I've got a question that I know is going to be on everyone's minds all week. Do any of you want to buy all five seasons of The Wild DVD? What are you moving? That's like the only time I think people find those like oh no I just I'm trying to get rid of stuff and I've got a bunch of books and I'm just

throwing them out I don't want all these books I don't need all these screenwriting books I was just gonna ask you are you throwing out the screenwriting books an actor was just going to ask you, are you throwing out the screenwriting books? An actor prepares and all this shit. You don't prepare anymore. That's,

you know, I'm not going to throw them out. I'm going to donate them to a library, but my DVDs, I was like ready to be like, what are you going to do with these? That's an old nonsense thing. And then I'm like,

I can just put these on eBay. People might buy them. Maybe I'll make a couple hundred bucks. a couple hundred bucks is that a lot i actually bought my my collected set of the wire dvds from ebay some some years ago well would you like down by law criterion collection oh i'll buy that off you all right five hundred dollars okay that is a fair price. I don't know how you can afford to sell it. Shocking Express, Matthew? Ooh, actually. I'll hold this one for you.

Hold that one for me. Though I don't know why you would get rid of DVDs when things are disappearing from streaming left and right. Yeah. I'll just give this one to Skid. I'm buying more DVDs now. Seven Samurai. Is that a criterion as well?

This is the game. Do I detect a criterion? Yeah, I've got a lot of criterions i think there's only i maddie i think you're right but i do think there is one decent reason to get rid of dvds which is something that came up uh it was new year's eve my sister was over and we were like oh uh i can't remember something came up with it you want to borrow this oh she wanted to borrow a dvd for my dad she's like i want to borrow that i'm watching yours i want to watch that movie and then she paused to borrow a DVD from my dad. She's like, I want to borrow that movie. I haven't watched it in years. I want to watch that movie.

And then she paused and went, wait a minute. I don't think I have a DVD player in my house. That is the one reason to move on from DVDs if you literally don't have a player in your house anymore, which some people will be surprised to find is the case. They don't realize, wait a minute. I don't have one anymore, especially people that don't have video game systems i was like will your playstation play a dvd yeah your playstation well and then if you have a external card reader or external uh disc reader for your laptop and then you hdmi your laptop to your tv boom yes but they don't make external they don't make discs in

laptops anymore not really I have an external, external disc reader. It's a USB plug and you plug it in. Oh, external. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's something else you had to buy. It didn't come with the computer. Here's the thing.

Everything in this box, I can find. Even if I'm like, you know what? I really want to watch the Royal Tenenbaums. I could just find it. It might cost $3. What?

For now, but there's actually, there's a real,'ll send you a really interesting article there's like a bunch of movies i just feel like you made the investment clearly you cared about it one day i mean if you're gonna donate to a library donate to a library that sounds great and they might even take your dvds but no i'm selling it to a library. Oh, no. At an extreme markup. Yeah. But you're really worried about this? You think we're going to lose all this stuff? No, I mean, I'm not really worried,

but I also, everything you named, I was like, that's a great thing to have. Why are we losing it, Matthew? Is it because of licensing issues? And are you a hoarder? And I'm not an expert in this,

but basically certain services that will go unnamed have been taking stuff off of their streaming platform possibly for the tax write-off possibly because they're going to then sell it to a different streaming service to make more money so it might you know things might come back on other platforms might not it's just it's an interesting time because streaming is being is reshifting but it'll happen to me all the time i'll be looking for a title and it will not be available anywhere streaming there's a lot of movies that are relatable because listen all of the episodes of housewives and then peacock or something or paramount bought it you know i

don't have either of those it It's on one of them. Anyway, it's rough out there. I agree with you. I totally relate. Same phenomenon. See? Yeah. Kate feels the same way we do.

Chunging Express. You should actually get Peacock because they have all the below decks. Chunging Express is great, but if I ever want to watch it again, I feel like I can drag it now even still I'm going to be like I gotta get that DVD and I'm going to hold on to it just so that I might want to watch it one more time that's what we used to do

I've got an example what's that show that you guys told me to watch that's freaking hilarious the Ricky Gervais extras gone I want to watch it these guys say i would love it and i can't find it anywhere even to buy even to pay for i can't find it but sure i mean sure i would like d well i what we did is i have a lot of dvds but i don't

want to declutter my shelves i just bought like like a disc wallet and put stuff in there takes up very small amount of i. And I can never sell them because they don't have the clamshell. People want the clamshell. Yes. Troy's got his finger on the pulse of what people want, Matthew. I'm telling you, I'm putting these wire DVDs out.

I don't like it when you whisper clamshell. I'm going to see if I can purchase a set of the wire DVDs on eBay right now. I'm telling you, I look and see. Didn't she just purchase one? 75 bucks for five. Some of these I've never even watched because I bought them and then like HBO streaming started. Oh, I can get it, Troy.

Look at this. How much? I'll match that price. Brand new, $37.99. The entire collection? All five seasons. In the original boxes? No, no.

This is the special complete series. You don't want that crap. That's what I have, actually. This is the original. She's got all of these original scratched DVDs. Okay, I can get the complete fifth season DVD. That's the whole thing. Original packaging.

Yep, that's it right there. $662. $662? Yes, Troy. yes joy 662 you know what five bucks right now you want no i'm gonna offer the whole set there's more money in the whole set you can't buy these anymore you can buy them. You can buy these. These actual ones. Everyone start your bidding in the chat for how much you would buy Troy's used DVDs for. Is that against Twitch's terms of service? What you really should do,

and I'm not even joking, is you should auction them off for charity. Anybody want the complete works of George Carlin? Amazing. I will say though, as a child, um, growing up in like the changeover from VHS to DVD,

I do have like vivid memories of our, our entertainment cabinet where we would keep all the movies. And I remember the spines like vividly of different VHS tapes that I loved and different DVDs. And we had some like classic movies in the front that I will never forget. And that I wish I had on DVD. Actually, I do have a few of them.

I took them from my mother's house. But we had Rocky Horror Picture Show, Spinal Tap, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. have a few of them i took them from my mother's house um but we had rocky heart picture show spinal tap uh crouching tiger hidden dragon and those are the three that i just remember and i'm like oh those movies oh classics and they're sort of classics kind of but like i just say classics physical there's something to having the physical object so i i agree with you troy that there is value in it but more so not to sell to to like have. Yeah, but it's also like what, look, I knew Troy for years. We hung out in his apartment all the time. I know

those wire DVDs. They sat on the bottom shelf, unwatched by anyone a decade ago. They were not watched. Yes, it's very true. Like they just collected dust and things piled up on them and dice would just get lost behind them. Like that's all they were there for.

They were a dice barrier. So now it's just like, just get rid of them. They clutter up your life. I'm not like, listen, when I found out about the whole Marie Kondo thing, I was like, that sounds like my jam. But I don't have the time to do all that. But I like the idea of just like does this does does breaking bad season four bring me joy i hope so it's wonderful it's a wonderful but like does this blu-ray that i've never even opened when this will never not be available to me if i want to watch it

no but i've maybe i can sell. So does selling it bring you joy? Yes. Well, there you go. It feels like a scream. Keep it. Keep it. So therefore, keep it. Yeah.

I can get a hot, hot brand new Breaking Bad Season 4 Blu-ray on eBay for $6.41. What are you doing with these $6.62, $6.40? Is it the same seller? Wait, wait, wait. I found eBay for $6.41. We're doing these $6.62, $6.40. We're the same seller? Wait, wait, wait. I found one for $8.99. So if you want to charge the premium price. All right, so there's a market.

There's a market. So you're telling me there's a market. That's the thing. It's like, I could sell it. You know, that's what I'm saying. There might be $100, $150 in here. You know, it's like going to a yard sale.

I'm just yard selling my DVDs online. How many it's like going to a yard sale. I'm just yard-sailing my DVDs online. How many hours are you going to spend putting them online, packing them, responding to buyers? Is it worth the hourly rate? It's really not going to be worth that. $110. Yeah, no. We have had multiple extremely important company-related parcels

that needed to be sent from your house that have never been sent because you don't know how to go to a post office and mail something. I know. I just can't do it. I know. So like, what are you going to do when you actually sell the full collection of the wire for $42?

You're going to have to refund your six 62 a season. You need like the Catherine Keener we sell your stuff on eBay store from 40-year-old virgin. I really do need that. It seemed silly at the time, but that's what I need. You know, Troy, you said it. You do live in the country now. You could have a yard sale.

That's true. You just put tables out there, put the DVDs out, sit out there in your lawn chair, meet the neighbors. There are people that are way into yard sales. They go, they buy, they flip on eBay. Gary Vee still goes to yard sales and fucking flips shit. There's money to be made.

There's a video you have to see, Troy, that skit I think you would like, and Kate, you guys, I think most of all, but it's called The Price Master. They're on YouTube. Have you seen this skit? Do you know what this is? No, no. What is that? Master. They're on YouTube. Have you seen this, Candido?

No, no. What is that? It's like a yard sale that these people host and they film it and there's this guy in a golden mask on a little stage that they built with a microphone and people have to ask him what he wants to sell items for. So they hold up a shitty mug and they're like, can I have this mug?

And he just goes, that will be for hundred thousand dollars and the people are just like okay no and then they're just like okay bye and they just kind of walk

away and it's real it's like real people and they just do it as a gag and he's always like five million dollars and he has like an echo on his voice and they just do it as a gag. And he's always like, five million dollars. And he has like an echo on his voice. And Troy, that's what you should do. I'm just looking for 110 bucks. I'll give you the whole box.

With a low, low price. Did I mention down by law? All right. Let's play a little Pathfinder, huh? Chunking Express DVD Quentin Tarantino Presents Edition. 99 cents on eBay. Well, we're about to take the Chunking Express to end of the combat town. All the leaves are brown.

All the leaves are brown. It's good, it's good, it's good. This was, you've been on this boat for what seems like three episodes. Actually, four episodes because you guys started this in Philly. It dates back to 2022. This dream has been started last year. It really has. Early hominids were just discovering stone tools when we started last year. It really has. Early hominids were just discovering stone tools when we started this contest.

Hominids. I really thought like halfway through last week's ep I was like, I think this is going to be over pretty soon, especially when you neutralize the wraith. But the cap'n, old Captain Crunch has still got some pop in him. Even though he scratches the top of your mouth.

It is... Let's snap and crackle him. Let's snap and crackle him. So ready. Suki, you just went. That's where I have a note that says Suki just went. So Atticus... Oh, I grabbed the hat.

I grabbed the hat. You grabbed the hat. Listen, you grabbed the hat. But remember, to wake up is three actions. It is a will DC, a will save, a decently high DC, okay? And then you wake up. Great, you got the hat. Mission accomplished.

However, Ethel will die. Are you ready to make that sacrifice? You're talking to me? I'm talking to make that sacrifice. You're talking to me? I'm talking to all of you. Also, I want to say, because I know on the map it's hard, but I am above the captain because I am a pterosaur. I see. I'm a flying dinosaur.

I'm flying, so I'm sort of like, I guess, hovering above him with the hat in my talons. You know, I'm embarrassed. I was so taken back by your mispronunciation of the dinosaur that I didn't give you an effective pawn. So let me give you one right now. There you go. What?

That's not me. What the fuck? That's not me. So sad. There you are. It's a dead stegosaurus. Stegosaurus. You know me.

That's not me. And I'm purposely leaving the background on there. Wait, wait, wait. It's a S-T, so you even pronounce the S? Right. It's a Stegosaurus, I believe. Stegosaurus. Stegosaurus? Stegosaurus. Right. Stookisaurus, there you are.

You make me sound dumb. Look at those wings. Atticus, you are up. Okay. Atticus, you are up. Okay. Atticus, good buddy. Take the hat. Take the hat from me. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I'm flying. Okay, great. Yes. Yes. Okay. Athletics check. I was trying to think of like a clever way to take it from you. I could just literally go take it from you.

I'm flying. I'm flying. Wait a flying. I'm flying. Wait a minute, I'm flying. Look at me, way up high there. Look at me, I'm flying. Atticus. Moves. Past the wraith.

Flying down. Well, no, you're up. So he's up, so he flies to Suki. Troy's putting wings on top of the horrible dinosaur drawing. I

believe I can fly. I believe I can fly. I do believe in fairies. I do look like that. I do look like that. I'm a pudgy little dinosaur with tiny little bat wings. And that's what I look like canonically. Atticus is going to fly to Suki, interact action, grab the hat, and then fly action, fly 30 feet further out from the ship, out over the water.

Wow. Okay, so operation hat Extraction has begun. Sha-ga-ga-ga-ga. Evidently so. It is Operation Hat Extraction. It is Ethel's turn. Ethel, you are at zero hit points, and you're stabilized. So you're unconscious.

You're not dying, right? Yes. But you do take some persistent damage, which immediately takes you to dying one. Yes, it does. But I have a hero point. Do you? Oh.

It's a new session. New session. Tech. Tech. Gross. Nih. Quality. Gross. Genius.

I'm not going to use it. Oh, come on. That would be so good. You've made me question the entire con. I'm not going to use it. Oh, come on. That would be so good. You've made me question the entire con. I know. I know, Matthew. Why do you have to shine a spotlight on it, ruin it for all of us? Starting a new rule.

When combats carry over, you don't get the cap to the end of the con. Okay. So, yeah, that is Atticus's turn. He's done. Okay. And Ethel also done Do I need to roll a save? No, because I

He were fine And then at the end of your turn you persisted No, you roll a flat check to get rid of the persistent damage Oh, yeah Did you roll that last time? I didn't roll it last time You cheater How dare you?

How dare you? I'm balancing two Pepsis. It's true. I'm trying to sell DVDs. You just walk into a bar. You have eBay up on your other monitor. What's the flat check to get rid of the persistent damage? Just walk into a nightclub.

Why season three? Why season three? That's a one. So that was last turn. Now here's the flat check to get rid of the persistent damage. Walking to a nightclub. Why season three? That's a one. So that was last turn. Now here's the flat check for this turn. Lame hand off the chest piece. Twelve. Okay. So we

did it by the book. Wait, what's the DC for you? Joseph is fifteen. Oh, fifteen. That's right. Great. Awesome. Love persistent damage. I love persistent damage. 15, that's right. Great, awesome. Love persistent damage. I love persistent damage. I got that one right. You got that right.

It's Pepsi's turn. Pepsi, oh, Pepsi, oh no, Pepsi is still, they're just doing their threatening thing. That was the only thing I could command them. Oh no, they have two actions. Did you command to do other actions or was your thing the whole...

My command is one. So they took their one action to threaten the space and now they have one action left. So they're just gonna bite at Captain Voodra. I think you're making this up. What are you talking about? Is this the special ability for the constrictor? Oh no.

Hold on, everybody. It takes one of my actions to command my companion. Right. That was my action. And it hasn't been its turn yet. No, it has. They took their first part of their turn to threaten the space. Now they're getting their second action. They're in the initiative order.

I'm with you, sister. Yeah, they can act whenever. I looked this up, Joe, because you said this last time. They can act during my turn. They can act after my turn. As long as I use my one action to command them first, then they can take their... Oh, that's amazing.

I didn't know that. I looked it up because I was like, it seems dumb that they can't act until I'm fully done with my turn. But it's, yeah, it's not. You can do it at the beginning. So what's the point of their initiative? They technically don't have an initiative. I think we messed that one up.

I think what it is is they just act on my turn whenever I want them to. Yeah. Okay. That was the exact opposite. Okay. I can double check, but I was rereading the Druid stuff earlier, and I'm pretty sure. But either way, this is legal, but I'll check the initiative stuff. A month from now when we're caught up on cannon fodder, we'll know.

Oh, we'll know. We'll apologize to Sydney on air. I promise you. Right. Apologize to Sydney on air. That promise you. Right. We'll apologize to Sydney on air. That's a 30 to hit. Natural 17. 30 to hit my poor flat-footed captain.

That is a hit. Nice. Is he still flat-footed there, Kate? Yep. Even between weeks? Yep. Okay. If he's not, Matthew gets a hero point.

Fair enough That's nine points of piercing damage As it bites into his leg I can't find him on the board He's on here Nine points of piercing Alright, you guys have done like a little Bit of damage to him, not a lot

It almost seems like he's like getting some of these hit points back every round too, which is weird. Which is like totally weird. Alright, that is your turn? Yep. Alright. Well now, it's the captain's turn and the captain is mad.

What's the range on this? Range of touch. Perfect. Who's nearby? Ethel. Suki, you're still, oh, you're a dinosaur. All right, it's going to take a step. Pepsi does not get an attack of opportunity. And then he is going to touch Eris.

Eris, I need you to roll a fortitude save. And don't lie about your result. Why would I lie? I don't know. I'm using my hero point. I rolled a natural one. Oh, lord. Good use of the hero point.

Natural 12, so that's a 27. Fail. Seriously? Yeah, not a critical fail. His DC, his spell DC is very high. This is gonna be a chill touch that's been heightened

to 5th level. Oh. Um, so this is going to be... You're living, right? Negative? Yeah, technically. Damage equal to alright basic 43 you're alright so

enfeebled for one round on a you didn't critically fail so it is going to be 5d4 plus my spellcasting mod decent amount of damage oh A decent amount of damage. Oh. Not a lot.

That is going to be 19 points of damage. Cold damage. Cold. You just feel this icy hand reach out towards your mouth neck. It touches you right below the gizzard. And you just feel this chill run throughout your body. I don't have a gizzard. Well, then he doesn't know what he touched. She goes, ew, don't touch me.

What was that? Aris, it's your turn. Cold, slithery hand. It's my turn? It's your turn, and you're right next to this guy. All right, listen. I'm being dragged down to the pits of this blood ship. It's my turn? It's your turn, and you're right next to this guy. All right, listen. I'm being dragged down to the pits of this blood ship.

I was just touched by a gross, cold hand. An angel. Damp hand. I'm going to cast on myself Gaseous Form. Gaseous. Gaseous. Gaseous. Gaseous. Gaseous. Okay. Gaseous form. Gaseous. Gaseous. Gaseous. Gaseous.

Gaseous. Okay. Gaseous. Yeah, so I guess I touch myself, and I transform into a vaporous state, and I'm amorphous. I can't, like, cast spells while I'm like this, but I can fly. So I'm hoping I can get away from the chain, get away from this creepy cold guy. Oh, that's right, because you were grabbed. So now that you, what a great use of that. So now that you've gone gaseous,

the manacle just has nothing to grab onto. Is there any penalty to casting while grabbed? Is there? Did you add the grabbed John to your hero? Add condition. I can't imagine. Isn't there something about a flat check when you have a manipulate action?

DC5. Yeah, I think you just might have to do a DC5 flat check. So grabbed also added flat footed. That wouldn't affect you. It's just the DC5 to be able to cast that spell because the spell has the manipulate. So it's a flat check of DC five.

Yep. Just roll a five or higher. I rolled an eight. Oh. The skin of your gizzard, you made it. Oh, my teeth are wet. And then she can move 10 feet while she's flying. So I'm going to move away.

And she goes, I'm sorry, Ethel. Diagonal is 10 feet, right? No, first one is five. I'm going to go. Oh, I don't want to go next to the lady either. She's up in the air, right? No, whatever. No, the wraith.

Okay. You can go back towards the other boat. I'll go next to the lady. She's stupefied anyway. How dare you? She may be clumsy. She may be stunned. But she is not stupefied.

Okay, and also, at the end of my turn... She's quite cunning. Impending Doom takes its final form. So for him, I forget what we said was his vision of dying. It was all the people he'd oppressed pulling him down below decks to just stab him over and over. So maybe as the chain lets go of me, he kind of sees that. It's trying to bring him down, and it resolves.

So you become Frightened one, which you already are, and at the end of the third round, which is right now, you take half damage. So that's, do I roll 66 and then half it, or just roll 3d6? No, 66 and half it. Okay. Oh, wow.

So that pain is going to give him mental damage, just like weakens his actual physical form. That's cool. Cool spell. 22, so that's 11 points of damage. Nice. All right. That's good.

Great. That was Eris's turn. Now it is the Bloodwind's turn. What should the Bloodwind do? Alright, so Aldo's back up on the boat. Suki's flying around as a dinosaur. Let's get you out of there. Atticus, where the hell are you?

He's about 30 feet off the port side of the ship. Rude. Okay. You're gonna see then something happen to let me see

yeah like all of a sudden the ship like bucks unevenly and Aldo you're starting to lose your footing give me a fortitude save oh come on excuse me not a Fortitude save. Oh, come on. Excuse me, not a Fortitude save.

I just need to do a Fortitude DC. Oh, Fortitude DC is... Fortitude DC is 24. I wrote like a 41. So the bucking of the boat is enough to trip you and you fall prone. Okay. And then we go to your turn at the top of a new round, Aldo. All right.

What is going to happen here? Aldo is going to, like, he falls over. He immediately stands up. One action. And he goes over to Ethel. Walk goes over to Ethel walks over to Ethel and he is going to administer a an elixir of life and do nine points of healing. Amazing.

Okay. Wake up! Wake up, you silly nudge! And that's my plan, is to wake up as soon as possible. Because we have the hat, so... Yeah. Yeah. All right, so... So that brings you to consciousness,

and you lose the dying condition and go to wounded one. That sounds great to me. Yeah. You were dying one. You weren't dying two, right? I was dying one. Yeah, because you're back. All right, so now you're wounded one, but you've lost the dying condition. Are you guys gonna pull this off? The great, the great hat caper?

All right. Let's see. Is it my, yes, it's the wraith's turn. Bonnie wraith's turn. Bonnie wraith. Standing right next to Eris. I've got one action. I don't think she can do anything cool with one action.

Oh, no, she can. She is going to reach out her dark spectral hand at you. And it like, it goes right through you as she touches at your chest. He's trying to touch me. Everybody's trying to get a piece of Eris. That's going to be a 34. Eris is aghast.

Oh, yeah. Oh, right. I'm aghast and that means things. You dummy. So I wish I had a one-size-to-me. and that means things. You dummy. So I lose any item bonuses to my... I can't do anything, can I? Well, so I'm in Morphous State

and I lose any item bonuses. Your Skype is making you look like you're in an amorphous state. Yeah? It might be your grade screen. I'm seeing some crazy stuff. So, yeah, it's because we're in large gallery. If you go back and forth, it goes away.

It did it to me last episode. Ah, there we go. It's nothing. I think I still hit you. In fact, I think your AC goes down, so that may be a crit. It does. I lose any item bonuses. I have resistance eight to physical damage.

I'm immune to persistent damage. So does that just negate your spell or no? No, in fact, it might be critical. Let me see. Defense. I've got a plus 1. So what did you hit me with? Well, here's the thing.

I don't think it's physical damage because it's negative damage. So you get resistance 8 to physical. I wonder if it can even... It either can harm you, and I just crit you, or... Well, you don't know that it crit. Wait, what was the roll? Yeah, what was it? There's a 34, and you lose your AC bonus. Oh, yeah.

No, you just lose your armor. Your armor bonus. Like, your item bonus. So if you don't wear armor, then, like, you probably still get that. I've she wasn't wearing any. So if you don't wear armor, then you probably still get that. I've got braces of armor on. Is that plus two, right? Braces of armor give you plus one? It says item bonus plus one.

Okay, so what is your current AC? Well, without the one, it's 23. Oh, okay. So even with the one, that's a crit. So it's a crit. It gains resistance eight to physical damage. It's immune to precision damage. The question is, does negative damage count as precision?

No. No, negative damage is... I mean, not precision, it's physical. Okay, so it goes through. Physical is just... Whacking. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's whacking.

It's slashing, bludgeoning, and piercing. That's physical damage. I guess the real question is, can you touch a gap? Can you touch a vapor? Well, you can with this magical energy. It's like negative magical energy. That's why she gets resistance against physical damage. So her hand goes into this gaseous form.

The whole thing starts crackling with negative energy. And you take double damage, which is going to end up being 30 points of negative damage. Alright, alright, alright. And you have to roll a fortitude save. No problem. Okay, I got it. And your gas just stayed. Just like crackling. Natural

six, so that's a 21. You are now drained one. Totally got this. Totally got this. Totally got this. I'm good. Oh my gracious goodness. Oh God.

Just when I thought you guys were out, Bonnie Raith stepped up to the stage. Stepped to the stage. Ladies and gentlemen, Bonnie Raith. I haven't been on that Twitter in a while. I've got to go there. The SNL guest. SNL introducing celebrities, introducing musical guests.

My favorite Twitter. It's a good Twitter. Does it still exist? Oh my God, absolutely. Like Christian Slater, ladies and gentlemen, run DMC. It's just like a moment in time. They're all fantastic. All right, Suki, you are up.

Okay. Eris, how bad are you? I have 11 hit points. I'm planning on flying away and doing the three action thing, if I can do that. Okay. Then everything takes too many actions. I was going to try to do a bigger heal on everybody, but it's not going to work. So Suki's...

Here goes Sel! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Suki goes... Ethel is in a pile. This is a giant pool of blood. What's funny is Ethel fell unconscious before Suki turned into a dinosaur, so Ethel opens his eyes and there's a giant dinosaur,

and Suki's nowhere to be found. Ethel has learned from hanging out with this group just to just roll with it. Roll with it. Well, Suki hears you say that, and with her dinosaur eyes, she looks at you in a single tear, Forbes, and she just goes It's a weird dream man

It really is a weird dream And then you were a dinosaur and you took his hat You were you but you were like a dinosaur version of him. And you were yelling

at me. You were like, take the hat! And I was like, how? You're a flying dinosaur. And then I was like, oh, I'm flying! And then I was flying. And then Aldo went below the ship for just a second and came right back up. And we don't know why he did that.

You were a cloud. You were did that. You were a cloud? You were a cloud? You were a cloud floating around? I don't know how it happened, but all of a sudden you were a cloud? It really is a dream. It really is. Suki is going to fly up 40 feet,

which is my fly speed as a pterosaur. And she is then going to cast heal. Oh, I can't cast when I'm in dinosaur. Oh, man. Rule number one. My problem also. I was about to say, it's verbal. So she says, damn it, she's a dinosaur.

She can't say anything. So you know what? She's going to fly out 40 feet. Actually, she's over by Atticus off the boat. Makes more sense. And I... Damn, that sucks. Yeah, I'm going to... Yeah, that's it. You could just try the awake action instead of flying. Oh, but no, if you fail, you'll fall because you need to at least move or hover.

Ooh, baby, you and Atticus are going to be in a bit of a pickle there. Okay, but I mean, that's the only thing I can do. So I think she calls Pepsi back to her one action. She doesn't actually have to call it back as an action, but I'm saying she takes Pepsi with her. Can Pepsi fly? Scoops. Oh.

Scoops, Pepsi. Pepsi just hops on your back. All right. I can't move my dinosaur, but if you'll move me over by Atticus, that'll be my turn. Okay. Let me get all four of these pawns over there. 30 feet off the port side of the ship.

All right, so there's just a snake on a flying stegosaurus. You go off in the distance there. The stegosaurus is surprisingly nimble in the air. A graceful beast. A graceful beast. A graceful beast. The stegosaurus is renowned for their graceful flight. Oh, look. Oh, hark.

The stegosaurus has alighted on my finger. There will be three more weeks of fall. Joe, you're up. Atticus. Atticus. Atticus is going to use his last focus point of the day and cast Invisibility Cloak and vanish with the hat and all from all seeing eyes. And then just as he starts to lose some altitude from casting, he begins his flight another 30 feet toward the aft of the ship, keeping a wide berth. It's going to take him multiple rounds,

but I'll just let you know, Troy, that my plan is to fly the long way around back to our ship, get onto the deck, and then wake up. But he's invisible the whole time. Okay. It looks like you may have accomplished the mission, but how much damage is going to be done? He will say, right before he goes out,

he'll say to Dinosaur Suki, I have it. We have it. Wake up. Wake yourself up. And then he vanishes before your eyes. As if you think he might have woken up. Great response.

You're a wounded one, so you don't have to make any more saves. However, you are going to continue to take this persistent damage. Oh, yeah. You're just going to beat the hang again. I'm going to wake up. Okay. We'll save. Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up.

Solid DC. That is a 25. That is a success. Yes! Yes! Oh my gosh. It's not easy, right? I think it's 25.

Oh, it's 23. Yeah. So Ethel just, wake up, wake up, wake up. Gone. Wow. It's not often in a dream that you die going conscious and then wake back up. It's still in the dream. And then wake yourself up.

No, no. And then die again. And then die again. And then wake up again. It just seems like torture. Wow. Very, very good. I'm actually shocked. I thought you

were done. Me too. Alright, Pepsi, you're done. It's the captain's turn and now there's just less and less people to go after. Aldo and Eris are chilling there. Chilling as it were. Shut up!

Alright. I wonder if this is interesting. Shut up! All right. I wonder if this is interesting. How about both Eris and Aldo give me a will save? Come on, man. Listen. Here, sir. That's a 23. 21 for Eldar.

All right. Get him out of the way before the wake-ups. You see the captain start waving his hands back and forth. And as he does, these colors emanate from his fingers and sort of spray out into this geometric pattern that is like catching both of your eyes. And

it kind of starts wafting over in your general direction and surrounding you. So you're like in this prismatic, dazzling display. So basically you are fascinated by the pattern.

A creature when you can't use the seek or what does it say here? A creature must attempt a will saving throw if it's inside the pattern when you cast it. When you enter the pattern a creature currently fascinated by the pattern doesn't attempt new saves.

So you're fascinated. Is there an explanation of the fascinated condition? We're compelled to focus our attention on something distracting you from whatever else is going on around you. You take negative two status penalty to perception and skill checks. You can't use actions with the concentrate trait unless they or their intended consequences are related to the subject of your fascination as determined by GM. I see. You might be able to seek and recall knowledge about the subject, but you likely couldn't cast a spell targeting a different creature. The condition ends if a creature uses hostile actions against you or your allies. So it's very similar to Pathfinder First Edition Fascinate.

It is not a very viable combat spell, but it's very good for social. But I don't know. In this case, it feels like it's almost saving you. But you concentrate on waking up. I is it? You concentrate on waking up. I guess you can't concentrate on waking up. Is that a concentration thing? I will have to look. You'll have to rule on that.

Well, Ron may have written it. If it has the concentrate trait, it might have the concentrate, in which case that's cool. But then he is just going to close on the both of you with his final action and get right next to you he's still frightened one and he's taken some damage but again he's healing every round and now

it is time for Eris to do something. Oh, so what's the deal with this concentrate with waking up? What is the deal with concentrating? What's the deal with concentrating? What's the deal with waking up? I'm glad you asked.

Give me a second while that Google thing... So you're planning on waking up, that's what you're thinking about. I would love to try. So you want to wake up, huh? Someone should hand you a pamphlet. So you're thinking about waking up. I'm just stalling. I'm trying to think of like... So you guys,

what was it like? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? I did. I can't. Google Docs is incredibly slow. I did. I can't. Google Docs is incredibly slow. I believe... I can vamp record scratch. Eris says, you're probably wondering how I

got into this dream. I mean, you can also just make the call, Troy. No, I know. I was really just curious if it said anything. But what if he calls and he says it is concentrating and it's not? It does have the

concentrate trait. Nice, Ron! That's so smart. Does it really? Well, why wouldn't it? You have to concentrate to wake up from this horror. Well done, Ron Lefty. So, I can't wake up.

Can I fly away? So there's this pattern around you. You could try to leave the pattern, because the fascinated condition doesn't prevent you from doing it. It sort of bursts around you in a ten-foot area. So if you move out of the pattern, you'll no longer be fascinated. However, you'll have used an action, which means that you can't use the awaken action this turn. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that

seems like what I gotta do. And you'll provoke from the wraith. Actually, the wraith's stunned. I can't. I don't think I can take reactions. Also, I'm not sure I do because I'm gas. I think that's one of my things. Okay, gas. Anyway, yeah, I'm gas. I think that's one of my things. Okay, gas. Anyway, yeah, I'm going to move just all three actions, so 30 feet.

At 10. Just, like, out of the boat as far as I can away from you. Okay, all right, so you're no longer fastened in, you're out of there, and then you have two more actions. So I can only move 10 feet as a gaseous form, so I figured moving 30 was my three actions. I got you. Or I'll move 20 feet, and then I'll become not a gaseous form anymore.

All right, so you dismiss the spell as your third action. Okay, very cool. Perfect. That was Eris. Now it's the boat's turn once more. And we'll get to that right after this quick break. Who should I go after here? I think it would be fun.

Where are you, Eris? I'm not on the boat anymore. I'm on the other boat. Oh, you flew to the other boat. As far as I thought would make sense. Okay. Okay. Well, the manacle comes up once again to try and grab Skid, and I think I fail. What was your fortitude, DC?

24. No, I did make it. So, the manacle comes up and grabs around your leg. If you're just trying to awaken, I don't think uh, well, you might have to roll a plus. I'm still fascinated. Yeah, you're still fascinated, so it may, like,

restrain you from trying to get out of the fascination, but a manacle comes up again, and you all see this, if you're keeping your attention on the boat, it wraps around for Aldo. Well, I would say that breaks the fascination. He got attacked. That's fair. All right.

Aeris yells, just turn into gas. That's great advice. You hear a gas whispering on the wind. Just become a gas. Well, Aldo, it is your turn. You do have a manacle around you, but I don't think that the grabbed condition

should prevent you from concentrating. Yeah, so yeah, the manacle wrapping around him knocks him out of his trance. And yeah, he he's gonna try to wake up there's no place like home there's no place like home it's a will save will save fuck off fuck off you piece of crap no that is a failure so you you made it? All right, so Aldo is just like shaking himself, pinching himself, cannot wake up,

and he's been left alone on this boat. Aldo, free of madness on the outside world. Oh, he's the only one? He's the only one, I think. He's free of madness. Eris has something. You, Atticus, have two. Ethel has one.

I have a major. You have a major, have two. Ethel has one. I have a major. You have a major, yeah. And Suki just doesn't feel right. But yeah, Aldo is still unscathed. What? I thought you guys were going to kill them. All right, well, it is the wraith's turn. But again, the wraith is clumsy.

However, it is not too clumsy that it can't surround Aldo. And then it moves to Suki's turn. Suki, you see, just imagine the scene. Like, Aldo is on that boat, and you know it's a dream. You know you've basically accomplished your mission at this point. But Aldo has got, like, a manacle around his leg, dragging him back into the ship, surrounded by the captain and this wraith.

If you guys leave and he can't wake up, they could just maul him to death. I don't know what to do. Um, shit. It's so hard too because I can't cast in this. I have to get out of this animal form regardless, so what I have to do is fly the 40 feet exactly to our boat, my fly speed. I can't move my dinosaur.

But fly right to our boat. I'm gonna come out of wild shape. Shoot. And then I have one action left, which is useless.

Which is useless. I don't even think... What is this? Touch? No, 30 feet. Are you 30 feet from me, Aldo? As the crow flies? You are. As my one action left for this stupid turn,

I give Aldo guidance, and back in Suki's form, she goes, Aldo! We can't leave you! And she casts guidance on you, and you feel a little tight. Awesome. Is guidance one action?

Yep. Just a cantrip. Okay, alright, so maybe that plus one will be the difference maker. Is guidance one action? Yep. Just a cantrip. A little cantrip. Okay. All right. So maybe that plus one will be the difference maker. Atticus, what are you thinking, buddy? Atticus is going to three action fly around, and he's almost at the boat.

So at our boat. He was just taking a wide berth so as to not cross over. He doesn't know if the ship, which seems sentient as any abilities to sense his presence and like attack him. So he wasn't going to fly right over it. He's flying the long way around. And yeah,

now he's about 15 feet from their boat. I just, I just realized something, which is that this boat has the ability to come into the waking world and has been hunting us down and leaving the captain alive and taking his hat.

Yeah. What's he going to do with that hat? We don't have another option. That seems like a problem for Awake Us. Yeah, we can't really deal any damage. That sounds like a problem for Awake Us. can't really feel any that sounds like a problem for awake us i agree i agree with kate that's a good uh good point there matthew um all right so atticus three action superfly ethel we come back to you and you wake up on the boat and you see all your companions just lying there.

I throw water in all their faces. I take a glass of water next to each of their beds and I throw it in their faces. The water was warm and they all wet themselves. Whoops. It was as if you dunked

each of their hands individually into it. I bet that's how you woke them up. Uh, no. It was if you dunked each of their hands individually into it. I bet that's how you woke them up. Uh, no. That's his turn. Yeah. It's gonna be really... I'm supposed to wake a sleepwalker.

It's dangerous. Pepsi, I'm assuming, is no longer taking actions. It's the captain's dangerous. Pepsi, I'm assuming, is no longer taking actions. Yeah. It's the captain's turn. The captain. Poor Aldo. Aww. You hate to see it. The captain is going to

again, you see that mouth just stand with these long, razor-sharp teeth. He just goes to take a bite right into Aldo's chest. Oh my god. That might be a critical. Well, 37. Yep. That's a crit.

Alright, not a natural 20. So it's just a straight-up double damage. Jeepers, bro. That could have been a lot worse. 22 points of piercing damage. Almost minimum.

You're fine. Oh no, this is bad. Now I need a Fortitude save. Man, I don't think I've ever passed a save in this game. Second edition. In four years. Okay, maybe a first ever passed a save in this game. Second edition. In four years of playing. Okay, maybe a first ever. Fortitude save? Yes.

32. That is a pass. Wow, nice work. There he goes. There he goes. That is a very good pass. Alright, so for his first action, it bites you, crits, only takes 22 damage. Your armor protects you from the teeth fully sinking in,

and you're able to stave off whatever awful thing was about to happen to you. And then it comes swooping in with a kukri and fails with a 17 on the kukri. And then it is just going to I say it he is oh did he just slip is it an it I just write it down

Matthew I just said it monsters alright he is going to you know I really don't have anything I just said it. The specter of monsters! All right, he is going to... You know, I really don't have anything else I want to do here. There's only one enemy, even to move again.

He's got such a high to hit. I'm going to try one more swipe with that kukri. 19. I'm assuming he's going to be a miss. But you're flat-footed. Still a miss? Yes, and so am I. All right, so he takes that big bite and then stabs out with this sweet-looking kukri that none of you will get.

And he misses. So it then goes to Eris. Did you say sweet kukri? Yeah, pretty sweet kukri. We can't bring it back with us, though. We can't take it with you. Unless. Unless we can, because the ship can come through.

It's hard to tell with this one. Hard to tell. Maybe it'll come chase us when we're alive. It'd be good for Ethel, I guess. That's pretty much it. I'm going to try to wake up. We'll save. Will.

William, save. That's a 12, so that's a 26. Nice! Wake up! Bye! And then there were three. The blood wind maintains its manacle on Aldo

and attempts to pull him below deck and does so, pulling in the direction. So he's pulling you back. What a horrible nightmare. Towards that hole that said you would went down you're just sliding across these boards and now it's Aldo's turn okay I'm gonna try once again to wake up wake up you

silly bastard. Clicking his heels together. I have the guidance. Use it, obviously, on this roll. Come on. Come on, Aldo. Okay. Okay, 27. Yeah!

Aldo wakes up. Dude. Oh, wow. I can't believe it. Like, just as you're being pulled under, probably. While the manacle is pulling him away. Yeah, it's like, oh, wake up. Wake up, wake upo wakes up. Dude! Oh, wow. I can't believe it. Like, just as you're being pulled under, probably. While the medical is pulling him away. Yeah, it's like, oh, wake up! Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up! That is amazing. All right, so only two left. Will you be able to get out of here before they come and get you? It's the wraith's turn. The wraith is actually going... Oh, the wraith's clumsy. The wraith just sort of clumsily floats.

No, the wraith is now full jaunt. Oh yeah, wraith is not clumsy. Oh, that's right! Oh, shit. I actually, that's what I meant to do was drop the bottled sunlight so it would stay where I was. But I didn't say that I did it.

The wraith also isn't demoralized anymore because it was demoralized against me. So that's a full fledged wraith. Okay. Let's go then. It is going to, let me just see how much. Oh no. Suki, you just chilling there, Suki?

Oh no. Oh, it can fly 40 feet. Oh no, Suki. Oh, it can fly 40 feet. Oh, no. Suits. Oh, yeah. No. Pepsi, you're right there, peps. Pepsi's there.

Pepsi's there. Pepsi's there protecting me. All right, so it will just fly right next to you. That's the first action. And then it is going to touch you with its spectral hand. Oh, 34 to hit. Yeah. Not a crit?

No. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. That's going to be 13 points of negative energy damage. Now give me a fortitude save.

I think I'm fine. 28. You are fine. You damn fine. That had to be close, though. Didn't 27 fail? Oh, that was against the captain. And then with its final action, now that it's back to full John, it reaches out with another spectral hand and misses with an 18.

Now I laugh. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Will you still be laughing when it's your turn? Because it is. Okay. Suki was going to try to, like like help Aldo and do more stuff, which is why she stayed close, but that was a mistake.

Yep, Aldo is always the first to wake up. He's just like, see ya! And he just wakes up. Now Suki's like, wake up, wake up, wake up! Like this is true nightmare fuel, this fucking wraith attacking her. Oh, that's not gonna do it.

Uh, uh, wait. We'll save. That's... No, wait, 24. Come on, the edge of my seat. 24, do it. Wait, count again. Nine.

And be honest this time. Plus 15 is 24? Yeah. Yes. You made honest this time. Plus 15 is 24? Yeah. Yes. You made it. Thanks. Good. Oh.

Just. Yeah, I think she just wakes up going, and like, like getting hit by the claw as she's waking up. The second claw, she's just like, and wakes up. So terrifying.

Atticus, what do you do? Atticus. Oh no. The one with the hat, by the way. Played by Joe O'Brien. Matthew's right.

Matthew's right. This thing might come into the real world. So he's gonna take Matthew's right. This thing might come into the real world. So he's going to take them both down. He comes out of invisibility. I'm just kidding. He's like, what? He's like, what? Okay.

He's going to fly. He's gonna fly He's going to fly Stealthily Around to the other side Of the cabin of the boat The other side from the Wraith He sees the wraith

The wraith does not see him How do you know? I don't. He flies around the other side and settles down so he's just over top of the deck. And I was looking up rolling stealth and stuff like that. I mean, I guess I'll do it, but I don't really see the point. The hide action you can use in combat is really to become hidden,

but he's already undetected, unless she has some other ability, the wraith does not know where he is. So he's just going to settle in and remain completely still. Okay. And then try to wake him. All right, so you settle in.

I just didn't want to do it over the water, because if I can't fly, I fall into the water. And if I fail, I don't know what happens then. Right. I didn't want to die with the hat, drowning underwater. Okay. My Royal Tron is being a little fishy right now,

but it will come back around to the captain's turn. And the captain casts a spell on him and begins to lift up into the air and starts making his way over to your boat. The, uh, the wraith, imagine, this is like Lord of the Rings shit, just like... To me, it was like in Jurassic Park

when the velociraptors are breathing on the glass. Yeah. I imagine you're standing there, maybe your back, legs are the thing, just invisible. And you look this way. Trying to calm his breathing. And there's just this...

I'm like, let me get the wire, see second season, to give you an idea of what it looks like. You just see around the corner, and it's just like... It's just like sleeking around the corner. Where's Wallace? Where's Wallace? Where's Wallace String?

Where's Wallace String? It's just coming like right up to you. And does not sense your presence. Oh, come on. Try to wake up, Joseph O'Brien. This is like the next nightmare. Like they're coming for you. They haven't seen you yet, but you know they're looking. They're looking.

Next round, it could walk into your space, feel you're there, and start taking attacks with penalties. I don't know why I had to say that. Here we go. Rolling to wake up. Natty 18. Yes! Natty!

Snape! Tate! Oh, baby, I did it! Oh, man. You wake back up, and you're all sitting there, and you look up at Ethel, who's

holding a cup of water. You're all soaked and full of urine. And we'll see you next week! Yes! We did it! We're so good at waking up now. I wish I had a prop tricorn hat to put on. And we'll see you next week. Yes! Yeah, we did it! We did it! We're so good at waking up now.

I wish I had a prop tricorn hat to put on. Everyone bring your tricorn hats for the next session. Right, yeah. Tricorn hats. Pod gifts! Good night, everybody.
