Welcome to Nerd Poker.
Hey everybody.
It's Nerd Poker.
I'm Brian Peson.
You're listening to NerdPoker.
It's episode 65 of the Fodg Campaign.
My friends are here.
We got to play three games in a row.
So these episodes are a little tighter than usual because we wanted to get three done without me falling asleep in front of them and shit in my pants.
And it still happened.
But anyway, we'll jump right in.
We'll say hi to everybody real quick.
Totally random order this time.
Ken.
I can smell your brain.
Oh, God.
Blaine.

And running the show from the cool part of the table.

Buffalo Wild Wingman.

Dan.
Thanks, playing.
Please refrain from blowing your vovozella in the door.
She doesn't like that.
Willie's like,
yo,
what the fuck?
More vovovo.
Actually, what's really cute about it is
she didn't like it,
but like the main thing she did
is come to Brian and
can you consult me for having to listen
to that night.
Oh,
poor dolly.
I need therapeutic butt rub.
She knows I did it too,
as if she knows how iPhones work.
She's like, dude, I know you made that fucking noise.
I'm sorry.
I have superhuman hearing.
Sorry, buddy.
You know, what's called dog hearing?
Yeah, it's called dog hearing.
Normal dog hearing.
Why to talk about what happened last time my nerd poker?
Ow, my normal dog hearing.
You guys made it through a fight with two undead mind flares pretty thoroughly and grabbed a couple of bonds off their corpses.
You've just flown over a narrow river of burn.
burning slime up into a little platform on the far southeast corner of the map.
The far southwest corner of the map has the answers to all the horrors of the undercity.
But for now, you're going to go sleepy bear time.
We've got a Lehman's tiny hut being thrown up by Twitten.
Now, I'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but can you remind me,
Lehman's tiny hut is just like, uh, that's not a concentration spell, right?
And it's up for like eight hours.
So you're going to want to go right to sleep you by.
Let's see.
Lehmann's Tiny Hut.
Let me bring it up.
Here we go.
That's Hellman's Tiny Hut on the East Coast.
It's Lehman's Tiny Hut, which is just a 10-foot radius, so 20-foot diameter,
immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you and remains stationary.
nine creatures of medium size or smaller fit inside.
Creatures within the dome, when you cast a spell, can move through it freely.
All other creatures and objects are barred from passing through it.
Spells and other magical effects can't extend through the dome or be cast through it.
The atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather.
Until the spell ends, you can command the interior to become.
dimly lit or dark.
The dome is opaque from the outside
of any color you choose, but
it is transparent from the inside.
Lovely. Weird.
So the only real catch
is normally
the way I do this, and I think
a lot of people do this, is if you're going to
have people like be on watch shifts
to take turns,
it's going to take more than eight hours.
So if you guys,
if one of you is some sort
of species who only need
four hours asleep.
That's not a big deal, but there would at least be four hours where you're just sort of
sleeping in the hut and no one's awake.
I'm already asleep.
That might be, I don't know about tabxy.
Elves, I think, have less, but not all elves, right?
I think not half elves, but I'm going to double check that.
I'm eight hours.
What are we all?
What are we all?
Brian, what species are you?
What are we?
Good question.
You're, if I'm not mistaken, high elf.
Yeah, that's true.
Get it?
Yeah, I am a high elf.
Are you a full elf or half elf?
That's a good question.
Where would that be?
I think you're a full elf.
Do you not need to sleep?
If he's a high elf.
I think you're a full elf, which means you only need four hours, which is good to Chris's point.
They enter a four hour trance or reverie.
But little people.
needs four hours or eight hours and fish boy needs eight hours so either someone is
going to need to be sleeping without Lehman's tiny hut or you guys are going to skip a watch
for four hours yeah well we all just go to sleep it's and then he'll wake up safe too okay
I mean he will then have four hours like I don't think it's a big deal just because it's a little
different than what we've done most of the time.
I just want to check in.
If that's cool, we're safe in the hut.
You just might miss something we might have
seen. True. So you
guys all pull out your bed rolls
and cozy up. I'll
say. In a relatively
defensive position,
but with so much concern that
anything could break inside.
And then,
I've been asleep this whole time.
Suddenly we die.
Brian's going to wake up a natural
really after four hours.
Oh.
Because you're a high else, Brian.
Somebody's all rested.
Can I have you do a perception check?
I'm also flying.
The whole time?
Yeah.
Sleep flying.
Sleeping and flying.
Okay.
I hate that so much.
20.
24.
for it.
Amazing.
Ooh, nice.
Ain't nothing getting past you.
About 200 feet down the river and you're kind of like pacing around Liam and saying
how well everyone sleeps just trying to like get your bearings like right about like
you're way over here.
You're like you know 75 feet down and then down there about where that Alhoun miniature
is turned over at the moment where it died.
You see this massive 20-foot-wide skull with worms pouring out of its eye sockets floating,
just taking up the entire width of the walls, and it's just like pointed directly towards you.
Oops.
Wake everybody up.
How far away is it?
It is about 170 feet away.
It's just one.
It's like 250 feet away.
It's pretty far away.
Wake up.
Wake out.
Wake out.
Look over there.
Is there anything we can do about it?
Because otherwise, I'm just going to go back to bed.
That's gross.
Yes, go to sleep.
What?
Nothing can get us inside here.
Just get back inside and we'll...
If you watch it.
As long as you've been eye on it.
Hey, hey, friend, little peeper's here.
Could you just stare at the skull with worms coming out of its eye sockets for four more hours?
Okay, bye.
Yeah.
I'm rolling over and stretching.
Brian?
All your friends go back to bed.
The skull.
But we pat him and say, you were right to let us know.
And good night.
And there's it.
Brian, you are left alone.
In the hut.
Give him the hut.
No, he's staying in the hut.
You can see it from inside the hut.
But it's sockets with the worms pouring out of them are facing towards the hut.
Gross.
As if staring directly at you, Brian.
I like it.
Do an insight check, please.
Well, I stop looking at it.
after a while.
Well, sure, but do an insight journey.
Brian's like,
don't make me do anything right now.
I think Brian has left.
Brian's like, this is upsetting.
I quit.
That's love plus five plus two.
Seven.
You can't tell if it can see you.
You feel pretty confident because of the way
Liam is tiny how it works that it can't.
But the way it's staring is deeply unsettling.
Yeah.
Fuck that thing.
All right.
And everyone starts to stir as Liamans' tiny hut tops.
I'm going to hit the snooze hut.
We're going to get nine more hours.
I'll say that all of you kind of like move to the sides of the hut
so you're not immediately like in the gaze of the hallway.
You're just like automatically.
So if I can just scoot your character sheet off of this book.
Yeah.
So we got our long rest.
You got your long rest.
Yeah, good.
Everyone's got their arm.
And I'm going to put everyone's music.
Just for illustrative purposes.
How do you kind of, sorry, my shirt.
shirt keeps rubbing on this.
Oh,
will you hand me some minis so I don't have to stand up and get completely off mic?
Thank you.
So you guys are all just kind of like on the sides here.
You can pass me.
That one to put away sadly.
He did.
Yeah.
So you guys would just kind of be huddled up like that.
I would think.
Or do you all want to be on one side or both sides?
Is there any cover?
Yeah, like, but if you have to go to the side.
So what I'm basically suggesting is you're either on one side or both.
Well, let's split.
Okay, split a while.
Less of a target.
I want to make sure I'm standing next to Spicoli.
I don't know if I am, because I want to give him gift of alacrity.
You are next to him.
Okay, right.
Brian, I've done this, I think, one time before.
For the next eight hours, you had a D8 anytime we roll initiative.
It's basically through my bard magic.
giving you like an extra step
if we get into combat.
Cool. So what do I roll?
Only when we roll initiative.
Okay.
But I'll remind you in that if that is.
If.
I mean.
All right.
So here's my little
illustration of what you all see.
That looks like a skull
with worms coming out of its eyes.
Just like you said.
Right there.
I see it. I see it.
The prophecy.
It's true.
Gosh, shoe is not for you to taste on.
Silly Willie.
Willie.
Why's my shoe inside your mom?
All right.
Do we want to attack this?
I mean, it knows we're here.
I don't know.
We didn't have a role initiative.
Yeah, but that's because it's not a bad time.
What's behind?
What's behind us?
A lot of mistakes, but you're starting to forgive yourself.
I mean, like, if we keep going down that way, away from the skull.
I texted you, not too long ago.
You can use your secret wand.
Exactly.
Oh, yeah, secret ones.
You've got a room sort of to the north that you have not been in.
Secret one.
If you check that out on the old mappage.
Once I had a secret long.
Whoa.
Listen to that.
Oh, so there is like a stair, is that a stair?
No, it's just a doorway.
It's just, it's a hall.
I mean, like, um, 20 foot.
Yeah.
20 foot.
Yeah.
20 foot.
Yeah.
Let's maybe move up there or at least do our sneaky thieves want to take a peek and see
if that's a safer spate?
Oh, you're more like Billy Idol than a sneaky thief.
Brian's making a real
snarly face.
He's sneering, like he's having a white wedding.
That's a great impression.
Do you guys want to sneak up there?
Oh, is Billy I in the room?
The only idolish.
That's a good joke right there.
Billy Idolish, we all know what that means.
Hey, everybody.
I'm always going to nerd poker.
Poker enjoying the show.
Do you want to sneak and take a look?
Sure.
So, Dan, they're going to the north.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm just pulling that up.
So do a stealth check, please.
I will touch you and give you guidance.
I'm sorry, it's, yeah, it's to the north.
It's to the north.
And I'll touch the little peepers if he wants to go, too.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
18 plus 12.
Jesus.
90.
Wow.
So like a stiff breeze,
you glide into the room to the north.
It was a fucking dirty.
Jesus.
Characters are ridiculous.
There's a room you guys kind of bolted through
that has an altar with bloody shackles on it
and four torches.
It is down yet another hallway.
Right now, you are in a room
that is pretty barren.
it looks like maybe it was once used for something,
but right now, it just has a bunch of,
these little, like, clay pots.
Some of them are smashed apart.
Ooh, clay pot chicken.
But there's about seven of them.
Glacious.
Claypot chicken.
Can you do it?
Well, I'll let you choose either an insight or an Arcana check, Brian,
as you stare at the clay pots.
If you're an Arcana check,
it's going to be pretty tough for you.
it would be a DC-22.
If you want to do an inside check,
it's going to also be pretty tough for you.
It's going to be a DC-25.
Oh, shit.
There might be one of those you can't make.
Definitely take the high bonus.
Not sure.
So you're going to head back to your friends?
Yeah.
You, again, breezeily down the hallway.
What do you guys think?
And, like, you know, it's over here.
There's room.
There's pots.
And then if you go down there, there's this altar room here.
Dan, meanwhile, while he was sneaking,
that Brian was sneaking,
did the skull worms do anything?
If you wanted to peek, that'll be a perception check.
Sure.
Because you've been trying to stay in cover.
I'll take a look.
I'll say it's, you know, it's right there.
What kind of check?
Perception check.
Just to just get a read on it
is if you like kind of poke your head around the side.
16 plus 10, 26.
Yeah, you can tell that the skull itself is continuing to stay suspended.
It's unclear whether or not the skull is spectral or not, but the worms are not.
These worms are kind of plopping into the slime.
Do there seem to be any worms in the slime coming towards us?
Not that you can see, but there are definitely,
Like hours worth of physical worms have been plopping into the river about 250 feet upstream.
Of acid.
But it's an acid river, right?
We know that.
If they've been plopping the river, it is definitely a possibility that they would be dissolving in it, but you're not sure.
Right.
Okay.
Well, what do you guys think?
I mean, we have to go down there.
And I'm going to kind of give you another photo in the group text.
So you can kind of like say what I'm talking about.
Might as well attack it, right?
Yeah, shoot some better at least.
Yeah, we have range right now.
Does everybody comfortable with...
I mean...
I mean, we have to go that way.
We have to kill that.
You'll be able to see the room in group.
How far is it at this point?
We might have to move closer.
Yeah, let's get a little representation.
Let's put something there.
Yeah, just put the jar there.
Just right about where the album went down.
So I'm farther back, right around with the rocks.
are in there, a little closer.
There you go. Perfect, perfect.
I'm right about there.
So distance-wise, is that 120 feet?
No, there's like another, like, it's about 250 feet away.
If you want to do this, I, for brevity's and reaches sake, I move this up.
This is, like, all the way down here.
If it hasn't moved, I'll redo this.
It's just sitting there.
Likes, you guys.
Can't stop this?
This, uh, well, we could.
then seeing the distance
and we have to
use your... This is why you've been having to do a perception check
because it's like...
Then you're flying speed. Like we'd have to use a
high level spell to go
back the way we came.
By consulting the map
in is there a way for us to go up to the
north where Spicoli was
looking and come back?
Can you see the photo kind of? It's pretty...
Oh, did you add more? I did. There's
one I sent you above the skull.
Oh.
Huh?
This is a years, right?
Nope.
That's an unopened bottle of water just for you.
Perfect.
It looks like it's crying tears of worms.
And there's that room to the north, yeah.
I mean.
Clay pots.
Actually, you know what?
When he describes it, if you are proficient in Arcana,
do an Arcana trick.
There's a chicken.
Claypot.
San Francisco.
It might just be kind of.
It was a Vietnamese place.
I remember.
So, good.
What was the name of it?
I can't remember, but they had the,
pretty high roll.
Vietnamese coffee.
Eight's not very high.
What about 15?
Oh, that's much higher than eight.
And we drink one Vietnamese coffee and then just,
are you providing jokes?
No.
You eat that clay pot right now.
You can tell from the way Spacoli described them to you and just from
pure and on the hallway without what going down the,
Those are phylactories.
And philactory, of course, that means...
Like a cheesecake phallectory?
Is that the thing you have to ask the pharmacist for?
Roll one more.
Arcana check.
And there's another thing you might be able to tie this.
It's not a water balloons too.
No, no, no.
No, no.
Insight, Insight.
18 plus 624.
Okay.
So with the Arcana check, you know that those are phylactories,
which are containers, a litch, an undead,
puts parts of their physical body that binds them to the prime material plane.
Oh, I think you mean that lets them regenerate.
What's the, what are they called in her?
Key, Horcroxes?
Horcroxes.
That's what you mean.
They're sort of like horroxes, but they're parts of its body as opposed to like physical belongings.
And that altar with the chains on it with a 24 insight, that's great.
What a great number for this information.
You put two and two together and you think,
think at some point the litch was chained up while someone removed body parts it is on its behalf
to help it in order to make it a litch yeah it's torture us destroy all that shit right yeah
we yeah we should maybe just be aware that maybe if it's a if it's like connected to
these things it might come a run and but yeah good after we've destroyed all of its body parts
right exactly okay so let's Dan you're raising your hand trying it's Sam's
attention without anyone actually speaking out loud but Sam we've broken Sam Sam Sam
we have seven minutes left thank you sir cool well now that my worst nightmares
come true and we've talked about time out loud that's your worst nightmare
hey Dan what do you think of it Sam so we have 17 minutes no what was that playing
Dan's Sam so we have 17 minutes probably 16
at this point.
Well, it's still something.
So, yes,
with everyone's passive insight,
you do think there's a solid chance.
If you destroy those vital actories,
I mean,
how could someone that powerful not know
that was done to their most precious
physical belongings?
So that's good.
Body parts, even.
Because she wants us to come to her fucking murder house.
Yeah, she's got to go past
to fucking egg birth the eye farm.
It does.
I mean, at this point, too,
I would,
Again, you guys have ridiculous, passive insights.
It does seem like maybe she is making a ploy to distract you.
Draw you out.
You mean that guy?
The big skull.
Yeah.
Let's go destroy those fight lactories.
Yeah.
I like Chris's playing.
It's really Harry Potter's, but I like Harry.
What's his name?
Harry Potter.
Hi.
Wasn't he?
Didn't he take over for Colonel Blake on Nash?
That's right.
Are you going to destroy these phylactories, guys?
Oh, firebolt, right?
Like, not up close.
Yeah, kick them and stuff.
Like, let's use, at least from a range.
Let's, I know what I'm going to use.
How big is the room?
Like, how close do we have to be if we're in the room with the phylactories?
Make me so long.
Let's see.
I'm going to pull up the photo I sent you.
count five and do the same.
I don't think I have a photo of that.
I just have the...
It did not go through.
This is, again, because we're in the hills.
Oh, God.
I'm going to try to send again, but it is...
Send it again.
Yeah, and I'll show you.
I have to do the mass.
The room is 510, 15, 20, 25, 30, 30...
It's 40-by-5-66.
Get fucked.
Fun.
100.
Ready or not?
Here I come.
It's like 60-P tall.
45b wide.
60 by 40.
Okay.
And this is what it looks like
the phylactories
have those little rings
on the top.
Okay.
Oh, I see.
Circles from five down.
So let's maybe stay in like
the southern hallway,
like the entrance of the room
and from a distance,
let's hurl.
Sure.
Death.
Yeah.
Right?
Let's hurl death upon them.
I saw hurl death open for glory.
Or if I want
if pirate techniques could distract it.
It should certainly entertain it for a while.
All right, so when it starts firing a firebolt at it?
Yeah.
I'm casting sorcerer's burst of terrible things.
Death Thunder is what are your personal?
Yeah, but doesn't have much damage.
Everybody roll for a round of fire and such.
Okay.
Roll your spell attacks.
Lightnings.
Lightning.
Is that 18?
Nice.
It's a can't true.
I guess I still are going to do it.
Oh, natural 20.
I did nine points of damage to the phallactor.
It's 13.
I'm late.
13.
13.
20?
If you're doing a firebolt, yeah.
12.
12 points.
I should use firebolt.
Not a thing.
Oh, man.
18 a hit?
Well, since you're posing as a question,
and I will just go ahead and skip ahead.
All of your attacks just sort of fizzle with a little shimmer of blue magic as they connect with the jars.
Do we recognize what that might be?
It seems like it's really hard to destroy.
It seems like there's a magical protection on the objects.
Shit.
Like a shield.
Oh, use your wand of secrets.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that will review.
Who knows?
That will not do anything in this particular situation.
Dan, you're so negative.
I don't like that.
What if it did?
All right.
That was the series.
The one of secrets is about secret doors.
I'm going to cast Dispell Magic.
Oh, yeah.
M-A-G-I-C.
Think of that.
I will cast it, I guess, at fifth level.
So that knocks it up.
You just spelled that.
You can spell anything that you desire.
Dispel magic.
Yes?
I'm so wasted.
M-A-G-I-C.
That's my skull.
And what level are you going to do?
Fifth level.
All right, let's roll your dispel.
Okay, so for the plus nine,
I'll make sure I'm doing this right.
I will tell you it's hard.
I mean, I'm assuming if it's...
But I am making you roll because it's possible.
How's that?
Hard but possible.
What's your bonus to dispel magic?
That's what I'm...
Yeah, looking.
Dispel magic.
Is a third level.
It automatically ends spells at third or higher.
And then, so I'm casting it at fifth.
You're third or lower.
D.C. 10, plus the spells level.
or lower. Any spell of third or lower ends for each spell of fourth level of higher,
make the DC equals 10 plus the spells level. So whatever the spells level, that's the DC.
And then I'm casting it at fifth. You can't spell, spells a spell automatically end the effects of a spell.
Okay. There's a unique DC for a phylactory. Copy that.
So I get to add, make an ability check using my spell casting ability. So that's plus nine.
14 plus 923.
Nothing happens.
Sorry, guys.
I mean, I'll try it too.
Okay.
Yeah, it depends on what level you're doing.
Five.
Okay.
Chris, did you just have the one fifth level spot?
Slot?
No, I have two.
Okay.
I'm just curious.
I'm not trying to force it.
So it's DC10 plus that's both.
Oh, so it's...
You have to do...
27.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
Nothing happens.
Well, that was a waste of time.
Like I said, it's possible, but it seems like this is an incredibly difficult
and protection.
It's 27.
What did you roll, though?
What was it?
10 plus the level and then.
No, no, no.
DC-10.
What was on your D-20 when you rolled it?
Because you rolled the D-20.
Okay, so, yeah.
I mean, it's possible.
There's a difference of four numbers, right?
Yeah.
Oh, no, I, maybe I can give you Bartik inspiration.
You can add it to an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw.
It counts as a magical attack.
Dan, does that sound right?
Okay, I'll give you Bartic inspiration.
So you can add a D-A, so you basically make that roll, and you can add a D-8 to it.
Oh, a D-8.
So I just roll a D-8.
No, no, no, no.
You have to do it.
the spell over it, but you get to add a D8 this time.
All right, well.
It's a dangerous roll.
Ooh, it looked like an 18.
It's a 15.
That sounds terrible.
15 plus your bonus, which is 8.
This can be 26.
And now you get to add a D8.
Right, no, 15 plus...
He said your bonus was 8, 23.
Plus an 8 now.
Yes.
What is this in 8?
No, where's the 8?
It's higher than 15, isn't it?
Because what's the 8?
And 4.
So it's 27.
That's the same thing you got last time when you rolled one number lower.
And then plus you added a BARTIC inspiration.
Wasn't last time a 27 because you rolled a 16?
Yeah.
You did the math wrong one of those two times.
But that means it could be a higher number.
So let's go back.
What did you add together the first time?
There's like a number you didn't add this time maybe?
16 plus a D10.
So you didn't roll a D10?
You rolled a D10 last time, but not this time.
Is that why it's lower?
I think so, yes.
Okay.
So six plus 27.
33.
This time there's a shimmer of blue magic
around all of the pots,
and it sizzles away.
Nice.
Now let's fuck off those pots.
Little peopers, his ears go out.
I'm like, wait, fuck the pots.
Brian.
The pots, kill the pots.
I don't believe in that.
Pot fucking.
Kill that shit, swaned that shit
Now that's happened, can we do it?
Elbow-dry on your elbow.
I guess we could make a little bong, sure.
Can we do another round of always?
I'm going to fire my shotgun at the pots.
Yeah, I'm going to fire my firebolt.
Great, this time everything just smashes everything to pieces
as if they're just clay pots which will dried out livers and hearts.
The whole thing just
and, you know, 1812 more overture sorts echoing.
to the hallways.
The bad news bears come out.
Ken, look what you did.
We killed all the golfers.
Wow.
That was very exciting.
Goalphus.
Some of the songs from another dimension.
Golfers.
The bad news bears come out and run around the Astrodome.
Are you in that?
Were you in that freak?
Oh, no.
I was in an ABC after school special called
the what the hell was it called
anyway it was a baseball
rag tag baseball oh rag tag champs

YouTube
I got like that.
ABC after-school special,
the rag-tag champs.
When we destroy the phylacteries,
does anything happen?
There's a chilling silence for a moment,
but you feel pretty sure that we've won the game.
You've won Dungeons and Dragons.
Congratulations.
The game!
The 1812 overture plays once again,
this time without the explosion.
It's just in your heart.
You've got to use that wand.
Everyone gets...
Oh, yeah.
With passive insider.
are confident the litch must have noticed instantly and it's probably plotting something.
Well, those liches.
Let's just be plotting.
Do we have any bombs?
Do we have anything we could leave here as a way to fuck her over if she comes and we're not here?
We could sew some shrimp into the curtain house.
In case the lich is a landlord.
We're not going to get our security department back.
I put cement down the toilet.
All right, well, we should do a satellite.
Crack a couple eggs into the floor vents.
What about what if we move back down into this room
and just take a look at Skullhead and see if there's a change?
I mean, just see what there's a change.
Can we do that, Dan?
Peek your heads around the corner.
I'm trying to sneak in while you guys were talking.
some other stuff.
So what was there?
You could peeking to see if the skull is still there?
Yeah, just sort of come back to this room.
Check this.
That's on the skull.
Yeah, see, we're, because presumably that's, I think, where she's also coming from, right?
Probably.
She's over there.
That's her layer.
And she can't cut up that way.
No, we could ruin that for her.
So she has to come at us.
Through the river of shit.
Uh-oh.
Dan is passing notes to Blaine.
Do you like me? Yes? No.
Oh, Blaine's making a bad face.
Dan needs a lift.
Yeah, supposed to swing him by cedars.
Oh.
Oh, geez.
Do I feel, do I feel like I, uh, I,

Dan is writing more stuff

Brian that's yeah

Your note.
Brian got a note.
You know, I'm going to ignore my note.
Okay.
Oh.
Dan, don't even write me one.
Chris?
I'm going to thrill it to hell.
I will share this.
Can I share this with the group?
I'll turn to everybody and go, I'm hearing a voice in my head.
It's laughing.
I had a voice in my head.
This is for Sam?
That said, you fool, you are now cursed.
You fool.
You fool.
All right.
Let's give a Godfrey.
Sam got his wish.
It's an excellent dog.
Thank you.
My voice says that it's going to collapse the tunnel if we don't get out of here in five minutes.
All right.
Well, we've got five minutes.
The voice in my head just says, don't forget to remind everybody to tip their way, staff.
Oh.
and there's a merge table.
And dry safe.
Oh, and next week is Randy Lubis.
Well, then as we're...
I'm pretty proud I'm fit all that on that little bit.
As we hear that, can we at least come down here
and see what the visual landscape looks like?
The skull is still there.
Well, she wants us to not attack her.
She's saying, I'm going to collapse this thing.
You're cursed.
I would like, do you save and pay?
quit.
Oh.
You want Dungeons and Dragons.
All you had to do is quit.
Can I tell them what the voice?
You fander snatch.
The voice in my head says,
destroy your friends and I will give you eternal life.
Oh, well.
But actually, it looks like I will glue you eternal life.
Why am I getting roasted from my handwriting?
You fuck?
because we're a bunch of assholes.
Okay, Jeffrey Ross.
I'll hear you that.
I'll look at...
That's the meanest thing you've ever said to Ken.
That's the meanest thing you've ever said to Ken.
Did you steal a...
My ear all fell out.
Evil magic book?
Is that you?
No, that was a different guy.
Okay, that was the previous guy.
Okay.
I was going to say, there's nothing on you.
I think that was Blap.
Blap.
Okay.
Everybody roll a perception check, please.
Oh, blah, blah.
All right.
I think you threw that one away.
I think you'd like destroyed the book or like tossed it out of a crack.
Natural one.
18 plus 10, 28.
Oh, my God.
16 plus 3, 19.
Oh.
Oh, no, no.
19 plus 10, 29.
That's a kid.
You, real.
These characters are so fun.
I love it.
I love it.
They wanted a high five over a character role.
If you beat in 18, you felt this sudden vibrating in the floor, a rattling as if the entire
city is starting to shake.
Brian, you feel pretty sure that this rumbling is not going to go away.
Yeah, maybe this is going to collapse in five minutes so we should run.
Do we know where to run?
Oh, we got to kill her, though, right?
Oh.
I mean, I guess you might come out of here and go after us.
Everyone do an inside check.
I mean, they're like running away.
Running away is underrated.
17.
20.
17.
Blaine.
Yeah. Somehow, all of this ooze is getting into the bay.
It is coming.
up through a fissure somewhere that you have not explored. There is some sort of exit that all of
this slime is going down underneath this little mini cliff here. And coming up in a fissure
somewhere to the east at the bottom of the bay. And so there is another escape route other than the
one you came. It just involves going in the rather unpleasant green slime. Yeah.
Yeah. Like fully submerged in it. We can go back the way we came, right? Like if we just
just follow this phylactory room.
I mean, it's been flooded.
We'll have to see how that goes.
And if the path that you originally got hereby is flooded
and full of shrog hemits,
when next we play in your book.
All right.
Sam, you got any plugs?
I do.
It's episode 65.
There's a big skull.
We're going to fire bolt these phylactories.
Update.
They're harder to destroy than we anticipated.
We're going to use the wand to secrets.
Update.
Nope.
Wrong wand.
They did destroy it, by the last.
Yes, they did.
And what did you get for a note, Sam?
A perfect dong.
We love to see it.
The perfect dong.
Darkestwimsy.com, if you can help the same.
Bloody song, isn't actually?
Yeah.
You know I can be fully funded.
It's a perfect dong.
I'm glad I spread it with you.
Brian, let's see how good a bit of a dong you can draw.
Oh, such a perfect dog.
Just Brian, post it that phone for Jordan.
You just keep me hang you dog
Melny's trying to sleep.
Blaine's.
Now, this is what she wanted.
Sorry.
This is the subject she wants in her dreams.
I'm sure of it.
Bang a gong, draw a dong.
Did you get to say your words, Brian?
No, I did.
Okay.
Yeah.
Oh.
Say your prayers.
Blaine, go.
We attribute the success.
Save mankind from it.
