Hey there everybody. You got a short sword? That's fun. Don't worry about it. Listen, nothing wrong with a short sword. You got a long sword? Don't fucking brag. If you want to get a bigger sword, that's a problem. Be happy with what you got. If you have a too big a sword, take this pill. It'll make you have a short sword. And nobody loves a sword more than a short sword because it's just right. Doesn't poke too far into the wound, goes just far enough. And believe me, some people are like, oh, that's too deep. Not with a short sword, they're like, mm, you're killing me just right. So what I'm saying, sign up for these bunker pistols. Shortswords.com.
SPEAKER_05Welcome back, guys. Tyler, take it away. Hey everybody. Shane, what's going on?
SPEAKER_06Uh happy pride, everybody.
SPEAKER_05Mark, what you got? Nothing. I'm just mental health as well. That's good. So just put them together. Awesome. We are comedy and dice. We are a comedy and dice podcast. I am Grant Janik. I am your DM. DM, of course, stands for Dank Memes, and it also stands for Dungeon Master. I am the world. And as always, I am joined by my lovely, lovely, lovely friends. The first one to my left is I'm left. John Wick. I uh am a dog. I'm uh I was a regular dog, uh, and now I'm an Irish setter. And um you you know the story. You should be on board by now. Don't start on this one.
SPEAKER_06Uh and I am joined and accompanied by one of my favorite people of all time, to my left. Hey, I'm Ranger Danger. Uh, I'm a half-elf Ranger who just likes to have fun, but now he likes to have fun with his friends because he's had a little change of heart. He's starting to soften, and I'm sitting with them all now.
SPEAKER_01To my left, another one of those friends is to my right, played by Shane Smith. Shane Smith is my name. To my left.
SPEAKER_02No, I love it because you said I am Ranger Danger. Oh, yeah. You didn't even let Shane Smith enter the conversation.
SPEAKER_06Oh, no, no, no, no. And we've had that conversation. I am who I my character is. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And my name is Tyler Wood, and I play AI, the half. He's not half anything. He's one, he's half for a cockra, and so's the other half. He's half masked, right? He is half masked, he's ready to go because there's a fight of brewing.
SPEAKER_01He is uh an era cochra barbarian, and he is gonna learn to like it. He has barbarian traits, and this episode we're gonna be fighting. I I it threw me off that you started, Grant. Uh, but I think it's a good thing because we need to adjust, we need to learn to overcome, and I think with this combat heavy episode, we're gonna need to improvise a little bit.
SPEAKER_05Yes, yes, and that brings us to the recap. So, last episode, like I always say, big episode, but this time actually big episode, because you are currently enthralled in a battle between a 12-foot-tall Gorgon. Ooh. See, what happened before is you guys are stranded in the desert of Dunkel Sprout, where it used to be fun and cutesy, but now it's more mad-maxified. You have been given a map in your little dune buggy, and you have made it to the second stop. So the first stop was the gas station that you blew up. The second stop was this oasis where you found that there was some illusionary magic. British musicians.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05Fucking uh part of the gorillas. Is that the guy?
SPEAKER_06Oh, yeah, I think so.
SPEAKER_05Sure. And uh very important was you also found the mare. Yes. I said that very qu slowly so I could get that R in there. Yeah, you said Are you serious?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, let him go. Okay, let him go.
SPEAKER_05You found the small horse who was in uh you found the the mirror of Dunkel Sprout who has the key to escape. He was twirling it around his neck. Shane did this awesome and incredible move to land right on top of his neck in the center of this lake, and right as he landed it, the illusion magic dissipated, and off to the side of the lake, the mirror, mirror cartoon is sitting in his 18-wheeler big rig, twiddling the key around his finger. And the mermaid that was in the center of the lake that was calling you in has sprung up into a 12-foot-tall gorgon named Zola. Gorgon. Yes. Uh oh. So with that. That was like Zola Gorgon. Weird. May I make a few retractions? Sure. A few mid-episode retractions. First of all, it's blur, uh, not Oasis, my fault. Oh, yes, blur. Wrong British. Hey man, nice shot. No, that's uh deer tick, is it not?
SPEAKER_06No, it's blur. Blur?
SPEAKER_05I just know blur has uh song two. I think it's Stone Temple Pilots. Oh, wait, that's Filter. Never mind. Filter Hey man, we're we're wrong about being wrong.
SPEAKER_01Um also uh can I get a definition check on enthralled or enthralled in this battle?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, you are loving the way this battle looks.
SPEAKER_06Are we sure it's a gorgon?
SPEAKER_05Yes.
SPEAKER_06Uh it's a it's just a bull?
SPEAKER_05It is a gorgon. DD Gorgons look like bulls, but Grant Gorgons look like gorgons the way they're supposed to. I'm not looking Grant Gorgons.
SPEAKER_06Gorgons. Googling Grant Gorgon now. Grants love Gorgon. Oh, there's literally something called a Grant Gorgon? I'm still seeing this. There is. I didn't know that this was the case. That's hilarious.
unknownOh.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Oh it's Medusa.
SPEAKER_03Okay. What?
SPEAKER_06But I don't think that's what you think are it. We're playing a bunch of guys on LinkedIn.
SPEAKER_05Grant Gordon.
SPEAKER_06What is just a Gorgon?
SPEAKER_05Yeah. You're fighting, you're basically fighting a Gorgon, which is Medusa.
SPEAKER_06Oh, it is Medusa. Okay, yeah, yeah. Yep. Interesting. So a Grant.
SPEAKER_05Did you make this?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, well, he must have.
unknownMe?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, in your Midnight Dimension wiki, you weirdo.
SPEAKER_05No, I did not. So with that, Ranger, you are currently in the middle of this pond. Good thing you hit that D20, huh? That's right, because there is uh an island in the middle, correct? There's a little island in the middle where she was coiled up on, but now she is fully erect. Standing at 12 feet tall, and she's just looking at you. Sounds like an intro to like a boxing badge.
SPEAKER_01To my left, standing 12 feet tall. Gorgon Zola!
SPEAKER_06So, quick question. Is Gorgon, if I look at Gorgon, will I turn to Stone? Zola's the name. Yes. Okay. If I look at Zola, will I turn to stone? Is that how this Gorgon works? So I guess there's only one way to find out.
SPEAKER_05I'm not doing it. She. I feel like we have to roll to see if we looked. Yeah, I'm gonna make you guys roll for that. Let's get some early rolls out of the way.
SPEAKER_06Because I feel like I'm gonna be looking from like bottom to top if she's real tall. And I might be focusing on other things on the way up.
SPEAKER_05I'm gonna say everybody make a constitution saving throw. Okay. That's the one labeled con. Yes. Oh, am I doing it? First, first time, Mark. Fifteen. Ooh. Thirteen. Seventeen. Okay. All of you managed to evade her gaze. Thank God. Oh. Prime month.
SPEAKER_06Yep.
SPEAKER_05Now, what all three of you notice because you were able to evade her gaze is that around you it's gone very dark. Except for like the lights from the big rig, because Cartoon has the engine running. And then also you see two piercing lights coming from the top of her erectness. So you're assuming that to be her eyes. So you could see that they are slowly turning. Like a lighthouse. Like a lighthouse, yes. Okay. This is the best. She is literally a lighthouse in the middle of this Oasis. Oasis. That's good. She is currently a lighthouse in the middle of this oasis. And as you see the sweeping lights go in this circle, a little fish is swimming in the pond. As the lights go over the fish, the fish freezes and turns to stone and then starts to slowly sink into the bottom of the lake to where you cannot see it anymore.
SPEAKER_06Okay, okay. How good is her hearing?
SPEAKER_05I don't know.
SPEAKER_03I'm like, hey guys, hey guys. Hey guys. I think she sees you. You think? I think yeah.
SPEAKER_06You think?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I think you just killed uh the the the the mirage.
SPEAKER_05I think she was aware of that.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, but I mean I gotta stay out of her eyes. Maybe she doesn't have good hearing. You know, I can run around her body faster than she can turn her body. You know?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, she evolved wrong.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, yeah. She went up instead of out. Uh how far away are they from me?
SPEAKER_05I would say she's about 40 or 50 feet. You're in the middle of But they're outside of that, right? They're outside of that. So you're for simplicity's sake, we'll say you're smack dab in the middle of this donut oasis. Okay. 50 feet to the center aisle. Okay. Is this aisle? Oh, you mean Isaac? Where she's where she's at, yeah. Uh it's 50 feet in either direction.
SPEAKER_06Okay. Uh so we can't you can't whisper and we hear you. Okay, you're right. So I'm just whispering to myself. Okay, you know what I'd like to do? I would like to cast a fog cloud so I can uh it kind of s swim away.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_06So can I do that?
SPEAKER_05You can, yes. Uh what does fog cloud say?
SPEAKER_06It says 120 feet circle. Okay. What does it do? Uh it says 20-foot radiosphere is fog, uh, it's heavily obscured, lasts for a duration until a strong wind or a gust of wind disperses it.
SPEAKER_05Okay. So you cast fog and you create this cloud. It does go over. Since this is a circle, where are you? It's in a circle. Where are you fixating the center point for this fog?
SPEAKER_06Uh I'm okay, so I'm trying to get as close to the water and then you're well, you're in it. I'm in the water, I'm not on the island.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, because you landed on Cartoon and now you're in the water. You're fighting.
SPEAKER_06I thought I was in the okay. So basically I just want to uh cast it where I am and then just swim away from Zola so I can get to the shoreline. Because basically she wouldn't be able to see me through the fog. Was Cartoon not on the island? See, that's what I thought Cartoon was on the island.
SPEAKER_05He was an illusion that Shane jumped on. I'm with you. When you when the illusion dissipated, his big rig, which was off the island, you thought was empty. He's sitting in the cab twirling the key. I'm with you. Where was his illusion when Shane snapped it? Was swimming towards the mermaid.
SPEAKER_06So basically I just want to cast it where I'm at and then swim away straight away from the other side.
SPEAKER_05Your area and a little bit of the area before like some of the beach part to this donut will be covered, but on the other side of the circle, some of the water is gonna be exposed.
SPEAKER_06Sure, but she can't see that far, can she?
SPEAKER_05Um it doesn't matter because there's nothing over there. Through the fog. So you successfully create the fog. Yeah. So you see as the spell is cast, the lighthouse's gaze zooms over to the fog, and she is going to try to see through it. She uh Damn, I'm dead. Uh her her eyes zoom towards the fog, and as they glaze towards the water, the fog manages to reflect against the water in just the right way, to where one of her two eyes that are gleaming, it gets reflected back, and she is now blind in one eye as that eye has turned to stone.
SPEAKER_06Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_05So only one eye is currently working because she crit failed. Hell yeah. So your cone of like visibility that she has is lessened. No, it's by half. Yes.
SPEAKER_06Hell yeah. You see that, guys? See that? Someone said, Oh, yeah. All right, I'm so I'm gonna swim quiet. Uh, and I try to swim, uh, I do a little uh swimming under the water diving just so like uh like what they do at the Olympics when they kick off? The the yeah, breaststroke. So sometimes I'm underwater.
SPEAKER_05Wait, are you are you doing the breathstroke? The breaststroke? Are you doing the breaststroke? You're doing the breathstroke?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, yeah. Is that okay?
SPEAKER_02The breaststroke isn't that. Breaststroke is on top of the water.
SPEAKER_06Yes. Do you Oh yeah, yeah. What's the what it that's what's doing the wiggle. You're doing the wiggle wiggle.
SPEAKER_05Whatever I'm doing where I'm going and I'm going under and the breathstroke is like, aside from butterfly, the loudest function you can do. You're saying breathstroke. It's breathstroke.
SPEAKER_06No, it's breaststroke. What? Breast, like like a lady. Yeah, because you're using your breasts. Breath stroke. Oh, it's breaststroke. Oh man.
SPEAKER_05How much shit are you confidently wrong about? I'm sorry. If I you see my tubby tummy, I don't need to swim. I float. I'm buoyant. I'm also trying to figure out how uh when you're looking at something, you're you're you glaze over it. Hey, your eyes glaze over it. That's a saying. No, yeah, not in that way. They glaze over it.
SPEAKER_02No, not that either.
SPEAKER_06Oh my goodness. Guys, back me up. Don't get quiet now. No, no, but it's Pride Month. I don't want to ruin his. We all just we shared a look when he said it. We did. Don't act like we all didn't look.
SPEAKER_02We did. We all glazed at each other. When your eyes glaze over, it's like what happens during this podcast. When somebody's speaking, your eyes become vacant and you're you're no longer there.
SPEAKER_05That's what eyes glazing over is. Yeah, but not in my world. Oh, that's why this is bullshit. It's great. It's wonderful. So you do the water wiggle.
SPEAKER_06Real quick, you know what's crazy? Uh I bet Jessica's name isn't even Jessica. He's been saying it wrong this whole time. She's probably Jessica. He has not corrected her. Uh, I'm realizing this now. Okay, anyway.
SPEAKER_05His name isn't even Graham. No, it's not. No, it's Graham, but uh so you do the water wiggle. I am going to have you roll a dexterity saving throw, but roll it with advantage because you have the fog to cover you.
SPEAKER_06Okay, first was 15. Second two.
SPEAKER_05Okay, so with a 15, I will say you manage to successfully make it back to the shore. I want to know while you're doing this, so you're currently swimming. Uh AI and John, do you guys have anything that you want to do? I am going to shape shift into uh can I A. You want to do a big rig like your fucking property? A uh Gorgon. Ooh.
SPEAKER_01Oh, ooh. Grant looks like he shit himself. But not in like a I'm scared way. More of like, I can't believe I have to deal with this right now.
SPEAKER_06Are you gonna ask her out on a date and then take her somewhere? And then she'll be done.
SPEAKER_05You do this for the sake of this podcast, I'm going to say yes. However, because this is like a very complicated creature, you would only be able to shape shift into one more animal aside from the gorgon in this story. Okay. So in this chapter. I was thinking, I mean, yes, I was going to Yeah. You would also be thinking my original plan was to go into a Gorgon, the bull. So oh, um, but I would like to, but then I was thinking about if I could, and then I was letting him answer if I could. So I'm gonna go for it, and I can only do one more thing, right? In per per chapter. Yeah. Like in this chapter, you can only shift into one more animal plus this. But I will say that you currently are a Gorgon. Nice. And I am going to send you to health. The stat block that you can use, right? Uh instead of hooves, you just that's gonna be called claws.
SPEAKER_06Isn't that what you asked to be?
SPEAKER_05Uh so this is the stat block I'm using. Uh I thought you were, I thought I was gonna be the You are that. You So not the bull. Not the bull. You're not the bull. This is just the stat block that I'm using. Oh, gotcha. Okay, okay. So you are a true Gorgon, like Medusa Gordon. Gork. Medusa Gordon. Okay. Uh and um I stare at her. Does that work? You just staring? Well, I mean, I've had two working eyes and she has one. This game recognized game. So I I go, hey, bitch! Okay. I'm going, um uh. No. Um yeah, you know what? I fucking don't like this. Okay. I don't like this. I'm gonna I'm I'm going back. I'm going to double down on my my bull. I'm going back to the bull. Okay. Cut that. It's just it's too like I'm them, and then I get an equal thing, and I don't fucking like them.
SPEAKER_06And is this uh and this what you're saying now is lulling this creature to sleep? You talking about how it's okay.
SPEAKER_05Here's my action. I change into a gorgon bull. Okay. Okay, so a true DD Gorgon. Nice, okay. That's right. All right. I'm gonna say I am gonna allow it. Yes. However, in this chapter, you're only going to be able to shift into one more additional animal. Okay. So it's not gonna be like where we can have you free switch. This is a you get you get one and then you get another animal, and it can't be like a extreme animal either. It could be it's like a normal fucking animal.
SPEAKER_01Uh MX MXP, most extreme primate. No monkey doing skateboard shit. Yeah. Right.
SPEAKER_05Well, no, no, that we'll cut that. We'll get like that. That's a freebie. You can you can always be cool as hell monkey. Yeah, I can do tricks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You come with the skateboard too. So sick. Write that down. So um the the the the your Gorgon has he's swimming, it blinded an eye. The vision, the light now is smaller, correct? Zola's light is smaller, yes. Zola, that's right. Yes. Uh how could I forget her name? Uh, is there anything around, is it where's the light now? Is it is she like, oh, I'm blinded. I'm looking around instantaneously or darting in the fog, because that is the most recent thing that happened. So I would say if she's not doing like a little like look up and blank thing, like I got something in my eyes.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, she's like, Can you guys think it's an eyelash?
SPEAKER_05Oh my god, it's is it stone? Tell me it's not stone. Well, her eye is stone. So currently it's just one beam into the fog searching for Ranger who is no longer there. Okay. But the fog still is. Is there anything near me? Is there is there something to hide behind or um I would say the only thing to hide behind would be the 18 wheeler. That's not really near you. You'll have to run towards it. I mean, it's about like maybe 60 feet in the opposite direction of the lake from where you're at. Oh, opposite direction. So I would have to go through Gorgon to Um think about it like you're six o'clock. The wheeler is ten o'clock, and she is three o'clock. Oh, okay. All right. I think I'm going to I'm gonna charge the wheeler. Okay. So you have about sixty. What's your movement? Speed. You can get 40 feet, but you can dash to charge. Ooh, okay. Yeah, you can make it there. Okay. Um, okay. Go ahead and roll a strength attack roll. Mm-hmm. Well, I guess I'd be just using a regular. You're using it, but you're using your Gorgon stat block, so you're gonna add plus five to whatever this is. It's an infinity. Nice. It's an eight. An eight, so thirteen. I will say, because you're dashing, you do I think. Thank you, thank you. Uh, as you are handsoming down the sand.
SPEAKER_01That sounds like something you just say. Honestly.
SPEAKER_06We were just like, oh no, he did it again. Uh I am trying here. You're great.
SPEAKER_05As you are galloping down, you see that the 18 wheeler slowly starts to peel off because that's how 18 wheelers work. They can't peel away. They have to gain speed. So you manage to make it. However, you are currently at the 18 wheeler. You just kind of run into the side of it. No real damage to you, no real damage to the 18 wheeler. But Cartoon is furiously trying to get it to go. So he's shifting into all the gears because there's like a bunch of gears in a takes a while to speed up. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01There's many, many gears in an 18-wheeler.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. So he's currently shifting through all of them.
SPEAKER_06So he's got a short way to go, and it's taken him a long time to get there. Is he loaded? Yeah, it's the 18-wheeler loaded. Yeah, that should make it easier for him.
SPEAKER_05The trailer behind it is closed. Oh, there is a trailer. That's good. That means that it's moving that little bit slower than if it was by itself. Yeah. You don't know if it's empty, but it has like the rectangle on it. Okay. Yeah, just a trailer. Yep. I gotcha. Okay. Yes. Um the trailer? It has the shape. Yes. Uh cool. Okay. That's my turn. All right. Uh while that is happening as he starts to run towards it, I am also I'm also going to run towards the 18-wheeler. And do I have the time to get there? You might want to fly. Right? I'm dashing. I'm hot. I'm hot as hell. Movement speed. My movement speed. Actually, before we even get into that, what's the movement speed of the 18 wheeler? It's gonna be changing every round.
SPEAKER_01That's true. But to start, it's extremely slow, right?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, it's a it moves about like five feet. Okay, only five feet. It's currently 60 feet away from you, though. 60 feet away, but it takes so long for it to get going. Like 18 wheelers, like it. You've seen have you seen them from a dead stop? Are you dashing? I am pulling up YouTube videos of 18 wheelers driving to show you how slow they are. I know that's your autism. I know that.
SPEAKER_01You want to see how to safely complete a right turn and semi truck. I prove my point. So my movement speed is 25 feet walking, but I am flying as fast as I can.
SPEAKER_05Can you click that for me? Sure can. Flying 50 feet. Ooh, see you were there. Yeah, I'm close. With you dashing, you can make it, you just can't attack it, but you can make it there. Dashing because dashing is an action.
SPEAKER_01So I would make it to the truck.
SPEAKER_05Yes.
SPEAKER_01If I were dashing.
SPEAKER_05And that's your action. That's my movement and your action.
SPEAKER_01That's my movement and my action. But I would like to concurrently, if I may make a deal with the devil sitting next to me. Hello. I would like to have my arm outstretched. And as I get to the truck, I'm swooping the side of it, and I want to grab the mirror.
SPEAKER_05That's correct. That's what I was gonna do. Off the side of the truck. Like the side view. Yeah. The side view mirror, yes. Okay. It would be the right one. It would be the right side view mirror.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it's headed that way.
SPEAKER_05It's heading that way. Yes. It's heading towards 12 o'clock. It's appealing to head towards 12 o'clock.
SPEAKER_01So we're on the passenger side.
SPEAKER_05Yes. Okay. Alright. That's fine. I'll let you do that. Um This would only work with a left side mirror. Yeah. I know. I was thinking that. I will let you rip it off. Okay. Make a strength check. Yeah. Okay. Strength check is. Ooh.
SPEAKER_01Uh, is 19 plus 3 enough?
SPEAKER_05Uh yeah. You you fucking rip this thing out. Perfect. And now it is going to be Zola's turn. She's still blinded in her one eye. She is looking around for her like in the fog. And what she's going to do is she is going to make the light disappear as she reels her head back. And then she is going to intensely stare into the fog. And a beam of light shoots out from it into the fog. And as it does that, you see the green gas dissipate from where it hit the water. And the original fog dissipates with this green gas as it smokes and starts heading up towards the air. And it dissipates to where there's no fog left, and there's no gas left, but she's blinking, looking at it, and realizing that no uh like nothing was there. So she just used a move, but she realizes nothing is there. So now she's looking around to try to find you guys. However, that is just her turn. So it's going to go now back to Shane.
SPEAKER_06Okay. Uh how far am I from Tyler currently?
SPEAKER_05So from AI. 30 feet, I would say. You're about 30 feet away. Because they're both at the truck now. Okay. And the truck was 60 feet away from them.
SPEAKER_06So can if his turn's done, can he do anything if I say throw me a mirror? Can he do that or can he not do that? He can do that on his turn. Oh, so we'd have to wait. Okay.
SPEAKER_05Well, yeah, you should say, throw me a mirror. Because they were doing they were doing this while you were swimming.
SPEAKER_01Okay, next round, I got you. This is my action. Fucking dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Also, I'd be remiss. We we go we give Grant a lot of shit. How are you saying mirror?
SPEAKER_06Mirror. Is that wrong? Is that mirror? Am I saying it wrong? Not as bad as Grant does. So how do you say it? Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Oh, I was taking an R out. Yeah. Interesting. Uh mirror. Mirror. See, I'm mirror cat.
SPEAKER_02Mirror cat. Yeah. See, you say throw me a mirror, and I'm like.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, what is that?
SPEAKER_07Does pop up.
SPEAKER_06Mirror. Okay. So. Okay.
SPEAKER_02What did you do?
SPEAKER_05Um I gotta I'm just thinking of stuff real late. Mark just Googled.

SPEAKER_00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_02You don't need to you don't need to say if it'll be a surprise.
SPEAKER_06I thought you were Googling uh what just the question? Just like if a mirror is reflective.
SPEAKER_07And I was like, God reflect.
SPEAKER_05I was like, oh my god. Did you know? I may have said this on pop before.
SPEAKER_01They're green. I had the fucking tab open from the last time we recorded. They're technically green. Yes. Asked and answered. Cloaca's, we got it.
SPEAKER_05That is the one time I've been right on this podcast. I will.
SPEAKER_06Nice. Okay, sorry, I'm just looking through my shit to see what I have. Um and how far am I from uh Zola?
SPEAKER_05Zola? You are now. It was 50 feet. You're about a hundred feet away from me.
SPEAKER_06100 feet. Uh, and I forget what weapons do we have? Anything? You have what you have on your jeep. Okay, okay. Um I would like to uh and what what's the is that a sandy beach around the water? It's sand. You're in a desert. Okay, okay, okay. Uh how fine is the sand? Are there varying grades of sand?
SPEAKER_05Yes. A, B.
SPEAKER_06Nice. Nice. Okay, so I would like to uh pull out my uh short sword. Sure. And uh I would like to start uh taking sand, uh thicker, heavy bigger sand first, and start scraping my sword. And then I want to go slowly, slowly finer and finer until my sword has a mirror finish. Mirror finish.
SPEAKER_05Okay. Um do you have any do you have any tools that can help you with this? Tell me what's in your watch.

SPEAKER_05Okay, so you're having to do this with your hands.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. What what were you thinking?
SPEAKER_05Well, no, I might have. I wanted to see it. I was gonna give you advantage if you had anything to use. No. So you're literally just taking sand and rubbing it on your sword.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, just rubbing it really fast.
SPEAKER_05Make a I'm gonna say this, you get to choose. Okay. This is either gonna be survival, sleight of hand, or um we're gonna say survival, sleight of hand, or nature, because it's sand.
SPEAKER_06Okay, I'm gonna do survival.
SPEAKER_05Okay. Make it with disadvantage, though, because Okay. You could just scuff up your sword.
SPEAKER_06Okay, first one was a nine. Okay. Second one, twenty-four.
SPEAKER_05Okay, so with a nine, goddamn, you have scuffed up your sword to where there's just a bunch of scratches on it. Oh man. However, you do not take any damage from the the grit.
SPEAKER_06Okay, good.
SPEAKER_05And your sword does not take any damage.
SPEAKER_06Okay, good, good. So that was just a waste of time. I would like to yell, hey, bitch. And then the end of my turn.
SPEAKER_05Okay, uh, you yell, hey, bitch, and Zola's eye goes away from the green fog where she shot her laser and looks at you. And you feel the like yellow piercing glow start to encapsulate your body. However, you kind of like check to make sure you're seeing and turning into stone. Yeah, big ring. Oh, I thought it was the intro to work it, make it do it, makes sense. I thought it was porn. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's just an idling truck. Nice. You're trying to set the atmosphere. So you feel the gaze of her eye go in you, and you feel the warmth of that laser coming into you. However, the gaze are coming into me. It's Brad. You start to look and check yourself. God damn it.
SPEAKER_04Sorry.
SPEAKER_05You feel the gaze of her eyesight coming into you, and you start to check yourself to see if you're turning into stone, but you feel that you're you're fine. Oh.
SPEAKER_00She just knows where you are now, and she goes like, Yeah, bitch.
SPEAKER_05And with that, it is Mark's turn. I'm gonna try to knock over this rig with my strength. Okay. I'm gonna I'm gonna go this. And I'm also gonna yell, hey bitch, and I'm gonna get her try to get her attention. Uh, obviously, with all the noise I'm about to make. Okay, we're gonna have to make opposing strength checks. So go ahead and make a strength check, and I will make a strength check. Okay. Where are you ramming this thing? Uh I'm assuming I got to this to like the rectangle? No, I thought I was getting to the the part where you get it. Oh, the square. The square.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_05And I am trying to get underneath it with my horns to to topple it. To topple it. Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. You want to create this is a decent idea.
SPEAKER_06You want to create a fulcrum.
SPEAKER_05How big are you? I'm huge. I'm a fucking.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, how big is a gorgon? I mean, bulls are pretty strong.
SPEAKER_05But man, I'm just strong as fuck over here. A gorgon is a large monstrosity, so it's it is like a bull. Yeah. I'm pretty sure if we took a truck, who would win in a fight?
SPEAKER_02Hi, I'm Mr. Beast. I'm a metal, I'm a metal bull. I'm a metal.
SPEAKER_05Metal? Yes. Dude, he's on the cover of a Led Zeppelin album. Metallica shirt, too. Yes.
SPEAKER_02I didn't know you're metal. That changes things. I thought it was just like flesh and fish.
SPEAKER_05No, not just like a regular bull. A regular ass bull? What kind of truck is this? You said it's a square. It's an 18-wheeler big rig. Uh-huh. Is it American or European?
SPEAKER_01That could make a difference. Is it made by BMW or is it made by Kenworth? Is this a Peterbilt? Hold on. Is it a Mercedes?
SPEAKER_06So Mark is six feet tall, eight foot long, and weighs four thousand pounds.
SPEAKER_05I'd say this my physical dimensions, apparently, yeah. So I take up 10 by 10 foot space, about six feet tall, yeah. Eight feet in length. Okay. I'm pulling up different. Which would be six by eight and not ten by ten.
unknownExactly.
SPEAKER_05Why do you know so many semi-trucks? My grandpa used to work on them. Uh I've been around big trucks a lot. They're fucking big.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, they they look bigger when you're a small kid. That's true. All right.
SPEAKER_05Um it's not a Volvo. It's not a Volvo. This is not a vagina one. It's a Peter belt. Oh. Okay. Okay. Whatever. That's American made.
SPEAKER_04PETA BILT. Oh, PETA. Oh, PETA. Oh, oh. Topple me, Lowis. Okay, can I fucking roll it? I know.
SPEAKER_06I'd be like, I get one free night a week, and I'm like, yeah, but then we spent all night listening to sound effects. It was great.
SPEAKER_05Are you just uh were you the kid who had the headphones and then were just like, yeah. And the rolling backpack.
SPEAKER_01I was pre-headphones. My life would have been infinitely better if I had noise-cancelling headphones in my day-to-day life.
SPEAKER_05All right, go ahead and make your strength throw. Here we go. That's a that's a 20, right? That's 20. Yeah, it looks like a room. Wait, you got a nat 20? Nat 20. Nat 20. Nat 20. Okay. You need to explain to me. Oh my god. You need to explain to me. Explain yourself. Yeah. How you flip this over. Right. Acting like a fulcrum. Tell me what happens. So I obviously I hit it the first time and bounce out a little bit, and then I come out more like five, six feet, and then charge fully directly, like at a right angle, get my horns, metal horns, underneath this truck. And you say underneath the truck, where underneath the truck? Uh underneath the part where he's sitting. The part where he's driving. Yes, under the side of the steps. Yeah, yeah. And then flip it up as hard as I can.
SPEAKER_06May I add a little uh note about that? So that is where the cab connects to the to the semi-bed. Would that not just cause the cab to flip up?
SPEAKER_01Well, you could. Towards towards the back, like most of the the weight is towards the front where the motor is.
SPEAKER_06Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_05But also, if you're going back towards where the trailer is, that is usually where the fuel tanks are. Oh. On the side. Ooh. Highly flammable fuel. Right next to the rectangle.
SPEAKER_06And you're inflammable.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_02However, you are metal and the friction of metal horns on the metal gas tank could cause our second explosion of this trip.
SPEAKER_01That's that's true.
SPEAKER_06Sorry to try to throw that wrench in there, but that's my thought.
SPEAKER_05No, that's that's great. So I'm gonna do my thing. No, I I'll go for the gas tank to pierce the gas tank with metal on metal friction so hard because I rolled the 20. Obviously, it's so your horn connects with the gas tank and it hits the fuel injector, which I think is near there. And no engine. Hey, it's your world, dude. Yeah, it's your injector. That's where it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's your world. Yeah, it hits the fuel injector because the gas, diesel, the fuel needs to get injected into the vehicle. Yeah. And the injector is the hole where you put the gas. And so your horn goes into the gas tank and it does start to you feel heat right on your horn, and it goes hotter and hotter and hotter to where this giant explosion explodes. And it goes. I'm assuming you're putting a sound effect there. Nope.
SPEAKER_06Oh no. It sneezed with action.
SPEAKER_05And this gigantic explosion causes the rectangle to come off of the square. So the trailer starts to shake and it does land onto the ground with a loud thump. However, the cab continues to drive, and now with the trailer off, he manages to speed away. So he's now moving at like triple the I don't think it's possible. However, what? Did you you made it explode, right?
SPEAKER_06Yeah. And I thought you were like flipping it as you were making it explode.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You you just made the thing explode, right?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, no, that's that's the idea of in the gas tank, yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You made the well, first of all, if the explosion's big enough, like wouldn't it take out the either the whole truck or both gas tanks?
SPEAKER_05So what it did was the explosion caused it to uncouple from the cab. Yeah. Because the gas is back here.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. The thing that fuels the truck to make it speed off? That was the main problem with it.
SPEAKER_05I'm saying that the cab, uh-huh, not the cab, the trailer has come off.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_05You have flipped the trailer effectively. The explosion has knocked it down. Uh-huh. However, the explosion has also boosted the cab. Oh, I see. All right.
SPEAKER_06Okay, so real quick, this is a picture of a semi explosion. I just want to make sure if we think that this is probably what happened. Okay, so hold on. Uh so we're currently watching it. Looks like a California fire. So that's the semi that just exploded. Yes. And he drove away from that? Yes, he did. Oh, crazy. Okay, just want to make sure, just clarifying. Just clarifying.
SPEAKER_02What a pussy explosion for an An 20.
SPEAKER_05However, the trailer is left. And it is intact because it also is metal. And as we know famously from Shane, metal does not burn. Correct. Wait, what did I say that? Oh, yeah. Yeah, you said metal is like your fireproof or something. It should be. Steel beams. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is diesel fuel, not jet fuel.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, see that? Look at that. Anyway, this is You got one free night and you're here looking at trucks.
SPEAKER_05It's fucking you're listening to truck sounds. Next thing you know, Mark's gonna look up truck smells.
SPEAKER_02My Google's broken. I can't smell this at all. I can go down to the gas station and take a little bit of diesel and like blowing.
SPEAKER_06And then maybe that girl will go on a second date with you.
SPEAKER_05I doubt it. Oh well. All right. And with that, AI, it is your turn. And I, completing the trifecta, go, hey, bitch!
SPEAKER_01Look over here.
SPEAKER_02And as I I don't even look, I don't even check. I just hold the mirror at her and do slight movements to make to hope you get the exact angle for the other eye to take the light in. Slight small movements on my wrist. We've all been there. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Somebody, some BMW is riding behind you, five foot flashing their high beams, and I am Is she smart enough to not look? Let's see.
SPEAKER_02I said, Hey bitch, she looked at everybody else's at a bit.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, really. She goes, Well, all three of you are rude. And she whips her head to look at you when she says rude. And right as she does, her eye catches the middle of the glass of the mirror. And she goes, Is that great? And it bounces back into her other eye. And so now both of the gazes have been stopped. And she's like, oh shit.
SPEAKER_00So she's like, Well, that's that's kind of all I can do.
SPEAKER_02Um, she's about to become Daredevil of Gorgon. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Help. I can't swim.
SPEAKER_06Oh, now I feel bad.
SPEAKER_00Help. We're out of combat.
SPEAKER_06All right, perfect.
SPEAKER_00Great. Help.
SPEAKER_06Nice work, guys.
SPEAKER_02All right. What do we do? Do we get do we get into the buggy and we follow the truck? That is somehow prep being propelled forward.
SPEAKER_01I feel like we should just go to the trucks. I don't think it's gonna go very fast.
SPEAKER_06That's a good idea.
SPEAKER_05And we can't without fuel, right? There's no fuel. The truck is like speeding off into the sunset. But fuel fueled by what? Yeah. Fueled by what?
SPEAKER_02Is it a fucking solar-powered truck? The shit exploded. It went boom.
SPEAKER_05It was a 20-sided boom. When the author wrote. Can I get 20 big boom?
SPEAKER_01Boom.
SPEAKER_05Boom. Boom. Costco guys are pissed. When the author wrote it, what? The explosion propelled it. It's writing momentum. It's going off into the sunset.
SPEAKER_06Oh, so like a cartoon.
SPEAKER_05Oh. Like a cartoon, you say. Yes. Physics doesn't matter in a cartoon.
SPEAKER_01All right. What I do is I go over to the trailer and like a cartoon, I take my talon and I draw a big circle in the side of the truck.
SPEAKER_02And then as it just gets right to the very end, a little less little tink, I take my my other talon, my other hand, and I poke it ever so slightly so that the circle spins on its middle and goes before it stops. And I go, why don't I take a look in here? And then I poke my head in like a cartoon. Yeah. What do I see?
SPEAKER_05That does happen. This was in my notes. We've been playing it wrong! Yeah. This was in my notes. Oh that does happen because as you stick your head into whoop, you see. She's pretty hot. You see one of the little orbs from the original Dunkel Sprout, but it's not mad maxified at all. And it still has the cartoon physics. And you see it like bouncing up and down, bouncing around. I eat it.
SPEAKER_02I eat it. I want it in me. I want the power of it.
SPEAKER_05You pissed me off. Make a constitution saving throw. No.
SPEAKER_00One!
SPEAKER_05You've seriously got a I seriously got a one. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Do I okay? Can can I pitch to you what I think happens?
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I go, what do we have here? And I take it in my one hand and I hold it over me and I go, and it goes, you see it like an anaconda going down my throat and into my belly. You hear it go boing.
SPEAKER_01And then all of a sudden, I give a little cough, a little burp. There's some indigestion. And then I go, uh-oh. And then you see the inside of my my body protrude out to the to the right, to the left, backward, forward.
SPEAKER_02Huge explosion. My mouth, smoke comes out, and I go, I don't feel so good, fellas. And you see it start to like uh go around the inside of my belly, gaining momentum, gaining momentum, gaining momentum. Until all of a sudden, I lean forward tight in on my face, my eyes get big, huge fart, gigantic fart, and like an anvil, it passes out of me. I can't I I I offer you five points of damage for that.
SPEAKER_05I'll give you you take five points of damage for that. It falls out of him and it goes back to bouncing on the inside of the trailer.
SPEAKER_02I don't think I was the right one for that, fellas.
SPEAKER_05I don't think so.
SPEAKER_06I'm not touching it. I'm not touching it.
SPEAKER_02Well, I mean, somebody should try to eat it. I think you're gonna embody. I think you're gonna embody the the cartoonishness of it. Then you can do fucking whatever you want.
SPEAKER_06Oh man, that does sound like that.
SPEAKER_02I'm gonna have to spray that thing down before I touch it.
SPEAKER_03Oh man.
SPEAKER_06Oh yeah, I'm not taking anything that came out of your cloaca.
SPEAKER_05I'll eat it again. You can try. I try it again. Constitution saving throw. Constitution. 64. Is that what I need to answer? No, no. Uh all right. I have a 13 plus one is 14. Okay, with a 14, you manage to swallow it down. It starts to you see it go past your neck, it goes boing, it bounces, does the same bouncing thing inside you, but then you manage to like finally catch it inside of you and shove it down. All of the sudden, you feel your bodily anatomy start to change. Your bones that you once had are now more rubbified. Your skin and feathers are now stretchy, and you now have the magical ability of I'm gonna call it Roger Rabbit powers. So what what he says in Who Frames Roger Rabbit, you have these powers. It's going to be up to me, Shane, okay, and Mark. Alright. You have nine omnipotent powers in this chapter. Okay. They only work when it's funny.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_05All right. That's it. Okay.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Sounds good.
SPEAKER_05All right.
unknownAll right.
SPEAKER_05So I get. anybody have any thoughts before I let loose? I don't want to see a swallow that thing again. Keep it inside. Yeah, keep it inside. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02And I go, uh, don't worry. I usually spit and then I spit over to the side and you hear it ding, like it's an old uh Western cartoon, and you look back at me, and then I'm dressed as a cowboy. Hell yeah. Sounds like that one worked. All right, well. I love it. Now I go, if you excuse me, I got work to do. Cut two. Cartoon driving the truck. We see him. Uh we see from his perspective, looking out of the cab of the truck. He sees on the side of the road, what is this beautiful woman? Certainly with those legs, it must be. Short leather skirt, fish nets, uh, cute little pink uh uh top, beautiful curly blonde hair, leg outstretched. She's looking for a ride. Sure.
SPEAKER_05Cartoon, his eyes turn into small hearts and they go, boing. The horn goes. And he pulls over and he goes, Well, well, hey there, Miss.
SPEAKER_03Oh, you're so nice to stop and help a lady.
SPEAKER_05We'll hop on in work, we're going up to Meanie Berg Hill. I go boing, boing, boing, up into the steps, and I go, Oh, this is nice. You want, you want to pick.
SPEAKER_01Listen, this is the character's gonna be gone in a minute, anyway.
SPEAKER_05Okay, here we go. And he puts on some wounds. Where are we headed? I just fucking said Meanie Burg Hill.
SPEAKER_02You're a mean one. Mr. Grinch.
SPEAKER_05This will never work. They're already arguing. Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER_01I very conspicuously actually I want to I want to say, oh, dude, would you like a snack?
SPEAKER_03A snack? Yeah, a little for the road.
SPEAKER_02I think I embodied Grant on accident.
SPEAKER_03I think he doesn't know what a snack is. Yes, a little timid.
SPEAKER_02No, that's what a snack is. All right, sure. I dig through my purse and I go, that's not it. And I take like uh I take out a bowling ball, throw it behind me, loud crash, dig through a little bit more, take out a severed head, that's not it, throw it back. I take out a can of paint with uh a paintbrush in it. I go, well, that's certainly not it. Throw it behind, and I go, Oh, what's this?
SPEAKER_03A Snickers bar. That's for you.
SPEAKER_02And I hand it over to Carnune.
SPEAKER_05He he takes it. Takes it and he goes, Does he eat it? Uh yeah, he peels the wrapper.
SPEAKER_03Oh, would you look at that? A tunnel.
SPEAKER_05He looks, I assume, towards the tunnel.
SPEAKER_03Better turn your lights on.
SPEAKER_05He he flicks his lights on.
SPEAKER_02Uh he looks back. Who's the DM here? That's what I'm wondering. He looks back. I have an eye on his house. Looks back to the passenger seat. Uh there is a uh you have heard a boom, and there's dust where I have jumped out of the window. You look forward, and I I think slowly as the truck approaches the tunnel, uh, Carn at the very last second realizes it is but a a painted outline of a tunnel on the side of a mountain.
SPEAKER_05And so he takes this cab of this 18-wheeler and this square.
SPEAKER_01Sorry, uh, do we want to do a check?
SPEAKER_05Is that funny? No, that's good.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_07In the square.
SPEAKER_05The square rams into the side of the mountain. Does it become flat? It well, it it doesn't become flat. It creates a tunnel as he's going through, and you see, like, you don't see the initial impact. All you see is loud flashing lights and like jagged red and blue and yellow lines, and you see squiggles and stuff, and when the smoke dissipates, you see just an empty hole where you like he continued crashing through, and through the other side of the mountain, you see tipped over the cab, and you see him almost crawling on one arm, and you see him crawl into a gigantic hole that is on the other side of the mountain as he slips inside there. Cut to the inside of the No!
SPEAKER_02I have nigh omnimp to powers, and everybody just laughed at what I said.
SPEAKER_05So because this is the next session.
SPEAKER_02But I got one more thing. Okay. Right before he goes in, right before he goes in, is he angry? Is he mad at me? Yes, he's he's pretty pissed. Is it on his face?
SPEAKER_05Yes, and he has a big old lump at the top of his head. Are there birds going around there?
SPEAKER_02And I go, uh well, I don't want him mad at me.
SPEAKER_01And uh at that moment, an old uh uh telegram delivery person shows up, it's me, and I'm in the little outfit, and I I go, There's a telegram and a delivery for a uh big dumb asshole.
SPEAKER_02It's probably you. And uh it's a bunch of flowers, and it goes, Oh, this is from AIE. Uh, he says he's sorry. Oh hands over the flowers.
SPEAKER_04Well, how nice.
SPEAKER_05And at that moment, realizes there is a stick of dynamite in the middle of the flowers, and it is just getting to the last bit of the wick. And then you can see um all of this while this is happening. We cut back to John and Ranger, who AI has just seemingly disapparated. I feel like you hear far-off boing, boing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Boing boing boing. You look over to like in the far-off distance, all you see is a flaming cartoon on like his butt is on fire up in the air, going yeah, as he lands right into the hole uh in the crater that he went through, and then suddenly AI apparates back at you guys. What I miss. What you miss? What we miss.
SPEAKER_01And then I kiss you big on the cheek. And then pulling up very terribly, the Dune buggy is your son you.com slash comedy and dice. That is patreon.com slash comedy, the letter in dice.
