 Hello, and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brent and today we're in episode 248 of There was one-on-one a death a walkthrough last time if you haven't seen that already it was the end of End of mirage live stream where we defeated grandfather spider and all that good stuff, but today we are finally Finally starting in Peria Following through with your responsibilities Initiate You heard correctly you never signed your arcana rank promotion paperwork, so you're not officially an understudy yet So here sign done Congratulations blah blah while we're on the subject of fairness. I hear you failed to submit your full post mirage report Whatever you did in mirage Managed to pull several of the scholar's noses out of their books and get them all worked up about something Old Baba Yaga's been ranting and raving even more than usual. I think she's even been crying Yes, you should probably check on her Okay, so if you don't know Yes, what happened basically at the end of last episode of Miralori got captured by old Cob Yeah, I know So that wasn't good we currently level one two four one away from max level. Yep. I know and we're only just starting in Peria great isn't it I personally think we're gonna be Maxing today, honestly, I think we do considering we're already halfway. I think we're gonna be maxing today We have to hurry Malori save her. You have to save her Grandmother Raven entrusted her to me and I raised her like my own I did my best, but she wanted to be a heroic wizard like you Imperia that's where spiders taken my sweet Malori But I only and some of the other scholars have a plan to rescue her Please after everything you've done. Don't be cravenly now the stink sir Go ask I only how you can help Okay So, yeah, Malori has been captured. She's with grandfather spider apparently taking to Imperia We also found out that Malori is in fact not actually Bobby younger's daughter, but grandmother Ravens daughter So that that's a bit cheeky So, yeah, that's basically all caught up I suppose um Yeah, all caught up So let's head on in We won't be in Imperia today, but we will be Basically making all the preparations in order to get their next episode under study at last your exploits in Mirage while Impressive have resulted in a situation. We at the Arcadam find concerning in an Several scholars have paused their studies and convened to address spiders increasing threat to the spiral We've learned that grandfather spider aims to recover his chaos heart and that he plans to use Malori in some way to do so if the chaos heart is removed from its bonds in imperia It will unravel the very fabric of existence needless to say that would be bad The committee of scholars has determined a mission to imperia is required and that you should lead it Do you accept this responsibility? Good head to the dry docks Immediately the committee of scholars will brief you on the mission. I will join you all momentarily Okay So, yes a new room unlocked need dry docks, which is really cool. Um Yeah Most of you probably know what happens in Imperia because it's been out first so long Actually, not too long. It came out in what like November December January February March April five months It's not even half a year yet. So, I mean at least we're playing it in the first half of the year. Jeez But yeah, we're quickly gonna fill up potions just because it's something that I wanted to do off camera But I didn't I know how dear I It's bad For all yes, good. Okay. Um, yeah, I honestly think we're gonna be leveling today like 2.5 million we've already got what one one one mill. So we should be How much does this quest give like this the quest just gives so much XP So I'm pretty sure we're gonna be leveling today. I would not be surprised Honestly would not be surprised if we level today. I Think it's possible big possibility there Okay, can we load please that would be noise As you enter the cavernous dry docks your senses are assaulted by the smell of dust and the palpable anxiety of the busy scholars But your eyes are quickly drawn to the extraordinary shipmord close by you get the sense you've seen it before Impressive is she not it is hard not to admire cobalust aesthetics Even if their intergalactic navigational systems are less than stellar And you ain't gonna get those systems updated with weak puns. Get back to work Bob Ignis and I will be there to help in a minute as for you under study Now it's not the best time to chat unless you're here about the imperia mission Yeah, well, we are Let's this is actually a really cool place really really cool place really really cool Hi, yeah, you're joining the mission great though I feel the need to warn you imperia ain't exactly a toboggan ride down the hill Yeah, it's not Clara says for sure Raven created imperia specifically to keep spider out as such travel and Communications with imperia are exceedingly difficult Difficult, but not impassable Raven shrouded imperia in a magical storm called the ether which shields the chaos heart from spider It even keeps Raven herself out Unfortunately, the ether doesn't seem to be a deterrent to the semi-divine like spider's children Recently, I only received a jumbled message from the imperian city of zanadu that leads us to suspect spider's son The bat is there then one of our adjunct scholars decided he'd take it upon himself to go investigate So he borrowed spark stream portal prototype. Hey, and no one's heard from poor medulla since oh It is a right shame that he seemed like a bright enough fellow if not a wee bit impetuous Precisely why we are being extra meticulous now. There is no room for error with this mission. Oh Hello there, I only we were just briefing the understudy on the particulars of the mission to imperia And you're just in time to tell them all about the ship. Come on, Ignis. Spartan needs our help very well Come understudy. Holy moly. She she walked. Whoo. Jeez. I only sneaking up on us like that Since the Arcanum's last voyage to imperia resulted in depressing failure a more reliable mode of transportation has become priority one Thus the great sky ship you see before you. It's called the spiral arc. Does it look familiar to you? It should Perhaps you recall seeing it reference when you read the history of the great schism Those who would become the cabal Built it as a lifeboat to usher them through the violent end of the spiral that they believed inevitable After the schism the spiral arc was forgotten until a young man with an incorrigible interest in technology founded here collecting dust as Fate would have it that young man named Spark hails from imperia and has dedicated his life to solving the enigma of imperian travel and despite my many Objections he has volunteered to accompany you on this mission. He is also my brother, but that is inconsequential You and spark should become acquainted here give him this eye on dusty requested and lend him any further aid he may require Well then okay Spark hello, this is really really cool Loading in a familiar face there and truesting and truesting So also a lot of rooms in here as well I really hope that one day we can go to like every single room in the Arcanum That'd be really really cool That'd be really really cool Okay Spiral arc not as impressive as it looked in the um book, but you know, that's cool. That's fine There we are the homemade world door is secured and ready for transport. You sure we shouldn't test it first This world door will serve as the initial stream portal link and what I hope will eventually become an imperian-wide teleportation network. Ah Kind of like how a lead climber does that first free climb to install the guide rope so everyone else can use it to scale the mountain I suppose so yes, just got to get that first anchor point down, right? Oh, hey there under study Excuse me. I need to check the status of the hull greetings under study I am pleased that we may finally be formally introduced. I am called spark It is my honor to serve as your science officer for this mission Hmm, do I detect the invigorating smell of ion dust? Excellent come I will show you what the ion dust is for and along the way I can show you around the spiral arc. Please follow me What does he give he gives a Accuracy no he must give something crit No, I'm not block Not peers Incoming interesting, it's quite a yeah incoming. Okay interesting weird This is the arcs main machine room which I have retrofitted with a sub light stream drive engine Ignis is smoke testing the stream drive now Spark me boy your engine sure is impressive, but I can't seem to get her to spool up to maximum warp Have you tried increasing the aperture of the fission intake? I'm giving her all she's got. I just can't do it. I need more power Intriguing it will take some time for me to properly diagnose the issue I trust you'll figure it out spark now if that's all I've another mission related task I need to tend to yes, of course. Thank you for your assistance Ignis under study We should make haste with the tour Okay These stately doors lead to the surprisingly spacious living quarters Say what you will about the cabal the en suite lavatories are far more comfortable than those here in the Arcanum moving on Okay This is the emergency escape pod bay the pods are superfluous to our mission But removing them all would require too much effort Yep makes sense Don't need none of those space pods if we've got different symbols on them. That's interesting. Oh, hello Here we find the heart of my intra ethereal navigational guidance system the lux capacitor It uses quantum photon superpositioning to breach nano space Allowing the arc to travel through the stormy ether subatomically Its design came to me after I slipped and hit my head and the a4 mentioned cramped arcanum lavatory Shall we continue to the bridge? Sure thing spark Okay Our tour comes to its conclusion here on the bridge There under the main viewer is the cyclo labe It will help us plot courses through the ether a storm compass as it were And we will end the tour with the one detailed technology cannot update the captain's chair Rather the person in it without a sky captain experienced in ethereal travel The chair and this mission are utterly futile Fortunately, the scholars have this issue mostly figured out it would be prudent for you to check on that I really should get back to work. Okay, so that's basically the ship, which is really cool Huge wee little huge wee little thing that is great English there huge little thing again I don't know what I'm saying huge thing. Um Yeah, but let's hit on down out Is that the door? I did not realize that was a door. Interesting. There's many doors. There's so many doors apparently And Let's go down this way. Okay Yeah, that it looks so cool. It honestly looks so so cool So cool so so cool this area in all its thing is cool though About time we should have told spark to skip the lavatory tour. Listen up. We need to discuss the recruitment of the sky captain The mission requires a sky captain with experience in imperia I'm sure we don't need to explain how limited that selection is There is only one such person known to our scholars a war frat of dubious reputation by the name of captain taylor Coleridge, you remember him, right as we understand it you and old cold bridge Uh Coleridge met in chrysalis a while back and we're hoping that relationship will help recruit Coleridge to this mission He's not my first choice, but he'll have to do our intelligence has tracked him to Polaris I'll mark the location on your map Captain cool ranch is essential to the mission whatever it takes to convince him to help you do it Whatever it takes Captain cool ranch. Oh my gosh Oh Cool ranch. Oh my gosh, tarik you joker tarik you joker stop being so cheeky tarik jeez Captain cool ranch. Oh my gosh. What a what a world and pirate. What a world jeez Um, let's go over to Polaris and meet captain cool ranch Back to Polaris been a long long time Since we've been there definitely Whoa I wonder how much xp we're getting Polaris. Loading strength actually really pretty cool pretty cool Pretty cool Okay, not too much. Maybe we won't level up today. I don't know you never know I'm I'm still thinking we might level up today. Okay leg. Just chill The hero of walrus burg arrives in our time of need the crooked inspectors are harassing my husband in the stock room Help him Okay, um quick restarting all is good apparently Strange. I don't know what that issue was. Uh, we need to a change up our deck That's for sure Um, we'll just go in first and then I'll do that Um, we'll probably skip off this battle um Just because Silence. We've given you multiple warnings colorage yet We continue to receive reports of rats in this establishment clean up or pay up If the brain fish flingers wouldn't know a rat if they were standing right in front of you We ain't bribing you without a fight. Yeah What's that a threat according to law for once drop eight six one b threatening a city official Is a capital offense prepare to be punished Who are you wizard? How you been? What brings you actually? What do you say you helped me swap this scum out of me stock room then we catches up Okay, I'll be back all once we've finished off this. Okay. I am Back we are hopefully killing. Um, this is actually my second time time Second time trying this. No, we're not killing. Okay. That's cool. Whatever whatever game. Um Yeah, we had some encounter difficulties we um kind of got a fredded just before I hit and then I didn't die as well But I was on like 800 health. So I fled. Um, yeah I know it was a cool story. I know. Um, but yeah, that's why we did Um and today hopefully we're gonna be killing he doesn't have much other left So we can probably just go for a kismar kismar's face kismar's face is what we're gonna do here See look capio Just put that fat kismar in his face. Hello Oh, hello there kismar. How are you today? Oh, that's good Wow, and now we crit. Okay, because I definitely needed that crit. Good job game This game honestly gets to me sometimes Oh color each. I did not know you were friends with a hero of walrus bird. Perhaps I was a bit Overzealous upon further inspection. I officially declare this establishment health care compliant Thank the 70s easy wanted in when you did all friend Come let me pour you a tasty tiki drink on the house Okay, let's follow taylor Taylor Taylor Taylor Um, and we will see what this tasty tiki drink is. I doubt it will be tasty Um, it could be tiki, but not tasty is what I'm thinking. I don't know though I don't know. Can we not have extremely long loading screen? Thank you. I was about to say What happened the vile inspectors they ran away so fast was scoffing a crying And all who heard should see them there and all should cry beware beware The crooked inspectors won't be bothering us anymore. Me love So many feak the hero of walrus burg strikes again I will pour for you our most popular drink a poisson colada A fish colada. Okay, sure Sounds as though we've both lived exciting lives since we parted last come let us swap store Sounds as though we've both lived exciting lives since we parted last come let us swap stories over tropical themed novelty beverages Oh my gosh, what's that? He didn't come here for a tasty tiki drink You want me to captain a skyship to imperia? Absolutely not The fate of the spiral is at stake. Hmm answer still no. Sorry. I'm done sailing I am a small business owner now and a husband Besides even if I wanted to help which I don't I wouldn't be of much assistance to you The exploits in imperia came purely by accident We happened to bond imperia because I could last search in for the storm gate to el dorado We only made it out thanks to a child's lucky guesses Um, yeah, okay. I mean I've I've completely got lost Looking for the storm gate to el dorado and parrot 101 as well. So I understand that's what they told me happened I was knocked unconscious in a shipwreck woke up days later. Doctor at some strange library The navigator from that fateful journey was really the one most responsible for piloting the ship the entire time That navigator is actually a sky captain in his own right now and an adventurous one at that He goes by the name of captain james t pork As it happens he and his crew passed through here, but a few days ago They were heading to azteca said something about an asteroid if you tell pork There's glory to be had he'll join your cause no matter how perilous the journey look for him in the zocalo Oh, and if you happen to run into our dear friend old car Do send him this way Tell him he'll never have to pay at the rada tiki Yeah, I don't think you'll be saying all cobs anytime soon. He's a bit defeated at the moment um Let us hit over to Azteca haven't been there in a long time juice Don't often get to go back to azteca. Do we? Nope That is definitely for sure Oof But let's go then nonetheless Dun dun dun dun dun as teca. Where are you? Azteca, there you are Look at that loading screen. Oh my my Wow She's like praising the the head of the thingy head The dino head kind of funny Kind of funny. Okay. Can we load things? I was about to say no Dun dun dun Azteca, hello Azteca, hello Long time no see You're there got a second please. It's an emergency life or death Beans, hello So are you a powerful wizard or do you just dress like one you are great Whatever powerful wizard stuff you're up to is gonna have to wait my captain needs your help follow me Okay, let us follow beans then Oof this gives a lot of exp that's always nice Here's where the frenzied she beasts captured him. I'm no good in a fight, but I'll do what I can. We just gotta hurry Okay, let's hit on him, please Thank you This is also a mob fight I remember So we will slip to this deck Um see how that goes Why do I have death blades in there? I have no clue honestly no clue at all That's strange strange My trusted companion. I knew you'd bring help get me out of here before these morosely magnificent priestesses Sacrifice me the one with the soulful eyes and the flawless scaly skin has the key to the cage Careful she bites only the worthy may enter the shrine to the crying Okay, I'll be back once I've defeated these guys. Okay. I am back. We are just killing Goodbye He puts up death shields. So he's not too nice. I don't like him enough Such unrest only further angers the crying sky. Here's the key to the cage Just promise you'll take the big man far away. Oh, don't pretend you won't miss me beans You heard the lovely lady. Let me out of this cage. We've got places to go Darn it James. I'm a doctor not a locksmith wizard. Would you be so kind as to use the priestess's key to let captain pork out of his pen? Sure Freedom at last I warned you Captivating captus that my crew would come for me. There will be no sacrifice this day What we never plan to sacrifice you We let you up to keep you out of our personal space while we pray and that only caused you more grief Didn't it beans new wizard friend. Let's leave these gallows to their prayers Okay, let's just do that as quicker probably Less walking, you know less walking Hopefully they've been not be right outside. That would be annoying If they're right outside no way Oh, no, they're just over here. Cool. That is good Um, yeah, that wasn't too difficult, but you know just more bites normal or more bites I can't thank you enough wizard. Your timing is impeccable. The name is james teepork captain of the sky ship endeavor Charmed i'm sure I assume you're already acquainted with my chief medical officer here I don't know where beans found you, but i'm glad he did thank you both It was more like the wizard found me they just dropped everything and ran headlong into battle without flinching Impressive, I could use someone like that on my crew interested wizard. Hmm great first things first. We should probably leave as tecca Now, but don't worry a new mission will find its way to us. They always do. What's that? Do you know of a mission? Imperia you say to save the spiral Hmm No, my precious endeavor though our strong ship will never survive the stormy imperian either The arcanum has a ship that's different. We're in beans and i will secure provisions and meet you at the arcanum I remember the way Okay, let's go to the try dock Dundun dun dun dun. Luckily, I'll lift that mark so it can save some time Dundun dun dun Dundun dun Loading. Hey, understudy! You're finally back! But where's Coleridge? Yeah, about that. That no good cowardly rat! This makes me unhappy. Extremely unhappy. The spiral is doomed if we don't find an experienced Sky Captain. Oh, the wizard found you an experienced Sky Captain man. Captain James T. Pork reporting for duty. The doorman fits you. Shoot me in. Nice to meet you. So, you've sailed the Stormy Imperian Skies. Actually, he has. And rather deftly, too. My reputation precedes me. Your Nimbari, no? I loved my short time on Numia. Wizard introduced me to your enchanting friends. We have met, Pork. My brother and I were aboard Coleridge's ship that you navigated out of Imperia. It was you who delivered us here. You girl, all grown up, and what about little blue boy? Have the years here in the Arcanum treated him as well as they have you? Yes. Sparks' maturation has made me proud. As he will be the mission's science officer, you too should reacquaint yourselves. Understudy, while the crew prepares for takeoff, Velma von Vinkman has requested a word with you in her office before you leave. Yay. Okay, let us mark here because it's a wee way back. And we will go over to the Arcanum and walk over to the shadow office, or the Shado Hall. This is the boss. Well, we're about to face a boss that caused a lot of trouble. It somehow entered the game way, way, way too early. In one of the random, like, weekly downtimes that they have after that, all of a sudden you could go in the shadow room and, yeah, things happened. So... Yeah. Hello, Velma. Hi. Well, if it isn't my favorite partner in Shadow. I know I should have reached out, but I've been busy chasing shadows. Literally. From what I heard, you've been chasing shadows of your own. You've got quite the grandfather spider situation on your hands, don't you? You'll need to be prepared for whatever spider throws at you next. That's why I've created a cool new shadow spell, the Shadow Trickster. Just collect the essence from the shadow trickster that I've corralled in the shadow training room. Then I'll use it to teach you the spell. Oh, this probably goes without saying, but don't trust anything the trickster says. Just get the trickster essence and get out. Good luck! Yep. Okay. So she'll be able to give us a donate shadow. I don't know why it says quest thing, it's kind of weird, but yeah, one training point I will definitely be getting that just because it'll be quite useful when I am supporting. So I probably won't use it all the time, but we'll definitely get it just to have it because it is quite a good wee little spell donate. One shadow pip. It costs two, but as soon as you've got two you can just donate one to your other person. It's unfortunately got, what's it, a very bad accuracy, but you know, it's fine. It'll be fine. Which is the shadow trickster room. Shadow trickster room is this one. Okay. This is a solo boss. He doesn't chape, so that's always good, and it's just him. So yeah, we should be good, hopefully. Who's there? Oh, you look kind and decent, I'm an innocent captive, please help! Bah! Who's there? Oh, you look kind and decent, I'm an innocent captive, please help! Bah! You're not buying any of that, are you? Venkman said you were clever, so I'll be straight with you. I could have escaped this rinky-dink study hall at any time, but I wanted to meet you. Grandfather Spider will reward me handsomely for bringing you in. He might even let me keep you ahead as a trophy. Let's play. Okay, he does resist to death, but I mean, there's nothing really that we can do about that one. He always casts Dark Pack first turn, so that's always something to know. He also knows Glowbug, Shadow Glowbug, and then a whole bunch of other useless spells. So yeah, we should be fine. We should be fine hopefully, 9000 that is actually quite a lot of health. That's quite a lot, quite a lot. Okay, interesting, there we go. So we'll blade and just do a whole bunch of random stuff I suppose. I'll chant this, I always get the hiccups when I record, it's not good, it is not good at all. Any cleanse? I'm going to discard this one, he can do Plague, but I'm not too worried about that. So same, we will use the cleanse I suppose, might as well, since we have it if we don't get anything else, so we did. That's nice. We'll use this, we'll keep the cleanse just for when we need to use it to remove this bad boy. What's that? Okay, faint, interesting. Interesting, faint. Discard that, I don't think we can do that one, can we? Oh, we can. Okay, we'll do this, do that, and then next we will either faint or go for another thing. That's our blade gone isn't it, I think that's all of our blades. Does this one do all? Let's forget if the shadow one does all, because I know some of them don't, some of them only do three. Yeah, that one does three. Oh well, oh well, whatever, there's a couple of blades, one blade, one blade, three is a very odd number, like a really really odd number. We're going to faint, we'll see if we can use a kizma, because that will do more damage, that will do a lot more damage, if we can also go for a, we'll go for this blade then I suppose. What's this? Okay, shut up blade, interesting. I don't know why he needs to protect it, but that's cool, whatever, whatever. If he does bugs that's going to hurt, the shadow bugs that are going to hurt a lot. Oh, that's really stupid. Okay, we're going to do this, we'll cleanse off the healing. If I pick and heal that'll be great, but if not then that's fine as well. Oh, crit, hello. Is that shadow? I did not realise that was shadow. Jeez, that did a lot. It gives him even more. We might have to just go for a lulu, just to get some of that health back, because this could be bad, nope he didn't do that, okay. We're going to have to go for another cleanse, because he's being cheeky. He's being a cheeky trickster. We'll do this one I suppose, and hopefully if we get a kismar we'll hit next, otherwise we will go for a cleanse. Hopefully a cleanse. Yeah, we can just cut that for a cleanse. A cleanse, please. And of course a blade. A cleanse, please. Thank you. That's good. Please don't you dare do anything silly. Okay, that's fine. That's fine. That's just darken over. Which does a lot, but it'll be good. It'll be fine. That will be fine. All cleanse, cool. And four blades, faint and two traps I suppose. We will go for... We didn't even get it. Oh my gosh, we'll go for a lulu. We will go for a lulu. Okay, hello. Hello there. That's a bit cheeky. Don't you dare do too much. Okay, good, that did nothing. That's fine. That's fine. How many pips did that remove? I don't even know, maybe one. Um... Oh yeah, remove two pips and gave him two pips. Interesting. Okay. Strange. This should do a lot though, this should do a lot. This should be good. Yup, he is dead, definitely. So that's good. Easy peasy. Goodbye. That's good to know. Let's head back to Velma. And tell her that the deed is done. And get a new spell. Shadow Trixter. What's really cool is we get a spell even though we don't get up to 128. 128? Yeah, 128. Which is really cool. They did that with Chrysalis as well, they gave you King Art. And I think that's better. I think that's really good, that they make it worthwhile to level to get a spell. Shadow Trixter isn't the best, but I mean it's better than absolutely nothing. But then again in Chrysalis we also got the Shadow Spells to start with as well. So they had a lot of spells in Chrysalis. You've got that smug, I just wiped the floor with a Shadow Trixter look. So I'm guessing your little jaunt was a success. Alright, you got the essence. Now here's the trick with the Trixter. Cast this little spell, you take on his form and his skills. I hope that spell serves you well in Imperia Wizard. I'm glad I was able to teach it to you before you left. The other scholars might not trust me enough to include me in their little committee, but I couldn't just sit back and not offer to help. Well, I guess I should get back to work and you should get going to Imperia. Oh, and feel free to tell Ioni and the others how helpful I was. Okay, let's go back to the dry dock now. I think we will end off the episode there next time we will be heading into Imperia itself. So yeah, let's head back. Talk to Ioni. Hi. At last. I was becoming anxious. The Ark is fully updated, loaded and prepped for takeoff. As is the crew. The course is set and we're ready to take our positions. Excellent. Oh, there's just one more thing. Ignis, if you would. Right. I fashioned a special outfit for you under study. It should provide at least a wee bit of protection against the Imperian Storms. I made you one too, Spark. Sorry, pork and beans. I only had time for these badges. Hey, at least you're all quite a match now. Thank you, Ignis. Your gift means a great deal to me. I will say a figurative hello to Imperia for you and for you, sister. Just see to it that the mission succeeds, brother, and try not to die. That would make me sad. At least we'll look the part. Crew, it's your positions. Wizard will leave on your mark. The time has come under study. Are you quite ready? No, I'm not. We will be... Good. Remember, aboard the Ark, pork is in charge. But that authority transfers to you the minute you land in Xanadu. From there, you must locate my contact, Ziggy Stardust. She should be able to help you track down Malory and the Bat. Take care, under study. Save journeys. Oh, and watch out for Sky Squares. Just go. End of the episode. Next time, we will be heading off... Taking off to... Oh, it's one of those ones. That's quite cool. Taking off to Imperia and to Xanadu. So yeah, thank you for watching. Remember to leave a like and subscribe. And if you've already subscribed, press the little bell so you know exactly when I post another video. And remember, craft, outside the box.
