| 0:00.0 | Lord Blackwood and the Great Tarask Hunt of 83. |
| 0:07.1 | I've already read one tale featuring the great naturalist, an explorer turned sea slug, |
| 0:13.2 | Lord Blackwood, but he's participated in a grand array of adventures throughout his life. |
| 0:19.6 | The previous tale featured Blackwood entering into the land of the unclean, also known as the |
| 0:26.0 | alternate dimension of SCP-093, but this tale stays right here in this dimension. |
| 0:34.5 | Before I get into the reading, however, I'll give some quick background info on the tarasque, |

| 1:35.1 | The creature, still charmed, put up no resistance, and was killed. |
| 1:41.3 | St. Martha proceeded to convert the people of the city to Christianity, and they renamed |
| 1:46.5 | the city to Terescon in remembrance of the Tarasque, or so the story goes. |
| 1:53.9 | The tale featured in this video, however, will be quite a bit different. |
| 1:58.9 | I apologize in advance for my pronunciations of French names and places. |
| 2:06.4 | May 14, 1883. I received a most curious missive in the post this morning. It has been four months |
