8:02

know and people people like me they

8:04

like me yeah I really struggle to

8:06

answer the question in a single answer

8:08

because I think I can think of

8:11

some friend groups I'm in where I'm

8:13

the cheese and I'm there holding everybody

8:15

together I can think of some Some

8:17

places where I'm surrounded by people, I

8:19

just want to be the sauce, something

8:21

everybody expects, nobody's thinking about it twice.

8:23

Other friend groups, maybe I'm the spicy

8:26

pepper that's a little bit different standing

8:28

out doing something a little bit different.

8:30

I don't think there's only one pizza

8:32

topping that I am, but I do

8:34

think they're different in different groups. Oh,

8:36

then I say that answer too. You

8:38

have to. I'm everything as well. Yeah,

8:40

but where are you the cold cuts

8:43

on pizza, Rob? Where am I? Saskatchewan.

8:45

Like a ham. You're a cepresada. You're

8:47

mordidella. Mordidella. That sounds rude and you

8:49

know it. I'm gonna go basal. I'm

8:51

fresh. Right. Yeah. It's not too, like,

8:53

flashy, I guess, but... Not over-manipulated? It

8:55

really highlights the ingredients that it's with.

8:58

So I really like being the partner

9:00

to, like, a pepperoni, we'll say. Yeah,

9:02

because you honestly... Yeah. Because you're making

9:04

the pepperoni around. Like, I'm insane right

9:06

now. You don't put pepperoni on a

9:08

martini. I know. Maybe you have to

9:10

be a boxerara in this situation. So

9:12

I have to change. I have to

9:15

change so that I can help you.

9:17

You change to complement me. Thank you

17:47

job done. Let's move on. on well He can

17:54

Who else is over there? the my wife

17:56

18:04

man. I'd love to meet them. Please,

18:06

please, have a sin. I feel like

18:09

I've met my new best friend. You

18:11

know, what a weird feeling really like

18:13

knowing something is wrong, but like just

18:15

not being able to shake it. I

18:17

really must insist you go on your

18:19

way. Of course, of course. Sister not,

18:22

my friend. And Dorn sort of places

18:24

a hand on his shoulder and like

18:26

really does one of those nice massagey,

18:28

touchy feely, like, no, come on now.

18:30

Don't be shy. We're friendly. We're friendly,

18:33

right? Don't leave him alone. Let's go.

18:35

Come on, guys. Red starts, like, walking

18:37

away. Come on, let's go. Well, you

18:39

want to leave. We want to leave.

18:41

A lovely man, but he can take

18:44

it from here. Oh! Mari still has

18:46

starry form active. She shifts it over

18:48

into the dragon form, although the colors

18:50

are wrong and the consolation keeps shifting,

18:52

like she's trying to concentrate on it.

18:54

And she goes, you know what, I'm

18:57

just gonna take a little look around.

18:59

We've fought so many orchs and trolls,

19:01

maybe getting a little bit of a

19:03

view from up above, and I'll just,

19:05

uh, scout ahead. Oh, you mean down

19:08

the road? Yeah, down the road. I'm

19:10

just going to float over to the

19:12

other side of the river. Well, sure.

19:14

Let's have a little flap over. I

19:16

mean, sure. I guess I'll get the

19:19

horses then. Red like walks off to

19:21

get the horses. You might as well,

19:23

yeah. Mari's going to scoot over to

19:25

the other side. Red goes off into

19:27

the woods maybe 90 feet. Mari goes

19:29

across the river. You fly across the

19:32

river. I might as well use these

19:34

wings while I still got a magnet.

19:36

Yeah. Absolutely. Doran, you are super happy

19:38

just hanging out with this dude. Jack

19:40

staring daggers at Callum and lets the

19:43

wall of force drop around the house

19:45

as he concentrates his his power into

19:47

his staff again and looks the man

19:49

right in the eyes and says, you

19:51

know, since we're all being so charming

19:53

and friendly here, why don't you tell

19:56

us what's really

19:58

going on as he

20:00

tries to plant

20:02

that suggestion into the

20:04

that mind into

20:06

the And I think

20:09

Doran naively agrees. Doran us

20:11

20:15

going to do it. a 13. Oh. That's not

20:26

20:29

20:31

and he says oh, I'm trying trying

20:33

20:56

20:58

just, I'm gonna start by telling you I'm going

21:00

to start by telling you what I think is going

21:02

on, which is you're a who can turn who can turn

21:04

invisible. think you I think you should really just tell

21:06

us what the hell you're doing in this town. We

21:08

need to make a report to to We want to

21:11

list all the details, so why don't you spill them?

21:13

so why don't no them? attack. no town under

21:15

attack. was was was just an attack

21:17

on this lovely little cottage in

21:19

the woods woods in the is is... One

21:21

of several Giants missing my my happened

21:23

to see the creature turn invisible

21:26

become you swim you, under the

21:28

river into that boat come over

21:30

here that boat, come over here. Uh, fast up already. Jack,

21:32

think you're being a bit a bit rude.

21:34

What do you mean mean, giant? Um, I

21:37

mean, even if mean a if he is

21:39

a I mean, come I mean met on

21:41

giants before. What, what, what, before makes you not trust this,

21:43

you not trust this this charismaticmatic individual.

21:47

Because saw him attacking the house

21:49

and now he's lying to us. us. Attacking! We're

21:51

We're adventurers, damn it, Dorian. Get your head in

21:53

the game. Don't let this thing charm you.

21:55

This is a good practice. you. This is a good

21:57

be quite honest To be quite honest.

22:00

as I'm strangely compelled to be

22:02

right now. Yeah, I am a

22:04

giant. But I didn't attack any

22:06

of those people. See? I feel

22:08

like at this point, Red walks

22:11

back with the horses. Come on,

22:13

guys, come on. All right, we're

22:15

ready to go, yeah, or what?

22:18

We're about ready to go, but

22:20

I'm confused. It's okay, daughter. And

22:22

he sort of turns to Red.

22:24

You're turning this on a technicality,

22:27

Callum. Tell me you weren't with

22:29

those... Dead trolls and ogres over

22:31

there trying to tear this house

22:33

apart. Terror? What do you think

22:36

Callum was trying to tear the

22:38

house apart? Jack, what are you

22:40

talking about? Red, your friend Jack

22:42

has just uncovered my secret. Which

22:45

is? That I am an evil

22:47

giant. You're evil? Red walks right

22:49

up to him. You son of

22:52

a bitch. Jack. You can't just

22:54

let things be! Don't worry, Calum.

22:56

He also hated me for a

22:58

long time because I killed people

23:01

as well. I've killed a lot

23:03

of people. Me too. Red throws

23:05

his arms around the guy. I'm

23:07

right there with you. Jack can

23:10

be so mean! As Calum is

23:12

hugging you, he transforms back into

23:14

his normal form. Oh, wow! Which

23:17

is like... Very large dark blue

23:19

skinned yellow eyed giant with a

23:21

thousand needle sharp teeth long black

23:23

claws and he's just holding you

23:26

in an embrace for a minute.

23:28

Poor guy red tapping the back

23:30

of his like but I guess

23:32

I don't know how tall. He's

23:35

very tall. Imagine not being able

23:37

to be yourself Jack. That's some

23:39

real strength there to show your

23:41

true form. I have to say

23:44

I agree. I agree. And then

23:46

the giant just looks over his

23:48

shoulder at you... Oh! Doran jumps

23:51

into the group hug. There, there,

23:53

let it all out. I know

23:55

what it feels like! Oh, me

23:57

too. Trying to hide your true

24:00

feelings. I have something to tell

24:02

you. You promise you won't be

24:04

mad? I won't be mad. He

24:06

might be mad. Red points at

24:09

Jack. But we won't be bad.

24:11

I won't be mad either. And

24:13

the creature looks over Red's shoulder

24:16

at you, Jack. And it gives

24:18

you an unreadable expression. Mari, you

24:20

are hovering somewhere over this cottage,

24:22

wood smoke blowing in your face.

24:25

And you spot across the river,

24:27

your companions having a tender moment,

24:29

it looks like, with a blue

24:31

giant? What? Oh, she floats down

24:34

and kind of looks in the

24:36

windows to see if anything seems

24:38

like truly amiss. Like is anybody

24:40

like bleeding out and dying on

24:43

the ground in there? No, it

24:45

doesn't seem like... Anyone is terribly

24:47

worse for their wear, they're definitely

24:50

shook up and there's like a

24:52

barricade. They've sort of pushed their

24:54

bed and a cabinet against the

24:56

door and they seem like unsure

24:59

if everything's done or not. I'm

25:01

sure that another blue-faced person at

25:03

their window will do great, but

25:05

she knocks in the window and

25:08

gives the thumbs up. Yeah, yeah,

25:10

the lady goes, blah! Oh, I'm

25:12

sorry. I think it's fine. I

25:14

think it's fine. I have to

25:17

go back over there and deal

25:19

with whatever fresh hell is happening.

25:21

And she turns around and flies

25:24

back over watching Red and Doran

25:26

sob in whatever this creature's arms

25:28

as they all have a big,

25:30

like, soppy pile of feelings. And

25:33

she goes and lands beside Jack

25:35

and looks at him and goes.

25:37

I left for five minutes and

25:39

it appears that things have spiraled

25:42

madly out of control so I'm

25:44

going to need a little bit

25:46

of catching up here. You're not

25:49

going to believe this Mari. Callum,

25:51

why don't you catch her up?

25:53

I admit that I charmed you.

25:55

I was just afraid. It's like

25:58

echoes through the valley. I knew

26:00

it. Be I knew

26:02

it. Be accepted

26:04

I don't blame you. Do you

26:07

want to, do don't

26:09

blame you. Do you

26:11

No, no, you got him, don't worry.

26:13

him, don't worry! in the

26:15

back and pulls of

26:17

giant handkerchief that he

26:19

found in a giant handkerchief that he

26:21

found in the cloud giant's castle. You

26:24

can use mine. Thanks, through

26:26

the valley. echoes through the valley.

26:28

as I was saying, there's a

26:30

big gang of trolls and a big

26:32

gang of trolls and would and

26:34

I thought that I would

26:36

only be safe from them

26:38

if I was in their

26:40

gang, because, you know, like

26:42

people like us, we don't

26:44

like the littler ones, and know,

26:46

and if you're not strong

26:48

and tough. might kill you.

26:50

might kill you. and fate rude is

26:53

the the worst. hard time

26:55

to be a giant out

26:57

there. there. Yeah. Promise that you're not

26:59

not going to hate, I stop charming

27:01

you. charming you? I I

27:04

would I hate you! you. Yeah, you

27:06

can stop charming me me I

27:08

think my feelings are genuine. are

27:10

and then And then Red and Doran,

27:12

the charm falls from

27:14

your brain. you realize

27:17

that hanging out hanging out

27:19

with a weird In the spirit

27:21

of cooperation, of cooperation Jack

27:23

dismisses his suggestion that that...

27:25

This guy tell us what's going on

27:27

as well. on as well. He an an

27:30

embarrassed his over no,

27:32

don't. I think I like

27:34

you even more you even more now.

27:36

tighter. squeezes him tighter. Yeah. Jack, do you

27:38

you want to get on the

27:40

group hug? What's the group hug? Is

27:42

this come on what's happening here? Is away

27:45

from me. on in Jack? No, you stay

27:47

of love. No, you are worthy of

27:49

love. worthy of love. done some bad things

27:51

some you listen to me. Hey, You

27:53

listen to me. to me. Giant or or

27:55

human, doesn't matter. We We have

27:57

encountered some wonderful giants we we have

27:59

encountered... some terrible giants and it looks

28:02

like we've encountered a giant that's

28:04

caught in the middle between doing

28:06

what's right and what he has

28:08

to do to survive and and

28:10

we would be terrible adventurers and

28:12

terrible people if we didn't embrace

28:14

your want for change if we

28:16

didn't embrace you as the kind

28:18

of shining example that all gianthood

28:20

should be. Jack is he still

28:22

charms? Nope. Doran sort of backs

28:24

up and like stops crying and

28:26

wipes his face and he's like,

28:28

um, well, I have to say

28:30

I'm glad you're friendly. I'm just,

28:32

uh, I don't know why you

28:34

did that and now I feel

28:36

a little strange, but I'm glad

28:38

that, uh, I'm glad we're all

28:40

here, like, like red said. Um,

28:43

yeah. Hey, look, look, look, the

28:45

giant reopening, he's up. crazy thing,

28:47

but it's obviously affected everything. I

28:49

can't imagine what it would be

28:51

like if there was a humanoid

28:53

reordering and all of a sudden

28:55

all the tobaccoes were up for

28:57

grabs. I get it. I feel

28:59

like I feel like there's a

29:01

bit of an understanding here. You're

29:03

caught in the middle. I get

29:05

it. If ever there was a

29:07

time to reinvent yourself and take

29:09

a step in a new direction,

29:11

this is it. Hell yeah! But

29:13

unless you want to join us

29:15

again, office still stands. Red's Rovers,

29:17

Trollskold man, I hit me up.

29:19

I was just gonna say, Trollskold

29:21

man or maybe you need some

29:24

time in the city is a...

29:26

Send him to Trollskull is a...

29:28

He approaches. Giant, kill it! No!

29:30

Do you think I could? Live

29:32

in a city ever? I've never

29:34

seen the giant in Water Deep,

29:36

but you can be the first.

29:38

I don't think that would help

29:40

first. a shot look you could

29:42

do it for sure you're not

29:44

the only giant who's ever been

29:46

in water deep i'll tell you

29:48

that much if you went in

29:50

peacefully and you know you know

29:52

that and it's true i mean

29:54

what they're saying but you know

29:56

you can obviously change your looks

29:58

and not that you shouldn't be

30:00

yourself but you know you probably

30:02

would not scare as many people

30:05

if you went in looking like

30:07

you know one of us or

30:09

like more of a smaller creature

30:11

that that you know with less

30:13

sharp teeth just saying hey that's

30:15

true you can look like anybody

30:17

you want yeah just make them

30:19

look exactly like Jack and walk

30:21

away You know, I never really

30:23

considered my human form to be

30:25

something that I could just use.

30:27

Like live with? Yeah. Hey, we

30:29

all wear masks. Well, look, embrace

30:31

your giant hood. All I'm saying

30:33

is, you know, all we're all

30:35

saying here is, there's a lot

30:37

up in the air right now

30:39

and... You know try to hurt

30:41

less people in fact we just

30:43

encountered a bunch of bandits the

30:46

other day that we gave the

30:48

same pep talk to Some of

30:50

them didn't hear and they got

30:52

ripped apart by trees But you

30:54

seem to be receptive to the

30:56

message and I think that that

30:58

could be a good start. Maybe

31:00

you could be a shiny example

31:02

to other types of your car.

31:04

What kind of giant are you

31:06

by the way? Oh I know

31:08

the Oneys, yes, yes. I mean

31:10

you had me a blue and

31:12

magic. She gives, she goes to

31:14

give a little fist bump. Got

31:16

a lot of common. Yeah, he

31:18

gives you a fist bump with

31:20

his giant, terrible clawed hand. Oh,

31:22

it's fine. It's scary. Look, don't

31:24

cave to peer pressure, stay righteous

31:27

out there, and hit me up

31:29

in Troll Skull Manor. Do you

31:31

guys know of any like, like

31:33

ruins or anything nearby that I

31:35

could like... Hide in for a

31:37

while. Yeah, holes of the hunting

31:39

axis, just down that way. I'll,

31:41

uh, I'll take a look. Yeah,

31:43

take a look. It's a wonderful

31:45

place. Ah. Listen, Calum, I'm gonna

31:47

send you a letter in a

31:49

couple of weeks to check up

31:51

31:53

32:10

are are we coming up against so many

32:12

gangs? How hard is this done? How hard is these

32:14

giants are all struggling to find their

32:16

way in this new world. It makes sense

32:18

they need to band together to survive.

32:20

Aren't we all? they know. to find

32:22

a group to survive? Aren't we some meaning

32:24
