When. Entering a New Year, it's important

0:03

for me to not as make it

0:05

all about setting lofty resolutions. I also

0:07

like to just be curious about what

0:09

is and isn't working in my life

0:11

and think about creative problem solving. Approaching

0:13

challenges like they're a puzzle to solve

0:15

often makes them less daunting and also

0:17

gives me space to think outside the

0:20

box. That curiosity is also why I'm

0:22

so drawn to creative and fun problem

0:24

solving games like June's Journey in Journey.

0:26

You play as the elegant June Parker

0:28

as she embarks on a quest to

0:30

solve her. Sisters Murder and uncover families many

0:32

secrets. The game is set in the Roaring

0:34

Twenties and you get to put your detective

0:37

skills to the test as you go through

0:39

chapters of hidden objects. Seems the more objects

0:41

you find, the more secrets you discover. Jews

0:43

Journey is definitely a game I feel actively

0:45

involved in while I'm playing and I just

0:47

think it's so fun to move through the

0:49

levels to solve this case and reveal secrets.

0:51

Like I said, the New Year is all

0:53

about creative problem solving For me at Plus,

0:55

I get a bit of my a competitive

0:57

energy out by racing against the clock and

1:00

the story of the game. Itself is

1:02

so interesting, so can you crack

we find our current. This

will present it's. Has to close

Concept Subterranean. And it's built

4:30

in a school. Surrounding the building there

is a twenty foot high for supplied

4:55

cells themselves are either and. sorry

4:57

light or there and test. And

5:00

the so it's and the cells that are in the

5:02

subterranean level all. Towards those

5:04

prisoners who need high security.

5:08

The prisoners patrol by a series of

5:10

martial i magically inclined gods, and the

5:12

prison itself contains between about swings he

5:14

says prisoners on any given time mostly

or that kinda stuff. And within

the present there are three classes of prisoner

as cluster A which. Increase robbery and

fraud which most of the people here

5:27

for says cost say which includes. Accidental

murder once and fiscal harm and

of those guys and then finally

costs one murder with intent, necromancy,

5:38

and.level shit. says. Basically the breakdown

5:41

of the three different classes. Here and most

5:43

of the prisoners will be wearing sandals

5:45

still have long sought by trousers know

5:47

belts just a single button. They have

5:49

light brown shirts with a high class

5:51

and either long or. Short sleeves,

5:53

some. Every one is wearing

5:56

an anti magic anklet. answer

5:58

so that ecologists frantically chuck eyeballs

6:00

at one another within a prison because that's probably a

6:02

pretty bad idea. We are going

6:04

to start by focusing on a guard

6:06

named Caden. He is human,

6:08

he's got a massive dark curly hair and he

6:10

has a dark beard. He's in his late twenties.

6:14

You guys within your cells individually you

6:16

see the sun beginning to come through

6:18

the bars. All

6:21

three of you are located on the subterranean levels

6:23

and the light comes in at the very top of

6:26

your cell. You only have a very small amount of light

6:28

letting you know that it's in fact small. Caden

6:31

goes outside of Sultana's

6:34

cell and he bangs on the

6:36

door and do you want to tell

6:39

us what Sultana looks like? She

6:41

is a dwarf.

6:44

She is a

6:47

little bit, I think she's

6:49

about average height for a dwarf. She's got dark

6:52

brown hair, she's

6:54

tan, she's buff,

6:58

she's snarly, she's got a cool

7:00

eyebrow ring. She

7:03

looks like someone you wouldn't want to mess with. Importantly

7:07

does Sultana have short sleeves or long

7:09

sleeves? She is wearing long

7:11

sleeves. Sultana is wearing the long sleeves.

7:15

Caden wraps on your bars. It's about this time in the

7:17

morning in which you get let out to go have

7:19

breakfast, to wonder about the arb as such.

7:23

You hear the keys rattling and you see

7:25

the cell door open. You see the young

7:27

man standing there with a... just standing

7:29

in front of you, just looking at you, giving you a smile and he

7:31

says, morning Sultana.

7:34

Morning Caden.

7:36

Another beautiful day at

7:39

four somewhere. It's certainly

7:41

very nice out there. I

7:44

thought I'd let you guys out the

7:46

first today. It's

7:48

going to be one of those days

7:50

I feel. Lyndon is on the wall

7:53

path, so just be careful. Try

7:55

and stay out of trouble. Well,

7:57

you know me, me in trouble. best

8:01

friends. Take

8:04

it easy. There's a new girl

8:06

in breakfast. There's

8:08

a new girl in the

8:10

kitchen stuff? Yeah, yeah. She's

8:14

a bit of a quiet meek thing. I don't know how

8:16

long she'll last, but give her a chance. All

8:22

right. Only because you said so and she like

8:24

wakes up him. He

8:27

stands to one side and she lets you out.

8:30

And then as soon as you're out here, he closes

8:32

the cell, but he doesn't look at you guys. Pretty much free

8:34

to come and go. There were plenty of gods

8:36

about, as you can see this morning. Where are you

8:38

heading to? That's

8:41

right early in the morning, right? So pretty

8:44

much first thing. It's breakfast call. Breakfast.

8:49

Cool. Essentially, you'll be heading yourself

8:51

up towards the open area and up towards where the

8:53

kitchen staff are serving. But we're

8:55

going to stay with Caden as he moves on to

8:58

the cell adjacent to yours.

9:00

And we come across Roljak. Would you like to

9:03

tell us what Roljak looks like? Roljak

9:06

is a tall black

9:08

dragonborn. He has his lower

9:12

jaw from his mouth down

9:14

and some into his neck as a red color.

9:18

He is tall, but he's not

9:20

very muscular like you imagine a

9:22

dragonborn would be. He has very

9:24

broad bone structure.

9:27

Like you imagine that he could be a

9:29

very large person, but he's not.

9:31

He's just kind of athletic. He

9:34

doesn't have the pants. He has wrappings around

9:37

his legs, but he

9:39

is wearing the usual prison

9:41

shirt. So

9:43

you're wearing the long sleeves or the short sleeves?

9:47

Short sleeves. As

9:49

he opens up your cell,

9:52

he looks you up and down and

9:54

you realize he gives you a bit

9:56

of a frown as he looks at your

9:58

shirt, especially around the They

10:00

on the color line and he distributor.

10:02

Found that he says you tube or ruins

10:04

another one that lanes and not not going

10:07

to be happy. And

10:09

as she looked down you can

10:11

say that they're that up. Your

10:13

shirt is kind of. it's ruins

10:15

parsley like torn apart and afraid.

10:18

Of. And and doesn't have to give me another when. He

10:22

entered into a know what he. He's

10:24

like. He's he. He's on the rampage.

10:26

Fitting can hide behind another Today I'd

10:28

I'd I'd recommend that. Thanks

10:32

10:34

11:46

On. His forehead there is a

11:48

faded black tattoo of foreign covered

sleeves a prisoner garb. Ah,

12:02

18:00

temple and I can always try and

18:02

bring you food if need be. Nice

18:06

to have met you. And she

18:08

pulls the bowl out and begins to

18:10

serve the next person in line who is

18:12

a another dwarf.

18:15

He's got a very short hair, doesn't

18:17

have a beard, has a tattoo of

18:19

a skull and a couple of dice

18:21

eyes just on the side of

18:23

his cheek. So

18:26

what do you guys want to do? Royal check

18:28

hasn't got any breakfast. I'm just throwing it out there. Just

18:31

bear that in mind. Balance

18:34

is definitely going to go to the temple since

18:36

he knows that's probably the only place where he'll

18:38

get some peace. Yeah. As

18:40

you make your way, it's almost in the

18:42

opposite corner to where the breakfast bar slash

18:45

food handing out areas. You

18:48

pass quite a, you know, quite a group of them. You can

18:50

see that as you're walking away over there over to one side,

18:53

you can see a group clearly of

18:55

the double ones already beginning to build

18:57

up this morning. Essentially anyone who has

18:59

the tattoo of that, of

19:02

the skull and the dice. And

19:04

you can see that elsewhere, there's a couple of groups of elves

19:07

clumping together and like, they're only

19:09

two humans here. They

19:11

seem to be, you know, they seem to be bonding together,

19:13

sort of in the middle, doing training and such like.

19:16

But you make your way over to the temple.

19:18

The temple is shaded slightly within this area. And

19:21

there's a couple of, a couple of pews. Not many

19:23

people tend to sit over here because religion

19:26

is slightly sacrosanct. I

19:28

mean, it's the one thing that most of them don't mess with.

19:31

And as you come over there, you see that there is sitting

19:33

lying. What are you doing, Rauchak? I'm

19:36

going to wait until everyone else

19:38

like goes through the food lane.

19:41

Okay. Cause I kind of want to go during

19:43

a more isolated time where everyone else is kind

19:46

of situated. Um,

19:49

but I'm just going to be kind of sitting

19:51

watching. Okay. And waiting

19:53

for that opportunity. Yeah,

19:55

no problem. Um, and Ziltana, what

19:57

are you up to right now? Just so I can keep in mind wherever.

20:00

everyone is. She's

20:02

just gonna go sit somewhere by herself.

20:05

She doesn't really want to deal with anybody, but I don't think she'd

20:07

go and eat in the temple. I feel

20:09

like she'd eye the temple,

20:13

but she'd see there were people in there and she'd be

20:15

like, I really don't

20:17

want to have to be too

20:19

close to other people who are in the

20:21

temple. Okay. All

20:23

right. So welcome

20:25

the temple. Currently

20:28

it's just yourself and... fuck

20:33

is your name? Balance, Balance. It's

20:39

really off-putting because normally I have like little tags

20:41

around my screen telling me who everyone is, but

20:43

I've got no picture of you guys. It's really

20:45

difficult. So

20:48

yeah, at the moment, it's just Balance and Rojak in

20:50

the temple. Okay. I

20:54

sit some more. Balance

20:57

walking into the temple, looks

21:00

around, finds

21:02

a just an empty

21:04

pew and sits down. It's

21:07

just me and the mysterious

21:09

dragonborn. Balance

21:12

is going to have like a few spoonfuls of

21:15

the gruel. And then

21:18

just kind of looking around thinking about Caden being

21:20

like, yeah, you should probably go make friends. Balance

21:22

is going to be like, mm. Fuck

21:25

that. You

21:27

there? What

21:30

is your name? Roj kind

21:32

of looks around as if there's someone else

21:34

in the temple, maybe. I'm

21:38

sorry, did I disturb you? Were you

21:40

praying? No, you are

21:42

talking to me. Well,

21:45

yes, it's just you and me in here. And

21:48

my name is Raul Ralashak.

21:52

Who the fuck are you? My

21:55

name is Balance.

22:00

The fuck kind of a name is balance. Balance

22:05

like pauses and purses lips trying

22:07

really hard not to just laugh

22:09

out. Hahahaha It

22:13

is a name regardless

22:15

of what you may think of it.

22:18

Have you not had your breakfast? Is that...

22:22

Are you hangry? He

22:24

kind of looks back over to the lunch line.

22:27

At this point you probably got

22:29

like... Probably

22:31

about five or six people but you reckon that's like

22:34

having looking around in the yard. You can

22:36

probably see about 20-25 people so it's probably the

22:38

last lot going through now. Okay.

22:42

Speaking of which I should

22:45

take care of that. We

22:48

can address what it is

22:50

that you are talking to me for. When

22:53

I get back I'll be right back. And

22:55

he kind of hurriedly makes

22:59

his way over there. He clearly

23:01

doesn't want to miss the lunch line. Hahaha.

23:05

Okay cool. Sultana.

23:09

Are you just trying to find somewhere quiet to

23:11

sit down? At

23:13

the moment you kind of have like a

23:15

gang sort of like spread out all over the place. There's

23:18

not many quiet places to sit on your own. If

23:21

there's not a lot of quiet places to sit on my

23:24

own I probably would go to the temple actually. Probably

23:27

the quietest place other than the temple

23:29

would probably be... Probably

23:34

between the temple and the

23:36

kind of like serving area.

23:39

In the sense that you've got like the two humans

23:41

who are sort of like just training and sparring a

23:43

little bit. Throwing

23:47

odd bits at each other sort of a bit like cats and such a

23:49

thing. And there's a couple of

23:51

benches sitting near to those. There are

23:53

a couple of other people on there but

23:56

seeing that you are who you are they kind of scoot

23:58

over a little bit should you wish to go. sit

24:00

there and wait

24:02

but the humans are playing catch right yeah

24:07

what if they like throw the ball and they

24:09

hit me in the face well if I want

24:12

then you will take damage she wouldn't

24:14

go into the temple but she would go like that

24:16

lead on

24:21

the temple yeah you could definitely sit on the

24:24

floor at the edge of the temple area that's

24:26

not a problem but it is like a shaded

24:28

area there's kind of a little

24:31

bit of an awning over the top sort

24:33

of so you could

24:35

definitely go sit like near there but

24:37

there would be no seats if you just sit on it would be it would be

24:40

the earth I'm afraid yeah she'd go sit

24:42

on the ground by the temple okay

24:44

you you can sit down and have have your

24:46

breakfast delicious delicious

24:50

it's a group the

24:52

both of you that had the gruel this morning it

24:56

tastes much better than

24:58

it normally does it's not

25:00

quite so watery it's almost I think

25:02

the new lady has put some cinnamon

25:04

in here how wonderful absolutely

25:07

25:10

25:14

25:20

25:24

to the end of the line I assume you're trying to

25:26

tack yourself on the very end yeah he's gonna

25:28

like keep his head down and slunch like

25:31

slouch over a little bit and

25:33

try to make himself as

25:35

unintimidating as possible kind

25:38

of keeping his eyes down listening

25:41

28:47

Almost. Edible girls.

28:52

I'm gonna go back to the Temple. Okay,

28:56

As you go back towards the temple. On

28:58

across a dwarf that she recognized very

29:02

29:21

pretty much every single day.

inside go back towards the temple you

29:30

29:33

I'm not gonna be about the bush t the

29:35

big guy but none of his muscle and he

29:37

steps out in front of you. A

29:41

saucy somewhat shorter than he and he looks

29:43

up at he misses. Right

29:45

track and born. You know how the schools.

29:49

30:09

go went back to the uh went

30:11

to the infirmary he's not been out since now me

30:13

and my lads and I think tips his head a

30:15

little bit you see that the

30:17

rest of the double ones have essentially almost

30:19

circled you there's probably about four of them

30:22

around you including 50

30:26

no we can either do this the really

30:28

easy way or we can do this the

30:30

really hard way now I am I'm looking

30:32

for a fight lad oh

30:36

that is good always

30:38

good to hear yes

30:41

so you can my hand it over or yeah

30:45

he starts eating as

30:51

you start eating grip

30:54

hook just like nods his head a little bit and

30:56

the guys on your left and on your right they

30:58

come and grab your arms mm-hmm

31:03

I'm gonna kick dwarf

31:05

in front of me because like they're

31:07

not restraint all right making

31:10

a chakra

31:12

oh by the way

31:14

Zoltana and balance if you are

31:16

looking out in that general area you can probably see this

31:18

going on even if you can't hear all the exact words

31:20

18 oh

31:24

yes funny enough nobody's

31:26

wearing armor so

31:28

an 18 it definitely hits you kick him

31:31

square in the chest and you hear huh

31:33

as like his body sort of like unfolds

31:35

itself around your foot just as you pull

31:37

it out in time and you

31:39

you feel a sharp connecting

31:41

as the guy to your left throws a punch

31:43

at you okay

31:45

I get to rule you

31:48

do the

31:52

guy on the left botches there's

31:54

no amount modifies in the world they're gonna make that any better

31:56

for him that's he

31:58

lets go of your left hands of

32:00

your left hand side. He goes to swing

32:02

a punch at your face but completely overestimates

32:04

like you're pulling yourself back from having kicked

32:07

the dude in front and he just squares,

32:09

he punches the other guy square in the

32:11

face and that guy also lets go and puts his

32:13

hands to his nose as you see blood begin to drip

32:15

down his face. Are you still holding

32:17

your breakfast? I

32:20

would like to be. Um,

32:25

take a dexterity saving throw

32:28

because two people have just grabbed you and thrown punches

32:31

and you have kicks so. Oh yeah no it's

32:33

very hard for me to hold on to

32:35

my very good breakfast. Uh, 15. Uh, I'm

32:38

gonna say yes you managed to hold on to

32:41

your breakfast. What do you want to do now?

32:44

The guys you're left and the guys you're right are

32:46

both like, oh I'm really sorry mate,

32:49

ah I can't believe I punched you and grip looks

32:51

like sort of like doubled over like I'm

32:54

gonna hope that I've made enough, um,

32:57

you know, made them look like

32:59

fools enough and try to kind of um

33:05

get past them.

33:07

Okay, um as you retreat to

33:09

the temple. Yeah, as you go

33:11

to retreat to the temple and you

33:13

walk past 50, um, he grabs

33:15

out for your ankle. I need you to make another dexterity

33:17

saving throw. 17. Yep,

33:22

uh, you see his arm come out to grab you

33:24

but you simply just lift your leg a little bit

33:26

higher and walk over him. Um,

33:30

and the, as you're walking away

33:32

from this scene, um, balance and

33:34

Zoltana if you're watching this, um,

33:36

you see that a couple of the guards

33:39

rush to intervene, um, and you see like

33:41

you know about half, probably about half a dozen of them

33:43

just like circle on the floor and like you know pull

33:45

them apart and you know give them a chatting to and

33:47

Caiden is one of those and he picks up grip,

33:49

um, 50 and he

33:51

takes him, he takes him aside,

33:53

you know, that he's like the direction they're heading, he's

33:56

taking him back towards his cell. Um,

33:58

breakfast be damned whether he's eating it or not. I

34:01

am eating very quickly Okay,

34:04

cool what do you guys wanna do Balance

34:07

is just watching this all unfold very interested.

34:09

Am I not being taken back to the

34:12

to myself? No,

34:14

because you've walked away You've

34:17

literally stepped over and they continue walking

34:20

Generally when Kayden is on board. He's aware

34:22

that this happens, but he can't always stop

34:24

it Um, he's one

34:26

of the more friendly gods if you don't

34:28

stop shit He tends not to repercussions

34:30

some of the other gods sure will and

34:32

Lyndon who's the head screw He

34:35

definitely would but you seem to have

34:37

gone away with it this morning Yeah,

34:39

I'm gonna just kind of casually walk in

34:42

eating very quickly and

34:45

Sit back down You

34:48

handle yourself quite well Hmm

34:52

Thank you, I guess You're

34:55

not with them. Are you? Do

34:57

I look like I would be one of them? Can

35:00

never tell? Well,

35:02

let me answer you with this then and

35:04

balance pulls up his sleeves showing

35:06

there's no tattoos No,

35:09

you see the only tattoo I've got is

35:11

this one right here and he

35:14

just taps his forehead You know

35:16

the initiates they don't get tattoos They

35:19

still have to come fight me. I Suppose

35:22

that's true, but I haven't come to fight you have I

35:26

Well, that is good What

35:28

is it exactly that interests you with

35:30

me? Nothing in

35:32

particular. I suppose I Haven't

35:35

been out of my cell in quite a long time

35:37

and I found it interesting that you were sitting here

35:39

alone And I found it

35:41

more interesting the way you handled those Hooligans

35:46

well, you can see I'm alone because I have many friends

35:50

Hmm, I'm guessing Kaden is giving you a talk

35:52

like he gave me one then Kaden

35:55

is nice to you Kaden

35:59

is accommodating me. So

36:01

Tana, what are you up to at the moment? She

36:06

probably rolled her eyes double

36:09

ones and went back to eating and

36:12

maybe like has been glancing back at the

36:14

temple and thinking about like going in and

36:17

you know, after she's done

36:19

eating to like, say a little

36:21

prayer. Okay. At

36:24

some point during this conversation, then you probably definitely would

36:26

have finished your breakfast. So

36:28

yeah, at some point during this conversation, probably about

36:31

where I just interrupted you guys, you become aware

36:33

that this female dwarf walks into the temple and

36:36

is how do

36:38

you approach your God? Who is your God?

36:41

My God is Tear. And

36:45

she just kind of goes to like, how

36:48

many benches are there in the temple area? Let's

36:52

say that there are four. So

36:55

go to one that's not near the

36:57

strange elf and dragonborn

37:00

and kind of sit down, put her

37:03

hands in her lap, bow her head and close her

37:06

eyes and you know,

37:08

commune with Tear. Cool.

37:11

Um, balance, you have

37:13

not really left

37:15

your cell all that recently. You

37:19

noticed that unlike most of

37:21

the other prisoners here, Zoltan,

37:23

the female dwarf opposite you actually

37:26

has a religious symbol around her neck and

37:29

she also has a bronze ring on that

37:31

same necklace. Hmm. I'll

37:35

leave you three to it. Bro, I

37:37

was just kind of eating still. Not

37:40

paying much mind. Balance

37:43

after a moment just goes, hmm, it would seem

37:45

that you neither of us have friends and yet

37:47

now it seems we're making more friends. Raul

37:51

does not make many friends. This is unlikely.

37:54

It makes me suspicious. Well

37:57

did you invite her here? I didn't. You

38:00

there, what is your name? Uh,

38:04

Valtana like opens her eyes and turns around

38:06

and kinda glares and goes, If

38:09

you'll excuse me, I'm praying. I

38:13

didn't come in here to talk with you. Oh,

38:16

I'm sorry, my apologies. I

38:18

didn't realize that there were any people in this prison

38:20

that were actually of a religious sort. Please,

38:23

go ahead. We'll uh, well,

38:26

I should probably finish my breakfast anyway. Yeah,

38:28

she kind of rolls her

38:30

eyes and goes, Yeah, there's not a

38:33

lot of us in here. Uh,

38:35

it's all right. I guess it must

38:37

be weird to come into

38:39

the temple and actually see someone praying and she

38:41

like rolls her eyes again. Um,

38:45

at this point, probably

38:48

as you guys are finishing off the last of

38:50

your breakfast and acknowledging the fact

38:52

that this is weird and you know, um,

38:54

Zoltana is rolling her eyes. If you

38:56

become aware of a high pitched sound,

38:58

um, much, it

39:01

would be, for those of

39:03

you familiar, Um, it's actually the

39:05

sound you hear when the alarm spell goes off

39:08

and you know that this is a call to the

39:11

parade grounds. Well, it

39:13

looks like they're playing our music. Let's

39:16

go see what they want. And

39:19

Ross stands up reluctantly. Balance as

39:21

well. You

39:24

become aware that there is a huge flurry

39:26

of activity. Um, this is something that one does

39:28

not generally hang about for. Um, most,

39:31

you can see the prisoners, those who are still

39:33

are not, um, let's

39:36

say those who are not put

39:39

into solitary, like your friend, Fisty. Um,

39:43

you see that everyone is scurrying around and putting down

39:45

any weights, you know, the two humans playing catch

39:47

of, I've dropped this down and they immediately, everyone immediately

39:50

gets themselves into three lines, um,

39:52

roughly turn a piece. So

39:54

you can essentially tag onto the end of one other line.

39:56

You can tag yourself onto the holes in the other lines.

40:00

entirely up to yourself where you wish what you wish to do. But

40:02

this is the procedure. Balance

40:06

is probably going to go on to whatever line Ral is on, just

40:09

because balance is mildly curious

40:11

about Ral. Okay. Progress

40:14

to whichever one he recognizes the least amount of

40:16

people that fuck with him. Wishline

40:21

has the least amount of assholes. The

40:23

line with the least amount of assholes is the

40:25

well, everyone here is in prison. I'm gonna throw

40:27

that one out there. I'm not

40:29

an asshole. The

40:32

line with the least amount of assholes is probably,

40:35

let's say it's the middle line. And

40:38

yeah, let's say it's the middle line. And it's the least amount

40:40

of assholes due to the fact that there is the least amount

40:42

of people in it. That's

40:45

over your entire year here, Rojak.

40:48

Probably a good

40:50

portion of the people here have probably tried

40:52

to prove their mettle against you. Oh yeah.

40:55

So the number of enemies are, sorry,

40:57

the number of invited commas friends, i.e.

41:00

non-hostiles, are quite small. You could probably

41:02

capital one hand. Yeah, if there

41:04

was a line of 30 people and two of them didn't fuck

41:06

with Ral, he would still stand in that line. Yeah,

41:09

yeah, that's fine. So yeah, you go through the line with the

41:11

least amount of people. In this case, it's going to be the

41:13

second row. Zoltana, what are

41:15

you doing, my dear? I'll

41:18

follow them. Okay,

41:20

cool. I have nothing better to do.

41:22

I gotta go to the line anyway.

41:26

Good point. All right, everyone

41:28

forms up into tight ranks pretty quickly.

41:30

You know that for this, that you

41:32

need to be facing a particular direction

41:35

because as you look

41:37

across the sun would be in your eyes, especially

41:39

at this time in the morning. For

41:41

those of you in the know, it's there to essentially

41:43

distract you and make you less

41:46

able to respond properly as the light is

41:48

literally streaming into your eyes. And

41:50

you become aware that the guards have all

41:52

formed up inside the got the proving grounds

41:54

as well. And you become

41:57

aware that's coming in from

41:59

the the administrators part

42:01

of the building, you see a man, he's

42:03

a he's an elf. He's

42:05

a particularly well

42:08

built elf. He's

42:10

got fair hair, pretty bronze skin.

42:14

And his arms are probably

42:16

as thick as most people's legs. They are

42:18

they are definitely well built. And

42:21

this man's name is Lindran and Lindran

42:23

is the the

42:25

head screw here. And

42:27

he comes out, he seems chipping

42:29

a paper. She seems quite

42:32

happy this morning. He's very

42:34

happy with himself. For whatever

42:36

reason, and he begins

42:38

to walk up and down the lines. And

42:42

he occasionally speaks to some people.

42:46

Occasionally, you see him just straight up punch

42:48

a person for whatever

42:50

reason, but he always speaks very low, very quietly

42:52

to eat. So it's very difficult to hear what

42:54

he's saying. And you see

42:57

a few of the guards openly flinching

42:59

as he goes round administering his realignment

43:01

as he calls it is something

43:03

that most of you are pretty well familiar with. And

43:06

then he marks begins to make his way along the

43:08

second line. And he

43:10

comes to Sultana. Sultana,

43:13

is there anything about your prison gear,

43:15

which is not standard? Probably

43:19

my ring. And

43:23

also your your your symbol

43:26

at here? Yeah, probably my

43:28

my necklace with my symbol and

43:30

my ring is not standard prison

43:32

gear. Absolutely, it is not.

43:34

You've been here for a good couple of

43:36

years. I think we said five. Was that

43:38

right? Four. Four. Excellent. You've

43:41

been here for roughly four years. This

43:43

is, if not weekly,

43:45

you know, it's sometimes, you know,

43:48

a little bit more frequent. And every time he walks

43:50

past you, he steps back again, and

43:52

he puts his his hand

43:54

out and he runs his finger along your

43:57

necklace to the actual symbol

43:59

and he looks down. at it looks back up you says

44:03

so you're still with that are you?

44:07

Yeah of course

44:09

I am. One

44:12

day you will open your

44:14

eyes little girl but until

44:16

then you're safe and

44:18

he gives you like he pats the side of your face with his

44:20

hand and then he moves

44:23

on in the line and he comes

44:25

to balance is there anything about

44:27

your gear that is not standard or up to

44:29

snuff today? None that

44:31

I would think of. He

44:34

walks past you he looks you up and down he

44:38

locks eyes with you this

44:40

man you're not sure if he knows who you

44:42

are it's

44:44

not often that you come out here quite often

44:46

you are inverted commas locked in solitary

44:49

and he gives you a bit of a questioning

44:52

look seems to remember who you are it's been

44:54

some while since he's seen you and

44:56

then he moves on to Rojak. Rojak

44:59

is there anything about your gear that is not standard or up

45:01

to snuff this morning? Yeah

45:06

like what? Like

45:09

his shirt that is ruined and his

45:12

lack of pants and

45:15

probably flip-flops. I

45:17

don't think he can wear flip-flops. He

45:21

looks down at your feet he

45:25

looks at your wraps. Ross

45:27

smiles at him very sarcastically. Today

45:31

is not getting particularly good for you again

45:33

is it Dragonborn and he looks up and

45:35

he sees the neckline of your shirt how

45:37

it's all been like you know frayed and

45:39

slightly dissolved and torn apart he's

45:42

like how many

45:44

shirts we had to replace for you you

45:48

are costing us good

45:50

money and he goes to punch you

45:52

in the face okay i

45:54

just sit there it's a better role you're

45:57

just gonna take it yeah I

46:00

just want to double check. That's not

46:02

going to do it, though. It's

46:06

a 19 versus your armor class. Oh,

46:09

a 19. Yeah, that'll do it. I

46:11

cannot add the modifies on the roll because. OK, I

46:13

got it. Yeah,

46:15

that hits you. Yeah, yeah. OK,

46:18

he he punches you

46:21

square. He punches you in the

46:23

stomach and

46:25

you kind of like bend, you know, you kind of like

46:27

take a take it, it's

46:29

kind of winded you a little bit and you

46:31

take. So

46:34

that's eight points of damage. OK,

46:37

and he as you sort of like you're doubled over

46:39

a little bit. He's quite tall for

46:41

an elf and he sort

46:43

of like grabs your shoulder and grabs you by the

46:45

by your maw and pushes your head up a bit.

46:49

I smile sarcastically. Again,

46:52

with the sarcasm, he

46:55

he lifts your head up again and he says. Hmm,

47:00

clearly, single beating a

47:03

day isn't enough for you. And he

47:05

gives you another right hook square

47:07

to the face of time. Are you attempting to do anything or

47:09

are you just going to take it again? I'll

47:12

dodge this one. Yes, you do, because I

47:14

was 11 versus armor class. You

47:17

sort of like you as he goes to

47:19

like swing almost very obviously to you. You kind of

47:22

like duck out the way a little bit. And

47:25

you then just see his

47:27

face just swell up red. And

47:30

he's very particularly angry. And he just looks

47:32

at you with gritted

47:34

teeth. And he says, God,

47:37

take this one. And

47:40

about two being

47:42

that it's you, about three guards turn up. One of

47:44

them is in fact, Hayden. And

47:47

he's almost apologetic, but the three of them do clap

47:49

their hands on you. And, you know, are you doing

47:51

anything to resist them? Are you going with this? No,

47:54

he's good. He's good. You're going

47:56

to go with it. Okay. The three of them grab

47:58

hold of you and. They

48:02

drag you back towards your cell and

48:05

I'll get back to you in a moment. The

48:10

Lindran continues his inspection

48:13

of the rest of the group. A

48:16

couple of them, you see the humans in their

48:18

catch game have sort of scuffed up their

48:20

trousers and there's a ripping one and this

48:22

guy gets a solid punch to the nose and

48:24

you hear it crack and you see

48:26

the blood strip down. And this

48:28

guy continues walking along a balloon

48:30

and then he finally admits that he's

48:33

done and walks back into admin

48:35

without a problem. And you hear

48:37

the telltale sign of the high pitch alarm as it

48:39

goes off once again and you

48:41

guys are free to continue about your business.

48:46

What are Zoltana and

48:48

Balance doing right now? You

48:50

can see that your maybe

48:53

friend, maybe not friend is

48:55

in the corner with Caiden and one

48:57

other guard. Another one has been sent

48:59

away to do something else and

49:02

Caiden is apparently speaking to

49:04

oh god, what the hell

49:06

was your name? Raul. Raul

49:08

Jacques, Raul and he's talking to the other guard.

49:11

Are you two investigating this? Are you going back

49:13

to the temple? Are you just gonna Netflix

49:16

and chill? I don't know what are you up to? Balance

49:20

is probably gonna go close enough to

49:22

be within earshot and

49:24

just see what the guards are saying and then depending

49:26

on what they're saying he might approach or not. Raul,

49:29

I have to go to Netflix and chill. Zoltana

49:34

is gonna go

49:37

back to the temple to finish

49:40

praying since she was interrupted

49:42

and she

49:44

wanted to, she needs to commune with her

49:46

god. Very friends they said,

49:48

it'll be fun they said. Of course I try

49:50

to be friends with the dwarf that's got a

49:53

stick up their ass. She's

49:56

biased and needs time man. Maybe

49:58

she's gone through some stuff man. She's gone through

50:00

some stuff give her a chance. This is prison. What

50:02

are you talking about? Nobody good anything? Everyone

50:06

has baggage get over it Okay,

50:10

so When you are

50:12

taken to one side Rauchak and I will allow

50:14

you balance to decide when it is that you

50:16

meander crossing this conversation I'm

50:19

listening in. Yeah, Katie Cadence

50:21

turns to one of the guards when he says

50:25

I've I've got this me me

50:27

and me and Steve. We've got this You

50:30

you go back to work. Rauchak won't

50:32

be any problem. Will you? No,

50:35

no problem at all Good

50:38

good. That's see see this

50:40

and the other guy meanders

50:42

off. He goes about his job. He Caden

50:45

is Understood to have a

50:47

certain way with a lot of people and he

50:50

trusts him and

50:52

Caden looks at Rauchak and says I I

50:54

I want you to try try

50:57

and hide. I'm sorry. I couldn't

50:59

help you today You

51:02

don't need to stick your neck out for me You

51:06

have done enough You don't

51:08

don't don't deserve this and you

51:11

see that the other guard who is

51:13

a dwarf and this dwarf has He's

51:16

completely bald. He doesn't even have

51:18

a beard doesn't even have eyebrows He has no hair

51:21

at all on his body and he looks up

51:23

at you Questioningly when

51:25

Caden says you don't really deserve this

51:27

and he says that I

51:29

I know what you're in for He

51:32

you deserve this you deserve everything. I Would

51:35

agree see We

51:38

should put him in solitary now and be done with it

51:40

leaving there The

51:44

ground and Caden Looks

51:47

at him concernedly and he sort of

51:49

like jerks his head to one side

51:54

Look I've Rallin

51:57

our kind of friends and again the dwarf

52:00

like you can't make friends with any of this

52:02

lot they're all scum. All right

52:04

let's take him down to Solitro, let's

52:06

not be having any more of this rubbish. Balance

52:09

is going to intrude at this point. Go

52:11

for it. So Balance walks

52:14

up kind of acting innocent

52:17

in a sense just being like, Ryle

52:19

there you are my friend, we never got to

52:22

finish having our conversation what with the meeting

52:25

here and all, why don't we head back to

52:27

the temple we can have finish having our chat

52:29

you and I. Hey hey Pritna what do you

52:31

think you're doing we're having a conversation here. No

52:34

I'm I'm terribly sorry. No no no you're

52:36

gonna step back right now. Okay

52:39

I'm taking a step back right all

52:41

right okay. I

52:44

took a step back can I have my friend now so we

52:46

can go have a talk. Kade

52:48

and you're in charge but these are all

52:50

scum and the others out to be in solitary or

52:52

hung or worse. They won't put

52:54

me in solitary it's just too fun a game

52:56

to watch me. Yeah

53:00

you're one of those strange ones aren't you. You're

53:03

probably meant to prison life. Bloody

53:06

lot and he looks at Kade

53:08

in and again he goes to take your arm and Kade

53:10

and just steps forward and looks at him kind of sternly

53:12

like I'm I'm I'm I'm

53:14

I'm trying to command here you you'll

53:17

leave this be now and

53:19

they have that moment of a battle of wills and

53:22

the dwarf throws his hands up and he walks away

53:24

you can hear him muttering as he goes like it's going

53:26

to get a bloody kill this fucking stuff with this

53:28

lot. He sort of goes

53:30

off and you see him having a stern conversation

53:32

with the humans who again playing

53:35

catch just right you know despite the blood that's kind of

53:37

like dripping down one of their noses. Kade

53:39

and you are going to

53:41

lose your job or your neck you

53:43

really have to stop this. I

53:47

I'm I'm

53:49

I've known you for a long long time. You

53:52

know there is nothing you can do. I

53:54

knew but before you came here. Yes but

53:57

I knew you wouldn't. Yes yes. I'm

54:00

at. He kind of like takes you to

54:02

one side, very aware that balance there and

54:04

he says i. I'm

54:07

I'm well aware that that, yeah, I

54:09

think you're innocent, so I don't believe

54:11

you deserve to be here, right? And

54:13

he's innocent And he's innocent And he's innocent and

54:15

I'll have to do is Tolin during the thrall

54:17

innocent and they will let us go out to

54:20

write, know. That. Is Not How this

54:22

works. You don't need to be sticking your neck out

54:24

for me anymore. Well.

54:26

I'm I'm not gonna can accept that.

54:30

This issue. I

54:34

have to have to make make a show

54:36

that at least pitching. Need some somewhere out

54:38

of by or is it a shot so

54:40

let's let's let's go Go Go Go Go

54:42

to the kitchen said it's it's it's quite

54:44

that is there's only as you see other

54:46

a few other services. An

54:48

elite least for for for short time. And

54:51

then. He points you have no

54:53

direction the kitchen and he looks over at silence

54:55

and it's like. You. You

54:58

use that you've made a friend. This. Morning is

55:00

is that right? You

55:02

could say that I was trying to

55:04

take your. Advice? at least

55:06

a little bit into consideration. Of.

55:09

So far this one has been. Interesting.

55:14

I tried talking to the other one, the dwarf that

55:16

was in the temple. City. And very

55:18

friendly but I'll try again. So.

55:21

So so so so. Son is a good stick

55:23

a a good so deep. Deep.

55:26

The. Us I think it's a it's is

55:28

in this up some was movie say

55:30

so I'll be sure he roots reports

55:32

and to you Captain Balance like does

55:34

like a friendly mock salute just. Kind

55:37

of sitting around and then goes back to

55:39

the temple. Okay, I'm.

55:42

Okay, we'll get back to the simple fast because haven't had

55:44

from so thought are that. Aren't

55:47

you make your that sort of dental. Balance

55:50

walks into the temple where his father.

55:54

As she's sitting back at

55:56

the friend. On

55:58

the benches and the for. And

56:00

she's just about finished up communing with

56:04

Tyr in her mind. So she's

56:06

kind of... it looks like she's almost

56:08

like coming out of a trance. This

56:10

little Tana, I would like you to

56:12

make a... I'll

56:15

just make sure I bring to the right bit. I

56:17

would like you to make a Wisdom Savings Throw, please.

56:21

Yeah, it's a 15. Okay.

56:25

You feel the

56:27

touch of Tyr. But

56:30

it's restrained. It's

56:32

not. There's

56:34

something blocking you and you don't know if it's you, or

56:37

if it's being in this place, or

56:39

your exhaustion, or everything you've been through, but... it's

56:42

that little bit out of reach. You're close enough to

56:45

sense it's there, but not enough to actually make

56:47

direct communion today. She

56:50

kind of sighs like... a

56:53

little sad, a little wistful. Upset

56:56

that your God has abandoned you. What's

57:00

that? Well,

57:02

that was a very profound sigh, one that

57:04

I've let out often. She

57:08

looks at balance like she thinks he's

57:10

a little crazy, like... that's

57:12

a bit of a personal question to be asked

57:14

in someone you just met, isn't it? I'm

57:17

sorry, if you'd rather we can spend the next couple of

57:19

years getting to know each other, since it seems that you

57:21

and I have a rather long life ahead of us. Well,

57:24

with you being a dwarf and me being an elf

57:27

and all, I don't imagine that we're going to be

57:29

dying of old age anytime soon anyways. Heh

57:32

heh. That's true.

57:35

And they go a long sentence ahead of me too, so... I

57:38

don't know about you. You might be out of here before me, who knows?

57:41

Heh. Ahh... That's

57:44

a funny one if I've ever heard a joke. Um,

57:47

we'll cut back to the kitchens. And

57:50

Kayden is leading you back to the kitchens

57:52

where I was like, you've been here a couple of times, it's one

57:54

of those quiet, safe

57:56

spots that Kayden will take yourself

57:59

and a few others. he's taken a bit of

58:01

a liking to occasionally just to take them out

58:03

of the oppressiveness

58:05

and the closeness of having all

58:07

these criminal scum around

58:10

basically. And

58:13

he you know he sits you down and you

58:15

see Kaiseya is like working over

58:17

in the corner working on lunch you would

58:19

assume and

58:21

she looks over and she smiles at you and gives you

58:23

a little bit of a wave. We're all

58:27

nods and smiles. So

58:31

hi again. Hello, hope

58:34

you're having a better day than I am. Yeah

58:39

you look a little bit beaten up and she sort of

58:41

like like claps her like rubs her hands together and you

58:43

see like the dust coming yeah sorry the dust that would

58:45

be terrible thing to eat. You see

58:47

the flower coming off of her hands as she

58:49

like walks over to you and like she looks

58:52

you up and down and she says

58:55

I can help some of that if you want. How

58:58

do you mean? Before

59:00

I came here I trained with an alchemist

59:03

I can try and patch

59:05

your wounds up a bit and Caiden smiles

59:07

and he says I'll

59:09

leave you to it then. Ral

59:13

now don't go eating her and here

59:15

he walks out. Ral

59:17

looks actually a little nervous. Really?

59:20

Yeah with Caiden leaving. Take

59:25

an inside check at

59:28

this disadvantage. Seven.

59:32

Excellent. She seems

59:35

happy and cheerful enough to help you out

59:37

and she goes around the kitchen busting around

59:39

pulling a few things together and

59:42

she gives you um she

59:45

gives you like she blends it down into a like

59:47

something very quickly and you see her like grinding with

59:49

the pestle and she comes over and gives you

59:51

this kind of like mixture of herbs and like

59:53

this sort of like very sick oily substance and

59:55

she hands it over to you and says I

59:58

think this might help out. At least

1:00:00

it'll help the wounds that you got today. Why

1:00:03

are you helping me? She

1:00:08

cocks her head a little bit and it's,

1:00:10

she's difficult to read at this point because

1:00:12

of your seven and she

1:00:16

says, I, I trust

1:00:18

that there's

1:00:21

more to you than meets the eye, I

1:00:23

think. No one trusts

1:00:25

Ralph or anything. Well,

1:00:29

and then anyways, I don't have any way of

1:00:31

repaying you for this. She,

1:00:34

she sits down like on the floor, obviously you cross

1:00:36

leggers. She seems to have no

1:00:39

fair review whatsoever. Um, and

1:00:42

she says, uh, um, I've

1:00:44

been told I have a gift. Um, I

1:00:47

can sometimes just sense things

1:00:49

about people and

1:00:52

I sense that you're, there's

1:00:54

more to you. I don't

1:00:56

think you're going to harm me voluntarily. So

1:00:59

I'll help you. Now,

1:01:03

the other friend you have, the elf with the

1:01:05

tattoo on his head, and she waves her hand

1:01:07

like the rough, rough place, like him,

1:01:09

I'm not so sure about. Well,

1:01:13

me neither, but as you

1:01:15

can tell, I'm not so sure about many people in here.

1:01:19

No, I guess not. As you

1:01:21

can tell, I'm skeptical of you as

1:01:23

well. I don't know why

1:01:25

you're helping me. I don't have a way of repaying you

1:01:27

for this. I don't know what you're

1:01:29

trying to gain. I could look out for you. Um,

1:01:32

but that's as very limited as I am a

1:01:34

prisoner. That's just not really how this

1:01:37

works. Well, let's

1:01:39

just say not everyone is Lindren or

1:01:43

some of the other people here. Just

1:01:45

most of them to me, which is strange.

1:01:48

Yeah. As to why I have so many

1:01:50

people helping me today. Maybe

1:01:53

it's just your lucky day and

1:01:56

she gives you, come on your seven. You can't really

1:01:58

read her expression. I'm

1:02:01

gonna write that seven forever, huh? Yeah, you're writing

1:02:03

that seven forever with this girl. It's

1:02:07

at that point that Kaidan comes back and

1:02:11

he looks a little worried and

1:02:14

he just is you to go with. Are you

1:02:17

going to use or consume

1:02:20

the thing that she's given you or are you

1:02:22

gonna give it back to her? Yeah, I'm gonna

1:02:24

pick it up and before I kind

1:02:26

of look at it and then look

1:02:28

at her. Kind of in

1:02:31

a testing, not sure way. She's just

1:02:33

mousy. And then I drink it and

1:02:35

hurry along with Kaidan. Roll

1:02:37

a d4 plus three. Okay.

1:02:39

It was poison, you die. Six.

1:02:43

Six, you restore six hit points. Woo.

1:02:46

Woo. Um, Kaidan

1:02:49

looks worried and he, as I say, he

1:02:51

comes and pulls you away and he

1:02:55

grabs you, like,

1:02:58

as you're going out the kitchen, like

1:03:00

in the corridor, he grabs both your

1:03:02

arms and he looks, I

1:03:04

guess up at you because you're like seven foot or something stupid

1:03:06

like that. Almost seven foot. Yeah,

1:03:09

he's not tall for a human

1:03:11

anyway, but he's definitely shorter than

1:03:13

seven foot. He grabs both your arms,

1:03:15

he looks up at you and he says, I know a little

1:03:17

bit about you and

1:03:23

your aimer. You

1:03:26

need to know something. And

1:03:28

I don't know how it's going to go for you. I'll

1:03:31

do what I can, especially for

1:03:33

some of you, you and Valance

1:03:35

and Zoltana and Liana. But

1:03:40

it appears, the reason

1:03:42

why Lindrin is so happy is

1:03:45

that Falsim, Falsim's

1:03:48

become Dawn. Hmm.

1:03:51

And what does this mean for us? Falsim,

1:03:55

it's becoming Dawn. Is

1:03:57

that the law? You're

1:04:00

lost for what you've done. You

1:04:02

don't know what the penalty for that is. Right.

1:04:05

The same penalty I got when I came here.

1:04:07

This is why I asked you not to stick

1:04:10

your neck out for me. I

1:04:12

was always going to die here. You

1:04:16

weren't going to die

1:04:18

for years. This means

1:04:20

you're... I

1:04:24

don't know how long that... Lyndon...

1:04:30

Lyndon says he's going to put the

1:04:32

cast one prisoners to

1:04:35

death by tomorrow morning. Hello

1:04:44

thanks to Jason Basel for doing the artwork

1:05:52

to the show. I hope I am not

1:05:54

butchering your name, but you know

1:05:57

with this accent pretty much everything is butchered.

1:06:00

So Jason

1:06:02

did a fantastic job on the art

1:06:04

for the show. I

1:06:06

said, paint me like one of

1:06:08

your French girls. And he did. So

1:06:31

So thank you very much for listening and we

1:06:33

will see you the next time. Also,

1:06:36

every now and then after this little bit,

1:06:39

there will be potentially some

1:06:41

bloopers from the show, kind of like

1:06:43

the one after this. So if you're

1:06:45

ever interested in hearing us fuck up,

1:06:47

here you go. Oh

1:06:50

yeah, Casey, I forgot to say every time you roll something, just

1:06:53

say what you rolled and how much it was. Just

1:06:55

because obviously they can't say it. I

1:06:58

trust you guys when you say you've rolled what you've rolled. What

1:07:00

are you talking about? This isn't a video

1:07:02

podcast. Wait, we're not streaming this

1:07:04

shit. That's weird. This

1:07:07

is why everything feels awesome. Jack was made for

1:07:09

the big screen. I

1:07:13

think everyone here is. You

1:07:16

made for the big screen like the square

1:07:18

block was meant for the circular hole. Oh,

1:07:21

OK. Let's stop that right now.

1:07:23

I'm going to roll it. I'm going to roll it. Punch

1:07:25

you now. The

1:07:31

Spark Network. Imagine what your idea

1:07:33

can do.
