For having me.He's here.I appreciate it.

It is time for another Dungeons & Dragons episode. Pardon my take. We do this about twice a year. This is our summer lore. Is it lore?

It's adventure. This will be our summer adventure.

Adventure. We have special Our guest, nick, back. Thank you, guys. I love doing this. It's my favorite days of the year. We have his first time ever going on an adventure with us, Maxwell.

Very exciting. He's cool to have a new player. You're going to say anything?

Yeah. No, thanks for having me.

I was allowing you to finish speaking before I finish.

That's also a great start. Well, yeah. No, I just know how this is going to go.

I'm just going to replace Hank as the guy that gets killed in fuck.

No.

That's not it at all. Exciting. Hank was the most excited about this of all.

Max, you'll be the suggestion. You were the second person killed. Yeah, we'll see. For people who are not watching right now, you should watch because we built a whole new set. Wait, Max needs a name and character.

Are you going to announce? This is a good point. So yes, you get to name your character whatever you want, Max. But since you are the only person with a totally new character today, I thought I'd take a moment. I wasn't sure exactly what you might like to play, but I wanted to something ahead of time. I knew that you played in one of our previous adventures, a hippo animal companion. I gave you a Druid who has the power to wild shape into animals and command nature magic. So you're going to be playing a Druid today, Max. Would you like to name your Druid? It looks like a hippo? It could turn into a hippo.

I think only like a hippo, elephant, rhino, fat gorilla, some large animal.

There's other things in here.

Anaconda is on here. Butterbean. A hunter shark. What do you think about a Hunter shark? That's an athlete. That's what it says on here. A Pleistocesaurus.

I don't know what that is. You do a lot of different dinosaurs.

What about Hippo maximus?

Sure. I would definitely like Hippo Maximus. Yeah, I'll be Hippo Maximus. 100%, yes. Absolutely. Hippo Maximus is good.

By the way, Tim, also, we should say before we start, we saw your consent tweet that rock.

Okay, I thought that might come out. Absolutely.

We will be asking for consent before we fuck Hank's dead body.

As we all should. As we all should. I will just say that the tweet went up on April 20th. April 20th is my It's on their birthday. Anyone who bullied me, just a heads up, I don't bully people on their birthday. That's just a choice. Mazy also is a friend. So even though it was on a social media platform, private conversation, everyone. I don't know why everyone else is joining. Also, third, I'm right. Yeah, you are. I'm right. When you posted that, you were like, Oh, the guys from part of my take didn't see this.

I'm safe. Then three weeks later, I brought it up out of nowhere.

I just suddenly got this flood of people liking the tweet out of nowhere. I was like, I think I need to... And then somebody mentioned, I'm so glad he brought this up on the pot. I wouldn't have noticed it. I'm like, Okay, I do need to listen to this episode now and find out what happened. I should have known.

What was the tweet exactly? It was nothing's hotter than asking for consent when you know that you have it? Yes. You No, that's a fact.

I think a lot of problems-I agree.

I'm getting hard right now.

It's a lack of creativity. If someone's asking for consent, I'm just like, Well, I mean, just have fun with it. You can make anything a good time.Is this okay?Absolutely.

Yeah, it is. It's more than okay. For people who aren't watching, does everyone want to say their name and then what they're dressed as? Sure. Also, you should be watching because this is the set.

The costumes you're banging today. Absolutely.

I'm Hippo Maximus. I am dressed as Hagrid from the Harry Potter series. I didn't even know you were dressed up. Oh, yeah, so funny.

I do look like him. I definitely look like him.

A great deal. Great deal. I'm Greg, 2 Gs, one in the front, one at the end. I am dressed as an Oompa Loompa, a chocolate factory, a slave, I think. Yeah. All right, I'm Norm, the Barbarian. I'm dressed as Doc Ock from the Spider Spider-Man lore. I don't really know. I built this costume homemade because my kids love Spider-Man, so I thought I'd just put it on at home and chase them around. I bought them some Spider-Man costumes as well. Two for one. Two for one, yeah. It was a two for one deal. What's the vision like out of those glasses? I'm like a dog. I can only see black and white. Yeah, it's really bad. But I'm here. Yeah. Okay. I am Wayne the Hilldwarf Bard, and I am dressed today as some I'm a Viking. I think it was just a Viking costume. I'm not sure if it's a specific Viking. Maybe Eric the Red. I'm dressed as Eric the Red. I'm Eerlik the Warlock, and I am dressed as Shrek from Shrek 2.Not Shrek 1?Not Shrek 2.

Well, Shrek 2, he's human.Oh-oh.And.

You're wearing...He's both, right? Rarely green Shrek, which you are wearing that.Famously sexy.Famously sexy. But he is green Shrek in Shrek, too. Factor fiction. At some point.

I don't have my glasses on. You look like Nate. Yeah. Absolutely.

You're dressed as Nate. And Tim, what are you dressed as?

I'm just wearing my cloak as usual. Yeah, absolutely.

Also, your biceps are popping. What do you do for those? What do you do for those?

I just did working out during COVID. That's all. That was the trick.

It's still around?

No, I started working out. Got it.

Okay. I can notice. No. Guys should support guys.

I appreciate that. Thank you 100%.

Consentually. Absolutely.

I definitely approve of all the camaraderie. I like that 100%. All right, so let's do it. Now, our adventure today, I'm really, really particularly excited about because this adventure is the adventure that I've been running ever since we did our last one, the Sunless Citadel, long ago before our Boulder's Gate adventure. That was a year and a half ago. So ever since then, I've been running this adventure, the Forge of Fury, for the AWLs. At this point, I crunched the numbers, and I've probably run this adventure for over 200 AWLs out there at this point. So you've got some people who have gone through this adventure quite a few times, or quite a few people who have gone through this adventure once, who are going to be tuning in, who are going to be very much analyzing how you guys do on this particular adventure. So this one is one that the fans are going to have played a lot of, and potentially it's a multi-parter. It is an adventure that came out when I first started playing D&D years ago, and they've updated it with every every single edition since then. It is known as the Forge of Furry.

And Wayne, in particular, this adventure is going to have a lot to do with you because we're starting our adventure in the town of Blasingdale, which is mostly humans. We've got a lot of humans in this group, but particularly, there's a large Dwarven population in the town of Blasingdale. In fact, your family might live in this town. I would leave that entirely up to you. The legend has it that the reason why there's so many Dwarves living in the town of Blasingdale, as well as a good number of gnomes, I will also point out, Eilidh, you have heard that there was once a mighty Dwarven fortress in the Northwestern Mountains known as Kundrakar, which translates to the forge of Furry. It is said that there was a great Dwarven blacksmith who kept making these amazing magic weapons to slay his enemies, the orcs who populate the mountainside. Eventually, the orcs got sick of it, attacked the mountain, laid siege for five years, and a A hundred years ago, the mountain fell and the Dwarves were driven out. However, it said that not all the weapons that were created by that master blacksmith were found. And in theory, the greatest ax of the blacksmith, Durgeddon, has still not been located.

Many Dwarves in the town of Blasingdale believe that there is a vault located somewhere in that mountain. And whoever could get in the mountain, deal with the orcs, find the vault and get it open, would be to lay claim to one of the greatest treasures in all of the land.I.

Want that axe.Absolutely.I.

Want that treasure.100%. You would know that the people who can wield an ax like that would be mainly our Paladin Greg, our Barbarian Norm, but also Wayne the Bard. Even if axes are not your specialty, you still know that this is an ancestral relic that really belongs in the hands of the doors.I can play a mean axe.Absolutely. At the same time, Eerlik, you also know that this ax would have enchanted implanted ruins on it, that if you were to harvest the power of those runes and destroy the ax, it would have forward you immense power, much like not just one soul, but hundreds of souls that power your spirit.

Right off the bat, it sounds like he would go for the ax for nefarious purposes. He would argue that. He wants the ax to destroy it.

It sounds like everyone wants the ax.

But you want it to destroy it. I feel like the power could corrupt us all. Not me. I don't even want it. I don't want it either. Hank's family's in town? No, PFT's family's in town.

Wayne's family, in theory, might live in this town. I'll leave that up to you.Gunny's sisters. I might fuck your mom. Back off.

I might get a little basketball going.

You can tell me your mom's not here. You'll just whisker to safety.

She says no consent, nick. I knew I had it.

Absolutely. Now, Hippo maximus, you would know as a Druid of the nearby region that the orcs have been attacking human caravans and stuff for years now from the mountain that they took from the Dwarfs. You also know that those attacks have not been as successful in recent years. The Orcs have been taking a lot of casualties. Now might be the perfect time with their numbers whittled down for some people to go into the mountain. It might be that previously it was too dangerous, and now you think the number is down to maybe just a dozen Orcs or so left still in the mountain. You've heard their war cries of their leader, Great Ulf. And you know that years ago, they used to have a different leader. So at some point in the past decade, there was a transition of leadership, apparently, in the Ork tribes of Stone Tooth Mountain, where a Kundrakar used to be built. So you know a lot about the nearby wilderness. I would say that Norm and Greg, you've probably rolled into town There are a lot of barbarian tribes in the mountains around here. There aren't many Paladin orders, but Paladins often come into the mountains to accomplish heroic quests.

And there would definitely be a small nomish population, mostly of warlocks in the town of of Blasingdale. Now, this adventure is special because we haven't done an adventure yet that starts in town. So when you start in town, you can do whatever you want. We're assumed we've met each other. We've gathered in the town square. There is a nearby tavern. There is a temple dedicated to the God of Dwarves, actually, Morritten. There are also potion chops and other places you can visit. When you're in town, you can do whatever you want. And in theory, you can try to get information or maybe supplies that you think you might need for your expedition. However, to see what order we get to do things in, I'm going to ask everyone to do their first dice roll for today. You are going to roll a D20, the 20-sided die, and whoever rolls the highest is going to get to go first.

16.16.

For Norm. Norm, you have a plus two on your dexterity, so I'm going to put you in for an 18. That means you're like... Oh, Eerlik, you have a plus two also, so you got a total of a three. Eerlik, you're going to be going last right now. I got a 2.Oh, okay. Wayne. Actually, Wayne, you've got a plus 3 on dexterity. So with a total, you said a 2? You got a 5 total. You're actually still going just ahead of Eerlik. And that's Wayne. Lovely.13.13, absolutely. And I think you have a plus one as a Paladin. Greg, you're going right dab in the middle. And Hippo Maximus. I got a four. A four. Hippo Maximus, you have a plus two, I believe, on dexterity. So that actually gets you to six. So you're right smack in the middle now. So order is norm. Norm first, then Greg, then Hippo Maximus, then Wayne, then Eerlik. Norm, you're in town right now. Yeah. Literally, you see a tavern called the Four Swords Tavern right in front of you. And there is also the potion shops and temples and anything else that you might be looking for in a civilized town like this.

It's a mountain mining town, you think. It doesn't have a huge shopping mall or something like that, but you do have places you can go to.

A little cowboy town.

Yeah, a little cowboy town.

Boys, should we maybe split up? Maybe I go to the tavern, see what's up, someone else go to the potion shop, grab some potions. Yeah, splitting up is smart. I'll go to the forest, hang out with my people. Then we can meet before we leave town.

100% you could. Splitting up in town is usually a pretty safe move.

Okay, All right, so I'm going to grab a nice cold Coors light. Should we have a word to yell that we gather at one point? Yeah. Consent. Yep, there it is.

You could blow the conch maybe. Yeah, absolutely.

Let's hop in the bar, grab a beer and just can I ask some guys what's up?

You certainly can. As soon as you walk in the bar, the first thing you see is that there's a bartender, classic human bartender with a big beard. He's cleaning a glass, got a big apron, and he nods to you. There seems to be some rich merchants sitting at the bar. Then there are four, I must emphasize, mine workers, not miners, who are drinking and eating right now in the bar. Miners are drinking? Mine workers.

You're saying that there's a bunch of miners, and then there's a rich financier sitting right next to them.

It seems like they're not at the same table, but you're definitely getting the vibe like, Okay, those are the guys who work in the mines. That's probably a mine owner, would be your guess. You also notice in the back room, there's some a party going on, and you think you hear are Dwarves singing in Dwarvish.

Is it Dwarves or miners?

But you don't speak Dwarvish. Dwarves, very often, are mine workers. Yes. Right.

Okay. What do you guys think? Should I talk to the rich guy or maybe go to the party? Rich guy. Finance here. Finance here. Finance here. That's all the secrets. Let's talk to Jeff Epstein.

Absolutely 100%.

His friend might be Maxwell.

As you sit down next to him, he's going to like, Hello, good news. Good to to you. Quite a brute from the nearby mountains, I see, and he's being very rude to you right now. Would you like to talk to him and try to say something to him, or are you going to do something else?

Yeah, let's talk to him.How smart-What do you say to him? Well, I'd be like, brute. I'm actually wicked smart.

Absolutely. What have you ever said? He doesn't seem to... He just, Oh, goodness, I'm sure. Yes, quite for a barbarian of the mountains. I'm sure you're quite savvy and cunning in your tribe. Do you try to impress him with any knowledge? Yeah.

Can I fill out a quick math formula and just pass it over and be like, See this, buddy?

I will let you roll a D20. However, your barbarian norm does have a minus one on intelligence. So if you roll a D20 minus one.

I got a 16.

16 minus one.

15, 15, sorry.

A 14. So you do this pretty impressive math formula, and then he's like, Oh, goodness, you know how to do your arithmetic. There's a little, you forgot to carry the form, and you did make a slight mistake, but still, it's pretty impressive with a 14. It's clear he says, Oh, goodness, I've underestimated you, my good friend. As you try to get information out of him, you can now roll with advantage. He realizes he's underestimated you. Roll two times and take the higher number.

17.

17 is great. 6. 6. We'll take the 17. You don't have any bonus to persuasion, but you've made a great impression on this guy. You can either ask him for two things, like a potion or some money or something like that, or you could get the answer to two questions you might have. He may have information, but you'd have to think of what information he would have. You know this guy wouldn't know what's going on inside the mountain. He's never fought an Orc or something like that, but you could see what he might know or more likely what he could offer you.

What about if I asked him who knows the inside of the mountain the best?

Oh, goodness. I would say that would probably be the elder Dwarves who fled from the mountain so long ago. There are still quite a few Dwarves who remember the days 100 years ago of the fall of Kundrakar. So I would talk to them, most likely at the temple of Moradin over that away. But there's also some Dwarves having a party in the back It seems like one of them is a... They're all brothers, nine brothers, one of whom is the oldest and is having a birthday party right now. They are quite shit-faced, it looks like. And so they might be able to get information easier out of them, perhaps.

Okay, yeah. So let me... How's your character with peer pressure? Bad. Is he? Yeah. You might just get drunk. I might just get drunk.

These dors are partying hard.

But I'm bigger than them.

Yes, you are.

But they're cooler than you. No, they're definitely not. No, you're looking for their affection. You will probably get drunk with them. But I'm bigger than them. It will take me a lot longer to get drunk. I think you got to do something like you have to impress them with how much beer you can drink. Okay, so I'm going to say, Hey, Jeff, thanks for the talk. You're a creep. I got a bad feeling about you. Something's going to happen to you later. Then I'm going to go back in the party, and I'm just going to be like, Fellas, and then I just pound a beer so fast.

Go ahead and roll me a D20 plus three. Don't embarrass us. This is your Constitution saving. To see. I typically don't count dice that fall on the floor, but I can...

I can't really move. Can you give me a guess? I didn't really think this cost them through in this aspect.

That's right. Twenty! Oh, amazing. As soon as you walk in, they've got the boot going. They have got the boot that they are chugging from, and immediately you're like, Fill her up. And you chug the boot in record time. You would definitely beat whatever the record is in this town. You're the fucking man. Maybe the world record. This is sick. They're losing it right now. They are your best friend at this point.

I want everyone to succeed. We'll get back to Dungeon and Dragons in a second. It's brought to you by Coors Light.

Celebrate responsibly CORE's Brewing Company, Golden, Colorado. Now, more D&D.

Do you tell them what mission you're going on right now? All nine of these brothers are chanting, Norm, Norm, Norm, Norm, Norm, Norm, and they start singing songs. You don't know Dorvish, but as they're rocking back and forth and got torches over their head, you keep hearing the word Kundrakar in their songs. It's clear they know information. Did you want to ask them anything or do you want to tell them anything?

What do we ask? I need help. Anyone? Maybe find out where that ax is. Where the ax is? Hey, you guys have never seen that ax? Any of you guys missing an axe?What that ax do?For thousands of years?

The oldest brother, the one whose birthday it is, was asleep in his food. And then he sits up suddenly, Yes, I remember the ax. Our father was there the day Kundrakar fell. And he told me that Durgedin locked his ax away and couldn't get to it in time to use it to fight the Orcs. And then the key was cut from his belt and it fell into a chasm. Far below the mountain. But I remember him saying that the vault was in the Eastern portion of the mountain. That's all we know for sure. You've confirmed the vault exists. We know it's in the Eastern part of the mountain. But problem, the key fell into a chasm. He says either it's lost forever or maybe the orcs who can see very well in the dark, they might have tried to find it.

That's his best case. Should I try to just put this eldest dwarf in my back pocket? Yeah, bring him with you.

You do think that one of these Dwarven brothers would come with you right now? This is Magnus Steelto is his name.

Yeah, Magnus Steelto. You want to come party with my boys?

Oh, yeah. Hell, yeah. Absolutely. You seem cool, Norm. I'm coming with you. Magnus seems like he's a fighter, but he's not a fighter on the level with us. He's only got maybe a dozen hip points. He's got one ax attack per turd. He can help, but probably help more as cannonfodder than anything else.

No, we got to protect him. I like him. Yeah, Magnus, still to me. You're with us.

Greg, that'll bring us to you next. Very good turn. Yeah, great turn.

Very good about that turn. Huge turn. Did you get into a fight with anyone? Since I'm the Paladin, I think the temple makes sense for me to go to.

Yes, absolutely. The moment you arrive, even though you're not a dwarf, they see your armor, they see your holy symbol, you're a holy night riding into town. Incidentally, Greg, important question. At this level, you get a steed that you can summon. It's not an actual animal. It's a spirit, a celestial, an angel that takes animal form. It, of course, can just be a horse, or it could be something else, if you prefer, like a dire wolf or a big warthog or something like that. Do you have a particular animal you want to be riding into town on?

A moth, please. A moff? Yes.

Yeah, hell yeah. Absolutely. Okay, cool. You come in at night, of course. The lights of the city twinkle below you. You landed, and people are talking about this moth that has been stable in the town square. I'll say, Yeah, you're riding. They don't want you flying the mof around town, but you're riding this giant moth through the streets right up to the temple. They see your holy symbol, your holy moth. They say, Brother, welcome. Please come inside. You can tell there's a very old door priest in a withered chair that they're carrying around a little bit, and there are other Dwarven priests roaming around. You'll also notice they have a whole tabernacle set up with holy healing potions inside of it.

Do I have any trinkets on me?

You do. Yeah, absolutely.

I want to give the old guy a ring. I want to give him a holy trinket.

100%. You give him a little sacred relic from a town that you came from. Immediately, this old guy, Thank you. Yes, this was once in Dwarven hands long ago. We shall put this back. They have a whole reliquary where he puts this ring on the shelf with all of the others. You just earned advantage on any persuasion checks you do. I think you have a persuasion bonus of plus four or something on your sheet, I think.Oh, yeah. Under skills, I think you have pretty good persuasion for getting information out of people. Under skills, do you seeYeah, that might be yours.

I have persuasion plus six.Plus.

Six now.Oh, my God.Amazing.So if you're trying to persuade people, you have advantage. You roll two times and make the higher number, and you add a plus six to your total.

Okay, yeah. I would like to ask him what he knows about this ax.

Absolutely, 100%. Roll two times on the D20.Tell me what you get as a higher number.I feel like I'm crushing it. A 10. 10, good so far. And a four. A four. So we'll take the 10 plus 6. That's a 16. He's going to give you two solid pieces of information. What do you want to do about the ax? What he knows about where it is or what he knows about its power? Let's go where it is. Where it is. He confirms that the vault exists. It's somewhere in the Eastern part of the mountain, but I know we already got that information. So he's going to confirm there's not just an ax in that vault. There is also other magical weapons, magical armor, and tons of gold as well in that vault. He also knows that the orcs would have been able to find the vault. It was not a secret vault by any means. It was a huge, 30-foot-tall, 30-foot-wide vault door. The orcs would be able to find it. But unless we haven't seen any orcs carrying any rad magic axes, they could not have gotten the vault door open. It's a very secure vault door.

You'd have to be really good at picking locks, or you would have to be able to find the keys somehow.

To this elder dwarf, I would like to know, is this power worth having or will it corrupt? Is it bad to be? Should it stay locked away?

Great question.Thank you, guys.He says, The good news, no, Durgeddon was a great blacksmith. He was almost cursed by vengeance. His family had been killed by orcs. That's why he started making these amazing axes. So he imbued his fury into them. But Dorven furia only makes axes even more radical. It didn't make it cursed or anything. But at the same time, there are many dark forces that seek to claim this ax. Having it is a danger, not because it will to interrupt you, but because other people will be like, Oh, you're an ally of the Dwarfs? That makes you an enemy of me. Orcs would not like this ax very much.

Good guy with an ax, though.

Absolutely. Better than a bad guy with an ax.

I'd rather be a good guy with an ax than a good guy without wanting to come across. Yeah, he'd rather have an ax and not need it.

Exactly. And certainly better than letting it fall into evil hands. An Orc could use this ax against us, potentially. Though I'd say Durgedin's ax might burn in their hand or something like that, you would know.

Am I Am I out of questions to ask?

I'd say that was more of a half a question. Okay. One more little piece of info.

Is there anything you can give me to help me?

He, when he hears that you're going to conjure Kar, absolutely, with even just a half of a question, gives you not a regular, but a greater healing potion just in case you need it. So I'm going to mark down, you've got a greater healing potion. If you need to either feed that to somebody or drink it yourself to gain back hip points, you absolutely can. And it'll heal back 44 plus 4 hip points. That's a good chunk of your health. Fantastic.

Yeah, I'll kiss him on the top of the hand and go.

Absolutely. Yes, 100 %. He puts on the rings. You can kiss the ring. And the other priests salute you and wish you well on your quest to Kundrakar, Greg.

Greg just gave an old man a ring inside of a church and then kissed him. Oh, I got gay married.

I think you're married. The old dwarf also realizes it the same. Oh, gay married now.

I have an old husband. Does that mean he has to come with us, too? Honey Moon?

Actually, he wants you to stay home and take care of the temple with him. But he says, First, you know what? If you want to bring this old as fuck dwarf, you absolutely can.

All right, first of all, that's my husband, so shut100%.

Yes. Apologies.

Did you marry him for money?

If you ask him for consent, he can bring him with you. Oh, he's a priest?

Yeah. Yeah, fuck him. Let's bring him.

Absolutely. 100%. My gay husband. This is the high priest. I'm not gay, but I do have a gay husband. Absolutely.

Hey, Happy Pride Month. Thank you.

Absolutely. We'll just high priest Mr. Greg.

Why does this always happen?

Greg, amazing turn. That will bring us then to Hippo Maximus. Hippo Maximus, what would you like to do?

You said there's a forest close by.

It's a forest. I would like to go there.Be with my people.Be with my people. You have a small grove of Druids. Yes, 100%. As you find your people. The best part is, other people would not have an easy time finding these Druids. They're secreted away. You also have a secret language you share with the Druids that only you all can speak and stuff. Also, you have magical spells that allow you to talk to animals and do other nature magic, talk to plants, that thing. So make sure if you have any questions regarding your spells, let me know. But when you rendezvous with the Druids, I'll say there is a Hyrophant, the high Druid of your circle, is an old woman, and she says, Oh, greatings. Welcome back, Hippo maximus. Her name is Giraffe maximus. And so what would you like to say to her or ask?

I guess if she knows anything about this ax, I feel like we know a lot about this ax, though.

We do probably know a lot about this ax.

That was a really good question, Hippo maximus. Do you know anything about this ax? We know about the ax. Well, I feel like that was what I was supposed to say, but I don't know if that-You can ask her about the ax. Who do you think it should have been? Exactly the same thing. Who do you think the MVP should or who should have been? Something like that. The MVP. Yeah.

Go ahead and roll a D20. You have advantage because this is your Druid circle, so you can roll two times. However, I don't think you have the persuasion skill. You have a plus one on this.

Maybe ask where the ax is. Ten. We already know where the ax is.

You got an 11 total. You're only getting one piece of information or maybe an item or some other.

I want some items. Just get some food. I would like some items to get me to the journey of the ax. Yeah, he needs energy. He needs power.

She'll give you a choice. She could give you a healing potion. Those are always helpful. You can't have too many of them. She might have a little something that might be able to augment your magic. She might also be able to set you up with a guide who could bring you to the mountain without any trouble. Are we all bringing dates? Otherwise, you would be our best guide. It would be the survival skill for guiding us to the mountain.

So everything would go through me.

Exactly. I would be the leader. I would like to be the guide. Yeah, in a certain sense. Travel agent. I would like that to be me.

Does he lose hit points? It's been almost 20 minutes he hasn't had anything to eat.

I mean, You could make a constitution save if you get too hungry.

No, I just need to be the guide. That's all. Don't worry about the food intake. That's Henry or Eerlik, is the one who worries about the food intake. That's true.

He gets very cranky.

He gets very cranky.

Got to keep that blood check.

Max, what are you doing?

I'm taking the guide. You're going to take the guide? Yeah. Absolutely. She gives you the guide. Guide, you can choose any animal you want. I'm going to say it's a bird who suddenly flies down from a tree and lands on your shoulder. I'm good with a bird. I like a bird. Absolutely. What bird? Do you have an eagle? Yeah, bird. Let's go birds. Yeah, go birds. This eagle comes souping down, lands on your shoulder. And this eagle has a magic spell already cast on it. So you don't need to cast anything. It can talk. And this eagle tells you that not only can it guide you the mountain, it also has seen something strange. It knows that there are two. It takes you a while. It's like the air that is hard to see through. You're like, You're talking about smoke? It's like, Yes, that. And he's seen two sources of smoke on this mountain. One, It seems like it's coming from a campfire from the front of the mountain, the western side, where we've heard the mountain door into the mountain is. You also know the eagles saying there is smoke, apparently, at the top of the mountain for some reason as well.

But you don't know what that would be about necessarily. You got us an eagle guide who's going to be able to lead us to the mountain and have some interesting, weird information. Good stuff, Hippo maximus.

Can the eagle talk to everyone else or just to me?

I will leave it up to you. The eagle can talk to me. I would like for the eagle to only talk to me. The eagle will whisper in your ear. It doesn't understand names, this eagle. I think it's trailing. It's just, I'm an eagle. What do you mean? And you can name it whatever you want. Big Dom? Big Dom, yeah. I'm silly. It says, My name is Cah, but I'll go by Big Dom. Absolutely. Big Dom, the Eagle, 100%. Now, Hippo Maximus, you still have a bonus action, but I do want to take this opportunity just to let you know the only thing you can really do with the bonus action is turn into an animal. You could turn into an animal right now if you wanted to, or you could wait until a future turns. I'll save that. Save that.

I'm going to save that. You got a Double Eagle. Why not Double Eagle? You have a chance to Double Eagle right now? Yeah, I'm going to have a double eagle later. I'll bet you. It's going to be tough to fly in a cave, man. You don't know that. You shouldn't double eagles. You don't know how big his cave is.

All right, we'll remember that. You can definitely wild shape into an eagle, by the way. You could turn into a same size eagle or bigger eagle.

We'll remember that you didn't double eagle. I will double eagle at some point. I'm not wasting my double eagle this early. You'd just be an eagle for You could stay in your eagle form for future turns. Sounds like he's not confident in his eagles. No, it's too late.

I'm staying in my certainty. We could save the double eagle. Absolutely.

I don't want to double eagle too early like the football team did last year. We got a double eagle late in the season. Huh? Think about it. I thought about it. Makes sense. Yeah. Think about it.

Good turn, Hippo Maximus. Absolutely. That is going to bring us to Wade.

So Max found a bird with his-Yes. Okay, that was his entire turn. Way to go, dude. You found a bird in the In the woods. You're good, dude. You guys don't know anything about guidance. You know nothing about guidance. You want so badly for this entire game to go through you. It does go through me. You're trying to match this game. He just said that I am the leader of this tribe right now leading us to the mountain. Actually, Big Dom is.

Yeah.

Big Dom can only talk to me, though. Big Dom only has one person's number here. I met Big Dom one time, and he liked me way more than you. You're talking to text Big Dom the Eagle right now? We're talking about an eagle in this game right now named Big Dom. I don't know what you guys are talking about. Is the eagle safe? If an Orc chief, are the eagles good against chiefs?

This eagle only has three hit points. It's not a particular.

If the eagle's sleeping on the ground and my guy, what's his name? Steel Toe?

Magnus Steel Toe.

Magnus Steel Toe. If he just accidentally steps on the eagle. His name's Steel Toe.

Yeah. Literally.

Yeah. Okay. All right. I hope that doesn't happen. Was this eagle really good two years ago? Now there's questions about whether or not the eagle will still be good?

Does seem to have some silver feathers.Let's.

Just say, let's hope this eagle stays safe. Don't say it. What? It would be ashamed for the eagle to die.

Don't say the shame word.

Okay. Pft, no pressure. We all have dates. Yeah, you have dates. Jack says a bird he's going to fuck. Okay, so I'm amongst my people, right?

You are amongst your people. You know, there's a huge Dwarfen population in town, maybe even your family.

Okay, so what else is in town?

You know there's the temple of Mordon, temple of all Dwarfen kind. There's like, potion shops and stuff, the local bar. If you're looking for something else, like a shop that sells other things, potentially, there's a lot of different stuff in this.

Is there a weapon shop?

There's definitely a weapon shop.

I think I should go to the weapon shop.

The issue is that we have weapons already, and it would be hard to get better weapons. The better weapons we could get are magic weapons. They might sell those, but they're generally pretty expensive. That's part of why we would go to the mountain is to get some magic weapons. But if you go to the weapon shop, they definitely do sell weapons. You know what?

I'm going to go visit my family.

Absolutely, 100%.

They They get very angry if they knew I was in town.

Absolutely. They probably have weapons and stuff, too, amongst your family, 100%. You can definitely go visit them. What house would your family live in?

I think in a cave.

They're Dwarfs. So they might have an underground house below the city's streets, 100%. So they got this cave set up. Immediately, your parents, open arms, you're my boy, welcome home, Wayne, Wayne. Absolutely. Your brother Garth is there as well. Garth? Sorry, your cousin, You've got all your siblings, all your cousins are gathered in the cave right now. They are all embracing you, and they're all having... They're putting together a dinner now to celebrate your arrival in town.

Okay, great. So I'd like to talk to them and see what they know about how to access this cave door, where exactly that key might be. You haven't seen your family in so long. That's what you're going with? Yes. It's transactional.

Absolutely. You're particularly good at persuasion. You have a plus 6, and you have advantage on them, of course, because they're your family. You can roll two times on the D20 and take the higher number. Okay. Sorry, that's a D20.

That's a 30. D20 is here. Okay, D20. Here we So 15. Already great. Pretty good.

And seven. Seven. With a 15, that's plus six is a dirty 21. And with a 21 in all, you get three things from your family. I am going to say you mentioned, are you focusing more on other ways you said into the mountain or to get into the vault?

I think we need to find where the key is, right? Because we can't break into this vault. It's too secure. I think the only way that we can get in is if we have the key.

They tell you that they had heard from an Orc that they didn't capture, but a local caravan was fighting against the Orcs, they took a prisoner. One of your brothers was on that caravan. And he says, When they interrogated the Orc, Orc, they said that one of the Orcs had found a key recently. And it was just a casual note while they were torturing him. And you didn't think anything of it, or he didn't think anything of it until you mentioned that you're looking for the key to this vault. At the same time, no Orcs have shown up with any gold or magic axes or anything. So even though apparently an Orc has found the key, they still haven't opened up the door yet. They're too dumb. Now, absolutely. You could ask more about what do you know about who found the key or why are they not opening the door, or you could ask something else.

Can I borrow some money?

You could definitely borrow some money. They're going to give you 100 gold pieces, and with that, you could buy two healing potions or buy other stuff.

Okay, so do I get another question or is that it? You get one more now. Okay. I want to see which one of my family is really ride or die. Who wants to come with me on this great adventure?

100%. You can definitely get one family member to come with you. Would this be your cousin, your brother, one of your parents? Who would you like to bring? Sister.

Sister? Back off. Do I have a sister?

You could have a sister. Is she hot?

Like full blood sister or step-sister?

Is she hot, Tim?

You could have a step sister. I have a step sister. Yeah, I'll bring my step sister. Step sister.

She immediately wants to know your question. She says, What are you doing, step brother? And she is going to join you on your quest 100%.

She sounds hot.

Yeah, I'm silly. That's her. She talks like this. Good to see you. Absolutely.

Yeah, is she like a-I'm stuck. Is she a strong woman?

I'm going to roll her charisma, first of all. Your sister's super fucking hot. Stepsister. Stepsister. She got a 19 out of 20 on the hotness scale. That's wild. That's a solid 9.5..

What hockey team would she be a fan of?

18 out of 20.

Those are huge doors and titties. Dude, that's so sick for you. Yeah, they are. What is your other question? What hockey team would she be a fan of the Edmondton Oilers?

Yes. Okay. Yes. Absolutely. Yeah, 100%.

Does she want to join?

Yes, 100%, and you know that your sister has gotten drunk in bars. Stepsister. Stepsister has gotten drunk in bars. Sometimes had some fun. Is it sister or stepsister? Stepsister. Stepsister. I keep saying sister, stepsister.

Are we certain or could we find later that it's just sister.

I'm going to roll for that secretly. Okay. I'm good to know.

I know we did secret rolls here. I hate to bring this up, but I have actually been following your stepsister on Instagram for a while. Oh, that's messed up. Not just on Instagram. Wait, respectfully. Did you know she was my stepsister? Might have. We still don't know. Yeah, we still don't know. It could be your real sister.

She doesn't seem to have an OnlyFans. Okay. I just rolled for it, I have an OnlyFans.

She swiped up on my story, said LMAO, it wasn't even a funny house.

We have a business opportunity, it sounds like. Unless you want to name for your sister, I'll name her Vera, unless you have someone else. Vera is good. Absolutely. So your step sister Vera will be coming along on this quest with us. I'm going to roll how good she is at combat. Hey, your step sister is great at fighting, actually.100%.Total package. Total package, 100%. Absolutely.

Before I leave, can I just say what's up to my step mom?

Absolutely, yeah, 100%. You say what's up to your step mom. Absolutely, yeah. 100%. You say what's up to your step mom. Absolutely, yeah. 100%. You say what's up to your step mom. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You give her a little tip of the cap, 100 %. Just roll me a D20 real quick.Eleven.Eleven. Anything could happen. Anything could happen here, 100 percent.We'll.

Never know what happens.We'll.

Never know. Absolutely. Wayne, great stuff. Absolutely. You got 100 gold pieces, some good information, and a stepsister. And, Eilidh, what would you like to do on your turn?

I think I'd like to go to the potion shop.

Yes, absolutely. So the potion shop, incidentally, is run by a Dwarven family. They are a couple. It seems the husband is a wizard. The wife is an artificer, actually, a tinkerer who crafts things. But it's the husband who makes a lot of the potions. And as you walk in, you notice that they're doing a thing that you've seen Dwarves in human societies do. They're both walking around on these elevated mechanical shoes that they can crank to give them extra height and stuff. And they're walking around in the shops. So they're actually towering above you right now, but they would be eye to eye height with a human, basically. And as soon as they see you, they go, Oh, welcome. Come on in. Come on in. And they press buttons on their shoes and go down to gnome height level. And what would you like to do or say here? You're noticing there's a ton of healing potions as well as lots of other potions.

What other type of What versions are there? I want to get something that can deal with orcs.

Roll me an arcana check to see.

One of the orcs knows exactly about the key. We got to hunt down those orcs. We're going to be running into orcs. Orcs are going to be the enemy in this quest.

It definitely seems that way.

I think in PFT, I texted you something.

19. 19 plus your Arcana bonus, which I believe is a plus six. Is that right? Plus five. Plus five, absolutely. Okay, with a 24, you're going to see four different types of potions. You see, first of all, a potion of invisibility. This potion would allow you to turn invisible until you cast a spell or attack. Once you do that, it breaks invisibility at that point. You also see a potion of Hero Heroism. If you drink a potion of heroism, you become braver and you get extra hit points, basically, when you are in combat. Were there other potions you were hoping to find around here? Any potions that you were hoping would have a specific effect of some sort? You definitely find healing potions of all different sizes and shapes. Invisibility, heroism. Anything else you were hoping to find here, maybe?

Heroism, I heard you do that once, and then you're hooked for life. I'll do the Invisibility.

Absolutely, 100%. They tell you that the Invisibility A Potion is about 300 gold pieces. You could try to persuade them to give you that for a discount, or you could try to steal it, maybe, or something along those lines.

Maybe I could steal it and take them hostage, kill one of them and take the other one hostage. Why are you trying to murder these nice people? I need a date. It's a mom and pop shop. I need a date. I'm running out of time. It doesn't sound very consensual to me. Is there a love potion there?

There could be. I'll say the other ones are you find a love potion and you find poison as well. Those are the four other types of potions you found. So invisibility, heroism, poison, and love potion, as well as two types of healing. How much is the poison cheaper? Poison's cheaper. Poison's only 50 goal pieces.

I think I'll do the poison.

You could afford one of those for free, and you could haggle with them to get more poison if you wanted. Roll the haggle? Yeah, that'll be a persuasion. Or are you being mean to them? That's a one. No, If anything, they're like, Wait a minute. We don't know if we should really... What are you going to do with that poison? That's the penalty for the one. Are you going to do something bad with that poison? Are you going to do something bad with that poison? Is exactly what they said.

No, I'm doing something good and give it to an enemy.

Well, okay, but who's your enemy? Orcs. Orcs? Oh, well. And they look at each other, they just slide the potion over. Good haggling. Absolutely. They don't give you an extra healing poison potion, but they give you one poison. Sorry, one should do the trick. Exactly. Yeah. And so you got a little poison, Eerlik. That was only your bonus action. Was there anything else you wanted to ask them for or do here?

Maybe ask them what this poison could kill. How big of a thing could it kill? I think I have a good idea with that. My gut tells me that...

They would tell you it deals like... They tell you how lethal it is. It's like 2D8 damage, you think.

This safe is in the west. Everyone keeps talking about the east, but if it was in the east and they have the key, they would find it.I.

Feel like it's a bait and switch.We think they found it, and they've also... One orc has found the key, but they haven't opened it. Earlier, we definitely concluded that you can't hide this door.

How do we find an orc that has seen the safe? Is there an orc that's found the safe with the-I just want to say this is why we usually try to kill Hank.

Apparently, we know an orc has found the key. We think the orcs have probably located the vault because it's super hard to find. If you're looking for an Ork, they'd all be up at the mountain.

My family already told us all this, Hank. Everybody's told us the East. Everybody. We literally know this. All right, let's go then. We're not going to kill you for this, but strike one. You've got your tiny thing of poison ready to go? Yep.

Absolutely. You got your poison 100%, and that will bring us back again to Norm.No date.

By the way-Alone?

Sorry? Is he alone? He's alone?

Yep. So he's outnumbered?

That does seem to be... Neither the gnomes is coming with you on this class, unfortunately, it seems you got your poison. He's a ninth wheel. Yeah.

Absolutely. He had a donkey right there. It was so easy for him.

Norm, you can do anything you want in town, or you could be the one to set out to the mountain with the help of, in theory, the Eagle Guide who's guiding us.

I might have made a mistake. I didn't realize Max was on the text chain. I sent something. Oh, yeah. That was such a shame. But you're not even at a point where that could even be possible.What would I say? I'm not saying it. I don't think Max has his phone. I might have texted and said that we got to kill Max's ego ASAP. Okay, can I get all the boys? Can we go? Let's do it.

You can rally the boys 100%. Let's I lead.

Whose turn is it? But you said, Let's gather the boys. I lead the boys to the mountain. You're so pressed over being the leader of this group.

It's your turn right now. In theory, on your turn, you could skip to the point where the eagle, essentially on the eagle's turn, has already led us to the mountain, and then do your turn at the mountain.

All right. Eagles led us to the mountain. Do I need to explain that I was gone for 15 minutes and got gay married?

No. Only if you want to-No, they saw it coming. There are these four very young, totally helpless dors who can't do anything, who are carrying an equally helpless old Dwarf on his shoulders.

No, this is how the conversation went. Go ahead. Tell me. Hey, there's probably something that's going to shock you. You've never thought this ever.

I'm gay.

Yeah, cool, man. We knew.

All right. And the Dwarven, high priest, says, Apparently, I am, too. And this is all news to him.

Imagine coming out in oompa loompa costume. Okay, so we're at the mountain?

Yeah, at the mountain. And what you can tell, partially with the eagles help us, you see that on the western side of the mountain, there is, in fact, the trailing smoke of a campfire. If you circle around to that side of the mountain, you can just barely glimpse through the trees two shapes around that campfire. It looks like there are a pair of orcs on look out duty. One of them is sharpening his ax. The other one is picking his nose right now, not really paying attention. Behind them, you can see a tunnel that goes into the mountain, and the elves have told us that that tunnel leads into the mountain to the mountain door, the front entrance. But the eagle also points out really only to you that there is another larger plume of smoke at the top of the mountain. Even though it's not your turn, you can point this out to your teammates or just keep it to yourself. I would love to point this out to my teammates.

That's a smart move. Okay, so what do you guys think? Should we go to the top? You just know how helpful this is. Should we just go in the mountain? Should we get inside the mountain?

Right now, you know that if you just try to get inside the mountain, those two Orc lookouts are going to see you as soon as you start approaching, and they're probably going to be hostile immediately. Yeah, but I'm a fucking bad. Certainly, yes.

Let's kill these two orcs and then go into the mountain.

Absolutely. You can rush right at these orcs. With your bonus action. You could rage. And then with your action, you could run into Mele with one of them and swing your ax at him. Would you like to go for the one who's picking his nose or the one who's sharpening his ax?

Yeah, let me just kill the one with the ax.

The one who's sharpening his ax, absolutely. So you're going to roll. Oh, before you roll, are you going reckless on this? Yeah, fuck it. Yes, obviously roll two times. I'm going to mark you down as reckless, Norm. So if they attack you, they'll also have advantage.

That was a two.

Two, so ignore that one. Not great. Oh, shit.

I got to stop doing that.

That feels like how Doc Oc would roll his dice, too, is with the glove.

That is a 14.

14 plus 6 for your... Oh, plus seven for your great ax attack. It's Dirty Dirty 21. That is absolutely a hit. And you can roll a D12 plus... Oh, sorry. Are you using a great ax or a great sword?

Whatever one was going to cause the most damage.

This is the one that's going to cause the most damage, the great sword. 96 plus 6 damage.

I got a five and a three.

Five and a three, so eight plus 6, 14. Brings the sword down to a single hit point left. He's almost dead. You thought you killed him. He's holding this gas across his throat. He stumbles against the stone wall. And then just as you think he's about to slip down to the ground, he grits himself, pushes himself off the wall, grabs his ax, and begins trying to stomp back towards you. The other orc is like, Fuck, and reaching for his ax right now. I'm going to roll to see when they are going to go. Luckily, they are not going next. The Orcs are only going to go right after Wayne's turn. So, Norm, you just went. These Orcs don't get a chance to go until after Wayne's turn. That means we still have Greg, Hippo Maximus, and Wayne who get to go who can try to finish this. And I apologize, you get a second attack now.Oh my God.That turn is over. Would you like to go reckless on this attack? Yeah, fuck you. And are you attacking the full strength orc or the one with one hit point left.

Let me just go after the full strength. Let me just get them both down so that we can just leave them to clean up. All right, so the D20?

You're going reckless again. Absolutely. D20.

That's a 19.

Already a hit. And then just roll again to see if you crit.

That is a 4.

We'll take the 19 plus 7. That is a solid hit for another 2D6 plus 6 damage.

That's a 6 and a 2.

6 and a 2. Another 8 plus 6 brings this guy down to one hit point left. There are two Orcs. Each of them is at one Hit Point Left. They're just looking at each other like, Who the fuck is this guy? They're terrified. Now you can tell their strategy has changed. They don't want to fight you anymore. They're looking at the tunnel behind them. They're about to run to get more Orcs. But, Greg, you are up next. What would you like to do?

I would like to ask Wayne's stepsister to watch me.

Absolutely. 100%. As a bonus action, I will let you make a persuasion check to make sure she's watching you very closely. 20? Yes. 14? 14. You have a plus six, so that's a dirty 20. She's watching you and licking her lips.

Oh, shit. I'd like to take off the top portion of my armor.

You do 100%. You've got just the shoulder plates and nothing else. Cool.

I say watch this, and I will charge in. Absolutely. With a divine smite.

Yes, absolutely. Now, there's two ways you can You could either run at them with your long sword and attack, or you could charge on your moth with your lance.Either weapon will allow you to divine smite.That's pretty cool.

I think I know what I'm doing.

I'm going to charge with my lance. Now, I will also point out each of these orcs has one hip point left. Your divine smite deals extra damage. You can do a divine smite many times per day. You could do one now, but it would be overkill, do you think?

I want to impress this woman. What does your gay husband think of this? He's so old. He He's probably not even paying it. He doesn't care.

I'm sure he doesn't care. He fell asleep. Is he rich? He has a lot of authority. He's not rich because he's a priest, but he has a lot of authority in town.

If you were to die, would nick inherit anything?

Yeah, I would say you would be kept as almost like a pet concubine in the temple.. The old concubine of the high priest, the old husband, we've got to feed you and take care of you and give you housing for your whole life.

Man, I feel as if that was a misstep.

Now, all you need to do is hit one of these orcs with your lance. You get to roll a D20 plus, I think, six for your lance. It is plus six. Absolutely. So So 10 and 6. Absolutely. With a 10 plus 6, that's a 16. That is just barely a hit against the Orc. You don't even need to roll damage. Your lance goes right through the chest of one of the Orcs. With your divine smite, they explode from within. What does your divine smite look like? Is it glowing light? Is it holy fire?

It's a glowing purple light.

A glowing purple light seems to fill up this creature from within. The Orc is this big, brutish, green-skinned warrior with tusks coming out of his mouth and beady red eyes. You see his eyes turn purple. Purple light comes out of his mouth. He explodes. Pieces go everywhere. You also get two attacks per turn.

Can I turn around and wink You get the stepsister before he explodes?

Absolutely do. You see him explode. No, heavens, no. While you're winking at her. You couldn't finish the job. She grabs your shoulder, shakes it, and goes, He doesn't even look at the explosions. That's a cool guy. I do what I can. She's interested. You get another attack, and you could do it against the other Orc outside now, if you wish. Yeah.

Finish this guy off.

You also think you notice that there is a little bit of noise coming from deeper in the mountain. You could do something about that if you want, or you could just finish off this other Orc. I'm going to finish him off. Absolutely. To another D20 plus 6. 6? 6 plus 6. I'm sorry to say he's only a 12. You turn around to attack the other guy with your lance. He dodges out of the way. I'm sorry to say. Oh, that's embarrassing. So we got one Orc still trying to run. Great turn, Greg.

What does my step sister say about him not being able to finish off two guys?

I think she's actually pretty disappointed She goes, Oh, yeah, thinking he's about to kill both orcs, the first two enemies we've seen, and get credit for those kills. She goes, Oh. She's devastated. You can tell right now. Hippo Maximus, we're up to you next.

So I still need to finish off one of these orcs.

There is one orc left. That is true. All it would take is a level zero spell or something easy. This orc only has a single hit point.

So something that maybe the eagle could take care of.

The eagle could actually deal enough damage to kill this orc. If you tell the eagle to swoop in, the eagle can attack. I would like to prove his value to this team here. Please, Romy. And I would like for the eagle to finish this man. Please roll me a D20 plus three.

What does he need to finish this man? What number?

He needs to get a 13, and you get a D20 plus three to hit this orc.

This is very easy time. This is like a buccaneer that you have to finish off. You should crush this buccaneer. It's 50-50. It's 50-50. So it's not that easy. You should crush him.Inferior opponent.Get.

10 or higher.

That would be a one.

One. Oh, my God. With That means is- You suck, dude. As this orc is stumbling around- He got so many ones. This was the second Orc who Norm attacked, so he got a slash across the chest, I'm going to say. He's bleeding profusely, trying to hold the wound together. He looks like he's trying to... He grabbed his ax. He looks like he's going to run for the tunnel. He sees this eagle comes swooping down. He goes, Oh, fuck. Dodges out of the way. The eagle crashes into a rock and flops onto the ground and is flapping around for a little bit, like, trying to get back up. The Orc seizes opportunity, takes his ax and goes to bring it down upon the eagle. I'm going to roll one free attack against the eagle now.

No, please.

He got a total of a 14, which is enough to hit the eagle Can you kill it? Your eagle has... Yeah, this is a guarantee. Yeah, that's enough. The eagle is slain, I am sorry to say. It had three hit points. It took six damage. That's not a knockout. That's an insta kill. I'm sorry to say.

That's on you. If you had been able to kill... All you had to do is...

You still have your full turn.

Oh, my God. Do you feel like you were ever confident in the eagle?

Including more than the eagle. I just wanted to show the eagle's value.

Well, the eagle's He's dead now because you can't fucking do anything. But you guys didn't kill it. You guys wanted to kill it. You guys didn't do anything.

The eagle tried to call out, Remember me, but he got a one. The eagle sucks. He didn't even die crying. He didn't even get it out.

That's bad coaching. It was a good Start to the season for the Eagle, and then it really crashed and burned pretty heavily there when you thought that it was going to be pretty easy to finish the job, and it just didn't finish the job.Literally.

Crashed and burned.That's very specific.

About an eagle you knew for five minutes. Yeah, no, that's not true. That was an eagle. It was A good friend of mine for a long time. No, really, you sent him to die. I sent him to be a hero.Not a good friend. You couldn't defend your own fucking eagles. If you had a 50-50 shot, would you send your friend and be like, It's 50-50 if you live, but go ahead. It actually wasn't 50/50. He wanted to prove his value.

He wanted to prove his value. The Orc, by the way, just grabbed your eagle by one of the legs and is still trying to run inside the mountain, but now he's in one hand also carrying the eagle. All right. I need to avenge my eagle.

I need to avenge my eagle. So it still only has one.

It only got one hit point. It should go well. This Orc is doing a lot for one hit point. It will go well.

Okay.

What do I need? What do I need? Well, it depends on what attack you're doing. You could use a level zero spell like produce flame, and that would still kill this Orc. You could hurl fire at him. You You would do a thorn whip, which is like the scorpion move in mortal combat. You shoot out a vine, it wraps around him, digs thorns into him, and then you do the get over here. Thorn whip for sure. Thorn whip is pretty rad. Roll me a D20 plus 6 to see if you hit with your thorn whip.

That would be 17. There we go.

17 plus 6 is a 23. You wrap your thorns around his neck and it pulls his head right off. You see the Orc's head go flying through the air. He falls dead to the ground. Well done. The Orc is slain. We didn't need that eagle anyway.

It only caused you your fucking eagle, dude. No, I didn't even really care about that eagle. You didn't get a single hit off that Orc. You got no hit. I killed that Orc. You could You just killed the Orc. You instead got your eagle killed. The Eagle wanted to show his value to the team, all right? He went down a warrior.

The Orc dropped the Eagle.

He went down for all of you, and all of you are showing disrespect to the Eagle. It's a waste of an angel. Yeah, you could have just done the job yourself. You're overlooking the selfish aspect of this whole transaction. No selfishness.

You are absolutely looking at the dead Orc who has just fallen to the ground. Hippo maximus, that would have been your full turn. But I will say you also, as well as Greg, notice you're hearing noise inside the mountain, apparently. Can I ask, do you have the perception skill by any chance? I do not. You do not. Just making sure. Absolutely. Then Wayne, that is going to bring us to you next. What would you like to do? The two Orks outside are slain. We did a great job with that. And the eagle is dead? The eagle is also dead, yes.

Steel Toe is alive, right?

Steel Toe is still alive. My gay husband's around. Gay husband is still around. Yes, 100%. You're cheating on your gay husband. That's fine. Incidentally, I never gave you a chance to send Steel Toe into battle. He's slow. He was hatching up. But Steel Toe-On your turn, anytime you want to send them into battle, you absolutely can.

I wouldn't do that to Steel Toe. I'm a good friend. It sounds like there's a bunch of orcs that are deep inside this mountain, right?

Sounds like it, definitely.

Okay. And since I am a dwarf, I would assume my stepsister also has advantage when it comes to deception and persuasion?

Yeah, I would say so, 100%.

Could I send my stepsister into the mountain and have her try to seduce all the orcs?

Yes, you absolutely could have her do As he starts approaching the mountain, first, I'll give her a bonus action perception check to see if she notices something. Roll me a D20 for her to see if she's noticing something as she gets closer to the tunnel.Oh, that's notThat's six? That's not great. That's six. She's not noticing anything. She just go down the tunnel, she calls out, Oh, there's the door here. Check it out. It's open already. I'm going to poke my head in. You can see her looking at these big double doors that the orcs have apparently left open, big enough for an orc to come in and out. These doors are so big. Apparently, they got lazy and got sick opening them and shutting them for the look out. So they just leave them open. You see her stick her head through, and you hear what sounds like two orcs very far away from your stepsister going as they suddenly see her. And she goes, Hey, what's up? Good looking. And you can roll a D20 plus whatever your deception is.My.

Deception is plus eight.Plus.

Eight, absolutely. She'll also have a plus eight.

That's a nine.

Absolutely. With a nine plus eight, I'm going to roll to make sure these orcs are tricked. The first orc is like, whistling at her. The second orc, let me reroll that one. The second orc sounds like is trying to shout something at the other orcs. You speak a little bit of Orkish, and you can tell he's trying to warn the other Ork. This is a trap right now. He got a critical hit, you think, on his analysis of the situation.

Okay, so I guess the entire goal here is we're trying to find the key, right?

Correct.

So we need to find out, do we look at either the Ork's bodies outside?

You could search them right now.

I want to see if the orcs outside have the key.

You search them, they don't have any key.

No key. Okay, so I think, should we just go in and fuck these Orks up? We got to get through this door. Okay. So I'm going to go up to my stepsister and be like, Hey, are these guys bothering you as I go in?

Absolutely. She goes, No, they're cool. And she points them out to you. You see in this room, you're looking at a ledge that then drops off into a vast deep chasm far down into the Earth.

Sounds like that's maybe where the key is.

And so you are remembering the key fell into a chasm long ago, apparently.

Which we had an eagle to fly down there.

The Orcs would have... Sorry, the Dwarfs would have had this chasm when they originally controlled the mountain, and they probably had a narrow bridge, like Khazadum in Lord of the Rings, where it's a narrow bridge that the Balrog was on. But that bridge is broken long ago. You can tell that the orcs tried to rebuild a bridge, but it looks like their bridge is really shitty. It's just one rope going across these chasms and then two handhold ropes to climb across. And you can see that there are two orcs on the other side of the chasm. One of them has a bow and still has an arrow trained on your sister, your stepsister, and on you and is going back and forth and shouting at the other orc. The other orc had raised an ax like he was going to cut the bridge, and then he put his ax down. He's whistling through his fingers.

Okay, so it sounds like these orcs are like bouncer, and one of them is like, Oh, that's a hot chick. You guys can come in. The other sees my whole crew, and they're like, Too many dudes.

Exactly.

Okay, can I bribe the doorman to get in? Because I've got my gold that my family gave.

You You have the gold, 100%. You can shake the gold bag at the Orc who's still suspicious of this trap right now. Make me another Deception check for yourself. Okay.15.with a 15 plus 8 for Deception. You go, Hey, want this gold? And the archer goes… And because you got that number, I'm going to say he tries to cross over the bridge to come to you. So does the Orc with the Ax, I'm going to say, now that he's not being told not to. So the Orc with the Ax comes over to try to make out with your stepsister. He succeeds at crossing the bridge, and he starts going over to your stepsister. The Orc with the bow does not do so well. As he's coming over for the gold, he's almost making it. Do you put it out of his reach a little bit and make it hard for him to reach for the gold?

Yeah, I've got it on a string, and I'm just pulling it back.

Perfect. You're pulling it back, the string. As he reaches for it, you go for one last pull. He lunges. He's like, Oh, I know this guy's going to try to yank it. He lunges to try to grab it, slips on the rope, screams, falls down into the chasm Well done. This other Orc gets very upset immediately, stops trying to make out with your stepsister, turns, and then immediately realizes, My friend was right. This is a fucking trap. Takes his ax, and starts getting ready to fight one of you. Your stepsister is like, Oh, what's going on? Well, I thought we had something here. But this Orc is now very suspicious of both of you. Can she-I'm going to roll him into initiative. He's going to try to do something on-We're going to instantly redistract it. He's going to go after Norm's next turn unless we stop him. Anything else you would like to do on your turn, you can inspire somebody as a bonus action.

Yeah, can I inspire my stepsister? I would like to inspire her by maybe playing some Edmondson Oilers' pregame music.Okay.

Absolutely.and.

Have her react to that however she might.

I'll say she gets another Deception check on this, or this will be Persuasion. She immediately tries to make out with this Orc. That's a 16. 16 plus 6 is what she would also have for persuasion. With the 22, the Orc doesn't even get a roll. He cannot resist your stepsister. She goes up to him and grabs him and pulls him down and starts making out with him.

Wait, no. First, she says, Do I have your consent?

She says, Do I have your consent? The Orc goes, Fuck, yeah. She pulls him down. They start making out hardcore right in front of the bridge right now.

Wait, ask again. Ask again because he has the consent. Now ask again. About what? The consent because she said, Fuck, yeah. When you ask for consent, when you already have consent, that's the hottest. That's what's that. She says, Do I have your consent? He says, Fuck, yeah. Then you say it again. Then she says, Do I have your consent? He's like, That's so hot.

After you're making out, she learned the ways your secret family techniques, and she pulls away just a half an inch and says, Wait, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. He goes, No, come on. Come on. Fuck. He's losing it. She's grinning like she knows exactly what she's doing. Finish him off. It's just foreplay. Well done, Wayne. Absolutely. Both of the chasm orcs, one fell into the chasm, the other one, hardcore making out with your stepsister until further notice.Nice.That is great.

Am I getting hot watching this?

Roll to see if you're getting hot.This is to resist getting hot.This.

May be your sister.Okay, 10.It could be your sister.

It could be your sister. You're doing okay resisting how hot it is. You can voluntarily fail the saving throw and just accept that it is hot.I'm.

Going to give in to myself.You.

Give in and you just accept as much as I might be trying to resist it. I can't deny how hot this is 100%. His tusks are getting in the way of her little bits of Dorben beard, which All of your sisters would have just a little bit of that going on. But it's hot. She does have a 19 charismas. It's hot Dorben beard. That is going to bring us from your turn, Wayne. Very well done. The orcs actually... Oh, sorry. Those were the orcs outside. They're dead now. Eerlik, we're up to you now. Well done. What would you like to do?

I think I'd like to disguise myself as an orc and then go deeper into the mountain to set a trap on the other orcs.

Absolutely. So you can use the spell. I believe you have the spell Disguised Self. Is that what you were thinking of? Immediately, you create an illusion of a smaller-I want to be the Orc that fell in.

So people think I'm alive.

That's perfect because the Archer Orc was a little bit more gnome-sized. You can definitely create an illusion of the Archer Orc. He's got that classic skull cap and everything and a gnarly bow. And now you look like him immediately. You can try to cross the bridge. You don't see any other way to go besides crossing the bridge, but you know it's very dangerous. You could either look around as a bonus action for a different way to go, or you could try to cross the bridge.Let's just cross the bridge.Absolutely. Go ahead and roll a D20. You'd be adding either athletics or acrobatics to this. If you have either of those skills. If not, you have a plus two.No.

Athletics here. Can't jump.

16. 16 plus 2 is an 18. You cross the bridge. No problem. It's a little tough going, but you make it to the other side of the ledge. There is a big set of double doors right here which you could easily open, and you're just coming home, so you might as well... No one would be suspicious of this. You open up into a larger cavern, and there are a bunch of different ways to go. With the little bit of perception you have, I'm going to give you an idea of what you hear down each of these tunnels. But I'm going to start on your left-hand side, on the northern side of the room. You're going east direction right now. On the northern side of the room, on your left, you see two different hallways. One goes west, back the way you came, and then one goes east. And there is a door along the northern wall that has someone very big and very loud snoring on the other side of it. You can roll an arcana check right now to see if you know. That sounds bigger than an Orc. Six or nine. Which one?

The dot would be at the bottom. Six. Six. Do you have an arcana bonus under skills? Yes, plus five. Plus five with an 11. I'll tell you this, it's definitely bigger than Orc, but it's smaller than a giant. So something in between those sizes.

It sounds like this thing is really lazy and it's sleeping in and it's missing work, maybe.

Absolutely, 100%. Absolutely.

I feel like this might be Harry Potter. They put the big giant thing right in front of the door that they're trying to guard.

You also know, you showed those three ways to go West, East Hall, and then that northern door to a bedroom, apparently, or something snoring there. And then on the right-hand side, the Southern wall, there are two tunnels that are sealed up with these wooden frames that are then plugged up with mud and waddle. It's giving you like prison bar vibes. The orcs would come over, yank these plugs out. They're not doors, they're more like plugs, and then put them back in place. You think you hear from one, some like, growling, and then from the other, some people maybe talking. And then there is one final tunnel that goes to the Southeast, ahead of you and then to the right, and you can hear an Orc chanting down that tunnel. So you got six different ways to go. You're disguised at the moment. Which way would you like to go?

What do you guys think? Should I go? I'm not going to be able to talk. We're with him, right?

Not yet, no. Not yet because we haven't crossed the bridge yet.

I'm disguised, though. I'm on a disguise mission.

It's actually better that you're alone right now.

I feel like if I go to the giant, he's not going to give me much information. If I go to the orcs, I can maybe find some shit out. Okay. Trust your gut. Yeah, it's your call. All right, let's go to the Chanting Ork.

You go to the Chanting Orc, absolutely. You go down that tunnel. It's the wrong choice. You immediately see that there is an Orc woman wearing heavier armor than usual. She has a spear that she is waving over what looked like some potion bottles in front of a roaring fire, like she's cooking them. And then you notice her spear is dripping blood. You're looking for where the blood is coming from. This is hot. You do not see where the blood is coming from. It's magically generating on the spear, and she's dripping the blood into these bottles while chanting and doing some ritual. As she turns, it's clear that she's expecting you to know this already, but you're shocked slightly when you see an eye patch. She has an eye patch with a crazy bleeding eye symbol. Do you have the religion skill by any chance? I do not. You do not. Roll me a D. This wouldn't be Arcana. Roll me a D20 plus your arcana is plus six.Plus five.Plus five. That means you would have a plus two on religion. Roll me a D20 plus two.I got a 13.13 plus two. This is just enough with a 15 that we're dealing with an Orkish shaman dedicated to the Orc God of Bloodshed, Grumpsch the One-Eyed.

It is said that the Orc God lost his eye fighting the God of the elves, and as a result, he hates elves now, and all of his Shamans gouge out their left eye. That is what she did ceremonially, and now she has a cool eye patch and can do, you think, battle magic and blood magic and stuff like that. She's a very important person in an Orc tribe, usually, and she starts talking to you In Orkish, you don't really speak much Orkish. I will let you try an intelligence check to see if you can speak with her in the language that she knows to be your native tongue. The nine. Nine. Nine plus two for intelligence. I will say that you can try to talk to her, but you have disadvantage on your checks to talk to her. You think what she's saying to you is, How is the chasm? She's saying something about the partner, the guy with the ax who would have guarded the chasm with you, but you don't know exactly what she's saying. Would you like to say something to her?

Yeah, maybe I act like I'm really drunk.

That actually works pretty well. She starts waving you off like, Oh, you're drunk right now, man. You do know that in the cavern you just went through, there were barrels of ale and crates of food and stuff. So the orcs clearly have beer. She knows that she thinks you're a little drunk right now.

And what are you saying to her? I'm really drunk right now. I want to go to sleep Can you point me in the right direction?

Absolutely. Where's everyone else? Go ahead and roll one persuasion check on her. Eighteen. But you have a disadvantage because you're not speaking Orc very well. Roll one more time and take the lower number.Seventy.Seventy? That's amazing. She goes, Dude, you need to sleep it off. She almost starts switching to calm in a little bit, thinking that it'll help in a way. She's speaking very slowly is what she's doing, so it's easier to understand her Orcish. She's pointing at things so that you understand. She brings you... First of all, she starts bringing you back. You notice she had three potions in case you wanted to grab any of them, but she's leading you out of this room, and she is pointing to bedding and animal skins on the northern side of the cavern you were already in. And then she tells you something that you do understand. She points at that bedroom and says, Listen, if you really... She's looking at you, looking at these animal skins disappointed because she's not telling you any new information. And she says, That's great Ulf's bedroom. If you want a comfortable bed, you can take it up with him right now.

He gets the comfortable bed. If you want a comfortable bed, you can go talk to the chief, is what she says. And you can do with that information whatever you wish.

Now I want to stumble back to the top of the bridge and wait for everyone else.

Absolutely, 100%. Do you bring the Shaman with you or do you tell her thanks and stumble back? I just tell her thanks. Thanks. She starts to go back to making her potions. Now you know the shaman didn't have any back up in there. Shaman's alone in that ritual cavern.

And we know where the chief's bed is.

Absolutely. I'll also say you noticed this. We needed that.

If you want to take the chief out, take him out when he's sleeping. Yeah, true.

And the Shaman house in her room, there was a big bonfire that went up through a hole in the roof, producing a lot of smoke, almost like that tunnel went up to the top of the mountain or something like that.

That's the smoke we saw earlier.

And that is going to bring us to Normster. Next, Norm, what would you like to do?

Okay, I think we got to get the boys back together here. Then should we go to where Hank just went?We need to find this key.You're going to find this. The key is definitely at the chasm underneath that bridge.

We had heard the key fell down into that chasm, and the one hope was that it's either still down there or that the orcs found it and brought it back up. But if they did, and we think they did, we did hear a rumor that they had found the key. But then if so, which orc has the key and why haven't they opened the vault?

So Ulf would definitely have the key. You would probably know that. Ulf would have the key, I think. The chief. Chief.

You also know that you haven't crossed-The chief probably has the key.

Yeah, it's the chief fork. All right, so let's go to the chief fork's bed and let's fuck him up.

Yeah, absolutely. You could get to the bedroom of the Chief Ork. Now, I must emphasize, you heard him snoring and you know for sure with your eleven, whatever he is, he's not a giant, but he's definitely not an Ork. He's bigger than an Ork, whoever this great old chief is.

Got no problem.

You could definitely get across the bridge. Can I bring everyone with me? You can't bring everyone with you. Everyone's got to make one check to get across. It's not a hard check, but it is a risky one. You can try to cross the bridge or look around for a different way to get across. But crossing the bridge is easy for you because you get advantage on athletics and you have a plus. Seven. All you need is a 10 or higher and you get two rolls.

Okay. All right. So I'm going to cross the Bridge. That was a six, I think.

Yeah, already a success. But if you get a crit, I'll let you carry people across.

That's a nine. No, that was a six again.

So the higher roll was a six plus seven with a 13. I'd say I'd let you just barely bring somebody across. I think it would have to be Wayne, the door for that.

Okay, Wayne is going to come with his roll. All right.

Absolutely. You two are both across the chasm, and then you see all the same rooms that Eerlik had just seen. You know that there's two prison doors to the south, the room that goes to the Shaman, two hallways, one goes west, one goes east, and then the bedroom of Great Ulf, apparently.

So Great Ulf, we're going seal Team 6 on this motherfucker.

Absolutely. You go up to his bedroom door? Yep. Still snoring in there.

Wait for the whole squad or we're just going in? It's my turn, so I don't know if I can wait. It's a sleeping guy.

You got to go. What you could do is you could ready, but the problem is you can either ready to kick the door open in Russian or ready to attack and just hope he's right in front of the door. But based on the snoring, you know he's not.

Does he only have one eye?

We know the Shaman only has one eye. Great Ulf, we have not seen yet.

Can I wait for my turn? Can I wait to roll my attack until everyone's with me?

The problem is if you do that, then what you'll be readying is the move to get to Great Ulf, not the attack against Great Ulf. What spells do you have? Or you could ready and then hope that Great Ulf will come to the doorway.

Yeah, let me do that. You could do that.

Absolutely.

That's a good idea. I'll just lightly knock on the door. A little scratch.

What is that? Absolutely. I'm going to roll to see if Great Ulf wakes up, but he has disadvantaged because he's so sleepy. No, he does not wake up yet. Do you try to pound any?

Yeah, a little bit more.

Okay.

I say, Police, open up.

Okay. He starts to wake up, and then you hear another noise inside of there. You hear the snoring. And then animals inside. It sounds like dogs started waking up as well. I'm going to roll them into initiative.Oh, boy.Okay, so we got them going on an 11. All right. And they will go right after Greg's turn, that means. Norm, that was your turn. The chasm orcs continue making out with your sister. The one orc is continuing to do that. Then-step-sister. Step-sister, 100%. Absolutely. We don't know that. Greg, that'll bring us to you next. Okay.

What do I need to do to get across the bridge?

Since you said you have a moth as an adult. Can I fly my moth across? You can fly your moth across. I'll fly my moth across the bridge. Absolutely. You fly across.

Can I bring the hippo or is he too big?

I would allow you to bring one other person across. Typically, if you have a horse, it can carry more than just barely two people. So I'd say if just to drop him off, you can carry him across. We're both slowing down.

Wait, can he bring Hippo maximus and Hibble Max's Eagle?Eagle's dead. I think he should bring the dead body.

It is a shame.

Where is the dead body of the eagle?

It was in the hand of the dead orc who he took the head off of.So you can lovingly pick up.I.

Forgot about it.Of course.My bad. I think we should bring the dead body with us, too. Yeah, let's do that. We'll bring the eagle. Can we bring the dead eagle as well? You definitely can. The orcs already have the eagles in their hands. Can I just give it to the moth as a treat?

Your moth immediately tries to eat the dead. I'll give it to your respect. Actually, you know what? I'm happy that it brought light. The circle of life. It's the circle of life.

You got to kill his mouth. Yeah. I would like to fly across. God damn. I'd like to fly across and then head to the door as well.

Absolutely. You head over to the door that the snoring has just Stop that. Would you like to ready an attack or would you like to just bust in?

I'd like to cast Zone of Truth, please.

Really? What? Absolutely. The area of Zone of Truth covers a 10-foot area. Are you casting it such that it will spill into Great Elf's bedroom? I want our crew. Okay, absolutely. It's going to cover outside of Great Elf's bedroom, but it's going to extend into the bedroom, but also out of the bedroom to encompass anybody who's standing in front of the door. That's got Norm immediately. Norm, you must immediately make a Charisma saving throw to see if you go Liar Liar Mode or not.

So what do I do?

You roll 1D20. You have a plus zero minus four. You immediately know this. Norm can no longer lie to you.

Okay. How much do you make an episode? $75,000. But actually, that was three years ago. We make $150,000.

All right. Absolutely. 100%. I'm going to say that was a bonus action zone of truth right there. Is there any... No, I'm going to say it's an action because you also got your moth across 100%. But anybody else who walks into that zone will also have to make the same savings. Soin this zone right now. Yes.

I fucked your gay husband. No. Do I have to roll for anything?

Make a wisdom saving throw to see how you feel about that. It's a one. It's a one. You're devastated by it.

Oh my God. I'm not gay.

In fact, I'm not gay. My gay husband will fuck any dude. I'm going to mark down that you're shaken for your next- That's my bad, dude. That's my bad. Shaken for the next attack. That's why I'm shaken for the next attack. Absolutely. You immediately realize the truth can hurt sometimes. What a backfire. If you drink the greater healing potion, say it shakes it off, but you're shaken at the moment.

I'm shaken. Did we just leave PFT's stepsister out to dry with the Orc? No, she's with us.

She is currently making out with the Orc on the other side of the chasm, keeping him busy. As long as she keeps making out with him, he's stunned. It might be his sister, too.

It definitely could be a sister. Are you in the zone of truth right now? No, not yet.

Not yet. Now, at this point, Great Ulf is waking up, and he begins to stomp over to the door of the bedroom, and you hear the yipping and yapping of these dogs. As they're getting closer, you realize, oh, they're bigger than you thought. The door gets yanked open, and what you see looking at you are a pair of nipples. Because this guy is so big, he then has to stoop down to see you below the awning of the doorway. Oh, my God. It It is not an orc. It is an ogre who is staring at us. He has on one arm a shield that would have been a Dwarven tower shield that is strapped to his arm like a buckler. And then in his other hand, he is dragging a great sword like the weapon that Norm uses. He's wielding it in a single hand. He looks down, he says, Me, great olf, who the hell are you? I'll say this, you all know, orcs are typically not led by ogres. Ogres are dumber than orcs, so orcs wouldn't really like being led by ogres. You all soon notice on either side of him, not dogs, a pair of wolves are flanking this ogre.

Norm, you have a ready to action right now. Also, he's in the zone of truth. You know he can't tell the truth. Everything he just said is true. He said, I'm great. Oh, who are you? You You can attack him right now.

Yeah, no, we got to attack him. He's in the zone of truth. I think it's... Yeah, you're ready. I'm not ready. We got to attack him.

Absolutely, 100%. You can do an attack with advantage. Roll D20 two times. Five.

Five. Can't see shit.

Nine. Nine. Nine plus seven is a 16. Sixteen is just barely enough. It is the number you need to get to hit him on the dot. And so you can roll 2D 6 plus 6 damage. This is big. Three, six. There it is. Three and six. Nine plus six while you're raging is 15 damage. That's enough to instakill any orc. However, Great Elf is not an orc. He's an ogre. You notice that now you can tell he's not even halfway dead yet with 15 points of damage. You think this ogre has over 50 hit points? He is a beast. I'll also let both of you roll a knowledge check. This can be nature. If you have nature. If not, you've got a minus one on this. You've got a plus zero. Just see what you know about orcs in theory.Okay.An eight.An eight.12.12. You just know orcs are pretty dumb. You know they don't really get along with orcs very often. You're surprised that he's saying he's the chieft in here. But that's all you know for sure. You can roll your second attack right now if you want. When you're ready in action, you can ready both.

Okay, let's get a little bit weaker.

Eighteen. Great. Absolutely. You have advantage. You can roll one more time just to see if you critical hit. That's a fucker. Twenty. Twenty. Amazing. With reckless mode, you are absolutely getting a critical hit on him. Instead of 2D6, roll me 4D6 plus 6 damage. This is fucking Where are you attacking him, by the way?

On his body. His nipples, maybe. Probably his nipples. His nipples are right there. His head and his dick. He might be too tall. His nipples. He might be too tall to hit the head. Nipples, dick.

You go for the dick. Six. Six. Three. Three, nine so far.

One, shit.

Two, twelve, plus another six. Is 18 more damage on Great That brings him up to 33 damage on him. He is just barely halfway dead at this point, but now he gets to respond. You swung the first time and you sloshed across his chest. He roars, What the hell? And then you drive your sword forward right through his loin claw.Oh, yes.And he goes, No! I am going to say, not only does he get advantage of attacking you, he's going to get double advantage because you chopped his dick off.Oh, no.And he's so mad at you.Happens every time.That he's going to roll three times. 19 so far is going to be a hit. He didn't critical hit you, but he did get a 19. I am just going to borrow the two sixes because he does the same damage you deal on a critical hit. That is going to be 10 so far. Then another eight is 18 plus 6 is going to be 24 damage against you.

But I got 59.

You got 59. You're fine. In fact, because you're raging, you don't take 24 damage. You only take 12 points of damage.Oh, love it.Norm, well done.

Just a scratch.

Excellent. A mere scratch However, then the wolves are leaping into action because you have not attacked them, Greg. They're only going after Norm. The wolves have advantage, I'm sorry to say. So the first wolf hits, second wolf also hits, and the first wolf is dealing three plus two. It's five more damage, which gets reduced to two against you. You are up to 14 damage from the wolf's norm. And then the second wolf is dealing five plus two. It's seven. That gets reduced to three. You're up to 17 damage from these attacks. And just roll me two strength saving throws. The wolves are trying to pull you down to the ground.

That's a 14.

That's a 10. Both of those are successes. Well done. You are fighting off all of these troops. And then at the very end of his turn, Great Elf yells as loud as he can for reinforcements. It is loud enough that the shaman is on her way. I'm going to roll to see. The shaman is going last. And then when we are at the bedroom of Great Ulf, you are noticing bedroom is a dead end. You don't see any vault doors. There's just a bed or three doors and beds that have been pushed together. And then you see there's a hallway to the west and a hallway to the east. Hallway to the east goes 30 feet and ends in an ordinary door. Hallway to the west goes 30 feet, ends in an ordinary door, but has a big dormen statue in the wall right next to the door. That door is the door where you suddenly hear a bunch of orcs getting ready. I'm going to roll to see when they go. They're going to be going in.Not great.

This feels bad. Right before Greg's next turn, after Norm's next turn.

So these are going to be- Remember they said east? Yeah, but we have no key. But it could be west. Why are they protecting the door.

And that was Great Elf's turn.Hippo Maximus, we are up to you next.What.

If he swallowed the key? Who swallowed the key? The ogre. The ogre. The guy we're trying to kill. That's why they never opened it. Are there any drawers or chest in the bedroom?

You see there is a chest in the back of the bedroom. Yes.

We got to finish. Should I go for the ogre or the chest. Max hates chest.

Do you have the nature skill, by the way, Max? I love chest. Yes, I do. I have plus three on nature. I'll let you, as soon as you have arrived in this room, roll a nature check to see what you know about ogres.What do I roll?That would be a D20. 20? You'll add whatever your nature skill bonus is. Fuck, it's a two. You don't know anything useful about ogres here, unfortunately.Okay.Or any clues about what it would be.I'm.

Going to go for the chest. I think that the chest would be where you would keep something That's what it looks like.

Absolutely. Now, here's the problem. The chest is inside the room. We can just barely see the chest around this big old fucking ogre and two wolves. To get around this ogre, you could do it, but you couldn't do it in human form. You would have to turn into a really tiny animal. The problem is the smaller the animal is, as we saw in the case of the eagle, the less hit points it has. So if you turn into an animal small enough to squeeze past them, you're definitely going to have less than five hit points. You got to be a fleet.

What's a small but mighty animal?

A dung beetle. There are typically not too many animals in D&D that are both really tiny and have a ton of hit points. Be a bee.

Cicada.

Okay, I'll be a cicada. I'll give it two hit points. Okay.yeah, wait. It's really like if you get hit in this form.

But I'm trying to get to the chest, right?

That's the important thing. Really, what you're trying to do is be sneaky. I will say in cicada form, you're going to have a plus five on stealth for sure. Wow, that's huge.

Do you think cicada is blind? They also make a lot of noise. Oh, boy. That's a bad choice of animal. Also, cicadas just die naturally. They just come up here to die. You guys told me to pick cicada. We told you 10 different animals and you chose cicada. Bee. No, you're a cicada already. Are you going to go with bee? Bee. No, bee.

Bumble bee? Is that what you're going with?

No, I'm going to be... Bs are simps. I'm going to be like a wasp. It's not a bee. It's not a bee. All right, we'll be a wasp. It's a form of bee. White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

He tells the Orc that his dad will sue him.

Absolutely.

That will be a wasp. Your finances stat goes way up. You are absolutely able to turn into a wasp 100%. I'd even say a wasp can sting people for one point of damage. Love that.So you turn into a wasp?Yes, wasp. You are buzzing a decent amount of wasp form, so I will give you a plus four on stuff.Okay, that's fine. You can roll D20 plus four. You chose the two loudest bugs.Buzz past this... Come on, Max.14.14. That was before the plus four, I assume.Yes.It's an 18. You definitely get past the ogre. He doesn't notice much. Wolves, more importantly, were looking around. They sniffed the air. Actually, you said it was an 18, right? That's literally the number you needed to get to hide from the wolves. Just barely, one of the wolves looks over, tries to snap the air, but loses track of you. You fly over the wolf's head. You fly over to the... There's a nasty bed. There's a big chest. You can obviously fly over to the chest. However, you're suddenly realizing in a wasp in wasp form. The chest isn't locked, but you cannot lift the lid of a chest in wasp form.

Now, it will let you change out of wasp form and then lift up the chest, and then that's all you get to do on your turn is grab something out of the chest. Is it a wooden chest? It is a wooden chest.

Is there a gap in the middle of the chest that you could slide in?

I would like you to try to squeeze into the chest. Then it's very dark in the chest. That's his least favorite thing in the entire world.

No, I would love to slide into the middle of that chest. You don't even like sliding in the chest. What do you mean? You hate sliding in between chest. I love sliding in the I'm a bee. I'm a bee. I'm small enough to slide in the chest. You're not a bee. You're a wasp. You're a wasp. I'm a wasp. It's the same thing.

I would like to go into that chest. Absolutely. Roll me a D20 plus 4 to slip in through the cracks of the chest. It's only a 10 or higher you need. Let's get in this chest, baby. 8. 8 plus 4. You're squeezing, you're squeezing. Does it feel good? You pop it in the chest. Yeah, it popped. It fucking popped, baby. You can see just barely enough in the darkest of the chest. Make me a perception check. 1d20 plus whatever your perception skill is. That wouldn't change. Do you have the perception skill by any chance? I don't think I do. You don't. Then you have a plus three. Do your wisdom. Go ahead and roll D20 plus three.

Jesus Christ. Come on, Maximus. You did this earlier. One time. That was one time. You really can't see it all.

No, I can't see shit. Eighteen. Eighteen is obviously It's not that you can see everything that's inside this chest. First thing you notice is the glow of some magic runes. There is a small magic sword in here. It's definitely not Durgegettin's cool magic ax. It is a sword, first of all, it's you think Dwarven made, but it's only a short sword. It's magical. You can tell that for sure. There's also a lot of gold in this chest. There's some armor. You search it completely. No key in in this chest.

Is there anything helpful that I could take out of this chest?

The magic sword is probably the best thing in this chest right now, would be your guess. Gold is obviously always useful, but not so much in a dungeon. There's some armor, but you're already wearing the best army. Yeah, I don'tSo you could use that magic sword, you can stand.So I'll take the sword? Absolutely. You can land on the sword. Oh, right.

Because I'm still a wasp.

Yeah, you can't pick it up. I can't pick up that sword. Now, if you were to change back into human form, you know the Wooden chest is not so strong that it could contain you and crush you. You would burst out of this chest with the sword in your hand. That would be pretty cool.

As a wasp, could he find that chimney where the smoke is coming out of and fly down through the chimney?

Yes, 100% you could.

Definitely. Because I feel like that chimney might lead to the safe, to the vault. Could I do that instead of trying to get the sword?

I would let you fly back out of the chest if you wanted to, 100%. I would not make you roll for it. I would let you fly out of here and try to fly up to that. Yeah. Okay, then yes. I think that's probably-It's a lot of movement I'm giving you, but I'm going to allow it. You'll have to fly past Great Elf again. I'm going to need another stealth check. If you want to risk this, you can fly back out of the room. Roll one more D20 plus four. You need an 18 or higher, you know. That would be a three. Three plus four is not enough. You try to fly out of this mountain so you can go up to where the smoking cloud It was. But instead, great olf sees you, he goes to swot you, first of all.

Oh, no. But at least he's beefy, right? No, he's really got two.

How many hit points does he have? As a wasp? I have a wasp, three hit points. This is pretty courageous of me. Iit'll also give you an armor class of 14, but it's no good. Immediately, great olf swots you. And what happens is he swots you against the wall, splat, and then all of a sudden, it rumbles. And then suddenly, what do they call it when you throw the little things, the foam things into the water and they grow. The sponge things? The sponge things, yes.

Chia pets.

Yeah, like a chia pet, basically. Like a chia pet. Bath bombs. Bath bombs. You start growing out of the wall. When you kill a Druid in their animal form, they just change back into their Druid form. Now, he did slap you for five points of damage. So your wasp only absorbed three of the damage, you take another two points of damage. But you push his off the wall. You land right next to Gr Adolf. And he goes, looks at his hand, looks at you, looks at his hand. What the fuck? My hand can turn bees into people. And he's very excited right now. But he's also worried about who you are, and he still wants to fight Norm right now. So I'm going to mark you down with two points of damage, Hippo Maximus. And that is going to bring us from your turn to Wayne's turn now.

Okay, quick stop in Dungeon and Dragons for the rowback question, R-H-O-B-A-C k. Com promo code. Take 20% off your first purchase. Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Rowback question, Max. This is your first time doing Dungeon and Dragons as a competitor. How do you think it's going for you? It's going all right for me. I thought I would be dead by now, but I'm still hanging on. What was the thing? Your little eagle? Your eagle died? Yeah, you killed my eagle. I didn't mean to do that. Yeah, you did. No, I didn't. Yes, you did. Things happen in the moment when you're in- You said he wasn't the guy. When you're in Dungeon of Dragons. Now I'm remembering. I did mean to do that. Well, that was the Roback question. Robackk question. Robackk. Com. Use promo code take. Go buy Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, and swimsuits. Rowback. Com. Promo code take. Okay, back to Dungeon and Dragon. Okay, so I still have to cross this bridge, right?

You do. You still need to. Well, no, you got carried across by your-Oh, you're with me.

Norm carried you across. You can run right up to this. I am in the zone of truth then.

You land in the zone of truth. Absolutely.

We know that we can't find the key inside this place, right? Yes. The Ulf doesn't It doesn't have it on his body.

It doesn't seem to have it. It's not in his chest. We think it fell into the chasm. But then we also learned it got found again by an Orc. Yeah.

I got to go through one of these doors, one of the two doors.

Definitely. Also, when you see Great Elf, make me a knowledge check to see what you know about ogres. Okay. D20? This would be just D20 plus 3. Seven. You don't know any useful information about ogres, unfortunately. So yeah, you can definitely go after the ogre or Pick one of these other doors. Okay.

I'm going to pick the door that has the statue on it.

The door with the statue. Now, that's the door that when you're looking at, great off goes west, and it has a bunch of orcs beyond that door who are about to go. Are you okay with going to that door? Yeah, I'm fine. Absolutely. As you approach, as you're getting closer, what are you doing? Going up to the door and opening it? Yeah. Absolutely. As soon as you start, you're noticing that this is a bigger than life-size Dwarven statue. It has an ax and a helmet. His visor is down right now, almost like he's standing at attention. You go over to open up the door, is that right? And you know that there's going to be... Sounds like a bunch of orcs on the other side. You're okay with that? Yeah, I'm fine with that. Absolutely. As soon as you are approaching the door, suddenly you realize beneath your feet, the floor is sinking. And then you realize, no, only one of your feet, the floor is sinking. And you look down, Indiana Jones style, one of the stones has sunk into the ground like a pressure plate. I'm going to need you to make a dexterity saving throw to jump out of the way before you set off the trap.

That is not-So 10. 10 plus 3 is a 13. You needed a 15 or higher. Just barely, you jump back, but you hear a click as the pressure plate clicks into place, the visor of the dwarf's helmet starts to slide up. Did you already open the door at this point? Yes. So you push the door open, you see not one, not two, not three, but four orcs in that room, one of whom is standing taller than all the other orcs and giving orders. That orc is wearing plate mail, and he has gray skin. Roll me an arcana check to see if you know what this-Seven.seven. You do not know. You know that you've heard of a orc called... Because you have a plus four on this, so that's an eleven. You've heard of a orc called an aurog. If anyone knows from Lord of the Rings, the urukai. Urukai is a copyrighted term, aurog is not. And so this is an aurog. But it looks like a grayskin super Orc, you think, that is better and stronger than an ordinary Orc. That's all you really know. He's giving the orders here, and then he sees the visor of the Dwarven Statute's helmet rising up, and he starts to go, Oh, shit, and shake his head like this.

There's no face on the other side of the Dwarf's visor. It's just an empty space in the wall and a metal pipe that goes right up to where the visor was, and suddenly You just barely hear a ssssssssss and a ripple in front of the pipe. You can make another knowledge check to see if you know what's going on here. It's called monoxide.

It's 13. We're in Nick's apartment.

That's all it does.Poison gas.Oh, no.

It's filling up this hallway and that room. You still got your action, your bonus action.

Okay. Am I trapped right now?

Right now, I'm actually going to need you to immediately make a constitution saving throw. Luckily, because you're a door, if you have advantage, roll one more time on that.

That was halfway. That was a cock die.

I actually agree 100%. It was a 20 roll that.

Let's reroll that.

That's not good. Not better. Okay. With a 10, you needed a 15 or higher, and you have maybe a plus two on this. Not quite enough. You are going to be taking a total of 13 poison damage right now, Wayne, and you're taking the full amount.

And I'm stuck?

You're not stuck. You can run in any direction you want, and you can do whatever action or bonus action you want. Your bonus action could be inspiring somebody or even healing yourself.

Okay. Can I inspire Hank?

You definitely could inspire Hank. What do you say or play to inspire Hank?

Let's see, what do you mean, what do I play?

When you inspire somebody, you're either playing music or you're like a coach telling them, I believe in you, you can do it. What would you like to do or say to inspire?

I'd like to inspire him to be able to jump higher by playing, I believe I can fly.

Absolutely. Classic inspirational music. You are playing, I believe I can fly. It's definitely going to help you with any checks, but I'll say if you jump with it, you'll get even more of a bonus.

Yeah, I'd like to increase his jumping ability. Can I inspire him to come take on all the orcs at the same time?

I mean, yeah, you can't influence Eerlik unless you cast a Charmed Person spell upon him, in which case you can.

Yeah, I'd like to do that.

Absolutely. I'd like to send him in there first. Would you do Charmed Person, which makes him think you're best friends and makes it easier for you to persuade him, or do you want to do Suggestion? That's a Jedi mind trick. Wait, we're not best friends?

Yeah, I'd like to make him believe I'm his best friend, but I'm actually hoping that he goes in there and he gets killed instead of me.

Absolutely. You don't need to roll anything. As you cast Charmed Person on Eerlik, Eerlik, I'm going to need you A wisdom saving throw. The higher you roll, the more you resist this. 17. It does not affect him. Now, you still can make a persuasion check to try to influence him, but because he's not charmed, Hank could literally say, There's no number you could roll that will influence me.

Unless it's like a 20. If you roll exactly the number 4 then.

That's a low number, but okay.Not.

4 or higher, just the number 4.Just.

The number 4.It's.

A 5.It's a 5.

So close. We're doing the… Got it. Absolutely. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem... You try to persuade him to do that. But he can still jump high. No, he's not charmed. He can still jump high, yes. Absolutely. Now, are you staying in this hallway or are you trying to leave this hallway? You could go back to Great Ulf or go into By the way, the room with these four orcs is just a barracks with another door leading further west.

I like how this poison is making me feel. You're getting a pretty good head rush off it.

If you stay here, then if they try to fight you, they're going to have to stay in the poison gas, these orcs. Yeah, I'll do that. I'm going to roll their saving throws right now. They were rushing up to you, like trying to barrel past you or attack you. But either way, they have to get closer to the poison. So the first orc-I got really good tolerance. The first orc got a natural one, dies immediately. The Orog, the super orc with gray skin, goes, No. And he got really upset. You know just enough orcish that he said, Son, as he saw that guy die. And then the next Ork is just barely going to take the full damage. And the last Orc is also going to take the full damage. So I smoked these guys out. The full damage for them is only seven points of damage. So they are halfway dead with seven points of damage. And then the Orog is going to roll his saving throw. Throw. He passed his saving throw and is only going to take just one of these. Eight points of damage. Okay, that was even worse for him.

Eight points of damage on the Orog, but he's not halfway dead. The Orcs at seven are halfway dead. And that will bring us Then to Eerlik's turn. Erlik, you have inspiration. What would you like to do?

Hank, we got to find this. I think the fucking main Shaman guy. What's his name?It was a woman.No, no, no.There's.

The Shaman.The doctor was a woman?There's Great Old Chief. The chief? There's also the Orn.

I think the chief has the key. We got to tell him, Hey, dude, there's five of us. There's one of you. Give us the fucking key, and let's go to the chest right now. All right, so I'll cast a level one charm spell.

Absolutely. Who are you trying to charm? The Orog, the Shaman, or Great Ulf? The Great Ulf's got the key. The Great Ulf. Great Ulf, absolutely. Do a Charm Person spell. Sorry, you don't have to roll anything for Charm Person. I need to roll to see if he can resist the spell. What are you saying to charm him. Anything in particular?

Nice place you got here. Okay. Be like, You won't give me the key. Be a real shame if you give me the key. Yeah, be a real shame. You gave us the key and told us where to go. This place is really cool. I bet you you could hide some really cool stuff here. And then he wants to be like, Yeah, look, this is where I hide the key.

Absolutely. He rolled really well to resist your charmed person. Do you want to burn up your inspiration? Actually, you can do this right now. You could use cutting words upon a great olf right now if you wanted to, and that could reduce his saving throw to make him charmed by early.

Yes, I would like to do that. I'd like to insult him.

You have to insult him, though. What do you say to him? You'll be like, Hey, nice dick. Oh, yeah, absolutely. His dick is flopping around on the floor It's an automatic success with that cutting words, 100%. He immediately becomes charmed by Eerlik, and he begins to get tears in his eyes because of his fallen dick. And he is going to say to you, I don't have Nothing to hide. Do you ask him anything more specific?

Where's the key? Not even a key?

He shakes his head. However- Hank always does this.

Hank always does this. Hank always is like, Are you sure? With his second question. Absolutely.

I was like-He literally just fucking asked me. You asked about the key. He says he does not know about any key.

Wait, is he still in the circle of truth?

He is in the zone of truth. You know that. However, both you and Wayne can make insight checks real quick. Roll me a D20 plus insight to see if you are noticing something. 16. I'm 15.16. You with your insight bonus are both going to notice this. The Orog who is moving into Mele with Wayne, the moment you to Key, his eyes went wide. Also, Eerlik, I never gave you a chance to do this. Roll me a knowledge check to see what you know about ogres. Thirteen. Finally, the person dressed as an ogre knows about ogres. You know the The only reason an ogre would be the leader of an orc tribe is because orcs have a rule. If you defeat their chief in combat, you become the new chief. However, they would not want an ogre as a chief. You're noticing now the Orog has a lot of scars, and he looks like he's old at this point.Oh, former chief. You know that he has just told you after this unfortunate waste of a charm person spell that he doesn't know about any key, but now you're thinking the Orog does. You still get your bonus action.

Or is there anything else you want to do?

But if we kill the chief, does that person become the chief?

Apparently, yes. But we need to get the...

Aurore has the key. So I'll fireball him. Orog?

I'll say the Charmed Person was a bonus action. You could do a fireball. The fireball will hit a big area. So if you fireball Great Ulf, you'll definitely hit somebody. That's all right. I'm willing to go down. Or you can fireball the Aurog and avoid hitting Wayne because you can get all two of the remaining orcs and the Aurog, all three of them in a fireball without hitting Wayne.

Are you drawing first blood, Hank? We need the Aurog. The Aurog has the key.

If we kill the Aurog, we get the key.

We could get the key from the Orog if we kill the ogre and become chief and demand it.

The ogre just told you he didn't have it.

The Orog, the Orog.

The Orog. The Orog. I'll fireball the Orog. His eyes went wide. And so you fireball the Orog and his two Orc Minions, is that right? Absolutely. It's going to be a total of 8d6 in all. So we can roll all of those a total of eight times. I'm going to roll-3, 4? Yes. 3, 4, so seven.

2, 1.

10 so far.

Threes?

Sorry, three total? 3, 3. 3 and three. Three and three, so 16. Then we have two more. 5, 1. 5 and a 1. So another six. That's going to bring us up to 22 points of damage. The first Orc incinerated completely. The second Orc just barely incinerated. Double barely. Well done. It's just the Orc now. The Orc gets a natural one on his saving throw. He had more than 22 health, but you didn't do 22 damage to him. You dealt 44 damage to him.

He exploded.

Let's get that key. A beautiful platinum key goes flying through the air. Erlik, I will let you try to jump up and catch that key at the end of your turn.Oh, he can jump so high.Oh, and you'll have inspiration on this if you need. Roll me 1D20 first.7.7?Oh, I'm so hot. You're about to lose the key, and it might fall anywhere unless you use the bardic inspiration that Wayne gave you. If you do, I will let you roll not a D8, but instead a D10 to add on to your roll. But you need a 15 or higher. No, just a 10 or higher. Just a 10 or higher to catch the key. As long as you don't get a one or a two.

You got to just get 10.

Seven. Seven. Plenty. Absolutely 100%. You catch the key. You've got the key now. The Orog is dead. The Shaman's on her way, but hasn't even arrived. Great Ulf is badly injured. You don't know where the vault is, but there is a pair of prison doors you haven't checked and one hallway to the east that we have not explored yet. East.

He always said east.

That is going to bring us from the end of your turn, Eerlik, to Norm's turn now. Norm, what would you like to do? That's right.

But Hank went west for some reason. No, I said maybe it's west. All right, so we got the key. I want all my boys. Let's go east through this door. Let's get the fucking price.

Now, currently, Eerlik has the key. Would you ask him for the key?

Can I ask for all my boys to come with me to the east?

Certainly, yes. I accept.

Would you like to come with me to the east?I accept. Yeah, let's roll. Hank.i'm willing to do whatever I can.I'm ready. All right, mount up.I'm.

Willing to do whatever I can.This is awesome.Let's go.

We're doing it this time. We're doing it this time.

You currently have the ogre right in Mele with you. He sees you going towards the Eastern door. It looks like he is going to try to attack you. You can either try to kill him right now and then run for the Eastern door, or you could say something to get him to stop fighting.

Yeah, dude. Hey, listen, man. Can I heal his dick? Can I put his dick back on his body?

Yes, I would allow that 100%. You can just lay on hands to heal his dick.

You have to ask him. Yeah. Heal his dick, and then we'll be like, Bro, no harm, no foul. Just let us go. Well, let's ask him first. If he'll stop, if we give his dick back. Yeah. You want to chill out? We'll heal your dick.

You can use intimidation on this. You say, If you don't stop right now, we're not going to heal your dick. And you have not advantage on this.Double advantage.Yes. Roll three times in all because he desperately wants his dick back.

Okay, that was a one. That was bad. That's a little bit. That was a six. That was also bad.

You can't heal my dick.

That was a seven. A little bit better.

Well, you rolled three times. This highest was a seven. Is that right? Yeah. I will roll. You got a seven plus one, I think, for your charisma, let's say. Oh, no. Yeah, one for intimidation. That's right. You got an eight. If he rolls a seven or less, he will be tricked into... And he got a six. Well done. He stopped fighting. Do you heal his dick?

I pick up that big dick and reattach it.

You reattach it 100%, and he goes, My hug. Yes. He immediately reaches down and just starts shaking it. Yes. Your stepsister arrives. Great Ulf, because he just rolled a total of a one on an intelligence check, he starts shaking it to make sure it works. Then he looks around and just keeps shaking it. It's working. It's working. Then he keeps shaking it. Then his eyes start to glaze over a little bit. You start backing away maybe a little bit. Oh, shit. Great off is started jerking in. He's doing it hard right now. Absolutely. He's leaving the bedroom door open, but you're pretty sure you could just shut the bedroom door right now. You hear him still in the zone of truth saying, God, this feels good. I would like you to roll for your sister just to make sure she doesn't go in there with-Step Sister. Step Sister, to make sure she's in there with her.

It could be your sister.

It could maybe be your sister. Five or less, I was going to say, means she wants to go in there with Gray Elf. Do you let her in there with Gray Elf? It's your sister, bro. It's your sister. Yeah. Yeah. It's your sister. Yeah. She disappears into the bedroom.

Do I think that's hot?

She's getting around. Yeah. If you voluntarily fail the saving throw, then hell, yeah.

Yeah, zone of truth. Yeah. I think it's hot that she's watching them. Wait, zone of truth, Tim. Is it his sister or stepsister?

She calls out. He says, What about your brother? And he goes, Don't worry, he is my stepbrother. No, you fumbled. Actually, stepbrother.

You fumbled your back there. We're going to the east and we're going to get this treasure.

You throw open the Eastern door, revealing nothing in the room except a 30-foot-tall, 30-foot-wide vault door laced with gold and platinum. Now, as we open the door, do we want the finale ending or the cliffhanger ending to set us up for next episode. Oh, shit. I'll leave it up to us. Let's finish where we started. Because I always leave it up to the A W. We haven't done a cliffhanger. Well, based on whether we're going to do a sequel to this adventure or not. We haven't done a cliffhanger in I think it's going to happen. This can be a three-part adventure. Oh, my God. When I tell the A WLs to see if they want to do a sequel to this one or not, most of them are just doing one. It's been pretty good. This is for birthdays or something.

This is also the first time we've ever made it through an entire episode not killing each other. Except for the bird, the eagle died. You killed it. No, I didn't kill it. He went out of soldier. No, you killed it through your expectations. He went out of soldier. I think we got to leave a cliffhanger. Cliffhanger. This is great. No, she's just watching him jack off.

That's silly. That's so much better.

I've heard that excuse a million times.

You all together open up the vault door. There's a hisse of air. It's like a beam comes out and you see a pedestal with a glowing pillar of light. And in that pillar of light, like a museum case, you see hovering in the center, absolutely fucking nothing. The goal Hold on the ground is visibly missing, except for a few scattered coins. There are empty weapon racks on the wall, and in the back of the vault, there is a hole that someone dug into the back of the vault, revealing a secret staircase. A miner. Going deeper down into the mountain. You hear back in Great Elf's bedroom, and that is where we will end our adventure today. Well, Well done, everybody. Excellent job. We will need to go deeper into the foundry.

Does Oph look like Louis CK by any chance? A little bit.

Yes, 100%. Yeah, absolutely.

Jim, that was fantastic. That was a blast.

Thank you. Absolutely. Great job, everybody. You We can kill each other. That's unbelievable. That's really pretty amazing. That's really fucking did it. I'm very impressed.

That must be made. Also, shout out to Stephanie and Katie Graber. Katie has been a day one AWL part of my take, and she bonded with her sister, who's a big D&D fan, watching these episodes, Tim. Absolutely. Bringing families together. I love it. Stephanie, she has a company called Boss Goblin. Excuse me. No, she is the Boss Goblin at Tabletop Loot.

They were the ones, I believe, provides them with the dice and theCyce Trade is absolutely 100%. They are great, 100%, absolutely. Yes. Okay.

Well, Tim, thank you so much. Will you be back?

I will be, definitely.

You know what I was looking for.

Absolutely 100%. Yes. Yes, you will. All right.

Great job, boys.

My pleasure.

Okay, that's Dungeon of Dragons, our best one yet. To be continued. Yeah, I like that. I did like that the One guy tweeted me last week and said, I wanted you guys to play the whole thing out and not kill Hank. Then the week that he's been on, I want you to kill him right away. I wish we had known that because we taped it about a month ago, and we actually didn't kill him this time. Yeah, but it was good team building, and we're definitely going to kill him in the follow-up episode. Yes, 100%. Okay, numbers. 30. 20. 56. 8.

3.

99, Pog. 48. I thought that was 40. Love you guys. All for the grand.

It's just love the grand. Oh, wait. Shit. I don't need no breaks.

I'm talking away. I don't know what to say.

I'd say it anyway. To

I know you're fine.

All the things that you say, yeah, is it alive?

Oh, we're just to pay my worries away. You're all the things I've got to find you shying away. I'll be coming for your love of pain.

Take on me. Take on me.
