SPEAKER_06 0:15

Welcome back to Nightmare Party, the only D podcast you need. How's everyone doing? Everyone doing good and feeling fun?

SPEAKER_02 0:23

So excited for all our for all our party people out there. That's the new name for our fans.

SPEAKER_06 0:27

The party people. I love it. Oh great, Kevin. Great. How are you all any any insights into Dungeons and Dragons and tabletop role playing in general?

SPEAKER_15 0:36

I just like how easy it is because people were like, it's complicated, but like all you do is you just say, like, I I want to do this, and you roll a D20, and usually it doesn't happen.

SPEAKER_02 0:44

Or you say no, no, I'm going over here, or like, uh, how about no? Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 0:51

Yeah. You guys do sort of, you know, you know, take a lot of I give you an inch, you take a mile. Not every dungeon master is necessarily like that.

SPEAKER_06 1:00

So you know, you'll be at different experiences at different tables. But I'm just here to to have fun with my friends. So that's uh that's what I love about this.

SPEAKER_04 1:09

Were they? Okay, great. So let's stop.

SPEAKER_06 1:12

Let's stop before saying things I can't take back. Yeah. Um we remember last time uh uh our party, our current party, because there's been a few versions of uh uh characters um doing our our campaigns. Will Pomkin Chain and Ryan Beale, the dwarf. Um escaped from, um, and I say escape from with um uh quotation marks because you never really even went into uh the skeleton city. Um but clearly you you guys uh assed out that maybe there was something um untoward afoot. They were desperate for you to go to an event where it was maybe clear that you would be uh maybe yourselves the main course. It seemed quite obvious.

SPEAKER_15 1:59

They were they were kind of showing their hand a lot.

SPEAKER_12 2:02

You made it really obvious, Ryan.

SPEAKER_02 2:04

It's really giving me the ick.

SPEAKER_12 2:06

Yeah. Yeah, the whole town was sort of giving us the ick, Ryan.

SPEAKER_05 2:10

That's fair. That's fair. It was well, it wasn't a it was this it was a town of skeletons.

SPEAKER_06 2:15

So not everything is gonna be hunky-dory on this uh uh adventure path of ours. But you did escape, you escaped, you you sort of uh uh fought off some skeleton guards. I believe you drowned them, because skeletons we found out can't swim but can drown. And then you made a raft out of their bones, and you're now down the river, escaping from uh uh danger as as you sort of uh go on your way. Yes.

SPEAKER_15 2:41

And we left High Wizard Quelfner in prison, in jail?

SPEAKER_06 2:44

Yes, we had uh we had to sort of uh bouncing around with high High Wizard Quelfner, I believe, is in jail, threatening to avenge himself. Yeah, bone jail. Bone jail.

SPEAKER_03 2:54

Bone jail, yes, from the federal bones.

SPEAKER_06 2:56

You can do anything with bones. Rafts, jail, anything you want. Cool. Um, so we're gonna be on a river.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

For rafts to jail. Bones. Invest in bones.

SPEAKER_05 3:08

Yeah, that's uh that's quite the gamut there.

SPEAKER_12 3:10

We better hope the doggos don't get into bonesville, otherwise they'll go. Oh my god. Could you imagine the doggos in in the in the skeleton town?

SPEAKER_02 3:20

Oh my god. I wonder if the skeleton town's directly beneath Dog London. Like, how crazy would that be?

SPEAKER_06 3:25

Like they're oh, maybe yeah, the worlds are linked, maybe. Oh, speaking of links, dogs.

SPEAKER_12 3:31

Dogs. What? Sausage links. Oh what? Yeah, dogs like those. Classic dogs. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05 3:39

Yeah, I think they do. In cartoons and stuff, I think.

SPEAKER_12 3:41

Dogs love making connections to things.

SPEAKER_06 3:43

Yeah, yeah. Dogs like that. Yeah. Uh so why don't we why don't we why don't we start off like a nice soft start with our characters on the raft? Oh, nice. Your your your your maybe the the water is fairly deep, but not nothing rapid, you know what I mean? It's slow moving, but you're lazily going down this river. What do you say to each other?

SPEAKER_12 4:03

Oh, lazy river.

SPEAKER_06 4:05

Oh, it's a lazy river.

SPEAKER_02 4:06

And it's underground still, right?

SPEAKER_03 4:07

Like we're sort of in it's like an underground river.

SPEAKER_06 4:09

Yeah, I remember the skeleton was like on the edge of town. Oh, so I don't know if it's on I don't know if we're necessarily underground. We might have a big open sky. I think you have a big open sky.

SPEAKER_02 4:19

I think the skeleton town is clouds soft, soft as you, pumpkin.

SPEAKER_15 4:26

Oh, look at that guy playing banjo above us. That's so nice. Oh, it's another banjo.

SPEAKER_02 4:33

Yeah. Three banjos. If we could grab them, we could all play. It's lovely.

SPEAKER_11 4:39

It's nice to imagine.

SPEAKER_15 4:41

Hey, can you pass me that cold beer you have over there? You mean this bone?

SPEAKER_02 4:48

Oh, yeah, I mean a cold beer.

SPEAKER_15 4:49

Yeah, thank you. So crack that open. Are we losing our minds? I don't know. We've been out here for quite a while.

SPEAKER_02 4:58

I mean, I haven't flashed anyone and I don't know how long.

SPEAKER_11 5:02

I feel like the sun is making us go crazy, drinking bones like beers.

SPEAKER_06 5:08

Yeah, I do want to put you're just on a river, you're not on like the ocean. So you can, I guess, pull over anytime you like.

SPEAKER_15 5:14

We've been trapped in the middle. We've been sailing for how long? I haven't seen land in how long.

SPEAKER_02 5:21

Can I roll to can I roll to see if I look at uh like Will Pumpkin and he looks like um like a big bowl of soup or something? Oh yeah, absolutely so.

SPEAKER_05 5:29

Yeah, okay, great. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:31

I rolled an eight.

SPEAKER_05 5:32

Yeah, so yeah, you do.

SPEAKER_06 5:33

You look at him and he looks he looks kind of like you you slowly look at him and he looks like a big old turkey. Good. Are you seeing what I'm seeing, Ryan Beale?

SPEAKER_02 5:42

Yeah, I'm looking at a turkey I'd like to put in my pants and poke at my fly to make it look like a dick and freak everyone out.

SPEAKER_15 5:50

You look like a sausage roll, Ryan Beal.

SPEAKER_02 5:53

Oh me?

SPEAKER_15 5:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 5:55

Yum yum.

SPEAKER_02 5:56

Oh, wait, don't eat me.

SPEAKER_06 5:58

So it sounds like you guys like feel like you might be like shipwrecked or something. You're on a river, so the the banks of the river on either side of you are quite close. Right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:10

Land's been nothing but trouble to me in my life. Nice. I'm ready for the seafaring life.

SPEAKER_11 6:15

Yeah. You both look like sandwiches to me. What kind of sandwich? You look like a P B and J. A please butter Joey.

SPEAKER_02 6:30

Look like butter and like a like a child kangaroo. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_15 6:35

You look like a BLT. A big little tomato.

SPEAKER_05 6:43

Oh as you're discussing what each other looks like a croque, monsieur.

SPEAKER_02 6:49

A crabby rock and roll.

SPEAKER_06 6:52

In the distance, you start to see something coming in the river. It looks like it could be like a rope bridge, but as you get closer, you're like a hundred yards away, let's say. It just looks like a big net made of rope that's half in the river and half out, blocking your passage completely.

SPEAKER_11 7:08

Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing? It looks like a big it looks like um one of those nettings that can surround an um an you know, a Chinese apple pear. Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 7:26

Like that they protect the apple pears in. Or it looks like loose wheatabics hanging in the water. Let's eat it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 7:36

I'm gonna try to eat it. So you're 50 yards away still, so you decide to keep going. You've got some decisions.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

But all of us walk to the front of the raft and start going, pawing in the air and biting at the air. Just getting ready for the water.

SPEAKER_15 7:49

We've been on the ocean for so long. We've been taking some river water going crazy.

SPEAKER_05 7:53

And I think it's been I think it's been a day at most, like a whole day.

SPEAKER_06 7:57

But you can get quite hungry, I suppose. Yeah, because of you. So you're just gonna float towards it. You're all decide you're just gonna you're just gonna make like you're chewing as you approach it. Yeah. Because that's how hungry you are. Is that right? Okay, now you're 20 yards away. I'm gonna keep giving you. Okay. Still want to do this? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:25

Oh, question for Ryan. My glowing hand. Any change, it's just glowing still. Still glowing.

SPEAKER_06 8:30

Good question. Thank you very much. Yes, your hand is still glowing. No. Okay. Same amount, same everything. Nothing's really changed. It doesn't hurt you anymore, or can't do it. There's no new powers that developed with it. It's still just a glowing hand. Ten yards.

SPEAKER_11 8:44

Look at the sky. The clouds are crazy. Wow. Look at that, wheel pumpkin.

SPEAKER_02 8:54

It looks like another waiter bicks up in the sky.

SPEAKER_11 8:57

Oh, I want to go up towards it. I'm gonna roll. Can I roll to see if we can go up? You wanna roll to see if you can go up and the raft can go up.

SPEAKER_00 9:10

Yeah, like a paddle up.

SPEAKER_05 9:12

Can we paddle up?

SPEAKER_06 9:14

Only way this will work is if you roll a 20. I rolled an eight. Yeah, no, you can't go up. The raft doesn't fly, and it gets suddenly softly, not too hard, you get stuck in this netting that's uh crossing.

SPEAKER_02 9:33

What does it taste like? It tastes like rope. Can I can I roll to see if I actually manage to chew through it?

SPEAKER_06 9:39

Yeah, sure. It'll be a pretty difficult roll, but yeah, see if you can. I want to do the same roll. Okay, I rolled a nine. No. You mean you mean you're still chewing it. Can I roll two? There you go. I rolled a 11. No, no. I rolled a one. And definitely not. All of a sudden on the other side, jump up two eel guys. They're eels with mustaches and arms and legs, and they kind of like slipper around and go like, ha, we are, and they finish each other's sentences. The eel brothers. And you have stuck in our toll trap.

SPEAKER_11 10:14

I cut them off, I go, ooh, spaghetties! I want to eat them. Oh, I want to eat those. They remind me of spaghetti.

SPEAKER_04 10:26

I mean, okay.

SPEAKER_06 10:28

Like, this is a toll net. You have to pay us a toll to get down the river. What's the toll? They both say and they say a bunch of different things. Three silver, a story, a secret, one boot. They go, and it goes, it descends into chaos. Like they're they're they're mad. They're mad. They jump around, they slip around, they go down and up. You're trapped.

SPEAKER_15 11:02

Um okay. Uh I'm gonna I'm gonna attack them. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 11:07

Yeah. So let's talk this out a little bit. So you're on the other side of the net, you're gonna like what do you got? Where are they? They're they're on the other side. And remember, they're slipping and sliding. So they're like five-foot eels, too.

SPEAKER_15 11:18

Are they eels or are they eel guys?

SPEAKER_06 11:19

They're eel guys. So they're eels that can move like eels, but then they also have arms and legs.

SPEAKER_12 11:24

So they've probably got the uh uh insecurities of guys. Yeah, totally.

SPEAKER_15 11:31

So small penis. And you're mediocre. Like, excuse me, eel guys. We've been on the ocean for so long. It's a it's a river. And we need fresh water. What's the river? The river is is around beautiful, crystal clear water. You can't drink it, it's too salty.

SPEAKER_11 11:53

We can't drink it. It tastes like bone when we scoop out a bit.

SPEAKER_15 11:58

Yeah, only choice. I love sushi.

SPEAKER_06 12:06

Um, they kind of stare at you, they're right up against the net, and they go, I guess you could get out and walk around or pay the tool.

SPEAKER_02 12:15

I'm gonna start climbing the net. Hey, hey, hey, hey!

SPEAKER_06 12:19

Uh they kind of push and prod you. Kevin, give me a roll to see if you hang on.

unknown 12:23

Okay, hold on.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

A three.

SPEAKER_06 12:26

Yeah, you fall down. You fall down into the water.

SPEAKER_02 12:29

Spoosh! Ah! Ryan!

SPEAKER_15 12:33

I try to help him out of the water. Okay, yeah, I think you can probably help him out. Well, I I'm a bit unclear. What is the toll?

SPEAKER_06 12:42

It's you decide, and then we decide if we like it.

SPEAKER_11 12:47

Oh, I don't like these guys. They lack conviction.

SPEAKER_15 12:54

That's because they have the insecurities of a guy.

SPEAKER_04 13:00

Like Will Pumpkin judging someone for lack of conviction.

SPEAKER_11 13:05

I'm just gonna talk to them. Guys, yes, what's going on with you? Is everything okay? I mean, yes, we control this part of the river. But what's that mean in the grand scheme? What who's who cares? I guess we never really thought about it before.

SPEAKER_06 13:28

We were born in the river and we made this netting out of rope we stole from other boots.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Don't you have a dream? I mean, each of us has a dream that we're all working towards. We're trying to be less of your dreams.

SPEAKER_11 13:42

I'm trying to be less of a coward.

SPEAKER_15 13:46

I want to help Will Pumpkin be less of a coward because I've never been I've never done a selfless act.

SPEAKER_02 13:54

I'm trying to uh I'm trying to uh I'm trying to sell out uh Madison Dog Garden.

SPEAKER_15 14:03

In Dog London?

SPEAKER_02 14:05

No, in New Dog City. Okay.

SPEAKER_15 14:09

Why the dog city? Dog London idiot.

SPEAKER_02 14:13

Oh, sorry. Uh I wanna uh sell out the O2 arena. The D O G2 arena. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 14:22

Those dreams sound interesting, but we're just eel guys.

SPEAKER_11 14:27

But what's not our dreams are river based. We No no, shut up. Shut up. Stop talking about yourselves this way. Just eel guys. You're doing really great, Will. This is some real bravery you're showing. I'm really proud of you. Shut up! He took a backbone off the off the raft and put it in his holding.

SPEAKER_04 14:52

Everyone do, shut up. Will's got Will's got a catchphrase. Will's got a catchphrase now, though. Shut up. Whoa.

SPEAKER_15 15:02

Whoa, Will's coming into his own. Let's see what he has to say for himself. Yeah. We're all eels. Oh shut up.

SPEAKER_11 15:10

Now what? You're you're not just anything. You've set up a net, you've created a plan. See it through. What do you want? Who are you?

SPEAKER_06 15:22

We we're the eel brothers. Yes, your brothers. And we come from a large family of eels. Most of our brothers and sisters died upon birth. The rate is high. You've got trauma. We survive through our cunning and strength. Set up this net, and we've made a pretty good go of it.

SPEAKER_15 15:49

So shut up. You've got trauma. Why do you guys talk at the same time? Like, why do you f like do one word after the other? Like, how does that work? It just seemed like an interesting thing for these guys to do. Yeah, but I'm asking the guys.

SPEAKER_02 16:09

Yeah, and even when you're doing that, b both of you just shake your head back and forth as you do it, as if you need to pass it. Which is stalking. Why? Like, how did you learn?

SPEAKER_04 16:22

Essentially, twins. We're twins.

SPEAKER_02 16:23

I'm kind of with Will on this one. Shut up.

SPEAKER_04 16:26

Shut up. Okay, look. Listen. Your vote is ours, or pay the toll, or get out and walk.

SPEAKER_15 16:34

We don't remember you. And Will's Will's got a point. Will's got Will has got a really good point. Shut up.

SPEAKER_11 16:44

Will this point really resonates with us?

SPEAKER_15 16:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_11 16:46

You talk about yourselves like you've got all these fancy little doodads in place of a core personality. Now I'm gonna tell you what's going on. You've got trauma and you're trying to get past it. Let us help you.

SPEAKER_02 17:05

Well net's actually cut caught you in your trauma, not us. How could you help us?

SPEAKER_11 17:12

Well, what do you want? You want to catch, you want to tow? What are you after to prove yourselves to whom? We've never really thought about it before.

SPEAKER_06 17:26

You've got to do that. I suppose we blame our parents for leaving us alone with thousands of our siblings to die.

SPEAKER_14 17:37

Now, did you tell me this?

SPEAKER_15 17:38

Did you eat your siblings when you were when you were tiny? Yeah, maybe a few. Yeah, no, I think we need to get we need to find some honesty here. That's the only way we're gonna break it. Let's get into it. Will is onto something, and I think we really we should we should actually kind of crack this. Did you were you forced to eat your own siblings? That's hard. That's hard to that's hard stuff. The river is unforgiving.

SPEAKER_06 18:03

Many predators.

SPEAKER_15 18:05

Don't blame the river.

SPEAKER_02 18:07

Are you afraid that if things fall on hard times, you're gonna have to eat each other? No, we never thought about each other.

SPEAKER_04 18:14

We love each other.

SPEAKER_14 18:16

But you did eat your siblings.

SPEAKER_04 18:18

Yeah, you did. When we were but tadpoles or whatever eels are before they grow up. Little eels, I guess.

SPEAKER_15 18:28

Yeah. And you were forced that was your only option. It's not your fault.

SPEAKER_06 18:33

Many people come to the river to fish for eels. Hey, shut up.

SPEAKER_11 18:40

It's not your fault.

SPEAKER_12 18:42

It's not your fault.

SPEAKER_02 18:43

Yeah, go ahead and this, Will Pumpkin. You're good Will Pumpkin.

SPEAKER_15 18:47

It's not your fault. Yeah, how do you like them apples?

SPEAKER_11 18:50

It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

SPEAKER_15 18:52

It's not your fault.

SPEAKER_04 18:54

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 18:55

I suppose at this point you've unlocked various emotions and uh moral uh journeys for us to explore. We should just let you go.

SPEAKER_15 19:08

Shut up, shut up. I think I think you two have never spoken to each other. What I think is happening is you're using this speak at the same time kind of business to avoid actually talking to one another, and I want you to try to look at each other in the eyes. Yeah. If you can.

SPEAKER_02 19:24

Do it. And say it's not our fault.

SPEAKER_15 19:28

Say it's not your fault. And the other one say it's also not your fault. Do you want? No, no, no, no, no, no. No back and forth. No back and forth. No back and forth. I want you to look at each other and I want you to use your own voice because you're individuals. Yeah, individuals.

SPEAKER_05 19:42

Okay, so the the eel brothers turn to look at each other. Yeah. And the one guy goes, Jamie.

SPEAKER_06 19:53

What we've done together. Stop it.

SPEAKER_14 19:57

This is hard to break the cadence. Yeah, just do one voice. Jamie, you do it. So this is one voice. And what's your name?

SPEAKER_15 20:05

Diego. Diego? Diego first. Jamie, don't open your mouth.

SPEAKER_06 20:12

Jamie. We've come a long way together. We've captured a lot of boats and rafts. But maybe it's time we capture some emotions. Diego, you are the only living member of my family. You are everything to me.

SPEAKER_14 20:39

If I lost you, I couldn't go on. Now I want you to admit to each other that you ate all your siblings. We admit it. Jamie, I ate three siblings.

SPEAKER_04 20:52

Diego, I ate twenty-one siblings.

SPEAKER_11 20:58

Now forgive each other and forgive yourselves.

SPEAKER_06 21:01

Jamie, I forgive you. Diego, I forgive you. They say together, we forgive each other.

SPEAKER_02 21:11

How does that feel?

SPEAKER_06 21:12

Wow! And they rip the netting down because they're very strong, by the way. They're like very strong. They kind of got like the strength of maybe uh, I guess a chimpanzee.

SPEAKER_03 21:21

Well, one of them has the strength of 21 eels. That's right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 21:25

And they rip it down and they go, thank you for all you've given us. I guess keep on your goings.

SPEAKER_02 21:32

The net's down, kill him. Yeah, and I grab a sharpened bone and I stab Jamie right in the face.

SPEAKER_15 21:39

Yeah, and I'm gonna back up my my my bros.

SPEAKER_06 21:42

Okay, so great. So let's do some rolling. So the with the stab, Kevin, can you just uh see like how that goes?

SPEAKER_02 21:50

I rolled a nineteen.

SPEAKER_06 21:53

So do you do you know which one you stabbed? Jay I said Jamie. Yeah, so you stab Jamie and kill him kill him instantly.

SPEAKER_15 22:01

I take a big femur and I try to whack uh Diego on the head.

SPEAKER_02 22:05

And when I and when I stab him, I take out a slide whistle and I go.

SPEAKER_15 22:10

Okay, I'm gonna roll.

SPEAKER_14 22:13

I'm rolling. Yes. I rolled a oh a nine only.

SPEAKER_06 22:17

Okay, so yeah, you do hit Diego. And it kind of like kind of like he'll have a black eye.

SPEAKER_04 22:25

He's like, oh! And he looks to his now dead brother.

SPEAKER_06 22:30

No! So he's a little bit distracted. But so if you want to hit him again, I guess. Okay. Can I go again? Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 22:36

Hit him again. 16.

SPEAKER_06 22:40

Yeah, so you yeah, you knock him unconscious. Okay. You don't kill him necessarily. No, he's an unconscious eel. Finish him! I feel like I should.

SPEAKER_15 22:49

I mean, we just killed this guy's twin brush.

SPEAKER_10 22:52

He'll come for us if we don't finish him.

SPEAKER_15 22:55

You're right. We should finish him. Will, do you want to uh do you want to do the killing blow?

SPEAKER_11 23:03

Yes, I'll kill him. I'm gonna roll to kill him. Rolled an 18.

SPEAKER_05 23:11

SPEAKER_06 23:14

He's like, I'm sorry to say this, but like he like his his eel skull opened up. Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_04 23:24

Terrible. You took these guys down as a motion. This is all like they weren't even that aggressive. Like they don't want to kill us. They just were like asking for like a story or or like anything can be told. They were kind of supposed to be goofy.

SPEAKER_02 23:42

I do feel really bad. Will just then kill them and I just went for it. I just got I just Will so persuasive right now. Wait, okay.

SPEAKER_11 23:53

Oh no, I feel bad too. What have we done? We've got to find a all of our hands. We've gotta get rid of the bodies, we've gotta eat them. Is there no way to save them, to bring them back? Some sort of a sorcerer. My mind got the best of me. I was feeling so confident. I then went to the body.

SPEAKER_06 24:10

You look to the shore. There's this a turtle with a little top hat who's witnessed everything. We have to kill him now, too. Kill him!

SPEAKER_02 24:21

What is the turtle?

SPEAKER_03 24:22

What's the turtle's reaction? Like, is it?

SPEAKER_11 24:24

He looks he starts to run away. We gotta get him. We gotta get him. Okay, he's a red turtle bag. Okay, guys, straight up. We kill the turtle, then we bring the two eels and the turtle and try to to the high wizard 129 and try to bring them all back.

SPEAKER_15 24:41

But for now, we've got to kill the turtle. Yeah, we have to just in case we can't bring them all back. We do have to kill the turtle, but then we can try to get them back to back to life.

SPEAKER_11 24:50

Including the turtle.

SPEAKER_15 24:52

So we chase after the turtle. You can catch up to the turtle.

SPEAKER_02 24:55

And also, I want to say we might have to resolve our own trauma. Because why did we do that?

SPEAKER_15 25:00

We're in it now, though.

SPEAKER_02 25:02

We will be our fault. That was our fault. Yeah, we will. We will. Okay.

unknown 25:07

We will.

SPEAKER_06 25:08

Both of them were gonna donate their heads and we can't. You gotta promise me you didn't see anything.

SPEAKER_01 25:54

Oh my god, we just watch this. I think I'm like, I mean, you're watching this like you have a couple minutes to respond. Okay, I I just walk I'm gonna can I do like an insanity check? Like I feel like this is We've gone insane. Like I I feel like I should roll to see like how affected I am by this, by this murder.

SPEAKER_14 26:38

This is fine. This is for the better good. I mean, you've seen a lot of like you're a criminal. So I think there's like maybe something in your past that like you know, you have sort of that uh eater be eaten, killer be killed, maybe mentality a little bit going on. Yeah. Um and then so you've got uh we've got about 30 seconds left before the turtle strangled.

SPEAKER_15 27:22

Um sorry, go ahead, Kevin.

SPEAKER_02 27:26

I was gonna say, come on, Joe! We can't just say you're not gonna rat us out. I have to.

SPEAKER_04 27:35

Oh river folk, take care of each other.

SPEAKER_02 27:39

But how is there somebody here that can bring the eels back to law? Oh, get out of here, Mr.

SPEAKER_06 27:44

He's going like this because there's a beaver on the other side of the bank.

SPEAKER_04 27:49

Get him! So I run and I go swim through the water.

SPEAKER_15 27:52

So my Will's continuing to strangle the turtle, uh, Marion Beal goes after the beaver. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 27:59

Did you do I catch up to the beaver? Can I roll? I guess do I roll to catch up?

SPEAKER_06 28:05

SPEAKER_02 28:31

Yeah, and I go, listen, I'm sorry, alright. We've been through Ellen back. All right. We're traumatized.

SPEAKER_07 28:40

I got kids in the lodge. I've got two kids.

SPEAKER_02 28:45

Are you gonna tell anybody?

SPEAKER_07 28:47

I swear, I swear, it won't kill anyone, I swear. I swear I got two kids in the lodge.

SPEAKER_02 28:51

And I I check, I check his like uh is he wearing pants or something? Uh no. No pants. Uh I want to find like I wanna like I want basically the equivalent of his ID. So I'm like, if you ever tell on me, I know where you live, kind of thing.

SPEAKER_06 29:04

Interesting. Yeah, I mean I just leave that up to you if you could think of a clever way to sort of maybe take his fingerprints or how about this?

SPEAKER_02 29:09

I'm gonna roll to like mentalize him. So like if I can roll and do a high roll, I like mentalize him where I'm like, you know, like I you lead a series of questions and then through that I guess like where he lives. You're gonna do like the word lodges so we know where to come getting. So I like ask him questions, just like get some benign questions and then goes.

SPEAKER_05 29:28

I rolled a 14. Yeah, okay, yeah. You're with through a series of questions, you're able to figure out where to go. Do we see those questions?

SPEAKER_02 29:35

I'm just like, oh yeah, like uh, oh right, uh what's your favorite type of wood? I suppose uh bolter. Oh, that's right, okay. And uh do you uh do you ever like uh get away for the weekend, like uh take your family away?

SPEAKER_07 29:45

No, I work every day. I go to work, I take care of the kids.

SPEAKER_02 29:48

And uh yeah, do you like uh do you like spicy food?

SPEAKER_07 29:51

No, just wood.

SPEAKER_02 29:52

Okay, so you actually live at the river bend uh two clicks south of here. Oh my god. Of a little tributary that goes off. Oh my god. Yeah, that's right. I know where you live. So if you rat us out, if you beaver on us, I'll come there and stump you with you and I'll make you say goddamn. I swear, I swear, I'll never say a thing. I just want to.

SPEAKER_07 30:13

People call their kids kids. It's kids.

SPEAKER_15 30:16

Great.

SPEAKER_11 30:17

Do you want to be like this to bead?

SPEAKER_02 30:22

No, no, no, no, no, it's wanna go. And the turtle he held the turtle up and the turtle's genitals are cut off and stuffed in its own mouth.

SPEAKER_04 30:28

I'm like, oh what the hell?

SPEAKER_10 30:34

No. That is a bummer beyond. Jesus Christ!

SPEAKER_07 30:41

Can I go? Can I just go, please, please?

SPEAKER_02 30:43

Yeah, yeah, you can go. But we'll be careful now. Okay.

SPEAKER_11 30:46

Okay. Okay. All right, go.

SPEAKER_06 30:50

Quite fast in the river.

SPEAKER_11 30:51

Quick, put the eels and the turtle in the net. Let's go find the high wizard quelfnar.

SPEAKER_15 30:56

We've got to get to the high wizard quelfnar who can bring them back to life, we think.

SPEAKER_11 31:00

We hope. So I hope he can undo everything I've done, including putting the balls in the mouth. I've lost my mind.

SPEAKER_15 31:09

We try to put the we try to wrap them in a way in such a way that it just looks like a bundle of like laundry or something.

SPEAKER_06 31:14

Yeah, let's do a roll. That's a nice roll to see uh that's a nice to be you, Mark C. That's a great idea. So you're trying to use the netting to hold them a lot. Eleven. So it's not the best job.

SPEAKER_15 31:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 31:26

It's not the best job. It's not the worst, but it's gonna be a situation where if anyone like does a pretty close inspection, they're gonna see where it is. It does look kind of like maybe like you've got a fishing net full of like, you know, or something. It doesn't look like laundry or something kind of normal. It looks like it might be um got blood and guts involved. So we go back towards skeleton. But they are contained. They are contained. You tied them up nice, so I'm gonna say that's kind of like middle of the road. So now you've got your raft, you've got your netting full of and we're going upstream towards skeleton town.

SPEAKER_15 32:02

Yeah, well, where did we leave, huh?

SPEAKER_06 32:05

Wizard Quelfner was in jail? Yeah, yeah, bone jail. Yeah, so you gotta go back to Skeleton Town, and so that's like a full day's upstream situation. Oh, look at the clouds. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:19

That one looks like a pumpkin, eh? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 32:24

So as you look up, you you are starting to drift downstream.

SPEAKER_15 32:29

Start paddling. Yeah, can we can we paddle up? Maybe there's a different wizard we could find. It seems like hard to go back upstream. It's gotta be.

SPEAKER_02 32:38

There's more than one wizard in a world.

SPEAKER_15 32:40

That's true. Let's see where we can just find a wizard.

SPEAKER_02 32:42

That's right. Let's go uh let's find the nearest city.

SPEAKER_11 32:46

Uh well, there's a few cities nearby if the map I've read is correct. There's there's New Haven, there's there's Chonkoville, there's Wizardopolis, and there's What was that last thing you said? Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_13 33:07

Choncoville? Yeah, let's go to Chonkoville.

SPEAKER_02 33:10

Let's go to Choncoville. Let's find us a big fat wizard.

SPEAKER_15 33:14

There's gotta be a wizard in Chonkoville.

SPEAKER_05 33:17

Is that where you're gonna go? You're gonna go to Chonkoville? I think we should go to Chonkov.

SPEAKER_06 33:22

Yeah, let's go to Chonkoville. Okay, so you're gonna sail on the river with this sort of, you know, distasteful mass of bodies in netting on the raft?

SPEAKER_15 33:37

Yeah, just with us.

SPEAKER_03 33:38

Yeah. Should I be drifting in the water behind us? I guess we can get it.

SPEAKER_06 33:41

Drifting.

SPEAKER_15 33:42

Okay. So yeah, we put it in the water, we tie it, so it's like behind it. We're on a bone raft, and there's a netting that has like three bodies.

SPEAKER_06 33:49

So yeah, you're going pretty slow and you check the map and you're heading towards Chonkowille. Yeah. Perfect. Great. So the sun is setting.

SPEAKER_15 33:57

In a hundred meters, turn right.

SPEAKER_05 34:00

It's a magical thing.

SPEAKER_11 34:04

Okay, guys, remember in a hundred meters, turn right.

SPEAKER_06 34:08

Yeah, yeah. The sun is setting, so it's like quite beautiful actually now. Um, the river's again quiet. The reeds are sort of uh uh bustling and blowing in a light breeze. Nice. You're covered in blood. Oh, wait a minute. Yes, that's good.

SPEAKER_11 34:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 34:30

So you're washing up. I don't know if you guys want to have like a little scene of discussing.

SPEAKER_15 34:34

I taste the water as I'm washing my face. I go, guys, we can drink this water. Oh, the water got better. Oh, it's really good.

SPEAKER_02 34:43

Oh, it looks like it actually is flavored with the bones of a raft. It's kind of like a little broth. Yeah, it's like a bone broth. Oh, it's really good.

SPEAKER_11 34:49

Oh, the water back here tastes like turtle blood.

SPEAKER_02 34:52

Oh, let me try. Turtle soup. That's weird.

SPEAKER_15 34:57

So we're to Chonky V Chon Chonkoville. I'm gonna find ourselves a wizard, he's gonna bring these guys back to life, reset everything, that'll be great. And then what are we gonna do after that?

SPEAKER_11 35:06

Here's what I'm thinking. I really liked helping those guys. And I feel like right up until we killed them without mercy, we were doing a great job as helpers. Maybe this is our purpose.

SPEAKER_15 35:20

That's right. Will Pumpkin, I think you're onto something. Like I said earlier, I want to do something selfless, and this might be it. Maybe we can be some sort of therapists. Three-way therapy people.

SPEAKER_11 35:36

Well, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

SPEAKER_15 35:40

Exactly. We went just a bit too far, I'd say. But now we can.

SPEAKER_02 35:44

Maybe we get the wizard to teach us how to bring people back to life, and that's part of our therapy. Is we like therapise them, kill them, bring them back to life with a new life.

SPEAKER_06 35:53

The sun is set now, it's starting to get cold and a little bit darker than sunset.

SPEAKER_02 35:57

Oh crap. The time is still going by.

SPEAKER_15 36:00

Let's do what we always do when it's cold and we all huddle together. Oh god.

SPEAKER_02 36:06

Start a little fire.

SPEAKER_15 36:08

Yeah, it's probably a good idea to start a fire on a bone raft.

SPEAKER_03 36:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 36:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:13

I'm gonna try to start a fire on a roll for a little fire.

SPEAKER_06 36:16

What are you lighting on fire? Um white it.

SPEAKER_02 36:23

Yeah, just let it be. I like little pumpkin in player talks.

SPEAKER_06 36:29

I think you you you the only thing you have are bones and the pile of bodies you're trying to reanimate. Um so I feel like if you're gonna start a fire, you need to pull over and get some some uh Okay, hear me out.

SPEAKER_11 36:40

We light the bodies on fire. But once we get to the wizard, we'll be able to undo it all.

SPEAKER_15 36:48

That's a great idea. And then if the wizard for some reason can't bring their burnt bodies back to life, they're unidentifiable. That's right. That's right.

SPEAKER_06 36:58

Okay, so you're gonna light the the bodies on fire. Give me a roll.

SPEAKER_03 37:04

I rolled a 16.

SPEAKER_06 37:06

Yeah, yeah. I don't know what uh what do you do you have? They're they're on fire. Do you have somebody to light it? Do you have like you just you have something? I mean I'll allow it.

SPEAKER_03 37:14

You must have like some itching powder.

SPEAKER_06 37:16

Um, like oh, there's no sun. Do we use a stick? Uh you rolled a really good roll. I feel like we've done like very you've been on a train, you've been in the sewers, you probably pick something up.

SPEAKER_11 37:28

You know what he could use? His hot, hot hand.

SPEAKER_02 37:32

Oh, good awesome. Oh, yeah, my glowing hand is a good thing. That's a great idea.

SPEAKER_06 37:36

So you're trying to light a fire, and as you're sort of like using exerting effort, suddenly your glowing hand lights up and that's cool.

SPEAKER_02 37:49

Cool. My hand. It made fire. It didn't even hurt.

unknown 37:54

Whoa, good.

SPEAKER_02 37:55

Good thing I didn't touch me collywodger with that wall. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 38:00

You would have to.

SPEAKER_02 38:02

Made it look more like a burnt matchstick than it already does.

SPEAKER_11 38:05

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:09

We wouldn't want your collywager ruined. So you've got you've got a fire now. Uh it's it's you've litten up your way a little bit, so you can see the river's coming to sort of a a fork in the river, if you will. There's like one of those signs with all the different arrows pointing every which way. Wizardopolis. You're going to Chonk Chonkoville? Chonco Town. Chonkoville. Chonkowille?

SPEAKER_03 38:31

Chonkoville.

SPEAKER_06 38:31

There's a few other arrows, and so you get to the sign. And had you not lit the fire, you might have gone down the wrong way, but you're able to look. You can now make your decision which tributary to go down.

SPEAKER_15 38:42

The map says turn right on the tributary to Chonkoville.

SPEAKER_06 38:45

Well, yeah, I forgot.

SPEAKER_14 38:46

You have a talking map, so it wouldn't matter.

SPEAKER_15 38:51

So we kind of yeah, we angle towards Choncoville.

SPEAKER_06 38:54

Okay, that's because you you can change your decision now if you want to go any other direction. No, we're gonna plan our own. Yeah, what is it, Will?

SPEAKER_11 39:02

I just noticed something about the word Wizardopolis. What is it now? Oh, I've got a brother named Doppolis.

SPEAKER_15 39:14

Do you think your brother Dopoulos lives in Wizardop? Oh, it's Wizardopolis. I don't know.

SPEAKER_11 39:22

It just made me It just made me think of that.

SPEAKER_02 39:25

Oh, that's interesting. That's cute.

SPEAKER_11 39:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:28

Do you have any siblings named Wizard?

SPEAKER_11 39:30

No.

SPEAKER_02 39:31

Alright.

SPEAKER_06 39:33

Anyway. Anyway. So you just keep going to your Choncoville? Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 39:40

Choncoville.

SPEAKER_06 39:43

Um, so it's gonna take you till morning to get there.

SPEAKER_03 39:46

Alright.

SPEAKER_06 39:47

Okay, so I don't know how you want to structure this, but you can all sleep at the same time. One of you can guide it, you can do in turns, you know what I mean? But it's a significant distance. It's not right right here. You're gonna have to travel, travel for many hours to get to Chunkoville.

SPEAKER_11 40:03

My brother Dopoulos was such a good boy. Yeah, tell me about him. He was always so nice to me. Anytime I was overwhelmed by the trials of being a child, he'd stand up for me and he he'd uh challenge my bowies.

SPEAKER_15 40:22

Hey, are you telling me that something might have happened to Dopolis? He was killed. What happened? I'm so sorry to hear that.

SPEAKER_11 40:33

He went to war He fought to defend our country.

SPEAKER_02 40:41

Oh yeah, I guess. What was the war? Which one? Which one of the wars?

SPEAKER_15 40:45

Was it the dog war where our country invaded dog London? No, it's America. No. No, it was Australian. Was it the war where Crabopolis was bombed with underwater water bombs?

SPEAKER_11 41:07

No. No, okay.

SPEAKER_15 41:09

What war was it?

SPEAKER_11 41:11

Afghanistan.

SPEAKER_15 41:20

He was defending our country.

SPEAKER_02 41:23

Was he on that carrier with the mission accomplished sign on air?

SPEAKER_11 41:28

Is yeah. Isn't there a type of dog called an Afghan? Is that a type of dog?

SPEAKER_15 41:36

It's also a type of blanket. Yeah. Is it?

SPEAKER_02 41:40

Yeah, it's a big beautiful dog with long hair. Okay.

SPEAKER_11 41:44

So it was let's say uh it's related to Dog London. Oh right.

SPEAKER_15 41:49

It was in the in the province near Dog London is Afghan, the Afghan town, where all the Afghan dogs are.

SPEAKER_09 41:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 42:00

And then and then it's also near and the there's the Stan land too, so it's Afghan and Stan.

SPEAKER_11 42:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 42:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 42:10

He fought there. And he was killed. He was brought down by a do a dog who ripped him to shreds. Bits were sent home for burial. They were delivered. It was vile. It was vile. We had to look at him.

SPEAKER_15 42:34

Yeah. It's rough. That's all right.

SPEAKER_02 42:38

Chain.

SPEAKER_15 42:39

I didn't mean to. I honestly didn't mean to.

SPEAKER_02 42:42

I didn't mean to.

SPEAKER_06 42:44

This is good character development. Let's just say you guys talk all night. Okay. Maybe maybe Chain and um uh Ryan Beale can share a little uh one like sort of um interesting truth about their past. We've heard from Will Pumpkin about his brother who went to war. Maybe Chain and maybe uh Ryan Beale also have one thing to share, and then we'll say that you made it to the city gates of Choncoville.

SPEAKER_11 43:09

The funeral director tried to put makeup on his bits.

SPEAKER_15 43:14

Not good with that too. If it's just parts of him.

SPEAKER_11 43:17

He was just trying to make it look closer to how it looked in life. But it was just ripped up. Well, he was trying to bring out, you know, make the blue go away, make the eyes come back.

unknown 43:31

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_11 43:32

But he made him look too good. And a pervert snuck in and had his way with the big god!

SPEAKER_02 43:40

He's barking up the wrong tree. Oh, I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_10 43:43

You keep saying things that dogs might do. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 43:49

That's not nice. Pervert snuck in. No. Usually the the security's so tied at funerals for perverts.

SPEAKER_05 43:55

Yeah. At military funerals. Okay, so we've we've heard about we've We've heard about that. Let's just hear something from Ryan Beale and from Chain.

SPEAKER_02 44:06

Yeah, well, for me it was tough because, you know, so many years ago, I used to do these pranks that were just too far. I used to snake into military funerals and have my way with the bodies.

SPEAKER_05 44:16

Okay, that's fine.

SPEAKER_06 44:16

We'll take it.

SPEAKER_02 44:17

You know what that reminds me of? Let's hear it, Bill.

SPEAKER_11 44:20

Let's hear it. A pervert doing that to me brother's bits. After we had tried to bury him, but it was an open casket, and his bits looked too good because the funeral director made him up. And then a pervert got in and had his way. And he left and he left of himself on the bit.

SPEAKER_02 44:41

You know that reminds me of this time I went in, there was a guy who looks so bad, but the bits looked so good because the makeup looks so nice. And I couldn't help but leave of myself on a bit. But and he was almost in the ground already.

SPEAKER_04 44:53

Where does leave of funny? Is that like a talking thing? I love it, leave of him.

SPEAKER_11 45:03

Wait a second. What is it? Are you the pervert that left of himself on me, brother?

SPEAKER_02 45:13

Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_11 45:14

Wait a minute, stop.

SPEAKER_15 45:15

Everyone, shut up. What? This reminds me of something. I got in Afghan and I fought alongside a coward named Dopoulos. A coward? How is he a coward? He was a coward. He would run and scream and cry. No. But we were caught into war. We'd go, let's go. And he would run and scream and cry. No. Eventually we had to rip him to shreds instead of going home.

SPEAKER_10 45:51

You guys ripped him to shreds. Wait a second. So my brother went to war with you and he wasn't a hero. He was a coward and you ripped him to shreds, and then he was brought home in an open casket, and the bits were made to look good, and you had sex with the bits left of yourself on him. Oh no. Wow.

SPEAKER_15 46:12

I don't know if it was the same Doppelis.

SPEAKER_06 46:16

This is amazing. This is great. Because OpenD has these character development moments, and you guys really went went there.

SPEAKER_11 46:24

I never want to see you again. You're not my friends. Will, I was a different guy then. Mato, I don't have to do that anymore. I'm taking the bodies. I'll find the wizard.

SPEAKER_02 46:36

I'm going on my um I did already leave myself on the bodies.

unknown 46:42

No!

SPEAKER_02 46:43

I did it one last time! Stop leaving of yourself. Control. Well, they got ripped up so much by somebody. Somebody just ripped them up a whole bunch. Did you rip them up? You ripped them up.

SPEAKER_10 46:54

Oh I ripped them up.

SPEAKER_11 46:55

I ripped them up. Oh, you ripped them up. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 46:58

So as you're talking. And there is a lot of conflict, and that's good for storytelling. That's good. You approach a big ornate. I know it's like the netting, but it's a big ornate gate with a sign that says Choncoville. Nice. Okay. Hey, look. There's three levers to the right, so it's like kind of like what like a lock, you know, would open up or for a canal, you know what I mean? It's like entrance to Choncoville. Is it Choncoville? Am I saying it right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 47:25

Yeah, Choncoville.

SPEAKER_06 47:27

And then there's a sign above the levers.

SPEAKER_15 47:30

What is the signal? Okay, levers. Look, I know we're all a bit at odds. Maybe I'd ripped up your brother, sent him in bits. Maybe Ryan Beal had his way with the bit left of himself. But look, right now we gotta work together, Will. So put yourself together like your brother should have.

SPEAKER_00 47:46

I'm gonna kill you!

unknown 47:47

I'm gonna kill you!

SPEAKER_10 47:49

I roll to kill you!

SPEAKER_02 47:52

Turtle strangle.

SPEAKER_15 47:53

I roll to kill you and I roll an 18. I have to roll to defend myself. Yeah, yeah, you got to defend yourself.

SPEAKER_06 48:02

Oh no, Jane! Okay, so he attacks you and chokes you out, but you're not dead. Ryan Beal, are you able to get in there?

SPEAKER_02 48:11

Yes. I try to use my leaving of myself uh to slipper up um Will Pumpkin's grip.

SPEAKER_06 48:17

You're kidding. What are you doing? I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

SPEAKER_02 48:19

I'm just gonna try and pull Will Pumpkin off of Chain.

SPEAKER_06 48:22

Yes, okay.

SPEAKER_02 48:23

I rolled a six. Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 48:30

I'm drunk out. I'm unconscious.

SPEAKER_06 48:32

You're unconscious, and you're strangling him. So you have a decision, Will Pumpkin. Right now. Do you kill Chain? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 48:44

Oh shit. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_06 48:47

Okay, roll to finish the job.

SPEAKER_10 48:49

I roll to finish the job. I'm so angry, and I roll a 19. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 48:56

Okay. I have to I I feel like in in real DD, you would be doing death saving uh rolls right now, Mark. Uh C. Okay. Which we don't really have. So I'm gonna give you I'm gonna give you three chances to roll um to roll something 19 or higher.

SPEAKER_03 49:16

Let's say when I was trying to pull him off and I failed, I like slipped and fell in the water or something, just so I'm sort of like out of the equation for a bit as this happens.

SPEAKER_06 49:22

Do we all because like I death is always on the table in DD. It's not like video games where you can like, you know what I mean, like get a new life. There's peril that's always around. And it doesn't mean you're not gonna be involved anymore. It just means you would have to create a new character, Mark C.

SPEAKER_02 49:37

Shit.

SPEAKER_06 49:38

But chain would be gone. Yeah. And also, I mean, I know you're also a skeleton, not his ghost, not his skeleton.

SPEAKER_03 49:45

I mean, it could be brought back to life. We're trying to find out.

SPEAKER_15 49:47

Okay, well, so what's the rule? So I'm trying to.

SPEAKER_06 49:48

So I want you to give you three chances to roll a 19. Okay. Or 20. Because that was the or you know what? Three chances roll an 18 or above because 18 is the initial kill roll. So this is rules I'm making up for all the DD heads out there who are gonna be like, this is not the rules, this is not how it works. We're doing DD adjacent for fun, for some excitement. So we're doing rolls with just with D20s, and this is what I've decided. So see what you can do.

SPEAKER_15 50:13

Here's roll number one. Four. Here's roll number two. 17. Oh no. Okay, here's rolling. Now it comes down to this. Here's roll number three. Everybody be quiet.

SPEAKER_02 50:28

Come on, Jane. Here we go.

SPEAKER_15 50:31

13.

SPEAKER_02 50:33

Is that good?

SPEAKER_15 50:34

No.

SPEAKER_02 50:34

13's not enough?

SPEAKER_15 50:35

Oh, it's supposed to be it was supposed to be 18 or above.

SPEAKER_02 50:39

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_11 50:40

Oh no. Chain is dead. What have I done? What have I done? Put him in the net. Put him in the net with the others. I've got to undo what this. What have I done? Wow.

SPEAKER_03 50:54

I'm scared of pumpkin now, so I actually swim to the sh to the sh to the shore. There's like shore still, right, Ryan?

SPEAKER_06 51:00

Yeah, you're in a river. You can walk to the shore.

SPEAKER_03 51:02

Oh, okay. I swim though, but I do that swimming thing where it's like still swimming, but there's like only like a couple inches of water underneath me until I get really close to the edge of the water, and then I just like fully stand up and run out.

SPEAKER_11 51:13

Don't tell anyone what I did. I'll fucking kill you if you tell anyone what I did.

SPEAKER_02 51:17

And I grab my genitals and I'm like, no, I'm a mouth! And I try to run away. I don't know. Is he is he chasing me or do I run? Yeah, I'm rolling to kill you. He's gonna kill all of us.

SPEAKER_11 51:30

Okay, so I rolled an 11.

SPEAKER_06 51:34

No, so you don't. You don't ch you don't catch up and you don't you aren't able to catch him. He gets away from you.

SPEAKER_11 51:39

Oh god. Damn bitch. Dumb bitch.

SPEAKER_15 51:45

I'm dead.

SPEAKER_06 51:46

Okay, I feel like this is a uh a good place to to stop. Yeah, I would think so. Because we've killed for real forever. Chain is gone. Not necessarily forever. Well, yes, we're trying to bring back chain. We're gonna have now I what we do when I play DD when a character uh actually dies, is that player gets to uh create and have a fun new character to play that becomes part of the story. So Mark C is not gone, and then Chain might not be gone too, if we are able to find a wizard in Chonkville to bring these uh people back to life. This is a heavy episode. Also, Will Pumpkin tried to chase but failed uh Ryan Beal. Ryan Beale is gone. So the a great cliffhanger, the group is separated um uh those who are living still by death and by distance. Thank you much.

SPEAKER_15 52:39

That's the name of this episode by death and by distance.

SPEAKER_06 52:41

Well, can we quickly see uh you guys could be my kids and uh just a little uh uh tail the beaver, the beaver tail.

SPEAKER_15 52:49

SPEAKER_04 54:22

What the dick? What does that mean? Okay, okay. Wow. Another crazy wild session of Nightmare Party.

SPEAKER_15 54:36

Oh my god. Truly a nightmare this episode.

SPEAKER_06 54:39

Yeah, this one was a wild. I do love that about DD. I love that the characters you play can die forever. So hopefully we can bring Chain back. We've come to know, we've come to love Chain. But these decisions we make are final in DD, and that's what's fun about it for me. Yeah. That's what creates interesting story, the roller coaster ride of life. And sometimes the dice aren't on your side. Yeah. But sometimes they are, and you kill two cool NPCs. Fuck.

SPEAKER_02 55:07

They were. That's one of the times I was really counting on to roll low, and all of us are like 18, 19, 18, 19, over and over.

SPEAKER_06 55:14

Yeah, you beat that guy to death. Anyways, crushed a scar. You're you're you're on you're on the precipice of Choncoville. You're trying to get these uh and maybe it'll all work out. Okay, maybe that'll be the end of this chapter, and everyone will come back to life. Yeah. Chain.

SPEAKER_12 55:30

And we can go on to our to our journey of um helping people as traveling therapists. Exactly. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 55:36

That's that's hopeful. And then next episode, we'll see what happens to Ryan Beale. We'll see if Ryan Beale and Will Pumpkin meet back up. We'll see if Will Pumpkin is the one that is the only one that takes the bodies into Choncoville to try to resurrect them. And we'll see what cool new character Mark C gets to play, even if just for like a little chapter. You know what I mean? Until uh Chain might get resurrected, or maybe he never will, but we'll have a new fun idea that you will bring to the table, Mark C, um, for the next episode of Nightmare Party. Thanks for joining us. We love you. Get up, get up on Init.
