Family On Six
What happens
- 00:00:32 Aabria opens episode three; the cast say hi (Lou does creeping hands), introduce themselves; Aabria gives Danielle an adversity token For stunting on the intro — 00:00:32–00:01:20
- 00:01:33 Picks up exactly where episode two ended: the four have gone from potions up to the Applied Evocation Room and the door bursts open with a gout of flame and screams and laughter; Dream sprays water with her wand (Fight DC 12 with Magic die; 2 and 3, ones on everything), the wand points back at her and a water fire hose slams all four against the opposite wall; Dream takes an adversity token for the failed roll — 00:01:33–00:03:23
- 00:03:47 Through the doorway they see a 10-foot-tall fire construct stomping around, 12 or 15 Aqrabus students against the wall; most Chimeron hang back in the hall; Evan casts a detect-magic-style spell without a wand (Brains DC 8, a 9) and sees a student screaming inside the construct — 00:03:47–00:07:12
- 00:07:26 The Aqrabus students (Save us, dark one) have seen him do magic without a wand; Evan insists on his name; Dream bursts in to corral the construct with desks, Jammer helps by throwing desks with telekinesis, Sam herds the students (Charm DC 10, 8), Evan asks a student what happened and is told that's Penfrew — 00:07:26–00:13:05
- 00:13:12 Axelby Killoran introduces himself; Evan snaps at the Aqrabus students (Scorpion House); Dream (Grit, 22 with an exploded Magic die) and Jammer (13) build a cage of furniture around the fire being, Dream's extra effect is a sung Wait, stop, please! that makes it freeze and sit down; afterwards Sam asks "Did you rejoin choir after you moved?" (00:15:20), Jammer says that was like some Frozen shit (00:15:31) and Dream answers "I can't social justice right now" (00:15:41) — 00:13:12–00:16:12
- 00:16:21 Evan reaches bare-handed into the fire being (Grit DC 16, a 9, spends seven adversity tokens to make 16) and pulls out Penfrew, a green-robed Aqrabus student; Penfrew objects to being set on fire — 00:17:46–00:20:19
- 00:20:32 Jammer's wand changes: he takes a wand from the tray, a wand with grip and lacing, his basketball nudges his foot; the Aqrabus boy (Axelby) calls it some first year shit, but it's a cool wand — 00:20:32–00:22:43
- 00:23:00 Evan snaps at Axelby; Jammer asks his name, taps his head twice (Brawn DC 10, take half; then Charm DC 4); Axelby backs down; he explains the Aqrabus group were making sure Penfrew did not burn anything important; Applied Evocation is taken by Chimeron and one other house together — 00:23:00–00:27:07
- 00:27:10 Jammer asks Dream how she feels; Dream says her pink wand is not me; Evan's hand is sooted with fissures but unburned; Evan tells Dream that the world would be better if people were singing songs and shooting pink magic everywhere — 00:27:10–00:31:04
- 00:29:09 Six robed, hooded figures enter and stand at the points of a sigil circle; Evan's Grit DC 10 roll is 3, his eyes go black, and a ghostly man appears; four purple cultists leave — 00:29:09–00:32:20
- 00:32:37 The ghost is Professor Criggle, the dead professor whose contract keeps bringing him back; he asks about the fire and traces back the spell with a ghostly replay — 00:32:37–00:33:31
- 00:34:02 Criggle asks Penfrew if he is okay (he shakes his head), offers "you" a trip to the nurse (addressee ambiguous: Penfrew or Evan; Evan accepts), then lectures the rest on defensive casting while Penfrew leads Evan out; Jammer sends Evan a paper-airplane note (What's up?) and is told not to pass notes — 00:34:02–00:35:10
- 00:35:10 Evan and Penfrew walk to the nurse; Penfrew introduces himself as Penfrew Lairmsbury, says his friends do kind of wicked shit all the time; Evan warns that his friends should not be messed with (I've fought adults in a petrol station parking lot); Penfrew slips into the nurse's room to avoid saying what he wanted to say — 00:35:27–00:39:57
- 00:40:04 Penfrew comes out with a jug of water, thanks Evan, and says transferring out is not an option; Nurse David Stitchnit (a bismuth-pink bald bearded man) inspects Evan's arm, rubs something on it, and says Your arm is different — 00:40:09–00:44:36
- 00:42:16 Evan tells the nurse he came only because the school was the first explanation he ever got, that he would rather have a magical hospital, and that he needs the magic to stop; Stitchnit offers an outpatient exorcism, Evan weeps and asks for a Coke — 00:43:39–00:45:34
- 00:46:28 Stitchnit hugs him, mentions his daughter Maddy (a fourth-year; her house is not stated); says the pilot program was backed by him and Dr. Boodle; he says Evan would not be allowed to come back after the treatment (It all goes away. You go home) but that he can also stay and learn control; Evan describes his friends' magic, says I would like the treatment, and leaves — 00:46:45–00:53:27
- 00:53:30 First full day over, free run of the campus until 11 o'clock; the four go to the scuppers field, a bright green pitch about 50 yards square with two goals, feeling like a cube — 00:53:30–00:55:38
- 00:55:38 Jammer sends a note to Hoggle and Coggle, who appear within 20 seconds; Coggle goes off to get more people; Hoggle teaches broom flying; the group's Flight roll (DC 7) is a fiasco, Evan holds up one finger, Jammer gives away adversity tokens and coaches, and all hover five feet up; Dream goes hands-free (Brawn DC 8, lowered to 5; 6) — 00:55:38–01:01:01
- 01:01:06 While making the goat house sign Sam sees threads (Charm DC 12, 16): threads run from Sam to Jammer and Dream to Jammer, the one between Evan and Jammer is faint; kind words make it glow and Evan's You're my best friend. makes a whipcord of light hit Jammer and stay; Sam's Brains DC 5 roll is 3, Dream helps with her Guardian broom (Brains DC 8, 8): the thread's origin is Jammer, who has a natural 'Lady and the Tramp' thing — 01:01:06–01:06:24
- 01:06:27 Time jumps back about ten seconds: Evan takes Jammer aside and tells him about a voice from Dream's phone like the voices I've been hearing my whole life, asking that it be followed up if he is transferred; Jammer: Team stays together, they do Goat House on three, family on six; Aabria gives both adversity tokens — 01:06:27–01:08:36
- 01:08:38 Dream and Sam tell Jammer they think he has a magic ability, unrelated to his wand, to connect people who join his squad; Jammer demurs (that's everybody doing their part) — 01:08:38–01:10:00
- 01:10:06 Hoggle tells Evan to Try to fly again... don't sit on the back, in the middle; Evan's Flight roll explodes twice and he rises uncontrollably until he bumps the top of the cube; Jammer flies up (Flight DC 4, halved now); Dream and Sam fly up amid a flock of birds (It's called a murmuration!) — 01:10:06–01:14:17
- 01:14:18 Jammer declares them all trying out for scuppers; Aabria jumps a month ahead: the four are in the Chimeron scuppers uniforms about to play Hercinil; Aabria explains the rules (10 per team, three balls, magic on balls/goals/own armor/air but not on another person, six points a goal, three nine-minute quarters, penalty of two points for sending something out of the 50-yard cube); Evan's exorcist appointment is five weeks out (a letter under his pillow); Evan has not cast with his wand for a month and plays goalie — 01:14:29–01:17:49
- 01:17:49 The game: Sam flies for a ball (Flight DC 8, a 3) and Tallulah blocks her with turf; Dream plays blocker; Tallulah leads a flying V of four Hercinil students whose armor bursts into flame; Dream casts mist armor (Grit DC 9, 13, burns an adversity token for a 5+ margin), puts out all their armor in a glitter cloud and takes the ball; Jammer and Sam play give and go (Charm DC 9, a 5; Sam uses her tethers to keep the team in line) and Chimeron scores with all three balls — 01:17:49–01:23:56
- 01:24:16 Digby and Fergus charge Evan with two balls; Evan (Fight check, DC 20, with the common sense die: a 2, 14, "That is a 24.") wheels off his push broom and knocks both out of the air; Chimeron cheers; a Grit DC 12 notice roll (Lou 3, Danielle 10 then 11, Erika a dirty 20) shows Tallulah aiming a spell at Evan's chest — 01:24:16–01:30:00
- 01:29:30 Opposed roll against Aabria's Box of Doom: Dream teleports in front of Evan (Flight, 3 after a magic-die reroll); Tallulah rolls an 8 (d10+1, plus a magic die), beating her by more than five as Aabria says (Dream said three, so 8 - 3 = 5; flagged); the voices in Evan's head offer help (Can I help? Just a little, please?), a blue bolt blows up a goal and shrapnel hurts students while Evan and Dream vanish — 01:30:26–01:34:29
- 01:34:29 They appear at the booth in the Chimeron common room where they first sat; Evan's wand is formed (a bone with pink meat); Evan is changed (shadow like liquid darkness, skin white, two shadow hands on his chest) and a voice tells him They'll all die with or without you; Dream is transformed (no black makeup, glowing, Pantene hair, pink crushed velvet dress, buttony nose) — 01:35:04–01:39:30
- 01:39:32 Dream and Evan talk: Evan says everything she likes about him is what he wants gone; Dream says she has been romanticizing him; Evan answers that she is the person who fixed his leg — 01:39:32–01:42:02
- 01:42:08 Headmistress Philtrum ends the game (There's some missing students) at the score; a combined Grit roll vs 13 (Danielle 2, Lou 1) fails, Hercinil wins; a search party is set for Mr. Kelmp, Ms. Tanaka; Jammer calls it absolute bullshit — 01:42:08–01:43:43
- 01:43:53 Sam and Jammer cool off (They gonna catch these hands / We made an appointment), send a what's up paper note after Dream and Evan, and go through the post-game handshake line: Jammer chats up Khanh (Cleo) and then steps out of the line when he reaches the next person; Sam and Fergus exchange a handshake and a note (next week meet for drinks?); Khanh warns Sam to look out for all three of them; Hoggle pulls shrapnel from his arm — 01:43:53–01:50:44
- 01:50:44 A note comes back: common room; Aabria uses time dilation and puts all four together in the common room; Dream speaks in a cute voice (There seems to be some sort of issue); Evan slips into a deep voice that wants every hand under the Sun and then lies that he needs his nurse appointment moved up — 01:50:44–01:53:43
- 01:53:46 On the way to the nurse Dream searches her phone for folklore (Brains DC 18 with common sense, 5; takes an adversity token); Evan speaks as several dark voices (Oh, little girl, you think you can find me in a book somewhere?); Sam tries to charm the voices (Charm DC 20, 15, burns all her adversity tokens): her eyes go mirrored, six heads are seen, and one of the five that's not Evan leaves with Ma'am. — 01:53:54–01:58:07
- 01:58:12 Evan reaches a hand out of the shadow; Jammer tries to grab it (Brawn DC 20, 11) and misses by half a second; the Second Head claims "Evan was presented with a choice. He agreed to lean on our aid to save the girl, Dream." (02:00:15) and Sam answers that Evan is a minor, so that contract is invalid; Evan's Flight DC 8 roll is 1; the voices talk among themselves; Grasphlax introduces himself; a fourth voice refuses to look at Sam (She's really scary) and fades; Grasphlax offers to trade Kelmp for Sam's soul — 01:58:12–02:01:54
- 02:01:55 Dream mis-names him (Mr. Grampox, Gramgalda?), touches Evan's face with a dispel spell (Grit, magic 3, 5... 17, total, burns six adversity tokens to 23, five above the difficulty); the last three beings freeze in shock; Jammer wrenches Evan free; Evan throws the wand away — 02:01:55–02:04:27
- 02:04:31 Evan thanks them (You like, truly ran him the fuck off), says the beings have always existed and will always exist; Grit DC 6 (10 exploded, 17): he no longer hears the noise of crowdedness inside him; Dream kisses him (Erika calls it the awkwardest first kiss, Evan keeps his hands behind him); Terminator 2 walks over; Nurse Stitchnit arrives, Jammer says Evan needs his appointment moved up, and Aabria ends the session — 02:05:07–02:07:56
- 02:08:08 Next time preview of Episode 4, We're the Heroes: Evan and Dream discuss procedures for dangerous magic, which would make him a Muggle with a wiped mind — 02:08:08–02:08:43
