What a do, welcome to Ladies of Ventress. My name is Cremille Lucreux, and you are listening to Once Upon a Witchlight. Here's what happened last time. I was trying to escape, and then the snake got me. He has lots of strange dreams. They're mostly about the children. The first portrait she holds you up to is a portrait of a truly ancient and terrifying-looking hag. Oh, that's the youngest sister.

That's the young sister that it was talking about. Isn't that Sabina? Oh my god. Wow! What if this, this portrait's the fucking reason why she's all like trapped or in danger or whatever. Oh my gosh. As soon as she lifted up to the portrait of the IP, I go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I think we gotta take the Bavolum one, isn't that what we could edit it? That's what she asked for. But as you run your finger along the the frog on the spine, it croaks out the title of the first book. All things... Your sister, there's no use asking Endling if she has the horn.

She doesn't tell us anything. But if we don't find it soon, I fear what the Jabber Walk will do after it gets tired of prowling the forest and turns its fiery games elsewhere. Must I remind you that we need a unicorn horn to free creatures from the cauldron's time-freezing magic? It's not enough to know their true names, you know. Of course, my greater concern is that someone else finds the horn and uses it for exactly that purpose. What do you think Zabina will do to us with treacherous three

if she's no longer bound by her cauldron's magic? Your beloved sister, Lorna. You are all toys. That hasn't changed. As you make your way through loom lurch in this new size, you realize how massive this place is. And though you do have the ability to move more quickly with the shape changing that Gideon is able to undergo, this place is still incredibly large. The portrait room that you find yourself in at first is where you knew that you needed to be.

to be. It's what you came to Lume Lurch for, is the bargain that you made with Bavlornah to bring back at least one of the portraits in this hall. Their magic you were unaware of and you were able to see your families reflected back at you in them, or strangers depending on who you are. Though there was a price for this, a price of blood. Leaving this room, all with the guidance of the small child, that you met, Mishka. You are able to traverse this place fairly quickly, and you make your way through kitchen and library, and eventually up into Bavlornas or into Granny Nightshade's room proper. And it is here that you see a moldy dilapidated dollhouse sitting on a side table. Her minion, the sow pig that you all know, the one that had taken Hootzey from the Witchlight

carnival is rests asleep on the bed next to it. That's right. On the window sill is a glass case filled with moths fluttering about. But it is not here that you stop. Mishka has a place for you to, a place for you to hide and be able to plan your next course of action. And it is into a small room off of the bedroom that she takes you. What is very clearly an aviary, where you see these large stuffed birds, all of them on a perch next to a window, each one of them labeled to a different sister. A desk in the corner with three open letters just recently delivered.

The first, Sister, I don't have Elydon's horn. If I did, I would use it to free, bloody, but he can send it after the Jabberwalk that lairs in the palace and hunts in your forest. No matter what, Andelin says, that burbling beast of a dragon is a threat to our coven and our three realms. How Zibylna managed to befriend it, I'll never know. Maybe we should ask her. Much love, Lorna. Next to it, another and a more beautiful and ever, elegant straw, freshly, scented with a soft floral perfume.

Lovely scab! The last time I saw the unicorn horn, it was in your possession. Pity you lost it, but fret not. I've gazed into the ory of tragedies, and it is revealed to me that Alydon's horn will be found. If worse, comes to worse, recall that Alydon's mate still dwells in your forest. You could kill Lomorna and take her horn, assuming, of course, are not a little. too busy making toys. Your darling sister, end. And lastly, one that looks even more recent. Dear sister, there's no use asking Endeline as she has the horn. She doesn't tell us anything.

But if we don't find it soon, I fear what the Jabber Walk will do after it gets tired of prowling the forest and turns its fiery gaze elsewhere. God's bodkins, that thing gives me nightmares. Must I remind you that we need a unicorn's horn to free creatures from the cauldron's time-freezing magic? It's not enough to know their true names, you know. Of course, my greater concern is that someone else finds the horn and uses it for exactly that purpose. What do you think Zibilna will do to us, sweet treacherous three, if she's no longer bound by her cauldron's magic? Your beloved sister, Lorna. with that final line that you find yourselves now, all in your toy forms, perched on top

of this rotting desk, staring down at these letters. The stuffed bird-like creatures completely silent and frozen in place. Mishka looks around at all of you, but says no words. She is not attempt to read over your shoulder. She eventually steps back and leans up against the wall and waits for you to finish or to speak. The silence in here is almost unnerving. So for the first letter, because if there's three sisters, there's three letters. So the first one was from Lorna, Bavlornna. The second one was from Endelen, and the third one was also from Bavlorna.

Gotcha. I believe Frost is the one reading those. Did the Jabber Walk have Laser Beam? Yes. Shit. The Jabberwark laser beam twosy. I said it fried the shit out of it. I thought it did like fire breath too.

I'm pretty sure it was laser beam eyes. It was laser beam eyes. Yeah, I think it was... Or firebice. I think it had both. Definitely had a cone attack and beam attack. Oh shit. I got speared by a tree.

We're so fucked, yeah. I got you got... You got kind of... I got donuts. Donut-dutted. I heard that. I got don't know. Don't say don't-dutted.

Are we all donuts, really? We are now. No, there's one solid hole that starts here. Please stop, Derek. And that's all that the Lenners say. Gosh, I think we should kill that South Peak. Do you think we'd manage it? Dorma isn't sure.

We're smaller than normal. You see what we did that snake? We could manage killing that South Pig. That was pretty crazy. I mean, we could get the jump on it right now. The Southpig was powerful enough to capture Hootsie. This is no ordinary snake we're dealing with. This is a creature of magic, a minion of its Granny Nightshade.

Well, she's asleep. Yes? I was just gonna say, what if I just climb into her mouth and turn into a train. Whoa! That's actually a phenomenally clever idea. Wait, hold on, hold on. What if instead of her head exploding it crushes it. it crushes you and you get off fucked up.

Impossible. She couldn't possibly crush my train for her. It's too powerful. Yeah, you can drive. Doorbeck is going to resist that. You can draw all away from one end of the donut to the other. That's right. That's right.

Yeah, that's much better than what doorback is going to say. Gideon and I support this idea 100%. I think that you should follow your heart. Well, let's go create some new train tracks. Wait, hold on. How many more times can you do that? I don't know. I think it said five times a day.

I've done it twice. You can do it five times between seeing a toy maker and having the toy maker reset you. I mean, five times before we see the toy maker. And then they got to spin my crank on the back. You know what I mean? Reset the train of vacation process.

Yeah. Hi. Misha or Mishka? Mishka. Mishka. Are you there? Yes, I'm just leaning against the wall. Oh, that's, oh, that's pretty cool.

I forgot I was gonna say. I thought I was gonna say. Oh, oh, is the sour pig also a child? So if we murdered her, we'd be murdering a child? I'm just kind of curious why you're so wondering, like, why you're so worried about the little sleeping thing out there when like. Because she's a little, fuck it. She's still.

Don't you have to go talk to Granny Nightshade and like, you can have to get into the dollhouse and you're going to have to figure out what you're going to do about all of your stuff and like how you're going to stop being toys and you're like worried about this little pig thing on the bed. It's a revenge thing. You wouldn't understand. No, like, I definitely understand revenge because people have been mean to me a lot. You know, I literally ask you to kind of like beat up those two kids.

If you could turn into a train inside one of their mouths, wouldn't you? What a weird fucking thing to say? Yes. I mean, when you put it like that, yes, who wouldn't really, though? But like, right now, I have like bigger fish to fry. So like I'm gonna do that first and then I'll turn into a train in their mouth.

Oh, no. Well, like I want metaphorical. Fine, we don't have to have Gideon glider into her mouth. I haven't turned into a train. I mean, you got a good point. Well, dang. I mean, if things go pear shape, we're fucked.

We have a, we can get directly into Granny And like, I'm just saying, like, if you're, I'm going to get you into the dollhouse, you know. But, like, if I put you into the dollhouse and the first thing she finds out about you is you killed her little sow pig, then you immediately start on the bed foot. Like, if you want to, okay, like, I'm not going to stop you, like train in her mouth or whatever. But, like... Well, to be fair, we don't have to have a train. We could break Frosty in half, and because he's glass, we can just slit her throat while she's leaving. See?

Whatever we do, we have to make it look like an accident. Yeah. She accidentally rolled over on some glass while she was sleeping. No, that's none. Oh, but he can break off a little piece of frost and then stick it in some food. Oh, yeah. That'll take way too long to kill me. Oh, yeah.

That'll make weeks. So there doesn't really work on tour bank. So there's no way to say whether or not we work on the pig. Do I need to remind y'all what the fucking plan is? We're going to parlay. and we're going to, you know, try to negotiate with the information we have on will. I agree, but perhaps we just start a small fire

and then we go. Frosty, you gosh, you're full of so many good ideas. Then it's nobody's fault. Whatever happens happens. Yeah, come me, you want to use cigarettes and put it out. Like, out of them. Oh, it was just like, costly. Smoking and a cigarette.

Yeah. Uh-huh. Every episode would become more murder-hop. Speak for yourself. We got shit to do. Let's just go to the dollhouse. I brought you in here so that you could come up with the...

Do you not plan? Do you just, like, do things and hope it works? I've come to accept the fact that we do not plan. Everything working out okay. I mean, we only have an endless list of debts and commitments. Because, like, I hate to bring it. I hate to say this, but, like,

you have a promise. to me now too. I helped you to get up here, so you're going to help me escape, and you're also going to beat the shit out of those two men kids. So I need you to be successful for that to happen, or I'm trapped here forever. We will help you escape. Just close your eyes and open your mouth. You're done, bro. What's gotten in to you? This is someone like you. Stare at the sunset. Meish can stare at the sunset and close your eyes.

We're like fucking end of the department. Jesus Christ. No, we will help you escape. Okay, so. And not metaphorically. From white. So I kind of need you to make a plan that will work, because I can't go with you into the dollhouse,

but I'm not small enough. I can open the door, well, I can say the password, and I can open the door, and I can lift each of you up and put you in. But at that point, you are on your own. Well, it sounds like we have sort of a plan, and if we can get back to our normal sounds, and you just kind of hide nearby, the dollhouse, we'll take you with us on the way out. But I won't be... What if this owl pig wakes up?

Killer. I will have... What? You saw me with this snake! Can we stop entertaining this idea that we're gonna kill the fucking pig? She kidnapped Hootsie and tortured her in a prisoner for five years! Yeah! fucks you murdered like fire those guys.

You're like to say, where do we draw the line? Yeah. Where do we draw the line? Well, I mean, here's the point. I feel like when there's just one pig, there's a higher likelihood that that pig has like its own sentience. You know what I mean? Those little fucks. Those little fuck's bent for their lights.

Yeah. And we closed the potlid and shut up. Yeah, with their dead friends and thought. On a nightmare. They started eating the corner. What is you're gonna start, do you know? What are we done? You know what I mean?

All right, kill the pig. We're not gonna kill the pig now. Not yet, no, I'm gonna kill the first. You could always like, I try to make a deal where like in the end you get to kill the pig. No, we don't have to kill the pig. Yeah. But no, so the first thing we need to plan is where I'm going,

where you're going to meet me afterwards? Because once you go inside, it's you and grandkids. It's you and Granny Nightshade. And so I need to make it seem like I am doing what I'm supposed to do. So do I go shackle myself back to the kitchen? And just trust that you will save me and I won't be shackled there forever and then die because they won't have any food or drink or anything. No, yeah.

It won't happen. We'll come back for you. You all seem like really reliable. Yeah, we're very reliable. We always finish our cycle. It's been a hundred percent success. Yeah, very promptly and we'll follow up. Los Hot Quest.

Here's the thing, let me level with you. If we don't do it this session, it's a good chance. We're gonna forget in like five months. So let's just get it done now. We better get on it. Oh, yeah. Let me... No, we won't forget, Mr. Grammy.

It'll be all right. Just tell us where you're either gonna hide or be and we'll find you. Okay, so I'm going to get you in the D-Doll House. And then I'm going to leave. Okay. I'm going to sneak past the pig. I'm going to go downstairs.

I'm probably going to look at the window a little bit and maybe read a child's book. That's fine. Then I'm going to sneak back into the kitchen and try not to wake the little green dragon. Then I'm going to take the manacles that are by the cutting board, and I'm going to shackle myself to them. I will cry a little bit because I just got out, and it's really sad that I'm back there of my own free will. And then I'm sorry to give that up. Yeah. And then I will wait, like, probably not too long,

like an hour probably. And then you will come free me from it. Yeah, it might be more than an hour, but we'll come back. If we get back to the kitchen and you're not there for any reason, what would be your secondary place? Like, for example, if you got to the kitchen and the Green Dragon was awake, you'd have to find some alternative rendezvous point. If Granny Nightshed wakes up and I'm not shackled to the table in the kitchen,

I better not be in Lume Lurch like at all, or I'll be in a lot of trouble. So if I have to jump at the window and run, I will head to the tree where Will is. Yes, oh no, no, no. With all the other kids. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, don't get, don't go ball Will.

Will you can grab the marketplace? How about this? But the goblin will tell, I mean, okay, so there's the goblin dying. I don't know if he met him. It's really sad, but he'll be dead. He'll be dead less than dirty days. He likes me a lot. He gives me candy sometimes, but he will tell Granny Knight Shade if I am out of the Loomelage proper. Can he be paid off? Can he what? Can he be paid off? If there's a way to get the little bug thing out of

his head, the little worm, then yeah, for sure. We're working on that, but you know, Why don't we just enter the Will's place? It's not even there. The thing is especially about it is it's a curse, and most people can't break curses. Wait, when you say the tree that wheels in, you mean like the fucking Treyant guy? Mm-hmm.

You know how to get there? Well, it moves around to know, but I have a rough general idea, because, you know, kids have escaped to go there and then they've been caught by the toy shoulders and come back. And sometimes the ones that have gone for like a long time, they got to hunt and stuff,

and then the toy soldiers find them, bring them back, and they think they can bargain with information to get out of their servitude with Granny and I-Night, but they can't. So she gets the information and then, you know, they're still there. I mean, Hootsie's there anyway, and we know we'll isn't. It will be safe. That would be very convenient.

How about this? How about this? All right. And Juniper. Chain yourself up in the kitchen. If we don't see you there, we're gonna assume that you went to the tree. And if we don't see you in the tree, we'll presume that you're dead. Okay. Is that for him? I mean, I could still be getting there. I am only like three feet tall, so I've got little legs. And like, you'll be dead.

You're probably. What happens? No, but like what happens if I'm still walking through the forest and I've gotten there yet? We'll wait. But I'm waiting for you in shackles. We'll wait. All right.

You're right. We'll wait. Okay. Are the knives in the kitchen real sharp? No, most of them are dull. Do you want me to cut myself and make blood oath? I don't want that, but I think your only option will be to cut your leg off. It's not going to be easy if you have a done.

Why? How am I going to cut my leg off if my hands are shackled to the table? They're like shackled at your side or? No, to the different legs? Have you seen that major image starring that guy, like Dread Pirate Roberts guy? You know what I'm talking about? He gets to cut his own leg off. Oh, yeah.

Are there any bone soles in the kitchen? Yeah. Use that instead of a knife. On my leg, though? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're gonna wanna tie it off first. Yeah, otherwise you'll bleed out. If you can.

Do you know how to tie a tourniquet? No, I never have done it. Oh, you're definitely gonna die. Yeah. I'll go on this one. Can I ask you a quick question though? Like, but how am I supposed to run if my leg is gone?

And also, I'll just still be chained to the table, so I'll just be bleeding out at the table though. Well, after you cut off the leg, then you can cut off both of your arm. And there's only girl. Make shift. Then you can just off. Makes shift. Big leg.

It'll be fine. Okay. I think that maybe I don't want to do that, so I probably won't. Let's stick to the plan. Okay. We have a good plan. We have a very good plan. All right.

So then, what is your plan for once you get into the dollhouse? We'll speak with Granny Nightshade, and we will convince. her to transform us back into our normal selves. And they will kill. Well, we'll kill Will. Oh, we'll kill Will. We have barrenches. Why are going to kill Will?

That's right. We are gonna keep her alive because sometimes there are fate's worse than death. You'll learn that when you get older. That's true. Okay. Well, I mean, you are all adults, so I guess I should trust what you say

because what do I know? I'm just a dumb kid. Yeah, we know better than a dumb old kid like you. So what we'll say is a... Are you mean because you're short like me? Well... Yeah, yeah. That's exactly right.

All I'm going to say is I'm a tough guy. It's not everything. You know, it's not everything. I can be your tough guy. I can hit the gym. I can hit the gym. It's a lot, though, Grico. Even Dorebeck has a wife.

I mean, there are some girls who are like off-shadow who are like, you know, on my online dating profile, I'm like a foot taller than I, you know. Yes, but when you meet them in real life, they're going to be able to see that you're a liar and short. Well, for him to meet him in real life, they kind of swat for her. Oh, wow.

Jeez. You see a lot of fuck guys. I'm going to do find that candy. I want to go find that candy that makes me 6'4. Fuck you guys. Just every morning like Al are queer.

Let's all remember this is the season finale. We should probably fucking go. We're fine. Here we go. In the dollhouse. You leave Mr. I don't need a boost.

I don't need a boost. I don't need a boost. Do we need to discuss what we're going to talk to, Granny and Nightshade about any further? Or, Cremie, do you feel lean on the handle on things? Well, I think we'll figure it out. I mean, we don't have the one. I mean, we can't get to the Wonna poster that we have.

And we can't get to the knife that we have. But if she changes us back, we can prove it. That's true. That's even more incentive for her to transform. How do we prove the only thing? Do you at least know what the poster said? If you can tell her what it said, that might be enough. What did it say, Frost?

I remembered it exactly. You don't help me out. Roll it in intelligence, Jack, Rob. Ah, yes. Oh, God. The poster. Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday. It probably was yesterday. It was for my idea.

But I'm not saying I've lost a lot of fluids and electrolytes cheating myself and then unicorn pawn. It was a... Let's see how this is going. Then the Carlfish River. Not history, just straight intelligence? In the woods. You could do history.

Okay. I'm not proficient in it. Oh. 20. That's not enough. Mm. No, you remember what it says exactly, and you remember that you had two.

Yes, we had two of the posters. One that was a bench of the tree, and the other one that we got also on our journey. Oh, yeah. It was like to post. Oh, yeah. It's like I'm there. You tell it exactly how it's

Frosty. Yeah, you were. You would have said word for word. Yeah, God. You would have said word for word. Lime. Alive or dead? And the swords will not break the skin.

Something on the idea. And can resurrect anybody? Yeah. Wow. I thought you wrote this down, Trous. I didn't. I didn't. No, that was the whole fucking, we talked about this.

Yeah, we talked about this. Yeah, we did. Like well before the show. No, like, like, like, no. I wrote down which of the two boasters I did. Not the worst. Oh, geez. Well, this is awkward.

The first one said, Bring this wisp of a thief to me alive and unharmed, and I'll ensure that no sword can ever break your skin. Oh, that's right, Frosty. Good job. No sword. Deliver this rascal alive and unharmed. As payment, I offer you the power to bring the dead back to life.

I'm sure that's, there's no monkey pause. I thought I was just supposed to write down which poster numbers I had. You were. That's why I... Posture number four and poster number five. That's been relevant to us in universe, trusting. It's his capricorn. You can't booster number four all along.

Your fatal weakness, poster number four. This is like a JRP. You have to get the full set. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And you can transform the ultimate limit break by turning them all into the humble shopkeeper in level one. Pretty bad ass.

Okay, so we're going to go into a dollhouse now because this is the season finale and all that stuff. So you go changing. we will handle all the rest and we will be back. Don't worry. And you're just going to go in by yourselves? Like as yourselves, you don't want to get like dressed up or anything? Oh, is it costumes for toys? Well, inside of the dollhouse, there's, well, because, so here's the thing.

Granny Night She hates doll houses where she sleeps. Because when she wakes up in the morning, whatever she sees does like something negative or something to her. Oh, I remember what it is, which is fun. which is funny because she forgets. She forgets the first thing she sees when she wakes up in the morning and she can't see it for the rest of the day. So she transforms things she hates

into these little moths and she puts them right by the window sill in a glass cage. So when she wakes up in the morning in her dollhouse, she looks at the little thing of moths and then she forgets that moths are real for the rest of the day. Oh. Oh.

Oh. So anyway, what I'm trying to say is inside the little house, she has it kind of set up like a real home. She loves to sew and make toys. So she has a doll room. She has a sewing room. And she has a fabric room. So you could potentially make little disguises if you wanted to. Well, I mean, she already saw us in these forms, right? What if we dress up as moffs? We could try. I mean, we could get dressed up, but I'm not sure what good that's going to do. Do we even want her to not remember us? Isn't the whole point that She's got to deal with us?

I don't know. I'm not really going to plan. I don't know. I just thought that sometimes, you know, we'll, what we'll do is we'll see what costumes there are when we get in there, and we might be able to pull them a little bit of a shirt. Oh, that's a good point. It'll give us some.

And she'll say, oh, gosh, how I love toys dressed up in a show, I'll deal with you twice as daintifully. That's right. We are gonna have to explain why we were motionless and what we were doing in the room that she initially inspected us in. Maybe we hadn't been animated yet. Or maybe we should just, maybe we should just pretend to be new toys. That's a good point. Huh.

Then how do we explain to how we got the posters once we're transformed back? What if, uh, what if we dressed up like unicorns? She forgot unicorns real. And then like, she's, we steal the unicorns. that you want real bad and she doesn't recognize it's gone for a whole day. Because she can't remember unicorns are a thing. Well, but the unicorn's not really a unicorn right now. It's more like a rocking horse, so I don't know what's gonna...

It is like a transit of property. There's a lot of layers of it. Does that apply to all horses or horse-like things? Or that apply to Centaur? Well, maybe one of us dresses up like a rocking horse and the other one dresses up like a unicorn, and then just Torbeck looks like Torbed. I'm kind of worried about bringing up a unicorn thing at all.

Because she can't find out that we have the horn. That's the key to all this. That's true. Okay. Well, but if she sees us like a unicorn, she won't even remember that the horn is relevant. Well, but we wanted to remember us so that we can talk to her, right? I feel like we are wasting time trying to plan.

We have never been good at plans. And look how well we did in the Downfall Dungeon. We murdered some little guys. We met some freaky lady who brought us. about the downfall of all the Bullywoods and love killing them. And we made it out of there, okay? You almost died? Oh, I almost died.

We literally died. Oh, wasn't there like a Seda with a gigantic penis? That's right. Oh, I didn't really notice. What was he doing that? Yeah. He flew away. Anyway, let's continue.

We should go in the house, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got a plan. I think you're as prepared as you could possibly. Yeah, costumes and all that. Get into my hands, friends, and tiny little goblin. Don't drop me. She picks all of you up and she slowly opens the door

and sidles out of it. You are immediately, your nostrils are hit with the smell of damp wood, musk, and rot. This place is clearly decaying. The dollhouse you can see, or this entire room is dark. The soft sounds of the sound cow-pig sleeping are the only noise that you can hear in this place. And unlike when you walked in, the dollhouse was completely dark, you now see that there

are lights on in every room in this house. Soft, flickering yellow light from within. Mishka slowly makes her way over to the doll house and leans down. I just realized I need my notebook. She slowly leans down and looks towards the dollhouse. She knocks a couple of times on the door and leans forward. And she says rumple clump.

I love it. Yeah, she leans forward, rumple clump. And she knocks in the door three times and with a soft, the door itself swings outward. There is a small porch attached to the front of this, and she slowly places you down on the steps in front of it. All right, well that's really as far as I can take you. Okay. Good luck, I guess, and I will go cut my leg off.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Only cut off your leg if it's obviously dire. Last case scenario. Okay, sure. All right? Yes. All right. Good luck.

Good luck, little child. Yeah. It was nice meeting all of you and also Grico. I'll see you again soon. It was nice meeting you too. Yes, we'll see you again, Michigan. We'll be fine, you'll be fine, everything will be fine. Goodbye.

Bye. And she slowly turns and starts to walk away. You notice that she turns and she looks back at you. Then she turns, walks a little further, turns and looks back at you, her shoulders slump. She looks down her hands. I can't believe I'm doing this. And then she walks out of the room

and shuts the door softly behind her. You can hear the pattering of her little feet as she makes her way down the stairs. And then you're met with nothing but the sound of the sow pigs, soft inhale and exhale. We'll never see her again, aren't we? Well, direct hopes we do.

You gotta try at least. Yeah. I mean, she's some kind of like crazy hag amalgamation thing. Yeah. She's not just some girl. She's technically not a child, I guess. I mean, we don't know the fucking nature of it,

but I mean, it's dangerous even in fucking beating with her. Well, she's the only one who's willing to help us, so we gotta try. No, I know. No, no, no, that's fine. I'm not saying we won't. Maybe if we unlock her power, she can become a super witch and kill all the other witches. That'd be pretty cool. That'd be very cool. That'd be very cool.

It is pretty cool. Anyways, let's make our way through the dollhouse quickly. and if there's anybody that we have to fight, let's try to be like, oh, we don't want to fight. We're just toys. Gideon. This is what Frost always said. I'm saying.

We get every time. We don't have time. He didn't even want us to kill the snake. And it took like three seconds. They did do like three seconds. No, my God, I estimated that. That was crazy. There's no estimations in a fight, Torbeck.

You just dive in and win. All right. Okay. We will continue and we will not murder the Sal Ping yet. That's right. Salpick's gone.

She's running out. No, we're in a dollhouse, man. You were on the veranda outside of the dollhouse. There are steps that go up, a wraparound porch on the front, and the door itself has swung open. The light is spilling out

onto the veranda in front of you, but you are very close to the Sao Pig. you can smell her piggy goodman. I thought it was like another room. She's right over there! Holy kid, she's right over there! Okay, let's go, let's go before she gets up. All right, yeah.

This is long. Ended a four years. Yeah, I'll go to last and I run. I will close the door very quiet. You close the door behind you, and upon entering, you were met with a large Victorian style dollhouse in front of you. The wallpaper is peeling and faded.

The wooden floorboards creak beneath your feet. They are swollen with moisture. You can see mold growing between the planks of wood. The places where there would be paint have all begun to chip and fade away. The bits of metal pieces, the metal pieces, the metal. chandelier, the sconces on the walls that house tiny flickering lightning bugs have all begun to rust and you can see trails of rust down from the sconces on the walls where just years of dilapidation have begun to eat away at this place. And yet the smell that you

are met with is one of freshly baked goods and foods. You can smell roasted meats, and what is very clearly buttery, garlicky potatoes. You smell the faint sense of cookies and cakes and pies all wafting from the opposite end of the house. What you're looking at now is this large entry room with one side you see a stairwell that makes its way straight up. Off to your side, you see a parlor inside,

plush, yet rotting chairs. And yet still, in front of them is what is clearly a tea service. And you can see the smoke wafting up from the tea kettle as if it had just been freshly brewed and placed there mere moments before you made your way in. All the rest of the smells are coming down the hallway in front of you. You hear no sounds. You listen and wait. You hear no sounds above.

You hear no sounds below or in any of these rooms. but the smell is overwhelming. Is this house like to our scale, predatory style? Yes. Or is it like, okay. I think it might be a metaphor. What? A metaphor?

As in we are all just dolls. A metaw? He means metaphor. Oh. What? Do you know what I said? Yes. Ph. is a fur.

Yeah, pH is fur. Fah. Yeah. Fah. Yeah. Well, I don't think that's right. But anyway, I think that it's a metaphor, a metaphor about how we are just dolls

with Granny Notchay's, Meccanashin. So does she shrink herself down and live in this thing? Probably, she's a little freak. She's a little freak! She's a little fuck. She's got a lot of issues. If she awakens, or if she's asleep, and she awakens, we have to make sure that, we're not the first thing that she sees.

That could cause complications. Or maybe if she sees like one of us, that's okay. As long as the rest of us she can see and process. I would make one of us totally invisible, wouldn't it? Yeah. That could be useful. That means that one of us wouldn't be able to be transformed back. Oh, no, you're right.

Bad idea, bad idea. Terrible idea. Yeah. She's frost, what the fuck. But if they were Idiin, then he would have his train power. Torback thinks that's actually not a bad idea. What do you mean? Why?

She's looking for Torback. Is she? Yeah, she is. That's a good... That's right. Wow, brilliant fucking idea. She's going to milk you until the cows come home. So if you're the first thing she sees...

That is... She's... No. She's going to shake you up and milk it until you can't take it no more. Conflict. And then she's going to come from a wind slide. Conflict as Torbeck is, it would mean that Torbeck might not be able to help.

But Torbeck wouldn't be kidnapped forever. I'll think you, Rob. I think you need to stay as a dirty, gross clay thing. Well, what if we just like... You don't have to say it like that. Oh, well suddenly, oh, Grico, you're less than average goblin hard, even though statistically speaking, I'm actually quite average range of male goblins. You're projecting a lot right now, Grigo. We all need you to focus.

Yeah, listen to fucking tour back. He should be leading us. Cormac could never. Cumberman could never. I'm just saying, and what goes around comes around. All right, we gotta keep our voices down. Somebody's baking something. But let's proceed. Let's speak to the first room.

Yes, the first room. We go to the first room. Someone in the kitchen of the dog. The parlor that you see off to the side with the tea. Yes, the tea swamps. We go to the parlor. You immediately turn to the right,

these large pocket doors. are open. You see how they slide into the walls on either side. There is a beautiful, dusty and molding stained glass window above the door that very clearly shows what appears to be a bubbling cauldron and curling blue roses. You step through into the parlor and you see that this room is very clearly used for entertaining. You can see that the The seats here are worn and fading in their color, but at their height they would have been brilliant blues and purples. There is, towards the very back, you see that there are another set of pocket doors that

lead clearly into a dining room, and it is immediate to you that this is where most of the smells are coming from. A large oaken table that is chipping and... and peeling is leaden with pounds and pounds of fresh food. You see large roasted meat, huge, large tubs of sides, roasted vegetables, potatoes of all kinds, eggs. There are goblets filled with drink.

It seems like anything you could possibly imagine is laid out here on the table. All of it looks as if it had fresh been placed here, but all untouched. Wow. Ready to be here making this delicious feast. We shouldn't touch it. We should leave it alone.

How do you half expect something? No, you expect half of all of your expectations is the thing that you expect, and then there are other expectations. I'll look at the food. You're just like inspect it, see if it's real. See if it's real or if it's like Barbie style like fake post. Oh. You make your way out of the, out of the parlor and into the dining room, your the floorboards creaking with every step, and yet it feels as if that sound does not leave

the area that you're in and as you listen, and the rest of you would notice this as Cremie walks through the parlor, you hear the creaking of his feet, but the moment he steps into the kitchen, you are into the dining room, that sound ceases to reach your ears. However, Kremi, you hear your feet creaking on the floorboards as you walk. You make your way to the dining room table and you reach out to a large stuffed turkey. The steam rising off of it as it, as you breathe in the scent of it. And you reach down and take a handful of stuffing from from the inside and it feels moist in your hand and warm. It's clearly not a prop like you had been expecting.

It doesn't make any fucking sense. Hey fellas, this food is real. And it's still like piping hot. Who is she setting a place for dinner? She knew we were coming, I mean. But we're told as we can't eat, can we? I wanna stick a claw into the turkey and rip off a piece of meat and feel if it reacts

like a turkey would. You sink your finger in and it is juicy. You feel the crispy skin against your nail as your finger breaks through the skin and into the flesh. It pulls away and it is soft and only slightly pinkish, but a smoked pink, almost as if this had been cooked in some sort of smoker or some sort of open oven. It's moist and beautiful and it is very clearly turkey.

I'm not a roast turkey guy, but hot damn, oh. I put it back, don't eat it. But then all sort of absent mind-inally like, like sort of just kind of lick my fingers as I continue to inspect the table. You don't even think about it as you lick your fingers. The salty gaminess of the turkey is delicious. You can, you taste a little bit of,

mesquite and you realize that were you to take a actual bite of this turkey, it would be probably one of the best turkeys you've ever eaten. Definitely not one that someone had put in the oven for like six hours on a certain day of the year and let it completely dry out because turkeys can't cook in an oven properly because of how dense they are and how the way the meat is distributed and that you have to stuff it full of really wet bread crumbs and just try and infuse some more moisture into but it still doesn't really work. It's not like that at all.

But smoking and grilling. Mm-hmm. Oh, man. Even in your toy form, I can see you eyeing that turkey, Kremie. I am, fellas. Control yourself. We don't know who prepared this or for whom. Are you in the room with him?

I assume we all went to the parlor. Well, that seems to, sorry, continue. The only person that said they were going into that room was Kremi. Oh, my apologies. Oh, I guess I'm in the parlor. Well, but you, I mean, there's an opening, right? Yes. You would say that.

One of them in Victorian houses, what they use a lot are what are called pocket doors. So they close like this, but they slide into the walls. So that way you have more space. And so the pocket doors are open. You can see directly into this room. There's a huge opening there. He didn't close it behind him. But as you did you actually look it up?

Yeah, I had to look at it. Very cool. And pocket doors are so cool. I wish they would come back into fashion. They're amazing. It allows you to have closed rooms when you need them, but also have an open layout when you have guests, which is brilliant. Thank you, the Victorians.

You say that you call this out to Kremi. You're only four or five feet from him. And the rest of you hear it. Krummi, you hear nothing. You smell the turkey, and you look down and you see a piping hot ceramic bowl filled with mashed potatoes. The soft, yellowy tint to them

shows the butter that went into this. They are sprinkled with finely cut chives and lightly salted and peppered. And there's a huge glimmering spoon next to them, a wooden spoon, yes. Does that mean we haven't heard anything that he said? No. Are those a...

What you can see is cremmy looking over this table. You see him reach down and pry part of the turkey. You watch as he sniffs it, but he doesn't eat it and puts it back down. But you're staring at his back. You don't see that his lips are moving. Are those pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes? Oh, hey, guys.

Being in here reminds me of that time, we pulled a whole house out of Mr. Crummy's ass. Oh, yeah. That was good times. I don't know how he fit in there. Yeah. You're toys then, too. What a wonderful, mysterious place this is.

It really is. Do I look over and see you, like, actually, like, pulling the... I'm, like, trying to... I'm, like, staying on my diet by sniffing it but not eating it kind of bad. Cremie, make sure that you don't eat that. No. Cremere, how does it look in there? Oh, man.

Cremant. Mr. Crammy! Cells, come on. Mr. Crammy. Cremie. I turn back. Do I see them looking at, like... Yeah, you see them looking at you.

You say, you say, fellas, come on. What the fuck? They have just called... as they had just called Cremie, you all just stared each other for a minute. And they see my mouth move, but no sounds coming through. No sound.

What the fuck? Oh, this is crazy, and I walk through in the kitchen. What's going on, Mr. Cremie? You couldn't hear us? And now we can't hear Torbe. All of you, as Torbeck's walking in, you hear, what the heck, and then silence

as you hear, Elle is going on, Crummy. Whoa, what in the fuck? Oh, thank goodness. Sound roof. This is perfect. I'm going to turn. Hey guys, come on in. Can you hear us?

No. It's good to be the lips, though. Oh. Okay, let's all get in this. Make sure we're in the same room. Yeah, we got to have. Okay, we go to the kitchen. Oh, it smells even better in here.

Oh. Hey, this is crazy. We wouldn't hear each other through the room. That's actually good, which means we can be as loud as we want and scabafo. This is fantastic news. Hear us. Exactly right. I was about to make that point.

Because her dumb old ass is probably sleeping. What I was trying to say to you guys is that this is real food. He's he made it, knows how to cook. I mean, look at this. It's not dull food. No, it smells so good. Can we eat? No.

Did you eat it? What are you eating? Oh. That looks like mashed potatoes. Yeah, probably mashed potatoes. You stick your hand into the mashed potatoes, and they are the exact consistency of whatever kind of mashed potatoes. you would like to eat.

They're slightly lumpy, but very well matched, clearly mixed with cream and butter, and you shovel it into your mouth, and it is, they're the best mashed potatoes you've ever had. Oh, that's probably fine. We got like 47 cookies at the other high, and he turned out okay. It's true, it's true.

It's so good, it's not as good as Uncle Globo's jacket potatoes with the beans and the tuna. But, Mm. Are we not trying to play with Granny? We need to make a good impression

just showing up and eating all of her food. I once heard of a fairy tale about a young lady who did that and she was torn apart. It is a little rude. Oh, I don't know if she put the whole spread out for us. We're going to let it go to waste.

We don't know that. Turkey's all this size. I mean, there's got to be some kind of hag trick going on. To be fair, Frusty, before we move on. If it's the same fairy tale I'm thinking of, She breaks into someone's house and is like, this bed kind of fucking sucks.

She was a bitch. She deserved to be torn about my face. Yeah, that was our way. Yeah, yeah. We don't want to be the bitcher. It took me a minute to realize you were doing gold locks and the three bears. I thought you were going to describe a porn

with the like, I'm here with the pizza. You want some sausage. And she touched her spaghetti. She's touching her spaghetti. How about this? Gideon will refrain from eating the food and Torbeth will try to also eat the food. And if Torbeck and Graco die,

we'll know that it's either the food is unsafe or it only kills goblinoid. Maybe it's just a mashed potatoes. I mean? No, no, no, no. I'm in. This is the plan. You, you,

stupid, Gideon. You begin shoveling food in cheer. to your mouth, and it is delicious. Everything that you try is perfectly cooked. This is terrible, giddy. You're missing nothing. Cremie, do you think you could make some mashed what they're eating, or perhaps we can promise it

when you were transformed back and you- If I had potatoes, I can make mashed potatoes, but I don't have any fucking potatoes and with the size of dolls. I made a bone, I don't have my fucking apron, I don't have my stuff, and they may die, frankly. Well, let's hope so. Sounds like someone's jealous

that they don't have a delicious slice of pumpkin paw. You can... There is. Do you have pumpkin pie? There's an entire table against the wall that is laden with pastries and baked goods. Cremie, you actually noticed something that you had not expected to see here.

There is an entire tiered, not, I almost said cake. There's not tiered... displayed display tray that is piled high with sugar-dusted vignets. What the fuck? This doesn't make any sense. Oh my God. I feel like this is some kind of trick. Let's just give it a second.

It feels like we taste dust and everything. They're gonna explode. In a minute. Oh, that was so good. Yeah, Grega, we really saved the party. We really saved a day bar taste test to give it. Goblin bros. Goblin bros.

You know we do what must be done. That's right. We do what must be done. We do this for you guys, not for us. Yeah, I don't know how I'm like how a wooden toy can eat so much deliciousness. I'm not gonna question this is fucking. You're splintering.

Yeah, I'm busting at the seams. I've got a lack of them of myself. Well, you know what if I just cut myself a slice of pumpkin pie for later, what do you think? Just in case it's okay. So I'm just like holding a plate that has a piece of pumpkin pie on it. You are.

It certainly add to more data. Either it means the food is bad or it kills alligator people and goblinoid. I can't think it in more. Oh my God. Well, Dormack guesses we can add to us in the list, too.

Man, you just ate a whole friend Flintstone rib, Gideon. I hope you're happy. Oh, I'm so happy. I'm so happy. Oh, it's so good. Your attention is drawn to what is very clearly six or seven complete racks of ribs.

You hadn't noticed them before, but there they are, clear as can be, right next to an entire container of pulled pork Next to that, you see some brisket. And it's not even your regular bris. It is fatty brisket. And it smells incredible. Oh, Tobek, is that an ice box that I see

perfectly stacked for a hilarious dagwood sandwich? I think it might be. Oh, thank God I did so much time at the Child Casino. I'm gonna shuffle that into a giant comical sandwich. Hel together by one two pick. Make Torbeck one two, please. Okay.

That food is cursed. I'm gonna say I told you so. We're already hideous toys. Whoa, here's how hilarious waltily sandwich. Ha, ha, ha, uh, uh. I will continue to have restraint. I would like you to roll a perception check for me, Crummy. Oh, gosh, I can't believe.

Oh, Giddy, when you're like a hilarious daguerg, sandwich. Yeah, make mine a double, though. Oh, well, I'm gonna twist it. Here you go. Much better. Oh, I guess this is he'll hit the spot. What did you say? 18. 18? Just condense that sandwich down to a dark stuff. Hospital plates. You hear sirens in the background and Fixie appears out of nowhere.

Shh. Shh. You are saying that this is cursed as you look down at this piece of pie and you think to yourself, I mean, it's just one slice. She won't even know what's missing as you glance at the rest of the pie and realize that it's a full pie. Where that slice had been that you took is gone. It's not missing. I mean, the slice is still on your plate, but the pie is perfectly intact.

Multiplying. You then begin to start looking at all of the containers that your companions have consumed from. Look at the mashed potatoes. Grico had just licked that bowl clean. But now that he's moved on to his Dagwood sandwich, you see that that bowl of mashed potatoes is completely pillowy full and that there is no hint whatsoever

that Grico had consumed anything. Turkey, I prefer Turlock. that was all right that was awful that was awful and I hate it yeah yeah wait

this is some kind of cursed food what do you mean Mr. Grammy look that pie's hole that bowl of mashed potatoes hasn't been touched the turkey

still fucking sitting there curse that's a blessing oh heck yeah that's what I was going to say too blessed to be stressed Do you see the hilariously Toll sandwiches that we just said it was delicious It was so good

Oh gosh Is it possible that this room is enchanted To perpetually provide the most delicious foods Endlessly for all time As if it had been just perfectly cooked I mean it's possible I guess That would be quite a room Yes it would

We never have to leave No we gotta fucking leave I'm not convinced All right I'm taking this pie with me The whole fucking thing Okay, and I'll wait. We'll go into the next room and see if the pot doesn't disappear. Yes, attempt to remove the pie from the room.

Okay. I will walk to the next room. I'm holding the pumpkin pie. Oh, both are nuts. I'll have to me to go. Some tram it. You moving further into the house or back out into the hallway where the stairwell is? Further into the house.

You do make your way into the hallway, but you head, instead of back towards the front door, you head towards the end of the house. There's only one more room left here. It is not exposed to you through a pocket door like the other ones are. This room is clearly not meant for entertaining, but to assist the entertaining. And as you make your way towards the back of the house, you see that there is a door that leads out to the room proper with three little steps that lead to the side table that this doll house is resting upon. But the door inside leads to what is very clearly a doll-sized kitchen. And inside there's everything that you could possibly imagine to cook with.

And you realize that the moment you think of something, you're thinking about gumbo. And as you look at the counter, you begin to see Andwee sausage. You see chicken. You see spices. You see the Holy Trinity. I think of mashed potatoes. You immediately look to the side. It's almost as if you realize where they should be.

And you see these burlap sacks of spuds just piled up against the wall. wall. Oh my God. What's wrong? This is a dream house. Look, I just think of it and the fucking ingredients appear. Grimmie, you gotta whip something up, man. You can't leave all this on the table. I immediately think as hard as I can about licorice. Actual licorice? Well, if it's where it believes to be a licorice. You are looking at the potatoes and all of a sudden you see a bunch of tubes, these plastic tubes, black plastic tubes, start appearing in the Whoa! It works! Don't touch it! Don't touch it! No!

Oh, no! Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. I think of actual licorice. And you see on the countertop this small little silk bag tied with a little ribbon, and you open it and inside you see that it's filled with soft pieces of licorice. Gordon Dorbeck. Yes, Frost? This is what licorice is.

What? No! Here. Try one. Ugh. That tastes like shit. Give me some of that. I rip off some tubing. Oh, it's a little bit of...

It's got some spit on it. Hold on. Oh, much better. That's just rubble hose. No, Tour makes pretty sure that this is the real licorish. Do you want to try this even if it isn't

liquorish taste like shit? It doesn't look great. And Gringo doesn't sound very pleased about it. It's very spicy. Isn't it a lovely? And it's incredibly chewy. It's flavored with anise. A little spicy.

It sucks. It sucks. It's more tubing. Oh, we'll go over to a shelf. Beans. Beans. No, no, no, no. Discipline of the mind.

Austin, you're always thinking about those beans. The point is, Mr. Krammys right? Oh, hold on, hold on. A goblin surfing turf, goblin surfing turf, just like a global user egg. There's no fucking way. There's no fucking way. I think about a goblin surfing turf.

And this, all of the ingredients, this isn't like the other room where the full sandwich may appear if you thought about it in the dining room, but you do see all the ingredients. You see a hoagie roll appear. You see, what was in it, tuna? Cans of tuna.

Cans of tuna. And ground beef for meatballs. And ground beef for meatballs. All the seasonings, they all just seem to be laid out on one of the cutting tops. Well, I mean. And you even see that right next to it is a little stepstool so that you can reach up to the top

and make the goblin surf and turf if you like. Fellas, you have not had an Uncle Glovo's Goblin Surf and Turf. Allow me to whip something up for your old. Torbeck doesn't even know what you're talking about. Oh yeah, do you have time for that? I... Fine!

I would like to explore and see if the other amenities of this house are similarly dreamlike. Perhaps that is the quality of this dollhouse. Will could be done with his plan at any fucking moment. Fine. All right. All that time... I'll make a whole goddamn Sunday dinner. I mean, what the fuck are you?

If this car will whip up some classic Uncle Globo-style goblin serpenters. So are we moving on? They're moving on. All right, one minute. I still haven't touched it. I think I'm the only one who hasn't eaten anything. You took a place of pie, but you haven't eaten them. Does it maintain?

Yeah. Okay. Yep. I still have a pie. I'll say a couple cans of tuna for the road. Goodbye potatoes and beans. They're more like jars of tuna. Oh.

You imagine cans would be a little hard to muster. Goodbye tuna can, road. Why? It's like, it's almost, it's like, it's like, Gifilta fish where it's like, just this murky, oily, liquid and the tuna floating enough. Oh, an idiot, strain it.

The juice is the good part. Well, I'm a beverage for the road. Let's go, lads. Oh, my God. And disgust. Even torment. When you're not looking, it takes out with the rubber hose and I like, try to like,

oh, whoa. Well. A little bit. Well. We move on. You've ruined everything. I'm pretty. We proceed.

Let's proceed. Yeah. You make your way back out into the hallway. Oh, yeah. The smells of all of the food still overwhelming, but some of you feel full. You've just had the best meal that you've had in the longest time.

As you make your way towards the stairwell, and I'm assuming begin to make your way upstairs. We do. The sounds of the stairwell creaking beneath your feet, is much louder than you'd expected. And it echoes throughout the hallway. As you get further and further up the stairwell, you find that the second floor of this place is very similar to the first.

The same peeling wallpaper, the same rusty wall sconces. You do see that up here there are paintings that are framed and mounted on the walls and that the varnish on them has yellowed and browned and that the images, you can see parts where the paint is flaking away and the frames have begun to swell and sag on the walls. But all in all, it looks, what is this song? I was going to say, it sounds like Voices of the Temple from Donkey Kong Country.

Sounds like the Donkey Kong Country Temple level. I'm kind of vibe. I mean, that's fine. We'll keep it. It's part of a true, yeah, it's nothing to do with goblin temples, but it's fine. So you find yourselves in a hallway. The layout of this floor is similar to the first. There are three rooms running all along the side and the hallway stretches along the length of them. However, you don't see any pocket doors.

This is clearly a, this floor is clearly a place where privacy is wanted. And so it's not a floor that's meant for entertaining. As you spill out onto the hallway, you are looking at a wall. You can make left or right, you see that there are two small doors that lead into rooms. But the view of the middle room, the one that you're facing, you see no door that enters into that. that enters into that room. To make a choice. Well, why don't we just go right?

I was going to suggest left. Oh, here we go. Glass and Frost. Well, Frost is a small, oh, good, call it. Whatever one of the options is. Oh, no, you got it. Whoa! Oh!

You got it. You go right. You're right. All right. He called it. He called it. He called it. He called it.

He called it. He called it. He called it. I blind all of you for one minute. Whichever one of the options. Can't argue with that. True. Horse.

He got it. First drawn. It's minor. It's a horse. Easy. Yeah. As this happens around you, Frost, you shake your head at the idiocy of this and look down towards the left. You see at the very end there is a door open in the hallway and there's a small, what is very

clearly a washroom, a bathroom of sorts right next to whatever room that is, but you relinquish yourself to the decision of the group and you turn towards the right. You walk down in this hallway past paintings of idyllic glades and beautifully dressed women swinging from trees in a forest on the soft wooden swings. It's all very pastoral and beautiful. Are the paintings still or are they Harry Potter? They're still. Okay. All the while, the beauty of them.

What you would imagine at their prime would have been pastel colors and vibrant greens are all covered over with a thick layer of aging varnish. And you continue down this creaking hallway, illuminated in the soft lights of these lightning bugs that are trapped within these wall sconces. And you find yourselves at what is very clearly, or in most cases, would have been a bedroom door. But this room was not used for a bedroom. As the door itself slides open, you see a rusting old iron sewing machine up against the wall, fitted into a large table.

There are spools of thread. This way and that, you see Menequins all over the mannequins. I just really wanted to say Meneckin. Meneckins. Riches House, or Riches It looks like it's going to explode. You see mannequins lining the wall, three to be exact, all in varying sizes. You see fabric thrown here and there, different rulers and shears and things of that nature.

This is a very haphazard space. Unlike the room downstairs, all of them that looked like they had been freshly used, this looks like it hasn't been used in ages. covered in cobwebs and dust. And yet all the while, there's something about it that feels lived in, something about it that feels more used than the room is downstairs. The seat looks and feels more worn.

The sewing machine is rusting, but you can see the markings on it where it's clearly been spinning. There's a fresh glowing, or there's a fresh shine needle in it that catches the light. Oh. And then you notice that this is where the door to that middle room is. It is a jar, and you can see that it is a room that's filled with nothing but piles and piles of fabric. There are shelves and shelves lined with bolts and yardage of fabric.

Varying types, laces, cottons, linens, silks. And all of them, even though the shelves that they're on are dilapidated and worn, all the fabric seem to be in pristine condition. So that I can re-synthesize this, we've walked into the sewing room. Yeah. It's cobwebbed. There's an adjacent door where we can see from this room. Yeah, so when you came up the stairs,

Yeah, so you came up the stairs, you had a left or right. There's a room here, a room here, and then you were facing what was clearly the wall to a room, but there you saw no door to it. When you went into this room, you saw the sewing room, and then clearly a door connects the two. And that room was... And that room is filled with beautiful fabrics. but not like a bedroom or anything. Where is the Peruvian flute band? It's about the size of a bedroom.

I'm sorry, what? Sorry, the music is giving me big Peruvian flute band energy right now, and so I'm just thinking, anyways. Yeah, yeah. There's a llama eating fabric in the corner. Oh, that's so sad. Oh, that's so cool.

Oh, my past now Svedche. What in the first? Oh, do we remember what we had to steal? Do we ever figure that out? I mean, we assume the key, but that might just kill her. Then we had to steal, uh... I feel like it's part of our body. Yeah, we're not sure, but, you know, kind of like the thread.

I think we'll know when we say it, you know, we saw the thread and it was like, oh, Torbe's got to steal that, so we did. What about the gleaming needle on this, uh, this year's sewing machine? Let's take a look. Let's case to join. Let's basically look, because that's what we did at Bavlonas. We wouldn't and we rolled her. So we need to see if there's similar things we can steal in every room. Yeah, we also had to beat someone with an edge of their life before we stole it. Yeah, that's pretty true.

And then we chucked those plant people outside of the window. We never figured out what happened to them. Yeah, who can say? Yeah, you did a really good job. You put out very far. Sometimes you got hurt somebody out of window, you know? I agree we should inspect the room and see if we can find anything that calls to us in the same way that the... that the spool did.

After then, I have a stupid idea, and I'd like to try it. Okay. Are there any costumes already assembled? You imagine you would have to go into the fabric room? That's just the cursory glance that you have. You haven't gone in there. Oh, okay. We haven't, like, proceeded to them.

I'll check out the fabric room. Take a look at the sewing machine. Yeah, take a look. Yeah, see what makes a tick. The sewing machine, you sit down at the sewing machine. This is clearly, this is a sewing machine unlike any that you've seen before, but you... You know how to sell. You are an engineer.

I took part one on a Mac. I don't have to sew. Where else are we going to get tents? And... You know, all those tents, that was easy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And curtains. For the stage.

Yeah, I was out there so intense left. You know, big top, little top, all of them. All of them. I would tell her. All the times. All the time. I would come up to you and say, doesn't that work look intense?

And you'd be like, fuck off. Oh, yeah, yeah, you got me. The good old days. Oh, man. Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, that Tom that curly drank himself to death on wood thinner. Yeah.

Oh, man. It was paint thinner. Paint finner. That's really sad. Yeah. I mean, we didn't, remember we found his body like weeks later in the haunted house. Part of the reason

Dorebeck drinks so heavily is to forget his sense is like... Yeah. I think he fought Chuckles was fucking his wife. Remember that? Oh yeah. And his wife was imaginary. It was a horrible sad affair.

It was a very bizarre experience. That was that day that we were preparing for the inspectors, right? Yeah, yeah. Colin. That's when Colin was there. Oh, Colin, that's right. Not Rennell.

Yeah, Rennell. I thought it was Rennell, but you shamed me into remembering you. Happier times. Happier times for sure. Did anyone ever have any fun at that carnival? We made some money. Yeah, we made fun.

And then we lost it all. We lost all of them. I just meant patrons. No. Who cares about them? Once he gets their dollars? What the hell? I can't believe that there was a clown at the carnival

that getting in an accidentally manslaughter. Anyway, let's take a look at that. And it cuts immediately to that time that you had asked Gideon to go in and get you the paint thinner, but he saw the alcohol and he swapped the bottles and brought the alcohol, and then you see a curly walking in and looking for the alcohol and grabbing a bottle of paint thinner and making its way towards the haunted house.

It cuts back to current day. You sit down at the sewing machine, and you look for a mechanism to turn this thing, thing on and you look for a crank, you find none, and then you look down at your feet and you see that there's a pedal. This is a treadle sewing machine. Put your feet on it and you have to rock them back and forth in motion to get the wheel to start spinning.

There is a leather cord that wraps around the wheel at the top and slowly you hear the of the sewing machine as it softly begins to move. the amount of rust on this thing, it is shocking to you how smooth the movement is on this. But you are able to, you are able to get into a rhythm, and it almost reminds you of the wheels of a train, the sound that it makes as it begins to spin. All the while, that needle is shining in the light, pristine. Oh. Well, this is a brand bag memories, both good and bad. Well, it's working. Yeah, I mean, it's working. You know, what is it, I mean, the needles like gleaming in the light,

I get any kind of sense of, is it like removable? Yeah, you imagine you could remove it. There's a small knob to the side that you would have to turn it. You play with it a little bit, it's clearly, clearly sticks, but with a bit of strength, you're able to twist the little screw. And as it as it unscrews, you can tell that the end of the end of the the screw was putting pressure on the needle and holding it in place.

And as the screw starts to screw out, the needle drops down into the machine. But the top part of it is still exposed. You're able to pick it up and pull it out. Oh, Gideon, we need to steal that. Is that relevant to you name? It looks silver just like the Fred. Yeah, exactly right.

I mean, this ain't just any whole regular needle. I mean, this is a sewing treble needle. I don't have those. Treble needle? A treble needle? A treble needle, exactly right? Oh, my God. That sounds special.

I don't know what I got to about sewing. This is a prime needle. I just figured it out. Is that I bet each of them has a silver thing. Oh. In the stories that I would tell, as part of one of the requirements, the core requirements,

was a lit class in Goblin College. And we learned that basically there would be Fred and a needle. And I bet there's a silver. scissors that Enderlund has to represent like weaving fate in cutting them in time. And so I bet we gotta steer the needle, the thread, and the scissors. Wait, she represents the past. Who? Babel.

Wait. Scabatha. Scabatha, right? Mm-hmm. Yes. And we know that Endolyn represents the future, right? And that's when you die. So does the scissors.

So you need the needle goes first, then there's the thread, the present, and then you Oh, Mr. Crimy, that's brilliant! And that's why they call it a present, because every day is a gift. Oh. Wow. That's what I tell who it's saying. That's very sweet. I don't know, maybe something else, though.

No, I mean, I think that sounds perfectly reasonable. Ooh, that'd be really gross. Often we've got to steal a needle and give it to the King of Hodge. Hey, Praise, what do you see? Oh. Do I hear? You hear nothing. Yeah.

As you step into the other room. I haven't heard any of this conversation. You walk out of the room and you stop hearing the footfalls of your friends. And you are just in a room filled with fabric. The smell of the fabric, it's almost like being in a library and smelling the dusty old tomes. There's a comfort to the feeling of fresh fiber. And you begin to look around. You see that there are shelves after shelves after shelves.

This is a large-sized bedroom is filled with, at first, what appears to be nothing but fabric. And then you notice that there is a large armoire against the right wall, flanked on either side by yet more shelves of fabric. And as you open it, you see that there are racks of what appear to be costumes. And as you pull on them, you realize this rack moves and it starts to move out. And there are far more costumes as you begin to be costumes. is you begin to pull these, them out. They're spinning almost on a track,

and you realize that they, there are far more in here than you should be able to fit. You reach in to try and feel the back of the armoire, but you're never able to feel the back. It's almost as if it never ends. Narnia? You look at one of the doors, and you see that etched into the door

is clearly the maker's signature, Narnia carpentry. Oh, wow. I'm gonna carpentry. That's an expensive armour. I will look through the various different fabrics and through the outfits and see if anything jumped out of me. Sure. Roll a D-100 for me, please.

Oh, wow. That's a lot of outfits. Guys, I found an armworn, although I think they should have been in my fucking leg war. Shut the fuck up. Give me some 96 action. Oh, wow, 96. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

Guys, look what I found. Oh, my God. Who needs to FIwaw? Let's go. You spin this around, and what catches your attention is a costume that is clearly fabric. But when you move it, it looks almost mechanical. And it catches, this is actually a really good one for you. It catches your attention because you've used something like this before. These colorful cubes where they have a different color on each side,

but they're all switched around randomly. And you have to use your mind to figure out exactly which way to turn each of the cubes until you get all of the colors on the same side. Common training exercise. It's a common training exercise when you were, when you were going through your tutelage. And this is a frost-sized one of these. And it even sort of works.

You could put this outfit on your body and move. They're almost like quilted squares that you can move around until you Rubik's cube them into place. I don't have my zionic abilities in this form, but I will take the time to quickly look at all the faces of the costume and see if I can get the faces too much. A roll in intelligence check. $25.

Yeah. It's easy. You play around with this and you get it exactly the way you wanted to. You even get the color on the side that you want it to be. Yep. Nothing happens when I unlock the faces of the costume. No, just very clearly a costume. Remarkable creativity.

It must have been extremely challenging to produce a costume like this. This isn't what we're looking for. Sure, but that's cool. I will continue, I'll glance back and see if everything's on fire or if it's fine. Everything seems to be fine. I'd be coming through maybe at this point. Yeah, you see Gideon still sitting at the sewing machine.

He's holding up the needle in the light. You can see how the light refracts off of the metal. And he seems very pleased with himself as Kremi walked through the door. We did it. As he steps foot, you into the room, you hear it. hear the creaking of his footfalls. Yeah. Grimy.

What you're fine? I don't believe there's anything of particular importance in here. There's an endless armoire of outfits and different- And costumes? And there's all of these varieties of fabric that could be used to make additional kind of- Oh, I put a little arm-war and I rummage in and I pull something out. Oh, what's up for me?

49. Mm. Cremmy, I think they should call it a my fucking legwar. I just stop. You see my back, like, and then I continue to run. You pull out a tea-stained linen costume, and it looks like it's a rolled-up piece of parchment at first, wrapped around your, like, you look at it,

it looks like a rolled-up piece of parchment around your body, and as you pull it open, you realize that it is, in fact, supposed to look like a rolled up piece of parchment. But as you unfurl it, you see that on it, painted on the fabric itself with embroidery to help get the image across, is a child's drawing of an ony.

And as you look at it, you look at the blue beard, you look at the horns and the teeth, and you realize that this is very clearly the child's drawing of what Will of the Faywild would have looked like in his own form. What the fuck? I mean, this seems like fucking divine providence. What do you think?

Wow, is it another one of these posters? It's, I mean, it's a, is it a dress? It's like, it's like, it kind of looks like a sack, but it's got, it's got pieces of linen that when pulled out, you just look like a sheet of paper with a drawing on it, but it curls around you as if it's a rolled up piece of parchment. I don't know if this would help or hurt

calls having this almost I feel like any disturbance to the space that we're in is an invasion of privacy I was hoping to find Granny Nightshade right away so we could parlay well I'm gonna rummage through a stuff and steal one of a clothes

oh I walk past criminal you do you a stepstool appears for you and you climb up and I begin to stepstool I got him I have to put a tall arm off

I don't mean I mean I feel like it's just very, I'm very, I'm very, I'll use it because it's here, but I'm not really, I'm not using it because she told me to it. I want you. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, it'll help me. It's just, it's just started to make it unusually tall for tall freaks of nature around here.

Roll a D-100 for me as you climb up the step stool and you get to rummage through the costumes. I'm gonna use my amazing Sarnax dice that Milo given it me. Thank you, Milo. 50. 50. Oh, no more than what I had.

If it's the same, I'll re-roll. No, it's not the same. No, you had 49. I did. Yeah, but sometimes they group stuff together. Oh, no, there are individual ones for each one. You pull out a costume that is very clearly a tiny hourglass devoid of sand.

Oh. Well, I mean, that accentuates the ideal figure. You pull it down around your body, and the way that the glass looking through it shapes things, you look like you have incredibly large breasts. Griggo, you look like you have incredibly large breasts. She's like to have Tom for the Scarecrow when you first time I was a little bit of a little. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Exactly like that. Yeah, that was weird.

That was strange tombs. I don't really like this. Anyone else want it? I don't think that we should be doing any of this. I'm gonna bring this giant, like, poster of an owning, maybe to like, show a little. Oh, hey, this is what Will looks like. And, uh, you know, maybe they'll help our case.

But otherwise, I agree. I don't think we should, like, wear anything. I think we'll find. Oh, that glass coven. Yes. Ah. I'm gonna go in one more time here, 67. Oh.

You find what appears to be a, the costume of a sun, a bright sun. Yeah. Let's go, I'm kind of bored. I'm still with Gideon. He's looking at the needle. Oh yeah. Hey, Gideon.

Hey, what's up, Torbett? Do you think you should hold onto the thread too? Well, I mean, I guess I could, but what if they capture one of us, you know? Is it a bad thing to have all these here, Knickknacks on one of us? Well, that's what made Torbeck think of this. Maybe we should split them up, but maybe Torbeck shouldn't have any of them.

Well, man, I'll hold it for now if you don't want to hold it. You think she might recognize you. But maybe we also just cover up some of your doodads, you know? So if she squitches the back, you don't look like a giant glowing crystal. If we could, we could make it look like Torbeck has even more holdings. even more horrible deformities. We don't want to scare her. You know, I mean, she's just, she's a hag.

Well, she couldn't hurt our cause. I mean, it could if she's scared. You know, she's like horribly good. It's got to be pretty scared. It's hard to scare a hang, right? I mean, you'd think, but you want to come more deformities on you, I think we'd get there. I mean, just like, you know, maybe a big old hump covering up the tanks. You know, I just...

Torbeck can even, like, lean over. drag a leg behind them. Oh, this is kind of a nice place. You just in the kitchen? It was really nice. Yeah. Oh, wait a minute. Torbeck can't give you the thread.

Oh, we don't have pockets. Sweet. If Tormec knew, ah, Torbeck is worried. Listen, man, I think it's all gonna work out in the exact way it's supposed to, okay? Okay. I think we should maybe just just put like one piece of cloth over you.

All right, nothing too medicine. Maybe not a hump. Maybe don't limp, you know, don't do any of that weird stuff that you do. What weird stuff? Maybe just don't, you know, like, eat me licorice while you're around her. Oh, okay, well, you go look for fabric

to throw over tour bag. Yeah, what do you think they're doing in there? Uh-huh. You think they're having a dress-up episode? It's extremely likely. Yeah. Let's go catch up. All right. Let's see what's happening. Let's go, fellas. Time to go.

Oh, man. What's going on? We were just leaving. Grab some cloth in the back. We can toss over Torbeck. Just grab it. We just want to throw us on the over Torbeck's tanks. Just a ream of cloth. Just grab a rim of cloth. Here's what I got. I mean, this is basically just a rolled-up piece of cloth. Yes. It happens to have a giant fuckingoni on it.

Gideon. Gideon was very specific not to see. scare the hag. I mean, I don't think, I mean... I feel like we need something a little more incognito. Just a piece of cloth is fine. Not to overthink this. I feel like it'd be kind of hard to scare a hag.

I mean... That's what Torbeck said. But the game was like, well, it's just a big Torbay. I mean... Oh, that's right. You got to hear his idea. I mean...

All right. It's a bit board. We still got to decide. I mean, the one undone. knowledgeable truth of this whole thing is that we these rooms can produce anything we think of right and so Obviously we got to find the bedroom Why why why you mean why I understand what your thing and I haven't thought about I don't appreciate that should should we I thought about what should we don't have time should we don't have time we don't need that much time Yeah look I get you only five minutes

Scamif is gonna be the bedroom. That's a gross thing and if she's asleep then Torbeck wakes her and Torbeck suddenly stops being a problem. Why did you say it like that? Because then she won't know that you exist. No, but she's got to turn Torbeck back, man. She can't forget about Torbeck. You can find another Torbeck, uh, toy maker. We can have a... Find another Torbeck! We can call him Toybeck and he can hang out in our pocket.

That's pretty... Torbeck doesn't think we can have it both ways, Gideon. Torbeck thinks it's one or the other. and as much as Torbeck would like to be chained up in milked, Torbeck doesn't want to be a battery. Oh, God. What? We need to kill us, right?

If we walk into the bedroom and things start, like, popping up magically, maybe you and you should stay outside. What? Come on, man. Wait, do you have access to, like, the mind blank spell? Not currently. Oh. Yeah, maybe you should stay outside. We're the only one who's shown any ounce of discipline in this house.

As soon as you smelled the mashed potatoes, you guys were armed deep in the hole. We did that for you, Frost. Yeah, we did that for you, Frog. Yeah, it was an experiment. It wasn't for us at all. It was for skinned. It was an excuse so that you could eat it. And I only went elbows deep into the turkey.

Turnback was shoulder deep. That was on the doorback. I couldn't reach it. That was a deep hole. Now it's step tools in the table for Grinco. Oh, let's go. He's catching scraps. You have this conversation as you walk down that hallway

towards the other room. We do. When we get to the middle of the hallway, between the two rooms, I'm going to stop where there should be a door leading into what we now understand is the sewing room. The sewing room. Or the fabric room, yeah. This is stupid.

I'm just going to try it. I knock three times where a door should be, and I'd say rumble clump. Why'd you say that? What the fuck? Are you okay? Is there you having a stroke? Nothing.

All right, I just wanted it. Yeah, well. Now we can go into the bathroom. We proceed. You make your way to the other end. You're going to the bathroom? I thought we were going. Isn't that what it's on the opposite side of the hallway?

There is a bathroom at the end of the hallway, but there's another room. Oh. I want to see what magical bathroom is. Oh, good. It's a magical toilet. You walk in, and just like all of the rooms, it smells like shit in here.

Like, you can tell no one's shit in here in a long time, but it smells like someone just had a fresh dump. The toilet turns to me as like, hey, fraud, nope, I close the door, and then I continue. You know when you suppose it's a junior ride? Feel me up, Fraud. Feel me up. I don't want to be chained up in milk frost.

Oh, yeah, then you can store the honor for all this. Door lock! We don't go to the bathroom. We don't go to the bathroom. It's my purpose. It's my purpose. This podcast is brought to you by our podcast. This podcast is brought to you by our page.

You can see the sweat drip from his brow. His skin is flushed.

You still hear those words ringing in your head. As you turn, nobody go in there. Why would you sing? What are the words with the toilet who said to him? I do them. That's a good floor I have. Nobody go in there.

We're dolls, we don't need to use the bathroom. Let's just walk away. And you turn towards the remaining room to be explored on this floor. Once again, it's a very similar style to the sewing room. It's the same wooden door with the stained glass window above it featuring the cauldron and the roses.

And you open it. the door and you step in and this is very clearly a doll room. You see another replica of this house sitting on a table. You see dolls lining the shelves of all varieties, not really toys of any sorts, just dolls everywhere. You can see that their clothes are all handmade. And I need, who's walking in first? I'll walk in first. Roll a perception chip for me, please. even money. Give me some 14. You look around and there are so many dolls piled here and there. It's hard to make out features of any, any individual one or to notice.

If there are any themes, this fabric room that you'd been in had been completely organized by type and colors. Probably the only room that you've seen in this entire place and all of Lomlarch proper that looked to be organized and well kept. In this room is exactly what you would have expected. Just dolls piled on top of dolls, stacked behind each other on shelves. There is a small daybed in the corner that is piled high with fabric dolls. You see wooden dolls and ceramic dolls, porcelain dolls. Dolls of all shapes and sizes. It appears to be a doll room. Look. You all right?

You're okay, getting everything good? Are you blowing up a sex doll? There is. Oh my God. No. Please stop. Stop enabling. Oh, it's got a beat on everything.

Oh, and glasses. What the fuck? Like that Derek fell over. This must be your most proud position is Derek sex dog. Get rid of the needle. Steal the Derek sex doll. Steal the Derek sex doll. Now we have to sell that.

I don't want to do our merch shop, right away. Oh. I'm going to go over to the small dollhouse that is a replica of the dollhouse that we're in. Is it one where I can unclasp one side and open it? It does appear to be so. I will unclasp it. Do I see a smaller doll room inside of the... You do?

Wow. Is there a smaller dollhouse inside of... There is. I will reach in with my hand. and I'll unclasp that tinier dollhouse. I'm going to open the face of it. You do.

Do I see a small doll room inside that? Is there a smaller house inside of that? It's really hard to see at this point, but you imagine that yes, there is. I'm going to reach in very delicately. Wow, there were tiny versions of us inside this dollhouse. There aren't.

Could you check to see if there's a layout of the rest of this dungeon frosting so we can get on with this highest. Oh, oh, oh. You can hear nothing as Grico shouts to you from the hallway. That idea occurs to me anyway. Oh, yeah. I will look at where the attic is.

I will look for a bedroom. I will look for a basement. You look upstairs, and the next floor is smaller than this one. It's clear that where this room is, the ceiling above you is actually the ceiling and the roof. There's no other floor above you. the stairwell out in the hallway goes up one more flight and only has three rooms in it. Sorry, it has four rooms in it, but two of them are significantly smaller.

There's one significantly large room, and you see that in it there is clearly a doll of Granny Nightshade, asleep on the bed. There is another treadle sewing machine in there. The room does not look at all like the room that you had walked into to get to this. place. It is an idealized room. It is, you see a soft plush chair where she can read and think, where she has a pile of hand sewing projects sitting next to it. The two other rooms you see are completely different. One of them is next to the fourth room. It is the smallest of them and it is filled with moss and lily pads. You see that there is a large lily pad in the corner with a few plush pillows around it. This is a

clearly a room, and you see a small miniature of what is very clearly Bavlorn a blight straw asleep on the lily pad. Next to it is an adjoining washroom, but there is no horrifying toilet abomination to scream at you to sit on its face, but instead there is a large bath. I don't look at the bathroom room. To be. In the dollhouse.

I glance over and the tiny toilet's like, mm. And the last room, the medium-sized room, it's the medium-sized room, the large room, and then Granny Nightshade's room, and then Bavillorna's room. The one on the end, the medium-sized room is quite beautiful, and the bed in the middle of the room has what almost looks like theater curtains around it. It's a four-poster bed. You see that there is a makeshift marionette stage where there are rocogo-style marionettes already set up there.

You see an organ up against the wall. You see sheets of music and scripts lying about the place. And laying in the bed is very clearly an Endelind ball. And you're able to see her for the first time. She's significantly taller than the others. The dress that she is wearing is tight fitting to the top of her body and then flows out from her hips in almost like a cage. And you can see that there is a marionette stage built into the very front of this dress.

Little tiny dolls attached there on strings. Her arms are long and spindly. Her fingers also long and spindly. Her neck seems elongated more so than the others. almost spider-like in nature. Her lips are pursed, but she is ethereally beautiful in a way the others are not. Long, dark hair, cascades down around her

and flows out over the bedding as she lays there in peace. And is anyone else in the room with me? Grico apparently followed you in. We would have followed you in. We were not going to say it's in the hall. I'm looking at this, assuming that it's a one-to-one identical. copy of this dollhouse and I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. Rainy Nightshed should be right here in this room.

The other two seem to be representations of her sisters. I can't imagine they'd be in their respective rooms, but she's themed two other bedrooms, it seems, or at least rooms to her sisters. Perhaps when they arrive as guests, very curious. What in the ham?

Wait, so this room wearing presently? is where she sleeps in that version of the house? No, this is all upstairs. There's another flight of stairs. Once we get upstairs, we'll be able to go to- Oh, when you said this room, you meant this room. Oh, the one is pointing at. Not this room, not this room, that room.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So she's got weird guest rooms for her sisters that she hates. Hmm. If I'm understanding directly. Mm-hmm. Sounds like four rooms.

Oh, so we should just be done. Let's check out the gas rooms, steal what we can, and then we'll go deal with the scaremap. I mean, if she's got one for each sister, she's gotta have one for Zabalna. We gotta check Zabella's room, see if there's any clues. Is there Zabalna room? Did I miss it?

You don't see one in the dollhouse. The fourth room is a washroom. It's a washroom that's attached to Bavlorn's room. As you remember, she has to, her lornalings have to bathe her, or her skin gets cracky. And so it's very clearly a big, Evening room for Bavlona.

I propose that we avoid the other rooms and go directly to Granny Nightshay. That's our purpose here. I can't imagine us finding anything of value in the other room. Maybe we can find a hammer to smash our little freaks if we see him at the Bavlona's room. Do we know, are we all in agreement on what we're going to do when we get to a room? Yes. Kramer's going to improvise. We got to decide what the first thing she's going to see is when she wakes up.

We gotta decide that. I think we stick with Toebeck. So Tormack, we'll go in. Torbek will find where the moths are. Maybe it'll stomp all over and get them out of the way and then just sit there and wait. Yeah. And then we'll all turn back to normal.

You're going to see what it's long to feel real short and small. We'll call you tiny and we'll drag the steps schools around for you. You do have to understand that if we do this plan, then we risk you remaining a doll for some time until we find another toy maker of Granny Nightshade's skill and ability. Torbeck thinks it's probably for the best, but he told Gideon earlier that he can't get the thread. Dorebeck tried to give Gideon the thread, but Dorebeck can't. Oh, no.

That's the only hits, but it might be a good thing because then she can't take it back. It's safe. That's a good point. And Torbeck won't become a battery. and the other one, it's fine. Well, maybe if you're the first thing she sees, but the way we frame up the deal here is that

she turns back every one of our party that she turned into a toy, regardless of whether or not she remembers, you shall have to turn you back. It's just the way of magic. Exactly. My plan. That's right. We can word it in a way,

but hopefully it includes you, even if she doesn't know you to stand in my fucking match. I don't know you were so savvy again. You're in Krammesee? I don't know how you're such in Krammesee? My first couple of ideas were unicorn and then rocking horse. I got Kremi. Krami's clearly rubbing off.

This is terrific. You know, the Derek dog. And then, uh, yeah. Torbeck trust Mr. Gramey. So do I. I'll trust you to improvise. You got us out of old Bavlona's gross, stinky hut. I think we just go straight there.

There's no reason for us to keep snooping around, right? if we know exactly where she's sleeping. Let's go. That's my thought exactly. Okay. We know what we have to do. We need to steal. Thorpecke, you'll go inside first,

and endeavor to be the first thing that Granny Night Shade sees. Should we keep an eye off of pincushion once from inside? Maybe while you're in there, you just take a quick look. Roll a perception check. I start to look around as well.

Pincush is probably here. Oh, I didn't think of them about. Pretty good. Well, Frost is also conceiving, right? I've already had Frost. You know. Pretty bad. Twist.

Twist. Twit- Twisting. Yeah. A lot better. E-T. Nice. You speak out and say, we should keep an eye out for pincushion, and then you think to yourself,

you are in a room of dolls. We're better placed to keep your loyal pincushion doll than in a room like this. Wait. And you begin to look around. Think of a grand. You begin to move dolls this way and that, and you remember she was fabric-like.

It seems like most of the fabric dolls are on this daybed. You make your way over to them and buried beneath them, you clearly find pin cushion. Her heart pin removed. Oh my gosh. Pincushion. You okay? You pick her up, her body flops this way and now.

Is she dead or something? You think maybe if we put the needle in her heart, like for the time being, like that'll kind of substitute a heart pin? Or you think the heart pin only work? I mean, this is maybe magical silver pen. Oh, maybe they're like super up and like make her a real girl, or something like that. Oh, but then we had to give it to the King of Heart.

She's like, oh, well, sorry, Pinker, it's time to die. No, no, no, we'll find a replacement. Oh, okay, okay. You know, we do a heart swap. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Try a silver pin. You try.

You place, you can see the small hole where the heart pin had been, and you place the silver pin into it, and you wait, and nothing happens. I missed it. And then, as you go, to pull the pin out. Please stop doing that.

You watch as her head flops from one side to the next, and then slowly she picks it up on her own as she looks out at all of you and. Gosh, you found it, my heart pin. That's not my heart pin. No, and we're gonna need that back too. I don't get too excited. You came.

You came to me. Rescue me. We're there. Yes. I can't believe it. We really are friends. You don't know where your actual pen is, do you? I'm sure Bavlona has it.

Oh. We're gonna take care of it. Don't worry, we'll get it back along with everything else Bavona has. I'm not Bavala. Wait, Bavala or Scappar. Oh, scabbat, I'm sorry. All over the next.

I just woke up from a horrible, horrible, heartless sleep. Were you dreaming? No. Is it just the last thing you remember was? Frosty, why would you ask that? Do dolls? Look out three, four. What I remember is being thrown into her filthy sack.

With those two, with the mushroom peddlers. Oh, where are they? She turned them into molds and put them in a glass case. Don't fucking kill the malls. Oh, good thing. You don't do that. That's very good. Out of curiosity, these other dolls,

If we were to push something into their hearts, would they become alive too? I don't believe so. Okay. This is just where she throws me when I'm in trouble. Oh, she took your heart in because you made her cross. I made her very angry. I helped you, and she knows that she could smell your scent on me.

And I'm not great at lying, so I told her the truth. Oh, but you're okay. You feel good? Well, I feel much better now. This feels powerful. I, my heart, well, I don't have a heart, I have a little sewn in heart button inside of me. That feels strong. I feel strong.

Still a little weak, but strong, it's strange. Well, do you want to come with us when we face Scarabatha? I could come if you want me to, but... Uh. Well, if I show up with you. friendly like she'll be furious maybe you should stay here and should we go to the gas rooms that she has is anything interesting in there or so we just go straight to a bit her sister's rooms yes oh I'm sure there are interesting things in there

but they're only used when her sisters are visiting and it always makes a cross she never goes in there otherwise so unless the sisters are hiding things in there which I don't know why they would hide things so close to her as they all hate each other, I'm pretty sure that just themed rooms that are designed to look interesting inside of a dollhouse. Oh, like. And that for the sake of brevity, it might make sense to just avoid them completely. Yeah, like a trashy bed and breakfast.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Whoa. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with that?

What? You're way out. Your nameing themes. D. Charming day corn, delicious food. What the hell's mess? Oh, the reasonable prize. A bloom and onion?

Motherfather, eats gardeners and thinks it above that Max Hague. He's delicious and a little, a bit of a real. Told back, we will discuss this later. We don't have time, but I can't believe you'd say that. I don't think that Ken Cushin should join us. I think that she's got the needle that we stole in her heart, and I presume that you don't want us to remove it. That would be unfortunate.

I would go back to being lifeless on that bed. It wouldn't hurt, but my point is that she should hide somewhere. I'm thinking the bad armor down in the... Well, can we sit a pin cushion and just like check the other rooms and if there's anything super cool, she can bring it back? Oh, yeah. Can you go look for super cool stuff? I'll look for super cool things,

but I can promise you I will not find anything at all. Not regular type cool. That's fine, as long as we're checking off. We will face. We'll deal with not Babylon. Scamination. Granny nice. Once you explore the rooms,

take all the super cool things and go to the hour more. For all. I hear. Why can I hear that? Why can I hear that? We get here through thresholds of the room.

Why can I hear that? He's got that toilet on the brain. All right. Well. Is there anything else I can do for you aside from 100% in this dungeon for you so you have peace of mind? Do you have any magical abilities or boons

that you can bestow on? I don't unfortunately. It's like a buffer. Where in the room exactly are the moths? What do you mean? On the wind or so. What do you mean what do I mean this doorback mean? The moths.

In the dollhouse? No, no, no. Aren't they on the sill above the dollhouse? Yes, they're outside in the actual bedroom. Dormick just has to get in line of sight. It's very simple geometry. Well, when you go into her room, her bed is right here against the wall.

There is a window right here. Okay. And it's one of those, I think they call them a hexagonal window. Sure. I like that very much. As she opens her eyes, she's staring outside of this hexagonal window.

Okay. Some call them a window. And, um. Same for the reason. Torbett, I don't think we can risk it, man. I think you just gotta jump on top. And she, because the moses so large, she sees them immediately.

All right. You gotta get rat in the face. You gotta get rat in her face. Got to get right in her face. I mean, right up in there. And you're very stealthy. You're just get in front of the window and you'll be all set.

Tormet will figure it out when we see what it looks like. Okay. All right. Well, we have a plan. Good luck. Good luck. Thank you, friends. It's been a place. pleasure pin cushion.

It's been a pleasure. Goodbye, you. Goodbye, you. God, that's attacking, sledding. It's this really, the Derek sex doll is wearing this really awful Tyrannosaurus sweater with like nostrils, yeah, the big nose. It's just, it's absolutely terrible. Absolutely terrible. Next to it is a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a big nose.

It is a four-gallon tub of loo. With us, is this made by Amazon? Oh, I clean that. What's that doll? Let's stop talking about the doll. We go upstairs. We go up the stairs. You make your way out and you head upstairs.

You immediately see this layout. Once again, the peeling wallpaper, the lightning bugs and the sconces, you immediately know which door is which and your focus is on the door right in front of you. This one does have another pocket door, but these doors are closed. You hear the sounds of the toilet on this floor

calling out, Frost, we know you're here. Quiet, this house is full of nightmares. You're in doing it all to yourself. That's, Frost. Storbitzade, five, porcelain. We're going to go on. We're going to set me on. Ew, what does that mean?

That sounds like a nightmare. But no, there is no bathroom like that on this floor. You just have horrific visual or anywhere. We open the door. Just a long door back goes in. And you, you slowly open the pocket doors. there is no sound on these hinges as it slowly opens. And you are immediately facing the bed.

But the bed itself is completely empty. Son of God, fuck. I knew it. And as you stop for a moment, there's maybe three inches of door open as you stare at this empty bed. You hear a soft rocking of a rocking chair in the corner. And you hear, It took you a lot less time to make it to my little house.

didn't it, my little beast. I shut the door up. She's away. Oh, fuck, oh. I think we take her chances with the bathroom. She addressed me. What to do, Miss lady. What to do, why to do.

Please take a seat. How do you do? You see that she is, she is sitting in what is clearly a plush rock chair. She has a bowl of fabric scraps and unfinished projects or a basket of them sitting next to her and you see clearly a rolled up what appears to be quilt and you can see pin cushion's heart pin is stuck deep into this quilt holding it together. As she's hand sewing some project that she's working on it looks like the outer fabric skin of a doll.

And she continues to rock as she mindlessly sews and looks back and forth between all of you. And you see that in front of her, she already has pulled up five stools for you to sit upon. Oh. Oh, so you've been expecting us. I'll sit down. Fellas, come on. I come in.

I look at the stools and I shudder, thinking of the bathroom and then I sit down. And I'm not the fucking bathroom. I'll end the stringing rap like that. And that is our, that's the ending session of this campaign. I'll never start back up ever again. Shit. Stop saying that.

Shit. I mean, shit, oh shit. I mean, I will join. And as she rocks, you notice that her, that the key in her mom the key in her back is spinning. There is a hole in the back of this rocking chair where the key is able to spin freely. And it is going about a medium speed.

It's not going too fast, but it's not going too slow. She seems to be even keel. Okay. Hmm. Mm. Mm. Tor makes it. Morning, evening.

So if you're expecting us, you probably know a bit about our predicament. The little pincushion told. me what you had been up to. She does not lie, that one. Stans to reason. Not very cash money of her, but I understand

involved. And I know an adventurer in my time. You cannot leave well enough alone. You would come to either rescue your friend or to attempt to do battle with me, which would not be wise. And you see

as she says this, the key in her back starts to slow a little bit. We've come to collect the reward. You see her key slow down and almost stop for a second before starting to speed up. And it begins to go faster and faster and faster. Her eyes get wider. What is this reward that you speak of? You're looking for Will of the Faywild of, ain't you?

The key continues to move faster. Do not play games with cranny. Well, we saw at least two Warnham posters, and we know where he is. In fact, I got his knife on me right now. Show me the knife. I can't. I'm unfortunately a toy made a bone, but if he were to transform us back, we could show you. You want to make a deal with Granny Nightshed, yes.

Well, I mean, the Warrant Post said, if we deal with Wittenden Post said, if we deal with I will. Then we get a couple of rewards, I think. And you each have a poster you would like to collect on, yes? Well, we'll just collect on the one or two. That's fine. They are bound by person. We'll discuss that internally if they don't mind. But I think our general office still stands.

That we're happy to bring them in and make a bit of a trade. Make a bit of a trade. What say you... I want him to be killed. We can kill him. That's just fine. Even better. I wanted him alive for a time.

All right. But my patience wears thin. I need to spend time with my projects. I want him to be killed. Nasty business killing kids. And I want the children returned to me, those that live. So, he's the deal. We know where he is and he ain't far. We know where the kids are and they aren't far either. So, you turn us back to how he was. I can show you the knife as proof.

And, uh, I can, we can show you the wanted posters as proofs. Uh, we'll kill Will. We'll, uh, bring him back here. show you that the deed's done. And then we'll need a little bit more time to round up the kids. Roll a persuasion check. Straight. Not deception? No, no, no persuasion.

No twists on this one. 15. Not bad. Not bad. You'll consider your proposal. She looks towards her bed and you see that there is, there's a nightstand there. and rolled up at the base of the nightstand

are what looked to be probably 15 to 20 scrolls. But each of you must make the deal. So those who do not have a poster for will will bind yourselves to one. You will kill him. And it's proof. I will let you take the little pincushion. When he is dead,

You will dip her heart pin in his blood, place it back into her chest, and she will return to me. I will know the deal is sealed. The children will be brought to me. I will fetch them. I will have my toy soldiers go to get the ones that remain. You will not pull the wool over my eyes and attempt to steal them. They belong to me. And for doing so, I will return you to your previous forms.

I will let this one leave with his witchlight intact and I will usher you out of my realm you will meddle in thither no longer you will not be a thorn in my side no longer

you will leave and you will not return you will not step foot In either again, do we have a deal? What do you know about the kids that have escaped? Do you know where they are? They wander the forest under the protection of something I'm not sure what. But my eyes cannot see it.

And you think your toy soldiers are going to do the job? I trust that without you meddlesome wretches, that my toy soldiers will do what they need to do. All right. Deal. Hold on. What if we fuck with Enderlin? Could we like sweeten the deal? Do we have to bring back to kids?

How about no kids? And we fuck with Enderlin? Because she seems kind of nasty, eh? Roll a persuasion check. Also, no twists. I'm gonna use this. Jingle, jangle, jangle. D20.

Come on. I don't think my persuasion is very good. I have my character, she pulled. Eleven. Okay. Key doesn't move faster, but her interest seems to be peaked. My sister is getting involved in things she should not. She has an opening night happening soon that I would not like to see proceed unencumbered.

So if you're unhindered, if you think you could get to yawn in time and sabotage, or play. We would gladly cumber and hinder. I would consider not. I would consider allowing you to take all that you find at Will's home base. Including the children's with us and the tree. You will touch none of those that remain in Lomelage, but those outside of its confines, I would consider them as part of your winnings.

I feel like that sounds amenables to us deal makers and we would gladly fuck with Enderlin and ruin her opening night. But you will not step foot in tither again. So you must take everything with you that you want before you leave. As long as there's some time to like collect our effects, eh, Mr. Crumman? All right. So the deal is we, uh, we uh, And this must be done tonight.

For if any word gets back to will, this plan will not work. I can have my vultures fly you there and give you a serum you can take when you arrive wherever you may need to go, which will return you to your forms. All right, well... And then you will leave. And any kid that remains in the other is yours. That the deal? That is the deal. In Lumenich.

Not all, further. There's Lulmurge. Just Luminich. It's the city. All right. Everyone at Little Oak, that's our winnings we do. Little Oak, you say. Oh.

Everything is our winnings. I think we can amend the deal. Now that I know where Will leaves. I believe he doesn't know what he says. He's had a long day. He's tired. Turns into a bit of a fucking idiot when it gets past 11 p.m. Roll a deception check at disadvantage.

22. She looks to you, Grico. Why do you? Why do you let this disgusting childlike freak speak to me? It knows not what it speaks in its puny adolescent brain. He is part of the reason we have our superpowers. If you want the opening show to be messed up, who better than someone as incompetent and projecting

about my height? I'm not actually as top advertising. Make it stop speaking. You are right, kitten. There is nothing more repulsive and destructive than a child. Well, it got one child, but. It matters not what kind of a child.

All right, so the deal is, after we're done, any children left in Loom Larch, we'll leave with you. You will leave my home tonight. I will fly you to this little oak where you will kill the child will of the Faywild. You will take pincushion with you. You will soak his blood in her heart pin, and send her back here she knows it. away, you will then take anything that you want from Little Oak, and you will immediately leave my realm, my domain. You will never see you again, but know that at any point you can tear the wanted poster

assigned to you and call in the favor that I grant you. No matter where you are, but you shall not. never come back to this place. You don't want like a souvenir from Endelins, like, you know, her tears from her play going real bad or you don't want any of that kind of stuff back? I will know

the moment that you have foiled her opening night. For I will be there watching with my sister Bevlornna. You see, she cracks her knuckles, her long, old her long fingers, her old joints

crack extra loud and echo in this space. As she looks out repulsively, you see her key slowly start to slow even more. And then at this time, our deal will be done. If you do not accomplish this task, you will return him to me, she looks to Torbeck, and he will be done. mine. Done. All right. Who has the wanted posters? Well, we'll have to be transformed back to take a look. Who would like to assign themselves to the ones you already have? What do we have again? I can peruse what you have. I'll pass on what we have.

The first poster in Loud promised the ability to bring back the dead. Mm, yes. And the second poster, I believe, uh, promised no sword could harm, some form of invulnerability, perhaps. I'm not sure the exact intent. Yes, no sword shall pierce your skin.

That's kind of nice. Is that a permanent effect? Like the ability to bring someone back from the dead? Yes. I think, like pretty straightforward. Does that mean like you turn us to stone or something? Yeah, it's probably stone. Yes, I.

It does what it says on the tin. Well, what about what it says on the poster? She looks at you. I'll stop talking, I'm sorry. You are very attractive and very stupid. Yeah, I've heard that before. Go on. I would make other deals with you.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean, It's all business here, okay, lady. We're just trying to... If we have a deal who needs to assign themselves to a poster. I'll take one of the new ones. I don't mind giving the good stuff to me mates. Out of character. So we currently have the invulnerability and the what?

And the raised... And the raised dead, yeah. But... And also out of character. The ones you have are this. Bring this wisp of a thief to me alive and unharmed, and I'll ensure that no sword can ever break your skin. The other one is,

deliver this rascal alive and unharmed. As payment, I offer you the power to bring the dead back to life. I'm assuming that the first one means if you tear it up, and we're understanding that she's amending the deal of the text of the book. Yes. And I would say you would imagine that once three other people go to pick them up, it's now going to say, kill Will of the Fay Wild and I offer you.

And so the posters that you have will change that wording as well. And in my mind, no sort will pierce you means resistance or immunity to piercing damage, mechanically, which is fucking crazy. Why don't we peruse? You might if we peruse the other posters? The first one you touch will bind itself to you.

Oh. We read them. They're scrolled up. They're not in one of those. So you don't get the ability to choose which one that you want. But whoever is going to do this, I'm going to have you roll. So Torbeck, can you roll a D8 for me if you get a four or five re-roll? Yeah, I'm gonna grab one because I will have

have bound themselves to me. One will bound to you and one will be bound to somebody else. Rorls fours and five? Yeah. Kind of my whole thing, yeah, so that's what I was thinking. Six. You, Torbeck, you pick one up and you unroll it. This rap Scallion vexes me.

Delivered, kill him, and I'll curse one creature who you name. Oh. I read it. I turn it over. I read it. That's not I recall. What does it say? Oh.

This isn't a moment to say your own name. I stick it in my pocket. And I think Gidge would have the other one. Oh, the sword that cuts. If I may grant my two posters to Gideon and the credit. I will allow it. I do that in my mind and then would you like to grab the next boser? Roll for me, if you roll four, five, or six, re-roll.

It's a D-8. Three. Bring me this imp dead, and I'll bury you up to your neck in silver. Oh. That's a monkey paw. What's all monkey bear? Eight. Special offer.

Kill this impetuous brat, and you can claim one item of your choice from my workshop. Wow. Whoa. Mm-hmm. Shut the fuck out. Oh, I take the toilet.

Absolution. I can think of many applications for this poster. Thank you, Granny Nancy. All of them end with me. And so with this, we have a verbal agreement, yes. We have a pact. We have a deal. We have a promise.

Yeah. Do you agree, Morning Frost? To these terms. I agree to these terms. Grego, do you agree to these terms? Yes. Torback, do you agree to these terms? Yes.

Yes. Cremie, do you agree to these terms? I do. Yes? Yes. Gideon, do you agree to these terms? Oh yeah. You are the only one I will be said to lose completely.

For I believe you will return to me. She winks at you. And the crusty eye boogers in her eye flake off. With that, you can make your way downstairs to my doll room. Pick up the little pincushion toy. She is on the little daybed there. She reaches down and pulls out the heart pen and hands it to you. Place this in her heart when you are ready.

It will animate her. Where is she again? In the doll room, on the day. Who did not? Please stop talking to me, little child. Do not put this in her heart until it is soaked in Will's blood. Understood. It will animate her.

She will make her way back here. Head downstairs and out of the house. Once you are upon the steps outside, my vulture will pick you up and take you to this little oak. From there, you will kill Will of the Fay Wild. And you will leave a thither and never return. Those are the terms of our deal. All right?

I have one amendment. Can the vulture... We have already made the pact. Well, I was going to... You mentioned the vulture as a new part, and I was going to ask if the vulture could pick us up outside. It's not the new part. Outside the house, the doll house.

No, no, no, outside of the entire complex, the facility here. No, the vulture will pick you up. from the stairs outside. He needs to take a look through the workshop to see what he gets if he wins. That's true. Roll a persuasion check. Can I twist this?

Let's see. What's see? Oh! Beautiful. Woo! What is that? Natural 20 is what it is. It's probably a 28 if I had you guess.

Exactly right. It's a 28. I will allow it. I will have a vulture wait for you outside the window of the workshop. Once you are ready to leave, you will make your way through the crack in the window there. And you will blow on this and she hands you a small whistle. This will call him and he will send you to Little Oak. But you only have 30 minutes.

So make it quick. Man, it quicks when I do best. You gonna turn us back? Ah, yes. And you see as she rummages through one of her pouches and she pulls out these little tiny vials. Clearly, I mean, you can see in them these small little mushrooms that are bouncing about

in the liquid as she hands one to each of you. Once you make your way to little oak, drink this, it will return you to your form. All right, thank you. Thank you. And do not forget, once you leave thither, you will disrupt opening night for me, yes? Of course.

Otherwise, your friend, he's mine. If there's anything we're good at, it's disrupting. She reaches out and she runs her long, arthritic hands down one of your canisters. We're gonna take you of it. He looks like he would like it. gonna disrupt it. Um, no, probably not. I mean, maybe, but probably not.

Maybe, probably not. Bada do. Now leave. Goodbye. I'll turn and all. Oh, very nice meeting you. Follow me. You, as you, uh, as you stand up and begin to walk away,

you hear the sounds of the rocking chair creek as she begins to rock. And you can hear the, um, click, click, click, click, click of the key in her back as it speeds up. She sounds, she seems very happy. As it gets to a speed that is far, faster than any you've ever heard. It seems that she is very pleased by this deal that you've made.

You quickly leave the room and the sounds of the rocking chair, the sounds of the clicking of her key, they all stop as you find yourselves back in this dollhouse. Pincush, we gotta go. She probably is downstairs in the armoire. Oh, go get her. I will. You quickly go grab a pincushion.

Come on pincushion. You make your way out of the dollhouse, and I'll say for the sake of brevity, you find yourselves. Pincushion is chatting with you. You explained her exactly what deal you've made and what your plans are. She seems concerned about the deals that you've made, but all the while she agrees that it might be the best choice that you had and that you honestly got out of the situation far better than she'd ever expected as you make your way towards the kitchen. and that's where you stop at first. And you see that the shackles are there,

but Mishka is not. She made it. All right. There's no blood where it looks like she saw her leg off. Oh my God! But it becomes clear to you why she was concerned, as the shackles clearly went around her wrists and not her ankles.

And so there would have been no reason to saw her own leg off. We have 30 minutes. Are there any other kids left in this place? Well, yes, they're all in the workshop or in the sewing room upstairs. The nature of the deals, any kid left in loomelurch stays, but any kid that's not, it's fair game. So if we can free them all right now, get the fuck out of here, and then we go kill Will, then... Do you think you can do that in 30 minutes? I think your best bet would be to free the children inside of the workshop, but...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this size, you're never going to be able to get them all the way upstairs. Well, no, I mean, do you? know how to free him? Can you go do that in 30 minutes? No. We're gonna have the Temple of Dune this real fast. Well, we also gotta get the portraits downstairs. Do we take our potions now?

I was wondering if maybe we take the potions now and then find our own way to little while. If you take the potions now, you immediately break the deal. Oh, was that, like a fifth of all the deal? Yeah, yeah, that was part of the deal. Part of the deal was that you would fly on the vulture. We can't, we're gonna fly. We gotta figure it, we gotta kill Will,

and then we'll figure it out. I mean, then we can't come back here. We gotta fucking leave. We get whisked away. She said we gotta take everything that we need. You did not think this deal through when you made it, did you? Can't think any deal through, all right?

Get off my back, Ben Cushing! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We've got 28 minutes and 33 seconds, for us. No, we had 28 minutes and 33 seconds when we got down those stairs. You have to remember, we're only three inches tall right now,

and this is a gigantic oak tree. Hmm. You have about 15 minutes left. All right, 15 minutes. Let's go free one of the kids. We'll give them a key. They can free the rest, and they can get the portrait for us. Yes, we'll free the children in the workshop,

and they can do the rest. Exactly right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. One of them looks really scrappy and has like their little cat's palm.

Let's go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And every, you all, you all hustle as you make your way towards the workshop. Pin cushion. Pin cushion climbs up her little ladder and she unlocks the door and you walk into the workshop and she immediately gasps. The workshop is completely empty.

There's not a single child in sight. Misha. How on earth did the children get out of her? Did the getaway game beat us to it? Were we actually doing our job and making a discreet distraction? Well Miska, know we need that. portrait, right? Maybe she thought to get it too.

Oh, she's a small kid. Let's go check it out. Oh, no, we were right. Oh, yeah. And you make your way through the workshop. Having a, being able to look through it all, Frost, your intelligence is incredible. You remember everything that's in here. And you imagine that you could ask for basically anything,

and if it makes sense that it was in there, that would probably work for the sake of brevity. I do that. And you, You, I'll take this. Well, I just have an identical memory. Yeah, there you go. And you make your way towards the window sill

where you all work together to climb up the window sill and just as Granny Nightshade said, there is a break in the window that you're able to climb through. And standing out on the sill, you blow into the whistle. We wanna check the portrait room first and see if the portrait's gone.

If the portrait of Bavallna was taken, by one of the children. That is on the other side of Lomarch. That's a good thing we gotta train. You know what, fine. You make your way over and you see that all the portraits are intact. They're all there. They're all there.

All the portraits are intact. All right, fuck it, who cares? And you realizing you don't have time to deal with this in this moment, but that you're clever. You'll find some way to fulfill the deal that you made with Bavorno. You make your way back to the workshop where you memorize everything in the workshop quickly. make your way out onto the sill and you're able to blow on the whistle and you watch as this giant stuffed vulture flies down from the top of loom lurch and with its talons outstretched,

it scoops all of you up and flies out into the sky, you realize it doesn't seem to know where it's going. So you start calling out commands, telling it to go left and to right, to go forward until you eventually find yourselves getting closer and closer to Little Oak. You see the movement of the top of the tree end that is Little Oak as it's moving through the forest itself. And something catches your eye. The leaves look darker, almost rotted in nature.

It doesn't look as full as it had before. You don't even need to roll a perception to see that something is clearly off about this tree. As you fly down and land on the ground, the vulture drops you and you all clatter and roll. You look out and you see that this place is corrupted and different. The tree itself, the bark, is almost a darkened, oily black as sap pours from the different knots and holes of the tree.

The tree house, that had been built into this is still there, but it's rotting away and is a termite eaten. You see that there are cages hanging all over the boughs of this tree and in them are children you recognize and children you don't. And at the very base of this tree, you see what looks like an incredibly large form to you,

but is very clearly the form of Will of the Faywild, is he's looking, his back is turned towards you as he's looking towards the tree himself. There is a large cauldron on what had been the campfire where all the children had sat around telling stories with you. But there's a large cauldron on top of it as he is as he is scooping this liquid out and into a large wooden goblet. Staring directly in front of him, you see an incredibly large cage

and inside of it are the children that you saw from the workshop. the little scamps that had been in there when you met pincushion. You see Mishka chained up to them. And you also see someone else that you recognize, that elderly woman that had supposed to be at Lume Lurch, she is, she looks emaciated and hurting as she is surrounded by these children clinging to the bars with them. It's very clear that she's been crying

as he walks over to all of them and begins to prick their fingers with a thorn. that he has in his hand and he drops their blood into the goblet and pours the liquid back into the cup and he begins to drink and as he does, you watch as the clothing on his body begins to rip and tear as he gets larger and larger.

His skin turning blue, his horns protruding from his head, his teeth getting larger as he lets out of his head. lets out a large howl. And where Will of the Faye Wild had been, there is now very clearly an Onee. Do I see Hootsey? You, oh, yes.

You do see that there is another cage at the base, and both the owl bears are inside of this cage. We've got to move right now. Fuck, give me my potion. Oh my God. As I do that though, I want to use my devourer ability before I transform back. I could. What I will say is you get one use of your abilities in this combat. So you don't have to use it right the second. Oh, all right. Yours isn't really

helpful. Yours was more meant for everything else. I mean, you could turn into a train if you want to do, but what I will tell you is it wouldn't be a giant train. It would be a little tiny toy train. Jump to do his mouth. However, what you will know, actually, I'll have your little. I'll have You roll for initiative before I tell you what happens there. I need everyone to roll for initiative. Whoa! Papa's coming, Ertie! Not great.

We came to slam potion and kill Ones, and we're all out of potion. Hold on, hold on. You may be an ony, but we're gonna make you say, oh no. You gave me hard time over multiplies earlier. I was just trying to channel fraud. Chianel Frows.

Will of the Faywild, you all down your potions as you look out at this horrific scene. You realize that these cages are not made of iron. They are made of twisting thorny vines, protruding from what had once been Little Oak. The face of this happy trient has been warped and twisted and is now staring out malevolently at you as in its bows, these chrient,

These children are suspended in cages. You see that it seems to notice you as the bark groans, almost in, it sounds almost like a scream as it calls out, as you all begin to shake and transform your toy-like body is completely shattering around you as you return to your full selves. And as this happens, Will spins around and turn,

towards you a smile on his face. I knew you would come. He licks his lips, release them. And as he says this, the tree releases the cages. They all clatter and you watch as they hit the ground that the damage to them does something to the magic where you had the magic that is infiltrating this place. You see that the potion that the potion

that he had been drinking is also being pumped into the tree itself and thus into these cages. And you watch as all of these children in their varying sizes, they're varied, there were dwarves and elves and gnomes and fay creatures, there were hootsie and juniper. All of them transform into one singular child. You cannot tell any difference between,

not an amalgamation of children, but they all look, They all look exactly the same. There is no way to tell the difference between any of them. As the cages clatter, all the children begin to run around and switch places. What had been Hootsie is now Hootsie,

but you can't tell Hootsie from one child's to another as they all look horrified. Stop! It yells out and they all freeze. And they look up towards it. You can see the magic shining in their eyes, as they all, their heads begin to bob this way or that, and they seem to be incomplete,

he seems to be in complete control of them. As this army of children stands behind him, he slowly moves forward towards you menacingly. The tree ahead of him, you see the bows thrashing this way and that, and I need 20 to 25s. 22. Nice. I should actually roll, that would be important. Okay, perfect.

Don't harm the duplicate child. I have no idea which one in Hootty or any of them. 15 to 20. 19. 19. 19 and then Torbeck and then Will of the Faywild. Do we think we could rip the wanted posters now? We think we have to kill him to the wanted posters. You imagine that you have to kill him to be able to utilize them.

Cremie Frost, what did you guys get? 12. Nine. You watch as this happens. I need, you guys want to get your minis and just put them somewhere in there? Are they on the shelf over there? I mean, wherever your minis are.

And then I need a large mini to account for the Onee. Why don't you grab Ogre McGilucati over there? The, who? One of the- Oh, that's perfect. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's huge. Is that huge? That's huge. Is that huge or large?

He's large. He's your bad. I mean, that's a good boy. I was thinking of one of the ogre-a-oh I made for the fight. Yeah, yeah, that's good. That's good, that's perfect. Yeah.

I'm ripped in blue. Oh, do we have minis? No, just pick, I think we use little tag. There are bottle caps up there too. You can also use those if that makes it easy. I love that we still don't have minis. Yeah, well. How's that possible?

This is our weekly campaign and we still have minnies. Oh, what happens with Frost? I mean, you would know this because you're care to send a will of the Faywild after more through with you, they're gonna be calling you won't of the Shadow film. Yeah! So you have, you have all of that?

Yep. Okay. And then I need you to place these behind Will of the Faywild. Derek, okay. Would you be in a line kind of, like, you know? I think. You would be first, right?

Shoulder to shoulder. As Will would have been walking towards us in any form, I would have been slowly walking towards him. Holy moly. Oh my God. I got a page of that chuckles. Oh, my child, Fulgers! I love clowns.

Full metal jacket. Is that good, Nikki? You can't really see because of the camera, but they should be flipped the other way. Oh. But yeah, they would be like, not in a line behind him, but just kind of like clustered behind them. Yeah, bunched up behind him.

Do they have to exist in specific squids? Nope. No, no, no, no. Perfect. Gideon, as he calls us out and you watch, as all of these children net together behind him, you feel the rage course through your body, and you know what you are here to do as you charge forward.

You dumb, big blue son of a bitch child stealing crazy demon-orny thing. Give us hootzy back and all those other kids. kids too I run up and I will flame yo hopman and I'm funny and and I will roll to attack can I twist that yeah yeah yeah one one two oh oh let's go natural 20 one till 20 let's the first hit and then 16 for the second 16 is its AC. Oh, nice, okay, okay.

I run up and ignite into flame, and you'll hear the steam exploding off the manacles, and I'll go bright, fiery red as I lunge forward and punch him. I don't know, how big is he? He's incredibly, I would say he's a little bit bigger than you are. How big is an only? He'd be larger. Yeah, he'd be like, oh, like,

he'd be like, like, yeah, yeah. I had to think about, well, see, I didn't want to make another guard issue and like make him 15 feet. Yeah, thanks studio killers. Thanks, I'm gonna 50 feet tall like a guard. Thank you.

Yeah, no, he's probably closer, he's probably closer to 10 feet. All run up and then kind of like, like bend down for a moment and swing forward with a punch at his, at his neck. and do 22 points of damage. Do 22 points of damage. You punch into him.

He tightens the muscles of his stomach, and it feels like you're punching into stone as your fist slammed into him. He doesn't even flinch at the, as you damage him. But the hits seem to take, and that's your entire turn. two punches. You punch into him, and as this happens, the tree around you begins to, the bows begin to move. The same thorny bark-like branches seem to be taking over the entirety of Little Oak.

As it begins to shake its bow. I need all of you to roll a dexterity saving throw for me, please. Okay, pass. You don't even know what the DC is. 25, 23, 18. Can I twist? Are we twisted? Yeah, for all of this stuff you can twist. I'll take one twist.

What did you get, Mike? 18. Okay. There is, 21. You all, you all watch this happen as a hail of thorns begins to pelt down at you as the branches begin to lash out. you were able to roll out of the way, preventing yourself from taking a significant amount

of damage and being knocked prone, but you are going to take half of this. You're gonna take half of 13 piercing damage, and you are not knocked prone. So six. Yeah. If we pass, we take six? You take half, yeah, six.

It is then Grico's turn. I'm going to lunge four and say, Nobody touch all the kids, one of them is Hootsie, and I guess the rest are also children. And I'll go bo, bo, bo, bo, bo, bo, bo, bo, bo, as a giant froggy myth spirit will appear above me and will lash out twice with a tongue. As I do my, as I do my lash.

Oh, that's get the shit out of me. I kicked my water. What happened? I gave my water bottle. I thought I was like, oh, something's comes crashing down. Shit out of me. So make sure that it's not.

We can't have a spell. You feeling all right? Yeah. Did it spill everywhere? Because there are power cables down there. No. Okay. Everything's dry.

Everything's fine. I'm going to just make cast a guiding bolt and my story form. So as my archer, I'm going to make a spell attack straight. Can I twist once? Yeah. Yeah, of course. That is an 18, that hits.

Yep. So it's gonna deal 10 points of radiant damage. And then guiding bolts, I'm gonna roll, that'll be a 22 to hit. That hits. And then. You're also at advantage. I realize.

I crit him and I have Crusher. Okay, I'm rolled, that was for that. Everyone is at a hit. Crusher? Oh shit. I don't even know her. That's insane. You don't have to.

That'll... Just a 24 head. Yes. His AC is 16. 16 is the AC. Okay. 66. One, two, three, four, five.

Six. Oh, God, that's brutal. Three, five, seven. Seven, eleven points of radius. Oh, my Lord. That's fine. That is mathematically... You, um...

Your froggymuth appears, and Will doesn't seem at all bothered by this as these attacks are let loose on him. His eyes are glowing yellow as he is staring down at all of you, and he looks hungry and angry, not at all like the scampy child that you had met. This was clearly his plan all along to use you to get into loom lurch and be. able to free all of these children. And you played right into his hands as he looks around at you happily, a smile huge on his face as

he is going to as he is going to start to stomp down on the ground. All of the children behind him in there, Strange Hayes begin to stomp too, is they all begin to chant gangarang. And I need you all to roll a wisdom

saving throw at us. Oh. Oh, wisdom saving throw. I'm okay at this. I'm okay at this. A wisdom saving furry say? Mm-hmm. Is this too?

That's what you call the episode, right, Rich? Ganga-Rang. I thought we were gonna call this. Getaway Ganga-Ring. It is. I think we were gonna call this kill Will. That's really good.

The layer action, I called it Womping Will-O, because it's the tree. I don't know if it's worth twisting. I fail. I'd like to twist, twist. You should find it. I will twist as well, because I have twists. We have a twist.

It's a hiatus. So everyone twist. That's good. That's like a twist. I also have a sentence. This is the season finale. It's the best I'm gonna do. I only have a plus two.

I got a 20. 19. Mathematically, I'm not gonna get higher. What did you get Cremie? 20, uh, three. You all feel yourselves this magic coming over you as you hear the chanting. It's making you angry.

It's making you frustrated. You're feeling charmed as you look towards each other and you, for a split second, feel the need to lash out and hurt your companions. For a moment, Gideon, you looked at Cremie and Cremi is no longer your ally. He is your enemy, but you are able to steal yourself and shake it off.

And none of you seem to be affected by what clearly would have been each of you making attack on your ally. Oh, that's crazy. Torbeck. Does that count as him making, having taken a turn in combat? It is a legendary action. He hasn't taken a turn yet.

He hasn't taken his official turn yet. So as this is all happening, you'll kind of see Torbeck like hunch over, and the candor still will start to bubble and lights. Like the tubes will light up as you can start to see the witch lights start to flow. And Torb will start to breathe heavier and a little bit more quickly as his arms. as his arms and legs kind of get a little bit longer, he gets a little thinner and more gaunt, as I will consume a mutagen and add three to my dexterity. Oh.

And then I'll use my movement with this 30, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. With my 10 foot reach, I will make two attacks with my multi-attack. They're both at advantage. Yep. Both at advantage. Until... 16 plus 9 is 25 to hit. That hit. First attack. Ooh. Only a 15 on the second attack.

That means? Twist, twist, twist, twist. Yeah, plus nine. Yeah, plus two. That's a 22 to hit. Oh, yeah, we're good. 22 to hit. So both will hit, which means it's gonna.

You don't want a fish for a crit? I knew if I said crit, he'd roll. Okay. Both attacks will hit. It's gonna be 1D8 plus a 2D6 for the surprised round plus the 1D6 from the second attack. 10, 19 plus 12 is. is 31 points of damage over two attacks.

31? Yeah, over two attacks. Slash at him with my claws. Knife-like fingernails. Yeah, okay, I'm sorry. I'm just bad at math really is what this boils down to. You lash out at him, tearing into his flesh. He actually seems surprised by the amount of damage

that you do. And for a moment, you see a flash. of fear and concern in his face. He is still very clearly regenerating and getting, coming into his new form, whatever ritual he had been doing before you arrived, whatever concoction he had consumed when you got here, hasn't fully taken effected.

He is clearly feeling weakened from this, and that amount of damage surprises him. Yet he looks down, he still smiles at you. It is his turn. I'm now disadvantage on wisdom saving throws as well. He's immediately in front of you and he is going to make all three of his attacks against you. No. Against whom?

Torbeck. My AC is 18. Okay. I'm gonna use one dread to re-roll my failure. And that's a natural 20. Oh. That's what dreads do. That's what dreads do. So that is one of his claw attacks.

I will let you. The first one was a two, that turned into natural 20. That's one of his claw attack. So one claw will crit, the other is normal, and his glave attack is also normal. Yes? I would like to invoke heat gauge two and redirect his critical attack.

To himself. You can do that? It says I can redirect. What's what? Let's read it. Once we're a creature you see within 30 feet of use to buy an attack roll. You can't... All right.

All right. All out. You'll allow it, I'll be in a guess. Oh, yeah, yeah. Don't do that. No. You can take it to the face. Don't do it. Don't do it.

It's fine. I get hit points of spare. I'm Torbeck. All out. What are the odds that it's hootsie? We should like, is that a D-20? No, no, no, no. No.

No. Or 13. 19 or 19 or 15. Oh, all the mid. So one out of 19. Man. So almost the D-20. Oh, natural 20.

It definitely would have been Hootsie. No. No, one is 20. One is Hootsey. I said it definitely wouldn't have been Hootsie. Okay. 20 would have been the shudiest kid. No, the old lady is.

You're kind of lucky that it was the claw, not the way. Oh, yeah. The Blade would have fucked my shit up, fam. Oh, man. 39 points of damage as he slashes into you with claw, claw, and glave. I mean, to be fair, that was a crit. There's a crit in there.

Blood explodes everywhere. I'll ever get you. All over will. His face is splattered in blood and he just smiles through it as he relishes in the pain that he does to you. Frost. I would like to use my

I would like to use my feline agility to double my speed seeing the amount of damage that's happening in Torbeck and the amount of risk that the children group represents. I know I need to get this only away from everyone as quickly as possible. So I am going to go

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45. We're going to get over here. And I am going to, oh, my, 50, push. And I am going to create an intense pressure just behind him, a vacuum with my mind, pushing away the particles so that they might collapse and implode and push him and pull him back,

doing a tremendous amount of damage, presuming that he doesn't succeed on a Constitution saving throw, which he has to make a disadvantage because I'm spending the beans about it. Oh, no. Oh, hell yeah. source from one. What kind of?

A constitution saving throw. He is going to use a legendary resistance. Oh, okay. So he still takes half. Okay. That's going to be four. That's going to be 15 and then two more. I'll roll these.

15, 19, 21. But he... He does not move, but I'm going to use my bonus action to try to push him, so he needs to make a strength saving throw. DC-16. Regular or at a advantage? Yeah, yeah, he blows it out of the water. Of course he does.

Okay, he doesn't move, but he takes half of the damage that I said. And you can see that it explodes this massive, get away from the children. Make sure that they don't get hurt. He is going to look towards you as you have just done. on this and he reaches he reaches out his hand towards you and he says like them I need you make a wisdom saving throw before me please mm-hmm I think I'll twist that season finale folks mm-hmm let's do one more one more

one more see how the other side thralls now you're right you're at 13 oh no okay the wisdom saving throw. I thought I had changed this to intelligence, but I didn't. You watch as Frost's body begins to change, and Frost, your intelligence goes down to four. You become childlike in nature, and you look exactly like one of the children

that's standing behind him. And Cremie, it's your turn. I will walk up, and is this a free action? Or would this cause an action? It is an action. Okay. Oh, one, two, three and a half.

Dread in the future of mine's a terrible thing, well, you better keep an eye over your shoulder and I'm going to all of a sudden the shadows that we're all casting will move and they'll all of a sudden slither towards me, except his. As I use my form of dread and I become a silhouette with the neon,

glyphs, but his shadow will start to twist and turn and separate from him, turning into almost a creature of shadow as I cast shadow spawn and use form of dread as my action and the other action. Oh, yeah. And it will be a, let me just make sure I know what this is. I'm summoning a shadow of wrath or rage, fury. And so, so, so. So first, I need to go. And I'm going to summon it right here. So his shadow is now manifest there. And then form of red.

I gain 10p HP. Boom. Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. I get nine. Attempt HP. And then if I hit a creature, I haven't hit a creature yet. I'm new to the frightened condition. I use that.

And then this shadow will imitate that scream that he just made, but in this horrific, almost ghastly wail. As everyone within 30 feet of the shadow needs to make a wisdom saving pro. Including me? I'll be doing it. And that would include all of the children? All the children.

This is a charm of the income. No, it's fair. I'm using a twist. That'll be a twilight. Oh, no, twelf. Apologes, what's the throw? Wisdom. Wisdom.

Shit, 16. And he also has to do the same thing? Yes. Yeah. I'm gonna use a dread to re-roll. Okay, cool. What's the DC? The DC is, what's my DC?

16. I meet it. He passes, the children do not. You're Dexing? Yeah. Just roll a twist. You're not within 30 feet, are you? One, two, yeah, you are.

For sure? We have a virileans, twist, and this is the season finale. You gotta use them. I am intentionally trying to deplete your twists. One more. No, you don't want to roll both. You just roll an additional one. Yeah.

Wait, we know. One more. I don't have very high plus. Oh, still, let's try it. One more. There you go. Natural 20, folks. That's what I got.

Nice. And he's like, God, they could have been on damage. That's what I would be thinking. So anyone that failed is afraid of the creature, a frightened creature, it can repeat the saving through the end of each of its turns, and then the effect on itself on a success. If you fail, do you have to use your movement and move away from?

Is that out of your words? No, you just can't move closer. So my intention is that none of these things are afraid? How would you rule a charmed creature being feared? I would say if you believe that if it's charmed, if they still have the ability to experience fear, they may be following the orders of the someone who's charmed, depends on the charm.

But if it's a classic charm, it's basically you are, I think technically your advantage that persuasion, you are more susceptible to them, but it doesn't, unless it's a mindless automaton thing that can have no for you. It's more of a mindless automaton sort of. It's more like a control than it is a charm. I would say that if there's still fear in the child,

no, but if it's basically, if you're, if they're basically meat puppets that follow his commands, then they wouldn't be afraid, but basically it would be up to you. Thank you, thank you. Um. Cremies turn. It is his turn again. He is going to, so he's done that once and that once.

He is going to use another legendary action, start stomping his feet one more time as all of the children begin to chant in a very monotone voice, gang-a-rang! And you are all need to make a wisdom saving throw. This one, I'll roll straight. Disavance and advantage. advantage.

Yeah. I pass. I'll do one. 16. 18. Okay. He's got some left. I got some left.

17. Yeah. 17. Okay. 23. 16. What did you get crummy? 20.

Once again, you all feel that that want for a moment to attack each other, but you are able to shake it off. He looks frustrated at this. Gideon, it's your turn. Are you okay, man? You hear Trevor breathing heavily, but he doesn't respond. 16 to hit and a 20 to hit.

16 is the 8 stands. Oh, you actually have it? Yeah, do have actually. Oh shit. What level are we? Five? Yeah, fine. I don't know if the fighters got to happen. That's pretty cool.

Yeah? All right, I don't want action search. Wait, is that just... All right up. Oh, no, actually. Okay. Two, so that's... So I'll just lean in and just start jabbing into this creature,

and then I will activate this time, for real this time. Heat gauge, heat gauge one on the manacles. You'll hear ring out through the forest of kids. As the manacles will erupt to a flaming light. and start to whirl and snake around him, and he'll have to make a DC-15 strength-saving throw. Easy. But also take 33 damage.

I'm gonna use a dread. Okay, he will pass. All right, right. Just tell me the full damage for everything in one lump sum. And this is fire damage, if that's relevant at all. 43 total damage. Nice. 10 of it would be fire. He's not grappled by chains,

and but maybe he's about to be grappled by big old bear arms. I'd like to use my bonus action to attempt to grapple. It's not a bonus action to activate your manacles. So there's no action. Oh, okay. The action search is no action and the manacles are no action. Unless man. That's correct, right?

Yeah, no action. Yeah. Okay. What you're charging is basically one of your ruin uses. I feel you, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I feel you, I believe you. And I would like to attempt to grapple him.

Okay, go for it. Okay, which I think is an athletics contest. Strong. Strong. How we think so? They're ogre. 24. Pretty good.

I am gonna use a dread. Oh, yeah. On there, yeah. I'm gonna use it on me because my role was not as great I would like it to be. Oh, you're pretty strong. Gideon's are pretty strong. 24, he said?

24. Yeah, yeah, no, I got a 21. Oh, trying to think. You got that game. We didn't slam! It's like some crato shit. Wrap him on the chain. Yeah, exactly, some crato shit.

Now, you reach out, you wrap him in the chains and you pull him close to you. His body is like stone against yours. He feels cold, whereas you feel like a burning, piece of coal. And you hold him against you, you hear a soft chuckle in the back of his throat. As the tree above you begins to shake

much more violently this time, you can see that even more of these thorny vines have grown on this thing. The face of this trient looks even more malevolent as it stares out at you. I need Joel to roll a dexterity saving throw. And because you have the only grappled, I will say you'll roll at disadvantage. 19.

I think I'm on double grapple. Natural 20. Nice. 25 total. Shit. Do you think 14's enough? Probably not. Not a chance.

Unlike. I'm twisting. One more twist. One more twist. Thanks folks. Natural 20. You gotta give it up. Thank you Milo for the

Natural 20 I just gone. The nitral one twist. The nitro one twist. Yeah. Yeah, take twice. Toastake, twist. What is a deck save? Mm-hmm?

Or two? You immediately, so you will take full damage. Those of you that passed will take half. Why am I grabbing that one? 19 points of damage to those that passed half. If you failed, and if you failed, you fall prone. You feel yourself fall over. I will say you take the only with you.

Oh, shit. You feel his weight on top of you, and he seems incredibly frustrated. But there is a malicious jubilant to the way that he laughs. Is he prone currently? He is prone currently. That was his lair action, or that was the lair action.

You can't handle the heat get out of my fucking way. Grico. Does it sound like the children are following his verbal commands? Um, they, it's not necessarily verbal. Um, he does seem to be shouting commands at them. And so, I would say from what you can deduce, you've only heard him call out things. So sure. That's what you would know.

I will look at him and I will say, I'm Grick-O Grimgrin. I am the wooden wonder. And all I have to say to you is, okay. and he will open his mouth and will say, Children, I forget what his voice says. That's fine, that's good. Go run away to safety.

With that, yeah, I would say they all immediately move their movement. They have 20 feet of movement, so you can move them all 20 feet. There's not even a saving throw, so he can't even resist it as I use my special ability. Yep. And then after he says that, it's like, I am and will of the Feywild. I'm won of the shadow fell, as I will babble through his mouth to effectively silence him

in case he has any spells that have verbal components. Okay. As I am going to just keep. It's like Anchorman. Don't you run away. Okay. And did I write? And did I write?

on that you have to be able to see them. A creature with in range. That's it. Okay. Is that your turn? That's your entire turn? Oh, and then I'll blast him with my, it'll be disadvantaged because he's, what you call it? I'm blasted with my bonus action.

Actually, no. With a bonus action, I'm going to heal Torbeck with a healing word. And I will say, and he will, and he will, I was like, Hey, Torbeck, look, it's actually me, Grickow. Even though it sounds like it's, to be wild.

As I'm gonna keep babbling, I'm gonna heal, I'll roll that once I move. Okay, you do that. There is a look of panic in his face for a second. As he's babbling these things and he seems confused as to why he can't control his own voice. He clutches at his throat for a minute as he looks angrily out at you,

but he does not need words to do what he does next. As where there had been an ONI in your, your arms, he transforms into that of a small child, wiggles out of your arms quickly, and rushes into the throng. I need you to add this one to the children and mix them all up. Oh.

Yeah, they don't all have to be like a perfect, like, cute. We know roughly where they are. Yeah, that's. Healed for 13. That's very important, thank you. You heal for 13. Sorry, I probably should have the camera. Second level, second level,

Second level healing ward. Oh, he's gone? He's gone. He turned into a kid and you mingled in with the- I'm sorry, I was really, no, that's okay, that's okay. That's okay. No, you, so what happened is he used his,

yeah, his final legendary action for that round to be able to transform into a child that looks exactly like the rest, wiggled out of his arms. I can't remember what your name is, Mace, and rejoined the children. He has his normal speed, and he was able to do that. I have no idea.

Dungeon Mistress. If I'm able to be, hey, I'm still in your head. Would he be one of the children over their mouth and talk? So you, that will happen. So how this was going to work is that you would have been at disadvantage minus six to be able to do determined who he was. You will now not be minus

and you will be a straight role to determine where he is. Okay. I'm talking. I'm talking right. I'm willing to say one. I'm an annoying piece of shit. Fuck you.

Gangarin, ging, gingering, gong, gangarin, gong, gongerang, gong, gong, gong, gong, but it will still be difficult to determine where he is because even there are so many of these children milling about. They're now running everywhere as well. So it would be easy to miss even just the movement of lips. It sounds like they are the voice is coming from all of them. I'm wheel of the fair world.

I'm annoyed. I'm willing to pay world. And that was, yeah, his glare action tore back. Oh, this is a nightmare. Um, well. One moment, one moment. One second, I'm sorry. This, I'm just trying to find a range on this.

Effects the Tartu, she's an amplifier curse. Amplified curse. Doesn't have a range. Doesn't say that it's melee. Uh, uh, uh, All right, well, regardless, I'm in deep shit here. So what do I have to roll to try to find which one's the real one?

I'm just not rolling a disadvantage. It's a perception check. So anytime you want to attempt to attack him, you will roll at, you will just roll straight to see if you attack the actual will. If you choose to attack, it's going to attack regardless of whether you hit Will or not. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is it just a perception? What kind of check is it? It's just a straight roll. It's just a straight roll. and I have a DC set for it. Torbeck. Torbeck would try. Torbeck is witchlighted to hell.

He would give it a shot. He's breathing. So first off, no, I lied. I can't do that. I fell unconscious. And you brought me back. So I have used to have my moving to stand up. Oh, shit.

You did exact same. I had nine health left and half was nine. Damn. So I actually can't get to them. So that's kind of the end of my turn. What's your speed? 30. I'm gonna favor.

Hi, everybody. Oh, fuck. You can dash. You could hide. It didn't make it worked. You could hide. Like, as an action.

If there's stuff for me to hide around here, I mean, you know, slap frost. Get them out of kid for him. I don't know if I would do that either. That's my turn. Okay. I can't, I can't get close enough. It is Will's turn, and enough.

things seems to happen. I'm willing to farewell. I can't cast any spells because I'm talking right now for 10 whole minutes. Frost, it's your turn. I will, now that I am a very simple. Oh yes, you make another wisdom saving throw to see if you return to your form.

Oh, at the start of my turn. Fantastic. Yeah, because that's what you do, right? Is it the start of your turn? So that's why I started doing. I think I should twist. You should twist. Mm-hmm.

I feel strongly that I should twist. There's two more. I feel strong. I suppose. I need to get, where's my other D20? It's in here. I maybe. One more twist.

One more twist. No, I mean. One more twist. It's fate. Because you haven't rolled all your dice. It's a fake. Roll away from yourself. Nope. Yeah, no.

You lose your turn as you remain a mindless trial. God. How does using this action work? You would be able to use it if you weren't a mindless child. I will reach into my pocket. You have no pockets. Oh no, you do have pockets. I have my pouch, and I will reach in,

I will pull out a bottle of string, and I'll... You should roll away from yourself towards Mace next time. Actually, one, you should use one more twist, and roll towards Mace away from yourself as far as possible. Mikey firmly believes that this is the way. You might as well just show on. Give it one more shot. One more twist.

Luckily the Irish. Let me get one more shot. As far away from you as possible, a close to Mace as possible. Yeah. Bring it on home. It bounced towards you. It wasn't meant to be. It bounced towards you.

It did not bounce. No, no. It's fine. It's fine. Inco Mali just threw a twist. Okay, yeah. Oh. This is why we have twists.

See the finale towards Mace. Let me think you could runaway. What is that? That's a natural 20. Oh! They didn't bounce towards you. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about.

Come out. Roll towards it, not that. You have a little rules, Derek. I just play the game. Let's go. I don't write the rules there. It used to be a T-shirt. That's fucking amazing.

Okay, so I guess I reach into my hand and I pull out a ball of string and then I'm like, and you have your turn. Oh my gosh. What happened to me? A flash of- With the wrinkles on a brain. A flash of ignorance, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Fousty. Frosty, I'm Willow Fee Wild. I'm in the, I'm over here. Do I get a sense of where that voice is coming from? I'm over here, Frosty. Look at me, look at me. Yeah, it's coming from the pile of children that are all running around.

Do I, look at it? I mean, this is a wide pile. Can I at least get a left, right signature? You can roll a D20 to see if you can find Will of Faywild. But if you choose to attack, you're attacking, regardless of whether you find him or not. Yeah. Toward the mace.

Let's put your token back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're ready. I'm going to walk one, two, three, here, and listen for the voice and suss it out. I'm will the farewell. Frosty, you better hit me.

One. You rolled a natural one? I did. What was it that you were, what attack were you going to do? I was going to use my ability of the crystal cat to attempt to create a beam of

blindness into the children. Oh. Oh, is that A-O-E? Does it do any damage? No, it's 10 feet. They have no save. Oh. I'm going to blind eight to 10 children.

You do easily blind eight to 10 children. Holy shit. But do I get a sense that I hit the... You have no idea. Well, I'll blind the children. Oh, my own house. I'll blind the children. You deserve it.

People deserve it. We're getting captured. of beam hit hits, all of these particular ones are instantly blinded no save for next. No, it's fine. That's exactly what you do. Ah, my eyes! It's like staring in the sun!

Cremmy, it's your turn. Children, if you're blind and you're not Noney, lie down. I'll walk up here and I'll step over again. I'm willing to say, wow. I'm willing to say wild. Don't attack Hootsie. Hootie, if you're Hootie, get out of here.

Run away, kids. All right, fellas. I'm the bookie of bone, and I got a hunger. And the only prescription is more gambling debt. I use the devour ability, and these, like, neon poker chips are going to sling from everyone here.

Let's fucking go. And they'll absorb into me as I devour bad luck, and I will pass out four natural 20s. What? We have a sports fort here. That we can charge in. Oh, shit, I missed out. You got to be within 10 feet, sorry.

You put this right here. Is it okay? There's no say, yeah, it automatically succeeds. Let's go! Okay, so we all have natural 20s. Yeah. That's my action. That is your action.

My bonus action, I suppose I can maybe try to do a spell or something. Actions. Hey, crummy, crime me, kill me, kill me, kill me, I'm Willa Fawar, kill me. Kill me! Kill me, gang-erang! It's going to kind of like not walk, almost like float as it's the shadow-a-me.

It's like trafal. These couple can only see shadow. Oh, shit. That's pretty cool. And I don't want to tag a child with this guy. Well, oh no. You gotta risk it, man. Sometimes you gotta roll the hard six.

Do I get any sense that Frost got in terms of where he might be? No. Roll a D-20. to see if you can determine Will from the others. I mean, and then you have to attack afterwards if you make this role. So it can be where the shadow,

I'm gonna look and the shadow spawn is gonna attack. It's going to attack, it just determines whether you're gonna hit Will or not. Let's do it. It's attacking. Are they afraid? Are they afraid? It depends on if it's will or not.

Well, okay. If they had failed his dreadful scream, then he'd be a vanished. All the children had failed. Okay. But you don't know if it's will yet. So you need to roll to hit Will or not. And then I'll roll the second one.

And then you will roll. It's a two. It's not twistable. These ones are not twistable. Okay. So. You are advantaged. Oh. So you are advantaged. So if it's will, it's a two.

If it's not will, it's a 10. And do I add my attack? Might it hit? What do you mean if, no, you were rolling a 20 to see if you a 20 to see if you could determine which one of these children was Will. You then, now you, Okay. Richie knows that you're not hitting Will.

And now you're rolling. But you're rolling to attack one of these children. Okay. And I'm an advantage. They're afraid. Yes. Oh, that might actually miss. Oh, 13 to hit.

That's the next level. That hits. How much damage does this do? 412. Kid just, just explosion of this around. I mean, it's a shadowed nightmare creature. It's called chilling red. This child just explodes into this.

I roll average damage, that's good. Red and missed. 12 points of cold damage. You reach out with the shadow, and it begins to move through these children. You watch as it moves next to them, it continues to transform into their shadows until it eventually finds the one you believe to be willing.

you believe to be Will of the Fay Wild, and it lashes out, and you immediately see the form change as a small dwarven girl appears in front of you. She smiles for a moment before you see her eyes roll back in her head and she slams to the ground, looking completely lifeless. Wait, do you want us to... Woon that one.

Just pick one up, flip it over, make sure it does not have a W on the back of it, and you can remove it. So just pick a Randolph. Okay, I did. And, uh, yeah. Brutty has more hit points than that. As soon as this is over, I'm gonna perfect my rue.

Woo. And her like you sold this. Yeah, really right. What I will say is she appears lifeless. I'll say for the sake of this just because this would be horrible. They're not actually dead. She's just unconscious. As long as I don't like overkill her.

Richie, Andy, Mikey, Mace, and Derek all know these children are not actually dead. Your characters would think otherwise. Oh! Did I do that? I'm totally. Technically, I got a Snanoni Shadow that did that. I take my haunted poker chip and I say, I love it when you stack the deck, Cremie.

And I spent half my movement to get up. Just for flavor. Yeah. And I'll move here. It was 7.5. Double that's 12 point. That's the range of your chains. Huh?

Do you mean range attack with the chains? No, I don't know. No, I don't have any range attack on. Don't keep using me doing that. I tend to burn hands, but even that's a 15-foot cone, so I'd be out of it. I have to dash to get up there by the shadow. Did you action surge already? Yeah.

just to hit them again. All, I'll just dash to get up in there. And you're good. And now I double action, and cast burning hands and kill them. I just run up there. I will bonus action second win just to heal. Okay, and you are burning hands.

No, no, no, I can't do that. Oh, okay, okay, okay. I would. Now it's the layer action. Now it's the layer action. Max Elyleon. So you don't do any damage to that. I don't do any damage to anybody.

But I do look around for Will. round for Will to see if I can see his tongue at his face. Roll a D20. I'm right up here. Okay, I'm right up here. I'm just saying. Not minus six. Is he, what's he saying?

Oh, Gideon, chain me up. Not in a weird way though. Oh my God. Not in a weird way. Looking with your chains. Just a nine? No. Man, we are not rolling hot.

It is the lair action. Once again, the tree begins to shake. And you watch that each round, As combat progresses, you are seeing more and more of these thorny tendrils. More and more thorns are falling from the bow as this is happening. And it is going to do... 60. This is all of us?

27. Score to 27. 20 points of damage to anyone who fails and 10 points to anyone who succeeds. DC is 16? DC is 15. Okay, I bet. Me too. Just one more time.

Two twists, two twists. I passed so hard I heal. Whoa. I got 16, so I'll take 10. Anybody fail? Nope. Oh, I'm sorry. What was the third?

Dex. Decks. 15. 15 passes. You all, but you will still take 10 points of damage, all of you. Thank you. You take 10 points of piercing damage as these thorns pierce into you,

but you are able to dodge away from the lashing branches as they attempt to knock you prone. will, does not seem to emerge from this. Grico. Damn, he's so strong. As I'm shouting, I'll say, I'll take my ocarina and I'll switch the song, do-d-do-do-do-do-do-do as the Garallin will appear playing some bongos,

as I will then, Torbic Silicon Ruff, right? Brutely. Yeah, I'm gonna run up here. But he's locked in. And I am going, to say, here's a big mega bonagna, as I'm going to cast cure wounds on you. And then the song's also going to heal me as I do that.

Those bonus action, action, that's my turn. I'll roll for both of us. Torback moving on. Can you roll? It kind matters. Oh, it does. It does. Yeah, because I got to spend it points that do shit.

So just take your time. I don't know. I need to like, I need to know. I got it. Fifty points of healing. That's huge. To you, and then nine points of healing to me. That's huge.

I fucking love Circle of Stars. Yeah. So, um, I, Torrek is still, Torrege is still breathing heavily. His hands, these, these quality normally has, they begin to like change and mutilate, become longer and more knife-flight, and now they're like dripping with this horrific,

glowing magenta stuff, as I will take 1D6 damage to activate my, come on. I take one damage. Nice. Put a damage, okay. So that's gonna add 1D6 to my attacks. I use my movement to move forward. I would like to cash in my natural 20 to identify will.

Oh, my. Holy shit. Very smart. You look out towards this group of children, and you see that one of them is looking a little beefier than the others. It becomes clear to you almost immediately, as you see this child muttering under his breath, that while he has been not doing anything,

he's been healing. Oh, fuck. That he has been choosing to not do anything within the Sea of Children to regain his strength and to regenerate through the power

of whatever that magic is and you can see that it is thrumming through him as you lock eyes and you hone in on Will. It's like Warwick's blank sense. Kill me, Torbett. It's me, Willow.

I'm a bitch. I'm hiding, like a little coward. The attacks are no longer advantage, right? Just attack it straight. Not from me, yeah. Two attacks. We're twisting until you go.

I'll twist one. The one's gonna be a 19 to hit. Yeah, yeah. 16. We'll twist it until it's. Nice, higher. Do we determine which one is? 26 points of damage over two attacks.

Hell yeah, right. How much? 26 over two attacks. Should we determine the W? 26 over two attacks. Okay. You rush in, you push the children aside as you had straight towards.

You claw into him, rending his flesh. This is horrifying as you watch Torbeck go absolutely feral on this visage of a small child. You see his blood begins pouring out of his body. You watch as even in his rejuvenated state, he is still weakened and he slumps forward. You see tears begin to stream down his eyes. He looks like he is barely hanging on.

May I reveal the token? Just put one in front of Torbeck and we'll call that one Will. Because depending on what happens next. Oh my God. Oh my God. That was fucking crazy. You all saw it. Holy fuck.

That's so crazy. Amazing. Damn. Damn. I'm going, I have to roll to see if he is able to. Slip away. Get back in the crowd. And it looks like he is able to.

He looks up at you and you see him smile and for a second you see the pointed teeth. You see the horns appear in his head for a second as he slips away and next thing you see is just a sea of children as they're all running around panicking. But he looks like he is incredible. My blood's in my eyes, my blood's in my eye. God, he's got two good fucking heads on.

I love that. That was good though. And that is his entire turn to do that, so Frost. You may think that you're, hiding, but now that I know which one you are, I can see through you with my mind. I'll use my natural 20 to find. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum,

and then, presuming that I can do that. You immediately sense him. You notice him as he's crawling between, like even though these children are running this way and that, they're panicking, it is absolute chaos, but you see that there is, he is very weak and he's barely able to stand up. You watch as he grabs onto the body of one of the other children and pulls himself up

and slightly leans on them to blend in, but you're able to see that there's one that is clearly more weakened. I can feel the signature of his mind and I'm just watching him through the crowd now and knowing that. You watch as he breathes in, he seems to be channeling something,

he seems to be attempting to heal himself. And you imagine if you wait too much longer, he will be able to regain some more, or regenerate more health. You've done enough, Will, and I will try to crush his mind with mine. He needs to make an intelligence saving throw. His intelligence is plus two.

He's a test. And I'm going to spend a bonus action to make sure that I have enough sorcery points to make it. I will use one dread potentially. Oh, I was gonna give him disadvantage, but you can still use the dread. I could still use the dread.

That's up to you. Damn. And so he's a disd disadvantaged. Okay, so that would be a five plus two would be a seven. I'm going to use a dread, and that's a two. So that would be, that would be a four. So he fails. He takes 12 psychic damage. You watch as you look through this throng of children, and you find the weakened one, you look towards him, and you squish his brain. And as he is muttering, intelligible things that Grico is causing him to spew out of his, out of his mouth.

The children are going crazy. He looks exhausted. He looks tired. He's focusing on trying to regenerate his health. You see as he reaches towards his side and you see a vial, another vial of this, of this liquid as he pops the top, ready to down some more of it, as you, with your mind, smash into his brain and you watch as his eyes roll back into his head and he falls over dead in front of you. His childlike form begins to fade away very quickly as the only body begins to grow larger and larger and larger. You all watch as all of these children begin to stop

the charm, control over them broken, as this entity is, as this entity is killed in front of you, you begin to see dwarven children, elven children, the dwarf child that Kremi's shadow had attacked, shakes her head and sits up looking confused, very clearly in pain but alive, as you see Mishka towards the back. You see Hootze appear, Juniper, the owl bear appears.

Ethel, the old woman that had been caged up. You see, you even see some toy soldiers that had been captured. You see one of the goblins from the goblin market, it's not just children. It was whoever they needed to take to get out of loom lurch alive. Eight of them are still blind for the next 52 seconds. That's true. And luckily for me, it was nobody important.

We're just working children. As some of eight of these children are panicking because they cannot see. And you watch as all of them begin to come to. And then I need you all to roll a wisdom saving throw. Oh, no. I'm still disadvantaged. Natural 20, folks.

Dread. Oh, I got a natural one. If I try to twist this one, you dread it. 11. So I got six. I'm gonna twist this unless you dread me. I fail. 18.

Okay. 27. You're done. No more twist. I fail. Yeah, I can try. As. 27.

14. 27? 27. 27. The rest of you, actually I'll judge you again. I figure he used, you use like four. So I'll use two. You all look around for a minute.

Grico, you see Hootsie and you feel yourself overwhelmed as your child is there in front of you. You are all exhausted but victorious in this moment. As you hear a faint weakened voice And immediately the ground beneath you begins to rumble as the trient has not been felled. And similar to the children who had been held in these thorny cages, you feel a cage erupt

up out of the earth made of roots and thorns as it traps you within. All of the children immediately look towards you and they look towards you with blank eyes and then fall to the ground unconscious. As from the very back, a withered old woman, Ethel, who you had met on the crossroads, stands up, shakes the dust off of her,

and begins to move towards you. And as she does, her form begins to change. What was a weakened old woman who had been telling you the plight of her husband and what had happened to him, you now see turned into a more toad like form as Bavlornablitstra shambles towards you, kneels down next to the dead body of the ony. And you watch as she takes a small vial of his blood humming to herself. You notice that out of her

satchel, you can see some of her lornellings climbing out and beginning to scavenge some things from him. All the while, she is paying you no mind after she is done taking the blood from this ony. you watch as she snaps her fingers and the roots claim its body and pull it down into the earth. She then looks towards all of you and she smiles, a twisted smile. You did exactly what I needed you to do. You went to get the picture for me, did you not? And she reaches into her other pack and she pulls out what are clearly six vials of blood. and pricked your fingers on the thorns.

The blood I need to thwart my sisters. Oh, this will be grand. This will be grand. And that is where we will end the session. Oh. Fucking freaks. Well done, Nicky. Well done. Nice for on the session.
