conclusion. In the meantime let's check in with Max. And so he goes, how'd you get sick? Well you see Governor when you're in places like we are.
It's not very often but you get the opportunity to get your hands dirty. You see there's this fascinating void between worlds that I found myself in. Not on purpose mind you. But I fell from a great height.
I was in there for three years evidently. It felt like about a few seconds back in eternity. It never sensed the cost has come due. You see that's the funny thing about the onyx veil.
Everything you do has a cost in one way or another. Queen to F2. And so he goes, interesting, interesting. I assume are you being here that my bombs are more or less handled not to be sick.
Why would you think that? Oh I know Sally was there. And I know Sally was meant to stop you so either hey you killed her and I didn't hear a gunshot or Sally went soft on me. Ben as they say there are many ways to skin a cat if you will.
So maybe. And so he goes, and so he goes, I know that you bought a paper and I know from the earliest I'll say it you might search it into me. What did you find? Curious.
What did I find about you? I think the most egregious thing that I found was your little plant at the hospital. And you still haven't put that together about how it connects to everything on the D6. I can't say that I have.
I know that. Per the words of the former medical director. You he preferred that the cream of the crop continue to rise to the top at the behest of the low lives the lesser they would be the ones that maintain the upper crust. Night to C3.
And he goes, well that was a boon on behalf of the medical director themselves. There were some other perks as well. King Side Castle. Where there and what was that?
Well you see you could swap out organs you could also swap out a nose swap out and I'm all swipe out anything really and truly make somebody look like another person entirely make somebody look like they have an identical twin. Fascinating. Queen Side Castle. Pawn to see Faf.
So you had people hiding in plain sight not only maintaining the upper crust but you were able to plant people and replace people without anyone knowing. How do you think the church members get so much intel? As much as I hate to say it's good man. That is pretty damn clever.
I showed how you got mine until now. How do you get yours? 94. Well long story short you've got ears and low places so do I.
There's plenty of urchins and low lives running around here that'll work for you but that helps them sustain their lives. And even more so when it's a lot to give them a bit of a more comfortable one. You'd be surprised how a little bit of respect goes a long way of giving up. There he goes.
Ah yes so that's why the paper boy is unionized. Castle to E8 and that's where we're going to move on back to Abner. It's me. And so Abner, Julie and a Westchester is guiding you around to the dance floor.
And she goes do you dance very often? As often as I can my darling. And so as she dances along with you and she goes so it's when you decided to enter politics. It was a recent decision a little bit rash on my part I'll admit but might you find it a bit fun.
Well that's good I'm glad you're having fun with it. But I'm a very strong support in the city my boy know I'd like your truth and answers. As only I could give you. And that answer is there is a reason I ran aside from well the fun of it.
My mother as you may have noticed is less than savory at least in my opinion and a lot of others. And she goes and one of the things you're noticing as you dance around everybody is looking at admiration whereas the patriarch of the Westchester family has been really garnered a legacy for business and everything. Julianne and Westchester has actually garnered a reputation for all things so I'll end the day giving back really truly a beacon in the community. So you currently talking with her is a good sign for the campaign overall.
Don't get my mom killed. Do the best I can. And so is there anything you want to do in regards to that looking around? I'll do another survey.
Yeah it's a survey. Oh my god it's a six in a one. You're having a really fun time dancing. You've never danced in a while.
You feel really fancy like the ball. But not noticing anything. And so as she's kind of currently dancing with you and everything and she goes you've worked a lot with my son yes. I have a deed.
What are your thoughts on my son? You can be a bit bland sometimes but he's also quite lovely to work with. Yes his head can be filled with minute thoughts. I've noticed.
And as the song finishes she goes thank you for that. Now I must ask what's your relationship with your mother like? I believe it was quite obvious up there. It's not pleasant.
Has she got why? She I'm sure you're aware of these rivers by now seen as my family was part of the upper crush at one point but she drank and gambled away all of our money left without any notice from me or well the servants that relied on our family and now is back and expects great things for herself but doesn't seem to want to reconcile what she's done before. Have you asked her to reconcile? It's a bit difficult when she comes on the arm of the governor and threatens to flood the city.
She kind of looks like oh flood the city as if she's never heard this until this time. Oh I'm sorry. I believe we all I believe some of us knew and I wasn't sure how much contact you've had with your son but yes my mother does plan on flooding the city though saying that in the public forum just makes me sound a bit crazy doesn't it? She goes no no.
You've definitely sealed my vote. Thank you madam. I want to give her a hug but I okay so my brain a lot of the outfits they're wearing are kind of Victorian-esque which means she would be wearing a dress but that also means dresses had pockets in those days so I kind of I want to slip the thing that locks gave me into her pocket because I'm concerned about her. Okay all right and so yeah what would you think the role would be for that?
For death. That's role for this. I have two with that. It's a four to five.
All right yeah you successfully slip it in there and she turns and she walks away at that time and as you turn the back you turn immediately and your mother's there. He's spectacular. Oh look at her mother did you want to dance? And she goes it's been a very long time since we've danced to mother and son.
It has shall we? That's... And so she's dancing with you and she goes you seem rather tense. Is everything all right?
Everything is absolutely wonderful mother just getting a lay of the land you know seeing who's here what's going on all of that. Seems like you're also trying to stop something. You from winning the election we're competing against each other mother I don't know if you're aware of the situation. And she goes oh I'm aware of that I'm aware of that but you also your eyes have been darting around more than just everywhere tonight.
Well I don't think it's any surprise that a lot of the stagehands here and I are friends and I'm making sure that everything is running as smoothly as possible. Are you the stage manager? I can do a little bit of both. It's so funny that you say that.
Because it's true. Life imitates art. And so she goes well and she looks here and she goes and I know things have not been perfect between us but I really want the church of the cleansing flood to be a chance for us to start with me. I don't believe this is the way to do so mother.
You could have at least said hello when you got back into town rather than deciding to shack up with the governor and doing whatever it is you're doing. And she goes where cleansing the city of its corruption and its foundess. And yet you're still here. Derm!
And she was about to say something else. She ain't got no free. That's here. And she goes well I have no.
And to you mother what is it you're planning this evening? And she goes to convince you to save yourself. What's your god I could be able to accomplish that. And so she looks a little stung by this but she turns and walks away.
Good. You can't come back and just expect it to be all nice. Alright and so let's move back to Lee. So Lee basically even kind of been doing this dodging thing.
He goes you can't really dodge everything. And what are you going to do now? Keep dodging. So I'm going to use my documents.
Actually I have a question first. So can you describe this armor for me from the chest up? So basically kind of think of it as kind of think of it as like juggernaut armor which is a lot what they used to like disable bombs in the military but more metal. There's a lot more it's like they took like boiler plates and they strapped it to them.
So but it's a lot more movable more or less. Yeah kind of like that. Great. So the parts I'm assuming he has a helmet on.
Yes. Okay. What does that helmet like? It looked like how does he see out and does he have neck guards and underneath on there in this picture that we're looking at.
There's parts underneath the armpit right here and down the sides that are open. Are they also open as we spot the armpit and under the sides are open. The neck is not. And basically what it is is there are slits like this through it and he's able to see out that way.
Slits. How thick are the slits in the helmet? About inch and half thick. And are you talking about how far they can see roughly about that much?
I'm going to slits it there. Eight. The mask doesn't have that. It seems very like night helmet.
It's very night helmet. Okay. So. All right.
Well, I'm going to take a page out of Abner's bed and use my documents to crumpled them up slightly and shove them in some of the slits. To win blades on the right. What do you think would be the role for that one? I'm also going to be using Jack to help me out to try to get him to get his claws into the helmet so that like it's pushing it into place but also keeping his head in the same place.
Like landing on top of him while also stabilizing him in the same area. All right. So let's see here. What do you believe would be the role for that?
I would say hunt. Okay. What's your hunt? One, five, two.
All right. With the five, you're able to do that and everything. So his vision is a little bit black. So swings are coming around a little bit more wildly and everything and Jack was able to help out with that as well.
Great. Now I'm going to as how much of his vision is obscured? So with a five, you're going to say out of the eight slits, you get three on which sides where? This side.
Okay. So then I'm going to try to get as close to the ground as possible and keep dodging and then take out one of my knives and try to slink past. And as I slink past as left side, go and stab underneath where the armpit meets kind of like the side of the body there. That's a prowl role.
One, two, five. All right. You're able to sneak past and everything. And now you guys, you kind of like come up and everything and raise up this dagger to stab.
We're going to switch over to locks. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Now my question is, yes. Well, I know what Abner's doing.
I know where you are. But where is Captain Tindall? Bishop to D3. The captain is doing what the captain knows best.
Besides, we've been able to keep tabs on the oil captains. What should I say, your Sergeant Majors? Sergeant Major Blackwell is a very efficient war dog. Well, I told him right.
He's a keeper to and right now he is. Or I guess, what you could say, but we could say distraction more or less, Bishop to B7. Well, I guess distraction would be the appropriate descriptor. They're both pragmatic men, Governor.
We can hear the screams and the gunfire. This is not auto. This is chaos. And you and I both know that.
This is chaos. This is cleansing. The screams and the chaos and everything about that is people trying to hold on to an old way that is not going to serve them any longer. He's that so.
You will find that people are tenacious bunch, especially when they're back against the wall. That would be Rook2E1. Rook2D8. Well, well, well, well, well.
We were talking about how the city needs cleanse. I agree. But I don't believe a complete burning away of what's there is quite necessary. I know you do.
But you'd be surprised what people can do when given the necessary things in order to live. Surprise. I know what people need to do to live and they are desperate and they will trample anybody else in their way to make sure that they survive. That doesn't seem at far too many times to know any different.
Deep down, humanity is all the same even though we try to fight it. But you can't fight. Ah, yes. The nature versus nurture debate.
That deep down inside, any and everyone is an animal first and foremost and will do any and anything to survive. Pawn captures Pawn at D6. And he looks and goes, I see the game is getting aggressive. C6 Pawn takes D6 Pawn.
Well, you do have to crack a few legs to make an armament, am I right? But you see, Governor, that regardless of this change, it will come. But not a purge, not a sweeping flame. But by the sheer tenacity of a people that want nothing but the best for their own and their neighbors.
Night takes Pawn at D6. And you got those. Queen takes an ad. But you see, Governor, it will not be a flood.
It will not be a cleansing flame nor a purge. It will be the sheer tenacity and will of a people that want what's best for their city as I do. Check, Governor. The Governor smiles and goes, oh, this is a lot of fun.
Work to E8. It's a matter, Governor. You're starting to sweat a little bit. My plans are not entirely revealed, not just yet.
And the day is not over. Is that so? Well, Bishop to C5. We'll come back in a second.
In the meantime, let's check in with actor. Hi. Hi. So, Abner, you notice that your mother goes back and talks to the group before, but as you look at it, you realize that it is a group of two.
It was four, but now it's two. Belvedere. And Belvedere comes and goes, yes, sir. They're, forgive me if I'm wrong, they were.
They were four there before. There's two there now, correct? Yes, sir. Have we located the other two?
And he goes, no, one of them, I believe, is actually just using the restroom currently, and the other one I have, we've lost track of. Interesting. And the council members. Council members are all counted for, sir.
Also interesting. Keep an eye on, I need you to keep an eye on, oh my God, I forgot your name, I forgot your last name. Westchester? I mean, it is three.
And so, just as you say that, he goes, any points as you notice, one of its people walking across the room and immediately, like in one fluid motion is pulling out a dagger to go and stab Julianna Westchester. At least slightly worried. How far away am I from this? You are enough to try and do something.
You did put that thing in her position. I did, that's why I'm only slightly worried. I could probably make it over there. I think, I, okay, I'm actually going to call me walk over there while this is happening.
I'm not too worried. Because I know I have the thing in her pocket. And so she turns, and we see all this in slow motion, she turns, was like, oh my God. And then as he brings it down, you see this fear kind of and force him back onto the floor, knife skittering towards you, and it slides underneath your boot where you stop it.
So yeah, I'll stop it with my foot. Belvedere, could you grab that gentleman for me, please? And he goes, yes, sir. And goes, grabs and lifts him up and everything and kind of like, ties him up.
My, oh my, and who exactly do you work for? And he goes, you think you call me? Oh, I know I did darling, you might as well tell me. As you do so, you notice that he kind of like unwactor the tooth and bites into it.
I was, but he's dead at the moment. Yeah, he's starting to froth from the mouth and everything. And I would assume with all other rich people here, there is someone here that can help this gentleman from dying. And so people are kind of freaking out and they're trying to do it.
And one person runs up and he goes, ah, yes, I'm a doctor. My name is Dr. Good. Dr.
Feel Good. Very peculiar name. And so he goes, he looks up and goes, he's got a mouth out. Do you know what kind of poison you need to adjust it?
Oh, I know it was something with the tooth. And he goes, you leave, he leans down towards the mouth and tries to sniff it and goes, I can smell anything. I don't know what type of poison he has. If I don't know what type of poison he has, I can't cure him.
I don't get better. It's tasteless out of this one. It was likely some kind of power. My knowledge on poison is very limited, but I've studied a bit.
And if you can't smell anything, it would be some kind of help me here, sir. Voices I have no smell. You must know more. You're a doctor.
I'm trying to make a point. Oh, yeah, I know I'm like drawing a huge blank as a 3am. And he goes, oh, yeah, we might be able to save him. And he administers a potion and everything.
And he goes, you'll need to be watched over maybe in a coma for a while. Not to worry. I will have some of my people take care of that. I'm gonna wave over a couple of the stage ends.
What's mom? So you look around and everything and you notice that your mother and the three other people are not there. She ran in. She ran in.
Oh, I'll tell her what I've noticed because he was doing this. Where's Councilman Raines? Councilman Raines. So you look around, you look around and see everything.
And you notice that Councilman Raines is not there either. No, don't cross me. I'm gonna go where my mother, I last saw her go to the nearest exit to that. So the nearest exit to you guys is backstage.
So you go back there. And as you go back there, you hear nothing. You walk around the corner and you see what looks like a body slumped into a chair. I'm gonna walk up.
Yeah, I'll just walk around the chair to see who it is. As you walk around the chair, you realize that it is your mother. I'm only upset because I didn't kill myself. And the person unconscious next to her is Councilman Raines.
I'm gonna check on Councilman Raines to see how he's doing. He's unconscious. If you want, you can try and do a survey of the area and try and piece together what happened here. Uh-huh.
I'm not good at that. Time and place for area exit. I think I'll push myself. All right, take a bonus dice.
That's two. Is it one or two? Stress. Two stress.
Thank you. It's a two, three, and six. So you notice that actually when I came down to it that the three others had taken Councilman Raines out during this time. Juliana was not the target Councilman Raines was.
And they had tried to execute him, but somebody tried to save him. No, she didn't. You're not telling me my mother tried to save him. At the last second, somebody seemed to push her away because he found what would have been a poisonous dart in the neck right here.
My mother was so good. Um, the look on your face. So bad. It was so better.
I really wanted it. I had like several ways that I was playing with here also. Um, there's no sign. I mean, there's obviously no sign up for struggle because it was like a dart.
What that went in? Is there anything special about the dart? Is it just like a dart? You take the dart out and you notice that this is something very not not isn't special to the honest family.
If you look around, you see that the people that she was with ran off the opposite way and the way that the dart entered does not match. So somebody else shot it from somewhere else. You check a pocket. Yeah.
Let's see. Yeah, let's see what she has on her. Don't have a letter. So you find a letter.
Of course. You find a letter in there and the letter episode says this. Audriana, you have served the church willfully. However, sacrifices must be made.
M where's Bell? Bell's with you, right? Oh, no. I think I think after starting to put two and two together, I could be wrong.
I could be very wrong. It's three. I'm a real tight. So let's go back to, let's go back to Lee in the meantime.
So I'm just cursed with knowledge currently. It's a big name. You're currently fighting with Sergeant Major Blackwell and the stab lands. However, the guy is building a tank.
It's going to take more than one second. Oh, yes. But I do stab him and I do pull the knife out so that he is actively bleeding from that. Yes.
So he goes, very good. And he kind of, what he does is takes parts of the heavier parts off so he can move even faster now. Do me a favor. Roll me another skirmish.
Double one. Shit. That is a critical thing. So do me a favor.
So he is going to, this is going to hurt. So as he's kind of going through, so I can go and I'm kind of paring him with a knife and everything. One of the times he does is he actually is able to kind of like redirect your blade and out of your hand and as he does so he gets a good area to actually like stab right in, but you put your hand up instead. Do me a favor.
You're going to roll me a prowess resistant roll. I think I'm going to help with this before say. Click on prowess. And what's going to happen is it's going to roll D six.
Oh, Jesus. Sorry. It didn't like that. Oh, okay.
That's really good. So what's going to happen is normally in a situation such as this, you're going to get stress. You would have gotten six stress, but since you rolled six, you get no stress does affect the two sixes were rolled me in anything in a particular instance. It does because that is another critical success.
That's your third one tonight. And so what happens in this particular scenario is you're going to take a level one trauma stabs the hand. No, go on penalties from harm or one less severe. I don't get any of this level one.
Do I? But what does that say here? That's a lesson status effect. So meaning like let's say if she was going to try and knock somebody out.
But what's the name of it? Is it a skill? Yeah, what's it's called tough as nails? Hold on.
I'm thinking, you might actually know. Okay. So my thought process here is because you rolled six, it was originally going to be a level three because you're going to get stabbed in the lawn. Because if you would have not rolled a six, it would have been a level three.
Since you rolled a level six, I was going to put it at a level here, but we're going to do it. Basically, I'm thinking if since you rolled a six, we're going to put it at a level two and since you're tough as nails, we're going to put a level one. Okay. And you can just put a stab through the hand because you literally stopped the blade with the hand.
You're holding it. I'm so glad it wasn't the only thing. And so he goes, that's it. Yeah.
Doesn't have to make you feel alive. She's going to look up and she's going to just look up at him and go, oh my God, you are so crazy. The other guy left the thing. You're not.
Best NPC ever. At this point, she's going to start playing with him mentally. Like, you were crazy. You were insane.
I can't believe you did all of this. And wow, you're so fucking slow, even after all these years. And then she's going to just keep dodging and dodging and dodging. All right.
So what do you think would the Dodgers be under? Prowel. Okay. Let's roll that and see what we get.
Three, four. So what's the fours you're able to dodge it barely? But he goes, fight me like a soldier. Okay.
Yeah. I'm going to tell Hawk to come and swoop in. And I'm going to shove more documents into this helmet. That's going to be fast.
Dripping out. Double threes. So you as you do so, it's kind of the thing is you knock his helmet off. Nice.
So you can't, you don't succeed in that thing, but you succeed in another way. It's ugly mug. Who does? Yeah, he does.
You succeed in another way. You knock it off and he catches you across the face with the right hook. So you're both kind of like fall backwards and are slowly trying to stand up to fight each other for more. Nope.
I'm not standing up. I'm going to stay on the ground. I'm going to move into a better position to stand up, but not actually stand up. And then I'm going to take one of the knives and try to throw it at his head, aiming specifically for like his mouth or neck, whatever is the most open at that time.
All right. That's a hunk roll. Whoa. Dead die.
I fell off the table. Two six six. Dead shot. Subscribe how you killed this guy.
All right. Same for this. So as I'm on the ground and I get into a better position, a hawk comes around. My hawk, Jack, comes around and is able to show me exactly where his weak points are on his neck.
And I sit there and I take my time to aim and then throw with the ferocity and all the rage that I've pent up for these past few years and catch him right in the jugular. All right. And yeah. And so it does.
And he just goes and he's trying to say words when all yours. And he falls over dead. She's going to stand up, walk over, take that blade out of the neck and then slice the other vein and the other big vein in his neck just to make sure that he is, in fact, bleeding out and dying. And for good measure, she's going to light him on fire.
Using the documents. Thank you. I was like, I need a tea bag moment. There it is.
Fantastic. In the meantime, let's check in with Abner. Around the time you're feeling that the tinctures are wearing off. We have no.
Abner. Sorry. It's three. It's three thirty in the morning.
That's fair. All right. So I combined around the time you're feeling that the tinctures are wearing off. Sorry, Governor.
And so he goes. Oh, you know, before grace, we probably finished this game before you all. Time is up. I suppose you're right.
Bishop takes pawn at C five. Goes Queen F six. Well, Governor, what do you intend to do once you hit that button? Bishop to be one.
Queen to see three. And he goes, I'm going to stay in my other newly cleansed world that I have created. Check, by the way. And you would have every right to do so.
If it weren't for one thing, Governor. Queen to see to check, mate. You see he looks at the table, but everything goes, well, I'll be damned. Looks like you still got a little fat in your left.
That's me. Stepping is all hell. I think they both stand up. Are we near a railing where we can see the shimmer?
So he stands over there. And you noticed that he is actually going to light up as a guard in this time. What are you going to do now, Governor? Well, the funny thing about it is playing only goes so well as when it blows up in your face.
And you see for me, I always had multitude of plans. I'm sure you do too. And that's when he opens this code and you notice that he has a bomb strapped to his chest and he grabs you. And he goes, I can still make this thing up.
And he immediately starts reaching up to kind of like push you both over the side of the railing. So I think what Archibon is going to do in response, he's got, well, first he's going to try. Because like, how far do we need to get out of the way? Well, let's back up.
Do I notice? Does he have like a timer on it or anything? Survey. Survey.
I have one, two and take the lower. Three. So you don't notice that there's any timer on it? It looks like it's basically, remember that remote trigger that he had and that will stolen?
That's what he's using. Spectacular. And he has it in his other hand. Spectacular.
Okay. So I think, trying to see what else I got. Let's check in with everybody else in the meantime. So after everything is solved, you guys look towards the dam and I realized it hasn't burst yet.
Do you guys head there? I am still in the middle of any way territory. Yeah, so it might take you a while. But do you head there?
God, that's hard choice. Because that's right now. After is under the assumption that Mel is working with the governor. And I know Mel is probably with you.
There's a really tough choice. This is like that one bit massive act when you have to choose between like two NPC first people. Which is great decision to make at 3.30. Well, I know for sure that we can handle it.
I think his old dude, Belvedere. Take some of the stage hands and go find where he is. Wherever she is, whatever she's doing, please go make sure that everything is fine. So do Mel.
After I head towards the dam. So during this time, you are running through the area and you guys are locked in your grapple. So it'll take he has two actions before they go over the side. So three actions before we go over the side, two actions before you get there.
So I think what Archibon is going to do is Artemis is still here. And he's got me in the hug. So I think he's like buying him with like the remote. But I think Archibon's hands are visible.
So he's telling Artemis go for the hand. Okay. Get the remote. All right.
Let's go to Mel. That's a command because I am telling and I am going to push myself. I can't ready to run out. That would be three one and one.
So I remember I said you had two actions. So we see Artemis kind of do that. And so we see the governor kind of just slip back kind of move out of the way. I think fucking bird.
You have one more action before two more actions before you both go over the side. One more action before I have no gets there. So I think Archibon's going to try to hug him hard to see cracks this lumber essence. I'm gonna get that to go off.
What do we think that could be? Let's see. I don't know. I'm gonna say finesse.
Yeah. Gonna do what I'm gonna do. Got one just to take a close in there. Just one five.
So you're able to crack it and everything. And as you do so, it kind of cracks you kind of head butt him back in the back of the head and everything with your last bit of strength. And he actually because he's really close, it sends him kind of toppling over. And you're going to kind of going with him.
However, you're able to kind of just hold on to the side of the ledge as he topples over the side. However, you notice that the remote went flying out of his hand before he went over the side. So I think is his. Andrew, you come in and you notice that there is nobody in this room.
He's not even? Well, I mean, he just wanted to side technically. So he's hanging outside of the ledge. Am I, do I hear anything?
I mean, you could probably hear him his wagon like he's wheezing as well. Oh, right now. Brad Lof. Yeah.
I'm gonna run to the to where he is and try to pull him up. And so he isn't really helping everything that you pull him up and everything. And Archibon, you're able to get back, but you really can't stand at this point. Brad Lof, are you all right?
It's a matter of opinion. The governor's not and that's what counts. Absolutely. Well done.
Now let's get you back so you can get some rest. I'm about to have a whole lot of rest I feel. Yes, we can all rest up after all of this is over. I believe I will have to carry you in some once, but that should be fine.
Let's go. Just just so you have now look and I think whether it be the spirits have taken away or the promise gone off, there's an orange glow off in the distance. Look, Abner, is that a sunrise in the Onyx? Well, it just might be.
Isn't that lovely? I think at that point, Archibon dies. He turned back and there's no response to Archibon. Breadlove.
Breadlove, stand up now. I'll have none more if they stand up. Lock stand up now. I'm just gonna shake and try to get him up.
No matter what, you will not wake up. And we just end with Abner just shaking and trying to wake him up. In the meantime, let's check in one less time with Lee. So Lee, after you kill Sergeant Major Blackwell and everything, you go over you for everybody else.
You get back downstairs and everybody else is kind of like giving up at this point. And you see Mal as everybody else. And that's when Belvedere runs in. She's gonna nod and go, yes, yes, I'm Captain Tindall.
And she's gonna be like trying to wrap her bandaged hand. And she goes, Abner says, he said, oh God. And he kind of sits down. He goes, he said, remember, strain?
Mal. And Mal goes, what? And immediately the stage hands just go into like, try to like, restrain. What the hell is going on here?
And Belvedere just goes, he says, he's behind it all. Abner said, he's behind it all. And Mal goes, behind, what? I've been your guys, intel person.
Why would I do this? So that is where we're going to end for that scene. We're going to come back to that in a second. But we're going to take a quick break and move on to the part three, which is the downtime and the wrap up.
Yay. All right. Welcome back. Yay.
How's everybody doing before we start part three? I have feelings about box diet. Okay. Let's get into the downtime portion of it.
So yeah, so immediately, you guys immediately kind of just retreat back. Everything's kind of quiet. Abner, congratulations. You have one city council by a landslide.
I'm no good at that. And yeah, but however, you get note from Lee to meet him back at the docks. And when you meet back at the docks, you notice that Mal is there and tied up and Lee is there to and Mal is looking furious. Like, what the fuck?
I did all this help. And this is how I'm treated. I'm going to walk in with the letter that I pulled off my mom's body. I'm going to slam it down.
Then explain this. So he's reading. And so he looks at it. And he looks at you and goes, you're really telling me you think that anybody named letter M just means me to be fair.
You're the only person I know. At this point, Lee is going to interrupt and say, this is ridiculous. Untie him right now. And the stage hands, we get no time and everything.
And he looks at me and goes, this isn't even my handwriting. How should I know I've ever seen your head right before? Yes, you have. I wouldn't remember.
And so he goes, look, I'll look into this. Where's Archibon? Brad Lopez. He's not coming back.
What do you mean? He's gone. He's tells? Spectacular.
You saw that moment. Just captured it. Oh my god. Okay.
So that's good. That's real good. You hear Mal go. I guess I explained that.
He reaches into a pocket, grabs a letter, puts it on the table between the both of you and goes, he said to give you that when the time goes, that he turns and walks out. At this point, Lee is going to glare at Abner and pick up the letter and read it. Read it out loud. What?
Read the letter. Two Abner and Lee. I hope that one day you have to read this letter. I hope that the day that you have to read this letter is accompanied with the rise of the sun.
And at this point, Lee is going to take a pause. Even though I may not be there to celebrate the triumph of the recluse and the victory of the citizens of Onyx Vale, I would have you know this. I made sure that the bastard of Abner not only suffered in this life, but will not have a moment's peace on the other side of the veil either. In my final moments, I was at ease knowing that this city, my city, was going to be left in the hands of two of the most capable people that I have ever had the honor of sharing a common goal with.
The Onyx Vale will be a much better place having you both in it. May the sun continue to shine for the both of you. Your dear, fallen comrade, Brad Loaf. She's going to get choked up and then say, I'll deal with this later, and then go to fallow now.
All right. Before you go, as you go to open the door and leave, you find what looks like a middle-aged two almost elderly woman there. Abner you recognize the right away. This is Juliana Westchester.
She goes, oh, you must be Lee. I've shown you about my son. My name is Juliana Westchester. And we have a lot to discuss.
And that is where we're going to end that particular section. And now we're going to begin what is called the Epilogue in the months, maybe even years after the story ends. We're going to have, give you guys one last moment with your characters to kind of tie into nice little bow. Who would like to go first?
I can. I think in after everything's passed and everything, Abner starts stepping up a little bit more as a councilman and kind of starts enjoying what he's doing and how he's actually helping people. In some ways, it's kind of like he's finally reclaiming that honor that his family had, just in a completely different way, and completely different than what he thought he was going to be able to do. And I think through all the work he's doing and the money he's getting, he's going to do one thing that he's always wanted to do.
He's going to open a theater and have a couple people work there, and he's going to name it the Panus Torum. Tor- Tor- Torum, that's what it's called. And that's Latin for Redloaf. Fantastic.
Lee, what does Lee do? Lee sees how the city all came together in that night, and she decides to try to heal the ties between the gangs and begins to foster not only peace treaties, but also agreements for certain neighborhoods to work together to become self-sufficient and like kind of in a sideways way helping Abner's goals of helping the city. All right, fantastic. And last but not least, Locke's in the moment of your death.
What is the last thing Locke's experiences? So for the moment, he goes dark, but when he wakes up, everything is quiet. It's muted. He's standing outside of himself, watching Abner shake him, but he looks to his left and he sees Artemis, and he's, you know, cut up.
He's going to miss his little friend, but he notices that Artemis tracks where he's going. And the more he stares, this blue glow emits from Artemis. Over time, that blue glow gets stronger and stronger, and then everything is bathed in white. And that's when Artemis reveals that he has always been a guardian.
And from previous episodes, the guardians are the ones that help usher people to the other side. And Artemis, of course, after revealing, flies up to him, he simply looks at him and says, you know, my little friend? Somehow I knew you were a guardian. Let's have a fun afterlife, shall we?
