Hi, it's me, Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
In case you haven't heard, and I don't know how that's possible, you're obviously not seeing my Instagram stories, but I have a podcast.
I know, I know, I know. I didn't think there was enough podcasts, especially podcasts hosted by actors.
So here I am.
It's called Dinner's On Me, and it's actually pretty special to me.
It combines two things that I absolutely love, eating and connecting with people.
So in each episode, I take an old friend or a new friend out to a fabulous meal and as we break bread,
we dive into everything from imposter syndrome and mental health to being a new parent, navigating new relationships.
It's fun because you truly get to be a fly on the wall for some really intimate conversations.
So please pull up a chair, join us.
You can listen to Dinners on Me wherever you get your podcasts.
As the next season of Hello from the Magic Tavern approaches,
Chunt and I are considering how we may best serve his majesty,
King Arnie of Northeastia, during his reign.
But perhaps you should join our Patreon at patreon.com slash magic tavern
and let us know through the discord, one of the many perks of being a patron,
about what roles you believe we should play in this new administration.
But know that what air position I take,
I shall continue to fight the forces of evil, such as Drip Fang, the Necromancer.
Oh, who just happens to be our guest on the new,
episode of Offices and Bosses Season 5 coming out this very Thursday.
I'm playing Warhammer 40K, which is a really, like, a depressing battle game on my world that I
don't really know anything about.
But also, yes, I'm kind of named after that guy that allegedly ate people.
I wrote down a bunch of stuff of just some Warhammer 40K stuff written on this sheet because
I just, it says like, yeah, in the grim darkness of the future, there is only war.
Is that the thing that you're playing?
Yeah, that sounds exactly right.
Okay, yeah.
Well, I've got incredibly too much knowledge of this topic written on the back of this sheet.
So if any of that comes up, you know, just point at me, I guess, and I'll try to remember.
Apparently, there's a lot of videos on YouTube.
These are all nonsense words, but they're inscralled on the back of this scroll.
Right, we'll come back to you from Oahuahana.
In the meantime, bask in the glory that is Offices and Bosses Season 2.
This is a bonus episode, dropped very cleverly right in the middle of this season.
Play on.
Hello for the Magic Tavern.
A weekly podcast from The Magical Land of Foon.
I'm your host, Arne Neacamp.
If you're not familiar with a podcast, oh boy, I don't even know what to do.
but about three-ish years ago
I fell through a dimensional portal
behind a Burger King in Chicago
and the magical, fantastical land of food.
Luckily, I'm still getting a Wi-Fi signal
from the Burger King through the dimensional rift
and I use that to upload a podcast
I record every week here in the tavern
the Vermilion Minotaur, where we all are now,
in the town of Hogs' face,
in the land of foon.
The tavern is a little busier than usual
tonight,
which is odd because
it's game night in the tavern.
But before we get to the game of offices and bosses,
I have to bring out my co-host,
Yusid or the Wizard.
The simulator of magical delights,
the power of chaos, champion.
The elves no-me is fian-yallic.
The dwarves noby is Sonan and Hoekstankis.
And I am known in the northeast.
as Gassumanius may star.
Gassumanius.
And there may be other secret names.
Oh, beware.
Neer utter one of these names.
Lest you wish lizards
to eat your very corneas,
yea, they shall leave
the rest of the eyeball intact.
Focus in on the cornea
and then poop where the cornea was.
Why, though?
Well, I had to train them to do
something.
Oh, sure.
This is one of my secret names that's more
of a command to lizards.
Oh, I see.
Yusinor, it's good to see you.
Oh, it's good to see you, Arnold.
I don't think you've ever said that.
How wonderful.
Oh, what's a turn of events.
You know, I just, I'm feeling relaxed.
I'm excited for a game of offices and bosses.
Oh, yes, me too.
And I don't know.
Just seeing you come out here and just getting your
profile as you were
sidling up to the mic,
I just felt like I was looking at David Crosby.
Who is this? Who are you talking about?
He's a person on earth that I'm 80% sure I'm properly referencing.
Usenor, I'm excited to play offices and bosses.
For new listeners, who maybe we may have none of, ever again.
Understandable.
What is so appealing to you about playing offices and bosses?
Oh, let me tell you, for there is no greater escape, no greater joy than to thrust yourself so deeply into a character,
and to play it with such great fervor and excitement, I, that it courses through thine very fingers and through thine very toes.
I, with this great excitement that doth burn thy very blood and boil thee from the inside out,
what a great joy to be trapped in such a magical world as ours
and find solace in a boring dull world like yours
I don't know I feel like it's possible to enjoy playing a character too much
luckily I have no idea what you're talking about
and you sort of I'm so surprised because usually when we play offices and bosses
you you get all dressed up you cosplay as someone from Earth
you spend way too much money on a costume
entirely too much money
Why did you decide
just to go with your
regular wizard robes?
Well, I must admit to you
something bad happened to my
costume.
What happened?
Well, usually I have my
fedora and my suit
and my messenger bag.
And we have Metamore
who usually runs our games.
I shrank them all down
to the size of a pea.
You even shrop...
Shroth.
I didn't shrunk anyone.
I shrank them.
Did you even shrank that, like, block of wood
that you just occasionally, like, look at and go,
oh, no, more meetings.
That's right.
Even my favorite prop.
My eye block.
I shrunk it down.
Oh, and they're so tiny now.
I can't find them in mine house.
Although I'm sure Metamore is fine
and probably take care of all of my stuff.
You'll take care of it until I find him
and regrow him to full size.
Yeah, so Metamore isn't here today.
So we're going to do a slight break from a regular campaign and do a spin-off campaign.
But the exciting thing is that gives Chunt a chance to be office manager.
So ladies and gentlemen, I can hear the tavern having mixed emotions about that kind of power.
I've got to say, I've experienced a direct attack from the Dark Lord, and this makes me more nerve.
There is cause to be alarmed.
Yeah.
But please, my other co-host and tonight, the office manager, Chunt, the King of the Badgers.
Offices and bosses, baby.
Chunk, you are all business.
Yeah, yeah.
Usually you come out, you dance around a little bit, you scurry on your little badgey hands and feet.
Oh, I love it when you scurry.
Well, scurrying on my hands and feet is reserved for Maggi Tavi.
but this is offices and bosses
Oh and that reminds me
Should we have
Mundel the Grundle play the offices and bosses
theme song? Yes
We will in just a moment
But first, notice anything new?
Hmm
No
My eyes are up here
My four eyes are up here
Oh, you're wearing glasses
Yeah, I had someone
Forged me glasses
Because I wanted to be treated with respect
As an office manager, so just know that that's my expectation
I must say without even realizing it
As soon as you came out here, I thought you looked smarter.
Oh, thank you so much.
Well, okay, thank you.
And I've got to say, that's a clever explanation.
Oh, no, I lost all my contacts.
Let's go ahead and play the theme song to Offices and Bosses.
Yeah, Mundel the Grundo, please play the Offices and Bosses theme song.
Marketing manager, IT professional,
sales rep, and temp.
I am Office.
manager, your guide in the realm
of offices and bosses.
You know, I am glad that we caught that
audio and have preserved it for I fear
there is a slim chance I'll never get
Metamore back to full size.
Oh, did he get shrunk?
Oh, why do I say shrunk?
Oh, if I shrocked him,
he'd be dead.
I'd also very quickly like to say
if anyone is just listening to an audio version
of this later, the theme song,
Definitely has a visual component.
It's not just three people sitting
listening to a theme song.
It's one person, a wizard, and a shapeshifter.
Oh, yeah.
Speaking of, you two will obviously
be playing in the game,
and I also brought along two of my favorite guests
we've ever had,
and someone who I've killed
one of their family member,
I brought with me for the game tonight
the two great blue tigers,
Azure and Surillian.
Oh, wonderful.
Oh, such wonderful magical beasts!
Oh, such beauty and glory!
Near have I seen such magnificent majesty!
Oh, your great bluenesses!
Thank you for deigning to spend time with us for an evening.
You're welcome, Kring Prasby.
Yes, we are very happy to be here.
Thank you. Nice to see you, Chun.
Nice to see you, Chun.
Nice to see you.
We forgive you.
Oh.
Both of you?
We'll see.
We are very excited to engage in a fantastic game of offices and bosses.
And we're so excited to have you here Azure and Cyrillian, whichever one of you might be whichever one.
I am...
I am Saralian.
I am Azure.
And as you know, there were three of us, and Chunt killed our sister Sapphire, but we forgive you.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
And thank you for being here.
I wasn't sure you'd come, but I appreciate you being here.
and you don't have to sing.
We never have to sing.
Sometimes you have to sing.
No, we choose to sing.
So here's how it's going to go.
What we're going to do is start off,
and I'm going to let you know
that this office is in Boss's episodes
is going to be called 2.0
because it's going to be in our second season,
but it's a little bit of an offshoot.
So what we'll do is we're going to imagine
that the four of you are in a large office building.
You're in the lobby,
this building.
Oh, wonderful.
Mm-hmm.
It's a,
the building almost
scrapes the sky.
You might,
you might, um,
exclaim.
Oh, can you imagine
this thing?
Yeah, yeah, I can.
I really can.
Uh,
and what we're going to do
is we're going to start
with, uh,
U-Sdoor,
I assume we're going to be
playing John Sebastian.
Uh,
no.
I'll be playing
my long-time character,
John Bastion.
I'm a marketing
manager.
I'm 43 years old.
I'm wearing my bowler hat of colossal lunch
and I have a freeze spell
Oh, what's joy it is to play
Such a strange and wonderful character
Great, and Arnie
I think every time we play offices and bosses
We end up killing your character
Yeah, my characters don't survive very long
Oh, it's because you're bad at it
That's true
But I rolled up a new case
character for myself. No, I know it's so exciting for you guys, the escapism of real world stuff.
But, you know, growing up when I played role-playing games, I like to embody characters
and worlds that I always wanted to be a part of. So I would play role-playing games of sort of
movies and shows that I love. So I'm going to be playing the class Ghostbuster.
I'm going to be playing Dr. Egon Spangler.
Just a cool.
ghostbuster with this sort of
Bill Murray quality.
And just so I have the spelling
rights, that's the word ego with an
N on the end? Yes.
Great.
Well played.
Great.
And just for my sake and for
anyone else who might be lending their ears
over to our table, can you describe
what Egon Spangler is wearing
and maybe one or two items that he's
brought with him today to this building? So he's
wearing like a full jumpsuit
that's sort of gray
and he's wearing a backpack
that's got science inside of it
and it's got a hose attached
and on the other side of the hose
it shoots science out at ghosts
and then
I've got a science box
that sucks ghosts into them
and also probably
like a ghost meter where I can
science up where the ghosts are
this is the first earth thing you've described
that made any sense to me
just a warning
Arnie, it seems like a lot of your items
and even your proclivities lie in
busting of ghosts, and we are playing
offices and bosses.
Yeah. Okay, great, yeah. The choice is made.
The choice is made. Oh, well, I also
have a special bonus where
I get plus 23
on roles to control
gigantic statues.
Okay. I
highly doubt that would ever
come into play, but I'll write it down to humor
you. It seems like the thing
you do after you already did the
thing that was good and were out of good ideas.
Isn't that what we're doing now?
Let's go ahead and go to Azure.
Why don't you let us know what your character is, what their name is, what their
maybe office position is?
Yes, I picked the normal earth name of Beck's new app.
And I am playing the class of Tech Bro.
Good, good, good, good, good.
Do you want to give yourselves one or two items that might come in handy along
Yes, his items are a diverse stock portfolio.
Ooh, that's a good one.
Which I assume, I mean, Nini, maybe you can tell me.
Is it just like a big portfolio that he like carries around?
Oh, that you put criminals in, maybe put their head and arms into?
Yes, a stock portfolio of stocks.
Well, let me give you a sense of how much I really understand Earth stuff,
because for a second, I tried to talk into my mic stand.
Mike, mic stand?
I've never seen you do anything with the world.
word stand in it.
No played.
Oh, let me look at my character.
He's wearing a...
Okay, it says white, t-shirt, and jeans,
but both are more expensive than they should be,
but still made in China.
Great.
And, of course, China is the chimera nether regions.
Oh, yeah. Sure.
Let's go to Cyrillian.
How about your character?
Yes, I will be playing Winsome Winthrop,
and she is a investor.
All of her money comes from a trust fund.
She's 26 and says, yeah.
She's wearing a crop top and then several shawls.
No one knows how she can keep all the shawls on her small frame,
but somehow she manages.
She's also always drinking the end of a giant iced coffee.
Always the end.
Yeah.
Great.
And I do have a power, a modifier where I can contact Daddy.
Perfect, perfect.
And I'm guessing his name is Mr. Winthrop.
That's right, but she'll only refer to him as Daddy.
Great.
Perfect.
Okay.
So we've set the scene here.
Those are the four characters.
And what's going to happen is the four of you are in the line.
Great.
Perfect.
Okay.
So we've set the scene here.
Those are the four characters.
And what's going to happen is the four of you,
are in the lobby of a giant building.
Again, we mentioned that is called Sad Trap Enterprises.
It is called Sad Trapp Enterprises.
You are in the lobby.
John Bastion and Dr. Egon Spangler, you are sitting in two leathered chairs in the lobby on one side.
And on the other side of the lobby, we have Bex and Winsom, who are across the lobby in two other leather chairs.
We do know just from an email that we received from the company that Bex and Winsom come from a company called Looky-Loo,
It was a startup company that has merged with Sadraps Enterprises,
and that the two of you, John, and Dr. Egon, are free of lance.
You have no lances, so you are free of lance.
What if I need to joust someone?
That will not come up.
I just worry that being free of lance is going to be extra taxing.
Like painfully taxing.
So what's going to happen to start off?
These two sets are eyeing each other across the room,
and I'm going to give you about a minute or two
just to kind of size each other up,
maybe go up to one another,
and try and maybe undermine each other,
maybe try and have some sort of pissing contest verbally,
and just see what's what.
So I'll give you about two minutes starting now.
Bex, here's what I know.
Whoa, what's up?
We cannot move.
In fact, keep looking at the ceiling.
Yeah, Power Play. What's going on up here?
What's on the ceiling?
It's a good chandelier.
Beautiful chandelier.
I look at her and I don't know whether it's hot or cold outside.
John Sebastian.
Bastion.
We have to, you know, they're playing some power moves on us,
so we've got to do some power moves.
Let's only look at the floor.
Okay.
They're both hanging their heads in shame, I think.
We did it.
We did it.
Great.
Now we'll just shout.
Hey.
Hey.
What do you need?
another just seems like you might be working for the same company
I'd like to shake your hand
Oh can I roll to shake his hand
Yep
I roll as well and you should know that I have a plus 6 to
Way too hard of a handshake
Oh no
Great so I did have the local woodsmith
Forge some 20-sided dye
So I have those here
John Bastion you have rolled a five
For your handshake
And Bex you have rolled for your too hard handshake
a 17.
So as Bex grabs John's hand,
he kind of crunches
the knuckles and rubs them back and forth.
Yes, that's the word. I crunch them.
Ah, the goddesses.
Mine very hands are being crushed.
Looking forward to working with you, bro.
I, too, look forward to working with thee.
What do you do exactly?
I'm a marketing manager.
Oh, that's so sick.
That's so sick.
That's so sick.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's a lot of hard work.
But, you know, you just want to get the word out there about people's brands.
Got to, got to.
Can I roll for an obnoxious name drop?
Yep.
So you have rolled a 16.
Bill Gates has a brand.
Then he's my godfather.
How is Bill, by the way?
Oh, my gosh.
He's so sweet.
He's, like, doing Norm Corps, like, so hard.
And I'm like, Bill, get out of here.
Let's go on jet skis.
and he's like, later.
Great. Two minutes is up.
Oh, well, John, can I do some ghost busting?
Sorry to say no.
So the two minutes is up,
and what happens is a gentleman named Hunter,
who's behind a giant desk in the lobby,
approaches the four of you and says,
right this way. He puts you into a room of conferencing.
He sits you down, and he launches into the following spiel.
Hello, my name is Hunter.
I see we have Bex and Winsome from Looky Lou.
Is that correct, you?
Present.
We also have John...
We've been gathered by a hunter.
Never mind, keep going.
Worth it?
I mean...
Let's see if that was worth it.
Okay, it's an 18. That was worth it.
All right.
Well done, Nemia.
It turns out we all enjoyed that.
Most.
Sweet.
So, Egon and Nia.
John, of course, we've brought you here
to Sad Trapp Enterprises as freelancers
and because we are looking to start a new
project and the four of you we think
would work very well together.
Jackson Saddrap, of course,
the CEO of Sadrap Enterprise has requested
you for specifically, and I seem
to have lost my character voice.
You know, there's a Griffin who does this and he makes it look
so easy.
So, the four of you
are going to be interviewed one by one
by myself in a separate
room. When you enter the room, I'll call you by name. You have exactly 30 seconds that will be
timed. And I need each one of you to drop as many business buzzwords as possible. You don't
have to say full sentences. It doesn't have to be coherent. I just need you in 30 seconds to drop
as many business buzzwords as possible. Do we all understand each other? Yes, I understand.
Great. Hunter gestures towards John to join him in the room and the three of you are left
to your own devices. John, we will
We'll go ahead and start now.
Saturation, cross-pollination,
multi-platform,
synergy,
leveraging...
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Leveraging more saturation.
And your previous role?
What was your previous role?
My previous role was a marketing intern
and social media manager,
and I worked my way up to full marketing manager.
Okay, great.
And now I'm busy.
maximizing profits.
Biggest weakness?
Caring too much.
Time.
You see, this is something
I could never do on my world.
Hunter opens
the door, lets John back into
the conference room and gestures towards
Winsome to join him in the hot seat.
Winsome, you have 30 seconds
starting now.
Robust.
Integration.
Lateral thinking.
And, you know,
just like,
networking, sick, just backslaps.
Who's your biggest hero?
Myself in the future.
Outside the box.
Group think.
You know, no cubicles.
Time, great.
We'll leave room for one more biggest weakness?
Caffeine.
I see you were just finishing a cold brew.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Oh, wait, that was a full cold brew.
So Hunter opens the door, lets out Winsome.
Motion towards Bex to join him in the hot seat.
And Beck should have...
Chunt. Sorry.
Bex has an ability, make it all about me in tech support.
So if your character is of an older generation,
he can derail the conversation
and fix something technological in the room
that you were unable to install yourself.
My character... Hunter is 40.
All right. So roll on the chart.
Okay.
That'll be a four.
Okay, that looks like a modem set up.
Great. So you modem set up?
Sure.
Great. And do you want, along the way that you're setting up the modem,
do you want to launch into any buzzwords at all?
Yeah, absolutely.
But they can be modem-specific.
Absolutely.
Great. So what I'm doing here is to put in the Ethernet into,
yep, that's pretty much it.
Also, the cable plug.
And on the way of letting you back into the conference room,
he just goes, oh, P.S., what is your biggest weakness?
My legs are weak.
That's very...
Crap, I messed that one up.
I did badly there.
Now I have weak legs forever.
Great. And just so the four of you know,
your weaknesses will be sent in an inner office memorandum
to the rest of the company.
So those will be on display for the rest of the office.
Arnie, last but least, we have Dr. Egon.
He has 30 seconds to use as many buzzwords as possible,
Starting.
No.
All right.
Business buzzwords.
Hey, business.
Business to business.
Business casual.
Taking care of business.
Smoking is my business, and business is good.
Risky business.
And I take my glasses down when I say that.
Business.
And business time.
That song.
Also, I'm a ghostbuster.
Great. That was 45 seconds.
And just because you feel like Hunter maybe doesn't like you.
And before you go, he asks, what is your biggest weakness?
My biggest weakness is I tend to make friends with people who don't like me.
Great.
Noted.
Great.
So Hunter lets Egon back into the conference.
and he lets the four of you know that
Satrap Enterprises
brought the four of you in to be sort of a
think tank because they are looking to dip
their beak into the waters of
facial recognition software.
Okay? This is sort of
soft, malleable armor
that recognizes the owner's face
that they are looking to start
selling in their markets.
He lets you know that you are going to have
about two minutes between the four of you to come
up with a game plan for this
and then you are to deliver that game plan to
the very top floor of Sadrap Enterprises, where again the CEO Jackson Sadtrap resides.
He needs that in about half an hour, maybe 25 minutes.
And along the way, each floor of the office building, there will be a boss or a game
or some sort of challenge for you to defeat.
So, Arnie, almost like the movie, I think you said Enter the Dragon, I can't remember
the name of it, you have to work your way to the top of the building defeating everything along
the way.
Does that make sense?
What do we have to come up with the game plan to sell the facial?
Some sort of pitch or some sort of spin on facial recognition software.
I understand.
Which is, I'm sorry, Chunt, which is what?
To the best of my knowledge, it's sort of light, malleable leather or armor
that recognizes the face of the owner who wears it.
A soft wear with facial recognition.
That's it, that's it.
I understand.
Like if I wanted to wear a handsome leather cuff and I thought,
is this my handsome leather cuff or your leather cuff?
The leather cuff would recognize my face
and affix itself to my wrist.
Exactly, yep, and if the non-owner were to try and wear it,
it would go limp.
Yes, the world of business is fascinating.
Have we considered the slogan,
facial recognition software,
we came up with the name first?
I think here's what we need to do.
I think that this is going to really appeal to people
who get their armor stolen a lot,
so we need to instill them with a lot of fear.
But yeah, just like piggybacking off of that really quick.
I think like instead of fear, but I do like that idea.
And I feel like so we're talking maybe about like nights.
You know, like people who are just like getting their armor like scooped away.
Like maybe some nights.
So I like actually know some people who go to like some sick night parties.
And so like maybe I could just like connect us that way.
Yeah, like promoter at some sick night parties.
Yeah, like some sick night parties.
With some nights who are like too rich.
And then we could also have an app and also the cloud.
Yeah.
Like, what if we put, like, all of it in the cloud?
And then, like, we got some, like, really prominent nights to, like, wear it.
Oh, yeah.
I think putting in an app and in the cloud is really great, but we also need some grassroots word of mouth.
So, well, it will store it in, like, the cloud where it's safe where no one can get it.
And that way, no one can steal it from you, and then you take it out from the grassroots.
Are we playing this game correctly?
Chunt, I have a quick question.
I need a role for group work.
Okay.
From my experience, when I work in a group, I either end up doing 90% of the work or literally none of it.
Great.
The role is a 17.
Okay.
I choose to do none of it.
Chunt, I have a power of a seething eye roll.
Great.
I'd like to give one to Dr. Egan, and I'd like to roll for its strength.
Great.
I'm going to roll two dice, one for each eye.
Great.
Thank you.
Uh, left eye is a four, right eye is a 19.
Oh.
Winsome, what is going on with your face?
Are you having a stroke?
No, he knows. He knows. He knows.
I think I might have dated you in high school.
Oh, Chant, can I roll to say, back off, lady, I'm a scientist.
Okay.
Let's roll for that. That is a 17.
All right. Back off, lady. I'm a scientist.
Egan, Egan, we have to be careful here.
Her godfather is William.
who protects the gates.
And have you seen his upper body strength?
His legs suck, but his upper body strength is wild.
Honestly, I think you can roll with the leg thing.
Just like incorporate into Bex that he's like a crossfit guy who skip leg day.
Great.
So your two minutes is up.
You write down whatever plan of action you had betwixt the four of you or three of you.
I pretend that I don't have anything to write with.
Can't do it.
Great.
I'm going to roll to see if you just.
just shit your pants.
13. Great.
See, yeah, kind of. I can decide for myself.
Yeah.
Great.
So you write down whatever plan of action you have.
That goes into a manila envelope.
Okay. I was going to say I put it into my phone,
so I put my phone in the vanilla on the...
Perfect. That works as well.
You seal that up. And Hunter gestures
towards a staircase, and you start to make your way up to the first floor.
When you get to the first floor, it is a
open space area.
There are desks, but there's nobody seated there.
But in the center of the room is a chair with a giant case on it.
And there are two small children behind the case, one male, one female, from as best as you can tell.
And they say in unison, one of us only lies and one of us only tells the truth.
Which ruins that bit if they say it in unison.
I was going to say.
Do they both say it?
Does one of them say it?
They both say that, and then they say that starts now.
Wait, do they both say that starts now together?
No, just one of them says that.
Which one says that?
We'll call them Adam and Eve.
Adam says that.
Okay, so Adam's the one that tells the truth.
So, Adam's the one that tells the truth, bro.
Okay, as you say that, the two kids runaway crying.
Is that supposed to take longer?
And the case slowly opens up, the case sort of kind of creaking.
open, it's on a hinge, and
we can go from there, so the case is open.
I'd like to look inside the case.
Great, so John cranes his neck
into the case, and you see
it's chalkful of Mondays.
It's chock full of Mondays.
I want to... John, get back here.
I want to pull John back. I want to pull John back.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
John, those are Mondays. Those are, like,
the worst.
Yeah, John, there's nothing more dangerous
than a case of the Mondays.
Well, I've got one.
now. So you're going to take one of the Mondays?
Well, I was just going to take a whole case.
You're going to take a whole case. That's a significant negative penalty.
Just so you know, I'm going to roll to see how heavy the case is. That's a 20, so that's
going to be 20 pounds.
Can I investigate on this floor for a break room?
Yep, so we're going to roll investigation for a break room. That's an 11.
So you look around and you see there is sort of a, what looks to be a countertop with some
sort of coffee grounds on it, but beyond
that it's nondescript. No mini-fridge, no
fridge of any kind? There's no fridge at all.
Is there, can I
roll to see if there's an outlet?
Yes.
Eleven, so you see
there's an outlet, but one of the
slits is clogged.
Oh, all right.
I don't do anything then.
How are you feeling, John?
Honestly, this is probably fine.
He took all of the Monday for us.
Yeah.
And now, like, I don't know, onward maybe, right?
Yeah, I'm not too worried.
I'm immune to the Mondays.
My sheet says that I'm just working for the weekend.
I'm a...
I'm a...
Wait, are you working for the weekend or everybody's working for the weekend?
Oh, I'm sorry.
It says everybody's working for the weekend.
Okay.
Does that negate the case of Mondays?
No, because you are trying to get through the week,
and Monday is the first day of that week, so...
Fine, then I shall be...
She are still burdened with the weight of the case of Monday.
I shall be encumbered by the Mondays and take this hit for my party.
For John Bastion is a brave and gallant young marketing manager who shall overcome.
Great.
So we'll say that by bearing the load of countless Mondays,
we're going to age your character from 43 to 72.
All right.
So about Arnie's age.
No, you don't want to answer? Great.
So you see a staircase on the opposite side of the room, so you make your way up there.
This is a building that scrapes the sky?
Yes.
Can I do a roll to check for an elevator?
Okay.
That's a 17.
So you notice there are two large metal doors with a long line down the middle and a button with an arrow and quiver pointing upwards.
All right.
Dude, we don't have to take the stars.
We can take this all better.
Since you already walked up one flight of stairs
and we know that your weakness is tiny little weak legs.
Yes.
I'm going to roll the sea here.
That's an 18.
So your calves are burning.
Like there's a real heat coming emanating off of it.
I'd really like to take this elevator.
I mean, I blasted my calves in CrossFit yesterday.
And my blasted, I mean, walked into the CrossFit with them
and then ignored them entirely while I did sick push-ups for hours.
As you say the phrase blasted calves, 10 young cows walk into the office space.
They're on their hind legs and they look pissed.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
It's those cows I blasted.
Those calves.
They start to form a circle around you.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
I got this.
I got this.
I'd like to roll for distracting them by putting the flower crown filter on them.
That's a two
Oh darn
Yeah
I'd like to use one of my science boxes
To find out if they're ghost cows
Okay
That's an 8
So you try and hit them with science
And they shrug and they say
Nature
And they're slowly encroaching more and more
Are they?
Seems they are just moos
Not booze
Worth it
Are they
Can you get roll for worth it?
17 worth it
We loved it
We all loved it.
Now, are the cows blocking our escape towards the elevator or the presumed elevator?
They formed a circle around you.
They're on their hind legs.
Oh, they're around us.
Sorry, I misunderstood.
Very well, then.
I will use my freeze spell.
What do you want to do with that free spell?
I'm going to freeze all of them.
Oh, freeze spell.
That you said freeze spell.
That's a natural one.
So you try to freeze them, and what that has done is only hit their...
udders, and that has
frozen their milk in such a way that they can now
weaponize their milk, and they have started
to shoot it at you.
Really quick, I'd like to use a reaction
to roll a white privilege,
which allows me to kind of just like
get out of a situation that normally
I should not be able to get out of.
That's a 10.
So the cows kind of recognize that you have
white privilege, so maybe two or three of them
are purposely avoiding you, but this
other seven are coming at you. Sick.
I'm going to use my
free spell and just set them free.
Great.
Let's check for that.
That's a seven.
So you kind of put up your hand to one of them, maybe the leader, who seems like the leader.
How does he look like, how can I tell which one is the leader cow?
He's wearing a tie.
So you put your...
Obviously.
You put your hand on the front of his head and kind of rub it in a downward motion.
And his eyes kind of roll back in his head.
and he goes down on four legs and starts to shake a little bit.
The rest of the cows also go down on four legs,
so you haven't defeated them,
but they're all kind of immobilized on all four legs.
Guys, I just had an epiphany.
Cows in an office, we have to get to the far side of this room.
That's a 10, so it's kind of worth it?
I would like to think that for the people that it's worth it.
It's really worth it.
As you say far side,
a group of 10 chickens into the room
also a group of 10 bears
but a little sweet with this hour
a glass door appears
and it says push on it
I immediately start pulling
okay
and Arnie
you are a big guy so your strength
that's a 19 so your strength
rips the door off the hinges
and you're able to get to safety into what looks
like a stairwell
yes Nini well done
that's Arnie
so you can go upstairs
And there's also a set leading down.
Well, we should go up, I believe, yes?
Yeah, I think we should go up stars.
Someone carry me.
Um, not it.
I'll do it.
Great.
Get on my back.
I'm already carrying this case of the Mondays.
So that's an eight.
So we'll aid you another three years just for that weight.
So you're 75 at the moment.
So you make your way up to the third floor here.
And what you see is, again,
in an open office plan.
There's one desk,
and there is a middle-aged woman sitting at the desk.
She has a little placard that says Alice, that is her name.
And as she sees you coming up the stairs,
she starts to approach you.
And when she comes to the front of the group here,
she introduces herself and says to you,
hi, my name is Alice.
Would you like to see a portrait likeness of my kids?
I think we should say yes.
I shouldn't do this role.
My character is bad at dealing with people.
that don't want to talk about him.
I feel like there's something with like,
we have to ask Alice something.
So I guess maybe I think we need to ask her a few questions
about her family.
Yes, that's a good idea.
Yeah, go ask Alice.
And I have some ability to pretend that I care.
So, yeah, I'd like to roll to see how effective my fane.
Okay, that's a two.
Was there something specific you're going to ask her?
What her children's after-school curriculars were.
Great. She mishears that, and she hears you say, fuck you.
It's pretty garbled, because maybe your shawls wrapped around your mouth, and it came out a little garbled.
So she immediately is upset, and she goes back to her desk, which is blocking the stairway to the third floor, and sits with her arms folded and exclaims harrumph.
Wait, I think I have portraits of my own children that I show to her.
Okay, let's roll to see if that is effective.
That's a 12.
So she unfolds her arm and she only says, huh.
Not a full her rumpf, but just a huh.
And you have her attention.
Why were we going to ask Alice?
I don't know anything about Alice.
I didn't think Alice lived here anymore.
Okay, let's check here.
15, so it's worth it.
It's worth it.
Ask her about her children.
Ask her about our children.
Oh.
How is it having kids?
For you, for you, I mean.
It's great. It's great.
How is it for you?
Don't know I want to talk about.
Your child looks very, very young.
She looks just a few months old.
She's still a few months old.
This is a recent picture.
A recent likeness drawing?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't have a more updated portrait.
Oh, how long has it been since this picture?
Well, it's been about three years.
Just about three years?
Is there a more specific time frame?
Three years and, well, it really depends on when this comes out.
And what happened to you?
Tell me your story.
In about a minute and 15.
Okay.
Well, I'm a ghostbuster and I fell through a ghost portal behind a, oh God, is there a good, Wendy's.
Great. She says,
my daughter's name is Wendy.
Really? And I have two of them. They're both Wendy.
They're both Wendy.
I have Wendy's.
That's great.
Great.
She puts out her hands for perhaps a shake.
I'll have some fries.
Great. So she already had the shake.
So she hands you that. It's chocolate flavored.
And she reaches into her desk, and that's where the mini-freege is.
She's been hiding it, and she fries up some French fries at her desk.
And she gives us a student, she goes, will that be all?
Yeah.
And she asks you to pull around.
Okay.
Great.
And around her desk is the entrance to the new floor.
Can I see if there's anything else in the mini fridge?
Yeah, absolutely.
So you loot the mini fridge.
Is there anything specific you're looking for?
Lazzania.
It's an 18.
And also it's a Monday, so you do find a lasagna.
Here, here, John, eat this.
I'm really tired of looking at your old face.
Fine.
I'll eat the lasagna.
This is good. A lasagna counteracts a case of the Monday.
That's a 14.
So that takes 14 years off your life.
And you're a spry 61.
So you make your way into...
Oh, to be as young as 61 again.
So you make way into the stairwell.
You go up to, I assume, up to level four.
Is that correct?
Fourth, fourth four.
And this is the third stairwell.
we've gone up? Correct.
Okay, I'm now at
negative 7
physicality.
Quite too many stairs.
I have a question.
Is it an option to just keep
going up? Do we have to stop on every floor?
Do you want to roll for it?
Yeah.
That was a natural one.
Okay.
So you do have to stop at each floor.
Can you use your science
to fix his legs?
Well,
you're right there's a slim chance that your legs are haunted
all right I would like to use my
my ghost meter on his legs
I'm just saying if it was my world and I had a magic box
and a magic backpack and a magic wand I would fix his legs
but where in this stupid world
we have to use science things so use your science things
all right okay we're gonna roll here
that's a two
so you hit his legs with the science ray and that snaps him in
half.
Now both my legs are broken
and they've both got ghosts in him.
Wait.
Are both of his legs busted?
They are busted. But he feels
good.
So busted, for whatever reason, makes him
feel good. So you make
a way up to the fourth floor.
Whatever reason makes him feel good.
So you make a way up to the fourth floor.
And in the middle of the
fourth floor is not another case,
but it is a, what looks to be some
sort of automaton machine, some sort of
electronic machine, and at
the top of it, in four large
uppercase letters, it says, ATMI.
A.T.M.I.
Do you know what that stands for?
E. God.
Bless you.
Thank you.
So, John
has been blessed, so that will take...
It takes another 11
years off his life. Yes.
He's down to 50. He's down to 50.
Hashtag blessed, John.
Thank you.
Oh, wait, he's also been hashtag.
That's got to make him much, much younger.
Hashtag, that's a 15.
So he is 35, and the hashtag
35, and feeling alive, starts the trend.
This is why I work on such
spectacular character work
because, obviously,
Usador can't sneeze.
Oh, of course.
Can I do a tech role to see if I know what the machine stands for?
Okay.
That's an 11.
So you don't know for sure, but you don't know what the A stands for.
But you know that TMI stands for too much information.
And there seems to be a mouth-shaped sort of hole on the machine where you can...
I kiss it with my mouth.
That's a 14.
Right.
I kissed the machine.
Feverishly and passionately.
So out of a thin slot in the machine
starts to shoot out paper hearts
And this machine obviously has an affection for you
And it says in a robotic voice
It says
Tell me something about you
Something you would not tell anyone else
Only love me
If you tell me
Too much about yourself
I will open the door
Oh my gosh
Be careful
This is like a stage 5 clinger over here
you're obsessed with yourself
you're the perfect person for this challenge
I'm trying to think of the perfect secret of me
I'm
I don't know anything about applications
great
so that is a
ooh that's a three
but because you do know a lot about machines in general
we'll give you a plus 10 modifier so
the machine starts to weep
openly
and the tears are just flooding the
room ruining the carpet. This is a carpeted office.
And the tears, as they start to rise,
the tears touch your broken legs and they heal them.
And not only that, you get a good, nice calf going.
So your legs are restored through the power of this ATM.
And the door to the fifth floor opens up to the fifth floor
stairwell. There's still that elevator if you ever want to use that?
Just kidding. I totally do know about apps. I'm good at my job.
Does it remain open?
Can I tell it a secret?
If you like, you did solve the riddle, but you can...
As everyone else goes up the staircase, I linger behind somewhat,
and I turn to the machine, and I say,
marketing is a sham and I'm wasting my life.
The machine continues to cry tears,
and it also has an arm grab out of its side to pat you on the back.
And it says, they're there, hashtag 35 in Feeling Alive.
Can I tell a secret?
No, we're moving on.
Well, let me roll for it. Let me roll for it.
I can just journal it.
That's an 11.
So that's enough if you want to tell it
a one sentence secret, you can.
Okay, I go up and I'm like whispering into this thing's mouth?
That's how it works, yes.
Okay. I whisper,
I'm not sure I really believe in ghosts.
The machine stops crying and it just shuts off.
So the door to the fifth floor is open?
We go through it.
Great. So you go up the staircase.
This is to the sixth floor?
Sixth floor, I believe.
Sure.
So you're on the sixth floor, and there you see seated in a lotus position,
a man wearing a vest, a sleeveless vest, a nice bow tie.
He also has over that a bolo tie.
He's wearing a pork pie hat, and he himself has several shawls wrapped around him.
Yeah, sick.
Can I roll to see if I've been to Big Sur with him?
That's his 16.
So before you can even say anything,
did I mention his jeans were rolled up to his...
Okay.
Before you can even say anything,
he says,
Oh, have you seen the large gentleman,
the Big Sir?
I totally thought you were there
when we were by that Big Sir.
I'm Pierre. Pierre Smugly.
Oh my gosh, Pierre.
We were in those...
tubs, those hot tubs.
Oh yeah, in that cabana.
Yeah, sick.
Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh.
Don't you know Bill Gantz?
Yeah, he's my godfather.
Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah.
Wow. Yeah, he's a nice guy.
Wow. So, so good to see a guy. I didn't think I'd run into it. It's so weird.
That's so weird. Should we like get a pick real quick? Just because like,
yeah. No, yeah. Let's, here. Do you want me to take it or do you're going to do a selfie?
No, we're just going to do a selfie. Thank you, John, though.
Okay, sure. Thank you, John.
So they snap a quick pick, and they make.
the lips of a duck.
Didn't we also just do one with everybody?
You have the one with just the two of you, but just to feel more
inclusive, can we all get in on a selfie?
We'll roll for that, but remember in the lobby or in the conference room,
you did not work with the team. Do you remember that?
Oh, that's right. Okay, so that's going to be a negative 20 for you.
So that's a 4, so that's a negative 16.
So that's a no.
You know what?
So you go to take a picture.
with everyone and the floor
collapses and you fall through all
five floors
and lands and the other
three kind of comically peer down the hole
and you're on your back and you just go
eep
this place is a money pit
we only have a couple minutes left so already
what do you want to do you stand down there you want to
I'm on the fucking first floor I don't know
well you can have the elevator you can run up the stairs
does he have the option to just lay there
and die
I think we all have the option to
just lay there and die.
All right, I didn't want to do this because
I don't know if it's possible.
I'm going to shoot my Ghostbuster laser
into the floor and science my way
to the top of the building. I love that.
That's a nine.
So you do that and you get up
to like the third floor and then it just kind of
stalls out. I have an ability
called boost Wi-Fi signal that
can assist you in.
That's a 14, so that's enough to carry you up
to where the rest of the crew is.
Just got to get a new router, bro.
Great.
Well done.
Well done.
I'm so glad you're not dead.
I was about to be real scared.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've never seen a dead body.
I've never and I never will.
I never will.
I will not go to my own family's funeral.
No, I'm not going to go to that shit.
And I won't see my own dead body because I'm never going to die.
Pierre hears that because he's like very much into you and he hears you never seen a dead body.
He rolls a 17.
So he tells you a story about one time.
where he found a dead body.
And that's, in your mind's eyes,
enough to sort of satiate that need or want.
Oh my gosh.
And wait, go back to how you and your friends
got away from that train.
And he goes up next real close to you.
I mean, he's right up by you.
I mean, he's standing by you.
And he whispers into the ear the whole tale again.
All right, that would trigger my jealous
for no reasonability.
Okay.
Do you want to strike?
No, just automatic triggers.
Great.
Okay.
Great.
And the stairwell to the seventh floor is open.
Bye Pierre.
By Pierre.
By Pierre.
We didn't really have it.
We didn't really talk.
And Pierre smashed you in the face.
And he goes, Egon Zero, Pierre won.
And this is...
That's a natural 20. It's worth it.
Now we ascend the staircase to the final floor.
Yeah, so you're at the seventh floor.
There's a door.
On the door is a sign that says Jackson, Saddrapp, CEO of Saddrapp Enterprises.
There is a bell next to the door, and the four of you are in front of it.
Should we ring the bell?
I think so.
Egon.
Yeah, let's ring the bell.
Let me check for ghosts.
Yeah, we wouldn't want there to be a ghost in bell.
There's a three, so you don't find any ghosts.
Okay, no ghost safe. The bell's safe.
ring it. I think
you should ring the bell since you have
the most technical prowess.
Do I understand the technology behind
this bell?
That is a 17, so you absolutely do.
Yeah, sure. This is just a
classic fiber wire bell.
And I ring
the bell. Great. So you communicate
that education, you comment that, and
the door creaks open,
and in front of you is a
red velvet carpet
leading to a giant oak desk that must be 14, 15 feet high,
and behind that is the biggest chair you've ever seen.
It might as well still be a tree instead of hewn from wood.
And sitting in that chair is Jackson's sad trap,
with his palms pressed together,
staring intently down at the four of you.
He's looking down.
That's a power move.
No, looking up as a power move.
Looking down is showing shame.
That's how he knew we won.
Have we already won?
No.
You are about 20 feet from the desk, and he has not received anything in terms of the game plan for the facial recognition software.
Oh, right.
Sir Julian, I think you should approach the desk first and put the manila envelope on the desk,
and then if he asks us to follow up, I shall use my, I shall use my marketing prowess to then explain fully the grand plan we have laid before us.
I, in this magical plan, will surely most and certainly amaze him with the great and wondrous.
magical marketing nonsense.
As you guys are rambling,
he stands up from his desk,
climbs down, and comes to meet you.
He says, in the deepest voice you've heard,
he says,
might I ask you,
what starts with E,
ends with E,
and contains one letter?
Oh my gosh.
Oh.
I think I know this one.
I think it's E, guys.
I think it's, guys.
I know. Guys, I swear, I think it's the letter E.
Guys, I know, I know this one.
I know this. I am certain.
You have ten seconds to give me.
I'll hand him.
It doesn't have a sort of clicking together satisfying feeling to it, but it fits all the clues.
I hand him. Here is an envelope.
You hand him the manila envelope with the plans.
He receives it in his hand, opens it up, pulls out the phone, your phone, and laughs.
he kind of chuckles to himself and says, very good, very good.
Were you thinking just the letter E?
I was thinking just the other letter E,
and then I was also maybe thinking like
there was an episode of entourage or something, but...
Can I roll throw Comrade under the bus for a bonus later?
The answer is I, E-Y-E.
Well, the answer was envelope.
He already said it and handed me.
He already handed me an envelope,
and that's a three,
you're up to 38 now.
But I is also a word that is also...
God damn it.
Great.
Do you want to hand him an eye?
Yes, John Bastier removes his eye
and hands it to him.
Great.
Oh, that's stalled on a 19 here.
So he takes the eye and he's even more thrilled.
He could not be happier.
And he says, you have done well.
I knew this foursome, this team,
from Lucky Lou and these Lance Free
people would work well together to come up
with an idea that I could sell in today's
marketplace. Yeah, now you have an
eye and a phone.
Guess what our idea is?
Well,
I'll have you
tell me in a minute.
So, there is an I
in team?
There's no eye in team.
There's no, okay.
There is an eye
in innovation.
And Italy.
Jackson's sad trap
starts his smile
wider and wider and wider
he opens his mouth and devours
Usador's eye
he devours the phone
John Bastion's eye I'm sorry
he devours both
and continues his mouth continues
to smile and smile
until it almost reaches to his
hair line
just at that moment all the lights
in the office go out
and you feel a coldness
you feel a bit of a chill in the air
there's like a flop sound
from where Jackson's
Jackson was. And as the faintest of light can be seen maybe from the curtains opening
slightly from the wind rushing around, you can see it's just his clothes and a pile on the floor.
Guys, this is a pervert.
I think he might be some sort of...
Ghost?
What?
What?
A...
Ghost?
You do see, as you come through the realization of what your eyes are seeing, you do,
You realize Jackson is floating towards the top of the ceiling.
He no longer looks like Jackson's hat trap.
He looks like a little green blob with folds, giant teeth and food smeared all over his face.
I know what we should do.
I ask him to go to lunch using my bowler hats of colossal lunch.
He shakes his head and continues to smile at you.
Damn, I am all out of ideas.
I would like to use my power of calling Daddy.
Great.
So you call Daddy.
That is a 12.
So you get enough reception to call him.
You have 10 seconds to relay a message to him.
Daddy.
No.
And the ghost of Jackson's Sadraps down and eats that phone as well.
I have an ability that is too many phones.
What is that ability?
Roll, and that's how many phones I have.
That's an 11, so you have 11 phones.
he swoops down to eat all 11
and you can tell he's gaining strength
and as he gains strength
he thrust his arms out to
the side of his office
and you see now for the first time that there was a
a giant suit of armor
a giant almost like statue
standing there in the office
Oh my gosh, it's a hot night
guys I think I can do something
for once
I'm gonna use some of my science
I'm gonna control the suit of armor
with, I don't know, the magic of New York.
So that is a six or nine.
That's a six.
That wasn't a joke.
I couldn't tell.
Look, it's a 69.
No, I grew up.
That was a six, but we add 23, because he had plus 23 to controlling giant statues.
And that will be a 29.
Guys, we have to bust this ghost.
This CEO brought us into his office, took off his clothes, and tried to slime us.
He is out of touch with the current climate.
As you say that, it seems like the giant suit of armor, the statue,
goes to another area of the top floor that says HR
and brings in HR person into the room.
We'd like to register a complaint.
Great.
The gentleman from HR, the lights go off,
the gentleman from HR is no longer standing in front of you.
You just see a pile of his clothes.
Oh, no.
He has joined Jackson, the ghost of Jackson on the ceiling.
We've got to unionize.
And we have one minute left.
One minute left.
Okay, I throw one of my science traps.
Okay, you throw your science trap and it plops on the floor.
Yeah, I got to catch these predators.
I'm just free associating at this point.
Great.
So the trap is directly underneath them.
Okay, and I think I, like, kick a kick thing?
Great, you go up and kick the trap and it hits the wall.
Okay.
There is a cord with a pump at the end where if you step on it, the trap would open.
No, I don't think that's it.
I step on it. I step on it.
Great. You step on the trap. It is up against the wall, so you'll be rolling a disadvantage.
So I'll roll two die here. That's a 13 and a 14.
The 13 is enough to grab the HR ghost at an angle.
Sucks that HR guy into the trap.
Quick, use your wand to pull the other one into the trap.
Oh, yeah. I point my laser, my science gun at the other one, and I shoot.
Great. That is a 13.
it does hit him and he starts to get
pulled in but as he's pulled
in you're also kind of pulled towards him
to where you almost get at a bit of a stalemate
and it seems like you need something
to pull you backwards
I'd like to roll for
hesitant physical contact
that's a two
so you go up to try and help pull him backwards
you keep doing like a
wrap motion but you never... I'm sorry
I just like I don't
I don't like touching
I'd like to roll
for overcompensating with the muscles in your arms?
That's a 15.
Get over here, bro.
Ain't no thing.
I'd like to roll to give them a sip of my cold brew
to give them a burst of caffeine power.
That's a 16. So they each take a sip,
and they are energized, their pupils dilate,
they are really caffeinated,
and Bex's muscles are just bursting out of his shirt.
All right, I'd like to flex on this ghost.
Great.
Uh, that's a 19.
So you, you start, you start flexing.
So, ghost, welcome to the Bowenero show.
I don't have tickets.
Typical Monday.
Uh, he is, he is zapped into the trap.
The trap doors are still open.
Oh, I use, I try to swing my proton pump around so that, uh, the ghost goes into the...
You're what?
I step on a pedal again.
Great, so he was already inside the trap.
You step on the pedal that closes that.
There's a bit of,
smoke rising from the
trap. As Arnie, I'm sorry, as Egon
picks it up, I'm going to give you a...
Wait, there's smoke? There's a bit of smoke.
I vaped a smoke. Great. That's a 16, so Bex is blazed.
And Arne, as you pick up the trap, since you laid it,
I'm going to let you roll at advantage to say
something pithy or funny, some sort of catchphrase after you
trap the two ghosts. Is that a roll for that?
That's a 13. I say,
fell into your own trap. And by you...
Your own trap, I mean my trap.
You trapped.
Oh, wait, wait, wait. Also, I say, I ain't afraid of no ghosts.
Took long enough.
Yep.
And winsome, I'm going to give you a chance with advantage that is a 19.
If you want to exclaim, you can exclaim two letters, if you like.
A.F.
Great. I was thinking, yeah, but A.F works as well.
Yeah.
So the four of you have defeated Jackson.
Sadrapp, you take
on the floor with his clothes
is the phone. It has
dropped through him. You still have the plans for
the iPhone and you
take those and sell that. The four of you
start some sort of corporation. Maybe a name
for that corporation?
Oh, the name of the corporation.
Well, I've always wanted to start
something called Bastion Industries, but
if it's all four of us, we should use all
of our names, right? Yeah.
Yeah, win, bass,
bet, gone.
When bath begone.
When best begone.
When best begone.
Should we do a roll to see if that website's already been taken?
Because like literally everything has been taken.
That's a 16, so it is not taken.
Okay.
And that is the end of offices and bosses.
Yes.
Very fun.
Once again.
Use of ours victorious.
Nini, how does anyone get anything done in an earth office
when there's always cows and chickens coming in?
I don't know.
I don't know how any...
I mean, how do you guys get anything done in a magical land?
Threats.
Threats on magic.
And turning back time.
That's right.
You guys have time powers.
We could have cheated.
Yes.
But where's the sport in that?
I mean, we will certainly go back in time and play this again and again and again.
How do you think I got that riddle about which one tells the truth so fast?
This is like the sixth time we've got.
done this.
Oh.
I'm still getting
the hang of it, to be fair.
Arnie, I got to say, I just want to apologize.
I thought you were foolish to be a
Ghostbuster, but it actually came in handy.
Yeah, it did. It really
did. Again, I want to apologize if you...
Yeah, I accept.
Oh, can I do one more thing in the game?
Yeah, of course. I stab
Egon Spingler in the heart.
Great.
I'm going to roll all five dice, and we'll take the lowest one.
Lowest one is a six.
so Egon does die
but before he dies he gets to say one
one thing
Oh
He's dead
Trapped
Victorious
