EP 16 - "Port de Saulet"

[00:00:01] Welcome everyone to another episode of Rift Walkers. We're gonna start off this session like we do every few episodes by rolling for Obligation and Destiny or Story Points. First and foremost, I rolled a sweet little 7 on Obligation which means that Kayako's Obligation is active. Everyone's strain thresholds is reduced by 1 and Kayako's is reduced by 2.

[00:00:30] Now for Destiny Points, I am going to add, I'm gonna be adding, because of my rolls, 2 points to the player pool. Boo.

[00:00:39] I rolled 1 point to the GM pool.

[00:00:42] I also rolled 1 point to the GM pool.

[00:00:45] I also rolled a point for the GM pool.

[00:00:48] I wanna roll guys.

[00:00:49] Yeah, I rolled a point for the player pool.

[00:00:51] Nevermind.

[00:00:53] I rolled a point for the GM pool.

[00:00:56] And I rolled a point for the GM pool.

[00:00:59] Clemens bringing it back.

[00:01:00] Alright.

[00:01:01] After revealing the news of Korvac Hist's death, the night went by, shrouded in an uncomfortable silence, as dinner concluded and everyone retreated to their predetermined quarters.

[00:01:14] As Finn, however, was on the way back to his, Iris intercepted him and bid him follow to a secret part of the fort.

[00:01:22] Finn follows without question.

[00:01:24] Tiptoeing through the halls, through the commons, and then down into the dungeons to just outside this broken postern gate.

[00:01:35] Iris leads you.

[00:01:36] Looking around, she says,

[00:01:38] Now, obviously I have a lot going on in my mind with this new news, but things should be sorted first and foremost.

[00:01:47] Yes, it's been an inventful day, to say the least.

[00:01:51] What happened in the forest, Finn?

[00:01:53] As I said, we met something local to this land.

[00:02:02] Something I have never seen before and something that none of us could understand.

[00:02:07] Bread.

[00:02:08] Whatever it is, his connection to a void was able to connect with something.

[00:02:13] But things.

[00:02:16] Beings.

[00:02:18] Iris.

[00:02:19] Capable of producing effects with void that I have never seen or comprehended before.

[00:02:25] I know.

[00:02:27] Imagine, Finn, if you will.

[00:02:29] One of the most complex mechanisms you could think up.

[00:02:33] Perhaps it heats an entire city block, provides light, blooming energy, what have you.

[00:02:39] Take that and condense it into something you could fit on a person.

[00:02:44] It is unfathomable.

[00:02:45] And now take that one step further and make it biological.

[00:02:49] Wire it directly into the brain.

[00:02:51] It is not constructed.

[00:02:53] It is grown.

[00:02:55] That is what they are, Finn.

[00:02:57] That is how intense their connection is with the void.

[00:03:00] I believe tonight you made first contact on account of the Ironwood Company.

[00:03:06] Barring our own interactions in the bay where they fired upon us.

[00:03:09] Scuttled our ships.

[00:03:11] With the carrier door.

[00:03:13] You have not heard this name before, have you?

[00:03:15] Finn just shakes his head.

[00:03:17] Good.

[00:03:18] Hector would like to keep it that way.

[00:03:20] As would the compact.

[00:03:21] I trust you keep this between us.

[00:03:24] Add it to the list.

[00:03:25] Of course.

[00:03:25] And be wary of bread.

[00:03:29] First and foremost, this connection troubles me.

[00:03:32] I too will keep an eye on him.

[00:03:34] But also, Kel.

[00:03:36] She found something.

[00:03:38] Notes.

[00:03:38] Perhaps Ethel words.

[00:03:40] Perhaps someone else's.

[00:03:41] A small book.

[00:03:43] Poems and such.

[00:03:44] But it contained writings on the carrier door.

[00:03:47] And attempts to decipher their language.

[00:03:49] I know about its existence.

[00:03:52] And having it in my position would incriminate me.

[00:03:55] I need you to take that book from Kel and destroy it.

[00:03:58] She cannot have that knowledge.

[00:04:00] How pressing is this?

[00:04:01] Do I have time to...

[00:04:03] Take it from me?

[00:04:04] I do not believe she knows much.

[00:04:07] Beyond...

[00:04:07] Her first impressions.

[00:04:09] Nor how important it is...

[00:04:11] To breaking down the barrier between us and them.

[00:04:14] A barrier, mind you, that the compact wishes to remain firmly in place.

[00:04:20] Though...

[00:04:21] I will admit Hector has his own plans.

[00:04:23] We will leave on the moron for Porte des Soleil.

[00:04:26] It is a busy city.

[00:04:27] With many adventurers and ne'er-do-wells.

[00:04:31] It would be easy for some wanton pickpocket to swipe the book from her there.

[00:04:37] If you know what I'm saying.

[00:04:39] And Finn just nods in agreement.

[00:04:41] Good.

[00:04:44] Is there anything else?

[00:04:47] No.

[00:04:47] But if you have any questions...

[00:04:49] And she just...

[00:04:50] Kind of glances up at the...

[00:04:52] Moon and the sky and...

[00:04:54] The fort...

[00:04:55] Let beneath it.

[00:04:57] If you have any questions, now would be the time to ask him.

[00:05:01] No questions.

[00:05:03] But...

[00:05:04] A reminder, perhaps.

[00:05:07] You know what it is I seek here.

[00:05:09] Of course.

[00:05:10] These...

[00:05:12] Beings...

[00:05:13] You have described...

[00:05:15] Intrigue me.

[00:05:16] Naturally.

[00:05:17] Their workings...

[00:05:19] Are very reminiscent not only to how things were before the Godsfall event, but also of those...

[00:05:26] Who...

[00:05:26] In part caused it.

[00:05:28] I seek answers here, you know.

[00:05:31] If...

[00:05:32] If...

[00:05:32] Something were to...

[00:05:35] Conflict...

[00:05:36] With the goals of the Ironwood Company, I of course...

[00:05:40] Honor our agreement.

[00:05:42] But...

[00:05:43] I would ask for some...

[00:05:45] Leniency...

[00:05:47] Or time...

[00:05:48] When it allows...

[00:05:49] To pursue my own...

[00:05:50] Purposes.

[00:05:51] As time goes on, Finn.

[00:05:53] And she looks at you with this...

[00:05:57] Uncharacteristically mirthful...

[00:05:59] Expression.

[00:06:00] And she says...

[00:06:02] You will see that...

[00:06:03] Perhaps your goals...

[00:06:05] Are more in line with those of the Ironwood companies than you believe.

[00:06:08] As we all go forward now.

[00:06:10] If ever there comes a time that you doubt...

[00:06:13] That these interests align...

[00:06:15] Simply speak openly with me...

[00:06:17] And I will...

[00:06:18] Do my best to...

[00:06:19] Abate your fears...

[00:06:21] And doubts.

[00:06:22] I have though...

[00:06:25] However...

[00:06:25] No doubt myself...

[00:06:27] That this little quest...

[00:06:29] To find exactly what the Vipers stumbled upon...

[00:06:32] And what drew them away from the Company and Hector in the first place...

[00:06:35] Will lead us...

[00:06:37] And Northward.

[00:06:39] And she'll just tilt her head knowingly at you.

[00:06:41] Getting a...

[00:06:42] Genuine grin on his face...

[00:06:44] At this news...

[00:06:45] That the goals are somewhat aligned.

[00:06:48] He again...

[00:06:49] Nods.

[00:06:50] Well he will.

[00:06:51] Then...

[00:06:52] All you need to say is jump...

[00:06:54] And I say how high.

[00:06:55] She'll just flash this sharp-toothed smile...

[00:06:58] And then say...

[00:06:59] Goodnight, Finn.

[00:07:04] Come morning...

[00:07:05] Everyone assembled in the courtyard...

[00:07:07] Of the fort...

[00:07:08] After enjoying a meager breakfast...

[00:07:10] About to take their next steps.

[00:07:12] Lined up...

[00:07:13] In front of you all...

[00:07:14] She says...

[00:07:15] First things first...

[00:07:17] She eyes you...

[00:07:18] With a suspicious stare...

[00:07:21] We've...

[00:07:21] A matter...

[00:07:22] To discuss...

[00:07:23] Before setting out for Port des Soleil.

[00:07:26] Last night was a bit of a shock for me...

[00:07:27] And I apologize for the way I conducted myself...

[00:07:31] Still...

[00:07:32] I do not believe...

[00:07:33] I made an improper decision...

[00:07:35] Sequestering the lot of you as I did.

[00:07:37] I hope...

[00:07:38] This morning...

[00:07:40] That we can brush the topic again with a...

[00:07:43] Clear heads...

[00:07:44] And a night's worth of thoughts...

[00:07:46] Eres begins...

[00:07:47] Kind of just like pacing...

[00:07:49] Up and down...

[00:07:49] This line of you all...

[00:07:51] Allow me to clarify...

[00:07:53] Some details first...

[00:07:55] Apparently...

[00:07:56] Corvac Hist was killed...

[00:07:58] The very same day we found him...

[00:08:00] In Ciro...

[00:08:01] The news was slow to reach the Iron World Company's ears...

[00:08:04] Arriving the night we departed for Viridian...

[00:08:07] The ocean between us...

[00:08:08] And the ambush...

[00:08:10] Here...

[00:08:10] That depleted what little stars of energy I had in my void color...

[00:08:14] It was only after I was able to recharge it yesterday...

[00:08:17] That I received this month-old communique...

[00:08:20] Now...

[00:08:21] We got very little...

[00:08:23] Out of Corvac...

[00:08:24] Next to nothing...

[00:08:26] Except that...

[00:08:27] Ethelward came here...

[00:08:28] And there had been some sort of falling out...

[00:08:31] Within the Viper's Rhymes...

[00:08:33] I had hoped to contact the Felish compound last night...

[00:08:35] And follow up on any interrogations...

[00:08:37] Before we set off after Ethelward...

[00:08:39] But those hopes have been thoroughly dashed...

[00:08:42] Now I'm not saying anyone here is responsible...

[00:08:46] But this group is among the last few people...

[00:08:50] To see Corvac Hist alive...

[00:08:53] And she stops pacing...

[00:08:55] Her words just...

[00:08:56] Hanging in the air...

[00:08:58] Not quite accusatory...

[00:09:00] But not exactly exonerating either...

[00:09:02] Well I did not kill him...

[00:09:04] What motivation would any of us have had to kill him?

[00:09:06] Iris just shrugs...

[00:09:08] I could not say...

[00:09:09] Iris please...

[00:09:11] I mean...

[00:09:12] You've been in our company...

[00:09:14] Virtually the entire time...

[00:09:16] Since we captured Corvac...

[00:09:18] Just about...

[00:09:20] The two guards who were posted to keep him safe in Saraw...

[00:09:23] Were the ones who reported the crime...

[00:09:26] He was found in his cell...

[00:09:29] Stabbed...

[00:09:30] To death...

[00:09:31] When will we have had the opportunity to kill him then?

[00:09:35] Yes we had the means...

[00:09:37] But...

[00:09:37] Without opportunity...

[00:09:40] I...

[00:09:40] Do believe you don't have a case here...

[00:09:42] As I said...

[00:09:43] Lady Kai...

[00:09:44] I'm not accusing you of anything...

[00:09:46] I'm simply stating the fact that...

[00:09:48] This group saw him last...

[00:09:50] And anything...

[00:09:52] Perhaps that you will recall...

[00:09:53] From that day...

[00:09:54] A month ago...

[00:09:56] Could help...

[00:09:57] Whatever investigation...

[00:09:58] Is going on in the mainland...

[00:10:00] Siraco...

[00:10:01] Raises his hand...

[00:10:03] Somewhat timidly...

[00:10:04] Yes...

[00:10:05] Siraco...

[00:10:07] I know...

[00:10:09] We see him last...

[00:10:11] But...

[00:10:13] Perhaps...

[00:10:14] It is...

[00:10:14] Possible...

[00:10:15] That somebody...

[00:10:17] Like one of the Vipers...

[00:10:19] Or something...

[00:10:21] Uh...

[00:10:22] How I say this...

[00:10:24] You know we have not been...

[00:10:26] Very quiet...

[00:10:28] We...

[00:10:29] Alert...

[00:10:29] Corvac...

[00:10:30] To our presence...

[00:10:32] And we alert...

[00:10:34] Aetherworld...

[00:10:35] So...

[00:10:36] Perhaps...

[00:10:37] Somebody...

[00:10:38] See that we alert them...

[00:10:40] And they come by...

[00:10:42] Since we find him...

[00:10:44] Someone else come by...

[00:10:46] Uh...

[00:10:47] Maybe somebody follow us...

[00:10:49] And then...

[00:10:50] Take out Corvac...

[00:10:52] It is an unsettling thought...

[00:10:54] I will admit...

[00:10:55] And if it is true...

[00:10:56] Then it is...

[00:10:57] Of the utmost...

[00:10:58] Amperative...

[00:10:58] That we leave for Port-de-Soleil...

[00:11:00] Immediately...

[00:11:01] And try to pick up...

[00:11:02] Aetherworld's trail...

[00:11:04] And...

[00:11:04] What are the guards...

[00:11:06] Iris?

[00:11:07] How come they didn't see...

[00:11:08] Anybody enter the cell?

[00:11:10] They could not report on that...

[00:11:12] I was merely told of...

[00:11:13] Corvac's death...

[00:11:14] And the status...

[00:11:16] Of...

[00:11:17] These two individuals...

[00:11:19] I was not witness to their testimony...

[00:11:21] How did he die?

[00:11:23] As I said...

[00:11:24] It was reported that he was stabbed to death...

[00:11:26] Do you think it's possible...

[00:11:28] That it could have had anything to do...

[00:11:29] With that poison that he was spreading in Sero?

[00:11:31] A stabbing?

[00:11:33] No...

[00:11:34] Just his death in general...

[00:11:35] Seeing as we were the only ones...

[00:11:37] That knew he was responsible for the event...

[00:11:40] Or that in his luckies...

[00:11:42] Perhaps...

[00:11:43] It is a connection I will...

[00:11:44] Advise them to look into...

[00:11:46] Once we reach Port-de-Soleil...

[00:11:48] I say...

[00:11:49] We go to Port-de-Soleil...

[00:11:52] And we try to be...

[00:11:54] More discreet...

[00:11:55] Iris kind of shocked at...

[00:11:58] Sorako's brevity...

[00:12:03] Go on!

[00:12:05] Is like...

[00:12:07] Just like...

[00:12:08] Draws her face and nods like...

[00:12:10] Yes...

[00:12:12] So we not live now...

[00:12:14] Because I think...

[00:12:16] Okay...

[00:12:16] We talk more about it...

[00:12:19] Is okay...

[00:12:20] If there are any other questions...

[00:12:22] You wish to field...

[00:12:23] I can tell you what I know...

[00:12:24] But otherwise...

[00:12:25] I would suggest we move along...

[00:12:27] I am ready when the group is...

[00:12:30] We should all be good to go...

[00:12:31] I have no questions...

[00:12:33] None that you could answer...

[00:12:36] Anyways...

[00:12:36] Well...

[00:12:37] I do suggest...

[00:12:39] In order to keep a low profile...

[00:12:41] And remain discreet...

[00:12:42] As Sorako says...

[00:12:44] That...

[00:12:45] Only the present company...

[00:12:47] Should travel to the Port-de-Sole...

[00:12:49] Agreed?

[00:12:50] That was my plan...

[00:12:52] Yes...

[00:12:53] Captain Aureus and his crew...

[00:12:54] Will remain behind the stronghold here...

[00:12:56] I will arrange...

[00:12:58] Some sort of trade...

[00:13:00] To...

[00:13:00] Make its way...

[00:13:02] North...

[00:13:02] Once we reach the city...

[00:13:04] Do we plan on returning...

[00:13:06] To this stronghold?

[00:13:09] He says more addressing...

[00:13:10] To the group...

[00:13:11] Less so...

[00:13:12] Specifically Iris...

[00:13:13] But including Iris...

[00:13:14] Iris will speak up first...

[00:13:16] I do not see why...

[00:13:17] I cannot be a...

[00:13:19] A stronghold...

[00:13:21] As it was intended...

[00:13:23] As long as I can keep...

[00:13:24] My void color...

[00:13:26] Fueled...

[00:13:26] We should be able to move...

[00:13:28] Back and forth...

[00:13:29] To our destinations...

[00:13:30] With relative ease...

[00:13:33] I am going to leave...

[00:13:35] A few things...

[00:13:36] Back in...

[00:13:37] My room...

[00:13:38] He says...

[00:13:39] Referring to the...

[00:13:40] Large room...

[00:13:41] That is the only one...

[00:13:42] That had any furniture...

[00:13:43] He is going to stand up...

[00:13:44] And gather a few things...

[00:13:46] That he had brought down...

[00:13:47] With him...

[00:13:47] To the table...

[00:13:48] Picks them back up...

[00:13:49] And he is going to...

[00:13:50] Make his way back up...

[00:13:51] Perhaps...

[00:13:52] Before we go...

[00:13:53] To Port Desole...

[00:13:54] It might be a good idea...

[00:13:56] To know...

[00:13:58] What our plan of action is...

[00:14:01] So...

[00:14:02] Etoward...

[00:14:03] Knows we are coming...

[00:14:04] He has already left...

[00:14:06] We have...

[00:14:07] A small advantage...

[00:14:08] We get to Port Desole...

[00:14:10] Very fast...

[00:14:10] Thanks to Iris...

[00:14:12] But...

[00:14:13] How we find...

[00:14:13] A toward...

[00:14:14] When we are there...

[00:14:15] I think...

[00:14:16] It is a good idea...

[00:14:17] To find...

[00:14:18] The traitors...

[00:14:19] That work...

[00:14:20] With A toward...

[00:14:23] Who...

[00:14:23] Do not like...

[00:14:25] Yakimo...

[00:14:26] And his band...

[00:14:27] Of bandits...

[00:14:28] Because they...

[00:14:29] Might know...

[00:14:30] Where A toward is...

[00:14:31] I dare say...

[00:14:32] It is our only lead...

[00:14:33] In that case...

[00:14:34] It is settled...

[00:14:36] Everybody...

[00:14:36] We are ready...

[00:14:36] We head to Port Desole...

[00:14:38] Right now...

[00:14:39] Been stepping down the stairs...

[00:14:41] As you say that...

[00:14:42] Yes I am...

[00:14:43] When we reach the city...

[00:14:45] I will bring us...

[00:14:46] Just south side...

[00:14:47] Of the march gate...

[00:14:49] We should be able to...

[00:14:50] Secure our entrance...

[00:14:51] Relatively quickly...

[00:14:53] With one of the...

[00:14:54] Color ports...

[00:14:56] And then...

[00:14:57] I will move about...

[00:14:58] In the city...

[00:14:59] And arrange...

[00:15:01] Provisions...

[00:15:02] For our foothold here...

[00:15:04] While you all...

[00:15:06] Seek out...

[00:15:06] Is this trade company...

[00:15:08] Good...

[00:15:09] Very good...

[00:15:10] Good...

[00:15:11] And Iris will turn on a dime...

[00:15:14] And march out of the gate...

[00:15:15] To...

[00:15:16] You know...

[00:15:16] Just in front of this compound...

[00:15:17] Where you've been staying...

[00:15:19] We follow...

[00:15:20] Outside...

[00:15:21] She takes a moment...

[00:15:23] And readies herself...

[00:15:25] Voidcaller in hand...

[00:15:27] Iris rolls...

[00:15:28] Four...

[00:15:29] Chaotix...

[00:15:30] Oh butts...

[00:15:31] We're blessed...

[00:15:32] Lucky you...

[00:15:33] She got...

[00:15:34] Two successes...

[00:15:35] And two advantage...

[00:15:37] And I had to use a...

[00:15:38] GM point...

[00:15:39] For that...

[00:15:39] To upgrade her role...

[00:15:41] For all the people...

[00:15:42] Keeping track...

[00:15:43] Back home...

[00:15:44] Yeah...

[00:15:44] Keep your scorecards out...

[00:15:47] As...

[00:15:48] Everyone...

[00:15:49] Steps around...

[00:15:50] Iris...

[00:15:51] Kind of huddling...

[00:15:52] A little close to her...

[00:15:53] And she holds out her...

[00:15:54] Arm...

[00:15:55] With the voidcaller on her wrist...

[00:15:56] There's...

[00:15:57] This...

[00:15:58] Visual...

[00:15:59] Aberration...

[00:16:00] Of...

[00:16:00] Color...

[00:16:01] And almost like a...

[00:16:02] Heat distortion effect...

[00:16:03] And then...

[00:16:04] Really without...

[00:16:05] Much...

[00:16:06] Fanfare...

[00:16:07] You find yourselves...

[00:16:09] On this like...

[00:16:10] Receiving platform...

[00:16:11] Outside the city...

[00:16:13] Of Porte de Soleil...

[00:16:15] On the south side...

[00:16:16] As she said...

[00:16:16] In a small little...

[00:16:17] Kind of...

[00:16:18] Burrow...

[00:16:18] Called the March Gate...

[00:16:20] Which...

[00:16:20] Accompanies...

[00:16:21] The March Gate...

[00:16:22] Which...

[00:16:23] Leads into the city's...

[00:16:25] Walled area...

[00:16:26] Of its center...

[00:16:27] There is...

[00:16:28] A hustle and bustle...

[00:16:30] Abound...

[00:16:31] Here...

[00:16:32] This is...

[00:16:33] Compact...

[00:16:34] Headquarters...

[00:16:35] On Viridian...

[00:16:36] So you see...

[00:16:37] All...

[00:16:38] Manner...

[00:16:39] Of people here...

[00:16:40] From every...

[00:16:41] Compact nation...

[00:16:42] And every race...

[00:16:43] Back from...

[00:16:44] Vrananos...

[00:16:45] Iris...

[00:16:46] As she said...

[00:16:47] Is able to...

[00:16:47] Get everyone...

[00:16:48] Inside the city...

[00:16:49] With ease...

[00:16:50] As you separate...

[00:16:51] In the small...

[00:16:52] Kind of square...

[00:16:53] Inside the March Gate...

[00:16:55] She bids you farewell...

[00:16:56] And we'll meet you back...

[00:16:58] Here...

[00:16:58] She says...

[00:16:59] At sundown...

[00:17:00] Tonight...

[00:17:01] And if you're not there...

[00:17:02] Then sundown...

[00:17:03] The following day...

[00:17:04] And if you're not there...

[00:17:05] Then...

[00:17:06] And then she walks away...

[00:17:07] Oh...

[00:17:07] They're dead...

[00:17:09] That's awesome...

[00:17:10] I'm beginning to get the feeling...

[00:17:12] That she doesn't like us very much...

[00:17:13] It's fair...

[00:17:14] I have no idea...

[00:17:16] What you talk about...

[00:17:17] She'll love me...

[00:17:21] But perhaps...

[00:17:23] The rest of you...

[00:17:24] Should not like...

[00:17:25] Because you are not so...

[00:17:28] Happy...

[00:17:29] As me...

[00:17:30] Now...

[00:17:31] I say...

[00:17:32] We go...

[00:17:33] To find...

[00:17:34] The traders...

[00:17:35] Probably in some sort of market...

[00:17:37] Or...

[00:17:38] Something...

[00:17:39] Well...

[00:17:41] Or...

[00:17:42] Or...

[00:17:42] The...

[00:17:42] The...

[00:17:44] How you say...

[00:17:45] The harbor...

[00:17:46] The harbor...

[00:17:47] We go to the harbor...

[00:17:48] Lots of ships...

[00:17:49] Lots of goods...

[00:17:50] Lots of things to trade...

[00:17:51] I think...

[00:17:53] Siraco has a good point...

[00:17:55] Depending on how large of a group...

[00:17:57] We want to...

[00:17:58] Present ourselves as...

[00:17:59] It might be best to...

[00:18:01] Separate into...

[00:18:02] Smaller...

[00:18:03] Groups...

[00:18:04] Even perhaps...

[00:18:05] If there is...

[00:18:06] A slums...

[00:18:07] People there...

[00:18:08] Tend to...

[00:18:09] Pick up information...

[00:18:10] As well...

[00:18:11] Just one question...

[00:18:13] From me...

[00:18:13] What exactly...

[00:18:15] Is our defining...

[00:18:16] Characteristic...

[00:18:17] Of these...

[00:18:18] Traders...

[00:18:19] With whom...

[00:18:19] Yet the word...

[00:18:20] Was affiliated...

[00:18:22] There are bound to be...

[00:18:23] Dozens of companies...

[00:18:24] Various groups...

[00:18:26] What will...

[00:18:27] But...

[00:18:27] We're looking...

[00:18:28] For traders...

[00:18:30] Who...

[00:18:31] Uh...

[00:18:32] Travel north...

[00:18:33] Through...

[00:18:34] The area...

[00:18:35] With the fort...

[00:18:36] And...

[00:18:37] Who pay...

[00:18:38] Yakimo Ross...

[00:18:39] To not kill them...

[00:18:41] Finn gives a...

[00:18:42] Genuine nod...

[00:18:43] We just make a poster that says...

[00:18:45] Have you been extorted...

[00:18:46] By Yakimo Ross?

[00:18:50] Stand in the middle...

[00:18:51] Of the square...

[00:18:54] Call toll free...

[00:18:57] So I think...

[00:18:59] What we do...

[00:19:00] We can...

[00:19:01] We can ask...

[00:19:02] Some of the traders...

[00:19:04] Say we're friends...

[00:19:05] Of Aethoward...

[00:19:06] And we take care of his problem...

[00:19:08] For him...

[00:19:09] So he no more have to pay...

[00:19:11] To...

[00:19:12] Uh...

[00:19:13] Not...

[00:19:13] Be attacked by Yakimo...

[00:19:15] And then we find...

[00:19:17] Aethoward...

[00:19:18] Well...

[00:19:19] And maybe...

[00:19:20] Traders tell us...

[00:19:21] Oh yeah...

[00:19:21] Aethoward...

[00:19:22] Right here...

[00:19:23] And then we find him...

[00:19:26] I really hope it goes that easy for us...

[00:19:28] Okay...

[00:19:29] So as planned...

[00:19:29] I go to...

[00:19:30] The markets...

[00:19:32] And see who there...

[00:19:33] I mean...

[00:19:34] I'd be happy to go to the slums...

[00:19:35] And I would too...

[00:19:37] Oh no...

[00:19:41] Might I accompany you...

[00:19:43] Bread...

[00:19:44] I love to see how the other half lives...

[00:19:47] I'm sure you do...

[00:19:52] Sorry...

[00:19:52] I'll say that...

[00:19:54] No...

[00:19:55] I'm thrilled about this partner up...

[00:19:56] This is great...

[00:19:59] Good...

[00:20:00] I will journey with Sarako...

[00:20:04] Perhaps there will also be...

[00:20:06] Craftsmen...

[00:20:07] On the docks...

[00:20:08] Who affiliate themselves...

[00:20:09] With various traders...

[00:20:11] I perhaps could glean...

[00:20:12] Some information from them...

[00:20:14] Kel...

[00:20:14] Will you go with them...

[00:20:15] To be their muscle...

[00:20:17] Yeah...

[00:20:18] I'll go with them...

[00:20:19] I think I am a muscle enough...

[00:20:21] And Sarako will hold up an arm...

[00:20:23] And it's like...

[00:20:24] You know the cartoons...

[00:20:25] Where it like droops in the middle...

[00:20:27] It's like...

[00:20:33] But...

[00:20:33] I welcome you...

[00:20:35] To our party...

[00:20:36] Lady Kel...

[00:20:37] Very good...

[00:20:38] Kai...

[00:20:38] Bread...

[00:20:39] Let's be on our way...

[00:20:40] Sounds good to me...

[00:20:41] Alright...

[00:20:41] So who knows where they're going...

[00:20:42] Who's been to this city before?

[00:20:45] Nobody...

[00:20:46] Let's...

[00:20:46] Let's look at the map...

[00:20:48] I mean the map...

[00:20:50] We...

[00:20:50] We...

[00:20:51] We all took the tearaway maps...

[00:20:53] At the gate...

[00:20:53] So...

[00:20:54] Yeah...

[00:20:55] We went to the visitor's center...

[00:20:58] You mean I wasn't handed a brochure...

[00:21:00] As I walked in the ticket gate?

[00:21:02] That's gonna cost you a story point...

[00:21:05] I...

[00:21:06] I actually will flip a story point...

[00:21:08] With that one...

[00:21:10] Very well...

[00:21:11] As we walked in the gate...

[00:21:12] Finn at least noticed...

[00:21:13] That there was a...

[00:21:14] Street urchin boy...

[00:21:15] Peddling off some...

[00:21:16] Maps of the city...

[00:21:18] And so...

[00:21:18] He did...

[00:21:19] Give out a couple of pieces of...

[00:21:21] However much the kid was asking...

[00:21:23] He didn't try to have it with or anything...

[00:21:24] He just paid whatever he needed...

[00:21:25] For the map...

[00:21:26] And he has a map...

[00:21:27] Alright...

[00:21:28] 200 silver...

[00:21:32] As the slums group...

[00:21:35] Is about to depart...

[00:21:36] Finn just calls after them one last time...

[00:21:39] If anything is to go awry...

[00:21:42] Then I suggest...

[00:21:44] All of us...

[00:21:45] And...

[00:21:46] You know...

[00:21:46] Just kind of...

[00:21:47] Generally pointing to the area where they're in...

[00:21:49] Notices...

[00:21:50] Just a small tavern...

[00:21:52] Kind of off in the corner...

[00:21:53] Let us meet there specifically...

[00:21:56] So we are not wandering around...

[00:21:57] Looking for each other...

[00:21:59] Aye aye...

[00:22:00] Alright so...

[00:22:01] Who's going to the slums?

[00:22:02] We've got...

[00:22:03] Bread...

[00:22:03] Kayako...

[00:22:04] And Orinor...

[00:22:05] And then...

[00:22:06] Finn...

[00:22:07] Sadako...

[00:22:08] And Kel...

[00:22:09] Are going to...

[00:22:10] Did you say the port or the market?

[00:22:12] The port I believe was the plan...

[00:22:14] To find...

[00:22:15] Trader ships...

[00:22:16] You are the one with the map...

[00:22:18] So you can decide...

[00:22:21] Well there's two ports...

[00:22:23] So...

[00:22:23] You have to decide...

[00:22:24] Well we're gonna go...

[00:22:26] To the best port...

[00:22:28] Let's say the inner port...

[00:22:30] As...

[00:22:30] You know the party sets off...

[00:22:32] One bound for the kennel ward...

[00:22:33] And one bound for the inner ports...

[00:22:35] You can stay together...

[00:22:37] For...

[00:22:37] You know...

[00:22:38] At least half this journey...

[00:22:39] As you...

[00:22:40] Just traipse down...

[00:22:41] One of these large avenues...

[00:22:43] Going through...

[00:22:43] The western side of the city...

[00:22:45] And then coming upon...

[00:22:46] The port ward...

[00:22:48] Itself is when...

[00:22:49] You can diverge from each other...

[00:22:51] As...

[00:22:52] Arnor...

[00:22:53] Kayako...

[00:22:53] And bread...

[00:22:55] Head on over...

[00:22:56] Still to the north...

[00:22:57] Where they can find a bridge...

[00:22:59] Crossing out of...

[00:23:00] Where you are...

[00:23:01] And into the...

[00:23:03] Slums...

[00:23:04] Through the walls and gates again...

[00:23:06] But for now...

[00:23:06] We'll stick with Kel...

[00:23:07] And Sorako...

[00:23:09] And Finn...

[00:23:10] You're in the ports...

[00:23:12] But give us a feel...

[00:23:13] For what we're seeing...

[00:23:13] Is it just bustling with activity?

[00:23:15] Is it...

[00:23:16] Scant for people?

[00:23:17] So...

[00:23:18] It's not nearly as busy...

[00:23:19] As you would expect it to be...

[00:23:21] Being the...

[00:23:22] Like...

[00:23:22] Main seaborne trade hub...

[00:23:24] Of the compact territory on Viridian...

[00:23:27] That is...

[00:23:28] Partially because...

[00:23:29] You know...

[00:23:29] All of the trade that comes through here...

[00:23:31] Is so highly regulated by the compact...

[00:23:34] And who comes in and out...

[00:23:36] Is matters of...

[00:23:38] Multinational visas and security issues...

[00:23:41] Lots of bureaucracy...

[00:23:43] Exactly...

[00:23:44] Exactly...

[00:23:44] Lots of quill pushing...

[00:23:46] And so...

[00:23:47] Everyone here...

[00:23:48] There's a...

[00:23:49] An air about them...

[00:23:51] Of...

[00:23:52] Kind of purpose...

[00:23:53] Especially in this inner port here...

[00:23:55] Where...

[00:23:55] There's a bit of...

[00:23:57] A no-nonsense...

[00:23:59] Attitude...

[00:24:00] To most of the workers that you see...

[00:24:02] And everyone...

[00:24:04] That isn't a direct...

[00:24:06] Governmental hire...

[00:24:07] Is most likely...

[00:24:08] Some kind of...

[00:24:09] Contracted worker...

[00:24:11] Similar to...

[00:24:12] Say...

[00:24:13] What you are with the Ironwood Company...

[00:24:15] And turning to...

[00:24:16] To Sirocco...

[00:24:17] Finn says...

[00:24:18] You are the man with the words...

[00:24:21] Perhaps you should...

[00:24:23] Find a way to communicate with these...

[00:24:26] To get the information we want...

[00:24:28] Okay...

[00:24:29] I think first...

[00:24:30] We need...

[00:24:31] Perhaps...

[00:24:32] Some sort of map of trade routes...

[00:24:34] So...

[00:24:34] Let's see...

[00:24:35] And Sirocco is going to start looking around...

[00:24:38] Does there look...

[00:24:39] Uh...

[00:24:39] What are these pencil pusher types?

[00:24:41] Are there any...

[00:24:43] Talic dudes...

[00:24:44] That are cruising around with clipboards?

[00:24:46] There's all nationalities...

[00:24:49] Alright...

[00:24:50] Well...

[00:24:50] I'll start with the tails then...

[00:24:52] Approaching one of them...

[00:24:53] Who looks like...

[00:24:53] He...

[00:24:54] Might know what he's doing...

[00:24:55] You see a man in like a...

[00:24:58] Yellow and white doublet...

[00:25:01] With some like...

[00:25:02] Pinstriped sleeves...

[00:25:03] Holding a slate...

[00:25:04] And overseeing...

[00:25:05] You know...

[00:25:06] A batch of goods...

[00:25:07] That are being carted off...

[00:25:09] One of these larger ships...

[00:25:10] That does bear...

[00:25:12] A...

[00:25:12] You know...

[00:25:13] Kind of principality...

[00:25:15] Vibe to it...

[00:25:15] That you...

[00:25:16] That you've seen before...

[00:25:17] Sirocco...

[00:25:17] Sirocco will...

[00:25:19] Approach this man...

[00:25:20] Catch his eye...

[00:25:21] A little bit of eye contact...

[00:25:23] And as he enters into a nice conversation distance...

[00:25:25] He will tip his hat to the man...

[00:25:28] And say...

[00:25:28] Hello sir...

[00:25:29] I have a small question for you...

[00:25:31] Do you perhaps know...

[00:25:32] Where I might be able to acquire...

[00:25:33] A map of some of the local trade routes...

[00:25:36] I wish to...

[00:25:37] Have some goods...

[00:25:38] Shipped...

[00:25:39] Up northward...

[00:25:40] He barely looks at you...

[00:25:42] Out of the corner of his eye...

[00:25:44] Before just returning to...

[00:25:45] Scribbling on the slate of his...

[00:25:47] Keeping track of boxes...

[00:25:48] To and fro...

[00:25:48] Going to and fro...

[00:25:50] And he says...

[00:25:51] Do I know you?

[00:25:52] Do I...

[00:25:53] Um...

[00:25:54] I am Saraco Castellan...

[00:25:56] Of House Castellan...

[00:25:58] Pleased to make your acquaintance...

[00:26:00] Mr...

[00:26:01] I'm sorry...

[00:26:02] Is there something that you require...

[00:26:04] Boy?

[00:26:05] I just need to know...

[00:26:07] Where I can find a map of some trade routes...

[00:26:09] You are affiliated with which company?

[00:26:12] The Ironwood Company...

[00:26:14] He kind of sneers at this a little...

[00:26:17] And he's like...

[00:26:19] Ironwood?

[00:26:21] Eh...

[00:26:22] Where did you grow up, boy?

[00:26:24] I come from...

[00:26:25] Apola...

[00:26:26] If you are...

[00:26:27] Acquainted with it?

[00:26:29] Really?

[00:26:29] He kind of just screws up his face...

[00:26:31] I thought I heard some...

[00:26:33] Almorin trash...

[00:26:34] In your speech...

[00:26:36] You hear nothing of the sword...

[00:26:38] Sir...

[00:26:39] Now...

[00:26:40] Please...

[00:26:41] If you could direct me...

[00:26:44] And the rest of the members...

[00:26:47] All of whom are associated with the Ironwood Company...

[00:26:51] I will simply...

[00:26:53] Obtain the trade routes...

[00:26:56] You don't...

[00:26:57] Not even from you...

[00:26:58] From whoever you recommend...

[00:27:00] And we can be on our way...

[00:27:01] And nobody...

[00:27:03] Needs to get upset...

[00:27:05] I am sorry...

[00:27:05] I am here on principality business...

[00:27:08] And...

[00:27:08] Even if you were...

[00:27:10] A legitimate representative...

[00:27:12] I only deal with...

[00:27:13] A true tales...

[00:27:15] And he gives you a nod...

[00:27:16] And then walks down the dock...

[00:27:19] Sir Raku will flip him off...

[00:27:24] Okay...

[00:27:25] That guy...

[00:27:26] Has a huge stick...

[00:27:28] Up his...

[00:27:29] Uh...

[00:27:31] Cyan...

[00:27:32] He no have respect for me...

[00:27:34] And he no have respect for Ironwood Company...

[00:27:37] So perhaps we find somebody...

[00:27:39] We know about...

[00:27:42] Two-Tail Fox Trading Company...

[00:27:45] Maybe...

[00:27:46] Maybe...

[00:27:48] Two-Tail Fox...

[00:27:49] You remember from Korvac...

[00:27:50] Maybe...

[00:27:51] Aetherworld, Korvac...

[00:27:52] All the Vipers...

[00:27:53] Use the same thing...

[00:27:54] We could be on the lookout for that...

[00:27:57] Or...

[00:27:57] We could...

[00:27:59] Say we are from...

[00:28:00] Two-Tail Fox Company...

[00:28:02] Hmm...

[00:28:03] I'd rather not...

[00:28:05] Say too much...

[00:28:06] That is...

[00:28:08] Uh...

[00:28:09] Well...

[00:28:09] Requiring more knowledge...

[00:28:10] Than we actually have...

[00:28:11] Quite yet...

[00:28:12] It would be quite easy...

[00:28:14] For many of these companies...

[00:28:16] To question...

[00:28:17] Anything about our knowledge...

[00:28:19] Of the Two-Tail...

[00:28:20] Fox Company...

[00:28:21] And...

[00:28:23] I know nothing...

[00:28:24] Except for it has two tails...

[00:28:25] And it's a fox...

[00:28:26] Okay...

[00:28:27] Okay...

[00:28:27] Forget that...

[00:28:29] Then I try one more time...

[00:28:30] And Seraco is going to look around...

[00:28:32] For somebody who is...

[00:28:34] Markedly...

[00:28:35] Less...

[00:28:36] Uppity...

[00:28:37] Like...

[00:28:37] Grungy...

[00:28:38] Salt-of-the-Earth type guy...

[00:28:40] All right...

[00:28:40] You can easily find...

[00:28:42] You know...

[00:28:42] These guys are a dime a dozen...

[00:28:43] There's plenty of...

[00:28:45] You do find...

[00:28:46] As...

[00:28:47] You lead Finn and Kel...

[00:28:49] A little north...

[00:28:50] In this district...

[00:28:51] To where the buildings are a little more cramped...

[00:28:54] The...

[00:28:54] Like...

[00:28:55] Smell of pitch is a little heavier in the air...

[00:28:57] The shouts and cheers...

[00:29:00] From the neighboring...

[00:29:01] Public houses...

[00:29:02] Are a little louder...

[00:29:03] You do find a group of men...

[00:29:05] Lounging outside...

[00:29:07] On some barrels...

[00:29:08] Like...

[00:29:09] Just sitting atop them...

[00:29:10] Playing some kind of...

[00:29:11] Dice game...

[00:29:12] On an empty box between them...

[00:29:15] There's...

[00:29:16] Three humans...

[00:29:17] A Mazkin...

[00:29:18] And...

[00:29:18] An Elvkin...

[00:29:19] And all three of the humans are taken...

[00:29:22] Approaching this group...

[00:29:23] Seraco will say...

[00:29:26] Hey...

[00:29:26] Cachones...

[00:29:27] I have a question for you...

[00:29:29] If you would be so kind as to answer...

[00:29:31] You know how I can ship some stuff to the north...

[00:29:34] One of them kind of just elbows the other one...

[00:29:36] And points over his shoulder at you...

[00:29:37] And says...

[00:29:38] Hey...

[00:29:38] Look at this...

[00:29:38] Prissy dog coming up...

[00:29:40] What do you want then?

[00:29:41] Eh?

[00:29:41] Hey...

[00:29:42] Who is a prissy dog?

[00:29:43] Okay?

[00:29:44] I'd rather be prissy dog...

[00:29:45] Than mangy dog...

[00:29:46] Like you...

[00:29:47] So...

[00:29:48] I just want to know...

[00:29:49] How we ship things to the north...

[00:29:51] Why don't you take that fancy little cape...

[00:29:53] And wipe your ass with it...

[00:29:54] And go away?

[00:29:55] Uh-huh?

[00:29:57] Hey...

[00:29:58] Hey...

[00:29:58] Hey...

[00:29:58] Hey...

[00:29:59] Okay...

[00:29:59] Okay...

[00:30:00] Okay...

[00:30:08] I like to imagine that Kel and Finn are just kind of standing a couple paces away...

[00:30:12] And they just like share a look as this is happening...

[00:30:15] And then just go back...

[00:30:16] Because they can't understand what you're saying...

[00:30:18] But they can read body language pretty well...

[00:30:20] So I like to imagine that we kind of know what's happening...

[00:30:22] But kind of don't at the same time...

[00:30:24] That'd require a rule...

[00:30:25] Do you dip into like full Talish then?

[00:30:27] Like full...

[00:30:29] Provincial?

[00:30:30] Full Talish?

[00:30:31] But not only that...

[00:30:32] This is the stuff that like...

[00:30:34] The slum dogs and the gutter rats are using...

[00:30:36] It is like low Talish...

[00:30:38] Okay...

[00:30:39] Okay...

[00:30:39] Okay...

[00:30:39] Okay...

[00:30:39] Okay...

[00:30:40] Okay...

[00:30:40] You think I do not know how this works...

[00:30:42] You think I don't know the game...

[00:30:44] Okay...

[00:30:45] Well first let me do this...

[00:30:47] And he will take his cape off...

[00:30:49] I take this...

[00:30:50] Alright...

[00:30:50] And he'll throw it back onto like Finn's head...

[00:30:53] Alright...

[00:30:53] Now we are more or less equals...

[00:30:55] You're still a little bit lower than me...

[00:30:57] But we make it work...

[00:30:58] And now...

[00:30:59] I tell you what...

[00:31:01] Yes...

[00:31:02] Yes...

[00:31:02] Our bootstraps are not so easily gripped as are yours...

[00:31:06] Look...

[00:31:06] How about...

[00:31:08] We...

[00:31:09] Sit down...

[00:31:10] I play this game with you...

[00:31:11] You...

[00:31:12] If I win...

[00:31:13] You tell me what you want...

[00:31:14] If you win...

[00:31:15] You can have not only my cape...

[00:31:17] But also my hat...

[00:31:18] And you can pretend to be a noble...

[00:31:21] They all laugh...

[00:31:23] Okay...

[00:31:23] Well if you don't want that...

[00:31:24] How about a 100 pieces of silver?

[00:31:27] 100 pieces of silver...

[00:31:29] If you win...

[00:31:30] A two rounds...

[00:31:31] Let's say...

[00:31:32] Two out of three rounds...

[00:31:33] Of Chibeli...

[00:31:35] Okay...

[00:31:35] Fine...

[00:31:36] Two out of three rounds...

[00:31:37] Same goes for you...

[00:31:39] Very well...

[00:31:40] You know the rules...

[00:31:41] I imagine...

[00:31:43] Of course I know the rules...

[00:31:45] I've been playing this game since I come out of my mother's womb...

[00:31:48] Now...

[00:31:48] Set it up...

[00:31:49] And Seraco will go over and like...

[00:31:51] Brush one of the dudes sitting aside...

[00:31:53] And take his seat at the table...

[00:31:55] As he sets up this...

[00:31:56] This game...

[00:31:57] And reconfigures it for a...

[00:31:59] Two player mode...

[00:32:01] So to speak...

[00:32:01] He turns the box a little so it fits more comfortably between the two of you...

[00:32:06] And then he holds out his hand and gives you a set of these dice...

[00:32:10] And he says...

[00:32:11] All right...

[00:32:12] Let us flip a coin...

[00:32:14] Yes?

[00:32:15] Well...

[00:32:15] How do I know...

[00:32:17] That you have not given me loaded dice?

[00:32:20] Oh...

[00:32:21] I'm sorry...

[00:32:22] I should have assumed that the man of your outstanding would have brought his own Chibeli dice...

[00:32:26] But it seems you don't...

[00:32:27] I'm just saying...

[00:32:29] I am very fair man...

[00:32:31] But if you not play fair...

[00:32:33] You know it's fine...

[00:32:34] All right...

[00:32:34] Even if they are loaded dice...

[00:32:36] I win anyway...

[00:32:37] It's okay...

[00:32:38] Very well...

[00:32:39] Yes...

[00:32:39] Let us flip a coin to see who go first...

[00:32:42] A heads...

[00:32:43] Or a tails?

[00:32:44] I feel like tails...

[00:32:48] All right...

[00:32:49] I'm going to roll a d100...

[00:32:50] 50 and below...

[00:32:51] His heads...

[00:32:52] 51 and up...

[00:32:53] Tails...

[00:32:54] 99...

[00:32:56] Very well...

[00:32:57] You...

[00:32:58] What was your name again?

[00:33:01] Lordling...

[00:33:02] Seraco Castellan...

[00:33:03] Bastillero of House Castellan...

[00:33:07] No doubt you are...

[00:33:09] Please...

[00:33:10] It is your move then...

[00:33:12] Okay...

[00:33:13] You...

[00:33:13] Ask for it...

[00:33:14] And...

[00:33:15] Seraco will...

[00:33:16] Begin playing the game...

[00:33:17] I've got no idea...

[00:33:18] What the specifics of this game are...

[00:33:22] The dice mechanics of Chibeli...

[00:33:25] Are very convoluted...

[00:33:26] It would take an entire episode...

[00:33:28] Just to explain them...

[00:33:29] So I won't...

[00:33:32] Instead...

[00:33:33] I'm going to ask you...

[00:33:35] How would you like to play...

[00:33:37] I'll give you four options...

[00:33:38] Do you want to try to distract him outside of the game...

[00:33:41] Rig the game...

[00:33:43] Rely on pure luck...

[00:33:44] Or...

[00:33:45] Skill...

[00:33:46] Because there is kind of a skill component to this...

[00:33:48] If I know Seraco...

[00:33:50] And I do...

[00:33:51] He's going to rig the game...

[00:33:53] I knew it...

[00:33:54] That's what I thought...

[00:33:55] As much as he can...

[00:33:57] We'll see...

[00:33:58] His skullduggery isn't very great...

[00:34:00] That is what you will be rolling...

[00:34:02] His skullduggery...

[00:34:03] I will go ahead and spend a story point to...

[00:34:06] Upgrade whatever roll I have to do next...

[00:34:08] Just roll straight...

[00:34:10] Skullduggery...

[00:34:11] Oh F...

[00:34:12] Because this guy's...

[00:34:13] It'll be a contest...

[00:34:14] Yeah...

[00:34:15] It's a contest...

[00:34:16] I see...

[00:34:17] I see...

[00:34:17] I'm going to spend a story point to upgrade it...

[00:34:21] And as will I...

[00:34:23] F...

[00:34:26] Can I say that while Seraco is playing...

[00:34:28] Kel just very quietly leans down...

[00:34:30] Or leans over to Finn...

[00:34:31] And says...

[00:34:32] I got ten silver on Seraco...

[00:34:35] If you want to take it...

[00:34:36] He smiles...

[00:34:38] Somewhat innocently at first...

[00:34:39] And just says...

[00:34:41] Deal...

[00:34:42] And...

[00:34:43] If I win...

[00:34:45] Perhaps that little book of yours as well...

[00:34:47] You picked up back at the fortress...

[00:34:49] Hmm...

[00:34:50] We'll see...

[00:34:51] And Kel will kind of nod...

[00:34:52] And just kind of...

[00:34:53] We'll go back to watching...

[00:34:54] Is it possible, Ryan...

[00:34:56] For me to do some sort of check...

[00:34:57] To see if there's anyone around...

[00:34:59] Who is watching us...

[00:35:00] In any sort of weird or bizarre way...

[00:35:02] Or can I check to see...

[00:35:04] If these other people...

[00:35:05] Are trying to rig the game...

[00:35:07] The same way that Seraco is?

[00:35:09] No...

[00:35:10] No...

[00:35:10] Okay...

[00:35:10] So...

[00:35:11] Did you say what you got, Noah?

[00:35:12] I rolled four advantage...

[00:35:14] Not great...

[00:35:15] All right...

[00:35:16] Your...

[00:35:17] Taillac friend rolls...

[00:35:18] His coordination...

[00:35:20] And got three successes...

[00:35:22] And one advantage...

[00:35:23] And so...

[00:35:24] This first round...

[00:35:26] Goes to him...

[00:35:27] And he just goes...

[00:35:28] Oh...

[00:35:28] As he's...

[00:35:29] Collecting his dice...

[00:35:30] And putting yours across the crate to you...

[00:35:32] It is a sad display...

[00:35:34] When one such as yourself...

[00:35:35] Could be brought so long...

[00:35:38] Please...

[00:35:39] Please...

[00:35:40] I want you to have a win...

[00:35:42] To feel like you have hope...

[00:35:44] Before I snatch it right out from under you...

[00:35:46] Again!

[00:35:47] Oh, I see you are just like all of the bourgeois...

[00:35:51] Hey, I take what I need...

[00:35:53] As do you...

[00:35:54] Do not pretend that we are so different...

[00:35:57] I know how this game is played...

[00:35:59] Now...

[00:36:00] Let us set it up again...

[00:36:01] Then roll your damn dice...

[00:36:04] All right...

[00:36:04] This time I'm going to try to...

[00:36:06] Distract him...

[00:36:07] All right...

[00:36:08] In that case...

[00:36:09] You are going to be...

[00:36:11] Using...

[00:36:12] Deception...

[00:36:13] Oh...

[00:36:14] Well, both of these skills are the same...

[00:36:16] You got another story point...

[00:36:19] Well...

[00:36:19] I'm gonna use it...

[00:36:21] He uses all our story points...

[00:36:22] For a game that he insisted on playing...

[00:36:25] Oh my gosh...

[00:36:26] Are you kidding?

[00:36:27] A very Sirocco move...

[00:36:29] Honestly...

[00:36:30] It is...

[00:36:31] When one of us dies...

[00:36:32] And bread has to heal us...

[00:36:33] And we have no story points...

[00:36:34] I'm gonna look back on this moment...

[00:36:36] And laugh...

[00:36:39] I want the 10...

[00:36:42] Silver...

[00:36:44] I will use the story point...

[00:36:46] To upgrade my roll...

[00:36:47] And get three successes...

[00:36:49] Ooh...

[00:36:49] Nice...

[00:36:50] Nice...

[00:36:51] And he is gonna try to rig this round...

[00:36:53] With Skullduggery...

[00:36:55] And only got...

[00:36:56] One success and two advantage...

[00:36:57] So second round goes to...

[00:37:00] Sanaco...

[00:37:01] Yeah...

[00:37:01] Neck and neck folks...

[00:37:02] Right in this...

[00:37:05] Nice...

[00:37:05] That's Finn commentating on the side...

[00:37:08] This man...

[00:37:10] As he gathers up his dice...

[00:37:11] Glowers at you a little...

[00:37:12] And says...

[00:37:13] It is a beginner's luck...

[00:37:15] Hey what is wrong...

[00:37:16] You are feeling hot under the collar...

[00:37:19] Saraco says as he...

[00:37:20] Like undoes a couple of like buttons...

[00:37:23] On his jerkin...

[00:37:24] What you're...

[00:37:26] Jerkin doublet...

[00:37:27] To reveal a very bushy chest...

[00:37:30] This one...

[00:37:31] Is for all the marbles...

[00:37:33] And Saraco...

[00:37:34] Will give...

[00:37:35] A roll of his dice...

[00:37:36] With a flourish...

[00:37:37] Again trying to distract this guy...

[00:37:39] No actually...

[00:37:40] He will...

[00:37:40] He will try to use...

[00:37:42] Skill...

[00:37:43] So that'll be coordination...

[00:37:45] Aha!

[00:37:46] I've got three of that...

[00:37:49] Nice...

[00:37:50] Well this guy's gonna use coordination too...

[00:37:53] And he's gonna...

[00:37:54] Amp it up...

[00:37:55] Uh oh...

[00:37:55] Well I'm...

[00:37:56] I'm gonna amp it up right back...

[00:38:00] Come on...

[00:38:02] And...

[00:38:02] He rolled...

[00:38:04] Two successes...

[00:38:05] Three advantage...

[00:38:06] And I only rolled two success...

[00:38:08] Oh...

[00:38:10] Shoot...

[00:38:10] That hurt...

[00:38:11] Not getting anything on those two dice...

[00:38:13] It seems to be...

[00:38:15] An apparent tie...

[00:38:17] And then as...

[00:38:19] He is...

[00:38:20] Going to collect the dice...

[00:38:22] He...

[00:38:22] He looks at one...

[00:38:23] He just goes...

[00:38:24] Oh...

[00:38:24] Would you look at this?

[00:38:25] And he shows you...

[00:38:27] And...

[00:38:27] What seemed to be a...

[00:38:28] A one before...

[00:38:29] Is now a two...

[00:38:30] As he picked it up...

[00:38:32] Off the crate...

[00:38:33] If you want to roll...

[00:38:34] Noah...

[00:38:35] A...

[00:38:36] Contested...

[00:38:38] Vigilance...

[00:38:39] I...

[00:38:39] I will do so...

[00:38:40] But I won't upgrade this one...

[00:38:42] Because I've been...

[00:38:43] We've been flipping story points a lot...

[00:38:46] All right...

[00:38:47] And I got two success...

[00:38:49] And two advantage...

[00:38:51] And he got two success...

[00:38:52] And one advantage...

[00:38:54] On his skullduggery...

[00:38:56] So...

[00:38:57] You notice...

[00:38:58] Like...

[00:38:59] In his sleeve...

[00:39:00] The slight like...

[00:39:01] Dip...

[00:39:02] Where he just tucked this other die in...

[00:39:06] So Rako is just going to like...

[00:39:08] Quick as a fox...

[00:39:10] Grab his arm and be like...

[00:39:11] Eh...

[00:39:11] Eh...

[00:39:11] What have we here?

[00:39:13] And he's going to reach into his sleeve...

[00:39:15] And grab the other die...

[00:39:17] Whoa...

[00:39:19] This look like...

[00:39:20] Your other die...

[00:39:22] But I tell you what...

[00:39:24] Because you played the game so well...

[00:39:26] What if we both win?

[00:39:28] I give you 100 silver...

[00:39:30] And you tell me what I want to know...

[00:39:32] He exchanges some looks...

[00:39:34] With his barrelmates there...

[00:39:36] And then goes...

[00:39:37] With a wide...

[00:39:38] Like...

[00:39:39] Dirty smile...

[00:39:40] He converses with his barrelmates...

[00:39:42] For a moment...

[00:39:42] And then turns to Rako...

[00:39:44] With a wide grin...

[00:39:45] And says...

[00:39:46] Let's call it a deal...

[00:39:47] Elsewhere in the city...

[00:39:49] Moving north...

[00:39:50] Outside the walls...

[00:39:52] Once more...

[00:39:52] After you cross the bridge...

[00:39:53] From a little canal...

[00:39:54] To...

[00:39:55] The other side...

[00:39:56] Where a river...

[00:39:57] Separates...

[00:39:58] The upper and northern parts...

[00:40:01] Of Porte de Soleil...

[00:40:02] Bread...

[00:40:03] Kayako...

[00:40:04] And Arnor...

[00:40:04] Arrive in...

[00:40:06] The Kennel Ward...

[00:40:07] Which is...

[00:40:08] Situated outside the city's walls...

[00:40:11] And on the northern side of the river...

[00:40:13] And seems to be a bit...

[00:40:14] More neglected...

[00:40:16] Than the rest of the town...

[00:40:17] From what you can garner...

[00:40:18] Just like what you've heard about this place...

[00:40:20] And...

[00:40:21] Your own...

[00:40:22] Fact finding...

[00:40:23] As you've walked over...

[00:40:24] This is kind of where people end up...

[00:40:26] When...

[00:40:27] They're stranded...

[00:40:28] So people who...

[00:40:29] Lose their jobs...

[00:40:31] Or like...

[00:40:31] Default on their contracts...

[00:40:32] Or what have you...

[00:40:33] And are unable to like...

[00:40:35] Make their way back home...

[00:40:36] To Vernaros...

[00:40:37] Since employment...

[00:40:38] In Porte de Soleil...

[00:40:39] And anywhere in the compact...

[00:40:41] Again...

[00:40:41] Is so like...

[00:40:42] Following government mandates...

[00:40:44] And regulations...

[00:40:45] There's almost no...

[00:40:46] Like private enterprise here...

[00:40:48] Outside of...

[00:40:49] Government sanctioned...

[00:40:51] Or subsidized industries...

[00:40:53] So...

[00:40:54] Here...

[00:40:54] All the...

[00:40:56] Dregs...

[00:40:56] Of society...

[00:40:57] Wind up...

[00:40:58] In...

[00:40:58] These just like...

[00:40:59] Tenement halls...

[00:41:01] That are colloquially...

[00:41:02] Called kennels...

[00:41:04] Hence...

[00:41:04] The Kennel Ward...

[00:41:06] Oh...

[00:41:06] That's so sad...

[00:41:07] As we cross the bridge...

[00:41:09] Bread is going to pull his hat up...

[00:41:10] Onto his head...

[00:41:11] So that he...

[00:41:12] Is wearing his very...

[00:41:13] Recognizable...

[00:41:15] Doctor...

[00:41:15] Specifically plague doctor...

[00:41:17] Uniform...

[00:41:17] As Bread does that...

[00:41:19] Arnor...

[00:41:20] Is going to address Bread...

[00:41:21] Bread...

[00:41:22] There are probably many people...

[00:41:24] That will need help...

[00:41:25] We cannot help all of them...

[00:41:27] I'm not saying that...

[00:41:28] You cannot help them...

[00:41:30] In fact...

[00:41:31] I was going to suggest...

[00:41:32] You come here...

[00:41:33] Anyway...

[00:41:34] I think...

[00:41:35] Using your skills...

[00:41:37] As a tool...

[00:41:38] To get information...

[00:41:39] Would be...

[00:41:40] Our best...

[00:41:41] Way for success here...

[00:41:42] I suspect you're probably right...

[00:41:44] It's such a shame...

[00:41:46] Looking at all of them...

[00:41:48] You know...

[00:41:49] I did a lot of work...

[00:41:50] With the American...

[00:41:51] Demlik communities...

[00:41:53] I've seen this before...

[00:41:56] Bread...

[00:41:57] If you need my assistance...

[00:41:58] Please let me know...

[00:42:00] It's just so bad for them...

[00:42:03] Oh my gosh...

[00:42:08] Oh gosh...

[00:42:10] I love Kai...

[00:42:12] She's so nasty...

[00:42:18] I think Bread...

[00:42:20] Will look up at Kai...

[00:42:21] And give her this very like...

[00:42:22] Oh...

[00:42:23] Okay...

[00:42:23] Kind of like...

[00:42:24] Smile...

[00:42:25] Nod...

[00:42:25] Combo...

[00:42:26] Like...

[00:42:26] Of course...

[00:42:27] Absolutely...

[00:42:28] Your majesty...

[00:42:29] Like that is the look...

[00:42:30] That he gives her...

[00:42:33] Good...

[00:42:33] I'm so glad...

[00:42:34] That we're finally...

[00:42:35] On the same page...

[00:42:37] Oh...

[00:42:38] Definitely on it...

[00:42:39] Here...

[00:42:39] Hand me some water...

[00:42:41] Bread will ignore...

[00:42:43] That request outright...

[00:42:45] Lead the way...

[00:42:47] I guess...

[00:42:49] Where to?

[00:42:50] I think...

[00:42:51] I guess we just sort of...

[00:42:52] Troll around until we find...

[00:42:54] Somewhere that looks like...

[00:42:56] It might be...

[00:42:57] For traitors...

[00:42:58] Or...

[00:42:59] We find a pocket of people...

[00:43:00] Who need treatment...

[00:43:01] Like...

[00:43:02] I would assume...

[00:43:03] That anybody...

[00:43:04] Who is sick...

[00:43:05] Would be sort of...

[00:43:05] Quarantined away...

[00:43:06] From everyone else...

[00:43:07] So there's probably a pocket of them...

[00:43:09] Somewhere...

[00:43:10] Um...

[00:43:10] But whichever we come across...

[00:43:12] First...

[00:43:13] You come across...

[00:43:14] A kind of little...

[00:43:15] Commercial pocket...

[00:43:17] Within the ward...

[00:43:18] Rather than...

[00:43:18] The quarantine zone...

[00:43:20] So to speak...

[00:43:21] You come to a...

[00:43:22] Very small...

[00:43:23] Square...

[00:43:24] That's...

[00:43:24] Mostly...

[00:43:25] Dirt road...

[00:43:26] Very like...

[00:43:27] Kind of...

[00:43:27] Unearthed cobbles...

[00:43:29] Littered with hay...

[00:43:30] Animal droppings...

[00:43:32] There's something of a stable...

[00:43:34] On a far end...

[00:43:35] There's a little...

[00:43:36] Two story...

[00:43:36] Tavern...

[00:43:37] That like...

[00:43:38] Doubles as...

[00:43:39] A small inn...

[00:43:40] That has a little thing on the back...

[00:43:41] And then...

[00:43:42] There are some...

[00:43:43] Stalls...

[00:43:44] That have been set up...

[00:43:46] A good half of them...

[00:43:47] Empty...

[00:43:47] And the ones that...

[00:43:49] Are there...

[00:43:49] Don't seem to be attracting...

[00:43:51] Much...

[00:43:51] Business at all...

[00:43:52] Most people that you see...

[00:43:54] Keep their heads down...

[00:43:55] Going to and fro...

[00:43:56] On whatever tasks they have...

[00:43:58] It's not like there's...

[00:43:59] A particularly...

[00:44:00] Clandestine element...

[00:44:02] To all of this...

[00:44:03] It's more so just...

[00:44:04] The downtrodden...

[00:44:05] Yeah...

[00:44:06] I think Brett is very comfortable here...

[00:44:08] To be honest...

[00:44:09] As is Kai...

[00:44:12] In her own...

[00:44:13] Imperious way...

[00:44:15] As she pinches her nose...

[00:44:19] Yeah...

[00:44:19] It's just like...

[00:44:20] Whatever...

[00:44:21] Oh...

[00:44:21] Parasite...

[00:44:22] That movie...

[00:44:23] Just...

[00:44:24] Just kidding...

[00:44:24] That was favorite...

[00:44:25] Oh yeah...

[00:44:26] That was a whack...

[00:44:27] That it is...

[00:44:28] It's a whack...

[00:44:29] Anyways...

[00:44:30] Um...

[00:44:30] Well...

[00:44:31] Kai...

[00:44:32] Is a little perturbed...

[00:44:34] That...

[00:44:35] Bread didn't get her...

[00:44:36] Any water...

[00:44:37] But she'll take out her own...

[00:44:38] Canteen...

[00:44:39] And...

[00:44:40] We'll look for...

[00:44:41] Look around for...

[00:44:42] Probably the most vulnerable...

[00:44:44] Person on the ground...

[00:44:45] And we'll lean down to them...

[00:44:48] And we'll say...

[00:44:49] Here...

[00:44:50] You must be thirsty...

[00:44:52] And she'll open up...

[00:44:54] A cantina opera...

[00:44:55] To whoever that is...

[00:44:57] You spend a good like...

[00:44:58] Two minutes...

[00:44:59] Going around...

[00:45:00] The perimeter...

[00:45:01] Of this square...

[00:45:02] And find...

[00:45:03] The frailest...

[00:45:04] Most sickly looking...

[00:45:06] Elderly man...

[00:45:07] On the planet...

[00:45:08] This guy was there...

[00:45:09] When the compact was formed...

[00:45:10] 600 years ago...

[00:45:11] Type thing...

[00:45:13] He's a human...

[00:45:14] He's...

[00:45:15] Barely more than...

[00:45:16] Skin and bones...

[00:45:17] And he looks up at you...

[00:45:18] And he goes...

[00:45:18] What have you put in this?

[00:45:21] Shhh...

[00:45:22] Don't talk...

[00:45:22] Conserve your energy...

[00:45:24] Please...

[00:45:25] I don't want...

[00:45:26] As you kind of...

[00:45:28] Like put it...

[00:45:28] Into his mouth...

[00:45:33] Kai is the person...

[00:45:35] That goes around...

[00:45:35] Like New York City...

[00:45:36] Or LA...

[00:45:37] With a camera...

[00:45:38] Filming homeless people...

[00:45:39] And like...

[00:45:40] Giving them...

[00:45:41] Like a $2 cheeseburger...

[00:45:42] From McDonald's...

[00:45:43] Being like...

[00:45:43] I'm doing charity...

[00:45:45] That's Kai...

[00:45:46] Yes...

[00:45:48] Yes...

[00:45:49] 100%...

[00:45:50] That's kind of exactly...

[00:45:52] The energy she's got...

[00:45:56] As you stoop...

[00:45:58] As you literally stoop...

[00:46:00] To this man's level...

[00:46:01] And...

[00:46:01] Are force feeding him water...

[00:46:03] You just hear this like...

[00:46:04] Gasp...

[00:46:05] From beside you...

[00:46:07] A little ways away...

[00:46:08] And as you look...

[00:46:09] Chris...

[00:46:10] Kayako sees...

[00:46:12] Two...

[00:46:12] Rather large...

[00:46:14] Elvkin...

[00:46:15] Soldiers...

[00:46:16] In like this...

[00:46:17] Immaculate plate...

[00:46:18] And then between them...

[00:46:20] Is this...

[00:46:21] Well...

[00:46:22] But a little like...

[00:46:23] Daintily...

[00:46:24] Almost scantily...

[00:46:25] Dressed...

[00:46:25] Elvaret woman...

[00:46:26] With her hair done up...

[00:46:27] And this...

[00:46:28] Ridiculously gold...

[00:46:30] Like...

[00:46:30] Beehive thing...

[00:46:31] And she says...

[00:46:32] With a hand to her chest...

[00:46:34] And one just out in front of her...

[00:46:36] Her fingers wiggling...

[00:46:38] Kayako Sloan...

[00:46:40] As I live and breathe...

[00:46:43] I never thought I'd lay eyes...

[00:46:45] On you again...

[00:46:46] But slumming it as usual...

[00:46:48] I should have known...

[00:46:51] Um...

[00:46:52] Kay is still...

[00:46:53] Reaching down...

[00:46:54] She can hear this...

[00:46:55] Initially...

[00:46:56] And her eyes grow wide...

[00:46:58] And the man who's...

[00:46:59] Essentially choking on...

[00:47:01] The water...

[00:47:02] That she's...

[00:47:02] Please stop!

[00:47:05] And she's...

[00:47:08] That she's...

[00:47:10] Forcing him to drink...

[00:47:11] She'll stop it...

[00:47:13] And she'll...

[00:47:14] Slowly turn around...

[00:47:16] And I recognize her...

[00:47:17] I assume...

[00:47:18] Oh yes...

[00:47:18] You recognize her as...

[00:47:20] Marika Tetsinto...

[00:47:23] A...

[00:47:23] Elvoret...

[00:47:24] Noble woman...

[00:47:25] So to speak...

[00:47:27] Philanthropist...

[00:47:28] And...

[00:47:28] All around...

[00:47:29] Terrible person...

[00:47:31] Oh...

[00:47:34] Marika...

[00:47:35] Oh my goodness...

[00:47:37] Marika...

[00:47:37] Marika...

[00:47:38] Is that you?

[00:47:38] I'd give you a hug...

[00:47:40] But...

[00:47:40] I wouldn't want to...

[00:47:41] Really ruin your leather...

[00:47:43] Get up there...

[00:47:43] With my frills...

[00:47:44] Oh...

[00:47:46] Please...

[00:47:46] Don't be ridiculous...

[00:47:48] Just an air kiss...

[00:47:49] On the cheek will do...

[00:47:51] Mwah...

[00:47:51] Mwah...

[00:47:52] And she gives two...

[00:47:53] On the side of her face...

[00:47:55] Mwah...

[00:47:57] Brett is eating this up...

[00:47:59] Marika will like...

[00:48:00] Recoil...

[00:48:01] With each one...

[00:48:02] Just a little bit...

[00:48:03] And then she'll direct...

[00:48:04] Each of her like...

[00:48:05] Bodyguards...

[00:48:06] Left...

[00:48:07] Right...

[00:48:07] Kiss...

[00:48:07] Kiss...

[00:48:25] Mwah...

[00:48:26] This is the first place...

[00:48:28] I would be...

[00:48:29] The front lines...

[00:48:30] On the war...

[00:48:31] Against the poor...

[00:48:33] Well...

[00:48:33] Against poverty...

[00:48:34] I mean...

[00:48:34] As this is going on...

[00:48:48] Arnor turns to bread...

[00:48:50] As they're a little bit away...

[00:48:51] But still in hearing distance...

[00:48:52] He whispers...

[00:48:54] There's another one...

[00:48:55] I'm so sad...

[00:49:01] Kel's not there...

[00:49:02] I know...

[00:49:03] She...

[00:49:04] Marika looks over...

[00:49:05] Kayako's shoulder...

[00:49:06] Seeing bread...

[00:49:08] And...

[00:49:09] Arnor...

[00:49:09] And she's...

[00:49:10] Oh...

[00:49:10] That's so sweet...

[00:49:11] Of you...

[00:49:12] Are you sponsoring...

[00:49:14] Demlik refugees now?

[00:49:17] And I assume...

[00:49:18] The pale one's your hand man...

[00:49:20] Or maiden?

[00:49:22] You're very clearly...

[00:49:23] Dressed as a plague doctor...

[00:49:29] Oh...

[00:49:30] Mosh and gosh...

[00:49:31] Marika...

[00:49:32] You know...

[00:49:32] You just can't keep me away...

[00:49:34] From helping those...

[00:49:35] Who are less fortunate...

[00:49:37] But honestly...

[00:49:38] How long have you been here?

[00:49:39] Well...

[00:49:40] I set out...

[00:49:41] Quite a while ago...

[00:49:43] To do...

[00:49:43] Much and all the same...

[00:49:45] Helping those...

[00:49:46] Less fortunate than we...

[00:49:47] And...

[00:49:48] She leans a little closer...

[00:49:50] There are many...

[00:49:52] Clearly...

[00:49:54] Everybody can hear this...

[00:49:55] I'm assuming...

[00:49:57] Oh yeah...

[00:49:58] Her voice actually increases in volume...

[00:50:02] Please...

[00:50:03] Please...

[00:50:03] Please...

[00:50:04] Why don't we find ourselves a more respectable establishment...

[00:50:08] And...

[00:50:08] I'll treat you to a nice meal...

[00:50:11] You look famished...

[00:50:14] You know...

[00:50:15] It's just so exhausting...

[00:50:17] Leading this war...

[00:50:19] Leading this war...

[00:50:19] Really...

[00:50:20] You know...

[00:50:20] Trying to help people every day...

[00:50:22] I...

[00:50:23] I understand your concern...

[00:50:25] But really...

[00:50:25] The work never stops...

[00:50:27] You know what...

[00:50:28] You're right...

[00:50:28] I can see that you're taking care of yourself...

[00:50:31] I take it back...

[00:50:32] I get a much better look at you in this light...

[00:50:34] I see that you've been keeping yourself well fed...

[00:50:39] Whoa...

[00:50:41] She kind of...

[00:50:43] Ticks her head to the side...

[00:50:44] With that...

[00:50:45] Every sort of...

[00:50:45] Slight...

[00:50:46] You know...

[00:50:46] So it's not very noticeable...

[00:50:48] As do you...

[00:50:50] Watch out...

[00:50:51] You're getting a little chubby...

[00:50:52] Aren't you?

[00:50:54] God damn...

[00:50:55] Whoa...

[00:50:57] She just...

[00:50:58] Came out and said it...

[00:51:00] Lady...

[00:51:01] It's alone...

[00:51:02] Quite so far have you become...

[00:51:04] I must say...

[00:51:05] What a chest...

[00:51:07] You must absolutely...

[00:51:08] Convene with me...

[00:51:10] At my abode this evening...

[00:51:12] And...

[00:51:13] Of course...

[00:51:13] Your compatriots...

[00:51:15] Or...

[00:51:15] Well...

[00:51:16] Whatever you call them...

[00:51:17] Are more than welcome...

[00:51:19] I insist...

[00:51:20] I must...

[00:51:21] I must...

[00:51:21] You see...

[00:51:22] I've something in my possession...

[00:51:23] That belongs to you...

[00:51:25] A gift...

[00:51:26] So to speak...

[00:51:28] That was given to me...

[00:51:30] Before I left Ronaros...

[00:51:31] And the Confederation...

[00:51:33] From your very parents...

[00:51:35] Oh you do...

[00:51:36] What a burden...

[00:51:37] It must have been to...

[00:51:39] Travel with it for this whole time...

[00:51:41] All the way across the ocean...

[00:51:43] Oh...

[00:51:44] It absolutely was dreadful...

[00:51:46] But luckily they paid for the entire thing...

[00:51:48] I'll tell you what...

[00:51:50] There's...

[00:51:50] As you mentioned...

[00:51:51] The work never stops...

[00:51:53] And so there's many things...

[00:51:54] I need to tend to...

[00:51:56] Before I can properly meet up with you...

[00:51:58] How about we meet back at your...

[00:51:59] Tonight...

[00:52:00] 8pm...

[00:52:01] I insist...

[00:52:02] I'll see you there...

[00:52:04] Yes...

[00:52:04] And you lovely folk...

[00:52:06] As well...

[00:52:09] Oh that's very generous of you...

[00:52:11] My lady...

[00:52:11] I'm sorry...

[00:52:12] Did he say something?

[00:52:16] When this woman winds up dead...

[00:52:17] It will be Brad who killed her...

[00:52:22] I'll see you then dearie...

[00:52:24] And please...

[00:52:26] Don't stand me up...

[00:52:27] It'd be very unlady...

[00:52:28] Of course...

[00:52:29] It's not...

[00:52:30] I wouldn't even dream of it...

[00:52:32] I don't mean to pry...

[00:52:34] I really don't...

[00:52:35] But I heard tell...

[00:52:37] That you've some more interesting companions...

[00:52:39] Why don't you bring them along as well?

[00:52:41] Heard tell...

[00:52:42] Where did you hear this from?

[00:52:44] Word travels fast I guess...

[00:52:46] The word is right on your heels...

[00:52:48] Lady Sloan...

[00:52:49] See you at...

[00:52:50] Ta-ta...

[00:52:51] And she'll...

[00:52:52] Tiptoe away...

[00:52:54] Kai with that...

[00:52:55] Will slowly turn around...

[00:52:56] Almost...

[00:52:57] Paralyse a little bit...

[00:52:58] Making very small movements...

[00:53:00] And will inch towards them...

[00:53:02] While saying...

[00:53:03] Looks like I have some engagements tonight...

[00:53:06] I apologize for the intrusion...

[00:53:08] I know that there's so much to do here...

[00:53:11] Well if I heard right...

[00:53:12] It sounds like we all have an engagement tonight...

[00:53:14] Ah yes...

[00:53:15] I suppose if you want to join...

[00:53:18] But honestly...

[00:53:19] It's going to be so boring...

[00:53:20] Us talking about our lives...

[00:53:22] Growing up...

[00:53:23] As children together...

[00:53:25] You don't want to be there...

[00:53:26] I rather enjoyed that display...

[00:53:28] I bet you did...

[00:53:29] Now...

[00:53:30] I've been very respectful...

[00:53:32] Of your private lives...

[00:53:35] I would ask you to be...

[00:53:38] Even more respectful...

[00:53:40] Of my private life...

[00:53:42] This will be an engagement...

[00:53:43] That I will be joining...

[00:53:45] Alone...

[00:53:46] If you're intent on embarrassing yourself...

[00:53:48] By not fulfilling your commitments...

[00:53:49] Go right ahead Kai...

[00:53:51] Not at all...

[00:53:52] I will just be fulfilling them...

[00:53:54] On my own...

[00:53:55] Sure...

[00:53:56] I hope you have a wonderful time at dinner...

[00:53:58] Kai...

[00:53:58] To be honest...

[00:53:59] I was quite surprised...

[00:54:01] That there is somebody...

[00:54:02] That I find even more...

[00:54:03] Uh...

[00:54:04] Special than you...

[00:54:06] Oh come on Arnor...

[00:54:07] You can do better than that...

[00:54:08] I do believe that there's...

[00:54:10] Very many people around us...

[00:54:12] Suffering...

[00:54:13] It's...

[00:54:13] An insult for you...

[00:54:15] To bring this up at this time...

[00:54:16] Let's carry on...

[00:54:18] I think Fred laughs out loud...

[00:54:21] And will nod...

[00:54:22] And walk away...

[00:54:23] Like okay bye...
