Hello everyone, unfortunately we have not been able to complete
the edit for episode 101 due to the intense winter storms
impacting many parts of the United States, including where
editor Kira resides. Until that is complete, please
enjoy a previously patron exclusive festive one shot, How
the Quacko Paco Saved Christmas featuring Grace as DM.
For all of the patrons who've already heard this, we intend to
release 101 early on Patreon as soon as it is finished, and
ideally we will be shifting our release schedule early a week so
that One O 1 will release for everyone on January 28th and
then we will go every other week from there.
Thank you as always for your support and your patience, and
please enjoy How the Quacko Paco Saved Christmas.
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the Berry
house, not a creature was stirring, not even a tandem
mouse. The stockings were hung by the
chimney with care in hopes that a deli bird would soon be there.
The Pokémon were nestled all snug in their beds while visions
of Milseries danced in their heads when out on the lawn there
sounded something so loud I sprang from my bed expecting to
see explode away to the window. I flew like a Blitzel, tore open
the shutters and peered out a little when what to my wondering
eyes did appear but a miniature sleigh and ate time You were,
dear. With a little old.
Driver so lively and furred, I knew in a moment he must be
Jelly Bird. More rapid than a bravery in his
courses. They came, and he whistled and
shouted and called them by name. As leaves that before the wild
tornadoes fly, When they meet with an obstacle mount to the
sky, So up on the housetop the courses they flew with a sleigh
full of toys, and Dulli bird too.
And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof the prancing like
mud Bray of each little hoof I drew in my head, And was turning
around down the chimney a Dulli bird came with a bound, a bundle
of toys he had flung on his back, and it looked like a
victory bell opening his back, his eyes how they twinkled, his
dimples how merry his cheeks were like buddies, His beak like
a carrot, his naughty or niceless judging children's
merit. And from deep in his belly a
chuckle he sent. It shook when he laughed, like a
floating jealous scent. He spoke not a word, but went
straight to his work and filled all the stockings like a keen go
lark. And laying his wing aside of his
beak up the chimney he rose, flying like a trumbeak.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team he was the boss, and away
they all flew like a floating eldegos.
But I heard him exclaim ere he dove out of sight.
Dullie bird. Dullie bird.
Dullie Bird. As Cindy closes her book, the
scene around her is much like was described in the story she
told. Powder white snow falls on the
Berry farm, blanketing the ground in a serene quiet.
Inside the cozy Berry master's house, solely the 9 tails
Quacko, the far fetched Trevor the Giggleth, Cabbage the Yell
creamy and omelette the togopee listen with bated breath
twinkling in the corner. A Christmas tree decorated with
bright ornament stands tall surrounded by a massive pile of
colorfully wrapped presents. Its pine scent is accompanied by
the delicious aroma of cookies baked by Elody and cabbage which
sit on the table beside a glass of Mumu milk procured by
Schmidt. The logs Gimli spent the
afternoon chopping crackle in the fireplace, giving the
stockings hung above it a warm glow.
With a yawn, Cindy makes her way to bed.
Elody, Schmidt and Gimli follow suit.
After all, the Cracko Packo needs the rest after a tiring
long day full of adventures, which surely it has been.
So you all make your way to bed each little team.
I'm sure we've all described before how each of you the
trainers asleep with all of their Pokémon, but as there are
presence downstairs around a tree, I'm going to need omelet
photocopy to make a Wisdom saving throw because he is so
excited about his very first Christmas and he wants to run
downstairs and check his presents.
That's so cute. So good.
Oh OK, 19 on the die and then +4 so 23.
OK, so Omelet is strong willed. He decides that no, he's
stronger than this. He's going to remain huddled up
next to Quack with a far fetched and Schmidt his trainer.
Instead we will have Quacko to make a perception check for me.
Oh oh, little known fact, Quacko is proficient in perception.
We'll see about that proficiency.
That is A7 on the die, so with five that's a 12.
I'll say that that's enough. I think he's got omelet next to
him and omelet is just like he's, he's strong willed.
He's staying strong in not going down to check the presence, but
he is kind of vibrating with an energy and it's kind of keeping
Quacko awake a little bit and he starts to hear very slightly
something going on downstairs. Uh.
Oh. Uh oh, who's gonna ruin our
Christmas? No one's ruining Dark Christmas
on my watch. And then I'll grab my leaked
sword and then I'll head downstairs to check it out.
Perfect omelette are you going with?
Omelette goes wherever Quacko goes.
Perfect. OK, so the two of you, Quacko
and Omelette, make your way downstairs and notice that the
presents that Omelette was so excited about are all gone
things. The Christmas decorations, No.
Everything's finished. Omelette starts crying
immediately. Nope, Nope, Nope.
Stop that. Stop that.
We'll get this figured out.
Stop. Inconsolable and I get, we'll
say, another Wisdom saving throw from solely the night tails who
smelled the delicious cookies from cabbage earlier and maybe
wants to go eat 1. Wisdom solely has a little bit
of wisdom. Seven.
OK, perfect. So solely she's got a keen smell
and she remembered. I'm actually going to ask
Richie, what flavor were the cookies you were baking earlier?
Oh, I get to answer this. I mean, if it's Christmas, I
hate to be boring. Two different kinds?
OK, Is that acceptable? Yes, that's acceptable.
OK, Chocolate chip is one and then snickerdoodle is the other.
Fuck yeah. And those snicker noodles are
all cinnamoned up. It's pretty potent.
Yes. Where's the gingerbread?
You know all the gingerbread was spent into a a house that some
Pokémon made. Exactly.
Nobody wants to eat gingerbread. Gingerbread's for for building
houses. Exactly.
Totally remembers earlier the delicious chocolatey and
cinnamony smell of those cookies.
And she wants to eat those cookies, so she starts to make
her way downstairs as well. All right, Also she'll.
Do that very much like following her nose.
Like, have you seen like cartoons where like, they're
like floating following hell, that is like that is what
Sully's doing. I love it so.
She follows her nose, but unfortunately the trail stops as
she comes upon the scene of Quacko.
Comforting Omelet as all of the presents and decorations and the
cookies themselves have disappeared.
Well, there's there's a little bit of crumbs left, but for the
most part the cookies are gone and so they cannot eat them.
Not the cookies. At this I will ask Cabbage to
make a perception chef. Hell yeah and I will.
I will say that the others have started to make a bit of a a
noise, so I will give advantage on this.
Oh. OK.
With advantage, we're looking at a 16.
Perfect. So you start to hear and you are
awakened by the the sound of solely crying, not the cookies
you were. It's like a sleeper agent sound
hearing cookies. You awaken and may begin to make
your way downstairs if you wish as well.
Sure, yeah, Cabbage will try and stealthily descend down the
stairs. OK, you have all gathered at the
scene of the crime. Everything that you were so
excited about to celebrate Christmas and the holidays with
your trainers has been taken. Anybody is welcome to make a
perception, or if there's anything specific you want to
look at, let me know. Cabbage will join the entourage
and say son of a bitch and a preception check.
I'm sorry. For the.
Cabbage so much she takes off her sunglasses so she's.
Like I'm like in the. In the cop shows.
It's fucking CSI Miami so. Literally.
Fucking The Who starts flying in the background.
Her car is like doing Donuts and then she like skirts to a stop.
Cabbage got a 15. OK.
So you notice along with everything going on, the
chimney, which had previously been lit no longer isn't lit
because you guys practice good fire safety.
That was probably Gimli. And there are some sooty, ashy
footprints leading from the fireplace that kind of move
around the room and then make their way out the door.
Savage will say, Well, would you look at that?
And then she gestures to the other Pokémon and asks.
Seems like we got a trail on our hands.
I'm sorry I can't get over. This.
No, it just talks. OK, guys, that's what she sounds
like, right? It's Cannon, yeah.
Is there? It's just a trail of crumbs
leading out the door. And footprints, I think.
Yes, and footprints. Yes, and there's also a trail of
crumbs from the cookies as well. I will just immediately follow.
No, No second guess, no perception check just what is at
the end of this trail. Absolutely omelette playing.
Open the door, but she's going to he's going to very.
Fake. It's like a, I imagine the scene
in my head, it's like Quackos like tried to fly away to like
investigate, but then Omelet kind of grabbed Quacko's wings.
So now Quacko's just carrying Omelet.
Exactly. The fatherly instinct.
Perfect. Yeah, with with omelet in one
wing, I guess. Quacko throws open the door to
reveal the scene outside, which is the Berry farm, beautifully
covered in snow. It's a beautiful night, the
night before Christmas, and he sees once again that the lights
hung on the Berry farmhouse have all been taken down.
They are nowhere to be seen. The what?
Any of Omelet starts crying again.
No, no, no, no. Stop.
We we'll get this figured out. And I will give this without
another perception check because it's pretty obvious, but there
are two tracks in the snow leading 2, two sets of tracks
rather leading off to the West in the direction of Mobville.
City dragging dragging omelet behind me.
I duck waddled my way over there.
Omelets like rolling in the snow.
Did you want to investigate those tracks?
Yeah. So you can go ahead and roll an
investigation. Cabbage is quite miffed, she'll
say. I can't believe someone would do
such a thing on Christmas night of all nights.
Come to me on the day of the night before Christmas.
This sucker's going to get what's coming to him.
Actually, that's the out of context spoiler.
Yeah, that's. Awesome.
OK. What is investigation based off
of? Quacko is not that smart guys.
That is a nine. I rolled A10 but Quacko is -1.
Gotcha. So, you know, a little bit of
snow has fallen. You know it, there's a, there's
some flurries happening currently.
So this, the tracks are, are getting a little covered up,
right? But you were able to tell that
of these two sets, one of them is by a bipedal creature and one
of them is by a quadrupedal creature.
Other than that, you really can't tell too much about who
left these tracks. Can solely use her snoot to
sniff and smell and see if she can glean any more information
from sniffy sniffing. Yes, absolutely.
We'll say that that's a perception.
So that's wisdom based. Oh, I have a + 9 to perception
14 + 9. Wonderful.
Is a number. 20 Wonderful. Yes, it's, it's high enough.
It's it's a good number. You can smell that something
rotten was here recently. It is a, it is a rotteny smell.
It's kind of a mix. Of smell like cookies.
Yeah, it's a little sulfury. It's kind of a little bit of
like a garlic scent to it, which is weird, but it's not good.
And it is in fact, you can smell kind of in the distance like,
you know, like the the trail that she was kind of smelling
earlier to get those cookies. It's kind of like that again,
but it's bad this time and it's leading off towards Marvel.
It would take a rotten Mon to pull off a crime like this one.
They're headed towards Marvel. I love how this has turned into
it. Take it with the fucking one
liners. Omelet through his tears, it's
like. We have to go.
After them, they stole all of our stuff.
What kind of Mon would deprive a baby toga pee their presents on
Christmas? I will burn them.
Yeah, true. Jesus Christ.
OK. I mean, I love the energy, so if
you all would like, you can start to follow the trail.
Yes. Is it like dark dark because of
no Christmas lights? Yeah, it's pretty dark on the
farm then. Yeah, darker than you would
expect to be. There's a little bit little bit
of light from the moon, but unless you might not be able to
see well. So he's going to use some fire
to like make light for path. Cool, so the wish, because he
really wishes his presents were back.
I love that. But she's just wishing for his
presence. Yeah, OK.
Wishing really hard. What is the what do you roll?
Because it's just straight up healing.
Oh, what should we roll for this?
We're healing our mental health. Because I want to see what
happens if you do this. Roll AD 1000.
Hell yeah. See.
Let's see what happens. I got a 40 knot in.
OK, I don't know what I was thinking because I was like, oh,
I'll have you roll and then I will use the Pokémon Metronome
generator to like inform how this goes.
And then I clicked on the Pokémon generator and it was
Doom Desire. Yes, no, that's.
Canon. That's Canon.
Togevi is so fucking mad right now he's just graying on the
downfall of his enemies. They.
Summons Diraci and. OK, so 49 is like the middle of
the road. I mean, Tukape.
Tukape is a powerful wisher. He certainly, I don't think is
going to make any miracles happen, but he everyone can feel
his energy that he, he really wants his presence to be with
him in that moment. And we'll just go from there.
Was there something I missed? Did anybody else do anything or
we were just? I would love to have Cabbage use
Dazzling Gleam in short bursts in suspicious areas, as if she
was like taking photos and like clocking them into her mental
memory. Full on detective style.
Yeah, but not for like Illumination to follow the path
like Solely's doing this is purely for simulating a crime
scene. Yes, perfect.
I will give for that. So you go around doing that, you
are taking note of suspicious looking things and you do you
find a couple things along the trail.
You find a couple pieces of this kind of reddish brownish fur as
well as a green fur. Oh, interesting.
And you were helped, of course, to see these by solely's
illuminating light is the snow kind of around her melts a
little bit as she is heating up. OK, reddish.
And what was the other color? Green.
Cabbage will certainly share this new Intel with the rest of
the party and just kind of aggressively, you know, go up
the quacko holding the the Tufts and hold them up to Quackos beak
and say, what do you make of this quacko?
How do? They smell the the green one
does smell like that kind of sulfury garlicky smell that
solely was smelling earlier. The brown one or the reddish
brown? Just general Pokémon smell.
Generic Pokémon. Generic Pokémon smell.
Very good. Like the the the you?
Know the Berry farm animal Pokémon.
Yeah, 1 Gross. Get this out of my face.
Two. Yeah, that's the same guy.
Cabbage will give a nod and say good work detective and continue
like examining the the toughs of fur as they move down the path.
Carco kind of rolls his eyes a little bit, and then we'll
continue trying to comfort Omelette.
You're like, hey, we're going, we're super close, we're going
to get our stuff back. It's fine, it's fine.
Don't blow up. Omelette has completely healed
their mental health and they're actually just ready to go catch
these guys. Oh, that wish was pretty
successful. Yeah, I love that energy.
Yeah. He wished for a better mental
health and he got that. Merry Christmas.
God I wish that were me. I'm projecting as you guys.
Make your way. Down the path closer to Marvel,
you're getting closer to that area where that bridge is, where
you can cross over closer to the Marvel side and you see a child.
There's not really many people out tonight on this path in
particular, but there is this child who is wearing like a blue
coat. He's got a little beanie on his
head and he's got a Pokémon next to him.
It's like a brown Pokémon. He's kind of round, but he's got
a big tail under him and he's brown and he's got like a brown
striped tail and he's kind of like bouncing on the tail.
He's got a cute little ears and they both look very sad and you
can hear even from the distance that he is crying a little bit.
Omelette will immediately rush over because baby recognizes
baby and asks a little, presumably as you will, what's
wrong and just commiserate with them and their tears.
I think it was eccentric. Yes, it is.
Brown. It is brown.
I don't even think Chinese are real.
Yeah. Omelette.
Omelette roll with that. That's candid now.
Omelette I heard round instead of brown.
Omelette's going over. No matter what they think,
that's that's also a baby. Cabbage will speak up and say be
careful child, these might be one of the suspects.
Yeah, Quacko's already like, chasing after them.
It's like, don't go talking to strangers.
Solely's also running up to the strangers trying to ask the
child like what happened, who did this to you, but like cannot
speak to humans. So it's just like in their face,
in the child's face. OK cool.
I'm gonna have both solely and Omelet roll just a charisma
check and then I will roll an intuition for this child
probably does not have a great intuition. 6 for Riz. 21 for
omelette. Omelette's going crazy.
I love it. OK, so he he sees this group of
Pokémon rolling up on him that the child does, and he sees this
big fox like Pokémon with a bunch of tails who is currently
on fire in some way and melting the snow around her and he gets
a little scared. He just kind of like backs up a
little bit and is hiding behind his centric buddy.
But his centric buddy thankfully sees omelet and baby recognizes
baby and he turns to omelet and is like, I don't know what
happened. There was there was there was a
guy here and, and, and Carl was really sad about it.
And the child behind him will see his centric being a little
bit more brave and he will kind of peek around him and he's he's
sniffling a little bit and he looks at you all and he sees
omelet crying. And he's like, did, did the big,
did the big scary Santa guy steal from you too?
Interesting. I thought.
I thought he was Santa. Cabbage will present the stinky
fur to the child and and and then to sentient and we'll
speak. Does this jog any memories?
Can you tell me anything about this and just hold it in their
face? OK, I'll get.
I'll take a charisma from that as well.
OK, cabbage with the natural one on the charisma.
Fantastic. So that's a + 6.
They both recoil a bit. They're like taken aback like
and the the child starts to to hide behind his center again and
center goes, you know him. Are you working with him?
You shouldn't be shoving that thing in peoples faces.
Cabbage assures Quaco. This is all part of the process.
We need to get all the information we can.
Process. You're scaring a child.
This is. This is the consequences of
Ality just dating all the cops that just become. 1.
That was their mental influence. He's.
Not a stepfather, he's the father.
That's the stuff. Oh no.
Gosh. Unfortunately, that's Canon, so.
Cabbage will explain that she's not one of the bad guys and
neither is the entourage, but we are looking for them to try and
bring justice to the situation. This will this will calm down
center a little bit. And he will kind of give a
calming gesture to his friend, his best friend, Carl.
And he will explain a little bit.
Yeah. Me and Carl here, we went to
Marvel City to get a gift for his mother.
We decided that she should have a gift certificate to Clementine
Sawyer's lawyer services because she's been in some legal trouble
lately. And she just needs that to wait
off her back, you know what I'm saying?
And we were walking along here and we had candy canes and it
was a wonderful, you know, night, night before Christmas.
And this guy, he was, he was, he was all dressed like Santa
Claus. We thought we would, he was
Santa Claus. We was so excited.
And he just took, he took our certificate and he took our
candy canes. And I don't know what to do.
Cabbage Cabbage will say it was smart to get a lawyer involved
as you're committing the crime, not to like.
It's not them. Right, right, right.
It was more of just kind of a third person.
Does not know what a lawyer is. So what's?
So what's the centrist? 'S name.
The centrist's name is Maple. Maple.
Great. OK, cabbageable Mime taking
notes on her hand, which is not doing anything.
She's just kind of swirling the cream around.
But I don't know if you're, if you're looking for him, I guess
he was heading off towards Marvel City.
He had a he had a Pokémon, another Pokémon with him.
It looked like it was Stantler, but I can't be too sure.
The case is getting hotter. I think we know what we have to
do. I think we have to kill Santa
Claus. Cabbage nods.
This is. Obviously not Santa Claus.
This is an impersonator. Unfortunately, this is the only
option. Cabbage pulls out her gun.
Kelly Bird dirty like this. Pulls out her photos.
Hero. Days without the gunman.
Oh. My God.
No, no, no, no, no retcon. Cabbage has taken the gun and
has had it for several episodes now.
We just. Don't know.
We just don't know because we haven't used it.
I mean, she's got a switchblade. Like, I mean, what else?
Who knows? Omelette wants to know if they
can hold the gun. No.
Cabbage is fully down to continue to marvel, but I want
to leave room for the other Pokémon to RP if they want.
Almut's really scared, but he's down if everybody else is down.
To Marvel really scared. OK, perfect.
So you guys turn from Carl and Maple and make your way across
the bridge towards the bill. Somebody give me a perception
checks who hasn't done something in a bit.
Quacko, give me a perception. Do a dirty 23.
Amazing. You notice as you are walking
along you're keeping an eye on these tracks that you have
found, and before you had gotten to Carl and Maple they had all
been the same size, but now as you were making your way closer
to Mavo, the tracks of the bipedal creature are getting
larger. We got a shapeshifter on our
hands, shifting shapes and whatnot.
It seems like the only option. Omelette.
Do you think you could lighten the mood with one of your
cheerful finger wiggles? Oh my God, no.
You don't have to. How do you have to?
You don't want. All right, we're using Shore Up
Baby. OK.
More up. Yeah.
Does that mean like omelette? Just starts.
Eating sand. It's it's just eating sand.
You're. Just eating sand, man.
There is. I mean, you're crossing the
bridge. There's no sand there.
Yeah, Oh my God, it could. Be flavored as snow.
Perfect. Yeah, it's.
Building like a snowman around himself.
Yeah, you're just building like a little snowman.
You're eating the snow. You're having such a fun time in
the snow. And if you were damaged at all,
I would tell you that you could heal, but unfortunately you've
not taken any damage. We can give you time.
Unfortunately, she says. Unfortunately, we can give you
Yeah, I want to damage you guys just.
Go back and fight with Maple. That's fine, we'll scrap who's
the better baby. Roll AD 6.
In the meantime, Cabbage will say, yeah, that's the stuff.
Nothing like a child's wonder to lighten the mood.
I got a three. How much HP do you guys have?
A lot. A lot like 150, yeah.
Yeah, I have 154 HP. That's just a little baby
togopee. You can have nine temporary HP,
so this is just. Thank you.
You take away from that before you take away from the rest of
your HP. We can flavor that togopee so
powerful because of the spirit of Christmas.
No. Literally yes.
Yes, this period of Christmas has empowered Dogby and that's
why he's no longer a baby. He wants power.
Exactly. Cool.
So as you have recognized this, and as Omelet is having such fun
in the snow, you happen upon Mauville City which has been all
decked out for the season. It is covered in beautiful
holiday lights and there are tons of people walking through
the streets doing some last minute shopping.
Of course you can see further a bit into the city in the center,
sort of around the little gazebo area where the statue of
Champion May is, there is a very large, very tall Christmas tree
covered in beautiful brilliant lights and with the brightest,
most beautiful yellow light atop it.
You can see people gathering throughout the city going about
hustle and bustle because of course last minute shoppers.
Unfortunately, as it is so busy, the trail, the tracks that you
have been following, I'm no longer visible.
And there's so many smells throughout the city that
unfortunately it's not very easy to smell your way to where this
perpetrator has gone either. So you're going to have to take
a gander around, gain your bearings and see if you can
figure out another way to perhaps follow this trail if
that is what you choose to do. I think it's probably really
flammable. That tree probably is really.
Flammable. Are there any other Pokémon
around and do any of them look? Sad.
Yes. Should I make a?
Perception check. Yeah, I.
Make a perception check that is Wisdom based.
You're gonna think I'm fucking lying because this dice roller
is being really nice to me, but I got a natural 20.
Hell. Yes, of course you see someone.
Of course you see someone. A sad looking Pokémon.
As you are making your way a little bit into the city, You
see somebody, a sad looking purple rat Pokémon who actually
as you were walking on the side alongside Quacko.
Quacko recognizes this is the ratata that Schmidt got a hot
dog for that one time when you were in Moville City.
And of course, he does in fact, actually look quite sad.
And he's kind of standing inside that side of the road.
He looks in you and he's like, oh, it's you.
That the, the guy with the the hot dogs You, you trainer.
He got. Me, he got me hooked on hot
dogs. I, I every day and now I go and
I, I get a hot dog from this guy and I tell you, I tell you, I
was sitting here eating my hot dog.
That man went down on his glizzy.
You know how it is. And this guy and he, he was a
the Santa came, Santa came into town and he came up to me and he
took my hot dog and I, I just don't know what to do.
I he said maybe, you know, it's for the, the good little boys
and girls and I've actually been a very bad rat and I'm very sad
to learn that piece of information.
Santa told you you were bad. He told me I was a bad rat and.
Let's just start. Crying again.
Oh no, guys, we have to kill Santa Claus.
Someone agrees I'm ready to use Doom desire.
Cabbage would like to approach a human if possible.
Are there any humans around? There are.
So you're asking if there are humans around?
Yes. There are lots of humans around,
walking along the streets, they've got shopping bags and
hand, but none of them have really stopped to help this poor
dad Ratata without his hot dog. That's so sad.
I would, if it's permissible, I would like cabbage to interrupt
one, whoever is nearest and hold out the piece of stinky fur and
ask you, do you happen to know anything about this stinky piece
of fur? And it's going to probably sound
like that to Pokémon, but I'm assuming that to people it might
sound like. Yes, it absolutely sounds like
that. I'll let you roll a Christmas to
see if there's any response to this.
Of course, they don't know exactly what you're asking, but.
That's a that 22 in a row, yeah. Okay, maybe they do know.
That's a 25 total, yeah. 25, Yeah, yeah.
Amazing the shopper that you stop this kind of like older
looking woman and she looks down at you and she's like what a
cute little Al creamy. What is that you have there?
And she looks down at the little fur that you're holding up to
her and she's like that stinks. That stinks.
Just like that fellow that was dressed like Santa Claus, dude.
He was just here, but he had her off in that direction.
And she points over to a little area of marvel that you can see
has been set up as this sort of little holiday shopping village.
It's got these little kind of temporary looking wooden
buildings that are all set up with all sorts of decorations.
They've got like breaths and different foliage on them and
lights and it looks like a little cute little like artisan
holiday shopping market that has been set up.
And of course, this is probably the most packed part of the city
because this is where everybody wants to do their shopping.
OK, Cabbage is quite excited about getting a lead and we'll
say thank you Maiden. With your assistance, now we can
actually track down the perpetrator and Cabbage is
probably going to try and give her a little kiss on the hand if
that's permissible. Yes, you can give her a kiss on
the hand. She's like, oh, what delightful
matters. And then cabbage rule, when the
game is ready, ushered omelette quacko solely and hot dog rotata
to or at least inform them of the next destination.
If not, go there. Can hot dog rattata come with
us? You can invite him along.
Sir. Hey, Rattata, yo, we're going to
Kwaka's trying to meet him on his level.
He's like, hey, Rattata, we're going to go kill Santa Claus.
You win. He says do I get my hot dog
back? Fuck yeah, you do actually let
the money we're going to make from this job, you're going to
be able to buy 50 hot dogs. You son of a bitch, I'm in.
Omelet's wondering whether or not they're born into the mob.
That's fucking sick. So the five of you will head off
towards this little Christmas market.
As you make your way over, you get a little closer to the
buildings and you can see a lot of the little things that
they're selling. There's little wooden figures
and trinkets at one of the little buildings.
There's some expensive furs at another.
There's toys and cute little paper craft lights.
You can also smell hot cocoa, which is being sold at one of
the stalls in here, which sounds amazing to you all right now,
because it is. It is very cold out.
It is winter time in Malville City and it was falling, of
course. And you can see maybe there's
some other treats being sold as well.
There's a bakery. There's cookies and cheese and
sausages at some of the other stands as well.
But that is the general view that you can see on your level.
As you get closer to the crowd, it is much harder to see
anything because again, this place is packed.
There's like centimeters of space between you and like the
person next to you. If you were to try and like
weave through this crowd, we can't quite see.
But I, I will allow, I know we're making a lot of
perceptions, but if anybody would like to make a perception
here, you are welcome to go ahead to see if you can see
something. Hell yeah that's a 19 on the die
plus my 9. Amazing.
Good. OK, so you've got that sniffer
on you, you know, just what is up.
And you've got some good fluffy ears that I get for hearing as
well. So you can hear kind of around
that. You know, there's some general
discomfort and like, annoyance in this crowd from people, you
know, brushing up against on each other, people wanting to
get past on one another, going too slow, whatever.
But there's a lot more annoyance sort of on the farther end of
this little market as you can hear some complaints around and
you with your keen hearing and your keen smelling kind of
attuned to that area where that hot cocoa is, can hear a little
kid cry out. EW, something just peed in my
hot cocoa. And you look.
And maybe get a little bit of a higher ground and can see a
little creature that is wearing it looks like it's hard to tell
if it's wearing an outfit that has this color over.
It is actually red in color and has a little bag.
And it's got like a white kind of beard on its face.
And it is kind of dancing around this child with this hot cocoa
and sticking its little tongue out and going in.
Santa, we have to kill him. Target locked.
Before we rush over there, may I make a request?
You said that we're like in a market and then there's like a
vendor that has like a bunch of like little figures in like
trinkets and stuff. Mm, Hmm, yeah.
Could cabbage potentially pilfer some of those?
Just a couple. Absolutely yes.
You will have to make a slight of hand roll to be successful in
this endeavor. Okay, but you're welcome to try.
Okay, Dex is pretty good 14. Okay, I think you are able to
take one trinket if you would like, and then perhaps maybe
getting a little greedy trying to take another and someone
notices you and goes busy. What are you doing?
But you were able to slither into the crowd a bit further and
generally able to get away a little bit.
You might want to keep moving to stay away from this vendor
trying to stop you from stealing, but you were at least
able to grab one thing. OK, Cabbage will do that and
also will explain to the person I'm a detective on the case and
this is evidence, but of course they probably won't understand
that. Van will scurry along with the
two trinkets in hand. Omelette.
Wants Quacko to buy him a hot chocolate.
He doesn't understand the concept of money.
Can Quackos steal one of the hot chocolates?
That Who's the real guy? Yeah.
What's? The you guys are like honest
guys stealing stuff, but you. Guys are.
Stealing stuff. That doesn't happen.
Quackos entirely focused on killing Santa Claus.
OK. And solely clear a path to Santa
Claus by making it really warm. OK, I don't.
I'm not saying. I'm using do it.
I'm not using overheat like to hurt anybody, but like just like
warm it up where it's like, oh geez, I got to move.
It's hot. So people are clear in like a
path to make us like a nice easy access to the Santa man.
I would say just make make it as if you were going to make an
attack roll with overheat. Overheat is a deck save.
Oh, it's a deck save? Never mind then.
Do you want me to? Yeah, you can do this Rolodex.
Yeah, let's just do that. OK and my dex is +4 so that is
19. OK, yeah, I would say that's
good enough to in general keep people away from you as you
aren't making your way over to the other end where this hot
Coco stand and this sad child and weird creature are.
You will still all have to make. I'll say the rest of you make
Dexterity checks just to see if you can like, stay close to
solely and not like get lost in the crowd as you make your way
over, but this will certainly have made that easier. 19 for
cabbage. What about Quacko and?
Omelet for omelet. Omelet.
He rolls. He's rolling.
Sorry, Dex. Dex check.
Oh Dex, check. Oh, Quacko's broken, dirty 21.
Yeah, So as you guys are moving, so she does this, she creates a
little bit more of warmth around you guys.
And for a moment people are like, oh, that's nice.
I guess it's a little bit of warm going on here.
But then it gets a little bit too hot.
And of course they're all bundled up in their winter
coats, so it's starting to overheat a little and gets a
little sweaty. So they're like, never mind and
back away from you guys a bit. And you guys are able to stay
close to solely, but Omelet starts to roll away a little
bit. He's a small guy.
He's getting caught up in the crowd and there's a bit of a
danger that he might get trampled.
But he's close enough that if one of you wanted to, you could
reach out and grab him and grab, I told him so that he doesn't
roll away. And he volunteers.
He. Volunteers I was.
Rolling into the river, Goodbye for a world.
Goodbye. I.
Was gonna Quacko's gonna fly over there and offer a offer a
duck foot to like pull them out of the river.
I was just kidding about the river.
It is. It's like a river of people.
Sometimes you move through crowds and it truly feels like
you're in a yeah liquid. So yeah, that happens.
You were able to pull Omelet out and he's made to safety near the
9 tails who are you are all used to the warmth of at this point.
You know it's it's a little uncomfortable but you're all
able to deal with it pretty well as you make your way over to
where this child is. And you can see as you're make
your way over that there's actually 2 creatures who are
kind of dancing around as this child is kind of sad and they
are taking things from the various stalls and starting to
make their way out of the little market.
They look kind of similar. One is 1 is a bit bigger than
the other. And now that you're closer, you
can see them a bit more that they, they look like, they look
kind of like deadly birds. But one kind of has a more
pinker face. And well, actually they they
both have a pinker face, but one of the faces is darker than the
other. They're making their way kind of
past the market. Do you want to follow them?
Yeah. Absolutely.
Target locked. Gone for the.
Kill target locked. Don't take another step.
We're on the case. No, you're gonna make them turn
around. They do hear this and look back
at you for a moment and the one sticks its tongue out again and
is laughing. Was there something you wanted
to do? Well, I was gonna attack them
while their back is turned, but I think Schmidt has to be
present for the back grit thing that happened.
Yeah, I. Think.
Yeah, unfortunately, yeah, you can't.
You don't have the abilities of your trainers because they're
not here. Holy.
Shit, but they will close, are they?
They're, they're not, they're like I would say 20 or 30 feet
away, but there is like a crowd of people in between you and
them, so. Are you some?
No. No, no, no, no, no.
We're stopping this. Yeah, kill Santa Claus, Torch
him. We're not all people in between
them. We're not torching the other
people. Can solely make some kind of
indication that she's about to pop off in hopes that people
understand and move. What move are we using?
Is this like something that Quacko can interrupt?
Actually, Quacko's just gonna stand directly in front of
solely be like, no, we're not doing this.
Oh no. Oh no, are you still trying
solely? Well, I want to make sure I'm
trying to get people to like move out of the way.
And if they don't move, I guess I like won't.
Pop it off. OK?
Quacko is directly in front of you.
Friendly fire. It appears he is not moving.
If you really want to, you can. We could call this like an
intimidation. So charisma and then if you have
intimidation, to see if anybody else notices that you're about
to make a flamethrower. 15. OK, so yeah, people, people
generally are like, Oh my God, what is this?
What is this 9 tails doing as you kind of are like puffing up
and like getting that, you know, like when cats are like about to
pounce and they kind of like their front paws like gonna go
down on them a little bit and her like tails going up, they
see that and they get a little scared and you're already
radiating this heat so they're already staying away from you a
little bit. However, Quacko is still in
front of you and there is still, you know, there.
There's wooden buildings around and you're not sure if this is a
good idea, but it's ultimately up to you.
Sometimes drastic crimes require drastic solutions.
No. What what shape of move is Dark
Pulse? It's a sphere that you launch.
It's a ballistic move, isn't it? So I mean, it depends.
It's up to grace. All I have is 30 foot.
Range, right? And it's a roll to hit, right?
Yes. So I flavored it in the Quacko
Packo campaign as like a range spell attack where you identify
a target and you blast them with darkness.
But Grace is our DM, so it's up to her on what she wants to do.
Yeah, I would say like it's like a blast of dark energy.
But I could do that and not hit everybody in between.
It would be single target if it is the original Dark Pulse that
we've gone off of. Cool.
The idea was kind of like Alger to blast.
Kind of. It was like, like you hit
something. Yeah.
OK. We'll do the one with the pink
face. They both have a pink face.
One is lighter, one is darker and one is the light.
One is smaller, the dark one is larger.
Interesting. Go with the light one.
Go ahead and roll the head bun. That is a dirty 20 to hit.
That will hit. OK, no, no flinch or anything.
That is 4 D 6 + 7 for damage, 20 damage.
OK, you all watch as solely blasts this dark energy out from
herself towards this creature and kind of wraps around it and
it goes and then suddenly disappears as the sort of dark
energy kind of mists out. The creature disappears.
Yes, the creature disappears. Oh wow.
I killed Santa. And people in the crowd around
you are like, what the heck was that?
And there's like little kids, like, is this like kind of dark
energy came out and they're like kind of screaming and running
around getting away from you. Everyone is welcome to roll
Initiative if you would like to join in this fight with this
final, this other creature. Very good. 20.
Amazing. Say also got a 20.
Oh, whose deck is dex? You're probably higher.
I'd imagine yeah, the duck is. Yeah, minus the.
Son, the baby. Kira learning D&D shit.
That's pretty good that you just knew it was The Who.
Had the higher deck I have been editing for you since 2022.
Yeah, I don't. Know D.
And D shit then that's kind of embarrassing.
That's pretty cool. Well.
Cabbage got 7. OK, so I'm like got 20.
We all repeat them back. Yes, cabbage got 7.
It's. Only got 12.
There's a hot dog rat here. Oh yeah, hot dog rat.
Hot dog rat. I got a Rover hot dog rat.
Good old HHDR. Go 25.
Amazing. High Dynamic Resolution is the
name of the rat. That's totally his name.
Absolutely. Why is that his name?
Hot dog rat HDR. Oh, perfect, good to.
Do glizzy mouse nice. Glizzy mouse and I've always
said that. You know, dead mouse should have
been glizzy mouse. Actually true.
Yo Mary Glizmus. Mary Glizmus, everybody, and I'm
always when. We get the the name of this
episode. We get the hot dog back.
Very. Yeah, Quacko, you are welcome to
go. First there is a strange looking
deli bird like creature about 30 feet from you above the crowd of
people who are not very happy right now.
Hmm. So one of the creatures is just
teleported out of there and it's gone, right?
I can't identify. You're welcome to roll a
perception to see if you can tell what happened or whatever
is best for the situation if you want to intuit the situation.
Yeah. Would that be my action to do
that though? So that you can do that on a
bonus action. Might be less effective on a
bonus action than an action, but you can do it as a bonus action
if you'd like. OK.
I rolled A4 on investigation. Amazing.
So. Amazing.
Yeah. Yeah, it's dark.
There's just there's been a dark release of energy from Soli, and
then there was like this. It seems like there's more now,
now that she attacked the creature and it's just dark and
you cannot tell what is going on.
And there's also chaos from all these people running around
springing scared. OK, we'll just start with a
classic sword stance so Quacko's AC increases by 1 and doubling
all subsequent bonus damage for one minute.
Gotcha. Amazing, amazing Quacko, is that
your turn? I think that's it.
Yep, Omelette the Tokopi. It's up to you.
Omelette does not like that people are scared of him and his
friends and family. So is there a way to use charm
but not on the deli bird or whatever, but charm the crowd
into like letting them know we're the good guys.
We didn't just try to blow you guys up.
We would never release deadly Hellfire upon you.
No, that never crossed our minds.
Absolutely. Support B OK.
Yeah, it's just it's crossed Tolley's mind to rain down
Hellfire. But you know, you know.
Semantics you. Know semantics?
Cool, so. I don't know if you want to roll
through the crowd, but they need to make ADC 17 wisdom save.
Yeah, I will. On top of that, I will have you
make a persuasion check just to see how this goes.
I love that flavor. I'm +7 and persuasion OK, so 12
+ 719. Perfect.
Yes, bunch of babies. Absolutely everyone is just so
charmed by this adorable Togepi. Who, you know, just is so cute
and it's with this this group of Pokémon that a moment before
they were like a little bit afraid of, but now they see this
Toka me and they're like, there's no way that this group
of Pokémon would be up to scary business if they have such cute
of a Toka P with them. And everybody starts to calm
down just a little bit. They're still kind of staying
away from the situation because they can tell there's some
tension between you and whatever this Pokémon or creature,
whatever it is, is going on. But they are they're they're
feeling the people that have kind of remained in the area
feel a lot better thanks to your actions.
Perfect. Amazing.
Yeah, and we just get one. Yes, you get one action.
You're welcome to. If you want to make a ability
check or anything with your bonus action, you're welcome to
try and do that if you want to assess the situation anyway.
Or you can just send it there. Alma doesn't really know too
much. They're just, they're just a
baby. They have really good arcana.
I guess I can make a perception check about what the
disappearing. Portal is, I don't know, you're
a game. If you want to make an what the
fuck, you're a gamer. If you want to make an arcana
check. OK, cool.
That could be. That could be interesting,
certainly. So you roll the 7 + 5.
That's only 12. OK.
Yeah. So you can kind.
Of tell a little bit. I'll give you I'll give you this
one thing based on what you just did, right?
This creature again in front of you, before you did that, when
everyone was kind of scared and running around, this thing
seemed very gleeful, and it seemed like it was kind of
intent on causing more of this dismay.
And that action that you did of calming all of these Pokémon
down seem to have made it, you know, a little less confident
and a little less powerful in some way.
We can defeat him with the power of friendship.
We're going to kill Santa with good vibes and positivity.
That's the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud
for all to hear. And raining Hellfire.
Same thing, honestly.
All right, that will be little baby Omelette's turn.
Cool. All right, we will move on to
the Batty as we affectionately will call them.
He is going to look at solely, let's say solely just made his
friend disappear and he is going to ask solely to make a
constitution save as the burst of yellow energy comes out of
him. An 11.
All right as this yellow energy comes out towards solely starts
to crackle and gather around her and solely realizes that she
cannot move quite so easily, she is paralyzed.
Oh no. That is going to be it for the
baddies turn as he's kind of like looking around nervously.
After what this Toca bee has just done.
We will move to Hot Dog Rat's turn cuz I figure out what Hot
Dog Rat does HD. RHDR, let's go.
HDR got him. He will be very brave and he
will leap up and try to use his little 2, his cute little 2
front buck teeth to bite at this creature and we will rolled it
for him. We will see the did he
unfortunately will miss and kind of just bite past, but he's kind
of looking back at you guys like we could still do this and that
will bring us to solely. I'm gonna look at the rules for
paralysis again, but I believe when you begin your turn, roll
AD 4 did. Cabbage.
Go. Did I roll better?
Than cabbage is last year. Yes, cabbage is last.
I need to roll AD 4 to see if I can move.
Yes, indeed. Four.
OK, cool. So you are welcome to still.
Move fabulous. What's the game plan, fam?
Am I obliterating it with a Dark Pulse or are we trying to spread
Christmas cheer? Is there any way that you can do
both at once solely? I can spread Christmas cheer or
do damage. I'd like to use flamethrower,
but straight up in the air and in attempts to be like
fireworky. OK, cool.
See how do we want to do this? Roll a attack for flamethrower
and then add your charisma bonus on top of that.
So flamethrower is ADC 17 deck save.
Well, never mind then, we keep doing.
Why do you have only save moves? What the heck?
Because you damage. Just just make a performance
check for me then, so I'll charisma and then if you're
proficient. Oh no, Oh no, that isn't that
one, fam. No, you all watch as solely
blasts fire into the air and people who just a moment ago
were cooing and awning at omelet get this blast of heat energy at
them as this is scary. My jails is once again blasting
energy and fire and they back away again.
They're like, oh God. Unfortunately, there are no,
there's not a positive effect from this attack.
Is there anything else we'd like to do with your term?
My apologies fam. My pouch ease, it's a good try.
Omelets Lower lip is quivering, trying not to cry, no.
People do still feel bad for omelet.
They're like no omelet or no topi.
They don't know his name. They don't know his name, They
don't know his story. So okay, I have baby doll eyes.
It is a reaction to like impose disadvantage on somebody
attacking. Could I use it as a reaction to
everyone elses reactions of the flamethrower?
Not going well just to be like but I'm.
Cute. I'm just baby.
OK, kind of like a like a counter spell to a counter spell
situation. Just a little bit like just to
like soften the blow. Like, I'm not expecting to like,
win everybody over, be like, oops, did I do?
That sure, you can try. I hate to make you make a
performance check again, but it looks yeah, and I think it'll be
a performance trick. It is much better.
That's a 19. Amazing.
OK, so this definitely does soften the blow.
Everyone is kind of, I guess, the energy of like, oh, that was
kind of an accident. Like she didn't mean to do that.
You know, she's just a baby. Just like omelette.
She looks like the little Borzy. OK, that's what I said.
That's energy amazing. So, you know, kind of cleaned up
your mess there a little bit. People are people are getting
further away from the situation. They're they're knowing not to
get close now for sure after that display that will bring us
finally to cabbage. Cabbage will recoil a bit from
the heady display that solely performed and we'll say seems
like things are really heating up around here.
What is the distance from the fugitive Santa compared to
cabbage? I said you guys are about 30
feet away from him. OK.
I believe that's cabbage's movement, right?
Should be yes. OK.
You do have cabbage's sheet, right?
I totally. Forgot.
Yeah, I I have all the like, I don't have all the passives I've
given you, but I have, like, all the main stats and stuff.
Yes. OK.
In that case, cabbage should be able to move 30 feet and get
right up next to the perpetrator as a bonus action.
You said we can make checks with bonus actions, right?
Yep, go ahead. OK, just a good old like
investigation. See what this if this is really
Santa. Yeah, go ahead.
OK. 14. OK, you're close enough you can
tell this is definitely a Pokémon wearing a deliberate
costume. He's the the darker pink as I
was describing, and you can see Tufts of little purple hair
coming out from his costume around his face.
OK, can Cabbage make an attack with the knickknacks that she
picked up? Yes, holding them as like.
Yeah, dual bottoms or something, Yeah.
Yes, OK. How do we do improvised weapon
attacks in DNT, whatever that is?
It's usually it would be a role to hit with either strength or
dex mod probably added. Yeah.
Probably not proficiency unless cabbage is proficient in
knickknacks. I don't think she is, yeah.
That brings us to a 12. Unfortunately, that does not hit
this creature. Damn.
Because it side steps out of the way.
Of course, of course Cabbage will regain her composure and
going to let this criminal know that they're not going to get
away with ruining omelets Christmas.
As it steps away from this attack, it will actually attack
cabbage back and go in for a punch.
Uh oh, stinky, let me roll to. It omelette use follow me as a
reaction or am I too far away? Well, that's 50 feet.
That's actually a really good point.
You could certainly try to do that.
Is there a role for that? Yeah, it's a Christmas Eve for
the creature. Cool the DS.
Can do that. Charisma save.
That's so that's such a funny idea that he's just like across
the way and you're just like, no, pay attention to me and he
like runs away to go do this. That's very funny.
I love it though, we'll do it gaming.
Tonight. Seriously, what the fuck?
My God, I love it. He, he got on that one.
He's he's into it. He's idiot.
He's coming for. He's coming for.
Omelet does the. Running away to attack omelet
instead provoke attack of opportunity from having.
Because then y'all can just squat his.
Typically in D&D, like only what's the word, I'm looking
voluntary. Like voluntary, only voluntary
movement will give an opportunity of attack.
But I'm willing to allow an opportunity attack if cabbage
would like in this moment. Sure, just go for the Knick
knack hit again if that's OK. Yeah, go ahead.
OK, first post the Knick, now this one's the Knack.
Yeah, it was the Knick knack Patty Whack.
Yeah, that's what I was going for.
I was going to make that joke if it hit.
Oh, sorry, I rode it. I'm so sorry you.
Nailed it, it was great. Does a 13 hit one point higher?
Yes, this one will hit. OK, yeah, of course Cabbage will
say that's the Knick knack Paddy wack.
That's so stupid. And what would the damage be?
They're just little Knick knacks.
They do nothing too crazy. It's probably pretty like AD 6
plus something maybe? Does that make sense?
You sure? What do you want to add to it?
+2 OK, let's do that. That works.
That's dex mod SO4. And that's plus the two.
Yep. 2 + 2. OK, as this creature moves away,
this is actually an interesting question because he was sucker
punching you, but now it's been followed me away so he loses.
That. Wooden, he loses.
Gobi, he loses the sucker punch, so he's.
Wrecked. He is moving away towards
omelet, but he kind of loses the momentum for this punch as
Cabbage hits him with the Knick knack Paddy whack and clobbers
him with those little wooden figurines and he kind of hisses
a little bit, but he he's still up.
You said it's bipedal. He is bipedal, yeah.
So probably not a snake, maybe a cat.
Or he's just a vile little creature who likes to hiss.
Yeah, that's also fair. It's possible, but yes, he will
use his movement to go to omelette, but he cannot attack
omelette. Thank you, Omelette.
What was the color of the
creature's face again? Dark pink.
Dark pink, but we got green fur. I think I've got it figured out.
I think I do too, but I don't want to spell it.
Like I would definitely not have this figured out yet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No idea.
You're not alone. I don't know shit, I thought a
century was in a zoo row. It's just the baby in our house
that will bring us back to Quacko.
Santa Claus sighted Operation Kill Santa is a go.
I'm going to roll to hit with a slash.
Go for it. Does a 18 hit this fucker?
That will absolutely hit. Go ahead and roll our damage.
Cool, there's a total of 24 points of normal type damage.
This will do a very good amount of damage to the creature.
He will once again recoil from this attack that Quacko has
made, assumably with his leak as he batters said creature.
He's not. He's not looking too hot.
You you guys have done quite a number on to him.
Will that be all for Quacko? That will be it, yes.
Omelette here up. Omelette knows what the people
want, and what the people want is metronome so.
Yes, guys, what is a? Turn of beam.
Why's it always? Oh my God, it's a turn.
It's a signature all. This.
Pens you. Better not ruin Christmas.
I think it's give. Me my.
Presents. Back.
Or eat my eternal beam. Oh, wow.
All right. I.
Will say that I'm almost going to give them a choice.
They can give the presents back or eat this fucking eternal
beam. God.
Yeah, that's. The one where Eternitus flies up
into the sky, then summons a giant hand to shoot a laser.
Yeah, that's the one. This metronome.
Is fucked up. Oh my God.
So as Omelette rises into the air and this amazing draconic
energy gathers around him and he becomes powerful and reigns from
above this purplish pinkish energy.
Unfortunately, it does no damage to this creature.
Is this? Fairy type?
What kind of gnat? Oh my God, Alma feels personally
betrayed as a fairy type. That's.
So sorry. Type Would it ruin Christmas
like this? Alma feeling betrayed after like
becoming a demon is like really funny.
Like an Elvis energy. I was like what the fuck?
And then, oh, I can't believe it didn't work.
Yeah. Yeah, oh man.
Oh man. I wanted to obliterate this
thing. How that twink obliterated Oh.
Man, Oh my God. OK.
Amazing. Yeah, I really that was Yeah.
He's a fairy guy. He.
It is now. Unless Omelet wanted to do
anything else, it is his turn. He will turn to Quacko, who is
beside him and make an attack. Let me see what he can roll.
He's awful at rolling. He's so bad.
Does an 11 hit. No.
He attempts to kind of karate chop you with his arm, but
unfortunately Quacko is too quick, too speedy, too dextrous
and that will unfortunately not it.
It's Raditus turn. Let's fucking go.
I love this guy. He once again is going to try
and gnaw out this thing with his little teeth.
He's just a little guy guys, you can't expect too much of him.
He lost his hot dog. He's sad about his hot dog.
He wants his hot dog back. He wishes his dude was his hot
dog and he would eat him. But unfortunately this is not
the case and he misses bringing us to Soli who must once again
make AD 4 to see if she can do Wait, wait, if you rule A4 does
it go away? I feel like was that No,
nevermind, it's what was I thinking of.
Maybe, I don't know, probably confusion, but if you wanted to.
Do that I was thinking of. Confusion before.
I was thinking of confusion, so ignore what I just said.
But you can still move, so that's fun.
So what do you do that's. Thick.
Well, I don't want to hit my friends and a flamethrower would
hit my friends. Let's go.
Is that thing where you can sculpt your moves?
Is that a Cindy passive or a solely passive?
It is a Cindy passive. Unfortunate how?
Many conditions. Yeah, yeah.
I can't sign turns and conditions without a human
presence. Yeah, damn.
However I can re roll ones for new damage on fire type attacks.
Is exploding dices that do you think too?
That's a Cindy thing, Yes. OK, it's a little Dark Pulse.
Is that roll to hit? Yes.
What is 16 + 7? It's enough to hit it 20.
Three Fabulous. It doesn't flinch because it's
not a natural role of 17 or greater Big Sage, but that is 4
D 6 + 720 damage for the Dark Pulse.
Amazing as once again this dark energy comes out of solely and
meets this creature. Once again, you watch as it
vanishes into the black mist surrounding it and we are out of
initiative. Come on, no.
Have you handled? The get a new.
Cam so as kind of this darkness clears from the market again
there, you know, there's kind of a clearing of people around you.
So you can kind of see a little bit that just past the market
that you are in there is a ice rink area.
And I will invite, let's have omelet make a perception check
Sarah Wisdom Plus, if you have perception proficiency in that,
goodness me. I'm gonna go 3.
Oh my. God is so tiny and small, how
are they supposed to see? He just, he just spent all of
his energy on this massive blast that you know, he's, he's not
feeling too. Great about the whole situation.
He's also just pissed off. He's like, I didn't get to nuke
that guy. Exactly.
And, you know, you're surrounded by these these markets and these
stalls, and you're right by the hot cocoa.
It just smells so good. And you're a little distracted
by that. Do you think we could charm the
stall guy to give us some hot chocolate for our troubles?
You could certainly try, and I'm gonna.
Try. Can we also?
Yeah, absolutely bribe. Him using the trinkets.
Oh, you could try that as well, like as.
Currents I got a 12 + 7 that is another 19.
Amazing he is the the you you walk up to you waddle rather
more accurate for Tokapee up to this stall where they are
selling this delicious looking hot cocoa and the guy running
the stall looks down at you and you're so cute and you got these
big ol eyes and he says you're just so cute.
You know what? Have a hot cocoa on the House.
Would you like some whipped cream?
Omelette nods enthusiastically. He takes a little whipped cream
container, shakes it up, sprays it around on there, and he hands
you in this cute little mug. And it's shaped like a little
oot and it's full of delicious smelling hot cocoa and it's got
cute little Christmassy tree designs on it.
And it says Smallville City Market, enter the year that we
are in in Pokémon. I don't know if there are years,
but it's commemorating the year. And he hands it to you.
And he says you and your friends took care of those scary beasts.
Would they like some hot Coco too?
Oh. My gosh, Omelette.
Omelette nods again. Everybody gets hot chocolate
cake. Everybody is welcome to have
some hot chocolate. I will say without even a role
that this will cure Soli's paralysis and somebody took
damage cracker like. Cracker did not.
I said no one. Take I missed on all my attacks
cuz I'm bad Amazing sorry. Cabbage would like to impart no
whipped cream if possible. Is that gonna be?
Oh, sure. OK.
And then instead it's got each individual Pokémon.
Yeah. And then instead, Cabbage will
open her mouth and it'll go, whip will come out and she will
simply consume that whip cream. Instead so.
Curious. She's.
Eating her own with grains. She's just a walking ready whip
bottle. I'm creating a new Canon for
cabbage. OK, it's just what's happening.
I love it. No, it's perfect.
She decorated it OK. And.
Is gonna take omelettes and make sure it's not too hot.
It's gonna like take the lid off and like, blow on it a little
bit. That's very sweet.
So cute. That's so fatherly.
And he will. Probably.
Flat the wing a little bit to make like a nice little little
breeze. Does does hot dog rap partake?
Oh yes, absolutely. He's like, it's no, I'm a dog,
but it'll do. I love this guy, holy shit.
And he'll he'll give Solis to her in more of like a a dish so
that she can access it. That's true.
Lots of bipedal bonds and then yeah.
Yeah, just so Lily, who's a fox, She she be slurping as you are
all enjoying this delicious treat that has been provided
with you and watching perhaps the the skating rink that is
nearby. It's kind of like a skating
ribbon. It's kind of this trail that
winds around so you can watch people and Pokémon as they pass
by on skates. You see one particular Pokémon
which is * shaped and orange and he's got he's got like a red gem
in his center and he's got little skating shoes on his feet
and he's he's actually, he's killing it on the on the ice
skating. Is it on 2 feet?
He's very happy, or yeah, he's on two of his feet like his
little star. Yeah, I love that it was.
Bottom ones, yeah. That's awesome.
He's like holding hands with his trainer.
It's really cute. But as you're watching this,
you're noticing that the the people that are coming around to
this bend here originally had been quite happy and are
starting to look a little bit more disturbed.
And you're starting to see why as two more of these creatures
that you just fought are come sliding across this the rink and
barrel into the person holding hands with their star U and
knock them over and kind of like go and then continue skating
down the ice skating ribbon. Oh no, we're going to have to
apprehend those fugitives. Is there a place to get like
ice? Skates you could look around
for. One are the bad guys on ice
skate? Not really, no.
They're skating on their feet. Oh, cool.
So. We don't really need them.
No, yeah, you could certainly just skate with your feet feel.
Like. You're extra stuff.
Roll you. Should roll along the ice.
I want to just like. Golf omelet into the bad guys.
Can I? It's like a bowling ball.
Bowling. Episode can I roll to see are
these the same 2 fuckers that we encountered?
Are these different fuckers? Yeah, you could certainly roll
to see if you know that piece of information.
You're far enough away. That would probably be a
perception. What does an 18 get me?
Certainly you can see in their their costumes, you know, a
little bit different. These are these are kind of hand
homemade costumes and you say they're a little bit different.
They've got different like inconsistencies in them.
They're the same type of creature that you fought before,
but these are certainly two different ones it.
Seems like gang activity. King Quacko fly up and see if I
can perceive like a large area and see if I can see like more
of these creatures. Oh, certainly.
Yeah, you can certainly try. Yeah, I'll, I'll give you old
enough, well enough on that previous perception.
So you can you're more than welcome to fly up.
And yeah, you can see if you're looking at the skating ribbon
that there's there's a couple of the more of these guys kind of
just going along the track, tripping people, laughing in
people's faces, putting, you know, jumping on people's heads
and then putting their hands over their heads or their over
their eyes so that they can't see where they're going and they
crash into somebody else. And you can see throughout the
city, you can't actually see the creatures themselves very well,
but you can see that the general vibe in the city is very quickly
getting disgruntled. There's some sort of disturbance
happening throughout the city. Seems we have a Santa Claus
epidemic on our hands. Too many Santa Clauses.
These guys are assholes and Toby just stomps their little feet,
but then they look really scared that they're going to get in
trouble for saying a bad word. Where'd you learn that word?
Quacko from up in the sky with the parent ears.
What'd you just say? Yeah, I guess it's it's time to
go skating, question mark. Well, so we know that they're,
they're all over, right? Like it's not just the skating
rink, it's everywhere. So I think we have to try to
find the source of the Santa Clauses.
Maybe it's the source inside of us all along.
Can I make a percent an arcana check?
I don't really know what I'm looking for.
Yeah, you can full send it. But yeah, I forget we will.
OK, well I got a 3 + 5. That's.
That's the worst in the world. Yeah.
You you get the vibe that these dudes certainly are thriving off
of this mayhem and chaos, which is what you kind of tell before,
and that there is certainly one major source of this discontent.
And it's not the little guys. They're they they are not, you
know, the main so AI AM and main source of this male contented
the city. There seems to be something
bigger perhaps that is causing more of a disturbance.
You can't really tell where or what exactly they're doing, but
these are not the only thing you're dealing with.
I might be thinking of Footloose.
I'm not sure. I'm picturing like a movie that
has a musical sequence with someone who gets all worked up
and then they go on an angry dance.
Is that Footloose? That's.
Also High School Musical too. Oh, it's probably high school.
No, but on it. Yeah, I would like Cabbage to
digest all this information and then start tapping her foot and
then just burst out into a series of sparkling, dazzling
gleams and dance moves that might eventually lead itself
onto the ice, where she expresses her frustration using
performative interpretive dance. I love it, absolutely make her
performance for me. OK.
She is she proficient in that or just high?
Chris yeah, I believe she is. Oh yeah, no, because her,
because her perfuming is that. Yeah, her performance is her
perfume. Yep, she's proficient in that.
OK, that's a 17. Amazing.
As you are blasting off these beautiful dazzling gleams, they
look a little bit like fireworks, like maybe what
Solely was trying to do earlier. Maybe we're a little inspired
and it's performance. People are like, oh, that,
that's really cool. And some people who are coming
around the bend of the ice rink who maybe had been knocked over,
starting to stand up and they're looking and they're like, oh,
yeah, like I can get into that. Wish there was like, music
playing or something. And you actually can hear a
little bit of music playing a little bit further down the ice
skating rink. Certainly cabbage might be like
going like making cabbage sounds.
But what she's really saying is she's I'm so angry.
We need to solve this case. I'm getting so worked up.
She's very upset. But to the listeners, she's
probably just making cute cooing sounds or something.
Absolutely. OK, will you all follow cabbage
onto the ice Do. We have.
To make a dex check to do so. Think we?
Should Yes, you, you. When you get into the ice, you.
We will provide. Excuse me, require some
provision. I'm sort of dexterous.
Already. Remain.
Yeah, upright you don't have. To use cabbage, it's just what
cabbage is doing. Very stick together.
Quacko whirls. And I've always.
Fly above the. Ice.
Good idea. Quacko Quacko's literally gonna
be a helicopter parent and fly above omelet.
You know, omelet's. Actually roll this, you can roll
with advantage. I'll say because we go back
when. We go again, we go again.
Cuz that was a four. It's fine.
Quackos. Finally, guidance.
OK, so this time was an 8 +2 by 10.
OK, it is by no means of the word graceful as Omelette spins
along on the ice. But he's fine.
He's he's making progress and Quacko is kind of like guiding
him along and making sure that he doesn't get hurt or bump into
anybody as he's going along. He's solely joining us on the
ice. Am I rolling dex?
Yes. Dex is +4, so it's a 13.
OK, so yeah, solely as well. It's not, you know, it's she's
no cabbage with the performance, but she's certainly able to kind
of step her away along with the ice.
It's kind of melting a little under her feet and causing a
little divots, but she's the last there, so it's not
affecting any of you guys. So it's like not a huge deal as
you guys make your way, the ice skating ribbon, as you are
making your way, you can see a couple of these creatures that
you have fought the the similar to the creatures you have fought
before making their way ahead of you and they are kind of
heading. You can see in the distance.
It's kind of hard to see like because it kind of like is a
winding shape to see like what's on the other end of this.
Like there's like trees in the way.
So you can't really see where exactly they're headed or
you're. Headed if you're following them,
but you are welcome to try and follow them perhaps.
OK, hear me out, hear me out solely instead of trying to walk
on the ice is gonna like slide on her stomach and like Zamboni
with her heat. Perfect.
So yeah, you're creating a smooth.
Surface Zamboni's work. It's just hot.
Yeah, pretty much. Yes.
So yeah, you're creating some as you go.
It's not creating divots or problems for anybody else who's
following you. Yeah, I.
Do is everyone's following the creatures?
We got to follow these Fey. Amazing.
As you follow them, they start to make their way again to the
end of this ribbon and there's a part of it where it opens up
onto another sheet of ice where there's they start to skate
around towards that direction and there's kind of a a crowd of
people that you can see around besides skating rink.
Perhaps you're waiting to gone, Perhaps there's something else
going on. You can't really tell from your
distance from them. Do you follow them onto this
other sheet of ice? Certainly.
Amazing. As you make your way, add on to
the ice, you look around and somebody give me a perception
check. I'll.
Do it. Amazing. 13.
OK, cool. So you watch as the two
creatures are kind of doing something interesting.
They're kind of making a bit of a spectacle, kind of spreading
this, like, pink fairy energy between themselves.
One sort of lifted the other. And he did like a flip in the
air, and it was like, really sick.
And the people in the crowd are cheering and then they kind of
move off to the side and you hear, looks like we've got some
late entries to the figure skating competition.
After that wonderful performance by those two Pokémon, a group
with a far fetched 9 tails, an out creamy and a tokabi have
made their way out onto the ice for their performance.
Let's see what they can do. And you can see, true enough,
there's a sign off to the side claiming that it's a figure
skating competition with the grand prize of a visit with
Santa, the subtext says. Kills Santa.
The subtext says groups and singles welcome.
And then off to the side of that, there is a panel with
three judges. There is a guy wearing like a
it's like a cowboy hat, but like the top of it is like a Santa
hat. And it's like the red with the
little white bobble on. On the he's on the left side.
And on the right side there's a woman who's kind of got little
like stantler antlers on her head, and in between them is a
Pokémon who looks kind of like a Penguin, but he has a cue before
a head. Very sweet.
And everybody is watching you, all for you to make your
performance. What will you do?
What are we going to do? Guys, OK, what if cabbage just
carries us all and then like in the performance, not actually
carries us, but then Quacko grabs omelet and we do some like
sick tricks in the air and they'll be like wow, they're so
talented and then solely can create like fireworks but not
kill anybody with the fire and it'll be awesome.
OK, yes, Melissa can Solely and Cabbage do some team shit.
Of course Cabbage is willing to take some damage if Solely is
willing to blast her into the air with fire and she can get
all roasty toasty like a marshmallow, all caramelized.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that something we do?
Want like a flamethrower? Probably.
A flamethrower just like a as high as possible in this rink
and also like in the center of the rink.
If possible, just get just get cabbage in the air.
Sure. What am I rolling?
Are we going to roll a teamwork roll?
It's up to grace. Yeah, we can do a teamwork roll.
Let's do, let's do a couple of things.
Let's do, we usually do like a D6 for those teamwork roles.
And then you just try to get as close together as possible.
Yeah. Yeah.
So you both want to roll a D6. Okay.
All right. A4.
I got a one. Okay, could be.
Worse. Okay, not the worst, Yeah, could
be worse. And then could I get?
I'd like to clarify that the intention is that when Cabbage
reaches her apex that she'd like to fling some decorate over to
the ice cube. Who is a judge?
Oh amazing, I love that. Does cabbage need to roll like a
deck save to like save from the the move flamethrower?
Yeah, let's do that just to see if it like does any damage or
anything like that 01818. OK, that is higher than the
DC-17 to save. Nice.
Do you want to do it where like you still take half damage?
Is it like because it's like more for show that it's like
save is save is none and fail would would have been like half
or something like that because I know that's like a thing.
Yeah, when I do my terms and conditions, but I can't do that
with Cindy. I'll say because this is part of
her performance that cabbage won't take any damage because of
that. And we'll do, we'll do a
performance check from both of you just to see how this looks
fabulous. 21. 21. 12. They're they're reversed.
Yeah. Still still very good as this
happens as solely blasts cabbage in a Ring of Fire into the air.
And she gets a little roasty, toasty.
And then she flings her fake creaminess onto the ice cube
judge and he gets covered in this cream and he immediately he
just kind of like perks up and starts clapping his little
flippers together. Yes, very sweet.
Anything else for you 2 or would someone else like to jump in?
I'm curious what the other half is doing.
Omelette's so inspired and Omelette wants Quacko to throw
them in the air and they want to use charm.
Quacko, OH. Let's go.
He was worried about his dad saying no.
And can I get a dex from Quacko to see how well he can bring
Omelette into the air? And then just another
performance from Omelet. Decks.
Yes. 12. Is that that's like a mid roll
for Quacko right? Yeah, that's like low for.
Quacko, what's performance based off of Charisma, Yes.
Yes. OK, 7.
Are we adding proficiency modifiers too or just flat decks
if? You want to make this like an
acrobatics? Are you proficient?
What are you provisioning? Perception and intimidation
literally never come. Out of the campaign.
Intimidate the judge. I would say if this were to be
anything it would be in acrobatics for proficiency, but
if you don't have proficiency in that.
OK, yeah, then just the 12. Little beans.
OK cool, let me do some math here to see how this comes for
all of y'all. Is there anything else anyone
would like to add or is this the full?
Performance, maybe, if anything, just as Savage lands back on the
ice, I think her attention will focus to catching omelette if
necessary. Omelette appreciates that nobody
wants a cracked egg on the ice skating.
Ring no Humpty Dumpty. Today, nobody wants a cracked
egg, OK? Totally is just gonna like,
skate around hell. Yeah, like her Zamboni skating.
Your like figure eights across belly down, figure eights across
the freight. I love it.
That's. The best part of the
performance, really. Honestly, I'm so down for that.
I'd be popping off if I saw that.
I'd be like, that's so cool actually.
Anything else from Quacko? No, it's just also a helicopter
parent to make sure omelet doesn't die.
Perfect, OK, we'll do a dex trek from Cabbage with advantage
since Quacko is helping. Oh great to see if she can catch
Omelet. With advantage 18 is my higher
rule. Amazing you will do it.
Great. You will catch the beautiful
baby. Hello my child or Quacko's
child? Omelet does not say anything.
Amazing. And with this big finish, the
crowd erupts into applause. Wahoo and the announcer will say
what a performance. I didn't know those four Pokémon
could work together like that. But what will the judges say?
And we will turn to the judges. The first judge will say, yeah,
I really, I really like that performance.
That far fetched did an incredible job flinging that
togepi into the air. And I just love those figure
eights from that 9 tail as he as she slid across the floor.
That was it was quite a Beaver performance.
Hubert, what do you think? And the ice cube, the ice cube,
who is still covered in Al creamy scream will just be
clapping, still clapping his flippers together.
He's so very excited and he just made like yeah, sound.
And then the final job will say I couldn't agree more, Cubit.
They were just beautiful. I absolutely loved the way that
that nine tails shot that Al creamy into the air and then
covered you in this beautiful cake.
Can't imagine just a more perfect performance.
Well done, you all. Wow.
And yeah, they will turn to the announcer once again.
He will say, all right, I would like all of our contestants to
come back around for one final go around before the judges
announce the winners of our figure skating competition.
As some Pokémon will make their way back out onto the ice.
You will see there's kind of a Pokémon who performed alone.
Who is this blue aquatic creature with kind of a Gray
shell on her back? And she's kind of singing as she
goes and it's this beautiful melody and she's kind of
Slytherin along the ice. There's two Pokémon who
performed together who are kind of just doing like backflips off
each other, like it's really sick and crazy.
And one of them has, they're both kind of like got cute
little pudgy yellow bodies, but one has red tips on its ears and
red cheeks. And one of them has blue tips on
its ear and blue little cheeks. And then finally one group will
come out which is 2 littler Pokémon who have like these like
helmets on their heads which are Gray and black and have like a
little like laid sticking out of them.
And they got like blades coming out of their bellies and blades
for hands. And they're with a bigger guy
who looks similar to them, but taller and with more blades.
And they have on their feet little blades that look like the
bottom of ice skating shoes, that look like similar material
to the blades on their heads and hands.
And they are skating around and they look very intimidating and
cool. And you do not see the creatures
that did performance over there. Perhaps they scurried off and
were intimidated by our performance.
Very cool and well done. The judges are going to kind of
huddle together and they're whispering and conferring a
little bit. And you see Cubert the ice cube
nodding, of course. And they will bring the
announcer over and whisper something in his ear.
And he will say, the judges have decided the winners of our
figure skating competition. Drum roll, please.
And then all of the people in the audience will kind of like
pat their legs. You know how they do with like
the drum rolls and then they will announce the winners of the
grand prize of a trip to visit Santa at the Grand Tree are the
far fetched out creamy 9 tails in togopee group and then the
crowd eruption. The rest of you will see receive
consolation prizes in the form of gift certificates to
Clementine Sawyer's lawyer services.
But for our grand prize winners, please right this way and he
will lead you guys off the rink. Law Service gift certificates is
so. Yeah, I mean it's.
Just gift, gift. It's the gift to give.
This year is what I you know. It's going to be so busy, dude.
That's good. Kabich is elated in this moment
but has one chief concern and that's we lost HDR.
Oh my God, I forgot about HDR. No, he was watching.
He was watching. He kind of knew this was
happening. And so he was off to the side
and he was like, he was clapping for you guys, though.
He's just not a performer. He just, he's not about that
limelight. Yeah, yeah, he's more of an
eater. Yeah, absolutely.
He's definitely, he's found something to gnaw on.
Like, you know, he's maybe stole like a little bit of popcorn
from somebody and he's kind of gnawing on it, but he's like, he
comes up to you guys after the permits and he's like, Oh my
God, you guys, that was an amazing performance.
I, I, I would have ruined it if I was there.
I, I can't believe you guys pulled that off.
Where we off to next? All right, game.
To kill Santa, it's. Time to kill Santa Claus.
There's no. Problem, you just loaded the
gun, omelette would. Once again like to request to
hold the gun. There's no gun.
There.
Is no gun. Cocking their whipped cream
dispenser, I'm. Going to force them to do a whip
it I bet. I could summon a gun with.
That you know. Oh yeah, let him RIP.
Yeah, I shouldn't. Roll.
I mean, it's like a roll I. Was Chelsea use ancestral Faye
magic too? Oh.
God, what's fun? Oh yeah.
Rage. Rage, yeah, Could you?
So the the Dunsparse rage is like raging for barbarian and
D&D. It's like you can't use spells,
but I don't know how that translates.
And then you resist most damage for a bit and you're really
angry and you deal more damage with your attacks, with your
melee attacks. I think Omelette deserves a
little rage as a treat. Yeah, that's just how she.
Feels or he feels, yeah. Should we roll a fame magic in
celebration? That sounds a little.
Risky if you want. Yeah, I want.
To find out I can roll my. Actual.
Whole D100 all right. Go for it.
Oh, it's so rolly because there's so many sides. 45 Have
we done that one yet? Is it new average?
Pain. Magic, I think it's new.
It is new. It's new.
That's crazy. Oh yeah.
Let me look at the thing. Yes, you hold the knowledge of
what happens. OK.
Are you ready? Yes.
So the result of this maybe should I just send it to you and
then you describe it? Is that better?
It's up to you. If you want to describe it, you
can. I think that's better.
I feel weird. You're the DM, you should you
should do it. Awesome.
Yes, I love it. Perfect.
So you all watch as in her excitement, cabbage is gathered
by the ancestral fame magic that you are all so familiar with.
And all of this energy kind of gathers in this pink mist, which
manifests in front of you in the form of a Pokémon with sort of a
white fur. And it's got like it's, it's a
quadrupedal. It has this pink and blue kind
of cyan, kind of kind of pinkish purple and cyan curls of hair
falling from its head. And it has a horn coming out of
its head as well. Cabbage has summoned a glary and
rabidash. Oh my.
God. Who looks at you all and tosses
its mane very beautifully and dramatically and says oops,
summons me from my slumber. Cabbage will raise her hand and
say it was I I need your assistance.
We're on the trail of a crime and we have to defeat Santa and
you are all the hope. The Glarion Rapidish looks
shocked this information and says Oh well if you insist, I
will have to extend my help lead the way to this foul Santa and.
Rapidash's back as a writer. Perfect.
I love it. Amazing as that happens.
The announcer Will, who kind of was the one who told you this
grand prize, will start to lead you all over to the giant tree.
Is there anything else anybody would like to do before you get
to presumably Santa? Can omelette ride on 9 tails his
back? Absolutely you can.
You can both ride. That means Quacko needs to ride
on HDR. It's the only option.
He can drive. Is going to a helicopter parent
to make sure that omelette does not fall off 9 tails.
OK, so just fly above my tails. Can solely use like one of her
tails to like hold cabbage, not cabbage omelette on like I don't
know how how much control she has over her tails, but like if
she can use them to like keep keep steady.
I don't I I assume she has control over them.
Yeah, I think she could use them to keep him steady.
Amazing. What a beautiful image as
cabbage majestically feeling powerful atop this glary and
rabbit ash, this creature of Faye beauty and omelette.
The adorable little egg togepi atop the fierce and powerful 9
tails that is solely and then flapping alongside them.
Far fetched. The fatherly quacko, the
fatherly far fetched. And then beside you all, of
course, the iconic, as we all know, member of the Quacko Paco
HDR Hot Dog Rat. Icotic.
Truly. Everyone knows and you make your
way following this announcer up to this large tree.
And there are, it's kind of this ring of children.
It's not like a completely ring, but they're mostly the way
around the tree. And they are singing and holding
hands and swaying and it's a beautiful picture and a
beautiful noise. And accompanying them are a
variety of Pokémon. And they are, there's some that
are kind of yellow and round and they look like little bells and
they've got little like a red and white striped ties to their
back and they're chiming along. And then there's other ones that
are kind of similar, but they're white in color with little
pinkish red markings. And they've got kind of a long
tail at the bottom of them and they're also shining along and
it's quite beautiful. And at the top of the very top
of the tree is a yellow round, but he's got like like he's got
5 little points coming off of him and he's got like kind of a
twinkle to him, but he looks kind of like Rocky.
There's Pokémon and he is shining and he looks very happy
to be up there. And yeah, it's a beautiful
scene. As you make your way closer,
however, you see at the front of this tree is a big chair, and
it's a red chair and it looks very regal and looks like
someone fit for Santa Claus himself.
And he's got his big sack of gifts right next to him.
Who else could it be but Santa is that in this chair, wearing
his red coat and his hat and his big old boots?
But something doesn't look quite right.
Would anybody like to make a perception?
I can percept. Yeah, solely.
Give. Him a snip with my plus 9 to
perception. Fuck, why am I so bad at math
3021? Amazing.
Yeah, you can tell. It's it's that scent.
It's that smell that you got earlier, that sulphree,
garlicky, gross smell. He's a stinky.
He just can't stand. He's a stinky, stinky guy.
And he doesn't shower. He doesn't shower and you
remember stories of Santa Claus and you may never have met him,
but you're pretty sure he isn't green.
But this this creature surely is as you all approach.
Cabbage will hold the green Tufts of fur and say Oh my God.
Oh my God, I love it. Oh my Arceus.
Yeah, something like that. Hamlet will not be the first to
volunteer to sit on Santa's lap and make a wish.
Yeah, Omelette is like clutching with his little baby hands onto
the back of Soli because he is not having it.
Yeah, but if we play this out, we can like, play to get closer
and then kill Santa Claus well, in front of all these children.
In front of all these children they had.
To learn Santa. Was real eventually.
Hard guys, come on. It's got to be their hot dog,
rat or Rapidash. It's our only option.
I was going to say, it's got to be the dad.
Quacko. Yeah, to be the bait.
No, here's what I think we take the the most charming one of us,
the baby. The baby needs to sit on Santa
Claus's lap. But you got to get the pictures,
right? As they do that, Quacko will
sneak around the back with the sword and slice Santa's throat.
Oh my God, all. Right omelette.
Omelette uses metronome in Santa's lap because the omelette
is just baby. OK, Omelette.
Omelette's willing to take one for the team.
Cabbage will prepare to take a photo with dazzling gleam in the
same way that she was on the way to marvel.
I'm kissing. I love it.
Perfect. For the file, OK yeah, I'm just
going to waddle up. OK, I'm like, we'll waddle up.
Will you hop up onto Santa's lap?
Someone would have to like place omelette on Santa's lap, maybe
like. Solely, solely will like.
Walk up. Quacko will like very
stealthily. He'll like, not stealthily, but
he'll pick up Omelette and then fly Omelette up to Sam's lap and
then sneak around behind the chair.
OK. OK, make a make a stealth check
quacko. Hell yeah to.
See if he doesn't notice this and if I would like to make a.
Stealth is based off. Charisma in some regard,
Performance or persuasion? 18.
Amazing. Yeah, I also.
Got an 18 on the die but my persuasion is +7 baby.
Crazy Toby. Amazing.
Yes, you will manage to sneak by Santa Claus unnoticed Quacko as
you tiptoe around to the back of his chair.
It is a very large chair. It's going to be a little hard
to reach if you're looking to attack from back there, but it's
certainly not impossible as omelet pops up onto his lap and
yeah, this dude, he smell, he smells not good and he doesn't,
he doesn't look good either. He's a little ugly under the hat
and everything. He's really big, like Beard, and
it's covering most of his face, so it's not that bad.
But from what you can see, it's not great.
But you know you. He doesn't suspect anything from
you. He certainly thinks you.
You just want to make a wish. And he looks at you.
He says that. All right, kid, what do you
want? To have lots of presents under
the Christmas tree and lots of lights in the house that we're
staying at. Do you think you can help me
make that happen, Santa? Yeah, sure, we can do that.
Wow, thank you so much, Omlet. Like hugs one.
Does he have arms? Does does this Hannah have arms?
Yes. He has arm.
All right, Omlet will hug one of his arms are really tight, maybe
a little too tight. And yeah, just kind of wait for
the rest of the party. What?
Wiggle the finger. Oh shit.
OK, yeah.
After Yeah. You go ahead and roll and
mention. Them with you?
All right, guys. No way I roll tickle.
That's crazy. Oh my God.
So yeah, man. It's so fucked up.
OK, OK, OK. Yeah, we can definitely work at
this. I think I feel like this has got
to be a save it'd. Be con save I would say but.
Yeah, yeah. No, I definitely was leaning con
save for sure. All right, he'll roll this.
Yeah, we'll see. As for the save DC, it would
probably be. I feel like this is like
Charisma, like you're tickling someone Charisma.
No, He. Rolling OK.
Yeah, I'm rolling. Don't worry about it.
Yeah, you're you're good. See, let's go 14 for that save
there. I did roll.
I just have to do math now, and Lord knows how long that takes
me. This is Con.
Yeah, he will fail. Let's go.
We're killing Santa Claus. You're killing Santa Claus.
Everyone tickle them. Tickle them and yeah, we'll say
the effects of this. I guess I don't have to tell
you, but it lowers lowers attack and defense.
So I feel like that's like lowering AC and damage bonus
yeah. So we will do that.
So that will that will keep in mind for next session, because
we're certainly not going to get through this whole final fart
fight here. Excuse me, almost said final
fart. But we.
Will we have to fight Santa? Wait.
What We're fighting Santa. That's crazy, but it's actually.
Crazy as omelet goes to tickle Santa and he if you would like.
Are you making it obvious that this is some sort of attack, or
are you just kind of like being a cutie little guy dickling him?
Just a little guy. OK, roll it.
Easy. Roll a deception, so that's
Charisma and then if you have that proficiency.
So it'll be. Deceptive, right?
Maybe. I got 18 and then we have
Charisma so it's +2. 32 and you're crazy.
You're. A bro.
But he starts laughing. He is laughing and he, you know,
you notice as you were walking up, he's he's quite a large guy.
He's bigger than you expected Santa to ever be, quite
honestly, like he, he's pretty big, right?
And as you're tickling him, make a perception check omelet and
anybody else who's wanting to if you're interested and he's
laughing. He's like perception.
What's the wisdom? Wisdom 16.
OK, you notice he's getting a little smaller.
Interesting. Alma doesn't know what to do
that with that information. They're just a little guy.
Are we, are we going in? Is it slashes throat time?
Yeah. Yeah, do it.
Yeah, Murder. Get out of gun.
Let me slash his throat. Miss DM.
What? What am I rolling?
Oh, I mean I feel like this is like a slash attack.
Just a regular slash. OK, yeah, let's.
Do that. Is this like a do you have like
a sneak attack thing? I don't know how that.
Works that is a Schmidt specific I am, which usually implies
advantage. Yeah, we can say you're flanking
for sure. So yeah, you can do it with
advantage. But probably not.
Yeah, about that. Not critting.
I got a 19 on the die. Yeah, that one.
Which is a quacko crit right? Which?
Yeah. What's the lead if I roll up to
an 18 on the die it's. Amazing, yeah.
Yeah. Go ahead and roll your damage as
you take your leak and slash Santa.
Cut him up. 59 points of normal damage.
What Zam, I get his ass as you attack.
He is enraged and he throws omelet from his lap and ends up
and he tosses the Santa costume and is revealed to be a bipedal
Pokémon who is strangely all green.
And he's got two pointy ears coming out of the top of his
head and a really long pointy green nose.
And he's got like curls coming off of him and three little
disgusting fingers and kind of like a he's just covered in
hair. And he looks at all of you and
he says, you got me sites. And then he will summon his
little friends, and we will end on one thing as he will begin to
sing. You're a mean one, Mr. Grimm.
You really are a heel. You're as cuddly as miraculous.
You're weak as fuck to steal Mr. Grimm.
You're bad for the metal with your 8 turn light screen.
You're a monster, Mr. Grimm. You're worse, Incineroar.
Your brain is full of grimers. You have true audition in your
soul, Mr. Grimm. I wouldn't touch you with an A
lowland executor. You're a vile Mr. Grim.
You have. Grabbings in your smile you have
all the tender sweetness of a crit hit crocodile.
Mr. Grim, given the choice between the two of you, I take
Law. Crit hit crocodile.
You're a foul wine, Mr. Grimm. You're a nasty wask.
Your heart is full of black and sludge.
Your soul is full of muck, Mr. Grimm.
The three words that best describe you are as follows.
And I quote stink. Stink.
But before we continue with that, we will actually switch
over to Schrover, the Giglitz perspective, who has just woken
up from his slumber and realized that you are all missing and
that all of the Christmas decorations and presents and
everything on the Berry farm is also missing.
Trevor will begin to make his way into following the path of
that the others took, presumably being able to see their tracks
in the snow, which would be pretty obvious leading into the
city. I will just have you give, once
you get into the study, a perception check just to see how
quickly you can spot the rest of the Quacko Packo companions.
Hey, hey, where is everybody? Yeah, they gotta find them.
Very big. Yeah.
Perception check. Got it.
Yes. Oh no, my perception check.
I can't find them. I rolled a. 3 rolled A3.
Rolled. Them Why isn't it too loveable?
You know what? I'm asking the wrong questions.
You're right here. That's what.
I'm saying. Say this full time.
So I'm saying this whole time. Yeah, so you make your way into
the city and things are starting to turn chaotic in the city.
You can kind of see from where you are.
There's a there's a general annoyance throughout the city,
something people are being peeved.
You know, it's pretty crowded right now.
People were last minute shopping.
That's already adding to it. And then there's these little
creatures that are going around causing mayhem.
So it's making it hard to tell. So you kind of roll up and one
of the first things you see in the city is a little Christmas
market with little temporary wooden buildings covered in
like, holiday decor and foliage. And it's beautiful.
And they've got like mistletoe and holly and all the wonderful
things. And there's delicious smells
from all kinds of foods. Are you interested in doing
anything in the Christmas market?
Is there any little Santa hat stores?
Absolutely there are Santa hat stores.
That would be lovely. I need a hat so bad.
OK. Are you going to How are you?
How would you like a hat? Are you going to steal it, ask
for it, pay for it? I don't know if you have any
money. I probably don't have money.
OK, OK. I'm going to approach a store.
It's like, hey, hey, I want to. I want to feel the spirit of
Christmas. I need a hat.
You think you can hand me one? And then I give them like a rock
formation, finger guns. Amazing.
I don't. What noise does Giggleth make?
I don't actually know. Something like that.
Absolutely perfect. That's.
So that's the noise that the clerk hears.
His little companion is similar to a Pokémon that you have seen
before that you're actually kind of familiar with.
At the beginning of the Quacko Paco's journey together, one of
the very first things that you did was rescue a Picchu named
Pablo, which appears to be also standing.
Maybe the perhaps this is a relative of the K's.
Perhaps it's Kay himself who made his way to Marvel somehow.
But this Picchu is wearing a little kind of the top hat of a
star hat on a set, like with three little points, and he's
got little like ribbons lying off of it.
He's dressed up in a little Jirachi costume in the spirit of
the holidays, because he wants to be the star on the top of the
tree. So go ahead and roll a charisma.
See if this Pichu is interested in selling you or giving to you
a hat either. My charisma rolls based on
strength, although are those I could choose this out?
It's for intimidation. I'm not trying to intimidate
Pablo, although is Pablo scared of my completely?
If you want, you can try you know.
Also, is that is that Trevor only or is that Gimli?
Gimli and his Pokémon. OK, so I think I don't know cuz
so the way we were rolling it last time is that the.
I got a 14. So OK.
It might not be relevant. Yeah, we were saying last time,
like the trainer abilities don't necessarily apply because your
trainers aren't with you, but if that's like one of those things
where it's like you and your Pokémon like.
Yeah, apparently Emily and all of his Pokémon.
Right. So that makes sense.
Yeah, that would also apply. OK, so the Picchu and the
storekeeper are like looking at you.
And then the Peachu is like, yeah, I think.
I think you could use a Santa hat.
Every Pokémon deserves to dress up and feel holidayish, and they
will hand you a wonderful Santa hat which you can put on your
head. So my God, thank.
You. It's wonderful.
And they say happy holidays. Make another general Charisma
check, this time with advantage. A10.
OK, You can see that the people around you who have kind of been
feeling the effects of this general annoyance that's been
happening, some may be dealing with these little impish
creatures. They see you in your little
Santa hat. You know, it distracts them for
a moment from the annoy set is going on.
It doesn't. They don't necessarily, you
know, feel super confident, but they are at least just
distracted by a moment, by how cool you look in your little
Santa hat. Awesome, now I feel the holiday
spirit all right. Amazing.
OK. So we will now go back over to
the rest of the group and we will we will catch up with
Trevor the Giglith monetarily everybody roll initiative
including Trevor. Oh baby.
Appropriately, I got a three, so probably. 43 OK, cool.
Also a three. We'll get you over.
Oh no, you. Definitely have more decks that
I do. I got up.
Who's gonna say? What's your deck?
And -12 OK. Got a 15.
Amazing. We will go ahead and begin this
combat as something interesting happens.
You are. You watch as the green
interesting grim snarl in front of you.
He is much larger than you would anticipate a normal grim snarl
to be. Say he's like at least 10 feet
tall. He has some allies with him as
well. You see two of the creatures
that you fought earlier join him in this battle.
You all know that they are an impedim and a more grim and
these two look a bit tougher than the ones that you fought
before. And he has one final ally, which
is a reddish brown little dog Pokémon who is wearing a little
antler attached to his head. And he, he looks like, you know,
he's just kind of like there. He's, he's not trying to be like
super intimidating or anything. He's just there cuz his buddy's
there and he's got like little yellow Tufts of hair on his
head. And before anybody has a chance
to move, a couple of things happen very quickly.
You watch as the grim snarl in front of you starts to kind of
flex his arms a little bit as some sort of effect takes that
takes place that will make him a bit harder to hit, perhaps count
counteracting the tickle that Omelette was able to get off.
Before this combat, a couple other things will happen as
well. The Morgrim will look at
Omelette and stick his tongue out and like flap his arms on
the side of his head and go. And he will force you to make a
Wisdom saving throw. Everyone.
Just omelette. The DC.
The DC is 14. I got 10 but then I'm plus one
wisdom. So is it meets it beats it for
this, or is that the other thing?
I forget how we rolled this. I believe you for checks.
It beats a pizza. Yeah, right.
So you make it. OK, OK, cool.
Omelet sticks his tongue out right back.
Cute, I love it. And then the Impa Dimp will turn
to Quacko behind the Grim Snarl who has just done a decent chunk
of starting all the damage and will force you to make a con
save. Con save What's the DC?
DC-15. I got a 15 on the die and I am
plus one in con. Nicely done you guys scraping by
these D CS Amazing as this yellow energy that you saw
earlier that affected solely and paralyzed her will shoot out of
this impedimp but Quacko will steadfast and be steadfast and
shake it off Amazing. Let's move on now to the friends
hot dog Rat and eat the Glarion Rapidash that Cabbage is
writing. We will have the Glarion
Rapidash go first. They are going to attempt to
attack the Impedimp and War Grim.
They're going to. This is a move that you've seen
come out of cabbage many times before.
It is a sparkle of pink energy. This is Dazzling Gleam.
Oh my God, they rolled horribly. OK, so they are going to both
take a chunk of damage as well as be blinded by this attack by
glaring Rapidash. She's helping you guys out.
I have a very important question for the DM.
Yes. Does Glaring Rapidash have a
name? Rainbow Dash.
I'm gonna Rainbow Dash. Yeah, she doesn't have an
inherit name, but if you want to give her one, you can.
It's Rainbow Dash. Hell yeah, that's.
Same page. Rain, yes, same page.
Absolutely. All right, so that's Rainbow
Dash's turn. One thing I've had to say, as we
go to Rainbow Dash's turn, they're going to kind of shake
and shut her a little bit and be like and turn to you all and say
I would worry about these ones. They have some moves that might
be able to do a lot of damage to some of you.
Classic Rainbow Dash giving advice.
Classic Rainbow Dash. He's just they know things, man.
And OK, so that's that. And then we're going to move to
HDR, who is going to turn around and waggle his butt at the let's
go with Grim Snarl himself with a tail whip.
So I'm going to make Grim Snarl roll here for this.
OK, He did amazing. So the Grim Snarl is unaffected.
He's too focused on you all and ruining the spirit of Christmas
to be affected by this tail whip.
We're poor. HDRHDR is trying his best.
He's just a rat. He's just a rat and he misses
his hot dog. He wants his hot dog back.
All right, That is the. What was that?
I said he wasn't built for this. He wasn't built for this, for
this life. He just goes.
Rats. As that failed and we will then
turn into Quacko. This is the first turn.
Yeah, we're gonna sword stance up.
Let's go setting up on him. Yeah.
So does that look like as Quacko does that?
Quacko does a little dance with his Leak blade.
I love it. Will Quacko do anything else
with his turn? Since we were ruling it, since
Schmidt and his Pokémon level 10, Quacko's going to evasive
stance. The big grim snarl I am imposing
disadvantage on whenever they target Quacko with an attack.
OK, cool. And that will be I lay.
Down a trap card and in my turn. Lay down a trap guard and have
my turn. Perfect, OK we will turn.
Now it is the baddies turn. However, most of the baddies
actually already used their turn.
The only one who will move is the little dog Pokémon as the
Mr. Grimm. The grim snarl turns to him and
says. Jeff, get down.
And he, he's going to turn to attack you guys.
He is going to kind of bare his sharp dog teeth and use snarl.
So I'm going to need, let's see who will this affect?
I mean, you guys are pretty much all grouped together.
If this was like a cone coming from him, it would probably
affect everybody. So could everybody make a Wisdom
save DC-15? Yeah, including me.
Am I there yet? You were not there yet.
I just wanted to roll initiative to see like when we'll have you
go and then OK, you probably you probably.
Get that? 4/4.
Oh, I know. Oh.
I guess cabbage isn't wise that's.
Curious. Yeah.
I rolled a natural 1 so that plus one really save and save an
omelet. All right, Yeah.
Quacko 18. Quacko was OK You we made it
anyway, but Quacko was behind him, so we probably wouldn't.
I forgot about that. So yeah, probably wouldn't
affect Quacko. So who all got lower than 15?
All of us. Yes.
Everyone, Oh my gosh even your friends failed.
This is so sad. Everybody will be affected by
this scenario, so the next rule that you make will be a
disadvantage. No.
Oh, does it? Deal damage also yes it will
also do damage. I have to rule that to do math.
This will do 15 dark type damage, so half that if you or
savage our fairy and fighting types.
How many sorry? 1515 have to We need seven.
Yeah, seven I. Think we got down?
But I got my temporary HPV. True, you do.
I can say that to you. So true, bestie.
So. Amazing omelette, it is your
turn. Miss great and powerful and all
knowing DM Yes. How do you feel about Metronome
PP. You know what I How many did you
have? I only have 5.
Have you used them? All No.
No, no, I got 2 left but I'm kind of.
Just oh, OK. You know, since it's for the
vibes and the. Cold shirt.
And the spirit of Christmas. Yeah, absolutely.
Counting. It's like you don't have to
count calories on Christmas, you don't have to count metronomes
and the boss like it's fine. Yeah, that's fine if you just
want a metronome every turn like.
Yeah. That's the trade off.
Yeah, we. Don't count peepees on
Christmas. All right.
We're wagging our little fingers and we are using gravity.
Gravity. OK.
Let. Me.
See what's going to happen to me?
Gravity. We're holding space for that
today. I think I'll try defying
gravity. Well, we're not defined.
We're we're enforcing gravity. No, we're yeah with this is like
we're following the laws. I won't go flying the air
smacking down to the ground. Hello, this is the Gravity
Police. You're under arrest.
No, not the gravity police, OK. Gravity.
Police, OH. Police Audi.
Is she here? Hello Police.
Well, the police is scabage. Oh.
Shit is the police, that's why they're such good friends.
Exactly. So gravity increases the
accuracy of moves. Yeah, it's how it works in the
game. It also.
Grounds floating targets? Fine it.
Also. You know.
Floating targets, which I think would only be.
Yeah, this fucks me over in particular.
So that's very funny between father and son, almost rebelling
a little bit. He said stay here.
Yeah, I guess it'll be my turn. Yeah, I'm just checking out what
the effects of this should be. Or just like a plus to hit or
something? Or you can roll with advantage
on hit or something. Yeah.
Which rolls with advantage to hit?
How do we feel about that? That's so crazy.
Let's do it. Yeah.
And then we'll we'll have this last like three turns because
that's crazy to do this for like 10 turns, which is a minute.
So how do we have about 3 turns? True.
That's. Good.
OK. Amazing.
That negates, that negates or like cancels out our
disadvantage that we have right now, right?
Yeah. It just makes it normal.
Yeah, flat for your next roll. Hell yeah.
Fuck me. Yeah.
Yeah, it's fuck my snarls. No, this is awesome.
I love it. OK, cool.
Well, I'm let do anything else with history.
So he got flinged off of Grim Snarl's lap, right?
Like we're not anywhere near him.
OK, cool. Yeah, you're, you're, you're
probably like 10 feet away, ish. OK, yeah, I don't know.
Aside from like having a little temper tantrum, not much.
Omelet. I love it.
It's Brat Winter, Yeah, for
omelette. Brat Winter as he wags his
little finger and everybody feels grounded in this moment as
we're all holding space and enforcing gravity.
And for the next three turns everybody will roll attack X to
hit with advantage. At the end of Omelet's turn, the
Grinch is going to do something. He is going to briefly turn
around and attempt to hit Quacko with an attack.
I believe Quacko you're invasive stance meant that this was with
a disadvantage, but with gravity that would make this a flat
roll. So I will go ahead and roll to
hit Mr. Quacko. Can I use follow me as reaction?
Quacko also does have a plus one to his AC with his sword stance.
Oh cool. Yes.
If you would like to follow me, you are welcome to do that.
Yeah, you're gonna do it. I'll do.
It catch your father. Exactly.
All right. You have to make a save, right?
So yeah, you have to make a DC-17 Charisma save.
OK, well I will just use the dice that I just rolled for
that, which I'm just rolling terribly today.
So that was a four. So I believe he fails.
So that is going to work and then he will roll to hit you and
that is with disadvantage, unfortunately.
Oh my God. Anyways, OK, there we go.
That's a better role. I rolled, I had the first one
thing that I rolled was a three and then it was plus one of his
charisma and then I rolled the three again, but I rolled
another role and now the total is 21 to hit.
Pull that hit. Omelet that does that does hit
Omelet let. Me roll my damage me when I have
to use my calculator for basic math.
OK, this will do 25 damage and yes.
What was the attack? He is hitting you with a spirit
break, so he is going to stop down with some fairy energy
coming from his arm. And so now we're going to cancel
out the. No.
No, the holiday spirit break gravity.
Holiday Spirit as it is so named now, will now counteract that.
So normally this would make your rolls be disadvantaged, but
sister and gravity that will just return them to flat rolls.
Delightful, I'm. Fun with disadvantage and
disadvantage today. OK, that will be grim snarls,
Legendary action and Omelet's reaction.
We will turn now to solely hi. Hello.
OK so I started blasting how does drought?
How does? Drought work.
Good question. Yeah, I guess who wants?
To solely has drought. I don't think we we established
that when we started the the game.
Yeah. So when do you want me to read
out what drought does? Because I have it right in front
of. Me sick.
Yeah, it's total has dropped. So when slowly enters the
battlefield, the weather changes to bright sunlight for five
rounds. If another weather effect
happens, it cancels it. Then in harsh sunlight, fire
attacks steal additional flat damage equal to your proficiency
bonus. Water dam.
Our water attacks steal half overall damage.
And then there's some effects that rely on weather like.
Solar like solar beam. Solar beam.
Yeah, you don't have to charge. More like solar beam.
Solely, am I right? OK, so if this is the beginning
of the battle, yes. Could that be the start of?
Drought. Cuz I don't think it affected
anything anyway so. Yeah, it wouldn't have affected
anything like before. I don't think anybody used any.
It might have melted the ice on the ice skating rink, but like,
you know. Well, this is for like, I feel
like drought takes effect like in combat.
Like this is like a combat so. It's like combat starts, the sun
comes up in the night time. You know what?
That's actually a really good question.
Hold on. It is the night wise.
It is the night. Time.
And it is. It is.
Also sunny. Yeah, we'll say there's some
really strong moonlight. I will say the moon, the
moonlight. Sun.
Yeah, it's just reflected from the sun.
So it's literally the same thing.
I will say because again, I mean, it's night time and it
also previously was snowing. I'm going to roll for a chance
every turn to see if the weather changes back to snow.
But for now you have sun. So I can just blast a solar
beam? It's in use your case it says 80
foot. Is it like a a line?
Like a beam? Yeah, it's a.
Line. All right, we're aiming at a
grim, grim starl. He's not immune to it, right?
How does? No, no.
No. He's just it is ADC 17 dex save.
I got it. And I don't have to charge it
because it it it high heating. Oh my God, I I cannot stop
rolling threes. I don't know what's happening.
He's going to fail that. So yeah, he's going to fail
that, so I'm doing full damage. Is wait when this move is used
solely uses her action to absorb sunlight.
But we're in fun, so it that OK, happens.
OK, if this move is used in harsh sunlight, double the
damage bonus and attack without needing to charge, OK, double
the attack damage bonus. OK, which is +4, but that is now
+8. OK, OK, OK, 4D12 plus. 8. 123433
grass damage. Amazing, we do my maths as
solely the sun or not the sun. The moon now shining much
brighter. The snow is dissipating from the
area around you guys, enhanced by solely is just inherent aura
of warmth as she blasts this gun of grass type energy at
Armstrong. She takes a decent amount of
damage. Amazing.
We will move now to cabbage. All right, we cabbage will
address the criminals and and turn to the party and and say we
can't let these ruffians get away with stealing Christmas.
And she will throw her brow and attempt to dazzling gleam.
How many targets does that hit? I believe it's a cone that it
hits in. OK I thought so but I wanted to
see what you were cuz you're the DM.
Yes. So how many?
I guess how many creatures could be subject to dazzling in this
scenario? A good question.
I think it would depend. I will say, I guess I didn't
super describe well the scene that you have all come upon.
The Grim Snarl obviously is directly in front of the tree,
in front of this giant chair which Quacko was behind, and you
are all kind of in front of that.
And then the Impedimp and the Morgrim are kind of up in the
tree. So if you wanted, you could hit
both of them, but then you wouldn't be able to hit anybody
else. Or you could hit both a Grim
Snarl and Max Triff because they are like right next to each
other. Revealed.
I was wondering which dog it was.
He is Max Triff, the Mastriff. OK, very sweet.
Yeah, I want to target the little guys.
OK, cool. So that's they have to make the
save, right? Yeah, DC18 Charisma, Con.
Do you do charisma or Con? I don't remember.
For Gleam. Does it say Hondale?
I think that was. Charisma.
I think we made it charisma for cabbage specifically.
OK, yeah, then that makes sense. That'll be Charisma.
OK, we fixed. Let me get to Roland.
Go rolling. And we also had it where a pass
save was no damage, right? Yes, that's a 15 and an 8.
OK so those both fail and assuming super effective because
they're all dark types. So I got 15 on my 4 D 6 + 8.
We'll double it first. So 38 right?
38 points of fairy damage. You double it before adding the
bonus, right? Yeah, so 38 as they get blasted
with some bright holiday spirit lights.
This is going to go ahead and you will watch as the impedimp,
the little lower one, will dissipate into that dark smoke
misty substance that you saw happen before as he is removed
from the fight entirely, and then the other one, more grim,
will take a decent amount of damage.
Cabbage will be disappointed and do that thing.
I don't know how to describe this, when when someone like
loses a bet or is disappointed and they'll like look down and
they'll swing their arm and snap.
You know what I'm saying? If you just give you pictures,
yeah, yeah. Exactly.
That energy where Cabbage is going to say that like I can't
believe he got away and is going to turn her attention to the
remaining combatants, we'll say that she's still mounted on
Rapidash because it's funny. Yes, I love it.
They both as was it. I mean they happen in a quick
enough time that perhaps both of these dazzling glames come out
from the rainbow. Rainbow Dash at the Gallerian
Rabbit Dash and Cabbage the up baby.
Yeah, in a blinding of beautiful, perhaps holiday
themed lights which will obliterate 1 twink and severely
damage another. Oh God, not the twink
obliteration. It always comes back to Twink.
Obliteration always there. Wouldn't be a little once
without a twink obliteration. And I've always said that,
always said that. I've never not said that
honestly. So that would be Cabbage's turn.
Great. As after that happens, the more
grim on that is left. Standing near the top of the
tree is starting to get a little antsy and he's hopping around a
bit and Mr. Grimm is going to look towards him and get kind of
a dark look on his face and then move towards the tree.
And this is this is a very tall tree.
This is like Rockefeller Center, like massive Christmas tree. 45
foot. 45 foot tree. Yeah.
This is this is this thing had to be brought in by a crane.
I also describe, I guess, the general scenery around you
because before us all happened, there were children that had
been gathered around the Christmas tree singing and then
a crowd therefore around them as well.
But you know, as this fighting has started, there's been a bit
of dismay as they have all started to scatter.
However, they are still in the area as Grim Snarl is going to
turn to the tree and put his hands on it and it appears that
he may be trying to tip it over. So that will happen.
We will now return back to Trevor in the little market.
Make another perception check for me.
Gotcha. That one's significantly better
17. Amazing.
So you can certainly tell that there is something going on in
the middle of town. I will say that you could use if
you dashed this turn, you could use your whole turn to make it
to the town square and and be able to fight next round.
I'm bashing. Hey, I'm rocking over here.
Let's get out of the way. I'm coming in.
I'm walking. Hey, I'm rocking here.
Perfect amazing people. People are getting out of the
way is this massive Navy blue rocky creature wearing a
delightful Santa hat barrels through the streets of Marvel as
he makes his way to the center where this massive tree is
surrounded by this commotion as you all watch your wonderful
friend Trevor the Giglith roll up to the party.
I'm here. OK, cool.
Yeah, amazing. If nobody has any response to
that, we will return to the top of initiative.
It is once again your friend's turn.
Hot dog rat and Galerian Rapidash.
Galerian Rapidash, Rainbow Dash. The Galerian Rapidash is now
going to make a play for Max Shift, the mash Shift and is
going to charge forward with. His horn on top of his head and
attempt to make an attack. I will go ahead and roll.
Oh my gosh, that's like my 10th 3 you.
Gotta keep doing it. I have to keep going.
I have to keep rolling threes. OK, so the move will fail to do
any damage, but Maxdiff will be knocked prone for the time being
as the Rapidash charges for him. Cabbage on his back.
As for HDR, the amazing hot dog rat, he's getting fired up.
He is starting to gather his energy as he uses focus energy
and he will do this as a bonus action and then he will kind of
building off of Glarion Rapidash.
His energy kind of jump onto him and then over and then try to
attack the mastiff. Mastiff, the mastiff with a
biting attack. Amazing.
I continue to roll. Amazingly.
This will also miss. Unfortunately.
He's doing his best. OK guys, it's fine.
And yeah, that will be your friend's turn.
It is now Quacko's turn. Now Quacko's turn.
OK, I have sword stand stuff. This big fucker is trying to
knock the tree over, right? From what you can tell, that
seems to be what is happening. I don't want that to happen.
What can I do about it? Just for simplicity sake, I'm
just gonna go for a slash this term.
It is a dirty 23 to hit. This will hit.
I will say, as this happens, the remaining Morgrim is going to
throw up a shield over the the kind of shimmering thing that
you've seen come out of your friend Mr. Salt.
The Carbank similarly is going to reduce some damage from this
attack, but go ahead and rule your damage.
And I get double bonus damage on it for the sword stance.
Nicely done. That would make it 34 points of
normal type damage. OK, cool.
So as Quacko goes for this slash with his leafy blade from behind
the grim snarl as he is attempting to shake and rock
this Christmas tree, two things are going to happen at once.
One, as I mentioned before, that shield is going to come up in
front of him. Two, he is going to retaliate
and attack Quacko with a cyber bunch.
This is so does evasive stance. How long does evasive stance
last? Is it until the end of your next
turn or the start of your next turn?
They use their bonus action to impose disadvantage to being
targeted by one enemy. I didn't put a limit on it.
That's the thing with homebrew, sometimes you forget that stuff.
Fair enough. I would suggest it's until the
start of their next turn. That's.
What? Yeah, I think that's fair
enough. Yeah.
OK, So if that is the case, then I will rule this with advantage
as per gravity. Yeah, that's very high.
I'm doing math in my head. Will a 26 hit?
No, it doesn't. No.
OK, crack goes crack. Absolutely.
I figured cool. This will do 23 dark type damage
as he punches you with his rain fist.
That sucked. Yeah, that does suck.
OK, it is now Bonus actually. Oh yes you do.
Sorry, didn't mean to you. You do have the rest of your
turn. OK, I'd like to evasive stance
him again. Perfect you set upon him evasive
stance. It is now the baddie's turn as
Grim Snarl is going to attempt to knock this tree over.
I'm going to go ahead and roll to see if he does this with the
help of his friend Moore Grimm who is shaking the tree from the
top starting to try and help it bring it down.
And they are successful as the tree starts to trip to tip down
the massive again Rockefeller Square side as people are
screaming and running and terrified of this occurring.
It is not going to fall to the ground right now, but in the
next couple of rounds it will have fallen to the ground.
So you will have time to try and stop this thing from hitting the
ground and hurting anybody. But it is in the process of
doing so as people are screaming and running away and generally
seem to be very fearful. As you also watch the grim snarl
starts to become empowered and grow even taller.
He is at this point probably almost as tall as the tree was
when it was standing. Not quite, but almost as he
grows even more powerful. This was a result of the tree
falling. Potentially yes.
On Christmas, sadness it. Was like, is the tree still
falling? Like is it not?
It's not falling. Yet, yes.
So yeah, it hasn't fallen yet. You're welcome on your turn to
make any sort of roles to see if you can suss out what is going
on here, why he was empowered. If I turn the tree to ash then
it won't fall and hurt anybody. It's a sexual statement.
That's the. Holiday spirit.
That is. Very true.
That takes time. That would just have a tree on
fire. Arson solely can make some
pretty hot heat. What's a little Christmas arson
amongst friends? Yeah, that's a big Christmas
arson. A little Christmas ice, then.
That's certainly not little. Okay, I forgot to roll to see if
the snow was gonna take over the sun.
Okay, that was a failure. Sun is still up just for your
information, Hallie or not Sun? Sorry, Bright Moon, a couple
more things are going to happen from the baddies.
I will say that will take up both more grim and grim snarls
actions. But Backstreet is still up and
he is going to Burrow under the ground and you do not know where
he is. He shakes his little dog tissue
and starts digging. He just loves that stuff.
And then he gets under there and you don't know where he is.
That will be the baddies and that will bring us to Omelet.
You know, Omelet could probably try to go help the tree, but
almost just a little guy. What are they gonna do against?
That what tree do. Therefore, we're rolling
metronome. What is power trick?
Power trick Let's look at a baby.
We're. Learning Learning nights.
I love learning new things. The physical stored power.
Yes. So it switches your attack and
your defense so. Trick or trip, this is the
question. I'm sorry.
Yes, yeah, Trick, trick. Trick.
Yeah. So that'll yeah.
How? Don't know how to that's.
Lame, but how would that? We get a re roll.
We should we do a re roll retcon, retcon, All right,
closing our eyes, random eyes. Here I cut this out.
Blizzard, baby, we're Blizzarding.
In the sun Blizzard in the sun I.
Guess it's the the bright moonlight.
Blizzard in the bright moonlight.
OK. Yeah, OK.
Yeah. Let me find let me find a
Blizzard user and we'll roll through this.
See how much you can do you if if you can hit this looks like a
saving throw thing right? Like every, I feel like
everybody in range of it would have to make the saving throw to
see if they're. Yeah.
If they make it, I'm guessing in range of it.
You know. Yeah, you know.
You know. You know you.
Know. You know.
But there's no terms and conditions.
Blizzard. No, there's really not.
Yeah. So yeah, this will be a.
Mess being set on fire. Well, we could just set you on
fire afterwards, that's fine. Yeah, we.
Can fix this? Say what?
Quacko's gonna kill all of you, I think.
Even his son. Yeah.
Even his son, Especially his son.
My. Granny off she don't.
See it? I don't see it.
So we will base the DC off of omelet strength or decks.
So this will be it's plus doing both plus doing both.
OK, so quick maths. Let's say that's like a 14, so
not too hard. We were saying advantage to hit
on attacks. Are we imposing disadvantage on
saves? What are we thinking?
That's up to the DMI. Was originally.
Like a good old fashioned DM question.
I don't know, it's like I'm the DM or something who do do decide
with that? What the heck, let's say yeah, I
feel like it doesn't like if things are just going to hit you
more like it would make sense that that there's also saving
throws, like if you're rounded, ice is going to hit you.
It's that's just how it goes. So yeah, everybody.
So this will this will be Quacko, Mr. Grimm and the more
Grimm, we'll have to make this safe.
And if you fail by 5 or more, be careful because you'll become
frozen. What was the DC?
14. Oh God.
OK, I was going to say it's it's it's not bad.
It's pretty low. So you.
Baby. Doll eyes Baby doll eyes Baby
doll eyes. As a reaction, you may impose
disadvantage on an enemy creature after they target
yourself or an ally and before the save is rolled.
Can we flavor it? That stands.
I can tell you you can. You can definitely baby dolls.
Eyes this so this gives Quacko advantage on the save.
Does that cancel out the disadvantage?
Yes, that will cancel out the disadvantage.
OK, I'm just gonna reroll. Awesome.
And it was Dex. Yes, Dex.
Awesome, I'm broken 20. Did we do it hell?
Yeah. Yeah, yay, I forgot about.
That. On the disadvantage I had, I
rolled A5. So Oh no that.
Would have been funny. I still take damage from this.
I believe and I still take super effective from this I believe.
Yes, you will take so it would be half damage, but it will just
be straight damage for you because you are a flying type.
Yes, omelette. Go ahead and roll 66 and then
we'll add the damage bonus for that.
This is not stab, so that's probably like +4 or something.
OK. So 20 plus 4/24.
OK, so I believe yeah, we discussed it's just a straight
for Quacko because he succeeded, but he's weak to it.
So you will take 24 from omelet. Thankfully you will not be
frozen. So you're fine everything's
fine. Cool.
So the more grim and grim snarl are hit by this, they are
buffeted by this. I should have made and you know
what? In retrospect, this is in the
sun. I should have made this straight
for everybody. I don't think if you want to
take the the baby doll eyes pee pee back if you're counting
that. I think I'm going to say that
this should have just been a straight role to begin with
because of the bright moon being out to counter that gravity.
We're just having so much fun with advantage and disadvantage.
But I'm going to keep the rules I made because I think I don't
think they would have mattered either way.
Does Omelet want to do anything else?
Is going to bat their cute little baby eyes over at Quacko
and an apology for the crimes that they have committed.
I love it. All right, solely it is your
turn. Anyone want fire?
I'm sure they go no. I just thought about how fucked
up that was because if I did get frozen, you could just set me on
fire. Yeah, that's like I said, we we
could fix this creating problems.
So there is grim snarl. There is grim sleep.
Now, yes, so right now you can see Grim Snarl, who is very
tall, standing in front of the tree which is falling and more
Grim is kind of on it and he is falling with it.
What type is Grim Snarl? Dark.
Just dark and fairy and fairy OK, and no grass.
Not a grass. Inside no.
But he looks like grass in a. Way I could see he's like
Vining. You know, he looks like he's.
Like a. Tree green.
Yeah, he's like a tree man anyway.
And there's. A tree Fey.
Like a tree man like. A tree man.
Yeah, OK. Do I have anything that is like
strong against darker fairy? I don't think so.
We are just fire, dark Pulser, solar beam.
OK, so the tree, there's a more more grim on it.
He is not looking too hot. OK chat, what if I overheat the
tree and the morgrim? I'm open to it.
I mean, yeah, just let it RIP. I mean I was debating catching
the tree but I. Guess if there's nothing left to
catch, nothing to. Worry about.
I feel like the city might want the 45 foot tree to survive.
What if it does? Damage to the city.
You're going to do damage to the city by burning a 45 foot tree.
It's reality set again. You're all going to be on run
from the police. Listen, this is this is a one
shot. The points are made-up and the
rules don't matter. Wait, it's.
Not. The points are made-up.
And wait, I just said that the points are made-up.
And the rules don't matter. And the points don't matter OK
anyway. The points are made-up and the
points don't matter. What do you?
No, I said. I said the points are made-up
and the rules. Don't matter, I.
Know and then you just said the points are made-up and the
points don't matter. You still messed up.
OK, anyway, let's let's do it. Let's overheat the tree and the
morgue, all. Right.
It is ADC 15 dex save how much it is a 20 foot cone.
Tree F Let's find out. Dextrous tree.
So what was the dex save for that?
DC15DC-15 OK. So the morgue room is going to
be able to jump off of the tree onto the shoulder of Grim Snarl.
To avoid this damage, however, the tree is going to burst into
flames. Go ahead and roll super
effective damage. I guess on a tree it's because
it's grass time. There's there's a weed on in
there. There is a Pokémon on it as
another Pokémon on it as well. I forgot to mention this.
So you're aware there is also another Pokémon at the top of
No, it's yellow. Jirachi has solely ever seen
Jirachi before, probably. Not.
OK, you don't know it is it is yellow and it is star shaped.
That's really all you can see and it's quite bright.
Let me if BB can fly. Away.
If it's becoming it, if it's a little too hot, it could.
It could. I'm gonna roll to see if it
will. You just.
You just no, I didn't. I didn't kill anything yet.
OK, 5D8 plus 712. Yeah, just tell me.
Like I don't know if you're just tell me what the the straight
roll is. But I also it's hot heat
outside, so there's. It's hot heat outside as well.
OK. And is my my combustion chain
reaction, is that still happening?
Is that AI? Guess that's a Cindy thing.
OK so 23 + 7 plus my proficiency.
Maybe I'm bad at mass 232429? What's my proficiency?
Probably 5-4 or. Five.
It's probably 5, yeah. So 3435, if it's four or five,
OK, and this is overheat, this is hot hotness.
It's a 20 foot cone. So, OK, yes.
So it might not hit the top of the tree, it's a big tree, but
if the tree's on fire. On.
Fire is that doubled for that is not doubled.
That is the that is the what standard issue.
Oh, the dice is 2323 plus. The bonus then was. 7 + 4 or
five you. For playing with me, thank you.
For nothing with me. OK, the tree is in flames.
It's Christmas. It's Christmas, baby.
It's the. This will hit the Pokémon at the
top of the tree. However, he does look quite
worried and the flames are approaching him.
Is he like duty, this tree? Or something.
Duty. But it's it's just not his turn
yet. I've decided he goes on the
friend's turn, but he might, he might leave.
The tree is still falling and it is now also on fire.
However, it might burn up before it gets to the ground.
So you have that going for you, but right now it is on fire.
Cash money. As the there's little like
sparks as some of the lights that were on it start to burst
from the heat. It looks a little bit like
fireworks. That could be fun.
Yeah. Merry Christmas.
Let's let's do this. Only make a charisma check.
OK, let's do let's do a performance.
I don't know. I don't know if that matters.
He probably. I don't think it does that Is a
nine OK? Yeah, this, it's a flaming tree.
It's it's it's a little scary. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you guys are all having a great time.
Yeah, I'm a great man the whole time.
Yeah, you've been the Grinch the whole time.
OK, with that, the Grimm will turn to all of you and everybody
has to make, let's say this is everybody in front of him.
So if Quacko is still behind him, this will not include
Quacko. So this will be Trevor solely.
Omelette, Hot Dog, Rat and Rainbow Dash, the Gallery and
Rap O Dash are going to have to make a wisdom saving throw.
I will say, yeah, let's say this was this with a disadvantage
because of gravity? Disadvantage.
Yes, I'm sorry. Which that again?
Wisdom. Oh.
Damn, I did not. It would have been a AA20, but
the disadvantage makes it a 14. This is crazy.
I rolled a 19 out of 20. So.
OK, you're crazy. Mine will be What's my Wisdom
16? So you will all take some
damage, which I will roll momentarily.
You will also begin to feel sleepy.
You're not asleep right now, but you might fall asleep soon.
Oh no. You might happen.
Let me roll my damage. Sorry, everybody.
Except for cabbage. I don't know.
Did I say that? Because cabbage passed the safe.
Cabbage passed it, yes. OK.
Did more more Grim get hit with the overheat?
Was that accounted for? He jumped away, he jumped out of
the way. The only way to do this with a
net 20. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't.
It takes half damage on us. Take half damage.
Sorry, you're right. OK.
That was 20. Three on the day 4 + 7 + 4 or
five depending on the proficiency.
Maybe I forgot I was 1/2. That yeah, sorry.
He's looking. He's looking real bad.
He's looking real, real bad. Oh, good.
Yeah, no good. Good thing to check.
I forgot that some things you have to take half damage for
everybody who failed the save. Who this is neutral into that
will do 35 dark tape damage. It's it and then I'm going to do
math for the people who it is not very effective into and then
cabbage gets like 1/4 of the damage since you made the save,
how much was it? Sorry, 35.
So I believe that would be that would be slowly in Trevor would
take 35, omelet will take 22 and cabbage will take 15 as you all
this gravity that omelette was able to rot upon this field
makes you feel closer to the ground.
And there's this now, this really warm energy coming from
this tree that is now on fire, and you're feeling sleepy.
And whatever whatever dark energy burst out from the Grinch
just now has made you all a bit sleepy.
Above people. It's so funny.
I went to go get a little sweet treat.
Literally only show 3 minutes. I come back and everything's on.
Fire. Everything is on fire.
What? Can I say that's just like part
of my personality? Like it might as well happen.
Right. OK, it is now Cabbage's turn.
Cabbage will say no time for breaks and then use Missy
terrain on all of the allies if possible.
Amazing. As pink energy bursts out from
cabbage, you all no longer feel sleepy.
Good job, cabbage. Amazing.
Thank you. Cabbage.
You know, just because we're here and because I don't get to
play cabbage very often, if ever, I might as well roll in
Ancestral Fame magic. But that would probably despawn
Rapidash. But you know they've Rainbow
Dash has done their job right? Rainbow Dash was, you know.
Hanging. Why can't they stack?
Rest in peace, Rainbow Dash, because daddy issues don't
stack, yeah? It's real ancestral fame magics
don't stack right exactly unless they're copycatted.
I, I guess cuz then it's from a different user.
Yeah. Before dismissing Rainbow Dash,
Cabbage will give give him a little kiss just on the cheek,
just making sure that he knows that his efforts were
appreciated. And yeah, I have the actual D100
on my desk, so I'm gonna roll it.
Amazing, I love it. It is very like, I don't know
how to put it rolly like it has so many sides.
OK, I got a 2. Have we done a 2 before?
Have we done 2? I don't think so.
This is new. Yeah, it is new.
For the next minute, any creature that cabbage looks at
becomes invisible as long as cabbage is still looking at
them. Wait.
OK. How does cabbage look at the?
Oh no. Huh.
Wait, if you look at Quacko and Quacko becomes invisible, is
that attacking with advantage? Cuz like, they're so sneaky.
Probably up to. But then how do you continue
looking at him to keep him invisible?
Because he's invisible? Yeah, that is kind of become
invision again. Maybe.
Only won't have to. See them?
Does that only affect like people are Pokémon like you just
look at the tree and make our problem?
It's. It's just invisible and on fire.
Be invisible and on. Fire.
Yeah, it's still on fire. It doesn't stop being on fire
when it goes invisible. Also, it does it specifies
creature. Don't worry.
About it not object is looking the free action yeah absolutely
yeah we'll we'll look at Quacko and I guess we'll just head to
cannon that cabbage is able to continue looking at Quacko.
I guess, yeah, yeah, she can still sense his presence.
Of course you can't, honestly. Yeah, he's still here, I feel.
He's brimming with Christmas spirit, Yes.
Yeah, I guess that'll be my very interesting turn.
Very fun. There's been lots of fun random
things. I love it.
OK, forever. Yeah.
It's up to you. We're here.
I am trying to what do I? What do I have to deal with now?
I have to deal with this tree on fire.
I deal with the. Grim snarl.
The grim snarl is like 45 feet, right?
I would say closer to like 40 feet.
He's quite tall. Yes.
OK, did the flaming Christmas tree change his height status at
all? No, I would say it stayed about
the same. OK.
Just trying to discern how how
this happens. Weird.
Weird, yeah. He's so huge I don't think sand
tomb works on him. Because Firespit doesn't work on
Gigetta Max Pokémon, right? I could, I would say you could
still do damage with it, but like you're looking for the
effect of like knocking him prone.
That probably wouldn't work. Yeah, well.
It doesn't knock him prone. Or whatever.
What's what's the secondary effect?
It's like the trapping. It's like the Entombment effect,
yeah. Yeah, that probably wouldn't
work, but you could. You could certainly still do
damage, Yeah. But that seems bad.
Where do I get rocks? I am rocks.
What are we talking about? I am.
Rocks. I am.
Rocks, yeah, you can kind of just summon rocks.
He's 40 feet tall. OK, this does matter.
OK, so we'll start with Mountain's call and see what
happens because it's a free action.
That's ADC 18 strength save to taunt him.
To Grim. Yeah, to the Yeah, it's a grim.
DC18 Strength. He rolls a 15.
He fails. OK, so on next turn he is
compelled to attack Trevor. Perfect.
And if he does a melee attack, then or it may take no action
that isn't moving to me or attacking the user.
And then if he if he does, if he's compelled to attack, he
does some of the melee attack he suffers like recoil.
OK, so we have that that's locked in.
Cool. And I guess is this little dude
still around? The there was the the Morgram,
Yeah. Yes, Morgram looks real man.
He's, he's like covered in like soot from the fire and he's like
trying to put it out. Cool, so while he's distracted
putting it out I'm going to sand tomb him.
Cool. Kind of a trap him in place.
So sand tomb is DC19 strength save.
Oh my God, he's not going to make that, but we'll find out.
Maybe I'll finally get it rolling that one.
Fuck yeah. OK, so he's also entombed and he
takes 22 damage. OK, as the rocks and sand that
Trevor summons fall upon this Morgram, he you you lose sight
of Morgram itself, but you do see that familiar black mist as
it dissipates as Morgram is removed from the fight.
Sweet. You did amazing.
Woo Hoo. OK, I believe that's all of my
actions. I have no more bonus actions.
Amazing. All right, back to the top of
the round. I will remember to roll to see
if the moon is still up or if it is now snowing.
I will say, yeah, I think the moon, the moon is still shining
brightly as the tree is falling with fire as we return to the
top of initiative. I believe this is round 3.
So this will be the last round of gravity being in effect.
So the last round of everybody gets advantage, you get
advantage, you get advantage, everybody gets advantage as we
turn to the friends. So this now will be the star
atop the Christmas tree who is watching it being burst into
flames. He, he's going to fly away.
He's just going to lift into the air, spin around and leave.
And he is quite bright, but he's able to do this.
He, he's out here. So he, he will thankfully not
take any more damage from this as the tree continues to
combust. Let's go to Glarion.
Glarion Rapidash is gone. HDR is up.
HDR is going to try to bite this grim scarlet again.
I will roll with advantage because I can and I roll the
same thing twice so it didn't matter.
But he was still hit which is amazing.
HD Rs first hit. Aren't you so proud of him and
he will do some damage? I'm really proud of him
personally. I'm crazy at rolling the same
thing twice. I love it.
We we here. Mine is OK.
Chipping away at the grim snarl. He's going to gnaw on his ankle
like a crazy ass go HDR go he's hungry, he's hungry for justice.
He's going to say that I'm hungry for justice, and that
will be the friends turn. I forgot to mention that that
yes, the glaring Rapidash, I'll say like so when Cabbage did her
ancestral play magic, she had to kiss Rainbow Dash on the head.
So like that was the first creature that she saw.
So maybe she thought that she turned her invisible and then
turned her attention to to Quacko and then realized that
no, Glarium Rapidash actually was just gone.
And then Quacko goes invisible. Speaking of Quacko, it is now
his turn. He is invisible.
He may proceed. On a Tuesday.
Oh, I will say also, the tree is very close to being on.
The round is on fire. There are people screaming and
running away. It might hit them, it might not.
It's looking, it's looking crazy.
It's close to burning up though. It might be all you know gone by
the time it hits around. Tough to talk.
I don't think I can do shit about that.
Fair enough, I am just a duck. I'm just a duck and life is a
nightmare. Oh my God I'm drawing emo quacko
blah that's black. What?
Can I do? I'm debating on whether I should
just hit the fucker or if we should try to like generate some
holiday spirit. That's always what I'm asking,
yeah. Literally the question I'm
asking every single day of my life.
I do wake up and ask that. But how do we generate holiday
spirit? This best way to spread
Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
That's. True.
Yeah, you do remember You've heard that.
Yeah, it is true. OK, yeah, Quacko's gonna gonna
take a moment and Quacko's gonna sing, sing a song.
Beautiful. Yes, absolutely.
Give us a performance check. And what song are you singing?
Define. Gravity.
We're not define gravity though. We're enforcing it.
Just the classic Jingle Bells. OK, I will give you advantage on
this because it's a Christmasy song.
That changes things. It's Oh my God, natural 20.
Yeah, yes. I almost 7 initially so.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait. Hold on.
Hold on.
OK, Hold on. Hold on.
Hold.
On I'm holding. There you go, there's your
Jingle Bells. That was amazing.
That was perfect. I'm you get Adm inspiration for
that which I'm rolling is you get advantage on one roll of
your choice. Cool.
Christmas, even though I just gave you advantage, is fine.
Christmas is saved. I love it.
It's beautiful as from out of nowhere no one can see the
source of this mysterious quacking as it feels the air,
but everybody is comforted by its presence.
As you see, the children that have made it to safety hear this
song and begin to join in they go.
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack,
quack, quack. They're also quacking because
they have to. It's wacko.
I love it. As this happens, you watch in
front of you this massive 40 foot creature.
Mr. Grim shrinks small, becoming smaller to he's not he he's he's
probably around the size of maybe a little bit bigger than a
normal sized Grim snarl. He's probably like 5 feet tall
now. So he's smaller than he was
before you even started this fight.
This is this is really getting to him as he shrinks.
And yeah, is there anything else you'd like to do with your turn?
Just keep singing loud for all to hear.
Beautiful and that's what and that's what criticism is all is
all about and I've always said that OK always all right we've
made it to the baddies turn as the tree will finish its
descent. Let us find out if it has burnt
up and will not hurt anybody, or if anybody's gonna get hurt by
this crazy. How?
What is? What is the damage dice and the
bonus for Overheat? It is five D 8 + 7.
It's a pretty powerful. Okay, go ahead and roll 3D 8 +
7. 9 + 7 is 16. Okay, so this residual damage
from this overheat will be enough to have burnt out the top
of the tree and basically, you know, the very kind of skeletal
structure of it I get I'm gonna guess this is not really it's
the whole thing would be burnt at this point.
Pretty much the whole top of it that was falling has burnt down
and nobody will be affected by this as it would have fallen
onto perhaps people but is burnt out by solely's overheat.
However, there is no more a tree.
So that is that is the unfortunate side effect of such
an attack, but you've effectively stopped it from
hurting anybody. Cool.
What will the baddies do? They're crazy.
All right, I will start with Max Chiff, who is going to burst out
of the ground into Soli and attack her with a dig attack.
I'm going to roll to hit on that with my advantage from gravity.
Makes even more sense because he was underground.
There's a one and a three on the dive, so I don't think that's
going to hit. All right.
So he's going to attempt to, but solely jumps out of the way
deftly as Max Triff bursts from the ground, reappears on the
battlefield, unfortunately not doing any damage to solely.
Good job, solely cool. Now it is Grimstarl's turn.
Smaller, sadder, grim snarl. He has been compelled to attack
Trevor so that is just what he will do as he raises his arm and
tries to smash it down on to Trevor.
Was there any other effects of this or he just has to attack
Trevor? He has to attack Trevor.
If he does so with a bele, which he clearly is, he takes recoil
damage. OK, yeah, does an 18 hit.
An 18 does hit. OK, this is going to go crazy.
This was a hammer arm so this will do super effective damage
unless you've got something coming for me.
I can use protect. Yeah, I'm going to use Protect.
OK, protecting against the hammer arm, so there's that.
That just negates the damage from it.
It does, yes. All right.
Nicely done, Trevor. You guys are are bobbing and
weaving getting out of the way here.
He does take recoils still. OK.
From hitting that protect. I believe so because it's still
hit. Yeah, exactly.
It hits like the wall that Trevor will set up.
So how does how do I calculate that recoil?
Does it say? I think I just do the damage
back. Let me see what the number is.
31 damage back. Oh wow.
OK, cool. He's starting to look rough
around. And just before, you know, he
was chilling. He's a big dude.
He's pretty confident. He's wrecking shit up on
Christmas. But now, you know, you destroyed
his tree that he knocked over, which, you know, could go either
way, how that affects the Christmas spirit.
But, you know, Quacko has started singing.
That's disorienting him. He's he's he's feeling a little
disheartened. Yeah.
And that's the baddies that will bring us to omelette.
How's Quacko on the HP? Quacko's on the lower end of
yellow, not quite red. OK, Almonds going to use a Wish
on healer targeted range. OK, yeah, Almonds going to use
Wish on Quacko. Amazing.
Go ahead. And you roll to the healing
damage for that, yes. Four D12 + 4.
One of my D twelves was a one. That's awesome.
So 19 + 423 healing points on Quacko?
That's a good heel. That's a good heel.
Hell yeah, at least I could do. As you do this, go ahead and
roll a performance. That's a 12.
OK, I will say that is enough. As this charitable act from son
to father occurs before Graham Snarl's eyes, he begins to
shrink even further. He is now the size of a normal
gram Snarl. He is 4 feet tall ish.
I believe that's the size of a normal gram Snarl.
Sure King, we love that for him. Amazing work, you really get it
to him. Is Omelet doing anything else
with this turn? I don't think so.
At the end of this turn, I think frustrated by what just occurred
with Trevor, Grim Snarl is going to try to attack him again.
Does a 15 hit. It does not.
It does not OK. He will try to bring his hammer
down arm down upon Trevor again, but it is smaller and less
effective. He is unable to hit Trevor as
Trevor steals himself for the attack.
That will bring us to Soli. So Grim.
Grim is getting smaller. He is.
He's shrinking in size. I'm going to dark pull some.
OK. So we have advantage to hit
right now with gravity. Yep.
OK. I want to, I want to warn you,
Hun, that's very resisted. Oh, we don't have, I don't think
we have quad resists, right? It's still.
Resisted. It's still resisted, right?
Yeah, it wouldn't be as bad as in the game.
But it will. My big thing is I don't want to
like hit Quacko. I'm used to it, it's fine.
So you're you're cool with a flamethrower?
I signed the terms and conditions, yes.
OK, all right. So because overheat imposes
disadvantage on me to like on my next action, I guess it would
make the the deck save for flamethrower not disadvantaged
because of the gravity. That is true, so it's.
However, regular role. However, ribs and are all used
hammer arm and so that imposes disadvantage on his deck saves,
so it will still be a disadvantage.
Sick. OK so that is a PC-17 deck save
for flamethrower anyone in the 40 foot cone, which I'll try to
angle to not hurt my friends if at all possible, but you know.
I will say with a cone, if Quacko is behind him, you really
can't avoid hitting Quacko, but you can avoid hitting everybody
else. I believe thick he rolled a 14
so it will it will do full damage to the Grimm.
Is that a fail by 5 or more? No, no, no it's not.
What was the DC? 17.
Awesome and. You have.
Disadvantage. Or I don't know how that works
for you. Not a foe, but also I have
disadvantage to attack so it's a regular role.
For Quacko, I would say it's a regular role, yeah.
Just a regular role. OK.
And what was it again? Dex.
Yes, yeah. DC. 17 dex.
I got a nine. You're burned.
Oh no. Freeze me up.
What Burn does? Missy Terrain.
Oh, Missy Terrain, Mr. Terrain, let's.
Oh, Missy terrain, yeah. Missy drain.
Yeah. Good, yeah.
OK, cool cool cool cool cool. That is 3 D 10 + 9 ouchies.
Am I rolling that or? I am.
Totally rolled out too. 123 plus 9 is it more cuz the hot moon?
Yes, moon is still hot on. Is that your proficiency done to
the damage here? OK, so 19 + 9. 28. 28 + 4 five,
whatever my proficiency is, I probably should write that down
somewhere and it's a higher type move if that affects anybody's
anything. So 33.
Yes, I'm bad at math. I'm assuming the proficiency
modifier is five because mine is also 50.
Yes. OK.
I trust your math on that. I didn't.
I don't feel like doing it myself.
Yeah, OK, amazing. As solely bursts forth this
thrower of flame doing damage to both.
Unfortunately, her friend Quacko, who signed the terms and
conditions, so he's, you know, still doing all right, but it
will do some damage to Grim Snarl, who is looking pretty,
pretty burnt and beat up. Yes, this was in the video game.
Quacko would be going Dee Doo Dee Doo Dee Doo.
Oh no. OK.
Is that all for solely? E.
Gotcha. Brings us to cabbage.
Cabbage is feeling rather inspired by Quacko's performance
and will continue spreading holiday cheer by also singing
this song. Amazing.
Give me a performance. OK, 18.
Amazing, wonderful job. Yeah, this adding on to the
invisible. Are you still looking at Quacko?
We'll say that just getting really into the moment in the
performance of it, Cabbage will close her eyes and say, OK,
Little Drummer Boy, one of the most spiritual Christmas songs
that exist. Everybody wants to be a little
drummer boy, and I've always said that.
Yeah, yeah. Cool.
So in closing her eyes and revealing the source of the
original Christmas magic of the song Jingle Bells from Quacko,
this will also add on to the amazingness of Cabbage's
performance as everyone watches sing along.
And cabbage has adjusted the tempo and the key, so it's like
kind of a mashup, like it's both happening at the same time and
it sounds sick. Beautiful.
I love it. We'll also get that
commissioned. I'm just kidding.
I don't know if we've got time for that Beautiful people are
are still going to join in even more.
This is spreading throughout model city.
It's no longer just the people concentrated in the square, but
they're they're fighting back in terms of Christmas spirit
against these little imbish creatures who across the city
are starting to burst into that black miss and disappear from
view. And it is going to start to
affect Grim snarl once more as he becomes even smaller.
He's a little guy now. He's like 3 feet tall.
And he goes, he's, he's, he's getting really angry.
And he goes because his voice is higher now, because he's
smaller. Yeah.
Is Cabbage going to do anything else with her turn?
No, I think that'll be it. Trevor, it is up to you once
again. My God, iconic line.
What can I say here? Hey little mane, don't you knows
about the Christmas spirit? You got to be better about this.
You can't just be all angry all the time.
I'm going to rock on you now. And then I step on him.
That's awesome. Is that a roll to hit on that?
Sorry, what are you doing? Yeah, I'm just gonna stomp on
him. OK, he is still like 3 feet
tall. Yeah.
How big are you? How?
Big is cake a lift? OK, you can step on him.
I'll say this is like an improvised attack.
How do we do improvised attacks like your let's add like your
strength to hit? I crip.
OK, amazing. What?
What are your attacks? What do you have?
Rockslide sand tomb. That's it actually.
Everything else. I'll really pack.
That I could say I could. I could see sand tomb critical
hit damage for this. OK, so.
We just to make it easy, use something we've already got.
Or no, no, it's not double the dices.
I forget we we just add the we add the actual base of it right
Like this? Yes, if it was that Max OK.
Yeah, yeah, full damage. And then you roll.
Amazing. You all watch as Trevor just
stomps on this dude and does a very powerful chunk of damage to
little Grim Snarl as he gets stepped on by this rocky
monolithic creature. Grim Snarl goes as he takes this
damage and as Trevor backs away from this, the Grim Snarl will
turn to all of you and he looks like he is about to give up.
He is very discern by everything and he will kind of start to you
know, like the kind of bowing apology, like the surrender.
He's using false surrender, that's what I'm saying.
So he will start to look as if he is surrendering, but with
this he will lash out in one final attack against Trevor,
which I will. Follow me, baby.
To baby doll eyes. Okay, So what is baby doll eyes
do again imposes advantage on the attack basically.
So this is we're still in the last turn of gravity.
So this will just be a straight roll then.
So let me roll. Can you can you guys guess what
I rolled A3? A three, yeah.
As this was will fail to attack Trevor in his final moments,
grim snarl will be like. You got me.
I'll I'll pitch that up a little bit and starts to surrender.
That's pretty. Good.
I love it. I'm glad that was picked up.
And then as he falls to the ground, failing that swipe, he
will dissipate into that darkness, since, yes, your
presence. That's all I'm like cares about.
Is still there. You all all be you're all
initiatives over is what I'm trying to say.
The threat has been neutralized. Would you all like to kill?
Him. From what you can tell, he he
has been the again. The threat has been neutralized.
He's gone. You basically killed Santa.
Good job. You did it.
Congratulations. Better luck next year guys.
Better luck next year as people celebrate and cheer the death of
Santa. Well, not really Santa.
Of course, it was Carol who was trying to steal the spirit of
Christmas. But you were all able to defeat
him with the power of friendship and the holiday spirit and
helping each other and singing along.
And you're able to to get rid of him and recover the giant bundle
of presents that he had stolen and the decorations and
everything within. I will go ahead and speed up and
say that you are all able to distribute decorations and
presents to everybody in Marvel that he he has stolen from,
including most importantly hot dog Rat who will receive his hot
dog once again, which has gotten a little squished from being in
the big bag of presents, but he's OK with it.
He does Dog is a hat dog and he just chows down on it as one
does and then parts ways with you as you head back to the
Berry farm with all of your presents in tow.
When you return to the Berry farm, your trainers have finally
realized that you are missing and are concernedly awaiting
your return, but are happy to see that you have returned with
the decorations and presents and everything.
As this reunion happens, there is one final thing I would like
for all of us to do, which is I would love if we could all go
around and everybody describe at least one present that either
your trainer got for your Pokémon, your trainer got for
another trainer, your Pokémon got for another Pokémon, your
Pokémon got for your trainer anything from either you or the
Pokémon or your trainer got for somebody.
A gift for the holidays. It's very fun.
If you have multiple ideas, you can share multiple ideas, but
I'd like at least one from everybody if that's possible.
I have one right off the bat, if I may, yeah, Cabbage will give a
foot like shoe box size box to solely and say, you know, I'm
really proud of all the work you put in today.
And then I got these for you and thought that it might help when
you're on terrain that you don't like or, you know, when you're
walking on the snow just to keep your feets warm.
And it's it's little boots, it's little booties for a fox.
And they're they're red and fiery looking and solely can
wear them on your feet. That's amazing.
I love it. That's so cute.
Just solely put these on right away.
Immediately yes, and then walks around like when you put boots
on dogs like they can't. Walk.
They just shake their feet. They're like stomping around.
Like they take like the big steps like I like.
That rules. Amazing.
Gimli got Trevor a Christmas hat 'cause he always wants 1.
So now he has to. He already has, so he's like.
I love it. Does he wear both?
Yeah, he puts one on like he has all the stalactites, so he just
puts on a different one. He needs a hat collection.
Yes, that's beautiful. Just like Gimli has his women
want me Carvana fiermy hat. They can get matching hats
maybe. That's beautiful.
Quacko will give Omelette their very own weak sword.
Omelette is gonna cry. Got.
Trevor only cried. That yeah, it's brat winter but
also sad boy winter Omelet also got Trevor the hot chocolate
that he missed when he was eating.
Hey, I'm gonna cry on me. This might be a little out there
but if Soley had the time they slowly would have tried to make
everybody like little glass figures like glassblowing things
with like all the all the hot heat fiery business and made
like little figures of just like random like Pokémon and stuff
for everybody. I love that.
That's so cute. That's so.
Nice. Very cute.
Everybody has adorable little figurines, artisan crafts.
Does anybody else have any other presents they would like to give
before we close this out are. We all good Schmidt's going to
give Quacko a real sword. Oh.
Is. Schmidt can't give the game.
A gun. Yeah, sure.
Oh yeah. I'm.
Worth because season of giving. You have a.
Leaks. Or the end of the gun.
Stay strapped or get clapped. And I've always thought that.
And remember, everyone, this holiday season stays.
You will all hear the jingling of sleigh bells and maybe
Omelette hears this 1st and runs to the window as everyone
follows and looks up and sees a sleigh flying through the air
led by 8 antler Pokémon who are flying as a red bird like
Pokémon. It's in the sleigh and he laughs
and cries out into the night. Dolly bird, Dolly bird.
Dolly bird. Dolly Bird.
I thought we killed that fucker. Said that, damn it.
Always. Said we.
Killed that fucker. No, this is this is the repeal
deli bird. He he is spreading actual
Christmas cheek. Yeah.
And I have one final thing to say.
If we shadows have offended think but this and all is mended
that you have but slumbered here while these visions did appear.
And this week, an idol theme. No more yielding, but a dream.
Hello and thank you so much for listening to the second ever
done Sparse and Grandpa Holiday Special DM D by none other than
Grace, once again featuring Kira as a player.
Passing the DM torch around the table has been so much fun to
experience and we hope that you all enjoy it too.
All of us here hope that you've been having a wonderful holiday
season with your loved ones, and we're looking forward to
finishing off the main campaign with Bane in 2025.
Sorry. Christmas colors.
I I server muted you because there's some sort of like roar
coming from your mic, like a washing machine or something or
a refrigerator, I don't know. I have none of that going.
OK, Air conditioner fan. Yeah, maybe it's gone now, but
for a moment it was kind of loud.
You're chill. Weird.
I'm sorry. It's OK.
Might have just been the horrors.
You never know it. Could have been the horrors of
of no presents on Christmas. Yeah, OK.
Like struggling. Because it was an 18 on the No,
it wasn't. Never mind, never mind, never
mind. No mind, no mind.
Cut that out, Cara, cut that out.
Got it. She's here.
She's now. I'm just rolling damage now.
I'm just rolling damage. Which is something I will drop
in voice chat. Can I is?
That what naked grim star looks like.
Is that real? That's that's the muffin man.
That's that's the man. That's my sleep paralysis.
That's the Jersey Devil, dude. That's the.
Jersey Devil guys don't put the jersey.
Devil dirty like that. Someone's going to put quarters
in his butt cheek. No, God no.
That's the plaque I. Was doing back there.
What the fuck? So that's the noise that the
clerk hears. I'll say he probably has a
little Pokémon companion. Let me let me roll to see what
his Pokémon companion is. Real quick.
Hold on. We'll make it just a random guy.
Hold on. Xerneas if.
I if I roll a legendary and it's a legendary, you know what I
would have? I would have re rolled but.
So. You find yourself at this store.
Oh my God, 23 dark type damage which I believe you will resist
so you can have that too. I resist.
Do you does do fighting types? No, you're not fighting.
Why am I think you're a Glarion? I don't know, because I'm crazy.
Never mind, it's straight. You get 23 damage.
Wait. I forgot you're not a fight any
type. I don't know why I was like,
you're clearly Glarion. It's been the same quacko for
four years. It's been the same Quacko for
three years. I just never knew him.
Yeah, OK, I have the. Minus. 23.
A dexterous tree. Listen the wiggles tree of
wisdom though. Hi dex tree.
I don't know what that is, but I believe you.
OK we have a friend with a baby so I have an excuse for being on
like wiggle TikTok but OK wiggle he's not here making thirst
traps anyway. I'll just taunt him.
That's true. Let me double check.
That's a bonus. What?
You can taunt, sorry. I can't, oh, I can taunt.
I thought you said a kid. And I'm like what?
New DM, new rules. I was like no more.
Like a taunt. I hate taunting.
If it doesn't do damage, you can't do it right out.
Hey, Richie. Yes.
I'd sent you Adm, could you look at it real quick?

Quack on my dash anywhere within melee range up to a chosen
target up to 80 feet. OK, I'll ignoring tax
opportunity. OK, I'll let Grace make that
decision. It is like flying type moves and
gravity just cancel flying type moves.
It doesn't just. I wonder what the name of the
move is in Japanese because. It's Godbird.
Oh, that's sick. That's.
Raw as fuck. Oh.
My God, can I change that? Fucking joke.
Can I change the name of my sheep to Godbird?
Yeah, you can do that. That's so sick.
