[24:05] my new found valor and crept into the beast master's quarters, lockpick in hand. When I freed the giant, it gazed at my fair visage with a look that screamed, "I've got my eye on you." before blowing
[24:22] a hole through the dungeon wall. Needless to say, I haven't been invited back to the royal court. >> You don't say. You don't say. No Okay. >> I've got my eye on
