I'm going to look for a key. In this room.
Yes. Any like anything particular
just like sitting around you think it might be just just
general looking is what you're doing.
Like inside the instruments. Inside the Instruments.
Interesting. Roll Me Investigation 1515.
Yeah. Audi looks around at the
instruments, trying to see if there's any sign that there
might be a key in one of them. She doesn't seem to find a key.
What she does seem to find, curiously, is that in acoustic
instruments that have like Sonic holes for sound to resonate,
like a violin or an acoustic guitar, she notices that there
are little pieces of fluff inside of those holes, and she
also identifies a handful of instruments that have a red
stain on them. There are four of them. 1 is a
violin, 2 is a banjo, 3 is a kick drum, just the bass drum,
and the 4th is an upright string bass.
LD does not find a key, but this is what she finds.
I think we should play the four instruments.
I was just. Stained red.
I wish we have to. Let's get the band together,
guys. All right, which one am I
playing? I kind of feel like banjo is
like your vibe. Oh well, OK.
Or the kick drum. Either is good.
Yeah, I think I'm leaning more towards the drum.
I think the giant upright bass and the tiny Cindy would be a
great contrast. I would I agree doing it.
I think Schmidt has banjo vibes. Yeah, he's a banjo picking girl.
He's a ban, yeah. I go by on violin.
OK, give me just everyone roll AD 20 and tell me what it is.
15. 16. Where did my mouse go?
Where? Did it go my role like I have
not rolled a higher than a 10? I got a natural too.
Hell yeah, I. Band deals are.
Hard they are, dude. They're crazy.
They are. Canonically, yeah.
Separate bass is bigger than me. That's true.
Everyone jams. I don't know how good a
musicians they are necessarily. They, they do they, they make
some sounds as Gimli kicks the bass pedal and as who's playing
the violin, Ality. And as Ality and I guess
everyone except for Schmidt. Every instrument that has some
sort of porous hole in it as they play, it starts spewing out
fluff. Just fluff.
Just fluffy white material that seems to be similar to like down
or cotton or something spews out of the instruments they play and
it makes it harder to play and it's doesn't sound very good,
but there's some notes that come through and above them on the
ceiling they hear the sound of shuffling person footsteps that
seems to be moving in rhythm with what they are playing.
I don't think, I don't think we're alone in this, in this
house, guys. No way.
I already told you about the goblin, no?
No, no. That is, that is true.
I heard a woman's voice in the office.
Oh. And you're telling us this now?
Yeah, we're the kind of like in the next room.
Hey, it was just a voice though. Just casually, like, just a
voice that we haven't seen. Yet were they chill?
Was it? Joseph Yeah.
How chill were they? It was a female voice.
Could still be Joseph. Yeah, they said the same word
like 15 times and I can't remember what word it was.
Is this being said out loud to your party?
Yes, but also IRL. I forget which word it was.
OK, that's fine. The haunting spirit continues to
judge the words that exit Cindy's mouth and she feels a a
shock through her body and she receives 2 HP of damage.
Guys, I'm gonna die. Cindy dies from dumb.
What do you mean you're gonna die?
My HP is dropping man. Because that's something we can
visually see. What's that?
What does? HP we're like Cindy.
What does HP mean? Yeah, we're literally people.
What are you talking about? My head hurts.
What do you mean what's happening?
A. Ghost is judging me.
Are these the next two things that Cindy says out loud?
My head hurts. This ghost is judging me.
Yeah. He takes an additional two hit
points of damage, say. Something nice about the ghost.
Hey friend. Nothing happens.
Great, this is fantastic. That said out loud.
Nope. OK.
So what do we do with all this down call?
It's true a bunch has been spewed out, particularly out of
the bass room was kicking it. There's just a whole bunch of
fluff in the room, just all over the floor.
It kind of blows around the house is kind of naturally
drafty. Schmidt continues to see a
little pink goblin. It was dancing to the music you
guys were making, and then it stopped dancing.
Now it's just looking directly at Schmidt.
Can I inspect the fluff? Sure.
What is your like? What are you trying to learn
about it? Figure out what it is, I'll
sniff it. Yeah, sniff it, give it a, give
it a whiff. Give it all.
Am I rolling an investigation? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Boy, 24. 24 Jeez. Ellie gives it a sniff.
And there's an element to it that is like, weirdly familiar
to her. She is able to identify that it
is it is closer related to a product of like a plant than it
is like an animal. It isn't distinctly or I guess a
Pokémon. It isn't distinctly one way or
the other, but it is. Let's say it's closer to cotton
than it is to down. How's that?
Interesting. And still hear the sounds of
heat shuffling the room above this one.
Anything else you want to do with the items in this room?
The mirror, the safe, the instruments.
I think we should inspect this mirror OK.
Probably. What's your goal with it?
What are you trying? To do it was you said it was
facing outside, right? Correct.
So there's a window. There is a window, yeah.
Does like the reflection match what's outside?
Role perception. Oh baby, that's a natural 20.
Hell yeah, that's pretty Dang good.
The answer is no it does not match Ellie.
You can see outside the window and it seems like way worse than
when she came in. It looks like the route outside
that they were on before but it's like super gross and looks
like it's starting to rain. She looks at the mirror to look
outside and out in the yard she sees 3 headstones outside and a
shadowed figure standing in front of them and a circular
figure shrouded in shadow at their side looking inside.
It's. Popping scary can I wave through
the window are. You waving at the window or at
the mirror? At the.
Mirror. Sorry.
Yeah, you can. You can do that.
You you do that and there's no reaction from the figures
outside. Can I see the names on the
headstones? Give me an investigation check.
It's kind of tough. It'd be tough to make out.
Oh, let's go. That's 23.
LED focuses really hard and squints at the mirror to try and
see what the names are. And there are three names on the
headstones. 1 is Desiree, the other one says Cindy.
The third one says LED Holy. Shit.
Oh no, Joseph's got like a vendetta against women.
Oh my God, tweet it out now Cancel Joseph.
I'm. Starting to think, Joseph.
Joseph is over party. Yeah, he might not be that chill
if he's a misogynist. I'm sending the tweet right now
dawg. I can excuse murder, but I draw
the line at misogyny A. Misogynist, that's all.
I am not going to say anything about these headstones.
I can see that to myself. Make wisdom safe.
OK. I'm scared.
I am anxiously. I rolled a fire.
Hell yeah you did. After Elodie looks at the
headstones and realizes what they say she hears in her head.
Where did he go? Where did he go?
That's all she hears. What's next for the Quacko
Packo? We want to go investigate the
friendly footsteps upstairs. The friendly.
The I mean they they haven't been mean the footsteps they
were scamming out that. They're friendly.
They were literally. Footsteps.
They were dancing to our music. They must be friendly.
Would a misogynist dance to our music?
Like, come on. Again, that's why they're
they're friendly. Everyone knows misogynists don't
dance. Does does Cindy say, do we want
to investigate the friendly footsteps upstairs out loud?
Yes. OK, that's fine.
She is fine for now. I thought that was a very nice
thing. That's right.
It was very nice. Well.
What does the party want to do, Cindy?
Cindy gets the impression that like whatever spooky spirit is
haunting her is like anticipating the next thing that
she wants to say. What?
Cindy feels like that the spooky spirit that is haunting her
heard Cindy say something and is anticipating whatever the next
thing is that Cindy's going to say.
OK, cool. You don't have to say anything.
I'm just letting, I'm letting you know.
That's the vibe. They're listening to me.
Correct. Cool.
Where is the party going? Are they staying in here, doing
more research? Are they investigating upstairs?
I. Think we're running upstairs?
Yeah. Who is leading?
The brave Gimli. We didn't check in with Elody.
Hey Elody, how you doing? Great.
I don't think there's anything that we have to worry about.
Nothing. There's nothing here.
You didn't see anything? No, Nope, all good.
See Sam outside of the window looking out the window.
Do you look via mirror or through the window?
Through the window. You do not.
The streets that you came in on is barren.
There is no activity whatsoever. What if we look through the?
Mirror. Does it look for Sam?
Yeah. You do not.
OK, I was bracing myself for a pull aside.
Not going to lie. Yeah, you.
See Sam and she's like dead. Yeah, be so funny.
Wow, I'm sorry. I'm so.
Tired. Wow, so crazy.
You're fine. Yeah, let's let's go upstairs,
huh? Let's.
Go upstairs. Yeah, Gimli is leading correct.
Absolutely. OK.
Gimli steps up the stairs and they're very creaky.
Old creaky ass wooden floorboards.
And as one would expect with any classic cartoon, Haunted
Mansion. His foot slips through the 7th
stair. He needs to make a Dexterity
check. Classic 7th stair. 13. 13 That's
good enough to save he bandits to reach out his hand on a
handrail and catches himself from falling through, but that
step is a no go. Asus puts his hand on the hand
rail. He notices it is wet.
I was gonna make a joke about watching you step, but this
rail's gross. Just.
Cool. Oh cool.
Besides that, if everyone's able to dodge the broken stair,
everyone's able to ascend perfectly fine.
Does everyone arrive at the top? Yes.
Nothing to check. Yep.
Yeah, yeah. At the top, they are faced with
a corridor with three doors. To the left, there's a door.
It seems like kind of like different in the doors it seems
kind of metallic and white and Chrome.
It's just slightly different. To the right they see a door.
It's the same kind of wooden mahogany style that the rest of
the mansion has. And in front of them there is a
double door with no handles and there is writing in red.
Above the door it says 4 iron soles falling in unison.
Any who Where's the party going? Which door is the left most
door? That's the white Chromish 1.
That's the one. OK, good adventures go loved.
As they say, everyone enters. Everyone.
Enters. Yep.
As you enter, it's very, very, very dark and the floor is
Chrome. And in front of you you can see
like the front of a table that is like shiny.
It's like made of metal or something, but it is like
impossibly, impossibly dark in here as everyone enters.
Is everyone comfortably entered at the moment?
That's a funny question to ask, but everyone's in the room,
correct? Yep.
OK. As they do so, the door slams
shut and the lights turn on. They're all nice and bright.
This is clearly a kitchen. There's a bunch of stuff laid
out on a counter in front of them on a metal table.
There's a sink that is present. There's a bunch of cabinets.
There's a refrigerator. There's a trash can.
They are in a kitchen and they can hear an egg timer start to
tick. Remembers the trick house just
Is it an? Egg timer Or is it an eggs acute
timer? It's an execute timer.
Thank you for the flavor. Oh, flavor in the kitchen.
Very delicious. OK.
Yum Yum. Yum yummy.
Oh no. What does the Does the egg timer
have time? Like what time is left?
It is ticking down from 5 minutes.
It's currently around 4:20. Lit lit bro.
It's like Joseph one deal, am I right?
Nice massages. All right, have you you guys
ever heard of a band called Rise Against?
Yeah. Yeah, the time the timer's
taken, bro. In in in 2013, 2014, they had
the single got a lot of radio play.
It's called I Don't want to be Here Anymore.
Yeah, yeah, I'm feeling that right now.
OK, that's that's the vibe. OK, tell me about this kitchen.
There's a counter, there's a bunch of items strewn about it,
there's a couple of cooking supplies and a bunch of
ingredients, and there's a piece of paper on the counter.
Oh. Read the paper.
Read the paper.
The paper is how do I put it lightly?
It's covered in blood. There's not a whole lot that
you, you, you can't make out everything perfectly, but there
are words. It is clearly a recipe.
A recipe. That's what the show was saying
downstairs. True.
I would definitely not know anything about that, though.
All right, we got to we got to get we got to make this shit
right now. I think we have to I'll.
Just help you out. There's a series of items on the
counter that's there. Throw it all in the pot.
No. No.
How about we let the Baker do the Baker thing?
It's. Not it's going to hurt me.
Let's do this. Let's make this thing.
We got to get the sugar and the corn syrup and the water and the
salt in a pot. In a large pot.
In a large pot, Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Putting that in the pot, putting it on the stove, putting it on.
The medium heat. The stove.
Is not. Functioning the stove does not
work. Solely.
So we need your help. So, Lee, can you provide medium
heat? Roll AD 20 and you're shooting
for something in the middle. An 8.
An 8 that's pretty good. It's not quite medium high, but
is it might just take a little bit longer, but it's going
you're you're what the what is your?
Objective with these ingredients.
We've got to heat it until it the gets to 320°, so you got to
get the thermometer in there. OK.
You place the thermometer in there and currently it is at 170
and is slowly rising. OK, I'm going to stir it great
as this is happening. It helps distribute the heat.
It is closer. It's like 250.
OK. It is now at 3:20.
What is next? OK.
We're going to transfer this into the bowl.
OK. Large heat safe bowl.
LED does that. OK, now we have to spin
something. Uh huh.
Cabbage. Yeah, for sure.
Cabbage spin. OK, cabbage spins, it's great.
Does not help you make the food, but.
What if we put cabbage in the bowl, then spin the bowl?
Do you? Do you wish to do that?
Yes, we'll do that. OK, yeah, Schmidt puts cabbage
in the bowl. The The sugar mixture that's in
the bowl is incredibly hot and it burns cabbage, dealing eight
points of burn damage. Oh shit, I'm sorry.
Why? Yeah.
Why was that a good idea? I don't.
Think cabbage. Hold the bowl and thin.
Cabbage can heal, right? I'm.
Sorry, Cabbage is gonna take a break right now.
Give Cabbage. Back to yeah, Ality.
Cabbage is a little upset with Schmidt, I feel like.
OK, Schmidt is very sorry. OK, we got a hot mixture of
sugar in a bowl. We're going to mix spin it with
the whisk. Oh nice.
And then? As you do that, the egg timer
goes off and the lights turn off and you hear the scream of a
woman. Everyone, every person in this
room must make a wisdom safe. I got a 12.
OK. I crit.
Nice. I did the opposite of that.
I got a natural one. 15 OK, everyone is spooked.
They're like oh gosh that's super scary and it totally just
chatters Schmidt. He is not feeling great.
Schmidt has been inflicted with some sort of ailment but he
doesn't know not know what it is.
The lights turned back on and the egg timer resets itself.
Please continue. And then we're going to take the
whisk with the sugar mixer mixture and drizzle it, the
strands of it over the parchment paper.
OK, you do that. Roll me like a LED performance
cooking check to see how quickly you can do it.
Got you. I dropped my dice in the middle
of you saying that. Oh, I'm really so well today.
Actually, I believe 26. 26 Yeah, that's excellent.
Let's go, LED. Everyone sees this.
LED takes the sugar mixture on the whisk and whisks it around
and flings it in the air onto the parchment paper.
The food coloring that's been used, it makes it a kind of a
light green color, just barely. It's got mostly white.
And as it hit the parchment paper and cools out, it starts
to, like, fluff up and it bundles together.
LED does this for, you know, another couple minutes or so.
And at the end he's made some spools of cotton candy and the
egg timer stops. We made cotton candy.
See this is what I was thinking is I was wondering if the fluff
in the room downstairs was cotton candy so that this only
confirms my theory. OK, but why did we need to make
cotton candy when the instruments downstairs can just
produce cotton? Candy.
I'm going to try some of the cotton candy.
OK, it's great. It feels almost replenishing
actually. It feels like maybe if you
experience some sort of pain it might help you.
I'm going to give. Something to eat, some of that.
OK, yeah, it's profoundly good. It's very sweet.
It's homemade fresh cotton candy that LED rolled a 26 on.
So it's it's good. And whoever eats it has their HP
fully restored. Schmidt sees a little pink
goblin trying to jump up on the table to get some cotton candy.
I'm not going to stop him. OK, he can't reach he's.
Not there. I'm going to pretend he doesn't
exist. Great.
He doesn't get any. You just see him jumping, you
know? I'm like meh, he just can't get
it. Very sad.
Now I kind of feel sad. Yeah, it's fine.
You don't have to. Yeah, I'll, I'll get a, I'll get
a piece of cotton candy. OK?
My club's not WAR. You, you do that.
He's very excited and very grateful, and he puts out his
three fingered fist in the air towards you.
High 5 High. Five check.
Am I rolling for a high 5? Yeah, sure.
I. Haven't rolled for one of these
since I kept SO too. Yeah, of course this is the one
I fucking crit. Oh yeah, you crit it great, you
high 5, this little guy, and he explodes with a grin into like a
giant pile of confetti. Cool, since I create it can I
get 3 coins out of it like Mario party?
Yeah, absolutely awesome. 3 little gold coins.
Ding, Ding, Ding, fall on the ground.
Hell yeah, we're rich guys. Let's go ball it out.
They're actually chocolate coins.
Shit. OK, moving on.
Great. It's it's moo moo milk
chocolate. Oh damn.
OK, moving on. Moving on.
Yeah.
OK. There's two rooms you haven't
investigated. There's the one with the ominous
message above the door, and there is one directly across the
way where you heard the sound of footsteps.
Do you want footsteps or ominous guys?
Let's. Go with footsteps first.
Yeah, I was feeling footsteps, kind.
Of agree, yeah, for sure. OK, who's opening the store?
Gimli. Gimli leading the charge.
Love it as always. Gimli opens the store and is
immediately barraged with a flash of light.
There was a camera that was set to trigger when the door opens.
It seems like a cool, slightly old kind of Polaroid camera, and
it seems like it's captured a photo of the party but hasn't
developed yet. Yo sick, I don't think we have
any pictures together guys. Souvenir haunted house souvenir
photo. I love it.
You guys made it to the end. Congratulations.
And after his eyes kind of returned back to normal, he sees
that he is in an old abandoned living room.
Beyond the camera. He sees that there is a
fireplace and a Mantel. There is kind of a sofa
arrangement. There is ATV that is currently
just blaring static outside the window.
He sees that is in fact raining heavy and there's the sound of
Thunder claps outside. The TV looks like it's like
tuned to like a satellite or something because it's really
close to producing a picture, but it's just not quite there.
Time to tinker. If you wish, I thought we'd do
the opposite, Turn the TV off. I kind of want to see hopefully.
I've seen movies where little girls crawl out of TV's and no
thank you. But I'm also thinking that if
it's a haunted TV, it's just going to turn itself back.
On listen if it's if the ring. We have wrote.
On TV, show it to more people. Right, you wrote on.
TV, worst case, you just, it's, it's a chain letter.
You just send it to somebody else and it's their problem.
I'll just punch the person crawling out of the TV.
I'm going. To true signature.
Schmake. I've seen scary movie like we
just fight her. I think, I think the four of us
would take a little girl for sure.
I want to go bang on the TV just like hit it like a dad would to
try to fix it. Percussive.
Maintenance. Yeah, percussive maintenance,
right? Yeah, roll roll AD 20.
Not strength, just a just AD 20. 10. 10 That's pretty good for
the situation where you don't necessarily want to break it
necessarily. I don't know.
I don't know what game is going for, but that's pretty good.
He hits it a little bit and the image starts to become clearer.
It shows a movie that is of a genre that was popular in Unova
about 30 or 40 years ago. You can't make it out super
clear but you can tell like the deserty kind of background that
really sets the scene here. There's 2 male figures wearing
cowboy hats and they have lassos and one trainer has like a funny
looking yellow lizard standing next to him.
The other one has like a tiny little round monkey red feature
and they're clearly speaking, but it just kind of sounds like
and it's like looping. There's one scene and it's just
looping. This is like the antenna or
something. That's is it.
There's an antenna on. It's like an old tube TV.
Something, something's hurting the reception somehow.
Can I look behind and look at the cables?
Sure. See if something is awry.
Yeah, you can tell that the cables aren't managed
particularly well. A lot of them stretch much
longer than they need to be and they're just kind of cold up
back there. And there is like a little
antenna that's sticking up through the back of the TV.
OK, I've wiggled the antenna. Wiggled the antenna, it seems to
improve the picture a little bit.
You start to get clearer colors but the audio still not great.
Wiggle it some more. OK, it seems like the wiggling
is no particular effect. I've wiggled it all I can, guys.
Well, now that you wiggled it, I'll hit it again.
Yeah, roll me, roll me the hit. 7.
Seven. That's pretty good.
I think cumulatively that gives you 17, right?
So that's pretty solid without breaking it.
Sure. Gidley taps it a little bit more
gently this time, and it falls off the wall.
It falls onto the ground in front of the fireplace, but it
is still functioning. Because the cables are so
ridiculously long, the color becomes perfectly clear.
It is one of those Unovan Western films, 2 Cowboys facing
each other and one of them looks very morose and upset, and the
other one seems to be consoling the other one, the one who is
speaking on the left, he says let me tell you, it's the
strangest thing. Suddenly as that strange cowboy
got here, he vanished, just disappeared.
Let me tell you, it's the strangest thing.
Suddenly, as that strange cowboy got here, he vanished, just
disappeared and just loops over and over.
Well, let's cut over the way what what it means.
Yeah, what's the rest of the movie?
Yeah, I kind of, I kind of won't see this.
Yeah, what? The heck?
Is there anything else around the room?
It's a, it's a living room. There is a cabinet in there that
is full of fancy cook or like flatware, like like a China
cabinet. Basically.
It looks real. It looks real dusty in there.
There's a, there's a small table.
It looks like maybe whoever was living here hadn't quite figured
out where they put their dining room, but it was in here for now
because you know, the T VS in here and it's near the kitchen.
It just kind of made sense. There's two chairs at it.
There's a window that faces outside.
Anything else anyone wants to check out in here?
Nah. Are we taking the photo?
Are we looking at the photo? We do anything with the photo.
Yeah, is the photo developed the photo?
Is developed. You want you take a look at it.
Yeah. It's a great kind of jump scare
photo of Gimli and Schmidt. Woah.
Memories. Cindy and Elodie were in camera
shot, but they're not in the picture.
Classic Joseph misogyny. Moment Joseph.
Misogyny again. God.
Cindy's seem to be pretty quiet. I wonder why it's.
Almost seems like every time Cindy says something she takes
psychic damage or head hurting damage.
Yeah, that's fair. Wonder what the conditions are
That's so weird. I guess you got to keep talking
just to try to figure out what causes it and what doesn't.
It's not necessary. But you know it is necessary
checking out that other door. The final.
Yeah. The final room.
Final final room. Final room.
Great. Again, there's no handles on
these doors and there is a message above the doors, 4 souls
falling in unison. What it says?
So we all got to fall on unison. Everybody fall to the floor at
once. OK, 321.
Plunk. Plunk.
Everyone plunks a successful plunk.
It echoes at the house and you can hear the sound of small
Pokémon quadruped feet patterning on the ground, and
the door creaks open very spookily.
It's like that. It appears that this is the
master bedroom. There are a number of things to
see in here. There's a grand bed.
It has one of those like frames that's like over the top.
It has a covering like something you'd see a Princess in kind of,
you know, But it's very formal, very, very nice.
It looks, it seems very, very quaint.
The sheets are done. They're tucked in quite well,
and there's a circular indentation right in the middle.
There's a little bit of hair on it.
There is a box in the corner that has some language on it,
the describing a product of some sort.
And towards the closet, there's a stand that has a white dress
on it. There a right by the what
eastern eastern facing window. There is an easel and there's a
paint set and there's a there's a sketchbook on the paint set.
There is lots and lots of fluff. There's little bits of fluff all
over the ground, all over the place and on the bed next to the
circular indentation there's like a little music composition
notebook. What does the party do?
I. Guess Cindy's been into books,
so let's look at this notebook. Is the the goblin friend still
following us? Have you seen him?
You haven't seen him since you gave him that epic I5.
OK, can I, Can I hear Kitty? Kitty the Goblin.
Sure. Is that what you say here, Kitty
Kitty. Yeah.
OK, yeah, there's a little explosion of pink confetti and
there's like a little like, Artuni fanfare that goes, and
the little pink oven shows up in front of the bed.
Again, no one else sees this. Yeah, look at all this cotton
candy, bro. You could eat this.
Is that a suggestion? Yeah.
He looks at it and he puts it in his mouth and he smiles, and
then he goes and he spits it out and he shakes his.
Head, OH. Sorry buddy, perhaps it was not
confetti as I suspect, or cotton candy.
Last I heard, Cindy was trying to pick up this book, right?
Yes. She opens it and she sees some
text. You are welcome to read it if
you like. Oh goodness, should I read it
out loud? Yeah.
Oh goodness, is it a song. Baby sing it.
I don't even know what tune. Pop goes the weasel.
Nope, it's been a year since we should have been wed if not for
my fiance by the demon misled. I'm gonna interrupt.
You sorry I'm. Gonna interrupt you and when you
finished the word and you said misled, you had the feeling that
you're haunting has given you approval.
You may continue ahead. I'm allowed to read this guys,
if not for my fancy by the demon misled.
He took my love away to another place or time.
Ever since, I've been haunted or out of my mind.
I've watched my sanity and condition get worse.
That's why I have chosen to burden this curse, cast a
banishment on the demon. I did into the grand mirror.
His soul has been hid. Unfortunately, he will not be
contained forever. Soon the magical ties will be
severed. I was not powerful enough to
defeat him, and if no one truly can, our future will be grim.
If you are reading this and you have the might, you must go to
the mirror and destroy this fright.
I've sealed his soul with a musical rhyme. 4 souls
sequentially must say it in time.
I locked the poem in my treasured safe.
Find the key and you are worthy to take.
The key exists inside your head. Use that key to paint in red.
Desiree, my beloved, was an artist by trade.
Upon her easel you cast your fate, but be aware of what you
spurn for. What has taken shall be returned
with this key. Return to the mirror and the
demon who took my fiance will appear.
Defeat him and his minions, that villainous squaw than does, and
I may rest once and for all. At the completion of reading
this, the haunting does not depart from Cindy, but it like
seems to suggest that the things that she's been saying recently
is what it is expecting of her. So is the ghost that's haunting
me Luke or Joseph? I think it's Desiree, isn't it?
Well, Desiree is possessed currently.
Taken elsewhere. I ask this out loud, like, hey
Ghost Haunty, are you Luke or are you Joseph?
It does not respond. Neat.
If I had a guess, I would say that Luke is and the Joseph is
the. Demon contained in the mirror,
right? That's terrifying.
No, no, no, it's definitely not terrifying.
And that we have no reason to be afraid of the mirror at all.
It's just a massage, so we deal with that all the time.
Right. So find the key in your head.
Yeah, that's. I'm a little, I'm gonna be
honest, I'm a little confused about that one, almost like it's
a Riddle in my head and I have not found any keys recently in
my head. That's also like paint it.
Also like, yeah. Oh.
It's a song, right? So it could paint.
Key The song is in. We have to paint OK, I don't
know if this is ripe, but we have to paint a key with the red
paint. Yeah, it says use that key to
paint. In red.
Well, yeah, this is my interpretation.
I say we try it. Upon her easel you cast your
fate. Can I What?
What is that? The easel.
There is a paintbrush, there is a couple assorted paints and
pinned it to the top of the easel is a picture of Luke and
Manectric. Has there anything been done to
this picture? Nope, it's.
Not Josie. Misogynist, right?
Sorry, this isn't like what's on the easel like this is a
photograph. It's it's the same Polaroid that
you collected earlier that. Same style photo.
Can I paint a key with red paint on the easel?
Like on something on the easel like paper, canvas or whatever.
There's paper on the easel, you may paint on it, however there's
no red paint. Well.
OK, OK. What color are there?
Who is OK with losing a little blood?
No, just kidding. There is blue, there is black,
and there is yellow. That's it.
And there was green food dye in the kitchen.
The instruments in the music room were stained red.
That's correct. So maybe, maybe there's some,
maybe there's some red paint in there.
Maybe use the black paint to paint a key just to see if I
don't know. Spooky magic makes it be key.
Yeah, you can do that. You want you want to paint a
key. Yeah.
Yeah, give me a Charisma roll. Oh goodness, got a charm this
paper. Please.
Like me, it's an 18. Yeah, it's pretty good.
You paint a pretty Dame. Nice looking key.
It's pretty cool. It's just, it's just a good.
Key. It's just a good key.
Yeah, my guess is that either this doesn't work for Zoll or
second, well, it has to be red. What does the paintbrush?
Look like I'm not an artist so please don't judge me too much,
but it is not particularly fine, but also not particularly
coarse. It's like a big density brush.
It's got your classic Mudsdale hair tip and it seems like it's
been used a little bit. Not a whole lot, but a little
bit. Could the.
Paintbrush me use to try to pick the lock like the back end of
it. There's only one way to find
out, I guess. I take the paintbrush.
OK. Are you leaving the room?
Only if everybody else is coming with me.
Yeah, I think where was the same again.
It's in the. Other room with the spooky
mirror. Yeah, downstairs, right side
music room. Music room.
Yeah, I'm down to head to the music room.
OK, sure. Everyone, everyone, everyone.
It's fine. OK.
Yeah, you do that. It's feels like as you leave
this room that the thunderstorm outside is getting worse.
The wind is howling and and the rain is pelting and it seems
like every Thunder clap, the whole house shakes a little bit.
You make your way downstairs, you jump over the hole in the
seventh step and you're back in the music room.
What are you doing? Trying to pick the lock with
this paintbrush. Cool, who's doing it?
I guess I am Cindy. Cool.
Yeah, you you put the paintbrush to the hole in the safe and it's
like you're painting a keyhole. It's great, nothing happens.
I put like the back end of it, like pointy end.
Great. Yeah, you put in the wood in
pointy end to the keyhole and it's not a key you.
Can't pick around in there. It doesn't really fit, it's a
little too wide. How many steps are there total?
22 Why do you? Ask and I look around for some
red paint in the music room. Sure.
What's in the hole in the step? Is it just like empty bloat or
is there like a hole like a a thing?
Didn't no one checked? I don't know.
I'm a go check. OK Elodie, give me a role for
looking around for Red. Sandy, give me a role for
investigating in the spooky step.
What's investigation? Once again doing incredible with
the Rolls 22. 2210. Ten OK.
Elodie looks around, sees no containers that would contain
red. She sees like a beer bottle that
might have been consumed by AGM and musician once ago, but no
solvents, liquids, fluids that might contain red.
She does notice. She peers upon the four
instruments that have been stained red and she takes a
takes a closer eye and acknowledges that it is likely
not paint that has stained these instruments, but rather an
organic fluid. Cindy peeks into the hole under
the stairs and I need her to roll an intelligence check and
she wants to roll low. I haven't got a single like good
roll and I got. An 18 An 18.
Oh gosh, Cindy, here's below the stairs.
And rather than a structure of a house or anything that she sees,
she sees a whirling void of chaos and energy.
And there's Reds, and it's like a Whirlpool of darkness under
the stairs. And there are faces that appear
from the darkness and the sounds of of screaming voices of women
Pierce her. And she is going to be having
disadvantage on all Wisdom, intelligence, and the Christmas
checks for the rest of this encounter because she is
mortified by the chaos of eldritch energy that she saw
beneath the stairs. The stairs are good, they're out
of 10, would not recommend. In other news, it felt like when
Cindy left the master bedroom that the spirit that was
haunting her was satisfied and left.
So that's cool. So great.
Kind of fixated on this line. 4 souls sequentially must say it
in time. Oh, it's.
The OK, Well, no. It says that like there's a
thing in the safe. Yeah, there's a poem in the
safe. I locked the poem in my
treasured safe. Find the key and you are worthy
to take. Is there a clock anywhere in the
house? Yeah.
There's a clock in the study. So I'm thinking clocks have
faces. Could a clock be ahead?
Is there a key in the clock? Yes, but a grandfather clock's
timer is referred to as the head.
I'm going to be honest, I think that's kind of a stretch.
You're welcome to check. Yeah, like what's wrong with
checking? The clock in the study is not a
grandfather clock, it is a analog clock.
Oh OK, still checking. Sure, you're going to leave the
room and run across. I'm already in the hallway
looking at the stairs so. Sure.
Yeah, you might as well do that. You enter what you intend to do
with this clock. It's hanging in the wall.
You want to take it off and like investigate it.
Yeah. OK, to your knowledge, no key.
OK, neat. That's fine.
Is the clock working? It is not.
It is factually stuck. What time is it stopped at?
It stopped at 3:14. Hi, that's.
Hi. I bring the clock into the music
room with everybody just just in case something happens.
Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we need a clock. Yeah.
You never know all. The furniture from all the rooms
and put it in the music room. Yeah.
No. So do we think there is merit to
thee? We need to play it the key in
our blood theory 'cause if so, I I am willing to do it.
I I don't. OK.
Where are y'all getting paint from?
It says use the key use. That key to paint in the red.
What if it's a knife we use? The key to paint, not paint.
The key I'm. Just thinking.
I'm just thinking. You're thinking backwards.
But. But we still need red
regardless. What if like a knife will open
the key thing? What if you?
We're painting the demon or whatever is blood, you know what
I mean? Like we're it's a sword and
we're stabbing him and that's what we're painting and we
that's, that's us killing him. See, but here's what I'm saying
is like the key exists inside your head when you paint
something right? Like it previously was in your
head. And then also upon her easel,
you cast your fate. Let's draw a happy ending on the
easel before we do this, just in case.
My only thought is you must go to the mirror and destroy this
fright. We're not prepared for that.
We don't have the poem. What if we just destroy the
mirror? Probably a mad.
News of bad luck. Cindy and I die.
I I get the quacko pack of more riddles, baby.
We. Suck at them please.
Don't. This is Evie's yellow collar all
over again. You guys just you guys have
action items, Try them. So again I asked what is the
melting point of the metal of the safe?
Is Cindy trying to determine this of her own knowledge?
Yep. It is my rule as Adm to tell you
when checking for something is impossible.
Cindy cannot determine that. Great.
Hey, Gimli, what kind of metal do you think the safe is made
out of? You know about rocks?
One that I cannot break. I'm going to do it.
I'm going to go. Safe, right?
What? Was your question.
Is Pokémon like haunting the safe, right?
Yeah. How much does that Pokémon need
to take? I don't know.
Before it passes out. It seems like maybe a couple of
the attacks made on the safe did not hurt the Pokémon.
What was your thing, Elodie? I was just going to say I'm
going to go do it and I'm going to go back up to the easel.
OK. And I'm going to ask Cindy if I
can borrow the paint brush. Does Cindy relinquish it?
Yes. OK, going to find something
sharp. OK.
To cut my hand with and I'm going to paint a key with my
blood. Great.
There's like a little exacto knife kind of thing in the
artist supplies. Do you damage yourself?
Yes. OK, one HP, you draw blood.
What's your next step? I'm going to take the paintbrush
and paint a key. OK, you do that.
LD uses her own blood on the easel to draw a key and when she
finishes the last little line, a key figured creature emerges
from the page and it screams at her, goes and it seems very
furious and angry and it is like dripping in LD's blood.
What it is alive? It exists, but what is the
course of action here? First of all, I'm gonna scream.
Yeah, of course. And say sorry for disturbing
you, I'm creating you. I'm so confused.
The little bloody key monster floats around the room,
screaming and dripping blood. I punch it, you punch it.
Classic might kick, yeah. Yeah.
We like ping pong it back and forth ping pong.
Each of you roll me a strength. Well, give me Dexter Schmidt.
I think that's fair. This thing is moving around so
it might be kind of hard to get but. 16. 18th Perfect.
Gimli swings his fists in the air, punches it towards
Schmidt's foot. He kicks it smashes into the
ceiling and it falls to the ground and it poofs and outside
of it comes a small golden key. OK, I apologize for making fun
of you for the blood thing earlier.
It worked. Thank you.
No. That didn't make sense.
Well, there's now a key. Let's go open the safe, I guess.
OK, great. There is the safe who is
inserting the key. This cabbage want to be an
international super spy. Oh heck yeah, cabbage will do
that for sure. Cabbage will do it.
Does she put on her sunglasses? Oh yes.
Great Cabbage, who's already pretty close to the ground
compared to everyone else, holds the key.
She gets the smirk on her face, and she goes to insert the key
into the safe. It takes her a couple seconds
because she's wearing sunglasses, she can't really see
where the hole is, but she inserts it.
She clicks, turns it to the right, and the click kind of
resonates through the whole house.
And as she opens the safe, there's kind of a spooky
exhalation. And it's like inside the safe,
there is one small notebook. Cabbage picks it up.
She wants to hand it to someone. I think Cindy's been doing a
good job. Cindy as the notebook keeper, so
we'll take the notebook. Cindy looks at the notebook and
she sees the text. You ready y'all?
We do all have to read it. Jesus Christ.
Nope, I'm done. What you have to read?
It. Is it in West Philadelphia?
Born and raised. On the playgrounds where I spent
the most of my days. Chilling out Max in a Rolex.
And relax an old cold and all shooting some people outside of
this school are. You.
Are you? Guys ready?
Are you guys ready for this? Yep.
I'm. Scared dog.
Legitimately. Freaking.
Out you can hand it to. Someone else?
Yeah. Schmidt's gonna grab it.
She's gonna take it from her. It's.
Like I'm gonna take it from freaking out, hey.
Schmidt, please read it. OK, that's it too.
Oh, come on, please. I want to know.
Come on. We should I.
Get myself together. I'm going to take it from
Schmidt, OK. Great.
Yeah, Melody, good luck. Oh my God, odd man out.
This is magnificent, actually. I'm not going to say anything.
I'm just going to start doing the dance.
This is. Great.
All right. And then I take the book.
Yeah, Oh my God, 'cause he's oh stop 'cause he's Joseph.
No way, dude. Oh my fucking God.
Wait, you just retold that entire weird fucking copy pasta
of The Haunting? Oh my God, that's awesome.
You're magnificent. You have to.
You have to read it sequentially, OK.
Oh yeah, we do. We decide.
We need to put a line. No, you have to read the whole
thing 1 by 1 sequentially. Oh so.
If you guys want to do it and you just it's hilarious, you can
do that too. Oh, absolutely.
Well, it that's kind of hard to find, like when we can't.
I'm I'm ready. I will start this.
I have the book. You guys can each have a line.
Actually, that's fine. You guys can each do a line.
I don't know if I can read in these circumstances.
If it hadn't been for Courtney Joe.
Cottony, Joe. Cottony Joe I.
Need Joe. I didn't even catch that.
I was just. It hadn't been.
Yeah, it hadn't been for Courtney Joe.
I've been married a long time ago.
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cottony Joe?
As Cindy reads the final line of the sacred poem used to seal
away the demon Cottony Joe, the whole house trembles in the
thunderstorm. In the mirror, the reflection
begins to waver and it spins and it spirals and it turns into a
brilliant purple color and out emerges a demon in a cowboy hat.
His eyes are fully made of cotton, he's wearing a leather
suit and chaps, and he has a lasso at his side, and he's
joined by 6 demonic evil cottony.
You may rule initiative, Jesus. All right.
OK, I. Couldn't.
I couldn't. Real fire thing was built up for
that joke. It's so good.
That's awesome. There's Joe and there's cotton
everywhere. Oh my God.
What's the image modifier? Is it dex?
Dex dex dex LED has a higher dex then Gimli does.
Great Schmidt, you're up first what will you do?
Oh sorry, I forgot to mention. As each line of the poem was
read, each of the blood stained musical instruments began to
play a haunting to. I wonder what tune?
Yeah, I wonder what that was a. Fiddle, a banjo, a kick drum and
an upright bass are. Those the instruments that play
the song. This is amazing.
I'm still weak from the the shock of cottony.
Joe, I'm just glad you guys thought it was horrifying at
first because Cindy couldn't say it, but it was because it was
funny that. That was such a good build up
dude. Whatever I saw it.
Oh my God, we still. Got to beat him.
He's scary, he's demonic, he wants to take the.
Women away he's so scary, he. Wants to take the women away
he's. Yeah, I'm going to start on the
Spooky Cotton minions. Great, there's six of them.
Yep, I'm going to. Are they in a line?
Are they parallel to us? They're in a line in front of
Spooky Cottony Joe. Cool, cool.
Can I position quacko? Are you know what?
No, let's not do it. I'm not, I'm not LED, I'm not
fancy. I'm just going to raw air cutter
one great, just right where I'm standing.
Sure, do it. Show me the damage. 17 to hit.
17 to hit that does in fact hit 2D. 8 + 716 points of flying
type damage. Nice.
And that's super. Effective so I doubled the dice.
21 points of flying type damage. Excellent.
A great hit, in fact. So good, in fact, one of the
cottonies simply dissolves into aether as it is struck with
Quacko's air cutter. Very impressive.
Cindy's up next. How far away are we from them?
15 feet. So my cone of flamethrower would
be about 15 feet in diameter as well cuz distance in the.
It expands by 5 feet each distance, so.
Yeah, that would be 30 feet on if you did it that way.
Yeah, makes sense. You can hit.
You could hit three of them. Great.
We're doing that, yeah. They needed DC-15 deck save.
Cottony 1 succeeds. Cottony 2 fails.
Cottony 3 fails. Did any of them fail by 5 or
more? The second one did.
It's burned. Oh no, OK, super effective fire
type damage. 30. 30. So the ones that fail take all
of it, and then the one that didn't takes half of that,
great. Cottonies, if we're going from
left to right in my brain, 5 and 6 dissolve in the aether.
They just disappear. The the third one manages to
hang on with a little bit of energy and it glares at solely
menacingly. Very good LED, What are you
doing? I am going to have cabbage go
for a mystical fire onto the cottony.
Right, which one? There is 2 remaining.
There were six and we got rid of three.
Yeah, there's 3 remaining. I lied.
There's 32 have taken no damage and one has taken a lot.
I will do on one of the undamaged.
Ones excellent roll the hit. Fabulous 19. 19 That certainly
hits. Roll your damage. 35 damage.
Right, 35 damage. Cleanly Kos that cotton.
He has cabbage. Shoots out a beam of mystical
fairy fire smacks into that cottony and they dissolve into
nothingness. 2 Cottonys remain in front of Cottony Joe Gimli.
All right, I'm throwing a mud slap at Cottony Joe.
It's right at him. Right.
Right at him. With Trevor.
Let's see it. So roll the hit does a 23 hit.
Sure does. He takes 11 damage and he has -1
on all of his attack rolls. OK, excellent.
Love it. Yeah.
Trevor shoots out a torn of mud right at Cottony Joe's face, his
soulless cotton eyed face. And it covers up his cotton eyes
and it makes it difficult for him to use his ability to.
I can't say C because he doesn't have eyes.
It it disorients the demon. Excellently done.
It is Cottony Joe's turn. His one remaining Cottony Joe
outstretches a hand and Cottony charges towards the upright bass
and it smacks its face right into it, and two of the strings
come undone. The bass is no longer making
music. Cottony Joe stands up more
powerfully, more defiantly, and he laughs, ha ha ha ha, and he
seems like he is preparing to make some sort of demonic
strike. It's Smith's turn of.
Course, it's Smith's turn. Cotton Eye Joe himself isn't
holding anything correct. Correct.
Yeah, I'm going to go for a fun little poison jab into Cottony
Joe. Right into the guy himself.
Right into the guy. Let's do it.
Let's see it. I did not get the poison roll,
which is really what I wanted, but it's still a dirty 21 to
hit. OK, yeah, that will connect
really you can really damage. Is it super effective?
On Cottony Joe, no, we're not treating Cottony Joe like a
Pokémon. OK, so that is 19 points of
poison type damage. A pretty significant hit as
Quacko prepares his leak and stabs into Cottony Joe.
I'm guessing that's the sound like Quacko bakes as he is
imbued with poison, not creating a poisonous effect but dealing a
chunky amount of damage. Very nice bindi.
Like, can I take an action and have solely taken action?
That's what we. Decided yes, yes, yes.
You OK? Alright, so Cindy's gonna try
and mimic the upright basses noise that it was making before
it stopped. To try to like replace, yes, To
try to replace the sound of it, to like keep the music going
'cause it seems like as the instruments were breaking, he's
getting more powerful. So Cindy's trying to like, not
let that happen. OK, can we get a little sample
of some upright bass vocalization?
Boom boom boom boom boom boom. Yeah, yeah, Yeah.
I think it's about right. That's pretty good.
Yeah. As Cindy begins to do this, does
she do it like confidently or like reservedly?
As confidently as she can, given the circumstances.
Yeah, she does this and a look of of despair appears on Cottony
Joe's demonic soulless face as maybe Cindy has cracked the code
of some sort, I don't know. And what is solely doing?
Solely's gonna go for an overheat and try to hit and try
to hit the mainly cottony Joe. If she hits the other cottony,
cool but like trying to hit cottony Joe.
Because like, no one is flanking or like circling around Cottony
Joe in my mind. I'm not going to say that this
is going to have friendly fire because it's like the radius of
it. You know what I'm saying?
It's going to be forward facing anyways.
Yeah, that's a save, correct? Yeah, DC-13 deck save.
OK, the last remaining cottony succeeds.
The Cottony Joe fails. Wow, OK, 15 damage.
Right, that's so halved is going to be the damage to cottony.
Well, it's still super effective though, so we'll just say it's
15 for both. Yeah, a pretty significant hit
from is isn't that really 15? Was your damage low it?
Was low. OK, cool.
I was like, that's a pretty powerful attack.
Yeah, Cottony takes a pretty significant hit from the
overheat, as does Cottony Joe. They're both still standing.
Cottony Joe is frustrated and he is like holding his ears where
the holes where his ears should be.
It's like holding to his head and he's very, very upset with
what is going on. It seems like when there is full
music he is more susceptible to taking damage and Kotney's still
standing melody. Elody is going to start singing
Kotney Joe again. Great, she's singing the words.
Yep. Can I at least get a spoken
rendition? Yeah, of course.
Yeah, hadn't been for Cottony Joe.
I've been married a long time ago.
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cottony Joe?
Great, excellent. This is a delight to the Quacko,
Packo and their Pokémon. This is a horror to Cottony Joe
and his last remaining cottony They this.
This poem has been imbued with the power of a man who lost his
fiance, and it is shattering Cotney Joe's demonic soul.
He is. He's kind of like writhing, but
he is still present. Is Cabbage doing anything?
Yes, Cabbage is going to go for a dazzling gleam on the
remaining Cotney and Joe. Let's see it or it's a Save
Christmas save, right? It's.
A save? Yes.
Charisma. Cotney fails, Joe succeeds.
OK, I shall roll damage. Does it fail by 5 or more?
Well you know what, let me just roll the damagers.
So that does 19 damage. Great as far as blinding, we
don't have to worry about it because that was devastating
damage. The last remaining cottony With
all the Cottonies defeated, it seems like an intense dark red
aura surrounds Joe and he is incredibly powered up and he is
prepared to go crazy when it's his turn because Gimli's still
got some stuff he can do. So yeah, Mudslap real quick 23.
Yeah, that'll hit. OK so roll damage, 12 damage and
-2 now on his attack rolls. And then Gimli is going to man
the bass drum and start making it play louder.
Nice. With by with himself and then
also singing the rendition of the poem, since that proved to
be pretty effective. Nice.
Love it. So.
So here we go. We hadn't been for Courtney Joe.
I've been married for a long time ago.
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Courtney Joe?
Excellent. Nicely done.
It seems like this musical power is far more devastating than the
attacks from your Pokémon, and as you hit the kick drum, it
seems like it's all out of fluff, and it makes it a nice,
resonant, sonorous kick drum. Very pleasant to hear.
Very appropriate for the style of of folk dance music.
Hybrid from a Swedish band. Very, very good.
It's Joe's turn. Joe lets out a horrifying
shriek. He's like as all of his kotnies
have been defeated and they define him.
What is he supposed to do without them?
He runs over to the banjo that's plucking away and picks it up
and runs over to rolling the quacko and goes to smack it on
top of quacko. Have Quacko.
Have Quacko make a Dexterity save.
Don't you? Decker, Quacko, 1414. 14 is just
enough to get out of the way. Thankfully Quacko will not be
taking any banjo damage. However the floor takes full
banjo damage and the banjo all the strings snap off and is
completely destroyed and Cotton E Joe stands even more powerful
and his and his his grin opens up to reveal a feigned toothed
smile. He uses an additional action as
part of his frenzy that he has entered and he summons A shadowy
force from between his hands and he fires it off towards Cabbage.
Cabbage. This is actually going to be a
roll to hit. That's going to be a 28 to hit.
Oh yeah, that'll in fact hit. Feeling total of 30 points of we
will say ghost adjacent damage. It might be like cursed damage
or something else spooky going on.
Yes. And then he laughs as he feels
more powerful. With no banjo existing, it is
now Schmidt String. Schmidt make the banjo noises.
Make the banjo noises. The bass noises are working.
I'm just going to go for some good old traditional damage.
Well, like Quacko can do damage and you can do banjo noises, or
you can do damage and quacko can do banjo noises.
Oh yo, the quack banjo goes crazy.
Yeah, he he grabs the banjo string, stripes them over his
leak, makes a banjo. Oh my God.
That'd be too cool. That would be too cool.
Yeah, we'll do another air cutter from a safe distance at
Joe, OK, just to get that damage off.
Does a Oh my God. OK, Does a dirty 24 hit.
It sure does. OK.
Even 20 nice damage, love to see it a good sizable hit.
And then Schmidt is going to join in with singing.
He's not going to make the banjo noises.
He's going to sing. I don't know.
I don't. Should I do this?
Yeah, I'm going to do it. Schmidt is going to sing.
He came to town like a midwinter storm.
He rode through the field so handsome and strong.
His eyes was his tool and his smile was his gun, but all he
had come for was having some fun.
The part of the song that no one knows about because they can't
understand it, because she has a really thick Swedish accent when
she says it. Hell yeah, that's awesome.
The hidden secret verse. Nice job.
Excellent. This infuriates Cotton E Joe.
He can't believe his own ear holes.
It seems like he has fallen out of his frenzy and his powers
waning. Very, very good.
This loops us back around to Cindy.
Cindy's still doing her best of. Course a bright base.
Boom boom, boom. What?
About four on the floor. So just be like boom boom, boom
boom. And solely is gonna go for a
flamethrower. OK, because this is immediately
after a overheat. It has Connie.
Joe has advantage for ADC 15 deck save.
Great. Cottony Joe will use that
advantage to his Yeah, he rolled in 19 first, so we'll keep that
natural 19. The damage is half of 18. 99
points of damage on the Cottony Joe as solely lets out a little
blast of flame. Very good he is.
He's struggling. It seems like maybe his form is
becoming smaller somehow. Anything else for Cindy?
No, she's still bopping along. OK, Ality, what are you going to
do? Cabbage is going to join in on
the noises of the song and attempt to make little cabbage
noises. Love those.
What particularly are you thinking?
Have we? We haven't covered the violin
yet, have we? That's.
Correct. Cabbage will attempt to do the
violin noises. OK, Yeah.
However cabbage does that, it's probably like something like
that, Right, Right, right. Exactly.
Yeah, but exactly it, it's fast for this.
It's fiddle. It's country fiddle.
So cabbage cabbage is like. Country Fiddle.
Cabbage. Fiddle.
Yeah, she she do be fiddling with the the fiddle noises.
It's a disaster, dude. Cottony Joe cannot handle it.
His form is depreciating and at this point he is merely a head
in the torso. His limbs have disappeared and
the cotton's coming from his eyes is spilling out all over
the ground. He's groaning and moaning is
terrible. Anything else for Elodie?
With that performance, that will be a little Elodie's Party Times
inspiration for for Gimli. Nice.
Love it. Cool.
Very good. Gimli, what are you doing?
I'm ready to finish this man. Yeah, do it.
Do it, Do it, do it, do it. Inspired by Schmidt, I've
determined that maybe there's maybe there's more words to
this. Maybe there's in fact another
secret verse. No shit a brought disaster
wherever we went. The halts of the girls was the
hell broke scent. They all ran away so no one
would know and left only man who's a cotton audio.
Oh no, not the secret verse. The other secret verse?
No, it's. It's exactly what Cotton E Joe
could not handle to hear the the the secret verse of the song
that would send him back to the demon dimension forever.
His his body evaporates and dissolves into a giant fluff of
cotton, and you hear a groaning no and the sound of the haunted
instruments in the room slowly decrescendoing out into
quietness and you have defeated the demon Cotton E Joe.
The thunderstorm outside immediately clears, and there's
a beam of sunlight that reaches through the room before you.
In front of the mirror, facing backwards, is the silhouette of
a woman joined by a vaguely purple cat.
And she turns around and she sees you all and she smiles.
And then from above, from above, the house comes down a man
joined by a silhouette of a ghostly manectric.
The couple embrace each other and they wave at you and they
disappear into the ether. The houses were pretty normal,
pretty quiet. It is.
It looks sunny outside despite being in here for for hours, and
the all the spooky stuff seems pretty much back to normal.
What's the party going to do? GT and FO.
If I still have the rhyming dictionary in my bag.
You peek inside. Yes.
Do you want it? I just thought it'd be funny to
have. You never know what you're going
to need. A rhyming dictionary, yeah.
Let's have a little memento. Why not?
Yeah, there's a there's a unhaunted rhyming dictionary in
Cindy's bag. Hey.
Does it still say Joseph over Luke?
It does not. Holy shit.
OK. Does everyone exit the house?
Does the House let us leave? You try.
Yes. Yeah, you.
You pull on the door and right outside you see Sam and says
what? You're done already.
You just went in. Yeah, it was a pretty quick job.
Yeah. It was really bad, a big.
Deal at all? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. I don't know what was so hyped
about this place honestly. No, it's just bad banjo music.
Bad. I will say it did pave the way
for an inspired Avicii to make a Wake Me Up, which is a great
song. For real.
Sam says well do can we continue on our journeys then?
Yeah, I don't think so. You should probably call the
guard back, the lawyer back. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let him know, yeah.
Let him know we we took care of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's meant to place.
On the call. Hello, Clementine Sawyer.
Hey, hey, hey. Yeah, we investigated that thing
that you asked me about. You know when I called you about
30 seconds ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We figured it out. So it was this cotton monster
named Cottony Joe. Like the song?
You know the song, right? He.
Says of course. Yeah, Classic song.
Yeah, go on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Inspired Avicii to make Wake Me Up a great song anyways.
Yeah, it was him. It was a, it was him as a demon.
And then we, we, we solved the demon.
So everyone has been put to rest.
But that character is just folklore.
Cottony Joe was never real. Oh, oh, no, no, Sir.
Other than that, no, he's real. Not what happened.
Clementine Sawyer says. Incredible.
I never thought that we would end up having to pin a double
homicide on on a mythical entity.
Well, thank you for your information.
We'll give Marvel PD to follow up soon.
Glad you figured it out so quickly, I guess.
Appreciate you, Schmidt, my boy. Yep, you have to be careful not
to re summon him or something. That'll be bad.
Great. Just don't break the mirror
because I think he's still in there.
Sometimes says all right, gotcha.
Quacko Paco, thank you for your bravery.
If I need anything else I'll let you know again.
Cool quacko Paco out. Great.
You reconvene with Sam, who's just kind of like, I don't think
that these guys ever actually did anything.
And if you have nothing else to say, that is where we will call
it. And then the hydragon turns to
Gimli and starts to attack Gimli.
What is your action I'm. Going to punch him.
OK roll roll me a a punch. No modifiers, just a straight
D20. 19. Yeah, the hydragon just falls to
the ground and he's just like, I've been punched and it sucks,
and then he explodes. That's because you killed my
friend. Schmidt's lifeless body remains
in three pieces on the floor. Oh, hey, Richie, how's it going?
Great. I'm glad that we've concluded
the one shot. Pardi wants to see this tweet
that garbanzo beans tweeted, but I'm not seeing the tweet.
It's a reply. Why is it a reply to a tweet?
What is it? What did I reply to?
A tweet. Wait, what did I reply to?
Tweets and replies. You just replied to something
random. So foggy ollies will strap.
Oh shit. None of these museums have
security. I didn't.
Even I didn't realize I was still on someone's Twitter.
It's so fucking don't delete it. I don't delete it dude.
I already deleted the tweet. Dude, God damn it, it's.
A mustard company. Dude that's so fucking funny.
Oh shit. Holy shit.
There's some guy who works there named Joseph.
He's like. What?
What did I do? I even know this guy.
