Panatheon 41: Realm of Wine and Merriment

0:03 Have you had cute aggression? Wait, what about? What about? What about this? Wait, what about this one are? We going to get in trouble for having that on the show? Yeah. Absolutely. This is you. Know what we're not going to get in trouble for having on the show? The cheese tax.

0:24 Wait, it's just that this guy wrote this about his cat? OK. There's a bit where he's like. You're so cute. It's a very well produced song about someone's cat. But you know what isn't? Hello and welcome to Is that a six or a nine? An avid DNT podcast made by idiots. My name. Cheese tacks and cuts. It's Matt Caught. I don't believe in the cheese tags, but what I do believe in is Carl Nicholson. He's not ready. Playing as Belsaphilis, who's always ready and collecting heads. Nicholson. Playing is IK Grassley.

1:13 Yeah, I haven't come up with the name. Try her real 1. Alex Sanchez. Yes. Go with Sanchez every time I. Like Sanchez, I think it sounds cool. Playing the dirt. What the dirt. The dirt man. There's a little dirt on my pillow for the dirt man. So anyway, here's Wonderwall. OK. 'Cause maybe. On the piano the other day. Going to be the word, that's anyway. My God, who am I? Is it more or? Less impressive to produce a piano at a house party, you'd say. And here's Wonderwall. If I, if I. Go back like a sword.

2:06 If I die in my surgery, I give whoever does my eulogy permission to finish it and then go anyway. His Wonderwall. Oh, you are absolutely going through the little curtain into the incinerator. It's a Wonderwall. I want to be buried. And I will be singing. It yeah, well, because. Baby. We'll all be there. We'll record it for the show you're. Gonna be the one that saves me and after all. Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not joining in. No, he wants you to stop it. OK, what? I'm powerless. I know.

2:45 It's ridiculous. I'm the one in charge that they won't listen. Oh, you want to hear? You want to hear the recap? Yeah. OK, let's do the recap. Good boy.

3:00 Who's really excited about the recap? What you want from me? You're so excited to find out what's going on with GOAT Game. Yeah. Well, you hyped him up, so now you got to give him a fuss. I'm sorry you got. To pay the cheese tax. Cheese. Tax. Anyway, so last time in Panatheon, you guys were wading through the swamps around the Temple of Cherise on your mission to find the Temple of Cherise where you encountered your greatest ever. Phone a puddle which nearly claimed Persephalus, Chivari and Felicia.

3:35 Yeah, it's. Funny that me and Nick May. Yell because we are the. Better. Players. You managed to survive the big scary puddle, but you couldn't go over and you couldn't go under to some of you had to go through splish. Splash, splash, splash the bell. Nearly went under. We can't go over it. We can't go under it.

4:00 We'll have to throw our planes out because Michael Rosen. What? What? Calm, still and the oh, Michael Rosen. Nice. We can't go over it. We can't go under it. Do you not know that? No, I was he's. He's like a really annoying poet. But he also wrote this poem that if you pushed a button at Grimes, it would say this really long poem about Grimes, but people would push it and it was so shit. They just wander off. And we'd have to listen to it about 100 times a day. Yeah. And then? You're like Fred Dibner, motherfucker when I but Norfolk.

4:37 No. No, but there's definitely a video I remember. Oh, no, no, no. There's some deer walking around a field. It was like, this is a fucking girl because he's got that terrible speaker as well. So it's like, yeah, no, it's not. Him, it's not, it's not him, it's the, it's one of the other buttons. But there was, it's about a 5 minute thing and there was a day when I first started that the button broke. So it played it on repeat and I actually rang my boss crying like I was telling the projector off and it's still doing it like fucking help me every 5 minutes.

5:12 It was calm, still, and the cunning needed. And then you found the temple entrance dish. Yeah. And I found the temple plain, which was guarded by a guardian that Fellatio was initially worried about. You discovered a hydra hiding in the swamp, which you killed frustratingly easily, and then you found what Felicia thought should have been the Guardian, which was the skeleton of a man who had, you'll be glad to hear, a bag of holding and some potions, and they'll shoot a load of gold. The important thing is you now have a bag of holding so you can stop asking, OK?

5:52 I asked you once what are.

5:58 You doing so distracting you? Made a comment which was a song lyric which then set both of us off at the exact same time. You descended into the flight of stairs in the bottom of the temple ruin and you exited the tunnel into the Demi plain of Shares, an idyllic forest clearing with a huge temple and a big old SATA festival going down in front of it. And that's where we are now. You're in this idyllic clearing. So where you were in this like murky swamp that was all overgrown, you now there's like all these trees and they've all got like green and gold and pink leaves and there's as far as the eye can see, There's like massive vineyards with like all these vines with grapes and stuff growing.

6:52 But then there's like interspersed little fields with other like fruits and things growing. It is. Can I see more people with like gold limbs? Make a reception check 20 unnatural yes, you can see like as you are you guys walking into the like festival bit? Yeah, cool. Yeah. So the main bit in front of the temple was like all of these like tents and like stalls and like the sort of like colourful like canvas carnival, like I said, basically. And it is like there's like people drinking and dancing and partying and then there's like sort of carnival games around.

7:33 There's a couple of hookah bars. But yes, yeah, Free zone that was. Hookah is the way you said. It hookah the thing like hookah, Yeah. Yes. In Croatia. Yeah, no, that's the that is the you just said it was like a Northern accent hookah. Hookah as you go in, mostly the people you see are satyrs. They're the the primary group here and there are like there's humans, there's elves, there's orbs, there's goliaths, there's gnomes, halflings, everything you do see, they stand out because they're quite tall.

8:05 These guys, they're full like 7-8 foot. So it's just one like set of it's these specific people with the. Gold, yeah, some of these like huge satyrs that have these like gold legs and again, but they don't seem to match. Some of them have like a left leg or a right leg. Some of them have like an arm or a hand. Should we be feeling bad about the ones we killed?

8:30 No check. An inside check you. Want to decide when you feel bad about killing the head satyrs that we tried to kidnap people from the village. Herald a 19 plus. Three Twitter. Yeah, you feel pretty fine about killing the satyrs that were trying to kidnap people. All the heads that you've got are in a bag, right? They're in the bag of hole, don't you? OK. Fantastic. I also want to ask Felicia, do you when you these like bigger satyrs, when you looked at them did you recognise them but they would were just bigger or you just don't recognise?

9:23 Them I don't recognise them at all. OK. Is there some sort of ritual that grants them the golden limb? Seems likely, but not denying nothing that I've ever dealt with before. Well, we have, I mean, the temple's going to be quieter while this is going on, so we could. What is our plan here? Well, I don't know.

9:54 I don't know why that was glorious. As you approach the like festival, you start making some of these like satyrs come over and they start throwing like garlands over your shoulders or over your heads and stuff. And how do you like glasses of wine or tankards or whatever? And like, no one's like really asked you who you are, but they've seen that you're like not holding a drink or like necessarily. Question, does this temple have like interior walls? Yeah. Can I use my spider climb to just go off and see if I can eavesdrop on conversations?

10:29 Massive different foot giant just climbing up the walls. Oh yeah, so inconspicuous. Wait wait, no, because I also have disguised self. As what? Say to her. The. Drapings. I guess the drapings like just cover yourself in purple. Well, I mean, there are like, so the way these buildings are built is you have like the big columns like around the edge, but there is a wall inside and that's like the actual interior building. But right, like between all of these columns, there's loads of like these, like pink and purple, like linen drapes.

11:12 Before we like all like fuck off and do stuff, do we want to get to the temple? Like are we going and binding giraffes? Are we like or or whatever the fuck is in this temple right? Or are we fucking around in the? I reckon the I reckon we need to try and figure out what's going on down here but. Down here as in the the party or. In general, like this, this party is normal. This is, this is how we, we celebrate, we revel, right? We revel in Sharess's name. This is this is our worship. So this we.

11:49 Need to know what's going on I guess. Yes, within the temple. Within the temple, because this isn't this isn't uncommon. So what we isn't uncommon is whatever the fuck is going on. In there. It's strange how DNS yes is everywhere. Does Sharess not have any iconography of our own? Sharess is. It's not. Good yet? Right. Yeah. So the the idea of like shares is that she is like a minion of Dionysus essentially. So it's she's like an assistant manager. Diagnosis is the guy that's in charge, but he doesn't necessarily do any of the work.

12:26 How does he? Shares the nymph and other like children and other nymphs and stuff do the work for him. All she's what she's doing at the moment is trying to essentially claim the glory back. I don't. Know much about the gods but I'm I know that they are prideful and it's best to not piss them off, so I don't entirely know how they how he would feel about that. I'm assuming he doesn't know that she wants to be a God. I mean. Are you in Can? Can you commune with with. With Dionysius, we can. Try, but this might not be the right place.

13:03 Yeah, I think. We head to the temple. This was. A temple of Dionysus, though it was a temple that Dionysus gave to Sharess in her original followers. That makes sense. And we can enjoy the party later. Yeah, you you start making your way through this like party and it is already coming up with this plan. But as you do you, you see Flash here, it's kind of like, I think it's probably best of all, I'm not necessarily here or discoverable. You know, I had to escape. My husband's probably not going to be super pleased to see me here.

13:42 Yes. Do you? If you. About your escape, just I understand that you want to like disappear, that's fine. Did you do it in like a not so public kind of way? Did you Or did you like shun everyone and then leave in a big traumatic fuck you event? I. Genuinely believe that what we were doing is not the way the Dionysus would want us to to worship and I was worried by what Erraticus was doing to my husband. Did you make? That I was. Pretty clear about it. I challenged him, I challenged him in front of everybody and I was essentially shouted down.

14:17 I felt threatened and I felt concerned about what was happening, which is why I left. OK. So yeah, you definitely should lay low. Yeah, which is? OK, I can disguise myself, keep in touch. And she, like, rumbles around. She pulls out Sidney Stone. Call me if you need anything I've got. 2 now OK, and then you get on the. Primus, don't you? Yeah.

14:39 I've got everyone on the line on the line, don't worry. Guys. Oh, not. My network dial. Yeah, so. She kind of like ducks into the crowd now. Do you guys want to like just away together as a group aim to the temple or do you want to just like break apart and sort of meet there and we're. Not spider climbing. Not. Yet you're still like, you're like in the middle of like all of these tents and stuff. Everyone's dancing and cheering. As you do that, you see two of these like, impusers that go legged.

15:09 People come like through the crowd and like, people start like cheering and throwing flowers at their feet. And between them is SATA. He's wearing like a white toga and he's got like gold leaf like in his hair and he's got like gold tipped horns and like he's covered in like garlands and stuff as well. And he's getting water flowers from him. And he approaches and he's holding a goblet of wine. Here he comes up. Welcome visitors. My name is Hereticus. I am the leader of the cult here. Welcome. So you.

15:45 Willingly call it a cult. You know he's. From Wiltshire. Exactly. We believe in growing shit. All right. Phil Hardy? Yeah. We're, yes, we're a cult of sharess. We grow what? We grow grapes. We turn the grapes into wine. And we fucking party. And they're right. And everyone cheers. Yeah. Welcome there's. Something in the with friends. Followers, you're just just in time. It's the. Second time you've drunk shit and gone fucking weird. It's basically. A cult of Alcoholics. I the best kind. I now you're like Irish A. Huge.

So you are just in time though. Yeah, the festival that was the main event is tomorrow night. You have. Gone Irish now I know it's. Weird, isn't it? And Madam, I think the problem.

Mary Kate and Ashley vibes, yeah. She so so Shore and Fellatia have this like, chestnut brown fur and like pink eyes, whereas these two are a lot more like Hereticus, where they've got slightly tornier hair and like, emerald green eyes.

26:40 OK. And they come up with like, what the fuck are you like, we're trying to do a thing over here. What's what's going on? She's like, it's it fucking wrestling. And they're. Like all friends, I'm just teenage groupie girls just.

I had your paper. Thanks I'll. RIP it out of my I don't even know if I have a book. I think we. Should just have now have tools and we're not just carrying like pre signed sketches of me.

27:33 Yeah, true. Yeah, probably and each of. Them are pre signed sketch. Oh my God. It's always good for driving. They do have like belts on with like pouches and stuff, so they like stash the stuff away. It was like, Oh my God, are you here for the? Ceremony. Oh, which ceremony? What's happening? Dad's going to, he's doing a ceremony in the temple tomorrow night and he's going to like, he's going to imbue shore with all his power. And she's going to have the power of Charest and she's going to be able to like wield Charest, his power and like bring Charest to the whole world.

28:02 So we don't have to stay in our little in our little plane here. We can take her, take her out to everyone. Can I go Is that good wherever? You attend, we can stop it. I can be a distraction.

28:19 Can we attend? We weren't. Planning on it, but how about this? How about he's going to be. There. How about? This How would you like Bean to perform on stage with me? I hear you're somewhat of a musician. She looks like. Like proper size. Well, I'm going to be on the stage anyway. Like I was going to be on the stage, but yes, absolutely yes. Oh my God, that would be a fucking dream. Wait, wait. Wait, wait, do you play or do you sing? I can do both and she like she pulls out like a set of pan pipes like usually a pan pan pipes.

28:48 Is fine and she's. Like, oh, no. And she's like, wait here a second and she like runs it's. Like she Can't Sing and she's got pan pipes in her mouth. She can't. She. Can't, you know, make me look bad? 2 model just real quick. Can you just block your ears for a SEC? OK. Did you? Did you happen to catch what they said? How? Everyone is going to be there. Take a quick look around. Can we fight all of these? If we interfere, they might not. Need to fight, but we need more information. But not everything has to be a fucking fight if we.

29:16 Stop them from resurrecting their God. There is going to be a fucking God resurrecting. Their God, they're giving the power to Shura, so the only thing we really have to do is just do something with Shura. Yeah, but they're going to. It's going to be sure. Sure clearly loves me. I can get her to walk away with. Well, if we can do something, stay in. The temple tonight. Maybe we can figure something out tonight. Yeah, but. Let's play along for now, because the more we play along, the more the information they're going to give us.

29:44 What do you think we should be doing?

29:49 Belle just wants to cut everyone's heads off. Burn the whole place down. Obviously these people are not unhinged and not safe in society. Yeah, but. The same issue arises. It's cute, but we want to hear everything we're saying. That was the first thing I heard, to be honest. I. Think that I think we should just play along for now. Do you? Should we go and have a look in the temple? Why don't? I ask her go. Why listen, listen. Why don't I ask Bean to take us to show the stage so that we can get an idea of what we're going to do and then we all have an excuse to go to the temple and have a nose around.

30:25 Why no but? You. You you take. Care of the temple I'm going to distract Flick and see what their armed forces are like I'll. Come with you. OK, you come. With me, because you could be like, going around doing like security cheques, yeah, and really just sussing out everything while I'm talking to 100% fangirls. Stupid, you stupid fine girls. Hello. Hello. Weirdly effective, so can you. Can you take us to the temple so I can get an idea at the other stage and everything and we could have a little?

30:58 Absolutely yes I am. Going to have to. I need my bodyguards come with this. Yeah, fine. Yes. Absolutely. We won't be able to go into the main in the sanctum that's being prepared for tomorrow, but I can show you the temple would be great my. Bodyguard will need will need to do a quick recce of the of the space, so they'll probably wander off. I just want to make sure that's OK. I'm sure my. I'm sure my dad will be fine with it. Let's go. And like she's like, skips through the first thing. Come, you are.

31:24 You are a warrior, yes. Yeah. I have been waiting for a chance to see what the warriors of the Suress are capable of. Would you please grant me the honour of a duel? Well, you've fucking got it. Maybe like so Flick is, although Flick and Bean are identical. Bean is like a little bit slimmer, whereas Flick is like a little bit like stockier and like has actual muscles. And she, you can see she's wearing like some gauntlets and she's got like sort of like bracelet things like around her, the top of the hose.

31:56 She's like, yeah, all right, bring it on. All right, so you're going to go have a little sparring match. Yes. Cool. Yeah. She takes over. So there was this like makeshift boxing arena with people kind of like, just like actual straight up Ben who are fighting. And as you approach, she's like, all right, everybody cleared away. I've got this one and like hops over the fence into the middle of the square. She's she's sort of eyes the axe on on your back and she's like which is going to be unarmed though.

32:24 That's that is quite satisfactory. Fine, We don't mind a little bit of a little bit of bloodshed, but we try not to take heads, you know, I guess role initiative there is you face off 15. OK, she goes first. She goes 17. Yeah, so she makes 33. Yeah, 3 unarmed attacks. Yeah, this is 3. Unarmed attacks, which because she's a SATA, she gets to use her horns. The fuck? Yeah, then she goes in.

32:55 That's pretty good. 1715 and A162 head. Yeah. So she goes in and just like takes a swing at you and then tries to head butt you 4 Fuck, you know that's terrible for five damage off of two hits. That is bad. Forgive me.

33:13 There wasn't my there wasn't my best hits will be honest. Oh, actually, no, I take it back. She does. It's 2D four per hit. There's another and another that's better nine damage to that. There we go. Just comes into like kind of like just like socks you in the gut and then as you double over like cracks you in the head with the horns. What we? Say what you say, we're using weapons. The fuck? I'm only using what the gods gave me. I'm going to really enjoy 20. OK, that. Would hit so yeah you just do 5 damage the first one.

33:47 And I'll follow up with a second 1313. Does not hit she. Blocks my cross, yeah. Cheeky bitch. So you do like a couple of blows each. She's like all right, there's pretty good punch and she kind of like wipes a little bit of blood away from them. Now she's like working. I can take you down though still. Fucking soon starts, yeah. She runs it kind of like tries to speed and tries to like grapple you. So opposed grapple check Pretty decent 17. 17. So she goes in like kind of Spears you and you kind of like just like wrap your arms around there to also like kind of bring it to like a standstill.

34:27 OK, roll again. You fucking? Bitch 19, yeah. Yeah, it's just kind of shoves you back a little bit. It's like, well, you're pretty strong lad I. Am the champion of the Elysium killing a rena you know I'm a. Champion of for US 18. 19 fucker she gets. You down to one knee chip, chip, chip. Chip not 20, OK, Yeah. She kind of like puts you down on one knee, but then you just use the fact that you're in a kneeling position to plant yourself and you just shove it back up again.

34:59 Fucking one more. You can get down pin. This 6. Or 90 God. 5678. 7 got to shove it down. One more, one more win. Not 16. Or 9? It's 10. OK, last you win one more. Actually, she's getting tied down. Is that 6 or 923? Yeah. OK, I'll say the disparity. You guys just like as she starts to like push back, you just use her body weight against her and kind of like roll her over and she just like goes flying down to the crown plant to the back. There's a massive cheer. She's killing. Fields champion is better than Sharon.

35:47 Yeah, fuck me you. See her like holding a hand up, like waving it near you, hoping for a handout, I. Gladly reach down and I pull her to her feet. Yeah, she's. Like properly gritting you like you're actually pretty good for a human. It's pretty, pretty impressive so many people can beat me in a straight fight. I'm fucking done. Yeah, we say we go get a drink. Yes, by all means, please and enlighten me as to these these weird creatures, the ones with the bronze limbs. What is this you? See, like as you hop out of the like fighting arena, so like some people had you both like a flag out of wine and as you like go down that line of questioning, you see suddenly she like shells up a bit like she doesn't really like want to describe that.

36:37 And she's like, I heard there's some of the people that does been bringing into the into the cult he's been setting them up to to help keep her safe. No, we're not. We're not all that popular outside of, Outside of. The temple. You don't agree? Well. I don't know, as long as I don't know where he gets them from and I don't know, he says. The outside world is dangerous and they keep us safe, so they keep us safe. More and more of them have been appearing lately and as. As as champion, do you not have any sway over the cult that you are protecting?

37:14 She like, snorts. So we try not to get in the way too much about that shows of doc murder thing. That's kind of important. He's the one in charge of that. Ma tried to try to call him on some things short while back and she changed up this shit to leave. She's a spit. He he don't take kindly to criticism. But you know, she was trying to stop the ceremony and you know, that's what what sure was born for. And you see like, she kind of like rolls her eyes and like takes a massive drag of like wine you.

37:48 You, you don't, you don't favour sure you don't think that she's asked for the challenge. She's a fucking. Head head, like all right, she was take she was taking off the mum fine, like she was yeah, she's all right. She's got the like nature power and growing shit, but Oh my, Oh my God damn fucking warrior. Right. That's saying we need to send people out to defend Cherise, to defend the cult, Yeah. Which one of us can use a bow? Which one of us can use the fucking horns? Yeah.

38:22 I stand in testament to that. But have you ever? Have you ever left the confines of your cult? No, we're born and bred like most. Most of us say this here. The impusers that walk around the the brass like ones that DA has been bringing in dead. There are. They're the outsiders. They come from the outside. I don't know where exactly they come from, but it's what it is. Do you? Have freedom to leave. Why? Why? Would we leave? As Dad says, it's dangerous out there for everyone, the world. May be a dangerous place, but I know of places where the arenas dwarf this place and the crowds are in the 10s of the thousands.

39:05 She nods. You. Would be fantastic in a place such as this. I was brought up in places such as this. The gladiatorial arenas of an ends are to a world of their own. She's like, looks like, pretty like. Her face lights back up again. So that sounds pretty fucking sweet. I'll tell you what, after tomorrow, after the ceremony's done and sure is out there spreading the word of stress, I'm going to go find one of them fucking arenas. She raises a glass. She's like, fucking tell me what I'm in for. Why not?

39:40 Tonight, are you crazy? You are a grown woman, a warrior. You do not need to bend the knee to some old man preaching from a pulpit, nor stand by in the shadow of your airhead younger sister. She's straight in the back. She's like that old man is the leader of this cult. He is the one that shares sent to build this temple to build everything you see around us. Here's the one that is leading the ceremony that is going to bring shares to the moral realm. He he may not look like much, but he is a powerful and you would do well not to question him.

40:16 The last person who did my ma just to flee forever. You do well not to question him. Everything here is for Sharess. My power comes from Sharess. Everyone's power comes from Sharess here, and I won't question it. A. King builds a general leads. I would think about what you said. I like this idea of the arena, but there is work to do here. Sharess is my my God, my lady. She leads me. She leads everyone here tomorrow. She leads us out of here into the world. That is where I make my name. A razor club.

40:53 I'll be happy to stand by you in the arenas. My luck guide you on your travels. I don't. Need luck, I'm the fucking best. Cheers, I beat. You we call over. To the temple the shore and bean are like daily skipping like proper like teenage fangirls like Oh my God here's here's the candy floss store here's some wine stores and here's the hookah thing and here's some more wine and this is where you get any cocaine you want and here's some more wine I'm. Legit just putting things in the bag. Cocaine especially, yeah.

41:29 Just. Wing tables.

41:33 And you get to like the entrance to this temple. And again, it's like this massive, like whitestone, like marble, like basically square plinth with these huge columns that go up. And these columns are decorated with like gold and pink and purple, like grape vines or snakes or whatever going all the way up. These are all signs of dynosis. He's a God of kind of like change, so. And, you know, the state he chose, like the snake as a thing because it sheds its skin. So it's about that sort of metamorphosis.

42:07 And they're like, there's butterflies and stuff, kind of like nature stuff around. And then, yeah, between all of these giant columns that like go miles up, there's all these like huge, like linen drapes that are like between everything. And they all have like depictions of Dionysus or like crepes or like all of these different symbols that you've seen. But yeah, sure. It's like excited we go. Well, it used to be just a temple to Dionysus, but then after the after the War of Hera, Dionysus donated the temple to Cherise.

42:37 Donated. Yes. Yeah, he, he, he was like, he wanted Cherise to be kind of in charge of like the wine and stuff. Like the wine is really important for, for Dionysus. And so we make all the wine, we drink a lot of it. But yeah, we do our worship for stress here, so. It's like a sub cult of diagnosis. Yeah, yeah. OK. Recently, like, it wasn't always quite as quite as raucous as this. It's been getting bigger recently. And then while you're doing that being because being ran off, the brain comes running back and meets you at like the door to the temple and she's holding like a set of bagpipes.

43:12 And they're like, it's like pink. I think it's got like gold like scroll all over. It's like, I've been practising this for fucking ages and I've never thought I'd ever had the chance. But maybe we could like do a duet tomorrow. I think that'd. Be a great idea. Dick doesn't like that idea because he has to be the centre of attention. Oh, don't. Worry. You can lead. It's fine. I'll back up. It's fine. What? Do you mean you can lead? Of course I'll fucking lead. But he tries not to let his face betray that, so he's like, sure.

43:45 Great. Wonderful thing for it to do, sure. Sure. I'm going to just do a loop. Check out the area. Fine, whatever. We can come with you or I can tell you about what's going on the murals. I might come back. I can or we can. I can take you. I can take you inside, maybe Ick, we'll go inside, yeah. Are we not inside yet? No, you're right. You're. Like outside Oh. I want to come in first, OK? Go and then I'm. Going to do a lot. So you go inside and immediately like as you walk in just totally probably.

44:21 Outside the field, just love another thing. There's where. Where you've got the roof, there isn't an actual ceiling and there is like the roof itself doesn't like me in the middle. There's a huge opening above you, laying all of this like glorious, like sunlight. In right in front of you is this statue. Which role of relationship 17? 15. Cool. Yeah, It's on this massive base. It's got like sort of like a waterfall around it. Yeah, like a sort of semicircle. And then on this base in the middle is this huge, like bronze statue of a SATA.

45:00 She looks. Gonna hazard, I guess that it's sure as big. Compared to like, like obviously it's quite a big statue, but her proportions seem more like the infusers that you've seen, like the really tall ones. And she's holding a staff which looks like the thrissus, the like pine cone thing the DMCS uses set into her eyes. She's got like bright pink eyes and you can see that they look like the opposite people have been handing out. But just at a glance, the statue where it is SAT, the base doesn't.

45:29 It doesn't look big enough to be on the base that it's on. And it looks kind of like a different statue was here before, Yeah. Out of more of a curiosity, how? Because you you're praying under the name of one God. But. Praying to almost different God, I appreciate that she's not one. Doesn't that isn't that create some conflict? It's how the pantheon works as far as we know, anyway. It's what DA tells us. We we pray to shares and we give our offerings to shares. But shares is a subsidiary, you know, to Dionysus.

46:09 So I would assume she takes, she takes what she needs, but what everything else gets given to Dionysus. I think it's part of the understanding that's. Why? You're giving her a bunch of power tomorrow. We are DA says that it's people outside the cults, outside of the temple, that your dad says a. Lot doesn't. He he's the leader of the cult there. There are people that would threaten us and he's trying to protect. Us and and you know this is you know not me speaking, but other people I. Think Suress is is worthy of not living under the shadow of Dionysus?

46:48 Interesting. Notoriously, cults are bad things not. Necessarily, yeah, you're. Like willingly saying you're a cult. It's just interesting to me. Well, A. Philosopher once said that cult plus time equals religion. Yeah, some I. Don't think that makes. It better I only think I fucks. Everything up apparently I only. Think our time is is coming? Yes, he does. Yeah, OK. Well, as I said, I'm going to do a loop. You carry on with your cult. Time slash. Religion stuff, okay. Let me show you around the temple.

47:25 Yep, Don't get. Sucked in.

47:29 Yeah, drink the kool-aid. They they bring you around the temple and they show you. I mean, there's not a lot to, although it's huge, there isn't a lot to it. It's basically the statue in the middle where people are like you can see where people are thrown like flowers or coins or whatever. The statue in the pool, there are like coins in the bottom or like flowers floating around on the top where people have been throwing them to them. And she's she's like looking around like really nervous and she's like, ordinarily outsiders don't really get to go like point get to see behind the scenes, you know what I mean?

48:04 But she's like looking around like I reckon I can sneak you in like beans. Like Are you sure that's a good idea? Sure, Dad probably be really angry if he saw reckon there. She's like, no, it's fine. We're not going to we're not going to do anything. I just want to show him. And you see sure, like kind of like sneaking like is it like these kind of like iron great doors either side of where the statue is, like there's a partition behind it. There's like big mural painted on it behind the statue of like this sort of like big like fancy looking vineyard kind of sitting behind the statue and then two massive like metal doors and she goes to like sneak between but behind one it kind of like eases open.

48:42 She looks over her shoulder and then kind of like ushers you to follow her if you're going around the outside of the building. Do I? See them taking no. You already left. Fog, fog. OK, OK, I'm just looking. I'm just looking for weird looking shit. Weird rooms, doors, anything. Just anything that looks particularly. Fishy. Cool. Make an investigation check, OK? Can I do it with wild magic? Yeah. Yeah, because I use my Yeah, I use my spell. That's wedding. OK. So you're going around this building, Yeah.

49:22 And you make your way like as you make your way down this like first like flank of the building, you see all of these like murals and like depictions and freezes of like Dionysus. As you look closer, you can see some of them appear to have been kind of like modified to look more like cheras. So you can see where there's like an image of what looks like should be Dionysus has been kind of remoulded to look more like this SATA cherasse. And then as you make your way around to the back wall, there's the, the like festival, like tents and stuff go all the way around the outside of the building and they go on for like miles.

50:00 And outside of that there's like vineyards and like these fruit patches and stuff. But you can see there's like a weird like clearing. It's like a rocky kind of like mound in the middle of it. And there's nothing around that. Now I guess you have your investigation check. You can see that there's like an entrance in the front of this mound, like facing the back of the temple, OK. I'm gonna head over there. Yeah, yeah, you go over. And there is again. There's a big like iron bar door. Has it been closed?

50:30 It's. Closed and it's locked. So you give it a quick check and it is locked. Put. My eyeball. Yeah, you can't really hear anything down there. You can't make AI guess perception check or investigation could just be storage. Could just use a ghost. Oh my. God, yeah, I get three. I've got I've got three charges. Anyway, yeah. So I bonus action go emporial. Go. Yeah, go through this thing, Emporial. You're inside this cave. I'm going to go. Down cool.

51:05 Is that your sneaking thing? Yeah.

51:09 The Cave that you're inside now quite quickly kind of like steeply descends down. It's not like stepped. It's just like this like a dusty rocky path on the inside of this mount. And it's like complete darkness in there. But you make your way down and eventually you come to like you can see there's like light ahead of you, but like really low down and kind of like float. Like you can just gauge from like the height and the incline that it's kind of like ground level this like light, right?

51:40 Yeah, yeah, I'm going to head towards the light.

51:45 I know. Yeah, I was going to say. Yeah, You make your way down and you come to, it's like a little crack. It's only about like a foot tall, this thing and a couple of foot wide. And there's like, like flooding into this space that you're in. Make a perception check. You can hear like someone like as you stand next to it. You can hear someone talking inside, but you can only hear one voice. Can I get? Down on the floor. And. Like look through, is it like a crack or is it like big enough for me to get through you're?

52:19 Still you couldn't fit for it. OK. Are you still? Not in corboreal can you not just? That's. True. Because that's. How you followed me to fucking yeah. You just walk through walls. Yeah, I can. It's difficult to rain, but I can do it. You know, look through it first. I'm going to. Look through it and see if if if I look through it, is there an opening so I'm not stuck in a wall because then I will I just. Kind of like gauge. It to be like OK so how close can I get? So you look for this crack in the floor or wall essentially, and you see on the other side is this vast subterranean pool.

52:59 Going in I'm.

53:03 Fucking sorry. Sorry, I should have listened, no? It's fine. You go in. Yeah, phase through. Firstly there is a giant drop because you are quite high up. Oh. Right. No, not me. So you. I thought I would. Yeah. It's been good. It's like an. Episode of Scooby-doo where you got hover for a minute, my legs dangling for you fall, so you take. 10 bludgeoning damage as you crack into the floor. OK, so. I've got 8. HP left go what we didn't heal Hereticus spins round you're. Invisible, right? Are you? Invisible as it goes, I think.

53:49 No, we did. We did say when I went to Pancreasidis like it was, yeah, OK. Make a stealth check at disadvantage to see if you could cause this room. It's like a giant cathedral. Right, like. Massive stone pillars cut out of the rock holding up this massive roof. The roof is painted with like, yeah, sorry, the roof. Is painted with. We can do. The roof is painted. With depictions of like, like twisting vines and snakes and all of this stuff. But at the end you can at one end is a massive doorway leading into this space.

54:27 At the other end is like a stage. There is an altar on this stage. And there's like this again, another mural of vineyards and fields and like all of this DNS in slash shares and shit. Yeah, Horace Kiss is on one knee with a hand on the altar, and he hears this, and he spins around. Roll the stealth check at disadvantage. Before I roll it. Yeah. Can I check? No. OK. No. No. No. Yeah. No. Fair. I'm going to die, guys. It's been good. It's. Do you know what, Gigi? Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm also going to bend luck.

55:08 OK, I know. I think it's no, I think it's saving throws. It's not cheques, OK? He's Oh, no. I've got bardic.

55:18 I knew I was going to come in handy. 4/14/14. OK, he's going to make a perception check. That is fucking irritating. That is a 10. Oh God, I live to see another day he. Turns around I. Advantage. He had the drop. OK, Yeah. She. Already. She already rolled A disadvantage. He turns around and like, he's like glaring directly at where you landed. I. Literally stay on the floor, yeah. But you like, well, you hit the floor and then you like, roll behind one of these massive columns that's holding up the roof.

55:54 And he's like, that was fucking weird. He turns back and he's like on one knee. He's like my lady, not. Expecting a cave in. My lady, why? Why is he here? Why did you send him? Right, I get that. But why? I'm concerned. I'm worried that maybe you're sending someone to keep an eye on me. Yes, they have it, boy. OK. Are we done? Yes. Beg you, my lady. And he stands up and he, like, turns and he starts to walk out of the room, glasses over his shoulder. He's really deeply suspicious. And then you see him go behind a pillar and you lose track of him.

56:45 Can I? Hear the door close. You're leaving. Make a. Perception check, because you are currently, I'm going to say, huddled behind a fucking pillar.

56:55 22 You hear the door. Close. I'm going. To poke my head out and. He rolled a Nat 20 on his stuff check so as you stick your head out. He's fucking. Stood there looking at you, I was like, what do we have here? I thought you were a. Ghost. That only lasts for a round of combat, which is 6 seconds. It's. Gone. So you see, you can't. Use it again. Don't you have another charge? He's. Glaring directly at you. So what the fuck do we have here? I was looking for the stage and. That is. You are so fucked.

57:35 Next one literally like. It's been good, it's been great. We've it's been fantastic. Die. I'm just playing shift. Oh, my God, I don't know what like I was like, I kind of know maybe what will happen. Oh, she's rolling at 20 or something on investigation. So she's like, I'm going to have to give it something. OK. Yeah. If I surely she won't be stupid enough to. Oh, she is stupid enough. I'll maybe I'll question that. Nope, she's still doing it. OK, fine. This now. Well, I guess next time to find out how that goes.

58:13 Absolutely fucked rivets this will. Be my the last episode we put out for me before I have my hopefully get my life back surgery yes. Good luck with that. Don't die because we're going to sing Wonderwall as we incinerate you. Because I want to know what's. Going to happen next, maybe also that. So avoid Wonderwall. Yeah, cool. I guess by the time this comes out, you're like 5 weeks for your recovery. Yeah, that's the plan anyway. So yeah, I can't. Believe I might die? Yeah. I've got time to cook on that, I suppose.

58:49 About 5 weeks, yeah. Come back next time to find out what happens there. But for now, like rate, subscribe. Comment hits up at 6:00 and 9:00.
