Arcade Ambush (Ep. 14)

0:00:00 Gorgug: My parents are working on this big power source, are we still looking for a power source or anything, or does

0:00:04 Adaine: Oh for the palimpsest.

0:00:05 Biz: We could hook this bad boy up to the new arcade. We could get this fucking palimpsest cracked in no time with the amount of juice running through that place.

0:00:14 Brennan: You see that there is a little video game console, it's called Lucky Stones, and you see that a little halfling girl appears on the screen and goes

0:00:21 Video Game Girl: Hi! I'm Penny, wanna play?

0:00:25 Biz: We get to call the shots when they're in here.

0:00:28 Riz: Can I, can I see it?

0:00:29 Biz: Are you in? Cause you feel like a cool guy.

0:00:32 Riz: Dude, I am in.

0:00:34 Biz: Take a look, go for it, what do you think?

0:00:36 Murph: I take it, I pull my gun out on him. (laughing) [END RECAP] (quiet humming and chiming) (owl screeching and growling)

0:00:46 Brennan: Welcome back to Fantasy High! My name is Brennan Lee Mulligan. These are our intrepid heroes, say hi intrepid heroes.

0:00:54 Brennan: For now. (chuckling)

0:00:57 Zac: We might not be intrepid after this? (nervous laughing)

0:01:00 Brennan: We find ourselves at the arcade at the Elm Valley Mall. In the back room around this giant power structure, filled with glowing crystals, Biz Glitterdew and Riz Gukgak face off. Last session, Riz pulled a gun. We are going to begin with a box of doom roll!

0:01:19 Murph: What!

0:01:20 Siobhan: Already?

0:01:22 Brennan: This is mostly in your guys’ favor. It is going to determine whether or not Riz gets a surprise round.

0:01:30 Murph: Oh, dope.

0:01:30 Brennan: On Biz, what's going to happen is this. Riz, you're going to roll Deception. Biz is going to roll Insight, which is Wisdom. Biz gets a minus 1 to this roll.

0:01:44 Murph: Okay, makes sense. He’s not good at picking up on cues.

0:01:48 Ally: And your Deception is plus 1.

0:01:50 Murph: My Deception is- oh it's Deception, okay, my Deception’s not great but-

0:01:53 Brennan: Plus 1, you need to get more than less than 2 than him.

0:01:57 Murph: (chuckles) Okay.

0:01:57 Lou: What? Brennan and Murph roll inside the Box of Doom. Brennan gets a 7.

0:02:01 Murph: 14, yes! (cheering)

0:02:04 Brennan: Our old clueless friend Biz, who thought he had a true friend in Riz Gukgak, is about to get shot. (Murphing laughing)

0:02:13 Emily: (sarcastically) I feel so bad for him.

0:02:15 Siobhan: Don’t.

0:02:15 Zac: Are you using your cool gun?

0:02:17 Siobhan: Oh yeah using a dope gun.

0:02:17 Murph: I am using my cool gun, is my cool gun different?

0:02:21 Brennan: Your cool gun is a magical weapon.

0:02:22 Murph: Dope, so I say,

0:02:24 Riz: Alright, sorry Biz, you're a fucking creep!

0:02:29 Murph: And then I'm gonna try to, Insightful Fighting, try to get my Sneak Attack on him, so that's an 18 Insight, it's Insight versus Deception.

0:02:40 Brennan: Gotcha, you do not get Insight into Biz.

0:02:44 Murph: Fuck, alright, I'll just shoot him. (laughing)

0:02:47 Emily: Shoot him, point blank.

0:02:50 Murph: It landed on a corner. And I rolled a 1. (sad whoosh)

0:02:57 Siobhan: Oh shit. (gun shot)

0:02:58 Brennan: The gun, smoke comes out of the gun, and your hand as ping, ping, ping, ping, you see Biz goes,

0:03:04 Biz: (sighs) Man, I thought you were cool.

0:03:10 Brennan: His eyes start to spiral, (sparkling fairy magic noises) glitter and color start to ooze out of his fingers, everybody in the arcade sees the walls, wubb wubb, undulate, sparkle an insane phantasmagoria of rainbow, color, and endless space begins to enshroud the arcade. Where the machines end, the lights begin, and endless sound and noise occurs, is beyond your conception as it turns into this chaotic wonderland.

0:03:41 Biz: Alright time to throw down I guess.

0:03:44 Riz: (yelling across the arcade) Hey, guys, Biz is a bad guy.

0:03:45 Adaine: Yeah no duh!

0:03:47 Riz: I thought he was just a bad guy, like he sucked but he's a real bad guy.

0:03:51 Brennan: That's going to be Gorgug, your action.

0:03:53 Zac: Okay, can I make a Perception check on that case, with the prizes?

0:03:58 Brennan: Yes you can, go ahead and make a Perception check for me.

0:04:00 Zac: Okay. That is only a 10.

0:04:07 Brennan: There's some stuff in those cases, looks like some cool prizes and stuff.

0:04:10 Zac: Cool. (snickering)

0:04:13 Brennan: There's like a sword, and some like sneakers, and there's like a teddy bear, a fun teddy bear prize, and there's some like Nerf bullets, and some shittier, cheaper stuff, you know like marbles, and fucking jumpin, little jacks.

0:04:27 Emily: (pats Zac’s arm) I'll do one on my turn too.

0:04:28 Murph: Take the freakin sword, dude.

0:04:30 Zac: I'm going, kinda wanna leave the sword for Fabian, so I'm just gonna go into a rage and run into the next room.

0:04:41 Brennan: You enter a rage, run into the next room, awesome. Go ahead and move your character. You now have a speed of 40 so you can move eight squares in one movement.

0:04:48 Zac: Yeah so one, two, three four, five, six, seven, eight.

0:04:55 Brennan: Eight. So that's a movement action, if you wanna take another action you can you can use a dash, if you'd like.

0:05:00 Zac: I'm gonna dash.

0:05:02 Brennan: Hell yeah

0:05:02 Lou: Gonna dash.

0:05:04 Zac: So that's eight more, so one, can I move through my friends?

0:05:08 Brennan: You can move through your friends

0:05:09 Zac: (crosstalk) Two-

0:05:09 Brennan: (crosstalk) I'm gonna need you to make a Dexterity- Sorry, a Charisma saving throw.

0:05:13 Zac: Charisma, baby.

0:05:14 Emily: Why, because of the fantasmagoria?

0:05:15 Zac: And being in a rage is not as helpful?

0:05:19 Brennan: Not as helpful for that.

0:05:20 Zac: Okay so just, fuck, I have zero Charisma. Oh, nat 20. (cheering)

0:05:28 Brennan: Go ahead and keep moving, man. You are in a deep rage, whatever was about to happen does not happen.

0:05:33 Zac: So that was three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

0:05:38 Brennan: That's you, that's your turn. That is going to be, uh, (chuckles) Oh baby, you guys see that- (deep breath) (chuckling)

0:05:49 Ghosts: (breathy voice) We who gave our lives here defend the master.

0:05:58 Brennan: Ghosts leap from the video games, surrounding you, emerging. You see the ghosts are dripping with ectoplasm, their coke bottle glasses pushed up their nose, their pocket protectors full of pencils, little binders under their book, little references on T-shirts, or short sleeve button ups. (ghost cackling) You see two appear on either side of you guys here. Go ahead and let me know what Guardian of Faith does.

0:06:28 Ally: So they have to, that one that's near it, it's up to 10 feet, so what is that one square?

0:06:35 Brennan: Two squares.

0:06:36 Ally: Two squares, okay, so I guess just one of those is included. They have to make a Dexterity saving throw, if they fail they take 20 radiant damage, and if they pass they take 10.

0:06:48 Brennan: Gotcha, okay, and what's the DC on that?

0:06:51 Murph: 16.

0:06:53 Brennan: 16, Jesus. And it's a Wisdom save? Or Charisma?

0:06:59 Ally: Dexterity.

0:07:00 Brennan: Or Dexterity- None of the saves would've mattered anyway.

0:07:06 Zac: I think it's for 20?

0:07:08 Ally: Yeah so it hits for 20, up to 60, so this is the first hit.

0:07:12 Emily: Oh okay, that makes more sense.

0:07:13 Ally: So it only lasts for a little bit.

0:07:15 Brennan: You see that one of the nerds, this sort of young woman who’s got this little nerd T-shirt on, her hair kinda in her face, she goes,

0:07:23 Ghost: (chuckles) Uh, game on!

0:07:26 Brennan: The Giant Spectral Corn says,

0:07:30 Spectral Corn: (loudly) Chosen of the Corn God, Kristen shall not be denied, feel the mighty glow of my kernels!

0:07:39 Brennan: And this ghost is partially shredded by radiant light.

0:07:44 Ghost: (screams in pain) I'm not supposed to be out in the sun!

0:07:48 Ally: Cool.

0:07:48 Emily: Yo I shout in,

0:07:49 Fig: Corn God sucks! (laughing)

0:07:51 Kristen: (yelling) I kinda agree!

0:07:53 Fig: I like the scholars.

0:07:56 Brennan: These ghosts are gonna take some swings at you. One goes for Kristen, that's gonna be a miss. One goes for Adaine, what's your armor class?

0:08:03 Siobhan: 12.

0:08:04 Brennan: That's a miss.

0:08:05 Ally: Hell yeah,

0:08:06 Siobhan: Fucking nerd!

0:08:07 Brennan: Two are going for Gorgug,

0:08:11 Gorgug: What is happening?

0:08:13 Brennan: Oh, (laughing a little) they both miss, and two go for Riz. Riz, what's your AC?

0:08:19 Murph: 15.

0:08:21 Brennan: One of these ghosts reaches out and shreds you for… ooh. 23-

0:08:31 Murph: Uncanny Dodge!

0:08:32 Brennan: -23 points of necrotic damage, does uncanny dodge. I'm gonna need you to make a Wisdom saving throw.

0:08:37 Murph: Okay. (exhale) 5.

0:08:44 Brennan: One of the ghosts says,

0:08:44 Ghost: If you die here you can be my pal!

0:08:49 Brennan: And you are filled with such a deep fear of that fate, that you need more than anything to get out of this arcade.

0:08:54 Murph: Got it.

0:08:57 Brennan: That is now going to be Fabian.

0:09:01 Lou: Can I also do a perception check on the rewards?

0:09:04 Brennan: Yeah, you absolutely may.

0:09:08 Lou: (rolling) 13.

0:09:09 Brennan: Yeah, there's like some cool prizes in here. (laughing)

0:09:13 Brennan: There's like swords, and shoes, there's like a cool Frisbee-

0:09:16 Murph: Maybe that's like the ghosts’ unfinished business, is that they wanna win the prizes, fuckin give them a prize, man.

0:09:23 Lou: Can I go take a look at the sword?

0:09:26 Brennan: Yeah, your Perception check is taking a look at the sword, it's the most expensive thing, it's way up high, it's this jet black little short sword that looks incredibly like shimmery and shadowy looking, and it takes a million credits at the arcade.

0:09:45 Lou: God, I mean, I'd like it. (group laughing)

0:09:49 Emily: Yeah...

0:09:50 Brennan: Go for it, you can absolutely smash that thing.

0:09:52 Lou: Okay,

0:09:54 Brennan: So you're going to take your action to smash the glass, go ahead and give me an Athletics check to see if you can smash it without cutting yourself.

0:10:02 Lou: 16.

0:10:04 Brennan: That's fine, you elbow, and you line up your jacket, and bam, break the glass, snatch this sword out of it. It glimmers and shines in your hands. The little placard reads, (nasally nerd voice) Ultimate Ninja Sword, found in a for real ninja monastery that my friend Trevon found out about.

0:10:18 Zac: Trevon.

0:10:18 Siobhan: That's so long to write on a sword.

0:10:21 Brennan: A little placard.

0:10:22 Siobhan: My friend Trevon found it!

0:10:23 Brennan: This real ninja sword is a million credits, and it glimmers in your hand.

0:10:28 Lou: Fantastic, is that-?

0:10:32 Brennan: That's your action, your movement, you're right there, so you can still take another few feet of movement if you want, you can move like three squares.

0:10:37 Lou: Yeah I'll take it, one, two, three.

0:10:40 Brennan: Dope, that's going to be Kristen.

0:10:45 Ally: Okay I'm just gonna cast Spirit Guardians as a fourth level slot-

0:10:53 Brennan: Awesome!

0:10:54 Murph: Oh fuck.

0:10:54 Siobhan: Sick.

0:10:54 Ally: -and that means I have an extra d8, so I have 4d8 of damage to anyone who’s near me.

0:11:00 Brennan: Jesus Christ.

0:11:01 Zac: That's so much. (laughing)

0:11:04 Ally: Oh no, I didn't have that, it has to be a three level slot cause I only get one fourth.

0:11:09 Brennan: Gotcha, no worries.

0:11:09 Ally: So that's 3d8s, but still that's-

0:11:12 Siobhan: Pretty sick.

0:11:12 Ally: I'll take it.

0:11:15 Brennan: Kristen, you cast the spell… (magic corn god music) do you move or no, you just cast the spell? 'Cause you're surrounded right now.

0:11:19 Ally: Yes, and I would like to, I can choose any number of creatures to be unaffected by it so obviously the party.

0:11:25 Brennan: Your pals, awesome. Adaine, that's you.

0:11:28 Siobhan: Is this a wall?

0:11:29 Ally: Oh wait sorry, I wanted to move.

0:11:30 Brennan: Oh you wanted to move, so where do you move?

0:11:31 Siobhan: Oh, sorry.

0:11:32 Ally: My mistake, just as far as I can towards Gorgug, can we move into this like blank space?

0:11:38 Brennan: (moving the minis) This blank space is the undulating, weird patterns of light and energy. You are unable to move into that part of the arcade, there appears to be a weird, like the floor under you is almost like buckling and looking weird, like magic and power basically. You take your movement, one, two, three, four, five, six. They're gonna get attacks of opportunity on you.

0:12:02 Ally: Oh, which one?

0:12:03 Brennan: Both ghosts will, or sorry, this ghost will get one on you, and that ghost will get one on you. (rolling) Oh, they both miss.

0:12:11 Ally: Cool.

0:12:13 Brennan: These ghosts are not rolling well. That's going to be Adaine.

0:12:21 Siobhan: I would like to cast Dispel Magic on this hallucinogenic effect.

0:12:29 Brennan: You're looking at this magical effect, give me an Arcana check.

0:12:34 Siobhan: Okay. (rolls) 24.

0:12:41 Brennan: There are dozens of multiple, distinct magical effects happening right now, so it's not-

0:12:46 Siobhan: Okay, so it's not just one spell?

0:12:47 Brennan: Not just one spell doing it.

0:12:49 Siobhan: In which case I will do something else.

0:12:55 Ally: Can I yell in Elvish like,

0:12:57 Kristen: Let's leave that game where we found the girl, and let's try to find the rest of the girls and let the-

0:13:05 Brennan: Dope.

0:13:07 Emily: Wait what are you trying to say?

0:13:07 Ally: Oh they're not inside yet.

0:13:09 Siobhan: Yeah, I guess I'll cast Burning Hands on this girl, who's already damaged.

0:13:13 Brennan: Yeah, go for it.

0:13:14 Siobhan: Great. Which is a Dexterity saving throw for her.

0:13:23 Brennan: She succeeds on the Dexterity saving throw.

0:13:25 Siobhan: So it's 3d6 half damage.

0:13:27 Ally: Hell yeah.

0:13:32 Siobhan: 1, 5, 6, Jesus, 3 damage, oh my god.

0:13:36 Emily: Take it bitch, right? (to Kristen) ...Um, what were you trying to say in Elvish because I would like to know.

0:13:42 Ally: Oh we found the girl- we found a girl on this game she's trapped inside, but we can run ahead and find the rest of the girls, so that as you guys come in you can work on that game, but we can move forward.

0:13:53 Emily: Okay, I might not do that.

0:13:57 Brennan: And Adaine, I'm gonna need you to make a Charisma saving throw.

0:14:00 Siobhan: Oh, God dammit. 13.

0:14:06 Brennan: 13 succeeds. (group cheering) That's going to be, Fig.

0:14:13 Emily: Okay, I would like to do two things. One, I'd like to do a Perception check on the prizes. (group laughing)

0:14:23 Brennan: Go for it, make a check.

0:14:27 Emily: 13. (laughing)

0:14:30 Murph: There's some cool prizes.

0:14:32 Brennan: (sigh) The cases have prizes in them, it's a series of objects, there was a sword, it's gone now.

0:14:40 Emily: I would like to just grab all of the ones I can carry.

0:14:44 Brennan: Cool! You spend your round just stuffing-

0:14:46 Emily: (dismayed) No, I would have to spend my whole round doing it?

0:14:47 Brennan: As many as you can carry? Yeah, you'd have to be smashing glass and picking up as many of the things as you possibly could.

0:14:52 Emily: Describe them to me. I need to know if this is a waste of my time. Is it nothing?

0:14:58 Brennan: There is a teddy bear-

0:14:59 Emily: I'm not gonna get that, I don't think. (laughing)

0:15:03 Murph: Em, attack a ghost.

0:15:04 Emily: 'Cause I'm about to make a big move.

0:15:07 Brennan: There's a teddy bear-

0:15:08 Murph: There was a Frisbee.

0:15:09 Brennan: There is a Frisbee, there's a cool pair of sneakers, there's some headphones, there's a skateboard, there is a Frisbee.

0:15:17 Emily: Will it take my whole round to just grab the skateboard, or can I still do something else?

0:15:21 Brennan: You have to use an action to smash the glass and take the skateboard.

0:15:22 Emily: Alright then, I don't know if this is the right thing. (frustrated noise) I'm gonna grab Fabian and I'd like to teleport into here.

0:15:34 Brennan: Cool, a Dimension Door?

0:15:35 Emily: Yeah.

0:15:36 Siobhan: (offscreen) Sick.

0:15:37 Brennan: I'm gonna be a bit of a stickler right now, you have to know where you're going to Dimension Door.

0:15:46 Emily: I mean, I said I cased the joint.

0:15:47 Brennan: I'm gonna ask you, I'm gonna do you a solid, and say it's an even 50/50 you went into that back room so go ahead and roll me a d20, 1 through 10 means that you cased the outside and the front, 11 through 20 means that you went all the way to the back room and you know how to get there.

0:16:09 Emily: Okay. (nervous breath) ….19! Brennan nods. (Emily laughing)

0:16:12 Murph: Your rolls are unbelievable.

0:16:14 Ally: That's so great.

0:16:14 Brennan: Great. Are you able to take people with Dimension Door?

0:16:17 Emily: Yeah.

0:16:19 Brennan: Dope.

0:16:21 Emily: I can take one person.

0:16:23 Brennan: Rad, awesome.

0:16:24 Emily: So I run up, I grab Fabian and I say,

0:16:24 Fig: Trust me.

0:16:27 Fabian: What the fuck are you doing? (laughing)

0:16:29 Ally: She's winking the whole way. (laughing)

0:16:32 Fabian: Where the fuck are we, oh god.

0:16:36 Brennan: And you guys arrive there, that's going to be.

0:16:41 Emily: I don't know if that was right guys, what if we needed something from the, (gestures to the rewards box)

0:16:45 Lou: I mean I did grab the sword so.

0:16:47 Emily: Yeah.

0:16:47 Ally: (crosstalk) I have, I have Destroy Undead.

0:16:48 Emily: (crosstalk) Oh, and when I land I'll wink at Riz. (ding)

0:16:53 Riz: Oh thank you.

0:16:53 Ally: Might wait for them to like, rack up.

0:16:56 Riz: I am scared right now.

0:16:58 Brennan: Cool! I am going to need… Biz rushes one hand over here, touches the pillar and you hear…

0:17:10 Computer Voice: Katja downloading. (whooshing)

0:17:15 Brennan: And that's what you hear.

0:17:16 Emily: We know Katja from, she was in Penelope's pictures.

0:17:21 Murph: We already saw, we saw Katja.

0:17:21 Ally: She's in a game.

0:17:23 Murph: She's already in a game.

0:17:24 Ally: Is that the one that you guys saw (they point to Murph), or did we see Katja?

0:17:26 Siobhan: We saw Katja.

0:17:26 Ally: We saw Katja, oh you're still there!

0:17:29 Siobhan: I think that's bad… (Ally laughs nervously)

0:17:29 Brennan: I am then going to need, I am then going to need Fabian and Fig to make Wisdom saving throws.

0:17:41 Lou: This is bad! (rolls, sighs in relief) 16!

0:17:45 Emily: 14.

0:17:46 Brennan: You see that Biz flies (wings buzzing noise) straight up to the ceiling, goes,

0:17:50 Biz: Hey, I'm just trying to have a good time with my friends and you guys don't seem to recognize how much of a pal I can be! (spinning sound effect) (peppy electronic music plays)

0:17:59 Brennan: You (to Fig) feel your mind go, pbbt!, absolutely crazy. You just see images in your head (video game coin sounds) of millions of Biz Glitterdews going like,

0:18:05 Bizes: Good time, bubububu good time, bubububu! (dancing) Good time!

0:18:15 Brennan: And that's what's going on in your mind, you (Fabian) resist that effect.

0:18:18 Lou: Amazing. (laughing)

0:18:22 Zac: The sword!

0:18:24 Lou: (laughs) The power of the sword.

0:18:24 Brennan: Riz that's going to be your turn, you are fully frightened,

0:18:25 Murph: Got it.

0:18:29 Brennan: So you have to spend your whole-

0:18:29 Murph: Do I have to make a saving throw?

0:18:31 Brennan: At the end of your turn.

0:18:32 Murph: Fuck, okay, so then I'll use Nimble Escape to disengage.

0:18:37 Brennan: Cool.

0:18:37 Murph: And then I dash the rest of the way.

0:18:38 Brennan: One, two, three, four, five, six, I'm gonna need you to make a Charisma saving throw.

0:18:43 Fabian: The Ball, where are you going?

0:18:44 Murph: I'm just screeching. (rolling) 10, plus… you know what, I’ll also use my Bardic Inspiration... (slaps table) Fuck you.

0:18:58 Emily: Hey, don't blame it on the bard!

0:18:59 Lou: (shaking his head) Don't blame it on the bard.

0:18:59 Brennan: 12?

0:19:00 Murph: Yeah.

0:19:02 Brennan: You run past Penny Luckstone's game that you saw, you look at it and you go (breathes out loudly).

0:19:09 Video Game Penny: Hey it's me Penny, come help me find coins!

0:19:17 Brennan: Bam! (places a large wooden mini with collapsed tunnels and archways down in Riz’s spot).

0:19:18 Siobhan: What!

0:19:20 Brennan: You are fully, you (electronic whooshing) disappear from the arcade. Ba-ba-boom, you look at your body and your hands, you are made of light and pixels, (retro video game music) and you see an endless expanse of tunnels and coins spreading out from you in all directions. You took your Nimble Escape, you took your movement and made it there, you have an action. (Lou laughing)

0:19:44 Murph: I am gonna yell,

0:19:44 Riz: Hey Penny, you here?

0:19:48 Penny: Hey it's me Penny Luckstone, get ready to find coins or else you'll die! (video game sound effects and music)

0:19:54 Brennan: As she starts to run down a tunnel, collecting coins,

0:19:55 Emily: Coins, you need coins!

0:19:56 Murph: Cool, I will grab some coins.

0:20:00 Brennan: Cool.

0:20:03 Emily: (offscreen) I think we need coins… from here.

0:20:04 Murph: Alright, let me investigate, I'll use my action to investigate. (rolls) A nat 1. (sad whoosh) (laughing)

0:20:08 Murph: Brennan, a nat 1, it's a cool game.

0:20:13 Brennan: So you believe you may be in some kind of video game.

0:20:15 Riz: Oh okay, cool, this is cool, this is a cool game. I love video games.

0:20:21 Brennan: That's gonna be Gorgug.

0:20:22 Zac: Okay, can I make an Insight check on one of these games?

0:20:29 Brennan: Yeah, make an Insight check.

0:20:30 Murph: Surrounded by ghosts looking at a game, What is this, Dig Dug?

0:20:34 Zac: Oh I got, what is my Insight? 19.

0:20:40 Brennan: You look at the games, you don't know if there's a way to interact with these games in particular to help people. They seem to all be wired up to some central place here in the actual arcade. But you also notice that some of these appear to be glowing malevolently, some of these games.

0:21:04 Zac: Okay, cool, do I see one of those near me?

0:21:07 Brennan: One of the malevolent games?

0:21:07 Zac: Yeah.

0:21:10 Brennan: Yes there's one right ahead of you that appears to be very dangerous.

0:21:14 Zac: Okay (sighs), well I guess first things first, I'm just going to attack the ghost in front of me. Alright so, alright that's a 19.

0:21:30 Brennan: That hits, go ahead and roll all your attacks at once.

0:21:34 Zac: Okay, then the second one is just a 13.

0:21:39 Brennan: Hits,

0:21:41 Zac: Oh, and then another 13.

0:21:43 Brennan: All three hit, go ahead and roll damage.

0:21:46 Zac: Okay so, first one d12 plus five. Okay so… (quietly) that’s actually a 6, 7, (normal tone) a 14 on the first one, and 13 on the third one. 40?

0:21:58 Ally: 40.

0:21:59 Brennan: 40, you fuck this ghost right up,

0:22:04 Siobhan: God these guys are bad, that's strong.

0:22:06 Ally: Yeah.

0:22:08 Murph: I'm in hell right now. (laughing)

0:22:11 Murph: I'm in hell Nick Arcade. (Brennan laughing)

0:22:14 Emily: What if we needed something from the prize chest? And I teleported us away.

0:22:18 Ally: I mean we had three insight rolls to let us know that. (laughing)

0:22:25 Brennan: Cool, that's going to be the ghost's turn.

0:22:27 Murph: Spirit Guardians!

0:22:28 Zac: It's not dead?

0:22:29 Emily: Spirit Guardians!

0:22:31 Brennan: Yes, no it is not dead.

0:22:31 Zac: Damn.

0:22:33 Emily: Oh, I love the Spirit Guardians!

0:22:35 Brennan: You see that these ghosts are gonna swing at you, one of them swings at you Gorgug. Misses, another one swings at you, misses again and you see that both of them vanish.

0:22:52 Ally: Like they're dead?

0:22:52 Brennan: They go, (maniacal laughing) fly into the wall. These ones take damage, is it a 15 foot radius or no?

0:23:00 Ally: 10, 10 foot on that Guardian of Faith.

0:23:04 Brennan: So this one's going to roll, that one fails its saving throw, you go ahead and roll full damage.

0:23:12 Siobhan: It's just automatic damage I think right? 20 damage?

0:23:16 Ally: It's for the first time, so it can only affect each ghost once, I think.

0:23:20 Brennan: I'm talking about Spirit Guardians.

0:23:22 Murph: She's over here.

0:23:22 Ally: I'm over here.(crosstalk) I’m by Gorgug.

0:23:23 Murph: (crosstalk) She did it to the guys that disappeared.

0:23:25 Brennan: Oh there's other guys, would it happen at the start of their turn?

0:23:28 Murph: Yeah.

0:23:28 Ally: Yeah.

0:23:29 Brennan: It would? Okay so one of them fails and the other one also fails, so go ahead and roll damage for those two, they started their turns.

0:23:38 Zac: The ones that were near me?

0:23:40 Murph: The ones that were near you guys, over here.

0:23:41 Ally: Oh great, okay yeah.

0:23:42 Zac: Does the one on the other side of me get hit?

0:23:46 Ally: 14.

0:23:46 Brennan: 14 damage, the one that you (points to Gorgug) really fucked up, you see that a spirit appears next to you (Kristen) and says,

0:23:51 Spirit Guardian: All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good spirits do nothing. (big windup punch) (laughing and cheering)

0:23:58 Brennan: Destroys that ghost, the other one is badly fucked up, how much damage was it again?

0:24:02 Ally: That was 14.

0:24:03 Brennan: 14, is also badly fucked up.

0:24:07 Emily: But neither of them got killed?

0:24:09 Brennan: No, one of them got destroyed.

0:24:10 Emily: Ha, what did it look like? What sense did we get, to their vulnerabilities? (waiting for Brennan to answer) Just disappeared?

0:24:17 Siobhan: I think they got like 50 hit points.

0:24:21 Brennan: That's going to be the rest of these ghosts. This one here is going to attack Adaine, this one as well is gonna come in, that one now has to roll for damage as well.

0:24:34 Ally: Yeah, so it's a, they have to beat 16.

0:24:37 Brennan: It does not beat 16.

0:24:38 Ally: So it takes 20.

0:24:41 Brennan: (damage sound) Fucked up.

0:24:42 Murph: Clerics are good, guys, believe it or not. Ally is making two ‘metal’ symbols with their hands.

0:24:46 Brennan: (laughing) They're gonna take some swings at Adaine

0:24:49 Siobhan: Shit.

0:24:51 Brennan: One of them hits for 16 points of damage, reaching out and withering you. That's going to be a Wisdom saving throw from you.

0:25:11 Siobhan: Oh, shit. (rolls, sucks in a breath) 11?

0:25:14 Brennan: You are filled with a deep terror.

0:25:16 Siobhan: Fuck!

0:25:19 Brennan: I'm gonna need you to roll for panic attack.

0:25:25 Siobhan: Oh shit! (rolls) It's plus wisdom right?

0:25:26 Brennan: Yup.

0:25:26 Siobhan: 14.

0:25:28 Brennan: You are absolutely petrified, horrified by these beings. These two turn and go for Fabian. I'm gonna need Fabian to make a, first, one of them is gonna take a swing at you, misses. I'm gonna need Fabian to make a Charisma saving throw.

0:25:53 Lou: That's not covered by Remarkable Athlete, right?

0:25:56 Brennan: Nope.

0:25:59 Lou: (rolls) Oh. 15.

0:26:00 Brennan: One of them goes,

0:26:00 Ghost: Wait a minute, this guy looks rad. I wonder what your controls are like! Hah!

0:26:08 Brennan: And attempts to leap into your mouth.

0:26:11 Fabian: Oh Christ! (laughing)

0:26:15 Brennan: You dodge out of the way.

0:26:16 Zac: The sword!

0:26:19 Brennan: That is the ghost's turn, it is now going to be.

0:26:20 Lou: He just tried to leap into my mouth!

0:26:24 Brennan: Fabian, that's gonna be you.

0:26:27 Lou: Okay, the one of them just tried to leap into my mouth, Riz just ran off behind me,

0:26:34 Murph: Disappeared into an arcade game behind you.

0:26:35 Emily: You also just teleported in.

0:26:37 Lou: Yeah, and Biz is flying above? (insect wing buzzing)

0:26:41 Brennan: He's flying up above, yeah.

0:26:43 Lou: Okay, yeah. (laughing) Um… God. Can I attempt to flip over this ghost in hopes of getting closer to this power source?

0:26:58 Brennan: You can try to move through them, they'll get attacks of opportunity, unless you take a disengage action.

0:27:02 Lou: I'll take the attacks of opportunity.

0:27:05 Brennan: Rad. You go ahead and take, 7, 8, 9, 12 points of damage, I need you to make a Wisdom saving throw.

0:27:20 Lou: God damn, okay there it was- Lou rolls his Wisdom save, sees it, and then brushes his chin several times instead of answering. Ally shows a 2 on their fingers.

0:27:26 Siobhan: Oh shit...

0:27:28 Brennan: 2?

0:27:30 Lou: (nearly inaudibly) 2. (laughing)

0:27:31 Emily: (offscreen) Wait, don’t you—

0:27:31 Brennan: You go to do a daring leap; one of them grabs you by the throat. You are filled with cold energy, and you see it says,

0:27:36 Ghost: Actually if you kinda play a lot of these games, they're pretty fun!

0:27:42 Brennan: And you are filled with unending terror.

0:27:46 Lou: Okay, yeah.

0:27:46 Brennan: You can do nothing but run.

0:27:49 Emily: (offscreen) I thought you got to re-roll ones, and twos,

0:27:51 Siobhan: (offscreen) No, he rolled a three but it was a minus one.

0:28:01 Brennan: I'm gonna need you to make a Charisma saving throw again.

0:28:04 Siobhan: (offscreen) Fuck, Brennan.

0:28:07 Lou: 11. Brennan reaches to grab a second collapsed arcade game and the whole cast groans. (retro game music starts again)

0:28:15 Antiope: Welcome Player One, fight!

0:28:18 Brennan: You see that one of the young women, Antiope Jones appears in front of you and says,

0:28:23 Antiope: Haha, let's see what you got!

0:28:26 Brennan: And starts dancing. (upbeat video game music)

0:28:27 Fabian: Okay. What's happening, where am I? (laughing)

0:28:34 Brennan: That's going to be Kristen.

0:28:40 Ally: Alright I am going to run up to this game, the glowing one.

0:28:45 Brennan: Cool, I'm gonna need you to make a Charisma saving throw.

0:28:49 Ally: Yeah, and I get like everything added to mine right? (crosstalk) Wisdom, or, Charisma?

0:28:51 Brennan: You're proficient, yes.

0:28:52 Emily: You should bless some people.

0:28:55 Brennan: So yeah, your Charisma saving throw is bubbled in right there, it should be plus 6 to Charisma saving throw.

0:29:00 Ally: Okay, cool. Uh, 15.

0:29:05 Brennan: You rush past it, where do you wanna go?

0:29:06 Ally: To the game that's like fucked up.

0:29:09 Brennan: This is the fucked up game right here.

0:29:11 Ally: Okay cool, then to that.

0:29:12 Brennan: Yup.

0:29:12 Ally: Just a few there, and then while I'm here, I'm just gonna bless the three of us that I can see… (heavenly chime) So Adaine, Gorgug, and myself.

0:29:19 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:29:21 Ally: Okay, then I wanna check this game and see if there's a way I can enter it or play it or try to get the girl out of there.

0:29:27 Gorgug: Don't go in it! (laughing)

0:29:32 Ally: Eugh. Uh, what is that, Insight?

0:29:34 Brennan: Insight, yeah.

0:29:35 Ally: 13.

0:29:37 Brennan: There looks like there's a way to go in it. You don't know how safe that would be, so you can either try to go into it, but you're not necessarily sure how to interact with it in a way, from the outside, that would help.

0:29:47 Ally: Okay, then I'm going to yell to Adaine to get as close to us as she can.

0:29:55 Adaine: No I'm going, I'm running.

0:29:56 Ally: Okay, 'cause I can Turn Undead, but I'm just gonna wait until we're together and then help all of us. So I'm gonna get as close to going to the next chunk, like just be ready for us all to go together so take a few more.

0:30:07 Brennan: Cool, you get here and see that there is a ghost just floating over here. (ghost voice) Oooh!

0:30:16 Ally: Okay.

0:30:17 Brennan: That is going to be Adaine.

0:30:21 Siobhan: I mean I ran away didn't I?

0:30:22 Zac: You're feared so,

0:30:22 Siobhan: Aren't I full of fear?

0:30:24 Brennan: Oh yeah, you're full of fear, cool, well the ghost that hit you is on that side. You know what? Go ahead and roll a d20, we'll say 1 through 10 you flee the arcade, 11 through 20, you flee in the opposite direction.

0:30:40 Siobhan: I'm gonna use my 15 divination roll to run towards my friends.

0:30:43 Ally: (offscreen) Nice. (clapping)

0:30:46 Brennan: (laughing) Hell yeah, do you take a disengage?

0:30:48 Siobhan: Hell yeah I take a disengage.

0:30:51 Brennan: One, two, three, four, five, six. Here you are with Gorgug.

0:30:55 Ally: Can you do a dash action?

0:30:55 Siobhan: But I'm still, I'm still afraid right?

0:30:58 Brennan: Still terrified, yes. At the end of your turn you can roll another saving throw to see if you stop being afraid.

0:31:04 Siobhan: Okay.

0:31:06 Zac: What are you doing?

0:31:08 Siobhan: I mean I just, I guess, ready an action? I mean I'm full of fear, I don't really know what I can do?

0:31:16 Brennan: Well you disengaged, you ran, and now you can roll a saving throw to try and stop that fear affecting you.

0:31:18 Siobhan: Great, then I'll just do that. (shakes head) 7.

0:31:26 Brennan: You are still fucking terrified.

0:31:28 Siobhan: Shit.

0:31:30 Brennan: That is now going to be Fig's turn. Fig, you've got this crazy fucking spell on you. I'm gonna need—

0:31:37 Emily: Yeah so what does that mean?

0:31:40 Brennan: I'm gonna need you to roll a d10, for me and tell me what you roll. (dramatic music)

0:31:46 Emily: (looking resentfully at Brennan) 8.

0:31:53 Brennan: The creature uses its action to make a melee attack against a randomly determined creature within its reach, if there's no creature within its reach, creature does nothing with its turn. You just have to wildly swing at that ghost.

0:32:01 Zac: Okay.

0:32:01 Emily: Okay!

0:32:03 Zac: That’s not too bad.

0:32:07 Brennan: (offscreen) With an attack.

0:32:09 Emily: 9. (laughing)

0:32:11 Murph: (offscreen) Just flailing.

0:32:11 Brennan: Not that any of your friends can see you anymore, but Fig is just in this room, her eyes fully dilated, swinging her bass guitar madly as Biz goes,

0:32:18 Biz: (clapping rhythmically) Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone's having a good time.

0:32:23 Emily: Do I get to like do anything to snap myself out of this?

0:32:26 Brennan: You may make another Wisdom saving throw.

0:32:28 Emily: Okay. (rolls, sighs) No.

0:32:33 Brennan: You are still tripping balls. (Emily groans)

0:32:37 Brennan: You see that Biz quickly types something in on the base of the power pillar again, and you hear

0:32:42 Computer Voice: (electronic whoosh) Danielle downloaded.

0:32:46 Brennan: That is going to go back to Biz at the top of the order. You see that Biz stays near the device, casts a spell, (rumbling) whoom! Fig, you kinda see out of the corner of your eye in all the hallucination, that there appear to be many more of Biz than there were before.

0:33:04 Emily: (dismayed) There was already so many.

0:33:04 Brennan: There are already so many. That is now going to be, we're going back to Riz, you may roll again for your fear. Or, that's going to happen at the end of your turn, sorry.

0:33:18 Murph: Great.

0:33:19 Brennan: Cool, (ominous rumble) we'll be seeing a lot of the box of doom tonight.

0:33:23 Emily: Oh hush up. (laughing)

0:33:25 Brennan: In Penny Luckstone's video game we find Riz Gukgak. Riz, you see that Penny's streaking down a tunnel collecting as many coins as possible, what are you going to do? (suspenseful music)

0:33:36 Murph: Follow Penny, I guess?

0:33:41 Brennan: You see that Penny's coin total is racking up, yours is at zero.

0:33:48 Murph: I start collecting coins?

0:33:52 Brennan: I'm going to need you to make an opposed Investigate check.

0:33:57 Murph: Okay.

0:33:58 Brennan: The game gets plus five. What do you get to Investigate?

0:34:01 Murph: Plus eight.

0:34:03 Brennan: You need to beat this game. Brennan and Murph roll in the box of doom. Brennan gets a 15, and Murph gets a 9.

0:34:11 Murph: I got a 17. (sighs, upset)

0:34:15 Brennan: You take a moment's hesitation, you feel this intense fear all around you, just like (huffing) Penny, ding, a hundred coins. (video game coin sounds)

0:34:25 Penny: Sorry, better luck next time!

0:34:29 Brennan: Fig, through the corner of your eye, you see a palimpsest in the device, with Riz's face inside.

0:34:35 Lou: (flopping back in his chair) Oh my God.

0:34:39 Emily: Okay, explain to me which device, where am I seeing it exactly? Am I seeing it in this device?

0:34:43 Brennan: You're seeing it in this, one of these pillars here. There is a palimpsest that glows with Riz's energy.

0:34:48 Emily: So this is the source? (pointing at the game board)

0:34:50 Brennan: That's the source right there.

0:34:51 Emily: The power source, is this magical or non-magical?

0:34:54 Brennan: Extremely magical.

0:34:58 Emily: Motherfucker. What about these pillars, are they magical? Pretty basic pillars, just made of glass and metal?

0:35:04 Brennan: No, all extremely magical.

0:35:05 Emily: Okay.

0:35:06 Brennan: That is now going to be Gorgug's turn. Lou is patting Murph on the back. Murph looks upset.

0:35:11 Zac: I'm going to call my parents on my crystal. (Murph laughing)

0:35:16 Brennan: Okay, if you want that to be your action, yeah, go for it.

0:35:20 Zac: Uh… Fuck.

0:35:23 Murph: It's actually not a bad idea.

0:35:24 Emily: (crosstalk) Just ask them— just ask them—

0:35:25 Murph: There’s nothing literally— anyone who’s not in that room...

0:35:27 Ally: I have Spirit Guardians and I could possibly protect us, we have this one little narrow spot.

0:35:31 Zac: Sure, I'm just trying to close that distance.

0:35:32 Emily: (crosstalk) No one else—

0:35:34 Zac: So I'm gonna call my mom.

0:35:36 Brennan: Cool, that's your action, do you wanna take a movement that round as well?

0:35:39 Zac: Yes, I wanna take a move as far forward as I can.

0:35:42 Brennan: Cool, I'm gonna need you to make a Charisma saving throw.

0:35:45 Siobhan: Oh God,

0:35:46 Zac: I got this. (breathes out) Uh, 12?

0:35:51 Emily: Well add your charisma modifier.

0:35:52 Zac: I have zero charisma.

0:35:55 Brennan: You pick up the phone,

0:35:58 Wilma: Hello?

0:36:00 Brennan: (explosion noise, electronic whooshing)

0:36:02 Fabian: (tapping the table) I don't like this at all.

0:36:03 Siobhan: Oh, I hate this so much. Brennan places the third arcade game model onto the map, for Gorgug to be stuck in. It is purple and looks like an M.C. Escher drawing.

0:36:06 Lou: Wow.

0:36:08 Siobhan: Oh that's a bad one.

0:36:09 Lou: Wow, absolutely beautiful model, but. (shakes his head)

0:36:11 Emily: Really great work, really great work

0:36:13 Lou: Really great work, but devastating effects.

0:36:14 Ally: (crosstalk) But I’m furious.

0:36:15 Lou: Absolutely furious, that's very cool, but I'm so mad. That's honestly super cool.

0:36:19 Gorgug: Aaah! (tries to answer the phone) Hello? (beeping)

0:36:24 Brennan: A bunch of little gnomes start appearing everywhere.

0:36:27 Gnomes: Hi, you wanna whack one of us?

0:36:29 Gorgug: Yes. (lifts axe)

0:36:32 Zac: Can I use a frenzy or anything?

0:36:34 Brennan: You got your action for your phone, that's gonna have to happen on your next turn.

0:36:41 Zac: Alright. At least it's one I think I will be good at.

0:36:45 Brennan: That is now going to be ghosts. (suspenseful music) I'm going to need Fig to make two Wisdom saving throws.

0:36:58 Zac: (surprised) Two.

0:36:59 Emily: Aren't I already fucked?

0:37:00 Brennan: (far too cheerful) Yes!

0:37:00 Emily: Okay. That's gonna be an 11. A nat 20 baby!

0:37:08 Ally: Hell yeah.

0:37:08 Brennan: Rad, one of the ghosts attempts to fly in your mouth, you successfully stop that ghost.

0:37:12 Fig: (pushing it away one-handed) Bitch, I save this for Dr. Asha.

0:37:14 Ghost Two: Wait, let me give it a shot. (whooshing)

0:37:16 Brennan: And the second one leaps into your body.

0:37:17 Siobhan: Fuck.

0:37:19 Emily: My nat 20 doesn't just make my throat push him back out, cause I'm so powerful? (does not wait for an answer) Okay, yeah, of course. (Ally laughing)

0:37:27 Brennan: Rad,

0:37:29 Emily: So what does that mean, he's inside me?

0:37:31 Brennan: You see this ghost, goes, one, two, three. Appears here.

0:37:36 Emily: Dammit I'm so fucking hi-jacked.

0:37:41 Siobhan: Fuck, I'm fucked.

0:37:44 Brennan: That's now.

0:37:46 Ally: Oh that guy had to pass the corn totem right?

0:37:49 Brennan: They've both been hit by it already.

0:37:50 Ally: Oh, okay, cool.

0:37:53 Brennan: They're gonna take some swings now. (intense music)

0:38:02 Brennan: Adaine, you take first, 13, 14 points of damage, and then you take next, 19 points of damage.

0:38:17 Siobhan: (shaking her head) Jesus, 31 minus 19 is, (mumbling) 30 minus 18, so, 12, okay I have 12 hit points.

0:38:29 Brennan: That is now going to be Fabian. (smiling) Bringing back out the box of doom, yet again. Fabian, Antiope Jones looks at you and says,

0:38:40 Antiope: Alright player, let's see what your skills are, time to dance!

0:38:44 Brennan: You see that a series of dance moves begin to come streaming at you.

0:38:48 Lou: Fuck you, I thought this was a fighting game. (laughing)

0:38:52 Emily: Wait, but you're dexterous you know, like you're kinda a pretty boy.

0:38:54 Lou: I am.

0:38:55 Brennan: I'm going to need you to, this game gets a plus 5, to its acrobatics, so I'm gonna need you to roll acrobatics here.

0:39:00 Lou: Alright. Brennan and Lou both roll in the Box of Doom. Brennan gets a 16 and Lou gets a 15.

0:39:06 Lou: (interrupting Brennan) I'm plus eight. (smirks)

0:39:08 Brennan: You--

0:39:08 Antiope: (swift dancing) Alright! Love those moves, great job, wow, wow, wow, pretty cool!

0:39:18 Brennan: Fabian, wooo, you appear outside of the game.

0:39:22 Lou: And I'm still terrified.

0:39:24 Emily: And immediately have to make a Wisdom saving throw!

0:39:26 Brennan: Yeah, you have to make a Wisdom saving throw. Immediately, you have to keep running. One, two, three, four, five, six. You're still fleeing as fast as you can. You hear a voice go,

0:39:35 Computer Voice: (electronic whoosh) Antiope downloaded.

0:39:39 Lou: Do I get to make a Wisdom saving throw or,

0:39:41 Emily: Did it say Riz downloaded?

0:39:43 Brennan: It did not say Riz downloaded, weirdly. You make your movement, you get another Wisdom saving throw.

0:39:50 Lou: Thank god.

0:39:51 Murph: (to Ally) Do you have a spell that gives us advantage on Wisdom saving throws? Lou rolls his Wisdom save, but slaps the table and shakes his head.

0:39:56 Emily: Shit, if we could all get within 30 feet, I could counter charm us.

0:40:00 Siobhan: But you're so far away

0:40:01 Emily: You're so fucking far away.

0:40:02 Siobhan: We’re so fucked.

0:40:03 Ally: (showing a spell card to Murph) Yeah, if you wanna—

0:40:03 Emily: Also I'm under the influence of two ghosts.

0:40:06 Siobhan: I have another Divination Roll but I keep on being like they won't fuck this one, oh shit.

0:40:12 Brennan: That is now going to be, that's Fabian, it's gonna be Kristen.

0:40:16 Ally: Okay, (Emily and Lou laughing)

0:40:20 Adaine: Help.

0:40:22 Emily: (crosstalk) Oh, you didn’t even use your—

0:40:22 Brennan: Yeah you see Adaine surrounded by ghosts over there.

0:40:26 Murph: (pointing to Ally’s spell card) That's the one that gives people Wisdom saving, you might want to do it on Fabian?

0:40:31 Emily: Yeah do it on Fabian.

0:40:33 Ally: Uh, yeah. Is it...

0:40:33 Murph: Choose any number—

0:40:35 Ally: Choose any number of creatures within range.

0:40:35 Murph: Oh that might be good to do to... you could also do it to Adaine.

0:40:41 Ally: To everyone, is there a way, like what is within range?

0:40:45 Murph: It's 30 feet.

0:40:46 Ally: Oh okay,

0:40:47 Murph: It doesn't say what kind of, it says, choose any number of creatures within range. For the duration each target has advantage. So is just 30 feet around here? (pointing at the map)

0:40:53 Brennan: Every creature is covered by 30 feet right now.

0:40:55 Ally: Okay cool, then I will give both of them (pointing to Lou and Siobhan), I'll cast Beacon of Hope.

0:41:00 Siobhan: Which gives us advantage on wisdom saving throws?

0:41:02 Ally: Yeah advantage.

0:41:02 Zac: Do I get it in the game?

0:41:05 Ally: Inside the game?

0:41:06 Brennan: Oh, make a,

0:41:07 Murph: Oh, he’s in the game.

0:41:09 Brennan: Go ahead and make a Knowledge Religion roll for me.

0:41:11 Ally: Oh okay, I have a definite--

0:41:13 Brennan: And I think you have advantage on that, 'cause of your book right? Go ahead and beat a DC15 on a Knowledge/Religion for me.

0:41:18 Murph: You have three.

0:41:21 Ally: Okay, 13

0:41:22 Siobhan: And you have advantage.

0:41:22 Murph: You have advantage so roll again.

0:41:23 Ally: Oh cool. 13's a better one.

0:41:27 Brennan: 13, unfortunately you cannot get Gorgug while he's in the game. But, you can get those guys with their Wisdom saving throws. Do you take a movement this round as well or no?

0:41:37 Ally: I run here. (they move Kristen next to the rest of the group)

0:41:40 Brennan: Cool, gotcha, great, great, great.

0:41:41 Ally: So that they're all in my thing.

0:41:44 Brennan: Rad, and Gorgug's in that game over there. I'm going to need Adaine to take her turn.

0:41:56 Siobhan: I'm afraid and I'm also trapped, so can I cast Invisibility on myself?

0:42:02 Brennan: To help you get out of there?

0:42:03 Siobhan: Just because I'm like, I'm afraid, I can't move.

0:42:08 Brennan: Sure, go.

0:42:09 Siobhan: This is a thing I can do that will

0:42:11 Siobhan and Brennan: Help me get out of there.

0:42:13 Brennan: Go ahead and make an Arcana check. Call it a DC 15 for you to be good enough at magic that feels intuitive for you to do.

0:42:21 Siobhan: Great. (rolls) Nope.

0:42:24 Brennan: You just gotta run.

0:42:25 Emily: Wow, imagine if we ever fucking rolled—

0:42:27 Murph: I think you can go through Kristen.

0:42:27 Siobhan: Yeah can I use Kristen as a,

0:42:30 Zac: You can fully disengage.

0:42:31 Emily: (crosstalk) Yeah, just do a full disengage.

0:42:31 Siobhan: Oh yeah I'll fully disengage and run towards Fabian, I guess.

0:42:34 Brennan: Hell yeah, one, two, three, four, five, six.

0:42:36 Ally: You guys are gonna run into each other, scared, running the opposite way.

0:42:39 Fabian: Are you terrified? I’m— (Adaine and Fabian yelling) Brennan mimes running in fear.

0:42:41 Siobhan: And then I will do my Wisdom saving throw with advantage.

0:42:45 Ally: You get a, yeah cool.

0:42:50 Siobhan: (rolling) 21.

0:42:51 Brennan: Yes, you are no longer afraid. (Emily cheering)

0:42:53 Brennan: You feel hope filling your body. You realize Kristen's here. These dead things can't stop you. Kristen's died, she's seen the Golden Corny Gates, there's nothing that's gonna harm you here. That's now going to be Fig. Fig is currently possessed.

0:43:09 Emily: (crosstalk) What the fuck is happening. (pause) Possessed and enchanted and charmed.

0:43:17 Brennan: (whispering) One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.

0:43:21 Siobhan: You're possessed you're going to attack us?

0:43:24 Emily: Just know it's not me.

0:43:26 Lou: I don't know that.

0:43:27 Siobhan: I don't know that.

0:43:27 Fabian: Fig, I'm terrified, I just got out of a video game that made me dance. (laughing)

0:43:34 Fabian: Guys, I was really hoping it was a fighting game. I was like (scoffs) I got this.

0:43:38 Brennan: Emily, could you say this in your most,

0:43:40 Emily: Uh, I'm Fig.

0:43:41 Brennan: Sorry, (laughs) Fig, could you say this in your most threatening voice possible? Brennan hands Emily a piece of paper with something written on it. (Emily chuckles)

0:43:51 Fig: (low voice) Wow, lot of strong feelings to process here.

0:43:57 Fabian: Are you talking to me?

0:43:58 Emily: (to Brennan) I don't know, am I?

0:43:58 Brennan: Yes, you are specifically threatening Fabian with that.

0:44:01 Lou: I'm sorry that was a threat? I mean, I'm terrified right now, but that is honestly calming. (Emily cackling)

0:44:07 Brennan: That's Fig's turn.

0:44:10 Emily: Am I also still seeing Bizes dancing?

0:44:15 Brennan: You are no longer seeing Bizes dancing.

0:44:18 Emily: Well that's a nice change. (Ally laughs)

0:44:20 Brennan: You are seeing your body, you can feel a ghost in your body, holding onto your heart and squishing it with its thumbs. (Emily squeals)

0:44:27 Brennan: Going,

0:44:27 Ghost: Oh wow look at this you can make her do moves!

0:44:34 Siobhan: There's a creep inside you.

0:44:35 Emily: (upset noises) This is not right.

0:44:38 Ally: I have Hold Person that I can cast on you.

0:44:40 Brennan: You guys hear,

0:44:40 Computer Voice: (electronic whoosh) Sam downloaded.

0:44:47 Brennan: And that's going to be.

0:44:48 Emily: So I don't do any kind of saving throw?

0:44:52 Brennan: Nope, you are fully possessed by this thing.

0:44:54 Ally: What was the one before Sam? We have Katja, Danielle,

0:44:57 Emily: Katja,

0:44:59 Brennan: Danielle, Antiope, and Sam.

0:44:59 Ally: (writing it down) Antiope.

0:45:02 Zac: Fuck.

0:45:05 Emily: Dude, they're downloading it to send-- I guarantee you they're downloading it to send to someone more sinister.

0:45:10 Zac: Sure.

0:45:11 Emily: I think that this little motherfucker put them on the little crystal so he could feel like he controlled them as part of a deal to send them to someone else.

0:45:18 Ally: Yeah we have to stop it before they download all of them. How many girls were there total?

0:45:21 Siobhan: (offscreen) Six.

0:45:21 Lou: There’s only Penny—

0:45:23 Murph: (holding up two fingers) I think it's just me and Penny left.

0:45:25 Brennan: You guys hear Biz casting a spell in the other room. (magic whoosh)

0:45:28 Siobhan: Shit.

0:45:31 Brennan: That is now going to be, unfortunately, Riz you feel yourself trapped in this crystal. You can take actions while you're in here, but it's an infinite recurring fractal of crystalline space that you are trapped in. Lou laughs disbelievingly.

0:45:44 Murph: Cool.

0:45:45 Emily: Dude, piss in it. (group laughing)

0:45:48 Murph: (unenthusiastically) I guess I'll do an Investigate check, but I have a feeling it's going to be, 16.

0:45:57 Brennan: You can feel energy moving outside the crystal, and you can hear voices. You hear a voice of Ostentatia yelling out.

0:46:02 Ostentatia: Someone help!

0:46:07 Brennan: You hear a voice of Zelda yelling out.

0:46:08 Zelda: I'm trapped.

0:46:10 Brennan: And you hear Penny yelling out

0:46:12 Penny: Hello, I'm over here!

0:46:12 Brennan: You feel a hand pressing up against the glass, and you hear Penny's voice saying,

0:46:17 Penny: Riz, Riz is that you?

0:46:22 Riz: (reaching out to her) That's me, I think we're fucked. (laughing)

0:46:26 Brennan: She says,

0:46:26 Penny: That's terrible to hear.

0:46:28 Riz: Yeah, it's good to see you though, I did a bad job, but my friends might save us. Do you have any clue how to get out of here? Clearly you don't.

0:46:36 Penny: Clearly I don't, I don't mean to be mean, but yeah for sure no.

0:46:38 Riz: Yeah no that's a stupid question, sorry, I just fucked up, I fucked up this whole goddamn fight.

0:46:45 Brennan: Gorgug, that is going to be you.

0:46:47 Zac: Okay,

0:46:48 Brennan: Bringing out the Box of Doom once more. It's Whack-a-Gnome time! (suspenseful music) Gorgug, this thing gets a plus 5 to its roll. You're rolling with advantage and bless.

0:47:00 Zac: Plus 7.

0:47:01 Brennan: I'll go ahead and roll what you need to beat. You need to beat, a 12!

0:47:06 Zac: Okay, I feel good about this, I have advantage so, yeah, 18.

0:47:10 Ally: (cheering) Fuck yeah.

0:47:14 Zac: Plus my actual strength, so 25.

0:47:17 Brennan: In the video game woop, woop, woop, little gnomes are popping up,

0:47:22 Gnomes: Hey there bud, hey kiddo, hey bud, hey kiddo!

0:47:25 Gorgug: You're not my bud.

0:47:27 Brennan: (rumbling) Wham, wham, you guys see that this whole machine like rattles from side to side, and bam, Gorgug appears.

0:47:36 Emily: I like to think that Gorgug just goes like, “blah!” and pops back out of it. (laughing)

0:47:43 Brennan: We're gonna pass that, let me grab that from you. (takes his die back from Zac) It's my die, great.

0:47:46 Emily: (about the dice) One of those is mine.

0:47:50 Gorgug: (breathing heavily) Aaah!

0:47:53 Brennan: That is now going to,

0:47:53 Zac: My turn.

0:47:55 Brennan: Yes, you can move this turn as well actually.

0:47:59 Zac: Okay, I'm just gonna start sprinting my full movement.

0:48:02 Brennan: Full movement cool, that's eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, you have to end your turn here or here (moving Gorgug’s mini), because you can't end your turn on Fabian's space.

0:48:14 Zac: I'll stand in front of Fabian.

0:48:18 Fabian: Excuse me, I'm terrified.

0:48:21 Brennan: That is going to be, our ghostly friends. Beginning of their turn they have to roll, it's a Wisdom saving throw yes?

0:48:28 Ally: Wisdom saving in 16.

0:48:32 Emily: I hope they get so fucked.

0:48:32 Murph: (offscreen) Three of them.

0:48:36 Brennan: (quiet laughter) They all fail.

0:48:37 Emily: Yeah bitches, take it.

0:48:41 Ally: Alright, bitches. (satisfied) Yeah, an 8, a 7, and a 5. So that is 20.

0:48:46 Brennan: Jesus Christ.

0:48:46 Ally: Each, and a bunch of them already took 20 from my corn— penis. (Group laughing)

0:48:54 Ally: My floating cob.

0:48:54 Lou: That's still there.

0:48:56 Brennan: Your army of philosophers (whoosh) comes to these nerd ghosts. One of them says,

0:49:00 Ghost: Actually all of us are pretty interested in philosophy as well, we—

0:49:06 Brennan: You see this sandaled, extremely muscular, bearded, like toga wearing guy says,

0:49:11 Spirit Guardian: (raspy, aggressive) Philosophy is lived, do you live it or merely read of it? They all go,

0:49:17 Ghosts: Well, mostly we read of it--

0:49:19 Brennan: (shouting) Bwah, they are all shredded apart by this one philosopher, fucking decking all of them, looking extremely injured. Kristen fucking up these ghosts.

0:49:34 Emily: Yeah girl, go and get it.

0:49:36 Ally: Hell yeah.

0:49:37 Emily: Is what I would say if I wasn't possessed.

0:49:39 Ally: But instead you're like this is no secret.

0:49:44 Emily: (low whispery voice) A lot of feelings to process here.

0:49:46 Murph: Gonna turn undead on her and make her throw up that ghost.

0:49:48 Ally: Yeah.

0:49:50 Brennan: That is going to be.

0:49:51 Emily: You're going to try and double possess me?

0:49:54 Brennan: That is, they've all been terribly injured, see, (moving the ghost minis) bum bum bum—

0:49:59 Emily: (high voice) They can move wherever they want?

0:50:03 Zac: Hit me baby, hit me.

0:50:07 Brennan: They get to (boom) fly through walls.

0:50:08 Siobhan: (to Zac) Oh, you are? Sick.

0:50:10 Zac: I'm immune to Fear right?

0:50:11 Siobhan: Yeah you are.

0:50:12 Brennan: (surprised) Oh shit, Mindless Rage.

0:50:13 Zac: Yeah baby, Mindless Rage. (laughing)

0:50:17 Murph: I am too mad to be scared.

0:50:21 Brennan: One of them hits you for 11, 14, 17 points of damage, not halved, it's like huff, withering you from inside. And then 10, another 13 on top of that.

0:50:32 Zac: So 30.

0:50:32 Brennan: 30. But there's no chance for the Fear to take hold. There's no purchase, you are too flipping out, to have any kind of Fear effect work on you.

0:50:43 Zac: I'm at 88. (laughing)

0:50:45 Brennan: I'm gonna need Kristen to make a Wisdom saving throw.

0:50:48 Zac: (crosstalk) Oh wait, no, I’m at 78.

0:50:48 Ally: Cool so I get my plus five to whatever I roll?

0:50:49 Brennan: Yup.

0:50:50 Lou: Or plus six.

0:50:52 Ally: 19, yeah.

0:50:54 Brennan: You see that one of the ghosts seeking to flee the army of philosophers around you, attempts to leap into your mouth and it's like,

0:51:01 Ghost: Aw c'mon, let me hang out for a little while.

0:51:04 Brennan: And rushes forward. That is, (heavenly chime) but you rebuff it, the light glows. It finds no purchase there.

0:51:14 Ally: Does it, yeah nevermind.

0:51:17 Brennan: That is going to be, that's the ghosts, Fabian that’s your turn.

0:51:21 Lou: And I'm still trying to, so how does this work?

0:51:24 Brennan: You're gonna rush past these ghosts, actually make a, go ahead and roll a d20 to see if you try to rush past these ghosts, or see ghosts and try to turn the other direction.

0:51:36 Lou: Great.

0:51:36 Murph: Ga-ga-ga-ga ghost!

0:51:37 Brennan: One through 10 you try to go through them,

0:51:41 Murph: Scooby-Doo style.

0:51:43 Lou: (confidently) Very much I believe I can pass these ghosts no problem,

0:51:48 Emily: Or you were just so scared of me that you're just running.

0:51:51 Lou: I think it's the ghosts.

0:51:53 Brennan: (counting movement) All three ghosts are gonna get attacks on you.

0:51:59 Murph: Are you still Feared if you get your ass kicked, do we get hit?

0:52:03 Brennan: Yes you are still,

0:52:03 Emily: That follows.

0:52:07 Brennan: You are gonna go ahead and take, first 12, 16, 19… You take 22 points of damage from one.

0:52:17 Ally: (alarmed) From one.

0:52:18 Brennan: And you take 18 from another.

0:52:18 Lou: 18, ugh. A full 40.

0:52:23 Emily: (offscreen) Jesus.

0:52:24 Brennan: As you're just running,

0:52:26 Ghosts: Come on hang out dude, it's fun here, hang in the arcade.

0:52:31 Lou: Can I call to The Hangman to meet me at the arcade?

0:52:34 Brennan: You absolutely may.

0:52:35 Hangman: (growling) Master, I'm on my way.

0:52:37 Ally: (to Lou) Fool!

0:52:37 Brennan: Go ahead and roll your Wisdom.

0:52:39 Lou: Okay, here we go, with advantage, come on. Uh— (disappointed laughter) Uh, 11?

0:52:48 Brennan: You are still running, my man.

0:52:50 Emily: (offscreen, slamming the table) No!

0:52:52 Brennan: That is going to be--

0:52:52 Emily: Fuck these rolls.

0:52:54 Brennan: Kristen that's you. (suspenseful music starts)

0:52:57 Ally: Right so for Channel Divinity it's up to 30?

0:53:01 Brennan: Up to 30 feet yeah.

0:53:02 Ally: So how far is Fig from where?

0:53:05 Brennan: So it's one, two, three, four, five, six. You could make it within range of her right now.

0:53:10 Ally: Okay cool, then I'm going to run.

0:53:14 Brennan: He's gonna get an attack on you, which he misses.

0:53:16 Ally: Cool, then I run here and I’m gonna do Turn Undead, so will that like get the demon out of Fig?

0:53:22 Brennan: You feel like there's a good chance that it will.

0:53:24 Ally: I do yeah, I do Destroy Undead.

0:53:28 Brennan: Rad as hell. These ghosts are too powerful to be destroyed, but they may be turned, which means they will attempt to flee. The DC on that is 16, they're getting a plus one here. (suspenseful music)

0:53:44 Brennan: (laughing) You see that these two ghosts turn to look at you, what do you say to these ghosts as you're starting to turn them?

0:53:50 Ally: I say,

0:53:50 Kristen: My friendship burns bright!

0:53:55 Brennan: You see they all go,

0:53:56 Ghosts: Oh, we don't know anything about friends!

0:54:00 Brennan: And begin to flee into these things. Fig you (hurl) vomit a full ghost. (cheering and vomiting)

0:54:09 Siobhan: Gross! But very metal.

0:54:09 Emily: And also a little bit of a salami sandwich. (laughing)

0:54:12 Ally: They're too strong to be destroyed by my—

0:54:14 Brennan: Too strong to be destroyed, but they are compelled to flee.

0:54:16 Ally: Cool.

0:54:17 Brennan: That is going to be, that was an incredible turn from Kristen. Adaine, that's gonna be you.

0:54:24 Siobhan: Well if they're afraid will they attack—

0:54:27 Brennan: They will not take their reaction to attack you.

0:54:30 Siobhan: So they won't get opportunity attack?

0:54:32 Brennan: Will not get opportunity attacks.

0:54:33 Kristen: But there is one that you can't see, that's right here,

0:54:35 Ally: I yell, in Elvish.

0:54:37 Siobhan: Yeah, how high are the ceilings here? If I fly, will any of them get an attack of opportunity on me?

0:54:44 Brennan: They're partially hovering as well, they're like flying as well.

0:54:47 Siobhan: (upset growl) How you doing, hit points wise? (looks at Zac’s sheet)

0:54:49 Zac: I got 78. (growls)

0:54:50 Siobhan: Great so--

0:54:51 Ally: I got 75 so take care of yourself.

0:54:56 Emily: Oh yeah you should be pretty hurt right?

0:54:58 Siobhan: I'm pretty hurt yeah.

0:54:58 Zac: You've got 12.

0:55:00 Siobhan: But I can get past this woman without having her have an attack of opportunity on me right?

0:55:07 Brennan: You can go around her, yes.

0:55:09 Siobhan: So I'm going to cast fly on myself.

0:55:14 Brennan: Cool. (magic whoosh)

0:55:15 Siobhan: Maybe very stupid I don't know, and I'm going to take a full movement to get as far, as close to Biz as I can.

0:55:21 Brennan: That's 60, so that's 12. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine, 10, 11, 12. (moving Adaine’s mini)

0:55:29 Siobhan: And it's actually fly I have 60 movement so it's 120.

0:55:34 Brennan: 'Cause you used the action to cast it. (clap)

0:55:36 Siobhan: I did, okay.

0:55:38 Brennan: I'm gonna need you to make a Charisma saving throw.

0:55:39 Siobhan: Goddammit.

0:55:41 Ally: But you have advantage, right?

0:55:44 Siobhan: Not on charisma, just on the Wisdom saving throws.

0:55:47 Zac: You still have a die? (crosstalk) You still have one of those dice?

0:55:47 Brennan: You have Bless.

0:55:48 Siobhan: I'm gonna use my 17 divination roll.

0:55:52 Emily: Yeah I think that's great.

0:55:52 Siobhan: Against that Charisma check.

0:55:55 Brennan: Boom, you ignore that game calling out to you, your eyes glow white with the power of prophecy and divination, vroom! You continue flying.

0:56:03 Ally: Is it good to get into the game? Cause then we’d—

0:56:05 Ally: Okay, I am just wondering.

0:56:07 Zac: When he won, and I won we just got out, that was all that happened.

0:56:11 Murph: Yeah, and I'm just out.

0:56:14 Brennan: Alright Fig, that's gonna be your turn.

0:56:16 Emily: Okay, so I'm within 30 feet of both Adaine and Kristen Applebees?

0:56:23 Brennan: That’s correct.

0:56:24 Siobhan: And Gorgug.

0:56:25 Emily: And Gorgug, but he doesn't need it. Okay. Then gonna real quick tune, my bass guitar.

0:56:30 Fig: Seems like an inappropriate time, but I promise it'll pay off.

0:56:33 Emily: And then I start playing, and I Countercharm me, and Kristen Applebees, and Adaine. (bass reverb)

0:56:41 Brennan: With this sick fucking bass line, that's just on a tasty walk, who could be afraid? (Emily singing a bass line)

0:56:46 Lou: Tasty walk?

0:56:50 Brennan: A tasty walk dude. You see all the philosophers surrounding Kristen go like,

0:56:55 Spirit Guardians: Verily, yes, yes.

0:57:01 Fig: (laugh) I got a verily!

0:57:03 Spirit Guardian: Very funky young madam, funky indeed.

0:57:05 Fig: Thank you!

0:57:06 Emily: Can I also,

0:57:07 Spirit Guardian: But what does it mean to be funky?

0:57:09 Ally: We're all smoking weed.

0:57:09 Emily: Oh that's a conversation I'd love to continue. (laughing)

0:57:13 Emily: While I'm playing though, can I walk backwards? Just to move closer to Adaine?

0:57:17 Brennan: Just fucking moon walk, yes you may.

0:57:20 Emily: Can I take my entire walk backward?

0:57:23 Brennan: You can stop here.

0:57:23 Emily: Okay.

0:57:27 Brennan: I'm gonna need you to make a Charisma saving throw.

0:57:29 Emily: But now I got advantage right? No, not yet.

0:57:32 Brennan: No, not yet.

0:57:32 Ally: What does that mean?

0:57:34 Emily: Oh so maybe I shouldn't move at all? Or would I have to make it no matter what?

0:57:38 Brennan: You would have to, I mean it's up to you.

0:57:43 Emily: If I stayed where I was, was I still gonna have to?

0:57:45 Brennan: No you were not, if you stayed where you were.

0:57:47 Emily: Okay, well, okay, Charisma saving throw. (checking character sheet) Oh! Okay, that's better. (rolls) Yeah 24! Zac makes a metal symbol with his hand.

0:57:55 Brennan: Oh you're fine.

0:57:55 Ally: Fuck yeah.

0:57:56 Brennan: This is nerd shit, you don't want to play a fucking video game, you're playing a sick bass solo. It's gonna be back to the top of the order. You hear,

0:58:07 Computer Voice: doov doov doov, Ostentatia downloaded.

0:58:13 Brennan: (whistles) That is going to be back at the top of the order. You see, Biz is there, flies out here.

0:58:27 Zac: Oh, that little shit.

0:58:29 Brennan: Hold on one second. (takes out a measure)

0:58:34 Siobhan: (offscreen) Oh, no, 60 feet?

0:58:37 Brennan: I'm going to need Fig and Adaine to make Dexterity saving throws. (Siobhan sighs loudly)

0:58:43 Emily: That we don't get advantage though right? That's not being charmed or frightened?

0:58:46 Brennan: Nope.

0:58:51 Siobhan: 16, 17, 18.

0:58:53 Emily: 14.

0:58:55 Brennan: 18 and 14, okay. (begins to roll lots of dice)

0:58:57 Siobhan: Oh my God so many dice.

0:58:59 Emily: (look of defeat) I think I’m fucked.

0:58:59 Siobhan: I mean I have 12 hit points left so I'm fucked. (laughs)

0:59:03 Murph: Oh, my goodness.

0:59:04 Emily: No but you got 17?

0:59:05 Zac: But she might get half damage.

0:59:07 Siobhan: But if it’s, if it's half damage, I'm still fucked. Brennan is counting his rolls under his breath.

0:59:11 Murph: Biz sucks.

0:59:13 Siobhan: Biz fucking sucks.

0:59:15 Emily: I guess he was right all along though, right?

0:59:17 Siobhan: That he sucks? (Emily laughing)

0:59:20 Brennan: (pointing to Fig) You take 39 points of damage, (pointing to Adaine) you take 18 points of damage.

0:59:26 Siobhan: I'm down.

0:59:26 Brennan: Or, sorry, 38 is—

0:59:28 Siobhan: I mean it makes no difference, I'm down.

0:59:34 Brennan: (knocking Adaine’s mini over) You see he goes and says,

0:59:34 Biz: Well, two lovely ladies.

0:59:41 Brennan: Woop, pew, pew, pew and rays of color and crackling electricity come from all the games and badly damage you all. What is Fig at?

0:59:53 Emily: Fig is at 39, um, 20, 26. I'm super bad at math.

1:00:04 Brennan: I'm also going to need Fig to make an Arcana check.

1:00:08 Emily: Oh good. (laughing) 13.

1:00:15 Brennan: (shrugs) Cool! You see it is now going to, (Lou laughing)

1:00:19 Siobhan: Fuck, Brennan.

1:00:23 Emily: Wait, oh wait, he just hit me! Can I use my reaction, Hellish Rebuke? (holding the spell card up)

1:00:27 Brennan: (reading the card) You point your finger at the creature that damaged you, it is momentarily surrounded by hellish flames. Creature must make a Dexterity save or it takes two d10 fire damage on failed saves.

1:00:33 Murph: Freakin hell yeah.

1:00:35 Emily: It's a reaction.

1:00:36 Brennan: Yeah you absolutely may. (Emily cackling) He's gonna make a Dexterity save. He fails.

1:00:43 Emily: Yeah bitch.

1:00:43 Brennan: Believe it or not, Biz, not dexterous.

1:00:46 Emily: Okay, so then it's 2d10?

1:00:47 Murph: AV club guy, not dexterous.

1:00:51 Emily: 6, plus 10, 16.

1:00:53 Brennan: (offscreen) Jesus Christ.

1:00:53 Ally: Hell yeah.

1:00:56 Brennan: So you hit a fucking tasty lick on that bass, and he is engulfed in flame.

1:01:04 Biz: (fire noises) Wow, I just tried to make a joke, God.

1:01:10 Fig: You're so fucked, (laughing)

1:01:11 Fig: You're so fucked, we have you now.

1:01:15 Brennan: That is going to be Riz, back in the palimpsest, you hear Penny say,

1:01:22 Penny: It's getting quieter out here, I don't blame you, thank you so much for trying.

1:01:29 Riz: We're still gonna get out. Have you seen where any of these girls have gone when they're (air quotes) downloaded?

1:01:34 Penny: I don't know, I've been stuck in the palimpsest, I know, (sad music) I think something really bad's gonna happen, worse than you think, I'm so sorry Riz, I'm so sorry.

1:01:46 Riz: It's not your fault.

1:01:49 Brennan: That's going to be,

1:01:51 Murph: Can I investigate and see if I see where people are, like look into the other palimpsests and see if I can see where people are going? Like, see if I see where Ostentatia went?

1:01:58 Brennan: Make another investigation check.

1:02:03 Murph: A nat 20.

1:02:04 Ally: Nice. (Emily cheering)

1:02:04 Brennan: A nat 20? You furiously, and you take, you take 7 points of damage as you furiously dig through the cracks of the palimpsest. Penny's sad voice has lit some kind of fire in you. Murph mimes furious digging. (suspenseful music)

1:02:30 Brennan: (feral digging motions) And it's literally like (crystal shattering noises) lacerating you as you're crawling through the crystal. You dig through and see a channel, going back to the AV room at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy.

1:02:39 Riz: Motherfuckers.

1:02:49 Brennan: What an insane roll. But you know that that's where they're headed, that's where they're going.

1:02:54 Murph: Okay. Can I try to lead people, I wanna try to like overload their servers cause I hear them being downloaded.

1:03:03 Brennan: Go ahead and make an Arcana check off of that nat 20.

1:03:05 Murph: Cool. (rolls) Uh… 18.

1:03:12 Brennan: 18, you guys hear a pop in the other room and Biz looks and says,

1:03:16 Biz: Oh, what the fuck.

1:03:18 Brennan: And flies towards it as something overloads in the fucking server.

1:03:23 Murph: I'm just throwing palimpsests down the thing. (crystal crashing)

1:03:27 Brennan: That's going to now be,

1:03:28 Murph: Fuck yeah.

1:03:29 Brennan: Fuck yeah. That's gonna be Gorgug, baby.

1:03:32 Zac: Okay, Are these guys, here?

1:03:36 Ally: This one's turned.

1:03:36 Zac: Turned, so I can just like, move past that person? I'm going to take my full movement, and I'm going to put my headphones on and crank some music as I run past the game. (Brennan does a rock music vocalization)

1:03:57 Emily: Wow, just like Zelda would like.

1:03:59 Zac: Hopefully, it keeps me from hearing it. Would that keep me from hearing it?

1:04:01 Brennan: Keep you from hearing?

1:04:02 Zac: The game, the call of the game.

1:04:05 Brennan: Oh the game, I'm gonna say fucking roll with advantage.

1:04:08 Zac: Okay.

1:04:09 Murph: Nice.

1:04:09 Brennan: So that's going to be.

1:04:09 Zac: With my Bless?

1:04:11 Emily: Wait but he's never frightened or charmed right?

1:04:13 Zac: That's a Wisdom saving. That's not charmed, right?

1:04:15 Murph: (singing) Bring…. Me… to… Life.

1:04:17 Siobhan: It's Charisma.

1:04:18 Brennan: Charisma, so you can roll a Charisma save, you roll with advantage, you can add that Bless to it.

1:04:24 Zac: That's 17.

1:04:26 Brennan: You pass.

1:04:27 Zac: Okay great.

1:04:27 Siobhan: You should see if you crit.

1:04:28 Emily: Yeah, just see if you crit.

1:04:29 Zac: (rolls) No.

1:04:31 Brennan: Cool, you've made an eight movement. You can continue to move here if you'd like, but this is how far you get based on that movement.

1:04:38 Zac: He's running to the other room right?

1:04:39 Brennan: Yes.

1:04:39 Zac: Okay, I'm gonna fully run into that room.

1:04:43 Brennan: Alright, I'm going to need you to make a Dexterity saving throw.

1:04:49 Zac: With advantage.

1:04:49 Brennan: With advantage, yes.

1:04:51 Zac: Yes. Dope. (rolling) Oh thank God.  Okay, alright.

1:04:56 Siobhan: The first one was a 3.

1:04:58 Zac: Yeah, so 19.

1:04:59 Brennan: 19, Jesus. (upbeat electronic music and game sound effects) You run through here and see that Biz has set up some kind of trap. You see pixelated versions of yourself, leap out to grab you and you fully jump with your music playing and go perfectly horizontal and corkscrew through the middle of them. To land right in front of fucking Biz.

1:05:23 Gorgug: Sup, nerd. (laughing)

1:05:26 Brennan: And that's your action. That is going to be the ghosts. (whooshing) (suspenseful music) All these flee as fast as they can. This one's gonna go, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, she's gonna go eight here.

1:05:46 Siobhan: Does Gorgug have an attack of opportunity on him?

1:05:48 Brennan: No cause it's coming straight towards him, not leaving the area. And that's gonna miss. Right here, it's gonna be, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Not enough to get to Gorgug this turn. (Zac sighs in relief)

1:06:09 Brennan: (laughing) That is the ghost's round. It is now going to be, it is now going to be Fabian.

1:06:19 Lou: So I keep running.

1:06:20 Zac: (offscreen) Oh my God.

1:06:22 Murph: Is your bike here?

1:06:22 Brennan: Keep running, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12. Give me another Wisdom saving throw.

1:06:26 Lou: Alright, 15.

1:06:30 Siobhan: (offscreen) Hell yeah.

1:06:33 Brennan: You get to the front room, (deep breath) and calm down.

1:06:37 Murph: Once you see the prizes.

1:06:39 Emily: Yeah, maybe do a perception on the prizes. (laughing)

1:06:43 Brennan: Do a perception on the prizes.

1:06:44 Lou: Yes, fantastic.

1:06:45 Ally: Please get a nat 20 and we find out that's where it's all been.

1:06:48 Murph: A 2.

1:06:49 Lou: So 1. It's not a nat 1,

1:06:50 Brennan: Just a modified 1.

1:06:50 Lou: Modified 1.

1:06:54 Brennan: It looks like they're prizes, that could be an illusion. Maybe there is not prizes.

1:06:59 Lou: I got plans for my next turn. (laughing) I know that my friends are in trouble over there but.

1:07:07 Brennan: That's going to be Kristen, that's your turn.

1:07:11 Ally: Great, I sprint.

1:07:13 Brennan: Cool.

1:07:15 Ally: How far can I get without using my running as an action?

1:07:19 Brennan: You can get that far.

1:07:21 Emily: You could probably Healing Word her.

1:07:23 Brennan: Oh yeah, you could,

1:07:26 Emily: (crosstalk) You could high-level Healing Word her.

1:07:26 Brennan: You could do there and do a Healing Word or you could be over here, whatever you wanna do.

1:07:30 Ally: Healing Word, could I do Adaine and her?

1:07:32 Murph: You could also dash and Healing Word, 'cause Healing Word's a bonus action.

1:07:36 Ally: Hell yeah it is, so is Mass Healing Word.

1:07:39 Murph: That'd be dope.

1:07:42 Ally: I will do--

1:07:44 Brennan: You could actually hit you, I don't know how many you could hit with Healing Word, but you could do Fig, Adaine, Gorgug, and yourself.

1:07:50 Ally: Okay yeah, I'll do that. Let's see I'm gonna cast that as a, what is this fourth level? Oh no, no, no sorry third level.

1:08:00 Brennan: Dope.

1:08:01 Ally: And so that gives me a d4 plus my spellcasting ability modifier.

1:08:07 Brennan: And then plus your Blessed Healer thing, so it's actually plus 10.

1:08:11 Ally: Cool.

1:08:11 Brennan: It's plus 11 actually now.

1:08:14 Murph: d4 plus 11?

1:08:15 Brennan: d4 plus 11.

1:08:18 Ally: One so 12.

1:08:21 Brennan: And then you also get some back from Blessed Healer, as well.

1:08:23 Ally: Yeah, I'm at full health anyway, so.

1:08:24 Emily: How much?

1:08:26 Brennan: 12 to Fig, Gorgug, Adaine, and Kristen, Kristen gets a little bit extra.

1:08:31 Emily: Thank you.

1:08:32 Ally: I'm already at full, haven't been touched. (laughing)

1:08:34 Brennan: These ghosts present.

1:08:35 Ally: I have not been touched!

1:08:36 Siobhan: Let me stand up!

1:08:37 Ally: Philosophy has helped me.

1:08:39 Brennan: I'm now going to need you to make a, as you continue that, so you do that like one, two, here, three, four, need you to make a Charisma saving throw?

1:08:47 Ally: Oh sure.

1:08:48 Emily: But she gets advantage because of my Countercharm.

1:08:49 Ally: I get advantage, right?

1:08:49 Brennan: Yup.

1:08:50 Ally: And bless.

1:08:51 Brennan: Oh no, this is not a Charm effect. So just go ahead and roll a regular saving throw with that Bless.

1:08:57 Ally: Oh okay. (rolls) 12? Oh Charisma. 15.

1:09:03 Brennan: You make it past, boom, boom. You make it this far.

1:09:06 Ally: Alright great.

1:09:09 Zac: Is Adaine getting up?

1:09:11 Brennan: Oh yeah, Adaine gets up. (picks up her mini) Adaine, this is your turn. (calming music)

1:09:15 Siobhan: Sick, well my fly spell is gone 'cause it's a concentration spell. I can see Biz from here right?

1:09:22 Brennan: Yes you absolutely can.

1:09:25 Siobhan: Does he have spells that he has cast on him? Can I do an Arcana check?

1:09:30 Brennan: There are four Bizes standing in that space.

1:09:35 Siobhan: Sick, I would like to cast Dispel Magic on Mr. Biz.

1:09:39 Brennan: You reach your hand out and boom, the other three Illusory Doubles disappear, and he goes,

1:09:43 Biz: Oh dag, what? (laughing)

1:09:49 Adaine: Did you say "dag"?

1:09:50 Biz: Yeah dag, dude, you ever heard of a (pronounced like “beeb”) meme?

1:09:52 Adaine: A what?

1:09:53 Biz: (so nasally he can’t say the “m” sound) A meme, a meme, you know like on the internet, a meme.

1:09:56 Zac: Goddammit.

1:09:58 Adaine: A meme? (Group laughing)

1:10:00 Adaine: You suck so hard.

1:10:01 Siobhan: Were there any other spells on him, just that one?

1:10:03 Biz: Looks like I'm rubber and you're glue, and whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.

1:10:07 Emily: Oh my God.

1:10:08 Adaine: Did you learn that from a book? Did you read a book of insults, and you were like, "I'm gonna learn that"?

1:10:12 Biz: No, I learned it, (pushes glasses up) from a meme.

1:10:14 Gorgug: (aggressively) A what? (laughing)

1:10:17 Brennan: That is going to be--

1:10:18 Murphy: Hot topic nerds hate AV club nerds. (laughing)

1:10:24 Brennan: Fig, that's gonna be your turn.

1:10:25 Emily: Okay, I would like to, so,

1:10:25 Fig: Gorgug I'm really sorry, I think I might hurt you.

1:10:31 Zac: It's fine, I'm at 90, I don't care.

1:10:34 Emily: So I go, one, two, three, four, five, and this is as far as I can go. And then I wanna do...

1:10:46 Brennan: I'm gonna need you to make a Dexterity saving throw.

1:10:49 Emily: Is this a Charming or Frightening thing?

1:10:51 Brennan: Nope, not a Charming or Frightening thing.

1:10:52 Zac: It's that trap that I got through.

1:10:53 Emily: So Countercharm was (whispering) garbage. Can maybe I do what, maybe, what if I am here, do I not, where does the trap start?

1:11:00 Brennan: You would hit it, well you haven't noticed it, that was what your Arcana check was for, was to see the spell there.

1:11:06 Emily: Oh, okay.

1:11:09 Brennan: So go ahead and make that Dexterity saving throw. (dice softly clatters)

1:11:16 Emily: (resigned) 12.

1:11:18 Brennan: You take, 13 points of damage, whoom, as bunch of Figs leap out from the arcade games and restrain you in the spot.

1:11:31 Emily: So I don't even get to do any actions?

1:11:33 Brennan: No, I'm afraid not.

1:11:33 Emily: This battle has fucked me. (laughing)

1:11:36 Ally: In that case, do you wanna be where you were already, seeing all that stuff, one space forward, it's not that different?

1:11:43 Emily: Yeah yeah, if that's the case I'd rather be fucked one space further. (Ally laughing)

1:11:49 Brennan: You guys see Biz, goes ahead. He's going to cast, one, two, three, four, five. I'm going to need Adaine, Fig, Gorgug, and Kristen to all make Wisdom saving throws.

1:12:07 Siobhan: (offscreen) Oh shit. (louder) We all have advantage.

1:12:08 Emily: Is this charming? Is this charm, advantage?

1:12:08 Brennan: This is charm, so this is advantage.

1:12:11 Siobhan: He doesn't.

1:12:14 Zac: But does my Feral Instinct help at all right now, or no?

1:12:18 Brennan: You are immune to charm, your Mindless Rage is helping you here.

1:12:19 Zac: (offscreen) Oh okay.

1:12:19 Emily: 16.

1:12:19 Brennan: (crosstalk) Feral Instinct helps with initiative, I think.

1:12:23 Siobhan: I got a 24.

1:12:24 Ally: (offscreen) 20.

1:12:25 Emily: 16.

1:12:26 Zac: So am I rolling on this?

1:12:26 Murph: (crosstalk) Nice, guys.

1:12:27 Brennan: You don't even have to roll.

1:12:29 Ally: Not nat 20 but.

1:12:30 Brennan: You see Biz, goes,

1:12:30 Biz: (low tone) You could've been my friends, but you chose the path of pain, woop, woop, woop, woop.

1:12:38 Brennan: He starts to shake his little tummy, and you see that a bunch of just spidery tendrils of color come out.

1:12:46 Biz: (wiggling) Be charmed by my dance, be charmed by my dance.

1:12:49 Adaine: You look so stupid right now.

1:12:50 Biz: (angry) It's cool, it looks cool!

1:12:51 Fig: (offscreen) That’s humiliating.

1:12:53 Emily: I take a video on my crystal. That’s fucking humiliating. (laughing)

1:12:54 Biz: (pointing) Don't spread that, don't post that!

1:12:57 Ally: (laughing) You were recording him.

1:12:58 Emily: Fucking embarrassing.

1:13:00 Brennan: He flies over here. (insect wing buzzing) Gorgug, you're gonna get an attack on him as he attempts to leave.

1:13:06 Zac: Yeah, great.

1:13:06 Siobhan: Sick.

1:13:07 Zac: Fuck you.

1:13:07 Ally: Fucking ruin him.

1:13:10 Zac: Uh, okay, I, 24.

1:13:13 Brennan: That hits go ahead and roll damage.

1:13:18 Zac: (whispering) Fuck you. That's a 15.

1:13:21 Brennan: Jesus.

1:13:21 Siobhan: (offscreen) Chop his fucking wings off.

1:13:22 Brennan: He's like,

1:13:23 Biz: Adios, my dear.

1:13:28 Brennan: (mimes Gorgug’s axe) Wham. (yelling) Badly hurt, he rushes over to the thing, and you hear, a voice, and you (to Riz) hear Penny say,

1:13:35 Penny: I'm sorry. Box of Doom is coming in, Riz on that incredible nat 20 is (hacker voice) in the system man, we're in, we're hacking in. You're gonna roll an opposed Arcana check.

1:13:52 Murph: Oh, with a plus 5.

1:13:52 Ally: You have a plus 5, yeah. (laughing)

1:13:54 Brennan: Biz has a plus 8 to this.

1:13:57 Murph: (unenthusiastically) Great.

1:13:59 Ally: You got it man, you got it!

1:14:01 Siobhan: You got it man, you got it.

1:14:02 Zac: You got it.

1:14:02 Siobhan: Crit! You’re gonna crit.

1:14:03 Emily: (crosstalk) You got Bless or anything? You got any Bardic Inspo left over?

1:14:04 Lou: Beat this bullshit pixie.

1:14:06 Zac: (offscreen) Guaranteed. Brennan rolls a 13.

1:14:07 Brennan: You need to beat, wait, 8 to that, is gonna be 21.

1:14:09 Emily: (crosstalk) Too legit to crit.

1:14:11 Brennan: 16 or higher.

1:14:13 Siobhan: (offscreen) Crit. You’re gonna crit. Murph rolls an 11.

1:14:15 Murph: Fuck. (shaking his head)

1:14:17 Zac: You don't got it.

1:14:19 Brennan: You hear--

1:14:20 Lou: You have it, it just didn't show up that time.

1:14:22 Emily: Yeah, that's true. That’s true.

1:14:24 Siobhan: You have it man. Next time man.

1:14:26 Brennan: You hear a voice, you hear Biz go,

1:14:26 Biz: Oh, sneaky little monkey. (laughing)

1:14:30 Emily: Ewww!

1:14:34 Brennan: And then you hear a voice say,

1:14:37 Ally: (offscreen) I hate this.

1:14:38 Penny: Bye, Riz.

1:14:40 Computer Voice: do do do do. Penny downloaded.

1:14:42 Riz: (whispering) Motherfucker.

1:14:44 Brennan: That is going to be Riz, you're in the system running around. (Lou laughing)

1:14:48 Murph: (groans) Oh goddammit,

1:14:51 Emily: Pee in it, pee in it!

1:14:54 Murph: I am going to try, so am I out of my palimpsest or?

1:15:00 Brennan: You're deep in your palimpsest, but you've allowed yourself to be injured to the extent that you're affecting stuff inside of the crystal technology.

1:15:07 Murph: Okay, is there any way that I can try to, so I see that there are people going to the AV club thing?

1:15:12 Brennan: Yup.

1:15:17 Murph: I would like to, try to put the bag of holding over the wire thing, so people go into my bag instead of the.

1:15:24 Brennan: Roll a Sleight of Hand, because what you're doing is insane, and you are a fucking ghost. That's gonna be a DC25 Sleight of Hand check.

1:15:35 Emily: But you have good Sleight of Hand!

1:15:35 Murph: I literally can't do that, I have a plus four.

1:15:38 Brennan: You can roll and see if you get a nat 20.

1:15:40 Murph: Okay, don't worry. (rolls) Nah.

1:15:45 Ally: 14!

1:15:45 Murph: It’s 18.

1:15:46 Brennan: You try to open it inside the thing. You see as you attempt to open it, the interior space of the palimpsest starts to go like wub wub wub and it's like oop a holding technology inside of a holding technology, that's bad, and close it. That is going to be Gorgug.

1:16:01 Zac: Are my parents still on the line?

1:16:03 Brennan: Yes.

1:16:06 Gorgug: If you can hear me, what is the quickest way to shut down your power source, it's an emergency?

1:16:11 Digby: Well an emergency, I would go to, the fuse box is usually in the front of the store, the arcade. Zac puts his head in his hand.

1:16:18 Siobhan: Oh shit.

1:16:18 Emily: Oh fuck me. (Murph laughing)

1:16:21 Emily: Fuck me.

1:16:23 Zac: Really? (examining the map)

1:16:24 Emily: It's in the prize chest.

1:16:26 Zac: Do you even see one?

1:16:27 Murph: You could also just probably turn it off.

1:16:29 Gorgug: Okay, but if I can't get there, can I just smack it?

1:16:33 Digby: Oh I wouldn't smack it. Mom and me put a—

1:16:36 Gorgug: My friend's gonna die if I don't.

1:16:38 Digby: Yeah, I guess, aim for the wires. (laughing)

1:16:41 Zac: I'm going to let them get attacks, can I get there in time? One, two, three, four, five.

1:16:48 Emily: Oh yeah cause they can't do shit to you.

1:16:49 Zac: And then slash the wires. No, no kinda fucked me up.

1:16:54 Emily: But they can't charm you and get in your mouth. (Ally laughing)

1:16:58 Lou: Can't get in your mouth dude.

1:16:59 Emily: Get in your mouth and play your heart.

1:17:00 Siobhan: Get in your mouth.

1:17:01 Ally: (dancing) Charm you.

1:17:01 Lou: Let me tell you something right now, they can't get in your mouth.

1:17:04 Brennan: You take 19 points of damage. As you rush past them.

1:17:09 Zac: And I attack the wires.

1:17:14 Brennan: Hell yeah, go ahead and start rolling your attacks.

1:17:17 Zac: And I'm going to use, Reckless Attack, so I have one attack advantage.

1:17:22 Brennan: Okay, awesome.

1:17:28 Zac: Okay so- okay so that was, the first one's 9 plus 8, so 17.

1:17:32 Brennan: 17 does not hit.

1:17:34 Zac: Oh.

1:17:35 Emily: Doesn’t hit the wires?

1:17:36 Brennan: He doesn't hit the wires, or he doesn't hit them in a way that deals damage to them.

1:17:39 Zac: Okay, fuck. (suspenseful music)

1:17:44 Zac: I'm gonna just do it again.

1:17:46 Emily: Maybe just try to unplug it? It’s magical.

1:17:47 Brennan: I'm gonna tell you right now, this thing has an AC of 19 and it has 20 hit points. That's pretty common for objects like this.

1:17:53 Zac: AC of 19, so just have to get over 19?

1:17:55 Brennan: 19 or higher.

1:17:57 Siobhan: Oh you can do that.

1:17:59 Zac: Ooh, yeah, I got that. (Emily cheering)

1:18:02 Brennan: Go ahead and roll damage.

1:18:04 Zac: Okay. 'Kay, that was 6 plus 7, that's, 13?

1:18:11 Brennan: 13 damage. You hack into the wire, electricity starts coming out of it.

1:18:17 Zac: And I have a frenzy so I'm gonna use that.

1:18:20 Emily: Is Riz literally the next person to get downloaded?

1:18:23 Siobhan: Yeah.

1:18:23 Ally: I think so, I think so.

1:18:26 Emily: So we don't try to heal anyone this turn, we just try to get, destroy this thing.

1:18:29 Zac: (whispering) Fuck. (normal) That's only, ah fuck, seven plus eight, that's nothing.

1:18:34 Brennan: You've badly damaged it, you've done a ton of damage, it's shocking, electrocuting everywhere. These ghosts rush you. (two whooshes)

1:18:41 Zac: Fuck.

1:18:48 Brennan: (shakes his head) Fucking both miss, terribly. That's going to be Fabian.

1:18:52 Zac: (kindly) But they get advantage on me.

1:18:54 Brennan: Oh they do get advantage. That's an honest man. Brennan rolls for the ghosts, then shakes his head and puts his hand up to his mouth.

1:19:00 Zac: Nat 20?

1:19:00 Murph: (offscreen) Did he just crit? (suspenseful music)

1:19:04 Lou: They both crit? They just both crit. (loud, upset noise)

1:19:11 Zac: Why did I do that?

1:19:11 Ally: (pointing at Brennan) No!

1:19:13 Lou: (angry) How many dice you picking up dude? No, put those dice down. Brennan is picking up and preparing to roll two full handfuls of dice. He looks smug about it.

1:19:16 Emily: (offscreen) Put them down!

1:19:16 Ally: No!

1:19:18 Lou: That's the most dice I've ever seen.

1:19:19 Siobhan: Oh my god, he can barely fit them in his hand.

1:19:21 Emily: This is a fuckin’ Box of Doom roll.

1:19:22 Ally: Was that real?

1:19:22 Siobhan: Yes.

1:19:26 Brennan: (counting quietly) 12, 13.

1:19:26 Lou: What did we just do? You broke the rules.

1:19:29 Siobhan: Lie next time, dude!

1:19:30 Zac: I can not lie. (laughing)

1:19:36 Brennan: You take 48 points of damage.

1:19:39 Emily: (excited) Yes he's still standing!

1:19:41 Brennan: (offscreen) Jesus Christ.

1:19:41 Siobhan: Man, strong.

1:19:41 Emily: (patting Zac on the back) So strong.

1:19:45 Brennan: Woo woo, you see both of these ghosts reach their fucking hands and try to crush your heart,

1:19:52 Ghosts: Ha ha ha get a load of this dude, what a freak? Freak loser.

1:19:55 Brennan: Squeezing your heart. You see that your eyes, the corners of them crinkle, and a shock of your hair goes white. As you almost age in front of them, you see the palimpsest glows in front of you. You see Riz burrowing into one, another the last one, with Zelda in it. Holds her hand out.

1:20:15 Lou: Oh my god.

1:20:18 Brennan: That's going to be, Fabian, that's you.

1:20:22 Lou: Can I ask The Hangman how far he is?

1:20:26 Hangman: Master, I am here!

1:20:29 Murph: Turn off the fuse box!

1:20:29 Ally: Yes!

1:20:31 Murph: But he doesn’t know.

1:20:33 Lou: Can I see the fuse box?

1:20:36 Brennan: Make a Perception check.

1:20:37 Lou: I mean. (laughing)

1:20:38 Brennan: For a thing you don't know you're looking for.

1:20:40 Lou: 15.

1:20:42 Brennan: You see a bunch of stuff in this room. (Ally laughing)

1:20:44 Lou: Very cool. (engine revving)

1:20:47 Emily: Perception check on the prize box.

1:20:49 Lou: Yeah, that's where I should have been doing a Perception check. So how far, can I get with just a regular dash? I mean I'm gonna Action Surge and get as deep in to all of this as I can.

1:21:00 Brennan: I'm gonna say that your bike has a speed of 90.

1:21:02 Lou: Okay.

1:21:03 Brennan: Which is equal to 18 squares. It can take a move and a dash, so that's, One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 36!

1:21:27 Lou: Fantastic.

1:21:28 Brennan: Fabian, (yelling, engine revving)

1:21:30 Ally: Jesus!

1:21:31 Brennan: I'm gonna need you to make four Charisma saving throws. (yelling)

1:21:35 Lou: Jesus Christ, okay. (laughing)

1:21:38 Ally: Do you have Bless or anything?

1:21:39 Lou: I don't, no,

1:21:41 Ally: Really?

1:21:41 Lou: I missed all of that because I was running the other way.

1:21:44 Ally: Do you wanna make them all at the same time or individually?

1:21:47 Lou: No I'll make them individually, cause it's too scary to make them. Okay so first one, 6. (laughing)

1:21:56 Brennan: 6, so you, cool, you vroom, this very first one right here, you and The Hangman get boom, sucked right into it. You hear,

1:22:02 Video Game: Let's race! (retro video game music)

1:22:08 Lou: Great.

1:22:10 Brennan: You are deep in the video game.

1:22:13 Emily: That was a really valiant effort.

1:22:15 Lou: Thanks dude, I had a real cool plan where I was gonna throw that ninja sword directly in the machine, but. (Brennan laughing)

1:22:22 Lou: (pointing to Brennan) It was real nice for you to walk me all the way,

1:22:23 Ally: I was gonna say!

1:22:25 Lou: Like I got to do it--

1:22:26 Brennan: Yeah I remembered the traps after I counted it out, but that would've been fucking dope as hell. (laughing)

1:22:33 Lou: Dope as hell dude.

1:22:33 Brennan: That would've been super cool.

1:22:34 Zac: That would've been so cool dude.

1:22:36 Brennan: Kristen, that is going to be your turn.

1:22:37 Ally: I run straight in, I bet I'm gonna have to make that.

1:22:42 Brennan: Yeah make that Dexterity saving throw.

1:22:43 Ally: With Bless? Brennan With Bless.

1:22:44 Ally: Do I have any advantage?

1:22:44 Brennan: Nope.

1:22:49 Ally: Alright. (rolling) Yeah, fuck yeah! I have negative 3 on Dexterity, but I rolled an 18 with a 1 Bless.

1:22:55 Brennan: Yup, you're through, yup.

1:22:56 Murph: Dope.

1:22:57 Ally: Okay and then I'm gonna dash forward, and I'm gonna jump on Gorgug's back.

1:22:59 Brennan: Okay.

1:23:01 Ally: And hug him really tight, and that means like my Guardians will be around both of us for this next.

1:23:06 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:23:06 Emily: Are the Guardians gonna hit the wiring?

1:23:08 Zac: Can you use your Healing Word?

1:23:12 Ally: No, I used my dash as the action, right?

1:23:14 Zac: But is it a bonus action?

1:23:14 Siobhan: But Healing Word is a bonus action.

1:23:15 Brennan: Is that?

1:23:16 Ally: Oh yeah, yeah, cool.

1:23:18 Brennan: You can use your Healing Word if you want.

1:23:19 Ally: And this isn't even Mass Healing Word, so this a d4 and I add a d4 for each spell slot, so I'll make it a 3 cause I haven't done any of those. 3d4s.

1:23:28 Brennan: Hell yeah. Those two, yeah you move through those ghosts.

1:23:36 Ally: A 2, a 2, and a 4, hell yeah, that's 8, plus what do I add to this?

1:23:41 Siobhan: 10 I think.

1:23:42 Ally: 10, 18. And I take some healing but I don't need it cause I'm still full health 'cause God exists. (Brennan laughing)

1:23:49 Zac: I'm at 41 now.

1:23:51 Emily: Okay.

1:23:51 Kristen: You can thank God. Which God, I don't know yet. (laughing)

1:23:55 Brennan: Adaine, it's gonna be your turn.

1:23:57 Siobhan: I mean I gotta try and make that Dex throw.

1:23:59 Brennan: Yeah go for it.

1:23:59 Siobhan: Gotta get in that room. It's where the action is happening.

1:24:05 Murph: (offscreen) We gotta ... these wires.

1:24:06 Lou: What are you talking about? The action's happening in the very first trap, in the very first room.

1:24:09 Ally: Oh, where you are?

1:24:10 Lou: Yes.

1:24:11 Siobhan: I made it.

1:24:12 Ally: Hell yeah.

1:24:13 Siobhan: 18.

1:24:14 Brennan: You leap through, recognizing the spell, expertly dodging out of the way. You are in the room.

1:24:21 Ally: Do you have some sort of?

1:24:22 Emily: Yeah, I,

1:24:23 Zac: Hit the wires!

1:24:23 Emily: Yeah, I think we need to try to get these wires.

1:24:24 Ally: Yes.

1:24:28 Siobhan: Yeah, can I do, Witch Bolt on the wires?

1:24:36 Brennan: Yeah.

1:24:36 Siobhan: I don't have any that will sever, can I just use Mage Hand to fucking unplug the thing, is it just in the wall?

1:24:42 Brennan: I'm gonna, ask you to make, yeah you can use Mage Hand to try.

1:24:46 Siobhan: Or can I at least make an Arcana check and see.

1:24:49 Brennan: Make a spell attack check, we'll call it a DC20 spell attack check just to yank the fucking thing out.

1:24:54 Siobhan: Okay so I got a plus 7.

1:24:55 Ally: Well it's pretty low right, on its health?

1:24:57 Murph: Four HP or something?

1:24:58 Ally: It's at like four.

1:25:01 Siobhan: Yeah but I don't know if any of my spells will attack a wire.

1:25:03 Emily: Do like an Arcana check to see.

1:25:05 Siobhan: Yeah, can I do an Arcana check to see if any of my spells will attack a wire?

1:25:10 Brennan: You know what, I don't know all your spells well enough.

1:25:12 Siobhan: Okay.

1:25:13 Brennan: So you tell me what you're going to do.

1:25:15 Siobhan: Ah shit.

1:25:17 Murph: A spell attack would just hit right? Yeah, like if you threw a Fireball or something?

1:25:22 Brennan: There's also the possibility though, if you're not severing, like Witch Bolt might electrocute.

1:25:24 Siobhan: Yeah if I'm not severing something, I could just electrocute it. Hang on a second. (suspenseful music) If I use Mage Hand, can I pull both of the palimpsests out of the thing, or do I have to pick one?

1:25:37 Brennan: You have to pick one.

1:25:39 Siobhan: Dah, shit.

1:25:42 Ally: I mean obviously right?

1:25:43 Siobhan: I know, why am I, why is this so hard?

1:25:54 Brennan: Make the call, or I'm gonna say panic attack sets on.

1:25:56 Emily: Mage Hand Riz!

1:25:57 Siobhan: Fuck, I. Okay, I use Mage Hand to pull Riz out of the machine.

1:26:01 Brennan: Cool, that's just gonna be a DC15 with your spell attack, go ahead and roll.

1:26:10 Siobhan: 8 plus 7, is 15.

1:26:13 Brennan: Woom, Riz's palimpsest comes shooting out of the machine into your hand. (music stops) Wooo baby, Fig that's gonna be you, you may make another Dexterity saving throw.

1:26:26 Emily: Is that gonna be my whole fucking turn?

1:26:27 Brennan: Hold on one second, just let me see something here real quick.

1:26:29 Emily: I failed it anyways. (Ally laughing)

1:26:31 Emily: Fuck me.

1:26:33 Brennan: You take, 11 points of damage, as your illusory doppelgangers kick the shit out of you.

1:26:39 Emily: Can I at least like do a spell on my illusory doppelgangers?

1:26:43 Ally: Kiss one of them!

1:26:44 Emily: Okay, I kiss one, I kiss myself. (laughing)

1:26:45 Zac: You have 14 left.

1:26:50 Emily: Oops. Thanks for that.

1:26:51 Brennan: Okay, Riz is pulled out of the device, you hear,

1:26:54 Computer Voice: (electronic whoosh) do do do do, Zelda downloaded.

1:26:56 Ally: Fuck.

1:26:59 Siobhan: I'm sorry guys it's just ingame, that's what I had to do.

1:27:02 Emily: You did the right thing.

1:27:02 Murph: Appreciate it.

1:27:04 Ally: (raising their hand) Does Biz start his turn by taking damage from my Guardians?

1:27:08 Brennan: Oh he absolutely would. He's gonna roll a saving throw, he rolls a nat 20, go ahead and roll.

1:27:13 Ally: So it's halved?

1:27:14 Brennan: Halved, yup.

1:27:16 Ally: Bitch, an 8, a 7, and a 5.

1:27:19 Siobhan: 20?

1:27:19 Murph: 20? So 10.

1:27:21 Brennan: You see that Biz looks around at you and goes,

1:27:24 Biz: (laughing) Game over, game over! It looks like you guys are free to go.

1:27:31 Brennan: You hear, you see one of your Radiant Guardians goes,

1:27:34 Spirit Guardian: (French accent) (takes a cigarette drag) Man is condemned to be free.

1:27:37 Brennan: (mimes a punch) Whap, and Biz, woop hits the fucking deck, Bam, out. (rumbling)

1:27:42 Ally: Really?

1:27:43 Brennan: Gone, toast, half damage.

1:27:45 Emily: Does that mean that I'm no longer restrained by myself?

1:27:48 Brennan: No longer restrained.

1:27:49 Emily: Thank fucking God.

1:27:49 Murph: So was Zelda downloaded?

1:27:53 Brennan: Zelda was downloaded. Bringing out the Box of Doom here. Fabian, in your video game, you hear “Let's race!” I'm gonna need you to make an Acrobatics check. This is a plus 5. Go ahead and roll. (suspenseful music)

1:28:06 Siobhan: Do he have advantage since he's on a fucking motorbike?

1:28:10 Brennan: Yeah we'll say he has advantage. (rolls) Alright you need to beat: a nat 20! (Laughing)

1:28:15 Lou: (getting out of his seat) I’mma go, you guys don't need me here right? I'm trapped in a video game.

1:28:19 Brennan: You guys see two other palimpsests light up.

1:28:24 Emily: (gesticulating wildly) Both of them, we gotta fucking hit these freaking—

1:28:26 Zac: Wait did you even try?

1:28:27 Murph: What if he rolls a nat 20?

1:28:28 Lou: Can I try a nat 20?

1:28:29 Brennan: Actually that's true. (puts the Box back down)

1:28:31 Murph: (confidently) He's gonna roll a nat 20.

1:28:32 Ally: A nat 20 is insane.

1:28:35 Lou: We'll go one at a time.

1:28:35 Brennan: One at a time? (holding up a finger)

1:28:37 Lou: One of these will be a nat 20, right?

1:28:39 Brennan: Die number one.

1:28:41 Ally: 10, that's a nat 10.

1:28:41 Lou: That's half of a nat 20, all the way up to a nat 20. Lou rolls a nat 20. (whole cast screaming)

1:28:52 Lou: (yelling) What, what? (celebrating)

1:28:58 Ally: Get this outta here, fuck yeah, fuck yeah! Ally gives the Box of Doom’s camera a middle finger.

1:29:02 Murph: Suck my dick! (gives middle finger)

1:29:04 Lou: It doesn't matter, all the girls are gone, but yeah!

1:29:07 Ally: Yeah!

1:29:11 Emily: (to Brennan) What was that about those palimpsest?

1:29:11 Ally: I feel like I'm on drugs.

1:29:13 Brennan: You explode out of the arcade. (engine revving) Tear all the way around to the outside. You see that every single coin machine in the entire arcade, (coin sounds) ping ping ping ping ping, you are showered in gold coins all over you, all over the arcade, spill forth.

1:29:36 Emily: What do you say to us when we see you?

1:29:39 Fabian: God, (stuttering)

1:29:41 Kristen: Where have you been?

1:29:41 Fig: Where have you been?

1:29:43 Fabian: Guys, you know you guys were all there for my dad's stuff, and it's just been, it's getting to me, but I swear there were a bunch of ghosts out front, that I confronted them and dealt with them.

1:29:54 Fig: Thank you so much, Fabian, that's so fucking cool dude.

1:29:55 Adaine: But like hey, we all have dad stuff.

1:29:58 Fabian: We do all have—

1:29:58 Adaine: Except for Fig who’s super happy I guess.

1:29:59 Fig: Except for me I have two dads, they're both great.

1:30:02 Murph: I'm stuck in a palimpsest right now right? (laughing)

1:30:05 Brennan: That's correct.

1:30:06 Murph: I can't even like speak to them right?

1:30:07 Ally: In your pocket.

1:30:08 Murph: Like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids style?

1:30:09 Brennan: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids style, yup.

1:30:10 Murph: I can?

1:30:10 Brennan: Oh sorry, you are fully stuck in the palimpsest.

1:30:12 Emily: (offscreen, crosstalk) Detect Thoughts?

1:30:14 Brennan: You cannot interact with the people outside of the palimpsest.

1:30:16 Emily: What about Detect Thoughts?

1:30:16 Siobhan: How do you get him out?

1:30:17 Emily: Do you have Detect Thoughts?

1:30:19 Siobhan: I do, can I,

1:30:20 Emily: Or Message? Or,

1:30:22 Zac: Are we still fighting right now?

1:30:23 Emily: (crosstalk) Although, we don’t know.

1:30:24 Ally: No. It looks like it’s—

1:30:25 Brennan: The ghosts appear to be gone.

1:30:27 Zac: These guys are gone?

1:30:28 Brennan: Oh yeah, (whooshing) Ghosts disappear, and the arcade just returns to normal.

1:30:32 Ally: And Biz is just out? Fuck that bitch.

1:30:37 Siobhan: Can I, can you—

1:30:37 Emily: Wait is Biz's body there?

1:30:40 Zac: (crosstalk) We just gotta—

1:30:40 Brennan: Yeah, it's on the ground

1:30:41 Siobhan: You should stabilize,

1:30:41 Emily: I would like to kill Biz. Ally agrees with Emily’s plan, nodding in an ominous way.

1:30:44 Siobhan: No! We should stabilize Biz because we need to get Riz out!

1:30:48 Ally: Let's kill him.

1:30:48 Emily: (laughing) I think we kill him.

1:30:49 Siobhan: No!

1:30:49 Zac: I’m— I— (holds his hands up in a “stop” motion to Emily)

1:30:50 Emily: And I think I take my hands on either ear, and then Burning Hands his brain.

1:30:54 Adaine: No, you cannot do that!

1:30:55 Zac: I'm gonna physically keep you from doing that.

1:30:57 Fig: C'mon, let me at him, I wanna Burning Hands his brain.

1:30:59 Gorgug: We need him so we can figure out what's going on. We gotta get Riz, let's just take Riz to my parents’ house.

1:31:05 Adaine: Okay, let's stabilize Biz, and fucking intimidate him to get him to get Riz out of this fucking thing.

1:31:13 Fig: I gotta use, I have Whispers of Terror.

1:31:18 Gorgug: Yeah let's just stabilize him, and then we'll intimidate him.

1:31:19 Fig: (crosstalk) Well I’ve gotta do something at some point.

1:31:21 Kristen: And maybe have him use what we have in front of us to get—

1:31:24 Fig: If I have Whispers of Terror.

1:31:25 Gorgug: (crosstalk) Yeah, if we can.

1:31:25 Kristen: But he could— (frustrated noise)

1:31:26 Gorgug: We've never been able to get someone out of a palimpsest.

1:31:27 Fabian: You didn't destroy the power source, we can.

1:31:29 Gorgug: We severed the cords. Yeah we have to.

1:31:34 Ally: Fucking fine, I'll stabilize him. One, he gets one.

1:31:39 Brennan: You go over to heal Biz, he's dead.

1:31:42 Emily: Good.

1:31:43 Brennan: He's fully-

1:31:45 Emily: I fucking piss on his body.

1:31:45 Brennan: I was rolling death saves over here while you guys were talking, fully dead.

1:31:47 Fig: Oh I know! I'm going to steal his soul.

1:31:50 Ally: I have Revivify.

1:31:53 Emily: (crosstalk) I’ll Mantle of Whispers him—

1:31:54 Brennan: Revivify?

1:31:55 Emily: Nononono!

1:31:56 Brennan: Does that, does Revivify, do you have a third level spell slot left?

1:32:00 Ally: I think I do, yeah I have one left.

1:32:02 Brennan: Cool.

1:32:03 Siobhan: (crosstalk, pointing to Emily) Wait, what does stealing his soul mean?

1:32:04 Zac: (crosstalk, pointing to Emily) Do you wanna—

1:32:04 Ally: (crosstalk, offscreen) If we want to—

1:32:05 Emily: Wait, let me just say this real quick before we do this, Mantle of Whispers, I get their memories, for the time that I inhabit them.

1:32:10 Brennan: Only the memories that enable you to like casually, you don't get deep secrets with Mantle of Whispers.

1:32:15 Emily: Alright, I guess Revivify him then.

1:32:16 Ally: Would she would be able to, like, casually get someone out of a palimpsest, like just chill?

1:32:21 Siobhan: Yeah very cas, sups cas.

1:32:24 Brennan: If you wanna Revivify him you can.

1:32:25 Zac: We gotta,

1:32:26 Siobhan: Yeah.

1:32:26 Zac: We can kill him again if we really need to.

1:32:27 Adaine: We can kill him again, but let's make sure he's tied up and he can't speak again.

1:32:31 Emily: Can I tie his wings together?

1:32:33 Brennan: (wing snap noise) Sure.

1:32:33 Siobhan: And like maybe blindfold him as well so he can't see?

1:32:34 Ally: I kick him really hard in the nuts and then I revivify him. Brennan mimes a dead pixie being nut-kicked.

1:32:38 Fabian: I still have those handcuffs from—

1:32:39 Murph: Oh my God!

1:32:41 Emily: Beating the fucking—

1:32:42 Adaine: Where'd you get those?

1:32:43 Fabian: Nevermind.

1:32:44 Emily: Literally his wings are tied together.

1:32:45 Kristen: Where'd you get handcuffs, you little freak?

1:32:48 Fabian: I mean they were- Biz looks deader and deader as they talk.

1:32:48 Gorgug: Do it, revive him, he's gonna die.

1:32:50 Kristen: Revivify, pshhh.

1:32:52 Emily: I wanna pants him, so when he comes to life his pants are at his ankles.

1:32:55 Biz: (groaning) What happened?

1:32:57 Kristen: You human equivalent to a snot ball.

1:33:00 Fig: Is he handcuffed?

1:33:02 Adaine: Oh my God, you are a little snot ball. Yeah he's handcuffed.

1:33:04 Emily: Okay so I wanna try, I'll just fucking try to cast Suggestion on him.

1:33:08 Brennan: Sure.

1:33:09 Emily: I'm gonna try to cast Suggestion on him. He has to do a Wisdom saving throw, and I wanna tell him to get Riz out of the palimpsest, or tell us how to get Riz out of the palimpsest.

1:33:18 Brennan: You see he goes,

1:33:18 Biz: (stuttering) You think,

1:33:18 Brennan: You see: He's got his little hands, are his hands in front of him or behind him when you cuff him?

1:33:26 Ally: We can do in front.

1:33:27 Brennan: You see he goes,

1:33:28 Biz: You think I'm so stupid, that I'm going to take this palimpsest, (picks it up) I'm going to walk it over to this port (walks it over to the port), put it into the port (puts it into the port), type on here (types on there) —

1:33:39 Brennan: Riz appears in the room.

1:33:40 Biz: — And get Riz out of here, you're fucking—  (sees what he’s done) no!

1:33:43 Adaine: Wow, you're stupid.

1:33:46 Emily: I put my hands— (mimes putting her hands on Biz’s head)

1:33:47 Zac: Wait, wait, wait! (yelling)

1:33:48 Murph: Grab her, grab her. I put my gun to his head.

1:33:51 Riz: Those girls are going to the AV club, what happens to them once they get there? Five, four, three, two,

1:33:56 Biz: I, I, I, please, please, please.

1:33:57 Murph: Shoot a finger off, bam. (Biz screaming)

1:34:01 Fabian: The Ball, God!

1:34:01 Biz: This is in no way okay!

1:34:03 Riz: What happens, what happens? Where's the girls?

1:34:05 Riz and Fabian and Biz: Five, four, three, two, one.

1:34:07 Murph: Bam, another finger off. (Biz screaming)

1:34:09 Riz: Where did the girls go?

1:34:09 Biz: I get excited by the counting and I help count!

1:34:12 Kristen: A, B, C, D—

1:34:12 Riz: Stop, everyone stop. We're gonna go slower this time. I'm gonna give you 20 full seconds to tell me, and this time I'm gonna blow your fucking head off. Did you just kill my friend? What did you do?

1:34:22 Emily: I Burning Hands his crotch. (Biz screaming) (laughing)

1:34:26 Fabian: Guys, we turned into real bullies.

1:34:28 Riz: What happened to them?

1:34:28 Adaine: No, he's the bully.

1:34:30 Fig: He's a monster, I'm so mad at him.

1:34:32 Biz: (in pain) There are rules against this. This is a war crime.

1:34:33 Riz: What happens to them?

1:34:35 Biz: This is a war crime.

1:34:36 Kristen: Yeah, we are in a war.

1:34:36 Gorgug: (yelling) I'm about to cut your head off! (Fig laughing) (Biz screaming)

1:34:42 Kristen: What happens to Zelda and Penny?

1:34:43 Adaine: (crosstalk) What. Happened. To. The Girls?

1:34:45 Biz: Okay, okay, the girls are downloaded, into a body, they're back in their bodies now okay.

1:34:53 Adaine: Their own bodies?

1:34:54 Biz: Their own bodies.

1:34:54 Riz: What?

1:34:57 Biz: The palimpsest is for storing them, beyond divination, okay, if I were to have a morsel such as yourself in a palimpsest-

1:35:02 Zac: Hard slap.

1:35:07 Emily: Oh my God!

1:35:09 Siobhan: I’m gonna punch him in the face.

1:35:10 Brennan: (mimes being hit) Fully unconscious, fully unconscious again.

1:35:14 Adaine: Oh shit. Wait, heal him! Heal him!

1:35:15 Fig: Wait a second, this is a fucking spank bank. He's making a fucking spank bank, is that what he's doing? The camera cuts to Brennan, who looks pretty dead.

1:35:17 Adaine: No, heal him, wake him up.

1:35:19 Gorgug: (pointing) Riz, Riz!

1:35:20 Murph: I gotta use my healer kit to bring him back, give him one HP.

1:35:25 Ally: He gets 8 from me, we can hit him a few more times.

1:35:27 Biz: (crying) I'm not a bad guy.

1:35:29 Riz: You are an awful guy.

1:35:29 Adaine: Yes you are! You’re an absolute—

1:35:31 Riz: You're an awful guy.

1:35:31 Ally: Okay, I'm just gonna walk over here because I'm furious. (laughs)

1:35:34 Riz: What—

1:35:34 Emily: So mad.

1:35:35 Riz: Okay they get back in their bodies, what happens then?

1:35:38 Biz: Dude, girls never gave me a shot.

1:35:41 Riz: So they get back in their bodies, what happens now?

1:35:44 Fig: Riz, I'm telling you what happens. Tell me if this is incorrect, I'm Intimidating him.

1:35:48 Siobhan: I'm gonna cast Detect Thought so I can hear him as she asks questions.

1:35:52 Brennan: Go ahead and give me an Arcana check.

1:35:53 Ally: I'm biting my staff.

1:35:55 Fig: Tell me if this is correct. You are basically downloading them onto a computer, they go back into their bodies, but now you can do whatever you want with them, on some sort of computer.

1:36:05 Siobhan: I got a 21 Arcana check.

1:36:08 Brennan: (impressed) A 21 Arcana check? You see the memory Biz has of downloading these young women. (soft, bleak music) And there are memories of him deciding that this was a plan that he wanted to do, that this was like his big evil plan. That memory is false.

1:36:27 Adaine: So somebody—

1:36:27 Fig: Somebody changed it, your sister Aelwyn.

1:36:30 Adaine: Fucking Aelwyn again, Goddammit.

1:36:33 Fig: This just got fucking pinned on him.

1:36:34 Adaine: Shit.

1:36:35 Kristen: And now we're all here.

1:36:38 Adaine: You suck, you know that right.

1:36:39 Biz: No, but I rule, dude.

1:36:40 Adaine: No, you absolutely don't.

1:36:41 Kristen: Oh, you're a virgin. She detected you're a virgin, huh. (laughing)

1:36:47 Biz: Okay, I am—

1:36:47 Kristen: She uses that spell to target people that she can use.

1:36:52 Biz: (unconvincingly) I have a girlfriend in the Dune Fort and we've hooked up.

1:36:58 Gorgug: Blow your goddamn nose. (laughing)

1:36:59 Adaine: (crosstalk) Why can she use virgins?

1:37:01 Emily: I'm gonna, I feel really bad he was a pawn, so I take my hand and where I originally did Burning Hands and I do a Healing Word.

1:37:07 Brennan: You touch his dick?

1:37:08 Adaine: Stop touching his crotch.

1:37:08 Emily: No! It's Healing Word it's not touch, from afar. (Murph cackling)

1:37:11 Brennan: Okay. You see his dick glows for a second. (humming) (laughing)

1:37:14 Fig: I'm so sorry, I didn't realize you were a fucking pawn.

1:37:16 Murph: I use my healer kit and just try to sew his fingers back on. (laughing)

1:37:23 Riz: So sorry.

1:37:24 Murph: I do a d6 plus 4. I heal him for 8 while trying to fix his fingers.

1:37:28 Fig: We've been completely had by this.

1:37:31 Gorgug: But he still sucks.

1:37:33 Fabian: You shot off two of his fingers, The Ball, you have to live with that.

1:37:37 Kristen: Can we like go as fast as we can, can we go through this to get to.

1:37:40 Adaine: Hang on a second, Riz.

1:37:42 Biz: Biz.

1:37:43 Riz: I'm Riz.

1:37:44 Adaine: Biz, I'm sorry, it's very confusing. I'm reading your mind right now.

1:37:49 Biz: Okay.

1:37:50 Adaine: I want you to give me permission to delve deeper, to see if I can figure out who did this to you, okay?

1:37:57 Biz: Okay.

1:37:57 Adaine: Because you suck, but they suck more, okay.

1:37:58 Biz: Okay.

1:38:00 Adaine: Please don't think about anything creepy while I'm doing it.

1:38:03 Biz: Well now you've ruined that.

1:38:05 Adaine: Well fuck.

1:38:06 Biz: That's happening now.

1:38:06 Adaine: I just--

1:38:07 Biz: I wasn't there, I've just been shot and had my crotch burned off and then healed, and now you.

1:38:11 Adaine: How's your mom, Biz, is your mom good? Your grandma, is she cool?

1:38:15 Brennan: Is your Detect Thoughts active?

1:38:16 Siobhan: I may Detect Thoughts. So Detect Thoughts, surface they can't tell for deeper things they can tell, but he knows already.

1:38:23 Brennan: The intense sexual stuff he was just thinking about, and then you mentioning his mom, all you see is him riding his mom around with a little cowboy hat on.

1:38:29 Siobhan: Oh, god. (laughing)

1:38:31 Ally: Oh, I was like, the fuck.

1:38:34 Siobhan: Oh my god.

1:38:34 Biz: You keep mentioning, you mention fucked up shit and then my mom, how was I not going to synthesize.

1:38:38 Adaine: Do you know my sister, Aelwyn? (electronic music playing)

1:38:42 Brennan: You go boom, and hit a place in his memory that's been sewn off.

1:38:50 Gorgug: Okay, what are the girls for?

1:38:53 Fig: He doesn't know, he thinks it's for some spank bank.

1:38:55 Adaine: What about Penelope Everpetal, anything in there?

1:38:58 Brennan: You dig deeper into his mind, you see Penelope talking to, he has a lot of memories speaking to Penelope.

1:39:05 Adaine: Why are you speaking to Penelope, she's cool?

1:39:07 Biz: I'm cool too. Adaine gives Biz an “uh-huh, sure” look.

1:39:10 Brennan: You delve into his mind, finding these memories that have been cut out all over his mental imagery. You are able to trace this spell back, to the other day, before the Hudol party, meaning that these modifications to his memory were recent, and as a result of fear that somebody was getting close to discovering whatever this conspiracy was. Johnny Spells' burner phone, pings. (ping) (ping) (ping) (ping) (ping) (ping)

1:39:48 Emily: I take it out, I take it out. Is it ringing or is it getting texts?

1:39:51 Brennan: It gets six messages.

1:39:54 Emily: Okay, I'll look at them. I turned the read receipts off a while ago. (somber music)

1:39:59 Brennan: You see a picture of the Thistlespring tree. The Abernant home. The front door of Sklonda's apartment. The front door of Gilear's apartment. The Applebees residence and Seacaster Manor.

1:40:11 Ally: Like pictures of?

1:40:11 Brennan: Like pictures of them.

1:40:13 Emily: I say,

1:40:13 Fig: lol what

1:40:15 Ally: No! (puts their face in their hands)

1:40:16 Brennan: You see another text appear, this is from a number you don't recognize. It's not Zayn's phone. You see it says,

1:40:22 Unknown: Think very carefully about your next decisions.

1:40:27 Brennan: And that's all for this week on Fantasy High.

1:40:30 Siobhan: They can burn my fucking house down, I don't give a shit. [NEXT EPISODE - Episode 15: Family in Flames] [NEXT TIME ON FANTASY HIGH]

1:40:33 Brennan: You hear choppers and the parking lot is full of cops.

1:40:37 Unknown: You're all under arrest for the murder of Johnny Spells.

1:40:39 Fabian: (hands up) We're coming, we are compliant in whatever you are requesting.

1:40:43 Fig: Guys, I always thought I had daddy issues, but I'm starting to think I have mommy issues.

1:40:48 Bill Seacaster: I would never let any man speak to me the way I'm speaking to you right now.

1:40:53 Unknown: Let's make some fucking bacon! (gun shots) (yelling)

1:40:57 Gorgug: Let's go!

1:40:58 Riz: Do you wanna go to prom with me, mom?

1:40:59 Sklonda: Kiddo, I was so afraid you'd ask. (laughing)

1:41:03 Siobhan: Can I cast Detect Thoughts on myself?!

1:41:06 Brennan: Your phones start pinging left and right. (ping) (ping) (ping) (ping) (screaming)

1:41:11 Ally: This is gonna be a nightmare.

1:41:13 Brennan: It couldn't have been any other way.
