0:28

you see The Nice Kilt? An adventurous sort,

0:31

I see. Oh, he's killed hundreds

0:33

of people! Geez, Red, don't make

0:35

me sound like such a psychopath. Did

0:37

you tip the piano player? And

0:39

down his morass style anyway, eh,

0:41

whimmy? I noticed your own prowess

0:43

out there, Timiel. The way that you took

0:45

out two of them at the same time.

0:48

One monumental task at a time.

0:50

I could go for a brew. Better not to

0:52

us. Hell yeah! Well, this looks lovely!

0:55

Well look

0:59

you don't

1:02

I think

1:05

I think

1:08

a few

1:12

more

1:15

drinks

1:18

are in

1:21

order Yeah

1:24

Oh, Marvin,

1:27

Tedder. Yeah.

1:30

Congrats, Marvin

1:34

Tanner. You're

1:36

this week's

1:39

MVP. All

1:41

right, should

1:44

we play

1:46

some D&D?

1:48

Yeah, let's

1:50

do it. Whoo! in

1:53

dead snows. Having been

1:55

kicked out of the

1:57

harvest room by Matild

1:59

for... a barroom brawl. The four

2:01

of you are out in the

2:04

rain. How do you kick someone

2:06

out? We're paying customers. I mean,

2:08

look, this town is a fighting

2:10

town. The odds of fights happening

2:13

in the bar is just... Well,

2:15

it's got to be high odds,

2:17

right? It's literally her one rule,

2:19

no fighting in the bars. She

2:22

says it almost immediately when anyone

2:24

walks in. I think it's posted

2:26

several places as well. Yeah, that's

2:28

true. Actually, she did say it

2:31

to us. Yeah. All right, fair

2:33

enough. There's a version of the

2:35

sign, like on the door. Well,

2:37

to be fair though, we didn't

2:40

start that fight, but we sure

2:42

as hell finished it, finished it

2:44

to, uh... Tamil. And Tamil responds,

2:46

but she's giving you another once

2:49

over and she says, you didn't

2:51

kill that one that you were

2:53

fighting. Well, yeah, did you see

2:55

him squirm the way he did

2:58

after I cut him the first

3:00

time? He was quite the amateur.

3:02

Yeah, I didn't want to kill

3:04

somebody that really didn't know what

3:07

they were doing. Very merciful. Yeah,

3:09

I mean I would have done

3:11

the same I didn't know we

3:13

were I didn't look I don't

3:16

have arrows that don't kill people

3:18

I tried it once but it

3:20

just ended up being really splintery

3:22

to people and then they died

3:25

afterwards but You are you're not

3:27

upset that I killed that guy

3:29

did you are you a pacifist

3:31

warrior? Not at all. I am

3:34

impressed at your tactical prowess your

3:36

positioning in that fight was amazing

3:38

oh the way that you took

3:40

out two of them at the

3:43

same time oh thank you I

3:45

am I just like being on

3:47

pianos hmm it's it's typically a

3:49

good good place that's not true

3:52

it was tactically smart look at

3:54

the at the end of the

3:56

day I really like thinking through

3:58

battles and stuff like that. I

4:01

didn't make it as clear before

4:03

because other members of the party

4:05

didn't like when I was tactical

4:07

too much. They like to just

4:10

kind of go and see how

4:12

it went. But they're dead now.

4:14

Tameel leans close to you read,

4:16

did you tip the piano player?

4:19

Always, always, at Pats's pocket. Tomorrow.

4:21

Tomorrow. I noticed your own prowess

4:23

out there, Tamil. Yeah! And don't

4:25

get me wrong. Just because I

4:28

spared that one defenseless little bugger's

4:30

life, doesn't mean I wouldn't, you

4:32

know, happily take someone out of

4:34

the knees or the neck or

4:37

the face. Oh, he's killed hundreds

4:39

of people, thousands, probably. frames and

4:41

enemies alike! Excellent, and then to

4:43

like someone passing by in the

4:46

street. Nothing to see here, we're

4:48

just talking. Perhaps we should go

4:50

some place a little more private.

4:52

Just the weird looks we're getting.

4:55

Look, we don't know dead snows

4:57

at all. We literally just came

4:59

here a few hours ago. It's

5:01

true. What else is this place

5:04

got? Is there another bar maybe?

5:06

Or even where are you staying?

5:08

Well, the harvest room here is...

5:10

the most well-known and well-appointed of

5:13

lodgings, and has the best food,

5:15

I would say, but there is

5:17

a slightly smaller and a little

5:19

more run-down place just at the

5:22

edge of town. Run down is

5:24

more our style anyway, eh, whimmy?

5:26

Red nudges, whim nods. Yeah, that

5:28

sounds great. What's it called? What's

5:31

it called to me? Let's hear

5:33

it. Reditor, like, lean closer. The

5:35

rundown. It's called the Knife's Hilt.

5:38

Oh, that's cool. Perfect. The Knife's

5:40

Hilt. Oh, wow. Sounds like a

5:42

dangerous cutthroat place. I bet they

5:45

allow fighting, too. Hmm. Did you

5:47

say the nice kilt? To meel

5:49

chuckles. They have no express prohibition

5:51

against it. but probably best not

5:54

to get tossed out of every

5:56

place that has a bed in

5:58

this town. Hey, fair, fair, fair,

6:01

good, good, good, good, good, good,

6:03

good, good, good, good, yes, we,

6:05

we don't typically make trouble. Well,

6:08

um, follow me, I suppose. Wonderful.

6:10

And then she stops short, wait.

6:12

Oh, what do you think's wrongs

6:15

with the stew, Red? I... I

6:17

have... I have to eat that

6:19

stew. There's nothing I want more

6:22

than to try that stew. I

6:24

knew. You gotta stop me, buddy.

6:26

I don't want to embarrass myself

6:29

in front of Tamil. Well, it's

6:31

only on my brain. Doran suddenly

6:33

twisted up with the thought of

6:36

trying to stop him from eating

6:38

the stew. Oh, okay. Just do

6:40

your best. Hey, Tamil, where have

6:42

you been laying your head at

6:45

night? Is it at this nice

6:47

kilt that we're going to? Knife's

6:49

health. Stayed a few nights there,

6:52

but I've also been camping outside.

6:54

When the weather's more forgiving, it's

6:56

nice to be under the stars.

6:59

This is true. Yeah. Ah. Matild

7:01

said you've been here a few

7:03

ten day. So why? Why have

7:06

you spent so much time here?

7:08

I mean, if you were like

7:10

us, given the quest for the

7:13

ordining, you know, why have you

7:15

been hanging out so long? That's

7:17

a story that's going to need

7:20

a few more drinks, I think.

7:22

Handsome stew, right, okay. Don't, no,

7:24

you're right, no stew, damn it

7:26

darn it, no, no stew for

7:29

you. An adventurous sort, I see.

7:31

Well, look, we can tell you

7:33

our side of it at least.

7:36

We, uh, we have taken down

7:38

a few of them already. We

7:40

dealt with the hill giants a

7:43

few months back. That was with

7:45

our first companion, Kralof. A place

7:47

called Grudhog. And he passed away

7:50

shortly after. And then we took

7:52

on the stone giants, and that

7:54

was with our second companion, Mari.

7:57

They were only a few weeks

7:59

back now, up in the gray

8:01

peak mountains, near Doran's home. We

8:04

stopped into his... his town of

8:06

Scarborough to meet his mom and

8:08

foil a cousin. Well, Scarborough, I

8:11

love their fair. It's so... Oh,

8:13

you've been there? Once, yes. Lovely

8:15

music too. Lovely place. Oh, interesting.

8:17

Have you traveled much elsewhere in

8:20

Fairoon? I have. Before I was

8:22

set up on this particular quest,

8:24

I was a bit of an

8:27

adventurer. Oh. Traveled around with some

8:29

friends. That's where I

8:31

gathered all those emeralds. Oh, she

8:33

looks a little a little self-conscious

8:36

about about that So the four

8:38

of us make our way through

8:40

the rain down to almost like

8:43

a warehouse district surrounded by dead-end

8:45

alleys There's a couple people casting

8:47

around like they might have a

8:50

trench coat full of black market

8:52

wears that they could sell There's

8:54

like part of the street outside

8:57

of this place is strewn with

8:59

some rubble and then we see

9:01

this ramshackle building It's got a

9:04

single salvaged stone wall from the

9:06

abbey and then the rest of

9:08

it has been all built up

9:11

around kind of higgledy-piggledy timbers and

9:13

some bricks and things maybe like

9:15

even scavenged from other buildings. And

9:17

instead of a sign above the

9:20

door there's just a knife stuck

9:22

into the frame of it. Oh,

9:24

that's awesome. Hey look, a knife's

9:27

hilt. Red like runs between whim,

9:29

who's pointing at the open coat

9:31

of a guy like there's something

9:34

blue and purple, she's about to

9:36

bind it. No, no, no, no,

9:38

no, no, whim. It's not the

9:41

place, not the place. You never

9:43

know what you're gonna get. Whimples

9:45

is sad face at you. Yeah,

9:48

come on. Oh, wow, yeah. The

9:50

knife's hilt. I like that. Oh,

9:52

oh, knife's hilt. Oh, clever. It's

9:55

pretty good, right? It's a decent

9:57

place, especially if you want to

9:59

lay low for a bit. Ah,

10:02

well, we probably should after killing

10:04

someone. Yeah. Oh, he had it

10:06

coming. Agreed. He's always in there.

10:08

It's true, he did. That was

10:11

somebody I definitely would not have

10:13

held back on, justice, just to

10:15

tell you there. Just to be

10:18

clear. Doran, don't overcompensate. We understand,

10:20

you kill people. I just wanted

10:22

it to be clear that like

10:25

Doran doesn't have a problem with

10:27

her killing. It's funny that Doran's

10:29

like almost like subconscious effect. He's

10:32

like talking about a lot. Because

10:34

I have done it. I'm not

10:36

saying, I'm not trying to prove

10:39

the fact that I've killed a

10:41

lot of people. I guess what

10:43

I'm saying to Emil is, I

10:46

don't think it's a problem that

10:48

you vested that guy right through

10:50

the heart like that. Well, you

10:53

and Red Bull. Oh, the kill

10:55

was squarely red. Tamil walks up

10:57

to you, Doran, and she puts

10:59

a hand on your shoulder and

11:02

she looks into your eyes earnestly

11:04

and she says, listen, I have

11:06

a tremendous amount of respect for

11:09

someone who can adapt to a

11:11

battle at hand and to identify

11:13

that one henchman as inexperienced and

11:16

to give them a chance to

11:18

go off and develop their skills,

11:20

potentially to come back and seek

11:23

some sort of revenge on you.

11:25

Frankly, I have a lot of

11:27

respect for that kind of fighting.

11:30

Well, you can't tell it, but

11:32

Doran's blushing by way of his

11:34

bum cheeks. Mm-hmm. It's how he

11:37

does it. Canonically, that's how Doran

11:39

blushing. But you can see there's

11:41

like some squirming and he just

11:44

manages to squeak out. Well, thanks.

11:46

He's a lot coming from such

11:48

a... obviously experienced... Warriors as yourself.

11:50

That thing you did with your

11:53

staff back there was pretty incredible.

11:55

Was that magic or is that,

11:57

what do they call it? Stuff

12:00

that the gnomes use. That's sparkly.

12:02

stuff. A little bit of both

12:04

actually. Shall we? Gesters in towards

12:07

the knife's hilt. Yeah, let's. Yeah.

12:09

I could go for a brew.

12:11

Same. Red opens the door and

12:14

heads in. As you make your

12:16

way into this tavern, it is

12:18

clear to you why the price

12:21

of the drinks and food is

12:23

so low. There's barely any decorations

12:25

on the walls. The furniture is

12:28

very sparse. It's like a low

12:30

overhead kind of place. There's like

12:32

rats as patrons. They got a

12:35

tiny little bar down beside the

12:37

big regular bar. That's for the

12:39

rodents. that Tamil was talking about.

12:41

It's just a separate room off

12:44

of the bar with a hearth

12:46

and some straw beds. Like, there's

12:48

not individual rooms even here. The

12:51

man behind the bar is polishing

12:53

a glass with a dirty rag.

12:55

Looks almost like he's making the

12:58

cup dirtier for his attentions. And

13:00

he nods gruffly at the four

13:02

of us as we walk in

13:05

almost to say like, yeah, whatever.

13:07

Oh wow, yeah, this place is

13:09

a dump, eh? It says loudly

13:12

walking in. But I like it.

13:14

It's fine, a comfortable place to

13:16

sit, if they have one. There

13:19

are a couple of other patrons

13:21

around, you know, sitting some of

13:23

the tables and booths and things,

13:26

but no one seems to pay

13:28

you any mind. Conversely, Dorn's face

13:30

is glowing. Well, this looks lovely!

13:32

He's looking at the earth and

13:35

the straw beds. But yeah, as

13:37

Red goes to sit down, he's

13:39

like, so we did the hill,

13:42

the stone, and then, well, then

13:44

the fire giants. And that was

13:46

kind of where things took a

13:49

real tip south. We approached from

13:51

the southwest, found it, Iron Slag,

13:53

is its name, and... Oh, I'm

13:56

quite familiar with Iron Slag. With

13:58

Iron Slag, been there? Unlike

14:01

you, we, my former

14:03

party, and I don't

14:05

have much experience with

14:07

giants, and Iron Slag

14:09

was our first encounter

14:11

with them. Iron Slag

14:13

was your first encounter

14:15

with them. It was,

14:17

in retrospect, a little

14:20

foolish. We were greatly

14:22

outmatched, and I... not

14:24

exactly sure what to

14:26

say. Except that I

14:28

am headed there again,

14:30

that is where my

14:32

focus is directed as

14:34

I have a score

14:36

to settle with Duke

14:38

Zalto. Duke Zalto, the

14:40

head of the firegines,

14:43

you have a score

14:45

to settle with him

14:47

directly? Yes, he... well...

14:49

he's the reason that

14:51

I'm traveling alone now.

14:53

Oh. Well, look,

14:55

you don't... I think a

14:57

few more drinks are in

14:59

order. I think that Tamil

15:01

gets up and walks over

15:03

the bar and just kind

15:05

of, like, speaks briefly with

15:08

this bartender and just gets

15:10

a bottle of something like

15:12

brown and maybe a little

15:14

thicker than normal liquor. Yes.

15:16

He tries to offer you

15:18

some stew as well. No,

15:20

I think we're good. Thank

15:22

you. Just the bottle. While

15:24

Tamil's away, Red sort of

15:26

leans across the table to

15:28

door and he's like... Ah,

15:30

fire giants as well. Let's

15:32

not push too much, eh?

15:35

Doran definitely has a look

15:37

of concern, and he's gone

15:39

a bit quiet after Tamil

15:41

shared her story about her

15:43

companions also dying at Iron

15:45

Slag. Whim signs to both

15:47

of you sort of looking

15:49

over her shoulder to make

15:51

sure that Tamil's not coming

15:53

over just yet, and she

15:55

says it could be important

15:57

for us to learn about

15:59

what happened strategically. But also

16:02

she seems really upset. Yeah,

16:04

yeah, let's, uh, let's turn

16:06

on the old Red's Rovers

16:08

charm, boy. that kind of

16:10

puts his finger to his

16:12

nose and misses and pokes

16:14

himself in the eye. Whim

16:16

looks at Doran. Doran looks

16:18

a bit confused and says,

16:20

I think she's just buying

16:22

beer or something to drink.

16:24

I'm not sure what you

16:26

mean by... Oh, no, no.

16:29

Whim's saying that we want

16:31

to find out what Tamil

16:33

knows because... That could be

16:35

important. And equally, we want

16:37

to share what we know

16:39

as well. Hold on, she's

16:41

coming back, she's coming back,

16:43

but it might be a

16:45

bit sensitive. Right, so, um...

16:47

Oh, thanks. For you, for

16:49

you, um... Oh, thank you.

16:51

I apologies, they don't really

16:53

have much in the way

16:56

of non-alcoholic beverages here. Whim

16:58

shrugs shrugs and pulls an

17:00

apple out of her bag.

17:02

Right. She's low maintenance. I

17:04

wouldn't trust the water. Well,

17:06

yeah, Tamil puts down the

17:08

bottle and then a, you

17:10

know, mug of the cloudiest

17:12

water you've ever seen. Just

17:14

in case. Look, you don't

17:16

have to tell us anything,

17:18

obviously, but maybe... Well, maybe

17:20

it would help for you

17:23

to hear exactly what happened

17:25

to us at Iron Slag

17:27

and maybe that could make

17:29

things a little easier. whim

17:31

takes the bottle from you

17:33

and pours the three of

17:35

you each a drink and

17:37

passes it around. Thank you.

17:39

Thanks, whim. Thanks, whimmy. Maybe

17:41

this is a the perfect

17:43

opportunity to to finish our

17:45

toast from from the harvest

17:47

The harvest place to fall

17:50

in companions. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

17:52

Mm-clinks are apple Oh Yeah,

17:54

we approached iron slag and

17:56

truth be told I had

17:58

scouted a way to get

18:00

in. I saw a fire

18:02

giant approach, and I have

18:04

this ability where I can

18:06

read lips from far away.

18:08

And speak giant. So I

18:10

found out that the pass

18:12

code to enter was Bysitur's

18:14

flame I command the... open

18:17

or something like that. So

18:19

we sort of devised a

18:21

plan that we could go

18:23

up there and cast an

18:25

illusion of a giant and

18:27

with that phrase we could

18:29

open the doors and well

18:31

it was doubtful to work.

18:33

It was doubtful to work

18:35

and the illusionist in our

18:37

party Jack was very hesitant

18:39

that it would and I

18:41

well frankly I twisted his

18:44

arm to make him do

18:46

it and as the doors

18:48

opened. A beam of light,

18:50

of energy, of death came

18:52

cascading down from between the

18:54

doors and what we saw

18:56

leave Iron Slag is something

18:58

that has the capability to

19:00

end everything. You can only

19:02

be speaking of the Colossus.

19:04

You saw too. You saw

19:06

it. You saw it. You

19:08

saw it. You saw it.

19:11

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

19:13

Yes. And when my fellows

19:15

and I were kept captive

19:17

in Zalto's lair... Oh, you

19:19

were kept captive? Yes, we

19:21

thought that we could ambush

19:23

one of the fire giants

19:25

outside of the forge, and

19:27

it was foolhardy. We were

19:29

captured quite easily and taken

19:31

into... to see this Duke

19:33

Zalto. How did you manage

19:36

to survive the heat? If

19:38

we could figure that out,

19:40

that would be half the

19:42

battle. I'm not sure I

19:44

know what you mean. And

19:46

Tamil looks confused at that.

19:48

It was not especially hot

19:50

inside. Oh. I don't believe

19:52

that I call it a

19:54

forge, but there was no

19:56

fire noticeably lit. And Doran

19:58

sort of looks over confused

20:00

at red. I wonder if

20:03

they hadn't lit the forge

20:05

yet. Well, that would make

20:07

sense, yeah. Continue. Please. Um,

20:09

I'm afraid I can't give

20:11

much tactical information only that

20:13

Zolto has a small army

20:15

of giants and workers that

20:17

I believe were helping him

20:19

with the Colossus and also

20:21

he keeps with him two

20:23

hellhounds, nathor and zerible. Hmm.

20:25

Wow. Fearsome foes. We fought

20:27

only one hellhound once and

20:30

It was quite a deadly

20:32

beast. I can't imagine What

20:34

you and your companions must

20:36

have gone through and and

20:38

to be clear I Don't

20:40

think your plan was foolhardy

20:42

in fact it had our

20:44

illusion not worked. We would

20:46

have tried the same so

20:48

Listen, we're all in the

20:50

same boat here. We're just

20:52

trying to do our best

20:54

to figure out how to

20:57

solve this problem How did

20:59

you escape? Tamil takes a

21:01

big, like a big swig,

21:03

just straight from the bottle,

21:05

she just grabs the bottle

21:07

and takes a huge swig

21:09

from it, puts it down.

21:11

Zolto said he would let

21:13

us fight for our lives,

21:15

that if we could defeat

21:17

his hounds, that he would

21:19

let us go free, and

21:21

I did not feel confident

21:24

that my fellows could survive.

21:26

So I struck a deal

21:28

with him. I said that

21:30

I would fight. I would

21:32

fight for us all, and

21:34

if I lost, they could

21:36

still go free, but if

21:38

I won, we would be

21:40

released and left alone. But

21:42

I was not equal to

21:44

the task of fighting these

21:46

beasts, and Zolto was not

21:48

one to keep his word.

21:52

whim signs that doesn't sound

21:54

like a good match yeah

21:56

at that to me You

21:58

can tell that she's fighting

22:00

to hold on to her

22:02

emotions. You can tell that

22:04

she's fighting not to kind

22:06

of break down in that

22:08

moment. And she sits back

22:10

in the chair and she

22:12

grabs her mug again and

22:15

is just staring into its

22:17

bottom. Look, you were faced

22:19

with an unimaginable task. No

22:21

one. No one. Would have

22:23

expected you to walk out

22:25

of there alive and you

22:27

did that takes a certain

22:29

amount of strength whether you

22:31

see it now or not?

22:33

Tamil, we've only known you

22:35

a short amount of time,

22:37

but I mean what we

22:39

saw in that arena, you

22:41

know, you have a heart

22:43

that deserves to be Heard

22:45

and clearly ahead on your

22:47

shoulders that that I know

22:49

we could use frankly It's

22:51

true. That's very brave of

22:53

you to take on that

22:55

fear that your companions obviously

22:57

felt. But it still doesn't

22:59

answer my question. How did

23:01

you manage to escape? Samuel

23:03

kind of leans forward, but

23:05

her shoulders are hunched over.

23:08

She can't make eye contact

23:10

with any of you at

23:12

this point. He let me

23:14

watch as he killed my

23:16

friends. And then he tossed

23:18

me out. Because he said

23:20

I wasn't a threat. Oh,

23:22

damn. Whim signs, I think

23:24

he misjudged you. I agree.

23:26

I think he did. Tamil

23:28

sits up. She kind of

23:30

like, she shakes her head

23:32

a little bit. She's kind

23:34

of like shaking her shoulders,

23:36

like she's trying to shake

23:38

something off of her. I

23:40

appreciate your kind words. However.

23:42

At this point, I do

23:44

not need them. I only

23:46

need to go back with,

23:48

hopefully, allies. who can help

23:50

me defeat this Duke Zalto,

23:52

who can help me to

23:54

ensure that my friend's deaths

23:56

were not for nothing. Hey,

23:58

us too. Us too. Look,

24:01

we lost someone not 24

24:03

hours ago for the same

24:05

reason. That thing is indomitable

24:07

and we need to do

24:09

everything we can to stop

24:11

it and stop them. Door

24:13

like slammed his fist under

24:15

the table inappropriately hard. Then

24:17

we're gonna get Duke Salto.

24:19

And we're gonna kill him.

24:21

We're gonna make him suffer.

24:23

And you know what? We're

24:25

gonna make him. We're gonna

24:27

make him pay for all

24:29

of these deaths. Yeah, that's

24:31

right. And look, the four

24:33

of us call it circumstance,

24:35

call it fate. The four

24:37

of us have found each

24:39

other. And you, Tamil, would

24:41

also given this quest. That...

24:43

can't be ignored. I mean,

24:45

look, reasons aside. Zephro's on

24:47

his cloud. Whatever he's smoking,

24:49

whoever he's talking to, that's

24:51

a question for another day.

24:53

On this day, I say

24:56

we agree to work together

24:58

until this fire giant problem

25:00

is solved. What do you

25:02

say? Hmm. Tamil looks at

25:04

you for a long moment.

25:06

And then she spits in

25:08

her hand and offers it

25:10

to you. All right. Yes.

25:12

Red spits in your hand

25:14

and he takes your hand.

25:16

Hell yeah! Just a firm,

25:18

a brief look of what

25:20

the fuck, and then just

25:22

a firm handshake. Yeah, this

25:24

will do. All right. Doran

25:26

spits in his hand and

25:28

pops it on top of

25:30

us. Well, we're gonna do

25:32

this. Yeah, we are. Look,

25:34

it's not going to be

25:36

easy. That thing is colossus

25:38

itself. It is monumental. Biggest

25:40

over Doran, because he's a

25:42

little shorter. I don't know

25:44

the first thing about how

25:46

to stop that thing. In

25:49

fact, I don't... No, a

25:51

person who knows the first

25:53

thing about stopping that thing.

25:55

The only one we knew

25:57

died. From what I could

25:59

see, it was both magical

26:01

and mechanical. I think that

26:03

there is some work that

26:05

can be done on it,

26:07

but I have no head

26:09

for clock worker or, you

26:11

know, the machinery of it.

26:13

We did know a man

26:15

named Elista who was a

26:17

gnome and then turned into

26:19

a duregar. I think he

26:21

went back to Long Saddle.

26:23

Oh yeah. We could swing

26:25

by there, but that's quite

26:27

a travel away. Sure we

26:29

can find somebody in the

26:31

meantime somewhere else. And that

26:33

doesn't take away from the

26:35

question of, you know, if

26:37

we then change our focus

26:39

to this vonendod, then who's

26:42

gonna... challenge the reordering of

26:44

the of the giants and

26:46

maybe challenging the reordering of

26:48

the giants is like cutting

26:50

the head off the snake.

26:52

One monumental task at a

26:54

time. That Von and Dodd

26:56

is out on the field

26:58

walking towards some destination. We

27:00

need to figure out for

27:02

certainty what that destination is.

27:04

We assumed it was sit

27:06

at Elfeldbar, but we don't

27:08

know that. I wonder if

27:10

there's a way we could,

27:12

I don't know, get a

27:14

fire giant and interrogate him

27:16

or... Or if there was

27:18

some person that... I mean

27:20

you didn't overhear anything obviously

27:22

know why would you don't

27:24

be... Tamil's brow kind of

27:26

furrows and she says there

27:28

were... there were non-fire giants,

27:30

non-Salamanders there, there were people

27:32

and dwarfs I think... Hmm.

27:35

Like slaves you mean? Yeah.

27:37

They were being put to

27:39

work, they were shoveling coal

27:41

and doing menial tasks, but

27:43

they would not have been

27:45

able to survive if the

27:47

forge were relit, if I'm

27:49

understanding what you're saying. There's

27:51

no way, they would have

27:53

been cooked like chicken wings.

27:55

Like those chicken wings over

27:57

there, actually, those are pretty

27:59

bad. Don't eat those either.

28:01

No, they're not. They're not

28:03

from chickens. Oh. But I

28:05

wonder though, if any of

28:07

these slaves survived, they may

28:09

know more. They would have

28:11

been around as plans were

28:13

being discussed. Maybe they saw

28:15

something that would help. I

28:17

mean, look, even if the

28:19

fire giants created the Von

28:21

and Dot entirely themselves, it

28:23

would take a great number

28:25

of people to assemble that

28:28

thing. It was massive. I'm

28:30

sure a lot of them

28:32

were probably instrumental. I mean,

28:34

God, imagine a fire giant

28:36

trying to get some of

28:38

those small places that a

28:40

dwarf could fit. It just

28:42

wouldn't work. Yeah. Yeah. Hey,

28:44

you might be on to

28:46

something. And look, with the

28:48

heat that was coming from

28:50

those doors that were open,

28:52

nothing could have survived in

28:54

there. Those slaves surely wouldn't

28:56

have just stood there to

28:58

die. They would have made

29:00

a break for the exit.

29:02

I'm sure of it. Yeah,

29:04

you might have something there.

29:06

Well, well, where would where

29:08

would have they go. Where

29:10

would have they go. I

29:12

mean, they wouldn't have to

29:14

sit at a fell bar.

29:16

They don't know about it.

29:18

It's part of the mountain.

29:21

Is there a chance they

29:23

would have come here? We

29:25

stumbled upon this place quite

29:27

easily. This is the closest

29:29

settlement, other than the village

29:31

of slavers literally above the

29:33

iron slag, so probably not

29:35

there. Yeah. Yeah. Huh. Look,

29:37

maybe... There was someone in

29:39

town that would have known

29:41

about these people passing through.

29:43

Someone who's got a finger

29:45

on the pulse. And Red

29:47

kind of gets a smile

29:49

on his face. Someone who

29:51

seems to really have their

29:53

finger on the pulse. That

29:55

red-haired dwarf from earlier tonight.

29:57

She seems like she knows

29:59

all the goings on in

30:01

Dead's Nose. You mean Carilla?

30:03

That's right. But the announcer

30:05

lady. Have you spoken with

30:07

her personally? We have had

30:09

words, yes? Oh, oh, you

30:11

do know her. Well, look,

30:14

maybe we could go to

30:16

her place tonight and see

30:18

if maybe she's had rumblings

30:20

of slaves. that would have

30:22

passed through dead snows. I

30:24

mean that probably would have

30:26

been quite recently, but would

30:28

she really have known all

30:30

the comings and goings of

30:32

dead snows? She has her

30:34

ways of discovering things. She

30:36

seems to keep her ear

30:38

to the ground. Really? Yeah,

30:40

I agree. I mean she's

30:42

got to have her ear

30:44

to the ground. Look, she's

30:46

the one who's making all

30:48

the money and off the

30:50

fighting rings. fall into those

30:52

fighting pits frankly, Doran was

30:54

ready to get some blood

30:56

on his axe. You know

30:58

it! Geez, Red, don't make

31:00

this hell like such a

31:02

psychopath. Well, it seems as

31:04

good a plan as any.

31:06

Yes, and I would be

31:09

eager to get back to

31:11

Iron Slag and to sort

31:13

all of this out. It

31:15

still... You'll have to forgive

31:17

me. My... My head still

31:19

feels like it's reeling, knowing

31:21

that there's... another group or

31:23

potentially many other groups of

31:25

people who've been tasked with

31:27

taking care of this ordining.

31:29

You know I was thinking

31:31

about this and I was

31:33

thinking that maybe Zephros knew

31:35

that there were just some

31:37

members of each of the

31:39

parties that he chose that

31:41

would succeed but he didn't

31:43

have a way to sort

31:45

of put them all together.

31:47

Whim signs, maybe he was

31:49

in the wrong time. What

31:51

do you mean? Oh, yeah,

31:53

just like bad timing, you

31:55

mean? She nods. Yeah, I

31:57

guess it just was bad

31:59

timing that we didn't go

32:02

and see Severus at the

32:04

same time, Tamil. I think

32:06

is what she's saying. She

32:08

signs, maybe he came too

32:10

early. Maybe, maybe there's a

32:12

lot of unknowns, but look.

32:14

There's two ways to view

32:16

this either there are other

32:18

people out there that are

32:20

tasked with this in which

32:22

case great More people to

32:24

take down this this giant

32:26

threat or there are And

32:28

I think, unfortunately, we need

32:30

to function under the assumption

32:32

that there aren't. Because if

32:34

we sit back and let

32:36

this thing go unchecked, well

32:38

there's a lot of people

32:40

that are going to get

32:42

hurt. Yep. And let me

32:44

be clear. I no longer

32:46

have faith in this call

32:48

of destiny. It doesn't matter.

32:50

All I know is that

32:52

there is a threat. We

32:55

have information that others do

32:57

not, and so in one

32:59

way or another we are

33:01

responsible for making sure that

33:03

something happens to negate that

33:05

threat. Well, sir, God damn

33:07

right, Dorn slams down his

33:09

empty tankard and looks out

33:11

the window at the front

33:13

door. It looks to be

33:15

later than it is just

33:17

because of the heavy rain

33:19

clouds in the sky. It's

33:21

kind of dark, although the

33:23

rain has abated somewhat, it's

33:25

around dinner time. Mmm. That's

33:27

too, starting to look off

33:29

like... No, no, no, red.

33:31

If we have something to

33:33

do later today, you... Let's

33:35

do this. Gemstar, let's find

33:37

it. Do you know where

33:39

she lives? Yes, I do.

33:41

As a matter of fact,

33:43

the fanciest house in town.

33:45

Oh, cool. Well, look, time

33:48

is a wasting. And red

33:50

slams back his oily brew

33:52

and puts the mug down

33:54

and stands up. Mmm. Oh,

33:56

that's gonna put fur on

33:58

your head. Let's do this

34:00

whim sniffs the empty bottle

34:02

tentatively like what even is

34:04

this? Just a slow head

34:06

shake from Tamil better not

34:08

to ask Oil I think

34:10

The four of us make

34:12

our way back out this

34:14

Disgusting door into the rain.

34:16

The door is disgusting? All

34:18

of it is. Yeah, at

34:20

least. Grease on the door?

34:22

Greasy. Yeah, someone wiped their

34:24

snoddy hand. Oh. No, you

34:26

know what it is? People

34:28

make shady deals here, so

34:30

there's a lot of people

34:32

spitting on their hands and

34:34

shaking their hands. I'm pushing

34:36

it open with the hand.

34:38

That's right. That's awesome. It's

34:41

like blood spatters too. Technically

34:43

now you're in agreement with

34:45

whoever is spit you just

34:47

touched. Listen, oh no! But

34:49

there's an oath that's been

34:51

sworn. And yeah, with that,

34:53

the four of you head

34:55

out to look for Kerala

34:57

Gemstar's house. Say thanks again

34:59

to all of our wonderful

35:01

patron supporters. And usually it

35:03

takes me so long to

35:05

read this, so I'm going

35:07

to take a stab at

35:09

going a little bit quicker

35:11

here. Thank you too. Abby

35:13

May Berkin, Absolute Ocelli behavior,

35:15

Adam Fry, Gabriel, Aizu Yuki,

35:17
