Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on metagaming by Rum Propelled Gaming Fair Warnings.
Sometimes we are not safe for work and others not safe for
real life. Journey forth at your own risk,
you dirty asshole. Craig, Craig.
I like it when you look. Welcome to Secret Invasion.
Part 3-4. Three.
I can't remember. Part 4.
No. This Part four.
Yeah. Yes.
Welcome back, everybody. For those who were here last
time, and those who are returning to us, at the end of
our last session, we had started at the Ross Correctional
Facility. As you guys had portaled in,
destroyed the portal behind you, trapping yourselves between a
large pile of corpses and prison walls.
As you sat there, you saw an individual or prisoner run from
the pile of corpses. However, unfortunately for them,
a large tentacle like thing whipped out, grabbing the person
and reeling them back in. After a little bit of
deliberation, the team decided on a prey and prey method of
burning everything to the ground and hoping it worked.
Which you did. The group moving forward, some
of them into the space lit a web on fire, trapping the creature
and starting it alight. However, on its turn it would
grab a number of the party members, and in a game of cat
and almost like cat and mouse, they would have to continuously
try to keep themselves from being pulled into the grasp of
the of the creature, while also trying to do enough damage and
escape its tentacles if it get if they get grappled.
In the end, one of the players determined that it's the bottom
of the creature's head. Where the tentacles were
protruded from was its weak point, the neck hole and
tentacle. The what?
The neck hole, as you call it. The neck hole, that's right.
So coming out of this giant pile of corpses was a large head like
plant creature with large tentacles coming from its neck
hole and several using teamwork. Several of the the party members
used a flaming sphere as well as catapult and a number of other
fiery missiles and projectiles to shove the sphere of fire up
the neck hole of the creature and eventually burning it from
the inside and killing it on the spot.
Meanwhile, several other party members were beset by zombies
that the creature had picked up from its body and chucked at the
party members. At the end of the fight.
The party had noted that the prisoners that were grouped up,
kind of penned in by the guards, had had a number of zombies
thrown into their midst as well, and they had in the middle of
the fight turned into zombies and began to assault the guards,
who then turned around and killed them all.
After the fight, the party approached the guards to see
what the hell was going on. And upon learning that this
group of ragtag kind of Renaissance fair type
individuals had showed up at the gates of the prison but or or
cajoled their way in and then immediately began systematically
pulling prisoners from their cells while holding the guards
off, beating the prisoners to this large creature which was
turning them into zombies and then taking those zombies in on
to like buses and shipping them away.
It was revealed in the last few minutes of the session that the
group of ragtag Renaissance folk who are doing this were none
other than Franklin, the Turtle, and several other shadowy
figures yet to be identified. On the heels of this discovery,
the door opened into the the meeting room where everyone was
sitting and I, Matt and Icamp, walk in dressed as a wizard and
say, hey guys, what's up? It's about time.
We have a lot to do is that when the world bends and shakes and
rips and tears and yes Sir, the world bends, shake rips and
tears and a little #8 pops up, I think. 9.
Nine now as a screaming sound that seems to be an have an echo
through 1000 Worlds emanates as suddenly atomizing in space in
the room, our missing party member appears.
What's the sound it makes? I'm trying to think of like, so
I think it's like in Transformers or Tron where like
I think it's Tron where like somebody gets hit and they make
that kind of like echoey kind of.
And I can't really think of how how exactly it goes.
But it's like a like a if you put someone screaming through a
like a voice modulator and then ran it through some sort of,
like, techno like machine to turn it into like actual notes
versus versus just like the sound of someone screaming.
Does that help? Yeah.
Hi, Barrett. Barrett.
Oh, you remember getting atomized.
You remember not existing. You had no form and you were
floating in what seemed like a blank void for an eternity.
Can you make me a Constitution savings throw as you come back
to reality? Oh fuck, that's not going to go.
Well. That went better than I
expected. That's a 15.
OK, you managed to hold the hold, the the pull the shattered
pieces of your mind back together as the as in your
mind's eye. Your vision splits into five
different views and then finally single back together into this
one reality. As you are prone kind of, on
your hands and knees on the floor of this office, you don't
recognize where you are, but you do see the other party members
with you. What?
The fuck did I take? I don't think you took anything.
I think you just like, I don't know.
I think Bree here experienced something similar.
It's just kind of popped out of existence and then popped back
in. Yeah, I think it is.
The opposite of take. Oh God.
It's the opposite of take give. I gave myself to something and
it consumed me, I guess. Oh.
Given a lot right? Now, that sounds kind of second,
all right. So am I supposed to be seeing a
map? Right now it's just kind of
theater of mind. I don't have a office conference
room. Oh, just checking met.
You know what the Hell's going on here then?
And I point specifically at Barrett too.
Who just, I'll move you guys. I'll move you guys to this
battle map. So you have something to look
at. Also, is Todd in the room with
us still? Todd the guard?
Yes, he would be. He looks really racist.
What a bitch. He looks racist.
He.
Just looks racist. You look at him and you say that
guy's racist and I can't describe to you what he looks
like because that would be racist.
So you decide, OK. But.
Dude's your own adventure. Is it choosing a racist?
Or his like or like it. Just how he's dressed, I guess.
His overall visage is what makes him racist.
I was more looking for him. Maybe he's wearing like an ice
hat or I don't know. So to Barrett popping back into
existence, just making sure he wasn't, like, screaming his head
off and and that Matt wasn't like, shooting with fireball or
something. I don't know.
I mean, I'm looking at this curiously.
That's weird. Hey guys, how?
The hell did you get here? Teleport.
I'm still a bear and I wave at you.
Dot. That's so cool.
I wish I could turn into an animal.
Maybe I'll get Polymorph one day.
God that. 'D be I'm not my head.
Yes. Like, yeah, you got to do it.
Man. Magic is awesome, guys.
I just have this huge grin on my face.
Anyway, sorry, I I spaced out on that.
What was your question? I'm sorry, what?
What's going on here? Well, what's going on here is
consequences for my actions. Kind of.
So let's see you guys know how with your rhythmic and veracity,
we had this whole thing where like, you know, we said
characters remember what you remember, and then they know
reality and all that. They know they're just deity
characters and really fucked with some people, right?
So I gave Franklin the most terrible back story I could
think of, because I didn't. This was before, you know, I
knew any of this was real, right?
I thought it was just AD and D game, just having fun, you know,
making fucked up characters. But it's not.
And now he knows that I did it and he's trying to kill me.
So he came here, Yeah. It sounds like a very solid
reaction, honestly. I you know, I don't blame him
because I have his. When your rhythmic veracity
first happened, I we also got their experiences.
So like it kind of fucked me over too because I got his back
story as well. Like I experienced it, but like
obviously it wasn't like, you know, core.
Memories to. Me, it was just a traumatic
experience. What lesson learned?
Careful who you emotionally damage, and I look directly at
the screen. So wait, how did they go from?
I mean, I know we just fought a giant tentacle monster, but
doesn't seem impossible, but how did they go from being just D&D
characters to killing people and taking their bodies in vans or
something? Whatever we saw in that video.
The same way we're probably able to use magic.
That's true. Yeah, so if I know, if I
understand what's going on correctly, that creature outside
that you killed, right. If you remember, That's right,
Justin, you weren't here at that time.
But we got in the campaign a these roots, right, These death
roots that turned things undead if you put like a body or a
skeleton next to it. And then Regina turned it into
her familiar, so she gave it life.
And that's the thing you just killed out there, all right?
So you're not. Going to be mad at us now too.
First Franklin and now Regina because they killed her.
Familiar. You know, I have no fucking
idea. Half here.
We're just missing everyone. Good.
Guy. I have no idea, although they
should attended by her. It was it was her report
decision that that led to that. If she was, if she was near it,
she could have watched out for it.
She cared for it that. Much, I mean.
That, or she's part of it now. You pulling the new.
Card. No.
That, or she's part of this. Oh my God, a bigger conspiracy
the whole time. Well, I mean, think about it.
Regina's back story is that she was made an orphan and abandoned
by her parents. So if Franklin had that big of a
reaction, what do you think hers would be?
Yeah, I'm going to say character.
If I like being orphans, Y'all really like making fucked up
characters. Don't you?
You know we've learned our lesson.
Have you. Thank God Rural has a great back
story and a loving family. Rural.
Rural can, actually. Be of help here.
Where is Rural, New Rural Sons? We can probably call him Yeah,
I. Was going to think if we make a
call a lifeline. I I point at my neck.
So all of this started because after the last eurythmic, Rural
gave me his torque. That was just.
Going to say. Nothing bad ever happens when
the royal sons are around. It.
Can only get better. So they yeah, he gave me the
torque. We came back, I had it.
I realized what it was and the Bulls started rolling, right.
So if you want, if you guys, oh, actually, this is great.
So while you guys were doing all of this, I've been out doing
other stuff because I'm trying to avoid getting murdered.
But go ahead and open Google, Google News or whatever news
program you like. And look what I did.
I went legally distinct Fight Club on this shit.
What? Am I Googling?
I, as a bear, pull phone out of nowhere and just start tapping
on. It.
God, that's so cool. Magic is so great.
So on the 1st on the front page of the news, almost like out of
a movie, you guys see that there are widespread announcements and
panic. The stock market is currently
crashing as the news has announced that all all debt in
the country has been deleted from most from every like
database. So there are no there are no
more online debts. Obviously paper ones might be an
issue one day, but yeah, that's what I've been doing.
That's pretty awesome, dude. Fuck yeah, right.
I knew my student loans were gonna get.
I was gonna say my student loans.
Yes, yeah. I mean, Biden's not gonna do it
so. Yeah, no, they won't let better
do it ourselves, apparently. Yeah, the.
Government anyway, yeah. So that's kind of like a skinny
on kind of what's going down, like, so my plan and Jess turn
to you. We had this conversation.
I don't know if you remember, and I'm kind of like waving my
hands in front of your face. I I pull out the the the chicken
wacker just out of nowhere. Just magically, there's a bear
holding a Golf Club now. Yes, OK.
Can. I see this.
You're a bear. Yeah, I turned into a bear to
finish off the like last round of combat because people were
about to get eaten and. Then you stepped on my and then
you stepped on my face. Yeah, I'm not a very graceful
bear, so. Much not meant.
For the circus, it's fine. It's a rough life.
So what? What's happening with the
chicken? Wacker Yes, that is a two-part.
I needed you to bring it to that government place because it is
untracked. It's an untraceable location.
But since you brought that there, I can just take that
little piece right off the end there.
If you want to screw that and I can, I can go find it.
Also, Jax, I'm pretty sure Kat is here and that magical weapon
is specifically made to kill her.
Oh, I can't wait. Yeah.
Wait, wait. Isn't Sammy J going to bring us
back to the Super secret meeting space?
Yeah, so that's when I should unscrew the little cap on the
bottom and put it in the Super secret meeting place.
So you already you already went there, right?
Yeah. With that item.
Yes. So it's been there.
So all I need is for like the piece off of it now.
OK, well I attempt to screw it off.
You are able to. It is designed to unscrew.
Yeah, but she's a bear. That's true.
Make a Is that sleight of hand? Yeah, probably.
At disadvantage, do bears have opposable thumbs?
They do not. I googled it recently.
I don't know. We don't ask.
Why? Why?
OK, roll at disadvantage. Nine.
That's. 9. Humans, primates and raccoons,
right? With opposable thumbs anyway,
yeah. I googled it, mainly actually
because I was like, they're always getting into shit.
Do they have opposable thumbs? How do they get into shit it?
Was pure curiosity like genuine curiosity?
Yep. Then maybe in an alternate
world, raccoons could have become the dominant species if
they learned how to cook food and got bigger grains.
You know, 100% they washed their hands.
They were more motivated. They washed their hands before
we did. Jesus, that's true.
You guys see a #10 appear and you all become raccoons now.
I'd. Play that one raccoon versions
of ourselves now. I mean, I can fly.
All I can think of is the movie Tom Poco I don't know if you've
ever seen. That.
Oh God, yes. But yeah, that's.
Exactly what it would be, those type of shenanigans.
That'd. Be fine.
Oh all. Disadvantaged.
You only got a nine. That's.
Sad. So you are unfortunately unable
to unscrew this thing as you keep kind of like pawing at it
and you got like you you hold it between your two legs like
they're your bottom legs, trying to like hold it steady while you
like try to turn the thing by using your palms.
But it just it's just not working.
I'm just like, I just. Do you want to?
I just handed over to you like a grudging thing.
Like OK. I'm sorry.
You did really good though. I all unscrew it and pull the
little top or the tab off the end.
Cool. All right.
So obviously I'm going to split off after this because that's
just too meta. But I want to talk to you guys
about what comes next, what the threats are, any questions you
have, and what you want to do next.
Because all right, so sorry, I'm ADHD as fuck.
Back to the beginning. Franklin's plan, yes, is to kill
me. But if you guys remember from
from from the game a number of months ago, he had another plan
that was to turn an entire dungeon into zombies, right?
Yes. Remember that he wanted a horde
of zombies that he could release at any time.
Yes. What he learned also about this
world is that there are no real gods here.
The there are no real clerics. The clerics and the bishops and
the pastors and the priests, whatever the fuck you want to
call them. All over the world they have no
actual power. So there's nothing that can
actually, you know, really put down like a zombie apocalypse
like you can in the D&D world, 'cause you don't have turn on
dead, you don't have radiant damage.
Holy water doesn't exist here as far as I know.
There are no clerics. I look at Josh except maybe one.
But yeah. So his plan is, I think, to
create a bunch of zombies and then try to send them to as many
places as possible to start as many different apocalypse,
zombie apocalypse as possible and if just overwhelm the world
to turn into a whole wasteland and hopefully I'd get bit.
That's. Very Plan A.
Rod. It's a pretty good plan, though,
for a teenager you got to remember.
Yeah, yeah, So. So it's pretty good in its
effectiveness. It's not very elegant.
It's. Like bringing an A bomb to a
night site. Yeah.
And then that's that's actually Josh that's that's that's that's
our Plan B for him. You heard about A bombs he
learned about some pretty not. I don't know if it's an A bomb,
but somebody gave him just a really terrible item, just
really bad and he learned some pretty bad stuff from that and.
I couldn't have anthrax. It's a glitter bombs.
No, I don't think I gave him. I don't know if I want to tell
you all. It was it was the IT was the
whim. Franklin was leaning anyway.
I. Feel like you have to.
His his book. The Pokedex.
It's more than just a Pokedex. Wait.
What? Yeah, it's kind of the root of
all evil. You gave this to.
A major book? What the heck?
Yeah, I thought it would be. What are we talking about?
This was before I knew D&D was real, guys.
I I gave him this book thinking that was played well into his
character. He was really leading into
evilness. Everybody else was just kind of
dabbling. He was really going it for it,
so. So you made him Opie?
What does it do? What does the Pokedex do besides
tell me about cute Pokémon? It's yet to be determined.
It kind of grows with him. The more evil actions he he he
does the. Wronger now he's.
Changing the book to be. Called.
But. I mean it.
I I guess I could. This is good.
I'm actually sharing some
important information I guess, because the the main thing about
it is that if he ever does a good act, the book does leave
him. Oh, we're fucked.
So you said there's other realities we can go to, Matt, we
don't have to stay here in this one.
It sounds like this, this, this plan, it's kind of fucked.
There might be some like, like the Astral Sea.
Were we talking about that earlier?
Can I like float? Let's go there.
No, that's that's actually, yeah, that's the plan currently.
Obviously we're going to try to stop this 1st, right?
Guys, we're gonna. I'd like to try to stop this
first. We could give it the old college
street. I'm gonna feel really guilty for
basically eternity if I'm technically the reason that
Earth, whatever earth this is, dies.
You won't live that long. It's can't be that important of
an Earth number on like number what, 9.
Now it's fine. There's more of eight others.
I put my head between my knees and start breathing deeply.
That's good. Oxygen's good for you.
I come over and try to pat you on the back gently.
Thank you. All right, So yes, that's the
plan is all right. I mean, you guys tell me what
you want to do. If you just guys want to say
fuck it and go like we can try, but we need some stuff from him,
so. Yeah, I know what.
Do you mean? Let's go kill that motherfucker.
So, so here's the thing, right? He portaled here, I.
Think we can kill? Him He portaled here using using
Jillian's phone that she got that went from our world to
their world, so they had a like a tether point we have what?
I said the GPS the. GPS.
Didn't we destroy the iPhone? He did I Yes.
So he said no. No, no, I think the iPhone was
did somebody take the iPhone? I think just had the iPhone, but
somebody took the somebody took the the pocket rocket.
Yeah. And then I think Olivia.
Also, the iPhone is what I blasted.
You destroyed the the, the dude that was like the focus of
magical power who was turning into bugs.
The dude machine that was sold the portal open and then closed
it. So does that mean?
Does that mean Franken I. Thought the I thought the iPhone
was. Attached.
I think they are. There's somebody picking up.
I don't think they did, but I could be wrong because I
remember it cracking and then I remember someone fucking with it
and it like being attached and then Josh mended it.
I did. Yeah, you tried to mend.
It. I do remember Josh mending it
because we cracked the screen the first time we used it to go
to White Castle. Worth it?
Delicious because. We couldn't.
I don't. I thought it was attached to the
living thing, covered in bugs that I definitely destroyed.
It was because you were only able to remove the pocket
rocket. Never mind then.
Yeah, because I remember I wouldn't touch the iPhone
because iPhones are the Dagam evil.
Root of all evil. Eventually you're fucking mixed
up. Turns into an.
IPhone. So if the portal's closed,
Franklin and his peeps are are here.
Do you have any idea where they might be staging their zombie
build up army? And yeah.
Well, Franklin likes bugs. I've got one of those bugs in
like a jar in my bag. That's.
Gross. True.
Wait. Can I see that?
You kind of see me turn around and shuffle in nothing and then
I come out with like the bug in a jar in between my 2 paws.
I begin clapping extra dimensional space.
Fuck yeah. By the way, it seemed like you
did something memory wise. I think you might need.
To do that to this guy. I point to Todd, who's probably
just staring at us pull the bug out of the back.
A bear just pulling things out of nowhere.
A bear? That's magician.
Todd's just like, and I get paid enough for this shit, I'm gonna
call the cops. I'd just kind of stand up.
Just like, hey Todd, why don't you just not jump on him, Try to
cast modified memory on him. He makes a saving throw.
You probably look up. Later I see you jump on him and
I just like walk over and like put a paw down on top of him.
Damn it. Go to sleep.
Go to sleep.
It's the Iron Man moment. He falls asleep.
All right, well, modified memory did not work on him, but
nobody's going to believe him, so let's drag him into a closet.
Except for the video. Evidence.
They got here too. I don't know how we're going to
handle that, they said. And that Sammy did want us to
contain and stuff. I don't know if he means that or
not. Maybe we can just pretend like
we didn't see that. Sammy should be able to take
care of this video evidence, right?
Yeah. Pull out the Game Boy.
I pull out the Game Boy. Real quick and I go.
At just pointing it at myself in like the ceiling, I'm like, hey
Sammy, So we found some damning evidence on some video.
Calls. Or no, not video call.
I'm video calling you the the, the, the the video cameras that
are in the prison. It's very evident magic is
happening. All right.
This is Sammy Jade. I'm.
I'm gonna get on that. I'm gonna get my people.
We're gonna send a subpoena, OK, Sammy, we're gonna delete it.
OK, Sounds good. They're.
Gonna see us talking to Matt. Nice talking, nice talking to
me. Wait.
Wait, Josh, before you hang up before?
You hang up. OK, Sammy, Sammy, have you had
any reports of like zombie type stuff anywhere?
Let me let me look. Hold on.
See, we scan local PD. MBJ, what have you been doing in
your free time? How are you?
Nada. Cocaine.
OK, sounds a. Lot.
I lost so much money in the stock market and probably wait,
but yeah, you know, right? He A couple moments later, the
voice of Indigo pops up. She says.
We're getting a lot of unusual activity coming from the
Internet or the Pittsburgh or the Columbus International
Airport. Oh, I think that's what it be
called. Hold on.
Yeah. Yeah.
Activity. So large number of police headed
that way. Ah, OK.
How? Far is that from here.
Like an hour 45 minutes. That's a mystery.
Van That's about enough for a short rest.
Oh yeah. Speaking of which that somebody
said something about low magic in this area.
What about those spell slots? Nothing happens on the short
rest anyways. It's a spell slot.
But you know what the spell slot is?
We put? You played the game.
Oh. That's true.
True. Are we going to, are we going
to, like, sit on the grass and watch the clouds and rest?
We got a van amongst Wait, wait, Matt the.
Dead. Bodies.
Did you saying that you're not coming with us too?
No. I have to go to and I hold up
the little piece I took from the from the chicken wacker.
I'm going to head to Sammy JA's house because we I think need
those reality mushrooms that they have if we want to do this
right. Oh, OK, 'cause they had some
there. And well, if we're going to be,
you know, leaving reality to go travel the Astral Sea and be
super cool, we should probably have a little bit of secret
sauce with us, don't you think? I'll look around at you guys.
Yeah. I like.
Secret Sauce. Boss is good.
Yeah, we probably need that. We'll make sure to.
Stop to get some more fries. So yeah, that's my plan.
I think right now, unless you guys want to discuss a different
plan, but it sounds like it makes a lot of sense that
there's probably a disturbance at the airport.
Plan is to distribute these zombies as widely as possible
are. You going to be able to take
Sammy? J By yourself though, planning
on thinking with portals, so you're just it's a sneaking
operation, you're not taking anyone out, just in and out.
Something like that, yeah. You'll see, it'll be fun.
OK, well. What did we do with the bug in
the jar? We?
Let's see. I bet you could use that to
track down where exactly Franklin is.
I've got some divination magic though.
I think one of you is a divination wizard too, so you
could probably use that to track them down.
But anyway, back to what I was saying before about the when
before we got, we got on the whole topic of like you know
he's got a book up the root of all evil, blah blah blah blah
blah. So in in that.
Portal, Did you? Guys find any evidence or
anything, like pointing to what exactly he was creating with
that at all? Yes.
Took a picture. Oh yeah, I did.
Again, I turn around I. Rummage through nothing and then
I pull out my phone. So cool.
Gosh. All right.
Looking at it, wow I zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, pinch, and scroll.
Where's this thing and I? Point to the bowl next to it and
like in the photo. Wait, The ball.
The sphere. Yeah, I'm pretty.
Sure. I'm pretty sure it's a bomb.
Yeah, I didn't. I shake my head.
Like vigorously, yes. Shit.
Well then I do. Like a little charade.
Of like me touching something and then me getting blown back
and I just fall over. Oh my.
Gosh, I'm. Going to make a check to see if
I follow along. Nope, you're just you.
I'll just stare. You're just a.
Bear waving your hands did did. Did anyone else understand what
she's saying? I'm pretty sure she's talking
about how it. Exploded.
I. Pointed you and nods like OK so.
It looks like this. Was a small.
Prototype. And he made another.
One that is much, much larger and I looked at Josh.
So your comment before about bringing an atom bomb to a knife
fight is. Pretty accurate.
Well, shit. There's a bomb.
Great.
Do you do? You.
Perhaps. Understand those scribbles and
can tell me maybe. How it works?
Sure, maybe I could figure. Out a way to disarm it.
Oh, that's smart all. Right, you actually have Arcana
too, so why don't we both look at this?
Actually, multiple people have Arcana, so we could all look at
it of Detect magic. Or yeah.
Well, we're looking at like the photo though of the paperwork.
God. Another Nanny 1.
Too. Oh, oh, oh, like.
Arcana like I'm rolling. Yes, a lot.
Oh. Shit.
We're. Doing really good.
Oh no. Is this the only picture you
took? Yeah, it's so blurry I can
barely. Damn, you guys didn't happen to
save. Any of the papers did you before
it exploded or? No, no.
But I think Olivia did grab something.
Oh, I got I got some pants. But that's pretty much it, yeah.
Dude, do you need a shower? Here I reach forward and I tap
you and I cast Prestidigitation. You're now clean.
That's so much better. And I cast it on your pants too,
Lord baby. Jesus, I think everyone.
Thanks you for that and all of their nostrils do as well.
Would I be able to remember? Anything of what was on that
table because I stood over there for like a minute and I might be
able to recreate it. Sure, go ahead and give me a
history check. 21. Hell yeah.
I'm sitting. There, I'm like looking over
that picture and I kind of like jerk up, right?
And then I turn back into myself out of my bare form and I'm just
like, wait, I think I remember some of this.
And then I pull out my sketchbook and it just starts
scribbling away. Yeah.
So over the next. Couple probably like 10-15
minutes. If you guys are sitting here
that long, you would be able to more or less sketch out a good
chunk of the paperwork that you have seen on hand.
But while you're doing that, I don't know if you guys are
trying to leave right away or what your guys's plan is, so I
won't conclude that until in. Between I was gonna.
Say I can. Walk and draw.
Let's go. Yeah.
In. In and in that too I would try
to look for the break room and take some supplies just to
amplify my own and look to Justin and go.
I think we're going to need a little bit more health potions
and try to look for a coffee pot a maybe some some filters and
maybe maybe a toaster oven or or a toaster.
And maybe a microwave? Too and takes their parts apart
and start creating. Oh, and preferably.
A. A.
Clean. Jar or two.
If not, I can just empty 1 real quick and start trying to.
Produce some health. Potions in the car on the way?
Sure, yeah. You would be able to find.
In kind of like the break room all of these kind of parts and
pieces that you would need. I also if you can, I was just
going to say I also have those the one Justin has that's what I
was trying to say. Justin has a health potion.
I have a health potion. So I figured if anything we I
could take those and like try to either either like.
Recreate if you. Will or like I don't know re
imbue them so that I creating more.
You know if if if anything trying to try try trying to do
something with it. I'd probably also look for any
ingredients that I might think that's inside of it.
That's. Floating.
Around. Yeah, I mean, I look at.
Him. I reach into my pocket, bag,
jacket, whatever. Pull out my the potion that I
had and just hand it to him. He definitely.
Knows more than me about that. So Josh, you have an ability to
create? More health, potions and stuff.
I am an alchemist, Sir. Got it.
Yeah, tell me exactly how that then works.
I. I mean on the.
On the on the trip there, I would kind of set it up in the
back of the van while everybody else is seated and such great,
now we have a meth van. Also.
When I turned it back into myself, my arm was still like
bleeding with a pretty big bite mark in it, and I just ignored
it to continue drawing, so I probably left a nice trail of
blood. Oh no.
I would kind of you're you're saying it was a?
Regular health potion that they gave us.
So it's a one time use kind of deal for the whole thing so we'd
have to down the whole thing. Do you have?
Any. Description on exactly what that
would be like in this world for your sake?
Or am I am I rolling here? Am I just improvising just.
Didn't. Want to stick on any of?
Your imagination there. No, I mean if.
You if. You have a thought as to how
this would work, Like feel free. I I'm assuming this is a
mechanical thing that you're doing with your with your class
that has some ability right to do.
Create this or are you? Trying to create new health
potions. From scratch.
Like by replicating more of a replication than current match.
Because I am an artificer by trade, alchemist by sub trade I
guess. And I have some Alchemist
supplies with me that would probably include like some of.
My. Alcohol brewing stuff, but not
like the full, the full full meal deal of of all of my
abilities because obviously I'm on the road, right?
OK, give me a tinkering check because you have Tinker stools,
right? You have.
Alchemist Supplies. If, you're if.
You're that'll work too. Go do that.
There's no roll with it. Necessarily, it looks like it
just does have The Alchemist supplies.
I think it adds your proficiency.
To the roll correctly correct. So.
And where does that lie? Proficiency is +3 currently, so
I could just roll the D20 with +3 if you want, sure.
Oh, that would be a 16. It looks like or did it add my
oh, it didn't add my proficiency.
So 1919, nice, yeah, with a 19 you will be able to, using all
of these parts and pieces that you pull from the break from
before you guys leave, create a very meth kind of like set up
looking thing except it's a distilling health potion.
You put a sample of like a little like vial of the health
potion in one portion of it, and it kind of.
Using. I can fill in some blanks for
you if you want go for it. Basically.
What I what I would intend for it is at least I would take some
of the heating implements from some of the other parts and
pieces and then the magnet from the from the microwave to act as
a filter because it's usually got copper pieces in it.
So I can take those apart and put it in, put it in the the
under the heating implements and take the health potions and
actually redistill them. So.
That I get concentrated shots of it, basically.
So instead of like one health potion that's got like diluted
stuff in it, I I redistill it into multiple.
Of the. Of the same.
Same kind of caliber that you would have gotten for drinking
the whole thing, but in a much smaller package.
Nice. Go ahead and roll me two D42-D4.
1. I might do so with 2D four and
it'll do +2 you get out of one health potion.
The first time you do this, you get 4 health shots that have the
same potency as one health potion.
So you want me to do it? Again, or do you want to?
That is entirely up to you if you want to do it again.
If you want to do it again with the second one, then yes, you
would. You would do the OR the alchemy
roll again. Oh, sure, I can do.
That too. Oh God, advantage 'cause you
already. Have it set up what?
I'm not rolling with D roll 20 ever again.
I just have I-1234. I had two of them in a row too.
Just above that too. Was that roll 20?
Yeah. Using roll 20, there's three in
a row. Screw this.
I'm not rolling with you that anymore.
What the hell? It was fine.
I always roll. With DMD, that's what I.
Was doing before. But I was just over here, so I
figured I'd roll with this one to see how it goes.
I mean it's it was with that advantage their algorithm.
OK, their algorithm claims to be fair, but it's absolutely not.
I'm rolling. With D&D Beyond.
Once, just to check it. Yeah, that was a natural 20.
I think they heard us. Like we're.
Sorry, please. Very meta.
So with a natural 20, go ahead and roll 3D four, OK?
It's still rolling with D. And D beyond.
Because 1. 2/3 nice. 8. 8. Nice +2 so you get 10 potent
shots from that one file. So and like these ten are like
crystal clear, like a deep deep maroon.
Like royal, like red color, like a like a port red.
Yeah. You said it was 6 for the first
one or was that 4I apologize, it was 44.
OK, four for the first. 110 for the 2nd.
Total of 14, just making sure. 'Cause there.
Are six of us, so I'll just hold on.
To the two. Extra so. 4 for my right.
No, wait, no math. There's six of us, right?
123, yes. So everybody should get 2 and
then there would be two extra, right?
Correct. Yeah, so I I would.
I I would you'd be holding on to 4, correct?
So yes. So these are your normal, just
general everyday potions which should be showing up if you go
into inventory for everyone's ease of mind there.
Where did it go? I know Justin's wasn't working
but. So weird it's not there.
Potion of Healing just a normal. Regular Potion of Healing.
Which is? 2D4 plus.
Two the just the. Meta.
Wise, since we're here, you know what's interesting?
I also. Don't see the basic level one
listed in mine either. It's so weird.
It's so strange. It only lists like the greater,
superior and whatever. I know I wasn't crazy.
And then? I don't understand you.
You're in a, you're in the back of a van right?
Now with what I have figured it out, it is.
Listed as gear, not as a potion. That's weird.
Like if you don't. Filter it and you type in
healing. It'll appear, but it's labeled
as gear and not a potion, which I think is the weirdest thing
You're. Absolutely right.
Yeah. So everybody.
Should have two of those now. I'll I'll hold on to these two
extras just in case I can actually fire them at someone.
You might take a a smidgen of of some damage, but you'll get a
lot more back. Hopefully you said 2.
D 4 + 2, That's what it is. Yep.
Gotcha. That's a question.
Also game question. How?
Do you How do you roll a a custom D20 from beyond?
What you mean custom? Like you just you rolled.
Your your natural 20. You just did just one D20.
Yeah, that bottom left corner where the dice looking thing is.
Oh, I. Have it turned off I.
Think. OK.
Got you. All right.
No worries. Thanks.
So look at you guys. Anyone have any questions or do?
You want to chat about I How did you do all this?
This is. A weird this isn't a weird.
Space between you guys? Leaving and.
Not leaving because I'm definitely going to go over to
the Armory and pick up a few guns.
Yeah, I do have a question. Like how are you able to achieve
all this? Like, I know magic is totally a
thing now, but. I feel like we're reaching here,
reaching in terms of. What like them being able to get
here or? I mean being.
Able to do some of the stuff. That I've done in the last few
days that. Definitely that, I mean.
So if you're willing to reveal, sure.
I mean, I built. Myself to be a divination wizard
with luck. So most of this is just waiting
for the exact right time to do something like, you know, I I
mean, So what have I done really?
I mean, I what I went and you know, waited out outside of
people's houses like drop pianos and like bricks on them because
they're bad people and, you know, they're easy levels if
we're being put on us. But the.
The last thing the what I did just here with the whole credit
card death scenario that was literally just like just
Divination over like casting. Divination spells it over and
over to figure out exactly the right button to hit at the right
time to cause a cascade figure to delete everything.
Because everything's just ones and zeros, and if you do it at
the right time, it just works. OK, nice.
I like it. I like it a lot.
Somehow, Palpatine returned. Also, I mean the answer.
To all questions. Is always just magic, so.
Yes also. Jazz hands, so I mean.
That's the extent of what I've done so far at mostly I
discovered that I had powers and I realized, you know, I'm
probably, frankly is probably going to try to come for me
considering, you know, he was given the most powerful, like
dark object of all time. So you know, he found his way
here and I'm just trying to stay out of sight so he can't find me
because otherwise he would probably just set the bomb off
immediately. Do you think he's trying to lure
you out? With this zombie situation,
yeah, probably. OK.
Does anyone have? Disguised self.
I do just cause. Him to like.
Instantly kill himself. I mean, you could do that, but
like, if you're in the vicinity of him, that would probably
cause you to also explode, right?
So he's suicidal though, right? Is what you're saying.
If if I understand him correctly and I created him, though he may
have, you know, turned, did something different.
Or, you know, since the time I gained consciousness as a person
of multiple realities, maybe he had diverged and changed his
entire personality. But if if I was that, I think he
would probably, definitely kill himself in an attempt to kill
me, OK? So yeah, don't use.
Them. At least not to.
Look like that, right? So.
No disguising. Myself got it?
Well, at least not to look. Like this guy or is.
There someone? That would understand Franklin
and like get to him and listen. He would listen to.
Maybe. He really likes Mommy.
He. Does.
Like mommy? But.
Again, we don't. Know if or who of the other
characters may or may not be here.
You could totally confuse. Mame and just have another MAME.
I think it's pretty safe. To say that.
My characters haven't attended this. so-called your rhythmic
veracity. Yeah, so you're.
You're. Still kind of.
Vague on all of the terminology is what's been flying around
you, but yeah. You.
You do know, as as Barrett of these characters because you've
played with them yourself, Yes, I'm aware.
Of the people. But I guess your character.
I the question I guess you would have to ask and which is what I
had asked at the start even if. You didn't know?
All of this was accurate. Would your character, given the
opportunity, join along or would they be like Nah, so.
Something to consider. Sealand isn't very chaotic.
True. Neither is a nor, honestly.
But yeah, I mean, you could try. To talk him down for sure, if
you want to. But he did, you know.
Cross across. The travel multiple across
multiple realities. Just to do as much damage.
As you can. OK.
Thank. You.
Well, I think we get the. Rundown.
Pretty good. Yeah, so.
That's, that's that's where we're at right now and as we're
talking, I'm like putting. Several pistols.
In my like belt. I thought you were just so.
Anyway, the plan is eventually we're going to leave, right?
We're going to, if we can, if we can kill him and get an object
from the D&D world. We can leave.
We can use. The You already have the Do we
point to your neck? This is from.
This is from the realm of the gods, though.
Oh, you. Got me there I.
Guess you got a point is so like we could go straight then it's
AD. And D realm.
Does Franklin count? As an item from the D&D realm,
if he's a corpse, yes. He's an object I.
Point to Olivia. Pocket rocket.
The pocket. Rocket Oh.
Yeah. Oh, wait, I have that you.
Wait, you? What?
Yeah, we picked it up. Either I.
Do or Jesse did cat, whatever. Well, that.
Changes some. Things, yeah.
One of us picked up the pocket. Rocket.
Could we put them all in the pocket rocket and then Chuck the
pocket rocket back to the D&D ROM?
Yeah, put it in a. Volcano in the.
Back of the D&D ROM or we keep? The pocket.
Rocket and use it for our own base as we go to the D&D realm
that could be. Cool, too.
Just abandoned this realm for now.
Well, that's the. Question, do you?
Guys want to try. I guess this is a question for
the group. Do you guys want to try to stop
the zombie apocalypse from happening here?
Or do you guys would just want a GTFO and?
Become D&D characters. I mean, there are.
People that I really. Like here and would want to
continue living, so I think I would try to stop.
Look around it. Yeah, there's.
They're great. There's.
Other ones. Of those.
People that you really like out there, we could find those
versions. Remember, we're on iteration 10
right now of Earth. That's fine.
I mean, yeah. Oh my goodness, what if we just
found 10? Of the same person without
telling them what's going on. And we just brought them all
along like we're going sure, every single one we have all of.
Them are the. White.
Acid guy, they're going shopping.
Get in, bitch. We're doing both stuff, so if we
really. Wanted to using the Pocket
Rocket. I think we could probably just
go, but it sounds like you guys also want to, you know, not be
terrible people and have, you know, guilt just ride you for
the rest of your life by leaving the world to burn.
Feel like you're trying to? Push us in that direction if you
want to leave. I'm good.
Really. I'm good.
We can go, Yeah. I mean.
There's probably a. Lot of zombies at this point.
And again, we're still in Ohio, right?
If I can like, not, not be in Ohio, please.
Talk around. Free us.
I. Guess I have to be the voice of
reason. Here and say we we should try.
We should at least give it a try though, right?
I mean, maybe we can, you know, work things out like with with
Franklin and and and he can come along and and then you know,
hunky Dory every he never just burned a bridge.
And just just waved by and walked in the other direction
and no. I don't think it's worth.
It, I mean because those bridges, sometimes you end up
getting stuck on an island, the. Islands are nice, yeah?
So you run. Out of.
Food. That's not your problem.
Yeah, you. Just die.
So so I. Guess we have.
Options. We could either we'd either all
go to the to Sammy J to get the reality mushrooms and then just
bounce and live our best lives, or we or you guys try to stop
this from happening. Oh, Oh no, it's.
Not. We anymore.
It's you guys. You guys try to stop if I get
anywhere near Franklin. He's going to blow that bomb.
Yeah, we've discussed that. Yeah, that's.
True. So wait.
So it sounds regardless that the earth is fucked, right?
Either we get too close that he blows the bomb, or we leave and
it's covered in zombies. Well, you're you're forgetting
the. The the other one which is we go
there and we stop the zombies and the bomb.
I mean also. What's?
Stopping. Franklin from Once he's done
here with his zombie apocalypse, whenever coming, coming after
other realms, other stuff like that.
Do you think he has the ability to do that, presumably?
Death. My, if you made.
It to this realm. I'm guessing he's at other ways,
my at least. Plan right now.
That I kind of thought of in my head, other than like final
contingency. We can't talk him down.
The the the stuff is not going to work.
We managed to get Franklin throw him into the pocket rocket with
a likeness of Matt and inside of the pocket rocket for the most
part is a high entirely another sub dimensional space.
Although we did fuck would fuck that port of transportation up.
Maybe we should get something out of the pocket rocket because
you said it just had to be related to DND right.
So if we just get something out of the pocket Rocket, because
there's other stuff in there, right, we can grab something out
of there so that we can still have a way to transport through
the infinite sea and then just throw Franklin into the pocket
rocket with a likeness of Matt and he kills himself.
So we don't feel bad. Yeah, subject him both to the
pocket. Rocket and let him dig it out
exactly. Mm hmm.
Well, maybe I I look at you guys.
Wait, wait. Do you not, not, not, not you,
not. Not you I don't want to do.
That with that, that's the opposite effect.
I look over. I look.
Over it not. Die.
You're like the 10th I. Look over and there's.
Nine. I look over very suggestively at
Todd, who's unconscious on the floor, I believe.
Perfect. Confused this guy's self on.
Him put him in the pocket rocket.
He's racist, so he'll probably insult him.
Yeah, so this really sounds a. Lot easier than than maybe how
we originally planned, because all we have to do is convince
Franklin to go into the Pocket Rocket.
He's already familiar with the Pocket Rocket, right?
This shouldn't be hard. That's true.
Just say we've captured Matt for you.
He's inside of here. Why don't you and and your and
your and your bomb friend go in there?
What if he just? Tries to take.
The pocket rocket and destroy it, though, That's.
That's that's. Completely fine.
Like I said, we take something out of, we take something out of
the pocket rocket that we need to transport.
Still, 'cause there's still stuff in there.
There's still like. Then we still haven't.
Taken care of Franklin? Why 'cause he's not.
Well, you mean like if he doesn't kill himself inside the
pocket rocket fighting against if he just doesn't?
Go. In.
At versus. So.
So what if he decides that to kill Matt, he doesn't have to go
into the pocket rocket, he just has to destroy the pocket
rocket. Period.
Oh, I see what you're saying. No, he would know for sure.
Or at least I could tell him preemptively, too, that that The
thing is pretty much indestructible.
It's made out of, whatever the heck.
That adamantium. Yeah, it's made out of
adamantium. Now the other option.
Too is don't There's a prison cell in the pocket rocket that
we built. Well, he built actually, yes.
So yes. So the third alternative, 4th
alternative, 5th alternative. I don't.
I don't remember if he, if he, if he doesn't kill, you know,
blow himself up and Todd, 'cause I guess the question is, do you
think if he has the chance to like, fight me one-on-one, he
would instantly blow himself up? I don't know.
Or do you think he'd try to Duke it out first?
That would be a question for you.
Definitely try to Duke. Out first.
That's true, right? Yeah, I don't think.
He would try to. End it too quickly.
Because if he's going for vengeance, he really probably
wants to. Stretch it out the.
Misery. I mean, that makes sense, he.
Literally is, yeah. Oh.
So then we tell him we've gotten that inside the pocket rocket.
Inside the prison of the pocket rocket, right.
Packaged up real nice. Just for him and and he's and
he's a. And what did we do with?
Zombies. Presumably Franklin's.
Already released that creature somewhere?
I don't know. We could check.
Anyone wanna check? Well, we have to go in there and
get a. A object out of the way, right?
Check. And see if there's anything in.
The prison. Wait.
Josh how do? We get in there.
Fuck, we need the turd. Necklaces.
Or the crab slide necklaces. Yep.
Wait. No.
Damn. That's the only Franklin that
can create those. God damn it, we hinged
everything on. This turtle.
I do have to say Ash still. Likes him.
Oh. Wait no if.
If. Franklin had a conversation with
Ash before this. Ash would have been like, yeah,
that sounds bad, Ash, you should totally do it.
I remember. I mean you.
You can make me roll. A history check if you want.
But I do remember how how I originally was able to have
Franklin create these things. You remember.
You literally rolled your own history check.
Perfect. Oh, I take, I take, I take the
pocket. I turn.
It to a side and. I go look there's the there's
the original inlay for where the the stamp was on the that he
used to create the the mold. So if you just take if we take
this we get a little bit of gold and then I'm trying to think of
a look around some see I look gold.
Where the fuck are we looking to the.
Nearest pawn store. I look at Todd's.
Finger. Does he have a?
Wedding band on roll. AD 20.
I can roll an. Investigation if you.
Want it'd be pretty? Yeah.
Roll an investigation. OK.
We'll see it. I mean, it might not be gold,
but 1010? Yeah, he is wearing a wedding
band. He.
Well, he's not wearing a wedding band.
He's wearing a high school reunion ring.
Oh my God, like a douche That sounds.
Right. He's like.
In his 40s, right? Yeah.
Sounds right. OK, so hot belly remembering his
prime. It's got even more mass to.
It I can maybe make two of these, I was thinking I was only
going to be able to make one. Take it off his finger and it's
roll a strength check. It's pretty.
He's got fat fingers and he's not taking this thing off in a
long time. People have.
Weapons here. Sharp objects.
I mean. If you want to make that
decision to be that person, do it.
I'll strength check it first. Oof.
Yeah, that was a three. You.
Pull and his hand just kind of like limply rises and like the
fat kind of catches on the ring and just stops.
So we kind of need this. Ring guys to make that plan work
I was going to make. At least I'm going to look over
and be. Like you need some butter?
Yeah, go. Check the.
There would. Probably be butter.
In the prison kitchens, OK, I butter like substance.
I can't believe it's. Not it comes in A50 like 50
gallon barrel carpet. And roll it all the way up
there. Butter is large.
Are we buttering this guy? In his ring.
We are. I put his.
Entire. Body.
In it. He begins to drown.
Just kidding. Franklin might like.
It. Better we have to.
Disguise him as you. Later.
So I can't make him too. Too I would.
Have to clean him up you. Could say that anyway.
Buttered in this Yeah, we can. We can just tell Franklin we
prepared Matt. Oh yeah, and leave him.
Inside of the thing, OK, inside of the above marker lard or
whatever it is, that's how he's. Bound instead of being tied up
with. Rope.
He's just in a butter bucket. We captured him with butter.
He's basted. We didn't get an apple in his
mouth. But at least he's well saturated
anyways. So yeah, yeah, the I Lube up his
finger. Oh, baby.
You Lube up his finger and with that you're you.
With a little bit of controlling you will be able to get this
this high school ring off of his finger the inside.
Smells like. That that like cheese smell.
That's what it smells like. I just rub more butter on it.
Gotta get in this mold anyways. I I'm blanking on exactly.
What I had you roll. I think you eventually did make
a crafting skill that was specific for it.
Is there anything you would like me to roll, or should I try to
make my own skill based off of what?
Let me. Pull up Franklin and see what my
craft is. You are an artificer.
So I gotta count for something.
But you don't have. Tinkering where my my characters
OK so. Johnny's going to bed.
I was just kind of like giving him a thing on what was going on
and he. Wanted to add his two cents.
And he said that if we are buttering him and putting him in
the pocket, rocket guy, that we should shackle him down with ass
in the air and then present him. Can you go do what you want?
OK. Thanks.
Oh no. On two others as.
They have. Done.
Onto you. It's.
Accurate. My crafting.
Is a wisdom, But that was my What is wisdom normally used to
medicine survival? I think it was but.
Since it's, I used. My proficient skill.
I'll let you use a proficient skill, so either Arcana or a
Sleight of hand or a tinker tool or whatever dealer's.
Choice. OK, I'll use Arcana since that
seems to be the most accurate for the scenario.
Anna sets a 16 that will succeed.
You will be able to using this ring and kind of.
Are you trying to melt it down into two pieces or are you just
pressing it to the seal to like create one?
It was, I guess, go ahead, it was.
Pressing it to the. Seal.
And I think specifically in, at least in Franklin's case, that
it just so happened that it was the the poop symbol.
So I think I rolled weirdly bad on it or something.
Yeah. All right.
So you press. The seal of the gold ring to the
seal of the pocket rocket itself and you rotate it right.
Left one and one quarter. Rotation and then right again 1
rotation as you remember since you made this item and I'm just
about how it worked. And a light shines from below
and the mobile AL High School logo on the front top of the
ring is replaced instead. Now shows a small poop symbol,
but it is still the ring. Shit, Well.
Does anyone else wanna? Volunteer.
Also Josh. Can you send me the?
Map of the Pocket rocket. Oh yeah, I can try to do that in
the meantime. I mean just cause it's.
Not a charm. It doesn't mean it's not gonna
work. Well, it's just we're testing it
right. Now we're testing to see if we
can get it into get into the pocket.
Rocket ourselves? Currently, and that's why I'm
asking, does anyone want to volunteer?
Yeah, it has to be willing. Right.
A willing creature. Yes, You you've got a.
Charm will your will yourself into the into the pocket rocket
basically. And have this charm on the
person and touch it. Yep.
Which means you'll have to. Somehow get Todd to will himself
in. Unless he has, that's the plan.
But there was a way to. Get a.
Non willing creature there is, you have to beat him with.
It until their health is at one at least.
Well, and Franklin. Used command on someone too.
That's true. To force them at.
One point should have been assigned there is it's on the
inside and the inside of Franklin tattooed onto his
bladder. I am sending it.
In discord. AR.
Thanks. So.
Anyone volunteering? Who would it be safest?
For safest. Yeah, I.
Mean We don't know. Who's in there?
It's fair. Probably either Jesse or.
Olivia or Sonora? You haven't been in there too,
as Sonora. Anyways, Barrett, you haven't
been in there too much. I will go.
I haven't. I tear the.
Sketch out of my. Sketchbook that I've been doing
of that of like paperwork in the desk area.
And I hand it to Matt. And I'm like, here, I'll do this
thing. Hey, thank.
You let's see what happens. So I have to take the ring.
And will myself into the pocket rocket, that is correct.
Yeah, and then I will load that here in a second as soon as I
figure out where that photo got saved to.
This PC. Downloads OK, but I do not see.
Sorry. There it is OK Do I have to roll
anything to? Successfully will myself into
this. I guess give me a woo.
I don't. Remember.
Yeah, I don't think so. Based like it's a, it's.
Yeah. But that is.
Totally. Your decision still technically
at this point in time, Yep. All right, I just set.
That up. Let me grab here as tokens and
now it'll shift so that you can all just see.
We could also just all try to go in.
If that would make you feel better.
I could try to like mambo in you.
Hold it. Hey, mambo.
Mambo italiano. Just.
Want to go in Didn't? Someone want to be.
A centipede? A human centipede.
That already happened to me once.
I I didn't didn't. Didn't say I wanted.
To be, but if I had to choose, I would be the end I don't
understand. That.
Why? Because you're the only one
entering someone. Wait, are we?
Thinking of different things right now, 'cause my
understanding of a Centipede Man is the the horror movie where
they get, like, sewed. Where they get sewed ass to
mouth. Yeah, no, that's what that is.
I. Think he means he wants to be
the front person? No, no, I think.
He already claimed the. The front I did.
So. That's why I was like I.
Called in the back. Because as long as if if there
was any other better position, it's the back.
I think the. Difference is you think that are
you are you thinking that the centipede they're they're all
like having a chain sexual encounter or like understanding
that it's I mean depend on your mouth in this.
Situation. I guess that's.
True. Maybe Josh?
That that's fine, Josh. If you want to be the end, you
can totally be the end. That's right.
No. Judgments here.
Don't. Yuck my Yum.
So don't. Yuck my.
Yum just. You will yourself.
Into the pocket rocket, which is the kind of a strange experience
as you. You've described.
Yourself doing this before, but the experience, the sensation of
it is strange as you puff into a swirl of purple smoke in the
real world and then find yourself at the entry of the
pocket rocket. Just gonna move these guys over
here and then Jess is here can. You can I have me hold this.
Let me make sure I. Did it again.
I'm sorry, I'm. So.
Bad Jess save. OK, I got so you emerge from the
entry into a weirdly familiar Esque Dean the entry hall of the
pocket rocket itself, and you are facing directly down this
hall, looking at the prison whose door is wide open and is
empty. Do.
You put my hands on my. Hips and I was.
Like God damn it. Spocking knew it.
This is. Bad.
I mean, it's good for us though. Right.
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the. Monster No.
I'm pretty sure the monster. That we killed in the courtyard
was what was in the the cage in the pocket rocket.
So it's not like. Roaming.
Some of them, it's not roaming. Yeah, it's not.
Roaming, I don't think. It's roaming around anymore.
I think we've already killed it. So I'm in the pocket.
Rocket And the first thing I'm going to do is pull out my phone
and try to call one of them out there.
You have no service. Damn it.
There's no. Five in this.
Plane, Plane. They said.
They had service everywhere. The.
Door. I just thought of our hit Rich.
Scheme we're going to bring. We're going to be bring 5G to
all the universes. Yeah.
Capitalism, Campaign 2. .0 Yeah. This time, media.
Incorporate and communications. So I go through the dub.
Hallway and I kind of just like don't go through the Droid, but
like lean my head out and kind of look around to see if
anybody's around. So looking into this.
Room. The beds themselves are actually
all they would all be gone here, as this room seems to have been
turned into basically a war room.
There are large tables with large like modern fluorescent
lights pointed down. One of the immediate things you
notice is that a lot of the content here is actually
modernized. I walk over to one of the big
tables. Is there any kind of like
paperwork or anything going on? Looking over at the.
Table. Sure.
Walking over and looking down at the table itself, there is a
large map of the city of Columbus marked on it.
The airport marked on it also is a nuclear research facility that
has been kind of like noted to. On the side.
Where?
The the nuclear research facility is kind of circled.
There are notes jotted down of objectives to obtain nuclear
research attack, as well as specific modules for
construction. I pull up my phone.
And I start taking. Pictures and I try really hard.
Take steady in focus. Pictures.
All right, give me a sleight of hand.
Check. 04 more I do such a good. Job with your or no?
There. Wasn't a bandage in.
My bed, I was. Gonna say was it?
With the band, because I'll totally take that.
Not unless you have some sort. Of like stand or something I
mean. You can tell these are.
Blurry photos As you zoom in, your hands are shaking as you're
kind of overwhelmed as well. As I had described before.
Jess, when you entered into the that portal you immediately get
the sensation of basically quenching a desert like thirst
as ambient magic around you. You can.
Sense is. Very, very potent here.
OK, so I'm going to just. Take as many photos as I can,
like do the rapid fire shot and like one of these will be in
focus, I hope. Yep.
You do that while you take these photos you see kind of on the
wall. And.
In one. Corner what appears to be like a
shrine of some sort. Of shrine, yeah.
So. Approaching it you.
See what appears to be a hand painted like portrait of a
individual who hears kind of soft and facial features, kind
of Danish hair and also dressed very much like an English
gentleman. And a plaque underneath reads in
memory of Thomas Hamilton. And then under that.
Another. Inscription carved in by hand
reads. And all the world's will.
Burn. So, Thomas Hamilton toys.
Hamilton. I'm going to guess this altar
was made by. Flint, wait, is he dead or?
Is it an altar or is it? Like Hamilton, you know, like
captured, right? And like in stone you would see
it. Is it?
Is kind of like a statue of him as well as the portrait itself,
but I would just. Remind you.
Guys, on a meta level, this is a alternate reality.
Nobody is actually hurt in the game.
OK, I was going to say because the wrath of.
Flint might be a power remount leverage, definitely, but I mean
in. This game.
It's, you know, impactful, but I just want.
To clarify. I am not straight up murdering
someone's character in the main campaign.
I'm going to run into the. Bedroom right now and just be
like he murdered him. He murdered.
I can't. Play him anymore just to make
sure. Everyone knows.
Before we move forward, yeah. Yeah, this is.
World 9. The.
Darkest timeline? Right.
I'm going to take pictures. Of the altar too, again, trying
to keep them in focus as best as I can despite shaking.
You'll be able to if you're. Especially if you've got it on
like multiple click mode. Yeah, I'm.
Just holding the button down. And it's just going, I feel like
there's a millennial. As a millennial, I should Have
you ever seen a? Boomer, take a photo.
Sorry, but every photo she takes is blurry.
You guys are. Yeah.
I mean you'll. With with you know intent you
will be able to take clear photos of these no problem.
The last one you kind of took on the fly before touching and
didn't get a second chance to look, but you will be able to
look at them, zoom in, make sure they are clear and take it again
if you need to. Yeah, that's what I'll do.
I'll just take as many. Photos I can without deleting
any just to make sure I have as much information as I can is I'm
going to continue to look around.
The I actually. AM.
Totally lost. Now what was my goal?
I came in. I wasn't just supposed to let go
of. Them in here to.
To get an item so that you guys could teleport to the D&D world
eventually if you no longer have access to this.
Oh, OK. I look for an equipment check
for the monster. Equipment check the monster
that's supposed to be in the caves.
That's totally empty. Fine, fine.
And if. Yeah, we need.
To tell Franklin if. We have space for but like the
prisoner, mad or not. Look very, very.
Concerned. So are you.
Moving deeper in or what are the so this this room has the the
altar the it's kind of like the war room set up.
The map has the airport kind of circled, as well as a list of of
major city destinations that the Columbus airport sends planes
out to. Yeah.
So I take pictures of all that information and then I turn
around and I'm just going to start going through this room
and if it's not in this room, go to another room and look for a
box of just stuff equipment, hopefully.
Cool. As you leave this kind of war
room area, you kind of climb down these the stairway and
enter this main section of the of the room and then what is
your passive perception? And then give me also just a
regular perception, passive perception.
Is. Whoops.
Passive perception. Is 13.
Should I give you a regular one? I love it.
OK, so looking. In front of you you would see
that this room here as you know in the game is kind of the, IT
is sort of an equipment room Slash it was turned into a a a
lab. But you would find, I would say
in this box here you would know that you have a various standard
gear that you could find. I can roll for.
Stuff that you find if you like with your passive perception or
pass yeah, with your passive perception.
It's about here, and you're rifling through this that you
hear a loud buzzing sound coming from above.
You let me find the stuff as I. Hear the buzzing sound, I just
lay flat on the ground. Laying flat on the.
Ground, you kind of like turn your head and look up and you
see that all three rooms of this pocket rocket, the ceiling, the
second floor is basically completely gone as it has been
encompassed by a large hive that expands from one end to the
other and as far as you can tell is several dozen feet deep.
You see quite a lot of movement coming from up there.
Hive of what I. Hear crickets.
If I went through it. I might be able to.
Tell, but give me a moment. Give myself a drink because it's
stressful. Yeah, sorry I walked away from
my computer at the very wrong time.
Your time. Wait, wait, Have of what?
So are these the? Bugs that we found on the portal
are these. She.
Would I mean looking? Up.
You could probably tell that they seem to be some sort of
mutated form of Dark ricket hundreds, so I have animal
handling. In nature, would I be able to
like make one of those as a check?
Sure. I mean so animal handling if you
want to like interact with them nature.
If you want to determine what they are nature because.
I wanted to determine what they are.
Oh yeah, awesome. Nine.
I have a + 6 to that, by the way.
So I rolled a three. What?
I'm so sorry. That's terrible.
Rolling with another set of dice, It seems like that's
right. With a nine.
You can't tell exactly what they are, but from context you
probably consider that these. Are probably.
The dire cricket hive that has taken root even in the game, in
the pocket rocket. So as I'm laying on the ground.
I'm like, thinking of this cool, cool, love that I'm going to
slowly continue to go. Scramble through the chest
while. Remaining as low as possible.
OK, so. I'm looking.
For something small enough. To fit in a backpack.
OK, what you would find? Is a.
Jar of ointment and a Let's see a wand that you find in there.
Do I find a wand? And a jar of ointment.
Yeah, I'm kind of. Running I'm I'm rolling
basically on lists actually. So what you'll find in the
equipment chest is a set of basically plus one, Not a set,
several sets of plus one armor, just to make it simple.
So a set of plus one. Armor.
You would probably actually. Find like.
I'm going to say. Six.
You find six sets of plus one armor.
Convenient. How convenient.
I do my best to. Grab all these and shove as many
of them as I can into my backpack.
You could probably fit one. In your backpack.
Because it's on, can I put one in my?
Backpack. Is there a sack anywhere
invasive? Thoughts you.
Can wear one. Just slowly for 10.
Minutes. Quietly Dawn.
Armor laying flat on the ground trying to avoid a detection.
That is something I will not do. I'm just going to carry it.
I am not about to trip and dress.
Near a giant, have a look at. That may or may not be Manning.
To see if they notice. So as you start pulling, these
chest lays like these sets of armor out of this chest.
One of them what appears to be plate or medium armor of some
sort. Because I'm not going to say
exactly what kind it is because you can choose whatever armor
you want. I don't care.
Should I do a sneak? Does that help?
Yeah, go ahead. And do a contested.
Sneak for me. Yeah, so you pull.
One out and you're like, oh, this is neat.
And then one of the others, like falls and slant like clatters
onto the ground and you know, falls apart and like makes a
huge noise and you hear as the entire swarm erupts.
I need you to roll initiative. Awesome.
Oh. God. 15.
OK. 13 plus let me pull up their swarm stats.
PC. Pictures One shot.
Zombie. Where did it go?
Sorry all my stat blocks. Are on different sheets.
There it is. OK, so it.
Has a + 4, so 456717 all right. So on its turn it swarms towards
you, leaving leaving the giant hive above it as it streams down
directly at you and will attempt to bite you with a + 6 to hit 19
+ 6 going to be piercing damage. Yeah, that definitely you will
take. We're going to take 1D or 2D6
piercing damage. Seven points of piercing damage.
And. Make me ADC 14 Con Savings Row.
I would like to say it again. I'm an.
Immune to disease and being poisoned?
That's fine. Would you say?
Con savings? They're poisoned.
Yep, I'm really good at. This guys, I swear.
So with. With a six.
You. Feel the swarm surrounding you
almost like a cloud as you begin to feel tiny bites all over and
then sharper bites as the swarm begins to infest your body and
crawl into into your skin. Very much like the mummy seen
with the with the scarab beetles as they are now.
Part way. Into your body.
Can I roll to panic? You can, yeah.
Make a Let's see. I guess that would be a
Constitution save. Do you want to roll it at
disadvantage? That's up to you however you're
feeling. You begin to panic.
I'm not that bothered. By bugs, but bugs being under my
skin would definitely, definitely bother me, yeah.
So. You begin panicking.
Why don't you go ahead and mark down one point of sanity
somewhere on your character sheet?
As you have just acquired a new trait.
PTSD. So where do I add custom?
Notes for oh shit, this happened.
Extras features Oh right here, other add.
Let's let's add to this PTSD. Bugs under skin no likey.
Oh yeah, Mommy did this. PTSD.
Mom, Mom, I did PTSD. Yeah, it's funny.
It's always. Bugs under everyone's skin let
them free claw them out right? Oh, it added.
To. Allies.
Instead of to. Other, but whatever it's there.
That will be its turn. Your turn.
You were covered in them. I think with your one.
You. Yeah, you got your sanity point.
You can feel them gnawing on your skin and all you hear is
just the rush of wings. So in my panic.
I will get up, whatever is it, whatever was last in my hand.
So I have the one set of armor in my backpack.
Whatever was last in my hand, I'd probably be gripping and
just flailing as like a really crappy melee defense weapon, and
I would try to will myself out of the pocket.
Rocket. In a pair?
Sure. Go ahead and roll me in attack.
OK, hold on an attack. Just a melee attack.
And then one more. Con Would this be considered an
unarmed? Strike.
No, this is improvised weapons. So you rolled 6 + 410.
And. You will be unable to strike
this swarm as as much as you swing.
It seems like the swarm, all the individual critters.
It looks dense, like wherever you swing you could hit, but as
you swing they just kind of flow and move around the object
itself. You will be able to will
yourself out. As with your own mental
fortitude, you think to yourself, get the fuck out of
here and then you turn into a purple smoke again and the rest
of you guys see Jess collapse onto the ground, writhing in
pain as it is. Now the creatures turn and they
are inside you. So they came with some of them
not at least. Yeah, I would say I'm just like.
Rolling, flailing, kicking, whatever's in.
My hand still in my hand, I'm just.
I'm going to scream. Health potion.
Health potion because. That's how Mommy got rid of.
Them. That was an 11.
Plus 415 What's your AC, Jess 11?
So. It will hit and then make me a
con save. Oh, we'll do. 10 points.
Piercing. Damage.
And with that? Fail the bugs that remained on
you and that were crawling directly kind of under your the
layer of your skin you can see. Now dive down into the muscle
muscle tissues itself as your whole body seizes as you are now
infected as. I am now.
Dead. No.
Because I had 9. Hit hit points left and with a
10. I stopped laying.
And just lay there on the ground.
You do lay there. Almost completely still, except
the bugs that are crawling through your body are causing
your muscles to twitch. The rest of you now see what's
going on and have a chance to react.
She's not looking good. I would.
I would definitely have leaned
into that thought and immediately pulled out one of my
extra health health potions and poured it down her throat as
she's seizing on the ground. I won't make.
Them a check. Yeah, I would.
Kneel down and try to. Grab her head.
Her head still so Josh can get the perfect.
Why don't you guys give me a sleight of hand check Josh then
with advantage since she's helping you kind of keep her
still, not medicine. This is just to get.
The potion down her, OK? 15 Nice so you will be able to.
Kind of pour the shot down into her, down her mouth, and kind of
get her to swallow. I'm going to roll.
What is your spell save DC, Josh?
13. 13. So they are going to rule.
Let's see what would be a good one.
A con save against that they have a + 1 so they will fail as.
She lays there, unconscious. You guys are all holding your
breath as Josh, with the help of Olivia, pour the health potion
down Jesse's throat. Her mouth, sorry and kind of you
all could lean back after a second as her body kind of, like
stops and then suddenly begins writhing even more, as suddenly
coming from basically every orifice.
A swarm of of these bugs comes alright, like streaming out the
rest of you. Let's see.
I will have I guess everyone else role initiative now as now
or I guess what? What do the others want to do as
you are seeing this happen? So Josh and Olivia, you helped
her with the health potion. And then what about the other is
Justin Barrett? I'm.
Going to like I. Mean.
I guess try to Rihanna. Are they flying?
Around. Like, is it like the bugs?
Yeah, they. Think of it like they.
Kind of like started streaming out and they form like a big
swarm around her. Some of them are like covering
her, like they're walking all over, and then there's also a
big cloud of them right in front of her, but they're occupying.
I think the the question Justin. Would.
They're within range if that's the question interjection.
But I I think be more poignantly said as what shape are the bugs
taking? And I I think it would be like a
grub of sorts, right? Yeah, they would be kind of like
a larval type of grub with some of them might have developed
into like adolescence and have like some sort of wings, but
these are tiny creatures, not like the, you know, horse sized
dire crickets that you guys have seen elsewhere.
I don't even know if I'm. Useful for this bottom.
I mean, I'm definitely not. Useful, but I'm just firing off
Magic Missiles. Like bug starts.
Warming everywhere. I just start trying to fucking
smash them and get rid of them as quickly as possible.
Try. Wow.
That's. A horrible role.
That's. So rude I.
Literally have a + 7 two initiative and yet give me a
fucking work with. Oh, nice one.
Brie, 22. Wow.
I got a + 9 to. Initiative.
Our Rule 13. So yeah, I don't.
Fuck with bugs. So let's see, we will have who
is doing the magic missiles because there were the the
people who have not acted yet get to go before like initiative
round starts because it might be you just kill this thing.
So go ahead and. Roll your magic missile damage
because you're. Going to hit these because.
I'm pretty sure you just hit. Yeah, yeah.
Magic missiles. Hit.
I just. I'm going to.
Start at I'm going to start at 4th level.
Oh Gee. OK.
I am. I think I remember it.
Like, didn't roll. Curb didn't roll.
Yeah, that's I guess that's one. So.
I get. I think it rolls.
It to be like, oh, all of them do this amount of damage, so
that multiplied. Four.
Oh well, I. Can roll per dart, or I can roll
that and just multiply it by however many darts I do.
I would do per dart. I like.
I like to. Roll per dart.
Yeah. So it's three and then.
You could probably just go over to the side and.
Do a custom one above first. So you do a bunch of like, so I
do six, six starts total. So that's the first one.
Hell yeah. Second. 1/3. 1/4 one fifth one,
sixth one. I think that's six.
That's 612. 3/4. Yeah, that's six, so. 7/16/12
1619. 2222 damage to. Just.
Any, any and all bugs, Yeah. So.
Your reaction immediately is just release a stream of magic
missiles. Have you previously said how
these what these look like or do you want to take a stabber?
I did. I don't remember.
I just imagine I'm like, flailing.
You look like fucking pretty much you.
You you pretty much. I'm just like there is there is
no, like very nice way that I do this.
It's just I'm chaotically like, freaking out and like, flailing
as you. Freak out and flail.
It's like it's like. Purple Energy.
Oh yeah, that's. Right, Yeah.
So these purplish darts, darts of energy, flail out from you
before correcting themselves like homing devices and then
flying straight at the swarm. Six of them impact and the swarm
appears about half the size. Afterwards, as many many
hundreds of them just start dropping to the ground and
starts like swerming and they like fry and like sizzle and and
and and die as as half the swarm kind of like falls down.
And then Olivia said she had fire bolt and magic missile as
well. I don't.
Know which one she wants. To go with, she said.
Magic Missile first. Probably magic.
Missile 'cause they? Actually, 'cause it definitely
hits OK. And.
She off then? For the night?
Yep. Yep.
Let's see, can I get into? Her character from the campaign
should be able to. Parrot Jessie.
Olivia. There we go.
All right, she has spells. What level are you guys
thinking? She also has up to 4th and.
She's only used one first. Level so far.
And she only has 1/4. She has two.
Fourths. Probably the use. 1.
OK. So we'll roll.
And that was six of them, right? At this level, because it's the
same thing 123456, those there go through, OK, three 12. 19 All
right, and with Olivia. 'S magic missile popping off
basically a meet at the same time as Breeze.
Probably a little. Bit more steady, they hit the
creature too, and by the time it's by the time they all land,
only a few of these bugs actually remain.
Still flying around but very feebly now as you can now count
their number on like your hand so.
That will. Be the end of that turn.
So then it pops up to the top, which Brianna had a 22.
So I get to go again. You do?
Yep. It's now the start of the start
of the turn, OK? So.
Bugs are still there, yes, but barely.
Barely, Jeff. Is still unconscious.
On the ground, the healing potion seems to have gotten the
bugs out, but doesn't seem to have.
What do you call it? Steady to her.
All right, so barely. As in like 3 Magic Missiles
would. Like you can count them on.
One hand type of number of HE all.
Right, so I'll just do a regular.
I'll do a regular magic missile. First levels would be 3, so 12
and hopefully it kills the rest of them.
Yes, with 12 points of. Damage.
You are able to very quickly wipe out the rest of these bugs.
Combat has ended. Jess is unconscious and still
rolling saves, but I assume you guys are going to do something
all. Right, so she's.
Unconscious and the bugs are gone.
Oh, I guess feeding a potion is an action all of her skin.
Is just a mess, but combat will end so.
Everybody like initiative kind of drops.
Yeah, I don't really have any bonus.
Actions. Oh, that's not a bonus.
Oh, they're the dying. Kind of.
Well, I guess. I guess if that's all I can do,
then I just I just kind of. Him on alert, I guess.
Kind of looking around keeping. An eye out for any stray.
Bugs And then. Just kind of like motion.
For somebody to help her, 'cause I I I can't do anything right
now. You'd say that that ended.
Combat, right? Yeah, nobody is in danger
anymore. I would definitely slap the side
of Jess's face and say come on wiki wiki and spare the dying
and then pull the other other potion of healing that I have
the additional one that I'd had made from.
So I would be down to two like everyone else and pour it down
her throat. You will go ahead and roll that
healing potion for. Her.
It would be 8. Jess.
You come up with eight points. Of healing you're Oh, yeah.
Clothing is shredded. You kind of blood kind of all
over. And.
And PTSD like we talked about. Yeah.
I would probably say like I.
Come up awake and just continue to flail because I'm like.
It's OK. It's OK.
We. We we killed them.
They killed the bugs, you know. You know what's funny is?
I actually have like a really bad innate reaction.
If I feel anything fuzzy on my skin, I the first thing I do is
slap it. Because when I lived out with
my. Mother and she had.
Lived in a converted sawmill that was really bad with
spiders. I would wake up in the middle of
night with spiders on me and I would slap them away before
anything. Else.
So, like, I already kind of have a bad thing with fish.
Yeah, that. Worse now, Worse.
So yeah, I just kind of come up like.
Freaking out like. Like, not really registering.
That I'm OK and the bugs are dead.
I am still like bugs. Bugs under my skin and I'm
flailing. And you've still.
Got the. Plus one armor that you got, and
that's kind of flailing around too.
Yeah, just in my hand. Well, at least you got.
Something out of it. It looks like we could not have
to go back in there. But.
You're gonna have to put that ring back on Todd's finger and I
just. Take the rock, the, the pocket
rocket and. Go, everyone.
Might want. To leave the room a little.
Second here. I just kind.
Of stand up. And look around and I'm kind of
like huffing and puffing and I throw the armor down out of my
hand and I'm like, else can go in the secret magical hideout of
bullshit. Can I leave?
Sounds like it went well. I'm gonna use my skill.
What is it? Healing healer on myself.
Oh, but I can't get my page to scroll.
You're just getting in trouble, you.
Like you blew yourself up you. Door.
I get. Into so much trouble like this.
As it is, but usually it's much minor things like a paper cut.
I've accidentally sliced my hand open because I just have really
bad spatial awareness and they'll pay attention to things
around. Me, I'm like this is fine.
And then I have a devastating injury.
Well, that's certainly not going to be.
Exacerbated by being AD and D character I'm sure, right?
So while everyone. Leaves the room.
I just keep beating Todd with The Rock until he eventually
goes into. Oh, geez.
I don't feel OK with. This at.
All as well. As that I.
Ask someone to before they leave whoever it is, to try and make
him look like Matt. With his ass up in the air.
Apparently is what we're doing. How long does disguised ELF
last? I believe an hour, OK?
Just be aware how far where. You are currently in the world
and how long it will take to get you where you're going.
So maybe we don't disguise him yet.
We have to go back into there to fucking disguise him before he
fucking fight it, I mean. You also have to go back.
In there if you're. Gonna dress him up.
That's what I'm saying. The.
The Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
But he's in there. Let's just tie.
Him up for? Now, you know, leave him there.
Come back later, yeah. No, you guys.
Successfully kidnapped someone. Congratulations.
Oh. It's a good job team.
They're. They're racist.
It was justified. Before we.
Do anything? Else, she said she.
Had you had a bunch of armor that you couldn't carry, you
threw on the ground? I threw down.
There's one set of armor, and there's a set of armor in my
backpack and the rest. I left in there.
Because I got swarmed by bugs. Look at that game.
I don't need any. I'm good.
I say this while I'm crouched. On the ground, like, just like
rubbing, like ointment on all of my open wounds, I'd like to.
Take a look at some of these armor, see if any of them are
light and I can utilize them as you.
Look at them. They kind of have.
They're vaguely armor shaped, but as you kind of approach,
pick one up and like investigate it further.
You see it is indeed light armor of whatever kind you want.
I don't care, OK? I will.
Go ahead and snag that light armor.
It'll do. Padded light armor, I guess.
I don't know if there's any difference besides flare.
I don't want to start putting that on.
It's a plus one set. And then there's the one other,
and then the others that are in the pocket Rocket, so are we.
The the Real. Question is, are we headed
towards the the airport? Are we are are we going with
Matt? So show of hands.
Who? Wants to fuck off out of this
universe and let let it. And let this let this particular
planet fend for itself. And who?
Wants to trying at least try to save it.
I raised my hand to at least try.
To save it, I'm in the. Butt of trying.
To save it. But if you know shit's not
working, you know fuck off. CTFO yeah.
Give it a shot, but you know if it's.
Not working. I'm out.
Where's Where's Barrett? Standing on Justin, I mean.
I mean. I mean be truthful.
To yourself, Barrett, be truthful To yourself, you are
yourself, you are. You.
Please be truthful to yourself. I would feel bad about.
Abandoning this world, I mean. If that's what you.
I. Know I know, mom, I voted.
To. Just get the fuck out.
Yep, I've seen. That.
Nah, I feel. I personally feel like if we
don't take care of Franklin and the Goons, then we're always
gonna be looking over our shoulder.
We're always gonna be fucking worried about shit.
We gotta deal with it. You're I, I feel.
You there and I raise my hand. At that point.
We should at least go check it out.
If nothing else, you know, yeah, maybe I.
Would see the plan. If we fail.
But we have to at least guilty about the idea of like, just
leaving, knowing that I didn't even try, you know, right?
So. Matt, what's your plan with the
thing in the stuff to get into the Astral C?
If we're going to get out of here, do we need to be near you
or do we need to like just drop some of our blood into a Petri
dish so that you know, if this fails, we can just ahead GTFO or
or what is it? So the way that I currently
understand how this works is and I pull out my scrap of the
fabric of reality. I've been working this and I've
kind of turned it into kind of like this this cloak type
figure. All right, This like a a magical
cloak. And when attuned and with a item
that you want, you can completely kind of like seal
yourself into it. And then when you open up, you
emerge out the other side. Originally I thought we would
all have to have like get into under this like together.
But and look at Jess. I'm pretty sure you got your own
piece. I reach back.
I like Take. My bag off and reach back into
it and I pull it out and I'm like, yeah, it seems like this.
Stuff just. Keeps going like clown hang.
So do you think if we divide this?
Further, give everyone one and then everybody has a piece of
the D&D. World.
We can choose to whenever you want.
Yeah, I think that probably sounds.
Like a good idea. And I pull out some of the
fabric and then I pull out a pair of crafts as there's and I
start cutting it. I'm gonna say I cut it into
pretty large. Just square shapes as as large.
Enough to be a. Throw blanket.
As you continue. To cut it, it seems immediately
regenerate on the spots that you cut, so it more or less
infinite. Yeah, as I like pull the first
square. Away, I see that there's no,
like, cut marks or anything. I'm like, that's cool.
I cut another square, pull that one away, cut another square.
They're probably not gonna be perfectly square.
They're probably gonna be pretty wonky.
Yeah. I think you should just.
Yeah, I mean whatever will work. I mean it's it's a fabric, it's
so you just I feel like you could just kind of take a piece
and kind of like pull on it to try to stretch the material out.
It's infinite, so this. Piece should be technically big
enough to be a regular sized piece you just got to yank.
On it a bit. Maybe.
I don't know. And now?
I have. Reality yeet cloth in my
inventory. I luck over at Jess.
I can't believe that you convinced the creator of reality
to give you this. I shake my head.
You just have to be polite. That That's literally all it
takes. That's true.
Just be polite. And nice.
Yeah, and that's. All I did I just.
Asked nicely. Wow.
And then I'm sweet. And I kind of just blinked my
eyes. Real.
Fast with a big innocent burn on my face.
Roll a. Charisma check.
13 Still pretty cute. I say.
Pinch your. Cheek.
All right, so it sounds like from the votes guys, we're
choosing to not ditch this world immediately unless we have to.
Pretty much. Right Here I take a a piece like
a pen from my pocket and I give it to you.
Josh, take this with you because I'm going to, like I said, I'm
going to go try to get us some of those reality mushrooms that
we can do this right. Well, you guys go deal with
Franklin so he didn't just blow it immediately.
And when I'm done, I'm going to try to teleport to you guys in
case you need help. And then we.
Can we can go? I guess we.
Could just go too. But where?
Where do you? Where do you go if if?
We get separated, and I look at it where you guys want to meet
in the D&D world. Socrates.
Socrates, Yeah, Socrates seems like a pretty cool place.
Seems like everybody seems like the better.
Place. Got it.
Where's where? Where's that?
I don't know where that is. Shoot.
Yeah, we just imagine. Ourselves.
There and won't it work? It's in Gargantium.
Where or gargant as as you know it too, I think I.
Know where Gargant is, but it's it's a hop walk.
Around and ask. It's a hop, skip and a.
Jump away from titty sprinkles. Oh yeah, I know where Teddy.
Sprinkles is I'm I'm sitting over here like.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I'm. I'm just not going to lose
anybody. OK, cool, cool.
Maybe. You can.
You. Can you can you can?
Travel with me? Yeah, I was going to say.
Maybe you should hold on to. Bree's hand Yeah, you can.
Everybody have an Interstellar. Travel.
Partner, I grabbed my hands. Can.
You still cast. Magic missile with one hand,
yeah. OK, cool.
You just have. To hold my left.
Hand. All right, I.
Can do that. Sweet.
I slap my knees. And stand.
Up in the in the typical Midwestern way.
Well, guys, I think we know what we're going to do, right?
We're going to go, you're going to try to stop Franklin, and
then we're all going to go live our best lives as DD characters.
Ontarith. Ontarith Yeah.
All right, all. Right, let's bring it in and do
one of those cool like Team High 5E.
Like on threes. Wait, what do we say on three
though? On three we say fuck Turtle
World, Turtle. Turtle suits.
On. Three.
Or after three? Oh.
After three, After three. I don't like making decisions,
turtle. Soup on three.
Turtle soup on three. Ready one. 2. 3 Turtle soup
bring. Up bring up that was technically
after three, but you know, whatever is that.
Turtle soup. It's no longer super.
Invasion It's turtle soup now. Yeah, no copyright.
Issue Perfect guys this is. Exciting.
I will say if you can figure out some I I know the idea is we
locked Franklin away, but if we can keep that pocket rocket,
then we've got a super cool magical item we just have to
clean. It probably.
But I'm going to leave it to you guys because obviously I'm not
going to be there. I'm going to look at the camera
because it's two meta. And then yeah, so we got our
marching plans and I think we know what we're going to do.
Yeah, perfect. We got this guy.
Perfect set up. Perfect.
Next. Time.
Yes, Next time on turtle. Soup.
All right. Is, is is Todd.
Tied up like secure so we can leave him here and come back
later. Tied up and in the pocket
rocket, as far as I understand. Did you cast the?
Dying on? Him, I hope.
Successfully kidnapping. A Roses prison guard I you beat
him into. Unconsciousness right Or were
you doing non lethal? I I was trying to get him at
least down to 1 which I think is what I was trying to remember
what exactly what I had said. I and I, yeah, I think you said
low. HP or Unconsciousness?
Which is which? Which?
Is he was already unconscious technically as asleep, so maybe
I just hit him with it once. Yeah, true I guess.
Roll it once if you want. No, that's fine.
I mean he was unconscious. He would have been able to hit
him more of like damage. I don't know what he's at health
wise because he was in another with the Zomba zombies I'm sure.
I'm just going to pretend that Todd was one of the guards
shooting the prisoners so we don't worry about it.
I don't think we got to think about it.
Anymore though, I. Guess the biggest question is
going to be, is he still going to be there when you go back
because you dropped him in and there's that big ass hive?
Yeah, but like. He's at the entrance.
Not not not in the yeah. Not down in the hallway.
Where I wandered off too. Yeah.
That's true. Yeah, that's a point.
In his favor. And and he's.
Pretty. Unconscious.
I mean, you can't sleep. How long does that last?
I'm pretty. Sure, like 10 minutes.
But let me look. I could be wrong and it might be
8 hours. I think it's actually 8 hours
'cause I remember when I first made my wizard character, I made
sure to take it so I could cast it on myself.
Every night, so that I could. Get a decent night's sleep for
once, I mean. That's that's a good.
Thought I like that a lot. Oh, it only.
Lasts one. Minute.
Oh Jesus damn it. Whatever, I mean you.
Guys got him in there. He's safely unconscious right in
the entry so. Anyway.
I think we'll call it there then, guys.
Thanks for joining. And.
Congratulations on deciding to be heroes instead of villains,
we. We're not done yet.
I was going to say. That.
That, yeah, we might still run. Continues in the in.
The. In the exciting conclusion,
that's Terra absolutely true, I think this was.
A good stopping point. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
All right. I will see you guys next week
for the exciting finale, All right?
Good. Night.
