Speaker 1:

Welcome to Monster Monster, a real-play Dungeons Dragons show featuring comedians playing your favorite characters.

Speaker 3:

I'm your Dungeon Master, Kevin Eggleston, joined by Hi, I'm Tyson Cox and I play Chester Blackfield. Who's never gonna get hurt too bad.

Speaker 2:

Alright, yeah, and I'm Ekram. I rocketed myself into the void last time, so we're going to see how that goes, yeah for those of you just joining us, what the heck it's been like 18 episodes. Get caught up. At least listen to the last one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but in our last journey, Ekram made a heroic sacrifice to stall or thwart the advances of the Cult of the Unseeing Eye by shattering his staff of power. He did. And accidentally launching himself into the astral plane where he now is drifting in the void.

Speaker 3:

Kaga turns out she's kind of a jerk.

Speaker 1:

Yes, kaga turns out she's kind of a jerk. Yes, kaga, the one-time henchman associate lackey, personal assistant PA future friend of the time, dragon the loreworm has turned out to be a betrayer Again. Having to relive her life over and over again every time has driven her slightly insane and she has turned against her former associates. All right, you guys ready to start?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Ekrem, you're drifting in the astral void, this plane, this liminal space, somewhere that exists between consciousness and unconsciousness. In the distance you see twinkling what look like stars, but based on your kind of understanding of the astral plane, it's just as likely to be stars as it is entire consciousnesses or other astral beings.

Speaker 2:

I throw my hands behind my head and I kick back and cross my legs and I go. Well, ekram, you did it. You saved everybody and nothing bad's happening on the other side, where you left everyone we cut to chester spitting teeth out.

Speaker 1:

There's a smoking crater in the halls of the lore worm. You see the scattered remains and body parts of several cultists and as the smoke clears you see the muscled and, in this case, very angry face of one Kaga blood axe. Looks like plaster and bits of masonry have cut into her a little bit, but she is not even noticing it. You see a chunk of some wooden probably piece of furniture that had come off and slammed into her shoulder, put a big old piece of a big old splinter into her shoulder and she just kind of nonchalantly pulls it out I'd like to do a quick perception check to see if I can see any like bits of uh ekram, because I don't know what.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what just happened okay, go ahead and give me that perception. Check uh, 22, 22, ooh roll good 22. You see, as you are kind of looking over there, what's interesting is you see the area around this explosion. You see stonework has been cracked as if like something forceful blew out of that. But you also see around that initial area is like a perfect sphere.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

As if you're like just parts of this place disappeared.

Speaker 2:

I thought it was going to be like after a nuclear bomb, where you just see the shadow.

Speaker 1:

You just see just Ekrem's like force ghost.

Speaker 3:

Oh no, we got bought out by Disney. God, I wish Get at us Big D. Wait a minute, oh.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, as you kind of are looking around, kind of collecting your senses, you just feel Kylo Rush forward, grab you and just pick you up one-handed by your throat It'll be okay. Yeah, this time it will be okay. And she takes the dagger from your hand, the one that she had trusted you with to kill the lore worm.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, strength check.

Speaker 1:

You can give me a strength check.

Speaker 3:

I'm not going out without trying Nine. Nine's good Nine, do it.

Speaker 1:

You do that thing, I'm just for the viewers at home. You remember that really uncomfortable scene in Saving Private Ryan.

Speaker 3:

Oh no.

Speaker 1:

Where that guy just slowly lowers that bayonet into the other person. Yeah, it's like that, but a lot faster.

Speaker 2:

Oh okay, she's just like you, didn't provide any resistance.

Speaker 1:

So.

Speaker 3:

I got stabbed. It's called stabbing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was like you did that thing where you're like no, no, and she's like bet.

Speaker 2:

Hard cut to Ekrem, God. I'm glad I saved everybody. I bet Chester's so happy right now.

Speaker 1:

What was your hit points at before we started?

Speaker 3:

this oh, it's not great.

Speaker 1:

Okay, okay, yeah. So you're starting to feel your lifeblood spill out of you. She pulls that dagger free and begins walking into the chamber of the lore worm. Now the defenses have been kind of shattered. It looks like it's almost just her left. All the other cultists for the moment have been blown to smithereens or chilling somewhere in the void with Ekram. They're just like one of the guys, like hey I think we did it guys. Firebolt, he's just chilling. He's like hey, this is actually not that.

Speaker 2:

Ow, you're having such a good time and I'm just like he's like hey, this is actually not that, ow, you're having such a good time. And I'm just like I think I saved everybody. I'm like, yeah, my name will be in the history books.

Speaker 1:

All right, we cut back to Ekrem, as you are drifting in this astral plane really quick. What's your intelligence?

Speaker 2:

Phenomenal as a charisma-based character. What's your intelligence? Phenomenal as a charisma based character?

Speaker 3:

it's definitely yeah, it's a plus one.

Speaker 2:

I forgot. I made my wisdom minus one, not my intelligence, so slightly smarter than the average boy. I just don't know what to do with it.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yeah, well, thanks. Then I made it feel like every gifted kid in the reader's program in middle school.

Speaker 2:

now, I was never part of that actually.

Speaker 1:

Okay, well, I was, and look where it got me.

Speaker 2:

DMing a podcast the same room as me.

Speaker 1:

You notice at first. You see what looks like the only piece of solid mass you can see around you floating in this kind of this gaseous void is stardust or things like this swirls around you. It looks like the only piece of solid matter you've seen, like this chunk of asteroid. On it you see a strange twinkling, as if something's trying to get your attention, almost like somebody's giving you like a signal mirror. If it was like a shipwreck or something.

Speaker 2:

It's like, oh well, I wasn't expecting anybody else on this voyage, I'll float toward. Okay, I'll swim. What do you do?

Speaker 1:

Right as you try to make that move. You realize, uh, you try to move your feet and you try to dog paddle.

Speaker 2:

And you realize, uh, go ahead and give me an arcana check. It's like this, like outer space where I could fart, and that's the yes, uh, the astral plane.

Speaker 1:

It puts the ass in astral nice.

Speaker 2:

What check did you say?

Speaker 3:

yeah, arcana I know joke was gonna say like he's being kind of a jerk. He's really putting the ass in astral earlier.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but man yeah, no, it's, it's. It's one that lends itself to stuff a lot it very viable, do you? Think the astral plane is where Uranus is located right now. All right.

Speaker 3:

Anyways, Tyler, what'd you get 11.

Speaker 1:

In this moment you flash back to your wizard schooling teacher. That was like Ekrem. If you're ever stranded in the astral plane, here's what you. And then it goes static, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Boo.

Speaker 1:

Oh right, I didn't listen, yeah you realize, uh, physically you can't do anything to move um, but almost as if you think it, you feel yourself moving. So you realize fairly quickly with a little bit of experimentation thought is what drives the astral plane. Your intelligence determines how successful you are in here, your strength of will and all that stuff I'm gonna do slightly better than average.

Speaker 1:

This is great, yeah, no, it's uh it's gonna take a while with think real hard about that asteroid, yeah, but we're getting there, yeah. So you uh begin drifting towards that asteroid as you do're getting there, yeah, so you begin drifting towards that asteroid. As you do, you notice, the flashing becomes a little bit, a little bit more consistent. You realize it's kind of like you're starting to piece together a message. Go ahead and make an intelligence check for me, just flat intelligence.

Speaker 2:

Just flat.

Speaker 3:

Intelligence 11 you feel slightly better than average yeah, you uh told you you recognize some of it.

Speaker 1:

You realize this is kind of almost a form of like fantasy morse code and again you've flashed to your survival teacher, being like ak Ekrem. If you're ever stranded with somebody flashing Morse code at you, fantasy style, you just know that deet, deet, deet, deet deet, deet, deet, deet, deet is, and I'm sitting there, I'm like I don't think I went to school, not any ingredients. Yeah, you just all of a sudden have a bunch of jingles in your head from like other products.

Speaker 2:

You're like mentos mentads I don't remember that, but I definitely know the phone number if I need a new carpet I know all these places that make freshly baked bagels.

Speaker 1:

All right, we cut to chester. You fall to the ground, your lifeblood spilling out. Go ahead and make that first death saving throw for me.

Speaker 3:

Oh no, I just went from. All right, I gotta, I gotta kill myself real fast yeah.

Speaker 1:

We all saw that one coming, didn't we guys? Yeah?

Speaker 2:

Oh, live on air, exciting yeah All right the first death saving throw. Like an exposed politician, real Bud Dwyer right here. Deep cut references.

Speaker 1:

I'm so glad none of these will make it 18. Fantastic, you try to stop that bleeding. You feel like an inner strength, a rage, like it's not even rage. You're just determined. At this point, you, with the pulse of your heart that you can feel now, as the blood is leaving your body, you kind of neat you see in front of you, uh, a female character, or female character oh yeah, yeah, really giving the meta here.

Speaker 1:

Uh, you see a female figure clad in black armor, her body just covered in just daggers and throwing knives, and she steps towards you. She leans down and just says why, I can't believe I ever let somebody as pitiful as you kill me.

Speaker 3:

Sorry about that, wait, am I dead Wait?

Speaker 1:

You're not dead yet, chester. Okay, but you will be if you don't get up.

Speaker 3:

What if I take a quick nap? Rule say just a short rest.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, getting kind of cold. I feel like I just need to take a little nap.

Speaker 1:

How many times did you sleep after a fight, after you got hit real good in the head?

Speaker 3:

Me or Chester? Are they different answers?

Speaker 2:

One should be never the other question mark. In season two we got to work on your character creation.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we're putting a little too much of the self in the soup, you know.

Speaker 2:

The kids say you're bumming us out soup. You know, yeah, the kids say you're bumming us out.

Speaker 3:

I mean, I've never been in a fight, but I've fallen off bikes Anyways.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's just fighting yourself riding, I guess, fought earth with my head.

Speaker 3:

Sorry, you said. How does it feel to? Sorry, I honestly didn't mean to. How does it feel to? I'm sorry, I honestly didn't mean to.

Speaker 2:

Oh no, she was saying you gotta get up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you gotta get up.

Speaker 3:

Sorry, you went too far back, Did we?

Speaker 2:

do it, yep.

Speaker 3:

I typically do, and I go to stand up Really like squeeze the wound. I typically do and I go to stand up, okay, really like squeeze the wound, put pressure on the wound, I guess.

Speaker 1:

Just squeeze the wound. I milk it. I milk my thorax wound.

Speaker 2:

Just really get up in that wound.

Speaker 3:

See, the problem is all the blood in me. It's weighing me down.

Speaker 1:

I'm just going to get some of this blood out If I make my inside blood, outside blood problem solved. Yeah, so you're going to be still doing this? She leans down and cups your face in her hands and pulls your eyes up to her and you see in front of you killer number one, a person. The last time you saw you had accidentally murdered her.

Speaker 3:

Hey, I really am sorry about that. That was never my intention.

Speaker 1:

She just looks at you and she says Chester, our intentions seldom matter, it's usually the outcomes, the only thing we care about.

Speaker 3:

Well, yeah, I reckon I got a bit more to do, Hopefully.

Speaker 1:

We cut to Ekrem.

Speaker 2:

God, I'm so scared right now, but at least I have peace in knowing Chester's okay.

Speaker 1:

Fun how this one continues a trend of Chester just bleeding out while Ekrem's kind of like I can do some heavy lifting story-wise.

Speaker 3:

This is a pretty good bookend. He died how he lived.

Speaker 2:

Making death saves.

Speaker 3:

Bloody, while Ekron was somewhere else.

Speaker 1:

You make your way to this asteroid, you notice it almost has the resembling look of a skull, covered with just this growth of stone and almost like coral-like texture. It almost seems like it belongs to, like a sea creature Comforting. Yeah, you see a flat space with a purple glowing fire on it.

Speaker 2:

I will think my way on over Okay.

Speaker 1:

As you do, you see a figure standing by that fire and as you approach it, it turns to look at you and you see your shadow self. Oh, damn it.

Speaker 3:

I was hoping it was like Bob Vila or something.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to think my way past this place.

Speaker 1:

No, no, don't, Don't Ekrem, don't go.

Speaker 2:

Hear me out, I know you've been. I literally have no other option at this point.

Speaker 1:

No, do you see anyone else around? This is what I have to do to get a little bit of your attention.

Speaker 2:

I did this. You're not taking this from me. I saved my best friend.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you saved him.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. He's doing fine, I know I saved him.

Speaker 1:

I could show you him right now. Do you want to see him? No, I'm confident I'm not taking any of your deals. Man.

Speaker 2:

No, because you're going to try and fool me into thinking he's dying. So I accept your stupid gift, but I know he's fine.

Speaker 1:

You always were a real plus one intelligence kind of guy. Yeah, akram, we I've tried to bargain with you. I've tried to barter. I think now I should just tell you the truth.

Speaker 2:

You didn't think that was smart. Off the rip.

Speaker 1:

Well, I really honestly kind of like look at your past bud. Were you really in a space to trust?

Speaker 2:

No, but I don't think lying at the top of a relationship is a good way to build that trust. Because now, how do I know?

Speaker 1:

Just because you said it's the truth this time it's like, oh well, he wouldn't tell me that if he was lying again, I guess maybe I need to trust you to handle the truth and you need to just have a little bit of faith that I won't lie this time. Hmm, alright, as he's talking to you, go ahead and give me an insight check.

Speaker 2:

It's a natural one. It was a natural one. Is it a zero? You rolled a zero. It's a natural one.

Speaker 1:

That's a wisdom. Is it a zero? You rolled a zero.

Speaker 3:

It's a wisdom skill.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

All right, I'll trust him, you know counter to everything you've ever told me.

Speaker 2:

You're right.

Speaker 1:

You feel like he actually is coming clean with you this time I have to.

Speaker 3:

I rolled a nat 1. Mathematically it says so yeah.

Speaker 2:

Chester is going to be okay, I know I saved him.

Speaker 1:

But you've got to get back to him quick.

Speaker 2:

I mean I definitely plan on getting back to him for sure I want to help you with that.

Speaker 1:

I bet you do. I really I do. I can honestly say I never anticipated you turning down power at every opportunity. It almost makes me proud of you Kind of, in the way you see somebody doing something really dumb but you're like, damn, they're doing it on their own.

Speaker 2:

Thanks. I don't know how to respond to this. I guess I'm just kind of like still listening to hear where the butt is going to be, you know, because, like every time that he's tried to bargain with me before, it's always like I'll bet you need me now. So I'm waiting for, like, the flip on his inch.

Speaker 1:

The thing is, ekrem, you can't do this with who you are now, but you can do it with the person. You can be watched. You struggle and fight and try to use darkness and a person's own fears against them, and I wonder what do you think would happen if you embrace those parts about you that you use against everyone else?

Speaker 2:

Well, if I'm being honest with myself, I fear that it would teeter that line between the absolute power, corrupting absolutely. And as long as I keep myself in check and keep my emotions under control, I can utilize these abilities without making them exploitive. So, quite frankly, I've been denying your power up to this point, to prove a point to myself that I do have the self-control I've always wanted.

Speaker 1:

And you've done remarkable. I watched you, I picked you, I've put you in this place and every time you've resisted, just taking the easy path. And he steps into the light of the fire and as he does, that kind of shadowy self of you vanishes and you're just left looking at, in this case, an exact copy of yourself, and he goes. I think it's easier for you to see me this way than how I really am, but just know I'm very glad you're one of the city's protectors and he holds out a hand to you.

Speaker 2:

Back to Chester, yeah, chester.

Speaker 1:

Make that second death saving throw. You kind of do this thing where you're trying to pick yourself up as if you're trying to lean against the weight of this woman. Where you're trying to pick yourself up as if you're trying to lean against the weight of this woman and you just kind of fall as you realize she's incorporeal. You fall through her, hitting your face on the ground.

Speaker 3:

I slipped on some of the bad blood I had inside my body.

Speaker 2:

Well, that's taking damage. So you just failed. Two more deaths, shut up, then you're dead.

Speaker 1:

Chester, I'm not here like that.

Speaker 3:

You live on in my heart, you're right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the one that has a dagger In it, big guy.

Speaker 3:

I mean, she took it back.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, they usually do. It seemed like it was very potent. Chester, if we would have fought I mean really fought do you think you would have won?

Speaker 3:

No, you would have whipped the tits off me. Is that a phrase?

Speaker 1:

Don't be offensive before you die I mean this is all in your head, so I guess you thought it as a phrase. I mean this is all in your head, so I guess you thought it as a phrase.

Speaker 3:

Chester, why do you think I would have beat you? Because you're killer number one. You're the best killer. Like, you're very good at it.

Speaker 1:

Thank you.

Speaker 2:

No, that's very nice.

Speaker 3:

I appreciate that she was good at it. You no, that's very nice, she was good at it.

Speaker 1:

yeah, you're not here, shut up shit, I was the best at it, but you know how I got that way uh practice. Yeah, murder, murder practice, no, but also, I had to want it. I wanted it more than anything I'd ever wanted. And when you took that swing at me I could see in your eyes you didn't want any of this.

Speaker 3:

Nope, you're very good at reading people as well.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, very good at reading the room. Well, yeah, very good at reading the room, not so much at finding the stool behind me.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, well, I may have come back from the future. I'm not sure exactly if it was real or not, but Chester, what did you want? An easy life.

Speaker 1:

And what have you been given?

Speaker 3:

Well, it could be worse, I'm sure.

Speaker 1:

How Would you have two stab wounds, big guy?

Speaker 3:

Yep, I mean, that is worse.

Speaker 1:

Kaga runs back in the room.

Speaker 2:

Oh, thank you. Oh gosh, I was sweating. I was like, if he doesn't.

Speaker 1:

Hey, what the shit? Yeah, give you another one, you big old dum-dum.

Speaker 3:

You see, things were better just a minute ago. It can always be Never mind.

Speaker 1:

The Lord Dragon's like oh, fuck man. Oh, you wanted an easy life and you've never had that From your childhood to a failed marriage. I wasn't married, exactly your wife says I don't even think I was married to him. I just forget about him all the time. And here you are.

Speaker 3:

Bleeding out, dying a man that's never been married.

Speaker 1:

I know that's even more sad than if you had a wife that left you somehow.

Speaker 2:

Cut to Ekrem. You know what I'm going to be honest with when I get back, and I'm just going to let him know that he never had a wife.

Speaker 1:

I never had a wife, I never had a wife sheep the only thing that you've ever done that surprised me is that you didn't just lay down and die each time you'd been hit, beat. Is that you didn't just lay down and die each time You'd been hit, beat, stabbed, set on fire? You were humiliated by a piece of armor.

Speaker 3:

In my defense, I did get poisoned because my companion tripped a trap.

Speaker 1:

And yet every time you got back up. Why won't this time be any different, chester?

Speaker 3:

well, I reckon it won't be any different.

Speaker 1:

I'm I'm doing pretty good she looks it's just a puddle of blood under you. She's like chester you're talking to a hallucination, a blood loss induced hallucination. How do you think? It's like Chester, you're talking to a hallucination, a blood loss induced hallucination. How do you think it's going?

Speaker 3:

It just cuts out and I'm just like on my knees Just slowly drooling blood.

Speaker 1:

Just one cultist walking in there, just being like I don't know what we're supposed to do. Is he okay? They're just like. You know what, Just walk, Keep walking. He's. You know, it's all sort itself out. Um, one of them slides you, uh, like a cookie and a juice box.

Speaker 3:

It's just like yeah.

Speaker 1:

I know that it was about the best I can do Go ahead and give yourself a go ahead and make a medicine check, Just for like what you think's happening to yourself.

Speaker 3:

That's a pretty hearty plus zero.

Speaker 1:

So ooh, does a six work? I'm good dude. You're still playing the game of like bad blood's coming out, good blood's gonna go in at some point, right.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I haven't seen a barber in years, hence being bald, but also this is what they would do. I have less blood.

Speaker 2:

Duh, what does that?

Speaker 1:

have to do with a barber. Barbers used to be old-timey surgeons, oh.

Speaker 2:

Huh.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he passed a real-life history check there.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I didn't. Oh, sorry guys. Tyson dumb.

Speaker 2:

I was so confused.

Speaker 1:

No, it's just weird that you know the history of barbers.

Speaker 2:

I know a lot of weird stuff. It is ironic. I know a lot of weird stuff. It is ironic. I mean, if we're being real, I should have been the one that knew.

Speaker 3:

More of a stylist, I think.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, alright, we cut to Ekrem. God, I'm glad my buddy's okay.

Speaker 1:

Every time. We cut back to Ekrem on the asteroid. The purified looking version of yourself has his hand extended to you. He just says Ekrem, I want to help. All you have to do is take my hand. No strings, no more bargains, Just my help.

Speaker 2:

I'm still having a really hard time deciding whether this thing is actually evil or not, so I'm very conflicted. You know what?

Speaker 1:

No, okay, I've made it this far on my own, and copping out right at the end feels completely against who I am. Okay, so you rejected him. I do. Uh, how's that look? Are you just like get?

Speaker 2:

fucked nerd and I just and I just float Birds up. I mean, once again, I can be very dramatic about this. I think I will be very dramatic about this. Can I stealthily summon my shadow dagger? Sure, is that just sleight of hand? Yeah, 13. Good thing.

Speaker 1:

I've got inspiration okay you see his face twist into this like mask of rage. You've refuted him a final time so he saw me. He just again just like just animosity to you, stupid little shit. You'll doom entire worlds for the sake of your pride and he's gonna take a lunge at you you're gonna make two roles here. You've got your shadow dagger stealthed out. Ok, you can make an attack role.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

And then you're also going to make a charisma saving throw.

Speaker 2:

Okay, which one do you want first? Whichever one you want to give me first. Okay, the attack roll was only an 11. Okay, the charisma saving throw is a 16. Okay.

Speaker 1:

His hands latch onto you for a second. You feel shadowy tendrils seeping into your skin. That icy coldness that you felt in the shadow fell, that both felt like home and also felt very wrong Sinking into you. But you assert your belief. You are Ekrem. You have said no all your life and everyone thought Ekrem is just being obstinate, but in the end you've been resolute this entire time. You feel those shadows being pushed out, that ASMR nature on yours, that shadowy self that you summon, actually this time bursts into a radiant light and drives him back at the same time as you drive your dagger forward into his chest, piercing through his robes and striking at his heart. You see that rage and hate turn his heart. You see that rage and hate turn into agony and then he slumps to the ground dead.

Speaker 2:

Almost melting. No final words no yeah.

Speaker 1:

Hey man, ekrem's going to be like this too.

Speaker 2:

Or not, Ekrem.

Speaker 3:

Chester whichever one, the one you care about most, chester more like chest wound, am I right?

Speaker 2:

Right before the light leaves his eyes. I just want to look at him and I want to go just to let you know you never stood a chance. I want that to be the last thing he hears. Let you know you never stood a chance. I want that to be the last thing he hears. Okay, that's cold. It is Fuck this guy. He's dead. What's he gonna do about it?

Speaker 1:

From behind you. You just hear a slow kind of clap.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, cultists, it's me.

Speaker 3:

Still gonna get you.

Speaker 1:

You did pretty good there. I'm proud of you, akram. You didn't have to say no, but you did. Every time you turn and you see Pewter.

Speaker 2:

Oh shit.

Speaker 1:

How's it?

Speaker 2:

going.

Speaker 1:

You know it's pretty good. You've been here a while Longer than you would know.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, how does time work here? Is it like way slower, way faster? Has it been like 100 years? In the real world we?

Speaker 1:

spent about two death saving throws for you. I was about to say so about 12 seconds.

Speaker 2:

You haven't been back so you don't know. Those are dumb questions.

Speaker 1:

That's on me. She know I've be honest with you, kid.

Speaker 2:

I've always been here well, if I have to be completely honest, if I would have known that you were here a bit sooner I believe that was our only way out I might have said yes to help both of us. I I thought it was like self-sacrifice part two, but now I kind of feel bad.

Speaker 1:

No, ekrem, there's Nothing's ever unsolvable. No trap is unbreakable, no plane is inescapable. And Pewter trots up to you, her little dwarven-mailed hand, just reaching out to you hey, you want to go home, bud.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, that sounds pretty great.

Speaker 1:

We cut to Chester.

Speaker 3:

Please don't use the word cut.

Chester. You go to stand, just willpower and grit as you almost rise. Then you drop to one arm. You look up and you see the killer in front of you. She just says, chester, I wish you would have done a little bit better, but just know, in the end I'm proud of you for always getting up bud and you feel everything go cold.

Speaker 1:

Before everything fades out, I just look up at the killer and I'm just like well, well, I guess it had to happen someday the last thing you see is a small child holding hands with the killer, her bright clothes contrasting with the black armor of the killer, and then you fade to darkness.
