(Upbeat music)
- Hello one and all, welcome
to another exciting episode
of the unsleeping city season two.
I'm your humble dungeon
master Brennan Lee Mulligan
and with me as always
are our intrepid heroes.
Say hi intrepid heroes.
- (All)Hi intrepid heroes!
- Happy halloween for
indeed it is all hallows eve.
In the great city of New
York, and on the hustling
and bustling subways.
All know the fanfare and revelry
of the big apple during the
halloween.
Yes, many go out in their sexy
versions of normal uniforms
and costumes and some really
artsy people do things that
you like, wow, that's really
an incredible piece of art.
Like that's a mechanical wonder
like, I knew a guy one time
who just went as a chair and
he had a stool built into the
costume and when he sat down,
it just was like a chair in
the street.
So that's pretty cool.
- Could you sit on him?
- Yes, you could sit on him
while he was sitting on himself.
Such wonders await in the
unsleeping city, where our
intrepid heroes leaped onto
the back of a rattling a train
bound north for one final
terrifying destination.
The end of the line, as the
conductor of the train announced
over the squeaking pa in a
ruined c*ck at one end of the
train,
you open the doors to see a
crowded subway car filled with
Yes, people in costume.
There's a pirate and a superhero and
a dracula and other
various things but those.
- Another pirate?
- Another pirate?
- Another pirate like Kingston.
But those were not the people
that you had to worry about.
Because indeed, it was
the people not in costume.
Some, you know people on
their way to some dreary event
or other commuters people
working the grind people in the
rat race, just standing
slack jaw lackadaisical,
not moving further into the subway car,
an act of pure malice, manifested by
the presence of anti populi
pure misanthropy in spiritual
form that seems to have
suffused every inch of this
terrifying runaway subway car.
We come now to battle, we
have rolled initiative,
and we are going to leap right into it.
First things first, we
jumped now into roll 20 oh my
goodness gracious and we
see here, a very long map.
But if you zoom in, you'll
see where all your tokens are
in the very upper left
hand corner right here
and we're going to
go ahead and remove the roof
here so that you may see ahead
of you into the car itself.
Wow.
You see a vast and terrible
subway car stretching out ahead
of you and you see the
zombies that now await.
The reality of the train car flickers
and you see that yes, on the
surface level, this was happening
here in reality, but you
are all I mean, Pete you know
immediately that something is
happening, Nod is being pushed
out into the waking world by
the presence of this anti
populi, this primordial
oozing hatred for the norms
and customs of the city of New
York.
And the subway car in front
of you erupts where the
benches erupt into tombstones,
you're in kind of a
mausoleum, a graveyard, if you will.
And you see these groaning
shapes of these people with no
care or consideration for their
fellow passengers turn their
heads.
The passengers who were
themselves trapped, do not
appear to be here any longer
or if they are here, they're
back in the waking world while
while all of you are caught
in a pure bubble of dream
energy, and only these subway
etiquette malefactors remain.
First to act in our initiative order.
Vox phantasma himself
Mr. Pete Conlon, Pete.
- Well, okay, um,
I, what is my movement again?
Good lord. Okay, yeah, I'm
gonna, I'm gonna run straight
ahead through that door,
right here.
- Hell yeah, boom.
- Okay, cool.
- And by the way, the
cells of this battle are
actually not five feet wide.
They're actually three and
a half feet wide because
New Yorkers know how to fight
with less space on a crowded
subway.
And we wanted to be more
accurate to the actual width of
subway cars.
- Great.
- Um, so Pete, you rush forward to where
that first zombie lurches.
- Yes and I would like to
cast dispel evil and good
and break enchantment on
that first zombie if I can.
- Hell yes.
So break enchantment would
help a possessed creature.
Dismissal is a melee attack on
to drag him back to its home
plane, the creature must succeed
on charisma saving throw, right.
So do you want to do
the dismissal function ?
- I guess can I tell
if this is a New Yorker
who has been possessed or
if this is just a full creature
itself that I could use
dismissal on?
- Give me an arcana check.
- Oh, yeah 17.
- Um you feel that you
are interacting with an
element of the real life people
that is itself misanthropic
and tainted.
So in other words, you don't think
that hurting this entity would
hurt the real life person
attached to it you are effectively
attacking that person's
misanthropy and active
disdain for their fellow New
Yorkers made manifest
within the dream realm.
- Okay, um, so
then I guess I'll do that dismissal.
- Hell yes let's go ahead and.
- And for that, I'm gonna
actually use my teapot.
So it looks like I just
sprinted forward and poured
myself a little cup of tea,
but then I like forced them to
drink it.
Weaponized tea.
- Incredible this is a charisma
saving throat from a zombie
not great g*ng.
Oh, this creature has a
minus three to charisma.
It needs a natural 20 to make the save.
Close on the die that's a 14.
Um Pete, you leave for into the
track whoo tea surrounds you
down the gullet of this zombie.
That comes apart and the spiritual
malignancy of this person
is shunted out of existence
as the corpse deanimates
and collapses into bile and
goo on the ground in front of
you.
- Whoo yee haw.
- Yee f*cking haw, g*ng.
- So rad.
- That is rad as hell, Kingston
that's going to be you.
- Uh, okay, as I like walk
into this like subway car.
Can I make a perception
check to see into the next
subway car or is that impossible?
- Give me a perception check, man.
- That's gonna be a 22.
- 22 you do see into the next
subway car but on 22 I'm going
to make you choose between
seeing the dream realm version or
seeing the waking world version?
- Oh, great question.
I'd like to see the waking world version.
- You see, there is
a large family of tourists,
like a group of families on kind
of, they're wearing the same
t-shirt they have whistles and
fanny packs and the dad of the
family is loudly announcing
to the group of tourists.
g*ng we got to be safe here okay,
if you put your arm in that
subway door, it's gonna
take that on right off okay,
I've seen it happen okay.
This is your first time coming
to the city you got to watch
out you have to be careful I
want you to keep your eyes on
your buddy and stay around
don't talk to any of these
f*cking people.
That's what you see in the next car.
- Great uh, that needs to stop now.
I'll charge right into
like this this throuple
of zombies right here.
- Hell yeah.
- And can I cast turn undead?
- Oh, I would love it if you did.
So yeah, Pete leaps out
tea pots this one zombie
and Kingston you rush out past
your buddy Pete your fellow
Vox of the city enter
this group of zombies.
Go ahead and let us turn undead.
- So they all make dc 15
destroy on dead so if they fail,
they just die.
They're instantly destroyed.
Excuse me, they don't die
they're instantly destroyed.
- Oh my god and the range
on that is 30 feet correct?
- Yes.
- Holy sh*t.
- Did that reveal some
more people coming out.
- Cr one or lower let's go
and check this out here.
- What's the cr?
- What is the cr indeed?
Um, hold on one second.
- This feels like at the
Olympics when they have to check
something it's like well maybe
we're gonna win this is the
difference between a gold medal
for me and not a gold medal.
- Um, okay, let's roll
these wisdom checks.
The DC on these is I believe 17 correct?
- You don't have to believe you
can know, you can know
that it is in your heart.
- How wise are the zombies,
they're a little bit wiser
than they are charismatic, but not by much
these guys need 19s or
higher to make the Save.
That's a two a six and a 14
Kingston what do you say as you
stride into the middle of the
zombies lurching towards you.
- I like I think I just walk
forward, lift my token aloft
and I'm like, this only works
if we are kind to one another.
And shine.
- All of those zombies erupts
in lights full like our
opening of the ark of the covenant.
They like exalt forward, their
mouths open pure street lamp
light blast out of their mouths,
and they all three of them are
unmade in that instant around
Kingston Brown.
- There we go.
- There we go let's
get it done incredible.
Well g*ng that would have
been the zombies turn.
But there is one zombie left
in the car actually with a
speed of 20 feet.
- He can dash if he would like to.
- Yes, we are going to go ahead
and this zombie right here
is going to move and dash to
close with Kingston Brown.
With no action left as it charges you.
That is going to be
Cody night Angel Walsh.
- Cody is so amped this is just
a sword guy just finds out magic is real.
He is in the movie
underworld and he's happy.
He's going to
charge down I guess get
like like run past Pete
and over by Kingston here and
he's going to point at the
zombie and go I am the
ambassador of the dark lord, I
command you to chill.
And I'm going to use channel
divinity control undead has to
make a wisdom saving throw or
else I gained control of it
for 24 hours.
- 24 hours!
- This zombie rolled a
natural 18 which is a 16.
- f*ck.
- Does 16 make the save?
- Yes.
So you go I command
you see the zombie goes
and just checks its
smartphone again real quick
and seems somewhat distracted.
- f*cking pay attention to me f*ck.
- So perfect that your
first act of magic failed.
- I just, I look at
Kingston and I look at Pete
I go I don't give a sh*t.
(talking over each other)
- You did okay it's fine.
- It's fine.
- Um incredible.
That is now going to be a Sofia
Lee first fist of the order
of the concrete fist let's go.
- So okay, can I see through?
So this space in between this
car and the next car right?
Is there a point of dim light in there?
- Um, do you mean it
connecting this last car
with the second to last car?
- Yeah.
- Um there actually, no, I mean there's no
light so that is the sort of
darkened external connector
portion between the two cars.
When you go through one door,
you're temporarily like,
you're I mean, you're you know,
you're riding in between
the two trains, but you are
technically like outside
and it's in darkness.
- Yeah. Okay,
so I basically um, I need
to be within 60 feet so I'll
walk forward like two squares
and then I want to teleport
there, then use the rest
my movement to reveal what's
in to enter the next car reveal
it and I still have my attack.
- Hell yes.
- A little different from last season.
- Just a little.
- Hell yes Sofia you got it
go ahead and teleport to the
space in between cars and you
will see what happens in that
car with the aggressively anti
local tourists in the next
car.
- Okay so she basically like
moves two steps forward so
that she can see through and
then she teleports 60 feet here
hanging on
hanging on to the door and
peek it and like kicks the door
open to see what the f*ck
is happening in there.
- Hell yes.
Yeah, Sofia.
- Use a stiletto heel to
make to make the door move.
- Sofia you leap into the car
you guys see Sofia who has
mastered this new way of the shadows.
You appear completely riding
with one foot on each of the
two cars as it pitches forward.
This car is going probably
upwards of 90 miles an hour.
Woo stations are screaming
past you as this express
train takes off northbound.
You look in see those tourists going.
Look out Jimmy I want you
to stay away from that man
nobody touch anything.
And everything the dream world
bubbles up with this toxic
miasma of hatred and misanthropy,
fear and misunderstanding
and you feel yourself flash
into the dream world this is
some sh*t that like normally
only Pete is able to do
and it appears to be happening
not because Pete is commanding it
but like to the entire
physical location you are in.
It really does feel like
something being pushed
or squeezed out into the waking world.
This probably triggered something in
Sofia in terms of all the sh*t
she has been reading about.
This feels actually go ahead
and give me either arcana or
religion if you want and
you can go with advantage.
- Okay.
- Go with advantage.
- Which is just better, they're the same.
Okay, I did poorly I got a seven.
- Seven cool. This is
f*cked up and you're about to
fight on this train but some
crazy sh*t is going down.
- You know, I've been reading a lot
about this right now but right
now I'm just kind of feel
cool for surfing the subway.
- All of those tourists like
all the people that they are
bothering by loudly talking
about how dangerous and bad this
city is.
All of those the people
listening vanish, and that family
just starts going.
And a group of ghosts wearing
fanny packs and baseball hats
appears in a green ectoplasmic
translucent subway car
directly ahead of you.
You have movement and your action left.
- I do have movements so let
me I'm going to enter that
car.
I think I only took like seven
feet of movement before so I
can definitely get to.
Let me see I could run up to
this square right here so that
I could potentially attack both of them.
Can I do that?
To try to and I'll take an
opportunity attack from this one
ghost.
- Yes, absolutely go for it.
- Okay.
- I mean, it's frickin halloween in here.
- I do can I do an insight
check to make sure it's not just
cute children dressed as ghosts.
- Go ahead and make an insight check yes.
- Okay well, I did get an eight so.
- You're pretty sure these
are some spooky damn ghosts.
- Uppercut a nine year old.
- Yeah, it's gonna take
a swing at you bada boom
that's a nat 20 to hit.
- It's fine sometimes getting
hurt makes me stronger.
- Ha ha.
- Literally mechanically.
- Let's do it.
That's going to be some
heavy necrotic damage coming
Sofia's way.
That is
three ,six .11 .17 .19 .23
.25 .28 points of damage to
Sofia as
she leaps forward into the subway car.
- Damn it it almost got
me down to get my thing.
- To get your radiant?
- Yeah, um, I take it uh, I'm
disappointed it wasn't more
and I then I'm gonna go
I'm going to attack this
one directly in front of me.
Since after I shadow step
my first attack after
shadow step is with advantage.
Does a 25 hit?
- 25 sure does hit.
- okay, so
that is 10 damage but I'm
going to try it but I'm
going to spend a ki
point to stunning strike.
- Okay.
- So I can stun the ghost.
- Cool, stunning strike
is a wisdom save what's
your dc again?
- 14.
- Stun the ghost.
- 14 the ghost the
ghost Oh, but incredibly
these ghosts can be stunned
this one makes it save.
- It makes its save okay.
- Absolutely insane that
these guys can get rocked so
hard that they get like
the flumoxed and dazed spectral
entities.
- Just imagining decking Casper
and Casper goes Oh my bell.
- I need to sit down dude.
- I might go stun him
then stun another one,
but I will attack him again.
- Cool go for it.
- That's definitely gonna hit
that's a 26 so that's another
eight damage and I'm going to now, save it.
No, why save it?
I'm going to try stun him again.
- Hell yeah how much damage you
done over those two attacks?
- Um, I did 18.
- 18 hell yeah and gonna
make another save for being
stunned.
- Actually, you know what?
I'm not gonna try stun
him again.
My plan was to try to stun
multiple ones but if I failed
I'm gonna save my ki
points thank you though.
- Sofia
You leap past one Rick you
can feel the searing cold the
necrotic damage as one goes
like oh my god, that woman is
running on the subway
and you leap forward and
pow! Uppercut this goes boom!
haymaker again and injure one
of the ghosts there in that
second car.
Next in the initiative
order is our dear friend
Ricky Matsui that's you.
- Tight.
I think Ricky
looks at Cody's chest and
sees the redemption on it and
realizes, oh, yeah, I feel like
I should have mentioned this
before guys, but since I lost
the questing blade, I took it
as a sign that I probably
shouldn't try to hit people so
much.
So generally, I don't know
I'll do if I have to but avoiding that.
Just throwing that out there.
A new path I'm on.
- Go ahead, Ricky.
- Hell yeah as Ricky says that,
um, yeah, you guys see this
sort of holy light covers
Ricky I also forgot there
actually it is not Ricky's
turn it is about to be Ricky's
turn.
However, in the first car
something else does happen.
- Oh no, I thought I was helping
everyone by revealing the
next one.
- Hey, no, take backs dude you
said it was Ricky's turn and
Ricky did his whole thing.
Yeah, I feel like you
dropped the ball here.
- Yeah Ricky did his whole thing.
- Oh, I didn't even notice
but I love Pete's mustache.
- Yeah it's new, it's new baby.
- Pete's mustache is very, very good.
- Yeah, he's got a mustache and a
caesar he's really he's ready.
- Boom,
boom,
boom,
boom.
Skeletons erupt from the
stony floor of the subway car
as they
horrifying commuter skeletons
to join their zombie brethren,
and they are going to rush forward.
- This is why I don't get
involved it's just messy you know?
I just mind my business no skeletons.
- I think just Cody thinks all
of this stuff is rad so he's
literally looking at everybody
else's faces to see if the
skeletons are good guys or bad guys.
(All laughing)
- Yes sh*t f*ck yes.
- Okay.
- They're bad they're
bad guys come on now.
- We aren't on the those
specific skeleton side.
- Right yeah I know.
- Skeletons in the future you never know.
- All of these skeletons rush forward
and are going to take
swings at Kingston Brown.
- Me?
- At you.
- Why?
- Because you just iced
three zombies in one action.
- Sure.
- When you put it like that.
- I can't blame them, I
can't blame the zombies.
- Incredible that's going to
be the zombies taking their
swings.
- Are they zombies or skeletons?
- I'm sorry these are the
skeletons rushing forward.
- Also one zombie, right?
- There's still one zombie
left yes, absolutely.
Only one of the
skeletons manages to land a
blow for six points of damage to
Kingston Brown.
- Oh, no.
- It's not that bad.
- How's Kingston looking as
the undead descend on him
in a subway car.
- 80 still at 80 it's a scratch.
- So everyone knows the ghost
hit for actually a lot more.
So, like ready yourself for that,.
- Um, as you all search forward,
um Ricky, a different kind
of light shines around you not
the bright and glaring civic
light of your firefighter self from
three years ago, but a
gentle or warmer, kinder
and softer, more radiant light.
As you now tread the path of
redemption you are a different
kind of hero now
and you feel the power welling
up within you and it is your
turn.
- I guess Ricky
looking at these skeletons,
can I make a check on them?
Like, can I tell if it's
like an enchantment or.
- Give me either a
religion or I guess you do
religion arcana or medicine
depending on what you're
trying to figure out about.
- I'm
wondering if it's like a charm
or frightening like, or a
charm or enchantment, so I guess I'll do,
can I do medicine?
- Oh, yeah do medicine for sure.
- Nat one.
- Um, uh, you got , these
bone dudes are scary
and mean, and they're
trying to hurt your friends.
- These guys aren't great well
and also, can I go if Ox is
moving movement is 60 can I make
him take a dash and go 120?
- You absolutely can and that
does not use your movement
Ox, though he is a sweet
dalmatian and Ricky is not
riding him in real life
functions as Ricky's paladin steed.
So when you are running
alongside your dog,
you possess a superhuman speed born of
your enthusiasm to keep
up with your canine pal.
- Friend there's nothing you
can say that will not make me
picture Ricky riding his
dalmatian like a horse.
- I agree very much agree.
- You gave it an honest effort but there's
just no way.
- Unfortunately Ricky here's
the issue you cannot move
through these enemy squares at the moment.
- Damn.
- At least because they're
fully blocking the subway car.
- Okay, well, I would love
to, saw the one in front of
Kingston is still alive?
- Mmmmh
- Okay ah, great great great.
Okay, Ricky and Ox will
try to move from here to here.
- Yeah, great.
- Okay, so just move us over here.
- Dope great.
You rush up oh, yeah you got skeletons in
front of you right now.
- Mmmmh.
You know, I don't feel great
about it I know literally what
I just said but.
- This is so funny.
- I know what you're saying
dude that skeletons are f*cking
rad as hell and you think your
whole life that you're gonna
serve the Dark Lord when you
finally do you end up fighting
skeletons in your first fight
it's f*cking bizarre, but we
have to do what we have to do.
- Cody I'm gonna put in the
work to get to know you.
Right now, I gotta be honest
that's not exactly where I'm
coming from.
I will just I'm just gonna cast a
gosh, I'm going to hit the
skeleton in front of me with a
punch it and see what happens.
- Hell yeah, go ahead and make
an unarmed attack go ahead and roll.
- And for that.
I only got an 11.
- Only got an 11 gotcha and you're
adding your strength
and proficiency right?
- To the hits?
- To the to the attacker roll,
you should be adding.
- Nine, right?
- Yeah, I think I believe you
should be adding plus nine.
- Okay, so that I rolled
it too so I 11 on the
first one.
I'll just roll one more attack.
- Go for it.
- Jesus Christ at 13.
- 13 hits.
- Okay, and so for how do I
calculate unarmed damage
again, is it just.
- Unarmed damage is
gonna be your strength
plus one, but you also
can smite here if you want to.
- Yeah I will okay, so I'm automatically
doing six damage I'll
just do a level one smite
and just sort of like.
- Level one smite is actually
3D8 because these
are undead.
- Yeah.
So go ahead and roll 3D8.
- Cool.
Jesus, only eight.
- So that's eight plus six is 14.
- Yes.
- These guys
have 13 hit points.
Um, here's the thing it's up to you.
I don't know that this is
necessarily even violent I think
this is Ricky just literally
laying a glowing hand on this
skeleton and it just goes to rest.
- Yeah, I see the skeleton
and like this is hey, buddy,
maybe just hang out somewhere
else maybe you take a break
from this. and I just touched
his forehead.
- The skeleton just sorts of leans
into your hand in that way
of like, dude, thank you for
offering the support and
perspective that I needed to make
the right choice and the bones
clatter down to the ground,
and the skeleton is
disanimated in front of you.
- See you later friend.
- What's Cody's reaction
to that as he sees it?
- Yeah, I think we might
be on different paths of
redemption.
- Do you need to borrow a sword?
- Um, gosh.
- Cause I have a bunch.
- Swords are cool.
I think swords are cool,
but I also am feeling like
swords are not for me right now.
- Um Iga that is going to be your turn.
- Well, it seems to me like
everybody's got this sorted out
you know I don't Oh, gosh
okay, fine I will hit.
I will do an eldritch
blast right at this zombie.
Get this zombie out of the way.
- Hell yeah.
- That is a dirty 20.
For my first one.
- Dirty 20 hits.
- So that's four plus nine so
13 damage for the first one.
- 13 does not finish the job
but cleaves into this zombie
for sure.
- And then my second
eldritch blast is a nat one.
- Oh no.
- But you got 13 points
of damage you said?
- Yeah.
- What does Iga's
eldritch blast look like?
- Um, I think it looks fake.
Like it looks like maybe she's sh**ting
like a firework from her hand.
Like it's like a good magicians firework.
- Bottle rocket streaks out.
Incredible and we are back
to the top of the order.
That is Pete.
- All right, I
so we're not able to pass
through here it's too congested.
- It's too congested at the
moment if you have creative ways
of doing it teleporting other
modes of movement go for it.
I you know, it's not impossible,
but you can't just straight
walk through those enemies right now.
- Ah, okay.
Uh, okay, I
am going to cast fireball
using a burning a couple of
sorcery points to use careful spell.
- Hell yeah.
- So I can pick some
creatures to be safe from that.
- Hell yeah.
- So I'm just gonna cast fireball
kind of like do we see if
there any new skill I'll just
try to get all of these people
all of these guys these four.
- Dope as hell go ahead and roll
damage for fireball.
- All right, I'm gonna do let's see.
Oh, I guess I'll just keep
it at a at third okay.
(Laughing)
- Sick sick that's cool, that's real cool.
- 44.
- I probably still say
like, hey, guys, look out
but I'm definitely casting
like careful spell so that like
when flames go up nobody gets hurt.
- Roiling dream fire.
Just swirls of green and
purple and blue flame
erupt from Pete's hand.
You're like in the mix as well
protected by your own careful spelling.
Yeah, Cody this is you're
seeing some wild sh*t here, man.
All three skeletons, the zom
and the remaining zombie are
incinerated gone.
- Hell yeah.
- Yeah after Pete's turn.
I don't know if you're done
yet, Pete sorry but could I use
Ox's movement to get up to the second car?
- Ah, ooh um, I'm gonna say
I'm gonna say you can on your
next turn Ox had to stop
his turn with you in the
initiative.

an opportunity to shine.
- Did you ever think you'd be
playing a d&d character named
Cody.
- Um okay, um, Cody,

This goes that you did the compel duel.
Looks at you and goes, Oh,

And leaps at you and attempts
to jump into your heart.
Give me a charisma saving.
- What?
- Wait a second when that if
that ghost ran away from me

opportunity attack on him.
- You absolutely would go
ahead and give me an opportunity attack.
- As he went to jump into Cody's heart.
- Okay, I got a 17.
- 17.
- I literally because of my auras,
and because of having
proficiency in it because I'm a
paladin i have a plus 12 and
I just rolled a three so I
got a 15.
- Okay, Sofia, you hit on that roll?
- Yeah, so I
hit four um, I hit and this
is the ghosts that I already
attacked.
- Yes.
- So I hit for 12 more damage.
- Oh, awesome okay.

rushes towards Cody and what do you get?
- 15.
- 15 makes the save.
- Yes.
- Oh thank God.
- This ghost attempts to possess you.
- Can't possess me I have no heart.
- I'm also going to need

- Oh no.
- Is there anything I could do as.
- There is nothing you and
Sofia are fine you and Sofia.
- Two.
- Cody you age 20 years.
(All laughing)
- In the course of the f*cking
day he made a deal with a bad devil,
tried magic for the first
time failed and aged 20 years.
- He's now a 40 year old man.
- He's a 46 year old hot topic manager.
- Oh my God.
- This doesn't even have to
do with the fact that he sold
his soul this is a separate
thing that happened.
You think that rad sh*t is
gonna happen but you find out
that magic and devils are real.
- We could do something about
that all right there's a
there's a magical thing that
we can do just keep going.
- Cool I feel tired.
(All laughing)
- I don't know if you're a paladin.
Can you be affected by the
frightened condition or no?
- Oh, interesting.
- Double check if you can.
- I think I can't I
will double check that.
- I'm immune to being frightened.
That's aura of courage.
- If Cody has aura of courage,
then he should be okay if he
doesn't.
- I don't know if he would though.
- You have aura of protection and
aura of hate oh no, you
do have more of courage.
While you are conscious you and
anything in 10 feet can't be
frightened.
Okay, so you are not also
subjected to the frightened
condition as one of the ghosts
near Sofia just rends its
face with this elongates its
mouth and It's horrifying
jiggly jello moan
and you age.
Kingston and Sofia you
know you've fought undead
before so you know to like not
look directly at a ghost while
it's doing something like
this.
- Don't give it any attention.
- How am I not supposed
to look at cool sh*t.
Oh I suddenly can't handle my diet of
just pizza hut oh.
- Also, Cody, you take another
10 points of necrotic damage.
- Cody is just barfing everywhere
because he had like four
monster energy drinks today.
He was like coming out of his 20s like
still having like a teenager's
diet that is just falling
apart right now.
- Kingston confirm for me, this
is some of the craziest sh*t
you've ever seen right?
- I've been doing this for
20 plus years this is the
wildest sh*t.
You missed the part where Pete
pushed a devil into his chest
that also happened to him today.
- That one was awesome
that one was awesome.
I'll sell my soul to
anybody who can fix me.
(All laughing)
- You hear, You hear Bazathrax
in your chest be like you
can't f*cking trade dude,
he's not yours anymore.
- Then fix me you're the manager fix me.
When I was the manager and
something bad happened with an
employee I had to fix
it you have to fix this.
- Dude i don't know how, why
is your body so much less
comfortable now?
Everything's slow what's going on?
- I don't know.
- Maybe you can get out
of the contract because
the conditions changed.
Because now you're an older man.
- I just gave my soul freely forever.
- Bazathrax says tell her
there's not like too many clauses
in this contract there's not a lot.
- I can show you the contract.
- Please do I love paperwork now.
- Incredible, Sofia the attack
that just swiped across Cody
for 10 points of damage, you
duck and avoid just such an
attack from the ghost next to you.
Instead Sofia's turn.
- Okay, I think that do I have
this sense that um, do I have
the sense that it was the
sound of this ghost that this
ghost making this sound
is what made Cody age?
- Yes, you do sense that.
- Okay then I might cast I
think I'm going to cast silence
around me and these ghosts.
- oh so f*cking cool.
- So that they can't try
to do that on anyone else.
- Yes.
- Ah, that's my action is there
anything I can do to try to
keep them in this?
It's a hold on I've never cast this before
because I just saw what happened
to Cody I don't want that
to happen to anyone else.
- Hell yeah.
- Um so that it's going to
be a 20 foot radius sphere.
- Um, dope um, so 20
radius sphere absolutely.
You have a bonus action left,
you can't flurry because you
haven't taken your attack action
but you do have hexblade curse,
you do have patient defense.
- I guess I will do patient
defense and well, I kind of want
to get hit again so I yeah, I'm
gonna hexblade curse is only
once a day, I think that I'm
going to sit tight, I'm going
to sit tight and try and be a
physical barrier so they can
try to so they can't run
out of this 20 foot radius
and I shout awake before
I cast it before I cast it
I say I'm gonna make things
real quiet around me so try
and shove these ghosts in here
and then we can have a
real quiet fight with them
and then I descend into a 20 foot radius.
- Sofia summons with her
ki a radiant moment,
a bubble of pure New Yorker solitude,
the ability for like a New Yorker
to like literally be in a
subway getting like smacked in
the head with someone's bag
repeatedly over and over again
and still just be like in
their mind thinking about their
day fills a 20 foot radius
around Sofia with pure silence.
As that happens, Ricky
that's going to be your turn.
- Gotcha.
- Um, and now you got Ox's full movement.
- Okay,
with Ox's movement could I carry somebody?
- I'll say yeah if you want to
you can carry somebody go for it.
- Excuse me, my new friend in
the back of the cart would you
like to go forward?
Could I offer you a ride?
- I would yes, please thank
you I'm just sitting back here
like what can I even do? I'm so slow.
- We'll figure it out ma'am.
Ricky and Ox are going to double back
and pick up Iga and Misha at
the at the back of the cart.
And that would be let's see.
- Like 15 feet to them.
- 15 feet to them and Ox is
dashing so that's he has 105
left.
- Cool.
- So from back there going 105 from here.
- Yeah it would be.
- Yeah, come here and then you
guys won't be able to won't
be able to hear even if they scream.
- Oh, gotcha.
- Gotcha cool.
You can make it all the
way to Sofia with Iga
with no problem.
- Okay, cool i'll do that.
- So this is a little dragon
in a woman's hands in your
hands on top of your dog.
- Yes.
Rather, it's what everyone is
seeing is Ricky picks Iga up
and just bounce down
the subway with Ox going
(imitates dog barking)
bouncing off after him.
(talking over each other)
- Ah, the first ghost that you
go past takes a swing at Ox
misses by a mile.
- Okay.
I do a double take at Cody.
- We're pretty much the same, right?
- Were you this age the whole time?
Was this (indistinct)
- Who the f*ck are you man?
- I'm gonna figure you out
i'm gonna figure you out.
- I look like the f*cking
guys at Green Day man.
- Um and Ricky, you have you
have your full movement in
action in that second car.
- Okay, uh, Ricky is going to
step next to walk up to this
guy right here, can I stand right there?
- Yeah, you can jump up on
the seat it's no problem.
- Okay.
- You're fighting it's like
difficult terrain, but you have
plenty of movement to make it there.
- I'm gonna cast I don't have
protection from evil and good,
but I think I should so next
fight i'll figure that out.
I'll give Sofia a shield of faith.
- Thank you.
- Lovely and that's just a bonus action
so you have an action left.
- Oh, right I will.
God What am I gonna do?
- These are still undead so
you're you're like lay to rest
smites don't don't necessarily
they work pretty well on
these dudes.
- It's it's totally just Ricky
just like, it's like you're
watching someone do like an
escape room puzzle that's dumb.
And he like, he feels that he
shouldn't fight things, but
it's also trying to figure
out how to work around it so
yeah, I'll just try to
lay the rest smite the guy
in front of me.
- Go ahead and make an attack roll.
- Okay.
nat 20.
He's gotta be dead.
- Yeah, well, it's gonna
be your unarmed strike
does no damage to this ghost
but if you're doing a first
level smite, that's going
to be 6D8 damage to this.
- Oh, yeah.
6D8 alright, so six nine eight
so 23 damage to this guy.
- 23 damage hell yeah.
Yeah, you hit this ghost or
just you touch with your first
hand deal 23 points of
radiant damage to this ghost.
- I'm gonna say be at peace,
and touch it in the head.
- Um this ghost is still up,
but you do have another attack
left?
- Um Oh,
yeah, I'll just attack it again.
- Cool.
- 18 to hit and I
will divine smite again.
- Hell yeah.
- And that's normally in three
d six, three d eight, right?
- Normally three d eight because
it's normally two d eight
for first level these are
undead so it's three d eight.
- Uh, nine really bad rolls over here.
- This ghost is still up as
you lay these like glowing
hands.
Just trying to like, not
even harm just like restrain
this ghost he's going don't
touch me oh my god we just
wanted to come and see the m&m store.
- It's not, it's just m&ms.
- We don't have those back in Dayton.
- I have to disagree I
just have to disagree.
You might not have a whole store but.
- Iga that's gonna be you.
- Can I do a perception check
to look through the little
windows here to see
what's in the next car?
- Yeah, make a perception check.
- Great well,
that's a four.
- You don't see sh*t.
- I don't see sh*t, okay.
Well, but I'm assuming that
there's bad stuff in there.
Is there a way that I can grab
Cody but be further than 10
feet away from Kingston?
To touch Cody while being
more than 10 feet away from
Kingston?
- Yeah.
- Um, no.
- Okay.
In which case, I'm going to say
to the one in front of Cody.
I'm gonna cast suggestion on
that ghost and I'm gonna say
you know, I'm sorry to interrupt
you i think I heard your
kids say that they were thinking
about moving to the city
to study performance art.
They said they loved it here and they also
want to lick the subway pole.
(laughing)
So maybe you should go deal
with that instead of these people.
- Hell yes this ghost just
rolled for its wisdom save
does a 15 pass your dc.
- My dc is 17.
- Yeah.
- Oh no.
The ghost right in front of
Cody is the one is the one your.
- It's the one that the one
that aged him 40 years 20 years.
- You see that ghost goes,
Jason, we talked about this you
were gonna go to a state
school and then come help with
the store.
Just goes to scream this
suggestion has fully worked
on it.
- Great.
- Incredible.
- So yeah on his next time I
would love for him to attack
that guy.
I don't think I have
anything that I can do
as a bonus action.
- Cool Pete that's you.
- Okay I would like to take a full dash.
- Hell yeah.
- So that is.
- 30 feet.
It's like right into the train car.
- 30 Oh, that's a dash.
- Well, that's a movement but
you can double that if you
want to yeah.
- I'm gonna do double it baby.
- Hell yeah, catching.
- Up here I think, can I go right past?
- Yeah, that guy already
used his attack of opportunity.
- Amazing and then I'm actually
going to use um, let's see
here quicken spell to use
a fifth level banishment,
so I can banish two people.
So I'm gonna banish the one
next to the one that Siobhan
just suggested and then the
one in front of me when I land here.
- f*ck yes awesome.
- The one that's not hurt, or though?
- Yeah, the one that
whatever one's not hurt.
- Oh my god very f*cking cool
charisma saving throws dc 17.
Let's see what these ghosts
have got in the tank.
- What these ghosts got in the tank?
How much gas these ghosts got in the tank?
- A natural four and
natural two is not much.
Is this the ghost diagonally
from Sofia Or directly in
front of Sofia?
- I guess diagonally, right.
- Yeah so the two upper
ghosts in other words, not the
suggested one but the
ones closest to the wall.
Both of those ghosts vanish
in a blink you see them get
sucked straight into nod.
They are back in the sixth
burrow gone from the train.
You're still maintaining concentration on
banishment, though so careful
because if you take a lot
of damage, they might come back.
- Okay.
Do I just keep rolling for
wild magic is that still?
- Yes, absolutely.
You've been casting a couple
spots but I think yeah, give me
two rolls for these spells.
So roll number one for the for
the fireball and then
another one for this one.
- Okay,
it was a d 100.
- Oh not d 20.
- D 20 oh, of course.
It's a nine.
That's a six.
- Cool now now you're at one,
two and three give you a wild
magic surge.
Awesome Um, that's Pete
Kingston, that's you.
- Can I do a perception
check for two things.
One, what's in the next car and
two just the general sense I
have or around the like a meet
like this end that the train
is headed to?
What is the sense I
get around that and how
much time we have before that.
- You feel that you probably
have at most like three or four
rounds before you get the
end of the line, this express
train is rocketing, and the
end of the line it's going to
crash and k*ll everybody on
the real life train unless you
can stop the dream element of
it right from destroying that
give me a perception
check for the next car.
- That's gonna be 23.
- 23 and I'm going to keep
it on the waking world in the
next car you see a bunch of
people like peering and being
like, like really looking
like oh God, as there's a dude
hunkered down right near one
of the doors, who's got open
street food in his lap and
is just eating a full set of
wings and like dipping sauces
like balanced on his knee
and like touching the pole
with like grease on his hand
just like messily eating
and you can tell he opens some
kind of thing of soup that he's
like, he's having like soup
and wings at the same time
and you can it's like very
clearly homemade and pungent.
Just eat having a full like
multicourse dinner of like
balancing wet foods on the subway.
- Great I think I shout to
everyone else and I'm like, hey,
also a weird like map thing
that I'm trying to figure out.
Do we have to is that this
this car in front of our,
like tokens the final car,
or is this like a it's been
spread over three lines.
- It's been spread over three lines.
- Great.
I shout to everyone.
- We have a lot more to go.
- We have a lot more to go and
maybe not more than three or
four minutes to do it let's, let's go.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna go a full 60 dash into
this guy in front of me is
gone right he's been banished?
- Oh, the guy in front of you
is banished, the other one has
been suggested to leave
and won't take an attack of
opportunity.
One of them is going to
get a swing on you as an
attack of opportunity and miss.
- Great. Yeah, it's
60 feet for me to get into the
next car so that's what I'll
do I charge like down the
road, cut in and make it here.
- You charge into the next car
and the car with people being
like, Oh my God, why is
that guy eating so many like
complicated, wet foods, like
wings are the one of the --
like there's so many foods
that are gone once you're done
eating them and wings are nat one of them.
There's wings with the bone
and the bones are all left.
You go in and Nod bubbles up
and you're in a dark
forest and you see gazing
up where that guy eating the
wings was a massive werewolf
blood drenched eating like a human arm.
- Okay, all right yeah,
yeah, okay, we got this.
- Incredible Cody that's you baby.
- Oh man Cody is.
- Not baby, middle aged man.
- No longer 26.
- Cody is frazzled okay.
- Cody is 46.
- Cody is 47.
- 47.
- Okay,
so Cody is going to take is
now very sore body and he is
going to run a little slower
than before with exactly 30
feet of movement you
can get up to this spot.
- Cool.
- And he
has not shown himself yet
so he's gonna go all out
and he does whisper that to himself
that he's going to go
all that just this once.
He is going to bonus action
cast a thunderous smite.
- Hell yeah.
- So start talking with lightning
energy just please let me
f*cking hits and then I'm going
to great weapon master to take
minus five so that just I can
f*cking whale this thing of
just going like full fighting
games.
Huge sword with lightning
swing down and hope that I.
- Alright, let me know what you roll.
- I want this for you so badly.
- I only have a plus three to
hit now simply what Cody would
do.
- I want this so bad.
- nat 20.
(All cheering)
- Thank you God.
(Talking over each other)
- Oh my God that is so f*cking.
- We were all like praying for you.
- I can't believe it.
- Okay, add up your thunderous smite
if you're doing a divine smite now.
- I'm also going to do a divine smite.
- Go for it.
- Okay, so I'll do first level divine
smite and then the thunderous
smite and then I get plus 10
for great weapon master. I truly can't
believe that worked
out for me.
- Incredible.
- And Sofia, just you
know you're on deck next,
because the urgency of these
trains are pushing the fight
forward.
- Yeah, I'm going to just
start speeding forward.
- Hell yeah.
- Done that had I known.
- And then first smites 6D8
because it's undead and I crit.
- Yes, absolutely.
- This is awesome.
- Hell yeah.
- Cody completely forgets that he's not 27
anymore and that he lost
20 years of his life.
- I rolled so many ones
- There's those Murph rolls.
- It's still gonna be a beautiful hit.
- You don't have great
weapon fighting do you?
- I do.
- Oh yeah you crit, you go again.
- You can reroll those ones.
- Yeah, hang on.
- Incredible.
- Oh, that's true if you
have great weapon mastery.
Oh you're probably using
a bonus action for smites.
- Yeah one sec okay.
- 67 dammage.
- My God Cody runs up.
Cody has a bad back is your
duster does not really fit
correctly but you just love
your shirt explodes in flame
along your new chest piece
you bring the buster sword
overhead in the roof of the
sub way will not allow this you
shear like scissors through
fabric through the roof of the
subway overhead nail the ghost
into the floor of the subway
such that there is an expl*si*n
of fire and light the ghost
shreds into ectoplasm
disappearing into the now visible
wheels and undercarriage
through the hole you made in the
floor of the subway car.
In the distance.
- I understand now I had to
pay for 20 years of my life to
do something that sick it was ruthless.
- Honestly age looks good on you.
- Incredible.
- I still have another attack.
- Oh yeah.
- I can't see
anything else right?
- No.
- There's nothing in that forest cool.
- Oh, actually yeah, you
can see a werewolf under the tree.
- Sweet I'm gonna chuck at ninja
star just into the into the
other train.
- Give me an attack roll.
- That one is a 22 hit.
- 22 hits baby.
- That one is just seven damage.
- Um, it pings of your non
silver replica like like magazine
bought ninja star pings
off of the werewolf's hide.
Um, and, uh, Cody, you have
smoked a ghost into the bowels
of the subway and then hucked
one of your like machine
press ninja stars into
the next subway car.
Uh, Sofia, that is you.
- Okay, I just need to take
the temperature of the group.
It seems as though we need to
get to the front of the of the
train as quickly as we can
we are quite far from it.
I may leave you all to try to
get to the front of the train.
Does this sound okay?
- That sounds great that's a great idea.
- I would like to look through
into this i'm assuming that
since this is a forest
there's some dimness in here.
- Yes, absolutely.
- Okay, so I'm going to step
of the wind 60 feet into here.
So I go to that spot and then
I'm going to do a full dash
action.
- Hell yeah.
- And go 90 more feet.
- Incredible.
Um werewolf is going to get
an attack opportunity on you.
- I have, what is shield of faith?
- It gives you a plus two.
- Plus two ac.
- Okay, so I'm 21 ac right now.
- That is a miss from the
werewolf, you can continue to move
through the car.
- Okay, so now I'm going to
go 28 feet to the next car.
- And now you're actually in
that second car in the second
line.
- Okay.
- So we'll go ahead and
move you there and I'll
describe what you see as you
enter that car and I think you
make it part of the way into that one.
- Oh, I see.
So that the one with the
tree is the same one with
the tree right there.
- Yeah, the one with the
tree is the werewolf one.
How much more movement do
you have when you exit the
werewolf car?
- When I, so I used 28
movement when I got in there so
90 minus 28 so.
- You have like 60 feet of movement left?
- Yeah.
- Incredible.
You make it all the way to
that next car you can probably
get through that car if you need to.
- Yeah I will.
- You walk into a car that as you see the
waking world version of it you
see that there is a this is a
an emotional turmoil car, there
is a loud couple breaking up
publicly in the corner of the subway.
Just sort of weeping and talking to
each other about how things fell apart.
There is another guy
sitting in a subway car just
pointedly trying to befriend
someone reading with headphones.
(All laughing)
- This car is so funny and I
really want to stay but I gotta
f*cking get to the next one.
Take all the opportunity attacks.
- Amazing that people turn into
to kind of like modern day,
modern day vampires into like
a lustfull millennial vampire
relationship and the dude
trying to befriend a stranger
becomes Dracula as you
rush through here, amazing.
They're gonna take some swings at you.
You're ac is 21.
- 21 sorry.
- 21.
Okay, one of them I
believe is going to hit.
- Shield.
- Huh?
Shield.
Hold on one second.
- 27 ac.
- 27 ac.
- Sorry 26.
- 26 yeah, doesn't get
the job done to hit to hit
Sofia.
You Sprint through there that is Sofia's.
Do you have any movement left?
That's Sofia turn.
- Yeah yeah, I still have 60.
- Oh Jesus.
- Cause I used 28 to get into this one
and now I can use my 62 left
to get into this next one.
- Go ahead get into the next car my God.
- I mean, you know,
Kingston says it's important
I gotta believe him..
- Hey, you guys see Sofia in
her magical louis vuittons
vamped
just like full on Sofia
gets halfway down the car
and then just horizontal flying side kicks
through both doors into the next car.
- (Indistinct)just looks really funny.
- It's a headless horseman.
You got the next one.
Sofia you
see the waking world
bubbling away in this one.
There is a dude who it is
perfect weather outside.
It is not raining
and a dude Uh, and this car
is this this train line is not
crossing any rivers where it is right now.
And some dude has brought
his enormous bicycle on the
subway.
Has it positioned blocking off
a number of seats from where
people could sit down if they wanted to
and it erupts into a
colonial haunted tavern where
the Headless Horseman with a
flaming pumpkin in his
hand gazes down at you.
I believe now Sofia is
out of movement yes?
- Now I'm out of movement yep,
I've used every single thing I can do.
- Amazing now that werewolf
is going to bound towards
Kingston does so.
Let's see here it's going to hit with its
bite attack Kingston
takes six points of damage
and I am going to need a constitution.
- Before you do that could I
channel divinity and use rebuke
the violent and it's within 30 feet.
- Yes you can do that, what does that do?
- Force the attacker
to make a wisdom save.
- Okay, rolls a natural three
Ricky rebuke the violent works.
- Okay, wait, sorry, I may
have actually read this wrong.
On the failure the attacker
takes radiant damage
equal to the damage just dealt.
Okay, so it also hits him.
- Gotcha.
Yeah still hits him but takes
six points of radiant damage.
What does Ricky say as
this thing hits him?
- Please stop reconsider, friend.
- Ricky No, I finally understand it.
We are vampires and these
are our natural enemies.
- That's also underworld.
- Have you ever seen underworld.
- No, I've seen underworld, I have.
- Wait, the underworld they all
kind of end up getting along
and there's bad guys in
the, this is all it's been a
confusing day.
- Yeah.
- Kingston I'm
gonna need a constitution
saving threat from you.
- Great if I
fail do I become a werewolf?
- Yes, you do.
- Oh my God.
- Is it really that simple?
- It's truly that simple.
- Okay, that is 18 plus seven.
- You're you know Kingston
got his lycanthropy
vaccination.
He stays up to date on those.
- I stay up to date but I can
take that six, that six is
fine.
- Incredible that is the werewolf's turn.
Sofia I'mma need a dexterity saving throw.
- Dexterity saving throw okay,
- Dc 15.
- Okay.
Okay.
It's gonna be at 25.
- Instead of taking an
enormous amount of fire damage,
as the Headless Horseman
you barrel roll olympic gymnast twirl
in the air spread out on
the ceiling as this pumpkin
head explodes on the ground
underneath you taking zero
damage.
- Because of my monk evasion.
- Incredible this, the
Headless Horseman charges
attacks and you're still under the effect
of your shield spell.
- Yep so it's still 26.
- Misses twice.
(All cheering)
- You're k*lling it.
- Your like holding on to the bars as
the train is going 90 miles
an hour and just blocking this
like hessian colonial era
saber and the horse moves with
your feet.
- I think I need to try to sue
the ego of this creature that
just missed so much on me.
I say just so you know
I think my personal life
just took a serious nosedive last night.
I may have seen my
husband for the last time so I
may be thriving in my career,
you know, but.
- You see,
the Horseman of the Headless
Horseman appears to hate to the
degree of empathy and grace
you are extending to him.
- So you know.
- Incredible, Ricky,
that's gonna be your turn.
- Oh, can I say can I
turn to Ricky and Iga
and say can you guys hold
your turns for after mine
because I have something
that can definitely help you.
- Yes, I can move pretty far
but and kinda want to help
Kingston out is there.
- I think it goes you Iga me right.
So could you hold
then it would be your turns again.
- You actually could you guys
can organize your turns kind
of however you want.
You could even use movement to like, get
into the next car if you wanted
to and all in all sort of
be together there but yeah,
Ricky Iga and Pete can
all coordinate cause you
all kind of have the same
initiative.
- I think my only thing was
without planning too much is
like, I want to be able to
cast something near Kingston
before I leave the area.
- Yeah totally.
Oh, yeah. I'm gonna send you anywhere.
- Okay cool yeah, I'll wait for you.
- Awesome.
- Yeah.
- Cool. I just dropped
down and I I'm petting
Wait, what's sorry, what's
your dog's name again?
- Ox.
- Ox, right.
I kneel down and I'm like,
who's the good boy and I pet Ox
and I cast haste on Ox.
So his movement is doubled.
- Incredible I'm gonna
let you know that will
break concentration on banishment,
which means those ghosts
will come back if you cast haste.
- And I don't have anything
that can hold a second
concentration right that's fantasy high.
- Yes.
- Okay.
Ah,
I think that's fine we can
just start running from
the I mean, if you have
that much movement,
I doubt they could find us.
- Hell Yeah, go for it.
Um dope how many people
are you casting haste on?
- I think I can only
cast it on one with this.
- Yeah.
- So I'm just gonna cast it on Ox
and then I'm gonna take a I'm
gonna dash up to Kingston.
- Hell yeah.
- And that's my turn thanks
for letting me go first.
- Ricky that's going to be you.
- 0kay with from here.
- Now ox has his speed doubled
to 120 and gets an extra
movement every turn.
- Hell yes I'm going to
use calm emotions on the
werewolf.
So each humanoid in a 20
foot radius must make a
charisma saving throw.
- Sorry, just a heads
up calm emotions is also
concentration.
So you will break shield
of faith on Sofia.
- I think that's worth it right now.
I'm gonna break the concentration on that
and use it to make a target
indifferent about creatures
of your choice that it is
hostile towards.
That would end if people
attacked it or any
of its allies near it, but
we just like to make it
indifferent to our party.
- A natural five on the saving
throw from this werewolf.
What does Ricky say as he
approaches the werewolf?
- My sweet pup listen, you
just chill here we'll get all
this sorted out and then you
know you can go play outside
or something how does that sound?
- Ah, you see, it looks at you.
In your serene chillness and Ox comes up
and licks the werewolf
on the end of its nose.
And you see that there is a
tree root which you recognize is
one of the like side
benches of the subway car
and the werewolf just goes over
and plops itself down
to take a seat having
been understood and reached
out to with empathy and
kindness.
- And then can Ox grab me and
God I keep forgetting because
I keep wanting to call Siobhan's
character Anastasia but I
really.
(Talking over each other.)
- Anastasia please,
can I get Ox to carry as both
as far as we can go forward.
- You could have cast
that spell kind of as Ox
was carrying you carrying us through.
So you're you have your full movement.
So Ox right now has a speed
of 120 and if he uses his
action to dash can go a full
distance of 360 this turn.
- f*ck it let's do it
- Let me measure i'll measure this.
So to he end of the
werewolf car that's 90.
Then, um 120 for the next two cars.
So 90 plus 120 is 210.
- I will get out next to the
Headless Horseman but have Ox
carry, carry Anastasia all
the way to the end of the car?
- Hell yes great, go ahead
and move your pieces so Iga
and Anastasia it's 210.
Actually at the end of the Headless
Horseman's cart Ox still
has 150 movement left.
- 150 i mean,
he shouldn't just go in
there because he'll just
get rocked, right?
- Yes and you guys are with him as well.
- Okay, three more cars to get through.
- Uh, you know what, maybe,
maybe we'll just keep going.
I'll stay with Ox and
go as far as possible.
- Cool you 150 you see a car and we'll
actually move down to the
first car of the third line.
So you move in there
and see a number of passengers with truly
outlandishly enormous
backpacks just leaving them on
both straps turning around fast
to like, talk to each other
and look at Subway maps with
no regard for the swinging of
their enormous backpacks
and you, not putting them at
their feet in between their
feet too leave the most
space for other passengers
and nod bubbles up
and you see the backpacks turn into
monstrous abdomens of giant spiders
in a place filled with spider webs.
You still again have 100 at this point
140 feet of movement left.
- Are the spider webs
and and kind of terrain.
- The spider webs are difficult terrain.
So it cost double movement here.
From where you are 150 is still 75,
you could get into the next
car you would just get attacks
from these spiders.
- sh*t I mean, I haven't been hit yet.
- Do it.
- You know what?
I'll go for it.
We got to get through.
- Hell yeah.
Ricky's ac right now is 20 correct?
- It's 21 actually,
I changed my fighting style
just because I don't have a weapon.
- Makes sense to me, incredible.
21 Oh wow that is two
hits and a crit on Ricky.
- All right.
- I'm gonna need three
constitution savings throws.
- Okay.
Let's see how this goes first one.
- Can I have Misha give
him the help action?
- Sure that'll only give
him advantage on one.
- Okay.
- Yes.
- The first one which was a two so great.
That is, okay I got a nat one,
Can I use my lucky feet?
- Yes, you can.
- Okay.
- I forgot I have lucky
- I got 14, do I add my
plus four to my saves?
- Yes you do.
- Or are they added.
I think they might already be added right?
- I think it's probably
already yes it's already added.
- Damn okay, so that was only a 14.
- 14 passes.
- Okay cool. I need two more.
- Two more.
- Another 14.
- Cool.
- Or 16 actually then.
Okay now that's like a 17 plus six.
- You do take 27 points of damage.
- Okay.
- And you take and then
you take 11 and eight you take
another 19 poison damage from
the spiders as you race through here.
- If I'm immune to disease
does that affect anything?
- Does not affect poison in this instance.
- Okay.
- Hell yes but
you can move another 75 feet
through here so you get into
the next subway car.
In the next car, you see that there is
a sort of well to do Upper
East Side woman who has
monopolized three seats around
her in every direction with
her various shopping bags and
personal items, taking up the
seats around her and you
see she looks up and says,
Oh, I'm so sorry that
I've bothered you sonny.
A witch's cauldron explodes
out of dream realm.
A witch with her cauldrons
and herbs and various bags of newts
and toads taking up all of
this public seating space.
- Like in halloween.
- This is this is where
Ox end his movement.
Iga and Ricky,
Ricky you use an action to
cast a spell but Iga you have
your full turn as you
enter this new chamber.
- Okay,
can I use thunder step to
bring the animals or like just
bring Ricky?
- It depends on if spells
that affect Ricky also I think
thunder step is only one other
person but if the spell also
affects both of them.
- I mean.
- You can make any spell that
targets only you also target
your speed you can move all
three of you with thunder step.
- Fantastic.
Ah then I will.
- Does your little Drake get left behind.
- Yeah Misha comes in my bag.
- Misha comes in the bag exactly, yes yes.
- Misha comes in the bag.
- I grab on to Ricky a little
too tight and I say let me
repay the favor and I cause thunder step
to take us 90 feet down the next car.
- Incredible look at that, you
guys this was a very specific
gimmick to this fight which
was limited time and a long way
to go.
Incredible you rush forward,
you Ox Pete literally
like reaches out touches ox
and just like shortens ox's
relationship to space in like
quantum relationship is like
your dream physics of like,
yeah, you know how in a dream
like you go to like you go to
your dad's house and you walk
out your door and then you're
just like in your dad, just
woo, you're suddenly boom somewhere else.
The final car,
you see the flapping door of
the mta conductor themselves
cackling over the intercom
with the most fiendish anti
populi subway corruption of all.
You see a man well over six feet tall,
sitting in a five seat stretch of seats,
his knees pulled apart,
exposing his crotch out to the
middle of the subway car,
literally blocking off five seats
with the fearsome spread
of his mighty legs.
Man spreading from pole to
pole, and the dream erupts
and you see the wide knees of
Frankenstein's monster as Dr.
Frankenstein cackles from the
front of the car coming
up on the end of the line.
Iga you've used thunder
step I believe that's a
that's a bonus action right?
- No it's an action.
- Action cool any bonus
actions from you or
are you all good?
- I have no bonus actions to do I am good.
- Incredible that goes from Iga.
I didn't roll concentration
I just realized for the.
- Go ahead and give me
three concentration checks.
- Okay.
Um, what do I have to beat? Sorry.
- I'm gonna say for these
you're just trying to beat a 10.
- Okay I beat out on
the first one got a 15,
18 on the die on the second one.
- Cool.
- Another 13.
- Amazing.
Um, those spiders are going
to take double moves to
move 60 into the witch's car.
The witch is going to cackle speed of 40.
That's so scary,
she's going to move eighty.
Well she definitely can.
She's going to come straight for Iga.
Iga what is your armor class?
- 13.
- Okay, that's going
to be hits all around.
- What kind of damage? If it's
bludgeoning I'm resistant?
- This is piercing and
slashing, unfortunately.
- What's hitting her?
Is it just the witch?
- The witch is gonna run up
and shred her to pieces with her claws.
- Oh no.
- What?
- Witches have claws
people this is normal.
- Witches have claws.
- Look at you look at me,
you think we're different?
Do you think you're better than me?
- 13, 15, 21, 21
Iga takes 55 points of damage as the witch
runs up and sinks her
claws into your back.
- Is Iga down?
- No, I'm at 32.
- Iga is tough.
- This is a new turn right?
- New turn, yeah.
- Yeah, are you Well, God,
witches are probably going to
have wisdom right?
I'm going to use channel divinity again
to rebuke the violet which
means that they have to
pass a dc 16 saving throw
or they take all that damage or half.
- Oh my God, I'm gonna roll
this I think this is going to be
our digital version of box of
doom because first attack was
a crit and it dealt 36 points
of damage in that first
attack.
Ricky's dc for this is I believe 15 right?
- It's 16 now.
- 16 and it's wisdom for her.
She only gets a plus two.
So you said six she needs a roll of 14 or
higher here comes here comes the box of
doom.
- Is it on the roll 20?
- On the roll 20, 14 or higher.
Let's see if she gets it.
(All cheering)
- That was honestly great,
- Ricky, you turn around this
which sinks her talons into
Iga's back what does Ricky say to her?
- Excuse me we don't know
you and it's inappropriate.
- As Ricky says it's inappropriate
I'm going to choose on a
natural one to have this deal
double damage, which is going
to be 72 points of damage.
She looks and says, looks to you
as you say it's inappropriate and says
I'm so sorry
I didn't I didn't mean to
cause offense I just simply
thought I'll see myself out.
- You probably should yeah.
- Rain of light, the witch is
destroyed in this single act of
rebuking the violent, she is gone.
- Incredible.
- You just shouldn't touch
people you don't know.
- That's what I said,
except I broke a man's wrist
to say that I agree.
- Truly that simple amazing.
Back at the top Pete that's you baby.
- They held for me right?
- Yes, that's right.
So Kingston, that's going to be you now.
- I look over at Pete, hey
Pete you got any more magic
that's gonna get us up to
the front anytime soon.
- I don't, I went through all of my stuff.
- Alright Uh, well, I guess we're stuck.
- We'll just freak out
and just k*ll ghosts.
- I mean, I don't think
you should be messing
around with ghosts anymore
Cody but yeah, it feels like.
- Kingston you do see
that Cody is the caboose
and is stuck in
the room where the two
ghosts just came back.
- This is this is my fight Kingston.
- Cody I think we got to run right.
- Yeah, we should be moving
forward Cody all right.
- Cody do you have anything
that's gonna get us really far?
- Yes.
- Oh sh*t.
- I'm gonna really slash these ghosts.
(Indistinct)
- Why do I listen?
- I'm gonna go all out.
- What are you at?
- What am I,
Cody's fine Cody's at like 71.
- Okay, in that case,
Kingston is just gonna
be like well, I mean,
let's see if we can just
make sure we don't get into
too much trouble.
I'm gonna step up to like here and I'm
gonna cast lightning bolt at
a fifth level into the next
car.
Hitting the vampire and
the two break up people
and start stopping just short of Sofia.
- Oh my god what is the
range on lightning bolts?
- 100 feet.
- Oh my god um a incredible.
- That's gonna be so
cool to see the very end of a
lightning bolt right in front
of my face.
- Kingston go ahead and roll
damage for a fifth level
lightning bolts.
- Okay, that's 10 d six.
Yeah, I take my pirate
like handkerchief off
that I've been wearing and
like, flip up my eye patch.
Okay, here we go.
This is five okay.
(Upbeat music)
Only 35.
- You hit every single one of
them for 35 points of damage.
Kingston, you just sort of
stride now at this point because
you're taking an action every
turn you're not even running.
You're just like, sort of, you
know, like walking safely up.
You hold your hand out the
city heeds your command and you
hear from the utilities of
the city itself you got it
Kingston and watch the third
rail of the subway outside just
spill Lightning through the
cracks of the doors into your
hand until you are once again
holding a lightning bolt like
Zeus.
It is a you're holding like a 40 foot long
lightning bolt in your hand
and as you hurl it forward,
each of those vampires takes
35 full points of damage,
shrieks and drops to their
knees, and fully begin to turn
into ash in front of you.
Completely unmade by that lightning bolt.
- As the smoke dissipates
from their bodies
it reveals Sofia at the
very end with a thumbs up.
- It's good right it's not bad.
- Really good stuff Kingston.
Your aim is incredible.
- I don't think we're gonna
make it Cody's gonna omnislash
the ghost, I don't know what that is.
- I like Cody he's growing on me I think.
- Honestly,
he's getting better
with age if you ask me.
- Yeah right.
- Incredible speaking of which,
Cody it is your turn after
Kingston fries these vampires.
- Cody gives a knowing nod to
Kingston like this is all part
of the plan and then he
drags his giant sword
gears of w*r style so that
sparks come up as he runs
across and he runs backwards
to the ghosts.
- Oh Cody.
- I'm just worried now that he's 47
all of the cultural references are
gonna be so different than
people who are not his peers.
- Truly they are all out of game
they are all references that
I remember from high school
and they are.
- It's so sad that he's
a 47 year old man running
like an anime character.
47 year old white man.
- Okay, so he'll take his
so there's one ghost that
has been suggested right? Or is that.
- Yeah correct.
- Okay, so
I'm gonna go after the one
that has not gotten to do
anything.
- The suggested one actually
left fully left the subway
car so.
- okay, so there is just one.
- So yeah, this ghost right here
the lower most ghost is gone.
And then this other one in
front of you is back from
banishment.
- Great I will just go after this one.
First things first,
thunderous smite as a bonus
action to charge up my sword.
Omnislash and i go all out.
That's the 17.
- Hits 17 hits.
- This is like a kid playing in his room.
- Okay, so I've got
thunderous smite and then I'm
also going to divine smite at
a third level.
So that's going to be five d
eight, cause third level would
be four and it's a undead.
- Hell yes because these are
segmented now I'm gonna let you
resolve the amount of damage
you do to that ghost and also
move on to Sofia's turn so
you roll that damage Sofia.
So here's what I want to do I
need to I want to avoid going
in this room with difficult terrain.
- Cool.
- So what I want to
do is I want to do a pull
up and then do step of
the wind as a dash action
and run on the top of these.
- Yes, yes yes yes yes.
- Yes yes.
- For 180 should get me to the end.
- Oh my f*cking God.
- So sick
- 1.000.000% Sofia, go ahead
and move yourself as far as you.
Yeah the Headless Horseman
is gonna take a swing at you
does not hit as one of the hooves lash out
and you put us up into the roof
and 90 mile an hour car
you running atop a moving
subway.
Sprint 180 feet.
- Yeah, so with 180 feet I
should plot myself right down in
the mix here.
- And I did 48, 48 damage.
- 48 you annihilate this ghost dude.
- But no one's there to see.
- We watch we watch,
come on Pete we watch.
- Does anyone see that?
- I want to see what an omnislash is.
- You guys Kingston, Pete f*ck.
- God I hope that Kingston
isn't dead, that old guy.
- I use my second attack
the punch of window.
- I will say there is still a
there's one ghost left in the
in the car that came back
from Pete's other banishment.
So you have two two attacks
so you nailed so there's
one other ghosts left you
could take your other attack if
you want.
- Yeah, definitely.
Um, I can't keep track of how far I went.
Can I get back to that guy?
- Yes, because remember, the cells are
only three points five you're
only 15 feet away from that
ghost yeah.
- So I'm just going to run back
and freak out again.
I'm going to go, I'm using
literally using all my spell slots.
- Incredible.
- I'm going to oh wait no, I
already used a bonus action
so I just have to do a regular attack.
- Cool.
- Do I want a great weapon fighting?
No, that's.
- Because regular damage
doesn't hurt ghosts right?
- I think it does like half
or something i don't know.
- Oh okay yeah.
- Boy Should I great weapon
fighting yeah, maybe not.
Okay, just regular attack, good
thing I didn't.
Only 14.
- 14 hits.
- Nice okay then I will do
another third level smite
use my last spell slots.
- Hell yes.
As your rolling that Sofia rushes forward.
The werewolf is now sitting
politely because it was
chastised by Ricky, Sofia
before you leap down.
You see ahead of you.
For everyone that's in that
subway car you hear the mad
scientist at the front
whisper to Frankenstein's
monster and say I've got
these ones the roof monster in
the middle of that table, Sofia
you see an eruption on the
roof blasting through the
metal Frankenstein's monster
punches through the roof to
meet you on the roof of the
moving subway and is going to charge you.
- I get low.
- Hell yes.
- Oh, this battle was as
cool as I wanted it to be.
- 38 damage by the way 38 damage.
- You obliterate, I'm sorry
no 38 this was this one was
uninjured.
There's still a ghost in front
of Cody all the way back in
the second car.
It's so close to death
it's so close to death.
- Oh Cody.
- Yes, and actually right
after Cody's turn this ghost is
going to go I hate to do it to
you Cody I'm going to need a
wisdom saving throw.
- f*ck off you, are you gonna
make Cody a 60 year old man.
- Wait isn't there still silence
there though there's still
silence so if it's about, does that I
haven't taken any more damage
to do a concentration roll
and I think it just
stays in that location.
- Stand on point due to the range.
Yes, that is true.
There's still silence there,
Cody would you What would you
have rolled Cody.
- Oh I would have passed I think.
Yeah 21, 21.
- Okay the ghost tries
to scream and cannot.
It is surrounded by silence.
Werewolf , we go all the way
down to Frankenstein's monster.
It's gonna make to slam attacks
on Sofia who's back at 21
right?
Sofia that lumbering
Frankenstein's monster with bolts
in the neck greenskin this
giant long leg still still bow
legged and man spreading even
up here on the roof takes
two wild swings that you
effortlessly dodge and block.
- I'm actually not I'm not at
21 I'm at 19 because Ricky did
something else so shield of faith is gone.
- Copy that okay even with
that role, the natural five
and two missing Sofia by a mile.
You are exchanging
punches with Frankenstein's
monster on the on the roof of a
barreling a train headed uptown.
Kingston.
- Whaat?
- Haa!.
With all the vampires gone
you get charged by the
Headless Horseman who
summons another pumpkinhead.
I'm gonna need dexterity
saving throws from Pete and Kingston.
- Ooh.
- Okay happy to do it.
- Hey 21.
- That's a mod 20.
- Each of you only takes half
damage from this hold on one
second.
- To be clear if the werewolf
sees people fighting in front
of it, it will come out of indifference.
- Gotcha Copy that.
Oh, this guy rolled so
bad, four, six, five is 11
6, 7 you take 17 halved to
eight points of fire damage
from this exploding pumpkin head
and then Kingston is going
to take two hoof attacks.
One of which hits Kingston
for another five points of
damage.
Come on Headless Horseman.
The Headless horseman you
see it charging across
over the the ashy corpses that
are splitting in the wind of
the vampires you thunder with
your lightning bolt, rides you
down.
How's Kingston looking
after this fearsome charge
from the Headless Horseman?
- 61 Kingston.
- Yeah.
- Kingston's got, there's
like a there's a new kid on
the block and this has got to
prove himself, you know, he's
not out here he wants Cody
to think he's cool, you know.
I'm the vox populi damn it.
- We are, we are contemporaries
we're pretty much the same age.
- Now.
- Amazing that is going to
be Ricky that is your turn.
- Okay, so we are in that car.
- Yes, you're in the front
car and the witch has been
destroyed you can hear spiders
chasing you from back behind
you but all that's left in
this car is the mad scientist
at the front of the car.
- Okay, it may not work out but
I'm going to send Ox back as
far as he can to try to
grab somebody and bring them
closer.
- Ox can go do whatever
you want to do but those
spiders are filling up that
car and so Ox will get some
attacks of opportunity.
- Yeah,
he's pretty weak I guess, can
I bring Anastasia and myself
closer to the mad scientist.
- Yeah absolutely.
- With Ox.
- I actually am fine where I am.
- Okay cool.
Then I will use Ox's movement
to get to the mad scientist.
- Hell yeah cool.
You charge the mad
scientist, what doess Ricky
do with his action as he as
he also with the haste Ox can
make attacks here as well?
- Oh, right.
Okay I will say I guess Ricky
just wants to just first just
chat with the mad scientist for a second.
Hey, man, what's going
on? What is this about?
- No room no room the end
of the line is coming.
There's nothing left, tides
coming in deep deep down
and it's time for everything that was.
And you see his eyes
flicker and say to go away.
Death to you all.
And it looks like he's about to do some
messed up magic stuff.
- Okay, I'm you know,
it's not Ricky's favorite.
Ricky is just gonna take a
regular you know what actually,
um, Ricky is going to let Ox attack
because he has pack tactics.
- That's correct so he has advantage.
- And so and he has two attacks right now.
Because he has haste.
- Oh, he does that's right.
Yes yes yes.
- Okay, so um 19 though
19 Plus, let me see.
- Ah, dude 19 hits also
I'll point something out.
This mad scientist has bottles
and beakers all over this
room.
You think that if you
can prevent this dude
from in other words using
sommatic components.
I'll be clear this is a spell
caster enemy if you can
grapple and pin this dude
because ox just got that 19
you may be able to prevent this
different casting spells on his next turn.
- Gotcha, if I can grapple him, okay.
- Basically yeah.
- Um so on it okay,
that's only on a charge that it can do it
dc 14 saving throw or
you'd be knock prone.
- I'll let you do, Ox just
charged because he charged with
you.
- Oh yeah he did okay let's do that.
- This is important.
This guy has nothing to strength
needs through a 14 or higher.
This is huge you you have
reached the the the the conductor
of the train the Dr. Frankenstein.
- Ox can you push him
down on the ground please?
- 10 Ox successfully pushes the
mad scientist to the ground.
Knocks him to the ground.
You will, let me see if Ox
has anything left any other
attacks.
So Ox has used his charge and then
the hits with his tag.
So here is his attack he can either
do damage or try to make an
athletics to grapple himself if
you want to roll athletics.
- Picturing just dalmatian
arms, putting someone in a
headlock.
- Yeah, if you want to roll
athletics for Ox to try.
- Hell yeah.
- You would have to finish the pin
because Ox doesn't have
enough attacks to do it in one
round but he can start
it for you basically.
- Okay yeah, sure.
I'll do that.
So it's like he has plus four
to strength so that's the.
- Yeah that's what you're adding.
- nat one.
- Oh brutal.
Okay, let's see this dude rolls a nat one.
16 he makes it.
Now Ricky has advantage on
anything you wanna do this round.
- Gotcha.
Okay I'm going to, can I make
a check to see if I can see
what's going on with the control
panels to slow things down.
- Give me a raw intelligence
check, I'm going to say that
this is a dc 20 intelligence check.
- Interesting, interesting.
nat 20, nat 20.
(All cheering)
- No f*cking way.
- You've got to be f*cking kidding me.
- You got to turn off
your background thing.
(talking over each other)
- I literally want to turn
off your f*cking like virtual
background.
Oh my f*cking God,
oh my f*cking God.
Ricky
you look at the conductors panel.
By the way what could Ricky
have made that roll on?
- A nat 20.
(laughing)
- I have 10 intelligence.
- Ricky you look at the most
complicated series of dials,
knobs, beakers lightning
of everything like that.
This is the kind of thing that
would normally give Ricky a
full.
Not like, Ricky would not panic
over this but you would just
be completely over your head
not knowing what it was.
But here's the deal man,
there's nothing your care
more about than safety.
And you took an elective course
as a young fire fighter just
in case you were ever
on a run away subway.
As Ox pins this mad
scientist to the ground.
Ricky you know the sequence
code and there's a ki in the
ignition to open a secret panel
which pulls the lever that
instantly master overrides
every emergency brake in every
single car on the train.
- Okay I'm gonna step
over the mad scientist
and just be like sorry
buddy but time to slow down.
(all laughing)
And do that.
- Absolutely astounding.
As the train slows Cody facing
that last ghost you watch the
ghost fade back into just a regular person
and suddenly everyone kinda
looks up and notices you just
holding a sword on the subway.
- Kingston and Pete you
are looking at a dude,
he's kinda sweating and breathing.
Who is looking at you like,
he's like holding a bike
and he's like in a
different car than he was
looking kinda confused and upset.
Sofia as your trading blows
with Frankenstein's monster
suddenly you're on the roof
of a slowing subway with a
regular guy who screams and
falls to the ground fully
crying.
Looking around.
- It's okay I'll hold
your hand through this.
- Iga you look see the
cars spread out behind you
the woman right behind you
that was moments ago a witch
and Ricky in the front
compartment saves the train.
Everyone now back in the waking
world all of that strange
dream stuff fades away as the
train pulls into the second to
last station.
You have saved the day, defeated
the run away halloween car
and a group of passengers looking around.
Ricky you see that the little
pa comes on as the sort of
normal looking conductor
looks up from the ground as Ox
licks his face.
The pa system is open in front
of you and you see that a
bunch of confused people start
like yelling and shouting
around here.
- I take the intercom
and talk to the train.
Be calm everyone turns
out someone threw up
and that's what happened.
- It was me, I threw up, it was me.
- She threw up and that's
the explanation I got.
Hope everyone has a safe halloween,
don't eat any candy that
has little openings on it.
Stay safe out there.
- The entire train looks
around and someone in a little
Dracula came in, someone else
is dressed like a bumblebee
and someone who's some political reference
and someone else who's some
other thing (clapping).
Train erupts into applause.
The doors open, all of you from
various places of the train
walk up on to the platform
and all observe each other
as something magical seeps
back into the ground.
- Can we do like an insight check to try
to catch some info about that?
- Yeah give me an arcana
or an insight check.
- Yeah 28.
- 28 Pete.
- I got much less than that.
- You see umbral arcana which
you have only ever known as
something manufacture by
the Grammarcy Occult society.
But you see it in your
sort of dream vision
in a like a raw unprocessed form
and it looks like it is ebbing away,
and when I say ebbing
away I'm choosing my words careful here.
You guys successfully defeated this rotten
like anti New York sentiment
halloween cursed subway.
And as you congregate, Pete your
looking down like in between
the train and the track underneath it.
And when I say it's ebbing
away it's almost like you're
seeing a tide going out.
As though it's going out now
but tides don't just go out
forever.
- Yeah, we beat back the tide
but the ocean is still there.
- Fighting an ocean, how?
- So Pete you're looking
at that, it does look.
There's something here within
this that seemed like an
element of Nod escaping but
every time you've seen Nod enter
the waking world it was a violent
act or an act of desire to
be in the waking world.
Like the whole thing Nod
talked about before that,
dreams wanna be real.
This is the first time you've
seen dreams enter the waking
world and the vibe you get is wrong man.
It doesn't feel like this
dream came here because they
wanted to be here.
It feels like they were being
pushed here like tide in an
effort to get away from
something else on the other side.
- Wooo.
- You're back in the waking
world as Nod dissipates
and Pete you're gazing.
Um Sofia, go ahead and
give me a perception check
with advantage if you'd be so kind.
- Okay.
That's only going to
be a 15, or 15 though.
- You look down at Pete,
Pete's giving you a hand by
pointing it out.
You can see this sh*t.
The umbral arcana is
definitionally like obfuscating.
It's a f*cking force that
makes you not see stuff.
You and Pete watch as this kind of haze,
it's a haze that moves away.
It chills things it dampens things.
It almost like, its sort of
grimy subway station floor but
you almost can swear like it
saps the color from the floor
in a way, moves out.
You are able to both perceive
it and Sofia you're hackles
raised.
Cause Pete you're seeing your
responsibility which is the
dream realm behaving
in a really unusual way
and Sofia you're seeing some
sh*t that confirms a lot of what
you've been studying in the
history of the orders battle
against forces from the dreaming.
- Hey, hey Pete, I know we
haven't really formally worked
together very much but I think
I have more information about
the dream world that I you
know I would love to maybe
go over with you sometime.
- Cool, yeah we could go get
a coffee or like a panini
or something.
- I'd love a panini.
- Yeah totally.
- Yeah.
- Yeah it'd be cool to talk
and then I look down
at like my 60 day chip.
(All laughing)
- Just seems like it
would be cool to talk.
- Yeah right.
- Hell yes, you guys have
that connection there.
Ricky you're sort of going I
feel like asking passengers
what happened and immediately
assuming you're an authority
figure here and coming to ask you.
- Presenting like, sometimes
the subway will toss you around
and if you've just recently
ate something that's not
agreeing with you and your
not feel well it can make you
throw up.
- The dude who was in his dream self,
the Frankestein's monster
gets down off the roof of the
subway car looking like
what the f*ck happened like.
- It was you, you threw up.
- Oh sh*t, I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry.
- It happens it happens.
- Cody you're 47.
(All laughing)
- Can I try to remove curse?
- Yeah also I have dispel
magic, is the something we can
do.
- Ah ah I must say Ricky and
Kingston give me medicine
checks.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- This is so funny.
- I got 27.
- Hell yeah, so just to be
clear I might walk in the
darkness but I do have a zest for life
and I would like to not have
20 years off my life out.
I wanna hang out in the mall
again I wanna do kid sh*t.
I'm here to do rad sh*t,
I'm not here to you know.
I don't wanna go to the
other side, so fix me please.
- You see Bazathrax goes,
it feels bad in here it feels
really not as good.
It didn't feel great at
start i'll be honest,
just trade up man, trade me on.
- I got a 21 on my medicine check.
- Incredible, both of you.
Kingston and Ricky you
guys look at each other,
I'm gonna say this both of
you guys know what would be
needed to handle this which is
a greater restoration spell.
Is very powerful kind of restoration.
Kingston on a 27 you know that
not even greater restoration
will cut it unless it's the next 24 hours.
- Oh Cody we need to hustle all right.
We need to hustle.
- Cool yeah.
- But we can get this done it's just gone
require a little bit of hustle.
A little bit, not too much
don't worry we can get it done.
- I can see the devil
will give you my soul,
do you need my soul?
- Honestly we're done
talking to the devil.
You especially.
- I also have a way that
maybe we can remove the curse
but it is a big risk and we'll
keep it as a second option.
- Great.
- Interesting.
- Kingston on that insight,
as you're kinda looking over
Cody and both checking him out
again Cody is in a bad way.
You look the woman who is the witch,
and a couple other people watch that.
The woman who's the witch
again a very like wealthy
sort of upper east side lady
she walks with a bunch of
shopping bag like she's going
to visit a family friend or
something like that but on a
20 insight you see something is
sort of wrong with her.
The only way I can put it is
you see some sort of like deep
down emptiness in her eyes.
She's here she's like about
to go walk and do her things
she doesn't look too unnerved
but you just see some sort of
emptiness in her eyes.
And one a 28 insight what does
Kingston do at this moment.
- Can I approach her?
- Yeah you can approach her.
- Hey excuse me miss,
you on the train right?
- Um yes I was sorry,
yeah I was on the train.
- We're part of a taskforce
that's trying to help
are you feeling okay today?
- I'm feeling um feeling all right.
I am,
she looks down the bag she's carrying
and she has like a bunch of stuff here
that she's been shopping for.
She looks up and says, I'm all right yeah.
- Just all right.
- She looks up and says
the store where my husband
bought our 30th anniversary
wedding anniversary gift closed down
and I don't, to be honest
with you sir I don't
I'm having a reaction to it
that's very, I feel very sad
and it feels I feel very childish for it.
It was just a store, I
hadn't been there in.
- I am actually 47 years old
and I have attachments to some
stores because people
attach memories to places so
it's actually f*cking fine what you doing.
It's f*cking normal.
- This is Cody he's also
part of the taskforce.
- Hey Cody Cody ,actually Cody.
- Oh Cody hey.
- I mind using a cool sword
60 feet away from this
conversation.
(All laughing).
- I need to go but I just
want you to know that I see
and that f*cking bullshit
and I walk towards the sword.
- And I walk towards the sword.
- And I walk towards the sword.
You see Kingston she looks
over and smiles and says,
what a disturbed young man.
- He's all right, he's
been through a lot today.
- She tends to look and
says is just I don't
favorite music venue shut down as well
and my youngest son just got
a job that's gotta him out of
the city and he was my last
child that still lived here.
Kingston you get a very powerful impulse
of something deep at work.
It's not in this woman, this
woman is not like the kistone
of it but you just sense
something out there in a very
chilling way.
She looks at you and says I
don't know you're an older man.
The city changes all the time,
it has no respect for its
history it's just, I don't
know it's just getting to me
today.
You sit there asking yourself you know,
what if anything stays.
- You know it's funny that I
don't know where I heard but
that feeling feels familiar,
I think thank you for talking
to me I hope that you find
solace in the change that is
coming and stay safe.
- You see her walk away and
the emptiness in her eyes
reflects back to you the
emptiness of that store front you
saw this morning.
Cause the last thing she does
she says, in any case all
this was brought on because we
had a very aggressive realtor
who was trying to buy our apartment.
We've lived in the Upper East
side for a long long time
and this extremely invasive realtors
were sort of harassing
us and asking us to sell
but now that my youngest son
is not here maybe I should.
I have friends that live
out in the Hamptons ,
I have friends that
live out in Long island
and Massachusets and I don't know.
- You can't let those blood
suckers take your house.
- This is Anastasia, she's
also a part of the taskforce.
- Hey I think actually you've
to me for a reading before
I think I recognize your face.
- Madam Anastasia, she lights
up she says madam Anastasia
you're part of a taskforce.
And you see for a moment
she buries that emptiness
but then again on a 28
Kingston it's not gone.
The last I'll say as this
woman starts to talk to you
Anastasia amazed to find you here is.
You look at the box in your
purse and you see the last
little bit of some that haze
that ephemeral smoke sludge seep
into the crack of your box
and disappear inside it.
And that's all for this
episode of the unsleeping city.
Tune in next week.
