“I fucking RULE at sucking” Absolutely CLUTCH one from Murph

I’m rewatching EXU in preparation for next week and seeing Matt’s continuous dogshit rolls, reminded me of an old conversation I had online right around EXU Kymal. So I gotta ask…

I'm coming in so late to Fantasy High but this bit from sophomore year where Murph [a notorious & inexplicably bad dice-roller] confidently volunteers to make a roll for the whole party and then immediately rolls a nat 1 has me on the FLOOR. Have you ever rolled a die so bad that your IRL wife started throwing things at you

Murph's characters ranked by how immune to Murph rolls they are

Theo: 10/10 won't land a hit but he doesn't need to, his job is to sit there and not take any damage while literal armies are trying to kill him and to jump in front of his friends. Also knock doesn't require a roll.

Riz (junior year): 9/10 reliable talent is a game changer, the nat 1 turns into a 10, becomes a 21, no mystery this guy can't crack. Can still fail in fights which is not great when you're the only one who isn't stunned.

Kugrash 5/10 does a lot of support work, like the cockroach aura and summoning a bunch of alligator friends which doesn't need Murph to roll. Sadly he does roll for the attacks the alligators make so that takes away from it a bit

Gerard: 4/10 what do you do when you can't roll well yourself? Make Zac roll instead. Commanding strike is amazing. Other than though Murph's rolls make Gerard a pretty pathetic frog - which is of course exactly what he is.

Barry 3/10 he's a barbarian so part of his job is to absorb damage which doesn't require dice and he does a fantastic job of it. Sadly both attacking and playing at casinos however does require dice

Riz (before junior year): 1/10 he'll get there but right now? He is at the mercy of the dice and Adaine's portent rolls can't save him every time

Cody -10/10 this guy is designed to be as affected by Murph rolls as possible, Murph really said let's make a character that is just so bad at what he does. Stabs himself with his own sword, he's perfect, no notes.

Incredible things from the london D20 live show in no particular order (straight from memory so may not be totally accurate or have much context at all):

First of all the line up was incredible. Kugrash, Pete, Sundry Sydney, Skip, Fabian and Adaine. What a terrible combination of personalities, it was so funny

Btw everyone looked so good. They looked really good, those fits <3. Murph striped button up/polo? shirt and Lou grandpa sweater you will always be famous

When Siobhan rolled Adaine everyone was so excited. Lou (who had already rolled for Fabian) hugged her, picked her up and spun her around on stage ❤️

Everyone was so excited to have a buddy ❤️

The setting was rolled as a crown of candy, after Brennan literally said “wow we happened to have a few people from the same place, wouldn’t it be hilarious if we got a crown of candy or neverafter or something?”

Everyone arrives and are doing introductions and the first thing Fabian says is “[tearfully] Adaine is that a giant rat?” Cue the whole atrium losing it.

Sydney then proceeds to minor illusion Kugrash as “sexy.” After some deliberation and when prompted by Brennan, Murph decided this means he looks exactly the same except for giant veneers

Beardsley: Can I distract the guard?

Brennan [flabbergasted, as the rest of the party was doing INSANE shit around this]: Sure, the DC is 500.

Beardsley: If I crit will you let it happen

Brennan [indulgently]: sure

Beardsley: [rolls a nat 20]

Brennan: [despair], cast: [running around in circles on stage and jumping], fans: [losing it]

And that’s how they accidentally start a revolt in Candia within minutes of arrival by Pete the Chosen Outsider with the peppermint tooth and prophesied king of candia. But it’s cool because in the next few minutes Kugrash teaches them about democracy.

So many little references to past campaigns and character one liners. Way too many for me to list but the cast was clearly enjoying dropping them

Sundry Sydney hitting King Calroy with 3 grenades ON SIGHT

A Hasted Kugrash doing an opposed athletics against Calroy and Brennan rolls a Nat 1. The dice wanted that motherfucker DEAD.

Kugrash to Calroy: “I eat from the trash, and I’ve never seen a cake as shitty as you!’ And then proceeds to 300-style kick him off the castle wall (as acted out by human man Murph)

Sooo much PVP though really most of that was between Pete and Fabian as they fought over the crown of candia

Sundry Sydney successfully seduced and awakens personhood in Adaine’s identify spell. His name is ANUS now. (Another use…)

Skip is quangled out and replaced by Lapin (played by Zac) and tries to keep the party on track. He fails many times. He takes up smoking from the stress. Adaine does as well.

At some point Pete’s wild magic turns his hands into rock candy, which he uses to deal 2d20 damage to Fabian during a fight

Emily as Sydney, whenever crazy shit happens: this is canon! [raises cannon arm]

All of them (except Pete) have some bad baby milk and do kublacaine. Cue a small detour for more pvp between Pete and Fabian

Arthur Aguefort is released from captivity in a castle full of/made from eggs. He and Lapin may or may not know each other biblically. They met on an app for old magical men, don’t worry about it.

Bill Seacaster is the pirate prince of the dairy lands and has the quangle. They get into his castle with Operation Fancy Perfume Part 2 except Emily rolled a nat 1 for her assist, so first poisonous perfume takes out most of the party and everyone inside the castle. I think Emily may have been crying she was laughing so hard.

They sort of defeat Bill by giving him pleasure putty (which he USES behind a curtain in front of EVERYONE) and then has to go take a nap, so they sneak into the rest of the castle to find the quangle. I am never going to forgive Brennan for making it canon that he goes “yar har har YO HO HO” when he gets off. I WILL NEVER UNHEAR THIS.

Pete Conlan somehow gains the power of flight from Bambi LeRoux (Sydney brought her) singing the Reading Rainbow theme song. He does a flying ribbon dance out the window, where she stops singing and he falls and takes max fall damage. He’s still up, so Fabian jumps out the window with Feather Fall and shoots him with a laser gun until he actually dies lmao. He gets injured too somehow but I forgot how. They both get healed and everyone continues on like nothing happened.

Emily took her dice that rolled a Nat 1, kissed it, and threw it into audience with a cheeky expression. I’m in love with her I fear

The time quangle is an entire pool of lemon yogurt. At the bottom of the pool is a completely naked Gilear Faeth

Kugrash eats all the yogurt despite knowing it will kill him in order to end the quangle. His farewell speech has as a backdrop Gilear’s giant hog (played by Brennan’s arm, as he got out of his chair to stand behind Murph the ENTIRE time he was talking). Kugrash then ascends to the big bodega in the sky.

Sydney also seduces Annabelle Cheddar (EDIT: fuck it was like 12 AM forgive me) Primsy Coldbottle, who is explicitly 29 in this version of time. Both her and Anus join Sydney in returning to AnarchEra. I cannot emphasize enough how horny this live show was

Everyone gets sent back to their respective universes, except Arthur. He’s going to hang out in Candia for a bit to be Lapin’s “roommate.”

Fabian’s last line is that he has to call his banker because he has a new nemesis

Lapin: “That was the worst group of people I have ever met.”

God that was so funny, I really hope these live shows are getting recorded and will be released somewhere later. I need everyone to experience the epic highs and lows of this d20 session.

I absolutely love when the dice tell a story for any D20 show. For FHJY its:

That Riz, is the most impressive investigator out there and his hard work does deserve to pay off. finding the rogue teacher, all these amazing perceptions / clues, cracking the case wide open and on a more meta level finally getting to see Murph have those sweet nat 20 moments.

For Kristen, its her taking ownership and working hard to bring cassandra back and putting in the hard work. Showcasing that her instincts are exceptional and she's the godamn best cleric out there bar none. And of course the dice always reminding us that Ally is magic.

Fig its literally tying the element of bad luck on a meta level until she realizes that Ankarna is the god she was seeking and reflecting the goddess who was literally builded over by her followers and seeing the good intent that was once there. And After so much anguish with the dice those 30+ music rolls and nat 20 insight into ankarna's temple. Just absolutely beautiful.

Gorgug, its literally making the impossible possible by becoming a full-fledged barbificer and then immediately becoming the most critical member during the last stand. And the dice going don't fucking doubt yourself, and rewarding Zac literally every round with astounding crits.

Adaine, its a settling into a calmness and who she is supposed to be. Literally being able to gift out nat 20s, the calm efficiency of scattering the party into better spots and not breaking a sweat. Siobhan literally being the slickest player every round with her arsenal of spells and portents. Just 10/10, no notes.

Fabian its showcasing how majestic and beautiful it is to connect fighting to dance and continuing to prove how much he has grown as a person. Him settling stuff with gertie, FHFY would never have done that. AND FOR LOU THE DICE ARE TELLING HIM TO STOP PERFORMING SURGERY/MEDICAL CHECKS ON CHARACTERS WITH TWO NAT 1S.

murph whomping of all time. to me.

Transcript:

[Ominous music plays softly in the background.] Hardwon (Jake): Bottoms up! Murph: You see Balnor, Bev's dad take it. Hardwon (Jake): Cheers. Beverly (Caldwell): Yep! I take one. Jake: I swig. Murph: Okay. All three of you guys drink it. Emily: Yeah. Murph, seriously: Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna roll to see who is the witch, between Balnor, Bev, and you three. If one of you guys is the witch, um, you have to play it to the best of your abilities. Try your best to be the witch, or else bad things will happen in the future of the campaign as determined by the gods. I am going to roll to see who the witch is. [Caldwell "Mhm"s. A dice rolls.] Murph, seriously: And now, I am going to, um, hand you guys dice. If you are the witch, um, you are trying to fool the other people into thinking you are indeed the person whose body you are in. So Hardwon, if you are the witch, you're pretending to be Hardwon but you don't have your memories. [Jake: Okay] So you're just like, lying along with the group, or you'll make something up, or you're just like-- you see that you're a big buff dude so you'll say something that seems in character. I'm gonna hand you guys each a d20, if you get a red one then you are the witch. [Sounds of Murph passing dice around in the background.] Emily and Caldwell: Okay. Emily: Everyone, we should just close our eyes. Everyone close our eyes. Caldwell: Yeah, yeah. Jake: Games like this make so fucking nervous. Murph: Okay. Everybody look at your d20. See if you got the red one. If you got the red one, then you are the witch. If you did not, then… you are yourself. So you guys all drink this concoction. You all look at each other. Everyone looks like normal, everyone looks a little bit nervous and suspicious. You put the top back on the cauldron, and you put the knife in the middle. So now what's going to happen is we're all gonna roll initiative, and then you decide on your turn if you want to ask a specific person a question or if you want to ask the whole group a question, and then we go around in a line answering. [Various dice roll.] Emily: I got a nat 20. What a waste of a nat 20. Jake: Hell yeah! 16. Caldwell: (laughs) I got a 16 too-- ooh! Jake: Roll off? Caldwell: Yeah. [More dice roll.] Murph: Okay. Well, let's say-- since Moonshine-- so we'll just go around in a circle now. So, we'll do-- So, where we sit in real life, we'll say we're standing at the table. Emily: Okay. Murph: So we've got: Moonshine, is next to Bev, who's next to Balnor, who's next to Bev Sr, who's next to Hardwon in a circle around this cauldron. Moonshine, you ask the first question. Moonshine (Emily): Balnor, what's your favorite food? [Five full seconds of silence. The music fades out.] Balnor (Murph): …chicken. [Everyone bursts out laughing] Jake: I st-- I st-- I stab Balnor. Murph: (laughing) You stab Balnor. Instantly, there is this shriek, and this-- I thought for a second about fucking cheating! I can't believe you just picked Balnor! Balnor inst-- Emily: I was-- I was like Balnor or Beverly IV, that's who I'm going for, because the other ones are gonna talk more-- Caldwell: It's too hard! Emily: --and we're only gonna get one question with each of them.

I see Fantasy High as this is their seasons. If that makes sense. They all work together, become close friends and best friends etc. have the entire group arc but the major character arcs vary. Let me explain. They all grow but each season I feel like some grow more than others if that makes any sense..

FRESHMEN YEAR

Kristen's journey of discovering who she is and what she worships. Was literally her entire arc during S1. Her new friends helped her out. They were there when she got kicked out of the house.

It's also Fig's story as well. Like her growth from accepting Gilear as her father. Her growth with her mother. Her finding her father.

SOPHOMORE YEAR

Yes this has character development all over the place right.

But the major ones

Fabian, Riz and Adaine pretty much.

Fabian - he did kill his father before the Prom, and then had to become his father on Leviathan. His confidence got rocked hard during this season, he ran from his friends, he took off the eye patch and his owlbears hoodie. You could tell Fabian very much cared for his friends. His panic when Riz didn't answer the phone, his hug to Gorgug when they reunited during the nightmare forest. His panic to save Riz from falling from the fight.

Riz - this was his season. Not saying Junior Year isn't his season which is amped by Murph's insane rolls right now. But learning the truth of his dad. Kalina. Baron. He ran after Kristen. He was cursed by Kalina, and Kristen saved him.

Adaine - oracle. Her break away from her parents, her kidnapping, her wanting to get her sister back. The way that she found more family in Sandra Lynn and Jawbone. Her development of I'm not a weak wizard to I'm the Elven Oracle and I'm going to kill my dad.

Junior Year.

You might be wondering why I haven't mentioned our tall green boy.

Junior Year is Gorgug's year. It's also Fig's. But its majority is Gorgug.

The fact that from Sophomore year, this quiet one of the group. the heart of the bad kids, put a working Satellite into space to being a multiclass Barbarian and Artificer.

The work that Gorgug put in, has been insane for him. Zac definitely did do something with his dice since in the last two fights. .. it's been insane Crit city. But honestly looking at it from a story point of view.. Gorgug has struggled with his relationship to rage all through Fantasy High. But honestly his rage is the best support to his friends. He can protect and now support his friends. The flash of genius has massively helped his friends so much.

He puts himself on the line to save his friends. He holds his friends close. Hence why his relationship with Rage is so different and why Porter thinks Gorgug is "weak" or can't use the "nature of destructive rage". Gorgug's rage doesn't need to be destructive, it needs to be effective.

Like he tanked the purple worm in the last standard. He held his own and the ship against, what 5 dragons??? While his friends were helping the killing and keeping the party still going.

Let's Talk About: Fantasy High Junior Year and Rock the Boat

Who knew the opening minutes with Ally hijacking the intro would lead to Brennan quitting just before the episode ends? I guess we did. We were told. By Ally's before-the-season featurette, and by the episode description. We were told.

Almonds almost took out Brennan before Ally could. We got a little ghost with hairy feet--showing hole! And then we got the wrong graphic at the end? I think?

And now Zac's the dungeon master.

The biggest thing I learned from this episode? How dim the lights that are on Brennan have to be, just so he doesn't wash out. Like, look at Zacky in that photo. The lighting team is truly amazing at their work, just to be able to balance Brennan out with the rest of the cast.

But joke's aside--

WHAT AN EPISODE!

The Intrepid Heroes are one hundred percent some of the best players of tabletop-roleplaying in the business. And not just because they're making us laugh--it's because they're able to deliver some outstanding storytelling alongside the jokes!

Yes, a lot of kudos goes to Brennan too. For his amazing DM-ing. But the cast? A standing ovation for the lot of them. Even just Ally pointing out how Gorgug and Kristen being the first of the Bad Kids to die--and being in direct line of fire with the dragons? Accidental narrative drama! (Edited to add: It was Gorgug who remembered they died, and Kristen—looking at all the dragons surrounding then—who said it could happen again still.)

Fabian having invested so much on his popularity track pays off. Riz and Eugenia being an amazing team, Siobhan and Ally giving outstanding support, and Fig (and Emily!) finally getting over their cursed rolls--it was all so brilliant. Blimey!

Gorgug was the MVP of this fight though. Zac's rolls and Gorgug's stats truly kept the Bad Kids afloat. And Brennan asking Zac to roll for things Gorgug was concentrating on gave me the loudest laugh of the episode. Because the only thing he was concentrating on: was staying alive!

And, please, talented artists out there. Let's make a music video for Fight in the Sky by Fig and the Cig Figs. Using vulture footage taken with GoPros.

I don't have much else to say. Next week looks even more wild. And Murph is now the Expert of the Cocked Dice.

Oh, and "Shoot Grandma and gas it."

Murph chastising Emily for using bad dice, making a little husband-wife pool of good dice, and immediately rolling an 8 is the most murph thing I think he's ever done

As the lawn mower sex machine deals slashing damage to a mind-controlled Riz and Adaine ...

Siobhan/Adaine: why did your parents put something slashing on the dildo machine?

Emily: yeah

Zac/Gorgug: I really can't answer that question, and I'm really made at you for asking.

Ally: its the lawnmower part of it! It's the lawnmower part of it.

Brennan: I'm really mad at you for asking. Adaine, you take six points of damage.

Zac/Gorgug: Adaine, you're kicking a man while he's down.

Murph: if I take damage, do I roll anything to not be charmed? Do I get to re-roll or anything?

Brennan: ooh

Emily: ooh!

Brennan: that's a very good point.

Murph/Riz: just trying to get an upside to having my mind taken over and getting attacked by a "lawnmower?".

Brennan: you make a new wisdom saving thing

Ally: that's right, that's right!

Brennan: that was a bad call on the robot's part.

Emily: come on, Murph!

Murph: oh that's probably not good enough. 16

Adaine: do you have your bardic?

Brennan: you just need to not get a one

Murph: okay, please!

Lou: is it a one?

Ally: it's a one!

Lou: he got a one!

Murph: noo! Whaat!

*overlapping yelling*

Siobhan: come on!

Zac: wait, that was a one?

Lou: it was a one!

Murph: get out of here! *Throws dice away*

Brennan: there's dice all over the dome.

Murph: get out!!

Siobhan: I'll take six stress tokens so Murph can reroll that save.

Lou: that was so nasty

Emily: also, over here, I just rolled two nat ones in a row.

Ally: that was nasty

*overlapping yelling*

Murph: nobody pick that up, I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up. I'm sorry. It was a joke, it was just a joke.

Ally: nobody pick that up. If someone could bring me a little--

Lou: nobody pick that up

Murph: nobody pick that up

Goddamn, an incredibly story-important Nat 20 from Murph instead of Beardsley? Love that for him

*all cheering*

Siobhan: That's the best 1 you ever rolled!

Murph: I rule at sucking!

It's funny because he typically rolls *unlucky* not quote-unquote bad, but Murph has been on a hot streak this season, so in this case he DIDN'T roll unlucky. Emily must have picked a hell of a good moon to cure his dice under.

My fantasy high jr year thoughts for episode 15

There is no context just what I would have live blogged about

THE WRITTEN TEST??? Crazy I would have died on the spot and the fact that they actually tried is crazy but they did so good for the circumstances 100 hand written words in 5 minutes is insane

Also the shrimp dragon??? I love art department so much it’s so creative and also just such a cool looking model I was dying when’s it came out

Gorgug hitting a nat 20 always makes me happy bc we jsut see more of his artificer barbarian stuff work but the 2 crist back to back Zac always has the best rolls I swear

Zacs stupid little stamp I love him sm

FIGS SPIRIT GUARDIANS WITH THE STURGES WAS SO FUNNY I live Emily so fucking much

The second pass on the math exam is so based I fucking hate math he’s so me

When the worm came out I was stunned holy shit there were so many monsters on field

FIG AGAINST THE WYVERN WAS CRAZY ALMOST 90 points of damage in one turn

Shrimp jump/shrimp party and crab king being turned into literal monsters is so funny

ZAC WITH ANOTHER NAT 20 HIS DICE ARE SO GOOD

THE WORM IS HORRIBLE OH MY GOD

ANOTHER NAT 20 WHAT THE FUCK ZAC

“My kid got a 7… my kid got a 1”Lou and ally talking about their dice in the same tone as the Charlie Brown Halloween quote is so fucking funny

Gavin is the mvp I love him, fantasy high npcs are always so funny

Fig eliminating a full wyvern as well as a bunch of fantasy mosquitoes with little to no effort on her part is insane she’s so cracked

Fabian fighting for his life to just…. Not be held by a monster for a turn is so funny. This shouldn’t be his turn for most rounds as an extremely Dex character lmao

The hangman with 2 nat 20s on an attack on a giant crab is hilarious bc Lou’s rolls have been mid this whole time ahsjdjd

Fig kissing the fucking pentacorn mid battle is the most Emily thing she could choose to do her playstyle is my favorite thing in the entire world

FIGS SPIRIT GAURDIANS COME IN CLUTCH SO MUCH HOLY SHIT

KIPPERLILY THAT FUCKING CUNT HOLY SHIT HELLO??? KILLING BUDDY??? OISIN BEING APART OF IT TOO???? NOOO I WAS ROOTING FOR HIM AND ADINE

the ocher jellies are so cute and so fucking pointless ahsjdjd

Gorgug vs the worm no thoughts just very stressful ahsjdjd

RIZ WITH THE 31 DAMAGE VS THE UMBERHULK WITH 30 HP WAS INSANE LUCK MURPH ROLLS COMING IN CLUTCH WHEN IT MATTERS

butter gummies my beloved

“Come on riz”

The mimic being the strongest monster is so funny bc this was 100% supposed to be a quick kill round 1

Fig carried combat today holy shit even with Emily’s bad rolls she’s taken out half of the enemies that’s insane

GORGUG WIRH ANOTHER FUCKING CRIT WHAT THE FUCK ZACS DICE ARE INSANE TODAY next week he’s gonna be rolling nat ones all day long

“What did you call it….BUTTER. GUMMIES.” I adore ally so much

30 persuasion roll on the butter gummies…. It’s time for love NOW

“You are stupid” as if Gorgug didn’t leave the owl ears and dedicate the whole year to studying for his mcat pls

Gorgugs artificer stuff is so fun I’m so glad Zac took on that class

Some of the Interpreted Heros are the embodiment of both luck and unluck

Murph has luck so commonly bad that it has been shown through multiple DND shows that he cannot win with dice

Lou Wilson has famously bad luck being Fabian on Leviathan, Pinocho in Never after, rolling for Chungledown Bim's stats (rolled 10d6 6 times and didn't roll an 18) , or Fabian this season with anything acrobatics

Ally Beardsley is known for their insanely timed NAT 20s which are so important I can't mention them without major spoilers

Zac Oyama who I believe still hold the most amount of NAT 20s as well as the entirety of the last stand

Now of course they have all experienced both good and bad luck but for the most part they are fairly consistent

🚨SPOILERS FOR FANTASY HIGH JUNIOR YEAR EPISODE 8🚨

Dimension20 "Fantasy High Junior Year"

Episode 8 "Fracas at the Frostyfaire Folk Festival"

Timestamp: 00:12:54

Video Length: 3min. & 20sec.

Adaine casts "Comprehend Languages" on all of the notes that Lydia provided and gets some (bad luck) help from a Cursed Fig Bardic! 😭✋

Brennan: "You can spend a little while to cast it ritually. It will take you a chunk of time. It's the middle of the day. You've got Frostyfaire later tonight."

Siobhan: "Yeah, it's a minute per page. Can I grab Riz and go up and turn around my calendar that I have on my wall, and it's just a blank corkboard?"

Murph: "Great."

Brennan: "Hell yeah."

Ally: "I'll go up there too and just give you both as many Help actions as I can"

Siobhan: "Oh yeah."

Brennan: "Hell yeah, I think the whole gang can tromp on upstairs and jump to it. This feels like the biggest payoff of not being sure that Lydia was even gonna be able to get this stuff. Go ahead, and I'm gonna say there's so many materials here, Adaine with that Comprehend Languages, go ahead and roll either Arcana, History, or Investigation with advantage, and then because Adaine has to translate for everybody, you guys will use Help actions to offset the disadvantage because you guys can't read the text yourself. So if there's any other checks you wanna roll that are Religion, Investigation, whatever, go ahead and roll them straight."

Murph: "I'll roll Investigation."

Brennan: "Cool."

Siobhan: "So I'm rolling with advantage?"

Brennan: "You're rolling with advantage."

Siobhan: "Okay, great."

Zac: "I assume I'm not there? Is it the morning?"

Brennan: "It's morning, but you might have come by. If they texted you, you could have swung by."

Ally: "Yeah, I think we would've."

Brennan: "Yeah."

Ally: "Unless you need to help your parents set up, but I'd imagine they already did everything."

Brennan: "And actually, let me know what your rolls are real quick."

Siobhan: "I got a 17 History."

Emily: "Do you want a Bardic?"

Siobhan: "I would love a Bardic."

Murph: "21 Investigate."

Ally: "If I have advantage in History or Religion, it's still straight, 'cause we would have disadvantage?"

Brennan: "Yes, with a Bardic-"

Siobhan: "With a Bardic from Fig, I got a dirty 20."

Brennan: "Dirty 20 on your History."

Siobhan: "On my History, yeah."

Brennan: "Okay."

Murph: "And I got a 21 Investigate."

Brennan: "21 Investigate, awesome. Kristen, what are you looking at?"

Ally: "11."

Brennan: "11 for Religion. Okay, copy that. So you guys are taking time to pore over the books. Maybe someone shoots Gorgug a text. Adaine, as you begin to read with some of that help from Fig, you feel your stomach gurgle and-"

Siobhan: "Oh no." *gurgling sound*

Emily: *laughing* 😭✋

Brennan: "You feel your stomach gurgle-"

Fig: "Adaine, can I help you?"

Brennan: "Can you go ahead and roll a d100 for me?"

Adaine: "Is anybody feeling weird after that breakfast?"

Kristen: "Hm, no, I thought that was good."

Fig: "Yeah, I think I'm feeling fine."

Siobhan: "I got a 91."

Brennan: "91, okay. As you go to study, you are looking at the book, and as you lean in a little bit closer, there's something moving on the page, in the binding, in the shadow of where the pages sort of fold into each other. And it looks almost like it could be text or writing. As you blow into it, you blow thousands of dust mites into your eyes."

Adaine: *coughing*

Brennan: "You stumble back, slam your head into the bunk bed, and one of the railings comes loose, hits you in the head, and knocks you unconscious."

Murph: "Holy ****!"

Ally: "No! No! I'll do a Medicine check!"

Riz: "Quick, Kristen, do a Medicine check!"

Brennan: "Go ahead and roll with disadvantage. Let me know if any of the dice come up under an eight."

Ally: "Oh, No, no, we're good."

Brennan: "Okay, cool."

Ally: "12."

Lou: "Jesus."

Brennan: "You go stabilize Adaine."

Ally: "So, 21."

Brennan: "21."
