Knuckles

And I am going to, so hold on, let me just make sure, so that was my bonus action to drink my flask.

5, 6, 7, 8...

So that's 11 temp HP. Pretty good.

I have advantage on saving things against fear, but I don't need that. And then, I am going to... Punch twice. Actually, no, only punch once, because we're not... Oh, yeah. That's a 20-something.

That was the codecracker. Yeah, that was the codecracker. Oh, I thought the one that attacked Gino was the one that... No, he was in the back, being very nervous. I'm just deciding that this one is.

This is the only guy that's alive, right?

It's the leader.

And the other ones are all dead.

I'll get to doing it. Yeah, I'm just gonna try to snap his neck. Go for it.

I missed my first attack. I want a bonus action with the second attack. All right. There we go, that hits.

So Knuckles is going to try to kill him.

Yes, yeah, I would try to like chuck them in.

And we'll slam the door.

Oh, shit. So we're not out. No. We're not out. So how does it work?

No, I'm just kidding.

So I'm going to get to the table and make sure that the drunk that's being taken away isn't Gino.

Were we given any information that we would need to wear anything different for this feist?

No. I will take off my sweater and reveal a dealer's vest from my hat. I'm going to pull out a little dealer's visor and then store just my, and so basically I was wearing it the whole time underneath my clothes.

Is the lift to the high stakes room or is the lift past the high stakes room?

I'm just doing dog stuff.

That's pretty much it.

Coves Jr. Coves Jr. It was Coves.

I'm gonna come behind him and just, like, squeeze him like this and just lift him off the ground and, like, restrain him until we're at the top. Oh, thank you.

I'm going to squeeze just hard enough to make him black out a little bit. Just cut off the oxygen just enough.

Okay, I'm just going to... A 12! A 3. It's a no.

Holy shit.

Did we just aggro a beholder?

You all have 12.

All four of us have 12? Yeah.

Okay, so you're going first. Yeah, I don't care. I'll go last. Yeah. I'll go middle. You want to go first?

Oh, first. Yeah, yeah.

It will be good for everybody.

There's you. There's Chimney. The werewolf that climbs. She is so cute.

I need to find something for old. His toe is big and gray, right? Yeah.

So where would we be in relation to?

Probably.

I'm just really curious how much the iron flask costs.

I don't know how else to say it.

And we go up, or I guess we walk and try to wave the- The mechanism has been destroyed.

See if they have an investigation check. See how they died.

What's 100 times 10 minutes?

And they don't have anything in their pockets or anything?

Can I look for any evidence that anyone's been here? I mean, clearly those guys were murdered, so, like, did they leave anything behind?

I've got some d8 for you here if you want. I'll just roll a place.

Those d10s?

I'm just being... That's all right. That's all right.

Okay, that's even more than I thought. Here's two more. I don't know if it shakes out to the... Four, five, six. Here's two more. Seven, eight. He's got it.

There we go.

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43. Points of damage. That's not so bad. That's not so bad at all. That's not so bad. Let me just take a look here.

Uh, yeah, I drop unconscious.

And I'm gonna, you'll see like all of these sort of transparent calculations.

If there is a pattern or some sort of pattern that I can notice in these levers and some sort of puzzle that I can figure out, I will attempt to do so.

And as it goes by and it's the whitest, I'm gonna pull.

Oh, Soupdoku.

So the door can be opened now, you think? Yes. Okay. I'm gonna walk up to the door and open it.

I was thinking all those fucking characters from Kingdom Hearts that they invented in Kingdom Hearts 2. I would say there's also a silver-esque quality to the hair.

I think it is so... Oh, actually, yeah, I don't know.

So if they were hostile before, they would no longer be hostile.

You're with the cult, right?

I will be just eyeing them. And basically, if I can, readying an action where the second they look aggressive, I'm going to just... I'm going to punch him in the face.

Well, you're a bard, so it should be fine.

I'll look up to the door with my newfound intelligence and see if I can make sense of what the fuck they were talking about with words.

My eye will go blue. The code cracker.

As he rolls up the map, you can see that all the details were written on the back of the map.

Holy shit. The second he jumps on Geno, I'm... I got a natural one. I'm going in.

I got a natural one.

So let's say that if we're walking in this way, if we're walking in this way to the vault, they were behind us. Gino was in front here. Let's say he's here. And then one of them jumped on Gino. And then the other, I guess, are right behind us here.

13.

Thank you. Legendary items are fair game. Apparently.

Don't do it!

Don't put that bag in that hole.

Do you want to die? Do you want to float through the astral sea for the rest of your very short life?

Well, you're going to die and do it at the same time. Give me that. Give me that.

Well, then just don't put it in the hole. Put it just where it is, like a backpack or something.

How big is it?

Dress up as Hostelin. Oh, that's right.

I got, I'm like. Maybe the clown join us and know what a clown looks like.

No, no, we stop these drow for stealing the treasure.

And we just, we were barely about to kill him.

Leave it out. I'm not picking up the treasure. This hole just disappeared all of a sudden. And so I was going to check to see what the fuck happened. Oh, it's my drow magic.

Look, this was supposed to be a clean gig, but boss O'Houlihan, you know boss O'Houlihan.

He hired us as private security because he's made the biggest bet on his life on this game. And so we were casing a joint. You can see our stupid fucking costumes. You're going to pay me a lot to dress like this, let me tell you.

Bartholoolahan, you know him. Oh no, not Bartholoolahan. You know his contacts in the underdog. You ever heard him speak undercommon? Oh, he's fluent.

And I'm gonna say, pretend to be Boss O'Houlihan and tell him if he doesn't cooperate, you're gonna kill him.

uh why are you trying to suck him back in just let him kill the giant what if we need the giant to get out of here he already pressed the button and they're gonna open it from the other side and we kill that guy and we'll just keep we'll use this ball and kill our way out of here that's a great idea because when they show up they'll see that the bold is trying to kill the giant and then they'll be like well clearly that was the problem

I think we need him for something else. But you don't want to open the bottle on him, so he's going to be like, oh yeah, they tried to kill me with his gold.

Where are we? I mean, is this inside the vault? Can they still get here, open the door, and then arrest us?

We're on top of a castle. Imagine how much great shit's in here. Let's loot the whole place.

All right, here's the plan. Yeah. I'm going to wait right by where the vault door was.

Absalom, I'm gonna fuck his name. Absalom is gonna come.

I'm gonna jump out and kill him.

I'm gonna kill Absalom. You all go downstairs. We're gonna go downstairs. We're gonna stope out the whole castle.

I mean, do I get a vote?

No, I mean, this is a vote.

Yeah, this is how it goes.

Oh, yeah, no, it's a tie break. It's a tie. I'll vote for Gino.

You don't double-cross the boss. Let me just tell you. Bad things happen. You end up in the harbor if you double-cross the boss.

All right, go downstairs, check out the castle. I'll wait here and kill Absalom, and I'll keep the door open. And we'll get all the loot out, everything in this hoard, everything in the castle, everything.

Do you have a plan or should I use my backup plan?

You mean someone else is trying to steal from the vault before we do?

Okay.

It's not just one guy. It's one guy and like eight million suits of fucking armor. Oh, we'll get back right away. I don't know if you, I got ported back to reality. Can you port back here?

Wait! Wait! Do you see these drow?

They tried to rob this place. I was hired as secret security by Boss O'Houlihan, and I followed him in, and I killed him.

Let me out. I swear to God, it's gonna be real bad for you if you keep me in here for one second longer.

The treasure is not there. They put it in a magical item that only I know the command word for.

21.

Thank you.

Something I've never heard before, but... The last Drowder I killed, it's dying words. Who gave me the command word?

I'm private security for Boss O'Houlihan.

Where do these bodies come from?

I'm dressed as a fucking dealer.

Because I needed to blend in. Barso Ulaher made the biggest bet of his life on that fucking game, and he bet on a stupid Mighty Trunks, and I don't even know who fucking won the game, but he wanted to make sure that I was here so that his bet, nothing happened to it. And I stumbled on his drow trying to steal his gold.

I don't know, it was all just, it was chaos, it was pandemonium, I killed the drow, and then all of a sudden, everything turned to black.

I'm just going to say, if you don't let me out right now, I'll never tell you. I'll never tell you the word to open up where that treasure's hidden, and it'll just be lost forever. It almost died with that man.

It's a Donjon.

Oh fuck, we don't have much time. You're sweating something off. Do you need a handkerchief?

Or la vaporize them.

Why don't you just leave a deck of cards like this right next to it?

Oh, maybe just... I think it's mind sliver time again.

Thanks for meeting me. You have what I'm looking for?

Maybe it'll come to you.

Oh, man, can it bring me great power?

Or it can trap you in a mind prison.

How many should I draw? Like three or four or five?

What?

You see what I said, Knuckles?

I still have one regular draw card.

I am looking for something magical, something I need. It's the portable hole that I arranged one of you. I forget who it was. One of you has fucking a few portable holes.

Aye!

But I also don't want to be level four.

I'm going to hold on to this. and just use it before I die.

I think she meant bro-kay-ed, like with the fabric.

We're rich! I turn to the guy and go, Those nerds just want a whole lot of money, and I want to try out this belt. Let's mug some people.

Right. Oh, that fling flow game you're talking about all the time?

Uh, anyway, I had to mug some elephants for these, but I think it'll work, and I'm gonna throw both of them down.
