Hello one and all, and welcome back
to the final encounter of
Dimension 20: Neverafter
to the final encounter of
Dimension 20: Neverafter
here within the Canonade.
I am your humble dungeon
master Brennan Lee Mulligan.
With me as always are our Intrepid Heroes.
Say die, Intrepid Heroes.
- No!
(players shouting)
- Oh, sorry, sorry. Say
hi, Intrepid Heroes.
- Hi, Intrepid Heroes.
- Die, Intrepid Heroes.
- The villain.
(Brennan laughs maliciously)
- Wow, villain mode
activated right up top.
- [Brennan] Villain mode activated.
Pure little stinker mode engaged.
Last we left off, our
Intrepid Heroes had surged
into The Lines Between.

Having completed the
trials of the Baba Yaga
and retrieved the name of the Stepmother,
finding a path through the Neverafter
under the beating wings of the Gander
all the way to this
castle constructed here
in the midst of the Auroratory
with the ink of the Canonade
and the will of The
Authors made manifest here
in a seemingly endless labyrinthian castle
of books and stories.
Surging in to the Canonade,
you look before you
and see the Daughters of the
Crown in the midst of a ritual,
the ink of the Inkwell
surging forward as Snow White
prepares to bend the power
of The Authors themselves
and their true ink towards the open pages
of Scheherazade's true book beside her.
All of you look and see this
landscape out amongst you.
The radiating power of the
ink fluctuates in this room.
You can feel the power of pure
reality-bending magic itself.
You can feel the power of pure
reality-bending magic itself.
All magic in your worlds emanates
from this central power here.
Pinocchio, you can feel destiny itself
written in this ink in front of you.
The power of reality to
take the shape of a story
is contained within this room
as the princesses turn to face you.
- Can I just touch it real quick?
- [Brennan] You wanna
just touch it real quick?
- [Ally] It looks gummy.
- [Zac] It just consumes
your finger and you-
- [Emily] Oh my God.
- [Lou] Yeah, it's
another seemingly edible-
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Rick Perry original.
- It does look delicious.
- [Brennan] Real gummy energy.
- Yeah, I wanna touch it.
- A couple things before
we dive into combat.
We have the normal magic system of the,
you know, the injury, death blows,
all that stuff still
very much on the table.
In addition to that, we've had some rolls
from earlier sessions where
you learned certain stuff.
Like in the previous session we learned
that capturing people in
your book is possible.
Defeating them makes that automatic.
I just want to put the
sort of game systems
up in front of you because
you've sort of learned
in previous episodes what they are.
If you want to take a risk
and try to do it early,
they get all the saving
throws that they got
the first time Pib tried
it, but I will let you know
that they make those saving
throws with disadvantage
if they are at half hit points or fewer.
- [Ally] Ooh.
- Got it.
- [Brennan] All right?
- Interesting.
- [Brennan] Learning what
you've learned about the
factions before, I will
say that diplomacy checks,
Persuasion checks are on the table.
It is possible for you to try to,
even at this pitched moment,
right, to make a difference.
- So I could do plus six to Athletics
or minus one to Persuasion?
- [Brennan] Minus one to Persuasion.
What I will say is that the DCs
for these Persuasion checks,
should you choose to try to,
in the middle of pitched combat,
if you should choose to
try to convince somebody,
the DCs are not equal for
each player character,
meaning some of you have
lower DCs than others
depending on who you
are trying to convince.
- Oh!
- Interesting.
- Can we roll Insight to try to find out-
- Who is for what? Potentially.
You could do that on your turn.
I would allow an Insight check,
but you can do it one person at a time
to be like, do I have a good
shot with this person, right?
- Got it.
- Those Persuasion checks,
if you try to like, speak reason here
at the end of all things in
the face of coming apocalypse,
that will take an action to
do those Persuasion checks.
You can also use a bonus action
to a do a Persuasion check.
You will be doing it with disadvantage
in that case, all right?
- [Siobhan] Okay.
- All right.
- [Brennan] Cool.
With that, you see Snow White
here raising up her hand
to control the ink surging
forward from the Inkwell.
You look and see Scheherazade
beside her, Cinderella.
You see Cinderella, Scheherazade's
face is like neutral,
completely stoic gazing up
at the ink above Snow White.
- Does Scheherazade look under possession
or some sort of manipulation?
- I would say go ahead and
give me an Insight check
if you would like.
- Can I also?
- [Brennan] Yeah, you can do that as well.
- Oh my goodness, gorgeous, 21.
- Scheherazade face is
completely impassive and neutral.
- Hm.
- And also does not break
her gaze from the ink to you all entering.
- So she might be also
entranced by the ink.
- Hard to say, but I think
on a 21 you don't go like,
this arcane thing, but
you're like, not natural.
Not natural that she-
- [Emily] Not natural, okay.
- Yeah.
- [Murph] Got it.
- I got a 19 on the die and
my Insight is seven, so 26.
- I got a 19 on the die and
my Insight is seven, so 26.
- [Brennan] 26.
- Would I know a little bit more?
- [Brennan] As a witch, I'll say as a...
You're like, tell me what
the f*ck is going on, yeah.
- I'm like, well, I just feel like
this character specifically,
Timothy would be like,
what is going on, how are you there?
- What you would bet is this.
Scheherazade was pretty
reasonable, and these princesses
have had a lot of time to
work on everybody else.
You think that a time is
of the essence situation
happened with Scheherazade.
They got to the castle, saw
the book and basically went,
we don't have time to convince this person
the old-fashioned way.
- [Siobhan] Right.
- Yeah, magically.
- You have Dispel Magic, right?
- Yeah.
- [Emily] They sure did.
- So maybe if we can get
you close enough you can...
- The other thing I will
say, too, in this space
is you see the sort of solid
architecture of the books.
Everything that is sort
of crumpled paper here
is a fluttering mass
almost like a reactor core
of like, turning, flittering pages.
That was not the case when
you looked in here before.
Those pages-
- Yes.
- This is like, opening the Inkwell
and doing this magic here is like,
it's changing the landscape
of this place here.
- And we don't see the
Bauthors. What do call them?
Arthurs
- [Emily] Arthurs.
- The Arthurs? You don't see
any Arthurs here at the moment.
- Got it.
- [Brennan] No.
- And this is like, is it
like, lava, is it like...
- You don't look at that and see something
that looks particularly friendly.
- Okay.
- Okay, good to know.
- With that, Cinderella calls from the top
of this structure here under the Inkwell.
And you also see that
Snow White is trembling
under the effort of what she's doing.
I'll say, too, on a 21 and a 26,
looking at whatever magical
thing is happening here,
Snow White appears to be holding
concentration on whatever-
- On this. I was thinking Geas on her.
- [Brennan] Uh-huh.
- Just like,
a non-concentration coercive spell.
- Cool.
- You see that Snow White
is doing something, and I
think you would also see
that there's an intense connection
between Snow White and
the ink up above her.
Cinderella calls out to you
as you all burst into the door
and just shakes her head
and goes, you are late.
Turn from this place. We wish you no harm.
- I guess we gotta go, guys.
It's time for us to leave.
- Oh, they don't wish us any harm?
- [Zac] They don't.
- They don't wanna destroy the world,
but like in a...
- [Zac] Yeah.
- They just wanna do it in a nice way
that doesn't hurt anybody?
- So time for us
to get out of here.
- Ah yes, that's fair.
- We've never been the harmin' sort.
(cast laughing)
- We'll die somewhere else.
- Pib, you are first to act.
- [Zac] Pib is gonna use
his Feline Agility to...
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,
35 and sneak up to here.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- And I'm gonna...
Can I have rolled a Stealth
because it's sort of like,
Rapunzel can't see me if
I'm crawling up this way.
- You can try to get flat
to Stealth on Rapunzel
if you would like.
- [Zac] Yeah.
- [Brennan] Go ahead and
and give me a Stealth check.
I'm gonna say it's only going to apply
to the princesses on the lower tier.
- [Zac] Yeah, it would only be
for Rapunzel for this attack.
- [Brennan] Cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So...
(dice rattling)
That is a 26.
- Whew!
That's going to bypass the
passive perception for sure.
What is the range on your throwing knives?
- So I have sharpsh**ter now so this is...
- Yeah, what's the max range?
- [Zac] The normal range
is 20 foot, 60 foot.
- Okay.
- And it ignores the
long range part of that.
- She's exactly 60 feet away!
Oh, that's so f*cked up. Okay, cool.
- So I guess that would now...
Does that double or no? It's 60 feet?
- 60 feet, so normal you'd
be rolling with disadvantage,
but sharpsh**ter-
- Ah, okay, I see, I see.
Well, I got lucky.
(cast laughing)
I misunderstood and it worked out.
- Wait, what is the wording on
sharpsh**ter again? Just to.
- I, for some reason,
thought it doubled my range,
but I think I-
- [Brennan] Oh, let me-
- There's a really good
chance I just made that up.
- There's actually a spectacular
chance that I made that up.
- Misunderstood and it worked out.
- [Brennan] Following
benefits from sharpsh**ter.
Attacking at long range
doesn't impose disadvantage
on your ranged weapon attack rolls, yeah.
- [Zac] Yeah, oh well.
- So pretty incredible though.
It means you can...
I mean, think about
throwing a knife 60 feet
with no loss in accuracy.
- All right, just like that.
- You could cook from 60 feet away.
(players laughing)
- And you're gonna roll
with advantage here.
- Okay.
- [Siobhan] Very slowly chopping a carrot.
- Nat 20.
(players cheer)
- Gotta be f*cking kidding me.
- Yes!
- This is it.
This is our fight. If we k*ll...
'Cause you have the chance
to k*ll her instantly, right?
'Cause you crit.
- Yes, you do.
- Oh!
- [Lou] Yes.
- [Ally] Yes, you do.
- m*rder her instantly.
- That is true.
- I got 4d6 for sneak attack
so now 8d6 plus the 2d4 plus...
- Jesus.
- And she does a Con save.
- Wow, that is hot.
- And she has to do it.
The DC of the Con save is half the damage.
- (gasps) Come on, Zac. Come on, Zac.
- [Siobhan] Okay, come on,
Zac. Let's see those sixes.
- Okay.
- Oh, I see some fives.
I see some fours.
- Oh.
- Whoa, all right.
(intense music)
- 34 damage.
- Okay, 30...
That is incredible, so that's
a DC 17 Constitution save.
That is incredible, so that's
a DC 17 Constitution save.
- To not auto-die. (laughs)
- [Ally] To not just auto-die.
- [Brennan] So this is actually-
- The worst person we've encountered,
I'd say, out of their party.
- [Brennan] Out of their party.
- The person I want to see die instantly.
- She was very mean to me in the lake.
- [Siobhan] She was so mean to you.
- So mean to you.
- [Brennan] She was very mean.
- I explain that all right now.
- [Brennan] So here's the deal-
- We were talking about other stuff,
but Rapunzel was really mean.
- Passive aggressive.
- [Brennan] So the actual
wording of Death Blow,
it's pretty good. If she fails
the DC 17 Constitution save,
she takes the same amount of damage again
at the top of Pib's next turn.
- [Siobhan] Oh, great.
- Oh, okay.
- If she fails it by five
or more it's instant death.
- [Murph] Sick.
- [Brennan] This is
absolutely Box of Doom.
- So she gets a 12 or lower.
If she total gets 12 or lower.
- So yeah.
So half of that is 17, she adds
a plus three to her Con save
so on a 14 or higher she fully saves.
On an eight or lower,
she's dead instantly.
So 14 or higher, she saves.
Eight or lower, dead instantly.
- In the middle, she takes
whatever this damage is again.
- [Brennan] Again at the
top of her next turn.
- [Siobhan] Great.
- All right.
- Should be wild.
- (chuckles) This, well...
You have no-
- This is so funny.
- [Lou] How many minutes has it been?
- [Brennan] You have-
- How many minutes has it been?
- I love-
- No minutes at all.
No minutes at all. f*cking Puss in Boots.
You have no idea how cool
Rapunzel's powers are
if you prevent me from
being able to use them
'cause she never gets a
turn in combat, we will-
- But that would be really great
"Adventuring Party" content.
- Yeah, we'll talk about it
in the "Adventuring Party."
- [Zac] It would be a
really surly episode.
- Would that be such a-
- Yeah, hey, if I roll,
if this comes up, there
is a f*cking 40% chance
that we have the saddest
"Adventuring Party"
where I go, here's what woulda happened.
- She's like, really strong.
I think you should really k*ll her.
- She'll get Revivified.
- All right, everyone look.
Everyone take a look. Here we go.
(intense music)
(die taps Box of Doom)
13.
- Ah!
- Okay, so she does still
take the damage, though.
- She still takes the damage at the top.
- [Murph] All right, all
right. I'll take that.
- [Siobhan] Next time.
- Incredible, okay.
- I had the Feline Agility thing
so I'm gonna use the rest of my movement
to pop back behind this.
- [Brennan] Okay, cool.
Go ahead and move your mini. Unbelievable.
- Wow.
- Absolutely sick-
- Crit on Rapunzel at the start.
- Crit on Rapunzel, and
she does fail the save.
She takes 34 damage on Pib's next turn.
- Again.
- Oops, sorry.
- Wow, wow, wow, wow. Go ahead
and make sure to mark that.
That your next turn, she's
gonna take that damage again.
So what you see is, surging
forward, Pib, you leap out
and hurl a 60-foot wolf fanged hurl.
(metal whipping air)
(metal clanks)
Splits Rapunzel's throat
and blood gushes down.
And you see hair just
whipping around wildly,
these massive sort of tentacles
of hair as she (gurgles)
and suddenly doesn't
have the power to speak.
- Oh, and that's her main power, too.
- My bad.
- [Brennan] Unbelievable turn.
- My bad. (laughs)
- My bad.
- Mother Goose, that's gonna be you.
- Okay, I am going to...
How f*cked up is she looking, Rapunzel?
- Rapunzel is looking hurt,
but she did not like,
crumple to the floor.
Her hair seems to still have its strength
and tenacity to it for sure.
- Okay, okay, okay.
We'll be smart about that. I
won't f*cking leap forward.
I am going to move, let's see...
(under their breath) 5, 10, 15, 20...
Right next to Pib behind this column.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- And then I'm gonna throw a Bless.
Who haven't I been
blessing? Is there someone?
You haven't been blessed.
Have you been blessed?
- [Siobhan] Um, I haven't.
- No one's currently blessed, right?
- I'll take a Bless.
- Bless, Bless...
- I would maybe give one
to Ylfa or to the wolf.
- Yeah, I have probably
the worst attack bonus.
- Incredible, Ylfa, you, you and then...
- Also, with Bless, you can
upcast to get more people.
- That's what, my card
didn't say that. Okay.
- [Brennan] Oh, it didn't?
- Can I actually do that?
I'd love to.
- Am I wrong or is that?
- No, you're right.
- Yeah, you can, I think.
- [Brennan] That's correct. Yeah, you can-
- Is it one more person per level?
- [Brennan] One more person per level.
- Oh, perfect, okay.
So then I will throw a
third-level Blessing at everybody.
- [Murph] Sick.
- [Emily] Ooh!
- Awesome, so a third-level
would get five people.
- Yeah, except for me.
- [Brennan] Cool.
Except for you, cool.
- So that's everyone but me.
- [Brennan] Gotcha,
gotcha. Cool, cool, cool.
- Oh, thank you, Tim.
- Of course.
- [Brennan] Absolutely huge.
- Thanks, Mother.
- Of course!
- Tim!
- Tim, I f*cking got Rapunzel.
- Yeah. (laughs)
And then I'm going to yell
before I run to Cinderella.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- And can I do a check
to see my diplomacy
with her, specifically?
- Yeah, give me an Insight check.
- Okay, Insight to Cindy. Oh.
- Insight to Cindy.
- That is gonna be a 16.
- I think you and Cinderella
basically didn't have
that many meaningful,
like, big interactions so
you think that there's...
You're not perfectly sure
what that's gonna be like
or how that's gonna happen,
so I don't think you feel
a strong connection to Cinderella.
- On that Insight check can I see...
She kinda looks like she's
just providing muscle
and guarding the more spell things
that are happening behind her
or does she look like
she's also entranced?
- You think Cinderella is in
on the game with Snow White,
but you see that she's very much like,
guarding the sort of
vulnerable spell casting thing
that's happening up here.
- Okay.
And then can I do an object interaction
and just throw, like,
a part of a book down
and see what happens underneath us?
- Oh sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
You like, kick a book off
of the side of this thing.
You see that it hits
the papers underneath it
and the spine of the book frays
and it is broken up into
its constituent pages
to join the flurry of pages underneath.
- Okay, cool.
- [Lou] Hmm...
- Hell yeah. Any bonus action from you?
- No, no bonus. I think, yeah, blesses.
I can't do a Bardic and
a Bless in the same turn.
- You can 'cause Bardic's not a spell
so you can Bardic and Bless.
- Oh, incredible!
- [Brennan] Yeah, so an
action spell and Bardic.
- I have a Bardic still.
- You have a Bardic still.
Can I Bardic myself?
- Ooh, I don't think so.
- [Ally] No?
- I don't think you can.
- Okay, then I will
throw a Bardic at Ylfa.
Oh, you have one.
- I have one, yeah.
- Okay, I'll throw you a Bardic, yeah.
- He rolls terribly.
- I roll so bad.
(Ally laughs)
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, we'll throw a
d8, we'll throw a d4.
We'll stack it up.
- I'm gonna be making some
Persuasion checks and that's-
- [Ally] Yeah. (laughs)
- Not a good scene.
- And I don't know if
this is still in there,
but my book is probably still hidden
'cause it was an eight-hour...
- So you still have
Nondetection on your book.
- [Ally] Nondetection
should still be on that.
- Cool, I'm gonna say
with that Nondetection,
you've fully hidden it in your cloak.
It's like, gone.
- Yeah.
In that case can I yell,
I know you have my book!
- Go ahead and give me a Deception check.
- We're here to get my
book! I know you have it!
- [Murph] We have to
level with these people.
(Siobhan laughing)
- [Brennan] What was it?
- Nat one.
- [Brennan] Nat one, you see Snow-
- The dice know what you're doing.
- You see Snow White says,
Cinderella, he has the book.
Go get it from him.
(Ally laughing)
And you see Cinderella
says, as you wish and-
- No!
- That is Cinderella's turn.
Cinderella lowers the visor
of her glass helm and disappears.
- [Siobhan] Ah, sh*t!
- Oh no...
- [Emily] Greater Invisibility.
- You're doing that thing again.
- [Brennan] She's going to vanish. Okay.
What is your bird's armor class?
(pounding dramatic music)
(Emily laughs)
- Not Mr. Bird!
- All these people here and
she's gonna sh**t the bird?
- Mr. Bird!
- I feel okay with that.
- I do feel okay with that.
- I mean, honestly.
- No, actually, you know what?
She does have a good line
of sight to Gerard so-
- No! What?
- No, no, no!
- No, you seem to have a
problem with... (laughs)
- [Murph] I said it was fine!
- Oh my God!
- I didn't f*cking complain!
- [Brennan] You seemed
to have a problem with it being the bird!
- 13 is the bird's armor class. It's 13!
- [Brennan] Okay! 13 is the bird-
- I feel like I'm in
summer school. (laughs)
(players laughing)
- Okay.
- (laughs) The bird.
- Mr. Bird, no.
- It's like, exactly the person to go for.
- [Lou] Yeah, exactly.
- To be like,
all right, I'll go for Gerard.
- Yeah, f*ck! (laughs)
- Just twitching on the ground
before I can talk to Elody at all.
- [Ally] Oh my God. Does
anybody else have Dispel Magic?
- 29 points of damage.
- It's dead.
- How many hit points does the bird have?
- 20.
- 20.
You see that as the bird takes wing-
- k*lled my pet.
- Cinderella goes invisible
and streaking from two different
places along the ziggurat,
like, coming out of invisibility
are shards of pure glass
that thud into the bird
and k*ll your summon.
That is going to be-
- I'm still laughing
at being like, yeah,
yeah, yeah, all right.
She goes for Gerard.
- Yeah, yeah, that was so...
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Wait, wait, wait. We like
that she attacked the bird.
(Ally and Emily laughing)
- We thought it was bird or
she doesn't attack anyone.
Once you add Gerard, it was clearly bird.
- Incredible.
- It was also a smart move
on Cinderella's part to go for the person
with the least HP, which
actually would be Gerard, right?
(Ally and Emily giggle)
- Yeah, I'm just a
regular little frog now.
- [Siobhan] Gerard, just one HP.
- I have one HP.
- 11 AC, no sword.
- Okay, you see that Elody
steps forward and calls out
saying, (sighs) look alive!
- No, don't look alive!
We're on the same side!
Surely this is bad.
- [Brennan] We're not on the same side!
- We could be.
(Brennan laughs)
I know, look, we broke up via sword.
You don't fully know about that.
- [Brennan] What?
- [Murph] It's all good.
The sword said that you-
- [Brennan] What do you
mean you broke up via sword?
- [Murph] 'Cause you
said you cared about me
but you don't love me and that's O-
- I didn't say that!
- The sword!
The Sword of Truth, it tells the truth!
(Brennan and Emily laugh)
- Tom Thumb is like, God damn it.
- [Murph] Tom!
- [Ally] Why'd I stick up for this guy?
- [Murph] What do I do?
(players laughing)
- Elody begins to stride forward,
and you see Elody begins
to extend an aura,
sort of like, in like 30 feet around her.
- Well, good for her.
- Well, good for her.
Ylfa, that's gonna be you.
- [Emily] Okay, okay.
- [Ally] Come on, Ylfa.
- [Emily] I think I look
to Pib and I'm like,
is there someone that
you're trying to get me near
so that you can get...
- Huh.
I've been really enjoying
throwing daggers at Rapunzel.
Though I just started,
so I don't know how-
- My only thought is that the
Beast is gonna come up here,
but the Beast, I think,
is gonna be like me
which means she can take a lot of damage
but she can't do any.
- [Zac] Well, I don't know.
- [Emily] So she might
not be the biggest threat.
- We don't know.
- [Murph] She could start
tossing us off is the problem.
- [Siobhan] Yeah, yeah I
don't know if we wanna-
- [Ally] Is she trying to
do the Beast's bottleneck?
Ah, it has such a ring to
it, Beast's Bottleneck.
- I also think alienated myself
with the Beast amongst...
Probably my best Persuasion
check would be with the Beast,
but I've definitely alienated
myself with her as well.
- I think it sounded
like y'all hit it off.
- Yeah, I feel like
based on your recounting,
you guys kinda hit it off.
- Yeah, you had one of the
best interactions that day,
I feel like.
- Yeah, 'cause now
you're both like, honest all
the time and stuff, remember?
- So I'm actually like
a pretty social person.
- I think so.
- [Emily] Who fits in.
- You're a damn princess.
- Absolute social butterfly Ylfa.
- Okay, so I guess then I
need to protect you guys
- Okay, so I guess then I
need to protect you guys
up here on this pedestal
because she's probably coming.
She's probably coming...
- But this might be like a spell over-
- Yeah.
- I think Elody
is maybe protecting
Rapunzel at the moment.
- I'm not planning on staying
on the pedestal forever.
- Mm-mm.
- Okay so I don't need to like
protect you guys up here.
- [Ally] No.
- [Lou] No.
- [Siobhan] No, get in there.
- We all gotta get off of this whole area.
- [Lou] Cinderella's gonna show up here
and just start stabbing all of us.
- Can I see your little ruler
you always use menacingly?
(players laughing)
- You absolute freak.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
Hey, you little freak, give
me that f*cking Flexi Ruler.
- So this is 60 feet to jump onto this?
- That's about 40 feet, actually.
From corner to corner,
that's about 40 feet.
- And what do you need to do
to be able to jump 40 feet?
- Let's find your jump distance right now.
What's your speed? Or sorry,
what's your Strength score?
- My speed is currently 50 feet.
- Okay.
- My Strength score is 16
'cause I've got Longstrider
and my barbarian fast-moving stuff.
- So your long jump is 32 feet.
- Okay, so couldn't make it to her.
- Horizontally, so let's see...
- Does it change by being higher up?
- So 32 would get you like,
here, but you are higher up
so I would say you can,
I'd call that a DC 20 Athletics check.
- Okay, I think I'm not
gonna turn into paper
on the first turn.
- Yeah, yeah.
I had wild ideas, too. I
was like, okay, this is...
- I mean, you have advantage, right?
- The seventh season.
- I have advantage,
but my stats aren't great
so I only have a plus six
to Athletics so I feel
like maybe I'll just jump
and just begin this journey.
- [Lou] Yeah.
- If you guys don't feel like you need me.
I'm sorry, I wanted to get
to her to give you that.
- Oh, that's all right.
- Sneak attack, but...
- We'll find another way.
- We always will.
- I will eventually get there.
- We'll eventually find another way.
- Okay, so one, two-
- [Ally] Oh my gosh, so giant.
- Three, four, five, that's only...
- [Lou] That's a maxi.
- Five would be...
- [Ally And Lou] That's a maxi.
- 25 feet?
- [Brennan] 25.
- So then I still have 25 more feet.
- And that jump is effortless.
You don't have to roll
Athletics for that jump.
- [Emily] Okay, so I just jump here.
- [Brennan] And that's about
another 15 feet of movement
so you have 10 more feet of movement.
- [Lou] Cinematic.
- [Emily] 10 more, one, two.
Mm, you know what?
I'm gonna f*cking go here so
that she doesn't immediately
just throw me off.
- [Brennan] Okay, cool.
- [Ally] Nice.
- And I'm gonna go into a rage
and I'm just gonna take a
fighting stance and be like,
I gave up something to get here,
and I don't remember what it is,
and there's a pit in my
stomach that's hungry.
- Well, be our guest.
(Emily and Ally laugh)
- Are you legally allowed
to say that? (laughs)
- For context, that is a
line from the original 1800s.
(players laughing)
Sacré bleu, invaders!
- Do you have like,
a diplomatic relationship
with this person?
- I have a minus one to Persuasion,
and I feel like how I'm
gonna get her respect
is besting her physically so I feel
like I have to tangle
with her a little bit
before I could try anything anyways.
And also, I already used...
Oh wait, you're right, I didn't...
That was, I still have an action.
- Yeah, you have an action.
- Give it a shot.
- Yeah, give it a shot.
- All right, I'm gonna give it a shot.
I'm gonna give a Persuasion check a shot.
- Okay, and you're gonna
do it with an action?
- Yeah, because I mean like-
- [Ally] You don't have to-
- I couldn't get in
range to hit her anyway.
- Oh, right. And you did the
bonus action go into a rage.
- Do a bonus action go into a rage.
- Hell yeah, hell yeah.
- Yeah, so I think I couldn't
get in range to attack her
so I might as well.
- Awesome.
So I will go ahead and
say that that normal,
incredibly high DC of 25
will lower to you to a 20.
(player whistles)
- A 20 for a Persuasion check?
- [Brennan] For a Persuasion
check, so you have-
- Against, I feel like they had a...
- So you have to crit,
but you have Bless, right?
- I have Bardic.
- It went from 25 to 20.
- A Bless won't work on, will Bless?
- [Brennan] No, Bless will not work.
- Oh, it's saving throws.
- But I do have a Bardic.
- So it's impossible, pretty
much, for a lot of them.
- It's not necessarily impossible.
It's just hard.
- Okay, yeah, yeah.
- Like, it's a use of an
action, which is intense.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Okay, I think I'm gonna...
I'm trying to suss out her angle
'cause I never got her angle if she knew.
If she knew everything that was going on
or anything like that, but
I think I'll just be like,
animal to animal, you're an animal.
Death has shaped everything about you.
If we pour ink all over anything,
life, death, whole cycle, dunzo.
- Yeah.
- You feel good about that?
- Again, the DC is 20.
You add what, plus one?
- [Lou] Minus one.
- [Emily] Minus one.
- Minus one, so depends on your-
- But you have the Bless.
- I do have a Bless,
but I'm gonna wait to use.
- Bless does not add
to this ability check.
It's just, that's just-
- [Siobhan] But use a Bardic.
- You have a Bardic, so that's the thing.
So let's see if you even get
within range of a Bardic.
And yeah, let's see if you're
within rage of a Bardic.
Let's see here.
- Okay.
Join me!
(die taps table)
That's a nine. (laughs)
(players groan)
- [Brennan] Worth the
effort, worth the effort.
- Worth the effort.
- [Ally] So worth it.
- [Lou] We're fine, gotta try.
- Gotta try.
- You say, "You're an
animal, I'm an animal."
You go to this sort of bestial place,
and I think that what you
see in that moment, Ylfa,
is that the Beast hears that
and something about that tack
is that the Beast hears that
and something about that tack
makes her go like, then let
us settle this like beasts.
(Brennan snarls)
- Yeah, I thought that might be the case.
- And she just squares down to go for it.
But you do feel that
you have a better shot
than some other people here, for sure.
- Don't worry, I got this.
- (laughs) Pinocchio.
- Excuse me!
(players laugh)
- Honestly, a better chance statistically.
- Miss La Bete, uh...
- Cinderella may be Pinocchio.
- [Ally] Oh.
- That is going to be Scheherazade's turn.
- Scheherazade, be normal.
- Come on.
- Come on, Scheherazade.
- Be normal.
- Be normal.
- That's weird enough!
- Come on.
- Be normal.
- Babe.
- Be normal.
- Pib, I'll try to be getting into range
to help you with sneak attack.
- Cool.
I feel like we got other people
who could get in the mix there, too.
- [Lou] Oh, Scheherazade.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- [Lou] What are you doing?
- Sche, be normal.
- Scheherazade, be normal.
- It seems like you're...
- Thank God I have f*cking sharpsh**ter.
This is so far.
- Scheherazade continues to funnel energy
supporting Snow White's spell
that she basically gives advantage
to Snow White's concentration checks
holding on to this spell which is useful
because Snow White is
going to be next to act.
because Snow White is
going to be next to act.
- [Lou] Don't like that.
- [Ally] I don't like that either.
- [Siobhan] I don't like it.
- [Lou] I don't like it when they're-
- Can I play her sometime?
I really like her mini.
- [Brennan] Snow White?
- [Ally] Could I play her sometime?
- [Brennan] She just
looks so f*cking cool.
- [Siobhan] She does look really rad.
- [Ally] Just kind of solo.
- [Emily] It's like,
I just really fall for undead sh*t.
- [Ally] Yeah, yeah.
- [Brennan] Just really,
she's just really f*cking cool.
- [Siobhan] She's really cool.
- I fall for it I fall for it.
(intense suspenseful music)
- Be normal.
- (laughs) Be normal.
- Hey!
- Be normal.
- Be normal!
- Be normal, be normal.
- [Lou] Be normal.
- Princesses, please, listen. Be normal.
- [Lou] Be normal.
(players laughing)
- Impossible, it can't be working.
- Mass Persuasion check, be normal.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Nat 20.
- Nat 20.
- [Brennan] 60 foot.
- Nat 20 on be normal. (laughs)
- [Brennan] Radius, yeah,
that's gonna hit everybody.
- Oh, damn.
- Even me?
- [Brennan] Even you.
- Snow White is doing this?
- Snow White's doing it, yeah.
- She seems a little busy,
you know, with the big glob.
- [Brennan] Well, she's
getting help from Scheherazade.
I am going to need a
Constitution saving throw
from everybody, including Cricket.
- [Murph] Okay.
- Does that include Bless?
- That does include Bless.
Anyone with Bless will be able to make-
- Ooh! Oh, that's so nice.
- Nat 20!
(warm tones resound)
- Hell yeah.
- I'm gonna go ahead and use my Bardic.
- [Ally] Get the f*ck off of me.
- 22.
- [Siobhan] 14.
- [Ally] Nice.
- Thank you for Bless.
- Okay.
- Of course.
- I used my Bardic because
I rolled really poorly,
but I get now a 21 'cause I
rolled so well on my Bardic.
- [Ally] Nice.
- I got a 12.
- Yikes.
- Cricket got-
- [Ally] With Bless?
- I don't know what his Con
is, but he got a 17 on the die,
and I got a 19 on the die.
- Do we know if we had like, a short rest
in between the like-
- I'll say a short rest is doable, yeah.
If you wanna spend a hit
die to pop your HP back up.
- I think my HP is back up to full,
but I was gonna see if I could
maybe use that Saving Face.
- Oh, get your saving throws back.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, you can.
- Can I use Cutting Words?
- She's not making a roll.
- [Ally] Oh, okay.
- She's just subjecting all
of you to a saving throw.
- Then I will use Saving Face and add,
I think, the max to that.
- Cool, go ahead and add the max.
- So that's, I think it's up to five.
- Yes, I believe you are correct.
- Be normal.
- [Ally] We should totally try that.
- [Zac] So it's a 17.
- Jesus Christ!
- Jesus Christ bad or Jesus Christ good?
- [Brennan] Jesus Christ bad.
- Bad for Brennan?
- Oh no, bad for us.
- Bad for him.
- No, bad for us. It's
bad for us, I can see.
- I rolled a bunch of d6s.
Half the d6s were six on the die.
- Jesus Christ.
- [Siobhan] It's bad.
- Okay, that's gonna be...
- Be normal.
- He's punishing us for your crit, Pib.
- I feel it. I feel it.
Be normal.
- Be normal.
- Be normal.
- I'm begging you.
- What did people get?
- [Siobhan] 14.
- [Brennan] 14.
- Nat 20.
- Nat 20. What did Pinocchio get?
- 26 and then Cricket got a
17 plus whatever his Con is.
- Cool.
- [Zac] 17.
- [Murph] 22.
- 21.
- 21, okay, Snow White turns
and looks at all of you
and says, (sighs) pity.
Ghostly dwarves surge out
of the mist all around you.
To everyone that made
their save, it is 20 points
of necrotic damage.
- Jesus.
- [Brennan] 40 points to Rosamund.
- [Zac] Is this an attack I can see?
- [Brennan] This is not
a Dexterity saving throw.
- Well, Uncanny Dodge versus Evasion.
Would an Uncanny Dodge work on this or?
- Yeah, I think, what is the
wording on Uncanny Dodge?
- When an attacker that
you can see hits you-
- [Brennan] It's not an attack.
- Okay.
- It's a saving throw
for a spell, and then Cricket's
gonna take 20 as well.
- I will use my reaction to halve that.
- [Brennan] Okay, all of you see-
- I also, I'm gonna halve
that because I'm a beast.
- I also, I'm gonna halve
that because I'm a beast.
- Okay, beast, so you're
gonna halve that down to 10.
- Yeah, yeah, just-
- [Brennan] Cool.
- Oh, ouch.
- How big is this area of
effect that it can hit-
- This is a Circle of Death
spell which is a range of 150
and a 60-foot radius.
- Jesus Christ.
- Nevermind, Cricket is dead.
- No!
- Cricket goes... (screams)
You guys also see that Thumbelina dies.
- f*ck!
- Tom!
- All right, it's on!
All right, f*ck this!
- Thumbelina's dead, dead, dead?
- Thumbelina has dropped to zero.
- [Siobhan] Oh, okay.
- Dropped to zero.
Cricket goes, (gasps) hey, Pinocchio.
- Yeah, bud?
(foreboding music)
- Drink whiskey.
(players laugh)
Drink whiskey.
- You know, I'll tell you
one of the worst things
about being a puppet.
You can't cry when
something great happens.
- (laughs) Cricket vanishes,
Thumbelina falls at zero.
- (laughs) Cricket vanishes,
Thumbelina falls at zero.
Tom and Baba Yaga both make their saves.
And that is Snow White's-
- I can't take another one of those.
- Yeah, me neither.
- Yeah.
With Circle of Death, do they stay there
or they just appeared and attacked us?
- They just appeared for a moment, whoosh,
as they sort of slice at
you with these spectral axes
and then vanish as the spell is done.
Thumbelina is gonna, Thumbelina's next.
She's gonna make a death saving throw.
That's a success.
- You should chuck her in the book.
Just chuck her in the book.
- Oh, not a bad idea.
- [Lou] Chuck her in the book.
- I might just,
I might bring her back.
I have Healing Word.
- Oh.
- But she can't take more
than 20 points of damage?
- But maybe we'll all be-
- I mean, she's a sorcerer
so she can do a bunch of AOE effect.
- We'll all be getting out of here.
- [Brennan] No, she took the full 40.
- Oof.
- Tom seems Thumbelina drop
and is going to go, no!
And drop down to his feet.
He's going to make a medicine
check to attempt to stabilize.
Nat 20.
- Oh, is she back?
- Wow!
- Is she back?
- [Brennan] Well, he got a nat 20
on his stabilization check.
- Oh.
- So she is stabilized.
Tom leans down, takes a
little thing out of an acorn,
little packet, applies this salve
and goes, you m*therf*ckers!
And turns around and is going
to, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,
And turns around and is going
to, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,
35, 40 and is going to run to
the edge of that ledge there.
(Emily laughing)
(Brennan panting)
- Go get 'em, Tom!
- [Brennan] That's gonna be Rosamund.
- [Siobhan] Okay.
- That was Tom, right?
I couldn't see. (laughs)
- [Lou] I think it was Tom.
- Tom, I'm fighting my mirror
so if you wanna help me
I probably won't be able to...
- I'm gonna first-level
Healing Word Thumbelina.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- [Ally] Nice.
Get that girly back up.
- So that's five points
of healing for her.
And then I'm gonna walk to the edge here
and I'm gonna do two
attacks against Snow White.
- [Brennan] Hell yes.
- [Siobhan] Try and
break this concentration.
- [Ally] Nice.
- [Lou] Yeah!
- [Emily] Yeah, baby.
- [Ally] Use those attacks.
Use those attacks!
- [Emily] Yeah, baby!
- That is an 18 to hit
on the first attack.
- 18 to hit.
- And then the second one,
oh boy, is a 15 to hit.
Wow, I'm rolling poorly.
- The 18 is going to hit.
Go ahead and roll damage.
- Okay.
(Emily cheers)
And I'm actually going to use my swarm.
- Yeah.
- To have her
make a Strength saving throw, DC 15
or be moved up to 15 feet horizontally
in a direction of my choice.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- [Emily] Love it.
- My choice!
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.
- (sputter laughs) Oh,
and I can reroll that
'cause of Piercer, and I
got a one again, good God.
That is six big damage to Snow White,
and does she make her
Strength saving throw?
- Make her Con first with advantage.
She's probably gonna make it.
Yeah, well, she hit a nat 20.
- Oh, advantage.
- She probably wanted for
the Strength saving throw.
Okay, Strength saving throw,
she's gonna make that here.
Not a great save. What's the DC on that?
- [Siobhan] 15.
- 18 on the die.
- God damn!
- It was good, though. If you keep on her.
- The f*ck' wizard got an 18, yeah,
I'm gonna keep doing that 'cause like,
I mean, I just have been rolling badly.
- [Emily] And it was a swarm of birds-
- Throw all of these dice in the trash.
- [Emily] And there's
a bee in there, right?
- Yes.
- So Sleeping Beauty,
birds and arrows flying
from your thorny bow
streak across the Canonade
and hit the undead Snow White
across the chamber from you.
- And can I just, before
I go, do an Insight check
on if Cinderella will listen.
I know I can't see her but like,
do I think Cinderella will listen to me?
- Yeah, give me a Insight check.
- Now I roll well. That was a 22.
- Cinderella came to you
in the moment of your
death between worlds.
You feel like definitely
Cinderella would listen to you.
- Okay.
- I think you would be
rolling with disadvantage
until she like, appears again, right?
- Right, but if I'm doing
it as a bonus action
I'd be doing it as disadvantage anyway.
- [Brennan] Disadvantage anyway.
Yeah, absolutely.
- Great.
- So yeah, if you wanted
to attempt that, you could.
- Oh, I already did a bonus action
because I did Healing Word on Thumbelina.
- [Brennan] Cool, hell yes.
- Do you have any more movement?
- Yeah, can I just move so I
have half cover behind this?
- [Brennan] Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, go for it.
- [Siobhan] Thank you.
- Cool.
That's like a good little
sn*per position, too.
- [Siobhan] Yeah.
- This set is so cool.
Once again, to Rick and the whole g*ng
and whew, it's very, very sick.
Okay, Pinocchio, that is your turn.
- Okay, Pinocchio's
gonna pop open a bottle
of Pinocchio Select, take
a big swig, pour some out.
Pinocchio's Reserve, pour some out
on the ground for Cricket.
- Aw, drink whiskey.
- Douse a dead Cricket on the ground.
- Yeah.
(Murph laughs)
Okay, some sort of witchcraft maybe.
- One for the crickets that
couldn't be here. Yeah, exactly.
- I look over at Gerard.
Gerard, you wanna go get
up in the f*cking mix, man?
- Ooh!
- We could get in the mix.
I'm gonna have a chat.
- Yeah, so am I.
I'm gonna walk over to Gerard,
and we're gonna Dimension Door 500 feet.
- Whoa!
- Nice.
- Whoa, sh*t!
- [Lou] Down to here.
- Okay, sick as hell.
Ooh, we love it.
Sick-a*s magic.
- [Emily] We love it.
- [Siobhan] I love that spell.
It's so good.
- [Emily] We could use Gerard.
- [Brennan] Bam.
- [Murph] Wow, I'm like a mount now.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I won't lie. I
climb on top of Gerard.
- This feels right.
- Yes.
Wait, that's such a cute
visual, you on top of Gerard.
- I remember I was trying to get Murph
to take Mounted Combatant as a feat
so he could ride me into battle
once Ylfa became, this druid.
- Sick as hell. Okay, awesome.
You surge forward, so
action, Dimension Door, bam.
You appear in front of Mira
who's got a little sort of
knife out and is looking-
- Mira, it's me, Pinocchio
from the snowball fight.
I understand, a lot going on.
We have another way. All I'm
asking is you hear me out.
- Mira looks at you. You can see...
Give me an Insight check.
(die taps table)
- 19.
- Are you blessed?
- [Lou] Oh, I'm blessed.
- Ooh.
- 23.
- 23 okay, actually we'll keep
that 19 'cause I think Bless-
- [Emily] It's just
attacks and saving throws.
- Is just attacks and saving throws.
- Great, you know, hey,
season one habits die hard.
- Season one habits die hard.
You look at Mira and
on a 19 you think Mira
is not one of the true believers here.
But you do think Mira's
life is so uniquely bad
But you do think Mira's
life is so uniquely bad
that this was not the
hardest sell in the world.
You don't see conviction in her eyes,
but you also see someone who's
completely alone in the world
and heard that somebody had answers.
And you do share memories
with her, you know,
like finding her on Toy
Island, the snowfall fight.
If you want to make a Persuasion check
with your bonus action,
you have the ability.
- Oh, is it just a bonus action?
- Bonus action gives you, you
can do it with disadvantage.
- Oh, I'd love to do it with disadvantage.
Yeah, I'll do it with disadvantage.
- Okay.
- Come on, Mira.
- [Brennan] Yeah, so yeah, you go ahead
and give me Persuasion with disadvantage.
- Can I use Call of Destiny on myself or-
- Yeah, you can use Call
of Destiny on yourself.
- [Siobhan] Nice.
- All right, the first number is a 10.
- All right, the first number is a 10.
It's a 10, but I'll now
use Call of Destiny.
(mystical music)
(claps hands) That's a 24.
- Yes!
- Ooh.
- [Brennan] Sorry, the
lower of, so you can-
- So I used a disadvantage.
- [Brennan] Yes.
- Then I used Call of Destiny,
and I rolled a 19.
- [Brennan] Replacing.
- I'm gonna replace that with a 24.
(Brennan laughs)
- [Emily] Yeah!
- Oh my God!
Pinocchio, up on that ledge,
you're holding your book.
Your book just spins and
hovers above you and opens
and you are in control of
your own glowing strings.
You see strings from Pinocchio's hand
go into the book underneath him
to come out of the book above
him to go down to the holds
on himself of his own marionette strings.
And you, whoosh, open a glowing
book page in front of you
that your mount, Gerard, hops through
and appears down beneath you.
And you feel the power
to command the destiny
in this room itself.
(epic music)
(howl echoes)
- Whoa.
- You appear at the base
standing in front of Mira
who looks at this and
Snow White's hand shudders
and shakes up above as a
glob of ink spirals down
and begins to spin around your head
as you command the destiny in this space.
What do you say to Mira
as you look at her?
- I know what it means to have
something taken away from you
and to feel like you'll never get it back.
But having a world where
you could get it back,
where you could control your destiny,
that's a lot better than nothing.
And with Tim's book,
'cause he has a book...
- She looks up and you immediately see
that she didn't know that.
- He has a book, and that
what we're gonna try and do.
You don't have to fight
against the other princesses.
We just ask you don't fight against us.
- Raspy throat, a voice
she's still not used to.
I don't want my story to end here.
- And it's not.
There are gonna be more pages,
and you're gonna decide
what's written on them.
- Mira does not sheathe
her knife, looks at you
and steps beside you.
- [Emily] Yeah!
- Gerard team, yes, Gerard-
- That was awesome.
- [Lou] Now you, now you-
- Good job!
- Now you go do that.
- [Murph] I'll try, I'll try!
- Now you go do that.
You're gonna do.
- That's what you're gonna do!
That's what you're gonna do!
- Okay.
- [Siobhan] Convince your wife!
- Incredible. Little
Mermaid joins the squad.
(Ally and Emily clap)
(Emily cheers)
Amazing.
Okay, the Baba Yaga's turn.
- [Ally] Hell yeah.
- [Siobhan] Yay.
- [Brennan] Baba, what are we going to do?
- [Emily] I love her.
- [Ally] She flies right into the ink.
(cast laughing)
- [Emily] She loves it!
- [Murph] She attacks Thumbelina.
- She shampoos her hair in the ink.
- Looks delicious. Better drink the ink.
- I love it. (laughs)
- [Brennan] What the...
- Use more piss.
(players laughing)
- I piss in the ink.
- Okay.
Baba Yaga goes (laughs frenziedly)
and screams across the b*ttlefield
and is gonna just cast Cone
of Cold on the entire top
of the ziggurat structure.
- [Ally] Yes she is!
- [Brennan] Sick as hell, okay.
- So Baba, so Yaga.
- So Baba.
- I look at the Beast and
I'm like, she came with us.
- [Brennan] The Beast-
- Which side do you wanna be on right now?
- The Beast doesn't
look psyched about that.
(players laughing)
Honestly.
- Okay, I feel like I just say that-
- Gerard just like... (laughs meekly)
- Red line that, edit that.
- Scheherazade's under a spell
I think and we wanna-
- Baba Yaga goes,
everybody but me going to die here!
(cast laughing)
And-
- I know the words are bad,
but I love her.
- [Ally] Oh, okay.
- Pib clocks that.
- Yeah.
- Pib clocks that in a very serious way.
- Okay...
- Okay, she is going
to roll up right here.
- [Murph] Don't love it.
- Like at this angle.
Like, (laughs chaotically)
and she's gonna hit them.
Snow White and Scheherazade
are both going to drop
a Counterspell on it.
Snow White's Counterspell.
Baba Yaga drops a sixth-level
Counterspell on herself
and just knocks it out of the sky
so it's up to Scheherazade's Counterspell
to stop the Cone of Cold.
- It would be an honor
to die by your hands.
- (laughs) You love,
you've always loved her.
- [Brennan] (laughs)
I've always loved you.
- You called that it was her
from the second even like,
the whispers of this character came out.
- Okay, so Scheherazade has
to beat a pretty high DC.
It's a DC 15. I think Scheherazade's
got a like a coin flip.
A little bit better than a coin flip.
- I just love a crone, and
she's the ultimate crone.
- [Brennan] Ultimate crone.
- Yeah, she is the-
- Ultimate crone!
- This is gonna be pretty...
This is a pretty big f*cking deal
so 10 or higher on the die
and Scheherazade's gonna be
able to Counterspell this.
- [Murph] Um...
- [Lou] Come on!
- [Brennan] 15 on the die.
- [Murph] Okay.
- So whoosh, you see this
blast of wintry magic
as you see Baba Yaga take the pestle
and this old, wooden stick
and cross them and say,
winter is mine to command! (screams)
And this breath weapon,
this huge Cone of Cold.
Snow White looks like it's
just gonna shred her apart,
and you see that Scheherazade,
again, perfectly stoic
opens her book and just
throws this huge blast
of like, glittering golden dust and wind.
(mimics magic howling) You
see these two beams of energy
coalesce in front of the Inkwell.
That's Baba Yaga's turn.
(Emily chuckling)
- Sick.
- [Lou] Classic Baba.
- I love that we just brought, like-
- [Brennan] An incredible-
- Someone who's on no one's
side and is so powerful.
- [Brennan] So powerful.
- [Siobhan] Yeah.
- Just up in the mix, who
knows what's going on.
- She came with us, I guess.
- Everybody make sure...
- It's like when you bring
someone you kinda know
to a party and then they just do like,
six shots upon walking in
the door and you're like-
- Oh God, they didn't even bring anything.
- Oh no, what have I brought? (laughs)
- Yeah, oh no.
- They like, bite the
top of a beer bottle.
- [Ally] Yeah, yeah.
- God, this is so cool.
I like all these fairy
tales fighting each other.
Gerard, that's gonna be your turn.
- Oh, God. Okay.
I'm going to hop on over to Elody.
- [Ally] Oh, yeah.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- [Lou] Hey, you got it, bud.
- I assume I got 30 feet.
I can get to like, here.
- [Brennan] Yeah, you
can get to right here.
- Okay, I'll do, I guess I'll try
to do a Persuasion check as an action.
- [Brennan] Okay, Persuasion
check as an action.
- [Murph] Should I roll
first or should I talk first?
- Let's go ahead and roll first.
- Okay, if I get a low
roll I'm really gonna focus
on Tom Thumb and their relationship.
(players laughing)
Please, please.
(tense music)
(die taps table)
Okay, nine plus two is 11.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- But I'm blessed.
Oh wait, blessed is no good, right?
- [Brennan] Blessed is no good.
- Blessed is no good.
- You have a Bardic!
- I do have a Bardic. This is
still gonna be like, sub-20.
- Wait...
- [Siobhan] Wait, yeah.
- (sighs despondently) f*ck
me. I'm still gonna try it.
- But yeah, the check
might not be 20 for Elody.
- [Emily] But you're also in the form that
she fell in love with you.
- Yeah, yeah, you're
fighting for love, man.
- I don't think we're fighting for love.
I think I'm just trying to get her to-
- Fighting for like.
- [Murph] I'm trying to
get her to believe me.
- You're fighting for like, man.
- I'm fighting for...
- She's gonna love you, man.
- I'm fighting for-
- [Siobhan] Platonic love!
- Minimum level of trust
to not think I'm a liar.
(die taps table)
Okay, okay, so...
Seven on the Bardic so 16 plus two is 19.
I'm gonna use also Saving Face.
- So wait a minute, what
did you get on your die?
You got an 11?
- So nine on my die,
seven on my Bardic, 16.
- [Brennan] Plus two is 18.
- Plus two to Persuasion is
18. Okay, so I was wrong.
But Saving Face, I'll look at...
These guys are more than 30 feet away,
but I'll look at Mira
and Pinocchio to get 20
'cause Mira's an ally now, right?
- [Brennan] Mira is an ally now.
(Emily cheers)
(player clapping)
- Saving Face appealing to your ex-wife.
- Elody looks at you and looks
at your new form and goes,
Gerard, it's all lost.
Greenleigh's gone. Our home is gone.
- I know, but we don't know
what's gonna happen going forward.
You're going to get a
chance to tell your story.
We don't have to...
This is the apocalypse. This
is the end of everything.
And you haven't even had a...
You haven't been given your moment.
- Overhead you hear (laughs hectically)
You know, like the sounds
of battle raging around you.
- She's not totally on our side.
That was a weird tagalong situation.
(cast laughing)
- Honestly, the exact analogy
is, she was your ride here.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Our Uber driver
came to the fight with us.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Without Scheherazade,
we couldn't get here.
We had to get a ride.
- You mean Baba Yaga.
- No, no, without Scheherazade-
- Without Scheherazade, there's
no door that could open.
We had to get a chicken hut.
- This is how we got here.
- You see Elody looks
at you and just goes,
what are we trying to save, a story?
When you look at your destiny
and you see that the most
important part of your life
was something that happened to you,
why would you fight to save that?
- I don't think it has to be like that.
We have, we know...
(tender instrumental music)
If we could get books to everybody,
then they can tell their own stories.
There's no...
Everything was a lie before.
There is no just, happy
ending. Things don't just end.
Everything, everything cycles and
it just, it doesn't have
to be the way that it was.
- There's a moment where
time seems to slow,
pages fluttering around you here
on the lower bridge of the books.
Elody looks at you and
you see past her sternness
Elody looks at you and
you see past her sternness
the degree of like, anger
and betrayal she felt,
how cruel she's been to
you from time to time.
You finally look past that
and see this deep, deep loneliness,
and you wonder how it
would have been possible
for someone to be this lonely
when you were always by their side.
What are you gonna write in your book
that makes it all worth it?
- I don't know what happens
from here, but I've...
(tender music continues)
The times in my life when I was a frog,
when I've met all of these
people and when I was with you,
those were the most meaningful
times, and I'm a frog again
so I guess I'm just gonna
be a weird little guy
(chuckles) and see what happens.
- You sit there, this massive
bullfrog wearing a crown.
- [Murph] And I'm just like-
- And say...
- I'm a f*cking frog, Elody.
(Ally laughing)
- [Brennan] What?
- I'm just a f*cking frog
again. I'm just a frog.
- Elody looks at you, and
you, for the first time,
are not this like, sort of gulping...
Like, you know, you think
back to the conversation
you had in the castle, you're
like, you're being rude.
Like, you're being rude.
- [Murph] Right, yeah, yeah.
- [Brennan] And as you say-
- Do you remember this?
We used to just have fun
con, I used to just like,
it would just be like, self-deprecating.
Just like, I'm a f*cking
frog. Isn't that funny?
And we would kind of laugh and like...
We could be friends again.
You don't have to...
I'm sorry that I made you
feel like you were alone,
and I don't want you to
have to feel like that.
- You'd be my friend even if I...
Even if I wasn't...
- The sword already told me.
- She smiles and it is not her turn yet
so you stay there in this moment.
Any bonus actions from you?
- Do another Persuasion.
- Yeah.
- (laughs) Persuasion with disadvantage.
- I bonus action stab
her in the back and...
- Yeah, this is, it was
all a ploy. Take her mace.
- Technically, I can't
do the attack action
'cause I took an action, but
would let me use a maneuver
to give Elody a shot at Rapunzel?
- If you wanna let, with
a maneuvering attack,
get her closer to Rapunzel,
I will allow that.
- Or sorry, no, the...
I guess she doesn't
really have ranged things.
- You wanna use Commander's Strike?
- Yeah.
- [Brennan] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I'll just hold it. I'll hold it.
- Cool, you stay there
in this moment with Elody
where she looks at you and
sees, again, a vulnerability
that I think she has not seen before.
It's a complex series of
emotions of whether or not
you even liked each other
anymore given the weight
you even liked each other
anymore given the weight
of your curse and your story.
Like without that on top of you,
would you ever have been friends?
And she sits there looking into your eyes
and for a moment you see
something moving within her
that is not the sort of scorn or sorrow
you have seen so many times before.
And as you see that, a hair
whips around your froggy throat
because it is Rapunzel's turn.
- [Murph] Can I use bonus
action Second Wind real quick?
- [Brennan] Yeah, go for it.
- Okay, not great but fine.
I'm at 69.
- Nice.
- Oh, nice.
- 69 in your wife's aura.
- Rapunzel does 69 points of damage
(Emily laughing)
Oh.
- Rapunzel is going to take her turn.
Time to let down my hair.
- Ugh, it wasn't already...
It was pretty low. It's underneath you.
- Oh, I'm gonna choke you to death!
- (laughs) If you find me, b*tch.
- What do you mean?
- What do you mean by that?
Okay, attack coming for
Gerard. That's going to hit.
- Okay, do I get any buff
from Elody's aura thing?
- Oh.
- Do you get a buff from Elody's aura?
- We heard she was doing
a whole aura thing.
- I mean, it was pretty clear-
- Yeah, her aura's up.
- That she had an aura for her allies.
- She didn't drop that aura.
- Correct me if I'm wrong.
I thought there was an aura.
- Ex-wife new friend aura.
- [Ally] Ex-wife aura.
- My wife is my friend.
- Yes, you're in the friend zone.
- [Brennan] You do not-
(players laughing)
- [Ally] My wife and I
are just friends. (laughs)
- Okay, that's a hit.
- [Murph] Cool.
- Against Gerard.
That is a miss against Pinocchio.
- Oh.
- Oh, it's going both ways?
- I was wondering if she
was gonna be able to-
- That makes sense.
- That is a hit against Mira.
- Ooh, rude.
- She knows Mira's already-
- Oh my God!
Look how quick she turns on you, Mira.
- And that is a hit on
Little Red Riding Hood.
She says, enough of this! (screams)
And hair goes with a 50-foot
reach in all directions.
Little Red, Gerard, and
Mira are all grappled.
Little Red, you take 13
bludgeoning damage halved to six.
Little Red, you take 13
bludgeoning damage halved to six.
Gerard, you take 15 bludgeoning damage.
Mira is going to take
13 bludgeoning damage.
And she is going to...
Let me see something.
Red.
- Yeah.
- Your emotion-
- [Emily] Uh-huh.
- Just saved your life.
- [Ally] Your what?
- Because she automatically
moves everybody 15 feet
closer to her, which moves
you right to the edge
as she starts dragging everybody-
- Yeah! I knew it!
- [Ally] Hooray, smart cookie!
- I was like, no, I'm not
gonna land on the edge.
- Five, 10, 15, and Gerard,
she's gonna drag you next to her
and pull a knife from her
gown and attack you with it.
- [Emily] Oh...
- That's going to hit.
And she's going to deal...
(dice rattling)
(intense dramatic music)
Eight, four, 17 points of damage to you.
- Okay.
- She goes, enough talking! (grunts)
Like, drags you with her hair
and like, rising over you
plunges down with a knife into your back.
Gerard, Mira, and Little
Red are all restrained.
Gerard, Mira, and Little
Red are all restrained.
Speed zero, attack rolls
against creature have advantage.
Creatures' attack rolls have disadvantage,
disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws.
Also, uniquely to the
hair, you have disadvantage
on Strength checks and
Strength saving throws.
- Can't wait for Pib's turn
for her to take f*cking 34 more damage.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, Rapunzel is very powerful.
You see this hair like,
pulling all of you.
And she's got plenty more hair
where that came from as well.
(Zac groans)
- (laughs) Ew.
- [Brennan] That-
- Nasty.
- Incredibly nasty.
- No one liked that. No one liked that.
- No one liked that.
- Everyone... (laughs)
- No one liked that.
- [Siobhan] Everybody hated it.
- Mira is going to attempt
to escape the hair.
- Mira is going to attempt
to escape the hair.
- You got this, Mira.
- Yeah, she's just gonna take her attacks
against the hair that she's stuck in.
(suspenseful music)
(dice tapping table)
Mira takes out her knife
and slashes Rapunzel's hair
and frees herself from the
hair that she is stuck in
and is going to bound up the
steps 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
and is going to bound up the
steps 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
behind the Beast here, and
that's gonna be the Beast's turn.
Mira is gonna take an
attack of opportunity.
Mira misses the attack of opportunity.
The Beast is going to surge forward
and attempt to push Little Red
Riding Hood into the paper.
- [Emily] Okay. Oh God,
strategically placing herself.
- [Brennan] Yeah, strategically
places herself right here.
- So since I'm restrained, do I not roll?
'Cause usually I roll Strength-
- [Brennan] With advantage.
- So I still have it, okay.
- So you are now rolling straight.
It's a straight Athletics check.
- Okay.
- She's going to just
take one shove attempt against you.
This is definitely gonna be Box of Doom.
We're gonna pull this out
here. Here's the number.
She adds plus five to her roll.
She's gonna set the DC right here.
(die taps Box of Doom)
(suspenseful music)
She rolls a 19 on the die.
- [Murph] Jesus.
- Cutting Words.
- [Murph] Nice.
- Okay, Cutting Words.
- [Ally] I'm within 60 feet, right?
- Yep, you're within 60 feet.
- Oh, so sad.
(Emily and Ally laughing)
I peek out from behind the
book. Oh, you're so sad.
- [Brennan] Four, okay so...
- [Ally] Four.
- I have a plus six to Athletics.
- [Ally] So that's a 20.
- So you have to beat a 20.
- Okay, so I need to get a 14 or higher.
(die taps Box of Doom)
- [Brennan] 14, 14!
- [Ally] Yes!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- [Siobhan] Strong, so strong!
- Yes!
- So really strong.
- [Ally] Nice!
- Oh my f*cking God.
- Oh, that's so great!
(Emily laughing)
- [Brennan] Okay, so-
- So sad.
(players laughing)
- So sad! Unbelievable!
So Red, you are fighting this
hair coiling around your neck,
and as you are being
yanked towards the pages,
the Beast just prowls
up, kicks back at a swing
from the Little Mermaid and
goes to get both claws on you.
And you look and see Mother
Goose just magically,
(mimics magic whooshing)
and all these memories
of Pottington, the lives
you have lived together,
old man who took care of you,
and there's a flutter of wings
and the Beast, you like, ground down,
sink your claws into
the book and are like,
hanging off the edge as
the beast is on top of you
trying to shove you-
- That's right, Wolf.
(players laughing)
- [Brennan] Unbelievable.
- We'll find a name soon.
You tell me what you want.
- I'm the Big Bad Wolf,
and I f*cking love Timothy Goose!
- You see Rapunzel
takes another 34 damage.
She's like, you can see all the color
has drained from her body.
Blood is gushing down
the front of her gown
with this bloody knife over her hand.
I've had just about enough
of you wretched creatures!
Pib, that is your turn.
- [Ally] Yes!
- Giant bleeding stabbed frog.
I'm within five feet, I think.
(Brennan laughing)
- Yeah.
- 5, 10, 15, 20. This is the
same spot I think, right?
- 5, 10, 15, 20. This is the
same spot I think, right?
Is that 60 feet?
- Yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Oh, wow. Here we are again.
(Ally laughing)
- Are you gonna do?
Oh, you get sneak attack.
- [Ally] Let's do that again.
- Yes, absolutely. Go for it.
- I'm down here.
- So I'm not doing a...
I'm gonna bonus action help you
because I think that feels important.
- I'm about to get pitched in. (laughs)
- [Ally] Nice.
- So I'm not taking the Stealth here, but-
- Don't you get advantage
from being above her?
- Oh, do I?
- [Ally] Yeah.
- [Siobhan] You're sh**ting from above.
(Brennan makes a whistle-y thinking sound)
- Yeah, I'll allow that. I'll allow that.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Does a, oh, and then I add
my Bless to this, right?
- Gotta add that Bless.
- Does a 19 hit?
- 19 does not hit.
(Emily gasps)
- Is that right? Oof.
- Whoa.
- Hair. (mimics hair whipping)
- So I'll take two steps back.
(Brennan and Emily laugh)
- [Brennan] Cool.
- Oh, you might need to stay in range...
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah, stay-
- Oh, yeah.
Actually, I'll just stay here.
I'll just stay there.
- Cool.
- [Zac] I think that's everything.
- Well, I mean, technically
you did 30-something points
of damage immediately
at the top of your turn.
- [Emily] Yeah, I know. Yeah.
- You can always do more.
- Yeah. (laughs)
It's like you crit twice.
- [Brennan] Pib, anything else from you?
- I think that's everything
from Pib this turn.
- Okay, Mother Goose, that's gonna be you.
- I am going to Dimension Door.
(Brennan gasps)
- [Lou] Mm.
- [Emily] Ooh!
- Oh, you can bring someone with you, too.
- Do you wanna go?
- [Murph] Oh yeah.
- I'm going to this.
- Sure...
- Yeah.
- I think so, yeah.
- Yes? I take Pib.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- Meow, I love you. And I
Dimension Door to right here.
- [Brennan] Ooh, sick! Okay, cool.
- [Ally] And I am going to...
- [Brennan] Pib, do you want
to be down a step or do you-
- [Zac] Yes.
- [Brennan] Okay, cool.
The answer is f*cking yes.
- I'm behind you.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- So can I Dimension Door
and I now have Telekinetic
Shove as a bonus action.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- And I am going to
target Scheherazade, so she has to make
a Strength saving DC 15.
- [Brennan] Awesome.
- Is that a spell or is it?
- What is Telekinetic Shove?
- No it's a feat that I took.
- [Emily] What? Cool!
- So it improves my Mage Hand.
My Mage Hand now goes twice
as far and is invisible.
- Whoa.
- [Ally] And I can shove.
- [Siobhan] Cool feat.
- That's so fun.
- [Ally] Yeah, it's really cool.
- Push Scheherazade down.
(Emily chuckles)
(Lou mimics armor
clanking as it falls down)
- What happened to Sinbad?
- You think that...
You don't see Aesop or
Sinbad or any of them here.
- They might've got put in a book.
- Right.
- Oh.
- Oh yeah, maybe we can bring
some people out of her book
if we get her back.
- What's the save she has to make?
- [Ally] 15.
- DC 15 Strength saving throw?
- Strength saving throw.
- [Brennan] Sick.
- And she can be pushed away or toward,
and I want to bring her
five feet into my arms.
- [Brennan] Sick. Okay, awesome.
- [Lou] Glad Henry's not here.
- [Emily] Telekinetic shoving
someone into your arms.
- She fails by one point.
- [Ally] Yes!
- [Siobhan] Nice.
- I bring her
and I embrace her and I say,
we care for the stories.
and I embrace her and I say,
we care for the stories.
You can't give up on them.
We have a way to keep them
going in a way that's good.
- Incredible, you say that. Go ahead...
With that Telekinetic
Shove as a bonus action
I'll say you can give me
a Persuasion check here
if you would like.
- [Ally] Yes.
- As you say that.
(die taps table)
(Ally gulps)
- Persuasion, that is a 15.
- 15? That can't be right.
Is that right? What do
you add to Persuasion?
- Only a five right now.
- [Brennan] Oh, okay.
- But it doesn't feel right.
- It doesn't feel right to me.
You look down and do see
that magical sort of like,
her face just sort of frozen
in that magical reverie.
Scheherazade falls into your arms.
- Did moving her five
feet away do anything
for the spellcasters?
- She's no longer
giving that advantage
concentration to Snow White.
I'll say this, too. Give
me an Arcana check here.
- Okay.
(die taps table)
- There we go.
- Yes, okay.
- 24.
- Snow White is holding
onto concentration here.
She moved across the thing
on her first round here.
She's now been doing
this for three rounds.
You look at it and go,
before you can do anything
in your book, you will have to spend like,
an equivalent amount of time
undoing what Snow White was doing
so the more time Snow White
continues doing what she's doing
the harder your situation becomes.
- Can I use a luck roll
and try to persuade Scheherazade again?
- Yeah, give me. Yeah, go ahead.
- Well, with my Arcana check can I...
Would a Persuasion break her out of this?
- [Brennan] It's not gonna
break her out of that.
- Okay, yeah.
- But she goes back here
to this space with you.
- Brennan, I wanted to make a
Perception check and forgot.
Is there any way I can-
- Yeah, yeah, go for it.
Yeah, go for it.
- I just wanna see if there's
any cutbacks in this room.
- Mm, mm-hmm.
- [Siobhan] Oh.
- [Ally] Nice.
- That's a nat one.
- Nat one.
You don't see any sign of them here.
- That was really smart and
it was a really good idea.
- [Brennan] Really good idea.
- Do I open my eyes?
I try to feel it. I thought
you could just feel it.
- You get distracted by the pun: catbacks.
- [Brennan] Sick, so that's bonus action.
- I pick up a book.
- Action and reaction.
- You used your reaction last time.
- Oh yeah, I used my reaction
in the turn before me
and then I just used
bonus action and action.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- Do I have another reaction?
- [Zac] I think your reaction-
- Does it restart at my-
- [Emily] So you will get reaction again.
Oh cool, so I do have a reaction. Amazing.
- Does our reaction reset now
or at the top of the order?
- Your reaction is reset now
so you have your reaction.
- Okay, hell yeah.
- [Zac] That would be good.
- Yeah, yeah. (laughs)
- [Lou] What's going
on over there, you two?
- She poked me with a d4. (laughs)
(players laughing)
And said, "Doesn't that
hurt?" I said, "Yeah."
(players laughing)
That one doesn't really hurt.
- This is a really sharp one.
This is really sharp.
- That's the sharp one.
- Oh my God. Doesn't it hurt?
- This is my sharpest.
Ow.
(players laughing)
- Brennan's just about to
whip up and be like, uh...
- 70 damage.
- The Baba Yaga does...
- Yeah, exactly. Baba Yaga does 95 damage.
- To all of you.
- To the ziggurat.
- [Brennan] Pib.
- [Zac] Mm-hmm.
- [Lou] No.
- What?
- Oh, Cinderella.
- [Siobhan] Oh.
- Oh, God damn it.
- [Lou] Dressed in yellow.
- You take 19 points of damage.
- Okay.
(energy powers down)
Technically still up.
- [Lou] Technically?
(suspenseful music)
- 23 points of damage.
- Down.
- Oh!
- You see the shimmering glass armor.
Cinderella appears here
next to you and goes,
Cinderella appears here
next to you and goes,
do you want to put me in a book, cat?
And stabs you twice with her spear,
and you take that damage.
Instead of landing another
blow she's going to keep,
you know, mission-conscious
and is going to make her third
attack against Mother Goose.
She is attacking up from
below you on the ziggurat
so her advantage from
invisibility cancels out.
It's a straight roll. That's a hit.
You take 20 points of
damage, Mother Goose,
as she lances up invisibly.
You see the shimmer of a glass
spear moving towards you.
- I say, I want to put a pen in your hand.
(Brennan laughs)
We don't want to put you
in a book, we want to
put a pen in your hand.
- Very after school.
- We want to put a pen
in every single citizen's
hand of this great place.
(Lou claps and mimics crowd cheering)
- Cinderella drops Pib,
stabs Mother Goose, seems...
You see that this glass has this powerful,
magical like, smiting energy on it.
Elody looks, sees Rapunzel
over Gerard's body.
Is going to step forward.
(haunting music)
(dice rattling)
And take two swings and miss
both times against Rapunzel.
- [Zac] Oh, damn.
- Elody!
- [Siobhan] Nice try, Elody.
- She rushes forward. (grunts)
And just clanging down and
says, stop hurting him!
This isn't the plan! And yells that out.
- What does that two-faced
liar say in return?
- She doesn't say much.
(Ally laughs)
Ylfa, that's gonna be your turn.
- [Ally] Yes, Ylfa.
- [Lou] Ylfa.
- Okay.
- You still have my help?
- Yeah, yeah.
- [Ally] Ylfa's battleship.
- Yes, the help action's still there.
- [Lou] It's like a relationship.
- Okay, so what's the situation
with this, I'm restrained?
Do I have to use an
action to get out of it?
- So here's the interesting thing.
Mira got out by actually attacking
and destroying the hair, which you can do.
That doesn't seem to harm Rapunzel,
but it is a way to get out.
You could also make a Strength
check to get out as well,
but that's a full action to do that
and you have a disadvantage, you know.
- The other thing I
would just ask is like,
does this hair act like
a web or something?
If I like, Wild Shaped into a spider,
would I no longer be restrained
and I could just walk on it?
- No, unfortunately not.
- [Emily] Okay, interesting.
- You just walk on it down to her face.
- [Emily] (laughs) Walk on her.
- Ylfa, did you just mouth
"hair spider" to yourself?
I see you mouthing "hair spider."
- Okay, hey, let a girl
privately workshop.
(Ally and Siobhan laughing)
Okay, then I think-
- [Ally] Doesn't it hurt?
- I'm gonna use one attack
to try to get out of it.
- Okay.
- And if I were
to recklessly attack, would
that mean that in the case
to recklessly attack, would
that mean that in the case
of a shove attack, someone
would have advantage on me?
- No, it's just, they only
have advantage to hit you.
They would not have
advantage on shoving you.
- Great.
- Okay, so I'm gonna try
and I'm gonna reckless attack the hair.
Just in case.
- Nice.
- That is a 27 to hit.
- 27 hits.
You can go ahead and roll damage.
- That is 16 damage to the hair.
- You, ooh, it's nasty. You
bite through strands of hair.
- [Emily] You gotta clean
the drain sometimes.
- And you, in your first attack,
free yourself from Rapunzel's hair.
- Okay, and then I think
I'm gonna look at the Beast.
I still have an attack.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- f*ck, what do I wanna do here?
I'm going to...
(Ally mimics shoving)
Yeah, that's kinda what I want to do.
- [Murph] Yeah, I think
we can't make friends-
- Straight overhead.
- A little Muay Thai kinda...
- I kinda wanna try and grapple the Beast
and then take her off the edge.
- You wanna, okay. So you're
gonna try to grapple the Beast.
So you have another shove.
So a shove can move her five feet.
So you can move her to the edge with you.
- But if I grapple her, I haven't
used my movement. Could I?
- Ooh, I see what you mean.
- Like, if you moved at a diagonal
not getting, provoke
attack of opportunity,
I wonder if you could just
switch places with her
and then shove her.
- [Brennan] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So like, if you were to try
to move her to this ledge
and drop her off the edge over there.
- [Emily] Yeah.
- Yeah, I think that works,
I think that makes sense.
- Okay.
- So you've recklessed
so she's going to...
She'll get a Dex save if you
like, drop her over the edge,
but she'll go ahead, she'll set the DC.
Plus five before she
rolls. She rolled a nine.
That's 14 is the DC you're
trying to beat to grapple.
- [Ally] Come on.
(die taps table)
- 17.
- 17, you turn around.
(Brennan and Emily growling)
Just claws and fur
sinking into each other.
- (laughs) From hair to
fur, today is a dank day!
(cast laughing)
- [Brennan] Little Red Riding
Hood and the Beast face off.
You grab the Beast, move
her over here, drop her.
This is definitely a Box-
- Can I actually...
So what I wanna do is I
wanna hold her over the edge
and I'm gonna use my bonus action
to try to do the Persuasion
with disadvantage
and if it doesn't work,
I'll drop her. (laughs)
- Okay, this...
- Sometimes you're just gonna
try and roll two nat 20s.
- Just sometimes you might
have to roll two nat 20s.
(players laughing)
- I'm gonna say that actually,
the DC was 20 before.
Suspended over oblivion where it's gone
from being kind of an existential
French sort of abstract
into being like, this is
straight-up about to happen to you.
- [Ally] Yes.
- We're gonna lower that DC to 15.
- Yes!
- Okay, okay.
- Still hard 'cause you're
rolling with disadvantage.
- And I'm using, my bonus
action is very valuable.
I could be shifting. I could
be getting more hit points.
But I'm instead-
- So you need both of these
to be 16 and higher, let's see.
- Do you still have that
help or did you use it?
- I didn't use it.
- You could cancel it and roll
straight if you wanted to.
- I will definitely do that.
- [Ally] Ooh!
- Okay, 16 or higher.
- [Brennan] All right.
- Yeah.
- Ladies, ladies,
ladies, ladies.
- Box of Doom?
- [Brennan] Let's Box of Doom this
'cause on a 16 or higher,
you're gonna get another ally.
- [Ally] Come on, come on, come on.
- [Emily] Come on, gorgeous.
(die taps Box of Doom)
- [Brennan] Five. (laughs)
- [Murph] Brutal.
- Really nice try.
- Come on, gorgeous.
- Nevermind. (laughs)
- [Brennan] (laughs) Come on, gorgeous.
- [Lou] Great, I liked, hey, I
like it either way, you know?
- [Siobhan] We can be friends.
- I like the backup of being
like, and you don't agree?
Okay, goodbye. You die.
- You see them thinking about it too long.
- Yeah, forget I said anything.
- You're like a mirror to me.
I see so much of myself in
you and so much of me in you!
No? Okay, bye.
(Ally laughing)
- Incredible.
- Was the Beast ever
gonna come to our side?
- [Brennan] Hard to-
- DC 15's not bad.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- But it's only
when faced with death.
- [Lou] Exactly.
- [Ally and Emily] Yeah.
- Otherwise DC 20 with someone-
- I mean, it's definitely
how you wanna make a friend,
you know?
- That's true, that's true.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Be my friend.
- Join my side.
- [Ally] Sure.
- So, she's gotta make a DC 15-
- [Emily] Oh, right.
- Dexterity save.
Her Dexterity's not great so
it's gotta be a 15 on the die.
We're gonna roll Box of Doom.
- Low, low, roll low.
- Boo, boo.
- Boo.
- Boo!
- That's a seven, folks!
- Yes! Okay, all right!
- All right, so you see
she says, save your pity.
Do what you feel you must.
- All right, well, death is hungry.
- (mimics pages fluttering)
Pages flicker underneath her
as she hits the pages
(mimics reverberations)
and you just see like, Beast,
princess, Beast, princess.
You see her human form.
(screams) As like, text string-
- Can we say that I kept
a little bit of her fur
in between my fingers?
- [Brennan] Sure.
- So that we could put
it in the book later.
- [Ally] Ooh.
- Keep a little bit of fur.
Standing over this ledge,
the Beast falls into the parchment.
She, literally, she had 104 hit points.
- Yeah, that's good.
- The pages deal 18d10 damage,
and they dealt 106 points of damage.
- Oh! (laughs)
- True f*cking story. Don't
get dropped in the pages.
- True f*cking story. Don't
get dropped in the pages.
- 18...
- [Brennan] D10.
- D10?
- [Brennan] 18d10, yes.
- I just want everyone to know
that I forewent getting more hit points
to try to do that Persuasion.
- It's okay.
- [Ally] Wow.
- Incredible turn from Ylfa.
Okay.
- What's Tom Thumb up to?
- Yes, Thumbelina!
- Tom Thumb, get into it.
- Thumbelina's as far away
as she possibly can be.
- [Emily] How much of
my movement did I use?
- I know, but she can fly.
- Oh, yeah.
- [Emily] Could I then continue
to walk a little closer?
- [Ally] Ooh.
- I think you used,
you would have used 30 feet of movement.
- Then you know what, let me get back
to this safe space-
- [Brennan] Cool.
- That Rapunzel wasn't able to down me.
- Cool, gotcha. You rush back
to the center of the ledge.
- Can I grab Mira with me
so that she doesn't get-
- Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. You
can grab her and carry Mira.
- Mira!
- You grab Mira,
move her to the center.
Scheherazade's turn,
Scheherazade turns to look at you
and says, I have my mission.
I know what must be
done. And she is going...
I'm gonna need...
Let's see here, can she even do that
without hitting Cinderella?
- Probably not.
- Yeah, probably not, right?
- She doesn't wanna hit Cinderella.
I think she just gives me the help action.
- Have you considered that?
- [Brennan] Two, three...
- Have you read the
rules properly, Brennan?
'Cause I'm pretty sure there's-
- Four...
- Counterspell.
- Counterspell?
- [Ally] Yeah.
- You counter a Sleep spell
coming right for you, boom.
- [Siobhan] Oh!
- Oh!
- [Brennan] Scheherazade
goes for the Sleep spell.
- You don't know your mission. (laughs)
- (laughs) Give me a
Charisma saving throw.
- Okay.
(dramatic music)
Six.
- As you (mimics magic
crackling) get rid of that spell,
Scheherazade comes back
with another piece of magic
and (exhales briskly)
blows some of that like,
sparkling, radiant energy into your face.
You have disadvantage on
ability checks, attack rolls,
and saving throws.
- Okay.
- That is Scheherazade's turn.
She's not funneling any
energy towards Snow White.
- And she still looks,
everything she's saying
she looks like she's
underneath some sort of a spell
like a Charm or a...
- Yes.
She looks like she is still charmed.
- She's not trying to like,
get out from the Charm is she?
Is she making rolls each turn?
- She's not making rolls each turn.
- [Ally] Okay.
- It looks like there is
an effect just resting on her.
- Okay 'cause anyone
within 30 feet of me gains
advantage on saving throws
against being frightened or charmed
so I don't know if that
helps her in any way or...
Yep, it seems like it's done.
- It looks like there would
need to be some sort of like...
- Dispel.
- Dispel.
Snow White's turn.
- I don't like her turns.
- Her turns are tough, I gotta be honest.
- Unless I wanna play her.
She seems really powerful.
- She's really strong and cool.
- Rosamund, she misses one attack.
Another attack glances off the cover.
- Oh, thank God.
- [Brennan] And the last one
is going to be a critical hit.
- [Murph] Jesus.
(Emily groans)
- f*ck!
- Does anybody have any reactions?
- Thumbelina's in the mix.
- Oh, Thumbelina!
- [Siobhan] I saved Thumbelina.
- [Lou] Yes, and it was for this moment.
Be there, Thumbelina. Come through.
- [Brennan] Okay.
(dice rattling)
- [Lou] Come through,
Thumbelina. Come through.
- 12, 22...
25 points of damage.
Oh, sorry, it's more than 25.
25 and then 35, 44...
47 points of damage to Rosamund.
- I'm down.
- [Murph] Damn.
- [Emily] Thumbelina!
- [Lou] Thumbelina Thumbelina!
- [Murph] The Goodberries.
♪ Tiny little thing ♪
♪ Thumbelina dance ♪
- 47 points of damage.
I am going to, also on a critical hit,
we are going to have to roll.
47 halved is 23.
DC 23 Constitution saving throw.
- To not die?
- To not die.
- Oh, wait, to not fully die?
- On a critical save, DC
half damage which is 23.
On a fail you take the
same amount of damage
beginning at the top of the next turn.
Fail the save by five or
more and it's instant death.
- And you have Bless.
- I have Bless.
- Yeah, Bless works for
that, right? Saving throw.
- I have plus two to Constitution.
- Okay, and you have
advantage because you're...
- Really cool and nice
and everybody likes me.
- We are going to, let's see here.
This could very well be it right here.
(Lou and Emily laugh incredulously)
- I just have to go home
in the middle of the day
while everybody else fights the finale.
- The DC is 23. You have Bless.
And you add a plus two to
your Constitution modifier.
Let's roll that Bless first. Box of Doom.
(dramatic music intensifies)
One.
(energy powers down)
- So you have to get a nat 20.
- No, what you need to do...
The DC is now 22 so a nat 20
means that nothing would happen at all.
You need a 15 or higher
not to die instantly.
- Oh yeah, that's right.
- Oh, oh, right, right.
- There's a whole...
- [Emily] Oh!
- [Murph] Yes, the damage thing.
- All right.
- If there's any other
PC creep that anybody has
or any other ability...
- I don't have a reaction.
- I'm out of reactions.
- Can you Counterspell the crit?
- I Counterspelled on Sleep.
- Oh no, you Counterspelled
Sleep on, yeah, you can't, yeah.
- [Ally] So all of my everything,
my action economy's gone.
- Well, here we go.
(die taps Box of Doom)
f*ck, yep.
- [Brennan] Two on the die.
- [Murph] f*ck!
(somber music)
- [Brennan] Snow White...
- And time to unveil my new character!
(players laughing)
- (laughs) A bird!
- Hey, I'll summon a construct
and you can play that.
- Rosamund, you look up. Snow
White connects in this moment.
As she does so she looks at you and says,
I expected no one more
than you to understand.
- I expected no one more
than you to want to live.
- (mimics magic howling) And
a streak of necromantic energy
races across the room.
As it does so, you turn and
see Rosamund fall, no more.
As it does so, you turn and
see Rosamund fall, no more.
(Brennan sighs sadly)
- Are we running like,
just a separate timeline
where you're in Shoeberg
trying to get to us
for the end of this battle?
- Trying to get this
magic mirror to the Queen.
- Like, yeah. (laughs)
- That is Snow White's turn.
After that,
Thumbelina.
- [Emily] Come on, Thumbelina, please.
- Rushes over to Rosamund's side.
And because there is no
one else up on that dais,
no one else sees what is transpiring.
- I'm so hoping that she's...
What's that sorcerer that
has all the cleric sh*t?
Divine Soul.
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh.
- She's a surgeon.
(tender instrumental music)
- [Emily] She's not magical.
- She is a sorcerer but she-
- Fully scalpel out.
- She did 15 years of med school
before she became magical.
- [Murph] Serious surgeon.
- She can do top surgery.
- She is Dr. Strange.
Yes, she doesn't bring me back to life.
- Jesus!
- She just cuts my t*ts off.
(players laughing)
- She's like, I don't know.
I think I heard you say
you wanted this. (laughs)
- [Lou] These would be great
for a skin graft later.
(Ally and Emily laughing)
- [Emily] Starts harvesting your organs.
- (laughs) Because no one's up there
no one sees what
transpires, just harvesting.
- A little boy in Ohio is
gonna live because of you!
- That's where the name
Thumbelina comes in.
- Holding a heart over her head.
- Yeah, she flies away holding the heart.
She's like, Tom, help me.
- [Emily] She's like,
I'm getting so much money
on the black market.
- Tom books it, they carry-
- We just see a liver
start to float over.
- A liver in an Igloo cooler
gets flown across the b*ttlefield.
- She's already starting to rot.
- Incredible. Tom Thumb
does a dash. (pants)
Sprinting down, takes his little
pin sword and button shield
and rushes towards Rapunzel.
- Where is he now?
- [Brennan] He's all the way down here.
- You can't see him.
He's the size of one of
the papers on the ground.
- Oh, okay, got it.
Oh yeah, I thought he
was a paper for sure.
- [Ally] Yeah, he should
hide under a paper, honestly.
- Oh yeah.
- Can he do that?
Has he thought of that?
- He should have natural hide.
- Mm-hmm, Rosamund, as you begin to fade,
- Mm-hmm, Rosamund, as you begin to fade,
you are fully dead.
And as your life is leaving your body,
you see Thumbelina's face looking down
as the light leaves from you.
She looks down and says,
Princess, is it your time to rest,
or do you want your story to continue?
- I don't think it's my time to rest.
- Then I think-
(whip snaps)
(Brennan gagging)
Coming from the wound in your body,
briars seep into her eyes
and begin to pull her
brain out of her skull.
No, no, no!
- I take it back!
- And her skull and tiny
body is split in half
as this version of you seeps into the book
and you call and devour a
darker version of your story.
and you call and devour a
darker version of your story.
You come back at one hit
point. Thumbelina is dead.
(Emily laughs unbelievingly)
- [Siobhan] Oh my God.
- You harvested her organs.
- Wait, yeah.
Thumbelina is in an Igloo.
- Yes, nobody tell Tom.
Should have put her in the book.
Well, I guess Rosamund came back.
- I was thinking is this so poetic.
Rosamund brought Thumbelina back.
- [Lou] And now Thumbelina-
- And now-
- How beauti...
- Thumbelina can Revivify her.
- [Lou] But you sucked her brains out.
- [Brennan] Sleeping Beauty.
- Oh, wow!
- What?
- Okay, I'm rad as hell now.
- Yeah, I mean, you k*lled Thumbelina.
- Nobody get in my damn way.
- Just do that sh*t to Rapunzel.
- Absolutely worth it.
- And not us. (laughs)
- Rosamund, you feel the briars,
at this point they cannot be stopped.
Your death, there is no
happy ending for you anymore.
There is only what must
be done in this room
and that is it as the
briars go... (snarls)
Her Highness is in danger.
Put them all to sleep.
Rip them apart!
Put her in the highest
room of the tallest tower!
And something great...
You see the Baba Yaga turn
around and go... (groans)
(players laughing)
- Wait, so this is like,
half you, half briars.
- [Brennan] Yes, you-
- You aren't in full control.
- [Brennan] You're dead,
and the squeezing of thorns
pumps your heart for you in
the absence of your living body
being able to do so.
- Ow, ow, ow.
(Brennan and Emily laughing)
- That's kinda cool for mindfulness.
- Pinocchio, that's gonna be your turn.
- Thank God I don't see any of that.
(players laughing)
- I just see Rosamund rise and I'm like,
how poetic, Thumbelina
revivified Rosamund.
- [Lou] Yeah, I think I
look back and I'm like,
okay, Rosamund's good.
- Yeah.
Thumbelina rushes over here.
- [Emily] Paying it forward-
- And you guys don't see what transpired.
- Thank God f*cking Tom
Thumb didn't see it.
- Yeah. Tom's gonna be so
pissed at you, dude, you.
- Me?
- [Ally] Nah. (laughs)
- [Siobhan] Yeah, you. Oh
my God, it's all your fault.
- We're buddies.
- That's your boy.
- Pinocchio's gonna polish off this bottle
of Pinocchio Reserve.
Smash it on the ground,
(glass shatters)
pop another piece of bubble gum.
Gonna move 5, 10, 15, 20.
- [Ally] Oh yes!
Gonna move 5, 10, 15, 20.
- [Ally] Oh yes!
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- 20, 20.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm, I gotcha.
- Oh, and then I snap my finger
off. I snapped off my magic.
But I would love to, if it's possible,
I don't know what the
radius on my fireworks are,
but I wanna put one in a
way that hits Scheherazade,
Cinderella, and Snow White.
- [Emily] Ooh, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, you can do that.
- Light up Cinderella
so that she loses her
concentration on her Invisibility.
- I mean, I wanna...
- [Murph] Or I think
she's already out of it.
- I want Snow White's
concentration broken.
- [Emily] Oh, she is.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yes, and now Snow White has had...
'Cause she had another round
so she's had four rounds
of concentrating on this.
- Yeah.
- [Brennan] I'm gonna tell you right now,
if you wanna get all three,
you gotta get Tim, too.
You can get Scheherazade and Snow White.
- I'll take Scheherazade and Snow White.
- Okay, they're gonna make
Dex saves against this.
- I look down and you're
like... (mimics fuse hissing)
I'm like, wha, hey! Uh,
Pinocchio, Pinocchio, hey!
- Don't drink water, m*therf*cker!
- No, we're up here, me and
Pib! Me and Pib are up here!
(Zac groans pitifully)
(players laughing)
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Oh, you're down?
- Yeah, oh yeah. Pib's down.
- Are you covered in
thorns or what's your deal?
- I'm not dead but I am down.
- [Ally] Did Thumbelina help you too?
(Emily and Ally laughing)
- Okay, Snow White's
gonna make a Dex save.
That is a failure on Snow White.
Scheherazade's gonna make a Dex save.
Scheherazade succeeds. Go
ahead and roll 5d10 for me.
- Snow White. Come on, Snow White.
- Ay, ay, oh.
Cool, 17.
- Nice.
- 24.
- Ooh!
- 29.
- Ooh!
(dramatic music silences)
- 32.
- 32.
(Emily cheers)
- [Ally] Yes!
- 32.
- [Ally] Wow.
- Points of damage, and
that'll be 16 for Scheherazade.
Both of them looking messed up.
Snow White has a DC 16 Constitution save
that she has to make without advantage
to maintain concentration.
(Emily chuckles)
- Great.
- She needs a 14 or higher on the die.
- Boo!
- [Siobhan] Boo.
- Come on, come on, come on.
- [Murph] Boo!
- [Murph And Siobhan] Boo!
- [Brennan] 16.
- [Siobhan] God damn it.
- Wait, Mother Goose does
not have your reaction.
No, unfortunately not.
- I used all my sh*t immediately.
- You used it correctly.
- [Brennan] All good.
- It was correct.
- I ate all the popcorn
during the previews.
(players laughing)
- I feel sick.
- I feel sick,
and I don't wanna be here anymore.
- They put so much butter on that popcorn.
- That's your action,
Pinocchio. Anything else?
- Looking at everything one
more time, I don't think so.
- Having been the only
witness to the f*cking horror
that just happened with Sleeping Beauty,
Baba Yaga is gonna get her
head in the game a little bit
and is going to fly all the
way down for a contact spell.
and is going to fly all the
way down for a contact spell.
(Brennan mimics wind howling)
(dramatic music)
(player gasps)
Right here.
- What?
- Come on, Mama Crone, crit.
- What does she smell like?
- She doesn't crit.
She gets an 18 on the
die for a Dispel Magic
on Scheherazade.
- Yes!
- You see that she flies
down in her mortar.
Flies down to Scheherazade
and says, you must wake up!
Whap, and just smacks the
magic off of her and she goes,
(shudders) what the f*ck is going on?
- Can I, Emily, do an Insight check
as to what spell just got dispelled?
- You know it's Geas.
You know it's Geas.
- I knew it! I knew it!
- [Brennan] No concentration.
- No concentration, okay.
- You know, it takes a minute to cast,
perfect non-combat spell, you
see it coming a mile away.
Okay, that is Baba Yaga's turn.
Gerard, that's gonna be you.
- Okay, I am restrained at
the moment, but can I see,
'cause I might do things differently
depending on how much I can
move if I can free myself.
Can I see your ruler?
- Yes, yes, absolutely.
- [Murph] Can I see something?
- You hit Brennan in the head with it.
- Whap.
- [Brennan] Pow.
- Okay, I'm gonna do that.
- Sneak attack, b*tch!
- So, (sighs) that's...
Get on the level.
- [Lou] Get up in the mix.
Get up in the mix!
- Okay.
The idea I'm thinking of doing
is so confusing that I'm...
Well, first things first, I
need to get out of this hair.
- [Ally] Yeah.
- I need to get out of here.
- (laughs) You need to get out of hair.
- You're in a Herbal
- [Emily] I need to get
out of hair. (laughs)
- Essences commercial right now.
- I know I'm a big frog, but I'm still-
- Hair there and everywhere
- Kind of a prince.
- I need to get out of hair.
- And this is too much.
- I'll say this, so you are
restrained, speed's zero.
Attack rolls against
creature have advantage.
Creature's attack rolls have disadvantage.
So yeah, Gerard will have disadvantage.
Yes, it's bad to be in the hair,
but you can also attack Rapunzel.
She's within five feet of you as well.
- Okay, but do I have
disadvantage when I'm-
- [Brennan] You would have disadvantage
on attacking her, yeah.
- Okay, so I don't think-
- But you're in Elody's zone
that does something, right?
- Yes, Elody's zone does do something.
- Do I know what that is?
- She's going to give you a
bonus to your attack rolls
and saving throws.
- Oh, that's great, okay.
Great, okay, that does
change what I might do.
Question, so I have an
ability called Know Your Enemy
which means you need a
minute to look at somebody,
but Rapunzel came to me at the lake.
- Sure.
- [Murph] I think I've
actually interacted with her
more than most of the princesses.
- Hell yeah.
- So if you spend one minute
observing or interacting
with another creature
outside of combat you
can learn information
about its capabilities compared
to your own, so Strength,
Dex, Con, AC, or HP.
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.
- That's really what I
care about is current HP.
- Current HP? She's sitting at 25.
(Ally gasps)
- Sick, okay, I'm just going-
- And also for initiative,
she goes right after you.
- [Siobhan] Oh my gosh.
- Okay, we're gonna deal
with this problem.
- Yeah, come on, Gerard!
- Okay, first things first.
Expend one superiority
die and use a bonus action
on your turn
(Siobhan and Ally laughing)
to gain advantage on the next attack roll.
So I'll do the first one
against the hair with advantage
just to-
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.
- [Murph] Okay.
- Come on, Gerard.
- [Murph] I just really-
- Come on, Gerard.
- [Murph] Don't want to
start this off poorly.
- Yeah, don't start it off poorly.
(Ally laughing)
- Thank God I rolled with
advantage. 16, it's already 23.
- That's a hit.
(Emily cheers)
- Hot start, hot start!
- [Murph] Then-
- But wait, did you roll
that with advantage or?
- I rolled it with advantage
'cause of feinting attack.
- Yes, you hit the hair, and
what's the minimum amount
of damage you can do?
- Yeah, I would do nine
at minimum.
- [Brennan] Okay.
♪ Come on, Gerard ♪
- Lord knows I'm gonna roll a one.
Oh, no, no, no, see.
14 damage.
- You are out of the hair.
(Emily cheers)
- You're outta hair.
- Wait, what is your natural weapon?
- [Emily] You're outta
hair. Get outta hair!
- [Ally] Get outta hair.
- Oh, I guess...
I guess I'm just sh**ting my tongue out
and breaking hair with
my tongue, blep, blep.
- Yeah, your first attack
is just secreting mucus
until the hair slides off.
- Ew!
- No one look!
- [Brennan] It's good, it's good.
- f*cking disgusting.
- Let's see that back with subtext.
- Don't.
(cast laughing)
That one needed to be a bonus action.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- But I will do...
First things first, I'll
take my second attack
on Rapunzel herself.
- Cool.
- Which one rolled decent? That
one rolled better this time.
Oh, yes!
- Ooh!
- Oh, 27 to hit.
- You absolutely hit.
- [Murph] Okay.
- [Ally] Yes!
- Gonna do Distracting Strike
which isn't super helpful,
but just adds the d8 to the damage.
- [Brennan] Okay.
(Murph hums)
(dice rattle)
(suspenseful music)
- Come on.
- [Siobhan] Come on.
- Come on.
Okay.
- [Lou] All right.
- We got 17 off the bat.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Action surge.
(Brennan cheers)
- [Siobhan] Nice.
- That's my boy.
- Come on!
- Then I'm going to just
take another attack.
- Just got that dog on her.
- [Lou] That dog on her.
- Would Distracting Strike
give yourself advantage on her?
- No, I believe it has
to be somebody else.
I think I don't really have
anything to help myself.
- Okay.
- Can you make Elody attack?
- I used my bonus action to
do the first feinting attack.
- [Ally] Oh, yeah, yeah. Cool.
- Yeah, to add...
And the next attack
roll against the target
by an attacker other than you.
- Oh, okay, okay.
- So that was just a damage thing
so I'll just make the
next attack straight,
but I do have Bless, come on.
- Elody adds a d4 to you as well.
- Ooh!
- Appreciate ya.
- For the attack?
- For the attack, yeah.
- [Ally] And the damage?
- No, just the attack.
- [Ally] Just the attack.
(suspenseful music)
- 22?
- [Brennan] 22 hits.
- Yeah!
- You just need-
- [Murph] Thank God.
- Eight, seven damage?
- You need eight points
of damage in this attack.
- Great, not taking any chances.
Doing another Battle Master thing.
- [Ally] Yes.
- Yeah.
- [Lou] All the Battle Master things.
- Just a Battle Master thing.
- Ooh! (claps)
- 12, 20 damage.
- [Ally] Yes!
(Emily cheers)
- Please describe for me what happens.
You don't have a sword anymore.
You're just a giant frog.
- You said I didn't have any friends,
but my wife is my friend.
(players laughing)
And I eat her.
(players laughing)
- You see, yeah, Rapunzel
goes like, (screams franticly)
as just feet disappear
in this massive frog.
And she looks at Elody and says,
your husband, this guy, you like him?
He's good? This is good for you? (screams)
And then it's another, like, 30-
- Just emotionless frog just-
- (gulps froggily) And it's
a long time of just hair.
- It's a lot-
- Ew, ew!
- This is the moment.
This is the horror part of the campaign.
- [Murph] This is the horror part.
- This is the horror part as
a frog is swallowing hair.
- Pib is unconscious,
but you see some throw up
just kind of leak out of his mouth.
- Ew!
- I honestly would have preferred
to see the Thumbelina thing.
- Yeah.
- Way woulda preferred.
- Way preferred.
- The fact that I can
see this is f*cked up.
- [Brennan] Incredible.
- This is, I need a bio break.
- Rapunzel is defeated.
- [Emily] Yeah!
- Incredible.
- [Murph] Technically,
I have one more attack.
- Take it on Tom.
- [Lou] Yeah.
- No, Tom.
- Eat Tom!
- Can I just take...
Normally, I would have a longbow.
Can we just flavor that as my tongue?
- Sure.
- Really sucks
when it's far away?
- [Brennan] Yeah, love it.
- You have movement, wouldn't you?
- [Siobhan] Longbow is-
- You haven't used your movement yet.
- I haven't used my movement.
- [Brennan] Yeah, that's true.
- And can you hop?
- And longbow is 150 feet.
- [Murph] I can hop.
- Just to that little side thing?
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- I can hop.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Let's see.
How far can I get with 30 feet?
- [Lou] This dog can hop.
- I just...
About there.
♪ Joy to the world ♪
- [Brennan] You can get right here.
- Okay, I'll get up there.
(Ally gasps)
(Brennan mimics frog hopping)
And I'll take a shitty super
faraway tongue attack at-
- Go for it.
- [Murph] At Snow White.
- Yeah, and I think
you're firing straight up
across these books.
We're gonna call her as
having a little bit of cover.
- [Murph] Cool.
- [Brennan] So go ahead
and make your attack roll.
- No way.
- Okay.
- [Murph] Absolutely no way.
- (mimics arrow slicing
air) Fire your bow,
but Rapunzel is defeated.
The whole front of the chamber
has been cleared of enemy princesses.
Mira turns to you.
- Sorry, I moved you.
I was trying to get you
out of the way of the hair,
but Gerard ate all the hair.
I don't know if you saw that.
- She says, horrible, I
didn't want to see that.
- Hairible.
- She calls up.
Mira looks to you sort of
like, what should we do next?
- Hey, hop on my back.
Or if you have an
action, save your action.
I'll run us into battle.
You look like you could
deal a little death,
and death is hungry.
- She looks at you looking at her feet
and is like, good call.
- [Emily] Yeah.
- And jumps up on your back.
- I told you I'd be your mount one day.
(cast laughing)
- Mira's going to ready an action
to attack whatever you get close to.
At the top of the next round,
At the top of the next round,
Pib, I'm gonna need a death
saving throw from you.
- [Lou] Come on, Pib.
- [Siobhan] Come on, Pib.
Where's that nat 20?
- That is a 15.
- [Ally] Nice.
- [Brennan] That's a success.
- [Siobhan] We'll take it.
- Mother Goose, that's going to be you.
- Okay, I am going to...
So I'm...
If I move down to Pib
that five feet, I'm still,
I'm not getting an attack
of opportunity, right?
'Cause it's just Snow
White or it's just...
- I think I Dimension Doored to you.
I should be within five, like-
- You're within, yeah, Pib's
within five feet of you, yeah.
- Okay, yeah, so I can just
cast Cure Wounds on Pib?
- [Brennan] Yeah, absolutely.
- Okay, cool, cool.
Then I'm gonna cast a...
We'll do a third-level Cure Wounds.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- So that is 3d8 plus four.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- So we will do...
(dice tapping table)
12 points of health.
- [Brennan] 12 points of health to Pib.
That's your action. Bonus action.
- Bonus action...
I will look up at...
- You won't be able to cast another spell
because you cast Cure Wounds.
- Yes, yes.
Is Vicious Mockery a spell?
- No, it's a cantrip.
- Oh, it's a cantrip. You can
cast Vicious Mockery, yeah.
- Okay, so I cast, I look up
and I cast Vicious Mockery
on Snow White by saying-
- Oh, but Vicious Mockery is an action.
- [Brennan] Yeah, so
you need a bonus action.
- Oh, I thought it was a bonus. Gotcha.
Okay, then I will chill.
- Could you have Healing Worded Pib?
If you wanna do a bonus action heal.
- [Siobhan] Yeah.
- That's smart.
But what's the difference here?
- [Zac] It's less health, but-
- It's a d4 instead of a d8,
but at least it would bring him back up.
- Okay, yeah, can we do that?
- Let's do that. Go ahead.
So you can cast that Healing Word.
Go ahead and roll what
the HP would actually be.
- Those cute, little d4s from you.
Are they sharp? Does it hurt?
- No, they're pretty soft. Gentle d4s.
Okay.
- Oh, it's 12 still.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- [Siobhan] Lovely.
- Awesome.
And you're gonna cast Vicious Mockery.
- Then I cast Vicious Mockery
on Snow White and I say,
everyone is gone except for you.
Your party seems to be
dropping like flies.
- She looks down at Cinderella
right underneath her
and says, I don't know that I agree.
She has to make a Wisdom saving
throw or take some damage.
- Yeah.
(die taps table)
- Fails the Wisdom saving throw.
You're gonna roll 2d4 psychic damage.
- Great.
(dice tap table)
Great, five.
- Five damage to Snow White.
The main thing here is
the concentration check.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
- And she has disadvantage
on a future attack.
- On a future attack from, gotcha.
- The next attack roll with disadvantage.
- Cool, she gets a plus two to this.
Eight or higher she makes
the save 'cause it's a DC 10.
So seven or lower and
she loses concentration
otherwise on her turn
she'll add a fifth round
to this spell.
- [Lou] Yikes.
- And you know the
Stepmother's gonna show up
and we're gonna have you
try to undo what she did.
- [Ally] Yeah.
(die taps Box of Doom)
- [Brennan] That's a three on the die.
- Yes!
(Emily cheers)
- [Siobhan] Nice.
- With a cantrip.
- [Ally] Yes!
- Mother Goose,
you break concentration.
- Yes! (claps)
So do I say that dumb
little thing of like,
"You're dropping like flies."
And she's like, (scoffs) huh? (laughs)
- [Brennan] She does take a look at the...
- She thinks about it.
- She takes a look at
the board and is like,
well, this is not ideal.
(players laughing)
Breaks concentration,
whips around to look at you
and you just see spectral
dwarves appearing all around you
and she says, fine, we'll start over.
So there's four rounds of
this spell that she's worked
sort of hanging in the air,
but you see that within that
she turns around and it looks
like some sort of chaos is unleashed and-
- Oh my goodness.
- [Siobhan] What the f*ck?
- [Brennan] (mimics magical
reverberations) As the ink
begins to spin and
swirl faster and faster.
- [Ally] Because she has to start over?
- It looks like the spell
that she was going to cast
is starting to manifest
and the ink is like,
swirling all around and about
to go in other directions.
Anyone that wants to,
make a Perception check
right at this point.
- Why not?
(dice tapping tables)
- [Ally] Yes!
- 16, nice.
- 27.
- I got a six.
- [Brennan] 27, 16.
- 23.
- 23. Pib, you are back up.
(Zac groans)
You see the ink
moving all around, you see
ripples moving through the paper,
no longer kind of like, random
but almost like the papers
are moving according to
some kind of scheme or plan.
Mother Goose, you look up and
see as the ink begins to twirl
you feel the attention of
things beyond your understanding
focus on this place.
As the spell has been
interrupted, you feel them moving
with an ancient malevolence as
if to destroy this universe.
with an ancient malevolence as
if to destroy this universe.
And Rosamund, on a 16, you hear
noise coming from elsewhere
And Rosamund, on a 16, you hear
noise coming from elsewhere
in The Lines Between.
Mother Goose, that is your turn.
Incredible that you broke concentration.
Cinderella is going to now go.
Cool, Cinderella vanishes
and momentarily comes
back out of invisibility
having moved to this height
advantage over Scheherazade.
She's gonna take her attacks
against Scheherazade.
- Wow, turn on her immediately.
- Oh wow, et tu, Brute.
- You guys have no loyalty.
You guys have no care for
the people in your community.
- I can't see you, but
you know what I see?
Your f*cking true colors.
(cast laughing)
- She drops Scheherazade,
object interaction
snatches the book away from her.
- Wow.
- [Emily] Oh!
- Oh, drop like...
- Mm-hmm, yeah.
Scheherazade's making death saves, yes.
As Cinderella snatches the book away.
- Is it a physical drop?
- You see Cinderella using
the blunt haft of her spear
- You see Cinderella using
the blunt haft of her spear
and clocking Scheherazade
across the back of the head
to basically knock her to zero.
- Got it.
- And then snatch the book
away from her. So, is now standing
with the book next to Snow White
and then vanishes,
becoming invisible again.
That's going to be Elody who's going to
just have to begin sort of
surging up the ziggurat.
- [Siobhan] Could she
do a Persuasion check?
- Against the princesses?
Yeah, potentially.
- Can she grab Tom?
- [Brennan] Grab Tom there?
- [Siobhan] Oh, yeah.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
She'll go five, 10.
- [Lou] That's our friend!
- [Emily] Mostly Gerard's,
though. Him and Gerard-
- [Murph] We're very close.
- [Ally] That's Gerard's boy.
- [Siobhan] Really
protective of that friendship
like he kinda doesn't want
us to be friends with Tom.
(Emily laughs)
- Tom's just, yeah.
- We could all hang out.
- Everyone can hang out with Tom but-
- Red, that's gonna be you
as Elody charges to the
base of the ziggurat here.
- Okay, what kinda
distance do I have to cover
to get me and Mira up in this?
- [Brennan] Up in the mix?
- [Emily] Yeah.
- [Brennan] So let's see here, right?
Let's see, 5, 10, 15, 20,
25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50,
55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80-
- [Emily] But let's assume
I can jump this kinda stuff.
- [Brennan] Oh, sure, sure, sure.
- [Emily] You know?
- [Brennan] Yeah.
So maybe like, so we go
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,
So maybe like, so we go
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,
35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60.
- [Emily] Uh-huh.
- [Brennan] And then this is
crazy difficult terrain here.
So it's like, to move up a level is like-
- What if someone had
a climb speed, though?
- [Brennan] Climb speed
would effectively...
Right now it takes 15 feet of movement
to go from one to the next.
A climb speed would make that 10
'cause it's like, that's
a five-foot square
and that's a five-foot square.
- So can I get the total
that it would take to get...
- [Brennan] So let's
see, we said that's 60.
So that would be 65, 70,
75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100,
105, 110,
115, 120.
- 120, we can do that.
- Whew, damn!
- Let's see who I wanna be today.
- Beautiful way to wake up every morning.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
Who do I wanna be today?
- [Emily] You know?
- We should be asking
ourselves that every day.
- [Emily] Let's go giant hyena.
- [Zac] Open your closet.
- We're going giant hyena.
- Giant hyena kinda day.
- 'Cause I have Longstrider
and my extra movement
transfers to my thing
so that means I'll have a speed of 70.
So I could just be dashing to
get Mira into range to attack.
So I could just be dashing to
get Mira into range to attack.
- Hell yeah, unbelievable.
And that speed of 70, would
you still have a climb speed
in that form or no?
- In that form,
no, I wouldn't have a climb speed.
- I think it might not still be...
- 'Cause it would be 140 feet with dash.
- Okay, well, the brown
bear does have a climb speed
so I could do that form.
- Okay.
And what's the speed on the brown bear?
- The brown bear's gonna
be 60 feet of movement
and then 50 feet for
climb so I could get 110.
Oh, that wouldn't get
us in range, would it?
- No, I think it would if you took a dash.
If you did a dash action.
- Yeah, okay, cool.
- And she's holding her turn?
- Yeah, yeah.
So I'm like, basically taking a dash
to get Mira into range.
- [Brennan] Amazing.
Bounding from this platform, (pants)
leaping over all these things,
scrambling up the side,
Little Red Riding Hood,
you arrive at the top
of the ziggurat with
Mira right next to you.
- All right, Mira, do your worst.
- Okay, Mira looks at you as you're like,
bounding down the steps.
You see she says,
Cinderella or Snow White?
- Snow White.
- She leaps right here,
tosses her knife and is
gonna kick Snow White
three times in the head.
(impacts pound)
- Yes!
- Yes.
- The Little Mermaid, okay.
- [Zac] Make it the third wish.
- (laughs) Okay.
- I feel like since
Cinderella is invisible
it's more realistic that
we go after Snow White.
- [Zac] Mm-hmm.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Probably better overall.
- I have one hit point.
I'm all my own and
there are people coming.
- [Zac] Get over here.
- I am gonna do my best
to get over there.
(Emily laughs)
- I know, Sleeping Beauty's
not in a great position.
You see as Mira starts
kicking, very significant.
Snow White throws up
a shield as a reaction
and only gets hit one time by Mira.
Mira is going to deal...
(intense music)
(dice rattling)
She deals 12 points of damage
to Snow White with one kick
and knocks her prone.
- [Ally] Nice!
- Yeah!
- Bam, falls to the ground.
Excellent, that's the Little Mermaid.
And Red, that's action
and movement from you.
Any bonus actions?
- Wild Shaping was my bonus action.
- [Brennan] Oh, yes. Gotcha, cool.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Scheherazade is stable.
That's gonna be Snow White's turn.
She's gonna use half her
movement to stand up.
She's gonna use half her
movement to stand up.
What is she gonna do?
She's in a bad situation. Bad situation.
Well, looking at the person
that just knocked her down,
I think she probably is gonna
go after the Little Mermaid.
- Would you say I'm
within five feet of her?
Could I use Sentinel?
- You are not within
five feet of Snow White.
Yeah, Snow White's gonna
take her attacks on Mira.
(dice rattling)
(tense music)
It's only one hit for plenty of damage.
(energetic music)
Snow White blasts Mira,
and I'm gonna need Little Red
Riding Hood, Mother Goose,
and I'm gonna need Little Red
Riding Hood, Mother Goose,
and Pib, and you're
way down there, Gerard.
I need all of you to give
me Dexterity saving throws.
- Okay.
- Do I have to or no?
- [Brennan] You do not.
- Okay.
- [Zac] If I was knocked
unconscious, do I have Bless still?
- Yeah, you still have it
'cause it's related to Mother Goose.
- And this is a saving throw
against something I can see, right?
- Yes, this is correct.
(menacing music)
(dice tapping table)
- Whew.
- 22.
- 20.
- 29.
- Whew!
- [Ally] Nice!
(Emily laughs)
- Okay, all of you take 15
halved to seven points of damage.
- And it was a Dex save?
- [Brennan] It was a Dex save.
- So I don't take any damage.
- Oh sh*t, that's correct.
You don't take any damage at all.
Spectral dwarves cleave through the air.
- Ah, oh!
- (laughs) As you, meow.
That's gonna be Snow White's turn.
She just tries to finish you
all off as fast as possible.
Tom Thumb, 5, 10, 15, 20-
- [Emily] (laughs) I love the hustle.
- [Zac] Jesus, that must
take f*cking forever.
- [Emily] When he arrives,
when he finally gets here,
it's gonna be great.
- [Lou] He just rips nonstop.
- [Emily] He has three attacks.
- He takes out climbing gear
like pitons and ropes. (grunts)
Just getting up as fast as possible.
- [Ally] He's so jacked.
- So f*cking jacked.
Rosamund, that's gonna be you.
- Snow White still has a shield up.
- We can't see what's-her-name unless...
- And I can't see...
- Get over here.
- Cinderella.
I am going to bonus action Zephyr Strike.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- So I can attack Snow White
with advantage.
- Okay.
- I crit.
- Yay! (claps)
- Oh, oh, oh!
- Feels f*cking good!
- Yes you f*cking did!
- How does that feel, b*tch?
How does it feel to get
crit against, b*tch?
- Yes, you did.
With the Bless, 21.
- With a Bless, 21.
- [Brennan] Oh my f*cking God.
- So that's 4d8.
- [Brennan] Oh my f*cking God.
- So that's 4d8.
- The Zephyr Strike and the crit.
- The Zephyr Strike
plus the crit plus my...
- Swarm?
- My Piercer.
Critical hit I add an extra die.
- [Lou] Mm.
- Wow! Okay.
- Wait, hang on, hang on, it's 1d8...
It's 5d8 because I double
my Zephyr Strike as well.
(Brennan laughs incredulously)
- Nice.
- f*cking tight.
- And she still has to do a Con save.
- [Ally] Yeah, yeah, of course.
- Even if she makes it through this,
which she's not gonna
make it through this.
- Even with her shield up.
- Even with her shield.
Can't do anything about a
nat f*cking 20. Unbelievable.
- Wait, has she been hit yet?
- She's been hit a couple
times. You've hit her.
- Great, okay.
Then I'll do the extra
2d6 as well just in case.
It would just be really nice-
- [Brennan] Wait, the extra 2d6...
- Oh, from my swarm.
- [Brennan] Does your
swarm normally do 1d6?
- It normally does 1d6.
- [Brennan] Cool, now it does 2d6.
- Yes.
- [Brennan] Great, okay.
This is so many f*cking dice.
- Yeah.
- Is that a roll?
- [Brennan] And you can
reroll. I think you can-
- And I can reroll one so
I will reroll one... this.
- And I can reroll one so
I will reroll one... this.
Okay, that was good.
16.
- It's like...
- 26,
34.
- Wow!
- 39 damage.
- Ooh.
(Emily and Murph clapping)
- Yeah.
- Just try. Just try
to stay up, Snow White.
- Just try.
- Just try-
- [Brennan] 39.
- 39 damage.
- So that's a DC 19
Constitution saving throw.
- [Siobhan] Yes.
- You step out
and all of you see for the
first time this Sleeping Beauty
basically being like, carried
by briars surrounding her.
- [Ally And Zac] Oh!
- Wow, I wonder
what Thumbelina's Revivify did
that all the briars came out.
- [Zac] That's awesome that Thumbelina-
- I don't know, she's
actually just standing
right behind this thing.
- Oh, okay. Great.
- You can't see her
'cause she's really small.
- She is pretty small.
- [Lou] Yeah.
- That must be it.
- Honestly, I'm just gonna roll for fear.
Okay, you're fine.
- (laughs) I'm gonna roll for respect.
- 39 damage in a single hit to Snow White.
She gets a plus two so to save,
she needs a 17 or higher on the die.
- [Siobhan] Yes.
- 12 and lower,
she's dead instantly.
- [Lou] Mm, mm.
- [Ally] Come on.
- [Siobhan] Come on.
- Die instantly.
- [Emily] Die.
- [Lou] Die instantly.
- Eight on the die.
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Sleeping Beauty, please
describe what this looks like
as the necromantic visage
of Snow White turns to you.
- [Ally] Oh my God!
- And faces you
across the b*ttlefield.
- An arrow pierces across the sky,
turns into a nest of briars,
and just swallows her whole.
- (mimics wind howling) Briars. (screams)
Screeching, the sound of tearing flesh
and the briars vanish into nothingness
and Snow White is gone.
- Oh, thank God.
And then because I just
did Zephyr Strike attack,
I'm gonna take 60 feet of movement.
- Nice.
- So I'm gonna move towards
you guys as far as I can.
- [Zac] 5, 10, 15, can you jump this way?
- [Brennan] Yeah, you-
- [Siobhan] Can I jump?
- [Brennan] Yeah, you
can jump. Absolutely.
- [Siobhan] Okay, great.
- Someone else should do this.
- Sure, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,
30, 35, 40, what's your speed?
- [Siobhan] 60 feet.
- Oh, yeah.
- [Siobhan] 'Cause with Zephyr
Strike I get to move 30-
- [Brennan] 45, 50, 55, 60.
- Yes, and actually I
do have another attack.
- [Brennan] Sick!
- You're in the mix.
- Is there anybody else I
can attack? I mean, I...
- Cinderella is there.
- Cinderella, I guess I
would roll with disadvantage
'cause she's invisible?
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- But I know where she is.
- [Brennan] You know where
she is, but she's invisible
so you would roll with disadvantage.
- Great, I'll do it.
- [Brennan] Give it a shot.
- Two nat 20s.
- [Emily] Two crits.
(Siobhan groans awkwardly)
- Yeah, that's probably
not gonna hit. That's a 17.
- But you do hit the armor.
You hit a piece of...
You hear a tink off the glass.
- Okay, she's right there!
If you're next to her.
- I take note, cool.
- Pinocchio, that's gonna be you.
- I think I look over at Rosamund. Okay.
- How you doing?
- Uh, amazing, great.
- Hey, we're both kinda made of wood now!
That's kinda fun, huh?
- Yeah, (laughs) um...
- Twinsies!
- Twin, yeah.
We're wood twinsies!
- You're like string and wood
and I'm kinda like stringy wood.
- Yeah, so you got just,
is that you? Is that you?
- I think we're gonna
think about it after.
- Afterward, okay!
- Yeah.
- So Cinderella's the only one left.
- Cinderella's the only one left.
Rosamund heard beings
approaching from outside.
- I'm gonna yell to,
Stepsis, what are you doing?
Please!
Work with us!
(haunting music)
- (sighs) Go ahead. Are you
taking your action to do it?
- Yes.
The world you want, it's not
worth fighting for anymore.
- This is definitely gonna be Box of Doom.
You're rolling straight.
- Okay.
- I'll let you know the DC
for this is high. It's 20.
- 20?
- Would normally be 25
because she's one of the
generals of this group,
but you do have a connection to her.
- [Ally] What do you have to add it to?
- Five so it's 15.
- Oh, okay.
- Are you blessed?
- I am blessed,
but it's an ability check.
- Oh, right, right, right.
- [Brennan] Doesn't add anything.
- Season one.
- Okay, so this has gotta be
a 15 or higher on the die.
(Lou blows on die optimistically)
(Emily laughing)
- Get 'em out.
(epic music)
(die taps Box of Doom)
(energy powers down)
(cast laughing)
You have to stop doing that move!
You gotta stop it! You gotta quit-
- [Murph] You're more cursed
than I am. You're more cursed.
- Can I use my bonus action as well?
- [Emily] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [Brennan] Yeah, give me a disadvantage.
- Great.
- [Brennan] Okay, so now
you're gonna roll 2d20
and they both have to be 15 or higher.
- Right, yep.
- [Zac] What was that last
one? Probably good, right?
- If you do the risk...
- [Siobhan] (laughs) It
was probably really good.
- It was 19.
(Lou exhales on dice expectantly)
- [Brennan] Both gotta beat 15 or higher.
(epic heroic music)
- I'm gonna roll that one.
(Ally gasps)
- Oh, sh*t.
- [Brennan] Okay, that one's a three so...
(players laughing)
- [Murph] That's awesome.
- You know, just...
(die taps Box of Doom)
- [Siobhan] Just to know.
- Okay, neither one woulda worked.
And I'll use Call of Destiny.
- [Brennan] What's that?
- I'll use of Call of Destiny
on the disadvantage roll so I can-
- [Brennan] But what were
the two rolls in there?
The two rolls were...
- A three and a 14.
- [Brennan] So even if you got a nat 20,
we would use the 14.
- Got it.
- [Brennan] Right.
- [Murph] Oh boy.
- [Emily] Oh, I see.
- [Brennan] If that makes sense.
- [Emily] Gotcha.
- You look up.
Cinderella beholds you
shouting down at her,
Cinderella beholds you
shouting down at her,
just sort of like, heaving,
looking at the dead,
looking at Snow White suddenly being gone
holding this book in her hand like,
not even necessarily being sure of like,
how the magic is supposed to happen now.
And the Baba Yaga is going to go next.
- [Lou] Oh, I use my movement
to get to the base of the ziggurat.
- Okay, so you go 5, 10, 15-
- [Lou] I don't need to
climb. I'll stay down.
- Stay down here? Cool.
Okay, sick. Amazing.
That's going to be...
(adventurous instrumental music)
Okay, Baba Yaga
(adventurous instrumental music continues)
is going to...
(dice rattling)
(adventurous instrumental music continues)
With disadvantage, Cinderella
turns to you and says,
what have you done?
You have no idea what you're doing!
Lowers the visor, goes invisible,
and Baba Yaga goes, no, no!
And reaches out, and her arms extend
till she has like a 20-foot wingspan.
She says, you somewhere here! (grunts)
And grabs something you can't
see, but you see sudden,
like, wounds appearing
on Baba Yaga's arms.
She's like, oh, you don't
want a hug? (growls)
And you hear the cracking of glass
as she flies straight up
into the sky corkscrewing
and going, (laughs wildly)
as she starts to like,
bear hug crush Cinderella
flying into the sky.
- [Siobhan] Like, not even using magic-
- [Ally] She's just WWE, like... (laughs)
- [Brennan] f*ck that, f*ck that.
She's literally going like,
corkscrew upside down
screaming. (screams excitedly)
- Six Flags.
- [Brennan] She's full Six-
- Six Flags Baba Yaga.
- She was our ride here,
but she's still taking us on a ride.
- Yeah. That is Baba Yaga's turn.
She and Cinderella are just like,
scrapping in the sky, essentially.
What an unreal thing to
have to put on the field.
(players laughing)
- [Siobhan] Beautiful.
- Beautiful. How about it?
- [Siobhan] Dance of destiny.
(haunting music)
- Great.
- [Murph] Jesus Christ.
- So high up, just. (screams)
Like, mad cackling, give me hug back!
(Emily laughing)
And at the end of the Baba Yaga's turn...
And at the end of the Baba Yaga's turn...
- Something's coming.
Something wicked this way comes.
(intense creepy music)
- [Ally] Oh no, I knew it.
(players groaning)
- [Murph] Oh, boo.
(pounding sinister music)
(pounding sinister music continues)
(sinister music fades)
(pulsing sinister music)
- These fairies appear,
turn to face the chaos
here and look at the ink.
You see that in the lead,
The Fairy With Turquoise Hair
goes, what have you done?
What have you done? Stop them!
And begin to surge forward
as once again the ink turns.
A shadow extends over the hall,
and you hear a deep thrum begin to emanate
from the pages swirling below.
And that's all for this episode.
- [Emily] Oh my God.
- Of Dimension 20.
- How are we gonna finish this?
We have so many people to fight.
- Hey, no one said it was gonna be easy
here in the Neverafter.
Join us next week as we
conclude this epic combat
here in the center of story.
- [Zac And Emily] See you in the stars.
- [Siobhan And Brennan]
See you in the stars.
- See you in the stars.
- See you in the stars.
(haunting music fades)
- Please let us fix this
before it's too late.
- It's already too late. We can't go back!
- Would you throw away happily ever after
for a chance to face this?
- Yeah, because happily
ever after isn't real.
- I don't like my story!
Boom, boom!
The books of this place spring to life,
just form walls in front of you.
Each of you has total cover.
(Ally gasps)
(Emily laughs)
- We're about to have a holiday.
(rocket whistles)
(fire crackles)
(dramatic music)
- Either it's too late or it's not,
and either way I'd rather be with you.
Ink swirls around you. Your
friends are dead and dying.
- I want to release the spell now.
- All of you feel the
corruption rise within you.
Four, four, one, one, two, five.
17 points of this corruption.
(liquid sloshing)
On an 18, 19, or 20,
your spell takes effect.
- Oh my God.
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues)
(ominous music fades)
