Family in Flames (Ep. 15) | Fantasy High

- "You think I'm so stupid that I'm gonna type on here." Riz appears in the room. "And get Riz out of here, you're (beep)." No! - Wow, you're stupid. - The girls are downloaded. They're back in their bodies now. - Their own bodies? - Their own bodies. And their memories of him deciding this was like his big evil plan, that memory is false. - So somebody-- - Somebody changed it, your sister! - (beep) Aelwin again, God (beep). - Johnny Spell's burner phone gets six messages. You see a picture of t

he Thistlespring tree, the Abernant home, front door of Sklonda's apartment, the front door of Gilear's apartment, the Applebee's residence, and Seacaster Manor. You see it says, "Think very carefully "about your next decisions." (tense music) (bird calling) (lion roaring) Hello and welcome back to Fantasy High! My name is Brennan Lee Mulligan. These are our intrepid heroes, say hi intrepid heroes. - [All] Hi intrepid heroes. - And this is our penultimate episode. Oh, drop the pencil right at th

e beginning. - I'm freaking out! - Last we left our heroes, they were in the arcade at the Elm Valley Mall with a mangled and wounded Biz Glitterdew. - [Ally] Oh yeah. - Having just received a series of text messages on Johnny Spell's burner. Pictures of your homes and the phrase, "Be very careful about the choices you make next." What do you guys do? - I say we go aggro. I say we say, "Let's meet up". - Oh. - Well who-- - He just knows where our parents are. - Okay raise your hand if you really

care-- - I was going to say we should maybe go the AV club. - About your parents. - Because that's where, I care about my parents. - I care about my parents. - I care about Gilear. - There's only a couple of 'em. - I care about Gorgug's family, and I guess yours. - We all care about Gorgug's family. - Kristen Applebees' brothers and sisters, I mean we cannot-- - Yeah, you're right, yeah. - Not to mention, everyone cares about Gilear. - [Brian] Everyone cares about Gilear. - Yes, of course. - I

don't care about Gilear. - Who will serve us pitiful lunches at Aguefort? (Emily laughing) No but I mean, I don't hate that idea. - Yeah. I mean I feel like if someone's (beep) with you, then you let them know they can't (beep) with you by (beep) them. - Say a name, a time and place. - Won't they just ambush us? - I feel like they'll kill our parents though. - Why won't we go to the AV club? That's where the girls are that we just lost. - We cannot go-- - That we downloaded. - Yeah. - Download i

t. - Maybe that's what the person means. - Exactly, that's what I'm afraid. They know what we've done. - So why don't we call our parents and tell them-- - Oh yeah, Aguefort is their place though. They have cameras on it. - I'll call my mom, tell her to keep an eye on Gilear, they'll be fine. - We should tell-- - Your dad's a freaking-- - Yeah, let's all call our parents. - Let's get our parents to hang out together. - Yes, let's do that. - Let's get our parents to hang out together, and then I'

ll send a cowardly text back being like, "Please, we'll do anything you want." - Yeah, that's great. - Yes I'd like, if anything, let's play into their hand. - I think there's, let's arrange for a mixer at Strong Tower Luxury Apartments. - [Brennan] A mixer? - Yeah, let's like tell our parents to hang out. - Shall we go to the grocery store? - No, we shouldn't get anything! Let's just have our parents go to Strong Tower. - Well no, because that's one of the places. Why don't we send them to like

-- - Yes, somewhere-- - If they're all in the same place, they can beat somebody up. - The ice cream store. - Count point-- - Or they could all be killed. - I don't trust all of your parents. - Yeah, I don't trust my parents, and I'm sorry, but I don't trust your parents. - All right, well. - And I'm sorry, but I don't trust one of your parents. - Cool, well the girls-- - My mom? - Got downloaded to the AV club, or send to the AV club server. - I think you're right, let's go. - I'm gonna call my

mom, and then we should go. - Yeah, let's go. - Call her up. - Ask your mom who the hell it was that got her to make this power machine. - Yeah, call your mom. - Hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on, wait, we are not going to the AV club, all right, we don't know what this person is capable of, what they can do. I mean I am not feeling comfortable-- - Can you go in disguise at John Spells? - I would like to, they don't think I'm Johnny Spells, they know that we have the phone. I would like to-- -

Is there a number? - I would like to disguise myself right now at fearful, or something like that. I would like to take on-- - Just disguise yourself as a scared version of yourself? - So you just could ask scared. - [Emily] Yeah. - Yeah, you're an actor, Fig. - But I'm saying, I want to be authentically, I want to be performing as scared whilst I send a text. - Boo! (Brian laughing) - All right, that was little, that was just surprising. - Riz, I'm (beep) German shepherd, you can't scare me. A

nd while I just wanna be acting so scared whilst I send a text, and say "Please, we'll do anything. "What do you want from us?" - Yes, I love that. - Wait, is there a number on that phone that sent us the messages? - It's probably just another burner. - It's a number we haven't gotten anything from yet. - It's an unknown number. - Unknown. Maybe call your parents, and then we can find out. - I'm going to call, Gorgug calls his parents. - Cool. - They send that to us. - You can see Gorgug takes o

ut his phone. Gorgug now has little crows feet at the edge of his eyes, and a streak of white in the front of his hair. - Gorgug, you look really cool. - I feel older. - Sorry, you look like Jerri Blank. (everyone laughing) - [Lou] Who? - From Strangers With Candy. - You look over as you're calling your parents and see the little empty palimpsest Rezelda was moments ago on the little structure. - Do you wanna keep it? - Hello, hey there bud, is that you? How did the fight go, did you do it? - It

went really bad. - Oh no! - Hey who, who asked you to build this power device, this battery thing? - Oh, well the owners of the arcade, of course. - Who are they? - One of the guy's names was Frank. - Okay. Do you remember any other details? - Ask the last name, last name. - Frank something, what was Frank's last name? - Dunford. - Dunford, like, no I don't know what that is. - You look upon the wall and see this little photo in the arcade of a guy named Frank Dunford. - Is this the dude? - Who

's like excited to open the arcade. - Okay, just some guy. - Can we inspect to see if that guys around here? - [Brian] Let's investigate. - Yeah. - The Dunford painting. So much. - I'd like to go-- - 26. - Is that guy here? Could he be tied up somewhere? - It looks like the owner of the arcade-- - [Brian] It's just pumped open. - Has just pumped open an arcade. - Well hey, mom, dad, I don't know what's going on, but we, I don't think things are safe at the house. Shall I tell them to go somewher

e? - Yeah. - Luxury apartments. - Go to the Stone Tower Luxury Apartments, Strongtower Luxury Apartments. - Can you go to the Strongtower Luxury Apartments and meet, you know, Riz's mom and Gilear? - And Gilear. - We'd love to. All right, we'll see you later. - Okay, bye, be careful. - I text my parents, "Can you meet me "at the Strongtower Luxury Apartments?" - Don't bring your parents. - You text your parents that, you see that you get a little sort of ellipsis and then a text back saying, "Wo

uld have been nice to have you "at mass last Sunday." - (beep) them. I don't know if that's a yes or no. - I text my mom, "Do you even care "where I am right now?" (Ally laughing) - There is no response forthcoming. - God, I (beep) hate her. - I'm gonna call my mom and let her know that people are coming, so I call my mom. - You go straight to voicemail. - Got it. - Can I call Gorthalax? - Yeah, you've sent him a couple of texts and he hasn't answered back. - (beep) dead. I'm gonna straight up c

all him. - It rings for a little while, and then "Oh, this is the voicemail "of Gorthalax the Insatiable. "I'm not available to take your call right now, "but if you please leave your name and number "I'll be happy to get back to you "at my earliest convenience. "Have a great day" beep. - You'd never believe that he was trapped in a ruby for so long. He's just taken to modern traditions so well. - He's right back at it. - Cool. - That's great. - I guess I'll-- - I think we should go to the-- - I

'll leave my mom a voicemail, and I say, "Hey mom, "got some threatening text messages "with pictures of the apartment and such. "Not worried about you, but Gilear "probably can't defend himself. "If you could get back to the Strongtower "Luxury Apartments, and maybe look after "the gnomes and Gilear, that would be great." - Gilear's got a little knife. - Gilear's got a little knife. Bye mom, love you. (everyone laughing) - Cool. You guys see that sort of Biz is there in handcuffs looking morose

. You guys are in the back room of this arcade. What do you do next? - Let's go to the AV club. - Have we got anything back from this phone number? - Have I gotten anything back that I sent that? - Nope. - Let's just go to the AV club. - Let's go the AV Club. - Right now it doesn't seem like a good idea but-- - You guys walk out past the shattered glass with the different like arcade prizes in there. - I'll investigate them. - [Siobhan] Oh yeah, I'll do that too. - 21. - I'll do an arcana check

on what is in there. 26. - I mean these are the dopest magical items. - All right let's go there. We have Biz with us, right? We're taking him? - Wait, can I take the shoes as well? Can I take this stuff? - Anything that would be armor or weapons or anything, we'd like to grab. - Yeah anything-- - You find the stuff that is like the most sort of magical. There's about six items in here that are sort of-- - How convenient. - How convenient! That are powerfully magical. All the other (beep) is sor

t of like janky, whatever. - Dope. - But here they all are right here. - Okay! - Plus one to AC and saves, that's pretty good. - [Siobhan] Teddy bear of health. - Head wounds of solitude, resistant to-- - So you guys see, looking at this, you guys don't know what this stuff do because you haven't cast an identify spell on it yet. What you guys see is a dope set of headphones, a rad skateboard, this cool little teddy bear, it's about this big, a little tiny little teddy bear. A dope pair of sneak

ers, a black short sword that Fabian already grabbed, and a mythril snap bracelet. - I mean I'll bite, I'll cast an identify spell on this (beep). - Oh baby! Six items, this will be a heavy lift for the identify spell. Ah yes, the sword of shadows, crafted by Tabacsi Ninja in ages long past. The sword may summon the spirits of shadow warriors to help it's owner go unmolested by assailants. The teddy bear of helpfulness, forged by gnomish warlocks in ages long past. The teddy bear of helpfulness

is able to focus on maintaining spell energy that usually requires a caster's full concentration. The sneakers of dunking, forged from the heart of a dying star by seven elite fashion magi who gave their life to complete the sneakers. These bad boys are wildly expensive. Enable the wearer to jump ridiculous distances in a single bound. The headphones of solitude, crafted by Agatha the Lonely, these headphones endure the wearer against any outside noise, protecting them against arcane attacks of

the sonic variety. The skateboard of sickness. This rad deck was crafted by dwarves deep in the pipes of Calamoria, and grants the user not only swiftness but abilities to impress ones peers. And finally, the mythril snap bracelet of protection. This absolutely gorgeous yet tasteful artifact was first given by Ildamry the Wise to her BFF, Llewellyn the Fair when she was heading out of town for the weekend, and Ildamry wanted to make sure that she would be all right. As legend has it, she was. Th

is has been, if I may say so, the best use of the identify spell. - Thank you so much identify spell. - Thank you. - It's nice to be recognized for ones efforts. - You don't have to thank it, it's a service, you know. - Skateboard doesn't help me at all. - I think it helps me, I could dash to heal someone. - [Brian] Oh that's interesting. - I think you're gonna want that. I guess if anyone-- - This needs to be a spell person, because this does nothing for-- - That's true, I have a lot of concent

ration. - Concentrates on a spell for you, what does that mean? - It's just, you don't have to-- - So like, for example-- - So your bless is a concentrate, right? So you could do two blesses. - Yes, you could do two blesses. - But that, she wants, don't we want the dash for her though? - I mean-- - Some, do you guys have spell specific ones? I could use the rapier, the shoes or the bracelet. - This is plus one to AC and saves. - I wonder if I should take, what's everyone's AC like? - My AC's 12.

- Riz is fine. - I mean an AC 12 is bad. - As you guys are walking out of the mall sort of talking about all these artifacts, you guys leave with Biz in tow, and you guys see up above you, outside of the mall. Boom, boom. (Brennan vocalizing) You hear choppers and the parking lot is full of cops. (beeping) Over the loud speaker saying, "Stand where you are, hands in the air, don't move." (Brennan vocalizing) - I guess we'll do what they say. - Should we split up and have someone who can hide go

to the AV club? - What if I just disguise myself as someone else and I go get arrested for this? And then you guys break me out of jail. - There's helicopters on top. - We all put our hands, we're coming! We are compliant, whatever you are requesting. - You guys see that behind you, some like guys repel down up above you to like block your exit back into the mall. - Okay. - You see that a agent, a half elven woman walks forward. She's got her hair like long and back in these sort of braids, sun

glasses, dark suit, arcane pistol at her hip. She steps forward and says, "Figueroth Faeth, Gorgug Thistlespring, "Adaine Abernant, Fabian Aramaris Seacaster, "Kristen Applebees, Riz Gukgak." - It's actually Figueroth Faeth the Insatiable. - You're all under the arrest for the murder of Johnny Spells. - What? - You see that, you see that behind this woman you see your mom steps out and goes, "Agent Worrel, if I can talk to you for a second. "We, these kids go to the Adventuring Academy." You see

that Agent Worrel turns around and says, "I don't know what the (beep) is going on in this town. "I get a sheet a couple days ago "that a mans car was stolen, and he was shot "in the back of the head with a crossbow "in broad daylight, and that a coach "was murdered in the middle of the field, trespassing." - There was a demon portal there too though, right? - Yeah, he was attacking us. - You remember the demon portal that was there? - It's a little unprofessional to be so emotional at work. -

Oh I'm sorry, there was a demon portal. That's how laws work, right? - What do you mean? - That's how you want a civilization? - Do you want the apocalypse to happen? - You can't murder people! - We should wait for like-- - Yeah, I mean I have diplomatic immunity, so this whole conversation is already moot. - You see another agent steps out and says, "As a matter of fact, Ms Abernant, "your nation is currently at war with our nation." - I'm not afraid to go to jail, so yeah, we'll make some frie

nds. - I am. - I mean we can work this out. My name is Fabian Seacaster, I'm son of Bill Seacaster. - I don't know what kind of (beep) cooky little town you have here where children bang down a highway shooting weaponry at other people. - Allegedly. - All right, cuff 'em, cuff 'em. - I cast darkness around all of us. (Fabian laughing) - Your spell is immediately counter spelled by a cop mage. You see he goes, blows some runes off his fingers and goes, "Still got it". - What is he, is he a dwarf?

- No, he looks like a gnome. - Oh okay. Not my type. (laughing) - You guys are brought into custody. - Great! - Cool, cool, very cool. - Really cool, really so cool. - I love going to jail. - You guys are brought into the prison cell where you see this incredible wrap sheet with like camera footage of you guys like from the diners camera, with you guys like stealing this car and firing weapons on the tieflings behind you. Trespassing the Durinson Mythril Factory, attacking coach. The fight at t

he Black Pit where they have like the CCTV of you guys running up and killing DJ Brains in the middle of the combat. All of the (beep) you've been doing, and you just hear this sort of federal agent who's representative of the Council of the Chosen talking to the cops. You see one of the local cops goes like, "You mean normally, you know, they're from "the Adventuring Academy. "Normally we just kind of look the other way "when this stuff happens." And you see the agent kind of like rubbing the b

ridge of her nose. "I cannot believe that this "is how this town has been running. "This is a (beep) nightmare." She gets up and leaves. You guys are all in your holding cell. You guys have a little bit of privacy in your holding cell. - We're all in the same cell? - You're all in the same cell together. You see that there's a sort of cop sitting on a little counter talking. He goes "All right guys, well you know, "we got a couple of federal mages "that are helping out with keeping an eye on the

se kids. "Just wanna say, you know, to kind of "clear the air here gang, hasn't been "a great week for the precinct, you know, "we kind of let this one kind of just come in "and visit suspect we were holding." - How did you guys know? - We watched the tapes later. And you know, and then we got hit by that team of elven assassin, that kind of strike force, and we lost another, you know, prisoner there. - And some evidence, it sounds like. - Yeah, oh we had our evidence locker broken into, and the

palimpsest went missing. Has not been a really banner time for the precinct, so let's try, and we can just keep those lines of communication open. - Was there anything else stolen other than the palimpsest? - Hm? - When the palimpsest was stolen by that strike force? - Like what? - Anything else, I'm just wondering. - Any other artifacts. - Can I do like an investigation check? - "Honestly, I goofed and kind of misplaced "the files of what we had in the inventory there. "So we gotta find that,

guys, keep an eye out "for that inventory, if you can. "We'll do our best, but you know, "thank you guys for helping out, huh? "Okay." And you see that he sort of address the other cops, they break and go off in their own different directions. - Can I do an investigation check of this cell to see if there's any like levers or little holes with keys in? - Sure, go for it. - Messages on the walls or anything like that. 23. - You do not see any little levers or holes in the wall or anything else li

ke that. - There's no like-- - We're stuck here guys. - Is there no one, so there's no one within reach of us, like there's no one else that we can see or talk to? - Another cop comes in with your meals and checks in on you guys. "You guys wanna make your phone call? "You're free to do that." You see he hands a little crystal through the bars. - Yes please, I'll take that. - Call your dad. - Yes, can I call, I'd like to call my father. - You give your dad a ring. You see that the phone rings for

a little while, then, "Yar, this be Bill Seacaster." - Oh, hello papa. Well you see, I'm currently in jail with my friends. We were, we got caught in the middle of a failed battle, you see, and we could use some assistance in getting out. - Aye, you're in the brig now, are ya? - Yes, it would seem that way. - Right. I'll come by. - Thank you papa. - Do you know what they posted your bail at? - I am not aware, but I can check. - You tried to escape? - Yes we have. - All right. The phone hangs up

. - I can still keep trying. - Oh yeah, I'm still gonna try. - Guys, nobody, my father's on the way. He'll handle everything. - You guys are in this jail, you look out through the gray cloudy day out there. Sort of miasma of dread has settled over the town. Talk of war with Fallinel, and general early March kind of rainy time out there. You see that the cop asks you guys, "All right, anyone else wanna make their call?" - I guess I'll call my parents and see if they got to your house. - Well my m

om is for sure busy. I should probably call my mom. - I'd like to call-- - Maybe someone here could tell you what your mom's doing. - Yeah, can you just talk to your mom in person? - Yeah, is my mom just around? - Your mom comes over to the jail cell and goes, "Hey kiddo, how's it going?" - I mean bad, I'm in jail. - I'm so sorry about this. The truth is that, you know, Arthur Aguefort, when he was alive, handled these things. He had some kind of connection with the government or something like

that. This just never came up, I mean, you know obviously it's not great to selectively apply laws to people but you're adventurers, you're in the academy. The whole point is that you're largely criminal vigilantes, that's what the school's for. - Thank you. - I'm gonna try my best to see if we can handle this. Nothing's going to happen quickly, so I think it's best if you guys just hang tight. - Cool. - And I'm real sorry kiddo. - Okay, and I say in goblin, "Is there any way out of this cell?"

- You see that she says, "No, the feds have investigated everything, "but we're gonna take care of it, don't worry." - Cool, thanks mom. - She heads out. Did you call Thistlesprings? - Yes. - Can I be reading this book of world religions? - Yeah, you're just sitting there. You see that another prisoner down the cell block goes like, "Yeah, that's good. "If you find religion in here, you can get out "earlier most of the time." - Really? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - What was like the truth one that

you found? - What? - What, did you find the true religion? - I don't think there is a true religion, I think it's a subjective thing. I think its relative to each person. Don't say you worship the God of Thieves, because that just, you get right back, you know. - Oh yeah, I can see that. - I did that my first time, and you learn the hard way, you know what I mean? - You wanna smoke? - Hell yeah! - I rolled 'em myself. Cloves, herbal. - Oh, I'm good, thank you. (everyone laughing) You see that,

you call the Thistlesprings on the phone. "Hey there bud, how's it going?" - Hey, just making sure you got over to the apartments. - Oh sure, we're over here with Gilear right now. We're having a great time. - What, really? - What's that, yeah for sure! We were just singing a little song to him. - What are you singing to him? - You hear your mom in the background saying. ♪ When you start to feel real sad ♪ ♪ It's probably because you just feel mad ♪ ♪ Just remember we're Gorgug's mom and dad ♪ ♪

And then you should be a better dad ♪ - Oh God, okay. - Is that Gilear crying in the background? - I don't deserve to be mocked this way, in my own home. (everyone laughing) Please take the turkey trackers you've already had bites of and see yourself out. (everyone laughing) - Don't listen to him, just stay there mom. Okay, I'll talk to you later, I just wanted to make sure you were safe. - "Perhaps I should go." You see that they hang up. - You didn't wanna tell him that you were in jail? - I

don't know. - Can I call Principal Goldenhoard? - Yeah, for sure. - That's a good one. - Great! - You can call his office, yeah. - Yeah, I will try and call his office. - That'll happen the next day, because he's probably not in the office at night. - Oh right, it's night time. Dang. - I'll go ahead and say that you guys spend the night in jail. The next morning comes. - Are we rested? - No word from Bill yet, but you can use your phone call to call the office. - Great. - Hello and good morning.

Who do I have the pleasure of speaking to? - Hello principal, this is Adaine Abernant. We have gotten-- - Don't tell him I'm here. - We've gotten arrested for things that we were supposed to have been doing in school. (Lou laughing) - You've been arrested for murder, trespassing, thievery and other various side effects of the adventurers life. - The school teaches, yes. - Hell mouths and stuff, you know, saving the world. - Yeah, all the hell mouths and stuff. - This is so frustrating. Arthur h

ad a way of handling all these things. Look, I'm going to dip into his personal library. I don't like to go in there, there's a lot of-- - Spicy stuff, I read his autobiography. - Raw, sexual things in there that make me frankly uncomfortable. I'll see what I can do. Don't speak to any prosecutors without a lawyer, and if you get a chance, make a break for it. Go ahead and kill whoever you have to kill to get out, and we'll pay for the resurrections, all right? - Thank you so much, that's exactl

y what we were thinking of doing. - Well, I'm very glad to hear that there are some students here that still know how to live the adventurer's life! - We love this school so much, and we've learned so much in the past year. - That really is touching, I have to say. I was worried about you lot with the detention on the first day, but I'm very proud of all the process you've made. I'm going to go-- - Can I ask something? - Yeah. - I'm asking you guys before you ask him, but can we ask him to-- - S

orry, just a sec. - To look in the trash can of Arthur Aguefort. - That's what I was gonna say. - Oh yeah. - Check in the bin. - Professor, before we go, can you look at Professor Aguefort's trashcan and see if there's anything weird in there, or under there, or around there? We just got a clue. - RIP, may be rest in peace, of course. - Yeah, obviously. - Yeah RIP. - [Ally] RIP. - You see he says, "In his trashcan?" - In his trashcan. - May I ask why? - It was a clue! - A clue? Very well, I shal

l take a look as soon as I can. - Thank you so much. - "You're welcome." Hangs up. You guys see that a few moments later, a few minutes later in the day, Sandralynn walks in, your mom. - Hey mom, how's Gorthalax? - Hey sweetie, I heard the news that you were in jail. Gorthalax is not doing great. (gentle piano music) We had a conversation early yesterday. (Brennan sighing) He came over the night before, and after that, we spoke and I had to sort of break the news to him that there was not really

going to be a chance of us being together. - Did you guys have sex? - Kristen! - [Brian] Kristen, what are you doing? - Oh I'm sorry. I thought maybe we were all wondering-- - We don't care. - No, we are not all wondering. - We don't care if you had sex. - They definitely did, I know they did, I know they did. - I'll just get back to my book. - Yeah, read please. (Brennan sighing) - That's a yeah, right? - He took the news pretty hard, and he left, and I haven't been able to reach him. I think

it seems possible that he went back to hell. (tense music) - But they were gonna demote him in hell. Also, I'm here. - I'm so sorry kiddo. - You scared him away? You rejected him, so now he's not in my life, once again. Are you the one who put him in that ruby to begin with? - I didn't put him in the ruby to begin with, sweetie. That was Arthur. I'm sorry. (Brennan sighing) - Well I'm assuming that you came to say you know how to get us out, because you're so sorry that you scared away my dad fo

r a second time. - "I'm helping Sklonda try to find a way "to get you guys out of here. "I don't know if your dad will be coming back. "I wanted you to have these now that you know." And she hands you a little picture book of like old crystal polaroids. You see there are pictures of your mom and Gilear when they were young. Your mom was like an insane elf ranger like rocker. She has like leather studded like wrist guards and bracers. She has all these (beep) weapons, like short sides on the hair

, like mohawk. She looks like a lunatic, and you see Gilear is just there in a short button up, not as bald but still sort of a far back hairline, kind of looking square. And there's pictures of her and Gorthalax at like concerts and stuff like that, and you see sort of a young Gorthalax and your mom. - Why are you giving these to me? - Cat's out of the bag, you deserve to know. - So you just had this all along? - I didn't know that you'd sprout the horns. I thought we'd make it through. I'm gon

na try to get you guys out of here. She turns around and leaves, and you can't help but notice like a strong similarity between the way you look now and the way your mom looked as a young woman. - Guys, I always thought I had daddy issues, but I'm starting to think I have mommy issues. - I think you have a bunch of issues. - It's just issues. - [Siobhan] Like really a bunch. - Layer cake of issues. - Don't get us wrong, like we really like you. - Friend issues, daddy issues, mommy issues. - You

tried to hook up with a 24 year old, like a grown man with a medical degree. - Tried and successfully. I'm successfully kissing him once every couple of weeks. - Okay, stop. - Interception, it's very creepy. - Once every couple of weeks. - You were flirting with the principal. - Later that day, you hear the stomping boots and swishing, this green and gold cloak. Bill Seacaster walks up, he says, "Right, let's have it open then." You see that one of the cops opens the cell, he walks in, everyone

here make a perception check. (dice bouncing) - [Fabian] Not good. - Not one. (Siobhan laughing) - For the first time in the whole game, 18. - Hell yeah, 19. - I got 20, I got 20. - Yeah I got a 10. - Seven. - Okay, it's still not the first, but it's better than ever. - So Gorgug, you've just rolled a not one. You've met Bill Seacaster so many times. - Don't (beep) do this. (tense music) - You realize it makes perfect sense now. It feels like things are coming to a head, your story's almost sort

of unwinding, it's unfolding. This makes sense. You're on the Owlbears with Fabian. You and Fabian joined the same group. If you're not brothers, all it would require was Bill Seacaster to have a child with an orcish woman, how unlikely would that be? Bill Seacaster sailed all around the world. Of course he found an orcish woman. This was years ago. Oh my God dude, Bill-- - Father! - What, who are you talking to? (sword scratching) - What do you know? - Wait, are you my dad? - But papa. - Are y

ou my son? - Are you my dad? - Papa, no way! - Are you my son? - There's no way! - Is this real? I don't know my dad, you would know better than I would. - Have you ever been with an orcish woman? - Hundreds! - Of course he has. - Why would you kill me? - Why would you know that? - Nobody surprises me with information I wasn't expecting! - I just making a guess, it just seems like it's true. - We are not brothers. - We could be twins. - Twins from two different wombs. - Yeah. - Both of you stop,

papa! - Leave it to Bill Seacaster to sire twins in two different women! - No papa, okay everyone needs to stop. Everyone needs to stop, no one is, you're not my brother, you can't do that. Papa, you can do anything, but you can't do that. Anyway. - What if my mom is your mom with Bill Seacaster? - Do not support him! - Oh my God. - He says, "Well, that's right. "I have only one son in this room right now." - Me? - No. - Oh stop. (laughing) - He says, those of you who rolled a 20 or higher on y

our perception. - I did. - You see in Bill Seacaster's pocket a lump, and peaking out through the top of it, you see a crystal palimpsest. (Emily gasping) (tense music) He looks at you and says, "So my boy, you found yourself here "in the brig with your friends." - Yes papa, we were out crusading around town and, I mean you know better than anyone that adventures catch up with you at some point. - Do they though, because they don't with me. I took all my wealth, dragged my ship out of the sea an

d put it here to give you the best chance you could get. - I'd like to try to slight of hand it out of his pocket. - [Brennan] Go ahead and make the check. (dice bouncing) - I got a 19. (dice bouncing) - You guys see Fig pull a crystal palimpsest out of Bill Seacaster's pocket. - Did you ever have sex with anyone? - What did you say? - I'm sorry, I'm going wild. - It begins at the ripe old age of nine. - Thank you! No adults will talk to me about this, my parents just say it doesn't happen 'til

you're married, and then all of a sudden you know everything. - Do you think it's gonna give you-- - This is not the time. - Sorry. - Oh it's not the time? - No it's not the time, papa. - Not the time for what? - Not the time for you to be educating my friends on your sexual endeavors, all right? Get us out of this God (beep) jail cell. - Oh you'll raise your voice to me now! - Yes, I will papa! (tense music) - "I tried to give you the best life "and all it did was make you soft. "You wanna know

something? "I know just why you are not like me "and it's because I would never let "any man speak to me the way I'm speaking to you right now!" And he shoves you. - I would like to attempt to grapple him. - Is he in our cell? - He's in the cell with you. - Yeah, I'd like to fight him. - Go ahead and give me an apposed athletics. You need to beat a 19. (dice bouncing) - Not even close. Do I get an advantage? (laughing) - Jump, jump! - Can I jump? - Jump yeah, go ahead jump, (beep) go for it. -

Didn't help. I guess I can't beat my father. - You leap and he takes you to the ground. You go wham, bam, gets you on your back, and you see he says "Are you a Seacaster "or aren't you boy?" You see he goes, "Look at you, "look at you here in this prison. "I told you what you needed to do. "You didn't need to be friends, "you didn't need to be noncing around with your peers. "You are a captain." Bam, he hits your head to the floor. "You're meant to lead, boy!" - Can I make a perception check on

all this? - [Brennan] Go for it. - 17. - 17? You see that, yeah, Fig has pulled his palimpsest from his coat. He's rolling on the floor with Fabian. He's got you pinned. You can attempt to escape the pin, or you can attempt to make an attack. - I'd like to make an attack from within the pin. - Is he himself though? This is like a new Seacaster. - Is this like a kill each other fight, or is this a wrestling fight right now? - Seems like a wrestling fight right now. Go head-- - I'm not going to ge

t involved until it is actually-- - [Brennan] Go ahead and roll your attack. - Great. (dice bouncing) 26. - Yeah that'll do it. - Okay great. - If you want to take another attack you can as well, yeah. - Oh great. (dice bouncing) That's 12. - 12, first one hits. You see on his back, Fabian cocks a fist back and wham, right across Seacaster's jaw. His eye patch (beep) swivels on his head, and he flops to the ground next to you, bam. - I'd like to get on top of him, and give him one more. - Go for

it. - Great. (dice bouncing) 18. - That'll do it. - [Lou] Great. - You on top of him, wham, some teeth scatter across the floor. You see he goes. (Brennan spitting) (gentle music) (Brennan laughing) He attempts to try and get up. - May hit him again. - Go for it. Oh God. - 26. (Brennan laughing) - You go crack, and you see he goes unconscious. - I'd like to just get up and go walk off into the corner. - Does he have, I'm gonna search his pockets for-- - What is this palimpsest thing? Oh yeah. -

I'm trying to hide it guys. - I checked his pulse, he's knocked out. - Can I do, can I cast detect magic? I would like to see if there's anything going on. - You don't detect any magic, it just appears to be Bill Seacaster. - Okay great, but he doesn't have any magical objects like buzzing-- - I mean his eye patch is magical, his rapier's magical, his coat is magical. He's an adventurer. - Do you want to identify-- - Can we investigate this? - Yeah, can I investigate this palimpsest? - Yeah, go

for it. - With my detect magic, can I see who's trapped in it? - 14. - There is no one trapped in it currently. It looks like a blank palimpsest. - Huh? - Guys, we have spent all of our lives, some of us more than others, obsessed with our dads and we've completely ignored our moms. - You just, again, talking about yourself. - Do you see what's happening? I'm watching Fabian literally beat up his dad. - He has a great relationship with his mom. - I don't know, my mom's fine. - Can we check his

pockets and see if there's anything else weird there? - [Brennan] Sure, can we investigate? - 16. - You just find stuff in there, so he has the palimpsest, there's other stuff in there that appears to be like, you know, gold coins and other stuff like that. You see that he has little bank slips from KVX. - Okay, I'll grab those. - After a moment, you see that a cop sort of walks back into the room sipping a little cup. - I pocket my crystal. - Can of soda, goes "God dang, this is why "I'm suppos

ed to stay in the room." And you see he comes in, and grabs Bill Seacaster's body, drags it out and says, "We gotta shake things up "around here, because boy, we've had "a lot of goofs recently, you know what I mean?" Okay-- - I would like to cast suggestion on him. - Go for it. - I tell him, when I ask for it, you'll give me the key to this door. - [Zac] I think we could just leave right now. - Yeah, aren't we bailed out? - Oh we are? - You see that he drags Seacaster out, closes the door, lock

s it. Goes, "Sure, do you work for the feds?" - Yeah. - Okay, you see that he takes Bill Seacaster out of the office. You hear a moment of silence, and then you hear, "God (beep) no she doesn't work for us, "she's in the cell." (everyone laughing) "What is wrong, what is actually wrong? "Someone explain to me in a way "that I can understand how this happened." Bill Seacaster's dragged out of there. - Sorry about your dad. - Is his eye patch, did his eye patch go flying? - It did not go flying, i

t's just swing around on his head. - Can I, just frustrated, can I look at the bars on the window? - Sure. - Can I, do I need to make an invest, I'm just gonna go on a rage to try to pull them out. - So we are still in here, right? We're all still stuck in here? - [Brian] Yeah. - Why don't I dimension door one or two of us out? - Oh hell yeah. - You will die. - Why? - No, well stealth, we're not gonna, I'm not gonna sit in this cell all the time. - I'm gonna go into a rage and try to strength ch

eck just open this. - [Brian] We're gonna get the hell out of here. - All right. I rolled, what's my strength? Is it a saving throw or just regular strength? - It's just regular strength. - Okay, but I have an advantage because I'm raging. (dice bouncing) Okay, so 14. - You cannot pull the bars apart. - [Emily] All right, can I-- - Fig, if you can get me out of here, I can steal the keys off that dude. He's not smart. - You're tiny though, right? Can't you get through the bars? - Go ahead and gi

ve me an arcana check real quick. - Great. (dice bouncing) 19. - You see that there is an abdurative ward on the jail cell. - Thought there might be. - It's an arcane spell sanc. So spell energy goes. - Can I try to just squeeze through the bars? - Yeah, you can try squeeze through, go for it. - This ought to work. (dice bouncing) Acrobatics 16. - Unfortunately no. You guys, you hear no more word from Bill Seacaster. You guys spend days here until you are eventually brought to your own cells tha

t are all on the same block, so you can keep talking to each other. (beeping) Turn into couple weeks. (beeping) - Jesus. - Okay well, guys, we have to do something then. So we have to do some kind of shenanigans. I'm gonna disguise myself as one of, as the elven woman who's the lead prosecutor, and I'm gonna start making a ruckus and be like, that little (beep) got a way, she got away! - You see that one of the cops looks and says, "Oh my God, she got away!" - That little (beep). I went in to go

have a conversation with her. - You see another cop comes in and says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey question for you, "if she got away, why do you get "into the jail cell, you know?" - Because she pushed me in, because she's a crafty adorable little girl. - She got you (beep). - All right. Let's get her! (gun shots firing) They just open fire in the jail, running down the hallway. - Oh quick, quick, oh well let me out of here. - We'll get her now! - I chase after them to try to-- - Oh they didn't ope

n the door, they just run down the hallway shooting wildly in the air. - Is there like a dog somewhere? - You guys are terrible. - That I can like-- - You guys hear-- - Give a bone to. - You guys hear at the end of the hallway, you guys hear. A little dog with a key. You guys hear at the end of the hall, bam bam bam, "God (beep)! "You idiots, call a medic." "Oh geez lady, sorry I shot you in the leg there." "Why are you opening fire?" - I'm a medic! - "Oh wait, this guy seems like "he's got some

kind of medic." "He doesn't. "Anything down there is prisoners, no more"-- - That's her, I am the real, I am the real one. - I have the heal feet. I am actually a medic, so. - Can I talk to the woman? - Yes, you do. - Can I like call her over? Hey. - I'm still looking like her and eyeing her. - I'm aware I'm like an active suspect, and I've been in here for so long, but I know a lot about the people that you're trying to find, because I grew up in a very religious house. So if you need any, if

you need help or-- - Who am I trying to find? - Well, shouldn't you tell me? - I found the people I'm trying to find, it's the six of you. - There are people-- - We're children. - There are evil people out there. - I am the head of the juvenile department. - Can I roll insight on this? - Yes. - I'm 14, how am I in a regular jail? - Because the child jail got-- - 18. - [Brennan] What's that? - 18 insight check. - She just looks like a hard (beep) federal agent. She looks at you and says, "So I'm

the fake me, and you're the real me?" - You know what, yeah. - Cool, what's my name? What's your name? What's your name? - My name? - Yep, what's your name? - I'm Katy. - Katy? - Katy. - Katy, you sure it's Katy? Would you bet your life on Katy? - Yeah, I (beep) would because I'm not afraid of dying, because you pigs have had my locked up! - My name is Angela Worrel, and you're an idiot, as is every cop in this precinct. - You're a pig! - I hand her like a ripped up page from my crazy world reli

gion book that has like the Harvest Men on it, like a little blurb. - She takes it-- - And I try to act really like. - She takes it and goes, "God (beep), "none of them are supposed to have "their things with them in the cells." And she walks out of here. - I'm like, oh she's leaving? - They walk, it goes max security. - Can I, oh sorry, where is the hangman? - Oh, just out and about? - Oh, okay. (Siobhan laughing) - Gotta try. - The hangman. - Master, long have I missed the warmth of your thigh

s on my seat. - I'm glad this is in my head and no one else can hear things like that, Christ. Hangman, could you assemble a party of some kind, or do something, get other-- - That would be my deepest honor, and the greatest satisfaction to assemble a crew unlike any the world has ever seen to free you from bondage, sire. I shall lay low, the foundations of the world to see you made whole once again. - Thank you, thank you hangman, appreciate it. (motorbike revving) My bike is going to freeze. -

He's just gonna go to a Harley Davidson dealer and come out with a crew of bikes. - All right guys, I'm sorry. One last thing. - I know there are magic rune prevention things, but the sword of shadows that I got from Fabian here has a teleport as a disengage. I would like to just try that. - You can do it in your room all you want, but it doesn't. (whooshing) - I look over, I'm like "Riz, you okay?" - Bing bing bing bing bing. - What's happening over there? - Yeah, night crawler. - I turn into

Angela again. - After you talk to the hangman. A few more days pass by. - Dang. - Anybody here make a, I guess, just an intelligence check? Call a DC15 intelligence? - Not a chance. - Nope. - 18. - 15. - 11. - This, it is May 15th, which is the day of prom. You guys are in your cells, you hear something in your mind, you've been here for a long time. You hear a little. (rumbling) And you hear a voice out in the sort of cop area. They've not been in here for a while, they've been disallowed from

interacting with you guys. You hear a voice outside be like, "Hi there guys, how's it going? "Everyone doing good in here? "Great." You see he says, "Just got some mail, some deliveries here." And you hear some sort of parcels being passed out. Walking down the hall of the jail cell, you see a little halfling postman with little shorts and a shirt, one of those little plith helmets. - Hello sir, remember us? - Oh gosh there gang, how's it going? - (beep), feds got us in here, man. - Yeah, the pi

gs have got us. - You're the guy from-- - [Brian] The ice cream shop. - From the, I picked you guys up in the car. How's it going guys? The kids miss you, Mark, Pep and everybody says hi. Daisy sends her best. - Do you know why we're in here? Remember that guy who almost killed you and your family in the car, and then we took care of him? - Mm-hmm. - They got us in there for that. - "What?" You see he winks at you and says, "Sweetheart, you don't gotta sweet talk me. "We like you kids, we think

you're all right, "and the hangman already explained everything to us." - It's the hangman? - You see he says, "Listen, here's the thing, "I don't know what you kids are up to, "but I do know one thing, laws are threats "made by the dominant socioeconomic "ethnic group in a given nation. "It's just a promise of violence "that's enacted, and police are basically "an occupying army, you know what I mean? "You guys wanna make some bacon?" He pulls a mask over his face, pulls a lit Molotov cocktail

out of his mail bag and. (whooshing) (crashing) - That was on fire the whole time? - The whole time, kiddo! - You're so brave! - He goes boom, hits the lock, opens the jail cell. You see the halflings with like black ski masks propel in, just start opening fire, smashing. - My mom works here, these people are good people. - Let's make some (beep) bacon! - Oh no, let's not. - Let's go! - You guys dip the (beep) out of there in a hail of gunfire. - Get our stuff please. - Okay, to the AV club. - I

t's been months. - It's been months! We've been in jail. My parents didn't visit me one time. - Yeah, mine neither. - My mom visited me just to drop off her memories. - I don't think my parents realize I'm in jail. - My parents came to jail and I beat the (beep) out of them, so maybe you got lucky. - Gilear didn't even visit me. Gilear and Gorthalax didn't. - Let's go to prom. - Yeah. - Let's just see what's going on with prom, right? - Well yeah, we know bad stuff is going on at prom, right? -

You guys dip out from here. I'm gonna need either like a stealth check from somebody. - Sure. - I'm gonna say make it with disadvantage as you're trying to hide the whole group. I guess you guys are all tryna help. - I can also guys-- - Just make a, make a flat stealth check. - Okay. (dice bouncing) 25. (beeping) - Riz, you dart out of the police precinct. You hear fire and noise and shouting from behind you, and you guys dip out of there as fast as you can. You guys run down an alleyway, and Ri

z, you start guiding them through these back alleys and different small areas in the city center. What are you guys gonna do? - Let's. - Shall we call the principal and see if there's anything going on at school? - Yeah. - Yeah. - I think we should just crawl into, I think we should break into Aguefort's office and go through his stuff. - I feel like we should-- - We either go to Seacaster Manor or Agueforts. - We're not going Seacaster Manor. - Not going to Seacaster Manor. - He's up to somethi

ng. - Also I've got this fricking-- - He is up to something. - Crystal palimpsest. - He's up to something. - From your dad. - Wait, can we use that palimpsest to see what the number is associated? Is it that kind of crystal? - It's not a phone. - It's like a trap. - It's like a hard drive. - It's for trapping people. - Gotcha. - But there's nobody in there right now. - Should we go spy in Bill Seacaster? - I think we need to go through Aguefort's (beep). - Can see if there, I mean we might be ab

le to do something, that could be a special one or something. It might be, I don't know, maybe that's supposed to go to the AV club or something. I don't know, maybe we go there. - I can send the hangman to spy on my father. - Okay. - Oh that's a great idea. - [Brian] Let's do it. - I shall go and see the secrets of your father, William Seacaster. - Thank you hangman. - I too felt his buttocks astride my leather seat. - Please don't remind me. Thank you, just go, thank you. - A great man, but no

t as great as you. - That's very kind of you. - Hangman tears off. - Let's go. - So I guess we'll just go to Aguefort. - Yeah, question is how are we gonna-- - Do we have any friends who are at prom that we could just hear what the vibe is? - I'm guessing it's not prom time yet, right? - What time is it? - Not prom time yet, you guys have probably two hours. - Oh my God, why don't we call Ragh? Right? - For real. - Like at least he knows what's been going on at school. - Yeah, we should find out

what's been happening in the months we've been away. - We're gonna try to find Ragh. - Do you wanna call him or do you wanna find him? - Let's call him. - [Siobhan] Yeah. - We can text him to meet us somewhere, or yeah, call him. - I'll just call him. - He's very stupid. I feel like if we don't just pull him aside, he's gonna be with somebody or something. Should we go to Aguefort and either you dress up as somebody else, or I sneak in and we just pull Ragh out into like the parking lot or some

thing? - I think you sneak around the back of his office, I disguise myself and go in. - Dope. - And then we can convene in there. - [Brian] Cool. - Awesome. - Is it cool with everybody? - Yeah. - Yeah. - You dip out, you head to Aguefort. Who is going where at Aguefort? - Although it would be great to get, it would be great to get Adaine. - Your sister. - In. - Yeah, I mean I can cast invisibility on myself, and I can even carry you. - Oh, cool. - With invisibility, but it only lasts for a minu

te, so we have to (beep). - I'll wait outside. - Run in. - Yes, I'll stay with Gorgug outside. - Okay. - I'm gonna-- - Can you disguise other people? - No, just myself. - So you could ask Ragh what's going on. We're gonna go into Aguefort's office and see if, or should we try to talk to Goldenhoard? - Oh yeah, yeah, you're right, I don't need to help you. I can always talk to Goldenhoard. - You can do both, maybe. - Yeah. The offices are probably closed, right? - Yeah, the school is closed becau

se they're getting ready for prom. - Okay, we told Goldenhoard to go into Aguefort's office, so I don't know how, he has whatever's in there I think, probably. - Let's call him and then-- - We can try to do both, let's just go. - Okay. - Cool, so me and Adaine are invisible. - [Emily] So you guys are going into the office. - Yep. - Just rushing into the office. - Yeah, I guess you don't even need me disguised. - But we wanna talk to Ragh, so you should go in a talk to Ragh. - Okay, I'll just cal

l him. - Well the school, the school's locked up, lights out. They're getting ready for prom, so it's like-- - Prom is at school though. - Prom is in the gym, which is a separate building. - Oh, so we can just sneak in. - So we, yeah, so we don't need to use invisibility at all. - So we just go in. - [Emily] Let's all just go in then. - Okay, let's go. - Yeah, we'll turn invisible if we need to. So we go into the school. - You guys walk into the school. You get to the school, go ahead, the doors

are locked. - Okay, I will do thieves tools check. - Cool, DC15. (dice bouncing) - So that's dex plus proficiency bonus. - Yes. - [Zac] Can we help him? - 17. - Cool. Riz takes up the thieves tools, opens the door, door opens. You guys begin to walk through the halls of the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. With the lights off in here, and the ring of the linoleum and the metal lockers, it's just echoy and empty here. You see a sort of only light provider is the dull icy white hum of the crystal ca

meras up around everywhere. - Oh yeah. - That's right, there are cameras. - Can I cast darkness like around us so that the cameras wouldn't detect us? - Yeah, you can do that. - And it can follow us. - It'll detect a moving thing of darkness, but yeah, for sure. - That's fine. - All right, cool. - You guys head through, walking very carefully. You arrive at the door of Arthur Aguefort's office. - Cool. Try to open it. - Locked as well. (dice bouncing) - Not great. - Can we help his roll? - You c

an give him an advantage, yeah. - Great. (dice bouncing) I rolled two fours. - Can I kick the door down? - Go ahead and make an athletics check. (dice bouncing) - Yeah, (beep) 20. - You like are fiddling with this, you hear a little voice say, "Ah fiddle-di-dee, a little thief "attempting to break into the vault of Arthur Aguefort. "This enchanted door shall find". Bam, and you see that Fabian's foot just connects, boom, door flies open. - We've got things to do the ball. Let's do them. - Look a

t the bin, I wanna look in the bin. - Go ahead and make an investigate. - Just kind of investigate around. (dice bouncing) Wow, a one. - I got it. (dice bouncing) 18. - 19. - You see that the bin is empty. It looks-- - Okay, can I do an arcana check on it? - Sure. - What's that, 21. - 21, you see that there are other sort of files and folders and stuff that are here in the room. You see also that Watches and Wards is still here, since September first when Kristen Applebees brought it here. - Was

n't Watches and Wards supposed to be in the library to stop bad spells from happening in the school? - It absolutely was. - Can we take it back there? - I'm gonna go ahead and give you guys some stuff. - Can we like look under it and look at the bin itself? - Yeah, does he have a computer with a trash folder? - I wanna go through his desk and look for secret draws under the draws. - What were the investigate checks you wanted made? - I did a 19. - 19. - 12. - One. - 12? - 19. - I had gotten a--

- 17, I have a negative one too. - Cool, here is Watches and Wards, which you can use to detect magic on. Here is some stuff that you guys find, which seems kind of boring, it's just payroll and federal paperwork information. - Okay, we wanna look at that because we know that somebody was paying the school or something. When we went to Daybreaks, there was weird stuff, somebody like on the school board was paying money to the Harvest Men or something. - Daybreak was getting a huge salary. - Righ

t, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can we look into Daybreak's salary? - Yeah, you've got (beep). - It's on here. I thought this was like just fun role play. - Go ahead and read, guys let's read these out loud. - Okay. - Okay. - Let's start, you guys can read that. Adaine, why don't you go ahead and read what you've learned here? - "You are reading the first few pages "of Watches and Wards. "Examining the spell with detect magic, "you can see a powerful abduration "preventing Kalvaxus from ever touching the b

ook, "or asking someone to remove the book for him." Which means that my sister is not Kalvaxus. "As long as this book is kept "in the restricted section of the library, "no summonings or harmful conjurations "can occur on school grounds. "Only other Aguefort or the elven oracle "are physically capable of removing "the book from the restricted section of the library. "All others would be knocked unconscious "on their first attempt." - Is your sister? - No, I removed it. - The elven oracle. - You

removed it. - I removed it. - So you're the elven oracle. - Do you have anything, can you do an arcana check on yourself to see if your memories were erased? - Can you cast identify on yourself? - I don't know. - I'm sorry, the elven oracle is a child? You're not a child, but a teen. - Can I do an arcana, wait, how did you find out that your sister had her mind erased, or was that a spell? - She had that spell. - I did detect thoughts. - I can, oh no-- - On her. - What was that spell called? -

Modify memory. - Memory, modify memory. - I'm gonna make, I have a negative one arcana that I'm gonna change. - You have an arcana check, I don't think anything not magic is gonna be able to-- - Five. - I got an 18 on arcana. - [Brennan] Okay. - I got a 21. - You start looking, so what are you tryna figure out? - Can I cast detect thoughts on myself? - Can detect thoughts on yourself, I'm just gonna watch your eyes. - Can you dispel? Can you dispel that spell on yourself? - Give me a history che

ck and an arcana check. - Okay. I got a 20 history not net. And I got a 24 arcana. - I'm gonna give you two pieces of information. (beeping) The first piece of information is this. There have been many elven oracles. The elven oracle is a position that is filled by one elf at a time exclusively as an incredibly potent arcane figure in the world. The other piece of information is that on the evening of August 31st, the day before you went to Aguefort, presumably, the elven oracle died. (tense mus

ic) - So when the last elven oracle dies-- - [Brian] Did you become? - Did I become the next elven oracle? - It's like Santa Claus. - Do you know what being an oracle does? - Yeah, what does it mean to be the elven oracle? - Did I get Santa Claused into being the elven oracle? - I think you're Santa Claus. - I mean who died and how? - It was in that ship wreck. - It was in the ship wreck, the elven oracle died. - Oh right. - Whoa! - Wait so then, can you-- - If they-- - Can you dispel-- - [Brian

] Can you stop-- - Can you modify your memory? - Well I don't think that, it's not her memory. - I don't think it's her memory. - [Ally] But the ship-- - But your sister knew, your sister knew that you became-- - But how did my sister know that I became the elven oracle? - She must just know. - That sneaky little (beep). - Is your family-- - I hate her so much. - And then she got you to steal that thing, and she was also-- - You should put the book back. - Tied to-- - We should definitely put th

e book back. - This is what I have. Financial, this is the full people on payroll. We have Jawbone, the guidance counselor. Gilear the lunch lag. - [Emily] How much does Gilear make? - Do these match up? I have one that's a list of everyone's raise. - Oh sweet. - Those match up. - [Emily] How much does Gilear make? - [Brian] So he's a human, human lichenthrope, okay. - [Ally] Elf, Gilear. - [Brian] Gilear. - Demon, Gorthalax. - Demon, Gorthalax. Half elf, Chase. - How much does Porter make? - It

's not an amount, it seems to be the race associated with the person. - So the issue is that you're cross referencing the payroll information, which does have pay information, and a piece of federal paperwork that's about a diversity initiative from the federal government. So it's listing the different species of the teachers here. - Cool. - Got it. - Does one of them not match up? - Do we notice a disparity in pay per species? - The only non-humanoid is Casavian the Wise, who's the custodian. -

Make a investigation check for me, Riz. - Oh. - 19. - You're cross referencing it, they don't line up. One of those lists is one longer than the other. - Oh, got it. - You guys see Riz furiously like. (Brennan panting) (gentle music) - [Brian] Okay, so there are 28 races, 27-- - Cool, so someone has been scrubbed from here who is a non-humanoid. - Just says non-humanoid? - You guys pass-- - Is Porter on there? - [Lou] Yes, Porter's on there. - You guys pass by the library, with Watches and Ward

s in your hand. - Okay, let's go into the library. - Wait, can I make a perception check? - Yeah, good idea. I will also do that. - I got a 10. - Yeah I'll do that. - 18. - You guys can make some perception checks on your way out of Aguefort's office as well. - Cool. - Oh I got a 16. Oh no, never mind, I didn't. I got a seven. - Nine. - 17, what was the highest someone got? - [Emily] 16. - [Brennan] 17. - I got a 10. - As you're leaving, you broke in here a long time ago in the very beginning of

, sorry, Riz was the one who broke into the principal's office, right? - Yeah. - You broke in here. As you're leaving, you notice one thing. The waste paper bin, which is totally clean, you didn't find anything in, isn't in the spot where it was when you broke in here last. - Okay. So I'll check-- - Oh my God, it's a secret door. - Let's go-- - Put it where it used to be. - Okay. Take the bin, put it where it used to be. - Nothing happens. (beeping) - No, no, no, I take it and I put it upside do

wn. - You see an upside down waste bin. - Oh no! - So we ask (beep) Goldenrod to check out the trash can, maybe it's in his office, whatever was in there. - Yeah, let's go. - I'm gonna go, we need to put this in the library. - You can walk on the library on your way to-- - Yes, right, so let's put-- - You guys get to the library. You sneak in, you still have the darkness up. You put the book in there. You guys see that as you put the book back, Adaine floats up in the air about a foot, and is su

rrounded by moats of silvery light. - I'm not doing this. This isn't me. - Oh no, oh no. (Brennan singing) - And you see that an imagine of a spectral elven woman with flowing hair looks and says, and kisses you on the forehead, and says "Every oracle dies. "I died in a shipwreck, brutal." - Yeah, you didn't see it coming? - Sucks. (Brennan sighing) - I did but I thought there was a short man. I took a swing, and it ended up a miss, you know what I mean? - I really do. - Sometimes it doesn't wor

k out that way. - Sometimes it just doesn't work out. - The future, the might of prophecy and the endless strands of fate are in good hands, young one. And for real, be careful on ships, because when shit goes sideways-- - They seem really dangerous-- - There's nowhere to go, it's just ocean. - Right. I should just learn water breathing so that like if that happens-- - You learned water breathing? - [Siobhan] Yeah. - The (beep) it, I had it in my spell book, didn't prepare it. - No! - Had it in

(beep), on a ship! - Yeah, that seems-- - Who are you? - I am the elven oracle of days past! (Brennan blowing) Moats of light. - Okay. - Well she's definitely dead, I guess is what we're learning here. - You guys march on over to, you guys march on over to Goldenhoard's office. - Can I do something weird? I have something inspiring that I wanna say to everyone, but I also don't wanna take up too much of anyone's time, you know, I just feel like I'm always talking. - Like five to 10 minutes. - He

y guys, there's no dragon bourne on here. - What? - Goldenhoard's not on here. - [Emily] What is the consequence of him not being on there? - [Brian] He's not (beep) roll. - [Lou] He's not the non-humanioid? - He's not, no. - Or he's not dragon bourne? - A dragon bourne is a humanoid. They're a race of people. Goldenhoard isn't on any of these lists. There's no dragon bourne that works at the school. - Oh (beep). - Goldenhoard isn't a dragon bourne. - Really? Wait, so he's trusted faculty. - He

was so mean, I thought it was like he was mean so that meant he was a good guy, but I don't know, he's not on this list. Anybody else can double (beep). There's no dragon bourne. - Make a intelligence check for me. Raw intelligence, we'll call it a DC10 intelligence check. - I got an 18. - An 18. (whooshing) (tense music) Now I'm not sure if there's something medical going on here, that explains why you're having this panic attack, but I do have to give you detention none the less. Kristen, coul

d you take Waters and Wards to Principal Aguefort's office for me? - Sure. (Brennan whooshing) (tense music) - Memory of your very first day at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. - Kalvaxus can't touch the book, and he had you take the book. Oh my God. - You guys sprint to Goldenhoard's office. It's locked, I'm just gonna assume. - I'm just muttering an inspiring speech to help us with our hit points, but no one really has to pay attention to me, I'm just over here like, and it's just like, I did

n't think I would make like friends like this. It feels like a moving, almost. - I'm like what are you saying? Try to speak up, what? - How much HP is it? - It's like a lot of HP, which is why I'm bothering everyone. Please go on with what you were doing, I'll just be over here for 10 minutes. - Okay that's fine. Yes, I will, I mean-- - Kick it in. - I'm assuming me and Gorgug in some cool tag team like-- - We nod at each other. - Like yeah, bam! - It's a full like Bad Boys two, like bam! - Pod

starts playing. - Yeah exactly. You guys-- - Actually, before we go there, I'm also gonna play, I'm also gonna play counter charm as we're running there. - Cool. - So that we all have advantage on being frightened or charmed in case there's any kind of charm trap. - It's like your family is just your family, that's who you were born into, but it's like friends-- - You guys bust (beep) door down. Boom. Make investigation checks. You see Goldenhoard's office here. - And I love you you guys. - Oh I

got-- - Investigate. - 11 - I got 19. - I got a 20 not nat. - Got a six. (dice bouncing) - 14. - Two. - 19. - 20. You guys are going through, scrounge, scrounge, scrounge, ba-ba-ba-ba-bam, pulling things apart. You go and you find a little secret draw under the desk. You pull the draw open. (cracking) You find a scroll case, and you find a crumpled up piece of paper, as though from a waste paper bin. - Guys, I think I found our trash. (beeping) - The scroll case is the first thing you find. So

I might do the scroll case. - Great. A powerful spell scroll, it's magic long since used. Aged parchment and ensorcelled ink. Enchantment runes, deep divination runes, a powerful quest spell in Arthur Aguefort's personal lingua arcana. - So that description of what, that's your detect magic telling you that information about the object, and then here's the text on it. - I invoke the nine winds. I invoke the 13 sigils. I invoke the 69 glyphs of binding. Kalvaxus, in defeat your opponents have ele

cted to show you mercy, that you might learn from the error of your ways. To that end, I bind you. You will repay the land you have wronged by serving to restore it's future, thus shall your task be to steward all the generations of Solace's heroes yet to come. I lay this quest upon you that you will remain by my side as long as I live. - He is bound to the school then. - You shall relinquish your mighty form such that you may walk among the two legged folk as one of us. You shall be parted from

your treasure, never to hold wealth again, and you shall never kill another Celision as long as this binding stands. Oh and one more thing, you have to make sure that I have always tea on hand. Mix it up to, I get bored. Oh, mix it up too, I get, sorry there's a, he's not very good at spelling Arthur Aguefort. Mix it up too, I get bored if I always drink the same type of tea. Surprise me, I'll drink anything you give me, literally. I'm not picky. Karam kajam, I bind you. - So he is, so Kalvaxus

is Goldenhoard. - Yeah. - Also, Arthur Aguefort is terrible at punishing people. - Really bad. - But also why would-- - All of his choices are so spicy. - Why would he kill himself? - Everything's so spicy-- - To be fair, I don't think I would want to be a teacher for all eternity. - It's a bad punishment, but built in is that he had to be alive, which is bad again. - But he killed himself knowing that he was leaving Kalvaxus. - I don't, I think he's like, you know, sort of a wild card. - Well

the second thing is a prophecy. A prophecy is dictated by the oracle Alamanthandrial, to the paramore, to their paramore the wizard Arthur Aguefort, mere moments after the binding of Kalvaxus. When Kalvaxus once again beholds his glittering treasure, and seven maidens once more are chained at the mouth of lair, all befalls the realm and a king and queen are crowned new in Solace, then will the emperor of the Red Waste be released from bondage, his destruction will know no bounds. The sun shall f

all from the heavens, and the world as we know it shall perish forever. That's bad. - The emperor is Kalvaxus? - Yep. - Yes. - No, so Goldenrod is Kalvaxus bound, and then-- - Oh the Emperor of the Red Waste served Kalvaxus. - No the Emperor of the Red Waste is Kalvaxus. - Oh it is Kalvaxus. - Okay. - So Goldenrod is a bound Kalvaxus, and this prophecy is saying that if a king and queen, AKA a prom king and queen a crowned. (beeping) Convergence-- - Death of seven maidens. - At the mouth. - Ther

e are definitely gonna be seven virgins at prom. - How many virgins do we know that they have right now? - Seven, they have seven. - They have seven. - Seven exactly? - No, you're right! - They have Zelda-- - Yeah they definitely do, because they have Zelda. - It's Katya, Antiope, Penny. - Katya, Antiope, Sam-- - Danielle, Sam, Ostentatia, Zelda. - Just making sure one of us wasn't part of the plan, so we knew that ahead of time going in. - [Ally] Okay. - Because that would be a (beep). - Well I

mean none of us are (beep). - Yeah, we all do it, we do it. - All the time. - We gotta-- - (beep) 11 head points for my amazingly inspiring speech. - Where is his lair? Can I cast locate creature? - Welcome. - Oh never mind. (beeping) - To your final day at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. - Who told you that, an oracle? (Brennan laughing) - You see the PA system is blaring in the school. "You know, the funny thing about adventuring parties "that I never understood was how so many people "coul

d operate under the delusion that we have "loyalty to each other. "My kind has always understood "that you are born alone, and die alone." Your phones start pinging left and right. (beeping) "You see, when push comes to shove, I imagine "you will make the selfish choice." You guys see videos of fires being set to the Faeth home, the Thistlespring Tree, the Abernant home, Seacaster Manor, the Applebee's residence, and Strongtower Luxury Apartments. - Between our houses and the world, you expect t

o choose our houses? - Perhaps then your parents will be glad in their deaths knowing that you doomed them. - I break from the party and run. - Yeah, I'm gonna run to the Faeth house, because isn't that where my mom is? - I call for the hangman to meet me at the school. - Actually maybe I'll just. (Brennan blowing raspberries) Yeah I'm gonna run to the Faeth house. I'm just gonna say "Look, we'll meet back up, "it's gonna be a (beep) prom. "I'll see you at prom." - How long, I mean how long do w

e have? - It's about 45 minutes 'til prom. - But it's gonna be a while before they can crown king and queen. - I kind of wanna check out the IT-- - Let's burn down the gym and go. (everyone laughing) - [Emily] Oh that's a good idea. - You guys, you get a call on your phone. You hear screaming and you hear, "Bud, are you nearby? "There's something going at the house!" - I tear off. (Zac laughing) I'm coming! - All right, I guess we all go to our separate houses. - No, I'm gonna check out, where d

id all the palimpsest go again? - Yeah, I'll go with you to the AV room. I text my mom on the way, "So you should probably leave". (Brennan laughing) - I'm gonna go, yeah I guess I go to Strongtower. - Rad. Home, home, home, home. You guys go to the AV room. - Cool. Girl power. - Girl power. - I'm gonna need you guys to make an investigation check when you get to the AV room. - Great. (dice bouncing) - 11. - Investigation, I got a 25. - Jesus Christ! - [Ally] Hell yeah. - You bust into the AV ro

om. You sit down, all this (beep) that (beep) and all those guys were like, "There's actually a lot going on." Yeah, you're in immediately, effortless. (Siobhan whooshing) First of all, you find a bunch of deleted stuff. Apparently someone, maybe someone that didn't know crystals too well went and deleted the stuff, and didn't fully delete it. It's like sitting in a trash can somewhere. - Old people. (Brennan laughing) - You see, first of all, you catch something of Goldenhoard at his desk a cou

ple of weeks ago writing something on a legal pad that you see here. - So much reading today. - Yeah. - I know. - "Dear Mr Fallowglade. "If you would be so kind, a student's rat familiar "has gone missing somewhere in Elmville. "If you wouldn't mind summoning a few owls "and cats to help track it down, "it's swift recovery is of the utmost importance." I hate this guy so much. - Yeah, but we should text Riz and let him know that the rat is really important. - Yeah. - Can we do that? - Sure. - I

mean we just ping Riz. - You have Edgar? - Yep, I got Edgar with me. Text "Wasn't planning on letting him die, "but not I'll be extra careful". - Yeah, don't let anyone take him from you. - You see a couple other things. The two other huge things you see on crystal recordings is the supposedly deleted the night that the seven, weeks ago when you was right at the arcade, the seven missing girls all appearing in their bodies again with pre-set chains around them. And you see video of them at night

being taken out to the loading dock, back where the kitchens in school, and loaded into an airport shuttle. - Airport shuttle? God (beep). - You see as well. - Oh that one bus, right? - They're probably at the emperor. They're probably at the Red Waste, or wherever the prophecy said. - I mean it's-- - It didn't say the location's specific. - Yeah, once you behold his glittering treasure and they're chained at the mouth of his lair, wherever the (beep) that is. - That's gotta be in the Red Waste

, right? If they're going to an airport shuttle. Probably flew 'em to the Red Waste. (beeping) - Adaine, you notice something interesting. There are a handful of feeds in the AV room, streams from cameras. In no way does it even close to approach the number of cameras you have seen at the school. - That's weird, where are all the other cameras? There's like a camera on every hallway, right? - Yeah, which wouldn't be this many. - You see Porter Cliffbreaker, the Earthchinozi Barbarian, striding t

owards the AV room. As he approaches say, "Now, not supposed "to be students wandering around "in the school after." (whooshing) And his entire body is sucked into one of the cameras. - Oh my God. I text to Fig, "Also, I don't think Porter is a bad guy." - No, I'm pretty sure he's bad guy. (everyone laughing) Make sure you get him, and don't worry, I'm gonna be on him all tonight. - I don't have to get him, he's already in a palimpsest. - You see teachers all over the school grounds getting suck

ed into what are disguised as cameras, but are actually crystal palimpsests. - God, it's so sneaky. - Whoa! - We're going to move right along, gang. - Crap, I wanna stake out the gym a little bit, I don't know, are you good at stealth? - Yeah, what do you guys do after the AV room? - We're both (beep) terrible with stealth, I have a negative three. - You have invisibility, right? - Yeah, but it only lasts for a minute. - Get near the thing and then-- - Is there an upper level of the gym? - Krist

en, you get a call by the way after a minute or two of being in the AV room from your mother. - Okay yeah. - You see she goes, "Kristen, there's people "here at the house, do you know anything about this?" - Oh no, mom, are you guys okay? What are they saying? - They're attacking! They're burning the house down! - [Ally] Oh no. - Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang. - Try to get out and-- - Try to get out? - I don't know, pray! - You hear the voice of Bricker, your little brother say, "Help me!" -

(beep), I have to go. You just be, go invisible and check out the gym. - It only lasts for a minute, and then I can't use it again. - Okay, I'm calling an Uber. You use the minute, go look at as much (beep) as you can, jump in the Uber with me, come to my house. - Okay. - Look, Redolpho will be here in two minutes in a Honda Civic. (everyone laughing) - [Brennan] All right guys. - Use one of those minutes, go! - Do you rush over to the gym? - Yeah, I would like to poke my head in the gym as an

invisible person. - It looks beautiful, nice purple decorations. The theme is a night to remember with a K, a knight to remember. - [Brian] Oh okay, that's really lame. - Are there crowns in there? Can I see the crowns? - Yeah, I was gonna say, steal the crowns. - Make an investigate check. - 23. - Crowns are not in here. (beeping) - Okay. (whooshing) - Invisibility fades. - Hop in! I'm so sorry, she was gonna be right here. - I'm so sorry. - Its okay, its okay, because you're not doing a share,

so it's just, you know, it's just, you know, the more time-- - Can we go? - Just always hate to like make you wait. - Yeah, we gotta go. - It's fine with me. - Oh yeah, my whole family's on fire. - Oh, they're being attacked and killed? (tires screeching) You see that his car begins to fly through the air. Woo! - You're a dolfo, man, this is great! - Hell yeah! I actually am waiting to sign up for plus, because I should be able to do-- - You should! - Because the car's nice enough that it doesn

't make sense-- - This is gorgeous. - That I'm, yeah. - This is great. - For sure. Do you need help fighting? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Would you mind giving me five stars? - Oh my God totally. - Yeah! I'm gonna give you a little gem, they have that now. - Really? - I can give you a gem, and then I say "Great car, cool tunes". - Awesome, love it. You see that you guys fly through the air. I'm going to explain what's going to happen now. - [Siobhan] Oh shit. - You're all rushing towards your homes as the

y come under attack. You rush forward on the hangman, Fabian, you head to the Faeth home. You're all sprinting as fast as you can. These battles are going to occur, but we're not going to run them like traditional battles, because you're all off on your own separately, and not all together. So what's gonna happen is this, I have the box of doom here with me. I'm going to roll it over here. On a one through six, something truly terrible happens. On a seven through a 14, something bad happens. On

a 15 through a 20, things are okay. If you elect to go fight to help your family, to go fight and try to save them, you will give up half of your current hit points. You will give up 14 spell levels, right? And you will, and if you do that, I will make the roll with advantage. (tense music) - 14 spell levels, what do you mean by that? - So in other words, a first level spell slot is one, a second level spell slot, it counts for two. A third level spell counts for three, and you need to get up to

14. - I don't even know if I have that. - [Emily] Yeah, I know. - I wasn't planning to fight, I was gonna try to hide, sneak in. I wanted to get Sklonda and Gilear in my bag of holding, and then teleport out with my sword. - I can dig it. The challenges that await for you narratively are represented by this roll of the dice. - Got it, okay. - So. - So we're all gonna help, right? - I need to do some kind of insight check first. - Okay. - Because I'm undecided on my mom, because at first I felt

like, oh maybe she's a good person, but now I feel like maybe she was part of this ruby plot. - Go ahead and give me an insight check. (dice bouncing) - 14. (gentle music) - Your mom has never lived up to the standard you put on her of making your life good and perfect. She never was able to protect you from all the harm and suffering in the world, and maybe that's not fair. And she's probably just a person, and those photos make it look like-- - She's a complex person, she's allowed to be. - Ye

p. - Yeah. - Yeah, we're all doing it? - Since I'm with Kristen, can we take half of that each? - A quarter each, just to help my family and let her family burn? (Brennan laughing) - I've (beep). They're probably not even there, our families are at war. They're probably not even there. - I will say, you have to give half to get the advantage on the roll. You don't have to give half, but if you want to, I'll roll 3D20, and do advantage that way. - Yeah, I'm doing it, for sure. - [Emily] I mean I

have to do it, I don't know how I don't do it. - Yeah. - Okay. Well I would like to use my 18 divination roll on Kristen's family, so we don't have to deal with it. - Dope. - Cool, awesome. - Cool. - [Siobhan] Yeah. - And you're not rolling for your family, correct? (beeping) - Oh my God. - Cool. You don't get a-- - They didn't call me, they didn't come and visit me in prison, they didn't have-- - Your mom was kind of-- - They started a war to get my sister out and didn't come to see me even. -

I'm gonna give up half of mine for her family. - No, don't do that! - Okay, go for it. (Brennan laughing) - (beep) my family. - Just your mom was nice. - All right guys. I'm going to start making some rolls. Here we go. (tense music) (dice bouncing) - God. (Lou laughing) This is the worst thing I've ever been a part of. This moment right now, having to listen to these dice rattle around in that box. - It's almost better than watching it. - Rattle rattle, type type type, rattle rattle. - But he's

, ugh! This is like one of those things where they like slow-mo and they the judges gamble, like hitting it, and like that. (Lou sighing) (tense music) - I was wondering why my mom came to visit me and humanized herself, and this is exactly why. - So that you would feel this pain right now. - Yes. Because otherwise I probably would have let her go. This is devastating. - What if my family die? What if my (beep) family dies? - Your dad is-- - Your dad's the (beep) bad guy. - He's still my (beep)

dad, okay? - Okay. I will now describe what happens. (Lou laughing) - This is horrifying. - This is so bad. - It couldn't have been any other way. - I feel like it could have been something else. - Could have been. I wish for a magical ice cream to happen right at this moment. - That's what's going to happen, we all find out our parents died, and then ice cream appears in our hand. - You guys rush all over town as fast as you can. Fig. You arrive at the Faeth home. You see that there are lizard

folk, orcs, trogladites, hobgoblins, all wearing armor and red sashes, all with the emblem of the Emperor of the Red Wastes here. They have all journeyed-- - Dang, they're already organized with costumes. It's bad. - You slash and fight your way through them. You (beep) wreck house, you hit some power chords, cast spells. You get into the home to find Sandralynn lying on the ground, blood coming from her head. Her griffin is outside helping you fight, and she is unconscious. - Well I'll heal her

. (Brennan gasping) (Brennan coughing) (Brennan whooshing) (splatting) - She hits two more of these enemy combatants out on the lawn, stands up. Fig. - Mom? - Are you okay, are you okay? - Much more importantly, are you okay? I'm looking in way better shape than you. - You're looking great, how're you doing? - Thank you, thank you for noticing. No I'm good, but well I was until I found out that you're, look, I'm really sorry that I prioritized my dad over you. You're allowed to be a complex pers

on. (gentle music) - She sweeps you up in a hug, kisses you. You see she says, "I love you so much. "You're a good daughter. "Everything you're doing now is something I get, "I was just like you." - Sorry, I thought you were gonna die. (Lou yelling) (Zac laughing) (Ally screaming) - You see she looks and says, "Okay, we're gonna be okay, all right? "We're gonna be okay. "Do you, is this about the missing girls? "Is this about them somehow?" - Yeah. - What's going on with them? - I think that the

y are part of bringing the Red Emperor Kalvaxus back. - Okay, that's in the ranger's handbook somewhere. I can look that up. - Yes, I believe that seven maidens, they're all virgins, I believe that they've all been transported somewhere. That's part of a prophecy about how to bring 'em back. - Where, do you know exactly where? - His lair, I don't know if that means the Red Waste, or if he has some sort of like portable lair, but he needs his riches to be around-- - You see she says, "Airport, ok

ay. "It could be the Red Waste, there's a closer place. "There's a place that you can't get to walking, "it's up in the mountains. "Are your friends in trouble too?" - Yeah. - "Go with your friends." So she kisses you on the cheek, she says "I'm gonna go find those girls." She grabs her bow, swan dives through the window, lands on her griffin's back, and takes off into the sky. She says, "If they are where I think they are, "I'll be back in as close to an hour "and a half as I can. "You got 'em

sweetheart." - Come back to the prom. - The prom? - Wear a dress, or a tux, I'll wear a tux. - Are you wearing that? - No, no, no, I have a little blazer and maybe a tie. - You look so cute in that tie, sweetie. - Thank you! - All right, let's do this. (Brennan whooshing) Takes off. (Lou and Ally screaming) - This is gonna be a nightmare. That was number one! (everyone laughing) - God (beep). That was the most beautiful thing I've ever, (Emily laughing) I had to create mental images for in my ow

n head. - Riz. (tense music) (Brian laughing) You see Strongtower Luxury Apartment up in flames. You sneak your way in as fast as you can, sneak attack who you can. (Brennan whooshing) They're done. You know this building so well at this point. You dip all the way up into your apartment, where you see the apartment is completely burnt. (flames cracking) (Brennan blowing) Fire everywhere. You fought your way up through here. You get up as far as you can, you see there are charred bodies here in t

he room. - Oh no. - Go ahead and make an investigate check. (dice bouncing) - 27. - As you step, you hear a familiar sounding arcubus cock in the secret room, the spy room of your apartment. - Mom? (Brennan blowing) - Oh! - Sweetie, she comes out, kisses you. So she says, "You're banged up, are you okay?" - Yeah. - You see that walking out of the apartment with her, you see. (everyone laughing) You see just-- - This sucks. - Just straight up holding the leg of a chair is Gilear going. - Oh thank

God! - I was honestly more worried about you, Gilear. I figured mom would be okay. - You see that he says, "I hit someone "across the head with this. "I have never struck another being in anger before. "I didn't fully relieve myself, "but a little came out." - That's okay Gilear, you did a really good job. - I'm so sad and scared. - Invite him to prom! - Do you wanna come to prom, Gilear? - No, I want nothing more than to hide in a deep hole, eat my turkey crackers, have a big tub of yogurt and

simply never show my face again. You see your mom says, you see your mom says, "Sweet, what the (beep) is going on?" - Okay, so Kalvaxus is coming back. He has seven maidens. Apparently the dragon horn, or Goldenhorn, the vice principal at the school who became the principal is apparently Kalvaxus, and at prom tonight when they make a new prom king and prom queen, they'll sacrifice the girls and the prophecy, he'll be free. - She goes, "Okay (beep), what do you need me to do?" - Well you can't

get up to the mountains to help the people, so do you wanna go to prom with me, mom? - Kiddo, I was so afraid you'd ask. (everyone laughing) - I honestly, you know. - You see that she grabs a thing, she says, "Calling all cars, calling all cars. "We're gonna need all squad, all squad "on the gymnasium at Arthur Aguefort "Adventuring Academy, pronto!" You hear something come over the speaker going, "This is Agent Worrel, what exactly". Your mom goes, "Hey, Angela, why don't you (beep), "this is E

lmville baby!" And your mom cocks the gun, grabs another gun-- - Yo! (high fiving) - She's like "All right, you head there now, "I'm gonna get the cruisers ready. "I'll meet you there." - Right on. - You see, we're going to cut over now to the-- - I can't do this. - This one I can't. - It's so cute. - [Ally] This one I cannot. - I can't do this. (Lou laughing) - We cut over to the Thistlespring Tree, which is engulfed in flame. (tense music) You don't hear any screaming. You don't hear any noise

, just the crackling of the fire. There are dead bodies around the outside of the tree. - I run inside the tree. - You run past the flames. (Brennan whooshing) Scour away at your body, injuring you terribly. You land in the middle. Wilman and Digby both look at you and say, "Hey bud". You see that your dad is in a little greasy undershirt with some kind of Tesla laser cannon. Your mom has got a fleet of spinning gyros around her with little like poison electro plasma guns. You see they say, "You

wouldn't believe what just happened!" - No. (laughing) - You see she says, "I tell ya. "Those were some scary folks. "Those were some nasty customers, "I'll tell you that right now." - They're trying to bring Kalvaxus back, it's complicated. They're trying to crown a king, queen at prom. Explain everything. - You see that your parents then go, "Okay, okay." - We gotta go. - All right, that's fine. - I'm glad you're alive. - [Ally] Aw! (laughing) - "Oh bud, we're glad you're alive." They kiss yo

u on each cheek. They say, "Listen, okay, here's the thing, "you always gotta be kind, you always "gotta try your best, and there is no sense "in being a (beep) pushover." (gun clicking) You understand? (everyone laughing) We might be small, and we're real nice, we try to be kind to everybody, but if you come to the tree, you better be ready to never (beep) leave, you understand me? - Yeah. - [Brennan] You understand? - [Zac] Yeah. - Okay. Hey, this is how we do it bud. (everyone laughing) You s

ee Wilma looks over at a little crystal screen, and you see she goes "Ah dang. "Hon, it looks like there's some kind of, "I don't know, invading army coming in." Sees this, "Yeah, the satellite's picking something up. "Your father and I launched a satellite, "it was a whole production, I tell ya. "You were in jail." You see she says, she goes, she says, "I'll tell ya what, this looks like a big problem. "Digby and I, we're going to head out "to the tank, and we'll take that out "to the sign of i

nvading forces." - How long have we had a tank? I thought that was-- - What's that? - I just assumed that was something else. - Well we just use it to mow the lawn, but yeah, it's a tank. - Oh, okay. Yeah, use the tank. - So we're going to go take care of that invading army, do you wanna go help you pals with this prom thing? I'd hate for you to miss prom on your first year, bud. - That sounds good. Do you have any like bombs I could have? - You want some bombs? - [Zac] Yeah. - Sure, go over to

the bomb chest. Help yourself, knock yourself out. - Okay, I'll see you later. - All right buddy. (Brennan kissing) And just remember your song, okay? - Oh wait. (everyone laughing) - You see that they both head out to attend, you see that your mom and dad just go, "Rock, paper, scissors, two. "Rock, paper, scissors. "All right, I'll drive, you can get in the gunner." - Oh my God. - You see that your mom hops up into the gunner, lights a little cigar. (Brennan whooshing) (engine rumbling) (every

one laughing) And this tank heads off. "Bye kiddo, (beep) prom, bud." - All right. - Yes this is too much. - I can't, I can't take all this. - [Siobhan] Jesus. (Zac laughing) - These are the sweetest, nicest most beautiful moments ever. - [Ally] Yeah. - [Brennan] We cut over to the Applebees' home. - [Ally] All right. - I gave an 18, you rush in. Your mom and dad have taken out a ton of the attackers. They have their helper. (Brennan groaning) (beeping) (slicing) You rush in, one of your brother

s is unconscious, another brother is like bleeding out. You cast your healing spells. After the slaughter concludes, you, you know, have healed your siblings. Your father looks at you and says, (Brennan panting) "You think these guys were illegals, what?" (everyone laughing) - Oh my God. - Jesus. Should have let him die. - Dad, I think they, I think you need work. Hey, I'm gonna go help my friend check on her house. I wish you guys the best of luck, and I'm gonna take the car. - What do you mean

you're gonna take the car? - Bye! - We're gonna take the car. - You see, you get in the car, (beep) peal out. - I'm so glad other people's parents suck. - Yeah, I'm so glad I have another friend who's parents suck. - Right? - Like just categorically suck. - Just categorically suck, no questions asked. - Hey, are you worried about your parents? I'm really just worried about your mom. - Honestly, I don't even know if they're in the country anymore. - Yeah, we'll see. - I mean I guess we can check

. - You guys swing past the Abernant home. It has burned to the ground, it is gone. A quick detect magic from you shows that a powerful teleport spell was cast here. - (beep) cowards. (Lou laughing) (tense music) - Fabian. You tear on the hangman as fast as it will carry you. It holds a little palimpsest on the handlebars. You see it says, "Master, your father, "William Seacaster caught me spying on him. "He asked me to give this to you." - Oh. (Lou blabbering) What, why? - It's a message from h

im to you. - Can I play the message? - As you are (beep), (Brennan whirring) down on Elmville Streets, a little blip appears. You see your father, legs wide kind of sitting, pitched forward, saber at his side, tricorner. You see he says, "Well, hopefully this motorcycle "of yours will be able to get him "this message while you're in the brig. "You're not much of a grappler, "but damn that left hook, that's the money there, boy. "Aye, some of those were original teeth. "Boyo, I'll tell you this t

rue. (gentle piano music) "When you were pummeling me into unconsciousness, "a thing no man has ever done and lived to tell, "I had some time to think, as your powerful "fists were raining down on my head, "on the eye patch side, which is a low blow, "and I'll credit you that. "You're a fearsome warrior, remarkable athlete. "You're nothing like me, "and that's the most wonderful thing I can imagine. "I never had any choice but to be fearsome, "because there was nothing in my heart worth admiring

. "I was a mad man and a lay about, "and I took from the world anything I could. "You're different, I see the way "your friends look at you. "You don't command their fear, "you command their respect. "That's a feet I could never have pulled off, "not at your age. "You're nothing like me, and when you were "kicking the ever loving shit out of me, "I realize, that's my deepest wish, "and it's the thing I most wanted when we came here. "You've done me proud, boy." Message ends, you arrive at Seacas

ter Manor in flames. You rush in. Not only these Red Wastes soldiers, but humans with scarecrow masks on, Harvest Men. You rush through. (swords clattering) You get into the chamber here. You hear screams down near your mother's sensory deprivation egg, and up on the balustrade of the captain's quarters. - The sensory deprivation egg. - Making a choice between your mother and father, you rush towards sensory deprivation egg. You arrive there to see your mother's egg sealed, and you can see throu

gh the crystal silhouette of your mother drinking wine, and Cathilda, a whirling frenzy of blades tearing into the soldiers here. "Right, Master Fabian. (Brennan vocalizing) "Could you lend a hand?" - Of course Cathilda. - You lend a hand, you defend your mother's egg. The egg opens, "What is all the hubbub? "I'm trying to relax." - I slap the wine out of my mother's hand. (Emily laughing) "Get it together", and I run off to where my father was. - You see your mother like starts crying. "I don't

have"-- - "Mama, I'm so sorry but you have to (beep) "pull yourself together. "You have to be some kind of person, all right? "You can't just be a thing that lies around my house." And then I tear off. (tense music) - She stumbles over to this like whip thin elven sword on the wall, and before she gets there, you're out of the room. (fire crackling) You hear the shouts before you get to the room, and as you're almost there, a figure steps out of the quarters, the captains quarters. Harvest Man

mask wearing a tux. You go back and forth. (Brennan vocalizing) And this person (beep) kicks you in the chest up against the wall. A flaming beam drops on your chest, brings you to the ground. And this person slashes a decapitating blow. You twist your head as far as you can, the tip catches here, slices through bone and flesh and pulls your (beep) eye right out of your head. (Lou laughing) (Brennan grumbling) Blood down the side of your face. Thinking you dead, the harvest men in the tux moves

away, and you see your sword flashes up on the way out, and tries to kill this assailant. Pierces all the way through that assailant's left hand. (Brennan groaning) Looks back at you. Boom, another collapse in between you. This figure darts away. You hear noise of battle from the next room. I'm gonna need you to make an athletics check, DC25. - [Siobhan] Jesus (beep). - With-- - No advantage. (dice bouncing) - Athletics? - [Brennan] Yeah. - 22. - Go ahead and make it again. (dice bouncing) - Nat

one. - Beam sinks deeper. - Aren't you lucky? - I am lucky, I'd like to roll again. - Yeah, go for it. - Thank you. (dice bouncing) 21. - You end up squirming your way out after the sounds of battle have stopped in the next room. You take an additional five points of damage. (whirring) In the next room, the blood is coursing down your face from your injury. You step into the next room. The place is littered with bodies. People have been shot directly in the (beep). People have been hoisted up b

y ropes, like chandler ropes, double noose, hoisted up together. Tons of people have had their belts slashed, so their pants go round their ankle, and then been kicked in the nuts and shot in the top of the head. A carnival of violence has occurred in this room. You see easily, on the balustrade and in the chambers, and on the gardens outside, having been kicked or thrown off, maybe 60 dead men. And your father has taken a manacle and sometime in the battle manacled himself to the top of a bedpo

st so he could stay standing and keep fighting. Blood is oozing out of him. He is making death saving throws, and looks up at you, saber in his hand. (Brennan panting) "There he is, my darling boy". - Papa. I, fantastic work. (everyone laughing) - Oh you like my craftsman ship, do ya? - Lot of shots to the asshole. (everyone laughing) - You give 'em one in the brown eye, and they'll never forget ya. - Papa. - Do you mind taking me down off the post, boy? - Of course. - You see, you take him, put

him down, he says "I heard you go for your mama. "That's a good boy. "I would have slit your throat to stomach if you hadn't." - That's what I thought. Papa-- - You're so much better looking than I am, I'm so glad that I married your mother. - Stop it papa, papa I haven't had sex with anyone. You've had sex with everyone. (everyone laughing) - You see he looks at him and says, "I had sex with a lot of people. "It was always great." - I'm sure you were fantastic. - I was good at it. - Of course.

- Everybody came. - That's too much, that's a step too far. (Brennan sighing) (Brennan laughing) - The bank, they done this, didn't they? - You were working with them? - "They lost their palimpsest supplier, "and they needed another one. "Seemed like a fun job. "Get back into the criminal way, that sort, "all the fun you were having, I didn't want "my golden days to be behind me." Big clot of blood comes up into his beard. (gentle music) "Help me out to the balcony, boy." He comes out and says,

"You write your name "on the face of the world with your heroic deeds. "I thought you were just going to be me, "a way for me to live forever, "but it's better than that. "The story's going to get better with each new one." - Much better. - "Your face there boy." He takes his eye patch off, hands it to you. - I take it and then drive my sword deep into his heart. - That's the way to do it, boy! (Brennan groaning) Now you get out of here, because this is a new coat and it explodes when I die. (e

veryone laughing) - Oh papa, I thought it might. I'd like to jump off the balcony. - He throws, flips his magical saber into the air. You leap. "I shall leap into hell and kill the devil himself!" (explosion) You are silhouetted by the explosion, catch the sword of your father. - Can I call the hangman to be in the area of where I've landed? - Boom, team wolf, and you are out of there. - Oh my God. He could have survived! - He wouldn't have wanted to. Oh and I'd also like to smash any evidence t

hat my father ever had any sort of soft emotional feelings for me as his son. - You shatter the palimpsest, and with that the legend of Bill Seacaster is preserved forever. Bloody streak across your face. Eye patch covering it. The sword of the Seacaster's this beautifully basket hilt wrapped, gilded sword at your side. You roar on the hangman across town, as Gorgug, Fig, Adaine, Kristen and Riz all rush to the prom. Coming across the grounds, you hear music of a live band, festive merry making.

Gorgug. With the school in your sight, you see a little message shows up on your crystal. The message is a couple of days old. It got forwarded to you from your folks who are now in the tank elsewhere, saying, "This got sent to your old email account, "but we thought you might like it." From many weeks ago, you see a little link from Zelda saying "I was thinking about you "and I made you a playlist. "Hope you like it." (Lou and Ally groaning) - So much metal. - Is that? - Zelda's playlist. - Aw

w! - On that 20, you knock your opponents prone while you're listening to the playlist. - Hell yeah. I put on my headphones. - There's so many good kinds of metal here, dude. - You guys rush the front doors of the gymnasium. You burst through. An orcish band is playing up on the stage. As the doors swing, you hear, "Presenting your prom king and queens, "Penelope Everpetal and Dayne Blade!" Students turn to look as you enter. The crowns are poised in the hands of the orcish band members, and Vic

e Principal Goldenhoard as the soul chaperone turns to look at you. I'm gonna need everybody here to roll for initiative. (dice bouncing) (dramatic music) - Penetrate. (Lou laughing) - I got a 20. - You got a nat 20? - Oh sorry, I got a nat 20. - Jesus! - I got an 18. - Oh I got a 20 as well. I should have the advantage. - And guys, that is it for this week on Fantasy High. - No! - It's prom, baby. See you next week! (dramatic music) (Brennan laughing) - Dice. Guys, that's all for this chapter o

f Dimension 20, but wait, more full episodes call out to you from the realms beyond DropOut.tv. Will you come to their aid and sign up for your free trial today? - I have four bombs. (Emily laughing) Can I just pull the pin on all of 'em? (Brennan laughing) And run? - Right here on the stage? - Yeah.
