1. It's them!
Copy !req
2. Get ready.
Copy !req
3. Two more prisoners
coming in!
Copy !req
4. Prepare for docking!
Copy !req
5. In position!
Copy !req
6. Easy!
Copy !req
7. Gate secure!
Copy !req
8. Prisoner walking!
Copy !req
9. Oh, great.
Another cellmate.
Copy !req
10. No offense, pal.
You seem lovely.
Copy !req
11. Uh...
Let's show you around.
Get you situated here.
Copy !req
12. This is the bucket where
our pee freezes. And, um...
Copy !req
13. Yeah, that's it.
Copy !req
14. What's your name, lass?
Copy !req
15. Uh, That's Holga.
I'm Edgin. And you are?
Copy !req
16. I've been in a lot of cells.
Never shared one with a female.
Copy !req
17. Think I'm gonna like it.
Copy !req
18. Word of advice,
Copy !req
19. Holga doesn't love
to be disturbed while
she's eating her potatoes.
Copy !req
20. Kind of the highlight
of her day. Shut up, you!
Copy !req
21. Sure thing. Have at it.
Copy !req
22. Little shy, eh?
Copy !req
23. I'm not so bad once
you get to know me.
Copy !req
24. Mmm.
Copy !req
25. Don't be like that.
Copy !req
26. We could be very happy to—
Copy !req
27. I think I'm gonna
do this without fingers
and make it a mitten.
Copy !req
28. Who am I trying to impress?
Copy !req
29. Oi! Stop that singing!
Copy !req
30. You got it, Tobias.
Copy !req
31. The Absolution Council
is tomorrow.
Copy !req
32. Don't get
your hopes up, Ed.
Copy !req
33. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
34. Jarnathan is on the council
this time. He's an Aarakocra.
Copy !req
35. If anyone's gonna free us,
it's him.
Copy !req
36. Not gonna happen.
Copy !req
37. I tell you, Holga, this is
your last day chopping ice.
Copy !req
38. By authority
of the Lords" Alliance,
Copy !req
39. this Absolution Council
will now come to order
Copy !req
40. in the case of Edgin Darvis
and Holga Kilgore.
Copy !req
41. This is the second year of
incarceration for the crimes
Copy !req
42. of grand larceny
and skullduggery.
Copy !req
43. It is the task of this council
to determine your eligibility
for pardon.
Copy !req
44. What say you?
Copy !req
45. Thank you, Chancellor Anderton,
esteemed members of the council.
Copy !req
46. Before I begin, I notice
that Chancellor Jarnathan
is not present.
Copy !req
47. Should we perhaps wait?
Copy !req
48. Chancellor Jarnathan was delayed
by the storm. You may begin.
Copy !req
49. I see. It's just that I—
Copy !req
50. we were really counting
on him to attend.
Copy !req
51. Begin or waive
your statement.
Copy !req
52. Very well.
Copy !req
53. I should start
by giving you some context.
Copy !req
54. You may be surprised to learn
I wasn't always a thief.
Copy !req
55. Years ago, I became a member
of the Harpers faction,
Copy !req
56. a network of spies who
swear an oath to fight tyranny,
Copy !req
57. defend the oppressed
and to ask nothing in return.
Copy !req
58. My wife, Zia,
supported my decision,
even though she knew the risks.
Copy !req
59. By day,
I'd eavesdrop on mercenaries,
Copy !req
60. stop bandits in their tracks...
Copy !req
61. and even bring
Thayan Red Wizards to justice.
Copy !req
62. By night, I'd come home
to my loving wife,
and daughter, Kira.
Copy !req
63. To be honest, there were times
when I began to question
Copy !req
64. the "asking nothing in return"
part of my oath.
Copy !req
65. But my wife would always say,
Copy !req
66. "You don't have
to give us everything,
you only have to give us you."
Copy !req
67. So what's the latest
on Jarnathan?
Copy !req
68. Is he close by?
Because I can wait.
Copy !req
69. Did you not hear what we said? Right, the storm.
Copy !req
70. It's just that based on
what I know about Jarnathan,
Copy !req
71. I think he'd be especially
receptive to my story.
Copy !req
72. And I'd hate to have to wait
a whole other year
Copy !req
73. to come back in here and—Proceed.
Copy !req
74. Absolutely. Here we go.
Copy !req
75. When you're a Harper,
you're bound to make enemies.
Copy !req
76. And sometimes those enemies
come looking for revenge.
Copy !req
77. No cleric can repair the damage
from a Red Wizard's blade.
Copy !req
78. There was no way to revive her.
Copy !req
79. When Zia died,
so did my devotion to my oath.
Copy !req
80. I'm sorry, it's just hard
to relive this...
Copy !req
81. - without Jarnathan here.
- Again with this?
Copy !req
82. But he missed the most
important part of my backstory!
Copy !req
83. How can he judge me
without knowing my motivation?
Copy !req
84. We are entirely capable
of deciding your case
without Jarnathan.
Copy !req
85. - Get on with it!
- Fine. Where was I? Uh...
Copy !req
86. By night, I'd come home
to my loving wife,
and daughter Kira.
Copy !req
87. You went back too far.
Stop stalling!
Copy !req
88. Right, sorry.
Yeah, broad strokes.
Copy !req
89. The next few months
were among my most shameful.
Copy !req
90. That's when I met Holga.
Copy !req
91. She took pity on me.
Copy !req
92. Well,
she took pity on the baby.
Copy !req
93. Holga was a fellow resident
of rock bottom.
Copy !req
94. Many years before, she'd
been cast out of her tribe
Copy !req
95. for falling in love
with an outsider.
Copy !req
96. We quickly became like
brother and sister.
Copy !req
97. With a relationship built
on trust and mutual respect.
Copy !req
98. Neither of us had money
or an honest way to earn it,
Copy !req
99. so we decided to table "honest"
and we tried something new.
Copy !req
100. It's intoxicating
when you realize
Copy !req
101. that what separates you
from what you've always wanted
Copy !req
102. can be as thin
as a pane of glass.
Copy !req
103. You may be wondering how
we could carry on
this criminal lifestyle
Copy !req
104. with a young girl at home.
Copy !req
105. Well, we didn't
leave her at home.
Copy !req
106. Hurry, hurry! Run, run, run!
Copy !req
107. Kira wasn't
the only new recruit.
Copy !req
108. We also added Simon,
a so-so sorcerer,
Copy !req
109. and a con man named Forge,
who pushed us to aim
even higher.
Copy !req
110. Before long, we became a team.
Copy !req
111. Yes, we were thieves,
Copy !req
112. but I tried to hold us
to a certain standard.
Copy !req
113. We never harmed anyone.
Copy !req
114. And we only robbed from those
who would feel it the least.
Copy !req
115. But everything changed
when we met the wizard Sofina.
Copy !req
116. We knew almost nothing
about her.
Copy !req
117. Only that she wanted our help
in robbing Korinn's Keep.
Copy !req
118. That's a Harper stronghold.
I don't know if you've
heard of it.
Copy !req
119. I'm sure Jarnathan has.
Copy !req
120. The keep was filled
with the priceless relics
seized from evildoers,
Copy !req
121. and only Harpers could
gain access to the vault.
Copy !req
122. Which is why Sofina came to us.
Copy !req
123. At first, I refused.
I wouldn't stoop that low.
Copy !req
124. But then Forge told me
that among the relics
in Korinn's Keep,
Copy !req
125. there was
a Tablet of Reawakening,
Copy !req
126. capable of bringing back
a single deceased person.
Copy !req
127. Even one killed
by a Red Wizard's blade.
Copy !req
128. You can probably see
where this is going.
Copy !req
129. Why can't I come? Sorry, Kir,
this one's too dangerous.
Copy !req
130. Then you shouldn't go.
Copy !req
131. We have everything
that we need.
Copy !req
132. Not yet.
But this is the last one.
Copy !req
133. Trust me.
Copy !req
134. Chin up, Bug.
We'll be right back.
Copy !req
135. I didn't tell her
about the tablet.
Copy !req
136. It would break her heart
if it all went to shit.
Copy !req
137. And, well,
Copy !req
138. to shit it went.
Copy !req
139. See you soon, love.
Copy !req
140. Intruders!
Copy !req
141. There they are!
Copy !req
142. We don't hurt anyone.
Copy !req
143. She's caught in the Time Stop!
Counter it, Simon!
Copy !req
144. I can't.
Sofina's too powerful.
Copy !req
145. Take the tablet.
Keep Kira safe.
Copy !req
146. You have my word.
Copy !req
147. The truth is, even if
this council were to sentence
me to another two years,
Copy !req
148. or 20 for that matter,
Copy !req
149. it would never be punishment
enough for the worst crime
I ever committed...
Copy !req
150. robbing my daughter
of her father.
Copy !req
151. But know that,
if you do choose to free me,
Copy !req
152. I'll spend the rest of my days
trying to right that wrong.
Copy !req
153. Anything you want to add?
Copy !req
154. I'm good.
Copy !req
155. Before you announce
your decision,
Copy !req
156. I implore you
to please wait for—
Copy !req
157. Jarnathan! Pardon my belatedness.
Copy !req
158. I can't tell you how happy
I am to see you! Step away!
Copy !req
159. Holga, now! Guards!
Copy !req
160. Release me, sir!
Copy !req
161. She's throwing potatoes!
Copy !req
162. Oh, Jarnathan!
Copy !req
163. But we approved your pardon!
Copy !req
164. Fly, bird, fly!
Copy !req
165. He's still breathing.
Copy !req
166. I told you he'd get us out!
Copy !req
167. Any sign of Kira?
Copy !req
168. Been empty for a while.
Copy !req
169. Where do you think
Forge took her?
Copy !req
170. I can't see him leaving
the Sword Coast.
Forge always liked cities.
Copy !req
171. Some supper
for you and your wife?
Copy !req
172. What? No.
She's not my wife.Me with that?
Copy !req
173. With those lips? That's so gross.
Just the drinks.
Copy !req
174. So, we take a boat
down to Baldur's Gate
Copy !req
175. and then head north.
Copy !req
176. And while we're
looking for Forge,
I'll pay Marlamin a visit.
Copy !req
177. You sure you really want
to put yourself through that?
Copy !req
178. What if he doesn't want
to talk to you?It's not about what he wants.
Copy !req
179. Okay.It's about closure.
Copy !req
180. He sent you a letter saying
he wasn't your husband anymore.
Copy !req
181. Wasn't that closure?
Copy !req
182. You wouldn't understand.I don't.
Copy !req
183. I clearly, clearly don't.
Copy !req
184. Is that...
Copy !req
185. Son of a bitch.
Copy !req
186. Forge is
Lord of Neverwinter.
Copy !req
187. How did that clown
pull that off?
Copy !req
188. Well, as long as he's got Kira,
I don't care.
Copy !req
189. Come on. Let's go.
Copy !req
190. Thanks, pal.
What's wrong with my lips?
Copy !req
191. They're too big
for your face. What?
Copy !req
192. A lot of people
like my lips.
Copy !req
193. I've never seen
this place so crowded.
Copy !req
194. Must be coming in
for the High Sun Games.
Copy !req
195. Yeah, my dad
took me to the last one
before they were outlawed.
Copy !req
196. Anyone win?
Copy !req
197. Well, one contestant made it
to the final round
Copy !req
198. before a monster ate
his upper body, so...
Copy !req
199. no.
Copy !req
200. It's nice to see
that Forge hasn't lost
his sense of modesty.
Copy !req
201. How long has it been? Two years.
Copy !req
202. No, how long have
we been waiting here?
Copy !req
203. Dad.
Copy !req
204. Holga?
Copy !req
205. Kira.
Copy !req
206. Oh!
Copy !req
207. - I missed you so much.
- Hello, Bug.
Copy !req
208. - Come here.
- Hi.
Copy !req
209. Oh.
Copy !req
210. I thought about you
every day.
Copy !req
211. I made you these.
Copy !req
212. - What are they?
- Mittens!
Copy !req
213. Oh. Thanks.
Copy !req
214. Have you been okay?
Copy !req
215. Uncle Forge has been
very good to me.
Copy !req
216. "Uncle" Forge?
Copy !req
217. Come on.
He wants to see you.
Copy !req
218. I still wear the pendant
you got me, Holga.
Copy !req
219. I use it to sneak around
the castle sometimes.
Copy !req
220. So strange that you're here. Hey, Kir, look.
Copy !req
221. I want you to know I am so sorry
for how things turned out.
Copy !req
222. I took a risk.
Copy !req
223. And it didn't pay off.
Copy !req
224. Why do you look mad at me?
Copy !req
225. Because you're acting like
it wasn't your fault.
Copy !req
226. There they are!
Copy !req
227. Oh!
Copy !req
228. Old friends.
Copy !req
229. What a wonderful surprise. Come.
Copy !req
230. Oh?
Copy !req
231. Do I spy
a little bit of gray?
Copy !req
232. I do. I like it.
Copy !req
233. It's scoundrelly
but professorial.
Copy !req
234. You look like a—
What do you look like?
Copy !req
235. You look like
a well-read fisherman
with secrets.
Copy !req
236. And Holga.
Copy !req
237. I know you don't
like hugs.
Copy !req
238. But I need one. Yes?
Copy !req
239. - Oh.
- Mmm. Mmm.
Copy !req
240. Mmm! Mmm.
Copy !req
241. These last years
must have been dreadful,
Copy !req
242. but I tell you what,
I did think you'd serve longer.
Copy !req
243. Oh! Uh, we— We got an...
early release.
Copy !req
244. Good behavior. Yeah, behaving good.
Copy !req
245. Ah. I see.
Copy !req
246. Well, welcome. Welcome back.
Copy !req
247. Oh, that's blistering.
That's blisteringly hot.
Copy !req
248. Yet again.
Copy !req
249. Kira, we really should speak
to the kitchen staff,
Copy !req
250. because there's simply no need
for it to be this hot.
Copy !req
251. Yeah, yeah, the tea's hot.
So, how are you
the Lord of Neverwinter?
Copy !req
252. Right. Before you went off
to prison, you charged me
with Kira's well-being.
Copy !req
253. Didn't think much of it
at the time.
Copy !req
254. But there came a moment
when I looked into her eyes,
Copy !req
255. and I suddenly knew
I had to be a better man.
Copy !req
256. Obviously, I couldn't give back
the treasures we'd stolen,
Copy !req
257. so when Lord Neverember
fell ill,
Copy !req
258. I seized the chance to try and,
you know, make a difference.
Copy !req
259. And the money from Korinn's Keep
paved the way for my campaign.
Copy !req
260. But I will tell you this...
Copy !req
261. Couldn't have done it alone.
Copy !req
262. Ah! And here she is!
Copy !req
263. You remember Sofina.
Copy !req
264. You're still working with her? She's the one
that got us caught.
Copy !req
265. Not true, no.
Without her,
we all would have been caught.
Copy !req
266. And since then,
she has become...
Copy !req
267. my top adviser. Mmm.
Copy !req
268. The tea is scorching,
I do apologize.
It's scorching hot.
Copy !req
269. Um, Sofina.
Copy !req
270. Would you mind very much, um...
Copy !req
271. Certainly.
Copy !req
272. Hmm.
Copy !req
273. Good. Thank you. I— I'm...
Copy !req
274. I didn't realize you were
gonna put your finger
in the cup, so...
Copy !req
275. I'm gonna leave that for later.
Copy !req
276. Well, if you'll give us
the tablet, Kira, Holga
and I will be on our way.
Copy !req
277. Of course that's why
you came back.
Copy !req
278. No, it wasn't for me.
It was for that
Tablet of Riches.
Copy !req
279. Riches?
Copy !req
280. No, it's— it's
the Tablet of Reawakening.
Copy !req
281. I'm sorry, what's this now?
Copy !req
282. The reason why
I agreed to the heist.
Copy !req
283. Is that what he's told you?
That I left you for more riches?
Copy !req
284. I told her the truth.
She has a right to know it.
Copy !req
285. He's been lying
to you, Kira.
Copy !req
286. I wanted to— I wanted
to bring your mother back.
Copy !req
287. Oh, Ed, come on.
Look, I know how much
you crave her forgiveness,
Copy !req
288. but I promise you,
more lies is not the way.
Copy !req
289. You snake!
Copy !req
290. You know damn well
what he was after.
Copy !req
291. Why wouldn't you tell me
if you were doing it for Mom?
Copy !req
292. Because I didn't want you
to lose her again if I failed.
Copy !req
293. But you can't blame
the poor girl
for distrusting you.
Copy !req
294. After all,
Copy !req
295. you have been lying since
you set foot in the room,
haven't you?
Copy !req
296. - You escaped?
- We were trying
to get back to you, Bug.
Copy !req
297. Kira, look at me.
Copy !req
298. I swear to you, it was
a Tablet of Reawakening.
Copy !req
299. I was doing it for Mom,
for all of us.
You have to trust me.
Copy !req
300. You told me to trust you
when you left me.
Copy !req
301. Kira, no, wait, wait!
Kira!
Copy !req
302. Give her time,
give her time.
Copy !req
303. She's had years to resent you
for your absence.
Copy !req
304. And you've had years
to poison her against me.
Copy !req
305. No, that is not true.
Copy !req
306. We very rarely
spoke of you at all.
Copy !req
307. Give him what he came for. The tablet?
Copy !req
308. I don't think
I will be returning it.
Copy !req
309. Or your daughter,
for that matter.
Copy !req
310. You bastard!
Copy !req
311. And now you're in the floor!
Copy !req
312. Oh, I hate to see that.
Copy !req
313. Sofina really is a very,
very powerful wizard!
Copy !req
314. You'd have thought that
you'd have learned that
the last time she trapped you.
Copy !req
315. You always wanted us
to get caught.
Copy !req
316. No, I wanted you and Simon
to get caught, but he managed
to escape somehow.
Copy !req
317. All these years together,
and you double-cross us
for this witch?
Copy !req
318. Never put your trust
in a con man.
Copy !req
319. Save for this...
Copy !req
320. Kira really is happy
Copy !req
321. and very well
taken care of here,
Copy !req
322. and I have truly come
to love her as my own.
Copy !req
323. I never actually saw the appeal
of being a father
till I became one.
Copy !req
324. But to have another person
look up to you
Copy !req
325. and allow you to shape them
in your own image.
Copy !req
326. It's a bit like a god!
Copy !req
327. Well, hang on,
I'm a god and a lord.
I am really doing all right!
Copy !req
328. Blackwood?
Copy !req
329. Could you possibly
return them to prison?
Copy !req
330. And be sure
to collect the bounty.
Copy !req
331. Well, I must away.
Copy !req
332. I am expecting two
of the wealthiest men from
Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep
Copy !req
333. to talk about
the High Sun Games,
which are back!
Copy !req
334. So there's something, isn't it?
Copy !req
335. It was genuinely lovely
to see you both.
Copy !req
336. Ah! Ah!
Copy !req
337. Holga! Holga! Holga!
Copy !req
338. Kill both of them.
Copy !req
339. We got to get her out
of there. We will.
Copy !req
340. But we need to think
of our own hides right now.
Copy !req
341. - Yeah, you got this, right?
- I know you don't.
Copy !req
342. On your knees.
Copy !req
343. Handsome blade.
Copy !req
344. Is that the work
of Ghelryn Foehammer?
Copy !req
345. How did you know?
Copy !req
346. The inlay on the haft.
Copy !req
347. Oh.
Copy !req
348. How's the weight? Does it parry?
Copy !req
349. It's darksteel.
Copy !req
350. Mmm. Very nice.
Copy !req
351. Now put your heads down.
Copy !req
352. Wait!
Copy !req
353. What do you clean it with?
Copy !req
354. You're about
to lose your head.
Copy !req
355. This is what
you're concerned with?
Copy !req
356. If you wouldn't mind.
Copy !req
357. Boiled linseed oil.
Once a month.
Copy !req
358. Should be once a week.
That's why you're getting
rust on the bit.
Copy !req
359. Okay, chop it off. Chop it off, let's do it.
Copy !req
360. Get her!
Copy !req
361. Stop her!
Copy !req
362. Oh, we got "em now!
Copy !req
363. - Before we leave the city—
- Get boiled linseed oil, I know.
Copy !req
364. Knock, knock.
Copy !req
365. I wanted to make sure
you were all right.
Copy !req
366. I knew I'd see him again
one day.
Copy !req
367. I just hoped
it would be different.
Copy !req
368. Well, you have
to understand that
Copy !req
369. when he lost your mother,
Copy !req
370. he sort of lost himself.
Copy !req
371. Why did he lie
about the tablet?
Copy !req
372. Maybe he was ashamed to admit
how much he'd given up
for so little.
Copy !req
373. I should probably go
speak to him.
Copy !req
374. What?
Copy !req
375. Well, he's gone, my dear.
He's gone.
Copy !req
376. I gave him
the Tablet of Riches and...
Copy !req
377. he left.
Copy !req
378. Holga, too?
Copy !req
379. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
380. And I want you to know that
even if he isn't there for you,
Copy !req
381. I always will be.
Copy !req
382. I know.
Copy !req
383. The fact that
you see good in me,
Copy !req
384. makes me believe that there
might just be some in there.
Copy !req
385. We could shoot an arrow
with a message into her room.
Copy !req
386. What if it hits her? That's a risk we're gonna
have to take.
Copy !req
387. Killing my daughter with
an arrow? No, it's not.
Copy !req
388. Even if she got the message,
she wouldn't come.
She thinks of...
Copy !req
389. Forge as her dad.
Copy !req
390. We have to get into that castle
and take her out ourselves.
Copy !req
391. That's crazy, Ed.
Copy !req
392. Castle Never's tighter than
Korinn's Keep, and you know
what happened with that.
Copy !req
393. We're gonna need a team.
Copy !req
394. Team?
Who's gonna help us out?
Copy !req
395. We have nothing
to pay them with. Yeah, but Forge does.
Copy !req
396. He said the richest people
were coming to bet on
the High Sun Games.
Copy !req
397. There'll be a fortune
in that vault. Yeah.
Copy !req
398. Not to mention the tablet.
Copy !req
399. And then Kira will
know that—
Copy !req
400. We abandoned her
for the right reason.
Copy !req
401. I wouldn't put it like that,
but, uh, yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
402. Who do we get
for this team?
Copy !req
403. You know, I wonder
if Simon's still in Triboar.
Copy !req
404. Simon's a terrible sorcerer.
Copy !req
405. We haven't seen him
in two years.
I'm sure he's gotten better.
Copy !req
406. No one can hold a candle
to this trick.
Copy !req
407. How about this one?
You people like the smell
of fresh-cut grass?
Copy !req
408. Smell that?
It's fresh-cut grass.
Copy !req
409. My five-year-old can
do that magic.
Copy !req
410. But can he do this?
Copy !req
411. Boo.
Copy !req
412. He hasn't gotten better.
Copy !req
413. I don't think it's about
what he's doing up there.
Copy !req
414. This is quite hard
to be slightly blurry
like this, you know.
Copy !req
415. Anyone can be very blurry,
but to be slightly blurry,
Copy !req
416. that's the real magic.
Copy !req
417. Is that...
Copy !req
418. What? What was...
Copy !req
419. Hey!
Copy !req
420. He's nickin"
our bits and bobs!
Copy !req
421. It's not what you think.
It's all part of the act.
Copy !req
422. He's lying.
Copy !req
423. Get him!
Copy !req
424. Shield spell!
Copy !req
425. Shield spell!
Copy !req
426. That wasn't a shield spell.
Copy !req
427. I am not loving this show.
Copy !req
428. You're a dead man!
Copy !req
429. - Simon?
- Holga!
Copy !req
430. - Staying for an encore?
- Get me out of here.
Copy !req
431. I could've warned you
Forge was a prick.
Copy !req
432. Soon as we left that vault,
Sofina tried to kill me
Copy !req
433. and he just stood by.
Copy !req
434. You know, there's rumors she
made Lord Neverember fall ill
Copy !req
435. to clear the way for Forge.
Copy !req
436. Her magic is
on a whole other level.
Copy !req
437. Don't sell yourself short.
We saw your show.
Copy !req
438. Yeah, you can hit her with
that fresh-cut grass trick.
Copy !req
439. That's funny.
Copy !req
440. Look, I don't blame you
for wanting to save Kira,
Copy !req
441. and I love the idea of
knocking Forge off his perch,
Copy !req
442. but robbing Castle Never
isn't worth the risk.
Copy !req
443. And robbing your audience is?
Copy !req
444. How broke are you?Desperately.
Copy !req
445. I was planning on sleeping
in the theater tonight,
Copy !req
446. but now that seems imprudent.So?
Copy !req
447. Do we even know what sort
of arcane magic is
protecting the vault?
Copy !req
448. We're gonna find out! How?
Copy !req
449. You gonna sneak past
the entire Castle Watch?
Copy !req
450. Me? No.
A druid maybe, a Wild Shape.
Copy !req
451. They could get in and out
undetected as a—
Copy !req
452. as a mouse or a... A deer.
Copy !req
453. Yes, a deer!
It'll blend in with all
the other deer in the castle.
Copy !req
454. Don't mock me.
Copy !req
455. Where can we find a druid?
Copy !req
456. I know a druid. Doric.
Copy !req
457. She's truly one of a kind.
Copy !req
458. Sounds romantic in nature.
Copy !req
459. Yeah. For me it was.
Copy !req
460. She, however, found my lack
of self-esteem unattractive.
Copy !req
461. Not your best trait.
Copy !req
462. Thank you.
Copy !req
463. In the name
of Forge Fitzwilliam,
Copy !req
464. the prisoner is hereby sentenced
to death by dismemberment,
Copy !req
465. for the crime of speaking ill
of our leader.
Copy !req
466. The Emerald Enclave
will never relent!
Copy !req
467. Justice cannot be killed!
Copy !req
468. On my command.
Copy !req
469. Your Doric's a bit of a radical. Ready?
Copy !req
470. Oh, no, that's not Doric.
Copy !req
471. Move in!
Copy !req
472. Kill her!
Copy !req
473. Move in!
Copy !req
474. Move in!
Copy !req
475. That's her.
Copy !req
476. What is that again? It's an owlbear.
Copy !req
477. - How high is this place?
- It's just up here.
Copy !req
478. Stay where you are! Wait! Wait! It's me!
Copy !req
479. Simon. Simon who?
Copy !req
480. Ouch.
Copy !req
481. Simon Aumar. Sorcerer.
Copy !req
482. I courted you.
Copy !req
483. You said I made you feel sad.
Copy !req
484. Not from anything I did,
just from who I was.
Copy !req
485. Oh.
Copy !req
486. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
487. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
488. We need a deer. We don't need a deer.
Copy !req
489. We're gonna take down
Forge Fitzwilliam.
Copy !req
490. So, how'd you come
to live here?
Copy !req
491. I was born to humans who
decided they didn't want
a tiefling child.
Copy !req
492. Uh-huh. The wood elves took me in.
Copy !req
493. I joined the Emerald Enclave
to protect them.
Copy !req
494. That's all the more reason
to join us.
Copy !req
495. You're the only one who can
get into that castle unseen
Copy !req
496. and tell us what
we're dealing with.
Copy !req
497. As you can imagine,
I don't trust humans.
Copy !req
498. I find you to be
hateful and selfish.
Copy !req
499. Well, I'm finding you to be
a little mean.
Copy !req
500. If it helps,
I'm only half-human.
Copy !req
501. But you're a bad sorcerer.
Copy !req
502. No, Simon—
He's a mighty sorcerer!
Copy !req
503. He's a descendant
of Elminster Aumar.
Copy !req
504. The only way to succeed in this
is to have confidence
that it can be done.
Copy !req
505. He doesn't. Yeah, I suppose that's fair.
Copy !req
506. Look, Simon may not have my wit
or Holga's strength,
Copy !req
507. but when it counts,
this young man delivers.
Copy !req
508. It's why I chose him. He's also the only sorcerer
you know.
Copy !req
509. Holga, not helpful.
Copy !req
510. What is it exactly
that you bring to this?
Copy !req
511. Me? I'm a planner. You know?
I make plans.
Copy !req
512. You've already made the plan,
so what value do you have now?
Copy !req
513. If, uh, the plan fails—
the existing plan—
I make a new plan.
Copy !req
514. So you make plans
that fail.
Copy !req
515. No. He also plays the lute.
Copy !req
516. Holga, not relevant.
Trust me, I'm indispensable.
Copy !req
517. Well,
Copy !req
518. none of the plans we've tried
to take down Forge have worked.
Copy !req
519. We dared to question
how he came to power,
Copy !req
520. so he declared us enemies.
Copy !req
521. Began destroying our homes
Copy !req
522. and executing our people.
Copy !req
523. If we don't stop Forge soon,
Copy !req
524. there'll be nothing left
to defend.
Copy !req
525. I'm not doing this
for the money.
Copy !req
526. I'm doing this for
the people who took me in
when no one else would.
Copy !req
527. So we'll keep
your share then.
Copy !req
528. I sense your impatience.
Copy !req
529. Szass Tam.
Copy !req
530. But you have always been
the disciple I rely on most.
Copy !req
531. Doff your cowl.
Copy !req
532. You needn't hide your sigils
from me.
Copy !req
533. I'd rather be flensed and flayed
Copy !req
534. than spend another hour
with Forge Fitzwilliam.
Copy !req
535. The man is insufferable.
Copy !req
536. But we never would have
come this far without
his "charm."
Copy !req
537. The living have befouled
this world long enough.
Copy !req
538. Take solace in knowing
that your work here
is nearly complete.
Copy !req
539. There you are!
Copy !req
540. With your hood off,
I notice.
Copy !req
541. Probably best
to keep that on.
Copy !req
542. You know,
you Red Wizards of Thay
Copy !req
543. are not as popular as you
should be outside Thay.
Copy !req
544. And, of course, you're about
to be considerably less popular.
Copy !req
545. But far, far be it from me
ever to tell you what to do.
Copy !req
546. Caldwell and Piradost
have arrived.
Copy !req
547. I was gonna give them—
Copy !req
548. Awful, isn't it? I really
have to do something about
these chairs.
Copy !req
549. They're, uh...
Copy !req
550. Now, I think you will find
that we have taken
every imaginable measure
Copy !req
551. to protect the assets
that you may— or may not—
Copy !req
552. choose to wager
during the High Sun Games.
Copy !req
553. We have new portcullises
on every wing of the castle.
Copy !req
554. If the alarm is raised,
Copy !req
555. nobody gets in or out.
Copy !req
556. And then there is...
Copy !req
557. the vault itself.
Copy !req
558. My chief adviser, Sofina,
can give you all the details.
Copy !req
559. It is protected by
the Arcane Seal of Mordenkainen.
Copy !req
560. Well, uh...
Copy !req
561. perhaps not
all the details, but, uh,
Copy !req
562. suffice to say it is
a seriously powerful spell.
Copy !req
563. Might I inquire,
what prompted you
to resume the games?
Copy !req
564. Lord Neverember
considered them
quite brutal.
Copy !req
565. Lord Neverember and I are
very different men.
Copy !req
566. For example, I prefer
to be up and about.
Copy !req
567. He prefers to be
in a vegetative state.
Copy !req
568. You are terrible.
Copy !req
569. I can be naughty. No, I—
Copy !req
570. The truth is that the games
bring the city together
like nothing else.
Copy !req
571. And it is not the role
of government to deny
the people what they crave.
Copy !req
572. Or to deny you rich bastards
the right to profit off them.
Copy !req
573. Now who wants refreshments?
Copy !req
574. Silence!
Copy !req
575. A Wild Shape is among us.
Copy !req
576. Hey!
Copy !req
577. Stop!
Copy !req
578. I can't grab her!
Copy !req
579. So she did become a deer.
Copy !req
580. Only at the very end.
Copy !req
581. Are you absolutely sure
about Sofina?I saw her markings.
Copy !req
582. No wonder I couldn't counter
her Time Stop.
Copy !req
583. Forge knew all along.
He's got my daughter in there
with a Red Wizard.
Copy !req
584. The vault is protected
by something called
"Morty Kamen's Arcane Seal."
Copy !req
585. Mordenkainen?
Copy !req
586. Yeah, that's it. Oh, pity.
Copy !req
587. What? If the vault has
Mordenkainen's Seal,
Copy !req
588. we're not getting in.
It's impenetrable.
Copy !req
589. Can't you just open it
with magic?
Copy !req
590. Okay, here we go.
Copy !req
591. I hate how everyone thinks
that you can solve
any problem with magic.
Copy !req
592. There are limits.
This isn't some bedtime story.
Copy !req
593. This is the real world.So there's no way to open it?
Copy !req
594. No, I mean, if I were one
of the world's most powerful
sorcerers, so, no.
Copy !req
595. Or if we had
the Helm of Disjunction.
Copy !req
596. The what?
Copy !req
597. It's a helmet that disables
all nearby enchantments.
Copy !req
598. But it doesn't matter.
The thing went missing
ages ago. We're done.
Copy !req
599. Huh? Come on.
Copy !req
600. What's the problem?
We can find that helmet.
Copy !req
601. Even if we did, I couldn't
use it without attuning to it,
which I'm terrible at.
Copy !req
602. You can do it.
I know you can.
Copy !req
603. You saying that
doesn't make it so. Yeah, but you saying it does.
Copy !req
604. But I can't. But you can.
Copy !req
605. But I won't. Just say it.
Copy !req
606. No! Fine.
Copy !req
607. Can we just keep this
between us?
Copy !req
608. I don't want to hurt
the group's morale. What morale?
Copy !req
609. Holga knows where the helmet is.You do?
Copy !req
610. My tribe fought
the Cult of the Dragon
over it at the Evermoors.
Copy !req
611. We could just ask them
where it went.
Copy !req
612. That battle was a century ago.
They're all dead.
Copy !req
613. So? Ask them with magic.
Copy !req
614. He just made a whole speech
how he can't fix everything
with magic.
Copy !req
615. Actually,
that is something I can do.
Copy !req
616. You can bring back
the dead?
Copy !req
617. I can't, uh, bring them back,
Copy !req
618. but I have this token
that lets me ask corpses
some questions,
Copy !req
619. and then they go back
to being dead.
Copy !req
620. Yuck. Yeah, it's fairly horrible.
Copy !req
621. It's fairly wonderful.
Copy !req
622. We're off to the Evermoors.
Thank you, Simon,
for the drinks.
Copy !req
623. Oh, what? No—
Copy !req
624. Just pay it with magic.
Copy !req
625. The Wild Shape
must be in league with
Forge's former partners.
Copy !req
626. Perhaps Forge is
working against us?
Copy !req
627. As long as he profits,
Copy !req
628. he will not interfere
with Szass Tam's conquest.
Copy !req
629. I will find these thieves.
Copy !req
630. Before you go,
Copy !req
631. the men behind us
allowed them to escape.
Copy !req
632. Understood.
Copy !req
633. He's a Thayan!
Copy !req
634. Hey, Ed.
Copy !req
635. Huh? Look where we are.
Copy !req
636. Marlamin? Really?
Copy !req
637. Why would you do that
to yourself?
Copy !req
638. I'm just gonna pick up
some of my things.
Copy !req
639. He painted the shutters.
Copy !req
640. Pretty.
Copy !req
641. Holga!
Copy !req
642. Hello, Marlamin.
Copy !req
643. - That's Marlamin?
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
644. We were all a little surprised
the first time we met him.
Copy !req
645. I thought your sentence
was longer.
Copy !req
646. I busted out of there.
Copy !req
647. Same old Holga.
Copy !req
648. So what have you
been up to?
Copy !req
649. Oh.
Copy !req
650. The usual.
Copy !req
651. I've got my garden.
I'm working on my book.
Copy !req
652. I see you still have
that walking stick
I gave you.
Copy !req
653. Yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
654. Well, you can take it with you
if you want.
Copy !req
655. Gwinn's not much for rambling. Gwinn?
Copy !req
656. You home, darling? In here.
Copy !req
657. Oh! Squashed a pack
of bullywugs down at the—
Copy !req
658. Oh. Hello.
Copy !req
659. Who's this, then? Oh, Gwinn, this is Holga.
Copy !req
660. Oh.
Copy !req
661. Heard a lot about you.
Copy !req
662. I'd shake your hand,
but, uh...
Copy !req
663. Pleasure.
Copy !req
664. How long you in town for?
Copy !req
665. Um, just passing through.
Copy !req
666. Gonna talk to some corpses
south of Nesmé.
Copy !req
667. Oh. Great, yeah.
Copy !req
668. Gonna get washed up for supper.
What we having?
Copy !req
669. I cured a goose
and I gathered
some pickleberries.
Copy !req
670. Mmm.
Copy !req
671. Nice meeting you, Holga. Yeah.
Copy !req
672. So how long have you two—Going on a year.
Copy !req
673. Does she make you happy?
Copy !req
674. Happier than I did?
Copy !req
675. Well, I'll put it this way:
She makes her living honestly.
Copy !req
676. She doesn't
drink herself silly.
Copy !req
677. And she doesn't make me weep
in the small hours,
Copy !req
678. wondering where she is.
Copy !req
679. I was in pain.
Copy !req
680. I was banished
from my damn tribe
to be with you.
Copy !req
681. And I tried to build us a home
so you could forget that.
Copy !req
682. But you never could.
Copy !req
683. Gwinn seems lovely.
Copy !req
684. You deserve that.
Copy !req
685. Thank you.
Copy !req
686. You know, when you left,
I lost my family.
Copy !req
687. I've been fortunate enough
to find another.
Copy !req
688. And I wish nothing less
than that for you.
Copy !req
689. My sweet, old Ho-Ho.
Copy !req
690. We're gonna take down Forge.
Copy !req
691. I'm gonna show Marlamin
and the Elk tribe
they were fools to let me go.
Copy !req
692. So many of my kin gave
their lives in battle here.
Copy !req
693. I'd always imagined
I'd be buried in
sacred ground like this.
Copy !req
694. Yeah.
Copy !req
695. Anyone got a shovel?
Copy !req
696. Okay, Simon,
how does this work?
Copy !req
697. I read the incantation
on this cleric's token.
Copy !req
698. Should be here somewhere.
Copy !req
699. Here!
Copy !req
700. All right. Once the dead man
is revived, we can ask him
five questions,
Copy !req
701. at which point
he will die again,
never to be re-revived.
Copy !req
702. Why five questions?
Copy !req
703. I don't know,
that's just how it works. Seems arbitrary.
Copy !req
704. Can we get on with this, please? Right, yes.
Copy !req
705. Delightful.
Copy !req
706. Maybe I'm not saying it right.
Copy !req
707. I wasn't scared,
merely startled.
Copy !req
708. Here we go.
Copy !req
709. Were you killed in
the Battle of the Evermoors?
Copy !req
710. Yes. Great!
Copy !req
711. I mean, not for you.
Sorry for your loss.
Copy !req
712. Four more questions, right?
Copy !req
713. Yes.
Copy !req
714. No. No, no,
that wasn't for you.
Copy !req
715. Did that count
as a question?
Copy !req
716. - Yes.
- Damn it.
Copy !req
717. Only answer when
I talk to you, okay?
Copy !req
718. Yes. Why did you say "okay?"
at the end of that?
Copy !req
719. I didn't.
Copy !req
720. Fantastic. Where's the shovel?
Copy !req
721. Toke Horgath.
Copy !req
722. During the battle, did you see
the Helmet of Disjunction?
Copy !req
723. It was in possession
of my chief,
Stanhard Grimwulf.
Copy !req
724. Okay, good.
Copy !req
725. And what did
Stanhard Grimwulf do with it?
Copy !req
726. As the cultists
breached the ridge,
we knew we outnumbered them.
Copy !req
727. But our advantage meant nothing
against the dragon Rakor.
Copy !req
728. Horgath!
Copy !req
729. Horgath!
Copy !req
730. Take this and run.
Copy !req
731. Keep it from Rakor
at all costs!
Copy !req
732. Understood, sir.
Don't worry.
Copy !req
733. That's the last thing
I remember.
Copy !req
734. Oh. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
735. Thanks for your help.
Copy !req
736. Let's go look
for Stanhard Grimwulf's grave.
Copy !req
737. Hang on! Hang on! Hmm?
Copy !req
738. Aren't you going to ask him
the last three questions?
Copy !req
739. Ask him what?
He already told us
everything he knows.
Copy !req
740. Well, you can't just
leave him like that.
Look at the poor bloke.
Copy !req
741. Oh, fine.
Copy !req
742. What's your favorite food?
Copy !req
743. Oats. No, barley!
Copy !req
744. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
745. Do you like cats?
Copy !req
746. Not really.
Copy !req
747. Okay.
Copy !req
748. What's two plus two?
Copy !req
749. I'm bad at math.
Copy !req
750. Don't you feel better? No.
Copy !req
751. Oftentimes,
Copy !req
752. the most onerous decision
a leader can take
Copy !req
753. is when to retreat.
Copy !req
754. I issued the order.
Copy !req
755. I commanded my battle lord
to deliver the helmet
Copy !req
756. to our swiftest rider,
Ven Salafin.
Copy !req
757. If we can just make it
over the ridge, we can—
Copy !req
758. Not again.
Copy !req
759. It was the morning
of the battle.
Copy !req
760. As I stepped out my bath,
my foot slipped on the stone.
Copy !req
761. And then you went into
the battle?
Copy !req
762. No. I died. From the fall.
Copy !req
763. But Stanhard Grimwulf said
he gave the helmet
to Ven Salafin.
Copy !req
764. That's you, isn't it?
Copy !req
765. I'm Sven Salafin.
Ven's my brother.
Copy !req
766. This is a nightmare.
Copy !req
767. Is Ven all right?
Copy !req
768. I was wounded
and had lost my horse
Copy !req
769. as I escaped
the field of battle.
Copy !req
770. I didn't care about myself.
Copy !req
771. I just needed
to keep the helmet safe.
Copy !req
772. It was a Thayan,
who bore the mark of Szass Tam.
Copy !req
773. I waited for the killing blow.
Copy !req
774. But it never came.
Copy !req
775. He had a kind way.
Copy !req
776. He told me
his name was Xenk Yendar.
Copy !req
777. He had fled Szass Tam
and now lived in exile.
Copy !req
778. As I died, he promised
to keep the helmet safe.
Copy !req
779. And for some reason,
I believed him.
Copy !req
780. You're joking.
A "kind" Thayan?
Copy !req
781. I speak truth.
Copy !req
782. You speak horseshit.
Copy !req
783. That Thayan lied
and you died for nothing.
Copy !req
784. The helmet's a dead end.
We'll have to find
another way into the vault.
Copy !req
785. No, I've heard of Xenk.
Copy !req
786. He's a paladin.
He helped the Enclave
defeat the Clerics of Talos.
Copy !req
787. I know the name as well.
Copy !req
788. My uncle said Xenk
fended off a Beholder
Copy !req
789. using only a sharpened gourd.
Copy !req
790. A sharpened gourd? Something sharp.
Copy !req
791. The Thayans are murderers.
End of story.
Copy !req
792. What?
Copy !req
793. I've heard of him, too.No.
Copy !req
794. He fought with my cousin
in the Anauroch.
He says he's a good man.
Copy !req
795. Well, you can all
go find this lovely Xenk
and braid each other's hair.
Copy !req
796. I'll find another way.
Copy !req
797. What's his problem? He's got a history
with the Thayans.
Copy !req
798. I know how you're feeling.
But we're running out of time.
Copy !req
799. I'd be betraying Zia.
Copy !req
800. No, you wouldn't.
You'd be doing it
to save her and Kira.
Copy !req
801. Look, if Xenk turns out
to be a prick,
Copy !req
802. I'll split him
right down the middle.
Copy !req
803. That's very sweet. What have we got to lose?
Copy !req
804. Anyone know where
stupid Xenk is?
Copy !req
805. Last I heard, he was
working with the Harpers
in Mornbryn's Shield.
Copy !req
806. Great! Harpers.
Copy !req
807. What's his problem
with Harpers?
Copy !req
808. He's got a history
with them too.
Copy !req
809. All right, let's go.
Copy !req
810. Excuse me?
Copy !req
811. I'm still alive.
Copy !req
812. Right. Um...
Copy !req
813. What's your favorite book?
Copy !req
814. Mmm, hard to pick just one.
Copy !req
815. Fifth question, right? Yep.
Copy !req
816. Good.In terms of historical works,
Copy !req
817. I'd say The Fanged Tome
of Lykanthus Szar.
Copy !req
818. That was only
the fourth question.
Copy !req
819. Hello?
Copy !req
820. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
821. Heave! Heave!
Copy !req
822. Come on,
we need more! Come on!
Copy !req
823. It's alive!
Copy !req
824. Thank you!
Copy !req
825. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
826. He's interesting.I've seen more interesting.
Copy !req
827. Ed, go talk to him.You go talk to him.
Copy !req
828. You know,
I've pulled cats out of fish.
Copy !req
829. Xenk, is it?
Copy !req
830. That is a query
I prefer not to answer
Copy !req
831. without knowing
to whom I am speaking.
Copy !req
832. I'm Holga Kilgore.
Copy !req
833. This is Simon, Edgin
and Doric back there.
Copy !req
834. And what brings you
to Mornbryn's Shield? You do.
Copy !req
835. We're trying to find
the Helmet of Dysfunction.
Copy !req
836. Disjunction.
Copy !req
837. Many lives were lost
in defense of that helm.
Copy !req
838. To speak of it would be
to diminish their sacrifice.
Copy !req
839. Janklee.
Copy !req
840. Jankleeto you as well,
good sir.
Copy !req
841. You're known as a man
of honor and integrity,
Copy !req
842. and I can assure you,
our reasons for wanting
the helmet are entirely noble.
Copy !req
843. Yep.
We're gonna rob someone.
Copy !req
844. Holga!
Copy !req
845. Not just anyone.
Forge Fitzwilliam.
Copy !req
846. And the Red Wizard of Thay
he's partnered with.
Copy !req
847. Come with me.
Copy !req
848. What is this place?
Copy !req
849. A Harper sanctuary.
Copy !req
850. But surely your friend Edgin
already knew that.
Copy !req
851. How'd you know
I was a Harper?
Copy !req
852. You may have forsworn your oath,
Copy !req
853. but your oath
hasn't forsworn you.
Copy !req
854. Just because
that sentence is symmetrical
doesn't make it not nonsense.
Copy !req
855. Why do you wish
to rob Fitzwilliam?
Copy !req
856. He stole Edgin's daughter
and a great deal of treasure
from us.
Copy !req
857. Also a Tablet of Reawakening.
Copy !req
858. He doesn't need to know
all that.
Copy !req
859. I was just...
Copy !req
860. In other words,
Forge is a real son of a bitch.
Copy !req
861. So you blame his mother
for his corruption.
Copy !req
862. What?
Copy !req
863. No, it's an expression.
Copy !req
864. I see.
Copy !req
865. I do not traffic
in colloquialisms.
Copy !req
866. You're not a lot of fun,
are you?
Copy !req
867. If Fitzwilliam
is truly allied
with a Red Wizard,
Copy !req
868. their intentions must go
beyond the mere political.
Copy !req
869. Over a century ago,
the necromancer Szass Tam
Copy !req
870. was one of eight zulkirs
who ruled the nation of Thay.
Copy !req
871. Great, a history lesson.
Copy !req
872. But Tam's hunger for power
was absolute.
Copy !req
873. On the eve of the solstice,
Copy !req
874. residents of the capital
gathered for a celebration.
Copy !req
875. Unbeknownst to them,
or his fellow rulers,
Copy !req
876. Tam had a plan of his own:
Copy !req
877. to stage an unholy coup.
Copy !req
878. He unleashed
the Beckoning Death,
Copy !req
879. a spell that would consume
the souls
of all who beheld it,
Copy !req
880. enslaving them to his will.
Copy !req
881. With the aid
of his Red Wizards,
Copy !req
882. Szass Tam created an army
of the undead,
Copy !req
883. allowing him to conquer
the entire nation.
Copy !req
884. Szass's power extends no further
than the borders of Thay.
Copy !req
885. I suspect he and his Red Wizards
will not be content
Copy !req
886. until they have infected
the whole of Faerûn
with their maleficence.
Copy !req
887. You done?
Because we already know
that Red Wizards are bad.
Copy !req
888. And so does Forge.
Copy !req
889. The question remains,
if they helped him
to take power,
Copy !req
890. what do they stand to gain?
Copy !req
891. Sounds like we have
a common enemy.
Copy !req
892. You give us that helmet,
and we take Forge down.
Copy !req
893. No one stays Lord
without a fortune
to back him up.
Copy !req
894. And the Red Wizards
lose their puppet.
Copy !req
895. What will become
of the wealth you burgle?
Copy !req
896. What does that matter?
Copy !req
897. I will not be complicit
in the illicit use
of ill-gotten booty.
Copy !req
898. Uh... Fine. We'll divide it
amongst the townspeople.
Copy !req
899. Swear to it. What?
Copy !req
900. Place your hand
on this Harper's Seal
Copy !req
901. and swear that you will indeed
distribute all the wealth
you take
Copy !req
902. amongst the people
of Neverwinter.
Copy !req
903. Sure, fine.
Copy !req
904. Go on, Ed.
Copy !req
905. Promise you'll give
Forge's money to the people.
Copy !req
906. Promise I'll...
Copy !req
907. give Forge's money
to the people of Neverwinter.
Copy !req
908. Keep this.
Copy !req
909. You may not yet
believe your words, but I do.
Copy !req
910. Yeah. Good for you.
Simon, hold onto this.
Copy !req
911. Now, where's the helmet?
Copy !req
912. In the bowels of the Underdark. The Underdark?
Copy !req
913. Weren't you trying
to keep it safe?
Why would you put it down there?
Copy !req
914. Because it is the last place
that anyone
who values their life would go.
Copy !req
915. Sounds lovely. Quite the opposite.
Copy !req
916. I-I know. I was being ironic.
Copy !req
917. I find irony is a blade
that cuts he who wields it
most especially.
Copy !req
918. Yeah?
Is that what you find, Xenk?
Copy !req
919. There is an entrance east
of the Sword Mountains
Copy !req
920. in the Kryptgarden Forest,
Copy !req
921. from which we may descend
to the ruins of Dolblunde.
Copy !req
922. If I may be so bold,
what caused you
to renounce the Harpers?
Copy !req
923. Being a Harper
got my wife killed.
Copy !req
924. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
925. Did her assailants find justice?
Copy !req
926. The Thayans, you mean?
Copy !req
927. No.
Copy !req
928. The Thayans
are not all malevolent.
Copy !req
929. I was a boy when Szass Tam
seized control of Thay.
Copy !req
930. I saw firsthand
the horrors of the spell.
Copy !req
931. Honorable men
turned to monsters.
Copy !req
932. Minds wiped clean in moments.
Copy !req
933. Parents
turning on their own child.
Copy !req
934. I escaped, alive,
Copy !req
935. but forever changed.
Copy !req
936. You and I have both lost
a part of ourselves.
Copy !req
937. All that matters
is what we do
with what remains.
Copy !req
938. I told you
what I'm gonna do.
Copy !req
939. I'm gonna break into
Castle Never
and get my family back.
Copy !req
940. And the tablet?
Copy !req
941. You plan to resurrect
your wife. Yeah.
Copy !req
942. Very well.
Copy !req
943. I'd only ask that
you consider that this plane we
call "life" is but one of many.
Copy !req
944. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
945. To drag your lady-love
back to her old life
Copy !req
946. is to deprive her
of her new one.
Copy !req
947. Can someone else
ride next to this guy?
Copy !req
948. Follow me to the orifice.
Copy !req
949. The orifice?
Copy !req
950. The Underdark
has many entrances.
Copy !req
951. This is one of
the less conspicuous.
Copy !req
952. I'll go last.
Copy !req
953. It's a day's trek.
I've chosen a path
to avoid the populace.
Copy !req
954. Stay close
and quiet.
Copy !req
955. Whatever you've heard
of this place is merely
a fraction of its true danger.
Copy !req
956. Should the way
become too dim,
Copy !req
957. you may take my hand,
and I will lead you.
Copy !req
958. I'll tell you right now,
I'm not taking his hand.
Copy !req
959. Keep your guard up.
I don't trust this guy.
Copy !req
960. Even though
he's helping us?
Copy !req
961. Ah, he's got something
up his sleeve.
Copy !req
962. The only thing up my sleeve
is my arm.
Copy !req
963. How could he hear that?I hear that as well.
Copy !req
964. I hate you.
Copy !req
965. The path to the ruins
is just here.
Copy !req
966. Keep still!
Copy !req
967. Rochnon.
Copy !req
968. Intellect devourers.
Small but formidable.
Copy !req
969. They stun their targets
and consume the brain,
taking control of the body.
Copy !req
970. What do we do?Make no sound.
Copy !req
971. They're drawn to mental energy.
Copy !req
972. The higher the intelligence
of the prey, the more likely
they are to strike.
Copy !req
973. Well, that's a little hurtful.
Copy !req
974. There it is.
The Hanging City of Dolblunde.
Copy !req
975. The helmet lies on the far side
of this chasm.
Copy !req
976. But be warned,
the bridge is protected
by an ancient Gnomish trap.
Copy !req
977. There is a precise formula
we must follow so as not to
trigger the mechanism.
Copy !req
978. What's the formula? It's quite simple.
Copy !req
979. Starting from the center,
use odd-numbered blocks only,
Copy !req
980. moving forward with each step,
except for every fifth step,
Copy !req
981. which must be a lateral move.
Copy !req
982. Left or right, it matters not,
Copy !req
983. so long as the leader
and the laggard
remain equidistant.
Copy !req
984. After which, proceed.
Again, odd-numbered blocks only.
Copy !req
985. However, at the midpoint
we switch
to even-numbered blocks.
Copy !req
986. Same pattern,
except now a lateral move
after the fourth step,
Copy !req
987. until we reach the three—
Copy !req
988. I—
Copy !req
989. I may have...
Copy !req
990. put my foot
on the bridge.
Copy !req
991. Didn't realize that's where
it technically started.
Copy !req
992. So... sorry.
Copy !req
993. It's not very
structurally sound.
Copy !req
994. Can't you just magic us across?
Copy !req
995. It's too far for telekinesis.
Copy !req
996. I've got some rope in my bag.
Copy !req
997. I could tie it to the axe.
Copy !req
998. Toss it across
so it sticks to the rock.
Copy !req
999. You know rocks are hard, right? Shut up.
Copy !req
1000. Where did you get that?
Copy !req
1001. What,
Marlamin's walking stick?
Copy !req
1002. I swiped it from a wizard
over in the Greypeaks.
Copy !req
1003. That's not a walking stick.
Copy !req
1004. It's a Hither-Thither staff.
Copy !req
1005. A what? Should have a range
of around 500 yards.
Copy !req
1006. Watch.
Copy !req
1007. Hither.
Copy !req
1008. Thither.
Copy !req
1009. It works!
Copy !req
1010. See?
Copy !req
1011. Didn't even need the bridge!
Copy !req
1012. I did good.
Copy !req
1013. Good save.
Copy !req
1014. This I give you now,
trusting that you will
protect it with your very life.
Copy !req
1015. I will.
Copy !req
1016. Hold this.
Copy !req
1017. There is evil here.
Copy !req
1018. Are those...
Copy !req
1019. Thayan assassins.
Copy !req
1020. You look older, Yendar.
Copy !req
1021. Must be all that
foul mortal blood.
Copy !req
1022. And you, Dralas,
look just as loathsome
as the last time we met.
Copy !req
1023. Then I'll see to it
we don't meet again.
Copy !req
1024. Leave them to me.
Copy !req
1025. I'm glad he's on our side.
Copy !req
1026. We must flee.
Copy !req
1027. Why? You killed them all.
Copy !req
1028. "Tis no simple feat
to kill that
which is already dead.
Copy !req
1029. Ready for
the next bout, Yendar?
Copy !req
1030. Quickly!
Copy !req
1031. That's one pudgy dragon.
Copy !req
1032. It's Themberchaud.
He must have found a new den.
Copy !req
1033. Did he eat the last one?
Copy !req
1034. I got you!
Copy !req
1035. It's a dead end!
Copy !req
1036. Simon! Up there!
Copy !req
1037. Thanks for that.
Copy !req
1038. You'd have done
the same for me.
Copy !req
1039. Yeah.
Copy !req
1040. Bastard won't quit!
Copy !req
1041. Come on! He's stuck!
Copy !req
1042. So are we.
Copy !req
1043. We're gonna drown!
Copy !req
1044. Well, portal us out of here!I can only portal us
to what I can see!
Copy !req
1045. You want to go from
that wall to that wall?
Copy !req
1046. It's salt water.
Copy !req
1047. Simon, you remember that trick
you did in Triboar?
Copy !req
1048. Fresh-cut grass smell?
Copy !req
1049. No, the flame finger one.
Copy !req
1050. Yeah, why? Holga, hit him!
Copy !req
1051. You want to make him angrier?
Copy !req
1052. When I say so,
everybody goes underwater.
Copy !req
1053. And that'll be your cue, Simon,
all right?
Copy !req
1054. What are you looking at?
Copy !req
1055. A Harper shaking off
his slumber.
Copy !req
1056. Go, Holga!
Copy !req
1057. Again!
Copy !req
1058. Now!
Copy !req
1059. This is where I leave you.
Copy !req
1060. I wish you every success
on your journey.
Copy !req
1061. You're not coming? Would that I could.
Copy !req
1062. But this is your quest.
Copy !req
1063. I have given you the tools.
You must utilize them.
Copy !req
1064. Can't you utilize them for us?
Copy !req
1065. Because you're much better
at fighting and strategy and...
Copy !req
1066. Pretty much everything
but talking.
Copy !req
1067. Talking to you
isn't great.
Copy !req
1068. Mmm.
Copy !req
1069. In those instances where
faith wanes and doubt waxes,
Copy !req
1070. I recall
the Tenets of the Ancients...
Copy !req
1071. Okay. See you later.
Copy !req
1072. There he goes.
Copy !req
1073. Just wandering off.
Copy !req
1074. Walks in such a straight line.
Copy !req
1075. Uh-oh. Wait a minute.
He's coming up on a rock.
Copy !req
1076. Is he gonna go around?
Copy !req
1077. Nope.
Copy !req
1078. Right over the rock.
Copy !req
1079. What are you mumbling?
Copy !req
1080. I'm preparing to attune.
Copy !req
1081. If I can't connect with it,
it'll be useless.
Copy !req
1082. That's a lot of pressure,
given all we went through
to get it.
Copy !req
1083. Yeah, I realize that.
Copy !req
1084. So our entire fate
rests on you.
Copy !req
1085. Come on.
Copy !req
1086. There he is,
the great Simon Aumar.
Copy !req
1087. Sorcerer descended
from wizarding blood.
Copy !req
1088. Who are you?
Copy !req
1089. Don't you know me?
Copy !req
1090. My name is Aumar too.
Copy !req
1091. You're my
great-great grandfather.
Copy !req
1092. That's quite a helm.
Copy !req
1093. What makes you think
you're worthy of it?
Copy !req
1094. I believe in myself?
Copy !req
1095. You're asking me?
Copy !req
1096. No, I'm— I'm sure.
Copy !req
1097. I'm a great sorcerer.
Copy !req
1098. Are you now?
Copy !req
1099. Funny thing about magic.
Copy !req
1100. It chooses who may wield it.
Copy !req
1101. And it does not
suffer fools.
Copy !req
1102. Why are you telling me this?
Copy !req
1103. I think you know, Simon.
Copy !req
1104. Did you attune with it?
Copy !req
1105. You okay?
Copy !req
1106. I got you.
Copy !req
1107. What happened?
Copy !req
1108. I, uh...
Copy !req
1109. - I spoke to someone.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
1110. My great-great grandfather.
He was...
Copy !req
1111. unhelpful.
Copy !req
1112. You spoke to him?
Copy !req
1113. From here, it looked like
the helmet flew off
the second you put it on.
Copy !req
1114. Well, time moves
differently there.
Copy !req
1115. Okay,
I'll try a different approach.
Copy !req
1116. Great. New approach. Try it.
Copy !req
1117. You got this.
You got this.
Copy !req
1118. You're getting better.
You didn't fly as far.
Copy !req
1119. Stick with it.
Copy !req
1120. We have six hours till
we leave for Neverwinter.
Copy !req
1121. You fail, I never
get my family back.
Copy !req
1122. Brilliant.
Copy !req
1123. I've never seen
a bigger coward.
Copy !req
1124. Coward?
You're under here, too.
Copy !req
1125. Fine. I'll handle it.
Copy !req
1126. No, no, no.
Copy !req
1127. I've got this.
Copy !req
1128. And you want
to be a Harper.
Copy !req
1129. Quiet!
Copy !req
1130. Oh, God. Damn.
Copy !req
1131. There it is.
Copy !req
1132. Stop trying to capture it.
Copy !req
1133. You just have to let it go.
Copy !req
1134. Ed!
Copy !req
1135. Ed! We've got a problem.
Copy !req
1136. I can't do it.
Copy !req
1137. - The helmet?
- I've been at it for hours!
Copy !req
1138. I can't get past
the old bastard!
Copy !req
1139. I said I couldn't attune.
Now I'm the prat!
Copy !req
1140. What's the racket?
Copy !req
1141. He's having
a little trouble with the helm.
Copy !req
1142. Come on, Simon,
just do it.
Copy !req
1143. Oh. Yeah, okay. Yeah.
Thanks, Holga. I'll just do it.
Copy !req
1144. This is exactly what I told you
would happen back at the tavern,
Copy !req
1145. but you wouldn't listen. What do you mean, you told him?
Copy !req
1146. He said to keep it
between us for morale.
Copy !req
1147. I—Do you know why?
Copy !req
1148. Because he is the most pigheaded
person I've ever known!
Copy !req
1149. You talk us into doing things
you know won't work,
Copy !req
1150. and then you blame us
when it goes pear-shaped!
Copy !req
1151. If you can't attune,
we'll figure out a Plan B.
Copy !req
1152. Plan B?
We dug up my family.
Copy !req
1153. We went to the Underdark
for that helmet.
Copy !req
1154. And you knew the whole time
that he couldn't use it?
Copy !req
1155. You humans.
You just can't help but lie.
Copy !req
1156. I didn't lie.
I really thought
Simon could do it.
Copy !req
1157. Guys, look.
We got a couple hours
till the games begin.
Copy !req
1158. This is what we do.
We pivot.
Copy !req
1159. Instead of dwelling on
what went wrong
and who lied to whom,
Copy !req
1160. let's put our heads together
and figure out a plan!
Copy !req
1161. I'm gonna figure out
my way home.
Copy !req
1162. I can't believe I put
my faith in any of you.
Copy !req
1163. Yeah, I'm going too.
Sorry about Kira.
Copy !req
1164. We'll find another way
to get her. Just not today.
Copy !req
1165. It has to be today. We're not
done until my daughter's safe.
Copy !req
1166. Aren't you sick of failing?
Copy !req
1167. No! That's the whole point!
Copy !req
1168. We must never stop failing,
because the minute we do,
we've failed.
Copy !req
1169. Huh? Look,
Copy !req
1170. none of us here can say
our lives have gone
the way we had hoped for.
Copy !req
1171. Right?
Copy !req
1172. Holga.
Copy !req
1173. You left your tribe
to be with a man
Copy !req
1174. who left you because you were
so upset about leaving
your tribe.
Copy !req
1175. And if you quit now,
that's in stone!
Copy !req
1176. Same with you, Simon.
Copy !req
1177. You're a petty thief
masquerading as
a pettier sorcerer.
Copy !req
1178. You gonna go back to your show?It's better than dying.
Copy !req
1179. There's worse things than dying.
Copy !req
1180. And, Doric, you have integrity,
Copy !req
1181. and I am sure the last thing
you want to do is tell
the Emerald Enclave
Copy !req
1182. that you had a chance to save
them but you walked away.
Copy !req
1183. Hey, You're quick
to call us failures.
What about you, Ed?
Copy !req
1184. Me? I'm the champion
of failures!
Copy !req
1185. I lost everything
that ever mattered to me
and it was all my fault.
Copy !req
1186. You want to know who
really killed my wife?
Copy !req
1187. I did.
Copy !req
1188. I decided we deserved
a better life than
a Harper's oath would allow us.
Copy !req
1189. But I didn't know that
Red Wizards marked
their treasure.
Copy !req
1190. I led them right to our door.
Copy !req
1191. I didn't even have the good luck
to be home when they got there.
Copy !req
1192. I failed the Harpers,
I failed my family,
I failed all of you.
Copy !req
1193. Which is exactly why
I can't quit.
Copy !req
1194. So if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna go sit on this rock
Copy !req
1195. and make a plan.
Copy !req
1196. Move over.
Copy !req
1197. I'd sit too, but there's
no more room on the rock.
Copy !req
1198. How about this?
Copy !req
1199. We use the Hither-Thither Staff
to get into the vault.
Copy !req
1200. No, I've explained this.
Copy !req
1201. You can't Hither-Thither
into a room you can't see.
Copy !req
1202. I'm not saying that.
Copy !req
1203. I'm saying we put
the portal on something
Copy !req
1204. and then sneak that thing
into the vault.
Copy !req
1205. Mmm. The only thing going
in that vault is treasure.
Copy !req
1206. So we put the portal
on some treasure.
Copy !req
1207. Forge did say the richest men
in Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep
Copy !req
1208. are bringing loot to the city.
Copy !req
1209. They'll be traveling
the High Road.
Copy !req
1210. We could catch
one of their convoys! There'll be dozens of guards.
Copy !req
1211. Yeah, but the guards will
be guarding against people
Copy !req
1212. taking things
out of their wagon,
not putting them in!
Copy !req
1213. Holga, I could kiss you! Try it.
Copy !req
1214. Perfect.
Thank you so much.
Copy !req
1215. Oh!
Copy !req
1216. Oh!
Copy !req
1217. What a profound joy
it is to welcome you,
Copy !req
1218. the good people of Neverwinter,
to the resumption
Copy !req
1219. of the High Sun Games!
Copy !req
1220. I guarantee that you are in for
the most riveting spectacle
Copy !req
1221. on all the Sword Coast.
Copy !req
1222. The rules are very simple:
Copy !req
1223. Five harrowing challenges.
Five teams of champions.
Copy !req
1224. Whoever survives to reach
the Cage of Sanctuary
Copy !req
1225. moves on to the next stage.
Copy !req
1226. One thing: I do urge you,
Copy !req
1227. please do not leave the arena
till the close of the games,
Copy !req
1228. as there will be
a wonderful gift
Copy !req
1229. for each and every one of you!
Copy !req
1230. All right, take me down.
Copy !req
1231. This is absurdly high.
It's not what we discussed.
Copy !req
1232. Come on.
Gotta get it all done.
Copy !req
1233. Oh, no. What happened?
Copy !req
1234. It's facing the floor.
Why would they store it
that way?
Copy !req
1235. Damn it. Why does nothing
go our way?
Copy !req
1236. Let me try.
Maybe I can make a gap.
Copy !req
1237. The games have started.
Copy !req
1238. We're going to Plan C. Oh, bollocks. What's Plan C?
Copy !req
1239. Plan C is we go back
to Plan A.
Copy !req
1240. You're gonna attune
to the helmet.
Copy !req
1241. Why don't you
just call it Plan A?
Copy !req
1242. Plan A has a stink on it.You know damn well
I can't attune to the thing.
Copy !req
1243. That's not true!
You couldn't attune to it.
Copy !req
1244. Look at me.
Look at me! Huh?
Copy !req
1245. Do you remember that job
in Loudwater?
Copy !req
1246. You couldn't spider climb until
Jolym sicced his dog on you.
Copy !req
1247. And when we robbed
the spear of Aoth Fezim,
Copy !req
1248. your stoneskin spell failed
until the arrows were
inches away.
Copy !req
1249. Even in Triboar, you flipped
the gravity of a whole theater!
Copy !req
1250. You did?
Copy !req
1251. By accident.
It was wild magic,
Copy !req
1252. and that only happened
because they were gonna kill me. Exactly!
Copy !req
1253. Look, you are
at your strongest
Copy !req
1254. when you think
you're at your weakest.
Copy !req
1255. But you deliver.
Copy !req
1256. You're gonna get
into that vault, okay?
Copy !req
1257. Not because you can...
Copy !req
1258. but because you must.
Copy !req
1259. I'm gonna keep chipping away.
Copy !req
1260. If I can get a quarter inch,
I'll be able to squeeze through
as a worm.
Copy !req
1261. As a worm!
Copy !req
1262. As a worm, perfect.
Copy !req
1263. You see this? Now we have
a Plan D if Plan C fails.
Copy !req
1264. Isn't Plan D
just Plan B again?
Copy !req
1265. Plan B has a stink too.It all stinks.
Copy !req
1266. Here. Use this
to keep in contact.
Copy !req
1267. Well, um, this is a rock.
Copy !req
1268. Actually it is...
Copy !req
1269. a sending stone.
Copy !req
1270. But they'll only work
for an hour.
Copy !req
1271. Clever.
Copy !req
1272. So how we gonna
get in there?
Copy !req
1273. Easy.
We just create a distraction.
Copy !req
1274. Oh, I got a good feeling
about Plan C.
Copy !req
1275. What's your business here?
Copy !req
1276. What's going on?
You're messing up my song!
Copy !req
1277. My foot is stuck.
Copy !req
1278. Concentrate, Simon.
Copy !req
1279. What madness is this?
Copy !req
1280. I think they're starting
to get suspicious.
Copy !req
1281. Nine hells.
Copy !req
1282. There! Interlopers! Come on!
Copy !req
1283. Kira's room
should be up there.
Copy !req
1284. Find the vault
and we'll meet you. Go!
Copy !req
1285. Halt!
Copy !req
1286. - There she is!
- Hold your weapons!
Copy !req
1287. I'll hold them.
Find the vault.
Copy !req
1288. You sure I can't help?I'm certain.
Copy !req
1289. Mmm, you don't
have to be so certain. Get her!
Copy !req
1290. Now listen carefully.
Copy !req
1291. I'm with the Absolution Council.
They've just gone up.
Copy !req
1292. Go! Quickly!
Copy !req
1293. Open up!
Copy !req
1294. Just a minute!
Copy !req
1295. I don't mind that.
Copy !req
1296. Okay, you can do this.
Copy !req
1297. Relax. No rush.
Copy !req
1298. There he is!
Copy !req
1299. Look who's back.
The would-be sorcerer.
Copy !req
1300. I don't have time for this! Yet I have
all the time there is.
Copy !req
1301. You don't get it.
We're going to die
if I don't attune!
Copy !req
1302. So you die a fool.
It's better than to live as one.
Copy !req
1303. That's enough!
You don't know me.
Copy !req
1304. I know you're a stain
on your family name!
Copy !req
1305. To hell with my name!
Let me attune!
Copy !req
1306. Not while I live.You don't live!
Copy !req
1307. You had your time.
Now it's my turn.
Copy !req
1308. I won't allow it.
Copy !req
1309. I don't care!
Copy !req
1310. Sorry.
Copy !req
1311. Took you long enough.
Copy !req
1312. Simon!
Copy !req
1313. Simon, was that you?
Copy !req
1314. It was! I did it!
Copy !req
1315. Well done.
Copy !req
1316. I guess it was just me
holding me back.
Copy !req
1317. That's what I've been saying!
Copy !req
1318. I made it inside the vault.
Copy !req
1319. So did we.
Copy !req
1320. There's nothing here.
Copy !req
1321. What do you mean?
It's all here. Where are you?
Copy !req
1322. Where are you?
Copy !req
1323. I think I'm under the arena.
Copy !req
1324. Forge.
Copy !req
1325. This one here.
Copy !req
1326. Oh, that's not good.
Copy !req
1327. Simon! Doric! You there?
Copy !req
1328. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
1329. Kir!
Copy !req
1330. I came for you.
Copy !req
1331. We have to go.
Copy !req
1332. You left me.
Copy !req
1333. No. No, I know you think
I'm a liar and a bad father,
Copy !req
1334. but—
Copy !req
1335. I am a bad father.
Copy !req
1336. And I did leave you.
Copy !req
1337. And I wasn't trying
to bring your mom back.
Copy !req
1338. I was trying to...
Copy !req
1339. bring my wife back.
Copy !req
1340. Which if— maybe if you had
gotten a chance to know her
Copy !req
1341. and love her like I did,
you'd understand.
Copy !req
1342. But if you come with me now,
Copy !req
1343. you can have that chance.
Copy !req
1344. Hmm.
Copy !req
1345. You'd think you'd be
able to distinguish between
Copy !req
1346. your own daughter
and a 300-year-old wizard.
Copy !req
1347. Don't worry, Kira's safe.
Copy !req
1348. Unlike me, she had no idea
you were coming.
Copy !req
1349. I don't think she knows how
tenacious you've become. Huh?
Copy !req
1350. Look, Ed, um...
Copy !req
1351. I'm really sorry
about the way things
have worked out.
Copy !req
1352. But I think if you were
truly honest,
Copy !req
1353. you'd have to admit I can
give Kira a better life.
Copy !req
1354. I hope you can
take comfort in knowing
Copy !req
1355. that she's with the father
she deserves, yeah?
Copy !req
1356. And now I'm in
a pickle because...
Copy !req
1357. I don't want
to see you die.
Copy !req
1358. Which is why
I'm gonna leave the room.
Copy !req
1359. What?
Copy !req
1360. If you're gonna kill us,
at least let us die
with dignity.
Copy !req
1361. How do you mean? Put us in the High Sun Games.
Copy !req
1362. Give us a fighting chance. That's not a chance.
Copy !req
1363. It's not a chance at all.
Copy !req
1364. I mean, even if you were
to somehow survive
the tournament,
Copy !req
1365. Sofina's gonna...
Copy !req
1366. It would be much, much better
for you to die here
than to go to the games.
Copy !req
1367. No. They defeated
your men and mine.
Copy !req
1368. Let them fight in the arena.
Copy !req
1369. They deserve that much.
Copy !req
1370. to the games?
Copy !req
1371. Oh. Yeah.
That was sort of a bad day.
Copy !req
1372. Oh.
Copy !req
1373. You might want
to go back to sleep.
Copy !req
1374. Are we...
Copy !req
1375. In the arena.
Copy !req
1376. This dummy talked Forge into
putting us in the games.
Copy !req
1377. Dummy? I saved our lives!
Copy !req
1378. And I got us right above where
Doric said the treasure was.
Copy !req
1379. Isn't it a little suspect
that Sofina would agree to this?
Copy !req
1380. Yeah, she's definitely
planned something.
Copy !req
1381. Where under the arena
were you?
Copy !req
1382. Do you remember?
Copy !req
1383. Not sure.
Copy !req
1384. There was a dock down there.
Copy !req
1385. I saw guards loading
everything onto a ship.
Copy !req
1386. A ship. Forge wasn't hiding
the loot from us.
Copy !req
1387. He was stealing it
for himself.
Copy !req
1388. He never cared about being Lord.
That just gave him access
to the vault.
Copy !req
1389. He must have brought back
the games so the take
would be bigger.
Copy !req
1390. What about Kira? He won't leave her behind.
We have to get to that boat.
Copy !req
1391. I don't understand.
If Forge is leaving, what does
Sofina get out of this?
Copy !req
1392. Maybe I can
get us out of here.
Copy !req
1393. Magic suppression cuff.
They put one on me too.
Copy !req
1394. And just when you were
getting good at it.
Copy !req
1395. So we just
go through the maze?
Copy !req
1396. I guess till
we reach the cage?
Copy !req
1397. Run!
Copy !req
1398. Find the cage!
Copy !req
1399. Follow me!
Copy !req
1400. Whoa, whoa!
Copy !req
1401. Thanks.
Copy !req
1402. - Where are the others?
- Come on, this way.
Copy !req
1403. Have you tried
Displacer Beast meat?
Copy !req
1404. No. It's too gamey for me.
Copy !req
1405. The ship is ready, sir.
Copy !req
1406. It seems my ship
is ready, so...
Copy !req
1407. Kira and I will
be taking our leave.
Copy !req
1408. I do hope that our collaboration
has been as gratifying for you
as it has for—
Copy !req
1409. Get out of my city.
Copy !req
1410. Right.
Copy !req
1411. Get out of the way!
Copy !req
1412. It's burning!
Copy !req
1413. Another minute,
I would have lost my hand.
Copy !req
1414. Yeah, but look what
you did lose.
Copy !req
1415. Come on.
Copy !req
1416. Doric? Doric!
Copy !req
1417. There must be a way
to get out of the arena.
Copy !req
1418. Come on! Come on!
Copy !req
1419. Yeah. Come on!
Copy !req
1420. No.
Copy !req
1421. No, this isn't the way out.
Copy !req
1422. Yes, it is. If we survive this, there'll be
another challenge and another
Copy !req
1423. until every last person
in that cage is dead.
Copy !req
1424. We have to find a work-around.
Copy !req
1425. I've got an idea. Follow me.
Copy !req
1426. No! Come back!
Copy !req
1427. Hey! What's your idea?
Copy !req
1428. When we hear the gong,
we jump in.
Copy !req
1429. Into this thing?
Copy !req
1430. You want to end up
like that guy?
Copy !req
1431. We will only be inside
for a few seconds.
Copy !req
1432. Well, If we're all inside,
who's gonna pull us out?
Copy !req
1433. - I will, trust me.
- Always.
Copy !req
1434. Hold.
Copy !req
1435. Hold.
Copy !req
1436. Hold!
Copy !req
1437. Now!
Copy !req
1438. Damn it! That stings!
Copy !req
1439. We got to move.
Copy !req
1440. I've been here.
Copy !req
1441. Our gear.
Copy !req
1442. Simon. Try these
on your cuff.
Copy !req
1443. Come with me.
Copy !req
1444. Quite a second date,
yeah?
Copy !req
1445. - A trip?
- Yes.
Copy !req
1446. Something urgent has come up,
but if we leave now
we'll be safe.
Copy !req
1447. Safe from what?
Copy !req
1448. What is this? This is an ambush.
Copy !req
1449. On the boat you were gonna use
to escape from Neverwinter.
Copy !req
1450. Dad. Hi, honey.
Copy !req
1451. Hey, Forge, why don't you
tell her what this is?
Copy !req
1452. I don't know.It's the Tablet of Reawakening,
Kira.
Copy !req
1453. It's the reason why
I left you.
Copy !req
1454. Your dad's been
telling you the truth, Bug.
Copy !req
1455. It's Uncle Forge
who's been feeding you lies.
Copy !req
1456. It's rubbish.
It's just rubbish!
Copy !req
1457. Come with me, Kir.
Copy !req
1458. We'll go home,
bring back Mom.
Copy !req
1459. We can be a family again.
Copy !req
1460. You're not taking my money.
Copy !req
1461. Put down the tablet and get off
my ship, all of you.
Copy !req
1462. Now! Okay. Okay. Okay.
Copy !req
1463. What are you doing?
Copy !req
1464. It's all right.
Shush, my darling, be quiet.
Copy !req
1465. It's going down.
Just don't hurt her.
Copy !req
1466. See that, Kira?
Copy !req
1467. Your father knows me.
Copy !req
1468. He knows I'm prepared
to do terrible things
Copy !req
1469. to get what I want.
Copy !req
1470. Even to those I care about most.
Copy !req
1471. In the end, that's all
that separates the beggar—
Copy !req
1472. Nobody hurts my Bug.
Copy !req
1473. Simon, get us out of here!
Copy !req
1474. Sorry, Ed.
Copy !req
1475. Sorry, Forge!
Copy !req
1476. What's that one on about? Who knows?
Copy !req
1477. Twenty thousand
on the Gray Hands!
Copy !req
1478. I'm sorry I believed him.
Copy !req
1479. What? What are you
talking about?
Copy !req
1480. You have nothing
to apologize for.
Copy !req
1481. I should have done
so many things differently.
Copy !req
1482. I had a whole apology,
but I sort of gave it to Sofina.
Copy !req
1483. I love you, Kir.
Copy !req
1484. And nothing will ever
get in the way
of that again, okay?
Copy !req
1485. Promise.
Copy !req
1486. I love you too, Dad.
Copy !req
1487. It's good to have you back, kid.
Copy !req
1488. Do you know how much loot
is on this ship?
Copy !req
1489. I'm surprised
the boat can float.
Copy !req
1490. All right. So, we're gonna
need to lay low.
Copy !req
1491. What is that?
Copy !req
1492. It's the Beckoning Death.
Copy !req
1493. That's why
she needed Forge.
Copy !req
1494. The games brought the city
together for the spell.
Copy !req
1495. Szass Tam
is taking Neverwinter.
Copy !req
1496. Well, shit.
Copy !req
1497. So what do we do
when we get there?
Copy !req
1498. Working on it. Simon,
what did you say the range was
in that portal staff?
Copy !req
1499. A quarter mile. Why?
Copy !req
1500. I'm gonna keep that promise
I made to Xenk.
Copy !req
1501. Whatever that is,
stop it. Now!
Copy !req
1502. Look! She's Thayan!
Copy !req
1503. Please! Please stop!
Copy !req
1504. You there! Harbor master person. Are you seeing this?
Copy !req
1505. As Lord of Neverwinter,
I demand a ship and crew
Copy !req
1506. to chase down
five people who have—
Copy !req
1507. What is this? No!
Copy !req
1508. It's the gift
Forge promised!
Copy !req
1509. No! No! No!
Copy !req
1510. No, no, no! No! No!
Copy !req
1511. No!
Copy !req
1512. That's for you.
Enjoy that.
Copy !req
1513. All right.
Copy !req
1514. This isn't over until
we take her out.
Copy !req
1515. Whatever happens to us,
stay hidden.
Copy !req
1516. Use your pendant.
Copy !req
1517. Where do you think
she's gone?
Copy !req
1518. She missed.
Copy !req
1519. You all right?
Copy !req
1520. What do we do
when we get to her?
Copy !req
1521. I got this.
Copy !req
1522. You know not
the scope of my power!
Copy !req
1523. Enough!
Copy !req
1524. It's another Time Stop!
Copy !req
1525. Simon, can you counter it?I can't. She's still too strong!
Copy !req
1526. I'm so sorr—
Copy !req
1527. For too long
Copy !req
1528. I endured the arrogance
of Forge Fitzwilliam.
Copy !req
1529. The false charm.
Copy !req
1530. The quips.
Copy !req
1531. And just as I begin
to purge this place
Copy !req
1532. of its living filth,
you dare interpose.
Copy !req
1533. Now, as you die,
Copy !req
1534. rest assured
it will not be the end.
Copy !req
1535. For you will forever suffer.
Copy !req
1536. I'm sorry, your breath
just smells like... old clothes.
Copy !req
1537. It's bad.
Copy !req
1538. What is this?
Copy !req
1539. I countered your Time Stop.
I got better.
Copy !req
1540. We had to distract you
so Kira could slap on that cuff
Copy !req
1541. and so Doric could do this.
Copy !req
1542. I think you got her.
Copy !req
1543. I honestly didn't think
that plan was gonna work.
Copy !req
1544. You assured us it would.
Copy !req
1545. Hey, Holga!
Copy !req
1546. Did we get her? Holga?
Copy !req
1547. Yeah.
Yeah, we got her.
Copy !req
1548. Oh, that's... Oh, God.
Copy !req
1549. That's not a good spot, is it?
Copy !req
1550. No, it's not—
it's not bad.
Copy !req
1551. Here.
Copy !req
1552. Simon! Simon, help her.
Copy !req
1553. It's a Red Wizard's blade.
There's nothing I can do.
Copy !req
1554. Hey. Hey.
Copy !req
1555. We're gonna patch you up.
It's not gonna be a problem.
Copy !req
1556. Please don't go.
Copy !req
1557. Easy, Bug, easy. Please don't go.
Copy !req
1558. Don't mourn me.
Copy !req
1559. No, no, no. No final words.
Copy !req
1560. No final words.I'm proud of what I did here.
Copy !req
1561. I'm dying a hero.
Copy !req
1562. And you...
Copy !req
1563. You're a good man.
Copy !req
1564. A real Harper.
Copy !req
1565. Shut up. I'm a moron,
you know that.
Copy !req
1566. Promise me something.
Copy !req
1567. Yeah, anything.
Copy !req
1568. That you're gonna take
good care of our girl.
Copy !req
1569. She's the best thing
you ever did.
Copy !req
1570. I will.
Copy !req
1571. No.
Copy !req
1572. No!
Copy !req
1573. I need you.
Copy !req
1574. I need you.
Copy !req
1575. We can only use it once.
Copy !req
1576. I know.
Copy !req
1577. Holga Kilgore.
Copy !req
1578. Don't tell me
you wasted it on me.
Copy !req
1579. Why would you do that?
Copy !req
1580. Szass Tam won't
be happy about this.
Copy !req
1581. Well, if he comes after us,
we'll be ready.
Copy !req
1582. We?
Copy !req
1583. Oh, that's right.
You don't like humans,
do you?
Copy !req
1584. Some are okay.
Copy !req
1585. What about you?Hmm?
Copy !req
1586. Going back to the Harpers?
Be with your people?
Copy !req
1587. I'm with my people.
Copy !req
1588. So, uh,
Copy !req
1589. I know my last attempt
to court you was
quite bad.
Copy !req
1590. But I wonder if you'd consider
having another go at it?
Copy !req
1591. Yeah, all right. Yeah?
Copy !req
1592. Calm down. Right.
Copy !req
1593. Damn! Bloody chalice.
Copy !req
1594. Good evening.
Copy !req
1595. Of course, you know
what happened after that.
Copy !req
1596. With Sofina's magic expunged,
Copy !req
1597. Lord Neverember
finally came to.
Copy !req
1598. His first official act
was to award
Copy !req
1599. the saviors of Neverwinter
the Medal of Heroism.
Copy !req
1600. And to the Emerald Enclave,
Copy !req
1601. he granted formal protection
of their people and their land.
Copy !req
1602. One could argue that my actions,
reprehensible though they were,
Copy !req
1603. led to a virtual renaissance
for the city.
Copy !req
1604. And while I've only served
the first year of my sentence,
I have to say,
Copy !req
1605. it has been
Copy !req
1606. eye-opening.
Copy !req
1607. I have taken a look inside
Copy !req
1608. and I've asked myself,
Copy !req
1609. "What's going on in there?"
Copy !req
1610. And, you know, I realized
a lot of it goes back to my mum.
Copy !req
1611. She was a stern woman,
prone to fits of—
Copy !req
1612. Stop, stop!
We've heard enough.
Copy !req
1613. Pardon denied.
Copy !req
1614. This session
is adjourned.
Copy !req
1615. Jarnathan!
Copy !req
1616. No, no! I'm terribly sorry.
Copy !req
1617. I don't know what came over me,
I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
Copy !req
1618. Hello?
Copy !req
1619. Can somebody please
ask me another question?
Copy !req
1620. Anyone?
Copy !req
