Baldur’s Gate 3 Had VERY Different Plans For Me...

The resident of the budwoir will wish to explore every inch of your new form. He wants to do what to me. >> A lost little mouse is running through the house. >> Excuse you. What are you wearing? >> Off with your clothes. >> Wait, what? Okay, a little bit of recap of what we did yesterday. We went and we saw these uh water ladies. One of their people died and they're like, "Hey, this big metal thing, she was swimming and then she got hit by this big metal thing and she was killed." So she's like, "You need to go find what killed them." And I was like, "Okay, sure." But then in the process of trying to find out what killed them, it was a big submarine. Yes. A massive, massive submarine. And that submarine takes you to an underwater prison, which is like a location from Balders's Gate 1 that has since sunken deep underwater. We go inside the prison and there's like freaking Murloc people, Saho, Sahagans or whatever, however you pronounce it, are guarding it. and we release a bunch of the prisoners, including the Duke, who was part of another quest. So, while doing one quest, we actually ended up getting one of the main quests done. So, if we go back here and we look at our quest log, but basically, we found the Duke. So, House of Hope today and also the Steel Watch. I said that we would finally do House of Hope today, so we will. But maybe we start with going to Omalum because Omalum is who we uh we just saved. He was one of the guys that we just saved. Should I do Steel Wash before House of Hope or uh or after? Yes. Okay. After. Okay. Here's Omalum and the Iron Throne. Wait, no. No. >> Pleasurable [clears throat] to see you. >> Pleasurable. >> Your intervention within the cult's underwater complex was a timely one. I am glad my carelessness did not cost the life of Duke Ravenguard. That you also saved me was unexpected. >> Uh, I would never love you mine. I'd rather like you. I too feel some warmth at your presence. >> Okay, I meant like as a friend. >> Your inclination to generosity is an admirable quality, one I wish to reciprocate. Blur and I have consulted. We first thought to ask the denisms of the Elder Dark for their aid in fighting the cult. Alas, our influence there remains negligible. Instead, we have selected a series of items from the society's orcs. Given my kind's involvement in creating this evil, it is only right that I do my part in helping you defeat it or at least improving your odds. Ooh, reward. Omalum's boon. Any booners? Okay, let's see it. Big reward. Big reward. Any booners? Let's see what we got. Wait. Oh, give it to Minsk. Open. What? Who cares about this stuff? [music] Time to get some story going. Time to finally continue. Okay, chat. Get ready. It's time to finally go to the House of Hope. It's funny. I I passed this place like 10 times, too. I didn't know it was it was this >> the Devil's Fe. Hello. Anyone here? Monster skull. Oh my gosh, this place looks crazy. Let's talk to Hellsick. >> I welcome thee to the Devil's Fe where every hellish curios a rarity. So marry thee and shop with glee. >> The hell did you just say to me? I'm leaving. >> Must lug my guts through this hell. >> Oh, it's you. Your little scrot of a friend left this on my floor the last time you visited. I presume you have returned to re-engage my services. >> Your wares bring them before me. >> A most excellent decision. >> Received Gibbus of the Worshipful Servant. Wait, didn't I already have this item? Wait, I already have this. I have two of these now. Cloak of the weave. Oh my gosh. Cloak of the weave. One plus one spell save and spell attack roll. And you get absorb elements which is what she already has. Oh my gosh. So it's like the upgraded version of this with the plus one plus one Gemini gloves. Candra targeting foes and allies can target an additional creatures. [sighs] Oh my gosh. Multi-target fireballs. Oh my gosh. Increase your wild shape charge by one. Additional charges restored while taking a long rest. The thing is I never shapeshift with Jihira. Well, now what? I should ask her how I even know her. I don't know how I know her. >> How may I be of further assistance? >> A mistran himself a place called the house of hope in particular. >> Truly, that's remarkable. I like to deal with remarkable people. Very well. You stand before Mammon's picklock, latcheper of the nine hells. My business is not information nor hellish curios. Not really. I break people into the hells. That's my thing. >> Uh, Raphael told me the crown of Carus was stolen from Mephistophles. Were you involved with that? >> The two of you wanted to steal something from meles. So, I punched a portal into the arch devil's dusty vaults. And then I Oh gosh, my fickle memory fails. If only something would jog it. >> You asking me for money? Oh my dude, this one golden. >> Come now. Don't be misily. >> 100. >> I mean, I suppose that'll do. Stingy bastard. >> You rascals stole the crown of Carus. Pissed off Mephostophles to no end. I expect you'll pay the price for that one day. You also attracted the attention of another devil, Raphael. His house of hope is furnished with a great deal of treasures, many related to Carus. But alas, he lacks the crown itself. He's rather ambitious. One can only wonder what he has planned for the crown. The answers to that can probably be found within his house. We should infiltrate the devil's home. I have always dreamed of visiting the hells. >> It's weird that Mandara is a paladin, but I guess that makes sense cuz it's like it's she's like she's a paladin by class, but not actually. That information wasn't worth what I paid. And yet you paid anyway. What a terrible cosmic coincidence. >> What? Can you help me break into the house of hope? >> So keen to return to the hells. Well, I suppose it's warm this time of year. Very well. If you wish to die in a verest, that's your business. Mine is charging you for it. Of course, such a task will require quite the substantial donation to Lord Mammon's offers. >> 20,000. >> Such a task would be tantamount to suicide. Do not even entertain it. >> I already paid too much. You're ripping me off. >> Correction, dear. Lord Mammon is ripping you off. It's sort of his thing. >> Wave the fee and I'll add one of Raphael's artifacts to your collection. Or you'll have the price or I'll have you. Moment of truth. Wait, that might have saved us. Let's see. 5 4 6 huge. >> Far be it from me to overlook reasoned in the edge of a blade. Half it is. >> Should I say I need to think about it after after all that? Very well. Here you go. 10,000. I can afford. >> Why? The risk almost seems worth it when there's such pretty coins involved. >> Allow me to outline how this is going to work. First, you were never here. We never spoke. Second, you will perform the rights yourself. I want absolute deniability. Here's the grimoire and necessary components. Oh, this isn't how you negotiate cards. It actually literally is. >> It unlocks the ritual room upstairs. There's a blood circle already drawn. Don't [clears throat] ask whose blood. >> Along with the grimoire and components, Helix hands you a note containing precise instructions for performing the ritual. >> Finally, you were never here. That is of utmost import to remember. >> Now, be gone. Okay. So, at this point, let's go upstairs key. She gave me the key. >> Strongly suggest that you reconsider this course. [clears throat] >> I implore you to reconsider. >> Again from the helmets is not worth the risk of traveling there uninvited. >> Is it not? Hellick's diary. Is there any sound sweet in the jingle jingle of a coins rubbing against coins? Of course, Mammon will hardly be sated by a mere pocket full of gold. No, I'm going to have to start being smarter. What I need is not just revenue, but multiple sources if nothing else to beat Carilla. Perhaps it's time to diversify the business. Not just curios, but information or even better access. Oh, you're a genius, Helick. Infernal marble. What is that? Wooden desk. Gold key. Mask of soul perception. What is this? van bonus plus two to attack rolls, initiative rolls, and perception check. Um, you're like never going to miss the skull. Okay, so you put a skull here. You know, I'm just going to put everything on the ground. Oh, okay. Infernal marble just goes there. Grimoire. Grimmoire. Place that with no eyes. Two spaces lie opposite that point. Pawn to the left. Place what is cut but cannot bleed. Pawn to the right. That which smells but cannot sniff. Diamond. Incense. >> This is futile. >> Shut up. Lazel, where's the coin? >> Throw signing the devil's. Okay. >> Not seek to correct one mistake with another. Why, hello, lover. [gasps] [sighs] >> Okay, here it is. House of Hope time, chat. Do I click in or do I jump in? Okay, that was antilimactic. [laughter] Click. Are you sure you want to go to the House of Hope? All right, here it is. The Emperor's fallen silent. you came. Such a shame. >> What? >> Curiosity killed all the cats. It won't be so kind to you. >> As the woman speaks, you hear a distant rattle of chains and she winces in pain. >> The jailer will hear us. I shouldn't be talking to you. I must go. It's not kind to me. The figure flickers and starts to dim from view, but you sense she could be convinced to return. >> Wait, don't go. Who are you? >> The figure shimmers brightly. Your words seem to have piqued her curiosity. >> Who am I? That's my favorite question. I scream it into the dark while I sleep and whisper it to my memories when I wake. There's a funny response to that. >> I'm the thing that kills you and the only reason you're alive. Made by a promise and done by the truth. A handshake, a hug, the first beat of a newborn's heart. I am hope. What little is left of her. A guttering candle in a universe of night. I'm not much of a friend to anyone anymore, >> but I could use a friend myself. Do you want a friend to guide you through this mad house? I hear the jailer. It hears me. It'll call Raphael. Make every question count. Pick some of them count twice. >> She gets this must house our contract with Raphael. If hope points the way, we might take it and shred it. >> I need to fund my contract. Can you help? >> Caveat, van detour. Big mistake coming here while Raphael holds all the cards in his claws. But big mistakes correct bigger mistakes. Like scribbling your signature in the first place, silly little mice. But yes, can help. Your contract is here in this house. It's >> You hear a sound like the rattle of a chain and an agonizing scream in your head as hope flickers from view momentarily. Sh. >> Everyone here is mad. Even you, especially me. And that makes them dangerous. But it also makes them stupid. >> I'll make you seem as ruined as the rest of the people here. A simple glamour to make a terrible wretch. >> Wait, what? Now whisper your questions, little wretch, but really quiet and very clever. Concentrate. >> Prayer to speak in your finest stage whisper. Fighter history. Recall the hush before the roar of battle. Paladin performance. Speak as the whispered promise. Soft but assured. Charisma. Remember, quiet as a mouse. >> Where is Raphael? >> Behind you. >> Across [laughter] the plains, making deals with jukes and devils. He's a busy man. A busyness man, but not a man at all. Of course. He'll be home soon, though. And you better find your contract before he arrives. I read it. There are precisely 49 clauses and subsections that give him the authority to tear out your soul if he finds you here uninvited. And >> wait, you know about this contract? >> You really should have had someone clever look that thing over before you signed. >> Where will I find it? >> The same place you'll find your sorry little soul when Raphael rips it out. >> The paper cage for your soul. Such a tiny thing, but it's one of his favorites. In the archive, down the corridor, past the dead. Oh, the debtors. They won't like you. >> But I like you. I know I do. I think I do. I hope I do. I just need to ask one question and I'll know for sure. >> What is it? >> Can you save me? Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please. Uh if I can I will. What needs to be done? >> All right. You have to listen very very very closely. I will say this only once. Find the key. Take the contract. Smash my chains. Find the key. Take the contract. Smash my chains. Find the key. Take the contract. Smash my chains. Once you take the contract, the fire will come. And Raphael, you must run. Run. Run. But don't forget me. Please. Please. Please. >> I don't want to burn. Not again. The rattle of chains echoes louder from unseen places. And without a scream [music] or a sigh, hope disappears. In vanilla ballers get three. Hope normally only gives up to four party members. The de the debtor's attire. needed to traverse the house of hope without raising the alarm. The adjustable part has given one or more companion party dead so you don't need to search for outfits before going about your hellish business. Oh, very nice. Oh, this is the place from the cut scene where you first see Raphael. I know you Jeffrey Peterson. Everybody, uh, unless I'm mistaken, we never met. >> I know you nonetheless. As the steeple knows the arch and the keystone knows the clay, I know you for we are both parts of the same design. Like me, you made a deal with >> ain't no way you know me. >> And authored your own damnable fate for the greater good. >> Ain't no way this guy knows me. Now do you know about my deal? Uh, what greater good do you sell yourself for? >> Alas, it was a good that never came to be. I was an architect in life, a builder of tombs and temples, but mostly of towers. My proudest work reached for the stars and sought to dry Saluna's tears. It was a monument to life and to virtue and a happy home to my master for many years. >> I don't have time for this. I can't even find a contract. >> You are right to hurry. Now go find your contract and perhaps you should seek out the archive. But beware, the house is architecturally unstable. Left is sometimes right, but more often it is wrong. >> Hey, we [clears throat] don't got to get political here, man. Infernal iron doors. >> What is she doing? >> One, two, three. One, two, three. Don't look at me. I'm I'm dancing. I love to dance. >> What the heck is this guy? Loyal. Ew. Okay. It's insane. They put that one girl that thinks she's a dog in a game before me. Can you believe that? Insane. Like, dude, why? Dude, freaking the brain is broken on these people, man. Okay, so we went all around except for here. Okay, let's talk to Hope. [snorts and gasps] >> Hello again, little mice. The price for speaking is steep, but I must give warning. Your prize is just ahead in the archive, but you can't take it yet. And even if you could, you mustn't trigger the alarm. And Raphael will come swooping home on wings of malice to rip out your soul. In this house, thieves are melted like butter and spread onto toast. I'm doing it again. I'm doing it again. You're more of a hindrance than a help. >> And you're more of a half staff than a hero. >> Sorry, I tried this again. >> Apologies. Apologies. Apologies. You're not >> I pull yourself together alive and filled with a thousand pins. But since she has so politely, I'll calm myself. >> The archavist is the key, but he's as stubborn as a king and a exploit his pedling weakness and make him gruff. Oh no, they hear me. Speak quickly. Speak softly. You know how this goes. >> Harisma. Okay. >> You study your mind and prepare your questions. >> Is there anyone else I should be aware of in the archive? >> Sister, my sister, what have you done? Sold me for soul scraps. Remember me for fun? My dearest sister Krilla is in there too, pretending to browse the collection, acting all nonchalant. She won't let me escape. Not never, ever, never, ever. >> Uh, sounds like we'll have more luck with the archavist. >> He fears authority figures. There's one regular visitor that he particularly fears. She is crap like a game. >> Hope winces. >> Who does the archavist fear? Hope I need a name. >> Scarier things than you little mice. Brillias. Her true form is so gargantuan and mind scarring to behold that she takes on many guises when she visits. >> Play your part well and you can be one of those blasphemous guises. >> Hope deserves everything for being annoying. True. No, I'm just kidding. Okay, here we go. Raphael's archive. Archebe, as they say in Italian, >> a guest, I do not believe you were invited. [snorts] Most irregular. The schedule is all but clear. And yet you are here. Uh, >> I am Verilious Receptors, Zeriel's High Inquisitor. Oo, a thousand apologies, oh majestic magistrate of the infernal court. Your mortal guise is so vile, I found it perfectly convincing. I would prostrate myself before you and kiss your calluses, but my spine is ruptured in a thousand places. You do know how Raphael likes to play. As always, the archive is yours to peruse. You'll find everything accounted for and I can present documents of procurement if necessary. >> They put my name in the game. I'm looking for a particular belonging to Esphant. How does it know? >> Of course. Of course. It is highly prized due to the unique potential of the soul it is bound to. I don't understand the appeal of them myself, but Raphael does don't after mortals. >> Oh, any mortal doers? As part of the special collection, that item is guarded by a master word that even I do not know. I suggest you wait until Raphael returns and you can discuss the matter with him. You are welcome to relax in the budoir until then. It is where Raphael conducts his most private matters of business and pleasure. The resident of the budoir will wish to explore every inch of your new form. You done with the rat? >> Who wants to do what to me? Amulet of greater health. Set the words. Constitution score 23. The enchantment has no effective. What? Okay. So, we're not going to steal that. Okay. So, uh let's talk to Killa. >> Can't resist the faintest hint of a temptation. That little disguise Hope gave you is adorable. He's going to notice you nosing around his house. I hope you're ready to face a very angry devil. >> I'm crafting. I've already convinced the archavist that I belong here. Hardly a challenge. Your little ploy gave him an excuse to crosscheck lots of paperwork. Enough to keep him happy for months. The only thing that'll keep Raphael happy is dismantling you piece by piece. >> How can you bring yourself to serve your sister's tormentor? >> Poor deluded hope. She's stubborn. >> Raphael loves stubborn. If she just agreed to serve him, he'd probably have released her a long time ago. As things stand, she's his favorite toy. >> We're all mad here. But hope and hell, why? That's the definition of insanity. >> Raphael has something I want. Help me find it. >> Unlike you, I don't have a death wish. You want my advice? >> Enjoy whatever life remains to you. When Raphael catches you, you'll never enjoy anything again. Okay. Is this the contract? >> A most cherished client. There it ink is dry. >> Signature bold to the bottom. The earthy smell of fresh ink still lingers. >> To be protected by an energy field of some kind. >> This is not over. There is no lock that cannot be undone. >> Reach out to sense how far you can reach before being repelled. >> Before you can reach out, a compulsion in your head stops you. No, it seems to say >> it is. die. Raphael, lower your defenses. >> Nothing happens. [screaming] >> Oh, you are stupendously legubrious this day, High Inquisitor. [laughter] Okay. Nice. Okay. Staff of spell power. Arcane battery. Alleviate your purpose with the power of the staff. Next cast. Oh my gosh. What? Oh. Oh, it's only Okay, it's only one prolong rest. Okay, I never mind. I thought it was a proc. >> A lost little mouse is running through the house. >> Excuse you. What are you wearing? Thief in the night. Greedy and here to take. Why are you here, little thief? >> Raphael, you're looking very skimpy. >> Raphael? No. You will have a far cruer master than Raphael soon. But what inspired you to pay him a visit? >> Uh, it was an accident. >> Do not lie. Try again, but this is your last chance >> to break my contract. >> Oh, I love a cheater. Why don't we play a game? You win, I give you everything you desire. [laughter] But you'll enjoy yourself more if you lose. >> Uh, what's the game? It's a surprise. Off with your clothes. >> Wait, what? What? [laughter] What? I Okay, I actually can't do this, I don't think, because the last time I did this, I got I got the YouTube stream banned. Hold on. Just let me full cam for a second. >> Jihira disproves. >> God, keep going. like this and you'll get to live. >> I'm not ending the YouTube stream. >> You'll be crying out my name soon. You'd better know it. I am Harlip, Raphael's personal incubus. Glamourred and transfigured to look like him. >> Personal incubus. >> Perfect copy. >> He only ever wants to sleep with himself. What's better than the devil, you know? >> Wait, he's just like me. [laughter] >> His violating stare sees more than all of you. It sees potential. >> Before we continue, I want to make sure you're comfortable. >> Oh my gosh, it's full. Oh my gosh, the sack is dangling. >> Dude, why would it do that? to change into the arch duchess. Raphael, I can take her form if you choose. >> A simple swap pales in comparison to what you were about to do for me. >> Dude, the camera, you know what the camera just did, by the way? The camera angle, it like Okay, imagine you're the camera. Okay. And the camera literally just swooped around the side like this. All right. And it like zoomed in and you see the balls between the legs. Like literally the camera was like this. The camera literally was just like this. But like why is it doing that? Why aren't you showing? Because it's t it's I can't. This is crazy without context. That is the context. The feminine form is more my taste. Stay as a man if you please. I'll admit I've dreamed of lying with Raphael. Undiluted and raw. It matters not to me. I've had enough of your sick game, demon. >> Then the arch duchess, I shall be on the bed. Lie back. >> I'm not okay. I'm I don't want to do this. This is so awkward. This is almost worse with the camera full cam. What is going to happen to me? >> I already told you it's a surprise. Don't you like surprises? >> Careful. I doubt Raphael's associates dispense pleasure. >> Wait, there's a streamer mode. I didn't know there was even a streamer mode to be a catch >> options. So, show sexual and violent cinematics. Okay. Why does it put sexual and violent in the same? Yeah, but like what if you want to see the violence and not the sexual? You should be more comfortable seeing nipple than seeing someone's inside on their outside. Nope. Not me. H. Do you guys see the Can you Do you guys see the options to choose? Can you guys still see this? Pretend to be helpless while I'm pretending to fight back. Wait, this is so funny. What if you What if you fail the performance check? I kind of want to fail it. Okay, Chad says three. Oh, I failed. It's hopeless. Their hold on you is as warm as a blush and as tight as a manacle. >> Don't worry about a thing. You are right where you need to be. [sighs and gasps] >> Every kiss is as tender as a last goodbye. >> Every touch a lie of true love. >> Ew. It is every sensation of a lifetime of love all at once. Your body trembles with impossible expectation. >> What does it do with those wings? >> Able to resist, a voiceless scream erupts from your mouth. Harlep. You are so so delicious. [laughter] Joins with you. Your mind folds over double as she continues to lavish upon your health form. You stop breathing. >> I waited years to watch you play this scene. >> And your mind begins to clear entirely. Some last thought whispers in your skull, vacated by everything else but rapture. This is the end. >> Devote yourself to pleasure eternal. Stay here with me. This can be forever. [sighs] >> Uh, constitution check. Try to cool your desires and push the creature away. Wait, you can have my body, but not my mind. Constitution check. Try to push her away. Okay, I'm going to push her away. Wait, 25 difficulty class. Oh my gosh. Try as you will, every part of you craves to melt right into him. As the incubus laps up every part of your soul, your mind is lost once and for all. Game over. I gamed over. She effed me to death. She She literally sucked my soul out of my penis. And now I got to do it again. Oh my gosh. Is it because I chose the woman? I have to choose a man. What happened? Like >> it's because it was a woman. >> Wow. Esfond, you were right about women the whole time. >> Is that actually what happened? >> Is it if you choose the woman's >> off with your clothes? >> It has to be the man. >> No shot. Actually, succubus, if you bang, you die. Oh my gosh. So >> good little >> Why does only Jihira dis disproves? >> Keep going like this. >> Look at this. Look at this. Let me show you this. I'm I'm not going to show you the whole thing. I'm I'm going to full cam it. Look at this camera angle. I'm I'm just going to show you real quick >> before we continue. I want to make sure you're comfortable. >> Like you see what's going on there. I [laughter] go >> it swings to the me to change into the arch duchessel >> and like like cinematic swooping camera shot right to the balls. >> Like literally it's like this and this. You see the freaking business in the middle >> like what is going on here? Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. I can I can choose one of the other guys. Wait a second. Look, I can I can character swap. Can I Can I just telekinesis him away? It's blocked. Ah, no. Why is Minkx watching? Minkx, stop watching. [laughter] [gasps] Why? Okay. How come? How come whenever I How come whenever I Okay, I can switch to other characters and I can control them. I switch to Minsk and he's watching. Why is Minsk watching? [laughter] [gasps] The other people are not watching. Jihira, Dora, Lazelle, Shadow Heart. Shadow Heart's watching. Try to cool your desires and push the creature away. Oh my gosh, it fails. >> Try as you will. Every part of you craves [music] to melt right into him. vow that your body belongs to me. >> You always [music] say as in game, >> as in IRL to know >> pleasure thousands with my body, I'd rather die. >> And this will have been the very last time you experienced pleasure. Wait, it actually was because I picked the man or the woman. If you pick the woman, you die. If you pick the man, you fight him eventually. Wait, what? No, you don't. Then how come that's what happened to me? Because you said no. Just let him have the body. Well, I don't want to I don't want to die. If you give him your body, you live. I'm sending this guy into the freaking somewhere. Where am I sending this guy? I'm going to throw him in the chairs. Oh. Oh, I Oh, I failed. >> What I want to know is how many people doing an honor mode run lose it right here. [groaning] And how many would actually admit it? Uh uh. Oh no, guys. I totally lost my honor mode run due to uh combat. >> Wait, hold on, dude. Imagine imagine you're doing honor mode and you lose [laughter] on this part. [gasps] That's crazy. Okay, M [laughter] gets Mince gets in the bed now. Menara is going to pop off like crazy style right now. Watch this. >> To let up. Ready for battle. >> Jahira haste on menthara. Espann crusader's mantle. Oh my gosh. Where are some clothes? Sband. You don't even have a weapon equipped. [laughter] >> [sighs and gasps] >> Okay, booming blade. >> I seek an advantage. >> Crusader's mantle. Look at this booming blade 61. Look at all the bonus. Damn. Bonus damn out the ass. Okay, dude. I'm actually just going to I'm going to rail this dude. Watch this. Booming blade. Look at this. 219. Wait, is this a crit? No, it's not a crit. Here's all the damage. Sneak attack and then offhand attack. No, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry. Perfectly balanced strike. Then we go another main hand attack. [screaming] And then you have Oh my gosh, it's just so much damage. Off hand missed. That's awesome. Good job. Another booming blade. And then I still had another attack. Haste is insane. You gain bonus to spell attack rolls and your weapon attacks deal additional Oh my gosh, these gloves are insane. Your weapon attacks deal an additional 1 to six fire damage and you have a bonus to spell attack rolls. Okay, hold on. Let me go back. All right, I'm I'm I'm going back because I'm not supposed to kill him or whatever. What? These are the questions. How can I retrieve it? Is Raphael actually any good in bed? What? Bro, totally lost the plot. Okay, I'm only going to select two cuz it's funny. And I'm going to reload. Ah, no. But you didn't come all this way to ask that, did you? You wouldn't sell yourself so cheaply, I hope. I sensed the soul within you chained to the contract. You do not deserve to call such a man master. Raphael hides nothing from me. Can deny me nothing aside from what he keeps in his safe. The safe lingers behind the right-hand painting of Raphael. He almost spends more time staring at those portraits than he does at me. >> Although I'd love to watch you struggle to open the [music] safe without it, this key should help. You've labored enough, Pet. Now, shall we bid one another goodbye? Thank you for you. I will misuse you. Well, what the Oh, God. The rule is if you die in game, you die in real life. Does that mean if you gay in game, you will gay in real life? How much further can I go? [laughter] How much further can I go? [laughter] [gasps] Oh my gosh, the timing. Oh man, this game is insane. Speak the magic. Give me my heart's desire. >> The magic winks away at your [music] words. >> Be ready. I suspect Raphael will throw a tantrum when the other children touch his toys. >> This piece of humble parchment, your blood suddenly runs cog Raphael's dinner bell. But you are the entire You claim to be who you are not. Stole from my master and now you expect to leave. The moment you step outside this room, all hells will break loose. More than ready. Okay, I'm going to grab these. So, this is my strength right now. 15 + 4 + 1 + 2. So, if I have gauntlets of hill giant strength, it puts me at 23. But that plus one strength does nothing. What if I gave it to her? All these guys have 20 strength. I mean, what if I give it to her? You should just respe to eight strength and use the gloves. I actually think I should do that. I like the idea of her being on the front lines. Look at that. 239 health. Shadow Heart is like a freaking just like like a holy paladin, dude. Just running in there. Spirit Guardians up and she's like spamming heals in the middle of the fight. I think that is sick. Okay. Uh game time. Meatball hell sphere. Okay. I can pick this up and I'm going to throw it here. [gasps] Okay, dude. That was sick. Wait. Vengeful boore. Sick. Spirit guardians upcast. Okay, Shadow Heart is going to be a badass now. >> Seven damage, six damage. Oh my gosh, I should just try and pick up and throw these. >> I wonder if this is worth the cost. >> Absorb element. Ram. Ram. Okay, the boar is coming back this way. Dude, the the throw is doing the most damage and it's even immune to some of the damage. Okay, good. Wait, no. Well, let's go to hope first. Let's go to hope. >> Careful. The jailer will swallow you all if you take another step. And you won't be able to see me while you're being digested. >> Dude, don't threat me with a good time. >> You found my prison. My body is held in chains just beyond >> the whole heart. I swing that big hammer. Crack open my chains and let's get out of here. >> It's time to buy this coop on a hope and a prayer. >> Any advice when it comes to fighting Rabbi? >> Don't. But if you must make sure I'm with you. He makes mistakes when he's angry, and seeing me running free will make him as angry as an axe head. >> Let's do this. >> You sound so brave, but we really don't have a choice. >> I kind of don't want to save her. I thought you burnished ring paralyzing Ray. >> Cavat incant. I never thought I would be. Believed I could be. Hoped I might be. He will roll. We must dress the holy fant in the room. We can see how you avoid looking at me. I must be so terribly mutilated after all these decades of torture. Don't hold back. Tell me how bad it is. >> Hideous. I can barely stand to look at you. I shall find a breathable sack to wear in my knocking, but only after we escape. >> We'll carve our way to the entrance hall and chop Raphael into messes. That's the hopeful version, of course. The likely version is that we are the messes and he is the chopper. Onward. >> We do a little uh little preparation. >> Slows for a moment and the air becomes thicker. The master of the house is coming. You >> gorilla sargeras. There are many things in your world that I loathe. litters of kittens, chattering children, the noise and the chaos of it all. In my world, in my house, there is order and there are rules. You have broken the most important rule of all and committed the cardinal sin. You went against your word and defied our contract. In doing so, you brought the chaos of your world into mine. I will not abide it. >> You need better staff. Krill didn't even try to stop me. >> I didn't need to. It was very entertaining watching you dig your own grave. I permitted you the freedom to decide your own fate. You could have been smart, selfless, saved the world. Instead, you came here and risked everything. It's the fatal flaw of mortal kind. Take away their free will and they call you a tyrant. Allow them to indulge it and they become tyrants. >> Been heroes if you're only dealt fairly with me. Instead, you're not so different to doomed Carus. Overreaching your limits and burning your world to ash. >> Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. They will save their world and smash you to smithetheriness. >> It's this charming naivity that makes your company such a joy to me. Hope I'll even forgive this little rebellion. Once you're suitably chastised, >> this isn't a rebellion. It's a revolt. I'm revoling. >> You're revoling. [laughter] Then hope dies today. >> Commander, you can salvage a trophy from these insects when I'm done with them. >> These insects struck me down beneath the Shadowlands. They are worthy opponents. Their skulls will make fine trophies. >> That's a nice thing to say. >> Join the winning side. Raphael doesn't stand a chance against me. Guidance 11 to 19 bonus. I think I need the big swing. 20 to 13. That means I still have to get at least a 17 if I'm lucky. If I get a 20, it's guaranteed, but it was guaranteed anyway. Now, with this total bonus 11 to 19, there's like a 45% chance. Let's run it. There's a chance. There's a chance. There's a chance. Do a five. Oh, huge. Huge. Okay. >> To stand against a devil in his own home, that takes courage. >> I'm with you. [laughter] How tiresome. >> Am I to understand that you wish to die [laughter] with them? >> I wish to fight with them. >> It's all the same in the end. If you have any last words, make it quick. It will only take a moment to finish you. >> Dude, literally, it's like zero pressure. And he's like, "You know what? Yeah, sure. It'll only take a moment to finish you." Well, that's twice as long as Harlip said it takes to finish you. Wait, I have one final proposition. No, I'll say the second one. You contemptuous creature [laughter] mortal lives go to their inflame forever Okay. >> What? No. Look at his health. [music] He has 800 health [music] from the mod cuz I made it harder. Wait, is that No, that's not Is that 40%? That's not 40%. >> Hell hell. Hell has its wars. Is this a Disney song? >> The claws curtain fall but hold your applause [laughter] for now down here come the claws. >> Dude, [laughter] mortal life expire. [singing] Soul [music] go to their dooms in forever more. [music] Fools, fools, how hard you have fought. Brave, brave, brain for more true souls that could be doomed detected. >> It just caught me so on guard. Uh, lazil critical hit maneuver on Minsk soul breaker sneak attack. Wait, Korilla is dead. When did she die? Oh, your gear already went. Okay. [laughter] Okay. All right. Uh, line them up, boys. Wait, what? Wait, did he just get dizzy? >> All right, shoot. Okay, nice, nice, nice. Okay, >> nice. Okay, >> doomed detected and >> Okay, dude. I'm owning. All right, Boo, go for the eyes. Go for the eyes, Boo. [laughter] Okay. Okay. I got them all lined up. >> Here comes the claw. >> I got all these guys proned. Wait. Rays of fire. Wait, what? How'd she get up? I thought she was detection. Wait, what? How are they getting up? I thought they got knocked. Nice. Good job, Boo. Oh my gosh. Wait, hold on. So, I kind of made this worse. All right, Spirit Guardians >> dropping a big heel. >> Fox and I'm done. All right, Shadow Heart. Big opportunity attack. Eight damage. Good job, Shadow Heart. He only has 800 left. Consume souls. >> What does that do? >> Beautiful soul. >> What? Wait. Pillar of Souls. Uh, the only person that's going to be able to save this is Menthora. I I actually have a feeling we're going to be like giga screwed in a second. Dude detected. >> Wow, I missed two of them. Missed again. There's no way. Oh, wait. She has divine intervention. Oh, buddy. That's That's nice. That's nice. That's real nice. Banishes one of the unwelcome guests from her house. Okay. Yeah, let's banish one. >> Banished. Nice. Good job. Wait a second. Hold on, guys. Lumps warhorn from act one. I'm well without >> I don't know. Okay, you know what? Let's use the golem. Balthazar's flesh golem. >> Impossible. Wait. And that burn the action. We are so effed. improvised melee weapon. This guy's body on Raphael and rage throw shield. Good charm is he can't attack Mora. Wait, what? I thought Charm made it to where you can't attack them. I'm telling you, dude. Just give me a second. Menthara is going to pop off. She's going to pop off so hard. So, he gets big big buff from being around these things. So, we have to actually kill them. So, in that case, sick. Sneak attack. Boom. Boom. Into a perfectly balanced strike on her. Divine smite crit level two. Oh my gosh, so close. I should have level threeed it. I'm going to fly over here. I'm going to finish this guy. I'm going to fly over here. Finish this guy. I'm killing all the ads first. This my strat for this one. You shouldn't play with divine fire. It will burn. >> I saved I saved on the punished divinity. So I I burned his punished divinity cuz I saw that he had that earlier. Okay. Big preserve life. Okay. Summonthor. Oh my gosh. Nice, Minsk. >> I'd sooner skull, but >> this is your time, Minsk. Oh my gosh. Okay, one down. Let's see. And he has this 15. Okay, Minkx is way more effective. Maybe he should have just soul overcharge. Wait, what? >> I'll save you. >> I swear. >> Wait, here. Wait, what did what? How did she just >> dude? I'm just trying to pump heals. So he gets two actions and two bonus actions every round. By the way, that's how they're getting so much damage out. All the enemies have two two bonus actions and two actions and 40% more health. So that's why like that's why the difficult that that's like what makes it so difficult. We blade medium. All right. Your gear. >> Okay. I'm going to do this, too. I'm going to pop a blood lust. I should have done this earlier. Okay, that just gave me another action. So, with that other action, I'm going to be able to kill these. What just happened? >> Sound strategy, I'm sure. >> Wait, thwarted consumption. Wait, wait, wait. What? Oh, if it takes radiant damage. Oh, and because he's next to Sand with Crusader's Mantle, he can just Oh, that's why I was doing that. >> I will ascend. pushing attack melee. Damn, that was a dumb that was a dumb bonus roll cuz it's 1d6 and she had to get a perfect roll. >> Thank you to dust. >> Dude, I think I'm going to kill him. Like I I had to pull out all the stops, but I think I'm going to kill him. I want tactician enhanced. like tactician with 40% more health, one more bonus action and then one more main action. So every every enemy Oh my gosh, dude. Look at the amount of damage going out. Oh my gosh, Hope is almost dead. I need I need hope to survive cuz cuz once a companion dies, she has four health. Um, divine intervention. Resurrect fallen companions with half their hit points. Restore all all nearby allies as if they had long rested. huge. And then on top of that, we dropping a big heal. Wait. Yeah, drop the big heal. No, we just need a partial. >> She's still incapped. My dude, my my carry is just incap the whole time. Okay, we have Sans still. I think we're going to kill him here. Okay, miss. What does slugardly do? What is What is uh what is that applying? You can't make an opportunity against most recent attacker. Oh, okay. Topple the big folk. Critical hit. Divine smite level four. Was that 76 damage? Great weapon master. Oh my gosh, I'm popping off. I have nothing left here, dude. I'm going to be honest. I think your gear actually having your gear instead of fighting against him made a massive difference. [screaming] [snorts] [laughter] >> I hit him with a big flame strike. Well, well, well. 55 health. What have we here? >> Okay, he's dead. Okay, he's dead here. Last hit. >> It's absolutely preposterous that any of us are alive, we're not. Pinch yourself and check we're not dreaming the last of our lives as we die screaming. Nice. That was a good fight. That was a good fight. Incredible team. We really did defeat Raphael. >> What a wonderful, jolent, glorious day. But my first sister, Killa. >> Yeah, she's dead. It >> is not right that she died. And that makes me want to weep an ocean. >> She made a choice when she started with Iv. >> She was an entire person before she ever made that choice. When we were children, she always kept the last piece of pastry for me and bloodied the nose of the bullies who pulled my hair. She was my sister. But as a wise woman once said, "There's no point in crying over spilled blood. We must go on. And despite all the years I've lost, I have enough love in my heart to guide you." >> For the first time since you heard her voice, hope seems calm. And the peace flows from her into you, soothing your very soul. >> Where will you go now that you're free? >> Nowhere but here. I don't quite think I know where anywhere else is anymore. With a leg of paint and a th or a cleaning, this could be a lovely little house. And I can hardly leave. After all, who would ever want to think of hell without hope? I hope I'll see Killa again one day and that she'll say sorry and I'll tell her she's forgiven. I hope I find all the pieces of my mind that fell out of my head over all those years and that I'll be able to put myself back together again. I hope the echoes of pain will fade and memories of sorrow will die and that you'll visit me here someday. And I hope you have a happy ending of your own. >> Gloves of soul catching your unarmed deck deal only 1 to 10 force damage. Once per turn on an unarmed hit, you regain 10 hit points. I mean, I'm never going to use those. Those are crazy if you're a monk, but I'm never going to use those. Okay, so here's my thing. Hell dusk armor. I was going to see the other guy again. You're proficient with his armor while wearing it. Infernal retribution. Will you succeed soon? cast three burning or burning for three turns. Oh, they take damage. Okay, you have resistance to fire damage. It cannot be burned. You take less damage from all sources. Oh my gosh. And you get fly. Wait, I finally have upgraded armor for Sman. I've been using the same armor for since act one. Look, Adamantine splint splint armor. >> Oh, but this is like kind of evil looking, but like where do I find it? >> Well, we could use such strength in the blood war. Now I'm free of Raphael's blasted contract. I can return to the front lines. >> I have my own front line to return to in Balders's Gate. >> Whoever your enemies are, they have good reason to fear you. And I'll gladly lend you my skills against them when the time comes. Until then, good luck to you, little rabbit. You're a finer hunter than any wolf. >> Okay, here we are. >> You learned your way into the devil's lair. risked mind, limb, and freedom and destroyed the contract that bound you. The contract you never should have signed. >> I regretted the moment I signed it. I destroyed it. You should be happy. I was curious. I wanted to understand what the devil had to offer. >> There is only one thing to understand. I hate this about a devil. >> It serves only itself. >> Anything it promised to deliver, it would recover tenfold. >> You realized the error of your ways and corrected them. But you would do better not to earn in the first place, especially when there is so much at stake. You saw for yourself what the chosen are capable of. But did you also see their weakness? >> Each other. >> Yes, precisely. It was their union that made them. They had an almost flawless plan to dominate Fyun, but their distrust is their undoing. We must not fall into the same trap. We must trust one another. >> I never asked to be stuck with you. >> I could say the same of you. After all we shared. Nonetheless, our fates are bound. And in the absence of a happier union, I will accept a useful one. You may think yourself ingenious for having slain a devil, but you have nearly ironed out a wrinkle. The Elder Brain will not be such an easy foe. It is time we resume our journey to find it. >> My eyes grow heavy. Best to make camp. >> Okay, it's a done deal. House of Hope is finally complete, chat. Wow, what a session, dude. House of Hope was incredible, wasn't it?
