Once Upon a Witchlight | Ep. 8 | At a Snail's Race

**Kremily Crue** (0:01)
Welcome to Legends of Avantris. What a do, the name's Kremily Crue, and you are listening to Once Upon a Witchlight. Here's what happened last time.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:11)
Torbeck's mouth grows two gigantic buck teeth.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:21)
How could this happen to Torbeck? Even things are just going from bad to worse for Torbeck.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:38)
Ryada helps you make your way towards the Ferris Wheel, all the while just completely talking your ear off. And it's gonna be so great, because if you decide after the Ferris Wheel that you're completely in love with me, which by the way, you're not allowed to fall in love with me, like totally don't.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:59)
It's really awful.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:00)
It's not me, it's you.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:02)
I don't think this is gonna work anymore. Yeah, I just feel like you might be a little too inexperienced for a gal like me. All of a sudden you hear a booming voice.
You are standing inside of the darkened room where you had fought the... or where you had tried to find the fairy dragon that had been hidden. The past hour or so, going by in almost a blur.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:14)
Do you see what I'm dealing with?

**SPEAKER_5** (2:17)
Do you see what this table is like?

**SPEAKER_7** (2:19)
Yeah, anyway, back to the recap.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:21)
You had spent the last hour or so wandering the carnival, enjoying what it had to offer, playing games.
Cremie was able to get his unicorn horn, breaking pixie hearts along the way. A slow and emotional pixie Ferris Wheel ride came to an unhappy conclusion for one member of your group as the pixie known as Riada Flog decided that she was no longer interested in Torbek.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:56)
Even the god of the world doesn't remember Torbek's name.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:06)
Long as Guy's Night proceeded towards the Cyclops game.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:16)
Stare Down a Cyclops, can't remember what it's called because brain fog.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:20)
And the heartbreak didn't last because the very back of the arena behind the Cyclops was an absolutely gorgeous Aladdin woman, a woman of the Summerfey, and she, it was Gideon who approached her first, and she seemed very interested. But sadly for Gideon, it was Torbeck that really caught her eye.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:45)
I didn't know he was such a food and smooth fucking opera.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:50)
And lucky, lucky for both of them, this was the case because unbeknownst to Gideon, in the cockles of his heart, Gricko was fanning the flame of love.

**SPEAKER_9** (4:03)
That's right.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:08)
Yeah.
They were all successful in staring down the Cyclops with the date secured to spend time with Torbeck not wanting the Aladdin's actual name. She gave him her alias, Laszlo Grigorievich.

**SPEAKER_9** (4:39)
If you google it you won't find any-

**SPEAKER_2** (4:50)
And they decided to meet in the north, before Gaius Night, the catch, pin the tail on the dragon portion of the carnival. And it was here that they met a very uncomfortable carny, who really did not want to let them in to enjoy their game, but eventually they were allowed in. She's the valley girl who just wanted to keep talking to you and cry.
But they were able to be successful through a few turn of events, and eventually, in their victory, the carny returned, not with their prize like they had hoped, but with a letter, a roll of parchment that was wrapped up, gilded and beautiful, white and red, striped like the tent of the big top, and a seal that clearly shows a pocket watch and a weathervane.

**SPEAKER_5** (5:52)
A letter from Mr. Witch.

**SPEAKER_2** (5:55)
She looks nervous as she hands it to you and lets you know that Mr. Witch delivered it personally, but didn't want to disturb you in the midst of your game. You could pick up your prize on the way out, and she'd leave you alone for some time to read the message and figure out what you would like to do.

**SPEAKER_10** (6:35)
The Fairy Dragon disappears and is no longer there with you.

**SPEAKER_2** (6:38)
You've won.

**SPEAKER_10** (6:39)
You don't need to hold it anymore.

**SPEAKER_2** (6:41)
But she'll hand it to Gideon.

**SPEAKER_7** (6:44)
I'll take that. I've got no use for it. Grego, you take this.

**SPEAKER_4** (6:49)
Oh, surely this is a letter from Mr. Witch inviting Torbek to work at the carnival. Torbek is on a heater.

**SPEAKER_12** (7:07)
Is he still behind me?

**SPEAKER_7** (7:13)
He's been shouting about your uncle this whole time.

**SPEAKER_8** (7:42)
I chuck the letter, try like a ninja star.

**SPEAKER_13** (7:49)
And so he flies through midair.

**SPEAKER_7** (7:54)
Come on, Cremie, let's get the hell out of this cursed tent.
