Dear diary, well,
0:05
I had my first run-in
0:07
with one of those buried
0:09
blood knock-off Dracula's, and
0:11
let me just say, not
0:13
super impressed. Sure,
0:15
they're beefy enough. Got
0:18
that whole gargoyle's aesthetic going for
0:20
them, but that's about it. To
0:23
think I was worried about
0:25
this Sam's Club. We got
0:27
Dracula at home as jabronis.
0:30
There's just no soul
0:32
there. You know,
0:34
just anger and muscles.
0:37
I wonder, is that
0:39
all I would have amounted to, if
0:41
not for your intervention?
0:45
Ah, I remain in your
0:47
debt, my beloved
0:50
Arya. You
2:11
all are standing in a cavernous chamber in this system of tunnels.
2:29
From which the cult of the buried blood
2:32
operate. You
2:35
have seen a lot of unsettling stuff
2:37
in here so far. The most unsettling
2:39
is the bridge spine
2:41
that Philo has just
2:44
managed to cross. From one
2:46
sort of stone outcropping towards
2:48
another, you were heading
2:50
towards the exit from this chamber, which
2:52
leads deeper into this tunnel system.
2:56
The other two members of your
2:58
party, Lady Godwin and Mutt, were
3:00
halfway across this bridge, holding onto
3:02
a rope tethered to a massive
3:04
hip bone at
3:06
the far end of this bridge. Tethered.
3:09
Tethered. Quote unquote. Tied. Yeah, sure.
3:11
You're the sixth. Pretty
3:13
good tide. Thank you
3:15
for reminding me that. I forgot about that boner of
3:18
a roll. Yeah, don't you worry, buds. Thank you so
3:20
much. However, before you could
3:22
reach the other end, you all
3:24
were interrupted by the arrival of
3:28
several hundred rats. Let's
3:31
get into initiative. Let's put on
3:33
our initiative hat. I
3:36
also just wanted to say for like the one person at
3:38
home that's worried, Mutt left
3:40
Aggie with the basketball woman. With
3:42
the volleyball? With the sports? With
3:44
the sports shirt? Well, because she couldn't do the
3:47
underwater thing. That's a good point. Aggie definitely did
3:49
not come with you on that. That was a
3:51
big ask. Yeah. OK,
3:54
what are those rolls, friends? I
3:56
got me a 13. I
3:59
got me a 13. 10.
4:03
What? Yes, I got me
4:05
the problem of I realized I didn't have my
4:07
character sheet open. I've been fervently trying to get
4:09
it tapped alone. A classic
4:12
conundrum. Classic conundrum. But how
4:14
will you solve this puzzle? He'll wait and
4:16
he'll roll a 13. Okay. And
4:19
first in the order is Mutt. Mutt,
4:23
you are halfway across
4:25
this bridge. This bridge is 120
4:27
feet long and so you are still a good
4:32
distance 60 feet away from
4:34
either the entrance
4:36
side or the exit side. This
4:39
bridge is sprawling. Each vertebra
4:41
is 10 feet in diameter.
4:43
However, past that is a
4:45
steep drop off over
4:48
100 feet down, you would guess, down
4:50
into a sea
4:53
of bones. And that's bad.
4:56
It's not great. It's not great.
4:59
We hate it. Bones are
5:01
cool inside you. Doing
5:03
stuff for you, letting you play, you know,
5:06
play sports and all that stuff.
5:08
But outside of the
5:10
body, they're not anything that awesome.
5:12
Interesting. Okay. Okay. Great. Great. Great.
5:15
Great. Great. Great. Now
5:19
this is an important question for the
5:21
rest of this encounter, Griffin. Okay, cool. The
5:24
swarm of rats. Uh huh. Is
5:27
it being treated as an individual
5:30
mob or a bunch
5:32
of little monsters? It is
5:35
several groups of mobs, several
5:37
swarms of rats. Um,
5:40
yes. Okay, great. Um,
5:42
I am going to cast Zephyr
5:45
Strike on myself. Okay,
5:47
cool. Um, and,
5:49
uh, I'm going to take
5:52
a couple things. Uh, first, uh, it
5:58
gives me advantage on a an attack
6:00
roll on my turn it deals
6:02
an extra 1d8 force damage on a
6:04
hit and whether I hit or miss
6:07
my walking speed increases by 30 feet
6:09
okay cool so I can get to the other side of
6:11
the bridge but so you
6:14
would need to attack first in order to
6:16
correct that okay so I cast it on
6:18
myself okay and I'm going to attack one
6:21
of the groups of rats
6:25
they're heading our way right yes they
6:27
are they are storming across the
6:31
towards towards the bridge yeah they haven't quite made it
6:33
out of the tunnel that they're coming out of yet
6:35
but when they do it is going to be a
6:39
flood of rats okay they're exhibiting
6:42
what one might call aggressive behavior
6:45
make a survival check
6:47
for me because maybe they're just running away survival
6:49
or animal handling better
6:52
at survival at than
6:54
11 you are no longer
6:56
in your chosen terrain right though but you have to
6:58
be the thing that's all done I
7:00
don't think underground bone hell
7:03
is part of forest no
7:06
no no just with hunters intuition when
7:08
I make a perception or
7:11
survival check I can add a
7:13
d4 if it rolled to
7:15
the ability check no that's just part
7:17
of hunters intuition okay cool then okay
7:23
do that oh that's another
7:25
three so 14 we have 14 uh
7:28
these these rats seem to
7:30
be kind
7:32
of coordinated in a way
7:35
that sort of defies their
7:37
their what you know to be kind of
7:39
their their instinct and
7:42
so each individual mischief of rats
7:44
is coordinated together or the groups are
7:46
working together I
7:49
mean not working together but it is almost as if
7:51
they are marching in a line or
7:53
running a scampering in a line in
7:56
sort of a column Okay,
8:00
so they are going to have, I will tell you this,
8:02
they are going to have resistance to
8:04
this physical damage as due
8:07
to their sort of constituent nature. But
8:11
you, their armor class is not great, so
8:13
your odds of hitting are pretty good. Okay,
8:17
I'm so torn. I
8:21
mean, you need to attack in order to do
8:23
this. Yeah, but I could miss intentionally, right? I
8:26
guess so. So
8:29
much rats? Well, I
8:31
mean, I don't know that my as
8:34
like an outdoorsy guy has issues with
8:36
animals on site. I don't
8:38
think he's like what in a tunnel some rats.
8:41
Yeah, die die die. If you want to
8:43
delay your action, that is fine. Just to
8:45
see where they're at. Just to see what
8:47
kind of rats you're dealing with. I
8:51
think I have those convivial rats I've
8:53
heard about. I'm going to intentionally miss.
8:56
Okay. Just striking, goading strike. Yeah,
8:59
so I can get over there with
9:01
Philo and off of the big spine.
9:03
Okay, cool. Then that
9:05
is for sure. Firing wide on purpose. You can
9:07
for sure do that. You fire and
9:10
where are you firing? I'm
9:14
firing wide to
9:16
the left of like the opening of
9:18
the tunnel. Okay, cool. So it just hits
9:21
the wall. Yeah, easy. There's no way you
9:23
could miss missing. So
9:25
you do that as you do.
9:27
So I'm missing you this errant
9:29
shot. You feel the wind at
9:31
your back as there's ever
9:34
strike activates. Okay, and then I hustle
9:36
over with my good friend, Brother Philo.
9:38
Okay, you run towards the end of
9:41
the bridge. You make it to the stone
9:43
outcropping there and
9:45
he's still holding the rope or do you let go when you get
9:47
off? I think now
9:49
that I'm over there. I'm definitely still holding the
9:52
row. Okay. Cool
9:56
and you are able to make it across as you reach the
9:58
other side. You start to end up right next to. Phylo.
10:01
You can see these rats look
10:05
scary, red-eyed, more so than rats
10:07
even usually are, and
10:14
they all appear to be
10:17
asleep in their face, the
10:20
face that they're making, but their bodies
10:22
are fat in the base. Just
10:25
like they like it. Just like they
10:28
like it. A bunch of, a set
10:30
of thick temple tents over here. Lady
10:33
Godwin, you are up next. You are
10:35
still on this bridge, 60 feet from
10:37
the exit or entrance side, holding onto
10:39
this rope. What do you do?
10:42
Okay, so is it, am I 60 feet from the
10:44
exit or the entrance? You're
10:46
in the middle of the bridge. So
10:48
you're 60 feet from the exit. What's
10:53
blocking my path to the exit
10:56
vis-a-vis mischiefs of rats?
10:58
All of them. I mean, the
11:00
rats are coming towards you from
11:02
the exit. So, uh. Like we
11:04
were headed west or whatever,
11:06
and the rats are coming out
11:09
of the west towards you. Yeah. I'm
11:11
going to use Jennifer Meyers to
11:14
try to take a scoop of rats and dump them
11:16
off the bridge just to be like, you don't want
11:18
to fuck around. So what your speed
11:22
is, your speed is 40 feet, which
11:24
is enough to get pretty far down
11:27
in there towards the exit, but
11:29
not all the way. You could spend
11:31
your action to dash, but then you
11:33
would not have a, an attack action.
11:37
I'm going to run 30 feet
11:40
of the bridge. Okay. Use
11:42
up my move action. You can do 40.
11:44
And what? You can do 40. Your Godwin is
11:46
fast. Okay. Will that get me
11:48
across the bridge? No, but I'll get you closer. Yeah,
11:51
that's true. I guess it's a great point, Griff. Uh,
11:53
then I'll take all 40 of those feet and hmm. I'm
12:03
gonna throw my javelin
12:05
next to the wall. I'm
12:07
gonna chuck it into the wall. Next
12:10
to the crossbow bolt? Next to the rats. Okay.
12:14
Just try to like scare them off. Uh, okay.
12:16
Uh, shot across their bow. Yeah,
12:18
like, oh wow, this person, they
12:21
got, I don't know how many javelins I got. They could
12:23
have thrown that javelin at us if they wanted to. Yeah.
12:26
And what I think happens, Griff, is
12:28
I throw it and the
12:30
noise it makes from
12:32
the javelin hitting the rock
12:35
is specifically like poisonous,
12:37
I guess you'd say, to rats. Yeah.
12:39
Like hitting at a frequency that they hate so
12:42
much. Yeah, man, for sure. And
12:44
that sounds like, what? What's that pitch? Athletics?
12:47
No, I mean the note that the rats hate so much.
12:50
Like, what's the sound that rats hate? Um,
12:52
sea shark. Okay, great.
12:54
Because it reminds me of claws and
12:57
cats. They hate sea stuff, so. I
12:59
mean, if you are doing the same thing that
13:01
Mutt just did, which is sort of intentionally missing,
13:03
you know what? Let's do this as an intimidation
13:05
check. If that's what you're trying to do, if
13:08
you're explicitly trying to scare away these rats, let's
13:10
look at that. I am. I'm trying not to
13:12
exacerbate this. Okay, cool. Want
13:14
them to leave us alone. 16
13:21
plus 3. The
13:23
vanguard of this swarm of rats
13:27
splits as the sound
13:29
of the javelin-hitting rock
13:32
reverberates throughout the chamber.
13:35
And it splits basically around where
13:37
you and, or rather where Mutt and
13:39
Philo are standing at the end of
13:41
the bridge, runs on either side of
13:43
them and just goes flying off the
13:45
edge down into the bone pit. That
13:49
gets rid of one of the mischiefs
13:53
of rats. How many mischiefs are there? More
13:56
than you can sort of eyeball
13:59
freely. I will say okay. I have big
14:01
eyeballs Okay
14:06
Cool anything else? No,
14:09
okay. I'm out of I'll go ahead and start
14:11
raging okay in the hopes that maybe it'll make
14:13
me more intimidating Sure,
14:16
cool next in the order is out there skankin Next
14:21
in the order is Philo Philo is gonna
14:23
cast Flaming spear now they're
14:25
they're coming out of the tunnel correct towards.
14:28
Yeah, they are Okay, gonna
14:31
cast flaming spear right
14:33
at the mouth of the tunnel Okay
14:36
flaming spear right at the mouth of the
14:39
tunnel yeah a five foot diameter sphere of
14:41
fire Fuck yeah, this
14:43
is like a conjured thing right that
14:45
will continue to if my
14:47
boulder skate three knowledges right you
14:50
are basically plopping down a
14:52
five foot sphere of fire at the end
14:54
of this tunnel and Any
14:57
rats that try to go by it have
14:59
to make this deck save right okay
15:01
cool Mean
15:03
kind of mean kind of kind of it's
15:06
the kind of effective though. I will say
15:08
are you doing anything else? Are you changing your
15:10
position at all? No,
15:13
I think no I have
15:15
I Can direct it
15:17
where I want it, so I don't
15:19
see any need to move as a
15:21
bonus action yes I Tell
15:25
you what How
15:28
close is lady Godwin to the end of
15:30
the spine lady Godwin is about
15:32
20 feet Far
15:34
away from you still on the spine is
15:37
Godwin using the rope to help in any way
15:39
or just I Mean
15:41
the Godwin is holding on to the rope I believe is
15:44
all you know the other two members of your party were
15:46
which is just kind of like as a backup in Case
15:48
something happens to the bridge Okay,
15:52
I'm going to as a bonus
15:54
action after I cast this fear. I'm going to
15:57
Untie the rope from the hip bone and tie it back
15:59
I mean, that's a lot to
16:03
do in a six second long bonus action. I
16:05
think you would have time to do one of
16:07
those things, but I also can
16:10
understand if you would not want to untie this rope without a sort
16:12
of backup plan for that. Now, I
16:14
won't do it then. I'm just going to
16:16
cast the sphere. Okay, cool. Next in the order are
16:18
the... Wait a minute. Wait
16:20
a minute. It does damage. Which
16:24
are going to move through the flaming sphere, yes. They
16:27
are all going to charge onward down the tunnel. Five
16:31
groups of these rats are going to
16:33
have to make desk saves. Which I'm
16:35
going to do now. What is the
16:37
number they're trying to beat? They have to beat
16:39
14. That's one
16:43
fail, two fails. Next time
16:45
I will have no fail. Three fails. Okay, I'm going to
16:47
do the same thing. I'm going to
16:49
do the same thing. Two fails. Next
16:53
time I will have no fail. Three
16:55
fails. Four fails. Five
17:00
fails. Okay. Yeah, man,
17:02
they all fucking fail. That's classic
17:05
catchphrase. Yeah, nobody would get it.
17:08
What was that, Clint? That's new. That's new. I'm
17:10
trying it out. Hey, we
17:12
love it over here. We'll bounce
17:14
it off the focus group. Two,
17:17
three, six. That would be six damage.
17:20
Okay. Okay. And
17:22
I'm going to take a bonus action. It's
17:24
not your turn. No, no, no.
17:26
It's a bonus action. On your
17:29
turn, as a bonus action, you can move it. The
17:32
only actions you can take not on your turn
17:34
are reactions. Gotcha. Okay. Okay,
17:38
they are singed and
17:40
smoking, but they are still
17:42
moving. After
17:45
they took damage, did they change
17:47
in any way? No,
17:49
they did not. I mean,
17:51
they got singed and smoking. Okay, but they didn't
17:53
like snap out of it or something. They look
17:55
like a Ratatouille had a kitchen accident. Okay.
17:59
Like they peed in. Did the kitchen- did it
18:01
scare any of them? I mean, I gave you a
18:03
pretty great description of it. I know, I know. Like,
18:05
with a rat too, he did a kitchen accident, and
18:07
I don't know what else you want from me. Like,
18:10
I only have so much description in my
18:12
body per episode. Description juice, yeah. And I
18:14
don't want to use any more of it
18:17
on these fucking dirty rats. Absolutely. Yeah, Sidney
18:19
was telling me about it. Okay,
18:24
so, this swarm, the
18:26
giant swarm of rats, all of the rats, coming
18:28
at you like a tide, some of
18:30
them split off and jump right off the edge. However,
18:33
they are all going to crash
18:35
into you. I need all three of you
18:38
to make dexterity saving throws, please. Okay.
18:41
That's pretty good. At 25? Oh,
18:44
yeah. Okay,
18:50
and Philo, what was that for you? Oh,
18:52
7. Okay.
18:56
Rat and Godwin, you all
18:58
managed to keep your
19:00
footing. A lot of the
19:02
rats that were sort of diving towards
19:04
you, crashing into you, also spill off
19:08
the edge and go tumbling down into
19:10
the bones
19:12
below. Going to
19:15
get rid of two more groups. Philo,
19:18
however, you are much smaller, you are
19:20
much, much lighter. You
19:23
are easily picked up by
19:27
the swarm of rats, who
19:30
similarly go diving
19:32
over the edge of
19:35
the bone pit. Make
19:37
another dexterity saving throw here to see
19:39
if you are able to catch
19:43
the side in some way stop yourself from
19:45
going over. I'm going
19:47
to need at least a ten or above
19:49
for any kind of success here. Well,
19:53
how about a 12? Wow.
19:56
Yeah, 12 is not
19:58
amazing, but it is. enough that you are able
20:01
to get a few of your puppet fingers wedged
20:04
on the top of the cliff
20:07
before fully falling into the darkness like
20:09
the many, many rats that have just
20:11
smashed into you. Next
20:15
in the order, a crossbow
20:20
bolt is going to come flying from
20:22
the bridge. You
20:26
all turn to see two
20:28
guards are standing now in the
20:30
middle of the bridge, and
20:33
you see a third figure with them, and
20:35
this man has been stripped down
20:37
and looted. It is the
20:39
guard that you incapacitated earlier. Come back
20:41
to me. Three guards
20:44
on the bridge. See, this is my problem.
20:46
Should I kill the rats? Should I kill
20:48
the guard? Ugh. The
20:51
first crossbow bolt is going
20:53
to come flying at you,
20:55
Lady Godwin, biggest target, 19
20:58
versus AC. Oh yeah. It
21:03
stabs into your shoulder for
21:07
four points of piercing damage, which would be
21:09
halved since you are raging, so two points
21:11
of piercing damage. The
21:13
other bolt is going to
21:17
go towards Mutt.
21:22
Mutt a 20.
21:26
Not nat. Dirty 20. Just hits.
21:28
This one just scratches across your
21:36
side. I mean, I got 15 AC, so
21:38
it definitely hits. I was being
21:40
sarcastic. Well, it does it for four points
21:44
of damage. The third
21:46
guard does not have a weapon, so he is just going
21:48
to dash. Wait a minute. Justin.
21:51
Yes? Toby's sword will do extra damage
21:53
against that one. Oh no!
21:58
Okay, well next in the order is... But...uh...but
22:00
the situation's still a
22:03
lot of rats. Maybe
22:06
a third of the rats have now mostly
22:08
jumped into their depths. They
22:11
have all sort of been burned, all the ones
22:13
that have come through the tunnel, and beyond the
22:15
flaming sphere you can see yet a few rats
22:18
still. The crowd is definitely thinning out, though. Are
22:20
they squeaking and stuff? No, they
22:22
are completely silent. Oh, that'd be so cool. No,
22:24
it would be cool, but is it maybe even
22:26
cooler that they're completely silent?
22:29
Okay, I see. Um, well, not
22:31
gonna make the same mistake again now that
22:33
the guards are trying to kill us, so
22:35
I'm gonna take a shot at one
22:38
of them, their guards. Okay, closer
22:40
to you is the guard you
22:42
know is Toby, and the
22:44
ones behind him are, you know, within range
22:46
weapon distance. They just took a shot at
22:48
you, but they are a bit further back.
22:52
Um, I'm gonna take a shot
22:54
at one of the ones who took a shot at us. Okay,
22:56
cool. And
22:59
I'm gonna do a
23:01
snaring strike on him.
23:03
Uh, okay. Uh,
23:06
so let's shoot at him
23:09
first. Action.
23:11
Crapo. Does
23:14
a 17 hit. 17
23:17
hits, yes. Excellent.
23:20
That's great to hear. So
23:22
he's gonna take six
23:26
points of damage. Okay.
23:30
As well as, yes, he's
23:32
ensnared. So, a
23:34
rising mass of thorny vines appears
23:37
at the point of impact, and the target
23:39
must succeed on a strength saving throw, or
23:41
be restrained by the magical vines until the
23:43
spell ends. Does
23:46
a 12 save? It does not.
23:49
Okay. It means we have 15. He's
23:51
gonna take an extra 1d6, oh, at the
23:53
start of each turn, takes an extra 1d6
23:56
piercing damage. Okay. Let's
24:00
see, he'll be here. Okay, and then I'm gonna
24:02
use my second attack on The
24:06
other guard. Okay. No,
24:08
it's staring a strike on this one. Just a regular
24:12
Just a regular old attack. So
24:14
19 hit. Yes, it does and
24:18
He's gonna take 11
24:21
points of damage. Oh that one
24:23
goes just right on top
24:25
of the head Off the bridge
24:27
dead dead. That's nice That
24:30
is an instant KO on
24:32
that gentleman that season wrap
24:35
that is a season wrap on that one Toby
24:37
is Enraged
24:40
not mechanically. That's
24:42
just emotionally he is emotionally enraged next in
24:44
the order is Lady Godwin still
24:47
some rats on the The
24:50
precipice here with you some in the tunnel beyond the flaming
24:52
sphere You have one guard halfway down
24:54
the bridge that just shot at you and then
24:56
a dead guard currently falling down
24:58
to join the bones Below and one day become
25:01
bones You also have
25:03
Toby charging at you. He's about 10
25:05
feet away I'm
25:07
I look at Toby I'm
25:13
Terribly sorry about this, but
25:15
at the same time extremely
25:17
excited and then
25:19
I pull out My
25:23
blade the Toby Slayer And
25:25
I think in the here's what I imagine
25:27
Griffin. Yeah in the presence of a Toby
25:30
everyone hears music and play
25:33
flames emerge from the Toby Slayer
25:36
and Shafts of light
25:38
come in from walls Yeah
25:47
And then I swing the
25:49
Toby Slayer down on Toby Okay,
25:53
make a make an attack roll
25:55
plus one versus topies no
25:57
no I thought you said it had the flaming
26:00
poisoning sir oh yeah you're right
26:02
yeah but I don't that only
26:04
affects damage it's not it's not a
26:06
bonus to my hit dies not but that's true that's true
26:09
we still need to hit with the Toby Slayer it doesn't
26:11
it's not automatic you know what I mean like you know
26:13
but if it bites it bites 14 the 14 hit 14
26:15
just hits Toby
26:19
it's nothing this flames
26:22
leap into and out
26:24
of his skull poison
26:27
poison boils around I
26:29
don't want to the
26:31
boils his lung he
26:37
just collides he just he
26:39
just loses his his
26:41
form and the damage is
26:44
but somewhere another Toby becomes
26:46
more powerful so the damage
26:48
is seven plus 20 yeah
26:52
and then three
26:54
detail fire damage it's
26:57
unnecessary but please go I mean please roll
26:59
these I don't know what we used to
27:01
do uh
27:04
he just the picture you have painted is
27:06
true is true to life he just falls
27:08
apart and then explodes and then is on
27:10
fire for a little bit and then
27:13
a breeze comes and blows his ashes
27:15
away and a bird eats the ashes
27:17
and dies and
27:20
you could swear through
27:23
the flames just a moment
27:27
you see an apparition a figure
27:32
it's an old man with
27:35
Cain he's wearing a
27:37
little grandpa hat thank
27:42
you you have
27:47
freed me as
27:49
a ghost of Toby's grandpa fuck I
27:52
knew you're gonna do this fly around
27:54
to heaven I had big plans I
27:59
was gonna wait till we go to the
28:01
final boss of the whole stupid show be
28:03
like I'm gonna call you Toby from now
28:05
on it just fucking it was so cool
28:07
the sword still kills Toby's it's just this
28:09
the quest for this particular sword was to
28:11
kill this guy's shithead
28:13
grandson Toby so
28:17
like you've got a Toby new we didn't
28:20
cover if Toby had a moment of recognition
28:22
what he when he saw it singing through
28:24
the air slicing his fate as
28:26
it cuts the air no
28:29
I mean he did he's not gonna
28:32
give you anything like that cuz he
28:34
sucks so bad like yeah fucking yeah
28:36

28:38
pay attention to anything and and
28:41
everyone's pretty glad he's gone you don't
28:44
see Toby's you did whatever goes
28:46
whatever resided inside of this the
28:48
physical object of Toby's body that made
28:51
him who he was has also been
28:53
destroyed by this blade I so complete
28:55
has been his destruct I I think
28:57
I speak for the listeners here and
28:59
I know I'm speaking for myself I'm
29:01
so glad we made Taz kill again
29:03
yeah yeah for sure this used to
29:06
be a show that people died on
29:08
a lot and for a while I
29:10
think we lost that a little bit
29:12
but I'm just so happy that Taz
29:14
is killing people yeah sometimes

32:14
when you listen to podcasts, it really
32:16
just comes down to whether or not
32:18
you like the sound of everyone's voices.
32:20
My voice is one of the sounds
32:22
you'll hear on the podcast, Dr. Game
32:24
Show. And this is the voice of
32:26
co-host and fearless leader, Joe Firestone. This
32:29
is a podcast where we play games
32:31
submitted by listeners and we play them
32:33
with colors over Zoom we've never spoken
32:35
to in our lives. So that is
32:38
basically the concept of the show. Pretty
32:40
chill. So take it or leave
32:42
it, Bucko. And here's what some of
32:44
the listeners have to say. It's funny,
32:46
wholesome, and it never fails to make
32:48
me smile. I just started listening and
32:50
I'm already binging it. I haven't laughed
32:52
this hard in ages. I wish I
32:55
discovered it sooner. You can find Dr.
32:57

you cry. They can even make you sing.

33:30
Bye. Philo,
33:39
you are up next. You
33:42
are hanging off the edge of the cliff
33:44
with your little wooden fingers. Raps
33:46
continue to pour over you. What
33:49
do you do? God, that is
33:51
so gross. Yeah, it's a
33:54
nasty... It is a really nasty scene down
33:56
here. Okay, I'm going
33:58
to drink my flying elixir. elixir. Okay.
34:03
Pops open the vial, drinks
34:06
the flying elixir. Yeah,
34:08
why not? No
34:11
time like the president, they
34:14
say. And gently fly
34:16
up emerging triumphant through
34:19
the stream of rats. That's
34:22
like bursting out. Yeah,
34:24
you you as you to
34:26
reach this potion, you have to
34:29
let go of the wall. All right. I
34:32
think that the exciting version of this is.
34:34
Oh, I got
34:36
it. I think it's a well, no, no, no, hold on.
34:38
I think I want a slight of hand check, because
34:40
you're trying to do something very badass
34:42
that I want to happen very, very much. But
34:45
I feel like it will be a lot thicker
34:47
if it if it is if
34:49
it is mechanical. Okay, I think it's
34:51
light of hand check to retrieve this
34:53
potion and consume it while falling. I
34:55
think it is pretty sick. Well,
34:58
then can I push away from the
35:00
Yes, absolutely. So like, I'll give
35:03
you a manage. I will give you advantage
35:05
on the side of hand check you buy
35:07
yourself some time by sort of like throwing
35:09
yourself away from the not quite here edge
35:11
of this swan like yes, bringing back. Okay,
35:13
here we go. Here's the first one. Well,
35:16
I'm going to need that advantage. That's a
35:19
six. We're gonna need better than that. Yeah,
35:21
well, here we go. Five
35:24
is not better. Oh, worse.
35:26
Okay. Well, then okay. You
35:30
are you fall fully
35:33
you are you try to reach
35:36
into your pouch to retrieve
35:38
this to retrieve the potion that
35:41
will save your save your life
35:43
and your wooden form here. But
35:46
it is hard to wrestle with
35:49
a clap of an alchemist
35:52
toolkit. While
35:54
it is rattling around in the breeze of
35:56
freefall. You managed to
35:58
retrieve this potion and
36:01
dump it into your puppet potion hole.
36:03
I have it considered. I
36:06
have to imagine at this point you've just bored a
36:08
little hole into the front of
36:11
your face. Now,
36:13
Kassev. Yeah, I guess that's true.
36:16
Okay, you chug down
36:18
this potion. You
36:20
do it pretty far into your
36:22
freefall. I think the result of
36:24
this is your momentum
36:26
is going to slow as
36:30
you crash down into the bones.
36:34
This effect will continue to work. You'll be able
36:36
to fly, but first you are going to hit
36:38
these bones. But
36:40
you will have resistance from
36:42
this 2d10 damage because of the slowed
36:45
momentum. So
36:51
a constitution check? No constitution
36:54
check required, my friend. You
36:56
sure? Yes. Okay.
36:59
A total of 13 damage
37:02
halved, so you take 7 points
37:04
of bludgeoning damage as
37:06
you crash down into the bones. Drinking
37:11
a potion? Yes,
37:14
okay, so drinking a potion is an action. That's
37:18
fine. But however, all
37:21
that you have used at this point is your action. I'm not
37:23
going to count falling down a pit as your
37:25
movement because it was somewhat
37:27
against your will. So
37:30
fair enough to say that with
37:33
the flying elixir, I take the damage, but
37:35
I fly up? Well,
37:37
I mean, you are now standing on the
37:40
bone pile below and you feel weightless. So
37:42
you feel like you can now fly back
37:44
up. You have to tell me where
37:46
you want to fly, what you want to do. It's not sort of an
37:48
automatic. I just want to fly straight up. I
37:51
just want to fly straight up, straight
37:53
up. Okay.
37:58
You what's it look like? How
38:00
do you what does flight look like for you is it
38:02
is it clean Peter Pan flight or is it Morris fizzy
38:04
lifting drink? Or
38:07
if you're like, are you flapping your arms? Yeah,
38:09
you're a bird No,
38:11
I think he would it's Peter Pan
38:13
stuff Peter Pan ten
38:16
feet straight up almost
38:18
like almost
38:20
like a Keanu
38:23
Reeves matrix In
38:26
the dojo move that out cool
38:29
arms akimbo One leg bent
38:31
straight up. Yeah Okay,
38:33
you do so make a perception check
38:36
for me Not
38:43
giving the rolls today, that's
38:45
an eight Okay
38:49
Your your flight speed with this potion is
38:51
just remove speed right? It's just you can
38:53
fly with it Yes, and
38:56
then feet and ten feet.
38:58
Okay, so 40 feet you fly 40 feet
39:00
straight up about halfway back up to from
39:02
from where you fell You
39:05
notice only sort of
39:07
at the last second as you are approaching
39:10
the the end of your move here That
39:13
it's a little bit harder than
39:15
you expected it to be It feels like it is
39:17
getting harder and harder as you go up you worry
39:19
for a moment that maybe there's something wrong with the
39:21
potion But as you
39:23
look down you realize that your
39:26
ankle is Being
39:28
held by a skeletal
39:31
hand connected to
39:34
the skeletal arm Just
39:37
a skeleton going and then what's the
39:39
arm bone connect to the? clap
39:42
clap clap you the clavibone the
39:44
clavulous a a skeleton
39:48
wearing a crown is Holding
39:51
on to your ankle as you fly
39:53
up and this skeleton
39:55
is similarly being held up by What
39:58
Looks like a almost like a cheer? The Leaders
40:00
pyramid of skeletons. Ah the
40:03
the bone High alert. Something
40:05
in it is trying to
40:07
keep you from sleeping here.
40:10
Imo. Next. In
40:13
the order I already have a bonus action.
40:15
All you can motor say I am goes.
40:18
I move my sphere into
40:21
another mischief of rats. Ah
40:23
oh hey, are you. And.
40:26
This is a trick question moving
40:28
it. Down. The Tunnel. Toward.
40:30
The Rats deeper in the tunnel?
40:33
Are you moving it out onto
40:35
the of cliffside outcropping? Were on
40:37
a couple miss. Sets of rats
40:39
are standing but also your friends.
40:44
To rouse I think some farther up the
40:46
tunnel how that will you hesitated a long
40:48
time there before the providing everyone this at
40:51
me and dress them on fire. Her I
40:53
was trying to visualize because he said they
40:55
were and like out a rough line of
40:57
Miss Miss Fishes. ah ok you are going
40:59
to be able to rammed his sphere into
41:02
a creature. one of these misuse of wrath
41:04
counts as creature it will have to make
41:06
them it saving throw against the seers damage
41:08
and the sphere stops moving. This turn see
41:10
can do this. It's only gonna nail one
41:13
of these wrap swarms. Right air.
41:15
You get the impression that they're
41:17
not that many remaining. Ah so
41:19
Decks Saint Fourteen. Taxi
41:21
fourteen we got a crit
41:24
sale so nope. And
41:26
they take to the six fired him into the
41:28
role that for me. Five.
41:33
In A to. Have examined Seven.
41:35
Okay, Ah Godwin and my, you
41:37
see the ball, our role deeper
41:39
into the tunnel, and ah, you
41:41
see the rats that are continuing
41:44
to swarm out. They look actually
41:46
quite a bit worse off than
41:48
the the rats that were burned
41:50
or recently the scuttlebutt more. More.
41:53
That more mustard on?
41:55
ah. They are however
41:57
up next so. ah
42:01
But I think looking at you, the two
42:04
of these swarms of rats are going to try
42:06
the same maneuver, try to knock you off into
42:08
the bone pile below. I need you
42:10
to make a dexterity saving throw for me. Okay.
42:16
Let me do
42:18
that. Okay, my dex save
42:20
throw, 22. Yeah,
42:22
wow, okay. I mean, I have a plus seven to
42:24
dex save throw. 22
42:27
is fucking great. You just hop
42:29
step through these rats like you're
42:31
playing fucking DDR around them.
42:34
They go diving off the edge
42:37
of the platform. You
42:41
see a flaming
42:43
swarm of rats. One
42:46
more. Actually, let me roll that dex save.
42:49
The last swarm of rats come pouring out of the tunnel. That
42:53
is a four. No, so 2d6 fire
42:55
damage please, Clint. And these rats here?
42:58
Eight, wow. Okay, yeah.
43:02
The flow of rats has stopped as the last
43:04
group of rats come swarming
43:06
out. They like all the other
43:08
rats that have come through this flaming ball look
43:11
pretty bad off. Two of
43:13
these swarms of rats are going to just attack
43:15
you, Lady Goblin. Oh man.
43:20
That is a 15 versus AC.
43:24
Oh yeah, that hits. Okay, you
43:26
are going to take seven points.
43:28
Piercing damage halved down to four.
43:33
And the second group of rats?
43:37
No, that is a four versus AC. It's not
43:39
going to hit. Their teeth can't
43:41
penetrate the thick flesh
43:45
of the body you are
43:47
riding on, Krangstyle. And
43:50
that is it for the rats. I
43:53
think the only guard left is entangled. He
43:55
is going to try and escape that. Yeah,
43:57
just knew that. Well first he takes one
43:59
decent. Oh, does he? Okay,
44:01
roll one. Roll one, two, six. Three.
44:09
Okay, you see him
44:11
fight against the vines, and then you see the
44:13
vines quickly and
44:15
violently hug him in towards
44:18
the spinal bridge, and
44:20
you see him crumple unnaturally and
44:23
die. Okay.
44:27
Okay, so that's it for him. Um,
44:30
much. You are up. Okay,
44:33
so currently, have all the
44:35
rats, there's like only one or two- There's only
44:37
two swarms of rats left, and the two swarms
44:39
are both engaging Lady Godwin in
44:41
combat. Okay, so I can see
44:44
this, um, pet squad
44:46
of skeletons grabbing Phyla's ankle,
44:48
right? Yes, exactly. And
44:50
there's a crown on one of them? The one
44:52
on the top, the one that is actually holding on to him. Is
44:54
it a nice crown? Mmm, it
44:58
was at some point. Okay, then I don't
45:00
want it. I'm gonna take aim for
45:04
the elbow joint
45:06
on the arm holding. Okay,
45:10
I was gonna go for risk, but then I feel like
45:12
that's a bigger risk of hitting Phyla. So,
45:16
okay. Yeah, I'm
45:18
struggling, because if this is just an attack
45:20
roll, that is a very- you can't just
45:22
shoot someone's arm off because- I mean, it
45:24
would have to be like a dexterity check
45:26
or an athletics check or something like that,
45:29
right? Yeah, it's gotta be an all-or-nothing situation
45:31
and not an attack roll
45:33
where even if you hit, you get some
45:35
damage, like it's either- Right, right, right. This works
45:37
or you miss. This is a fucking hard
45:39
shot, though. Yeah, yeah. This is a
45:41
very, very hard shot. You are
45:43
60 feet above this
45:46
situation, and so like, I'm not even sure what
45:48
kind of a beat you would be able to
45:50
get on this joint. So
45:53
if you want to make just a straight
45:56
dexterity, check on this. I would need a
45:58
20. DC 20. Ooooh,
46:02
tempting! Okay,
46:11
now, there's
46:14
another wilder thing I'm gonna
46:16
do. Cause I don't think I can make that.
46:19
I'm gonna untie the
46:21
rope from where it was tied.
46:23
Okay. And
46:26
tie it around myself.
46:30
And jump off to swing down and try to
46:32
grab my friend. Um...
46:36
Just so we know, I'm doing it
46:38
so it's like over that joint, right?
46:40
So it's not just Godwin to me,
46:42
it's Godwin to joint to me. Godwin
46:45
is... So Godwin's just holding the rope.
46:48
Yeah. Hold on tight! Why
46:51
would you not just jump off with it still tied to
46:53
the hip bone? Okay, yeah, then
46:55
I'll do that, Griffin. Okay, I'm trying to fix this. Well,
46:57
it's just Godwin's not... The
47:01
physics of Godwin would have to spend her
47:03
turn holding this rope. I'm not... I don't
47:05
have a PhD in physics, Griffin. Okay. Yeah,
47:08
Griffin. Not like
47:10
you, Griffin. We hear about it all the
47:12
time. MIT Vis, MIT that. We fucking get
47:14
it. We get it, Griffin. If
47:17
you want to play from the rest of the
47:19
dragons with my family and have a good fucking
47:21
time, every time I mention
47:23
Bill Nye, Griffin says, Oh, that bitch.
47:25
That guy's done. It's so
47:27
weird. I get really, really messy
47:29
about Bill. It is science.
47:32
The science drama... Science community drama
47:34
is messy. Yeah, that's why they
47:36
wear lab coats. Okay. Let's
47:38
do it. I fucked Mr. Wizard! Thank
47:41
you for saying that. Thank you! Thank you!
47:43
Thank you! I fucked Mr. Wizard!
47:46
Thank you. Okay,
47:48
so you just jump off... No, I tie
47:50
you on. To yourself? Yeah,
47:52
I tie it on myself. I'm jumping
47:54
down, swan diving. Give me a surviving check.
47:57
Okay. So, see how
47:59
this... Can I tie it? Uh-huh. That's
48:02
a nat 20 baby. You
48:05
tied a shit out of that. You
48:08
tied a shit, what kind of knot is it?
48:10
Travis, you did a bad job. Knot. Ah. Ah.
48:15
I do. Can I say,
48:17
it's, here's the thing. It's
48:19
a cubed knot. Like people
48:22
have done square knots before. No
48:24
one's done a three dimensional cubed
48:27
knot. I mean,
48:29
it's only been prophesied to
48:31
this. Like there have been legends once
48:34
Merlin was able to do it, but then
48:36
he immediately died from this thing. The
48:39
knot is so good,
48:42
Mutt, that the other shitty
48:44
knot that Philo made, you
48:47
like shoot that knot a dirty look and
48:49
it gets its shit together. Yeah, there we
48:51
go. That knot becomes better being in the
48:53
presence of your incredible tesseract of
48:55
a knot that you've made. I love that. Okay,
48:58
and you just go swan diving off the
49:00
end. Are you jumping towards? My
49:04
intention is to create like an arc, you
49:06
know, so that I'm swinging through to grab
49:08
him. Oh, you're swinging like on the other
49:10
end of the bridge to like still do
49:12
that sort of fulcrum swinging. This knot is
49:14
so good that you tie just enough slack
49:16
off that you like work the math of
49:19
this maneuver out perfectly. Cool.
49:22
Mutt has been doing like
49:24
rope swings into rivers since
49:26
he was a kid. Yes, he's got
49:28
experience with those. Great, cool.
49:31
You swan dive gracefully
49:34
over the last, you know,
49:37
few dozen remaining rats over
49:39
the edge and fall
49:42
just beautifully towards the bone
49:44
pile. You
49:47
reach the edge of the rope's
49:49
length and it snaps and
49:52
you begin to swing. Cutting me in half. It
49:54
steps and your body is instantly
49:57
bisected, I'm
50:00
bisexual! That's
50:02
not what that means! Bisexual!
50:06
Bisexual is better. And
50:08
you swing towards Philo,
50:10
who is being grappled by these
50:14
by this pyramid of skeletons.
50:18
I'm gonna, I mean I
50:20
think just let's complete
50:22
the sort of like arc here,
50:24
no pun intended. What are you
50:27
trying to do as you reach them?
50:29
Traveling quite fast, I will say. Yeah,
50:31
no basically I'm hoping that I am
50:33
coming at him like a spider monkey.
50:35
Right? And I'm just whoo, wrapping and
50:38
going. You're just trying to grab grab
50:40
him. Yeah, with the force to like
50:42
break the grasp. Okay.
50:46
So I want a, this
50:49
is gonna be an attack roll
50:51
on Philo to grapple him. Okay.
50:54
This is to grab him. Then
50:56
I will, then if this succeeds we will make
50:58
a strength contest to see if you can pull
51:00
out of this skeleton's grasp. You
51:02
will have advantage on that track just with the
51:05
sheer momentum of your your
51:07
pendulous force right now. That
51:09
is a 23 to give. Yep,
51:11
okay. You grab him easily and
51:14
firmly. You
51:17
feel like a weird weightlessness from him.
51:19
Come with me! As he is
51:22
flying, you actually feel a bit of buoyance
51:24
that is like adjusting the arc of your
51:26
swing here. And
51:28
I plan for that. We are going to make a
51:32
straight up strength roll to see if
51:34
you can pull out of the skeleton's
51:36
grasp. You have advantage. Ooh. Okay.
51:40
I got an 18. Oh
51:42
boy, I have plus zero. Is this a saving throw or
51:44
check? Just a strength check. Oh boy.
51:48
Okay. A
51:51
six and you got him
51:53
that. Yeah. And
51:56
an 18. Alright.
52:00
You know, I, yeah, all right. So
52:02
what happens is you swing with a tie
52:04
here. What
52:08
happens is that you feel yourself
52:11
grab Philo and start swinging upward
52:13
a little bit faster than you
52:16
swung downwards, thanks to the, uh,
52:18
the flying puppet that you are
52:20
now holding onto. However,
52:22
as you look down, you realize
52:24
that the crowned skeleton is still
52:27
hanging onto you, uh, you know,
52:29
rather onto puppet
52:31
Philo, and two
52:33
of the arms of the skeleton that were holding
52:35
him up have come off with him holding him
52:37
up at his feet. Okay, progress. So
52:40
progress, yes, you are now swinging
52:42
back upwards. We will
52:44
call your turn there and move on
52:46
to Lady Godwin. Godwin, you are still
52:48
being challenged by two more swarms of
52:50
rats as this, frankly, just,
52:54
uh, undead Cirque du Soleil act is
52:56
happening. Uh, you know, a
52:58
good 60 feet below you. Can
53:00
I assist? Do they need to be retrieved? Does
53:02
it look like? Is it something I can assist
53:05
with with a sharp tug? Uh, yeah,
53:07
I mean, you could for sure grab the rope
53:10
as they are swinging up. And if you try
53:12
to, you know, hand over hand, like
53:14
pull it in pretty fast. I'm going to try.
53:16
I'm going to try to reel them in. Okay.
53:20
Because I, I don't know. I was
53:22
going to make a run for it. I'll be honest, but
53:24
I'll go ahead. I think that's
53:27
Justin talking, frankly. Yeah. Well,
53:29
I just hate the dang rats. I know you do,
53:31
bud. We had to fiddly fart around with these guys.
53:34
Uh, all right. I'm going to try to, uh, bring
53:37
them in, try to retrieve them. Okay.
53:40
This is got to be pretty good at
53:42
reeling things in. Yeah. A lot of
53:44
fishing. This is
53:46
going to be a strength
53:49
check. Uh, it is,
53:51
I mean, you're going to have to move this rope
53:53
pretty fast to like pull them in at
53:56
an appropriate angle to their, to their
53:58
swing. Yeah,
54:01
alright man, for sure. You
54:06
manage to grab
54:08
the rope as rats
54:10
continue to bite at
54:13
your ankles. You
54:17
pull hand over hand reeling
54:19
in yard after yard
54:21
of rope until
54:24
finally from over the surface
54:26
of the cliff's edge, you
54:28
see this wild
54:31
scene approaching you. You
54:33
see Philo holding
54:36
onto the rope, flying,
54:38
holding onto, being
54:40
held onto rather by mutt, and
54:43
you see a crowned skeleton with
54:45
a couple other skeleton arms holding
54:47
onto him, holding onto puppet Philo.
54:49
You see them all as you
54:51
yank them up with a 22,
54:54
you pull them down just as
54:56
the rats peel off of you
54:59
and bring them crashing down onto
55:02
the heads of the remaining swarm of
55:04
rats, killing them. The
55:07
rats! The rats! Wait, the rats,
55:09
alright, Garvin? Killing the
55:11
rats? Killing everyone, unfortunately. I look at the skeleton
55:13
with the crown and I say, welcome to Bridge!
55:22
And I punch it in the face with my bonus action.
55:27
Okay, make an attack roll. Oh
55:33
wait, I wrote my great axe, right? I shouldn't do
55:35
that. No. She's not an arm
55:37
strike. It just so happens it was a crit fail. It's funny
55:39
how that happens. Why? D&D Beyond
55:42
was like, that's not what you're supposed to
55:44
roll. That's not what you're supposed to roll. Uh, 13. Does
55:47
that hit? Uh, yeah, 13
55:49
hits. You punch this, uh, this
55:52
prone skeleton. For 4 damage. Okay.
55:55
You punch it and the head rolls
55:57
off of the skeletal body. crown
56:00
stays on, you see that it is like fused with
56:02
the bone. And it rolls. Oh
56:04
no, I wanted a free crown. It
56:06
rolls towards the edge, it stops just shy of the
56:08
edge. It rocks precariously towards
56:11
it before tilting backwards and
56:13
coming to a halt, laying on its side,
56:15
looking back at you with a frozen
56:19
look. I mean of course it's frozen, it's
56:21
a skeleton of surprise on
56:23
its face. And then
56:25
you hear a voice from
56:28
inside of this hollow
56:30
skull, and it says,
56:33
How dare you, peasant! Peasant
56:37
you have struck me! What
56:39
a terrible accident you have made!
56:42
What is your problem, fellow? Peasant?
56:46
Peasant? What's your name? The peasant who has struck me?
56:49
Oh, sure. It's a rudeness. She's
56:51
actually a lady? She's a lady? Lady
56:53
Gawan? My name is Lady Gawan. Lady,
56:55
I apologize, I did not know I
56:58
was in the presence of fellow royalty.
57:00
What is the year, madam? The
57:03
year? What is the year? Well,
57:05
as you know, it's 1842. Ah!
57:10
As we
57:12
all know, it's that
57:14
time, I said. I've
57:17
been boned for so long! And
57:20
what of Britannia? Oh, it's fallen. No,
57:25
it's just a Dracula country. Now
57:27
it's very sad. Who
57:30
over is Tanya? There's only Lumino. You
57:33
must. Ugh. You
57:37
see, the skull looks just despondent. It
57:39
rolls to be face down in the
57:42
dirt. Hey, hey, ma'am. Hey.
57:46
Hey, bud. Do you want to come with us? I
57:50
can't leave my boys. Were
57:54
you sorry for your boys? Ha!
57:57
My boys! Ha ha! My
57:59
boys! You mean my... my...
58:03
my crew, my squad? Oh,
58:05
okay. My fam. My fam? Oh.
58:09
They are the mightiest knights in
58:11
all the realms, in all the
58:13
known realms of this world. They
58:16
are the knights of the round table for you
58:18
see I am King Arthur Pindragon. Oh
58:21
my... Wait, are you... Foreign and
58:23
ruler of Britannia. I
58:26
suck a punched King Arthur. I'm
59:29
King Arthur. I'm
59:38
King Arthur. I'm
59:43
King Arthur. I'm
59:53
King Arthur. I'm King Arthur. Thank
1:00:00
you.
