Hope this email finds you well. Overworked and Underplayed is a not safe for
work Dungeons and Dragons actual play podcast about a group of young professionals from the
real world who find themselves transported to a strangely familiar place full of fantasy and
magic. See attached for episode descriptions and content warnings. Thanks for listening.
All right, and I'm pretty sure this isn't exactly like they are in real
life. But there's like nine coup holders in here. Imagine how many beers
that we can have in this thing while 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 because they don't have vehicles, so it's probably
it's not against the law as long as they don't hit anything to be fine.
Yeah, I mean what's there to hit? I mean it's open road,
so it's like it's gonna be so easy. 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 that I can do. You know that thing
I showed you when we were in the library. I can make myself look
tall again. Even if it's only for ten minutes, it feels like it's
for a long time. Yeah. Yeah, they're very fair, and i'd
me learning to hit someone twice instead of 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 we meeting them? I think probably head to
fact smoke cloud over there. I think that's probably the right direction most likely.
Whoa buddy like you pulled up a little closer? Don't you think it's
fine? This thing breaks like a charm. Greetings listeners, I'm Alex Capps.
You're DM or District manager and this is overworked and underplayed. A D
and D podcast. Four Young Professionals by Young Professionals. Today's icebreaker is something
that always makes you laugh, no matter how many times you've seen, read,
or heard it. What Up? It's your boy, Marcel Hardy playing
Richard Cox, a human consultants turned halfling bard who holy believes it's better to
be lucky than good, but it's best to be both. And something that
makes Richard laugh no matter how many times he's seen it is the scene and
what we do in the shadows where Nandor recounts his summer of reawakening and he
gets sucked into an air pure fire and then his hair is just pure white.
Or when the scene when he's on the news and he's like, I'm
Nandor the Relentless and then like the little subtitles like Nandor de Laurentz. Actually,
you know it just everything from that show. Hello, my name is
Anlain Hardy, and I play Taylor Jacobs, a centaur barbarian with a heart
of gold. And something that makes her laugh every time she watches it is
you know that show Baskets. So there's one episode where like Martha finds a
dog like on the side of the road and like takes it home and it's
like just drawing her house and she's like super frustrated, and I'm pretty sure
the dog even like bites her or whatever, and it's just like a mess.
And so then zag Alfanakas comes over and 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 a coyote watched documentary. Ever you didn't know
coyote? Oh my god, Hey everyone, I'm Katie, and I play
Crystal the draw Druid with her very own 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 says like the most off the wall things,
and the celebrity doesn't know what to do because they're trying to be nice,
but they don't know how to be nice 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 human fighter with a freshly minted dentistry decree.
Oh my gosh, Okay. Amen loves it when you put little costumes
on like dogs or catsies, you walk around like it never fails. It's
hilarious. Loves it. Hi am Tyler, 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 once again I am Alex Capps, your DM
or district manager. And as far as DMS go, one thing that will
always make me laugh no matter how many times I see it are the player's
attempts to level up. Hey, listeners. This show is made possible by

left off, Bentley got a new truck. Let's see, Oh god,
Oh, if you lose concentration, you're definitely going to be CALLI squatting it.
Oh god. No, Richard got taller temporarily momentarily Yeah, And Crystal
found out that there may be a third Crystal running around. No maybe,
I mean here, I thought it was just the second Crystal. I don't
know. It could be had was part of triplets. Like things have already
gone pear shaped for once, so like, wouldn't it be all it would
all be all that shocking if someone is 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 when people don't find it funny, that makes
it even better for us. All right, so we're going to pick up
the following morning. You guys all had a nice evening to figure out your
next move, and you awaken at the Crow's nest and find that all of
your downline has already woken up and before you and continued working trying to fill
orders. Okay, well manufacturing light at this point. Yeah, apparently Crystal's
secret last name is Ford. Yeah, apparently the assembly line in this world
she was. She was originally from Detoria. All right, so you guys
wake up and you find your worker bees diligently at it. What do you
do? I feel like I can't breathe, like all of those fumes of
just like soak into all of like textiles in here. You see one of
the humans looks and he goes, you get used to it? This solid
yesterday? Yeah, I'm going to go right back to the window that I
opened it apparently they shut, and I'm going to open it back up again.
I'm going to be like, you guys, don't have to do this
to yourself. I get that I work you guys to the bone. But
you don't have to do this to yourself. You can literally open and then
she's going to go figure out if they were able to utilize her adjustments to
the formulas to help make the orders easier to build. And so you go
and check and the person in charge of this particular line says, uh,
yeah, we made the adjustments just as you wrote down. And got to
say, not only are we is it easier to make it? Uh,
but we haven't had nearly as many negative reactions. What were those reactions?
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 guys comes up. He says, Miss Crystal,
I wanted to say thank you. Sure, he says, I I
never felt like my family would be able to be financially independent, but you
know it did require us leveraging all of our assets, like our house and
everything. But we we feel really confident and we believe in what you're trying
to do, and you should. You should believe in what I'm trying to
do because we are improving the world with productivity and we are making people's lives
easier and worn to I'm so glad is another room a tend of industry.
She's going to walk off. She's just like, she's like, she's used
to this, Like this is She's back where she will right, Crystal has
entered her villain arc. She she's entered her I say, she took a
stumble, but she's back to the Oh god, hey, Crystal. Not
that we've had a decent night of slave, but had some more time to
think about this. Did Montiac ever tell you, like who these customers are?
Now, that's a good question about who my customers are. Like,
I track my downline because that's where I make my money. Yeah, but
this one has made me very paranoid and suspicious, Like how do we know
that the customers aren't actually fake customers? Oh? I don't know. You
seem to be having some really good ideas, slately, So I'm gonna go
whatever you want to do. She's like, yes, frame Crystal, frame
frame the other Crystal, So yeah, sure, why not go for it?
Richard, let's find out who these people are. Okay, So I
guess that means we should probably talk to Montiac. That's some more information.
So you go knock on Montiac's door and you just hear snoring. I don't
think he's gonna I don't. He seems really tired. We should probably just
Taylor, you're do we want to scare him? He's done such a good
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, where do you what? It's the diesel version,
so he's got to go warm it up first before you can like really
fire it up and everything. He's out there the ritual. It's the truck's
there, but he's like checking the oil and checking the fluids and not a
Yeah, since there's a doppelganger around, should we take any precautions? Like
we have our bracelets, so we should be able to tell if another Crystal
comes by and she doesn't have a bracelet 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
that's there. It was in one piece. Trust, it was in one
piece. As I said, did it work? Yes, it works.
They managed to take down the Dopper game or dude, no problem A great,
okay, all right, so let's get to work that little Is that
in conjunction with the mind communication risk brand that cheat their duication have I think
one or both of those things will definitely work two factor authentication it is.
That's true because they could sneakingly steal a bracelet and we don't know it was
the doctor d have one. So so so I imagine out of earshot of
everybody else, I want to use the bracelet talk to Crystal and say,
Crystal, give me a code word. Just give me a code word and
remember it Claire no no, something that they won't be brilliance code word and
then that I'm glad they would never think of that word where like you know,
Rosebud Horrible Sensations or whatever it was called my code word to you,
Crystal, just in case. I don'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
know. I don't know. You can make it up, Crystal, Is
that's there? I used to having a lot more time to plan out product
launches. Okay, gosh, what was that? I don't know what that
was like? You don't know, drinking and driving promise? No, No,
that that's part. That's part of the original cast. You have to
open a cold Oh god, this is reminding me more and more of going
off writing. Yeah no, Crystal, if you remember my code word,
that might be enough. But I feel like you might be better for,
you know, you to tell me one that you made up. And this
is just me and Crystal conversation that I'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
get like a call waiting? And Taylor 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 hold or any on hold. So Taylor is
gonna be like, hey, we should probably have a code word. I'm
gonna get this is a completely original idea. That and your think where it's
gonna be xylophone. Richard is now also gonna call me incoming call from Richard
Cox hold on hold on Taylor. Okay, so when you put Taylor on
hold, it connects her to Amy m No, Hey, we should come
up with a code name. So when Richard connects with christ Hey, Bentley,
we should probably come up with a code word. You have the wrong
number. IM sorry about that, Crystal, Well, I guess yeah,
we probably also should come up with a 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
D. We should probably come up with a code He just hangs up all
the couses drop everyone once he left there on the line like it's just after
the chat that was that was that was that character that was just just that's
funny. Yeah, I couldn't help myself. Twenty minutes and we've made it.
What's everybody's word? All right, go to the witch. I say,
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 what it sounds like. But like it sounds
like one of those horns that like sounds too, like high pitched vehicle.
All right, so you guys need to do anything before you head out of
the city. I think we're good to go off roading. Okay, the
coolers packed. Wait, we have a moving, a freaking moving what's the
we're looking for? Tiny Lehman's tidy hut? 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 unbalanced player character or an overpowered magic item.
There's only bad dms. So can we leave a note for Captain Montiac so
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 up and pretends to be Crystal again, like
what the so? So Captain Montiac runs outside and he goes Crystal, Crystal,
maybe we should have some sort of code blood. She's like, that's
going to be just a bunch of words that could be code words. But
maybe we give him a set of security questions. My code word, but
like three things that they have to get right. Next, next icebreaker?
What is your safe word? I can't do that. We don't we have
an extra bracelet? I don't know make one? I think we I think
we had I had two. At one point it was like by Bentley has
too because he has the one that you gave him that was remembers. Yeah,
and also the extra one that you made. Okay, would you want
to give him one of those? Not really? I kind of like having
to. Why do you? Why do you need to? It makes me
feel special you you don't need bracelets to be spent Bentley, you already are.
How long would it take you to just make another one? Well,
we don't have the artificer with us. Shoot, that's right and now and
now Richard is sad. We have given Captain Okay, Captain Montiac looks and
says, I will cherish this for the 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, is this thing on? Excuse me? Hello?
Can you hear me? Yeah? We got you? Oh my god,
that is so weird. That's going to take some getting used to.
I'm used to to their only being my voices in my head, not other
people's voices. You can call someone specific. Don't kiss into the mic.
It makes amy Um uncomfortable, not as long as it's not all rook doing
it. Okay, Okay, So that'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, probably not. Okay, So to the witch
in the woods, right, we got all piled into this Toyota Tacoma.
Yes, on our way, I don't know. All right, let's see,
but we have to go the speed limit through town though. Are there
speed limit signs posted? I don't know, 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 of wherever we're at. I'm going to assume
thirty five poles per hours, I say, 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 moving through the town, I want you to
go ahead and make a cautious vehicle handling check. All right, So I
get a plus seven. Yeah, that is a three. Okay, so
you are able to cautiously drive around and 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 of other people who are just like just
another day in Levron. They're used to seeing kind of weird stuff. So
you make it outside of the city and before you you see you have about
I would say, about fifteen miles to your destination. So do you want
to try to speed up or do you want to continue going cautiously. Let's
try. I mean, we're not really in a hurry, right, so
I guess we could just go cautiously. All right, Grandma, you know
what I'm offended. We're going We're going 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 gonna call 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 handling it. Okay, go ahead and make
me another vehicle handling check fourteen plus numbers one. Okay. So you you're
going along and a cow runs right out in front of you. Guys,
what do you do the opposite direction of the cows? Okay? Me a
dex hold on, make me a dex 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 to rifto around the cow. What is
everybody else in the vehicle doing? Multi truck yelling? Yeah, reaching for
the ocean handle, but his arm is not long enough to quite reach it.
So he's like got his hand on the window and his other hand on
the seat. So as you as you're like reaching for the oce ship handle,
one magically appears right where your hand is. Perfect it's one hand on
the ocean handle. On the other hand is like gripping the side of his
seat. All right, so you reach down there by the seat and a
handle somehow is on the side of the seats like this. This is super
weird, but fuck it. All right. Taylor is also going to be
like, we should probably cross train on this vehicle, just in case that
is incapacitated. If I'm incapacitated, I don't think the vehicle still exists.
Yeah it doesn't. Yeah, so if you not. If I get knocked
out while driving it, it's just gonna oh my god, CPK from your
vehicle disappearing at seventy miles hour. What if we used it to launch ourselves
forward, Yeah, knock a choked Bentley out while we're mid air. New
rule, new rule, if we ever like jump into the air, Dixie
plays magically? Oh god, all right, well, I mean it's a
magic it's literally a magic well it's not a magic school bus, but it's
a magic car. You know what it should have been the magic school bus.
It just you guys, you're sitting there and it just morphs into the
magic school bus. So so Bentley with your with your roles, I would
say, you guys make it there. Not really much of a problem,
And you did get some weird looks while you were going through the countryside.
But as you approach, you see the GPS is telling you where you need
to go. As you approach, you see a fire burning out near the
main road. No need to take this offline. Overworked and underplayed. We'll
circle back after these messages. And as you get closer, you spot what
appear to be humanoid creatures crawling all over the shack identified as the witch's house.
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 eat anything, especially if it something looks delicious.
If it looks not DELI just don't need that. Also, I guess
don't take candy for strangers. Yes, all right? And are any of
the windows rolled down or are they rolled up? I mean, I guess
it depends on what the party wanted to do. I mean, the driver's
side window is obviously going to be down. It's gotta Bentley learned young that
it's great to have the air conditioning blowing full blast. And you guys are
you guys are experiencing air conditioning for the first time in months to get out
of the car. Yeah, the car. As you guys pull up at
the house, Bentley, you would hear the distinct sound of goblins chattering while
they were surrounding the house with burning torches. I need I need everyone to
roll initiative. I mean got a hen 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.
Okay, Bentley got a fourteen? All right, at the top of the
order, it is Crystal. So Crystal, you said you were in the
You were in the like very back in the camper. So you as you
guys are pulling up, you're sitting there just kind of chilling, and Bentley
slammed on the brakes kind of hard, and you came off your chair and
you look out the window, like why are we stopping? And you see
the goblins, you said, what appeared 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 my I need her stop, okay, make
me a Are you trying to persuade them or are you trying to intimidate them?
Hmmm, persuade? Okay, make me a persuasion role, she says,
like I was a questioning it is fifteen. Okay, I'll see.
So you see as one of the goblins, like the goblins kind of stop
what they're doing for a second, and they kind of look at each other,
and you see one of them like shrugs 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 that it? Yep? I do. I'm
going to cast wind. Oh okay, yeah, that's what I want to.
So they take three D eight damage if I hit them, So I
do. Now each that is, each creature in the area must make a
strength saving throw. So what you I'm going to Since you're looking closer,
I'm going to go ahead and give you a better description. So you see
what appear to be six goblins with weapons. You see one goblin with a
staff and like a skull helmet, and then you see one thing that kind
of looks like a goblin, but he'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
raiders. You see three of them just 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 just kind of dig their feet in and they
both look at you, and and the one with the skull helmet starts yelling
things in goblin. And you see as all the goblins are now pointed at
your direction. Hey, guys, all right, and that takes us,
that takes us to Bentley. Bentley is gonna be like, well, let's
see what this can do. Where's oh god, where's the biggest group of
goblins? So that would be the three goblin raiders all Bentley's just gonna floor
it and try to drive into the three cobblin reader. Okay, so for
that, let me pull this back up. Okay, So what speed are
you going to try to do this in? Uh, just just gonna floor
it, try to do it full speed. Okay. So you came to
a stop, so you can go up one speed per turn. So that's
going to be stand So I and this 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 see if you can hit them. You said
that was a plus sevens, Yes, thirteen and nineteen, So thirteen Jesus
Christ. Okay. So so you definitely hit the group of goblin raiders.
Okay, so you deal you deal about twenty two damage. Two damage.
It's disappinting. No twenty two damage. Oh, twenty two damage each of
these goblins that basically pop like balloons as you run into them. Now,
I need you to make a dexterity safe 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 through the goblins, at which point he sees
that the health gauge of his truck went to about three quarters of a tank,
and then he barrels almost full speed into 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 wearing their seat belt? Everyone's seat belt did
not put the didn't be driving if people didn't have their seat belt, though,
it's a rule buckle up or click it or ticket. I want to
say so at this point, because we didn't know that. I want to
say that Amy I kind of did it to like show that she was doing
it, but not really. It was like across her, but not like
plugged in. Oh my god, what the wait? Amy Ann doesn't wear
her seat belt? That is That is what I'm here for, is the
new lore? Okay, So I need everyone to make a we'll call it
a constitution saving throw to see how bad you're hurt by this running into this
wall at thirty miles an hour? Oh what's the walls? Hbuh? Not
much said constitution saving through yes is yeah, Crystal Crystal. I thought Crystal
made the dumbest decision of everybody by getting out of the truck so far away.
But what Crystal sees and she got out, nuked three goblins and it's
slammed into a building. So considering you were in the back surrounded by god
knows what with no seat belt, you've made the best decision you possibly could
have. Okay, so what did you 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
back to that. Amy An, what did you roll? Twenty three?
Two? Three? Okay? Did you roll? I'm sorry? Did you
roll with disadvantage? Since you're not wearing your seat belt? Was I supposed
to? I'm sorry. I meant to tell you that beforehand. I'm not
just trying to let me try it. Oh well, twenty two all right,
so somehow you just managed to brace just 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
everyone passes except for Richard, which is unfortunate. Everyone. So the truck
took a total of forty four damage the truck. After this, the truck
will be gone. It would disappear until Bentley casts the spell again. So
you are Richard, You're going to take twenty damage from like basically going through
the seat belt and bouncing off of the dashboard. Everyone else, I have
a question. Everyone else is going to take ten damage. Oh, but
in the truck had disappeared as soon as it hit, So you really would
have just said face versus of the house. Either way. Either way,
you're all taking some damage on that one. I had known that he was
such a shitty driver. He's been drinking 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've killed so far? The six? You've
killed six goblin raiders? All right, Richard, it is now your turn.
As you are. You're also all prone 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 many people are left alive? So you see
one horrified looking goblin with a skull helmet, and you see another like really
big goblin, like like bigger than Bentley. We didn't even ask them what
they were doing? Yeah, Richard also was thinking that two people went ahead
of him in line were doing okay, okay, So how how far how
far away are the two things like the skullhead guy and the giant horns?
So they are like ten feet away from you for me, and how far
away from each other? So I would 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 would be very unfortuate. No, No,
I'm gonna go ahead and tell you she's not a goblin. Although now thinking
about it, that would have been really funny. Oh it's a goblin,
we gotta kill it. No, that was the That was this. Yeah,
and this is fallout rules, so there is no TAKESI back seats.
Well in that case, he's like, well, I hope you're looking at
this, and he like points his finger at like in between the two goblins.
I like squints his eye over his monocle focus and he cast shatter.
Oh god, you guys went for the smoke him if you got him method
of combat I forgot. It's not like the truck costs a smell, slaughter
or anything. Yeah. Okay, so they need to make a con saving
throw. Okay, constitution saving throw for each of them seventeen Jesus Christ.
Okay, so one of them got an 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 and he just kind of so the other one.
You see him hold up his staff and he kind of deflects the magic
away. The other one, the British one, just takes a full on
blast from the thunder damage. So go ahead and give me damage roll twelve,
all right. So he takes twelve damage and he's gonna have the club
that he was holding basically shatter into a million pieces. He's got splinters now
and uh, you see as he looks at you and he goes, you
guys started it. Yeah, okay, So now it is Amy Ann you
are on the ground, is going to take his movement to stand up.
Okay, so I'm gonna I assumed you 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
is past is basically laid out in the 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
had PTSD flashbacks from last time. What are you talking about this? Because
Crystal fucking attacked them first. I just want you to know that Crystal was
threatened. She did not. She was like passed off, and he was
like, I'm gonna do the opposite of that, and she was like,
never mind. I think it'd be even funnier if Crystal did it by accident,
Like she's still not that great with her 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?
So I'll pull myself up, my gosh, geez, spit out some leaves
or whatever it was on the ground, and a stand up, dust myself
off a little bit. And how far 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 the front door. But you just made
a new door, okay, as part of her house is collapsed now where
you lay into it? Can I look in and see and holler? Hello?
Are you okay? Sorry about that? Hello? So there is no
answer? Oh, Okay, am I How far where am I from?
The two standing goblins? So you're about ten feet ten feet? Okay?
All right, so as I see and there's nobody in there, like I'm
going to turn around and kind of run 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 the one with the skull hat or do you
want the one that looks like a big brute guy. Let's see here,
Let's do the one with the skull hat, because I think I'm intuiting that
he is like the more likely to communicate. Okay, so you're trying to
go put him in a headlock? Yes, all right, so go go
make an attack roll okay, all right, that is nineteen okay, So
you come up on him and that turns into a crit or twenty turns into
a kryt. Yeah, oh okay, well you definitely. So he tries
to slip slip your grip, but you tighten up just enough and he's like
you just hear him, like he stops, 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, oh shit, all right? Is this?
So how tall is the goblin? Like three feet? Yeah? Okay,
So I feel like once I got him like in a good choke hold
like this, I just stand up and I'm holding them like that. All
right, So we'll come back to that. Yeah, yeah, all right.
So is anyone else? Oh okay, No, So now it's their
turn. So first thing that's going to happen is the what you would now.
Well, I don't know if this would mean anything to your characters,
but the bugbear brute charges right for Richard, and he is going to use
his charge feature and attack Richard twice. Oh no, Richard? Why Richard
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 wildly at you and you just barely dodge it.
But then the like as you're getting excited that you'd dodge the attack,
he just sucker punches you right in the face. Uh and uh. He's
using the shards of wood that are that are stuck in his hand from where
you blew up his club. That sounds right, so you are going to
take d M is there? Did he walk by Amy Ann to go to
not close enough to you? Okay? So Richard, you are going to
take nine points of damage right to the 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 goblin shaman, he is going to he's going
to say wait, wait, wait, wait, and he's gonna like he's
going to touch your arm like he's tapping out. Yeah, and must see
does a nineteen hit just barely? Yes? It hits? Oh I got
I have to ask in film, I know as you take let's see.
Oh so it did. So he had disadvantage with that attack, right because
he's grappled. I'll reroll with disadvantage. Okay. I also didn't do any
damage on him. I didn't roll damage. Okay, Well, I mean
that's up to you. It depends on what you're trying to do. Does
an eighteen hit it does? Yes? Okay, so you take serious.
You take eighteen points of necrotic damage as 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 trying to murder Richard's face, and then there
is the one with the skull hat that amy Ann has grappled. Okay,
So Taylor sees the big old one eating Richard's face song, and she's gonna
go into her rage because nobody fused with Richard, and she's gonna take out
her great sword and try and hit him 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 the first time? Yeah? Yeah, you
have two attacks with an attack action at level five, she's gonna try again.
Yay. Okay, so that's a dirty twenty all right, that will
hit. Let's see seven plus five so twelve. How do you want to
do this? Oh, she already feels guilty, So just like quick like
stab them through the heart. Probably. So Richard, you just took this,
You just took this hit right to the face and you look up and
it roars at you, and about the time it's roar ends, you just
see Taylor Jacob's sword pierce right through its chest and just spray you with blood.
And uh, my mouth was open, all right. So then we
come uh, then we come back up to the top with Crystal. Crystal,
you just watched all this happen from a distance. Got one right or
is it all dead? So so Crystal, what I'm gonna say is,
this is what happened. You. You got hit with like pebbles and a
cloud of dust from Bentley just burying the throttle. And as the dust clears,
like you heard all this happen, and as the dust clears, you
just see Bentley laid out. You see 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. What do you do? Wow, I'm really
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 not we utilize this mode of transportation. Ever
again, you can walk, I can, 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 that will like knock them out without killing
them, because that's kind of my or you know what, how about So
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 am in the single digits. Yeah, So
I'm going to cast healing word on Richard, which will be at the second
level. So it's two D four plus four, so you get ten points
of walk it off Richard, walk it off that Hey, Crystal, is
that all you're gonna do? There's nothing close to me? Do you want
to do you want to get closer to the party? Yes? I do.
Yeah, I do want to get a little closer. Alex is gonna
dragon us. No, I'm not trying 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 you wouldn't be able to see anything from that
distance, like as you're getting closer. You look and you're like, there's
not really any good windows to peek in or anything. You guys, hear
a voice from behind you that says, what the hell happened to my house?
