0:00.0	Greetings Adventurers. I cannot believe I'm truly saying this. We started playing and
0:06.0	recording season two before we even finished the first season of Dark Dice, and after eight
0:10.0	years, closer to nine, we're finally starting to bring things to a close. After this episode,
0:14.7	we'll be returning to follow a few final episodes with Rowena, Syngri, Elias, and Lyrl,
0:19.3	and a new voice will be joining the party.
0:21.6	One you actually joked about, and no, we really have the one and only Matt Mercer joining us
0:27.6	to bring one of your favorite members of the party to life in just two weeks.
0:31.6	So please spread the word and help share our strange show to find new listeners.
0:36.6	Just a quick reminder that this episode features sections from the amazing horror adventure,
0:41.3	The Madhouse of Tasha's Kiss by Jeff C. Stevens, used with permission.
0:45.3	If you enjoy it, you can play the adventure at your own table and scar your players for life just like we did here.
0:51.3	And finally, another huge thanks to Robert Clotworthy, the voice of Jim Rainer from Starcraft,
0:55.8	for joining the cast as Clymore, and especially a huge thanks to Charlotte Norrop, our dear
1:00.1	friend who's bringing to life the one and only Graham.
1:03.5	Charlotte is very public about this, so I'm able to share this, that she was diagnosed with
1:06.8	a very likely terminal illness earlier this year.
1:09.6	She was very excited when we offered to have her
1:11.2	voice the very eccentric Graham. And while the possibility of a spin-off doesn't currently look feasible,
1:16.4	I wanted to say that if you like what you hear and you're the director of a major video game
1:20.4	production or animated film, please consider hiring this amazing voice actress who's been a part
1:25.3	of the audio fiction community for so many years while there's still time and energy, she's a treasure to us. And for those of you who aren't a director of something, feel free to leave a nice comment about how much you loved Graham, assuming you do, and we'll be happy to share those with her as well wherever you leave those comments. Well, I've stalled as long as I could, and I promised a long episode two weeks ago,
1:45.3	so this one's going to deliver. Let's get started. Hey, Michael. Hey, Tom. Well, big news to share it,
	...
