00:09:53,677 --> 00:09:56,138
Well, despite what you may
think of me, Essek,
187
00:09:56,221 --> 00:09:58,348
I am a man of my word.
188
00:09:58,432 --> 00:10:00,267
This was always our arrangement.
189
00:10:00,350 --> 00:10:02,060
Knowledge of Dunamancy
190
00:10:02,144 --> 00:10:04,479
in exchange for saving your mother's life.
191
00:10:05,689 --> 00:10:07,482
Well, I'm...
192
00:10:07,566 --> 00:10:09,609
I'm glad to hear it.
193
00:10:09,693 --> 00:10:12,779
Now, I believe I found a way
to stabilize the body
194
00:10:12,863 --> 00:10:15,657
- to extract the soul without--
- [door opens]
195
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:18,493
The king, Master.
196
00:10:18,577 --> 00:10:21,038
Asking for your presence at the council.
197
00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:23,373
[sighs] Carry on, Essek.
198
00:10:23,457 --> 00:10:25,250
I'll only be a minute.
199
00:10:27,669 --> 00:10:28,920
Watch him.
200
00:10:29,004 --> 00:10:31,590
He doesn't touch it unless I'm here.
201
00:10:31,673 --> 00:10:33,550
Yes, Master.
202
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:35,177
Yes, yes.
203
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:37,763
This just might work.
204
00:10:37,846 --> 00:10:39,931
- [dog barking in distance]
- [crashing in distance]
205
00:10:40,015 --> 00:10:42,017
[eerie music playing]
206
00:10:46,938 --> 00:10:49,066
- [clattering in distance]
- [Jester] The Evening Nip.
207
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:50,942
- [chuckles]
- [Fjord] Um,
208
00:10:51,026 --> 00:10:53,945
I thought you said
this gentleman was sophisticated.
209
00:10:54,029 --> 00:10:56,073
This the place?
210
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:58,200
Only one way to find out.
211
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:05,457
And where have you been?
212
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:06,792
Shopping.
213
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:09,336
Molly said this dude likes fancy, right?
214
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:13,715
[door closes]
215
00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:19,012
[low growling]
216
00:11:19,096 --> 00:11:20,430
Eeh.
217
00:11:20,514 --> 00:11:22,057
Yeah, it's a vibe.
218
00:11:22,140 --> 00:11:23,809
- [bottles clinking]
- [clears throat]
219
00:11:23,892 --> 00:11:25,644
We brought presents.
220
00:11:28,605 --> 00:11:30,357
Oh. Um...
221
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,693
we bring bounteous offerings?
222
00:11:33,777 --> 00:11:34,820
[groans]
223
00:11:35,904 --> 00:11:38,824
You have coin for drinks or you don't.
224
00:11:38,907 --> 00:11:41,701
We don't barter, purple man.
225
00:11:41,785 --> 00:11:43,286
Apologies.
226
00:11:43,370 --> 00:11:46,540
The man who told me the passphrase
is dead and my memory can be funny.
227
00:11:46,623 --> 00:11:47,791
Hilarious, even.
228
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:52,963
[low snarling]
229
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:55,298
Uh, Molly?
230
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:02,055
[soft growl]
231
00:12:02,139 --> 00:12:03,765
Maybe we should have brought more gifts.
232
00:12:03,849 --> 00:12:05,475
Ah, yes, that's it.
233
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,853
[clears throat] "While I have no coin,
234
00:12:07,936 --> 00:12:11,106
I'd be willing to offer many gifts."
235
00:12:13,024 --> 00:12:14,443
[Kutha groans]
236
00:12:19,823 --> 00:12:21,741
Welcome to the Nip.
237
00:12:21,825 --> 00:12:22,951
Lovely.
238
00:12:23,034 --> 00:12:26,079
A hidden staircase is always a nice touch.
239
00:12:31,877 --> 00:12:33,712
Sire, you sent for me?
240
00:12:34,713 --> 00:12:35,797
Hmm.
241
00:12:35,881 --> 00:12:38,049
{\an8}Good evening.
242
00:12:38,133 --> 00:12:40,635
{\an8}Vess. Why are you h...
243
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:45,348
Ah. There is no meeting with the king.
244
00:12:45,432 --> 00:12:48,059
Your own hubris did this, Trent.
245
00:12:48,143 --> 00:12:49,895
There was nothing I could do.
246
00:12:49,978 --> 00:12:51,980
[ominous music playing]
247
00:12:54,566 --> 00:12:57,027
[Ikithon] Curator Tasha.
248
00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:59,237
[Tasha] Trent Ikithon,
249
00:12:59,321 --> 00:13:00,989
the Cobalt Soul has found evidence
250
00:13:01,072 --> 00:13:03,950
of your involvement in the attack
on Rockguard Garrison.
251
00:13:04,034 --> 00:13:05,494
This is absurd.
252
00:13:07,704 --> 00:13:09,206
Shratten g... [groaning]
253
00:13:11,291 --> 00:13:13,627
You see? Hubris.
254
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:15,879
Stepping right onto a binding spell.
255
00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:17,547
By order of the king,
256
00:13:17,631 --> 00:13:20,634
you are hereby under arrest for treason.
257
00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:28,350
The Assembly cannot spare you
from the king's decree.
258
00:13:28,433 --> 00:13:30,227
I am sorry, old friend.
259
00:13:37,067 --> 00:13:39,069
[soft chatter]
260
00:13:47,744 --> 00:13:51,039
[chuckles] I can't believe
we cracked their secret password.
261
00:13:51,122 --> 00:13:52,749
We're fucking geniuses.
262
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:55,460
We are, aren't we?
We should start a band. [gasps]
263
00:13:55,544 --> 00:13:57,295
Or a detective agency.
264
00:13:57,379 --> 00:13:58,838
[Cree] Lucien?
265
00:13:59,923 --> 00:14:01,508
Lucien!
266
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:04,803
How? How is this possible?
267
00:14:04,886 --> 00:14:08,181
Oh. It's... you.
268
00:14:08,265 --> 00:14:09,516
It has been...
269
00:14:09,599 --> 00:14:11,476
Well, it's been far too long. [chuckles]
270
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:14,145
[sighs] Two years since that night.
271
00:14:14,229 --> 00:14:16,273
Your hair is different.
272
00:14:16,356 --> 00:14:18,400
These tattoos.
273
00:14:19,484 --> 00:14:20,819
Oh.
274
00:14:20,902 --> 00:14:22,362
And a new crew.
275
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:25,740
Ah. It's a long story.
276
00:14:25,824 --> 00:14:27,367
I'll tell you later,
if you catch my drift?
277
00:14:27,450 --> 00:14:30,120
Oh. Oh, of course, Nonagon.
278
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:32,872
Uh, does this mean it worked?
279
00:14:32,956 --> 00:14:34,040
The ritual.
280
00:14:35,125 --> 00:14:37,335
Uh, Lucien,
281
00:14:37,419 --> 00:14:39,671
- who is your friend here?
- Uh...
282
00:14:39,754 --> 00:14:41,423
Mm. Apologies.
283
00:14:41,506 --> 00:14:42,716
I am Cree.
284
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:44,050
Yes. Cree.
285
00:14:44,134 --> 00:14:45,969
My old friend Cree. [chuckles softly]
286
00:14:46,052 --> 00:14:48,179
How much do they know?
287
00:14:48,263 --> 00:14:50,807
Oh, everything. All the rituals.
288
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,643
Um, but, uh, which one was this, again?
289
00:14:53,727 --> 00:14:54,811
[chuckling]
290
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,938
Hmm. The mage you hired
291
00:14:57,022 --> 00:14:58,898
said something went wrong.
292
00:14:58,982 --> 00:15:02,152
After the burial,
she absconded with your book.
293
00:15:02,235 --> 00:15:03,612
That's terrible.
294
00:15:03,695 --> 00:15:06,197
I loved that... book?
295
00:15:06,281 --> 00:15:08,950
I can call the Tombtakers back
at your command.
296
00:15:09,034 --> 00:15:10,994
- I can--
- No, no. No need for that. [chuckles]
297
00:15:11,077 --> 00:15:13,496
We actually have business
with the Gentleman.
298
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:14,956
Quiet business.
299
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,166
You understand?
300
00:15:16,249 --> 00:15:18,168
Oh. Oh! Of course.
301
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:20,253
Of course, Nonagon. Now, come.
302
00:15:20,337 --> 00:15:21,546
Come this way.
303
00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:23,548
Molly, what the fuck?
304
00:15:23,632 --> 00:15:24,841
I have no idea.
305
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:26,176
Just go with it.
306
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:28,261
[suspenseful music playing]
307
00:15:34,351 --> 00:15:35,393
Company.
308
00:15:36,478 --> 00:15:37,729
[chuckling]
309
00:15:37,812 --> 00:15:39,939
Well, what strangers have graced us
310
00:15:40,023 --> 00:15:42,651
with their majestic presence?
311
00:15:42,734 --> 00:15:44,903
Come. Come, come.
312
00:15:46,821 --> 00:15:48,448
A fine evening to you.
313
00:15:48,531 --> 00:15:50,784
We are the Mighty Nein.
314
00:15:52,327 --> 00:15:53,578
Uh-huh.
315
00:15:53,662 --> 00:15:55,497
Uh, do you need a wipe?
316
00:15:55,580 --> 00:15:57,374
- And you must be the Gentleman.
- Oh.
317
00:15:57,457 --> 00:15:59,250
Guilty. As always.
318
00:15:59,334 --> 00:16:02,671
Now, what brings you to my pocket
of the world, Mighty Nein?
319
00:16:02,754 --> 00:16:04,881
We're here to barter for a favor.
320
00:16:07,717 --> 00:16:09,010
Hmm.
321
00:16:10,011 --> 00:16:11,012
Is that...
322
00:16:11,096 --> 00:16:12,806
Tusk Love?
323
00:16:12,889 --> 00:16:14,766
- The tantalizing tale of hidden romance
- Tale of hidden romance
324
00:16:14,849 --> 00:16:16,893
- and forbidden lust!
- and forbidden lust!
325
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:19,813
Well, at least one of you has fine taste.
326
00:16:19,896 --> 00:16:23,233
- [giggles]
- But I do not barter so simply.
327
00:16:23,316 --> 00:16:26,027
I presume you've come, after all,
328
00:16:26,111 --> 00:16:28,029
for something special.
329
00:16:28,113 --> 00:16:30,657
[Caleb] A protection amulet.
330
00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:32,826
To guard against unwanted eyes.
331
00:16:32,909 --> 00:16:34,953
We hear you are a master smuggler.
332
00:16:35,036 --> 00:16:36,913
Hmm.
333
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:39,749
Well, you must have powerful enemies
334
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:42,210
to want such a generous favor.
335
00:16:42,293 --> 00:16:44,129
Very well.
336
00:16:44,212 --> 00:16:46,047
Uh, there is a job.
337
00:16:46,131 --> 00:16:49,008
It seems some pre-Calamity ruins
338
00:16:49,092 --> 00:16:51,678
have been uncovered at the Egelin Quarry.
339
00:16:51,761 --> 00:16:53,763
Not uncommon but for the fact
340
00:16:53,847 --> 00:16:57,434
that the Cerberus Assembly
has taken an interest in them.
341
00:16:57,517 --> 00:16:59,686
Rumor has it they may be
342
00:16:59,769 --> 00:17:02,480
the legendary tunnels of Nydas Okiro.
343
00:17:08,153 --> 00:17:10,530
Nydas? Okiro?
344
00:17:10,613 --> 00:17:13,575
The infamous pirate mercenary
of the Golden Scythe. Did...
345
00:17:13,658 --> 00:17:15,452
did none of you go to school?
346
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,036
I was homeschooled.
347
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:18,538
Yeah, I read the story.
348
00:17:18,621 --> 00:17:20,957
Nydas stole a bunch of stuff,
squirreled it away.
349
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,918
Uh, did you say "pirate"?
350
00:17:24,002 --> 00:17:26,504
Nydas is said to have hoarded
351
00:17:26,588 --> 00:17:29,215
his most valuable treasures
in his flagship,
352
00:17:29,299 --> 00:17:31,176
which he buried in a series of caves
353
00:17:31,259 --> 00:17:34,304
that he called the Inverted Vault.
354
00:17:34,387 --> 00:17:36,431
To prevent his enemies from finding it,
355
00:17:36,514 --> 00:17:38,016
he set magical traps that
356
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:41,186
only he knew how to disarm.
357
00:17:41,269 --> 00:17:43,396
You want us to go in
and bring back something shiny.
358
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,690
[The Gentleman chuckles]
Not just "something."
359
00:17:45,774 --> 00:17:48,109
Nydas' own Arcane Compass.
360
00:17:48,193 --> 00:17:50,528
It will undoubtedly be
in his personal quarters.
361
00:17:50,612 --> 00:17:53,740
And what makes you think the empire
hasn't already picked the place clean?
362
00:17:53,823 --> 00:17:57,243
I'm told the soldiers have had issues
accessing the hoard.
363
00:17:57,327 --> 00:17:58,912
What kind of issues?
364
00:17:58,995 --> 00:18:00,455
- They all end up dead.
- [exclaims]
365
00:18:00,538 --> 00:18:02,165
Fucking fantastic.
366
00:18:02,248 --> 00:18:05,794
Uh, wait. We said
we'd help Caleb buy a necklace,
367
00:18:05,877 --> 00:18:09,130

549
00:27:02,913 --> 00:27:04,332
Uh, hey, look.
550
00:27:05,875 --> 00:27:08,377
This Nydas was a pirate, right?
551
00:27:08,461 --> 00:27:09,837
Yar.
552
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,840
[Fjord] Well, he navigated by the stars.
553
00:27:12,923 --> 00:27:14,842
Constellations.
554
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:22,767
They rotate.
555
00:27:22,850 --> 00:27:24,393
Oh, I love puzzles.
556
00:27:24,477 --> 00:27:27,605
Maybe... maybe they match
the stars on the ceiling.
557
00:27:27,688 --> 00:27:30,608
[Nott] But there's hundreds of them.
558
00:27:36,447 --> 00:27:38,240
Lesser Draconia.
559
00:27:38,324 --> 00:27:40,534
I-It's a dragon constellation.
560
00:27:57,968 --> 00:27:59,762
Draconia Major.
561
00:28:00,805 --> 00:28:03,224
[chuckles] Okay, this is pretty neat.
562
00:28:05,059 --> 00:28:06,977
The Serpent Mistress.
563
00:28:16,612 --> 00:28:20,574
Greetings! If you've made it this far,
I'm officially impressed.
564
00:28:20,658 --> 00:28:22,284
If you remain impressive,
565
00:28:22,368 --> 00:28:24,870
perhaps there is a prize waiting for you.
566
00:28:24,954 --> 00:28:27,498
Must be that Nydas fellow.
567
00:28:27,581 --> 00:28:29,250
Quite the parlor trick.
568
00:28:29,333 --> 00:28:32,378
Good luck, stay hydrated, and have fun.
569
00:28:32,461 --> 00:28:33,504
[laughs]
570
00:28:33,587 --> 00:28:35,047
Also, don't die.
571
00:28:40,094 --> 00:28:43,013
Mm, very good work, Captain.
572
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,685
[somber music playing]

[Deirta vocalizing a tune]
574
00:29:02,199 --> 00:29:04,326
I've done it, Mother.
575
00:29:04,410 --> 00:29:05,995
A cure.
576
00:29:06,078 --> 00:29:08,789
I'm taking you with me to--
577
00:29:08,873 --> 00:29:10,791
[atmospheric music playing]
578
00:29:10,875 --> 00:29:12,293
Who was here?
579
00:29:12,376 --> 00:29:15,504
Verrat stopped by to say farewell.
580
00:29:15,588 --> 00:29:18,215
What do you mean, "farewell"?
581
00:29:18,299 --> 00:29:20,593
{\an8}The Bright Queen
has sent him to the front.
582
00:29:20,676 --> 00:29:23,137
{\an8}They are to seize the border tonight.
583
00:29:23,220 --> 00:29:25,848
- [vocalizing]
- But without the beacon,
584
00:29:25,931 --> 00:29:27,808
he'll die.

00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:32,229

[catches breath]
588
00:29:37,526 --> 00:29:41,489
Sorry. I did not expect
that statue's wang to be trapped.
589
00:29:41,572 --> 00:29:44,950
All right. What fresh hell
awaits us in this room?
590
00:29:45,034 --> 00:29:47,119
Holy balls of poop.
591
00:29:47,203 --> 00:29:49,205
[eerie music playing]
592
00:29:56,045 --> 00:29:59,632
{\an8}[Jester] These guys look... nice.
593
00:30:02,635 --> 00:30:04,803
Well, that is no parlor trick.
594
00:30:07,848 --> 00:30:09,517
[Beau] Nydas' flagship.
595
00:30:10,518 --> 00:30:13,562
So, this fancy-ass compass
is in that ship?
596
00:30:13,646 --> 00:30:15,481
How are we supposed to get up there?
597
00:30:16,524 --> 00:30:18,359
Visda-Revelo.
598
00:30:22,404 --> 00:30:24,198
I see a way.

[gate clanging]
601
00:30:40,631 --> 00:30:42,716
I should have you disemboweled
602
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,303
just for making me come down
to this forsaken hellhole.
603
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,889
Remove his gag.
604
00:30:48,973 --> 00:30:52,142
- [torturer] Sire, wizard-speak can--
- I know what he can do.
605
00:30:52,226 --> 00:30:54,853
Remove it and get out.

[exhales]
607
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:02,069
Long live the king.

[grunts]
609
00:31:03,737 --> 00:31:05,406
You stole the beacon,
610
00:31:05,489 --> 00:31:07,783
then lied to my face about it.
611
00:31:08,993 --> 00:31:10,744
Yes.
612
00:31:10,828 --> 00:31:14,248
What other lies have you told,
master wizard?
613
00:31:14,331 --> 00:31:16,750
You hired me to lie, sire.
614
00:31:16,834 --> 00:31:18,085
To your people.
615
00:31:18,168 --> 00:31:21,338
To your bureaucrats and politicians.
616
00:31:21,422 --> 00:31:23,882
My life's service
has been to lie to anyone
617
00:31:23,966 --> 00:31:26,176
who would weaken the empire.
618
00:31:26,260 --> 00:31:29,513
- Even you.
- I am the empire.
619
00:31:29,597 --> 00:31:31,682
Which is why I could not risk
620
00:31:31,765 --> 00:31:34,101
you knowing of the operation,
621
00:31:34,184 --> 00:31:37,938
until I could discover what boons or banes
the beacon possessed.
622
00:31:38,022 --> 00:31:39,732
You mages.
623
00:31:39,815 --> 00:31:42,192
Always "researching."
624
00:31:42,276 --> 00:31:44,111
Life is more than knowledge.
625
00:31:44,194 --> 00:31:46,363
However clever you lot think you are,
626
00:31:46,447 --> 00:31:49,617
you know nothing of reality.
627
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:52,369
Your "operation" has started a war
628
00:31:52,453 --> 00:31:55,122
that would tear this continent apart.
629
00:31:55,205 --> 00:31:57,875
That is real.
630
00:31:57,958 --> 00:31:59,793
Who cares?
631
00:31:59,877 --> 00:32:02,171
[short chuckle] Excuse me?
632
00:32:02,254 --> 00:32:04,381
Who cares who starts the war?
633
00:32:04,465 --> 00:32:06,925
So long as our side wins.
634
00:32:07,009 --> 00:32:09,887
Und I can guarantee victory.
635
00:32:09,970 --> 00:32:12,014
[scoffs] How?
636
00:32:13,098 --> 00:32:14,975
Research.
637
00:32:19,146 --> 00:32:22,066
Very well. Show me.

[pensive music playing]
639
00:32:35,371 --> 00:32:37,956
Well, now I just feel stupid.
640
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,334
[sighs] We should have known.
641
00:32:40,417 --> 00:32:42,961
Not even this place could hold him.
642
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:50,219
Bro, there's nothing there.
643
00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:52,763
How am I supposed to jump
to something I can't see?
644
00:32:52,846 --> 00:32:54,390
I will guide you.
645
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,892
Oh, and if you're full of shit,
I'm a bloodstain on the floor.
646
00:32:56,975 --> 00:32:59,937
Why would I kill you, Beauregard?
You are still useful to me.
647
00:33:00,020 --> 00:33:01,230
For now.
648
00:33:04,233 --> 00:33:06,026
I am not allowed to joke?

{\an8}[weak chuckle]

Fine. Let's just do this.

Uh, where's the first one?
656

Two meters forward, half a meter right.

Oh. Perhaps it was 2.5 meters.

Tell me, where did you
sneak off to before?

Screw this. I'm coming back.

- for treason.
- You what?
697
00:36:15,924 --> 00:36:18,135
He stole a weapon from the Dynasty.
698

He's starting a war that's gonna
kill a lot of innocent people.

So, my partner's gonna take him down,

along with your Volstrucker buddies.
702
00:36:26,518 --> 00:36:30,147
So if you got a fucking problem with that
or me, then drop me.
703

Kill me.
Do whatever you got to fucking do.

but the only way
to deal with Trent Ikithon is to kill him.

I will find the compass.

You must be quite ingenious.

- You have got to be kidding me.
- You have got to be kidding me.

[Nott] I think they heard us.
727
00:38:23,135 --> 00:38:26,138
Right. We probably deserve this.
