Adrift in the astral sea, a shifting space of purple and hazy mist of magic that surrounds the planes and the worlds,

joining them together. There floats an enormous black crystalline and metal ship soldiers in dark armor with glowing purple magic patrol up and down its interior corridors preparing for war but we see a lonely room single bed a small desk with a few books stacked atop it. Laying in the bed, looking miserable, is a young girl, about 15 or so, dressed in very regal, almost royal-looking clothing. She has scrunched her eyes up tightly as she buries herself under blankets, and we hear just a faint muttering whisper.

I wish I could have just been a regular kid with normal parents and friends who would always be there for me. And as those words leave, we see a purple pulse of magic around the girl emanate out. magic around the girl emanate out meanwhile on a rowis the planet aboard this airship the storm chaser our players our characters are just beginning to rest as they are traveling uh onwards from their last destination some of them sleeping some of them trancing some of them trancing, some of them just powered down to recharge. But as all of them drift off in their various ways, those words seem to almost just whisper in their minds.

And then everything plunges into a very strange sense of darkness. All of you kind of awaken, as if finishing a long rest, but you open your eyes and it's very dark wherever you are. Those of you who are used to having dark vision,

you do see your dark vision isn't quite right. It's still too dark. There is a tiny shaft of light coming from what appears to be a kind of window up quite high that's filling the space. And you can make out kind of odd shapes around you, some sort of soft

fabric that seems to be stacked against the wall. But you're kind of dazed. You find that you can't move. You find that you're almost paralyzed in your bodies. You can think, you're kind of dazed. You find that you can't move. You find that you're almost paralyzed in your bodies. You can think. You're consciously aware of being awake, but you are unable to move. And then in a sudden flash, light just almost blinds you

as this dark space that you've been in, this dark room, the top of it almost seems to come open. Light floods in. You can hear the sound of it almost seems to come open um light floods in you can hear the sound of hustle and bustle people walking coming and going as a much younger valor this girl that you had rescued long ago when your adventures first started but a younger version of her peers in as if she's a giant towering over you, peers in, reaches down with happy smiles and big scooping hands and lifts you all up, clutching you all to her chest

as she just kind of calls out like, time for another adventure with Valor and her friends. And she carts you off to her bedroom, sets you down on a table and you see each other for the first time. Lucius appears to be very immaculately kept, almost like Barbie or Ken doll, with pristine, real, almost lifelike hair

that comes down, like long, blonde, lifelike hair that comes down like Lucius's normally does, wearing a very elegant hand-sewn little outfit with little stick-on gems and all this kind of like decoration. And that's what Lucius appears like. When you look at Quill, Quill is a stuffed, adorable little stuffed bird.

One arm. Only one button eye. The other eye has come loose and there's like loose threads where the eye should be. One little kind of like little wrapped up arm. He's very cute and soft and squishy. He's being kind of like squeezed a little bit as Valor

places him on the desk. Do I have a squeaker? You do not have a squeaker. No, no squeaker. But just like a soft plush toy, like a soft cuddly toy. Ayla appears as a muscular action figure with kind of gripping hands and a hammer

clutched in one hand. And then the other hand is like a grippy hand. So not quite like full flexible fingers, but like a big grippy hand. Squat muscles. They appear to have some sort of like switch or like a wind-up crank on ayla's back um and her hair rather being hair is all molded in place so it looks like this kind of wild molded he-man-esque uh kind of she-ra action figure uh not as dainty as the

lucious barbie doll much more sort of like plastic and molded um century is made of metal and looks like a kind of robot, like a much more robotic than her normal form does. Kind of more square and blocky. It looks like she has several joints that can fold up and fold in and out, and all sorts of little decorations. She's got screws

and joints and things like that, and little arms that can move. And you can see little gemstones as well around her body. And then Nova appears to be much smaller than everybody else. Almost like a little figure with a head and a body with

arms attached and then legs, but they look like they can all be separated. And Valor quickly brings over a rocket ship, a blue and black rocket ship that's made from non-copyright construction bricks that all seem to connect

together, and she places the little Nova in the cockpit, and you see a big sticker along one wing which says Tiangong on the rocket ship. And over the next couple of hours, you are led on various adventures through play and pretend, as Valor kind of takes you all off onto adventures. You through play and pretend as vala kind of takes

you all off onto adventures uh you see that there is a large doll house which has been renamed as the inn uh and is set up against like a room there's like a desk and a chair with some colored drawings and paper a little chest of drawers a beautiful kind of princessy bed and it's very royal and regal the room that she appears to be in um she sets you down on the desk uh and you were all still unable to move but still conscious kind of looking around at whatever you can see when a figure appears in valor's door enormous to your eyes now this whole room valor herself are almost like giants when you see a very well-dressed nobleman in a very kind of clean cut kind of tailcoat tuxedo with kind of aristatic jewelry, long, dark hair, a very chiseled, stern looking face as Calus Starbane, your enemy throughout much of your adventure. The person who has been your kind of ultimate enemy stands in the doorway and kind of looks in.

Valor, it is time for you to begin your studies no more playing today please uh and the little girl kind of turns around just like oh father please please just a little bit longer no no no your mother will be returning this evening we must make sure that you have uh something to show her when you get back we must continue your studies come along now um and she kind of like fusses and kind of huffs and then goes to pick you all up like, well, can I at least bring my friends with me? Calus turns back and is like, no, no. You need to focus on your studies. Besides, there's something about these old toys

that I just don't like. And he comes in and scoops you all up, takes you back over to the toy chest and places you inside. And just as the lid is being shut, you hear him say, besides, I'm sure you'll forget all about these old toys when you open up your new gifts in the morning.

Now come along, you must begin your studies. And you hear Valor being escorted away and the door being shut. And as it does, as you are plunged back into darkness, you feel your limbs almost becoming loose and you able to move and become conscious again. You may now open up the email

and find your relevant stat block that I have given you in your play form. Oh my god. Wait, do we have the memory? You are 100% your character. You have all your memories, you have all of your awareness. You have all your memories. You have all of your awareness.

You are in these bodies. Things like your spells and stuff like that, you can't seem to use them. Whatever abilities you have, those are the abilities you have. Your hit points, those hit points. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I'm called Nova Brickmaster not Lego Brickmaster is the brand Brickmaster is the official brand of these non-copyright Lego construction bricks so yeah, you guys find yourselves in these strange

new bodies, some of you might find your movements a little stiffer some of you might find your movements a little bit more loose, but yeah, you have all your memories. You are those characters. Just limited in form and function. Wow.

Where on earth are we? What's happening? Help! You all look strange! Is that Valorant? My arm's fallen off. My arm's fallen off. My arm has fallen off!

Oh no, no, no! There's something on my back. There's something on my back. There's something on my back. Can someone... What the hell is this? Why am I so fancy? What is happening? This is exactly what I was hoping for.

Excellent. Yeah, those of you who looked, one of Nova's arms has fallen off and being placed in the toy chest. It looks like it's become disconnected. But Nova, you can still move Those of you who looked, one of Nova's arms has fallen off and being placed in the toy chest. It looks like it's become disconnected. But Nova, you can still move that arm. You can sense that the arm will move on its own if you command it to.

Why is my arm moving? It's moving. Look, it's moving. Lucius' disembodied arm moving. Faints. Okay, there you go. So Lucius kind of collapses down. But he has to do it in an awkward,

like he's sitting perfectly upright, and then his body falls backwards. He's been restricted by a joint. Century and Quill, if you look at Ayla, yeah, she has this kind of wind-up crank on her back, which seems to connect to like springs inside her, her body basically. Hang on, hang on.

I'll try and figure out how to walk. This is so weird. I'm like rocking back and forth and then I start bouncing. Yeah. It's kind of, yeah. You find that you can get like a sense of movement. You'll notice on your stat sheets,

by the way, things like your movement speed is just one foot imagine that everything is kind of like 1x10 so things like 30 foot movement speed is now like a foot of movement speed I think it's my hit points too yes you might find those are considerably lower

3 I got one more I have 3 I usually have considerably more than all of you this is not Considerable lower. Three. I got one more. I have three. I usually have considerably more than all of you. This is not on. This is not the way it should be. Where's my 150? Not there anymore, unfortunately.

You do notice there are a couple of things, though. Go on. No, my arm can crawl at half foot speed so I guess yeah well whatever's going to happen next I'm kind of summoning my arm back and it just starts crawling across the thing little fingers kind of like grip along

and eventually you can kind of pop it back in and it feels like it's natural Ayla you still feel quite strong even though you'll kind of feel this form you still feel that you're stronger than most century you you're you can feel you're made of metal you feel much more durable uh quill is definitely very soft and looks very malleable um yeah uh as you will see these kind of uh these you and it's also very dark like you're only getting this tiny

amount of light which you can now see is like a little tiny keyhole in this chest that you were placed in is just filtering a little bit of light into the whole place it's very dark looking around you can now see that what the shapes that you felt before were are building blocks they're like wooden blocks and there is a large blanket in here as well um but yeah is this some form of curse maybe a nightmare are we am i dreaming this could be a dream why was why was valor so young also did you see starbane he was a dad a dad he was huge and he mentioned a mom hold on yeah that as well, right? It can't be real. I can barely see any of you. Let me just rub my jammies.

I'm rubbing. He starts rubbing his little stick on gems. It feels right. As he rubs them, they begin glowing. They begin giving off light, and you can now see each other much more clearly. It's a feature of my doll. That's a feature of my doll.

It's getting weirder and weirder, isn't it? It's very bright. The gems are glowing actually quite brightly. It's almost too bright. Well, we need to figure out how to get out of here. We need to get through that

hole up there. I think. Can we make a ladder? Maybe try and climb up somehow? We need to work together. We can move these. We can move these. I'll move some of them.

And it's okay. It's okay, guys. I still have a hammer. My grippy hands. You've got little grippy hands, basically. Still got a hammer. So it's fine. It grippy hands. You've got little grippy hands, basically. Still got a hammer, so it's fine. It could be worse. It could be worse.

You guys can still move. You can still think as normal and everything else. And Ayla, you start pushing one of these wooden blocks up against the side. And yeah, you're going to have to create like a pyramid stack. So Ayla is currently doing that. Ayla's strong enough that I don't think you need to make a check. You can just start moving.

Apparently, I count for two toys for the strength. You do. You count as two toys. Because I'm strong. You're made of hard plastic. What's everyone else doing? Aayla is moving blocks. I'm bouncing myself against a block to try and move it.

You're so bouncy. I'm bouncing myself against a block to try and move it, but... I don't think that's going to work. You're so bouncy! I would like you to make for me a strength check. What's your strength on my end? It's minus four, Mark. It is! I got a 12. I got a 12.

12 total? So you kind of throw yourself, and you're like a typical plush toy, right? Like soft and fluffy, and you kind of just have to constantly shoulder barge into it, but this doesn't hurt you. You just kind of wrap around it almost

and kind of like... But you do kind of slide a block over like... I'm helping! I would really like it if he did have a squeak inside him, so every time he hit it, it would just be like... Sure, okay, let's add a squeaker then. So yeah, just like a squeaky sound.

Not a squeaker, it's just me going... So you now have a platform of two blocks up against the side of the wall with Lucius's glow-in-the-dark gems providing you with illumination to see by. Century, Nova, Lucius, anything?

Am I still in my little rocket ship? No. So your rocket ship was left out in the room somewhere. Probably on the desk. You're going to have to go and collect him. One thing I would say nova you still have a telepathic connection to tiangong uh you can sense like you can sense their presence there is like some lingering whether it's because that connection between you is so strong normally some of it has passed over into whatever this dream or vision or curse or reality or whatever it is you happen to be in.

You hear a very faint voice just kind of call out in your mind like a, Nova Vija, I appear to be in many pieces. Me too, Tiangong. My arm is currently crawling towards me. I don't know what's going... Can you move, Tiangong? I am unable to move in my current form. I am many pieces. More than I am normally.

Oh, no. No. No. Oh, no. I just realized how Tiangong, Canon Tiangong, matches brick mastering so well. And I recognise it and I appreciate it, Mark Humes. Thank you, thank you. You do hear a voice.

I currently am on a high vantage point overlooking a strange chamber. It appears we are in an extremely large room of sorts. You have been deposited into a small chest. Okay, well, we're working on a way out, and as soon as we get out, I'll try and put you back together again. Excellent. I should warn you, there are numerous tiny soldiers

that are patrolling the bedroom. Wait, what? Ugh. Did everybody hear that? Tiangong says there's tiny soldiers. Tiangong says there's tiny soldiers patrolling the bedroom. We're in a bedroom. In a chest.

In a bedroom. Why? That's okay. I still have the hammer. I could hit them. Why? I need to get out to do that. I'm very up for that.

Are they tiny relative to us or Tiangong? That's a good point. If Nova, you ask this to Tiangong. Yeah, he is. You hear a response back if you ask Sensory's question. They appear to be smaller

than your forms were last I saw you. They appear to be smaller than your forms were last I saw you. They appear to be coloured similar to Valkyrian soldiers. Oh no. They are smaller than your forms currently. Oh, okay. So,

Ayla can just punt them into the next universe. Okay, well I think we should probably try and get out of here first, and then I think we need to get to Tiangong. I don't like the idea that Tiangong's out there disassembled with tiny Valkyrian soldiers wandering around. Do you think this is a Starbane magic of some sort to keep us contained and out of sorts

whilst he does his attack on Eros. Yeah, but Valor's young. She's little. She wasn't that little when we left her. Unless she's been cursed. Has she been cursed? Nova, do you think she's been cursed? She could be part of the curse. Yes. Oh my god.

I bet they took the knives we gave her too. Wait, also Calus mentioned she's getting new toys and then she'll forget all about us new toys we're her best toys what toys yeah you are a toy! Okay. I'm going to keep piling these blocks. If we can get up there, we can have a look through.

So you're at the stage now where you've got two big wooden blocks up against the wall. You're going to need to lift and push another one on top, which means that somebody's going to have to help you, Ayla, to either pull it into place or you're going to have to climb up and then take it off somebody as they lift it up to you. And then you might be able to reach up to the top. Yeah? Ayla? Can I do it with

Sentry? Sure. So you and Sentry kind of together kind of push up, slide it into place, and then you climb up and kind of pull it back in. And you now have like a little ladder of like a block, block, and then a block on top. And yeah, you can get up to the keyhole, Ayla, when you get on the top and peering out.

Yeah, you look out onto, to you, it would be like a giant bedroom, right? It's this enormous room with this huge bed that's the size of a castle, bedroom right it's this enormous room with this huge bed that's the size of a castle chests of drawers that are like you know tall towers a desk with a chair and looking out you can see little tiny tin soldiers like little warhammer figure sized valkyrian soldiers all in like rigid positions kind of like kind of stomping around on their little round faces as they kind of spiral around in patrols. And they seem to be kind of doing a patrol of the bedroom itself. You can also see movement inside the dollhouse, which has been labeled Inn.

You can actually see maybe two figures moving around, but it's hard to see who they are. I think we should go to the Inn. I think there's people in the Inn. There's other people. Oh, God, I hate to think what they are. I think we should go to the inn. I think there's people in the inn. Oh god, I hate to think what they are, but also, soldiers. So we can time it, hopefully. I don't know. Can I try and push

the lid? Even with your extra strength being a strong toy that you are, you manage to lift it up, but on your own, you can only lift it about an inch. You manage to lift it about an inch high, and you can hold it there, but it's a lot of effort. You're like, holding it up.

God damn it. I'm not strong enough in this form. This is very frustrating. Do you need a hand? We can come help. I'll check to Sentry to come and help as well, hopefully. Sure. Sentry, how are you going to climb up

to get up to where Ayla is, up on top of these blocks? Do you want to just try and climb it? Or just get someone to give you a boost? Or how do you want to do it? I think I'll just try and climb it. Try and scurry my way up. Sure, give me an athletics check then. So if you have athletics as a skill. scurry my way up. Give me an athletics check then.

So if you have athletics for skill. Uh. Yeah. 16. 16, yeah. So you kind of managed to get like two metal hands up and pull yourself up. You're very heavy. Even to your own strength as you kind of pull yourself up

you can see that your weight kind of pushes down on the blocks and you manage to climb up to the second one pull yourself up next to ayla and then the two of you manage to lift up big enough that a toy could get out the other side but you still have to kind of hold it open um and then there's just a drop down you can see that on the other side of the chest the chest is maybe only like a foot high in real world but as you look down from this opening, it's quite a drop down to the floor from where you are.

Oh, Ayla, that's a long way down. Ayla, that's a really long way down. It's okay. Okay. Okay. We need something to get down there. I don't know.

Is there any extra building blocks that Nova can put together? Make a thing? I don't know. I think if you're looking around, you can see me bouncing around quite lightly. Yeah, Quill looks like he doesn't weigh anything. He looks like he's full of feathers and stuffing

as opposed to plastic and metal. Let me know if you figure out a plan to get down there. It's a really long drop, Quill. It's a really long drop. Maybe I can help when I swoosh my long, luscious hair. Sure. It seems to grow unnaturally long. I'll just climb up to you all.

And stilted without any articulation in the arms, I'm going to try and climb up. You kind of have to get helped up as you just lift your arms up. You can sort of bend them in the way that they did in Toy Story, but it's very stiff and awkward. But yeah, when you climb up, Sentry and Ayla, you notice that Lucius's hair,

where it connects to his doll head, there's more... If you start pulling it, Lucius' hair grows as you pull it. It's like... As you begin pulling it out... It's okay, you can pull on my hair.

I really don't want to do that. It's for the greater good! I get into a position to stabilize myself. Pull! Cedric? I'll just pull a single hair. Does it hurt?

Is it okay? It's fine. Totally fine. I'll just gradually grab more grabbing handfuls of it and pulling it you can pull out about a foot of hair like it kind of unravels like a rope

okay this is unusual but everything here is unusual so I'll just keep rolling with it it'll be fine you've got a lot of hair. Oh no, sentries at her. I'm going to talk and try and cope with things

stage already, and we've only just started. If I just keep talking, it'll be fine. It'll be fine, right? You know, this is just going to be... You eventually have enough, which looks like it will reach down to the bottom of the toy chest. Okay. Okay.

Okay. So we need to lift this and everyone needs to get out. Quill, do you want to climb down? And Nova, if we make it for the inn, can I try and time it for the patrols? Sure, make a perception check for me. Yeah, okay. Just to spot, like, make sure you don't miss

any of the hidden soldiers and things like that. 15? 15, yeah. You think you've kind of spotted most of the patrols and you wait for them. One of them go under the bed and it looks like they've maybe got a little base or something as they kind of retreat under the bed.

The other ones make their way up to the desk and start using each other to kind of climb up. They form like a little kind of wobbly ladder of each other and then they climb up and then the next one follows up and then the next one and the next one, like climbing monkeys. Oh no, they're organized. They're organized. And you do see them, like, their little arms,

they like snap little salutes and then they kind of go back into their little space marine poses and they kind of waddle around, making their way over. You do also see a couple of them. One of them who's up on the ledge, the window ledge, appears to be riding like a griffon, like a plastic griffon, and it's kind of patrolling around, looking around. Its head is on a very specific swivel um and its wings

kind of like molded shapes um but one of these valkyrian soldiers is looking around on it as if scouting um and makes his way across but yeah you managed to time it so that you think you can that others could climb down and get out uh without being spotted so i think um i've climbed up and i'm like looking at the patrols and i'm kind of having to balance because I'm like a round bodied quill thing. You're kind of like flopping. Your beak kind of droops a little because you're a soft toy. Yeah, and I'm like

looking around. I'm like, okay, okay. On me, everyone, when I say so, we jump. Okay, is everyone ready? And then I just fall. By accident. So you watch as the boil just flops out. But he just kind of lightly

kind of like, foomp. He doesn't take any damage, because he's made of stuffing, so he actually is light enough that he doesn't take fall damage. And he just kind of, foomp, flops against the ground and kind of, almost forms like a little beanbag at the bottom. Like a little safety cushion.

Can I throw myself on the beanbag quill? Yeah, do you want to use Luci's hair to try and climb down, or are you just gonna jump out and try and land on the quill bag? I'm just gonna try and land, because I'm curious as to what would happen if all my parts fall apart.

If you don't have acrobatics as a skill, just make a dex check for me. So just roll plus dex. If you don't have acrobatics, which I don't think you do. I got plus three dexy. Roll. 12, 13, 14, 15.

You managed to aim and target well enough that you just kind of land in the middle of Quill's Totoro-like body where you just kind of poof inside. And you're only... So as a point in terms of sizing, by the way, Lucius is one of the tallest now. He's got this kind of Ken Barbie kind of tall body, long body.

Nova is tiny. She's like a little Lego minifig size. Aayla's like a little lego minifig size ayla's like a little he-man squat kind of figure century's like a kind of metal she's probably the second tallest and then quill is just this like round blob of stuffing so he kind of like flops and oozes around like well i'm constructive plushie come on yeah it's true it's true you are just soft. You don't just kind of flop around, but you are definitely,

you can shrink and stretch and pull and you're more malleable. But yeah, so yeah, Nova just lands on the cushion. You don't take any falling damage. You've managed to make the check. Century and Ayla and Lucius are still at the top with this long Lucius hair rope by your feet ready to be lowered down.

How does Quill react to a tiny brickmaster Nova just flumping on him? Falling out of the chest was a mistake, so I was getting up and ready to brush myself off, and then all of a sudden... Did you hear the squeak? of a sudden. You do hear the squeak. Yeah, the squeak goes off. Thank you, Luz. Thank you, Quill.

You're the small one. The other ones aren't going to do that, are they? Yeah, Sentry. I'm looking up at Sentry now. Don't worry, I'm not. Yes! You might want a price, Quill! I think Aayla will maybe be partway down

climbing the Lucius hair when she just sees Nova just... Amazing. Yeah, so I'll climb down the hair so uh yeah ayla you climb down lucius it doesn't hurt it's just like nothing you know to you you don't feel it you're just kind of stuck with your head sticking out of the toy box at the top at some point i'm just i just become like a piton or something like that just wedged up against the chest wall. Like with your back of your hand curling down behind it. This is fine.

Sure. Ayla makes it down. Ayla's not too heavy, so Ayla just kind of like with her gripping hands just grips the hair, grips the hair, grips the hair with these like little claw vice hands. The hammer, by the way, Ayla, is magnetic, so you can stick it to your back, and then you pull it back and it

comes free. So you just, ka-dunk, and then it sticks in place. I feel like I should get one of these when we finish this. This is very handy. Good idea. Ka-dunk, ka-dunk. Yeah, you manage to climb down next to Quill and leave Sentry and Lucius up at the top. I think

Sentry would start climbing down, but she'd be very cautious to not get any hair caught in her weird joints. Well, Sentry, you also have the problem of... What does it say? Under your Maid of Metal, I believe it states that you are quite heavy, doesn't it? I'm heavy and I count as two toys for the purposes of weight.

So, Lucius, I need you to make a strength check, please, Lucius. Stay pitched in place. Two? Two? Two. So two things happen. As Sentry begins climbing her way down,

you hear the tear. You hear the hair rip. So this huge chunk of long hair that you've been using as a rope just completely rips free. And Sentry, you go tumbling down. But Lucius, the weight of the thing pulls you out of the toy chest as well.

The three of you who are on the ground, you've got a second before Lucius and Sentry hit the floor. What do you do? I mean, this is like when I was looking up. Like, what are the others going to do? And I look up. Can I try and push Quill under where Lucius is going to land? Not Sentry, but under where Lucius is going to land.

Seeing what Nova landed on him and was fine. Quill, do you try and resist? I don't know I just get pushed onto the ground as Lucius basically is about to hit your body sorry sorry sorry or is it

just watch century kind of I'm just going to look up and I think in Nova's head she's going to start making calculations you know she's going to start seeing calculations. She's going to start seeing the chalk marks of she's calculating Sentry's trajectory and time and

mass and blah blah. And by the time she gets to the solution of it, Sentry probably lands on her. Just lands straight on her. Well, I think Sentry falls down. I think that, well well you can make a deck save if you want if you if you want it to go that way nova you then make a dexterity uh check for

me please dexterity saving throw this would be okay if you don't know it's christmas yeah it's christmas i'm here for the banter i'm here for the memes i'm here for getting squashed by century Bye, Sentry. I just get like a slugger, like, no! It's like Sentry's fault. 15, 16, 17, 17. You do manage to kind of sidestep out of the way at the last second as poor Sentry kind of just clatters to the floor. Now, Sentry is made of metal, which means she's very resistant to things. You take one point of damage, Sentry, which is just the minimum. That's with resistance.

So you kind of like crunch, and you just hear like so you kind of like crunch and you just hear like a little kind of like crunching sound as you embed into the kind of heavy wooden floors uh with a thump um and yeah you uh land uh quite sorely down on the ground uh the loud metal crash probably did make a heavy noise so what is the next step uh lucius there's a point it's not your whole hair that's gone it's just like one long chunk. It's just like the one chunk. You have more to be pulled and grown if you desire. And I land

on Quill. Oh yeah, you just land on soft Quill. Like a little cushion. A loud metal clash. And an even louder squeak. Because Lucius is way bigger than Nova. Yeah. That totally worked!

Hey! Sorry, Cole. Does the floor take any damage from Sentry? The floor is definitely damaged, yeah. You see a little crack in the floorboards from where Sentry landed. She's made of almost solid metal. I'm just laying there

just holding a clump of blonde hair. You can keep that length of hair if you want, by the way. It's basically like a little rope at this stage. You've got your rope, you've braided it up. Sorry, Lucius, I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Are you okay? I didn't realise how heavy you were

in this strange form. Do you want this back? I don't think it'll go back in. Don't try and push it back in. Please, you keep it. And I thank Quill and I give him a little little pincersqueak with my two unarticulated hands.

Ow! Thank you, Quill. So soft and fluffy. little pincers squeak with my two unarticulated hands. No! Make it so soft and fluffy. My bottom eye bulges a little bit. Yeah. Oh, a little tight. And yeah, you can see that there is...

So yeah, there is this big, expansive floor to the dollhouse under the bed, and yeah, you can already begin to hear kind of clattering of plastic coming from nearby. I hope they don't have any sharp bits. Pop me open. Where's Tiangong at this point? So you can see, yeah, Nova, you can see on the desk,

there's like a little, like stacks of books and paper. And there's just this stack of like, stacks of books and paper, and there's just this stack of, like, blue and black brick master that's been kind of scattered around. Some of it's half-formed, still in the rocket ship, but the soldiers don't seem to be interested in it. They're just kind of more just patrolling the room. They don't seem to be interested in Tiangong. Can I, like, summon it to me? Can I kind of, like, I don't know, be interested in Tiangong. Can I summon it to me?

Can I kind of, I don't know, use whatever connection you have? Any magical sense, apart from his telepathy? No. It's just a big pile of bricks at the moment. You can see that there's wheels. There's all sorts of different components to it, but yeah, it does not magically arrive to you. You could try and climb up there,

or you can make your way over to the inn. You guys can split up. What do you want to do? I don't really want to leave Tiangong on their own. They're right there by the soldiers. What should we do? Make a stop at the inn,

then make a plan. Stop at the inn, plan. There might be things in there that we can use, because he's really high up. That's true. I've lost my climbing hair guess there's some reason my connection with them isn't working i'm trying to summon them but i can't tiny brick master arm do i have like the little brick master um like little cool little core hands how can i write with these hands? Yeah.

I can't hold it. The Aayla is in a very similar position. Yeah. Yeah. So with that, you guys just going to make a run for this dollhouse, this inn that's been labeled as. Sure.

You guys kind of flop your way, roll your way, or kind of awkwardly run your way across the wooden floor of valor's room um and you arrive at a very pretty doll's house uh it's been set up against the floor you can see it's obviously being assembled with great care and love um and a little uh handwritten childish sign has been stuck to the side of it that says in, just in like really childish handwriting. There's like a little door and you arrive up to it, you open it up and step inside and you can see just the kind of painted wooden walls,

all of it kind of hand decorated with little tables and chairs and things like that set around it. And there are two figures. One is kind of stuffed in a little bit too big for the space, but they're kind of resting in it and are able to kind of move and twist. They appear to be a stuffed rabbit with boxing gloves for hands and a little pair of shorts.

And they have a little name tag next to their fluffy tail, which says Santa on it. And then there is also a tiny little Sylvanian family style hedgehog lady wearing a very pretty little apron and a little kind of tunic with a little bandana around. And she kind of looks over and says, oh, well, I wasn't expecting any more toys.

Welcome to Rosalina's Inn. Hello, how are you? And she kind of looks over and says, Oh, well, I wasn't expecting any more toys. Welcome to Rosalina's Inn. Hello, how are you? And she kind of looks over. Rosalina! Rosalina, I haven't seen you in forever! What are you talking about? You were just here with Lady Vala a moment ago.

Oh, it is wonderful to see you all. And she kind of looks around. I would ask Miss Sanna to make some space but she's a little bit stuck in the corner at the moment and you can see the kind of stuffed rabbit is just like yes very sorry can't really move right now

Valor stuff me in here pretty tight do you want do you want a hand yes please yeah that'd be great yeah you with your gripping fingers you kind of grip onto like her stuffed boxing gloves and pull her um and she kind of gets pulled free um and you can see yeah she's kind of got like this long kind of like rabbit like uh bipedal body in these big boxing gloves so she can't grip anything she's just got fists

um and she's like oh that's so much better. Oh, thanks. Thanks, Action Aayla. I thought I was going to be stuck in there until Valor came back. What? Action Aayla? Are you both placed in this curse as well? They kind of look at each other very confused,

like, what are you talking about? This whole dreamscape. Is this Calus the Starbane doing? What's happening? very confused like what are you talking about this whole dreamscape this cast of Starbane doing I think pretty hair Lucius must have I mean thank you you don't have to say that but I yes you're all are you all feeling well I know that you had some What happened to my hands? What happened to my hands? Your hands, my dear.

I don't understand. Are you all alright? You're not worrying about what Mr. Callus said, are you? Valor won't forget about any of you. Don't worry. Actually, weirdly enough, I am worried about that. Oh, no.

I'm worried about many things that are not bad. Since she was little, she'd never forget about any of you. You're her favorite toys. What if she grows up? I don't know why. I don't know why Quill is so into this. It obviously

touched the nerve of Quill. Yeah, he's like, you know, it's obviously like some haunted childhood trauma of Quill's. His favourite toys were taken from him or something. How are we supposed to defeat Starbane when he's so huge? He's unfathomably

massive. This is impossible. Oh dear. I think the season has gotten to our friends a little too much Miss Sanna. Don't worry about it. Just because Miss Valor's going to be getting new toys for Snowsong, it's

fine. You're not going to be replaced or anything like that. It's a good time. It's a holiday. We're real people! And I stick my armor we're stuck in these strange plastic bodies or squishy ones in quill's case very supposed to be here well i sanna kind of looks over well we don't know what you're really talking about,

but if there's something wrong, Miss Valor would probably know, or maybe Mr. Callus has something in his office that can explain it if he thinks something's wrong. He has a lot of books in his office. Although, that is where Zarkira is, and she kind of looks a bit nervous. Well, Mr. Callus is Snake, Zarkira.

She doesn't like toys very much. Oh, for God's sake oh pretty sure she's broken a few of us in the past oh no that's if maximilian doesn't get you although he'll probably just bury you in the garden it's the dog. Yes, he's Mr. Dallas' dog. Of course he is. I think Senju's just going to sit on the floor just in a corner. Nova is incomplete in her current form. She needs to get Tiangong back. Right, of course, your rocket. Yes, of course.

Oh, well, those tin soldiers are a bit uppity uh they said that santa and i weren't meant we're not allowed to leave until miss valor comes back they might be a bit angry if they find you out of the toy chest but still we need to get missed we need to get we need to get brickmaster nova's uh rocket ship back yes we can't have you separated that's not very fair um oh i know what if i distract the soldiers and then you guys can climb up to the rocket ship that's a great idea how do you think we should climb up there how do we usually do this uh i mean well uh action ayla's very strong um oh and and obviously uh obviously sentinel prime can become her Elken form.

That's normally a good one as well. I'm sorry, what? What's my name? Well, Sentinel Prime is the leader of the Transformons. Yes. I mean, that's... you need to be careful though I really hope that Miss Valor hasn't got I really hope that Miss Valor

hasn't got Mega Breeze for songs for Snow Song your archenemy hang on hang on transform transform enemy I came up with it just now I didn't think of a brand name for them I mean I can try and climb up there do you know roughly

just as a rough gauge how many tiny little shit soldiers are out there quite a lot of them Lord Callus bought them all for Miss Valor's birthday but she's not really a big fan of them lord callous bought them all for miss vala's birthday but she's not really she's not a big fan of them i think i think uh i think probably he uh misjudged her interest in small miniature uh war soldiers um there's quite a few of them though they are quite separated

uh i can probably distract a bunch of them but i mean if you do get into a scrap with them just you know give them a little knocking around and i'm sure that they'll uh leave you alone for a bit i mean the worst that can happen hammer see magnet exactly actually can definitely take care of something i mean the worst case that can happen is they get broken so that's all and then lord callus will fix them Mr. Callus Mr. Callus sure how do we climb up it was very very high up there

well just work together normally we normally you will stack on each other and get on each other's shoulders that normally seems to work you just need to get once you can get Brickmaster Nova up there you could you can just turn you can build Tiangong into like a car or a little, I don't know,

like a ladder to climb yourself back down, can't you? Sure. Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship! How far do you think you can throw me? Maybe I can throw you you I could try it

you could definitely try maybe you sure love to fly I have a very weird idea oh Sanna will look over and be like oh Action Halo you haven't got any of the others to wind you up yet

I mean they wind me up daily they're an absolute nightmare to be around no i mean and she kind of goes to the back of you and you feel like something like twisting in your back and your muscles suddenly become very sort of tight and you feel like you've got an extra extra powerful swing in you. There we go. Your wind-up whack is ready. A wind-up whack. A wind-up whack. Yeah. It's a wind-up whack. That's a special move.

Yeah. Wind-up whack. Nice. Thank you. Nice, nice, nice. I don't know how that's going to help me right now, but I feel like I want to fight. Go on, Lucius. Is there some sort of sticker mirror

somewhere? Oh, yeah. Yes, there is, yeah. In the dollhouse, you can find one of those little stuck-on reflective mirrors that you kind of have to look at. It's a bit funny and it's a bit warped, but it does the job. What have you become, Lucius?

Although this attire is very fetching. I love the stitch work. Oh, and actually the hair is very luscious. Wow. You know what? This isn't so bad. I think Lucius would probably remember seeing similar dolls like this in Gusthaven. You know, they would sell kind of like little, you know, male and female dolls.

I think Lucius would have some, in fact. Yeah, probably. You do remember that they're a little bit anatomically different to what you're used to being. Oh, interesting. Well, you know what, Quill? You know what you remind me of yeah Mr. Snubbles Mr. Snubbles

I think that's why you fill my heart with so much joy it's the toy I had with me ever since I was a child and I took it on the airship with me when we crashed that's the name you were shouting as we were crashing wait a minute no come here Mr Snubbers

no no it's so good to see you so big ah why is this happening big cat now toy Lucius as I'm squishing him look him up and squish him. Big cat now, boy Lucius. As I'm squishing him, I look up

at his face. I think special parts of me have smoothed over. I'm trying to fight through the pain. What? What do you mean? What special parts? It feels so wrong. Rhiannon's gone. Rhiannon's done. Lucius.

We need to get out of here, Quill. Help me. Please. Why don't you tell me this? I don't know. I'm hurt inside. I'm a plastic toy. How do we get to the spaceship then? Whatever it is.

Broken pieces. Turn into a car. Whatever a car is. I don't wish to intrude, but while everyone's having a mild freakout, could somebody give me a hand? Like, literally, give me a hand. My hand has fallen off, and it's crawling over the bar. I'm not entirely sure what to do,

but I don't want to move in case other parts of me fall off. Anyone? Where is it going? No one? What's the plan? Can I close the door? Yeah, I mean, Nova's hand is doing whatever Nova wants it to do, so probably

trying to make its way back to Nova along the bar. And they just literally sock it back in. But you can see that Nova's head could be lifted off in the same way and her legs can be detached from her body in the same way leaving just like a pair of walking legs not individual legs they have to be a matching pair

of course as is the brick master way yeah brick master way thinking about it Ayla pull my head off don't do that no I can't look don't do it Ayla, pull my head off. No, don't do that. No, I can't look. Don't do it.

I can't look either. I want to try something. Sure, why not? Pull my head off. It just pops off. And yeah, Nova, you can still control your body. You can look around. You can see. Your head is completely detached. As long as you can see your body, your body can act normally. But if you can't see your body, your head is completely detached as long as you can see your body you can your body can act normally But if you can't see your body your body is basically blind so you can still move it

But it has all the penalties for being blind Because you can't see it so you can't see rather. This is rather interesting. That's my body there. That's my head here. Oh Look my arms moving. I've made my arm move Oh look, my arm's moving. I've made my arm move. Look, hello. Look, I'm waving at my head. Hello, head.

I'm going to pick up the... I'm going to have the head and I'm just going to go, look, Lucius. Look. Stop. Hello, Lucius. I keep falling out of consciousness. I can't catch a glance of it.

Lucius has done a whoopsie doopsie. I'm going to give Nova... I'm going to give Nova, I'm going to hand Nova her head back to her little tiny arms. Yeah, and you can carry your own head. Oh, thank you. I'll carry my own head. I have an idea. Ayla, do you think you could throw my body parts up onto the table

where the ship is? I mean, I could try. Sure. You said we could try. Why don't you all have a throwing competition? everyone take a limb and throw him up onto that table I'm gonna go ahead and say someone else can do it

we don't have the strength like Kayla does with her whacking arm yeah if I went with that so that I wound up could I use the momentum of that to just so you realize Ayla that if

that arm in particular one arm in particular can make this really powerful kind of like swinging motion so if you held like Nova's head you could launch it and then somebody could wind you up again and then you could throw the body and then you could throw the legs and it would go

quite a distance. It's really powerful. It's got a really powerful spring to it. I'm like rocking behind her pressing the lever. You do have hands, but you have your wing you can kind of flop around. I know, but I imagine it's tiny compared to my round flush body.

Easier to get on my beak. Santa can also help. Santa's quite happy to help wind up Ayla, but yeah, there's also well, Santa turns around, her kind of like stuffed rabbit, big boxing is just like well, somebody's going to need to distract these soldiers. Do you want me to take care of that?

I can probably get a squad of them to follow me. Sure. What are you me to take care of that? I can probably get a squad of them to follow me. Sure. What are you going to do after that? What's your plan? Are you going to go find Miss Valor? She's been stuck in her studies. You know what Mr. Kallus is like. He's going to keep her there all day. Are you going to try and find her?

No idea. No clue. I definitely want to go and see Valor. Valor must know what is going on. And frankly, I miss seeing Valor. And want to go and see Valor. Valor must know what is going on. And frankly, I miss seeing Valor and I want to go see Valor. Yes, maybe we could snap her out of it as well. She might be caught in this whole trap as well. She might just need some words from us.

Oh, well, you need to be careful. I mean, if the humans see toys moving around, that's not a good thing. Mr. Callus not a good thing. Mr. Callus might lock you up. They might think that you're possessed by that magic stuff that people keep talking about in Whispers. Magic? Yes. It's normal stuff.

What do you mean? Oh, no. Yeah, look. I'll try and conjure some dancing lights. Doesn't work. See? I can't do it in these forms, damn it. Oh, I've heard Mr. Callous. They say that some strange red light's been appearing over the city

and people have been having these strange abilities. He's supposed to be looking into it as the chief of police, but we've all heard him kind of talking about it in dark tones. If he thinks that you're possessed by that red magic, I worry what he'll think of you. You should pretend to be toys. Don't let the humans see that we can move and think. Okay, thank you for the advice.

Appreciate it. I'll be throwing Nova's bits and bobs up the top then. Yes. If you want to make a distraction, carry me around and squeak me as you run. All right. And she picks you up in her big boxing glove forms. And it's like, right, okay.

Rosalina, you batten down the hatches here in the inn. I'll take... I guess it would just be called like... I guess you'd just be called Quill. I think your brand would just be like Quill the Owl or something like that. Or Quill the... Not the owl.

Yeah, plush Quill. And she's like, alright, here we go. And she picks him up and she kind of squeezes through. Hug a Quill. Perfect. Hug a Quill. We've been deaf-bes through the wall. Hug a quill. Perfect. Hug a quill. Get bumping. It's hug a quill. Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee. She just sort of like

hops and bounces and you can see she's kind of got like the hop and bounce of a rabbit as you begin and she starts calling out like, hey, hey, soldier guys. Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee. And then she's like, come on, quill. Shout out to them as well. Ha ha ha ha as well and you see a few of these little warhammer soldiers kind of turn around

looking down from the desk and from the chest of drawers like hey you're not supposed to be outside of your house or your chest Mr. Callous get them and then they like little stormtroopers they start like trying to chase after you but they're not as quick as Santa so they kind of of have to waddle around on their little round bases

chasing after her as she kind of keeps a bunch of them distracted. Meanwhile, Aayla and Nova and the rest of you guys manage to kind of make your way up, and yeah, looking up, you can see that there's a little short chair and then there's a desk with papers and books and things on it, and Tiangong is on the corner of the desk

in a few pieces. Come on then, pump me! Yeet Nova towards Tiangong, please. You're gonna have to break Nova down, so you're gonna send like head first or like body first or legs first. Head first. Head first, okay. So you pull the head off. You get your arm, which

is now spring-loaded, and with a swift katunk, the hand kind of launches her like a baseball. Make a... let's see here. I think this would probably be a perception check to get your aim right. You're like...

Okay. Oh dear. That is... 13. 13. It doesn't land next to Tiangong. Nova's head hits the side, and with its cylindrical shape

kind of rolls a little bit, and you're kind of looking halfway sideways at Tiangong as your head comes to rest against a crayon. Next piece, Lucius or Sentry, you'll have to wind Aayla up. It is an action to wind up Aayla's back. I hope as best I can, yeah. Yeah, you've seen...

So, Lucius, out of everybody, you've got the most movements, because, like, you actually have fingers that you can move, yeah. Oh, I've got no fingers. Yeah, you've actually got fingers. Everybody else has toy hands like this, whereas you actually have elbows. You don't have elbows,

so you're like, you can do this, but you have to... Alright, yeah, I'll start winding. Okay, so between Century, you wind up Ayla's back. What's the next piece? Torso or legs? Torso. Why not? Okay, another perception check.

Oh, uh... 21. 21. This time the torso and the arms land next to the brick pile. They actually kind of almost collapse into them and they scatter up against these blue and black pieces, part of the wing where it says Tiangong.

And you hear Tiangong Nova in your mind just like, Nova Vija, I believe that your arms and body have landed next to mine. Oh! What a wonderful... I do require considerable assembly. Don't worry about that.

Can I start trying to put myself... Yeah, so you're kind of looking yourself sideways, so it's going to take longer than you would expect. Do you want the body can crawl over to you to pick up your head, or do you want to start building Tiangong? Can I start putting myself...

Can I start having my hands and legs coming toward... Your legs aren't up there yet. Oh, my legs aren't up there. No, your torso and hands begin crawling over towards your head to try and pick you up. As Lucius and Sentry begin winding up Aayla's

back for the third run, Quill, you see the soldiers that have been pursuing you. You're going to need to keep their attention on you to avoid them spotting Aayla lobbing Nova parts up to the desk. What do you want to do? Sana, Sana, there's too many of them. They're starting to turn away.

Sana, follow me. Okay. And she just turns around. She's like, okay, you ready for this? Uh-huh. There we go! Basically, she probably won't be able to bowl you as much as she's gonna throw you like a

boulder at them to try and like roll you towards them. That's a natural 20. So she locks you with these big boxing glove fists and just turns around and throws you. And like a rolling stuffed toy, you just like the boulder from Indiana Jones, all of these soldiers turn around and go like,

retreat, retreat! And they try and double their way back as you just kind of roll over their entire body. Some of them kind of get stuck into you. One of them snaps off of his base and you just hear a, Sarge, my legs! I can't feel my legs! And yeah, very, very easily distracted for the time being.

Ayla, you've got one more throw to get the legs up there. Go for it. Give me a perception check. 13 plus 6. Oh, yeah. With that, the legs land perfectly on the desk no risk of anything flying off the edges or going too far um and yeah together nova you managed to reassemble yourself and make your way over to yeah the uh pieces of your rocket uh tiangong um and yeah you can look at it you can build ti Tiangong. You have the ability there. You can actually build Tiangong into almost any object

or vehicle that you desire as long as it remains in the roughly the same size. So kind of like a one-person vehicle, basically. You could turn Tiangong into a ladder. You could turn Tiangong into like a little bridge. There are wheels. There are like all sorts of like little bits

and pieces that you can put together very lego movie if brick master sorry brick master movie brick master sorry brick master builder yeah yeah um so if i was a brick master builder can i brick master uh tiangong into a spaceship and would brick master spaceship tiangong fly it wouldn't fly i mean you are still toys like you have magic sentience but you are a hundred percent toys like you can't fly you can't cast magic spells you could put wheels on the bottom of tiangong and drive around um but you can't fly in the air um You could try and Bluzz Lightyear glide. You could try and fall with style and hope that the wings give you enough of a kind of gliding action to take you down.

Yeah, can I turn into Tiangong Glider and glide down to rejoin everybody else? Sure. So let's see how good of a brick master builder you are. This is just a... Let's make it arcana like knowledge of putting things together

plus 7 y'all okay just remember this is brick master it's not the other product so the wings are actually like plastic wings that can have air catch under them and it's not as heavy like you do think that this might be able to function as a glider.

Wow. Superior product. So I roll a 14 plus 7 arcana is 21. So you begin picking up the first pieces, and, like, in your mind, like, in Nova's little brickmaster brain, we see, like, the kind of instructions lay out before, and it's like right and then and she guns like snapping the pieces too um and uh you hear tiangong just like yes this is an acceptable i recommend that you place this piece here like he's kind of helping you they're kind

of helping you giving you instructions and then eventually after a few moments after a minute of time you end up with this kind of spaceship-like glider with like a little thing that you can sit in, wheels on the bottom. And with a little kind of shove and jumping in it, it will begin gliding its way down to the ground. It is not elegant. It is not paper plane kind of like drifting. It like drops and then it just kind of catches the air underneath it

and kind of skids to a halt, resting near the foot of the door out of Valor's room as it kind of whoosh, slides down. Most of the Valkyrian tin soldiers retreat with their damaged comrades after the boulder quill crushes many of them. Sana, the ones that kind of linger behind, Sana follows up and just kicks them under the

bed, basically. How much of a horror is this? Like, they're dragging their comrades along like I can't feel anything! I mean, have you ever seen like a little warhammer that's like been snapped off of its base, but its legs have come loose instead? Like, it's like, you know,

like the plastic's broken apart. It's like, come loose instead. Like, it's like, you know, like, the plastic's broken apart. It's like, yeah, yeah. Like, as that's happened and he's being dragged away, he's just like, I can't feel my feet, Sarge. I'm never gonna fight again. You stay with me, soldier. We'll get you fixed up. Lord Calus will fix you, don't worry.

We've got the medic gel back in HQ. And they're, like, like dragging him back and you can see like a pot of superglue under the bed are all of these like exquisitely painted as well yeah they're like beautifully painted is there one

that Bala painted and it's just like a soldier you don't see one you don't see one not here but that's not to say there isn't one alright cool you don't see one you don't see one not here but that's not to say there isn't all right all right cool just revealing that plastic white where the uh snap is yeah it's like the gray plastic yeah underneath where the snap is i'm gonna start running towards where uh nova and tiangong spaceship landed yeah so they've landed right by the big door and you can see it's this huge human sized door with like a handle.

And there is a tiny gap, maybe sort of half an inch gap under the door itself with a little draft coming through. And you can hear the sounds of like heavy footsteps coming and going and things like that. And yeah, you, you emerge the group of you meet by the door leading out of Valor's room.

What's the plan? I'll wait for everyone to catch up, I guess. Do we all catch up? I'm assuming so. Yeah. Yeah. Unless there's plans. Unless anybody wants to do anything differently. We have to be careful from here on out. It's the

wider world. We have Maximilian, by the sounds of it, right-hand man to Starbane himself, and Zarkira, a snake. We don't know how big that's going to be. Well, a snake in his office, though. What about

the red star thing causing magic? Maybe that'll be a way to reverse the magic. I don't know. The red lights, I mean, not Red Star. Oh wait, you're right. I think we should find... We should find Vala. Where do you think she would be?

Would she be in Starbane's office studying? Interesting question. Okay, so right, well how do we get through the door and not get... And not get eaten by Maximilian, Taldros, the dog? We have to be incognito. Yes. Or maybe find a way to get higher up again. But I assume this doesn't fly?

Tiangong, it didn't seem like it flew when it did that maneuver a moment ago. It kind of just fell. We can glide. We can fall with style, Quill. Thank you. Nice bold work, by the way. Thank you. Saw you get a strike there. Very proud.

I don't know what that is. Can you make a ladder to the door handle? We need a ladder to the door handle? We need to get to the door handle, right? We need to... Can we not all fit underneath? Century,

Ayla, and Lucius won't fit. I think that if you took Tiangong out piece by piece, Nova, you and Tiangong could squeeze under it, and Quill looks like he could be stuffed through it by force if somebody squished him. And he could fit under it. But yeah, Aayla, Sentry, and Lucius are all a bit too big.

They're going to need the door open to get through. Yes, we'll need to open it. Okay, I guess... Yeah, can I make Tiangong create a ladder and then climb up to the door handle? Yeah, and I think if, again, it's kind of like a teamwork thing, right? Like Lucius being taller, if he puts Sentry,

or if Sentry holds the ladder up, or an Aayla climbs up it and then holds Lucius up, Lucius can reach the handle and sort of pull it down, kind of. I'll ask Sentry for that torn off piece of hair and form it into a sling and then try and

throw it over the handle Yeah, you braid the hair because I think Lucius would know how to do a really nice braided hair, right? He kind of makes a kind of, not like a whip but like a little kind of lasso or something from braided hair and then he can pull it down

and the door just opens You pull down the door just opens. You pull down, the door kind of handle goes down and then it just kind of falls in a little bit where you can pry it open and open the door wide enough to step out. Looking out, and we'll describe this before we take a quick break. Looking out, you look into a beautiful, almost palatial hallway. Chandeliers of glimmering crystals line the ceiling. You can see that the walls are a kind of deep, dark wood paneling.

There is a thick red plush carpet that runs through the hallway, and it is bustling. Servants and guards and aides are constantly coming and going. They seem to be carrying like plates of like food to be prepared or to be cooked decorations they're stringing up these kind of uh like twisted vines with little glass ornaments and decorations snowflakes all along the ceiling there are these bright colored ornaments um they seem to be carrying all sorts of different decorations constantly coming and going um being so small they don't take any immediate notice to you but if you do anything to draw attention to yourselves they will definitely notice um but for the time being they're too

preoccupied in their their giant goings uh on that they do not notice a couple of toys standing by the door leading out of valor's's room and yeah we will take a break there I believe now that you've escaped Valor's bedroom I hope you can see now why I didn't want to tell you what we would be doing

this is amazing this is inspired I love it yeah I just realised as well you sent us a text message in the group text chat before this going, think outside of the box. And I don't know if you intentionally meant that because we literally started

in a box. So badly. He also said that he came up with this last night, so I feel like Mark was sitting last night and just went, ah! I will tell you exactly, Nina and I went to the shops and on the way to the shops,

I saw an advert for Toy Story 4 and I was like, there it is! Amazing.
