Hello everyone and welcome back to the 20 to one.
I am your dungeon master, Jordan McDowell.
Today we have. Sarah playing Alder the Gnarl
born monk. I am taryn playing Nibbles.
Yeah, you're that person, Barbarian.
I am Sam, actually. I'm treasure, I'm Sam playing as
treasure, and I'm a relic born sorcerer.
I'm Pum. I'm a harvest born paladin,
level 1 background. Call.
I'm the only level 1. We're all level 20.
I am Davian playing kid and I'm a harvest born Bard.
Oh. My God.
So it's called chemistry. We know what's going on.
So we are playing a module called Crooked Moon.
Karen found it, showed me, loved all of it.
So we're going to run it. It's going to go from 1 to 13.
If the players are filling, it will go from 13 to 20.
So we'll see how it goes. All righty, so we're going to
set off. Start off, excuse me everybody
roll D 20s and tell me what you get Nat 20 your character
includes. 11. 1316. All.
Right. So you appear and you see just
missed everywhere and if you look around you can kind of see
through your hands. Like everything about you just
feels off. And then roll me a wisdom saving
thrill. 18. Memory appears and flashes of
you getting stabbed repeatedly and then that memory just fits
instantly. Sick.
You don't know where you are, it's hard to understand what's
going on. But off in the distance you do
hear a loud train whistle. Who got the next size?
16 is. That the second ice, I think so.
OK, so same thing I just described.
And you see you can see through your hands for you, you know,
you can look over and you see something manifesting off the
side, but it's hard to tell what's going on.
But it looks very similar to you in structure.
Give me a wisdom safe. It's an 18.
OK, flashes of you walking through a vineyard.
You don't know whose vineyard it is, but then you just remember
bending down, grabbing something, and then next thing
you know you dropped. It's got the third highest.
Hide the lungs I need to. I rolled 11I.
Rolled 13. OK.
Sam, we talking? About you, Dad.
Yes, we did. I remember.
Bear with me. I'm very tired.
So it's the same thing I just described to them too.
You look through your hands, you can see just missed fog
everywhere. And then you noticed that there
are two other entities kind of similar you forming.
Give me a listen, say. 7. Your lungs fill with water and
you are in a desperate state right now as you were forming
it. Who's got the next you?
OK, so same thing I just described.
You see yourself pharmacy through your hands, blah blah
blah. You notice that one of the
spirits is kind of in duress, like the aura around it is off
and let me know when I'm safe. Hey.
You are experiencing tons of bludgeoning damage and then
there is a piercing feeling and you feel like you are bleeding
out even though there's no body. Darren.
So same thing, you notice all these spirits, two of them have
this weird aura about them. It's something's just off.
But the other two are kind of forming in same thing.
You look, can't see through your hands or you can't see through
your hands, blah blah blah blah. Can't get wisdom safe?
8. You just feel immense pain and
then it's just gone. But it lingers for you longer
than it should, longer than you expect it to.
So after some time passes, you all start to see like your
actual hands. You start to see your bodies and
manifesting. And you all appear into this
thick, thick fog. Fully manifested.
You are fully was not. Materialized.
Yeah, which one is it? Comporo or incomporeal,
Corporeal. Corporeal, Yeah.
So you figure fully Comporo and you look around and you see you
all. And also off to the sides, you
can see the same thing of these like ghostly aspirations.
Everybody, I guess you for doing introductions, of course.
My name is Nibbles. I was.
About to say I didn't think that's what he said before.
My name is Bob. So we we know at this point what
we are in this world. Yes, OK.
My name is Alder. Treasure.
I'm kid. That's nice to meet you guys.
What are we doing here? You said that we could see a
train coming. You hear a whistle, a train
whistle coming off in the distance.
Can we like take a look around? Yeah, that's a six, all right.
You see a lot of fog and you just see these green like faces,
bodies, no legs, just kind of like human disc abdominal.
For perception, I do want to say also by the way, we are 4 foot
tall David and I Anyone else is really tall?
Yeah. I rolled on that 20 OK.
Anybody else rolling there? Yeah, I'll.
Roll OK, I got 15. OK, so you hear.
The haunting tune of a lone fettle pierces through the fog
that surrounds you, harrowing the rival of a spectral
locomotive. A dark steel train bathe in.
A eerie glow emerges from the gloom on rails made of mist.
It's smokestack belches plums of ghastly blue-green smoke that
wail with the faces and voices of the damned.
The locomotive rumbles, squeals and creaks as it slows to a
hole, and a passenger car looms directly before you.
Well, do you guys think we should get on?
I mean, I think we have to go under the trade.
I mean, I don't know what else we would do.
The door opens and it says that's her or not.
He's with a wink. Sorry, I almost read that part.
Well. Do we have to have a ticket or
are we good to go? I'm.
Glad you said so as the DM. Please roll me a perception
check everyone. 16 OK. 15 OK. 7 All right 15.
OK, 8. All right, so the three of you
that rolled above a 13, you begin to pack yourself, whether
if it's in the jacket pocket, if your butt pocket, your side
pockets, doesn't matter if you don't have pockets, it's
somewhere on you. You feel a unfamiliar ticket.
I guess I did have a ticket all along.
Yes, I have one as well. I don't have any pockets.
I don't know where I got this I think.
It came from your stump. OK.
Well, now you too. It appears I don't have a
ticket. I got none.
Let's check in Oh. There it is.
Oh my God, this is here somewhere.
All I got is here something. It's right here.
OK, so on the ticket it trembles faintly in your grasp.
The words one passenger valid for a night of issue only gleam
and raise silver lettering. The man then sticks his hand out
and just for you to pass on the ticket.
Are you the conductor as well? Man of mini talents.
I'm just I'm. Just scattered on and I just
brought up. The train.
That guy is weird. Is the entrance to the train
human sized or is it like big enough so all of the big guys
can get in? It's 9 feet tall.
OK, good. We're good.
What's?
The name of this lovely express? This right here is the ghost of
our express. That's what I thought.
I know. Oh no.
No. No.
What are? We going, you're going to
Drunskin board. Where?
Is that drinks can bold? Could you use that in a sentence
the. City of drinks can bold.
You got that? I.
Don't know where that. Really wasn't a sentence, that
was a sentence fragment. Thank you tree man.
Just a fiddler, not one of them there speaking folk.
Was saying this is Sarah. Is that your?
Name. All right.
Is there anyone else on this train or is it just us?
So. And conducted.
So let me find my notes. All right, so you all walk onto
the train and you enter into the passenger car.
Everybody give me a perception or investigation check. 9. 4.
5/19 and. And that 20.
Nice. OK, so the cars, the passenger
cars filled with rows forward facing crackling leather seats.
Velvet curtains, one rich in color, hang faded.
Gosh, I hate the way they work stuff.
The Ghost Light Express lurches forward with two shorts.
Blasts from the train whistle followed by a screech of the
wheels. Sounds like the shrill note of a
violin, then the percussion chugging of the locomotive.
Moments later, the view of the windows on either side of the
car obscures shifting green. Smoke swims past the glass,
completely veiling the round beyond ghostly passengers right
peacefully seated on the tattered remains.
Once lavish upholstery, they simply look forward or out of
the window with empty eyes, ready to meet whatever comes
next. None seem to have baggage.
All right, so those of you that rolled above a 13.
As you glance around, you find a small jar of 12 glass marbles
tucked under a seat. What do we do with this?
That serves no purpose for me. I.
Start shrinking. Sounds like marbles hitting
glass. Do you might want to play
Marvels buddy? Yes, sure.
Did you win? Yes.
Good job. Can I try?
No. OK, you won.
Happy days. Looks so done all.
Righty. So like kind of like through the
vents you hear the vagrant speak and he says listen here to all
y'all is the train runs on the paints.
Those are the spectral ghosts that you see around you now.
Do not open the windows or the exterior doors.
Bad things will happen very fast.
Understood. Yes, of course.
Yeah. If you were lucky, maybe you
could see the Lord and Lady herself themselves, wherever
they are on the train, that is Philip and Adela Truskinvald.
Oh OK. So if you're looking to do any
type of trouble or anything, please steer clear for them.
Don't do that if you just want some nice conversation.
They're lovely folk. Thank you.
So yeah, don't break the glass. Seriously.
You seem like you'd be an issue. Why do I?
Seem like an issue. I'm just a scientist for rats
man. Watch more than I meet.
Yes, it gets a little big and angry, but it's not all the
time. Fox, The Nerve.
I want to agree with that one. You agree with this one or that
one, that one, that I'm a problem?
Potentially. I was just playing the marbles
with the pumpkin. I think he's fun.
Marbles could potentially break glass.
I don't I that's the one that I just am a a rat man who is here
to do some scientific research and that's it.
And we'll be happy if one of you 2 breaks the glass you.
Also wouldn't dump this. Don't forbid we play character.
Sorry we're. Role.
Playing. DMV.
If y'all, if at any point you want to, feel free to roll a
perception check. 1611. 14. 16 What else would you get?
15 OK, so you 2 notice just say as you're talking, just kind of
glancing around, one of the passengers just looks off.
Like as in ill or as in like just they look like suspicious.
All. Monitors we all look off.
I'm trying to find a photo. Of course, the one time I need
the photo, it doesn't show up. Technical difficulties.
Please give me a second. There he is.
Looks like this, just sitting forward, just hanging out well.
I don't want to talk to that thing.
He does look. A little off.
He looks like he would kill me. He looks like my kid.
Does he? He looked like a tree person.
He talks more. Specter.
I thought he was a deer. It could be many different
things. Does anyone want to go talk to
the man or do we just look at the man?
Hey, let's go ahead and talk to him.
Let's make good friends sounds. Good to me.
You all approach. OK, so one of the passengers
among the blankly staring spirit stirs.
It darkens to an inky shadow as it darts into the aisle.
It's humanoid silhouette, the picture I just showed you all
stands tall and gaunt with a head tilted to one side and
unnatural angle you see as crooked tendrils shoot out from
it like a gnarled tree branch and shatters the windows of the
car. Ghastly mist spills in around
you. One of the passenger Spears, as
you look to your left, begins to well out in paint.
Then it takes this benevolent, sinister form with a huge mall,
blocky teeth, a single eye and its head and two smaller eyes in
the palms of its spindly hands. A shrill train whistle
reverberates around you as the windows suddenly repair
themselves, the voice of the vagrant eminence from the
ceiling muffled and crackling. Can y'all take care of that?
This happened before and I'm a fiddler, not a fighter.
I guess, I guess we can fuel this thing.
This far. Time to weep.
It's weeping. Time.
Oh goodness. It's weeping time, OK?
Sorry, one second let me pull this.
So could we tell that he repaired it?
The fiddler, the window, or just repair itself, yeah.
You can assume that the Ghostline Express started to
repair itself. OK.
That's fancy on the wheels right there.
Oh. Good.
I've only ever had one vehicle before.
And it was a wheel. 19 OK. What's your character's name
again? Ken, OK.
I got a 22. OK, remind me your character's
name means. Alder OK.
All right. I got a six and nine nibbles.
Good job, dude. Thank you.
All right. 15. Treasure.
Is it 15? Yes.
What's your deck score? Two right now, yeah.
Oh, the score. Yeah, it's 2. 15.
OK, roll again. Plus my initiative.
No, just just. Just one.
OK, All right. 13 Palm palm palm.
Palm and Ken. 1513, Yeah, right in the right order, man.
I got you, Ken. Right.
Yeah. OK.
Starting at the top of the initiative with Alder.
I'm going to start by trying to root this man so it is ADC 9
strength. OK, so you're trying to grapple.
Yeah, it's a restrained feature. OK all righty.
So is this a spell? No, this is just one of my like.
OK, so as you go to send your however, how are you doing it?
I figure I probably just like root myself to the ground vines
shootout I can try and grab them.
As you slam your hands into the ground, you send the vines
forward. You notice that they're trying
to reach through, but they just go straight through.
Respectful. It is immune to being
restrained. Darn.
OK. Then I'm going to go up, I'm
going to hit once with my quarter staff.
Let's see, that's a 13 that. Hits.
Nice D6. So 6 damage that I'm going to
take my offhand that is a 17 and seven more damage.
Wait no I already did my go to second show.
Just the six. Just the six and then I'm going
to move away from him. OK.
So that's an opportunity attack. If I do it in one movement.
Yeah. If you move up and then move
out, you disengage. Do you still want to do that?
No. OK, you done.
I'm done. Can.
So I'm a lead with using a vicious mockery all.
Right. So it says you need to succeed
on a Wisdom saving throw or take 1D4 psychic damage.
And then it's your spell save is what it's against.
Which is 13. Yeah, fails.
So I'm good, OK. And then I'm going to swing my.
Sickle Island, do your vicious mockery damage.
Oh, that's AD four. Yeah, OK. 3.
OK. And then now I'm going to swing
my sickle. So I'm going to assume that a
six is England get past armor class, so never.
I don't know if you're able to cast a cantrip and attack.
I didn't know if maybe you got a speed or so.
I don't think you can, Yeah. So it's either one or the other
at this point. Alright, well hey, we let we let
up the first one, we're good. We have to go through all their
character sheets. Can't trust them.
So you see that the dark figure that broke all the all the
windows peers up behind. I'm 2.
Behind you. I'm just saying, I'm just
telling you what my number is so you can say it it's.
Going to make an attack on. You why I'm just sitting here
with all my vials. So did he move out of my range?
This is the other the other one. The other is.
Multiple. 19 an idiot. OK, real quick.
How many hit points does everybody?
Else I have 8:15 and I have the most I.
Have 11. 9 I had to change the dice because they got some crazy
numbers in here. Always all prewritten.
All right, You were going to take how much do you how much?
Hope you have 15. OK, so I had it on the plus too.
You're going to take 4 points of damage is he comes up and you
see a giant like tree in hand just kind of swipes through you.
You feel your life force move. I just think that's straight up
rude. Treasure.
OK, so I'm going to do Dance of Death as a bonus action.
Sounds cool. So I'm going to make ADC 15
charisma check. I'll do that before I.
Tell you, what are you doing? What are you doing?
They would have to do the DC. Oh yeah, yeah.
Oh, then it's ADC 15. Charisma check.
OK. What's the range it?
Doesn't say. There's a target you can see.
You know what, just for the sake of it, we're just going to keep
it rolling. So DC-15.
Oh, it's. A picture I don't know.
It's fine. DC-15.
Yeah, it's not OK. It's one fail and I believe,
Yep, both of them fail. Well this is as a bonus action
you can make ADC 15 charisma check and if if you succeed then
the next attack roll before the end of your turn has advantage.
So it makes me think I make it. OK, that's what it says and go
ahead. I said it's part of like the
relic born. OK portion I don't want to
listen. Disclaimer none of us knows any
of these like classes and feats and stuff.
It's all brand new. That's.
What I was doing because I thought that I took it.
Yeah. So we're going to be asking a
lot of questions, so bear with us as we get through this.
I'm. Trying to do my dance of death.
Oh yeah, it is. My sister just texted me the
exact thing that Taylor's been saying.
Oh man, the exact thing. Come on, Stretch.
Swell. You mean your dance of diff?
OK, OK, I passed it several 118. So the next attack roll I make
before the end of my turn has advantage.
Oh, and if I succeed, it's so. Weird.
Let's see what that is. And what's your class?
It's the sorcerer relic, Born blood, Crimson blood or
something like that. OK.
I mean, I I can see how that could work.
It can be advantaging spells, so.
This says if I succeed on the check by 5 or more, which I did
exactly 5, I can roll one of my hit point dice without expending
it and gain temporary hit points equal to the number rolled.
Wow, that's sick. SO1D6 Let's see.
Where's that make? Sorcerer's a decent still there
AD 8. So 2 OK.
And then. So then I'm going to use.
Where is that? We should probably pull up his
health bar. I don't.
Want you're in math? You're only level 1, you can
handle it all. Right, so I'm going to use blood
bolt or. Can.
You no Sorcerer's Burst is what I'm going to use.
Sick. So.
That's, I think that's a role to hit, isn't it?
And then you get to choose whatever.
Yeah, but I have advantage on the attack, yes.
So I need to know, are you attacking the?
One that broke the window or. Yeah, or the other spirit.
The one that broke the window. OK, what is the?
+4. Yeah.
So 15. And then choose what damage
you're doing. What does it hit?
Yeah, OK, I'm going to do lightning damage.
Go for it. 1 All that from one damage.
Apologize. That's crazy.
That is crazy. That's funny.
OK, Wow, I'm embarrassed. So what is What is it like?
What does all this look like? Paint the pictures.
What is the dance of death? Does lightning like?
What? What all does it look like?
I just go hold on a moment and I go and then just like 1 little
spark of lightning. Goes.
Down. You notice that as the lightning
hits it, it does trickle through its body, but it kind of like
disperses out real fast. It is resistant, but you did the
lowest possible. Damage.
And I can't take alpha point so I'm just going to take the full
damage. Nice.
Now you know for next time. Insanity.
Yes. Oh, let's see.
Oh, my turn as in the enemy's turn, 'cause I don't want to
hurt, I don't want to kill you guys.
Yeah. Sure.
Coming down you, Sir, since you're all up in its grill, I'm
rolling pretty good. I'm not going to. 810 points.
I will do my best. OK.
Let's see, you're going to take two points, OK, that's it's
palm, right? OK, so make sure I'm saying.
Right. Slight nod.
Yes. OK, do I call pulling first?
Which is whenever I do damage I can deal an extra 1D12.
This is from the This is the new book, so this is part of his
race. So he can do it as long as it's
on something that has been hit once.
Well, I so you still. Attack and then you add the D.
12 I think it's when I do damage because it says when that just
says when, when when damaging just a already like blood, it's
creature. When something's already been
hurt. All right.
Yep, it hasn't been hit once. And everything's been hit even
with one point of damage. 18 yes, that it's which one?
Which one are you attacking? You want on.
Huh. You got one on Sarah and one on
Tara, so. OK.
This will be fine. There's more range you'll.
Be change yet you'll be fine. And when it's my turn?
13 damage. I know it's.
What kind of damage is this? Yes, my side slashing.
Yeah, slashing. And then I'll roll that extra 1
and. That.
One's oh, and that's a that's 20, that's 20.
You rolling for the the calling damage, you know, Yeah, do.
You have to roll a hit twice. I thought you just added on.
No, it's still actually 1D12 of the product damage.
The I got to roll to see what I hit.
I don't roll to OK. I only roll for damage is what
it's looking like on here. Yes.
Yeah. It is just a damage, Yeah, yeah.
So you don't need to roll the hit.
Again, I know. He probably.
Accidentally rolled away. OK, he rolled.
He got D20 for some reason. Yeah, 'cause I was like.
You are level 1. You are not doing 33 points.
No, that isn't. 3. OK.
So total 16, yeah, yeah. All right, so fun.
At least necrotic, so maybe it could be.
Better you slash through it and it's barely hanging on nib.
So I scream out a video and I squeamish do not look and I grab
a syringe and just stab it into me and I go into a rage and I'm
going to grab my war pic and slam down on the one on me.
It's probably not going to hit 13 that does it.
OK, you've been surprised. What hits 8 damage?
We are back at the top. But thank you, we're back.
We're back at the top with an order.
Oh, I'm also 9 feet at this point.
I went from 4 feet to 9 feet. Jesus Christ.
We'll have a disadvantage because the ceiling is 9 feet.
07 feet. Sorry now.
OK. But 11?
That's right. 12. That it's.
That's OK. Five and then my offhand it was
an 11. To hit No miss.
OK, Five points of damage. Yeah.
How do you finish it? I literally just like quarter
staff over the hand. Sick.
It lets out a ghastly whale. Not that like a whale song.
We have Ken next. All right, so I'm going to be
going after then the one that is the one nibbles over here.
Nibbles juice. So.
That's gonna be a unnatural 20. I would hope that hits.
I will also be using my calling as well so going to be 5 damage
plus 38. To be an issue, yeah, for.
Real all. Righty, so yeah, turn around,
hit you. What's?
That face I'm looking. AT20I.
Think it was I'm. Looking at 20, I mean I'm.
Going to take 7 points of damage as it takes both of its tree
calls and crushes really hard on your head.
Who was that to? How much health do you have?
I still got 2 left. OK.
OK Oh my God. That's something.
If I did what they had me do, that would have put you down.
Crazy level 1. Yeah.
Why do you start with doing AD 12 of damage?
Insane. It's crazy.
All righty. Treasure your turn.
Dance of Death. The.
Treasurer did do another little dance for your listeners.
I did not pass so it doesn't matter.
So I'm going to it's your cool. Dance though.
I'm going to do my poison spray. So you have to succeed a
constitutional saving throw. OK, so you want it?
Yeah. All right.
It goes right through. It is immune to poison.
I'm sorry, Sam. No, I have to learn these
things. I know, do we?
Know. It's all good, you'll get them
next time. Let's see, you were gone.
Pum get my scythe. And try to hit this little
freak. You won't.
It is just one left now. Not hidden.
But you roll 5 plus. I rolled a total of 9.
OK, you were three off never known.
OK, that's palm nib. I'm.
Going to bash it hidden. From this. 11.
And this is yes, the whole time as you look at this creature,
it's just smiling like head cough like this.
I would have really liked to have a conversation, but it.
Bends its head all the way back like contorts it and it's still
just smiling at you. Anyone else want to kill this
thing? We're back at the top of the
altar. It's a 19 to hit.
Oh, that doesn't. Smoking.
That's seven damage. OK.
Offhand is 16 to hit. It's.
And and four more damage. OK, smiles as you beat into it,
Ken. I'll say so a lot.
Well, I'm going to use Cure Wounds on myself.
That's a good idea because I am dying here.
Are you using the new additions rules or the old additions
rules? Because I know you had mentioned
before. I have not had the chance to go
through, so for now we're going to do 5E.
OK, when I get a minute to read the players handbook and Dungeon
Master. OK, OK, I'm going.
To get 8 health back. Let's see.
So everybody's on it, correct? Yeah.
OK. All right.
I didn't think I was OK number. 1.
All my arranged. Coming down you can I roll
another 214? Does.
Not. Hitch loser.
OK, treasure. Did you just do that forever
every turn? Yes, you're not.
Allowed to do this. OK, it's pretty loud.
Man, I might have checked that because that seems a little pee.
Check it I. Mean, yeah, we're going to.
I'm definitely putting a limit. On it.
I didn't pass it anyway. It's OK.
So then I'm going to. What's what's?
Oh my sorceress burst 19 hits and then you're going to take 2
Thunder damage all. Right.
What are you laughing at? Am I not allowed to just be
happy? Sounds like you're.
Toying with me. If you want to make a roll,
figure out why I'm smiling, you can't give me a insight or
arcana. 12. For which one?
Insight. As the Thunder damage hits this
creature, same as the lightning damage kind of disperses out,
you notice it is resistant and you did one point of damage.
You just hit this thing like regular just over here.
Break dancing for no sake. We're just dying for our lives.
That's what's really interesting.
It's. Not.
Doing anything I'm dying over. Here, Tom, we're here.
What's pump going to do? Oh, it's my turn.
Yeah, I'm going to try to swing and hit this thing.
Oh, 15, it's sick. Where is my diet?
That's 14. 14 What? Damage.
How are you doing so much damage?
I roll 1D10. OK.
And then I roll A10 and my +4. Sounds good to me.
What weapon do you have? Side there is a long.
Sort of. Thing I'm going to bash its head
in again. Don't miss.
That's pretty cool. That's really cool.
That's going to be a 21 all right, 15 damage, maximum
damage. How do?
You do. I grab my war pick and just
start bashing it on this thing. All right guys, I need help.
I'll scream for help while this massive hulking rat.
Is your war pick for you basically like a toothpick?
Yeah, yeah, normally it's so when I'm big, it looks like I've
just got like a barely holding something doing.
This all right so as you finish this thing off you just hear it
goes. Are you still there?
You fools have no idea you just unleashed as that voice fades.
Mr. Fiddler. You all together.
What was that about? What was that about?
That shall he's still weird. You just followed Must a Misty
shout into the train with corrupt spirits.
Yes, but why did that one say that thing that said like
Vadnais was coming? Feel like that's pretty
important to teach The thing said.
It's going to be bad and worse. Maybe it was referenced in the
six hints aboard which are more prone to corruption.
The six what? Hints.
Hints.
Do I know what a haint is? Because you work around, you see
spirits haint. Haint, haint he.
Says that there are 6 aboard that are more prone to
corruption, which is dangerous because they are the ghost
trains fuel. Spirits are the ghost trains
fuel. You use so when you use them are
they just gone? Like are you killing these souls
for fuel? I won't question it it.
Is a long silence all right? All.
Right, it was. Anyway.
The Hanks must be released from the train before they can be
corrupted, either by resolving the unfinished business from
lifes and feathers them, or by destroying them if necessary.
Maybe you should have your guards do something about.
It it's the first time anybody this happened.
First time lucky us that. A soul has been corrupted.
No, no, no. No, that a soul is willing to
broke the glass. Usually the souls just get on.
There's usually no issues like that.
They never do that. They know they're repercussions.
So what would have cost him? This man is my.
Batman, that's gonna sound like you're your Batman.
Where is she? Where is the souls?
Where is she? Swear to me what really is So is
this the shroud missed that exist out?
So can I do a check about anything?
Like do we know how big of a train it is?
Like we're able to actually see. No, we're not.
And we don't see the the Lord and the Lady, right?
Nope. But we can't even go talk to
them though. If we come across them, yes.
All right. So do we get anything in return
or is it just that we live? Did you live?
That's what I figured. You want to end the ladder.
I would.
Love it, what are you saying? I'm also having.
I know in our clear voices. It makes me happy.
And he goes one last thing. Ain't no call to rile up the
Lord and the lady over scuffle. So please don't bring this up if
you see. 1 If there's a ghost specter in front of them, we're
not supposed to attack. But obviously this is in front.
Of. You dude, What happened here?
Let's keep it under. Wraps.
Should I know? Yeah, I was going to say
literally, I was probably. I feel like we probably got to
tell them first thing. I can't stop.
You like? What's the reason?
Why would you not tell them? Because they're having a
peaceful journey. But if it gets worse, if they're
the Lords, don't they want to know there's a glaring issue
we're dealing with? One more time they're enjoying
their travels. So if you could just not say
anything, that'd be. Great.
I'm not going to say anything, right?
If they ask you, I'm going to tell them.
Well, they call me Honest Nibbles.
How you got anything up? There.
I do out of character. Can you want me a perception
check? All perception.
Oh. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. 13 I
also got 13. That's funny.
Exactly 11/7. 11/7 What's your turn?
9. So the two of you that rolled
13, you know this whisk of ghastly blue-green mist shot
through with black roots, like veins lingering in the air.
Remnants of the clouds that billowed in the mist slowly
snakes forward and slinks under the forward best.
Festival. That's a deal.
Great little word.
I feel like we could have used anything else.
That's actually like the entrance to a place before you
actually enter the place. Big box like Moe's, Walmart,
stuff like that. Mr. Big Brains over here.
You know what? Can I appreciate it?
Thank you. Plus one intelligence.
That's the smartest we got. Yeah, it's the.
Smartest we got. Yeah, it's us too.
I'm. Just going to get fun facts this
entire session. So yes, you see that black,
blue-green mist begin to flow under the door.
Like going out, so I'm not Fanny.
I saw that, but there's a smoke, got in and then just went right
back out. I'm sure that's not a big deal.
And it's in the room or it left. No, it it came in when the the
guy broke it, then it just went right back out under the door.
Here. Well, let's say we go look
through the door. Investigate.
OK, you want me to open the door or what?
What are we going to do? It was the door to like, leave
the train, right? Or is it door?
Yeah, we don't want to open that door.
It's just like, imagine, like it looks like how another train.
Yeah, yeah. But don't we have light of the
Spirit? No.
So you're saying? It goes into a different car.
OK, Yeah, we're going to follow that.
OK. All.
Right, it's not our job. What's our job?
To ride the train. Well, he kind of said if we're
just going to ride the train, we're going to die, then let's
get off. I would love to get off, but
here, get off until we kill the spirits.
So we have to kill the spirits to live, to get off.
OK, that's how I talk at least. Let's go.
I'm lost. That's also hard.
Thank you, Treasure. You're growing on me.
OK, thank you. One day you can grow on me.
Oh, no, thank you. Like limps?
No. Oh, it makes sense.
Later I'd rather be, never mind. You actually have a musical
instrument. Yeah, I have a.
OK, let me come in handy way. So can we like look like do
investigation to see what's on the other side of the door if we
hear anything? Or do we have to just go there
to even see? Just go through.
Well, I guess I'll go fast the door.
I mean D6. AD 6 yes.
Sir. OK, four sick.
Mark. Yeah, it's the we just shot and
killed that goes Nibbles. I.
Can't wait to talk about the voice of the after hours.
Who said we were doing in Africa?
What budget? Cuts.
So if you walk in, you notice that this place is set up to be
like a dining hall. This is The dining car is
decorated with an eerie elegance, with plush velvet
booths, ornate brass fixtures and wax candles casting a dim
light in a mystical glow. The air carries a scent of
gourmet food through. The booths are mostly empty,
haunted only by faint traces of deceased diners.
Looks like we're home. So the dining car.
It just looks nice. Looks like a nice little house.
You're making your home here. So the dining car has six small
square booths that each seat four people along each side of
the dining car, as well as a larger half booth and chairs
that seats eight people towards the end of the car.
While mostly empty, occasionally the large spirits of souls
riding the train appear, sitting in front of the empty plates,
gazing out of the windows into the mist.
The large booth is always empty. I'll take a small booth please.
Booth for one What? You go sit down.
You don't want to hang out. They're going to help us do this
I. Gaze out the window.
Can I see what's out there? Mist.
Hey, if you want to roll, go for it.
I'd be afraid to. You.
Never know.
You never know. Maybe it's 2, not 20s.
No. What'd you get, 11 you see miss?
You said there was food there. But you have to take a seat
first. I feel like we have.
Hear me out. I feel like we have matters to
handle. Hear me out, OK?
Big booths empty for some reason.
It's always empty. That's kind of weird.
Yes, me apparently. It's when I'm.
Sitting in a. Small booth.
It's probably reserved for the Lord of the Lady.
Or they need a booth for eight people.
It's true there's like 2 of them.
I don't know. So can I look at the booth and
see if there's like any like reservation or if there's
anything like doesn't seem like there's nothing.
Is there anything I could roll with to like understand like why
it's just always empty like his? Like anything like that?
It doesn't specifically say like, there's no roles or
anything for that. It's just that it's empty I.
Think it's just hey party of players you can.
Sit here. I think we can.
If you ask me, I think we just do ahead take a seat together.
Except maybe that's why he wants to get alone.
Again, aren't we trying to stop the spirits?
Isn't that what we're doing? First of all, she.
Treasure involved? Are you thinking of any food
right now or drinks? How did you know?
Well, the DM had a lucky guess. Yeah, what is?
Ramen Martin. Sushi and rum.
OK, so words lead in your mouth, a plate appears in front of you,
and rum served in just normal glass.
Chalice or like a mug I guess. OK, so.
Yeah, give me like one of those like mug that looks like like a
barrel. Yeah, so that appears in front
of you. You see, You hear it fill up and
then a perfect place of sushi right in front of you.
However you imagine your sushi to be, it's right there.
Rolled. Smells divine.
I don't know what sushi smells like.
I don't eat sushi so can't smell sandwich sushi, but yeah, it
appears right in front of. You, gosh, you got to take a
seat. I don't sit, I guess I.
Don't actually have to eat. I think I.
Can. Delicious looks down just the
stick. In the ribs.
I take a sip of my rum. It's amazing the second it
touches your tongue. It looks like typically just a a
whiskey glass. So yeah, that's what you want.
That's what you got. Show me.
It's. Just a glass.
It's it's just like a bit short cylinder, like whiskey glass.
Turn your phone around. And I already closed it and it's
just a normal glass. It's a regular glass.
Can I remember if you open up a puffer in your cabinet, there's
a glass there. That's it.
Well, that's not what I. 11. You notice there's like faint
traces. Like like the trail of it.
Right. But it's hard to give an exact
like pinpoint because 1 you guys don't know how big the train is,
you don't know how like when it came through here.
Does it show me like where it's at least leading to like the
trails? Not, not from the way you came.
So it's still, but it's still going to like possibly to the
next guy. Which it'll make sense as you
guys explore the train more. But also with that, you notice
that there is a young boy sitting in a booth in one of the
corners. Let's see, he is wearing
overhauls and he's hungrily eating all manner of food that
he repeatedly conjures forth from long lengths of sausage to
whole turkeys, all while his face is whacked with guilt as he
tries to eat the feelings away. All right, it's time out here
right now. Last time we tried to talk to
somebody, that's on me. I'll own that.
They broke the glass and everything's hit the fan.
Yes. I'm going back to your
suggestion of let's just keep it going.
I see a trail things not in here.
I think we just keep it going. But again, aren't we trying to
cleanse the spirits? That's what I'm saying.
So it's. Not in here.
Are we sure? I just saw the residue of it.
It's not, it's not. It's not in here.
Well then, sure, let's keep going.
When that young. I thought maybe the boy was
going to be a spirit, was what I was thinking.
If you want to ask him, I'm not asking him.
I mean, he obviously has some sort of distress.
But can I do I see that like this boy just says a food that
he wants and it like a. Peers.
Yep.
I'm going to do that. Food or drink or both?
Sushi, chicken legs, chocolate, chocolate milk.
Well, it appears right in front of me.
Chocolate. Milk.
Gosh, you got to try this. This is.
Just Sam, just Sam asking. I'd like to imagine.
I start to try and do it and then I just make like a the
little water dripper from in the cages and I'm just sitting
there. That's so.
Funny, a chocolatey board of different.
Cheeses you have. To be sitting down, that's the
only records. That was I said, I was saying.
In the big booth, yeah. Wherever everyone else was
sitting, Big booth. Don't need it.
Anyone who's sitting at the big booth, you can do that and then
you off on your own. Yeah, that's right.
You are so OK. So do we all see this kid?
I'll go and talk to him then if I get jumped.
Help. The least charismatic.
I know I'm not. Have no charisma?
Yeah. Actually, I'm really good
charisma. I'll go forward.
You know what? I'll go.
We'll go talk to them. Yeah.
You three? Yeah.
I'm staying seated enjoying my chocolate milk.
I can I since I'm technically like a scarecrow ish.
Can I like put my scythe? I kind of like shove it down.
You're fine. Almost to where it's like
propping me up you. Know awesome, that's what I do
awesome. I try to approach it as he's
feeling casual as possible opposed to the just direct
response we did the first time. What are you doing?
If you're just sitting, I figure out, oh, OK, you're sitting and
you're going. I'll go with y'all.
OK, so. All.
I'm going to leave you to eat. All four of you and you're
eating your massive amount of food Approach.
OK, that girl's glutton. I don't know, she's going to be
a part of our team, but she just really wanted dinner.
I don't know if I noticed it's just going right out their
stomach. There's just ribs.
I don't know if I noticed this. Everything they're eating, it's
just falling out. I.
Imagine it just like you see it go down and then the food just
goes. Maybe you should.
It's just disappearing. The peddler's going to play this
up. The peddler?
Is that what he's called the Fiddler?
He is the Vagrant. There's 8 names for this guy
right now. It's literally just been the
vagrant. I've said the vagrant.
I've said the fiddler. That's what I'm saying.
That's. What I was referring to the
doctor. That's why I clean this up the
fiddler. Went all 18 guys, he says.
I'm not a fighter, I'm a fiddler.
I am the vagrant. Some both work.
The nice guy, me saying. I am a trumpet.
Player is going to have to clean.
That doesn't mean trumpet player is my name.
First off, First off, First off, Anglo-Saxon surnames came from
the job that you did. So what's?
Your intelligence level. +1. All right, mine is.
Awesome, I told you we're getting fun facts.
All exception people. The last name Mason.
The last name Smith. Yep.
You're. Mason, let's talk about.
It this child is scared is all they know.
Well, that's what I'm scared I'm going up to.
We're going to the child as calm and nice.
As possible. We're just creaking over just
and I'm just like slowly playing the band, just trying to keep
the calm. And I'm hunched over, walking
over. So as he's just eating whatever
he's thinking about, he knows he's just kind of staring off.
Yes. Have you had the water from the
dropper? Maybe That's good.
I'd recommend it. It was very nice.
What brings you on this train, young lad?
I feel really guilty about what you can tell old nibbles
anything I did. Something bad?
What'd you do, Fort? Really bad.
What is it? Nibbles won't be mad I'm.
Not worried about you being mad. What are you worried about?
Marry about my neighbor. Your neighbor.
Oh, where's your neighbor at? I.
Don't know, I haven't seen him in a while.
What happened? When was the last time you saw
him? The other day I think.
So you feeling guilty? I feel very guilty.
Why would you feel guilty? Kind of.
I don't want to tell. You don't worry if you know what
I can tell Nibbles. Nibbles won't ask, but Nibbles
is often really good at helping people.
Can't roll for persuasion again to tell us.
Yep, 8. I rolled as low as we possibly
could. Thank you, Ken.
I'll go back to. What was the last?
Thing you remember? Well, I remember I was casting
spells and I was jumping off. Things flew one time and I kind
of tied my blanket around my throat and I jumped and I was
able to fly. Can you rewind that back a
second? You tied it around your throat.
Yeah, like. Like a cake.
Was flying. OK, flying.
So when you went flying, did did the cake get stuck on anything?
No. OK, well, just jump off the
chair. Oh, you jumped off the chair?
Where's was blanket still attached to something?
Would you do it? I don't.
Have some morbid. Marines I was.
Like I'm literally just a child playing superhero you.
That way, he said. I will say he said that off.
You hated that. This whole thing is about that.
The fact that back that all of us have the same idea except
you. Come on.
Moving on. So yes, I feel guilt.
Over what? I took something.
What'd you take? It was a It was a toad from my
neighbor's garden. It was wasn't a real toad.
It was a stone painted. And was the name that happened
to be a hag. I don't.
Think so? OK.
Good one theory. What theory?
That a hag was. There.
Why? Why would my neighbor be a hag?
Maybe she that I was thinking of in my thoughts process because I
have a bigger brain. I was thinking what if maybe the
hag and turned the the toad into a statue?
Why would she do that? No, no, I'm sorry.
I was asking you, you know. I do I have to roll, like,
explain to this kid as calmly as possible that he's dead?
What do you mean here We out here we out here we.
Out maybe we don't do that. I walk up.
Oh my. Gosh, you're finally done with
your chocolate milk. How's it going just.
Dripping out. Welcome to the party.
Hello. Hi, what's your name?
I don't think he has a name. He does not.
John Ghost, John. Ghost, John.
Ghost. She said no.
That's not the name. He does not have a name.
So what does he say when I ask for his name?
He doesn't remember. No, he.
Just goes. Well what?
What would you want your name to be?
Oh no, I like the daydreamer. That's Daydream awesome.
Thank you, Dream. That's my superhero name.
Oh. How wonderful.
Very nice pirate. Yeah.
Well, I don't know, this is a rather interesting conversation.
I can wait. Can I check to see if there's
anything off on him? Like does he seem like the
spirit at all or anything? We don't need to roll yes.
Oh, it does seem like it is. We have to clench this thing.
Thing it's a child. It's a it's no longer a child,
it's more of a thing because we don't know what it is.
Just feel really guilty. He stole a toad.
He. Stole a toad and he just
seeking. Forgiveness.
So what do we do here guys? Do you still have this toad?
Can you explain to your neighbor what you did?
Give me an insight. Trip 4/13.
OK, I'll see. So he's, you see, like as you
say that, the brain starts turning and he's thinking he's
like, well, what neighbor? We usually got along pretty
well, so. Maybe.
I'm sure he wouldn't be mad even if you don't have the toad
anymore if you all are friends. I'm sure he'll understand.
Do you think that they'll remember what I did?
It's possible. You think I'll get in trouble?
If you did, I'm sure it would be very minor.
Give me a percentage. It's A7.
Thing. I.
Think they'll be mad at? Me anybody else have anything to
say all. Right, try to buy Spiel.
I don't know this to say every night, I don't know.
All that, Sarah, that was good. That was really good.
You're so close. I know.
Hey also. Still.
Got all they're trying to look. Sometimes people get mad at you
for things that are out of your control, and you know what?
That is just a part of life. Unfortunately, we all have to go
through that. OK, give me a history or
investigation. What is better?
My history is a + 1, my best insurance one that is a 16 for
history. OK, so you think back to when
actually you don't think back to that.
So let's see. Let's remember how we got here.
So you did succeed. Can you maybe try to paint like
how this character could relate to youth and how some of simple
transgressions are forgivable? Do you think your character
would be able to relate in that way?
In the state I'm in right now, probably not super well.
I mean, I'm a tree person. I have only experienced like
humanity through a very limited amount of people so.
Can you reflect on that at all? Like maybe if somebody had
wronged you or something and you forgave them, or if you've seen
it happen? Now that's for a little improv
there, but if you can make it happen then.
I'm trying to think I'm. Sorry, I'm just trying to figure
out how to reward because you are succeeding in what you're.
Doing. My landowner, she, she was a
great lady. She didn't have many friends but
always sought the best in people and people didn't like her very.
Much. But even being able to see the
good in herself, some be somebody will always see the bad
in you give. Me a persuasion with advantage.
Persuasion. What is?
I know, I know, I know, I know. I just can't remember the last
115. OK.
So your words ring true with the young lad.
He's like, well, that makes sense.
I think if I just talked to my neighbor, they would forget me.
Thank you so much. And you see him smile and he
just kind of disappears. OK, Did have to kill him.
That is an option. Don't want to kill this child.
And we didn't have to. It's a good thing.
Getting very. Warm here all right so you see
the spirit disappears and you are in the dining room so.
And the green mist is still out the other door.
Like the trail? Yeah, OK.
Keep following. Yeah, I.
Think let's just keep following this one.
Looks like we got one down to more to go.
Sounds good. So I'll open the door I guess.
Andy 6 6. I lost it.
I'm sorry, one second. I.
Think you guys will get to this one that sounds.
Horrible. It can be real back, so it just
depends on awesome how you guys handle this.
I do feel like I messed up somewhere on my sheet because
for some reason my persuasion is a -1 and that's not possible.
What's your charisma? Which year?
My charisma is my highest is +3. To the answer 3 unless it's
proficient like proficiency bonus.
Is there a little like black daughter or pee or anything that
should just be translate? That's why I thought I don't
know why it's negative on. Ready.
OK, so as you open the door, a
musty scent kind of lingers in the air.
You notice that there's baggage everywhere.
This is the baggage car, Strange contrast to its faded elegance.
Polished wood paneling and brass fixtures worn and tarnished by
time line the walls. Heaps of dusty old canvas bags
and wooden chest clutter the space, but among them stand a
fresh cluttered of fine leather, travel trunks and bruise with
the letter D. I'm going to change that and
it's going to be embroidered with the letter DV.
Like the Drew scowl. Yeah, that's what I was
thinking. So this probably the Lord and
ladies luggage before anybody gets the idea, let's just get
this out. Let's just.
Let's just keep going. Let's establish some ground.
Let's.
Not steal. No one's gonna.
No one's. Gonna.
That is the one role we have. Then our our role is that we
are. Lol well said.
Can I do a perception check to see if I can see the trail of
the spirits? Something.
I got 18. There is no trace of it.
Got to stop this way. What the trail ends here?
You wrote an 18, correct? Yeah, yeah.
So you notice two other things. One you see a what looks like a
tiger, spiritual tiger off in the back corner of the car
sleeping. That is sick.
On his tail this glimmers and you see like this metal ring is
like on his tails. It's just kind of flicking
asleep, completely knocked out. The second you notice slumped up
against the tattered suitcase is another hint.
It's a grizzled man in striped clothing with a ball and chain
around his left ankle. You hear him go as he lets out a
weary groom. Well, I would like the tiger not
to be killed. Yeah, guys, I don't know if you
see that or not. It's pretty cool, Tiger there's.
A sick Tiger in the corner. There's also a guy with the ball
and chain. What's the ring on it?
What's clearly more interesting? I was going to say the tiger is
definitely more interesting and it does have a little ring on it
and I was thinking that a ring might unlock something.
Because we'll do rings. Unlock anything because maybe at
the end of the ring there might be a little.
Yeah, it is pretty sick. Hi.
Hi, we're. Talking to the top.
All right, hear me out. I was.
Going to say the tiger, but it might eat us.
I don't know, but it's cool. Is anybody good with animals?
This is what the guy looks like. That that checks.
Out. Anyone have anything good with
animals? I have a -1.
All we know who's leading the Tiger expedition here.
What's the What are we trying to do?
That's a good question. What are we trying to?
Do I don't think we should go and try to talk to a tiger?
I think maybe we should observe the tiger.
First, this could be a cow God situation it.
Could get his. Unlimited options.
All I'm saying is this Nibbles is just using a little bit of
his brain and we're saying maybe not go up instantly and talk to
the tiger. Maybe, I don't know, hypothesize
you got. Something saying in your hand
bro? It's for a call.
I don't what is the plan with the tiger.
I'm trying to talk to. It it's a tiger.
It's I. Don't sleep.
So like it's like a ring that's like attached to its tail, OK.
It's you notice it is sleeping like you hear it snoring.
So is the man asleep or the? Man is grumbling.
He's just grumbling, OK? So it could also be a stealth to
get the ring off. Of I was just going to say I
have a + 5 sleight of. Hand OK.
I also look like a chew toy for it.
Yes, me too. So let me talk to the guy first.
I don't dare you know what to do.
But I mean, I don't know. I don't know what to.
I don't. I don't.
This is a wacky train. Why is this here?
Why is there a train? Why is there a tiger?
And why is this man here? Why are you a rat with a bunch
of experiments? It's.
Crazy. I know.
That's what I'm saying. It's wild.
I. Want to talk to the guy?
He goes over and you see him. He's slumped up against the
suitcase and he's like steak pork.
So. He's hungry.
Are you hungry? How's it going, pal?
Food. The diamond cart is one over.
He's chained. He's he's ball and chain all
right. I think one of us does a little
food right here for this. You have to be sitting.
But can we not take the food with us when we get up it?
Probably disappears. That's how I that was not
established. I thought it disappeared.
I'm gonna go back to the dining hall, I'm gonna get some food
for this guy, and I'll be right back.
Are you leaving? Yeah, I'm going to leave to the.
Go back to the. Only AD 6.
Sorry, Bob. OK.
The D6 is for What Car you end up in.
Oh. I wonder where Ken is.
They've. Been gone for that food for a
while. I know you're waiting for that
guy. Thought you guys will stay
together all the time. No one said anything.
No one objectified. It I didn't think that, but then
the smile, that's what got me. What was the dining?
What was it but you wrote for the dining?
I. Think it was 4, I think 4.
OK so as you walk in there is a car is not sorry sorry sorry
sorry my brain is fuzzled. So as you walk into this car
there is 2 rows of shelves containing heavy male satchels
and bends filled to the broom with parcels and envelopes.
Mail room. Can I roll for perception?
See if I see anything else. You absolutely can.
No, you don't notice anything. You don't know it's just a bunch
of like yellow colored weather envelopes, like just very
mundane. But that role wasn't low enough
for you to see a man shuffling through the car, which is
another way we're named. We're going to cut back over to
you all who are in the baggage car.
So someone to go looking for him?
He's taking. Long literally just left.
Literally just walked out the door.
Oh, it's crazy. It's just like it's just 20
years there's. This time stuff happening, it's
just. About saying literally just left
5. Years have gone by.
It's crazy. Well, we're going to wait for
him to come back then. All right, Well, I don't know.
What do you want? I got to go find Kim.
Just a SEC. We don't know that why?
Why would you just automatically at?
School assuming the word. Yeah, Tom, are you OK?
Guys? We're all trained with demons.
You, you told them to go. You told him to leak eggs, I
guess. If you want to see if he's
struggling to find. Food I I pull out my scythe and
whenever I do like half my body hunches over a lot.
All right. And then I open the door.
Maybe 65. All right, Wow, that's written.
And you see, Don't tell me your character's name.
It's it's 5050. Yeah, you're.
Pum, you're all right. So.
In case you didn't know, Pumpkin, it's OK.
What? I had no idea.
So pum, as you open the door, you've noticed that Ken is kind
of looking around, just kind of looks like you don't know what
you're doing. Ken, nothing guys.
You're in the wrong door. Hold on.
The others not come with you. No, it's just me.
Who's that? Guy all.
Right. Hurry up.
Hurry. Up here we go.
We're split up. I don't really know what's going
on in here. We could talk to this guy.
I'm kind of scared and wrote it out to get back with everybody
else. I want to talk to this guy.
We're going to talk to Scott. So before you all talk to that
guy, we are going to take a short break and we will be back.
