You are about to enter a world of drug aises,
incompetence and combat, a world where magic is coated the
floors and also the walls. Some magic has spilt onto
the books.

experience and podcast named by A three. I am your host,

Speaker 5 (01:58):
I'll tell you what. Let me go ask and see
if there is a rentable public common room we can
have like a private dining room where we can sit
and talk for a little bit, and then not a
karaoke bar. But I'll be back. Randall gets up to
go find a landlord at some point. What happens at
(02:25):
the table while he's doing that?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
So yeah, you guys, So Randall, will you get up
and you you head over to the bar to find
out how to get a room, and then everybody else
at the table.

agree with Astrad that he smells amazing. Anybody else set
the table can also roll a perception check. Uh, shall
(04:14):
do you have a sense of smell like?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Vague?
Speaker 12 (04:21):

I wonder if I might be.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Able to tell what he is? Just okay?
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Yeah, so so Echo, you do notice that Echo, uh,
it does does smell good. But as Phantom walks by,
Phantom makes direct eye contact with Astroid and kind of
like opens his eyes up a little bit, and you
notice that all of you can kind of notice that
(04:49):
he's got the same sort of dead eyes that Shall has,
not not that they're not warm and inviting, but literally dead.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I have no eyes so oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yeah, okay, so not not quite the same eyes as
Shell has, because Shell then that, but you do notice
that like his eyes are like you can only see
the whites of his eyes.

Everybody in this group is at some point kill. We
know what a dead persons look like.

he's he's gotta he's got a strong Yeah, he does
have a very strong aura. It's got kind of like
(06:12):
a greenish tint to it, but you know, you can
tell that he is uh, he is newly dead. He
is newly undead and trying to figure shit out. So
it's kind of it's strong, but it's a little uncertain
of a of an aura.

Speaker 6 (10:42):
Okay, you pull the chair out, let it go, It
stays where you pull it out.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
Yeah, there's some there's some magical meet my guess.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Yeah, I mean it's in and in. Unless this is
like the Shanghaid and we're stealing your kidney's room, it
can't be like a bad enchantment, right, I mean, just.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Just careful like half him on the shoulder and Cat's guidance.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Okay. Randall sits in the chair.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Okay, so you can feel it's not quite like a vibration,
but you feel like like sort of like a like
like the pins and needles pricking in sensation as you
sit in the chair. And as soon as you you know,
(11:42):
scoot yourself in through a door that you guys did
not notice before, a waiter comes out and walks up
to you and asks if he can get you anything.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Randall lets his beer and is like, could you top
this off? Actually because I have a people we're gonna
we're gonna need to lubricate the socials.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Oh oh, of course, sir, of course, anything for a hero.
And he takes your he takes your mug and he
walks off with it through that again, that hidden door,
now you guys kind of see where it is.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Okay, so he said anything for a hero YEP, Rangel's
space just dropped.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Just I don't know what to tell you, but I mean,
did get the the post the post heroes Welcome.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
It was not on purpose, I assure you. I guess
this was what was available.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
The weirdness apart. I'm gonna lean up against the table.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Intem sitting down on a chair, gets up and starts
pacing some.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
Shaw. You want to tell us what happened out there, buddy?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Do?
Speaker 12 (13:00):
Okay, all right, so so shall I haven't back down?
He's kind of pacing as well, Yes, so I should.
I could have sworn I had mentioned that I'm not
the only one occupying a special.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Rangel's just nodding. It's like, yeah, actually you didn't. But
you know that's partially on us.
Speaker 12 (13:26):
Like you said, like, I'm in control.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
But I.
Speaker 12 (13:34):
Know, as much as it's been much to ask you
to trust me, but I am in control.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
It's just.
Speaker 14 (13:43):
You know, the tragedy that I felt my TEP. You've
told us a little bit about it, So I just
wonder if it what what do you want to know?
What would put your mind in this.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Is there anything in there that's supposes a threat to
either view or to us?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I cannot imagine any such me.
Speaker 12 (14:10):
I mean, there's the souls of my fellow monks.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I vouch for all of them.
Speaker 12 (14:17):
There are a few who are too really close to
me who occasionally.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Will pop in and say.
Speaker 12 (14:25):
I can I can channel them if I need to,
But it's tremendously taxing, and I do admit that I've
been having conversations with Salna.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
They've been a bit strange.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Do you think it has something to do with us,
like we're throwing off your equilibrium?
Speaker 6 (14:46):
There?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
There is some some tension dividual.
Speaker 15 (14:51):
The crew here specifically.
Speaker 12 (14:57):
I guess the best way to explain it is a
few of my monk or concerned that I'm distracted.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
From the causes.
Speaker 12 (15:08):
We understand it, and I believe that working with you
enable me to do what I need to, But it's
oftentimes be kind of felling their.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Frustrations, their invatience.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
When we first met, I remember you saying that Apole point.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
At this needs to get knowledge about yes simple right.
Speaker 12 (15:31):
And my hope was that maybe the library strut Stable
is helping that. That seems like you're being a good resource.
But as we've seen, things are not all that they
should be, and.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
They specifically to bar. Do you do you want to
speak to them?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Well, I'll put that up to vote if anybody else does.
Speaker 10 (16:02):
Do you.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Suppose I can? I suppose I can?
Speaker 12 (16:07):
You know I hesitant with to Vonn because he tends
to be a little aggressive, to the point where he
may not let me take control back too easily.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I assure you I can, but it'll be a little.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Bit of an argument, and.
Speaker 12 (16:27):
You don't know of for you.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Let's do that another day when you haven't already had
someone else in day receive.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Fair enough?
Speaker 12 (16:41):
So so yes, Tovar, he was always my rather aggressive brother,
you know when we were not. I suppose you can
find your own family and we're all members of the temple.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
To Von is very determined two seek tensions.
Speaker 12 (17:07):
I have not been able to find a Sharin in
quite a while, and he's.
Speaker 11 (17:10):
Very impatient.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
Sharon other members of your order, isn't.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Let's just say, if I encounter a Sharin, I don't
know if I would be enjoy myself.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
I don't practice.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Sorry, the Sharans are the ones who attack, right.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
Okay, what if we are causing tension amongst your red
What could we do to reassure them that while we
have immediate concern that solving that problem will lead to
their befits getting out to hybory backs.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I don't know if it's an I better for you
to do. My mind, it's a matter of me finding
some information.
Speaker 10 (18:05):
I do believe.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I do believe Strickxhaven would have some knowledge that I seek.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
So as long as.
Speaker 12 (18:13):
We can work together on writing the situation there, I
think fat building.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Reduce some of the tensions on.
Speaker 12 (18:21):
You know, they know that we are working towards the book,
which I keep telling them.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Hence, just let them know that one of my main
goals is in fact to get the cookbooks out of
the library and get the books back in.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
So absolutely well if any of them got a problem
with that, they can take it up with.
Speaker 15 (18:39):
It's a very It's hard to explain because it's not
quite like a possession, but it's like having another mind
inside of the olds that is constantly.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Focused on something else.
Speaker 12 (18:55):
That makes any sense, child's going to like glance to forte. Yeah, yeah,
how do you manage?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (19:08):
Mind's less some.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Of my control.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I don't I have lost a lot of agency.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I can't I can't really fight it well. And at
least I hope that gift me. I hope you realize that.
Speaker 14 (19:20):
You can find some sense of as I suppose I
just need to kind of fight.
Speaker 12 (19:26):
I really do appreciate the gifts.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Things things like this, like you've seen how I am
with umber.
Speaker 10 (19:31):
Things like this kind of make me more to the
forefront of my my my body and my mind.
Speaker 12 (19:40):
And notice I got the eyes right, you did, You
did exactly right perpetual scale.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yes, but I understand if you all are uncomfortable, it's less.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
That and I want to make sure you're okay, and
i'd be I don't. I don't want to speak for everybody,
but I would it's comfortable for you. I would like
to meet some more your friends. And we were just
taken back by Gary, I think because Gary came out
of nowhere.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Yeah, yeah, I actually got to say that. Gary know,
he seems like a really nice guy.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Gary says, thank you.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Yeah, don't take it personal. We were just surprised.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
So so I suppose the big question here is gonna ask.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
I, having seen what you did, I've got some idea
of it, but please complete by all means.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yes, I don't think Umbra really cares. How does this work?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Boy is gonna nut when he finds out this is badass?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Well, oh, tell me, was a mountain had a dream,
I would, I wouldn't have been able to climb down,
but there was the tree. So upon my reawakening.
Speaker 12 (21:03):
A century after the fight, I went a little crazy
and just took to occupying my hands and what one
of one of the voices, I think it is the
name I suggested crafting.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
The mask, and I don't.
Speaker 12 (21:27):
Understand her reasoning for it, but I felt compelled to
do so, and to harve out the name of every.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Single one of my brothers and sisters who had died.
This this is what keeps me crowded to my my pardess.
This is my penance.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
What I Cali visibly shivers.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
What are you paying tenants for? You do anything more?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
It's not a gift that I don't know what it is.
I shouldn't have commuted do that? Why need I don't.
I don't know what it is. I don't shall shall
I understand?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Like Trump here, he's very Is it a gift?
Speaker 10 (22:12):
Is a gift?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Rangel? Just buddy, I completely understand. I'm not wanting to
be chosen for something by the gods. I completely understand.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
No, this.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Terrifies confuses me. I've been alone for so long. I'm
so sorry if I've let everything he's don't get me.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
No, no, no circumstances, buddy never I don't know. That's
their only.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
One on the chopping block. Here is Forte and like
a finger.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I'm looking out for all of you. To the best
of them.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
We're not going anywhere unless I want to.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I should have been. I don't know all of this house,
and you don't have to.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
It's it's you did nothing act was getting really like,
did nothing wrong?
Speaker 11 (23:26):
When in the end of this, we just.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Want to support you and know what we can do
to help. And here's a big question, and I'm sorry
that's weird. If you had the choice, would you want
to let your brother's free from being in your mind
(23:50):
or would you like to stay well put them on
when you're sharing his body.
Speaker 16 (23:59):
I want to know insurance attacked. I want to ensure
there's a future for the FAC. I feel like if
I can.
Speaker 12 (24:09):
If I can meet those two goals, I might be
able to assent.
Speaker 11 (24:17):
Those sisters.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
I hate saying that that you accept that maybe.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
There's no man I refuse to believe. Allow there's there's
meaning in everything.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
No, I can't I get that.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Hum m h.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
It may not be some divine causemic meaning, but there
there's meaning me creative.
Speaker 12 (24:50):
Maybe I'm setting my own future, my goals, and still
don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
It's a.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Well, I'd really appreciate meaning and everything. I hate to
tell you this, buddy, but faith doesn't exist.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Ship like that doesn't work.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Well if there, If there was, then somebody's got a
lot of answer to do for me.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I can't. I can't eat me. There was no faith.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
There's faith, but faith can be a complete bitch.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Well, deliberance kind of just crosses her arms.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
Yeah, faith is a very big conversation. I think it
makes system your deliberance. But sometimes sometimes things don't mean anything.
Atimes things mean the world. It seems simple and stupid
to say that's a big conversation.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Seconeing to pitch right, can I interject? Is any are
you guys all still standing? Oh?
Speaker 9 (26:06):
No, you're sitting due.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
I'm leaned up against you know what? Actually, after after
I resigned to take the rest of the conversation out
because she does not like the concept of faith and
thinks having purpose. She takes a seat.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
You feel like pins and needles through your body. And
as this conversation is happening through the secret door, the
same waiter comes in hands Randrill his beer. Oh, sir,
I thought you left. I'm so sorry. And then he
(26:44):
walks up to deliver and says, oh, what can I
get for you?
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Hard liquor and something that'll I don't know, fill my stomach.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Of course, anything for a hero, and he walks off
back through the door.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Not a fan of this conversation.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
I'm so you guys can continue your discussion of faith.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Ray well, just you know, it's getting really hard to
face poem with a snack. Just really want all to
understand that every time he comes in and calls one
of us a hero, I've got too much based upon.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Okay, you help.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Save worshippers from a temple that was under siege. How
are you not here.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
That that's a discussion. We're not having you, oh.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Cards here asking me to reveal in truth about myself?
Speaker 5 (27:46):
No care?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Why are you stifering to being here?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
I just I'm I'm just doing what I'm supposed to
be doing that. That is, I don't need to be
a hero. I don't need accolades.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I just.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
You're on a mission from your gods.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Yeah, what needs you to be a hero? I really
don't know that. That's I'm looking. It's gonna sound incredibly stupid.
I'm looking for a gold apple. I don't know that
the bit of the world is hanging in the balance
looking for gilded frunt.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I mean, even counting the stranger things think about.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I'm wrong, that's true, Owl, I mean, okay, yeah, I'm
at jeff uh.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Okay, if a goddess gave you a mission, that's important.
They don't just go handing out what less endeavors.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
So I really haven't asked any of y'all your your backstories.
You know, we haven't really talked about that much unless
it's like been relevant to what's happening, like Umbra's family
and all that fun crap. And part of the reason is, h.

Until next time, this has been the Spooky dice Bag
You are about to enter a world of drug aises,
incompetence and combat, a world where magic is coated the
floors and also the walls. Some magic has spilt onto
the books.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Danger could be lurking around any corner in this virtual
experience and podcast named by A three. I am your host,
kick Acidron and you then tied the strings to the
spook dice bag.

Sense just pats him on the shoulder and starts heading
back to the table.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You hear the shoulder crack.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Okay, Brandrew is not that strong, all right, and come
that I could see. So they get back to the
table and Rain looks like, we're good. We'll have a
discussion when we get home. Just does the double thumbs
(01:15):
up at everybody.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Mm hm.
Speaker 7 (01:19):
I feel like we should pay our tab and go
home if we're gonna have the discussion.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Okay, Yeah, but have a lot of onions, and we're.
Speaker 7 (01:30):
Oh, no, she's got through half of it. She's gotten
through half.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
So they didn't have any giant onions, so they did
onions shaped like flowers and deep fried tang.
Speaker 8 (01:46):
Yes, why don't we get why don't we get a
room here for the night with.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
And that's a good idea.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
Help our onions and have some cons.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I'll tell you what. Let me go ask and see
if there is a rentable public common room we can
have like a private dining room where we can sit
and talk for a little bit, and then not a
karaoke bar. But I'll be back. Randall gets up to
go find a landlord at some point. What happens at
(02:25):
the table while he's doing that?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
So yeah, you guys, So Randall, will you get up
and you you head over to the bar to find
out how to get a room, and then everybody else
at the table.
Speaker 9 (02:40):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
You hear the crowd kind of cheer as the doppel
Gang stars are finishing up their performance, and uh they
start heading over, h heading over toward Cayden, your table's manager,
and Caden gets up to kind of usher them. Oh wait,
(03:10):
m hm.
Speaker 8 (03:11):
Astard restrains herself because she knows her friend needs her.
But like right now, it's like paul.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
I put put a hand on her hand.
Speaker 10 (03:25):
M focus on.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
How you smell? You're just having a mental.
Speaker 11 (03:31):
Smell. Sorry, what do I have to make?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Deliverance? Make a make a make a perception check for
the smell.
Speaker 8 (03:41):
Have I been am I under a charm spell for
some ship?
Speaker 11 (03:45):
This is crazy?
Speaker 9 (03:47):
You are not, h.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
Oh, I got him that one.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
I did not that one. Okay, so yes, you you
agree with Astrad that he smells amazing. Anybody else set
the table can also roll a perception check. Uh, shall
(04:14):
do you have a sense of smell like?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Vague?
Speaker 12 (04:21):
But if this is going the direction I think it is,
I wonder if I might be.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Able to tell what he is? Just okay?
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Yeah, so so Echo, you do notice that Echo, uh,
it does does smell good. But as Phantom walks by,
Phantom makes direct eye contact with Astroid and kind of
like opens his eyes up a little bit, and you
notice that all of you can kind of notice that
(04:49):
he's got the same sort of dead eyes that Shall has,
not not that they're not warm and inviting, but literally dead.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I have no eyes so oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yeah, okay, so not not quite the same eyes as
Shell has, because Shell then that, but you do notice
that like his eyes are like you can only see
the whites of his eyes.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Everybody in this group is at some point kill. We
know what a dead persons look like.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
Yeah, so I'm a great cleric. I'm mad at it.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
It's clearly the eyes of a dead person as he
tries to make direct eye contact with as kind of
opens him up in like a floor.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
What's his key look like?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (05:42):
Yeah, what's his spiritual energy?
Speaker 13 (05:47):
Okay, I'm like I thought I thought you were like
inviting him into a pineapple party or something there, like
the terms of like the no because aura, Okay, Uh,
he's he's gotta he's got a strong Yeah, he does
have a very strong aura. It's got kind of like
(06:12):
a greenish tint to it, but you know, you can
tell that he is uh, he is newly dead. He
is newly undead and trying to figure shit out. So
it's kind of it's strong, but it's a little uncertain
of a of an aura.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Baby needs a baby claric slave.
Speaker 8 (06:34):

I got us like three rooms we can like pair
off per room. And I managed to get us like
a private dining room we can take dinner in that
we've got used for tonight.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
So that's gonna be a lot of money. How can

Wow shit, okay everybody but.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Everybody, but shall uh you notice that these chairs are
sort of emanating with some sort of enchantment magic.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Do they plush themselves in? I'm gonna pull one out.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Okay, you pull the chair out, let it go, It
stays where you pull it out.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Maybe I have to sit in it.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
Yeah, there's some there's some magical meet my guess.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Yeah, I mean it's in and in. Unless this is
like the Shanghaid and we're stealing your kidney's room, it
can't be like a bad enchantment, right, I mean, just.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Just careful like half him on the shoulder and Cat's guidance.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Okay. Randall sits in the chair.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Okay, so you can feel it's not quite like a vibration,
but you feel like like sort of like a like
like the pins and needles pricking in sensation as you
sit in the chair. And as soon as you you know,
(11:42):
scoot yourself in through a door that you guys did
not notice before, a waiter comes out and walks up
to you and asks if he can get you anything.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Randall lets his beer and is like, could you top
this off? Actually because I have a people we're gonna
we're gonna need to lubricate the socials.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Oh oh, of course, sir, of course, anything for a hero.
And he takes your he takes your mug and he
walks off with it through that again, that hidden door,
now you guys kind of see where it is.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Okay, so he said anything for a hero YEP, Rangel's
space just dropped.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Just I don't know what to tell you, but I mean,
did get the the post the post heroes Welcome.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
It was not on purpose, I assure you. I guess
this was what was available.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
The weirdness apart. I'm gonna lean up against the table.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Intem sitting down on a chair, gets up and starts
pacing some.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
Shaw. You want to tell us what happened out there, buddy?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Do?
Speaker 12 (13:00):
Okay, all right, so so shall I haven't back down?
He's kind of pacing as well, Yes, so I should.
I could have sworn I had mentioned that I'm not
the only one occupying a special.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Rangel's just nodding. It's like, yeah, actually you didn't. But
you know that's partially on us.
Speaker 12 (13:26):
Like you said, like, I'm in control.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
But I.
Speaker 12 (13:34):
Know, as much as it's been much to ask you
to trust me, but I am in control.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
It's just.
Speaker 14 (13:43):
You know, the tragedy that I felt my TEP. You've
told us a little bit about it, So I just
wonder if it what what do you want to know?
What would put your mind in this.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Is there anything in there that's supposes a threat to
either view or to us?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I cannot imagine any such me.
Speaker 12 (14:10):
I mean, there's the souls of my fellow monks.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I vouch for all of them.
Speaker 12 (14:17):
There are a few who are too really close to
me who occasionally.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Will pop in and say.
Speaker 12 (14:25):
I can I can channel them if I need to,
But it's tremendously taxing, and I do admit that I've
been having conversations with Salna.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
They've been a bit strange.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Do you think it has something to do with us,
like we're throwing off your equilibrium?
Speaker 6 (14:46):
There?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
There is some some tension dividual.
Speaker 15 (14:51):
The crew here specifically.
Speaker 12 (14:57):
I guess the best way to explain it is a
few of my monk or concerned that I'm distracted.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
From the causes.
Speaker 12 (15:08):
We understand it, and I believe that working with you
enable me to do what I need to, But it's
oftentimes be kind of felling their.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Frustrations, their invatience.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
When we first met, I remember you saying that Apole point.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
At this needs to get knowledge about yes simple right.
Speaker 12 (15:31):
And my hope was that maybe the library strut Stable
is helping that. That seems like you're being a good resource.
But as we've seen, things are not all that they
should be, and.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
They specifically to bar. Do you do you want to
speak to them?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Well, I'll put that up to vote if anybody else does.
Speaker 10 (16:02):
Do you.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Suppose I can? I suppose I can?
Speaker 12 (16:07):
You know I hesitant with to Vonn because he tends
to be a little aggressive, to the point where he
may not let me take control back too easily.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I assure you I can, but it'll be a little.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Bit of an argument, and.
Speaker 12 (16:27):
You don't know of for you.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Let's do that another day when you haven't already had
someone else in day receive.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Fair enough?
Speaker 12 (16:41):
So so yes, Tovar, he was always my rather aggressive brother,
you know when we were not. I suppose you can
find your own family and we're all members of the temple.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
To Von is very determined two seek tensions.
Speaker 12 (17:07):
I have not been able to find a Sharin in
quite a while, and he's.
Speaker 11 (17:10):
Very impatient.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
Sharon other members of your order, isn't.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Let's just say, if I encounter a Sharin, I don't
know if I would be enjoy myself.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
I don't practice.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Sorry, the Sharans are the ones who attack, right.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
Okay, what if we are causing tension amongst your red
What could we do to reassure them that while we
have immediate concern that solving that problem will lead to
their befits getting out to hybory backs.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I don't know if it's an I better for you
to do. My mind, it's a matter of me finding
some information.
Speaker 10 (18:05):
I do believe.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I do believe Strickxhaven would have some knowledge that I seek.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
So as long as.
Speaker 12 (18:13):
We can work together on writing the situation there, I
think fat building.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Reduce some of the tensions on.
Speaker 12 (18:21):
You know, they know that we are working towards the book,
which I keep telling them.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Hence, just let them know that one of my main
goals is in fact to get the cookbooks out of
the library and get the books back in.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
So absolutely well if any of them got a problem
with that, they can take it up with.
Speaker 15 (18:39):
It's a very It's hard to explain because it's not
quite like a possession, but it's like having another mind
inside of the olds that is constantly.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Focused on something else.
Speaker 12 (18:55):
That makes any sense, child's going to like glance to forte. Yeah, yeah,
how do you manage?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (19:08):
Mind's less some.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Of my control.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I don't I have lost a lot of agency.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I can't I can't really fight it well. And at
least I hope that gift me. I hope you realize that.
Speaker 14 (19:20):
You can find some sense of as I suppose I
just need to kind of fight.
Speaker 12 (19:26):
I really do appreciate the gifts.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Things things like this, like you've seen how I am
with umber.
Speaker 10 (19:31):
Things like this kind of make me more to the
forefront of my my my body and my mind.
Speaker 12 (19:40):
And notice I got the eyes right, you did, You
did exactly right perpetual scale.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yes, but I understand if you all are uncomfortable, it's less.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
That and I want to make sure you're okay, and
i'd be I don't. I don't want to speak for everybody,
but I would it's comfortable for you. I would like
to meet some more your friends. And we were just
taken back by Gary, I think because Gary came out
of nowhere.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Yeah, yeah, I actually got to say that. Gary know,
he seems like a really nice guy.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Gary says, thank you.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Yeah, don't take it personal. We were just surprised.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
So so I suppose the big question here is gonna ask.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
I, having seen what you did, I've got some idea
of it, but please complete by all means.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yes, I don't think Umbra really cares. How does this work?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Boy is gonna nut when he finds out this is badass?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Well, oh, tell me, was a mountain had a dream,
I would, I wouldn't have been able to climb down,
but there was the tree. So upon my reawakening.
Speaker 12 (21:03):
A century after the fight, I went a little crazy
and just took to occupying my hands and what one
of one of the voices, I think it is the
name I suggested crafting.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
The mask, and I don't.
Speaker 12 (21:27):
Understand her reasoning for it, but I felt compelled to
do so, and to harve out the name of every.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Single one of my brothers and sisters who had died.
This this is what keeps me crowded to my my pardess.
This is my penance.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
What I Cali visibly shivers.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
What are you paying tenants for? You do anything more?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
It's not a gift that I don't know what it is.
I shouldn't have commuted do that? Why need I don't.
I don't know what it is. I don't shall shall
I understand?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Like Trump here, he's very Is it a gift?
Speaker 10 (22:12):
Is a gift?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Rangel? Just buddy, I completely understand. I'm not wanting to
be chosen for something by the gods. I completely understand.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
No, this.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Terrifies confuses me. I've been alone for so long. I'm
so sorry if I've let everything he's don't get me.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
No, no, no circumstances, buddy never I don't know. That's
their only.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
One on the chopping block. Here is Forte and like
a finger.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I'm looking out for all of you. To the best
of them.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
We're not going anywhere unless I want to.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I should have been. I don't know all of this house,
and you don't have to.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
It's it's you did nothing act was getting really like,
did nothing wrong?
Speaker 11 (23:26):
When in the end of this, we just.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Want to support you and know what we can do
to help. And here's a big question, and I'm sorry
that's weird. If you had the choice, would you want
to let your brother's free from being in your mind
(23:50):
or would you like to stay well put them on
when you're sharing his body.
Speaker 16 (23:59):
I want to know insurance attacked. I want to ensure
there's a future for the FAC. I feel like if
I can.
Speaker 12 (24:09):
If I can meet those two goals, I might be
able to assent.
Speaker 11 (24:17):
Those sisters.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
I hate saying that that you accept that maybe.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
There's no man I refuse to believe. Allow there's there's
meaning in everything.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
No, I can't I get that.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Hum m h.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
It may not be some divine causemic meaning, but there
there's meaning me creative.
Speaker 12 (24:50):
Maybe I'm setting my own future, my goals, and still
don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
It's a.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Well, I'd really appreciate meaning and everything. I hate to
tell you this, buddy, but faith doesn't exist.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Ship like that doesn't work.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Well if there, If there was, then somebody's got a
lot of answer to do for me.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I can't. I can't eat me. There was no faith.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
There's faith, but faith can be a complete bitch.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Well, deliberance kind of just crosses her arms.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
Yeah, faith is a very big conversation. I think it
makes system your deliberance. But sometimes sometimes things don't mean anything.
Atimes things mean the world. It seems simple and stupid
to say that's a big conversation.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Seconeing to pitch right, can I interject? Is any are
you guys all still standing? Oh?
Speaker 9 (26:06):
No, you're sitting due.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
I'm leaned up against you know what? Actually, after after
I resigned to take the rest of the conversation out
because she does not like the concept of faith and
thinks having purpose. She takes a seat.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
You feel like pins and needles through your body. And
as this conversation is happening through the secret door, the
same waiter comes in hands Randrill his beer. Oh, sir,
I thought you left. I'm so sorry. And then he
(26:44):
walks up to deliver and says, oh, what can I
get for you?
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Hard liquor and something that'll I don't know, fill my stomach.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Of course, anything for a hero, and he walks off
back through the door.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Not a fan of this conversation.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
I'm so you guys can continue your discussion of faith.
Speaker 5 (27:12):

be doing that. That is, I don't need to be
a hero. I don't need accolades.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I just.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
You're on a mission from your gods.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Yeah, what needs you to be a hero? I really
don't know that. That's I'm looking. It's gonna sound incredibly stupid.
I'm looking for a gold apple. I don't know that
the bit of the world is hanging in the balance
looking for gilded frunt.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I mean, even counting the stranger things think about.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I'm wrong, that's true, Owl, I mean, okay, yeah, I'm
at jeff uh.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Okay, if a goddess gave you a mission, that's important.
They don't just go handing out what less endeavors.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
So I really haven't asked any of y'all your your backstories.
