A is a phenomenal performance. I
4:39
really feel like he got overlooked

for acting awards for this performance
4:43
because he's amazing in it. but
4:45
he sort of wanders around the
4:47
movie with this kind of bewildered.
4:50
Look what he'd look on his face, which is you

in it? is that crossover marketing act as a whole.
16:51
If I was aca from looking says boost the view
16:53
as if is the i implore I'd probably be coming
16:55
off the top rope. On to people. Slain
16:59
when they least expect the other people's red carpet
17:01
premieres yeah you can often maybe like I was
17:03
Sf or and I know you must be here
17:05
for the celebrity premier deal. I get what you
17:08
doing on that top right of course and you
17:10
buy are you wearing a dressing gown assume your
17:12
suit is under their new ah yes of course
17:14
my seat and then since the or of a
17:16
sudden of with a rope they will deliver where
17:18
he bought from home yeah if he strung a
17:20
between T says came. Out say I'm instead of having
17:22
a fully red carpet they also had a sand carpet.
17:24
Which is pretty good while i axles
17:27
and gas and some just said sunday
17:29
sense that someone with now i risked
17:31
his style sand and in a typical
17:33
sand was a direct is he I
17:36
knew the words you know the words
17:38
minute oh the her the know what
17:40
team he know. Bay. Area.
17:44
Is stuff. Right Hearts
17:46
I thought. Why
17:49
you hate outside size? Style
17:51
isn't it? So I think I think the
17:54
problem is Ray I is. I.
17:57
Also, I would say probably not. It's probably
17:59
not as. The heart I fired more could have. Turned
18:01
to he like a. Lot of geology
18:03
and it you know you know what languages the
18:06
tolkien. Geology is to
18:08
frank d her but. Am
18:10
I making the sale? Sure,
18:13
As as Blimey know what I'm the only
18:16
me is made myself going on it and
18:18
some for yourself. Yeah, I think the Ims
18:20
probably I'm. So.
18:22
Like fundamentally broken by
18:25
irony. Dial. Main Unable
18:27
to enjoy anything that presents itself
18:29
entirely. Seriously that sincere or they
18:31
sincere or like thinks it's it's
18:33
good because it is the like
18:36
an eye on that. Was sincere.
18:38
Yeah. That's to remain, not defences
18:41
actually. And I can happen. It's a real
18:43
story. You're saying if there is a speculative
18:45
six cents, you can't have the speculative six
18:47
and be entirely sincere? I say I feel
18:49
it needs. To have a level of self
18:51
awareness to meet him, enjoy it. and that's
18:53
if that's a full math upon me that's
18:55
on an been yeah but I feel like
18:58
I would fines. Because
19:00
like before, one of the funniest things to me is
19:02
making fun of lot of the rings because of how
19:04
seriously it takes itself. Yes, and I
19:06
feel like dune would fall into the same category
19:08
as Mode of The Rings. For.
19:10
Me: Sad: Okay, I
19:13
remember my original say and it is
19:15
a long time ago, but it's called
19:17
the Tyranny of Irony or something like
19:19
that. S That's my, that's my eyes. And
19:22
it's that's how we can enjoy
19:24
sincere things Because irony has. Such
19:26
a crushing grin on the way we
19:28
view everything, but I feel I feel
19:30
when something is sort of slightly inherently
19:32
ridiculous. like I'm. Gandalf.
19:35
Yeah walking around so I hope it in
19:37
or. Timothy
19:39
Zalmay as of course his character
19:41
as Exxon Marek this is now
19:43
what allowance is probably one of
19:45
his surnames walking around the sandworms
19:47
town of like whatever Arab muslims
19:49
that Yemen flag yeah no that
19:51
wasn't insists see like any plots
19:54
at Eton Sunday is not seen
19:56
Dean one so I could tell
19:58
him literally anything. Yeah. I
20:00
feel like when something is sort of so
20:02
inherently ridiculous, I feel like a needs some
20:04
sort of acknowledgement of that or else. I
20:07
am. I do it in my head. And
20:09
then I would have undermines it. Means.
20:12
Your Head sign. Ask. Those
20:14
you have lots of laughs about and else I see.
20:16
yeah and I have watched all they Soames and I
20:18
did enjoy them. Yeah, so they. Are
20:22
I find out what's the in
20:24
and then silently to making a
20:26
web? Jake's yes, Say that before
20:28

20:30

25:11
what you've done. Okay, so I'm
25:13
gonna. Go. Off. Oh
25:17
I'm gonna go and try. And find
25:19
the old trade the train driver
25:21
from a previous adventure. Sure I'm
25:24
ah and ah. Basically.
25:27
Introduce him to my butler. Be.
25:29
A. Success. No,
25:31
I didn't. Like
25:33
go for a drink with him and tell him
25:35
and ghost stories conceive, eat and that he's quite
25:37
interested in. It's.
25:44
Soothing. For him to meet someone who
25:46
can sort of control them the numbing then
25:48
ah and on so I thought said to
25:51
him hey. If you ever need us.
25:54
Ah like if even the app? How many goes?
25:56
Problems Just. Give me a coal.
25:58
Ah Anna, I'll come help you. And
26:01
then than. Our you hastily he added
26:03
that Mississippi or I go on
26:05
and roll me for that's okay.
26:08
The train driver with of
26:10
his prissy massively send five
26:12
five. Okay, so yes
26:14
that is Sue Heat Reduce Nine
26:16
yet? Well done. And let's say
26:19
this: you eventually tracked down the
26:21
train driver. Yeah, and it's haven't
26:23
I. You sidle up to him
26:26
alongside of the ball with the
26:28
the story prepared about the meaner
26:30
offering of hope the guys. As
26:33
soon as he sees you, he
26:35
downs his drink and hastily leaves.
26:39
Clearly. Terrified. He.
26:41
Will not be talking
26:44
to her. The. Blue
26:46
coats? right? About.
26:48
What happened kid? He? The implication is
26:51
he will be talking to someone at
26:53
the some lot. I'm just. I'm just
26:55
saying there are there are forces out
26:57
there who I'm who who have more
26:59
persuasive way ways and means is. Stressing
27:03
information. but if.
27:08
He totally would have gone to the. To.
27:10
The in I to the cops. Who.
27:12
Who? but and he? he was just working
27:14
effort in the body was working at the
27:16
cards to do that. Sam when he signed
27:18
on as I write time he he assumes
27:20
that you are now telling him everywhere and
27:22
right right? Yeah, we find you were. Well
27:24
where are you two were I to be?
27:26
anywhere you like. And
27:29
I think Barnaby will decide. What
27:32
I did leave out the value of
27:34
it. Where am I? Wow. I'm Brian.
27:36
As an eve on I got think
27:38

what did you come here to discuss? Cameo
31:50

31:56
the two of you know by
31:58
this point the last time. You
32:00
encountered Kelly and or. Was
32:03
on the roof of the dimmest
32:05
sister Manson, the head of the
32:08
order, the old friend to. Pass.
32:11
In I will not friends anymore but
32:13
suppose now Nemesis with a Eleanor your
32:15
your own patron A lot some you
32:17
encounter is a reminder yeah you on
32:19
the break the roof the dimmest as
32:21
dimension and she was screaming. I think
32:23
cod got one line out in that
32:25
adventure but it was in a voice
32:27
that I regretted. It
32:31
as being very raspy. But what
32:33
you have learned since then is
32:35
that she is cause a member
32:37
of the brightness. News. With
32:39
you follow. Well
32:42
I mean yes probably ag and really
32:44
have any other plans for today. I
32:46
get completed blackout drunk and you know.
32:51
This this will be a financial fully I'm
32:53
in. This black Jack is really managed to
32:56
do that about this blackout as I'm to
32:58
detect. Okay let's say that in fact the
33:00
blackout remains because when you when you acquiesce
33:02
to the to their requests to me. Kelly
33:06
each one you by the hand and
33:08
they just walk you through this kind
33:10
of pitch dark blue Barnaby. You've been
33:12
in this social house long enough to
33:15
recognize the kind of being led to
33:17
the door and you feel least like
33:19
that you're going down steps will you
33:21
can't see them on You are basically
33:24
guided blindly out of the building. And
33:27
then walks along gently, occasionally amusing
33:29
navigating this place while not being
33:31
able to see anything exactly as.
33:35
For. Quite a long time. Been to be you
33:37
do? You do kind of know roughly where in
33:39
foliage pull you are Occasionally feel a kind of
33:42
like. Bump. In your shoulder
33:44
and you imagine you're probably bumping into people
33:46
on the street eventually that you start to
33:48
lose your way and over. About the let's
33:50
say a half an hour I you are
33:53
events in a guided through. This is kind
33:55
of pitch darkness and eventually you you come
33:57
to us. And.
34:00
The. Gloom. Disburses
34:02
and you find that you are inside
34:04
a building. A.
34:07
Moldering. Olds house For a grim
34:09
it's not the dimension you would know
34:12
that if he saw it as both
34:14
a fat really I saw it did
34:16
destroyed it. basically that the way won't
34:18
look at night isn't Haven't had a
34:20
word to John Kerry idea that the
34:22
a bit of their own kind of
34:24
caved in and you know that was
34:26
a lot of especially else is that
34:29
as my mother in I'm to skyn
34:31
to be professionally dealt with in this
34:33
room in this mode the old regime
34:35

35:02
a success. A threat I going on or
35:04

35:19
Yeah words. Ah.
35:22
As much better security. Was
35:26
relief synthesis it must be honest,
35:28
the asbestos in the pacific? yeah
35:31
I'm definitely be something nasty in
35:33
this seeming of that all place.
35:36
Who did your favorite collapsing
35:38

35:42
we return start pushing. Yes,
35:45
sorry, have a seat on

but it will ruin my
35:51
coat. Remained
35:54
standing. Is he like like you to me?
35:57
You are I believe. At War.
36:00
The zebra. Don't
36:02
it won't was a pretty
36:04
good that might a skirmish.
36:06
Let's say it's the white
36:08
they're using right while retaining.
36:11
I know all about. Oh really?
36:13
Oh yes, I do talk a
36:15
lot about myself. As
36:18
they've been tracking you for some time,
36:20
have they been reading the Society paces?
36:24
And what any have a Shetland pony
36:26
up I know a separate want us
36:28
to just not like it or he
36:30
might have acquired taste I feel can't
36:32
get enough of this is donkey he
36:34
specifically com bust enough every summer speech
36:36
synthesis. Of.
36:42
It's the brightness decision for now that
36:44
the most discreet course of action is
36:46
simply to observe you, and that's what
36:48
they have been doing. But be under
36:50
no illusion, they will not hesitate to
36:52
strike and strike hard if they deem
36:55
you real threat. And
36:57
that time could come sooner than you think. I
37:00
have no more information to offer because
37:02
he see I am myself no longer.
37:05
In communication with group. What
37:08
Happened? Y. And
37:13
z you ask an us new?
37:15
Well I say they're a bunch
37:17
of cowards. Insisting I say they're
37:19
a bunch of cowards. We've been
37:21
at Loggerheads sometime over some keep.
37:24
Philosophical disagreements, I
37:27
want to keep pushing risk ghost
37:29
research. The pace is the veil
37:31
between realities. ah, at sacrificing sanity
37:33
for madness in search of deeper
37:35
truth. And they just want to
37:37
maintain the status quo. Want Em
37:39
seems to keep spinning? Gosh, I
37:44
lost my temper. Things were said.
37:46
I stormed out. Anyway,
37:50
Being be enormously wealthy. The
37:52
status quo does have some appeal. Butts
37:56
and bread to listen to your. Your.
37:58
Side of the argument is what is the. The
38:01
great wealth and the advanced in the
38:03
power if we're not using it to
38:05
push forward into bold new realms of
38:08
discovery like even in this room. I.
38:10
Believe. We could only
38:13
place to fail if we could
38:15
see what it the cost have
38:17
a sense of thousands of truth.
38:19
Some horrifying yes but some beautiful
38:21
potentially would come screaming out physicists
38:23
at the wouldn't you like that
38:25
you should come screaming out how
38:27
willing out there all around town
38:29
Yeah wailing, you might suck us
38:31
moon How close ally. I.
38:34
Don't really senate and fifty plus from them.
38:38
And way to see she babbel
38:40
zone in this some alarming way
38:43
of for some for some time
38:45
before eventually. Coming. Back to
38:47
her point Regardless, I
38:52
stormed out. One. Day later, two
38:54
of my favorite acolytes seized by. Spirits
38:59
was. Sentenced on the
39:01
Church of Ecstasy to be. Earned
39:05
at the state in public. onto
39:07
a punishment that has not been
39:10
used in boneless pork for. Now.
39:12
On one hundred and fifty Years and why do
39:15
you think coincidence that the day after I stopped
39:17
know that trying to send a message they would
39:19
be to come crawling back? Well I don't cruel.
39:21
I have other plans you will my other plans.
39:25
Gotta Eat has rescue
39:27
my acolytes from public
39:29
execution tomorrow. Okay,
39:31
okay, save them and an exchange. I'll
39:33
tell you everything I know about the
39:36
person's. That sounds like a reasonable
39:38
deal he asked. Said fine.
39:40
Get that mirror entirely Next
39:42
fusion. Not a problem. Yeah, through
39:44
the defences creep me out by the one than light.
39:47
Bulbs. And lie as information We
39:49
need. The information. Yes quite aside
39:52
from that be to people are going
39:54
to be unfairly trend of the state
39:56
but well as have been unfairly. Somewhat
40:00
unfairly as that the judges or trumped
40:02
up I didn't say they wouldn't do
40:04
entertainment as. As
40:06
is fine world. sure they moved
40:09
if you spirits. The physicists who
40:11
hasn't say didn't inhale twist of
40:13
like. Twist. Of lemon
40:16
offensive didn't pass ssssss with fertile
40:18
as I'm fine, I'm rice. Ah
40:20
find any information we should know
40:23
about this public execution? Anything useful?
40:25
What you want to know: Location,
40:28
infrastructure were they being held at
40:30
the moment? The when he drinks
40:32
in the drinks cabinet because I'm
40:35
my boss is starting to go
40:37
ah have something rather pokemon. Quite
40:39
a success a within her clothes
40:42
as he pulls a success. Milky.
40:45
Looking substance, And. I
40:47
thought that the phone be I'm not
40:49
sure whether or not is and me
40:51
that I'm not sure whether that as
40:53
a sensible thing right and. Some
40:56
reason I consider. My
40:59
drawn in the not know the to
41:01
save myself. I'm gonna put this don't.
41:06
Tell it's time to sit it back
41:08
and will take to take them into
41:10
purple. Kind. Of. Bluffing.
41:12
Kind of creeps into the causes of our ice
41:15
so. Fast.
41:17
I think hangover, right? Yes, I'm so. where
41:19
the hell were you act like being held?
41:21
That's probably the most. Potent. That
41:23
immigration at the moment? they're being held in.
41:26
I. And hook Prison rice I
41:28
don't Prison is the it's the
41:30
prison voters put it is a
41:33
huge ah and never allen's that
41:35
all the criminals from Ssssss or
41:37
is it a towering metal fortress
41:40
on the on the outskirts the
41:42
southern outskirts of of Bonus Pool
41:44
where the worst almost unlucky criminals.
41:47
Ah are incarcerated.
41:50
That being held. There. For
41:53
now though, be moved
41:55
by carriage convoy along
41:57
with. I assume
41:59
seven. The prisoners to
42:01
the execution yard which
42:03
is to place in.
42:06
Bright. Stone I believe this. Setting.
42:08
They're probably setting it up now and that's where
42:11
the execution will happen. So m as I see
42:13
it, you have. Ample. Opportunities
42:15
to intercept. I would do
42:17
it myself. They would see
42:19
beginning and well. I
42:22
imagine Strangford His. Brief
42:24
them to be on the lookout for my strength to.
42:27
Strength. Lord strength. It. Oh
42:29
Lord. strength that sorry I thought you meant some
42:32
sort of. In a brick I
42:34
peeled sauna be you know that
42:36
lot. Strangford on operates one of
42:38
the largest leviathan hunter fleets. That's
42:40
how. His family made
42:42
his fortune. He serves on the city council.
42:44
He's a high ranking judge within the Church
42:46
of Ecstasy. I will once if sentence nice
42:48
to desist as to death he the brightness
42:50
to as well as Kelly know his name
42:53
is on the list you cured. He's.
42:55
The one who am. I.
42:58
May have called him some names. He. Hates
43:00
me. That's
43:02
fine as up he's a bit of an
43:04
idiot. White Will
43:07
he be overseeing the entire process? I
43:09
mean will he be accompanying the the
43:11
the to acolytes from I'm Hooked to
43:13
Bright Certain. No, I don't know. He
43:17
is it. Secretive. Fellow
43:19
and. He I imagine
43:21
he would. My. Know
43:23
into a real bowl. As I say the have
43:25
not a public learning and hundred and fifty years
43:28
it's very cruel and I coming from me. What
43:31
I mean the the risks as of
43:33
killing people. In. A public place
43:36
should? you must be one of the
43:38
that sort of how they mitigating that.
43:41
I assume they have spirit wardens
43:43
on hand. Backers will probably be
43:46
somewhere in the mix with his
43:48
goons. Lilith you remember who lacquer
43:50
off as the leader of the
43:53
their the eccentric leader of the
43:55
spirit wardens, the masked individuals who
43:57
are in charge. Oh duh. Moving
44:00
bodies. Yesterday. In
44:02
Ghosts yes on their convey
44:04
about I imagine under controlled
44:06
conditions. yes those a something.
44:10
As anything else, if you get pregnant for us
44:13
to know, I think we should probably get cracking.
44:15
You want to know their names? Sure
44:17
one have. Been.
44:21
To be I think you know them. Quite. Well already.
44:25
Go on. The. To Rosie
44:27
in Jersey. All
44:29
around the ones who went inside
44:31
my head, ah yes, we can
44:33
we not just sort of let
44:36
them. Maybe. Be a
44:38
bit spent at the steak. Of course you
44:40
can. If I want that
44:42
information us as okay fine find it
44:44
go along with it. Not.
44:47
Terribly happy. Oh.
44:54
Okay, well we've been given
44:56
some information by Kelly I
44:58
know, I guess. sorry by
45:00
Kelly and or not a
45:02
huge amount I suppose this
45:04
overseas. Some on the outside of the in
45:06
a circle. As things stand. So just
45:08
ah yes you have your task is
45:11
the answer Planning phase. Right now it
45:13
looks like a intercepting them in transit
45:15
is from of the ad carries. It's
45:18
for me the weakest point at the
45:20
years Have much luck break into prison.
45:23
Say yes. Think it's just finding out
45:25
when they'll be transported and finding a
45:27
way to stop that and get them
45:29
out. Sounds
45:31
good. On. If
45:33
we can get a look at the the
45:35
transport ahead of time perhaps maybe rate get.
45:38
Me: Every name is the on how. Good.
45:41
They sound like the sound like
45:43
cool maneuvers. let's start rolling for
45:45
them. So we show spawned be
45:47
what do we start with you
45:49
you He was going to find
45:51
out a the yeah one little
45:53
it's a I'm sure it's a
45:55
private contractor he's providing security this
45:57
operation so ah probably acne some
46:00
my contacts amongst the wealthy to.
46:02
I'm find out a little more
46:04
about. Which.
46:06
Which services being tasked with moving the
46:08
prisoners and what sort of equipment they
46:11
going to be using. Yeah.
46:13
Gonna. Make. Me
46:15
a role for that Now would that be. Consort.
46:18
Do you think will sway? consult
46:21
feals? close to me But V
46:23
and the case as way you
46:25
know Now I think as fine
46:27
is it is. Yeah, consulting sounds
46:30
about right the solitude ice but
46:32
let's go to go. Oh wow
46:34
T Sixes wow. okay lowering costs
46:37
and ah up quick return. Other
46:39
that square family accent he bought
46:41
a security company while he was
46:43
drunk. It
46:46
say that the. Let's
46:48
say you didn't You didn't buy it,
46:50
but you'd have invested quite heavily. I
46:52
do remember Darnell I and hookers. The
46:54
try pot wailing from and with I
46:56
support his bugs me. When I'm adding
46:58
he tried to hit me in the
47:00
habit. The paddles ah well. maybe I
47:02
tried to hit him in the head.
47:05
And. Fuzzy on the details as
47:07
you yeah a look. What?
47:09
Happens, it's a dunno haven't Same as
47:12
it more often that see. His
47:15
soul food badly and see refer if if
47:17
you know he noted it's asked for us.
47:19
we're on the wolf's you are on the
47:21
you arrive via your over That I was
47:24
a and yet you I eat you you
47:26
put a little money into into that he
47:28
actually came to to to you Barnaby He
47:30
was very persuasive is very persuasive or use
47:32
is looking to expand in numbers. Words on
47:34
earth my say you know I know good
47:37
investment when I see one that the try
47:39
put wailing. Famous been doing so well, he
47:41
was looking to expand into private security. And
47:44
so yeah it is Tripod Security
47:46
Nice I is is the is
47:48
the private firm who are with
47:51
the blue coats organizing the at
47:53
the. Prison. Transport
47:55
obviously. This. Is
47:58
a slightly special case. Because
48:01
haven't been a public execution like this.
48:03
He numbered and fifty eight. So logistically
48:05
it is a little. they're a little
48:07
unusual an end up a little a
48:10
little niece or you know is. That
48:13
the carriages that the Tripod
48:15
security firm. Provide. A
48:18
are. Real secure. They
48:20
are kind of reinforced inside and
48:22
out. It is extremely hard to
48:25
get in or out. the discourages
48:27
there are no windows or that
48:30
that completely sealed and I'm kind
48:32
of reinforced I and all around
48:34
and you know if the of
48:37
the highest grade manufacturing each each
48:39
requires. Two keys
48:42
I used symbol tiny Sli
48:44
to open. And
48:46
yeah, that's also say
48:48
that. Because it has got
48:51
that logistically. Tricky thing
48:53
to have organized earn
48:55
these. Carriages. They
48:57
are moving. Not just the prisoners
48:59
are, they are also moving. Quite
49:02
a few other prisoners because yeah, I'd hooks
49:04
overflowing that moving into kind of halfway. Halfway
49:07
Houses is that the right legacy of of
49:09
as the moving them to a yes other
49:11
other smaller prisons other lock up some of
49:14
them are on their way to the parole
49:16
board or to the to the courts as.sights
49:18
Quite a few prisoners are being moved in
49:20
the same convoy. It's
49:23
you know there's a logistical benefit
49:25
and the security benefit to because
49:27
it's not clear. Who will
49:29
be in which carriage the plan
49:32
A soup You been given so
49:34
much information you've been given a
49:36
I like the routes from I
49:38
Unhook I. It's a kind of
49:40
winding roots that take some unpredictable
49:42
turns. It's it's not kind of
49:44
direct path to the square where
49:46
the execution is that to happen
49:48
and then the other characters are
49:50
gonna go on woods to go
49:53
out of that. but characters like
49:55
ice spikes on both sides by
49:57
blue coats on horses and carriages.
49:59
Will be driven. by employees of
50:01
the security firm. Mm-hmm. Tripod
50:04
security. Heavies, if you like.
50:07
And then... Is it all of the
50:09
carriages that the... Goat drawn. Is
50:11
it goat drawn? Yeah. Is it all of
50:13
the carriages that the company owns
50:15
that are being put in service? Are
50:18
there any spares at all? Good
50:21
question. Is it our
50:23
whole fleet? I'll
50:25
tell you what. Every carriage
50:27
that is currently functional. Carriages
50:31
that are broken or in need of
50:33
repair. They are obviously
50:35
not being used. Every active
50:38
servicing carriage is
50:41
going to be passed this convoy. It's a
50:43
big operation. Do we know which
50:45
carriage our two pals
50:47
are going to be in? Our two ghosty
50:50
pals? No. Okay.
50:52
We'll probably find out,
50:54
but why does he care? Mm-hmm. He's
50:57
probably not even going to be there. Do
51:00
we know which one will be at the front? Which
51:02
carriage will be at the front of... Will
51:05
it be just one carriage or like... Oh, no.
51:08
This will be about... Yeah, a proper convoy about
51:10
how many...? Ten. Ten
51:12
carriages. Ten. Okay.
51:15
So I'd like to try and find out which one will be
51:17
at the front of the
51:19
route. Which particular carriage? Which particular
51:21
carriage will be at the front of the convoy.
51:24
Okay. Cool. Okay.
51:27
So I'm going to have a little roll. A
51:30
studie, I suppose, for that. Ooh,
51:33
I've got a two and a four. I've got a four.
51:36
A four? Okay. What
51:38
you did was basically stake out. Einhoek prison.
51:40
Mm-hmm. You
51:43
set up a position in an
51:46
empty building, kind of across the road. Property
51:48
prices round there pretty low. Looking out onto Einhoek,
51:51
it's quite a grim view. It's a big room,
51:53
yeah. This huge metal fortress.
51:56
And you basically just watched things
51:58
happening, the gates opening. things coming
52:00
in and out. You did see
52:02
like carriages, like
52:05
tripod security carriages going in.
52:08
Yeah. You could make a reasonable guess
52:10
that the last one, the last carriage
52:12
you saw going in, is probably
52:14
going to be the first one out. Because
52:18
otherwise logistically it's gonna, you know, inside they would
52:20
have to kind of reorder. Yeah. They're probably gonna
52:22
spin these things on the spot. Was
52:25
there, I suppose, what'd you get? You got a four,
52:27
right? Yeah. Yeah, you noticed
52:29
a distinguishing feature of that
52:31
final carriage to go in.
52:33
It's subtle, it's a
52:35
little bit of chipped paint on the rear bumper,
52:38
if you like.
52:41
But in
52:43
the process of doing this you were spotted.
52:47
You leaned a little too far out the window and
52:49
someone on a watchtower shone a
52:51
bright light at you and went, hey you, you
52:54
with the hood. Yeah? What
52:56
do you want? Oh, I just think carriages
52:59
are really cool. Name please.
53:02
Oh, it's
53:05
a... it's
53:08
a... it's a what? It's
53:12
a lovely night, isn't it? And I run.
53:14
Cool. All right. Yeah, fair
53:16
enough. They didn't get your
53:18
name. This one
53:20
guard got a look at you.
53:24
So it's not gonna be easy to sneak in.
53:26
Probably, probably at least
53:29
the prison, maybe the convoy, are gonna have been
53:31
briefed to be on the lookout of, you know,
53:33
they'll be given a list of like, if someone's
53:36
gonna try something it'll be this, you know, you
53:38
suspects, kind of gang leaders,
53:40
known, you know, known wrongs
53:42
who they believe will be interfering and you
53:44
are on that list. Well, your description is
53:47
on that list. Okay. Riding
53:49
the momentum of my wonderful
53:51
crit, I'm sure I
53:54
could argue that this is a really
53:56
big deal for my security
53:58
company and it's a big investment. and
54:00
this is potentially very important
54:02
for the future of the company. So
54:04
I feel like I should be sort of able
54:08
to oversee most,
54:10
if not all of the stages of this
54:12
operation. I
54:14
feel like my presence should be not
54:17
at all suspicious. Yeah,
54:19
just wants to make sure it goes
54:21
smoothly. It appears the company, it
54:23
can't go wrong. Let's say... Now...
54:28
CEO, co-founder, come on. Yeah,
54:31
let's... you are a big investor
54:33
in the company. Let's say... Darnell
54:36
ultimately gets final say. It is his co...
54:38
you're an investor, but it's his company. However,
54:41
as a significant investor, you
54:43
do hold some sway. Hmm.
54:46
He agrees that yes, this
54:48
can happen, but... he'll
54:50
have to be with you every step of the
54:52
way. That's fine. Flashback. I
54:55
get drunk with him. Okay. In
54:58
one of his preferred rowdy, you know,
55:00
hard side pubs. Yeah, cool. And
55:02
we have a wonderful time. We get on
55:04
swimmingly, obviously. Sure. Because I'm... Because you end
55:06
up in the harbour. I'm like... Alright,
55:11
fine. Yes, that also happened. Cool.
55:14
Yeah. Take me one stress for
55:16
the flashback. Yeah, so you just want to be basically on
55:18
good terms with... Hmm. Yeah.
55:20
With the Iron Hook. It's been a while?
55:23
Yeah. Get on like House on
55:25
Fire. He hadn't even planned to
55:27
like oversee this whole situation, but
55:29
you know... I tell him it'd
55:31
be fun. Yeah, yeah. For
55:34
a key investor, he's willing to do
55:36
a... It's basically a kind
55:38
of very cushy ride-along, is what you're...
55:40
Hmm. Cool. Okay, is there
55:42
any other planning you want to do? Yes.
55:46
In order to engineer
55:49
a situation... Where
55:53
we have access to one of the carriages...
55:57
Here's my thinking. little
56:00
elaborate but I have been drinking. What
56:03
if we take one of the less shoddy
56:05
carriages that needs some repairs, might fall
56:07
apart at any moment, blah blah blah,
56:10
switch the serial numbers so that
56:12
in the convoy there's a broken
56:14
carriage, and then I'm
56:17
thinking take the working carriage as
56:19
a replacement, last
56:21
minute replacement, with, here's the fun
56:23
thing, saw a magic show recently,
56:25
trick floor, and then all
56:27
we need to do is work out a way for Rosie and
56:30
Josie to hide in the trick floor and
56:32
then it'll look like they've vanished. Probably
56:34
won't even investigate that much because they'll just put it
56:37
down to weird, you know,
56:39
magical nonsense. I
56:42
love it. Okay, let me try and
56:45
recap, paraphrase what
56:48
you just said. Your plan is, take one of
56:50
the kind of shoddy carriages, yes, but
56:52
basically functional, but likely to fall
56:54
apart during the journey. That could be made
56:56
functional perhaps. Install in
56:58
that carriage a trick
57:00
floor and have it swapped out
57:03
with, you know, with an existing,
57:05
yeah, basically get it into the convoy. Yeah,
57:07
I want the carriage with the trick floor
57:09
into the convoy, I don't mind if we
57:12
swap them early and then install the trick
57:14
floor into the functioning carriage or vice versa,
57:16
but either way I want there
57:18
to be a carriage with a
57:21
trick floor. Okay. My only problem is
57:23
I don't know which carriage Rosie
57:26
and Josie like to be in. I don't
57:28
think there's enough time to fit trick floors in all of
57:30
them, so we are going to
57:32
have to work it out a little bit
57:34
on the flight, but that's my plan. Okay.
57:38
It's sounding like maybe this plan
57:41
is going to start not with
57:43
the convoy in process, but like
57:46
at the prison, potentially.
57:48
You know, as the convoy kind of gets underway.
57:51
Yeah. Okay. Uh, all
57:53
right. I love it. Well, I mean, we can switch the serial
57:55
numbers. Uh, we can switch
57:57
the serial numbers initially. Yeah. We've
57:59
got a broken. carriage, come to the
58:01
prison, last minute, this
58:03
carriage is broken, it's non-functional, look, this
58:05
axle is damaged or whatever, and
58:08
then use that as the opportunity to switch in
58:11
a functioning carriage with a trick-floor.
58:13
Cool. Cool, cool, cool. I
58:15
think, yeah, the biggest obstacle still is that
58:17
you don't know where Rosie and Josie are
58:19
going to be in
58:21
the convoy, but, and I don't know how,
58:24
but maybe that's something that we figure out
58:27
on the fly in flashback, that feels
58:29
like the kind of thing where
58:31
if we start at the Trine Planet we
58:33
would basically be in the score already. Yeah,
58:35
also we've got to somehow communicate to Rosie
58:37
and Josie their
58:41
role in the plan, which probably is
58:43
going to do some weirdy spooky stuff to all
58:45
the prisoners that they're in with, and
58:47
then clamber into a hidden
58:50
trapdoor. Lillith, why don't you
58:52
tell me how you want to do that and
58:54
we will see how it goes as part of
58:57
the engagement role. Yeah, I would
58:59
like to hide
59:02
within the little trapdoor my
59:04
little ghostie pal Finn, so that when
59:07
everything is in transit she can pop
59:09
her head through the trapdoor and be
59:11
like, hello, you can get in here,
59:13
Lillith says get in here, we'll get you
59:15
out, well they know ghosts, so you know,
59:17
they're fine. So if you want to live
59:20
hiding in the trapdoor, and
59:23
she likes me, so she'll do some things,
59:26
and I promised her another fun day doing
59:28
ghost things. Cool, that sounds great, because then
59:31
you don't need to communicate with Rosie and
59:33
Josie in the prison. Okay,
59:35
so we'll see how well
59:38
your instructions to Finn get understood as
59:40
part of the engagement role. We
59:43
do that though, this trap floor
59:45
you can't just, no
59:49
pun intended magic up a trap floor. What's
59:52
Edvard up to? He doesn't have much of a social life. Edvard
59:57
and the other two, whatever.
1:00:00
their names are. You
1:00:02
find that they are not there, which is weird, they
1:00:04
normally leave a note, but they are not around.
1:00:08
So it's up to you two to maybe
1:00:10
find someone in town capable of constructing
1:00:13
this sort of mechanism.
1:00:17
Do we know any Astor engineers? Those chaps seem
1:00:20
like they know what they're doing. I
1:00:24
could ask Flint, because he's making all
1:00:26
sorts of ghost traps and
1:00:28
stuff. He's at my Spirit
1:00:30
Tricker. So I
1:00:33
could go and ask him whether
1:00:35
he makes them or he gets someone else to
1:00:37
make them find out where he gets his ghost
1:00:40
traps from. And he didn't die, did he?
1:00:44
No, I saved him. I saved him
1:00:46
from a very horrible situation.
1:00:48
Yeah. Yeah, he's really big.
1:00:50
Flint doesn't know how
1:00:53
to build a trap fort. However, Flint
1:00:55
gives you the address of someone
1:00:58
who does. Why don't we kind of
1:01:00
flash you to outside of this kind
1:01:03
of like shabby looking sorts of building.
1:01:06
It's somewhere
1:01:08
else in Charhollow. Yeah, you're
1:01:11
stood in front of this door for the address you've been
1:01:13
given. Okay, I'd
1:01:15
like to knock. Yeah,
1:01:19
the door has kind of opened a
1:01:21
crack. And you see a bright gleaming
1:01:24
eye out of Elo.
1:01:28
Who is it? Hello,
1:01:31
my name's Lele. I heard
1:01:34
that you're quite good at making
1:01:37
things. A
1:01:40
potential clown? We. You
1:01:43
have money? You
1:01:46
can tell. He
1:01:50
does. He
1:01:52
looks like he has money. Yeah, he does.
1:01:55
Then come in, Maslow. Hello. The
1:01:58
door is pulled to the ground. wide
1:02:00
revealing, you know
1:02:02
what, revealing a Tabaxi,
1:02:06
a tall cat
1:02:09
person. Now
1:02:11
Lilith, you've travelled around a lot. You
1:02:14
have seen... Are you seeing this? Yeah.
1:02:17
So it's not just the
1:02:19
absinthe then? No, no,
1:02:21
no. I
1:02:25
would say that in the old days it
1:02:27
was much more common to encounter Tabaxi and
1:02:29
all sorts of
1:02:32
other peoples of the world, but since
1:02:34
the ghost calamity with travelling around so
1:02:37
perilous and only the cities being safe
1:02:39
for habitation, it
1:02:41
is very, very rare to see a
1:02:44
Tabaxi in this part of the world.
1:02:46
But here is one. Come
1:02:49
in, come in, have a sit down. Hello.
1:02:53
Welcome. Yeah, we need
1:02:56
a trapdoor installed
1:02:58
into a carriage. Ah. Interesting.
1:03:04
It can be done? Yeah, with
1:03:06
a compartment underneath that's big
1:03:09
enough to hide two people but
1:03:11
can be concealed anyway. Two quite small
1:03:13
people. They're not massive. Two small. Yeah, they're not.
1:03:16
What kind of carriage are we talking about? An
1:03:19
extremely secure prison carriage.
1:03:22
Oh, the price just went up.
1:03:28
I also feel it
1:03:30
might help our
1:03:33
case a little bit if
1:03:36
we ostensibly
1:03:39
have added some additional security,
1:03:42
perhaps security against magic,
1:03:46
for this particular carriage. Because
1:03:49
then we can make our case when we switch the
1:03:51
carriages that actually are two most
1:03:54
high profile, most dangerous
1:03:56
passengers, let's say, euphemistically
1:03:58
prisoners, should housed in
1:04:00
the most secure of the characters. Nice.
1:04:04
Very nice. Okay. So
1:04:07
perhaps some ghost feel stuff, you
1:04:10
know, sort of like what
1:04:12
Edvard was cooking up for the
1:04:14
train carriage, you know, maybe just those additional, they
1:04:16
don't have to be functional but they just have
1:04:18
to look the part. It is
1:04:20
no problem. I can cook up something
1:04:22
like this. Let
1:04:25
me show you my la beretra. Yeah,
1:04:27
you are... You want to
1:04:29
put on sorry? La beretra.
1:04:32
The lavatory. Sorry, I'm not... my
1:04:34
French is terrible. What?
1:04:41
Just say it slowly. He
1:04:43
speaks nonsense, Nippon. Sweet.
1:04:46
Yeah, you are shown to the laboratory
1:04:49
of this tabaxi. Who introduces themselves, by
1:04:51
the way? My name is
1:04:55
Carthon de Rode. Carthon
1:04:57
de Rode. So
1:05:01
called the code. Carthon de Rode.
1:05:04
Carthon de Rode. Like a road
1:05:06
bike. Like
1:05:08
a goat wood pole. Carthon
1:05:12
de Rode. Right. Oh, well, how
1:05:14
very fitting. Yeah.
1:05:17
Perfect. I was named for
1:05:19
my... because I love to wander. I
1:05:24
was considered something of a charlatan
1:05:27
in my homeland.
1:05:31
I pretended I could speak
1:05:33
to the... I'm getting really into this. Yeah?
1:05:37
New favorite. I
1:05:39
may have pretended that I could talk to
1:05:41
ghosts. This is how I made the acquaintance
1:05:43
of your friend. Oh, you love... you love
1:05:45
Lilith. Yes, I was
1:05:48
a trickster, a magician, using false
1:05:50
flaws and ghost fields. Perfect. Mostly
1:05:52
I... What a stroke of luck.
1:05:57
Yes. There is only one thing I...
1:06:00
I ask of you, apart from a great
1:06:02
deal of money for service I am about
1:06:04
to provide. I
1:06:06
have been living in this school area. It
1:06:09
is despicable for a
1:06:13
cat of my talent. I
1:06:18
want you to make sure when this goes
1:06:20
down that everybody
1:06:23
knows the... It
1:06:26
was thanks to the brilliant
1:06:28
engineering of Carton de Rode,
1:06:30
the famed Tabaxi illusionist. I
1:06:34
mean, that's fine. It might
1:06:36
get you into a little bit of legal trouble, but
1:06:38
otherwise... They would have to catch
1:06:40
me first. I would be reclining to the trapdoor.
1:06:45
You make a good point. Carton
1:06:47
de Rode seems a reckless thought. No
1:06:51
need to roll for this because I love Carton
1:06:53
de Rode. I can't even imagine a world
1:06:55
where they fail to do a brilliant job. So
1:06:59
the plan is, are
1:07:01
you going to bring the carriage to Carton de
1:07:03
Rode? Well,
1:07:08
we presumably own the warehouse where they are
1:07:10
stored, right? You have
1:07:12
a controlling interest in the warehouse where they
1:07:14
are stored. You
1:07:16
can go there. And
1:07:19
actually, you know, this
1:07:22
is long before the actual supervised portion
1:07:24
of the thing. Yeah,
1:07:27
let's take him there overnight. I
1:07:31
think at this point we have to start covering stuff
1:07:33
off with the engagement role. Let's hope it all goes
1:07:35
well. Okay, but
1:07:38
to recap, the plan is get
1:07:41
Carton de Rode discreetly to
1:07:44
the warehouse where all of the
1:07:46
carriages are being kept. I
1:07:49
think I already said that they've been moving
1:07:51
in and out of Einhoek, but let's say
1:07:53
that they are taken in and out. There's
1:07:55
prison transports daily, so that's, you know, they're
1:07:57
currently overnight before the execution. Being
1:08:00
stored in a try Hot
1:08:03
warehouse get cards on the road there Make
1:08:06
modifications to yeah, I said
1:08:08
carriage switch serial numbers get
1:08:10
busted carriage with modifications
1:08:14
into convoy Tell everyone
1:08:16
Rosie and Josie the most
1:08:19
dangerous prisoners should be stored in the
1:08:21
motor your carriage Yeah, and
1:08:23
then but break them out using
1:08:26
a ghost on route or not break
1:08:28
them out Okay,
1:08:31
let's roll the
1:08:34
engagement roll Okay
1:08:40
Pup D for sheer luck. Mm-hmm.
1:08:42
Excellent. Is it particularly bold or daring? Yes,
1:08:45
you know it It's
1:08:47
a Barnaby score Now
1:08:50
overly complex or contingent on many factors.
1:08:53
I'm going to say Yes,
1:08:55
mmm. It feels not not not
1:08:57
too complex But it is complex
1:09:00
there are like a
1:09:02
lot of moving parts here So
1:09:04
we're going to take away those left Hi
1:09:06

1:10:14
thanks for listening. Right, back to the podcast. But
1:10:30
excuse me if I don't think a bunch of ragtag journalists from
1:10:32
a pulled up town are actually going to be a venue. But
1:10:45
technically I don't come from here. When the
1:10:47
mysterious arrival of a celebrity from the Heroes
1:10:49
in Adventurer's Guild sets off a strange conspiracy, the
1:10:51
group will have to leave what they think they
1:10:53
know about the world at the door, if they're
1:10:55
ever to unravel the truth at the heart of
1:10:58
the seemingly nondescript town. It's not
1:11:00
front page of the Sarsai style. I
1:11:02
pulled up the today's installment of the
1:11:04
news to see what the front page
1:11:07
actually is. There's a big picture of
1:11:09
a pumpkin that's been stepped on, and
1:11:11
it says outrage as pumpkin stepped on.

is available for listening right now wherever
1:11:19
you get your podcasts. With season two
1:11:21
on the way, find out more at
1:11:23
dicebreaker.com. Does the
1:11:25
detail expose the vulnerability of the targets or hit them
1:11:27
with their weakest? I'm going to say yes because... We
1:11:30
literally own the company. You
1:11:33
also had the option to break them out of prison
1:11:35
or try and free them from the
1:11:37
pyre, the executioner's pyre, but you have sort
1:11:39
of... Come
1:11:41
to the conclusion that the... Oh, the three, this
1:11:44
is the one straight and one off. Yeah, the safest, yeah. Is
1:11:47
the target strongest against his broken... No,
1:11:49
particular defences or special preparations, no. Friends
1:11:52
or contacts provide aid, hell yes. Yeah. The
1:11:54
new best friend cast on the road. Are
1:11:56
there any enemies or rivals interfering in the
1:11:58
operation? Not that we know
1:12:01
of but you know we're always
1:12:03
being overlooked The
1:12:05
brightness are always apparently not that you
1:12:07
know of although you have heard that
1:12:09
there is a group with whom you
1:12:11
have had prior war
1:12:13
apparently Not
1:12:18
even just the brightness I think baccaros
1:12:20
is the spirit we know the spirit wardens
1:12:22
are involved in Probably
1:12:24
the rail there. He still doesn't know he
1:12:27
just knows me as the intern who flunked
1:12:29
off That's
1:12:31
true, but he's a brightener Yeah,
1:12:33
he's on the hill he'll certainly know Are
1:12:38
there any other element any other elements you want
1:12:40
to consider you've currently got two dice so if
1:12:42
you want to Make
1:12:44
a case Let's
1:12:49
just do and be legends. Hell yeah, here we go
1:12:54
Two fours, hey not bad,
1:12:56
okay That
1:12:59
is success Conflict
1:13:03
okay Let's
1:13:06
say the part of the
1:13:08
plan involves cuts on the road obviously go smoothly Literally
1:13:12
this dude cannot put a poor wrong Yeah,
1:13:16
you get what's the kind of
1:13:18
guys under which you're getting cuts on the
1:13:20
road into the Into
1:13:22
the warehouse where the the carriages were all being stored
1:13:24
on it um, I I'm gonna
1:13:26
be actually quite upfront about it and
1:13:28
say look I only recently
1:13:30
heard that these These
1:13:33
two this roast in Josie I've had they've
1:13:36
had dealings with me in the past they assaulted me
1:13:38
So I Lord I'm so sorry. Yeah. Well, I
1:13:41
know can I get you a nice pack? Well,
1:13:43
I mean was a little while ago Now I have recovered Yeah,
1:13:48
I'll take the eyes back because my eyes are completely shocked But
1:13:52
uh, yeah, I I think we need to
1:13:54
step up security, you know, this is an
1:13:56
extremely important. Um, yes contract
1:13:58
for our company the Future
1:14:00
of the company really rides on it, so
1:14:02
your job included. We have to burn those
1:14:04
horrible witches. We have to burn those horrible
1:14:06
witches. This is what I was saying not,
1:14:08
you know, 24 hours ago to my companion
1:14:10
here, Lilith, and spiritual advisor.
1:14:14
And a yoga teacher, and also
1:14:16
a nutritionist. And
1:14:19
yes, the point is that we
1:14:22
need to get these two witches,
1:14:25
let's just say, to the funeral par. So
1:14:27
we need extra security. We're going to add
1:14:29
stuff. We have this expert in
1:14:31
the dark arts
1:14:33
here to create some security, just to ensure
1:14:35
that they don't try any magic funny business.
1:14:38
Carthon the Road says nothing but raises his
1:14:40
eyebrows and flicks away his cigarette lo. I
1:14:44
reach for a green smoothie from
1:14:47
Lilith. Yep. Green smoothie please.
1:14:50
I'm just loving because
1:14:52
Lilith is the whole time. Well,
1:14:55
I just remembered Lilith is watching the
1:14:57
whole time, and Barnaby's eyes are really
1:14:59
pretty. Yeah, pretty much. These
1:15:01
tiny spectacles, and there's like huge, huge
1:15:04
balls. Yeah,
1:15:07
I need a green smoothie to keep my
1:15:10
eyeballs hydrated. I
1:15:12
give him a green substance.
1:15:15
Thank you. Down
1:15:17
the hatch. Much better. You get cut
1:15:20
on the road into this warehouse. You
1:15:23
are sort of walked over there by the bloke
1:15:26
who was on the door. Well,
1:15:30
it's not exactly what Mr.
1:15:32
Einhoek specified, but
1:15:35
if you would like, we could... I'm sure we can speak. I'll
1:15:38
be with Mr. Einhoek tomorrow
1:15:40
throughout, so don't you worry about it.
1:15:42
We'll both be there. We'll both be
1:15:44
supervising. We both know how important this
1:15:46
is to the future of the company.
1:15:48
So I will fill him in later, but
1:15:51
for the moment we are running to time pressure
1:15:53
here, and we really... We've got to get these
1:15:55
out within the hour. Well,
1:15:57
I mean, this is our most secure...
1:16:00
carriage. The carriages are kind of arranged
1:16:02
in who rows of fives. You
1:16:05
can't see any difference between them really, but
1:16:07
he points to one carriage amongst
1:16:10
all the others. I think
1:16:13
at this point we can sort of safely
1:16:15
discard the element. Swapping
1:16:17
in the broken carriage. If you
1:16:19
want, sir, we can make sure that Rosie and Josie are transported
1:16:31
in this carriage. That would be perfect. I mean,
1:16:33
we're going to add some specific anti-magic
1:16:36
measures to the side of this
1:16:38
carriage that will hopefully prevent them from trying
1:16:41
anything. I will let your mechanic
1:16:43
get on with it. Thank you. Tarts on the
1:16:45
road, flicks down a welding mask like
1:16:47
that, and brings out some tools, and basically just gets
1:16:49
to work on this carriage. And
1:16:51
kind of within an hour rolls
1:16:54
out from underneath it. The
1:16:58
carriage now... Sorry, I'm
1:17:00
bored about it. He's
1:17:03
fanned by me. Some
1:17:07
habits are to be encouraged, you know. Yeah,
1:17:14
he kind of gestures to the
1:17:16
cart, which now kind of glows
1:17:18
with a faint of
1:17:21
australtronic heave. It is
1:17:24
a ghost field active now on the
1:17:27
carriage, and the trapdoor
1:17:29
is installed. If
1:17:33
anyone, all
1:17:36
the passengers would need to do
1:17:38
is to stamp twice hard on
1:17:44
the central section of the floor. A door will pop
1:17:46
up, they can climb in, no one will
1:17:48
know it is here. Perfect. Thank you
1:17:50
so much for your work. It's completely hidden.
1:17:52
I will leave it now. Alright,
1:17:54
I would like to hide Finn
1:17:57
in there and give her the instructions.
1:18:00
Okay. Tell Finn what to do. Hello.
1:18:04
It's nice to see you again. Hello. I've missed
1:18:06
you. Oh, where are we? So, we're
1:18:08
in... Oh. Let's
1:18:11
see all these fabulous carriages. So
1:18:14
shiny. Yeah, well, I need you to
1:18:16
do a special job. I need you
1:18:18
to. Aww. Aww, that
1:18:20
looks lovely. You know what? We've
1:18:23
got it. I've got... I need
1:18:25
you to do this for me and then afterwards we're
1:18:27
going to do a whole day of work. A lot
1:18:30
of super fun stuff. Alright. Okay.
1:18:32
We're going to go exploring and
1:18:35
see some other ghosts and stuff.
1:18:37
Okay. Excited for that?
1:18:40
Cool. So, what I need you to do... Before
1:18:43
we do that, I need to help these two people.
1:18:46
And so, there are two... Two
1:18:49
Rosie and Josie are going to be in
1:18:51
this carriage later on. They're
1:18:53
nice. They're not friends as well.
1:18:56
They're very nice. They are nice. I
1:18:59
reach for a drink. From my
1:19:01
light flode. Your
1:19:04
kind of... To everyone else, by the
1:19:06
way, this looks like Lilith is just basically whispering
1:19:08
to a jar. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
1:19:10
yeah. It looks like she... You
1:19:12
loudly say something about your nutritionist
1:19:15
mixing up a tonic or something.
1:19:17
Yes. Yes. Yeah.
1:19:20
Just ignore her. Nutritionist. Who knows?
1:19:22
It seems to work though. Regular as
1:19:24
a grandfather clock. Um, so... Yeah. I'm
1:19:27
going to have a drink. Um,
1:19:31
yeah, so, but what I will say
1:19:33
is that they're the... They're a
1:19:35
pair of the dimmer sisters. So, if they try anything
1:19:37
with you, you're allowed to spare them a little bit,
1:19:39
okay? But only to keep them in
1:19:41
line and make sure they don't hurt you, all right?
1:19:45
So, what you need to do is a little
1:19:47
way along is you need to pop your head
1:19:49
out and you need to
1:19:52
tell them to stamp on this bit of the floor twice,
1:19:54
okay? I can't
1:19:56
stamp on the ghost. No, but
1:19:58
they... you need to tell them. to
1:20:00
do it okay they
1:20:03
stamp on this little bit
1:20:05
of the floor okay and
1:20:08
then the door will open and then they
1:20:10
can come hang out with you in the
1:20:12
little gap in the carriage and
1:20:14
then you have to be as quiet as
1:20:17
you can like playing sardines and you have
1:20:19
to be quiet all right okay I'll be
1:20:21
quiet and then
1:20:23
afterwards when it's all done we can
1:20:25
go do something funny you can be as loud as you want
1:20:28
and we can have a lot of fun all right okay
1:20:31
okay okay do
1:20:33
our special handshake yep you
1:20:36
still sit there. I continue drinking.
1:20:39
Now you rolled
1:20:42
a four which means that let's
1:20:50
see according to the according to the book you're
1:20:53
in a risky position where the action starts the
1:20:55
risky position I'm gonna say comes from the fact
1:20:57
that you a large part
1:20:59
of this plan hinges on a ghost
1:21:04
telling the dimmer sisters something
1:21:07
to do yeah famous ghost
1:21:10
manipulators and spirit
1:21:12
twisters but maybe
1:21:15
but you know that's not a problem
1:21:17
for right now is it do we want
1:21:19
to add any other? Please be okay
1:21:21
Finn. Don't hurt my little Finn. Okay
1:21:26
right. Don't eat ghosts
1:21:28
through there or something.
1:21:31
No but they twist
1:21:33
them around. Spirit twisting
1:21:35
right. You have placed
1:21:38
Finn's bottle I guess with the
1:21:40
lid slightly yeah yeah in
1:21:42
the hidden part of this compartment as you do this
1:21:44
you get the chance to examine the mechanism for yourself
1:21:46
and kind of like that softly
1:21:49
like a soft closed drawer just like kind
1:21:52
of opens it's a real slick piece
1:21:54
of anything right yeah
1:21:56
it's just a great action and yeah
1:21:58
you place the you place thing
1:22:00
in there no problem yeah
1:22:03
at this point you are both
1:22:06
of you stood in the warehouse
1:22:08
of carriages someone is starting
1:22:10
to you know kind of like whistle and stuff
1:22:12
that that goats are being kind
1:22:14
of like tied to the carriage come on
1:22:16
get these moments! all
1:22:20
right yeah the convoy is heading to
1:22:22
the prison what do you two want to do?
1:22:26
I would
1:22:29
like to flashback and
1:22:33
Edvard was telling me about this amazing contraption
1:22:35
that he'd made that was
1:22:37
basically like a clockwork clockwork spear
1:22:40
but like a clockwork kind of
1:22:42
also like bayonet almost type thing
1:22:44
where it's just like a piston
1:22:46
thing and you wind it
1:22:49
up and leave it and then eventually after
1:22:51
a while the spear just comes out the
1:22:53
end and goes dum! and
1:22:55
it's just like sort of like a
1:22:58
security he's looking at different security measures
1:23:00
I mean he impaled the marvelous mechanical
1:23:02
man with it so it's kind of
1:23:04
like one of his like back to
1:23:06
the drawing board ideas but I took
1:23:08
it and I
1:23:10
would like to install it on
1:23:12
the coach that I saw as probably
1:23:14
being the first one with the little
1:23:16
bit of paint missing I would like
1:23:18
to install it unlike by the wheel
1:23:20
so that time it
1:23:23
takes it like one of the problems is it
1:23:26
takes so long like the clockwork
1:23:28
he made was too long so it was a
1:23:30
few hours that it's it so
1:23:32
I'd like to kind of like wind it
1:23:34
fully up and then by the time it
1:23:36
actually goes off they'll be on the move
1:23:38
in the convoy and then
1:23:40
once it stops spoke will go out
1:23:43
it'll go like this spear will go
1:23:45
out and go in the spokes and hopefully stop the
1:23:47
convoy okay sure um roll
1:23:49
me for that okay so I'm gonna do
1:23:51
this as a oh
1:23:56
I got six okay cool
1:23:58
yeah So you find
1:24:02
the carriage with the chipped bit of paint. And
1:24:05
yeah, this thing, I guess it looks like a, well,
1:24:08
it looks a little bit like a telescope when
1:24:10
it's all folded up. It's got a metal cylinder
1:24:12
like that. And you just
1:24:14
basically discreetly just duck down,
1:24:16
pretend you've dropped something and just ram
1:24:19
it up into the, and
1:24:21
it kind of sticks between two bits of wood. Yeah,
1:24:25
and that's going to, hopefully,
1:24:28
well, you rolled a six, yeah. So you're
1:24:31
pretty confident that you aimed this right. And
1:24:33
it's going to go off and I guess,
1:24:35
yeah, the leading carriage, stop the convoy. Okay,
1:24:39
right. Yeah, the carriages
1:24:41
are all being taken away. Where do you two want
1:24:43
to be? What do you want to do? Where do
1:24:45
you- I want to go and meet with Darnell.
1:24:47
Yeah, okay. And
1:24:50
as casually as possible, drop into
1:24:52
conversation that, because
1:24:55
I've dealt with Rosie and Josie before, I've
1:24:58
added some extra security. Yeah, sure,
1:25:01
sure, that's fine. Won't
1:25:03
make you roll for that. Let's
1:25:05
say you're now with Darnell.
1:25:07
Let's say Darnell has just arrived as
1:25:10
the convoy is leaving the warehouse. He
1:25:12
himself walks in and
1:25:14
says, Barnaby, didn't this bit find
1:25:16
you here? Wow, big day for the company, isn't
1:25:19
it? Will you be accompanying the convoy
1:25:21
with me? Still want to do your little ride along?
1:25:23
Absolutely, yeah. Well, you know, it's important to keep an
1:25:25
eye on this. And as I may have explained to
1:25:27
you when we were drinking the other night, I've had
1:25:30
a run-in with this Rosie and Josie, and I want
1:25:32
to see them get to that stake and get burnt
1:25:34
as quickly as possible. Don't
1:25:36
do characters. You're right, weirdo, Barnaby,
1:25:39
but your money folds. Um...
1:25:41
Uh, silly. Well,
1:25:46
I'm about to saddle up. He explains
1:25:48
to you that as this convoy of carriages kind
1:25:50
of goes, single file, down the streets of Volusport,
1:25:52
he will be on a horse. Yes.
1:25:56
You know, walking to one side of it
1:25:58
the whole way, as will. many
1:26:00
blue coats and... Fine. I
1:26:04
shall also ride a horse. As
1:26:07
you know, I'm a rather accomplished polo player,
1:26:10
top scorer in my team last
1:26:12
year, they keep tapping it towards me just in front of
1:26:14
the goal and I tap it in. It's really quite a
1:26:16
straight forward game. So yes,
1:26:18
I'll be riding alongside. Lillis,
1:26:21
what's your plan during the tournament?
1:26:24
I would like to be along
1:26:28
one of the streets, the
1:26:30
quieter streets. Yep. There will
1:26:32
be a crowd of people probably who will
1:26:34
just be watching this happen. Yeah,
1:26:37
I'd like to just be walking behind the crowd, just
1:26:40
wandering along. They're not going to be
1:26:42
moving quickly, these characters, are they really? You
1:26:45
could probably track them on foot. Let's
1:26:48
jump to... I don't
1:26:50
think we need to see any business in
1:26:53
the prison, do we? We've
1:26:56
got no business there really. Lillis,
1:26:59
you kind of vanish off, melt off
1:27:01
into the crowd and
1:27:04
take your place along. It's like Disneyland, when
1:27:06
you know where the parade's going to be,
1:27:08
so you get a good spot on a
1:27:10
corner. Meanwhile, Barnaby,
1:27:12
you accompany Darnell on horseback, roll
1:27:15
me for how good you are
1:27:17
at riding horses, really. I'm
1:27:21
one, enjoying the Barnaby thing, and two,
1:27:23
liking how to explain to me parades,
1:27:25
you immediately went, like Disney. I
1:27:30
would say this is a finesse roll,
1:27:32
surely. That's four and a two. Okay.
1:27:37
You are... You
1:27:40
know in Labyrinth, where that little fox rides around on
1:27:43
the dog? That's me. Something's
1:27:48
wrong with this horse, I think. I
1:27:52
normally have mine sedated first. Would
1:27:56
you like me to sedate your horse? No, it's
1:27:58
fine. Yeah,
1:28:02
the carriages move into
1:28:05
the prison gates open, like
1:28:07
that, and you
1:28:09
are kind of filed into the
1:28:12
yard. You get a glimpse of
1:28:14
prisoners being escorted
1:28:16
out of the prison. They are all
1:28:19
tightly shackled and bound and
1:28:21
escorted by many, many blue coats. The
1:28:25
carriages kind of, they
1:28:27
don't really stop, it's kind of almost like
1:28:29
a conveyor belt system, like the carriages just
1:28:31
slowly move along. Like
1:28:33
a ski lift. Yeah, it's
1:28:35
like a ski lift of
1:28:37
terrible criminals. Like a Disney
1:28:40
ride, like the haunted mansion.
1:28:42
Put it in more relatable
1:28:44
terms, yeah. What you don't ski,
1:28:46
you must try it, it's wonderful. And
1:28:50
criminals are where I get most of my ghosts. Loaded
1:28:55
in. You notice, Barnaby,
1:28:59
that criminals are being loaded
1:29:01
in, as you would probably imagine, one
1:29:04
to a carriage. Interesting.
1:29:06
To cut down on, I guess,
1:29:09
planning, scheming, and
1:29:11
to minimise the risk of passengers
1:29:14
trying to overwhelm and
1:29:17
overpower, well, anyone
1:29:19
really. You see,
1:29:21
in this group
1:29:24
of 15 individuals, sorry-looking
1:29:26
individuals, are Rosie
1:29:29
and Josie. They are bought
1:29:31
out, they're still wearing their kind of
1:29:33
hoods. But they're
1:29:35
not. Why
1:29:38
not? They are now like stripey, black
1:29:40
and white, prison
1:29:43
and you, kind of like long hooded
1:29:47
cloaks. Vertical or horizontal?
1:29:50
Horizontal, surely. Horizontal, yeah. Very flattering, very
1:29:52
flattering. I didn't see what the problem
1:29:54
is. Yeah, as always, you
1:29:56
can't really make their faces out clearly, because
1:29:59
the hood's kind of a of school you can just kind of see
1:30:01
there like... That's
1:30:05
them, that's the witches. I'm gonna
1:30:08
make a bit of a fuss. Yes I know. They're the ones who
1:30:10
assaulted me. Yeah. Barnell, do you see them? I see
1:30:12
them. I see them. I do see
1:30:14
them Barnaby. The ones
1:30:17
in the scribey hoods. Yes. First of all,
1:30:19
it's very flattering. Yes. But don't let that
1:30:21
distract you. I know why we're here Barnaby.
1:30:25
See these witches burn and
1:30:27
to... Yes, before they can
1:30:29
pull any witchy stuff. Of
1:30:31
our little security enterprise. Exactly.
1:30:35
As they are loaded up they come to the
1:30:37
carriage, the glowing blue carriage, like
1:30:39
that, is the next one in the line. As
1:30:42
you have sort of organised the guards loading them
1:30:44
in, I guess like maybe
1:30:47
haven't been given the memo but why would
1:30:49
they? They sort of load Josie
1:30:53
into this and just put an arm
1:30:55
in front of Rosie. Wait did I say Josie? God this
1:30:57
is so hard. They
1:31:00
load Josie in, hold Rosie back. No
1:31:03
no no they need to be both in there. Have
1:31:05
you seen the ghost... Ghost feels. What can Barnaby
1:31:07
be? For pity's sake.
1:31:10
They're witches. Do you want to risk this? Surely
1:31:14
that all the carriages are secure.
1:31:17
And not secure enough for witches.
1:31:20
These common thieves, fine. Physical barriers
1:31:22
are fine but for witches we
1:31:24
need to make sure they're not
1:31:27
pulling any ghosty nonsense. Barnaby, if
1:31:29
we stop this now and
1:31:32
reload these carriages, it's going to put us
1:31:34
off schedule. Is that something you want? I'm
1:31:36
not saying reload, I'm saying just put them
1:31:38
both in the same bloody carriage. Make
1:31:41
me a roll fruit Barnaby. Don't
1:31:43
forget you can push yourself, you can
1:31:45
accept devil's bargains, you can do
1:31:48
all sorts of things. I'm on three stress, I guess
1:31:50
I should push myself, this feels important. Okay
1:31:56
I've got a five, a four
1:31:58
and two ones. Okay, for
1:32:02
pissy's sake. Stop! Darnell,
1:32:05
roar's out. Wait,
1:32:08
get out of that
1:32:10
one, put her in to the other one,
1:32:12
the one that just came, yeah, that blue one,
1:32:15
glowing one. How bloody
1:32:17
hard is it? Only one of them's glowing! Yeah.
1:32:21
Thank you, I feel much better. You have the kind
1:32:24
of carriages all kind of like stop awkwardly, some of the
1:32:26
goats just kind of like. Just
1:32:28
basically talking loads of the carriage in front of them. The
1:32:31
old miniature pile up. Yeah, it's got a
1:32:33
miniature slow motion pile up. It
1:32:35
is disorganized, but
1:32:38
Rosie is removed from the carriage that she had
1:32:41
been put in and put back in the one
1:32:43
with JC, which is the glowing one. The one
1:32:45
you want them both to be in together. Perfect,
1:32:48
now lock it up. Let's say that
1:32:51
this kind of slowdown is enough that
1:32:53
also one of the prisoners who hasn't
1:32:55
been loaded in yet uses the very
1:32:57
quite mild confusion, reckons this is
1:32:59
probably the best opportunity they're gonna get and makes a
1:33:01
run for the gates. We've got a runner! Wait
1:33:05
a knock part of me. They
1:33:09
don't get very far, the blue coats stop. It's
1:33:12
important to my disguise.
1:33:17
I appear to be a massive knock, so yeah. Yeah, that
1:33:19
is a point out of the runner. You are completely right.
1:33:22
Maybe against your better instincts, because after all, you
1:33:24
are a thief. Of course, but I
1:33:26
need to appear like a thief. Exactly.
1:33:30
Yeah, but the
1:33:33
illusion is maintained because this person is savagely
1:33:35
beaten and dragged back. However, it all puts
1:33:37
the whole thing off schedule.
1:33:40
And basically the consequences of
1:33:43
this Barnaby is that Darnell, the complication
1:33:45
if you like, Darnell has lost patience
1:33:47
with you. He's now officially annoyed that
1:33:50
this delay had to happen. Oh Darnell,
1:33:52
do calm down and I take another of my light
1:33:54
load and pass him a drink. Oh
1:33:57
yeah, we did a new. Fair mode. In
1:34:00
this town, I'm not drinking today Barnaby. This
1:34:02
is important. You have days when you don't
1:34:05
drink On days
1:34:07
when I'm working on days of my company's
1:34:09
reputation your companies reputation as well might I
1:34:11
remind you is on the line Fine
1:34:15
fine. I advise you to say so as
1:34:17
well in fact put it away. Give me
1:34:19
that drink. All right, pause it out
1:34:23
You have to like load left. I'm
1:34:25
guessing they're probably The procession, procession convoy
1:34:27
get underway As
1:34:35
it is and it
1:34:37
now starts to move its way through the through
1:34:40
the streets of Volus port
1:34:42
it is lined by The
1:34:44
citizenry who've all come out to kind of
1:34:47
witness these fancy carriages and just a year
1:34:49
they know that somewhere in here other
1:34:52
to condemned who have been taken to the
1:34:54
execution site and they are basically you know,
1:34:57
it's like The mob is
1:34:59
out in force basically. They are kept Well
1:35:02
in check by many blue coats,
1:35:04
you know mounted mounted guard either
1:35:06
side of the procession And
1:35:10
as you come up to the street where Lilith you are
1:35:12
you are hiding Seemingly from nowhere
1:35:14
falling in with this procession are
1:35:16
a group of spirit wardens They
1:35:19
are just kind of walking they They're
1:35:22
just kind of gliding ominously along as well.
1:35:24
So you now have Private
1:35:27
security you've got blue coats. You've got
1:35:29
spirit wardens here security
1:35:32
Could not be tighter or more intimidating. I guess Lilith
1:35:34
you're just kind of keeping pace with the you know,
1:35:36
kind of moving along I imagine you at the back
1:35:38
of the crowd Yeah,
1:35:40
yeah, you know on what happens all
1:35:43
of a sudden You both of you
1:35:45
hear a kind of Kind
1:35:47
of noise and the convoy Stops
1:35:51
grinds to a halt again goats just Push
1:35:56
into the into the carriages in front and
1:35:58
over the noise of the crowd you can hot hot
1:36:00
hot hot what?
1:36:02
it seems like there's a problem Barnaby
1:36:05
I don't know what this is you! what's
1:36:07
happening up there? it's
1:36:09
a problem with the first carriage something's gone
1:36:11
wrong with the wheels Barnaby
1:36:13
be on your guard alright those
1:36:16
wheels do not fail I
1:36:19
suspect foul play surely
1:36:23
not who could oppose the
1:36:25
true path of justice? unbelievable
1:36:30
true path of justice whatever I'm
1:36:32
just looking to get paid here Barnaby yeah me too
1:36:37
you keep pouring my drinks away you need to
1:36:39
get paid stay
1:36:41
sharp alright fine there's
1:36:43
you know kind of a murmurs through
1:36:45
the crowd of like what's going on is
1:36:48
there something wrong? blue
1:36:50
coats are looking shifty, people are you
1:36:53
know clearly being on their guard the spirit wardens
1:36:55
are just as always just staring impassively out but
1:36:57
they're now kind of scanning the crowd looking
1:37:00
for suspicious characters let's see if
1:37:02
they find Lilith they can
1:37:04
look at me after all Lilith
1:37:07
make me a roll to kind of stay out of the um
1:37:11
okay stay out of the limelight
1:37:13
if you like okay so prowl
1:37:16
I guess is it? yeah
1:37:19
ooh a five and a two, a five
1:37:23
okay yeah you
1:37:25
do manage to stay out of reach
1:37:29
however from your you know behind
1:37:31
a family who brought the kids out
1:37:33
to see an execution lovely
1:37:37
family day out yeah exactly you
1:37:39
do you see a blue coat hooked sort
1:37:41
of jogging back jogging
1:37:44
up to Darnell and just found
1:37:47
this sir um jammed
1:37:49
into a wheel of front carriage front
1:37:52
left uh yeah
1:37:55
clearly sabotage and passes that are kind
1:37:57
of now mangled and bent
1:38:00
elongated telescoping
1:38:02
spear kind of contraption.
1:38:07
Haven't they made their move? The
1:38:09
characters have stopped but what's
1:38:11
happening now? Nothing. Barnaby,
1:38:14
that's the first sensible thing you've said all day.
1:38:17
Possibly ever. You're
1:38:19
right. This is clearly
1:38:21
sabotage. Look at this. Man-made.
1:38:24
Placed in the wheels. Right. What's
1:38:27
this? It's got a stamp
1:38:29
on the bottom. Lumiere. No.
1:38:36
Is that a subsidiary of Astor Corporation or what?
1:38:38
I've never heard of it. We'll look
1:38:40
into that later. Right. Oh no. We just
1:38:42
need to get through today.
1:38:45
But you're right Barnaby. If
1:38:48
this is sabotage... It's
1:38:51
awfully quiet. Why is no one making
1:38:53
a move? Search
1:38:56
the carriages. I want the inside of
1:38:58
each carriage checked. Yes sir. Do
1:39:01
the coach run back? Should we
1:39:03
personally oversee the investigation? Don't
1:39:06
know. It feels like both of us. You know, you've got a keen
1:39:08
eye and I've not had
1:39:10
as much drink as I would have had if
1:39:12
you hadn't poured it away. So maybe we'll both
1:39:14
spot something. Yes Barnaby. And as I said, you've
1:39:17
been... since you stopped drinking recently... I've become
1:39:19
dangerously effective. You've become dangerously clever.
1:39:24
Okay, here's what's happening now. Big teams of blue
1:39:26
coats are doing this thing where they each need
1:39:28
two keys. And starting from the front most carriage,
1:39:30
they are opening each one, doing
1:39:33
a kind of breach and clear open,
1:39:36
checking that the prisoner is in there still, you
1:39:38
know, kind of bound and manacled. Someone is, you
1:39:41
know, kind of looking
1:39:44
around the inside of each carriage.
1:39:48
They don't know what they're looking for, but like
1:39:50
something weird is going on. Like
1:39:53
something's up. And
1:39:56
this group just basically starts moving down
1:39:59
the convoy one by one. one checking them and
1:40:01
they are approaching the glowing blue
1:40:04
carriage that contains Rosie and Josie.
1:40:07
Keep an eye on the blue coats just your
1:40:09
boys make sure they're not trying anything funny. Of
1:40:12
course. Right next
1:40:14
one to be checked this one open
1:40:17
it up lads two keys go in like
1:40:20
that they open the doors Rosie
1:40:24
and Josie are sat there they
1:40:28
look out at you Barnaby can they see you from here yeah
1:40:31
I'm inspecting the I'm
1:40:33
inspecting the carriages with Darnell so that you know we'll be positioned
1:40:36
such that we can see into the I'm assuming
1:40:38
they're doors on the rear like
1:40:40
a van yes that's not what I
1:40:42
was imagining but yes that makes more sense yes
1:40:44
well no actually no because the goats are smushed
1:40:46
up against them no the goats that the the
1:40:48
doors on the side the other side of the
1:40:51
carriage yeah well either way
1:40:53
I can see them they both
1:40:55
turn and just slowly look at
1:40:57
you Barnaby mm-hmm raise her eyes quizzically meanwhile
1:41:00
Lilith I do this
1:41:03
over in the crowd you
1:41:05
hear you hear a little voice next to you how's
1:41:08
it going Finn what
1:41:10
are you doing here oh
1:41:12
um they weren't
1:41:14
very nice to me they scared me so I left
1:41:19
they was muttering odd chance
1:41:21
and saying scary things about pulling ghosts
1:41:23
apart and so I thought being a
1:41:26
ghost I didn't want to get pulled
1:41:28
apart so I floated out the
1:41:30
bottom of the carriage and I came to find
1:41:32
you okay because I was scared okay
1:41:34
yes of course you may and then
1:41:36
give her a little hug I'm
1:41:40
like right I open my one my
1:41:42
spirit box I'm like do you wanna hop in there and
1:41:44
I'll keep you safe yeah I'm sorry I
1:41:47
didn't do the job very well and
1:41:49
I'm really sorry I didn't deliver the
1:41:51
message um okay they're
1:41:53
scary and it's up to them
1:41:56
do not have been scary so
1:41:58
fitting She's in.
1:42:00
Look into the gut and she's like... Okay,
1:42:02
what I would like to do then... Can I
1:42:04
see... Can I see any... Any... Like, can I
1:42:06
see Lillith at all? Am I like... I'm
1:42:09
probably looking around and going... ... potentially?
1:42:11
But Barnaby, what you have seen is
1:42:13
that Rosie and Josie are in this
1:42:16
carriage when you were sort of... ...
1:42:18
presumably... ... expecting, flash-dreading
1:42:20
that this door would open to
1:42:22
reveal... ... nobody. Yeah.
1:42:26
Right. Okay. Is
1:42:28
there something to do with you two? Why
1:42:30
have our carriages stopped? I
1:42:32
don't know. Honestly, if
1:42:34
this is some sort of plan to escape it's not going
1:42:37
very well, is it? Why don't we? My respect for you
1:42:39
has gone completely through the floor.
1:42:42
Completely through the
1:42:45
floor. Hahahaha!
1:42:56
Shut the door. I've had enough of these two. I
1:43:01
would... I would like... Okay, I'm
1:43:03
going to try something wild. I would like
1:43:05
to push myself and
1:43:07
cast Tempest. Okay.
1:43:10
Remind you what Tempest is. So,
1:43:12
Tempest, I can push myself to do one of the following. Unleash
1:43:14
a stroke of lightning as a weapon. Summon
1:43:16
a storm in your immediate vicinity. Torrential rain, roaring
1:43:18
winds, heavy fog, chilling
1:43:22
frost or snow, etc. So, I
1:43:24
would just like... So, I'd like to keep an eye
1:43:26
on where the carriage is. I'd like to keep an
1:43:28
eye on where the carriage is and I would just
1:43:30
like to cast a thick, heavy fog around
1:43:33
the carriage. And
1:43:36
then... like... try
1:43:40
and... run through,
1:43:43
get in the carriage myself while the
1:43:45
door is open. Stamp
1:43:48
twice and drag the two girls underneath the
1:43:50
ceiling and shut the door because...
1:43:53
Aaaah! I mean, yeah, there's gold
1:43:56
and there's bold. Yeah, I
1:43:58
would say roll for that. Push yourself. Let
1:44:00
me think of a devil's bargain probably Barnaby you want
1:44:02
to help Yeah, why is the
1:44:04
storm clouds gather? I'm just
1:44:06
gonna start screaming about witchcraft witchcraft. They're
1:44:09
doing this Any
1:44:11
noise There
1:44:14
might be more of them everyone look up they
1:44:16
might be on the on the rooftops Nice
1:44:19
nice nice. Okay, so
1:44:21
Barnaby if you do want to help by doing that
1:44:23
you do you have to do is take one stress
1:44:26
for the Situation
1:44:29
and if you can add
1:44:31
one D, so I'm doing
1:44:34
Finesse I'm gonna push myself. Yeah, let's
1:44:36
count the dice. So how many dice
1:44:38
have you got so far? You in
1:44:40
finesse to know guys. Yeah pushing myself
1:44:43
Potempo so I'm guessing that's another one
1:44:45
and helping up one for Barnaby on
1:44:48
Barnaby Okay, you want a devil's bargain
1:44:50
as well for five or you? Yeah,
1:44:55
go on If
1:45:00
a good bunny approach the Barnaby approach here Let's
1:45:05
say that if
1:45:07
this works Yeah, you're
1:45:09
going to be trapped in this tiny
1:45:12
space that is only designed for two
1:45:14
people. Yeah so squished
1:45:16
up with Rosie and Josie and They
1:45:19
are just gonna be able to
1:45:21
whisper at you Butter
1:45:23
at you and say things
1:45:26
to you and probably like
1:45:28
touch your hair Yeah
1:45:39
Yeah, and and just the
1:45:42
the act of doing that
1:45:45
is going to be It's
1:45:49
going to be let's say To stress
1:45:52
what stress you want now? I'm on
1:45:54
five. What about level one
1:45:56
harm touched hair? better
1:46:00
yeah you
1:46:03
will take I don't know what's your harm situation
1:46:05
at the moment nothing I've got nothing okay yeah
1:46:07
so you can add 1d to this but
1:46:10
the consequence if it works will be level
1:46:13
one harm touch with
1:46:15
muttering therapy
1:46:19
needed so
1:46:21
how many does you got now five it'll be five
1:46:23
so I'm gonna roll four and then wrong with one
1:46:26
more but I might not even have to okay okay
1:46:30
so I did
1:46:34
get a five in there okay great
1:46:37
all right so the five is
1:46:39
the highest result there okay okay
1:46:42
yeah you um yeah you
1:46:44
know what my hair is as well
1:46:46
my hair is
1:46:54
snakes yeah
1:46:59
they are yeah you um it's
1:47:01
the run of it's the run of your life it's it's it's incredible
1:47:04
summoning this fog even as it
1:47:07
starts to coalesce yeah you you
1:47:09
run you knee slide through
1:47:11
the legs of the first blue coat
1:47:14
and you yeah you kind
1:47:20
of whip around a few spirit wardens there
1:47:22
as well you you slide under
1:47:25
the carriage and just kind
1:47:27
of flip up the other side straight
1:47:29
directly into it just as the door
1:47:32
is closing because as soon as the
1:47:34
fog starts obviously they're like contain these
1:47:36
witches yeah and you you
1:47:38
you make it in Rosie and Josie are looking at
1:47:40
you very stunned it's
1:47:42
hard to ever read their expression
1:47:45
but like stunned stunned
1:47:47
would be your guess yeah and you just
1:47:50
don't that on the bottom of the floor and
1:47:53
it opens and you're just pulling them back just yanking
1:47:55
them just like getting by the scruff of their necks
1:48:02
Yeah, you both hit
1:48:04
the bottom of this
1:48:06
secret compartment and above
1:48:08
it just closes beneath
1:48:11
you. Have we got that front
1:48:13
carriage repaired yet? Come on. It's right.
1:48:16
We got a new wheel on, sir. Are we good to continue?
1:48:19
Let's move. We're behind schedule. Let's
1:48:21
move. Like Barney said, we're
1:48:24
behind schedule. Yeah,
1:48:28
the convoy starts
1:48:30
to grind forward again to a huge cheer from the
1:48:32
crowd. And it wends its
1:48:34
way towards
1:48:36
the square in Brightstone where as
1:48:39
you round the corner on your
1:48:41
horse, Barney, as your horse skittishly
1:48:46
rounds the corner, you see a huge
1:48:49
wooden, well, you
1:48:51
see a huge metal structure has
1:48:53
been built in the center of the square. And on
1:48:56
top of that is a huge wooden
1:48:58
pyre. And stood next to it is
1:49:00
you recognize Barney. Strangford. Yeah,
1:49:02
Strangford. It's Lord's, Lord's bloody
1:49:04
Strangford. No, that smug face anywhere. He's
1:49:07
tall. He, um... Smug.
1:49:10
He's very, he's very tall. He has
1:49:12
a... Also smug. He's, you know
1:49:14
what? I think tall and smug. Tall and
1:49:16
smug. And you get it. He's
1:49:18
resplendent in his Church of
1:49:20
Ecstasy finery in
1:49:23
his role as a judge. And
1:49:25
he is addressing the crowd saying something
1:49:28
along the lines of, the
1:49:31
church's punishment is divine,
1:49:33
it comes, from the gods
1:49:35
itself we are, but vessels.
1:49:37
And yet, and yet these
1:49:39
punishments can send a
1:49:42
message to those
1:49:44
who would disobey or aim
1:49:48
to stray from the path
1:49:51
that they had promised to keep. He
1:49:53
sort of labors that point. I guess that's like
1:49:55
the message he was hoping to... If I glance
1:49:57
up at the clock at the square. Yeah,
1:50:01
it is Five
1:50:03
minutes to noon which
1:50:06
is when the the burning is set to
1:50:08
happen flashback Yep,
1:50:10
okay I've spoken to
1:50:12
my financial advisor and instructed him to sell all
1:50:14
shares with the transaction going through at noon today
1:50:18
Security company Okay Okay,
1:50:21
brilliant. Yeah, that's tremendous. I love
1:50:23
it. Okay as the clock hits
1:50:26
noon and the People
1:50:28
are about you know The carriages are basically doing
1:50:30
that thing where some of them split off they
1:50:32
go onwards to other halfway houses and other other
1:50:34
things Then now only remains
1:50:36
the one carriage the kind of electrically blue
1:50:38
coated one Mm-hmm. It is, you know,
1:50:40
the mob is pressing in at this point, but it's kind
1:50:43
of a ring of blue coats
1:50:45
stand around it Darnell
1:50:47
himself. Yeah is Let
1:50:50
me open it. Give me one of the keys Barney. Do
1:50:52
you want the other? Sure
1:50:56
He gives you the key you both stand in
1:50:58
front of the locks. He looks at you and says you
1:51:00
and I we're gonna be Richer
1:51:03
an old Strangford up
1:51:05
there himself after
1:51:07
this you put your keys in the locks and
1:51:11
an aid runs up to Einhoek
1:51:16
and says Urgent
1:51:18
news from the market What
1:51:21
is it now? You see I'm very look up
1:51:23
at the clock It's
1:51:25
a It's just
1:51:27
don't Don't
1:51:30
just what did you want Barnaby? Did you want this
1:51:32
to happen? Moments after
1:51:34
the carriage is unloaded. Yeah, basically
1:51:37
Well, if they were due to be set on fire at
1:51:39
12, I suppose I would have set it up for 12 Yeah,
1:51:42
very literal. Yeah quite simple
1:51:44
man. That's your we are
1:51:46
slightly behind schedule Yeah Yeah,
1:51:51
dong dong dong and yeah the
1:51:54
whispers in Einhoek fear Darnell turns to
1:51:56
you Barney yes,
1:51:59
one of your tons of I believe
1:52:01
it's called a pump and dump.
1:52:03
I think that's what it's called also
1:52:10
Mean when you put it like that, yes Look
1:52:17
I had a bad feeling about this I've run in with
1:52:19
these these before I gave it our best shot But really
1:52:21
I'm out. I don't like it. I'm frightened by the whole
1:52:24
thing Handling witches
1:52:26
honestly, I mean done. He
1:52:28
managed to keep my head throughout the entire day Darnell
1:52:30
is red in the face at this point. You
1:52:33
could have worked you I'll
1:52:35
make you rule the day Barnaby and
1:52:38
besides when this comes off. It doesn't
1:52:40
matter I'll own more of a
1:52:42
company a very successful security firm And
1:52:44
he puts his key in the lock his aid sort of
1:52:47
takes the key out of your hands Barnaby And
1:52:49
puts it in this lady so happy to be part
1:52:51
of the scene I'm just gonna melt
1:52:53
in oh my not. I can't really melt on a
1:52:55
freaking horse. I'm gonna you're off the whole of the
1:52:58
way I think you're off the whole thing. Yeah, okay.
1:53:00
I'm gonna I'm gonna just I'm
1:53:02
just gonna melt into the crowd cool. Okay melt
1:53:05
into the crowd the doors opened you
1:53:08
pumped and dumped at just the wrong time And
1:53:13
he opens the door and Just
1:53:16
a faint squeak comes out of Darnell
1:53:22
From up on the fire over the roar of the
1:53:24
crowd you can hear Strangford saying Darnell
1:53:27
bring forth the
1:53:29
condemned that justice may be
1:53:31
meted out Darnell
1:53:34
kind of turns Wanna go
1:53:36
away to the crowd I shout yes justice
1:53:41
Trying to get a crowd's chance You
1:53:46
do not have to roll to get a
1:53:48
mob chant going at a volus port execution
1:53:58
Little premature perhaps but I take Take my final
1:54:00
drink from my light load. And
1:54:03
have a little self-satisfied sip. Darnell
1:54:08
turns around, he's looking
1:54:10
ashen and pale. He tries to shout
1:54:13
something to Lord Strangford, but he
1:54:15
can't be heard. Bluecoats
1:54:17
are closing in and gradually people
1:54:20
start to look in and words
1:54:22
start to filter out and it goes through
1:54:24
the crowd in a wave. Like,
1:54:27
they've gone. They're not there. Must
1:54:30
have escaped in the fog. Darnell
1:54:32
says to himself, although you can't hear it. Bloody
1:54:36
witches! What's
1:54:38
he about to do? He just
1:54:41
stumbles into the crowd, knowing
1:54:43
he's ruined. See
1:54:48
either, you're not gonna figure this one. Yeah,
1:54:51
she should probably have done... Should have done
1:54:53
it on a boat! Yeah. OK,
1:54:58
folks, Barnaby and Lilith, this
1:55:00
score has been so jam-packed full of clever
1:55:04
ideas that you're not gonna have
1:55:06
to roll for how
1:55:09
you exfil Rosie,
1:55:11
Josie and Lilith from... I'm
1:55:13
sure they haven't changed the locks on the warehouse yet,
1:55:15
I can probably get in there. Yeah, we
1:55:17
just need to know, how is it happening? How
1:55:20
are you getting this, how is this
1:55:22
carriage going? I mean, it's been so
1:55:24
expertly modified that they really can't tell
1:55:26
there's anything wrong with it. So they're
1:55:28
gonna return the carriages eventually to the
1:55:30
warehouse. And
1:55:33
as I mentioned earlier, their understanding
1:55:36
of witchcraft is such that they...
1:55:39
What is there to investigate? The door was open, there was
1:55:41
a cloud of fog, fog,
1:55:43
and basically fogged. It's
1:55:46
an open and shut case. Is
1:55:48
that the trap door? No. Yeah,
1:55:52
you're in there for hours, Lilith. Actually,
1:55:55
for hours. Rosie and
1:55:57
Josie are on either side of you with their faces just
1:55:59
like... actually smushed into yours. The
1:56:04
things you hear, the stories
1:56:07
they tell. I'm going
1:56:09
to need to see so many plays after this. You
1:56:13
will take many of those stories
1:56:16
to your grave. And
1:56:20
until then they will haunt you,
1:56:22
but you do eventually spill out
1:56:25
gunking for air onto the
1:56:28
floor of this thing. And
1:56:30
Rosie and Josie are
1:56:33
safe from execution. Brilliant work. Why
1:56:36
don't we smash cut you back
1:56:39
to Kelanor's mouldering safe house. I've
1:56:42
used some of the profits from my
1:56:45
pump and dump scheme to pay off the
1:56:47
tabaxi. Don't want to make an enemy of
1:56:49
that guy, he's extremely organised. Yeah,
1:56:52
let's say that pump and dump thing was genius.
1:56:54
Let's say it made you 5 coin,
1:56:57
which is huge. And then you gave 2 to
1:56:59
cast on the road? You didn't have
1:57:01
a problem before? With gang finances if
1:57:03
you remember? We did, yeah I was going to
1:57:05
say. There is no longer a problem with gang
1:57:07
finance. Perfect. And a little for Barnaby as well,
1:57:10
obviously. A couple of coins for gang
1:57:12
finances. At least a coin
1:57:14
for Barnaby for admin. Sure.
1:57:17
Yeah, find a fee. What?
1:57:20
Exactly. Transaction fees.
1:57:22
Yeah. Solicitous fees. There's very
1:57:24
little left for the gang by the time. By
1:57:28
the time it's all been... Catering. Entertainment.
1:57:31
Alright, so you're back with
1:57:33
Kelanor, who has embraced
1:57:36
Rosie and Josie. Sent them
1:57:38
skipping on their way. I
1:57:41
mean not skipping, but more just like... You're
1:57:43
really gliding. And
1:57:46
lingering looks at both of you. That
1:57:49
could be interpreted as gratitude,
1:57:52
or could be interpreted as a kind
1:57:54
of solemn vow to possess your soul
1:57:56
one day. Yeah, It's
1:57:59
hard to know. Going to ambiguously Super they
1:58:01
fly to I am. Do.
1:58:03
You have any more so stoked sweets?
1:58:05
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I disagree. Greens
1:58:08
movie as well. As
1:58:10
com Uma kind of when low on
1:58:12
vitamins. Ah, as the food and drink.
1:58:14
the green. Either
1:58:17
Rings Movies. And
1:58:20
wasn't a theory. They. Call yourself a
1:58:22
nutritionist lab at. Least
1:58:24
not even a licensed yoga instructors. Are you
1:58:27
on? The higher you have. Access
1:58:31
Sorry carry on. New York North side
1:58:33
of the bargain. It was his drain
1:58:35
water. I was hoping they would make
1:58:37
Interpol the alcove. It didn't. Work
1:58:40
out. Imagine the alcohol, sterilized it and
1:58:42
and from repair and the possible. Now
1:58:45
at Kelly. Kelly takes it and that
1:58:47
mixes it with that sort of weird
1:58:49
milky substances she had from. Before.
1:58:51
and just downs it all along with a
1:58:53
throat sweet that it from from you lilith.
1:58:57
Oh specific, The
1:58:59
acceptance. But.
1:59:03
The old try to ceiling much smoother. Thank
1:59:05
you. I
1:59:08
don't know how you did it for you help you held up your end
1:59:10
of the bargain. I
1:59:12
suppose us. All
1:59:15
that mine who. Well
1:59:17
done, By the way. I wasn't there,
1:59:19
but. I hear
1:59:22
that strength. It's true. a real
1:59:24
fit for the movement speed. did
1:59:26
is stupid smuggler and I can.
1:59:29
I. Couldn't see it, but he sounded
1:59:31
pretty angry. He was.
1:59:34
Face when you're right read which really
1:59:37
clashed with is that in a Vestments.
1:59:41
Such as girl's cursing for the cows
1:59:43
they are, You know. When I was
1:59:45
approached to join the brightness all as
1:59:47
he has ago, I was actually flattered.
1:59:50
You know, positions? They are
1:59:52
traditionally inherited. the i
1:59:54
money and job you as you
1:59:57
know as additional media outlets I
2:00:01
was, you know, I was the first new name that the
2:00:03
society had had on its books for
2:00:05
centuries. And that went well,
2:00:07
didn't it? Probably should just stick to inheritance and
2:00:09
old money. We know how to do things
2:00:11
right, I'm sorry, you know, it's just the way it is. People
2:00:15
need to be governed, you sound just like string fit.
2:00:18
Well, they wanted my expertise, so I guess... Yeah!
2:00:22
And Shag's had kind of a let's be fair. Carry
2:00:24
on. I suppose they had to put
2:00:26
aside their tradition list
2:00:29
quibbles because they wanted my expertise. Mmm.
2:00:32
With, well, you know, ghosts. I'm quite good
2:00:34
at ghosts. And
2:00:36
they got it. In a week I increased the
2:00:38
efficiency of their barricade. 20%! Interesting,
2:00:42
tell me more. About what?
2:00:44
About the barricade. Oh, the barricade?
2:00:46
You don't know what the barricade is? I
2:00:48
mean, I know what it is,
2:00:51
but how does it function? You're
2:00:53
at war with the group. And
2:00:55
you don't even know what the barricade is. Well,
2:00:57
just any information's useful. And
2:01:00
also, they've decided we're at war. We
2:01:03
consider it a disagreement. Yeah, we're just
2:01:05
like, hmm, don't like them. They're the
2:01:08
ones being unreasonable. Let me tell
2:01:10
you. Alright, well, the
2:01:12
barricade, as you perhaps
2:01:14
know, is a machine. Right.
2:01:18
Mmm-hmm. Did you know... Yes. Did
2:01:21
you know that the barricade
2:01:23
is a vast oscillotronic machine
2:01:25
that, when it spins, generates an immensely
2:01:27
powerful oscillotronic field. Makes
2:01:40
me much more powerful by
2:01:43
some of my tweaks
2:01:45
and additions. The
2:01:48
ghost field that surrounds Volus Port
2:01:50
works on the same principle, but this
2:01:53
is of another scale entirely. You...
2:01:57
I hope you get to see it one day. It is... The
2:02:00
really beautiful, Views
2:02:02
I terrible, Everything Beautiful Terrible
2:02:04
with you. Hate them to
2:02:06
bail out, but it's a
2:02:08
great way to live the
2:02:10
rest of it. Gives
2:02:14
you know where it is.
2:02:16
Guess it's the mountain right?
2:02:19
Some. Mountain Valley. On
2:02:22
the spur of the railway. Yes,
2:02:26
Cause. How did you find that out? Now you
2:02:28
know I have my contacts and it was all
2:02:30
me read You know? That
2:02:33
that isn't it I me
2:02:35
as I recall. yeah. The
2:02:38
location of the barricade. to say most closely
2:02:40
guarded secrets if you found that out, The.
2:02:44
All my I did the up they may be.
2:02:47
Stepping things up in, you
2:02:49
know, escalating from observation to
2:02:51
they don't know unless you're
2:02:53
going to tell him and
2:02:55
you're not going to tell
2:02:57
you. If you're
2:02:59
so they don't know. I'm not. I
2:03:01
still the know nothing to talk to them again.
2:03:05
Yes, It's it. At
2:03:07
the end of this railway spur,
2:03:10
deep in the mountains, there's a
2:03:12
natural rock passageway their that leads
2:03:14
between this world and the next.
2:03:16
I wanted to walk through it,
2:03:18
but some. They wouldn't
2:03:21
let. Some. Right?
2:03:23
right? in the past, unreturned spirits
2:03:25
are dead one load. Do it?
2:03:27
You this? This either? This sounds
2:03:29
good to have it. Now has
2:03:31
any. Ass from to find out
2:03:33
what I suspect he talks about the
2:03:36
veil for another as I say that.
2:03:39
I'm. Spirits.
2:03:41
Of The Dead. Wood flow
2:03:43
and. Magic.
2:03:47
She says the word like as a capital
2:03:49
m who. Would. Flow out
2:03:51
until erasmus as to have.
2:03:54
You. Know you've heard of him. Yes
2:03:56
And breakfast. The guy who actually
2:03:58
slightly what we've been. hundreds of
2:04:00
years. Oh, the other one. I get my assholes
2:04:02
mixed up. Yeah, they were pretty similar. Basically the
2:04:05
same. He
2:04:07
discovered this passageway.
2:04:11
He built the barricade over it. It
2:04:14
worked immediately. Ellie would say
2:04:17
catastrophically because it brought
2:04:19
about the ghost calamity. She
2:04:22
always was a great believer in the natural order,
2:04:24
the coward. The
2:04:27
brightness. They maintain,
2:04:30
they oversee the
2:04:32
running of the barricade. They maintain the
2:04:34
secrecy surrounding it. They're not interested at all
2:04:37
in finding out what it could really do. What
2:04:39
it could really do. She talks about the
2:04:41
veil for another 15 or 20 minutes. They
2:04:45
maintain secrecy, and this is key,
2:04:47
so that the
2:04:49
ghost calamity that has struck all of
2:04:51
Geth is believed to be an unavoidable
2:04:54
natural disaster. I don't know if either of
2:04:56
you went to school. It's not
2:04:58
a given here, but I
2:05:00
went to school, but I mainly paid polo.
2:05:02
Right. Well, so if you had done a
2:05:04
history class, that's what they would have told
2:05:06
you. The ghost calamity was a natural disaster.
2:05:10
They maintain that lie. All
2:05:12
they are is caretakers. When I was
2:05:15
recruited, I thought I'd found myself among
2:05:17
like-minded individuals, but they see
2:05:19
ghosts as fuel for
2:05:21
oscillotronic society and nothing
2:05:23
more. She talks about piercing the veil
2:05:25
for another 15 minutes.
2:05:29
It is the means to peer into
2:05:31
the great beyond and embrace its mysteries
2:05:33
and, yes, its horrors, but also its
2:05:35
beauties. Horrors,
2:05:38
beauties, guilty. When the
2:05:40
brightness approached me, I knew Ellie
2:05:42
would never understand so. I
2:05:46
drove a wedge between us. But
2:05:49
to be honest, I
2:05:52
miss her. How is she? Well,
2:05:54
you should get together. She's well. Very well.
2:05:56
Yeah. You should get together, have a drink
2:05:58
sometime. You know. Meet
2:06:00
for breakfast, why not? Do
2:06:03
you think she would, after all
2:06:05
this time? She might be persuaded, since your
2:06:07
change of heart. Well
2:06:10
then maybe I... She's cut off
2:06:13
mid-conversation by a sort of like banging
2:06:17
noise from downstairs in this
2:06:19
house. She
2:06:21
stands up, bolt upright, and
2:06:25
the door behind you to bursts
2:06:28
open, and in
2:06:30
stride... ...six.
2:06:35
Red sashes. Barnaby, you've encountered
2:06:38
the red sashes before. They
2:06:40
are an extremely accomplished, deadly
2:06:43
and ruthless, Casimir absolutely
2:06:45
can't stand them. A mercenary
2:06:48
group for hire. Zilla
2:06:51
and Casimir may
2:06:53
have hinted to you before that
2:06:56
it appears the Brightners may have enlisted
2:06:58
their help. They
2:07:01
may have answered it, I may not have been listening. They
2:07:04
stride into this room. They
2:07:06
all have large, deadly looking
2:07:08
swords, and they
2:07:10
all draw them, all six of them,
2:07:14
an advance. I knew we should have wrapped this
2:07:16
conversation up partway through the second 20 minutes of
2:07:18
the veil. If
2:07:20
only there was a bit less piercing the veil chat.
2:07:22
We'd have been happy if... Kaeli and Orr actually sort
2:07:24
of pushes in front of you both and kind of
2:07:27
like guards you and says, Stay
2:07:29
back. Stay back. They
2:07:32
continue advancing.
2:07:35
Okay. I would like to
2:07:39
perform a ritual. Okay.
2:07:44
So ritual, with respect to studying occult
2:07:46
ritual, or create a new one to
2:07:48
summon a supernatural effect or being, you
2:07:51
know, the arcane methods to perform rituals,
2:07:54
sorcery, you begin with one
2:07:56
ritual already learned. Okay. And
2:07:59
basically from one... White Beard is
2:08:01
with Kazmir a net the
2:08:04
train yard. Where.
2:08:06
I. Saw the Go Split
2:08:08

the next world. I kind of study that.
2:08:13
A batholiths day yet of a refill. I

2:08:19
All right for the hi guys. I had
2:08:22
said kelly and or be like what's basis
2:08:24
that you're like this I'd just be like.
2:08:28
Sad. Sad. As. If I
2:08:30
have to listen this subtle know. If
2:08:32
to an opening.
2:08:35
And. Then something. Starts pouring out.
2:08:37
you're trying to bring a bestseller through
2:08:39
okay, Graham by midday there, because then
2:08:41
I can I can play up again

2:09:22
list and says. Trying.

going to die then. Happens
2:13:10
to me a lot actually. It seems that... They
2:13:13
have struck. And
2:13:15
if I know the brightness, and I do,
2:13:17
they wouldn't just strike at us. They
2:13:20
would strike simultaneously at everyone. I
2:13:25
don't know how to tell you this. You
2:13:28
may be the last two remaining hobby horses. No!
2:13:32
Well, you know, if it's going to be any
2:13:34
of us, I'm glad it's me. Cool.
2:13:42
It is fine, we're not dead. They're probably,
2:13:44
I've done some nonsense, aren't they? Usual
2:13:46
tricks. I'm
2:13:50
going to end
2:13:52
this by running out the door,
2:13:55
because, you know, if they have
2:13:57
been killed, I at
2:13:59
least want to... Catch the spirit to
2:14:01
fool the most by to stir it
2:14:03

2:14:06
Lilith running out into the street with

any for who plays guide it is.
2:15:25
Dusk. Philosophical. That's it
2:15:27
now. I. Until.
2:15:30
Until kind of recording just like twenty
2:15:32
thirty minutes ago I saw the dimmest
2:15:34
is what word invention of late because
2:15:37
I t have not read all the
2:15:39
law and and you and for me
2:15:41
that they are in fact not and
2:15:43
they are in fact canonical place in
2:15:45
the. Yeah, no one of the canonical Blaze and
2:15:47
the Dog Saxons I think like how you interpret
2:15:49
the demo systems. Is sort
2:15:51
of up to the stories. however there are certain establish things
2:15:54
like they are. So. Housebound releases
2:15:56
am. I.
2:15:59
And I. Think they tend to pair up.
2:16:01
I think this of of rhyming name's is
2:16:03
an invention of lake was I think it's
2:16:05
a nice touch. an extremely. Nice touch. I
2:16:08
think that's that's what gave me the
2:16:10
sense that this is a leak invention
2:16:12
because the idea of having rhyming pairs
2:16:14
of little dolls. A is so cute
2:16:16
and adorable. And and Lucas, I've actually
2:16:19
found the page on the dimmest as
2:16:21
in the blades in the.thousand Eight Aids.
2:16:24
So. I will read
2:16:26
you from execs. The. Precise
2:16:28
number of sisters is unknown. Some say they
2:16:30
are an ancient family of possessing spirits. Other
2:16:32
say they are vampires. Everyone knows that if
2:16:34
you go into that has he never come
2:16:36
ass again sites. I like that that they
2:16:38
I'm serious enough. That isn't kind of the
2:16:41
what you. Like with them in
2:16:43
your particular game so maybe like the pair
2:16:45
of thing is I'm early convinces or which
2:16:47
is to. Ah,
2:16:50
Could. Be could well be as has notable
2:16:52
asset Surprise Electric Plus make. A generator,
2:16:55
lightning barriers and spirit

2:17:01
contain vessels in our time at the dimmest
2:17:03

2:17:05
in my mind, a real kind of Edward

Gorey vibe. like some. Sort
2:17:10
of oh Victoria Cross hats.
2:17:14
Drawings. I'm. Just
2:17:16

2:17:41
there are some and Pcc to ease
2:17:43

2:19:03
More thoughts in the dimmest This. Gap
2:19:06
of the Hour of Easy video appears
2:19:08
on looking at some. Some. The
2:19:10
comments here, doesn't babies? seventeen sixteen
2:19:12
rises seems highly appropriate to Mrs.
2:19:14
Deserve at odds with the brightness
2:19:17
I'd never made fascination with over.
2:19:19
Yeah, nice, nice. Extremely goods
2:19:21
of there was a taxi in this
2:19:23
there in this episode as well which
2:19:25
was that was interesting and I notice
2:19:27
on the indy law isn't an. Answer
2:19:30
Scott mail I want as I absolutely
2:19:32
love how immediately invested leave got into
2:19:34
cars on the road. Who. It was
2:19:36
the name of the ass of acrobats. The
2:19:38
yes oh yeah have a very nice some
2:19:40
inclusion that. And Dad a bit of
2:19:42
Barnaby description here from Savvy Thirteen Thirteen He says you
2:19:45
know that's where the media when a master criminal get
2:19:47
the chance to a the heroes in it becomes of
2:19:49
hand. They could have been an upstanding citizen if they've
2:19:51
just been born into a better situation. I love the
2:19:53
Barnaby is the exact opposite. A supposed upstanding citizen gets
2:19:56
the chance to a to criminal gang in it becomes
2:19:58
apparent they could have been a master Chris. criminal if
2:20:00
they've just been born in a worse situation. Yeah,
2:20:03
I think they absolutely nailed it.
2:20:06
The Barnaby Vyva. Good job. And
2:20:09
these are all comments that you can
2:20:11
see along with the original video published
2:20:13
over a year ago at youtube.com/outside extra
2:20:15
if you go to outside extra. And
2:20:20
yeah, look for Blades in the Dark I guess.
2:20:22
This is, as mentioned last week, one of those
2:20:24
funny situations where actually this is the Oxford adventure
2:20:26
podcast and we consider Blades in the Dark part
2:20:28
of the overall Oxford adventure canon.
2:20:31
But for historical reasons, it still exists
2:20:33
on one of our video game channels,
2:20:35
which is youtube.com/outside extra. But all our
2:20:37
future Oxford adventure videos will
2:20:39
be at youtube.com/Oxford. And in fact, that's where
2:20:41
all our D&D is. So you should
2:20:44
go check that out. You can check it out.
2:20:46
You can check out Oxford D&D. You can check
2:20:48
out my Deadlands season for IDMs. That's
2:20:51
all over there on Oxford. Yeah. But
2:20:53
Blades in the Dark, that's outside extra.
2:20:55
If you want to see us wearing black and looking
2:20:58
like a bunch of ghosts, then you got to go
2:21:00
there. Yeah, exactly. Now,
2:21:02
next week we've
2:21:04
got a doozy for you. This is Oxford
2:21:06
adventure Blades in the Dark Foundry number
2:21:08
12, which is season two, episode eight.
2:21:11
And it's me, Johnny, Andy and
2:21:13
Storyteller Luke. And I have
2:21:16
extremely fond memories of some extremely high
2:21:18
times in this episode. Yeah,
2:21:20
it's it's a good one. A lot of dramatic
2:21:22
tension. I just restrained it.
2:21:24
And Andy, you're drinking a, I
2:21:26
assume, an in character bottle of iron brew
2:21:29
in the video.
2:21:32
Oh, wow. OK, I pause it at 51
2:21:35
minutes 50 and you're taking a swig from
2:21:37
a big orange bottle of iron brew
2:21:39
extra. So you must have needed the
2:21:41
quick energy. Sorry to
2:21:43
have broken immersion with my anachronistic choice
2:21:45
of drink. Who says it's anachronistic? You
2:21:48
might have just invented it. Yeah. OK.
2:21:51
That's what Edvard invented. It's made out of iron. It's
2:21:53
a brew. It could have
2:21:55
existed. I bet we shot it in like
2:21:58
mid late August. You
2:22:01
just had to have an ice cold bottle of iron
2:22:03
brew. You need the refreshing Scottish taste
2:22:05
of iron brew. Well, if you tune
2:22:07
in next week to the podcast, maybe you'll be
2:22:09
able to hear the moment at which Andy
2:22:12
is drinking from your bottle of iron. I assumed the editor would
2:22:14
not leave in the shot when I was swigging from
2:22:16
a bottle of iron brew. Well, I'm afraid it still
2:22:18
exists. If you do it quietly, though. It's my Scottish
2:22:20
ancestry, Jane. I have to drink iron brew. I
2:22:23
know. I know. It's no disrespect
2:22:25
intended. I suspect if you listen
2:22:27
to next week's episode, you will not you
2:22:30
will not know when Andy is drinking
2:22:32
from the iron brew bottle. Except
2:22:35
I sing the iron brew jingle. You
2:22:38
do gargle. Yeah. Your
2:22:40
first tea too. Yeah. Every time
2:22:42
I drink it. Oh my God. Sorry. I just
2:22:44
switched tabs and I've still got the Aaron Taylor
2:22:47
Johnson Calvin Klein pictures up. Oh,
2:22:49
did you? Why did you need those
2:22:51
pictures? Oh, I was just checking which brand it
2:22:53
was. I knew he did underwear modeling. I was
2:22:55
just checking which brand it was. And now I've
2:22:58
got a whole screen of image
2:23:00
results that I was
2:23:02
not prepared to accidentally have into. We
2:23:04
had a meeting. Let me replace it with some Jeremy
2:23:06
Allen white. Yeah, you do that. Well, we had a
2:23:08
meeting yesterday and I brought my laptop,
2:23:10
which is not actually my current like
2:23:13
main work platform. I just
2:23:15
use it for mobile work, you know, when I need
2:23:17
to go and do a meeting somewhere. And
2:23:19
I have an extremely bad habit of like
2:23:21
not really using the desktop as intended. I,
2:23:24
you know, a place to put your current documents
2:23:26
and things that you need to quickly refer to. I
2:23:29
never ever use the desktop. I only have a search
2:23:31
for files. I know where files are. And
2:23:34
as a result, everything I save, I
2:23:37
just stick on my desktop because why
2:23:39
not? I guess I'm contradicting myself right
2:23:41
now. But anyway, the upshot of this is that
2:23:43
I have a desktop full of icons and they
2:23:45
are all four or five icons deep. It's
2:23:48
so upsetting. I
2:23:51
want you to really try
2:23:53
and imagine this. Every square
2:23:55
of Jane's desktop Has an
2:23:57
icon in it and all of those icons are like.
2:24:00
Speed Five the it's yeah. One.
2:24:02
Of the more distressing things I seen
2:24:04
recently. I. It's as like
2:24:06
physically stress me out. A look at it I'm
2:24:08
looking at it may help. Them
2:24:12
And that's how do you live like this? listing. Incident
2:24:14
that devoid of madness. Assessing.
2:24:18
I guess I just never, ever disease. Did anything
2:24:20
these ideas? I says I
2:24:23
suppose it's because I don't use folders to organize
2:24:25
my things. I just remember what every file name
2:24:27
is and then search for that fun. It's
2:24:29
a perfect system. And
2:24:32
distress. I take a screenshot of it, but
2:24:34
I'm too ashamed, save. With
2:24:37
this. Wow. Well.
