Welcome to the Cali Rex Game Corners Pokémon DND campaign
featuring Cindy, a young Vagabond from the Hohen region
with pyromaniac tendencies, Gimli, a stocky Burley miner
from Sino looking for his lost son, Elody, an enthusiastic
foodie and Baker from Carlos, and Schmidt, an enigmatic man
from Johto with a duck. My name is Rich and I'm the game
Master and this is Dunsparse and Grandpa.
We last left our heroes Elodie and Gimli, after they had
tumbled down through the top of a ziggurat after solving the
final Trick House puzzle. There they found the revived
forms of the previously melted Schmidt and Quacko and petrified
Cindy, Youngster Calvin and Tim the Venonat, the latter of whom
the party first met at the beginning of their adventure on
Route 121. They have uncovered hidden
truths behind this peculiar and supernatural trick house.
The customer of this absurd amount of cupcakes is none other
than Hoopa, the Pokémon Prankster, God of Mischief and
Portals. Upon revealing his true form,
Hoopa has done nothing but cackle and menacingly throw
golden hoops towards the party, sometimes abducting them and
placing them elsewhere. With all that being said, you
may roll initiative. Oh.
Oh, we scrap it. Absolutely.
We OK. I didn't realize this is a.
At the top of the order is actually Calvin Youngster.
Calvin. He sees the situation and he
turns to Tim and he's like Tim, what do we do?
And Tim looks at him and gives off his head.
Just doesn't really know because they have just been petrified or
they've been recently unpetrified after being
petrified for honestly, who knows how long they were in
there. They skitter off 10 feet to the
right and hide behind a stone pillar.
I probably should describe this room.
It's 80 feet by 80 feet. It is pretty dimly lip, but you
can basically see there are 6 stone columns that are 10 feet
across. There's Hoopa is at the far end
of the room. They're about 60 feet away from
you. And like this, the stone pillars
are like, it's a perfect square of a room and they're nestled
close to the walls. So there's one to the left of
Schmidt, there's one to the right of Calvin, and then they
repeat 20 feet down. And then they repeat 20 feet
down South, 6 stone pillars. That's pretty much the only
notable thing in here. Calvin spends his turn hiding
behind a stone pillar up next to Schmidt.
Let me describe this the the situation here.
This isn't super important, so we don't play with a map, but
from left to right, kind of in the back wall where you fell, we
have Schmidt on the left, then Eledy, then Gimli, then Cindy,
then Calvin. Hiding behind a pillar and
behind Gimli is your green wagon with pink streamers holding a
large box of cupcakes. Hoopa Doopa is 60 feet in front
of you towards the far wall. Where is this Hoopa?
He's just floating around and giggling and it looks like he's
phasing in and out of existence. OK, I choose diplomacy.
OK. I say, what the fuck are we
doing here and who are you? Yeah, you can roll a charisma on
that 1818 Hoopa just cackles. He doesn't directly answer your
question, although he does mention you've come with the
payload, have you not? That's all I get for an 18?
Fuck you, guy. All right, that is my turn.
Great. Let's also clarify which Pokémon
do you have out, and who do you have with you if they're not
out. It's Quacko.
OK, I think that is it. Yeah, cuz me and Quacko just
respond. Yes.
You should and then get you like to the other world you.
Should have just gotten your belt though, right?
Yes. And and Patricia and Patricia
perfect. I just wanted to clarify who
was, what's going on. OK, if that's all you want to
do, then it's LED. Yeah, I think I put cabbage
away. I think you did.
At some point, so I will probably need to take cabbage
out. OK.
Do I have the opportunity to like, do anything else or does
that take up my turn? It would take up like an attack
potentially, but you can still make a check or move or you
know, whatever. Yeah, tried diplomacy.
Because that went has gone so well in the past.
Yeah, I'll. I'll still try it though.
You want these cupcakes or gnaw? Like what?
Like I'm here to make a delivery.
Do you do you want these cupcakes or gnaw?
Yeah, like we've got the payload.
Where do you want us to put it? Like we like kind of.
We're busy a little bit right now.
We've got other things you got to go.
Do you totally mess with us? Yeah, We got a lot of stuff
going on. You've messed with us.
You've killed two of us. Like what else do you want dude?
Yeah, roll your charisma. That is a 23.
He cackles again, of course, as he always does, as he does, as
as Hoopa does, because he loves. I was waiting for the Franks
like cackles, of course. And he says yes, yes, yes, thank
you for bringing them. I'm so excited to have some fun
with you all. And he summons 4 gold hoops
around him. He pulls his earrings off, he
pulls his bracelets off. And then new ones spawn in their
places and portals open up. Shooting through one pair of
them is a whole bunch of tomatoes, and shooting through
the other pair of them is a whole bunch of fish Pokémon.
And they're going like if you play the game Portal, if you set
2 up so that you constantly fall through them, they get faster
and faster. So he is taking a column of
tomatoes and a column of fish and they are reaching terminal
velocity. All the things.
What a dickhead. So now it's Gimli.
OK, I don't know what to do, but so in preparation for to get
pranked by these tomatoes, I mean, I guess I have to put
Trevor out though, nevermind. So I guess we'll we'll bring
we'll bring Trevor out here for sure.
Everyone else is staying in his ball.
And then I'm just going to casually ask Koopa where it's
even though these tomatoes are clearly reached a terrible
velocity, I'm not going to be startled by it.
And well, I can you can read it yourself as a secondary action,
right? Is that a?
You can also take cover, that's an option too.
That I could also take cover. We're just going to still ask
him where to put this payload. Yeah.
So I was like, yeah, well, no, I have +2 crews.
So yeah, we can give that a go. Give it a roll.
OK, boy, what do you want us to do with this payload?
I don't want it anymore 15. He says you've come to deliver
it, have you not? And then the tomatoes and fish
get faster and faster and faster.
So I guess I could save my action, but it maybe we should
deposit one of the the the payloaded to one of his portals
that's reaching terminal velocity.
That's what I was thinking. I was like, you know?
I'm the delivery. Yeah, like actually deliver it.
Like here you go. Now the cupcakes are reaching
terminal velocity. I'm, I'm thinking of like a, a
scene, I think it's from a Marvel movie.
It might be Thor. Like there's some sort of object
and it's like a glowing light and then there's like gold rings
that spin around it concentrically.
You know what I'm talking about? Like, so Hoopa is kind of more
or less glowing himself. And he's also fading like in and
out of existence 'cause he's a ghost type.
But rather than these pillars of tomatoes and fish just in a
straight line going through portals again and again, they're
also spinning around him almost like randomly, like he's like a
center of gravity, OK? As if he's charging up.
Gimli, I want you to make a perception check. 20.
You have had a friend with you for this whole journey through
the Trick House and they have not caused you any issues.
Their name is Bean and they're existing in your overalls.
When you most recently got picked up by a portal and
dropped through, it looks like Bean got a little hurt.
His horn is slightly chipped, however his demeanor is fine.
He's actually not crying, he's not in pain, and if anything,
he's stoic. Oh.
Tough guy, give him a little pet.
Give him a pet bead. Yeah, good bead.
His distant stare turns to you and becomes a smile and he goes
and he's, he likes you a lot, but when he's not looking at
you, he's kind of just not even present.
Or maybe he is, he's just incredibly observant.
Or he's just, he's not a regular baby is what you're picking up.
Something's up with this, with this little Dino friend.
It's Cindy's turn. So Jack's already out, and I
just realized this on the character sheet, Jack has
intimidation. Yes, that's true in skills.
So what? What does that do?
So you can have Jack make an intimidation check and it could
have an effect on Hoopa if it's successful.
Cool, let's do that. I got an AT. 20.
Yeah, I got an AT20. Jack has been through a lot of
shit. Jack thought he lost his trainer
and now he's reunited and he's so happy she's here.
But he is sick and tired of these shenanigans.
He had to do so much work to even get in this position and
see his trainer again. So this tiny little kitten leaps
forward and snarls at Hoopa in a very menacing way with this
natural 20. It catches Hoopa off guard and
he drops the tomatoes. They all just fall to the ground
and splatter, and this makes Hoopa laugh even harder.
I don't know, like I guess I could probably do a move because
the intimidation is just a skill.
I don't know what I would do. That would be like Jack's thing.
If Cindy wants to do a thing, that would be.
Cindy will probably just kind of like prepare herself mentally
and emotionally for what's about to happen, figuring like, Jack's
got this, like Jack is so ready. Uh huh.
Jack is feeling pretty brave. OK, At the bottom of initiative,
it is Hoopa himself. And Hoopa, taken a little bit
aback by by Jack, gets a little invigorated.
He's like, we're having fun now, aren't we?
He, he, he, he. And then he repositions one of
his hoops and he fires dozens upon dozens of cold, dead fish
towards the party. And everyone needs to make a
Dexterity saving throw as you're pelted with frozen fish.
This would include Quacko. This would include Jack.
Valerina Gimley and. Trevor strikes.
Again and. Yeah, everyone who's out.
Dexterity. Yes.
That's me and then Jack. Gimley got an 18.
Gimme what the? Hell yeah.
That's got a 19. So Cindy got 14, Jack got 19.
Yeah, I'm going to type it in. Quacko, the absolute monster got
a dirty 21 OK, and Schmidt got what is this #17?
So Hoopa sends a barrage of fish.
I mean, they're fish Pokémon, but they're all different kinds.
They're the ones that people usually eat and they seem to be
half frozen or prepared for for shipment or something.
And he blasts them towards the party.
Basically everyone manages to nimbly get out of the way except
for cabbage and LED, and they take 12 points of frozen fish
damage and LE DS going to take 6 as they just get slapped in the
face with cold fish moving at terminal velocity.
It hurts, it stays. I wonder.
If this will influence your sweet scent, frozen fish.
Everyone else manages to nimbly dodge out of the way.
Can I get an additional Dexterity check for Jack?
Come on, Jack. Oh no, that's that's a 10.
The 10 OK Jack is feeling very angry, very protective of his
trainers and sees the stream of fish coming out and attempts to
like jump on this beam of fish from fish to fish in attempts to
get closer to Hoopa, but he slips on one and doesn't quite
make it. Hoopa, after doing this, giggles
again and he pulls out two portals, this time with more
food items. He summons a a torrent of
cabbages speeding up and speeding up, swirling around his
body. And he also summons a whole
bunch of sausages and they're just spilling around him.
And it seems like he's having the fun with this little food
fight with you guys. It's Calvin's turn.
Calvin is hiding behind the pillar.
And this gave him some cover for when you were subjected to the
fish. And he said, oh, Tim, I don't
know what we're going to do, Tim, help us do something.
And Tim, he has a little bit of bravery and he goes blurry and
he steps out behind the column and he shakes his body
vigorously, goes, and he is covered in spores.
He's attempting to make a rage powder.
Hoopa needs to make a wisdom safe.
And he passes because his wisdom is crazy.
Bennett, Tim, the Bennett tries to draw the attention of Hoopa,
doesn't do anything. But Tim for a moment shows a
little bit of courage. It's Schmidt now.
So he's having fun with the food fight huh?
I think. Schmidt now.
I think we're going to say fuck it, we're going to join in on
the food fight. We're standing in like a pile of
fishes, right? Pretty much, yeah.
I instruct Quacko to retreat his sword and he like toughs it like
in his feathers or something like on his back.
And then he pulls out two fishes and then Schmidt himself also
pulls up two fishes and I would like to see he's still 60 feet
away. We don't really have like.
You have to make some movement. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can we like get a running start and then we run with the fishes
and then we throw the fishes like after we've exhausted all
over our movement? Yep, you can run 30 feet and
then throw the fish. You're welcome to do that.
Yeah, that's what we do. What if we use the cupcakes?
I have that idea as well. I figured I'd try to fish. 1st
And I was like Oh no. What if we just we participate?
But yeah, what do I need to roll for a fish fight?
That is a dex check. So you're going to add your
Dexterity. I'm trying to come up with the
I'm going to tell you the DC because this is a ranged fish
attack and I don't think you're really proficient with like
throwing things. I'm going to say, I'm going to
say for both of you, it's like ADC 17 Dexterity check.
We are both very dexterous. You are dexterous, but it's
still hard. You're trying to hit a small
target from far away. Quackish fucking crit.
Of course he did great. Schmidt got a what is this, a
12A? 12 OK Schmidt throws his fish
and they just go wide. Quacko throws his fish and one
of them just smacks Hoopa right in the face.
And for a moment he stunned out of his ghostly shape shifting
and he gives off yet another chuckle.
And rather than just like disrupting the flow of one of
these food items, one of the portals disappears that was
speeding up the sausages and the sausages just shoot straight up
in the air. Just like, honestly, hundreds of
feet of linked sausages are just spewing from a portal into this
room. They don't seem to harm anyone.
But if you get very close to HIPAA, you might have to like,
deal with the fact that it's raining sausages and like, make
some checks or make some saves or something.
That will be Schmidt's turn. It's now LED.
Great. I love the fact that we are
dealing with this situation. Now that I think about it, I am
going to take out Paplio as well.
OK, say hello to bubble gum. Bubble gum is now here.
And then I can still, like, make a check, right?
Or do something, yeah. Yeah, you won't.
LED won't make an attack, but your Pokémon can do stuff.
Not Paplio because bubble gum just hit the field, but cabbage
can definitely do something. Cabbage can also try and pick up
some fish and throw them. She's not going to do a good
job, but she's going to try. She can.
Definitely try. I will say if you let cabbage
move the 30 feet forwards then it's still ADC 17.
If cabbage stays closer, it's going to be harder.
Yeah, I'll let her move closer. I got a net 20.
Really. Yes.
OK. Are crazy bro.
Kavage grabs the fish, it's very heavy for her 'cause she's not
that big, and she dives forward towards Hoopa, and while she was
she took them off for a minute so that she could see clearly in
this dark room. While she's running forward or
floating forward, her sunglasses fall back over her eyes and she
does a spinning throw just just into the random space of the
temple. And then dude, it a miracle.
A large frozen fish smacks right into Hoopa's face and once again
stunning. It surprised and continues to
laugh. And Hoopa is having so much fun
right now. And the portal of sausages
closes. But the portal of cabbages is
still going strong, speeding up faster and faster.
I like to imagine that the fish was flying through the air in
slow motion and Chariot of Fire was flying in the background.
Yeah, that's. Definitely what happened,
absolutely. It's going to be Gimli now, so.
I'm going to bring Trevor out. Oh, not Trevor, I'm sorry.
Going to bring Toidel out. Trevor's already out and Toidel
obviously can't do anything. But me and Trevor are going to
ready ourselves by the cupcakes to ready for a deployment combo
action with Toidel. So here's set that up for next
term. OK.
So you just kind of position into like a battle mode.
Next to the right. We're going to ready ourselves,
yeah. OK, great.
That happens. Cindy I.
Guess we're going to try to throw some fish.
OK, so I'll have me and Jack try and do the same maneuver, run up
and throw some fish. OK, Jack is further ahead of
you. He can probably jump and
actually reach Hoopa. He doesn't have to throw it.
He can still throw the. Fish.
That's fine, but he also doesn't really have arms.
He'd have to do it with his mouth.
So you're saying he's close enough to Hoopa to actually like
hit Hoopa if he jumps? Potentially.
We could try a fire Fang. OK, and Cindy will throw a fish.
Yes. OK, roll your regular to hit
with fire Fang and you can roll your own fish.
Dexterity is. Not gonna hit.
I got an 8 and. Then what about the fish?
13. Yeah, 13 so.
My fish failed. Cindy recognizes this fish
because she's seen this around. It's pretty iconic.
But she also saw one at the Lily Cove City Summer Festival.
It's a magic carp. It's not a shiny one, just a
regular one. And it's just dead and frozen
and it's a. Magic Carp.
I thought you were gonna. They're gonna say she personally
knew this. She recognizes she recognizes
the species as magic carp and this one's like pretty hefty and
she throws it by the tail fin and it she just kind of whips
it. Jack charges towards Hoopa and
managed to manages to meet melee range of Hoopa and goes for a
fire fame and it looks like it's pretty much on course.
The hit Hoopa and then Hoopa just vanishes and then reappears
in front of Jack and that will be Cindy's turn.
Bupa will unleash a torrent of cabbages towards the party, as
was expected for him to do so. They are moving very, very fast
and they are big cabbages. Everyone needs to make
exteriority saves. It looks like everyone nimbly
manages to dodge these cabbages except for Ever.
In total, while they are just getting focused on setting up
kind of a cannon formation so to speak, as they've done in the
past, they get pelted. Let's see how much damage they
take. You got really lucky.
There was some some lowest rolls.
Trevor. And wait, what was Gimli's roll?
12. Yeah.
So Trevor and Total take 14 points of cabbage damage and
Gimli take 7 as they get battered and blasted with
vegetables. Hoopa, thumbs up.
Three sets of portals. This times 3 pairs.
Pulls off his bracelets and his earrings and they go.
They just respawn right back. There is a whole bunch of
potatoes. They look heavy.
There is a whole bunch of pies, they look very tasty and in the
third terminal velocity achieving pair of portals loose
ice cream, just not in any containers.
Just like sloppy goopy ice cream.
Also is going to take one of its mythical actions to slap at Jack
and I give him a good old whack. Does a 14 hit Jack?
Yeah. OK, Jack takes 18 points of
psychic slap damage. Oh my God.
Hoopa tries to shoo off this cat who's getting in his face.
It'll loop back around to Calvin.
Calvin is still cowering, managed to not get hit by the
cat, just mirrored to Tim. Calvin looks over at Gimli.
He's like what? What the heck are you guys
doing? He.
Wants the food fight. We're food fighting.
Calvin says I don't know what you're doing.
I don't understand, Tim, You, you supersonic.
And Tim goes and it rings out throughout the room.
Oopa saves as expected, and just out of spite shoots one pie
towards Vennett. Vennett does not save.
Vennett gets pied in the face. It's like a banana cream pie.
Vennett looks very silly and all of his compound eyes are covered
up. He can't see and he takes 14
points of pie damage. What so much pie damage?
Calvin runs over. He's like Tim.
No. And he starts like, trying to
brush the pie off of it. Bennett's face and Tim's just so
sad. Great.
We'll move on to Schmidt. You and Quacko are in Melee
range. We are in melee range.
Is there still fish beneath her feet?
There are fish and sausages. Fish, Are there cabbages?
Yeah, there's cabbages as well. OK, Quacko is going to pick up
two fish, and he's going to dual wield them like swords.
Great. He's going to go for a dual
wielding fish melee attack. OK, Schmidt is gonna pull back a
little bit, not much, like 5 feet, and he's gonna pick up
some cabbages and he's gonna dodgeball with the cabbages.
Oh, neat. OK, give me a improvised attack
from Quacko with either strength or Dex.
I'm assuming you want Dex? I think I want DC-15 for this.
Well, no. What's Huppa's armor class?
Yeah, DC-17 to hit that and then for you, just another.
I'll do the same. Just 1717 seems like a good
number you could roll. Twice it's 19 off.
I thought you roll twice, one for each fish.
One for each fish, OK, One of them's a 19 OK, and the other
one is Plus it's not enough to hit the DC.
Yeah, that's Quackos 2 attacks. And what does make it with his
cabbage? I have to cabbage attack too.
Okay, crits, crits. Yeah, yeah.
So that's great. This is what happens.
Schmidt conveys the. All legends.
Schmidt conveys the plan to Quacko, and they're just In
Sync. They are one and Quacko takes an
impressive jump and goes to smack Hoopa with the fish.
He goes first with the left fish and Hoopa sees the coming and
cackles and teleports to the right.
But Quacko is expecting this and smacks Hoopa right on the Ding
Dong forehead and Hoopa starts to it, gets knocked down, gets
smacked down towards the ground and Schmidt with his keen eye
sees this happening and throws his dodgeball cabbage to
intercept Hoopa and does so. Why is Quacko so sick?
It's just boffin people with fish.
Whacko dude, I'm telling you. Quacko Pecko.
Quacko, quacko. Let's see, Ellie.
Should we start digging into I'm thinking I'm thinking that we
need to start throwing some cupcakes.
I just I feel like that's where this is headed.
So my idea was bubble gum is out.
Bubble gum has bubble pee, so we can use some bubbles to pick up
some cupcakes and launch them at at Hoopa is the plan.
Yeah, I, I was going to definitely.
We have to crack it open first. So I have to do that.
That's what was my first inkling with it, because I don't think
I'm launching the physical crate as much as.
I'm well, yeah, No, definitely. I forgot that.
Like just drop the host I. Was debating dropping the
payload but then like that's an all or nothing and like if it
fails then we lose like a lot of ammunition.
There's. A lot of cupcakes.
So I kind of want to keep the wagon.
It's good to have. It's a good wagon, yeah.
I mean the wagon will still be usable with a hoopa shaped dent
in it. It's not a Hoopa shaped dent.
I'm launching it with Toidal. It's going to be on.
Fire. It's just a couple frame marks
in a hoopa shaped dent. It'll be fine.
It'll. Be demolished but OK.
Instead of doing cupcakes then we I can have Paplio try and do
it with with cabbages perhaps? I mean, the ammunition's right
there. Got sausages.
No one's been can use these sausages.
Oh, sausages too. Yeah.
Can cabbage throw cabbages? She can try.
Can you assemble the sausages into nunchucks?
Going to say like a but yeah. Linked.
Cabbage is still 30 feet, right? That's like my other range.
Yeah, cabbage is. It'd be in melee range, yes.
I don't know that cabbage knows. You know what cabbage is an
extremely. It is an.
International super spy This is also.
Known as a improvised weapon attack, which every character
can do. Cabbage is going to pick up two
sausages. And.
Attempt to fashion them into nunchucks to try and attack.
So she'll like keep the link then?
Yeah, exactly. There you go.
Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, exactly.
It's already, they're already kind of nunchuck.
Yeah, they're sausage linked, Yeah.
OK, perfect. I.
Kind of want to look up like a nunchuck damage formula.
It's. Probably like an actual weapon
in DND. Right, it is.
It's a monk weapon. Yeah.
OK. Yeah, just a roll to hit Armor
class 17. I got 16 and I can't add
anything to this. No striped decks, striped decks
one or the. Other.
Oh yeah OK then I add my 1 of decks and that would be 17.
OK. Perfect.
So. In hindsight I probably should
have had should it roll damage too, but I will have you roll 2
D 8 + 1 and I think I'll do the same calc for Quacko but Quacko
gets 2 D 8 + 3 if you guys could give me that damage.
Then that would be 11 from cabbage.
Great. OK, it's 12. +3 right?
Yeah, 12. Sizable damage from from Cabbage
and Quacko so far this round. Hoopa gets smacked further and
further towards the ground and still just cackling because it's
all that he does. And in retaliation he will do a
mythical action and he will start shooting the pies towards
the game ahead of his turn. So everyone has to make a
Dexterity save and I'm going to put Quacko, cabbage and Jack at
disadvantage. Well, Jack just got 2 nineteens.
That's a dirty 21. Yeah, so really dexterous today.
Absolutely. Schmidt was feeling himself a
little too much from his dodgeball.
Yeah, of course, of course. I have, yeah.
Yeah. Got a little too lost in the
sauce, you know? Yeah, that's how it goes.
That's. About to get lost in the banana
cream pie filling, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All of us are going to be hit
with pies. I was I wrote 3 threes in a row
and I was like. What Trevor sure was.
As Hoopa uses some sort of mystical God like power to act
with crazy reactions that he probably shouldn't have, he
shoots a stream of terminal velocity pies.
They are steaming. They are in pie tins.
They are very hot and dangerous and possibly pretty tasty.
Waco, Toidal, Cabbage and Blueberry take 19 points of
banana cream pie damage. Schmidt and Gimli take 10 points
of Banana cream Pie damage as somehow driven by a magical
force, pretty much hit all of their targets in the face.
Yeah, I was like, I felt, I was like, wow, this is weird that
we're getting thrown pies out. I was like, have I gone yet?
Yeah, you have. You're going right now.
OK. You and Toidal are pied right in
the face. Yeah, it's kind of tasty, but
you also it's it's clouding your vision, so.
Well, I will. I will clear it and then eat the
pie. OK?
It's great. Take that and it is delicious.
Yeah. And I think turtle's gonna do
the same. Cuz.
Just peas. Yeah.
Or those. Eyes are basically always closed
anyways, so. It works, yes.
It's just like, well, total's just going to move unrestricted,
like not carrying the the wagon forward, try to move closer
because we're looking to set this up and probably be a little
bit closer. I already consume my action, but
I can just move with the wagon. Is that?
Possible. You can move, absolutely.
OK, cool, cool, cool. So I'll just move directly
closer to Hoopa in general and I can't take my action but.
What's the total's movement speed?
I think total only goes 15 feet. OK.
And you're, I'm assuming you're going to go 30 and pull the
wagon. Yeah, OK.
Yeah, that happens. Does Trevor do anything?
Trevor's gonna probably go the same length this toy, because
I'm pretty sure Trevor's 15 feet too, I think.
Trevor's a little faster. Might be, maybe it's 20 or
something, Yeah. But yeah, move maximum speed as
close as possible to the wagon to get ready.
I'm keeping track. You are 45 feet away from Hoopa.
OK, Sandy. All right, am I close enough to
the? Oh wait, before I stop, can I
bring Lebowski out? Is that possible?
Sure. Yeah, you can do that with your
eyes closed. That's fine.
OK oh I wipe the pie off so I guess my eyes aren't that close.
Yeah, but you know what? I'm saying yeah, yeah.
Yeah. All right.
So, Cindy, is Cindy close enough to the wagon package situation
to open it up? Yes, he has to make a pretty
easy strength check because it is sealed in packing tape.
Oh come on Cindy 6. Can't really drive her nails
into the crease where the tape is covered unfortunately.
It'll be Can Jack try to open the the package watching me
struggle. Jack is right by Hoopa, I don't
think. He OK, so Jack is not near
enough to me. Yes.
Oh no. You have loosened it.
It'll be easier the next time you do it.
Remember, these turns are all happening in a matter of
seconds, so. Yeah, OK, so Jack, Jack's going
to try and bite Hoopa. OK, roll a bite.
There's an 11 on the dice plus 4/15.
Jack lunges forwards to bite Hoopa, who's now pretty close to
the ground. He's just five feet off the
ground and Hoopa just phases, just completely disappears and
then re operates on the other side of Jack's bite.
It's now Hoopa's turn. Time to launch the ice cream as
well as the potatoes. The potatoes look pretty heavy
again. Everyone has to make Dexterity
saves, so Schmidt, Gimli and Ality take 12 points of damage
from potatoes right into the gun, into the head.
It's a lot. Not again.
Schmidt died. Schmidt didn't die.
Schmidt isn't dead. Schmidt.
Has 20HP. Yeah, Schmidt is 10.
Plus, OK, Schmidt has -2 HP. -2 is fine.
You're only worried if you hit -20 Schmidt gets knocked out,
he's on the ground. Mine, Wacko Total and Trevor
take 18 points of food type damage.
All right. Well, total's knocked out, so I
guess it's a recall. Or you could leave them, but I
wouldn't recommend that. I'm going to recall, yeah.
OK, yeah, you recall Total Hoopa loves this.
Lopa is so thrilled that he managed to knock out a person,
and a Pokémon is having the time of his life.
He is inspired by this to swing another Psychic fist towards
Jack, and he misses. Look at that A7 on the dice.
And despite his plus three, I don't think A10 breaks Jack's
armours class. No.
Great. Yeah, he swings a slap towards
Jack and Jack leaps out of the way nimbly.
Very nice. It's getting a little more
serious. What's gonna happen?
Calvin's up first. Oh, yeah, I forgot.
Yeah. Venonat gets knocked out, too.
Venonat just gets smacked right in the face.
Yeah. And Calvin's like, no, Tim.
And he's just hugging A limp Venonat and doesn't recall him
And. And Calvin is just crying.
And that is Calvin's string on the initiative.
It's Quacko. OK, so Quacko's just going rogue
now. No instructions from Schmidt.
Yep, I think Quacko would drop the the fish gimmick and just go
straight back to to to sword in it.
OK smacking him around with the sword.
I think Quacko is going to go for a fury attack.
Oh I'm a dumbass. Hoop is a ghost type.
I I'll I'll let you take an aerial lease, but that can't
crit. No, I think Fury Attack makes
more sense. I don't think Quacko by himself
knows type advantages and disadvantages.
OK how? How does Quacko perform fury
attacks? Like title or something.
It's with the sword. He's like stab stab stab stab
with the leak. OK, I'm going to have you roll
your damage because the leak is in fact a food item.
Oh OK, been a hot mess. If you use this move, yeah, so
you're going to roll AD 4 and add 1 and that's how many times
you hit and then you roll your damage for the number of times
that you've hit and then we'll double it because it's a crit
because of your passive. You are.
Flanky one D 4 + 4 Jesus is a lot of dice.
OK, I have 5. S 36, 36.
Yeah, that's a big hit. The huge hit.
Yeah. Quacko is a little shaken up by
the fact that Schmidt just got conked in the head with a potato
and goes for the smack of the Fury attack with the leak.
It's Hoopa in the back five times.
It's nasty. Hoopa doesn't like it.
Hoopa stops giggling for a second as 36 points of of Fury
attack leach damage comes through.
Truly furious. Your turn.
Nicely done. Did Gimli remove the cupcake
package from the wagon? Not yet.
It's not my turn. Not yet, right?
I did. I wasn't sure if that was
something that happened last year.
Yeah, I was only able to move and clear my face so.
And I tried to open it so it'll be easier to open the box.
My instinct would be to try and get Schmidt's unconscious body
out of the way, but I am not the strongest so I'm not sure.
You know what? I'm I'm unconscious.
I'm not going to say anything. I think moving a limp Schmidt is
ADC 12 strength check. OK.
I think Elodie will still try it.
OK, OK, 19. Yeah, you do it.
You wrap there and you grab him by his shoulders.
Where are you going? To put him behind the pillar
that what's the kids name Alvin Calvin behind the pillar that
Calvin is also behind. Great, you do that.
Calvin's just crying and holding his limp thenanet and you pull
Schmidt back there behind the pillar.
You like lean him up or you lean him on his back, on his side.
What are you doing? Put him in the recovery
position. Yeah, what's a good, I don't
know, I feel like might have some knowledge of recovery
positions, whatever, won't make him die.
Yeah, he's, it doesn't look like he's like going to die
necessarily. He might have a concussion, like
there's a little bit of blood, but he's like, he's not pale.
He's just out. He got hit by a potato, he's not
going to die. Yeah, well, yeah, I just, I
don't want to cause him anymore. I want to see a potato but like.
He's already died once today. Guys like He'll.
Be all right. Yeah, he'll be fine, whatever,
whatever position, I guess. I don't know.
Recovery position. Yeah, out of side.
There you go. I I think that is the way to do
it, honestly. Yeah.
If someone's stalked out, that's a good position.
Cool. LED does that.
LED Lee Schmidt on his side with his his leg facing upward,
slightly bent to support his body.
He has his arm bent to prevent rolling over, and his mouth is
slightly open so he can breathe. It's very good.
It's very professional, very nice.
Cabbage or poplion? Like some sort of yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Actually, I think I'll I'll have cabbage is going to start
needing some draining kiss, perhaps HP.
So I think we'll go for a draining kiss.
OK, drain kiss into Hoopa. Roll it.
Let's. Go nice 18.
Cabbage floats on up to Hoopa who is furious looking at Quacko
who just smacked him in the back a bunch of times and goes up and
just gives a little smooch on the cheek and roll your damage
for that. Should be a nine. 9 Great, yeah
9 points of damage, a nice little smooch, and cabbage
recovers 3. Should be half, there should be
4/4. Recovers 4.
I was like round down, of course, and then I rounded down
too far. Hoopa blushes a little bit.
He's still a dickhead. His face was red because he was
mad at Quacko. Now he's blushing like a little
smile, and he's still laughing, of course.
Flattery. Jotting that down.
Gimli. OK, so we lost total, so the
full launch plan isn't as doable, but Gimli's going to
crack open this box. We're getting this food fight
turned up. All right, give me the the the
strength check. All right, big time.
It's strength time. Oh Navy 3023 yeah.
Never seen the lid fly off. Gimli just peels it open.
Cindy definitely loosened it. We'll say Cindy loosened.
Sure. That's yeah, that's exactly
what. Happened and the top fly that's.
Actually, what Gimli says to Cindy as he like, he's like, oh,
you loosened it. Thanks for loosening this for
me. And there you see one dozen
gross swirl X cupcakes. They are all pink.
They all have that stupid swirl X smile on them and they're and
it's like nice and swirly as you would expect, the frosty on the
top. They look really sweet.
And surprisingly, despite all this chaos they've been through,
they aren't particularly smushed.
So because I know I'm throwing these so it becomes a dex check,
but if I throw them in volume to make it harder to dodge would it
be a strength based one? You let me see range checks.
They just are. That's just.
How? Just in general, no matter what
the volume. Yeah, you could grab a bunch and
smash them into Hoopa, but. That's true.
I don't think I can allow a strength checks for improvised
range to tech. Right, that's fair.
So I think me and me and my little little squad, although
Trevor isn't very good at holding cupcakes, but that's why
we got Lebowski with actual hands.
I guess me and Gimli and Lebowski will each try to take a
tray of these cupcakes and just like smash them into Hoopa
directly. And I think Trevor's going to
try to, Trevor's going to harden up to try to become like another
pillar effectively so people can actually like try to hide behind
him for a particular protection. OK, he's.
Going to yeah. So he's going to lock it himself
with Harden. He's not as tall as any of the
people, but you could like kneel behind him and have.
Cover right, right, right, right.
And you're going to walk your full distance or run, I suppose
you were 4045 feet away, so you're still 15 feet away after
that movement. OK, so I'm going to be still
hold, like am I arranged to do the melee attack?
No. OK.
Yeah, 15 feet too far. OK.
Do you take the wagon with you or you leave it down there?
I think we'll take the wagon, yeah, to the center, hold for
everybody to start, like bombarding with cupcakes.
OK, awesome, Cindy. All right, Cindy's going to run
up and grab some cupcakes, OK? And try and throw them from as
close as she can get. OK.
Yeah, you are at about the same position that Gimli is and
you're going to go for a throw. Let's see, roll AD 12 and that's
how many cupcakes you can fit in your arms. 11.
Wow. Yeah, you are holding a whole
bunch of cupcakes. And you can.
So she picks up, I imagine her like picking up a like carton of
cupcakes and one falls out as she's picking it up.
So she's like throwing the whole carton but it only has 11 in it.
Yeah, that's probably it. That sounds.
That's that's how I imagine that.
OK. And then let's see, I think
rolling 11 separate checks isn't the way to go.
So let's just roll like one check and then based on the
amount of cupcakes that'll adjust the damage.
That's still. OK, that's a 12.
Unfortunately, Cindy's aim isn't very good.
We're going to have just one of these cupcakes hit Hoopa, which
is a little generous because his armor class is pretty high.
Roll 11-D85. Hoopa takes 5 damage.
Interestingly, as he's constantly like kind of phasing
in and out as like as an evasive maneuver and just because he's a
ghost and that's what he does when he phases out, the cupcake
splattered on his face remains. Is Jack still close enough to
try to like in melee range? Jack is in melee range and in
fact he's flanking right now so he gets advantage on.
Attacks all right advantage so I can roll twice yes All right so
Jack is going to try to do a fire Fang.
OK OK so an 18 was my because it's 14 + 4.
Which is my better role? Yeah, 18 will hit while Hoopa
has generally only been taking damage from food.
Jack leaps up and noms Hoopa right on the ear where he got
pelted with Cupcake, and Hoopa takes a significant amount of
damage. Jack is feeling a little fired
up. I want you to roll another Fire
Fang. Is this his advantage as well or
no? Yes.
No, it does not hit it. Doesn't hit.
Tragic. I got a three and a six.
Even with the four points, it does not hit.
Jack's mouth is just flaming. He has had a really stressful
day, he didn't think he'd see Cindy ever again, and he has so
much contempt for Hoopa. Currently his smile is getting
bigger, but his eyes are still like, angry.
It's Calvin's turn. Calvin has laid Tim against the
same pillar that Schmidt's on, and he has rushed over to the
wagon and he is eating a cupcake while crying.
Eating a cupcake. Yeah.
You're eating a cupcake at this time.
I understand it's tragic, but you have to do something.
Roll an intimidation. Intimidate the crying boy.
He's. At 11, yeah.
Yeah, you yell at Calvin and he's just crying even more and
just shoveling his mouth full of cupcakes.
Not even mad at him, keep crying.
Coward, quote UN quote. Schmidtster.
He's a. Child.
Quote UN quote, Schmidt's turn. Yeah, OK.
He put us through the rigor earlier.
I don't care about it being a child.
Quacko in a primal rage. Maybe not a primal rage, but
just on instinct. Would like to initiate duck
finals. Oh, OK.
Forgot about duck finals? Yeah, but let's do let's do duck
finals. So.
Opposed dex check. This isn't mythical Pokémon,
it's got pretty good decks. Tell me what you get.
Oh shit. Have to be rolling OK.
Oh God. Math 18, Dirty 18.
Yeah. Hoopa got a natural 18.
Fuck. Hoopa is going to get a free
attack into Quacko with a psychic slap.
Oh fuck, see it? That one's pretty bad.
That one's only 12 points of psychic damage.
Quacko really, really tried. But mythical Pokémon are kind of
crazy though. Yeah, it's not loses his action
next turn though, it just loses his.
Action just loses his action. Yeah, I'm so sorry, Quacko.
It was cool. Schmidt has been stabilized.
He's been put in the the stable position roll ADC 10, just
straight D20. This is a death save.
Kind of, but not really 'cause you're not taking damage.
I just got a straight 10. Yeah, straight 10.
Cool. Schmidt feels consciousness
slowly coming back to him, but nothing happens.
That was Schmidt's turn. Now it's LED.
Since Senspiration is a bonus action, can I still only use it
like once per turn? Yeah, it's, but you can use it
apart from your regular action like an extra thing you can do.
Yeah, I'm thinking of sending some senspiration to Quacko, at
least to start things off with. Sure.
What does it smell like? I, I think probably like like
Schmidt's, what was the Cologne that we decided that he wears?
Versace Cologne The. Versace Cologne to remind him of
his trainer. That's amazing, how how much
dice does he get for that? 1D6. 1D6 Bacco gets 1D6, an
inspiration to use whenever he wants on any role.
OK, I can. You know what?
I think we're going to go for a sweet scent with cabbage.
On to Hoopa. OK, here's me Safe Hoopa gets a
crit fail Hoopa. Hoopa is going to use his
mythical resistance to shrug it off.
That's his only one. What?
Fuck you, guy. Mythical Pokémon we're dealing
with, guys. It won't happen again.
OK. Usually called legendary, but I
was like this is Hoopa. It's a mythical resistance.
Yeah. Can I use like have bubble gum
use a move as like LED's? Sure.
I am going to go with a bubble beam from bubble gum.
Are you sending bubbles or are you sending cupcakes in bubbles?
I'm sending cupcakes in bubbles. OK, I'm gonna have you make a
really easy dex check to see if Paplio can figure out how that
works, and then I'll have you roll the attack.
We got a 10 on the dex check. That will do it.
It was an easy dex check. So Paplio does that thing where
he sprouts out bubbles around individual cupcakes and then he
shoots them off. So do I do like the roll?
The hit? Yep, let's go 8. 80 No, some
some bubbles full of cupcakes are just floating over towards
Hoopa, but they're going so slowly, Hoopa can easily just
operate in and out of existence to dodge them and they don't
connect. Very sorry.
It's good thing is you probably won't run out of cupcakes, so
that is a good news. Yeah, we have so many cupcakes.
Gimli, what are you doing? As the plan was last turn, I'm
going to move up towards Hoopa as both Gimli and Lebowski and
we're going to take our trays of cupcakes and try to smash them
into Hoopa. Great, give me strength attacks.
Yes. So Gimli, that's a no go that
does not hit. Surprisingly, it's only a 10 and
then Lebowski did not much better.
So that is not enough. Cool.
No hits. Emily and Lebowski with arms
full of cupcakes go to smash them into Hoopa and Hoopa
apparates and they smash cupcakes into the ground
unfortunately and their hands are all covered with cupcake
totals knocked. Out like simply.
What's Trevor doing? So I guess you would go for
still a rock blast from a distance at this point.
Rocks are not food. Rocks are not food, but I don't
think I'm Trevor's close enough to put cupcakes on the rocks as
he fires them, so if he got a nutty.
Also, wait, not saying it's the best thing.
How? Does how does frock blast work?
Like does he shoot it directly out of him?
Like could I like take food from the could try to take food from
the ground and use them like a rock blast?
I don't. I don't know mechanically.
He's like, he's like an earth Bender.
Earth benders can't bend cupcakes, you know, So I'm gonna
say no. That's.
True. So because he summons the rock
particles and then revise them, you know?
Summon the rock particles under the fish and launch rocky fish
at Hoopa. That's what I was thinking.
I was like, can I sum of the raw particles from underneath the
food? Like not, not cupcakes, but
like, there's still so much food, like just absorted foods.
OK, yeah, I'm, I'm. Participating in the food fight.
I like seeing cool shit happen, even if it's improbable.
So yeah, we can just kind of like Paplio.
Did you have to make a dex check to see if Trevor can figure out
how to put the fish? You're going to do the fish of
the cupcakes. Probably just assorted foods on
the ground, not the cupcakes. OK, so just like Rocky food
balls full of cabbage, potatoes, cupcakes.
Etcetera, Yeah. OK, yeah and yeah, make a make a
dex check. A12.
Yeah, that barely meets the DCI head, so launch, launch, rock
blast and see if they hit. OK.
And that's a strength on Rock Blast, right?
That's a little less scary. Not 20, OK?
Like, very much less scary, OK? Cool, yeah, roll the roll the D4
to see how many times you hit and then roll the damage.
I hit a. 4 You hit A so you rolled A4.
Yeah, I rolled A4 for the SO. You hit five times?
That's stupid. Roll your damage and double it.
11 plus the D4, so 15, say 15 and then double it so 30.
Yeah, it's a huge hit. Bupa gets blasted by rocks, they
the rocks connect with Hoopa and they explode into food.
Hoopa is clearly taking damage. He looks bruised as a much as a
ghost can be bruised. Some of his rings, the one
around his torso, is cracked a little.
Cindy's going to throw more cupcakes.
Let's do it. Do I have to roll to see how
many I can hold this time? You got to pick him up again so
you are like in between Hoopa and the wagon.
So within your thirty few movement you can easily go grab
some and then go back into a throne position.
But if you want to melee, it might take a little bit more
work. And I'll throw them all right?
Cindy's holding 8 this time. OK, 17. 17 meets the armor class
of Hoopa. You connect, roll 2D20.
Well, I got a Nat 20 the first roll.
Geez, OK. And then I got a four the next
one that's. Fine, because that's like your
damage and then what's? And then what's your next mod?
+1. OK, so 25 points of cupcake
damage. Cindy got her arm back.
She's just throwing them out one after another.
Eight cupcakes smack into Hoopa perfectly, but on Hoopa is now
like covered in cupcake. All this frosting and cake and
you you basically just see like a cakey monster with two arms
and no body and just like a a grinny toothy smile, like a
little tuft of pink hair from the top of his head and you see
no other discerning features. Jack has an attack.
Yeah, we're gonna do some fire Fang.
OK, let's see it. Oh well, I rolled a 19.
You rolled a 19? OK, roll it again.
Just for and then on a natural attack roll of a 19 or 20, the
target is burned and flinches. Yeah, yeah.
So that happens. How much?
HP does Jack have too? I'm just trying.
To see if he's employees. Jack has I believe it's 10 HP
left. Out of what?
28. Oh, he doesn't play son.
Yeah, 'cause it's 25%, is it? Is it 25%?
I think for D&D it's 25%. Right.
Yeah. That he's not arranged, then
he's very. Close he's.
Very. He's just out, Yeah.
Yeah, an incredible fire thing comes out, burns Hoopa, flinches
Hoopa. He cringes with a smile.
Roll the damage on that. 8 + 311 if.
You had a leak. It would have been a crib.
True. Wield.
They leak. Yeah, yeah.
But the burn in the flinch is pretty good because that's
constant. Yeah, that's damage.
Overtime. Hoopa is very beat up.
Hoopa is not doing well. You wouldn't be able to tell if
he just looked at his face because he's having the time of
his life, but his body is is close to giving up.
One might say. That's it for Sandy's turn, it's
Hoopa's turn. Hoopa wasn't preparing any food
items this go around. This time, just while laughing
to himself, he pulls 2 rings out of his little ear horns and he
throws them. He throws 1 towards Jack.
He throws another towards Elody. I need saves from Jack and
Elody. Jack got an 18.
OK. 13. OK, let's start with Elody.
Hoopa throws a ring towards Elody.
It slides along the ground and expands and expands and it opens
into a portal. Elody falls through.
She arrives in the kitchen of her bakery.
She gets plopped down. She peers around the corner and
she sees her manager, Antoine, doing some paperwork.
You attempt to do anything for a brief second class here.
What do you do? Yes, Antoine, what the heck are
you? Did you do the cupcakes that
we're sending sent us? I'm just going to, like, start
rambling. So you won't have time to get
out all the words. You do see Antoine turn around
and he's like, what's What is the the French word for what?
He's he he turns around, he's startled.
He's like, you know, and then and he and then you fall back
through the portal and you land back in the ziggurat and you
take five points of falling damage.
You definitely you didn't quite get eye contact with Antoine,
but he definitely heard you and he is startled.
I mean, you don't know that because you don't see him, but
you definitely caught him off guard.
Jack. Jack falls through the portal
and he's he nimbly kind of like he's dodging it.
He's trying to jump around. He gets sucked through, but he
doesn't get teleported very far. He gets teleported right above
Hoopa. And I'm going to give Jack an
attack of opportunity as he's falling.
It's going to be kind of hard roll an advantage fire thing.
And in that one, the nine all right, for his iPad at.
Math 13. Yes.
All right, Jack takes the opportunity of being sent from
above to try and attack Hoopa, but he just kind of flops onto
Hoopa. He doesn't manage to actually
get attack off. He managed to not get hurt from
this interaction, which is very good.
Calvin leaves Venonat on the ground unconscious and continues
eating cupcakes. Schmidt Wacko.
I guess what I should say, what about Schmidt?
Schmidt can roll AD 20, BC 10. Just trying to roll AD 20 and
rolls A2. All right, it does not make any
closer steps towards consciousness.
What does Quaco do? Like 2 fails on a death save or?
You're trying to get to 3. It's fine.
I don't think we have a healer in our party or anything.
What does Quaco do? I just rolled the D20.
What did I roll? The D20?
What does Quaco do? Quaco's still just going to keep
whacking them with Fury Attack I guess.
OK, let's see it. 4 was that number getting 17 hit.
That does hit. 11 + 415. All right, Lupa takes 15 points
of damage as Quacko whacks him over and over again with the
leak. He is messed up.
He doesn't have much left in him.
He's grinning, he's laughing, he's having such a good time,
but his body is not taking this very well.
Can LED finish this off? Can she?
What a wonderful question. We don't know.
Let's find out. Another cupcake bubble beam from
bubble gum. OK, you see 10 decks to get the
cupcakes in the bubbles. Well, we got a 7, so not going
to be that. OK, you can still get cabbage on
these. Oh, I can't.
OK then I'll still shoot the bubbles.
Let me roll the head on that. OK, nap 20, what is going on?
Tonight rolls. It seems like the parts are
sapping. Away.
Oh my, good rolls. It seems like the parts of Hoopa
that is now his entire body that are covered in cupcakes are
vulnerable to regular attacks. This whole fight he's been kind
of like phasing, like a ghost, but the moment he got hit with a
cupcake, he became vulnerable to attacks in that spot and now
he's completely covered in cupcake.
How do crits work with with damage rolling again?
You double your damage at the end.
OK, so I just roll right? Just one D10.
Oh no, we we're doing the doubling for the Fury Cutter.
You roll twice, you roll your damage twice.
It's Fury Attack and Rock Blast is really hard to roll your
damage twice, so we just doubled it.
But for this, you're going to roll your damage twice.
We got both damage. Are you in torrent?
No unfortunately. OK, Lupa gets blasted with the
bubbles and he is probably one hit away from unconsciousness.
He is grinning. The bubbles have splashed some
of the cupcake out of his face and you can see his eyes.
He has like a black eye and he's just chuckling, floating above
the ground. That's it, That's all the
description. I know you want more because I'm
hearing, but that's it, a cabbage to do something.
Cabbage. Let's go.
Cabbage in cabbage draining kiss another death.
Yes, do it please. All right, we're going to try.
We're going to try. If not, Gimli is always there.
OK, Well it was a 7 so. Yeah, 7 doesn't do it.
Cabbage goes up for the smooch and just connects with cupcake
and she just eats some cupcake instead.
That yeah, that seems like something she would do.
Yeah. Gimli.
Trevor's going to go for the head butt and Lebowski's just
going to go for a classic spark. Nice and easy.
OK. So let's see, there's Trevor for
hit. Trevor got a dirty 22, so that
definitely hits. Yeah.
And that is 1D1212 damage head butt.
And we get Lebowski. Yes.
So Lebowski, Lebowski crit failed.
Great, OK, as Lebowski throws a punch wide.
Trevor went for headbutt, you said?
Yep, we're just going to describe this differently.
It would be a head butt. But Trevor launches himself off
the ground into the air and squishes right on top of Hoopa.
Hoopa lets out a delightful wheezy tackle and oops.
Slowly around you, you notice all the food items on the ground
begin to poof as well, and the temple begins to shake.
Calvin is still shoving his face full of cupcakes, but he's
scared. He's looking around like what?
What's going on? And before you opens a portal
that is horizontal to the ground and 20 feet in the air, Elodie
notices the scent of the shop of the bakery once again, and she
can hear muffled words of Antoine.
Roll a perception Elodie. Got you, got you.
Used the good die this time. Nuts.
That's the good die. It was not the good die.
It's not the good die. It's the six.
The Six. OK.
Oh, wait, No 8. But this probably doesn't
matter, Yeah. You can hear Antoine.
You can hear that he's very concerned and stressed and
confused. And then the portal closes, but
the ring remains. From under the portal falls
daintily a single piece of paper, and the ring drops to the
ground and it gets a crack in it.
A very small crack. The temple stop shaking and all
the food except for the cupcakes are gone.
A portal opens up beneath the cupcakes, swallows the cupcakes
in the wagon, spits the wagon back out.
Initiative is over. So we got a note.
And the ring. I'd have insanely curious about
this note. So pick it up.
I'm going to pick up the note. Roll AD 12.
OK, 11. Elodie has a signed check from
Antoine for $1100 as part of the delivery.
We're rich, baby. Next to the check is a single
gold Hoopa ring has a very slight crack in it.
Schmidt is no longer in danger, but he's still unconscious.
Like do like a cabbage like smelling salt situation and just
do like a really like very powerful scent under Schmidt's
nose. Absolutely.
Yeah, we'll make we'll treat it as an attack because he can't
save. OK, it was a the role was a 19.
Yeah, it's sufficient. It's pungent, it's spicy, and
Schmitz regains consciousness and is at 1 HP.
It's OK, I'm I'm at 2 HP. So like, we're not too
different, you and I. I mean, I wasn't -2 or so ago.
So we're kind of different. Well, that's a valid.
Also pre rolled. I sent Richie a message, I pre
rolled the next death save and I failed.
The combat ended so you're your head.
Hurts for sure. You might have a Schmidt does
not want to be conscious. Schmidt is also being a giant
fucking baby about it. Who put Schmidt in the wagon?
Yeah, I was going. To say, let's push Schmidt in
the wagon. Yeah, the wagon's empty.
We can push Schmidt. This is our.
Is it the wagon? You put Schmidt in the wagon,
Alvin looks around and he's like, I, I remember you guys, we
battled on that route with the one time, but but how are we
going to get out of here? I swear to God, when we get out
of here, I'm gonna kick your ass, kid.
Calvin looks scared. As he.
Should be. I'm gonna pick up the broken
Hoopa ring. OK, Yeah.
What do you do with it? Inspect.
It OK, yeah. Roll an investigation.
Done 15. 15 As you pick it up, it glows and it makes a kind of
sound and it latches right onto your wrist.
It is loose and dangling. It seems like it's floating
there, like your wrist is like a center of gravity.
Cool it. Has a small crack in it.
Well, I'm a little worried about that, but.
I'd be worried about the thing that opens up like space-time
continuums hanging on your wrist, but you know.
Yeah, I didn't want to touch it, but I was like, maybe this is
how we get home. But I.
Didn't, but I wanted to touch it.
But obviously, why did you? Get I wanted to touch it so we
have a dangly dimension portal device.
Feel like my head. Could fall.
And 1000, yeah, I mean the true like moral of the story is we
have 1000. Yeah, who cares about this magic
ring that could give us limitless amount of funds?
We got $1000 check. Actually, it's 11. 100, right?
It's 1100. It's it now.
It's the name. It's not technically yours.
It's LED. Yeah.
So I don't know, you guys might want to be real nice to me.
Oh wow, I'm. Just kidding, you guys will
we'll we'll split. We'll split.
It you've got to be all stingy with your money.
I don't. No, no, we're fresh.
I'm gonna die twice. You didn't die the second time.
You don't know that. I do because you were just
unconscious. Unconscious and dead are kind of
the same thing. But he's.
A little less permanent. That's like, you know, sleeping
and dead or they're pretty much the same.
OK, so going. To focus, focus our way out of
here. Yeah, what's our, what's our,
what's the room layout like? Like did anything else open up?
It's again I have a hard way of describing it besides like mossy
and looks like a Mayan temple sort of thing.
There are 6 pillars in this room.
There are no doors. Use the portal to get out of
here. I think it's a bit broken.
It's a bit cracked also. Don't know how to use it.
Yeah, that's true. Flaps his hands together and
focuses out a wall and he says hocus pocus, I'm doing a Moses
and then splits his hands apart, opening that.
Oh, the wall will open up and the door will appear.
Yeah, in fact, from the heavens Archaeus arrives and blasts the
temple open, and you guys can walk out through the temple that
way. No, it does nothing.
I'm a believer. I think Schmidt has a
concussion, yeah. You don't say?
Yeah, probably the smelling salts are not enough to get rid
of this concussion. It was a powerful potato.
Oh, all the food's gone. I was like, can I take some
sausages for the road? But I guess I can't.
Cupcakes. Are sold there.
No, they're cupcakes. No, they're.
Not no they. Don't have their minds.
I forgot about the whole. Thing.
So there's six pillars in the room.
Is there anything else discernible about it at all?
It's just the six pillars. Mossy Mayan temple, the whole
shebang. Yeah, you can roll.
Yeah, that's true. Sorry.
After Schmidt says hocus pocus from doing a Moses and nothing
happens, he crawls back in the fetal position back in the
wagon. Great.
Perception checks gang. Oh, right, Yeah, I can do it.
Yeah, it's like we should probably all collectively do
that 'cause I got a 5. So you guys?
Definitely. Do that.
I got a 19. Let's go.
My rules are either really fat or really good.
Cindy got a 17. You don't.
Have to just AD. 20 I rolled the two, whatever it was.
Seems in character. He's like, oh, look at the
inside of this wagon. It's enough wagon.
Are you, are you going to go to the door or no?
Cindy and Elodie take a good look around the room and there
are no doors, no windows. There are cracks in the
cobblestone where you can see outside.
It looks like it's about sunrise, and the air is like
weirdly not familiar. You.
Got a bomb? What?
You can blast a hole in this cobblestone.
Anybody get a bomb though? Like what?
You're a miner? I don't know.
Also, wait, you could dig. I.
Also, Elvis, 19, has revealed that the ring that is on her
wrist is slightly grooved, like it is aerodynamic.
Weird. So it can go very fast.
Amazing. So the rake can go really.
Fast, stereo, dynamic. I don't know what am I supposed
to do with this. We don't know yet.
It's fine. I think it's time to dig.
Yeah, might try to dig through some of the crack like I, well,
since we know there's some of the cracked walls, try to burst
our way out. I'm going to get my pickaxe out
and it's time for the the digging boys to get digging.
So I know Trevor's experience at this, but you know, Lebowski's
new at this, but Lebowski has access to roll out.
So Lebowski can just try to roll out into the wall.
Then Trevor. Yeah, Trevor's going to head
button to the wall and I'm just going to take my pickaxe to it
and we're going to start digging.
OK, yeah, roll 20 for all three of them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So for Gimli, Oh no Gimli, but
it's digging time. Did you roll your big dice?
I didn't roll my big dice. Hold on.
You're right. You're right.
Yeah, you can have advantage,
whatever. I didn't say you could, but.
Digging time, That was worse. OK, so Gimli gets a 12, Trevor.
Oh, Trevor destroyed. Trevor gets a 22, and then
Lebowski. Lebowski got it. 12 with that
one and even worse with that one.
So 12A Gimli, 12 on Lebowski and 23 on Trevor.
With Trevor's high roll, he doesn't manage to like dig
through the block. It's like as every block is
like, it's like a pyramid block, it's just made out of a
greystone instead of a tannish sandstone one.
And he managed to blast a single 6 foot by 6 foot block out of
the wall. You can peer outside and it
careens down for miles. You are very high up.
You're basically the clouds are right above you and you're on a
very steep face of a giant cigarette.
I don't think that we're in Hoenn anymore.
So we can't climb out. Man this fucks.
I mean, you can do whatever you want, no?
We all jump out and dive. Serious voice.
I cannot do whatever I want. Hey Magic Hoopa man, can you
send us home? Hey, my Hoopa, Mike.
Can we all just start yelling at Hoopa please?
We know that we hate you, but come back.
Do you guys do this? Yeah.
OK. Amit says magic Hoopa man, can
you bring us home? As you guys call it to Hoopa,
LED's bracelet glows. Sick.
Open a portal. Yes, just do that.
In front of a pokey pen. Is there like a movement, like a
dance? I don't know.
It's off your wrist. Hoopa.
OK, I'll can I take it off my wrist?
You can ring powers activate. And hold it up.
OK, you hold it up. It's still glowing.
I don't can. You toss it onto the ground like
sure, that way. I'll try to toss it onto the
ground to open a portal. Roll a Dexterity.
Amazing. Amazing.
Nat 20. Yeah, so LED takes off her wrist
and throws it kind of like a frisbee towards the ground and
it doesn't hit the ground. It bounces up via some sort of
magic and it turns into a 10 foot ring and it flashes purple.
And then all of a sudden you can see Route 110 of Hoenn.
Yo this rig is sick. I figured it was something like
that that you just make a portal but like.
All right, so we go through. You all go through.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
Can I go through I'll OK? Yeah.
I was gonna say Calvin, recalls Venonette.
And he scampers up. He hardly gets to the portal.
I'll go through last and as I go through I'll like keep a hand on
it so I can like grab it when we all go through.
Sure, OK, you do that. You all find yourselves right
outside of the house that you entered before all this madness
started. As the last person walks
through, about 10 seconds later, the portal closes and it slides
back onto Ellie's wrist and the crack goes slightly larger.
LED Roll AD 20 No. 15. The rain is still glowing, it
stops glowing and it settles on your wrist like a bracelet and
you're back on Hoe and Rat 110. It's about 7 PMI.
Think we should go back to the Pokémon center and heal and
sleep? Good idea.
Be closer. I wouldn't know that from not
having a map and also having a concussion.
Yeah, it's a good question. Is my while actually closer?
No, no, no. No marvel.
What the fuck is that thing that?
Doesn't happen. No, Schmidt sees it.
Only Schmidt sees it. It's a hallucination.
There's like this Peapod with like this giant fucking mouth
right there. I think you need to go take a
nap where we're going to go, we're going to get you some
help. He has a concussion, he
shouldn't be taking a nap. OK, nap time.
No, no, no, no, no. Stay out of the wagon, No?
No Does LD procure her map? Yeah, I'm going to take on my
map and look at it. Look at that.
Looking at the map, yeah, Slate port is slightly closer and the
path is also a straight line versus the path to mobile, which
is kind of a windy. Yeah, I think we should go to
Slate port perhaps. You guys pull the wagon, you
trudge towards Slate Port. It's not particularly far.
Can I get Cindy to make a perception check?
13. Cindy notices that Calvin is
just gone. Like he stepped out of the
portal and he ran. You don't know where he is.
He's he's doing something a. Little bitch is afraid of me.
She also notices Schmidt. Are you, like, sitting?
Are you lying down? He's like lying down, like half
fetal position, OK, You know, he's like holding his knees, but
he's like on his side. There is a small creature
sitting on top of Schmidt. What the fuck?
It's very light, it is slightly pinkish in color, it looks like
it's wearing like a blue hat, like with a pom pom at the top
and you see it from behind and it has really stupid looking
long arms. I hate them.
What is? It it's just chime.
Junior. Seems fine.
But. Not interacting with that?
No thanks. OK, it continues.
Problem. Do you do anything about it,
Schmidt? Quacko, use your diplomacy
attack. Roll Diplomacy for Quacko.
A9. OK, Quacko tries to be
diplomatic towards this strange pink Pokémon.
The the Pokémon raises its hands in a series of patterns and
Quacko just looks confused and they just set aside their
differences. They nod to each other and they
just both sit on top of Schmidt in the wagon.
Excellent. I guess just.
Fine. All right, You, you don't want
to cope with us, little guy, OK. This this little guy looks at
Gimli and opens his mouth and no sound comes out and he closes
his mouth and smiles. Oh great.
Well, I guess you're COVID then. Let's go.
And with that, the party is walking off into Slate Port,
hopefully to get some medical attention.
I think that's where we'll call it for today.
Thank you for listening to this week's session of Dunn, Sparse,
and Grandpa. This climactic battle with Hoopa
marks the end of Duns Sparse and Grandpa Season 1.
In the coming weeks, I'll be moving across the country and
the majority of us involved in this podcast are either students
or teachers. With piling responsibilities and
a family holiday arriving mid November, we're going to take a
break from recording while I sort out my new living and
studio situation. We are so incredibly grateful
for all the support you've given us so far and are so excited to
bring the party back as soon as we are able to.
Later this year, we'll still be around on Twitter and in the
Cali Rex Game Corner Discord server.
We'd love it if you stopped by and had a chat with us there.
Once again, thank you so much for listening and we'll see you
all next season. Food fight, food fight, boss
battle. Definitely something special.
Definitely should call this episode Food Wars.
Definitely should call this episode Fuck Hoopa.
And then, yeah, we're good. Or no, the Japanese name for
food wars for like. Shokugeki.
Called Shokugeki no Hoopa. Shokugeki no Hoopa.
Wait, I got to write that down.
