Jake table talk

What's up, Craig? What's up, motherfucker?

Rich

All right. Does anybody want to try and go through this wall? or painting.

Ozan

Wait, did Jake come to me as a bat?

Jake

Yeah, I'm on my way in parentheses.

Pat table talk

Did I what?

Ozan

Jake, get to me at that.

Pat

Yeah, Jake's going towards you.

Jake

And like I said, if Ozan ever sees a falcon or a camel or maybe a gorilla with backwards feet, they know it's

Ozan

Yeah, I mean, I'm not really expecting to find a bat in Spider Heaven, man.

Pat table talk

How the fuck would he know that's you?

Jake table talk

Well, no, because I have backward feet. And so...

Pat table talk

But does he know that?

Ozan

Yeah, it's just this thing. Yeah, I've seen him before.

Jake table talk

Yeah. Yeah, I have backwards feet.

Pat table talk

Duh.

Ozan table talk

It's very hard to understand, extremely difficult.

Jake table talk

No, that's what I'm saying. It's not hard for me to stand at all.

Jake table talk

Because I was raised on backwards feet, bro. I'm good on them.

Ozan table talk

There must be some physical limitations to walking backwards all the time.

Pat table talk

No, but you just always got that gangsta on you.

Ozan table talk

All right, well, I mean, yeah, you said you're a bat. It doesn't even matter which direction your feet are.

Pat table talk

You say that, put that backwards.

Jake

Yeah. Basically, all you see is a falcon fly to you and then just grab on your arm or on the ship bow.

Ozan table talk

Oh my god, this falcon has backwards feet. I know someone who has backwards feet. Wow, you guys should meet. Start a club.

Rich table talk

Yeah, you and that falcon.

Jake table talk

I'll start with soup.

Pat table talk

Mm-hmm.

Pat table talk

Dude, it must have been my favorite food. It's so good.

Ozan table talk

soup is your favorite food?

Pat table talk

This suit.

Ozan table talk

You guys are hyping it up. I want something too.

Pat table talk

Dude, this fucking magic soup guy.

Jake table talk

dude it's something to hype up like dude and especially for me it was on food fucking matter it tasted good depending on the texture and or warmth like it's all the fucking that soup it's something to make no

Rich table talk

Fucking soup, dude.

Pat table talk

Okay, so what are you guys doing? Where are you at?

Pat

Jake, you're at the boat.

Donnie table talk

good he did

Jake

I give a squawk to Ozone and then point him in the direction and I get on his shoulder.

Ozan

So you get on my shoulder, does it do you make like point to a direction?

Jake

No, I literally, I caught your face. four or five times and then i give you a gesture

Ozan table talk

Yeah, what? I can speak any language, man. Just talk to me.

Jake

Well then understanding in H.O.K., I say, I say, kill two demons, party's waiting for you, shit happened.

Rich table talk

Ha

Rich table talk

Oh, God.

Ozan

Let's go. Which way?

Jake

Not only do I hold out my wing, but I fold like four or five feathers to actually give me the gun pointer of the wing. And then I hop on...

Pat

Okay, you are now following Rich, for better or for worse.

Ozan

Are they coming back here or are we going to go there?

Rich

I'm just gonna sit tight until Donnie gets back.

Pat table talk

Go ahead and zoom out, Ozan. I moved you to the room.

Ozan

Oh wait, are they coming back here or are we going there?

Jake

Ozon, you're in the room. In this room, there is a slope up into a giant circle. And there are two dead demonic entities with no horns. And one of them has a gaped asshole. And one of them is also missing a... whip. And then in the middle of the floor, there's a hatch that's opening up down probably about like 10 feet in diameter with stone pillars.

Pat

Nope, it's about four inches in diameter.

Jake table talk

Four inches of memory.

Pat table talk

Small.

Rich

And if you can fly, there are paintings up here about 30, 40 feet up or something like that. And I've produced some of their portals.

Ozan

If I can fly.

Rich

I fly him up to show him the paintings. See?

Ozan table talk

They added beautiful paintings.

Pat table talk

We're very well done.

Rich

I'm pretty sure they're portals.

Jake

I've I flap my wings thusly with Richard.

Ozan

Can I do detect magic on them?

Pat

Sure.

Ozan

And then what happens?

Pat

They're very magical, all three of them.

Ozan

And then can I do Arcana?

Rich

There is a...

Pat

You can.

Jake

these are magic.

Pat

You are also fairly certain that there are portals.

Pat

One of them looks like it leads to a jail cell. One of them looks like it leads to a big, shiny, colorful wall. One of them looks like it leads to a bar.

Ozan

Which way are we going?

Rich

Well, weighing this shiny colorful wall is one thing. whimsy walls are dangerous and this particular setup has like the list we're using for our whimsy wall is awfully mean I know at least two of us don't have

Ozan

How many points do I have?

Rich

Fucking five.

Pat

Everyone else has zero.

Rich

Yeah, we're apparently running it real ragged.

Jake

I Cast. two heels on... Ozone.

Ozan

On me? I don't think I'm hurt. Am I hurt? Oh, I am hurt.

Jake

You have five hit points, bro.

Pat

No.

Ozan

I have had points. I have points.

Pat

No, five fate points.

Jake

Oh, five fake points. Okay. My bad.

Ozan

Yeah. I do need to heal, though. I forgot.

Pat

Because of that heel, you gain 1d8 fate points.

Rich table talk

Ha

Ozan table talk

sleep points.

Jake table talk

Don't do that. How dare you? Don't do that. That's rude. That's money around here, man. I'll jack you for a fake point if it was real.

Rich table talk

Give them to me.

Pat table talk

I was looking

Ozan table talk

everything Pat says is canon.

Jake table talk

Channing. Channing is locked.

Rich

depending on how confident you feel with spending potentially a fate point or two, there's this wall to investigate.

Ozan

OK, where are you guys going?

Jake

I heal you for 33. And then I flap to Richard's shoulder, and then I start going through his hair and grooming him in search of Paris.

Rich table talk

That's the thing is Donovan's

Ozan table talk

Hey, guys.

Rich

so afraid to touch it but i think i'm gonna poke the painting

Ozan

Where are we going?

Rich

I think I'm going to poke the painting.

Ozan table talk

I think, Pat, did you hear that?

Pat

Yeah, which painting?

Ozan

Which one do you think?

Rich

The whimsical one.

Rich

I'm just afraid. I'm afraid there are very real costs.

Pat

You poke the painting.

Pat

You poked your painting?

Ozan table talk

I think that's what he said.

Pat

Your finger goes into the painting and you start seeing like a

Pat

around your finger and it looks like you could jump through the painting if you desired

Jake table talk

Good God.

Jake table talk

just finger the painting a little bit. It hurts at first, it feels good.

Ozan table talk

Why don't you put your fist through it?

Rich table talk

That's Jake's thing.

Pat table talk

That's a drop right there, Ozon.

Jake table talk

Ha

Rich table talk

Oh,

Pat table talk

Can't you put your fist here?

Jake table talk

Fuck that shit. I go beak in, bro. Fuck that. Go beak in first. I don't give a fuck. In the heat of passion.

Pat

I just, you know, I just move my finger gently around the rim.

Jake table talk

to gently around.

Rich

I'm not going into that multicolored painting. I'd like to check out the painting with the

Rich

the cozy room, the one that looks like it's their base.

Pat

Okay, so this painting looks like it has a bunch of portals and patrons all around. It's very colorful. Yeah.

Rich

Patrons?

Pat

Yeah. Patrons and bartending. It just looks like a colorful bar.

Rich

Then no, I don't want to go in that one, I don't think. I don't know. I don't trust any of this shit. I need somebody else to help me decide. I am crippled with indecision.

Jake table talk

In the dark.

Rich

Help!

Pat

In the jail cell, you see what looks to be an old man or an old figure sitting alone in a cell. And it's a very dark and gloomy painting.

Jake

That painting sounds awesome, dude. That guy sounds like he's got a lot of shit to say.

Rich

It does look like he's got a lot of shit to say.

Rich

Thoughts?

Jake

I mean, he's just sad and alone, dude. Let's go fucking, let's go cheer him up and then immediately leave.

Rich

That's how you get trapped. That's how you get trapped in a fucking jail cell painting, though.

Jake

That's exactly what you're trapped in a jail cell. I'm the old wizard. I took your stole. I was waiting for a genie to rub this fucking lamp.

Ozan

But, you know, you never know until you try.

Pat

I touched the painting a long time ago.

Rich

You know, you have the big points. I think if you're so convinced of that, you should give that a try.

Jake

Fuck no, I don't have the fake point fucking economy to do that shit.

Pat

I've got the big points to try my dumb ass shit.

Jake

The pay point economy is real.

Rich

In fact, Ozan, you need to be leading the charge. Everyone else here is going to be too frightened to move on.

Ozan

Well, I'll ask Captain.

Pat

Hey, Jeff, you got your character made yet?

Jmarcyes

Because the one I wanted to make didn't transfer over very easily.

Pat

What do you guys do?

Ozan

Is Donnie coming back?

Rich

Well, am I still holding ozone?

Ozan

You're holding me?

Pat

Yeah, he was lifting you up so you could see the paintings.

Rich

I was Louis. It's like 30 feet there.

Ozan

Oh, okay. I see.

Jake

Pat, I...

Rich

You want to go through with me, Ozone? We'll just take a leap of faith, go right into the multicolored one.

Jake

I stick one feather joint into the whimsy wall.

Ozan

Let's wait for Donnie.

Pat

Your feather goes through the painting, makes a sound that feels like you could jump right in.

Jake

I jump right in.

Jmarcyes table talk

Haha!

Ozan

All right, I guess let's go.

Pat

Jake, you have, you see blinding colors as you fly through the painting and through a wall of color. And as you fly through the wall of color, what do you guys, everyone else do?

Ozan

I do the same. I go in.

Rich

And I guess I take Donovan and myself and we're going to go in with it.

Ozan

Wait, I can't fly, man. I need your help to go in.

Rich

I fly Donovan and you. I fly the team in. Well, we fly together.

Pat

Just... And you throw him in.

Jake

Throw them in Rich, throw them in.

Rich

Fly on together.

Jake

Ain't nothing like going through a whimsy wall against your will.

Jmarcyes table talk

Ha.

Pat table talk

laughter

Rich

Donovan wasn't here to declare his will.

Ozan

He said he could move him. He explicitly said he could move him.

Pat

I need, as everyone gets tumbled around in this whimsical wall of color and light,

Jake

washing machine of whimsy walls, dude. Fuck that.

Ozan

She's going to roll death.

Pat

I need a D1000 roll from each of you. Starting with the first one who went through, Jake.

Jake

That's going to be role...

Jake

Space.

Rich

That's a 535 for whenever it does come up.

Pat

The...

Pat

Okay, Jake got a 535.

Jake table talk

That's rich.

Rich

goes on.

Ozan

I hope that's good.

Rich

That is so...

Jake

That's 999, bro. so what's that what's the script it's roll d slash

Rich

That is so good.

Jake

What is it?

Ozan

Pat, can you please tell me what thousand is?

Rich

Donnie, see you 1,000.

Pat

Oh my god, Ozan. That's an amazing role. Or a terrible one.

Rich table talk

Yeah, no, Ozan, you're about to be a wealthy player.

Jake

Rich, what's the, what's the D script?

Rich

slash RD1000.

Rich

Oh, God. Donnie, roll it.

Donnie table talk

The Wednesday wall?

Rich table talk

Whimsy wall.

Pat

Alright, Jake, your intelligence increases by two.

Jake

No. I can't figure it out.

Pat table talk

Oh, Richard. That's Richard.

Rich

Oh my goodness, that is just wonderful.

Jake

Is it slash R space D.

Jake

One, zero.

Pat

And that's permanent.

Rich table talk

Well, fuck.

Pat table talk

I'm going to save Ozons for last, I think.

Rich table talk

Yeah, because that's going to be – that is the nutty circumstance, but not –

Rich table talk

False.

Jake table talk

I know. Good. Donnie, I'm glad you got less than me.

Jake table talk

Donnie, I'm calling a missing limb right now.

Rich

I'm sorry, darling. There was a lot of indecision. There was fright. And then Jake jumped in. And then Ozdan was going to jump in. And I brought us both in.

Donnie table talk

Don't do it.

Donnie

I got zero fate points. Let's see what happens.

Jake table talk

Let's see what happens. Maybe you join us roll these guys.

Rich

I got none of us have fate points. Ozone's the only person who has fate points and he doesn't need them.

Jake table talk

Yeah, he doesn't need him. He doesn't need him at all. I'm gonna fucking barter these fake ones right now.

Jake

dude i was on me at 171.

Rich

You grow a tumor that speaks to you.

Pat table talk

Who's next?

Pat

Ozon's waiting until the end. We got 171 for Jaco.

Pat

You gain the ability to re-roll any future Whimsy Roll once.

Jmarcyes table talk

Ha!

Rich

Fuck yeah. That's a specialized point and that's going to come in handy.

Jake

Dude, that came in handy right now. Dude, can I re-roll this bitch? What's good? I'm ready to roll these fucking bones. I'm ready to roll these bones.

Pat

Yep. Yes, you can. Damn right.

Jmarcyes table talk

laughter

Donnie table talk

That's it.

Rich

Man, I don't know if that's the best way to do this. That's not a...

Ozan

Wait, do you arm actually? Oh shit, that's cool.

Pat

I use it immediately.

Ozan table talk

It's awesome.

Ozan

Wait, but does he lose it if he re-rolls it?

Ozan

Per asteriki

Pat

139.

Jake

220.

Pat

You learn three new languages of your choice.

Jake table talk

Sick.

Pat

You don't have to choose now. You can choose later.

Rich

Okay, so what's, oh, Donnie.

Donnie

We're at 139.

Pat

Donovan 139.

Pat

Wait, did you both go 1-3-9?

Donnie

No, J-Cat 171.

Pat

Oh, Donnie, you got the language one.

Rich table talk

All right. Well, it wasn't bad, Donnie.

Pat

No, one... And then, Jake, you got 220.

Donnie

That would have been me.

Pat

And you can ask a divine source the answer to your next dilemma.

Jake

to my next i couldn't hear that last part alignment

Pat

You can ask a divine source for the answer of your next dilemma.

Ozan table talk

call it for and accept with God.

Pat

Basically, it's a commune with a deity.

Rich

Yeah, call God and ask your question.

Jake table talk

With a deity. Talking with a deity. Perfect. That's so fucking good. I know the exact person to call.

Donnie table talk

hit God with that as your lifeline, you know?

Jmarcyes table talk

Go for it.

Ozan table talk

Like whenever you've been lonely, just be like, hey, Dawnflower, how you doing, baby?

Jake table talk

Just be like, hey, don't.

Jake

Does it go both ways? Does that...

Pat

It's only usable once, so you might want to just ask something more important than how's it going.

Jake

I know, but does it go... Is it a two-way call? Like, can that deity just be like, you guys are fucking up and stop masturbating so much? Like, is it like...

Rich

dilemma, like, we've run into the dilemma that we don't know how to operate our own ship. Could Jake or

Jake table talk

No, that's fine. That's because that's all the time. I can't. This isn't a house call. No, it's perfect. No, I got it. Thank you.

Rich

Well, no, like that would that count?

Jake

No, those count. Those count. I get, I get, and wait, it's, okay, so if macking and chit-talking is a free action, is praying a free action? It has to be.

Rich

Pretty sure.

Ozan

of course.

Jake table talk

I mean, I'm praying right now.

Rich table talk

Do we want to contact Nutty and see if he wants to get in on this real quick?

Jake table talk

Nettie will not get in on this.

Ozan table talk

He wouldn't? If everyone did it, he would. Wouldn't he?

Jmarcyes

I'm doing the character master shit right now so I can hop in.

Jake table talk

Willing, willingly. Are you willing to throw Nutty into the floozy wall? Because, I mean, I'm not.

Rich table talk

Not at all. I mean, contact him and see if he wants to, like, rope.

Jake table talk

I mean...

Ozan table talk

I don't think it's on.

Pat

I know. I'm still trying to figure this one out. This is a weird one.

Pat table talk

Yeah, I'm going to need to take five while I research what the fuck this whimsy wall roll just did me. Okay, hold on.

Ozan table talk

Deep to you.

Pat

It's good. It's good. It's just not what it did to me. It's just a big one.

Rich

You should list it off to us together.

Pat

It's actually one small line item.

Jake table talk

No, yeah, it's one sentence that's fucking dope.

Pat table talk

It's just one sentence and just give me a minute.

Jake

Wait, what happened? Didn't Nutty roll the D-1000 on accident, though? Didn't he roll the...

Ozan

share that sentence.

Rich

So he rolled one, he rolled a slash R 1000.

Rich

And one of the effects is roll again. And then he did it again and we noticed.

Jake table talk

Yeah, because there was no way he hit one D-1000 tomorrow.

Rich table talk

That was one of the grandest team disappointments we've ever shared.

Jake table talk

That is true. That is true. I remember that. All of our hearts sing. I've never... Yeah. 1,000 chance twice. Are you shitting me? I disbelieved it immediately.

Rich table talk

well-trained

Jake table talk

That's right.

Rich table talk

Sadness.

Jake table talk

I remember I know that one that one is recorded. I remember all of us screaming at Nettie to go buy a lottery ticket, especially Ozone.

Rich table talk

Actually, I'm trying to think if we've even had a whimsy wall since then.

Jake table talk

I think our last one was Over the Boat.

Jake table talk

This campaign's been going on for a fucking year, dude.

Rich table talk

Yeah, but I think that was the one. I think that last time was the one we just chose to sail the boat through it.

Jmarcyes table talk

Wimsy walls are my crack, I'm really trying to finish this shit up.

Rich table talk

Jeff's just losing his shit over there thinking like, what if they beat the dungeon before my character's in? And it's just gone.

Jake table talk

Jeff, there will be another one. Make sure your character is fine.

Jmarcyes

Do I do I do rule d4 d6 drop lowest?

Pat table talk

Okay, Ozon.

Ozan table talk

Okay.

Ozan table talk

Pat's got to tell me what happened.

Pat table talk

I got to tell him something.

Jake

Go to the second room.

Pat

A small, innocuous black wooden box appears in your hands.

Rich

No.

Rich

Okay.

Ozan table talk

That's all? Is that the end of that sentence?

Pat table talk

That is the end of that sentence that I'm going to give you.

Jake

good roll man nice black wooden box is it ordinate what is it made from the ottoman century what do we got here

Pat

Did you look at it?

Rich

Oh my...

Jmarcyes table talk

Ha.

Ozan

Oh, yeah, I wasn't sure if you were done. Yeah, I inspect closely. Does it open?

Jake table talk

Antique Roadshow, the shit out of this box.

Pat

Is Ozen the only one that inspects it or who else inspects the box?

Rich

1

Jake

I get my fucking nose in it.

Pat

Everyone who is inspecting the box, make me a DC 30 will save.

Rich

Jesus. We're about to die.

Jmarcyes table talk

Hahaha.

Jake

What was that? I couldn't hear you, Pat. I wasn't experimenting with the box at all.

Pat

I need everyone to make a DC 30 will save who looks at the box.

Jake

looks at the box.

Ozan

DC 30, my goodness.

Rich

30. Nailed it.

Jake table talk

Curious Falcon

Pat

Ozan and Rich, you both have no issue with looking at the box. It looks like a small box.

Rich

Holy crap.

Jmarcyes table talk

you both

Rich table talk

Is this like 999 is like you get the solution to your campaign and ours is like we just got the lich's heart like right here?

Jake

Jake, however,

Rich table talk

Ha.

Pat

Okay, Jake, you are compelled to touch the box.

Jake

That's fine. I don't touch the box then.

Pat

You are compelled to touch the box. That was what the will save was.

Rich

Jake says no.

Rich

He's not gonna touch the box.

Pat

Jake touches the box. Roll me a DC 30 will save again. Now that you've touched the box.

Rich

God.

Pat

Unless Ozon doesn't allow you to touch the box.

Ozan

I mean, how is he touching it? Is he trying to grab it or just like poke it?

Pat

After the first will save, he reaches out to touch it.

Ozan

I mean, if he's trying to grab it, are we talking touch, like point touch or grab touch?

Rich

It's not the same thing. How it's centralized.

Jake

I mean, I was on best move, best move you have right now. He doesn't know the contents of the box. I'm just saying he sees me going out reaching for it. If not, we'd have to roll initiative.

Ozan

I kind of pull it away from him. He's like, what are you doing?

Pat table talk

All right, Romy.

Rich table talk

Anishinav.

Pat

Yeah, roaming initiative, guys.

Ozan

Okay. I mean, I don't like yanking away from him.

Jake

Or it's as high.

Rich table talk

Oh god, we got Sauron's ring!

Pat

Jake, you reach out to touch the box.

Rich table talk

I don't trust anything that requires a DC-30 fucking will save. That's never... Oh, no.

Jake

Oh, shit. I touched the box.

Pat

Drake touches the box.

Donnie

I think with whimsy walls, it's better to roll low.

Jake table talk

No way.

Rich table talk

I don't know. That D1000 we confirmed is one of the glorious

Ozan

What happens when Jake touches a box?

Pat

Jake, you are compelled to use any available means, including freeing from or murdering your loved ones to keep that box in the hands of others.

Ozan

In the or out of the head?

Jake table talk

One more time, Pat. You broke up a little bit there, buddy.

Pat

You are compelled by any means, including fleeing from or murdering your friends and loved ones, to keep the box out of the hands of others.

Pat

You're cursed by the box.

Rich

Wow.

Jake

out of the hands of others.

Pat table talk

Yes.

Ozan

like out of my hand.

Rich

You just hit it with my precious love for that box.

Jake

I go for a grab.

Pat

At any moment, if you are more than 10 feet from the box, let me know.

Rich

shit. I think that's your box now. That's a terrible box. I hate that box.

Jake

go for a grab on Ozon.

Pat

Ozon, do you do anything with the box?

Ozan

So he's grabbing it for me?

Pat

You have it in your hands. He's he touched it. The power of the box overcame him. And now he's trying to get it from you.

Ozan

Okay, I'm like, oh, hold on.

Rich

compels him.

Ozan

And then

Jake

That's my true C and B rule as a Falcon, my bad. Not the 30, but the 22.

Pat

Kep, what's your CMD? Also, it's your turn, Ozone, because you guys rolled initiative. Jake went. He touched the box. He went crazy. And now it's your turn before that.

Rich

What's going on here?

Pat

You dominate person?

Jake

I'm a bird.

Pat

It's true. He is a bird. He's not a humanoid.

Ozan

Wait, but does he not have a humanoid finder or is he just like an actual bird?

Pat

He's just shape-changed right now. Does it work like that?

Rich

Just out of curiosity, how do item distance requirement things work with extra dimensional spaces? Like if that were put in a bag.

Rich

but it's how far away does it immediately travel?

Ozan

Wait, so dominant person wouldn't work on what you're saying?

Jake

That's a tough one. I'm going to do this. I mean, we could look it up and we could rule split right now, but I think it's up to fucking past discretion. I do have a humanoid mind inside of the body.

Pat

So really.

Rich

Because he's a fucking falcon. It wouldn't work on him right now.

Pat

You can control the actions of any humanoid creature Because he has a humanoid mind? Yes, it does. I just read that.

Jake

Yeah.

Rich table talk

Peace.

Pat

It does work as long as that spell pops off and he makes this doesn't make a save.

Ozan

The save is level 4 DC 19, I think.

Jake

Oh, that's another CMB role. Oh, excuse me.

Pat table talk

We'll say.

Ozan

person probably

Rich table talk

So 999 is not a good roll anymore, we found.

Pat table talk

Okay, I'm not sure.

Pat table talk

No, it could have been a good one. It is a good one. It's a really good fucking thing. It's just... There's just a lot of major artifacts out there for me to roll onto.

Donnie table talk

Mm-hmm.

Pat

Basically, 999 is... the character, a major artifact appears in front of the character and they just rolled up a major artifact and that was the one.

Rich table talk

Wow. All right.

Rich

While there's all debacles happening around me, can I roll to identify?

Rich

Would that be our comment?

Jake

I, well then combat maneuver goes, it stays. I grab Ozon and try to, I grab him with my talents and I try to like push him away from the box.

Pat

Okay, so you made your reflex save. You push him away from the box. Rich, you don't know what it is. Ozon, you immediately recognize it as an apocalypse box. As the apocalypse box. There's only one distance.

Rich

What? What?

Rich

I don't know what it is, but that's a terrifying sentence. Oh, you have the apocalypse box.

Ozan

Do I know what it does?

Pat table talk

Yeah, let me post it.

Ozan table talk

Oh, I see. It's on the website.

Rich table talk

Oh, Jesus.

Rich

I think he just became a powerful demigod somehow.

Ozan

Wow, that's fucking crazy. Once per day, the curse...

Rich table talk

It sounds like you're holding like a nuke.

Ozan

all more than

Rich table talk

I know, dude, it's called the apocalypse box. I feel like that's basically holding a nuke.

Ozan table talk

No, it's not.

Ozan

It's basically once a day you get whatever item you want

Jake table talk

Don't ruin it.

Ozan

there's a 50% chance that you get a wish instead.

Jake

I keep it on the down low. We don't know what the apocalypse box is.

Pat table talk

That's true. You guys don't just those on this.

Rich

No idea.

Ozan

I give it to Jake and I explain to him what the box does.

Jake

And then... I'd say Ozon, roll for a tumble check or be pushed off the fucking circle.

Ozan

No, I give it to you. All you care about is you want the mocks. I give it to you, and I tell you about it.

Rich

You just have to keep it away from all others. This is now your forever mission.

Pat

As you hand it to him, you're like, this small black box appears randomly throughout the multiverse.

Jake

Ha.

Pat

It is strong to great heroes.

Jake

I take it. I take it in my talents and then I fly out the door immediately back to the ship.

Rich

I'm going to use one of my castings of teleport to grab Ozon and Donovan and teleport Well, no, we can't. I wouldn't know where he was going. Stupid. Sorry. Stoner moment.

Ozan

Each day you must do a will save or be compelled to open it.

Donnie table talk

Dude, this is fucking weird.

Pat

It increases by two each day that it isn't opened.

Rich

when it's open.

Donnie

So if you open it, you can pull any non-magical item out of it. that you desire but there's a 50 chance that instead of that you summon horrific monsters

Ozan table talk

and you can use it to kill a golden dragon.

Rich

one week before returning to their...

Jake table talk

Dude, them's the Vegas odds, baby.

Rich

Whoa, wait, are you saying this implements time?

Jake table talk

Come on, man. You're ruining it. You're ruining it.

Rich

Like one week before returning to their plane of origin. Oh, for one week. Nevermind. damn it it's like what like retroactively insert a monster

Ozan

Wait, so what happened was I basically walked through this thing. I got what I recognized as the apocalypse box. And I saw Jake basically coming to try to grab it for me. And I knew what was going on, so I gave it to him. And I started explaining to him, and he just booked it.

Jake

And this is what the role is. It's basically you pulled, you had the apocalypse box in your hands. I looked at it and was immediately compelled to touch it.

Ozan table talk

Yeah, I know.

Jake

touched it and then I got the sensation that I need to keep this out of everybody's hands I rolled the CMB checked and pushed it away from you grabbed the box and now I'm currently hurrying and flying back to the ship

Ozan

paranoid stuck.

Jake

Yeah, paranoid.

Rich

We should go after him. So chase after Jake.

Ozan

I dimension door. Actually, no, I can't because I use dominate person. Never mind. Yeah, I go after him.

Pat

All right, they'll go after you, Jake.

Rich

Where are you going? It's okay. You don't have to run.

Pat

We still love you.

Donnie table talk

Interesting. So the...

Rich

I don't want your box. It's okay.

Jake

I'm sorry. I didn't want your box. Oh no, of course I didn't.

Jake

Bet you didn't know.

Donnie table talk

Dude, the list of monsters summoned is pretty terrifying.

Jake table talk

See, it's why you can't fucking give out the deets.

Donnie table talk

He explained it all. Ozone knows everything.

Ozan table talk

I mean,

Ozan table talk

Pat said the name. All you have to do is Google it.

Jake

Fuck that dude. What happened to the mystery man?

Pat

The reason I said the name is because he rolled the knowledge 30 whatever the fuck and it was what it is.

Jake table talk

Okay, that's fine then.

Donnie table talk

That's the only reason I looked it up.

Ozan table talk

a fucking apocalypse box.

Pat table talk

I've read about this shit in like three old ass books.

Rich table talk

I'm going to have to go look at the list of creatures because I think we're going to go up and exile you every time you do that.

Pat

Jake's like, I don't know what it is, but I know I want it.

Rich

Because I don't want to be...

Ozan

Do not get away from that box.

Jake

I did it against my will. You guys are acting like I chose to do it.

Ozan

I don't know why you ran away, though, because basically you can't hide that box. You have to keep it with you.

Donnie table talk

We don't know that you did that against the Royal Jig.

Jake

True. But I mean, at the same time, I am I am compelled. Apparently my compulsions got the better of me yet again.

Ozan

But, you know, I bet you're compelled to keep people away from the gold that you have on your person.

Jake

Listen, Ozone, I tried to stop my compulsions.

Jake

Let me tell you, I failed.

Ozan table talk

Chill out. That's a good thing. You won the lottery here.

Jake table talk

Some compulsions you shouldn't, you shouldn't, yeah. Yeah, I mean, if you can feel compelled to poop, for God's sakes, poop, you know? If you're compelled to open up the magic box of space and time and fuck the whole world, well then God damn it. You don't want to hold that in.

Ozan table talk

You should open it up. That's exactly what you should do. You should open it up. You should open it up and draw forth a single item that your heart desires.

Donnie

Non-magical.

Rich

And then, you know, roll the 50-50 of a few instead, you get a... Monster.

Jake

And keeping it canon, the only thing I truly want is my Allisaur. back out of hand. It's not an item, though. It's a creature. So...

Ozan table talk

I mean, at the Bay Leeds, just draw like 50,000 goals.

Pat

What do you guys do?

Jake

I'm just an ancient, long-lost druid searching for his reptile pony. That's basically it. I'm a simple man. Simple needs. Backwards feet.

Pat

So what you got to do?

Rich

Well, we eventually caught Jake.

Rich

He's going to the ship.

Jake

I got a fly speed of 60 feet.

Rich

I got a fly speed of 40s, but...

Jake

Or 80 feet, 80 feet, excuse me. Yeah, I go into my quarters in the ship.

Pat

Do you stop when you're at the ship, Jake?

Pat

All right, you're in your quarters in the ship. Everyone else, you arrive at the ship.

Jake

I'm still a bird.

Pat

So you're a bird holding the box on your talons?

Rich

Ha.

Pat

You're all at the boat.

Rich

Go towards Jake's quarters.

Pat

You're at Jake's Quarters.

Jake

Now I'm stuck in the quarters and Pandora's box I hold.

Ozan

Hey, can you please open up that box and grab me a bottle of scotch?

Jake

Ozone, why is that working on me? I mean, real life right now, that works on me. Jake, come out of your room. I got a bottle of scotch. We need to hash this shit out.

Ozan table talk

I think it's just because it's a good idea.

Rich

Do they have scotch in a universe that doesn't have a Scotland?

Jake

I'm going to start to me.

Pat

In that box, yes.

Rich

You're right. Good point.

Jake

I give a subtle cuckoo.

Rich

Okay.

Jake

I was not going to understand me though.

Ozan

Yeah, what are you saying?

Jake

And I said, no, I said, everything, everything's fine. Everything's fine. I'm just, I'm just, I'm putting something away right now. Hold on.

Rich

What's in the box?

Jake

I'm masturbating. Don't come in here. And I'm hiding the box in one of my shelves.

Pat

Okay, box is hitting.

Ozan

You can't go more than 10 feet away from it, otherwise it's very dangerous.

Donnie table talk

precious.

Rich

Yeah, you can't part ways from it, Jake.

Pat

They're like how they're talking to you from the other side of the wall. You're like a bird. Like, you can't go too far away from that boxy tank. They're like,

Rich

It's gonna be okay.

Jake

Like I said, I shove it in a drawer like I'm 11 trying to hide some porn or something. Like it's just like stuff.

Pat

You're like, oh,

Rich

Ha.

Jake

Like making my bed and shit.

Rich

What's going on in there?

Donnie

That's it.

Pat

as you guys go in the room.

Pat

All right. They opened the door.

Ozan

Kaka.

Rich

Ha.

Jake table talk

I call Cooper.

Ozan table talk

a coach.

Jake

I put my, I put my wings behind my back and then like I grabbed the drawer. Like I'm trying to like, I'm like, I'm like, don't you fucking do it, man. What's in the box? Like,

Rich

What's in the box?

Jake

I'm fucking Morgan Freeman in seven right now. I'm like, don't you fucking look at it. No, you don't need to come over here. Like,

Ozan

Only you can open this box.

Jake

I start crying. I'm like, no.

Ozan

Scotch.

Jake

I shove Ozone like Matt Damon in a...

Ozan

I give him a hug.

Ozan

that her

Pat

I give him a hug.

Jake

I start crying.

Ozan

I tell him it's not his fault. I tell him it's not his fault.

Jake

Oh shit. I put I push him away. I got I got I got that ten foot radius.

Pat

By the way, Jake, now that you have the box in your possession, you're no longer compelled to murder people about it. You're like good again, man.

Jake

Then as...

Pat

He just turned by the box. That's all.

Jake

Okay. Well, it was a brief panic. I didn't know what was going on, so I flustered immediately. I flew by. I don't know how to shape change. I'm molting, basically, at this point. Yeah, and crying. My feathers have fallen out. I just went through a huge stress period. I'm balding.

Jake

As the Hawk Duel.

Jake

And I tell, I tell, I'm like, you can't come to the box. You know, I can't, I can't let you anywhere near like this. This is what it is. I need to go and I need to look inside of it. I can't fucking stop myself.

Ozan

I- yeah, please, go grab a- the finest bottle of scotch from there. 50,000 golds worth.

Jake

Okay, I open up the drawer, grab the box, and then I grab the box and put it under my wing. And then as a bird, I stomp over to our bar. And then I grab with one talon the scotch out of the low shelf. And then it gives it a nice little dragging fly. And as it hits the countertop, I come back up top.

Ozan

the finest.

Jake

and I uncork it with my feet and start pouring myself a glass.

Pat

And you pulled out a bottle of scotch worth 50,000 gold.

Jake

And I pour it and I'm like, okay.

Pat

Roll me a D100.

Pat

Roll above 50.

Rich

God.

Rich

And that didn't look at the list. It's about to get horrifying.

Pat

roll below 50 that's bad

Pat

Okay, that's bad.

Rich

That's that.

Donnie

very bad.

Pat

Roll me a d6.

Pat

Okay. It's also bad.

Rich

So what kind of list are we looking at?

Ozan

uh,

Pat

An unspeakable visitation. Romy 1D4 plus 3.

Donnie

And then it's,

Ozan table talk

Oh, that's bad. Oh, no.

Pat table talk

Shoggoth is a monster in the Cthulhu mythos. This might be it, boys.

Ozan table talk

We're fucked.

Donnie

but then I think.

Ozan table talk

You're fucked. Oh my god. CR19.

Rich table talk

Oh, fuck.

Pat

How much? Six.

Pat

Sixth.

Donnie

Somebody get us out of here very quickly.

Pat

come out of the box

Jake

You say fucking Cho'Gas, dude?

Rich

You know, you can ask

Jake

You can fate point that.

Jake

Yeah, you should. Who?

Ozan

You should fade point that role, the 50.

Pat

Six CR 19 immense mound of black slime stunts.

Jake

That's on you, Ozon. I'm out of fake points, bro. Hold on, hold on. Pat, go ahead. I mean, if we're going to re-roll fake points, just do it now before Pat starts describing some bullshit. Once he describes bullshit, it's canon.

Ozan

I can give you great points.

Ozan

We should fade point that. Have two mine for one of yours.

Jake

I don't have any.

Pat

You're going to point the 50% roll?

Ozan

Yes.

Rich

I think we should also...

Pat

As a free action, a Shogoth can give voice to sounds and words saying life is not meant to hear.

Jake

You fucking shitting me?

Donnie table talk

I told you the list was pretty terrifying, dude.

Jake

I rolled a 31.

Rich

So who has that God's interjection thing? Because we really need that. to solve the problem of us being stuck here. Like if we could get a deity to get us out of here.

Ozan table talk

These are all bad. These are all so bad.

Jake table talk

Pat, that was enough.

Donnie table talk

Yeah, dude, I was on their terrible, man.

Jake

I was at 31 on the next D100.

Pat

that was from Ozon's fate point. He was down to four, and you once again have six Shogoths coming out.

Rich

So are we going to do the deity?

Ozan

I thought he got to reroll the monsters.

Pat

No, you pick one dice to re-roll with a fate point.

Ozan

Let's reroll again.

Pat

You want to reroll the 50% or you want to reroll the monster roll.

Rich

50%.

Ozan

There we go.

Pat

You have three points left.

Rich table talk

Ugh.

Pat

A bottle of scotch comes out with 50,000 gold.

Rich table talk

Ha.

Jake

to the neck.

Pat

You can only do this so many times.

Donnie

Yep, there's only three fate points left in the party.

Rich

I think we have to kill Jake. He won't.

Pat table talk

I hope that bottle of scotch was worth almost unleashing Lovecraftian horror. into the fucking multiverse.

Ozan

Can I have some of that scotch, please?

Rich

I think we need to hurl that box into the abyss.

Donnie

No, we can't do that.

Rich

Why not?

Donnie

I mean, we can.

Jake

I grab another glass for ozone and I slide the glass across the table.

Ozan

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Donnie table talk

If we get rid of that box, Jake's going to go all Schmeagol and shit.

Ozan table talk

Very Schmeagle worthy.

Jake

It's hard it's hard to grab a land bird trust me it's real fucking

Rich

Okay, then.

Rich

We need to rush getting out of here because I want to be able to teleport away.

Donnie

So this box can be destroyed.

Donnie

But it's not easy.

Ozan

By a golden dragon, you mean?

Donnie

Yeah. After the person possessed by the box defeats three monsters from within it.

Jake table talk

Jesus Christ.

Ozan table talk

Take a while.

Donnie table talk

Yeah. So the others are defeatable, but...

Jake table talk

I mean, that's the best part of the second paragraph. The first Shoggoths. Oh, Jesus Christ. So it was created in like a fucking like spawn pool? Were created in eons past, long before the first gods turned their attention to the material plane. Some hold that the Abothalists engineered them, while certain strange texts hint of a race even older than engineered. The first... these first mofucks as slaves. Eventually, the Dread Beast develops enough intelligence to rebel against their own creators, and now they lurk, patient but potent, in the lightless deep.

Rich table talk

My goodness, they're only huge.

Rich table talk

Jesus.

Jake table talk

Jesus.

Rich

scent, tremor scents. You can't even fucking hide from them.

Pat table talk

Okay, anyway, the scotch is amazing.

Jake table talk

It's the height of them.

Rich table talk

Ha Thank you, Pat.

Pat table talk

Fucking great. Best scotch you've ever fucking had in your life.

Pat table talk

It's better for the scratch.

Rich

So,

Rich

have it be like too much of a wasting the use of it, but we gotta get the fuck out of here now. This is now a terrible place, because we can't even wait it out. Those things will come.

Donnie

They're going to come no matter where we go.

Rich

I know, but we can teleport away on other places.

Donnie

inevitably that box is going to kill us.

Donnie

Oh, my God.

Rich

So we need to, as a team, ask ourselves, what are we going to do with this? Because this seems like we are going to have to perpetually flee.

Ozan

Hey, we're all going to die.

Ozan

What do you mean what are we going to do? Unless you want to kill TickTick.

Rich

I don't want to do that.

Ozan

We're not going to do that then.

Rich

We need to get a... Well, I'm just saying, we need to get...

Pat table talk

I like other new guys. Like, we got to kill them. We're not going to do that. We're not going to do that. Got it.

Jake table talk

Ha.

Rich

I don't know. Maybe we can just destroy it.

Ozan

You mean with a gold dragon after beating three monsters from it?

Donnie

It's gotta be crushed by a golden dragon and in turn it kills the gold dragon and he has to defeat three creatures from within the box.

Ozan

Yeah, maybe one day, maybe one day.

Ozan

We can only, we can only...

Rich

Hypothetically, what happens if we do hurl it into the void?

Donnie

Why don't you try it?

Jake

Oh, fuck yeah, Donnie.

Ozan

No, don't try it. Don't try it. He'll kill you.

Donnie

I don't know.

Pat table talk

Wait, you have to defeat three groups of apocalypse box monsters in a single day, then convince a gold dragon to crush it, and then once the box is crushed, it kills the dragon? So he's gotta not know what he's about to be doing?

Ozan

Jake will kill you.

Donnie

Yes.

Jake

Yeah, exactly. Okay. So our first model... Yeah, let's find the dumbest golden dragon.

Ozan

Yeah, you got to check him.

Donnie

You gotta find a dumb gold dragon.

Rich

So then I guess this is more of a, if we just hurl into the void, does Jake go with it?

Ozan

If you try to take it from Jake, he will try to kill you.

Jake table talk

Cacao.

Rich

Okay, then I guess this either leaves us with the two options of we either need to immediately try to find our way back to the material plane so we can at the very least flee every time this goes wrong. Because we're very stranded here.

Ozan

We tried to, we talked to you before.

Rich

Jake, one of those two things has to happen. And I would much prefer just go back. We're very familiar with fleeing. In fact, I think now that we have teleport, we can do it very efficiently.

Donnie

Yeah. Well.

Rich

We can't do that here. It ain't going to work.

Donnie

No matter where we summon these monsters, the monsters remain.

Rich

Well, yeah, but it's not our problem nearly as much if we're on the other side of the planet. We can't do that here.

Donnie

answer is not my problem. That's what I always say.

Jake table talk

Oh, fuck yeah. Not my monsters, not my problem. Fucking lighthouse is the rule.

Ozan table talk

We should have a habit.

Rich table talk

You know what that is? It's neutral.

Jake table talk

Lighthouses rule, bro.

Ozan

We should have a habit of like right before we travel somewhere, we just open up the box, grab a bottle of scotch, and then peace out.

Jake

Yeah, as a molting fowl, I just explained to Ozon that I'm like, this box, I mean, I know you took it, but it's spoken to me and it has something special and I can't let anybody take it. And then I put it in the...

Pat

The

Ozan

I know what that box is, man. I'm the one that told you about that box.

Jake

I know, but I mean, like, I can't let you touch it. I don't trust you enough. I mean, this is...

Ozan

I'm not trying to fight you. You look like you can beat my ass.

Rich

At some point, it's going to become apparent that, like...

Ozan

I try to connect with you, man.

Jake

it's all happening and then I grabbed I grabbed my hat from across the room and then like I fly back over to the to the bar and I put the box with a towel and into the hat and then like into my head of many things

Ozan

bird hat

Pat

It goes in the hat.

Jake

and cheers Ozone

Ozan

Cheers, mate.

Ozan table talk

Is this it? Is this a good place to call it?

Pat table talk

Yeah, we can call it here. If I can keep going or we can call it.

Ozan table talk

Thank you, God.

Pat table talk

Yeah, this is a good place to call it, actually. Yeah, this is just fine.

Donnie table talk

Like I said, I'm usually the only one holding us up if we want to pick up a couple extra games this week or for the next month. You know, I've got plenty of time.

Jake table talk

Yeah, me too. Like I said, we could actually grind out some fucking D&D. Or, like I said, fucking throw it on the Civ map. Back me up on the pub jug.

Rich table talk

I think that's a good plan.

Pat table talk

Yeah. Yup.

Donnie table talk

I've been playing a game of Sib this whole fucking time.

Pat table talk

All right, anyway.

Pat

Apocalypse box. Thulu monsters. And spider hell. Ship still stuck. You guys are doing great. You got first key in.

Jake table talk

Jesus Christ, whimsy wall. What a fucking...

Ozan

Did we level up yet?

Pat

Yeah, actually everyone's level 11 now. Everyone now has one more fate point that brings everyone to one and owes on to 14%.

Donnie

Oh, thank God. We're going to need all the fucking faith points we can get.

Jake

Ozan, you're a king for tossing those fake points, man.

Ozan

I did it for us.

Donnie table talk

He doesn't want to die either. I mean...

Jake table talk

Yeah, good point.

Donnie table talk

laughter

Ozan

but I'm also a good person.

Pat table talk

I love work with it.

Jake table talk

Ozan, just because you're a bad guy doesn't mean you're a bad guy.

Rich table talk

So...

Jake table talk

Seriously, man. This shit, dude, it's its own fucking mystical book. This shit is fucking wild. This shit is so tits up. It's awesome.

Rich

Who has the fate point or not the fate point thing, the whimsy wall power that they get to ask a God for help.

Jake

That,

Rich

or how

Jake

That'd be me. And out of game talk right now, I'm going to talk to the celestial god that we fucking met. That's who I want to talk to.

Ozan table talk

We medic celestial God.

Jake

Yeah, we did.

Rich

Titan. That wasn't a god. That

Jake

Maybe not. Maybe you're right.

Rich

Because I remember

Pat

It was a while ago. It was back when they entered a weird fish tank that was owned by a Titan.

Donnie

11, 6, 1.

Pat

And the Titan realized that these weird guys in this fish tank weren't what he meant to capture. And then...

Jake

Yeah, we were basically breaking out of the fish tank that he created because he created his own pocket, little universe fish tank that would just sit on his like windowsill. That's something to look at.

Rich

He had a menagerie.

Pat

You ever think about just ending it, man? Are we good?

Rich

I know.

Jake table talk

That's my guy, dude, right there. I don't know what his name was. Dude, do you have a name for that guy? Because that guy's my favorite. You ever think about ending it? And he just fucking... Yeah. I asked the fish man. I asked the fish man. I'm like, dude, you live in a fucking box that's being observed by a titan. Like, do you ever think about killing yourself? And he just fucking... He just pulls up his shirt a little bit to fucking, you know, to show his gun and his belt. And he's like, every day.

Pat table talk

I'll have to. He just lifts up his female shirt.

Pat table talk

Every day.

Pat table talk

It's really good.

Jake table talk

Fuck yeah.

Pat

He's a gunslinger underwater every day.

Jake table talk

This is a badass in his own right. Having a water musket. Jesus.

Pat

Keep one bullet in this fucking gun.

Rich

Can and as far as like the theoretical attempts at this, can gods change the magical properties of items? Like, could we have the 50% chance aspect removed by the god?

Jake table talk

Ooh.

Jake table talk

You're talking to a God right now.

Rich table talk

Because that is the solution to our quandary.

Pat

Well, the exact whimsy wall effect is consult a deity to know the answer of your next dilemma.

Jake table talk

The dilemma.

Rich

Well, this is goddammit a dilemma. This is definitely a dilemma.

Jake table talk

That'd be fucking great if you said, God damn it. He came to you like a fucking gene. Like what's up? What's good? Like, what are you damning?

Rich table talk

But I get the strong feeling they're going to just be like, well, kill him. Shit.

Jake table talk

Yeah, shit. What is it? Yeah.

Donnie

There's all three attacks. Look at that.

Pat table talk

Turns out Tiamat always functioned on Beetlejuice rules. No one just said his name three times fast.

Jake

Yeah, it's Tiamat. He just pops up. He's like, yeah, I'm Tiamat. Just kill the fucker. What are you talking about? You mortal. This is so simple. I'm controlling galaxies right now. What the fuck is your deal?

Rich table talk

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Pat

And then he leaps.

Jake

What? Yeah. Play your friends. Eat your enemies. That's what I do. Jesus Christ. I was having tea and crumpets on the Galaxy 7. Yeah.

Pat table talk

With Jesus Christ.

Jake

Jesus Christ. No, with seven Jesus Christ's from all different spanning universes.

Donnie

733.

Pat

Multiverses are real. Most of you guys are dicks.

Jake

I'm having an orgy with 19 different Cleopatras. Do you know what that's like? You interrupted me in a clerical moment. Ha.

Rich

God damn it. I am largely concerned we're just doomed now.

Jake table talk

Right? Wouldn't that be sweet? Yeah, dude. Remember I thought...

Jake

tizzy and we're all we're always doomed ritz it's the it's the fleeting moments in time i hear that's eternity

Rich

Yeah, we get a daily roll of the dice.

Pat

You only have so many faith points to get out of that one, boys.

Rich table talk

Yeah.

Jake

We all just got plus one. Thanks, Pat. Mark it. Dude, good fucking good. I mean, like you said gunslinger earlier. I mean, you're fucking DM slinging now, baby. You fucking fired out the hip, bro. I love that shit. Hell yeah. You got an answer? Bam, text and chat. Bam, Pandora's box. What's up, Quincy Ball? Yeah, you Clint Eastwood with that fucking DM gun. Fan that trigger.

Donnie

And I just gained honorable stand

Pat table talk

How fucked up are the other monsters?

Ozan

They're all fucked up. Like CR 20.

Donnie

Three isn't bad, isn't like on the scale of the others.

Ozan

Wait, 3 is CR20, isn't it?

Donnie

That's the barb devils.

Rich

But if there's somebody one to six of them like we could probably all collectively take one

Donnie

I think that's CR 12 on the demons.

Pat

Oh man. Yeah, that's real bad.

Jake table talk

Well, but at the same time, at the same time, I read that little chat and it was like you were saying words that you were saying words that mortal entities were never meant to hear. Like that immediately makes you insane.

Rich table talk

We're fucked.

Donnie

Yeah, three is CR 11.

Jake table talk

Right?

Rich table talk

We're so fucked.

Jake

Like they can at will talk to you in a voice that mortals are not meant to hear. So basically it's a flashbang, but it also tells you in an inert way that you are an unsettling body in the universe and that you should just be disgusted with yourself. Right?

Pat

Yeah, it does a fuck ton of wisdom damage if you hear it.

Jake

Like, yeah, I mean, that's not even a voice at that point. That's basically like the monster said something that your little brain couldn't understand. So it just told its nervous system to not only shit itself, but to go fuck off and die.

Jake table talk

It's crazy. It's insanity.

Rich

Can we? Can we sell it?

Rich table talk

Ha.

Jake table talk

Fuck yeah, man.

Donnie

you can try.

Pat

Come take the most terrifying fucked up ride in reality.

Jake

cash credit

Donnie

Yeah, you absolutely do not want to roll a five or six.

Rich table talk

I'd say the apocalypse box, I meant the adventure fun time box.

Jake table talk

This is your mental instability calling. I nudged my way to get an iPhone in the door.

Pat

Sound your mind can't hear.

Donnie table talk

And what the fuck is that number one? What shit is not?

Donnie

It's all bad. It's all bad, Jake.

Rich

Oh, wow, that number one is gargantuan.

Donnie

Yeah, that's a CR20.

Rich

and it can summon six of them? Is this dungeon large enough to fit six gargantuan creatures?

Jake

Isn't gargantuan... Nope.

Jake

It's bigger, right? Gargantuan's larger than Colossal, right?

Rich

It would tear us all into the fucking soul pit. We're about to all... Oh, Jesus. We need to get home. We need to get home. We need to get home.

Jake table talk

Dude, seriously.

Pat

Special attacks drain soul.

Jake table talk

Oh, God damn it.

Donnie

And just so we can destroy it?

Rich

More so we can flee from it when it hits the fan inevitably.

Jake table talk

Like, I don't know. I don't know.

Donnie

So once a day or once every couple days, we summon some fucking colossal creatures on some part of the world. Eventually we're going to run out of places to run.

Rich

Here's the thing. If they only last one week, so we have to go continent by continent.

Pat

No one had to worry about the lich. They had to worry about you guys.

Ozan

Oh shit, no, we should set up a cage. We should set up a cage.

Rich

Yeah, it's actually...

Jake

That makes me feel good. The fact that a lich is like, wait a minute. What the fuck was that? Nah. Nah, fuck those guys.

Rich

There never was a lich.

Pat

What's going on here?

Rich

There never was a lich. It was actually just us in the future randomly teleporting around to flee from shit we destroyed.

Pat table talk

That totally works on the timeline.

Jake

Yeah. Dude, there's nothing better than making an undead skeleton mage shit his pants.

Rich

We didn't.

Donnie

considering the lich is my fucking skin floating around somewhere, my skinless body.

Jake table talk

That's so, that's so rad. That's so fucking cool.

Rich table talk

of the war.

Rich table talk

It's in the Warp. All the horrors are in the Warp.

Jake table talk

HP Lovecraft doesn't have shit on the warp.

Jake table talk

Oh, dude, see, this is what I'm talking about, like, especially story crafting and stuff like that. Like, holy shit. Like, dude. Like, yeah, you can make this stuff up. You can give people a certain parameters and rules, but nothing actually ever gets as crazy as something that we're all basically just flying off the seats of our fucking pants about. This is nuts.

Pat table talk

And once the dice take control, and you're like, wait, what just happened? Oh, fuck.

Jake table talk

Exactly, dude. Exactly. We ended the campaign fucking 20 minutes ago and we're still hashing this shit out. It's enticing as fuck.

Rich table talk

Oh, dude.

Jake table talk

Fuck.

Rich

So if we ask the god Loth, because we can summon any god to ask us out of our earth for help. If we let them know, it's like, we're just going to end up destroying your fucking, your base here. Like, you could teleport us back and it'll probably be fun for you to watch as like a chaos game.

Donnie

Or they could just kill Jake and get rid of the box.

Rich

Yeah, but I think they'd love to see the idea of, like, throwing that into the mix on the material plane. It is an evil god.

Jake

Yeah, they just...

Jake

I know, but Donnie's Occam's razor answer is pretty fucking legit.

Donnie

I did it.

Jake

Donnie, shut up.

Donnie

I'm just saying, what's going to be easier for a god? To teleport us somewhere or just kill this little puny thing in front of him?

Jake

I mean...

Jake

Yeah. He's like, no, I made that box. I made that box eons ago. I love that box. Fuck you, smoke.

Rich

It's the cost-benefit ratio. Like, yes, it costs, like, but it's a god, so teleporting isn't much, and he would be unleashing us, which is in turn unleashing dozens of monsters over as long as our characters can survive.

Donnie

You see, this is the conversation you're going to have to have with the god, not with us.

Jake

Yeah, exactly. And as far as we know, rich gods are 10th dimensional beings. I mean, we're all just dots.

Rich

And I feel like it's one...

Rich

then they'll know exactly the chaos and destruction I'm talking about.

Jake

Oh, they love me.

Donnie

This is all up to Jake because he's the only one that can use that call on the God thing.

Jake

And also lucky for all of you, I'm the only one who can speak to good gods trying to do good shit.

Donnie table talk

Pretty sure Ozan can do that too.

Jake table talk

Nah, he can't, he's evil.

Donnie table talk

No.

Rich table talk

I don't think he's evil.

Donnie table talk

I think he's good, and that's one of the problems of good having.

Rich table talk

I think he's just neutral.

Jake table talk

I think Ozone's not neutral. I think Ozone's not neutral.

Donnie table talk

I think he is chaotic good. Like the plane he was trying to take us to.

Ozan table talk

I'm not catacly.

Jake table talk

We never got your alignment. Would you like to deliver that in-game or out-game?

Jake table talk

Oh shit, you're the real cliffhanger. Go eat a dick. Nice, how dare you.

Rich table talk

Indeed.

Pat table talk

Yeah.

Rich

fuck. At will greater teleport for... Fuck.

Donnie

Running is going to be hard.

Rich

but are they necessarily here to kill us or are they going to come into existence

Donnie

Or anything in sight.

Rich

Yeah, but if we teleport away, won't they just like ravage whatever continent we leave them on?

Donnie

I think so.

Rich table talk

This is basically the most extreme version of how we normally operate that has ever been.

Rich table talk

We don't have to burn things down because we will accidentally unleash dozens of

Donnie table talk

So you weren't cool with an orc war, but you're totally cool with dropping a fucking colossal giant on a fucking town.

Rich table talk

You know what?

Rich table talk

I've clear it's unfortunate, but

Jake table talk

That's a great point, Donnie.

Donnie table talk

Right?

Rich

I had to, I basically had to eat that we, when we acquired the ship that runs on souls and blood that we, I couldn't argue anymore. I'm trying so hard, but I just, it would feel so disingenuous to try and be like, oh, we're neutral. We're not neutral.

Jake

which Donnie, counter argument for Donnie,

Jake

Yeah, Donnie, there's something to be said about killing somebody outright, but keeping an entity enslaved to ship runs? Oh, dude, that's fucking better than that, man.

Rich

Yeah, no. Again, that's... I just changed...

Donnie

That's beautiful.

Jake

It is beautiful. I'm also the one who did it.

Donnie table talk

It's the circle of life, Jake. Don't make me sing the song.

Rich table talk

The party slowly descended into evil.

Jake

It truly is. I appreciate electricity, but I hate the damage that animals had to deal with to get it. Yeah.

Donnie

Nothing wrong with a little blood magic.

Jake

You know, you can't you can't have you got I mean, you got to let people be hypocrites. But I mean, at the same time, it's like if you don't fucking understand the damage and dealt for things that have become for the life that you're living, then fuck you.

Rich

I don't know.

Donnie table talk

Good timing, dude. That was really perfect timing.

Jake table talk

That was fucking timing.

Donnie table talk

You being bad.

Jake table talk

Good campaign. Good run, man. Show those demons who's fucking boss. Richard's the same team killing fuck though.

Rich table talk

Ha.

Jake table talk

I'm like...

Rich table talk

And now you get a new one.

Jake table talk

No, it's good.

Donnie table talk

This is the second fucked up item we've been given that could potentially lead to one of the players death

Jake

It's Ozan's fault, man. You rolled a 999.

Donnie table talk

Yeah, and he's the one that fucking took the ring off me in the first place. It's always his own fault.

Rich table talk

Clearly the cause for all of it.

Jake

I know, but dude, yeah, I mean, like, but it's really not his. He rolled the 999. I fucking missed the will save. Like, it was technically out of our hands once we went through the whimsy wall, and I, that is so fucking awesome. Like, this, like... Yeah, this is the third...

Pat

This is, yeah, this is the third artifact you've come across, actually.

Rich

What were the other ones?

Jake table talk

Which was funny because I was really...

Donnie

That ring was one of them, I'm sure.

Rich

There's the ring. But what's the third?

Jake table talk

Not but like 24 hours ago, I was bitching.

Pat

That's a good question, Rich. You guys came across it and you never really interacted too much with it. And then you left.

Donnie

It was a bag of potatoes and we left.

Jake table talk

I was actually bitching not more than 24 hours ago, and I was like, yeah. No, I literally was. I was like, dude, our campaign's a shit. It's actually been going on for a year. Me and Eddie were just hashing shit out. And I was like, yeah, it's fucking great, but at the same time, we go through all these fucking random dungeons and shit, but we don't get any legendary dope-ass loot. You know, like it does suck, but we never got a fucking sword of valor or we never got the fucking sting or some shit like that. Something that I would actually further the campaign in like a story changing way. And then here we come today where that shit just happened. And so I have to fucking put my giant ass hobbit foot in my mouth and suck on my toes and eat my words.

Jake table talk

So, kudos.

Donnie

All I know, Jake, is the last time we encountered an artifact that bound to somebody that had evil connotations, it was unkiltedly. I would watch your back.

Jake table talk

Ozon's been asking way too many fucking questions. Anyway, I already don't trust a motherfucker regardless. Period. There's been many a fucking chat. I've literally broken out to people in the line. You stop it when Ozon's asking fucking questions. He digs too deep.

Donnie table talk

Like Ozon keeps saying in the chat, he is a good character. So I think he's going to have qualms with us abandoning demons in places.

Jake table talk

is playing both sides. We all fucking know this shit. What if he asks so many questions? Of course he's trying to backstab us all. Of course. Of course.

Rich table talk

Is this another new arc?

Jake table talk

Yeah, no, of course it's another new arc. Like, dude, me and Nutty smelt that shit.

Rich table talk

No, you arc. A Jake arc. Oh god, he was moving against us the whole time.

Jake table talk

That was... No, that was a Jake arc. Okay, that was planned. That was like three days of me just talking shit and wanting to weasel and everything. That was literally roles in-game made so people couldn't figure me the fuck out. And roles...

Rich table talk

So I suppose when Pat and Ozone plot against us,

Jake table talk

Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah, no shit. If I showed them the fucking light and they make a better goddamn mousetrap to me. Oh, that is totally plausible. That is 100% plausible.

Rich table talk

Hey, Pat, would you vote against us?

Pat table talk

Rich, did you ask if I plot against you?

Rich table talk

Would you plot against us?

Pat table talk

I applaud against you every session.

Jake table talk

Yeah. Aww. He cares. You think we're pretty?

Rich table talk

Because you care.

Pat table talk

Because I think about you, baby.

Pat table talk

You know it, baby.

Jake table talk

Fuck yeah, dude.

Donnie

Wait, what levels do we get feats at?

Donnie

At what level do we get feats? To re...

Pat

I think it's every other.

Donnie

So 1, 3, it's odd numbers, right?

Pat

I'm pretty sure it's on the character advancement pathfinder. If you search that, it'll pop up.

Jake

I mean, I'm like right now I get to summon a fucking crazy ass.

Rich

I do get a new bracket of spells. So maybe there is...

Jake

Yeah, and I'm approaching Druid on the 11th level, so I mean, it's...

Donnie

It skips a level at level 11. Oh, no, it doesn't. I'm looking at abilities for it.

Jake

Yours doesn't. Mine. I'm good, dude. I'm starting to get immensely powerful.

Donnie

Yeah, every other.

Donnie

That means I get a feat.

Jake

Like next level, I can bring people back from the dead. Like, it's gonna get fucking wild.

Jake

straight double my summons and shit it's gonna get fucking whack like now i get to now i literally get to go pick out a mythical beast as my familiar

Donnie

feet

Donnie

do I want

Jake

Like, that's why I'm looking at the Phoenix, because it's un-fucking-killable. It has a crazy breath weapon. And it flies. And it can teleport to me. It's fucking nuts.

Jake

That's Shadow Worm, man.

Donnie

I have this other fingers

Donnie

I'm taking critical focus.

Pat

Man, there's a lot of fucked up shit on that list.

Donnie

Yeah, dude. It's fucked up.

Pat

Every single thing on there is fucking nasty.

Donnie

Yeah, dude. least bad one, I think, is number three, but

Pat

Now you look at Pit Fiend. Did you look at the Pit Fiend? It's CR20.

Donnie

It's still very,

Donnie

No, that's the barb team that I'm talking about is the three.

Pat

Yeah, you get 2d6 barbed demons and a pit fiend.

Donnie

I didn't see the pit demon. That's bad.

Pat

He's CR 20. He gets at will like blasphemy.

Donnie

That's real bad.

Donnie

Okay.

Pat

Fireball.

Donnie

It's all bad.

Pat

He does accept infernal sacrifices, clerics, or sacrifices and offerings of the relics.

Pat

That only gives you a plus two to a charisma bonus check.

Pat

Good Lord.

Pat

You guys gotta destroy this thing.

Jake table talk

You guys have been at the script.

Donnie

But we gotta find the fucking gold dragon and defeat three of the things inside.

Rich

No, we need to get back to the material plane because then we, that's where they, that's where we're going to find gold dragons. I don't think it's here.

Donnie

they will find gold dragons here either, but

Jake

That's what I'm saying, man.

Jake

We're not going to be able to kill it.

Jake table talk

I'll join us. I don't even want to look at anything because I want the scarcity. Or I want to be scared. I want to be enticed. That's the hardest part about the internet. Why I look at it, especially if we have an expansive knowledge of D&D or the SRD or Pathfinder River Plane. How that shit spit the fuck out of you. Get that real energy.

Jake table talk

While some of the most powerful demons are servitors to one of the four horses. Offerol, Deliopithecus serve as juggernauts of all the four. These massive creatures are the embodiment of death and destruction. The very vessels of the apocalypse that demons wish to see rot upon the multum. Like, what kind of shit is that? The guy who wrote that was... Clearly an argument with this.

Rich

Oh, shit. Maybe there's a cool form of dragon or fey or thing that I can transform into that will then have plane shift as an ability.

Donnie

Can you turn it into a gold dragon?

Rich table talk

Well, you'd have to, no. Fuck you. I'd rather kill Jake. It's a much easier process than all that.

Pat table talk

Ha.

Pat

And then you are destroyed forever and cannot be back except for a divine intervention or a

Rich

Yeah, if we're really going to do that, I can...

Rich

If we're really going to do that, we can polymorph anything into a gold dragon and then

Jake table talk

See this.

Rich

Why not? I can polymorph it. At some point we can do that, yeah.

Donnie

Into a gold dragon?

Rich

Yeah.

Donnie

Into that's a like colossal creature.

Rich

I wonder if... If you got like...

Rich

I don't know.

Donnie

I think there's a lot of limits on Polymorph. I don't think you can turn anybody into a Gold Dragon.

Rich

I'm wondering if you can balefully polymorph... Well, it's not like it would, guaranteed, turn into, like, an elder dragon. I'm assuming that would be, like, to scale of where the creature would be at. But, like...

Rich

Wondering. Mayhaps.

Rich

Because you can turn, like it would be difficult, but you can polymorph a dragon into something else. Why would you not be able to... reverse that. Oh, I suppose Paul, I want to say baleful polymorph is specifically into a rather helpless creature.

Donnie

Whereas polymorph, you can turn anybody into an animal, humanoid, or elemental of your choosing.

Donnie

Does a dragon fall under an animal?

Rich

No, it's a magical beast, so... But that being said, I'm going to look through the Fae that I might be able to turn into if I choose a high-level Fae form or two, and maybe just get ourselves plane shifted or back to where we need to go.

Jake table talk

Poy,

Rich

So fucking frustrating. The

Rich

the creature or like the transmutation spells are seemingly set by size category, not so much spell ability, which makes it really fucking hard to find like what you're looking for. Like you can't even bracket them out to, oh, now these are available.

Jake

It was easiest going through, for me, when I was changing things into other things, it was best to go through the Beastiary, or basically a Druid summon creature list. Just go through the things that they could summon and to find the beasts that way. Because if you change a beast into another beast, especially if it's a dragon and you go against whatever its natural habitat is, you do get a negative four on the roll. So if you change a dragon... who's in a room with a magical chest into a fish who can't breathe without air, it's negative four. You have to call what you're changing it into before you roll the dice.

Jake

And so it's also fucky like that too.

Jake

But if you do kill the creature, you do get full experience and it turns back into its original body.

Jake

The SRD did a really good job of that.

Rich

I think.

Jake

And also, especially if you're a wizard, Rich, if you could... I think it's... I don't know what the... Maybe it's spontaneous casting. When you're able to cast two spells at once, I was able to link... Basically, I cast spell weakness or something like that. So I would cast spell weakness first and then Bale Polymorph second. So cast spell weakness as a free action to weaken their spell resistance and then cast the Bale Polymorph. That's the only way I was ever able to turn a dragon into something else.

Rich

Interesting.

Jake

It was a high roll like I was able to weaken something like negative five at spell resistance because I was a red wizard.

Jake

Because I just, I did like prestige class into that. Into a red wizard who gets natural on the spells he casts negative modifiers. And then spell resistance. Like my spell resistance was as a red wizard was like negative three on the things that I did. And spell resistance is like a negative two. So I got like negative five. And then I would... Free action cast at first, then Belfast one. And I had to roll like super high. Like I was with like two point margin off like an 18. It was nuts. I got really lucky.

Jake table talk

And that was the fight and it got one-shotted by two dragons.

Donnie table talk

Yeah, I did too.

Donnie

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to add the plus four bonus to my crit confirmed.

Donnie

improved critical strike.

Donnie

Damage bonus

Donnie

Really damaging.

Donnie

I don't see anything about critical strike.

Donnie table talk

I don't know if there's a way to edit that.

Pat table talk

I got some good CB radio slang I got to share with you guys. It's pretty good.

Rich table talk

What would that be?

Pat table talk

Post it. Pretty good shit.

Jake table talk

Yeah, that. What was that?

Donnie table talk

Yeah, night, man.

Jake table talk

That's right, man.

Rich table talk

Good night. Love you.

Jake table talk

I'll invite you to the Civ Chat then.

Jake table talk

All right, bud. Have a good night's sleep, man. I'll give you a buzzer tomorrow.

Rich table talk

Night.
