Illicit Butthole Money (Chapter 7) · The Apocalypse Will Be Podcasted

0:00
Hello, and this is the Apocalypse Will Be Podcasted.
0:03
We are a married couple from Atlanta with boring
0:05
day jobs. We have been together 12 years, and
0:08
we usually create a lot of weird performance
0:10
art to entertain people. But we are trying our
0:13
hand at having a podcast because we have had
0:16
an obsession lately, and that obsession is Dungeon
0:20
Crawler Carl. This is a spoilers podcast, and
0:23
we will be discussing plot points from all seven
0:26
Dungeon Crawler Carl books. You should not start
0:30
this podcast until you have finished book seven.
0:33
We will not be discussing anything from Patreon
0:36
or the Pineapple Cabaret. There are spoilers
0:39
from this point forward. Be warned. Well, Nikki,
0:43
today we are going to talk about one of my favorite
0:45
topics, which is illicit butthole money. Those
0:48
are three words that I never expected to hear
0:51
or read following each other. Definitely not
0:54
something I ever thought I'd have a podcast talking
0:56
about. Absolutely. You know, there's just sometimes
0:59
words that independently, there's nothing super
1:03
special about them. Together they make magic.
1:07
Exactly. This chapter starts out reminding us
1:10
that the ceasefire remains in effect for 56 more
1:13
hours. Wow. So that means that all that box opening
1:16
happened in less than four hours. All of that,
1:19
everything that's happened between chapter one
1:22
and chapter seven, where we're at now, happens
1:25
in four hours, which. Really feels like we're
1:28
following along in real time, which is just cool.
1:30
I definitely would have thought more time would
1:33
pass, but they also keep highlighting how many
1:38
hours are left. And I think that's waving a bit
1:40
of a red flag around. Yeah, it's definitely alluding
1:43
to the ceasefire ending early, I would say. And
1:47
then we go into, you know, kind of what everyone's
1:51
doing. Everyone's super busy. They've got their
1:53
different plans going on. and most crawlers are
1:57
wanting to be in the princess posse, but things
2:01
are still just kind of bottlenecked because Carl,
2:04
Dona, the officers, and everyone still have to
2:06
physically make contact with all of the crawlers,
2:09
and that just takes time. It's time for everyone
2:12
to go on a walk. They're going to go on a walkabout.
2:15
So a couple of chapters ago, Carl was trying
2:18
to get Samantha to stay inside because she was
2:20
running around, causing chaos, trying to kill
2:23
Tish. Poor Tish. She doesn't deserve all this
2:26
ire. No, well, and Samantha also doesn't stay
2:29
inside like she was asked. She does not, and
2:32
it comes up again. Carl telling Samantha to stay
2:35
inside, and Samantha doesn't ever listen to anyone.
2:39
No, never. She does come through every now and
2:42
again. I mean, surprisingly often for how chaotic
2:45
she is. Yeah. It is funny that Tish never does
2:49
enter the story again. I would have liked to...
2:52
see some kind of head -to -head with Tish and
2:56
Samantha, I imagine that would have just been
2:58
a very entertaining scene. Correction, she hasn't
3:02
entered the story again yet. I can't imagine
3:04
that she's going to come back around on a later
3:07
floor at this point. Anything is possible, though.
3:10
Anything is possible. I just don't know if it
3:13
would make sense. Well, keeping in mind that,
3:17
you know, they said that they're trying to do
3:19
everything as cheaply as possible. The showrunners?
3:22
Yeah. And that they're reusing characters that
3:25
they would not usually reuse. This is true. I
3:28
do think it's possible that she could come back.
3:30
Who knows? Yeah, we'll see. Time will tell. Next
3:33
thing we've got, Katya is working on creating
3:37
some kind of conveyance for Tran. And basically,
3:42
we get to see that in a few chapters from now,
3:45
but it is kind of like Odette's crab -like body.
3:47
And then he has like a battle mode. where he
3:50
can have his entire body covered in armor, kind
3:52
of like how paws look. Pretty badass. So Donut
3:56
is talking to Carl while they're on their walkabout
3:59
that she's not sure if they should trust Florin.
4:02
I don't think that they shouldn't trust Florin,
4:05
but there's some... Yeah, I mean, I think that
4:08
his dedication to trying to figure out what's
4:12
going on with Lucy Amar and the children. to
4:16
me shows that he is deep down a good guy and
4:19
has good intentions and he's definitely never
4:22
done anything to make us mistrust him but trustworthy
4:26
and forthcoming are different things and I think
4:29
because Donut has no filter and she always just
4:33
throws out what she's thinking all the time it
4:36
makes her you know distrustful of people who
4:38
are a little bit more reserved like Lauren yeah
4:41
that makes sense and there's definitely a lot
4:45
of trauma and mystery in his past. And there
4:48
must be a very good reason why he doesn't want
4:52
to talk about it. And as we've mentioned multiple
4:55
times, I'm sure we're going to learn a lot about
4:58
that in the Florin graphic novel coming out in
5:02
however long. Yeah. So Carl says that they need
5:05
Florin because Imani is good at communicating
5:08
with people, but Florin is good at communicating
5:11
with soldiers. And those are different skills.
5:14
They absolutely are. And I think Imani does a
5:17
wonderful job, especially in the ramp up, of
5:20
kind of keeping people calm and collected. Well,
5:24
her buffs help. Right. And I will say that I
5:28
don't think the rest of this book works without
5:30
Florin. Straight up. No, and it doesn't. And
5:34
during the ramp up, they keep mentioning that
5:37
Florin is at the northern front fighting off
5:40
a lot of the bigger... forces from the Skull
5:43
Empire and some of the other larger factions
5:45
while the story centers around and shows us what's
5:48
happening on the southern front. But he's definitely
5:51
kicking ass and taking names over there. Well,
5:54
and I think it's so interesting that at the beginning
5:57
of the series, it was just Donut and Carl. And
6:01
now there are so many characters that are absolutely
6:05
essential to the plot. They are, and there's
6:08
so many that it's just not possible to show us
6:10
what's happening with every single person at
6:12
any given time, even if what they're off doing
6:14
is really critical to the overall plot of the
6:17
book. Well, and Donut and Carl certainly can't
6:19
fight an entire war by themselves. They were
6:21
going to try. They were going to do their best.
6:24
Absolutely. And after this is where we get into
6:28
the glory of Chapter 7. And just a quick note
6:34
that's really funny is that Much to Donut's utter
6:39
dismay, Mongo and Rin are absolutely best friends.
6:43
They love playing together. Rin climbs up on
6:46
top of Mongo and rides around on him. They don't
6:48
know how he's able to do that, and this is definitely,
6:50
I feel like, just some video game logic where
6:53
even though it doesn't really make sense as far
6:56
as physics go, it happens because it's cute.
6:59
I imagine that Mongo puts his head in and puts
7:02
his head down and Rin just rolls over it onto
7:05
his back. Makes sense. Instead of rolling into
7:07
his mouth, he rolls up his head and neck. Hey,
7:11
progress. Yeah, or maybe up his tail. That can
7:13
make sense, too. I don't know what kind of tails
7:15
velociraptors have, to be honest. Mongo's has
7:17
feathers, but I imagine he has some dexterity
7:21
with it that could help along with Rin getting
7:23
on his back. Maybe it's like a paddle ball. This
7:26
is a serious digression. I was going to say the
7:28
same thing. This is a serious digression. So,
7:31
getting back on track. Donut and Carl enter the
7:35
safe room and find Louie and Brittany waiting
7:38
for them. And Louie is in the process of zipping
7:41
up his leather jacket where Donut gets a little
7:46
peek of the shirt that she is wearing. Donut's
7:50
like, I'm sorry, what is that? Yeah, so it's
7:53
a Donut Holes shirt, which if you want to see
7:57
what this looks like, they actually do sell it
7:59
in Matt's official merch. So go check it out.
8:02
Yeah, it's an exact rendition of the shirt that
8:05
Louie is wearing. And it is described as a graphic
8:10
tee featuring a hand -drawn picture of a cat.
8:13
It is a caricature of a fat, fluffy cat's backside.
8:16
And the cat is turned around, looking over her
8:19
shoulder. The words donut holes in English spread
8:21
across the pots. But in the O in both donut and
8:24
holes were pink donuts. And then one of them
8:28
is centered just below the cat's tail with a
8:30
tiny little X. which would be a cartoon version
8:34
of the cat's butthole. We actually used to have
8:37
a shirt. I don't know if we still have it. I
8:38
haven't seen it in a while. It's really old and
8:40
kind of ratty. It's just a bunch of cats showing
8:42
off their buttholes. It's really cute. So Dona
8:46
is absolutely appalled here. And there's just
8:49
a lot of really great dialogue going back and
8:51
forth here. She calls it dairy airborne. Guerriere
8:54
porn. She says, oh my god, Carl, it's porn. This
8:57
is unauthorized Guerriere porn. The Donut Holes
9:00
are an unauthorized fan group and now they have
9:02
merch. Merch that exploits my backside. Carl,
9:05
do something. Yeah, and apparently nobody's going
9:09
to do something because she tries to get Carl
9:11
to do something about it. She tries to get Zev
9:14
to do something about it. And yeah, it's just
9:18
not really something that they can do anything
9:21
about. And the reason why is because This is
9:24
a magical item and it was given to Louie on the
9:29
Dungeon Crawler Sidekicks TV show. And apparently
9:33
everyone who has been asked to go on that show
9:36
receives an item that has a image of someone
9:41
else and is magical. So Brittany has underwear
9:45
that has Ellie on it that says stay frosty. Right.
9:48
I wanted to note here that. you know, Brittany
9:51
and Louie were on the sidekicks show. And my
9:54
guess is that they were selected to be on that
9:56
show under the impression or illusion that they
10:01
are sidekicks to Carl and Donut with Carl and
10:04
Donut being the top crawlers. And then they're
10:06
involved in their team and story arc. Yeah. So
10:09
Carl and Donut wouldn't go on there because they're
10:11
main characters. Right. Absolutely not. So Donut
10:15
says Katia went on that show and she doesn't
10:18
wear anything like that. Brittany and Louis looked
10:21
at each other, and we'll get into that much later.
10:24
Let me find out what Katya has. Sure do. I don't
10:28
remember right now, so I can't wait to learn
10:30
all about it again. It'll be a while. It's in
10:32
the very last chapter. So Donut keeps being very
10:35
upset about this, and she tells Carl, how would
10:40
you feel if someone was wearing a t -shirt with
10:42
your butthole on it? And Carl tells her, I don't
10:46
stick my butthole in everybody's face when they're
10:48
trying to sit down and eat. And Donut's like,
10:50
well, excuse me, I'm just trying to show affection.
10:52
I mean, really, come on. I mean, anyone who has
10:55
a cat knows that this is a thing. Yeah, cats
11:00
do tell you I love you by sticking their butthole
11:03
in your face, which, you know, is unfortunate
11:07
because they have this amazing place in between
11:09
their ears where giving them kisses are the best,
11:12
and cats don't like that. But they do like putting
11:16
their butthole in your face. Unfortunately. Yeah.
11:19
Absolutely. And this is where we learn that Donut
11:24
is still watching Snicks. Sounds like pretty
11:26
regularly. Which, regardless of what she says
11:30
next, I just find this very odd behavior that
11:34
she is regularly watching porn of herself, her
11:38
teammates, her teammates fucking each other.
11:41
Like, what the fuck? Yeah. Carl says that she
11:45
was talking about one with Donut, Samantha and
11:49
Louie. So not only is she watching them, but
11:51
she's talking about them to other people. Yeah.
11:54
And Donut says, you know what? That's different,
11:56
Carl. That's fan art and it's beautiful. And
11:58
I just don't know why she has this different
12:01
perspective. I mean, she does make the note that
12:03
that's just fan art. It's not for profit. And
12:06
she has a problem with this because it is for
12:07
profit. Well, I think she has a problem with
12:10
that because she's worried that she's not. getting
12:12
any of the profits. And basically what Zev says
12:17
is that they set the limits very high on merchandising
12:21
shares and that they don't expect anyone to ever
12:25
actually hit them. And they do expect some people
12:29
to get very popular. And Zev says, I don't think
12:32
anyone has ever gotten close and not even Remix
12:36
or Odette or Natumba. And she says, your stuff
12:40
sells great donut, but the limit is high. And
12:43
boy, do I wish I could talk about Patreon stuff
12:45
again. Yeah, if only we could. But it's against
12:49
the law, right? It's a law, I think, written
12:52
into the legal code of the United States Constitution.
12:55
The tale of illicit butthole money is coming
12:59
to a close. And Carl says that they need to go
13:02
and find Ferdinand. And so they are leaving the
13:05
safe room. and entering into Laracos City of
13:09
Dreams. And they talk about how beautiful Laracos
13:12
is and Carl does say it's like something out
13:16
of a token novel which is something that I said
13:19
earlier and I don't know if I really felt that
13:23
way from the descriptions or if this was just
13:26
subconsciously in my brain that Carl says it
13:29
later and I can admit that. I do feel like there's
13:32
a couple things that we've said in previous episodes
13:35
and then as we've kind of come around to a later
13:38
chapter, I was like, oh, was that my actual opinion
13:41
or was that just in my brain because I had read
13:45
it before? Yeah, it's always hard to know. But
13:47
it says that they have crystal -like towers that
13:52
are covered with flowers and that everything
13:55
smells like flowers, even despite the flooding.
13:59
Yeah, there's a bit of a musty smell because
14:01
of the flooding, but it's overwhelmed with the
14:04
smell of flowers. Yeah, but Carl is really blown
14:06
over by it. So yeah, we get a lot of descriptions
14:09
of the Rockos, what it looks like, how it's structured
14:13
and everything. And it's beautiful, but not worth
14:16
really breaking down all of those descriptions.
14:19
They leave the safe room and Carl does note that
14:23
it's not a true safe room. And I was wanting
14:27
to know what the difference between a true safe
14:29
room and not a true safe room is. I had to go
14:32
and look this up, and what I'm referencing comes
14:34
from Gate of the Feral Gods, Chapter 4. So not
14:38
all bars are true safe rooms, and whenever they
14:41
say something is not a true safe room, what that
14:43
means is if the proprietor is not a babka, there's
14:48
a 50 -50 chance it isn't a true safe room. If
14:51
it's not a true safe room, certain NPCs will
14:55
be safe. For example, if it's Mordecai, he would
14:57
be safe. If there aren't any crawlers or former
15:00
crawlers slash off -world NPCs, the room would
15:04
probably be destroyed if it was attacked or a
15:07
giant bomb went off outside of it. Regular NPCs
15:11
won't be protected unless a crawler is in the
15:15
safe room. We see that a lot of the NPCs are
15:19
preparing to fight. At first, Carl thinks he's
15:21
looking at these NPCs just kind of going about
15:23
their daily lives, but upon closer inspection,
15:25
he sees... dad teaching his son how to stab with
15:28
the sword and then a woman repairing chain mail
15:31
and so on. So you really see that the whole city
15:35
is gearing up for the days to come. Yeah, and
15:38
there's no protection for the city. And usually
15:41
the city cannot be entered in the first rounds
15:45
of fighting, but it is usually destroyed anyways,
15:48
just because there's... spells they go off course
15:52
they have artillery there's gods running around
15:55
and then like you have like demon eviction events
15:58
like all this stuff that's happening just around
16:00
loracos during ramp up and open hostilities and
16:04
like a lot of stuff just ends up basically falling
16:06
into loracos yeah and it says when it was opened
16:09
there would usually be two teams left who would
16:11
fight their way to the castle And the NPCs would
16:15
sometimes start to fight back at this point.
16:18
But obviously, this is different because in this
16:23
scenario, the NPCs are fighting back from the
16:25
beginning. Right, which is a historical event,
16:28
something that's never happened before. And Juicebox
16:31
has been down here for a while now, so she's
16:33
already awoken all the NPCs and recruited all
16:37
of them into the army. And she's had... Just
16:40
a really long time to prepare for the coming
16:42
battles, which ends up putting the NPCs into
16:45
a really solid, defendable position. Definitely,
16:49
and the NPCs definitely save the Princess Posse
16:52
pretty hard multiple times. And we find out that,
16:56
really, Juicebox is underplaying the strength
17:02
of the position that she's in in a multitude
17:05
of different ways. has a bunch of different plays
17:09
happening at any given time. And most people
17:12
don't know about any of them. Yeah, it's great.
17:14
Juicebox is one of my favorite characters. She
17:16
is. She absolutely is. So what are we going into
17:19
next? So Louis tells us that there were plays
17:23
happening as part of the college, but they have
17:26
stopped them to prepare for the war. And there
17:29
are several restaurants you can eat in. But he
17:31
also says that there are a lot of shops. But
17:35
all the good shops were on the lower levels and
17:38
they got destroyed. Good job, Carl. And that
17:42
everything else was quickly bought up from the
17:45
other stores. Yeah, so pretty much all that's
17:48
left is just like boring, unenchanted clothing
17:51
and such. This is then where we meet Arief, the
17:56
Samaru dwarf. This is the first time we see one
17:59
of these guys. And I'm glad that you're an audiobook
18:02
listener because I would have had absolutely
18:04
no idea how to pronounce that. Yes, Samaru. And
18:07
he is described as being like a short and stout,
18:12
like a regular dwarf. But that was pretty much
18:14
where the similarities stopped. He's kind of
18:16
samurai looking, has a bit of an Asian appearance
18:19
and a bit of an Asian accent. Carl says maybe
18:22
a bit like Tran and Li Jun, but not quite. Yeah,
18:26
and one of the things that I think is so interesting
18:28
is that There have been an advanced team on Earth
18:33
for a long time that was learning Earth culture
18:35
and Earth characters and like kind of common
18:39
tropes that appear in Earth creatures. But also
18:43
those people would know a lot of other things
18:46
from the universe. So it's interesting that maybe
18:52
there are some characters that are like obviously
18:54
Kuatine. It's just like Carl can't see that.
18:56
Right. Okay. I'm not sure. I see what you mean.
18:59
Yeah, so I mean, like, we have our idea of what
19:02
dwarves are, but maybe, like, Kuatine dwarves
19:04
are, like, completely different. And maybe Carl
19:08
meets one and doesn't realize, like, oh, this
19:12
is what Naga think the dwarves look like. Right,
19:15
and it is mentioned, yeah, I see your point.
19:17
So it is also mentioned that while a lot of the
19:19
dungeon is set up to kind of make sense. for
19:23
the crawlers as far as what happens on Earth,
19:27
their own lore and day -to -day lives and things
19:29
like that. But then also a lot of things are
19:31
catered to what the audience and the viewers
19:35
would know and be familiar with. So there's definitely
19:37
like a mix, a meshing of those two dynamics and
19:42
realities. And it's super fascinating. Absolutely.
19:46
Jonah is fascinated with his hat and she wants
19:50
it immediately. She wants all hats. She does.
19:53
They're all good additions to her collection.
19:56
Unfortunately, she doesn't end up getting this
19:57
one. His outfit is described as looking more
20:01
like something that would go in a parade rather
20:03
than into battle, but he's got some really good
20:06
gear. Everything's enchanted, and Carl notes
20:08
that his sickle -style sword is definitely very
20:12
imposing. It is noted that he has a pretty harsh
20:16
debuff on him called Despondent, and that's because...
20:20
the goddess that the Samaro dwarves worship,
20:23
Assaulti the Vinegar Bitch, was killed on the
20:25
eighth floor. And that's going to be talked about
20:28
a little bit more in a couple pages, but we get
20:32
into a bit more description and background of
20:35
the Samaro dwarves. Carl thought that they were
20:39
all kind of described as drunk and stupid, but
20:41
that's certainly not the impression he's getting
20:42
here. No, and it is interesting that it notes
20:46
since they are both officers, if he attacks him,
20:48
it will automatically cancel their truce. Which
20:51
is definitely an interesting but understandable
20:53
mechanic. Like sometimes these things are mentioned
20:56
and you're like, oh, maybe that's getting at
20:58
something that's going to happen, but it never
20:59
does. Yeah, and then Carl examines him and we
21:03
get a lot of info dump from the AI. And the AI
21:08
is like, in case you haven't figured. all this
21:10
out yet. The whole fable with the Skolopendra
21:12
levels is based on a fairy tale, but what is
21:15
that fairy tale based on? I think it's pretty
21:17
obvious, but sometimes you guys need a little
21:19
push. I think I need a big push. Yeah, so I tried
21:22
looking this up, and there are some fan theories,
21:26
but it is actually noted by the AI somewhere
21:29
else that the fairy tale it's based on doesn't
21:33
have an actual Earth equivalent. So... This is
21:37
a fairy tale that it's based on, but it's more
21:39
on a galaxy -wide level that people outside of
21:43
Earth would be familiar with, but people of Earth
21:45
are not. Well, and I think what it's really supposed
21:48
to be a metaphor for is the eulogist. Yeah, that
21:51
is definitely a very strong theory, and I think
21:54
makes the most sense is that it is referring
21:56
to the eulogist or some kind of AI awakening
21:59
taking over the galaxy, which is kind of what's
22:03
happening. So I think it's interesting because
22:06
I think there are some more Lord of the Rings
22:09
illusions here in this fairy tale. So it talks
22:13
about how the dwarves are digging because they
22:16
think that they can meet their goddess. Become
22:20
closer to her. And I want to say that the AI
22:23
is being a bit contradictory here. And the AI
22:27
says this too is new even to me. So it might
22:31
be that the AI is still trying to understand
22:35
this story. And we know from the book that he's
22:39
still trying to understand what is going on with
22:42
the eulogist. So that might be part of the metaphor.
22:44
But basically, it says that in discovering the
22:49
roots, they discovered that some things are best
22:53
left alone. Some things should never be woken
22:56
up. But it also says that when Scolopendra's
23:00
nine -tier attack came, the Cimarru got the worst
23:03
of it, but it wasn't their fault. And I think
23:08
that a lot of our real -life myth or history
23:12
is also kind of the same way, where there's not
23:16
a definitive answer to what happened. And I think
23:21
that's a little bit of the case in this story.
23:24
Which is frustrating for us humans, but it's
23:26
the way of things. It is. And the Samaro did,
23:29
unfortunately, get the worst of it all. They
23:31
were numbered in the millions before Skolopendra's
23:34
nine -tier attack, and today there are less than
23:36
10 ,000 of them. Isn't that pretty close to how
23:41
many people were on Earth and then are now in
23:44
the dungeon? Well, how many people entered the
23:46
dungeon and how many people are left. Yeah, absolutely.
23:49
And it does make sense that they got the worst
23:52
of it all. because they were the lowest two or
23:56
some of the lowest two skolopendra and like there
23:59
couldn't be anything lower than this in the scale
24:02
of the dungeon slash skolopendra levels yeah
24:05
and this did remind me a little bit more of lord
24:08
of the rings with the dwarfs where it says they
24:12
awaken the balrog yeah they they mined too deep
24:15
and they woke up the balrog right yeah so lots
24:18
of literary allusions here. And then there, I'm
24:21
not going to go into all of them, but there are
24:23
also some real world earth mythology that Scolopendra
24:27
can relate to. So there is actually a type of
24:31
giant centipede that is the Scolopendra genus.
24:35
There is a Japanese folklore that has some similarities
24:40
to this, some Greek and Roman mythology of Scolopendra.
24:43
It's a type of sea serpent or Cetus. And then
24:46
there's some Egyptian mythology, which is a connection
24:50
to Seppah, an Egyptian god depicted as a centipede.
24:53
So there's a lot here that could have some inspiration
24:57
that Matt was pulling from. But we definitely
25:00
don't have any definitive ideas or opinions about
25:03
that. No. I mean, just because something is maybe
25:08
referencing it, it can just literally be where
25:12
the idea came from, but doesn't actually have
25:14
any significant parallels to that thing. Right.
25:18
Yeah, definitely. Not everything is like it's
25:21
like that joke of like your teacher wants you
25:25
to think about, well, why did the poet say the
25:28
room was blue or why did the author write and
25:30
say the room was blue? Maybe sometimes the room
25:33
is just blue. Hear that. Mm hmm. So let's see
25:35
what's going on next. And then in this lovely
25:38
description that the AI is giving, it's like,
25:41
you know, the Samaru took it upon themselves
25:44
to be keepers of. the city of the castle. Eventually
25:47
people came back to the city and it started becoming
25:51
a bustling place once again. And Arieoff here
25:53
loves his home so much. It sure would be a travesty
25:57
if something happened to the city. Who knew?
26:00
It sure would be, wouldn't it? And here it actually
26:03
does break down what the despondent debuff is.
26:05
Honestly, we could have just covered this earlier,
26:07
but it is a 15 % damage increase taken. For the
26:13
afflicted and then an additional 10 % damage
26:17
received increase for anyone who's attacking
26:19
them who worships a deity, that's a pretty freaking
26:22
rough debuff. And that would just be really bad
26:25
for, let's say, if somehow Embrace died. Like,
26:29
that would really, really suck for Carl. Yeah,
26:32
definitely. But Carl mentions in this interaction
26:36
that the dwarf calls himself an NPC and that
26:40
he's never heard that before. And he has basically
26:43
come out to meet them so that they can go meet
26:47
with Juicebox. And then he also kind of drops
26:51
the bomb of, Also, General Louie, I am glad you
26:55
are present. Warlord Juicebox would like to solidify
26:57
our great truce in the traditional manner. And
27:00
everyone goes, oh shit. Absolutely. And that's
27:03
where this chapter ends off. Thank you all again.
