- Hello, and welcome
back to Dimension 20 Live
presents Fantasy High, Sophomore Year.
I'm your humble Dungeon
Master Brennan Lee Mulligan.
With us as sometimes are a
fraction of our Intrepid Heroes.
- Horrifying.
- Say hi Intrepid Heroes.
- Hi Intrepid Heroes.
- Oh my goodness.
Well you guys are watching the weekly game
here of the continuation of Fantasy High.
If you don't know what that is go to
and you can watch the entire first season
of Fantasy High right now.
This is our weekly game with the Bad Kids,
students at the Aguefort
Adventuring Academy.
Last week we established that they are
off to retrieve the crown
of the Nightmare King.
We began last week with something a
little bit more peaceful.
We moved into Mordrid Manor.
Indeed the school's guidance counselor
Jawbone O'Shaughnessey
and a border, sort of,
Park Ranger Sandra Lynn
Faeth have moved in together
and given homes to some of our PCs
including Kristen Applebees
and Adaine Abernant
who now live at Mordrid Manor,
a spooky old haunted house
up on Havershum Hill,
and having a nice little
life together here.
We also learned from Arthur Aguefort,
the Principal of the
Aguefort Adventuring Academy,
that retrieving the crown
of the Nightmare King
that went missing at
the end of last season,
was gonna constitute 60%
of your grade this year.
- Wee!
- Eek!
However you had some clues.
Adaine researched some lore,
Riz Gukgak, one of our
missing companions—
- Oh!
- Did some snooping around and Fig
had heard some gossip on tour—
- Oh!
- All that, sort of, picked up some leads.
You most promising lead was to make
your way to Fallinel where the captured
sister of the Elvin
Oracle, Aelwyn Abernant,
might have some clues as—
- Or we could go somewhere
else, that's also fine.
- That's also fine.
You guys got loaded with some cash
from defeating Kalvaxis
at the end of last season.
You guys put a lot of work into discussing
which hirelings and companions
you'd bring on your quest,
and you guys went to sleep knowing that
on the morrow you would embark
on your wonderful quest.
Now at the end of our very last session,
I'm afraid it got a
little bit more troubling.
Strange dreams haunted your nights.
Gorgug saw your companion and adventuring
party member Ragh Barkrock eyes bloody,
at the edge of a vast cliff overlooking
the stormy sea asking if you were his dad.
- Yeah, I'm not his dad.
- Fabian Seacaster fell
into endless darkness
astride The Hangman,
ringing of gold in your ear,
the void
yawning underneath you.
Kristen Applebees saw endless expanses
of pages blank
trying to draw a face
you couldn't recognize.
Adaine Abernant, not asleep
but in an Elvin trance,
saw herself drowning in the sea.
What Fig and Riz may have seen
is a matter truly not
important at this time.
- Mm, I feel it may be very important.
- Oh, maybe you feel that way.
But, you
might feel it's important
but I'm afraid for right now that's
a story truly for another time.
So instead we come back to a lovely
sunny morning here in
the town of Elmville—
- Don't you change the music like that.
- We come back to a lovely
sunny morning in Elmville.
Fabian you awake in Seacaster Manor,
your sheets and your wonderful, sort of,
like wealthy but like Spartan,
that kind of like
minimalist rich kid room,
your giant computer screen.
You're sweaty in the sheets.
Fabian what do you do as you awaken?
- Well the first I'd do is I'd look over
to the left side of my
large bed and I say,
"Soon, soon you will be filled."
And I get out of bed and I go,
"Cathilda, today is the day"--
- You see Cathilda opens the door,
comes in in her little
maids outfit and she says,
"All right Master Fabian, it's delightful.
"I'd be so happy to go on
this adventure with you.
"Are we beginning now?
"Should I go and get
out of me maid's outfit
"and ready you for the journey ahead?"
- "Of course I'm not gonna lie,
"I've never seen you wear
anything but your maid's outfit."
- "Uh oh, well old Master Seacaster,
"rest his soul, wanted me to be in uniform
"when I was at work but I'd be happy"--
- "But you have other clothes?"
- "Aye, I definitely do."
- "Like normal people,
"not other maid uniforms I'm assuming."
- "Yes I do, it's just"--
- "Just like a T-shirt?"
- "You'd rather me"--
- "Do you have a T-shirt?"
- "Some, yeah I have a few T-shirts."
- "Incredible."
- "Well this will be an opportunity for us
"to get to know one
another Master Fabian."
- "Wild!
"Also I'm very hungry so
if you could make me"--
- She reaches out behind
the door at the hallway
and pulls out a little room service tray,
takes the big silver tureen lid off.
And you see there's sliced peppered
and papriked avocado on some
rich rustic green bread.
- Ooh, yes, yes.
- There's a tall thing
of passion fruit juice.
There's like—
- "How much juice is in a passion fruit?
"I mean, I feel like you would've needed
"a lot of these to
prepare this much juice."
- "Well you can go out
and ask Scurvy Pete."
- "Scurvy, oh is he the one who pulls"--
- "Scurvy Pete's the
passion fruit juice guy."
- "Oh fantastic, there's so many questions
"I've never thought to
ask but since Papa passed
"it's been, you know?
"And I'm kind of a man of the house now."
- "That you are.
"Well I'll go and get ready and"--
- "Just go put on your
big T-shirt or whatever
"other clothes you have."
- "Oh Master Fabian this is going
"to be a delight, I'm sure."
- "I can't wait."
- Cathilda goes and heads off,
you get your breakfast head downstairs.
As you go downstairs you see...
Your mother has taken to wearing a
series of grieving kimonos.
So she's in a black silk kimono that
has a floral pattern but
it is black on black.
So it's just a texture
and light differential
that lets you kind of
see the floral pattern.
- That's so hot.
- She's the hottest dude.
- You see that she reaches
out, sort of again,
thick bags under her eyes,
still in the hangover
that's now many months old at this point.
You see that Gilear is there.
Gilear has got a short sleeve
plaid button up and slacks.
And she you see that he's also got
a lanyard around his thing
that says "Intern" on it.
He's got a little pen behind his ear
and a clipboard.
And you see that he has
a little crystal attached
to his belt in those middle-aged
man pager kind of things
with a surveillance that
goes around to his ear,
the little earpiece things.
You see that he's sitting there
having one hard-boiled egg,
and you see that your
mother is reaching out
and sort of scratching under this chin.
"Oh darling Fabian, my darling boy.
"How are you faring this morning?"
- "I'm good, some nightmares last night
"but I'm sure it's normal
before a big adventure."
- "Did you hjave some
terrifying dreams my darling?"
- "I mean, nothing that I'm sure Papa
"didn't have in his heyday,
darkness, and falling,
"and the sound of gold,
and all those things
"that prepare the mind for danger."
- "Oh yes, your father experienced
"tremendous night terrors
for most of his life.
"He had the most physically
active nightmares
"of any man I've ever known.
"He would leap from the bed fully naked,
"slashing at the air, would fire his g*n
"wildly in the room."
- "Oh, I dream of having
nightmares at the level of Papa."
- "There is no man that will ever equal
"your father Fabian except one."
You see Gilear kind of
looks up and she says,
"And I'm looking right at him my darling."
Gilear goes, Yes
of course, Master Fabian.
"Well Master Fabian, I'm about to go out
"on the coffee run for everybody."
- "Good."
- "Is there something you would like?"
- "Yeah, let me get a
half-caf macchiato, all right?
"And I want it upside down
and I want it with two shots
"and them to take one shot out.
"If anything is wrong with it I will
"kicking your f*cking a*s."
- Your mother puts a
dagger to your throat,
"If you're going to threaten someone
"that is a lover of mine,
you do it respectfully.
"Gilear, if you make a mistake on my son's
"coffee order physical violence
will be visited upon you.
"Do you understand?"
He goes, "None of this feels healthy.
"I'm going to adjourn to the local cafe.
"I have to go a couple blocks over,
"the one nearby banned me because too many
"of my debit cards failed.
"I will be back as soon as
I can with the coffee order.
"Fabian."
- "Yes Gilear?"
- "We're embarking on a journey together
"and it is my intention
that I do everything
"in my power to enable your heroic deeds.
"I appreciate the opportunity,
as again I am unemployed."
- "We're excited to have you Gilear.
"I'll tell you it's a dangerous,
dangerous world out there."
- "I am completely unprepared for the
"perils at hand and deeply frightened.
"I will go get the coffee."
And you see that he gets up
and walks away from the table.
Cathilda walks back in, you see that she's
wearing a sort of light gray very
comfortable looking
sweatshirt and sweatpants.
And has chunky white tennis shoes on.
And she's got a little aerobic headband.
- Great.
- Awesome!
- Wow, wow!
- That's just like my actual dad.
- "Wise Master Fabian,
well I'm prepared and
"ready to go then, this is a delight."
Oh, I'll go catch Gilear.
"I'm sorry Mr. Faeth, I'll like to put
"an order for myself."
- "Good, good."
- And you see she takes off.
So your mother looks at you and says,
"Well my dear darling, bon voyage and
"I wish you all the best on
your first mission abroad."
- "Yeah well it's time to
write my name upon the world."
- "That it is."
- "Indeed, you know just to be clear,
"Gilear could die while out and about.
"And I just want to make sure
you're prepared for that,
"it's just a very real possibility."
- "If Gilear doesn't come back,
"I will duel you on top of
Seacaster Manor 'til the death."
- "Okay, okay, love you."
- "I love you as well my
darling son.
"Kisses, have fun on your adventure."
- "Take care.
"I'm going to duel my mother
on top of Seacaster Manor."
- You get outside The Hangmen is just
in the driveway.
"Yes Master, long have I waited to
"hit the old dusty once again."
- "Ah yes, you know we're going somewhere
"there probably won't be
roads and people probably
"won't have seen motorcycles
and that, that's a good thing."
- "Let them see what they
have never seen before,
"let their fragile mortal minds
shatter against the chrome
"hull of my front wheel piece
- "Bike I love you like
this, I really do."
- "I'm feeling it right now for sure."
- "Yeah, yeah?"
- We cut over to the Thistlespring Tree.
Gorgug you awaken from your strange dreams
on the cliff with Ragh and you see indeed
that your mom and dad come in going,
"Hey there bud, breakfast in bed."
- "Oh hey mom, hey dad.
"I think I broke my bed again."
- "Oh shucks, that's all
right bud, that's okay.
"Well here, let's get."
You see that they start to go into
cast Mending and a big plate of breakfast.
- I'm just eating like 80 eggs.
- "This is so exciting.
"Now are you excited for
your big big journey?"
- "Yeah, I am really excited.
"I had kind of a crazy dream last night
"where I guess I saw
Ragh on this cliff side
"beside an ocean and his, I
don't know if this is bad,
"but his eyes were gone
and blood was coming out.
"And he asked me if I was his dad.
"So have you ever had that dream?"
- "Oh I've never had that dream bud
"but I'll tell you what, you know,
"it's like I've always said,
dreams are always significant
"because in this world magic is real."
- "Okay."
- "Yeah.
"Any dream you remember I would talk to
"a wizard or a sorcerer about every time."
- "Okay."
- "It's never not gonna come up later."
- "Really, okay?
- "Yeah."
- "I thought you were just gonna say
"maybe I had dinner
too late or something."
- "No, why?
"You had dinner with us last night."
- "Oh yeah, at 5:15."
- "Yeah, yeah for sure.
"No, dreams are deep and
significant, magic is real.
"You should take that very seriously."
- "Okay."
- "Try to get to the bottom of that."
- "Hey also, I feel like Zelda's mad at me
"and I kind of think"--
- You see that your dad
looks over at your mom
and they both immediately jump up into
mom and dad pose, sitting with their legs
off the side of the bed,
kind of turning their
full bodies over to look at you.
And they go, "Aww yeah."
- "Yeah, I feel like she's mad that
"I'm going out of town.
"And I don't know, I
feel like I was trying to
"talk to her about it yesterday but then
"she just hasn't texted me back yet."
- "Golly bud, well I'm sorry about that.
"How does that make you feel?"
- "It makes me feel sad."
- "Well yeah, yeah that is a little sad.
"You know, feelings are tricky because
"they're always real but
sometimes even though
"they matter, and they're
valid, and they're real,
"sometimes they're based as much on things
"that are happening only in our head
"as they are on things
happening in the real world.
"You know, Zelda looks at you and sees
"you about to go on a big
trip with all of your pals
"and she's gone on adventures with her
"adventuring party before
but this might be new to her.
"And, you know, it might not
be a reflection on you, bud.
"It might be a reflection on Zelda being
"worried about the relationship or maybe
"she's got insecurities about herself.
"Does that make sense?"
- "Yeah, I think that makes sense."
- "I think you're doing the right thing
"by trying to talk to
her about it, you know?
"Because, do you think that she's upset
"that you're leaving?"
- "I think that's part of it.
"I don't know that maybe she's, yeah,
"maybe she is worried about, I don't know,
"that like, I don't know what's
gonna happen on this trip.
"I'm not saying anything like that
"would happen on this trip."
- "Oh, you think she's
worried about infidelity?"
- "No, I didn't mean that but"--
- "You think she's really"--
- "Do you think she is?"
- "Well she might be.
"You're a handsome young fella."
- "I don't know."
- "You're a handsome young fella,
"you're out there adventuring,
"you're gallavanting, you know?"
- "No, that's not where my head's at."
- "No, well we know that's
not where your head's at,
"but, you know, fears don't
always have to be rational.
"That's the thing about fears, you know?
"We want them to always lineup A to B
"with the real risk in the world,
"but fear and risk they don't always
"stack up in the same amount.
"And that's just part of life.
"I will say this, I hope
you always keep your word
"and I hope you never
disappoint a partner of yours.
"If you've made a commitment to a partner
"that's your word and you
need to be honest with them.
"If you do commit an act of infidelity
"you gotta wrap it up, okay?
"'Cause you start sleeping around,
"one person becomes three, it becomes 10,
"and that's how people get HPV bud.
"That's how that happens."
- "Yeah, well"--
- "You know most people have it."
- "HPV?"
- "Yeah."
- "Oh okay."
- "Most people have it."
- "I didn't know what
happened in this conversation
"that made it go this way."
- "Well here's the thing, just 'cause you
"make one mistake doesn't mean I want you
"to make the rest."
- "Sure."
- "I want you to be faithful if that's
"what you've promised and that's the
"agreement that you and Zelda have.
"You should be faithful 'cause breaking
"a promise is not nice."
- "No."
- "But if you do make
a terrible mistake and,
"you know, go back on your word
"the least you can do is wrap it up.
"And if you do raw dog it, don't then
"go back and be afraid to tell the person,
"and sleep with them and
now they're sick too."
- "And then they're sick, okay."
- "Right, 'cause that's
how, the shame around
"STDs is how they spread.
"This is all in the binder, you know?
"We have a whole chapter
in the binder about STDS.
"And the stigma and shame around them,
"and the fact that things like infidelity,
"or adultery come in
and complicate the mix
"is a lot of how these
diseases spread, okay?
"The last thing we want is to
"have to take you to the clinic."
- "Can we, I gotta go I think.
"I'll bring the binder and"--
- "Was this helpful,
please bring the binder,
"please and show your friends."
- "Okay."
- "We have tried to show
your friends the binder.
"I know that you don't like
that or don't want that"--
- "I just don't think you
should bring it other events."
- "But we brought it to the Bloodrush game
"and that was wrong?"
- "Well yeah, it was wrong."
- "Okay all right, well
that's on us, I guess,
"and we're sorry."
- "Hey I just thought
of this, but you don't
"have any sort of cloaking
device or anything
"we can throw on our bikes?"
- "The last thing you
want to do is try to cloak
"or invisibilize an STD.
"If you start getting open rashes"--
- "That's not what I'm talking about."
- "You get a wart, or a boil, or a cyst
"or anything like that"--
- "Sure.
"Not talking about that."
- "Again shame is such a powerful tool
"on how these things"--
- "Mommy and dad.
"Mommy and dad."
- "Yeah?"
- "I'm not talking about that.
"I was wondering about, we're going to be
"adventuring to other places and
"I'm trying to figure out
how to mask our vehicles."
- "Oh, sure.
"We can see if there's some kind of
"cloaking device around, right?"
- "Cool."
- "Yeah.
"Keeping a vehicle secret can be really
"helpful in a covert operation.
"Keeping a disease secret
doesn't help anybody, okay?"
- "Lesson learned.
"Lesson learned."
- "Okay great.
"Well we'll get on that cloaking device."
- "Awesome, great."
- "All right.
"Remember feelings kind
of like STDs right?
"You gotta talk about 'em."
- "Okay."
- "All right bud."
You head out the door of the tree.
Kristen and Adaine are
over at Mordrid Manor.
Each of you guys give
me a little D20 roll,
we'll see who wakes up first.
- Oh, it's a race.
- A six.
- Three.
- Wow.
- Wow.
- Low win.
- A race to the bottom.
- 1PM to 2.
- Adaine you wake up right around dawn,
or no you come out of trance I should say.
You have a feeling at
the end of last session
you rolled a 10 on your Saving Throw.
- Yes.
- That was not high enough for
the effect that was happening
but you are a full elf
and you don't sleep.
As you awaken you intuit that,
you go something should've worked on me
and didn't because I'm
immune to sleep effects.
But something happened that should
have meant a certain thing.
Oh, by the way, Burn Towns Get Money.
If you guys haven't seen.
For those of you in the chat—
Last week, off hand I mentioned that the
modus operandi of Kalvaxis,
Emperor of the Red Race
was Burn Towns Get Money.
It's a shirt a week later.
- "Burn Towns Get Money."
- Honestly.
So what I would say is a hearty thank you
to all of you in the chat because
that was something we did
a bit about offhandedly.
You guys championed it in the chatroom
so hard that it became a shirt
less than 24 hours later.
- You have power.
- Having said that, don't
try to game the system.
Yay!
Unless it's funny.
- STDs, gotta talk about 'em.
- Gotta talk about 'em!
- Our new merch!
- Wrap 'em up bud!
- A T-shirt a week dude.
- A little gnome saying, "Wrap it up bud."
- I would like to cast Detect Magic.
- Ooh.
- Would that give me some info maybe?
I have to do it as a ritual,
so it's gonna take me 10 minutes.
- Cool, you take 10 minutes
to start doing that.
Bum, bum, bum, you do
cast the Detect Magic.
Go ahead and give me an
arcana check with advantage,
if you would be so kind.
- All right.
Ooh, I got a 22.
- Powerful enchantment magic.
- Okay.
- Something along the
lines you think of maybe,
the closest thing that
you've approximated to
that you've encountered in your last year
would be a suggestion or a command spell,
maybe something even more powerful.
- Okay.
- But it didn't work because you were
never fully asleep, but it might have.
- Ooh, I also cast Find
Familiar last night.
Appearing in front of you
in a small circle of silvery
Elvin runes on the ground,
it manifests first, you think it's smoke.
And then you see clearly
from how it's behaving
it is instead very cool water vapor.
It's water vapor.
And it gets more and more intense,
kind of spreading across the floor
but also pluming up in a
little.
And then you hear.
And you see this frog is, I want to say,
as close to spherical as a frog can get.
It is a perfectly round frog, it is...
You've made something that
is so classic that it's like,
I'm trying to think of how to phrase it.
It is so archetypically a frog that it
feels you with that feeling
of familiarity you get
from like, "Oh wow, a Coca
Cola bottle with the glass."
It's like the perfect thing.
It's like wow, the
perfect brand recognition
of what a frog is supposed to be.
Just sitting there, it's got
the cream green under-belly
with the like brilliant
lime green upper part,
and then the dark green freckles.
It's eyes are so large
and the pupils are large
with a lot of light spots on 'em,
so it looks like a sort of
Cheeby little plush frog thing.
- Cheeby!
- You see it also, it
miraculously has a collar
with a little name tag on it.
The name tag you see
is blank at the moment
and you can feel one last piece of the
spell waiting for you to name the frog.
The collar around something that is almost
the shape of a perfect spheroid,
just with big legs, and little forelegs.
It means that the collar is almost around
the widest part of the
frog but it is there.
And this little frog looks up at you.
- "I will name you Bogariel Frogariel...
"Or Boggy the Froggy for short."
And I like to pull out of
my Jacket of Useful Things
some kind of like...
Like Frog Bag.
- A Frog Bag?
- You reach into the jacket,
you pull out a Frog Bag
which you see is basically, it's like a
transparent cloth, if that makes sense.
Almost like a sort of textured
plastic wrap of some kind.
You see that it's got two segments:
There's a water portion, that has some
water logged small sticks and twigs in it.
And then an upper dry portion that
kind of has some like loose leaves and
a little packet of food in it.
And there's a little
froggy door for it to crawl
into the water part and
up into the other part.
Your frog, I would say,
is in it's round state
about big enough for you
to hold in your two hands.
- Aww!
- Great.
- So the bag is a little bit larger,
the bag is like a backpack-sized bag.
- Okay.
- But you see that Boggy jumps up
and goes.
Big ol' throat extends.
- "Oh no, it's too much.
"I'm gonna cry."
- Aww.
- "He's too cute, I'm too comforted by
"my emotional comfort animal.
"I feel so supported right now."
- Incredible.
You have your emotional support frog,
you do immediately feel better.
Give me an Insight check,
if you would be so kind.
- Mm-hmm.
11.
- Cool, I'm gonna say the DC here is 10,
just 'cause you're getting
Insight into yourself.
- Oh okay.
- Boggy feels so good and
as you're holding Boggy,
you see that your shoulders
relax and your jaw untightens.
As Jawbone has often
talked with you about,
he's like "Whenever you're
feeling in your", he's like,
you know Jawbone a million
times has been like,
"Whenever you feel trapped in your mind
"the way to get out is through your body.
"Relax your shoulders, breathe,
try to relax your jaw."
You realize that you're
stuff is tightened up
and that that dream had
messed you up a little bit.
And I think there's maybe a realization
or a piece of information
that comes to you
which is that, a Nightmare King
is something that
is rough to think about
in terms of your anxiety.
I think maybe as soon
as Boggy relaxes you,
it makes you recognize how
unrelaxed you were a moment ago.
But that realization is just a very minor,
it just occurs to you
mentally in that moment.
And there's that thought of what awaits
for you in the Forest
of the Nightmare King.
- "Great, I take my meds every
morning, I take my meds."
- You little alarm goes off on your
crystal and you take your meds,
and Boggy is there with you as well.
You see that as Boggy jumps, again,
Boggy is not a real frog,
Boggy is a magic frog.
So when he jumps—
- "He's real, how dare you.
"Magic is real and so is my frog."
- I should, let me rephrase,
he is not a natural frog
from the world of nature.
- Thank you.
- He is instead a magical mist frog.
And you see that when
he does a very long jump
he does about midway
through transform into mist,
and then kind of reconstitute
where he jumps to.
- Sick.
- Ooh!
- That's dope.
- So he —
- That's cool as hell.
- So he jumps, lands on your shoulder,
where he croaks very peaceably.
Boggy chills you right the hell out
because Boggy appears to have one mood
that you can see, which
is happy to be here g*ng.
- Great.
- He just looks around kind of excitedly,
taking in new information, and doesn't
seem to not just be
very excited to be here
and part of whatever is going on.
- Chill.
- You walk downstairs, Kristen you awaken.
What do you do as you awaken?
- "I think I start writing
in my dream journal.
"I've been trying to
keep a dream journal."
- Oh, as you awaken by the way,
you see that Tracker
is sitting on the edge
of the bed putting a
sort of like bathrobe on,
and going over to a candelabra
to take the secret passage
away back to her room.
- Cool.
- She leans over, give
you a kiss on the cheek,
and says, "I'm gonna try to sneak back
"before the grown ups are awake."
- "Oh yeah yeah, definitely
yeah yeah, cool."
- "How are you doing, are you okay?"
- "Yeah, I had a crazy dream but it was
"just like I couldn't draw.
"I guess I didn't really think drawing
"was that important to me but in the dream
"it was like, oh my God
I'm not able to draw."
I don't know what I was trying to draw.
Can I try to figure that out?
- Give me an Insight check.
- Okay, yeah!
Ooh, Nat 20!
Nat 20.
- It felt right.
- It felt right, all my
spells got a good roll of 20.
- I'm not gonna lie, I felt very confident
about that being a Nat 20.
- With a Nat 20, I'll tell you right now.
- Great.
- You examine the feelings of your dream,
you also have a very high wisdom,
so as you examine it, you were
trying to draw a face of
a person you don't know.
And suddenly you realized that the person
you don't know, ever
since you transitioned Yes
to Yes with a question mark.
You've been left in this position of doubt
which is comfortable to you because
the whole point of Yes
with a question mark,
which is like your new deity and
your new interpretation of your faith,
the whole purpose of that is that
doubt is fundamentally moral.
It is good to question things.
However your ability to not draw a face,
you realize that in that
moment what you were
trying to draw was a face
of familiarity and comfort.
With a Nat 20 you might've been trying
to draw the face of a God or draw the
face of something that you could worship.
And again with a Nat 20 Insight,
Yes with a question mark
is powerfully virtuous.
I think Kristen absolutely,
we've talked about Kristen a lot,
believes in the power of doubt.
But you're also realizing as you are
facing a force that has
to do with nightmares
you realize how little
comfort doubt provides.
- Mm, yes.
- Tracker's looking at you and says,
"You were talking about this for less than
"10 seconds and I literally watched your
"whole face change like
three times in a row
"as you like figured
a bunch of stuff out."
- "You know how we
worship Yes question mark?
"And it's like we don't
know but the people
"who believe in Helio get to go to sleep
"every night feeling safe.
"I think there's a very real moment
"for everyone who was
raised really religious,
"and then they say
actually that's not for me.
"There's a really scary
moment in the dark some night
"where they're like God
I wish I had that still.
"You know and I think
I think I just had a nightmare about that.
"Did we get a patent or anything,
"or can we still change the God?
- "What?"
"Can we still change the God?"
- "Can we still change the
God that we're worshiping?"
- "Kristen"--
- "Is there an Edit button?"
- "Kristen, you want to
edit your God of Doubt
"because you're not sure if
doubt is the right thing?"
- "I just think what if it was a sun?"
- "That's Helio, Kristen!"
- "Okay, okay, okay!"
- "That's Helio, look I don't, look"--
- "I just think what if there was a
"whole book written by
people who came before us,
"and they were kind of like this
"helps us sleep at night, you know?
"I'm doubting my doubt, there I said it."
- "You're reverse engineering
your way to the exact
"thing that you were certain
you need to abandon."
- "I know and there's not really a space
"for me with Helio, I'm
aware of that, okay?"
- "You know that Helio would
take you back in a second?"
- "Yes, but I would not be happy there.
"And Helio would be like,
'You need to marry a nice man'
"and that would be hard."
- "I don't want you to do that."
- "I want to marry you."
- "What?"
- "I mean in the future,
I mean in the future."
- "How, when in the future?"
- "I'm just saying,
"We need a little bit more
certainty in our lives.
"So I'm starting that right now,
"and I would like to marry you one day."
- "Kristen that toothpaste
is out of the tube."
- "One day I would love to marry you,
"I just think you have it all.
"And as a matter of fact,
I hate that I'm leaving you
"for this long and do you want to come?"
- She starts crying and is like—
- I start crying?
This is so g*y.
- She's like, "I thought
it was really messed up
"that you didn't ask me and I just assumed
"that it was because you
wanted me to stay here"--
- "No."
- "To like run the church."
- "That's crazy, the
church is a question mark.
"It's like no one needs
to run the church."
- "But no it does, we've
been doing it for months.
"Kristen, I still believe
in the goddess of the moon.
"I've been helping you with this because
"my goddess doesn't have any rules about
"worshiping other Gods
from other pantheons.
"She is extremely open
about revering other
"entities and forces but I
have my own personal faith.
"And I've been trying to help you because
"goddess of the moon is
also an ancient religion
"and it's sort of established
and it doesn't need a lot."
- "I think just I made
like, questioning everything
"should maybe be more
practiced and not my deity.
"I think I just put it
in the wrong category.
"You don't just gracefully move from,
"you don't just gracefully
lose your religion.
"You just kind of fall out of the Uber
"and you give 'em a one star review,
"and you know that's
gonna tank their career.
"And you got off at the wrong intersection
"and now you need to walk
'cause your phone died.
"You understand?"
- "No but I love you."
- "Oh I love you too.
"Will you please come with us?"
- "Yeah, I would love that."
- "Okay I need to go
convince everyone else
"but I'm sure it'll be easy."
- You just
can check-in with them,
"if there's a reason they
don't want me, that's fine."
- "No, they would be crazy 'cause
"we would love to have you.
"I just wasn't sure if you would
want to go on my homework."
- "No, look, I dropped out of high school,
"but we should tell the Book Club.
"We've gone on a lot of missions,
"we've been helping a lot of swamps."
- "I don't not believe in it, I just think
"it needs a little bit
more substance, you know?
"My belief can't be that there
"is nothing to believe."
- "Look, I won't lie.
"The thing I love the most about you is
"that you're always on an adventure,
"and the fact that most
of it is in your own head
"is beautiful."
- "Thank you."
- "I mean that.
"I really mean that."
- "It is exhausting but I think
"I'm gonna get there eventually.
"It's the climb"--
- "Look.
"I was bitten by a werewolf
when I was 13 years old.
"I got my first Cleric
Spells the next time
"that the full moon happened.
"All I have to do is spill blood,
"say the words, believe in the rituals
"when it happens, and
it's extremely primal.
"Like my faith is mostly in my body,
"it's physical, it's part of me.
"And where and how it
intersects with my moral self
"is a matter of the stories and legends
"from my faith but it also has so much
"flexibility that the questions that my
"faith can't answer, I
can answer with you guys,
"and the world, and society.
"So that works for me, it's very simple
"and its toned down
and it's something that
"I love and it gives me a lot of strength.
"But I would go crazy if I
was on the journey you're on.
"So, I just wanna support you,
and I wanna be here for you,
"and I wanna make sure that there are
"moments where you get
out of your own head."
- "Yeah totally.
"I think that happens...
"I can't name the times right
now when I'm out of my head
"but I know it happens."
- "I can get you out of your head."
- We f*ck.
- Yo, a fly flew into your coffee
and I just don't want you to drink it.
- What?
- This is crazy, like this whole intimate
scene was happening and this fly was just
walking around your coffee.
And my greatest fear
was that you were in the
middle of the scene and
were just gonna go,
and I was gonna have to know.
- Protein.
- Is it gone?
- I don't see it—
- okay, thank God.
- But it is coffee, so—
- Yeah, anyway, they f*ck.
- It's in a little bikini.
- Fabian and Gorgug, you
guys arrive at Mordrid Manor.
- "Is Gilear here?"
- "He's getting coffee,
he'll be here soon."
- "Oh, can he put in my order?"
- "Oh yeah, I'll text
him, what did you want?"
- "Can I get a hot chocolate
with a shot of decaf?"
- "Uh huh, and if he gets anything wrong,
"I'm gonna threaten to enact
physical violence on him."
- "Oh okay, you don't have to."
- "I just have to say it that way because
"I said I was gonna kick his a*s"--
- "Can I get a peppermint
mocha but no violence please?"
- "Oh, we'll see to it, yes.
"Okay, peppermint mocha.
"Are you sure, if he gets it wrong"--
- "I'm positive."
- "You don't have to do it, I'm happy to."
- "I feel like you're
threatening him enough."
- " There's no such thing.
"I mean especially,
where's Fig, is Fig here?"
- "Oh, she's not up."
- Everyone give me a Perception
check if you be so kind.
- "I've been threatening
him with such wild abandon,
"and no one said anything so"--
- 12.
- What do you want, Perception?
- Perception.
- 15.
- 15.
- 13.
- Gorgug you immediately notice
that the tour bus is gone.
- "Oh what?"
- "I guess the bus isn't here."
- Can I go in and play the chord on the
piano that opens up her room?
- Opens up Fig's room?
All her touring suitcases are gone.
- "What the hell?"
- "And where's The Ball,
is The Ball not here?
"Hey one second, I'm
gonna call The Ball"--
- "I'm gonna call Fig."
- "Can I call The Ball?"
- You go in your crystal to the contact
that just says, "The Ball".
Call it and it goes straight to voicemail.
- "Something is horribly wrong.
"I just called The Ball and
it went straight to voicemail.
"That has never happened.
"Every time I have ever called The Ball
"he has picked up honestly
quicker than I thought possible.
"Something is very wrong."
- "Can I call Sklonda?"
- "Is Sandra Lynn here?"
- As you say that, you see that Baxter
descends from the sky and
Sandra Lynn Faeth leaps off.
She's got her bow,
multiple quivers of arrows,
but is dressed in that, like,
she has crocodile hunter getup,
like the short khaki shorts,
the khaki's short sleeve button up.
You see that she's got
thick chunky hiking boots,
like those big big hiking boots.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- She comes off, she's got a little
zinc on the sides of her nose.
She just jumps off and starts tossing
water bottles and starts going,
"Sunscreen, sunscreen,
sunscreen, sunscreen."
- "Great, we're having
kind of an emergency,
"but also real quick, do
you want coffee or anything?
"Gilear is making a run."
- "Oh Gilear."
- "Oh, I'm sorry, yeah that's
a whole thing with you.
"I'm sorry I'm not, Figs not here
"and so that's throwing me off."
- "Figs not here and neither is Riz."
- "What do you mean Fig
is, is she still asleep?'
- "Fig is gone and"--
- "And the bus is gone."
- "And Riz we're not quite sure about."
- "The Ball is in trouble,
I can tell you that,
"he would've picked up.
"That's crazy."
- "All right, all right,
calm down, calm down."
- "Do you have his mom's number?
"I don't have it."
- "I do have Sklonda's number, hold on."
She picks it up, she stays
on the crystal for a minute.
She goes, "Hi Sklonda, it's Sandra Lynn.
Oh certainly,
no it was, it was so fun."
- "It seems like they're"--
- "Yeah."
- "Catching up? It's fine"--
- "I have a coffee order,
if you have a second."
- "Oh yeah, of course, what do you want?"
- "I just want a cortado."
- "Okay great."
- "And then I want no milk at all"--
- "No milk."
- "And I do want it iced."
- "Great, and if it's not"--
- "In a cortado, you don't want any milk?"
- "No milk, no foam."
- "Okay, yep."
- "I do want it iced and I would like it
"tea-based instead of coffee based."
- "Do you know what a cortado is?"
- "What's a cortado?"
- "Great, I can do that."
- "That's not what a cortado is."
- "Tea-based instead of
coffee based and some lemon."
- "Honestly, the fact that this is complex
"and maybe impossible is perfect.
"Are you all right if I threaten
"physical violence should he not comply?"
- "I don't know."
- "Should I get a cortado?"
- "You should definitely, yeah."
- "That's not what a cortado is,
"that's just tea with lemon."
- "Do you want a cortado?"
- "I want it iced."
- "An iced tea with lemon."
- "And some lemonade maybe."
- "I'll get a cortado."
- "Right another cortado.
"The tea one or a normal cortado?"
- "What's that?"
- "The tea one or the normal cortado?"
- "I thought it's only the tea one,
"there's a type that's
other than the tea one?"
- "Oh great fantastic.
"Oh yeah, I'm gonna beat him so hard.
"What's up, what did you want?"
- "I think it's a hot chocolate,
"shot of decaf, short of a cortado."
- "Short of a cortado.
"I'm loving this, a short of
a cortado, anything else?"
- "But in my decaf."
- "A shot of a cortado."
- "Decaf shot.
"So what would be the size of a shot
"inside that shot cortado."
- "I'm just changing
mine to a black coffee."
- "Great and a"--
- "Very simple no violence."
- "Watch him get that wrong."
- "I'm gonna make sure to go get both
"just so he has two
opportunities to mess it up.
"Boom, coffee's ordered,
is The Ball dead?"
- As soon as he
closes the thing,
she says, "Sklonda is downtown
at the Elm Valley Mall.
"There's been what looks
like a robbery down there."
- Oh God.
- "She is heading off to look,
"she just called and didn't
get an answer from him either.
"He didn't come home last night.
"So he was at his new office.
"I can fly to the bus depot
real quick and just see
"if the tour bus is getting
returned or something.
"Do you wanna head to Riz's office?"
- "To Riz's office."
- "I will head to the office."
- "Yeah, let's go."
- "Yeah, let's head to Riz's office."
- "And we checked Fig's
room, so you're gonna
"check for Fig at the bus depot?"
- "Yes"--
- "Can we borrow Jawbone's car?"
- "I can see if I can get
my parent's van."
- "Oh hell yeah."
- You see that she looks at you and says,
"You're welcome to just go ask Jawbone
"but I'm sure he'd be fine with you guys
"taking the car if you just want to run.
"I don't think there's
any reason to freak out.
"Fig does her own thing a lot,
"I'm gonna go see if
she's returning the bus.
"The Riz this is upsetting,
go check out the office.
"He might've just been up
all night and passed out,
"so go check on him."
- "Hey before we go to Riz's, and this is
"very important but I just want to float
"another person by you guys
who is really strong"--
- "You wanna bring Tracker?"
- "Yeah."
- "Instead of Gilear?"
- "Yeah!"
- "No, Gilear is coming."
- "Okay then in addition to Gilear."
- "Okay I have one rule to bring Tracker,
"which I think is a good idea,
"and it's more of a request than a rule.
- "Okay."
- "Please don't have sex
in the tent with us."
- "What, what do you think I would just
"have sex with just you in the tent?"
- "No, with Tracker when we
were in the tent with you."
- "Okay."
- "Don't have sex with Tracker when we
"are in the tent with you."
- "What if I don't know
that you're in there?"
- "You will."
- "You should just know who's in a tent."
- "Yeah, it's not a big tent."
- "I mean definitely, what,
do you think I'm trying
"to have public sex
in front of you guys?
"No, that's crazy."
- "I don't know, you
guys are big kink peep,
"I don't know like
voyeur might be like a"--
- "Wow!"
- "I don't know."
- "All right, yes it is my
number three on my kink test.
"Okay, yes fine."
- You see Tracker walks out.
Tracker looks and says,
"I'm really excited
"to come along guys, thank you so much."
- "Yes!"
- "I will do my best not to
mess with the bad kids vibe.
"I know that Kristen is really"--
- "Oh Tracker, you are
absolutely an honorary bad kid."
- "Okay, yeah sure.
"We should talk about that before we
"give out anymore honorary bad kid"--
- "I said honorary, it's Tracker."
- "We just can't add any, you have
"to consult the Bad Kids"--
- "We are adding her.
"She's an honorary Bad Kid."
- "Well Gilear is also a Bad Kid."
- "Do you have a coffee order?"
- "Oh is Gilear, oh yeah,
do you have a coffee order?"
- "Yeah, can I just get a cortado?"
- "Tea Variety or"--
- "What kind of cortado?"
- "There's a tea cortado?"
- "Do you want the cortado"--
- "No there isn't."
- "Cortado, take out
the milk, add lemonade,
"sub the coffee for iced tea."
- "Can I just get a black
coffee, two shots of espresso?"
- "Yep, and is all right if
I threaten physical violence
"if it's not perfectly made
and as you ordered it?"
- "Who are you threatening?"
- "Gilear."
- "I'm gonna have to
revoke that and I'm sorry
"I'm already getting on
Fabian's sh*t list"--
- "Oh, come on!"
- "But that's how it is."
- "I will do my best
to get not in your way.
"I think having another healer
along makes a lot of sense.
"Also I can't be hurt by
stuff that isn't silver,
"so that should come in handy."
- "Oh rad!"
- "Awesome."
- "Chill."
- "Is that the same for Jawbone?"
- "Mm-hmm.
- "Yeah, it's a part of lycanthropy.
"You guys will have to
chain me up on full moons
"or I'll go crazy and attack."
- "I think I can handle that."
- "Oh no, don't make it a thing."
- "Wait, is this our
first vacation together?"
- "This is our first vacation!"
- "It's not a vacation."
- "Babe!"
- "We're saving the world."
- "Yes, this is 60% of
our grade, all right?
- "Also it's 60% of our grade."
- "How about you guys won't be crying
"when we're freaking 69ing
and healing all of you guys."
- "All right, I am going
to go check on The Ball
"and I can take one person with me"--
- "What?"
- "No, there's nothing
wrong with 69, I'm just"--
- "You guys have no idea
that that's how I heal,
"there just hasn't been the nine there."
- You see that Tracker
looks at you and says,
"I actually should go, if you guys want
"to go check on that,
that makes a ton of sense.
"I should go and send crystal
mail and stuff like that."
- "Yeah, get some packed and stuff."
- "I texted Craig about
canceling the church
"and he said it should probably be fine."
- "Oh great, oh great!
"Okay cool.
"So it's just a whisper of a
church that we were running?"
- "It turns out that mostly it was Craig
"and Craig actually has been at church
"waiting for a sermon for a little while."
- "Oh sh**t, oh okay."
- "'Cause I guess we missed the last one."
- "I appreciate it so much."
- "I guess, yeah, I text
Craig and I was like,
'Hey maybe this God was stupid or bad
'and we're not sure if it's happening.'
"And Craig was super, you can read it."
And you just read a text that's like,
"Not a problem,
miscommunication on my part.
"Truly so excited for whatever God
"you guys come up with next."
- "Awesome."
- "Really need something in my life,
"don't like anything out on the market."
- Amen, Craig, amen.
- "Craig is ride or die."
- "Craig is great."
- "Yeah, Craig's great.
"And he's pretty much the only person
"that's be reliably showing up.
"So I feel like as your one follower,
"Craig will hang tight."
- "Cool, cool, cool.
"Oh wait, you didn't see The
Ball or Fig or anything right?
- "No, I was in the
room with you, I mean",
you see Sandra Lynn looks
over and she's like,
"I was in my own room
sleeping last night."
- "Yeah, yeah."
- "So yep, for sure."
- "Totally."
- And you see the —
- "Did you guys meet my frog?"
- "I'll tell ya', I look at that frog
"and I just feel good, you know?"
- "Right?"
- "Yes!"
- "It's just very on brand, I love it."
- "It's so joyful."
- "It's like the perfect plush.
"You just gotta buy it."
- "Yeah exactly."
- "You wanna give him a little squish?"
- What's his name?"
- "Boggy."
- "What's that?"
- "Bogariel Frogariel."
- "Oh it's like Mitt Romney's Twitter.
"It's so cute."
- As you squeeze Boggy you see that
much like a water balloon
as you squeeze Boggy,
the other parts of him expand
away from where you squeeze.
- Oh, that's oh!
- And he does make a ribbit
noise as you do that.
- Oh cute.
- He seems to like it.
- "I mean I got to."
- That's cute.
- That's fun.
Oh that'll be good to have.
- That's fun.
- Cool, so Jawbone's
car is there if you guys
want to go to Riz's
office and check it out.
- "Yeah, let's do that."
- "Let's go."
- Cool, you hop in the car—
- "I don't hope in the car all
right, I have a motorcycle."
- You have a motorcycle.
The rest of you guys hop in the car—
- "Shotgun!"
- Adaine goes "Shotgun", who's driving?
- "Tracker I would guess, right?"
- "Oh Fig's not here, oh."
- Tracker's gotta go
shut down church stuff.
- "Oh right."
- "I can give it a shot.
"If you want to drive, I
guess you can drive too."
- "Ooh yes, I'm definitely gonna ride
"my motorcycle in that case."
- "I'm gonna hop on the
motorcycle with Fabian actually."
- "Honestly, great call."
- As you get on The Hangman
speaks to you Fabian
and says, "Master."
- Nope, not even.
We're not even, no, not even close.
She's doing her own thing.
- "I think that what happens in the tent
"should stay in the tent."
- What?
- "Just so you know, I guess my motorcycle
"was listening to the conversation before.
"It's very down with you
having sex with Tracker"--
- "That's great."
- "Master."
- "Yes?"
- "We might learn some stuff
for when we rescue Aelwyn.
"If stuff happens in the tent, you know?"
- "Hangman, I don't need to
learn anything all right?
"I know how to kiss, all right.
"My kisses are perfect."
- "No."
- "Do you kiss The Hangman?"
- "I'm sorry, I thought I was talking
"to The Hangman in my eye.
"Nah, I"--
- From the window of Jawbone's car,
"Yeah, do you kiss The Hangman?"
- "No, I don't kiss, I kiss"--
- "I would also like to know that."
- "I don't kiss"--
- "Come on."
- "'Cause The Hangman is much more
"human than my b*tch sister."
- "All right, we don't need to be making
"judgment calls about anyone.
"I don't kiss The Hangman, do not put that
"on a crystal book or christor"--
- I'm just saying if we're all honest,
we've all kissed a wall or
a doorframe at some point.
So you probably kissed The Hangman.
- "And I was thinking should I have
kissed a wall or a doorframe?
Oh God.
- You guys take off, you see that-
so who is driving between
Adaine and Gorgug?
- I guess Gorgug.
- I think Gorgug is driving.
- Gorgug, so Gorgug you
do have an advantage
on Dexterity Saving Throws
in case anything bad happens.
- Great.
- Awesome.
- But as you get into the car you see
coming out onto the weird spooky veranda
of the haunted house is Jawbone.
Jawbone has taken to domestic
living so well in this house.
He is truly only wearing
a pair of tighty whities
over his extremely furry body.
- Oh no.
- He's got his little glasses and he
raises a big cup of coffee and goes,
"Hell yeah brother, take
her easy out there pal."
- "I will, I started sweating
immediately when I"--
- "That's all right, do you drive stick?"
- "Do I drive stick?"
- "Do you drive stick?"
- "I will figure it out."
- "Just you gotta use the clutch brother.
"Have a good one my mate."
- "The clutch so all
right, just gotta get it
"in to the second gear."
- "But it's on the floor.
"The clutch is on the floor."
- "I know, wait, what am I holding?"
- "What is that?"
- "That's the NOS."
- "And it's down on the ground."
- "That's the NOS?
"Oh, oh."
- You see Jawbone raised
the coffee and he's like,
"All right, it looks like old Jawbone's
"got the place to himself this morning.
"Lets get some of these cobwebs down."
- Aww.
- You could hear some
music from an old record,
just like some Samba music as Jawbone
goes and starts cleaning the house.
You guys take off, you go
all the way to downtown,
or actually sorry, this is in Ballister.
You head to Ballister where the strong
Strongtower Luxury Apartments are.
There is an old stone art
decoey kind of building.
This is a little bit more populated,
so it's not the sort of two story houses
of north of the river.
This is a bit more urban
down in this part of Elmville
As you guys arrive, yeah you see
this little office building.
There appear to be
buzzers, it's one of those
office buildings that
doesn't have an open lobby.
You gotta still buzz into it.
But as you guys approach,
you park the car, no sweat.
Actually just go ahead and just give me
a Dexterity check if you'd be so kind.
- Okay, just raw, not with an advantage?
- Not with advantage.
- So a seven.
- Seven.
You figure out what the
transmission of this, yeah,
you've messed this car up.
This car, you get where you're going
but there's a lot of
honking and angry people.
- "Go around."
- "Sorry."
I'm just clinging onto
Boggy for dear life."
- Aww.
- Trying not to backseat drive.
- Trying not to backseat drive.
You guys arrive eventually.
Yeah, you see this little office building
and there's a little locked door,
but you know that Riz's office
is up on the third floor.
- Is there a buzzer for Riz's office?
- Yeah, for sure.
- Push it.
- Push it,
Nothing appears to happen, no response.
- "All right, we're going inside."
The door won't open?
- Yeah, it's locked.
- You don't have knock do you?
- Thieves tools?
- I don't have knock.
Can I maybe use, can Mage
Hand go through doors?
- You can cast it to create
on the other side of the door.
- Great can I do that and try and
open it from the other side?
- Like a lot of office buildings,
it's openable from the
inside for people leaving.
So, you just cast Mage Hand,
open it from the other side,
and you are in.
- Cool.
- Fantastic.
- "So close to breaking it, so close."
- "Let's try not to.
"I also cast Mending on the
car as we're going upstairs."
- Cast Mending on the car, fix
it a little bit.
- "Thank you."
- "You're welcome.
"Yeah, no, it was for me as well.
"I didn't wanna..."
- "It was for me as well."
- You guys walk up into
the third floor and you see
the little golden lettering
on the frosted glass,
"Riz Gukgak, Licensed
Private Investigator."
- "Alright, which one of
these offices is The Ball's?
"I don't see, that doesn't say The Ball."
- "Knock, knock, knock."
- "His name is Riz."
- "I always forget that."
- No response.
- No response.
- "His name is Riz,
"this is his."
- "Oh."
- Try and open the door.
- This one's locked as well.
- Can I try the same trick?
- You try the same trick
and it doesn't work.
Maybe Riz is a little bit more paranoid
but, yeah, it does not work.
- "Riz!"
- Is there a code or anything,
or it's just straight up key?
- Looks like a straight up key
- "Oh, The Ball."
- Can we check for keys, hidden for him,
like under a mat or—
- Can I put a piece of paper underneath
the door and hit the door?
- What's that? Put a piece—
- To see if a key drops
down to the other side.
- Oh, you push the piece of paper,
hit it to see if a key
drops to the other side.
Give me just a Pure Luck roll on a D-20.
- Four.
- Four.
- I saw this in a movie once.
- You hit the door, as you hit the door
you hear a and
little dart sticks you to here.
Some trap that Riz has set up.
- Oh great.
- Oh great.
- "All right, f*ck this,
I'll kick the door."
- Go ahead and give me an Athletics check.
- Oh come on.
Oh, I have advantage on those.
- Only when you're jumping.
- No, only when I'm jumping.
Great, it's a nine.
- Nine, bam, you kick the
door it does not open.
- Come on.
- I cast Misty Step and
I go through the door.
- Cool, you
Misty Step through the door.
You
appear on the other side.
- "Be careful."
- Yeah, as you are in here...
You see signs of struggle in here.
- "Uh oh, guys it's bad."
Is there a key?
- "Open, let us in!"
- "Open up the door!"
- You look around, it's
one of those old buildings.
So it's the thing where there's a keyhole
on both sides of the
door, so there's not a
locking mechanism over
here on the other side.
- Oh okay.
- "You guys want me to do it?"
- Yeah can I do an Investigate check for—
- A key?
- Yeah go for it.
- Yeah, 25, 24.
- Oh hell yeah, you start looking around,
you do find a spare key in here.
- Can I try to break the door down?
- Yeah, go for it.
- "Don't break the door down!"
- 19.
- Plus your Athletics?
- Yes, so...
27.
- I have they key in the lock.
- Fully off the hinges.
Bam!
- "Great, it was loosened.
"Let's all just admit
that it was loosened."
- "Okay, okay."
- "I kicked it hard."
- "Okay, whoa this place looks crazy."
- Adaine, as you find the key here,
you see first of all, all of Riz's crazy
Pepe Silvia-esque yarn
going from one thing,
conspiracy theory detective stuff.
There's also a lot of file boxes.
So you that there's like a big file box
over in the corner that
has Missing Maidens
A.K.A. The Kalvaxis Caper closed!
- Caper.
- Yeah, the case of The Missing Maidens
A.K.A. The Kalvaxis Caper.
- Is caper spelled with a K?
- Yes.
You see that as you are looking around,
the thing that you see
like in the struggle here.
What you also notice is there's definite
signs of struggle, b*llet holes as well.
- Oh, Riz's b*ll*ts?
- Riz's b*ll*ts.
You also see that there is no blood.
So you've seen when Zayn
Darkshadow was k*lled,
you saw under the blacklight,
there's blood and stuff like that.
So there was a struggle here,
Riz was fighting something
but whatever it was it
wasn't injuring Riz...
Or it wasn't injuring him
in a way that drew blood.
- Okay.
- However you see some
little goblin claw marks,
as though Riz was
dragged across the floor.
- Oh no.
- Those claw marks lead
to a standing mirror.
There is also something
in the wooden floorboards
that the claws lead to as though the claws
were attempting to manipulate something
at a certain section of floorboard.
- Can I open that floorboard?
- Yeah, go for it.
It doesn't seem immediately obvious to you
but I think with—
- Can I just like bang,
bang, bang, bang, bang, bang?
- Boom, boom, boom.
- As you go bang, bang,
bang, as it pops up
you see that a
little compartment opens up in the floor.
There is a photograph in there.
It is an old photograph of an extremely
handsome goblin man in a tuxedo
with a pencil mustache and a coif of hair.
And because Riz Gukgak is
a very private young boy,
I don't think of you
actually know who this is.
- But does it look enough like him
that we would be like,
"I think that's his dad?"
- Yeah, you can probably guess, for sure.
You know that his dad passed away.
- Yeah.
- Does it have a name on the back
of it or anything like that?
- What you see is this,
it's like a c*ck party.
And Pok Gukgak, Riz's dad, has his arm
around nothing and is raising a glass.
And there is like red marker, dry erase,
not ruining the photo.
But there's like red dry erase marker
over and over in the space of where
Pok Gukgak's empty arm is as
he's like raising a glass.
- Can I do an Investigate
to see if there are
any other photos with Riz
in them in this office?
- Sure, do an Investigation check.
- Can I do an Arcana check on this photo?
- Ooh, can I do Religion?
- Yeah.
- Can I do an Investigate check for
things with my name on them?
- I guess I'm going to
investigate just in general.
- 19.
- I got a 21 on my Arcana for this photo.
- 21 Arcana.
- 19 to find photos of
Riz in a religious way.
- A 19 religion check?
- Mm-hmm, yeah, just like aww is this?
God I gotta just—
- Oh I am so doubtful.
- I'm so doubtful.
- I got an 18 Investigate check.
- 18 investigate check, cool.
- I got an eight Investigate check
looking for things with
the word Fabian on them.
- You don't find anything and you
even look in the old Kalvaxis stuff,
and you're like where's
my name in any of this.
- "Why doesn't he have any?
Come on Riz."
- So we'll start with the 18 Investigate,
what kind of stuff is Gorgug looking for?
- I think Gorgug is still worried about
the dream he had last night and something
about that picture is
really creepy to him.
So if there's any sort of—
- Just creepy sh*t.
- Yeah, anything creepy.
- I think you probably follow
the trail to the mirror.
You go close up to the mirror,
you're just sort of looking
into the standing mirror.
And with an 18 Investigate...
Okay, I'm gonna give you this and let
you guys do a little real world sleuthing.
The claw marks on the floor that you see
go all the way to the
very base of the mirror.
- Can I move the mirror to
see if they continue beyond?
- They don't, they don't.
And you don't see a trapped door behind
the mirror or anything else like that.
I think Gorgug is just
gonna touch the mirror.
- Awesome, we'll get to that in a sec.
- Oh no.
- Great!
- I'm looking for photos that might've
had Riz in them around his office,
group photos, or photos with his mom.
- You find a little photo on his desk
that is him as a baby with
a police officer's hat
before his mom was a full detective.
It's on the day that she joined,
not the day she joined the force
but a ceremony where she
was awarded with a medal
and was in her policeman's uniform.
The kind of like regalia and Riz is
a little baby in a diaper
on a kitchen table,
and she's in uniform next to him.
And he's got her hat,
it's too big for his head
but it's pushing his big
pointy ears down onto his head.
Other than that, you only find him
in photographs that are incidental.
You stuff works like this
is part of the larger case,
so like a photo of him with
Penny and the Kalvaxis stuff—
- But he is showing up in photos?
- Correct.
- He hasn't been like erased
or anything like that?
- He has not been.
- And his mom.
- And his mom, she's in photos also.
- So who is this person that went
missing that isn't Sklonda?
- Are there any other
photos with people missing?
- That's a great thing to
add, I just put together.
Sklonda is not missing.
- Yeah.
- Right.
So that's what you find there.
With the 21 Arcana, what kind of
stuff is Adaine looking for?
- I'm just tryna figure out is this
person who presumably disappeared from
this photograph, is this a magical effect
that is on this specific
photograph, I guess,
or is this something that is a wider,
sort of, worldwide situation?
- Cool.
Are you supplementing your Arcana check
with any magic casting,
any divinatory stuff?
- Let me see if I have anything
that's actually useful that's prepped.
- No worries, if not.
- Yeah, I don't think I have anything.
- Or like a Detect Magic
or anything else like that?
- Yeah, I mean, I guess I can
do Detect Magic as a ritual.
- Cool, so if you start,
so what actually I'll just say with that
21 Arcana before you cast Detect Magic,
you're looking at this.
There is like a conspicuous
absence of magic here.
- Wow.
- Does that make sense?
You're looking at it and it seems-
- Yeah.
- Like a cleanup.
- It seems so mundane.
- Like they've wiped the prints off of it.
- Something like that almost.
But you're looking at with that,
also with that Arcana
is that it's not quite
Arcana but just with a high
intelligence based-role.
You know that Pok is not doing a bit,
you know that his arm is—
- Just the way that the
folds of his clothes
are folded are something?
- Well actually what's
interesting is his arm...
His clothing is not folded as it
would be if there was
something invisible there.
- Huh.
- Isn't that interesting?
Yeah, for sure.
- Yeah.
- So it's not like
there's an invisible force
that's clearly manipulating something.
On his arm, it looks like his ar
is just hanging out free in air,
like he's miming, doing something.
But on his face, he's clearly matching
someone giving a cheers.
- Where's Sklonda right now?
- She said that she was off looking for,
she was investigating a
robbery at the Elm Valley Mall.
- Can I take a photo
with my crystal of this
and ask who was in this
photo with Pok to her?
- You send that text—
- To 911 I guess, since I
don't know why I would have—
- Sklonda's—
- Number.
- Personal number.
- So you're taking a
picture for sure, as you do,
Gorgug you put your hand on the mirror.
Go ahead and give me Wisdom Saving Throw.
- Uh oh.
- Four.
- You get a 19 on that actually.
- Christ.
- I'm getting your 14 roll.
- Yes, you're getting my 14 roll.
- 19 plus one.
- Adaine, you're examining the photograph,
you see six seconds in the future.
In the majority of futures
your head is chopped off
by a raging Gorgug who has lost control.
You grab him a second before
his hand touches the mirror.
- "You know what?"
- "Nope, nope."
- "Don't touch it?"
- "Bad, nope."
- "I usually don't find things."
- Did he find, what?
- My Detect Magic is still going, can I—
- You finish the ritual as Gorgug
steps back from the mirror.
So you guys see Adaine start doing her
whole sh*t looking at this mirror.
Adaine finally your eyes
glow white.
You look and see a normal
reflection of the office,
that doesn't change at
all, but appearing in the
mirror is claw marks
that do not have symmetry
to the claw marks in
this room on the floor.
And lying in the middle of the room
is Riz Gukgak.
Every limb of his body and his head
is contorted at horrifying angles.
His head has been fully twisted around,
arm dislocated, folded back around,
lying not in a knot but a
jumble of disjointedness.
- "Oh my God!
"Can anybody else, can you see?"
- None.
- "Riz, he's on the other
side of the mirror I think."
- As Adaine says that
you guys see smokeily
Riz's body start to appear, as
Adaine starts to describe it.
- "Whoa!"
- "We have to"--
- "Why couldn't you
touch it is it cursed?"
- "I think it was gonna make him mad."
- "All right well we have to"--
- Can I cast dispel magic on this mirror?
- You absolutely can.
I'm going to need a roll
of attempting to dismount.
- Before we do this, can I
cast Bless on these three?
- Yes, go for it.
- Great, you guys are all blessed.
- Can I give you the Hell Faction?
- Oh I get the help action from—
- Your familiar.
- From my familiar.
- Aww cute! Perfect boys.
- Boggy.
- It's DC-10 plus the spells level, right?
And then, I got a Nat 20.
- Adaine reaches in does something.
You see that Boggy kind
of looks up at you,
how can you be scared with this
adorable frog on your shoulders?
Kristen steps back with Gorgug and
Fabian and you guys feel whew this power.
The power that you're wielding right now
is like an even deeper doubt than before.
- Great.
- So this bless manifests as a feeling
of like hey stay on your toes because
who knows what the hell
this universe is about,
or what's happening—
- Oh great, more anxiety,
totally fantastic.
- It's all random.
You're all blessed.
- Adaine your hair does that thing
where it starts to float up as though
an unseen wind, boom, the entire mirror
ripples like a heavy rock is dropped into
the middle of perfectly
still lake for a second voom!
And that reflection is gone.
Everyone here roll a Perception check.
- Ooh maybe that was the wrong
thing for me to have done.
- No, definitely 13.
- 21.
- I got a 24.
- Nat 20.
- Hey!
- Everyone except, wait,
what did you roll again?
- 13.
- No, I'll say 13/16s as well.
- Aww.
- You guys all immediately notice that
the reflection is clear,
the claw marks are gone.
Standing in the middle, not
in the middle of the room,
Riz's body is still in that
contorted horrifying thing.
- In the mirror?
- You guys see—
- Or in the room that we're in?
- In the room that you're in.
- Oh, it's come, it's back maybe?
- You dispelled the mirror and that thing
is now in this room with you.
- That thing being—
- Riz's body?
- You see—
- No!
- Oh no.
- It's him?
- Riz Gukgak's body is at
the center of his office.
You see the body breathe.
- "Riz?"
- "He's alive."
- "Oh The Ball I swear, you
can't do things like this."
- "Yeah, it's 60% of our grade."
- "You look so hurt right now."
- "Oh no"
- "Jesus The Ball."
- "Oh that's bad."
- Oh!
- Oh!
- "What The Ball?"
- "No, no, no it's not Riz.
"It's not Riz."
- I'm gonna need everybody
here to roll Initiative.
- I don't like this, I don't
like anything about it.
- Nat 20 but I have
negative three Initiative.
- I got a 15.
- I'm ruining my 20s, I'm wasting them.
- You're wasting these good 20s.
- Hold on one second g*ng.
- Math, math, math.
- We're gonna go around right now.
- Math, math, math, math, math.
- What, we have to fight Riz maybe?
- I guess it's not Riz.
- I mean it's like Nightmare Riz.
- It looks like a horror, a Nightmare Riz.
- Classic Shadow Link situation.
- I really need to restock
my spells for this character.
- What did Gorgug get?
- Six.
- What did Adaine get?
- 15.
- Yeah!
- Adaine got 15, what did Fabian get?
- 17.
- Creepy.
- What did Kristen get?
- Also 17.
- Okay, awesome.
- And we're Blessed.
- Yeah, you guys are all Blessed.
- Chill, already Blessed dude.
Pre-fight blessings.
- Hell yeah.
- Filled with anxiety.
- Do we roll our Blessed
with Initiative rolls?
- No, you do not add blessed
to your Initiative rolls.
- Saving, attack and saving.
- Okay cool.
- Cool, that's going to be—
- You know what?
Now to complicate things but can I do
a higher level Blessed and
just also Bless myself.
- Yeah, you want that on
there, that's no sweat.
- Sure.
- Cool, you see
Riz
look at all of you.
And as it stands for a
moment it waits until
one of you guys makes the
smallest motion for a weapon.
And you see that Riz
stabs two of his fingers
into each eye and pulls his face open
through the eye sockets.
I'm gonna need everybody here to make—
- The ball!
- A Wisdom Saving Throw,
if you would be so kind.
- Oh my God, I can't.
- Oh we get Blessed on this?
- Creatures have a
disadvantage on Charisma-based
checks against me, that's
not charisma-based right?
- Disadvantage on Charisma-based, no.
- And it's not a charm thingy then?
- This is not charmed, no.
- Oh let me add less to this.
- I got a 13.
- Ooh, 15.
- You get a 15?
- Yeah.
- Hold on one second,
we're gonna go around here.
- It's so much more stressful having
the music in real life.
- Yeah, totally thrilling.
- Yeah, normally it gets added later
and we don't have to deal with it.
- Yeah, and we just get
to peacefully fight.
- Exactly in silence
but now instead today—
- Go ahead, give me your rolls.
- I got a four.
- Ooh Gorgug got a four.
- No, we need you.
- Oh God!
- We need you.
- Oh.
- I have a three and
then a one on the cast.
- Oh boy, and you have a zero Wisdom?
- And I have mindless rage,
that wouldn't help with this?
- You haven't gotten into a rage yet.
- You're not in a rage yet.
- Oh!
- But you can drop into
a rage on your turn
and negate the effect.
- Yes.
- Okay, so what did Adaine get?
- I got a 13.
- 13, okay.
- Cool man.
- What'd you get?
- 15, I have chills, ooh.
- Cool.
- 21.
- 21.
As Riz goes —
- Riz!
- You have to immediately fly into a rage
to save your own mind,
you can feel the fear
coming in to destroy you.
Fabian—
- I just realized I'm
wearing my dad's eye-patch
which means that I am, oh where did it go?
I have an advantage on intimidation
and I'm immune to fear.
- Amazing.
You're immune to fear.
What you see in this moment
is that looking at you Riz,
it's horrifying and you just hear a voice
almost from the pit of
your stomach saying,
"What are you afraid of boy?"
- "Oh nothing, nothing."
- "Nothing, nothing."
And you just go for your Rapier.
Kristen the power of doubt within you
propels you to be like,
"Hey nothing's scarier
"than the existential threat of what
"we're supposed to be
doing on this planet."
Adaine you feel a deep fear
overtake you
and you realize it's all coming back
even with the frog and everything else.
- No no no.
- That a deep anxiety and terror
begins to well up within you.
That is now going to be Fabian's turn.
- Okay great.
"The Ball you need to stop
ripping at your face!"
All right, I'll - and I'm just
gonna run and like to grapple The Ball.
- Okay, go ahead and make a Grapple check.
- Here we go now.
Is it possible for me
to jump off of something
and then—
- Go ahead and give me an Athletics check.
- Great.
It's gonna be 11 to jump off a desk.
- That's great, 11 does it.
- Great.
So we'll roll with advantage.
Thank God that's a three but that's an 18.
18 plus one, plus five, 24.
- This thing is fully grappled.
You just grab, like slam like WWE.
Boom, drive in, and get him in a headlock.
- "Careful, it's still Riz!"
- "Get yourself together The Ball.
"Somebody fix him."
- Okay, Fabian so that's your attack.
You get another attack if you want
but he's already grappled.
- Can I hit him with just my fist?
- Cool, go ahead and
give me an attack roll.
- Great.
Nat 20.
- Crit on Riz, great.
- It isn't Riz.
- Yeah, can it just be like—
- You guys can do subdual damage,
you can do nonlethal damage.
- I just want to like if I'm with arm
can I just smack him on
the side of the head?
- Yes, you absolutely can.
- Get it together Riz."
- Incredible.
- Do I roll, attack him or just—
- Nat 20 automatically hits.
- Great.
- And the damage is just
one plus your Dex modifier.
- Okay great, that's six.
- Boom, you hit this horrifying Riz thing.
That is going to move
and be Kristen's turn.
- Okay, can I roll Perception to see
if we are alone in this room with Riz
or if there's someone else that I can—
- Go ahead and give me
a free Perception check.
- Nat 20, yes!
- Perception check is I'll say right now,
there's no one else in this room with you.
This is not Riz.
You're just looking at it
and when Fabian hits it
this thing's eyes flash
black for a second.
You wonder if...
Here's what you think.
Riz fought, that means
Riz wasn't possessed.
So this isn't possessed Riz 'cause
these claw marks were not the claw marks
of the thing that went willingly.
So you don't think this thing is Riz
or you don't think it's riding.
You don't even think it's
necessarily riding Riz's body.
If you had to guess on a Nat 20
you'd say this is either something that's
using Illusion magic to seem like him.
Maybe it's Riz's reflection or his shadow,
some messed up thing but you do
not think this is Riz Gukgak.
- Okay, I take...
I think I realize how cool it is
that I wasn't afraid of what he just did,
and how I'm kind of
starting to see through
the things around me in my life.
And I take my staff and I slam it down
and I cast through channel
divinity, Destroy Undead.
- Cool, awesome.
You go for destroying undead, hit it.
As you hit this thing
with the Destroy Undead
you see that the shadow
flickers.
It is partially disrupted
but it is not damaged,
this is not a being of death.
- f*ck.
- It is a being of darkness and fear.
- Okay.
- You still have a movement
or a bonus action if you want.
- Yeah, sure.
I'm going to...
Is there coffee in the room?
Like one of his old tumblers or something?
- Oh there's tons, there's cold cups of
black coffee half drunk all over—
- I'm going to really
smugly sit in a chair
with some of his coffee
and just enjoy a nice cup
of really unafraid—
- "What is happening here?
"Help!"
- "Oh, you guys, I'm having
so much fun."
- "Help!"
- Adaine, this is a
familiar situation to you.
- "Why are you having fun?"
- "Look I'm really grasping at
straws over here.
- So you have been
affected by the Fear Spell.
Actually because you dealt that damage
I do need to roll a Concentration
check for this Fear spell.
Hold on.
- Oh and you rolled a four.
- Huh?
- You roll a four.
- I roll a four.
- Yes you roll a four.
- Yes.
- Yep.
- In that case Adaine there is no
Fear condition on you.
- Yes okay!
- As Fabian clocks this thing and
you use your last Portent roll,
you disrupt the spell.
I think there is still a feeling of like
"God I don't want that kind of stuff ever
"to work on me."
It is your turn, you are
uninfected by the Fear spell.
- Okay, can I do an Arcana check
to see what kind of creature this is?
- Yes you can.
- Great.
Do I add my Bless to this?
- Yes you can.
- Oh great, then so much like 29.
- You look at this,
this is a type of creature
that transcends the cosmology
of creatures as you know them.
It's most similar to Fey but Fey are
extra planar creatures
of the natural world,
if that makes sense.
They do have pocket dimensions and things
that they can create but Fey are
fundamentally tied to nature.
This thing is fully extra planar
in the manner of fiends or celestials.
But it is from
somewhere that is
advanced beyond the borders of this world.
You think this is a being
made of pure nightmare.
- Great.
Well that's fun, okay,
I would like to cast...
Tasha's Hideous Laughter on it.
- Copy that.
- It's a Wisdom saving throw, full prone,
becoming incapacitated and
unable to stand for the duration.
A creature of the Intelligence score
of four or less isn't affected.
- Gotcha.
- You go, you throw some
enchantment magic at this
and you see that Riz,
while being grappled by Fabian,
pulls a dagger out and carves
it's mouth wider on it's own
face and adds more teeth to
itself.
And swallows that spell and devours it.
- "What's happening,
I can't see anything?"
- "Ooh, it's bad."
- "Wow, this good coffee!"
- "What are you doing?"
- "Help, help us!"
- That's your action, any
movement or bonus action?
- I guess I'll get behind the desk.
- Cool, you get partial
cover behind the desk.
Gorgug that's you.
- Okay, so when the Concentration broke
did that affect Gorgug or does it matter?
- Yes, the Fear left you so you don't
need to go into a rage
now if you don't want to.
- Oh, Gorgug's gonna go into a rage.
- Nice, casual—
- I think Gorgug was,
just screaming, so scared.
And then after that was
dealt with, that spell,
went into a rage and now
is just
and just screaming a
different kind of scream,
and is just going to attack.
- Go for it.
- Do I have any benefits
from it being grappled?
- Yeah, you get advantage on these rolls.
- Oh great, great, great.
- Oh hell yes!
- 24 or 23, 26.
- Let me just double check
that grapple thing real quick,
I want to make sure
I'm getting that right.
- All right.
- Hold on one second.
- If not, my lower score was 22.
- Oh great.
- Oh sick.
- Oh okay.
- Yeah, you don't get it
'cause he's not prone,
he's just grappled.
- Okay.
- So lower roll is 22,
that definitely hits.
- Okay cool and then I roll 12/six.
Ooh, a 12/six.
Then I hit it for 13
and then my next attack...
- Damn.
- That's c*ck, you
gotta roll that again.
- You can't let those c*ck ones slide,
you gotta roll 'em again.
Gotta keep rolling 'em.
- It's 18.
- 18 hits.
- Damn, slap him.
- And then...
Then that's another 12.
- So 13 and 12, I did 25.
- You did 25 all together?
- And I don't get to
do my Frenzy because I
already did my bonus
action to rage, right?
- Yes, that's correct.
So, what was the next one?
- So I did 13 damage, and then 12 damage.
- And then 12 damage, cool.
So that's going to be, cool,
he's taken 35 damage so far.
- "Are we k*lling Riz, is this"--
- "It's not Riz!"
- "Okay great."
- "It's just some kind of thing."
- "Okay, cool, cool."
- "It's a scary thing."
- "Awesome."
- "Oh it looks so bad, you're gonna
"hate it when you let go."
- "It's really gross."
- "Okay, cool, I'll be ready.
"I'm ready, I'm not afraid of anything."
- Okay, hold on one second.
- He looks like literally the Joker.
- It's so awful.
- Ooh.
- Oh no.
- He starts telling jokes.
- Just bright green with a cutout smile.
- Ooh.
- Okay.
- Just like thrashing at
it's own face, like that's—
- It's so awful.
- It's something like next level to that,
like just like that
mutilating self kind of vibe.
- Yeah.
- Nightmare thing.
- I mean, hey dude, it's
the stuff of nightmares—
- The Clown Prince of Nightmares.
- The Clown Prince, Riz Gukgak,
The Clown Prince of Nightmares.
- Ooh baby.
- Oh no.
- Riz Gukgak and Joker make up.
Riz would definitely come
as the Joker for Halloween.
- Absolutely.
- Oh for sure.
- 100%.
- Yeah, some people just
want to see the world burn.
- Exactly.
- Riz is kind of already
dressed as the Joker.
- He's most of the way, take the hat off.
- He has a lot of three-piece suits.
- He, yeah.
Murph definitely saw and
advance copy of Joaquin Phoen-
- Riz is grappled, you're behind Riz.
Riz doesn't need his
head to be on straight.
So he goes
and his head spins around and he is
face to face with you—
- "The Ball!"
- And you see that he just looks at your-
he like puts his mouth over your good eye
- "What the?"
- No!
- And you feel his little Goblin fangs
rotate serrated and try to
bore your eye out of your
head for 20 points of damage.
- "Ooh."
- "No!"
- And you see from Gorgug's ax wounds that
Fabian's blood is sucked into
his body and he is healed.
Still partially injured, now
that is going to be Fabian.
- "f*ck this", kick him off of me.
Stand up, stab, stab.
Yeah and I'll Action Surge,
I'ma take four attacks on this.
- Well before you take your Action Surge,
go ahead and make your first attack.
- Okay great.
That's 21 plus Bless, 25.
- You definitely hit, go
ahead and roll Damage.
- Great, do, do, do do.
Three plus eight equals 11.
- Hell yeah.
You do 11 points of damage.
As you stab Riz, you see
that the thing looks at you
and as your blood goes down it's lips
it looks at you and says,
A worse
story than before."
Your sword it spirals into shadow,
collapses around the tip of your sword.
Pah, and there's a blast of
shadow miasma and it's gone.
- No.
- The Sword of Seacaster is gone?
- No, the being is gone.
- Are we still in Initiative?
- We're still in Initiative.
- f*ck.
- Can I Counterspell,
can I cast Counterspell?
It's a reaction.
- Make an Arcana check for me.
Let me know if you beat a DC-15.
- I do, I got a 25.
- Whatever it does is
something supernatural
but it's not a counterspell
you can base on.
- Fabian, can I just swing
wildly around the room?
- Actually, you absolutely can.
Go ahead and roll a Luck check
for me, we need a 19 or 20.
- Can I add Bless?
- Sure, so we'll, yeah, add Bless.
- 19 or 20—
- Add Bless to get to a 19 or 20.
- 17.
- Close.
- Wait, but, oh yes.
- Yeah, cool, with the Blessing 17.
So you're just
just slashing widely.
- "I don't want to, where is it?
"Where'd it go?"
- And that's going to be Kristen.
- Can I do a Luck check to see if I
just hit it with my staff
while sipping coffee?
- You gotta hit a 19 or 20.
- If you...
- 19!
- Yes!
- Do I hit it and I see it?
- I'm going home I'ma go home.
What?
What?
- I'm thinking you're
drinking the coldest coffee.
- Go ahead and make an Attack roll
with your staff, if you'd be so kind.
- Oh, I'm not attacking, I'm gonna
try to cast Banishment on it.
- Oh!
So at 19, you're trying
to cast Banishment.
Oh my God, incredible.
Hold on one second.
So you're sitting in a
chair, I'm gonna say this,
you go so deeply
into your own sense of doubt
that you arrive at a moment where you go,
"The certainty of life
is that nothing is certain."
And in that deep and profound absurdity
is a solace and comfort
more potent than any
conviction of the faithful
that there has ever been.
You raise your finger to an empty corner
but instead of going to Riz you go up,
a blast of pure reverberating
energy erupts from your hand
and spidered up there so
that it's head is facing you.
But Riz is showing you
his back and shoulders,
so Riz is clutching but
head totally turned around.
- Oh no.
- Appears in a blast of shadow as
you hit him right with your Banishment.
- It's just
more honest this way."
- How?
- Incredible, so this gonna
be a Charisma Saving Throw.
- If it's native to the
plane of existence you're on
you banish it to a harmless demi plane,
but if it's not you send
it back to where it's from.
- And if it's from a place
that it is not native to—
- If the target is—
- The banished will fade
and populate it's own plane.
If the spell ends before
one minute has passed
it reappears in the space
but it doesn't get...
A minute so that the spell ends which
the player's heart reappears.
So it doesn't reappear if you can
hold on to it for a minute.
This is gonna be huge,
hold on one sec g*ng.
So I'm gonna see if this thing
has any spells or magic that can help it.
Ooh little buddy.
- It probably doesn't, it probably doesn't
have any spells that can help it.
- Yeah, probably not one, right?
Not one thing.
- Probably not worth checking.
- Ooh!
- But I'm also kind of worried about
just sending it back
to where it came from.
- I know.
- It would better to k*ll it.
- But also it did 20 damage by—
- It's like so fueling and sh*t, yeah.
- I want this, it's very scary.
- You can undo your banish.
- Your difficulty Kristen is 16,
this thing's got a plus four to it's Save
on a 12 or higher it is not banished.
We're gonna roll in front of the board.
- Ooh baby.
- All right.
- That's a nine.
And with that you guys
see this thing goes,
The mirror shatters, this thing is gone,
the room is completely quiet.
- "Be less chill."
- "What?"
- "This is not okay."
- "It's literally not okay."
- "This was not okay."
- "It's not okay."
- "Look, you spent your
whole life pretending
"that you have the answers and
the moment that you're like,
"'Actually I have
no clue', it's so relieving."
- Gorgug just hits
another corner with an ax.
- "Gorgug, Gorgug, baby."
- I would like to cast
Locate Creature on Riz
because I would like to
know where Riz is please.
If he is within a thousand feet of me
that would be nice to know.
- Riz is not within a
thousand feet of you.
- Dang.
- Can we call him again?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Can I call, while somebody
do that, I'm gonna call...
I'm worried that Sandra Lynn may have
encountered some Figeroth version—
- "Yeah, I'll call Sandra Lynn."
I feel like we have Sandra Lynn's number
because she lived with us.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Can I take that photo
and put it in my bag
and like take it with us?
- Yes, you absolutely can.
Go ahead and mark your
things in your inventory too.
- Can we look around for
his Nightmare King file?
- Great call.
- Yeah, oh, it's been scattered around.
Give me a group Investigation check.
We'll call it just a DC,
you're tryna as a group beat DC-10.
- Are we still Blessed?
- Take Hell Faction.
- You are still Blessed, yes.
- Exactly 10.
- Oh no, you are not still Blessed,
Concentration was, no,
Teddy Bear's Helpfulness.
- Teddy Bear Helpfulness.
- Cool, you got it.
So you're concentrating on the Banishment,
while the Teddy Bear
concentrates on Bless.
So you can add Bless.
- 10.
- Yeah, I got like a 21.
- 10.
- 17.
- Five.
- 18 actually.
- And what did Adaine get?
- 26.
- Incredible, so you guys
carefully clean up the mess
and are able to to the
best of your ability
put together Riz's file
on the Nightmare King.
- Can I check this room because I know
Riz also for like secret
doors, and passages—
- Great call.
- And hideaways and any other
behind the paintings like...
- Hell yeah.
You check for secret
doors, you find so many
secret compartments and doors in here.
- Is there a g*n in
here, can I take a g*n?
I gotta have a weapon and
we're going to fight a—
- You have a frog, just be yourself.
- You have a frog, you cast magic.
- Yes, but sometimes that doesn't work.
- I will say that in a secret
compartment you do find a g*n.
- "Great, I'm taking this g*n."
- "Do not take this g*n."
- "Don't take this g*n."
"You can't even drive."
- "Honestly this is going to come back.
"Everybody watch, I'm
calling it right now."
- "You should be able to drive."
- "This going to be a big
problem down the road."
- "I have an anxiety
disorder and driving"--
- "That's why you should not have a g*n."
- "That's a great reason
to not have a g*n."
- "It's scary for me."
- "Have you taken any
firearms training classes?"
- I put the g*n back.
- "Thank you."
- "Thank you."
- "I just feel a lot more comfortable."
- "Honestly Gorgug, great, great."
- "Jawbone, he has a huge g*n."
- "But I will have some kind
of a knife or something."
- "We'd love to get you a knife.
"I'd love to give you a knife."
- "Yes."
- So you guys get in
touch with Sandra Lynn,
Sandra Lynn looks around and says...
Texts you back and says,
"Bus is fully gone, meet me back at
"Mordrid Manor as soon as you can.
"I've already contacted Sklonda,
"she's gonna meet us there."
- "Great."
- "No, everyone's really gone."
- "Crap."
- "The Ball's okay, he's gotta be."
- "Yeah, he'll be fine."
- "Yeah, well I can't
shake what we just saw
"when I think about The Ball."
- "That was very, the worst
thing I've ever seen and
"every time I see The Ball from
"now on I will think of that."
- "Did anyone have a really
weird dream last night?"
- "Oh yes, but it's before
an adventure, right?"
- "Yeah, I did, yes."
- "No, I don't think so because I
"don't dream and I dreamed."
- "Wait, my parents said I should run
"my dream by a wizard or a sorcerer.
"Can I run it by you?"
- "Oh sure, yeah."
- "Does that work?"
- "Okay."
- "So I was on a cliff side over the ocean
"and I saw Ragh turn
around and he just had
"blood where his eyes were and
he said, 'Are you my dad?'"
- "Wait, like Riz was earlier?"
- "Yeah, Riz was messing
with his eyes a lot."
- Yeah, do I know if that
was the same kind of horror?
- There seems to be a weird
eyes thing to all of this.
As you focus on this thing of eyes,
like you had bleeding eyes in your thing,
this thing pulled it's eyes open.
You come back and you have a weird moment
of like looking at that photograph
that doesn't have a person in it.
With the empty space covered
with Riz's red marker.
There's something strange afoot obviously
but the thing of eyes comes back to you,
you keep thinking of what are all
the things we see and don't see.
- Can I hold it up to the sunshine?
- Sure.
You hold the photo up to sunshine and
it illuminates the photograph
pretty okay, it seems normal.
- It's nothing shining throw it
that gives any other kind of clue?
- Nothing shining through it there.
I guess when you hold it up,
you see some writing on the back of it
which seems to be the date for it.
And it looks like this was from a
long time ago when Riz would've been—
- "It tried to bite your eye."
- "Oh that's right."
- "It did."
- "I mean, I was being bitten so I didn't
"think about the thematic
elements of it, but sure."
- "Are you okay?
"Are you gonna turn into
one of those things?"
- "Can you lift up your eye
patch for me, for a sec?"
- "No, no, I'm done, all right?"
- "Can you lift up your eye patch for a"--
- "You asked me to do that
a lot when it happened
"and I'm not doing it anymore, all right?"
- "Yeah, I don't need to
see it again, it's gross."
- "Yeah, it's gross."
- "I think it's kinda cool.
"But yeah, okay, yeah totally."
- You guys head back to Mordrid Manor,
as you guys arrive there you see that
Sklonda's cruiser is up there.
She's in the driveway
talking to Sandra Lynn
who's looking, they're both
looking very very concerned.
You also see there Baxter The Griffin,
Jawbone's out talking.
Sandra Lynn looks at
you guys as you arrive,
Sklonda looks over and says, "Hey."
And she looks up, immediately see your
injury and says, "What
happened at the office?"
- "We fought Riz, not Riz"--
- "It wasn't Riz."
- "It's like another
Riz, he was a crazy Riz.
"He could turn his head
around and stuff"--
- "Riz was a Spiderman."
- "Some kind of nightmare."
- "He ripped his eye out and then
"he stabbed himself, and
then he ripped his mouth."
- "Yeah, it wasn't Riz,
"it was something pretending to be Riz."
- "And then he put his mouth on my mouth,
"and then he bit my sword
and he disappeared."
- "Oh your eye, not your mouth."
- "Yeah, that also happened,
anyway it was wild."
- "It was not fun, very scary.
"He turned his head fully around."
- "And the mirror is shattered."
- Yes.
- Sklonda and Sandra Lynn look and says,
no, Sklonda and Sandra
Lynn looks at each other.
Sandra Lynn says, "I called Lola,
Fig's agent.
"She got a crystal mail from Fig
"at around four o'clock in
the morning, this morning,
"to book at hotel room in Bastian City."
- "What?"
- "Where is that?"
- Bastian City is the capital of Solace,
where the Counsel of Chosen meet.
It's the big city.
- "Why would she do that and not tell us?"
- "Something's wrong."
- "Maybe it was the
spider version of her."
- "Oh no, but Riz couldn't
speak properly, the spider Riz."
- "I don't think that was Riz."
- "Well he did say that one
thing that one time though."
- "Because I banished
it, it would've left Riz
"is our plane, it would've sent Riz"--
- "Right, but that spider thing"--
- Go ahead and give me Insight checks.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Wee.
- 11.
- I got a seven.
- I got a 16.
- Oh I got a really high one, 25.
- Immediately Gorgug it occurs to you,
because Adaine mentioned that
she wasn't really sleeping,
so whatever happened didn't really happen.
Riz doesn't sleep hardly ever.
- And Fig doesn't, Fig trances.
- No Fig as a Tiefling—
- Oh because as Tiefling.
Right.
- She fully sleeps.
So you don't think the same.
And when you were messing
around with the piano stuff,
or actually you might be interested
to see Fig's room and see if
there's any sign of struggle.
Because it's possible
that different things
happened to Fig and Riz.
- "Huh, yeah, let's go
investigate Fig's room."
- "He maybe fought whatever
it was while he was awake,
"and then she maybe experienced something
"different when she was asleep."
- "Oh no."
- "Yeah."
- "That's a good point."
- "Is Bastian City the
opposite way of where
"we were going to go to
visit your sister in prison?"
- "No, it's on the way."
- "It's on the way."
- "Also we're still under
discussion on that one."
- "We're definitely gonna
go see your hot sister."
- Yeah, I'll go look at Fig's room.
- You look at Fig's room,
no sign of struggle.
Looks like it was thoroughly
packed up for adventure stuff.
Fig's base is not here, none
of the stuff is here, all gone.
- Fig."
- So she just willingly left it seems.
- Willingly left.
- Huh, that is so weird.
- Was able to write an email to her
agent saying book a hotel room.
- But there's no notes for us or anything?
There's no confessions
of an emotional moment?
- There's nothing, no nothing to you guys.
- "This is so off for her."
- "Do you think she was
brainwashed or whatever?"
- "I think she must've been."
- "Yeah, I mean, they got to Riz."
- "This doesn't feel right."
- "If they got to Riz, than
they probably got to Fig."
- Is there a phone number for this hotel?
- Yes—
- "Yeah, let's see if
she's still in there."
- Well Sandra Lynn looks over and says,
"Well that's easy to look up but it's the
"Hotel Cavalier in Bastian City.
"It's just a old sort of
waterfront hotel down there by"--
- "Oh no, that's scummy."
- "Scummy, I feel Fig would"--
- "Go for the scummy hotel."
- You see that Sklonda
looks over and says,
"I don't know if this is anything
"but I haven't heard from
Gorthalax all morning."
- "Gorthalax?"
- "I haven't heard from
Gorthalax all morning.
"Secondly, Fig wouldn't
miss if he tried to
"talk to her because he
should be able to find her."
I should mention Gorthalax can find Fig
whereever she is now because he's
officially granting her her spells.
She's dabbled in warlock, it feels okay
because it's her dad but you know.
- So she's multi-classing?
- Again, I mean, for the first time?
- Some people want to stick with one class
and other people can't
resist the Siren call
of what other classes have to offer.
- All right!
- But that's all gravy baby.
- Great.
"I mean it feels like we're
going to Bastian City,
"all right, I'm just gonna say it."
- "Yeah I agree."
- "It sounds like we're taking the
"beginning of our has been diverted for
"more important things to other things
"that also need to happen."
- Sklonda says, "Okay,
I'm gonna put out an APB
"and the police are gonna start looking
"for Riz where ever he his in town."
She looks over at you and says,
"Adaine, we have our own
Arcanist looking at it
"but we had a robbery this morning
"that we were investigating
at the Elm Valley Mall
"that was a jewelry store down there
"that got robbed in a really scary way.
"All the glass and it was shattered."
- "Oh no."
- "But almost nothing was missing."
- "What was missing?"
- "Weird."
- "What was missing."
- "My partner Dusty has that information
"down there but you
could also go, the owners
"are still down there"--
- "Yeah, I'll go."
- "Dealing with the insurance.
"But if you're heading to the highway
"to head down there it's a quick stop.
"And they'll still be
there probably all day."
- "I would get a cinnamon sugar pretzel."
- "Oh yeah, absolutely."
- "What happened to those coffees?"
- "Gilear!"
- You guys see a
sweat-drenched Gilear walks up,
he says, "As I've mentioned
I do not have a car
"so I had to walk here from downtown
"on the shoulder of the highway.
"I was hit by a Vespa about half way
"and had to go back because
I dropped the coffees."
- "Gilear, why didn't you take an Uber?"
- "Part of having my car repossessed is
"I can no longer use the
app for personal reasons."
- "Oh no."
- "Okay."
- "They really hit you with that?"
"That's so unfair."
- "Honestly, this is good
for you Gilear, all right?
"You're getting your calves strong."
- "I've inhaled a lot of
road dust and exhausts"--
- "Or the bus?"
- "What?"
- "The bus."
- "Hmm?"
- "The bus."
- "What bus?"
- "The bus that goes
everywhere in Elmville."
- "You can take public transportation."
- "Fig didn't give me an order,
"so I got her what I knew was her favorite
"plus a couple of safeties."
- "No, no, no, the public
transport bus that you"--
- "You could be taking the
bus instead of walking."
- "Instead of walking."
- "Yes, yes, absolutely
but the requested cafe
"actually has a number of transfers.
"There's not a direct route
here and one of the"--
- "And so you chose to walk instead?"
- "One of the bus drivers
threatened on occasion to,
"and I'm quoting verbatim here,
"'Stomp my goon a*s if I
ever got on his bus again.'"
- "Gilear, you don't
have to come with us."
- "No, Gilear is coming."
- "You're a great intern",
and I grab my drink.
"And I'm sure it's really good."
- "I'm looking for the
hot chocolate with a
"shot of decaf, and a shot
of cortado on top of that."
- "Yes, that's right, here.
"The people at the cafe didn't know
"what a cortado was and they
demanded that I make it.
"So I had to figure that out."
- "This is just milk and lemonade."
- "Do you want me to go back?
"I warn you it will break me."
- "Hey you're on foot so
much, did you see Fig's van?
"There's no way, right, it would've
"been in the middle of the night?"
- Yeah.
- Her bus?
- Her bus?
- He says, "Yes."
- "What?"
- "What where did you see it?"
- "I'm sorry, what?"
- "I saw it pulling into the parking lot
"of the Elm Valley Mall."
- "No."
- "Wait, when?"
- "Hmm?"
- "When?"
- "Very early this morning."
- "When you were starting
out to get the coffees?"
- "Predawn."
- "Gilear, this is a one time thing.
"Hop on the back of The Hangman,
"show us where you saw the bus."
- "If this is a prank, I shall warn you,
"I am at my weakest and most vulnerable."
- "No, you did a really good job actually.
"You're a great intern.
"See the milk is actually curdling now,
"so it's kind of like a smoothie."
- "I got a hot chocolate
and a black coffee,
"which one would you like?"
- "Black coffee."
- You see Gilear leans over and says,
"Wait, you have the curdled lemon milk,
"that's actually mine."
- "Oh!"
- "Yes I like this."
- "Oh great.
"That wasn't a big mistake."
- "They don't make a lemon
yogurt but they should."
- "They definitely do
Gilear, it's sold everywhere.
"I would say maybe one of
the top yogurt flavors."
- Lemon yogurt?
- Lemon yogurt, I don't think is a thing.
Whoa!
- Let's go to the mall.
- You guys did not have moms
on a diet growing up, wake up!
- "Hop on the back, do not touch me."
- I for sure had a mom on a diet.
- Sandra Lynn looks at you and says,
"I'll meet you there."
- "Great."
- "Jawbone do you mind
if I take the car again?"
- "How about he drives?"
- "Oh."
- He goes, "You got a second
for me to put some pants on?"
He's still in the tighty
whities, it's like
fully 2:30 in the afternoon.
He goes, "Gilear brother, come here man",
gives him a big hug.
You see he says, "I am
surrounded by the charming
"partners of the women who have left me."
- "Should we bring Jawbone?"
- "Lets just get out of here."
- "Instead, yes."
- "No."
- "He's faculty, so he can't"--
- "Yeah, he needs to be providing services
"to other people, Gilear though."
- "Okay, okay."
- So you take the car.
Hangman, Gilear, and Fabian.
Sandra Lynn and Baxter take
off going their own way.
Do you guys, ba, ba, bah—
- If you pull out a highway map—
- I was gonna ask,
Tracker, Cathilda, and Ragh
are the other people you
guys are planning on taking.
- Yes.
- Are you swooping by to get them
or what are you guys doing?
- Well Tracker's here.
- Tracker's here.
- So let's take Tracker.
- So in Jawbone's car is the
three of you plus Tracker,
again, I'ma do Jawbone.
- Do we have have space, how
many people can fit in the van?
- Do my parents have a van I could take?
- Your parents do have a van.
- I feel like there's probably a
bigger vehicle we could take.
- Can we text Ragh and have
him meet us at the mall?
- Cool, you text Ragh, Ragh texts back,
"Hell yeah, on my way.
"Cinnamon pretzels, what's good?"
- And Cathilda as well,
I feel like Cathilda can make her way.
- Cool.
So you guys head to the mall.
You arrive there, I'm
gonna say that actually
'cause you guys are going much faster.
These guys get there first, so it's just
Fabian, Gilear, and Sandra Lynn first.
- "Why did you take Gilear?"
- "'Cause he knew where the bus was."
- "I'm sorry, you're right, you're right."
- The rest of you go to the
Thistlespring Tree to grab the van.
You guys head to the Thistlespring Tree,
you parents go, "Well hey
there bud, how's it going?"
- "Hey ma, there's a lot going on but
"I was just wondering if we could
"borrow the van for a little white?"
- "For like a month and a half."
- "He's a really good driver."
- You see they look and they say,
"Well we get the adventure
wagon back on it's wheels.
"Me and your mom we went
on so many adventures
"in that thing, yeah."
- "Cool."
- "Well I'll you what bud, you know?
"You're 16", sorry is Gorgug 16 or 17?
- It think he's 17.
- He's 17.
"You're 17 years old,
you got your license.
"If you want to buy your first vehicle
"me and your mom we'd part
with the van for a sum buddy."
- "So I can just buy
the van from you guys?"
- "We got the deed, we got the title,
"we'll sign it over to you.
"A young man needs his own party van."
- Yeah, how
much do you want for it?"
- "Well, when we bought
it it was, I think,
"a couple hundred gold
but we've had it for,
"gosh, almost 22 years.
"So I think the blue book on it"--
- "A thousand gold?"
- "What?"
- "No."
- "What are you doing?"
- "No"--
- "35."
- "35 sounds very fair,
we'll take 35 gold for it."
- "30, that's it?"
- "And drive it in
health bud, that's great.
"And that's good, you know we'd give
"it to you for free but it feels good
"to buy and own your own thing, you know?"
- "Yeah."
- "There you go bud.
"Well hop on in."
You see this rusty old big,
it's just like a clunker van in the back.
The grass has grown up
around it behind the tree,
but it works.
You hop in and they say,
"While you're getting
"used to it, give it a couple weeks okay?
"And then when you've
you got it good and ready
"and you know how to drive it, just that
"button on the right
unlocks the secret panel.
"And then you can mess with it"--
- "Secret panel?"
- "You'll figure it out, you
have a great adventure pal!
"Go get 'em!"
- "Okay, thanks for the van.
"My own adventure mobile."
- Aww your parents are
great at gearing you up.
- That's so cool.
- Cool, so you guys head off.
Sorry, yes, Kristen.
- Can we swing by my house really quick
but far away from it?
- Wait, your parent's house?
- Yeah, and just squeak by there.
Is that kinda on the way?
- I think it's nowhere,
is it anywhere near?
- You guys can go 'cause you're gonna go
pick up Cathilda and Ragh as well.
- Ragh is meeting us at the mall.
- Oh, Ragh is meeting
you at the mall, right.
- Yeah.
- Sure.
- Quick, you go over there.
Fabian you arrive there.
Sandra Lynn lands (blows
air) bow over her thing,
Griffin in the parking lot.
Gilear gets off and says,
How do you manage the vibrations
"of the motorcycle and the effects
"that it has on your digestive tract?
"I feel like everything within
me has been shaken loose."
- "What, what?"
- "I need to use the restroom right away."
- Lemon milk.
- "Gilear, literally, I never want
"to hear about your bowels
or your insides ever again."
- "If I don't move quickly you will
"hear more than about them."
- "Oh my, oh gosh."
- He runs up to the
restroom, Sandra Lynn says,
"Don't worry about"--
- "How did you every, I'm not gonna lie,
"you seem like an incredibly
intelligent and cool person.
"And Fig's not here so
I'll say this right now
"that man, how, how, how?"
- "Fabian relax.
"He took the divorce very hard,
"he was not always like this, okay?"
- "If you say so."
- "He was in hindsight
more similar to this
"than I imagined but he was
not always exactly like this.
"Okay?"
- "Okay."
- "Look, I'm right now your employee,
"so let's try to keep things
above board, what do you say?"
- "We need to find Fig."
- "Okay."
You walk into the mall and you just see
there's like caution tape up there,
there's some Elmville P.D. around.
And you see there is this jewelry store
that's been smashed and
there's some insurance agents
that are coming there,
some people that own it.
And you see that there's
a young Earth Genasi woman
who is talking to some people there.
She looks over at you
guys as you approach,
Sandra Lynn approaches and says,
"Hi, sorry to interrupt.
"My name is Sandra Lynn
Faeth, I'm a Solesian Ranger.
"I'm here with Fabian Seacaster
who's an adventurer"--
- "Fabian Aramaris Seacaster,
son of Bill Seacaster,
"ever heard of him?"
- "He is currently dispatched by the
"Aguefort Adventuring
Academy investigating
"matters that pertain to the
robbery that occurred here."
- I'm gonna go ahead and full
live over the caution tape.
So what
do we got going on here?
"What's the situation?"
- You see that rookie
cop comes over and says,
"Well boss, I'll tell you here.
"It looks like we got a real sma",
and you see the Captain says,
"Stop that Jenkins, that's a child."
- All right well, no, hold on.
What was he saying, we
gotta a smashing what?
- He said it with so much authority boss.
You see that Sandra Lynn as
she starts looking around,
the cop starts letting you in.
You see a bunch of scattered gems
just on the ground, a
bunch of jewelry here—
- "There's scattered gems
over here on the ground."
- Give me an Investigation check.
- What would Riz do in this moment?
Nat one.
All right, I'm doing my best impression
of Riz Gukgak in this moment.
- You end up trying to impersonate Riz
and biting down hard on a piece of glass.
- "I'm getting a horrifying vision."
- Sandra Lynn looks over at you
talking to the shop owner and says,
"Fabian get a pretzel.
"Fabian get a pretzel, get a pretzel."
- "I can't eat nothing."
- "God damn have a God damn good berry."
And she gives you a good berry.
- Ow!
- "Go get a pretzel!
"What's the matter with you?"
- "Riz wouldn't, he
bites stuff."
- "He will taste things sometimes!
"Are you full crying?"
- "No!"
I run full sprint.
- Like dancer leaps, and
sprinting into the mall.
You are sitting with a
pretzel a little bit later.
- "It hurts so much."
- "Good gosh", she walks
over to you and says.
About 10 minutes later you
see that Ragh shows up,
looks at you full crying
and you see he goes,
"Hey, what's goin' on?"
- "Shut, shut up!"
- "Dude, honestly, be real,
are you crying right now?"
- "Yes, I tried to act like The Ball
"and I got all bitey like he does.
He's always doing that
"and just bit some glass.
"I don't know he could taste
fingerprints or something,
"I don't know."
- "Dude, you are not The Ball dude,
"you are Fabian Aramaris
Seacaster, alright?"
- "Yeah, yeah, I do flips and stuff."
- "You do flips and stuff man."
- "Right things."
- "Now own that.
"Dude you think I'm over
here beating the sh*t out
"of myself every time I
bite a bunch of glass?"
- "Sorry."
- "Dude I bite glass
everyday on accident."
- "So you're telling me that this
"is not a crazy thing that like"--
- "No, dude!
"Glass is literally invisible."
- "Yeah, yeah."
- "How do you know it's
there all the time"--
- "Exactly."
- "In your mouth, near your mouth."
- "That's exactly what happened,
"I thought I was picking something else
"but there was invisible glass in my hand.
"And I bit that instead."
"You are the best, you know that?"
"I'm so excited that you're here.
"I cannot wait, we're going to do
"great things Ragh Barkrock."
- He goes in and he's
like, "Brother come on it,
"Hootgrowl baby."
- "Hootgrowl."
"Hootgrowl, hootgrowl."
- "Let's get some cinnamon
pretzels in this b*tch."
- "Whoo!
You guys go over—
- "Yeah Ragh, we'll talk about
crime stuff in a second."
- She looks over and says,
"I found out what happened, okay."
- "We gotta get these pretzels!"
- You both in your
Aguefort letter jackets—
- "Whew!"
- Walk over, Ragh—
- Just push people.
- Yeah, he's shoving you but also
lovingly taking the tears
off your face with his thumb.
- "Oh man, I haven't cried in a minute."
- He's like, "That's my f*ck' QB dude.
"If he cries and you make fun of him,
"it's your a*s dude!"
- "What, what!"
- You guys get pretzels, the
rest of you guys roll up.
You roll by Seacaster
Manor, you got Tracker,
Kristen, Adaine, and Gorgug in the van.
You got Boggy, you pickup Cathilda
who's got a lovely little floral suitcase,
and her little sweatpants
and her athletic headband.
"All right, well hello there, pleasure.
"Oh lovely, you've got a little van here."
- "It's a lot easier to drive
when it doesn't have stick."
- You see, she says, "Oh indeed
it is, that's for certain."
- "It's automatic."
- You see she gets in and
looks around and says,
"Would anybody here like a biscuit?"
- "Yes!"
- "Yes please!"
- And she hands out biscuits to everybody.
You guys roll over from there.
- Can we swing by my house?
- Yes you swing by the
Applebees residence.
- "Can you Mage Hand some of this gold
"into my brother's rooms?"
- Aw.
- "Yeah."
- "Thanks, let's go."
- "That's very sad."
- "That's all I needed to do."
- Aww, you Mage Hand some gold through
the window and into your brother's room.
- "Do you want to send a note with that?"
- "Just drive."
- "You parent's aren't gonna get mad that
"they suddenly have gold?"
- "Just drive!"
- Tracker goes, "Drive!"
- "Okay."
- You head away, go ahead and mark down
how much gold that you give them.
And you peel off and get to the mall.
As you arrive there in the parking lot,
you see Ragh and Fabian are out
near the parking lot near
Baxter, huge cinnamon pretzels.
- Yes!
- You see that Sandra Lynn
steps out as you guys arrive,
so the whole is assembled
here minus Gilear.
She looks at everybody and says,
"Talk to the owner,
she was little reticent
"to talk about it because
she was dealing with
"the insurance company but
only one item went missing."
- What was it?
- Okay.
- It was an item called the Devil's Heart,
which was a flawless 24 carat ruby.
- The Devil's Heart, well
that's not foreboding.
- Not magical.
- Oh.
- Or so they think.
- You know who used to
be trapped in a ruby?
It's Gorthalax, I mean,
I wasn't gonna say it.
- No, but it's Gorthalax.
- Ragh does that thing
where it's like a hug
and full body shake and he goes,
"See you're f*ck' great at clues dude.
"Hell yeah."
- "Ragh, you guys put
your ice, is that ice,
"or what is in your mouth?"
- "Glass dude!"
- "It's a thing that happens to people."
- "You don't always know if
you're eating glass or not."
- "Are you bleeding?"
- "No, it eat just a really sharp piece
"of cinnamon pretzel."
- "Do we have to bring him?"
- "I don't know."
- "Oh, he's coming."
- "Okay, great."
- "Why is Fabian making
all of these decisions?"
- "I don't understand."
- "I'm not making, all
right, Tracker's coming."
- "Yeah."
- "Ragh's my guy and
also Cathilda is my guy."
- Cathilda looks over and says,
"Charmed, would you lovely
boys want a biscuit?"
- "We just ate so many cinnamon pretzels."
- Ragh goes, "I'll have a biscuit yeah."
You see that Ragh looks
over, I don't think
he has hung out with
Tracker that much before.
But he looks over at
Tracker and just goes,
I like your
whole deal what's up?"
She looks over and says,
"Hey man, how's it going?"
He leans in and is like,
"Check it out I'm g*y."
- "Check it out I'm g*y!"
- You know when you're g*y you're having
to come out to everybody all the time.
- Check it out.
- And you see that Tracker sort of,
her eyebrows go up, and
she's like "Tight cool, okay.
"Great, great, great."
- I'm secretly pulling on the back of
her jacket the whole time as
like, "This is happening."
- She looks over and
says, "Ragh and Fabian?
"Ragh and Gorgug?"
- I mean he just said, "He's my guy."
- "The is my guy", he
gets me in a headlock too,
"Yeah, what's up dude.
"Whew! Pal, pals!"
- "I think, yeah, there could
be some fluidity there."
- I just want to pull Ragh
aside for a second and say,
"Ragh, you didn't have a weird
dream last night did you?"
- "Oh I did have a super weird dream."
- "You did?"
- "Yeah."
- "What happened?"
- "I was standing, I
couldn't see anything.
"My face was wet and I
was standing in a place
"that sounded loud and smelled like salt.
"And I turned and I couldn't see but
"I knew someone was there.
"And I asked them if they were my dad."
- "Okay."
- "I don't know who my dad is."
- "Yeah, we talked about this,
"yeah we talked about it man.
"It meant a lot, we
really bonded over that."
- "Yeah, I'm glad that
that meant a lot to you
"and I appreciate it."
I relay that to everyone else.
"Should I tell him that"--
- Can I ask Tracker if she had a dream?
- Tracker looks and
says, "No, well no I did.
"I had a dream that I
was running on all fours
"and I found a bunch of
innocent people in the village,
"and I k*lled and ate them.
"But that's not"--
- "It's a normal dream for you?"
- "That's a normal dream for me, yeah."
- "Wow, that's a lot."
- "Hey Cathilda, do maids dream?
"Is that thing that maids do?"
- Do maids dream?
- "Fabian my darling boy,
yes of course, maids dream.
"You know we're full people."
- "I mean yeah but you're also a maid,
"you're like half maid, half person."
- "Yes but you're a person and
"you're also a cheeky boy."
- "Did you have a crazy nightmare
last night or something?"
- "I had a little bit of nightmare, yes."
- "What was happening?"
- "I remember the time when I was aboard
"The Hangman with you father
and I watched my husband
"get caught in the rigging
and hung during a storm.
"Sorry hanged."
- "Wow."
- "Oh, I'm so sorry."
- "Oh, it's all right
he was a devil of man."
- "Oh, like literally a devil of a man?"
- "No, just one of the most
notorious halfling pirates,
"he served as first mate
under Captain Seacaster
"for a long time.
"There was real love there
but also genuine hatred.
"The marriage was hard at time but yes
"I had some memories of a terrible fight
"in a storm when I was a
member of your father's crew."
- "Wait, so why did they
want you to come here?"
- "Yeah, I'm gonna go talk to the owner."
- Cool, you go and talk to the owner,
the owner is still there.
But yeah, a young Earth Genasi woman.
She looks up to you and says,
"Hi are you here from
the insurance company?
- "No, I'm assisting the police."
- "Okay."
- "In an arcane capacity."
- "Oh okay, yes, are you from Aguefort?"
- "Yeah."
- "Lovely great.
"So I don't know if you could use magic
"to find out who..."
- "I mean I can try."
"I'm gonna, yeah."
- Are there security cameras
or what are we working with?
- Yeah, can I cast Detect Magic?
- Cool, you cast Detect Magic,
do the ritual to cast it.
The Shatter spell was cast here.
- Ah okay.
- It was cast by a bard.
Give me an Arcana check.
- I'm gonna have a help action
from my little Boggy buddy.
And that's a good thing
'cause I got a Nat 20.
- Fig came here, you
recognize Fig's magic.
- "Ah, interesting.
"Yes this seems, I'm
gonna talk to the police
"about what I have found here.
"Which is some clues."
- Great, love that.
"Would love to get to the bottom of this."
- "Yes."
- "Yes."
- "And they will help you more."
Can I can Mending on some of this stuff?
- Sure, yeah, absolutely.
- It's somewhat futile because it's
on each break and it's glass.
- On each break putting
the glass back together.
You start casting and you see that
a cop comes over to you and says,
"Are you Ms. Adaine Abernant?"
- "Yes, that's me."
- "Great, we have a little APB about you
"because we were at w*r
with your family's nation"--
- "Right, yes, that's understandable."
- "A you're an important spiritual figure.
"So we add a little thing.
"Thanks so much for
helping out, love this."
- "Oh of course."
- "This is tampering with a crime scene."
- "Oh right!"
- "So we're gonna ask you to stop."
- "I am so sorry, I was just tryna"--
- "You're a good egg, we get it."
- "The mess was really stressing me out."
- "Listen we keep things
fast and loose here
"at the Elmville P.D., we're not trying to
"bust anybody's ba*ls."
- "You're great.
"You're the best police."
- "Hey for the most part
we go and investigate
"but you got the Adventuring Academy,
"and you know yeah yeah."
- "Did you go to the Adventuring Academy?"
- "No, I went to Mumple."
- "Mumple's also a great school."
- "Hey I hear ya.
"Well if you could use magic to undo
"what you did that'd be great."
- Yeah, I just kind of smash it.
I have no way of doing
what it was that phased in.
- He's like, "How about
it, magic is wild."
- Wow.
- "Yeah that was magical."
Can I cast Locate Creature on Fig?
I think the likelihood of her being
within a thousand feet is low but—
- You cast the spell, nothing comes back.
- Okay.
- Can I call the hotel and
see if she's checked in?
- Cool, you call the Hotel Cavalier.
You call the Hotel Cavalier you hear
a voice coming on saying,
"This is the Hotel Cavalier.
"To whom do I have the
pleasure of speaking?"
- "Oh, hi, yeah, this is
Teddy Guyger and I am calling"--
- Did she say Teddy Guyger?
- Yeah, I think I believe she said
her name was Teddy Guyger.
- T.B. Geeger and—
- She looked at her Teddy
Bear and then at the store.
- It's crazy that they have a
Geiger counter store in the mall.
- "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm
with all my colleagues.
"We are calling to see if our colleague
"already checked into this hotel."
- "I'm so sorry, we don't
give away guest information."
- "Oh no, no problem.
"We are, actually, I'm the Assistant
"and I would lose my
job if I'm not able to,
"you know, get this information.
"I have all of her confirmation numbers."
- "You're who's Assistant?"
- "We're looking for Fig."
- "Fig?"
- "Figeroth Faeth."
- "Figeroth Faeth."
- "Oh, the extremely famous rockstar?"
- "Yes and that is even more reason
"why I have to make sure she checked in.
"You know rock stars are always overdosing
"and you gotta make sure they're
still alive for the show."
- "Sure, absolutely.
"So you're Figeroth Faeth's Assistant?"
- Can I cast Friends through the phone?
- Go ahead and give me a
Persuasion check with disadvantage.
- All right great, interesting.
- Bowling in alley.
- Aye, okay, cool.
So it's a 21.
- With disadvantage?
- Oh no, sorry, yeah, no you're right.
- Seven plus.
- Yeah, six, so 13.
- You see the voice says,
"So you're Figeroth Faeth's Assistant?"
- "Yes and I have some Narcan that
"need to get to her immediately."
- "Gotcha.
"And your best way of
finding out where your
"employer is is to call me,
the front desk of the hotel?"
- "Look, let me level with you,
"what did you eat for lunch today?"
- "Take the phone."
- Can I grab it?
- "Take the phone."
- "Hi this is Gorgug Thistlespring,
"you might know me from the same band."
- "Oh, hi, Mr. Thistlespring hello."
- "I also, clearly,
I'm checking in there."
- Go ahead and give me just
a flat Persuasion roll.
- Persuasion, I got a 10.
- So she says, "Yes Mr. Thistlespring
"we have a room ready for you."
- "Great and just double
checking, did Fig check in?"
- "Mr. Thistlespring, I am so sorry"--
- "She's talking about doing maybe
"this thing with her friends,
so I was just figuring it out
"'cause I was thinking of bringing my
friend Teddy Guyger.
"And I was wondering if
there was free room"--
- "Assistant, her Assistant."
- "Well you see it's funny 'cause
"Fig's Assistant is my friend."
- "Okay."
- "That's how she got the job."
- "Well how about this?
"We can't give away guest information
"but what we can do is we'll leave a note
"at the front desk and if that person
"has checked in all we're
gonna do is let them know.
"And then they'll get in
touch with you right away."
- "Nice."
- "Gorgug don't you do
that, don't do that."
- "One second."
- "Hi this Fabian Aramaris
Seacaster son of Bill Seacaster."
- "Okay."
- "And I'm sure you know Bill Seacaster."
- "Yes, Bill Seacaster,
Terror of the Sea."
- Yes!
- "Fantastic, I'm gonna
need Fig's information.
"Where is she, how is she
doing, vitals everything."
- Go ahead and give me
Persuasion with disadvantage.
- Right.
Two Nat 20s.
That's a 10.
- "Well Mr. Seacaster as I've said
"to the two other people standing,
"I assume right next to you"--
- "Yeah Teddy Guyger and"--
- "And Gorgug Thistlespring"--
- "Yes.
- "We don't guest information
so there's nothing I can do"--
- "Okay, one second, one second
"I'm gon' put you on with my friend.
"Do it Adaine, you got this."
- "You can do it."
- "This is it."
- I hang up.
- No!
- What have you done?
- You were the one!
- You see that Boggy the frog
goes
in the little way of
like that's a good thing,
phone anxiety is real, don't do that.
You don't need to put
yourself through that.
- We were just wearing him down so—
- Exactly, it was a bowling pin situation.
- Sandra Lynn looks at you guys and says,
"Look, we have all the
information we need from here.
"Let's get in the van, hit the old dusty."
- I was gonna ask what they had for lunch
and I was gonna say I'll double it.
- For lunch, let's leave.
- Oh that's good.
- You see that Gilear
comes, Gilear comes out.
All the way through the mall he has
toilet paper stuck to his shoe
that goes fully back down the mall—
- To the roll.
- To the roll.
- Great, it's still on the roll.
- I Mage Hand it off his heel,
I can't even deal with having
the interaction with him.
- He is gonna make a Dexterity check.
- No.
- A Dexterity Saving throw.
That's a 12, what's your DC?
- My Spell Save DC is 15.
- He fully face-plants (slaps
hands) as you Mage Hand.
He goes.
- "Gilear I am so sorry."
- "What has happened?"
- I help him up.
- "Thank you."
- "Don't have to take him."
- You see that he looks up and says,
"I am very sorry I was engaged in a
"true battle of wills
there in the bathroom
"for the better part of
the last 90 minutes."
- "No, that's because you were drinking
"lemonade and milk mixed together.
Don't do that again.
- We're all about to hop in the van.
- Yeah, let's go, let's get a move on.
- "But I just want to double check,
"do you need to go back in there?"
- "Yes."
- "Will you make it quick?"
- Can we just make him a little nest
to sh*t in in the van?
- Can you just heal him, can you heal him?
- Yeah, can you, can on of you take—
- "Cast, you have so many healing spells."
- All right I can Bane on...
- You cast Bane on Gilear, you cast Bane,
he full shits himself in
the middle of the mall.
And he says—
- We have to be in the van
with him, stop doing bits.
- You see he says, "My
problem has solved itself
"in the worst possible way."
- "Great."
- I cast Mending on him to clean him up.
- He's cleaned up and you see he says,
"I won't lie this is deeply humiliating
"but honestly a better
use of all of our time.
"If this needs to be the way
"this happens going forward,
I can live with it."
- "No, you're right, we're sorry.
"This is too sad.
"You did a great job, you're
wearing the Intern lanyard
"which did you buy that separately?
"Yeah, did you make that?"
- Officially, what is
our hireling situation?
We have—
- Ragh Barkrock, Cathilda the maid.
- Last name, "The maid."
- And it's human.
- You see Cathilda,
Cathilda looks up and says,
"My last name is actually
Kaley if anyone is wondering."
- Yes.
- Cathilda Kaley.
- Cathilda Kaley.
- "Thank you Cathilda."
- A.K.A. the maid.
- "You are a legitimate halfling person."
- "Who's also a maid."
- "See the nice thing about
having unseen servants
"as a child is that they were de-humanized
"so I always make sure that
I know the difference."
- Tracker, Cathilda—
- Ragh.
- Ragh.
- And then—
- Sandra Lynn and Gilear.
- Gilear.
- The intern.
- Gilear's an intern, great.
- Gilear is the intern, yeah.
- Gilear looks around and says,
"Very well, let us embark in that case."
- "Where's the van?"
- You see that Sandra Lynn points and say,
"The van all right."
- What?
- You see that Gorgug's got the
Thistlespring van out there,
a old clunker of a van.
So just for some mise en
scene, we have a Griffin
flying over the highway
with Sandra Lynn on it,
Fabian on the Hangman, and then in the van
we've got Kristen, and
Tracker, Adaine, and Gorg.
So Adaine's shotgun and Gorgug's driving.
Cathilda, Ragh, and then
Gilear way in the far back.
- Whoo!
- "Gilear can hop on with
you again if you want."
- He says, "Fabian if
you would like me to ride
"on the back of The Hangman I can.
"I warn you, it didn't sit
well with me last time."
- "Yes we were talking
before you all arrived
"about the vibrations and how
they affect his insides"--
- "No thank you."
- "So, I'll be riding solo."
- So you guys get in van, on The Hangman,
and on the Griffin.
Sandra Lynn—
- oh!
- Was that, what's up?
- Can I talk to, before
we leave, to
what am I thinking of, Riz's mom?
- Yes, Riz's mom actually pulls up
in a squad car before
you guys all head out.
- Can I show her the photo and ask
who is in this photo with her husband?
- Great call.
- There you go, there you go.
Look at that, we don't need The Ball.
- So you see Sklonda pull up,
talk to Sandra Lynn a little bit.
She looks and say,
Okay, we're gonna keep peeling,
"we're keeping our eyes
peeled for Riz here.
"If I know Riz, if he's somewhere
"no one will be able to
keep Riz tied up for long.
"And if he's anywhere,
he'd be chasing Fig down.
"So as likely as anywhere he's following
"Fig to Bastian City as well.
"Kristen what does he need help with?"
- "Yeah, we actually went to his office
"and we saw signs of a
struggle and we ended up
"fighting something that
wasn't him but took his form.
"But before we did we found this photo
"and it looks like it's
of your late husband
"but he has his arm out.
"Was he like a joker like that?
"Would he be pretending"--
- She takes the photo and amazingly says,
"What do you mean he has his arm out?"
- "Like, you know, he's got his arm out
"kind of like Fig.
- "Can we look at the picture again?
- "Same picture."
"- Who do you see then?"
- "His partner Kalina."
- "What do you mean his partner?"
- "What do you mean,
'What do I see there?'"
- "His partner."
- "But isn't he Riz's dad?"
- "Not partner in a romantic sense.
"He was working for Solace deep undercover
"in the foreign service"--
- "We can't see anyone in the picture."
- "We can't see anybody there."
- "We just see him holding his arm out."
- "What do you mean, you
can't see him there?"
- "We just see in the center
of that red circle is nothing."
- "Nothing."
- Can we show it to everybody else
and see if everybody else sees that too?
- You look and see...
She looks around, let me see.
Ragh, Cathilda, Sandra Lynn, da, da, da.
Sandra Lynn takes it and says,
"I can see somebody."
- "Oh so we see."
- "What are we working with here?"
- "Wait, what does Sandra Lynn see?"
- You see she says, "I see
a Tabaxi woman in a dress."
- "Did you meet her?"
- Oh by the way, Tabaxi for those
that don't know are cat folk.
You see that she says that
it's a Tabaxi woman in a dress.
And you see that Sklonda says,
"Right, that's who the
photograph is of, it's Kalina."
- "So you never met her?"
- "No, I met Kalina many times."
- "Sandra Lynn didn't?"
- Sandra Lynn says, "No
I've never met this woman."
- So are they both—
- A certain age?
- Yeah an age or like a race?
- No, they're very different.
- Yeah.
It would seem that there's some spell
upon the photo that keeps
us from seeing it but not—
- "But it doesn't have a spell on it."
- "Yeah, you've checked."
- Are you sure it doesn't
have a spell on it?
- Can I cast Dispel Magic on it?
- You cast Dispel Magic on it.
Nothing happens.
- I cast Detect Magic, it
says there's no magic on it.
I cast Dispel Magic nothing happens.
- Sklonda says, "I'm sure I believe you.
"Look Kalina worked as an agent
"on behalf of Fallinel,
the Elvin home land.
"She was an ally of a number of,
"she moved to Fallinel originally.
"She wasn't from Fallinel originally but
"she grew up there in the secret service.
"She was a very accomplished spy
"and she worked hand and hand when the
"Elvin government and the
Solesian government collaborated.
"So she worked with Pok
for a long long time.
"You know what?
"She was a very gifted
spy and it's possible
"that she had some cloaking magic on her
"or something like that."
- "Then, that's so strange, why would you
"be able to see her and we don't?"
- "Why would both of these
women be able to see her?"
- "Do you have dark vision?"
- Both Sandra Lynn and Sklonda
say, "Yeah, we both do."
- "Does anyone else
here have dark vision?"
- "I have dark vision."
- "Oh."
- Yeah, but you can't see anything.
- Well we have Sandra on our
party right, like with us?
- Yeah.
So that's good.
- Yeah Sklonda looks and says,
"Clearly Riz figured something out,
"so I would ask him."
She points to the red marker.
She says, "I haven't seen Kalina in years.
"Obviously Pok passed away
when Riz was very young.
"But other than that"--
- "Thank you."
- "Cool, thank you."
- You see that...
She looks up and says,
"Why did you mention
"the thing about the
joke, about Pok joking?"
- "Because we see nothing
so he has arm out.
- "Right, got it, sorry.
"The funny thing about this
picture, why we kept it,
"is there is a joke,
which is Kalina is joking
"because Kalina didn't drink.
"So she's raising her paw
but there's nothing in it.
"So the reason Pok looked so charming
"is that he's cheersing and she is not."
- "Unless she has an invisible drink,"
- "That could be it, maybe that's it.
"I'm gonna keep looking for my son.
"Best of luck finding Fig,
I'm sure if you find one
"you'll find some way to the other.
"Be in touch, I'm on my crystal.
"As long as you're within
the bounds of Solace
"you're in service, please
keep me apprised, okay?"
- "We'll bring The Ball back."
- "I prefer Riz, Fabian but that's okay."
- "Let's go get our Ball back."
- "He likes it."
"Lets go."
- "Let's go get our Ball back."
So you guys take off, you guys peel out—
- Does this count as a short rest?
- This does count as a short rest.
- Great.
- "We look cool as hell."
- I love this.
You guys hit the road—
As you do so, peeling down the highway
Sandra Lynn
looking at the distance
going to find her daughter.
You guys tear off, towns pass by.
This is the first time in the world
of Fantasy High we've ever left Elmville.
True adventure.
So in the very back of the van,
Gilear is taking lunch orders for people
to call ahead down the road.
Tracker and Kristen are side by side,
she's got her hand on your knee
with her head leaning against you.
You got Cathilda sitting next to Ragh
passing out snacks.
And then in the front seat,
you got Adaine and Gorgug,
and then Fabian side by side
and Sandra Lynn overhead.
You guys tear down, make it all the way
to Bastian City and pull up in front
of the harbor hotel the Hotel Cavalier
in the spiring downtown sections.
Get it spiring, spire?
- Boo.
- Of the place where it all happens.
Millions of fantastical inhabitants
of the busy bustling
metropolis of Bastion City.
And with that, that's all for this week.
- Wow!
- Yeah!
- On Fantasy High.
Tune in next week as we kick down the
door of the Hotel Cavalier.
See you next week at 10 p.m. eastern.
