to use it hide your wives.You know, I ain't got no wolf.
It's all right. The town together, Je Troue Bridge, Jeff sort
of like leans anywhere where? Wherewhere are you going going to bridge?
So all just Troue Bridges State.Oh okay, I know where that's up
(02:40):
and he starts leading me that way. That was kind of crazy, guys,
so weird thirty minutes. Yeah,I thought I was gonna coolnail flail.
Who do you think? Who doyou think was trying to get us
city? Yeah? Everybody wanted townyeah, chatter and plays. So he
(03:04):
really came through for us there.Yeah, I won't question him anymore.
Well, you know, we werethrowing a hand. Couldn't tell that we
were getting led into a trap.I don't think I was in short order.
Bill turns around says, hey,um, a little bit of traffic.
Uh, it's like there maybe stoppingcarriages a collective, get my bat.
(03:35):
Do you have any chickens, chickenchickens, chickens? What would you
need chickens? Have a couple ofchickens. Everybody loses sight to what's actually
going on. Quite an easy.That plane worked, it's worked before.
How far away are we? It'slike it's like six carriages ahead of us?
(03:57):
Okay, okay, let's think ya. We gotta think. Um,
I have calm emotions. But it'snot gonna it's not gonna do it here.
It's too too risky, too risky. Um. How far are we
from the estate. Let's call itten blocks? We just get out walk?
Is it? Is it daylight ornighttime hours? Right now? An
(04:20):
invisibility spill. You may have likea giant trench coat on your shoulders and

a sort yeah, um, carriages? How many? How many guards are
there up there? Bill? Itlooks it looks like a lot um twenty
(04:43):
twenty. Maybe we take a differentround is it just one guard check in
the carriage or a bunch of Itlooks like a handful. I don't think
we can take the chance of likegetting out of line, because they're gonna
notice that. I can do thething where I like puked all over a
plague victim. I think we could. I don't know if that'd work.
I think we could get out ofline anything in the carriage. Who can
(05:03):
use the disguish ourselves? How manytimes can I use the rhyme crown once
per long rest? Once per longrest is what we said. Yeah,
once perlong rest. Damn it,I had another one. A little part
of me wants to make it onceper short rest, just because I'm eager
to see what you talk him upwith. Short rest makes sense, but

the fuck I'm telling you time travelportals. He was figuring out a
way to go back in time tohelp us in situations. Arch Major's speaking
in I believe that he sort ofmakes a face at you. Why would
time travel require planetary movement? Wormholes. I guess alignments to create more powerful
(34:50):
spells, to go back in time, to do these things. It's it's
funny you say it. We hadthis um. One about last conversations was
about I'd asked him about time travel. My my wife died. You guys
back and I asked him about timetravel and he kind of laughed, And
(35:14):
apparently any wizard who's ever done anythingwith time travel, it's had to be
you can jump back sixty seconds orsomething like that. Any further than that
and they just disappear into the ether. They never come back. No one
knows why. Apparently it was,you know, it's one of those questions
(35:36):
in arcane knowledge that everyone wishes theycould solve and no one can. M
Well, that's fascinating, but itdoesn't bring us any closer figuring out who
killed him and why they would frameme. I'm good, I didn't do
anything. I'm a good person.I don't feel like I got a lot
(36:10):
of thoughts. It doesn't seem likeanybody actually framed you. Though, Well,
okay, my name is okay,okay, okay, okay, But
by endor can we get okay rightso that we would find the chalkboard we
need So that wasn't anybody framing us. That's how it got interpreted. It
(36:30):
got misinterpreted as as framing as asenator saying this is who killed me,
but it was actually it was himthat wrote our name. Not it wasn't
the It wasn't the kill us.And we need ult we need a corkboard,
(36:53):
um, some strings and some pins, some note cards and sapt's coffee
and I'm He goes out and talksto an assistant and comes back and he
goes, okay before we go anyum, And that's might seem silly.
My name is Troe Bridge because Ifeel like you've been saying troll bridge.
(37:15):
Yeah, like a bridge was undera troll. My name is oh with
a W with a what. Trueit's not troll Bridge. No, true,
like bro Bridge. Bro. We'vebeen wrong this entire time. Well,
I'm sorry, man, I haven'tbeen purposely bridge. I've been a
(37:37):
big big deal. You know itmust be you brought it up. Yeah,
you obviously felt some type of worryabout it. That's fine, it's
all good. I would hate itif you called me bimbo all the time.
So not bimbo. Oh No,it's it's Timm Bmbo, tom Bambo,
Tombo bim Bimbo. Yes, ohmy god, the first time you've
seen any levity on his face.I'm gonna wink at him. Now,
(37:59):
let's get to and what are wedoing? Cards up with names, strings
and shit and like connecting dots like. Okay, Dagger of Yak disappeared into
the Dragon right, all right,the Dagger of Yac was sacrificed outside the
Dragon Bold City and swallowed into after. We feel like we killed, or
(38:22):
the townspeople killed that dark wizard,but we don't have necessarily proof, right,
we don't necessarily have proof that thatdark Wizard actually died. He could
what happened to the Dagger of Yakwhen it actually just disappeared magically? He
said, are you saying this incharacter and out loud? Yes, yes,
when you say that puts his handsout is a lot. That's our
(38:45):
suspect because he was the last onethat okay, he was was the last
one that was around the Dagger ofYak. Yes, he would be the
only one that would How would hehave gone at we were with he imprisoned
us in the Bone City, Yeah, and we escaped and thought we left
(39:08):
him to die at the hands ofthe people if I sacrifice the Dagger of
Yak to the dragon, so it'spossible to stop Jarani Lincton from going after
us. Basically, yeah, Buthow would Garnich Linton have some kind of
(39:32):
connection to this dragon in the waythat he was able to get the Dagger
of Yak from it? I'm probablythe wrong person to ask. Who can
we ask about this? Because Ireally want to know? I mean to
be fair. Who would have known? Is he's a fucking wizard too?
He might be into celestial shit.What I'll tell you is m hm.
(40:00):
While Garnitch did eventually prison the dragon, howco originally it was an agreement,
an agreement the dragon sought more power, Garnich sought to use dragon magic.
It was an agreement originally. Lateron he imprisoned the dragon wants his power
(40:21):
had grown significantly, but initially theywere intertwined. Where is he now?
Do you know his whereabouts? Yes? That's I imagine in the bones citing
what happened in the Bone City.Are people still in prison there? No
one goes to or out of theBone City, so no one knows.
Is there any way we can talkto Halcoon the dragon. Yes, no,
(40:45):
I think the dragon's gone dead,gone just bones. Would Garnich have
anything to gain by Zenador's downfall sothat he could then be the most powerful
magic user on this planet? Apparentlythat feels weird, saying ma does feel
(41:10):
because there's other planets. I guesshe kind of shrugs hot hot for me.
I'm I'm not the person who wouldknow what was ye sorry, right?
Uh m h right? But isthere we we can talk to dead
(41:32):
people? Question? M hmm?What do we miss you? I'm the
spell changed one word so it rhymesand I my sleeves rolled up and huh
specific that h m hmm. I'mstaring at the word. Can I make
(42:01):
an inside check, see if Istumble across any connections or clues that I
may have missed? Not inside youcan do investigation. Yeah, and then
if you roll, well, I'mgonna have to think up something I haven't
already given you. Well, don'tworry. Um A five four. I
think while you're staring at it,it's like incomprehensible chaos to you, Like
(42:27):
you're looking at all of it andyou're like, I know it connects,
but I just don't know how.I don't really understand why. I'll just
where where does David Gorsman play intoall of this and what's happening? Uh
in the with with the Dwarves andGilda Brag and all that right now?
(42:51):
Have you heard the Dwarves? Mhmm, how do you mean? Oh,
you know and other Genna side.Yeah, and there might be there might
be marching h on on might Idon't know. I don't know. I
don't know about that. I don'tknow about anything about that. I don't
um. He sort of makes aface. I we we we look,
(43:15):
we we know that David Goldsman istrying to eliminate He's trying to kill the
Dwarves, an entire race of people. He's trying to kill all of Dwars
tally. It's the Prince of Gildibragwho's trying to do that, and Gorsman
is just providing the weapon in orderto do it. Was a nature of
David's relationship with Zinnador. There reallywasn't one m As far as I know,
(43:45):
you were that Davick's a dark wizardas of recently told me very proud
of how you hunted him. Down. He was constantly talking about you.
Actually, it's it's a little bitof a um, a weird thing to
meet you in person, I guesstalked about for years. Well, yeah,
(44:08):
we just we've been doing good stuff. Yeah, we just met like
everybody rolling inside check years scene minuseleven, fourteen seven twenty not not not
(44:30):
a dirty twenty, only a slightlet's you like at um? All right?
So I think, Tom, youlook back at the board again.
He says that you look back.My sleeves are rolled up, and I'm
drinking coffee, looking tired, myhair perfect. It's staring at this board.
(44:52):
Cop who's been trying to solve theyes exactly demeanor. Um. What's
what's funny about it is like inyour vision, the board actually kind of
fades back, like you're not reallylooking at the board anymore. And what
you hear in your head is earlierwhen he said that he watched you grow
(45:13):
watched you grow up, and yousort of draw a line between that and
what he just said, which isthat he's been talking about you for years.
You guys, you certainly Tom realizedlike we haven't known ex senator for
a year. Yeah, no atall. Yeah, I know he's all
of you find it odd. ButTom is the one who sort of draws
us. How that impossible? Sohe's been so how would he not to
(45:35):
even look at us unless he hadsome semblance of the future and how the
past fits into it? Guys,I think we have a time travel thing
on our hands. Oh man,well, now to what I mean?
I don't know for sure. Iguess it seems um okay. Why would
Zenna door be looking? Why wouldhe be following us before? I mean,
(45:57):
I mean even how long? Doyou know? How many years?
As long as you've known him?No, that would be fifty you hear
some a decade decade he's been talkingabout it. I mean not blue no
what no, no, m We'veall just reached enjoyed two months ago,
(46:22):
saw each other. I think itlike you know, every now and then
we get paired up to like cleanout some rat stalls or like, yeah,
just doing wrong doing night shift work. Yeah, really more a night
ship. Some rat bashion, Alot of rat bashion. Jesus Christ,
so so tiny. They just makeme go down there all the time,
just fucking smash. Do you knowanything about uh time traveler? The possibilities
(46:50):
of well, so opening gateways.Perhaps he must. It must be where
that blue figure comes into play fromthe beginning. To remember, he asked
them about it, and he waslike, oh, confusiatic, wasn't him?
Is that even Zenidor that was originallyin the room with us? That's
what I'm beginning. Enador began actingon at all in recent times, maybe
(47:13):
like he wasn't fully himself. Oneof the last conversations I had with Xenator
was him talking about the first timewe met when we were kids, stuff
that really only he could know.So I don't think so. It sounds
like a man who I mean betweenthis the guests, sounds like a man
(47:37):
not wholly unsurprised by his own death. Did he seem sort of nostalgic to
you towards the end? Um,we're old men, life has passed us
by the I think it's a littlenatural for us to get nostalgic. Um.
(48:02):
If you're asking, was it peculiarhis nostalgia? I don't I think
so. But yeah, I'm notsure why would if zena Or wasn't deed
that blue figure, why would hehave not told us? Yeah? He
(48:22):
did straight up deny it but maybeit was all oh fire, not the
future one. There you go,there you go, So we into because
yeah there was future him president him, didn't know it was him. Yeah,
yeah, strange things happened to wizardswho mess with time. No,
(48:46):
we can't do that. Are wefeeling that? Wait? What are you
quoting? It was just quote sothat his futures in the door. So
if he could see the future,then he would have seen his death coming
(49:08):
and he would have known that hehad to give us the information on that
blackboard for something that only weak andsolve. And he's known about it for
a long time, been planning itfor a long time. M No clue.
This is quite the puzzle. Ifeel like you need like a montage
(49:35):
like reach eating Chinese food. Whenwas the last time you spoke with him
two nights before his death. Didanything he say strike you as him being
different? Any of his actions abit out of the norm? Gave me
(49:57):
a present? What did he giveyou? He sort of makes a face
and hold on and he turns andstrides out of the room, drives back
very shortly and holds up like awristwatch. He always worked like when we
is recognized in this world as awatch or watches in this world. Yeah,
(50:19):
I think time pieces okay, yeah, exist and are reliable. Um
Destro grabs it and starts like tweakingwith the clock dials, turning it and
then we all get transported. No, nothing except that you do that,
which everyone finds a little. It'slike Bill and Ted me, I definitely
(50:45):
investigate it, roll investigation. ButI was helping her no to everything.
Six. I gotta say that beforeit gets thrown um six. Yeah,
it's uh. I think even witha six, it's evident there's more going
(51:07):
on here than than a time thanlike a wristwatch. Like even as you're
looking at it, you're like,all right, handed to me, there's
some layers here. I give itto Tom reluctantly, damn it, um
nine? What can I check?Um? While the time is displayed.
(51:34):
I think even with the nine,you can see that there's layers to this
thing. Like it's got a bunchof different No, I'm not gonna allow
four people to make it. We'restretching at it too. There's like several
different faces as you sort of clickthrough the different um like it's got like
a little circle that can spin onit. It clicks through us a few
(51:55):
different faces, and m are thereany sort of sis that we would recognize
as looking akin to what was onthe blackboard? Weirdly? Uh, No,
symbols, Really, it's it's it'sall numbers. M hmm. Different
(52:17):
faces with different times you can flipbetween. But it appears that it is
measuring time. It's but then you'relike switching to like at different time zone
him or something. Okay, okay, well do you know we know there
was one footprint. That's it.One footprint. Then no Or got stabbed
and as he was dying, walkedover the blackboard and wrote Kestrel's name on
(52:39):
there, right, and somehow hegot the dagger of yac Um. Somehow
the dagger of yak was gotten,which would speak to a magic user somebody,
you know, going in between maybearcane arts and these gifts. I
feel more and more confident that heknew he is going to die, and
(53:00):
then we were meant to come hereand get this watch. One footprint thing
is fucking me. I just don'twant to know how he got the diagrap
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Yeah, that's a key to a
lot of it. You stamped itinto the ground right and disappeared. It
(53:22):
disappeared. It disappeared with the withthe sacrifice to Falcoon. Yeah, we
just assumed that it became part ofthe dragon or whatever. An assistant runs
in what about a breath, um, and calls for Strobridge. He walks
(53:44):
over and they have kind of ahushed conversation, and he turns around and
says, you need to leave.There are people here for you next time
on the night shift. So what'sgonna happen is, as soon as you
exit that back gate, Um,you guys, hear bolts and arrows fly
(54:05):
over your head, none of themparticularly close, um, but that is
the immediate thing that you're here.
