(jam out to The Unsleeping
City theme one last time...)
(...for now?)
- Hello, one and all!
And welcome back to the thrilling finale
of season two of "The Unsleeping City."
I am your humble dungeon
master, Brennan Lee Mulligan.
With me as always are our intrepid heroes.
Say hi, intrepid heroes!
- Hi, intrepid heroes!
- Hello, intrepid heroes.
- Last we left off,
our heroes had been having quite a day,
having defeated Tony Simos
and the treacherous program
from Gladiator Industries,
seeking to harness raw
umbra to collapse time
and destroy magic forever.
Our heroes found out that indeed the hoard
of the former Dragon of Bleecker Street,
soon to be the the new
dragon of New York City
stowed here in Central Park North,
AKA young junior of Kingston
Brown and Liz Herrera is
on the way to be born here
if our heroes can defend the child
from the onslaught of delivery drones,
strange possessed corporate entities,
and Null itself who has shown
up in the cascade of raw umbra
to end the memory of New York City
before it can even be born
by destroying its memory,
destroy its future
and destroy any hope that
could be in this place.
We return to combat as Null appears
in the center of the burlesque
staring down the hall at Sofia surrounded
in the wading darkness.
And we are going to jump
right back into combat
to defend the child and
save the Unsleeping City.
Next to act after Null is going to be...
Esther Sinclair.
Esther is going to run out into the vault,
and she's going to ready an action, baby.
Or actually, she's gonna, you know what?
She's gonna have to do a full dash.
So, she's going to full dash.
(to the tune of "Radioactive")
♪ Ready an action, ready an-♪
(everyone laughs)
- Oh my gosh.
That was, like, Cody-level.
- You spent too much time around Cody.
(everyone laughs)
- On the back of his moped.
- ♪ Wake me up inside! ♪
- You have to imagine the dragons.
- Cody.
Cody and Ricky, that's gonna be you guys.
- Oh, actually before Ricky's
turn, I have a question.
Could Dale's wife guy aura,
since I'm not using it,
could it be like a new dad aura
in which case Ricky could benefit from it?
- You know, we really established
it as a wife guy aura.
- But wouldn't a wife guy look out
for another person who is
committed to their partner?
- Wow, great point.
(everyone laughs)
- This is airtight.
This is absolutely airtight.
- If Ricky proposes right
now, can he get wife guy aura?
- You guys-
- I'm just kidding.
- I'm gonna say that the
wife guy aura does extend
to other wife guys.
(Emily laughs)
You think the Tammany tiger
at the top of the hall may
have the political authority
to marry people.
So, if you want to get
that done real quick
right here in the hall, yeah, absolutely.
(everyone laughs)
- I tried for you, Ricky.
I tried.
- Thank you.
- Incredible.
Cody and Ricky, that's your turn.
- I also have the power
to marry people I think.
(Emily laughs)
- So again, if we want to extend this aura
as much as we can,
we've gotta get sort
of cracking right now.
(Emily laughs)
- Do we want to ride?
We don't want to, like,
we don't want to like,
just like ride into the
darkness on the moped, do we?
- It sounds so tempting.
Through the darkness?
- I mean, I'm here like a traffic cop.
I can kind of like, if you're like,
as if you were backing into-
- Make sure we don't crash?
- I can try and shout you through it.
- We could just hold until
people come through again.
- Yeah, I think-
- Although the spirits might-
- Come back.
- Yeah, they might do
what they were doing before.
- It's only 30 feet.
I'm sure you could drive through
the darkness if you wanted.
- Let's just drive through the darkness.
Give it a test run on some bots.
And then maybe come back if it's-
- Yeah, oh, that's true.
We can take an opportunity
to attack and come back
if it seems really bad.
Yeah, let's ride into
the darkness on a moped.
Is that a good idea?
I think...
- Ricky's, like, kinda
shaking with how much he knows
that, like, it's a bad idea.
Like, just in terms of safety,
but, like, it is a good idea.
- Okay, great.
Sweet.
So, we will, let me see.
Movement wise we can get very easily,
I guess pop out, like, here
and hit that first dude?
- Yeah.
I mean, that's the one that's
stunned if that matters.
- Oh, that rules.
Yeah, let's do that.
Okay, so we're gonna pop out.
Boom.
Right here.
Brennan, I'm assuming we can
move through the darkness.
It's just we can't
attack anything in there
'cause it's dark.
- Yes, you can move through the darkness.
You just can't be in
there attacking people
because you can't see.
- Sweet.
Ride through the darkness
singing Evanescence.
And then let's attack.
I'm gonna use bonus action
to move my hex to this drone.
- Cool.
- And then...
(Murph sighs)
- And Ricky, are you following
in there on the moped or no?
- I was thinking I was.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't move my token.
- Cody, just pointing it out
since you're a mounted combatant
and you get an advantage
on attacks anyways,
you could go past this stunned one
without taking any opportunity attacks.
- That's true.
What size are these robots?
- Medium size.
They're like little-
- Oh, okay, so I would get advantage.
These guys might take a lot of damage.
Why don't we let,
Ricky, why don't you go first
and we'll see what these guys can take.
(Emily laughs)
- All right.
- Oh no, I'm not trying to-
- No, no.
- Just if we have advantage,
I don't want to waste-
- Man, how about you go first?
Like, you know.
(everyone laughs)
We can see if they're poison,
like, if you go first.
(everyone laughs)
- Okay, 26 on my first hit.
- Woo!
- To hit.
And then that would just be a two d8,
wait two d8 plus six
because of the haste, right?
- No, I don't think
haste adds extra damage.
It gives you an extra attack.
- I mean, per the bat though, don't I?
- Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
So, it's two d8 plus one
d6 from haste plus seven.
- Doesn't Ricky also have bless on him?
- [Zac] Yes.
- And also motivational speech.
- What does motivational
speech give you again?
- 10 HP and wisdom saving throws and sh*t.
- I think the question is,
since he has three spells on Ricky,
does that mean he gets to add three d6?
- Oh, sh*t.
How many arcane spells do
you have on you right now?
- I think it's just haste.
'Cause I don't know-
- No, it's also motivational speech.
That's arcane.
- Yeah, Rowan's spell.
- But who's bless from?
Kingston?
- [Siobhan] Cody.
- Kingston, so it's just two d6.
'Cause it's from Rowan and Esther.
It's just arcane spells.
- Oh, okay.
- Okay, so two d8 plus
two d6 on this first guy.
Plus seven.
- Yep.
- So that would be nine,
16, 23 damage on that first hit.
- Ooh, 23 damage on the first.
This is one that Sofia has already
kind of f*cked up a little bit, right?
- Sofia, would it help
if I knocked him down one
or do you want him-
- You don't gotta knock them down at all.
This bat comes out of the darkness
and crushes that delivery drone.
- Oh, sweet.
- Oh, I didn't even roll with advantage.
- Yeah, you should've
rolled with advantage.
Roll just to see if you,
eh, it doesn't matter.
- Let's keep plowing
through dudes I guess?
- You want to go for
that void dude or the-
- Yeah, let's go.
Let's go for the f*ck' void dude.
- We're just smashing mailboxes.
(Brennan laughs)
- Wow, you really have come around.
- It's a very high school day for me,
getting my a*s kicked by random dudes
and then smashing mailboxes.
- I rolled a 23 to hit.
- 23 hits.
- And then I'll just roll my
second attack on it as well.
- Hell yeah, go for it.
- With advantage.
And then a 20.
- 20 also hits.
So you hit that spirit twice.
Zac, you calculate damage.
Cody, what are you doing?
- I will go for the same dude
unless Ricky's able to finish him off
which I don't think he'll
be able to do right away.
Can we say I move my hex to
him since he's like my target?
- Sure, go for it.
- Spirit's my target.
Sweet, so I'll do hex on them.
I think I will,
should I great weapon fighting?
I will.
Cool.
- Yeah.
- I think I did 42 damage.
I did 42 damage to that first guy.
- Oh my God.
42 damage to the first dude?
- To the void-ish-
- To the void dude?
Not down, but you
thunder down on that one.
Deal 42 points of damage.
- I got 22 to hit, and I
had great weapon fighting.
Great weapon master.
- 22 hits, you connect.
- Sweet.
- You guys should f*ck up these void guys
'cause I can't see them.
- Okay.
Oh my God, I just rolled two d6s.
I'm rolling my d6s
'cause I'm realizing I'm
not getting to reroll
'cause I have great
weapon fighting as well.
So two d6s and then a d8
and then another d6, right?
- Yup.
- Okay, rolled a one on my d8.
So, that's 37 with great weapon fighting.
- Holy sh*t.
You deal 37 damage?
What types are those damages by the way?
Is that all slashing?
- No, the 12 plus the
20, so 32 is slashing
and then one is radiant and four are,
what does hex do, fire?
- Cool.
Even with that, you guys sail
out of the dark on a moped,
and Cody and Ricky slam
into this corporate wraith.
Cody, you're having the best
time of your f*ck' life.
- "It f*ck' rules!"
Sweet, I have one more attack.
I'll go for the next dude.
- Cool.
- Amazing.
- The delivery-
- [Brennan] The delivery drone.
- That's a lot.
That's a 29 to hit.
- 29 hits.
(Murph sighs)
- Okay.
This one does not have hex.
sh*t, should I smite?
I don't have a lot of spell slots left.
I will save them and just do a little hit.
- Cool.
- [Murph] Just a little one.
- Should we run back?
- Yeah, and then we can ride back I think.
- Riding in and out of darkness
like going through tunnels.
- Walking backwards on the moped.
- Turning a moped backwards.
It's so hard to turn them around.
- 21 damage.
- You deal 21 damage?
- On a little hit?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, you f*ck that
thing right up, dude.
Blam.
- Okay, should I just
hit it with my moped?
(Murph laughs)
- Can you do that and double move with it?
- I think not double move,
but we haven't used that much movement.
Let me see how much we've used.
- [Brennan] You've used,
like, 65 feet of movement.
- Okay, nevermind.
Okay, we will back up.
Should we just hide in the darkness?
- Sounds awesome.
- Poking out of the darkness
a little bit every now
and again.
- We hide in the darkness.
- Cody, you get slapped
for 10 points of damage
by that delivery drone
with an attack of opportunity
as you guys bounce.
- Oh, I will hellish rebuke it.
(Brennan laughs)
Oh wait, no I won't.
No, I won't.
I have so few spells.
Stupid, stupid.
I was excited.
- I don't know, it might end it.
- I know, but if it
doesn't it's not worth it.
- Okay.
- I can do a lot with smites.
- I think spell slots might
be better on other things.
- Spell slots are very important.
- Like the other creatures.
I don't know.
- Ricky, do you want to move yourself
into the darkness here?
- Yes.
- Move yourself into the darkness.
- [Murph] This one is still stunned.
- My mind is like, but I'm on the moped.
It should have just
picked me up, but that's-
- Okay.
These guys are gonna start
charging into the darkness.
This is so interesting.
I wonder...
Okay.
This is so wild.
- It means that they'll all get
disadvantage on all attacks.
- Yeah, absolutely.
So we're gonna go,
boom.
Boom.
Boom.
- Wait, if that guy just ran by me,
I would get an opportunity
attack, wouldn't I?
- Yeah.
- Yes, you do.
- Okay.
- With advantage.
- Oh yeah, you're right.
- And do you have bless?
- Yeah.
Nine plus two plus...
22.
- 22 points of damage.
You badly f*ck up one of-
- No, 22 to hit.
- Oh, 22 to hit.
That hits.
Yeah, absolutely.
- Okay.
That's gonna be, hold on.
- I'm just gonna let you guys know,
so that you guys can calculate
so that we speed up combat,
these delivery drones
have an armor class of 19.
So, if you hit 19, you hit them.
- Yes!
- You finally got the
delivery drone class.
- Thank you, Brennan.
Thank you.
All these episodes wasting our time.
- So I hit him for 11.
- Hit him for 11.
- I hit him for 11, and I'm
gonna stunning strike him.
- Oh, sh*t.
Okay.
This is huge.
These guys don't have a huge plus,
and he's gonna gum up the
hallway if he gets stunned.
So, he needs to get a 14 or higher.
I'm gonna roll in front of the board.
Oh!
- What?
- Brutal.
Not stunned, but takes the damage.
So only three of these guys
are gonna get attacks on Cody.
That's three hits
- With disadvantage.
- With disadvantage?
- Oh, disadvantage.
(Brennan gasps)
- The darkness.
- Okay, only two of them hit.
Cody, you take...
12 plus, you take 20 points of damage.
As these drones-
- I'll take one of those hits.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Thank you.
- Cool.
Ricky, you take nine,
and Cody, you take 11.
Now the rest of these
dudes are going to continue
to kind of just like thunder through here
towards the edge of the darkness.
They're going through
their buddies' space.
One, two.
- Maybe I should've taken
an opportunity attack.
- Yeah, we're just in
the dark not knowing.
"Ricky, do you see them?"
(Emily laughs)
- "They're around us.
"And they're definitely
not going anywhere else."
- [Brennan] Cool, hold on.
We got more of these dudes comin'.
- We got drones over here.
- "I kept saying that I was
like a Lord of the Darkness,
"but I was in hell and it's
actually pretty bright.
"There's like fire everywhere, so."
(Emily laughs)
- "I guess that would be another case
"of two sides of the same coin."
(Murph laughs)
- Two sides of the same coin.
- When Ricky doesn't know
how to relate to Cody,
he just says that.
(Murph laughs)
"Two sides of the same coin."
- And Cody, just finishes it.
"Two sides of the same coin."
- And feels really seen.
- I like the idea of the
moped still playing music
in the dark.
"Shut up, shut up!"
(Emily laughs)
- [Zac] Oh my God.
- At the end of Ricky and Cody's turn,
Null is going to use
a legendary action to-
- [Lou] Whoa!
- [Siobhan] Oh, sh*t.
- Yes, it's getting bad out here, g*ng.
Thankfully Null is not that powerful
doing spell casting with legendaries.
Null reaches out,
and it dispels the darkness
at the end of the hallway.
Darkness fades out
and that uses up all three
of its legendary actions.
(Emily laughs)
- Honestly, I was probably gonna
do it in a couple of turns.
- "I can see.
"I can see in the dark."
(Emily and Ally laugh)
- Having done that,
our good dude-
- "When the coin is together
"we can see through the darkness."
- Dale is going to leap forward here.
He's gonna take the swings.
- Is this void dude alive still?
- [Brennan] Yeah, the one
there that you can see?
- Oh, when that darkness is dispelled
can I use my prepared action
to attack that void dude
with a banishment?
- Yes, you absolutely can.
Hold on one second.
That's gonna be 15 plus eight is 23.
Dale takes 23 points of
damage from those drones
as he moves by them though.
Runs up and he's like,
"Got your back, sweetie!"
And he's gonna take some
attacks on the drone
in front of him.
- "Did you see me cast darkness?"
- He's like, "It was great, sweetie!"
(Emily laughs)
Pulverizes the drone that
was already injured up here
and is gonna use his
movement to get further
into the hallway.
That is going to,
and Pete, go ahead and let's
resolve that banishment.
You spring it on this spirit
right here I'm assuming?
- Yeah, the void guy,
the boss looking guy.
And is there a way, I mean,
he's gonna have to roll his
like charisma saving throw.
Is there a way for me to reach out
and have, like, Null feel this?
- Sure, absolutely.
- Great.
- And you heightened this,
so this dude's going to
roll with disadvantage.
He needs the lower of these
two rolls to be a 15 or higher.
19 and 13, gone.
But you are now holding
concentration on that as a reminder.
- Thanks.
Yeah, totally.
- Pete's got concentration on that.
Moving on down the line.
That was Dale.
Kingston, that is your turn.
- Great.
We'll just move to join
the fight in there.
And then...
Yeah, let me huck a sacred
flame at the lower drone.
- Hell yeah, go for it.
- Dex save 17.
- Dex save 17.
Let's see what this dude rolls.
- That's a natural four, baby.
He does not make it.
- I'm gonna do a three d8.
We love to see it.
That's gonna be 20 points of damage.
(Brennan mimics explosions)
- You light up that drone, badly injured.
After Kingston, JJ is going
to give the help action to,
the unicorn already has some bardic,
but he's gonna go over
and give the help action
to Perry the Pigeon up here,
sort of guiding the birth
of this new dragon up here.
So, here's the deal,
we're gonna roll for these spirits first.
The DC to birth the dragon here
'cause really they're trying
to summon Kugrash, right?
So, to summon Kugrash with
all of this raw umbra present,
they get a plus eight to the role,
but they need a DC, it's a DC 25.
17 or higher does it on these rolls.
- They all three have to get 25?
- All three of them have to get 25.
We're gonna roll for the unicorn first
that has that bardic inspiration die.
Unicorn first.
10.
That's an 18.
Could hit on a seven or higher
if the unicorn uses that
bardic die right now.
I think the unicorn knows
time is of the essence.
He's gonna go for it.
Here's a d10.
You need a seven or higher on this roll.
Four.
Doesn't do it.
- "It was the right move, Unicorn.
"That was the right move."
- "Thanks, hun, I'm tryin'!"
- From far away, can I bend luck?
(Brennan gasps)
- I will let you, if you
want to use your reaction,
I'll let you do a bend luck
here to add one d4 to this roll.
You need to hit a three on the d4.
- Okay.
- It's 50/50.
- Two!
(everyone groans)
Brutal.
- Again, these were all great moves.
Everyone, great moves, okay?
It was all the right things to do.
- Perry's getting a help action,
so he's gonna roll two d20.
He needs the higher of these
two to be a 17 or higher.
- 13 and four.
Marty the c*ck is gonna
go try and summon Kugrash.
Eight.
Doesn't get it done.
Moving forward.
That goes back to the top of the order.
Rowan, that is your turn.
- I think I may be most
helpful just in here.
'Cause I am pretty low on spells.
I only have first and
second level spells left.
But I can give another bardic,
and I can also give a help action.
- Yeah, definitely.
- So, I'm gonna move my coins
and have them and the
train ready in action.
So, they're like standing
guard either side of the door,
so they will get opportunity
attacks on anybody
who tries to run through.
- Hell yeah.
- And then the train will be
immediately able to get them.
And then how close do you need to be
to give the help action?
- I believe you need to
be right next to somebody
to give the help action.
Yeah, 'cause that's the
mastermind thing is being able
to do it ranged.
You need to be next to someone
to give the help action.
- I can only get to here,
but maybe they can move one square up.
(Emily laughs)
- You can give the help
action from five feet away.
That's totally fine.
- Great, great.
And then, I will say to Perry,
"I don't know if this is
rude, but you look so clean.
"You look a lot cleaner."
(everyone laughs)
- "I'm living in a coop right now,
"so you know, it's not that.
"I remember my grimy 20s.
"And it was a lot of fun honestly.
"'Cause you're in your 20s.
"You're exploring yourself-"
- "I remember the grimy 20s
like they were yesterday.
"Don't tell me-"
- "No, no, not the decade.
"I'm not immortal.
"I'm talking about my 20s."
- "Oh, your 20s.
"That's still pretty old for a pigeon."
(Emily laughs)
- Are the 1820s the grimy 20s?
(everyone laughs)
- "Yeah, the 1820s, pretty filthy.
"1720s honestly were
pretty disgusting as well.
"Most of the time before
the 1920s, honestly."
- [Brennan] Incredible.
- So, 2020 is gonna be bad?
(everyone laughs)
- No.
- Perry has the d10,
and you're giving the help
action to the unicorn.
Sofia, that's gonna be your turn.
- Okay.
Let's do this.
The one that's right in front of me.
I'm gonna try to hit it.
I do.
I hit it.
- Hell yeah.
- I hit it for 12.
- Oh, hell yeah.
Boom!
- And then I'm gonna try to stun it.
- Let's go.
- And I have a question,
since this is like a mechanical thing,
is there any way I could short circuit it
rather than just stun it?
Like, almost like stun it longer?
(Emily laughs)
You just have to ask.
- This is airtight.
- Seems airtight to me.
I was honestly thinking the same thing.
- It is not stunned on that first attack.
- Okay, cool.
So, we are not going to-
- So, it's shut off or?
(Emily laughs)
- Yeah, I feel like they
just switched the off switch.
Right?
There's a big on/off switch on the back.
- That's another hit and I'm
actually gonna hit it for,
I'm actually gonna hit it for 15.
- Hell yeah.
- Is this thing down?
- No, it is not down yet.
But you're rolling with advantage, right?
- Yeah.
- Cool, good, good, good.
- Yeah, no, I'm rolling with advantage.
- No, it is not down yet.
- Okay.
(Emily sighs)
I think I'm gonna try to stun it again
'cause that'll gum up
things and that's my goal.
- Hell yeah.
You go for another stun.
This time it fails.
It is stunned.
- Yes.
Okay.
Now I am going to the one
that's directly across from me.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- Actually, you know what?
f*ck it.
No, I'm gonna go for this one.
I'm gonna move into this spot,
so that I can go after this one,
so that I can try and make it so that,
I want to try and stun this one also.
- Cool.
- And that is gonna hit.
And this time it's only a d6.
So, that is 11.
And then I'm gonna use my final
ki point to try to stun it.
- Let's go.
Survives.
Makes it.
- f*ck me.
And then can I inspect
the apple in my pocket
to see if it's just a health apple
or if it's like replenishes other stuff?
- It doesn't look like it
"replenishes other stuff."
(Emily laughs)
- Okay.
- But how much damage did
you do on that last one
by the way?
- 11.
- 11, cool.
No, the apple looks
like it might have an
unrelated magical effect.
- Okay, cool.
And then I'm gonna
f*ck' stand in the way.
So, at least between me
and this stunned one,
it should be more difficult for-
- Yeah, much more of
a bottleneck for sure.
Okay.
After Sofia, bam.
Fly speed of 60.
The question is, yeah, that's gonna do it.
- Is that Nod or I mean Null?
- That's not Null.
That is a corporate spirit.
I am going to need two
intelligence saving throws
from Sofia, Ricky and Cody,
and I'll roll some for
Dale right now as well.
- Remember that all of
us we're all in the aura.
So, everybody gets plus four.
- And then do we get anything
for intelligence saves
with the like bardic hero's feast or not?
- No, it's just wisdom.
- Yeah, that makes sense.
- We're also blessed.
- Bards cannot help you with intelligent.
- Yeah.
- Natural 20 on my first one.
- Hell yeah.
- My first one's a fail.
I'm guessing it's a 12.
- I got a 16.
- Oh, I just got a nat 20 also!
- Hell yes.
- I have bardic inspiration still, right?
- Yes, I believe you do.
- I got a 16 on the first
one, a 14 on the second one.
- A nat 20 and then a 16.
- Remember also when you
get hit by these things
as long as they do less
than 20 damage to you,
you have advantage on your next hit.
- I think this is the Null guy doing his-
- These are the minor spirits.
These are not as powerful as Null's-
- Oh.
- God damn it.
I was hoping I was gonna
become immune to that.
- So Dale, how much do
you guys give with your,
you have plus four?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
Did any-
- Oh!
Wait plus four then I
actually would've got a 16.
What was the DC?
- Did any of you guys roll
either of your two saves
lower than 14?
- No because of the Paladins, I didn't.
- I got exactly 14.
- I shouldn't have used
my bardic but yeah.
- Incredible.
You guys take zero damage.
However, Dale is not so lucky.
(Emily gasps)
Dale takes...
- Dale, you absolutely have to live, dude.
- Wait a second.
Can I use my nat 20 to
like take his damage?
- I will let you take his damage,
but he's still gonna get stunned.
- Okay.
- So you take 17, 19, plus four.
You take 23 points of damage.
Dale is hit.
He hasn't had a meat
brain in a couple years
and gets rocked bad by this psychic blast.
Dale is stunned.
He'll be able to make those
saves at the end of his turns,
but he is stunned right now.
- Send your moped to go pick
up Dale and bring him away.
I don't want anyone getting
attack advantage on him.
- That is going to be Pete.
That is your turn.
- [Ally] Hey great.
I am going to move right up here.
And then I am going to cast erupting earth
in the second doorway
and try to hit all of these
like drones right here.
So, on the side of the
door closest to Null.
- Hell yes.
Okay.
- Ooh, it'll make a
difficult terrain too, right?
- Yes, you'll slow them way the f*ck down.
120, awesome
- 120 feet and it's a 20 foot cube,
so that should hit all
of those little guys
and maybe some in the second group.
- Yep, you can hit, you can absolutely.
You know what?
Homie, you can hit the first
two in the second group
and everybody in the
first group, no problem.
- [Ally] You love to see it.
Okay, great.
This is a three d12 bludgeoning
damage on a failed dex save.
- Cool.
- And now each five foot
portion takes a minute to clear.
- Although I will also tell you,
you won't be able to hit the first two
if you want to also hit
the doorway into the hall.
So, if you want to get
the doorway into the hall,
it would be like that and the first six.
That would slow them down the most.
- So you think if I'm
trying to get the first two,
I'm still leaving a little crevice
for them to kind of be able
to slip through the door?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- I'll scoot that back, and
I'll just hit the first six.
- Cool.
Rad as hell.
Ally, go ahead and roll
that bludgeoning damage.
- Do I roll that or is it just a save?
- Five of them fail their saves.
You roll damage.
- Oh, incredible.
Oh, great.
Three d12, I'm gonna roll that.
Here we go.
- [Brennan] Ooh, baby.
- 18, honey.
- Jesus.
These drones get fu-
Pete, you shutter the ground.
That doorway fully collapses.
There is now,
like beams and rafters fall.
These robots are gonna have
to crawl through wreckage
to get into that hallway.
Incredible job by Pete.
And these drones are badly, badly hurt.
You think the incorporeal ones
will not have as hard a time,
but the main army of drones
is gonna have a hard time
getting in.
- Can I do a perception check and see,
it kind of seems like Null is,
like, afraid or, like, weak
and is just hanging in that other room.
Can I try to see what's up there?
- Null is not gonna be
hanging for long, Pete.
And its Null's turn right now,
so I'll let you decipher
how Null is feeling
from the next series
of things that happen.
- I think that Null used his legend.
He was hanging back to
get rid of the darkness.
- It feels like classic,
"I'm a bad guy who's leading an army."
- Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
I think you guys are all right.
- Yeah, that's truly so
many of these dudes still.
- I'm gonna get so f*cked by Null.
- Okay.
Null is going to cast dimension door
and appears right in front of Sofia.
- Okay.
- "Hi, old friend.
"Probably weird to see me moving around
"considering last time."
(Brennan laughs)
- Yeah.
You just see the bright
burlesque go gray behind you
as a silhouette moves
directly in front of you.
That's going to be Esther's turn.
Esther's going to cast chain lightning.
That's gonna be ten d8 lightning damage to
38 damage.
And she's gonna do that.
And there is a save for half, I believe.
It's a dex save.
I'm gonna roll for these four.
- None of them make it.
Esther just holds the
staff of sorrow aloft
and reaches out
and lightning crackles
forth from her hands.
One, two, three, four.
Drones are destroyed.
- Incredible.
- After Esther's turn,
that is gonna be Cody.
- All right, so I think we
absolutely have to get rid
of these two wraith dudes, right?
- I think that would be very helpful.
- Like, we have to figure
out a way to get to them.
- But they're behind.
- They're behind.
Would I just take one
opportunity attack, Brennan,
if we drove past this
one dude and then went up
and tried to k*ll this
guy to get to the others?
- You'd only take one opportunity attack.
- I think it's worth it.
- What if I position my body like a ramp?
And you could just-
(everyone laughs)
- Make the jump.
- Moped crashes into you so hard.
- That drone misses on its attack, Cody.
- Great.
Is this one stunned?
- That one in front of you
is not stunned or is it?
- The one that's stunned is
the one that's down from me.
- [Murph] Okay, then I-
- Cody, you might recognize,
going southbound is probably better
because there won't be enough space
for Ricky to fight up here
even if you clear through.
- Cool, so we will go south.
And Ricky, do you want to attack
first so you get advantage?
'Cause I'll get advantage
on the moped on the next-
- Are you fighting Null?
- No, I think we should
get rid of the other guys.
'Cause they can stun us, which is terrible
but they have low HP.
Like, we can just get rid of them totally.
- The little robots or the?
- So I think we have to k*ll-
- The wraiths.
- To get it out of the way
and then get the wraiths.
- Okay.
- And you have haste on you,
so you have tons of hex.
- My only concern is
should we back out of here?
- I will say this, Cody,
you have that warhorse attack.
This drone is looking f*cked
up, the one that Sofia-
- Oh sh*t.
I could just try to charge through it.
- Yeah.
- It automatically fails
strength saving throws, right?
- That's correct, yes.
- So, we can just run this f*ck over.
- Sure.
Cody, you get on your f*ck'
moped, no roll necessary.
You run over this wraith.
- "f*ck you!
"f*ck you, Gladiator!"
(everyone laughs)
- Can I do like an insight check
if Cody's moped came from Gladiator?
If it's like a Gladiator manufacturer?
- No, dude, this was
summoned straight from hell.
This is a hell moped.
- A hell-ped.
Sweet, so then I will
drive through that dude.
And then we'll start
going after the wraiths
or you can attack whoever you want.
I will-
- Do we feel like this Null,
this Null right in front of us
is like the kind of thing
where it's like a tendril
like in that previous fight
or like the whole thing?
- This feels like the whole
thing's trying to come through.
- I think just the more of
these wraiths guys around,
the more just turns of getting stunned.
So, I'm just gonna-
- I'll hit this guy.
I can hit the lesser dude.
- Yeah, I'll start trying
to wail on him as well.
- Okay.
First attack.
- I'm gonna great weapon master on this.
- Cool.
- 21 to hit on the first one.
- Yep.
- I got 19 to hit.
- 19 hits.
- Thank you.
And 25 on the second attack.
And I got a bonus action.
Move my hex to them, so
they take the hex damage.
- Hell yeah.
- 35 damage.
- Hell yeah.
- Okay, I'll great weapon master.
How hurt does this thing look?
- Hurt?
It looks hurt.
35 it looks bad, yeah.
- I'll great weapon master again.
I want to take this thing out.
Yes!
That's without bless it's already a 19.
- Yeah, you hit.
- Great.
I can't move hex to this one
because it's a bonus action.
So, I'll just do my two
d6s plus my d8 plus 20.
Great weapon.
I'm gonna reroll the one.
I see there's a one in there.
- Cool.
- Yeah, I got a two so 30 damage.
- 30 and 35.
That one is hanging on by a thread.
- God damn it.
(Murph sighs)
- I will also say this.
You guys both started your turns
within 30 feet of Null, correct?
I'm gonna need wisdom saving
throws from both of you.
- Advantage!
Advantage
Because of Misty.
- Incredible.
- 18 on the die.
Wisdom saving throw.
- 19 flat.
- Did you use bless?
Are you blessed?
- Yeah.
- I got a 30.
- Okay.
So Cody, you're adding the paladin bonus,
the bless, and Rowan's advantage?
Cool.
You got a 19 and what did Ricky get?
- 30.
(everyone laughs)
- Incredible.
- Rolled a 18.
- Start of your turn.
Cody takes 40 damage.
- Yeah, I don't know that,
I think we got to pull back, right?
'Cause like-
- You think so?
- If we get separated
from the rest of the group
on this side, we'll die.
- So, but that wraith is
hanging on by a thread.
- Let's yeah, we can always back up.
Let's just k*ll this dude at least.
- Okay.
- I'm out of attacks.
I got him down low.
- I got a 21, a 25, and a 30 to hit.
- All hit.
- So my first attack would
be two d8 plus two d6.
- Plus seven.
- Plus seven?
- [Brennan] Yep.
- Oh, f*ck.
That's all twos on the die.
So, two, four, six, eight plus seven.
So, 15 on the first attack.
- [Brennan] Gone.
He was by a thread.
- And then-
- Do we wanna-
- You can use your other
attacks on Null if you want.
- [Murph] Or this other guy.
This other wraith.
- Yeah, if I can, if I
step in and then come back,
can we get out still?
- Yeah, I'll moped us
the f*ck out of here.
- Also at the end of Cody's turn,
Null is gonna take a swing
hit with the legendary action.
Go ahead and give me a
charisma saving throw, Cody.
(Murph sighs)
- Okay.
I have a lot.
But I got a nat one.
(Emily groans)
- You take eight, 10...
You take 25 points of damage,
and your max is reduced by that amount.
- You f*ck' hate to see that.
- Cool.
Ricky, you got two attacks left.
- You know, I think I just wanna hit Null.
I think I'm just gonna do that.
- Go for it.
- 'Cause I worry
that we won't be able to
back out of here very easily.
- Cool.
Cody does make a good point
about how dangerous those wraiths are.
- We're not gonna k*ll Null
in one hit is all I'm saying.
You know what I mean?
If the wraiths are gone,
that's one less dude
who can area of effect
ruin all of our turns.
- I'll hit the wraith then.
All right, let's do that.
So that's two hits on it.
That's four d8 plus four d6
plus 14.
- Do you have any smites?
- Let's see.
- 'Cause these guys
have like 60 something.
- Yeah, I'll do one first level smite.
- That's smart.
- That's gonna be ten
d8 plus four d6 plus 14.
- 68.
- These guys have exactly 67 hit points.
- Oh my God!
It's so good to get rid of them.
- Flame, lightning, and
shadow fill the tunnel
as Sofia, Cody, and Ricky
light up these wraiths.
Ricky, at the end of your turn,
Null is gonna take a swing at you.
That is a nat 20.
- Jesus Christ.
- Go ahead and give me a
charisma saving throw, Ricky.
- Okay.
Sorry, let me clear up my dice.
Let's see.
Where am I at?
Oh great.
26 plus two.
28.
- Your hit point max is not reduced,
but it's still gonna do...
D8 plus six.
Ricky, you take 41 points of damage.
- Okay.
Rebuke the violence.
I get it back on a short
rest, so I hit him for 41.
- Oh!
- Yeah!
I was hopin' that might happen.
- Null is hurt by this.
Stings.
- And that's, you know,
like radiant damage.
- Hell yeah.
Bypasses all resistances.
Incredible.
That is Ricky's turn.
You guys got rid of those wraiths.
- Can I hop back on the bike?
- Yeah, do we want to move?
I don't want to leave Sofie here to just-
- Yeah.
- I'm fine.
I'm worried about Dale.
Why don't we back up a little bit
and give Dale the old paladin enthusiasm.
- Yeah, if you back up
more than five feet,
Null's gonna get a swing on
you with an opportunity attack.
- Oh, I'm wrong!
Reach is so bad.
Null has 15 feet of reach
which means you almost
never leave its reach.
You guys can move wherever.
You guys move all the way
back to Dale if you want.
- Okay, cool.
- [Emily] Sweet.
- [Murph] Let's just move back to Dale.
- Cool.
Hell yes.
- And then maybe you
can like get in the way.
- I mean you could go
even further, right, Cody?
- Yeah, I'm pretty f*cked up.
But he's just gonna get
an opportunity attack,
so I might as well be here.
- If you begin your round
within 30 feet of him-
- Can I switch spots with you, Cody?
- Do you want to swap?
Do you want to try it?
- Yeah, I mean, you guys
have 15 feet of movement.
- We're not gonna switch.
The moped shenanigans
have become too much.
No, there's no swappin'.
(everyone laughs)
The idea of this being an
effective way to fight-
- Wow, Brennan is not
rooting for friendship.
- Wow.
- Against friendship.
- Why do you think there's no benefit
to riding a moped in a tunnel, in a cave.
- Dale rolls a natural
four, is still stunned.
Kingston, that is your turn.
- Okay.
Kingston's gonna move,
I'm worried about the flashes
and bangs coming from the tunnel.
And is gonna move 30 feet.
But then standing here in the place
where he received his powers
is gonna try one more time
for divine intervention.
- You are going to roll
this with advantage.
- Okay.
All right, here we go.
First one.
(Lou sighs)
15.
- So close.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Pete, it's been,
Pete-
- Yeah, I could.
- 15 is within,
you just need a three
or a four on bend luck
to move that 15 to a 12.
Kingston's 12th level now.
- Let's do it.
- Hell yeah.
- Oh, it's by level.
- Yep.
Roll that d4.
(everyone cheers)
- Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
- Bend that luck!
- The Voxes working together again.
- Just roll again just to see.
- The other one was 18.
So we-
- Yeah!
(Brennan yells)
- Oh my God!
My God!
- I love this game!
- Kingston, you are walking,
oh f*ck.
Oh f*ck.
Oh f*ck.
f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.
- I think Brennan just actually came.
- I came so hard.
- That's try number 22.
In game, that's the 22nd time I've rolled.
- You're right.
- Do you know how unlikely
a d4 is to be helpful
on a d100 roll?
Here's the deal.
Kingston, you are walking to the place
where you got the eternal
token all those years ago.
You look up and see
your dear friend, Pete.
You are about to have your child,
and you look and think of how
much your heart became open
through your friendship to Pete.
Pete, you look up and
see the Vox coming here.
This is a man who's lived his whole life
in service of everybody else
who's gonna finally get a
chance to live his dream.
With a tiny bit of magic,
Pete, you look down and you're just gonna,
and it's just a little
bit of bending luck.
There's this-
- Shamrock on that guy.
- There's a little bit of bending luck.
You think about the coin
that was given to you
by your great, great, great
grandmother in that photograph.
You think about all of the things
that had to get you to this point.
And you see something at Kingston's feet
that Kingston is one half
second away from not noticing
until you reach out with your
reaction to bend that luck
and point to it.
And Kingston, underneath the tokens,
you hear a muffled, "brrr-ing, brrrr-ing.
"Brrr-ing, brrr-ing."
- I reach into the tokens.
- Buried in the tokens is an
ancient New York City payphone,
and it's calling.
- I pick it up.
- "Hey, Kingston.
"Sorry we haven't been getting your calls.
"What is it that you need?"
- "It's all right.
"I'm sure you're busy.
"There's something real
important here for me,
"and for this city.
"And I'd give a whole lot
"if you'd do everything
in your power to stop Null
"from taking it away from me."
- "Kingston, New York City's behind you.
"We got your back."
Throughout New York City,
today is the day where the
first article gets published
about the coverup of that
warehouse worker's m*rder.
People are outraged, in disbelief.
Phones start ringing off the hook
at City Council People's Offices.
People move through the streets.
A brick goes through the window
of the Millennium Gladiator campus,
and a full-scale riot breaks out.
Letters arrive at corporate headquarters
of Excelsior Home Dynamics
that they've been discovered for fraud
and a city attorney, Liz Herrera,
is going to be taking them to court.
At that same time,
a class action lawsuit
from thousands of people
in the city citing health hazards
from Cipher Energy Fluid
gets filed by David Kugrich.
All over the city people are talking.
We see mail carriers delivering letters.
In an upper East Side penthouse,
the woman that Kingston
spoke to on the subway goes,
"I really should, I'm gonna call somebody.
"We should get people together
and do something about this."
In Crown Heights,
Mike is talking to a bunch
of other religious leaders,
imams, rabbis, priests,
saying, "We need to talk
to our congregations
"and get people together
"because this company is
not good for this city."
And at a Gladiator shipping center,
Josh Mendoza leads an entire
warehouse full of workers
off the floor in a mass
spontaneous strike.
The heart of the city beats.
Kingston, you are glowing
with more divine light
than you have ever seen
yourself radiate in this moment.
Null is going to be defeated here.
And you have never been
more certain of anything
in your life.
For this miracle in this combat,
you see Null twinge and get
hurt as injunctions are filed,
as people start screaming,
huge public outcry,
the loss of the Cloisters,
the loss of Ellis Island,
the loss of the carousel,
the loss of homes
and families and neighborhoods.
The city turns against
Gladiator in this moment,
even though they don't recognize
that magic has been done here, it has.
The magic of the waking
world and of this place.
Here you move with the spirit
of all New Yorkers behind you.
All rolls for the rest of
the combat will be done
with advantage.
(Ally cheers)
All rolls for the rest of
the combat will be done
with advantage.
Additionally, this is
a divine intervention.
The spirit of New York reaches out.
All of you are going to have resistance
against all forms of damage
for the rest of the combat.
(everyone laughs)
- What?
- That's what I'm f*cking talking about.
(Brennan laughs)
- Are, like, Perry, are
like Juicy c*ck,
are their rolls going
to be with advantage-
- Advantage.
All with advantage.
Every role that every of you-
- Except for Null though.
Null doesn't roll with advantage.
- No.
Actually, you know what?
This sundae, you deserve a cherry.
Null will be rolling with disadvantage
for the rest of the combat.
- Yes!
(Emily laughs)
- Oh man.
- Make it count.
When it's hard, you make it count.
- Hey, 22 times.
22 times.
(Brennan laughs)
- Oh my God, I can't f*ck' believe that!
- Wow, that's really beautiful.
- What the f*ck?
Yeah, hey Kingston, good turn.
(Brennan laughs)
- "Hey, everybody.
"It's gonna happen.
"Let's get to it."
(everyone laughs)
- "Good job, Kingston.
"That was awesome."
(everyone laughs)
"It was really cool, yeah."
- "Wow.
"Cody, it's so nice to here
sincerity in your voice.
"It's not always there
"but when it is, it really
means something, man."
- Incredible.
Knowing that everything is gonna be okay,
JJ rushes out to the
door to join the fight.
After JJ, now we go back to
Unicorn, Perry, and Marty.
Here we go.
Everyone get ready.
Okay, this is Unicorn.
18.
Unicorn succeeds!
- Yeah!
- The Unicorn just, "Kugrash, we need you!
"Come back to us!
"Please, sweet rat Jesus!"
That's the unicorn.
Perry's gonna go.
Remember, Perry has
that bardic inspiration.
Okay, 16.
- So close.
- But even a one puts him over!
Rowan, you reach out to Perry.
You reach out to Perry
and he looks and says,
"Am I doing it right?
"Rowan, does it seem like?"
- "You're doing fabulous, darling."
- You see, boom.
"Kugrash, I miss you!
"And I really mean I miss you the person!
"Please come back!"
- Aw!
- Last one.
This one's from Marty.
Just needs the higher
of these two to be a 17.
17!
- Oh my God!
- Holy sh*t!
"Start spreading the news!
"Ba ba bada da dum."
We're gonna move a baby
into the center of-
- You have a baby token?
Y'all got a baby token?
- Oh!
(Emily laughs)
- Oh damn, Kendra.
Oh, Kendra, you gotta stop with that.
(everyone laughs)
- [Ally] Oh, Kingston's gonna have a baby.
- The dragon of Harlem is born.
The new dragon of New York City.
Doesn't know it's a dragon.
Looks up to see that it is surrounded
by a c*ck holding a toothpick staff,
a very spicy pigeon, a unicorn,
and a Faerie queen in a
resplendent yellow pantsuit
with a silver flag pin.
The child of Kingston Brown
and Liz Herrera looks up
with wonder, and immediately
you see the baby smile,
look up and begin to hear
rumblings throughout the hoard.
In the burlesque, every
single drone explodes,
disanimating and is gone.
Null cringes over.
The only thing keeping Null here
in this moment is raw umbra.
That is it.
I cannot believe that
that advantage led specifically to that.
Rowan, that's your turn.
- I'm gonna pick up that baby.
(everyone laughs)
Gonna pick up that baby.
He's just sitting there
on a pile of coins.
He could eat one of those coins.
(everyone laughs)
- Protect this baby at all costs.
- I will protect this baby at all costs.
- Our Faerie queen picks up this,
how wonderful to have a
sweet little mortal baby
even if it's maybe deeply
and profoundly magical, but-
- Especially if it's deeply
and profoundly magical,
I think from my point of view.
"Kingston, I'm this
baby's fairy godmother.
"I'm just letting you know!"
- "What?
"It happened?"
- "It happened, come in here!"
(everyone laughs)
- "Okay."
- Oh my God, fairy godmother.
It's perfect.
- Kingston uses a legendary action.
- Yes, do I have legendary actions too?
- To run to your baby?
- Oh my God.
So the dragon being back,
you see that Null is,
this is the thing that repels Null.
Null winces, doubles over, vomits.
And the last person it ate,
an unconscious Iga Lisowski,
appears on the floor in front of,
or appears farther away
from Null in the bank vault
with two failed death saves.
- Right.
- You realize the beings that
Null has been devouring here
in New York it's going to
vomit out piece by piece
until it, and then it's,
this is it being destroyed.
But we're going to continue moving
through the initiative order-
- Wouldn't Rowan still have,
like, stuff she could do?
- Yeah, Rowan, you could still do stuff.
Absolutely.
- There's not an enormous
amount of stuff I can do.
- Yeah, I mean the baby.
That was a fine turn.
- Oh, sorry.
I thought you had like
cure wounds or something.
I mean, I do, but like
cure wounds is touch,
and I'm so far away from everybody.
- I see.
- You know that this baby
is not in any like danger.
This baby, you guys did it.
The baby is born.
This baby being closer to Null hurts Null.
This baby's not in any danger anymore.
- So, I'll take my movement
towards Null then with the baby.
- Incredible.
Rowan, you pick up this
sweet baby and are flanked
by the spirits of New York.
Marty jumps up on your shoulder,
Perry flies overhead, and the
unicorn trots by your side.
Sofia, that's your turn.
- Okay, is this Iga right here?
Yeah.
Okay.
Is Dale still stunned?
- Dale is still stunned.
Yes.
- Okay, can I run over here, grab Dale,
and then run over and casts
Kingston's cure wounds on-
- Oh my God!
- What's his face will get
an opportunity attack on me.
- That's okay.
You start your turn within
its annihilating aura.
Give me a wisdom saving throw.
- You have advantage.
- Oh my God, I got a one but also a 19!
Which becomes much higher.
- You take zero damage.
The DC's 21.
You peace out of there.
Null's gonna take an
attack with disadvantage.
Seven.
- If he hits me, I'll shield.
- I believe, seven plus 30.
Yes, hits you.
Shield?
- Okay, shield.
- Misses you.
- Cool, I want to grab Dale
and get him out of the way
of any of these people.
Can I, like, do something
like an athletics check
or something to like-
- You hoist your beautiful
husband over your shoulder.
(Emily laughs)
- And then I cast,
what did you put into my leopard
print cardigan, Kingston?
- Level one cure wound.
- Level one cure wounds.
- Okay.
So, I cast four plus Kingston's
spell casting modifier
on Iga.
(Siobhan gasps)
- Iga, you awaken.
- "What happened?
"What had happened?
"Why are we in the-"
- "Iga, remember when
I came in so many times
"and talked about my ex-husband?
"I mean my dead husband, this is him.
"Meet Dale."
- "Hi, Dale, it's so nice to meet you."
(Emily laughs)
(Brennan mumbles)
- "I forgot he's stunned right now."
- "He looks nice.
"He looks so nice."
- "Me and my wife are chosen ones.
"We're the chosen two.
"Two chosen ones.
"Double, double chosen ones."
That is Sofia's turn.
Incredible!
- Should I roll initiative?
- I have you in the initiative already.
- Oh, great.
- That would have been the
wraiths' turn to hit everybody,
but those wraiths are gone, baby.
- Yeah, yeah!
- Oh my f*ck' God.
Pete, that is your turn.
- I take two steps forward, and
I cast disintegrate on Null.
And he has disadvantage on his dex save.
- Yeah!
- Hell yes.
Okay.
Null, is there anything sneaky you can do?
You're such an important bad guy.
Hold on.
Oh my God.
How far away is Pete from Null?
- 60.
- Okay, Null's gonna hit
you with a counter spell.
Gonna roll this with disadvantage
as Null rolls everything.
Disintegrate is what level?
- Six.
- Six.
- Can you twin spell it and hit him twice?
- I don't have the sorcery points.
I would need six to do that.
- Yeah, twin spell's expensive.
- Seven.
Null does not counter the spell.
Uses its reaction.
It's gonna roll dex
save with disadvantage.
The dex save here is gonna be...
What does Null get?
Plus four.
Needs the lower of these two to be a 13.
That's a four, baby.
Failed the save.
- Here comes damage!
(Brennan laughs)
- 81 points of damage.
- Oh my God.
- Pete, you stride forward.
You stride forward.
What does Pete say as he
hits Null square in the chest
with this disintegrate?
- I think I'm feeling extra
connected to Kingston right now,
and I almost feel like maybe
I got a whiff of this, like,
like the city is really
just coming together
almost like when your skin
pushes out a splinter.
Just like realizing something is wrong
and getting rid of it,
and that is the intention
that I have when I'm like.
Goodbye!
- Can I eat the apple?
- Pete, you hit Null deep in its chest
and fill it with color.
You rip a portal open in Null
and heal the Sixth Borough
through Null as a portal.
You see the Sixth Borough
comes back together,
and Null vomits out its
second most recent victim Nod,
the gray orphan who screams
into the Sixth Borough and says,
"Thanks, Pete!
"I always knew you'd do it!"
(Ally laughs)
- Wow, so much energy
just out of his mouth.
(Brennan laughs)
Just got barfed out, and
you're on top of the world.
I love you, Nod.
- Null has gone from being a
horrifying entity of beyond
to now looking hurt-hurt.
Like, you are perceiving
tatters and injury
in the fabric of this
extra dimensional being.
That is going to be Iga.
Oh, sorry, no, no, no.
That's Null.
Null goes first.
Okay.
Null is going to move
forward into this space.
Actually gonna move right here.
- Cody, did you get an opportunity attack?
- We don't get opportunity attacks, do we?
- You both get opportunity attacks.
- I used my reaction earlier to do-
- Cool.
- Okay, I'm absolutely gonna go all out.
- You have advantage remember.
- Just this one time.
- Freak out on it, dude.
- I'm gonna take a shot with advantage.
I'm not gonna do great weapon master.
That is a 24 to hit before bless.
27 to hit with bless.
- 27's going to do it.
Absolutely.
- Sweet.
And then I will do a
third level divine smite.
- You have a third level spell?
Oh my God.
- Ooh, let's see another
person get vomited out.
- Okay, so what is,
third level is five d8?
- Third level's five d8, yep.
Or no, four d8.
- It's four d8.
So it's yeah.
Okay, so roll two d6 plus it's-
- Five d8.
- It's five d8 but with
improved divine smite, is it?
No, you're right, it's five.
Okay, five d8 plus 10.
- 40.
- 40 damage.
- You slash into Null as it passes by you.
A perfect infernal backstab
as this thing moves by you.
It is going to use a mind blast.
I'm gonna need intelligence saving throws
from Iga, Sofia, and Pete.
- Whoa.
- All these are made with advantage.
- And blessed.
- It's only a plus one.
- I'm definitely gonna fail.
- 14.
- 10.
- Oh, do I have?
I don't think I do.
I have nothing left from when I was-
- So that's a 10 as my first roll.
- I got an eight.
- Okay, so to the 10 I'm gonna
add a d6 which is my bless.
- Okay.
- So that's 12.
- [Brennan] Okay.
(Emily laughs)
- Say it in an excited way
and hopefully you'll trick
Brennan into thinking-
- Oh, so that's 12.
Oh cool, that's 12.
- I actually got an eight.
- That's actually pretty good.
That's a 12.
- Okay.
So Sofia, Pete,
what did Sofia get?
12?
- Eight.
- Eight.
Pete got 12.
Dale also failed.
what did Iga get?
- 14.
- 14.
Okay.
You feel this thing reaching out.
You can either, again,
choose to give in to the stunned effect
or give up one of your six ability scores.
- [Emily] I'll give up my strength.
- [Siobhan] Yeah, I'm giving
up my strength as well.
Nothing I need for strength.
- So everyone there is
going to take 22 damage.
- I'm down again.
- It's okay,
but at least you don't
have two death saves now.
- Yes.
- Ooh, that was fun to watch,
barely anything get taken away
because of that temp HP.
- Love that.
- I will also do strength as well.
- All of you feel that Null
feels itself losing its grasp
on New York.
It knows it's being driven
out into the deeper dreaming.
It's not about New York anymore.
It's about taking you out
to the deep sea with it.
- Oh.
- It is saying, "if you will drive me out,
"I will make you pay."
And you give up your strength.
Dale-
- Dale is already stunned.
- Already stunned.
He stays stunned, yeah.
- Oh.
Is this the first?
Yeah, this is the first
time I've been hit.
I think I have to roll
for concentration for that banishment.
- Yes, go for it.
- Is that with advantage as well?
- Yeah, you guys only roll with advantage
because of Kingston now.
- Absolutely incredible.
That's a nine.
Hell yeah, that's 18.
- You maintain concentration.
That's the end of Null's turn.
Iga, that's you.
- I roll a death save.
- You roll with advantage by the way.
- Incredible.
- Everything rolled with advantage.
- 18.
- [Brennan] That is a success.
Next up is going to be Esther.
Esther is going to run up.
She's going to double
up on chain lightning.
- Nice.
- Hits Null for 55 points,
halved 'cause Null makes the
save even with disadvantage.
- Oh, were people taking a
half damage on the magic?
- Oh sh*t, everyone
should've taken half damage
on that attack because you
all have resistance to damage.
- I still would have gone down.
- Cool, cool.
And Esther fries these drones
behind with the chain lightning.
Cody, that's gonna be you.
- Sweet.
Let's go kick this thing's a*s.
Let's take the moped.
Drive it dangerously close to this portal.
(everyone laughs)
And takes-
- Just be so careful.
Just be so careful.
(Murph laughs)
(Murph yells)
- I'm going to, believe it
or not, go all out again.
- Incredible.
- Freak out on them.
- Actually, no, you know what?
I'm not gonna...
I only have two slots left,
so I'll smite on each one if I hit.
So, I will make my first attack.
That is a 20 to hit.
Plus a blessed 21.
Sweet.
I will do last third level spell slot...
- My man was just hangin'.
- It was five d8 we said?
- Yep.
- Plus two d6.
Oh, I'll move my hex to
Null to make it three d6
and then plus 10.
- [Brennan] Jesus.
40 damage.
You f*ck Null up.
Go ahead and roll again.
- Okay.
That one is a, that's even higher to hit.
That's like a nat 16.
So like 26.
- 26 to hit?
Yeah, you hit.
Go for it.
- Yeah, okay.
And then the last one, second
level smite, my last spell.
So that's four d8 plus three d6.
Another 40.
(Brennan sighs)
- Cody, what is Cody
looking like as he lays
into this monstrosity?
- "Gladiator, get the
f*ck out of our city,
"you f*cking piece of sh*t!"
I throw a Big Gulp into the portal.
(Brennan laughs)
- Ricky.
Oh, I'm gonna need wisdom
saves from Ricky and Cody
by the way.
- Advantage.
Oh, unless you've taken more than 20.
- Still advantage.
- We still have advantage, right?
- Oh yeah, you have advantage anyway.
- Advantage no matter what.
- No matter what.
- The gods are on our side.
- 18.
- 28.
- 28, 18 for Ricky?
- Yes.
- Okay.
Ricky, at the beginning of your turn,
you are gonna take ten d6 psychic damage.
- Is this gonna be halved?
- This is gonna be halved.
You take 15 points of damage.
- Okay.
- What's Ricky at right now?
- Ricky is at 70.
(everyone laughs)
- Oh my God, so tough.
- Fun and fancy free, baby.
Cool, Ricky, take your turn.
- Ricky's going to step in to Null,
but step past Null to right here.
And he is going to, you know,
two sides of the same coin, fire and ice.
(Murph laughs)
Take three attacks on Null
with advantage, right?
- Hell yeah.
- Like, a 26 on the first one.
- That hits.
- 23 without bless.
- 23's gonna hit.
- And then last one is,
was really hoping I would crit,
was a 20.
With bless that would be a 24.
- Yeah, you hit all three times.
- Okay.
Oh, I'm gonna hit my stopwatch first,
and I'm gonna use lay on hands
on Iga to give her 20 HP.
(Brennan gasps)
- Hell yes.
- Brilliant.
- And then I'll do my attack,
so I don't know if that matters?
- It does.
Yes, absolutely.
- And so that would be-
- My max HP is 19.
So he could give me fewer than that.
- Forgot about that.
- I'll give you 19.
- Great.
- What is this gonna be?
Six d6 of lightning damage plus,
and I'm gonna divine smite as well.
And that's my last first level spell slot.
So that's...
Four d8 plus Four d8, right?
It's eight d8.
- Hell yeah.
- Plus 21.
- Jesus Christ.
(everyone laughs)
- That's such a good roll!
- Such a sick combo.
- Oh my God.
Pretty good rolls.
Pretty good rolls.
- Wow.
- I'm feet away,
and I just go, "Fire 'n ice."
(everyone laughs)
- It's like that gum.
- Just like that gum.
- Cody and Ricky,
Null is being just,
ping ponging back and
forth between your blades.
You've done 80 and 92 points
of damage to this thing.
It is hanging on by the barest of tatters.
At the end of each of your turns,
it's gonna take swings with disadvantage.
Misses Ricky bad.
Hits Cody.
Cody, go ahead.
You take 11,
17, 20,
Cody, you take 25 points of damage.
- Halved, right?
- Halved, yes.
- Okay.
So 12?
- 12, that's correct.
- I'm gonna say-
- I love the idea of doing
like a cool-a*s combo
and still like looking the other way.
And then just getting punched
in the back of the head.
(everyone laughs)
"Oh, f*ck!"
- I'm gonna say,
because Sofia and Ricky both
cast healing spells on Iga,
I am going to let Iga reroll
initiative for this combat.
Go ahead and roll initiative right now.
- Okay.
21.
I rolled a nat 20.
Useless nat 20.
- I love it.
Iga, you flicker wake up.
You may act before these
delivery drones act.
There's the last couple
in the hall here charging.
You see them charging.
You see Null is looking f*cked up.
It is your turn.
- Well, if Null is looking f*cked up
then I will Eldritch blast Null.
- Hell yes.
Go for it.
"You think you can put
me in some gray void
"for an unspecified length of time
"that I don't really,
"I don't,
"I'm gonna hit you."
Wait, with advantage.
I mean, I think they all hit anyway.
I got, like, 21 is my lowest.
- Incredible.
- Let me just make sure that I don't crit.
I do not.
So that's roll three d10 plus 19.
- Okay.
- 43 damage.
How's it lookin'?
- Iga, you stand to your feet,
and this thing that had imprisoned you,
you stand up healed,
look past Sofia and hit Null.
You see a gate opens up behind you.
A young boy with a sword
and a portal opened
by a young wizard opens up behind you
as Nick and Jess rush out behind you.
Jess covers you in an abjurative ward
as Nick rushes forward
with his sword and says,
"Get away from my mom, you creep!"
And all the stories that were
and all the stories that will
be flash out of you into Null.
I'm gonna write down how
many hit points Null has left
on a piece of paper right now.
'Cause it's an absolutely
goofy f*cking number.
- In which case,
I press my watch.
(Brennan laughs)
And I go again and as I'm
sh**ting these Eldritch blasts,
I say to Null, "Once upon a time
"there was a man who
dreamed of having a child."
Two of those hit.
Let's see if with advantage.
Oh yeah, I hit three times.
29 damage.
- One hit point left.
- We cannot see it.
(everyone laughs)
Absolutely not.
- It's not there.
- We can't see it.
We really can't see it.
- Oh, here it is.
One.
- You gotta use a thicker marker.
- The insinuation was there
that it was gonna be one.
(everyone laughs)
- [Brennan] Null is blasted
into the deep dreaming
as Eldritch blasts.
The power of story reaches out
sending Null spiraling through space.
As it convulses in its death throes,
we are going to end this round of combat.
Dale is going to roll his save.
On a nat 20 Dale comes out of stunned!
- Yay!
How's he looking?
"Hon, please eat this apple."
- "Oh, okay.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Kingston, you're our last
PC in the initiative order
for this round.
You see Iga putting the
final death blow on Null.
You hear a couple of drones behind.
There's four drones left in the hallway.
What does Kingston do?
- I think there's just like a moment,
'cause like I can see everyone now,
like everyone's in the room
where I think Kingston just
looks at all of his friends
who fought so hard, one, for the city,
but also for this dream.
And then I think he turns
around and looks at JJ
and is like, "Hey man, will you film this?
"Liz is going to be so
mad if I don't film this."
- JJ screens up a little cantrip.
He's like, "Got it.
"Do you want me to focus
on the extra planar being
"being banished back to
the depths of dreaming
"or you and the baby?"
- "Me and the baby.
"I don't think Liz, is just,
"I'm just gonna tell
Liz that we beat Null.
"This is the important part."
- Rowan emerges from the vault followed
by the three spirits of New York.
And I think also by a
scintillating bit of starlight
as the totems summon Kugrash himself
who appears in this moment.
Kingston, you see Rowan walk out
with the sweetest baby in the world.
- "That him or her?
"I'm not sure."
- "You want me to check?"
- "I just, I don't know.
"I don't know.
"Just bring him."
- From the other room I yell,
"Gender is a construct!"
- "I know that!
"I said it and then I didn't know."
- "f*ck' essentialist a*s baby.
"Holy m*therf*cker.
"What, are you gonna have a
gender reveal party, Kingston?"
- "No, I'm not gonna have
a gender reveal party!"
- "With pink fireworks, m*therf*cker!"
- "I'm sorry!
"I never thought I'd have a
child and here it is, okay?
"I'm sorry.
"I've falling back into my ways.
"You know I'm working on it!"
- Null vanishes in this moment.
(everyone laughs)
- Null's like, "That's a lot."
(everyone laughs)
- All of you gather here
in the antechamber of the hoard
of the Dragon of Bleecker Street.
You see Rowan has the baby and
approaches Kingston flanked
by these three spirits
and the scintillating spirit
of Kugrash behind them.
Cody and Ricky, your weapons still fiery.
Sofia still over Dale's body.
Iga, you have your two children here.
Esther rushes over to Ricky.
Pete, you're still here.
And JJ is filming the whole thing.
You are gathered here.
Kingston, you look down at your baby
who looks up at you,
and though this baby does not
have a internal appreciation
of gender at this moment
because it is in fact a baby,
the child that will grow
into your son is handed
into your arms.
- Yeah, I hold him.
And I guess I,
"Hello?
"Hello?
"Hello?"
- The baby-
- "Is this what you do with a baby?
"I don't know what's happening right now."
- Sofia's horrified
'cause if the baby speaks,
that's terrifying.
- I think there's also,
that's what's going
through Kingston's head is
that at any moment the baby
could like go full dragon.
Like, it's having like flashbacks
to the dragon queen
turning into a big dragon.
He's just kind of holding it,
like honestly like waiting
for the baby to make the first move.
- Go ahead and give me an
insight check, Kingston.
- Insight check on this baby.
That's gonna be,
I got a 29 on an insight
check for this baby.
- This baby is looking up at you
and reaches its hands out and just grabs
with like surprisingly
strong little baby hands,
just grabs at your face,
starts to like, is just
interested in your mouth
and your face.
And on a 29 insight check,
you remember what Kugrash
said was the thing
that the Dragon of Bleecker
Street most regretted,
which was that it didn't live a human life
and so didn't understand the
importance of human people.
And you look at a baby
that should probably
one day understand that it
is a spirit that is healing
and protecting New York
by its very presence.
But that it might not need
to know that for many years
and probably would be a lot
better at doing his magical job
if he knew what it was like
to lead a normal human life.
- Ah, I think with that,
like, going through my head,
I think I just hold the baby.
Oh, man.
"You don't and I don't even know
"what you're going to become,
but for now you're mine.
"Hey, I want you all to
meet Langston Brown."
- Oh!
- And I just start walking
him around and being like,
"All right, so this is your
fairy godmother, Rowan."
(everyone laughs)
- I kiss him because it's part of my job.
It's the best part of my
job is kissing babies.
- "This is your Uncle Dale.
"Who we didn't know if you
were gonna have an uncle Dale
"until today, but you are."
(everyone laughs)
- You all gather together
around adorable Langston.
Triumphant, light gleaming everywhere.
You see as Langston is named, he smiles.
He looks kinda tired.
It's been a big day and he leans his head
and just closes his eyes and is calm here.
And you see as Langston
exhales the hoard glitters.
History appears.
You see the hoard comes to life.
Coins whip everywhere.
The last four drones are
shredded by subway tokens
as you all witness this miracle.
Kingston, you know that
you'll always be able
to find this subway station.
And one day years from now,
it'll probably fall to you
to show it to Langston.
But right now Langston's
just asleep on your shoulder.
- On my,
oh, like this.
- Like a bird.
- Is this how y'all carry a baby?
(everyone laughs)
- I don't know, maybe.
- You look out.
You see the three spirits come over.
Marty goes, "Hey, look
at that f*ck' kid.
"Look at that little dragon."
- "Hey Marty.
"Marty, can you watch your
language just a little bit?
"I mean-"
- "Oh, sh*t.
"Yeah, f*ck, I'm sorry."
- "Wait, do we all have to
watch our f*ck' language?"
- "I mean, hey-"
- "I'm not watching my f*cking language."
- "Oh, sh*t, I'm sorry, Kingston."
- "I'm gonna watch my language."
- "sh*t, I'm sorry, Langston.
"I'm sorry, Kingston."
- You see Perry goes over and goes,
"If ever the child needs anything,
"I'm here reporting for duty.
"I'm glad the city has
a spicy pigeon again."
And the unicorn smiles as well says,
"Happy for all of us to
be able to watch over."
And you see all of them look for a moment
like they could fade back now
that their magic has, like,
returned to hatch this
new dragon into the world.
But they also look up at
Kugrash floating there
for a moment.
And I will leave it up
to Kugrash if you think,
you see these three spirits gathered here,
and the question remains about like,
if these three spirits
should be left here to tend
to the people of New York City.
And if so, who if anyone would
like hold Kugrash's mantle?
But I think Kugrash
you're also here, like,
looking over Langston and
these three spirits as well.
- Yeah, I think first things first,
I think Kugrash the starry shitty rat
I think is gonna just kinda
look over the whole scene
and go, "Congratulations, Kingston.
"It's just about the most
beautiful God damn thing
"I've ever seen, and I've
literally seen everything."
(everyone laughs)
- "Well, thank you for being here.
"I can't imagine doing this without you
"and literally could not
have done this without you."
- "Hey, literally I wouldn't
exist if it weren't for you
"and for everybody here.
"Kingston, what do you think
about the spicy pigeon,
"the juicy c*ck, and the unicorn?
"You think they should stick around or?"
- "Hey, not to keep pimpin'
this decision off to people,
"but I mean, Ricky,
"you feel like you have
the most connection
"to these three beings."
- "Oh gosh."
- "Ricky, I wanted to say,
"I know you don't love the aesthetic of-"
- "I know you're not
loving the aesthetic."
- "I'm sure Kugrash already
knows I was gonna offer this
"'cause he knows everything.
"I'll take over the mantle
"'cause I know it's not your
style, if you want that."
- "Sorry, you would take the mantle?
"Is that what you're saying?"
- "Yeah 'cause I know you weren't.
"at least you didn't overtly
seemed too jazzed about it."
- Ricky's like trying to
decide if that is rude,
but desperately wants that to be true.
(everyone laughs)
- You absolutely can't trick me.
- Sofia reads this and then says,
"Actually, Ricky, you know what?
"It's something I selfishly
have desired for myself.
"When it first happened
to you I felt so covetous.
"It was disgusting feeling.
"Oh, I wish for this mantle.
"Please, Ricky, please!
"I am but a pregnant woman
reduced to desperation."
- Ricky bows.
"If you must.
"Please take it."
- "Yeah, Marty."
I turn to the juicy c*ck.
"You wouldn't happen to be looking
"for a First Fist of the
Order of Rat Jesus would you?"
- "Oh sh*t, yeah!
"Hey Sofia, you wanna be First Fist
"of our f*ck' hot dog cart?"
- "Yeah, yeah.
"As long as Dale doesn't
think less of me."
- Dale looks over and says,
"Sweetheart, why would
I think less of you?"
- "Well, it's gonna be a brutal commute
"'cause I'm gonna have
to go all the way up
"to Grand Central Terminal,
"get turned tiny just to go into work."
- "Gotcha, well that is a shlep for sure."
- "Yeah."
- "They could probably just call on you.
"Everything's very magical.
"You don't have to like go
in every day necessarily."
- You see that, Sofia,
you are surrounded by the
spirit of the unicorn,
the spicy pigeon, and the juicy c*ck.
Unicorn says, "As long as
someone is here to tend
"to the forgotten of New York,
"we will be there at their side."
Perry says, "It's very fitting.
"I know that you and
Kugrash were very close,
"so it feels beautiful honestly."
Marty says, "Yeah also, we
don't know sh*t about karate,
"so if you could just-"
(everyone laughs)
- "I will teach you self defense.
"We'll start with that and
then we can go to offense."
- "Okay, we don't know
f*ck' d*ck about sh*t,
"so that's great."
- I think also Kugrash-
- "I need a boon though.
"I'm gonna need a f*ck'
boon from you, Kugrash.
"Kugrash, I'm a wife
and a soon to be mother,
"I can't smell like sh*t."
(Brennan and Siobhan laugh)
- All right, one last time.
And I would like to give her
very sweet smelling trash bag shoes.
(everyone laughs)
- You get those like pre
Febreezed trash bags.
- "Oh, these are good trash bags, Sof.
"Congratulations."
I also do want to say to Ricky as Kugrash,
I think like just to like him
in his head I wanna be like,
"And thanks for carrying
on my legacy, Ricky.
"I look forward to you continuing it.
"but you don't have to
hang out with a pigeon."
- "Yeah, I just wanted to be-"
- "A c*ck.
"Yeah, yeah."
- "I definitely still want to help.
"I just don't know that-"
- "You don't love the aesthetics.
"You don't love that side of it.
"That's cool."
- "That's true."
- "It's all right."
- The three spirits swirl
around young Langston,
swirl around Sofia as well.
Someone who will not
only protect the people
in the city that need protecting
and help people in the
city that need helping,
but also by attending to those people,
keep the city even more secure
against the encroachment
of beings like Null.
The spirits bless Sofia.
Kugrash vanishes on the wind.
Dale smiles-
- "Can I just, like, mostly
get the smell of the unicorn?"
(everyone laughs)
"I'm really concerned about this."
- The smell of a horse?
- Bath and Body spray.
- Yeah, in addition to the bags, I just,
I spray the unicorn with
like a powerful cologne
to overpower the c*ck
and the spicy pigeon.
- Incredible, beautiful, triumphant.
Iga, your two kids latch onto
you, hugging you so tightly.
Esther comes over to you, Ricky,
and smiles and says, "You
were awesome, sweetheart.
"That was-"
- "I mean, you're having a baby.
"We're having a baby."
- "I wanted to talk to you about it.
"I would like to have a baby.
"And I think that would be
wonderful for our lives."
- "I think that'd be wonderful too."
- "Esther, if you want to go
jewelry shopping with me."
(Emily laughs)
"I don't think he's
gonna get it on his own."
- "Can I ask a question?
"Why do people keep
talking about jewelry?"
(everyone laughs)
- "Like, I say.
"I don't think he's
gonna get it on his own."
- I look at Ricky and I'm like.
- Ricky tries to rip the apple
in half like it's a ring box.
(Zac laughs)
- You rip the apple in half,
there's a beautiful engagement
ring inside the apple.
(everyone laughs)
- I knew it.
- Esther screams.
She says, "Yes, I do!
"I say yes!
"How did you know there
would be a ring in there?"
- "I had a dream."
(everyone laughs)
- I turn to Dale and I
say, "Spit out the apple.
"Spit out the apple."
- He says, "Oh."
And you see, he spits it out,
it's just one of your guys' wedding rings.
And he's like, "How'd
that get in the apple?"
- "I don't know."
- Incredible.
Much merriment is had.
New York is saved.
You guys leave from this place.
As you walk out the hall,
you hear Tammany calls out after you,
"Good luck out there.
"Congrats to everybody."
- I punch him.
(everyone laughs)
- "Ow, that's a real
firecracker of a lady I tell ya.
"I'll be waiting.
"I'll always be waiting.
"Season three!"
(everyone laughs)
- "I'm sorry I have no context for that."
- Like a bird cage.
- I don't understand.
- It's in a cage.
- You guys all walk out,
and we're gonna cut into the epilogue
of our beautiful story here.
Kingston's divine intervention
continues to manifest
through the holidays, into the new year.
Enormous demonstrations happen every day
until eventually it gets to a point
where the public sabotage,
just like neighborhood kids
putting bricks through windows.
The huge public relations disaster.
And it gets to the point
where Gladiator retreats
from the Millennium campus
and does not go forward with plans
to demolish the Queens Center Mall
and abandons it to slink
off into the shadows.
And though that arm of Null is
still out there in the world,
New York is safe and
the good work continues.
Cody, the plans for
the Queens Center Mall,
it is still shut down.
You feel Kingston's divine intervention
as Vox Populi working for the city.
And you with your sort of
infernal sense can feel
it moving the Queens Center Mall away
from going back to being a mall again,
towards something else.
What does Cody do with that?
- I think Cody would like to,
through magical means or otherwise,
try to help bring back Fairyland.
- Cody, you meet again with
Lucifer after the fight.
Lucifer, first of all
removes the Jersey Devil
from your soul.
And says, "This guy's
a f*ck' douchebag."
And flings him back.
- "You're so f*ck' powerful
"you can just flick away devils.
"It's awesome."
- Jersey Devil says,
"Bro, I'm gonna go f*ck
up that Cipher plant
"in the Pine Barrens, dude.
"You're right.
"I f*ck' talked to Bazathrax.
"f*ck' it sucks that there's
that f*ck' plant there.
"I'm gonna get people,
"we're gonna f*ck' roll
squad deep on that sh*t, dude."
- "That's a solid plan.
"That's actually super solid.
"Thank you, Jersey Devil."
- "Yeah, man, Bazathrax
talked me through it.
"You got a good effect on that guy, dude.
"We were doing monster
bong rips in your soul."
(everyone laughs)
- "All right, cool.
"Thanks, Bazathrax."
(everyone laughs)
"Yeah, go ahead.
"Go do it.
"Get the f*ck outta here, dude."
- Yeah, Bazathrax says,
"Yeah, dude, you know, you
rubbed off on me, dude.
"Like, Gladiator is sh*t, dude.
"It's f*ck' sh*t, dude.
"They don't want you and your friends
"to talk about real good
wrestlers or real good music
"and f*ck' do monster bong
rips in the f*ck' rec room."
- "That one's more you,
but yeah, totally."
"That last one is just you, yeah."
- "Yeah, for sure, dude.
"All right, listen, I
could hit up some people
"to come into the city
this weekend if you want.
"I know some real f*cked
up losers who could come in
"and show us a real good time."
(everyone laughs)
"Yeah, I learned my lesson, dude.
"I learned.
"I learned my lesson."
And Cody,
I think Cody goes to some
city council meetings
and some public hearings
with real estate developers
alongside Kingston.
And Cody, I think you meet up on a night,
probably like, you know, like a couple,
maybe like two years
after the events of this.
And we'll move a couple of
years into the future here.
This is some heavy downtime.
The nice thing was Fairyland
took up way less space
than the entire Queens Center Mall
which means that this area is picked for,
has a lot of housing come
back to the neighborhood.
And there's a bunch of housing here.
A lot of which is given
out to people in need.
And Rusty, Ricky's old
friend from Helping Hands,
finds himself living in
one of the apartments here
for the homeless that just
- is given city housing.
He smiles and on the day that
Fairyland is rechristened,
everyone in the neighborhood gets
this beloved old amusement park back.
And you see that,
Rowan, you finally have
established your entryway
into Queens here for your new Fae realm
in this wonderful amusement park
where kids can come and feel
that touch of fairy excitement
and whimsy right around the
corner from their own home.
- "And it's an up and
coming kind of a borough.
"You know, it's got some heat.
"Manhattan is dead.
"Nobody wants to be in Manhattan anymore.
"It's full of bankers and boring people."
- Please don't gentrify it.
(everyone laughs)
- Cody get ready to throw
a Big Gulp at Rowan.
(everyone laughs)
I also think, I think Cody
fully works at Fairyland
'cause he definitely has
the energy of like dude
who runs the rollercoaster and is like,
"You know, I can make it go
fast as f*ck if you want."
(everyone laughs)
- That's so real.
- Cody the Night Angel is
definitely a carny at Fairyland.
100% huge Big Gulps.
And you-
- Everyone you work with
is so goth and sick to you.
That guy rules.
Oh my god, that girl rules.
- I think I also make sure
that my roommate Josh is alive.
I think that's like day one
all of this ends of just like,
"Hey you there?
"LOL."
- You and Josh are great.
- Still good?
Still alive?
- Josh gets saved by the
same divine intervention.
He's actually got involved
in labor organizing
and is now helping warehouse workers
all over the city
unionize their workplace.
Josh moves into Lars and Brita's room.
So now you each also have your own room,
but are still roomies in the Astoria spot.
Incredible.
I love goth carny!
The rollercoaster you operate
is called Hell's Mouth.
And the roller coaster starts by going
into a big devil's open mouth, which is,
I think Rowan would observe the old rule
of Faerie tithing to Hell, right?
The old Fae tradition.
And so there's one hell gate,
and you're the operator for that ride.
- I send people to hell sometimes
just for like real quick.
- Just super quick.
- When anyone throws
up on a roller coaster,
they went to hell.
(everyone laughs)
- I think it's like two years later,
two to three years later.
It is a beautiful day in Central Park.
Kingston, it's a hot summer, baby.
You haven't had it,
not since like 1994 when
you were out walking around
on that hot summer.
It's hot again.
But there's a huge family
barbecue up in Central Park.
People are cooking and laughing
and there's food everywhere.
They're running around.
Big news which was a huge public push
of public restoration
campaign, mass demonstrations,
sort of angry New Yorkers.
They ran out the old mayor,
and the new mayor came in
and ended up saving the
Central Park carousel
which is no longer the
Cipher Energy Fluid Presents
Gladiator Industries
Recreational Rotating Horse area.
That is now the Central
Park carousel again.
The unicorn tapestries got
returned to the Cloisters,
and Ellis Island, the exhibit
is much, much improved.
You all approach this beautiful barbecue,
this beautiful like summer day lunch.
Yeah, it's about two years later.
Who gets to the barbecue first that day?
- I think Kingston gets
there good and early
to start cooking.
- Kingston, you are having
a ball of a time cooking.
Liz is there.
She's got big old sunglasses
on, gives you a kiss.
She's still deep in,
she's moved on from the Don Confetti stuff
and is going hard after
criminal fraud stuff
from Gladiator executives.
But she smiles.
You see, she's got Langston
in her arms who's now talking.
He's verbal.
You see your adorable sweet little son
as he is often fond of doing,
asking you questions
about stories and the city
and is asking you all
about what this place is
and who these people are.
And is just smiling and laughing.
- Yeah.
I think Kingston is just
like cooking up hot dogs.
And being like, "Well you
just gotta remember, you know,
"it was the 70s so-"
(everyone laughs)
"It was kinda like, you know,
"out there kind of doing their own thing."
Like, talking to Langston
like he's like a full adult.
There's no like kid, like,
I'm telling him a full
adult story at all times.
- Langston watches you
with more fascination
as you tell these stories
than he could at all.
He looks up at you after he
takes a moment to run around
and play with some of the
other kids and runs back
and hears you telling other stories.
You see Cosmo's here,
Suzette's here, Tanya's here,
your mom and dad are here,
Claude and his family are here.
And even your cousin Janiece comes
in with the family from Ithaca.
- "Down from Ithaca.
"We finally got you here!"
- She smiles and laughs.
She says, "Well I knew we
weren't gonna get you out there."
And she smiles, laughs.
And Langston runs up for another story.
He's got a huge popsicle.
His whole face is just popsicle
as little three-year-old kids
are want to have sticky hands.
And as you tell another wild story
about something from the past,
he looks up and says,
"Dad, I love it when you
tell me stories about stuff
"that's not here anymore."
- "Hey, well, you know,
"just 'cause it's not here
doesn't mean it wasn't important.
"And you know, 8-track
was, at least for me,
"the best way to listen to music.
"Now I appreciate vinyl,
"but there's just something about 8-track.
"Now if you'll remember
8-track is not cassette."
(Brennan laughs)
- Langston hangs off of every word,
and you feel at this moment
just complete love for your young son.
But know one day,
as Kingston once said about
Jackson back in the 90s,
you feel the power coming
from your young son.
One day this kid is gonna be
a force to be reckoned with.
Who gets to the barbecue next?
- I mean, I'm definitely there.
- Hell yeah.
Does Pete roll up with anybody?
- I mean, it would be awesome
if I was with somebody.
- I think Pete rolls up
to the park with Maddie.
- Incredible.
- Wow, two years going strong.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- Hell yeah.
What do you think Pete's
living situation is
like these days?
Do you think he's still living
in the attic in Astoria?
- Absolutely.
- Hell yes.
- And then I'm on a moped,
like, not far behind.
(everyone laughs)
- We were like, "We're gonna grab coffee.
"We'll meet you there."
But then we just ended up being, like,
on every train together.
- [Brennan] Incredible
- The moped is so slow that
I still rode the whole time.
But got there like a little bit after you.
(everyone laughs)
- Oh my God.
Yeah, Pete, you walk up.
Maddie's got her arm around you.
She's got her thick
sunglasses on, denim shorts.
Hot summer day.
At this point, you all know Maddie.
She's super psyched to be here.
And Pete walks up.
I think Pete,
how's Pete doing two years later?
- Oh, baby.
I think, okay.
I'm not sure where he got the money.
I have a feeling I know
someone who would want
to give him money for this,
but he wants to open a bookstore
and tea shop of his own.
- Hell yes.
- So yeah.
He runs...
Scales Book and Tea Shop.
- Oh, I love that.
You know what?
At the city, again, the rolling from that,
the answering of New York to
the call in its moment of need.
And the fact that Pete
was part of that miracle.
Pete, you get a heavy grant
to open this bookshop.
And I think part of it is,
if Pete's down, is like
an educational grant.
- Exactly, I was totally thinking.
There's an art annex for, like, teens.
And we do, like, mural
projects around the city.
So, I think we're just like
putting up these amazing murals.
And there's definitely a mural that says
"No day shall erase you
from the memory of time."
- You take a bunch of awesome kids
that are in, like, an afterschool program
that you're running
where they're like getting
in touch with themselves
and getting in touch with their dreams,
what they want to make happen
for themselves in their lives.
And they paint this mural that says
"no day shall erase you
from the memory of time."
And put a bunch of awesome stars in it.
And without even having to talk to them,
you see a little
scintillating constellation
almost in the shape of
a rat up in the corner.
(everyone laughs)
Incredible.
Pete, you roll up.
You hear a cry of running up
as a kid latches onto your leg.
"Uncle Pete!"
- "There's my guy!"
I swoop him up.
(everyone laughs)
- Langston is up in your
arms a second later.
This kid's not gonna hit the
ground for a while, baby.
- I do that thing where I'm
like running around really fast,
and it's really fun for the kid,
but I'm immediately exhausted.
And they're like, "Again!"
And you're like, "I can't
do it a second time."
And they're like, "Again!"
And you're like, "I don't know if I can."
(everyone laughs)
- I love that.
- Who gets to the barbecue next?
- I think Iga probably shows
up with like so much food.
Just an overwhelming amount of food.
- "Iga, I told you I was gonna cook."
- "No, I know.
"But you know, it's rude
to come without food."
- "Okay, but you brought like a feast."
- "It's just a few snacks,
what are you talking about?"
There's like eight trays of food.
"A pierogi's a snack.
"Stuffed cabbage is a snack.
"What are you talking about?"
- "Of course I'm thankful for it, but-"
- "A side of beef, it's a snack."
- "Side of beef?"
- "It has been cooking for five days!"
(everyone laughs)
- "Okay."
- You see Nick and Jess both roll up.
Nick's now 16 years old.
Nick is looking like broad shouldered.
He rolls up with a little
bit of umbral arcana
around his back, hiding the
peasant sword on his back.
He's getting a little bit of
like facial hair coming in.
14 year old Jess is there.
You see she very quick
FaceTimes Ana and Amelia
who are in their coffins
'cause it's daylight right now.
But they're both like, "Hey,
are we hanging out tonight?
"So fun.
"That's gonna be awesome.
"Later."
Iga, you're there with Oskar as well.
Start setting up.
Your whole family's here.
What's Iga doing two years later?
- I think she's probably
still reading tarot
but has, like, still like
lightly scamming people.
But really only people that,
like, she's making more
of a concerted effort
to actually help people
through the readings
instead of just using it to scam.
And I think that she's also
has like a storytelling night
at Pete's bookshop.
- Oh, definitely.
There's a whole section about
Poland in this book shop.
- And she just like sits and
tells stories about dragons
and like minor illusions,
pictures of princesses,
and castles, and knights in armor,
and all of these fantastical adventures.
- Oh God, it's beautiful.
I love it.
Who shows up at the barbecue next?
- I feel like Ricky
would show up around now
or maybe the whole family unit.
Ricky, Esther.
- The unit.
- And I think he's got a baby bjorn.
Is that too old, a two year
old in one of those things?
That's not too old.
(Emily laughs)
- I mean, on Ricky?
Yeah.
- It's fine, right?
- Probably want him on
the subway to (laughs)
- I think they have a little,
like, a daughter named Al.
- Oh, I love that.
- After Alejandro.
Just kind of roll out instead of his bat,
he's got like a wiffle ball
bat and a little wiffle ball.
- Settin' up some wiffle ball.
Hell yeah!
- "I mean, I'm just,
we don't have to play."
- "Nick is very good."
- "I'd love to play actually."
- "I'm really bad and uncoordinated,
but I'll do it, yeah."
- "You don't have to be good.
"You don't have to be good."
- "You brought extra ba*ls, right?"
- "I can swing super hard is the thing.
"I can swing super
hard, I just can't hit."
- Ricky has a like (laughs)
Ricky has like a
afterschool, like, you know,
exercise kind of athletics program.
Like, he's mostly stay at home dad
but has like an afterschool
like sport thing called
You Don't Have To Be Good.
(everyone laughs)
Just run around or whatever.
- Oh my God.
- Ricky and just a bunch of kids.
- [Brennan] I love it.
I love it so much.
"You Don't Have To Be Good"
I mean, it's perfect.
Ricky doing a bunch of
athletics with kids.
It's so great.
Ricky, awesome game of
wiffle ball gets started.
So, so good.
Esther smiles, comes over.
She's got Al in her
arms, gives her a kiss.
Comes over to talk to
Kingston over by the barbecue.
Just catches you up on the
society, how everything's going.
They've improved the
umbral engine so much.
They've learned so much more.
Now there's regular expeditions going out
into the Sixth Borough just to give help
to the Sixth Borough and help explore it
and create more open connection
between both sides of the
waking and the dreaming.
And speaking of umbral arcana,
bunch of your magical friends show up.
Willy shows up with Rabbi
Mike to come hang out.
Willy, "Oh, it's so good.
"Look at this.
"Look at this young kid.
"How about this?"
And you see Langston
looks up and sees Willy.
And for a moment sees
past the umbral arcana,
but then goes back to seeing Willy.
- Oh, so Langston sees
Willy as like a person?
- Langston sees Willy as a person.
Yes, absolutely.
You are joined by so
many of your friends here
including friends from this season.
Em the angel of the waters
because the fountain shows up.
Mentioning, "I can't believe I missed
"that whole deal a couple of years ago.
"That was crazy."
- "It's all good, Em.
"A lot of it didn't take
place in Central Park.
"So we've never really had-
- "I know.
"For me it's all about
the fountain kind of.
"You know, it's gotta be
about the fountain for me
"to kind of pay attention."
And I think finally rolling up are Sofie-
- Yeah, I was gonna say
realistically coming
from Staten Island, we show up last.
(everyone laughs)
Yeah, so I think we show up
with like a bunch of boxes
from Spaghetti's Bakery.
(everyone laughs)
- "Make some room on the
table, make some room."
- "Yeah, yeah.
"I mean, you bring the cannolis?
"You know, I love a cannoli."
- "Honestly, every box
is full of cannolis.
"Yeah, so."
And then I think me and
Dale have a little daughter
with us whose name is
Catherine, but we call her Cat.
And I think Sofia's been obviously working
with Kugrash's (laughs) nasty little order
to help protect the little
critters that no one cares about.
I think she's also taken up his
trap neuter release program.
And I think that she's, like,
at least trying to work on the idea
that part of Pete's cafe
area could be a cat cafe
where we could get some cats adopted.
- I'm like, "Yeah, maybe."
And I'm realizing you
smell just a little bit,
but I would never tell you.
- Please say that is not canon.
(everyone laughs)
Look, I f*cking took this
off Ricky's shoulders.
Do not make me smell.
- "I would love to still help by the way."
- I'm like, so how's flute
neuter release going?
(everyone laughs)
- Yeah, I took over Kug's
flute that lures all the cats.
(everyone laughs)
- Incredible.
You guys arrive.
You see Dale rolls up as well here.
You see La Gran Gata moves around Cat.
La Gran Gata loves Cat with all her heart,
is protecting your daughter at every step.
You look up and see all
your friends gathered here.
More and more people, huge, huge party.
Beautiful summer day.
Green trees swaying in
the park, light coming in.
Good food, friends from
every place in the city.
JJ is recording the whole thing.
After the fight at the Bleecker Street,
at the Central Park North
hoard, moving around.
"Hey, so this is recording.
"It's mid July.
"We're having a great
time here at the park."
Smiling and laughing.
You see, f*ck it.
Stephen Sondheim shows up.
- Yeah!
- Someone's like, "Is
that Stephen Sondheim?"
- He's just crushing wiffle ball.
- Stephen Sondheim-
- Can I arm wrestle Stephen Sondheim?
(everyone laughs)
- He grabs it and fully
flips you over in the air.
And then he walks up-
- Oh, to be flipped by Stephen Sondheim.
- Stephen Sondheim walks up to home plate
at the wiffle ball game.
And you see, he calls,
he points to a skyscraper
and says, "Calling it."
- "No way."
(everyone laughs)
- Wiffle ba*ls sails out.
- He's stealing bases.
The kids are crying.
(everyone laughs)
- Cody's running back to try to catch
what is clearly a very distant home run.
"Oh, I gotta get it!
"f*ck, f*ck, f*ck."
- Kingston, you feel a little sort of like
something whispering in
the back of your head
asking you to use a sixth level spell slot
to cast summon celestial spirit.
- I use a six level spell slot
to cast summon celestial spirit.
- So that Alejandro and Maria can show up
to enjoy a barbecue here
in the city together.
Alejandro eats his fill,
talks with Esther about magic.
You see as he's talking to Esther,
and actually talking to
Esther about something
on JJ's screen.
Ricky, you see Al, who's
only two years old,
looks at and sounds out an entire sentence
from a spell book that should be protected
by the umbral arcana.
Just looks at it.
And sounds out the words.
Esther looks over at you
holding Al in her arms and says,
"Did she just read that?"
- "Yeah, she can read."
(everyone laughs)
- "Yeah, that is separately
impressive, Ricky.
"But this is protected by-"
- "She's two, she can read."
(everyone laughs)
"And then the magic stuff is awesome.
"But pretty soon,
"I'm not gonna be able
to teach her anything."
(everyone laughs)
"That's already more.
"That's already more."
- You see she kisses you.
She says, "No, no, no, no.
"This is very special."
Dale marvels at this as well.
Dale current First Fist of the
Order of the Concrete Fist,
Protector of the Monastery
of the Midnight Sun.
Although having instituted
some pretty profound changes
in the order's relationship
to the dreaming world,
Dale has a city job.
He's on a city budget council
to reappropriate the city's funds
for public services like
transportation, housing,
and all this kind of sh*t
to make Gladiator a
distant f*cking memory.
(Ally cheers)
You see there is a moment
of Nick and Jessica,
as these much older now teenagers,
Jessica is doing some small magic tricks
for a little trio of toddlers,
for Langston, Cat, and Al who all look up.
And there's a moment where they all watch
and gasp as Jessica is
just doing magic tricks.
And you see a moment of Langston filling
with primal magic of
stories and myth and legend.
You see a little bit of
celestial radiance around Cat,
and a little bit of
arcane insight from Al.
And then they run off to
go get snacks and popsicles
and run carefree through the meadow
as Nick and Jess both
kind of look at each other
and raise their eyebrows.
Alejandro and Maria
as the evening goes are
gonna go grab dinner
while the spell is still active,
go see Alejandro's granddaughters
who he wants to go see.
And a beautiful day is had in the park
as the sun lowers in the sky.
Is there any last thing that
anyone here wants to say
as these characters enjoy this
perfect golden day together?
- I think Kingston asks to
take a picture of everybody.
Like, asks everyone.
Just like real dad energy.
"Okay, everybody closer!
"Come on, closer!"
- "Can you get one on my tablet?"
(everyone laughs)
- "Is it okay if the
moped is in the picture?

- "Yes!
"Iga, Misiek's blocking you."
- "Ricky, can you help me move the moped?"
- "Stop hiding your face.
"You're beautiful, you're beautiful."
- "Your hair is everywhere."
- "Okay, yeah, great.
"Okay, everybody look at the tablet.
"I'm gonna do the tablet one first.
"All right, three, two-
- "Kingston, put it on timer!
"You need to be in here!"
- "You know what?
"I can run out and do a selfie."
- "Hold on, let me tease Cat's hair."
(everyone laughs)
- "You got the arms for it, right."
- We get one Ricky selfie of everybody,
click, in the frame.
Timer goes off and a beautiful snapshot
of all these New Yorkers
happy and together
in the Unsleeping City is where
we're gonna end our season.
This has been "The
Unsleeping City Season Two."
Tons of love from everyone
here at Dimension 20
to everyone at home.
Thank you so much for watching.
See you next time!
