work Dungeons and Dragons actual play podcastabout a group of young professionals from the
real world who find themselves transported toa strangely familiar place full of fantasy and
magic. See attached for episode descriptionsand content warnings. Thanks for listening.
(00:22):
All right, and I'm pretty surethis isn't exactly like they are in real
life. But there's like nine coupholders in here. Imagine how many beers
that we can have in this thingwhile we driving? Is it drunk driving
if you're driving a magical vehicle?I mean, there's probably no open container
laws in this world. It's becausethey don't have vehicles, so it's probably
it's not against the law as longas they don't hit anything to be fine.
(00:44):
Yeah, I mean what's there tohit? I mean it's open road,
so it's like it's gonna be soeasy. So how'd your training go
with you learning to bard more?I think it's pretty good. I feel
like I got some cool spells thatI can do. You know that thing
I showed you when we were inthe library. I can make myself look
tall again. Even if it's onlyfor ten minutes, it feels like it's
for a long time. Yeah.Yeah, they're very fair, and i'd
(01:07):
me learning to hit someone twice insteadof once. I'm sure that will come
in a lot of handy like,Well, we're gonna be getting close right
where they at? Where are wemeeting them? I think probably head to
fact smoke cloud over there. Ithink that's probably the right direction most likely.
(01:27):
Whoa buddy like you pulled up alittle closer? Don't you think it's
fine? This thing breaks like acharm. Greetings listeners, I'm Alex Capps.
(01:48):
You're DM or District manager and thisis overworked and underplayed. A D
and D podcast. Four Young Professionalsby Young Professionals. Today's icebreaker is something
that always makes you laugh, nomatter how many times you've seen, read,
or heard it. What Up?It's your boy, Marcel Hardy playing
Richard Cox, a human consultants turnedhalfling bard who holy believes it's better to
(02:10):
be lucky than good, but it'sbest to be both. And something that
makes Richard laugh no matter how manytimes he's seen it is the scene and
what we do in the shadows whereNandor recounts his summer of reawakening and he
gets sucked into an air pure fireand then his hair is just pure white.
Or when the scene when he's onthe news and he's like, I'm
Nandor the Relentless and then like thelittle subtitles like Nandor de Laurentz. Actually,
(02:35):
you know it just everything from thatshow. Hello, my name is
Anlain Hardy, and I play TaylorJacobs, a centaur barbarian with a heart
of gold. And something that makesher laugh every time she watches it is
you know that show Baskets. Sothere's one episode where like Martha finds a
dog like on the side of theroad and like takes it home and it's
(02:59):
like just drawing her house and she'slike super frustrated, and I'm pretty sure
the dog even like bites her orwhatever, and it's just like a mess.
And so then zag Alfanakas comes overand she's like, please help me.
I don't know what to do.She's like at herwit's end, and
he's like, Martha, that's acoyote watched documentary. Ever you didn't know
(03:29):
coyote? Oh my god, Heyeveryone, I'm Katie, and I play
Crystal the draw Druid with her veryown MLM. And the thing that always
makes Crystal laugh is awkward celebrity interviews. So like anytime someone gets on a
red carpet and the reporter just sayslike the most off the wall things,
(03:50):
and the celebrity doesn't know what todo because they're trying to be nice,
but they don't know how to benice because it's the weirdest question ever.
It's the best thing. Hey,I'm Marjorie. I play Amy and Amanda,
a basic, brough and tumble humanfighter with a freshly minted dentistry decree.
Oh my gosh, Okay. Amenloves it when you put little costumes
(04:11):
on like dogs or catsies, youwalk around like it never fails. It's
hilarious. Loves it. Hi amTyler, the It Paladin and dragon Ball
z abridged. That is good.It doesn't matter how many times I watched
that. I always die And onceagain I am Alex Capps, your DM
(04:34):

(05:19):
left off, Bentley got a newtruck. Let's see, Oh god,
Oh, if you lose concentration,you're definitely going to be CALLI squatting it.
Oh god. No, Richard gottaller temporarily momentarily Yeah, And Crystal
(05:40):
found out that there may be athird Crystal running around. No maybe,
I mean here, I thought itwas just the second Crystal. I don't
know. It could be had waspart of triplets. Like things have already
(06:01):
gone pear shaped for once, solike, wouldn't it be all it would
all be all that shocking if someoneis just someone else had the bright idea
to try and steal from Bristle.Anything else happens is be going dragon fruit
shaped bo I hope you know whenpeople don't find it funny, that makes
(06:26):
it even better for us. Allright, so we're going to pick up
the following morning. You guys allhad a nice evening to figure out your
next move, and you awaken atthe Crow's nest and find that all of
your downline has already woken up andbefore you and continued working trying to fill
(06:49):
orders. Okay, well manufacturing lightat this point. Yeah, apparently Crystal's
secret last name is Ford. Yeah, apparently the assembly line in this world
(07:10):
she was. She was originally fromDetoria. All right, so you guys
wake up and you find your workerbees diligently at it. What do you
do? I feel like I can'tbreathe, like all of those fumes of
just like soak into all of liketextiles in here. You see one of
the humans looks and he goes,you get used to it? This solid
(07:40):
yesterday? Yeah, I'm going togo right back to the window that I
opened it apparently they shut, andI'm going to open it back up again.
I'm going to be like, youguys, don't have to do this
to yourself. I get that Iwork you guys to the bone. But
you don't have to do this toyourself. You can literally open and then
she's going to go figure out ifthey were able to utilize her adjustments to
(08:00):
the formulas to help make the orderseasier to build. And so you go
and check and the person in chargeof this particular line says, uh,
yeah, we made the adjustments justas you wrote down. And got to
say, not only are we isit easier to make it? Uh,
but we haven't had nearly as manynegative reactions. What were those reactions?
(08:30):
Well, see Timothy over there,and you see a gnome kind of holds
up his hand. He says,last week his hands were half that size
from handling the chemicals all day,but they've gotten back to normal. Now.
Good, she's gonna walk away,No more questions. As you're walking
away, another one of the guyscomes up. He says, Miss Crystal,
(08:54):
I wanted to say thank you.Sure, he says, I I
never felt like my family would beable to be financially independent, but you
know it did require us leveraging allof our assets, like our house and
everything. But we we feel reallyconfident and we believe in what you're trying
(09:15):
to do, and you should.You should believe in what I'm trying to
do because we are improving the worldwith productivity and we are making people's lives
easier and worn to I'm so gladis another room a tend of industry.
She's going to walk off. She'sjust like, she's like, she's used
(09:35):
to this, Like this is She'sback where she will right, Crystal has
entered her villain arc. She she'sentered her I say, she took a
stumble, but she's back to theOh god, hey, Crystal. Not
(10:01):
that we've had a decent night ofslave, but had some more time to
think about this. Did Montiac evertell you, like who these customers are?
Now, that's a good question aboutwho my customers are. Like,
I track my downline because that's whereI make my money. Yeah, but
this one has made me very paranoidand suspicious, Like how do we know
(10:22):
that the customers aren't actually fake customers? Oh? I don't know. You
seem to be having some really goodideas, slately, So I'm gonna go
whatever you want to do. She'slike, yes, frame Crystal, frame
frame the other Crystal, So yeah, sure, why not go for it?
Richard, let's find out who thesepeople are. Okay, So I
(10:43):
guess that means we should probably talkto Montiac. That's some more information.
So you go knock on Montiac's doorand you just hear snoring. I don't
think he's gonna I don't. Heseems really tired. We should probably just
Taylor, you're do we want toscare him? He's done such a good
(11:05):
job, like he deserves his rest. But maybe we chat when we get
back from the witch. Yeah,right, yeah, I'll be right back.
Bitley goes outside and starts ritual casting. He's always got to like where
are my keys? Like, wheredo you what? It's the diesel version,
(11:26):
so he's got to go warm itup first before you can like really
fire it up and everything. He'sout there the ritual. It's the truck's
there, but he's like checking theoil and checking the fluids and not a
Yeah, since there's a doppelganger around, should we take any precautions? Like
(11:52):
we have our bracelets, so weshould be able to tell if another Crystal
comes by and she doesn't have abracelet on. I have an idea.
Okay, what is it, Bentley? I saw an anime ones. Let's
put them X on our wrists.We wrapp around it in like some type
of like fabric bandage. That way, if we have to show each other
where us, you show the X, but to other people they won't know
(12:15):
that's there. It was in onepiece. Trust, it was in one
piece. As I said, didit work? Yes, it works.
They managed to take down the Doppergame or dude, no problem A great,
okay, all right, so let'sget to work that little Is that
in conjunction with the mind communication riskbrand that cheat their duication have I think
(12:37):
one or both of those things willdefinitely work two factor authentication it is.
That's true because they could sneakingly steala bracelet and we don't know it was
the doctor d have one. Soso so I imagine out of earshot of
everybody else, I want to usethe bracelet talk to Crystal and say,
(13:01):
Crystal, give me a code word. Just give me a code word and
remember it Claire no no, somethingthat they won't be brilliance code word and
then that I'm glad they would neverthink of that word where like you know,
(13:41):
Rosebud Horrible Sensations or whatever it wascalled my code word to you,
Crystal, just in case. Idon't think it will ever happen because I'm
not that important to this particular storyline. But I'm going to tell you my
code word is xylophone. Oh okay, well my code word is I don't
(14:13):
know. I don't know. Youcan make it up, Crystal, Is
that's there? I used to havinga lot more time to plan out product
launches. Okay, gosh, whatwas that? I don't know what that
was like? You don't know,drinking and driving promise? No, No,
(14:43):
that that's part. That's part ofthe original cast. You have to
open a cold Oh god, thisis reminding me more and more of going
off writing. Yeah no, Crystal, if you remember my code word,
that might be enough. But Ifeel like you might be better for,
(15:07):
you know, you to tell meone that you made up. And this
is just me and Crystal conversation thatI'm doing in the brain. We're doing
telepathic then let's do Kim Kardashian.Kim Kardashian. Okay, Okay, it
doesn't exist in this world. Okay, So about this time, can Crystal
(15:30):
get like a call waiting? AndTaylor just also, yeah, that's fine.
I think that's hilarious. She's like, I'm just gonna transfer to this
other line. It's mergery on holdor any on hold. So Taylor is
gonna be like, hey, weshould probably have a code word. I'm
(15:52):
gonna get this is a completely originalidea. That and your think where it's
(16:12):
gonna be xylophone. Richard is nowalso gonna call me incoming call from Richard
Cox hold on hold on Taylor.Okay, so when you put Taylor on
(16:33):
hold, it connects her to Amym No, Hey, we should come
up with a code name. Sowhen Richard connects with christ Hey, Bentley,
we should probably come up with acode word. You have the wrong
(17:03):
number. IM sorry about that,Crystal, Well, I guess yeah,
we probably also should come up witha code word. Handing there in silence,
noticed that Crystal gets another call waiting. I don't even know we could
like, okay, sure that's right, hello, Crystal, this is doctor
(17:33):
D. We should probably come upwith a code He just hangs up all
the couses drop everyone once he leftthere on the line like it's just after
(17:55):
the chat that was that was thatwas that character that was just just that's
funny. Yeah, I couldn't helpmyself. Twenty minutes and we've made it.
What's everybody's word? All right,go to the witch. I say,
(18:27):
we were just waiting on Ben.We're just killing time until the truck
was ready. Over and over again. You hear him honk the horn twice.
It just sounds like the runner.Oh yeah, that's actually good.
Just the road runner, That's whatit sounds like. But like it sounds
(18:48):
like one of those horns that likesounds too, like high pitched vehicle.
All right, so you guys needto do anything before you head out of
the city. I think we're goodto go off roading. Okay, the
coolers packed. Wait, we havea moving, a freaking moving what's the
(19:11):
we're looking for? Tiny Lehman's tidyhut? Is that a little broken?
It depends on how is it.Let me let me tell you something.
There's no such thing as an unbalancedplayer character or an overpowered magic item.
There's only bad dms. So canwe leave a note for Captain Montiac so
(19:32):
he knows like what we're doing,so he like doesn't get fooled if someone
comes in our place or whatever,you know what I mean, Like if
we're gone and she shows back upand pretends to be Crystal again, like
what the so? So Captain Montiacruns outside and he goes Crystal, Crystal,
maybe we should have some sort ofcode blood. She's like, that's
(20:03):
going to be just a bunch ofwords that could be code words. But
maybe we give him a set ofsecurity questions. My code word, but
like three things that they have toget right. Next, next icebreaker?
What is your safe word? Ican't do that. We don't we have
(20:29):
an extra bracelet? I don't knowmake one? I think we I think
we had I had two. Atone point it was like by Bentley has
too because he has the one thatyou gave him that was remembers. Yeah,
and also the extra one that youmade. Okay, would you want
to give him one of those?Not really? I kind of like having
(20:52):
to. Why do you? Whydo you need to? It makes me
feel special you you don't need braceletsto be spent Bentley, you already are.
How long would it take you tojust make another one? Well,
we don't have the artificer with us. Shoot, that's right and now and
now Richard is sad. We havegiven Captain Okay, Captain Montiac looks and
(21:19):
says, I will cherish this forthe rest of my life. You probably
will to all two hours left.He puts it on his wrist and he
pushes the gem and says, isthis thing on? Excuse me? Hello?
Can you hear me? Yeah?We got you? Oh my god,
(21:40):
that is so weird. That's goingto take some getting used to.
I'm used to to their only beingmy voices in my head, not other
people's voices. You can call someonespecific. Don't kiss into the mic.
It makes amy Um uncomfortable, notas long as it's not all rook doing
(22:11):
it. Okay, Okay, Sothat's why that's why man has a given
all work a bracelet. Yeah,I don't know if I want to know
what he's thinking. No, probablynot. Okay, So to the witch
in the woods, right, wegot all piled into this Toyota Tacoma.
(22:33):
Yes, on our way, Idon't know. All right, let's see,
but we have to go the speedlimit through town though. Are there
speed limit signs posted? I don'tknow, But if legally speaking, if
the speed limit sign is not posted, you have to assume it's thirty five
miles per hour in the state ofwherever we're at. I'm going to assume
(22:57):
thirty five poles per hours, Isay, pretty fast, so let's all
right, not twenty so Bentley,The way this works is the vehicle has
three speeds. So since you're movingthrough the town, I want you to
go ahead and make a cautious vehiclehandling check. All right, So I
get a plus seven. Yeah,that is a three. Okay, so
(23:22):
you are able to cautiously drive aroundand dodge you know, pretty much anybody
who steps out in front of you. You're going pretty slow, but you
make it to the gates pretty well. You're getting a lot of weird looks,
but then you see a lot ofother people who are just like just
another day in Levron. They're usedto seeing kind of weird stuff. So
(23:45):
you make it outside of the cityand before you you see you have about
I would say, about fifteen milesto your destination. So do you want
to try to speed up or doyou want to continue going cautiously. Let's
try. I mean, we're notreally in a hurry, right, so
I guess we could just go cautiously. All right, Grandma, you know
(24:10):
what I'm offended. We're going We'regoing maximum speed off maximum speed is what
you're going for object medium okay.Okay, so you shift into second So
I'm gonna just for shorthand I'm gonnacall it first, second, and third.
Okay. So in second gear,you're going along the main road and
it's pretty bumpy, but you're handlingit. Okay, go ahead and make
(24:33):
me another vehicle handling check fourteen plusnumbers one. Okay. So you you're
going along and a cow runs rightout in front of you. Guys,
what do you do the opposite directionof the cows? Okay? Me a
(25:00):
dex hold on, make me adex saving throw. Oh my god,
gonna be decks. It doesn't matter. I'm awesome. That is a nineteen.
So you you perfectly like conside torifto around the cow. What is
(25:23):
everybody else in the vehicle doing?Multi truck yelling? Yeah, reaching for
the ocean handle, but his armis not long enough to quite reach it.
So he's like got his hand onthe window and his other hand on
the seat. So as you asyou're like reaching for the oce ship handle,
one magically appears right where your handis. Perfect it's one hand on
(25:47):
the ocean handle. On the otherhand is like gripping the side of his
seat. All right, so youreach down there by the seat and a
handle somehow is on the side ofthe seats like this. This is super
weird, but fuck it. Allright. Taylor is also going to be
like, we should probably cross trainon this vehicle, just in case that
is incapacitated. If I'm incapacitated,I don't think the vehicle still exists.
(26:10):
Yeah it doesn't. Yeah, soif you not. If I get knocked
out while driving it, it's justgonna oh my god, CPK from your
vehicle disappearing at seventy miles hour.What if we used it to launch ourselves
(26:32):
forward, Yeah, knock a chokedBentley out while we're mid air. New
rule, new rule, if weever like jump into the air, Dixie
plays magically? Oh god, allright, well, I mean it's a
magic it's literally a magic well it'snot a magic school bus, but it's
a magic car. You know whatit should have been the magic school bus.
(26:57):
It just you guys, you're sittingthere and it just morphs into the
magic school bus. So so Bentleywith your with your roles, I would
say, you guys make it there. Not really much of a problem,
And you did get some weird lookswhile you were going through the countryside.
But as you approach, you seethe GPS is telling you where you need
(27:21):
to go. As you approach,you see a fire burning out near the
main road. No need to takethis offline. Overworked and underplayed. We'll
circle back after these messages. Andas you get closer, you spot what
appear to be humanoid creatures crawling allover the shack identified as the witch's house.
(27:44):
Is there actually a sign? Yeah? All right, guys, I
think we're in the right place.Okay, Well, if a fairy tales
have taught me anything, don't eatanything, especially if it something looks delicious.
If it looks not DELI just don'tneed that. Also, I guess
don't take candy for strangers. Yes, all right? And are any of
(28:07):
the windows rolled down or are theyrolled up? I mean, I guess
it depends on what the party wantedto do. I mean, the driver's
side window is obviously going to bedown. It's gotta Bentley learned young that
it's great to have the air conditioningblowing full blast. And you guys are
(28:30):
you guys are experiencing air conditioning forthe first time in months to get out
of the car. Yeah, thecar. As you guys pull up at
the house, Bentley, you wouldhear the distinct sound of goblins chattering while
they were surrounding the house with burningtorches. I need I need everyone to
(28:55):
roll initiative. I mean got ahen Richard got a thirteen, Bentley got
a fourteen, Taylor got a seven. Does the vehicle get a turned so
the vehicle is not sentient? Okay, but Bentley is driving the vehicle.
(29:15):
Okay, Bentley got a fourteen?All right, at the top of the
order, it is Crystal. SoCrystal, you said you were in the
You were in the like very backin the camper. So you as you
guys are pulling up, you're sittingthere just kind of chilling, and Bentley
slammed on the brakes kind of hard, and you came off your chair and
(29:37):
you look out the window, likewhy are we stopping? And you see
the goblins, you said, whatappeared to be goblins surrounding a house with
torches. What do you do?I jump out and I say, like
I shout at the top of myI need her stop, okay, make
me a Are you trying to persuadethem or are you trying to intimidate them?
(30:00):
Hmmm, persuade? Okay, makeme a persuasion role, she says,
like I was a questioning it isfifteen. Okay, I'll see.
So you see as one of thegoblins, like the goblins kind of stop
what they're doing for a second,and they kind of look at each other,
(30:22):
and you see one of them likeshrugs his shoulders and draws a bow
and points it in your direction.But do you want to do anything else
with your turn? Or is thatit? Yep? I do. I'm
going to cast wind. Oh okay, yeah, that's what I want to.
So they take three D eight damageif I hit them, So I
(30:56):
do. Now each that is,each creature in the area must make a
strength saving throw. So what youI'm going to Since you're looking closer,
I'm going to go ahead and giveyou a better description. So you see
what appear to be six goblins withweapons. You see one goblin with a
(31:18):
staff and like a skull helmet,and then you see one thing that kind
of looks like a goblin, buthe's really really big. So let's see
what's your save spell save d C. Okay, so how much damage did
you say it was? Okay,so you see where there was six goblin
(31:44):
raiders. You see three of themjust get yeaded against a tree and they're
no longer moving. But the other, the really big looking goblin and the
one with the skull helmet both justkind of dig their feet in and they
both look at you, and andthe one with the skull helmet starts yelling
(32:05):
things in goblin. And you seeas all the goblins are now pointed at
your direction. Hey, guys,all right, and that takes us,
that takes us to Bentley. Bentleyis gonna be like, well, let's
see what this can do. Where'soh god, where's the biggest group of
goblins? So that would be thethree goblin raiders all Bentley's just gonna floor
(32:30):
it and try to drive into thethree cobblin reader. Okay, so for
that, let me pull this backup. Okay, So what speed are
you going to try to do thisin? Uh, just just gonna floor
it, try to do it fullspeed. Okay. So you came to
(32:52):
a stop, so you can goup one speed per turn. So that's
going to be stand So I andthis is not a road you're going,
you're basically cutting through her yard.So I'm gonna need you to roll your
vehicle handling check with disadvantage to seeif you can hit them. You said
(33:14):
that was a plus sevens, Yes, thirteen and nineteen, So thirteen Jesus
Christ. Okay. So so youdefinitely hit the group of goblin raiders.
(33:37):
Okay, so you deal you dealabout twenty two damage. Two damage.
It's disappinting. No twenty two damage. Oh, twenty two damage each of
these goblins that basically pop like balloonsas you run into them. Now,
(33:57):
I need you to make a dexteritysafe to see if you can get on
the brakes before hitting the house.I definitely cannot. That's a four.
Okay. So Bentley bowls right throughthe goblins, at which point he sees
that the health gauge of his truckwent to about three quarters of a tank,
(34:20):
and then he barrels almost full speedinto the house. Let's see everyone,
everyone else is still in the truck. We'll get to that in a
second. Hey, who all's wearingtheir seat belt? Everyone's seat belt did
not put the didn't be driving ifpeople didn't have their seat belt, though,
(34:45):
it's a rule buckle up or clickit or ticket. I want to
say so at this point, becausewe didn't know that. I want to
say that Amy I kind of didit to like show that she was doing
it, but not really. Itwas like across her, but not like
plugged in. Oh my god,what the wait? Amy Ann doesn't wear
(35:06):
her seat belt? That is Thatis what I'm here for, is the
new lore? Okay, So Ineed everyone to make a we'll call it
a constitution saving throw to see howbad you're hurt by this running into this
wall at thirty miles an hour?Oh what's the walls? Hbuh? Not
(35:27):
much said constitution saving through yes isyeah, Crystal Crystal. I thought Crystal
made the dumbest decision of everybody bygetting out of the truck so far away.
But what Crystal sees and she gotout, nuked three goblins and it's
slammed into a building. So consideringyou were in the back surrounded by god
(35:52):
knows what with no seat belt,you've made the best decision you possibly could
have. Okay, so what didyou roll? I got a four on
that con save Okay, So Richard, obviously the seat belt was designed for
the ninety sixth percentile. Uh,you need a booster seat and we'll get
(36:14):
back to that. Amy An,what did you roll? Twenty three?
Two? Three? Okay? Didyou roll? I'm sorry? Did you
roll with disadvantage? Since you're notwearing your seat belt? Was I supposed
to? I'm sorry. I meantto tell you that beforehand. I'm not
just trying to let me try it. Oh well, twenty two all right,
(36:37):
so somehow you just managed to bracejust right? All right? Taylor
Jacobs, what did you roll?Shet? Okay? Nineteen, so you're
good? Uh and drunk night Bentley, what did you h? What did
you roll? Okay? So Bentley, you just pass. Uh. So
(36:57):
everyone passes except for Richard, whichis unfortunate. Everyone. So the truck
took a total of forty four damagethe truck. After this, the truck
will be gone. It would disappearuntil Bentley casts the spell again. So
(37:21):
you are Richard, You're going totake twenty damage from like basically going through
the seat belt and bouncing off ofthe dashboard. Everyone else, I have
a question. Everyone else is goingto take ten damage. Oh, but
in the truck had disappeared as soonas it hit, So you really would
have just said face versus of thehouse. Either way. Either way,
(37:43):
you're all taking some damage on thatone. I had known that he was
such a shitty driver. He's beendrinking all day. What do you expect?
I am a very good driver.I'll have you all right. How
many goblins did we killed? You'vekilled so far? The six? You've
(38:06):
killed six goblin raiders? All right, Richard, it is now your turn.
As you are. You're also allprone since since the truck disappeared,
you're all on the ground prone.Oh wow, yeah, you really are
a sht driver. Bentley all right, Richard? Yeah? What did He's
a little dazed? So how manypeople are left alive? So you see
(38:29):
one horrified looking goblin with a skullhelmet, and you see another like really
big goblin, like like bigger thanBentley. We didn't even ask them what
they were doing? Yeah, Richardalso was thinking that two people went ahead
of him in line were doing okay, okay, So how how far how
(39:00):
far away are the two things likethe skullhead guy and the giant horns?
So they are like ten feet awayfrom you for me, and how far
away from each other? So Iwould say they're about ten feet from each
other. Okay, that works.Did we get a description of the witch
she's not a goblin issue? No, as far as you know, as
far as we know, that wouldbe very unfortuate. No, No,
(39:24):
I'm gonna go ahead and tell youshe's not a goblin. Although now thinking
about it, that would have beenreally funny. Oh it's a goblin,
we gotta kill it. No,that was the That was this. Yeah,
and this is fallout rules, sothere is no TAKESI back seats.
Well in that case, he's like, well, I hope you're looking at
(39:45):
this, and he like points hisfinger at like in between the two goblins.
I like squints his eye over hismonocle focus and he cast shatter.
Oh god, you guys went forthe smoke him if you got him method
(40:05):
of combat I forgot. It's notlike the truck costs a smell, slaughter
or anything. Yeah. Okay,so they need to make a con saving
throw. Okay, constitution saving throwfor each of them seventeen Jesus Christ.
(40:27):
Okay, so one of them gotan eighteen and the other one got it,
and the other one got a two. So the one that got to
two was the big dumb one andhe just kind of so the other one.
You see him hold up his staffand he kind of deflects the magic
away. The other one, theBritish one, just takes a full on
(40:50):
blast from the thunder damage. Sogo ahead and give me damage roll twelve,
all right. So he takes twelvedamage and he's gonna have the club
that he was holding basically shatter intoa million pieces. He's got splinters now
and uh, you see as helooks at you and he goes, you
(41:15):
guys started it. Yeah, okay, So now it is Amy Ann you
are on the ground, is goingto take his movement to stand up.
Okay, so I'm gonna I assumedyou stood up first, but that's fine
too, all right, Amyen,it is now your turn. So can
you set the scene for me again? What who all standing? So Bentley
(41:37):
is past is basically laid out inthe ground, Richard just stood up.
Crystal's way back where you guys were, and Taylor Jacobs is still like dazed
and on the ground. Okay,okay to herself, like we could have
just talked to him. No,Bentley sees goblins and he he had he
(41:59):
had PTSD flashbacks from last time.What are you talking about this? Because
Crystal fucking attacked them first. Ijust want you to know that Crystal was
threatened. She did not. Shewas like passed off, and he was
(42:20):
like, I'm gonna do the oppositeof that, and she was like,
never mind. I think it'd beeven funnier if Crystal did it by accident,
Like she's still not that great withher magic. She just was waving
and accidentally yeaded them into a tree. Uh, the one she learned during
level up. Okay, oh,she did this on purpose. One thing
nice? All right, So Amyen, what are you doing? Yeah?
(42:43):
So I'll pull myself up, mygosh, geez, spit out some leaves
or whatever it was on the ground, and a stand up, dust myself
off a little bit. And howfar away from the front door of the
witch's place? Am I? So? Well, I guess that's also relevant.
You're you're about twenty feet from thefront door. But you just made
(43:05):
a new door, okay, aspart of her house is collapsed now where
you lay into it? Can Ilook in and see and holler? Hello?
Are you okay? Sorry about that? Hello? So there is no
answer? Oh, Okay, amI How far where am I from?
(43:30):
The two standing goblins? So you'reabout ten feet ten feet? Okay?
All right, so as I seeand there's nobody in there, like I'm
going to turn around and kind ofrun over to the nearest goblin and try
to put him in a choke hold. Okay, so they're both about the
same distance. Do you want theone with the skull hat or do you
(43:52):
want the one that looks like abig brute guy. Let's see here,
Let's do the one with the skullhat, because I think I'm intuiting that
he is like the more likely tocommunicate. Okay, so you're trying to
go put him in a headlock?Yes, all right, so go go
(44:14):
make an attack roll okay, allright, that is nineteen okay, So
you come up on him and thatturns into a crit or twenty turns into
a kryt. Yeah, oh okay, well you definitely. So he tries
(44:36):
to slip slip your grip, butyou tighten up just enough and he's like
you just hear him, like hestops, like he's saying all kinds of
mean things you assume in goblin.And when you get your grip just right.
You just hear him go, ohshit, all right? Is this?
So how tall is the goblin?Like three feet? Yeah? Okay,
(45:00):
So I feel like once I gothim like in a good choke hold
like this, I just stand upand I'm holding them like that. All
right, So we'll come back tothat. Yeah, yeah, all right.
So is anyone else? Oh okay, No, So now it's their
turn. So first thing that's goingto happen is the what you would now.
(45:23):
Well, I don't know if thiswould mean anything to your characters,
but the bugbear brute charges right forRichard, and he is going to use
his charge feature and attack Richard twice. Oh no, Richard? Why Richard
(45:43):
does a nineteen hit? Oh?Where's my thing? It does hit?
All right? What about a thirteen? A thirteen does not? Okay,
So first swipe, he swings wildlyat you and you just barely dodge it.
But then the like as you're gettingexcited that you'd dodge the attack,
he just sucker punches you right inthe face. Uh and uh. He's
(46:06):
using the shards of wood that arethat are stuck in his hand from where
you blew up his club. Thatsounds right, so you are going to
take d M is there? Didhe walk by Amy Ann to go to
not close enough to you? Okay? So Richard, you are going to
(46:28):
take nine points of damage right tothe face. Oh fuck. And then
he is going to roar at you. That doesn't do anything. He just
is really mad, all right.Then the goblin with the skull hat,
which you would identify as a goblinshaman, he is going to he's going
(46:52):
to say wait, wait, wait, wait, and he's gonna like he's
going to touch your arm like he'stapping out. Yeah, and must see
does a nineteen hit just barely?Yes? It hits? Oh I got
(47:12):
I have to ask in film,I know as you take let's see.
Oh so it did. So hehad disadvantage with that attack, right because
he's grappled. I'll reroll with disadvantage. Okay. I also didn't do any
(47:37):
damage on him. I didn't rolldamage. Okay, Well, I mean
that's up to you. It dependson what you're trying to do. Does
an eighteen hit it does? Yes? Okay, so you take serious.
(47:58):
You take eighteen points of necrotic damageas he casts inflict wounds on your arm.
Oh and he and he giggles,He's a It is now Taylor Jacob's
turn. So there's how many left? Now? Just the two. There's
there's a big British one that's tryingto murder Richard's face, and then there
(48:22):
is the one with the skull hatthat amy Ann has grappled. Okay,
So Taylor sees the big old oneeating Richard's face song, and she's gonna
go into her rage because nobody fusedwith Richard, and she's gonna take out
(48:45):
her great sword and try and hithim with it. Okay, So go
ahead and roll attack. Yeah,that is a thirteen. Thirteen is not
going to hit. Okay, Well, she's gonna Can she do an extra
attack even if she didn't hit thefirst time? Yeah? Yeah, you
(49:06):
have two attacks with an attack actionat level five, she's gonna try again.
Yay. Okay, so that's adirty twenty all right, that will
hit. Let's see seven plus fiveso twelve. How do you want to
(49:31):
do this? Oh, she alreadyfeels guilty, So just like quick like
stab them through the heart. Probably. So Richard, you just took this,
You just took this hit right tothe face and you look up and
it roars at you, and aboutthe time it's roar ends, you just
see Taylor Jacob's sword pierce right throughits chest and just spray you with blood.
(49:59):
And uh, my mouth was open, all right. So then we
come uh, then we come backup to the top with Crystal. Crystal,
you just watched all this happen froma distance. Got one right or
is it all dead? So soCrystal, what I'm gonna say is,
(50:21):
this is what happened. You.You got hit with like pebbles and a
cloud of dust from Bentley just buryingthe throttle. And as the dust clears,
like you heard all this happen,and as the dust clears, you
just see Bentley laid out. Yousee Richard covered in blood, you see
a goblin impaled on Taylor's sword,and you see amy An has the other
one like in a headlock. Whatdo you do? Wow, I'm really
(50:46):
glad I got out of that car. So there's just one left. There's
one left and a headlock. Yes, imagine if full speed I am,
I will be questioning whether or notwe utilize this mode of transportation. Ever
(51:06):
again, you can walk, Ican, and I just might honestly,
Okay, I'm going to walk up. I don't think I'm going to attack.
I think that person's in a headlock. I feel like they're pretty subdued.
I wonder if I've got anything thatwill like knock them out without killing
them, because that's kind of myor you know what, how about So
(51:28):
whose heart worse, Richard or Richard. Richard's like, I like, he's
just drifting off and He's like,can I Richard's down to like a couple
of hit points? Probably I amin the single digits. Yeah, So
(51:50):
I'm going to cast healing word onRichard, which will be at the second
level. So it's two D fourplus four, so you get ten points
of walk it off Richard, walkit off that Hey, Crystal, is
that all you're gonna do? There'snothing close to me? Do you want
to do you want to get closerto the party? Yes? I do.
(52:13):
Yeah, I do want to geta little closer. Alex is gonna
dragon us. No, I'm nottrying to drag anything in the areas.
I can inside the half destroyed building, Can I see if there's anybody in
the building? So you don't youwouldn't be able to see anything from that
(52:34):
distance, like as you're getting closer. You look and you're like, there's
not really any good windows to peekin or anything. You guys, hear
a voice from behind you that says, what the hell happened to my house?

(00:22):
All right, and I'm pretty surethis isn't exactly like they are in real
life. But there's like nine coupholders in here. Imagine how many beers
that we can have in this thingwhile we driving? Is it drunk driving
if you're driving a magical vehicle?I mean, there's probably no open container
laws in this world. It's becausethey don't have vehicles, so it's probably
it's not against the law as longas they don't hit anything to be fine.
(00:44):
Yeah, I mean what's there tohit? I mean it's open road,
so it's like it's gonna be soeasy. So how'd your training go
with you learning to bard more?I think it's pretty good. I feel
like I got some cool spells thatI can do. You know that thing
I showed you when we were inthe library. I can make myself look
tall again. Even if it's onlyfor ten minutes, it feels like it's
for a long time. Yeah.Yeah, they're very fair, and i'd
(01:07):
me learning to hit someone twice insteadof once. I'm sure that will come
in a lot of handy like,Well, we're gonna be getting close right
where they at? Where are wemeeting them? I think probably head to
fact smoke cloud over there. Ithink that's probably the right direction most likely.
(01:27):
Whoa buddy like you pulled up alittle closer? Don't you think it's
fine? This thing breaks like acharm. Greetings listeners, I'm Alex Capps.
(01:48):
You're DM or District manager and thisis overworked and underplayed. A D
and D podcast. Four Young Professionalsby Young Professionals. Today's icebreaker is something
that always makes you laugh, nomatter how many times you've seen, read,
or heard it. What Up?It's your boy, Marcel Hardy playing
Richard Cox, a human consultants turnedhalfling bard who holy believes it's better to
(02:10):
be lucky than good, but it'sbest to be both. And something that
makes Richard laugh no matter how manytimes he's seen it is the scene and
what we do in the shadows whereNandor recounts his summer of reawakening and he
gets sucked into an air pure fireand then his hair is just pure white.
Or when the scene when he's onthe news and he's like, I'm
Nandor the Relentless and then like thelittle subtitles like Nandor de Laurentz. Actually,
(02:35):
you know it just everything from thatshow. Hello, my name is
Anlain Hardy, and I play TaylorJacobs, a centaur barbarian with a heart
of gold. And something that makesher laugh every time she watches it is
you know that show Baskets. Sothere's one episode where like Martha finds a
dog like on the side of theroad and like takes it home and it's
(02:59):
like just drawing her house and she'slike super frustrated, and I'm pretty sure
the dog even like bites her orwhatever, and it's just like a mess.
And so then zag Alfanakas comes overand she's like, please help me.
I don't know what to do.She's like at herwit's end, and
he's like, Martha, that's acoyote watched documentary. Ever you didn't know
(03:29):
coyote? Oh my god, Heyeveryone, I'm Katie, and I play
Crystal the draw Druid with her veryown MLM. And the thing that always
makes Crystal laugh is awkward celebrity interviews. So like anytime someone gets on a
red carpet and the reporter just sayslike the most off the wall things,
(03:50):
and the celebrity doesn't know what todo because they're trying to be nice,
but they don't know how to benice because it's the weirdest question ever.
It's the best thing. Hey,I'm Marjorie. I play Amy and Amanda,
a basic, brough and tumble humanfighter with a freshly minted dentistry decree.
Oh my gosh, Okay. Amenloves it when you put little costumes
(04:11):
on like dogs or catsies, youwalk around like it never fails. It's
hilarious. Loves it. Hi amTyler, the It Paladin and dragon Ball
z abridged. That is good.It doesn't matter how many times I watched
that. I always die And onceagain I am Alex Capps, your DM
(04:34):
or district manager. And as faras DMS go, one thing that will
always make me laugh no matter howmany times I see it are the player's

(05:19):
left off, Bentley got a newtruck. Let's see, Oh god,
Oh, if you lose concentration,you're definitely going to be CALLI squatting it.
Oh god. No, Richard gottaller temporarily momentarily Yeah, And Crystal
(05:40):
found out that there may be athird Crystal running around. No maybe,
I mean here, I thought itwas just the second Crystal. I don't
know. It could be had waspart of triplets. Like things have already
(06:01):
gone pear shaped for once, solike, wouldn't it be all it would
all be all that shocking if someoneis just someone else had the bright idea
to try and steal from Bristle.Anything else happens is be going dragon fruit
shaped bo I hope you know whenpeople don't find it funny, that makes
(06:26):
it even better for us. Allright, so we're going to pick up
the following morning. You guys allhad a nice evening to figure out your
next move, and you awaken atthe Crow's nest and find that all of
your downline has already woken up andbefore you and continued working trying to fill
(06:49):
orders. Okay, well manufacturing lightat this point. Yeah, apparently Crystal's
secret last name is Ford. Yeah, apparently the assembly line in this world
(07:10):
she was. She was originally fromDetoria. All right, so you guys
wake up and you find your workerbees diligently at it. What do you
do? I feel like I can'tbreathe, like all of those fumes of
just like soak into all of liketextiles in here. You see one of
the humans looks and he goes,you get used to it? This solid
(07:40):
yesterday? Yeah, I'm going togo right back to the window that I
opened it apparently they shut, andI'm going to open it back up again.
I'm going to be like, youguys, don't have to do this
to yourself. I get that Iwork you guys to the bone. But
you don't have to do this toyourself. You can literally open and then
she's going to go figure out ifthey were able to utilize her adjustments to
(08:00):
the formulas to help make the orderseasier to build. And so you go
and check and the person in chargeof this particular line says, uh,
yeah, we made the adjustments justas you wrote down. And got to
say, not only are we isit easier to make it? Uh,
but we haven't had nearly as manynegative reactions. What were those reactions?
(08:30):
Well, see Timothy over there,and you see a gnome kind of holds
up his hand. He says,last week his hands were half that size
from handling the chemicals all day,but they've gotten back to normal. Now.
Good, she's gonna walk away,No more questions. As you're walking
away, another one of the guyscomes up. He says, Miss Crystal,
(08:54):
I wanted to say thank you.Sure, he says, I I
never felt like my family would beable to be financially independent, but you
know it did require us leveraging allof our assets, like our house and
everything. But we we feel reallyconfident and we believe in what you're trying
(09:15):
to do, and you should.You should believe in what I'm trying to
do because we are improving the worldwith productivity and we are making people's lives
easier and worn to I'm so gladis another room a tend of industry.
She's going to walk off. She'sjust like, she's like, she's used
(09:35):
to this, Like this is She'sback where she will right, Crystal has
entered her villain arc. She she'sentered her I say, she took a
stumble, but she's back to theOh god, hey, Crystal. Not
(10:01):
that we've had a decent night ofslave, but had some more time to
think about this. Did Montiac evertell you, like who these customers are?
Now, that's a good question aboutwho my customers are. Like,
I track my downline because that's whereI make my money. Yeah, but
this one has made me very paranoidand suspicious, Like how do we know
(10:22):
that the customers aren't actually fake customers? Oh? I don't know. You
seem to be having some really goodideas, slately, So I'm gonna go
whatever you want to do. She'slike, yes, frame Crystal, frame
frame the other Crystal, So yeah, sure, why not go for it?
Richard, let's find out who thesepeople are. Okay, So I
(10:43):
guess that means we should probably talkto Montiac. That's some more information.
So you go knock on Montiac's doorand you just hear snoring. I don't
think he's gonna I don't. Heseems really tired. We should probably just
Taylor, you're do we want toscare him? He's done such a good
(11:05):
job, like he deserves his rest. But maybe we chat when we get
back from the witch. Yeah,right, yeah, I'll be right back.
Bitley goes outside and starts ritual casting. He's always got to like where
are my keys? Like, wheredo you what? It's the diesel version,
(11:26):
so he's got to go warm itup first before you can like really
fire it up and everything. He'sout there the ritual. It's the truck's
there, but he's like checking theoil and checking the fluids and not a
Yeah, since there's a doppelganger around, should we take any precautions? Like
(11:52):
we have our bracelets, so weshould be able to tell if another Crystal
comes by and she doesn't have abracelet on. I have an idea.
Okay, what is it, Bentley? I saw an anime ones. Let's
put them X on our wrists.We wrapp around it in like some type
of like fabric bandage. That way, if we have to show each other
where us, you show the X, but to other people they won't know
(12:15):
that's there. It was in onepiece. Trust, it was in one
piece. As I said, didit work? Yes, it works.
They managed to take down the Doppergame or dude, no problem A great,
okay, all right, so let'sget to work that little Is that
in conjunction with the mind communication riskbrand that cheat their duication have I think
(12:37):
one or both of those things willdefinitely work two factor authentication it is.
That's true because they could sneakingly steala bracelet and we don't know it was
the doctor d have one. Soso so I imagine out of earshot of
everybody else, I want to usethe bracelet talk to Crystal and say,
(13:01):
Crystal, give me a code word. Just give me a code word and
remember it Claire no no, somethingthat they won't be brilliance code word and
then that I'm glad they would neverthink of that word where like you know,
(13:41):
Rosebud Horrible Sensations or whatever it wascalled my code word to you,
Crystal, just in case. Idon't think it will ever happen because I'm
not that important to this particular storyline. But I'm going to tell you my
code word is xylophone. Oh okay, well my code word is I don't
(14:13):
know. I don't know. Youcan make it up, Crystal, Is
that's there? I used to havinga lot more time to plan out product
launches. Okay, gosh, whatwas that? I don't know what that
was like? You don't know,drinking and driving promise? No, No,
(14:43):
that that's part. That's part ofthe original cast. You have to
open a cold Oh god, thisis reminding me more and more of going
off writing. Yeah no, Crystal, if you remember my code word,
that might be enough. But Ifeel like you might be better for,
(15:07):
you know, you to tell meone that you made up. And this
is just me and Crystal conversation thatI'm doing in the brain. We're doing
telepathic then let's do Kim Kardashian.Kim Kardashian. Okay, Okay, it
doesn't exist in this world. Okay, So about this time, can Crystal
(15:30):
get like a call waiting? AndTaylor just also, yeah, that's fine.
I think that's hilarious. She's like, I'm just gonna transfer to this
other line. It's mergery on holdor any on hold. So Taylor is
gonna be like, hey, weshould probably have a code word. I'm
(15:52):
gonna get this is a completely originalidea. That and your think where it's
(16:12):
gonna be xylophone. Richard is nowalso gonna call me incoming call from Richard
Cox hold on hold on Taylor.Okay, so when you put Taylor on
(16:33):
hold, it connects her to Amym No, Hey, we should come
up with a code name. Sowhen Richard connects with christ Hey, Bentley,
we should probably come up with acode word. You have the wrong
(17:03):
number. IM sorry about that,Crystal, Well, I guess yeah,
we probably also should come up witha code word. Handing there in silence,
noticed that Crystal gets another call waiting. I don't even know we could
like, okay, sure that's right, hello, Crystal, this is doctor
(17:33):
D. We should probably come upwith a code He just hangs up all
the couses drop everyone once he leftthere on the line like it's just after
(17:55):
the chat that was that was thatwas that character that was just just that's
funny. Yeah, I couldn't helpmyself. Twenty minutes and we've made it.
What's everybody's word? All right,go to the witch. I say,
(18:27):
we were just waiting on Ben.We're just killing time until the truck
was ready. Over and over again. You hear him honk the horn twice.
It just sounds like the runner.Oh yeah, that's actually good.
Just the road runner, That's whatit sounds like. But like it sounds
(18:48):
like one of those horns that likesounds too, like high pitched vehicle.
All right, so you guys needto do anything before you head out of
the city. I think we're goodto go off roading. Okay, the
coolers packed. Wait, we havea moving, a freaking moving what's the
(19:11):
we're looking for? Tiny Lehman's tidyhut? Is that a little broken?
It depends on how is it.Let me let me tell you something.
There's no such thing as an unbalancedplayer character or an overpowered magic item.
There's only bad dms. So canwe leave a note for Captain Montiac so
(19:32):
he knows like what we're doing,so he like doesn't get fooled if someone
comes in our place or whatever,you know what I mean, Like if
we're gone and she shows back upand pretends to be Crystal again, like
what the so? So Captain Montiacruns outside and he goes Crystal, Crystal,
maybe we should have some sort ofcode blood. She's like, that's
(20:03):
going to be just a bunch ofwords that could be code words. But
maybe we give him a set ofsecurity questions. My code word, but
like three things that they have toget right. Next, next icebreaker?
What is your safe word? Ican't do that. We don't we have
(20:29):
an extra bracelet? I don't knowmake one? I think we I think
we had I had two. Atone point it was like by Bentley has
too because he has the one thatyou gave him that was remembers. Yeah,
and also the extra one that youmade. Okay, would you want
to give him one of those?Not really? I kind of like having
(20:52):
to. Why do you? Whydo you need to? It makes me
feel special you you don't need braceletsto be spent Bentley, you already are.
How long would it take you tojust make another one? Well,
we don't have the artificer with us. Shoot, that's right and now and
now Richard is sad. We havegiven Captain Okay, Captain Montiac looks and
(21:19):
says, I will cherish this forthe rest of my life. You probably
will to all two hours left.He puts it on his wrist and he
pushes the gem and says, isthis thing on? Excuse me? Hello?
Can you hear me? Yeah?We got you? Oh my god,
(21:40):
that is so weird. That's goingto take some getting used to.
I'm used to to their only beingmy voices in my head, not other
people's voices. You can call someonespecific. Don't kiss into the mic.
It makes amy Um uncomfortable, notas long as it's not all rook doing
(22:11):
it. Okay, Okay, Sothat's why that's why man has a given
all work a bracelet. Yeah,I don't know if I want to know
what he's thinking. No, probablynot. Okay, So to the witch
in the woods, right, wegot all piled into this Toyota Tacoma.
(22:33):
Yes, on our way, Idon't know. All right, let's see,
but we have to go the speedlimit through town though. Are there
speed limit signs posted? I don'tknow, But if legally speaking, if
the speed limit sign is not posted, you have to assume it's thirty five
miles per hour in the state ofwherever we're at. I'm going to assume
(22:57):
thirty five poles per hours, Isay, pretty fast, so let's all
right, not twenty so Bentley,The way this works is the vehicle has
three speeds. So since you're movingthrough the town, I want you to
go ahead and make a cautious vehiclehandling check. All right, So I
get a plus seven. Yeah,that is a three. Okay, so
(23:22):
you are able to cautiously drive aroundand dodge you know, pretty much anybody
who steps out in front of you. You're going pretty slow, but you
make it to the gates pretty well. You're getting a lot of weird looks,
but then you see a lot ofother people who are just like just
another day in Levron. They're usedto seeing kind of weird stuff. So
(23:45):
you make it outside of the cityand before you you see you have about
I would say, about fifteen milesto your destination. So do you want
to try to speed up or doyou want to continue going cautiously. Let's
try. I mean, we're notreally in a hurry, right, so
I guess we could just go cautiously. All right, Grandma, you know
(24:10):
what I'm offended. We're going We'regoing maximum speed off maximum speed is what
you're going for object medium okay.Okay, so you shift into second So
I'm gonna just for shorthand I'm gonnacall it first, second, and third.
Okay. So in second gear,you're going along the main road and
it's pretty bumpy, but you're handlingit. Okay, go ahead and make
(24:33):
me another vehicle handling check fourteen plusnumbers one. Okay. So you you're
going along and a cow runs rightout in front of you. Guys,
what do you do the opposite directionof the cows? Okay? Me a
(25:00):
dex hold on, make me adex saving throw. Oh my god,
gonna be decks. It doesn't matter. I'm awesome. That is a nineteen.
So you you perfectly like conside torifto around the cow. What is
(25:23):
everybody else in the vehicle doing?Multi truck yelling? Yeah, reaching for
the ocean handle, but his armis not long enough to quite reach it.
So he's like got his hand onthe window and his other hand on
the seat. So as you asyou're like reaching for the oce ship handle,
one magically appears right where your handis. Perfect it's one hand on
(25:47):
the ocean handle. On the otherhand is like gripping the side of his
seat. All right, so youreach down there by the seat and a
handle somehow is on the side ofthe seats like this. This is super
weird, but fuck it. Allright. Taylor is also going to be
like, we should probably cross trainon this vehicle, just in case that
is incapacitated. If I'm incapacitated,I don't think the vehicle still exists.
(26:10):
Yeah it doesn't. Yeah, soif you not. If I get knocked
out while driving it, it's justgonna oh my god, CPK from your
vehicle disappearing at seventy miles hour.What if we used it to launch ourselves
(26:32):
forward, Yeah, knock a chokedBentley out while we're mid air. New
rule, new rule, if weever like jump into the air, Dixie
plays magically? Oh god, allright, well, I mean it's a
magic it's literally a magic well it'snot a magic school bus, but it's
a magic car. You know whatit should have been the magic school bus.
(26:57):
It just you guys, you're sittingthere and it just morphs into the
magic school bus. So so Bentleywith your with your roles, I would
say, you guys make it there. Not really much of a problem,
And you did get some weird lookswhile you were going through the countryside.
But as you approach, you seethe GPS is telling you where you need
(27:21):
to go. As you approach,you see a fire burning out near the
main road. No need to takethis offline. Overworked and underplayed. We'll
circle back after these messages. Andas you get closer, you spot what
appear to be humanoid creatures crawling allover the shack identified as the witch's house.
(27:44):
Is there actually a sign? Yeah? All right, guys, I
think we're in the right place.Okay, Well, if a fairy tales
have taught me anything, don't eatanything, especially if it something looks delicious.
If it looks not DELI just don'tneed that. Also, I guess
don't take candy for strangers. Yes, all right? And are any of
(28:07):
the windows rolled down or are theyrolled up? I mean, I guess
it depends on what the party wantedto do. I mean, the driver's
side window is obviously going to bedown. It's gotta Bentley learned young that
it's great to have the air conditioningblowing full blast. And you guys are
(28:30):
you guys are experiencing air conditioning forthe first time in months to get out
of the car. Yeah, thecar. As you guys pull up at
the house, Bentley, you wouldhear the distinct sound of goblins chattering while
they were surrounding the house with burningtorches. I need I need everyone to
(28:55):
roll initiative. I mean got ahen Richard got a thirteen, Bentley got
a fourteen, Taylor got a seven. Does the vehicle get a turned so
the vehicle is not sentient? Okay, but Bentley is driving the vehicle.
(29:15):
Okay, Bentley got a fourteen?All right, at the top of the
order, it is Crystal. SoCrystal, you said you were in the
You were in the like very backin the camper. So you as you
guys are pulling up, you're sittingthere just kind of chilling, and Bentley
slammed on the brakes kind of hard, and you came off your chair and
(29:37):
you look out the window, likewhy are we stopping? And you see
the goblins, you said, whatappeared to be goblins surrounding a house with
torches. What do you do?I jump out and I say, like
I shout at the top of myI need her stop, okay, make
me a Are you trying to persuadethem or are you trying to intimidate them?
(30:00):
Hmmm, persuade? Okay, makeme a persuasion role, she says,
like I was a questioning it isfifteen. Okay, I'll see.
So you see as one of thegoblins, like the goblins kind of stop
what they're doing for a second,and they kind of look at each other,
(30:22):
and you see one of them likeshrugs his shoulders and draws a bow
and points it in your direction.But do you want to do anything else
with your turn? Or is thatit? Yep? I do. I'm
going to cast wind. Oh okay, yeah, that's what I want to.
So they take three D eight damageif I hit them, So I
(30:56):
do. Now each that is,each creature in the area must make a
strength saving throw. So what youI'm going to Since you're looking closer,
I'm going to go ahead and giveyou a better description. So you see
what appear to be six goblins withweapons. You see one goblin with a
(31:18):
staff and like a skull helmet,and then you see one thing that kind
of looks like a goblin, buthe's really really big. So let's see
what's your save spell save d C. Okay, so how much damage did
you say it was? Okay,so you see where there was six goblin
(31:44):
raiders. You see three of themjust get yeaded against a tree and they're
no longer moving. But the other, the really big looking goblin and the
one with the skull helmet both justkind of dig their feet in and they
both look at you, and andthe one with the skull helmet starts yelling
(32:05):
things in goblin. And you seeas all the goblins are now pointed at
your direction. Hey, guys,all right, and that takes us,
that takes us to Bentley. Bentleyis gonna be like, well, let's
see what this can do. Where'soh god, where's the biggest group of
goblins? So that would be thethree goblin raiders all Bentley's just gonna floor
(32:30):
it and try to drive into thethree cobblin reader. Okay, so for
that, let me pull this backup. Okay, So what speed are
you going to try to do thisin? Uh, just just gonna floor
it, try to do it fullspeed. Okay. So you came to
(32:52):
a stop, so you can goup one speed per turn. So that's
going to be stand So I andthis is not a road you're going,
you're basically cutting through her yard.So I'm gonna need you to roll your
vehicle handling check with disadvantage to seeif you can hit them. You said
(33:14):
that was a plus sevens, Yes, thirteen and nineteen, So thirteen Jesus
Christ. Okay. So so youdefinitely hit the group of goblin raiders.
(33:37):
Okay, so you deal you dealabout twenty two damage. Two damage.
It's disappinting. No twenty two damage. Oh, twenty two damage each of
these goblins that basically pop like balloonsas you run into them. Now,
(33:57):
I need you to make a dexteritysafe to see if you can get on
the brakes before hitting the house.I definitely cannot. That's a four.
Okay. So Bentley bowls right throughthe goblins, at which point he sees
that the health gauge of his truckwent to about three quarters of a tank,
(34:20):
and then he barrels almost full speedinto the house. Let's see everyone,
everyone else is still in the truck. We'll get to that in a
second. Hey, who all's wearingtheir seat belt? Everyone's seat belt did
not put the didn't be driving ifpeople didn't have their seat belt, though,
(34:45):
it's a rule buckle up or clickit or ticket. I want to
say so at this point, becausewe didn't know that. I want to
say that Amy I kind of didit to like show that she was doing
it, but not really. Itwas like across her, but not like
plugged in. Oh my god,what the wait? Amy Ann doesn't wear
(35:06):
her seat belt? That is Thatis what I'm here for, is the
new lore? Okay, So Ineed everyone to make a we'll call it
a constitution saving throw to see howbad you're hurt by this running into this
wall at thirty miles an hour?Oh what's the walls? Hbuh? Not
(35:27):
much said constitution saving through yes isyeah, Crystal Crystal. I thought Crystal
made the dumbest decision of everybody bygetting out of the truck so far away.
But what Crystal sees and she gotout, nuked three goblins and it's
slammed into a building. So consideringyou were in the back surrounded by god
(35:52):
knows what with no seat belt,you've made the best decision you possibly could
have. Okay, so what didyou roll? I got a four on
that con save Okay, So Richard, obviously the seat belt was designed for
the ninety sixth percentile. Uh,you need a booster seat and we'll get
(36:14):
back to that. Amy An,what did you roll? Twenty three?
Two? Three? Okay? Didyou roll? I'm sorry? Did you
roll with disadvantage? Since you're notwearing your seat belt? Was I supposed
to? I'm sorry. I meantto tell you that beforehand. I'm not
just trying to let me try it. Oh well, twenty two all right,
(36:37):
so somehow you just managed to bracejust right? All right? Taylor
Jacobs, what did you roll?Shet? Okay? Nineteen, so you're
good? Uh and drunk night Bentley, what did you h? What did
you roll? Okay? So Bentley, you just pass. Uh. So
(36:57):
everyone passes except for Richard, whichis unfortunate. Everyone. So the truck
took a total of forty four damagethe truck. After this, the truck
will be gone. It would disappearuntil Bentley casts the spell again. So
(37:21):
you are Richard, You're going totake twenty damage from like basically going through
the seat belt and bouncing off ofthe dashboard. Everyone else, I have
a question. Everyone else is goingto take ten damage. Oh, but
in the truck had disappeared as soonas it hit, So you really would
have just said face versus of thehouse. Either way. Either way,
(37:43):
you're all taking some damage on thatone. I had known that he was
such a shitty driver. He's beendrinking all day. What do you expect?
I am a very good driver.I'll have you all right. How
many goblins did we killed? You'vekilled so far? The six? You've
(38:06):
killed six goblin raiders? All right, Richard, it is now your turn.
As you are. You're also allprone since since the truck disappeared,
you're all on the ground prone.Oh wow, yeah, you really are
a sht driver. Bentley all right, Richard? Yeah? What did He's
a little dazed? So how manypeople are left alive? So you see
(38:29):
one horrified looking goblin with a skullhelmet, and you see another like really
big goblin, like like bigger thanBentley. We didn't even ask them what
they were doing? Yeah, Richardalso was thinking that two people went ahead
of him in line were doing okay, okay, So how how far how
(39:00):
far away are the two things likethe skullhead guy and the giant horns?
So they are like ten feet awayfrom you for me, and how far
away from each other? So Iwould say they're about ten feet from each
other. Okay, that works.Did we get a description of the witch
she's not a goblin issue? No, as far as you know, as
far as we know, that wouldbe very unfortuate. No, No,
(39:24):
I'm gonna go ahead and tell youshe's not a goblin. Although now thinking
about it, that would have beenreally funny. Oh it's a goblin,
we gotta kill it. No,that was the That was this. Yeah,
and this is fallout rules, sothere is no TAKESI back seats.
Well in that case, he's like, well, I hope you're looking at
(39:45):
this, and he like points hisfinger at like in between the two goblins.
I like squints his eye over hismonocle focus and he cast shatter.
Oh god, you guys went forthe smoke him if you got him method
(40:05):
of combat I forgot. It's notlike the truck costs a smell, slaughter
or anything. Yeah. Okay,so they need to make a con saving
throw. Okay, constitution saving throwfor each of them seventeen Jesus Christ.
(40:27):
Okay, so one of them gotan eighteen and the other one got it,
and the other one got a two. So the one that got to
two was the big dumb one andhe just kind of so the other one.
You see him hold up his staffand he kind of deflects the magic
away. The other one, theBritish one, just takes a full on
(40:50):
blast from the thunder damage. Sogo ahead and give me damage roll twelve,
all right. So he takes twelvedamage and he's gonna have the club
that he was holding basically shatter intoa million pieces. He's got splinters now
and uh, you see as helooks at you and he goes, you
(41:15):
guys started it. Yeah, okay, So now it is Amy Ann you
are on the ground, is goingto take his movement to stand up.
Okay, so I'm gonna I assumedyou stood up first, but that's fine
too, all right, Amyen,it is now your turn. So can
you set the scene for me again? What who all standing? So Bentley
(41:37):
is past is basically laid out inthe ground, Richard just stood up.
Crystal's way back where you guys were, and Taylor Jacobs is still like dazed
and on the ground. Okay,okay to herself, like we could have
just talked to him. No,Bentley sees goblins and he he had he
(41:59):
had PTSD flashbacks from last time.What are you talking about this? Because
Crystal fucking attacked them first. Ijust want you to know that Crystal was
threatened. She did not. Shewas like passed off, and he was
(42:20):
like, I'm gonna do the oppositeof that, and she was like,
never mind. I think it'd beeven funnier if Crystal did it by accident,
Like she's still not that great withher magic. She just was waving
and accidentally yeaded them into a tree. Uh, the one she learned during
level up. Okay, oh,she did this on purpose. One thing
nice? All right, So Amyen, what are you doing? Yeah?
(42:43):
So I'll pull myself up, mygosh, geez, spit out some leaves
or whatever it was on the ground, and a stand up, dust myself
off a little bit. And howfar away from the front door of the
witch's place? Am I? So? Well, I guess that's also relevant.
You're you're about twenty feet from thefront door. But you just made
(43:05):
a new door, okay, aspart of her house is collapsed now where
you lay into it? Can Ilook in and see and holler? Hello?
Are you okay? Sorry about that? Hello? So there is no
answer? Oh, Okay, amI How far where am I from?
(43:30):
The two standing goblins? So you'reabout ten feet ten feet? Okay?
All right, so as I seeand there's nobody in there, like I'm
going to turn around and kind ofrun over to the nearest goblin and try
to put him in a choke hold. Okay, so they're both about the
same distance. Do you want theone with the skull hat or do you
(43:52):
want the one that looks like abig brute guy. Let's see here,
Let's do the one with the skullhat, because I think I'm intuiting that
he is like the more likely tocommunicate. Okay, so you're trying to
go put him in a headlock?Yes, all right, so go go
(44:14):
make an attack roll okay, allright, that is nineteen okay, So
you come up on him and thatturns into a crit or twenty turns into
a kryt. Yeah, oh okay, well you definitely. So he tries
(44:36):
to slip slip your grip, butyou tighten up just enough and he's like
you just hear him, like hestops, like he's saying all kinds of
mean things you assume in goblin.And when you get your grip just right.
You just hear him go, ohshit, all right? Is this?
So how tall is the goblin?Like three feet? Yeah? Okay,
(45:00):
So I feel like once I gothim like in a good choke hold
like this, I just stand upand I'm holding them like that. All
right, So we'll come back tothat. Yeah, yeah, all right.
So is anyone else? Oh okay, No, So now it's their
turn. So first thing that's goingto happen is the what you would now.
(45:23):
Well, I don't know if thiswould mean anything to your characters,
but the bugbear brute charges right forRichard, and he is going to use
his charge feature and attack Richard twice. Oh no, Richard? Why Richard
(45:43):
does a nineteen hit? Oh?Where's my thing? It does hit?
All right? What about a thirteen? A thirteen does not? Okay,
So first swipe, he swings wildlyat you and you just barely dodge it.
But then the like as you're gettingexcited that you'd dodge the attack,
he just sucker punches you right inthe face. Uh and uh. He's
(46:06):
using the shards of wood that arethat are stuck in his hand from where
you blew up his club. Thatsounds right, so you are going to
take d M is there? Didhe walk by Amy Ann to go to
not close enough to you? Okay? So Richard, you are going to
(46:28):
take nine points of damage right tothe face. Oh fuck. And then
he is going to roar at you. That doesn't do anything. He just
is really mad, all right.Then the goblin with the skull hat,
which you would identify as a goblinshaman, he is going to he's going
(46:52):
to say wait, wait, wait, wait, and he's gonna like he's
going to touch your arm like he'stapping out. Yeah, and must see
does a nineteen hit just barely?Yes? It hits? Oh I got
(47:12):
I have to ask in film,I know as you take let's see.
Oh so it did. So hehad disadvantage with that attack, right because
he's grappled. I'll reroll with disadvantage. Okay. I also didn't do any
(47:37):
damage on him. I didn't rolldamage. Okay, Well, I mean
that's up to you. It dependson what you're trying to do. Does
an eighteen hit it does? Yes? Okay, so you take serious.
(47:58):
You take eighteen points of necrotic damageas he casts inflict wounds on your arm.
Oh and he and he giggles,He's a It is now Taylor Jacob's
turn. So there's how many left? Now? Just the two. There's
there's a big British one that's tryingto murder Richard's face, and then there
(48:22):
is the one with the skull hatthat amy Ann has grappled. Okay,
So Taylor sees the big old oneeating Richard's face song, and she's gonna
go into her rage because nobody fusedwith Richard, and she's gonna take out
(48:45):
her great sword and try and hithim with it. Okay, So go
ahead and roll attack. Yeah,that is a thirteen. Thirteen is not
going to hit. Okay, Well, she's gonna Can she do an extra
attack even if she didn't hit thefirst time? Yeah? Yeah, you
(49:06):
have two attacks with an attack actionat level five, she's gonna try again.
Yay. Okay, so that's adirty twenty all right, that will
hit. Let's see seven plus fiveso twelve. How do you want to
(49:31):
do this? Oh, she alreadyfeels guilty, So just like quick like
stab them through the heart. Probably. So Richard, you just took this,
You just took this hit right tothe face and you look up and
it roars at you, and aboutthe time it's roar ends, you just
see Taylor Jacob's sword pierce right throughits chest and just spray you with blood.
(49:59):
And uh, my mouth was open, all right. So then we
come uh, then we come backup to the top with Crystal. Crystal,
you just watched all this happen froma distance. Got one right or
is it all dead? So soCrystal, what I'm gonna say is,
(50:21):
this is what happened. You.You got hit with like pebbles and a
cloud of dust from Bentley just buryingthe throttle. And as the dust clears,
like you heard all this happen,and as the dust clears, you
just see Bentley laid out. Yousee Richard covered in blood, you see
a goblin impaled on Taylor's sword,and you see amy An has the other
one like in a headlock. Whatdo you do? Wow, I'm really
(50:46):
glad I got out of that car. So there's just one left. There's
one left and a headlock. Yes, imagine if full speed I am,
I will be questioning whether or notwe utilize this mode of transportation. Ever
(51:06):
again, you can walk, Ican, and I just might honestly,
Okay, I'm going to walk up. I don't think I'm going to attack.
I think that person's in a headlock. I feel like they're pretty subdued.
I wonder if I've got anything thatwill like knock them out without killing
them, because that's kind of myor you know what, how about So
(51:28):
whose heart worse, Richard or Richard. Richard's like, I like, he's
just drifting off and He's like,can I Richard's down to like a couple
of hit points? Probably I amin the single digits. Yeah, So
(51:50):
I'm going to cast healing word onRichard, which will be at the second
level. So it's two D fourplus four, so you get ten points
of walk it off Richard, walkit off that Hey, Crystal, is
that all you're gonna do? There'snothing close to me? Do you want
to do you want to get closerto the party? Yes? I do.
(52:13):
Yeah, I do want to geta little closer. Alex is gonna
dragon us. No, I'm nottrying to drag anything in the areas.
I can inside the half destroyed building, Can I see if there's anybody in
the building? So you don't youwouldn't be able to see anything from that
(52:34):
distance, like as you're getting closer. You look and you're like, there's
not really any good windows to peekin or anything. You guys, hear
