Welcome to the campaign after the campaign. This is not another D&D podcast.
Welcome to Mix Bag! M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m- You can go back to last month's mix bag. You can catch up. Yeah, I'm calling it twink,
which isn't really catching on.
Twink, wait.
Twilight saying,
oh!
Okay, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's not catching on for sure.
Oh, yeah.
Just go back to twink episode.
It's first shirt dead in the water.
I am your dungeon,
Dosen Emily Axe,
we're joined by Brian Murphy.
Dealing with ghouls and dealing with fools.
Frankie Ben Tasmall.
Call Bo Tanner.
Disguising myself as a very poorly constructed C.L.
Perfect.
It's a pin dark, pinny pantasmo.
And Jake Hurwitz.
Trying to get booty from a girl named true
Maybe fantastic press I do not have a rhyme when her
Really you guys really showed up there
We picked we picked to think that's true the Rogus nature and with that we returned to
Twilight Saint Torum a wastation between life and death
where the opportunistic undead mingle with the debauched living in a city cabaret
of predation and revelry.
And more importantly, home to Vantasmo and son, private investigation,
helmed by Frankie Vantasmoth, the mastermind.
His son, Penndark Vantasmoth, the director.
Pleased to meet you, hello.
And his grandson, Mavid Vantasmoth, the thief.
Yeah, to be, Vantasmoth and son, and son, because otherwise, I'm the man.
Who am I?
You know, well, I've been trying to construct the S to add to the sign, but we're out of materials.
Oh, sons would work, yeah.
Last session, Frankie, Penny, and Mavid received a mysterious guest to their carriage house,
a C.L.F. dancer by the name of Genevieve Sapphire, who'd been receiving threatening letters.
You agreed to help her?
Some, because she reminded you of your late wife, Lynette, and others seduced by the shiny
and ample Beaumont coinage that she got.
Well, we could really afford a nest with all that cash.
But on the way to investigate the cabaret, you are attacked by a sailance with two dot-tatt
twos, who warned you to keep away from the girl.
Frankie disguised his voice to sound like the powerful vampire Atticus Beaumont, only
to discover the combatants had not been sent by Atticus after all, and, in fact, rumor had spread.
Genevieve had stolen something from Atticus.
At the theater, Penny pealed off to investigate Genevieve's dressing room, but discovered her body, face down, already cold with death.
Then, Frankie and maybe joined, Penny to take for clues. You discovered a few innocuous things, a business card for a beauty hag, a rhyming poem,
scapped over vampire bites from the patron
she'd fallen out with, some more nefarious,
a ring with a stone pride from it,
a vile of little death, a drug that, as Frankie experienced,
causes your life to flash before your eyes.
And you also discovered that Genevieve's brain had been liquefied, her tongue, and ears
dismembered, and she was ghoul marked.
She had bartered her body to the ghouls in her death for some fast cash in life, at
which point repo ghouls descended.
And that's where we are now.
Oh, it's pretty crowded here already, guys.
Did you just wait outside until it done?
The stench of undead fills the room
as three repo ghouls appear.
Dark, stale blood stains their fingers and mouths.
Their teeth are razor sharp, the better
for crunching through cartilage and bone.
Oh, geez. Buzz about them maggots hatching from the folds of their skin.
Oh, okay. You gotta use shampoo for that.
Let us finish up in here then you can have the body, alright?
No, they can't have the body.
Two of them are smaller and wireier, but they stand behind a third who is tall, barrel-chested,
whereas a necklace of crocodile teeth, a status symbol, but also a nod to a god of hunger
who dwells in the swamps of shadow of the hall.
Okay, Trudy's gonna love that, we're gonna kick his glasses.
A larger one steps in front, right over the body and says you
Gov it that which was not promised to you
pampering with the property of the ghouls is not without consequence as you soon discover
Everybody roll initiative. Oh
Okay, I rolled good even though I got bad decks.
Uh, 19.
16 for Maven.
Uh, 15 for Penny.
Oh, good job, guys.
Thank you.
Okay, so, first to act is actually one of the ghouls.
See.
You see, two of them are standing behind the bigger one.
Blocking the window window but they have
these long hideous rotting flesh arms that have reached so from behind the big
guy I guess everyone will be a luck check to see who this guy goes after oh god
one wow amazing I got it too I yeah, Frankie goes and walks out and puts his finger in the big guy's chest and goes,
I don't agree with the ethics of your business.
That's bad.
It's not right.
Get your neck out, right?
It's not right.
It's all right.
Alright, and somebody already melted her.
Somebody already melted her goddamn brain.
Get my grandfather that necklace so he can give it to me.
We don't necessarily need the necklace.
We just need you guys to buzz off.
The necklace is a little loud.
I think we could do with like,
everybody shut the fuck up about the necklace.
The big guy looks at you as you put your finger
in his barrel chest and says,
keep that finger away from me, unless that I eat it.
And behind him, one of the ghouls is going to spit
on his claws and swipe at you.
That's it, you want this guy spit all over my finger before you eat it.
That'd be fucking creep.
That is a 22 to hit.
Okay, I'm great.
Okay, cool.
Okay, that is going to be seven slashing damage and I need you to give me a constitution
save.
Okay, cool, cool stuff.
Okay.
Constitutions, say, if I try not to freaking barf,
and I get a 15.
15 passes.
Woo!
Yeah, I've seen worse.
I live with freaking maven in bed.
This guy's dipping his pinky into all sorts of stuff
and testing it out.
I've been in it.
You think you can stop him?
I've been in the bathroom after you guys. You guys need to learn how to flush twice.
I was gonna say I flush back up a little bit.
Yeah, you don't do the double flush, and you need to.
I'm sorry, dad.
Mom was an angel in a saint,
but her family has a really bad constitution.
Um, next up is Frankie.
Great.
Okay.
I'm gonna go ahead and bonus action give
Mavid the help action.
I think Frankie is, as a mastermind,
I can do bonus action help action.
So I'll give Mavid the help action.
And I think Frankie is so slow that he knows he has no hope
as fighting as like sort of a regular rogue.
So it's just pointing where to shoot
and goes, it look, I ain't quick enough anymore,
but you get them like right here, right in the meat here.
I'm once against poking the big guys' chat.
We're poking, it was obviously making a big hit.
No, he's already, he almost made me barf,
why slapping at me.
You're only wet in my appetite for that finger.
All right, I'll do a help action.
Actually, you know what?
Bucket, I don't think there's any rules against this,
and I'm gonna see if you allow this.
I'll do bonus action, help to Mavid,
and action help to Penny.
Oh!
Absolutely.
So I'm just gonna say,
because I actually, I have-
I would be saying not to allow this.
Yeah, I have bad decks,
and I can't hide right now or anything
because these guys are all up on me
So I think I just start like slapping at them to distract them. Hey, what are you doing?
Hey, hey look this way this way this way. Hey this way. Dad, you're making a man. Yeah good. Oh, it's brilliant
I'm gonna slap him too. No, no, no, no, no, no, no slap. Yeah, I'm the only one slapping
You see the girls get ready to slap fight out. Yeah, I'm the only one slapping. You see the girls get ready to slap fight. I'm gonna slap you silly.
I think everyone else just use your weapons, all right?
And next up is Mavid.
Yeah, Mavid's gonna go up with both of his hands
like you did through a slap fight.
And then spin around, take out his rapier
and try to swipe at one of the...
Can I reach to one of the short guys?
I feel like with maneuvering,
you could maneuver yourself next to him,
in which case you could access one of them without
a condomset.
Then I will take my help.
That is a 17 to hit.
Hits.
How does he get so buff with necrotized flesh?
What's your workout routine?
I eat a lot.
Well, okay.
Like ghost protein. Like dead bodies. All right, yeah, you should tell me lot. Well, okay. Like ghost protein.
Dead bodies.
All right, yeah, just tell me more to the more.
As he says that.
And everybody eats dead bodies.
That's meat.
Pen.
19 damage to a skinny little ghoul.
Nice.
And as I see the ghoul, I get frightened, step back,
and my ball bearing spill on the floor.
So bonus action. I'm tossing my ball bearings again.
Answer this thing!
Oh shit!
Nice move, ma'am.
As you slice into his body, a wave of necrotic rot comes out.
Oh, gosh.
Wolf, yeah.
But he is still standing.
That is now the engorged ghoul. He's gonna look down at you, Frankie.
Ah, yeah.
You see, on his teeth and his nails,
the dried blood is more purplish and coagulated.
And he's going to both bite and claw you.
Yeah.
Does a 12 hit.
Fuck it does. No.
What?
I told you a bad dick.
Bad.
I have really bad decks.
Okay.
This is disgraceful even for the undead.
You take nine piercing damage.
Gonna uncanny dodge and have that.
Okay.
And I need you to do a con safe again.
Yikes.
Okay, I'm rolling good.
17.
Passes.
Again, I've seen worse than you.
You're very gross.
You're very gross.
And then he's going to go out you with his claws.
It's definitely going to hit because it's a 16.
Yeah.
That is a only four slashing damage. Okay. But, that is a... Pfft.
Only four slashing damage.
Okay.
But I need another con say.
I, I, I'm gonna fail one of these eventually, 13.
Passes.
Woo!
You feel an extra sting
beyond the rupturing of your skin
with these attacks.
Okay, yeah, we definitely need some
neosporin here.
And now the second goal.
The second goal is going to see
his boss going after Frankie and pile on.
If he moves through my ball bearings,
I'll have to make a DC 10 dex it.
Unfortunately, he has a few.
He has reached, so he has a ratio. Oh shit.
He doesn't currently need to move.
That was a great playing with the ball bearing,
so I'm so glad you're using your birthday present.
Yeah, well now I need more.
I don't want to pick up all these pretty balls.
I'll get you more of the very hard to make.
All right.
Is there a threat of falling prone with the ball bearing
center foot?
Only if they try to move.
OK, OK.
Are ghouls closer like zombies, or are they more like ghosts like?
They're zombies.
They're kind of like zombies,
but they have an insatiable hunger for flesh.
And the flesh doesn't even necessarily feed them,
like food does, it's more of a compulsion.
Gotcha, okay.
That is 17 to hit.
I'm sorry for being a Jew or a Super.
He's seen it.
There!
I'm a 71-year-old man and in a white whip.
What if I went after my grandpa? It's a pretty huge dude. You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with I'm a 71 year old man and in a white with

with I'm a 71 year old man Oh my god, uh, 14.
I don't know. I only have plus one to con. I've rolled 13 or higher, 12 or higher.
You escape yet again. That is again. I have really built up my immune system by living with these two goddamn animals.
Okay, why did you sit down? Come on, man. Bucket. You just sit down.
Animals. Stroke my cooking is not very good. I must admit.
The sort of lieutenant of the ghouls looks at you,
respect dawning in his eyes,
and cracks his neck, cracks his claws.
No need to crawl that, gentlemen.
And next up, that is Penny.
Okay.
So I see my dad slapping this ghoul. And I've been with my dad for long enough to know that this is how he helps
He's not very good at showing like outward affection, but like throwing himself at a problem in a weird way
I've just learned to pick up the cues. So kill the guy who's hurt pen
Don't read into it too much
Wow, I give all my ball bearing. Yes, you just, you got to see it everywhere.
Yes, I remember them.
So I see him doing this, and I say, wow, he really does care.
And then I'm going to pull out my multi-tool and flick out
like a long short sword from it.
OK.
And I'm going to rush in and try and sneak attack.
OK, great.
Where are you going after the, the cool that that your son hit, or this big guy?
You can, I would say like maneuvering the situation
because you can stay within five feet
so no one gets opportunity attacks to get to.
Would I be able to get to the ghoul on the other side?
Or would that be opportunity attack?
No, you kind of, you kind of also.
Okay, cool, because I wanna flank with my son.
Okay, yeah.
Like you get the one on the left,
I'll get the one on the right, okay bud?
Yeah, okay.
We'll get the same one, God dammit.
Otherwise they're gonna keep attacking us, same one.
Listen to Grandpa.
Grandpa, you really need to sit down though.
Can we time out?
Oh, baby, my grandpa's feeling fine.
We need to get our grandpa some water juice.
You guys need to kill these dudes.
All right.
I grew up by Paul Perrin's Adam.
This is how Grandpa shows he cares maybe. He yells at you and tells you what to do. So I'll attack the one that made it attack.
Okay. Why don't you ever yell at me? That's a good question. He did get a soft end with
you. It's called gentle parenting dead. Hahaha. Fuck.
19 and a 16, almost crit with my bonus that's going to be a 25.
Absolutely hits.
Beautiful.
Alright, so that'll be a 1D6 and then three extra sneak attack dice.
Okay.
15 damage.
And this ghoul falls to his rotting.
Yoo!
Yes!
Don't you miss with my dead!
Ha ha ha!
Um, and for my bonus action, I'm going to use my Mage Hand ledger main to try and stick
a spectral finger into the mouths of one of the ghouls and collect some of their saliva.
Sure!
Gross!
Why are you making me judge?
It depends, what is the logic here?
You poison two multiple times almost.
It could be useful.
It's actually not a bad instinct.
Which one are you putting it in the mouth of?
Yeah, let's do the big guy.
OK.
Also, I want to try to distract them
from all of the damages inflicting upon the mother.
Great.
So next up, would have been the first goal to turn,
but he uses his turn to twitch in on death turns death.
Thanks.
So that is Frankie.
Frankie, you've got this huge, engorged goal.
Yeah, all right.
Well, I've taken enough damage.
Again, I've seen worse, but you're pretty bad.
I'm gonna disengage, move back as pretty much as far as I can.
I'm not taking a rest, all right?
Now you just focus up on the other little guy.
Is it sharing the corner over there, Dad?
I'm not sitting there.
Let me get you some nuts from outside.
Yeah, I saw some, some more gals.
I'm glad you're not carrying them in your pants.
Oh yeah.
No, no, no.
It may be.
Very full as I does not.
You don't think those old nuts might be adding
to your constitution abilities?
So I'll move back and I'll bonus action help Mavid again.
Okay. Nice.
Great. Next up is Mavid.
All right.
I'm gonna go after the the other tiny goal.
Okay.
That is a 23.
That hits.
21 damage.
You basically swipe off an entire leg of this guy and now he's balancing on one.
Hey, hey, maybe I'm in a yellow tube and in a positive way.
Great job, son.
I know what I didn't like it.
Come on.
You two are in the middle here.
You're still being too encouraging.
You're like the raising of the voice.
That is now this ghoul.
Okay, Frankie's gone, but Mavid is right in front of him.
Oh no.
He is going to take two attacks on Mavid.
No, no, not my little Tati Pop.
No, not my little Tati Pop.
No, not a Tati Pop.
Hey, you can pay for the sins of your father and grandfather. Oh, they want to pay for this in their cells
What he's paying for
The first attack is a 23 to hit yeah
Okay, that's 10 piercing damage and I need a constant use your reaction
Use your reaction. Maive.
I'm getting dodged.
I'm getting it.
They've had powers and uncounted.
That was a really quite canny.
That is a natural fight for my constant.
Oh, no.
No.
Oh.
You know what I just met a girl tonight, all right?
I can't die.
Maive it, you hold up a forearm trying to fight him off the fight.
Thank you for forearm.
That's generous. No. No. Don't feed him your arm. David, you hold up a forearm trying to fight him off the fight. Fight him off the veteran.
No!
Hey, don't feed him your arm.
And you see that the place where he bit starts to fester in turn purple.
That's okay, that's okay son, that's okay.
He's gonna go after you with his claws.
Oh my god, he just crits.
No!
Okay. Okay. with his claws. Oh my god he just crits. No! Okay I pre-wrote the damage and
luckily this wasn't the most extravagant claw attack but that is eight more
slashing damage. What was it before? So you took 10 but you have it so 13 total.
And there's not really a point in doing a constitution saving throw now. Yeah
oh shit! What'd you do to my armpit?
Hey, Maeve, you feel all right?
Yeah, no, I think we should both sit down.
As you look at the spot in your arm, your vision blurs.
Oh, no.
You feel planted in your stomach, the seed of a hunger
that can never be sated.
OK, I just have a full of nuts.
I think I'm just feeling a little bad.
You should've eaten dinner, son.
You really should've eaten dinner tonight.
I don't even think it.
Why don't the peanuts taste good to me?
Oh, no.
They taste weird.
Wait, you made them not like peanut?
No.
You do it a bit.
They just only enjoy it.
It's the only one joy.
That's his only goddamn joy.
I'm just out here teaching lessons to those who manipulate the problems.
Oh, you messed up, Oco.
Uh, that is now goal number two.
Goal number two has a reach of five, and he's going to use this action to grab Genevieve's body.
And put it out the window onto where, if you see out the window, there's actually an undead bear.
What the fuck?
I'm sorry.
Sorry, I'm sorry.
His fur receding at the wounds
that were clearly from his last bite of life.
He's got sort of this plank
that looks like a carriage bed
attached to his pack saddle.
So the ghoul uses his action
to grab her body, throw it on the pack saddle, and pat the butt of this pallbear to uh...
Paulbear's good.
It's good.
To escort it to its now owner.
I can't even chuckle at that joke on the foodest rub.
Penny, that is you.
Okay um... You see Mavit is starting to shiver. I'm going to choke on the food is strong. Penny, that is you. Okay, um.
You see Mavit is starting to shiver.
Oh God, oh maybe, maybe boy.
Let's just go back to the kitchen.
Everything's gravy, maybe.
You think I got to go to bed.
Everybody focus on.
I feel like I just need to, you know,
you know that rum key,
I think I actually might want to eat his face.
I started to feel like I need either a rum. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I'm just solid. I think I have the pleasure to do it. You're the whole now. I'll get exhausted if I resist.
Give me 15 minutes.
The boss goal looks at you and is like,
this is faster than I used to work in.
Go sit next to Grandpa, mate.
Can I get out of the bear?
I think I'm gonna have to go after Genevieve.
Yep.
I jump out the window.
Okay, you're gonna get opportunity attacks. Okay, that's fine.
Okay, the goal boss.
It's gonna be a lot of three.
Hashtag goal boss.
Only a nine to hit.
Woo!
That would even miss me.
The other one is going to try, does a 15 hit?
Oh, 15 does hit.
Uh oh.
Seven slashing damage, and you have to give me a Constitution saving.
Oh boy, alright.
All of my kids are ghouls.
I always know you were little ghouls.
You did always call us that.
13.
He passed.
Woo!
Okay.
Alright. 13. He passed. Woo! Okay. All right.
Are you get out?
You see this ghoul seed looks up at you, foaming at the mouth.
Ready to sprint out of there.
Hey!
Knock it off.
Don't try to talk to the ghoul bear.
Grab the body.
Yeah.
I grabbed the body and I guess I'm just going to chuck it back in the group.
Respect! Yeah, I grabbed the body and I guess I'm just gonna chuck it back in the
Respect
With the wax and the lack of respect
Chuck the dead body at the glue
And then rolling a sacral with the dead body. Yeah.
Oh, this looks, this looks delicious.
23.
That hits.
You can roam me at D4 and do pludgeoning.
Yeah.
Two.
Magically?
Magically.
That dead body hits the second smaller gul
and knocks it unconscious.
Oh.
Don't you mess with my boy.
A bit.
Don't you mess with my boy.
A bit turned into a mechanical advantage.
We love it.
Okay.
Actually, you know what?
I'll use my bonus action to disengage from the bear.
Okay, cool.
So I'll just like hop back in the window as well.
Okay.
And then can I like use my movement to just position myself in front of the window?
Oh, smart.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, so that is background of Frankie.
The odds are looking in your favor
however this beefy ghoul is unpacked.
Yeah, he's that full.
Okay, first things first.
I'm gonna hide before I shoot.
So I'm gonna do a little hide check
Okay, for stealth that's an eight. I'm gonna guess he's got higher passive perception than that. Yes He has an 11 great not even gonna actually I can still shoot I can still get I
Can still get sneak attack potentially because of these guys being around within five feet
So I'm just gonna take a shot at him. Okay. All right, see if I still got it.
Ooh, 20 to hit.
That hit.
All right.
What type of damage is this?
This is piercing.
10 damage.
Okay, he takes this 10 damage,
but as you pierce him with this bullet,
it ruptures something in the folds of his
cool flesh and a noxious scent is released. Both Mavid and Penny give me a
Constitution saving throw.
P.U.
That's cruel.
I think I'm gonna be sick.
That's 20.
That's 20?
Penny, nothing. That's 20 that's one he had here nothing
Yeah, that's an eight
David you take
Heat poison. Oh right
Okay, all right all right new idea this guy this guy look
I ate okay the situation with the bear outside the bear is basically like a sled or something get away bear
Like again, oh, it's basically this Paul bear is for hauling the corpses back to the
Mortuary, okay, I feel so off
An idea I have an idea because I think we're not gonna be able to kill this guy in time because we're all so fucking hurt
I don't feel like myself at all. Maybe it doesn't feel like himself. I'm super hurt
Maybe you're actually starting to feel the ripeness of their living flesh is like
Interest
Okay, thank you no head thank you me hug Don't do not hug him dad I'm done with your love better. Okay. You know that.
Thank you, me hug.
Don't do not hug him, Dad.
Don't, nobody hug me right now.
No, no, no, he's not.
He's gonna hug me.
Maybe.
No, no, no, no.
All right, all right, all right.
Let me try something.
Okay, so Jellybean, give me a jellybean.
I got a pepdome in his small story.
He's giving him little candy nick things.
Okay, so I still have, so I've taken my action, I've attacked.
Actually, I took a bonus action,
but can I do a object interaction
and try something with my movement?
Yeah.
I would like to grab some of the like,
ghoul flesh.
Ooh.
Okay.
And try to jump out the window,
get on the bear's like a little getaway sled thing,
and try to throw the food ahead
and see if it'll go in the direction
of where the cool flesh is.
Like maybe we can use this as an escape.
Okay.
Love that.
Yeah, do it up.
I think that there are actually mechanics
to support this.
Sick.
Okay, great, yeah.
I do that and I say,
somebody else grabbed the body,
I don't got any more action economy.
I'll get the ghoul parts.
To get to the window though,
you'll need Penny to move out of the way
if you want to get out of the window.
Ben, you sure about this, Dad?
Just to the side a little bit.
Okay, yeah.
Okay, and then you're jumping out the window.
Jumping out the window,
I'm gonna get on the,
on the ghoul sled with some ghoul parts
to try to feed the bear to get in the direction
back to the carriage house.
Totally ghoul.
Or near enough to the carriage house
that we could then ditch it.
So there isn't just a bear running around our house.
I don't know, this is better than a spider.
Give me just a flat charisma check,
but since you have the ghoul flesh,
you can do it with advantage.
Okay.
Or it can be persuasion if you would prefer.
Ooh persuasion would be great.
25.
25, you slide side saddle onto the spala bear
and it sniffs greedily at the air
where you hold the ghoul parts. Yeah good dead bear
That's a good boy. Yeah, we're gonna give you some ghoul flesh as soon as we get this dead body at my ghoul grandson and my
And my slightly less ghoulish actual son on the sled will get going.
This is how he shows he cares.
Okay, so now that is Mavids turn.
Okay, fast hands bonus action, I'm going to try to steal the crocodile necklace.
Okay, okay.
Priority to ready.
Yeah, no, he's out of rough day, deserves a treat.
This guy smells rink. Give me a slide of hand against his strength.
All right.
Sort of the strength of this thick swollen neck.
He's so thick.
That's a 30.
Whoa!
So slick.
So slick.
I really want this necklace.
You tickle his stomach.
His head goes down.
You just slide it off.
Hey.
Strength is 17, so the necklace easily comes off of his bloated neck and he looks at you,
pissed about this, but he has two fallen soldiers and he has a job to do.
This is mine now.
Yeah, you're looking like you could fit in with us these days.
No.
You're looking like you could fit in with us these days. No.
I'm thinking if it's mouth is watering a little bit.
And then I'll use my action to jump out the window
with my grandfather.
OK, so he's not going to get an opportunity to tap
because I believe he's here to use this on Penny.
Yeah.
Toad of loo.
Ha ha ha.
And do you mind grabbing the body?
Oh shit.
No, yeah, I got it. don't worry. So now this ghoul
This guy sees that you guys are trying to steal his bear
He this is confusing to his mission. He's just going to take a bite out of Genevieve's body and say what hey the boss will understand
And he's gonna regain some hip oh
and say, hey, the boss will understand and he's gonna regain some hip. Oh!
Okay.
Maybe he from got the body, where's the body?
Don't put too much pressure on him.
He jumps out the window, he's like, don't worry, I got it!
Say, the necklace.
The necklace?
Oh shit!
Yeah!
A client who died on our watch was being threatened.
He's under a lot of pressure there, okay?
He's under not enough pressure.
Damn, I forgot my bow beer inside.
From you.
And then that is now Penny.
Okay, so what?
You are inside facing off with this guy
who's just taken a bite out of your client's dead body.
Is the door locked?
The door is not locked, you know,
because Nvidia's been coming and going.
I'm gonna use my bonus action,
let your main to lock the door.
Okay.
And then I say,
nobody tampers with evidence but me.
Don't tamper with evidence, Penn.
He's that a confession.
You're not gonna survive the hair or anything.
You mess with my boy, you get the horns.
Yeah, he bit me.
And I'm going to, yeah, I'm just going to firebolt him.
Penn, we gotta go.
I don't think I can best this guy to grapple contest that.
I can absolutely light him on fire.
That's gonna be a 23.
23 hits.
Okay, great. It's gonna take
2d10
12 fire damage that's more than he healed. Yeah, but that's still so bad
Still so healthy you light up this undead flash and it smells like a graveyard
It smells unholy.
Mavid plug in those.
I don't know, I kind of like this.
No, Mavid.
Yeah.
Check on your grandpa.
He's good.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Okay, so, in initiative now is the Paul Bear.
The Paul Bear is gonna kind of follow Frankie.
Okay, we're here, honey.
I go inside and try to grab Genevieve. What's the plan? Okay. I gotta do everything like God damn self. Oh, get my bone beer. I'm sorry. This guy
hurt my son. Yeah, he's gonna kill your son. I'm gonna go ahead. Can I try to slight of hand it?
I'll go in and do like a move where like I'm pretending to like,
I'm like as I'm going in on Penny,
I'm suddenly just gonna shift my momentum
and try to grab Genevieve.
Yeah, maybe we can do slight of hand against his strength.
Sweet.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
He only got a seven.
I did great.
I rolled a 19.
I got a 23.
Okay, I'm gonna say that you sort of faint in this big bumbling guy,
especially with these ball bearings under feet.
Lose this grip of the body.
Hey, nice move, ma'am.
You love me!
Get the body instead of the teeth next time.
They've been already wearing that.
Sorry about that.
I seized the mission, right?
And Genevieve's body, which has been in death, really
desecrated, the ghoul has taken a bite out of her shoulder.
OK.
Now she falls limp into your arms.
God, I'm sorry, Genevieve.
And then I will run back outside.
And first, I guess I'll give Penny a hellpaction. Genevieve and then I will run back outside and
First I guess I'll give Penny a hellpaction don't die
Oh there stop fighting him. I believe he has a reaction again to attack you. Yeah, okay, so he is going to try to
Opportunity attack take you down. Oh actually, you know what? Okay, then instead of help action because I don't want penny attacking anyway
I'm gonna I'll just bonus action disengage. Okay, great. So you slip out of there. All right back on the sled
Holding the Paul Bear's turn that is mavid
Okay, mavid is gonna ready his crossbow aim it at the ghoul and
Be ready to fire fire if his dad needs
the distraction. Okay great. Say the word dad, I like this guy up. Thanks son.
That is the engorged ghoul again. You're blocking the window. Yeah. I think he's
just gonna try and take Penny down. I won't yell at my son, but I will yell at you.
Why are you raising your voice in there, dude? Oh my god, that's definitely gonna hit.
His bite is going to be 12 piercing damage.
Okay.
And I need a constitution save throw.
Yeah, and Kenny Dodge is there, Penn.
Oh, I do have one.
I got one saved up.
All right.
And then you said constitution save.
Let's do that first.
That's gonna be a 19. Ooh, okay.
Actually 18, sorry.
That's still great.
And then he's going to try to claw you.
Shout out to the two crew.
Ooh, whoo.
Guessing in eight misses.
Wow.
Misses, you see that I'm wearing this beautiful
tail coat tuxedo with so many lumps in it
and he keeps just hitting my keys and my handkerchiefs
and my spare gloves and he can't hit me.
You look so buffing that.
It's all just lumps of stuff.
Aren't we all?
Don't identify with me.
Ah, this is me who fit my son, I hate you.
And that is your turn, Penny.
Okay, so I will use my Uncanny Dodge
to take half of that off, is that how it works?
Yeah. Okay, so that's only six damage.
All right, and then with my bonus action,
I'm gonna use my Maychan to gather up all the ball bearings.
Okay, okay.
And then I jump out the window.
Okay, you jump out the window.
And I disengage with my action.
Disengage, shut the window.
The ball bear has a ready my action. Disengage, shut the window. The Paul Bear has a ready to action.
Start throwing a gool meat ahead of it
in the direction of the general direction
of the carriage house without being too specific
so the bear doesn't come to our home.
Oh yeah.
You hear muffled behind the window,
this huge ghoul going,
hey, why'd you think you're going?
And the Paul Bear sprints for 120 feet.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
And the lieutenant ghoul's speed is only 30.
So you steal the body he came for, take off into the night,
and he's in your rearview mirror.
All right. I'm running out of gold meat.
Yeah, let's get some real meat.
Okay, okay, let's relax.
You're in a good mood.
And you're trying to go to the...
Yeah, we just want to get to a safe place.
Okay.
So you're on the main strip.
Sorry.
You knock over a rum tender.
Sorry.
You blow past can-dling couples.
That wasn't true to you.
Tramp wasn't.
Shit did they have that again?
No, you're delirious son.
There wasn't them.
It couldn't have been.
You sure?
Definitely could have been.
And you return back to your part of town.
Great.
The last bit of meat, I throw it in the wrong direction
as we jump off the sled.
They go there.
OK.
He runs after that. I throw it in the wrong direction as we jump off the sled. They go there. Okay.
He runs after that and this creature doesn't really have the intelligence to know what happened
Fyah and Hunger.
Alright.
Okay everybody get inside, sit down.
I'm gonna go get the first day kit.
Yeah.
I think I'm a ghoul now.
No, no, no, no.
I think I'm turning.
You just need to sleep it off, son. Okay. I give him so many kisses. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Alright, everybody inside and I take I take Genevieve's actually ask you guys get back
You notice that this snare that mavaid set and
Penny made the real deal. Mm-hmm was triggered god damn it
You know, maybe it was a squirrel
Maybe it was someone spying on you, but you know that that snare
Maybe it was someone spying on you, but you know that that snare shook someone up enough to prevent you guys from walking into an ambush. Okay, whoa. So, uh, could I maven?
Those forget everything!
Alright, that's right. See, I can almost forgive you guys for the fucking body snafu.
We got it, didn't we?
And the teeth.
Yeah. Can I investigate the snare? See, like, like, if the fibers of the rope were like shredded
or if they were cut, or if it looks like an animal dated,
or if it looked like somebody, like,
cleanly cut it with a knife?
So the way snare works, you can keep doing saves.
It looks like someone just had help.
It doesn't look as though it was super-naturally dealt with.
Okay, so it doesn't look like somebody casts spells.
No.
Okay.
I think if it was a vampire or something,
they'd probably just missed out.
Well, first off, I think they had to be invited.
Is that real?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't actually can do it with vampires very much.
Like, some people I know.
Actually, I was invited to a vampire's house.
I don't know if it works like that,
but I was invited to move in with my mom
and her new boyfriend.
Mavid, you've been to the Beaumont townhouse for dinner before.
Yeah, yeah, they said me up.
I'm gonna go ahead and rest, Genevieve, down.
That's good, yeah.
And then I'm gonna check on Mavid.
What do we know about what's going on with Mavid here?
Yeah, I feel really sick.
Give me a medicine check or a history check.
I lost a lot of blood.
Anyone who wants to can.
Can I look at myself?
Yeah.
Mavid got a six.
I'm fine.
I didn't do good either.
I got a nine.
My history's a plus six.
I got a 17, 23.
Oh, okay.
So Penny, you're the one who keeps abreast of stuff.
You're the one who's interested in, you know,
moving and evolving.
You want to know what's going on.
What's happening to me that is something
that you've actually been hearing about recently.
Something kind of new.
There have always been thieves who are lazy
and just want to loot a corpse.
And rumor has it that the ghouls are getting sick of it.
So, this is something that people have been calling
ghoul fever or Niko's regards, they'll say,
Niko's sense of regards, and it is an infection.
Is this from that saliva or is this from the bite?
It was from the larger ghoul.
Okay. Okay.
Both his bite and his claw had something extra. Oh dear.
All right, Thumb. Is there anything we can do to stop the... Do we know any physician or someone like we could take him to after hours?
I mean you guys have a business card for the hag. Yeah. In Twilight Singtorum there are
Yeah, in Twilight Singtorum there are draw elves who have clerics who can do healing, but it's very pricey
Okay, okay, well, we also have
Not to bring up a sore spot, but
perhaps
Maybe stepfather might know this stepfather. They're not married yet. Are they married? They are not married
It's you know, it's a fun conclusion. It's not a done deal. You haven't seen them together dad
And I don't want to the thing is really really good together
I mean we want to look out for maven here and if he is turning into a ghoul
Honestly, I'd rather have him turn into a vampire. So if that's your solution, if it's going the other way,
your solution is just to get him turned into a van,
all right, you know what?
I don't want him to get turned into a vampire.
I don't want that either, Pop, but okay,
you know, I'm glad you're thinking,
this is how you care, I understand.
Should we try the hat?
We might not the full business into it,
but we kinda need to talk to her anyway, right? Well, we I mean look I'm not a priority huh? No that's not what I'm saying maybe. You should see
the way he looks at her and the way she looks at him frankly. We can definitely go talk to
whoever's on the business card but you know, dealing with this type of thing, we're gonna have to give up
something. It's gonna end the being a situation where he's cursed anyway. I don't know that that's,
yeah, there's always a price to pay. Beaumont's loaded. You're gonna give us some money.
Mayvid, as they're talking, their voice has kind of come in and out and your head
Their voices kind of come in and out and your head. Oh! Throbs!
Oh shit.
And you almost sort of nod off and...
Hmm.
In a sort of dreamy hazy state, you see...
Thick, brackish shadow.
Trudy!
Cat-tail swaying in the winds of misery and on the horizon yellow crocodile
in eyes large enough to look like a setting sun.
I look at the crocodile necklace.
Are these your teeth?
Pretty little crocodile.
What was he talking to?
Why don't you do a history check on the necklace?
That's made me feel so well.
Your teeth around my neck, huh?
Are you afraid to bite down?
I'll let you.
It's a 17.
You reach out to this cosmic deity who speaks only in the crunching of bone.
Crunch me like a peanut. This is the necklace of Freg.
Freg is obviously like all religion.
It's unclear what is allegorical and what is literal.
But there is a belief that in this entity,
Freg, who is a god of hunger, that inhabits the bracus shadows of the nether
bog in the depths of Shadowfell, and the mythology around him is that in his great stomach, he has this
insatiable hunger that will never be sated until he has swallowed all life and digested it into undead
Let me feed you
I offer myself. Oh, no, don't fuck me. David. No, no, no
Do not we we've been over this you cannot pledge yourself to anyone especially in your state. Let me cook for you
Frank, I will bring you bodies
You you. Frank, I will bring you bodies. You pledge your services to me. I'm yours, Frank.
Hey, no, excuse me, Frank, Frank, hello. As you say this, the scar that has been throbbing with pain almost starts to throb with pleasure.
Oh!
Okay.
We gotta get your kid.
Yeah, we gotta go.
All right.
Out of here.
Fight, do you think Atticus will have like a position or something we can call?
Maybe, yeah.
At the very least, maybe you'll know about undead.
And yeah.
All right, all right, fine.
Anything from my boy.
I'm good. I'm good all right, fine. Anything from my boy.
I'm good.
I'm good, I said.
I open Maven's mouth and scream,
you can't have a frig.
I think all of that was internal.
Unless Maven would like to have shared that out loud.
I think of anything,
Maven was just kind of like whispering frig
everyone in the while.
Yeah.
But now you guys haven't heard of fully pledging them.
All right, how many girls is he seeing?
Frig, Judy?
Okay, all right, let's go ahead.
First off, hide, Genevieve.
Okay.
How do you want to do that?
I think.
Because this is like, you would be making an enemy of Nico
who is the main goal boss.
If it were to be discovered in your carriage house.
Okay, God, can we get rid of the goal mark?
It is a tattoo.
Do you have magical means of removing it?
Could I use a looserie script?
Looserie script has, I believe, a limit to it.
But if you use a looserie script,
I'll let you make an Archana check to try to...
Yeah, I basically want to...
Loosen the magic of this contract.
Yes, I would like to maybe even like,
I guess because this is a magical contract.
So like, they'd be able to like smell it
even if I change the look of the mark.
Give me an Archana check and let's see.
I'll do help action.
It's just a 14.
That's not gonna do it.
All right, where is this on her body? It's on a 14. That's not gonna do it. All right, where is this on her body?
It's on her foot.
Okay, yeah.
Little graphic, but I'll just peel it off.
Oh, there.
Sorry, I'm fucking sorry.
I don't know.
The ghouls.
The ghouls are gonna hear her.
I just, yeah.
Oh, no, no, that's the right call.
That's the right call.
Let's just do it the fucking old fashioned way.
God damn.
Oh, that gives me right call. That's the right call. Do it the fucking old fashioned way. God damn.
Oh, that gives me an idea.
No.
You're fucked.
We gotta get him to somebody.
If we have so many leads to follow up
we have to do it the fucking Maeve
turning into a...
I'm not really feeling that this has gone
so differently than I expected.
No way.
We did not expect that.
We're gonna use the bear as a lead.
Ice the ball bear. We've really shouldn't have retrieved the body.
Well, now the weird thing is like, yeah, I don't know.
What's the, what's the ethical thing to do for my client at this point?
And I think it's to have her not getting by ghouls,
even though she's signed for the ghouls to eat her.
But I'm assuming it's a moment of desperation.
I don't know.
Dad, let's put her in like the weapon safe.
And then I can put like a, I can put an alarm spell
on the weapon safe just so that like in case somebody comes
we'll know instantly, right?
We'll just, we'll hide, I heard you.
Give me a history check.
Okay.
23.
23 is good.
There's a loophole that you've been around this town.
So I think it's fair to say with a good history check that you actually
mean you heard of this loophole. A
reincarnated body wouldn't be the same body.
Oh, oh
You got something maybe we should bring talking about the vampire idea. Maybe we should bring Genevieve to...
Because she's got the... She had like a scar like they were healing.
But that...
Aren't we worried that maybe Atticus is the one that's looking for her?
She was stealing from them, right?
Right, but apparently Atticus wasn't the one that sent people...
After her.
So maybe we can do some damage control the scarred over vampire bites is because you you heard that she had a falling out with her
Benefactor who is Atticus a while ago, so it's just you know, they haven't been used so it over the past
You know you're something it's hard so it seems like
Whatever her relationship with Atticus was that's history at this point so maybe we can get some more information out of him
Yeah, I don't know it doesn't I mean look. I don't I don't trust Atticus, but
I think we got two reasons maybe just stopped biting the neck when he started dating mom
So that was like okay, actually just a good guy. It's not making any sense. He's clearly delusional
He's just so devoted. It does seem like a mark of devotion
Just drink this just just drink this,
and don't stop drinking.
I think I'm seeing clearly for the first time.
He's a good man.
All right.
But he just puts a wet towel over his head.
Let's just, all right.
Where'd everyone go?
We're not going to mess with the ghoul marker or anything
then let's just get her to, she, you know, she wanted to live.
She hired us to look after her, there's people trying
to hurt her, so let's try to bring her back.
If Atticus can't help us, maybe at the very least we can get some more money to get a
reincarnate or something like that.
That's true.
Okay, yeah.
So we'll show up with my ghoul grandson and a dead body. You are bringing Genevieve's body to Axe. I think so, yeah, so we'll bring Jenna will show up with my cool grandson and a dead body. You are bringing Jenna be's body to
I think so. Yeah. Okay. How do you intend to do that?
Well, I guess we're gonna have to call a car or something
Yeah, I guess do we have a carriage that we can
Is the bear still out there? I think the joke is you have a carriage house, but no care. Yeah
It's a good joke. I'm gonna carriage house, but no care. Yeah, okay. Good joke. I care
I just we all were joke. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Ironic. Yes. Can we rig up some kind of sledge
attention? I mean we lit like there's mind flares going around like eating shit and everything. So yeah, if you want to rig up a sled
I'm gonna I'm gonna rig up a sled rig up a sled. Big into the sleds recently right give me a slide a hand to rig up a sled
I mean a sled of hand. Hey, maybe it can you rig a sled? You got better slide hand?
I do yeah, I'll give my help action. It's a one-help because I'm feeling really fang. Yeah, yeah, yeah
God, that's a 29 to rig up a sled
Alright, I can't argue with that you guys rig up a sled. It looks pretty good
It's gonna move at your speed, but it looks good. Well, you know, it's gonna take a while
We can ride you this is just our shitty ass day
This is what happens when we let our clients get eaten. I'm gonna be a nice DM and say are you doing anything to disguise it as you walk back?
Yeah, we put it. Yeah, there's like a tarp situation over it
I think yeah, we make it look like a grocery cart.
We make it look like, like a new one, it's like parade.
No, no, Frankie's really trying to be as respectful
as possible, we're also just being like,
I just do not have the money for the means
or the athleticism to elegantly get this body
to a second location, but we're doing my best.
We should make it look like a garbage truck or something.
Oh yeah, that's good.
Garbage truck is an interesting idea
because it is getting to be that time of night
where the discarded buttered rum cups are piling up
and making sure.
Yeah, I think let's just disguise ourselves
like we're going to dispose of regular garbage
and not bring a dead body to a vampire's house. we're going to dispose of regular garbage
and not bring a dead body to a vampire's house. Right.
Who honestly, I don't super trust,
but one thing we know for sure is that
he was not the one that gave out the direct orders
of the people who did this.
So, yeah.
I absolutely hate this plan.
Just to get my vote out there,
but you know, I'll do it for my son.
Oh guys, you guys, it rang up.
Respectfully our first, a respectful,
her sled that looks like a garbage.
There's a woman, new your mother.
Everybody be respectful.
Oh right, yeah, you're right.
Respect.
And you respectfully walk.
We respectfully walk as a garbage can.
Through the city parts of town, you passed a mind flared.
Yeah, yeah.
You passed the hagg's hug.
Yeah, yeah.
You passed the gaysers.
You are prowling the low-income houses.
Yeah, yeah, keep prowling.
And then you get into Main Street, but it's not.
Bubbly revelry like it was earlier tonight.
The mood is teetering on dangerous.
Did they see the dead bear?
That's right.
The Maryman is kind of spilling into chaos.
People are a little too drunk.
The cobblestones are sticky with spilled buttered rum.
It's the time of night when a spat turns into a fight.
You see a little skeleton busker
with a top hat comes and starts dancing
in front of you guys.
Normally I would love this.
Normally this would be my favorite thing in the world.
Give him a silver maverick. He's good.
We're just trying to pick up garbage.
We can't deny that he's good. You're incredible trying to pick up garbage. We can't deny that he's good.
You're incredible.
I appreciate what you do.
Fucking excellent.
I'm gonna be silver.
You give me the silver.
It's just not was about the time I'm gonna give you more silver.
He calls that his top hat.
Give him a silver.
Maybe give him one silver.
That's all I have.
That's all I have.
Give him more address.
And then you peel off from the debauchery of Main Street into a street lined with beautiful
brick townhouses.
Through the tall windows, you can see that they're all lavishly decorated, almost palatial.
Oh shit, maybe you could have lived here?
Yeah, yes, whatever.
They're too big, honestly. could have lived here. Yeah, yes, whatever. Yeah, they're too big, honestly.
The thing is, you just bearish.
You see that Maven knows these streets a little too well.
Right here, down the left there, we can get
to the back way down the alley.
A couple of vampires spawned, patrolling nod,
because they know new Maven.
Hey, don't run.
Time's a few pennies, Doran.
Yeah, that's Doran.
Hey, Maven, y'all you're to see
Atticus and Ollie yeah all right he steps on a cigarette and leads you to
Atticus's townhouse a towering three-story building with chandeliers in
every window which obviously maven's been to before but even maven you would
notice it looks like it's a little more heavily patrolled than normal. There's a lot more surveillance than usual there's a lot of surveillance
generally. I should say. I always ask you how's your mother doing and you say I've
even seen her in a while. So what is this? What is this? What is this? What is this all about?
I'm going to go with Beaumont while I'm here. Okay. It's the worst thing you could have said.
As you say that this beautifully carved door opens
and you guys see Atticus and Dolly standing in the doorway.
Atticus is his money.
He's got crushed velvet suit.
He's got dagger collar opened at the top button.
A bow tie untied.
It's garish.
The man wears a cumber bond around the household.
Maybe it's polite to him.
Good evening, sir.
Dalia, your ex-wife and maybe it's mother.
She has always been a spunky girl,
but it's clear that someone has encouraged her
to use Atticus's money, but she doesn't necessarily
have the guidance on how to use it.
So her outfit almost looks like a kid when you let them dress
Oh, it's like super great. It's like
Beaded corset puppy sleeves big ballet skirt like her hair is just like a volcano of curls
She immediately goes for maven. Oh mafe it to what do I owe the honor of another fish?
Hey, my eyes, whatever. Just come here. Hey, Mavit! So why do I owe the honor of another fish? Hey, Maas, whatever, just come and say hey.
Come here, come here.
Hey, come on.
Get off me, Maa, I'm embarrassing you.
I'm grandpa.
Hey, you, I like your puffy sleeves, Dahlia.
Oh, thank you, Frankie.
And is this stuff you just bought?
You know, normally you would make your own clothes
back when we were together.
Why do you say back when we were together? Sounds really cool.
I see you say this.
She notices you for the first time and she actually maybe blushes a little bit.
Pen, I haven't seen you in a minute.
Yeah, hey, darling.
How you doing?
I'm good.
How are you?
Oh my, you know, just doing the family thing.
She looks up and down your little outfit.
That's all stacked with gear, but looking kind of buff.
You look good, Penn.
It's just lumps.
It's just lumps of gadgets and whatnot.
Well, that's what muscles are.
They're pretty lumps.
You always had to wait, Dolly.
Yeah, you did too.
Mayfid, do you want to come downstairs and see some of the changes I made to the bedroom?
Yeah.
I think we're close to getting there.
We actually Mavid.
You shouldn't be, no one should be near Mavid right now.
I'm actually feeling way better.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm a mudd, of course I can be near myself.
No, right.
Okay, stalling.
Yeah, we're pleased.
He was bitten by a ghoul. Oh, yeah, he's been seeing stuff. I leave him with you and you get him bit by a ghoul
When you know what private investigators, this is we're not gonna have this conversation again, dolly
This is just one of the hazards of the job
And that's why I want him to get out of this job and go to school
It is old all right. Yeah, the soft hand with him and that a soft and with them
It's the two of you. Come guys. It's soft parent is it's all the parent both Go to school. Maybe it is old, alright? Yeah, a soft hand with him. A soft hand with him.
It's totally.
It's soft parent days.
It's almost a little parent both, but it is.
Why would he let him guide his own path?
Come on.
If he wants to go to school, he can go to school.
I don't want to go to school.
He doesn't want to go to school.
I don't want to go to school.
He wants to be a god.
No, I don't really want to work neither.
He doesn't want to do anything.
That's why I got to tell him what to do, alright?
You think you don't want to go to school,
but I really think someday you'll thank me for this.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I took a couple of night classes
and learned some forensic science techniques
as I learned this little major thing.
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why I'm just hanging out. You need a little All right everybody look we just need them to not become a ghoul. Yeah, we're hoping that
You might have some peak into how the undead works and maybe how we could reverse this
I kind of want to eat flesh, but then the other part of me kind of wants to bring the flesh to my god friend
So I'm like you got a god now
You're a god god I'm like, you got a God now.
I thought Fred was a lady friend you were seeing.
I don't want to go to school.
I don't want to be an investigator.
I just want to serve Fred.
You're not, hey, Maven, I'm all for you doing your own thing,
but you are not serving an evil God.
I'm putting my foot down.
We just want flesh. we got a meat to eat
You have to eat me everybody y'all are in my house. You need a settle down
Sorry here we go all right
Atticus runs his fingers through a silver streak in his hair then just yours to a parlor right behind them
now
Y'all drink bourbon.
Hey, Hell yeah.
Oh, all the time.
He leads you into this room.
Everything is tough did and tassled and brocated.
The windows and walls are lined with rich red drapes.
He gets a gem-laden bottle of whiskey from a mirrored bar
with a pyramid of goblets and he even has a little vinyl drake and he's sort of
positions the drake's talon onto a record. Plants don't stop. Plants don't I'm so�. Play some fuzzy music. It's a living, yeah.
Now, what is it y'all need for me?
Okay, well.
And why are you bringing trash in my house?
He points to Genevieve's disguised corpse.
It's not so glad you bring that up.
It's not, it's actually a dead body.
So secondary thing is,
you know somebody named Genevieve, you have a history with her.
Yeah, I have a history with Genevieve.
All right, well she was murdered.
And it seems like somebody wanted to get at her secrets for some reason because her brain
was melted, her tongue was taken out.
It appears to be, yeah, don't be mad.
Thank you, thank you, mate.
Don't lick your lips when you say that, maven. I'm just curious about. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, mate.
Don't lick your lips when you say that, Mabel.
I'm just curious about where they are if I get that one.
So we were hoping that maybe there was some way that's, you know, seeing as you are
the empire, maybe you know about reincarnation or something.
That's more of Hag's business.
Of course.
All right.
Well, the good Hag's they cost some money.
So you have these really fine things.
I was wondering if we could borrow a little bit of cash
to see if we can go to one of the Hag's on the main strip.
Do you have a personal Hag that you could recommend to us?
I don't work with Hag's when I don't have to.
And when I use them, I prefer to use them
in a intel capacity.
Correct.
Okay.
I don't trust them.

But I believe everyone from Shadow fell retains a bit of suspicion of the Feywild.
All right, well let me let me ask you another question then. What is your history with GenoV?
I heard that she stole something from you. There were people with vampire marks, but they were like tattoos. Do you know anything about them?
And then what is your history with Genevieve? He looks at you all. You can see that
he doesn't want to tell you these things, but there's something in him. He makes a decision to share.
Well, first off, I can't speak to vampire tattoos.
Can you draw it for me?
It's just the two dots.
I draw two dots.
That's really good, then.
Wow.
It's just dots.
That is nothing to do with vampires.
That's a, that's the mark of all those living in harmony, folks.
Oh.
Oh.
It's a musical notation.
Oh.
This is why you should have studied the arts, maybe.
Oh, you're flipping on now, huh?
Yeah, no, this is my mistake.
Yes, right there in front of me.
Oh.
As for Jennifer, I feel accusation and you speaking to me,
but I would like to make it clear that the relationship
between a benefactor and a benefactor
is always of use for both parties.
I mean, if my money had dried up, she would have severed ties with me, same as I did with
her.
So you're the one that aimed at it with her or the other way around?
I needed it with her.
How come?
Her blood went bad.
She got the waist and disease.
Oh, how does one get that?
You would know, waist and disease is kind of, it's not like a virus or a bacteria, it's just
something that happens to the living when they live amongst undead for so long.
It's just kind of almost like an old age thing.
Got it.
So, yeah, I think I got that.
You can think I'm careless for cutting it off, but like I said, if my money had dried up, she would have left me all the same.
What did she steal from you? Was it a ring by any chance?
It was. She stole Diamond Ring from my mother.
Besides just, uh, sentimental value.
Sentimental value, is there anything else that it does?
I hate to disappoint you, but it was purely
the magic of sentimentality.
I wanted to retrieve it because it was my mother's.
So you did retrieve it?
No, I didn't retrieve it.
I have not retrieved it.
In fact, is it on?
No, it is.
It is.
Yeah, just the band.
Can I do an insight check to see if he knew anything
about trying to get this ring back?
Yeah.
Nat 20, it becomes.
Yeah.
Nat 29.
Okay, I am going to tell you,
because you're old and Nat 20, he's lying
about the ring being just sentimental.
Ah ha, okay so that's the party's lying about not the part okay.
But you did notice he is genuinely surprised that the ring wasn't on the back.
Got it okay so somebody else knows about it. Maybe it looks at his mom.
Yeah can I actually do an insight check on Dolly? Yeah I want to let kind of
see what her face is doing during this.
Yeah, yes.
Just an 11.
An 11.
I mean, you see she's a bit fretting over Mayvid.
She's definitely thrown by this whole situation.
I'll say also you see that she has a little touch of modesty,
which is that she wears a little velvet choker
over where the little bites would be.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Is that like a, I'm saving myself a marriage,
purity rings or anything?
I don't know, who knows, really.
I don't think within 11 insight,
you don't have like a...
Yeah, who knows?
Who knows?
It could be like, oh, I don't wanna flaunt this.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Um, Penny, just swigs down his whiskey too hard and tries to choke it down, but can't test
to spit it out slowly back into his glass.
He had a sip in whiskey.
All right.
Well, Adicus, thank you for the hospitality.
Can you do anything about my cool grandson?
Again, this is an affliction that mostly affects the living. So my people
aren't really going to be dealing with it when it comes to living healers. I pretty much
got drought clerics. You got hags going to the hags anyway. Actually is. I mean, hey,
maybe you can get in with that living and harmony thing. They're supposed to be healing people. Yeah, they attacked us with a fucking puppet the last time we saw them so
Okay, we would like to learn more about how the puppet works
So like we might be paying them a visit for different reasons
I think only one of us wanted that just it so just a clarification so living in harmony didn't we see stuff on
Geno Vives body to suggest that she was in living in harmony?
She had the tattoo. She had the tattoo. But the people that attacked us and said don't come near her
also had it, right? Mm-hmm. What the hell? And then you also saw the dwarven jug band have the tattoo.
Okay, so it's clearly like a secret society maybe that is spreading. Okay, so she was part of it,
but for whatever reason they didn't want us to help.
They were having a falling out with her baby.
I guess so, or she went there, got in with them,
but then they didn't have any money.
Well, you know what?
Maybe we can ask Genevieve herself
when we bring her back to life
after giving up whatever it is we're gonna have to give up.
It's true, we do not know where she keeps her platinum.
So we have to at least resurrect her
and get her to the bank.
That's your grasp. That's in your grasp.
That's in your grasp.
Oh, oh, I'm impressed now.
Now I'm thinking about the family business.
I'm intimidated by the wealth on display here, okay?
Dahlia's gonna go to you, Maven.
Maven, I'm so worried about you.
I'll be fine, I'll be fine.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I think I just gotta, you know,
collect a bunch of flesh and I'll bring it to frag and I think we'll be, yeah, we'll be fine. I'll be fine. Are you sure? Yeah, I think I just got a you know, collect a bunch of flesh
And I'll bring it to frag and I think we'll be yeah, yeah, we'll be good. I'm sorry. What may you say? I said don't worry about me
My right. I'm just gonna get a bunch of flesh
I'm gonna bring it to my god
Me
Maybe worried at all what do you think is the last thing with you. I just want to be with you. I just want to be with you. I just want to be with you.

May fit before you go we got that spider bed that you want
Oh, yeah, I take a look. I'm gonna go check out the basement
There's plenty of spiders in your bed at home son
Twenty-something-years-old and he's got a spider bed
She takes you down a spiral staircase to a very spacious basement.
You guys walk past a couple rooms.
She picks up a torch from the wall
and shows you this gorgeous spider bed.
Ah, maybe joylessly jumps up a bit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ah.
Yeah, it's nice.
In that.
There's desk if you ever wanna, you know, take up school or anything.
I don't need the desk for a school or nothing, but everything.
You could do another spider bed here where the desk is.
Another spider bed and you'll know, babe.
Yeah, and then I could buy you a tie and a sleeper, and that one tied.
Imagine tying a sleeper in that bed.
I was sleeping in the bed.
No, babe, it's so quick. Can I light down on his feet?
He's so quick.
It's true that if you had too spider beds, you'd get a...
What are you doing out of here?
Ow!
Hey!
Ben, you've fallen down.
You've fallen.
I was just checking out the floor to make sure that my son was sleeping.
Okay, we can't really walk to be alone right now.
Okay.
He's too ox back upstairs.
Oh my gosh. He's an adult, then.
All right, we gotta go to whoever is on this business card.
See what kind of deal Genevieve made.
We gotta bring her back.
Get this damn cool thing off of my stupid grandson.
Yeah, Dali, I hate to impose more,
but is there any way we could borrow a car or a spider or something something because we've been
We've been lugging we've been lugging this it's very very disrespects
I guess give me a persuasion check. I'm gonna. I'll do
Does anyone else have good persuasion? No, okay cool. I have plus 10
So I think I really want to lean in and just be like,
then we're not talking about Penn here.
We're not talking about me.
We're talking about your son.
All right.
We're talking about getting your son to not be a ghoul.
And we're asking for a ride
for he's just really going in.
22.
22.
Just with a guilt trick.
Just with a good old New Jersey guilt trip. Well, the
real subject of this is actually Atticus because he's the one who's kind of making the
decisions here. And I think with that, he'll say, as a favorite year, late wife, yeah,
you can have my spitter for the day. All, alright, we'll bring it back into your good condition.
Things got serious there for a second.
Don't talk about my goddamn wife.
Keep a name out of your mouth.
Alright, let's take these, Spider.
I'm filming.
Okay, so it's all good.
My every so mad at Atticus.
All he did was have a knife out.
So give us a car.
I'm getting the car.
Getting the goddamn car.
Benny, you're still on the base.
Yeah, getting the goddamn car. Benny, you're still in the basement.
Getting the car a little cool.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to have in the cell
the memories of my wife or something
to get you to not be at school.
Maybe it is just like destroying the room before I go.
All right, yeah, this will work.
This will work.
I love you, mom.
Anything else you wanna do before you leave?
I fill up his whiskey glasses with
More the good stuff
You can get a little yeti whiskey and it fills his glass and his glass
Anybody else have a flask? Yeah, of course. Yes, of course. You you go. Fill him up. I'll try. Yeah, I'll try.
Yeah.
I had to kiss whistles.
A vampire spawn with rains on a giant spider
pulls up with a carriage for you all to get into.
Looks like my bed.
Yeah, you're definitely an adult with a cartoonish bed.
OK, where are y'all?
I guess I'm supposed to be your chauffeur
for the evening where y'all going.
I hand them the business carton.
I hand them trudies address.
I'm looking stop, second stop!
I see your hand them trudies address.
I just kind of strange.
I thought this building was abandoned.
What? She lied to you, big.
Everyone stops pedaling.
This adult, everyone stop pedaling this adult.
Everyone stopped pedaling the adult.
All right, let's process this, maybe.
Like, what happened?
Walk us through the steps.
What did you learn?
Okay, so slow.
I was there for the date, so if you lie, I'm gonna know.
It went fine.
No, it didn't.
It went bad.
She was talking a lot about what was she talking about, maybe?
She was talking about her personal life. Okay, That's really good. Which is pretty good technically not lying
But he's so made in a lot
I mean we can do a drive-by you want to do a drive-by? No, it's it on the way
It's not
It's not okay. That's mine. We'll do a drive-by after actually should probably not be a cool
It's an excellent start. All right. Yeah, I'll give this back to you and you let me know when you want to get hold on to it
Okay, yeah, oh you know what stuff means right what you ever seen this before I had them the Takapo Alph
Alphine the copo alphine. Yeah, the care the coachman
Someone else roll me let's roll a little history check for, or even it would maybe be
perception, a perception check. I got a pretty good perception for this. 21.
Yeah, I actually have heard that before. I've dropped this spider around and I've seen it at
actually that's kind of weird in the band and building people calm whisper it up
I thought it was like maybe like a
Speak easy or something like that like passcode. Oh
Interesting wait at the same abandoned building as this address
These crashes his head. I mean I think he's in the same area, yeah.
God damn it.
All right.
Second song by Hafter.
We will actually go to where she said.
All right.
Yeah, let's go.
Wow.
You guys get an Atticus's carriage and it jostles you to the Hugs Hut.
It's a Vampire's carriage.
The seats are rigid and made of bone.
Very stately, very uncomfortable. It's too much. It's a theme is too much.
When the first wearing velvet, why couldn't it put that on the seat? When the theme takes away from the comfort
It's like the theme is too much. Yeah, every bump feels like your butt is hitting someone else's butt.
Bona-bon! Yeah. And you guys go through
Main Street. You see that same skeleton doing this little dancing routine.
He's got a throwman on the silver.
He's good.
He's got a bitty.
He's got another one.
He's going to stop dancing.
You're not taking it.
You're not taking it.
I give him our business card.
He's going to be okay, great.
He's going to stop dancing if we don't support him.
I was like skittering back through the downtown area where everybody is kind of like getting
into fights and being debauchers and like coming out of the theater.
I have like a whirlwind of flashback emotions about my time with Dahlia because we felt
all of our highs and lows on this very street and I kind of like look to my dad and to Mavid and I say,
I guess, you know, I could just never give her everything she needed,
but seems like she's doing well, huh?
She seems like she's doing well.
Yeah, she seems like she's doing great.
Okay, well, yeah, thank you, Mavid.
That's very nice of you to say,
very astute, very observant.
You know, I have, you know,
I don't know that she necessarily got everything she asked for.
I think she, there's a trade-off.
You're a good guy, Penn.
All right, everybody, focus up.
All right, yeah, we're getting to the,
yet that you got, there's something out there
in the window.
She chose money over to you and you're a good guy,
so that makes her maybe not a good person.
I just saw a lot of mom and their dad.
I just saw a lot of mom and her.
Yeah, let's roll up the windows.
There's, I think there's, I think there's,
yeah, I think so.
Yeah, that's where that stuff's poison.
Yeah. Frankie, as that's poison. Yeah.
Frankie, as you say this, you might have clocked that when Penny said he used to make
your own clothing, that maybe hit her like a pain of nostalgia.
Yeah.
Yeah, I could tell there was something there, but I'm not going to tell Penn that because
I don't want to.
Great.
So you guys all roll up the windows and crouch down
into these uncomfortable seats.
I see you go through the main street.
Focus up, focus up.
The song of the dancing skeleton.
We'll found our loves right here in this downtown.
The highs and lows.
The rush and lows.
Look at that skeleton go.
He's good.
That's the thing. It's in all these sings. He's shitting his. Got it all. Eyes and lows look at that skeleton go he's good
Sings
I'm gonna go and slip a business card into rib cage
Thank you appreciate you. Yeah, I didn't want to come by the house. I will
Start walking towards your house. Oh tonight
right now
Thank God that we triggered that snare already and
Then you guys arrive at a little
Hags hut. It is a old dead hollowed out tree. Oh boy. Alright, yep. This seems pretty standard. Yeah, excuse me. I go up. I started knocking on the tree. Excuse me. As soon as you knock, it sort of opens a
bone chime, jingles, alerting your entry, and you guys enter and you see an old woman
Hunched over a mortar and pestle
Frizzly hair is collected in a matronly bandana with faded
burgundy tattoos that clutter her arms and crawl up her neck. That's pretty cool. It's
dark
damp
there is the sound of nanoflyes buzzing hopelessly in little vials, illuminating her work, as she
sort of crushes some herbs.
And when you enter, she looks up and says, ah, Franky ventasmo, brings his little talklings
to Abelmus Mabel. What have I done to deserve a visit from the Watchdog of Twilight's Angtoram?
Is that my reputation?
Yes, you'll be the defender of the goo, you know.
The Watchdog and his puppies.
Hey, what's my reputation?
I don't know who you are.
Ha ha ha.
See, if that's why you have to differentiate yourself.
You're the watchdog's duckling.
Yeah, well, I'm actually the youngest duckling.
The future watchdog.
Future watchdog the duckling.
Let's figure it out.
I don't want to call you guys puppies.
It just feels weird.
But I guess I don't want to cook duckling.
You got to stop getting his ducklings.
There's nothing confusing about me.
His doglings. That's really confusing about this. His doglings.
That's really good for that.
Listen, he's got such a sharp mind for his age.
Yeah.
I have a chopper mind and you got that.
All right.
All right.
As you say, she wipes her hands on her apron.
And you see her apron is grass stained,
but also blood stained.
Lovely.
Miss Mabel, we would like a reincarnation if possible.
We found a business card from you on Genevieve,
who was a dancer, but she was killed,
and we don't know how she was killed.
And also, and also more important,
like my beautiful son here my boy
Ah, that's he's been bitten by a cool. I got big and I got scratched
But I'm actually feeling pretty fine now, so let's prioritize. He's like moaning with pleasure about his cut
I love my new cut. He's trying to pledge himself a good God. Yeah, I wouldn't touch the cut
So he's even more lost than he was now that he's found something
Okay, Sean to me. Show it to me.
Um, maybe chose her his other arm.
Ah, he hasn't healed her.
He's gone up with his hand.
The one with the cut. Maybe that's hilarious what you did.
That's a very good prank.
Finds this one.
Okay, she looks sort of...
You can see the dollar signs in her eyes.
Oh, God. That goal goals fever. Very common now.
Very common. No actually. Actually kind of rare. Oh yeah.
That is the dominant. Yeah, interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so you have two options based on what
you're revealing the pay. All right. I can give you something to improve the symptoms
or I can make it go away.
Oh, make it go away.
Make it go away.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
You know the make it go away?
I honestly think this symptom is bad.
I just, I want you to go meet this God with a clear head.
Let's not meet the God.
Yeah, okay.
We just gotta make his own decisions then.
Well, if you want to make it go away,
I will, the, the, the,
breakfast this.
I'm sure do you notice about me, Frankie.
I'm sure my reputation precedes me.
Yep.
I'm a blood broker.
So I prefer to be paid in blood.
Who's?
How much do you need?
To make it go away?
Yeah.
I need a quarter of blood.
Okay.
Penny echoes on his ex-wife's concern for our son,
a little rattled by it and just puts out his arm,
it says, take what you need.
Okay, she's at least dead, it's fine.
Hey, you know what, you may be pledging yourself the frag,
but I'm pledging myself to you, and I always will.
Ah, Shucks.
All right, she collects your blood. She makes an incision, she drains
it into a double-necked file. Okay. You'll find out tomorrow what that means. Oh, what?
And with that, she sort of gathers some material, some herbs, she makes a poulticeis and she smooths it onto this cut Yeah, I know it's things, okay?
Healing
He felt really good before
Now I'm not feeling it is it is counteracting this so now it really really hurts it almost burns with the
Not taking this off until tomorrow
Making this off until tomorrow. Ah!
Ha ha ha ha!
And she admires the new blood you've given her.
Well, thank you so much for the business, thank you.
Okay, yeah, the other thing, oh yeah, is Genevieve here.
Who did Genevieve make a deal with you in the past?
Genevieve is an old friend of mine.
Yeah.
I've been doing her facials for a long time. Beauty, anti-aging.
Okay. Okay. Well, she doesn't have a brain. Yeah. We're most of the person. Have you guys
shown her body? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We pull out Genevieve. Oh, dear. Yeah. Yeah. Was this a result of
her breaking a pact with you or something?
I think because you have brought the body to Able Miss Bable, she's going to be really,
really honest with you.
And you said reincarnate.
She came to me recently about a week ago, maybe less, very desperate.
She wanted precisely what you're asking for.
She wanted to change the way she looked so that the people that were coming after would stop coming after her.
She wanted to be the spell that you talk of and it's very expensive.
So I told her if you can gather all the exotic materials, I can do this for you.
How much of my dad's blood do you need?
Literally give you as much as Penny's blood as you need.
Well, I just, I'm already feeling,
do you have like a cookie or something?
Some apple juice?
I'm not talking about your blood.
I'm talking about spell components.
The spell requires some specific exotic components.
So I sent her to go find them.
Which is probably why she, Genevieve,
was hard up for cash.
Was it any of this stuff?
I show her the nostalgia drug, any of the stuff on her body.
It actually wasn't.
So did that get stolen?
Wait a minute.
What was it at her house?
Could just be at her house.
Mabel, what about um, I'm sorry, I'm a little woozy.
What about a diamond?
Would that be one of the components?
A diamond wouldn't hurt. It's a very expensive spell.
Did she give you a diamond? She didn't make it back to you. She was collecting what I said. I don't bring that shit to me. It's expensive. I don't want to get robbed.
What is with the, what do you need for the reincarnate?
Some of it's just money, you know? Because money I turn into labor.
Okay, but you understand.
Yeah.
But the rest of it is more traditional spell component.
You know, pomegranate seed oil,
Phoenix ash, unicorn hair, starfish brine,
caterpillar cocoon silk.
It's stuff like this.
Okay.
That all doesn't seem like tux yes it doesn't seem crazy
Phoenix X
okay
have you ever tried to give Phoenix X
do you know where Phoenix is come from neither do I I've only had imitation
Phoenix X starfish Brian how far away from the fucking ocean I could I could
definitely get to Brian. I feel like maybe. But they have to be from the start of age
because they are their regenerate.
Yeah, they lie to you.
A lot of the time you come up to us
and you say that it's gonna be cod
and I could tell it's not cod.
Yeah, they're giving you the bad stuff.
Yeah, the fishy industry is to rife with God.
What even is a sea bass?
Good call.
Okay, so maybe we go to our house
and see if anything stuff like lying around
there. Why don't we leave? Can we leave Genevieve here with you? You think I won't fucking
Nico coming after me saying you stole my body. Can you let's give us, we give it to the
mark. What? We'll give it to the cool mark. Okay. Alright, alright, you do it. I do it, all right, yeah, like get rid of the cool mark.
Wow, you're a savage.
I was saying I'm horrified, there's many demons over it.
I do it like a pedicure when you're taking the skin off
from the bottom of the foot, yeah.
Exfoliating, yeah, I'm just exfoliating.
I'm gonna hold you to the same standard,
do an arcana check.
18?
Oh, okay, you buff it off. She relends. Okay, fine.
He's not gonna come after you, and also, we also have his necklace, so he's already
mad at us specifically.
Yeah, this thing was mind necklace now.
Ah, the mall frig.
See? I know a magical item when I see you.
Oh, so you, you know what this frig?
Do you know what this does?
No, I don't, I don't fucking subscribe to the hunger god. That's so fucking hungry.
The hunger god. Okay, well because my son is considering pledging himself and we
don't have any of the information. He's not pledging himself to the hunger god.
Which seems like he probably shouldn't now. More of a learning.
Can I ask you, why would you pledge yourself to endless hunger that it can never be stated. Um, it was, it was, you had to be there when, when the vision came because it was
very compelling, very convincing.
Okay.
What are you saying?
I guess he said, you know, the hunger is that he wants to be fed that I could do it.
Yeah, these bright yellow eyes.
Yeah.
All right.
Maybe, maybe I've been telling you to do too much stuff
and you don't know how to,
well everybody else is like go to school
or be a detective and this guy was like,
just bring me flesh and I'm like,
hey, you know what I sound like?
I could do this.
Yeah, I mean, if Kool-Aid might have thought,
I like blood.
So, okay.
Everyone's got such high standards for me,
but this one's simple.
Anything that actually makes some sense.
Okay, we gotta talk about this, maybe. We gotta have a little sit down. Yeah, everything's like this one simple. I think the dog can make some sense. Okay, we got to talk about this maybe. We got to have a little sit down.
Yeah, everything's like this.
All right, Nabel, we will be back once we have all the supplies.
I think she sniffs at the body. And she says, I don't know how to tell you this.
She's been dead longer.
Longer?
She looks at the necrosis that is clinging to Genevieve's hands like barnacles and says,
this body, I would say you have about one more day before it passes the time window that I can reincarnate it.
What was that?
We like how we found her earlier.
Was killed like today.
This body has been bedfellows with death.
For at least she had the waist disease.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
I'm not trying to throw a wrench in your plans.
I was found. It was found. I was fond of it.
I like all the dancers.
Anyone who has a benefit,
there spends all the benefit, their money,
just to keep the benefit, their itty logical.
I'm kind of wondering if that ring was keeping her alive.
Didn't the Beaumont say that it was just a normal ring?
He said that, but he was lying.
Oh, so you think she was already dead when ring. He said that, but he was lying. Oh, so.
So you think she was already dead
when she was wearing that ring
and that was the only thing keeping her clinging?
Maybe.
Maybe there's anything you can do to like keep her preserved?
Keep her preserved.
Put her in some salts or something?
No, the foot of prize.
Oh, how much?
Oh, whatever, whatever you need.
It's gotta be less blood.
It's gotta be less blood than what we already gave. Biddy, it's got to be less blood. It's got to be less blood than what we already gave
But your brother arm dad
Okay, I have to be honest with you you can't sustain your two-six. Maybe it may be never so
He's blood. He's blood. He has a cool. You're gonna have a little bit of my blood
Okay, take a pint of your blood. Okay, cast a gentle at her pose.
You have a couple more days now.
Alright, you're so easy.
Why did you need any of that?
We could have done like yard work for her.
Because labor was in labor.
Wasn't laborious.
But she's an expert.
You're paying for all the practice.
Alright, she's good.
I'll give it to her. All right, we will be back, Mabel, year weirdo,
but we respect you.
OK, Renki, the watchdog of twilight saying,
Thor and his wandogling.
And his suda, he is doglings.
I do rave doglings.
I do little doglings.
All right, doglings.
Maybe dogling in his grandpa.
Oh, do you, do you know anything about this,
a show, a show her the phrase?
Apparently this might be a password or something
for some kind of club.
She doesn't know anything about the phrase.
A lot of kind of club, but are you talking about it?
Do you know, it's like an abandoned place.
Apparently that is a meetup
that all the kids are going to. I don't know, it's, you knowobbering talking. Do you know, it's like an abandoned place, apparently, that is a meetup that all the kids are going to?
I don't know, it's, you know, not my style.
No, it's not my style, I have it.
Yeah, I know, it's like put an actual sign
outside of your bar.
I want to know where I'm going.
I mean, normally us young doglings understand
that it's a little more fun for things to be on the download.
Yeah, I just, I never see, give me a see.
I don't want to understand that about it.
All right, yes, I agree, yeah. All right, let don't want to stand that about. All right, yes, I agree.
All right, let's hope it's not too loud.
All right, let's, let's head out.
Okay.
You guys carry on.
You head out.
Your carriage is idling.
The spider is idling.
It's just kind of like tapping its feet up and down.
All right, take us to the second location.
Do you get into the carriage?
And right now, I'm going to need actually all three of you to give me a wisdom save.
Oh, for.
But let me tell you what you're going to subtract from it.
Oh, what?
Subtract.
Subtract.
Penny, you have a minus four.
Okay.
What?
Frankie, you're just flat.
It's plus zero.
Okay. And Mavid, you're a minus ten. It's plus zero. Okay, and mavid you're a minus 10
Oh boy so easily corruptible I got a 22
Insane I rolled a net one
Good Lord I might as well rolled a net one I got Might as four so that's a negative nine for her maybe
As you guys get into your carriage and where are you telling the carriage driver to go to the location of that truity
The truity house or to be the band building I should say yeah, she doesn't own it
She was dodging you, but maybe she was going there
Your guys are in the CDR part of town,
and you remember that nearby some of the housing,
there were these surveillance gazers.
There were basically many hovering slightly feral beholders.
They're like a floating eye with little eye stocks.
Three of them kind of glitch,
as if being remotely piloted, then train their eye stocks on you.
Uh-oh.
Roll initiative, Vantasmus.
Ooh!
Uh, 22 for Mavid.
13.
15.
Everyone else feel, it might be stuffy in this carriage, but I feel all off.
I feel fine.
I feel that I feel the normal malaise that I feel every off. I feel fine. I feel that I feel the normal malaise
that I feel every day that I wake up.
I feel ill.
And my wound doesn't feel good anymore.
So, Meevid, you are first to act.
You clock that these three gaisers glitch almost
with a static.
It sounds like there's almost musical static
in there somehow.
And start to pursue you.
Hey, what are you gazing at?
Are they telling us?
Yeah, we got a tail.
You guys put the windows down, didn't you?
Because you were all crying and saying,
No, we rolled the mom and mom and dad.
You rolled the guys, so the windows are up.
The windows are up.
Yeah.
Maybe do you want to do anything?
Yeah, what are, what are these things like moving on?
You said they're flying, they're hovering?
They're not riding anything, they're flying creatures.
They're these flying eyeballs with teeth
and four stalks coming out of the top of their head
that resolve in more little eyes.
They're sort of a surveillance creature that, you know, apartment buildings or townhouses might use.
So I wouldn't necessarily have like, in a neat respect for them. It's not like a-
It's, imagine like a sentient ring cam that kind of like yells at you and they shoot little rays,
but they're not that consistent. It's like not the best security system.
But it is really weird for them to target someone
who's not coming near their apartment.
Yeah.
All right, well, you know,
I think I'm just gonna shoot my bone arrow at one of them.
All right.
Lights out.
18 hit.
Hits.
All right.
Nine damage.
Okay, Mavid, when you hit it, it glitches.
Again, with the static, weird, remote piloting thing.
And then next up is Gaser number one.
The only target for them to go after is the coachman.
Oh.
It's going to shoot two rays at the coachman.
Ah, right faster.
Sir. What? two rays at the coachman. Uh, right faster! Sir!
Hahaha!
What?
Uh, I look at the little like name tag that's on the Plexiglass to see what his name is.
Todd!
Hahaha!
So this, this Gaser shoots two telekinetic rays at the coachman.
Oh.
Um, the coachman is gonna try and save against them.
That's a matte one on the first one.
So he immediately, with a telekinetic ray,
he's moved 30 feet directly away from the gaser.
So your coachman is pushed off of the coach.
All right, you okay?
Todd?
Todd?
Okay, I look at the name plaque again
to see what the spiders name is.
Lanny.
Lanny?
Lanny be a good boy and just keep going keep going you got
there's Lenny cute spider we're sorry Todd we'll come pick you up that is
gayser number two may that presumably had to roll the window down to shoot yeah
I was thinking yeah okay so the gays are gonna come down and through the open
window that you opened,
it's going to shoot two rays at you
because you're in the window.
Oh no!
Maverick.
Freak help me!
Maverick, that is two fear rays.
Oh God, he's already scared.
So afraid.
Oh yeah, that's a six.
Maverick was afraid before he had to save.
You failed.
You are now frightened until the start of Gaser No. 2's turn.
Oh, shit.
Penny, you see, one Gaser has closed in.
Two more are still in the sky.
Coachman has been thrust from where he was sitting.
Okay, so I'm just wondering if somebody needs to jump in the driver's seat to pilot the spider.
Yes, you could do that.
You could definitely do that.
Todd is like, don't leave me here.
Don't leave me here.
We have to kill these guys, I think.
Okay, what I'm gonna do, I'll use my action to attack.
Now this gaser is up close,
so I think I can get a sneak attack on it.
Yeah.
So I'm going to attack,
and then I'll use my Mage Hand bonus action to steer.
Okay. We'll loop around for Todd. We're gonna circle back. Yeah, so I'm going to attack and then I'll use my mage hand bonus action to steer okay
Yeah, we'll loop around for Todd. We're gonna circle back. We're gonna circle around
We're circling the wagon. Yeah, we'll take a lot. We'll take the long way
That's just a 10 that misses. Oh, okay, I miss but then I'll grab the wheel or the the reins with my mage hand great
Okay, so you slapped this spider
or the rains with my mage hand. Great, okay, so you slapped this spider.
Unfortunately, a giant spider's speed is only 30 feet,
so the gaisers can kind of keep up with you.
Quick gaising at us.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
Frankie, that's your turn.
Great, shoot at the one that's close.
Okay.
15 to hit.
Hit.
Nine damage.
Nine damage, it's still alive. Bonus action help God. Mavid's already screwed.
I'm scared! Alright I'll try to help Mavid. I just I just shake Mavid. Stop being scared.
I know it's gonna be a brave dogling. You got to be a dogling, all right? Not feeling like a dogling at all.
The final gayser now goes.
It's going to shoot two rays, one fear ray
and one telekinetic ray at Frank.
Goddamn, oh no.
First give me a wisdom save for the afraid.
17.
Passes.
Now give me a strength saving throw
Four Frankie is pushed out of the car
We're gonna circle around
We'll get you when we get back. Okay. Yeah, you go get taught then next up is the driver
Which I said is when the giant spider so the giant spider dashes forward for 60 feet of
What we said circle back we said circle around we're taking a wide circle giant spider, so the giant spider dashes forward for 60 feet of movement.
What? We said circle back, we said circle back.
What's that gonna wide circle?
And then back to Mavid.
So I'm really scared.
I'm really fucking scared.
I'm here for you son.
I'm here for you.
Is that helping?
I'm only 22.
All right, I'm still a kid.
I'm just a boy.
You're not a boy.
I'm just a small little boy.
Good night again.
I'm 22.
Just screaming this is the spider run over there. I'm just a boy. You're not a boy. I'm just a small little boy. Good night again. I'm 22.
Just screaming, this is the spider run over there.
So for the conditions of me being afraid of my allowed
to attack, do I have disadvantage?
Frightened is disadvantage on attacks, yeah.
So you and you give me, and I give help,
so it'll be flattened out.
Oh, nice.
Okay.
So I'm going to swing with my rapier.
That is a 16 to hit.
Hit.
Nice. 24 damage. with my rapier. That is a 16 to hit. Hit. Nice. Oh, 24 damage.
Oh my God.
Okay, so you shoot this gaser point blank
and it lands with a wet thud on the floor of the carriage.
Glitching, twitching unnaturally
with this static sound coming from it.
That!
Whoa, made for screams. It's okay. No. naturally with this static sound coming from it. Whoa!
Made for screams.
It's okay.
No!
There's another gayser.
It's up in the sky.
It sees Frankie.
I think it's only a range of Frankie.
Give me a dexterity saving throw first.
OK.
20, oh wait, no, 17.
Passes.
And then another telekinetic ray a strength saving throw
oh no nine fails but it pushes you away from it so I think it actually pushes you 30 feet
towards the carriage wow you fast thank you dad we're circling back yeah I know
next up is penny because gaysaser number two has been slaughtered.
Okay. Hey dad, it's even going to capture one of those gays or something. It could be good security
for the house. Yeah, I don't think they could be reasoned with. Feel free to shoot one though.
No, I think with a little gentle parent. Feel free to shoot one, Pat.
All right, with my bonus action, I am going to start circling the spider around
and pick up one up.
And then yeah, I'm gonna like lean out the window
while I'm doing this and try and shoot one
with my fire bolt.
Okay, great.
Woo, 25 to hit.
That hit.
All right, 2D10, nine fire damage.
You toast up this gayser, like a little marshmallow,
and it drops down to the ground.
Ah, sweet.
Same thing, like glitching with the static melody
coming from it.
Can I do like a arcana or something on that melody?
Yeah.
Songs, maybe this living in harmony, bullshit.
You see, that's toxic positivity is what that is
Too nice it's not fucking real alright
What's wrong with being nice cuz there's ulterior motives ulterior motive
That's such a pessimistic outbook there. Yeah, you would think that
Yeah, Frank gave me a necklace and all he wanted was flush. I feel like that's fine
I feel like you're talking about Fred a lot and not me, son.
What are you talking about?
It is the vines you're studying.
Fred is my dad.
Are you?
Are you guys playing the game?
Hey, Fred is my dad.
Okay, you know, I had a kiss with,
you did, Fred is a step-up walk.
You like it all, put the ball on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay, all right, speak to your father with some respect.
And you're like a great uncle.
Oh, is that right?
Is that right?
Yeah.
Say that to me once you had a carrot.
I'm frightened again.
Get over it.
Get over it.
Penny drops his voice in octaves and says,
maybe I don't like your tone.
That does nothing to me.
Ah!
One thing.
Get on your arana, Jack.
I just got 13.
13 is enough for,
I, with arcana, I think you can tell
there's something bewitching in this melody.
And I think with your passive perception,
you would also know, you recognize this song.
Same as the Jug band.
The skeleton was singing this song.
Oh, no! Oh, no. He's so talented. Same as the drug band. The skeleton was singing this song. No!
Oh no.
He's so talented.
We keep our... our... our... our retress.
Why did you do that?
I thought that maybe he could help us out and cheer us up.
What?
It's been a long day.
We were all fooled by his...
bony wiles.
I need that guy cash.
You know what you know, my
cash maybe he just overheard
the he just overheard the car.
All right.
All right.
This was partially my bad.
I didn't keep it in the business
card.
I will admit to have been
bewitched by his day.
You endeared at us.
And that is Frankie's turn.
Frankie, there are the charred remains of one of the gaysers, but there is already a
gator in the carriage.
Yeah, I'm just going to run forward.
I'm going to get pushed basically within 30 feet of the carriage.
Great.
Run to the carriage.
Main action to shoot the one that's left over.
21 to hit.
Yeah, that hits. to shoot the one that's left over. 21 to hit.
Yeah, that hits.
A measly three damage.
Okay.
And then bonus action help Mavid with the guilt trip.
Sorry.
I really, I jog again.
Can't even turn around, pick up your goddamn grandpa,
talking shit from this far away.
Go ahead, shoot him out of this guy.
I thought you wanted to be a moron.
Show him big guys.
Show me what a fucking big shot you are. Don't let me on a big shot you are.
So the next person up is the giant spider. The giant spider is gonna use another
specific feet of movement. And I carried Todd with us. Oh, you got Todd, okay. I've got Todd.
Yeah, yes, you grabbed Todd. Thank you so much. I thought that your middle child
wanted to leave me here.
It's not my, thank you for thinking
I'm very young I guess,
or that my grandson is very old because he is.
I just assumed you were an old spirit.
You look young but you act old.
And what I'm trying to say.
Thank you, but I do look old.
Yeah, and I look old too.
I guess. We all don I look old too. I can't.
We all don't look a day over 68.
I haven't taken good care of my teeth.
I don't know.
I think it looked pretty good with this can go cap.
All right.
And as you guys collect everyone, you have enough speed now to outrun this gayser.
Okay.
Let's go.
And as this gayser twitches in its bewitched state on the floor of your carriage, in its
last dying gasp, you hear almost through radiostatic the song that turned it.
And actually the lyrics you even recognize.
Oh no, is it from the stuff on the mirror? Stanzas. In the darkest of nights and days
Give me a second chance
Give me a night like this
We'll start a new, just me and you
It's always real mess.
Hi, that was good. I think I trusted. And that's where we'll end our session.
Oh, God.
Oh, wow. We're a mess.
We have a lot of problems.
Yeah.
Maybe it almost became a ghoul.
But now isn't a ghoul, but it's still fudging himself to
frighten.
Oh wow, it is time to thank our benevolent counsel of elders.
