Previously on turn tales I run up to the garden
I say where's where's the magic detective? It
was me. We burn the ship. We did the sweet Me
and those four over there. We all Be ob just
waves Me and that me and the girl me and the
pirate were the legs But the other three were
the guy in the chair. He hands you manacles I
take him and I throw him in the river and I say
bring me to the detective. It's my first day
I don't know what you're doing. I this is gonna
suck, but this is hey you burn a ship, so I'm
doing this I'm gonna cast hail of thorns nice
on this guard no, and I'm going to gag him Give
me a persuasion check to get him to join you
with your friends. How many checks am I gonna
have to make here? Is this the only one you're
gonna make me do? This is the only one to get
him to your friends if you want to Okay, steal
something off of him. No, no, that's not what
I'm trying persuasion Nat 20 This guy thinks
it'll make his career so he's like, uh, yeah
Lead the way and he runs over to another garden.
You see him shout something real quick You see
the other guard hand over two pairs of them He
grabs him any he runs ahead of you, and he starts
approaching you for all right I this is gonna
suck, but this is hey you burn a ship, so I'm
doing this I'm gonna cast hail of thorns nice
on this guard no, and I'm going to gag him Okay
How does that spell work? What's it called? Oh,
no? Ouch, this guy's gonna take truly damage.
It's too bad. He's not a camel. He could just
eat his way out of it This spell creates a rain
of thorns that sprouts from where to go Oh So
we're attacking the guard. No, I'm sure I'm at
20. I'm shooting at the ground and that's way
to persuade your friend Oh the target of the
attack in each creature within five feet of it
must make a Dexterity saving throw creature takes
1d 10 piercing on a failed save or half as much
damage on a success Here's exactly what I want
to happen and you can make me roll Oh, he's a
normal attack. So you use your bow for it. Yes
Yeah, here's here's like this is exactly what
I want to happen right before we get to the other
four I want to shoot my arrow at the ground near
his feet while I'm far enough away it won't affect
me and cast hail of thorns and then after he's
bound up I want to gag him and then I want to
um how come in the river no oh he's bound to
the ground I want to write another note and like
attach it to his chest I've got I got you don't
worry I don't think hail of thorns binds him
though correct so It won't but don't worry. I
got this. Yeah you Have to make normally under
the conditions of the spell you would make a
range attack and if it hits them it goes off
However, you are specifically not trying to hit
him with an arrow. Yes, you just want the spell
part to hit him. Yes, okay, so I'll Only make
you roll spell damage After he makes a save so
the guard is going to attempt to save what's
your spell safe? It'll be eight plus wisdom modifier
plus proficiency There's nothing on the other
side So eight plus wisdom plus proficiency. Yep
13. Okay, so he has to be the 13 to Do I take
no damage if I save or half half of a 1d 10?
Oh That's a 5 plus 2. Yes. All right 1d 10 for
7. Yeah, go ahead and roll a d10 5 Okay, you
Trick this guy to go ahead of you After he grabs
those manacles takes a few steps ahead He's about
10 feet from your friends, and you draw an arrow
Shoot it at the ground and he fails a dex save
and instantly takes the damage from these thorns
they sprout from the bridge suddenly and wrap
around his legs he screams in pain as he falls
down and the second he does um Chris you see
Everything around you slow down the vines slowly
start wrapping up the guy's leg and like one
100th time and you watch them slowly Spiraling
as his screen was a quick silver, right? Yeah
Yeah, as his scream like distorts because time
is slowing down so much you see a Small pinpoint
of white light that turns to a line and then
a doorway And then a silhouette of almost like
a paper doll looking figure, like the bathroom
symbol men, you know, basically just a flat white,
same texture as that business card appears in
front of you. He has just piercing blue eyes,
no nose, no mouth. And he looks at you and he
goes, hmm, that was a waste, huh? And he snaps
his fingers and you guys all see Chris just disappear.
Oh Shit, why do you punish me? I'm trying to
be is this good or bad? It's movement forward
All right, that's the kind of action. I'm talking
about what I wanted somebody willing to guard
What I want that is what a friend is See the
other guards start running up to help his friend
and Consequently towards you guys We had no intentions
of hurting you I promise You see the other guard
start helping his friend up and pull his sword
and start cutting the vines and As you say that
give me a persuasion check here blink Yeah, 17
nice okay, you say that and he's cutting his
friend free and his friend looks up and he's
like did you guys know that guy? Yeah, he's our
friend What the fuck is wrong with you? We would
never do anything. He was he made a mistake.
He said you burnt on a ship He would all confess
to your crime. Well, he and she did but not ice
My god, I did everything I could wait. Hey, let's
go Cool. Can I, if I see her pull her gun. Oh
no. Wait, this kind of works then. I was going
to say if I see her pulling her gun, can I like
push it away from like where she's aiming? Absolutely.
So you pull your gun, you go to shoot. In a one,
can it? I hate you! I hate you so much! I know
where you sleep asshole. You push it out of her
hand it goes flying into the river And as the
guard cuts his friend free they both get to their
feet and they say come with us you have some
questions to answer I will be doing no such thing
and One of the guards holds out manacles towards
blink And the other holds them out towards you
Keila and they start walking towards you and
they say we'll call for backup if we have to
I told you I'm not fucking going to jail mate.
What the hell is wrong with you? Keila he confessed
and then Chris disappeared so maybe that's just
what you have to do. I'm gonna hit blink again
As you lift your fist to rear up to hit blink
you hear a clatter as a soaking wet pistol lands
on the bridge near your feet What I just gave
me the most like huh look some Moana shit going
on I think that one's got your name on it mate
The guards are still in your face. Yeah, I'm
gonna They're in my face both of you. Yeah, they're
walking forward. I told you I didn't do anything
I'm a hit blink we're gonna priorities 18 Yeah,
that does it how much if the guards are coming
at Kiela? Yeah, seven Kiela's been my best friend
today If they make any sort of move to have they
made any sort of move towards her while she's
writing they're trying to arrest her Oh, are
they going to grab her? Uh? Next round they will
be grabbing something to grab. Let's say Kiela
strikes blink. Yep. Their response is blink hits
Kiela back This is like sibling like I feel like
it's like, you know that scene in arcane where?
In season two where vi and jinx just absolutely
like hair pulling Fucking it's a civil. It's
a civil fight. That's so good 14 doesn't hit.
Uh, I duck under your arm. That's even worse.
So that kick in the back of your knees He misses
all three dang Wow, okay, you lit out a flurry
of blows But Kila seems to have a large history
of suddenly hitting someone and then getting
really good at dodging But as you swing all those
Miss all those swings and these guards are going
to enter initiative to try and grab you guys
we can all roll it the camera Suddenly shows
Chris's perspective again, and the two of you
are standing on the bridge Next to the commotion
going on but your friends seem to be unable to
see you this porcelain figure is standing there
with his arms crossed looking at what's unfolding
and he goes This was your big plan didn't hear
from you after the ship so That was you too,
then huh? Yeah Hmm people go to jail for things
like that. I bet you'd be in jail if they could
be on your realm of existence or whatever What's
your point? You're judging me for doing things
to send me to jail you attacked a man, and you've
never attacked a man not who didn't deserve it
hmm I'm gonna show him the card and I say Where
does this get me or what does this do? What is
this? He looks at it for a second he his expression
this is the first time you see him give any bit
of humanity as he Gets a little wide -eyed for
a second, and then they go back to normal and
he says You know buying those things is kind
of like the lamest way to get them Do what you
got to do, I guess. He actually smiles. Well,
I guess it's hard to tell other than his blue
eyes shift a little bit. And he shifts his gaze
back to what's ongoing, and he says, let's see
how this goes. Yeah. I got nowhere to be. OK.
And then we'll time in on you guys. I love Chris
Watley, bro. Bromance, dude. Got any snacks?
That's really good. Any four -dimensional snacks?
The guards got a 19. Yeah. Fuck them. I got a
19. What's your decks better than theirs? Plus
four then. Yes, you're gonna go before them So
the order is currently bo be blank 17 not 20.
I got a 22 My decks though is 20 we'll just go
for it is a plus two. So it's still 22 high initiatives
Tied up not 20 goes first. Yeah Seventeen I go
last with the 17. I had nine to my initiative.
This is fucked up. That's crazy alright. When's
yours? What's yours? 22? 22 yeah. Okay, so it's
actually gonna go B .O .B. Vayne blink guards
Keela. Cool. Wow Go ahead B .O .B. Yeah, so let's
see my big move I'm gonna hold my turn or hold
my turn. That's a huge B .O .B. behavior. Vayne?
I'm gonna Cast invisibility on myself Cool you
turn invisible you watch the guards go what and
Yeah, that's actually it. He just fucking disappeared
What the hell we're starting strong your turn
right before the yeah, can I hold my turn as
a reaction? You'd you'd have to use your action
to call a shot like that if you're waiting for
a specific thing to happen You can say I think
this is gonna happen and if it does I am then
going to do this Okay, I'm gonna you want to
wait you can take your turn However, it finishes
the current turn no matter what no no no I'll
I'm gonna turn to Kila and I'm gonna say Kila
we're gonna do this peacefully and If she tries
to shoot I'm gonna grapple her So you're writing
it readying an action if she Goes to shoot anyone.
Mm -hmm. You are going to attempt to grapple
her. So yeah Shonjin master. Do I need to Tell
you what my thing is that I would trigger my
are you trying to act in the middle of someone's
turn? Or are you just trying to say? Okay, I
want to go next Because you have the power already
for free to say okay I want to go next but if
you are trying to catch a condition you have
to call your shot. It's a catch condition. It's
if the guards try to grapple Keela or make an
attack on her because she's my best friend right
now. Cool. Very good. True. Okay. It's the guards
turn. Am I am I gonna get to do anything in the
middle like of the initiative like between rounds?
What would you try? Huh? Yes. Alright, just curious.
We'll put you at the end. Just curious. Cool.
Um... Or if it's all gonna happen at once later
on. We'll put it at the end. We'll say it's as
things are happening. The guards are gonna go.
They say, that was your final warning, your friend
confessed to a crime, and now you're resisting
arrest. And they are going to go for... Which
one of you looks the most willing to be arrested?
Probably Blink. One of them moves out to you
with a pair of handcuffs. Gesturing to basically
put your wrists out into them and another one
moves towards Keela and Says are we gonna have
a problem? You're damn fucking right we will
Okay, it's your turn before they do one last
shot Actually, I slice okay, and then I shoot
but I slice first Eight I'm going to burn a point
of inspiration. Cool. 20. Nice. Okay, that hits.
So 20 to slice. And that's only seven points
of damage. Link, how close are you to me? Like
right next to you. Okay. So I do think that that
constitutes as a sneak attack because Target
also has enemy within five feet. Yeah, sure.
Okay. You're also the kind of rogue that doesn't
need someone within five feet. I know, but I
was just making sure that because he was there
it didn't negate. You're sneak attacking me.
You're trying to kill this man? Okay. He asked
if we were gonna have a problem and I said yeah.
So yeah, we got a problem. So now I'm gonna shoot
him. And that's a 17 to hit. Well, hold on. As
you lift your gun. Is that Dex? You said you're
trying to grapple. This is going to be... Acrobatics
or athletics acrobatics versus the others chosen
acrobatics or athletics Acrobatics have fun with
my plus eight I'm a monk and I'm a plus six.
She's a Expertise on and I think yep Inspiration
okay one better 13 Base 12 so 20 To try and stop
her and no no advantage because like I was prepared
to I was like waiting for it. I'll allow it Yeah,
beat a 20 asshole 21 Fortunately that is gonna
beat you right? Yeah fucking guess Okay, this
is just going to not allow you to shoot. I want
to like bear hug so her arms are like locked
at her Yeah, absolutely so we'll Technically
the rules of D &D or you have to grapple someone
and then restrain them I don't know combat between
party members is more interesting when you're
more lenient. Yeah, I think so I will say that
she is not capable of doing what she wants to
do easily here and The shot either doesn't happen
or misses doesn't happen because he makes you
Miss completely or are you're going to miss completely
and I imagine this isn't one of your what the
wet pistol that you just got back Okay, so you
get your shot interrupted by blink. What the
fuck is wrong with you? I said we're gonna do
this peacefully let go or it's gonna be your
problem next I'm gonna turn to the guards. I'm
gonna be like we mean no harm It cuts back to
Chris and Watley who are watching this unfold
while he looks at you and says do they mean that?
That one does He nods. Why does it have to be
commit a crime to get your attention? It's my
job. You're like the sheriff? Or something. I
didn't say or something. You said or something.
Yeah. What's or something? You're like a rebel
police force? Not rebel. I'm appointed by the
people who lead the city and I'm supposed to
do it under wraps. No one gets hurt this way.
You're fine. Aren't you? Yeah, which I appreciate
Considering you attacked a man in the street.
It's a pretty good a setup here Let's see if
your friends kill anyone Just so you know, I
wasn't planning on killing anybody. I Don't want
to be mutually exclusive with these guys just
so you know if these guys die some could say
you Set up the situation and I'll decide how
I want to deal with you when we see how this
goes That's fair. He stops and it's almost as
if he's gonna hit play on the situation again,
and he looks at you And he's like doesn't bother
you that I'm gonna let this happen these guards
could die hmm People usually ask a lot more questions
at this point Time stop Yes, you're not it's
definitely interesting, but I'm trying to Make
a good impression You're killing it And he presses
play. I love Wally! Top of initiative would be...
Keela, are you gonna stop? Are you gonna let
me go? Are you gonna stop? You're just gonna
let us get arrested then? It's kind of what you
deserve. I don't deserve shit! How many people
were on that ship? Is this Blink's turn? Blink,
what are you doing on your turn? She's done talking
to you. Or B .O .B.'s. Thanks turn. So you are
you like fighting against me? Absolutely Absolutely
on her turn. She can try to break your grapple
Or you can use your turn to try and establish
the restrained condition in which she can't take
actions the bridge how Maybe she can high is
like the walls of the bridge not very high Three
feet and how far away like how big is the bridge?
You're standing near the edge because of the
shenanigans you were doing, but it's the wide
bridge. It's about 60 feet wide. How tough would
the throw be to throw her into the water? Bro!
You both, technically well grappled, you can
move her up to half your movement, and it would
be very easy to move with her into the water.
Okay. I am going to... Not that that was related
to anything. I'm just gonna stay restraining
her for now. Do you want to try to make it or
an actual restraint instead of right now? It's
just a grapple. Yeah. Yeah, can I restrain gives
me? Disadvantage on deck saves cool. So what
would I need to do? That's it anything else?
That's the biggest thing that's different to
Grapples speed is zero can't benefit from any
bonus of speed restrained is the same thing with
speed is zero attack rolls are added Against
me are at advantage my attack roles are at disadvantage
so I can still make them but they're at disadvantage
and Then I have disadvantage on deck saving throws.
So would that just be another decks to decks?
Yeah, you do it again, basically athletics or
acrobatics Advantage again or no because that
was specifically based on preparation. So you
guys are doing this straight now Mine's not a
save so it's not at disadvantage. I have unending
breath is that Only once you hit the water No,
I just mean would this be helpful. I've got lightning
resistance. No, I don't think so. No, yeah So
I'm just rolling straight. Yep 18 Oh 23 oh my
god pots is fuming It's actually makes will be
a disadvantage BoB your turn try and fight your
arm you see boy grab Kila. He's gonna kind of
nod And he's gonna start moving his hand up his
earth He's got my back up up up and he's gonna
he's gonna wait one more He's gonna wait for
one more one more turn one more turn the little
bro moment. We had last night Yeah, yeah, he's
very conflicted cuz these are two of his best
friends and He doesn't know what to do at this
point. So he's waiting for someone. That's not
his best friend to do something. That's not Someone
not his friend doing something bad guard turn.
Yep They kind of look at each other while they
see what you're doing holding her still and then
look up at the big metal machine He's not big
at this moment. Oh, yeah, he's you're down on
the ground. He's still person He's perfect person
size. Yeah, he's just a man. She's still scary
Just this metal suit. Yeah, they look at the
the metal suit of armor and they look at the
two unarmored figures still here and they're
like all right, I guess Let's get her and they
start going towards Keela who has her arms I
guess held at her side in front of her Give me
a dex save as they are trying to restrain you
the DC will disadvantage now because it is a
dex save and Blink wants me dead. So once you
arrested at least Natural one They clap both
of the manacles around your arm of BoB goes up
and you just hear Oh, and he's gonna fire off
his magic missile. Oh Jesus at the guard at yeah
at the guard So it's 1d4 plus one force per but
it's one per missile. Yes. So it's one three
total. Yes, so one oh, that's a Sorry, these
are really dark for Five so nine Okay, that's
a two, so 11. That's another four, so 15 damage.
Nice. Yeah, as they jiggle. B .O .B. lifts his
arm and just hits the guard with a barrage of
missiles. After the guard's helmet spins around
on his head because of the massive concussive
blows that hit him one, two, three, four, and
he takes 15 points of damage, you see B .O .B.
snap out of existence. Chris, you also see B
.O .B. snap out of existence. B .O .B., you're
in a dark cave by yourself. Did I do it? We go
back to the party. It is Keela's turn. Keela,
can't you see? When we attack them, you get banished.
OK, I'm going to try and break the restraint
condition again. So does that again. Contested?
Yep. Oh, 11. 17. As I'm. Breaking out of Blink's
grasp. She's gonna turn and look at him She's
gonna spit in his face and she's gonna say I'll
fucking keelhaul you mate if you try that shit
again and That would be my action is to break
out of that. So that is my turn end of the round
it would go to Chris and Watley who says Your
friend was just gonna throw that guy to pieces
and so him leaving was you I'm sure. Yeah. How
do you and A2 know each other? Let's watch what's
going on here. Worth a shot. You feel a shift
in his demeanor? For the bad? In the top right
corner, it says, Wotley didn't like that. Wotley
disapproves. What? We were cool, I think. I don't
know. Top of the order. Vane. I'm there, invisible,
I'm safe. Truthfully, I have no wish to harm
any of these guards. I don't know why that seems
to be a prerequisite to speak to you. So I will
stand here in hopes that you hear me talking
into the void. I will continue to do so until
something happens. It's invisibility. He's heard.
By everyone yeah, I would say I'm pacing so no
one knows my exact position sure sure you're
moving right don't want to get any bonuses to
getting got and I said I did preface before I
was whispering I'm still whispering so yeah all
right no one should be able to hear it kyle it
cuts to a lot later and he goes What is he saying?
Teleport me to you like right now. It's not that
hard probably I imagine you did rapidly twice
he's He's very interesting back to initiative
It's blink's turn And he's flipping through the
book, which makes me a little nervous. Uh, uh,
yeah, give me like two I want to say I really
want to do something but i'm not i'm not I hate
that tim is flipping through the player handbook.
I feel like it's about to be my problem No, no,
no, I wanted to see something but i'll go to
plant a blink is gonna cast darkness on the bridge
I've seen this one before. Yeah Bridges I think
I've seen this film before I could arguably hit
everyone right? We're all pretty close together.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, absolutely Okay, so I'm gonna
cast darkness. So the entire bubble around us
is pitch black now You can like cut the bridge
in half with the bubble base. Yeah, and I'm just
gonna say can we please stop two of us are gone
Cool. It's the guards turn you guys here A shrill
whistle from the darkness right next to you as
the guard blows a whistle Sounds like reinforcements
Who was closest? Let's see one guy got his bell
rocked that was next to keela the other guy would
have been focused on blink Or maybe he's gonna
take two swings at b. Obie All right. He's not
there. Oh, you're right. You're right. Yeah,
but be always gone So two swings at blink But
I disadvantage because it's dark so he misses
I would see that right now. Oh, no. No wait No,
I can't I can you can see within the spells area
when you cast it with this feature So I could
see fully in the darkness you can yeah with which
feature warrior of shadow. Okay, that's awesome
But you can't see that's why you could throw
the packages out. Mm -hmm. He'll be so I am now
in a cave Yeah, is that all I see is just a empty
cave. This is a very Dark space. Do you have
any do you have dark vision? No, but I imagine
Doug would be able to turn on a light and beam
out from his eyes Power armor. Oh, yeah. Yeah
magical tinkering the object sheds bright light
in the five foot radius and didn't light for
another additional five cool, so you have a Ten
foot radius of light. It's bright right next
to you around you. It's very dim. Give me a Persuasion
or investigation check and not persuasion perception
or okay. I was like, who am I? This this out
a you up 17 plus 7 so 24 for yeah cool Honestly,
yes, I did that math. Well, you're good You're
getting better. I am she's learning I am start
to wander around this this cave that you're in
and you find that it is an absolute cavern each
step you take echoes and Reverberates the sound
of your mechanical footsteps walking alongside
a wall. Eventually you find a pillar that juts
out and you look up and you find that the Pillar
is this slick yellowy white color and it shoots
way way up and an arc into the air above you
and it fades into the darkness because you can't
quite see that far but as you are able to interact
with it there is some kind of tactile response
between Doug and what he touches and how you
perceive that and the way that a familiar you
can feel its senses and if it's touching a ground
you know what that ground feels like it is obvious
to you That this is a material that you're familiar
with all of your tools at home are made from
this material That is the pillar holding up this
Okay, uh as you Touch the wall near this pillar.
It crumbles just a little bit. It's as if it's
loose dirt surrounding it Any guesses not a one
Well, your brain is trying to connect exactly
what it is. We'll go to Kela. The guards took
a swing in the dark and missed. And it's your
turn. You are out of your condition. Cool. But
I'm in darkness. It's pitch black. Yes. OK. I
think I reach for a pistol. I don't know which
one it is. One of them is wet. How many do you
have right now? Five. Roll a d6. Reroll on a
six. A five is the wet one. Wink. It's a one,
okay, so I roll a Yeah, so non wet pistol I'm
gonna yeah, right on a wet my pistol I'm going
to Try to decide whether or not Or a guard not
thrilled with you at this moment in time I'll
shoot at a guard this time Is it a disadvantage
because it's dark or is it just okay? Eleven
that is not enough to hit Yeah, thank you send
a shot fires off a shot and it does Blank you
see Kiela pull a gun and confidently shoot into
the darkness and she misses luckily But you watch
the guards panic as there's a loud explosion
in their ear bottom of the order Chris It's you
and Watley again. Watley says I should probably
end this I think she's gonna try and actually
kill that guy Yeah, she's not the best people
person. I'm curious about this this Party you
throw Just keep yeah, I know like this murder
thing that's happening right now, but your party
You know yeah, yes, yes I mean I want to say
something to the effect of like I'm really curious
about this party that you throw It seems like
a pretty big deal around town to be there Correct.
It's the biggest deal most people go crazy trying
to find out where it is You know if I don't want
them to know if you are a sort of sheriff of
this town why is it a requirement to commit a
crime to get invited to a party why are you rewarding
these crimes you're assuming everyone who commits
a crime makes it to the party i guess not but
anyone who commits a crime has a chance to depends
who they are and truthfully it depends how the
interview goes as he gestures to between you
and himself listen i want what you want and i
want to Know how I can help you get what you
want, but I can't help you if you don't tell
me hmm you and your friends have Growing up to
do responsibility has fallen in your lap whether
you want to appreciate it or not, so I'm giving
you a task Go find your friend the Goblin the
Goblin. I'll give you two more questions And
then you'll wake up, and you'll figure it out
without your problem solver slave friend. Wait,
what? Have you not seen the way you treat that
goblin? Maybe not you specifically, but your
company. Some of you do right, but permissive
attitude still. Okay. I can take that. I mean,
you may not like this, but a being as powerful
as you and a being as powerful as a two. Don't
co -exist in the same space while still being
enemies. We are not enemies. That's what I thought.
We are just not friends. Did he say we were enemies?
No, definitely not. Like I said, I want what
you want, and I think ultimately you want what
a two wants. If that is true, he would approve
of this lesson I'm teaching you. Sure. Which
I'm not ungrateful for. Then we're on the same
page. You want what I want. Agreed. Make it right
and he snaps his fingers and The four of you
wake up in your beds in the glass stallion. Oh
what? Same day four of us as in Chris blink Keela
vane sands b .ob. Oh And we're in our beds. I
look out the window to see if it's morning. It's
morning We're gonna groundhog day this shit.
You got groundhog day. It's the same day b .ob.
Yeah, suddenly there is a bit more light in the
room, and you hear a voice behind you go, hey.

There's fire, and there's screaming. Okay, okay,

We're just going to throw it out again. From

love to take my anger out on something for once
and I start punching the door We need to talk,
I'm sorry. I kneel down on the ground and I'm
like, Watley! Take me! What? No! Wait, I paused
what I'm doing. What do you mean, Watley? What
do you mean, what do I mean, Watley? Hard cut
to B .O .B. in a cowboy hat, in a red bandana.
What? By himself on a like... Pale dark dance
floor that's outlined very lightly with like
white lines and Watley is standing there on the
stage about 20 feet away Yeah, and he's like
all right from the top As I like stretch out
the arms stretch out the legs get all noodley
all right So are you in your suit, or are you
just a goblin? I'm just a goblin on the sidelines.
Okay, very good He's a kind of acting as like
the boombox So it's fun and then back and then
Yeah, it's like a square and then a BoB starts
going through the routine do I have to roll a
performance? Yeah, please do okay cool Join him
right now, please It's 14 Whatley watches you
finish your routine to the end and he goes tada
We'll be ready by tonight again one more time.
Okay from the top. Yeah straight from the top.
Okay. I got this I have a question. Yeah The
wall the wall with the material Yeah It's soft,
grumbly. The dirt is, yeah. It's dirt. It is
dirt. Oh. Good job. In the square. Is it charcoal?
No, it's just dirt. Oh. Are you talking about
the pillars or the - The pillar! What is it?
Have you not seen the room? And he like, puts
his arms out in the room, becomes just, not like
- brightly illuminated from him, but it's like
someone turned the lights on even though there's
no lights and you're in a massive cavern that
has a a stage basically in front of you and He
points at one of those pillars and you notice
that you are Underground and what you are saying
is a giant rib cage around you this entire room
is made from the rib cage of some giant creature
That is now laying flat in the ground. Oh Okay
from the top Let's go again Three two one two
three, okay. Yeah, I want to cut back to everyone,
but I want to minimize circular talk Yeah, so
how do we keela has blink in like a hot? Okay,
if he's submitting to that you can't be too mean
all right, I'm feeling We put better now We're
still missing somebody yeah While these two were
caught in their little chicken fight I saw like
I don't know I saw Two people teleport away first.
It was you then it was the grablet Goblin did
you see the Goblin? I didn't I just saw him leave
and and I Went to another freaking plane man
You said it was what Lee like the guy that's
throwing the party. Did you ask him where it
was? I showed him the card and he seemed to know
what that was, but he didn't ask him where it
was of course He knows what? He didn't seem super
keen to tell me where it was. Did you ask him?
Yeah, I did actually Well, is it is it the same
we just do everything the same and then you could
talk to him again great You did not see BoB at
all. I actually do kind of like that He's like,
okay, you're missing the point No, I didn't I
didn't so you must be somewhere else. It's just
me and flat Stanley. Yeah, he's somewhere else.
He said That we had to go find him. He said he
said that we had some growing up to do and That
we had to go find it us feels a wee bit presumptuous
Oh does it I think Seem like a pretty smart dude.
I think blinks got some growing up to do pickin
fights He has no business picking. Did you punch
me twice? Yeah, and I'd do it again He seems
to think of all of us as a collective So a chain
is only as strong as its weakest link blink whoa,
and I look at them back and forth And I don't
know where BoB is. Well, we have to find it.
If we find him, I'm sure we find Flat Stanley.
What made Watley show up in the first place?
It was you popped out of existence. Is that what
it was? You shot the thing and then he grabbed
you. Is that what happened? You never hit the
guards. You never hit the guards. Somebody made
it quite a bit hard for me to do that. Well,
neither did he. I did and I popped out. And when
B .O .B. went Iron Man, he - he - he disappeared.
So we just have to go punch some guards? So I
hit some guards? I don't know if that's - if
it's that simple. On a bridge? Well, you said
now we have to find B .O .B. That seems like
the path forward then. Well, I have - I have
- I'm no - I'm gonna try to reach for my pocket,
but I can't. And then I'm gonna be like, I still
have like the compass thing, can we just - Does
anyone know how to change it to distract? Yeah,
I do robot and I start going through blinks pockets.
I'm not looking for the compass I'm taking all
this shit out of his pockets. It's just his pockets
on this person. Yeah, that's not you don't just
start He's tied up. Oh Okay, hey, hey, hey, Jeffrey.
I told you to be nice to him. Is Jeffrey still
there? You remember blink? He's there. Jeffrey's
there. He's still stuck on the escalator Alright
sweet Jeffrey are you there? He rounds the corner
Do you remember the goblin little green guy?
Please I know you remember him skeleton just
stares at you. It's a skeleton. It's intelligence
is like to I Don't think it can talk I have no
idea where to begin when with finding this little
guy. He could be anywhere What do I find in Blink's
pockets? Whatever Blink has. What do you have
in your pockets, Blink? If the compass comes
out at any point while she's rummaging, I want
to grab it and start fucking with it. I'll allow
it. You grab the compass and you start fucking
with it. What does that look like? Clothes. It
looks like me taking out the card and seeing
if the compass is still calibrated to the card.
You can't find the card. What do you mean I can't
find the card? Can't find it. Where's the compass
pointing to them out the door? I follow the compass.
When did you guys get the card? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. No Chris was holding the card. This is
this is the beginning of the day the card is
in the river wait the compass would Existed in
the morning or after the morning. Yeah, I know
I know but because BoB didn't reset some things
are gonna be a little different The compass was
built in the morning. Correct. Yeah, however
You didn't reset so your actions of the day never
got undone gotcha. Yeah, therefore the compass
exists Yeah, but someone else had it you gave
it to someone else right it is It is blink yeah
has it and now while she was rummaging through
his pockets I grabbed and then Chris has and
a guard woke up with a really bad headache All
his blood in his body, so he's probably grateful
for that I can I can definitely Chris can definitely
piece together that we're at the beginning of
the day It's morning. He looked outside. It's
morning And heck I'll even go downstairs and
untie me and try to I'll be back And and look
around the tavern to see if things are how they
were the previous morning just a hundred percent
confirmed Yeah, you have the groundhog day scene
where everything is exactly the same as you go
downstairs I go back up and while Blink is still
tied up. I say it's the same day Everything is
the same. We went back in time. We back to the
future. Oh great So Blink, did you learn your
lesson about maybe some choices that we want
to make a wee bit differently this time round?
Sounds like if you're a good person, you get
the day again. I don't know. I got the day again.
And you're pretty adamant about me being a bad
one. We all got the day again, which means we
all get the chance at a second try at things
where we can do it and make better actions and
do More nice things to each other. Minus B .O
.B .s, which is the top of the list priority.
Yeah, we need to find him. Yes, agreed. So if
we retrace our steps, the way you're able to
talk to that guy is we got the card, right? The
way we talked to the guy is attacking the guards,
which I don't super want to do again because
I somehow think that's not going to work. I don't
know where B .O .B. is or how to get to him,
but I know that guy knows. Well, I assume is
Watley. We know Watley's name. The river was
cold and I'm not trying to get sucked into that
cave again. Cave? Yeah, there is something under
the water. What do you mean there's something
under the water? Where the card was? Yeah, like
it was like trying to get sucked in like this
crack. I don't know. Sometimes infrastructure
is just shit. Sucked in the crack. There's your
free one. All I know is we need that card. Yeah,
so let's just go back to the bridge and get it
again. He's head for the bridge. Okay, you guys
Who unties me? I do I cut him loose Let's go
before we leave the room. I grab blink by like
the the neck of his shirt And I go you ever try
and grab me like that again. I'll fucking kill
you. Do you understand? You don't scare me anymore
kilo Nice That was hard yeah Let go walk away.
He's lucky. I don't kill him on the spot damn.
That's cool alright We follow a similar path
we go down the through the city down south to
a familiar bridge You see the same people that
you saw crossing it earlier in the day the first
time you live through this day And you see two
familiar guards one of which is still rubbing
his head and the compass is pointed straight
down. I don't think we should do the same thing
with the guards, right? We're not gonna touch
them. Hide your faces. Vayne, do you want to
get the card this time? Sure. It's just at the
bottom where like all the water is getting sucked
down. Yeah, no problem. I try to swim down. Do
you have darkvision? Yeah, same as - I think
I'm exactly the same as like I can breathe underwater.
Okay. Yeah, then you can very clear. I have a
hundred twenty feet of dark vision But yeah,
you're able to swim down and find the same thing
and you're able to swim back up Do you use the
magic carpet to get out of the water? Yeah, yeah
when I see him submerge I'll toss it down and
say up ease. Okay, cool It flies him back to
you. So remarkable. All right, then I'll be taking
that card back from you then I wouldn't. As long
as you don't lose it again or give it to, well,
you can give it to B .O .B., so... I didn't lose
it. And B .O .B.'s not here, so I can't give
it to him to lose, so really, you should just
hand it over to me. We all know she lost it.
I'm just telling you. We all know that she'll
lie to our face about it, too. Hold on, hold
on. Hey, hey. We have to redo this day, right?
Why don't we make different actions and see if
it plays out differently? You've basically already
redone it. You're like... All you have to do
is not assault someone right now. So give it
to someone else. I'll give it to someone else
I'll give it to like fucking hell you will I
give it to blink blink Was that the bad choice
It was at least different which is what we're
going for here look around waiting to see if
the weather changes But there is no like dramatic
shift. I don't want to have to fight a guard.
I don't think we have to Think we just we don't
we don't we need to find another way to get to
That guy we need to find somebody else who's
going to be there, right? Lead the way I actually
thought that we were doing pretty good job the
first time you got to talk to him Be obi got
to talk to him. I don't really know what happened
or what you fucked up that made us restart the
day I told you did he say anything about what
we need to do fine be obi. That's it I think
the most likely attendant of whatever this party
is would be that other goblin, Grusak. I don't
think so. I hate that guy. No, not him. I don't
know. I feel like he and these guys fall on different
sides of the spectrum. You could be right. Does
Biobi keep the tiara on him? This guy said he
was a sort of sheriff or or keeper of the law
or something to that effect. So maybe if we go
do some like really Good. Maybe if we clean up
the city, he'll talk to us the opposite Uh, well
you guys are figuring out what you're doing.
I'm gonna jump to bob real quick. Oh question,
uh start of a new day. Does Keila still have
my amulet? Yes, because anything that has to
do with you does not get undone. Got it. Cool.
Cool We cut to Watley and you sitting on the
stage and you're eating like sandwiches white
bread ham and cheese sandwiches I kind of grimace
through each bite. It's like it's it's good and
he Doesn't pick up on the fact that you don't
like it. He says You're pretty much ready for
tonight. So I think so. I got it down. Do you
sleep? I sleep a lot. Okay Well, I like sleep.
I appreciate you In a way, volunteering to help
me with my little ceremony tonight. Yeah. Your
friends should make it, I think. I have it on
good authority, they will. Where are my friends?
Are they okay? Oh, they're fine. Oh, okay. They're
actually looking for you right now. Oh. Well,
that's nice of them. And I'm sure they're not
wasting any time. I'm sure they're not either.
Camera cuts to blink hogtied. And he says, I'm
not supposed to give people too much preface
about what they're gonna be up against, but since
you're part of the show for the night, so to
speak, here. And he reaches behind his back where
he super doesn't have pockets and pulls out like
a lanyard of sorts that has a little like medieval
times VIP thing sort of, but it doesn't say VIP
or medieval times. It's just a black card with
a white W on it to denote something. And he says,
There's this whole system about getting people
to think you're cool. You can skip that. Do you
think they'll still... Do you think they'll still
think I'm cool? Well, if you have one of these
lanyards on it basically means you're cool. If
you see someone else with this lanyard on, you
can probably talk to them. They're gonna be cool.
And they're cool. 98 % chance they're cool. 2
% chance they killed someone for it. Cool. I
think so. Cool. Sometimes. Cool. They agree.
It's, uh, consensual. Cool! Anyway... Want to
run it one more time? Yeah, maybe I should key
you in if you don't get it exactly right right
at midnight We have to wait until tomorrow to
do it again. Oh and Yeah, the dance. Yeah the
dance. Oh No, yeah, we should run it again Okay,
hop up and he hops down and he like brushes off
his you should probably finish your sandwich
real quick. Oh I'm really full. It was uh, I
actually had a big breakfast with a Have you
had a porch? Yeah Tastes like poor people food.
That's what, uh, uh, Blink said! And it does!
It's disgusting! Yeah. But, hey, I'm gonna let
you in on a secret. Okay. There's no one... He
uses magic to, like, pull you slightly closer
to him. And you say... Go ahead. If you put glass
in it. Makes it pretty good and he uncurls his
finger and pushes you And he goes okay from the
top. Let's go straightens up his red bandana
brushes off his cowboy boots and says I'm ready
tips his hat and begins to What's the song again?
We cut back to the rest of the game this is West
like that And you have a card and you're on a
bridge and people aren't looking at you funny
cuz you're not saying as insane shit Last time
link is going around the shore of like the bank
of the river and he's picking up trash Okay Wow
So no, that's cool. No, he's trying to be a good
person. I'll consider. Yeah, I'll consider the
mechanical implication Maybe if he does some
good deeds on this run something positive will
happen. Yeah, this is just groundhog day. Yeah
All right. You got that whatly guy to talk to
you. Yeah, Chris. Yeah, he sort of just popped
you out Yeah, he did. Okay, so what you did You
shot your arrow Thorns bloomed up whatever weird
magic shit I imagine and that's what got his
attention As far as I could tell the only the
only similarities between me and biobi disappearing
were violence against the guards When you got
teleported, what were the surroundings like in
the other place like this? It was just like this,
but you guys couldn't see or hear us and When
biobi disappeared, I don't know where he went
He just disappeared I thought he was going to
appear beside us. Understood. But he never did.
So what you're saying is I should go shoot that
guy? I maybe want Leo come back? It's not what
I'm saying, but I'm not going to stop you. Why
don't we? Where's Blake? He'll stop. He'll try
and stop me. And it'll be a real thorn in my
side. So why are you looking for him? Just do
it. I'm just making sure he's not here. He's
not. He's close, but he's like far enough away.
Full send. Yuck. I could. but that didn't work
out so great for us the last time. I really think
we need to find somebody else who's going to
be at this party. Well, what's the difference
between what you did and what B .O .B. did? I
think nothing. I think it was magic shit. I light
a ship on fire and it's like, yeah, whatever.
You shoot a normal arrow and it's like, yeah,
I cast a spell. Thorns burst out of the ground
weird fucking shit Weird shit, I don't know.
Maybe it's robot shit. Well Chris you you trip
the guard and you got a lecture biob was defending
Kila Yeah, whose fault was that? So really I
actually think it's Blink's fault. Yeah. Yeah,
you're okay as long as it's not yours I'm just
saying that we wouldn't have been in the problem
that we were in If Blink had kept his fucking
hands off of me. Or if the card hadn't gotten
lost. How many fingers are we gonna point? Biobie
lost the card. What do we do? What do we do?
I don't know, you were talking to the guy. All
I know is that we need to find Biobie. He didn't
seem super fond of me. Can I go out to one of
the guards? Sure. I wanted to ask, hey, if there
were a private detective of a sword, a magic
sword. Where might they dwell? I have a very
important message to deliver. Are you looking
for a private worker or someone who works for
the city? I dart my eyes over to the rest of
the party and I'm like... Is he kind of a dick?
Oh, yeah. You're probably thinking Vance Alexander.
No, no. I know him. No, the other one. Like a
V but add another V and then put them together.
Ah you're talking about magical disciplines Yes,
yeah, if you don't know his name. We probably
shouldn't tell you he takes care of the The real
bad apples so to speak so uh Nova real bad apple
you would like to know immediately ah They give
the two guards look at each other, and they say
I don't know how to explain this to you, dude,
but uh There's going to be an attack on this
bridge in just a few minutes. They look at each
other and they say, well, we can alert the normal
guard, but trust me, the man you're talking about
doesn't like to be bothered with mundane issues.
He'll show up if it's worth his time. Oh, that's
well and good. Where might he be found just day
to day? I don't even think I know that. And he
looks at the other guard and the other guard
shakes his head and he says, Haven't had too
many officials living Somewhere we could just
walk up and meet them in a long time. They're
very Powerful people they're probably not even
in quell half the time a shame I guess we'll
have to get his attention some other way and
they sort of put their hands towards their swords
and like what you mean by that I start I'm just
strolling away at this point. Oh nothing look
over my shoulder nothing two guards shoot each
other one more glance and Sit there and huddled
conversation as you walk away back to your group.
We probably do have to do the same thing. But
better. All right. Do the same thing, but better.
That means blink. Have we learned any lessons
from last time we did this? If you want to kill
another man, that's on your hands. Great. So
you're going to keep yours off of me. He just
shrugs. I don't think we have to kill anybody.
No, just attack. Why don't we take turns walking
up to the guards and and give them a good old
good old slap? Yeah, Kayla go slap a guard now
that I know it's not gonna get us killed or in
prison It's worth a shot right? Should we try
it? Should we hold the day and just keep resetting?
Do you guys want to dress trust for who goes
first? I think Blink should go first Blink How
much do you care about B .O .B.? Obviously, how
much do you care about b. Obie not enough blink?
How much do you care about b. Obie you seem to
really care about your moral alignment your friend
is missing What would you do to get him back
Chris? Do you think this is the only way I? have
no idea I I really don't know they it's it's
either try the same thing again or We go be good
civilians. Try to find somebody else who's going
to be at this party. Which, as Vayne said, Gruzak.
I don't think he's going to be at this party.
I don't think Gruzak will. I wouldn't invite
Gruzak to my party. If we're looking for bad
guys, he's the worst of the worst. Are we looking
for bad guys? I don't know. Chris, did you feel
like Watley was a bad guy? You sort of did a
bad thing and got in trouble for it. It's really
tough to know. It really is. It's real. Think
just show off your magic a little bit. They'll
see what you're doing and it'll draw him to you.
Trust me Yeah, yeah give a shot if it doesn't
work we just run and the next I tried but it
didn't work last time the next idea we have maybe
you have to do something violent the next idea
we have is to Try to find somebody else who's
gonna be at this party Which I don't think is
going to be people in that side of town gesturing
to like the the poor Kind of area. If this doesn't
work, the day resets, right? Probably. I hold
up my hand and I say, tell you what, I have a
cantrip. I have Eldritch Blast. I'll just shoot
at the same time as you. We'll do it together.
That way, if there's any negative outcome, we're
both in it. Me and you. I hold up my hand. I
need Keela to swear she'll never bring this up
again. Keela. What do you mean? Just let all
this shit go Please do a bad thing and he doesn't
want me to remember that he did a bad thing So
that way later down he's doing a bad thing now
for you and for b .ob and all of us doing shit
for me But blink doesn't want me to hold the
bad thing over his head because then he can't
yell at me as much as he does Cuz he's oh so
right. Are we on the bridge? Yeah, you're on
I shove her off the bridge We're doing the same
This time fully just as hard as he can straight
off the bridge What is that contested athletics
contested acrobatics? I mean I would like to
do acrobatics if I can yeah me too Technically
the rule says Shover has to use athletics. Okay.
Um I'll allow wouldn't that wouldn't that be
a Like strength saving throw then a shove is
a special melee attack that you push them and
knock them prone Pushes them five feet you make
a strength athletics check the target makes a
athletics or acrobatics check shit Okay, if you
win you push the target five feet Which is will
be enough to push her over so he's an athletics
and I'm an athletics or acrobatics correct sucker
You roll first Okay, come on man So ten Seventeen
plus eight Does inspiration carry from the last
session? It carries in caps at three. I have
one more then I'm gonna use it What do you have
to be? What is it plus two? 17 18 19 20 21 22
23 24 25. I can't even beat that. It's impossible.
Yeah Unless they're not 20, right? Yeah, you
could try for that. Yeah, burn your inspiration.
See what happens. Damn. Get in that 20 now. Good
try. No, lower. Good try, good try. I really
respect that. I'll give you a point of inspiration
that you can't use right now. Just retry her.
Kayla, how do you respond? I would argue that,
like, she's standing still, so I push her, and
she just, like, stands still or, like, dodges
it. I don't think she brick walls you. I think
she just kind of, like, doesn't... Go the way
you want her to she moves her weight So you just
push her back like a foot, and she's like what
the fuck you were trying to push me I pull a
gun why why we got sent back in time now. We're
doing the exact same thing We're not doing the
exact same thing no If you're mad about this
you should tell blink to keep his fucking hands
to himself. Don't kill it and stop using mean
words Welcome to my world your feelings are hurt.
You need to go cry in a fucking corner. What
are you three years old? He's trying really hard
not to cry Fucking grip the guards start walking
over If we cast magic, I don't hurt blink and
it's harmful to a citizen it will Get Wally's
attention. Well, I can't do magic. So that's
the rest of you guys. I'll fuck it. I'll do it.
Should I? I mean, they're coming over here. Should
I? I don't know. Do whatever you want. I don't
know. I don't know what to do. I don't know what
to do. I almost want to ask Blake. Can I have
that card? Yeah, take it. Thanks, bro. He hands
it over. Can I have 150 gold? No. Yeah, and I
take it and oh man The guards are coming. Yeah,
but they don't seem high alert. They're just
like, oh, there's a dispute. I'm gonna go get
involved Blink's gonna like hand the card to
Chris and then he's gonna walk forward and without
looking back I don't think we're friends anymore
Kila I've had he's gonna go up to the guard walking
and like as like casually but like he's angry
One hand on the guards like chest plate and he's
gonna do shocking grasp Okay, can I honor what
I said just earlier and that I would do the attack
at the same time as him sure Okay, fucking eldritch
blast. So wait for melee. It's eight plus melee
spell attack You are just adding your spell casket
modifier in your proficiency 24 yeah, that'll
hit. Oh, it's the damage 1d8 lightning damage
and it can't take reactions until the start of
its next turn. Okay vein roll to hit Same guard
or different guard? Same guard. Can it be the
guy that got hit with a magic missile? This poor
man. Yeah. 13. I don't think 13 hits. Dang. It's
all good. Just the die six. Cool. You zap this
guy for six damage as you hand that to Chris.
and you grab this guy's armor, and as you go
to send the current through him, Plink zaps out
of existence. POB, you're sitting there with
Watley, you're dancing, and you just see him
go, oh shit, and disappear real quick. It's just
you and Doug in this cave in your outfit. Woody
what whaty whaty okay? I'm gonna cut away That's
so good back to Everyone who just saw blink to
spear we'll get to blink in a sec. Oh, okay.
I just missed I guess That was a 16 plus five
so okay 21 you shoot a ray of cackling energy
at the same guy who just got zapped and You similarly
watch vein snap out of existence. I'm like As
you're in darkness by yourself trying so hard
yeah, all right That sort of handles a lot of
my problems that had going on so What is the
status of the guards? Are they still like advancing?
Are they cooked? Are they... You see the one
that just got... In fact, I don't think Vayne
actually does hit with the Eldritch Blast. I
think Shocking Grass does shock the guy, but
you see Eldritch Blast just stop in midair and
Vayne disappears. But the guards look a little
confused and flabbergasted and like they don't
know what to do. But one of them picks up their
whistle and blows it. All right, Chris, how do
you want to do this? We can either tail it and
get the fuck out of dodge or we can handle this
shit on the bridge. All I know is Watley was
not happy about how we handled things last time.
And last time that included attacking those guards.
I didn't do anything wrong last time. Sure, I'll
give you that. But I don't think the solution
is to do what the others did. So the solution
is to just get arrested. That's not a solution
either. Obviously, all right, so you want to
book it we can make it we did last time it's
definitely an option The guards are moving towards
you And you got about two seconds to decide whether
or not I'm intervening. Yes, we had a run I don't
want to but doing the same thing again is not
going to get us where we want to go All right,
don't worry. I'll do something different and
I again and I Shout out into the void cuz I know
Because I was there last time and I say I Just
say I'm trying and I start running Okay, there
are as you start sprinting away from the guards
at the far end You see a group of four guards
run onto the far end of the bridge So you have
two guards in the direction that you attacked
and then four more coming to fill the far side.
Oh, man We're doing this my way bunny. No, I'm
out I I'm gonna do whatever I can to get away
probably probably try to you're not making us
like Roll initiative not yet very soon. They're
far enough away that no one's making a move,
but they are trying to close in on you So if
you have a plan now do it I guess I'm going in
the river and I'm coming downstream You watch
Chris dive into the water. Yeah, that's crazy.
There's two in front of me four behind me. Yep
Yeah, I could take them. Okay All right, I'm
gonna do the old slash and shoot The classic
Want to burn my last point of inspiration 16
to hit with that sword that hits so slash across
and then I pull a pistol natural 20 That is with
the pistol and because it's only a d5 d5 yeah
or d6 d5 would just mean reroll the six Five
five yeah, you pull a pistol off your bandolier
level it at a guy's face and pull the trigger
and in an instant everything goes white You feel
water on your skin as the air around you turns
to a thick fog and You see just the silhouettes
of people in an area around you all of the guards
are going to make a save as this mist erupts
from the pistol and instead of an explosion there
is a dribble of water out of the barrel of this
pistol and as this seafoam spray Of mist fills
the bridge in an area around you you blink out
of existence Chris you hear some bodies hit the
water on the bridge behind you no pistols go
off You are in a pretty fast moving river not
so fast that you couldn't climb out later But
it is sort of moving you along All of your friends
are gone. It is just you floating along any moves
Just want to float along until I'm certain that
I'm untrackable anymore or I can get out and
not be seen Anything like that guys the river
goes straight. I'm sure it curves a little bit.
Yeah Yeah, you're definitely moving faster than
people running along the river if you like cool
used to go with it Yeah, I just go until I'm
certain that I'm not being followed anymore and
I get out as you're writing down the river floating
you do notice that under One of the wider it's
not even a bridge it actually is more of like
a tunnel for the river to go through As you were
floating through this tunnel There is a offshoot
that some of the water is going into but it's
maybe like one 100th of the water of this flowing
river is shooting down this tributary It seems
to be a pretty big opening that you could choose
to go that way. Yeah. Yeah, okay You choose to
divert yourself and go down there Yeah in the
interest of escaping right? It's a hiding spot.
Yeah, you find yourself in a tiny Do you have
dark vision? No, definitely not a tiny dark cave
that is not illuminated at all Do you have any
means of producing light? You might have a torch
if you have an adventurer's back sure, but you
are in a small place Cramped at first you have
to duck to move through and as you start to dry
off your your torch handles and wrap it in new
oil so you can set it ablaze. You light up your
path and are able to see that this is a man -made
tunnel system that is underneath this city. That's
all you got. It's a man -made tunnel system and
you have no idea how far deep it goes. It's dark,
there is no light. Is it like one straight tunnel
going one way or there's different paths? As
far as you can see right now, it's one straight
tunnel. And I can't go back the way I came. You
could if you wanted. It would be like a little
bit of a struggle up the water, but you could
do it Okay, if you had an infinite amount of
times to roll the d20. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I'll
travel down the way that the tunnel goes to see
where it leads and wait for any sort of like
branching path or I and and the river is going
through this uh the water all seems to It's keeping
the floor in this section sleek or slick but
it doesn't look like this was originally water's
not supposed to be here. So instead of creating
a new river, it just kind of is draining off
this way and then dispersing back into the ground.
It's kind of fizzling out. I just follow the
tunnel. I don't want to be seen or detected.
So I guess I'm trying to sneak through and see
what's down here. Cool. Yeah. We're going to
cut to the rest of you. B .O .B. Yeah. Wotley
comes back and he says, all right. I need you
to keep practicing. I have to go talk with your
friends. They're okay. They're okay? Yep, and
they'll be here to hang out with you tonight.
However, you see how you're like a VIP with that?
Yeah. They, well they made worse choices. So
they're gonna kind of be the opposite of you.
Did I make good choices? You made good choices.
You did? And I'm asking you to do me a favor
for the sake of educating your friends. Okay.
They are going to want you to give them what
you've earned here. This lanyard. Yeah. Because
they are going to have the opposite of this lanyard.
They're gonna have a version that is more of
a punishment. Oh. So I need you to keep this
because you've earned it. It will be their jobs
to get rid of their punishment and then try to
earn what you have. You can help them. I won't
stop you. Yeah. But don't give them the thing
you've earned. I understand. You'd be hurting
them by not letting them learn this lesson. That
they can't ride on your back forever. Oh. But
what if I'm really big? Then they could ride
on my back. They could. But have you ever heard
the saying about teaching a man to fish? Definitely.
He eats forever. Give a man a fish. He eats for
a day. Oh, that's not what I've heard. I sincerely
wish I had more time to hear what you've heard.
That's fair. But do you think you could promise
me that? I can promise you that I will not give
them this lanyard because they need to earn their
lanyard that is good, not the lanyard that is
bad. Very good. And I will even go so far as
to say that this lanyard in anyone else's hands
probably wouldn't be good. I think I understand.
Very good. Are they really coming for me? This
has kind of been a long time and it feels like
maybe they're not. He stops for a second You
see him think and he says they've been Working
overtime to get here trust me. It's not as easy
as it looks Okay, they'll catch the opening ceremony.
Don't worry. I have one more question He looks
at a watch that doesn't exist and he says okay
one more Okay, so I got this lanyard because
I did something good to earn it correct, but
what I did It doesn't feel good. It felt like
I did something bad. I attacked someone. Oh,
that part was awful. Oh, okay, that's a bad thing.
That part was a very bad thing. Oh, that was
a bad thing. The good thing is the dancing you're
doing. Oh! I don't know how these things connect.
You'll see. Okay. And then he's like, great,
and he disappears again. Bye. The three of you
once again feel the space around you change,
but you are still in darkness. However, the...
white porcelain figure of Watley shows up and
he snaps his finger and there's a slight illumination
between the three of you and you can see a similar
floor to the place B .O .B.'s at and he looks
across all three of you and he says, so you get
a second try and you do the exact same thing.
Well, it's not like we were given clear instructions
and from what I can tell, second try worked a
wee bit better than the first. Is that what you
think? We were trying not to. Exactly the opposite
of what we did last time. He clocks his head
at you, and he says, did guards get hurt? I spent
so long yesterday trying to prevent that. So
why undo it today? I just glare at Kelo. Because
he's not good enough. That's what. I told him
not to meddle. I told him to keep his hands off
me. Between the three of you, you can all have
an equal punishment or you can decide. A majority
vote whose fault this is and they'll have a complete
punishment blanks. I lock eyes with vein Yeah,
I look at both of them. I'm like I Was under
the impression that the way to get over here
was using magic That was my idea so if that is
the Sin that we're being punished for I will
gladly take the blame Yeah, it's probably Vayne's
fault then. No, no, no, no, that's not what I
was looking at you. I was trying to like make
eye contact, not point at your fault. No, no,
I know, but that was what I was gonna do anyway.
Vayne's just a good boy. Hurting somebody with
magic is a good way to see me, but I've met a
lot of people who have gotten to my parties without
maiming anyone. So maybe the easiest option isn't
what you should do every single time. How's that
sound? I didn't hurt anybody with magic. You
did. Whether you know it or not, which... You
and I need to speak because usually when I undo
things small things don't stick around so I don't
know why that happened Your friend Chris is sneaking
through the catacombs of the city basically right
now I'll bring him here in a second, but you
kind of let him down What do you mean let him
down? He didn't exactly give us like a step one
two three like go do this He told me to do this
Well, it's not like you gave Chris any direction
words like hey I don't want your friends to do
this shit So how about you just bring them over
here? Tell them where to go meet me over here
Parties over here. Do you notice that Chris didn't
need the extra instruction? Well, you just sort
of grabbed him I don't know. He knew as much
as you did. Well, they're still like, we didn't
- And I believe, I think you said I can take
them as more people showed up. I think you were
willing to kill more people in that moment. So
do the three of you want to make a vote or just
take your individual punishments? Remember, when
you're swimming, it doesn't make sense to carry
an anchor around. Yeah, blink. Sorry, it was
nice to have you around. And he keeps looking
with you guys at Keila. Blink's gonna say...
I just think you should keep your hands to yourself.
Keila, shut up. Oh my god! I swing! I swing!
Hang on, I swing! Oh, there is more, but... Give
me a... Wisdom save. 12. Okay, you are paralyzed
seconds what we say I Smirk and laugh hard at
Kila. Oh You only get six seconds before I recommend
you I take one step away If punishing me means
that it keeps me away from her then I'll take
the big punishment Dude we're beefing right now
It doesn't mean that. You sure you want to be
a hero? Just means you'll have to do more work
than her. How it seems to go anyway. I'll take
it. How noble. Sucker. You're gonna let him?
I think we all should. If that's what you have
in mind. I would like to learn what it is you're
doing here. Why you took our goblet. The only
way one of you takes the punishment for others
is with a vote. So, if you simply choose not
to vote, then you'll all take even punishment.
Fair enough. Does the punishment get worse if
it's just for one person? Wait, is her vote not
counted anymore then? It would count, but its
abstaining doesn't change the total. So like,
if you vote Kela, and Kela votes Vayne, and Vayne
votes no one, no pass. But if I'm voting myself,
we all know what she's gonna pick. You as well.
I guess that would work. Yeah, that would work
blink You don't have to do that. You can make
that choice at any time if that's what you want
to do Yeah, yeah exactly. Yeah, so I think after
blink said that then like the votes done. Yeah,
cool. Very good Then as you make that vote, he
says great why don't we jump to tonight and he
snaps his fingers and you guys end up in a large
cavern You all see Bo be standing next to Doug
in the middle of this cavern in a very dim light
He is wearing cowboy boots And he looks a little
tired like maybe he's been dancing all day And
as you stand in this space you can't fully have
facilities. Keila, that paralyzed feeling that
you had is now extended to everyone as you watch
B .O .B. standing there alone. And then about
this is happening about 30 feet away from you.
You see Watley blink into existence next to B
.O .B. and he says, we have about 45 seconds.
Oh, ignore them. I need you to be focused. And
when he says ignore them and waves his hand.
They like disappear from your view. They are
gone But they can still see you can still see
BoB they can I'm in the oh yeah, you're in the
dungeon yeah, and he says oh that's right and
He looks away and snaps his fingers and we cut
to Chris who is moving through this underground
cave system and as you are walking past a Side
alley you look down it and it is pitch black
you take a few more steps you hear a very similar
magical sound of a string of an instrument snapping
and That corridor behind you is now glowing a
flat bright white, okay? If you are looking at
the flat white space, you don't quite see the
space like they do they're saying the dark stone
floor and The bone rib pillars that support the
sides of this building you were just seeing like
a flat white low animation space like it's just
storyboarded basically with the exception of
a full color full resolution b .o .b. and his
cowboy outfit standing there looking at a very
like wobbly loose outline of Doug and a wobbly
loose outline of Wadley and you can't hear what's
going on but the only thing that looks normal
is b .o .b. And if I went towards this looks
like a doorway or something and if I went towards
this As you get just outside of it and linger
for a minute, you hear, very warped and almost
like it's underwater, you hear Watley's voice
say, oh, wait, that reminds me. It's like this
weird echo of a repeat of this same scene over
and over again. What? Fuck. I jump in the thing.
Baby lock them doors and turn the lights
