D&D with High School Students S01E04 - THE FINALE - DnD, Dungeons & Dragons, newbies

hello and welcome back to the final battle for the  first installment of D&D with high school students   Cooper Rory Brian and Heather recently survived an  attack at a very mysterious and arcane place were   the Dead returned Heather you were wounded Rory  you were wounded you almost died Heather what what   are you at currently hit point was for four okay  and Rory you were also down very low but Heather   used the last bit of her healing power to help you  I was dumb I lights you've had well you know what   that's it was you were you were self less instead  of being selfish you're a team player yeah I'll   protect you okay I have to go and get your hands  dirty so you guys continue proceeding through the   murky woods and as you proceed it is now well well  into the late night hours it's about 3:30 in the   morning as you continue proceeding you travel for  like another hour right trying to follow eastward   towards where Malcolm thought that maybe he had  lost the track of his son and wife but up ahead   you see kind of like a path not like a big trail  but like kind of like almost like a deer path   and you follow it through the dark the sounds  of night permeate the air and far off in the   distance illuminated only by the pale moonlight  you see a tower a stone tower very old looking   up ahead wait I have a question mmm-hmm didn't  we weren't we supposed to find out if Malcolm   was no well some of you cuz he roll it Rory Rory  is Rory feels like he doesn't there's something   suspicious about Cooper vehemently believes that  I was on Rory side it's not that's not it could   be it's too cliche the tower seems to be a couple  hundred yards away you could see it through the   clearing along the path what do you do oh yeah  last time we investigated we all know if you're   in the woods are you fine why don't they got  kidnapped if you're as you guys are standing   there you hear a cry from far off it sounds  like two different people all right for help from the direction of the tower can I roll my  can't roll anything right now you can well you get   role perception any of you can actively yeah all  right I'm doing there that's your old perception   yep cuz I have plus five okay see big the person  who commented on my dice rolling technique is now   in my head now I don't know how that was like my  natural role but now I'm trying to just feel the   dice just do your thang guys gonna watch that  he's gay , he's gonna be like I'm so sorry he's   in my head mr. Allen he's in my head the Cooper  that is the worst role of you hey I honestly   shai roll - yeah everybody roll so eight I think  God for Rory otherwise you guys all would have   been skunked pathetic rule section yeah so Rory's  like he's like hold on dude that's definitely two   voices one female one child that's them like you  are certain of what you're hearing and it's coming   from that direction of the tower alright we're  going for that you continue proceeding walking   running well how do you move you run all right  roxrite sprint you guys start you take off you're   running Malcolm's like older and he's like trying  to keep up cuz he's kind of out of shape but so   he's like a little bit behind you guys alright  you come to a clearing and you see this old stone   tower calm down there's pieces of it crumbling  there seems to be a massive old wooden oak door   a set of double doors so how you approach Cooper  move your meetings alright so there's a door right   there I think we just do a I move all now yes  as you guys get this close you definitely hear   the cries for help you also hear something that  sounds a bit like a combination of growling and   barking almost like dope almost like the wolves  that you encountered but if there was as good   because we can knock those ones down any way you  approach the double doors they are massive and   thick and also what Oh Rory let's go baby leaves  to us alright Rory you take a look at this big   lock and it looks like pretty solid metal right so  you pull out your thieves tools and you begin to   work at the lock and figure out the the different  components of the lock so what you're gonna do as   a thief you have proficiency in these tools but  do you see a number below your thieves tools okay   that's higher because as a rogue you also have  what's called expertise you get to choose two   skills where you have expertise and that doubles  your proficiency so instead of what I think would   be a +5 you have a +7 because that's also your  expertise so you're gonna roll a d20 and seven to   the result and we'll hope to roll hi buddy 19 all  right with a little bit of time in some precision   you're able to hear the the right tumblers click  into place and you slowly turn the lock and your   lock picks do not break yeah you hear the click  and now you can feel that the door can be opened   how do you proceed I'll go first cuz I have the  most hit points me and Brian do so me and Brian   should go first you just like burst in we needed  torching you're trying to be quiet yeah oh so then   let's have you make a stealth roll take a look at  your character sheets anybody who's gonna walk in   there I say make a stealth roll that's an all  yeah okay you guys stay outside no they they   should stay outside welcome you watch mountain roy  is worth stuff go ahead and roll it yourself I'm   gonna have another boy that's not bad Cooper's  16 okay 16 is good there we go Laurie +7 okay   so Cooper's like you guys stay here me and the  professor and you like you've turned to go in   and the professor's already end that's not quite  so you guys are standing outside you the moonlight   is is enough but do you continue to have a torch  or brian's light can trip or do you just go dark   no Malcolm seems very nervous he's like wife and  son they're in there I could hear them calling   for help well what please what should we do you  feel like you could you like if you don't talk him   down he's gonna like run in there and do something  you got charisma you're not there I'll get to you   guys in a second yeah Brian do you have persuasion  yeah how would you persuade talking your character   to calm him down how would you persuade make a  scene and cause the wolves to come out good roll there you go what's your bonus +4 good ok he's  he seems to be like hell hopefully EURion and the   professor will find them so he seems to calm them  you better do it alright oh wait back to you guys   you're in the professor you proceed in and the  main floor that you walk into seems to be like   an old ruined tower like there's nothing there  there's broken furniture dust covering everything   but the cry for help seems to come from below  hmm and you notice in the center is a trapdoor   that seemingly leads to the cellar can we like  use perception to see what else is around us I   can't show this to that you see that there's  a stairwell the spiral stairwell that goes up   to the upper levels of the tower but the only  thing that looks like it goes down there's no   stairs going down but there's a trapdoor that  looks like it might have like our shirts down   or can we roll perception make sure like you  I'm not gonna bother to make you roll you're   right in there and you could hear the cries  for help and and they seem more imminent and   the growling sound you also hear and it sounds  now that you're inside almost like there's some   weird chanting happening - yeah we got this we're  going down that trapdoor okay how do you open it   wrote we got it who opens it Rory cuz he's  stealth Oh Rory make an investigation roll oh my gosh let's go out to open it and then you  see a weird metal wire and you're like hold up   oh we can and you follow the wire and you notice  that this trapdoor is trapped now you can make   another role to disarm the trap yeah that's what  it go ahead and make that make a second role and   add your plus seven that's all right 15 all right  you like you gently with your tools you like lift   the wire out so you could find the point of origin  and then you put like a little tension loop around   some part of it so that it doesn't feel like it's  sprung and when you get that done you carefully   cut the other side and you lift the trap door open  and you could see now that there is a ladder going   down to a cellar with a stone floor and you  could see a crossbow aimed at the trapdoor so   if you had triggered it you would have been shot  by the Cross we will get in a minute well you've   been shot by a crossbow you the minute you would  have opened the trapdoor to a certain point the   crossbow would have shot you so you disarmed it  did you pick up that car there's well it's it's   it's like bolted into the stone so it's that  that way at aims like when when the string   would have pulled the trigger it would have aimed  there so there is the wall there is now you see   a ladder going down to the cellar oh yeah what  do you guys do done it okay I'll go down I got   more hitpoints okay so Cooper you go down first  yeah all right I'm gonna move this over here it   is scary because as you guys begin to descend  you see that this opens up into a larger room   and across from you in this larger room you see  a circle of people surrounding to other people   who are tied up and there's a fire and they're  told you there's one person who seems to be   doing chanting while the others are in a circle  and like there they seem to be in some kind of   ritual or we might need you guys by the way so  guys kind of come down here right or do we got like pencil I like planning like problem-solving  before so we're pretty good here's what you see   I feel like the dynamic duo who's got you see a  woman you see a woman and a child we're tied up   they're tied up in the middle there's a guy in a  black cloak who's like doing some kind of ritual   and he's like he like throws up a powder and then  he like lights a candle and he's chanting he's   the one that's like rock Obama game day Barack  Obama DJ Bronco Moloch and so then those are   wolf people was then you see that there's these  four creatures or kind of like they're involved   in the ritual and they're like you could see  that they're like excited about this ritual   they're like growling and one of them was like the  woman and the child seemed terrified yeah there's   also like a weird chalk circle drawn around them  some kind of magical thing do you have arcane oh   no sorry you don't know what it is wait no we can  call Brian right well you could you want to sneak   back up and go get them yeah I think we should  do that yeah well can you go back yet you guys   do you guys both go up yeah we do because we  have to come here you guys you guys are like   look the lander comes down here you're like in  the shadows but across this room you see this   you guys both of you can we go up the weak the  trap doesn't activate again no the trap doesn't   activate but if you want to go back up the ladder  without them seeing you each one of you needs to   make a stealth roll we could get slaughtered  right yeah okay I say I say you need to sit   down because what if they start at a loser no  no they won't they won't they won't yelling okay then make Cooper die you guys want one  of you or both of you to solve this group then   we're all we're both going up we're both make  yourself bowls oh my - three 23:10 3 3 + leau77   no but Cooper so here's what happens you're  like so you you go up the ladder and you're   fine you get up there no or better climbed up  the ladder as you're climbing up the ladder the   ladder squeaks okay now I have to make a roll  because it's just because you failed doesn't   mean they automatically I just got the canine  creatures turns and starts running towards you   on the ladder now you make an initiative  if you beat him on initiative make a d20   initiative roll up the last one just know this  you have one round after Cooper's first round   and then that dog guy is up there with you okay  so qu you get up the ladder you run to the door   Cooper comes out the door what do you say hey get  in here everyone there's some wolf people we need   to kill these guys all right that's your round  you guys are gonna go yeah okay Rory you get up   the ladder you run to Cooper you see Cooper  just explaining to them what's going on and   they start grabbing all their stuff ready to go  in what do you say I say one of the Wolves saw   me come up the ladder they know we're here we  can't sneak down there okay just as you finish   saying that you guys see this wolf thing running  up towards you guys everybody roll initiative why is it always this way all right so Cooper  you go first see the Wolfman coming in it   actually worked out well so I'm gonna show  you guys regrets you're right outside the   tower headshot on the right now where  I met you put because he's not right   at you yet it's your call but I worry  thinking oh okay roll your damage d8d 8 1 plus much more okay fine so you run up and  you stab them from one side worry you're up   next flank ok move up now you get to roll  both D 20s is you have

nice let roll yeah   your medicine tells you that Heather is closer  to death than the professor yep but what about   the potion your it doesn't tell you [ __ ] about  the potion sorry all right well I already kind   of know how they're supposed to definitely do I  feed it to her do you save me okay give a we do   remember that that Karl the druid did in fact save  the professor no obvious I'm

to town the adventure is finished well  done you've succeeded you've survived you gain   experience points and you fight you live to  fight another day so we hope that you've all   enjoyed this magnificent miniseries of D&D with  high school students featuring our cast Cooper   Rory Brian and Heather and special guest on live  musical accompaniment today Tony K so that's it   we do have some some questions from the audience  so we're gonna really quickly go through this if   anybody's still in there directing does anybody  still there Tim sands laying it down all right   quick questions we'll start off with Coover and  Rory yep D&D was completely new what was the best   part of this experience for you Cooper I just  really liked that you could do like anything you   wanted I thought that was so cool like I've never  had that option like in in games where it's like   like video games you know like you you can suppose  what we do whatever you want but you really can't   but it's like you could do whatever you wanted  I thought that the choice to do what everyone   was very cool all right part excellent Rory I  like how like you can choose whether you want   to go like into battle or not because sometimes  like in other games like who percent you're like   forced to go into battles so like I like how you  can choose whether like what's the best decision   okay Cooper what did you and most about your  character like being the Ranger being having   that character specifically yeah and would you  like to try another class or another race I want   to try that well I did like first of all I liked  Ranger I liked using the bow I thought the bow   would have been cool if it had like more of an  attack bonus than the rapier but still it was   it was pretty cool but I would like to do the one  we were looking at the first Dragonborn yeah yeah   Rory how about you you played it rogue what were  your thoughts on that role did you like it would   you like to try something different I like the  rogue but I feel like if like when you because   I was kind of close combat person with the short  sword so I feel like if I had a higher armor class   kind of like Cooper's and I would have been better  better excellent all right we're gonna shift this   side of the table so Brian what did you enjoy  most about the game experience um kind of like   what Cooper and Rory said like I liked that they  gave you a lot of freedom to like choose whether   you either fight or not or if you just take the  adventure at all okay Heather yeah I thought that   was cool too like they're seeing like you're you  can just do whatever you want and like I've wanted   to play for a really long time it's my uncles  I'd obsessed and so I've always known like what   it was and like how to play but I never played  it sounds cool all right good what about your   your choice so your character was a druid what  was it like what did you like about it what did   you not like what would you try differently  I liked that I had like the healing stuff I   was cool yeah yeah cuz that hell it was like we  all would have died um but I don't know I don't   know what I would change what would you like  to try differently are there any other foreign   character probably I don't know which one but I'd  try a different one okay Brian um would you like   about being a sorcerer what did you not like  what would you try differently um I feel like   being a sorcerer you have like a lot of canned  tripping spells which is usually really hell   if they hit and stuff but no I like I like the  addition of if they have the game they did hit   though you came up a coach Brian but I probably  would try and switch because like even though I   had a dagger it was kind of weak so there was  really no point in using it mm-hmm okay good   after playing this game now and seen a little bit  more about how it works would you want to play it   again and would you like would you play it with  other people yeah yeah I would I would start off   on this I'd go yeah for sure play again I don't  know if I would like it as much if you weren't   the Dungeon Master's that was well yeah yeah I  think you need to be my dungeon master for you   you are rather fortunate that you got to play  with the greatest under master now like Gary   Gygax the inventor of the game is dead I am the  greatest how about you Roy yeah I think the dozen   master is like a really big part of like the game  because it creates like the adventure and I would   definitely like to play it again if I have like  a good Dungeon Master okay PostScript would you   ever want to learn the game enough and make your  own world and be a dungeon master yeah consider   that yeah Brian and Heather same same question now  that you played the game would you play it again   would you play with other people and you know  would you maybe want to try your attempt at being   at under master I would want to play with like  experience he looks like we're all newbies but   like the people that come in and play okay that  you film on the weekends like they're into it you   don't know what we're doing yeah like I mean like  costume like they're you know I want to do this in   and I feel like that'd be that'd be cool to like  play with people that are experienced you should   have like when you feel knows you shout like a  guest like high school student every time you   just come in and play for one adventure than you  you always die at the end they like push you off just a band of bars they don't get like a fight  when they're about to fight they just have like   a Brian what's your what's your thought do you  did you was the experience what you thought it   would be would you play it again would you  ever try your own attempt at do you mean or   creating a world I feel like the experience  would be really low because it seems really   fun and I definitely would play it again  but like by myself at first way I could   feel of it and then I'll slowly move up to  play with other people cool cool cool all   right well it's been fantastic thank you for  participating in this experiment I think it's   been very easy that's cool valuable hopefully  learn something about whether it's the game or   other broader concepts like teamwork communicating  strategy whatever there's there's a lot that you   can get out of the experience of using your  mind creatively in that kind of environment   so good job guys we'll see you on the flip  and for everybody watching thanks for tuning   in we'll have more D&D with high school  students next semester and 2018 peace out you
