Welcome to Legends of Aventress. Here's what happened last time. Just above a quiet deli, known as Gino's Deli. Very creative. You know I saw on a document once. Which one? How to make the one that you fanning yourself with. Oh, this one?

I'll be sipping carrot juice. Talk me off a little bit of that one. Good thing. I have a nice bunch of here for carrot juice. I don't know. I put some liquor in there. Oh. Just a touch.

You know what? I call me knuck them. Stone chair. Why? Because I got knuckles. We're gonna heif a museum. We could have just used these air vents and waiting for some fucking ducks. I'm just gonna...

You drop down to the marble floor of the interior of the Galtican Museum of, well, Caldica. You need to find a way to get this massive artifact out. The four of you and the ten of your children with the crates under each arm are able to make your way through the windows and over the threshold of the grass and immediately, to the getaway vehicle. The casino where the money is held by all the gamblers is the real prize. On the eastern shores of Vyona, there lies the great city of Galtica, staring out into a dark and turbulent ocean.

This is a place of business and commerce for many, a place of opportunity for some, and home to hundreds of thousands of creatures that make up the many burrows, boroughs and districts within the city proper. Its history is old and storied. Older, certainly, than the noble families that would call themselves its rulers, for Galtica has no king or sovereign. In spite of this, or perhaps because of it, Galtica perseveres.

This is a hub of many, many races from across the mortal plain and even beyond, and thus is a city of great spectrums. tremendous wealth and oppressive poverty, festivals and fairs and crime and corruption, adventure and intrigue, indulgence and hedonism, a city of many faces both literally and figuratively. Each of its myriad wards and neighborhoods houses humans, teaflings, dwarves, elves, dragon-born, and half another world of humanoid creatures. Merchants can be heard from nearly every corner calling out the contents and wares of their Each street brings its own flavors and smells and spices from the many clustered street cart food vendors and cafes and taverns and eateries.

If you can think of it, you can probably find it here in Big Goodberry. Tonight, we find ourselves in the bustling district of Australia. I'm sorry, little filiberephia. Yeah, that's right. Just above a quiet deli, known as Gino's deli. It is here that you all find yourselves now staring down at Count them. 100,000 gold pieces.

Hmm. The total payout for successfully delivering the complete skeleton of a massive behir from the Gultican Museum. A job well done. Now is your chance at the big one. This rare opportunity may require significant investment, but could mean more money than you can be. mean more money than you could rightly spend in two lifetimes or three.

How you approach this job, how you plan for it, and work together to achieve this ultimate aim is up to you. You're probably wondering why I called you all here. I know I gave you the whole plan earlier. You know exactly what we're doing. Ah, Timon speak it up a little bit. Oh, what? You gotta project for the microphone.

Huh? Why are you whispering? I mean, for the wire that I'm... I mean, you're like, I mean... What did I say about mentioning the feds? You're gonna give me a heart attack. I'm finally gonna have the big one. Where my doc is always saying,

Gino, you gotta stop eating all that gabagoole. And mufelet. So, uh, and what's the plan, boss? Ooh, some galamar would be nice right now. How about we get some galamara and talk about the plan afterwards? What do you think? Oh, no, it's tonight! It's wobble here!

Yeah, but to be fair, we are just right upstairs from the deli, so all you have to do is walk downstairs, grab some Galamah, and then come back upstairs. It would take like two minutes. Well, I mean, I got to get up the friar going here. Let me get a little bit of some gabagool, and I'll snack on it. Here, let me go to... Oh, I'm still wearing my bathrobe. I wasn't expecting company, even though you arrived exactly what I told you to. Well, the store's closed, Bob.

You can go downstairs in your bathroom. Okay, as long as no one's trying to trick me so I can put on any lifts. Is he doing that again? Oh, it's Tintan. Are you closed? I hope he's closed because there's no one downstairs running the deli. You can hear a long line of people outside the store. What the fuck? What the fuck?

What a staff in the front desk? What a registered? Gosh, all these healthcare regulations, that's why the belly is failing. I'm gonna'allin' Hold on a sec. Let me just get some gabagool here. Let me find my slippers. Looks like we'll be going into this heist just as unprepared as last time.

No, we're actually prepared. Remember, and oh, we gotta spend this 100,000 gold pieces, not at the track. I'll be right back. I shuffle up to get some gobble gau. All right, so now that Gino's gone, we should actually make a plan. It would be nice to have one this time. this time. And probably not tell him about it because he'll just confuse it with a different plan. That might be for the best. I mean, he still has some other details he hasn't given us.

So, I mean, all we know is that it's a casino. I think that's it, right? And that we're robbing it. We don't even know what we're robbing. Yeah, sure. But we have strengths, right? So we can talk about what we could do with our strengths and how that might come in handy with a casino heist. Agreed. And I'm not sure that it's... His background knowledge was all that helpful last time around, to be very honest. He got confused about a lot of things. I've gone back to that museum every single night since at the exact same time looking for those ducks. I feel horrible.

Why would you return to the scene of the crime? Because those ducks... They always do. Those ducks is going to show up and wonder why we're not there. I got to let him know that the deal's done. It's true they were a huge looseness. I'll have the question then. Who made Gino Boss?

I mean, who wouldn't it wrong? Oh, Gino, oh, welcome back. Oh, it looked like Tony Soprano and like half of the episodes. And then like, eat louder them. It's just because he went up the stairs. Yeah, I went on the stairs. It's a little work out. You know, Ron's is always saying I gotta work out moment.

I say, with those 12 creaky wooden stairs, that's like a gym in my belly. I failed to include this in your mastermind details, but it's about 10 days from now. Oh, it's 10. Oh, thank you. You have all night to plan. I brought all.

I've got a black ski masks on. I'm not hired a babysitter tonight. I brought all of my bombs. I'm like so ready. Yeah, you guys are geared up sweating from the end. I'm wearing breath knuckles. Pletcy's like, you're really putting a gun back into a grenade. I bought enough for everybody and some mutter down, too.

I couldn't help you melt myself. Here you go, here you go. Oh, no, thanks. Did you grab me a fresh jug of milk from downstairs? You need you right now again with the milk. While you're down there, get me some carrots. Be a love. Again with the kids.

Oh, my goodness. You guys are you going to, what am I, what am I, an athlete here? And my Paralympian athlete, have to go up and down these stairs. I'm an old man. I'm not gonna make it. So were you gonna get us to melt? Fire, I'll go to my ice bun. Hold on.

Picture of help. You hear him going down the stairs about three steps and then just a sound of like a... I'm sure he's gonna be fine. So did you hear what he said when he came back up? We got 10 days until the heist. 10 more days than I thought we had. Wait, so then what are we doing, wearing all this?

And I'll take all the black, you know, turtleneck all. But you've still got the black makeup around the eyes. Yeah, it's all still there. Yeah. It's all still there. Yep. Well, because, I mean, I'll think we should use at least a portion of the 100,000 gold to upgrade my, you know, RAMCOT. You know, the getaway vehicle. And I think we should use a portion of the 100,000 gold to get me some more.

incendiary powder. Oh, that's a thing? How do you think I've run my bombs on pixie dust and hope? I mean, that's half of it. I mean, that's sort of, right. It's a same thing. It's actually most of it, yeah. Flammable, you know.

But I do have to have a little bit of incendiary powder to get the pixie dust to really make that kaboom, you know, that I like so much. I do know, and you so I'm wondering. And the best part about it, the pixie dust mixed with the glitter, it's like these tiny little plastic shrapnel's that just tear through people. Right. Oh, hey boss.

Can they have my milk? I stopped to use some olive soup. I couldn't help myself. I had an olive grease everywhere. And it just makes everything. You hear through the open window. Are you open or not? I just want a sandwich. I can hear you.

Get a job, hippie. I have a job. That's how I'm going to pay for the sandwich. You hear him leave. Good job, baby. Fuck. Did you pick that up? Did you remember my carrots? Oh, yeah.

Well, the carrots are now covered in olive oil and milk. Do you put one of them? I'm a mother of 10, I've eaten weirder things. Hold on, hold on. Here, let me, let me dry it off. Oh, let me, I'll do that. Hold on, hold on. I have wipes.

It's funny. No, I got it, I got it. I dropped it. Oh, God. Put them fur on this one. Hold on. Maybe I don't want it. Hold on.

I'm going to, I'm going to. I'm putting them under my arm as I'm putting him up. Ego. Okay, eat up. Salty. You're going to eat. of the 10 days before the hype. Tonight's the big night, you know, well, I'm not,

who's going to clean up always the 10 days of high Christmas. Always for Vinny to, uh, to come by to clean all this shit out. We'll leave it here. A boss, we might want to shut the window. It seems like the customers that are trying to get into the shop can hear everything we're saying. God, these young folks are so entitled these days. It's like, oh, it says Gino's deli, opened late every night. It's three in the afternoon.

These entitled young folks, they come in and with their, it's like, oh, hey, I demand and deserve avocado toast and rent that allows me to survive. So, so entitled, unbelievable. Can you believe these young folks? There's four guard out there in line. Maybe we should drop our voices a bit. What? Why are you whispering? Right, I'm going to shut the window when I fly over.

You're a brandish, you know, did? What, my brand, gene? I am Gino's deli It's in the name And you close your dinner rush Look at the line And I like walk, look at the window And there's something

There's like a lot of He actually bought the deli From another person named Gino He was his spelled with an eye And I just added Three lines up there That's amazing The middle one fell off

So it's just Jekuno Well, once Vinny gets back from visiting that quail fellow, I'm sure he'll open up shop. I'm sure he'll be back at a reasonable time. He's a very responsible young lad. All right, so what's the job?

Oh, so tonight is the first night of the ten nights before the night of the heist night. You follow him? Yeah, do you think the next time you tell us we've got to come over for the heights that you could maybe preface it with all of that other information first. You think I should include it in the invite in case the feds get it? I do think you should stop.

There's reptilian insectoid hands all over my plan. I do think you should stop emailing us to let us know when we're meeting for the heist and maybe find some other way to let us out. I'll have you know that AOL is very secure. Who told you that? The guy who sold it to me down at the hardware store. Did he sell you one of those? old CD discs that you put into your computer?

He said, he felt me a dip and he said, hey, just shout into this very loudly. It'll be very secure. And an owl will come and bring it. What are you talking about? Why, it's called the anytime owl. Lettuce? Letters. That's what I can do you name?

Anytime owl letters. They are well. You can read to me at Gino Mufiletta 64-Dellie W-W-U-Dash and AOL.com. I just figured it was an alternate spelling of owl. Oh. You look at the disc, and it just says A-A-A-A-O. Oh, that was that says?

How was anyone supposed to read this? How is anyone? Why do I prep sessions? All I have to do is they start. That's all I have to do. You're in a room. Hold on, okay. Now, I have all the details.

I met with Miss Lady, and she gave me all of the details. So, why are you looking at the map of the museum from our last time? Oh, is that what this is? Oh, no. I spent the last two weeks studying this. It's funny and we'll reconvene. Hold on. No, I'm sure I have, I'm sure I have the details from Miss Lady.

Hold on. As he rolls up the map, you can see that all the details were written on the back of the back. Hold on. It's got to be somewhere. It's got to be somewhere. Oh, ah, my foot. There's glass everywhere. Be careful.

Be careful. Watch your foot. Watch your step. Okay. So Miss Lady had provided this as I said. She promised. So the mark is the silver lining casino right next to Goodberry Square. You know the place.

Right. It's the biggest... I mean, we all live here. We know the place. Yes, the biggest casino in Galtica at the present moment. Isn't it like the biggest casino in all of Avantra? Oh, yeah, probably, yes. I'm just very, you know, insular.

I only care about Galtica, you know what I mean? I don't care about the rest of Avansansans. Okay, yeah, continue. Okay. I just think that it's meaningfully important, you know? Oh, oh, that's worth... Oh, I see. I have a lot written down here.

So Miss Lady says, and I had this delivered via AOL, she sent an A-A-A-A-A-O-L, you know what I mean? Wait, so you're telling me that you used A-A-A-A-A-A-O-T to deliver a message on the back of the map we used for the last heist. Yeah, why? Do you think that would incriminate us in case anyone infected in it? It's not only planning a height,

but also as the culprits of the previous heist that we successfully executed on the text. No, I think we're probably fine. Yeah, we're probably fine. You're right. Anyways, Silver Lion's Casino is right next to Goodberry Square. What else is in 10 days? I'm sure you all know. It's probably not just me because I have a sports gambling habit. Habits. Not an addiction. Habit.

It's a big game, bro. It's a big game. Right. Oh, that Fleen Float game you're talking about all the time? Yeah, the Grand Fleenflail Championship. Yeah, who's playing this year? You can see if it says, uh, stock up. for the big game because

these fucking genie owns the right and if anyone uses, if anyone said that in their advertising, he'll sue you. So who's playing in the big game this year? Oh, well it's a bunch of different teams. The whole championship. It's kind of like the World Cup but also the Super Bowl. So who are you

going to vote for? Oh, I got a guy on the inside. I got a favorite team. Yadda really uh, the odds are low. But I'm stand to make a lot of money if they pull through. That's my betting strategy.

Look what I've had the biggest payout and just bet on that. It works for me. That's a sound. It's very sound. That's how I do. That's what I do when I go to the track. Anyway. For those of you who didn't join us last time, Gino is in tremendous debt.

Anyway, so the whole point is this casino. On the night of the big game, the finale. Allie, the final. So we'll see who's in the final match. And then that's when I'll make my real bet, you know, but I have my bracket all filled out. You guys want to join my regular Flemfuel team? That's pretty funny.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I like that joke a lot. Thank you. I appreciate it. Instead of fantasy fling fell, yeah. Yeah, it took great. Because we're in a fantasy world, I don't know,

this magic all around. Very whimsical anyways. Thanks for the explanation. Thanks for bear explaining that. You know, okay, so anyway, it says, I don't know how anyone reads any of this. Who's handwriting? Oh, it's mine. Okay, so typically the casino, you have that, on an average night, you have a few hundred thousand.

Well, it's based on the way your writing looks, I think you're he wrote it with your glasses off. Oh, yeah, that looks a lot clearer. I can finally read it. Okay, but for the championship, people from all over of the answers are coming in to our great city, bringing in and they're spending the money, they're placing bets.

They're even taking bets via AOL this year I've heard. And there could be half a million to one million gold pieces. One million gold pieces of casino on that night in 10 days. I mean, all in the same place? All in the same place. Can you believe that? Well, if it's all in the same place and it's unciratively out of this world.

Well, I mean, probably literally and figuratively they'll probably have some crazy demons or some shit. Aliens or something, I don't know. That's why I've thought of everything and prepared it. Oh, and I've had the foresight to prepare everything we need. But we need to spend the hundred... So, Jakes, just please continue. Oh, so, we need to get in,

we need to get out that could also be up to five million gold pieces get in for them okay so a million or maybe five million between one of five million what time of day is the heist going on i thought you originally said it there was it was between half a million to a million now it's half a million to five million? Also, if there are really demons involved in the security, I don't think I want my children to help with this one. Probably, I mean, why don't they just help around at the shop? I mean, I don't want to pass up on free child labor. That's true. But I also don't want to endanger them if there

is out of this world security. So I think Knuckles had a lot of really important questions that you have kind of avoided answering boss. Yeah. Do you remember what questions are just asked? Oh, no, because the championship, regular flea and fill the million gold. You silly billy. So the tournament's going to be three to five million at least. We're not talking about money at the tournament for us. No, no, no. They're showing up the casino and placing the bets.

And that's why there's so much money. That's why there's so much money. Yeah, you know how there's a section for like, oh, I could have gone to this track of the game, but I'm going to go to casino and just look at all the numbers. Is it going to be in a safe? Is it going to be in a vault? It's going to be in a vault. Yeah, there's always a vault at these places where they keep them.

You know what I mean? and they got the tell us. There's always a vault at these places? Yeah. The background work you've done on this ice? There's a vault. Yeah, no. I mean, that's about all I got here.

That's what I've done. Is there a map? Is there a map? No, there's no map. It's very secretive. I've squeezed all of my sockets. Even Jerrimorg. Even Jerrimorg.

Even no shit. Was Jeromark, that guy we had to meet up with after the last time? Oh, yeah. And was that? I squeezed him for all he was worth too. Oh. Anything good? No, not really.

You can tell he doesn't eat much pineapple. What? I do love piniacaladas. Yeah, boss. Anyways, the main problem with three to five million gold pieces. Yeah. Is that, you know how much one million gold pieces weigh? Just take a guess.

I don't know, one million pounds. About a million ounces. Ten tons. know that I'm not gonna do the conversion 20,000 pounds actually 20,000 pounds and I know how much electron pieces then I don't boss I'm not even sure what what the conversion rate is any that neither why it was a genuine question a lot of election I still don't know there's a lot of hypothetical questions I'm that why is that relevant you asked that every time I just am curious you know I'm

just one electric pieces that is you know we all go now we don't know what to It was the last time you saw an electric anyways. I don't think I've ever seen an electric piece, to be honest. So the best time, the vault is going to be at its fullest during the final game, because all the last minute bets. It's very classic. So, and a flea-flow game takes about two hours to four hours, depending on how clean the game is, the final game.

So we have a window of two at about a minimum. If they clean up, that's two hours. But if they take a long time, they're going some overtime, four hours if we're very lucky. So, we gotta get in, get many tons of gold pieces out, and we also need to let them think that they've caught the culprits. They can't let it be a mystery because then we'll live the rest of our lives and feed. And also they'll eventually catch it. Okay, so you're saying with this heist, not only do we have to get the money out, which

is about 20,000 pounds worth of money. Times five. Times five. Potentially, for lucky. Okay, that's a lot. What's 20 times five? We didn't get as much loot as we can. A hundred, I think.

A hundred thousand pounds worth of gold pieces. Yeah, how much is that? Do you think you can carry that? Not gold? You're strong, guys. No, I'm not done. I'm not, I'm not done asking my question. So we have to get 100,000 pounds worth of gold pieces out of this casino

within potentially two out. of going in and we have to what was the other thing we had to do we have to get we have to let them think that they oh we have to let them think that they caught whoever actually did it because yeah we need a path theater oh shit yeah he was de foggoy I'm still working on that I did hear a thud and an owl is smacked into the window that would have made it in if you arrived in my WWWW That's not your email, though. Ignoring the pile of owls that will slowly accumulate

over the next 24 hours, you plan the heist. You talk about your strengths. You talk through additional details. By the end of the evening, you feel very confident that you know what you need to do for the next 10 days until the night of the heist in order to get what you need to get and get out. It's the night of the heist.

You are all five, four of you, all five of you, you and the Patsy. No, the four of you stand in front of the silver lining casino. It's this eight-story tall building that's been constructed almost ziggarotidly, to use a word that I just made up. Teared? To make it, well, if you're picturing the crag from the television show, Guts on Nickelodeon.

Oh my gosh, I haven't thought of guts. in like 20 years. What a good. You don't have it. I'm thinking about that jingle all day. All day. But the exterior has been like molded to look kind of

like a mountain. And the silver lining is that there's an illusion of a huge swirling cloud right at the very, very top that has this like unbelievable sheen around the edge of it. If you've ever seen those like fast motion,

I'm gonna be very anachronistic tonight. If you ever seen those like fast motion videos of an actual mountain and you can see the cloud just undulating that way, that's what's happening in real time as you look up at this. And every 20 minutes there's a thunderstorm like rainforest cafe.

Oh, it's just like the rainforest cafe. For sure, for sure. It's like I'm really in the jungles of chalk. It's like there's really a garralin. Oh, look at the paper mache face. You think these tanks of water used to have fish Yeah, probably. It looks like an aquarium.

Why does it smell like chlorine? Probably kill all the fish. And you know that they serve lava cake, but it's not very good. It's disappointing. It's always dry. How do you screw it up? It's crazy. It's always dry.

I don't understand it. They have a good flat bread though. Oh, do they? Oh, do they? Oh, wow. I've never had food from a rainforest cafe before. The streets are packed. The exterior of this casino glows.

glows with bright lights. This fit is over. You're done. Shut up. Then a fucking rainforest cafe jokes. You can see owls flying in all directions. There's a man with a suspenders over his shoulders, holding up a big tray. He's going, soup pops for sale.

Oh, it's a soup kake vendor. There's a, nope, that doesn't happen. That's not real. And there are people who are going from the casino placing bed to Goodberry Square where the actual game is being placed. People are finding their seats, buying tickets, finding their way in. Families of all shapes and sizes, friends laughing, enjoying flagons available right there on the walking street. As you walk in through the revolving doors in front of this casino, you're able to see these huge chandeliers, brilliant carpets. You see game table after game table after game table.

You can even see the place where people are rushing in and long strings of people and lines waiting to place their bets on whether or not they think the Mighty Trunks or the Bloodhawks are going to be able to win through the day. Mighty Trunks odds are better than they probably than you would expect. But still, the Bloodhawks are previous champions, and they are undefeated. flawless victory after flawless victory

4-0-4-0-4-0 and now the final game of the night and you can feel the excitement and the energy not just here, not just in the streets, but in all of Galtica to enjoy this amazing celebration of athletic skill. What do you all do? Gino, out of curiosity, did you bet one of the people who'd won a lot or hadn't won a lot?

I mean, do you see the odds on the mighty Trump? So the ones that haven't won a lot? It was like 75 to 1. I'm going to be rich. You bet on the mighty... Yeah, on credit, too. You could do that. Yeah, well, I borrowed.

I borrowed the gold. How do you really kneecaps left? He's what I want to know. Where did you borrow the gold from again? I'm from a very, very nice customer. He said, hey, it looks like he was a shock fellow. He was the shock folk. I went him down at the docks, and he gave me a very, very reasonable

alone. Very nice, very, you know, very reasonable. So what are we going to do about this heist, though? Oh. Yes, because that's happening in like 10 minutes. Just as you're saying that you hush your voice because

two of the casino guards walk right by you, and you can see that this is an already secure game floor. There are a number of very obviously dressed, but very obviously skilled protectors. people who are there to enforce the casino law, so in speak. Oh, you know what I was thinking?

And I don't want to step on your toes at all, boss, because you are the mastermind. I am the mastermind. But I was thinking it might be a good idea to have a different name for what we're planning on doing tonight. And then when in a casino, I was thinking we could maybe make it game-related, like we could call it Plinko or something. What about Bunko?

Oh, we could be the Bunko, buddy. Oh, yeah, we're all Bunko, buddy. Excuse me, what? Yeah, Bunko's this game. where you don't have to have any skill at all or whatever, you just randomly roll dice and whoever gets the highest roll purely by chance wins. It's an excuse to drink a lot of wine and talk a lot of shit about your friends.

Is that the best metaphor for a heist that I think we should probably put a bit more effort in thinking into? I don't know. I really like that suggestion boss. I think we should vote on it. Well, you know, I had a cousin named Bunko. He was Bogo's brother. He's Bogo and Bunko.

And was this sort of like a scheme? You know, like paying when he's dude after all, like the same kind of convention? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was the Uncle Bongo. He was very, he was very proud of his name. You all know in this moment that Gino is going to keep an eye out for the King's Whistle. The moment when the game begins can be heard even outside of the stands. Even here in the casino, you'll be able to hear the cheers of the crowd and the gaspest.

of exhilaration as the game proceeds. Your job is to blend in. Until that King's Whistle sounds and he uses his shell phone to communicate with you that you need to meet at the first layer of security and do whatever it is that you've planned on doing. Yeah, you got to imagine. And everything will go according to plan, of course. You just need to find a game.

They come with free drinks. You could play roulette. You play hustle. You play slots. You play finders. You play matches. Um, the choice is yours. Oh, I'm really feeling the slots.

That's where I'm going. You know where I'm going. I'm going to be right at the slots. That just sounds fun. I don't think we should all be at the same place. You know, I think we should really spread ourselves out until it's time to meet up. So maybe I'll pick somewhere else, boss. Okay, well, I'm going to be at the slots.

They got the best drink service there. Everybody knows that I'm going to get so many years old-fashioned before that king's whistle. And you know what? I wanted to say before we all meet up, you know what's very strict? range that every team is named after a monstrosity in this world, except for the mighty trunks. It's a whole different thing. Why is that? Anyways, I'm gonna be at this launch. Keep the yield fashion to a minimum. Ah, is it causingogenic smoke. A man walks up. Ah, Gino, a yield fashion? Oh, you know my good man? I'm gonna be hacking up a great sludge soon enough.

Wouldn't have it any other way. It's like my grandma's house. So Gino goes to the slots. Over to matches for sure. Knuckles, what's your game of choice? Well, I already said, I'll do matches. Oh, matches. Matches sounds fun.

You can both enjoy some matches for sure. That's Knuckles and Clift. What are the other ones? Finders, hustle, and roulette. You know, I'm really feeling. and a little hustle. Okay, okay. Then we'll start there.

I'm just assuming matches it's just a fake memory game. I'm just like, oh. I thought that was there. I thought the apple was there. Like you to pick up to matches so that they have to like smash. Why would a rhino ever try and pick up matches?

I'm not a little of a rhino. I don't have like a gigi goose. Every single time. Every single time we play a hoon creature. Oh, I'm a rhino. I'm a rhino. I'm a rhino. It's Edmund penis hands.

That's how he drinks his wine. Glitzy, you sit at the table and... You know the rule, but just as a refresher. Oh, I don't know the rules. Minimum of one gold piece on the table. You can bet as much as you like. Players roll a D6 and a D4 in the open. And so you've rolled your D6.

in your D4. Oh, I have not, but I'll do it. I really need a glass of milk, though. Would you like any booze in that? No. Can you make it lukewarm, like room temperature? We can make it however you like, absolutely. Yeah, I'm gonna need that before I can roll these dice.

I'll be right back. Also, do you have dice that are smaller? These each one fills my entire hand. Of course, absolutely. We accommodate all sizes of people here at the silver lighting Oh, I love that. Thank you. I'll be right back with your dice and your lukewarm milk. Thank you.

Okay. I can't wait. He disappears between the crowd of people and not a few minutes past before he comes back with a tray. And it's a very tall high baller glass and a very small dice. Do you have a straw? Right here. And he pulled the straw under his apron. Oh, great. Thanks.

Do you have a smaller straw? I don't think that one will fit in my mouth. That's human-sized Well, we have one of these ones that we use To stir coffee with, the little red guys If I had a copper peat for every time I heard that I would have two copper peatins. That's really great.

If I put that in my drink, though, It's going to sink all the way down to the bottom. It's much shorter than the other straw. I'll be right back. Thanks. You get all of the beverage needs that you need, and there are four or five people sitting next to you at the table.

I'm chatting with them the entire time. Oh, you're talking to them. Oh, yeah. They're very annoyed that they can't continue with the game until you roll your dice, and they're getting increasingly frustrated. You know, my favorite- The casino, the person responsible for running the game is also getting drinks. No, no, no, she's talking to the servant.

The dealer is standing there professionally. Because I've said I won't roll my dice in, too. You know what my favorite thing to do is, random lady sitting next to me? What was your name? Darlene. Darlene, you know what my favorite thing to do is? What? Blow up people who are frustrated.

Where's the milk? Get this girl some milk. I like you, darling. You seem like you... How old are you? Guess. I don't know, 74? I'm 33.

Oh, great. You don't look a day younger than 74. Are you seeing anyone currently, darling? Her left eye blinks A little slower than the right eye. Are you seeing anyone currently? We're going to play the game now. I have to do it three more times.

I think we found our patty. I think we found our badsy. Okay, so I roll this publicly. That's a two. And then I rolled my D4 as the dealer privately. And you get two. If you hit 10, you double your money. If you hit, if you go above it, then you're bust and you get nothing.

But you can roll as many additional D4s as a hit similar to Blackjack as you want in order to try to beat the DLERV's value, and that's the game. So I don't roll my D6. You roll your D6 and your D4 at the same time. Right, and I add those. And then I keep rolling my D4 as I see that. If you want to go higher and try to get closer than that. Okay. Well, I rolled two ones.

Amazing. So I'm going to roll my D4. So you got to rerroll your D4. Roll your D-Rie. So now I'm at three. No, I don't. I actually, I saw it. So you got a two plus something.

I rolled another one. Okay. I'll stop at nine. You stop at nine. Everyone else is doing this in turn, hit this sort of thing, rolling their dice. And then the dealer reveals that they had rolled a one.

They got a three total. And so everyone who got more than three and didn't bust wins double their money. So you get a gold piece back. Great. I'd like to play again. And you do. But let's go over to Gino. I'm gonna need another glass of milk, though.

I finished this one. And you find it to swoop in a nice wide glass with two small handles that you can like hold and sit from. I don't like this glass. I really preferred the other one. The tall one? But we don't have long, thin straws tall enough. I refuse to roll again until I get my fucking gun.

No, just kidding. I accept the trouble. What do you do they have to buy a pocket watch or a grenade? Gino, roll a 3D6 for me. The most. I'm very skilled at this, you know. See, this is the one you have to worry about the most. Not me.

Do I add it all up? I'll give you separate. If no match, you get nothing back after your investment. If two match, you get a combined score of matching. dice in gold pieces and if three match you add double the combined score of matching dice Well you know

I always say the first one to warm up One gold piece called You know what It's a very special night Thanks for my third year old fashion Gregory His name's not a Gregory You know Gregory

Why is my Why is my sroll soggy made out a toilet paper? That's just a tube from the toilet. Why are you trying to get toilet paper in my mouth? You're not saving any turtles, Gregory. You're not saving any turtles, okay?

That's your seventh old fashion. So you want an eighth? What, you can't fucking count, Gregory? I'm discounted. This is my third and old fashioned all have me. Now, I'm going to put, I'm going to whip out my platinum pieces for this. I'm going to, let's be.

Five platinum pieces. It's the same return. You can't, you can only get gold back. I don't care. You know what they say? Gregory, do you know what they say? Another old fashion? They do say that.

Good. You've been paying attention. Third time is a charm, Gregory. No zero. Gregory keeps coming back. And your third old-fashioned, sir. That's exactly right. I'm crying.

Okay, you know what they say after three locks in a row, you're duffing. Well, why don't we say double or nothing? Double and nothing. I don't think that's how the slots works. Double or nothing, Gregory, make it do it. Make it. That was good, she was good with computers. Man, there's all fancy newfangled jangling bells or whatever.

I don't want to play a game. I just want to pull the bar machine. Look at the pretty light and the rotating thing. At this point, he just has a pressurized tank on its back, premixed old-fashioned. Oh, yeah, like. Hold your glass out. Ooh, whew.

Ah, smell that cigarette smoke. It's sitting in my lungs. It's the bottom of my lungs now. Look, this is the big one. I'm going to win that big prize, that big pot up there, Gregory, you know? Okay. So there's no pressure.

And that's how slots work. Laura, Knuckle, you find yourself a very luxurious round table is red velvet on the surface. And you'll have a minimum of five gold pieces to invest, but you'll each take turns rolling 46 for three rounds. You keep matching numbers. And the first one to have four matches before the three rounds are up wins,

but if no player has matching dice by the end of three rounds, the player with the highest dice total wins. This is a bunka, basically. It's a pot. It's a bunca. Five gold pieces. There's a pot of, let's say, 30 divided by the players at the table, and you're able to roll your... Did you just get that?

46. 46, absolutely. Also, much like real gambling, I immediately don't understand those. Okay, so roll 46. Do any of the mess? No. But they're in a row. So you roll them again?

Are there straights in this game? Yeah. I'm a royal watch. There should be. The dice poker would be a really genius game. That's for round one. Roll again. All of them?

Yep. Ooh, I got two fours. Keep the fours. Okay, you both match one, but you get to roll another 46 for the third round. Another four? Roll all of them again. Roll all of them again.

You have, you would, I don't think that you, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah. You count that you have one match, You are rolling 40-60. Oh, I got three. I was watching match game the other day, and the fellow was a rat.

He was talking about Smorgasbord. It's very funny. Let me just very quickly. Are you talking to? Who are you talking to? A random lady at the slots next to me. I'm sorry, what were you saying? She just turns down her hair.

I did terribly. None of the other players have any matches at all. You have two matches. two matches. Because you had match in the second round and match now. Oh, I know. You have three matches

because you have a match from the previous and a three and a three and a three. So that will be the win to you. So 30 gold pieces get slid across the velvet to you and you continue to play. You see a glimmer in my eye where I too may develop a habit.

I just can't fucking reach. A habit for a rabbit makes sense. Aw, I love that for her. And as you guys are continuing to play and get more and more luxurious, you hear this sudden sound, this high pitch, wee, wee, you can hear these, these, ah, not courageous, but like these,

these clockwork like devices are opening and closing like beaks almost, and they are screaming out into the area. And you can see a extremely drunk and rude and violent patron getting pulled out from, and away from one of the tables. He's clearly lost it, screaming. Is that, you know.

Look at that jacket. What? Can't hold his leg. Oh, she's got a. Look at that jackass. What? Look at that jackass. There are chickens in the casino.

Oh, there's some chicken tennis. Thank you, darling. Oh, look at that jackass. I think I lost. I got three crowns in a row. Oh, yeah, no. Yeah, I'm just going to get up and walk away. Walk away.

Yeah, get a hand. Oh, you pull the platinum pieces out, and you actually break each. then. Outrageously. And the guards are on top of this guy immediately. And from almost seemingly nowhere, from the wall, what looked like perhaps

an ornate decoration of some kind, some sort of piece of art, like corporate art or something, animates, and suddenly jumps down and iron bangles, grab around his arms and pull him in. It's just like that moment in Doctor Strange

when he throws that wacky contraption at the villain. You weren't kidding, about your description. Oh, it's going to be very inachnistic tonight. He gets strapped into place and he is frozen. You can hear he can't even... Which contraption was it? It was a... From the Doctor Strange picture.

It was literally like the iron bangles of Shoshah, Shasha. I can't remember. Is that from the first one? In the first one, yeah. I don't recall that. I never thought that one. Well, it's also a D&D object and you may or may not recall that Percy had one in the first season of Critical Role.

I don't recall that either. Basically, you get hit with one of these things, and it completely locks up your legs, your torso, your arms, and it makes it impossible for you to speak. It is very effective against majors of all types. I will immediately get up from the matches table and rush over to make sure that it's not Gino, who's being the belligerent drums that's being taken away.

Sorry, I saw the chat recognize what I was referencing. and miss what you were actually asking me. So I'm going to get to the table and make sure that the drunk that's being taken away isn't Gino. So I'm just going to like, I'll sort of beat. Make a perception check. You're able to see over the head for most, given your rhinoceros-like size. That is a... That is a...

Ten. I would say even with a 10, it's pretty evident that this person is not a geno. It is... You can see a frock of red hair coming from... between the bands and you breathe a sigh of relief. It's in this moment and of silence in the casino that as the murmurs are starting to come back up, that you hear the sound of the announcers from across the street from the very square. Okay.

Come on and slam and welcome to the jam. Welcome to the final 42nd Grand Flein' Flell Championship. My name is Tank Hammerfall, and I'm very bad. Welcome everyone, welcome all. And before we get started, I believe we have a very special little something. A local Gultigan, I'm sure you all know, is going to sing the Galtigan anthem. Moments later, you can hear this quiet voice. Oh, Sve.

And it goes on. You know that this means it's time to alert the gang, the crew. It's time to slam. Okay, how do I, you all hear, how do I turn this thing on? Why is Wish Glitzy with you gonna help me with you? Boss, we can hear you, boss. Yeah? It's on.

Clearly, how do I turn the shell phone on? We're not here. Where are you? I'm right behind you, boss. Oh, there you are. It's go time. Go trunks. Oh, is that like, oh, God.

You know, when you see that, is that the signal? No, what I mean? Look at everyone. They're all looking up at those major images. There's the game being displayed all over the walls. So, where should we meet? We shall all mean a security. Would that be inconspicuous enough for this?

No, it's worth the least expect of. Am I understanding? Am I understanding that correct? You know that there are many ways to get to the back. And we're going to go to the back. And so of the many entrances and because of your thorough planning and precision coordination of the team, you know that one of them is almost certainly going to be the most overlooked. And in your due diligence, you know that.

the two guards who typically stand there are probably not paying as close attention to the door because they're both huge flingflow fans and they need to sort of move to the side a little bit in order to see that major image. Yeah, the two guards that are at checkpoint data, they come into the deli for lunch every day and they won't shut the fuck up about fleam flour.

I guarantee you that they are searching on the job. Also, the one on the left, his merit is falling apart, so he's turned to drink. So he'll definitely not be aware. That's a shame. I've neglected to mention two things. No, just one. Everyone should have already started with their own

starter twist of foresight. So if you haven't taken your token, make sure you have that in a person. It's a real fake to bloom. And now you can sneak into the back. And I would ask anyone who is intending to do so, and I'm assuming all of you, to make a stealth check. No, I need to pull up my carrot dish.

Ew. My choice. Oh, a stealth chick. I think I did all right. Uh, Karen Kuh. 17. Natural one. Oh.

Should we twist that? Uh, 23. I have a thing. Hold on one sec. Oh, are you a, are you a, you're not a hapling. We used rabbit folk. Yeah, yeah, I have, so that makes it a seven. It's just, I have this thing called Lucky Footwork.

footwork and it's a dex check thing but I think it's just straight death check no any deck a stealth check is a death a dex check does it work like that so technically it's like it's a dexterity check parenthesis stealth is like the way that you write that and so it's it yeah here it is when you fail a deck saving throw you can oh no it's a saving throw damn it oh yeah oh yeah oh is a footwork uh felt check I got a uh what is this I go wow plus nine I am very I'm so stealthy I got We've got a 27. 27. You put your ye old fashioned in one of the potted plants

right next to the animated gorillion. And you're not going? About 17. 17. And for you? As a group you succeed and you're able to, one of you clicks the door open and the three of you make your way in.

And just because you stub your toe. No, I like break my foot and everybody just walks through with a confusion. Oh, that's lucky. Good job. Should one of us cut it off and wear it around our neck as a token of a trinket? You can't say that about our very good friend, O'Lah? Oh.

Well, if you really wanted some good luck, you could squeeze the life out of me and create pixie slop. Is that a folk tale I'm not aware of? My blood is filled with magic. And it's called fairy slop? No, that's just what I call it. I'll stick to pork slap, thank you very much. Because it kind of looks like spaghetti paste or whatever. I'll stick to the pork flour.

Except it's purple. Orla is able to make it inside and keeps yourself relatively hush. It doesn't seem like the guards have noticed you, and you find yourself when the door comes to a clicking stop. In the quiet hallways of the back. It's here that you know that you're going to need to very quickly change your attire. It would be obvious that you would be obvious that you would our patrons of the casino that you shouldn't be back here without some security escort or

something along those lines. And while you think about what you're going to change into in order to not aroused suspicion by passing guards or as you get deeper into this casino, that's where we'll take a break.

The back area typically only accessible to waiting staff, to the guards, and to high rollers, who are taken to the high stakes table, which you know is your next destination. Before you can proceed, however, you know you must quickly change attire. And wearing what you wore, you are able to very quickly transform yourself as quickly as one could. But what do you look like?

Were we given any information that we would need to wear anything different for this? Iced. Different than a normal heist where you might be wearing heistery clothes? Yeah. You know that if guards were to come around the corner and see people wearing commoner clothes or heisting clothes, there would be a problem. They would probably deal with you the same way that was dealt with that the drunk... conquered was dealt with just before being wheeled out of the casino. And you can see on the walls.

In sconces, you can see at almost every corner these same strange mechanized creatures, still and unalerted, but ready to pounce on any intruders should they be alerted by the shriekers that are placed incrementally down in the hallway and the ceiling. Well, let's disguise ourselves as guards. is guards or should we do something a little more like and probably only plan for this, presumably. Oh, we did, but we did plan for this, of course. That's why, well, I'm a guard.

I forget, did we decide to all be guards? Well, no, I'm going to put on my guard costume, and, you know, the guy what I stole this from, he was about a medium that'll definitely fit. It's been a long time trying to button my guard outfit does not fit very well. wearing whatever a casino guard would have if I have that. And you have that option.

I would say at a minimal cost and without the need for a foresight twist, you are able to have the attire that you want to wear that you feel as appropriate to sell whatever it is that you're trying to sell should you run into an encounter. Gino looks like a garden. It looks just like all the men and women that you saw out in the game floor. I'm going heavy maintenance, and I'm carrying a ladder. Ladder from nowhere. Like a single zip-up, like, gray.

Yeah, it's a telescoping ladder. Oh, wait. It pops up 10 feet. Oh, we're doing maintenance? I'm doing maintenance. Should we all be a maintenance crew? No. I will take off my sweater.

and reveal a dealer's vest from my hat. I'm gonna pull out a little dealer's visor and then store just my, and so basically, I was wearing it the whole time underneath my clothes. All right, I think I'm ready to go. I am going to quickly change behind, like a something, like a chair. And I'm gonna change into, I don't know.

Why the trash can? I'm only nine, Nine and just tall, if you remember. Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. There's a potted plant. Yeah, so, like, I just go behind that and change really quickly. And I change into, like, one of the, one of, like, the sexy cocktail waitresses.

Amazing. Okay. And so, like, I just kind of fly around with a little tray and a couple of very small drinks. The top's, like, way too small for you. The top is way too small. One wrong move, and that's just... Amazing. You've been to Vegas.

Hey, Ann, can I get a year old fashion? Can you make an extra strong, please? Boss, it's me. It's Glitzy. Oh, Glissy, that's you? Yeah, do you like my outfit? Wow! I clean up nice, don't I?

I thought that you were going to get me one of them ordered down the old fashions. No, I couldn't carry you drink on my tray. I'm only nine inches tall. Yeah, that makes sense. I don't know how you carry those big jugs of milk. Anyways, we have great disguises. What a rag-tag band of security guard.

All just hanging out to the whole. You know what? It's like, where we all went to a Halloween party. A themed group costume. I love it. You can even hear muffled through the walls, the sound of the patrons of the casino, and maybe even more faintly, the outrageous uproar of the Goodberry Square Cross of the Street.

Oh, let me try to hear the score. Hold on. An explosion of sound, clearly there has been a score point of some time. Oh, I wonder who scored. I hope it's the trunk. I hope it's the trunk. sure it was and it was probably the people they were against. Fairly, certainly.

I watched one of their interviews and yeah, you think we're bad. All right, we should probably split up and go to all the places that we dress for, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna go to security guard here, the place. You should go to maybe like where all the guards are and if they have any kind of major image cameras. Oh yeah, I'll just, I'll disable the cameras. Great call. I mean, I'm disabling the cameras, knuckles.

Let's split up. Let's all do what we agreed to do in our planning. Did you give us roles for what we're supposed to do? Yeah, what your outfits are. That's exactly what you were supposed to do. Well, this was supposed to so that nobody thought twice about me being in any year. But, I mean, if you just want me to serve drinks all night, I guess I did. No, no.

You got to go find how to get to the inner in the back of the back. Am I waiting for some ducks? No, you should know. Maybe that's gossip of the other waitresses. Oh, that's a great idea. Tiffany, she is a gossip. Go talk to Tiffany. She gets over here, and I'm like, yeah, honey, yeah, honey, okay.

Which one is Tiffany? You'll know right away. All right, I'll go look for Tiffany. And that's what I'll do is I'll go look for Tiffany. It's the one that I make sure I sit in her area every time. Oh, I know what you're talking about. I'm going to take my ladder and head off towards. have decided I need to access a point of access.

The high-stakes tables room, somewhere in the back of this labyrinthine, a casino set of hallways that you find yourself in, you're looking for a red carpet that you know would please the nobles and other high-stakes rollers, high-rollers, who would want to play a game of chance or cards against, you know, in a heads-up fashion with a much larger sums of money and experience a little bit more luxury than they. they might in the common game floor.

And so the three of you start to make your way towards that space. While that happens, Gino, you make your way to security. And sure enough, you were able to go there. You know you've come here for a specific object. Do you all recognize him? Well, it will affect the advantage or disadvantage qualities of the source. I'm an answer to the sky, remember. It's provision.

But in the guards room, you were able to open the door. And it's not as packed as you would imagine. There's clearly many lockers and security apparatus in this space. You've come for the key to the lift that's on the other side of the stakes roller, the high stakes table's room. Hey, hey. Hello, fellow guards. Hello.

Are we needed outside? We were just taking five. Taking five. Have you been out there since the starting? What's happened? What's the score? I'm going. I was asking you. What's the score? No, no, no. We just came back in here

15, 20 minutes ago. We heard the screams. We assumed that the game is going well. For whom? I get the question. Well, that's... Didn't you just come in here? Have you been out there? Oh, yeah. No. the oh yeah the the mighty trunk has scored real big oh yeah you know they're they actually the underdogs this year and they're gonna win they have an underdog tail i i've heard that my kid has one of the masks it's hilarious

oh wow i know that he's got a they love the trunks that's right yeah i do you guys bet on the game we're not allowed to bet as scarred oh yeah no i didn't eat i was just checking you Anyway, you pass. You pass your test. I've been your, I'm actually an inspector sent here from corporate. As you're talking to this one individual, his comment in arms is looking at you very seriously. I don't gambling is a sin. And it's very, it's wasteful spending.

My name is, I'm from an, I'm an inspector and I, and you pass your, security training. I'm an expert trainer sent here from corporate. And so I also like you to show me where you keep your playbook for all of your sports betting

to make sure that it's the code. The playbook for all of our sports betting. Yeah, the silver lining's playbook. Make a deception check. That's pretty good.

disadvantage oh wait i gotta get it i gotta get some kind of advantage shit on this right how long have you been sitting on that joke all night yeah literally all night um i don't think i get anything yet oh whatever i don't do that da da da da da da da da of is your character again? I'm on road. Oh, so you'll be really good at this. Uh, seven. That's, yeah.

What are you playing again? We're just security. We're not running the game. You'd have to go upstairs for something like that. Ah, yeah. What's your, what did you say your name was again? Oh, my name? Yeah.

Oh, my name is Gene. Gene O. Malik. O'Malley. Gene O'Malley. That sounds vaguely familiar to me for some reason. There's a lot of O'Malley, you know? They just, you know, they have a lot of kids.

How long have you worked here? Oh, well, I'm from corporate, remember? I'm just visiting. On account of what the big game. And so you must be familiar with, the commander of corporate, Bladen. Bladen, ah, nice trick. Make a deception trick at advantage.

Until he died last year. Deception? That'll be a 20. A dirty 20. Yeah, nice trick. I'm the one who's testing you, remember. I'm all the way from corporate. Well, uh... Do you even know? Do you even know?

What do you know what do you want to what do you want to do you want to command his name? Are you an imposter? Actually I was told that there would only be one guard here actually now that I think about it from corporate my itinerary here is you can see I, when I'm not inspecting guards on a sloppy job, I care about the fine arts, my good man. Anyways, according to my itinerary, there's only supposed to be one here, so why don't I see your credentials? And the list path, too. Prove to me that you know where the list is. Well, we each have one. You can expect mine, and you can see my name right here.

My name is Bladen. Bladen. Okay. Thank you. You know, I have a great nephew named Brayden and Bladen and Graydon and Grayson. I don't know what they're naming kids these days. Can't believe that. Great.

Thanks a lot. You're free to go. You've succeeded with flying colors. Your holiday bonus is going to be very large. I'll put in a good word for sure. Okay. gentlemen, have a very nice day. What?

You leave? With his credentials. No, with the lip pass. You leave with the lift pass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, now make a sleight of hand. Okay, that was my intention to make a sleight of hand. Just pretend, pat it back onto his chest.

There you go. At advantage or straight? Does advantage? Ah, it's great. Okay. Slight a van. Fuck. Where is my slide?

Oh. That will be a tab. Ah, the lift path, yeah, yeah. You walk out and as the door slowly comes to a close and swings and swings shut, you can hear of, man, those inspectors are hard. And you make your way down in the hallway and you start to catch up with the rest of the crew. Three of you are now much farther along your journey. You've found the red carpet and you know that just around the corner, you'll be able to find the entrance to the high stakes room.

What have you been doing in this time? Is the lift to the high stakes room or is the lift past the high stakes room? Let me check my notes just to make sure that I have it. Why are the dogs angry about it? Just doing dog stuff. Just doing dogs though. Remy is fueled by rage and hunger. That's pretty much it.

You are going to go up a lift to get to the high stakes table. And then you know that there's a. secondary lift to get up to the vault, which is at the top of this tall casino building. His story is up. Chino, found a lift. I got the path for the lift. Good work. Okay, now just from where you came from, just go out the whole way and make a right and then another right.

And then a left, and then a right right after that left. And then we'll be right there. On the left. So there was right. You'll be right. Okay, got it. Over. Make an intelligence check.

I don't know what is that. Just right? Ten. It takes more time than you'd like. No guards come, but the three of you stand awkwardly in front of the lift for another 15 minutes, and you suddenly hear this muffled sound of an uproar of one team or another. Impossible to tell from within this building, but you hear the crash and the screams of excitement and of the sport.

Then Gino finally wanders around the corner and you see him spinning essentially, it's like a long crystal that he'll be able to use to engage the lift. Where have you been? I've been climbing up and down the first two steps of this ladder for 15 minutes, trying to look busy.

I've been trying to get to get this. See? I mean, this is the skeleton key. Can you believe this thing? It's a skeleton key. And now, with the gossip, what Glitzy got from Tiffany will know. I'm not even there. It's just the three of you.

Oh. That got from Tiffany, when she comes back, we'll have all the information we need to get to the back of the back. I don't. They believe that I was a guard inspect. Can you believe? me, you know, where are you? Well, you said it was just the three of them there, and so I assumed I was going to get gossip from Tiffany.

The three of you in front of the lift. Oh, I thought you meant including Gino. No, no, no. The three of you were waiting awkwardly in front of the lift, and Gino has just joined the phone. Got you, I was confused. I was not very clear. So now the four of you stand in front of the lift,

ready for Gino to apply the lift pass and make your way up. four floors to the high stakes room. Okay. No, no, hold on. Are we opening right up into that room or a hallway outside? Your understanding is that it'll open up right into the room. You know, before you do that, give me one second,

and I'm going to go over to the bartender. Hi, I need to get a unicorn for you know who, you know where. And I'm going to wink at him. Someone walking just past the opening of this hallway skips to a stop and turns out. You're new? No. They bring me in for the big jobs.

I'm the private pixie for you know who, you know where. Okay, sure. I look up. What, what, uh, what, what, what do you mean you're, you're, you're going up there for, is there? My understanding is that the high stakes roller table is closed for the game. That there's no one up there. tell you much do they when you're working down here the boss is gonna get really angry if I don't get the unicorn back up to him soon and that's not gonna look good for your little place your

little casino is it and I'm gonna like squeeze my boobs together I wish it was mine make a deception check advantage what's your name kid um you know what it's been a while since we've done this. Coves, he was Coves. No, his bloodlines ended. Apparently, my name is Jeanette. It's a lovely name.

It's Janet. Janet. It's not that much of Bennett. It's really nice to meet you. Yeah. The name's Twixie. Pixie the pixie. Oh, that's...

The best thing you can do in situations like this when you're working with big men like these is to just say yes and do what you're told. Can I get that unicorn with a 19? Right away. Thanks. Just, wait, wait, wait here. I'll be right back.

Keep your head down. Presumably to the kitchen. Ginette. He disapprored. beers around the corner and not five minutes later, he swings around and he's got this beautiful glass, this silvery, mercury-like substance, popping and cracking like fireworks at the top. And he lowers it down, you can even hear it. I have to use both of my hands to hold it on my little tray. It's a little heavy. It's almost metal-like in its weight. Oh, God.

You have a water carrier with like two cocktails hanging on. I just fly back to the group carrying this unicorn. And you have it. He, um... Thanks, Janet. I'll put in a good word for you with the men upstairs. Thanks, I need a raise badly. I bet.

All right. See you later, Tuts. I'll wink at him and fly away. Bye. He turns and walks on the back. Look, I brought us a unicorn. Did you give me the old fashion that I asked for? Gino, I did not go get a drink for you. The old fashion. If we're going to leave...

I'm not. drinking that shit. Gino, can you shut up for once? Sorry, boss. Sorry. I'm just a little nervous here. If we are walking out of the elevator into that room, we have to have a reason we're walking out of the elevator into that room.

This is the most expensive drink in the entire place. We were told that at the museum. So it's probably right here. You know what I mean? Oh, I don't understand. So, if we're going into a high-stakes room with the most expensive drink in the place, we could potentially have someone we're giving it to.

We met this bunny lady who was here to fix the air conditioning. Fixing the air conditioning. And they're ducks. You are the guard that had to come upstairs with me because I couldn't push any of the buttons because I had to carry the drink with both hands. And this gentleman right here is on a shift change and we were all riding up on the elevator on our own.

Oh, the classic coincidental. Got it. Okay. I love the flag. I mean, we all had to get up there, and you have to let us up because there's only one crystal. Oh, that's right. Everyone follow me.

I got the crystal. Here we go. You wave it, and you feel something magical in lock. And with just a push of the lever, you'll be able to take this from the floor that it's on now to its terminal point, the very top, and be able to make your way into the next space. Okay.

I have a phobia of elevators, though, if I start panicking. Just hold me down. Okay? It's a little tricky to get the ladder in there, but if you, like, collapse a few of the telescoping legs, no problem. Is it warm in here? I got to take care of an button. Do we have spicy food earlier?

You can feel yourselves getting higher and higher. What are you going to say? Do you need me to, you know, do the thing? I'm, like, trying to fly with the speed of the elevator, and sometimes I fly to fly your eyes. Sometimes I... Amazing. Should I do the thing?

You should probably do the thing. Do you know how many... No, they've had an inspector come in and take a look at the thing. I'd love the code, I'm sure, if they got fancy with people. I'm going to come behind them and just, like, squeeze him like this and just lift him off the ground. And, like, restrain him until we're at the top. Oh, thank you. Thank you, Knuckles.

You're very nice eyes on. I'm going to squeeze just hard enough to make him black out a little bit. Just cut off the oxygen, just enough. He's old, so I should be. You've been working out at the beach? Is that the way that's always stand in your pants? You get his blood pressure.

And then you hear a light ding and the door's open. And you're staring out into. a very dark room. I'm putting you a down. It's like a little bit. Uh-huh. Are all right.

You should lead us onward because you're the God. Oh, that's right. You know, God, he's high security. No, I'm going to, I'm an edge past. I'm like, excuse me, excuse me, and come in with my ladder. It's really annoying about it. You look extremely confident in doing so. As if you're here for a purpose, you know exactly why you're going to maintain.

and you walk into this space and no one's maintained harder Jeanette was not lying this room has closed for the game it is empty there isn't a single person

in the heroic room there is a bunch of dark gaming tables you can see a luxurious bar with a faint glow no one manning it at first glance there doesn't seem to

anyone in there but you do feel a very peculiar sensation when you walk into this room I need everyone to roll an Arcona check it's a D12 okay I'm just going to do it's a 12 three it's about I guess everyone who have here pressured me and not using D&D beyond and rolling real dice can go foof of himself 13 well let's see maybe it's your two-minute with magic, with the

faywild, with something immediately hits you when you go in here and you realize that if you wanted to use magic,

you wouldn't be able to in this space. High rollers, people with great wealth, nobility, certainly have an incentive to cheat. And it seems

that this entire space has a anti-magic field to it, for lack of a better word. Would it be our understanding from the conversation that she had with Janet? Janet? This is close for the night.

That was the implication, yeah. Yeah, so that's what I can tell is that there's no magic use in here. No, good thing that we came prepared for that. We became prepared for that? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Everybody would be insane for them to allow magic at the high roll of table Somewhere they could come in and say oh I can read your mind be Oh, I win the whole pot

So that's why you have all those challenges And you pack, right? That's why you bring in all that stuff What are you talking about? Boom without the, you know, you got the boom and the boom The magic and not magic No, that's all powered by magic Oh

Well we'll get out of this place quick Oh hopefully we don't need explosions Yeah, even for me to use my, like, laser dance magic. It spells. So he's, I mean, he's the vault. The vaults pass this way. Let's go. Oh, okay. This is a great circular room.

You do spy on the other side, what appears to be another vault door that would take you further up. It is. We're the back of the back of the back now. It looks like I convinced that poor kid to get a, a free unicorn for no reason so no it'll come in handy well it's really heavy y'all think it no i don't think that's a good idea gave it to me can't it over the knuckles can you handle enough lift wait there another left yeah you're basically at four four maybe five at this point and tell me another few stories to get up to what you believe it to be the location of the vault

Okay. Nothing happens. Oh, those gods probably don't have access to the higher floors. Is he some kind of trick? Oh, no. The guy I was talking to was an absolute moot. He definitely didn't have access to the

back of the back of the bag. So what are we going to do? You get a sense that the reason why the wand isn't working is because it's being affected by the same anti-magic. Oh. I thought it was like a chip or something. You thought what was like a chip or something?

Oh, this is sour cream and onion? Oh, I love sour cream and onion. Oh, I love sour cream. Do you have any cheddar and sour cream? The orange ones, those are my favorite. That's really hard to find. They have to have the ruffles in them, though. I don't like the flat ones.

No, we don't care. That's very expensive to stock in the deli. We don't have those. We just made a hundred thousand gold pieces. But it was all sitting in the, in what wasn't the... I'll take this sour cream I'll take this hour cream out. Okay, there we go.

Well, first of all, we need to get this door open. Well, we should spit out and see what's doing. Oh. Yeah, do we see any other access points to the room? Make an investigation check, anyone who cares to look around. I will definitely look around. How about that? Glithy, why don't you take a look over there?

I'll help you. Does that make me an advantage? Oh, thank God. Oh, you should have helped someone else. Investigation you said. How does 11 feel? 11, 19. 5. 2.

Maybe it's because you have a ladder. Your eyes go up immediately. You realize that just above the bar there's an opening. And I very unusually. there is a giant single eye staring out from a hole in the behind this bar. Just still or like active?

It looks entirely still, but it strikes you as very unusual right away. Does anyone else see this eye? I hadn't seen it before, but now I'm wondering how I could have possibly missed it. It's gigantic. They probably aren't watching us. All of my,

Intel said that they didn't have constant eyes on this place. Did the Intel actually tell you that? Is that something you're just saying? You know, Orla, I know that I am the Black Bear with Climbs, and that's kind of my thing, but since you've been lugging that ladder around, why don't you take a look at it on the ladder? Honestly, I'm looking forward to an opportunity to use it.

So I'll go over and, like, prop the ladder, climb up, and I'm just going to check it out. I think maybe I should cast and detect magic on it. You won't be able to do that in an anti-magic field. Oh, you can't cast any spells at all, even at this point. Okay. Well, I'm just checking it out then. Am I poke it?

You get up, and as you get closer and closer and closer, what looks like a glass eye starts to feel more and more organic to you. You can see what looks like the bottom ridge of a lid. You can see little tiny hair sprocketing out. You can see the moisture on the surface. of this globular eye, staring out into infinity, almost, a thousand-yard stare, it does feel like this is the source of this magic. I think this is really late.

Like an actual, like, there's some kind of head behind that. Is it looking over the whole room? I don't know. Stabbe it with something. Was it going to set off some kind of alarm on me? Probably, Matt. Does they even like a good idea? Does they even have a hook shot?

I do. Do you actually have a hook shot? Oh. That's what that literally was made for. He's a giant eyeball up high. You gotta use the hook shot to shoot it. It'll close and the door's gonna open up there. That's why you're not the mass of my knuckles.

I can try it. You just stop working and stop going to the beat so much. I'll pull out my hook shot. And I will aim it at the eyeball and I'll shoot it. They gotta say, yeah! When you do it. Oh, okay.

There we go. I'm going to step out of the way of it, but you lean away, and for whatever reason, it's this movement where the pupil finally turns and looks at you, just as the hook shot smashes into the white side of the eyeball. I won't even make you roll. It closes, and you hear a shriek, and you're horrified to find that the wall that you've been supporting yourself on against this ladder starts to collapse backwards. From behind the wall as it pulls apart,

what you see is a monstrosity, a nightmare from your darkest nightmares, your darkest nights. A giant fleshy orb behind the back of this bar, what appears to have multiple stalks of eyes pulling out from the top of its head. It is floating, hovering feet from the ground, and it is starting to emerge into the high-stakes,

room looking around and slathering with one huge mouth, spitting and garbling in an impossible language that you don't understand. I need you all roll for initiative. Holy shit. This is a beholder, yes? Did you just agro a beholder? Holy bud. You know, in my defense, if you see a giant eyeball up in a room like this, you hook shot it. I mean, everybody knows.

I got a nine. I've rolled absolute A. I got a nine as well. 12. Hold on, let me make sure. Oh, no. I get plus five to it.

I don't know why. So, what am I said? Oh, no, I rolled a seven plus five. Oh, that's why. 12. What do you got, Glythe?

18. Orla? 12. Who's going to? First? Is that cool? Did you go first or should I go first? What?

12? Yeah. We all have 12? You all have 12. Oh. All four of us have 12? Yeah. No, I have 18.

Okay, so you're going first. Yeah, I don't care. I'll go last. Yeah. I'll go middle. I just decided I would go first enough. Yeah. Or actually, I can use my help action on somebody.

Um, okay, Glithee, one, two. Oh, first. Yeah, I'll go last. Is it very clear that we're still in an anti-magic field? So the beholder's not going to be able to do anything? A beholder's eye projects an anti-magic field. It's coming from the beholder. Oh, I don't read about beholders.

Because I'm going to play. Deep floor. But Glitzy would know that, having heard all of these things, for sure. Why don't we put on some combat music and I guess create a space for some sort of figure? I don't know. Should we get minis of some kind? Yeah, I don't have my mini generator, so we're going to have to use actual minis for a second. Let me put the music on.

Thanks. This is what you fight a beholder to. Do you have a beholder? Slaying dagger. Or can I get one? Oh, I have a beholder. This is what you face. It will be good for everybody.

Is Loomie still up there? A little good question. Yeah, she is. Is the werewolf still up there? There's Loomy. Give me the werewolf guy. He's the werewolf. Oh, take anything vaguely where he does.

This is perfect. Queenie. So there's you. There's you. Aww. The werewolf what climbs. She is so cute. I need to find something for old.

His toe is big and gray, right? Yeah. That's a good word. He's a good one. I know. So where would we be in relation to... I'd say you guys would all be standing relatively close to each other with the exception of Orla who's like 10 feet away from this thing.

So right there, right there, and then the other three of you, yeah, a good 20, 30 feet back. And it is surprised by its sudden freedom and sort of waking up to the moment and starting to come alive. You're all able to get the jump on it, being as tense and prepared for this heist as you obviously are. And Glitzy, you're up. I'm going to use my coin. And luckily I'd gone down to the magical Mysterium place on 57th. And I had seen Ephrida, one of my really, really good friends.

She's an Afridi. you hadn't been able to tell and she travels with a lot of wares from all over the world and she offered me an iron flask for a combustion job I did for her a while back and so I would like to use my iron flask

on this beholder. You remember as clear as if it happened yesterday because it did you were able to find this one clue that there was this room that potentially had some sort of anti-magic and very likely from a beholder. And you

push the door open and you see your friend Goulda? Afrida. Her name is Afrida? Yeah, Afridacallo. Okay. She's got her... She's a painter on the side. She's got her feet on the counter. She's eating some bugles.

Yeah. Well, she had them on her fingers. But then, like, when I walked in, she started eat them. She was like, oh, it's just glitzy. What do you need? Oh, you know, I know you travel a lot, and I was thinking, do you have anything kind of fun where you could, like, trap something in it for long periods of time? Like something much better than a banishment spell, anything like that. I would say a Frida, but... Are you listening?

Afrida. Are you listening to me? You got anything you can sell me? I'm thinking. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, I think I got something in the past. Do you think I could have it for free considering the fact that I did that combustion job for you when your ex-boyfriend left you?

It's a pretty heavy price. I can give you 95% off. Yeah, I'll take it. Okay, that'll be 5,000 gold teeth. How about 99 to 100% off? You know, I did kill that guy and it was never traced back to you. Make a persuasion check. Uh, 20.

Yeah, absolutely. Um, you were able to give her just 50% of you. 1500-fold pieces. Oh, perfect, dear. She hands you this heavy, it's called an iron flask, but the surface is actually very pewter-like in the way that it feels to the touch and it thrums with magical energy. Oh, I love a good thru- In your hands, it's still quite big, but something that you could hide on your person

should you need it in a pinch. And so you push it into your pack and you start to make your way out. Just as you do, you see a loxodon. suddenly walk in through the front of the, from the front of the door, and you, you recognize this, uh, uh, Loxidon. This is one of the mighty trunks. Oh, hey, you're one of the mighty trunks. It's, uh, Gina. And she is furious because she just found out that her husband has been cheating with a freedom. Like you're really, really busy, so I'm just gonna, excuse me, you the bitch that's been fucking my husband.

And, and see. End scenes. Holy shit. Wrap up that. Four years later. Why is it always funky chunk? I don't know. All right. So on your turn,

you pull out the iron flask and using a way. I need a wisdom saving throw. Oh, wisdom saving throw. Of course. Yeah, I know. Hopefully it's really low. I'm that crazy wisdom? Probably.

Apparently not. Oh, it's actually proficient. So that's going to be a 16. Oh, it's a 17 DC. Oh, my. This is a trap of Beholder? Yeah. I don't know anything about Beholder or Laura,

but this seems really badass. So as an action, I speak the Flask command word, which was, forget about it. Which was all one word. And forget about it. Forget about it. Forget about it. I open it up and is within 60 feet of me.

Is it native to this plane of existence? I would say the holder probably wouldn't be, but I don't know. Not this one. Some maybe, but Funk, you open it. You are watching. Has it been trapped by a flask before? No.

Okay, good, so it's not an advantage. It remains in the flask until released. The flask can only hold. one creature at a time, a creature trapped in the flask doesn't need to breathe, eat or drink, and doesn't age. And so, I could release it, but I'm not going to. You see the stock of eyes looking around maniacally

and starting to come down and looking at you. They seem to be glowing with their own magical energy. It seems they're unaffected by this anti-magic field and they're about to unleash a absolute bombing of rays in all directions, fear, innervation, telekinetics, sleep, petrophication. Just fucking die. And all of a sudden you hear this from looking down,

you see Glitzy holding open the bottle and and it gets pulled in. And then the cork pulls itself back onto the top of the bottle. And you can't even hear if you hold up your ear, the screaming madness that must exist and reside within. Thank you, a freedom. may you rest in peace. That's when my ladder hits the floor.

That all just happened to the time it took me to fall off my ladder. Well, now we have a beholder if we ever need one. Is anyone else craving some bolognese? Is it because I said, forget about it? No, just the way that beholder got stuck in

reminded me of like a meaty spaghetti. You always thinking more like an Alfredo. Oh. You know, and it's sauce is almost as thick as pasta itself. Oh, like at the ivory Italian restaurant.

Yeah, I mean, yeah. Gispatchez. Yeah. It's like not real afraid, though. That is my vengeance for the midnight carnival. The moment he said, Boulder, I immediately went

and I searched my in four. Hell yeah. Beautiful vengeance. Couldn't have gone better. And as soon as the Glitzy, that was the main. You feel your magical abilities rhetorical.

Oh, wow. Oh, God. Yeah, that was all of Frida. May she rest in peace? How heavy is that thing? Oh, it doesn't weigh much. Oh, I have a special flath pocket if you want me to keep an eye on it. You know, boss, I think I can trust you with a lot of things.

A flask with a beholder and it isn't one of them. I'm going to keep it right here. A flask with anything, really? Time for a little ye old fashion. Just a tiniqahoo. The seriousness of the situation, as much adrenaline as that was just for a moment, restored us in your mind and you realize there's a heist going on. You're doing it.

You could be caught and put in prison for many years or perhaps even killed by the mysterious owners of this casino. And the crash of sound as a third point rings out from outside of the casino walls. and you can hear that another game point has been scored. I'm going to add an iron clasks in my inventory. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. And out of curiosity, I'm just very quickly going to look up the actual sane magic item press. I'm going to, where's the- Gosh, I hope those bloodhawks are choking. It's a legendary item.

These biased legendary items are said. I'm just really curious how much the iron flaskers costs. I don't know. It's not going to say. They don't have a price. It's literally legendary that you can't. Okay, so you accidentally just added like 250,000 to 500,000 gold pieces to your price. I would have to charge more because it contains a beholder.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The fact that it contains a beholder, you now have an unstoppable. possible nightmare in your pocket at any time. A be be hained. Yes, change for an hour. It's under my command for an hour. Who's that pocket monster?

Beholder. I got a special slavket pocket. I'm not something in the pocket. You see one of the eyes stocks start coming out. Oh, then that's the wrong one. Why do they look so similar? What's the chance of that? They will

Nothing alike. How many yield passions have you had tonight, Tito? Gregory's terrible accounting. He said three. I think I just have one. I just had one quick one or playing slots with that nice old man that I stole his wedding

for, sucker. So what are we going to do now? Oh, good job, bud. That was Timor. I guess we can go up in me in the escalator now? Oh, I guess we can. I've got to rewind my hook shot.

Oh, yeah. Great job telling me to do that, by the way. Oh, yeah. Shoot the eyeball. It'll open the door. That's what my intel said. Can you imagine if she didn't have that? We don't be dead.

Vaporized instantly. It's really... That's what we plan for it. It was really lucky. I knew that Voldo was going to be there. I know that was going to have you. I know that would trigger... You know its name is Beholder, not Boulder, right?

Beholder today. be gone tomorrow. What? That doesn't mean anything. Behold on. Michael. While I go activate the lift. Can we all just agree to discuss

before we shoot next time? I mean, he's the boss. I'm like, okay, he's the boss and it's just like a magical art book, too. Well, maybe next time we'll have a conversation about it, but I think that we were all very unscathed. And they got beholders with all the fancy

people. I feel like that's a reliability and the risk. That's a pretty impressive aberration they've got under the command. I'm going to be quite honest. I'm surprised that no one else has shot that eye before today. Yeah. Well, maybe it would probably feel the people in God that would probably execute you if you ever

did that. Or they were not prepared to have an iron flat that we had prepared for. Let's go up on the escalator. I'm joking with Jeanne on. Close for this time. You wave and you wave and You hear the magical ding indicating that the lift will come down.

It seems that it was at the top floor. And you wait. And you wait. And you start getting concerned about whether or not you're doing brain damage to Gino. We're not concerned. Still, the lift doesn't sound putting your ear up against the gate. You're not hearing the tick-tick-tick of the apparatus making its way down. Silent.

Oh, you may have just killed Gino. I guess I may have just killed Gino. I like put him on his feet, kind of shaking. You put him on his feet immediately crum. No, I'm still holding him. I'm taking him. Did he even press the button? You take the crystal and you wave it, and you can, you again hear the ding that you heard at the bottom of the previous list, indicating

that the lift was on the way or that the doors would open right away and allow you to step onto the lift and then use the lever in order to go up. You do it again, ding, ding. Still, the lift is not arriving. It should be here at the speed that it was going if it was the same style lift and there's no reason to presume other ones. Can we try prying doors open? You may certainly attempt to do so. I would like to try that. Make a strength check. Add advantage if you have a crowbar. Why didn't bring this ladder? You can put the ladder in and, like, from 10 feet away, just go leverage it.

You know, like, use your giant muscles to open up the door with friends. Oh, hey. Oh, I'm coming too. Thanks, Knuckle. We didn't go anywhere. You watch us, this tiny rabbit folk. With the 16, you were able to pull it apart, reasonably easy, actually. It takes your strength to do it. For Knuckles, it would be like opening a normal door. These are tense. You know the collapsing accordion style gates that are some cool elevators? That's the style of the thing that you open.

Like from Petanac. Perfect. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know when they use those elevators for the car scene. You pull that apart and it stays in place. And then you're actually able to get the tense doors apart. and you can see it's dark on the other side.

It's on the same floor. There's no shaft going down, but there doesn't seem to be a lift behind these doors. All of the Pilates are really paying off. Well done. You should keep it up. You can see that she's been eating from behind. It was the yoga pants.

So just to be clear, I'm not looking into an elevator itself. I'm looking into an empty. You're looking at. the room where the lift would sit if it were in front of you, but it was not. So you think doesn't work? At this point, it's safe to say that you've all deduced that the lift, for whatever reason, cannot come down. Well, in order to continue your heist, because time is indeed passing that you must find a way up. This is why they call me Gino, the butcher of 42nd Street. Also, the Black Bear,

What climbs? This is what I do. You know what they should call you? Yeah. Doctor documentary. I mean document. Doctor document? Yeah.

I never, I never finished grad school. What was your plan, Gino? Well, I was going to take the much safer and reliable form of going up, climbing instead of this crazy thing. Newfangot, new fan, go and traps. an elevator than lamp. And what if the elevator is stuck up there and then it's let loose and it falls on your head and smashes you into paste?

You think they would, well, just no one, no one opened any jars of olives and it won't get unstuck. And then I'll drop down a road and you all can climb up. Gino, I don't want to, I don't want to ruin your plan,

but I'm nine inches tall and I can fly. Why don't we center ahead as a bit of a scout? You know what? I haven't climbed anything with the stair mass there at a gold gym next to the deli. In so long. Oh, in the electrons gym. In the electrons gym. That's fantastic.

I'm writing that down right away. Electrum. Jim, perfect. I signed up at the beginning of the year, and I haven't been since. I went for two days, and I climbed the stairs, the stairs master, just the stairs in the building.

Lizzie, you're flying up? Yeah, the plan was, I think, that I will fly up. So it's dark, and you're able to make it your way through the opening of these lift doors, and looking up, it's quite dark, But you can see that there are these rods on all four sides of the interior of this column leading up. And you can see the bottom, very faintly, it's four stories up, you can see very faintly the bottom of the elevator. And I don't know how else to say it.

It's an elevator. And so you're able to travel directly up and get to the bottom of this lift. It takes you a little bit of maneuvering, but you can climb around into the side and get above it where the hatch is. And you can look down through the hatch if you so choose, or you can fly down. Yeah, I'll look through the hatch and see what's inside. It would be the only way to get inside would be to very narrowly go around the lift and above.

And looking down, you can see three things. You can see the crystal that has been jammed into the mechanism that controls the lever. effectively blocking it from going up and down. That's why the lift is threatened from coming down. Additionally, you can see two pools of blood as what are very obviously security guards lie on the bottom of this lift. No way. I will cast my mage hand

and use it to remove the crystal that's jarring the elevator in an attempt to get it to go down. Okay, okay. And then I'll call down. I'm removing there's a crystal that's jamming the place. there are two pools of blood it looks like some people might have died or a hemorrhoid or something

and so I'm hoping that once I get this crystal out that you can reuse your crystal to try and get the elevator to go down what does the crystal look like? What? We're all pissed You open the hatch, your hand goes down, you pull the crystal free. And sure enough, with the mechanism being released, it moves down much faster than you

anticipate. It doesn't fall at gravity speed, but it's like barely making it down before it finally slends with a loud sound, loud enough perhaps to alert others, and crash. And you can see immediately illuminated within the confines of the lift, the two dead bodies. that Glitsey described. Who the fuck would do this? This is a real sloppy job. It's like Billy May was here.

You know what he's fucking means, right? What does it mean? You mean someone else is trying to steal from the vault before we do? We gotta hurry to fuck up. We could waste time. Who would do something like that? Probably a more experienced crew. I'll say, longing.

Someone's a better boss probably. Impossible. They're not more informed. Better plans. No, we are... Do they have a beholder in a flask? No. What did they did?

They killed Paul and they killed Blah. Who cares? No one will ever care about their death. 45 minutes from now when they confront this crew, they turn around and they've got 14 flasks under each arm. Oh, we missed one. We could have just showed all these flasks and made more than his eyes! Okay.

Okay. And we go up, or I guess we walk and try to wave you. The mechanism has been destroyed. It does not magically ascend. I'm doing it on the ground. He's not covered in dark blood. She's like the ball and large. As you throw me on the ground, you hear a large crack as all of us.

You'll have to fucking touch of oil. Oil and blood dumps? Blood. Fucking blood all over the place. I'm covered in blood and all. How broken is this mechanism? It looks, make a perception check. Real-time.

It's meaner than computers. The computer room. I'm a computer. What in the computer room? The two cards from before seems sus. It seems suss now. 19. 19.

It would take magical effect to repair it, or someone who understands the mechanism to get it back into a magical place that would reinvigorate the lift. Can I check the bodies of the guards? See if they have it?

Make an investigation check. See how they die. Would you say that it's a single break or tear? maybe like 100 mending? I cast mending 100 times What's 100 times 10 minutes No it's just one So 100 minutes

One hour and a half later Is it mending 10 minutes or no it's one minute? I would say that you need to cast it twice To unfix two of the things Why can do that shit? It's a cat trip. It'll take 20 minutes at a ritual. It's one minute casting time.

Yeah. Oh, real? I always thought it was 10. Yeah. Well, D&D Beyond. That's true. I thought that for my pre-D-Biond-D-Bion days. Yeah.

That's why everyone needs D&D Beyond. Not sponsored, but we are sponsored by Charmin Ultra. If you have an itchy tush, Charmin Ultra is the choice for you. I had an itchy tush. No, I don't. I started using Charmin Ultra and now I can shit after I eat a full box of Jesus. Wow.

I'll never forget the smell when the shaman paste came to the thing. I awaken from a nightmare. Are we at the top of the thing? No. I'm going to make the same judgment and say that it will even, it'll take 20 minutes. All right. I will get to spend it in 20 times. Okay, you get to work.

Anyone else can do this faster? I got a six. With a six, you turn the bodies over and you can see that they've clearly been cut with a blade, but you don't learn any more information. And they don't have in their pockets or anything? They have the two halberds that would have been at their side. They still have their weapons on them. They have the clothes that they would have had them some coin loose change in the pockets.

But other than that, they are lacking any crystals or identification. I'll pocket all the...wis change. I'll get up and I'll say, ah, they were murdered. So I found out. How far... Killed. Killed?

How far from the level IMAX? I'm still flying up there to where they are in the elevator. What's that distance? 60 feet. I think I have a hemp and rope. It's about 60 feet. Let me double check my infant. This is why I like icebound where like all of a sudden people just pull like hemp and rope from nowhere in the middle of a D&D session.

You might know how much rope for a nine inch tall creature you did. You just look like the side of Indiana Jones. So much rope. We're even hiding that. Can I look at the guards to see if I recognize any of them? Speaking of Charmin Ultra, have you ever had rope burn? Okay, so you can... With this double role, because this is that fucking D&D work?

It is. I have, but it's only 50 feet of man. Oh. They'd have to get up that extra 10 feet. Oh, I can climb and jump. Oh, fuck! Squelch! I am I am I the blood tail coating the wall. Wait, broke on my own!

Oh, there's a gonna be a victory snack. I mean, you could like suck them off for you to just get on the top. Fine, while you fix the thing, I'm gonna pick up my olive. If they got on top of the elevator, if you guys got on top of the lift. Watch your feet, watch your feet, watch you feet, watch you feet away from the bottom of the row. Let's stop walking, I'm not there. Watch your feet. She's at the top.

He's at the top, doors closed, looking down in the lift shaft. You just got to call it what it is. It's a shaft. And looking at the three of you, you're finishing up your repairs. You hear another crash of sound from outside as the casino walls reverberate with the sound of cheering because another point has been scored. And if you let down a rope from here, they could get on top of the lift and there'd still be like a 10-foot gap to the bottom of dangling rope. What are they going to get onto the top of the elevator? I'll fly down, I'll attach the rope,

throw it into the elevator so they can climb out of the elevator onto the top. If we fix the elevator, it's a moot point. Do we have 20 minutes to fix the elevator? It's been 20 minutes. It just finished. Right? That's what I was assuming that you guys were doing. Oh, well, then let me have this rope back. No, everybody, like, pain singly has climbed the rope,

and the elevator doors just open. I got all of my olives. And the lifting gauges. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Olive, anyone? There's only a little bit of blood on each month. These are soaking blood. They look like Karmata olives.

But they're actually just your normal olive stuff. My mama, my mama Mia, she used to say, Lil Gino never wasted an olive. She always used to say that, may she rest in peace. Oh! There's a little smack as it, like, hits the back of one of the guards' head and rolls off into the corner of the mirror. It reaches the top.

It doesn't crush Glitzy. You zoom through the top of the hatch, and the door is open, and you are confronted with not a vault, but some sort of a breach room, a room before the vaulted room. This room is, and I already have a description here. You can see in this room crossing the threshold on the opposite side, illuminated as it is by ensconces that glow on each on the walls, a heavy iron reinforced door that appears to be closed and locked.

On every wall there are rows and rows and rows upon levers. Tons of levers, all of them facing up. At the end of each lever is a small crystal orb that glows with a blue and white energy. If you stand, it almost creates like a pixelation where you can see like moving clouds almost through and go through. You're getting to the top now. You're getting a sense that you're sort of at the top of the building being affected by this illusion to a certain degree. It is going to bring for his cafe. Stepping in, you see the door to be closed and the levers that I just described.

That's all. Can I look for any evidence that anyone's been here? Clearly those guys were murdered, so like, did they leave anything behind? Was there any of the tracks of blood? And do I recognize either of the guards? As I pick up my hall, I think. These appear to be two new faces to you, as horror-stricken as they are. You didn't encounter them.

Maybe you vaguely recall one from previous times you've been here because you've been to this casino a number of times. But you don't recognize, recognize them from any of your encounters this evening. To your point, make an investigation. Who's an embarrassment of their family in the city now? Jesus. I'm breathing and you're not. Fine. She don't mind your tongue.

Can you help me look for tracks? Do your mastermind, bring you help me out. Okay, no, no, there you go. Look for tracks. 12. Watch your feet, this is broken glass. Chino starts stomping all over the place covering the floor. And all of.

You're all making sound as you're passing over the white marble floor of this room. Are we still wearing our green shoes from the... Not this time. Not this time, unless you had a flashback to prove it. And it would be immediately evident if there had been a trace of blood or something else. But this room is featureless on the floor, aside from what I'm going to expect. Well, that's sure it's a clean job. Let me tell you.

I mean, in and out, unless they killed each other, some. Clean job. There's a bunch of dead bodies and all these all have been broken glass. I am going to cast fairy fire. just to see if there's anything lurking unhidden in the area. It's a 20-foot cube. So I'm just going to cast it kind of I don't know how big the room is, but try and get as much of the room as possible.

And so anything that any creatures in the area would be outlined in light. Invisible or otherwise. When you cast fairy fire, it is enough to encompass the majority of this space. I rolled a natural one on my chaos magic. Oh, that's something. Really? Yes, I did. Oh, no. Oh, no, no, that's wrong.

What did you get? You and all creatures within 30 feet of me gained vulnerability to piercing damage for the next minute. I sure have the whole of darts. That would have been a skin feel squishy all of us. That would have been a problem if you guys. have tried climbing the shaft you know those things that you put in a glass of water and it makes like a tyrannosaurus i feel like that guy right now what like tyrannosaurus is the guy that didn't

no i feel like the tyrannosaurus with like my skin it feels like that and i'm covered in fur other than that your spell illuminates nothing aside from the foreview if any of them had been encompassed by your fairy fire those lights look very familiar. Have you been hanging out with Vinny and that quail? I have no idea what you're talking about when you mentioned Vinny and that quail. Oh, were you talking when we go down and we're

hanging out with the juice heads? Is that what you've been doing? Yeah, and being a meatball with the juice heads? You've been corrupted my good boy, Vinnie? He's one of the hottest squitos on the shore. Either goes to the shore? Oh, yeah, every Friday

night? Guys, that's where he's been. he's been lying to me that he's working on his homework. Chino, Clitsey. He certainly doesn't. Well, to be fair, we're listening to house music.

Okay. He is making the homework. I think we're about to be out heisted. Of course we're not. We've got a beholder in a flash. I pull a lever. Just the closest lever. You grab a lever and you swing it down.

I thought we were going to discuss these things first. 13. 13. 13. that is a success so you only take half I'll let you roll it it's 10D8 lightning damage

imagine you know well you know I have a cousin I have a cousin named Molly and she didn't think her name was very bare enough so she made her new daily you can't survive this

yeah of course I can't and we can't carry you no you can't how do you survive this God she got so barely What's your How much else do you have?

You know, we're going to see I think I can ship off. I've got some D8 for you here if you want. I'll just roll place. That's very helpful of you. One, two. Those D10s? Those are D10s.

You're rolling D10s. Oh, what are they? 10 D8s. Oh, 10 D8. Sorry, I thought it was 8 D10. I'm just being... That's all right. That's all right. 10 D8.

Yeah. Okay, that's even more than a... I thought. Here's two more. I don't know if it shakes out to be four, five, six. Here's two more. Seven, eight. He's got it.

He got it. Oh, I love that guy. There we go. This is the coolest guy ever. Twelve. 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 17, 18, 19, 21, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 27, 28, 29, 3031, 36, 37, 38, 8, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43. Points of damage.

That's not so bad. That's not so bad at all. That's not so bad. Let me just take a look here. You know I had, you know my cousin Paulie? Oh, the DJ, yeah. Yeah, yeah, Paulie. And he's always, he's always trying to turn people in the sheep.

They said it. They said that was the dream. Yeah, DJ Polly B. Oh, Polly Bear. Yeah, yeah. You know him? Yeah, he's always hanging out down at the shore with Vinny. Oh, wow. Is my whole family just down at the shore while I'm slaving away over a hot, greasy pay in? Yeah, they say that you pay for their shore house every year during the summer. Yeah, I mean, those condo fees, they're just absolutely egregious. Uh, yeah, I drop unconscious.

you all turn or perhaps some of you turn or I'll say you I'll say you turn Can we get on his fucking hyacin I grip Flip it You see like an arc of electricity

Like over the arm It like his What hair you do have I don't know if you have any hair No no none hair None hair with left beef But smoking This is

crash a sphere of electric energy in all directions. It's like, there's like the silhouette of a skeleton in the middle of it. Yeah, but it attaches to the horn, obviously. And you just fall onto his back. And without a word, I just, cool. I keel over. He's unconscious, knocked out, K-O-D-D. That was very shocking.

Oh, no, knuckles. You got a knuckles. Here. Naku! What are you gonna do, boss? We can't keep going without our muscle. I've... You can heal him, right?

I've been waiting a long time to do this. Don't use one. Okay. What is the problem you were trying to solve? How is Gino going to anticipate and solve this problem? I... going to think back to when I first met knuckles and I got to know him and I realized that he was a lot smarter than he let on that and through us playing games of checkers or something I

learned that he actually the the knuckles that we know has lost a lot of extreme intellect and power that is locked away deep inside of him. And... Where are you going with this? There is... I've been working for years to perfect the perfect thing

to awaken those latent powers that he has that will solve this problem in whatever way he might. and I will reach into my coat and I will pull out I've been perfecting the recipe perfecting every single piece of the knuckle sandwich

I will feed it to knuckles okay go be free knuckles embrace your death of me I don't have a flashback idea from that But we all imagine a beautiful montage of you working in the deli.

The few hours that you do work. No, I'm saying it's like a whole Pixar short with like really great music. And Pixar moms. I'll be back. That's a really nice picture there. I wouldn't expect you to be so much of an artist. What are those geometric shapes that you're drawing and almost looks like alchemical in nature. I'm not sure what you mean

Why don't you elaborate What I might be drawing? I don't know Maybe you're just sketching something I don't know help me out here This isn't your coin Michael This is your coin

I'm not giving I just need you to be the MacGuffin To save the day In whatever way you choose to And I'm going to activate it by feeding you with sandwich You push the sandwich You push the sandwich into knuckle's mouth.

For a temporary time. For a temporary time. It's the perfect flavor. You've been watching him. You know exactly what will weaken his latent abilities. I brine these pickles for a decade. Regain enough health to get back to half of your max HP. You get a good sandwich.

You get plus four int for the rest of this heist. No, I'm going to eat. Yeah, da da da da da da da da You had pickles in my mouth? Yeah, when I eat a shika pickle? Yeah, what do you think? It tastes very good. I made a sandwich just for you.

It was the perfect ratio. It was my life's work. You fed me a sandwich? Yeah, the knuckles sandwich. Oh, I'll get it. Look at the... And now, Knuckles... Now, where's, you got it?

You got the joke. Now, Knuckles. Look at the levers again with a new perspective. Look with your special in eyes. It's like, it's like I'm awake for the first time in my life. I can think. I can see. And I'm gonna, you'll see like all of these sort of transparent calculations.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the moment in the hangover when you're looking at the, be free. It's surprisingly appropriate for a casino ice. If there is a pattern. pattern or some sort of pattern that I can notice in these levers and some sort of puzzle that I can figure out, I will attempt to do so. The skeleton key is not the particular lever. You suddenly realize it's thinking backwards will help move forward. You grabbed a lever as the crystal stopped glowing white for a moment to transition into that blue.

And so going on intellect and instinct. Oh, when I grab the crystal. You grab the crystal. In this case, this shifting white material that's going around the room, you suspect that you only need to turn a few levers to get the door to unlock, but you can only turn levers that have reached their most radiant white in the center of the cloud. So going on this hunch, you reach up and you pull one of those levers just as the cloud starts to transition. and you're safe, you're fine.

Yes. I figured it out. Yes. Something that it was a lightning on a sandwich, but probably the lightning. It was the knuckle sandwich. There's shocks some intelligence into me. We need to pull a few levers,

but only when there is white as can be in the dead center of the cloud. At the white of the jar of mayonnaise. So just keep an eye, and we can all maybe pull one. As the clown goes by. And all, as it goes by, and it's the whitest, I'm going to pull. As soon as you get to the whitest color, you pull down.

You do it again, you do it again. Four sides, four levers. That's all you need. Clung, clung, clung, clung, clung. And all of a sudden, the door releases. You can hear the mechanism inside, this magical connection that it has with this puzzle. And you know that if you were to walk up to it now, that even with your great mind, your muscles enough to move this heavy door.

It's the perfect union of muscle and mine. I just, I feel like my will's changed. We're all very proud of you. I feel like on the weekends I need to read the Galtaica. Oh, yeah, yeah. The Galticin. And, you know, I don't know. The Galtican's good.

Let's go, let's listen to jazz. Yeah, and I want to listen to jazz and do Sudoku every day. Oh, yeah, that'll show you. You're really smart. It's actually soup dooku. Oh, soup dooku. It's a lot of soup things and go off the kind of soup-themed things. So the door can be open now.

Yes. Okay. I'm going to walk up to the door and open it. You watch his knuckles pulls these doors open and they swing to the side. And across the space is a massive circular door, a vault door. You've seen those classic bank heist vault doors. This is 20 feet tall. It has a huge arm, and you can tell that there's a spoke turning wheel

that'll allow you to, if we're unengaged and unlocked, turn open and be able to swing open to reveal the vault's contents therein. But that's not all that catches your eye. There are four crouched figures sitting in front of this vault door. We can see the back of them. They haven't turned yet. They're facing the door, and one of them in particular has some sort of instrument clicking through, seemingly attempting to find them some combination or listen in to opening it, and they're mumbling and adjusting. You can hear them very hushed whispers.

They're all clad and black, but you can see from the top of their head long white hair. They all have white hair. What do you do? all have white hair kind of like the the light of the the rods that you just moved I was thinking all those fucking characters from Kingdom Hearts that they

invented in Kingdom Hearts too I would say there's also a silaesque quality to the hair Do we understand what the silver hair means? Yeah I would say in a city as diverse as Galtica I won't make you even roll a history check Um, this looks like the hair of a drow, a dark elf. Bunch of drow?

I assume you don't say that out loud. Oh, we're fucking killing them? Just give them. No, no, no, no deaths, right? Isn't that what Miss Lady said? Figurative. Are we going to knock him out? Yeah, let's know, give him, give him the knuckles.

Well, not the knuckle sandwich. Do we want to try to talk to him first? I turned to Oral out of it. Oh. How old do they look? It's hard to tell. They're still facing the vault door and whispering to each other,

seemingly attempting to crack it. I put on my brass knuckles. I'm ready to go. Still feeling energized, if not a little bruised. You're ready to rock. Knuckles, tonight you've shot an eye that turned into a beholder, and you nearly died.

Touching a lever that you didn't know. I don't think that some kind of charisma-based activity Oh, Grace, okay. You know, fair enough. This is, do you have five minutes to have a little finesse, but if not, I'm going in. All right, so I will, I'm going to call out to the people. Okay.

To the Dark Gulf. Ola, good luck. Excuse me. Over there. They turn swiftly, all four of them, their hair whipping around, and you can see their semi-masked faces staring back at you, and they stand pulling their weapons. these very round, bladed chakrams at each of their side. I was going to hold up my hand.

It's sort of a, like, no weapons situation. Hello. You seem to be heisting. The same heist that we're heisting. Breadfully sorry. Could we come to sort of some arrangement? This fault is taken. You can't make your way in here.

You turn around and go on your pretty, way, rabbit folk. Notting into yet. We're working on it. We're very close. There's like four of them. There's four of them, and the one who stands tallest is speaking to you now. Eight people is better than four.

Maybe we could help each other out here. Impossible. We've made a sworn pact to our gun to retrieve the contents therein and make our way. In but mere moments, our teammate friends will win the championship and wish us free of this place. Are you on with the cult? Yeah, as somebody who didn't watch any of your flame's whole episode, would that be meaningful to me. I hinted very, very mildly that the team, the Bloodhawks was disguised to dark elves.

And so had they won, they would have been able to use their wishes instead of the mighty trunks. But that... Oh, fun. So our characters don't know. Your characters wouldn't know. And even in that moment, you hear a fifth point suddenly crash and you realize that this game could end at any moment. Maybe 15 minutes from now. All right.

I would like... There does seem to be like a leader. There does. And at either side, they are walking. You can hear their footstep very softly on the marble floor start to walk towards you. They clearly are thinking of threatening you and trying to get you out and free. And one of them even looks at you knuckles and sort of does an eye-to-eye like stare down, trying to be as intimidating as possible.

I'm going to cast calm emotions on them in their radius, so not us at all. just I'm going to sort of pick the middle of their group of people. And so each humanoid in a 20-foot radius has to make a charisma saving through. Is that a charm? I don't know. I would tell that. I think it would say charm in the spell, common motions, wouldn't it? Oh, it's a...

They have advantage on saving throw against being charmed. I think it is a charm. I think it is so... Oh, actually, yeah, I don't know. I don't see the word... charm anywhere. Oh, choose one of the following two effects. No, no. No. Oh, wait, you can suppress any effect causing a target to be charmed. Oh, that's right. You can do a charm, do a charm.

Alternatively, you can make a target indifferent about creatures. I think you'll say they are charmed and wisdom saving throw? Uh, charisma saving. Oh, yes. 14. Does that save? I don't know how to tell. Oh, it's a, no, it's a What happens? They are indifferent about us. So if they were hostile before, they would no longer be hostile. And it affects all four? They need each animal in a 20 foot radius.

Fail. Succeed. Fail. So one of them is just like, Kai! They're going to fall in fighting. The three of them who are advancing on it, you. Suddenly their eyes sort of flash with your magical energy as the spell takes hold.

And the one doing the cracking seems, just kill them real quick, just kill them. And it continues to try to maneuver the door. But the three, they seemed a little confused. Moments ago, they were ready to set their weapons on you. And now they feel like maybe you're not as much of a thread. So I only have a minute of this. So I'm going to capitalize on just saying like, let's just agree to work together. You can only split the money. Your plan doesn't work out. Maybe ours will and vice versa. The one in the middle turns and whisper of something to the shorter woman at a side. We have brief exchange. Can you help us open this door? Absolutely. Yeah, just turn your back away from us.

Yeah, just do it real quick. Yeah. Yeah. The coat cracker now stands up. What are you guys thinking? What are you doing? We made a promise. We can't let a single gold coin go to these chumps.

It's fine. We'll deal with it later. We need to get in to see the... We don't have much time left. You heard there's five points. The mighty trunks must have scored at least one. I'm going to say to the codecracker person, I'm hearing a love of anger. Let's all just bring it down to not action.

Take some nice deep breaths and control ourselves and let's use our words. Make a persuasion show. Sorry. Oh, 18. 18. She looks frustrated but hurried by the pressure of time that they all clearly are trying to move forward. move against. She acquiesces to the leader and steps aside, well, if you think you can do better than I. Oh, very well done. Yeah, we'll be able to do better. We are a crack team led by the mastermind

Me. Me And seeing how this isn't an emo battle of the band, the local middle school, I think they will take a crack at this. How about that? Okay, you're with the cult, right? Gino, I can only hold this for a few more seconds. Let's hurry. You all with the cult, right? We're not with a cult, no.

We serve Lolf, the great Spider-Queen. Yeah, this is the cult. And they, for the moment, seem to be acquiescing to, under the magic of your spell. You don't know how much more of a minute you have. left but they really stress this enough in less than a minute they will attack us again well you know let's see why don't you get this the thing open here oh you want me to open the safe boss yeah crack the safe with your safe cracking tools we have a way are you

winked do you want me to actually do it or you want me to do something else I'm getting to blow it up isn't that what we normally do yeah I'm gonna go do my my hands thing where I create those laser beams and I have like some giant the bomb for this? For like the vault bomb? I thought I would do it the same way I did all the other ones. Is that going to work for a ball? A minute has passed.

No, no bomb will destroy this door. It's a magical door. The only way to get past it is to guess the magical word. It's the only thing that we didn't have planned in advance. It's very amenable. But we have this device. And if we get the letters of the word in order, we'll be able to speak that word and open it ourselves.

I'm going to, what kind of material is their device made out of? It looks very mechanical. It looks, I would say, what are those like navigational tools? A compass? No, the other one, the one with the up and down. A sextant. Nice. Nice.

Yes. It looks kind of like a sextant, but where you'd be able to move it across. Mature stream. You'd be able to move it across the surface and arrive at the correct letter combination. Mature stream. You can't say sex and arrive in the same sentence. On Twitch. The letters would be coming.

You can't say that. We can't condone learning anything from RDM. That's for serious. Very serious. So you were saying? That you would be able to... What kind of materials it made out of? Metal.

Okay. Like what kind of metal? Adamantine. Like, what's the temperature for melting? I'm obtaining. Uh, 1.4 million Kelvin. So I could melt it then. No.

Like, easily. You'd have to be the inside of the sun. But... So me and the fun. So... Well, you know, I last of the sun earlier. So, my mom fucked the sun once. And that's where I came from.

Who still has a twist of foresight? You and you. And there's a shared pool foresight for anyone to enjoy should there be group agreement. So that is the situation and the seconds are ticking down as this minute passes. I will be just eyeing them and basically if I can't

ready an action where the second they look aggressive I want to just, I want to punch them. In my like, yeah, and in my last seconds I think I'm feeling the spell like lucid. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, and their fingers are tightening around their weapons. I want to ask them to take their masks off the three that are not hostile towards my home.

Make one more persuasion check at advantage. Well, you're a barred, so she's still fine. 14. 14. I'm unparable. It's not like we need to wear these anymore. Once we get inside the vault, we'll just be zapped out by magical wish power.

And, well, excellent. And can I just ask as a little behind those scenes? Like, are dark realms just like people who live in this realm, too? Yeah, yeah. They're from the mortal plane. Okay. Yeah. Give me a good dark elf name.

Lepika. A good dark elf theme would be, I don't know. Aluna moonshmebulah. Aluna. Schmitz Shrudeau. Moonshine, let's call them. We're going to adudify it by saying Aluna. Okay.

I'm going to say Aluno, Dark Shine, McGuire, is That you. And I'm going to flash back to when my oldest daughter, just a month or so ago, brought home her boyfriend to meet the family. And this is that very same dark health. Man, that's quite an age difference. Which Mary was this? That is exactly what Aeman and I said. This is Mary, Mary quite contrary.

Oh, she is quite contrar. The quietest and youngest one. She's a scene kid. She was really into his dark eyeliner. The quietest and youngest dark elf, who hasn't said a word, aside from the three who you've spoken to so far, reveals his mask, excited for a breath of fresh air and the heat being what it is and does recognize you.

I'll take off my maintenance hat, which was apparently completely hiding who I want to him. What impact are you making? I'm hoping for an end I'm hoping for an end so that we've all just humanized each other a little bit and nobody's going to kill each other when this one minute spell is up and say, how could you in this life of crime of all people? He seems conflicted and he turns to the leader

putting his hand on his shoulder. We can't, we can't. I know we killed to get in here, but we can't. We have to let them go or something. I mean, I know they've seen this, but we'll be out of here in seconds. We can just leave him alone. We don't have to kill him.

I'm just going to say, I told my husband, I thought you were a good boy. I am a good boy And there's hesitance And even though you feel the calm emotions Spell pass The drow are looking around at each other Like, well, they're not threatening us

There seems to be an uneasy piece For the foreseeable future All right, let's get through this door Olive, olive? Olive Oh, blood? You blood olives? The love could blow. Yeah.

Yeah. Is that what you guys like? There you go. There's them extra. Yeah. Here. For, for love. Oh, yeah.

For, for, for, for love. Would you like a lullfy pop? I got a couple of them. Just blood soup. It's just a couple chunks. There's like a bunch of bigger fur in each one. I'll walk up to the door with my newfound intelligence. Oh, yeah.

And see if I can make sense of what the fuck they were talking about with hers. Oh, it's, it's quite simple. Um, if you, um, if you, um, speak a command word, then the letters will emerge in the device. The command word shows that there are five slots for letters. Okay. I don't. That's why you had the number.

All right, so give me the fucking device. You take it, and with your newfound inflict, immediately know how the mechanisms work. And Gino, give me a five-letter word. How would it stop with? Any word. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Knife. Knife.

You speak the command word, and then you run the device across the surface of the vault door, and none of the letters illuminate, but you now know that K, N, I, F, and E are not in the word that you... It's terrible. What are you thinking, suggestion, man. You just said any five-letter word. And what I know that one. Okay, you want another one? Frost. Amazing, ma'am.

No, we need a couple more vowels. Okay. Grine. Grine. Grine. Grine, okay. I mean, whatever knuckles is. No.

What you say? Grine. We already know there's no I. Oh, yeah, yeah. So why don't we say groan? Coal. Coal, C-O-A-L-L-S. I say cold.

Oh, Cole. That's nice. L-F. No's, yes, it is, knows. And as somebody who's been playing Wordle every day for at least a year or two with Derek, I just died laughing, realizing it. Beans.

The C turns green in its first position. I'm in one word, I'm called. Just right, right, right, there we go, right there. And then the O turns yellow. Okay. The A is right out, and the L turns yellow, and the S is right out. Okay, so we know that it starts

for C, and there's no one in Ellen. And there's no S, and there's no A. Is there a U? We haven't done you. I get the sense that we may only have six shots of this. Is it a cloud?

I mean, we just dealt with fucking clouds. Oh, yeah, cloud. That's a little on the nose. It is on the nose. And yet. How long have you elves been here? With your great influence. You hear a...

As the vault unhinges. Amazing. Aren't you all guys? You're all like full-bbed out in usual. Wait, wait. Which one is the Mary, Mary, quite contrary, the boyfriend? Oh, well, we'll see how much longer,

but it's that one over there. Which one? What's one of those? He's name was O'Malley or something. O'Malley? You get the sense that they... Missed O'Malley. Come here, come here. I've been on this advantage for many years.

I don't know if I'm more disappointed that you're here or that you're terrible at a time. Yeah, no, I mean, I'm saying you got to, you're not too bright. You're probably like 800 years old or something. I don't know. What are you doing trying to date her daughter? Hey, hey, that's not very clear. That's not, that's not okay. First of all, second of all, you're not going to be able to provide if you couldn't figure out a cloud.

I'm a mastermind. No. Oh, my eye would go, literally. The code cracker. Cloud! Of course! Yeah, no, I think that you just need to go back to, you know, whatever, you can stop dating Mary Mary quite contrary.

She's just, you're not smart enough to provide for her, you know what I mean? Maybe Merry Christmas is better suited. No, keep him away! Merry Christmas is even younger than Mary Mary. No, you gotta keep him away from this guy. They lose it. I don't know how many prospects Merry Christmas will have. You hear uproar from far, far away, some distant sound of the cheering crowd as the sixth point.

And the King's whistle rings high and loud above it, indicating that the end of the game has concluded. Four to two, in some direction. Whoever won is making their way waiting now to go and take their wishes. It's very limited amount of time left. We don't have much time. I think we have a very limited time. Who won? Guys, do you know who won?

Wait, if you stay here, that means that the mighty trunks one, right? Because you lose the friend's loss and you're not getting whisked out? We need to get inside of the vault. We need to get this all packed away so that when we're wished out, we can be free of all of us. We should definitely work on getting all of the gold into some kind of receptacle.

Knuckles, you're a getaway going. Do you have a solution for this? Oh, yeah. What were you guys going to, how are you guys going to transport to go? Not that I don't have my own good idea. We get to keep our secrets, you code cracker. I want to walk into the vault.

Do I get vaporized? You actually have to turn this boat piece to get the door to finally turn. It takes a full minute, even for someone of knuckle's strength. And looking inside, the vault is a, mountain of gold. Oh. Let's, uh...

I was really expecting it to not be gold. It's chocolate coins! What are you going to do with all this chocolate? It's the friends we made along the way. My doctor said they're not full of that many, anti-oxidants. Um, I don't know what to play. We really don't have that much time, guys.

We're going to have to figure out a way to get every single piece of this gold into one individual place so it can all leave. with us. Yeah, all we leave with all eight of us. Yeah, of course. So this is how it could work, right? Since you're going to get teleported out, we just get it all packed into a receptacle, and then

you just tell us where we're going to meet you to split it up. That seems fair. You all look in the vault. Because the faces of the dark gouts have dropped. As as Knuckles pulls us away,

if you're all illuminated by golden light. At the, there's perfectly stacked pallets for easy transport. Stack after stack after stack after stack of gold coins. At each of the walls are magical items of all shapes and sizes on shelves and hooks. Baggs, swords, orbs, statuettes, engraved boxes, artifacts like chalices and rods and scepters, gems of all varieties and sizes, armor sets, helms that glimmer and gleam, mastercrafted weapons of all varieties, scrolls and maps and tomes. Curiously in one corner, a dusty deck of tarot-sized card perches atop a modest pedestal.

Your eyes are filled with purpose and light staring into this room as you all step inside to observe and collect your quarry. This is it. all according to my masterful play. You step up? Yeah, you do that. And as you do, you feel a slashing feeling as the drowth jump on top of you. What was his name? Luno.

Did we decide? Yeah, Luno. Sure. Luno hesitantly is forced to choose between the girl of his dream's mother and his and his cult-like family, but I need you all to roll for initiative. Holy shit.

The second he jumps on Gino on. I got a natural one. I'm going in. Have fun. I got a natural one. Look at close the door. That's perfect. Five.

We're rolling for initiative, right? Thank you, Pollymore. Thank you, Mollymore. Thanks for hanging out. And here, you guys can put yourselves. We'll chat on Discord where you would. Oh. Oh.

Oh, we've got Elfies. So let's say that if we're walking in this way, if we're walking in this way to the vault, they were behind us. Gino was in front here. Let's say he's here. And then one of them jumped on Gino, and then the other, I guess, are right behind us here.

I'm gonna have to tell my daughter that I killed her boyfriend. I'm gonna have to tell my daughter that I killed her boyfriend. 20 to 25? Oh, I got a 22. Okay, 15 to 20? Nope. 10 to 15? 13.

5 to 10? 4. 20? 5. 5. Thank you. The mystery items are fair game. For far, right?

Yeah. You know I was in mind to get assigning the many trunks. You feel the movement of the dark elves start to descend upon you as they have clearly decided as soon as they saw the treasure to undo their previously tense agreement with you all. And I would say, Gino, you take... Oh, no. Well, I guess I should ask if your AC is lower than 17. It is 17 exactly.

Okay, so just hits, and what is the, where are my D-6ers? Mahon Capone asked, do you guys ever play online? The only online we play is we have a quarterly one-shot with patrons at the Dragon Tier and higher. And so that is, I think, the only online games that we play. Yeah, we're mostly an in-person group. Seven points of piercing damage,

points of poison damage. How much? You make a Constitution saving throw. Seven plus what? Sorry. Seven plus six. Oh, no. That's a lot of... That's a lot of damage.

Oh, no, my friend, Phil. I need you. Concerts saving theory, side. Yeah. Nine. You are poison for one hour. Who is the dirty flora olives? Wasn't it?

You feel the olives. all of its juice getting into your new, fresh wound. But that surprise attack is countered by Knuckles Surprise attack, so I'm putting you at the top of the round and then we'll enter actual initiative round. Okay, perfect. So I'll just... Okay, so I have a full round. Knock the perfect out.

You know, a full turn, and then we're gonna start at the top with Gino's turn. I've been fucking waiting to punch something. I'm gonna reach my back pocket, it's untowel my flats, down down. Oh, wow. Oh no, that was the beholder! I'll take my round.

My head explodes. Oh, that was Gripon. I don't know. In turn to the GERC? Oh, no. He starts off small and gets bigger inside of his throat. And I am going to, so hold on, let me just make sure. That was my bonus action to drink my flask.

Oh, yeah. You don't have like a moxie flask or something? Yep, and then at any of my turns, I roll my fisticuffs die and add my proficiency modifier plus my con modifier. Oh, wow, that's a lot of 10 pheb. I need it. 5, 6, 7, 8. That's pretty good.

5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 11. So it's 11, 10,000, pretty good. Nice. I have advantage on the same thing against fear, but I don't need that. And then I am going to... Punch twice. Actually, no, only punch once because we're not...

Oh, yeah. It's a 20-something-day-in-s. Yeah, that's a man. That's right. It smashes in the one. My... Seven points of bludgeoning damage. Okay. The one who had just struck Gino takes seven points of bludgeoning damage.

And it clearly does quite a bit of hurt. You can hear her yell out the pain, but she doesn't go down. That's the conclusion of your turn? Yep. Gino, you're up. Oh. I'm going to turn around and say, are you stabbing in me?

Are you stammer in me? I'm speaking to you should look at me when I'm doing math. All right, too busy stabbing. And I'll say, well, I guess I owe you one and I'll pull out a meat hook. Oh, Jesus Christ. And I'm going to attempt to meat hook him. Disadvantage. AC 16.

Oh! Oh. Disadvantage, I still get an 18. That hits? And because he's next to Knuckles, I get to roll a sneak attack, which would be 1d6. That's right. And this is the one the Knuckles just injured?

Yes. OK. Oh, 2D6, how about that? With my meat hook. Meat hook. Meat hook. I am meathook. We are meathook.

15 points of piercing damage. Uh, she goes down. The meat hook is enough that, uh, you slice it and it disappear, you know, you try to say words and orders and then, um. Oh, hooker. The hooker goes down. You barely know her. She's dead. She's dead.

Is that conclusion of your turn? Orla, you're out. Serving dark elf at Gino's deli. All right. Glitzy or on deck. A little bit of grim cannibal in humor. So one of them is down down. One of them is dead dead.

The one that is adjacent to Knuckles and... This guy. Yeah, yeah. I want to you flip that. Can I flip him? Okay. All right. And...

We designate one as the one that's dating my daughter. Because I'm for sure going... Oh! No, that was the woman. That was the codecracker. Yeah, that was the code cracker. Oh, I thought the one that attacked Gino was the one that... No, he was in the back.

I'm being very nervous. I'm just deciding that this one goes. Yes, yes, yes. So I'm going to go for him. Um, I think I'm gonna cast mine sliver. That's a good one. Yeah. I drive a disorienting spike of psychic energy

in the mind of one creature you can see within range. They must succeed on an intelligence saving crew. Oh wait, our elves like really smart. Can I know that? No. Nine? That's less than 15. That's correct.

You're gonna fail. She once saw a bird choke on a worm, isn't that great? What does it look like when you cast mine slipper? Well, I'm a mother and that's my whole thing, so it's, you're not good enough for my daughter! Oh, no, my latent insecurities! My crippling self-death! Exactly.

1d6 psychic damage and subtract 1D4 from the next saving throw it makes before the end of my next turn. I'll remember that, do that. So I do the six damage, do I roll it a six? These pink dice suck, by the way. These 300-year-old... Are they Chesix? Four.

Yeah. They look quite good. They're... But they're the same thing. Okay. And this is going to be Luno. I just thought cute pink dice. I don't think Chesics will ever sponsor us.

And he's disadvantaged on something. You guys suck and he should feel bad. Sending purpose, right? He's disadvantaged after he gets him of... He gets a subtracted of one-de-four moving forward. A little bane. From the next saving throw. Glitzy.

I'm going to actually I'll just move I'm going to move my character here and I'm going to cast Agnesar's scorcher Oh oh Well and I'm not

Scorcher I'm becoming corrupted I am I don't even know I'm only going to hit those two But it's 30 feet in front of me These guys Oh okay Yeah Real gun style

Yeah I'm just going to be like I'm just going to move over I just really wanted to light something on fire I'm just gonna cast it and they have to make a dexterity saving throw they both fail okay great I'm actually blown away by that but they both roll sixes you know what I am going to re-roll some of these dice because I am a sorcerer and I can do that oh that's right you are a sorcerer what uses meta-magic I am a sorcerer what uses meta-magic So I am going to cast, use empowered spell.

And I'm going to, perfect, that's better. And that's even better. So 18 points of damages is what they're gonna take. To both of them? To each of them, yeah. Holy man, good name. All right, that was Luno and the other one. You're not good enough for her daughter.

Both of them are killed instantly. It's like that moment in the dream where Sarah Connor gets up the nuclear explosion. And she just turns into ash and skeleton. Jesus. Yeah. So much fucking. This is like the old day, Zola. It was a level two spell and I got to rerall my low damages.

Did you do chaos? Huh? Oh, I did not. Are they actually this? A three. Yeah. I will breathe in. I love the smell of faith.

Palm in the morning. Oh my God. That's so good! Oh my God! Fay Palm! Hey Palm for fuck, thank. Oh, Mike, that's brilliant. That's showing up in our coming campaign, right?

Oh, 100%. Obviously. It ain't me starts playing. Well, shit. That sucks. Yeah, so I rolled a three, so I did trigger my stuff, but it doesn't really affect this. Okay. And of your turn, knuckles, you're up. This is the only guy that's alive, right?

Yeah. It's the leader. It's the leader, let's say. And the other ones are all dead. Yeah. I'll get you to do it. Yeah, I'm just going to try to snap his neck. Go for it. I'm immune to being intoxicated by alcohol for 18 days. You're immune to alcohol for 16?

Yeah. How many days? 18. 18 days. 18 days. You're going to notice that nothing in your life changes. Why is this milk hit different? I missed my first attack.

I want a bonus action with a second attack. All right. There we go. That hits. Oh, hey, look out. Punching me a lot. Pervit, prove it alert. I help you.

11 points of damage. For the first attack, I helped you. What is what you've been snapping? Or no, I forgot to help them. You just love snap in a couple of next. happened a couple nights. Well, I'll just, I mean, if everyone else is dead, yeah.

There's no reason to leave one guy alive. So Knuckles is going to try to kill him. Yeah, for sure. You do that, but he's not dead. So you attempt to kill him. You punch and do it. And now it's top of the round. Do you know you're right?

No, no, so hold it. He's going to be advanced on my first attack. That missed. They made. That hits. OK. OK. OK.

So if you can do four points of damage. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I kill him. OK. OK, now you kill him. And you really. I realize that these ral

How stealthy and excellent they were to get to this point without too much issue We were not prepared For the likes of rag tag power Well, I mean They didn't diversify their crew They didn't have a mastermind, a safe cracker

They didn't have any muscle, they didn't have any explosives expert They didn't have a distracting mom Actually, fun fact, There's no mom object distractingmoms.com is on my AOL browser. You know just how owls bring the documents? And I open it up and like, man, Al Yowza, you're a pervert, Mr. Al. Lying before you are, four dead drow and just at the entrance.

You can walk in at any moment. What the fuck were you thinking, killing these guys? What are you talking about? We had to frame it on. on somebody. I mean, we were told not to kill anybody. No, no, actually that wasn't part of the plane. We can kill.

Oh, and now you tell us. That was from the museum we want to. Yeah, yeah, not the museum. Glad I killed a fucking guy. What inconsistent rules. I would have said, hey, let's not kill any employees of the casino. They're just doing their jobs.

But a bunch of heists that were not part of the plan, I feel like we can murder them even. That really seems like something we should have arranged before we got here. And if we can somehow figure out a way to make it seem like they jied doing the heist, then I think it all works out. Well, they'd be double-crossed by the other team and then all the cops show up at the end of the sports movie and the rest of them.

Yeah, but there won't be any gold inside of this, uh... Do you have any sort of lightningy explosives that we could make them look like they died from the big lever wall? No, but I kind of thought if we could find a way to get all of this gold out of here, then as we're leaving, I could just open up the bottle and leave the beholder in here with them and well, that'll be somebody else's problem. Oh. I support this.

Then it will look like the beholder was behind it the entire time. Can the abholder be like, hey guys, it wasn't me? I'm the fuck. They did the whole thing with these people. Yeah, but why are they going to believe them when the beholder stuck in there and their dead bodies? Make a perception check, everyone. Oh, look at all this treasure.

Look at all this very nice treasure. Perception? Oh, God. Damn these. Oh, got to give it up. Got to give it up. And a natural one. No, yeah?

Can I have these? 12. Thank you. I love you. I didn't hear anybody's values because it's Lauren's dice. I failed. Two natural ones. Twelve.

12. 22. 22. Oh, that's all. MVP. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'd say anyone who got higher than 10. Here's a.

Bing. from two rooms over. The sound of the lift starting to re-go go back down the trap. My huge rapid ears could totally have heard that if I hadn't rolled so badly. You're staring

and trying to decide what you've what to say about Luna. To Mary Shelley. Yeah. Oh man. Well, at least Mary Mary quite contrary is better off. Okay, so here's another idea. For an hour, where the beholder's going to be my best.

friend. So what we could do is we tell that beholder to just stay out in the other room and to let everyone know that there were eight elves that came into, he chased them down because he caught him in the other room. He chased him down to here, but they locked themselves inside of the safe and they're in there doing whatever with the money. And then when they come, when they finally break into the vault, there will be four dead elves and all the money gone, so it would look like the others got away. I don't pay this plan. The only problem.

I have no idea how we're going to get all the gold out of here. Oh, man, that was the hardest part. What's the carrying weight of a beholder? What's the spellless on a beholder? What's the one? Spelless on a beholder. Oh, it's a law. Oh, no, no spells.

because they use psionics and those aren't spells, sorry. They're not spell castery. No, they have race. They have death rays. They have raised. Are any of you a warlock or a wizard? I am a sorceress. I'm a wizard.

Do you get any extra spells being your kind of sorcerer? What do you mean? Do you get like an extra and expanded spell list? Not really, no. Okay, well, this plan's not going to work. I mean, I can cast fairy fire. because I'm a fairy. Should we tell you, Behold a friend to behold the line?

Well, he'll be my friend for an hour, so I don't think that joke would offend him. Love isn't always on time. Oh, no, the elevator. You're horrified, not just to hear the sound of the lift starting to go up, but also the door. What kind of beholder was this? This is a classic beholder.

This is not a death tyrant or one of the smaller varieties or... 5E, beholdus, dad, dog. This is just bread and butter MM. M.M. Yoink. The door to the vault is also

starting to close itself. It seems that it only stays open for maybe a minute or two minutes at a time. For however long you were fighting the drought, this time limit seems to have expired

and you can see that turning spoke wheels are to move itself and the entire door starting to swing shut. If you don't go inside the vault, there's a very good chance this heights will be lost. We're in, we're already in.

Oh, you're inside? Yeah, we're inside. You're inside. Yeah. The bonies of the drow are just at the door, at the entrance of the vault. They're not in the vault with you. Do you bring them in with you? What are you doing? Yes. Yeah, I would try to, like, chuck them in.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they need to be in the vault to get the treasure out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And bull's shit, we'll slam the door. Oh, and I'll try to clean up the olive juice. Yeah, the hallway should look like nobody's there. But we don't have much time. It'll just smear everywhere. I would say make a deception check to see how well you do it.

Oh, 21. Can I help with that? Can I, like, do it as well? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Typically, that means he just gets to do it at advantage, but let's do it. Well, I roll the 17. You want to take that as your advantage?

Oh, yeah. I'll take that. Yeah, that's a 23. 23. You all pulls yourselves into the vault. You do a pretty good job. At a certain point somebody is going to suspect something looking

at the blood on the floor, but you're surprised how well you work together. Perhaps it's your momly cleaning energy and your deli counter wiping down energy. Oh, yeah. I've been free for sure. My right arm is much bigger than my last dorm. And as you

as you wait for the door to close, you all are thinking, how are we going to get this treasure out of here? How are we going to get out of this situation? Well, there's no way to teleport. There's no wish coming, perhaps. What is going to be the solution? And when the door closes,

it's not darkness that surrounds you. You realize that you, aren't in a dark place at all. In fact, the walls seem to have completely evaporated. You are now staring out at a sky, a blue, beautiful sky in all directions. You seem to be at the top of a mountain, at the top of some citadel, looking down, surrounded still by this same treasure. But as soon as the door closed, you have jumped from wherever it was in the top of this building to some other plane of existence, staring out down the mountain, down the citadel. all the way around, you seem to be in a completely new place.

All four of you, and the bodies of these drowns surrounded by mountains of treasure, and it's not the clicking of the elevator that you hear anymore, but the loud thump, thump, thump of some massive creature walking, sounding like some huge giant. and as panic overtakes you that is where we will end tonight's session Oh shit

So we ran out No We're not out So how does it How don't have to pay the base In our overtime You didn't spend it You lose it

So we keep it for the next heist For the current heist Read the manual We have a handbook I don't know I skipped it You know I thought on a document and then you get to keep it, so you'll have two next time.

Oh, you should. Oh, do they roll over? Yeah. They're like roll over minutes? Yeah, it's roll over PTO. Roll over a minute. I haven't dealt with roll over minutes in years. Thank you so much for listening to the Legends of Aventra's podcast.
