Dungeons and Daddies is a rowdy, horny, violent podcast for grown-ups.
Content warnings can be found in the episode description.
Few Faerunians ever look up at the night sky and wonder anymore.
To most, our new firmament is just a seething mass of insanity-causing tentacles.
But consider those tentacles again.
For together, they converge into the cosmic sphincter of the doodler's huge dark butt. Under
that huge dark butt, everyone you ever heard of, every human, every elf, every dragon born, ever
born, every rogue and ranger, every druid and dryad now lives their lives. Think of the rivers of
cheese flowing through the veins of Supreme Pizza Lord Papa John,
the millions and millions of lives sacrificed in his melting bat,
all so he can become the momentary master of a fraction of a dingleberry
clinging to the underside of an alien's asshole.
In our obscurity, in all this vast assness,
there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
Especially not from the four adolescents who just came to this world and almost killed themselves with a fireball.
There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than the image of those dumb dumb kids
riding in a truck that says pussy wagon driven
by a weirdo dressed like the joker chasing a boy in a diaper under the uncaring all-knowing anus
of that huge dark butt to me it is a reminder to deal more harshly with children to drive them
from our lands to smite them wherever we find them and to keep the only home we'll ever have again from being ruined by no-good dipshit teens.
I'm Carl Sagan.
Welcome to Dungeons & Daddies, not a BDSM podcast.
Instead, a Dungeons & Dragons podcast about four wayward teens lost in a new dimension in a quest to rescue their lost dads.
My name is Freddie Wong. I play Taylor Swift, the rogue, anime-loving, survivalist teen who's uniquely suited for this situation.
And this week's Taylor fact.
A little weird energy on this one because we had the SD card malfunction on it. So this is our second time through our intro.
What does SD stand for?
Suck and dick.
Yeah.
It's already better.
It's already good.
We're synced up, dude.
We've met each other's dicks.
Taylor's teen fact for this week.
Since we're going on a pizza adventure, Taylor's favorite pizza is sausage pizza. That's it.
Just sausages. Different types
of sausage. That's okay.
Just a bunch of different meats.
Everybody knows last time he said flatbread.
Meats and bell peppers.
Meats and bell peppers. He's a supreme.
He wants the supreme pizza because he's like
the supreme. I'm just trying to help you out, man.
Here's what it is. Taylor
asks and never receives every topping they got. Oh like that that's good hey everybody my name is
matthew arnold i play lincoln lee wilson uh schooled at home sports kid or soccer kid it's
mostly just soccer he doesn't play other sports um who's the productive paladin of the group so
to continue the journey through the senses i'm actually going to do the sense of feel which i'm
70 sure i haven't done yet.
I'll be honest.
I kind of forget which ones I've done.
His favorite feel, his favorite thing to touch.
Stop laughing, Beth.
Is he likes the feeling of the underneath of his bed.
Like he just likes that cool ground and being like in a tight little like goes under there.
He goes under his bed.
He just likes to get under there and just fucking like just relax
and stay calm under there. It just feels really good under there.
What? It just feels good under there.
It's just nice and relaxing. It's so dusty.
No.
It's like a...
No.
Excuse me, Anthony.
Maybe on your side. I guess I just showed my whole ass.
Yeah. No, absolutely not.
Lincoln's room is very, very clean. He's got
two Roombas.
They work in shifts.
Make sure.
He doesn't like to overwork his help,
so he makes sure that they have breaks.
They're in love with each other,
but they start at opposite times,
so they never actually get to be near each other.
Like Roombas crossing in the night.
It's like two Roombas pick up
like a strand of spaghetti
and they start like sucking it up towards each other.
More than once,
more than once,
Link's woken up
and he hears the sound of two Roombas.
He's like,
what are you guys doing out there?
He opens up the app.
He's like,
I haven't scheduled them
both at the same time.
He's got hardwood floors.
That's the cool touch.
Nice.
Oh, sure.
The cool touch.
Hey, everyone.
I'm Will Campos,
a.k.a. the cool touch.
Nice.
That's what we call him.
I play Normal Oak.
He's a mascot.
He's a kid.
He's lost in a strange land trying to find himself.
My normal fact this week is also pizza related.
Normal's favorite pizza is pepperoni because it's got pep in the name.
And he's all about that.
That's good.
I love that.
He is vegan, so he'll order the pepperoni and then scrape all the pepperoni and the
cheese off and then just eat tomato and bread because the pepperoni and cheese hurts his tummy. And then just say a
quiet prayer for the animals that were still killed for the pizza
he ordered.
I'm ready to give you a pizza, my
mind. I did that joke
before the SD card broke and
it still didn't work very well. I think it's
what broke the SD card. I think it might have been.
My name is Beth May
and I play Scary Marlo.
Goth punk seeker My name is Beth May and I play Scary Marlo Gothpunk Seeker of Darkness who is not like
the other warlocks
or at least
she wasn't
you know
back on the
Forgotten Realms
version of Earth
now that we're on
the Earth version of Earth
maybe she is like
the other warlocks here
who knows
anyways
fun fact about
Scary this week
is that Scary often dreams
about the merch she will sell
when she's a world
famous punk rocker with a big
band that everybody wants to be a part of.
She's a big band punk rocker.
And nobody said no to.
She takes out her little conductor's baton.
Scary Marlowe and the Jazz Poppers.
That's what they call her in the
cool punk rock future.
And one of the merch items she thinks about is cool torn pants that are all
shredded,
but they have a little bit of Velcro on the inside that you can put them back
together in case your mom is like,
you're not wearing that to school.
And then when you get to school,
you can tear them up again.
And she's going to call them
the tear up flare ups.
She should call them the imbruglias
because they're already torn.
Damn, that's so good.
I'm Anthony Burch.
I'm your dad.
I had a whole story about tattoo stuff.
I'm not going to do it again.
You wouldn't understand.
It's tattoo stuff.
Yeah.
Did I tell you?
One of the things I wanted to prank you with was Anthony has has sent us his fellow podcasters a picture of the in progress
tattoo i want to go to one of those sites that lets you do the two-week temporary tattoos and
then get it printed up and color it in and then do it on myself and then when he comes back hey
anthony check out my back tattoo and it's a photographic recreation of his and it's also
still like it just is the tattoo is a picture of anthony's back but like you also see anthony on it as well
all right so last episode you all took your first five steps into a new world
normal ran yeah we went 20 feet which is more than most people's five steps by the way in order into a new world. How dare you? Normal ran.
Yeah, we went 20 feet,
which is more than
most people's five steps,
by the way,
in order to test the thing.
And we got in combat.
And then we ran
to a whole village.
I just came up
with the clever way
of summarizing the last episode.
I'm not blaming you.
It was like five easy pizzas.
I'm sorry.
That was probably
really difficult.
Wow.
You all showed up in,
I guess we have to
just call it Earth now because that's what it is. You showed up on Earth. Does we have to just call it Earth now,
because that's what it is.
You showed up on Earth.
Does it have a number, like a cool number, like in the Marvel movies?
I don't think so.
I think maybe it's Material Plane.
It's whatever the area code of San Dimas is.
It's like Earth 818.
Yeah, Earth 818.
You showed up.
Hermie and Worthy arrived in the pussy wagon
with all the items that you had unlocked from Daddy's HQ in the flatbed.
I forgot Hermie's here.
You killed some folks., specifically Scary killed everyone.
We killed the guy who was clearly supposed to tell us what was going on.
You killed what would have become the most beloved NPC of season two.
And then I looked right into the camera.
I said, well, that happened.
You all looked up, saw that the doodler's undulating body has completely blotted out
the sky
and that it's far closer than you would have liked to see.
Normal freaked out as he has wanted to do,
started running towards the nearest source of light.
Oh, the quick update.
I said at the end of that last episode
that I was going to run Cthulhu twerking
into an image generator.
Twerking is a banned word in many of these image generators.
So unfortunately, we can't.
It's so scary.
It's too powerful.
We can't let ai know about
twerking yeah unlike the way that lovecraft describes cthulhu it actually is something
that you cannot conceive of because it would be too dangerous normal ran for his life and ran into
a camp where a very long line of people was waiting to do something when he got to the front
of that line they allowed him to cut in line because it turned out that those people were
being sacrificed to a large vat
of a cheese-like substance
that was being pumped
into the veins
of a man on a throne
and keeping him alive.
And that man seemed
to be Papa John.
And that whole gag
probably would have been
a lot funnier
if you hadn't killed the guy
who was supposed
to foreshadow it.
So you just sort of saw it
out of context.
So it came off
like a really wacky
internet meme.
You're like,
how random would it be?
If there was a Papa John's in this world.
Yay, it's feeding.
Yay.
I love it.
I do think it was random.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So random.
So random.
Real invader Zim vibes.
Yeah.
I love it.
Boy, oh boy.
Monkey cheese.
Let's go.
Kill me.
And then I believe normal was apprehended.
I believe it was the last thing.
Yes.
And then a couple of guards grabbed normal and then started dragging Normal was apprehended. I believe it was the last thing. Yes. And then a couple guards grabbed Normal
and then started dragging him towards the cheese.
Normal's going to kick this party into high gear.
Two guards are like grabbing me from behind, right?
Yes, they have you.
So Normal jabs his rocket.
I got a boot rocket?
Oh, you got a single boot.
A single boot rocket.
So Normal's going to slam the single boot rocket
into the heel of one of the guards and then blast off.
Nice.
Cool.
Why don't you roll?
I feel like acrobatics makes sense,
because it's kind of a dexterous,
like you're trying to keep your balance,
and not just flip yourself on your ass.
How much aerial work has Normal done as the mascot?
Oh, you know, he wanted to do,
do you know like when you see like a circus act,
and there's the person on the ropes?
Yeah.
Like when they like twirl around on the ropes.
He tried that one time and almost broke his neck, because he got tangled in it. I think those are literally called aerial silks. Aerial stilts. You're right. Yeah. Like when they like twirl around on the ropes. He tried that one time and almost broke his neck
because he got tangled in it.
I think those are literally
called aerial silks.
Aerial stilts.
You're right.
Yeah.
Or silks.
Yeah.
The ropes coming from the ceiling.
Yeah.
He tried to set that up
in the backyard one time
and it did not go well.
On the tallest tree he's got.
Ooh, a 16 acrobatics.
Cool.
So the 16,
you stomp down on.
Stomp.
Oh, that's part of it.
I get it.
It's fine.
On the, like the band?
No.
Like I'm using that as the word, not as a reference to the musical?
No, it was about feet.
And I was like, stomping is what you do with your feet.
But I'm like, of course that is.
That's part of the action.
It's not a reference.
I guess it was a reference to the idea of things that feet can do.
This is important.
Stomp is a musical, not a band.
Yes.
I've only seen them on like morning shows.
So I thought they were like a band.
It's a cast of a musical.
What?
As far as.
No, hold on.
Hold on.
Matt's right.
Stomp is a percussion group.
Yeah, it's like Blue Man Group.
Yeah, it's like Blue Man Group.
Yeah, I guess I would call Blue Man Group like a show as well.
Okay, I'm sorry.
That's fair.
I was tickled by the word stomp, but now we can continue.
My favorite band is Rent.
My point is, man, stomp's not going to be like opening for Aerosmith.
I mean, on tour.
Before Paramore plays, I can't wait to see stomp.
You guys see the My Chemical Romance concert?
Dude, stomp killed it.
All right, so you stomp down on this guy's foot.
That was funny stomp killed it. All right. So you stomp down on this guy's foot. That was a funny stomp.
The jet boot ignites,
and you manage to blast off, sort of,
and move in the opposite direction.
So you stomp on your left,
you move to the right,
and the other guard,
the second guard,
whoever had his hand on your shoulder,
is going to roll to see if he can, like,
grab you, essentially.
Rocketeer style.
Oh, will you light his candle?
That's a Rent reference.
Okay.
All right.
So he grabs you by the ankle.
He rolled a 17 dexterity as you begin to jet away.
So he grabs you by your non-jet booted ankle,
but your jet boot is still going.
So you're still in the air.
It's kind of like holding me like a kite.
Yeah, kind of exactly like that.
The other guard is going fire hose.
Is he like fire hose right now? Like not really going anywhere,
just kind of spraying around.
Yeah, you know what?
It's less like a kite,
more like a balloon that's got a hole in it,
but not so much that it pops.
Just you're beginning to wow, wow, wow.
And he's holding onto you as tight as he can.
Hey, let me go.
I don't want to be here.
This entire scene, of course,
taking place in the like GoPro angle,
like wide angle lens that you have in front of you.
Like, whoa, the Iron Man view, if you will.
Yeah.
Jarvis, get me out of here.
My booster leg is free, right?
Yes.
I will aim my free rocket leg as best I can at the guy's face.
Okay, so I will give you two options.
You can either do it without disengaging the jet boots.
You have a second of control to blast this dude's face.
But if you fail, then that means he'll have a second to grab you and fully wrestle you to the ground.
Or you can just try to use your strength
to fight against the jet flow and put it
directly in this guy's face. It'll just be harder.
Quads, dude. You got good quads? Yeah, I'm gonna
use my strength to fight against the
jet flow. Alright, give me a strength saving
throw. Let's see it.
Ooh, daddy got
a six. Nice. Okay.
You try to fight against the kick of the jet boot,
but you end up making yourself
basically invert upside down in your jet boot.
It like pile drives you into the ground head
first and you just hit the ground. Okay.
Okay, so you hit the ground pretty hard
and the jet boot fizzles
out for a second and he starts to drag
you towards the pit of
molten cheese. You gonna damage him, bro?
Just in my head, it's a very jackass-y stunt.
Oh, you want him to take some HP damage? I just think that Johnny Knoxville doesn't walk away from those. I'm normal-o and this is the jet boot. You're going to damage him, bro? Just in my head, it's a very jackass-y stunt. And I know that- Oh, you want him to take some HP damage?
I just think that Johnny Knoxville
doesn't walk away from those.
I'm normal-oak and this is the jet boot.
They're always fine and jackass.
That's a good point.
Rolly D8.
Freddie, why are you giving Walt damage?
Freddie's a little asshole.
That's why.
I'm in the zone of role play right now.
I really want this picture to make sense of that.
Freddie is the antithesis of today for you,
tomorrow for me.
That's my last rent reference of the night.
I'm gonna retire that.
But I wish I could retire, but I gotta pay rent.
I'm like the title character in Rent.
Oh, yeah.
John Rent.
Holy shit!
Great minds think alike, but also comedy hacks.
I take six damage, so I now have 10 HP.
Ew, it's been a bad day for normal.
Been a bad day for normcore.
I feel like the pussy wagon probably has managed to accelerate to Papa John's camp.
Describe the scene before us.
What chaos lies?
So as far as what you can see from the outside,
so there's these big gates, and the gates are open,
and there's a big line of
people leading out across the road.
I assume at some point you probably saw them in the headlights and decided to,
you know,
off road and drive next to them or something.
So the question is at what point do you want to stop the pussy wagon?
Do you want to like drive all the way in and like try to smash those gates
open?
Cause they're open enough for people to walk through,
but they're not like pussy.
Can I see just for the sake of,
cause obviously Matt, the player here would be like, we got to go save Will as quickly as possible. walk through but they're not like pussy way i see just for the sake of because obviously matt the
player here would be like we gotta go save will as quickly as possible if we saw normal like flying
in the air for a second and going down like we're driving through that gate no you didn't see that
they were probably just driving through the gate casually and trying to see what's up we don't know
what's going on we accelerate hard towards the gate and at the last second i slam on the brake
so that i can gently nudge it open without damaging the car i'm just gonna roll down a window then call out to the first person i
see and be like hey have you guys um seen a kid with like a diaper and like a cool band shirt
like running in through here kind of smelly but in like gross way in a friendly way i guess somebody
wearing rags with dead eyes looks up at you and sort of nods really slowly and just points an
emaciated finger towards the inside of the camp what What's this line for? Is it like a concert or like anything cool?
The person says, pizza. Man, that's a pretty dope band name.
Pizza. All right, we accelerate through.
Okay. So there are two guards on the other side of the gate that you immediately see that see a
behemoth coming at them and stand in front of it and go halt.
And they point their big old shiny spears with diamond tips at the front of the car.
Oh, don't worry, guys.
I got this.
I just accelerate through them.
Jesus.
Okay, roll animal handling.
There's no danger yet.
You're just running through these people.
Our friend is in trouble. We always don't know that I'm no danger yet. You're just running through these people. Our friend is in trouble.
We don't know what's going on.
You guys don't know that I'm in trouble yet.
Can they see me being apprehended by the guards?
I feel like, yeah, beyond these two guards,
they can probably see this guard.
The other guard dragging you toward the big pit of cheese.
And then if you can focus on anything
other than the two guards directly in front of you
and your friend being dragged away,
you can see in the distance,
Papa John sitting on his pizza throne.
Nope, nope, too weird, too weird.
Gonna just confuse my break for my gas pedal, so to speak.
And then I rolled a natural 20.
A natural 20?
All right, well, you get to determine what happens then.
I feel like as I accelerate, both of the spears just plunk into the hood,
and they just get wrenched out of their hands.
So now we have two cool, shiny spears at our discretion embedded in the hood.
As I run over, I run over them, maiming them so that they can't enter the fight.
You'll run over them.
I'll run over.
Here's what it is.
I'll run over them, but I'll aim for their feet.
I'll aim for their legs.
Okay, so you perfectly managed to aim your tires in such a way and fake the dudes out in such a way that they both try to dive away at just the last possible second, and their ankles get crushed underneath the wheels of the pussy wagon
after they have tossed their spears at you
and embedded them both in the hood.
Hey, guys, two free spears.
Good luck joining the band Stomp, assholes.
All right, you have all the speed and control of this car
in this particular moment that you want to,
so you see that the guard whose foot is not on fire
and trying to pad it out is dragging a dazed and almost unconscious but still
conscious enough to like say stuff and take actions i think we're gonna start beeping i'm
just like hey hey norm norm i opened the door i was like hey uh norm get in here hey guys that's
our friend thanks for we we need him we'll take it after you you're i think we're just circling
them you know because you always got to be moving. Okay.
You're trying to do donuts.
We're driving around a couple miles per hour and like, you know, rotating and turning around
if we get too far ahead of the window.
Go straight in the whip.
I tug the guy who's dragging me on the sleeve.
I'm like, those are my friends.
They're here to pick me up.
I think I have a concussion.
I talk to my friends inside the cab.
The tactic is often to try and hijack the car after it stops.
If they never stop, they can't take the car.
You're going to drive around at a couple miles an hour,
which means you'd be presumably at some point driving in front of the throne of Papa John.
Yes.
So he is going to see this.
Oh, God.
He's going to see this irritating, really yellow truck driving around,
and he's going to extend his fingers and say,
cease, cease.
His fingernails, like the panels, like open up like the hood of a car.
Oh, no, it's the mucinex head.
No, it's like the headlights of a Miata.
Oh, God.
Oh.
And then a bunch of jets of pizza grease come out and hit the ground in front of your car.
But he rolled not so great.
So every time you continue to do one of these loops around the fucking Luigi Raceway track
that is the camp of Papa John,
you're going to have to test the oil slick
that he has put down.
Now, how does me knowing about the initial D
help in this scenario?
I feel like that retroactively explains your natural 20,
despite the fact that you've never driven a car
before in your life.
What is it normally?
It's just plus zero.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Okay, yeah.
So you got beginner's initial D luck.
There's just one guard near norm?
Currently holding on to norm right now.
There is one guard.
Within the camp overall,
you can see that there are several
very well-armed guards near Papa John.
How far away?
Like, you know,
assuming that we remove him from the guard,
like, can we grab him and get back into the car?
Or is all the guards like 10 feet away?
In the time it took you to stop, the guards could clear that distance and probably have an attack on you
do they look like they're getting ready to like what are they doing they're basically following
you around with their eyes and their weapons their scimitars just waiting for an opening
essentially but i'm not gonna give it to him you know what i'm saying well you might have to if
you're gonna stop and get your friend or not can norm do anything yeah he's unconscious is he well
enough to ghost ride the whip all right i'm gonna leap out you guys leap out on the inner diameter i'm gonna
leap out i got my cleats i'll form a protective barrier i mean yeah you can turn as much as you
can and hopefully don't slide yeah i'm gonna leap out and i'm gonna say that my cleats help me on
not slipping on the grease because you said that he's put grease out so i feel like that does affect
people walking right including the guards he put grease ahead of the pussy wagon. That's a separate area from where,
I hate this game,
from where normal is being dragged around.
There's a spot of grease
between me and the pizza and Papa John.
Yeah, so mainly that's something
that Taylor is going to have to deal with
as he's driving.
It's less a concern for you.
You have to deal with the fact
that there is a guard
who has now put out the fire on his foot,
who gets to his feet
and is heading to join his other guard friend who is dragging Norma with one hand.
Come on, Scary, we got to get Norm.
And you're like really powerful.
So I leap out of the car and I grab a spear off the hood of the car.
There you go.
And I charge at the guard that's holding Norm.
I guess I'm going to come with you.
So the two of you leap out.
I instruct Hermie to get into the back cab with the other spear and like take opportunity attacks as necessary.
And I'm flashing my Kellogg.
I'm going to use channel divinity sacred weapon so that my spear is glowing.
Okay, great.
And it's plus damage.
This is all Link is going to do.
Yeah, I love that.
Well, it does actually give me attack bonuses.
It's just not with my gun with no.
I feel like, I mean,
I think this might be the first time we've ever done this,
but I think for a second episode in a row,
we're going to have to roll initiative.
We didn't even try to talk to them and be like, work it out.
Like we're just going full.
Yeah.
Let's rumble.
Freddy set the stage with just driving over two people.
I think even Link has to be like,
there's not a lot of negotiation happening now.
10 plus one, 11.
I got a six.
I got a natural one plus three, so four.
I got a 13.
So first off, Papa John and his minions,
they rolled an 18.
They said we get a whole action before they attack.
You didn't say he had minions.
Oh, minions are here?
Oh, man.
Which ones?
No.
We can't use all our good shit this early in the season.
Wait, but just to clarify,
the extra minions you said would be a whole turn
before they could get to us to attack us.
Like a whole movie?
Like a whole movie.
Yes, I'm saying they would basically have to spend
a sprint action to get close to you,
and then they'd be able to take opportunity attacks
if you tried to move away.
A turn.
Papa John, with his non-oily shooting fingers,
raises his other hand,
the one that has the IV in it with all the cheese.
And he does the like two fingers,
like forward, like go guys.
But with just two fingers.
So he's tactical?
Yeah, tactical.
Tactical moves.
And some cheese like out of the needle as he does it.
His guards are going to rush at you
as they leap off of the Papa's throne
and the heat from the pizza oven
that is heating the big jacuzzi of molten cheese stops distorting
the air in front of it with electricity and excitement.
No. Heat.
What are you looking for?
Shimmering?
As they step away from the shimmering
heat-filled air, as they
step... Fuck!
We got it, Anthony!
You finish your description!
I wanted to come out like good,
but now you're going to just hear how bad I am at imagery
because this is too funny.
The longer it takes, the more slow-mo the shot is.
Yeah, God, whatever.
Two pizza guys run down.
What were they wearing?
It doesn't matter now.
It's like bright yellow armor.
And you know how in medieval armor sometimes
in the armpit they have those big circular things to like deflect.
Oh, yeah.
It's like, yeah, they're like armor pasties kind of,
but just a little bit to the side.
It's like they're big old pepperonis.
And the men coming at you,
you can see that they have all kinds of
what looks to be like acne at first,
but just a lot of toppings.
They just have a lot of horrible toppings
that seem to be like embedded into their faces.
They're running at you. And you see that every step they take a slick
pool of pizza grease is left behind them disgusting people uh this is a serious question in my head for
some reason papa john's like 30 feet big let's see just a normal size man let's say he's an eight
foot tall man he's a big he's a big boy he's master chief size okay yeah okay yes he's the
size of your average master Chief. Okay, okay.
He's Master Chief sized.
Okay, great.
Two of his pizza guards run at you.
They're going to spend their entire turn to reach you.
Space marinarians, if you will.
I love that.
And the guard who already has normal
is going to drop him
and unsheathe two diamond pizza cutters.
And he is going to see Lincoln coming atters and he is going to see lincoln coming at him and
he's going to swipe at lincoln he gets a natural one what do you do that makes him miss you and
also makes you look cool i slide tackle underneath his legs okay cool you go right between his legs
okay cool a cleat straight to the ding dong red card baby yeah his knees buckle and you
successfully slide underneath him and he falls
to the ground prone and then papa john so he's gonna like take a big inhale a big big inhale
and his stomach's gonna distend and his chest is gonna distend and he looks like he's readying
something that next turn is going to happen all All right, now it is Normal's turn. Normal says, I didn't want to have to do this,
but you leave me no choice.
And I cast Spiritual Weapon.
You create a floating spectral weapon
within range that lasts for the duration
or until you cast this spell again.
When you cast the spell,
you can make a five foot melee spell attack
against a creature within five feet of the weapon.
Fun.
It's going to be a spectral,
like you remember the Teenie the Teen Puppet? It's like that be a spectral, like you remember the teeny, the teen puppet?
It's like that.
But it's like a floating puppet
with like two big Hulk hands.
And he's going to go up and like clobber the guy
who just dropped me.
Great.
Or the guy who's prone on the ground.
Yes.
So you'll get advantage on the attack
because he is prone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got a 21.
Jesus.
The teeny, the teen hand puppet
raises its big Hulk gauntleted fist and just
brings them down fucking Hulk smash style
on this dude. How much damage does it do? Five
damage. Okay, five damage. So they're soft
Hulk hands. It's like one of those
you cloud in close and it looks really huge and then you cut
back out and it is kind of small and it just goes like
yeah. And it goes out.
And now it is Taylor's turn.
First, let's say you're gonna make
another animal handling check because you're going to make another animal handling check
because you're going through the oil slick again.
19.
19, all right.
Hermie, ready your attack.
You go right, I'll go left.
Is he like, you're fucking familiar now?
Is that what's happening?
I'm his best friend, so.
That sounds like somebody who's jealous they don't have one.
I'm going to try and like sideswipe the person on the left
while I hope Hermie throws the spear into the person on the right.
Okay, cool.
So go ahead and roll.
I guess I got my handling again.
And then an attack roll.
That's a four.
You swing the wheel too hard and too fast.
Oh, big rock.
Yeah, you hit a rock.
The pussy wagon is hurtling straight towards the jacuzzi of molten cheese.
Hermie tries to slash at nothing, but he's got nothing to slash at
because you turned so quickly.
And the initial drift you were attempting to do
did not work the way you wanted it.
And this is like a ground level pool,
not like a above ground pool.
No, this is a ground level pool.
So you can like drive into it.
Not drive into a wall.
He's going to drive down into the cheese.
Okay.
He's in a above ground pool of cheese.
No, that's a good clarification. I was picturing an above ground pool. cheese. That's a good clarification.
I was picturing an above ground pool.
Like a big cauldron or something.
I did say jacuzzi, which implies above ground.
You're right.
Yeah, it can be. How scary.
How do I feel in terms of the percentage
likelihood of us going in?
Next turn, if you don't do something about it,
the pussy wagon and you are going into the molten cheese.
So I would be pretty scared if I were you.
If I was one roll away from having the coolest truck in the world,
just destroyed by mozzarella.
You fall into that cheese before you jump out.
You do not like that pussy wagon.
All I was saying is if I bail and I yell,
Hermie, take the wheel.
Oh, I like that.
Get rid of Hermie.
Jump out of that car. I'm trying to Get rid of her. Jump out of that car.
I'm trying to fucking murder her.
Jump out of that car.
What a way to go. Do I have time to do that?
Oh my God, that's a Joker storyline.
You absolutely do.
Every super villain goes into a bat.
Holy shit. You'd actually become cool.
You absolutely have time to do that. Okay, so you say
that. Go ahead and do it. I'll go, hermit take the wheel. Jump out of the car. Oh, you'd actually become cool. You absolutely have time to do that. Okay, so you say that. Go ahead and do it. Hurry, take the wheel.
Jump out of the car.
Oh, you're actually doing it.
So, Hermie goes, no problem.
And he scoots over into the driver's seat,
and he's just going to have one animal handling action
to see if he can fix this.
Meanwhile, I do a fucking cool-ass roll out of the car.
You don't have to say it's cool.
You got to roll for it.
You don't have time to jump out.
You already did your thing this turn.
You can jump out next turn.
Give him movement.
Give him his movement.
So, you know,
he was actually trying to do his thing
and his movement is leaving the car.
Will,
Will,
say he's got roll damage
just like he made you roll damage.
Yeah,
roll an acrobatics
to see if you hit hard or cool
when you hit the ground.
Fucking natural 20.
Shit.
God damn it.
I fucking hate to do it so much.
So, like,
I do like a perfect
like double shoulder roll
and I land in the blade pose like
one arm down one arm up and I go
hey
and then behind you
you hear Hermie go uh oh
and the truck
because he did not roll well
the truck splashes
into the molten pool of cheese.
It goes, uh-oh, okay,
well, this is, uh-oh, uh-oh,
and it's beginning to sink
and the cheese is rising
and it's tipping over the window.
Sorry, you left the door open.
So it's just beginning
to flood the interior
of the cabin.
He's going, ow, ow, ow,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Scary, it's your turn.
I can't believe
I've been left with this situation.
Because you rolled animal handling with the pussy wagon,
does that mean it's like a creature?
No, it's not that it's a creature.
It's just that there's no vehicle handling.
Where are you going with this?
Talk to me through your plan.
Talk to me about that.
Well, I was thinking about casting spider climb on the car.
So it's like until the spell ends,
one willing creature you touch
gains the ability to move up, down,
and across vertical surfaces
and upside down along ceilings
while leaving its hands free.
The target also gains a climbing speed
equal to its walking speed.
So it's like if I could cast it on the car,
the car could climb up out of the back.
What we'll say is if you do want to cast them in the car i will
interpret that as the wheels suddenly gaining a tremendous amount of traction so that if hermy
tries to back out then maybe the back tires which are still on the lip of the jacuzzi and this four
wheel drive obviously will maybe have the traction necessary to help him pull out of the cheese just
take a break here for a moment fuck the. You say you can turn any one of us
into Spider-Man
at any moment.
Is that because
Willy Creature
or Creatures
can you just literally
point at any one of us
and we become
Peter Parker
Spider-Man
far from home?
Is this what I want to do
with my one wild turn?
How many spell slots?
You can make us
all Skitterbugs.
We can all fucking
infiltrate a place.
This is incredible.
Just abandon the block completely. I just need her later. We're all fucking infiltrate a place. This is incredible. Just abandon the block
completely.
I just need her later.
We're all spider boys
now, Anthony.
We just want to
climb around.
We rob banks.
We're spider boys
and we rob banks
and we got cool
costumes, Anthony.
Our dads are dead
and that's our backstory.
We rob banks.
We're doing a third
campaign now about
superheroes who have
to stop the spider boys.
Take the time.
It's good because now
we know you can
literally turn us into Spider-Man.
Spider-Boys, please.
Yeah, Spider-Boys.
The cool, big, groggy teens.
Sorry, I hope you don't have any obstacles that are tall anytime soon.
That would straight up be the funniest thing in the history of podcasts.
It's like, yeah, season two was only 14 episodes because then they became Spider-Boys.
They completely abandoned the plot and just became bank robbers who climb things.
The podcast ended because spiders don't talk.
Are you trying to save Hermie?
What?
I mean, no.
I would never.
Yeah, you know what?
What I'm actually going to do is
I'm going to use my cantrip, Eldritch Blast,
and I've got two beams of energy.
Beam of crackling energy streaks towards a creature within range.
Make a range of spell attack against the target.
On hit, target takes 1d4 force damage.
And so I get two beams because I'm level eight,
and I have to roll for each of these I
guess the two that are closest yeah the two that just reach you with their sprint those ones yeah
and I'm gonna like force push them into the vat is that what you're saying yes I will aim for the
vat with my force beams my eldritch blast these guys just ran at you so you're gonna sort of like
point at them and then
give them a bunch of force at a 90 degree angle
so they go, and like fly into the fucking
vat. Yeah, I'm going to leap them into the
vat. Go ahead and give me some rolls.
Okay, so 15
plus four. Alright, so the first
Eldritch Blast of force definitely hits the guy.
And a natural one.
Plus four. Oh, plus four. Okay, well, so
natural one, the first one hits the guy,
and just as the force is about to push him into the vat,
the second one hits,
and you realize that force damage
doesn't mean you get to push somebody.
That is a completely separate thing in D&D, unfortunately.
That's just like a type of damage.
You hit the first guy, and it hurts him,
and he takes 1d10 force damage,
and that's all that's going to happen.
Nothing I try works. I'm never doing a spell again you got this scary i'm going to my room oh fuck
scary spider boys let's put you on spider boys first all right so that is a scary turn what
does a link turn look like can i say when i kick him the nuts can he have dropped one of the diamond
pizza cutters why don't you give me an advantage strength check to take one of the diamond pizza cutters?
I got 17 strength checks.
Yes, you wrench the diamond tip pizza cutter
from the disadvantage still in pained hand
of the guy that you just cleated in the balls.
What I want to do is,
because normal is freed, right?
Normal is freed.
I want to put my arm around normal
and then, you know,
like those like three-footed sack races,
I'm going to like wrap my foot
around his jet boot.
Wait, no, you're combining a sack race with the three-foot. sack races. I'm going to like wrap my foot around his jet boot. Wait, no, you're combining a sack race
with the three-footed, nobody ever does that.
Three-footed sack race.
You combine data sack race with three-legged race,
which honestly seems like a really good way to die.
In my head, when you wrap your two feet together,
you put them in a sack.
You just put it in a little sack.
That's what a sack works for.
The third foot is the holy spirit
okay so the boot is in between us you're binding the boot to one of your legs and it's in the
middle yeah so it's in the middle and i want to try no we gotta go for her me man and i want to
like do like okay i can probably do that on my turn do you want to do something on your turn
no that's no this is my movement okay so you're gonna press like that button right on his foot all right are you gonna leave scary behind i can take care of myself
activating the jet boot will be your action the movement will be whatever your movement is
scary's staying behind okay so you're gonna run up to normal grab him by the shoulders
press the jet boot and then try to jet onto the hood and it should be right into normal
because i last turn i ran to normal and attack the guy.
So I'm at normal already.
This is your first turn.
No,
no.
The last turn I sprinted and I slid underneath.
That was a stupid thing.
I gave you as a justification for him.
Natural wanting when he attacked,
you've never had a turn.
I was being nice,
which I will not do again.
Yeah,
that was,
he failed.
So he was like,
why did the guy fail?
And so it was like,
it was because you snuck in a fucking turn in there hey you asked me what happened all right the match is
telling you like it is you know all right so why don't you go ahead and make a animal handling
the worm is not an animal no no you're pressing the button and trying to ride the wave of the
jet boot as it goes off so give me a dexterity roll and as you fucking jet toward the
molten pit of cheese real high risk low reward move fuck okay dude plus three that's called a
17 okay 17 all right cool so you with holding on to fucking normal and you into the flatbed
of the pussy wagon we smoothly jumped my friends because we're perfectly balanced with the foot in the middle of our three feet. And we leap elegantly.
And then using the diamond tip.
And then diamond could definitely cut through the fucking hood of the car.
So I'm about to extract Hermie from this shit.
Like Jaws of Lifestyle.
Like Jaws of Lifestyle.
Okay, so like the roof of the fucking cabin of the pussy wagon?
Yes.
I'm cutting open the roof of the pussy wagon with my diamond-tipped pizza cutter.
Okay.
You can tell me
if that's my next turn.
On your next turn, you will.
Yes, okay.
So just Papa John's
and his minions turns once again.
The two minions,
one of whom took some force damage,
the other of whom did not,
see that Normal and Link
have jumped onto the pussy wagon
inside of the hot tub of cheese
and see that the only person around
left to attack now is Scary.
So they're just both going to do that.
Well, Taylor or Ray, sure, bro.
So they see Taylor and Scary.
So each of them is going to make an attack against either one of them.
He's going to lunge at you with his spear that he's holding.
And you can see, actually, that as he's attacking you with it,
that it's not quite a spear.
At the very end, it forks into a disc and then three little things.
And it's one of those little pizza tables, it's like really really sharp ah very good so
that is gonna hit you in the shoulder and you are gonna take this is me this is you scary you're
gonna take 10 damage okay and i let it hit me because i'm like that looks really cool at the
end it's a little table it's very cute okay great. It just slinks inside your shoulder and your.
Oh, my God.
I'm hurt.
I need attention.
So he misses me, right?
He missed you.
Yes.
So I dodged just by like sidestepping and going,
God, just all Taylor's done is scratch the car.
Yeah.
Then gave it to me, then leapt out, watched him sink.
And I'm just looking at fucking.
And in the
background you can hear him go nice one you look very cool out then the papa is going to papa john
is going to go chew oh shit forgot about this oh shit a bunch of cheese from his mouth and nose
just an explosion of is going to come out in a cone that everybody that's not in the car is going to have to roll. You're welcome. You're welcome. Dexterity saving throw to avoid getting hit by this cheese
sneeze, as it were. So that'll be scary. And Taylor both roll a dexterity saving throw. And the guards
that are in the blast radius too, right? Aren't they? They are prepared to die for the pizza
emperor. I feel like Lincoln Normal should like every turn roll like a friendship roll that like they should be able to get better at balancing their dual jetpack i love
that yes i think we should because like like it's like a training montage like like it's like any
movie it's like it's like the first time you go up in the suit you're like oh we can't handle it
but like now we're like getting synced together okay i you know what i should have done is i
should have made you roll with disadvantage because it's your first time doing this and it's really difficult with two of you and every time
you do it you should still have disadvantage but you should get plus one to even your your lowest
roll that's the deal i'm offering you best i can do disadvantage hurts quite a bit okay but we
already got plus one you're saying i'm saying the next time you do this you'll get plus one okay
that's disadvantage.
Anytime we try to fly around.
You got beginners luck this first time.
I'm not going to retcon your good roll to get here,
but anytime you want to do the three-legged potato sack jet boot race move, you will have disadvantage,
but then your results will get plus one.
But normal and Link have to say something to each other
to become better friends.
Yes, okay, great.
I am just horrified to announce that i failed my
deck save i roll a natural one plus three wow okay so taylor your mouth is open with horror
joking it doesn't happen that way that wouldn't what no that happens that's great that's so gross
we found your line finally cheese in the mouth what specifically guys sneezing cheese
i like i dodged the guy who was coming at me super fast but then i like sprained my ankle Finally cheese in the mouth. Well, specifically guys sneezing. Oh, that's so bad. I like that.
I dodged the guy who was coming at me super fast,
but then I like sprained my ankle a little bit.
I'm like,
ow.
And then I'm just don't know this.
No,
that's not what happens.
That makes you less of an asshole.
What happens is you go and you pause it.
Cause in your head,
it's an anime freeze frame as like something behind you happens,
like the car explodes or whatever.
And you're so busy being frozen there that you don't react at all.
When this cheese
expels from Papa John
and hits you
square in the fucking face
and hits your teeth.
So it's still in your mouth
like you all want it.
Classic.
Scary.
It just hits you.
You're so busy
reeling from the wound
to your shoulder
that it just hits you
square in the chest
and knocks you down.
So both of you
are adhered to the ground.
You are stuck.
Did the dinosaur sneeze in Jurassic Park?
Well, I mean, that was just gross,
but like it didn't adhere them to the tree.
There was not a secondary action scene of them trying to
spider poison.
It sucks that they never left the tree.
Yes, you were cheese webbed to the ground for your turn.
So you're going to be unable to move.
Cheese web, that's a great band name.
But you can take your action to try to extricate yourself by force.
Or you can try to do something without moving.
Oh, and also you both take 2d6 worth of damage.
Maybe we should stop this Hermie rescue mission and go rescue our real friends.
We're all the way here.
We might as well get Hermie.
We might as well get Hermie out.
Get an extra turn out of it.
Eight damage.
I'm down to three, guys.
Six damage.
Okay.
Yeah, we didn't rest from the last time. No, you did not. Yeah, I forgot
about that. Okay, now it is
Normal's turn. So we're in the cab of the
truck that is sinking into the
You're in the bed of the truck. We're in the bed of the truck
that's sinking into, it's like a sort of Dante's
Peak situation. Into the molten cheese.
Oh my gosh, yes.
First friendship thing is I go, you want the pizza
cutter or the spear? And I hold them
out to you. I'll take the spear, friend.
And I take the spear and I smash out the back window of the cab.
And then I'm going to use the spear as a pole to operate to Hermie to climb out with.
Okay.
Give me an advantage attack roll against the window because you have a diamond tip thing.
It's like a ninja rock situation.
Yeah.
Feels like it should pretty easily break the window.
We're a creature of friendship with three feet, a spear, and a pizza cutter.
I got a nine.
You got a nine.
With advantage?
Yes.
Okay, so the-
Also, I realized, should we be doing the thing where Norm, because I got scared by the doodler's
butt last episode or whatever, didn't you say I had to do something to get my shit back
together before I make rolls?
I feel like that stopped being relevant once you got grabbed by two guys, and suddenly
that sort of had your-
Was a man sneezed focus and your panic.
Was a man sneezed cheese on your friends.
That's the new scary thing.
You're laser focused on trying to get Hermie out of here.
You failed to shatter the window,
but you definitely made a big, not a crack in it.
I don't know if you've ever tried to like
break anything glass for funsies,
but like it makes like a mark there.
Like you made a little mark there
and it hasn't shattered yet.
It hasn't broken or cracked or anything like that,
but you've done some damage to the window here's to the window here's a dnd
question because i've used my attack can i use my movement to try to kool-aid man through the window
oh that's interesting do you know what i mean sure yeah to just hurl my body through the
cracked window that's cool especially if you have a jet pack. What if Anthony was like, oh, no.
Instead of, oh, yeah.
Oh, I crack myself up.
Oh, yeah, you can do that.
All right.
I go, friend, hold on to me.
All right. Make sure I don't fall too far.
And then I throw myself into the window.
Hang on, Hermie, I'm coming.
Give me a strength check.
Oh, that is a 15.
Wow.
Okay.
So, yeah, with a 15, what are you, shoulder me a strength check. Oh, that is a 15. Wow. Okay, so yeah, with a 15,
what are you, shoulder first?
How do you do this?
Just a header.
Through a glass window?
Oh, God.
Okay.
Safety glass.
It's a car.
So your dome hardened by years
of having Teeny the Teen's weighty head
pressed down on it.
True, yeah.
Your neck must be insanely strong.
Your lumbar.
Yeah, wait, what did you say? Your cervix?
Sorry, what do you call it? Because I know
cervical is the adjective form for
neck stuff. I don't know what that area is called.
Your cervix.
Your cervix.
And they're chewing my bust through my mom's
cervix when I was born.
Yeah, that's how you left. That's what happened.
You were head first, baby.
They're all head first babies, Anthony.
No, not everybody.
I wasn't.
You had a tough birth.
Oh, you were a breech baby?
Yes.
Like Caesar.
Oh, wait, no.
Her cervix was so strong.
She'd been doing so many kegels.
You had to head butt your way out.
You were brought back to the moment of your very birth.
And that is what allows you to head first shatter through the fucking window
that the rear window of the cab
of the pussy wagon. Why does anybody
listen to this? You're going to be talking about
this moment with your therapist for decades.
So you shatter
through and you're fucking, you know what it's like
It's like when Rutger Hauer
in Blade Runner when he puts his head through
the fucking wall and he's like
So you're, you just Hermie just sees you the fucking wall and he's like, so you just,
Hermie just sees you shatter in
and come in like that
and he goes,
oh, hey.
Hey, grab my head.
No problem, everybody.
And he grabs onto each of your ears
and he goes,
now what?
Oh, wait till we start.
Can we keep going
or is there a way to my turn?
So that was, that was normal's turn. Okay. Taylor, it is now your turn. On my turn, I'm just going to That was normal's turn.
Taylor, it is now your turn.
My turn is going to rock us out of there.
I love when a plan comes together.
Link's just sitting there
as his friend heads out the window.
He's like, just like you.
This is always how it's gonna go okay i will cast at the first level hellish rebuke
okay so i may be on the ground but i will note that the wording of this spell allows you to do
what i want to do which is you point your finger and the creature that damaged you is momentarily
surrounded by hellish flames the creature must make a dexterity saving throw it takes 2d 10
fire damage
on its failed save
or half as much
on a successful one.
Didn't say I need to
point my finger
at the creature.
I just need to point my finger
and I'm good.
And I'm already, yeah.
So there.
Yeah, sure, that's fine.
Yeah.
And you can point it
at the creature.
I don't have to
because I'm already
on the ground.
Oh, wow.
Now, we'll say
the casting time for that
is a reaction.
That's not even your action.
Oh, oh, I see.
That happened when he... So that was last time. That happened last... So basically what we're going to say is that happened when he. That's not even your action. Oh, oh, I see. That happened when he...
So that was last time.
That happened last...
So basically what we're going to say
is that happened when he sneezed
the fucking cheese onto you.
So he will now do a dexterity saving throw.
And I do my best impression
of like the JoJo's point.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yes.
Oh, I see.
You still want to point your finger
just not at him.
Exactly.
I just said...
But the spelled wording says specifically
just says point your finger.
It doesn't say in the appointment
at the creature.
I think the rules lawyer would have really made sure.
You are really digging my ass to court on that one.
Let me tell you.
No, that finger's pointing at him, Freddy.
There's two things that come down hard on.
It's potato sack, three-legged races, and pointing.
All right, so he fails his save.
So he is going to take 2d10 fire damage, you said?
Yeah.
Nice.
Great.
So he takes 13 damage.
He's just on fire now.
You see a slight curl of his smile on his face,
on his very moist and shiny face.
And he goes, oh, we're turning it up now, huh?
I'm about to get deep dish on you.
Oh, no.
Okay, so you are out of spell slots now.
I'm like just stuck on the ground here, right?
Yes, you can take an action to try to like,
you know, free yourself from that shit.
And also, oh gosh, sorry.
I have poorly set the stage.
When the two of you rocketed into the flatbed
of the pussy wagon,
you were doing so next to all of the items
that you had brought in from daddy.
So the ATM sized machine with a button on it
and the puberty tree and all the stuff and a
puberty tree and all that kind of stuff yeah is that where's that stuff that was all in the
loaded that up into the back of the truck free through all our stuff in the pool i just want to
roll the tape back and say matt was really psyched about my move and now he's turning on me
wait wait wait sorry this is important free underneath the tree when we're in the pussy wagon?
The puberty tree?
Roll a d20.
Both of you roll a d20.
Oh, no.
Is it a straight d20?
Just give me a straight d20.
I got an eight.
Well.
I got a natural one.
Oh, no.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Okay, so we'll deal with Link first.
Link, if you don't move the tree or move yourself next turn,
you're going through puberty.
Like more.
But more.
Like more.
Like harder.
Okay.
Quick question.
Are there any-
I'm dealing with other
things right now so this tree was just in the flatbed it was in the flatbed you were so excited
to go rescue her me and then probably what happened is when it slammed into the jacuzzi
like it toppled over and i was aiming back no i was just sitting there in the back like a
fucking palm tree we just landed underneath its shade no i think what i think it's what we'll say yeah it went in it fell over but the way that i described it earlier for like a fucking palm tree and we just landed underneath its shade. I think it's what Will said. It went in,
it fell over, but the way that I described it earlier...
Don't you have to be under it for a full minute or something like that?
What was the rules on the puberty?
It was a minute, wasn't it? Not six seconds.
I did get a natural one, though.
You did get a taste of puberty.
Alright. Well, I don't want to. This feels mean.
Can I grow a mustache?
Oh, yeah. A really gross mustache.
A horrible mustache? What Hermie sees is your head shattered through, yeah. A really gross mustache. A horrible mustache.
So what Hermes sees is your head shattered through the glass.
You turn to him.
Yeah!
You say, grab my head.
And the mustache appears.
Like the most disgusting, incomplete mustache.
Patchy mustache normal.
An inverse Hitler appears on your lip.
Patchy mustache normal.
And he goes, oh, my.
And he grabs your ears.
And I go, whoa, what's wrong? Because I haven't seen it yet. And he goes oh my and he grabs your ears and I go whoa what's wrong
because I haven't seen it yet
and he goes
nothing
nothing
we'll talk about it later
you're acting really gross
like you're acting grossed out
no I just
I didn't know
I thought there was no ceiling
to what I couldn't react to
and in this moment
I'm finding even my ability
to act normal
to act chill
is being significantly tested
okay fair enough
here's my move.
I'm a cantrip thaumaturgy.
Okay.
One of the effects
of thaumaturgy
is my voice booms
up to three times
as loud as normal
for one minute.
Okay.
So I'm now three times
as loud for the next
ten rounds of combat.
Okay.
And then I'm gonna
This is what Taylor needed.
Just to be louder.
Just louder.
Yeah.
And then I'm gonna shout a
Hey everyone,
look over there!
Uh, roll deception with disadvantage look over there. Uh,
roll deception with disadvantage.
But loud.
Yeah.
And coming from your direction,
you can't also throw your voice.
Also,
everyone's looking at you.
Yeah.
All they're going to think is,
wow,
that kid's loud.
They're not going to think,
hey,
we should look into a place that has not been specifically pointed out to us.
They probably would be more likely to look if you weren't loud,
but now you're still loud.
They're weirded out by you.
All they're going to do is look at you.
That's a six.
Yeah, everyone looks at you.
And now they know not to trust the loud voice.
They just said, look over there if it happens in the future.
Well, I had one shot.
Sorry, hold on.
That wasn't enough.
Well, I had one shot.
Classic turn.
I just played D&D roasted by my fellow players.
That was a collaborative game.
I had so many other things that were going to happen
in this fucking episode.
Scary, it's your turn.
Okay, question.
Is the cheese that's holding me down,
is this like a mythic sort of cheese
or like a curse cheese
or is it just regular cheese?
What spell are you trying to fucking
sneakily use that will get you out of here?
Just fucking show me.
You can just ask him.
You don't have to like trick him.
You're my fucking son coming up to me
holding something in my hands back
with a bashful look on your face like,
Dad, if I hypothetically,
if I maybe did a...
Just show me.
It's just remove curse.
No.
That will not do it.
Well, remove curse will remove curse.
I'm so much more powerful than Taylor,
but I can only think of just getting my knife out.
You got fireball.
Oh, I wish we had that reviser hat from season one
because you could turn it to remove curds.
Remove curds?
Does that remove actually your lactose intolerance?
It would be remove curds because there's still an E there.
I think I'm just going to use the knife to cut
because I'm holding it in my hand already.
Yes.
So I think I'm just going to cut the cheese
away from it.
Nice.
Woo!
Oh, I get it.
All right.
So when was the last time
we rolled for whether
or not you jerked off?
Do me a favor and roll.
I would use Google for this.
I would not do this
with a regular dice.
Go ahead and roll
a wisdom saving throw
nine times.
Then add your wisdom modifier
to each of those individually.
And if any of them are below 10,
then on that day,
scary jerked off.
You don't have to tell us what day it was.
You're going to have to
because the other days that you didn't jerk off,
you will still get the bonus from those days.
There were two days.
How many days consecutively before?
How long has it been?
The last one.
Yeah, how long has it been?
That's the question.
If I'm looking question if i'm looking
if i'm looking sorry if i'm looking at these dice scary i'm sorry i'm sorry if i if i'm looking at
these dice in a row it looks like i have jerked off the last two days So you held off. The night is worthless. The night does 1D4.
The night does 1D4.
Oh, no.
Real secret.
You were literally going to get, let me see.
It was going to be like a 6D4.
And then you couldn't help it.
Stop thinking about it.
Right before you went in, did you excuse yourself in the bathroom right before you went in?
Something about theater class with Herbie.
Well, I was thinking, I was like,
no, I'm not going to get into it.
I guess at some point in the last
24 hours. So it's just a knife
is what it is. It's just a normal knife. It's just a 1D4
damaged knife. Well, good thing I'm
only trying to cut cheese.
Yeah, good thing you're only using it
against cheese. So go ahead and give me an attack roll
against the cheese. Okay.
15. There you go. So go ahead and give me an attack roll against the cheese. Okay. 15.
There you go.
Okay.
So yeah, you hack the mozzarella enough to allow yourself to move.
This turn as much as you want.
And the next turn, you also get an action.
Okay.
Is there anything movement-wise you would like to do?
I want to get as close to the guys as I can.
To like the lip of the jacuzzi?
Yeah.
Okay.
Link, your turn.
Okay.
So in order to get friendship points to add to my
disadvantage role i look at no i go whoa dude that's a sick mustache man that looks really good
oh my god oh my god yeah dude looks amazing you can see it in the rearview mirror i look up at
the rear view mirror whoa my mustache is cool you look like a dad you look like you look like a man
so cool are you telling the truth yeah yeah i think it's cool i think it's cool you know i'm My mustache is cool. You look like a dad. You look like a man. So cool.
Are you telling the truth?
Yeah, I think it's cool.
I think it's cool.
You know, I'm just trying to make him feel good.
No, I don't think it looks cool.
Okay, then roll deception.
Even if I know I'm lying, he would appreciate it.
Roll deception.
Roll deception.
Yeah.
I got a seven.
Okay, so with a seven, normally you do feel closer to Link for him having lied,
but you know you don't look good.
You know that this is bad.
In future interactions with other people,
keep this in mind when it comes to your confidence level.
No, I feel like it'd be a miracle
for more high school guys to know their mustache was bad.
I feel like this is a huge service that Link is just a norm.
Hermes holding his head yes
and then i'm holding we're attached like one arm around each of each other's waist and we got our
free arms which have weapons in them and then our third leg has a jet pack so i'm just going to
point like high and just try to rock it off of this thing but okay so my it's on my leg no but
yeah but our legs are like wrapped together. Okay, sure
Is showing off his arms wrapped around your toes wrap each other like hands? What are you doing?
Matt is showing off his arms wrapped around each other with fingers interlocked like a
million boa constrictors.
How do I re-explain what I've already done?
So your legs are like this the whole time.
I thought your leg was just nexus.
But okay, so your ankles are kind of wrapped around.
You crossed ankles, essentially.
Here's my point.
What direction are you pointing the rocket boot?
Well, your head is smashed in.
Like, you're bent over.
The foot is still on the-
So you're aiming it at the ground. Yeah, I'm just trying in. Like, you're bent over. The foot is still on the-
So you're aiming it at the ground.
Yeah, I'm just trying to rock us out.
Angled in so that-
So his head would go straight up and snap his neck.
Oh, God.
For my action.
Oh, I know what you want to do.
You want to-
I just want to pull his head out of the plane.
No, no, no.
I'm describing, like, let me set the scene
so this makes sense.
His head is there.
His legs are flush with the flatbed.
So what you probably want to do
is move your and Normal's leg up
so that it's like pressed against
what used to be the window
and then boost away.
Oh, is there a reverse?
When there's a boost,
you go in the opposite direction of the boost.
Okay.
What would a reverse on a booster rocket be?
That's what I'm asking.
I mean, suck myself to wall.
And there's a point
because we can be spider boys, okay?
Can't I literally just pull his head out of the car?
He's already broken his head in
so it doesn't feel like it's a whole action to pull his head out of the no i don't think so i'm just
trying to leap away because they're we're all grabbed onto each other all right all right give
me a rule for pulling out hermy and and his head yeah because if hermy slips i'm fine with that
like i'm doing my best like we're sinking i'm assuming oh that's the case then you're if you're
just pulling out uh normal except the hermy if he he hangs on. Okay. Uh, that's a 17.
Okay.
So you successfully managed to back up a little bit.
Hermie holding onto a normal's head is pulled out.
You see that as he is pulled out, pretty much everything from the knees down was submerged entirely in the
cheese and is really badly burned.
Oh no.
Oh God.
And he was like,
Hey,
doesn't feel pain.
And now I'm going to leap off this vehicle.
Okay.
You're going to blast off.
You're going to blast off.
You're going to blast off.
Okay, so go ahead and roll dexterity
with disadvantage
and then add one to the result.
Do I get two now?
Because we had two friendship things.
No.
Okay.
You'll get to do one before and after.
Okay.
Okay, so animal handling plus one disadvantage.
Yes, please.
The first one's a 19 plus two plus one.
So 22.
So far so good.
That's a 10 plus two plus one.
So 13.
So with a 13, you activate your jet boots.
You and normal and Hermmy shoot through the air but the suddenness
of using the jet boot and the awkward weight distribution means that perfect anymore hermy
kind of messes up the he's kind of messing up the he's a crowd trajectory
he's messing up the trajectory and you can tell that two of us. He's messing up the trajectory
and you can tell
that you are going to plummet
back into the cheese
unless something is done.
Like,
how far away from the shore,
the cheese shore,
are we going to land?
How big is this pool?
How far from the shore
of this jacuzzi
do we need to sail?
That's part of it.
I feel like this car
was like far away.
Seereth by land,
brief by shore.
What?
It wasn't that funny, Will.
Okay, so somebody
needs to help us.
Well.
Taylor can shout at us.
It is Papa John's turn
and his minions.
How many of the minions
are left?
I mean, you haven't done
anything to any of them.
Well, no.
One of them's down.
We've almost solved the problem you started.
So the prone one stands up.
Oh, God.
With only one diamond pizza gutter.
The other two see Scary and Taylor,
who are still within their purview.
And they begin to move forward as if to attack you. And then Bob, John says,
wait,
raises his arms to the sky and then brings them down really hard.
And the ground beneath you shakes.
And one,
two,
three,
four big lines appear,
um,
traversing the diameter of this camp in a sort of pizza slice kind of,
yeah,
formation red lights coming from these lines. You can feel the ground beneath you beginning to equate. of this camp in a sort of pizza slice kind of formation. Red light
is coming from these lines. You can feel the ground beneath you
beginning to quake a little bit. So it's a video game boss fight move
ever. Yes, he's telling you where next turn
bad things are going to happen. Those lines
intersect with exactly
where Taylor is. All of them?
Well, one of them does.
All of them. One of them
intersects with where Taylor is, and then one of them
intersects with the car.
Okay.
And all of your stuff.
I think our stuff's already gone.
I will read that one off.
All right.
Fair enough.
What a shame.
That vending machine will never be used.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, you're right.
The vending machine, the whole Daddy Warbucks thing.
I mean, we might be able to drain this pool later, depending on what happens next.
We might own this camp.
This is a little bit of cheese damage.
Sure.
Why not?
You've done almost no damage
to any of the bad guys, but yeah, maybe you'll own this place.
Beth has not used Fireball yet.
She can kill this whole camp if you wanted to.
Okay, so yes, he basically... I did 12 damage
to the Papa John's. Yeah, it's not bad.
Papa John calls down the pizza
slice lasers, basically.
The airstrike
is marked. And it's like, you see him shaking
and you can feel the next turn
something bad is gonna happen from those cracks okay um the the the minions calm down beth i'm
sorry you jerked off before you came into the forgotten problems calm down the three guards
one of them is gonna rush to papa john's side and try to pat out the flames and try to heal him
he fails this is so he just ends up just patting Papa John.
Just weirdly, just around his midsection.
The other two see that Taylor is still stuck in place.
So the other two are going to attack Scary.
You dodge one of the attacks from one of the spears,
but the other one hits you in the other shoulder
and you take-
A lot of shoulder damage.
Five damage.
Ow, oh my God, I'm so injured. Guys,
look. Guys, I'm
so hurt.
You have like a million HP left, don't you?
I have 13. Okay, that's not so bad.
We're all very hurt.
Yeah, I hurt myself with Fireball.
And we didn't rest in the car.
No, you didn't. Alright, normal, it's your turn.
Alright, so we're
hurtling towards... You're hurtling through the sky,
and at your current trajectory,
you're just going to land straight in the cheese.
But you get plus two now for animal handling.
I guess you do, yeah.
Yeah, if you want to try again.
So I'm wearing the boot, right?
Yes, it is on your foot.
So does that count as a move action
for me to try to use it,
or is this still like an action for me to try to use it?
You'll still have to roll dexterity because you don't know how to control it, but let's say it's a move action instead like an action for me to try to use it you'll still have
to roll dexterity because you don't know how to control it but let's say it's a move action
instead of an action action just for shit's sake okay in that case i'm going to use my move action
to try to steer us away from the cheese chasm that we're finding ourselves hurtling into okay
if you roll badly though we're going straight into the cheese you gotta turn two you and her
me can both also attempt to steer to us away from the cheese yeah yeah dice, hot dice, hot dice. You got a turn two. You and Hermie can both also attempt
to steer us away
from the cheese.
Yeah, yeah.
I was just saying
if you roll like a one,
we're going into the cheese.
It's a disadvantage.
You gotta roll us twice.
I got a 13.
With a disadvantage?
Oh, god damn it.
Fucking disadvantage.
Wait, do I get
the friendship bonus too?
You get plus two.
You get plus two.
I got an eight.
Okay.
Your angle gets
a little bit worse.
You point down a little bit more. You point down a little bit more.
You point down directly into the cheese.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
But you still have your action.
I look at Link.
I go, Link, you got to do it, buddy.
You got to get us out of here.
And I pat him on the shoulder.
I guess we're already,
I got to flap my hand to tap him a little bit.
And I cast Guidance,
which is one of my cantrips.
Nice.
And now, once before the spell ends,
the target can roll a d4 and add the rolled number
to one ability check of their choice.
So he's got a little bit of boost to...
Cool.
And also, I say, my favorite color's blue!
And we get another friendship point.
Whoa, man, me too!
Same-sies! I really don't want to die!
We got a lot more in common than I think.
Yeah, wow.
Great.
So it is now Taylor's turn.
Okay, I'm going to look down and be like, eh, eh.
Okay, so where is this red line intersecting me?
It would, like, bisect you vertically.
Oh, like a gold finger.
Like a bond, like a gold finger.
Yeah, a gold finger.
Classic.
All right, so I'm going to try and struggle out of my cheese-based restraints.
Okay.
She'd want to just yell loudly again.
Wow, that kid's loud and now he's cutting too.
A D&D party divided against itself.
This is the part of the movie where, no, they can't work together.
And then, you know, there's later on room to grow.
You have your katana, so you can try cutting it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to try and cut through with my katana.
You'd have to, like, draw it.
You didn't draw your katana beforehand.
That's true.
And it's like you're pretty constricted against yourself.
So still give me a strength.
14 plus 3, 17.
Okay.
So turns out mozzarella cheese is not a strong restraint.
You slice through the cheese pretty handily.
As anyone who's eaten string cheese knows,
the fact that you can eat it any way you want.
No, string cheese incident.
That's the name of the episode.
Holy shit, yeah.
Damn.
And then I roll out of the way really cool.
Okay, great.
That's really loud.
Hey!
Yeah, yeah, it's three times louder than normal.
It's watching a dub that they didn't mix properly.
It's three times louder than normal.
It's watching a dub
that they didn't mix properly.
There's a loud breathing
coming from my corner.
Link, it is your turn.
Okay, well, yeah,
I'm going to try to maneuver
ourselves away from the cheese.
All right.
We'll keep going down that.
It's really the last chance here.
Okay, so I got disadvantaged
but I get plus three friendship now.
Okay.
Right?
You said every time
we get plus one friendship
because we're getting better
at flying.
I'm already feeling like I should nerve this a little bit.
Yeah.
We failed four times, Anthony.
Yeah, I know.
But if you just all,
if you just spend the next three episodes being like,
I guess we try the jet boot,
then eventually be like,
oh, we get plus 25.
It doesn't matter if we have fucking disadvantage or not.
You can make it run out of fuel.
There's a million things you can do, Anthony.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm saying down the line,
I'll find a way to balance this.
But right now, yes, you get plus three.
I still feel like it's pretty hard.
How are friendship fucking rules, dude?
Okay, and I roll a d4.
You can burn the d4 afterwards because you can choose your role.
Yes, you can wait.
Ooh, okay, okay.
Ooh, 19 plus three.
Disadvantage, bro.
That's 22.
I know, I know, 22.
Okay, 22.
So I got first.
Remember when you were really excited last time?
Remember when you were really excited last time?
22, New Beginnings.
Remember when you crashed your pussy wagon at 100 miles an hour?
So last year I crashed my pussy wagon at 120 miles an hour.
Okay, do the math here.
I got an 11 plus 3, so that's 14, so that's not too bad.
I'm going to use that D4, okay?
Will, I'm just going to be thinking about the numbers the whole time.
That's 2, so that's 15.
So that's 15.
14.
You said 14 is 16.
It is 16.
Oh.
2 plus 14 is 16.
Oh, yeah, 11 plus 3 plus 2, yes.
Okay, great.
With a 16, you managed to right yourself,
and suddenly all three of you are going in a lateral line,
straight parallel to the cheese.
You've dropped below the hard deck.
Fuck yes.
It's like Maverick right here. Yeah yeah and you are just barely fucking like the wake the
cheese cutter and the cheese is just like making a little ripple
uh yeah and the three of you managed to skid cheese forces
the three of you managed to skid onto the surface on the other side of the cheese jacuzzi.
Actually, why don't you roll acrobatics?
You're going to land safely on the ground no matter what,
but do you have the control necessary to not land in one of the pizza cutter zones?
Oh.
Well, but they're very, very small.
I got two plus three, so five.
Wow.
Okay, cool.
You crash onto the dry land,
and you roll for a bit. And when you come
to a stop link, you look up and you see that both normal and Hermie, there's a light coming from the
ground that they're laying on top of. So both of them are going to be hit by my action or my move
action. Uh, well, you're a mid flight already, but it's attached to me. That was why it was my
move. Will gets to use it as a move. That was your action. You have a move. But we have established
you can use a move to ram into things.
Yeah, so you can ram into us.
Alright, here's what it is.
You can ram into one of them.
Oh, I'm messing these hands up.
Oh no, it's your wife or that neighbor you've
never met. What are you gonna do?
I was gonna say
So I'm going to roll and grab
normal and like roll with him. Okay. And then as I'm rolling, I'm going to say for me. So I'm going to roll and grab normal and like roll with him.
Okay.
And then as I'm rolling,
I'm going to cast.
I wish you could see the look on my fucking face or reaction.
You can't cast a reaction.
We actually just think that happened.
I'll just wait for her to get fucked.
When is Hermes turn?
Hermes turn is part of Taylor's.
So I guess I could have given him a turn while you guys were doing that stuff.
Yeah, but he's not part of the jetpack crew.
He couldn't maneuver the jetpack.
Yeah, but in theory, he didn't get to move on Taylor's turn.
Oh, yeah, we held his turn.
Yeah, we delayed his turn.
Yeah, Anthony, we held his turn.
Nice.
Okay.
So he goes, oh, no, my legs.
I can't move.
Because I did establish that they were burned above.
Yeah, fair enough.
Shit.
Like volcano?
Yeah.
Yeah, like volcano.
Oh no.
Just roll, Hermie.
It hurts.
I can try to roll.
Like a burrito roll.
It hurts too much for him to roll.
He rolled badly on his acrobatics check.
And he goes, you know, the greatest joke.
And then it's Papa John's turn at that point.
It's not my turn?
Oh, did I skip you?
I'm so sorry. Scary, it's your turn. We at that point. It's not my turn? Oh, did I skip you? I'm so sorry.
Scary, it's your turn.
We also do have Hermie about to die.
And also for now, you can cast Fireball
just like farther than 20 feet away from you.
Okay, well, I don't know.
I'm a little gun shy on Fireball.
So I'm going to do Wall of Fire.
This is, you create a wall of fire
on a solid surface within range.
You can make the wall up to 60 feet long,
20 feet high, and one foot thick.
So I'm just going to aim this at Papa John and his minions, or the minions that are next to him.
When the wall appears, each creature within its area must make a dexterity saving throw.
On a failed save, a creature must take 5d8 fire damage.
5d8? Jesus.
Or half as much damage on a successful save.
Classic jazz ball situation.
Yeah.
She's not locking anything in.
It's just a line.
No, no, I'm just saying.
I'm just visualizing it.
From you to where Papa John is
intersects with,
I guess,
two of the guys
that were fighting you.
There was a guy healing him, too.
You're going to get
two dudes and Papa John.
A family can be two dudes.
Jesus Christ.
This is such a weird lopsided game. Jesus Christ. This is such a weird
lopsided game.
Jesus Christ.
Get it, guys?
Cheesy crust.
Yeah.
Okay, the one nearest you
just fucking immolates.
He's just like,
gets immediately
just absorbed by the fire.
The one who's patting
Papa John to try to heal him
goes, no,
and like stands in front of him
with his arms out
like trying to stop the fire
and the fire just and he just goes up to him.
And then Papa John is going to take also.
He's just murdered so many people.
24 damage Papa John takes.
And he goes like,
and he puts his hands on the chair
and he pushes himself up from it.
And like all the different like hoses
and stuff that are plugged into him.
They're just spraying fucking oregano and grease and olive oil everywhere.
And he is now out of his throne and on fire.
And he is going to start heading towards you on his turn, which is now his arms still up.
And now he's on fire and angry.
He's entered phase two of his boss fight.
Oh, no.
He like brings his arms down and the ground
at all the different laser areas between you splits and pure brick oven fire sprays from the
ground in those areas hermy takes a jet of fire i use my reaction for a protection i don't know
if this is gonna matter for this spell and he just has disadvantage on the attack roll is that
gonna help her me the way it's going to work
is kind of like an area of effect thing.
So Hermie will be able to like make a saving throw
to try to roll out of the way.
But it's going to be disadvantaged
because he's not very mobile right now.
So we got a four.
So yeah, a jet of brick oven fire
comes out of the ground
and just gets him right in the face and chest.
And he's blown back onto his back
as the Joker suit he's wearing also begins to catch fire.
And he starts thrashing around
and trying to roll himself out.
And he's like, eh.
Guys, don't worry.
He can act like he's alive.
What the fuck, Scary?
Hey, that's my best friend.
Normal, it is your turn.
I'm going to cast Cure Wounds on Hermie.
Fucking really?
We don't like this guy.
This is your fault.
This is all objective for Taylor's fault.
You just said he was your best friend.
Why are you mad that he's healing him?
You can say he's my best friend and then wink, he'll be,
but you're my friend.
Oh, you're mad that he's not healing you?
Yeah.
Oh, but you're not dead yet.
I'm real close though.
Hermie's on fire.
Hermie's down.
Hermie is like,
he's thrashing around for a bit,
but then he stops moving.
Okay, so he's been death saves?
You don't know.
Okay.
You don't know if in this world
NPCs have death saves
or if they just die.
I rush over to Hermie and I once again strip off my T-shirt
to fan the flames out and cast Spare the Dying on him
to stabilize him.
The fire goes out and the smoke clears
and you see that despite the fact
that he's wearing a Joker costume,
he is now perfectly burned like Two-Face
across the entire left side of his face.
He looks up at you, his eyes open, and he goes,
I knew you liked me.
Aww.
Aww.
And the Cameron from Ferris Bueller voice goes,
Normal, I'll get my hair out.
So he's alive.
And now it's Taylor's turn.
And you have an angry Papa John coming towards you all as a group.
Dude, I can do fucking dick shit right now.
Oh, also, and you see in the intervening six seconds, the pussy wagon and all of your stuff,
except for what you have on you, submerges into the molten cheese.
You guys mad at me?
Don't be mad at me.
Normal's definitely mad at you.
No, Matt Orlik is not mad. bad yeah i'm gonna turn to the line of
assembled people what's the vibe of that line just sad a lot of people resigned to their fates like
they're not pumped about being turned into pizza or whatever no i'm gonna use thaumaturgy so i
don't have the same effectiveness as glenn as this but this is definitely glenn move something deep
within you awakens yeah my fellow citizens of this land you fuck this guy. We outnumber him.
Let's take him down.
Yeah, 15.
Okay, so with a 15,
the would-be pizza cheese people
turn to each other
and realize,
oh, you just killed
most of the guards
that were nearby.
Maybe we should...
You're beginning to get to them.
Rally to me, your leader.
I think maybe next turn
you'll get that
but I don't think
right away.
I stand on a
slightly raised rock
to try and give
myself a little
height boost.
Steps on top of
Hermie.
In miniatures they
call it a tactical
rock because every
important character
has one foot on a
rock.
It just is cooler.
That's hilarious.
I didn't know that.
That's funny.
All right,
Scary, it's your turn.
So Papa, I mean, I'm not going to call him Papa, but.
And yet the die has already been cast.
You already did it.
Oh, no.
Okay, so John is coming towards.
PJ, if you will.
Is coming towards us still?
Yes.
Okay.
I am going to cast my poison spray cantrip.
Okay.
You extend your hand toward a creature.
You can see within range and project a puff of noxious gas from your palm.
The creature must succeed on a constitution saving throw or take 1d12 poison damage.
The spell's damage increases by 1 D12 when you reach fifth level.
So two D12.
Oh boy.
And so,
yeah,
I raised my hand and I'm like,
Hey,
smell this asshole.
Better ingredients,
better,
uh,
you know,
like shit.
Uh,
as your fingers begin to spray out poison
he goes you could have
done something with
cut the cheese
that you already
with the smell of it
and then it hits him
and you do 17 fucking
damage to this guy
as he fails his
constitution saving throw.
How much damage?
17 damage.
She can just do that
every turn.
Is it 17 poisson damage?
Yes it is poisson damage.
Fish damage.
Is that fish damage?
Does he look bad finally?
Yeah he doesn't look great
that's why he went into
his second mode as he stands up. Another health bar that fish damage? Does he look bad finally? Yeah, he doesn't look great. That's why he went into his second mode as he
stands up. Another health bar. That's cheap.
So he begins to cough.
Little individual slices of pepperoni are coming
out. Oh god.
Now it is Link's turn. I'm just going to cast
Protection from Good and Evil on Hermie
and then I'm going to just like, you know,
army style like with Hermie and
I'm just trying to get out of there. I'm just trying to
move away from Papa John because they both them are pretty pretty hurt so i'm just moving away and i'm
hurt too i only have six hp so it feels like scary can more or less do this
all right so you grab uh her me under his arms well yeah essentially it'll be a disadvantage
on attack rolls against the target her me cool so so now it is is Papa John's turn. He's going to pull out from his
inventory from behind him. He reaches behind
himself like a video game.
When his hand comes back around, it's holding a big
old glass jar with a metal
lid on the top with a bunch of holes in it. And inside you can see
red peppers. And he's going to
fucking dunk it and throw it on the ground
like a grenade. Who's he doing that to?
It's an area of effect. So everybody
rule a dexterity saving throw.
Oh boy. Come on.
Nine plus three, twelve. I got
thirteen. I got a five.
I got a fifteen. Fifteen. Okay.
Everybody except for Link.
God damn. You are going
to take a d10
of damage.
Alright, I'm in death saves.
Oh my god. Okay. Okay. Okay. in the death saves. Oh my god!
Okay, okay, okay. One.
Wow, lucky you.
That little scrape on the cheekbone.
Scary you specifically feel just one
pepper flake scrape your cheekbone
and you can even feel just that part burning.
I'm like, ow!
Whereas Taylor takes a shitload
of them to the face, you feel like your entire face is fucking on fire,
even though it's not.
It's like a Home Alone aftershave situation.
Yeah, I slap my hands on my cheeks and I go, ah.
And you fall unconscious to the ground.
You're knocked out.
You're in death saves.
Okay.
Hermie gets knocked back down into death saves again.
He's like conscious for a second
and then like it hits him again.
He goes, oh no.
And falls down again, goes limp in Link's arms and normal what happened to you i have two hit points
left wow well good thing you're not dead because you're the healer all right normal it is your turn
okay all right so normal is feeling this whirlwind of emotions right now just this seething he's so
confused he's got a mustache he's freaking out he's like
do i like her me i don't know what's going on and then everybody blew up normal feels this
overwhelming amount of love for everybody on the team right and he's like no i these are all my
friends all my all my boys are in trouble my spider boys and he uh casts Life. It's a channel divinity skill.
As an action, you can restore 15 HP.
Choose any creatures within 30 feet of you
and divide those hit points among them.
Oh, that's great.
So here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to give eight for Hermie and seven for Taylor.
Taylor does a kip up and goes,
I didn't even feel a thing.
I also send Teenie the Teen to go punch Papa John.
And floats through the air. What is the Teenie the Teen to go punch Papa John. And floats through the air.
What is the Teenie?
I have my spiritual weapon.
That would be an action, right?
It's a bonus action.
That's what I'm saying.
I just forgot that I can be
I should have been doing it
this whole time.
So he'll roll an attack.
I got an 11.
Okay.
So with an 11,
he runs through the air
spectrally toward Papa John
and goes
and starts like trying to like punch him and his
punches seem to at least at this time do next to nothing Papa John completely ignores him teeny
the teen is once again powerless and knock out a big dumb idiot Taylor oh no no I'm gonna turn
the crowd so there's like fires flickering around all over right so thaumaturgy allows me to cause
flames to flicker brighten dim, dim, or change color
for one minute.
So I'm going to change the color of all the fire
to like green around this
in a bid to convince the crowd.
My citizens, we have suffered far too long
under this monster's rule.
Come with me, a powerful warlock,
and together we will overtake him.
And then I change the color around the fire to emphasize my point.
So you're allowed in the fire changes colors.
Why are you laughing?
They're riled up, dude.
Pay no attention to the teen behind the curtain.
All right, roll persuasion.
No advantage, nothing?
The thaumaturgy didn't, the little fire change didn't help?
A little razzle dazzle.
A little razzmatazzle razzle dazzle
I'll give you a plus one
these guys are pretty bored
this must be impressive
five plus one
ooh
the oldest person
the one who told you
pizza
it was in there
he goes like
other people have magic
in this world
I know what thaumaturgy is
frankly you also amount of spell slots.
So, Taylor, is there anything else you want to do?
I'm going to run to try and get away from the area of effect.
All right, great.
Scary, it is your turn.
Looks like I'm on my own.
Let me take you on a journey inside Scary's brain.
You hear her voiceover.
Everything else fades away.
Dear Diary, I had an entire turn to think of something witty to say
when it came back around to me.
About the poison spray, that is.
I still can't think of anything.
All I could do was open my mouth and say,
Hey, take this! Again!
And I cast poison spray again.
Okay, great.
He succeeded his saving throw.
So does he take half or take, no.
Okay, so you poison spray him
and he goes,
a whole turn to think of something cool to say.
And yet, shit, now I can't think of anything cool to say.
Shit.
Fucking asshole.
Fuck, fuck.
Still didn't hurt though.
Hater.
Now it is Link's turn.
Is he undead?
I would say that's probably fair, yeah.
Okay.
You just said a cleric and a paladin's favorite words.
I want to...
I'm going to try and make this thematic.
I want to turn the unholy, which is as an action, you can censure an undead.
Each female dead that you can see within 30 feet must make a wisdom saving throw DC 10 on a failure.
It is turned for one minute.
So I'm going to turn around and be like, hey, hey, mister.
Hey, buddy, you're an adult, sir.
You're not acting like we're just a bunch of kids and you're just a big old media.
You're a business owner.
I thought like, what are you doing, man?
You don't treat your employees right. Gosh, darn it. This is, you know, it's improper. a big old media you're you're a business owner i thought like what are you doing man you you you
don't treat your employees right gosh darn it this is you know it's improper you're just an
improper person and i think you should uh i think you should apologize that's what i think i'm
censoring you why don't you apologize so it was a wisdom saving throw of dc 10 he got an 18 fuck
god damn it coin flip baby yeah he goes no you baby. He goes, no, you're, who are you?
Wait a second.
Who in the hell, what is this?
What is this?
And on his turn, he's going to run forward,
and he's going to grab, I feel like the person
probably closest to him was, who do we think?
Not Taylor.
Taylor's way out of reach.
Probably scary.
Okay. Probably scary. Okay.
So cool. He's going to run up and grab Scary
with his natural 20.
It's just going to happen. And he's
going to do an arcana check on you by
He leans in and just takes several
big lungfuls of your air. Okay,
creepazoid. His eyes narrow and he goes, like the others.
Like the same man twice.
What?
Like a sparrow twins.
I am not a twin.
I'll have you know I'm the only one that's like me.
He says, stop.
I can offer you your lives if you stop fighting
because I'm going to kill you
yeah that's what I just said buddy
yeah
sounds like you listened to me
not like I'm going to leave
yeah no I hear you
you stop fighting
good job
I will give you a choice
because at Papa John's
you can make many different choices
about what you might like
for your meal
we can either
take this fight
to its logical conclusion,
which I will almost certainly destroy all of you.
I also know what thaumaturgy is.
You have no spells left.
Or part-time employment.
Oh, God.
Oh, no.
Like for you?
You will work for me.
One of Papa's children.
Papa takes good care of his children.
Link, don't listen. We'll have to wear uniforms.
You will have to wear uniforms.
That was one of the things that I wrote down. Yes,
you will have to wear uniforms. Yes.
Can we see like a contract?
Yes or no.
You have
one real-time minute to decide
amongst yourselves. And if you
don't decide, I'm just going to fucking go ape
shit on you and kill you.
Before we get into that,
after all of our damage,
do we have a sense of like how much he's...
How tough does he look?
Is he bloodied?
Is he any of that?
He is just on the other side
of not bloodied.
Okay.
And we've done about
like 50 damage.
Guys, I don't know.
I'm pretty tapped out.
I don't have a lot of gas
left in the tank.
Hermes really messed up. I don't have any healing of gas left in the tank. Hermes really messed up.
I don't have any healing anymore.
And I have six HP.
What's everybody's HP?
I have 12.
I have seven.
I'm at two.
Do you have any more spell slots?
I have, I know what you're thinking.
Did he cast three spells?
I have a bunch of first level spell slots,
but I don't, yeah,
I've got four first level spell slots.
So I established that I kind of ran away.
You did.
What's around me?
Are there ramparts?
Is there a tower that
I could have run to? Like, I just want to see if there's any other
options in this area. It's like a bandit
camp kind of vibe where it's like walls
made out of logs with sharpened tops
and, you know, a couple watchtowers on
either side of the horse. Yeah, I would say
there's probably a couple horses
tied up on the outside.
I could get on the horses and try to fucking rescue you
guys. I mean, we can't hear you right now,
so we don't know what you're doing.
We just think you...
Look, guys, Taylor abandoned us.
I think we might want to just play this one out
and we can maybe run away later.
Like, look, if I know anything about a part-time job,
you can kind of blow it off after a while, right?
Well, how about this?
Would I have to use my, like like real government name on my name tag
or could i use scary you are allowed to use your preferred name oh okay maybe it's like how do i be
of assistance then or whatever taylor's rummaging through like their bandit loot and you hear a
voice from the from the tents over there and he's like what's that what's it pay your lives did i find anything
in the tent that i just ran into roll our investigation come on come on come on come on
come on come on 13 plus 4 17 yeah you find it's like the size of an easy bake oven but it's like
a pizza oven and it doesn't require power and anything put in it for five minutes will be
cooked at you know 400 degrees so an air fryer yeah you So an air fryer.
Yeah, you have an air fryer that doesn't require a power source.
I mean, what's the job?
I mean, it seems like you just sit here and kill people.
Yes or no.
You know something about my dad's?
He said the same man twice.
That's like my dad and my uncle.
I got to figure out what's going on.
So you vote yes.
I guess I vote yes too.
I just found this pizza oven,
so I'll vote yes i guess i'm keeping
this oven though okay i mean yeah we're a group so let's work for this murderer i guess to kill
people we gotta change the system from with listen link we're all fucked up here i'd rather not die
all right yeah um hey that sounds like a great offer we'll work for you. What an opportunity. So he goes, good, good. So he
lifts his polo, and under his polo, you
can see his skin is just made out of a bunch
of different Papa John's, like,
aprons, and he just grabs one of them
and just rips it out.
Oh, no! And then he does that four more times,
and he tosses them at your
feet, and they're still wet, and he goes,
put them on.
Guys, we could just run like
just run right now into the crowd disappear in the crowd why do you think this line of people
is here do you think they want this no they know that wherever i seek them i will find them because
papa john's delivery range is extremely large i wave my apron to dry it out first you don't like
it uh no it's great.
Put it on then if you like it so much.
It's just a little wet.
It'll dry out on your body.
Put it on.
It'll dry out on your body?
That's because my body's special.
Okay, you're the boss.
Put it on.
It's just wet and gross.
It's not a parasite or anything.
We can like work our way up
until we're ready
and we're strong enough to leave.
I think Scary's right.
I think we have to keep this fight
for another day.
If you're like saving up for a concert,
right?
It's like the long game,
but then ultimately
you do get to go to the concert.
The concert this time is Datapalooza
because I'm going to figure out
what happened to my dad.
Also, just because we work for this motherfucker
doesn't mean we need to do what he says.
Yeah, so we're just going to have a quick huddle.
We're not unionizing.
No, we're not doing that.
No unionizing here.
You're part of a family at Papa John's
and you just trust the father of a family
to treat you like you should be treated.
So he puts his foot onto his throne and he goes,
and he kicks his throne a little bit forward and underneath it was a hidden staircase downward where you can immediately feel
a big gust of heat. And he goes this way and he gestures towards the staircase for your employee
orientation. Oh God, the patriarchy. I don't know what that has to do with anything. I'm just saying
this is where you get trained. It's a Papa John situation. Yeah. I just, I'm not calling you Papa.
I'm not calling anybody Papa. Okay. But I am. Whatever. Guys, I think we just saying this is where you get trained. Well, it's a Papa John situation. Yeah, I just, I'm not calling you Papa. I'm not calling anybody Papa.
Okay, but I am.
Whatever.
Guys, I think we just have to go along with this.
And when we heal up, okay, okay,
let's make a pact right here.
When we all get back to a full house.
We'll lose her for sure.
Norm begrudgingly puts on his apron and ties it.
So Hermie's back on his feet.
What's going on with Hermie?
Okay, so Hermie gets to his feet.
Half of his face is burned,
and he's looking around.
You see his demeanor change.
You can almost see his character shift in front of you.
His loping, weird, sort of dancey kind of Joker vibe is replaced with something that's a little bit more studious,
a little bit more angry,
and a little bit more random.
And he goes,
wow, wow, wow.
This could go one of two ways.
No.
He puts the apron on, and he just kind of squints.
The moment he puts the apron on is half the apron one color and the other half.
Yeah, the half just goes burned too.
And it just sort of matches his outfit.
So yeah, he's now wearing one side is a perfect Joker suit.
And the other side is a burned Joker suit that looks more Two-Face-esque.
And he goes, lead the way.
All right, guys, we're gonna learn about Larkin Sparrow
and we're gonna get the hell out of here, right?
Yeah, just go down there.
We'll take a short rest.
We'll get our spells back and we'll fucking be done.
We'll fucking win that.
All right, you head down the stairs
and you come across what looks to be a very large cafeteria
with a fuckload of those pizza guards
sitting around eating pizza and drinking...
Milk.
Pizza.
You know what? Milk.
Yes.
Just drinking a lot of milk.
Milk's the best with pizza.
Milk's the best with pizza.
As you head down the stairs,
you can see that there are a bunch of tubes
from the ceiling
that basically seem to originate
underneath where that jacuzzi was.
So we watch our fucking pussy wagon
just slowly...
Get melted above you.
Oh, no.
And fucking into a bunch of different parts.
You see all the possibilities
of the items that were in the vending machine
and the fucking ATM machine
that kills anybody that presses the button.
The puberty tree?
The puberty tree,
all that fucking melt.
Oh, the puberty tree's covered in pubes now?
Yeah.
Oh, God.
And you follow the tubes.
Oh, God.
The bottom of the pool's just hairy.
Oh, my God.
You follow the tubes with your eyes and you see that they lead to one end of the pool just hairy. Oh my god. You follow the tubes with your eyes and you see
that they lead to one end of the room
has a countertop that sort of spans
the width of the wall and behind it there's like
a kitchen and pizza ovens and people working
people at registers and stuff like that
and there's lines of these soldiers
lining up to get food from what looks to be
his army's sort of cafeteria.
And as you step down
he goes, alright, off, you look hungry.
You need to eat.
Go ahead.
Papa John gestures towards the line
leading up to the registers.
Everybody obviously having seen Papa John
immediately stands and salutes him.
And he goes, no, no, as you were,
continue to partake of our flesh.
And they go, thank you.
And they continue to eat pizza.
Do people working the registers look familiar to you?
Because they actually look like the same man, but twice.
And with huge smiles on their faces, Larkin Sparrow wearing Papa John's polos, see you step into line and they go,
Welcome to Papa John's, how may we serve you? away but is there something more to say you know that no one knows us better than ourselves
you should tell myself it'll be all right pretty lies that we sleep at night i know that no one
knows me better than myself and i know i'll get this right
