Hello, one and all!
Welcome back to another thrilling
episode of Dimension 20!
I'm your humble dungeon
master, Brennan Lee Mulligan
with me as always are our intrepid heroes.
Say, hi, intrepid heroes.
- [Players] Hi, intrepid heroes.
- Last we left off, deep within
the oceans of the Never...
A soft little touch.
- She's just like, hi.
- You two came in separate cars, right?
(Siobhan laughs)
- Yeah.
We're fighting. We just made up just then.
- Just hearing Brennan's
voice made me realize that
I want to recommit my marriage.
- We think we're gonna make it now.
- You bought a new car just
so you could drive separately?
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's really insane.
- [Brennan] Something about being
in this dome. - My hands are cold.
- Something about me screaming gibberish
makes people realize what
matters most to them.
(Ally laughing)
- It's you, and I'll never let you go!
(cast laughing)
- Last we left off, our intrepid heroes
were deep within the
oceans of the Neverafter
plumbing the depths of Toy
Island, the old stomping grounds
of the boy of destiny
himself, Master Pinocchio.
- Everything's the same.
- [Brennan] Everything-
- Mostly.
- [Brennan] Mostly!
- The hotdogs are still great.
- Hotdogs are still great,
and we met our old pal, Candlewick.
- No, he clubbed me.
- [Ally] Candlewick.
We put you away. We put you down.
- [Emily] Is Candlewick
on the b*ttlefield?
- [Lou] No, Candlewick,
I sucked him into my book.
- No, he's in the book.
- Oh.
- Yes, yes.
Candlewick is back in your book.
- [Zac] Good.
- Now I'm realizing we shoulda kept him.
You know, it would be weird.
It would have been a weird scene,
but if we had kept Candlewick here.
- If we had kept him,
he'd have clubbed him.
- He would have just clubbed me again.
(Emily laughs)
- We should just...
If push comes to shove, open
up the book, let him out.
- I don't have Second Wind in this fight
because of Candlewick.
- Like a Pokémon ball.
(cast laughing)
f*ck!
- [Murph] And you.
- [Brennan] Perfect.
- He hit me for like 15 HP.
- He wanted some frog meat.
- [Ally] Oh my God.
- He was invisible-
- [Murph] Yeah.
- We met our old pal Candlewick.
We also heard Candlewick
reference the Quiet Pirate,
who we have just now met and is actually
the Princess Mira of the Merfolk Realm,
though she has legs at this
moment, a Little Mermaid.
By the way, once again,
from Rick Perry and crew,
look at this amazing.
(Ally cheers)
- [Emily] Listen, I know we're gonna get
our a*s kicked here.
- [Ally] This is so sick.
- [Emily] But I wanna live here.
- [Ally] Yeah, yeah!
- [Brennan] Even as dilapidated
and f*cked up as it is,
there's something about,
what are the different
buildings we have here?
- [Lou] There's Bart's
Funnel Cake and Cigars.
- [Siobhan] Bart's Funnel Cake and Cigars.
- [Murph] Slappy's
Bubblegum and Whiskey Hut.
- [Siobhan] This one just says "Circus."
- [Emily] Tim will be running
and then just spending the whole thing...
- [Zac] What's this one say?
- [Brennan] That one is-
- [Siobhan] Bart's Funnel Cake and Cigars.
- [Ally] Against the wind.
- [Siobhan] And then this one
says like, Peanut and Pies?
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- [Siobhan] P'nit 'n' Pies?
- [Ally] Peanut 'n' Pies.
- Just all the combinations
of like, really chewy things
with things you have to drink is...
- Yes.
(Ally laughing)
Everybody's already so dehydrated,
and the only water is salty.
- If you had to eat at
one of these places,
which place would you go?
- Funnel Cake.
- Funnel Cake and Cigars.
That actually sounds pretty-
- [Murph] Funnel Cake and Cigars.
- Like a nice morning.
- [Emily] Yeah.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- [Murph] don't have a cigar,
but just smell the cigars.
- I think I would go
Peanut and Pies, I love a pie.
- See, I think it's clear
no one's been here before except for me
'cause you know it's
Bubblegum and Whiskey.
(cast laughing)
- [Ally] The nastiest sounding thing.
- That's where I'd end
the night, for sure.
- Chew, chew, chew.
- [Emily] Yeah.
- And then it opens up
the capillaries and then.
- Oh, I'd definitely end my
night with a cigar. That sounds-
- That's so nasty. Coffee,
a funnel cake and a cigar
and Final Draft Pro.
(Emily laughing)
- Yeah, there's just one
screenwriter on Toy Island.
- There's always one kid who's
always writing a screenplay.
- Just like...
- [Ally] So nasty, yeah.
Smoke a full cigar.
- Hey, I actually,
I actually smashed my MacBook Pro
'cause my hands are turning into hooves.
- Yeah, yeah. (laughs)
- Is there a...
No, no donkey fever yet!
But we met the Little Mermaid
who communicated to you
that her name is Mira,
communicating telepathically.
- [Ally] Oh, right.
- [Brennan] Thanks to
Mother Goose's spells
because she does not appear,
at this moment, to have her voice.
- Yes, and she is chronically in pain.
- [Brennan] You saw,
yes, you were able to-
- Even every step hurts.
- Every step hurts.
But this is, of course,
in the broader context,
you all living in this second life,
this twice upon a time, after
your adventures in death
and also in The Lines Between,
that vast castle of text
where you saw the Canonade,
and Mother Goose glimpsed The Authors.
But you arrived back in this world,
defeated the Baron of Bricks,
and met up with Snow White
in the lands of Snowhold
after freeing the Big Bad Wolf.
So a lot of context and knowledge
has come into this place here,
Snow White telling you that
she had only ever seen visions
of a successful battle against the fairies
if seven princesses were gathered.
You learned that Cinderella was en route
from the other world where
first you had met her
with the Princess Rapunzel,
a princess referred to by
Snow White as the Beast.
And also, the Princess
Elody of Greenleigh,
the Prince Gerard's lady wife!
- But she's not telling anybody that.
- (laughs) She's not telling anybody that.
So you left Snow White and her army
of spectral dwarves to face
down the Tsar of Snowhold
and his champion Koschei the Deathless
and came here based on
reconnaissance and intel
you found in the desk
of the Baron of Bricks.
You came here as fast as you could
to find the Little Mermaid
before her father, the Mer-King,
part of the Council of Kings,
could come and reclaim her.
But thanks to a bit of
handwork that the Mer-King
had gotten from the Sea Witch,
it was Rosamund's presence in the ocean
that alerted him to your presence here,
and it seems you are too late!
The Mer-King has thundered to the surface.
You see the Mer-King here in this place,
and all of you battle now enjoins.
First, as we enter into this new combat
you see the Mer-King bellows out,
Daughter, I have come to claim you!
The lands of the Merfolk will expand!
The coasts be taken and
clawed into the sea!
Return to me at once!
And Red, you are gonna
be the first to act.
- What? (laughs)
Okay, I think I look at Mira.
I just kinda wanna read her vibe,
make sure that this isn't what she wants.
- [Brennan] She looks-
- I give her a...
We love Daddy. We hate Daddy.
We love-
- Love Daddy, hate Daddy!
(cast laughing)
- Love Daddy, hate Daddy.
- [Lou] Okay, hate Daddy.
- Hate Daddy situation, I think.
- [Ally] Love Daddy, we hate Daddy.
We love Daddy, we hate Daddy.
- Love it, we hate Daddy.
- It's always good to check, though.
- We love Daddy. We hate Daddy.
We hate Daddy.
- We hate Daddy.
- I think that...
- We love Daddy.
- I'm looking around.
Well, I'm definitely gonna go into a rage
'cause I was unprepared
and had not done that yet.
And then, I think I'm just gonna...
There's not really...
You know what? I'm just gonna...
What I'm gonna do is,
do I have the movement
to just go into a rage and
just like, come up here
and just prepare an
action to attack anyone
who tries to attack her?
- [Brennan] Hell yeah, absolutely.
- Could I prepare a reaction to try
and grapple anyone who comes for her?
- Yes, you can absolutely
prepare a grapple attack.
- Okay, I think that's my game.
- All right, you jump into a stance,
getting ready to grapple.
- We love Daddy.
(Emily laughing)
- Incredible. Pib, that's gonna be you.
- Okay, what have we got?
Can I just like, make a
perception check like,
what this new squad's deal is?
- [Brennan] Yeah, absolutely.
Give me a perception check.
- And just in terms of
like, what have they got?
They have like, weapons? Do
they look like spellcasters?
- [Lou] A fresh squad.
- I think this is gonna
be another situation
of Red fights everyone
while we try to k*ll Daddy.
- [Emily] Yeah, I guess-
- Yes, I think so.
- That's the question, do you think
I should have used my
full movement to get...
- No, 'cause those guys'll come to us.
- They're gonna come, yeah,
so that's what I figured.
- [Lou] Yeah, they want...
- So you, yeah.
- [Siobhan] This is a
beautiful bottleneck.
- Okay, cool, cool, great.
- 14.
- 14, you see the Mer-King standing there
calling out to his daughter.
He looks very powerfully magical as well.
It doesn't look like he's
just gonna be a warrior.
The merrow that surround him,
these sort of monstrous merfolk here,
they look pretty intense.
So they look more like
scrappers, warriors.
- Okay, I think going around
this side might be good
for some of our longer-range people.
- Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, I'll make a big show-
- Distraction or extraction?
- Although that's a long walk.
- Yeah, that is.
- There's also these boats.
- Yeah.
- We could maybe row across, I-
- I kept laughing looking at the board
picturing on my first turn
just getting in a boat.
(Ally and Siobhan laughing)
- Well, that's what I'm thinking about.
I'm like, there's no way we're good for-
- I'm thinking here of that also.
- There's no way it's better
for us to be in the water.
- When they're like, massive anglerfish.
- [Zac] Kind of close to you, right?
- Yeah, I think on my
turn I'll probably go up
and just go over the bridge.
I think your only concern is that you need
to find a place to hide because if they...
- I don't wanna get AOE'd.
- Yeah.
- Like, get a big old blast of water.
- Yeah, I think it's good for us to, yeah.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Then I'm gonna try to
make a full dash this way
and eventually kind of
be on this side, I think.
- [Brennan] Hell yeah, and
you have that tabaxi power,
but I'm not sure if that's-
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's good. You're right.
- [Brennan] Yeah, you can
clear a ton of distance.
- Where is it?
- ♪ I'm sailing away ♪
- Move on your turn in combat,
you can double your speed
until the end of the turn.
- Copyrighted song.
- You in the...
- He's going the wrong way.
- Well, in my head I was just like,
"Well, what if I just tried
to pretend to be a gondolier?"
(Emily and Siobhan laughing)
- [Brennan] What's your speed?
- My speed is 30, but I can
double it for a turn, so 60.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- And then I could dash,
if I wanted to.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Mister the Mer-King
- So I wanna try
to see how far this
way I can get and like,
be sort of hidden.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
If you wanna just count out 60, go for it.
- Okay, can I see that thing?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, go for it.
- Can I interest you in the gondola ride?
- [Zac] This is 50.
- [Lou] Around the Toy Island?
- [Zac] So 60 is like here.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- [Zac] I wanna get,
yeah, yeah. So... (hums)
Like, here?
- [Brennan] Cool.
- [Zac] All right.
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.
- And then, can I like, bonus action hide
like on this kind of little
boat thing right here?
- [Brennan] Yeah, absolutely!
Go ahead and give me a stealth check.
- ♪ He's hiding in the boat thing ♪
(Lou vocalizing)
(Murph laughing)
- This is c*ck.
- Actually, yeah, this
makes sense for Pib.
- That's also c*ck.
- To be on his back
rowing the canoe hiding, though.
- Yeah, it just, it
looks like it's floating.
- 17.
- [Brennan] 17, hell yeah.
- Okay, I'm gonna be
in the boat over here.
(Emily chuckling)
I don't know.
- Cool, that's your movement.
Bonus action hide, any action?
- Well, if I can get
further up, should I get up?
- You could always prepare a reaction
and just throw a dagger at someone.
- Yeah, maybe I'll prepare a reaction
to throw a dagger right here,
and just, we go up as we go up.
- Hell yeah, awesome.
So you see this one dives off the board.
It's gonna go five,
10, 15, 20, 30, 35.
- [Murph] Whoa, yeah.
- [Siobhan] Yeah.
- [Murph] That adds up.
- So, (shouts and mimics water splashing)
like, leaps out, jumps up here.
This one, same thing, is going to go five,
(water splashing)
10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35.
(Brennan mimics splashing)
(water splashing)
And both leap up right here.
- Hey, get a little closer, please.
I have an action prepared
for you. (laughs)
- This one is going to come
up and take a defensive,
has like a readied action,
defensive position here
next to the Mer-King.
The Mer-King is going to
bellow out to his daughter.
The Mer-King is going to
bellow out to his daughter.
- [Lou] Bellowing?
- [Murph] Uh-oh.
- [Ally] Don't you bellow.
- [Lou] Don't you dare bellow.
- Don't you dare bellow, Daddy.
- Speak to her, no Daddy, no.
- Can we say,
obviously I didn't wanna like,
put my hands over her ears,
but can we say that while I
was raging it was so noisy.
- [Brennan] Sure.
- That she doesn't hear this?
- Cool, and what character ability
are you using to reflect that?
- Uh, being a preteen.
(Siobhan and Ally laughing)
My D&D race is preteen.
- Cool, awesome.
So that will give him disadvantage,
but then I'm gonna make
up an ability that he has
that lets him cancel that, cool?
- [Ally] Oh my God.
- That's f*cked up.
That's what that is, yeah.
- You know what?
- [Siobhan] Wow, metagaming.
- I can't argue it.
- [Siobhan] Brennan is metagaming.
- You can't knock the hustle, right?
You can't knock the hustle.
Okay, well actually, that
was also just their movement.
So actually they're
gonna do an action too.
- [Emily] Oh!
- [Brennan] Five, 10-
- [Murph] Well, he's hiding.
- Here, and then this guy's
gonna scramble up here
and is like, sort of facing
down with you over here.
(Brennan snarls)
The Mer-King bellows out and says,
Daughter, you have debased yourself
with this vile new form!
Come to me at once!
His voice echoes across the waves.
You see Mira fail a wisdom saving throw,
and he is then going to sling
a spell and hit Rosamund,
Pinocchio, Mother Goose, and Gerard.
I'm gonna need constitution
saving throws from all of you.
- Constitution!
- [Zac] And that's to who?
- To the four
that are scattered over
there, that are all clustered.
- [Siobhan] I got a 12.
- Come on!
God, no! Why?
- [Lou] God!
- Seven!
- Six.
- I'm good at this.
I'm a fighter.
- 10.
- Do you have that thing you can add?
- [Siobhan] Wow, I rolled...
- Oh wait, sorry, I did
get a 10. I could, oh!
- I don't know if you want that right now,
but just to throw it out.
- I can see a ton of people, right?
- [Siobhan] Yeah, there's three of us.
- How many people can
I see? So, I did get-
- [Zac] It's just a bunch
of damage, probably.
- [Murph] Yeah.
- [Siobhan] Oh no, the dice.
- Oh, come on! That was
a little overdramatic.
- The d4s are coming out.
The d4s are coming out.
(Emily laughing)
- 13 and 14.
I think I can get a 16 with my pass thing.
Should I use that now?
Or do you guys think a
16 is still gonna fail?
- I feel like you take the first one.
- [Murph] Take the first one?
- [Emily] Yeah.
- [Murph] Okay, good call.
- I think there's gonna be
one where you really are glad.
- I will need to save face
at some point, I'm sure.
- That's a good point-
- Okay, did anyone here
get a 13 or lower?
- All of us.
- [Murph] Yeah.
- All of you?
Oops, that's going to
be 22 piercing damage
to all of you.
- Good lord.
- Aye-yi-yi.
- [Murph] Okay.
- You see the Mer-King says,
Those of the land would do well
to avoid my dominion, the sea itself!
The Council of Kings
banishes you to oblivion!
And you see surging up
from the rotting wood,
just sea vermin like crabs, biting eels,
lampreys, and hagfish
begin to swarm around you,
biting into your flesh and bodies
with a wet, slithering scream.
And that is the Mer-King's turn.
- Do we get the sense these
crabs aren't going anywhere?
Like, they're hanging out?
- They're hanging out.
This is the effect of an Insect Plague.
(Players groan)
- So, it looks like he's
maintaining concentration
on this spell.
- [Siobhan] Okay, so...
- Okay.
- [Siobhan] Maybe we're able to
- [Lou] Boo!
- [Siobhan] f*ck him up a little bit?
- Yeah.
- After that Mira acts.
- I do have a grapple reaction
if she's trying to run towards him.
- She is trying to run towards him.
- May I use my-
- [Brennan] You may use
your reaction to grapple.
- Okay, I look at everyone, I'm like,
I just want to make sure
that this is like, chill
that I'm gonna grapple a nice lady, okay.
- She seems like she's
trying to run to Daddy
that she doesn't like.
- Great, okay.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Mira, I'm operating under
the assumption of "no Daddy",
and I try to grapple her.
- Okay, you're gonna have to beat,
she rolled a 14 on the die
so you're gonna have to beat a 19.
- Damn.
(Emily whistles)
- [Lou] Hmm...
- You got that, right?
- 18.
- Oh, brutal!
- I didn't want it. In my
heart, I didn't want it.
- Does anyone have Bardic?
Do we remember who has what?
- Oh!
- No idea.
- [Emily] Does anyone have Bardic?
- If anyone was going to,
it would be you, I think.
- Yeah.
- I don't believe so...
- That would be a question.
- Oh! One off?
- Brutal.
- Brutal.
Ylfa, you go for Mira.
Mira is very slight,
like, slender shoulders.
You kind of think like,
she's an easy takedown.
And some insane dancers
legs she just, boom.
You're like, wow, that's a lot of power
from the hips and lower back!
- I think in my heart,
also, I'm still just like,
(sighs) I really wish I could be friends
with this cool, older woman!
(Ally, Brennan, and Siobhan laughing)
- Mira is going to go
five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
And then you sort of turn
to get here to this corner.
- Man, that would have
been so sick to stop that.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Gerard, that is going to be your turn.
- Okay.
- [Lou] Be a hero, Gerard.
- Wait, I did beat it!
I did beat it!
- Wait, how?
- I used acrobatics not athletics
so I matched it, I got a 19.
What does that mean? That means that...
What does that mean?
(cast laughing with realization)
- Roll-off?
- I will say that-
- Roll-off!
- [Ally And Murph] Roll-off!
- Let's do a roll-off.
Yeah, let's actually
just reroll your thing
and we'll call it.
- Okay.
- sh*t.
- You gotta beat a 15.
- I just crit.
(players cheering)
- [Brennan] (laughs) Great, cool.
- [Ally] Yes!
- Okay.
- Nice.
- [Ally] Yes!
- You managed to grab Mira
as she's about to depart.
Wrap your arms around
her waist, stop her there
in between you and this
merrow that you are facing.
That is now going to
be Gerard, that's you.
- [Murph] Oh, everyone's in trouble.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- [Murph] (chuckles) Pib is...
- I'm in a little boat over here.
- Yeah.
- I was hoping to clear this way.
- Okay.
- I think we gotta divvy up the angles.
- Gotta divvy up the angles.
- We've got to divvy up the angles.
Okay, I guess I'm going to...
So we got Mira up here.
I don't think Red's gonna be able
to do this by herself 'cause
Mira's trying to get away.
- [Zac] Yeah, do what you need to do.
- Okay, I'm going to...
How much, 'cause I can jump,
so this ladder isn't
really gonna affect me.
That'll just be like
five feet of movement so-
- If you wanna get up in
the mix with that guy,
I think you will-
- I can just get up
in the mix with like...
- Yeah.
- Okay, great. I'll
get up in the mix here.
And then I guess I'll
just take some attacks?
- Hell yeah.
- [Emily] Yeah.
- What else can I do? Yeah,
okay, I'll take some attacks.
So I'll take first swing.
(die taps table)
Why?
- That's so unfair.
(Lou and Ally laughing)
That's so unfair. You're
like, so good, so smart.
- I've watched you roll two fours.
- Thank you.
- Everything you do is so
great and the dice hate you.
- [Ally] And the dice...
- I got a 12.
- [Brennan] You got a 12.
- That's awesome.
- It's awesome.
- I do have two attacks now.
Then the question is, so I can yell out
and do my thing to you,
but then you're going to
show yourself to this guy,
- I'm uh-
- Which you probably don't wanna do.
Do we wanna save it?
- I go before him so I
would get two attacks on him
before he got an attack on me.
- So you can run? Great.
Then I will use the
Commander's Strike bonus action
to yell to Pib.
- [Brennan] Awesome.
- There's a giant fish guy
walking towards you, Pib.
- Hey, (chuckles) tell me
something I don't know.
(cast laughing)
- Who, who are you?
- You just get really Brooklyn.
- [Zac] What's it about?
- Hey.
- I'll tell you where to get
the best slice in your life
and it'll make...
(cast laughing)
Look, Pib, I'm hidden
so do I get sneak attack on this as well?
- Yes, absolutely.
- Okay, so I roll with advantage.
- That's the combo.
- Yes, sorry, and how?
Question for you, Zac, is,
are you attacking with a
throwing knife from hiding?
- [Zac] Yes.
- Okay, so here is the issue.
What's the range on your daggers?
- It's this guy, right?
- Yeah, it is that guy.
- [Zac] 20/60.
- 20/60.
Okay, yeah, that guy is
just within short range.
So yes, you can attack.
- Okay, cool.
So, rolling with
advantage to see if I hit.
That should hopefully hit.
What do I add to that?
20?
- 20 is gonna hit.
Go ahead and roll damage.
- And then add a d8 to it
for the superiority die.
- Okay, so I got 2d6, a d4, and a d8.
- Combo.
- [Ally] Hell yeah.
- [Lou] Hot, hot, hot.
- Okay.
That is gonna be 17 damage.
- 17 damage. You pop up.
(mimics knife slicing air)
(wheezes) And this hissing
fish monster screams at you.
Injured but not looking
undone by that single hit.
- Help!
(cast laughing)
I'm sorry!
- (laughs) I'm sorry!
- Sorry. (laughs)
- I'm so sorry.
- (laughs) Gerard, anything else from you?
- Nope.
- Okay.
At the end of your turn, Gerard.
- [Lou] No, mm-mm.
- [Ally] What?
- Oh!
- [Murph] Oh no.
- [Emily] Okay.
- [Murph] Oh no!
- [Siobhan] I knew there was more coming.
- [Emily] Yeah.
- [Murph] Oh no!
- [Lou] He's got five new friends.
- [Zac] Is it one big thing?
- [Ally] What?
- [Siobhan] Oh no!
- [Brennan] The water boils.
- Boils?
- [Brennan] You see it's
like, frothing and churning,
surrounding the dais upon
which the Mer-King is standing.
(Brennan mimics water crashing)
As the water begins to churn and rise.
- [Emily] Ah.
- That is going to be Mother Goose.
- Okay, I am going to...
(dramatic music)
Hop in this boat, okay?
(cast laughing)
- [Murph] Just leave.
- [Lou] ♪ When the moon hits your eye ♪
- So I'm gonna run over here.
(Lou chuckling)
And oh, before I do I'm gonna
throw a Bless at these three.
- Oh!
- Oh, thank you.
- [Brennan] Amazing.
- Wow!
- And can I throw Bless and
Bardic in the same turn?
Bardic is a bonus action.
- [Brennan] Yeah, bonus
action, absolutely.
- Okay, then I'm gonna, I
guess I'll throw you a Bardic.
- Aw, shucks.
- As I run past you.
- Wow.
- And no, no.
I'll circle back, I'll circle back.
- What did I tell you
about his storytelling?
Timothy is amazing.
- But yeah, I'm gonna just run that way
and get ready to rumble. (laughs)
- As you are throwing
out all of these like,
Bless and Bardic, what
is that looking like
as Mother Goose is like-
- Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm like, I run and I'm
like, you guys got it!
I like, yell up to up here with you guys.
And then as I pass you I
go, I'm so f*cking scared!
And my honesty gives you a
little bit of a bigger boost.
- We need to be brave for Timothy.
We need to be brave for Timothy!
(players laughing)
- Help!
- [Brennan] Unbelievable. Okay, amazing.
- I'm coming for you, kitty!
- Okay, so we got Bless
on the three on this side
of the table, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- [Brennan] Okay, cool, cool, cool.
- And I go, no, Daddy.
- No, Daddy!
- [Lou] No, Daddy.
- (laughs) No, Daddy.
- Rosamund, you are going to act next.
- [Siobhan] Great, I am
going to bonus action
cast Zephyr Strike on myself.
- [Ally] Ooh.
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.
- [Siobhan] Which means
that I don't provoke opportunity attacks.
- [Emily] Sick.
- And I can do one attack with advantage
so I'm gonna move to here.
And then I really want to
break this concentration
'cause I cannot get another hit.
So I'm gonna use this, my first advantage,
on Sea King over here.
And that's a 29 to hit.
- Ooh, ooh!
- Ooh, that will absolutely do it.
- And then a second attack.
Ugh, is a 16 to hit?
- 16 hits!
- Oh sh*t!
- Great, okay, so that is...
- [Murph] Shirtless.
- Yeah.
- He wanted to show off that
body. Shoulda worn some armor.
- He worked hard, though.
- He did work hard.
- [Ally] He worked hard.
- He looks good.
- [Emily] He did work hard.
- Gotta respect his abs.
- I wonder what his
morning routine is like.
- What do you eat?
- What do you eat? What do you drink?
- So much fish, so much fish.
- Electrolytes? (laughs)
- He's into omega-3s or sixes.
- [Lou] So much lean protein.
- [Zac] A lot of kelp.
- And then plus a d6.
- Oh, yeah.
- From my little birdies.
- Oh.
- Can I say the birds pick
up some of these creatures
from me and like, throw them?
- [Brennan] Yes, absolutely.
- Yes.
- At him?
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- Chirp, chirp.
- Ooh, and I'm gonna reroll this two with-
- Hey!
- Great.
So that is eight plus 12.
23 plus 10 damage, 33 damage.
- [Murph] Nice!
- Yes!
- And then because I have an
extra 30 feet of movement,
I am going to...
- You wanna hop this? I don't know, do it.
- Yeah, I'm thinking...
- We got it, we got it.
- I feel like if we go this
way, we might be able to like...
- Yeah, I actually think
I might get up here
so I can have advantage from height
'cause these guys are in between me.
- [Lou] Pib, don't worry.
We got it, bro, we got it.
(Ally laughs)
- Hell yeah.
Look at that sick, swashbuckling fight
on that big, old bridge, that's awesome.
- [Emily] Although that might just make us
a thing for area of effect.
That might make us a target-
- [Siobhan] Oh, you're right.
- [Emily] For area of effect.
- [Siobhan] Then maybe
I'll move over to here
so I have cover.
- [Murph] Oh, that's great.
- Oh cool, awesome.
All right, you whoosh, swoosh over there.
Hell yes, Rosamund.
- Can he make that concentration
check on these insects?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah, over one hit, 33?
- 33, no it was...
- Yeah, what was the first?
Yeah, both. They're two hits.
- It would have been 20 on
one and 13 on the other.
- Cool. Okay, so they're both 10.
(tense music)
(die taps table)
Makes the first con save.
(die taps table)
Makes the second con save.
- Ah!
- Boo!
- And is that, like, the Insect Plague,
like on them specifically
or the squares they were standing on?
- It's on the squares.
- [Zac] Okay.
- It's on the squares.
- Oh, sweet, sweet.
- Oh good, so we're good.
- So yes, because you have all moved,
it would trigger again
on the end of your turn,
but everybody who's been in
it has gotten out of the-
- Oh, okay, great.
- Oh!
- Right, so as soon as you leave the area,
the swarming things have sort of stopped.
- [Ally] Oh, I thought I was just covered.
Okay, cool, cool, that's very-
- [Siobhan] Yes, okay, that-
- Yeah, you push them off of you
and get the hell out of there.
- I think, Timothy, you
should still be covered.
- I think maybe some of
the crabs have held on.
- You have a lot of
biting injuries, my guy.
- [Emily] But they're
not doing damage anymore.
- It's like that scene
in "The Life Aquatic"
where it's like, "No one
else got leeches, what's up?
It's just me?" Yeah, like...
(players laughing)
Okay.
- So days from now you're
finding little crabs.
- Jesus, this screeching eel.
(eel screeches discordantly)
- [Zac] When you blessed
me, you threw like-
- That's what that noise was in my ear?
- Yeah
- You threw like a little fish on my head.
- Ah! Sorry, I thought you'd want it.
- Incredible, okay, anything else from you
before the end of your turn?
- Yeah, I just wanna do a perception check
on whatever the f*ck is happening
in the water over here.
- Give me your perception check.
- [Ally] Ooh, great.
- That's a 25.
- You look at the water
surging all around the Mer-King
in a perfect circle,
mighty king of the deeps.
You look at him,
stern beard and mustache,
looking at the water in a
state of utter confusion.
Emerging from the water, you
do see one thing, though,
that is not frothing waves.
There is a strand moving
from the water of pure light
directly to Pinocchio's chest.
Pinocchio, before your turn starts-
- Oh, what a thrill.
- You hear it
as you meet eyes with Sleeping Beauty,
(seabirds calling distantly)
that taut strand of destiny
that you felt in your book
on your way to this place.
And you hear, reverberating,
the pages of your book.
(mimics pages flipping) covered as you are
by the vermin of the deep that are,
you now realize, fleeing.
- Oh.
- Oh!
- The Terrible Dogfish is here.
- Oh no.
- Oh!
- Oh my goodness!
- [Siobhan] Oh my God!
- This looks fun!
(Brennan laughs)
I feel like I'm at the
aquarium. Monterey Bay.
- Shout-out, Monterey Bay.
- You all hear, as wind
whips over the waves,
emanating from Pinocchio's book,
(deep growl) Il Terribile Pescecane.
(intense dramatic music)
(Emily gasps)
- [Lou] Oh no!
- [Emily] Terrible.
- [Ally] What?
- [Siobhan] Oh, boy.
- [Emily] A terrible fish.
- [Ally] Oh my God!
(Emily screaming)
- [Siobhan] What the f*ck?
- [Brennan] The Terrible Dogfish appears!
- [Emily and Siobhan] Oh my God.
- [Lou] Wow.
Absolute unit!
- This is so sick.
Can I put my hand in?
- Oh my!
- Can we each take a hand as
we're just putting a hand in.
- [Brennan] Yeah, just put
a little hand in the mouth.
(Ally shouts)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, its bite-
- Chomp! (claps hands)
(cast laughing)
(Zac screams)
- [Brennan] So, Pinocchio, you watch
as a monster from your story
erupts out into the world here.
As it does so, we're
gonna add some more water
surging in all directions.
- [Siobhan] Well, I'm glad
I didn't get in a boat.
I almost did.
- [Ally] Oh my God.
- [Emily] The boats
were there to tempt us.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- If she had gotten...
I guess she maybe would have been safe
if you didn't stop her-
- [Siobhan] Probably a
dexterity check at least.
- Oh God, yeah, you're right.
- Wow, these waves are so sick.
- God, what a beautiful....
- [Siobhan] It's amazing.
- [Emily] This is so awesome.
- [Siobhan] These
barnacles, f*cking crazy.
- [Ally] This is wild, yeah.
- [Zac] What the hell do we do now?
- [Emily] Also, just the
wetness of these waves.
I just can't stop touching it.
- [Lou] I mean, Rick, I tell you.
- [Murph] Oh my God.
Oh my God, what?
- [Lou] The wetness.
- [Ally] There's like worms
coming out of the bottom.
- [Zac] Good boy.
- [Emily] Yeah, does anyone
else kind of feel like,
can we be friends with this?
- [Siobhan] I mean, I'm
into making friends with it.
- [Lou] I guess I can Command it.
- [Siobhan] But also like,
things can survive in its stomach, right?
Like, 'cause you survived in its stomach.
- [Lou] Of course, I
lived there a long time.
- [Siobhan] Yeah.
- [Lou] Well, not that long.
- [Brennan] So...
- [Ally] Oh my God, the Mer-King!
- Just cast Suggestion and
make him close his mouth.
(Siobhan laughing)
- [Lou] You got it.
- So, the whole dais
dock that was here, boom!
Explodes upwards as this monstrosity
thunders into the space here.
The Mer-King, (screams)
and is swallowed and eaten immediately.
- [Ally] What?
- Can I see what Mira thinks about this?
- She is voicelessly,
silently screaming in terror.
- Okay, but I mean is it like,
oh my God, I lost my dad?
- The emotional core of
her brain is shut off.
- Okay, okay. (laughs)
- As this, there is no love true enough
- As this, there is no love true enough
in any story to be more
important than this showing up.
- The daddy-meter is
just spinning right now.
- [Brennan] Yeah. (laughs)
- Just daddy-meter spinning.
- Yeah, daddy-meter is spinning.
It's literally like, my one true love.
Oh, the biggest fish in the
world is here to eat me.
It's sort of like, what's that quote?
Like, "You can't be in love
if you have a toothache."
You know that quote?
- That is... (laughs)
That better not be-
- I get it, though.
- What? Murph! (laughs)
- [Ally] That is really...
- I get the quote, I don't relate to it.
- Emily did just get a
bunch of fillings done
and she texted me like,
"I'm feeling really weird
things about Murph right now."
- Now we know why they were fighting
at the beginning of the episode.
- Yeah, yeah, why you
came in separate Ubers.
- There you go.
(cast laughing)
Okay, the Il Terribile Pescecane,
the Terrible Dogfish appears.
Pinocchio, it is your turn.
- Great.
(Emily laughing)
I think Pinocchio's at a real low point.
One of the two adult
figures he spends time with
told him he's terrified,
and that was before the Dogfish showed up.
(players laughing)
I think in this moment,
Pinocchio does want to
do a perception check.
Is there any, or maybe
it's a history check.
Is there anything I remember
that's either in Bart's Funnel
Cake and Cigars or Circus?
Like, any of these stands that I'm like,
could help us in this moment?
- Give me a history check.
- All right.
(die taps table)
That's a natural 20.
- Nice!
(Ally cheering)
- Okay!
So first of all, we have to say,
Pinocchio now has a new warlock subclass.
- [Lou] Yeah.
- Is this his patron?
- This is my patron, yes.
- Really?
- Yeah. No, I wish.
- Wow, you keep on picking
worse and worse patrons.
- I wish. (laughs)
- Big fish, dude, big fish.
- A strand of destiny
connects you to this fish.
The power of your magic to
wield destiny, as fairies do,
which is in some ways the
ability to wield canon itself,
to wield the idea of what our
stories are supposed to be.
You have a connection
to this entity in that,
there aren't versions of your story
where something like this doesn't appear.
It always has to be like this.
And that connection can be
used for either good or ill.
It can either doom you or save you.
But you feel a connection to this thing.
On a nat 20 history check I'm
gonna tell you straight up,
you escaped this thing once
in a version of the Neverafter
where this was significantly less scary.
All these spears and harpoons
and anchors and things,
this thing has destroyed countless ships.
It just ate the King of the Ocean.
You don't know if it
would be as survivable
to live within this thing as it was
in other versions of your story
before the times of shadow.
What you do know is the trick
you used to get out of it
might work again, right?
Which is that this thing in
your, at least in the version
of the Neverafter that
you come from, had asthma.
And anything that creates smoke or fire
has a potential to release
things that are swallowed by it.
Now, that's a way to get it to let go
of things that it's swallowed.
In terms of defeating it,
you know, weak points.
What weak points, let
me look at this thing.
The weakest points that you can see on it
are its very small eyes.
I'll tell you right now,
I'm gonna honor this nat 20
and just tell you the
actual mechanics of this.
What Pinocchio would know in the world
is that you need to go
for the eyes, right?
If you can get both eyes this thing-
- Yeah, they're so tiny.
- They're so tiny.
If you can get both eyes,
this thing is probably going to retreat.
However, I will give you the
game mechanics for that type
'cause called shots aren't
really a thing in 5e.
For our purpose, the
way this thing will run
with called shots is, if
you can somehow get...
You know that, Pinocchio
would know in world
that piercing damage is
what it's gonna take.
Some type of, you have to
pierce its eyes, right?
If a creature would be able
to roll with advantage against this thing,
it can instead elect to
roll with disadvantage.
it can instead elect to
roll with disadvantage.
If that disadvantaged attack
hits and deals piercing damage,
If that disadvantaged attack
hits and deals piercing damage,
(snaps fingers) one of the eyes goes.
- Oh my God.
- [Murph] Oh.
- [Brennan] You see what I'm saying?
- Oh!
- [Murph] Cool.
- Wow, this is so tricky.
- The trial and error
that we would have had to go through.
- Right, that nat 20 saved you
rounds of figuring that out.
- This also is kinda sick
because it tickles the gambler in me.
- Oh yes.
- [Emily] Oh, I can roll.
- You gotta tickle the gambler.
- [Ally] This season is all
about tickling the gambler.
- I will also say that
scoring a nat 20 against this
with piercing damage, I
would also honor that.
So a piercing nat 20 would also
get rid of one of the eyes.
- Okay, great.
- Cool, great.
- Does it seem like it's
just sitting there or, like?
- No, it is, boom! And is about to...
- [Emily] And it's gonna go back down.
- It's sort of like, towering up
and is about to smash
back down into the ocean.
- Okay.
- [Lou] Great, cool.
- Okay.
- What do these guys look
like they're gonna do?
Are they like, oh, team
attack this guy now?
- Where are their daddy-meters at?
(Emily laughing)
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Are they gonna go for Daddy or are they?
- Everyone give me an insight
and I'll give you any,
I'll give you a daddy-meter of one of them
on a 15 or higher.
(Emily laughing)
- Now I roll a 15 on the daddy-meter.
- I didn't get it.
- Okay, Gerard.
The one right in front
of you is mostly worried
about fighting all of you.
- [Murph] Okay.
- And it's facing a whole
bridge full of enemies.
It's like, (snarls) and it
hears (mimics waves crashing)
and it hasn't looked behind it yet,
but all the fight's gone out of it.
So it's sort of like... (gasps)
- Yeah, we don't have to.
We don't have to do this.
(Brennan laughing)
- Join us.
Join us, your king is
dead. I'll be your queen.
- [Brennan] Did anyone
else get a 15 or higher?
- No.
- [Zac] No.
- [Brennan] No? Okay, great.
- No, I wanted a daddy-meter.
- You wanted a daddy-meter reading?
- I'll use a luck point.
(Siobhan laughing)
- Okay, so Pinocchio, it's your
turn. What are you gonna do?
- Okay, great, I think Pinocchio
has this moment of terror
that leads to these revelations.
And is gonna go, ah! Pib, Rosamund!
And just at the top of
his lungs be screaming.
It has asthma! So if you wanna...
It has asthma!
So if you hide, you could
light a fire inside of it!
The other thing is the eyes!
- Okay, God!
- Okay.
- So I scream all of that.
(Emily laughing at Pinocchio's screaming)
- Aren't you a warlock?
Can't you do this in
our head or something?
- No!
- Okay, okay!
- Ay-yi-yi, it's loud.
- Absolutely piercing.
(cast laughing)
- Yeah, yeah.
- On a nat 20, there's
another nother thing!
With the eyes! With the eyes!
- Oh.
- You have to hit him in the eyes!
- [Murph] You need to hit the eyes.
- The sound person just quit.
(players laughing)
- So you'll notice that I can't speak,
and you're not hearing these words.
So I scream all of that information out.
- Oh, and the Insect
Plague, gone, by the way.
Insect Plague fully gone.
- [Ally] Yes!
- Great.
I kick a few of the fishes off my feet,
then I'm gonna go-
- Weird eels.
- Meet up with team distraction.
(players laughing)
- [Murph] Oh, it's just so arbitrary.
- [Lou] 25, 25, 30.
- Are you distraction or?
- I think we're-
- Extraction?
- Sorry, I was screaming earlier.
I think we're distraction
because they have the princess.
- Oh, right, right, okay great.
- So got it, and then, so we don't know
that on the daddy-meter if the
fight has gone out of them.
- Well, this one, we don't
know her daddy-meter.
- [Lou] Yes.
- Do we have any way to buff up attacks?
I think is the way to go.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Any way we can help people.
- We got sneak attack.
- [Murph] Any way we can
do anything like that.
- I can help on-
- I can give the help action.
- When you make attacks, I can help.
- He needs to get way closer, too.
- I have a way to take
out this eye over here
if somebody can give me the help action.
- Well, what about your Zephyr thing?
Do you still have advantage
or that's just on one?
- [Emily] Oh, doesn't
the advantage end it?
- That's only on one
and I already used it.
- Oh, got it.
- But I have another way
to do it, but I would need somebody
to give me the help action on that turn.
- I can give you the help on your turn.
- Great.
- Yeah, great.
- Yeah, I don't know how
this guy's doing. I feel-
- Yeah, you could do
another insight daddy-meter.
- 'Cause these guys might
do piercing damage too.
- Yeah, can I do one
more insight daddy-meter
to see if this guy...
- [Brennan] Yeah.
Give me just a little...
- Daddy-meter.
This guy up here is sad about Daddy.
- That's a nat one.
(Emily and Siobhan laughing)
- You know, you're looking...
Like, I think that Pinocchio is very quick
to participate in the bit
and you look at a freaky,
red snapper monster and
are like, I got nothing.
Just like a face that is truly just
a snarling, fanged fish head.
Not easy to read.
- Two Eldritch Blasts coming at you.
(cast laughing)
(tense music)
Okay... (hums softly)
(dice tap table)
A nat 20 and an 18.
(Ally gasps and claps)
- Yes, yes sir.
- [Brennan] Hell yes!
- This is an opportunity
for instant k*ll, right?
- [Lou] Oh, yeah.
- Oh, a nat 20.
Yes, absolutely.
- [Emily] Yeah!
- We're going back to our...
- Well, I couldn't read your daddy-meter,
so now I'm just gonna ice you.
- [Brennan] Well, okay, so roll damage
for the critical first.
- [Lou] Okay.
(dice tap table)
15.
- [Murph] Nice.
- 15, hell yes. Okay, 15 on the critical.
Go ahead and roll damage
for the other one as well.
- It's a one.
- Just one damage?
- Do you add anything to...
- Don't you add
any Agonizing Blast stuff?
- Oh, that's right, I add my CHA.
- [Brennan] And you add
it to the other one, too.
- It's been a long time.
- [Murph] Excuse me?
- I add CHA.
- [Murph] Your CHA?
- CHA, I love adding some CHA.
- CHA, CHA tea.
- CHA!
So, the first one it was 15 plus four, 19.
The second one is five.
- Okay, gotcha.
You launch two blasts of
these glowing strings.
(Brennan mimics strings
blasting and screams)
This thing is, like a big
chunk of its skull tears away.
It is mauled beyond imagining,
but still on two feet.
- God, was it marinaded in
anything? Teriyaki or...
(Brennan laughs)
Lemon butter?
- As you blast this dude's
face off I'm yelling,
it seems like they've been demoralized!
I think they're going to run, oh!
- On a four or lower it dies instantly.
- [Murph] Well, that's a four right there.
- [Siobhan] That's a four right there.
- [Emily] That's a four.
- [Brennan] That's an 11.
- [Ally] Oh, that dice was close.
- Well, that's an 11 right there.
- And me and Cricket will split up.
I think Cricket will go...
I'll go this way and I'll tell Cricket
to stay with Rosamund.
- Oh, amazing.
- You can go ahead and
move Cricket over to...
- Is this guy-
- [Brennan] Yes, that little green thing.
- [Zac] Pops off?
- [Brennan] Over to Rosamund.
- [Lou] Yeah, he's got 60
fly, so he'll just dash and...
- [Brennan] Cool.
- [Siobhan] Great.
- [Lou] He'll hang out.
(player whistles)
- [Brennan] Incredible.
- What is the range on the help action?
- Has to be next to unless,
Pib can do it at 30 feet.
- [Siobhan] Okay.
- Right.
- I'm a little out of your range.
- [Brennan] Any bonus
actions for Pinocchio
or you're all good?
- No, I think that'll
do it. That'll do it.
That'll do it just fine.
We had a big turn, you know?
- [Emily] That'll do it on me.
- [Murph] Big turn.
- Big turn.
- [Brennan] Amazing, okay.
- We had delicious dinner for all of us.
(Siobhan laughing)
- [Siobhan] Oh no! Oh boy.
- [Murph] He can't move.
- [Emily] Oh, I wanted to jump on him.
- So, whoosh! All of this continues.
You see that the Terrible
Dogfish, boom, splashes back in.
This is covered by water for the moment.
Waves sh**t out more under
here. This one shoots this way.
Gonna roll a save for that boat.
That's a natural three, boat capsizes.
(Brennan mimics waves crashing)
- [Lou] Hey, the boats were-
- No!
- Drop to your knees. (fake-screams)
- And Red, that's gonna be your turn.
- That's my turn.
Okay, what's this guy in front of us?
We did a daddy check, but he's distracted.
He still wants to fight, though.
- Daddy check. (laughs)
- It looks like he might still be,
you see he whips around
to see the fish is gone.
- Just, a tie! It's a tie.
- Let's just all hold our actions
to attack the fish.
- Ylfa, it's a...
- I almost want to hold
an action to try and like,
whenever he comes I want to jump on him.
- Jump on the Dogfish?
- Well, that's what I was gonna ask you.
So like, what are the
mechanics for going underwater?
How many rounds can I survive underwater?
- You can survive holding
your breath underwater
if you would like to, for sure.
You can also ready actions for
anything else that happens.
- I guess I'm thinking like,
if I were to jump directly onto his eye
and then follow him down underwater.
I have good CON, so isn't CON the water?
- [Brennan] How you hold your breath?
- How you hold your breath.
- Yes, it is. That's correct.
- So that's hypothetically a thing
that I can not worry about.
- [Brennan] Yes, that's correct.
- Mira, how are you feeling?
You're not being made to feel.
Yeah, no, no, I know
that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like, I mean...
This is, we just need
to get you out of here.
- Mira is no longer
compelled by any magic.
The father who had come to
reclaim her has just be eaten.
Well, so, I think that when
you say, "Get out of here."
- [Emily] Mm-hmm.
- I think that it would
occur to you that you are on,
you know, Toy Island is
a floating wooden rig.
- [Emily] Mm-hmm.
- It's hard for you to think
of a place you could get to.
- Yeah, we just gotta k*ll this dude.
- So we have to?
So it's basically like,
this guy's gonna keep
attacking us, so our-
- We can consider that
right now we're all here.
If this dude's gonna pop up like,
right under us.
- He's gonna get all of us.
- So, I think it's maybe
not a bad idea to split up.
- Well, one thing I want to do is,
can I take out a matchbook
and just make a little fire
for myself just to have?
- [Brennan] Sure.
- Okay, so I do that.
- Just a single little
match. Good thinking, Ylfa!
- I thought, if I could go back in time
I was gonna use my bonus action to use...
I can't create bonfire.
- [Murph] A little match.
- But I'm gonna create twigs for everyone.
- Yeah, so I think I want
to just make a little fire
'cause I do have Control Flames,
and if I get stuck in there...
And then yeah, I think
maybe the move is to...
Well, I wanna get between her and him.
So I think, I gotta
make sure that this guy
doesn't start coming after her,
is the thing I'm worried about.
- Can you push him off the bridge?
- I think these guys are done, right?
- I think these guys are....
- Okay, then can I just prepare an action?
I'm gonna turn into a brown bear.
I mean, sorry, I'm gonna turn
into, go into alpha wolf mode.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- And I just wanna get ready
to just, I wanna like, look
at the water and see where.
And see if I see a shadow so
I can move to that direction
so that I can try and jump
onto its eye and attack it.
- Okay, sick.
So, you are going to ready an action
to jump onto the Terrible
Dogfish if it is within range.
So you are readying a movement action.
- Or no, what I wanna do is I wanna look
and see if there's a shadow
in the water right now
'cause presumably this thing
makes some kind of shadow
or some kind of like, see
if I can get any sense
of its direction so that I can start
to move in that direction
and then also prepare
an action to jump on.
- We had a moment of like-
- Those things appearing, too.
- [Zac] Waves, yeah.
So we even will be able to
know where it's showing up.
- Can I hold my hold turn until those?
- If you wanna change your initiative
and delay your action, go for it.
- So you guys don't think I need
to attack this guy in front of us?
- I mean, he might
attack us. I don't know.
He just seems like,
maybe not as big a deal.
- [Lou] You can take one, right?
- Go k*ll him. It seems
like you want to k*ll him.
- No, no, no. No, no,
no, I wanna be helpful.
- Either way is helpful.
- I wanna be helpful!
- It's just...
- Okay.
- I think I'm just gonna
go into alpha wolf mode
and just step back so that
we're not an easy target
and hold my action to just jump on.
- Okay, you step back here?
- [Emily] Yeah, yeah.
- Okay, okay.
- I think I wanna, yeah.
I want to step back. This guy was huge.
I think I wanna use my whole movement
to kind of go back right here.
- Back there, cool. Sick, love it.
- And then hopefully be able to jump on.
- So you turn, you go brown
bear, jump back there.
Pib, that is going to be your turn.
- I wanna get this far this way as I can.
- I can do that for you if you wanna swap.
- You want to carry me, or?
- I could, yeah.
- Okay, so I could either
hold my action or hold my turn
or go down to later
action with Mother Goose.
I think I'll just, I won't move this turn
and hold my action to attack.
- [Brennan] Okay, okay.
- Pierce an eye if I see one,
but I do eventually wanna be over here,
I think, if possible.
- [Ally] Cool, okay, great.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- And yeah.
- So you're going to ready an action
to attack its eye if possible?
- [Zac] Yeah, yes.
- Okay, cool.
- And it would be helpful
if I don't move this turn so
I can double move next turn.
- [Ally] Okay, cool.
- [Brennan] Copy that.
These all go away, thank you so much.
- [Lou] Oh, let's see here.
- Okay.
- Who's he coming for?
- f*ck.
- Where's he gonna be?
- Okay, let me see something here...
- [Emily] Yeah, I was hoping
that might be a tasty place.
Remember, I do have a lit match.
- [Lou] There we go.
(players chuckling)
- [Ally] On the sea.
(Emily laughing)
- [Murph] Oh no.
- [Emily] Okay, okay.
- [Murph] Oh boy, that's bad for Rosamund.
- [Emily] So I didn't
move far enough away.
- It's all good, I have movement.
I think I will move before it pops up.
- You know what, I kinda wanna be here.
- Yeah, I don't mind.
- Do you still wanna be over there?
- [Siobhan] I'm happy
being this close to it.
- Yeah, this side of it is probably-
- Yeah, you're good. We
need somebody on that side.
- Yeah.
- [Ally] Cool.
Okay, that's at the end of Pib's turn.
Now the merrow are going to
go. So this guy over here...
- Oh, there's another guy?
- Do we roll more daddy checks?
- Hey! Just, it's off.
- It's cool!
- Yeah, is it this or this?
- Hey, hey dude! We're done.
- Is it Daddy, good Daddy?
Is it bad, Daddy's bad?
- Do you see the bubbles?
That's kind of the thing now.
- [Lou] Yeah.
- Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- Seems like there's a whole new thing.
- There's just a whole new thing.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
(laughs) You see that
merrow is gonna take off
and is gonna really have to hoof it.
(players laughing)
He's gonna go...
- [Siobhan] Or you could help us!
- [Brennan] 15, 20, 25-
- [Emily] Do you do piercing damage?
- [Brennan] 45, I'm gonna
roll in front of the board
to see if he can make
that little corner jump.
11, he makes it.
- [Lou] It's weird to watch
a fish walk instead of swim.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Yeah, you see this
like, big, awesome dive
totally eludes him as he just like 2-D...
(panting)
(sound of flippers slapping)
Just watching him run fully
horizontal to all of you.
- I've never seen a fish sweat.
- He's coming towards us?
- He just looks scared. He's just running.
He's just... (pants heavily)
- He doesn't wanna be
in the water, either.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- [Brennan] This guy
is going to charge Pib.
- Son of a b*tch. Can I attack
him with my held reaction?
- I think you said technically
you were waiting for an eye, correct?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- You can attack his other eye.
- Man, we called it off!
- Read the room!
- That guy specifically was aggravated.
- Oh, okay, so he...
Oh, well, he's a fish,
Murph. I couldn't, Murph.
- Does he have disadvantage
'cause half of his face fell off?
- Give me a constitution
saving throw, Zac.
- Okay.
- [Ally] You have Bless.
- I'm sorry, I wouldn't have
left you to get attacked.
- [Lou] Oh, you have Bless.
- It just, it seemed like everyone...
- Oh no.
- Ooh, boy.
- Shouldn't have made the fish mad.
(Emily laughs)
- I think they were already mad.
- I think I only got... (sighs)
Yeah, I'm not gonna use
an ability. I got a five.
- You don't want to use that ability?
- I might have something. I might.
- I will, yeah, I guess I'll use it.
I only think I can add...
It's within 30 feet.
- Oh, I've moved, though. I
wonder if I'm within 30 feet.
- Yeah, she's within 30 feet, I think
'cause you can see her, yeah.
- One, two, three.
Okay, so that's....
I add three to that, so eight.
- [Brennan] Good.
- What about Silvery Barbs?
- Oh, do you want to cast Silvery Barbs?
- [Ally] Yes.
- Okay, in response to what you're seeing?
- Yes.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- So, you must reroll the d20.
Oh no, no, sorry. I'm
gonna use the other one.
You must reroll the d20
and it's like advantage.
- Okay, and you're gonna give advantage
to someone else you can see.
Yeah, you give this roll disadvantage.
- And then I give Zac's roll advantage.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- Great.
- You no longer need to make the CON save.
You were about to instantly die.
- Whoa!
- [Brennan] The merrow hit a nat 20.
- [Emily] Crit on you, oh!
- [Brennan] Crit on you.
- My God!
- Timothy!
- Still hits on the first attack
and then on the second
attack hits as well,
but neither of these is gonna be a crit.
How many hit points
does Pib have right now?
- 29.
- [Siobhan] (sighs) Oh boy.
- [Brennan] 29, okay.
- Should have f*cking smoked this as*h*le.
- You take 12 points of damage.
- On which, on the first one?
- [Brennan] On the first attack.
- Okay.
- So you're now down to...
- 17.
- 17.
- 17 and then eight so neither of those
gets rid of half your hit
points, so that's good.
- I will, could I Uncanny
Dodge the first one?
- [Brennan] Yeah, sure thing.
- Okay.
So that would be six and then eight.
- Six and then eight.
Two attacks (screams) from
that merrow as it rushes up.
The other merrow is going
to make two grapple attempts against-
- See, oh! I shouldn't have left.
- [Brennan] Against-
- I knew they were still a threat.
- Gerard's got it, don't worry.
(Emily laughs)
- This is what I'm here for,
to do the little dumb things.
- Thank you, Timothy!
- He's gonna grapple Mira. I'm
gonna roll Mira's two first.
Like her resistances to this.
Each of these is plus 5.
(die taps Box of Doom)
(eerie music)
That's a 10 on the first one.
And a seven on the next one.
- Total?
- So you think they could beat that?
- Total. (laughs) I
think it's very likely.
- [Lou] Wait, what'd
you get the first time?
- [Ally] 10.
- It's like, crazy 'cause
I was just grappling her.
- The first one was a 10.
(die taps Box of Doom)
Yeah, merrow successfully
grapples on the first hit.
And then, he's actually
just gonna take a swing
against Gerard and miss,
but is going to grab Mira
and dive over the side.
(mimics water splashing)
And swims to about here.
- [Zac] We shoulda k*lled these guys.
- [Ally] God damn it!
- [Emily] Oh my God!
- [Murph] Hey guys, my bad.
- I just wanna say for the
record, I didn't leave, I left.
I thought we should fight them.
- No, it's fully my fault.
- [Ally] God damn it.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- So this one isn't just hoofing it?
(cast laughing)
This one isn't just comically
jogging on the pier.
It's coming to beat our a*s.
(Brennan laughing)
I'm gonna beat your a*s.
- (laughs) There's a thing
about the phrase "beat your a*s"
and a fish coming to beat our a*s.
- Gerard, it's going to be your turn.
- All right, Rosamund, change of plans.
- Yep.
- I f*cked up.
These guys are still a problem.
I'm going to, I guess, run
and just jump on this dude.
- [Ally] Oh my God!
- Yeah, I think so, right?
- [Lou] You're a fish.
- I can just jump.
- You're the one.
- I think I'm gonna come
with Gerard after this.
- [Ally] A frog is a fish?
- You're the one.
- I'm the one.
- [Siobhan] How do you do in salt water?
- You're the one, dude.
- Yeah, do I have, with my
movement, can I get to this guy?
'Cause I can jump, so I can
just use my movement to just-
- [Brennan] Yeah, what's your
movement? Your movement's...?
- 30.
- Let's see.
Let's do a straight line here.
He's a little bit more than 30 feet away.
He's got a speed of 40.
- Since I held an action
to jump, can I jump to him?
- You specifically stated
that the Terrible Dogfish
was your goal.
- Okay, cool.
- So Gerard, it's a little
bit outside of your movement.
- But you could get close and swim.
Are you a strong swimmer or is that also?
- Oh, you know what I can do?
I will dash and then Action Surge.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- Yeah!
- [Ally] Nice.
- [Lou] Classic Gerard move.
- [Murph] Classic.
- [Ally] Classic.
- [Brennan] Cool, boom.
All right, do you have
a swim speed, Gerard?
- [Murph] You know, I
don't have it written down.
- [Emily] I bet you do.
- [Siobhan] A frog's gotta
have a swim speed, right?
- Frog's gotta have a damn...
- 90 miles per hour.
- I bet it's 30.
- [Brennan] Well, no
'cause Murph mechanically is a hobgoblin.
- Oh, you're a hobgoblin, oh.
- [Siobhan] Oh.
- So you do not have a swim speed
so you're gonna make this with
disadvantage, these attacks.
- Can I try to grapple him?
- [Brennan] Mm-hm.
- Great.
- Grapple the grappled?
- Grapple the grappled.
- Who's grappled now?
- [Siobhan] Grapples the grappled.
- Are they underwater right there?
- I feel bad. That should be me.
- He is not fully
submerged, it looks like.
It looks like the merrow
is keeping to the surface
because he is aware
that the Little Mermaid
cannot breathe water in her current form.
- Okay.
- Oh!
- So I'm gonna grapple, or try to grapple.
- They're gonna try and reverse this form.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- [Murph] Please, please.
- What do they have to do, kiss her?
- Ew.
- Okay.
- [Lou] Sorry, I don't know.
- Does Bless add to grapple?
- Grapple, it's an attack.
- Yeah, what is...
- It's actually an ability check,
so I don't think Bless-
- Just ability checks, okay.
- So what's your first athletics?
- 19.
- [Brennan] 19.
This merrow's gonna roll
to try to avoid that.
- [Lou] We have to change you.
- [Ally] (laughs) No!
- You successfully grapple.
- Yes!
(players clap and cheer)
- Can we do this-
- All right!
Got him in a full nelson. Cut it out!
I thought we were done!
- [Brennan] Go ahead
and give me another DC 20 athletics check.
- Oh boy.
- Oh.
- For what?
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
(Murph squeals weakly)
(die taps table)
- f*cking Two.
(Emily groans)
- [Brennan] Two.
- Or, I mean, nine.
- Cool, you jump, grab him, grapple,
and you really grapple him.
And you realize it is because
you are wearing heavy armor
in the ocean.
- Oh!
- So stuff.
- So, you got him,
and he is also saving your life right now.
- Cool, well...
- [Siobhan] Oh my God.
- Gerard, I think you and
I need to switch spots.
- So you got him. You
have another attack left.
- (grunts) I can do Pib,
but if I lose this...
- (grunts) I can do Pib,
but if I lose this...
But this guy's gonna f*cking
drag me to the ocean anyway.
Or I guess he's-
- [Lou] He can't drown.
- He's just trying to run away with her.
- Do you have movement?
- I will yell to Pib
and be like, I've got this, maybe.
- Get him to-
- k*ll the red guy.
- Absolutely.
- And I'll do the
Commander's Strike to Pib.
- I look to the red snapper
in front of me and say,
I can't believe you betrayed my trust.
(cast laughing)
- Yeah, you guys really
need to cut it out.
- Can you make him feel
really guilty, actually?
- I can't, oh so, this is not sneak attack
'cause he's just hitting me, right?
And just...
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- Uh...
(epic music)
Plus Bless.
Does a 15 hit?
- Yes, 15 hits.
- Yeah!
- You add a d8 as well.
- Okay.
So d4 plus...
Plus five, plus a d8, okay. Sorry.
(epic music continues)
That's 15 damage.
- 15, dead.
- [Ally] Yes!
(players cheering)
(knife slices)
- [Brennan] Hell-
- Was there any like,
rosemary with the lemon butter, or?
(Emily and Siobhan laughing)
- [Brennan] Bam.
- Wrap him in tinfoil.
- [Brennan] All right, Gerard,
that's all from you, right?
- Yeah.
- Now, Red has a readied action, but-
- [Emily] Yeah.
- [Zac] I do as well.
- You have a readied action as well.
But what I'm still going to
need is a dexterity saving throw
from Rosamund, Cricket, and Ylfa.
- [Siobhan] f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!
- Okay, dexterity.
So, this is something I can see
so I do it with advantage, right?
- [Brennan] Yes.
- And then this is a saving throw,
so I have Bless, right?
Bless works here?
- [Brennan] Yes, Bless.
- I got a 14.
- 14, okay.
- I rolled a three, but
my DEX is very good.
- Wow.
- And does that Zephyr
thing help you out here?
- I don't think it does
'cause opportunity attacks
is what Zephyr...
- I got a 23.
- Nice.
- [Ally] Nice.
- [Brennan] 23, okay.
- Come on, Sprinkle.
- Come on, Sprinkle.
(die taps table)
- Okay, what did Cricket get on the die?
- [Lou] 15 on the die and
then whatever he adds to DEX.
- [Siobhan] So it's probably plus 10.
- [Brennan] Yeah, probably.
- I think I'm...
- Yeah, it's fine.
- I should be there.
- Yeah, I was wrong.
- No, no, no, I'm not
saying that you were wrong.
I'm saying, I'm wondering
if I should even grab onto this guy now.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- My plan was to...
- I mean, at this point
I'm honestly just worried
about Gerard surviving.
- Yeah, that's a rough death.
- [Ally] We'll get him.
- You can't breathe underwater?
- I don't have like, cool frog stats.
I was just turned into a frog.
- This is also the second time
I believe Murph has jumped into the water
with heavy armor on.
- I know, I'm so worried about this.
- Except for this time,
he doesn't have a fun,
cool way to get out.
Or no, can you jump off of him?
- We still can. We still can.
- Yeah, I think that's
gotta be the play, right?
- Yeah like, use his body as a board.
- This freaking Dogfish.
- Where is that?
- Dogfish come at you fast.
This is much speedier than I...
- Who has the golden bridle?
- [Lou] I don't.
- [Siobhan] I don't.
(Ally gasps)
- [Lou] Look at these tiny eyes.
- [Zac] Can I move this? Yeah.
- [Ally] She's freaking giant.
Oh, my God, her eye is so small.
- [Brennan] Oh, hold on
one, don't move that.
- [Emily] They're so small!
- [Ally] She looks stoned and
also kind of like, nonplussed.
- [Lou] It's like it's a-
- [Zac] The like, little arm.
- [Brennan] Okay, there we go.
- [Lou] ♪ The Terrible Dogfish, whoa ♪
It's got a theme song that
plays every time he comes up.
(Siobhan vocalizing)
♪ The Terrible Dogfish ♪
(Siobhan Vocalizing)
♪ He's terrible ♪
♪ And he's a fish ♪
- Okay.
(dice rattling)
14.
24, 32...
- [Ally] Where did our friends go?
- 32.
- Presumably I should
be hanging on the eye.
- [Brennan] 54.
- Yeah, actually I think
I'm right next to the
eye, is what happened.
I think that you're right next to one eye
and I'm right next to the other.
- We're really far away from the teeth,
right next to the eye.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Siobhan, do you have that
card for the Golden Bridle?
- No, I just have Cloak of Stars.
- [Emily] I haven't had any of the items.
- Rosamund.
- [Siobhan] Yeah.
- You take 55 points of damage.
- [Murph] Jesus Christ!
- I'm fully dead.
- [Brennan] Fully dead?
- I think, yeah.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- 17 plus 39.
Oh no, I have....
I'm not fully dead.
- [Murph] Good.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Wait, but I have to roll
to see if I'm fully dead.
- [Brennan] Yes, I believe so.
- [Ally] Can Sprinkle help?
- What's happening?
- [Emily] No, I thought it was just-
- Everything happened so fast. Wait, what?
- 55 points of damage is more
than twice my current
hit points, which is 17.
- But it's not twice your current.
It's your current plus your max.
- [Ally] Plus your total.
- Yeah.
- Yes, but...
- [Brennan] Yes.
- You did that much damage...
- In a single hit.
If you take your half remaining
hit points in a single hit,
it's a CON save DC
equals 10 or half damage,
whichever is higher or you
take a level of exhaustion.
So that's the threat now so...
- Oh, okay.
Well, I take a level of exhaustion,
and I'm so close to death.
- Cricket is k*lled instantly.
- But you're still alive.
- I mean, I can be brought back.
- [Emily] You can be brought back, okay.
- So you're dead, but...
- [Murph] You're knocked out.
- I'm down, I'm down.
- [Brennan] You're down,
but you are swallowed instantly.
All of you watch Rosamund disappear
down the gullet of the Terrible Dogfish.
- [Ally] Oh!
- [Brennan] Whoosh, thump.
- [Emily] Everyone has
Goodberries, by the way.
Everyone has Goodberries.
- I just want to say,
as Rosamund disappears
into the gullet of the Terrible Dogfish,
just setting tone and
expectation, this is very bad.
- Yeah, I know, I know, I know, yeah.
- Yeah, Rosamund is inside the...
- [Brennan] Inside the Dogfish.
- So I guess, I had prepared an action
for this moment.
- [Brennan] Yes, you had.
- And I rolled really
well on my DEX check.
Does this mean that I can,
'cause also the way he came up,
can I just jump onto the
eye, do a little attack,
and then dive in after Rosamund?
(Brennan sighs thoughtfully)
(stirring epic music)
- I will, I'm going to say, no.
- [Emily] Okay.
- It's not that short a journey.
I will allow you to fail your saving throw
if you would like to go in after Rosamund.
- I mean, I don't know why I wouldn't.
I have my match stick.
- [Brennan] You have your match.
- I have my Goodberry. I think
I put my goggles on. (laughs)
- I have my Goodberry. I think
I put my goggles on. (laughs)
Plug my nose and pencil dive
in after my hero, Rosamund.
- [Ally] Oh my God! Oh my God!
(Emily laughing)
- Incredible.
You are going to take that 55
points of damage halved to 27.
You are going to take that 55
points of damage halved to 27.
- Okay.
- [Ally] Are you still up?
- Yeah, I'm still a bear.
- [Ally] Okay.
- And so both of you see
Little Red Riding Hood
and Sleeping Beauty are swallowed alive.
- Um...
- Boom! (mimics water splashing)
Pib...
- Had my reaction held.
- But you also took
your turn and attacked.
- No, that was...
- Oh, that was a Commander's Strike.
- [Zac] Yeah.
- Does that make you use your reaction?
- No, bonus action.
- Does it make the person
use their reaction?
- Commander's Strike, you can forgo...
To direct an ally that you can see or hear
strike using its reaction, yes.
- Both of you are inside of the Dogfish.
- A held action is a reaction?
- Yes. Held action you
use your reaction, yep.
That's the end of Gerard's turn.
Mother Goose, that is going to be you.
- Okay, I am going to run, grab Pib.
- I don't have my action right now.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Grab Pib. So I'm gonna go this route.
Five, 10, 20, right here.
I'm gonna give Pib the help action
so that you have advantage on
the next thing that you do.
- I currently have advantage
from your Silvery Barbs
if you wanna give it to somebody else.
- Oh, you didn't use that on something?
- [Zac] Right, I didn't reroll that.
- Does it have to be in the same moment
that they use their
advantage in Silvery Barbs?
- The next roll.
- [Lou] So it would have
been on that attack?
- [Brennan] It would
have been on that attack.
- Okay.
- So, I'll give you advantage.
I'll just give you the help action,
and then what is my jump?
- [Brennan] Your jump?
What's your strength?
- [Ally] My strength is 11.
- [Murph] What, Timothy?
- Strength is 11.
- Em?
(Ally chuckling)
- [Brennan] How tall are you?
- Really tall, I think. I'm
like, f*cking like 6'7".
I'm like a towering, gangly baby.
- You're 6'7"?
- I'm probably 6'7".
- Yeah, your long jump is 10 feet.
- And so I can reach my good friend?
- [Brennan] Yeah, you can
reach your good friend.
- Okay, I obviously leave you here, Pib,
and I say, I've got your back, chop chop.
And I jump, chop city.
And then I jump and onto your back
and I bonus action Misty Step
up there holding the frog.
- Can Misty Step take someone with you?
- [Ally] I don't know.
- I don't believe it can.
- [Murph] No.
- [Ally] Oh, really?
- It cannot, no.
- Yeah.
(cast laughing)
- Do I just...
Do I just punch you further
under the water and disappear?
Is that real? Okay, wait,
then I change my whole action.
I change my whole action.
(players laughing)
- [Brennan] All good, all good.
- [Ally] All right, all right,
all right. Oh, God damn it.
- If you have any like,
Bardic or anything?
- [Lou] Change your whole action!
- [Ally] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- That would be super helpful
in case this stupid-
- Okay.
No, I do the same thing.
I'm sorry, I'm being cuckoo.
I don't give you the help
action, but I do carry you.
Where do you wanna go?
- [Zac] That's...
- [Ally] That's good?
- [Zac] Yeah.
- [Ally] A little further this way?
- [Zac] Further down would
be great, but I don't know.
- I put you there, and
then they're f*cking,
well, I can't jump that far.
But anyway, I jump and then instead
of giving you the help
action, I cast Jump on you.
- [Murph] I have Jump already.
- God damn it. Okay, okay.
Wait, I don't do any of
that. All right, so sorry.
Freaky Friday! I grab.
I run my full 30 feet.
I probably get here.
Pib, I give you the help action.
I cast Expeditious Retreat
on myself as a bonus action.
- [Emily] Oh, great.
- That's my turn.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- And to you,
I give you Bardic Inspiration.
(players laughing)
- You can't give Bardic
and cast extraneous-
- [Brennan] Expeditious Retreat.
You gotta to pick one or the other.
- I like extraneous retreat.
- [Brennan] Bardic is a bonus action,
and Expeditious is a bonus action.
- Oh, okay, yeah. Then I
just give you Bardic, yeah.
- Sorry.
- No, that's okay.
- At the end of Mother Goose's turn.
- At the end of Mother Goose's turn.
- [Ally] Suh.
- [Brennan] At the end
of Mother Goose's turn.
- Mother Goose gets two turns.
- Yeah, I get three
different. I get a remix.
- [Siobhan] When Tim leveled up last time.
- [Emily] Going underwater.
- [Ally] Oh my God.
- [Siobhan] Crash.
- [Emily] Who is in the belly with us?
- Just the king and maybe other people.
- It's not like a sort
of fun cartoon down here.
It's not like, ooh, a
little hut with a lantern.
It is massive, wet muscles
crushing you to eat you.
It is massive, wet muscles
crushing you to eat you.
- But isn't there also wood in
here? Because all that wood.
- Oh tons, yeah, so you're
like, dodging spars of wood
that are getting ground up by teeth
that are flying towards you.
- Like this.
- [Emily] I know, like...
- Don't go out, don't
go out, don't go out.
- [Brennan] This wave is gonna
hit you. I'm gonna need a...
- You're gonna make me roll, dude.
- [Brennan] I'm just gonna-
- Don't make me roll!
- I'm gonna need an athletics
check from you. DC 15.
- I'm supposed to be good at that.
(Siobhan laughing)
- It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine.
Great, 19.
- It's fine, it's fine.
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.
- Okay, great, it's fine,
it's fine, it's fine.
- It's fine. This is fine.
I've got these little
guys. They're turtles.
- [Ally] Oh.
- Not frogs, but turtles and stuff.
- [Ally] Cute.
- Rosamund.
- [Siobhan] Yes.
- I'm gonna need a death
saving throw from you.
- That's a 14.
- [Murph] Okay.
- You succeed and you
also get two failures
from acid damage.
(Murph groans painfully)
At the start of your turn.
- [Murph] Not good.
- [Ally] Dead!
- I'm glad I came.
- Yeah, jeez. You gotta still burn her.
- Every time I have a cool thing planned,
Brennan just kills me.
- I'll tell you what,
when you see the little
white guys, you gotta hustle.
- I didn't have a turn!
- Oh my God.
- Between the little white guys coming,
I didn't have a turn!
- You roll an initiative
in the end of the last episode
and you're never more mad at past you.
- Yes, truly.
- Yeah.
- If I could find myself
rolling that dice,
I'd kick the sh*t outta him.
- Truly, truly.
- Literally the thing
comes up and goes down
before I have a turn.
- Yeah, yeah.
- So it's like, you have to plan.
- That's why you gotta hold the actions.
- Exactly.
- This whole thing is gonna get busted up.
- Okay, Rosamund, successful save.
That is going to be Pinocchio.
- Okay, a thought Pinocchio had.
There is a tether between
me and the Dogfish.
- [Brennan] Yes.
- Can I watch that tether
move underneath the water?
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Can I tell where the
Dogfish may pop up next
based on said tether?
- I think I can't attack anything
until the Dogfish comes up.
- Why?
- You think you, oh...
- 'Cause it's just, that f*cked me.
- So you're saying, but
you can attack the Dogfish.
You're not saying you can't-
- I'm just like, I don't know
if I should attack these
fish people at all 'cause-
- [Ally] Oh yeah, 'cause
you need it for the Dogfish.
- I think, 'cause you do piercing, right?
Yeah, we need you on the...
- So we need you to take care of running.
- (chuckles) Running guy?
- I can do piercing,
but I feel like the most important person
to do piercing is also Rosamund so...
- [Lou] Yeah.
- Daggers and arrows.
- [Emily] Daggers and arrows.
- Are what we got. And a sword.
- Yeah, no, sword's slashing.
- Sword's slashing, yeah.
- So I think he's gonna come up
around Gerard and Mira right now
or that's where the
tether seems to be moving?
- [Brennan] Mm-hm.
- Gerard!
- Yes?
(players laughing and wincing)
- Gerard, you gotta get outta the water!
- [Murph] Okay, I'd love to!
- I am awoken from the dead
inside the belly of this whale.
- You gotta get outta the water, Gerard!
- Are you hearing this guy?
We need to get out of here.
We can settle this up there.
(Brennan hissing maliciously)
Let's wrestle on the docks.
- Does anybody have the
card for the Golden Bridle?
- [Ally] What?
- The card for the Golden Bridle.
- [Siobhan] Yeah, does
anybody have the card
for the Golden Bridle?
- I should have it
'cause nobody took it from me.
- [Emily] I don't think I've had any.
- I think it's in Tim's big stack.
- Card for the...
- I think it's in your big stack.
- It's not, it's not.
- Tim's big stack is really...
Have you looked?
- No, I would have seen it.
- [Brennan] Looked for
what, looked for what,
looked for what?
- [Murph] We had the item,
the Golden Bridle.
- Golden bridle.
- [Murph] And we've never used it.
- Oh, the Golden Bridle.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- If I go down, take the
Cloak of Stars from me
because that has a magic
arrow as part of it,
and it's a fifth-level magic arrow.
- Ooh.
- You mean Magic m*ssile?
- Yes. (chuckles)
- Okay.
I mean, honey, you're not going down.
- Yes, and if I do....
(Emily laughing)
- [Lou] Sorry I accused you of having it.
- You watched me go
through this fat stack.
- I watched you go
through that whole stack.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Okay, Pinocchio is gonna...
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Okay, Pinocchio is gonna...
That's so dumb.
- I think you should jump
on top of Gerard's head
and do something.
(cast laughing)
- No one jump on my head.
- [Lou] Oh, let's see.
- I hope we leave that whole
sequence in, baby. (laughs)
- 15, 20, 25.
- I will say that I
don't have a swim speed,
but I can breathe underwater.
That is the Crown of the Frog Prince
so if you wanna k*ll this guy.
- 20, 25...
- [Emily] You can keep sinking but not-
- [Murph] I can just
sink and I'll be fine.
- You can just walk very
slowly back to shore.
- [Zac] We'll throw an anchor to you.
- Okay, I think I'm gonna...
I mean, you can get the
measuring stick out,
but I think I'm good on this.
I'm gonna go five, 10, 15,
20, 25, jump into the water.
I'm gonna go five, 10, 15,
20, 25, jump into the water.
Just as I'm about to hit the
water, Misty Step to this dock.
- [Murph] Whoa, that's sick.
- [Brennan] Hell yeah, dope.
- Dope.
- [Lou] So we'll do... (hums)
- Wow!
- And then, I'm gonna hit
our jogging fish over here.
- (laughs) Hell yeah.
- I'm gonna hit our jogging
fish. Go for him twice.
- [Brennan] Go for it.
- You got this.
- First one is a...
(mystical instrumental music)
Is an 18 to hit.
- 18 hits.
- Great, second one.
(die taps table)
Is a 12 to hit.
I'm gonna use the Bardic.
- Hell yeah, it's an eight now.
- Oh, it's an eight now. Hot
stuff, baby, this evening.
(Murph laughs)
That makes it a 15.
- [Brennan] Both hit.
(Ally whistles appreciatively)
- Hot stuff, baby, tonight.
- That was a song we had
to sing at Cold Stone.
(players laughing)
And it was hot fudge.
- Yes!
- Gotta have some fudging.
Gotta have some fudge tonight.
That's gonna be...
- I think that's a slur.
I think that's just straight
up a slur in England.
- I gotta get some hot fudge.
- That's gonna be 15 points
of damage total.
- 15 points of damage total. Hell yes.
- Times six.
(Brennan laughs)
Because of how much we're getting wrecked.
(cast laughing)
- 15 points total. Bam, bam! (shrieks)
Screaming fish, weird angler
bulb on the front of its head.
Stumbles as it continues
to run down the docks.
That's action and bonus
action from Pinocchio.
Make a perception check for me.
- Oy vey.
(die taps table)
(tense music)
- I think it's 19.
- Ooh, that's high.
- It's 19.
- Brennan, that's high.
- It's really high.
- [Brennan] 19.
- That's really perceptive.
- Almost makes you wanna
just unload all the secrets.
- [Brennan] A boat appears
headed through the wreckage.
- [Siobhan] Who the f*ck is this?
- [Lou] Who the f*ck is this? They got...
One arm's a claw.
- [Brennan] There is a woman
who appears to be speeding
a boat through the water
with the power of magic itself.
Sort of an old, like, painted witch woman.
- [Emily] Yeah, I was
gonna say, Sea Witch?
- [Brennan] Sea Witch.
- [Emily] Ooh, baby!
- Who comes through and she goes like,
Mira, daughter of the deep,
get yourself out of there!
You're surrounded. The
Dogfish has come to k*ll...
Oh, I'm late. I'm too late.
And begins to rush through.
You see that she has a
ballista mounted on the side.
- I saw that, what?
- [Brennan] A ballista mounted
on the side of her boat.
- So that's gonna pierce.
- [Brennan] She appears
at the end of this round.
- Pierce Brosnan.
- [Lou] Misty Stepped onto that boat.
(Emily laughs)
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Tim, I'm worried about you.
- [Ally] Or there's kind of
that bridge that runner's on.
- Yeah, that guy looks tasty.
- That guy looks yummy, yummy, yummy.
- Yes.
- Ooh, yeah.
- I think you have the string
and you're kind of pulling it
like a dog leash.
- Yeah, can I go fly fishing?
Just like... (grunts)
- It's a big one, it's a big one!
- [Brennan] Pinocchio.
- Yes.
- Give me a DC 15 persuasion check.
- [Lou] Okay.
- Ooh!
- Don't you just hate runners
rubbing it in your face?
- Okay, it's a plus 4 to this.
- All right, come on, come on, come on.
(die taps table)
- Yeah!
(Emily cheers)
- 16.
(player clapping table)
- [Emily] Ooh, yeah!
- [Ally] Yes!
- [Siobhan] Nice!
- Yes, b*tch.
We're now all in the stomach.
(cast laughing)
- [Emily] That is good 'cause
I was sitting here being like,
"Do I hold my escape till they join us?"
- Oh my God.
- Pinocchio, you hold the
String of Destiny and just hear
'cause you attacked this one
over here that hisses at you.
And the loud thump of its
feet on the wooden deck,
(claps) boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
is just enough for you
to pull the attention
of the Dogfish over to
that section of the island.
- I am the boy of destiny! (laughs)
(cast laughing)
- Oh my God.
- Did you just say something
to yourself, Pinocchio?
- Uh, uh, no, no.
Gerard, why don't you
focus on not drowning?
(players laughing)
- Red, that is your turn.
- Okay, so what I wanna do is,
I got a Goodberry that I want
to get in Rosamund's mouth,
and I got my little flame that
I wanna use Control Flames
to light some of the
wood around us on fire.
- Okay, you have the
little match with you.
You're going to use Control Flames.
What is the wording of Control
Flames? How does it work?
- "You instantaneously
expand the flame five feet
in one direction, provided
that wood or other fuel
is present in the new location."
- Okay, copy that.
- [Emily] And I confirmed
that there's wood.
- That is correct.
- You did light your
little match. (laughs)
- I lit my little match.
I put on my goggles.
(players laughing)
- [Siobhan] The correct
order to do those two things.
- Am I wearing floaties?
You're gonna have to look to find out.
Yes, I am.
- [Ally] Yeah. (laughs)
- Now we're gonna have
to make this a roll.
- [Emily] Okay.
- You have Control Flame.
What is that? That's an action, right?
- It's an action, yeah.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Is it an action to
administer a Goodberry?
- [Brennan] It is an action
to administer a Goodberry.
- Okay, so is anyone around here?
Like, we're all getting swallowed.
What I wanna do is I wanna
try and strong-arm someone
and be like, hey, feed her this Goodberry
and then I'll get us all out of here.
- [Ally] The King.
- That's what I'm hoping.
- The King is dead.
He got hit by Rosamund's arrows
and didn't have enough HP
to survive just the initial
damage of the Dogfish.
- Okay, so there's no one in here?
- There is no one in
here with you right now.
- Then is there a way that I could,
like I'm assuming it's gonna spit us up
if I'm able to make the smoke.
- [Brennan] Yes.
- Ah, it's too much of a gamble, I think.
- I think that it's
the only option, right?
- But I can't do the
Goodberry and Control Flames.
- She'll get hit by acid.
- But she's gonna take-
- If you Goodberry,
she's gonna keep taking
acid damage every turn.
- [Siobhan] Yeah.
- Okay.
So I've got a Goodberry.
I'm putting it in her mouth.
- [Brennan] Gotcha, yeah.
- It's in her mouth.
As an object interaction I can
put it in her mouth. (laughs)
- Gotcha, but yeah, it's
the massaging the throat.
That's the action part.
- [Ally] Yeah, it's the moving the teeth.
- So then I think I'm going to-
- [Ally] Good, right? Yum, yum, yum.
- Hopefully it'll spit us out somewhere
that someone else can massage
the throat to make it happen,
but I think, yeah, I'm gonna
use my match and Control Flames
and try and light this stuff on fire.
- [Ally] All right.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- I'm like, digging deep
to the Big Bad Wolf.
- The DC of this is incredibly high.
It's a DC 25 constitution saving throw.
- [Murph] Okay.
- That the Terrible Dogfish has to make.
It has a plus 10 to
constitution saving throws.
- 15 or higher, it saves.
(eerie music)
- I'm gonna throw up.
- I'm gonna give you my fours.
Take a four!
- Can you...
- Let me touch this.
(cast laughing)
- [Siobhan] Spit on it, spit on it!
- Ugh. I can-
- [Murph] It's ruined.
- [Zac] Do you still have...
(suspenseful music)
(die taps Box of Doom)
- [Brennan] Nat 20.
- What?
- [Zac] Wait, can you.
- [Siobhan] Come on, Murph!
- Murph, you f*ck!
- [Siobhan] You gave him the wrong roll!
- Can you Silvery Barb it?
- [Siobhan] What the f*ck?
- Murph, I'm convinced that's your fault.
(cast laughing)
- One reaction you take
when a creature you
can see within 60 feet-
- [Lou] I don't think you can see.
- Succeeds on an attack,
ability, or saving throw.
I could Silvery Barbs this.
- You can't see.
- But it would be...
- You can see the...
- You can see the...
- Yeah, you can see the...
- Total, look at this wave.
- Come on, you can see that.
Say this water is completely opaque.
- [Zac] Big this fish is.
- Give me a perception check.
- [Ally] Okay.
- I'll be fair.
I will call it a DC 10 perception check
to see if you can see this
massive creature moving through.
(tense music)
- Help, can...
- No, you have a plus 9 to perception.
- Yes, that's 11, that's 11!
- That's true, that's true!
That's an 11. That's an 11.
(Brennan laughs wheezily)
- They rolled a two. They rolled a two.
- Okay, one away from
an automatic failure.
(players laughing)
- This is awesome, guys.
- We're freaking k*lling it. This is...
- Yeah, just real quick for a sec.
- Pause and just take in the rumbles.
- Oh, God.
(Murph groaning)
(ominous rumbles resound)
(Siobhan exhales softly)
- f*ck.
- I can't believe it.
- Wait a second, I just
realized something.
- [Brennan] What's that?
- I'm not allowed to have done that anyway
since it's a cantrip and
I'm in a rage, right?
- Wouldn't you just go out of your rage?
- You could just drop your rage and do it.
Okay, you get your perception.
- [Ally] Mm-hmm.
- Silvery Barbs can go off.
- [Ally] Mm-hmm.
- [Brennan] You are going
to give disadvantage here.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm gonna roll again.
- [Lou] It has disadvantage?
- Do you guys want me
to bless it again?
- No!
- No!
- Don't bless it.
- Wait, does it have disadvantage?
- It does have disadvantage.
- Then I'll use Call the Destiny as well
so it's gonna roll again.
- Oh, great.
- But now I, or...
- But now Murph rolls it.
- So can I see it as well?
And is it within 60 feet of the surface?
- It is within 60 feet
of the surface right now.
- [Lou] Okay, great.
- [Brennan] Give me a
DC 10 perception check.
- I'm not good at perception.
- You got this.
- Or no, wait. You're
attached to it with destiny.
Wait, never mind, okay.
- Oh, sick. Okay, cool.
So I'll also roll a d20, and
that's an additional roll.
- [Brennan] New homebrew subclass.
- What's up?
- In situations with advantage
or disadvantage, Call of Destiny
means that Pinocchio can,
if within 60 feet of a
creature making a roll
with advantage or disadvantage
can roll a d20 himself
and replace one of the rolls.
- [Ally] So it's a 3d20 roll.
- [Siobhan] Yes.
- And you take the absolute
lowest or absolute highest.
- But like, slightly better
because someone can be
rolling with disadvantage
and you can replace one
of their lower numbers.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you can kind of
call your shot with it.
- [Ally] Crazy.
- I'm gonna f*cking throw up.
- [Brennan] Okay, so disadvantage.
- Okay.
- [Brennan] Let's see.
- (puffing) I'm just blowing
on my little matchstick.
I warned you, Rosamund. (puffs)
- [Brennan] Give me your roll.
- Nat one, nat one, nat one!
(Siobhan laughing joyously)
- Yeah!
- Finally those broken dice
have come in clutch.
- Yes!
- Yes, yes!
- Your horrible dice!
- That die has been rolling like dog sh*t
for like, eight seasons.
- Dogfish!
- That was the-
- [Siobhan] Finally!
- Rolling like Dogfish.
- That's from "Fantasy High."
- All the way back, yeah.
- When Fabian had his bad
day, that was the die.
- That was the die.
- Yes, that was it.
- That was the Fabian's bad die.
- [Brennan] Okay...
- (laughs) Oh my God.
- So who are you giving
advantage to, by the way?
- And then I'm gonna
give advantage to you.
- Me?
- [Lou] Yeah, you need it.
- Yeah, that's true.
- [Siobhan] Yeah, you do need it.
- I'm in a bad place.
- Me? I'm in metal armor.
(cast laughing)
- You give it to Gerard.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Pinocchio, you see
Mother Goose reach out
with some of that storybook magic.
You pull, all of you see
that the strand of fate
You pull, all of you see
that the strand of fate
that Pinocchio's holding onto bows
until a part of it goes rod straight
and realize it's taken the
shape of a fishing pole
as you like... (mimics
fishing reel buzzing)
- Sorry, Rosamund. I don't
know why it's not working.
(Emily puffing desperately)
- You do a little bit
and just with enough
time, this thing jerks.
You finally get enough room
to get a good breath in,
and that Big Bad Wolf,
(mimics fire roaring)
and a gout of flame
and you hear... (moans)
(Brennan imitates Dogfish about to sneeze)
(Brennan roars)
- [Emily] I bonus action go
into another rage and I drop it.
- And this thing, not
only does it regurgitate.
It uses a legendary action to do so.
So at the end of your turn
it regurgitates Rosamund
(snaps fingers) and Ylfa.
- [Murph] Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Can I roll to see if the
action of regurgitation
makes me swallow the Goodberry?
(Ally and Emily laughing)
- Yeah, let's provide some canon here.
Go ahead and give me a
DC 15 constitution save.
- Oh, crap.
Oh, I did, yeah, yeah, 15.
- (laughs) 15? Cool.
So you, for some reason, you were trained.
Like, we cut all the way
back to you and be like,
now remember, this curse
will make you fall asleep
so we need to make it easy for nurses
and all sorts of people, if
they place a snack in your mouth
you... (laughs)
- Oh my God.
- [Brennan] You should-
- Remember, Sleeping Beauty.
- Remember, Sleeping
Beauty, you must be able
to imbibe all manner of-
- While you're asleep.
- Yes, you must be able to
consume bonbons, macarons,
all manner of sweet
treats while you are deep,
deep in unconsciousness.
And sure enough, the royal
training kicks in and you
(gulps) swallow a Goodberry.
(cast laughing)
Unbelievable.
- Oh, thank God!
I have one hit point.
- One f*cking hit point.
- Is it still popping up right
there? How does this work?
- It has used one of its legendary actions
to regurgitate them.
The end of Little Red Riding Hood's turn.
Puss in Boots, that's gonna be you.
- So it's still gonna
pop up right over here.
- [Brennan] I actually don't
think you know that right now
It's sort of like, its
routine has been interrupted.
(Emily laughing)
- Believe it or not.
- [Brennan] Believe it or not.
- Yeah, if you're walking in one direction
and you need to puke-
- It seems like it's not
gonna pop up this turn.
- You don't just kinda
hop right back in.
- Also, I will say this.
Pinocchio, on that sick-a*s roll,
you can't see 'cause of
where you're sitting,
but if Pinocchio looks behind him,
you will see the stand behind Pinocchio.
- [Emily] Firework.
- [Brennan] Fireworks stand.
(players gasp)
So yeah, Pib, what are you going to do?
- Pib is just gonna, if it doesn't seem
like it's gonna pop up this turn,
I'm just gonna attack
the guy in the water.
- [Murph] Yeah.
- And I have advantage
because of that help that-
- We can do this.
- [Zac] Tim gave me.
- [Murph] All right.
- So hopefully
we'll just ice this guy.
- [Lou] Ice him.
- Where did I?
- I think I'll still sink,
but I can breathe.
- You want me to do that or no?
- Mm...
- I can...
- When is...
Yeah.
- You're pretty close to the edge, right?
- Yeah, we're gonna have to
deal with them no matter what.
- Okay. How hurt is he?
- You could, you'd have
to use your reaction then.
I was gonna say you could hold
it and then just attack him
when he hops up on the dock if he does.
- I'll hold my reaction
for any fish people that come near me.
- You hold your reaction
for any fish people that come near you.
Okay, cool.
- Yeah and if...
I'll bonus action hide if I can.
- Sure, yeah. Give me a stealth check.
- Hold on a sec. Five, 10, 15, 20, 25...
I kinda wanna get up on this wheel.
- [Brennan] Yeah, go for it.
- [Lou] Hop up on a wheel.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- [Zac] I don't have any sticky
so can I just put it right here?
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Okay.
(die taps table)
22.
- 22, hell yes.
Okay, you ready an action
for if any little fish guys come near you.
This merrow is going to attack Gerard now.
- Hm, can I try to cut
a deal with the merrow?
- (laughs) Gerard, you gotta give up.
- No, look, we're both gonna
get eaten here in the water.
I'll just kind of go limp.
You get us over to the docks
and then we finish this on the docks.
We don't want this. You don't
want the Princess to drown.
- He swipes at you with his claws,
dealing eight and then seven
points of slashing damage.
- Awesome, awesome stuff.
(Emily and Brennan laughing)
- And then is going to continue swimming
and is going to move
all of you through here.
- [Murph] Damn it!
- [Brennan] He's just
gonna leave the board.
He's just gonna swim out into open sea.
- Can I attack him?
- [Ally] Oh!
- Yeah, now attack him
now that we're there.
- If it's like... (laughs)
- Right as we pop out here that'll be...
- [Brennan] You want to attack him?
- If he was gonna be leaving,
I would attack him, I think.
- [Brennan] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, we're f*cked if we're-
- [Brennan] Go ahead and
give me an attack roll.
(die taps table)
- That is a 21.
- 21 hits. Go ahead and roll damage.
- Okay, sneak attack plus...
(dramatic music)
(dice tapping table)
That's...
14 damage.
- Okay, 14 damage.
Another throwing knife
goes into that merrow
(yelps) as it sort of hisses.
(merrow hissing)
- (laughs) Is that the
first time we hurt him?
(Brennan yelps roughly)
(Emily mimics Brennan yelping)
- This guy's the bane of my existence.
- Yeah, this guy sucks. (laughs)
- Frog v. Fish.
- I f*cking hate this dude.
- You see the merrow that
still is holding Mira
turns around to slash at you, Gerard.
Mira reaches in and takes out
this beautiful conch shell
that spirals down to this beautiful point,
puts her fingers into the
interior of the conch shell
almost like you would hold it-
- (gasps) Whoa!
- [Brennan] In the way that
you like, perfectly want to
and bashes the f*cking skull in
of the merrow. - Brass knuckles.
- Yes! f*ck this guy!
- Bam, bam, bam!
- [Murph] I hate this guy!
- [Brennan] I'm gonna need
another DC 20 athletics check
from you.
- Sick.
- Are you still Blessed, though?
- Yeah.
- [Emily] Okay.
- [Lou] Gerard, stay blessed.
- [Emily] Blessed, stay blessed.
- I stay blessed.
That's 21 already.
- [Ally] Yes!
- [Siobhan] Nice.
- Your giant frog legs just pumping
as you wear full chain mail in the ocean,
(Emily giggling)
trying to keep yourself aloft.
And Mira with her movement
immediately scoops an arm
underneath you to help keep you aloft.
- Much appreciated.
- Thank you.
- I'm gonna say that
actually she kills that guy
and then is gonna get both of you.
She breeches with this
kick of her legs, whoom,
and lands on the deck here.
- [Ally] So strong.
- She knows how to use her
feet better than any of us.
- [Brennan] As she
lands you see this like,
big wince on her face as
she lands hard on both feet.
Gerard, that is gonna be your turn.
- Okay, not going to make the mistake
of ignoring the fish guys again.
This guy might not get eaten anymore.
So we got that guy coming up.
I guess I'm just going to...
I'll run up and, mm...
Okay, if it pops up
right there I'm scared.
(Ally laughs)
- [Murph] I'll be so scared.
- [Ally] I'm so scared.
- I guess I will just run over to...
So we see this swirling
so we can kind of assume
that he's over there right
now, but we don't know.
- You kind of don't know
where he is right now.
- [Murph] Okay, great.
- He just sped up there.
- Great stuff.
In that case I think what I'll do is,
I will just get myself
to the bottom of these...
I will just get myself
to the bottom of these...
Or should I go to the top?
I'll go, I'll just, I'll
do my jump and go up here.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- And then I think I'll
just ready an action.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- To sh**t at the thing's eye with my...
- To sh**t at the thing's eye with my...
I can't do it 'cause I
don't have advantage.
You know what? Maybe I'll go next to Pib.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- Kind of try to block Pib if
somebody tries to go for him,
and then I will give Pib the help action.
- Oh, thank you.
- But you have advantage still, right?
- Not anymore.
- [Ally] Okay.
- I'll give Pib the help action
on whatever attack he makes.
I'll sh**t my bow to do cover fire.
- Pib's got the help
action. Hell yeah, awesome.
Gerard, at the end of your turn...
- I don't have an action anymore.
- Oh, Gerard, do you want to light a match
on your turn, too?
- Yeah, I'll light a little match.
- Where's the place you want
this fish to appear the least?
- [Ally] God, I hope he
doesn't go in front of me.
- [Siobhan] Oh my God,
if he goes for there.
- I mean, yeah, it would be pretty cool.
We have this huge ally
that we're absolutely-
- That's a good second beat
of the Mer-King going, right?
If the Sea Witch just goes. Yeah.
- She announces how much of a pain
she's gonna be for all of us.
And we're super worried and then...
- Get ready to get to know me.
(cast laughing)
- [Siobhan] Big bad of the season.
- Get ready to get to know me!
- I'm sticking around!
(players laughing)
- I love that as an intro
line, "Get ready to know me."
- [Emily] Get ready to...
Every NPC that comes out.
- Hi, get ready to know me.
- Get ready to get to know me.
- Go ahead and give me
another persuasion check.
(Lou blows on die confidently)
- God damn it.
- You got it, you got it.
(Lou boldly blows on die)
(players laughing)
- Practice that swing.
Practice that swing.
- [Emily] I can't believe
we've never been to Vegas.
- Isn't that crazy?
- That's crazy.
- Okay.
- Oh!
- Is that c*ck?
- Snake eyes.
- Sure. (blows on die suavely)
(players laughing)
- This is insane.
(Lou mimics rolling dice)
(players laughing)
(Lou blows on die softly)
- AXE Peace.
(die taps table)
- [Lou] It's a 12.
- [Brennan] It's a 12, huh?
- Plus super Bless.
- Oh yeah.
(players laughing)
- [Lou] 12.
- God damn it.
- [Emily] Didn't you actually
come in with a help action?
- [Ally] Mm-mm! Mm-mm!
- [Lou] Tim, Tim!
- [Siobhan] Tim!
- No!
- [Emily] No!
- Tim, you have a Goodberry.
Put it in your mouth.
- [Zac] You got your Misty Step.
- [Murph] Oh yeah, you do have Misty Step.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- [Brennan] Okay, all right.
(mimics water gurgling) These...
- [Murph] Just tackle Mira.
- [Ally] f*cking damn it.
- [Murph] Get out of there.
- [Ally] Mira's right on
the edge. Like, she might...
- [Murph] I think she'll get eaten.
I think she's in the zone.
- Okay, Mother Goose, that is your turn.
- Damn!
- Get out of there.
Get out of there-
- Oh, so you're nice to me?
Brennan's flirting with me!
(cast laughing)
- Holy sh*t!
- (laughs) I love...
- I know, cool.
- That's just,
that's the initiative order
for the first time in this
fight working in your favor.
- So you make something really scary
and then you went, get out of here.
- Great, so you're negging
me and flirting with Ally.
(Ally laughing)
Great, okay.
- Everything I do is a neg or a flirt.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that about you.
- [Murph] It's only the two things.
- Two sides.
- [Ally] Okay.
- Do you wanna, you
probably have to grab Mira.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- 'Cause I think she-
- I absolutely dash forward and I will...
Am I able to kind of
like, convince her to run
or do I physically need to move her?
- [Brennan] She doesn't
have movement right now.
- Okay, cool, yeah.
- [Brennan] She finished her turn.
- I mean, I am very strong and tall and I-
- Yeah, Timothy's always out and doing
more push-ups than me he says.
- [Zac] 8'9".
- Regardless of my kind of poor posture.
I sit up straight and then I run.
- You played rugby for six
years, right? Professionally.
- Yeah, I played rugby
for a long time. Yeah.
- Hell yeah, go ahead.
If you want to, go ahead and
give me, we'll just call it...
Let's call it an athletics check.
- Okay.
- You know what?
She just got out of the water.
She's not gonna try to resist it
so it's just a DC five athletics check.
- Oh, great.
Yes! Okay, 12.
- Okay.
Any actions from you on your turn?
- Yes, I am going to...
So I'm running and I'm pushing
her, or I'm grabbing her.
I would love to, yeah,
also get up there or get-
- This fish guy's gonna grab her again.
- [Ally] God damn it.
- These g*dd*mn guys. (laughs)
- Get the picture, dude.
- f*ck you, dude! Get outta here!
- [Siobhan] Read the freaking room!
- Get out of here!
- I'm gonna try to get...
Let's see, I will bonus action
cast Expeditious Retreat
on myself.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- And for my action, I am
gonna give the help action.
Do I just have to be able to see them?
- You have to be next to them.
- You have to be next to them.
I'm also gonna say that you
should use your bonus action
or your action to like, save Mira here.
- Okay, then cool. I'll use my action.
So was that the full 30 or
can I go closer to the...
- [Murph] No, you can
go to like, the ladder.
- I'll go to the ladder,
for sure, with her.
- [Brennan] All right, cool.
- [Ally] And...
- [Murph] Switching spots with her
so that she doesn't get grabbed.
- [Ally] Yes.
- I think just for the record,
if you cast Expeditious Retreat,
I think it's concentration
and then Bless would go away.
- Oh!
- [Brennan] Oh, Bless would
go away if you cast it, yeah.
- Great call, so I am not going
to do that. I am going to-
- Probably heal.
- Healing Word on those guys.
- Oh, Healing Word.
- [Siobhan] Oh yeah.
- Oh, that's a great call, yeah.
- Yeah, I have one hit point right now.
- Cool, I throw Healing Word.
- [Emily] I'm fine, no need to heal me.
- Cool, so you throw a Healing
Word across to Rosamund,
and it's truly like you
thundering down the dock,
boom, boom, boom, and
just Mira turning around
covered in water and you just like,
unceremoniously tackle her out of the way
'cause at the end of your turn
this whole thing comes up.
- [Ally] Oh my God.
- [Emily] Oh!
- [Brennan] So boom!
- [Emily] That's the place-
- [Murph] There's your shack.
- [Emily] Action movie.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Run! (laughs)
- [Brennan] Boom!
- [Murph] It might hit her.
It'll stay up, I think.
- [Ally] Six points of damage to you.
- [Siobhan] Oh, thanks.
- [Lou] Points of damage.
- [Emily] Six points of damage?
- [Murph] Points of healing damage.
- [Lou] You're done, you're done.
- [Murph] It's called healing damage.
- [Zac] Did you add your
spellcasting modifier?
- [Ally] Plus 4.
- Boom! The Dogfish emerges.
And that's at the end
of Mother Goose's turn.
You give your advantage there.
Rosamund, that's gonna be you.
- Great.
- Oh, can you sh**t it from here?
- Yeah, I think so. So
I'm gonna actually...
I'm gonna grab Red and pull us
over to this dock over here.
- Okay, cool.
- [Siobhan] That'll be my movement.
- [Brennan] Great.
- [Siobhan] And then I'm gonna
cast Zephyr Strike on myself again.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- [Ally] Nice.
- To roll with advantage
that turns into disadvantage
to sh**t this eye that's close.
- Yeah, baby!
- Hell yeah.
(Ally slapping table)
So incredible.
So you grab Little Red,
surge up out of the water, get there.
You can see, I actually can
see that you can see its eye
like, through the f*cking ladder.
Zephyr Strike gives you advantage.
Do you have advantage on both
your attacks or just one?
- Just one attack.
- Okay.
So you're turning this into disadvantage.
What is your bonus to hit?
- Plus 10.
- So I'm gonna let you know right now
this thing's armor class is only 17.
- [Emily] Okay, so the lower one-
- So you need both of these to be-
- [Emily] To be seven or above.
- [Murph] Seven.
- Seven or above.
- Oh my God.
- We'll use a Call of Destiny
on this, yeah.
- [Brennan] Do you have
your reaction back or no?
- Oh, I guess not.
- [Zac] When was the last time you...
- [Brennan] When was
the last time you used?
- The last time I used
it was on your turn.
- It would have been, yeah.
- Okay.
Yeah, so you don't have it back
so we need both of these
to be seven or higher.
(dice tap Box of Doom)
13 and what's the other one?
- [Siobhan] That's a seven.
- [Brennan] Seven!
- Oh my God!
(players cheer and clap)
- [Brennan] Yes! Oh my f*cking God!
- Good Lord!
- Yeah!
- Rosamund, you leap to
the dock, get your bow.
(Brennan mimics arrow
slicing air and impacting)
As this thing is falling,
this tiny, beady little eye
buried deep in the hoary, old
monstrous cavern of its eyelid
buried deep in the hoary, old
monstrous cavern of its eyelid
crusted with barnacles,
seawater dripping, an arrow.
(Brennan mimics arrow
slicing air and impacting)
(Brennan moans painfully)
As blood spurts-
(Ally groans)
Spurts out of the eye and Pinocchio,
you feel that strand of
destiny shake and shudder
as this old monster of
the deep (howls deeply)
feels a rage beyond expressing.
- So I still have another attack.
- [Brennan] Okay. Go for it, yeah.
- I am going to attack fish guy up here.
- Yes! Murph's nemesis.
- [Brennan] Hell yeah, I'm gonna say just-
- [Siobhan] Murph's nemesis?
- [Ally] Murph's bully.
- Just with the angle you have,
I'm gonna ask you to make
that with disadvantage.
- In which case I, with the Zephyr Strike
because I did my advantage this turn,
I'm gonna move another
30 feet over to here
which means that I will
have a regular shot.
- Oh, sick, great. Regular
shot, done deal, boom.
Sprinting backwards firing another arrow
is pretty f*cking sick.
- Sick, bull's eye.
(Ally mimics pulling bowstring and firing)
- And that is a 28 to hit that guy.
(Emily cheers)
- That is definitely a hit.
- And I'm gonna use my...
Ooh, which one do I- Actually?
Maybe I want to...
I'm gonna use, this guy's
an, hmm, I'm gonna use-
- He's partially injured
from Pinocchio's earlier Eldritch Blasts.
- [Siobhan] Great.
- [Murph] Oh, sick.
- But he can swim. I'll just use the d6.
I thinking about knocking him prone,
but it doesn't make very much difference.
- [Emily] Yeah, I think he's
fine in the water, though.
- I'm gonna reroll this...
To another one. Okay, so
that's 10 damage to that guy.
- 10 damage (mimics arrow
impacting) an arrow thuds
into the side of that merrow over there.
At the end of your turn you
know Il Terribile Pescecane,
thoom, is gonna get the f*ck out of there.
- I want him to come for me.
- He has a little water stuck
to his butt, by the way.
- [Brennan] Who does?
- The Il Terribile-
- Il Terribile Pescecane.
- [Brennan] Oh, he's got a little...
- It is super embarrassing,
and we just, we wanted
you to know for the edit.
- He's got some water on his a*s.
- Super embarrassing.
- There's a little bit of
water stuck on his butt.
- [Emily] Yeah, it definitely
looks like toilet paper.
- Oh sh*t, oh sh*t.
- [Siobhan] Wow, humiliating.
- [Ally] Oh my God.
- Maybe he just like, swims
away 'cause he's so embarrassed.
- [Brennan] And I think a boat
just fell out of his mouth too.
- Embarrassing.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Embarrassing.
- God, that thing is so nasty.
- I love it. It's maybe
one of my favorite minis.
- Yeah, yeah, 'cause it's not a mini.
- It's a real maxi-mini.
- It's a maxi.
- [Brennan] Yeah, calling it, yeah-
- It's a maxi! That feels-
- It was such a sick maxi.
- [Emily] Ew!
- Oh my God.
- Okay, that is Rosamund's turn.
Pinocchio, that's going to be you.
- Coolio. What's up with these fireworks?
- [Ally] Yes.
- [Siobhan] Yes.
- You see a sick thing full
of fireworks back here.
You know that this is
the exact kind of thing
you would have relied
on if people were like,
stuck inside of the Dogfish.
But basically this is a way of
creating big, dramatic fire.
- Got it, so not as important
if no one's in the mouth.
- [Brennan] Correct.
- I think if we all
just like, light matches, we-
- Yeah, yeah.
- We'll be good on matches.
- As long as we have matches, we're fine.
- As long as you wade into battle
with just a tiny, little
lit match in your hand,
we should be 100% good.
- A full wolf holding...
- [Brennan] Full wolf holding...
- Can you just sh**t this f*cking dude?
- [Lou] What's that?
- 'Cause we need advantage.
- Yeah.
- Oh.
- I don't have that anymore.
- Oh, you don't have it anymore.
Great, maybe I'll do it next time.
- That's my new vibe.
- You remade yourself for
the New Year. That's cool.
- Yeah, what's up? I'm the Boy of Destiny.
(Siobhan laughing)
New Year, new me.
I mean, I guess I could
go find out what's up
with the Sea Witch.
- [Ally] (laughs) Give
her the help action.
- Maybe I could do something to find out
where he's gonna pop up so
then like, I'll hold a turn.
- Yeah, can I guess the...
- Definitely.
- Use the rod again.
- That is super useful.
- Hell yeah. Go ahead and
give me an insight check.
(die taps table)
- 17.
- He's coming for one of
the two middle places,
and you can decide which one.
- f*ck!
- [Lou] I think-
- Oh, closer to me. Closer to me.
Oh wait, there's too many people.
(Siobhan laughing)
- Yeah, excuse me!
Every major PC. (laughs)
- This is a real... (laughs)
This is a trolley problem situation.
Do you k*ll yourself
or all of your friends?
- [Lou] Well, I think I-
- [Murph] You still have movement.
- [Lou] I think I want it to be me.
- [Siobhan] Yeah.
- [Emily] Okay, so I think
I can still jump to him.
- I think I want it to be me, yeah.
- [Emily] Yeah.
- It can be me.
It'll be my side.
- Okay.
- Now, if I pick it to be my side,
if I move, will he follow me
or is it going to be my side regardless?
Or like, is it just going
to be this area regardless?
- He's not coming for just
places. He's coming for people.
- [Lou] Okay, got it.
So I'm picking either
myself or all of them.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Great, we'll pick me.
(laughs) We'll pick me.
- Pick the Sea Witch.
(players laughing)
- Better get ready to
keep getting to know me.
(players laughing)
- Another thing about
me, I'm a Sagittarius.
- Right, hello, everyone!
I've got a whole deal!
- Hey, here's a bunch of
fireworks. Go, go, go!
- I mean, grab the fireworks
if you pick yourself and run.
- I'll pick myself. Yeah,
I'll pick myself and...
- [Ally] And run? And join us? (laughs)
- Yes and Misty Step to all of my friends.
- That's how you solve the
f*cking trolley problem.
There you go.
- Can we get everybody?
- Yeah, and then can I hold
my action to cast Misty Step
when the thing comes up?
- Oh, smart.
- We'll do that.
- [Brennan] Yes.
- Wow, but still grab some
fireworks just in case.
- [Lou] Yeah.
- [Siobhan] Grab some firework.
- 15, 20, 25...
- [Siobhan] A little wooden boy.
- [Emily] Wait, I don't know if I'm going
to be able to jump onto him, though.
- [Siobhan] Very flammable child.
- [Ally] Oh my God, yeah.
- [Emily] If you go that far,
I don't think I can jump onto him.
- All right, you jump
over, object interaction,
you're gonna grab a
bunch of the fireworks.
You can grab a-
- [Lou] They don't come off.
- [Ally] That is so sick.
- [Lou] I tried.
- [Brennan] Oh, they don't?
- [Lou] Oh, they do?
Oh, they're stuck on there.
- [Ally] Oh my God, man.
- Weak little hand.
- Oh my goodness.
- Yeah, you weak little puppet.
- Well, I didn't want
to break Rick's sh*t.
- [Siobhan] You wanna break Rick's sh*t.
- [Lou] I didn't wanna break Rick's sh*t.
- Break Rick's sh*t.
- I don't wanna break Rick's sh*t.
I didn't wanna break Rick's sh*t.
- Wow, look how cool you look.
- [Brennan] Look how cool you look.
- [Ally] That's really cool.
- [Brennan] Strapped
with a bunch of rockets.
- [Ally] As big as you. Damn, that's so-
- All right, Pinocchio grabs
a shitload of fireworks.
Toy Island does kinda rule.
- Yeah.
And then I will... (laughs)
That's like, what is that?
Five, 10, 15, 20, 25.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- [Lou] So I'll move five back.
- [Emily] Yeah.
- And I'll prepare
to Misty Step just into the
water near the Sea Witch.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- Near our new, interesting,
soon to be gotten to known
friend, the Sea Witch
for the minute the Dogfish emerges.
- So all of you are looking out
and seeing the bubbling, frothing
water surround Pinocchio.
- [Murph] Pinocchio!
- [Brennan] As he's just like,
helping himself to some fireworks.
- [Emily] Pinocchio!
- [Zac] Get out of there!
- Pinocchio!
- To the fireworks stand!
- Pinocchio, it's not
a time for expl*sives!
- Incredible, wave continues.
The Sea Witch whips this boat
and spins around this way and...
- Will that get him out of there?
- And screams out and says like,
That's a great shot!
The Terrible Dogfish, you've
got to get its other eye!
And you see after her initiative,
it is the Terrible Dogfish's turn.
Pinoc, 30 feet towards
the Sea Witch, correct?
- Well, now she's moved, but
I think it is, it's 30 feet.
- [Murph] Just get on that little,
get on that driftwood.
- [Lou] Like, this way.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- [Lou] I think I can...
I don't think I can swim,
but I don't think I'll immediately drown.
- You're wood.
- Yeah.
- Oh my God, he's made of ebony.
He's the only wood that sinks!
He's just gonna sink to
the bottom of the sea!
- You're like a torpedo.
- It sucks, but it's buttoned up!
(Ally laughing)
(water splashes)
- [Ally] God.
- [Zac] Which eye's been hit?
(Terrible Dogfish growling)
- [Murph] Yeah, do we
know which eye's been hit?
- [Siobhan] I think it was this eye.
- [Brennan] Yes.
- [Murph] Okay.
- 'Cause it was turned the other
way when I was sh**ting it-
- Yeah, you do need some
kind of line of sight
on the right eye.
- Oh, God.
- [Emily] Oh, is it this eye?
- He's literally only up
for like, a turn, right?
- [Siobhan] So this eye has been shot.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Jesus Christ.
- [Siobhan] I shot this eye.
- [Ally] I need to get that
person advantage like, ASAP.
- Can you jump to those barrels?
- I can definitely jump. The question is-
- [Emily] I think I'm gonna jump here
and then try and recklessly attack.
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.
- [Siobhan] Oh, nice.
- It would be an option.
I don't have the stats that Rosamund does,
but we might as well
try as much as we can.
- Okay, the Terrible
Dogfish emerges, boom!
- Okay, the Terrible
Dogfish emerges, boom!
And that's gonna be
Little Red Riding Hood.
- Okay, so how far am I from being able
to get onto this eye?
- [Brennan] A good, fair distance.
- [Emily] Okay.
- [Brennan] You're probably
70 feet from the eye.
- So if I were to bonus
action turn into a lion...
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- And I have 50 feet of movement,
and if I get a running start,
I can jump up to 25 feet.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Would that get me onto its eye?
- 75 feet. So your movement
would have to be on the land.
But let's map it out, so that's five, 10-
- [Emily] The lion could zoom.
- [Brennan] 15, 20, 25, 30,
35, 40, let's measure from there.
So you need 35 feet, right?
That's very f*cking close.
I think give me, it's a
DC 15 athletics check.
- Okay, I think we gotta
try it. I'm in a rage so...
Come on, baby.
(die taps table)
I don't get it.
- [Brennan] Oh no.
- Bless?
- Wait, I'm bl...
Oh, that's an athletics check.
- Dang!
- [Brennan] Athletics check.
- All right, I'm a lion
in the water. (laughs)
But I'm also fine, you guys. I can...
(Brennan mimics water splashing)
- Sort of, just the massive,
sprawling cavernous mouth.
- Sort of, just the massive,
sprawling cavernous mouth.
- Well, so that was just my movement.
- Yeah, bonus action,
movement. You have an action.
- You have something you
can throw or anything?
- I mean...
- Oh, you're a lion.
- Yeah, I'm a lion to begin with.
Maybe there's nothing I can do.
- Can you give the help action
to someone who might go next
so they'd have advantage-
- Well, they-
- You could use your action
to try to grapple onto this thing.
- [Siobhan] Oh.
- Yeah, I'll do that, yeah.
- [Brennan] Cool, okay.
- [Ally] Oh, God.
- [Brennan] It obviously is gonna have
a f*cking bananas grapple.
- Yeah, I know.
- But I'll give you the number
you're trying to beat right now.
- [Ally] Who goes after you, usually?
- You're trying to beat a 16.
- I just rolled a five
and a four again so...
- [Brennan] Gotcha, okay.
- Oh, I'm rolling my bad dice. That's why.
- Yeah, get those outta here.
- These were...
- Get outta here.
- Get them.
- Get them outta here.
- These were the dice I was
supposed to roll. f*cked me up.
- Pib, that's gonna be you.
- [Ally] What would they...
- I kinda...
- Bad also.
- Mind if I pop over here?
- You do have the help action.
- All right. I just can't
see anything right there.
- Pib, running jump over water.
- I'm gonna, yeah, well...
- Yeah!
- Just go. (mimics wind whipping)
- Oh, yeah.
- So Pib is gonna dive 60 feet.
I don't wanna get in the water,
but dive towards this like,
whatever this f*cking thing
is called that are on ships.
- [Siobhan] Ship's wheel.
- Stand on the ship's wheel
and throw a dagger into the eye.
- Okay, so you're gonna try to jump
all the way over to here.
- [Zac] Yeah.
- [Brennan] Let's see...
- I have 60 feet
of movement right now.
- Feet of movement.
Okay, awesome, sick.
So in that case, yeah, I think that's...
But it's still a jump
so let me just see here.
- Oh sh*t, does that use
my help action if I jump?
- No.
- I can wait.
- If it's a roll, okay, your
long jump should be like,
20 feet horizontally.
- Yeah.
- Let's see if that's doable.
- I wanna just like, run to the front.
- It's not gonna be quite enough
to get you all the way there
so you're gonna need to
make some kind of roll.
But the help, you don't
need to use the help action
on your very next roll.
- Yeah.
- Go ahead and give me a DC,
we'll call it same, DC 15
acrobatics or athletics.
- Okay. (exhales softly)
- [Lou] Come on, come on, come on.
- Nat 20.
- [Brennan] Ooh, baby!
Pib, you sh**t out over the water
going to this captain's wheel here.
Go ahead, you have advantage
from the help action.
You have a piercing damage weapon.
Do you wanna roll with disadvantage?
- Yes.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- And you're Blessed.
- Now I'm Blessed.
- And you're blessed.
- Let's go ahead actually
and roll that d4 first for me.
- Okay, here?
- [Brennan] Yeah, go
right there. It's fine.
- Four.
- Holy sh*t.
Okay, what do you normally
add to your attacks?
- This is a plus 8.
- So now it's a plus 12.
- [Zac] Okay.
- So you just need both of
these to be a five or higher.
- [Lou] That we can do.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- We can do that.
- [Zac] Okay, okay, okay.
- We can do that.
(Ally slaps desk dramatically)
- Come on, Pib!
- [Siobhan] Come on, big money, big money.
- [Brennan] One's a four.
(players groaning)
17 and a four.
- Do you have your reaction yet?
- Do you have your save face thing?
- I don't. I used it to-
- [Emily] Wait, your save face thing.
- [Murph] What about your save face thing?
- Oh.
- You have a save face thing.
- Oh yeah, I can use my save face.
So once per short rest I can,
if you miss with an attack
or saving throw you can...
Wait, so...
- You see me.
- Yeah, you can see me.
I'm literally right there.
- The problem is, I'm not sure
if we counted it last time
when Beardsley used the ability on me
when I got hit and I had
to like, do that check-
- Oh, oh, no 'cause you used Silvery Barbs
which negated the attack altogether.
- Okay, great. So then I still have it.
- Yeah.
- [Ally] Yes.
- I see several people.
- Yeah, you see me.
- So that would be-
- I'm right here.
- One, two, three people
so I add three to that.
- So you needed a two or higher.
A four successfully does it!
- [Ally] Yes, yes!
(players clap and cheer)
- Unbelievable.
Pib, you hurl a knife (howls painfully)
into the eye of Il Terribile Pescecane.
- Get outta here.
(players laughing)
- [Brennan] The Terrible Dogfish
vanishes from Toy Island,
having destroyed, you know, many.
The funnel cake and cigar
shop is gone forevermore.
- [Ally] No!
- [Murph] No!
- [Lou] Pinocchio sheds
a single wooden tear.
- [Ally] (laughs) A splinter.
- Some sap.
- I love how many of us are in
the water right now. (laughs)
- [Siobhan] I know.
- A single wooden tear,
(mimics water rushing) as
the Dogfish swims away.
- I draw my blade and begin walking
towards this other fish guy.
(cast laughing)
- Oh yeah, wait.
- Now we settle the real fight!
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- No one help them.
One on one.
- One on one!
- One on one! (claps)
- I'm one v. oneing you!
- [Players chanting] One on
one, one on one, one on one!
- Incredible.
- Dandelion in the Breeze!
(players laughing)
- Okay. f*ck it, I'll roll
in front of the board.
Merrow's gonna run forward at you.
(dice tap table)
That's a nat one, but will charge forward,
leap to the top of this, and is going-
- k*ll him!
- The battle for the ages!
- k*ll him!
- You've got him, Gerard!
- He's actually just, he's actually trying
to kick you off of the...
So give me an athletics check.
- [Murph] sh*t!
- You're trying to beat a-
- Get outta here!
- [Brennan] You're trying to beat a 21.
(players laughing)
- Don't roll that dice.
- I have a lot of stuff.
- That's a bad one.
- No, no, no.
- That one rolled poorly.
- This one's the good one.
This one has turtles in it.
- Ooh!
- Yeah, 26.
- He tries to kick you in the chest.
- f*ck you, f*ck you! I
tried to be your friend!
- That's my frog!
- I tried to be your friend!
- Gerard, it's your turn.
(Murph screams)
- Come on, Gerard, come on!
- [Lou] Come on, Prince!
- Uh...
- Oh my God.
- 16 to hit.
- 16 hits.
- [Emily] Yeah!
- Come on, Gerard!
- Use superiority!
- Get him, k*ll him!
- [Siobhan] Gerard, you can do it.
- I'll use a superiority die
to do a Maneuvering Strike
just to hit him harder.
- A cat just k*lled a giant
fish and now... (chuckles)
- Just wrestling having, I barely, I...
11 damage.
- [Brennan] 11 damage.
- Yeah.
- You hit him for 11 damage.
He is badly injured.
- God damn it!
- [Lou] Gerard, come on!
- All right, I just wanna...
- [Ally] I was so hoping that would-
- Die, die!
- [Siobhan] Second attack!
- He is looking messed up.
- Okay, 19 to hit.
- Okay, gonna hit.
- 19 to hit. That's gonna hit.
- [Emily] Come on, come on.
- Gerard, come on, Gerard!
- Come on, Gerard.
- Please!
- Come on!
- Before you tell me,
I'm gonna write down how
many hit points he has.
Hold on.
- [Ally] Yes. (laughs)
- [Murph] Okay.
- Just want it to be honest.
- [Murph] I'm going to-
- If we don't k*ll-
- I'm going to burn my
last superiority die.
- Can this go over the credits?
Can the credits be rolling
this whole time? (laughs)
- [Brennan] Yeah, for sure.
- Okay.
- Okay, that's better.
- That's 14 damage.
(Emily laughs)
(tense dramatic music)
- Come on, please.
- [Lou] Come on, Gerard.
- Oh no, no, no!
- [Murph] You can't.
- Say it.
- [Emily] No, Brennan.
- [Murph] You can't.
- Say it, say it.
- Brennan!
(Brennan sighs dramatically)
- He had nine hit points left.
(players cheer and clap)
- Good Lord.
- [Siobhan] Gerard!
- [Brennan] Yes!
(Murph screams aggressively)
- We will tell your wife about this day!
She'll be very impressed!
- I'm the hero of this fight!
- Yeah, Gerard and Sea Witch.
- I'm the hero of this fight.
- Pinocchio didn't drown, did he?
- No, I'm okay.
- [Murph] Okay.
- Sea Witch, I want you to
know that man's a real hero.
- Right, well, it seems like the Dogfish
was more the archer and the cat.
- Nope!
- No, no, no.
- These guys suck.
(players laughing)
- These guys were really going after us.
- Right, well, I showed up
to help, but you know...
(laughs) Sorta didn't do
a lot, but congratulations
to all of you on your defeat
of the Terrible Dogfish.
- Thank you.
- Can we get in your boat with you?
I can't touch the water. Oh
no, he's gone, nevermind.
- Yeah, he got eaten first round.
- That guy got eaten pretty bad.
- He got eaten kinda immediately.
- I mean, you see Ylfa's in
the water so we're good to go.
- Just a lion, wet lion in the water.
(Emily laughing)
- All of you look and see that
your laughter and merriment
having survived the attack
of this terrible monstrosity of the deep,
staring at the Sea Witch, a
look of frozen rage on her face,
(Siobhan gasps)
the Little Mermaid beholds
the woman who took her
voice, draws a weapon,
and that's where we're
going to end today's episode
of "Dimension 20: Neverafter."
- Oh, uh-oh.
- Tune in next week as
we join the Sea Witch
here in what remains of
Toy Island, farewell!
(waves crash)
(dramatic music)
You've decided that you're
bringing the young lass
off to this council of princesses, then.
- Yeah.
- We're not sure necessarily
that the princesses, of
which I kind of am one,
but you know what I mean.
- It's hard to know if
they're like, actually good
or if they're just like, young and hot
and look cool with weapons.
- [Siobhan] Right.
- If you're just a mule
in a post-apocalypse,
you can just hang out.
- What happens if all those weird lines
rip apart all the sweet
grass in the world?
- (puffs nervously) That'd be really bad.
(Brennan snorts gruffly)
(Emily snorts aggressively)
Bonjour, mademoiselle.
- Bonjour, miss.
Ma'am? Mademoiselle.
- Our next goal is to
make sure that that ink
does not fall into the
hands of the fairies.
That ink is destiny itself.
- I don't think hoping for love is bad.
- Love is wonderful. I think
there are many who deserve it.
- But I don't know if you get
love just by deserving it.
- No, I think deserving
is a little bit too close
to destiny for my taste.
- Mm-hmm.
- It looks to me like
that book is mostly blank.
- Yeah.
- I've seen many true books.
I've never seen a blank true book before.
(dramatic music softens)
(spooky music)
(spooky music continues)
(spooky music continues)
