Starting point is 00:00:00 DQ presents the sound of a genius idea with the new Smarties Cookie Collision Blizzard. It's the sound of the Smarties Blizzard plus cookie dough! Hurry in for the new Smarties Cookie Collision Blizzard for a limited time at DQ. Happy tastes good. This is a Rooster Teeth production. Hail and how's your mama in them? Come on in, Citus Bell and the Stinky Dragon. Here, take your mind off things with this beholder bourbon. Keep an eye on that liquor, because it's sure enough keeping an eye on you.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Well, I declare our adventurers are finally on their first mission to the dusty town of Pious Pass, collecting a secret package for Dr. M. But that's not the only thing cryptic in this town. Seems there's a deadly curse afoot. And wouldn't you know it, our heroes met the local law, Governe, a short-tempered sheriff fixing to fly off the handle while arresting the local priest, Mother Abby.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Before they knew it, everything went cattywampus and black as pitch. So put on your sitting britches, because I reckon it's time to tell our tale. Blackness surrounds you. A high-pitched ringing lingers in your ears. Everyone go ahead and roll a perception check. Seven. Eleven. Twenty.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Twenty-three. Some good rolls, some not-so-good rolls there. Kyborg, you try to call out for help, but there's a cough that tickles your throat, and you start coughing instead. Gum Gum, you think you hear a muffled voice calling out nearby. All you can make out is, pass the roast here?
Starting point is 00:01:53 Bart and Mud, you start waving your arms around and realize you're surrounded by smoke. You hear a voice nearby shouting, is the coast clear? Uh, I think so. It's so smoky. You're waving your arms, trying to clear the air. Roll me a dexterity check, Bart.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Okay. The most dexterous of the group. 21. 21. It seems like as you're waving your arms around, you're able to clear the smoke a little bit in front of your face. Okay. So do I see if the coast is clear or not?
Starting point is 00:02:24 You look down and you spot Chick, the store owner, hiding under a nearby display case. Oh no. She's shaking and looks up at you. Is it safe to come out? I think so, Chick, but don't worry. We'll find the culprit. I mean, we already know the culprit, but we'll find
Starting point is 00:02:39 her. Definitely the sheriff. Chick timidly stands up with a concerned look on her face. She turns to you all and says, meet me at the little picker at Twilight. I'll make it worth your while. Ew. That's a sentence I don't want to hear.
Starting point is 00:02:54 She hands five gold pieces to each of you. Yay! That should pay for room and board at the saloon. There's more where that came from. I'll see you then. Can we do like a rental service? Like you got that pogo stick. Like if we rented that, we'll
Starting point is 00:03:10 use it to save the priestess. I need the pogo stick. Remember when Blockbuster used to loan out like Playstations and Nintendo 64s and stuff? Dude, that's how I played the Dreamcast for the first time. I rented it from Hollywood Video. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Gus, tap into that nostalgia. Give us the pogo stick. It worked out so well for the first time. I rented it from Hollywood Video. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Gus, tap into that nostalgia. Give us the
Starting point is 00:03:26 pogo stick. It worked out so well for them. Yeah. Tines of industry. Just know I can't sell them as new once I do that. I'm so sorry. Okay, I understand. Can Mud look around to see if there's any sign of, like, the sheriff leaving, like, where they went?
Starting point is 00:03:42 Yes. Roll me an investigation check, Mud. While you're doing that, Chick excuses herself as she goes to check on the other customers and making sure everyone in her shop is okay. That's a 12. You find a three-sided throwing star on the floor near the front entrance, probably from the sheriff.
Starting point is 00:03:57 And you also find two pairs of footprints that lead outside. But the trail seems to go cold once it reaches the sandy main road. Can I investigate, like, whatever residue or shrapnel is from that grenade just to see what it's kind of, like, made of and stuff? Yeah. What would that be?
Starting point is 00:04:14 Roll a ballistics check. Investigation is one. All right, investigation. I rolled a seven. I put on glasses and I say, Well, guys, I guess I rolled a seven. I put on glasses and I say, Well, guys, I guess I really blew it. Yeah! You feel like a grenade may have been thrown here.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Okay. Right. First, is everybody okay? Right is right. Seems like it. They got gum gum. They got gum gum? They got gum gum. Gum gum's down. He's dead. We got a got gum gum. They got gum gum. They got gum gum gum down
Starting point is 00:04:45 He's dead. He's we got a dead gum gum. Oh I pick up gum gum when I say it's okay my child. I have you you're with me now I'm okay Seems like everyone's okay. It seems like there was mainly just smoke and no actual damage Is a smoke grenade. Good thing because we'd be dead if not. Is this Sheriff or the Batman because he threw a throwing star and then a smoke bomb.
Starting point is 00:05:16 No, this is a pie, not a bat. Ah, gotcha. Pie man. Ah, yes, pie man. Pie woman, yes, yes, yes. What should we do in the meantime till twilight? We should probably maybe take a little bit of a rest because Bart's a little ouchy from those stars. That's right, I forgot you took seven damage.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah. I say, all right, that's a good idea. Bart, I hear you, but what about the bardbershop? idea. Bart, I hear you, but what about the Barbershop? We could go take a short rest at the pecker and then maybe head over to the barbershop before we meet
Starting point is 00:05:54 Chick at the pecker. Sure. Yeah. I just like that we just saw a kidnapping or whatever and it's very dramatic and it's like we have this whole mystery afoot, but we're like, well, let's go get a little quick show in at the barbershop. I want to point out, it's not a kidnapping.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Mother Abby was arrested. Yeah, but that sheriff used an unnecessary amount of force on us, I would say. Or a grenade in a shop. Especially to a judge. How dare? I bet the judge would find the sheriff in contempt of court, most likely.
Starting point is 00:06:30 All right, can we go to the little pecker? Lil, L-I-L. You all step out of the shop here, and a sweltering heat bears down on your necks from the scorching sun directly overhead. Seems like the townsfolk are unaffected. If anything, the town seems to be waking up and more shops look to be open now. You said you're going to make your way over to Lil' Pecker Saloon?
Starting point is 00:06:53 I assume we should tend to Bart's gaping wound. I wouldn't mind dropping by the water well to like throw a coin in there. That's all right, though. Gonna make a wish? The well's kind of in the center of town. You just gotta make a slight detour up to the well. You could make it on the way to the Lil' Pecker Saloon if you wanted to. Yeah, I wouldn't mind.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Just drop a copper piece in. Gum gum follows. You pass by the well on your way over to the Lil' Pecker. Like I said earlier, it's a circular well made of stone. It's got that little plaque next to it. Nearby there's a rope and a bucket. You said you were going to toss some money, some coins into the rope?
Starting point is 00:07:28 I throw one copper coin in and to myself I whisper, I hope Gum-Gum meets his dad. And then it goes in. Kerplunk. Wait, can you roll to see if it goes in? Gum-Gum. Yeah, make a roll. Here.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Oh my god. You rolled a net one. You toss a coin into the well, and it hits the edge of the circular stone lip, and it just stays there. It doesn't actually fall into the water. I'm just too embarrassed. I walk away. That's good enough for me.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Gotcha. I go and pick up the coin. God dang it. So Kyborg loses a copper, and Gum Gum gains one copper. Everyone wins. Can I look and see if there's any more money in the well? You can't see.
Starting point is 00:08:08 It's pretty far down. I mean, if you want it, you could try to dredge it with the bucket. Sure. Dredge it. Go ahead and make a strength check just because you have to pull up all this water and stuff. All right. 22. 22. 22. You do this easily.
Starting point is 00:08:30 You toss the bucket attached to the rope down into the well. You try to let it sink as far as you can and you pull it up. When you look in the bucket, it seems like it's only water. It seems like you didn't get anything other than water when you grew it up. Again, I just want to make sure everybody is aware that Bart is bleeding from a ninja star wound.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I'm in pain. But my wish is. They're playing with a well. All right. Are you all done with the well? Yeah. Yeah, I guess. Well, well, well.
Starting point is 00:08:55 You going to toss the bucket back in or the water? You just going to leave it there, Gum-Gum? I guess. I mean, I'll just set it on the side. Okay. Gum-Gum leaves a bucket of clean, fresh water on the side of the well for the next person passing by to use. That's great. Y'all continue on your way to the Little Pecker Saloon.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Hints of oak and cassis stimulate your noses as you step through the swinging doors of this two-story saloon. A hardy tree trunk stands erect in the center of the room with several birds fluttering between branches high above the dining tables. Nice. Sorry, I got a little flustered there. Bart can't make eye contact because he's too shy. He's not usually taken by such beauty, but he is very flustered. It is like a praying mantis, but human-sized. But voluptuous. That's Bart's type. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:04 So what do youall want to do? You walk in. Bart is shy and cannot make eye contact with the pie with hazel eyes. He does a thing where he like smiles and laughs, but a little bit of drool comes out as he's laughing. And then he gets even more embarrassed. Is his nose bleeding a little bit? Mud approaches the bartender.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Hello. Hey, old friend. What can I do for you? My friend's bleeding out of a giant wound and we need a place to rest. Do you have lodging? Oh, absolutely. You can secure lodging for the night
Starting point is 00:10:38 for the cost of two gold pieces. Fantastic. We'd like to have four rooms. Four rooms. And will you be requiring any bed warmers with any of these rooms? It's hot. It is already hot. It's so hot outside. No, no, no. Me and Bart can share a room.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Oh, Bart, do you want to share a room with Gum Gum? Yeah, of course. We're used to bunking up together. Save money. Then we'll take three rooms. Three rooms, absolutely. And I can't convince you to take any bed warmers? I don't know why we would need a bed warmer, but I'm very curious why you're selling them
Starting point is 00:11:18 in a desert town. We're warm-blooded creatures in a town of cold-blooded creatures, I'm assuming. Is there a reason that you think we need bed warmers? Again, in the desert? Oh, wait, wait. It gets cold at night, though. Very popular in this town.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Just offering as per standard. All right. How much is it? It's just an additional five silver pieces. Oh, okay. That's all. I'll take. If you've picked my curiosity, I'll take a bed warmer.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Just one, then? Gum, Gum, and Bart, you going to warm each picked my curiosity, I'll take a bed warmer. Just one then? Gum, Gum, and Bart, you gonna warm each other enough or do you need a bed warmer? Ah, we're pretty snuggly. Okay. Kyborg? I'm tough.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I don't need it. All right, that's just one. Three rooms or one bed warmer. You got it. She takes your money. Make sure you deduct that from your character sheets. Oh, yeah. Okay, well, your rooms are right upstairs.
Starting point is 00:12:06 You're free to come and go as you like. And when would you like your bed warm or sent up, sir? Before bed. I don't know how time works in this place. You got it. When you're ready to bed down for the night, just stop by the bar and remind us, and we'll send it right up.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Lovely. Okay, and I assume you all are going to bed down for the night, just stop by the bar, remind us, and we'll send it right up. Lovely. Okay. And I assume you all are going to take a rest right now, or is that an improper assumption on my part? Yeah. You're going to do a short rest? Yeah. Would short rest gain little boy some HP? Bart has
Starting point is 00:12:39 five current HP. I mean, anything's better than nothing, so I'm down for a short rest. Let's take a short rest and then we can go to the to see a show. You all make your way through the saloon. There's a bunch of pies milling about. Some are eating.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Some are drinking. Some are playing a card game. You make your way up to the second floor since you are boarders. Only boarders are allowed upstairs. So you all are allowed and you head upstairs to your respective rooms to get a short rest. For the pies eating pies. Go ahead and indicate a short rest on your character sheet, and we'll fast forward time a little bit for you.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I don't need a short rest, so I go downstairs and I hang out with the pies. Okay. While everyone else is resting, Kaiborg remains downstairs with the pies. What's your goal here, Kaibborg? What do you want to do? Make friends with everybody in this inn. Could I go with Kyborg? Because I don't need to rest either.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Gum Gum and Kyborg stay downstairs, but Mud and Bart go upstairs to rest. What do you want to do specifically? Do you just want to start approaching people? Or how are you going to go about this, Kyborg? Oh, yeah. No, I'm buying drinks. I'm working my way around.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Just getting to know folks. Just seeing what's up. What's the word on the street, you know? Hey, what's going on with this priestess? What's up with that sheriff? That kind of thing. It seems like for the most part from what you gather, everyone has nothing but good things to say about Mother Abby.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Mother Abby cured my dog of Crip Curse, and it no longer has fleas. I think she even taught him how to play dad. Mother Abby is so wise and kind. She has given so much to our town, and she never asks for anything in return. What an angel from Dreama. Saint. I go to Mother Abby's chapel every day to make offerings to Dreama, and every day is a blessing. I heard Mother Abby grew up in the canyon outskirts, but you wouldn't know it from her preaching.
Starting point is 00:14:25 She has a way with words like you wouldn't believe. Who was the person who got killed? The sheriff's child passed away. Do we know if that was a disease-related thing? Terrible thing would happen to Pat Burns. Passed away from the crypt curse. Mmm.
Starting point is 00:14:41 That sounds like an unfair arrest, Gum Gum. I think we have a mystery on our foot here. Not really. We solved it, but yeah. Good thing I don't wear shoes. I don't know what that means. Good thing I don't wear shoes. If you're buying drinks for everyone,
Starting point is 00:15:00 we'll say you need to remove some money from your... Sure. How much do you want to spend on this ale? It's going to be about four copper pieces for a mug. You buy a gallon of ale for like two silver pieces. Two silver pieces isn't bad. I'll do two of those.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Four silver pieces. Yeah, I want to get everybody loosened up. I want everybody having fun. Oh yeah, they seem to be really enjoying it. While you're at it, go ahead and make a charisma check as well. Okay. All right. Well, I have poo charisma, but we're going to see.
Starting point is 00:15:30 The ale helps lubricate charisma. That is a two. Oh, sorry. That is a zero. It's a negative two. Yeah. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Yikes. They're not lifelong friends. They seem to be talking to you because you're greasing their mugs here a little bit. But you don't think you have any lifelong friends made after these encounters. That makes sense. That's all right. Okay. Time passes.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Your short rest is done. Your friends Bart and Mud rejoin Gum Gum and Kyborg downstairs. What's the plan? I want to share the news as briefly as possible with Bart and Mud. And say what's up going on with the mother lady and the sheriff's kid. Great. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:10 That's good information. Should we go see a show? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Your love of musical theater is really showing through here, John. Yeah. You're telling me there's some praying mantises that are prepping for a show?
Starting point is 00:16:27 I'm interested. So you guys make your way over to the barber shop? Yeah, I'm sure this is pertinent to the investigation. Yeah. Absolutely. There's a mystery afoot. Someone's been taken by the sheriff. People are dying.
Starting point is 00:16:38 There's a curse. Let's go catch a show. The arts are important, Gus. Maybe the sheriff went to go see a show. You never know. Maybe. Maybe. They need to enjoy themselves, Gus. Maybe the sheriff went to go see a show. You never know. Maybe. Maybe. They need to enjoy themselves too.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Yeah. Yeah. The sounds of scissors snipping and raucous music fill your ears. Four pies dressed in matching red feather caps and white poet blouses are playing various instruments while scissors and combs float about customers' heads in the room. Oh, so they're doing a show while they're doing haircuts. It's a Bard Burr Shop. Bard Burr Shop.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I like it. Does anybody need a haircut? Yeah, you see the price labeled here in the Bard Burr Shop. It costs 10 silver pieces. Jesus. I could use a touch-up. All right. Anybody else interested?
Starting point is 00:17:24 No, my hair is perfect. Bart's perfect the way he is. Gum-Gum cuts his own hair. Somehow that makes a lot of sense. Mud would like a haircut. You're welcomed into your chair by the Toon Sisters. You have Soap Toon, Rayno Toon, Haltoon, and Toetoon. Do I have to pick one?
Starting point is 00:17:46 Oh, no, no. They're all going to work together. Oh. The Toon Sisters set you down in a spinning chair and drape you with an apron. They start asking you questions left and right about your name, who you are, you know, just trying to get to know you.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Oh, and then, of course, most importantly, what sort of haircut you want. I'd like a bit of an undercut, and I'd like if on the sides and backs of my head, they would cut in runic symbols around my head. Hmm. Interesting. That's a look.
Starting point is 00:18:13 That's definitely a look. They all agree they can definitely accommodate your hair needs, and then they get to work tuning their instruments, writing down a few lyrics, scissors start floating around your hair, snipping away, and you hear them start a count off. One, two, a one, two, three, four. towers like a tree and just may smack your ass he tangles foes with sprawling vines then quakes the
Starting point is 00:18:46 earth below and don't forget to sprinkle dirt into his cup of joe his name is his name is your rock collected stud his name is his name is your fearless fear His name is Mudd. His name is Mudd. You feel this fear, Vogue, but.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And with that, they end with a flourish. Spin your chair around for you and your friends to see a new hairdo, which turned out quite fabulous in the end. And then they dramatically bow before you all. Bart cheers. He's really excited. Only Bart cheered?
Starting point is 00:19:28 Okay. I guess so. That's a direction. Seems like Kyborg and Gum-Gum don't appreciate the theater. Under their breath, the Toon sisters say some unkind things about Kyborg and Gum-Gum.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Kyborg and Gum-G gum gum go ahead and make a wisdom saving throws oh no i didn't clap yeah nine be nice to magical mantises can i clap now jump too late yeah 15 kyborg you think you make out what they said if your brain was dynamite there wouldn't be enough to blow off that sad excuse for a toupee it makes you feel really bad honestly you feel less sure yourself after it geez i already have crippling social anxiety this isn't helping gum gum you hear them say to you your best attack against a mind flare is starvation you don't quite understand it though so uh it doesn't seem to affect you as much i get it uh. It's funny. Yeah, Gum Gum laughed I think. It's pretty good. That seems to take him aback a bit.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Can we talk to them? Yeah, you're more than welcome to talk to them. What do you want to say? Thank you. It was a lovely performance and my hair looks quite fetching. I would love to know if you have any information to share about this crypt curse
Starting point is 00:20:43 that seems to be plaguing your town? Totune answers you. Says, oh, it's terrible. We have no idea what's happening. Seems to be making people lock up and paralyzing them. And eventually they pass away and perish. That's terrible. Yeah, luckily Mother Abby's been doing great work trying to heal people and make people comfortable who are afflicted with the crypt curse.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Crypt curse. Everyone loves Motherse. Crypt Curse. Everyone loves Mother Abby. I love her. Oh yeah, that Sheriff Gov has had it out for Mother Abby from the start. I heard she's looking for any excuse to get rid of her. Why? Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I think Sheriff Gov blames Mother Abby for her daughter passing away. By any chance, do you remember when Crypt Curse, how long ago it showed up in your town? Oh boy, I don't know exactly. It takes a while for it to really take effect, so I couldn't say for certain. Probably been several weeks at this point. And when did Mother Abby join your town?
Starting point is 00:21:38 Oh, she was here before that. Mother Abby showed up several months ago. Gotcha, gotcha. Interesting. Mother Abby showed up several months ago. Gotcha. Gotcha. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Just out of curiosity, you say that the sheriff is blaming Mother Abby, who is a saint to everybody else, for the death of her daughter. Do you know why particularly she's associating that with this saint of a character? I think the sheriff just has it out for anybody who's trying to do good and help other people who are in need.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Sheriff just wants to punish people. That seems like the opposite of what a sheriff should be doing. It seems you got a little bit of like a sheriff of Nottingham kind of a situation here. Yeah. Maybe if I got deputies, I just got in on the inside. Gum-Gum said a sheriff of Nottingham. I just want to point that out okay yeah i i heard
Starting point is 00:22:27 two jokes oh is that what he said oh that's good that's good oh i was gonna give you an inspiration dive but you already have it uh that's that's uh interesting and i appreciate the information um does anybody else have anything they want to discuss with these lovely individuals? Yes. Bart casts minor illusions to make himself look like a detective. He's got one of those little fedoras on. He whips out a notebook and a little pen. You have a magnifying glass, too?
Starting point is 00:23:00 Magnifying glass. He has suspenders on. His version of detective is the same as like Detective Pikachu. It's just a little hat. Bart's watched a lot of movies growing up from America. Yeah. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Go for it, detective. So, ladies. Pleasure. Pleasure seeing you here today. Thank you for being with us. Just ignore the camera that's recording you off to the side. That's for just investigative purposes. They look around slightly confused.
Starting point is 00:23:30 It's their shop. Are you referencing Sordo? Yes. Did you forget Sordo was here? Maybe. I'm a very good detective. Very perceptive. So, this sheriff, have they ever tried to take anyone else into custody for doing something that they claimed was wrong?
Starting point is 00:23:55 Oh, yeah. The sheriff will take care of anybody who breaks the law here in Pius Pass. She enforces the law very strictly. All right. Where did the sheriff come from? How did she make her way to this town? Oh, sheriff's been here forever. She grew up here. She's been living here for years.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Okay. Sheriff's daughter, what did she do when she got sick? What did she... What do you mean, what did she do? What was she doing? Like, how did she get sick? Yeah. Oh, we don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:23 We don't know how people get sick. Gotcha. What's the last thing she did before she got sick? Oh, we don't know. We don't know how people get sick. Gotcha. What's the last thing she did before she got sick? Oh, we don't know. She was leading her life like normal. Then she started falling ill. The sheriff just doesn't trust Mother Abby, so she never took her daughter over to her
Starting point is 00:24:35 for any assistance and healing, and she just passed away. And yet Mother Abby's in charge, or was the reason behind her death, even though she didn't even help. Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. Hmm. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Could you be witness? What? In the trial. Oh, no, we didn't see anything. We don't know what's going on. Oh. But maybe you can ask around. Maybe you'll find someone else in town who could help you with that.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Who? Oh, I don't know. There's plenty of people. I don't know if you've talked to Ludi over at the saloon or Chick over at the store. Ludi. Ludi. I guess you didn't ask her name at the time. She was the voluptuous pie running the saloon.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Oh, I think we should talk to Ludi. Okay. Be careful with that, Ludi. Be careful? Why is that? Oh, yeah. She's been doing dirty dealing. She's turning her mother's ship-shaped saloon into a dirty brothel.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I think that's why people have been getting sick. Oh, awful, awful. We should go back and look into that. That sounds terrible. We do need to go back to the pecker anyways to meet Chick. Yes, we do. Should we just head back to the pecker brothel? Is it twilight yet?
Starting point is 00:25:51 Did we waste enough time? Basically, if you want to keep looking around, it's not twilight. If you want to go back to Little Pecker, it's twilight. That's fun. I said we... Well, I'm ready. We can go back. Let's split the party.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Half of them go to the bar. Let's go to the pecker. Let's go to pecker. No, no, no, no. I want to explore this time loop thing. I hate you. I'm trying to be accommodating over here. So Bart and I are stuck in the twilight time and mud and cyborg.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Bart wants to go to the little pecker. Let's go to the pecker. Let's see. Lude? Lude? Ludi. Ludi. Ludi. let's go to the pecker let's see loot loot looty looty looty

Something that is never ending that you know is always there never questioned never questioned no matter if you fall off a cliff she's there to catch you you know be love shop now at pandora.net Long canyon shadows pour over the town as daylight begins to fade from a setting sun. Most town folk appear to have gone home and shops are starting to close up. Y'all make your way over to Little Pecker Saloon,
Starting point is 00:28:38 where sitting at the bar is Chick, the Toon Sisters, and Lootie. Seems like the bar is pretty much otherwise empty. Chick greets you guys and says, oh, thank you so much for coming, my friends. We're all in agreement. Sheriff Gov is obviously lost in her own grief and is looking for someone to blame.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Ludi chimes in and says, Mother Abby is clearly innocent. She's been healing people from the start of the Crypt Curse and has never asked for anything in return. Soap Toon says, my sister Reino overheard the Sheriff tell the deputy earlier today she plans to hang Mother Abby in the morning.toon says, My sister, Rayno, overheard the sheriff tell the deputy earlier today she plans to hang Mother Abby in the morning.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Rayno says, Yeah, and my sister, Hal, heard that more and more people are showing symptoms of the crypt curse, tingling and numbness from the legs up. Chick turns to you all and says, So you see, there's only one solution. We want you four to break Mother Abby out of jail tonight. What do you say?
Starting point is 00:29:24 Okay. Yeah, sure, sure. I'm surprised none of my compadres asked what's in it for us. I assume the death pogo stick. We've put together a fund to save Mother Abby. We'd be able to compensate you 30 gold pieces each. Wow. 15 now and 15 gold once the job is done.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Well, I mean, I don't think any of us could deny an offer like that. Right, fellas? No. Gum-Gum just went super sane. I think Gum-Gum's thinking of all the things he's going to buy. Well, we are heroes, so. I've already added the 15 gold pieces to my bag. Truly like the infinites.
Starting point is 00:30:09 All right. Yep. I guess that's what we're doing. Let's break a complete stranger out of jail. All you have to do is sneak up to the jailhouse using the cover of night, break in to rescue mother Abby, and then bring her back here at the saloon and we'll keep her safe. Okay. What is this jail?
Starting point is 00:30:28 Is there, like, guards? You probably just have to be careful with Deputy Green. Sheriff Gov may still be there, but Deputy Green never leaves the jailhouse. Okay. Does he have any weapons, this Deputy Green? Oh, yeah. Deputy Green's the deputy. He'll definitely be armed. And then
Starting point is 00:30:43 what if, like for the jail How do we get in? Well, that's up to you guys I assume it'll be locked up You can try to break in through a window Or break in through a door That's really up to your discretion That's more your department than ours
Starting point is 00:30:58 Okay, got it Right, so we should make a plan of how we're going to do this Okay, first I want to get a go-go stick. We can't get the stick. But the go-go stick, if we can bind our funds and got it, then he could jump onto the ceiling. It was only 20. I can go buy it.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Well, Chick is here. I mean, like from a metagame perspective, Chick is here with you guys. Like she's not, there's no one at the store. Oh. So then do we ask her? I'm going to need the go-go store. Oh. So then, do we ask her? I'm gonna need the go-go stick. Oh, I'm
Starting point is 00:31:28 sorry, sweetie. I can't get over to the store right now. We've got our own preparations to make here to safeguard Mother Abby. Oh, dang it. Once you bring Mother Abby back, we can definitely take care of that, though. Gus. Dang it. I have a very strong feeling Gus is trying to say, uh, you're not getting this pogo stick.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Okay. Okay. Alright. I have rope and I have arrows. I can shoot rope onto the ceiling and we can break in that way. We also probably should head over to the door. That's what I was going to say. Should we look at the jail first? But they might have like a scout. I got an idea.
Starting point is 00:31:59 I got an idea. I could get arrested and then we'll have an inside man. Dude, I have never been so excited about a plan you have put forward. We, okay. Gum gum, that's your most impressive idea yet. What are you going to do to get arrested? I don't know. I should maybe steal something.
Starting point is 00:32:21 You just want that javelin, don't you? You know that they'll take it away from you, right? Not if I don't get caught. You want to get caught. You got to get caught. That's part of the plan. Oh. You can't go to the jail cell without getting caught.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Well, what if you get caught? What if you get caught, Kyborg? Stop yelling at me whatever your name is i still think that i need to get on the roof i have i have in my possession like a drunk guy just now i think i need to get on the roof it sounds like a drunk guy's idea let's get on the roof i just need to get on the roof. All right. So wait, where is the little pecker in conjunction to...
Starting point is 00:33:10 You're like right next to it. The little pecker is in the southwest corner of town and the jail is the building immediately south from it at the very far south end of town. So if I get onto the roof of the little pecker, I could clear that. I can make that jump. It's maybe like a 10 foot,
Starting point is 00:33:28 just under 10 foot jump between the two buildings. Listen, I've got great athletics. I'm plus six athletics. I think I can make that. It's got a 10 foot jumping spin. 10 is not that hard. I'm an elf. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:33:43 That's pretty good. I just want Blaine to try To do 10 feet In real life right now I can mark it How tall is Kyborg? You're a wood elf right? He's 5 foot 10
Starting point is 00:33:57 5'10 big guy He's based off of a certain someone Huh I can give him guidance So he could really get a good check on it This sounds like our best plan But wait Do you have a plan of what happens when you get on top of it?
Starting point is 00:34:18 I'm sure there's windows I will let him know from inside Right There's windows that I could probably I could again with the rope I could tie, I could, again, with the rope, I could tie it onto some piping or something on the roof, lower myself down. There's got to be some exposed areas.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Is it daytime right now, Gus? No, it is nighttime. Perfect. Perfect time for a jailbreak. Yes, perfect. How about step one? Kyborg, at minimum, gets on top of the little pecker and then gives us a reading of all about the jail cell.
Starting point is 00:34:47 What's the roof look like? What's all that kind of stuff? Sounds like a great idea. I'm also the bow, the archer man. So the bow man. The bow man. Should I get arrested now? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:59 So Kyborg is going to work on getting on the roof. I don't know how that works. And then I guess Gum Gum is going to try to get arrested. We've all got plans and things to do. That being Bart and I are just going to watch. That's exactly what I was going to ask. So Kyborg is headed to the roof of the Little Pecker. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Gum-Gum is walking out of the Little Pecker looking for a way to get arrested. And Bart and Mud are staying in the Little Pecker just waiting for everyone to come back. Well, I guess waiting for Kyborg to come arrested. And Bart and Mud are staying in the little pecker, just waiting for everyone to come back. Well, I guess waiting for Kyborg to come back. Yeah. Is that a correct assessment of the situation? And we're probably also waiting for Gum-Gum to come back
Starting point is 00:35:33 with some guy on the street being like, hey, we found your friend trying to get up to something. Stop. Wait, I need someone to come with me to hide the things I steal. The thing I steal. Wait, so you want to steal something and then give it to someone else, but then get caught for the crime?
Starting point is 00:35:50 It actually makes a little bit of sense, is that he wants to get the thing that he's going to steal, and then he needs someone to take the thing he steals and hide it. Get on the roof with it. Wait, you know what? I like this plan. I'm done with you. You go and hiding. Get on the roof with it. You know what? I like this plan. I'm done with you, GumGum. I want to witness what happens here, so I'm going to help GumGum. Bart, do you
Starting point is 00:36:13 want to go team Kyborg, or do you want to come with us? Kyborg looks at Bart with big open arms and a big smile. Bart reluctantly goes with Kyborg. Okay, so Bart's up on the roof as well
Starting point is 00:36:31 yeah but Kyborg had to give Bart a little hand because Bart's very small so a big hand for Bart isn't the thing that we want to steal in the little pecker it's in the give and take trade house post oh it's oh we're in the little pecker I forgot yeah it's in the give and take trade house post. Oh, we're in the Little Pecker.
Starting point is 00:36:45 I forgot. Yeah, it's in the Give and Take. You're right. God, GumGum knew the answer. And we're going to take. We're not going to. I'll give something too. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:54 My freedom. Just to clarify before you guys go to break into the Give and Take, not that I'm trying to dissuade you from doing it. I just want to remind you the owner of the shop, Chick, is in the little pecker with you right now. Right. Okay. Which is perfect.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Okay, who should we deal with first? I'm going to roll the die. Wait, don't we need to do the, if I'm going to give the bouncy stick, don't we need to do that first? Oh, you guys are intentionally doing that first to give it to Kyborg? Yeah, but I'm gonna get caught with the stolen stuff, and that's
Starting point is 00:37:28 gonna make me get arrested. You're also trying to break into a jail. You're doing illegal things regardless. Alright, YOLO. Okay, so is this the plan? Yeah. Okay, so we will deal with the give and take first. We'll say Mud and Gum Gum slip out
Starting point is 00:37:44 of the Lil Pecker Saloon and head over to the Give and Take, which luckily for them is not very far away. It is just right across the way. It's the other building on the southern end of Pious Pass. Are y'all trying to be sneaky about this? Because you cross the main thoroughfare of the
Starting point is 00:38:00 town and the jail is at the southern end just right by you guys. Right. It's a... what's it look like outside it's a pretty clear night moonlit it's kind of cool in the evening despite how hot it was earlier in the day a little bit of dust is blowing up light wind it seems like it's pretty deserted everyone's bunkered down for the night i cast disguise self and try to make myself look as camouflaged as possible to the landscape around. Like what? Like sand?
Starting point is 00:38:29 Or what do you mean? Yeah. Like sand in the night. I look like, because it's dark, right? Yeah. It is moonlit. Okay. Then, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:36 I'm looking like I'm a little bit sandy. Because I'm like a giant green furball. According to that spell, you can change your clothing, your armor, your weapons, your belongings to look different. You can also make yourself seem one foot shorter or taller. I'm going shorter as well. Trying to get small. Small and thin.
Starting point is 00:38:55 What are you doing, Gum Gum? Looking for mud. Mud! Roll a perception check. This is not what we need to be sorting out right now. Not this is what we're doing. We're doubling down. I know.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Give him into the bed. Five. He rolled a five. Roll a stealth check. I rolled a 20. Yeah, gum gum. Mud disappeared. You don't know where you went.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Oh my God. Okay. I'm going know where you went. Oh my God. Okay. I'm going to roll into this. I walk over to the give and take. Okay. And I stand in front of it and I just try to use the most ghostly voice possible. Gum gum.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Steal me. Just to try to lure gum gum over. Ghost of crime. Ghost of crime. Ghost of crime. All right. Ghost of crime, I will do it. And I just run and dive through a window. Run and dive through a window.
Starting point is 00:40:01 I guess you're trying to make as much noise as you can. Uh-huh. Okay. That's right. He's trying to get caught much noise as you can. Uh-huh. Okay. That's right. He's trying to get caught. Yeah, he's trying to get caught. Okay. You run and dive through a window.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Make an athletics check to see how this dive looks for me. As he dives through, I slap his butt with guidance. Excellent. Athletics? A good pat on the butt will provide guidance for anybody. Stitch that on a pillow. Oh my god, I have the worst rolls. I have a plus 7 on athletics and I still only got 11.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Add the d4. Oh no, no. I'm going to say he makes this athletics check because he starts this process before you do your guidance. Your guidance hits him as he's doing his check. Okay. So yeah, GumGum, we'll say you... I mean, you managed to dive through the window, but you belly flop onto the floor of the give and take.
Starting point is 00:40:52 There's no, there's nothing graceful about it. You end up face down on the floor of the give and take where you were earlier amongst a bunch of broken glass and dust that is settling. Make a perception check. Gum Gum and Mud. God, Four again? Three. Good Lord. That's 21.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Gum Gum, you don't realize this. Maybe only Mud hears it because he's still outside. But you hear a rustling sound coming from the jailhouse to the south. Oh. What are you going to do, Gum Gum? Get up and run to where the magical pogo stick is. I like how that's what we're calling it. The magical pogo stick.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Yeah, it's canon now. There was a pogo stick, and wasn't there another thing that would search for stuff that you wanted? The pogo stick you're referring to, I believe, is the jump and jab. Uh-huh. And the thing that would search for things
Starting point is 00:41:40 is the gopher. Okay. He grabs a pogo stick and the gopher. The what? Jump and jab. The jump and jab. The jump and jab. And goes to the gopher. How are you doing this? They were in cases.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Are you like smashing the cases? Oh, yes. Oh, I smash. Gum gum smash? Oh, oh. Oh, gum gum smash. Duh. Let's say let's make a strength check to smash the case with the jump and jab in it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:42:12 I rolled four fours in a row. I have stepped around the corner so that I am behind the give and take. The line of sight of the jail has broken with me. So I'm just next to the give and take. Just want to make that clear. Okay. Can I, can I, do you want to use your,
Starting point is 00:42:27 your, your guidance on that? I guess I'll use it. So it's 11. Just for reference, mud, were you that alley you went behind to break line of sight with the jailhouse? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:37 You see on that North end of the building, there's a window up there as well. Into the give and take. Correct. The one that I've jumped through is facing the west towards the main thoroughfare of the town. Okay, GumGum, you managed to smash the glass case and grab the jump and jab.
Starting point is 00:42:52 And the little beaver. Gopher. The gopher. That was actually in a different case. The jump and jab was in the combat display case. The gopher is in the exploration display case, so you have to make another strength check to break that. Okay. Another smash. Just crash. Easy.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Come on. 19. There's a big strong boy. Smash it, and as you're grabbing the go for, make a perception check for me. Both of you. Both of us. Yes. 14. Oh, I only rolled a 7. Gum Gum,
Starting point is 00:43:23 you hear a sound that might delight you. You think you hear doggies in the distance. Doggies. Gum Gum, Gum Gum, throw me the things. I give the pogo stick to the gopher and I say, go find mud. He's
Starting point is 00:43:39 disappeared. Take this to him. And then I give it to him. Is that how that would work? In Gum Gum's mind, yes. While this is going on, Kyborg is stretching. He's getting ready for the big jump. It's stretching. Stretching is good. Make me one more perception check, Gum-Gum.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Hey. Not at all related to what's going on right now. I'm going to roll 2d20s. Okay. You give the jumping jab to the gopher. Tell it to find mud, set it down, and it doesn't seem to do anything. And I take him
Starting point is 00:44:09 and throw out the window. The window you jumped in or the window to the north side? West side was the window you jumped in. North side is the window I'm at. Oh, and I think you're the ghost of crime. Then, yes, I throw out the other window towards the ghost of crime.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Are you throwing just the jump and jab or the gopher as well? I guess I'll throw them both. Okay, make an attack roll like you're actually using the javelin to see if you can get it through the window. Twelve? Twelve? Eh, not bad. We'll say that you're able to get it through there. Say make an athletics check like you're tossing the gopher out the window.
Starting point is 00:44:43 I would just like to say how bad my rolls have been. I have like plus seven on athletics and attack. Chris, that's the reason I keep asking you to roll. I got to keep seeing where this is going. I just got a nat one on athletics. All right. Critical fail, you mean. Yeah, the javelin goes out the window just fine.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Then you grab the gopher and turn to throw it out the window and you firmly toss it right into the wall, right next to the window. Why did you go find my friend as you do so three large mastiffs jump through the window that you initially jumped in through and they surround you what's masses or what like large dogs okay cool like guard dogs, right? They look like big and impressive. And they're growling at you. Mud, you hear and see this happening. What do you want to do? Do you want to do anything about that?
Starting point is 00:45:31 I get the javelin, right? It came through the window? Yeah, the javelin did make it out. I think I got to leave Gungum to getting arrested, right? I think I have to do that. Bye. I guess, can I take like a long way around the small town to head back to the give and take? Yeah, you could probably head out like behind the hump house, out back past the chapel,
Starting point is 00:45:53 behind the barber shop to come back over to the little pecker if you wanted to. Like take the long way around. Yeah, I want to do that to avoid anybody seeing me. Okay, go ahead and make a stealth check. That's seven. We'll say you've got advantage because you're trying to disguise yourself and they're distracted. So roll one more. I am.
Starting point is 00:46:12 I am disguised. Son of a four. I tried to help you out here, dude. I really tried. You did. So what happens? Okay, let's deal with, I guess, Gum Gum first. What do you do, Gum Gum, when you see these three Mastiffs jump through the window?
Starting point is 00:46:26 What is around me right now? Well, you're in the middle of the shop. You're by the exploration case where, you know, you smashed it and then tried to toss the stuff out the window. And what else was in the exploration in the attack case? The attack case also had the Brew Bow, which is a crossbow that launches potions. And in the exploration case, the other item was the whistle of Noma. It's a whistle that summons creatures. Grab them all.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Throw them to me. I grab the whistle of Noma. What kind? It summons creatures? Yes. Blow it. Blow it. I grab that, and I blow it. He's doing it. What happens?
Starting point is 00:47:05 And secretly I hope that it summons my dad. Roll me a charisma check. I'm depressing really fast. Just some kid breaking into a room and just going, Ooh, dad. Dad, where are you? Dad. Is Gum Gum charismatic?
Starting point is 00:47:21 I think he's probably about a four charismatic. I don't think he's very charismatic. Oh, he just got a 20. He got an A20. Ooh, nice. Lucked out. It's because his heart was in it. Well, I need you to make one more charisma check for me, Gum Gum.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Oh, he's got disadvantage. It's a four. Come on, give me a four. Give me a four. 12. A 12. You blow the whistle. It's got like a little silver chain attached to it.
Starting point is 00:47:45 You pick it up. You blow the whistle. And's got like a little silver chain attached to it. You pick it up. You blow the whistle. And it makes a pretty note, but nothing seems to happen. Actually, what does happen is the Mastiffs jump at you. Cool. Oh, it worked! Well, I say two of them jump at you. Do the thing that Schwarzenegger does where he slaps their two heads together and says,
Starting point is 00:48:06 Stay. One of them manages to bite and latch onto you. Go ahead and make a strength saving throw, Gum Gum. 11. I just want everybody to know that I assumed the dogs would just guard him and hold him there until someone came and got him. I didn't think these Mastiffs were just going to attack. Yeah, it sounds like they're about to maul him. The Mastiff chomps onto Gum-Gum's arm doing five points of damage. Oh, damn, Gum-Gum's dead.
Starting point is 00:48:35 The sheer weight of the Mastiff pulls Gum-Gum down to the floor, and Gum-Gum is now lying prone with two Mastiffs over him. The third Mastiff jumps through the northern window of the shop looking for something out there. Make another stealth check for me, Mud. Okay. I will make a stealth check. That's a 20.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Oh, never mind. I actually have plus two on stealth. And don't you have, you're disguised. Yeah, I'm disguised as dark sand. Cut to the top of the other building that me and Bart are on, and our feet are dangling over the edge, and we're just kind of hanging out. We're like, I wonder how Gum Gum and Mud are doing. We all of a sudden have popsicles, and we're just looking out into the sunset.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Yeah, this is real Bart connection time. The sky's really pretty right now. Good, good. The moon's nice. So, Mud, you had a 20 on your stealth check. That I did. The other Mastiff jumps out that window to the north where the Javelin came out of. And it turns and looks at you immediately.
Starting point is 00:49:35 What? He got a 23. Oh my god. He does the same thing. He lunges at you. Do I get to respond at all? After him. He misses though. Okay. So lunges at you. Do I get to respond at all? After him. He misses though.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Okay. So he flies off to the side. I guess. I cast entangle. Cactus and succulents sprout out from the ground. Surrounding the Mastiff with little thorns all over the place. What kind of save does he need to make? Strength 14.
Starting point is 00:50:02 He's strong. I'm sorry to tell you. Let's see. Yeah. But the M mastiff seems unaffected by it gum gum what are you going to want to try to do inside the shop so one doggy's on top of me right and the other one's growling at you next to you is it growling in a i'm going to attack you way or growling as in don't move way make an animal handling check. 14. You think that it's trying to intimidate you.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Okay. I'm sorry. Leave me alone, doggy. And I like cower and like. Doggy. And try and like be whatever a dog might interpret as a not moving thing. And maybe I'll also blow that whistle again to try and soothe it. Okay. When one of the dogs is chomped down on your arm,
Starting point is 00:50:50 I guess you would still have one free arm if you want to try to blow the whistle again. Yeah, sure. Why not? Roll me a charisma check. 14. And one more, please. Four. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:59 You blow the whistle again. It does not seem to have any soothing effect on the dogs. Oh, then I just put it back in my pocket and whimper. Okay. They do not seem to be attacking you or doing any more damage. Mud. After you cast entangle, did you try to like escape or run away or anything? Oh, yeah. I immediately cast that and ran. I didn't want to see if that thing worked. Okay. What's your move speed? Is it like 30? 30.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Doggy's faster than you. Mud starts running. Are you still going to follow that same path, trying to take the long way back to the Lil' Pecker? Can I cut through past the well and get close to the Lil' Pecker? Yeah, I mean, that's a much more direct path. The well is just like a little north, so you can sleep by there. I want to do that, and I want you to tell me if I can see Kyborg on the top of Little Pecker.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Don't pull us into this. We're the breakout group. I'm going to say probably not because they would be on the other end of the building and it's a multi-story building. Like by the time you're at the well, the well is only 10 feet or so away from the Little Pecker. You'd be pretty close to the building.
Starting point is 00:52:04 I don't think you'd have a lot of fight on it. Kyborg and Bard are playing patty cakes by now. Here's what we're going to do while they're playing patty cake, okay? This is Hail Mary time. We're talking about our crushes. There is a mastiff attacking me, so I am going to throw the javelin up at the top of the little pecker, and I am going to whistle as loud as I can. Make an attack roll with the javelin up at the top of the little pecker, and I am going to whistle as loud as I can.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Make an attack roll with the javelin. Oh, my God, Bart's dead. What would be an attack roll to do that? Roll me a d20. An 18. 18, okay. Yes. So, yeah, you grab that javelin and toss it.
Starting point is 00:52:46 And it goes like in a perfect arc. I forget I have hidden step. I could have turned invisible at any point. The javelin's clearly silhouetted as it crosses the moon and lands right on top of the little pecker saloon. Right as you let go, the mastiff lunges at you again. Oh, wait. Hidden step is a bonus action.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Oh. Oh, so you toss it and then you want to use hidden step? Yeah. Okay, so you use hidden step and what do you do with that? You just disappear? I turn invisible. I turn invisible and I start running still. So when you turn invisible, the master still gets a chance to detect you at
Starting point is 00:53:20 disadvantage. So it's going to see if it can find you. Bad dog. I hate to tell you this, it rolled a 20. Disadvantage. It's at disadvantage. So it rolled a 15 see if it can find you. Bad dog. I hate to tell you this. It rolled a 20. Disadvantage. So it rolled a 15. What's your armor class, Mud? 15. Yeah, it hits. Even though you are invisible, something about the keen
Starting point is 00:53:36 nose of a dog still is able to zero in on you and chomps down on your arm. Go ahead and make the strength saving throw. That's a 22. Oh, okay. You are not pulled down like Gum-Gum was. However, the dog bite does hurt you quite a bit. It's a little ouchy, and it does six points of damage.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Gum-Gum, are you still trying to keep the dogs calm that you're with? Yeah, yeah. Okay. How's that going for you? The only thing I would be doing, I guess, is blowing that whistle. Okay. Mud, what do you want to do? The dog seems to be growling at you at this point, I don't think I'd be doing I guess it's blowing that whistle okay mud What do you want to do the dog seems to be growling at you at this point even though you use hidden step and you know
Starting point is 00:54:11 Obviously it bit you I Cast earth tremor you gonna cause an earthquake. I love the stealth part of this mission is gone Oh, it's gone as soon as those dogs are able to see through invisibility, okay? barking dogs and two screaming men. I just love to hear just how this sounds from Kyborg and Bart's position. Like, what the heck is
Starting point is 00:54:35 happening? We hear just like muffled sounds. It starts off with a man jumping through a window and it's just gone wrong since then. We're busy bonding, though, so we don't really notice it very much. Yeah, there's probably an alarm system too. She's like... Yeah, the sandy terrain starts rumbling and shaking.
Starting point is 00:54:55 The dog seems to become... Are the dogs dexterous? Unsteady on its feet. Dogs are pretty dexterous. It has to make a dexterity saving throw. What are they feeding these dogs? It's almost like these dogs are bred for this purpose, huh? Huh.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Able to see through invisibility and break through cactus and deal with earthquakes. The dog got a 17 on its dexterity saving throw. Doggone it. At this point, Mud has also just gone onto the ground and just fallen into a fetal position because he's giving up. You're still, you're still, why don't you hide? You're still disguised. I'm casting things and I'm just running and this thing is following me.
Starting point is 00:55:32 At this point, you could get into the little pecker if you wanted to at this point. I so want to. I so, so, so want to. And I yell, I yell, base, base. All right. You run into the little pecker and the mastiff charges in chasing you. And everyone who was in the little pecker turns in astonishment.
Starting point is 00:55:53 They're shocked. They had no idea any of this was going on. Chick, Ludi, the Toon Sisters. And they all turn to look at you as the mastiff comes in growling at you. Okay, we'll deal with you in just a second. Gum Gum, as you're laying there, surrounded by the dogs, Deputy Green comes in and says,
Starting point is 00:56:10 What's the meaning of this? The dogs are biting me. All right, let's go, partner. She pulls out some handcuffs and puts them on you and starts leading you away. Okay, where am I going, partner? I'm putting you under arrest. I'm taking you into holding.
Starting point is 00:56:28 We'll deal with you in the morning. Okay. Okay. Sorry. I just want to point out, all of this was done just so Kyborg could make a 10-foot jump. I know. I love how off-the-rails it is. No, no.
Starting point is 00:56:40 I'm also an inside man. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. It's a great movie by the way
Starting point is 00:56:45 it is actually mud chick ludy and the toon sisters all turn to you and say what's happening dogs are attacking help help anybody have some meat or anything those are deputy green's dogs those are the night watch dogs why are they chasing you I don't know
Starting point is 00:57:01 right right around then deputy green comes in at that moment and sees her dog growling at Mud and says, all right, come with me. Good news, everybody. We have two inside men. Deputy Green puts the shackles on you, Mud, and leads you out of the little
Starting point is 00:57:17 pecker. We're supposed to get Gum Gum arrested. I was framed. All right, all right. Keep it down. Let's go. You're led. Wait, so am I with him? I did a little time shifting there. Deputy Green would have gone and taken care of you first and then taken you to jail and then come after that and grab Mud.
Starting point is 00:57:35 As Deputy Green is bringing Mud back in, Deputy Green tosses the two of you into a jail cell with another prisoner. Y'all are in one of those big communal jail cells. I'm sorry, Mud. I know you told me not to break into the place, but I did it. I'm sorry. Why are you here?
Starting point is 00:57:53 Are you here to save me? Yes, I'm here to save you, right? The plan's coming perfectly together. I'm sorry I broke into the place. I know you said not to. I say it real loud. Deputy Green says sorry I broke into the place. That's okay. No, you said not to. I say it real loud. Deputy Green says, save it for the judge,
Starting point is 00:58:09 and locks the door and says, don't disturb the other prisoner. And you look at the other prisoner with a bag over their head. Deputy Green locks the jail cell up and says, all right, you all keep it down, and we'll see what the sheriff says about all this in the morning. Right. Thank you. Deputy Green walks back out. On one side of the room sits a cluttered desk and chair,
Starting point is 00:58:29 and on the other side stands an iron bar jail cell, which you're in. Inside the cell on the floor is a small person with their head bagged and their hands and feet manacled. They look to be wearing a tattered plaid dress. Do you think it's Mother Mary? What's her name? It's got to be, right? Abby.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Mother Abby. Not Mary. That's a different mother. That's the Beatles. Yeah. Hello. What you in for? Sounds like the prisoner's gagged under the bag. All you can hear is
Starting point is 00:58:57 mumbling. Interesting accent. We take the bag off and the gag off. It looks to be a little pie girl. She timidly turns her head toward you and slowly opens her eyes. Her pupils appear milky white and her skin is blotchy and pale. Drool starts oozing from her mouth. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Suddenly, she breaks free from her manacles and violently lunges toward you. Why are we in this jail cell with this? As she bears down on you, you notice a name stitched across the pocket of her dress. It reads Pat Earns. Oh my goodness. Oh no. The End All that from the mire of clay, where the hair is green as grass His druid tower's like a tree and just may smack your ass He tingles foes with sprawling vines and quakes the earth below Don't forget to sprinkle dirt into his copper joe His name is Mudd, his name is Mud You're rock, deck, and stud
Starting point is 01:00:25 His name is Mud His name is Mud You're fearless, fearful, Bud His roots remain a mystery They've yet to be unearthed His family name is Bramblecrack Whatever that is worth He doesn't care to break the ice
Starting point is 01:00:48 Except for frosty knives Don't expect for him to chat Unless you have nine lives His name is Mud His name is Mud You're rock, licked, and stirred His name is Mud His name is Mud
Starting point is 01:01:08 You're fearless, fearful, Bud Oh, what's with the rocks? Oh, if they talked Oh, what would they say? They'd probably say His name is Mudd, His name is Mudd His name is Mudd, His name is Mudd Fearless, fear-bog, bud
