23:42[00:00] Another one of those ancient lands. Yeah, there is a lot of history underneath those, I think, all of us. Some of us which are tonight, which we're enjoying. But history takes a lot of effort to properly understand.
[00:13] And they miss a few spots. History underneath very much like all of us. Some of us were charged with murder and destroy. But history takes a look at assets properly and they missed a few spots.
[00:43] Nailed it. Okay.
[01:01] Hmm. Whoa. Whoa. That guy left with super derpy.
[01:15] I like it.
[01:28] I should have killed you back then. But I was right. That's what. You're breaking every law we live by.
[01:40] I will follow it. Join me! Don't be a fool dying for outdated ideals born from fear!
[01:52] The all-curseful fountain cow has made it on like you. I'll welcome them.
[02:11] I've had my fill of studying the metals like a rat. You still don't understand. Oh.
[02:28] Oh! He had his team for him.
[02:52] Don't get that yet, I guess. You don't understand that things have changed.
[03:20] I'm alive. Feel the power surging through this place. No, you didn't. I did. I found what was missing the last time, and you could have been a part of it.
[03:36] But you never wanted to see the truth about the world and about me. Are they at great value?
[03:49] No. No! And those are the chains that bound him to the cobalt layer.
[04:04] Oh, shit. Yeah, he's going to get that.
[04:26] I'm going to have to go back to the
[04:42] You don't have a lot.
[04:56] You are not controlling my strength. This is too much. No. You don't understand.
[05:08] It's one thing to be honest. You have to be. Thanks, Solid Freeze.
[05:27] Appreciate you, buddy. Black Rock. Bag.
[05:42] I was wrong. Beg me, and maybe I'll consider it.
[05:55] Don't. Don't let it take me. Who's a fool? Who? You're the right sucker. You're the right one.
[06:07] You refused me. My God. I didn't mean it. I wouldn't. We believe in the same rule. You know I try. But we both want the same thing. I was wrong.
[06:27] I'm sorry, but that doesn't undo a single thing. That's wrong. Can I help him instead if you don't want to?
[06:41] Help! So, do you have any idea what that's insane? No. Tell me. If you invite a Brachyad in, you save their souls from being torn apart,
[06:54] turned into a heap of painful scrap. And from melding into the thing, the mind behind this place, whatever it is.
[07:06] Please. There's everywhere. In my brain. In my body. In my heart. No, I'm not myself. Please. Please. Do you understand?
[07:18] Yet the Dracula you invite will stay within you, forever echoing in your thoughts. You'd better think it through.
[07:32] You should do it, Macra. You've known him. Makes more sense. No, Cullen. I thought I could, but I was wrong. I'm sorry, Rebecca. Please, please don't leave me.
[07:47] He reminds me of what he did to me. He was every second of it as vivid in my memory as it was the day after. I despise him, I hate him, and I... I want to heal.
[08:01] Oh man! I need it! Oh! This is tough!
[08:13] This is tough!
[08:31] Mmm Why do you care about him though I care about condemning a dude.
[08:44] That's what I'm more concerned about, man. I don't want, like, I don't know if I necessarily, I kind of feel bad about what we did to Ambrose now, yeah. So.
[08:59] You know what? This is our human run. Sorry, I can't do it. It's too much.
[09:11] I can't either, your friend. I won't have what you've done to me echo in my mind for eternity. Sorry. I can't and won't do that for myself. Enough.
[09:23] I'll finish the work. But that's all I can offer you. Look. So much for the great Isbrand.
[09:47] Wow. Why did he exile you, Lachra? Someone had to be punished for dabbling in this sort of magic. to make sure no one ever tried again.
[10:01] Brancis roped me into it. And his brand didn't want to harm, or worse, get rid of, his prodigy. So he made an example out of me. Brancis, he didn't care about you?
[10:14] He did, just not enough to do anything about it. Damn. His brand hoped that would be enough, that Brancis would learn to respect the limits, abide by his sire's word
[10:28] didn't quite work out, did it? What is the goal of the ritual? Nothing good. Not for us or anyone living in the valley. Rens is... I think he yearns for power
[10:42] from the place we've just left. To what end exactly, that I don't know. But you felt the force of presence in there. There is no benevolence to any of them. So, Death himself, I'm already thinking about when we're going to do this.
[10:58] Super Chat, I so want to see another playthrough where you collect all the vampires. Ambrose in particular comments a lot on quests, and he's honestly kind of a pro. So we're playing this, Cohen, as kind of a human-oriented, human-first kind of run, right?
[11:18] We're not drinking the major vampires. we're helping all the people that we come across we're going to join the rebels like that's the trigger but honestly I'm already super interested in doing a playthrough where we play
[11:33] a subservient Coen whose goal is to not only kill Grimpses but absorb his power so I feel like
[11:45] drink every vampire help all the vampires given it in every opportunity, maybe not even worry about saving the family. Like, you know, it's going to be a very different run. So I'm kind of curious to do that,
[11:58] just to see how far Rebel Wolves went in making those playthroughs different. So, yeah. I think that's going to be fun to do down the road.
[12:11] I think I have a response. Think quickly. It was shocking, of course, to find him the way we did. But I shan't mourn him. No. Yeah, well, we'll play that run shortly after the next Starcraft comes out.
[12:24] Who are the ogres? Hmm? I have no idea what you're talking about. He's burned. He mentioned them. Said they'd punish Brintis for what he'd done. A madman's mufferings.
[12:37] You do know who the ogres are. You're not telling us. And once we find her, George, right? What do we do? We figure out how to interrupt the thing. and then we face our furious Kinyas.
[12:54] Mm-hmm. Are you sure we're not too late? If we were, we'd know. The valley as you know it would be gone.
[13:07] So we found out about his plans. How does that help us? Other than giving us another reason to kill him? Well, first of all, this will stop him from growing even more powerful than he already is.
[13:19] Secondly, Svartral lies over ancient ruins. Ruins that extend under the whole city. Cool. I've seen some of them. Then you know how far we go.
[13:31] Yeah, you have seen... We've seen the one under the... There's a good chance these corridors are the same as the one in the dungeons. Ah, so we kill two birds with one stone. Indeed. We mess up Brancis' plans and take the back door into Greifberg
[13:45] shouting, Surprise! You seem surprisingly relaxed. About? Facing brothers. Facing death.
[13:57] Oh, death and I are very well acquainted. It would be like seeing an old friend. Do you want to tell that right away? Not quite. We know our next step.
[14:10] But there's something that might be worth checking out first. What is it? Let's take a breather first. My mind is racing. I'm trying to think of whatever can help us
[14:22] because I feel like we'll need it all. But what we need the most right now is a bit of rest. Don't worry, I won't forget what it was. Fair enough. I'll see you soon.
[14:38] Oh, talk to Lachra in a day. Okay. You can do that. Awesome. Take a look at our level. Ooh, piercing streak.
[14:59] Interesting. Isn't it just that? Huh. What do you think about that part? That was great. It was very cool. I liked it a lot.
[15:11] Extends ratio of currently active retractabilities with each landed block. Now we're gonna go to here.
[15:27] Then to... Oh god. additional soldier patrols and patrol commanders now recognize Cohen oh lord
[15:48] my god okay okay for here we're gonna make you do this guy no extend the duration of these, which is great.
[16:03] Let's see. Going back to here, we have two more perks. We're going to do sword mastery. We've gotten all of this done, which is great. We need just a couple more to get our really good thing done here. I wish I had more of these, man. I want to get, like, artery strike up and stuff, but I don't have any.
[16:19] Maybe weapon critical hit would be good. Let's check. okay let's see let's do
[16:31] there we go great okay we'll do that for now
[16:46] um all right we're gonna go to Hmm here Head to Squartrow Plaza by daylight Great We waiting a long time for this quest I hope doing this isn going to like take out our stuff with uh Lachra but we see
[17:15] I think Ani Musa
[17:31] I'd love to eventually I just haven't had time yet but I would love to eventually yes Ani Musa looks awesome
[17:45] Here. Oh, hey, girl, what's up? Like the red and blue pants, Sarah? Yeah. Who else did you expect?
[17:57] Just stick close to me and act normal, all right? Does this mean I finally get to join your guild?
[18:10] All the members still need to vote to accept you. Vote? Haven't I done enough already? We'll find out soon enough. And if I don't hear the votes?
[18:22] What then? Let's be positive, eh? That frown is a bad look on you. Wow. Why did you want to meet here? There's guards everywhere. Exactly.
[18:34] Sometimes it's hardest to see what's right under your nose. Had to step out still for a bit. Did we find out why Lycra had her teeth removed? Yes. So what happened is, Brensis convinced Lycra to look into some ancient power in a ruin,
[18:51] and Isselbrand, for some reason, had outlawed doing that. So when Isselbrand found out that Brensis and Lycra, by proxy, were delving in this really forbidden stuff,
[19:06] to punish Brensis... Oh, Lycra, not Lycra, Lycra. Okay, Lycra. to punish Brentus he had Brentus pull all of
[19:18] Lakra's teeth out so Lakra was punished because Brentus convinced Lakra to do whatever the dark thing was that they were doing there yep Isbrand
[19:31] Issel no Issel Issel Isbrand yeah like when you and that is abnormal didn't you get it alright Maybe first.
[19:43] Oh, that's more like it. Let's go. All right. Let's go. Five. We'll be back at the...
[19:56] 500. Oh, we're running. Okay, you want to run, girl? We'll run. All right, we're doing it. Guys, let's find a different route.
[20:08] I know this will be well. I've had time to get to know it How long have you been doing this? Six months So, with everything that's been Oh Weavers
[20:22] Thank you, LSBT Guess I wasn't far off going into Guild Come on, mate We'll get you a new coat Yeah
[20:38] Everyone is already waiting for you Great, thanks
[21:08] Tell everyone about this And you're a dead man All eyes here, men
[21:20] This is Cohen Listen None of us has any love for the Brachyri We'd watch them burn and call it justice But this one
[21:33] He's different The sun didn't take him We could use strength like his, and he has already proven his worth. So tell me then, should Cohen become one of us?
[21:49] Aye. Aye.
[22:05] Aye. Ha! Nice. He was so angry. Aye.
[22:18] Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Good old boy.
[22:37] Nani.
[22:50] Hi. You won the vote, Cohen. You won a vote now. Oh. Oh, I thought it was a unanimous vote.
[23:02] Interesting. Hmm. I thought... Beyond sheer joy, of course. Well, shall we get straight to the point? Should we talk about the one guy that said no? Yes.
[23:14] You and the Hatter, the people in when they're only half welcome. Your candidacy's a little trickier than most. We have reasons to be wary. That's right. I'm here to help.
[23:27] Sure. Drinking blood while you're at it. Enough. The majority has spoken. As for the rest, you just have to prove them wrong, Cullen. and I have just the task for you.
[23:42] When do we storm the castle? We have preparations to make. Anyway, thanks for letting me in. Super glad I'm here. When do we storm the castle? By chance.
[23:54] There's no denying you've proved your worth out there, but loyalty is built through shared hardships and time. Are we there yet? In other words, by completing my assignments. Okay, I figured it out.
[24:06] I'm ready. Good. Come. I've just lost four men. More than I can afford. What happened?
[24:18] That's what I've been trying to find out. Oh. Well, that's not good. Oh, God. Sir.
[24:37] Cohen, this is Lyos. Lyos, Cohen. Hey. You did this to him. This place can easily be compromised, even by just one person.
[25:04] Jesus, when we suspect betrayal, we don't take half measures. What makes you any better than Prentiss? Excuse me?
[25:16] I saw what he'd do if it's a nerd. Now I'm watching you do the same thing to this man. What makes you any better? I don't enjoy it. That's it? Nothing more? I've got better hair, too.
[25:31] Not the time, friend. not the time to be charming and funny. All right Who is he Lyle says or should I say was one of us he was part of the missing group
[25:46] I... I don't know what happened I don't he's lying you want me to, what, interrogate him?
[25:58] no Drogos is taking care of that he'll pay you another visit soon, Laios No, no, please! I want you to find those missing scouts.
[26:11] Why did you show them to me then? As a warning? To intimidate me? Well, did it work? No. Good. Isn't this getting a bit old?
[26:24] The distrust routine. Old, tiresome, yet absolutely necessary. I proved my worth. You said so yourself. well he did once too fine let's talk details
[26:42] where do you want to start? any idea what happened to the scouts? I have two theories first that Laios sold them out to the soldiers if that's true they're probably dead second that they're
[26:58] all deserted. And Laios was the only one stupid enough to let us catch him. If that's what happened, I want to find the deserters. Before they start talking. Why do you suspect Laios?
[27:13] After the South vanished, we found him in a cavern. Dead drunk, alongside some of Brentis' soldiers. I heard you didn't say why. He arrived at the rendezvous point after his patrol. But no one else was there. So he went
[27:26] to the tavern and tried asking the soldiers, thinking they might know something. You have to admit, not the best line of defence.
[27:42] Oh, have you checked the rendezvous point? No. The guards might be waiting to ambush us there, and I can't afford to lose even more men. But you can afford to lose one dodgy half-rack here.
[27:55] Your words, not mine. Why would they want to desert? You'll understand the temptation soon enough. We're constantly looking over our heads. I don't know what... Is something happening to his
[28:08] left eye? Or is it just a weird camera angle? Second guessing every word. It's like trusting nobody. The eye-brac... The eyelash is going through the eye... It is! The eye...
[28:20] Okay. They need to fix that. Oh, my God. That is sticking out like a sore thumb to me. I just realized... I was like, what is happening? It's the eyelash is going through, like, that little bit over his eye.
[28:33] Okay. What was the scout's admission? I'm going to unplug my computer. My brother's soldiers, they've been acting quite suspicious lately. Moving prisoners under cover of night. Paying double for certain supplies. My men were supposed to sniff around.
[28:46] Figure out what it all meant. They picked up a trail. led them to Neustadt. Neustadt? Like I told you, it all went quiet. Hmm.
[28:59] I'd like to ask you one thing, Craig. Yes? Don't phone Laius's interrogation until I return. If I find evidence of his guilt,
[29:13] do whatever you think is necessary. And if you don't? We'll discuss what to do then. But first, prove to me that you're a better man than Prentiss. How ironic.
[29:26] A Varkir urging me to act human. Will you wait? I'll consider it. Anything else? All clear? I'm on it. That's what I like to hear.
[29:39] Now go. We can hold off on Loyal's. But not for long. I'll be back as soon as possible. Good. My scouts ought to be keeping watch from the house with the pink facade.
[29:51] Search it. Be sure to check the attic. Owen, don't get yourself killed, will you? I'll try my best.
[30:06] Owen has heterochromia? Yeah, he got that because he's a Don Walker. Owen! It's so good to see you again. Hey, Vladimir. Ah. Look what the cat dragged in.
[30:19] Still hungry with me? Are you surprised? No, your reaction. I could have predicted it. I could have predicted the whole thing. I've been hard at work here.
[30:32] Trying to make up my mistakes. Trying to make sure our sacrifices in Lasley were not in vain. Together we'll prevail.
[30:44] Ah, that's the spirit. Yeah, I'm not going to give him too much more gas. That was enough. I'm so glad you joined us.
[30:58] You know what happened tonight? Yeah. Things they've done to me. Oh, Jesus. Oh. You know, they nearly got me too, that day. I've left the mill to go to the city.
[31:10] By the time I got back, he was gone. I'm glad you were spared that fate. For now, yeah. But doing what we do, each day you feel Brents breathing down your neck.
[31:29] Why didn't you take part in the voting? Only those in crakes in a circle can. Oh, and you're not one of them? In spite of your merits, in spite of last year?
[31:42] Craig didn't like how I handled that yeah speaks well of his judgment heyo I got my first assignment can you help me
[31:55] because they were I did sorry I've got my own stuff to take care of oh I'll render listen well then after last year
[32:08] I requested nothing but silver that way If I ever mess up again, no one else will pay the price. That's fair, dude. You've got some stuff to work through. That's fair.
[32:20] Listen, I've got to go. Of course. You have an urgent task. But, uh, first, take this for old-time's sake. Thank you, Vlad.
[32:34] Don't mention it. And if you ever feel like shooting the breeze, now you know where to find me. Okay? Where's Mert right now? Mert? We got Mert out. Yeah, Mert I think is good. Oh, a counterattack manual.
[32:47] Oh, cool, okay. Nice, man. Yeah, Mert we got out, and he's good, and he did everything he could with him.
[32:59] Am I max counterattack? Maybe. Weird. Chat? What a flippin' pleasure. Man, we got over five hours of streaming done this morning.
[33:12] I started way early. We've got 15 days left in this game. Things are going super well. Loving this run. And we are absolutely going to continue this tomorrow. We're going to start with some Valheim and probably do an afternoon of this.
[33:24] And then I'm hoping tomorrow we can get into a cozy and continue at least another Star Wars Zero Company mission. And some more Star Wars 2. Because I'm anxiously looking forward to getting back to that. Guys, thank you so much for being here. Hope you have a great rest of your day.
[33:37] What I'm going to do now is take you over to Pat's Co. Twitch.tv slash co. If you want to hang out there for about, man, less than an hour. As soon as I get back, we're going to wave back to my channel here. And we've got a drop range today.
[33:49] We've got lots to talk about. So we'll be doing all sorts of chattery at that point. So anyway, thank you so much, guys. Have a great morning, afternoon, or evening, wherever you are around the globe. And a quick reminder, if you want to check out the Emberville prologue, we did a full playthrough of it a couple days ago.
[34:03] Turns out, game's cooking. it's cooking alright guys thanks so much for being here see y'all later have a good one bye bye
