Lowest Monkey on the Totem Pole
Season 5, Episode 27Bridget: After their bath, the crew returned to the Kahuna wave where the captain waited for them.
Bridget: They decided to head up to the next island where the captain had a contest at his sleep.
Bridget: He gets behind the wheel and he gives it a little look around and you guys take off.
Bridget: One home in particular is very, very well lit and the captain points to it and goes,
Tiger: And as she's saying, you know, that she doesn't want to take a back rub in exchange for all of this garbage,
Tiger: Well, I'm imagining that we're just floating on this 4x8 piece of plywood that is precariously attached to four tires.
Tiger: Yeah, I feel like you're always trying to get us to screw over the red captain, and then you keep telling us how dangerous he is.
Tiger: Oh, I thought, yeah, I thought it was gonna be like a boathouse where you just have to duck under the wall and then we would be in the bar.
Bridget: I'm going to say that, I'm going to say because you rolled the higher score squish, I'm sorry,
Tiger: One of us is very drunk. Some of us is not drunk at all. I'm not sure which is which.
Bridget: kind of like doing that thing where they're like kind of like pushing each other as a joke like, oh yeah, you're real tough guy.
Tiger: I'd like to prowl. I like to think that I get on my hands and knees and I start prowling.
Bridget: And they kind of like look down at their feet like what the, it's like somebody let their dog in here.
Bridget: And in fact, when you bumped into those people, it did start to actually make like a ruckus and a few things.
Bridget: >> Yeah, yeah, I think he does see you, but also like I don't think he sees you on the ground.
Bridget: >> Yeah, so Tawny falls flat on his face and the whole bar just like a glorious laughter.
Bridget: She's like every like old middle aged woman who's like working at a job she doesn't deserve.
Bridget: And she's got her apron on and her hair out and she's just like looking at Tawny and she's like, Tawny, what?
Bridget: Tawny, seriously, you're on your break, you're five minutes late and you're just out here?
Bridget: >> Because everyone, a few other people around you saw what you did and they're kind of like clapping you guys on your shoulder.
Bridget: Because people are starting to hear what you're saying, and they're looking at you.
Bridget: As you step up into the bar, you see Tawny in the front just sitting there like this.
Bridget: Oh, Chuffles and Patches has been talking loudly about what a fool they made of Tawny.
Bridget: So there are a bunch of demons and other groups of people just kind of like standing around them,
Bridget: But I don't, I mean, he only reconnected with you guys after the events of the island.
Bridget: Well, Connie follows you guys. You realize it's the time to meet the captain again.
Bridget: Meet back up with him. So you guys head back. Are you taking your floatable with you?
Bridget: the raft as he goes up the creek river. Sorry. And as he approaches the Kahuna wave,
Bridget: I'm being boarded. That's to be hearties. Looks like you got yourself your own ship.
Bridget: Oh, I bet I would. I appreciate your ingenuity, boys. And hey, now we've got a fleet.
Bridget: comes out onto the deck of the ship. And she sees Tawny and her face gets so bright.
Bridget: just like out of enjoyment and kind of like hooting and chattering. Not because she actually
Bridget: likes Tawny, but because with Tawny there, she's no longer the lowest monkey on the totem pole.
Bridget: No, sunburn. So you guys come aboard the ship and the captain is there. Hold on, let me
Bridget: even though some of you should considering your heritage, but Black Harp Night is the
Bridget: night that people fled teacher roads and they settled here on high water or high house, deep water.
Bridget: they're having a huge party. Everyone's gonna be there, the richest, the fanciest.
Bridget: And this, and this, this stitch, Paul kind of like, he has the, Paul's face doesn't really change.
Bridget: Love you Gilele. I've done some research. There is the finest of you Gilele. It's not even Gilele,
Bridget: it's a harp, the finest of hearts. Over somewhere in that house in High Hill. I'm gonna go and try
Bridget: to find it. If you guys wanna come with me, cause some mischief along the way. We'll have a great
Bridget: Oh, well that's a pretty good book. I mean, I could try. I could try to teach someone, Gilele.
Bridget: Uh, the captain goes with you like he said he would. Uh, and he leads you to the nicer part of town
Bridget: where we saw all those fancy houses. Uh, and the biggest, the fanciest one of the malls,
Bridget: the one right in front of you. It has, uh, uh, leads right out onto the water. It is full of
Bridget: lights. It's full of laughter. It's full of people. Black harp day is very similar to Halloween.
Bridget: So you see people in like their finest get up, but they are like scary get ups too. So they're
Bridget: like costumed, but it's a costume mall. And this is all demons that are here. You see,
Bridget: you know, demons that look a lot like squish. You see demons that are blue skinned. You've
Bridget: seen demons that you've never seen before. Black skinned gray, some that even don't
Bridget: Uh, his name is Lord Highhill. He just a rich guy. He's just your typical Richie boy.
Bridget: I mean, that's all that you guys know. I mean, that's all you've been introduced to.
Bridget: I don't think there's a specific disguise skill. I guess depending on how you play it,
Tiger: I think that's a different skill, isn't it? Is there a disguise skill or am I getting that confused with Star Wars?
Bridget: or you could try to make a costume that was pretty good, but, or prowl if you wanted to sneak in.
Bridget: Oh yes, as you guys approach the house, it doesn't look like you see any other humans,
Bridget: but it's kind of hard to tell because again, everyone is in pretty elaborate costume.
Bridget: you know, that looks like an old person face or like, yeah, or like ones with cigars and stuff.
Bridget: That's what it looks like. Like you see someone who's like clearly trying to be like
Tiger: So red captain, we just going to walk right through the front door. Is that what we're doing here?
Bridget: You have to find your own way into this party. Hide you in my trench coat. Where do you think
Bridget: Yeah, yeah, he walks into the house. He flashes his invitation and disappears into the house.
Bridget: but there are some guards posted inside on the second floor that are kind of walking from room
Bridget: Good, yeah, you climb up from the side of the building, you kind of like scurry on up to that
Bridget: first, it'd be the second floor, but there is quite a bit of a walking area on the second floor.
Bridget: As you're prowling through the different rooms, you see one room in particular that catches your eye.
Bridget: it's the servants entrance, but there are servants coming in and out and you are in a gray frock coat.
Tiger: Yeah. I mean, I thought that high water was kind of like Venice and that everything is connected by waterways.
Tiger: And I don't know. I saw everyone else wander off and I got back into the garbage raft.
Tiger: And, uh, I think I'm just gonna ride it around and see if there's perhaps a water entrance to the mansion.
Bridget: Yeah, so you go around the entire length of the building and come back and you find absolutely
Bridget: nothing and while that's occurring, somebody sees you paddling cuz it's like they can hear
Bridget: I think this guy's up to something he tells his partner and they reach into the water.
Bridget: I figure you're close enough to the shore. They reach into the water and they pull you out.
Bridget: take him over to the service corridor and hold him there. I'm gonna go get Lady High Hill.
Bridget: So they take you into the, and perhaps you see this as you're sitting in the shadows patches.
Bridget: You see them take shuffles into the servants quarters and into like one of the pantry rooms
Bridget: All right, no, there's still guards out there. Squish, you are on the second floor looking for an entrance.
Bridget: And another guard peeks out from around the corner and same thing. Hey, what are you doing over there?
Bridget: You're peeing out here. This is Lord High, this is Lord High Hill's house. This is his manner.
Bridget: No, the guest entrances or bathrooms are downstairs. You gotta come with me. I can't
Bridget: just let you go out like this and he calls another guard over to him and they move to take you in.
Bridget: They drag you back down to the first floor and they also take you in. And again, patches you see this
Bridget: while you're hiding out in the bushes. They drag Squish into the building, into the service
Bridget: corners and they throw you, they actually throw you in the same room as Chuckles and Salansador.
Bridget: Patches, now you are in the bushes. Do you wanna prowl and get inside the building?
Bridget: you were caught by one of the guards who shines a light on you and says three in one night.
Bridget: aware that there's a potential incursion in the house, on the house. And so without alerting any
Bridget: of the party guests, the house has gone on red alert. More guards kind of flood out of the building
Bridget: and there are lights everywhere, there are dogs barking. You are currently hidden,
Andy: No flashback. Flashback. We're sitting there right before I go into the bar. I find a
Andy: stall that is selling. Just like in the corner, like very far off to the table, on the table
Andy: to the side. There's mock picking equipment. So I buy then say this might come in handy
Andy: later for our tinkerer. So I would like to buy that. And then on the boat, the floaty
Andy: I say, Hey, Chuckles, we're going into this high secure place. You might want these. And
Bridget: I'm gonna say that's gonna cost five coin from what you've collected from the, yeah, from the
Andy: Five. No, you would have got it for free, but you decided to pay her to be able to make
Bridget: All right, yeah, so you have a pair of lock picking supplies and you have handed these off to
Andy: These are used to pick locks. I assume at least one of us is going to get thrown into some
Bridget: Yeah, the door opens and a very finely dressed female demon comes in. She is Lady Highhill.
Bridget: She is the daughter of Lord Highhill. She's a young woman and she takes a look at the two of you
