Dungeons and Daddies is a rowdy, horny, violent podcast for grown-ups.
Content warnings can be found in the episode description.
No, that won't do. That won't do at all.
Get it.
Yep, that's me.
You're probably wondering how I got into this crazy situation.
Well, it all started when we came to Neverwinter to rescue my two beautiful boys, Lark and Sparrow.
Turns out they were up to their usual high jinks trying to summon some kind of eldritch god while disguised as a lord of chaos.
We had a diggity dickens of a time busted out of the jail cell.
They threw us into while the rest of the dads made friends with a mysterious shapeshifter.
Yours truly got some one-on-one time with Sparrow,
or should I say one on wolf time?
I convinced my son not to summon the doodler.
And now David Boreanaz wants to spill my blood,
make no bones about it.
This guy's no angel.
What's a dad to do?
Stay tuned to find out on this week's Dungeons & Daddies.
Welcome to Dungeons & Daddies, the D&D podcast.
A D&D.
The only one.
The premier D&D podcast. Critical roles suck my ass.
Adventure Zone, eat my butt.
You're right, Freddie.
You were going to say the D&D podcast about four.
I mean, we are the only podcast about four dads.
Actually, we're the only podcast. If you in 99 invisible you get this podcast the only podcast it's me diane reem
welcome to dungeons and daddies a dnd podcast about four dads from our world transported into
the forgotten realms on the quest to rescue their sons my name is freddie wong i play glenn close bard rock and roll dad and fun fact about glenn
this week about 50 on whether or not we did the moon landings he's actually not sure he's a
skeptic that makes sense he's a skeptic fucking asshole he's just sitting here he's you know what
he just has some questions if every enemy targets glenn for the rest of this episode you know why
i'm matthew arnold and I play Daryl Wilson
the stay at home coach dad who's a barbarian
and little fact about Daryl
when he caught his father as
Santa Claus when he was 8 years
old he actually still believed in Santa Claus
for another 3 years just
that his dad was Santa Claus
that's beautiful
so he was like bragging at school
yeah he was like oh of course school. Yeah. He was like,
Oh,
of course my dad,
Santa.
That makes sense.
Um,
Hey,
what's up?
I'm Beth May and I play Ron Stampler,
emotionally detached stepfather.
Fun fact about Ron is he knows every Eminem lyric,
every Eminem song.
That old Marshall Mathers.
Oh no. Slim shady. Ron knows it all. Don't mess.
Will Ron be giving us a demonstration this episode? I don't know if you're ready for it.
Do you have like genius.com open in another tab just ready to reference the entire library? I'm literally just hoping I could be like, dear Freddie, I wrote you, but you still ain't calling.
library. I'm literally just hoping I could be like, dear Freddie, I wrote you, but you still
ain't calling.
Hey everyone, Will Campos, I play
Henry Oak, geologist,
granola, Birkenstock dad.
Fun fact about Henry, he's had an
Ani DiFranco CD stuck in his
Prius since he bought it. He tells
people it's stuck in there, but he really just doesn't
want to listen to anything else.
I am Anthony Birch, I am your
daddy master.
Just as a sort of... I laugh every time.
I keep wanting to be like, yes.
If you're looking into
DMing games with your friends and stuff like that,
I just want to caution you. Don't buy
every single
different book for every single DM
system that you find interesting because I own
literally 15 and I just keep playing D&D like a dumb idiot. And I've read them all too. And
they're like 300 page books. It's a dumb thing to do with your time. We get it, Anthony. You read.
What a nerd.
Oh my God.
Welcome to episode five, The Lord of Chaos, Part 3.
Okay, so the Lizard Man, the one that you spared in massive sarcasm quotation marks because you just missed your opportunity attack.
He runs and opens a panel on a wall that you didn't see before and smacks it.
And a stairway appears that heads upward.
And you remember that a couple of floors above you
is the armory where all of your stuff is.
And presumably many more flights above that
is wherever Henry is fighting.
And then Lark is in a cell?
You've locked Lark into a cell.
And in addition to that,
there is another cell that has a guy with a hood in it
that you haven't spoken to.
Hey, hooded bro, what's up, man?
What are you in here for?
He turns to you and lowers the hood
and you see that he's a snake.
Ugh.
Oh.
One of those guys.
And he just goes,
does anybody speak snake?
Hey, Darrell Wilson,
when a man asks you a question,
you should answer,
and I put his hand out.
So what are you in here for, brother?
He slithers.
He slithers onto your hand.
Ooh.
And then just sort of goes up your arm and onto...
Are you doing anything to stop this?
How big is the snake?
He's the size of a man.
The moment he gets around my hand, I go, oh, and I try to pull away.
Okay, cool.
Careful, Daryl.
Remember, red touches yellow.
You're a dead fellow.
Red next to black
you're okay Jack
I know your name's Daryl
but you're okay Jack
thanks
yeah does he have poisonous markings
in like based on that rhyme
yes according to that rhyme
you're a dead fellow
if he chooses to bite you
so you pull him out
he continues to hold on to your arm
and as he goes through the bars
you can see like
this like wavy shimmer almost as if there was some sort of barrier preventing him from getting through the
holes in the bars that somehow your hand your masculine handshake uh broke so he crawls off
of your gross arm and goes down your gross body and your gross legs and very judgy this session
guys a very sexual session yeah could you give me that description again?
I did note that Freddie dropped the Not A BDSM podcast from his intro,
so we'll see where this one goes.
He's not like a snake man.
He's just a snake that is the size of a man,
and he gets up on his tail and, like, bounces himself vertically
and then, like, bends in the middle to, like, bow to you
and then begins to slip away.
What?
Wow.
Well, uh,
shape-shifting girl over there,
what are you doing?
I put my hand out.
Daryl Wilson, that was an odd one.
What were you doing in there?
I was just ignoring it.
I didn't mean to do anything
because otherwise he just goes into a crack in the wall
and he's gone.
A fucking dolly-esque fever dream moment.
It's like some Mexican magical realism film all of a sudden.
Hey, everyone else is welcome.
Daryl's very confused and is definitely going to go talk to this shape-shifting girl.
50% sure that that actually happened.
I remember seeing this once in an LSD flashback Glenn is like
slightly more probable than the moon landing
oh my god
okay
this is a weird French ass
animation we're watching
I just really hope Anthony had this whole
elaborate backstory plan for this
snake like what the snake was
doing there like he's so
pivotal to this story and Matt's
just like, we'll see.
It's a little calm
A, a little calm B.
Every idea I come up with
I have to temper my excitement for it with
the knowledge that you dumb idiots will just strip
down nude and completely invalidate the
combat I had planned. Hey, that snake is
showing up elsewhere.
He's Chek he's check off snake now so again i say uh shape shifting girl uh that's quite a trick you got there uh what were you doing
in that cell so she forms herself back into the shape of the crying girl why are you still crying
yeah oh my gosh stop crying oh she's like oh sorry this is my default to try to engender sympathy
and her she stops crying she continues to cry for a second and you realize that her tears
don't dry they go back into her skin and like like go back like it's like it's the same mass
being like reused in a cycle of like fake tears a cool fountain the bellagio
daryl definitely starts instantly looking for he's very aware he's naked when that happens
like seeing that sort of like that thing happens that body i'm like i'm naked now i need to find my clothes
she's like thanks for for getting me out um i was just gonna bolt do you guys want to come with
our buddies up there may or may not have turned into a wolf
unsure i feel like we gotta help him out so um maybe you could bolt in our direction yeah we helped you out it
only makes sense that you could help us out i actually have you heard of the daryl barrel special
there's oh darn it we were supposed to give beer to that woman back in that in that town
oh you're criminals too you were like you weren't imprisoned unjustly like you clearly did whatever
you were accused of.
Is that cool to you?
Yes.
Cool, yes.
Yes, we are criminals.
We are criminals.
Okay.
Well, if that's the case, you can help me get all my stuff.
I don't know if that would help you with your wolf problem.
Down into the armory?
Yeah.
Hey, Henry!
Guys, where do you think Henry is?
I don't know.
I think we should get our stuff, though.
Seeing as we're all naked minus Ron and it does feel
weird and it's a very compromising position that
we're in here. Three naked dudes
and one shirtless dude and a crying girl.
Quick naked dad huddle.
Oh God. Naked dad huddle. This is
very close. I'm very close to you guys. Are we going
upstairs? The dad huddle is like
notably a little airier than usual.
Everyone's arms are just a little
No, no, no. As you drive, Daryl pulls you in very close.
Daryl's not letting you get away.
Do we trust this lady?
Well, I think we need our stuff.
And if she was going to do something to us,
she'd probably have like done it now.
So seeing as we're probably the most vulnerable
we will ever be in any given situation,
I think we should go get our stuff.
All right.
We're going to cut back up to Sparrow and Henry. Cross-cutting this episode. I love it. Finally, my time to shine by myself.
Now the real role play begins. Henry, you are on the roof and you have your son next to you and
you are in wolf form. And David Boreanaz and his cadre of soldiers are about to attack you
to try and summon the doodlers. So go ahead and roll initiative. I got a 15 plus 270.
Okay, cool.
So you are currently fighting a group of people
that is large enough that I'm basically
just gonna treat them as one massive, horrible blob.
Just so you know what the layout of this area is,
it's a big tower that sort of has no real,
like there's no handrails or balcony stuff
to protect you from falling off.
And in the center- No OSHA from falling off. And in the center...
No OSHA in this universe.
And in the center of the tower is the big spike pit with all the blood and everything in it.
And you're also surrounded by innocent people.
It is identical to the skyscraper map from Mario Kart 64.
Okay, that helps a lot.
Will, you have power slide and then hop between those two little gaps.
I scan about for floating gems that can turn into power
ups. So you actually have the better
initiative. So you and Sparrow get to go
first. And I'm going to play for Sparrow, but
for the sake of not being boring, you can sort of
direct Sparrow what to do. Okay, we're still
on the elevator, right? You are still on the
elevator, yeah. Okay, is there like a down
button on the elevator? Yes. Okay,
I frantically hit the down button
where I paw at it in wolf form.
Actually, roll dexterity to see if you can paw
at it with your wolf hands.
I got a 19. Ooh, okay, so you
successfully hit the down button, and it begins
to chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga. Oh, he's like one of those
dogs that can shake.
Boreanaz
and, let's see, let's
roll for their speed.
So Boreanaz and two other guards managed to jump onto it
before it gets to the point where you would start taking damage for jumping down.
I would call that a minor action because you're just reaching out.
Do you want to do something else?
Okay.
Hold on one second.
I'm just reading up about my beast shape.
Yeah, you got like sick beast power-ups, dude.
You can stay up in beast shape for one hour.
Any longer, call your doctor.
You get a free
t-shirt that says beast mode and it doesn't
have any sleeves and you go to LA
Fitness.
Ask your doctor if being a wolf is right
for you. I cast
CrossFit.
Okay, let's see.
Your game statistics are replaced
by the statistics of the beast but
you retain your alignment personality and intelligence wisdom and charisma okay well
i have the wolf stats right in front of me okay cool can you tell me like what i could do because
i feel like i might just you have bite as a melee roll over you have uh you have advantage on
perception checks that rely on hearing or smell um you have advantage on any attack if you're next
to a friend and you also have a bite that is actually pretty damaging it's 2d4 plus 2 oh shit yeah i'm gonna fucking bite david borianis
right in his beautiful face that's what i'm gonna do right aiming for that money maker right away
hey man you hit him where it hurts all right you want to roll a d20 and add four to it okay
uh 17 plus 4 21 oh okay good roll that bite makes it, so go ahead and roll 2d4 and then add 2.
8 damage.
Jesus Christ.
David Boreanaz looking like Vamp Face Angel right now.
All right, um, I'm just really quickly giving Boreanaz more health.
And he has a snake friend.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I can finally be with my best friend, Boreanaz.
He kept me in here as a weird sex thing.
It was not because he didn't like me.
So that will be your turn.
Sparrow is going to say, so is being a hug wolf, does that involve violence as well?
I am fighting them.
I'm going to fight them.
Hug wolves hug with their mouths.
I see. Fighting time!
And so he's gonna try to
bite Boreanaz as well.
And his teeth just
managed to get a hold of the skin on
Boreanaz's exposed knee, because he has
a little empty patch there in his
chainmail. So cool.
It's to make it look worn and neat.
Oh, yeah, yeah. It's crazy. Actually, you can buy pre-hold chainmail. So cool. It's to make it look worn and neat. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's crazy. Actually, you can buy
pre-hauled chainmail.
It looks like peasant's chainmail,
but it's way more expensive.
Sharks hate him.
So he bites him
on the knee. It doesn't draw any blood, but he's like,
Dad, I'm doing it. Are you proud of me, Dad?
Still, I have a mouthful of Boreanaz,
so I go, uh-huh.
I wish I could say the same.
I was waiting for it.
I'm sorry.
It's weird that I literally thought the exact same thing and was like, it's not the same.
It's not weird.
I was literally just watching season two of Angel.
Season two, huh?
Yeah.
Primo.
I guess, yeah, that's Boreanaz at his hottest.
Okay, so Boreanaz irritated his hottest okay so Boreanaz
irritated by the fact
that he's getting
double bitten by
the Oak family
I thought he didn't
notice the knee one
that's true
yeah
he didn't notice
the knee one
he's still getting
double bitten
if you know what I mean
I don't know what you mean
I don't either
he's gonna draw a dagger
from his belt
and try to stab
Henry in the throat
this is a good day for the Oak family.
He just sort of wails randomly at the air,
and you feel like some of your fur get cut off,
but fucking nothing.
But because he's a boss, he gets to go twice.
All right, so 12 plus four.
What is your AC?
My AC is 15.
Oh, actually, sorry, you have the AC of a wolf now.
I have the AC of a wolf.
Yeah, so you're only at AC of 13.
Shoot.
So you will take some damage. Okay. What's the deal?. I have the AC of a wolf. Yeah, so you're only at AC of 13. Shoot. So you will take some damage.
Okay.
What's the deal?
Do I have wolf HP now?
Wolf has 11 hit points.
Okay, so I have 11 hit points.
So you take
five damage.
Yikes.
Yeah, not great.
And as a free action,
Boreanaz is like,
jump down, you cowards.
It won't hurt that much.
Come on, come on.
And a couple people
jump down.
They won't get turns yet,
but they're gonna
try to not get hurt.
All right, so the first guy lands with seemingly no damage.
The second one falls and basically breaks an ankle.
So you're now in an elevator with four people.
Okay, so now the other two guards
are going to try to attack your perfect son, Sparrow.
First one is...
Oh, my God.
A crit.
Watch your son die in front of
you in this elevator I
crit a kid
at the end Carl's like
raising it from the
dead he like rolls a
dice into him to like
make him fall back he
was reaching for a d20
it looks real enough.
It looked real enough.
Just for a second,
isn't it insane how the moral of Die Hard is like,
isn't it great that cop is comfortable
shooting people in the head?
Thank God he can kill people again.
Oh my God.
I critic it.
Seriously, Sparrow's dead.
Your child died. Sparrow's dead. Your child died.
Sparrow biting onto the knees of Boreanaz
continues to bite, but his eyes go big
and his legs just go slack.
Oh my god.
His whole body just goes limp,
but he's still hanging on with those teeth.
Wait, what did he get hit with?
Oh, he got hit with a dagger.
Oh, dagger.
He got stabbed?
He got stabbed?
He got stabbed in the shoulder.
You kind of buried the lead on that one.
Sorry.
Sorry, your child got stabbed.
I was like, oh, it's some magic that like,
made him pass out on his staff.
No, no, he got,
it was a magical dagger that went into his shoulder blade.
We didn't really think ahead.
This podcast is going to have a lot of kids getting stabbed,
I guess.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Without getting too graphic,
he gets stabbed a little bit in the shoulder blades
and it hits him hard enough that he just goes limp
except for his teeth.
The second baddie now is going to be like,
I guess that kid's probably done.
I'm going to go for the adult wolf.
When are your teeth ever limp?
You'll find out when you get older.
And he swings at you and just barely nicks some of your ear,
but you don't even feel it.
He misses. So now we're going to cut to your ear, but you don't even feel it. He misses.
So now we're going to cut to all of you as you come into the armory.
You see lockers upon lockers of really shitty-looking medieval weaponry,
and really standing out amongst all this stuff
is basically just a big pile of all of your shit
because it looks very modern and very Earth-like and stuff like that.
Can we do a perception roll to see if there's good weapons among those shitty weapons?
Yeah, go ahead.
I got a 10. Do you guys want to look around?
I would. By all
means, take your time.
This is like a glance. I got an 8.
Okay, so you can tell that all the
stuff here is, it's like
decent quality, but there's an amazing variety.
So what I want to say is, if you want to have any
other kind of additional weapon, you can just get it
here for free, and you'll just have it.
So of the weapons, I'm not even familiar with D&D weapons.
Well, hold on.
Let me look.
We got maces.
We got bows.
We got spears.
Whatever you can imagine, Freddy.
We got swords.
What about fire poi?
Like what people spin at Burning Man?
I wouldn't know.
I mean, there are flails.
You could like get a flail and then get some pitch and like pour it on there.
What's the thing with the two sticks? Do you the thing that like super cool kids did at school with
clackety clackety yeah uh let's just go ahead and say there's something that is there in a pinch if
you wanted to get that okay do they have nunchucks uh yeah i want nunchucks okay so you get nunchucks
another fun fact about glad very into mall ninja shit.
Okay, so we'll say just stat-wise that that'll basically be a club
because I'm pretty sure nunchucks
are not officially in D&D.
Here's the thing about nunchucks.
I think that they need to have
a small percentage chance of hurting you
whenever you use them.
I think it's a nat one,
you whip yourself in the nards.
Yeah, that's the official nunchuck rule.
Yeah, I believe so.
I fully approve that.
So yeah, we'll say that it is a simple melee weapon.
It's not a simple weapon.
Bruce Lee trained his whole life to use this, Anthony.
For a more civilized age.
So we'll say that it's a club that instead of doing 1d4 damage,
it does 1d6 damage.
But with that downside, if you get a one or a two,
you will hit yourself in either the left or the right testicle.
So you're saying if I lose a nut at some point in this adventure,
it will be a better weapon for you.
Yeah,
it's true.
Actually.
Interesting.
Good.
Okay.
Very good.
Fuck.
Yeah,
I got nunchucks.
I've been looking forward to this.
I've been trying to get a character with nunchucks in so many campaigns
and I've had so many DMS look at me and be like,
you don't have nunchucks.
I'm like,
but,
but nunchucks. Is there a sort of skip it sort of like, uh, is there something I can do with my
feet that is deadly and dangerous? Okay. So what you see there is you see there's a flail, which
has the chain in the ball of pain on the end of it. And there's also some shackles. So if you
wanted to grab through those things and then like, and some downtime, try to like make them together
and do an evil skip it. Yes, please. It's make them together into an evil skippet, you could do that.
Yes, please.
It's not going to be an evil skippet, but it will be dangerous.
Okay.
Do you want to try to make this a skippet now?
Yeah.
I mean, there seems like there's time.
Henry!
How's it going up there?
Oh, no.
Guys, please be quiet.
I am trying to assemble my skippet.
Ryan, I think we've got to get our stuff.
Do you actually want to try to build the skippet?
Yes.
Okay.
Then roll...
Oh, my God.
Let's see.
Let's see.
There's not a lot here for skippet handling in your stats.
One second, Henry.
One second.
We're just getting some stuff ready here, but we'll be there as soon as we can.
Let's say survival.
Roll survival.
All right.
Five. Okay. stuff ready here but we'll be there as soon as we can say survival roll survival all right five okay so you sort of just clink the shackles and the ball together just over and over like getting
more and more frustrated that's not working but at the end you don't actually have a skip it once
you're out of danger you will probably have more chances to try to make it a proper skip it okay
yeah temporarily devastating okay i see where you're going there for ron uh
good idea i'm i'm putting my pants on all right and my clothes and i just grab the stuff that
the barbarians normally have okay i grab a great axe and a javelin as you guys are all getting uh
dressed you see also that the shape-shifting girl uh who says oh by the way my name is everything
just so you know going forward forward. I get it.
Yeah.
Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, she finds amongst all this detritus,
a big old sack full of shit.
And she goes, I feel like we could go splitsies on this.
So there's four things in here.
I'm gonna go ahead and describe them to you.
Okay.
And she opens it up to you
so you can see that she's not lying.
Okay.
There's a hat, there's a jug,
there's a perfume, and there's a small bag of beans. I instantly grabbed the perfume. Oh, Carol would love this. Okay. There's a hat, there's a jug, there's a perfume, and there's a small bag of beans.
I instantly grabbed the perfume.
Oh, Carol would love this.
Okay.
Okay, so in your inventory, add that you have the perfume of bewitching.
Ooh.
The tiny vial contains magic perfume enough from one use.
You can use an action to apply the perfume to yourself, and it lasts for an hour.
For that duration, you have advantage on all charisma checks directed at humanoids.
Sorry, really quick.
Sorry I took the perfume without asking you guys.
It's okay if I bring this to Carol?
Sure, I guess so, yeah.
I'm going to go for the jug.
I would like the hat.
She's like, I mean, I was going to go with like half and half, but yeah, you can...
Yeah, fuck me, right?
You can have them all, I guess.
I'll just steal some of the other shit right here.
Well, it seemed like you had everything you needed.
So she just sort of throws the hat at you,
but it's like very clearly discussed about it.
So you can go into your inventory
and add the Hat of Vermin,
which I will describe to you thusly.
This hat has three charges.
While holding the hat,
you can use one action to expend one of its charges
and speak a command word that summons your choice
of a bat, a frog, or a rat.
Oh my God, this is so perfect for you.
The summoned creature magically appears in the hat
and tries to get away from you as quickly as possible.
The creature is neither friendly nor hostile
and it is not under your control.
It behaves as an ordinary creature
if it's kind and disappears after one hour.
It dies after an hour?
I mean, it just vanishes.
It's not real.
And the hat regains all of its charges at dawn.
So every day you can use this three times.
So you can just get three rodents?
Yeah. I mean,
a frog is not a rodent.
It's fair. It's fair. So, did you get the jug? I got the jug, yeah. Okay, so you got
the alchemy jug. The alchemy
jug is a ceramic jug that appears to be
able to hold a gallon of liquid and weighs 12 pounds.
Sloshing sounds can be heard from within
when it's shaken, even if it's empty. You can
use an action and name a liquid from the table
below, which you'll see when you add it to your inventory,
to cause the jug to produce the chosen liquid.
Afterwards, you can uncork the jug as an action
and pour that liquid out for up to two gallons per minute.
The maximum amount of liquid in the jug
depends on the liquid that you named.
So you can make stuff like wine, water, salt water or fresh,
vinegar, oil, beer, which we're going to say,
if Daryl uses it, will be his particular brew.
Nice.
Mayonnaise, honey. Mayonnaise. And then poison or acid. What kind of acid? oil beer which we're gonna say if daryl uses it will be his particular brew nice mayonnaise honey
and then poison or acid what kind of acid what kind of mayonnaise what kind of acid is it like
the good hoffman stuff or is it like you know i mean let's say that depends on the the he who
wields the sword ah so acid in the sense of lsd then oh okay that's actually interesting yeah if
you do it and you roll for acid then yeah let's do
that okay okay okay um and then the final thing a bag of beans uh which one of you is going to
take that i think that was hers because we all each took one yeah you said splitsies there's
four of us so that's that's yours little lady just it's fine henry didn't want anything
oh actually we do have a fourth friend. I mean, if we, if I could.
Is it for, are you offering?
I mean, yeah.
All right.
I was trying to be polite.
Thanks.
I put my hand out for it. Okay.
So roll.
No, fuck it.
She just gives it to you.
I want you to have this item.
Okay.
Because this item is great.
So this is a bag of beans.
So right now, roll 3D4.
I got eight.
Okay.
So there are eight beans in this bag.
When you take a bean out and throw it on the ground,
you have to roll a D100,
and depending on what you roll,
something different will happen,
which just for the sake of comedy,
I'm not going to tell you what the possible options are.
It would also take a long time for you to roll a hundred.
Tune into our bonus podcast
where Anthony reads all 100 things
that the bean can turn into.
But yeah, they run the gamut
from like a couple of mushrooms come out to like something massive happening so it's basically just
you're gonna roll the dice and sort of see what happened everything just tell us that that's what
it does uh or should our characters not know what these beans are that's why I ask oh that's fair
hey what do these beans do everything goes uh they look like weird magic beans I usually don't
mess with them because they're too random I don't know they might do weird stuff if you throw them at the ground i
i kind of don't want any any part of them and these other magical items kind of seem stupid so
to be honest i'm gonna take all this stuff you guys are clearly not from around here you don't
have a good sense of what's worth money so i'm gonna take all the stuff that's actually valuable
and give you this stuff that i mean you don't know any better all right cool i'm glad you can
be so upfront about us getting
swindled, but it's all good. I mean, one of your friends
is a wolf, so you have bigger problems.
We'll worry about that later. I feel like she knows everything.
Oh, God.
Now, if you guys don't mind, there is a
man up there that we love, and
we gotta go save him. I don't know if I love him.
I mean, I'd go save him.
I'm just, you know, I don't know if
I love him. Ron, if you were up there, I'd go up there right now and save, you know, I don't know if I love him.
Ron, if you were up there, I'd go up there right now and save you.
So let's go up there.
Let's go.
So before you even reach the top, you hear the sounds of combat. And once you actually reach the top of the tower, you see that the cult of the doodler is in combat with these innocent townsfolk who are going to be sacrificed, presumably.
that the cult of the doodler is in combat with these innocent townsfolk who are going to be sacrificed, presumably. You can't see Boreanaz, though, and you also can't see Henry or his child
because the elevator also seems to be missing. It's not here.
I run over to the edge of the elevator and I look down.
So you see the tops of a lot of heads. You see four adult human men trying to beat up a wolf
that is currently latched onto the face of Boreanaz, and Sparrow latched onto his knee.
Henry, is that you?
I'm overwhelmed by his beat.
I go, Henry, don't worry.
We got you something, too.
And I pull the beans out, and I chuck the bag down.
Like, yes.
Wait, so that, like, all of them go down?
I don't know.
How tight was that bag?
Oh, no.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Yes. In my head, I was like, throw the
beans. Okay, so here's what
I'm going to do. I'm going to fill this plastic
bag that I brought all my dice in with exactly eight
dice. Oh, my God.
And I'm going to try to... I have a satchel,
actually. I have a cool cloth satchel you could use.
Oh, yeah? Go get that.
It's funny, because on the item description for the bag of beans
the very first thing it says is like
if somebody tries to throw all of them at once, here's how you do that.
I'm like, but nobody would do that. That's insane.
I'm literally not going to tell them about that
because that'd be an absolutely absurd thing to try
to do.
If it matters, I would like to say that when Daryl
got the bag, he definitely opened it up
to look into it and he probably didn't tie in it very much
when he closed it.
I mean, I buy that. Okay, I got it. Hold look into it. And he probably didn't tie in it very much. I mean,
I buy that.
Okay.
I got it.
Well,
now hold on.
You would have to throw this from something high.
I was considering going to the roof of your apartment,
up to the ceiling.
Well,
no,
here's what we can do.
We have a,
I have a stairwell right outside my place.
Okay.
And you can chuck it down.
Like how many stories?
Like two stories.
Yeah.
I'd be like two stories.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
Let's do that.
All right.
Let's go.
All right.
We're going on the road.
All right. Okay. So we are in the stairwell.
Anthony's about to drop the bag to test how many beans fall out of it.
To simulate a proper two-story drop.
So, Anthony, you good?
Yeah, I think we got it.
All right, three, two, one, drop.
Oh!
Have the bag, ladies!
That was four.
We got four. We got four. Oh, my God! Yes. Okay, ladies! We got four.
We got four.
Oh, my God!
Yes.
Okay, should we see these all at once?
I feel like the real experience is that you should roll and then tell us all four things that happened.
That's how we would experience.
All right.
All right.
Well, I got to write them down, then.
All right.
Just a second.
I'm very scared.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
I do not have a lot of health, either.
I just want to put that out there.
This is going to get gnarly.
I'm excited to hear Henry's reaction reaction because I just want to be like,
what's that, boy? A bunch of beans
fell down an elevator shaft?
What if it was just four of
the lamest things in a row?
I'm kind of hoping it is because I
will die. Can we talk about
the weight limit and rating
of this elevator? That's a good question, too.
I do feel like we're starting to overload it.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
What?
That was the one thing I was hoping you wouldn't roll.
Oh, God.
Oh.
Oh, no.
This is going to be such a left turn.
Okay, so let me tell you.
Why did I give you this?
I knew in my heart, I was like, don't give him this.
Don't give him this. Don't give him this.
You let me take it.
Yeah, why did I?
Oh, my God.
I wanted you to have it, but I just also didn't,
and then now I'm fucking reaping the fruits of my labors.
Okay, so first, three things that don't matter at all happen.
Okay, cool.
Let's hear them.
Almost as if it's slow motion, you see the following.
One, a nest of five eggs springs up.
Yes.
If anyone wants to eat one, we can talk about that later.
The second thing that happens is a geyser erupts from the center of the elevator shaft
and spouts apple juice 30 feet into the air,
so it like hits you guys in the face, for seven rounds.
So those eggs are wet.
Yeah, the eggs are now wet.
The third thing that happens is
11 pink toads appear.
And whenever a toad is touched,
it transforms into a large or smaller monster of my choice,
which would seem like, oh, what a big deal.
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
Seems like a big deal.
Seems like a very big deal.
Until a pyramid with a 60-foot square base
bursts from the middle of the fucking elevator shaft.
Yes!
What?
Yes!
So the entire building
is bisected by this spontaneously spawning 60-foot fucking pyramid.
With apple juice guising out of the top of it.
With apple juice coming, like a fucking ejaculation of apple juice out of the top of it.
And the fucking eggs that you could have eaten roll down the sides of it.
And the fucking people on the, so all of you have to make.
We're all sliding.
Yes, all of you have to make dexterity saves.
Because you are now on a slanted surface
as this thing just grows under you.
Oh, my God.
How steep of a pyramid are we talking here?
It's decently steep.
Well, you know that actually pyramids are pretty easy to walk on.
If you've ever been to Egypt, they're not...
No, no, no.
They used to be smooth and flat.
Anthony does not seem like a man to be well-actualied right now.
That's all I'm going to say.
Well, actually, it's a staircase pyramid.
I think we're perfectly fine.
Anthony really wants us to parse the details of how hard we just fucked his night up.
All right, dexterity.
You fucking call down the thunder, and you will now reap the light.
So we just all roll d20s?
Listen, guys, I know what we're all thinking, and it's which way did the eggs roll?
Yes.
That's true.
Which way did the eggs roll?
They all rolled off of one corner
of the pyramid.
All right,
let me roll dexterity.
Yeah,
you're going to roll a d20
and then add your
dexterity modifier.
I did a crit fail.
You did a crit fail?
I have a one.
Oh, no.
I'm going to burn
my inspiration.
I'll burn my inspiration
on this one.
because otherwise
I was going to have to do
something very violent.
Yeah,
I'll burn my inspiration
on that one,
which was from a couple
episodes i believe and then i add decks which is um a 19 okay way better i got a 17 i got a 17 as
well i mean i definitely feel it i got seven okay so i guess it's fair that the dumb ass who threw
down the goddamn beans is the only one to fail i like to to think I was real. I mean, Daryl definitely loves apple juice.
For about three seconds,
you were in heaven.
Here's what happened.
He followed the geyser up,
so he wasn't looking when the pyramid was
rising up underneath his feet.
He's like, wow.
Okay, so in addition to that,
remember, you guys are halfway up this tower,
so this fucking pyramid bisected the tower,
and it's now rickety in the middle of this goddamn tower.
So what I'm going to do is,
this is real stupid, but why not do it?
Can you hand me extra D6s?
Are you building a tower out of dice?
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to build a tower for dice
and have the pyramid on top of it right there.
And if at any point anyone of us has accidentally knocked down the tower,
I'll just say that the pyramid also falls
okay all right so we gotta be real gentle
right and then everything above the
pyramid just is immediately fucking sloughed
off and sort of falls to the ground
this big massive skyscraper is now
was this the level of all the people
in the spike pits above us
yeah so all the people in the spike pits above you get pushed off
so it's just raining hell yes every bad thing
is happening these people are falling off the sides of the goddamn thing above you get pushed off. So it's just raining hell. Yes. Every bad thing is happening. Body starts flying.
Yes.
People are falling off the sides of the goddamn thing.
How high up are they?
How high up is the pyramid?
You were already basically near the top plus or minus a story of the skyscraper from Mario
Kart 64.
So you were that high.
So these guys are falling to their deaths.
So when we make our saving throw, what happens when we save?
So your saving throw is you attempting to grab onto this pyramid and not fall off to your deaths, essentially.
So even though it's slicked by apple juice,
the stickiness of it allows me, at least, to grab on and hang on with a good grip.
Like a horrible Spider-Man.
You handle on to it.
Like Alex Honnold, free-climbing El Capitan.
We've all seen Free Solo.
Free Solo, great documentary.
So all of you managed to get a grip except for Daryl,
who is sliding and is now just beginning to fall off.
So what happened to me?
You and Boreanaz and your son
are all perched on the top.
All of you, both of you hanging on the ground.
And by the way, all of you guys are like,
because apple juice is spraying in your face.
Covered in apple juice.
Did Boreanaz make his saving throw?
Oh, no, he didn't.
He should.
This may be the end of Boreanaz,
sticky, covered in apple juice.
Oh, no!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
My very first roll.
What did you do?
My God.
He knocked the tower down.
He knocked over the entire pyramid.
Oh, my God.
I think that's fitting.
I feel like no tower supported a 60-foot.
This is medieval.
Like, these are guys who didn't put guardrails in.
There's no way they put in enough of a foundational support
on their bullshit towers to be able to hang on to it. What're all on the pyramid it just kind of crunches down here's the
thing the pyramid begins to fall over and uh it's crushing the tower beneath it so it's falling a
little bit more slowly than you might otherwise think so everybody except for daryl is totally
fine but daryl you're gonna have to take some damage because you didn't get quite good enough
purchase with your hand so your your head smashes against the wall of the pyramid.
So go ahead and take a D6 of damage.
Daryl Wilson took five damage.
Okay.
And with a shuddering boom and an explosion of dust outward, the pyramid crushes the pit of myriad delight.
My God.
So all those people having an orgy just got destroyed by.
They're fine.
It kills the fighting arena.
Okay.
So all the people who are having
the orgy stop for a second and stare at the pyramid
and they go right back to it.
Just goes to show you that love
overcomes all obstacles.
A shockwave resonates through the pyramid
as it lands, so everybody make another
dexterity saving throw. 13, Anthony.
So I got a 15. I got an 18.
Alright, that's good. I got a 2.
Oof. Oof. Yeah. So everybody, that's good. I got a two.
Yeah.
So everybody except for Ron Stampler seems to be fine.
Actually, sorry, Boreanaz is going to... I forgot.
That's what caused all this.
Okay, so Boreanaz gets 16.
He's fine.
He's just got such a strong foundation and base.
He's not falling over easy.
Look at that guy.
Okay, so you're going to fall pretty badly.
I want to do that vertical limit,
like stab my javelin in
and like slide
and try to reach for Ron.
Okay, let's do that.
Best movie.
So why don't you roll
an attack against the pyramid.
Just see if I like
break the stone?
Yeah.
See if you can wedge it
into a crack or not.
I'm just going to go ahead
and roll for damage
because I rolled a one
so I'm assuming
you're going to let me
hurt myself.
Yeah, you're going to
start following too.
So I'm going to throw
my nunchucks
for whoever's closest to try and like have
that'll be that'll almost certainly be Daryl because he just
fell while I'm in peril.
Am I allowed to do anything?
Absolutely. What would you like to try to do? I would
like to use the hat
of vermin to release
frogs who have sticky
little frog hands.
Maybe they will help me stick to
the side of the pyramid.
Okay.
That's what I would like to do is I would like frogs.
All right.
We'll do one action at a time here.
Let's do Beth's first.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, Ron, you summon three frogs simultaneously.
Can I get more?
Three is the most you can get in a day.
That's unfortunate.
Yes, I would like three frogs.
That's three limbs.
You just crush them under your hands. That's a little stickiness on would like three frogs. That's three limbs. You just crush them
under your hands
and that's a little
stickiness on your hands.
So what we're going to do is
you're going to roll
stickiness for each frog.
Yes.
Yes.
You're going to roll
a D6 for each frog.
Okay.
If you get a five
or a six,
they are sticky enough
to stick on
to the pyramid.
And if they're four,
they just look great.
Yeah.
Hot dice. Hot dice. Frog number one. Oh, they just look great. Yeah. Hot dice.
Hot dice.
Frog number one.
Oh, my God.
That's a six.
All right.
Yes.
One frog.
Stick.
Boom.
Sticks perfectly in there like a fucking Catwoman handhold.
Yes.
All right.
Now roll this one.
God, how did you do that?
Six.
She got the six.
All right.
Yes.
Now roll another one just to see what the third one does.
I don't even know what the third one's for.
You know those things when you do push-up helpers?
Yeah, like the perfect push-up handles.
So I'm imagining that's what it is.
You're holding onto the frogs' handles,
and the frogs are like fingers and hands splayed onto this pyramid,
eyes bugged out, totally confused.
They were created seconds ago,
and the first thing they feel is the icy grip of a human being around them,
and they're just
gripping on for dear life all right the third fog just like just slides straight fucking down
okay so you are means you're now ribbed to the wall i might fall just because of that i literally
might oh god i need to come up with some other punishment because giving you guys damage was
too good and i missed that already.
Does he get inspiration for that?
Yes, you absolutely get inspiration.
Hell yeah.
Without question.
So Ron is safe for now.
So you're going to nunchuck Daryl.
All right.
So I roll a 16.
I think that's good.
Describe what happens.
As I see my friend start to lose his grip so enraptured by the apple juice,
I concentrate, I think of all the hours.
So enraptured by the Apple Juice is the name of this episode
No I wanted Chekhov's Snake
That'll be the episode where he comes back like three years from now
I call upon hours
of watching YouTube videos
on the road of Bruce Lee maneuvers
of guys teaching you how to do nunchuck tricks
I whip out the nunchucku and I whip them towards Daryl's legs because he's splayed away from me.
And I wrap them around his ankle and I hold on to dear life as he is like splayed out,
leaning face forward towards almost certain doom, if not for these nunchucks.
Awesome.
How does Daryl react to all this?
Since they're wrapped around my legs, I think I just look up. i look up i go thanks there glenn that's it okay cool um so i mean because
she's stuck she ron is already safe i think daryl's definitely looking for where henry
is that means you look up and you see you're basically you managed to hang on to uh boreanaz
right yeah yeah so i'm still on the top of the mount he held on with like fucking knuckles made of steel then you held on to him too and so did
your unconscious son wait i just don't understand what happened to his other son yeah i was about
to bring that out oh my god so it's up to you as to what you do now because right now you realize
you've all realized simultaneously oh my god what happened to lark because that floor and all the
ones beneath it were presumably crushed.
Sparrow is still up top, grabbing onto Boreanaz's knee,
even though he's unconscious,
and with a knife sticking out of his shoulder blades.
What do you do?
Okay, my jaw falls off of Boreanaz's face.
Okay.
Immediately.
And I'm in wolf mode, still.
Does a wolf have, like, sense?
Yeah, it's gotta be like a smell.
Like a search and rescue thing.
This is actually really good.
Yeah.
He has advantage on any perception check.
Oh shit.
Okay.
I want to see if I can suss out what happened to myself.
Well,
I think you got a sniff sparrow and use that sense to find his brother.
Yes.
I take a big whiff of sparrow and then he's still unconscious.
He's still unconscious that I'm going to deal with in a second because at least I know where he is.
And then I'm going to try to do a perception check to see if I can find Lark.
And what I'm hoping is the rubble of this crazy thing that just happened.
All right, go ahead and roll a perception with advantage.
OK, that's a 17 and that's a seven.
I'm going to take the 17.
So you follow the scent of your comatose child
to find your non-comatose child.
And the scent leads you through a pile of rubble
that is far deeper than you would like.
And your heart sinks more and more
the further and further you dig into this rubble.
Underneath a bunch of bricks,
you nuzzle one aside with your nose
and you see Lark's hand just sort of like peeking out from them
like Arnold going into the lava. But no thumbs up but no thumbs up just his hand okay i am going to
can i tell if he's dead you could try to like move up against see if there's like i nudge him i i
nudge him to sense both his temperature and his general sort of pulsing all right well-being he
feels fur on him and his hand just sort of like starts moving and starts twitching
and like touches you and is like just trying to feel around and trying to get out okay um i try
to nudge him to like grab onto my fur so i can pull him out so we do we see this pile of rubble
is there a lot of it most of the things surrounding you right now is rubble it's either
rubble or it's the remains of the uh the circle of chaos and the orgy pit is right next and the
orgy pit's right there's a ton of people there. I think Daryl stands up to the pit.
He's heartbroken as he watches Wolf Henry
digging into this rubble,
and there's a mountain full of rubble.
Yep.
And I turn and say,
everybody,
stop fucking for one goddamn second.
There's a young child in that pile of rubble.
One of them's like,
that's not our thing.
There's one,
there's a child in that pile of rubble. We don't do that. We's not our thing. There's one. There's a child in that pile of rubble.
We don't do that.
That's where we draw the line.
And it needs your help.
Can you help us take him out of the rubble?
All right, roll persuasion with advantage.
I got 16.
They all stop fucking for a second,
and they go, oh my God, a kid's in trouble?
We are both sex positive
and really care about children's issues, so absolutely trouble we are both sex positive and really care about
children's issues so absolutely we're gonna come and help you and all we're gonna come then help
you yeah yeah just second just second all right where's your kid where's this kid what's going on
you know what despite what i've been told by the church you all seem like pretty good people
let's go save the kid all right about two dozen naked people still glistening in
all kinds of fluids. Weird.
This is like a Jodorowsky movie.
Yeah, this is fucking insane.
Remember back in the day when we thought
that snake bowing to you was the weirdest thing that was
going to happen? Meanwhile,
Ron is rappelling down a
pyramid frog by frog.
Yelling at the third frog
who has descended, hey, help that kid, frog. I feel likelling at the third frog who has descended.
Hey, help that kid, frog.
I feel like, by the way, I'm looking up and I'm seeing Boreanaz probably struggling post face bite.
Yeah.
I feel like this is like not rock and roll.
Everything that this guy's done is hella not rock and roll.
So I'm going to do some flourishes with my fucking nunchucks and go after this dude.
Okay.
Check on my kid while you're up there, the unconscious kid. I can't hear you over
the whirring of nunchaku over on my
ears. So while the
naked army of woke people
start...
Third potential
episode title.
I was saying that's the name of my band.
Start getting rid of the rubble in
the show of solidarity.
You run up and you just swing it in with a nunchuck.
So here, I would like to propose a mechanic with the nunchucks.
I'd like to just, how do you feel about this?
Okay.
I can roll d20s to flourish them.
Of course, every flourish is a risk because I could nut myself with them.
Yep.
But every time I do, I feel like I get like a plus one to whatever the eventual roll is. So I could sit there and do 20 flourish.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, I feel like there should be.
Here's what we do.
We do that, but every time the number that results in a nutting gets increased.
Okay.
You rolled again.
You got to get more than three.
You rolled again.
You got to get more than a four.
Yeah.
So basically it builds on itself.
All right.
So as I'm walking up.
And this is just to hit.
This is not necessarily.
Yeah.
Just to hit.
Just to hit.
All right.
So flourish one. That's a two. You just to hit. This is not necessarily damage. Yeah, just to hit. Just to hit. Okay. So flourish one.
That's a two.
You immediately nutted yourself.
So I walked up.
I was ready to flourish.
Okay, I'd like to say,
I think I invented a really cool mechanic for nunchucks,
and I'm really glad that the first move was,
I go up, and I'm like,
listen up, you son of a bitch.
I'm going to show you what real pain is.
And the first move I do
just slams my nunchucks into my right testicle
oh my god roll a club attack damage whatever that is so that's a 1d6 for the nunchucks so
that's two damage to me okay that's not so bad it could have been worse because i only have eight
so that could have killed you killed myself okay so boriana sees you do this and he's like did we summon the doodlers?
The only way any of this makes sense is if
this is actually the end of the world.
I feel like we nailed it.
He turns around to the other cultists
and he's like guys we did it.
We fucking did it. And he sees
that Lark is biting on his leg
and he's like get the fuck out and he like grabs him and just sort of like
tosses him down and he sort of rolls
like all slack down.
I do nothing to stop him
as I am recoiling
from nutting myself
with the nunchucks.
He's like,
I guess I need to see
what this new world has to offer
and he just starts walking
down the pyramid.
He's like,
I feel like I won.
I did it.
It's great.
Welcome to the world
of the doobler.
Can I ask Boreanaz
to help me up with my frogs?
Because he's walking down.
Yeah.
Is that what you say?
Well, I would probably charm him in some way.
You can roll persuasion.
You just got to say what you're going to try to say to charm him.
I will say that the way that collared shirts fit him is very nice.
Alright.
Just going straight for the compliment, huh?
Roll persuasion.
So you're just saying that to him
as he's walking by.
This is a nine.
He goes, fuck off!
And just keeps walking.
It's just me and my frogs now.
You fell a little ways
before you hit with the frog,
so if you let go,
you would just sort of slide down
and not take any damage.
I would like to hit with the frog. So if you let go, you would just sort of slide down and not take any damage. I would like to keep holding the frog.
Jesus Christ. So we're just
digging into the rubble. Okay, so you are now
basically out of combat. Everybody that wanted to hurt
you feels like they got exactly what they wanted.
Yeah, apparently. So you and the
naked people managed to successfully
extricate Lark from the
rubble, and now you've got a barely conscious Lark and a not conscious Sparrow.
And all the people in the town,
the medics and alchemists and wizards and the cops are all coming to this
zone of destruction,
essentially.
And the apple juice is still going,
right?
The apple juice is still going and we'll go for another hour.
According to the rules of Gary Gygax's Dungeons and Dragons.
That apple juice still
goes for an hour. I am parched.
Yeah, I look for the first person of authority
I say, hey, can somebody get some cups for this team
effort around here? Can somebody get some cups? Everybody
have some apple juice. Good work, everybody. I turn
back into a human. I'm naked.
I spit some of David
Boreanaz's face out of my mouth oh my god and
then i rush to my two boys and i just start using my druid powers to heal them i'm gonna go ahead
and cast cure wounds on my two sons and then i say does anyone see my pants come on guys let's
go find his pants and i get all the naked people start going through the rubble for his pants so
everything who is still in the armory stealing stuff is like, I got, I have this.
Also, what did you do?
What happened?
You seemed cool.
You're not cool.
We killed a lot of people, huh?
I know.
I thought we were tight because I was okay with murdering people,
but I've never done anything on this scale.
We kind of blew this one pretty bad, boys.
I mean, they were your beans.
You were everything, everything that I wanted.
I don't know what that means.
Some of these people were my friends.
But also probably some of your enemies, right?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it doesn't really balance out like that, though.
Yeah.
It was nice to meet you.
I put my hand out.
I should have never given you those beans.
Oh, my God.
This is on me.
Oh, no. I need to rethink my life. I'm going to given you those beads. Oh my God, this is on me. Oh no, I need to rethink my life.
I'm going to say this joke again.
Thanks for everything.
See, I said it before and nobody laughed
and I was like, darn it.
She throws all of her ill-gotten gains to the ground
and is just like, where's the nearest church?
Daryl is staring very intently
to see what happens to these beautiful boys
as Henry is bringing them back to life.
So as you cure wounds on them,
Lark comes to and is like,
oh my god, did we do it? Did we do it?
Where's the doodler? Where is he?
Did I not get to beat him? Damn it, I wanted
to beat him. Lark, we're going to have a long
talk about this later.
Right now, you're very grounded.
So as you
say that, the cure wounds begins to take effect on Sparrow.
And Sparrow, just like,
this is for my wrestling fans out there,
but if you're familiar with the way
that the Undertaker sits up during a match,
he sits up exactly like that.
Just, boom, shoots straight up.
He goes, blah.
Ooh, apple juice.
What's going on?
Oh, what happened?
Dad, what happened?
Did I go into wolf mode?
Tell me I went into wolf mode.
We'll talk about that later.
Henry, I think you should ground this child too.
It's only fair that if I ground one of you,
I ground both of you for causing so much mischief.
And to be fair, I cause a lot of mischief too,
so I'm self-grounding.
We're all grounded, all three of us.
I mean, I feel like I changed my tune. It feels a little unfair,
but like, apple juice, so like, whatever.
I'm pretty stoked right now. Grounding is
lifted, because I'm so happy to see you both.
Alright! Group hug,
guys. I put my pants back on, and then I hug my two
kids. Sparrow returns happily.
Lark is just fuming, because he thinks
he lost his chance to kill the guy. Oh, Lark.
We're going to have a real bonding moment soon,
too, and you're going to want to be a love wolf.
Just you wait, kiddo.
He just says, hate apple juice.
Who hates apple juice?
Lark.
Whoa.
He's a dangerous boy.
As this is happening, all the bluecoats in the town,
all the cops and stuff like that are looking around
trying to see what happened.
What's all this then?
And freaking out.
And you see a lot of people starting
to point in your direction. Ooh. But you can also see your van inside because you parked right next to the
place and thankfully it is unharmed guys i think we got a skedaddle here real quick i've been
listen there's one rule of the road it's when you wreck a hotel room you don't walk by the front
desk on the way out you take the fire exit i think it's time we get the hell out of Dodge.
Thanks, Neverwinter.
You've been great.
All right.
I think we're rushing to the van.
Van, van, van, van, van, van, van, van.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Perfect.
I'm just going to say you get away with it
because there is so much chaos going on.
On the way, you can slow your run a little bit
to try to pick up one of the eggs, if you wish.
Will I have to drop a frog to pick up an egg?
But yeah, you'd have to drop one of the frogs.
Actually, no, they're sticky.
Yes, I would like to put one frog next to the other in one hand
and have a free hand for an egg.
All right.
So go ahead and roll a sleight of hand as you run.
So that's 14 plus 2.
16.
16. Okay, great.
So you scoop them up as you run. You don't even have to slow your stride.
As you, Daryl, almost get to the car, a hand reaches out and touches your arm and you turn
and you see that it's the lizard man that you accidentally spared in the combat at the
cells.
And he goes, thank you so much.
If you hadn't let me live,
if you hadn't let me go,
I would have been up there.
That could have been me.
Hey, buddy, you never told us your name
and we're getting the hell out of here.
So if you want to ride,
you can come along with us.
Oh, I think I do.
My name is CERN
and I will follow you anywhere
and do anything you wish.
I now owe what we in my culture call
a Wookiee life debt.
I go, all right.
I put my hand out and say, Darrell Wilson, welcome to the team.
He's just glad to be aboard, sir.
Glad you're aboard CERN.
He doesn't know how to laugh.
His laugh comes off as just a scream.
Sorry, that's how I laugh.
I really like this CERN guy.
Yeah.
All right.
So we all run to the minivan.
Yeah.
As you drive away, the blue coats sort of realize like, oh shit, it's them.
And they start firing arrows at you, but you're just too far gone.
And you sort of drive into the sunset.
And guess what, bitches?
That's what modern technology.
You can't get arrows through this bad boy.
All right.
Whose kids are we rescuing next?
Actually, after seeing how that went,
I think I'm going to hold off on saving my kid.
Looks like we're saving Glenn's kid.
We're going after Glenn's kid.
So as you are all driving off into the sunset,
Sparrow says,
Dad, I feel nauseous.
I feel like...
I feel...
And his eyes have rolled back into his head.
Oh, shit.
And when they roll back, the corneas are purple.
Oh, my God.
And he says,
You have found your children, but you have not learned anything.
If only you had been more intelligent.
If only you had been more intelligent.
If only you had saved more people.
You have proven you are unworthy as a father.
You do not deserve these children.
And before your eyes, they begin to fade out of existence.
Lark! Sparrow! What's going on?
Sparrow reaches out and goes,
Dad, did I do good?
You did good, boy. I'm coming for you.
They wink out, and that's the last thing that they hear before they vanish from your car.
Do we have to say them again?
Because, like I said, it was...
It was, uh...
I guess it was kind of inconvenient the first time.
It's gonna be all right. It'll be all right. Cause that's just life. I guess it was kind of inconvenient the first time.

Peak Boreanaz?
This is what peak Boreanaz looks like.

role and really expanding beyond his like grungy sad boy routine which is it works it's hot as hell
season one and half of season two of buffy but when there's that other element it's like this is a three dimensional man I am dating
and

what 90s television is about
