Episode Transcript

Skylar (00:10):
Hello, weary traveler. I'm not
sure what strange magic must
have brought you here, but you
have stepped into a realm of
my creation. A, ah, sprawling
city filled with danger and
glory and most importantly,
lots of gold. I call it I La
Nomis. Who am I, you might
ask? The name is Jarjev, and

(00:31):
I'm the patron deity of
gambling. Long story short,
this group of idiots, or as
you may call them, heroes,
made a bet with me that they
had what it took to make a
vast trove of gold, but left
some of the key details blank.
So I filled them in myself. I
sent them to this pocket
dimension into the city I had

(00:53):
created with brand new bodies
they'd have to attune to. Can
these fools pass my test? Or
will they be trapped here
forever? So experience my
world of trials and
tribulations and join
alongside this posse of
pitiful people, or as I like
to call them, the criminals of

(01:13):
Isla Numis.
Welcome back everybody, to
another episode of.
The Criminals of Isla Numis.
Joining me today are the
regular players.
But I'll announce them anyway
and go through them.
first of all, to my right, as
per the usual, we got Dave,
who's playing Maki, the shadow
sorcerer, Kenku of Shadows.

(01:34):
next to him you've got Fatty
Lumpkins, who is playing Kido,
the lizard folk fighter slash
barbarian. Now, so he is the
muscle of the gang. Following
on we've got Jackson, who's
playing dez, who is the silent
hunter of the group. He's also
a Kenku. Next, we've got
Cameron, who's playing Rorick,

(01:56):
the goblin trickster of the
crew. The jack of all trades,
one might say. Slowly growing
in those, those trades that
he's capable of. And finally,
last but not least, we have
our ex npc. Well, sorry, we
have Quinn playing our ex npc,
Lil Sauce. With that being
said, we're gonna jump right
into this brand new episode

(02:18):
of.
Criminals of Isla Numis.

Quinn (02:20):
Foreign.

Skylar (02:26):
Guys, where we last left off.
You guys had received or found
a note on Radicus's person
when you defeated him that
said next supply tomorrow
night at the Rock Bottoms
club. Signed Cheeky McCool.
Now, you guys discovered the
teleportation circle that
Radicus had hidden away where

(02:46):
he was sending the bones, that
he had procured from his
various dealings, with members
of the Scroungers, sending
them off to. And you guys used
the rocky talkie to sort of
find out where those were
going in a clever way. And
through that you guys ended up
at a strange ritual From a

(03:07):
cult of the ascendants, as
they kind of were referring to
themselves, seeking the chosen
one, allegedly. Which you
discovered that at the very
least, DEZ is not apparently.
with that being said, you guys
were able to get your rocky
talkie back. You got a strange
robotic thing and you also got
a little bit of information
here and there. But whatever
the case, you guys are now

(03:27):
headed to the Rock Bottoms
nightclub in the Mediumville
district, which ironically is
where Little Sauce's house is.
So it's kind of nice to be in
the same neighborhood knowing
that you can get home after
you're done with things.
In theory.
with that being said, Lil
Sauce, you know, at least
something you're aware to some
extent of. the Rock Bottoms
Club, you probably honestly

(03:48):
even been in there in the.
Yeah, yeah.
Checking on some questionable
figures. This is the
Medianville district as a
whole is a place where a lot
of questionable individuals go
to do their dealings. it's
kind of a poorer district.
There's just a lot of kind of
rugged, rowdy characters
around these parts. So of
course that means that the

(04:08):
Rock Bottoms Club, being a
pretty popular entertainment
spot, attracts a lot of these
individuals. There's also the
fact that there's an
organization within the Rock
Bottom Club known as the
Rocks. Sort of a gang in and
of itself that does, kind of
some Robin Hood esque
activities. Right. They're bad
guys, but allegedly they're

(04:29):
doing it for the right
reasons. But then of course,
within those situations, you
always have those guys that
are doing bad things for bad
reasons under their name. And
then things get complic. Loot
and a messy. You know, it
happens. It happens in every,
every movie that we've seen
where there's crime and
somebody's trying to do it for
good reason. Breaking Bad,
great example, right? The
whole concept of you keep

(04:51):
doing more and more bad things
for good reasons, allegedly,
and inevitably it becomes bad
things for bad reasons and
then, then you die. But
anyway, sorry I spoiled all of
Breaking Bad for everybody
that's listening, man. No,
whatever the case, you guys
are headed to Rock Bottoms
Club. And sure enough, there's
a long, long line outside of
the club. Inside you can see a

(05:11):
little bit of flashing lights.
You can hear some intense,
epic, throbbing music. there's
a big burly bugbear standing
outside.

Quinn (05:20):
His name Grizzle Toothpaste.

Skylar (05:21):
His name is Grizzle Tooth. And
you guys recognize him from
the Minotaur races especially.
Roerich recognizes him because
you had a full conversation
with this guy and his Duergar,
buddy. They offer you some
tips and tricks.

Cameron (05:36):
Yeah, I asked them for advice.

Skylar (05:38):
So seeing the giant line,
seeing the bug bear, who you
are familiar with, what do you
guys do?

Cameron (05:43):
Line for what? The club.

Skylar (05:45):
how?

Cameron (05:45):
People just walking into this.

Skylar (05:47):
No, no, no, there's like a
line. You know, he's got like
a lit. Like a clipboard. He's
looking over his list. He's,
you know, there's a guy in.

Cameron (05:54):
The front who's like, you have
to let me in. Do you know who
my parents are?

Skylar (05:58):
And he's like, I really don't
care who your parents are.
you're not on the list. So
you'll get in when there's a
vacancy. This isn't fair.

Bill (06:06):
My.

Cameron (06:07):
My father will hear of this.

Skylar (06:08):
And then the guy, like, leaves
line and he's got like, I
don't know, two babes with
him. I don't know, that just
seems typical.

Cameron (06:15):
That makes sense.

Skylar (06:16):
But I mean, the line takes a
step forward and it looks just
as long as it was when the guy
and his babes were in there.
So it really, it didn't change
anything.

Cameron (06:25):
DEZ is having the very strong
urge just to walk through the
door and, like, do finger guns
and click at the. The door
guard guy.

Skylar (06:33):
There's a. Yeah, the door
guard.

Cameron (06:35):
Yeah.

Skylar (06:35):
Sound like you said doer
guard. And I was like, well,
the door guard's the other
guy.

Cameron (06:38):
Do, the.

Skylar (06:39):
This is the bug bear.

Cameron (06:40):
Oh, yeah, the bug bear is the
bouncer.

Skylar (06:42):
Yes.

Cameron (06:42):
Oh, but I don't see his door
guard buddy.

Skylar (06:44):
No, I go.

Quinn (06:45):
I, mean, I'll go over to him.

Cameron (06:46):
I rolls.

Quinn (06:47):
He knows me.

Skylar (06:48):
Did you talk to him?

Quinn (06:49):
He knows me.

Skylar (06:50):
Well, I mean, like. Yeah.

Cameron (06:51):
Yeah.

Skylar (06:51):
Okay. So you've met him?

Quinn (06:52):
I've been there.

Cameron (06:53):
Oh, yeah, But I know his name.

Skylar (06:55):
He, probably introduced
himself. Yes.

Quinn (06:56):
There are people who I need to
stay away from in here, but
there's also more people that
I need that are friendly with
me than are not friendly with
me.

Skylar (07:04):
Okay.

Quinn (07:04):
Going to go up to Grizzle
Tooth.

Skylar (07:06):
Yeah.

Quinn (07:06):
Hey, Grizz. What's going on,
man?

Skylar (07:09):
Little sauce. What are you
doing?

Quinn (07:12):
I got some business to take
care of.

Skylar (07:14):
Interesting.

Quinn (07:14):
Got me my group.

Skylar (07:15):
You know, I might just be a
simple bugbear bouncer, but I
saw in the newspaper the other
day that, Blank Space isn't
really in a position of
authority anymore. Not to be
that guy.

Quinn (07:28):
I don't work for Blank Space
anymore.

Skylar (07:30):
Oh, well, I'm not to be that
guy. But if that's the case. I
mean, your name's not on the
list.

Quinn (07:42):
50 gold.

Skylar (07:44):
M. Okay, okay. roll a
persuasion.
Persuasion.
I'll give you a persuasion
with advantage.

Cameron (07:51):

Skylar (07:53):
okay. Yeah, you can go.

Cameron (07:55):
All right.

Skylar (07:55):
And he pockets the small sack
of 50 gold.

Quinn (07:59):
This covers me and all my.

Cameron (08:00):
You say that you.

Skylar (08:01):
You say this covers you and
all your friends. He looks
over and he goes, wait a
minute.
I remember you. You were at
the minotaur races.

Cameron (08:09):
Sup, Grizz? Hey, and thanks to
your advice, my two buddies
took first and second.

Skylar (08:15):
I saw em there.

Cameron (08:16):
Put my hands on both their
backs.

Skylar (08:19):
Well, hey, what took you so
long to take me up on my offer
to come by the club?

Cameron (08:24):
Well, wait a minute. I got

Cameron (08:35):

minotaur raises?

Cameron (09:42):
The worst fate any person can
go through, really. Court.

Skylar (09:47):
Oh, I was just gonna ask if

Cameron (09:52):
Court's way worse.

Skylar (09:54):
Got you on the jury duty three
days.

Skylar (10:48):
Oh, he's probably. They're

corners. Corner tables.

Quinn (10:52):
Of course. And I know. I know
you're not gonna. I know
you're not gonna tell me
because you never do. You
never have Gravestone around.

Skylar (10:59):
Well, as far as anyone's
concerned, Gravestone's always
around. You just don't see
him.

Quinn (11:05):
Never?

Skylar (11:05):
Nope.

Quinn (11:06):
Have you seen him?

Skylar (11:07):
I see Gravestone just about
every day. We have a morning
meeting every day, prepping
for the club activities.

Quinn (11:12):
You think I, You get me in as
a hire. Potentially a hire.

Skylar (11:16):
You want to get a job here?

Quinn (11:18):
a job.

Cameron (11:19):
You know, I don't know what
that means.

Quinn (11:20):
I. I'm doing air quotation.

Skylar (11:22):
I see that. I don't know what
that means.

Quinn (11:24):
I'm, don't actually. I'm not
actually gonna have a job. And
you want to meet this guy, so
I'm gonna do what it takes to
get him. Not those
airportations.

Skylar (11:32):
Well, I'll see what I can do
for you. I tell you what. You
go in, you talk to. Tell. Tell
Dusty. Tell Dusty, about this
whole. That you guys were the
guys at the court trial. I'll
see what I can do as far as
Gravestone, but I can't make
any problems. He's a busy.

Cameron (11:47):
He's a.

Quinn (11:48):
Do you know of any activities,
he's been up to lately?

Skylar (11:51):
Graystone?
Yeah.

Cameron (11:52):
Ah.

Skylar (11:52):
Well, I mean, I know.

Quinn (11:54):
You know.

Skylar (11:54):
You know, that's the stuff I'm
not supposed to talk about.

Quinn (11:57):
I know, but we're. We're best
friends here.

Skylar (12:01):
He said I was 6 on his list.

Cameron (12:03):
He got moved up.

Quinn (12:04):
Hey, tell. Tell him we're
going out to one.

Cameron (12:05):
I don't want to talk about
this stuff. It sounds boring.
Hey, what I do want to know
is, is Gavin in there?

Skylar (12:12):
He looks at his list.
I don't see a Gavin.

Cameron (12:15):
Oh, dang it. He owes me Five,
Bull.

Skylar (12:20):
Look, rock bottom's business
stays between the rocks. You
know what I mean? So, I mean,
unless you're gonna try to
join the rocks, then. but I
don't think we got any
openings right now. You know,
Sprout, that kid trying to get
on the. Trying to get on the
rocks, you know, he's. He's
trying so hard, but, you know,
Graystone won't have it, so I

(12:41):
don't think there's any
openings right now. I'll be
honest with you.

Quinn (12:43):
Sprout's a good kid.

Skylar (12:45):
Yeah, a little misguided, but,
yeah, he's a good kid.

Quinn (12:49):
He just wants to be accepted.

Skylar (12:50):
Yep.

Cameron (12:51):
Yep.

Skylar (12:52):
Anyway, going in, like I said,
let Dusty know that you guys
were the guys behind the whole
thing. That's hilarious.

Cameron (12:58):
hey, is this guy wearing a
belt?

Quinn (13:00):
Yeah.

Cameron (13:01):
I'm gonna very discreetly just
flick my wand at it.

Skylar (13:05):
Oh. To see if it falls off.

Cameron (13:06):
See if it falls off.

Skylar (13:07):
Titans.

Cameron (13:08):
Oh, God.

Skylar (13:08):
One or the other.

Cameron (13:09):
And he's not gonna know. Odds,
Titan, evens, Loosen.

Skylar (13:12):
Okay.
Yeah.
as long as we establish
beforehand it loosens.
He goes, whoa.
And his pants fall down onto
the ground.
He goes, you know.
You know.

Quinn (13:21):
Got them.

Skylar (13:23):
You guys didn't see that?
And he looks over, and there's
this entire line of people
that are all just, like.
With the, like, mouths of
Gape. And he's like, yeah,
this isn't going.
To get you in.

Quinn (13:34):
Hi, my man.

Skylar (13:35):
All right, have a good.
He's. He's fixing his pants,
man.
It just won't.

Cameron (13:39):
It just won't.

Skylar (13:41):
This is weird.
He's just holding. He's just
got one, hand, like, holding
his pants up. Right now.

Cameron (13:46):
He can't even check the list.
He doesn't know.
Oh, shoot, so many people are
going to get in. We're going
to be so overcrowded.
Or not get in.

Quinn (13:53):
No, they're just going to
knock it in.

Skylar (13:55):
Yeah.
Nobody gets in.

Cameron (13:56):
Doors closed. Nobody's getting
in until someone brings me a
new belt. And then they get
in. Everyone just takes off.

Skylar (14:03):
Yeah, whoever gives me your
belt gets to get in.

Cameron (14:06):
And, like, one guy's like, oh,
I'll do it.

Skylar (14:08):
And he just takes his belt off
and hands it to him.
He's like, all right, fair is
fair.
You guys head on into the. The
club. And like I said, you
know, it's. It's your classic,
like, club scene from any
movie. There's bright lights,
there's throbbing music, very,
like, upbeat. There's a big
dance floor where there's
people doing that, like, dance
where you keep your elbows
close because like, otherwise
it's so crowded in the dance

(14:29):
floor that you. You'd end up
smacking somebody in the face
if you let your hands go out
too high. there's people with
these, like, wands that are
enchanted with the light
spell. And so they just look
like glow sticks, and they're
just moving those around. It's
the only thing that these
wands do. But there's, you
know, like a bunch of people
have them. Some people have
enchanted, like, bracelets

(14:49):
that do the same thing, and
they're just doing their
dance. there's a variety of
tables. They're more like
booths almost, that kind of
surround the dance area. And
then in the back, you see sort
of two hallways that lead off.
One that has a sign that
suggests there's restrooms
down the hallway. The other
one is, you're not sure about
actually, if Little Sauce
would know, is the, like,

(15:10):
private rooms. And then there
is a door and it just says
employees only. But otherwise
that's. That's a basic
description. And then right as
you enter, to the right of you
guys, there's a nice big bar.
there's stools at the bar.
Obviously, there's like tons
of bottles, different kinds of
alcohol behind the bar. And
then additionally behind the
bar, you have a duer guard

(15:30):
who's standing there and he's
cleaning something up. And
then there's this guy that
walks up and like, motions,
and so he turns around, he
starts making this guy some
drinks.

Quinn (15:38):
I'm a big, big fan of Rusty.

Skylar (15:41):
Right on.

Quinn (15:42):
Dusty.

Skylar (15:43):
And yeah, I was gonna say, you
recognize is Rusty. Sorry, I
may have said Dusty by
accident. Some friend.

Cameron (15:47):
I tell him.

Skylar (15:48):
you also recognize him. He was
the other guy at the Minotaur
race.

Cameron (15:51):
You need to constantly mess up
his name now. Oh, no, always
something different.

Skylar (15:55):
Busty.

Cameron (15:56):
Hey, how you doing?

Quinn (15:58):
Busty, I think, I think.

Skylar (16:00):
Oh, nobody's called me Busty
and Quaid sometimes. Oh, hey,
I, recognize you as.

Cameron (16:05):
I was struggling to get on the
stool.

Skylar (16:06):
Yeah, Climbing up all awkward.

Cameron (16:11):
That's me. I like one large
mojito.

Skylar (16:16):
Oh, sure, sure.
Mojito.
Here you go.

Cameron (16:18):
And I don't know w. That was
fast.

Skylar (16:21):
I've got them pre made under
the bar.

Cameron (16:24):
That's good business, Crusty.

Skylar (16:26):
I'll start a tab for you boys.

Quinn (16:28):
I'm going to go seek out
Whisper.

Skylar (16:29):
Okay, so you. You go off into
the crowd.

Quinn (16:31):
If anybody wants to come with
me, you can.

Cameron (16:33):
DEZ is going to wander into
the employees only door.
Maky will grab a drink and
follow Sauce. my mojit. Hey,
it's on the tab. It's all
good. Just get another one.

Skylar (16:49):
They're pre made.

Cameron (16:50):
He just picks one up his hand,
like, fine, give me another
one. keto grabs it.

Skylar (16:56):
Oh, come on.

Cameron (16:58):
Roerich looks around to make
sure no one else is gonna grab
it.

Skylar (17:03):
He's already partially. He's
halfway reached under the
counter.
He's like, oh, you do okay.
You do.

Cameron (17:09):
In his best DJ Khaled
oppression. another one.

Skylar (17:12):
He hands you another one. So,
okay, you, went with dez,
right? Maki Sauce. Oh, you
went with Sauce to go find.

Cameron (17:19):
Where'd you go? You just told
my drink.

Quinn (17:21):
I think I just took me to.

Cameron (17:22):
Drink and stood there next to
you.

Skylar (17:23):
All right, so the two of you.
That are at the bar, the doer
guard, he. He leans and he
says, so, what brings you boys
to the bar? What took you so
long?
We've been waiting for you
guys.

Cameron (17:31):
Funny story. Yeah. Worst fate
anyone can experience, really.
Court duty.

Skylar (17:37):
Oh, court, duty.
I hate doing jury duty.

Cameron (17:41):
Oh, we weren't on jury. We
were on trial.

Skylar (17:43):
Whoa.
Really defending or defending
really.

Cameron (17:46):
Got charged with a lot of
stuff. got him off on
Amendment 28. That's right.

Quinn (17:50):
Wait, what?

Cameron (17:51):
You didn't.

Skylar (17:51):
You did the 28th Amendment?

Cameron (17:52):
No, just feather McGregor or
little sauce. Oh, Little
Souls.

Skylar (17:56):
Yeah, I knew that guy.

Cameron (17:57):
He had to do the Coliseum
fight against that allosaur a
couple days back.

Quinn (18:01):
No.

Skylar (18:02):
Yeah, that was him.

Cameron (18:04):
Yeah, that was him.

Skylar (18:05):
Wait a minute. All right, you
gotta tell me truth. Was he
the one that blew up the
Coliseum?
Nope.

Bill (18:09):
Really?

Skylar (18:10):
Nope. That was a separate
incident.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
Let me ask you this.
Who fired the Arrow into the.
That was.

Cameron (18:16):
I didn't know the rules. I'm
new here. You knew that. I
told you that the race.

Skylar (18:21):
That's true.

Cameron (18:21):
That's true.

Skylar (18:22):
Well, I wasn't at the. I
wasn't at the Coliseum to warn
you against it. It was a good
eight. You know, if you came
by the club sooner, maybe we'd
be friends.
We'd be hanging out the coast.

Cameron (18:30):
We were friends. Well, yeah.

Skylar (18:32):
I mean, I'm just saying, like,
we go out and do stuff.
We could have made plans.

Cameron (18:35):
Oh, it's true. You're
probably. He's probably a lot.
I'm like, looking at kiddo,
he's probably a lot cooler to
hang out with than little
size, if you ask me. Probably
we would have avoided that
whole puppet fiasco mess Died.

Skylar (18:50):
Yeah.

Cameron (18:51):
Yeah, the dude cross dressed
for a couple days. I did.
Really silly frilly Willy Fry.

Skylar (18:57):
Frilly silly Will.

Cameron (18:58):
Eh, close enough.

Skylar (19:00):
Yeah.

Cameron (19:06):
He.

Skylar (19:06):
He like looks both ways and
he's like.
I mean, y. We deal in a couple
of things here in the club.
What are you looking for? I'm
usually not the guy to.

Cameron (19:14):
Talk to about it, but, this is
not you. I think it's called
Euphinage. Euphoria. Oh,
spinach. Was that the stone?

Quinn (19:22):
No, that's.

Skylar (19:23):
Oh, I can't get your spinach.
That's stuff pretty.

Cameron (19:25):
Oh, don't worry, we got plenty
of it. When we beat killed.
What's his name?

Quinn (19:29):
King.

Cameron (19:30):
King. King. No, Fortunate
Fortunis. King M. Fortunis?
Yes, we killed King Fortunis.
Oh, yeah. No. Oh, yeah, we've
been up.

Skylar (19:42):
Now I know you're yanking.

Cameron (19:44):
No, we've been up to a lot of
height.

Skylar (19:45):
Now I know you're pulling me
leg.

Cameron (19:47):
No, now I know.

Skylar (19:48):
Now.
Now I know you're.
You're slapping me silly.

Cameron (19:51):
Did I get a part of him?
Didn't someone get a belt? He
got his belt. Oh, wait, I took
the belt, didn't I? Wait, who
took the belt? Someone's
wearing the belt. I might have
taken and put in my bag of
holding. Cuz didn't that belt
replace your electric belt?
Yeah, so I think Roark has it.

Skylar (20:07):
Oh, okay.

Cameron (20:08):
Cuz I wanted to take something
from each monster we killed as
proof in case of Hal
Hippodrome showed up and be
like I killed them like you
told me to. So I kept the head
of the. One of the heads.

Skylar (20:20):
Yep. Which is back at Lil
Sausage's house.

Cameron (20:21):
Oh, it's in my bag of holding.

Skylar (20:23):
Oh, all right.

Cameron (20:23):
Everything. We captured a lot.
Put it in the basement. Oh,
yeah, that's. But I also kept
the separate head for myself.
Sure. And I also kept the belt
so I had proof that I killed
these things. Okay, okay, so
I. I pull out the belt and I
hold it up.

Skylar (20:37):
And he goes, no way. And he.
He takes out like one of those
little like monocle things
that like jewelers use. And he
goes. He's looking at it.
And he goes, no, that's a
genuine Fortunis belt right
there.

Cameron (20:47):
Fortunis fortunes.

Skylar (20:50):
My gods.

Cameron (20:52):
So yeah, we got plenty of
spinach.

Skylar (20:54):
Well, I bet you do. Hey, don't
be waving that stuff around.
You'll get yourself in a lot
of trouble.

Cameron (20:59):
Oh, I don't use it. I sells
it.

Skylar (21:01):
Well, don't do that here.

Cameron (21:02):
Or was it planning on it?

Skylar (21:03):
Moonglow will be on your butt
about that moonhole.
Got it.

Cameron (21:07):
Okay. so. And he looks at
Kido. He goes, I don't
remember why we were here.
Looking for Euphoria. Ah, we
don't want. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Is it out loud? Really loud.

Skylar (21:17):
Hold on there. You shouldn't
be here. Looking for eu. Let
me tell you, you won't find
Euphoria here. Gravestone has
explicitly banned any
euphoria, in Rock Bottom's
club.

Cameron (21:29):
Oh, that's important to know.
Who's Gravestone?

Skylar (21:31):
He's the boss. He's the enemy.

Cameron (21:33):
Okay. Oh, he runs the club.

Skylar (21:34):
Yeah, he runs the club. And he
explicitly says every. Every
morning. During our morning
meetings, he explicitly
reminds us, I, don't want a
sea. Any euphoria in this
club.

Cameron (21:47):
So.

Quinn (21:47):
Non euphoria.

Cameron (21:48):
20% markup on spinach. Well,
among other drugs, spinach is
pretty.

Skylar (21:54):
Recognizably, banned across
all of Iowa. Numis. Euphoria
is a bit new. And so, the
rules. I mean, it's illegal,
but I just mean, like, in the.
In the down low, right? It's a
little bit, unregulated.

Cameron (22:09):
Yeah, but I don't.

Skylar (22:10):
The gravestones made his
stance pretty. Pretty
poignant.

Cameron (22:15):
I'll be honest. I don't
remember why we're here.

Quinn (22:19):
Kido.

Skylar (22:19):
Do you?
Why do you want we? You're
trying to get Euphoria.

Cameron (22:23):
We were trying to track down
someone. I don't really know.
This is all has to do. Yet
again, we are stuck on another
little sauce adventure. I
never know where we're going
with these things, and I only
do it because I'm bored, and
it usually leads to me killing
something. And so that's why
I'm here.

Skylar (22:42):
Well, there's always plenty of
people here at Rockbotun.

Cameron (22:45):
Oh, to kill.

Skylar (22:46):
Oh, well, maybe.

Cameron (22:48):
Are there bounties? Oh, we
could pick up a bounty. I
haven't done that area.

Skylar (22:52):
If you want to get bounties,
you'd be better off probably
at the Mercenaries Guild.
But with that being said, I
mean, there's. There's so
much.

Cameron (23:00):
What if we became. And, I'm
pointing at Kido and do this
wobble became hitman for
Gravestone. Well, I could do
some hitting. Where are the
two strongest members of the
group?

Skylar (23:10):
To be honest, I'm not saying
it's a bad idea. And I'm not
saying that Gravestone one
doesn't have need for, an
occasional orphan. but with
that being said, I don't know
if there's any openings in the
Rocks right now. We got,

Cameron (23:21):
Well, we're really good at
making openings.

Skylar (23:24):
Are you saying you've got to
kill members?

Cameron (23:26):
No, I wouldn't say. I wouldn't
say that.

Skylar (23:29):
Well, I hope you're not.
I'm a member of the Rocks,
sir.

Cameron (23:33):
Wouldn't start with you to be.

Skylar (23:34):
Well, you wouldn't start with
me, would you? End with me.

Cameron (23:37):
I'm joking. Just joking. I'm
just joking.

Skylar (23:41):
You're just poking my m.
Tummy.

Cameron (23:43):
Oh, yes, that's right. Get
busty.

Skylar (23:46):
You're just sticking your
finger in me nose. Okay, hold
on now.
It's a, euphemism. It's not
literal.

Cameron (23:53):
I'm new.

Skylar (23:53):
Yeah, well, let me tell you
these. If you're looking for
some kind of work, maybe in a
little bit down low again, I
mean, there's plenty of people
you could talk to here. Right
here at the Rock Bottoms.
probably here tonight. In
fact, Oh, let's see. You got.
Well, whisper.

Cameron (24:09):
No, I mean, like, tell me the
name of the coolest one and
I'll just go directly to them
because don't waste my time
naming multiple names. I'll
forget all of them but the
cool one.

Skylar (24:19):
That's really tricky to say.
Dino.

Cameron (24:21):
Dino is Dino.

Skylar (24:23):
Sounds pretty cool guy.

Cameron (24:24):
What do you think, Kido? Dino
sounds.

Skylar (24:25):
He's a smuggler.

Cameron (24:27):
Oh, I used to be a smuggler.

Skylar (24:29):
Oh, well, there you go.
It's perfect.

Cameron (24:31):
Back when I was a pirate, if I
had a nickel for every time
you talked about your pirate
life, you'd be a rich. I'd be
out of this pocket dimension.

Skylar (24:39):
What's a nickel?

Cameron (24:40):
I think you mean copper piece.
That's. I think that's how the
expression goes. If I had a
copper piece.

Skylar (24:45):
I'll tell you what. If you
want to talk to Dino, you give
it about, like, three minutes,
he'll be right back over here
at the bar. He's a heavy
drinker.

Cameron (24:52):
Oh, fine. That's. I wasn't
planning on leaving here
anyways.

Skylar (24:55):
Perfect.

Cameron (24:55):
Well, Roerich will match him
one for one. That's not true.
I used to. Back when I was.
See that anymore.

Skylar (25:03):
All right. Myself, I don't
drink. I'm six years older.

Cameron (25:06):
Good for you.

Skylar (25:07):
Thank you. Thank you.
Not that I'm counting.

Cameron (25:09):
Well, that's fine. Yeah.

Skylar (25:10):
I just want to make sure
that's emphasized.

Cameron (25:11):
Hey, whatever gets those
steps.

Skylar (25:13):
That's right. That's right.
Good friend, Grizzle Tooth out
there. He's. He keeps me
honest.

Cameron (25:18):
He's a nice guy.

Skylar (25:19):
Oh, he's the best guy. He's my
best friend.

Cameron (25:21):
How many people does he knock
out on a regular basis? Yeah,
well, quite a few. Oh, that's
cool.

Skylar (25:26):
Yeah, he. He's always got my
back. I've got his back. We've
gotten in a.

Cameron (25:29):
How many guys knockout on a
regular basis?

Skylar (25:31):
Probably a good dozen.
Wait, on a nightly basis?

Cameron (25:33):
Yeah.

Skylar (25:35):
Yeah, about a dozen.

Cameron (25:36):
This club's great.

Skylar (25:37):
You get the. You get these
troublemakers that come up
here. They order something
absolutely ridiculous, and
then they're all snooty about
it, and you just got to punch
them in the face, you know?

Cameron (25:44):
And Rorg, like, kind of stands
up on his stool and, like,
puffs out his chest a little.
Let me see how nice
intimidating this looks. Yeah,
that's an 11. You think I
would make a ideal, bouncer
for this club?

Skylar (25:57):
Well, if you killed King
Fortunes and you wore his
belt, you might just fit in.

Cameron (26:03):
Look at that. Of course, I
wasn't the one that based it
in melee combat. I did mostly
range, you know.

Skylar (26:11):
You know, we tried. We tried
once upon a time. While,
Grizzletooth and I were on
vacation, they tried to do a
ranged bouncer.

Cameron (26:18):
That doesn't work.

Skylar (26:18):
Doesn't work. Does not work.

Cameron (26:20):
That's why Keto here, he's the
muscle. Yeah, I'm the brain,
all right.

Skylar (26:26):
Brains in the brawny.

Cameron (26:27):
Look, he looks so happy about
this. I'll let it slide a hell
of.

Skylar (26:31):
A smolder, that's for sure.

Cameron (26:32):
He practices in the Mayor.

Skylar (26:34):
All right, so with that, I'm
gonna cut over to dez, who's
making his way towards the
employee only's area.

Cameron (26:42):
Strutting through the door.

Skylar (26:46):
Well, it's locked.

Cameron (26:47):
Oh, it's locked.

Skylar (26:48):
As per.
You know, any employee.

Cameron (26:49):
Only door m. Can I pick the
lock?

Skylar (26:53):
Do you have lock picking
stuff?

Cameron (26:55):
Thought so.
Let me look at my. My bag.

Skylar (26:57):
Look at this backpack. Take a
little peek in your pouch.

Bill (27:02):
You know what?

Skylar (27:03):
I don't.

Cameron (27:04):
I don't have any lock picking
kits.

Skylar (27:06):
Angry doesn't have lock pick.
He just punches the door.
Dang it.

Cameron (27:10):
Let me end.

Skylar (27:11):
I will say though, again, to
your right, the bathroom area
for whatever excitement that
might suggest. And then to
your left is, you. Actually.
You look down the left hallway
and you notice that what it
is, is, several curtained
rooms, okay? Sort of like
private rooms that people can
have for, like, private doing,
like, who knows what kind of

(27:32):
dealings or whatever go on
behind those curtains.

Cameron (27:35):
There's a lockdown walk down
the private alley.

Quinn (27:38):
Okay?

Cameron (27:38):
You know, ooze, got cape.
It's a. It's a bunch of
curtained off rooms, right?

Skylar (27:45):
Yeah.

Cameron (27:45):
I'm gonna peek, through a
curtain. Let's say it's a long
hallway, right?

Skylar (27:49):
Okay.
Yeah.

Cameron (27:50):
Third curtain on the left.

Quinn (27:52):
All right.

Skylar (27:53):
Third curtain on the left.

Quinn (27:54):
Yeah.

Cameron (27:55):
Come up with that one. DM on
the fly, dude.

Skylar (27:58):
On the fly.
It's the mayor.

Cameron (28:00):
It's the mayor in a Scandalous
Husband.

Skylar (28:05):
okay.

Quinn (28:05):
Yeah.

Skylar (28:05):
You peek your head through the
third one. You see a. Oh, is a
female duergar.

Cameron (28:11):
Okay.

Skylar (28:11):
And she has this, like, huge
stack of papers in front of
her. And she has one paper,
and she's just, like,
furiously scribbling away. And
then she sets it aside, and
then she grabs another one off
the top of the. The stack. And
then she's furiously doing
that. And you notice that she
has a paper that's in front of
where she's, like, doing all

(28:32):
the scribbling and stuff. And
you glance in and you can see
that it looks like she's
duplicating whatever that one
main document is.

Quinn (28:41):
Okay.

Skylar (28:42):
She's just making, like,
duplicate copies of these. And
she's like, in her. She's
like, in the zone. She doesn't
even notice that you're.

Cameron (28:49):
I want that original copy. I
want that. I want that copy.

Skylar (28:53):
Oh, my gosh.

Quinn (28:55):
Here's,

Skylar (28:55):
And I have to come up with
what it is.

Cameron (28:59):
Here's what I'm going to do.
All right, I'm going to throw,
first of all, bag, of tricks.
Oh, I'm going to my.
My best distraction. I'm going
to throw a fuzzy ball. Bag of
tricks.

Skylar (29:13):
Yes.

Cameron (29:13):
I'm going to aim the ball
behind her. It's a small room,
but it's still, like, in the
corner behind her.

Quinn (29:19):
Sure.

Cameron (29:19):
and it spawns a ax beak.

Skylar (29:23):
Oh, my gosh. With wings in the
room.

Cameron (29:27):
and when that spawns, DEZ is
also going to just snatch.

Skylar (29:30):
Wait, just lunging and.

Cameron (29:32):
Yeah, dez, like, locks in,
right? He locks in. He's got
his superpowers.

Skylar (29:37):
And he just goes, absolutely.
All right, do me a stealth
with advantage. Since you
created a distraction.

Cameron (29:58):
Oh.

Quinn (29:58):
Oh.

Cameron (29:59):
25.

Skylar (30:00):
Holy crap. Okay.
Yeah.
You snatched that document
while your, ax beak is just in
the corner, just, like,
squawking and flapping its
arms. And as it does, like,
the papers are starting to,
like, get hit by the. The air.
That's that it's moving,
scattering them. And so she's
freaking out between, like,
what, like, trying to stop
this ax beat and call it. And

(30:20):
Trying to, like, stop the
papers from getting all mixed
up at the same time. But,
yeah, you managed to snatch it
and get back behind the
curtain before she notices.

Quinn (30:28):
That's right.

Cameron (30:28):
I'm just gonna. You know what,
with that said, I'm just gonna
go back out to the dance
floor.

Skylar (30:32):
Okay, you've got the document,
whatever it is.

Cameron (30:33):
I've got whatever this is.
What is it, by the way?

Skylar (30:36):
It is. It is a whole bunch of
stock certificates.

Cameron (30:41):
yes.

Skylar (30:41):
Okay, I will get back to you
on what the company is.

Cameron (30:44):
You got it.

Skylar (30:44):
But I definitely have a
company in mind.

Cameron (30:47):
But I have the only legitimate
one, technically.

Quinn (30:49):
Yeah, yeah, you do.

Skylar (30:51):
That's true. This was the. The
legit copy. So, yes, you have
the one actual real stock for
whatever this company is.

Cameron (30:58):
Perfect.

Skylar (30:59):
All right, jumping over to the
two of you that are apparently
looking for Whisper.

Cameron (31:05):
Right?

Quinn (31:05):
Yes. Yes, I am.

Skylar (31:07):
Yes, you are. All right, so
what are you doing in order to
find Whisper?

Quinn (31:12):
I mean, I know where he's
going to be. He's in the
corner generally, and that's
where he says he's going to
be. So I'm just gonna go over
to Whisper.

Cameron (31:18):
I wonder if Whisper doesn't
like you very much.

Skylar (31:21):
Whisper sitting in the corner,
at one of the booths here at
the club. And they are
chatting with, there's an
individual, there's like a
big, like, bulky dude, let's
say a Goliath that sits at his
side on one side. And you know
that that's kind of his
bodyguard, right?

Quinn (31:37):
That's the guy that's names.
Jeremy.

Skylar (31:41):
That's the Jeremy that
everybody keeps talking about.
Jeremy is sitting at his side,
and then he seems to be,
chatting with a person with,
like, a hooded cloak. And he,
he like writes something down
on a paper, and then he hands
it to him. And then you see
them slide a small, sack of
coins to Whisper. And then

(32:02):
they get up with that piece of
paper and they head out. And
then Whisper turns to look at
you. Keep in mind, this is a
kobold. So they're pretty
small. Fatty Lunkin's
character is a, ah, kobold. So
you're, you know, you're kind
of aware they're smaller, you
know, so he looks, he looks
over at you and.

Bill (32:14):
He says, oh, little sauce.
What, ah, what brings you
here? Hopefully not after one
of my clients.

Quinn (32:21):
Again, it's all business.

Bill (32:24):
Hey, I mean, who am I to, deny
that statement?

Quinn (32:28):
We're here looking for, some
people.

Bill (32:30):
Selling some, euphoria here.
Rock bottoms. I thought I
Thought Gravestone had said
that. That was a pretty big
no.

Quinn (32:41):
No, that's what I've heard,
too.

Bill (32:44):
M. Interesting.

Quinn (32:45):
But I'm also hearing there's a
big shipment coming in here
tonight.

Bill (32:50):
Really? A big transaction, you
say?

Quinn (32:53):
That's why we're here?

Bill (32:55):
M. Well, I might know a little
something about that, am I
not? Yeah, that's kind of how
this works. How I.

Quinn (33:05):
That's.

Bill (33:05):
That's how it goes with every.
Everything that I may or may
not know is that I may or may
not know it. For the great
price.

Quinn (33:13):
Can you use for the equation
at all to be like, you know,
hey, if he's doing behind the
back deals now of Euphoria,
when it's saying it's strictly
illegal in the club here.

Skylar (33:23):
You can try. You can certainly
try.

Quinn (33:25):
So we're gonna. We're
arranged. Chart.

Cameron (33:26):
Yeah.

Skylar (33:27):
Rolled Persuasion.

Quinn (33:27):
well, let's just say this. If
he is going to be selling
Euphoria behind your back,
what's happening? It's illegal
to add here in the club itself
with. How is he going to screw
you?

Bill (33:39):
Let me, Let me see, let me
see. Two things to that. First
of all, you said it's a he,
which is interesting. Do you,
do you already have
information?

Quinn (33:46):
I have information that deals
are going down tonight.

Bill (33:48):
Oh, so you don't know it's he.

Quinn (33:51):
Pooh.

Bill (33:52):
This person, you're saying is
gonna be doing some big drug,
drop or whatever.

Quinn (33:57):
Gravestone.

Skylar (33:58):
Yeah.

Cameron (33:58):
It's pretty brave of you to
assume that it's a man.

Bill (34:01):
Yeah, that's what I'm getting
at. You said he specifically.
So do you know something?
Because the more you can give
me in. In the form of
information and money, the
more I can give back to you.

Quinn (34:15):
It's really them.

Bill (34:17):
Oh, again, you know this.

Quinn (34:19):
No, I don't. That's what I'm
saying. Is they them? I guess.

Bill (34:22):
Oh, you're saying it's
ambiguous.

Quinn (34:23):
It could be a he, it could be
a she, it could be an it.

Skylar (34:27):
So you.

Bill (34:27):
You know nothing is what
you're saying.

Quinn (34:29):
No, I know there's a deal
going down in there. Right,
right.

Bill (34:31):
But you don't know anything
about who.

Quinn (34:32):
It could have, who it could
possibly be.

Bill (34:35):
Oh, who do you think it is?

Quinn (34:36):
Well, I think definitely.
Well, obviously the rocks have
something to do with it.

Bill (34:40):
You think the rocks. Let me
tell you, the rocks are pretty
loyal to Gravestone. I don't
think that if Gravestone made
it.

Quinn (34:49):
I can you that, I also can
tell you pretty positive.

Cameron (34:53):
Yeah.

Quinn (34:53):
That the, Give me one Second.

Bill (34:55):
Of course, of course. Take
your time. It's not like I'm
doing business here. Sir,
excuse me. it'll be just a
moment. He's got.

Cameron (35:02):
Oh, the.

Bill (35:02):
Oh, the legion. Well, okay,
hold on. How is this, you
saying this is all connected
to the legionnaires?

Quinn (35:07):
What makes you think that I
think the legionnaires are.
There's a little pile. I give
you a little information, you
give me a little information.

Bill (35:16):
You know that I can be a
little bit tricky.

Skylar (35:18):
Roll me the persuasion trap.

Quinn (35:19):
14.

Bill (35:20):
All right, I tell you what. If
you've got information on the
legionnaires, I might have a
little bit of information on
your suspect. So, yeah, we
could make a bit of a trade
here.

Quinn (35:31):
All right. Do you know
anything about magical bones?

Bill (35:34):
any particular context?

Quinn (35:37):
What was it? What's the guy's
name? Eradicus. Okay, out of
game here. Rack has to sell in
the bones to.

Skylar (35:43):
Well, yes, was requested for
bones from.

Quinn (35:46):
A third Rare Crest is
requesting bones.

Skylar (35:49):
From the cloak figures, which
technically, you've seen.

Quinn (35:51):
We went to the cloak figures
and found out that they're
selling Euphoria at this pub.

Skylar (35:56):
Right? Or they have somebody
that is.

Quinn (35:58):
At least from. We hear that
from the figures themselves.

Skylar (36:02):
You saw, Well, you have the.
We have the Atticus. And then
you also saw on the map that
said that somebody here was
selling Euphoria.

Quinn (36:10):
So it's all connected some
way, shape or form.

Skylar (36:12):
Right?

Quinn (36:13):
So legionnaires are searching
out and ran if he's a
legionnaire, right.

Skylar (36:17):
Or he was like, contracted by
the well. And again, you're
assuming that the cloaked
figures are the legionnaires,
which I'm not saying. Yes.
Right now.

Quinn (36:26):
They're working.

Skylar (36:27):
They're working.

Quinn (36:28):
Okay, So I tell him. I tell
him everything. And all the
legionnaires potentially
working with at this guy named
Radicus, this bones, we. Some
hooded figures. And we saw
that there is a big deal going
down tonight in their back
room. We escaped. You know,
we. We didn't can, you know,
confront them at all. So
there's. There's. There's big
things going down in this

(36:49):
city. And the city is going to
crumble if we don't figure
out, you know, there's big
things about to go down. And I
feel like you and I working
together right now is going to
not only save this city, but
save your life potentially,
too. There's big deals going
down, big things that people
aren't talking about. And
we're trying to get to the
bottom of it. Blank space. I'm

(37:09):
sure You've heard. Everybody
knows about it. Everybody.
Everybody knows about it now.
Knows about the seat. They
don't know that I was. Not
everybody knows that I was a
member necessarily. You do? Of
course. But yeah, it's not.
It's not necessarily. I'm not
obviously not a member. Now
I'm doing this.

Bill (37:25):
I'm impressed that you still
lie. Life after what I. Mike,
My informants told me about
what happened there. It was a
massacre, to say the least.
Yeah.

Cameron (37:35):
Oh my God.

Quinn (37:36):
I can't tell you about my best
friend secretary.

Cameron (37:39):
They literally.

Quinn (37:40):
They literally cut her toes
off. Put them through a meat
grinder.

Bill (37:44):
They had a meat grinder on
site?

Quinn (37:47):
We had one.

Cameron (37:50):
The bling.

Skylar (37:50):
The famous blank space cookout
where they. They just start
shoving meat into a meat
grinder.

Quinn (37:55):
We ground our own meat. Every
cookout. And then they. They
skinned her.

Skylar (37:59):
They use the grinder on her
skin too?

Quinn (38:01):
No, they use a cheese grater.
This is terrible.

Bill (38:03):
I might be an information
broker, but this is far more
information than I ever wanted
to know.

Quinn (38:08):
I just. I miss her so much.

Cameron (38:10):
I loved her, man.

Bill (38:11):
I'm sorry.
Look, I'm sorry.

Quinn (38:12):
She made me cookies, Rose.

Bill (38:14):
Oh, well. No cookies now, I
suppose.

Quinn (38:17):
New hand me cookies.

Bill (38:18):
No, I don't have cookies.
Sorry. I don't think they sell
cookies here. Mostly just
drinks.

Quinn (38:22):
What about cookie flavored
drink?

Bill (38:24):
They might have those
actually.

Cameron (38:26):
Dude, later.

Bill (38:27):
Rusty is a hell of a drink
maker.

Quinn (38:29):
Anyways.

Bill (38:30):
Anyways, man, you gave me.

Skylar (38:31):
You gave me quite a bit.

Bill (38:32):
Okay. I. I'm honestly at a
point where I'm like. I start
to feel bad that I haven't
given you anything because
this is. This is a lot of
information. There's some key
details in here that I didn't
know. And, I'm glad I know.
And then there's also some key
details you throw in then. I
wish I didn't know. but that's
beside the point. So, you're
looking for somebody selling
euphoria around here.

Skylar (38:51):
Okay.

Bill (38:52):
do you got a name?

Quinn (38:53):
I'm assuming that Engravestone
has.

Bill (38:56):
You keep making assumptions.

Skylar (38:57):
I know.

Quinn (38:57):
I don't think I do have a.

Bill (38:58):
Name that would help a lot.
McCool. M. McCool. I've heard
that name here before,
actually. Somebody. Somebody
uses that. I tell you what.

Skylar (39:06):
And he scribbles onto a piece
of.

Bill (39:08):
Paper and he says, take this
over to Slick. Slick knows the
people here. Slick knows about
the titles of people that are
involved here. Slick would
know if there's a, McCool that
attends his Club Slick knows
exactly who it is. You go talk
to him.

Quinn (39:26):
Who is with me?

Skylar (39:27):
Marky.

Cameron (39:28):
Yeah, Marky's just standing
there, standing there,
drinking his mojito.

Skylar (39:34):
He is his lawyer, so, you
know, it's good that he's on
retainer.

Quinn (39:37):
Hey, yeah, this is my lawyer,
by the way.

Bill (39:40):
Oh, nice to meet you.

Skylar (39:41):
Along a man of the law.

Bill (39:43):
Another man of the law, I
guess.

Skylar (39:45):
Yep.

Cameron (39:45):
Also a part time judge.
Really?

Bill (39:49):
They elected you to the court?

Skylar (39:50):
Say judge, jury, and
executioner.

Cameron (39:53):
He has done that, too. More of
that. I. I serve in the
people's court, if you will.

Bill (40:00):
Oh, interesting. Interesting.
One of those, like, guys, that
deal with, like, the small,
Small claims courts. You're
the guy that hands out divorce
papers and stuff.

Skylar (40:11):
Yeah.
Arbitration arbitration.

Bill (40:13):
Yeah, I like that. Okay, well,
hey, it's great to meet you.
I'll have to come find you if
I, ever need any information
or what's going on in small
claims court, because I got
some clients that deal, within
those kind of areas. You know,
guys trying to divorce their
wives. Guy who thinks that
another dude smashed his cart
and wants to know who might
have done it, you know?

Cameron (40:33):
Yeah. Neighbor touches your
cat inappropriately.

Bill (40:38):
You know, it's interesting you
say that, because two nights
ago I had a guy who was like,
all right, well, I appreciate
you. Yeah. yeah, thanks for
stopping by. Go talk to Slick
Mario.

Quinn (40:48):
Let's go talk to Slick.

Skylar (40:50):
real quick, what are the rest
of you. Ah, you guys are at
the bar still?

Cameron (40:53):
yeah, waiting for Dino.

Skylar (40:54):
Yeah.
Okay, so.

Cameron (40:55):
So a couple.

Skylar (40:56):
A couple of minutes later,
this lizard folk dude just
comes slamming into the bar,
and he's like, I didn't come.
Up with a voice for this guy.
Yeah, Rusty, this. I need
another heater.

Cameron (41:17):
Okay, new best friend.

Bill (41:23):
You know what?

Quinn (41:23):
Let's.

Skylar (41:24):
Let's just cut the bull crap.
Give me two.
And the duer guy, Rusty is
standing there and he goes,
oh, you.
Know, the limit's only one at
a time.
I can't give you two. I can't.
I can't let you go out there.
Double double fisting drinks.

Cameron (41:37):
The. He has bro mojito. You
can have mine.

Skylar (41:40):
Oh, now here's a standard guy
right here. Hey, wait a
minute. These are empty.

Cameron (41:45):
Oh, did you know they do
cookie flavored shot here?

Skylar (41:49):
Wait. Oh, yeah, I had, like,
four of them already.

Cameron (41:52):
Oh, I want, two.

Skylar (41:54):
Yeah, give this guy two. Give
this guy two on me. Ah, chug,
chug.

Cameron (42:00):
When I get two, I slide one
over to him.

Skylar (42:03):
Oh, I mean, okay. Cool.
You both do the shot.
Yeah, it tastes like hydrox.

Cameron (42:10):
Ew.

Skylar (42:10):
Yeah, they suck. no offense,
Rusty.
We're trying new things out.
It is what it is.
So what are you guys doing
here at Rag Bottoms?

Cameron (42:20):
we were looking for a job.

Skylar (42:22):
A job?

Cameron (42:23):
Yeah. With you.

Skylar (42:25):
From me. I don't even know you
guys.

Cameron (42:29):
You do now. I'm right. And I
stick out my hand past Kito to
shake hands with him.

Skylar (42:34):
Now, see, this is.
He reaches out his clawed
lizard folk scaly hand. He
shakes your hand. He says.
Now see, this is some good old
fashioned networking right
here. It's nice to meet you.

Cameron (42:46):
This is Kito. And I bump my
hand straight into Kito's
chest when I'm pulling it
back.

Skylar (42:51):
Oh, great. Nice to meet you,
Mr. Keto.

Cameron (42:54):
I like smile. Nice to meet
you.

Skylar (42:56):
Oh, great.

Cameron (42:57):
I know we're like cut from the
same cloak.

Skylar (43:01):
I wouldn't go that far. That's
kind of racist. But aside from
that, I would.

Cameron (43:05):
And this is Frog. And I point
at my robot who's just sitting
on the stand with a little
thing of oil that I gave him.
And he's just slowly sticking
his head into it.

Skylar (43:15):
It just looks like a. Like a,

Cameron (43:17):
He's got a really long straw
sticking out of it. He's just.

Skylar (43:22):
Oh, yeah, you got a little
robot, man. That's pretty
cool.

Cameron (43:25):
Yeah. Anyways, we won. we. We
wanted smuggling.

Skylar (43:30):
Well, that's what I do.

Cameron (43:31):
Well, we.

Skylar (43:32):
You need something to get from
here to here, and you don't
want nobody to know about it.

Cameron (43:36):
I'm a former smuggler.

Skylar (43:38):
Oh, that's real cool. What'd
you smuggle?

Cameron (43:40):
Mostly coconuts.

Skylar (43:43):
Really?

Cameron (43:44):
Bananas.

Skylar (43:45):
Okay.

Cameron (43:46):
Various fruits.

Skylar (43:49):
Sometimes. Customs can be a
real butthole about that kind
of stuff.

Cameron (43:53):
Not a case of scurvy to be
found within 20 leagues of
that guy.

Skylar (43:57):
Well, good for him. He's
getting his vitamin C. See,
that's important for a
smuggler. And really, anybody,
to be honest.

Quinn (44:04):
Dial Sortus.

Skylar (44:07):
Oh, you're walking up at this
point.
Hey, it's Lil Sa. Oh, Little
sauce.

Bill (44:14):
Ah.

Cameron (44:14):
He always ruins the fun. Cops,
man.

Skylar (44:17):
Yeah.
What are you, you're not here
for me. I m. Haven't done
anything that you would know
about.

Quinn (44:21):
I ain't here. I ain't here to
arrest nobody. You know what
happened?

Bill (44:25):
Phone.

Quinn (44:26):
You've heard. You've heard
what happened?

Skylar (44:28):
Oh, about break space. That it
got shut down, to say the
least. I'm sorry. I'm sorry
for you, but it's great for
me. Yeah. I mean, like I've
had the time of my life.

Cameron (44:38):
And me.

Skylar (44:39):
Right on.

Quinn (44:41):
You know, I've always liked
you, Dino. I feel like,
really, your heart's in the
right place.

Skylar (44:46):
I like to think so. It's right
here.
You points at his chest.

Quinn (44:50):
Do you know anything about
some smuggling going on? It's.

Cameron (44:53):
That's kind of a dumb
question.

Skylar (44:55):
Yeah, I mean, I don't talk
about it. That's kind of the
point.

Quinn (44:59):
With some euphoria.

Skylar (45:00):
Oh, hey, hey. I don't do that
stuff. I don't mess around
with that stuff.

Quinn (45:06):
Gravestone. I didn't ask if he
did it.

Cameron (45:08):
I asked.

Skylar (45:09):
I know.
I don't smuggle it either.
Gravestone said, no euphoria.
and I, you know, he's a good
guy.

Quinn (45:15):
So what if. What if someone
with a little bit more money
came by and said, no, I want
you to smuggle this?

Skylar (45:20):
I'd say, what do you need
smuggle? You need your forest
smuggled? No, sir, I don't do
that.

Quinn (45:26):
And they offered you a lot of
money.

Cameron (45:27):
Oh, no, no, no.

Skylar (45:28):
You don't understand. See,
this guy gets it.

Cameron (45:31):
He puts it.

Quinn (45:31):
No excuse.

Cameron (45:32):
Because you said he was a good
guy, but now you're implying
he'll double cross for money.
That's not a good guy.

Skylar (45:37):
Yeah, see if he gets it.

Cameron (45:39):
I know the smuggler's code. I
was a smuggler.

Skylar (45:41):
Even with smugglers, we gotta
have a code.
I liked him have good nipples.

Quinn (45:45):
I liked him to detect thoughts
on.

Cameron (45:47):
Oh, okay, okay, good idea.
I'll let you know. Smugglers
do not like people reading
their minds. Okay, but doesn't
he roll to see if he's getting
a spell cast?

Skylar (45:55):
only if he wants to go deeper.
Oh, but you can see the
surface levels automatically.

Quinn (45:59):
I want to go deeper.

Skylar (46:00):
Oh, okay.
Well, then he's gonna make a
scene.

Quinn (46:03):
Throw.

Skylar (46:04):
So 14. What's your spell? Save
DC.

Quinn (46:08):
I'm gonna use the luck.

Skylar (46:09):
Oh, okay. All right.
Oh, okay.
Only an 8. You see him
smuggling crates of hats.
Knitted hats. Nice. And he's
handing them off to a factory
facility in the Wakandale
district. And you see what
looks like a faded. The faded

(46:31):
words on the facility are
Steel Born Industries. And
he's saying to this, you see
an individual. He's bald. He
has, He's like, maybe a little
bit under middle aged,
completely, like, clean
shaven. And he's got these
weird, like, big almost like
racing goggles. Like back in
the, like, steampunk style

(46:52):
racing goggles. And they've
got, like, cogs on Them. And
he says, so, you got a.
Bunch of hats, huh? That's a
fun industry to get into.
And the man says, I would
appreciate.
It if you would keep it quiet.
that's what I do. I deliver
goods with no words. I got my

(47:17):
big old lizard folk lips
sealed.
And he's gotta, like, go all
the way around his lizard.
Mole snout.
Yes. So he has to go all the
way around it to fully seal
his lizard lip.
And then you.
You come out of it.

Cameron (47:30):
Well sauce. Well sauce. We
said you could trust the,
smuggler. You just kind of
zoned out there when we said
that.

Skylar (47:37):
I don't know if you could
trust any smuggler, but, hey,
let me tell you, you could
trust this one.

Quinn (47:41):
So I realized that he's just
dumb.

Cameron (47:45):
And doesn't know what he's
smuggling.

Quinn (47:47):
At the time, probably. What
was it? Has anything or was.

Skylar (47:50):
Are you asking him?

Quinn (47:51):
No, I'm saying it was a legit
hat.

Skylar (47:54):
As far as he was aware. They
were hats.

Quinn (47:56):
Yeah. And then the guy's like,
look. Oh, shush. I'm sure
there was more than hats. What
was in the hats?

Skylar (48:01):
Or maybe there wasn't anything
in the hat.

Quinn (48:02):
It was just hats. Dino, you've
been smuggling hats again.

Skylar (48:08):
Now. Okay, first of all, he's
kind of.
Wobbly because he's been
drinking a lot.
He says, first of all, this is
the first time I've ever
smuggled hats, mind you. And
second of all, I don't know
what you're talking about.

Cameron (48:22):
Can't beat that.

Quinn (48:23):
Okay, hypothetically, huh?
Hang on a second here.

Skylar (48:26):
A little hypothetical.

Quinn (48:28):
Rusty, let me hit you with
one.

Skylar (48:30):
What if trees are m. Made of
metal?

Quinn (48:32):
Hang on.

Skylar (48:33):
Oh, man.

Quinn (48:35):
Hey, Rusty.

Skylar (48:36):
yeah? What do you mean?

Quinn (48:37):
Two cookie shots.

Skylar (48:39):
All right, Two cookie shots
right here.

Quinn (48:41):
Both are double.

Cameron (48:42):
Oh.

Skylar (48:43):
And he pours in another.
Another. Whatever.

Cameron (48:45):
Give him the maki.

Quinn (48:46):
Daniel. These are free.

Skylar (48:48):
Oh, geez.
Ah.
I'm gonna say these kind of
sucked, but who am I to say?
Not a free booze.
And he downs both shots.

Cameron (48:56):
It's funny, he said that when
we took shots earlier, and it
was on his tab, but he still
said that.

Quinn (49:01):
Well, these are, All right.
Rusty, his tail.

Skylar (49:06):
He requested it. This is. This
is bad bar. That's bad,
business. And I might be just
a drunk man, lizard man, but
that's bad bar etiquette.

Cameron (49:16):
Yeah, I'm not gonna let you
push around my new best
friend.

Skylar (49:19):
What do you want?

Quinn (49:20):
You wanna take yourself
something?

Cameron (49:21):
Take what outside? The drinks.
What do you want?

Skylar (49:24):
You got, jobs?

Cameron (49:26):
Maybe I wanna Do a hat? Yeah.

Quinn (49:28):
Gave me these hats.

Skylar (49:30):
well, here's the thing. I
don't know why I should tell
you that. You didn't say it
was on, like, for terms. Look,
if you guys want jobs,

Cameron (49:44):
I want to do a hack job.

Skylar (49:45):
I don't know.
We'll see if I. I probably
will get more of those, to be
honest with you. They were
going pretty good, with that
being said. Ah. Just, you come
find me at the Gartham docks
in the morning, and I'll see
what I can do. I could always
use a good, trustworthy crew.
I pay fair market value.

Cameron (50:04):
What's that?

Skylar (50:04):
Well, it depends on what I'm
getting for the job. So you
get a percentage of that.

Quinn (50:09):
So you.

Skylar (50:10):
Depending on how many people
we get, usually you get 10 to
15%. If you do the work,
that's a full share.

Cameron (50:18):
Only 10 to 15.
But if it's like 10,000, I
mean, he's got it.

Skylar (50:24):
all right, I'm, going back to
party.
He, like, throws his arms, and
he has a. He grabs somebody
else's mojito. And so he's got
a mojito in both hands, and he
gets walking back in there,
and.

Quinn (50:35):
All right, I'm gonna go see
Slick. Okay.

Skylar (50:38):
Slick is. Slick is a party
dude. You see, he is a
tiefling. there are a lot of
tieflings here. He's a purple
tiefling. He's got purple
toned skin, and he's, like.
He's, like, sexy dancing with,
like, a group of three or four
other people. They're kind of,
like, grinding on each other
and stuff. Like, it's pretty.

(50:59):
Very physical dancing.

Cameron (51:01):
I was about to say DEZ is over
there, but I changed my mind.

Skylar (51:05):
You're just walking by, and
then. And then you see the
rest of the group is walking
there, and you all kind of,
like, clump together.

Quinn (51:11):
Slick.

Cameron (51:11):
Slick.

Quinn (51:12):
Slick.

Skylar (51:13):
Hey, let's go.

Cameron (51:15):
The sauce.

Skylar (51:17):
Good to see you.

Quinn (51:18):
Can we talk some business?

Skylar (51:19):
You want to talk business?
I'm doing.

Bill (51:21):
I'm getting my dance on right
now.

Quinn (51:23):
Well, can we go talk business
and come back? Get your dance
off.

Skylar (51:26):
Do I have to?

Quinn (51:28):
Yeah.

Cameron (51:29):
Really?

Quinn (51:30):
Yeah. M. Very nice.

Skylar (51:31):
It'd be nice.

Cameron (51:32):
It doesn't sound like I have
to.

Skylar (51:34):
And then he's like, does it
sound like I have to, guys?
And, like, his friends around
him are.
Like, no, it doesn't sound
like you have to, bro. So I
was like, you should just keep
dancing.

Cameron (51:43):
you have to. And Maki slides
over his robe and puts his
hand on his Hand Crossbow.

Skylar (51:51):
No need for violence, my man.
I'll just dance one over your
way.
And he just, like. He's like.
He's like, doing, like, a hip
thrust thing and his hands in
the air, and he just does that
towards. He's, like, body
rolling towards you guys. He's
still. He's still kind of
dancing to the music.

Cameron (52:05):
He's like. So what can.

Skylar (52:06):
What can I do for you guys?

Cameron (52:08):
No need for violence in the
club.

Quinn (52:09):
Whatever Catch. I want sick
handle over the paper.

Skylar (52:12):
Oh, what's Whisper? Whisper
wants me to tell you
something.
What do you want to know?

Quinn (52:16):
Cheeky.

Skylar (52:17):
Cheeky?
Is that it?
Just cheeky?

Quinn (52:20):
What's the one so cool. Cheeky
McCool.

Skylar (52:24):
Oh, Cheeky McCool.

Quinn (52:26):
Said he might. Maybe he'll be
around here tonight. Maybe.

Cameron (52:29):
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Skylar (52:30):
No, it's,

Bill (52:30):
It's a,

Skylar (52:30):
It's one of them, them, like,
fake names. You know what I
mean?
Like, when someone doesn't
want to know.
Who they really are, but they
won't want you to know who
they really are, so they use,
like, a fig. Like a pseudonym?
M. Yeah, it's a pseudonym,
dude.

Cameron (52:43):
You know exactly who it is,
man. You'll never guess who is
it is.

Skylar (52:48):
He looks both ways.
He goes, dude, it's Sprout,
man.

Cameron (52:51):
He's been all like, hey, guys,
Tiki.

Skylar (52:54):
McCool try to be all, like, I.
Don'T know, cool and stuff.
I don't know.
He's. He's ridiculous, man.
That kid, Oh, he's causing so
much trouble all the time. Try
to get into the rocks.
He's always like, I'm gonna
become a rock.
And then, like, the next day,
he's.
Like, I'm gonna join, like,
the.

Cameron (53:10):
The. The beasts.

Skylar (53:12):
And I'm like, man, you.

Cameron (53:13):
You ain't got no muscles, man.

Skylar (53:15):
You know what I mean?

Quinn (53:15):
But he's actually legit
pulling off some stuff, huh?

Skylar (53:18):
I don't know.

Quinn (53:19):
Is he? Yeah.

Skylar (53:20):
What's he doing?

Quinn (53:21):
Well done. So you need to
know.

Skylar (53:23):
Hey, man, I don't care. But if
you want it, if you.

Cameron (53:27):
Want to tell me.

Quinn (53:29):
Euphoria.

Skylar (53:30):
Oh, hey, hold on, man.
We don't mess around with that
stuff here, okay?

Bill (53:34):
Maybe.

Skylar (53:35):
Maybe outside the club, I.
I'll, you.
Know, do a little sniff.
Sniff.
But, we don't do that here. I
wouldn't. I wouldn't even
mention it if it was me.

Bill (53:44):
I don't.

Skylar (53:45):
That's how you get kicked out.

Cameron (53:46):
I want to keep dancing.

Skylar (53:48):
All right.

Quinn (53:48):
Thanks.

Skylar (53:49):
You want to dance with us?

Quinn (53:51):
No, you don't.

Skylar (53:52):
Okay.
You Missing out.

Quinn (53:53):
I'm going to go over to
Grizzle Tooth over in the
corner.

Skylar (53:55):
Yes, Slick. Just.

Cameron (53:56):
Just dance.

Skylar (53:57):
He. He body rolls back over to
his group.

Quinn (54:00):
Pretty, sure. Slip. I'm pretty
sure he's on the Euphoria.

Cameron (54:03):
Ah.

Skylar (54:04):
Oh, you're saying that he's on
the. He's on the.

Quinn (54:08):
You say there's a little
sniff. Sniff out there.
They're called.

Skylar (54:11):
Look, here is the thing.
Little saucy. You know what he
sound like right now, and I'm
not trying to be that guy,
but, you kind of sound like a
snitch.

Quinn (54:21):
I hear there's euphoria deals
going on in the club.

Skylar (54:24):
Okay, so that's pretty bad
news because that's pretty
illegal. Who do you got
somebody?

Quinn (54:30):
I do. I got a name. Okay.
Cheeky McCool. Okay.

Skylar (54:35):
And it's also sounds like a
fake name.

Quinn (54:37):
It is. Slick told me it's a
fake name for.

Skylar (54:42):
Well, look, if you need help.

Quinn (54:44):
Sprout. It's Sprout.

Cameron (54:45):
No.

Quinn (54:46):
Yeah.

Cameron (54:46):
No.

Quinn (54:47):
Yeah. I was shocked as you
were. I tried to help that
kids.

Cameron (54:50):
Oh, no.

Quinn (54:52):
Sprout kid. Sprout is leading.
Well, yeah, you say night
camp, but that kid is leading
up, some sort of big euphoria
deal here tonight.

Skylar (54:59):
Yeah, I know he is.

Quinn (55:00):
There's a big deal going down
tonight, all right?

Skylar (55:02):
We need to find him, cuz.

Quinn (55:03):
Does Gravestone know about
this?

Skylar (55:05):
No, probably not.

Quinn (55:07):
Everybody should give me
contacts.

Skylar (55:10):
I. It sounds like we should
probably be going and getting
Sprout. We need to go catch
the. If he's doing it, he
could be doing the deal right
now. That's not cool with me.

Quinn (55:19):
All right.

Skylar (55:19):
No Euphoria, in the club, all
right?

Quinn (55:21):
And.

Skylar (55:22):
And he puts the little, like,
velvet.
Gate thing over all the
people. He's looking at you.
He's looking at him. He's
like, if any of you guys go
in, I've memorized every
single one of your faces. I
will throw you back out of the
club. I'm gonna go. I will be
back.
And if I.
If this line looks any
shorter, I will go back into
the club. I will find you, and

(55:42):
I will throw you out.
And he just like, cracks all
his knuckles and. And then he.
He follows you guys into the
club. Okay, so you guys are
all looking around for Sprout.
Are you guys splitting up?

Cameron (55:54):
No. Okay, can I roll to see
how many I want to see?

Quinn (55:57):
I don't know that these guys
go with me and talk to.

Cameron (56:00):
I drink Slick.
Three drinks. Can do. I roll.
Let's see if I'm drunk.

Skylar (56:04):
Yeah.

Cameron (56:05):
I got a nine.

Skylar (56:06):
Oh, yeah, you're.

Cameron (56:07):
You're getting pretty good.
That's kind of important.
Okay.

Quinn (56:10):
Yeah. So guys ruining
everything all the time.

Cameron (56:12):
Warwick's like, you know, oh,
no, I'm about sick of this
little sauce guy. He's
telling, us a stupid, vicious.
He's keeps leading us the
wrong way.

Quinn (56:25):
And he comes over here.

Cameron (56:25):
You hear him? He threatened
me. He said, let's go outside.
He said he want to fight me,
you know, if I wasn't stuck in
this stupid goblin body.

Quinn (56:33):
Can I punch him?

Skylar (56:34):
No, you're.

Cameron (56:34):
You're not here.
You're not here. Rory, you
left. This is right after you
left, this Rory immediately
starts going on a ramp. He's
like, you know, and when I was
doing this stupid goblin by. I
would kill him.

Quinn (56:46):
All right?

Cameron (56:47):
You know, back when I was a
dwarf, I would kill him
already because he was stupid.
I hate him.

Skylar (56:53):
He's stupid.

Cameron (56:54):
I don't know why we keep
following him. He's not even
taking us on money adventures.
We need mine to get out of
here. You know, Stupid, stupid
stuff.
DEZ walks from the dance
floor. He's got, like, those
rave glasses with, like, the
shutters on up. He's got,
like, six of those bracelets,
and he's sipping, like, a
martini glass drink.
He's going full clubbing.

(57:14):
And he just, like, whips out
the paper. He heard money.
Whips out the paper in front
of, Roerich and then puts it
back.
In his back pocket. What does
the paper say?
It was a, certificate for
stocks.
You see what I'm. Des wanders,
off by himself, and he only
gets so much more money than
Lil. Slots will get us in,
like, three weeks. Okay, so,

(57:35):
like, why, you know, and Roark
makes, like, cutting, like,
with his fingers and just, you
know, out of the picture. No,
we're not gonna scissor him.
Oh, yikes. Kido is going to
grimace at said.
Scissor remark back way and
then take.

(57:56):
A deep breath, come back in,
hand over Rorick's shoulder.

Skylar (58:00):
Oh, man.

Cameron (58:01):
And say, I feel you. I agree.

Skylar (58:03):
Wow.

Cameron (58:04):
See, exactly. This is my
point. I mean, I'm fine with.

Quinn (58:08):
Yeah.

Cameron (58:08):
Later.

Quinn (58:09):
The biggest Euphoria dealer in
the land.

Cameron (58:11):
I'm feeling like I don't.

Quinn (58:13):
We're not.

Cameron (58:13):
We're going on stupid
adventures that don't lead to
money. You know, that's the
only way we get out of here is
money. Right? But no, instead,
we're going to go help this
place. What's the matter?
We're not going to be here in,
like, two weeks. Two weeks. I.
Unfortunately, I bet we're
going to be here a while. Why
don't we go do that stupid
bank job? We came up with our

(58:33):
banks insured. I don't know.
We never got the answer for
that. We. Oh, that's another
thing. That's another stupid
thing. You know, it's always
stupid things. You know, I
want to ask the rock really
important questions, like how
many frogs are in the area or
are banks insured? You know,
valuable questions. But no.
Every single time. Every

(58:55):
single time. And he's, like,
banging his hand on the
counter every single time
little sauce has to ask the
question. He's not even from
up top like we are, and he's
wasting all our questions. And
you know what? Most of the
time, big man says, oh, I
don't know. Every time he
said, I don't know. So he's
wasting our questions on I

(59:17):
don't know.

Quinn (59:18):
This is.

Cameron (59:18):
You know, I love the guy and
all, but, like, I don't want.
I don't want to kill him,
okay? I don't want you to get
it that way, okay? Like, I see
the way Rusty's looking at me,
and, like, I want to clarify.
I don't want to sit there.

Skylar (59:31):
He's, like, washing a dish.
He's got the rag, like, in the
thing, and he's just, like.

Cameron (59:34):
He hasn't even been paying
attention. He's looking
somewhere. I'm not saying I
want to kill him, okay? He's a
nice guy, and he's been
through a lot. Apparently,
that lady that died and got
torn into pieces and thrown to
the wolves or whatever he
said. Oh, if I have to hear
her name again. Anyway, I
think they were secretly
lovers, if you ask me. But
anyways, I always thought he
swung the other way.

Skylar (59:53):
Oh.

Cameron (59:53):
That's why Des said, ah,
scissor. I get it now. Oh,
okay, so. But, like, I want to
kill a guy, but how about we
just start, like, doing our
own ideas instead of his idea?
It's always his ideas. That's
all. I'm getting that. Okay?
But guess what? Me, Des, is
right here. And, like, I
pointed the three of us. Three
of us. That's three more votes

(01:00:14):
than him, right? Why do we
always win his ideas? Yeah.
What say you, dez? Yeah, dez,
you're the talkative type.
Dez, takes a sip of his little
martini drink, and just throws
it at the ground and writes
multiple times on his little

(01:00:35):
whiteboard.
Bank job, paint job, Paint
job. Finally, I knew you'd be
into this. Okay, now we get
Maki on our side. He'll
definitely be on our side
because the instant I
mentioned we use any type of
magic in this Bing job, he'll
be in. I already know that.

Skylar (01:00:50):
So with that being said, Maki,
are you still with Lil Sauce
at the moment?

Cameron (01:00:55):
Yeah, I'm his shadow sorcerer.

Skylar (01:00:59):
So the two of you are looking
through the crowds for Sprout,
while Grizzle Tooth has kind
of also gone into a different
direction looking for Sprout
amidst the cloud. I'm gonna
have, one of you two roll a
perception check, whichever
one wants to, and then add.
Let's do advantage, since the
two of you are both looking.

(01:01:20):
I'm doing good.
Okay. It doesn't take long,
but sure enough, you. You step
out over by the bathrooms
area.

Cameron (01:01:28):
He's wearing, like, a thing
that says McCool on the back
of the.

Skylar (01:01:32):
It's like a sign. Like when
you're picking somebody up
from the airport and just
says, Cheeky McCool. Want
euphoria?
question mark?

Bill (01:01:38):
No.

Skylar (01:01:39):
You walk around to the corner
to the bathroom, and he has a
shirt.
And written on the shirt, and,
like.
You know, he did it by hand,
like with a. With the paint or
something. He has a white T
shirt on, and it just says
Cheeky McCool in some, like,
bright orange. And he sees you
guys come around the corner
and he looks really shifty. He
says, what's up? And he

(01:01:59):
doesn't look like he's. He's
assuming you guys are just
headed to the bathroom.
Bro, what are you doing?

Cameron (01:02:04):
Little Sauce?

Bill (01:02:05):
What are you doing here?

Quinn (01:02:07):
Euphoria.

Skylar (01:02:09):
Oh, crap.
And he starts to bolt off.

Quinn (01:02:12):
No.

Cameron (01:02:12):
Ah.

Skylar (01:02:13):
And with that, we will close
out this episode.

Quinn (01:02:23):
Foreign.
