Starting point is 00:00:04 I don't know how much That was very cute I don't know how to say this Five of you stand in the ruins of Xerxes after Wigor's homunculus seemingly opened the door of truth and
Starting point is 00:00:52 ascended to some higher being after being fully freed of the mortal wickedness that he had removed from himself the cacophony the discord from his heart that he split off into four separate entities of thrill, progress, instinct, and entropy.
Starting point is 00:01:18 As you don't know how else to describe this as if the gateway to heaven itself had opened and the homunculus turned into a being of pure starlight exit through the door and left you behind. There's a bit moment of reverberation from this room as his voice booms and echoes all around you.
Starting point is 00:01:50 As the glowing lines and starlight eventually twinkles out and dissipates. And suddenly you see the lines as they fade, you hear the As the stone of Xerxes now transported to cacophony have shut once again, and you're in that ruined throne room, palace, whatever horrid chamber you're in. What do you all do?
Starting point is 00:02:23 My leg is still mangled. I'll make sure to crutch that I found. So we're in the ruins and the door of truth has sealed in front of us? It's closed back up. And he's on the other side. Yeah. and the, the, he's got, he's gone agatha. The cacophonous, the cacophonous, uh, beings are gone.
Starting point is 00:02:43 They're dead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're dead in all the various corners. It was not obvious which way we came in because the door closed behind us and it was almost like the door disappeared, correct? So we didn't need to find our way back out to get to the Y-Gor helicopter. Uh, that's what you would presume. Yeah. Uh, I have very few hit points left. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:03:01 I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna have Brumley. I'm gonna basically, crunching one a hand and like arm on Brumley on the other. Ah! Oh my God. God, what, who, who was that? Ah, huh? Wasn't that, the monoculus that we met at the equivalent of the rainforests cafe? Did I can't remember the name of him? He looked similarly handsome, yes.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Yes. Where, where's the door? We gotta get out of you? Oh, say, I've never seen anything like that, not in any of the ancient texts. Nothing at all the door opened and he ascended. He just waltzed through some star door. It was the craziest I've ever seen in my life. Uh,
Starting point is 00:03:38 Schotticleer, please help us. You're our only home to help us. Oh, no, so no. This is what? Slaying Vagos, you should know all about Agathos. Well, I'll say, I say, what the heck makes you need that? I just motion to your whole of you. Oh, my all of me. And special hero of house shot to clear, please, my leg is a twisted, mingled mess.
Starting point is 00:04:13 We have to get back to the Wigelocopter. Well, it starts with farming my way out of here. All the doors are closed and they've disappeared, except for the wonder Agathos, the homunculus walked through after consuming all the souls of sexies, and ascend in after we've killed the tones of cacophony. Very unexpected. Very unexpected indeed. Are you suggesting that we follow the homunculus through the door of truth into the heavens of Agathos?
Starting point is 00:04:40 Well, I'm suggesting that we can't stay here, Bucca. We're in cacophony. What's he doing up there, I wonder? Beyond the stars. It's probably incomprehensible. There's probably no way for us to know when. he could possibly be doing. Did we help him
Starting point is 00:04:56 by killing the manifestations of his mortal sin? Almost certainly, yes, yes, yes, yes, we did. We almost played directly into his hands, almost guaranteed. I think that's what happened, yeah. Wait, Bitsy, don't you know
Starting point is 00:05:09 all about like dark secrets and ruins and rituals and stuff, and we're in like these ruins and there's obelisks and isn't this kind of like your whole thing? Yeah, it's my thing. I know all about this. I know exactly what's going on.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Oh, then maybe you should help us. Did anyone remember their checkpoint? Oh, God. Well, it has to be on the same plate of existence. I don't really think it would work based on where we are. I was saving our Digibones. I think there was a new update coming out from that new game. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Oh, God. I'm going to, like, hobble over to where I think the door that we came in. I'm not going near the door, truth. You couldn't pay. Not a fucking chance. I'm gonna try to find the door. Like, and just see if there's a way to get back to the wire.
Starting point is 00:06:03 It's right over there. Ha! Ah! I was not so senseless, I didn't even see the door! I'm gonna hobble over with my- Oh, fuck, a great job! It's right over there! And when I get close enough, I'm gonna push the crutch
Starting point is 00:06:17 at the door to see if I can open it up with the crutch. You push it open and you hear the, you hear the howling wind, the hot scorching hell, Fire, a carcophony. As you see, the Y-Wiore Kompter is landed. It's a little roughed up. As you see right there. Wait, can we just leave?
Starting point is 00:06:42 Are we allowed to do that? You hear a... You hear a sudden beeping. You hear... As whichever one of you is holding like the payment device is getting a phone call. That's me.
Starting point is 00:07:04 I reach into my coat pocket. I pull out the payment device. It shows Wigor's face going. I shake my head, I push the button. Booker T. Raccoon here. Ah, yes. Booker, you're alive. Yes, Wigar.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Ah, your soul is intact. We are all alive. We've all managed to survive the delivery, Wigour. Ah, that is very suspicious indeed. Very suspicious. Well, somebody says suspicious, and it wasn't me while I go. The strange insolium devices that I implanted in you while you were sleeping didn't seem to go off. Insulium devices.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Ah, yes, yes. Is he explaining the big misunderstanding of why we were sent and delivered like we were the ones that were delivered? I'm going to question. Would you like to describe what an insolium device is? Ah, yes, an insolium device. Yes, if any beings of cacophony, it would attempt to rip you of your souls and gain ultimate power. It would work for a time. And then in that case, if they were the splitting off of the mortal wickedness of an humunculus, they'd be able to turn on their father and kill him dead and stop him before he could open the door of truth.
Starting point is 00:08:17 And then you'd be whipped back into your bodies, ensuring that there's great safety to not just yourselves and also all of Agathos and the gods. So just so I understand why I go to put it to re-synthesize. this, you hoped that the beings of cacophony were to rip our mortal souls from our body, use them to strike down
Starting point is 00:08:42 that dang old homunculus before he opened the door to truth and the heavens above and the stars beyond. Ah, yes, yes. So hopefully you just haven't arrived yet. Bad news, wide one. Oh dear. We kicked the shit out of those
Starting point is 00:08:59 beings of cacophony. They're dead. Yeah, we fucked up. up. Oh, to shreds, you say. You sent us to be ripped to shreds. Yes, I said. And you're planned in work because we killed them. Oh, dear. Can you check? Are you sure they're, are you certain they're dead? They're feeds. I look around. Yes, yes, I'm very sure. I am extremely sure, Wigor. They're all dead. We saw the homunculus. He opened up the door to truth and he walked right through it. And now we're stuck here. Oh, dear. Oh, this isn't good.
Starting point is 00:09:35 This is not good. Do you want to explain why you were going to send us to get our souls ripped from our bodies? Oh, well, I mean, I was paying quite a hefty son by those discordant fiends. We've been loyal employees for years. And it was finally going to take that dangle hummuscus. You would have been fine. You all have this suppository. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:10:01 It was a suppository? Wait, wait, wait. He allegedly employed. plants and suppositories in us while we were sleeping. The ensulment devices. Our souls are supposed to be ripped from our bodies to be used by the cacophonous. Oh, they happened to me, didn't it?
Starting point is 00:10:15 Did that happen at one time, or no? Did he? I don't remember. I got my brain juggled pretty good. Mr. Weigor, what is it like to have your soul ripped from your body and then use to then slay kind of your father, but not really? Oh, who's that?
Starting point is 00:10:31 Frankly. He's the only one that sounds like that. Puddly. Grubly. Oh, yes, what was the question again? Oh, would we have known, like, what would it feel like if our soul was ripped from our body and used in a grand fight against your creator
Starting point is 00:10:49 and father? Oh, do you think that's a possibility? Well, I don't know, I'll kind of turn into a clown for like a little bit. That wasn't the same thing. You would have known. Oh, oh, okay. Everyone knows you ripping a soul out of someone's ass, so you would have felt it.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Oh, never mind. bitch, you just answered my question. Thank you. Also, don't think... Oh, no, Pugsley. Yo, that isn't it at all. You would have known it. It's like ripping your soul out of your ass. It's quite a little later.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Oh, Bixie, you would know. Speaking of... Mr. Wygoy says that I would have known it. Why is this so much stuff going in and out of her ass? That's my point. Don't think that we're just going to gloss over the suppository thing, Wiggo. There are some cultures that say the butt hole is the gateway to the soul.
Starting point is 00:11:30 So it's really like a butt soul. Listen, my go. A butt soul. Your plan didn't work. We're alive. And when I see you, Oh, baby, we're going to bring down a world a hurt on your ass. Ah, yes, you should return to the evil layer at once.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I believe, uh, I believe Hazel was finally done with the facts that I asked her to do so long ago. Oh. Wait, I guess I can't hear it aside, but, wait, does that mean that, you know, that... He's on speaker. Oh, he's on speaker. Oh, he's on speaker. Oh. Wait, so should we go back to the layer or should we... We got it.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Mr. Weingold. He just sent us to a death and we're finding out he's putting mystery suppositories in our but holes when we're sleeping, so we should definitely go rescue Hazel from this nightmare abomination. I said you knew he was putting in the sole suppositories in our but holes? I mean, I wasn't there, but... It was only of suppositories. Everyone has them. What? I thought like... It was in the contract that you signed when you accepted your job your employment and see your cool experience. He didn't read the contract?
Starting point is 00:12:31 What? Nobody reads contracts. He was in the terms in certain. Terms and services. Oh, I say the terms and services. Nobody reads those. I thought like only Peggy's clients had to do that and they had to pay a lot of notes to make that happen. Ah, she is crafty, isn't she? Always read the terms and conditions. I'm about eliotic secrets. I'm about cryptic knowledge. Where do you think they keep that statement? Oh, in the contracts? Oh, I was going to say somewhere very different. The cryptic knowledge is stored in the coal.
Starting point is 00:13:07 That's right. I'm afraid you'll have to come back here right away. We need to get you to Agathos. I say, I say to Agathos, do you have a plan to deal with the homunculus? Ascended beyond the spous? Do you understand what's happened? You all have unleashed humunculus
Starting point is 00:13:26 that may or may not have been created by a mad scientist into Agathos. And he seeks to devour the gods and become a perfect being. Do you know how many fines I'll get from the interstellar representatives of stealing if that gets discovered?
Starting point is 00:13:45 What? So is that our next job then? We're going to do work for this guy who's putting suppositories in our butts and literally just took money from these beings of cacophony to consume our souls? Yeah, but I mean it doesn't sound like a good thing to let
Starting point is 00:14:01 the homunculus ascend to agonautilus ascend to Agatha who should kill all the gods. No, no, we should definitely do something about that, potentially marry the guy. I suppose a byproduct of that would be all of the deep from the abyssal void breaking through the berry of the stars
Starting point is 00:14:17 once they are twinkled out of existence and all of the galaxy does get annihilated. I suppose that would be a bit of a side effect, I suppose. That would throw a wrench in my only frogs. It doesn't matter. It's in our contract. We have to
Starting point is 00:14:32 do it. All right. Look, We're coming back. You better have a plan to help us deal with this amoncular situation and then we're going to have a duck. Oh, a talk. Oh, you should tell me out how I'm doing. I'm going to make you sweat it out for hours,
Starting point is 00:14:49 maybe even days while we travel back to your stupid offices. Yeah, all we're going to say is we're not happy with you right now, Wigua. Wait, did you tell him like way in advance just to make him freak out for like a long period of time? I cover the Yes, absolutely I did.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Oh, that's so cruel. It's my step one and my ten-step plan for ruining him. Who do that? Well, we also are on a clock here. We're running out of time. Not only are the gods at risk of being destroyed and consumed, but also my favorite slutty V-tuber has a very sexy stream tonight on OnlyFrogs. Oh, shit, I forgot to cancel my stream tonight on OnlyFrogs.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Anyways. We're getting on the copter. Now that you've been to hell, there's only one place to go. You must go to heaven to save the gods. You hear the click on the receiver as the call hangs up. You have a plan, at least the semblance of a plan. And it's up to you if you want to go back. Look, I have thoughts about this whole thing. But we got to deal with this. Tumonculus first because, you know, it's stuff about the heavens and the gates holding back the void. I don't really know much about it, but it sounds bad.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Yeah, I have a phobia about the galaxy being swallowed body, official void, and the horrible fishy creatures from the deep. Right. And if we can't stop that, then we can't torture and murder Wigl or after the fact either. I mean, and honestly, it was going to fuel my narcissism if all of the sims are killed. Exactly right. So I think we go back. We pretend like nothing is wrong. We get Weigour's plan and save the heavens and the universe itself.
Starting point is 00:16:41 And the gods. And then we shoot Wygore in the face. Whoa. Why don't we shoot Mr. Weigour in the face? He sent us here to die, probably. I'll say he's kind of behind all of this. We've been loyal employees for years. We've done nothing but help.
Starting point is 00:16:55 That selfish bastard. Right. And on top of all of that, do you have any idea how rude it is to remove someone's butt plug to give him a suppository? Jesus Christ. Is that all that? Sorry, I just pictured it. I mean, it sounds like when he was saying that
Starting point is 00:17:11 we would have been okay because of the suppositories. I don't trust him anymore. He's ruined my trust. You never know what someone puts in one of those. Grumly, he developed a homunculus. He put it in the flask on him to shatter its bondings, consume all the souls of Xerxes, shed its tones of discord,
Starting point is 00:17:29 and descend beyond Hagerthos. It's his dark machinations, they put us in this position. He's too powerful. He can't be allowed. continue but honestly you can't trust someone that doesn't pay their taxes can we poison him so he dies a really violent shitting death before we shoot him in the face perfect let's not working on that too okay i'll say why would you shoot a man before
Starting point is 00:17:51 poisoning him and throw him out of him i would never i want him to suffer okay yeah so we're gonna poison him shoot him in the face and then throw him out of the wigel copter absolutely why not i don't know i just it feels like cold-blooded murder if he never to actually murder us and keep our souls firmly within our colones if that is where they're stolen. That is where they start before we've been saying this whole time. Do you think it's possible the suppository was inserted to lock our souls into our colon? No, they were there to make sure that there was an anchor point, just like our checkpoints that we can leave it there anywhere where we need to, whenever we need to get back.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Oh, is that why? When our souls were torn out of our assholes, they would have crammed back in and do the same. What? Who says that? And is that why regular annual colonoscopies starting at the age of 25 are so important and regular in a setting? It's to keep your soul anchored into your co-vice. So what happens if you get a fecal transplant? Oh, no, but then doesn't your soul swap with whoever you transplant?
Starting point is 00:18:56 Most of our organs do more than one thing. I don't know about that. I push the door open with my grudge I begin to hobble towards the Wyvercopter as we discuss our plans to save the world and then murder Wyagler. Oh, well, that all sounds terrible and horrible. I'll trust the guys in hand now.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I'm gonna go back and get John called. Wait, no, I can't stay for this. It's just, no. Why? Where are you going to go? I have to go. You literally like the hero of Agatha so you're running away.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I appreciate you saying that. There's only one way out of here. Well, you know, their doors are always... Yes, Antoine sucks. We need you. He doesn't do anything. Yeah. I could see it.
Starting point is 00:19:40 He's a coward. He keeps talking about numbers and shit? I'll say yes. And he destroys the bathroom on a regular basis. He always used to go to the brunch. I was like, you've got spicy food in the office. Every time we try to come to a conclusion of where we're all going to eat as a group, he always just has to pick something terrible.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Wait. A second. A second. Hmm Did John Clod go? I say I think he dove behind Over there So if I go back over there he's going to be behind that
Starting point is 00:20:11 Maybe but I don't know how you can get over there How I belong on your crutch I'm trying to hopper He's going to walk around No, come a bugger, stay over here Anstit's true hero of how Sean to click You remind me mechanically what I should do To perceive this
Starting point is 00:20:26 I'll say I'll say You may attempt an inside check in the detail. DC is 20. Let me... Well, no, I think it's... Hold on, we get an inside. Yeah, there's an mechanic for it.
Starting point is 00:20:41 The DC's 20. He's gonna blow that in the water. The thing is, normally this might be bad, but I'm on the case with my detective background. And I'm not gonna use that because this is very funny. I get a seven. I say anyway, as you all know, Jean-Claude and I are two totally different people.
Starting point is 00:21:10 No relation. We know. Please stay! I can't! You know the guys are literally saying that John Claude sucks. I say, I know this seems bad. I know times are dark. Are you being?
Starting point is 00:21:23 What do you have to... They're different people. But if I can, I'll meet you up there, because what you guys are dealing with seems pretty bad. But I got a full calendar of evil to slay. So, but I'll send John Claude back to the afternoon. There are probably lots of Vagg here in the Roos of Dixies. Oh, yeah, absolutely right. In fact, there was one here that we fought in a total diphton.
Starting point is 00:21:52 It got me all worked up to slay of the Vogue. So, and anyway, Jean-Claude is pretty cool, and I think you should give him a chance. And, you know, I think he picks really fun places to eat. We're not going to. You see that where you know Jean-Claude to be. It's behind the large statue. that's basically shaped exactly like you are right now, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Oh, well, bye, everybody. I said, bye, and sexual hero, how shouts are great. Tell John Klein to get his IPS checked out. He doesn't listen to us. I jump behind the statue and then you see a blinding flash of light that erupts from, that pours out from all, you blinding as you look at the statue. And as you dive behind them,
Starting point is 00:22:34 you expect to shrink back. And you almost twinkle with starlight. and you're still almost impossibly yoked like you are a GMO chicken to maybe turn into attendees. A GMO chicken. I'll say, I'll say.
Starting point is 00:22:52 That's so heavy your legs braced. I only have 24 hours left in this form. It seems as if perhaps being exposed to the realm of Agathos itself has in the light of the door of truth. has been, has interacted with the Vargslayer.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Do I get the sense that I'll maintain my form, at least for the foreseeable future? Yeah, I would say you could actually make, make an insight check at advantage. Religion, either one. Religion, it's a much better idea. Religion or, insight was a pretty good, oh, never mind, religion's a better idea.
Starting point is 00:23:32 You're right, don't doubt yourself. I think he says to us. I should have trusted my instincts. 15. Yeah, you get a sense that you can maintain this because you would just surge anyway when it was mechanically relevant. So you get a sense at the very least until you have a new divine quest to slay the homunculus and you will not be known just as the Varg Slater. You might be known as the godslayer.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Put in a cool way. That's the coolest fucking thing I've ever imagined. I step back out from behind the statue. I say, I say, forget all that other stuff I said. I said. It's me once more. Moments ago, as this revelation was happening behind the, behind the stone, Biddy would have been like, oh, he's going to come back, John Claude.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I miss that other guy. If he stuck around, I would. And then I was just fucking getting just constant. Until he couldn't. possibly take any more. As I was saying, I'll say, I'm saying, uh, I believe that we're on a mission, uh, a call from the heavens. And I checked in with, uh, anyway, the other vogues are dead or whatever.
Starting point is 00:24:59 So let's get on this wild go to Agatha. Just sticking around. I'll say, I'll say I'm sticking around. Oh, thank the gods. Exactly right. Uh, okay. Wait, so what do we do about other Jean-Claude? Well, yeah, we should probably go get him.
Starting point is 00:25:15 I see, don't worry about him. What does he mean? I checked in on him. I don't think he's very. He doesn't want to leave right now. He did? I lost it. Listen, we don't like the guy very much, but he's still a couple of them.
Starting point is 00:25:27 No, Booker, you don't understand, Booker. You don't understand, Booker. This is a leave. This is a leave. This is a leave. We don't understand. No, that's a different. That's a thing.
Starting point is 00:25:38 That's the military, Booker, all right? Co-workers you can leave behind. That's a very noble of you. Well, hey, okay, we'll come back. for him, all right? Are you sure he's alive? Oh, he's alive. Can we just check to make sure he's not? No, you wouldn't know what you're looking at. You couldn't even open the door.
Starting point is 00:25:52 I think if you had told us he was dead, that would have been better. We wouldn't have even thought. I'll say, Booker. But now you're saying he's alive. Remember when you kick the door to the fax machine and broke your leg? Oh, very much. I say, I wasn't left for that.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I haven't for the rest of my life. I wasn't there for that. I don't remember it, but you were weak and frail. And exactly right. You need me. You don't need John Claude. So forget. Forget about that line of thinking, Booker, Your jazz musician, stick to that.
Starting point is 00:26:16 I'm gonna say, you know why? I'm gonna be honest. This guy's being kind of callous. I thought he was cool before, but he's kind of an asshole. I feel like if you've, you know, lived hundreds of years and every hundred years you come back to slated and et cetera. You're call it. You call it's been a century.
Starting point is 00:26:32 I mean, I would hope that I would be like that. But you never really know until you're in that situation. I'll say you'd be like that, Bucca. You'd be like that. This is a private conversation. I don't really like your tongue. You're like two feet away from each other. I don't really like you talk.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Well, I'm trying to stop the dang old amokinus from piercing the veil to the dark abyssal void beyond the stars. I'm just a little, I'm upset. I'm upset. I said those things about John Claude and now he's gone or he doesn't want to come out from behind his hiding rock.
Starting point is 00:27:01 He's just, he's not gone. He's just scared. He'll be back later. Are we sure he didn't accidentally peek and get cracked by that robot flesh sniper guy? That would be awful. Then he'd be dead. And Mr. Shanticleer, of the ancestral home of Shatakl.
Starting point is 00:27:15 They would not tell us that he's alive if that was the case. You sure he's alive back there. Look, I'll say all right. I'd like to insight check. I would like to insight check. To see whether or not our good friend is alive. I'll sniff it too. Can I assist you in it?
Starting point is 00:27:32 We are similar. No, no, I'm helping you. You're assisting me? Okay. I'm unassisting him. Can I roll a persuasion check against him? I'm sure he's just, I'm sure he's just got, we're going to just have to keep John Luke around.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Whoever might wants to handle it, whether I'm in, whether I'm trying to discern if you're telling the truth or whether you want to decept for both. And it's a context. Yeah, I would say make a deception check. If it's higher than 20, that'll set the DC. I roll an advantage because I'm in my eternal form. You could be making that up and I'd have to believe you. Uh, 22. Do I still get Brumley's help?
Starting point is 00:28:05 Yeah. And I'm just rolling an insight check against that. And that's what it is, right? It's an insight check. Yeah. I plus, yeah. He just wanted to roll. Determine if.
Starting point is 00:28:14 I mean he's lying about John Claude being alive. Oh, yeah. I'm an advantage on charisma checks. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because I'm so good. Man. Bump-ba-ba-bump double nine for 12. Wait, hold on, if I'm helping,
Starting point is 00:28:29 and I'm on the case to figure out what happened to John Claude. Now I'm going to use on the case. Feel free to, can I use my feature to help him? Just re-roll one of the 20s. Hurry, hurry, hurry, before he notices. That's even less. Then we got it, Five. What do you think, Booker?
Starting point is 00:28:49 Do you think he's telling the truth? I hate to say it, Grumley, but yeah, he's telling the truth. Wow. So he's okay, and he just wants to hang out here for a while. It defies every logic and understanding that I would ever have about the situation, but I believe him. All right, guys, to the Wyble. I put my hand on, I put my hand on Booker's shoulder. I stare at his eyes. You see the twinkle of Starlight reflected back in him. God.
Starting point is 00:29:15 I say, Booker, I'm sorry I lied to you. Jean-Claude's dead back there. I didn't want you to know it. I know you love him. You love him deeply. Your best friends, I know it. I know it to be true. I wouldn't do this to you,
Starting point is 00:29:30 so I'm going to go collect his body and some retarded robes of the tones of Discord, and I'll bring it back with us. But, oh, yeah, I'll say he's dead. I'm sorry. I'll say, Booker, staring to my eyes and know that I'll take care of Jean-Claude, but I'll bring him back with us.
Starting point is 00:29:48 And I think, in fact, maybe even the Wago Copter can resurrect him. But we'll have to put him inside the Wago Copter Chamber of Resurrection. You probably didn't even know that was the thing. But that's in there. Is that entirely the Iron Maiden? I know that's inside of some sort of French torture. But an ancestral hero of how Santa Claus, Claire, I believe you. Why would you change your story now?
Starting point is 00:30:11 How could you? I say, because I think down the line this will be easier to walk back. I don't know, I don't know how we come back to be complimented again, so in fact, we're just going to bring his body with us. You could have hand-waved it. But I think, no, I think this is going to be kind of like a Superman thing. You're all on the same page, and now you're telling you're dead. I think he's going to the fortress.
Starting point is 00:30:32 I'll take him into the fort. You could have said a miracle from literal God. No, that's ridiculous. Instead, I'll take him into the fortress of Chanticleer, where the resurrection powers of the crystals left of me by my parents will work on him night and day. and I'll ensure that I'll bring him back to you. I had to let you know the truth. I'd like to incite, check him to see if I believe that any of us.
Starting point is 00:30:52 But didn't you just say, you could resurrect him on a YGOC copter? I'll say, it's all very complicated, Grumman, it's beyond your ability to understand, don't you worry. I leaned. There's tears in my eyes, and I stop for a moment. I think,
Starting point is 00:31:12 21. 21. Grumman, I just telling the truth. you would do this, Strasn, but I think he's telling the truth. I'll say, I'm going to go collect his body now, Booker. I say, I say, just over there. He's strong. He's dead. I say, steal yourself, Booker.
Starting point is 00:31:34 You're going to need to be strong for what to come next. John Claude was just the first soldier to fall over the stevens. Strong. I'm a jazz musician. My leg is mangled beyond ever being fixed. Oh, yeah, I say that's fair. That's fair, Booker. You're in way over your head. I work a minimum wage job in my head.
Starting point is 00:31:51 My car sucks. What? How do you expect us to be strong? Well, I say because you're not strong because it comes to you. You're strong because you need to be, Booker. And this, the great time of need for all the galaxy, you must rise. Your single note from your saxophone must... Must...
Starting point is 00:32:15 Why does you say it like that? Why'd you say it like that? Sex. I mean, I over... It's a weird person. No one ever... It's a saxophone. This is a speech often given by the...
Starting point is 00:32:26 By the treasured ancestral hero... You talk like an alien. That's ridiculous. You don't talk like a normal bitch. No, I'm not... Well, I'm like this because I'm an ancestral hero from the house of Sean LeClair. And anyway, this is a common speech given to, you know, somebody who... He's a hundred years old...
Starting point is 00:32:43 Yeah, you don't know about these things. Oh, you think you the first person who spoke saxophone? What are you like... Like 30? Eight? tears from my eyes. 39 years old. He was so young.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Oh, John, God. He was only too. I look back in your star-dusted eyes. I'm keeping my eye on you. And I'm going to hobble towards the Wigwer Coffee. I'm going to go make coffee. I'm going to want some. Well, just hold on one second.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Can you, you got the tears going. I'm going to take a picture. Thank God this service here. All right. I've put up a campaign on leave pay stranger that our dear friend, John Claude, Sean Declare, died in a cacophonous battle and oh shit, look at all of these.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Look at all these donations. Fantastic. Can you cry a little more like? Perfect. I'm gonna take it. Just look at how he's dead. It's dead bodies just right over there right now. That's so sad. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Thoughts and prayers. I'm gonna go make coffee, bro. Me, I'm keeping my mind. I'm gonna grab a bunch of rags from the leftover tones of discord and just roll them up. Roll them up empty. But so enough that it looks like I'm rolling the around. Make a second check advantage because you have the in central power of how...
Starting point is 00:33:55 Of course, awkward small talk about fantasy fleeing in the office now. That's a natural, 12. Jesus. He's unstoppable. You actually realize that the remaining parts of the feet progress fiend known as progress actually kind of resembles his body shape a bit. And so you're able to kind of grab that and bundle it up and bring the corpse of a progress demon more buttons in the ass.
Starting point is 00:34:29 I'll say this is the perfect thing to do. I'll say I'll say self, you are a genius. You slide chicken. All right. They'll never figure this one out. I made my way back to the Y-Borocopter. prepare coffee for everyone. Let's go back to the Wago Cup.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Bixie, did you uncover all the secrets of Xerxie so that you have what you need to restore the middle class, or should we just go? I've got my eyes solely on our champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got all that. All right. Oh, God. We're doomed.
Starting point is 00:35:14 As you leave, you hear, they're like, are you sure we've got a lot of cool secrets? Hey, wait, go, look. I'm running my eyes. The cool secrets. And then the door closes behind you as you leave. Well, the mystery of the tone can wait till later. I make my way up onto the Ygor Coptor with the others.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Hazel. You stand over the fax machine. And you're getting really frustrated. And you are, uh, and you are, uh, You keep punching in the information that you need, and you keep trying to run it through, and the papers is not going all the way,
Starting point is 00:35:59 and you keep kind of smoothing it out. And after a few attempts, you finally get it to work. And you hit a... As you finally see a big notification, fax sent. And you then feel... the presence that is yourself, but also your friend Bumbles as the big shape of Eldritch berry flesh, says, Excellent.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Now I crave refreshment. Oh, me too, bud. In the break room. All right, let's go. What day does Hazel think it is? Friday. What day? It's Monday.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Okay. It's Monday. That's right. It's still Monday. That's the most horrific wake of all time. God, that is terrible, isn't it? T-G-I-F. All right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Hey, where is everyone? Probably in the break room. I've eaten all the donuts again. I assure you there are donuts remaining. I assure you. I can always count on you, Bumble. Our lettuce. Let us feast.
Starting point is 00:37:46 as you make your way out of the fax room, and you walk by as you see a, it looks like a delivery person wearing bright pink that says double D's and honking good donuts. As, it's another bitling. It's a bitling and it seems to be a bumblebee bitling, as the delivery driver just kind of walks forward with like big and an empty expression
Starting point is 00:38:23 and like glowing purple eyes. As excuse me. Hi, yeah. What's going on? You are in my way. Donuts are delivered. Yes, thank you. As Bumble says,
Starting point is 00:38:49 yes, thank you. The delivery person says, yes, Thank you, and then kind of shifts aside, and then makes her way out. Do they say it in unison? Yes. What the fuck? Everything is fine.
Starting point is 00:39:06 All right. What they leave? What they leave? Ah, yes, let us figure out what they have brought us. As you enter the break room, as you see that there are not just four boxes of donuts, there's even four boxes of the little donut holes.
Starting point is 00:39:32 And it says, try our holes. This is a nightmare. Everything about this is a wrong. Dare you enter my magical realm. Eat them up. Eat them up. Put our holes in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:39:49 David, all of this? Yes. What are you going to try first? Quickly. to regain your sustenance. Regain your energy. Don't tip me with a good time. I'll pop a box open and see what looks good in there.
Starting point is 00:40:10 How hungry is he? Start slamming holes. I'm gonna start slamming holes. I like to imagine there's a diagram on the inside that says are holes your mouth? It's what it says. Absolutely. Double these.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Our holes your mouth. Oh. As you hear a and a as you hear the Wyclercopter returning and it's hard to believe this is a Friday afternoon. I mean, where are they going?
Starting point is 00:40:43 You thought that and who's flying the Wigrocaptor if not you? They're going to have my seat all out of position, my mirrors are going to be wrong. Oh, no. What are they doing? This is fine. Feast to regain your energy.
Starting point is 00:40:59 All right. Hey, did you try these glazed holes? They're pretty good. I am actually not hungry. Okay, buddy. Yes, all is fine. I am satiated for now. This is bad.
Starting point is 00:41:24 My appetite is of another sort. You change your mind, I'll save you one. Uh, yes. Yes. Save me. One of the spider ones, those are really good. A lot of season, right now. This is a special treat.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Yeah, they made it specially just for us. I made an offer they couldn't fuse. Oh, do you have a coupon? Something like that. You hear the delivery drivers stumble down the wall away and like ragdoll. Jesus. It's not much longer
Starting point is 00:42:20 until your friends all arrive back from hell, but you have, it's, it's Friday afternoon for you. He says it's not much longer, but I think Bixie's still piloting the Y-Corps copter, and she's still not very confident at landing. So she has to take like three or four different attempts before she actually... Oh, no, yeah, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Touching goes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eventually, I finally landed. One side, and then it tink-t-tink-tick-tink finally shuffles into place. Oh, I got it. Oh, alright, let's go up. Figure out what we're gonna do about this thing,
Starting point is 00:42:57 find why I go up, figure out what his plan is, and go deal with this among-oose situation, I guess. I'm just gonna put John Claude's body in his room for his office. Put him in the resurrection machine. Well, yeah, I mean, I'll get him to the resurrection machine, certainly. No, it's important you get him in the resurrection machine as fast as possible. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:17 If our good friend Hazel's still cocooned up in the fax machine, we're going to need a sixth person. We might as well have Jean Claude as well as you, the ancestral hero of House Chanticlean. You really don't want him to pay in. I say, that's a great thought, Booker. However, it's going to take at least 30 minutes to get to Agathos by Copta, and the resurrection machine is going to take at least 47.
Starting point is 00:43:44 There's no possible way he'll be here in time. 17 minutes. No, I don't know, are you kidding me? The veil of the stars about to be pierced by the missile forward, leaking the deep behind it into the galaxy to consume. And you wanna wait 17 minutes, Bitsy? Look at me, Bitsy, look at my eyes,
Starting point is 00:43:59 you wanna wait 17 minutes. Look, at least you're about to get hit by some godly blast. You could hold Jean-Luc and John Claude up to take it. Ah, Sean Luke. I'd say, oh. I said John Claude.
Starting point is 00:44:10 What did you just say, Bixie? Oh, I'd hold John Luke up to take a godly blast. Tell you're right. The secrets at your disposal Unparallel. I say, I say, Jean-Han. You see a phantasm. In the corner of the room,
Starting point is 00:44:29 as you see a very rooster-shaped vampire. But like the sexy kind, Dracula from the Netflix, Castlevania series, where he's even sexier than the ancestral hero of House Chanticleer. He says, I say, I say you rage against the entropy and all of the fiends, but you saw the power it can give
Starting point is 00:44:55 and the big, cool, fucking castles and big titty vampire mommies. You're wasting your time at a minimum wage job, Jean-Claude. I say I don't have a minimum wage job. I'm simply the hero of House Fonderclis, Clair. Jean-Luth, you dumb asshole. Shut the fuck up, John Lund. I don't know. I think he's losing it. You know what? That sounds like to me.
Starting point is 00:45:20 It's like in the shadows. Actually, like, just a silhouette. He's talking. It's actually really unsettling. It's in the shadows. And then suddenly there's nothing but like two be beady, pinpricks of light, of where his eyes were.
Starting point is 00:45:32 And it says, Sounds like to me that's cope and see. I whip with the varg, the varg. Oh, gosh, you watch the line. It's the corner and there's nothing. I'll say your Thomas come, John Luke. Are you alright?
Starting point is 00:45:48 Yes, of course. I think you need a cold cup of old coffee. Oh, I say that could be just the thing. You're not losing it on us, are you? No, of course not. It was my... Well, it was nothing. I was...
Starting point is 00:46:01 Don't worry about it, but... Just simply something was one other thing you wouldn't be able to understand. Uh, the list piles up and piles up, absolutely. No, don't touch it! Are you sure I can take it? No, no, no, no. Simply. I pulled him from cacophony. I will see.
Starting point is 00:46:17 to his form. This guy's saying a lot of stuff, Brumley. I don't like this. I mean, he's the ancestral hero of House Sondeclair. I mean, this is like really a best case scenario, having to deal with gods and demons and the deep. Even if he loses his mind and can't differentiate friend from foul? Well, I mean, it's possible that there are things lurking on the edges of our existence that we can't see with our ungodly eyes, but that, you know, our friend here can see because he's gazed upon elder beings. It's clear to me now that you Peggy and you grungly are the smart ones.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Now you down. This sort of accidentally Freudian slip the name Jean-Luc and her words have power. She's a shadow tongue after all. Yes, right. Available in the Outrunner's Handbook. I don't know what you've done, ancestral hero of Halshant-Clair, but you appear have turned on against him. No, I'm not against you.
Starting point is 00:47:11 No, not at all. Wait, should we be against this guy? Oh, I said, Booker, please. Take it easy. Oh, so good. Please, we have to band together, not come apart. We must dance with the homunculus beyond the stars and ensure he does not consume the gods.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Who will make the afternoon coffee now? Is it in poor taste to add stretch goals on my leave pay stranger? That's not what you mean by stretch goal. I'm just thinking if we can hit, you know, I don't know, 10.5, maybe 11 million notes. You could do something cool. Oh, he was so young.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Oh, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. So many praying hand emojis. Does anyone smell that? I smell holes. Oh, do you think that they have some of those creamy holes? I think they have a whole variety of holes. Oh my God, I think they might have shaved holes.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Is it unmistakable that we smell the smell of freshly delivered double Ds? Absolutely. Oh my God, someone on a double Ds. Let's go, we're all gone. They have the coconut-shaped holes. They're in there. I like the bleached ones. Have you ever had...
Starting point is 00:48:21 Have you ever had double D's? I mean, you're like 100 years old, 30 years old. Well, yes, of course. I've had double D's. What are you waiting for? Let's go. I'm waiting for you to lead. I started to wait at the break room
Starting point is 00:48:35 trying to get some double D's. I'm heading straight for the cream-filled holes. You eventually arrive, and you see Hazel happily eating whatever donut or hole that she would care to enjoy. And you see, you're thinking about who's gonna make the afternoon coffee, you see that there's actually four boxes of catered coffee, which is about as warm as it's going to get.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Which is a little above, which is a little above. It's ice cold. It's always ice cold. Ah, where we see, Hazel? Yeah. Hazel! Oh my God! And I'm going to hobble over.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Ah! You all right? Yeah. Wait. What? Eating holes. What are you? I tell her the whole story about how we found her. I broke my leg trying to open up the
Starting point is 00:49:28 open up the door, how we found her encased in a cocoon of Bumble, how there was nothing we could do, there were screaming souls, we took a, we took a delivery job to hell itself in cacophony. We faced off against cacophonous demons. It's all courage the carrotly dog style. Yes. Pulling your tooth. Exactly. How homo-pollicillus, the act. The absolute perfection of beings appeared and opened the door of truth to Agathos. And how we flew back here, worried that you were still going to be cocooned in bubble. And that's also Monday. And while she is in a state of shock, I'm going to show a QR code.
Starting point is 00:50:07 And this is where you can donate to John Claude's funeral. Oh, also John Claude is dead. I say, don't worry about that one, though. It's just horrible. We just threw his corpse on the ground. He was so young. Well, double Ds is how I mean, come on. I need both hands.
Starting point is 00:50:22 That's very fair. I'll give you this. You can't handle double D's with one hand. If you have any savings that you feel like you can put towards his funeral fund. Not a nickel. No, we won't need a funeral. I think we'll be able to resurrect him once we get him back to the ancestral home, house on a plan, the resurrection chambers. I was hoping to use Waterburger as the catering company for his funeral, but.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Oh, I do like that. Did Bumble eat all of the holes with nuts in them? Those are Grumley's favorites. Oh. Oh, I love the ones absolutely covered in nuts. Oh, they're gone. Yeah. It's some of the chocolate ones left.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Oh. A little messy. I'm not really a fan. So wait a minute. You just like, you're just okay now? Did you order the double D's? Actually, you know, they just show old. No, we didn't help.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Yeah, we found you on a Friday and now it's Monday. No, you didn't. Oh. Wait, you know. What do you mean? Bubble? No, you didn't. I'll say yes, she did. I know, most definitely, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:33 That's not what happened. No, no, we thought that you didn't show up for work. We were worried that you didn't show up for work Monday morning, and we found you in the fax room all cocooned up in Bumble. Nope. What? Bumble is it. Bumble, you had it worked in.
Starting point is 00:51:46 We were acting all day. What are you talking? That's not what happened. Ever make an intelligent saving throw? I actually get okay. when our brains explode. I did not. I'm rolling like ass.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Oh no. Oh, wait. I fell. Intelligence you say? A sexual 14. Fuck. Beat me. I got a 5.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Oh, no. Everyone can add a D4 to any saving throw because of my internal aura. That's huge. A D4? A D4? You can add that to the same. A sexual 15. Okay, I'm still 10.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Is it? Is it in, in save, right? Yeah, I fell. We're the same. Oh. Nice. Hmm. Eight.
Starting point is 00:52:33 22. Very nice. 25. I think I might be the only one fail. I got a 10. Right. Okay, sweet. We're in trouble.
Starting point is 00:52:42 It bros. Classic. The four of you suddenly believe Bumble. And that's actually not what happened. And Bitsy's actually lying. And Hazel, you don't know what to feel. Oh, we all failed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Oh. Bidsey? Is that for Bitsy? Why are you lying, Bixie? Huh. Oh, yeah. No, we, didn't we hang out with Hazel over the weekend? Yeah, we went to that place with the turkey legs.
Starting point is 00:53:20 That's right. We went to, that's right, went to Cavalon Dimes. Yeah, because we promised you we were going to take you. We took you to Cavalon Times. Finally. Finally. Only. Only in Elda Chora would have me and planned to fake memories of Cavalon Times.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Yeah. So, yes, that totally happened. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just miss from we had such a good time at Kevon. You have to have your friend. Our dearest friend and coworker John Claude is now dead. This is the QR code if you have any savings. Oh, I forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Did he die Kvalon times? No. No. No. He died in that. No. He got a shot in hell. Oh.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Oh. That happened. I mean, look, it's a Monday. What do you expect? Yeah, it's one of those money. It's one of those. Something's not like. I know everyone loved him so much.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Yeah. I'll say, I'll say, but. But why didn't Hazel come with us? Because she was doing that faxin thing. I'll say, wasn't she there? Who flew the Ligarcopter? Was his not? I know it.
Starting point is 00:54:15 What are you fucking talking about? It's crazy. Bumble a lion. No, no, Hazel was ridiculous. You didn't know, she had to get a colonoscopy this morning, didn't she? I did. You didn't. You had to get a colonoscopy?
Starting point is 00:54:28 Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah. You were doing that fecal and that fecal transplant. Oh, that is so much more important. Didn't, you know, saving the gods of Agaf. They can never be too careful. Colosca be so important. Bachel's safe and soft.
Starting point is 00:54:40 He's messing with their minds. He's doing what I normally do of people. Don't listen to this lion bitch. He's twisting them into false memories into false thoughts. Why would Bumble be that to Haysel? No, he was clearly hiding something. He's been acting weird, hasn't he?
Starting point is 00:54:53 He has been acting a little strange. He said that he wasn't hungry earlier. He said he was sated. He said he was hated. He'll listen to me. Bitsy's going crazy. It's just, I don't know what's going on with her. I think it's all those holes. You've ever known Bumble to be satiated?
Starting point is 00:55:08 No, I haven't. It's weird, right? Listen, play along with our friends, but keep an eye on your tail. Okay, yeah. I mean, the colonoscopy thing makes sense. You eat a lot of preservatives. I'll say the only thing that's weird here is eating 20 double Ds right after a colonoscopy. I'm at the room.
Starting point is 00:55:32 You're going to be playing for that. You're playing with fire. You are gonna be paid for that awesome. She's gonna be a shoot perfect right out. She must be starving. You're gonna be like one of those. You're gonna be like one of those
Starting point is 00:55:46 ping pong shooter guns from the 1990s. Like hot dog guys. You made sure to chew them first this time though, right? Oh, that's a whole point out of the hose. You don't have to chew. Oh, God, that's really dangerous. We just swallow it right down home. If we're all satisfied with this explanation,
Starting point is 00:56:02 we should go find Wangmore. Oh, I'm gonna have a donut. All the donors are gone too. Well, I'll just have this lone bear cock. Wait, wait, hold on. What did you just say? What did you call that? It's from double D's, it's the bear cock.
Starting point is 00:56:23 I hold up what is it very anatomically correct. Bearclaw-style penis. Why? Why? Because this whole joke's got maddened. Why did you want to order them? You know, it's... You would like some.
Starting point is 00:56:38 It's a shame. Why do they have the cock and holes pack? Why don't they call it cock and balls? It just doesn't make any sense. I don't actually think you're supposed to eat that. I think that's how to you... It's weird. It's the only meat item on the menu.
Starting point is 00:56:57 She's a giant breakfast also. I take another tsunami. I take my light laser pistol and I eat it. You hear a crackling voice over the innercom. Oh, yes, you've all made it back in one beast, except for poor, pause on plod. Well, take him to the resurrection chamber. And then get to the crisis room.
Starting point is 00:57:24 We have a crisis. How about I? Go take him to the chamber. Hazel, you finally finished that fucking facts about time. Oh, no, I know. It took forever. That's what a way. It's almost like a...
Starting point is 00:57:35 a totally obsolete piece of technology. What am I even paying any of you for? Gosh. You still haven't paid us. Ah, well, due time. But there's a crisis right now. We gotta go. Yeah, let's get to the crisis room. But I'll turn it on a little wheel and I'll speedily get to the
Starting point is 00:57:51 crisis room. I will not go to the reservation. With the tone of, with the tone of progress. That is very funny. If Jean-Claude has like an office or if there's anywhere I can find a closet. You got a cubicle. Like a cubicle?
Starting point is 00:58:09 You got a cubicle? I would go to Jean-Claude's cubicle and just stuff this under this. Yeah. You go to the cubicle. You can you like lock it? Yeah, I'll say- Good in there.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Get in there. The cucumber. It is pristine. It is perfectly neat and orderly. There is the stapler shines. Cucumber. That's what I heard. You just like cucumber.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Did you not? A cucumber? A cucumber. The steepler, a cubicle. The stupacle, cubicle. Excuse me. Cubicle. The cubicle absolutely is pristine.
Starting point is 00:58:47 And you see that there is a little ripet calendar of inspirational quotes. And there is also a wall calendar. And then there's a big poster with a a space given that's hanging onto a branch and it says Monday spacegiven, hang in there. And you find that this is Jean-Claude's office
Starting point is 00:59:18 and then there's just enough space where you're able to make a deception check to see how will you hide up. Actually, no, do a light of hand to see how dexterous you are. 11. 11. You...
Starting point is 00:59:39 There is a robotic, there's a robotic, but all of the cloth garb that you're using. The rigor mortis is. Yeah, there is a glowing, it's starting to stink of sulfur and like a diesel oil. Hell and hell and brimstone. As you see the body of progress, the integrated sniper rifle that he had is kind of poking out. And you just kind of move the little swivel chair in front of it, and it does nothing at all. I do that. it. And then I
Starting point is 01:00:11 race back to the situation room. I pause. I say, I'll say, I'll run back to my little standing drawer and I pull out and I take a squeegee bottle of cleaner and a cloth. Someone left a cup coffee circle stayed on my desk.
Starting point is 01:00:31 I say, I say, oh, perfect. No one else expect a thing. And I race to the situation room. You all walk past. You make your way through the evil layer. You hear what sounds like kind of bright elevator jazz throughout. What do we hear when we pass the pit of Eternal Forum? You were just way ahead of me.
Starting point is 01:00:57 I was just about to describe. Oh, my God. You walk by the door and it is quiet. It is completely quiet. It is almost eerily quiet. As you see the doorway to the fax room, and the doorway exact same style of sign that says a pit,
Starting point is 01:01:16 a bottomless pit of unfathomable and unending torment. And it's, hmm, anyway. Step it on that before. It's a crisis afoot. Yeah, we've got to go. No time to worry about this. And you make your way to the crisis room, and that's not Wygore's office,
Starting point is 01:01:31 is you step into this highly advanced, sleek chrome, as far as you can see, and digital displays, and projecting from a center console, it looks like a star map of the entire Stardust Rhapsody. And even beyond that, the outsides have almost looked like projections of the various realms. You see an overlay of the harmony and the hypergrid.
Starting point is 01:02:00 You see where you are, floating you are here, off to the side in Arcadia. And you look and Y-Gore has a brain in a jar on his head that is filled with a bright red liquid. And the brain is especially dark. And he says, bad news, everyone. And that is where we'll take a break. You enter the crisis room.
Starting point is 01:02:31 As Y-Gore looks at you, and there's a little bit of serious, to him that normally there's like this dopy blankness behind his eyes, but still there, but just definitely diminish. There's concern. As he says, Well, it's worse than I feared. My day old Hoboculus seeks to become the perfect being at the expense of the galaxy itself. and I'm afraid it's looking very grim I hate to do this but I'm going to need you guys to kill that
Starting point is 01:03:17 son of a bit listen I'm gonna be I'm gonna level with you here YGOA feels like a lot of the time we're cleaning up your messes here what book your name one time I named like 50 times
Starting point is 01:03:33 I spent an hour literally like listing off 50 and All right, well, I mean, that was definitely a joint responsibility. There really is a lot of times, Booker. Well, I think you're being very unfair, Booker. Okay, noted. I feel like in this economy, it's very difficult to find good work, and I have very reliable employment that might be a little treacherous,
Starting point is 01:04:00 but aren't you rewarded handsomely? You know why, Gawom? It's interesting that you've decided to pick this time to ask me my true feelings about this job, which until this morning, I was pretty thrilled about it. You're right, there's no time. I'd pull out a little note note. 51.
Starting point is 01:04:23 Oh, no. Oh, no. This is a much shorter list. I jot something down as I stick the notepad back in my pocket. Oh, my God. Going to need to find a way to get you all to Agathos. And I guess I need to go and fly the Wigle Copt for myself. Whoa, you can do that? Ah, yes.
Starting point is 01:04:44 I built the wild go a copter. I don't hold your breath, grumbly. I just really don't care to because of my, on account of my cataracts. Oh, are you legally allowed to drive? Oh, fuck, fuck those pigs. I don't get a shit. What are they going to do?
Starting point is 01:05:06 I've already, I've already faced off the interstellar representatives of stealing. My humongulous is trying to become a god. Oh. I mean, just what happens if you get pulled over while you're flying us to agathroats and, you know, they see on your license like must be wearing vision helping device. Let's hope that doesn't happen. Oh, probably. Demontority with at least five clorums.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Because of what I'm going to say. If they try to pull me over, it's tell me I don't have a kid. drive my own damn Wygore copter whatever and however I dare well please let's just say that his family is going to be crying over and coughing
Starting point is 01:05:54 and it's going to be a closed casket and he pulls out a very photorealistic handgun Oh Oh Oh oh oh oh Oh man's a non millimeter's been the message I pull out my notebook I jot down instigate shootout
Starting point is 01:06:10 Mygore and law enforcement Look, I'll do it. I'll help you. I'll take down that dang old Hulongulus. I will. Not only am I contractually obligated by our employment agreement, but it gets in the way. If he takes over the entire galaxy and an axe's plan to become a perfect being, that gets in the way of my plan to bring back the middle class. Ah, yes, I suppose the annihilation of the entire starters from perhaps he would quite get in the way of bringing back the middle class. We can't allow this to happen, everybody. Well, of course not, but,
Starting point is 01:06:52 Wagoy, you created this thing. What do you suggest we do once we get to Agathos? He's approaching perfect being heard, and now with his tones of discord in shreds, I say, I say. Well, how do you suggest we face him in combat? You must have some weapon of mass destruction, or perhaps his original flask. Oh, it's original flask, that's a good idea.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Fuck, that's good. Yes, you're exactly right. Ancestual hero of House Stratoclair, you're far smarter than by shitty accountant. Oh, well, I mean, it's not really. May he rest in peace and sit. Well, it's only a matter of time. It's only a matter of time
Starting point is 01:07:37 until he's returned to us in the resurrection chamber. His body's not even cold yet. Yeah, well, it's getting warmed up at the chamber. I'll say he's just an accountant that's great at numbers and great to have around at parties, but I am the ancestral hero of Alessonterclair, and ancient weapons and defeating things beyond the dark is what I know.
Starting point is 01:07:57 I don't even really think, though, that he was great to have at parties. I mean, the guy didn't really drink and he always looked like he had to stick up his ass. Well, I think that he was just, you know, he really brightened up the room, and I think that you were just crying about him, Boker, all right? You were just crying about him, and you loved him, So, well, that's that.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Well, you said it, not me. I'm going to need you all to just fight up like face to face. He's like an ascended being of Agathos now. We're just delivery people. Ah, yes, yes. Yeah, more of a lover, not a fighter.
Starting point is 01:08:29 Yeah, we don't really kill people very often. Not on purpose anyway. I guess except all those times in the aisle's 50 times that we've murdered, we've murdered and killed people. accidentally slaughtered deliveries. Well, can't you give us some of your power-ups and your doomsday advices?
Starting point is 01:08:45 And I point over to a shelf that's just covered in weapons. Maybe something could fall off the truck, you know? Ah, yes. Of course, wise one. Your whisper is ours. Intelligence is they are delectable to the ears. Hmm. Ah, yes.
Starting point is 01:09:09 I now have a better plan. What good am I? What good am I if I am a doomsday device inventor? I don't plan by using my doomsday advice on my own dangle amunculus. You don't happen to have some sort of Agathocene being, vaporization ray lying around, do you? No, I don't. Book them.
Starting point is 01:09:35 But I figure we'll take that whole shelf. Every doomsday device I have, throw them all into a burlap sack, and just shoot it at him. the beginning of the fight. And then the rest will be up to you. Oh, that's all we're going to do. Just fire a bag of doomsday devices out of a cannon.
Starting point is 01:09:53 And then we're? Are they like explosives? Are they, I mean, are we just giving him all the weapons? Is it going to erupt when it hits him? It's going to be everything you can imagine. We're just going to fucking pray. I'm imagining him open the burlap sack,
Starting point is 01:10:10 growing two extra arms and then wielding poor Doomsday guns out. What if he just uses him against us? great point by the ancestral hero of House Chanticleer. Well, if we're going to be an agathos, praying seems like a good plan. I mean, it's at least stomatic and relevant. Yes, yes, yes. Praying, praying. Ah, yes.
Starting point is 01:10:29 And that once he's weak, we'll use the flask. We'll use the flask that I first created him in. Whoa. We need to break down. Mr. Chanticleer, I didn't know you know so much about
Starting point is 01:10:46 alchemy. I don't know too much about Archimay, but I know about killing evil. Whoa. Including homunculi Spawned from flasks. I haven't quite run into this too much, but you'd be surprised how often you kill something just by putting it back
Starting point is 01:11:04 and it's bad. He's pretty amazing, but don't ask him to say saxophone. You say it, not mean, that is an odd thing to say, well, good. I'm just saying, don't ask him to say it. It's, you know, it'll be a whole thing. Say saxophone, good boy. Well, I'm saying like everybody else, sacks. Of phone.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Ah, yes, of course. Of course. Yeah, I don't understand what's wrong like that. Gosh, I mean, you know, we should really switch it on some round John Virgin. He can really blow a mean piece of brass. Who's round John version? Ah, he's the greatest brass blower he ever dig down song. Booker loves a round John Virgin.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Yeah, he's pretty good, but my personal favorite jasmus is. of all time is the lonious disciple. That's very funny. That's very funny. Thanks. I've been waiting six episodes to say it. And once he's weak enough to the point that he could no longer retain the power of all of the souls of Xerxes,
Starting point is 01:12:10 that will use the ultimate weapon of Arcadia itself. I've put out a few phone calls. calls. I know what's returned by phone calls, yeah, but I have a feeling that with the time calls for it, our needs will be met. So let's just, just to get it straight, we're going to show, we're to roll
Starting point is 01:12:35 up in the Wigorcopter. Yes, yes. We're going to confront him. And as soon as he opens his stupid mouth, we're going to throw every doomsday device you ever invented right into his face. And if that doesn't work, then we'll face off with him one on, we'll just a group of us against a near, near living God. Ah, yes, yes,
Starting point is 01:12:53 of course, of course. And then after we, if we can't do that, then... Apparently our needs will be met. Whatever that means. I've never had my needs met. I'll walk over to a jug of the... I'll walk over to a bowl.
Starting point is 01:13:12 It's a bowl. It's a bowl. It's a bowl of the soul-protecting suppositories. You know, just in case, I think we all need to... Take two or three. Actually, that makes a good question, Michael. How long do these things last, you know, shoved way up our...
Starting point is 01:13:27 Way off. Shubbed way up in there. I mean, why not? You should only need to replace them. Are they different or... You should after your first one, you should only need to replace it about after six years.
Starting point is 01:13:40 No, no, Binty, those are the previously used one. Every two years. Just the new bowl. The new bowl. Oh, God, no. Those are the recycled ones. Why don't look like little cartoon animals? What do I do with this now?
Starting point is 01:13:53 Well, you basically pull out your SIM card slot. You stick that in there and you put it back in. I don't know what that means. Nobody does. Nobody does. What was what do you does do that? I was putting back the use of positorial allegedly. Oh, yes, give me back the you suppository basket.
Starting point is 01:14:15 I need that. Okay, cough them up. Cough them up. Cough them up. It rattles. You put them to the table. All right. We have our plan.
Starting point is 01:14:31 I'll be ready with the flash. Where'd you keep it? Tell us where it is. We'll go get it. Oh, you go get it. Do something for once. I'll go get it. God.
Starting point is 01:14:40 I'll get it. The rest of you start loading the doomsday of device into the Wigar mouth cannon. All right. We'll put them in a sack and we'll load them up into the copter. Come on, guys. Do we still have that one tiny, rickety, like, dolly thing? Oh, yes, yes. Now, we'll run up.
Starting point is 01:14:59 Just don't drop it. Just don't drop it. All right. We won't drop them. We won't drop them. I'll grab it. I'll start loading the doomsday devices into the mouth cannon. Yeah, we work tirelessly to safely and carefully load all these doomsday devices into a sack on the YGore copter, which we can put in the Ygor Mouth Canon.
Starting point is 01:15:23 You do that. And this Y'Gore goes off to a... his office and disappears. Once again, the, the, the, all of the sounds of the wailing souls from the bottomless pit of unfathomable torment, uh, it's awfully quiet right next to the fax machine. The fax machine is actually quite louder as it keeps trying to regain a dial-up connection. Um, and it struggles. But you eventually get everything loaded up. And, uh, As you approach, you see that the N64 is set up. It's ready to go.
Starting point is 01:16:12 And it's Wigor sitting behind the cockpit. As he says, all right, crew, now's the time we have to save the heavens. You told me that an evil supervillain of Arcadia of the DibDib Woods This is quite a very basic early game stage, if I do say so myself. And his henchman would usually be easily defeated by being jumped on the head or by a basic punch attack. I would have told you, get out of town, and that's crazy. And we would be responsible for saving the world. And the galaxy and perhaps the known universe, I'd say shucks.
Starting point is 01:16:58 But I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to trust the fate of the galaxy to any other group of Bitzling, any other delivery company. Gee, I mean, that's nice of you to say, I guess, but, uh, I don't know. I don't know. I got to be honest with you, why I'm a little worried about this one. I don't know we're going to come back from this one. Why are you both talking like we're about to, you know, die? Oh, no, we're not going to die.
Starting point is 01:17:30 Oh, it'll be far worse. What? Oh, dying and returning to the harmony. Oh, I crave it sometimes. Oh, I think about it and I dream of it sometimes. Oh, peace and harmony. Fuck, I want it sometimes. What awaits us if we fail?
Starting point is 01:17:52 It's far fucking worse than that. It's oblivion. Probably. Abluvian? Ah, yes. Oh, eternal torment. I mean, not, you know, who knows? It's worse at that point.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Oh, it could be. A halt will be at about 50, 50. A bit of a note from it, I might say. A, little column A, little column B. My therapist isn't sure yet, but she thinks I might have a phobia event. Everybody, let's cheer up. We can pull together and do this. You all sound like you got a kiss of the Mondays.
Starting point is 01:18:26 And I need you all to sound like you got a case of the Fridays. Oh, I miss the whole weekend. Yeah, you did Look, if we get through this We'll pretend like it's Friday For the rest of the week Oh, that's right We can just decide
Starting point is 01:18:45 Wait, if we survive this Maybe could we just get locked The whole rest of the week off? Grubbly, you mad genius I'll motivate you By the reprieve of the torment of the endless cycle Of your day job So you're saying for the first time ever
Starting point is 01:19:06 If we pull this off, you're going to give us PTO. It's going to be a six-day weekend. Oh, my goodness. Oh, wow. I'll say, I can't help but notice he didn't say it was PTO. Simply that we wouldn't have to come to work. Just T-O. Just time off.
Starting point is 01:19:26 I can't help but notice that he didn't... Wow, we're six-day weekends. Six-day weekend's hard to beat. All right. To get how many times we can go to Cavalant Times. We can go every day. Every day. Six days in a row.
Starting point is 01:19:36 And we'll celebrate tonight and I'll, you know what? Heck, I'll skip my only frog stream later on. And I'll spend a celebratory evening with my dearest employees. That's, okay, I guess. I can't help but notice he didn't say us. Oh, and of course, Jean-Claude, if he's resurrected at the time, by the time we get back. I think that's fair to say that that's very possible. Should we wait the other 17 minutes or all?
Starting point is 01:20:09 We already got. No, we gotta go. We gotta go. Oh, you're right. There's no time. Cubs, Hazel, help me boot up. The old Wigogcomter for one last ride. I don't like to say it. It's a very finale-esque here. I don't like that. I'm really hoping that we'll get to bring it back
Starting point is 01:20:29 and that'll be the last ride. Yeah, baby. It's a weird energy in here, but anyway. I always deal with it with it this way. I saw this freak fucking face of that flash the first time I created. Is there any chance that maybe we should let
Starting point is 01:20:46 Hazel drive? Someone who doesn't yearn for the harmony. I'll be starting buttons while he's just muttering in community. The Wigogh Kornbukkah, you know how it is sometimes. The Wigoghomter
Starting point is 01:21:00 occasionally yearns for the Greco-Roma pillars of acophos. I'm all too familiar. All too familiar, Michael. I like to think that Hazel's actually flying, but she's handed the controller to the Weigorcopter. Like you hand a controller to a Yonter... Yeah, it's unplugged.
Starting point is 01:21:17 It's unplugged from the console. That is what is happening. All right. It was always going to end this way. It was always either him or me. We never could have coexisted. Oh, and my dear mentor told me, Weigur, don't make that homunculus.
Starting point is 01:21:39 I implore you. And I said, well, see what you'll say after I've ripped your fucking heart out. And eat it. Why, I think why go on three side? Oh, yes, we'll take them out. We'll take them out. Oh, yes, your Google Press. That's, hands in, hands in.
Starting point is 01:22:00 I'm scared, guys. I think Wyggard is admitted to ripping a man's heart out of the scene. And eating it. But yeah, sure, hands in, why not? One last ride. On the count of three. One? What are we saying on three?
Starting point is 01:22:12 Oh, just vibe it out. One, two, three, Sea, Coeur, Express. Oh, I said, just vibe it out. Oh, okay. I just mumbled. That's very funny. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 01:22:30 Okay, as you all know, Giddy to Agafos is a lot more challenging than using the Realm Drive on the Wigorocopter. You need to be blessed and chosen by the gods or achieved greatness. So I think all of us, of us are gonna need to say about 15 male Harries. I don't like that.
Starting point is 01:22:51 Male Harries. I don't like 15 male Harries and I think we're gonna be able to rip up with a poem. 15 male Harries is a Peggy's idea of good time. I need at least 16. Oh, male Harry full of thee. As you join in this chant, as Hazel,
Starting point is 01:23:14 you hear in your minds, Oh, yes, finally, I will feast. As you all get to your stations in the Wygore copter, as you buckle up, you've never been to Agathos. You never thought you'd go to the cacophony. As you all sit down and you realize that those donuts, that the donuts and coffee that you enjoyed that were ordered by, who knows,
Starting point is 01:23:54 once you took care of their effect on you in the bathroom, you realized they were extremely nourishing. And you replenished on all of your exhaustion as you all enjoyed the benefits of a long rest. Yes. Probably think that you might need to hit the bathroom again on your way to Agathos, but it was worth it. Is there a bathroom on the whiteboard helicopter?
Starting point is 01:24:28 Absolutely. I'm still seeing Mail Harries. Did you guys read Project Mail Harry? It was really fucking good. I fucking love that movie. Oh, you know, wait, was that a book? It was a movie first and then a book. Oh.
Starting point is 01:24:52 That's weird when they do that. When they like do the novelization. That's terrible. That's absolutely terrible. As you pray, and you pray, and you pray and suddenly you start, you hear a voice, um, Agathos prayer drive powering up as you continue to say your male Harry's.
Starting point is 01:25:18 And you are praying to Agathos as suddenly constellations start to form within the cabin. As you all feel almost like there's a lightness to you. And not just to your body, it's not like it's zero G, but the lightness to your souls. As suddenly it almost feels if the Wygore Comter itself is made
Starting point is 01:25:44 of Starlight. All right, Hazel. Get ready to punch it. Not enough penance? The guilt is overwhelming. The things I've done with these filthy fucking hands. Yeah. All right. Hit the button and a massive
Starting point is 01:26:09 flash of light feels you as, fills you and fills the entire Wygorcopter as you rocket out of the mountain layer, and immediately you blink, and Agathos is ahead. Arcadia is behind, and you are in the realm of the gods. Holy shit. Can't say that here.
Starting point is 01:26:43 As you see the brilliance of the stars all around you, and you know that you have flown throughout space throughout the galaxy, and the stars are always so distant, but here they are up close. Massive constellations that take the form of great creatures of heroes and other symbols of reverence and the tenets. of the 12 gods of Agathos, as you see off in the distance, what almost looks like great temples
Starting point is 01:27:29 or are they cities, metropolises, of the beings of the heavens themselves. But your destination is not there. You see a mountaintop with a stone door atop. with the symbol of an eye, all sorts of geometric patterns across the door,
Starting point is 01:27:57 very similar to the ones that you had seen in Xerxes, as you see a perfectly chiseled, sculpted, almost like a statue of, it's almost can barely be called a bitling anymore, a rat bitling. It's like Wygore, but tall, handsome, charismatic, perfect in every way.
Starting point is 01:28:25 And now holy good, as you all have destroyed the mortal flaws that he had ejected from himself, as you see this being, and as you get closer, you realize you can get a good look at him from this distance. As you get closer and closer, you realize he's getting larger and larger and larger.
Starting point is 01:28:56 And you realize that he's the size of a Titan. As you see the perfect being of rat and starlight, flowing hair of twinkling stars and nukes, nearly platinum blonde strands as he stands before this door. And you see as his hand is placed above it, as slowly these lines of bluish white, or bluish-white, start to channel along it. And you realize now that all of the constellations
Starting point is 01:29:42 and the stars of this angelic realm are around you, the starlight is being pulled into him, as if he is taking the power of the stars themselves. As you see the homunculus concocting his plan to consume and destroy the gods of Agathos and all of the beings of this realm. I'll step closer to this awesome vision, and I will pull my cloak up. It is already beginning, but we must bring it to its end.
Starting point is 01:30:22 And I'm going to use shadow armor, which is as part of my subclass, because we're still talking about all this awesome stuff on me on RPG.com. I get to cast major armor on myself without expending a spell slot. But I will also, a crackling of lightning will surround me as I use my action to cast armor of self. secrets and that lightning will shift and warp around me creating a massive circle like a compass rose with a very clear indicator of what direction north is. It'll slowly lower down over me and the point of north will be wherever I am facing at any given moment. That takes a spell slot but because of my cryptic guile I can regain a spell slot so I'm back topped up and I have an additional 10 temporary hit points as I approach this amazing battle scene.
Starting point is 01:31:20 All right. Holy. Why, is this it? Is this the moment? Do we have a clear shot? Oh, holy shit. Oh my God. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, this is, oh, weird as it. It's beautiful. He's weeping. Remember, I think of presentation check. Bixie Lopin commands you to Remember the plan. Name drop, and I'll take advantage on that charisma check. That's going to be persuasion.
Starting point is 01:31:56 14. 14. The mission, oh, my gosh. That's all. You've, uh, bidsy, low bidsy, you've reminded me of hate. The hates that poisons this beauty. Oh, we must kill him. Look at how smuggies.
Starting point is 01:32:13 Yeah, look at how smuggies. Look at how, just, he's, there's no way. He's that fucking beautiful. I can't believe this guy. No, no, he's too perfect. He's too perfect. prettyer with flaws. With flaws, he's so symmetrical.
Starting point is 01:32:24 Fuck him, fuck him. I say he's draining the stars. Fire the damn deal with their weapon. Ah, yes, okay. Help me get- Hold on one second. Peggy, help me get a lock-up. Yeah, hold on one second.
Starting point is 01:32:33 I'm gonna set up a camera. Hello, my little peglings. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to cancel the stream, but I got something super special for you. Make sure to donate, like, subscribe. And I'm gonna hit, you know, everything that I've got and just set it up for everyone to watch. What's happening here with this.
Starting point is 01:32:49 Pee-P-Ping! Ah! It might be the end of the world. I don't know to tell you. My favorite slutty v. We didn't cancel a stream. I guess we'll P&P us. A stream of you guys in the cockpit in that.
Starting point is 01:33:06 All right. I can multitask. Well, I guess maybe we can also get a, also get some clips of Sewer Surfer. And I guess a guy in the family. I guess some clips there going. to keep my ADHD fried brain engaged on the mission. Oh, some Cavalon father, Cavalon father.
Starting point is 01:33:27 Oh, yes, of course, perfect. All right. Now I'm locked in. Peggy, help me get a lock on this guy. As you all feel the, as you're getting closer and closer, as you hear the surge of the, of all of the doomsday devices that have been just thrown unceremoniously into a burlap sack in the cannons in the mouth of the Wygore cop. Peggy's live streaming the potential end of the galaxy.
Starting point is 01:33:58 That's crazy. That is pretty crazy. Somewhere on the other side of the Rhapsody. What the heck is this? This can't be real. You get every virus no in demand? That's very funny. Oh.
Starting point is 01:34:19 What do you want me to do? I mean, I got the live stream going. What exactly are you asking for? Oh, thank you so much for the 50 note. You see that a username called XXX, Mega Destroyer XXXXX has donated, donated, Oh, thank you, Mega Destroyer.
Starting point is 01:34:43 5,000 flies. Oh my God, 5,000 flies! There's no there's no one that just it's show feet. I don't watch a stupid sight. Yeah, but there is this is the other world. There's no word.
Starting point is 01:34:57 that's real. I think that's just computer graphics. No, it's verified. Look, you can see the little green check. No, no, that's all, it's all bullshit, Ziggy. Stop fucking polluting your brain. I'm sure there's no such thing as the door of truth. I know better than anyone that this isn't real. But not to trust what you see on you. But look, wait, how did Mega Destroyer give all these notes? Do you think that the highest stakes threat to the Stardust Rhapsody is really going to be solved by a bunch of fucking
Starting point is 01:35:34 bitlings. The theme cuts out. As, Peggy, I need you to make a computer check at advantage. As Hazel, I need you to make a piloting, a vehicles
Starting point is 01:35:50 check. I imagine while Ziggy's watching, like, do the dad thing. We're like, at first we're not interested. Dexterity and then double your picture. But then you start watching and like, we're standing behind the couch. We slowly get absorbed into this dream over time. We can't help ourselves. That's a rat so handsome.
Starting point is 01:36:04 I don't know. I feel like we missed a few episodes. That was really bad. You're at a advantage, though. Huh? You're at a vantage. Oh, thank gold. 22. That's better.
Starting point is 01:36:16 Okay. Plus Degg's plus proficiency is 18. 18. Yeah. I would say with that, you're able to steady the the Y-Workopter. As you feel, Almost like, the motions are so fluid. It's not like they're your own anymore.
Starting point is 01:36:40 It's like a dream. As you hear, Yes, yes, steady. Trust your instincts. Thanks, Bumble. Trust your hunger. Oh, we shall waste. As you steady, the Wigor Copter,
Starting point is 01:37:05 as Peggy, suddenly the entire cockpit, turns to that glitching bright red of your virus as all of the malware lock-on system that you got from the very deep web, the deep grid that have infected this machine are now hyper-locked on this grand homunculus Titan as you press fire and you see the, you're all in the eyes of the Y-Gore head
Starting point is 01:37:36 in the cockpit. As you'll hear, as even though this is a burlap sack, you see a pixelated glow that starts as white and blue as it kind of gets just bigger and bigger and bigger. As if just in CAD, they just clicked the corner and dragged it and just scale it. Yeah, just scale it to just scale it as it gets bigger and bigger. But you see the burlap sack in the center of this.
Starting point is 01:38:03 And then as it crashes. in to the back of this homunculus, and you see, no one, if Peggy wasn't streaming this, no one would believe what is the absolute war crimes that are unleashed upon this homunculus of the horrific chemical, biological, they're just a bunch of bees.
Starting point is 01:38:31 Everything. It is a combination of every doom's dead. It is a combination of every doomsday. device and negative power up that Wyor has that blasts into him and you see him stumble back as there's a massive surge of his power that lashes out as the door itself starts to crack and starts to crack along the geometric patterns that form this great eye. He said, I'll fucking show him. I knew it!
Starting point is 01:39:08 I knew it! Now you all need to need to kill him, okay, let's just inject the employee protocol. As you suddenly feel grasping metal
Starting point is 01:39:23 claws, grab all around you. And yes, you are. And the Wygorkopter flies over and says, all right, good luck, he's weakened. As you see now that as he's stumbled, back, there's almost the cracks that form on the door itself starts to form on his starry,
Starting point is 01:39:46 almost statue-like face. Damn. As, and then it glows, the cracks start to glow with this radiant power. As you feel the claws grab you and then suddenly these cartoonish holes open up on the floor. as you are all just jettisoned, and one after the other, you all are just rocketed towards, ah, good luck,
Starting point is 01:40:15 this is all I can think of. I'm gonna kill you! As you are jettisoned towards the homunculus. And although he's been hit by every sort of doomsday device known to man, he still steps back gracefully. There's no look of fear. He just looks at you with boredom.
Starting point is 01:40:46 As he says, you still don't know what it means to be bitling. That much is clear. A mere nuisance until I consume all of the stars and become a perfect being. As he raises his hand out and his eyes flashed. and he says,
Starting point is 01:41:10 you have been marked for annihilation. Oh, shit. As you all begin to feel yourselves, I don't know how to say this. You start to be unmade. Oh, God. I'm gonna turn my stop novice towards me. Guys, yeah, I don't know what to tell you,
Starting point is 01:41:35 but I think I'm being unmade. I'm gonna be, oh my, please, please. Please make sure like and like and subscribe. and donate, oh my God! As you feel almost as if your fay, like, it's not code from the hypergrid, but the digital pha, like magical, magical polygons and pixels that form your body,
Starting point is 01:41:57 start to get deleted. Are we like actually like melting away? As you start to, absolutely. But then suddenly you feel as you see, the fleshy Eldritch, fruit-like berry material lash out from Hazel's tail as it connects to you Booker,
Starting point is 01:42:21 and then to you Bitsy, and then to you grumbling, then to you, Petty, and then finally to the ancestral hero of how Chanticleer, as it starts to consume, as suddenly you all get, the unmaking ceases,
Starting point is 01:42:35 as you all start to suddenly lose yourself, and everything is dark as you get wrapped up until this fleshy, this fleshiness that undulates and slithers all around you and it feels cold like you're in deep water. As you all hear the voice and says, we are hungry, we will consume.
Starting point is 01:43:05 As you suddenly gain your sense, senses again as a massive, titanic, gelatinous, eldritch horror slams into the side of the mountain. It's the same size of this colossus before you as you all have assimilated into Bumble, and Bumble is hungry. I ever want to roll for initiative. Oh my gosh. Bumble stopped her on making. Oh my God, I got a natural 19. Um, I got a natural 9. I got a natural 19. Nice. We're gonna take, I need just an apocalyptic map that's on top of an Olympian-type mountain with the door of truth on one side. So we are like on the summit of a mountain?
Starting point is 01:43:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's nothing but like stardust surrounding it like clouds. You get the sense that there is no actual base of this mountain. First of all, great job, Andy. This is great. We're on a mountain peak surrounded by the swirling agathos. Can we give it up to Wild Blue Studios for these beautiful art of just amazing Agathos concept art? Man, that's great. This will represent the Monculus.
Starting point is 01:44:27 And then this is the art of, this is a Shorgath. This is basically, it's a gargantuan, a gargantuan aberration that's effectively the result of a third impact style. cataclysm on a world that was inhabited by the elder species of the galaxy and it's a shrieking, devouring nightmare. They will be piloting a version of this creature. So we're just all in this guy here. And so to explain how this is going to work
Starting point is 01:45:03 is that you all have your own initiative. Bumble has his own initiative. Bumble is that creature. As soon as you can still move about and leave, you can either pilot the entire creature together, or you can step out, and as you move,
Starting point is 01:45:21 you create a line tethering you to the creature. So you basically Bumble can grow and shrink, depending on how you move. Almost like tentacles of a terrible cracken. I think putting it, like, putting it another way, right, is let's say for whatever reason we end up like this, you can imagine that the size of this creature
Starting point is 01:45:39 on the map would be like this shit. Yep, like an amoeba. Yes, this crazy amoebas. D'Gansuan is 4x4 plus Don't they say that like technically the trash would be like 15 by 15 Like technically something like that?
Starting point is 01:45:54 I mean if you actually were to Yeah if you were to take a 5 by 5 square and actually like blow it up to the proper scale We can't do that on a map. We have to use our imaginations. And you know what? Let's All right. I got a 9. Oh, dear.
Starting point is 01:46:13 Okay, let's do. Did you have your initiative? What do you mean? Did you add the We Are Bumble initiative? Oh! We add We are BOR! Oh! I missed that too. Oh my God, I didn't.
Starting point is 01:46:25 You definitely get a nine. I didn't. Oh. So we add, hold on that. Under We are Bumble. There's a bunch of rules for this. But where does it say that we get to use? Well, we are Bumble.
Starting point is 01:46:37 I know it says that we use their... But it's the PCs use their own... Oh, that's their own AC. I thought that was just for... Or the We are Bumble's its own thing. Does Bumble get its own? It doesn't anything about initiative. Each PC rules is normal.
Starting point is 01:46:48 I know, but I think as individuals we use our own initiative and then as a, is that right? I think for this, it's our own initiative. For us, for this point. Okay. 2025. I got a 23. 22. Okay. And you got a 19 plus 4, so you're also 20.
Starting point is 01:47:08 I ruled a 3. You did not get a 19. Okay. 10 to 15. 17. I got a 13. 13. Okay. Sorry. 15 to 20.
Starting point is 01:47:17 17. Sorry. Okay. Hazel. You got a 13? 13, yeah. Okay, Grumley and John Claude. What do you got? Seven.
Starting point is 01:47:25 Nine. Oh, wow. They were already in order. Perfect. Wow. Bumble got a natural 20. Hell you. Also, plus 20.
Starting point is 01:47:35 32. 32. 32. Holy. Holy. The Bumble's going first. Let's roll for Mr. Homunculus.
Starting point is 01:47:44 Wow. It's Mr. Hymonguels. Thank you, Dan Dillon, our lead game designer for what we've got to pilot here. This is wild. This is wild. Stay tuned for a Patreon, and we'll eventually drop this. We'll definitely have to put this on Patreon for sure. This is tight.
Starting point is 01:48:01 And this is a retooled Shorgath by Henneau Vargas and the Atlassian Annihilator by Brandis. Nice. Stoddard. Wow. Class of Titans. That's awesome. Holy shit. Hold on, let me just, where is my initiative?
Starting point is 01:48:20 Sorry. Oh, wow. A nine. So I'm going to basically say Jean-Claude's last. I'm putting him above. Okay. This is the initiative. As with a very good initiative,
Starting point is 01:48:40 you all see this colossus, this colossal homunculus, looking at you, the same kind of cracks along the door behind him, forming on his body, as he says, your unholy alliance cannot stop the opening of the door of truth. As Bumble says, But my hunger can.
Starting point is 01:49:10 As this mat, you feel yourself all lurk forward, as the creature that you are now all hive-minded into lunges forward as he's really back here yeah that's what we want
Starting point is 01:49:25 that's what you want and it's gonna make let's just double check all it's all of our due diligence to remember that we have whispering aura so when it's the homunculus's turn if he starts within 10 feet of us he's gonna get
Starting point is 01:49:38 whisperer damage here I'm just gonna going to do a big bite attack. Natural 20. Oh, no. Wow. Okay. This molecule doesn't stand a chance. It's the crab dice. I'm telling you. No, that is. I'm using the crab dice. I'm happy to track HP unless we just all want to do it. If you could help me track the, if you want to age, yeah, I'm happy to extract. I'm happy to try that. You are bumble. I do have a question here, though, that if, because I can heal multiple people,
Starting point is 01:50:11 so would that be like every person that I heal just all of that health goes towards are a tool? I would think so. Yeah. If you're hitting individuals you... It's the only thing that wasn't addressed to you. When you heal, it'll go to Bumble first. When you get hit, it goes to Bumble first. And so all of the healing that you... You're not going to take individual damage until Bumble is
Starting point is 01:50:30 once the H.P. is dropped, you're then on your own. And you get your stat blocks again. So, I mean, we'll worry about that then when I... But like, my guess my point is, if I'm multi-healing people while we're all Bumble... Yeah, we just add all of that hit points healing to Bumbles, HB. Yes. Okay. Yep. All right, cool.
Starting point is 01:50:48 Sorry, 10. Yeah, you're good, man. I'm distracted. 10, 18, 20, 23, 30, 32 points of piercing damage. To the homunculus.
Starting point is 01:51:09 Nice. Oh. Oh, those things. No, we bumble at first. Fast. Damn, baby. And that is, his turn. He's a huge chump as it seems to actually,
Starting point is 01:51:25 despite him being an ascended celestial being, this aberration you have allied with is seeking to consume it. Booker, it's your turn. I am going to, do I feel like, how do I feel in this moment? Do I feel like I know the thoughts and feelings of my companions are the only things I think and feel are Bumble. What you're feeling is Bumble and yourself.
Starting point is 01:51:49 But I feel like I have control. You feel like you have control. You can move forward, you can separate it, you can lash out. I begin to like tentacle slime outwards as I move a little bit away from the Bumble mass to try to make sure that this thing can't get too far away from us. And I have to remain within 40 feet of the Bumble mass, which I will do.
Starting point is 01:52:09 But then from this part of me that is also Bumble, a whipping tentacle will lash out as I use tentacle and make a melee attack roll which has a reach of 20 feet. 29 to hit. That'll hit. That's going to do 3D6 plus 8 psychic damage.
Starting point is 01:52:34 One, two, three. Whoops. Not bad. 18 plus 8 is 26 points of psychic damage as I am mentally linked with Bumble and my friends and I lash out at the at the homunculus. It is a, not a huge or smaller creature,
Starting point is 01:53:00 so it does not have the grappled condition, but we are bumble can pull the target, can pull itself 15 feet towards the target if we need to. I'm not going to do that. We're already basically in melee range. I'm flanking it so that the homunculus can't run away. I'm not going to use any of the tentacles extra features, and that's my turn.
Starting point is 01:53:20 You, musician, jazz cannot save the galaxy. as he points at you and uses reaction and uses marked for annihilation. I can use, I can use, that's messed up. Can I use iconic inspiration as bonus action? Yeah. I'm gonna give Hazel iconic inspiration, which will be a D6 that you can use for almost anything in the next 10 minutes. And I have four iconic inspirations left, and that's actually my turn.
Starting point is 01:53:52 He's gonna use a reaction to mark you for annihilation. And suddenly there's the part that is Booker in this fleshy amalgam glows with this starry light. As you are marked and attacks against you are at advantage and you can't enjoy the invisible condition. I don't think you wanna try to get the invisible condition. No. But he's then gonna use a legendary action
Starting point is 01:54:23 and to use a falling star to make one Starfire strike attack. Damn. Against you. Against you. You feel it and then suddenly the sky itself opens and stars as he's pulling them in, starts to actually fall and you see them being ripped out of the sky as they crash down. My EC is 15. My EC is the same as Bumbles. Quab dice with an 18 and a 19. Oh my God. He hits Starfall and pulls every mob in the room.
Starting point is 01:54:54 You're not allowed to use quab dice. I may stop actually. This may get out of hand. I can give you some of my shitty dice. I'd be like. I got new shitty guys with your name on it, Michael. I've been rolling hot since last year. I got to imagine his plus is massive. Yeah, well, I got it. And he also, he also crits on two plus. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:14 Just give him your cell marks, guys. 14. Oh my God, I literally have them right here. I forgot about that. Like hot swapped him without I'm known. Oh, shit. He, like, 26 points of radiant damage. Oh, fine.
Starting point is 01:55:26 And blinded until the beginning of my next turn. No, unironically. So are we all blinded? These are just multiple. No, no, just bubble. Okay. And like, but the damage goes to Bumble. So you can be track of that, right?
Starting point is 01:55:38 Yeah, me, they got it. Thematically, these dice were really powerful for this guy. I wrote it down. We're not resistant. I'm gonna use the poros dice. Hell yeah. Oh, it's like we're perfectly. With that, Biddy started.
Starting point is 01:55:51 It works. Our plan works. Nice job. I start babbling. We'll never expect it. Speaking of cryptic language and murmuring the secrets of the Rhapsody as I slip out like Booker from the side of Bumble, like the tomato out of the back of a sandwich.
Starting point is 01:56:13 And I will shuffle the sleeves of my long black robes up to my shoulders and I'll say, Bumble! Bumble! And lightning will crackle out of my fingers as I cast withering lightning. I hurl a bolt of lightning towards this creature. And I'm going to get a... 16 to hit? 16 does not hit. 16 doesn't hit.
Starting point is 01:56:50 It goes wide. Well, it still crashes into him, but the lightning tethers to him, but it doesn't do the immediate burst of damage. I'll be able to bonus action that on subsequent turns, which is the only reason why I didn't use Bumble's tremendous abilities. We haven't used the legendary action yet, however, and I'm wondering if, as part of our group negotiation, I know we only have three of these over the course of an entire round. So because I missed, I'm...
Starting point is 01:57:20 Feel free. I'm asking the rest of the gang if I'm... Is it all right if I use a lashing burst? Riff it, dude. Lashing burst won't affect us because we are Bumble, correct? Correct. Do we want to grapple him? I don't know if that's going to help. I'll just have him make the...
Starting point is 01:57:39 No, grappled is actually... That's good. That's good? That's good. Okay. I will... That lightning creates a target, like a reticle, on the surface of the homunculus, creating an easy target as the front of this Bumble creature lashes forward,
Starting point is 01:58:01 and you're going to need to have the homunculus make a... Dexterity saving throw for me. There's no way. The porous dynes. I am not shitting you. When I say my first roll is a natural one. Poorest nights. Eat shit.
Starting point is 01:58:20 Eat shit. What if I do? They're beautiful. They're beautiful. What have I done? They're beautiful stuff. They cannot roll higher than a two. They're horrific.
Starting point is 01:58:31 What's the, uh... Grimably, you have the ability to be like, nah, if you want to shake it off. I am going to be doing that. Yeah, yeah. I have five legendary. very resistance. Oh, my goodness. Oh, we gotta burn two.
Starting point is 01:58:41 And that's my turn. Massive tendrils start to wrap around the Colossus. And you see as his hair, his flowing mane of hair rises, and in a burst of light, it disintegrates. As you all hear bumble go, ah, it's kisses as the flesh. Oh, we definitely feel it. We feel it. The pain is at cracks, one of his lenders and says,
Starting point is 01:59:07 my flesh, sizzles and burns. Okay. That's very evil. Yeah, well, we are Bumble. We are Bumble. It says right here on the fucking StapL. It does say that. We are Bumble.
Starting point is 01:59:19 You control this thing, Hazel. Oh, Derek, you said that's my turn. No, that's our turn. That's our turn. You're a Bumble. It's up. It's me. Wait, wait, he's thinking.
Starting point is 01:59:32 Oh, he may have an offer here. He might do a thing. He might do a thing. So we've used one legendary action this round. We're not. Bumble's layer, because we only get three. We only have three. We're probably in the, that's why he's got five.
Starting point is 01:59:46 Because they're in his layer. Yeah, we certainly are. As you see as he looks at this creature and he says, you cannot swallow the stars themselves. As he shimmers and fades, I use realign the stars. What a great name? He teleports to one side of the mountain on the opposite it's like just behind us.
Starting point is 02:00:14 Yeah, behind you. And, damn, we're trying to flank him. Yep. So here's a question. If Bumble begins to move and we get with, like, away from 40 feet from him, do we just move with Bumble? I hope for it.
Starting point is 02:00:28 He's going to remove because you physically can't go further away. Otherwise this. He's going to remove his acid immunity to gain... Hold on. Oh my God, this is fucked up. To gain a new immunity. know what damage type it is before you choose it?
Starting point is 02:00:44 Probably not. I would keep that a secret if I would gain's another immunity. Yeah, there you know. As he shifts. Okay, that's his second limited reaction. Oh gosh. Okay. We have a lot of immunity ourselves though. In that case, I am going to and we speak Kada. Two damage, immunities and tons of condition immunities. I am going to, as a bonus as a unlock my unbound sigh. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Starting point is 02:01:18 And then I'm going to tentacle my way out here a bit. Yeah. And I'm going to, I'm going to use a symbiote lash. Yes. Okay. And I'm going to do that at advantage. Hell yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 02:01:48 Okay, yeah. You might just ask first. 17 to hit. 17, that misses. Okay. As it lashes out. Yeah, hold on. I've got a-
Starting point is 02:01:59 Cache in on Bardo or I kind of against the person. 20. 20 misses. Ah. Should I use a thing? No. If you want to use a legendary action. Fire away.
Starting point is 02:02:13 Use a legendary action. My bumbles. Let me think here. Uh, we definitely want to work space before he goes, right? I think so. Yeah, do it, right? I mean, there's no way
Starting point is 02:02:30 he's not immune to poison, right? We don't know. I mean, might as well. Yeah. That's fair. No, he just said that he got rid of... Acid. Acid. Okay. I think we should wait on chomp in case someone can make
Starting point is 02:02:44 us advantage on the chomp because they seem so high. I think it's worth warping space. Okay. What do I have to do? Say you'd like to warp space. So we're gonna choose a 15-foot radius sphere centered on a point within 60 feet of We-R Bumble becomes warped. The effect persists for a minute and We-R Bumble
Starting point is 02:03:07 can't take this action again to the Starfish next turn. Any other creature in the sphere when it appears, blah, blah, blah. He's gonna, so I would say do it like in front of him. So it's like a 15-foot thing here, and he's gonna have to make a DC-17 Constitution saving throw. Okay. Wow. Con?
Starting point is 02:03:26 Yeah. There's no way. Well, uh, that's a 13. So he'll fail, and if you're, if you can, you gain the poison conditions will start of its next turn. Oh, your speeds halved. Otherwise, regardless your speed is halfed. Yeah, so either way, he's going to heal the poison. Huh. Not immune to poisoned. Yeah, but it doesn't matter as Poison conditions will start off its next turn. I don't know. She's going to fall off immediately. Oh, it's next turn. Well, no, and then I'm using legendary resistance regardless. Okay. As the massive breach of void emerges beneath this colossus,
Starting point is 02:04:11 as once again you see the burst of starlight rupture out. The speed is still have regardless though, I believe. Does he get radius? Yeah. Yep. Because it'll last a minute. With that, it's Peggy's turn. What is that area that you just put down? Yes, it's a minute. It's warped space. So then when it starts its turn,
Starting point is 02:04:43 it's going to have to roll again. Any other creature in the sphere when it appears that enters the air for the first time during a turn or that starts its turn there is subject to the following effect. Yep. Okay, cool. So we can move through. We are bumble. It doesn't affect us. But it is Peggy's turn.
Starting point is 02:05:00 Well, first. Thank you so much for the win, 1337, and 10 tickle, 6969 for the flies. We are going to be able to. to survive this and then I'm gonna I want to move forward. So for the people who are not, no, I want to move Bumble. Oh yeah. I'm not getting out of them. We are Bumble.
Starting point is 02:05:19 I don't think you can move the full. Yeah, it says on, it says that we can. Yeah, yeah, we can. Oh, you can. Yeah, absolutely. Oh. Can use its speed or Wabs, but must remain within 40 feet of another part of Bumble at all times. Oh.
Starting point is 02:05:32 No, I don't think we move Bumble. I think Bumble moves itself. We can move, we can either use Bumble speed if it's fast than our own, but we have to move. I would say for this, you can move the creature as well, because you are part of the hive mind. That's fine, by me. Bumble, that's great.
Starting point is 02:05:47 Well, it doesn't, so, okay, so I have a question. For the people who aren't inside of Bumble, do they still count as being part of Bumbleway? Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so if I wanted you use Whales of the Consumed. I think that's a great idea. Okay. I would like to, I would like to, for for the win, 1337, I would like to use whales of the consumed.
Starting point is 02:06:09 Okay, how does that one? Do you want to move before you do it? You don't even need to. No, I don't need to. No, I don't need to. It's a 120 foot emination. I mean, it's the full fucking mat. Yeah, I don't need to move.
Starting point is 02:06:16 So. You want to read the feature. Yeah, whales of the consumed, recharges on a five or six. We are Bumble opens its innumerable mouths and whales. It's a charisma saving throw, DC 20. Each creature in a 120 foot emanation originating from We Are Bumble and that can hear it.
Starting point is 02:06:32 And then a failure is psychic damage and the target gets an exhaustion level. I highly recommend that we all, And then half damage only. We only be charges on a five and six. He means that we're all going to do the wail. We all have to be one of the innumerable mouth, so we're all going to have to wail.
Starting point is 02:06:50 Ha! A lot of Moismo? Yes, D620. So if he passes us, I'm gonna fucking soldier. Because it hasn't happened once yet this whole campaign. Oh, really? I literally got a 19. There you go.
Starting point is 02:07:11 I guess I'm not sold it. I'm using another legendary Okay, that's three. I totally have damage, though. You take half damage on a success, yeah. So you got to roll 4012. Yes, I just did. Stupid anis.
Starting point is 02:07:23 This is fun. This is really fun. This is a great twift. Whoops. I love this. You see as... 33 psychic damage. 33, and that's half, journal?
Starting point is 02:07:33 But then half. Okay, got it. So... 16. 16. That was for you, for the win, 1337. You see as, and you feel and you hear this, as this screeching wails, as you almost hear like the, this horrible, like, this strange gibbering, that then starts to kind of ring out, and the shrieking turns into the gibbering and you almost hear this, oh, like this strange song.
Starting point is 02:08:21 This strange ancient song that he's singing as you see a crack start to form on the homunculus's forehead. As once again a burst of Starlight, he just three out of his five legendary resistances. We have one legendary action left between the two of. And remember that. Oh. Did we do the- No, that was just a normal action? We've made two legendary actions.
Starting point is 02:08:44 Oh, he's gonna use the last one? And- Yeah. Starlight strike on. So at the start of his turn, he has to make a Constitution saving throw it for the warp's face. But it's not a turn yet. Using a legendary action to attack you.
Starting point is 02:08:57 You're still advantage, yes, man. Yep, yep. That is going to be a 23 to hit. My age season's like 15. Okay. Did Bumble move? No. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:12 Well, he controls Bumble. No, no, no, but I thought we just- Mikesy said that we can move Bumble. Yeah. We should have two more turns. Right, right, right. We're up. If we had moved him in within 10-8,
Starting point is 02:09:21 then he would have gotten whispering order. Yeah. Tend... No, as long as it... This is identical. This is part of the process. Yeah, you're right, you're right. That's why we're spreading out.
Starting point is 02:09:31 God, damn, thank you. Yes. Okay. Andy knows. We all count. We all count. We all count. Let's fucking go. Andy's more like the dexterous pointer figure.
Starting point is 02:09:42 25 points of radiant damage. I'm a dumb pinky. As it lashes and smash at once again, another star, he raised up his finger, another star, crashes down into Booker. Booker specifically. Okay, with that,
Starting point is 02:09:55 It is... It is... Oh, it's a homunculus' turn. So now he has to make a Constitution D.C. Saving throw. He's 17. Constitution's a saving throw. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. And then it wins them saving throw.
Starting point is 02:10:06 That's correct. There's no way. What level are we? Level three? That's a nine. That fails. Yes, look at the poison condition if he's not immune to it.
Starting point is 02:10:16 And his speed is had. He's not immune. So he's poisoned. Then... I have to. I have to. I have to. I have to. That's four. That's four. Then he's got to make a wisdom saving throw at EC18.
Starting point is 02:10:31 Okay, poor must die. Okay. Okay. We're going to... 2D6 psychic damage. Whoever would like to roll it. That's a natural one. Oh, man.
Starting point is 02:10:45 Yeah, 2D6. Five. Five second damage. Five second damage? Yep. Which we don't know what his resistance or immunity is. Hmm. That is everything that we have is for pre-turn actions.
Starting point is 02:10:58 Michael, you may go. No response. It was... You pay the one. You see the psychic damage as the as the damage that you thought would have been done
Starting point is 02:11:10 suddenly he seems to be immune to it because that was the damage that was selected for his shift. Thank you. What else happens on that? That's it. You're poisoned. You didn't take any damage because you're immune, but and your speed is that.
Starting point is 02:11:24 Oh, it was also the... Well, no, I think you resisted that, right? I resisted it at the poison condition. What was the wisdom saving? That was for the damage, for psychic damage. Okay, got it, got it. The whales and the consumed was also psychic damage. That's what I mean.
Starting point is 02:11:39 So was the whispering R. They're both psychic. So that means you shouldn't have taken any of that damage if you're immune to it. Yeah. Instead of 16, you would have taken zero. Oh, okay. Yes, because the whales of the consumer and the whispered are both psychic damage. Roger that. Roger that. Okay, cool. Got it. Okay, cool. Roger that.
Starting point is 02:11:57 With that, he is going to look at... His speed. Oh, does he not take the speed being halved either, failure or success? Do we know if he, like, you resist it? I would assume. He still half. Speed still have. Because it just assumes that he succeeds.
Starting point is 02:12:10 Yes, yes, that's what I resist. Got it. No matter what the speed is still hatch. Got it. Until he'd tell him once. What a nerd. He then, he will step back out of the, uh, his speed is 90. I mean, he didn't go in it.
Starting point is 02:12:30 Well, so it'll be 45. He's going to leap over back to the door of truth. He leaps forward. His calves are enormous. Oh, my God. With perfect form. And as he looks over you, he extends a hand, and he says, all of this will be extinct.
Starting point is 02:12:52 As he uses extinction burst. Okay. Every single one of you needs to make a DC-22 Constitution saving throw. It's a massive bomb. We're near you, though, right? Is that 1D4? Oh, man. I'm not, well, I'm not near you.
Starting point is 02:13:10 Unless we know we know it's like, I mean, if we're all. We use our own stats. If we're all Bumble, I'd assume, are we using Bumble a save or are we using our own save? Oh, which is higher. Oh, yeah, well, Bumble, Bumbles. Bumbles has to be better than mine. Oh, Bumbles is absolutely.
Starting point is 02:13:26 I crush it. And then what do I get with you? It's a plus D4. So it's plus a D4. So it's plus a D4. If it counts. That's up to you, Mike. We're close enough.
Starting point is 02:13:37 You and Grumley are definitely close enough. But do we count being part of Bumble away from the main bubble? I'm giving like an eternal order. Yeah. And if you want to say that they're... Yeah. You're all part of the same thing. Yes.
Starting point is 02:13:47 All right. This is going to be close one. Gis T22. Oh, I pass. I don't pass. Actually, kind of barely. I do not pass. I got a 21.
Starting point is 02:13:59 Ooh. I got a 30. I have a bunch of Bumble. You are Bumble. I am Bumble. You're going, 8D6 radiant damage.
Starting point is 02:14:11 Uh-oh. I'm going to get merged here. Sorry, guys. I'm really bringing down the team average here. I got a 17. That's so did I. This is just eviscerating, man.
Starting point is 02:14:21 15, 20, 26, 29. 29 points of radiant damage. That all goes to Bumble. So basically, however much. So it all doubles up. Is it half of you... How many people failed?
Starting point is 02:14:38 Well, wait. How do you want to allocate this damage? So we're all taking the damage, but it goes against that help pool. One time? No, so each of us are going to take damage from Bumble. How many people failed? How many people failed? I failed.
Starting point is 02:14:49 So that'll be almost 90 damage. 90 minus 3 is 87 points of damage. Okay. Then the same amount in half, because it's pass, pass, pass. 87 and half is 43. Yeah. So 90. Eighty-seven plus 43 is a hundred and thirty points of damage.
Starting point is 02:15:07 Got. Almost a looking so good. And you see as the door of the eye on the door of truth flares and you feel a beam from its iris marked onto you and because you failed, so everyone who failed going forward
Starting point is 02:15:29 it needs to make a DC-22 dexterity saving throw or take four. 4010 radiant damage at the start of each of your turns. So the only other thing that we could do is use a legendary resistance to have that. Corridate. Oh, yeah. So instead of it being 130, we reduce it by another 43. Oh, we use three resistances.
Starting point is 02:15:52 Well, that's my question. We are a bumble. Can we all just pass? Yeah, yeah, 100%? With one? Or do we have to use that? No, I would imagine if you're three. Then it's probably not worth it.
Starting point is 02:16:01 If no, if we're gonna chunked, three, three, this guy didn't last so much damage. I can tell you, 140s almost one shot of us. 140 is almost a cold. I think we should burn them all. Yes. I think we should burn all over. I would recommend burning them. Yes.
Starting point is 02:16:13 Then I would recommend. Reduce the damage reduced by 43, which puts us at like names. It was 37, so 37 times two. Oh no, just back to 87. Just add. It's back to 87. Yeah. Because it's just the, the total amount of damage half.
Starting point is 02:16:27 Yeah. So has anyone fail or did you burn all? We all three. One passed. We all pass. Yes, we all pass. So none of you are marked for extinction. Yes. Very well. That would be very bad. Yes. Okay. We're good. We have no more legendary. Okay. So these are all, I'm gonna just exit this out. God, I'm gonna- As you, as this extinction and he says, we were here before this, we will be here after.
Starting point is 02:16:54 There is no extinction for what was here. As you all hear Bumble's voice. as it ranges against the homunculus. With that, that's his full turn. And that's a rechargeability five to six. We'll see if he gets the next turn. Grumley are up. That's good. Okay.
Starting point is 02:17:14 Hold on. Hold on. I'm just reading here. We still have an action left? We have one legendary action left. Yes. All right. He's got one resistance. We have one legendary action left.
Starting point is 02:17:26 I'm just looking here. All of our saves are gone. All of our legendary resistances are on. I'm just looking here. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Tenticle. Which one does more damage here? Is it the bite or the tentacle? The immunity is gone, by the way. Immunity's gone. Psychic damage. Oh, yeah. We just don't, we don't technically know.
Starting point is 02:17:48 I mean, unless we know the psychic damage is gone, it's just the piercing versus psychic. So I guess we all have 40 feet of movement. I am going to extend out one and a half, two and a half, three and a half, four and a half,
Starting point is 02:18:09 and you are going to see grumly connected to this thing, say, gosh, is it clear that like the cracks on the door are, like, reflecting on him as well? I'd say that's very obvious. What did Scruff McGruff always say?
Starting point is 02:18:31 Take a bite out of a Galaxy ending horrible abomination! And I am going to reach out and send Bumble out and make a bite attack, and I'm gonna bonus action smite if I hit on the door of truth, if I can. You may? Holy shit.
Starting point is 02:18:54 Damn. Oh, no. I don't know what AC it might have. We know it's at least 20. It's probably 21. The door? The door. I don't know if the door has a... Well, considering it's like an ancient
Starting point is 02:19:09 unknowable artifact, it's probably pretty hard to crack. 17? Let me see if there's anything else I can do. Oh, wait, hold on. Well, let's see. 17 to hit the door. 17 does have. Oh, poop. And it's going to be guided by my
Starting point is 02:19:35 cybernetic enhancements as there's like these sort of, this like yellow laser energy will smash in. And it's going to chomp at the door, this giant bumble mouth will reach out. It'll be charged. And then, and I'm going to take a bite
Starting point is 02:19:53 out of my digital video game payment currency. And I'm going to bite into one of my digibones. And I'm going to do the digital archetype strong. Additionally, once for a turn when you hit a target with an attack roll, I can expend a token to push the target up to 20 feet away, and the target was an object that takes double damage from my attack.
Starting point is 02:20:16 Nice. Yeah, that's huge. So I would like to, if I can, smite, bite this door, and double the damage. You can use your species and class and subclass features to empower Bumble. Exactly right. Oh my God. Hold on. What a move. It is going to be 5D8, because I'm smiting.
Starting point is 02:20:34 I'm smiting. I'm smiting. Uh, one, two, is you know any D8s I can borrow? Here, there's three. Because I'm gonna need them as well. Wait, one, two, yeah, that's fine. Five. It was pretty good, that's pretty good. 33 points of damage, mix of piercing and radiant.
Starting point is 02:21:03 Okay. Uh, doubled. So 66 points of damage. 66 to the points of damage. As soon as this, fleshy tentacle ignites with your digital energy from your cyberguard power. It lugs and smashes into it.
Starting point is 02:21:28 And what Bumble is, is anathema to this thing. And you get the sense that well Bumble can damage it if Bumble goes away, you won't be able to touch it at all. So only Bumble's attacks can actually do anything to this. As it smashes into it, and cracks go run up the side of this, as you actually see the homunculus almost stumble. And it's so slight,
Starting point is 02:21:56 but he kind of stumbles and winces a little bit and puts his fist against his forehead. And the eyes open, and he says, The door of truth is meant to be opened. Ultimate knowledge to be gained. You know not what it takes to be a bitling. You know not what it takes to be a god! As, uh, he looks at you grumbling.
Starting point is 02:22:30 And uses his legendary action to, um... I should have low an initiative, man. I got, I shouldn't have gone first. Uh... You can support, right? You want to... I just fucking scraped it, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:22:43 I wish you could just choose to be like, like, I got one. Yeah. We'll make it. We've got to survive. We just got to survive. He's going to use another foreign star attack on you.
Starting point is 02:22:55 He's just trying to trunk you down. Thank God an 18 plus a bejillion. Plus 14. That's going to hit for sure. Uh-huh. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah. I can't do anything in this, though. Can't do anything else that.
Starting point is 02:23:12 15. Mace, do you add stuff passively to your damage? 23. 23. Why? I think you need to be the one to chomp. 30 points of radiant damage.
Starting point is 02:23:29 Oh. 30 points of radiant damage. 30 points of radiant damage, oh. Oh, oh, no, we're alive. Come on, come on. We're alive. Get to my turn. It's about to be.
Starting point is 02:23:40 Who's next after? It's on clock. And you are blinded, but because of Bumble, I'm gonna say that you can say. We just have to survive that turn because we'll get to go again. and we're gonna heal up. I didn't realize this.
Starting point is 02:23:56 What? Oh no. Okay. Okay, never right. No, hold on, we're good. We're good. You're blind until the beginning of next turn. Never mind. I am. Or everyone is. You are. I am. Okay. We have blind sight, 30 feet.
Starting point is 02:24:12 Don't look at it in the door, Trude. No, we have blind sight. Bumble has blind sight. I don't need to see. I've got Judge Dread eyes or some shit. Your visor. Mr. Ancestral Hero, how I say, I say, don't... With that, it's John Clost. You're not doing anything?
Starting point is 02:24:40 Okay. I just did. I just did. That was one reaction. Perfect. I will... Boom, boom, boom, boom. Uh, race forward, creating the stretched out tentacle and say,
Starting point is 02:24:53 Ah, say, homunculus, you think you know what it is to be a god, but you are just a thing. You have lived and you will die. We'll do a couple things, as I race forward. Understanding that I'm in my eternal form after the long rest, I'm still gonna mechanically surge here. Yeah. And I'm gonna choose to take three damage type resistances, fire, lightning, and radiant. Because the other three choices are bludgeoning,
Starting point is 02:25:23 piercing, and slashing, all of which Bumble already provides to me. Nice! Wow! So I'm resistant to six damage types currently. Damn, that's fucking... Plus cold from this. Hot dog. I will then attack recklessly at the door of truth. However, I will use Bumble's bite attack to attack recklessly.
Starting point is 02:25:44 Okay. Cragles in this. Okay. Come on. Cushed it. Uh, uh, 27 to hit. That will hit.
Starting point is 02:26:00 Um, okay. On hit. I am also a strong bitling. I am- I will activate the strong bit. as I reach up with my haunch of meat and take a big meaty bite out of it, and the token will burst. As I leash out with the whip, the Varg killer, and I lunge it forward as it creates a long-stretched tendril
Starting point is 02:26:25 as I ignite it in the essence of the House of Chanticleer. I imagine gibbering maws erupt all around the tendril as I strike forward with it, and it leeches against the door of truth as the maus begin to consume it and eat into it as ideal. That's pretty good. Damn, son. 30 points of... Did you hear of...
Starting point is 02:26:59 Oh, no. No, I did not. I think it's plus two. 32. Wait, what did I just say? 30. And so yes, 32. So it's what you rolled plus the eight plus your search package.
Starting point is 02:27:13 Yep, yep. Plus eight. So it's 30. Plus two is 32. Times two. It's 64. 64. 64. To the door. To the door. To the door.
Starting point is 02:27:24 Damn. Once again, you see a bumble. I will love our truth. The truth is delicious. As more cracks are to fragment this thing. As the homunculus stumbles again, as the eyes are wide, as he looks at you and he says,
Starting point is 02:27:48 You will not stop my ascension. I will become the perfect being. And now I use our last legendary action. That's right. There's thunder in the clouds all around us as you hear a voice thundering from the gods bag of those. Are you ready? Are you ready?
Starting point is 02:28:13 Well then let's get ready to bumble. Yeah, do it again, run out. And with that, he looks at you. Because you're reckless, it was advantaged. Absolutely, come get some, bitch. As another star comes crashing down on you. Come on. Poros die. Let's go.
Starting point is 02:28:36 I'm very low AC. You almost can't mess. Absolutely gonna hit. Oh, wait, I'm advantage. Let's fish for a crit. No. I'm not fish for a crit. That's fine. Fish for a crit. That's fine. Fish for a crit.
Starting point is 02:28:46 It's showing off. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Would you get to hit? No, that matter. You're good, keep going. My is, you know what? Terrible. Oh, I guess it's just moment.
Starting point is 02:28:54 I see it. 31. Of what form of damage? Radiant. I'll take 15. Well, no, no, not 31 points of damage. I got a 31. Never mind.
Starting point is 02:29:05 Sorry. It's okay. I assume that it was the damage, you had dealt. That's my fault. Russell, Roshal. 16. 23. 30 points of radiant damage.
Starting point is 02:29:19 Yes. I will take 15. Pull it some damage. And now, the ancestral hero of how Chanticleer will be using our final legendary action. Oh, that ancestral hero! And I believe if you read your reckless whatever,
Starting point is 02:29:33 I think it's until the beginning of your next turn, so you would still be advantaged. Yeah, it should be. Yeah, because it works on all attacks, yeah. When you make your first attack roll on your turn, you can decide to gain advantage. Oh, never mind. Check that, but they might have changed it,
Starting point is 02:29:48 or I just remember. No, I still had the... If you have a legendary action, I'm never using it. We're just deciding whether we have advantage off. You can still chop your DIGI, your haunch of turkey meat, I believe. You might as well use them up, man. Use them up, all we got Bumble.
Starting point is 02:30:03 This is additionally once per turn. This is a new turn, right? Well, it's still the end of the legendary. Oh, no. It's after, it can't be, it's just to be another good turn, so you can use it. But it was after his turn. So you can't do it on, you can't legendary action on your turn. Is it the end of my turn?
Starting point is 02:30:19 All I'm losing is two damage and is he about to go? Yes. He's supposed to get them back. Well, I think we definitely got it. We got to do it. We're at the end of the round. I will use it then. I'm going to be the one. This is teamwork.
Starting point is 02:30:31 We're doing it together. That's fine. But I will be the one to chomp in. So all we're losing is the plus two surge damage, which is fine. 17 plus 8 to hit, plus 13 to hit. Yep. So you can probably. And so I'm going to chomp on my second Digibone to double the damage of this.
Starting point is 02:30:49 Not bad. That's 26 points of damage times two. 52. 52. Yeah, that's not bad. 52 total or doubled? No, no. Okay.
Starting point is 02:31:03 That's already, that's double. Smashing into it as that is a, I need to use my calculator. So we're kind of reaching around him and we're chopping the door of truth from both sides. I'm imagining these tentacles with just maws all the way up. Like, just, 100%.
Starting point is 02:31:22 And maws like howling and wailing as they, wrap around and all these different mouths are chewing onto the door. That's exactly what's happening. I can't see, but I'm just feeling the psychic, like, common psychic. And so it doesn't stop me. I just fucking go. Go hay. Oh, I go hay. Um, Um, you,
Starting point is 02:31:45 those diggy bones take the thing. Do you hear as we get to the top of the round, as Bumble, as you hear. Four, three. I will feast. feast and I will slumber and I will become something new. As, uh, you all hear that in your head. As he's going to lunge forward.
Starting point is 02:32:09 And I guess I should attack the door, shouldn't I? Yes, you should. Okay. I'm using the poros die here. I make it a natural one. Is it a natural 20? Shut! Incredible. I'm having to dig it back. Me. Me. Me.
Starting point is 02:32:35 Me. Yeah. All right. That's incredible. The door's got to be toast here. That's the porous of Maldvia coming through with the- Sorry, I'm gonna take the- Argonaut is-Blessed by Argonome. MySpace is yours.
Starting point is 02:32:46 In 99.9% of you don't know what the fuck we're talking about. Join our Patreon. Yeah, join our patron. Our patron-dolphin tier higher to watch our patron-exclusive campaign. Extravagance campaign. You have like 20 episodes. Yeah, it was a lot of it. Yeah, season one was like 20 episodes.
Starting point is 02:33:02 It was really funny. Is Bumble striking like through us? Is he using, us. Like our forms to strike at the door? Yeah. Incredible. Because we're all bumble? Yeah. We are Bumble. We are Bumble. Actually, no, he is going to go into his space. And you see as he slumbers forward
Starting point is 02:33:20 and Hold on, hold on, sorry, I fucked up. He's going to sloop through him. How close you were? And he didn't go right up to the door. As you see as the tendrils, he almost turned into a puddle. He out, it's max a little bit. As he turned into a puddle and slithers as the homunculus has a disgustle and he lifts off and floats and levitates in the air. As Bumble slithers underneath him making the attack. I'm still with that. I roll four eights. That is insane. What? Okay, hold on.
Starting point is 02:33:58 Wait, what are you hitting with? Bumble. Bumble. Bumble. 68 with a bite. Oh, sorry. I thought you were saying you just rolled 4d8. And I was like, wait, you should be rolling a lot more damage. That is wild. That's the norm. I think it's 3D8, right? Yeah, but he's crit.
Starting point is 02:34:14 With crit. That's right. Yeah. 90-20, man. And I think I heard about 52 points. 52 points of piercing damage. Nice.
Starting point is 02:34:23 That is insane. If only you were a strong, Bicklew you were a strong, bit like. You can double this damage. Oh. As. you see now where the cracks are starting to form all over. The pristine colossus, that is the homunculus.
Starting point is 02:34:46 And all of this radiance is pouring out. I need all of you to make a perception check. I'm not good at that. Natural 20. 15. I have four. Ooh, five. Oh, can we do that?
Starting point is 02:35:04 Bumble. I'm actually, because I got this back, and I have blind sight. And I have my Judge Dredd, cybernetic enhancements. I'm going to use on the case for my background and re-roll this D20 perception check. Nice.
Starting point is 02:35:23 It's worse. Yeah, been that kind of night. Peggy, it's the only one who picks it up and it's on her video. What do you get, Peggy? 32. Damn. I didn't even need to do that. Holy smokes.
Starting point is 02:35:33 Peggy, you are the only one to hear this. You watching this guys, make sure you focus in on this. As you all, as you hear very faintly through the cracks on his angelic form. God, he's hot. Please free us. We hate him. We hate him. As you hear hundreds of thousands of souls of souls.
Starting point is 02:36:08 wailing within the form of the homunculus. Souls of the XVI. And you hear this. The Booker, it's your turn. I begin to sing. Because we are Bumble, would they all hear it through me? I would say you can choose, if you pick it up in digital, you can distribute that.
Starting point is 02:36:25 Oh, yeah, I would. You'll see the, you'll see Bumble start to glow red as I disseminate this code through Bumble. She actually patches through on Ventrillo. I do, yeah. And we all hear it through our headset. I don't know. And you see...
Starting point is 02:36:40 Before you go, Booker, I... I... From a gaming perspective, I would suggest we burn every legendary action at the top of it as fast as we can. Okay, you can only use one per guy. Correct, but I think we should go... I think we should use it.
Starting point is 02:36:56 So Bumble, Booker, Bitsy. Correct. Then you should use a bite. So then, yeah, do Bumble. But... I mean, he's got a... He's got another. He's got one. He's got one itself. We got... because we got we got about a minute left
Starting point is 02:37:08 on this. It's his third one. Let's see if he recharges who wants to roll the recharge. I will do that. I think, I think he's oil. Yeah, hazel. Absolutely.
Starting point is 02:37:15 You're running. You need to read for a five. We are bumble, but you are bumble. Can I change my mind? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:37:22 I haven't rolled it yet. What is on? It was not close. It was so good. We were rolling to recharge whales of the consumed. As you
Starting point is 02:37:38 not just hear this, but you hear the as the the Wygore copter circles overhead. Oh my God. As you see a comical
Starting point is 02:37:53 extendo arm that looks like a Wygore claw I'm going down holding Weigor with his own propeller spinning as he is holding up
Starting point is 02:38:05 what looks like a simple glass vial. That's you fucking dago on outside. I'm glad I called that guy. I did the call. I did the call. But hopefully, I've been setting out a lot of calls as he gets ready. And you see
Starting point is 02:38:37 as the humunkins looks up, and for the first time, you see a hint of fear in his eyes. Uh-oh. And now you may use, he's gonna use his later reaction. And he's the fear then turns to resolve. Yeah, you get prio for sure. Oh, absolutely. As the stars would have fall, as will all of their towers
Starting point is 02:38:59 this entire realm as he casts another star at you you're you reckless attacks right I did. Yeah you guys you guys He's just radiant though Yeah he wouldn't know
Starting point is 02:39:14 So he wouldn't know he would know He would know that he would know he's a fire He's doing it on bumble Oh that makes a lot of sense Yeah It's not that low guys It's perfectly allowed It's perfectly accepted way seat
Starting point is 02:39:26 Oh, you're adding It's perfectly normal Signed to see. It's sort of bitling in this I always I'd like to see you do better. Who cares about Yeah.
Starting point is 02:39:38 We're 10, 14 God, 70. 24 points of radiant damage to Bumble. Oh no. It's done. Does Bumble benefit for me being resistant to radiant damage? I think that's exactly.
Starting point is 02:39:56 We are Bumble. Do my temporary Hit points contribute to a humble at all? Yeah. Wait. I mean, I can temperate hit points. Why wouldn't they? I can symbiote shield as well. 24 is the exact amount of HP we have well. What's Simbiased shield do? Read it.
Starting point is 02:40:12 Yeah, so this is part of, I can feed up to two side points to Bumble and do symbiote shielding. So when I take damage, which we are Bumble, I can expend the points and reduce damage. No. No, it's when you take damage. Oh, it's just one of her token. Yeah, reduced damage by 1d6 per point expended. Yeah, so reduce it by 2D6.
Starting point is 02:40:33 He's the symbiote, right? No, they, if anybody can do this, it's Bumble. Absolutely. Oh my God. There's no lie. Holy shit. You guys all you have to make it to my turn. Like we just have to my fucking turn.
Starting point is 02:40:47 No, it's why we gotta use this, yeah, yeah, six. That's great. That's great. Okay. So that's 18 points of damage. So we're at 201. So we're at 201. So we're reduced it by six. You, what is that?
Starting point is 02:40:58 What is that? What do you say? What are your friends here as you do this? As you see certain annihilation coming to Bumble. You're a part of me and I'm a part of you. And I won't stand for it. I will feed you if you feed me as well. We will feed each other, Bumble. You will feed each other.
Starting point is 02:41:21 Feed each other. The souls will not allow. All the souls. We will consume. The are. Bum. Oh, shit. Wait.
Starting point is 02:41:42 No, he didn't. He had to lose their eyes. on his turn, so it goes a broker's turn. Oh, you can know. Yes, yes, you can. Yeah. I use his legendary action. Chomp. And I'm going to attempt to make a bite attack,
Starting point is 02:41:56 and let me see. I can't reckless it. I can't unstable assault. You can't disable assault, but we will add your surge damage. But it is surge damage. So it's an extra four damage. And I think, just don't miss. No pressure. Why would you just don't fucking mess?
Starting point is 02:42:12 crushed it. Like 23, I think. Nice. Yeah, 23. It's only one and I got real there. Okay. Roll high, roll high, roll high. That's really good. Oh my god. I'm also out of legendary reactions. Oh, you are? No. Yeah, because he won't, he's been starring every three, yeah. Hold on. Do I have it more? The door's still alive, right? Oh no, no, you're in your layer, presumably. You might have one. See what I have four. That's right. Sure. I'm just gonna make to my fucking turn. I just need to heal.
Starting point is 02:42:56 Okay. I eat my token as ideal 56 points of damage to the door of truth. Go! No, your turn's next. Yeah, I just gotta heal. That's already doubled. Buy some fucking time. That's already doubled. But that is the, that's the bite damage times too. You feel the mountains start to shake as the door of truth,
Starting point is 02:43:22 the eyeball looks like, almost like it's bloodshot, with how many cracks are within it, as the, as the, you all now hear the wailing, raging, vengeful souls of Xerxes within the homunculus. As the cracks start to form, looks as the now, once pristine and perfect hair is now in his face wild as the rage starts to take him. You cannot stop. What is coming? I will be a perfect being. I will ascend. And you will be unmade. Can I use malware? Yeah. I would.
Starting point is 02:44:08 Yeah, it's my level three thing. You can touch a creature. I can target myself, but I don't know, just we are bumble. So I guess I would target with that target all of us. And infuse it with dormant malicious code for an hour. When the creature, when a creature, it doesn't say so. Where yet? When a creature hits a protection, protect a target with an attack roll,
Starting point is 02:44:35 the target can take a reaction. So I put it on us and then I can use my reaction later. I would say you would have been able to have, if this is part of a thing that you're someone else to do, you would have been able to do that. So basically you see that Bumble is, as like the maz are opening, you see the red code, like seeping in
Starting point is 02:44:51 and leaking out of him. And so I would be able to use my reaction to trigger the malware should, we need to. Okay, Roger that. Yeah, I don't know. Okay, so you're queued up. It's now Booker's turn. I'm out of Lidger's actions.
Starting point is 02:45:07 It's your turn. I'm gonna sing. but it is not the voice and dulcet tones that you normally hear from Booker. Instead, it's this horrific gibbering glottie. As I use cure wounds at a second level, and I touch myself, because we are Bumble, and Bumble is us, to heal a 4D8 plus 5. So we'll start by doing that.
Starting point is 02:45:36 Oh, we'll have one more. 8, 9, that was terrible. 12, 13, 14, 19 points of healing to Bumbles, hit points, but I will also use my level three feature smooth jazz. Additionally, immediately after you cast an abjuration or enchantment spell of level one or more, I can expend a use of my iconic inspiration to choose up to five other creatures within 60 feet of myself. The charm and fighting conditions end doesn't matter because we're immune, but each target gains a number of temporary hit points equal to two roles of my iconic inspiration die.
Starting point is 02:46:10 if we can only use one roll to get one set of temporary hit points, I'm going to choose Bumble to get temporary hit points. I don't think we can add all the temporary hit points together. That would be insane. Multiplying it by Bunking six would be... Well, that's how we took the start. We didn't. We all got hit.
Starting point is 02:46:28 Go for me. Because I'm about to fuck you guys up. Okay. One, two, three, four, five, six. Can I choose up to five? So I'm just going to multiply this by five. Well, then can't... 7 times 5 is 35 point temporary hit points on top of that. Holy shit. For everyone including Bumble?
Starting point is 02:46:48 Just Bumble. Yes, we are all getting 35 temporary hit points. Crazy. So hopefully that will help us survive. So Brumley gets it too. No, no, no, no. It's just going to. We only have a health.
Starting point is 02:46:59 It's getting it. Yeah. Right? We're all just getting a total of 35 temporary hit points. That is my... Slow ride. And then I'll give Bitsy iconic inspiration. And I'm running out of iconic inspirations here real quick.
Starting point is 02:47:22 Because hopefully that she'll be able to make use of it. She needs it for the... And then I guess I'll take a legendary action. Oh, I can't. Somebody else has to. So my turn is done. One of us should take a legendary action. Why can you?
Starting point is 02:47:38 This is my turn. Because he can't take it after his own turn. I. I'm going to have to. to take my final listener reaction. Yep. Okay. Yeah, you get private. Do they not reset at the top of the round?
Starting point is 02:47:46 They reset when a guest to hit. His turn. Yeah. Oh, okay, go, go, okay. I am going to use my reaction to force you to make a DC-15 intelligence saving throw because of malware. It's when malware, when it attacks, right?
Starting point is 02:48:01 When a creature hits, yes. We'll see if it hits. It's gonna hit. Yeah, well, let's see. It's gonna hit. It's gonna hit. It's gonna hit. And he calls him a roll at disadvantage.
Starting point is 02:48:14 If he fails, yeah, but the DC's really low, and he's very smart. Actually, I don't think it'll do anything. He's not gonna have. I should have done this before. Uh-oh. That's even what. As you see as he disappears in Starlight and teleports
Starting point is 02:48:33 on the complete opposite of the Mountain. Oh, sorry. Either way, back into this thing. No, no, away, just that way. Hooray! Shucks, I thought I could drug him. And... Oh, God, he's going to have a mega cone.
Starting point is 02:48:52 Oh, no. You see as there's a sheen, as there's a sheen that he, there's a sheen on him as he extends his hand, and he beam tethers, connects to the door of truth as you see that there's almost a barrier
Starting point is 02:49:12 that you feel like it might be immune to piercing damage. We didn't destroy the door. This is crazy. Oh my God, this thing won't die. The door's immune to piercing damage? Piercing. All right. Anyway, that was his alleged reaction.
Starting point is 02:49:31 We have to use a legendary reaction. Is it over? Can I do that? Yes. No, should. I gave you iconic inspiration, so you should definitely do it at least once. Okay.
Starting point is 02:49:42 I see no other reason. why I shouldn't do anything but chomp. No, no, no, you should hit tentacle. It's immune to piercing. We already chomped. We can't chomp again to start of our turn. Correct. Chomp, chomp is once. Fight.
Starting point is 02:49:58 The chomp legendary action. Correct. Can't use again. Is. Well, shit, we can't do any more damage. Yeah, there's no damage stealing legendary actions for the side of the time. That's what I... The thing is, if we want to try to grapple or whatever before...
Starting point is 02:50:10 How do it does? How do you know that? Yeah, it says... This action cannot... It can't take this action again until the start of his next turn. Right. Under chomp, the legendary actions. We're not within 30 feet of him.
Starting point is 02:50:20 Oh, oh, so on chomp itself. On chomp, not bite on chomp. Okay. So the legendary actions are... To piercing, All I could do is... Well, then maybe don't go work face again. Don't worry about the legendary action then.
Starting point is 02:50:34 I know like there's nothing to do. And he is immune, basically. He changed his immunity. Yeah. Or you can more space and move it. And we just warface under him and... But he's a teleporting bitch. But it's so potentially poison his ass.
Starting point is 02:50:51 He's got one final resistance. All right. We can burn it. All right. Or we try. All right. Um... The warping shape, uh, as it continues to, uh, twist and undulate and, um, move like the bottom of the ocean will... will mirage into his space, and he'll need to make a constitution saving throw.
Starting point is 02:51:17 Csuce 17. No, I think we, I think we redraw it, because we're basically, what was it, was it the Nizoth fight where you had to, like, go underground? There's, like, basically, pools of this warping stuff, like forming all over those.
Starting point is 02:51:28 16. We're, we're giving places to get a stand. He gains the poison condition until the start of his next turn. Oh, it adds to the math. Blowing, like, final, doesn't say it replaces it. Legendary resistance.
Starting point is 02:51:37 He's blowing his final legendary resistance. Let's go. Hot damn. That's massive, actually. Damn. It doesn't say that he's... Yeah, no, that's fair. It replaces it.
Starting point is 02:51:48 I'm all generous with that plot, but whatever. It's be in and thaw. We're like nizofing him. It's Bitsy's turn, yes? A surge of electricity, lightning arcs across the surface of this massive amoeba-like bumble
Starting point is 02:52:11 amorphous blob. and fires into him as I use my bonus action to just straight up deal seven points of lightning damage as that crashes into the homunculus and I am going to continue to whisper. My eyes are closed. I'm still living in Bumble.
Starting point is 02:52:36 We are Bumble. All of these, I experienced the blindside. I experience the panic and the emotions surging through our friends is we communicate almost as a hive mind. I'll actually even get in a little bit closer. What I'm going to do is I'm going to cast a spell. I'm going to cast command, and I'm going to hold it
Starting point is 02:52:57 until he attempts to harm Bumble or us. And if he attempts to do that in any way, then I will cast command. Okay. That is known as he begins to power up. Bitsy, I need to roll D-100 for me. Oh. Actually, a better comparison is the Dwar fight with the totem guy
Starting point is 02:53:19 who like leads the puddle of poison and he has to like walk him in a triangle. Oh, like, slowly run out of places to stand. Oh, God. It's going to take 10 minutes for this thing to settle. Let it ride. Let it ride. Let it ride. Here's our tables. Oh, my God. It's like 56.
Starting point is 02:53:46 Yeah. Yes. 506. Okay. Continue. Not really threaten the one. I thought for sure it was good. It was right here. I don't know how to articulate that this is the one
Starting point is 02:53:59 and this was the 50s. And it was really like rocking to the one too. And now it's Hazel's turn. Okay. Hazile. I'm bringing something. Okay. I am I'm going to
Starting point is 02:54:28 reach into my pocket of my pilot's jacket and pull out a small wad of tinfoil and I'm going to menacingly look at the door and pop the tinfoil in my mouth and begin to chew. And it's going to make a horrific crunching, scraping noise. And it's going to get louder and louder and louder until it is unnaturally loud and making this horrific noise. And I'm going to cast shatter at the door. Oh.
Starting point is 02:54:57 Ooh. That's correct. Hell yeah. So. That automatically fails. Okay. It automatically fails. Yeah, objects automatically fail, right?
Starting point is 02:55:08 Okay, and so that? I didn't consider this. I didn't consider it. Does Shatter have any special rules regarding objects and shit? It just says a non-magical object that isn't being worn or carried also takes damage if it's in the area. Okay, I thought maybe it was double. No. No, no, no, there's no double.
Starting point is 02:55:28 A construct has disadvantaged, yeah, no. It just deals damage to objects. All of the gibbering maws of Bumble are amplifying, oh yeah, yeah, noise at the door. Oh, there is. All right, seven in five is 12. Sorry, 12. Thunder damage.
Starting point is 02:55:54 12 thunder damage. As you see it crackle a little bit, and it takes this damage, but you see the he, it seems to be resistance to thunder damage. It's going to take half. As he still cracks a little bit. He's still looking rough as he's crackling. And do I need to do any legendary any? Sorry.
Starting point is 02:56:24 Do you have any legendary actions? We have one left. I mean, you could do the, you could definitely do the only one lot. It just doesn't do anything really for us. Okay. Well, he can't, he has no, he has no resistances left. We can't warp space again. We can't chop again. You could attempt to grapple him basically. But we're not close enough. Oh, yeah, we're not within. 30 foot emanation. Oh, originating from our bumble.
Starting point is 02:56:50 Yeah, we could move. I could be close to. I could get close enough. I'm out here. Can you get over 40 feet away from? Oh, I guess. I have 40 feet of movement and I was out here. Oh yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 02:57:01 You're good. Okay, so then I want to do a latching. Lashing first. Okay, that is a deck saving throw. Yeah, decks 15. Ducks. 10. Okay, then you are grappled.
Starting point is 02:57:17 You see as finally the power this power that he's stolen from this door as he's ascended to the being, ascended to godhood as it starts to lash around him and around him and around him and around him. And it is not from this behemoth. You see the little shape of
Starting point is 02:57:40 Hazel that's stretching and connecting and you see her tail lash up and the original form of Bumble says you will not move. and we will fade as it extends into tons of tethers of this sinewy, berry-like flesh that latches all around his limbs. And that is Peggy's turn. How do we feel like fire would do against this door of truth?
Starting point is 02:58:15 Probably fine, probably fine. It's not showing up. It might be like resistant, but it'll hit. It's definitely not immune. There's no way. Then I think... They also can also try to engulf them. I don't know if we have... Oh, you're looking at Bumble's actions. Yeah. So like, if you think that you can beat a tentacle 3...
Starting point is 02:58:43 Oh, you... A byte 3D8 plus 8 with your action, then beat it with a spell. Again, the door is still immune to piercing. And it would be immune to thineken. Might not be. Yeah, I can engulf. Or it's a T, or if you just want to shoot with fire. Let's just try it.
Starting point is 02:59:02 Well, it might not, so the only thing that the engulfed, while engulfed a creature takes 46. Well, no, I mean, if we want to engulf him. Yeah, we definitely get engulfed the door. Yeah, that's what I mean. Gotcha. All right, Mastication 886. This one's for you, buddy, and I'm going to engulf.
Starting point is 02:59:23 Okay. I'm just going to rush towards him. So you're going to use your movement to move him. Yeah, to move him. One, two and a half, four, five and a half. Six. Yeah, and then when you use it, you can then move again. Yep.
Starting point is 02:59:38 And get on his space. Okay. And he needs to make a strength-saving throw. Strength. And so we would all get pulled. Okay. We get pulled, like, e-e. I'm exactly neat.
Starting point is 02:59:54 Yep. So, I got a 19. You've got to be kidding me. And I have no legendary actions. My withering lightning breaks as he enters total cover, but I don't care. You now see where this, where Hazel's tail had been holding him
Starting point is 03:00:11 taught. Now the massive, enormous, amorphous, gibbering horror with his countless mouths consumes and all of the radiant starlight that was bursting out around him is snuffed out as you all taste the homunculus. And it is the most beautiful thing you've ever tasted.
Starting point is 03:00:38 Kind of tastes like Ruby. It's perfect. That's annoying. And now what do I do here? Is he restrained? So while in golf, he will take 46 psychic damage at the start of each of its turns. He's suffocating. He has the restrained condition, and he'll repeat the save at the end of each of its turns.
Starting point is 03:00:58 Okay. And then it moves with us as well. The restrained condition. And if he dies, he becomes a gibbering mouther under We Are Bumbles control. Roll the damage. Yeah, I hope that... Oh, is it the story of Esterno? Yes.
Starting point is 03:01:10 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because then we can put him into the glass. 15 points of psychic damage. As you hear, no, no, the darkness, the darkness, no, I spent an eternity in darkness. I don't want to go back. I don't want to go back to the darkness. As you feel the cold of the deep, as it's all. almost like this massive titanic colossus homunculus is almost like a little bit of prey in the deep dark water of Carpus.
Starting point is 03:02:03 I'm not really comfortable that we might be doing the bad guy's work. I feel like, I don't know who we're root for here. I'll say, it didn't kind of seem like he was making the stars brighter. He was described as holy good now and leading him. He did shackle all his tethers of malevolence and we did follow why. Did we roll the damage? Do we roll the damage? Yeah, he's psychic. He does not regain extinction burst. However.
Starting point is 03:02:30 That's probably good for us. However. He does make a snake, well, at the end of his turn, who can make another safe. However. And then we're 25 away. So we have like 60 total.
Starting point is 03:02:42 As he says this, you feel, once again, the stars are all pulling around him. Uh-oh. As they all crash down. Is he attempting to hurt Bumble again? Yes. My eyes flash open. Bitsy's eyes crash open,
Starting point is 03:02:57 and she's been holding on to this whisper, this consultation, this command. I need you to make a DC-15... I believe it's a wisdom saving girl. Let me just double-check. There we go. 30. Fuck!
Starting point is 03:03:20 Whoa! Oh my God. God damn it. Plus 14. It's probably... Plus 14. That's pretty good. Oh, so there was literally...
Starting point is 03:03:30 So you rolled a 60. Wait, wait, let me just make... Oh, technically I'm at advantage because I have magic resistance. You beat it no matter what of it. Yeah, you could have rolled a one and still stay. Oh, okay. That sucks.
Starting point is 03:03:40 I had a really funny joke like. No, who's the thing? Even if he had rolled... Can you pretend like you failed for a second? If he had rolled a one, we could have stopped it. You have a flash of prescience as you feel, oh, this homunculus looking at you,
Starting point is 03:03:53 looking up at you. What do you say to the... Oh, I would have said, Don't do it. And then Chewy, he would have not done that thing. And you wouldn't have done the thing. And you suddenly flashed back. You say, oh, that would have been pretty cool.
Starting point is 03:04:07 Oh, that would have been cool. I would have liked that. And it's going to attack. And so you'll be able to do your reaction after this first attack hits, right, Nicky? For the virus, the malware? Oh, yes. Once it hits, the first one hits?
Starting point is 03:04:19 Well, yes. If it hits, I use my reaction to have him make a, This is an attack roll, he's restrained, so he's disadvantaged. His plus is probably... And so he needs to make an intelligent saving throw. 26 to hit. That hits? Well, 26 hit.
Starting point is 03:04:42 Okay, so it hits. But what's the intelligent saving throw? Oh, saving throw. Mm-hmm, mm-mm, in, and, and, plus 12 is a 14. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. So you have disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls until the start of the protected creatures next turn. I am the protected creature. Okay. And we are bumble. And we are bumble. Okay. As you feel, as you can all see this thing that has engulfed, this creature that is engulfed, as the blue-white light of Agathos that's bursting out, you all now hear the wailing souls that are within him.
Starting point is 03:05:30 and it's almost a coughing now in your ear, as you see this, as this dark red code almost covers him, as it starts to restrain and corrupt him. All around him, he sees these little video feeds pop up of people doing muck bongs, but they're really loud chewers. And it is so overwhelmingly juicy that he can't focus.
Starting point is 03:05:59 12, 20, 25. Definitely hit that. You guys have five. Third. 32 points of radiant damage to Bumble. 32 points of radiant damage. As the second star now that comes down,
Starting point is 03:06:19 it is shorting out from code. Disadvantage. Oh, there's a second attack coming? Yeah. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Let me just, let me know what this is. Okay, okay. 26.
Starting point is 03:06:37 You have that 10 HP. I did, yeah, okay. Wait, was that, yeah, that's the hit? 26 to hit. Oh, to hit, oh. No, it's 15. I don't know, I don't think he can miss. You might not be a natural one.
Starting point is 03:06:49 Yeah. Well, and he's a disadvantage, so he's got a higher chance of a natural one. He does. 27 points of radiant damage. You want to do it now? You want to guess how much HP we have left? How much?
Starting point is 03:07:12 We have one HP left. Can I do my thing again? You could. You could. The next hit. Yeah, might as well. All right. How many times per rest or whatever can you do it? It's side points. Yeah. I can do it a lot, to be honest. Let's fucking let it around.
Starting point is 03:07:30 You have at least three side points. I mean, the only tradeoff is he's got to hit us again to do even one more point of damage. And he's shooting like 30. I would take this on this. I don't. Yeah. If we break out, you could use the side points to save us or no? Or herself.
Starting point is 03:07:50 Or yourself. I can, but I also have a psionic wellspring, so I can use spell slots to turn into, I can convert. I would probably save it. No matter what, even if you rolled like max fuel, right? It's not going to. There's no, I mean, I don't think it's a tax will do less than that. If he rolls minimum, you know.
Starting point is 03:08:15 The fact that he's still alive because of that is massive. Yeah. Right? Like, this is huge. I still also have 10.10. 10 bird. Okay. That's his turn.
Starting point is 03:08:25 If we're pool. Grumly, you're out. He's got his little reaction back. And he does have more. Oh, resistance is? He can now make the save against the, uh, he can't make the safe. It's strength.
Starting point is 03:08:39 And I don't know. It might have ended on that or no? No. No. Disability checks. Can he also do, he's also restraint. What role is Mike making? Strength.
Starting point is 03:08:48 Strength. Okay, DC-21. DC-21. DC-21. That is, what's 14 plus 19? That's definitely. All right, bro. You would have only needed two flanks, Michael. You got this. No. You merged out. I can't. It has to be within a window of six units.
Starting point is 03:09:11 He bursts out of this. And I'm just going to say for the sake of it, it is going to push Bumble back As How far, where are you? Not to the darkness. I will not go back. I am trying to achieve perfection. Do you not all see this?
Starting point is 03:09:35 Do you not see what I'm trying to do? And with that, is Grumman's turn. I am going to do I know, do I get a sense that he's protecting the door from piercing damage. What I've been able to intuit that. I say that's over now. The beam is not connected.
Starting point is 03:09:56 It's the end of his next turn. Fuck up that door, man. Oh, shit. I'm just going to do it again. I'm just going to... Send back. I'm going to move one and a half. I can stay pretty close.
Starting point is 03:10:08 And the reach on the bite attack is... 15 feet. So, Grumley is part... Like, what are they? they call that a suit of pod coming out, will shape into the knuckles, gloved, and spiked fist.
Starting point is 03:10:26 As it's just gonna slam into the side of the door. And we'll see what happens. Very clay face. I like that a lot. You'll see what happens. I like that a lot. That probably hits. Yeah, plus like 13. Yeah, 13 plus 13, so 26 to hit. Yeah, all that.
Starting point is 03:10:38 Geez. I am going to chow down on yet another Digibone. Is this the final one? And I'm going to smite. Bonus action smite. Oh, that's crazy. This door's gotta go. There's no way the door stands against this.
Starting point is 03:10:54 Next box of D8s. Yeah, here. I got three. One, two. I got three. Sorry. They're both right there. One, two, three, one, two.
Starting point is 03:11:04 It didn't roll, great. Seven, thirteen, two, thirty, 30. So doubled, comp. That is 60 points of piercing damage on the door. 60 points? This has gotta go. This is crazy.
Starting point is 03:11:32 We've done hundreds of points to- What this might do, radiant? Or is it still the- Oh, it's also, yeah, radiant as well. So, some of that's radiant, nothing matters. It does matter. Oh. Nice. How much radian?
Starting point is 03:11:46 How much radiance? Did you say that's radiant? If it's two? We'll say this is radiant. Yeah, we'll just say the average is radiant, so this is Rating, so 20 points of that is radiant. Out of the 60. How do you want to do this? Oh!
Starting point is 03:12:00 after he breaks out, I see what Wygore's doing. I see, we tried the final gambit to try to consume him. It didn't work. And you know what I'm going to say is I'm going to, and I'm, can I see, I'm going to see, can I see. I'm just using this blind sight. And I'm going to say, we are Bumble. We, we are.
Starting point is 03:12:34 Junior detectives. And so Bumble, you take a bite out of crime. And his mouth will open up and glow with sort of this laser electric light as it's going to wrap around the whole door
Starting point is 03:12:51 and chomp it. And you have free reign. Roll a D-100 for me. Oh, my God. I forgot that. I'm gonna roll a D. Restartis wraps at D-100. 21. Lucky 21.
Starting point is 03:13:07 Um, you see as Bumble says, yes, we will feed, we will consume as he makes one massive jump, this enormous
Starting point is 03:13:26 gibbering horror as lunges forward and you see all of these horrid teeth emerge and it chomps onto the door and cracks start to go all along and suddenly doesn't even look an eye anymore. As all of the strange geometric and runic patterns
Starting point is 03:13:45 are splintered out in every direction. As you see those cracks start to form on the homunculus, as he, as the humongulcus, no, no, I can't. As you hear the, of the Wygorcopter. As he starts to descend, as he looks and he says, no, I am not going back in there.
Starting point is 03:14:28 You can't stop me. As he uses his reaction to extend a, in his final death throes, to extend a, in his final death throes, to extend a, or whatever throws of this as he struggles to extend a beam at Wigor. And he says,
Starting point is 03:15:02 if both of us, if I am going to go, so are you. As he raises his finger and points. And it looks as a tether connects to both of their heads. Oh no. As suddenly the homunculus looks like Wyghar and wireless the homunculus and then you look back and forth and it's hard to tell
Starting point is 03:15:28 which is which as they almost become the same being as a same shared soul and then suddenly you hear as you see a sheen as a digital portal almost has opened up and you hear as a digital surge and blink as you see a
Starting point is 03:16:08 soaring by on what looks like a warp star is Shrieg with his shrieg gun. Classic. Blasting and peppering the homunculus after consuming an entire castle worth of Shrege coins that you all
Starting point is 03:16:30 handed over to him as he then flies through another portal opens up, it's all pixelated as he flies through. As Yiger looks around and blinks, gosh, I'm sure glad I called that guy. Didn't we sleep with that guy's girlfriend?
Starting point is 03:16:55 We faded to black. It's very unclear book. As the final piece that Yigur had mentioned, the incredible Arcadian artifact, in order to sever this tether between Wygore and the homunculus has severed, as has broken. As you see him pause and he looks in terror as he says, no, no, I don't want to go back. I can't. As wigur extends the open bottle. to the homunculus as he,
Starting point is 03:17:43 as you see that all of his beautiful, perfect colossus form starts to crumble. And as does the door of truth, the crumbling ruin starts to drift towards the bottle. And you see all of his, no, no, no, my beauty, my perfection, my goodness, My greatness, my perfect form! As all of the blonde hair gets whisked into the bottle,
Starting point is 03:18:14 all of his perfect muscles, his perfect toga, his pristine sandals, his perfectly sculpted fingernails, that's almost more stone than flesh. All is ripped into the flask. And his high, gosh, you dangle the monkey list, as he bottles it. As... As...
Starting point is 03:18:38 There's a pause, and you suddenly see that there is something that's writhing. As there's, no, no, no, no, as you see what's in the pile of the dust that remains, as all of this perfect flesh in the door of truth that sucked into the flask is a squirming a little creature that's no bigger than a breadbox. Fleshy and colored, grotesque rat-like with big fangs and jibbering as it's got grotesque eyes. As the flask you realize now is starting to shake and surge.
Starting point is 03:19:43 As Yigor looks at him and says, You never grew beyond your days of the flask. Now, let's just think with the souls of Xerxes have to say about all this. As he uncorks it and a massive burst of raging souls, a torrent hundreds of thousands of spirits crash around him. And you see this tiny little gibbering thing look with abject fear. No! No! What? As the souls swirl around him and rend him,
Starting point is 03:20:25 Until in a shrieking burst of ghostly light, nothing remains. Holy crap. As you stand atop the mountain in Agathos, the door is gone. As you see now that there's light all around you, it drifts and it twinkles. The flask opened, the homunculus destroyed,
Starting point is 03:20:51 and you realize now that the somewhat darkened night sky, starts to get a little bit brighter as the starlight drifts back up to where it had been stolen from. As you see now that through all the chaos, that a large remnant of the door of truth
Starting point is 03:21:21 didn't make it into the flask. As you see now, the massive creature that was with you is gone. You see it's just a little bit on Hazel's tail and on her lower half. As you see what looks like, almost like a drain at the bottom of the sea
Starting point is 03:21:45 where the crumbling of the door of truth of dark water, of deep water, and slithering, shifting, berry-like flesh, you see what looks like, fumble, but then a huge eye open. And then it slips away and blinks out of existence as far as you can tell. And you hear in your mind, Hazel, No, I slumber.
Starting point is 03:22:25 Where it is quiet, where it is cold, it is deep. And you stand victorious. Wow. That was something. Huh, folks. Thank you, everyone, for the Golden Hype Train. I can't believe we did it. That never happened.
Starting point is 03:22:54 That's a rare one, isn't it? That's a really rare one. Everyone makes sure to wave at the camera. We did it. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Hi, everyone. Introduce yourselves.
Starting point is 03:23:02 These are my peglings. Okay, hi, everybody. Hello, peglings. Thanks for watching, I guess. No, no, Book is not going to take his pants off. Please stop asking. No, I can't with my leg mangled. I haven't changed my pants in days.
Starting point is 03:23:13 No, that's why they want your pants off. We just destroyed the, The door of truth. Yeah, we did it. And we say, we say the, the galaxy. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:23:23 Now, stop asking about that weird sludgy eye thing. I don't know. I don't think Hazel, has an answer to that. Hazel, do you have an answer for that?
Starting point is 03:23:29 Oh, I don't know. Do I feel, like, do I feel Bumble's presence still? You feel like you have, whatever Bumble had become you of a tiny fraction.
Starting point is 03:23:42 It's almost like the day you met him. Like a remnant. A remnant. You still with you. You still have your powers. He just went from Groot to baby. group. Exactly right. That's a great way to put it. Exactly right.
Starting point is 03:23:53 Are you okay, Hazel? I think so. With everyone okay, are you doing all right? Except for my brain, I, you know, I think we're okay. Physically, I feel all right. I'll say that was unbelievable being fused together like that. Consumed by Bumble, fighting the homunculus and destroying the door of truth.
Starting point is 03:24:16 We really did a lot for us just then. I don't think we could have done it without Bumble. No, without question. Bumble was the hero of this story. Wow. You're a good boy, Bumble. Good boy. I look around for Wigel.
Starting point is 03:24:36 Mr. Wigel! Ah, yes, let me bring it down. Take that, you dangle, Bunkie Lus. Oh, I've still got it! All the souls of Zerxes and was it! You're shrieking on making yourself, you bastard. As the Wyglercopter lowers and lands. While this is happening, I'll look at the ancestral hero of how Chanticleer,
Starting point is 03:25:00 and I'll say, Mr. Chanticleer, this is the longest you've ever been with us. Do you feel like you can go home now? No, no, no, no, no, no. You're part of the team now. I'm an ancestral hero. I mean, we do have an open spot. I say, I say, Grumly, this is the longest you've ever needed me. But here we stand on whatever mountain this is and Agathos, with the destruction of the homunculus and the souls at rest of Xerxes.
Starting point is 03:25:32 Ah, yes. Ah, do you see that? The twinkling, as you see that the actual constellations. And you see that even with whatever understanding of Agathos, that they're a consolation that represent all of the 12 gods, as they twinkle and they almost like cast their light down on you. I believe what they're saying is that we can each make a wish. What?
Starting point is 03:26:01 What? Ah, yes. Each of us can make a wish. What I've studied is true. Oh, my goodness, we can wish for anything. Well, I don't think the peglings should be privy to this. So we're going to go ahead and raid legends of a ventrists. Go ahead and give them a like and a subscribe
Starting point is 03:26:22 and back there, Punch Enda. It's ending soon at NeonopG.com, okay? All right, Peglings. Punchender. And then I'm gonna push the raid back. Smash got back to the Rhapsody where Goodbye, Pegglings. Ret and Piker now fully engrossed in the actual action
Starting point is 03:26:40 and Ziggie walks up. You guys don't watching this? It's clearly AI. Who the fuck is Legends of a Vantra? Man, those were some good special effects. Yeah, but why did she keep showing a butthole every couple of minutes? I think she has to do that in order to stay online. It's a really weird program. I feel like that naked frog is going to go viral one of these days.
Starting point is 03:27:05 She's already viral. Oh, my God. That's the funny thing that's the same. There's two hours of my life I'll never get back. Any wish you rewind? Yes, I believe so. if what I've studied is true. This is a
Starting point is 03:27:25 lasting decision. An important decision. Do you know if the wishes come true? If so. I wish for an end to the evil villainy of the worst force of heinous
Starting point is 03:27:49 putrid wickedness. More wicked than my day-old humbuginess. And all of the coughony and the abyssal void of beyond interstellar representatives of stealing
Starting point is 03:28:06 also known as the IRS of the game of course that is what I wish for I'll say what's that I'll say the gods say you still have your wish while I go and they want to dab you up oh yes
Starting point is 03:28:21 that's going to be my wish too good wish good wish good wish I mean we can wish for anything. Are there any limits to the wish? I mean, I don't know. That I don't know. I mean, we could, we could wish to, for money. We don't have to work anymore. I mean, we could wish for a really, really cool Lamborghini. Or we could even wish to be gods. I say, I suppose that's right, Booker. I've only heard of tall tale stories like this. Power was being granted beyond recognition when you achieve great heights.
Starting point is 03:29:05 But I shall never dream to see such a thing. Here we are. How do you pick? What does your heart truly desire? I mean, I could wish for some sort of legendary instrument. I could wish to be the greatest jazz musician ever, unrivaled by any other musician in the cosmos. But you already got that.
Starting point is 03:29:34 Oh, Peggy, that's so kind of you to say. And also, if I wished for it, what if I didn't really earn it? This is tough. The Lamborghini thing is really up there. I mean, have you seen my car? It's a piece of shit. Yeah, who drives a Gremlin still? It's a nightmare.
Starting point is 03:29:50 Absolute nightmare. What about you, Gronley? I don't know. This is a lot of pressure. I mean, there's so many things I can think of. What about unlimited funds? in that game you play. Oh, well, I think Grammy still has some
Starting point is 03:30:10 money left in the bank account to send me, so I'm not sure I necessarily need that. You know, it's kind of unclear how intact my gambling addiction is now that I pass the whole thrill episode. Wow. I don't know, I need to think about it. Oh, God.
Starting point is 03:30:32 Look, how do you pick something when you feel like I already have everything? I have a job, a roof over my head. I can afford food, an instrument, a crappy car, no matter how bad it is, and my friends. I have friendship and love. What more could I need? Ooh, I could wish for more wishes. I don't think they're going to allow that.
Starting point is 03:30:59 Why not? Have we established their rules? I mean, I've studied a lot of this and carrying secrets and I feel like that's against the rules. I'll say you can't even make the one wish. What would you do with more? Are you saying, Booker, that really the true wish was the friends we made along the way?
Starting point is 03:31:16 Kind of, yeah, in a comfortable life. I mean, I can't really complain. Well, then good news, everyone, because I think it's actually saying that we should probably get out of here. I don't know how far I got the idea that we got wishes or something. Oh, sorry about that.
Starting point is 03:31:33 Gosh, that was... Oh, day, I guess... I just decided on my wish, though. Yeah. It couldn't hurt to try, right? I wish for a space Lamborghini. I wish that down with the IRS and Roblox be a silly seal. I don't hear anything.
Starting point is 03:31:50 I wish... I wish that Colombo was renewed. By Gemini, so I don't have to watch none. huge classic movies. Just one more seasons all I ask, just to wrap everything up. Anybody else just to try, just in case?
Starting point is 03:32:12 I could wish for the middle class to return, but I don't know if even a wish is that powerful. I could wish to the ancestral hero of how sound to Claire, but I don't think that I don't think that even a wish is
Starting point is 03:32:30 that powerful. I'll say I'm standing right here. I think I wish for happiness like you, and maybe someone will hear it. I don't want these esoteric secrets anymore. I don't want all this forbidden knowledge. I've learned that happiness comes with spending time with one's friends, and I like my job at this delivery company. I don't want to conquer the galaxy or spend any of this knowledge that I've spent
Starting point is 03:32:58 lifetimes after lifetimes gain in trying to do anything. If anything, I wish you could just go into a tiny little box and be sent away from the galaxy, outside of the Rhapsody, outside of the realms of Agathos, down deep below somewhere where someone may be who deserves it can find it, somewhere underneath their little hutch. But that's impossible. So I'll just wish to spend time with my friends delivering packages. A word more than way.
Starting point is 03:33:33 It doesn't look like anyone's wishes are coming true. We won't know until we get back. Maybe they will. Well, I got, I got, No, you go ahead. Don't pass up the opportunity. I got three choices I'm really juggling between. Well, I'll say, I say Jean-Luc
Starting point is 03:33:46 and I have been locked in a century's long dance. Wherever a hundred years he resurrects and I'm forced to come back out of wherever I am to slay him again. Oh my gosh. And every time it really hurts him. And that's been fun so far. So I really wish that that continues.
Starting point is 03:34:06 And every time I hit him with the Vogue killer, he explodes in the flame and righteousness. And every time he feels worse and worse, that dang old zone, Luke. How long is it worked? Oh, yes. Well, you know what these say, wish a part of star and all that stuff? So that's it? No, no other, you don't got anything? I'm juggling between, uh, creating a homunculus.
Starting point is 03:34:42 of my own. Oh, that's a terrible I don't recommend. I don't know. I feel like it doesn't work out for some, but it works out for others. I can get rid of all of these warts because nothing I'm doing getting rid of them on my own. But, you know, I'm really feeling like, honestly
Starting point is 03:34:58 just bringing John Claude back you to us right now. Oh, I wouldn't. That's a wish for something else. I just, you know, because we're talking about the fact that. I just, I feel like, I feel like we were talking about how we did this with our friends.
Starting point is 03:35:15 And I know he was here in spirit. I miss him. I miss him. I said, I've grown to care about you, Peg, and I'd really suggest you wish for something else. In this moment. It feels like waste of me. I think he's fine wherever he is.
Starting point is 03:35:26 I think that if we could just wish for him to be here with us right now, alive and healthy, that's really what we all want, isn't it? Well, I guess. But if it doesn't happen, then it definitely means the wishes aren't coming true. He's in the resurrection chamber. But what Patty's saying she wishes that he was here to experience him with us.
Starting point is 03:35:47 Yeah, I want him to have this shared memory with us. Why not him getting wish? She gave his life for this. My drone helpo says reported that he found the corpse of poor Jean-Luc, Jean-Claude, stuffed under his own desk, so he relocated him to the resurrection chain. I must have been a mistake. Yes. Tell that robot to stop right out.
Starting point is 03:36:09 No, no, tell Helpo that's a terrible mistake. No, we... Oh, no, he's already in the vat-oos. I love help him. Oh, what about you? Well, you know, if he's already in the vataboos, I guess I would wish to get rid of these warts. Okay, good.
Starting point is 03:36:21 And you? Well, I guess if that's taken care of, I'd bring back honeybuns in the vending machine in the break group. That's very reasonable. Oh, yeah, I love those honey buns. They're really good. It was so good. Why didn't we get rid of them?
Starting point is 03:36:34 You know, I know that our wishes are probably not going to come true, and we have to head back, I guess, to the office, right? Oh, yeah. I think they say that probably if we don't get out of here, there's going to be some crazy, weird monsters that show up. Well, how long do you think it's going to take these wishes to work? Because I haven't been able to wear thongs in a long time, and I pull up my feet, and you see these warty frog feet.
Starting point is 03:36:58 Oh, thank God. Just works all in between the toes. You know, it's impossible to know how long it'll take the wishes to really come into play. I've had these warts for as long as I can remember. I say, you mean thong sandals. Yeah, what else would I mean? Oh, well. Where else would I have what, you sicko?
Starting point is 03:37:14 And at least there's no 11th season of Colombo yet. So. But what are you going to say? Well, I'm just going to say that I don't need any wishes. You know, I may want to be a real detective. I may want to be more than just a junior detective. I may want an 11th season of Colombo. I may want one free lava chocolate cake from the equivalent of Rainforest Cafe,
Starting point is 03:37:41 from that one episode. But I think I have everything I need. Well, except the John Claude. Yeah. He'll be resurrected. He'll be resurrection. Nothing going wrong there. Yeah, that's all exactly right.
Starting point is 03:37:57 You'll have the correct picture, in fact. Wygo was trying to rush us on the copter. So I just want to say one last thing before we get out of here. Please do, Booker. All right. If I've learned anything throughout all of this, it's that a minimum wage, delivery job is without pain is meaningless.
Starting point is 03:38:15 That's because no one can gain notes without sacrificing some PTO first. But if you can endure that pain and workman's comp, you'll away from it, you'll find that you now have a mind callous enough to overcome any obtuse customer. Yeah, a mind made full mental. Wow. That was beautiful, Booker. Thank you. That was really nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:38:41 We should probably get out of you. Yeah, probably. To the Wygorgopter. Do you think there were any holes left? A little emotionless. Some double D's holes? Yeah, I want the shaved ones. Oh God, I hope so.
Starting point is 03:38:50 Let's go find out. To the Weiggo Copto. To the We go go to. Make your way back. We smash cut and all of us at the same time are saying, full mental Arcadia. Full mental Arcadia. You all get into the Ygorocopter.
Starting point is 03:39:12 and it doesn't take long as, Hazel, you and a smaller, less powerful version of Bumble, take your pilot and co-pilot seats and you hear, do you think you're better off of? Talk to me. As you punch the coordinates
Starting point is 03:39:40 and you get back to the dim-dim, You arrive back to the layer and you as you land the you realize that the Wigor copper is going to need a few repairs but you have time you have a six-day weekend and yes yes oh my gosh yes it's happening oh we can go to Cavalong time six different times and we can root for each one of the night Absolutely right, Bromley, we can. I'll say that's so cool, I'll be right back. And as you open,
Starting point is 03:40:19 as you open the door from the the Ygor cave to the off as you hear, hello, I've responded. What's happening? As you hear that, as suddenly a call, Yigur gets a call.
Starting point is 03:40:52 Can't believe he's calling me. What's reds you say? Ah, yes. Oh. How well, how about? Oh, to shreds? Ah, yes. Well, oh, you...
Starting point is 03:41:09 Ah, you need a delivery. Immediately? Well, I'm afraid it's going to have to wait until next Monday because my employees have the next couple of days off. Growth. He hangs up. Good news, everyone. We have a new delivery.
Starting point is 03:41:32 It's one of my oldest and dearest. friends. He's a bit of a weird, obnoxious guy once you get to know him. Once he gets to know him, and he says he's always throwing, he's always talking about pies and stuff. He's a weird
Starting point is 03:41:49 guy. But he wants this first edition, limited edition, large mouth William Trout themed to December week. And I
Starting point is 03:42:03 I just happen to have what Liger out. And I would have said that we could go right away because it'll play a pity, pity, petty. But you all have heard the six day weekend. And although it is Monday, I think we should all go to think Agathos is the equivalent of Friday. And that is where the story is.
Starting point is 03:42:30 Six day weekend, one more did you want. want. We end stories. That was great. That was unbelievable. I adored that. Holy shit. I won an ending.
