at one point

10:21

she cries out in dwarven, it's something

10:24

in dwarven and then repeats, my

10:26

lady, no. You

10:28

look over your shoulder to see Lydiannel's

10:31

corpse driving a dagger into her chest.

10:33

So the thing is, like, if I

10:35

have to kill Lydiannel, that'd be fine,

10:38

but it's not thematically cool. It's

10:42

the hands turn. Everyone needs to make

10:44

the saving throw. I forgot about the

10:46

hands. Pop, wait,

10:48

can this help me? Yeah. Good.

10:51

It's a dexterity saving throw. Oh, well

10:53

what about doubling my proficiency bonus until

10:56

the start of my next turn? That would be helpful

10:58

because you're going to fail. I'm going to spend it.

11:00

All right. You manage

11:03

to save and not get grabbed by

11:05

the hands. Tiffany, you're

11:07

just really good at this check. Thudu

11:09

gets advantage because she's off the ground. Actually,

11:11

Thudu just doesn't even grab her. They

11:14

can't grab me, they can't grab her. They can't

11:16

reach her, yeah. All right, well, that was the

11:18

hands turn. Tiffany, it's your turn. Okay.

11:20

Am I able to... Oh.

11:25

I'm not facing behind me. No,

11:27

you're not facing behind you. Famously,

11:30

few of us are. Yeah, I looked

11:32

and it felt like you had it

11:35

under control. Yeah. You're writhing in pain.

11:37

Can I hear? No, no, no, you're

11:39

behind technically because where the spear landed,

11:41

where Cinder landed, you are, if you

11:44

can imagine this, it's you facing the

11:46

back of the Al-Hoon, which

11:48

beyond which you can see Thudu

11:50

and Pop fighting the corpses of

11:53

your family. It's clear they're

11:55

not doing very well, isn't it? Yeah, they're struggling.

11:57

Oh, but okay, how much do I know? If

11:59

I... kill this Elhoon, first of all, do I

12:01

think that's possible? L will

12:30

fall down and stop. It's

14:00

doing something way worse. Oh

14:02

no. You feel a tendril

14:04

of thought slip into your

14:06

own mind. Yeah. Oh

14:08

no. Difini, you

14:10

are mind controlled by the

14:13

Alhoon. Uh oh. Um.

14:16

Die! You completely

14:18

withdraw Cinder, lay it

14:20

on the ground, put your chin

14:23

on the point of Cinder, and

14:26

that was the Alhoon's turn. Doodoo

14:29

is too distracted by fighting Lady Annel and

14:32

hasn't spotted this, so she's just going to

14:34

do her action. OK. All

14:36

right. OK. Well. Doodoo

14:40

crushes the head of another

14:42

member of House Grace. Annel's

14:45

gone? No, she hasn't.

14:47

She can't bring herself to do that. Well,

14:50

none of us. Who's this? Cinder, the

14:52

original. No,

14:54

it wouldn't be Cinder. No, Cinder's fighting you. That's

14:58

that sword in my belly, yeah. Yeah.

15:01

18, 20, 26 points of damage. Another

15:04

member of House Grace falls to Doodoo's

15:06

hammer. She's a menace.

15:08

And the hammer's fine. Yeah. The hammer's

15:11

fine, yeah. That's crazy. Aloysius Grace. Aloysius

15:14

Grace also died like that. Yeah, yeah,

15:16

yeah. Not by Doodoo. Not by Doodoo.

15:18

No, having his head knocked into the

15:20

floor. No, having his head knocked into

15:22

the floor. All right. That was Doodoo's

15:25

turn. She destroys another member of House

15:27

Grace. I'm going to need

15:29

to roll for you as well, to be honest. You're pretty distracted.

15:31

You are surrounded. Yeah, I was about to be like,

15:33

do I notice? You physically, you

15:36

can't see. I don't notice? You don't spot

15:38

it. Then I don't notice, Adam. OK.

15:42

Well, I've got great news. For

15:44

good news, Holy Avenger

see she didn't roll that well actually 10 20

20:06

20:12

40 points of damage. That's a lot considering. I

20:14

don't have I have only 78 Yeah,

20:17

yeah, and the other guy

20:19

the other guy doesn't feel like he's as

20:22

strong cinder Lunges at you with the tip

20:24

of her sword. She uses it's a it

20:26

would be a bastard sword a hand and

20:28

a half sword So it's it's not a

20:30

regular long sword. It's made for that to

20:33

be adaptable It can be used in one

20:35

or two hands, but when she lunges at

20:37

you with it you see she moves Like

20:41

like it's a dagger. She moves

20:44

with it. So lightly so dexterously

20:46

so gracefully Pops

20:49

in love The

20:51

point of the sword is directly

20:54

aiming at your heart you are

20:56

about to be skewered But

20:58

at the last moment you

21:01

turn just enough so that thudu comes

21:03

around and with her hammer She

21:05

slams it into the sword knocking

21:07

it down and it skips off

21:09

the ground instead cinder

21:12

Sprints past the two of you without

21:14

provoking attacks of opportunity Moving

21:17

like a dancer and you have only a

21:19

moment to appreciate that before the other one

21:21

does hit you This

21:23

is Grace's dad sure okay,

21:25

I don't know who is this Abner

21:28

Grace Abner Yeah, Abner

21:30

deals you 24

21:32

points of damage that's nothing nothing Can I just say

21:34

if I had it if I had a cop the

21:37

cinder damage and I cop that damage I would have

21:39

coped about 64 points of damage. You put

21:41

me on a grand total of like 10

21:44

hell yeah, that's plenty. Yeah, that's all you need to

21:46

live The

21:48

hands don't attack you this time

21:50

because you are no longer an enemy of the

21:52

owl hoon. Oh, yes You

21:55

managed to dodge out of the way of

21:57

the hands and thudu is saved because you're

21:59

saved And then

22:01

that was the hands turn,

22:03

Tiffany. You

22:06

bring your head up and slam your

22:08

head down onto Cinder. And

22:12

Cinder hates that and it doesn't work right

22:15

because you can't kill Grace with Grace. You

22:17

never heard the ones you love. Yes and none. Okay.

22:20

As you're slamming your head down,

22:22

you feel something gentle tuck underneath

22:25

your chin, preventing you from bringing

22:27

your head down upon the point

22:29

of Cinder. You are not mentally

22:31

conscious to the world right now

22:33

or in that moment, you were

22:35

not mentally conscious to the world.

22:37

The Al'Hoon had control of your

22:39

mind and body. But,

22:41

Tiffany, you blink once and your

22:44

body is once again your own

22:46

or it feels like you're more

22:48

frozen in your body as you

22:50

look into the pale ghostly eyes

22:53

of a very familiar face. Yeah.

22:58

Two ghostly pale hands are holding

23:00

you on either cheek and staring

23:03

straight into your eyes. It

23:05

is a very, as I said,

23:07

familiar face. She slowly

23:10

pushes your head back up and

23:12

you slowly regain control of your

23:14

body. Is it my mum? Yes. So

23:17

that's okay. So the corpse of the mum? Is

23:19

it the corpse of the mum or? No, it's

23:21

a ghost. Oh,

23:24

okay. Pop, at this exact moment,

23:30

stepping out of the walls where

23:32

each sarcophagus is, a ghostly figure

23:34

appears. You recognize them immediately. Each

23:36

one of them is either a

23:39

corpse you have felled already. Or

23:41

I'm about to. Or I'm about

23:43

to. Completely

23:45

silently, none of them make any noise other than

23:47

the passing of air as each of

23:50

them stepped out of the wall. Each of them draws

23:52

a weapon, lowers them at their

23:54

own respective figure or at the

23:56

Elhun if their respective figure has already

23:58

been slain. and they get to

24:00

work. Oh, fucking Lord

24:02

of the Rings, baby. Oh my God. Pop,

24:06

you were the first to spot this. Hang

24:08

on, I'm gonna write this down because Tiffany

24:10

hasn't seen it yet. I'm pretty sure I

24:13

know what Tiffany's staring at right now. I'm

24:16

gonna write this down just so that we

24:18

can all bask in your reaction to this.

24:20

Okay, okay, okay, I'm excited. As,

24:23

hang on, wow. So these corpses have come out.

24:26

I take my hat off that I am

24:28

wearing, my big straw hat. My

24:31

humble apologies for desecrating your corpses, but as I'm

24:33

sure you can understand and attest with, they were

24:35

going to fuck up my shit. So

24:37

I put it back on my head. You could

24:40

not spot this because of the age

24:42

and the level of decay. You could

24:44

not spot this, but with the ghostly

24:46

figures, you can see this. It's very

24:49

obvious. Okay, I'm

24:51

gonna read the note that Adam just handed me. Don't read

24:53

it, just react. To myself. I'm

24:56

just gonna go outside the studio for a minute.

24:59

I'll be back. He's leaving. He left.

25:02

He left, he had to go. Oh

25:04

my God, what is that? He's standing

25:07

through the little window into the

25:09

studio. He's standing and pointing at

25:11

Adam and screaming at me. He's

25:14

saying, fuck you, fuck you, flipping Adam off.

25:16

Really gonna stand there. I'm gonna say, I'm

25:18

gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say,

25:20

I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna

25:22

say, I'm gonna say, really gonna soundproof. I

25:24

see why he left. Yeah. Um.

25:28

Oh, God, bro. Mercy me. Oh, hey guys.

25:31

Hey, hey man. Hey, how was it outside the studio?

25:34

I can't even. Pretty good. I can't even think of what that

25:36

could be to make you do that. It's

25:39

pretty good. It's pretty good. Man,

25:41

hey, you know what's crazy? Yeah,

25:43

I can't the statue now. Um.

25:48

Huh? Pops.

25:53

Pops? That thing that I just

25:55

learned. Yeah. I just very

25:57

quietly. Fuck off.

25:59

Oh fuck. No. That

26:04

fucking boss. Wait,

26:10

you know about this too? Yeah, I know what this is.

26:12

Oh my God. I know what's

26:14

going on. All right, Tiffany. Want me to eat this or?

26:17

Yeah, I'd love that. Actually, please.

26:20

Tiffany, you may

26:22

act. I'm back in my

26:24

body? Yeah, you're back in your body. You

26:26

have full control. Your mother- She's still touching

26:28

me? Yeah, she moves to be standing next

26:30

to you, puts one hand on your back

26:33

and another hand on your hands holding cinder.

26:36

There's no strength behind what she's doing. It

26:38

feels more like a gesture. Does it

26:40

feel like she's ready to attack the Elhoon with me? She's

26:42

following your guide. Okay, we

26:44

attack the Elhoon. All right. I'm not going

26:46

after her corpse, obviously. Elhoon? Motherfuckers,

26:53

I'm still cooking. There's not.

26:56

Like I said, there's not a lot of

26:58

strength behind her movements or there's basically no

27:00

strength behind her movements, but you nonetheless feel

27:02

as if an extra force, not just cinder,

27:04

but some extra force is guiding you. While

27:07

this is all happening, do I notice

27:09

anything? You're pretty focused

27:11

on the mother-daughter activity that you're

27:14

currently engaged in, I think. I

27:16

will allow a role with disadvantage.

27:20

Actually, no. No? Okay. I'm not

27:22

noticing anything. Get a good boy card. Well

27:24

done. Okay. I'm

27:26

just wondering how obvious it is. Okay.

27:29

We got a good boy card. Iron skin.

27:31

You gain resistance to damage from non-magical attacks.

27:33

Okay, cool. Awesome. Would

27:35

have been helpful, yeah. Non-magical attacks. Not

27:39

corpses, they're using weapon- Corpses are a regular sword,

27:41

I guess. You deal 25 points of damage. Good

27:44

job. Nice. Hell yeah. Just,

27:46

Adam, can I ask a question? Yeah. Does

27:48

she feel like a mum? You didn't

27:51

really properly appreciate

27:54

what it's like to have someone who

27:56

loves you help you. And

28:03

I can feel that now, yeah. There's

28:05

no, like I said, no force, but there is a

28:07

warmth to where she touches. That's

28:09

interesting. That's interesting. And it,

28:11

uh, and I kind of just know she's there.

28:14

Yeah. And I know that she wants to help.

28:16

Yeah. And I feel that if she were

28:19

to vanish suddenly, I would know that

28:21

that's cause she, she, she would still

28:23

want to help me. Yeah. So I

28:25

have some sort of secure attachment to

28:27

my mother. Interesting. So I don't

28:29

have to work for this love. No, you

28:32

look. Where's the trick of the training exercise?

28:34

So she's actually, she actually did meet me

28:36

just now and she does love me. Looking

28:39

over your shoulder at her behind

28:41

you, you see she cannot, whatever

28:44

is allowing her to be here

28:46

does not allow sound. She is completely

28:49

mute without noise, but you can see

28:51

that tears are rolling down her face.

28:54

And when you look at her, she looks down at

28:56

you and a bitter,

28:59

but nonetheless, happy smile crosses

29:01

her face. Does it

29:03

look like she's upset at how I look? Cool. No,

29:06

it looks, she

29:08

looks happy when she sees

29:10

you. The smile appears when she's

29:13

looking at you. That's interesting. So

29:15

she seems happy to even look

29:17

at me. Yeah. And

29:19

there's, and I, I'm taking her

29:21

with me after this. All

29:25

right. The owl hoon is bloodied. So you've

29:27

done at least half its hit points. Oh,

29:29

amazing. Yeah. All right. Speaking of, I think

29:32

it's its turn. Yep. The

29:34

owl hoon screams telepathically in

29:36

all directions. It

29:39

is furious that you did not

29:41

kill your animal. Still

29:45

screaming telepathically. Not

29:48

like that. More

29:50

like that. Raps one of its

29:52

tendrils around your arm and constricts

29:54

it down. You feel one of

29:56

your, one of your bones and

29:58

your forearm break. And you

30:00

feel a chill to the bone

30:02

that seems to banish the warmth

30:04

that you have been feeling growing

30:07

from within you and spreading outwards.

30:09

The warmth is fighting against it,

30:11

but while they fight, you will

30:13

still take 14 points

30:15

of damage. For a forearm? Yeah, for

30:17

a forearm. Well, thank God I've got three

30:19

more. That's

30:22

funny. Thudu gets

30:24

a critical hit and stay down,

30:27

triple damage, and they need to

30:29

make a DC con saving throw

30:32

or be knocked prune. Let

30:34

me just quickly check if it needs to

30:36

even roll the stay stand. She

30:38

does so much damage. Yeah, she's a baller,

30:41

dude. She's very cool. Yeah, this would be

30:43

Abner. She's like Abner's fighting me. Yeah.

30:45

This would be Phoenix Grace. Phoenix Grace

30:47

takes 96 points

30:50

of damage. Jesus Christ.

30:53

And is Freud instant.

30:55

The ghost of Phoenix

30:58

Grace wielding a staff.

31:01

Obviously, quite obviously once a powerful wizard. I'm going

31:03

to write that down. The ghost

31:05

of Phoenix Grace looks at Thudu, can't

31:11

say anything, but looks at

31:13

Thudu like, what? And

31:16

then it is pop your turn. Where's Cinder?

31:18

Because she's the biggest threat. I don't care

31:21

about fighting Cinder. You know what?

31:23

She's got it. I

31:25

was going to be like, ma'am, I

31:27

apologize for this and then attack Cinder,

31:29

but I feel like ghost Cinder can

31:31

handle zombie Cinder. Sure. I look

31:34

to what I assume is the

31:36

ghost of Abner Grace. Yeah. And

31:38

I swing Holy Avenger around and

31:40

I just take my hat off

31:42

again because he's a ghost. My apologies

31:44

again, my Lord, but I need

31:47

to do this. I hope you understand. I'll try to

31:49

make it as, you know, and I

31:51

sort of look to what Thudu has just done and

31:53

not like that. And I put my hat back

31:56

on, but there's a little part of me inside.

31:58

It could be like that. And I. go

32:00

ham on Abner Grace. Was

32:03

Abner, maybe you don't know

32:05

the answer to this right now. Was Abner a good man?

32:08

I think Abner got the job done. Yeah,

32:12

that builds this. Yeah, I see that.

32:14

Yeah. Did what was

32:16

required. Yes, absolutely. And

32:19

say that Grace did what was required.

32:21

Yeah, slightly differently, but yeah. Abner was

32:23

a man who believed in meeting one's

32:26

obligations. Absolutely, I imagine him looking slightly

32:28

like Tywin Lannister from the Game of

32:30

Thrones TV show. Yeah. Abner,

32:32

well, in that case, Abner's response is just a

32:35

curtain nod. There seems to be no emotion to

32:37

this for him. Fair enough. To

32:39

him, this is a dusty corpse. 24

32:42

points of damage to Abner. Abner is destroyed. Your

32:45

second attack? Oh, yeah, that

32:48

was your first attack. Holy Avenger's really

32:50

good at undead. Yeah, it is. Cinder's

32:52

still fighting Cinder? How is

32:54

Cinder doing against Cinder? It'd

32:57

be funny to say perfectly, evenly

33:00

matched. But no, the ghost is

33:02

a ghost. Yeah,

33:04

what the ghost lacks in mass, though,

33:07

she more than makes up

33:09

for in perfect recollection of her

33:11

abilities. You watch, the corpse seems

33:13

like just a pale shadow. There

33:15

is a memory of its skill

33:18

still trapped within the corpse. But

33:20

when I described the corpse moving

33:23

like a dancer before, you

33:25

see now it's like someone

33:27

drunkenly shambling in a tavern

33:30

versus a ballerina.

33:32

It is not the same.

33:34

Question. Could I provide some

33:36

of the information that I have learned right now?

33:39

You could call it out. Yeah, you got a

33:41

moment. I've got a time to call it

33:43

out. You are outnumbering the enemies for once. So

33:45

Cinder is fighting Cinder. I want to get ghost

33:47

Cinder's attention. So I hold

33:49

Holy Avenger out behind corpse Cinder. And I'm trying

33:51

to, the idea is I want Cinder to see

33:54

what I'm doing and knock corpse Cinder

33:56

into Holy Avenger so I could just rip corpse

33:59

Cinder apart. together. Yeah,

34:01

so to get Cinder's

34:03

attention, I'll

34:05

turn to the ghost of Cinder

34:07

the original Grace and I say,

34:09

horns over here. Tiffany,

34:13

you at the name turn around

34:15

and you can see. Pop, would

34:17

you like to say Cinder Grace

34:19

is a Tiefling. You

35:12

know, as a busy mom, there are a

35:15

few ways you can build strong muscles. You

35:17

could get a gym membership, which you'll never

35:20

use, buy all sorts of expensive equipment for

35:22

your garage that you'll forget you have, pay

35:24

for a personal trainer that you'll never have

35:26

time to meet with, and buy a fitness

35:28

watch that only makes you sad every time

35:30

you look at it. Or you could go

35:33

for an easy run and try some milk,

35:35

which helps build strong muscles. Visit

35:37

going to need milk.com for more

35:39

info. And please don't make yourself

35:41

sad. Selling a little or
