The Night Shift is a real play D and D video and podcast series for
mature audiences. Content warnings can be found in the episode descriptions Last time on
the night Shift. You're gonna pick something up. You're gonna pick something up.
We're gonna be a dunce. I mean, I don't know consequences.
I don't want to be a dunce, to be clear. That could be,
could be, that could be like a little classic evil wizard understatement.
And know you're a dunce and here's an infernal demon. If we're gonna touch
something on the table, I would vote maybe drink some wine, then at
least get Okay, no, you kind of hi, can't scream together gold
My souls already sold. Swim you trapped a spell. I wish you well
for creature owns your streets. You do better to retreat if you want,
right, don't h a night shaft? Okay? Um? Yeah, you
you turn the key, the door folds opens. Yeah. Um. Seems
like a needless flourish, but it is mate oisted on my own patat content.
And as you look into the following room I would say, you don't
even have to sort of enter it yet. Um, you can say that
there's like just people standing around looking kind of let's call it like board,
I guess, but just standing how many people forty thirty? Maybe hard to
tell. Okay, like human, yeah, humanoid at the least humanoid.
Yeah, like they Elford door for human or they have a human shape.
Okay, all mites, not a minute or it's not a grenasity. Do
they do they turn and look at us as we come through this door?
They do not. They're aware of our look up to the first one slap
one through the door. Okay, they all turn and face you. Oh,
kind of like slack jawed, like like they're under a trance or yeah,
very good, like they're under a trance. Their mouths are sort of
they're like mouth breathing, like a bunch of Eli Mannings in the room.
Apparently a football player, he played at all miss, he's a retired now
NFL. Thank you. I actually did need that. I had no idea.
Yeah whatever, younger, I'll go ahead. So they actually are human
like we can. They have skin. It doesn't look just like mannequins or
you make a perception check. All right, so yeah, all these questions.
Now you gonna do some shit, I'm gonna starts the whole thing.
Start to loosen my lot up a little nice. Um, okay, I'll
just give it to you straight. Um. Looking at are, let's call
it forty eight. You are able to just count it real quick, just
a head count, get it real quick? Really eight? Um? Sad?
Do you think counting it's sad? What are you talking about? It
is? I mean, literally so numbers. The letters of forty eight say
slack jars almost hypnotized humanoids. However, it looks like they're flesh. It's
sort of sagging off their bones. Zombies Okay, yeah, sort of a
zombie look, but maybe recently zombified if they don't look super decayed. Um,
pretty much immediately they start ambling towards you. That's not good. Soon
as you enter the room, look out. I don't know if you if
anyone has noticed, but this crowd of people are starting to kind of shamble
away, and I'm feeling really nervous about this. Well, they're gonna have
a rude awakening when they meet Tembo Steel. I agree, dude, Um,
like I kind of just want to fight them. You should hurry.
There's lots of people in here and I don't think that they have the best
of intentions. Hurry where what all always runs but never walked in, often
murmurs but never talks, has a bed but never sleeps A damn river water?
Well so fast, I grew up on the banks of shit. You
completed room three of the getaway chamber started, and now all you have to
do is make it past these unfriendly folk. Oh great, let's well,
initiative. Do we see a door in the back? Just we get an
idea of the room, there is a door behind them. Soon as the
word river is said, a door appears in the back. Guys, don't
worry. Seventeen don't have screamed through these riddles. We've been playing D and
D two long I power levels over five thousand, and your actual level is
six. Apparently we're not good at the food riddles. It's a good point.
Thank you, Thank you for you have a dice? I do I
already have one? Use it? Man, I can't give it. We
haven't anybody yet here? All right? Uh? What out tom sixteen telius
zero zero row to two and my initiative is negative two zero tilius. How
do you want to play? I'm just going to corner and just chill.
Let them handle this. Just chill, all right, He's gonna good chill.
And you got fourteen? Got up? I was like, that just
makes five fourteen okay, um, zambies get eleven all right? Uh I
believe Timbo goes first. Hey, I don't that you first number? Uh?
Yeah, I might. I'll go to seventeen. M I say about
time we get a fight, and I flix my picks a couple of times,
give them a little dance, and uh, I'll go ahead and inner
a rage. Oh I'm stark, raven mad at these zombies. That's the
bonus action. That's the bonus action. And with missed Weaver in the other
hand, I'll give them. I give a noise like slash through one of
them, and I want to look really cool doing it. I'm starting that's
gonna go right through it. Yeah. Absolutely, it's up to the dice.
But then like I'm spinning as I do that, like like a baseball
player, like really getting his hips into it so that yeah, hits,
so that I could then do like a full three sixty and slash again at
a different one twice. Yeah, in the one turn, I can attack
twice now it feels like a brand new thing. It is, it is.
I'm this because all she can do is run through grass faster than before.
We'll room I just disintegrate. Yeah yeah, yeah. Also, the
first one, as I described, is a reckless attack. Uh, just
absolutely reckless, giving me an advantage. Well, sure, you're turning your
back to a bunch of zombies. Well, but the first one I'm really
using my full hip swing into it. The second one I don't have advantage
on U because yeah, you know, at that point I've turned my back,
but now they have advantage if they attack me as well. That's what
happens, all right, all right, so first attack roll add advantage two
handed missedweaver. Um, let's see, it's an eight and a nine,
but it's a plus seven to attack here, it's a sixteen. Stills at
him, and that's that's going to do. That's a one. Uh,
but that that's still gonna do eight damage to the zombie. Eight damage.
Yeah. So you you slash it at that one right in front of you,
and it doesn't stop moving, but it's guts just sort of spill out
on the floor in front of it. He continues walking through its own pastard
um gore. But I do my really cool spin move. You do your
really cool spin move, exposing your back briefly. Yeah, it was ambi.
Yeah, and and then and and then I swing the sword again.
That's what I do. Oh and and that's a seven. This I did.
I did declare earlier. It was at a different one because I was
just anticipating killing the first one immediately. But that's gonna be a twenty four
to hit on the second one. Uh yeah, and that'll do thirteen damage
to the second one. Thirteen damage. So yeah, let's say you,
uh turn all the way around and just lop this one's head off. Yeah,
the ground body sort of collapses over over the head in fact um,
what else? How cool do I look doing that? Team? How cool?
Fucking badass dude, You gutted one and then chop the head off the
other while spinning. Then yeah, and the head went flying like anime style,
like yeah, an immigrant song playing in the background the whole high sweet
okay, all right, uh yeah, okay, uh yeah. Like now
now I like ripped my vest open, naturally, this you gonna have like
a seamstress one like retainer or something. Well, it's it's like it's it's
asign. It's a barbarians agetation can like men shit too. It's a design
that's got some leather straps that are just designed to be ripped apart every now
and then. Truly awful image. I believe Tom Bombo's next. All right,
So with immigrants song rolling, I'm gonna so like Timbo's in front of
me, right, um so I don't want to hit him, So I'm
gonna kind of roll to the side. I'm gonna pop up and I'll be
like, I'm gonna take my loot and kind of put it on my fucking
hip like a big like you know, predator style, and I'll be like,
guys, follow me. I'm going to clear a path and then umm
oh, and then you know, like right when the chord strikes lightning bolt
power chord lightning bolt, which is a it is a it is a stroke
of lightning one hundred feet long and five feet wide. Who in any direction
that you choose, and each creature in the line must make a dexterity saving
throw. So I got to the side lightning bolt who shotgun blast? Wow?
Is that is that? Where did that kind? It is a new
spell. Yeah, I got a fraturning level six. It's not even a
bard spell. You leveled up too, bite, it's like super powerful does
a lot of damage. Good? All right? Um, yeah, so
how are you kind of directing us? So that's what I'm saying. Okay,
So Timbo's in front of me. So I ran to the side,
like I'm still in the back room, and I'm pointing at that door.
I'm clearing a path through that door. I told them, like, follow
me, bright, do you want that? You gotta make a dexterity saving
over these bombs everything that's in the line to the door. All right?
Do you want me to roll like ten different things or do you want to
roll in all or nothing? Check? You're called yeah, yeah, you're
called all or another because it would make sense to like some would dodge and
others one like I fucked it up. If they dodge, I'm keeping it.
I rolled it on accident. I'm keeping it. I haven't looked at
it. It's on the floor, you lucky dog. What is it?
All right? Uh? Don't have great dexterity, I figured, and they
rolled an eight. Okay, so they get incinerated. Yeah, it's it.
Does eight D six damage each. Oh yeah, I don't know,
it says yeah creature. Creature takes eight D six damage on a failed save
or half as much on a successful one. Oh so they were dead either
way? Every dead either way? Yeah for sure? Uh okay, Yeah,
roll was a lightning bolt through the room, out of my loot,
out of this loot, tip of my loot that I'm holding, Predator style
greed the loot. Yeah, just fires through all these Then I'm gonna start
running in the little gap that I made. How much movement you have?
I don't know, thirty character? All right, so you're halfway across the
room. All right, kestrel, what do you want to do? I
have been or any of these zombies made of grass, grass mayhaps straw.
Y'all laugh. But I could do something with that. Oh yeah, do
it flex um or just follow top. Looks like we're getting out of here.
Yeah, gosh, I wish I had m hmmm, wish I could?
Can I Can I hold my turn? Yeah? You can? Um,
you can hold your turn, But uh, it needs to be sort
of an if then situation, So like if this happens, then I'll do
this and and that can be as simple as if Attilius takes his turn,
then I'm going to take my turn. I'll let you kind of hold the
whole thing and delay your order. Okay, okay, do you want to
do? Yes? That specifically the thing I just said yes, Oh okay,
So after Attiliusis turn is when you woke up after the zombie turn?
Is zombie come after Attelius. Zombie comes before Attilius, Um, then after
Attius after Attelius. Okay, zombie's next. Oh Um. They're going to
attempt to close the gap behind Tom. If very much like a pack mentality,
they see a hole, their goal is to not let you, you
know, sprint through it, and so they kind of move to close that
gap. So I would say pretty quickly that gap Tom behind you starts to
close, and the crowd starts to split a little bit. You got like
maybe seven or eight of them coming towards you Tom, the rest of them
pressing closer. Yes, you have any kind of died in this tech.
Generally it's five feet wide all the way to the door. Yeah. I
was gonna say they were twelve in that line. Okay, cool, twelve
completely out of out of commission. So we're down to thirty thirty six something
like that. Yeah, yeah, thirty six. Yeah, well I killed
one two yeah through yeah, thank you, and one with guts on the
floor. Um okay, So what we're gonna do is Timbo one of them
is going to attack you with advantage. Yeah, because he can do that
because you're reckless. Attack basically while you're back was turned. He's gonna leap
at you. You know, he's got the he's got the right to do
that. Well, hold on on on al maybe he won't because I'm going
to wait, uh, maybe not. I'm curious. I can use my
reaction to expend one of my uses of bartic inspiration and oh, I subtract
some role I thought I could take away from your advantage. Give me your
numbers, but don't tell me if it hits or not. Right? Is
that how it works? Uh? The opposite. You can choose to use
this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the d M returns.
Oh okay, okay, um no, let him swing. Good news.
He sucks. He goes to jump at your back and I think you
just sort of like as you're spinning, Yeah, move you out of the
way, and he just kind of stumbles pack. He didn't realize that had
a whole pirouette planned. True. All right, you're gonna have four more
coming at you. Yeah, what miss hit hit man? This last two
just barely hit two. Um, okay, so we're gonna say they barely
hit you because it literally was like scraping by. So essentially what happens is
they kind of like scratch at you. They're not holding weapons, you know,
they're kind of burying their teeth and scratching at you. And you were
gonna take nine points of damage. Uh, so I have resistance to that
damage, so cut it cuts in half? So that does that go to
five? Yeah, let's go five. We'll round up all halves. Attilious,
you said you went into the corner and just sort of waited, right,
Yeah, all right, we're gonna go three come at you. Yeah,
what's tracy is nine? Miss miss and miss um one of them critically
misses, scratches the other one's eye can't see anymore? Has everyone seen the
new episode of kenoeby No No Jesus was in a roomful of nerds. Came
out yesterday two in the morning last night drunk after going out right real one
right here. I hear you, I hear you. Um, Tom,
You're gonna get three coming at you as they kind of catch up to you.
And zombies. I'm pretty fucking fast, which my ac is. Let
me see it updated. It was normally fourteen uh fourteen, all right?
A hit, critical miss, and a critical hit. So I think one
of them is gonna try and scratch at you, and you are so sort
of nimbly and bimble. He trips up over his own feet and snatches his
head on the on the concrete or on the floor. Yeah. Um,
and his brains just sort of still out in front of you. That one's
gone. Wow. Um. However, one of them hits you four points
of damage and the other one critically hits you seven points of damage. Oh
no, fine voice, I'm fine, Calm down. Um did I do
everybody? Do? I slip on the brains to set up that critical hit?
I'm guessing zombie like zombies running at me. He falls brain spill.
I'm like, oh, and I kind of like slip a little bit and
stumble, and then that's when he ye catches me with a get grab you
and kind of bite you on your back. Oh get me being bit right.
Yeah, Lindau, you were trying to run through the path that you
cleared. Yeah, I thought it was a good idea. I mean a
little faster. Lindsey's just not acknowledging my presence, hoping. I just the
rhyme crown. I have to use one of my spells in order to make
it rhyme. I'm bending the rules pretty big on that one. Like,
oh really, Like I think I wish I would have known that I'm gonna
modify it to be at a level that you could actually wield. Like if
you pick a ninth level spell, I'm gonna have to, you know,
bring that down. Okay, but no, I would say, like magic,
just any magic spell, make it run. Okay, it's not return
yet. I'm attacking you with zombies, is what I was. Okay,
Okay, Okay, so wrapped up, and I have this idea and I
want to use it, but I have to okay, continue freeze ambies um
critical miss hell yeah it critical hit um Okay, so I hit. Okay,
I think again. Uh. Well, let's say let's say one of
them trips over the uh the wounded body of the one that um Timbo sliced
through and again falls in. His head just sort of splits open when he
hits the ground. Um. The other two, however, I think it's
just like the crowd sort of presses in Kestrel and kind of pinge you against
the wall a little bit, and you're kind of fighting back, but there's
just so many hands and teeth and all that crap. Um. One of
them gets a good scratch on you, which is gonna be five points of
damage. Ouch. And then another one grabs your arm and chomps down on
a big piece of flesh, and that's gonna be ten points of damage.
How does that cock taste? Cockress? I was like, Jesus, what
give me a pretty freaked out look there listening and not watching, seeing how
how serious he was, just completely flat affect. Oh that's great that one.
Call that one, call me unawares. That makes me very happy.
Use your inspiration, I so I can give you more. You have too
many of these moments. Um. Okay, that's all the zombies, which
means it is now Attilius's term, which means next is Kestrel's turn. I
hope she's ready. Okay, she might not need to worry about it.
Oh really, talk. So as I woke up in front of Timbo and
Kestrel, I say to them, you all have fancy new toy that you've
been displaying here. Well, I too have a fancy newti I would like
to put forth. It's a little number I like to call the circle of
death. On this dark magic sphere of negative energy ripples out in a sixty
foot radius spear from a point within range. Each creature in that area was
taking constitution. Saving through a target takes eight dies six necrotic damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one damage. But
yeah, that's why I stepped in front of them. I think with a
sixty five there's zombies. But still I think with a sixty foot radius you
can you can probably get I would say, you can get all of the
zombies, but you cannot help but get Tom, damn it. So the
other option would be, you can get all the zombies in front of you
three, but you can't get the zombies surrounding Tom. Yeah, I can't.
Tom is basically pandemic, Castro is pretty pinned in, so you'd probably
get all the zombies except like two, I'm gonna get him. Be like
I can't do it. You can try to back you off your plan,
trying to make sure you understand the hut we're doing. Just take them all
up. Just don't kill me. I don't want to kill I don't want
to kill Tom. Okay, So you're gonna try and hit all the zombies
that you can reasonably hit without hitting friends especially. Yeah, okay, So
what's gonna happen is basically, there's gonna be like two or three round kestroll
that aren't hit. There's gonna be like six. I got two on me,
at least two. Well, I mean I have to attacking me.
Yeah, they were like six, there were seven originally one I'm died six
on on Tom. All of the others are gonna be en circle of death.
Um, they have to make a con save. Is that what it
was? Yeah, I'm absolutely not rolling that thirty times. Well, they
still take half damage if they miss. Yeah. Yeah, so they're dead.
They're dead. I'm gonna roll it in wa let's roll it anyway.
Really, you know, what does it look like? What does the giant
sphere of negative energy? You have seen? Here's how I'm envisioning. Let
me paint your little picture. Yes, if you have seen full Metal outcome
aisterr Brotherhood. Yes, a circle of sort of like archanic runs sort of
arcs Outmatilius along the ground and then starts spinning and all these ruins, so
the inner circles spinning the opposite direction as the outside circle, and all these
runs start sort of like pointing at one another or connecting to one another.
Whoa, and then it just flashes. And it flashes when I say flashes,
like black energy, just sort of up and then back. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, they never then I yeld the time on the back.
Hey, don't worry about immigrants. Loon crank up for whom to beltis by
my tallenge. That actually goes along with what I wanted to do. Did
we did? We kill all the zombies, So the only way that it
won't kill the vast majority of them is if they corre. Yeah, that's
the only way they could get out of it. Oh, you're so on
the money. They failed, which is I believe my first time in a
row yeats by us. So this in real life he's just fingertutting Tom's finger
cutting, pretending like he's actually doing the man um. I'm doctor Strange shit.
Yeah, this circle on the ground, it literally just like flashes up
with like a dark energy and then just as quickly disappears and nothing is left
in its wake. The sound my plan was, can it make when it
doesn't know? It's specific to this one? Like it's a very can it
make that sound? Like those depth charges made an attack of the clones?
And Bobefitt dropped my out of ships like who I'm gonna need you to find
that sound? Ye and just great, and then in the flames like yeah,
it's a really great sound. Yeah it is. I love that great
rocky Okay, what was that? And now a word from our sponsors?
Who wants to go play Little Wars? Fucked up? Yeah? No,
I think I think we're doing it out of here? Who want? Yeah?
So this past holiday season, you guys, where did you get a
lot of your gifts? Uh? Well, Little Wars? Actually where I
got this sweet D and D sleet thing. He did notice that your character
sheets are Yeah, yeah, finally finally remember my spell cards. You can
also buy a Little Wars. Yeah. My brother is actually really big into
random tape top games and I found a couple of new ones from him,
Like what is it the trail at Balder's Gate, which sounds really fun to
D and D Universe technical the India Universe the only uh. It takes a
little while to set up, but boys are worth it, really a good
payoff. And then a couple of my other friends are really into painting those
miniatures, so I got them like a couple of gift cards to like,
go and get that cool. We should get some miniatures for us and we
can have them on the table. Like it's a great idea about a Blood
Bowl season two booklet, because Blood bowls incredible, and actually Little Wars has
like probably legitimately one of the best Blood Bowl communities in the entire country.
If that sounds like some of you be in do. They have like thirty
two person leagues that you can go play in, super super fun. In
general, they have fantasy football is fantasy football where they fantasy is you know
your goblins and orcs and towards me, very very tactical, the most rage
inducing game I've ever played in my entire life. Well, in general,
Little Wars has an amazing community, not Nigel blood Bowl, I mean the
staff there is also super helpful whenever you walk in just like, hey,
can we help you find a game? Like what are you looking for?
Yeah? So they're they're really great, easy to kind of dive into exactly
what you might be interested in. It's not clicky like a lot of those
stores are. And if you haven't been in the Little Wars in a few
years, like before Vann and them took it over, had a little bit
of them. Van just completely turned it around, he really did. It's
such a r amosphere. It's not like a you know, sometimes you walk
in and you just feel like an outsider. Not in the case at Little
Wars. One of Baton Rouge's hidden gems right off of Jefferson Highway in Baton
Rouge. Find them on Instagram at little Wars br They've got a Facebook page
as well. Make sure you're checking them out. Thanks to Little Wars for
being a sponsor of the Night Shift. Who thanks Little Wars love you.
Welcome the aired house Kickball, turn them up up necks. We have the
night Shift perennial losers. You know, their legs of I'm stronger, their
hearts have grown three times the size and they appear Okay, well, let's
take a little break, ladies. A gentleman, and we'll be back at
five. Feeled a little stronger since the last time. We're leveled up,
even though it's been a little while. Wow, Wow, hey Bill,
great job out there. Man, you really uh well, I know you
didn't get on base today, but your effort was astounding. Great job,
Bill. People keep telling me that I was, I was, I was
never gonna get to third base, and I I, um, I didn't
know you didn't effort. How did you missed that ball? I kicked it
right to you, I mean right, gee, I might as well use
you. It's the ball next. Want to be fair, I'm about the
size of the ball, and you kicked it was right. Next time you
climb up, Old Matilius, is is that legal? We look in the
room. Just pour me a drink, okay, whatever, Well, I'm
so angry right now. My good friends over at rally cap the liberty of
brewing us a beer named after us a thing that will never truly understand,
and that is victory formation. And there's some assessment to be some sort of
runic symbols of some sort from these cans. Well, yes, the good
news is a hazy i pa eight percent alcohol by a volume. Victory formation
is very tasty, even though we'll never really understand what it's like. Hey
it's only fifteen to zero. Okay, y'all, it's free. They still
haven't chance it is for sure. It's a perfect sports brew. Yes,
yeah, quenches the first I reckon. When I crank out, my dingers
are can just trot around the base path and watch it with the dingers.
This is the family sport. We don't want to fucking love American football.
I get it now. It's like I can read the room. It's football,
man. Fuck. Yeah, this is actually great. Something happened.
It's all bump over there. Yeah, thank delicious beer. Pelican Craft Brands
distributes this throughout the Greater Louisiana area. Always a fan of bringing delicious craft
beer to the people. To take notes of Citrus. It's quite delicious palate
various stute over there. She worked on her kickball skills like she's been working
on her beer. Tom's fault. He missed the ball, messed the ball.
You know the game works, Why would you kicking the field? All
right? Kestrel Okay, So I use the rhyme crown and instead of transport
via plants I'm now changing it to dance sport via pants, and I want
all of the zombies to start doing the thriller dance. Yes, really wanting.
I'm gonna start strumming now Brown get at anybody. But they just started,
like they start doing like you know, the showing just like and they
just start dancing and play like for you. There's three of them and they're
like one of them had his mouth on your arm and he just sort of
sits back and starts dancing. And you're still surrounded to some degree, but
like they're just dancing around you. Tom saying for you, it's like not
a super easy pad out, but they're just like dancing in place. I
feel like Tom starts dancing with them. Tom immediately Tom pulls and and obviously
like you on me. But I feel like they would have to roll something
to get out of the dance, like they wouldn't be Oh yeah, I
would consider them charmed and someone cool. Um yeah, I think on well,
I should probably make them roll. As to whether they actually succeed or
fail that role. What does the original spell do? Transport via plants like
not relevant wisdom safe, which they're really bad at. Okay um to see
if they enter the strands, they at least initially hit a few steps because
who can resist? It's Michael j Like, but he did make some star
we separate those things. You hear in the background too, Boom doom doom,
doom doom. Okay, they rolled an eighteen with negatives to wisdom,
but oof, man, that feels like a real high roll. It feels
like they should pass run. They still got distrac Yeah, let's say,
let's say they hit a few steps. Who can resist Mickey j Um?
But yeah, I think they kind of shake it off after a second.
Are you able to do that with entangled? Like like if like if you
roll something, you come mound. That's that's how that spell works, like
it's on the first stry or it's when their turn goes. If they're not
actually entangled until they in their turn and entangled, it doesn't entangle them immediately.
I think I'm pretty sure in this case, you're like charming them essentially,
So they have to have some way, okay to not just immediately be
ensourceled, you know what I mean. There has to be some sort of
check um. Now, with that said, I think the music continues playing
it on their turn if they if we get to it, um, they
would have to make an additional check to make sure they they don't get reensourceled
Timbo what we do? All right, I'll say that was great. You
were just like waiting for to say something had a weird day at work?
Come. Yeah, I realized that there there is that brief moment of distraction,
and I say to the door, and I queue up the song from
Disney's Rubbing the Hood where Lady Cluck runs through all the bad guys. I
just starts stiff as I'm running right and then I pick up I pick up
Tom like a little football, and I keep the door and I tell you
and cast are just like, how is Timbo that fast? Because I also
got faster? Yeah, which can get me all the way to the door
on this turn, by the way, because I was already into the room
after my pirouette from last the Greatest Action. So I mean, if I
need to do some arn arms strikes or something on my stiff arms, I'm
happy to roll for that, uh, because I feel like I'm really getting
them like up in the jaw, I mean, like some real good stiff
arms essentially. But lindsay what were you asking? Well, I was gonna
say whenever I did my spell, do I also get a bonus action of
just like running, can I start running towards the door? Is all I
meant. You have movement, you can run? Okay, I'm running toward
the door okay during my turn as well, and much like Lady Clock,
I mean, if some of these zombies look like they're coming out always said
that you were just like Lady Clarks. Some of them like, you know,
I'm stiff arming some of them in the face. But then some of
them like maybe I did a little leap up and I really like get them
to face planned into the ground. I needs to understand that I have a
deep and abiding law of fact. Yeah, that's like my favorite Disneys.
I'm brilliant speaking to me on like a betual absolutely also Australian. Can he
can he do? Like remember an Antonio Brown like jumped up in the air
and like cleaded that dude in the face and kept on running. Knew that
while he's holding me Brown professional point is the point is in a game he's
running and he jumped up and put his foot in some dude's face and literally
ran off it like like an anime, but like in real life. It
was in Jane all keep in mind is a very tavern brawler kind of move,
which is one of my feats that I had. I am a tavern
brawler. It was a great point. What skill does, well, it
it gives it gives me, h, I'm proficient and improvised weapons, uh,
such as up tom and carry him. I got my nice place kind
of time. Similar my unarmed strike as a one D four plus my strength
bonus, not just my strength bonus. So it's actually a one day four
plus seven just for an unarmed strike, notre plus seven is I'm assuming,
oh, Castrol, you were surrounded by zombies though, Yeah, but she
started to run. No opportunity attacks when you're jamming MJ. Everybody knows that.
That's that's basically in the book. Yeah, Gary guy guy said that
himself. All right, um, okay, so I think you see a
zombie sort of stretching out trying to grab Castrol. She runs by. That's
your first move. It's just like stiff arm, stiff arm, a good
steak roll for it, arm strike. What we're going for? Oh good
good that well, that's gonna be a thirteen thirteen. Yeah, um,
here's what I think happens, um timboon unless you unless you disagree, okay,
Um, I think you kind of grab and push like you're kind of
grab him by the elbow and push. That whole arm just comes off.
Now guess what I have an arm? You have an improvised so I think
it's a fourth arm from my vand because I'm like down here, your skin
is so moisture, moisture, all right, So and then I think for
for Tom Tom being surrounded by more of them, your goal here is to
I mean, you get into one through the ideal yeah, um so,
but one of them could be like the cleat move and and you know,
a good high knee while I'm clearing cleat move and arm swing yes, yeah,
alright, so arm swing first. Okay, here's the arm swing.
Oh yeah, that's gonna that's gonna be a it's a thirteen, but the
plus seven that's a twenty. Uh and that's on that twenty cleat movies in
that twenty to be clear. Yes, okay, rints across the room with
way more speed, and I have though I'm carrying the arm than a barbarian
of his side. He slams that arm against the back of the zombies head
and it just slices through it like jello. The head just the head just
and the head sort of rises in the air. So, from my vantage
point, you that zombie was facing me, his head flies Tim kind of
grabs you by like the scruff of your neck essentially, and then leaps and
puts his foot in the next zombie's face and him. But I don't know
that you understood how much leverage and momentum you had because you were so rage
filled. Yes, but you plant your foot on this thing's like chin slash
neck and push, and the three zombies behind it all go with it onto
the ground. One of them hits the head, blood, you know,
brain skull out. The others definitely laying on the ground, tons of damage.
I think that the one you kicked certainly is dead. Um, the
others are at least going to be grievously injured. Can't can't walk. I
think there's like two on their feet at this point. So uh, yeah,
you can. You continue sprinting, right? Yeah? Yeah? Um,
you get all the way to the door and all of your night shift
friends are already there. I tellius. Were you there? Darkness yet?
Oh? You're right? Okay, So Tom, we're still in a store.
Tom, what's your what's your turn? Look like? Try to open
the door? Open the door? All right? Um? You try to
handle here so hard you can't. You haven't finished chamber three? Yeah,
all of them? Okay? Maybe, yeah, Okay. I'll roll my
eyes and I'll get up my crossbow and look shot. This is important.
You're looking at me while shooting. Perfect isn't a no look shot. It's
no look shot. I'm looking at where the voice emanated from, like up,
motherfucker. All right, So you're shooting in one of the zombies,
yeah, okay, and you two left? Right? I think there's yeah
three eighteen, yeah, eighteen to the attack. That's a twenty four.
So make it like the whistle, by the way, I've got still ring
him like a football. And then just turned and shot blind two of the
zombies back from or Orchestral Was had just exited the third step in the thriller
dance and happened to sort of line up perfect, and the bolt passes through
both of their heads and ends them to the wall and the back. I
believe there's one left now, um, it's gonna be his turn. He
ambles his way over, He covers like twenty feet. He doesn't quite get
to you Atilius. I'm gonna eldritch blast his bitch. It's a little like
overkill. But go before I went, you're still the lighting order behind Atilius.
Oh okay, Oh that wasn't just for one turn. That was once
you do it. It rule, well, the house rule. I don't
know if it's an official rule. It might once. Yeah, otherwise everyone
could kind of like play with that every round. So we've always done like
you can delay your order, but you can't. I can't do it every
turner bit all right, all that they do? Yes, thirteen thirteen,
it's thirteen plus six, yeah plus six. It's gonna do one dot ten
plus three roller that uh confute? H no yeah yeah this no, ya,
I got I got it math six six plus three nine. That's gonna
be good enough. Um, I think for Attilious this part, he sort
of starts like kind of jogging, like he's not putting a ton of effort
in yet. He went last an initial order on fucking purpose. He's not
in a huge hurry. He was never really worried. After the circle of
death. He took it pretty in the sort of jogs by and then one
of these zombies I approaches him and he just hand out and blast his head
off and keeps running. Um attilius. I think you know you were some
reason I came out. Does eld blast come out of your hand? Yeah,
came out of his mouth, just like that's not your breath. It's
definitely yeah, okay, come out of your bro That ship was fire.
That was crazy. What was that? I mean? I just said,
fuck you, zombie was coming at me and I blew your brains out.
Dark matter spell, Yeah, that was That was one of my my new
spells. I guess you can say I have leveled up some. Yeah.
It's a good feeling, isn't It's not bad. It's not bad. No,
you cat, I saw you just cut through that seaweed. This could
be he created a whole dance number. What are you talking about? Up,
We don't even know what your new spell was. Choreography. Maybe we
don't even know what's in room for. Maybe it was full of vines.
Yes, that's lush for. I attempted to make it that just so you
can flex a little bout you jumped in the water earlier and you said,
it's okay, guys, I'm here to kelp. Wow, do you have
an star? I have? I haven't rolled low enough again at this point,
go for go for that and that twenty baby. All right, Well,
now we'll try the door. Try the door here. You can't leave
yet. You haven't finished Room three. I use my eagle eyes and scanned
the room. Are there any zombies left alive? There's a couple like wriggling.
They were like two that you knocked over the kind of riddle. Zombies
are part of it because the door appeared whenever we solve the riddle. So
you need to do like a thing, maybe do some sort of river thing
here. I am, I am legitimately not be very sincere here. Do
we need to do a water thing? Like? Yeah? I think I
think maybe we need to finish off the couple of zombies. We'll just go,
you know, you go stop their heads. Yeah, and then we'll
try the door. Try the door again. You can't leave room three,
you haven't finished yet. What else is in the room besides us and dead
people? Just you and like forty eight zombie bodies. Well, I'm forty
eight because a bunch of this spear because he burned them all ash. But
whatever, you know, they didn't burn ash. They just sort of like
got ripped to shreds. Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, I guess
we investigate the room a little bit. Yeah, walk around, investigation check
to help. Twenty let's got detective that on surelock. So we're there two
now twenty. Yes, I got one. Tom got oh, I was
celebrating yours. I got it. I got an eighth modified eighteen. He
just wanted to live vicariously through your success. Yeah, yeah, good job.
Okay, so I think Kestral, everybody else sort of siphons away and
starts inspect. Like Tom goes over to a corner, he said, and
just starts looking in the corner. Um, Kestral, you sort of stand
there and you feel kind of drawn to the door, and you notice that
there's a there's a lock on the door with a keyhole, and you don't
have a key the door, and you can turn the doorknob. Last time
you try to, you felt that turn the doorknob, but it's locked.
Hm, you need a key. Do we have searched the zombies and say
I'll start rumming, Jane, just give me the word. Yeah, that
sounds like what's something we must do? Then? Um, well, yeah,
guys, we need a key. Could you like just put on that
rhyme crown again and just like make up a spell that's like find the key.
Yeah, off the top of your head. I'd be impressed. Um,
all right, Joe, we do we think it's in the zombies.
Was there a leader of the of the zombies? Did it? Didn't?
Even of the zombies feel like them have like a red jacket on, and
like I hat did he kind of like tipped down a little bit just being
an asshole. Check the red jacket guy. Check the red jacket guy with
the one glove. I vaguely looked like cassing out with the red jacket.
I think that's the first one I chopped his head off. Yeh um.
You walk up to the guy in the red jacket, I think castroll for
your part. When he approaches, You're like, for some reason at the
red jacket one white glove. He was like maybe he was a butler of
some sort and he lost his other gloves. He didn't notice until you ruled
that twenty Yeah, prepared to go outside apparently or something I don't know.
Hard hard to figure out. But as he approached, you're talking about the
beat it outfit, not because I don't remember the thriller outfit jacket, but
he didn't have a hat, no hat. Did he have a glove?
Oh? I didn't have a glove either. What that probably works better anyway
then, because we like probably would to notice the red jacket at first,
and Castro was like, wait, fine, we'll reckon it. It's just
so um god dressed in a red jeet, red leather jacket, a greasy
Jerry curl or like you know, firm hair. Yeah from foot. When
you said it felt problematic, problematic intended to be problem it feels. That's
why I wanted to point it out for some reason. When he gets close,
When when Timbo gets close to the guy in the red jacket, it
just kestro just feels right. It feels like that's where the key is that
one? This one? Yeah, I'm just like knee deep and like some
fucking zombie. I just like ripping guts out to stop Timbo's close. You're
at You're you're not cold, you're hot. Yeah, so what are you
doing? I give it a little pat down. I search for a key.
Pockets the jackets way more pockets than zippers, you know, like why
should somebody have that many zippers? I guy go through them all. I
look for them and find noe. Okay, do zipbers exist in this world?
Check the glove? Do I find any other trinkets? And he rings?
Any jewelry? So you find a couple of gold and I'm on a
random ring. It's on his finger. He's clearly a married person. But
you know, chop off his hand. Yeah, I pocket that. I
chop off his hand and I bring it over to the keyhole and my stuff
his finger into the keyhole. Oh, I'm just kinda stand there brushing off,
like thought I was supposed to come up with the gross pretty extreme right
there. You just like jam it in there like the flesh chestra. I
don't think it. I don't. I don't. Yeah, as you do
that, that's not a key, you hear the voicecoat up, Uh,
don't don't do that. It's a gross. Um. But there's not like
a fingerprint scanner or something that's not it. Definitely doing that. I'm impress
an igetation and get all that gunk out of a Yeah, all right,
and why does it feel right? It goes right? Um? Okay,
hand doesn't the Okay, I'm gonna take him. I'm gonna drag his head
over and snack it. God, gross, what are you doing? What?
You exploded all over you? It just took me a minute. I'm
okay, so again, I'll clean up. The eyeball scanner doesn't work?
All right, I take off the jacket. Okay, the jacket. You
know, you know what? I stuffed the jackett the keyhole Do you know
what a keyhole is? In what sense? Everything? Look under the hat.
I'm just trying every days to extreme violence. So well, even searched
his pockets. So now we got to jam his whole fucking head and the
keyhole jacket off? What you what? Just that's what she was just talking
about him. He put the jacket on a river and put the jacket on.
You put the jacket one was way off eleven. It looks like decent.
Yeah, that's a good books for sure. That's that's a noise jacket.
That's funny. It's such a good fit. He was. Um,
I could see it. I guess I've never seen well one time he had
the reddress on that was bad. I suppose it's not. You look average?
Wowohut up you? He was like, where's the furbye? Wow?
Well I forget DND what you like? I love you my Pokemon still.
I would just playing with him all day long. Yeah, I'm like he
was. That is one of the most purest things I ever heard, Like
all the time, like it was like it was a Pokemon I was training.
Yeah, that feels like all the time, the Pokemon. Um,
It's like drilled into my head. Do we still have the key from under
the pear? Oh? Wow? I pulled it out of my pocket and
try it. We didn't have a key. I said, you didn't have
a key? You didn't have a key? What happened to? Timbo tries
it next time on night shift? Am I finding anything in the guts?
Uh? You? Yeah? Rip open its guts, um, and you
find a lot of guts and blood. And did you ever dissect owl pellets
in school? Yeah? Yeah, absolutely, A little bit like that.
You find some like digested a little mouth. He loved eating mice,
