Our intrepid heroes have found themselves in Times Square, New Year's Eve. His shape and form appears floating in the air. This place is filthy. - Fucking Protestant work ethic. - Pillars of flame appear, as well as tornadoes full of refuse. - Wow, well this is terrifying. - This thing turns just to look at Sofia. Sofia, you are dead. No saves necessary. - No! - You have much scratching yet to do. (Emily hisses) - Murderer's Row right here. - Alejandro is hit in the chest, and is gone. - If we were to leave to find the phylactery on the outside, it would be too late. - But does anyone within this spell know it? - There is a way for ones within this spell to know anything. - (gasps) The bagel! (dramatic music) - Welcome back, one and all, to the final episode of The Unsleeping City. As you can see, we come back right where we left off, the eye of the hurricane at the ball drop, New Year's Eve. Here, with our intrepid heroes, say hi, intrepid heroes! - Fuck you, Brennan! - [All] Hi, intrepid heroes! (Emily laughs) - And also, fuck you, Brennan. - Hey, it's fine. I do a lot of work for this game. (all laugh) - You killed my best friend (laughs). - It's a story! - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - He lived to the ripe old age, 90, what... 92? - 94. - 94. - The Juul killed him, he died with popcorn lungs. - You don't even know his age? (laughs) - 94! (laughs) That's right. - He never found his granddaughters, right? - Seems young to me! - Did he ever find his granddaughters? - They're probably around. - What if they're bad... - They're just getting high on Pete's stash. - Getting high on Pete's stash somewhere. - He did tell me to stay away from them. - We are going to start the initiative. Some revelations last time, Nod just told you about the nature of breaking the phylactery, Esther was just saved, the American Dream looks hurt, but not nearly on its last legs. (dramatic music) The beginning of our initiative here. (mimics air whooshing) - Oh my God. - The fire is coming for Santa, actually... - Oh, but he's gotta be flame retardant, he's always going down chimneys! - Yeah! - Does he have fire resistance? - I mean, that would check out. (all laugh) - Nice! - The kind of lawyering that... (all laugh) - That's a lot of lawyer moves. - I'm gonna need a dexterity from Kugrash and his rats. - Okay. All right. Rats got a 10. - Okay. - Kugrash got a 10, or no, Kugrash got a 9. - Okay. - I didn't bless you? No, I didn't bless you. I Blessed those three. - Kugrash and his rats take 15... - Fuck! - 25, take 31 points of fire damage. - I'm out. - No! - What? - Kugrash is down. - Bye! - Kug? Can I pour one out form so high... - And Santa looks injured as well. - For my Kug. - [Zac] So the rats are gone? - [Brennan] The rats are gone. - [Zac] I have rats, I guess I forgot. (Murph laughs) - Down here, were these yours? - [Zac] There were some rats on my head or something. - The rats can't do anything. The rats are down here. - Let's fuckin' face it. Let's fuckin' face it! - I mean, look, it's a free thing to do, you might as well make 'em if you can. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Kugrash, I'm gonna need a death saving throw from you. - 14. - Okay. - Okay. - It's over 10, right? I forget. - Over 10. - Thank you. (Ally laughs) - But if he does some kind of spell, that's... - Santa is actually gonna leave this area here, he flies up, and he flies over here. He's going to look at Kingston and Pete, who are both still down there. He's gonna make an insight check. Which, do either of you seem to have plans or intentions of moving anytime soon? - Yes. - Pete does? You see he lays a finger aside of his nose, and goes... (Ally snorts) - (mimics Santa) You know it! Let's blow some snow! (mimics air whooshing) - And you are picked up in a gust of wintry wind, and you can fly. - Yo! (all laugh) Okay, that's great! That's great. - So you have Fly active on you now. - Great, cool. - Dope. - But that wasn't you doing drugs, right? You're still sober? - No, no, Santa did a bunch of drugs. And you know what... (all laugh) - Incredible. That's going to be Pete. - I pull out a seven day chip. (Emily laughs) Fuck yeah. All right. I fly, beeline up to Sofia Lee. - Yeah! - And I get as close as I can, how far is that, if I use just my movement? - Fly, I believe is a-buh-buh-bah. Speed of 60. So let's see, in a straight line going for Sofia... - You just have to get within 30 feet of her, right? - Yeah, that's it. - Boom. Boom to Sofie. It's like here, ah! And 30 feet, we're gonna call it 30 feet! - All right! - You can just make it there. (mimics air whooshing) Surrounded by snow and magic, you see that... - My mindlink with Sofia as I'm taking off. - Hey. - I say, Sofie? Both the Vox Populi and the Vox Phantasma are bestowing on you our blessing and it's all on you, here you have haste. (Emily laughs and claps) - I cast haste on Sofie. - Yeah, double movement, 2AC extra action, you now have, yeah. - I think that Ricky has that as well, so you can share that card. Also, (mimics rumbling) you guys see this incredible, again dream color, purple, pink, rose, and then the grimy gold of the waking world, thwoom! Yin and yang appear spectrally in front of Sofia. Whoom, the Order of the Concrete Fist, Monastery of the Midnight Sun... (Emily imitates martial arts breathing) The chosen one. - Chosen by myself, thank you! (Ally laughs) - Sofia, I'll trade you for your old chosen one card. (Emily gasps) - What? - Go ahead and read that out loud, if you'd be so kind. - Okay. You replenish a ki point each time you are dealt damage. If the Vox Phantasma and the Vox Populi have either cast a spell on you in the last round, including having an active concentration, you gain a bonus to AC equal to the amount of ki you have left. That's another five! - Great! - Whoom! (dramatic music) - What are you up to, what's your AC? - My AC is now 26! - With the plus 2 from haste? - Yeah! - Fuck. - Jeez. - 26 is wild. - Yeah! Come at me! - Unbreakable! (all laugh) - Incredible. Pete, that's your turn. - Phantasma, Populi, I'm gonna do you proud. - Can I do just a Wild Arcana check to see... - Oh, give me a Wild Magic roll actually. - Oh yeah. (sings carnival music) 13. - Okay. - To see if I can tap into the dream world and have someone convey to me what we need to know to stop this spell. - Yeah, give me an Arcana check. - Or the rest of the rune. 18 plus 5 is... - Cool. - 23. - It's what Nod said. - (laughs) Interesting. - But I appreciate the hustle. (Ally laughs) - My man's out of risers! - Nobody else fly! Yeah, La Gran Gata is actually all the way up here with, I'm gonna give her some tacky. Everybody's in the fuckin' sky! La Gran Gata's actually here giving Ricky that extra movement. (meows) (laughs) (meows) - Smiling right at his fuckin' head. Great. Then we're gonna have ourselves a little... Ope! - Oh! - Just 'cause it gives him disadvantage... - They fall so slowly, it's kinda nice, actually. - Yeah! - Bye, Santa. - He's flying. He's okay. ♪ Up and down. ♪ ♪ Turning on a carousel of time. ♪ ♪ We can't return, ♪ ♪ we can only look behind from where we came. ♪ - [Ally] Kingston, are you okay? - Kingston dissociates fully. (all laugh) - Yeah, Kingston is just quietly singing Joni Mitchell to himself, alone. As he stares... - Oh my God, of course Kingston loves Joni Mitchell. - Of course, dude. - Let's lower them a little bit. - I'm sorry, what did La Gran Gata do? - Gave you that extra move action per turn. - Gotcha. And, I mean, did he just fly up next to me? (laughs) - Isn't he a mist around you? - I think he's imbued... - Okay, gotcha, gotcha. - Inside of you. - He's within you. - Cool. There's a lot of you, you're all around. You're all around there. (Ally laughs) We're gonna keep moving on. And then this one actually is gonna go as well. ( grinding stone rotates) Yeah, we did it. - My man! - You guys got that wall now. - Yep. And Rowan's over there. Cool. That is, I'm gonna need, actually, Esther and Kingston, you're next to Willy, and you got the wall in between you, you're fine. - Great. - Kugrash, I'm gonna need, I know you're unconscious, actually, I think you just automatically fail, you move 10 spaces. But you hit the wall. (honks) - Oh! - Thank you, Esther. - Wow. - I'm gonna need a dex save for these last rats over there. - 4. - (mimics rats) No! (Emily laughs) (rats squealing) We love you! - That's going to be the American Dream. I am going to start rolling some attacks. (suspenseful music) Let's see here. - Oh, if he's doing a spell... - He is not doing a spell. He is gonna take a swing at Sondheim. - Does, you're within five feet of him, right? - I'm grappling him. - Sentinel. - So you're grappling, yep. - So, can I hit him? - Oh, Sentinel. - Oh, 'cause he's making an attack on someone within five feet of you? - Yeah, yeah. - Yes, you can. You can hit him. - Yeah! - All right. - You can still Smite on this attack too... - Yeah. 17. - You're blessed... - 18. - Oh! - 17 plus 8? - No, no, plus 1, 18. - Gotcha. You, whoo, swing, miss. (suspenseful music) You see he turns around, lays out a fist and, whoo, hurls Sondheim into the, whoo, tornado. - Jesus Christ! - You see Stephen Sondheim flies into the tornado, looking out at you and saying, "Remember, the show must go on!" (mimics blasts) - And disappears. - No! (all laugh) - He'll live on in his work! - I think he's still alive. I believe in him. He's too powerful. - I believe in you, Sondheim! And Santa I guess, too! - You may not believe in Santa for much longer. - Oh shit. - He's gonna kill Santa? You're worse than Philadelphia. - The city or the movie? - The city, remember, they threw batteries at Santa - Oh yeah, that's right. Wow. - When was that? - It's a 90's reference, y'all. - Hell yeah. - Kugrash is all... - Fucking Eagles. - I was born in 2004, that doesn't make any sense to me. - You see that Santa as well is turned around. The American Dream looks at him, hits him in the chest with those same eye beams that he hit Sofia with. And Santa... - Jesus Christ. - Goes, (mimics blast) toys fly out of his bag. And you see he says, "Someone must remember Christmas!" (mimics blast) - I'll keep Christmas in my heart forever! - I should have been on the good list! (all laugh) I've made a lot of progress! - As you say that, the Fly spell disappears and you begin to fall.

(all laugh) - He was kind of hovering over this, right? - He was, Pete was, yeah, he was over this one I think. - Then I was more, I was back where my girl Em was gonna catch me. - Yeah. - Okay. That's his round. - Man. All of my spells have been so useless in this thing. - It's not true, you saved my life. - That's right, I did save your life. (Emily laughs) - You see Sondheim disappears, Santa Claus disappears. (imitates magical blasts) I am going to ask that, (soft music) You see, as these two huge magical hits happen, (mimics blasts) Pete begins to fall (mimics air whooshing). The American Dream injured but having destroyed many of your allies, looks at you, still with this unmoving, expressionless face, I am going to need all of you guys except for... - I'm out already. - Kugrash is out. I'm actually going to need everybody but Zac to please adjourn to the green room. (suspenseful music) - What the hell is... - What the fuck? - I feel like I'm in trouble. (laughs) (imitates reverbaration) - The storm continues. Ricky. You hear the voice of the dream in your mind. It looks to you, and you see its face flickers for a moment, and you almost see your father's face as it shifts and changes, which, after it left the door, doesn't seem like it should be able to do anymore. You see it looks at you and says, (soft music) "You are strong, I recognize the dream in you. "If you lay down your axe, "and let me enter the world, "I can give you everything you've ever wanted." And you see visions of a living and not in danger Esther, your parents welcoming grandchildren into the world, you see all of the things that could happen with a happy and safe life. All of the riches and comfort that your parents worked so hard, came to this country to get for you would be yours. You don't have to fight your friends. You don't have to do anything you don't want to. I just want to ask if you will lay down your weapon and let me pass. I can make all of these dreams come true. You see Esther holding a child, you with a whole home gym. (Zac laughs) - You're talking fly machine? Free bench? - Free bench, incline, full rack of weights. A full rack of weights. (soft music) (Zac laughs) - But that's just my dream, right? It's not anyone else's dream. - The angel looks at you, uncomprehendingly. - But everyone else should be able to, there should be the potential for everyone to have a dream. - Will you submit and lay down your weapon? - No. (mimics air whooshing) - Zac, can you send Emily in here? - Okay. - And don't tell anyone what you heard! - Sure, yeah! - [Ally] I think we're all going one by one, I guess? - [Kingston] Are we going one by one? - [Ally] Are we all getting told that we... - [Kingston] I'm going to, Oh, man, this is wild. - Okay. (Emily laughs) - As you soar through the air, (mimics air whooshing) time suspends. The angel's face moves to regard you, coolly. - It flickers for a moment, and you see Dale's face. It looks at you and says, "All I want is to be real, "which is the wish of any dream. "I understand that you are trying to stop me. "I make you this offer." (mimics air whooshing) And it shows Dale, standing, alive in New York. If you would allow me to pass, I can bring him back. You do not have to strike your friends. You do not have to do anything at all to harm anyone you care about. I just ask that you let me pass. And this life that you have wanted, (mimics air whooshing) And you see pure love, your family, you and Dale in big sweaters looking at deer in the backyard, Dale going, "(gasps) Look, it's a baby one!" (Emily laughs) - Oh, see, the mistake you made was, (clears throat) sending me to Heaven already, so I literally just got back from fucking him, so no, I'm still gonna kill you. (mimics air whooshing) - Please don't tell any of the other players what just happened here, and if you'd be so kind as to send Murph in. (Emily laughs) Hell yeah. (mimics air whooshing) The tornado spins. You are unconscious, covered in burns, rat fur everywhere. You've used this power of the crown, you just Mindlinked with Pete to learn this crazy thing about the fuckin' bagel. And suddenly you, through the haze of blood in your eyes, look up and see the angel looking directly down at you, and its face flickers for a second, and you see David. The angel looks at you and says, "All I want is to pass. "I wish you no harm. "It is every dream's desire to be real, "to be whole, to exist. "If you let me pass, I can offer you this." (mimics air whooshing) You see an image of what you would look like as a man in your 50s or 60s, healthy, with clothes, sleeping in a bed. You see a healthy David. You see a Wally that is taken care of. They are all wealthy. Wally has a wife, kids. A good life for the family that you abandoned. (tender music) You do not have to harm your friends. All that you have to do is stand aside. I just wish to exist. (tender music) - Am I conscious right now? - You're conscious enough to understand the offer being made to you. (tender music) - I say... - I used to be a lot like you. You're a rat. (imitates rat chewing) - And you see you change its face into a rat's face for a moment. (gasps) I am not a rat. (breaths heavily) I am not a rat. - I can't have what you're offering me, and that's my fault. But American Dreams change. And then I eat the bagel. (all laugh) - Great, if you could please go send Siobhan in here. - I'm here. (imitates wind whooshing) - The wind whips around, you're on this floating platform. You see the angel turn to look down at you. (mimics air whooshing) Its face turns into the face of Ewan, the Morse dancer you followed across the ocean on that tall ship all those ages ago. Rowan, I do not wish you or your friends harm. All that I desire is to cross the doorway and to be real. As real as you or anyone else. I understand you wish to stop me. So I would offer you this. (mimics air whooshing) Every choice you could ever want. Every option, all the magical power in the world. Galas and banquets and shows and parties and great conversation 'til the end of time, 'til the stars blink out of the sky. And a place for you forever. Not having to do the ritual, not fearing that someone might come take your gifts away from you. The dream looks at you and says, "You do not have to betray your friends. "All that I ask is you stand aside and let me enter." - My love. For you are my love. My one true love. You don't need to enter, you're already there. And you don't need to be real because you already are real. - Go ahead actually and roll, grab 2d10 out of your box and roll them please. - A 5 and an 8, 13. Lucky number 13. - 13 original colonies. You say that, and watch the dream fully diminish in size. Your first piece of conversation with the American Dream where you spoke to it, and tried to speak to it as it and say, "I know you," you watch a good portion of the fight go out of it, as it cannot help but recognize the truth of what you've said. Please don't tell anyone what this interaction was and go send Lou in here. - Thank you. - What do you want from me? (laughs) You want me to sit here? - Yep. (mimics air whooshing) The storm swirls, the dream looks at you. (imitates air whooshing) You see that its face changes. You see people from your neighborhood, you see people you have known, people that have made great sacrifices. For a moment, you see your father, your mother, Liz, Cosmo, you see Alejandro's face appear. It looks at you and goes, "I do not wish you nor your companions harm. "You have barred my entry, "and all I have ever wished is to be real. "Which is a state of being that you "and all of your friends have always had the blessing of. "I just wish to be real. "I understand you do not wish this. "So I would make you this offer." (mimics air whooshing) It shows you a vision of you, in your apartment, with your happy parents, sitting on the stoop with Liz, and a young boy that has her eyes, your features, your arm around him. On his shoulder, he's got a melting fudgesicle in his hand. You hear kids playing in the fire hydrant down the street. He looks up and is talking to you about something funny at school. The dream looks at you and says, "I can offer you this. "It needn't be yours. "You do not need to betray your friends, "you do not need to strike them, "you do not even need to help me. "All I ask is that you stand aside and let me pass. "And I can make this dream come true." - But at what cost? - The cost of you standing to one side and letting me pass. I will make it real for you, Kingston. After all these years. (tender music) - That's mighty kind of you, American Dream. But you have to understand that I'm 55. I've lived a long life. I've made my peace. And I will stop you. (mimics air whooshing) - Lou, thank you so much, you can step out. Ally, you want to step in? So Pete heard all of that. As you are falling through the air, the dream turns to you, you, through your dream sorcery, heard all those interactions. And you see it says, "Vox Phantasma." - Yeah. - You are the voice of my realm. - Yeah. - All I ask is to be real. To be who I know I am. You can understand that. All I ask is for your help. - Can I roll arcana to see this as it truly is? - Sure. - Nat 20. - You've gotta be kidding me. - Nat fuckin' nat 20. I want to see its true form. - Its true form is not this. - What is it? That's fuck yeah. - It's fucking crazy (laughs). - Huge story rolls! (laughs) - I can't believe that, that's literally the final episode. - What are you, show yourself to me. - Let's bring everybody back in here. (Ally laughs) That is, I don't understand how to explain that. I don't understand. - Oh Oh, oh! (laughs) - I don't understand how to explain that. (Ally laughs) I don't understand, I mean, let me see, let me take a picture, right? - Absolutely! - There are forces at work in this game that I don't begin to understand. Is this real? Is magic real? Ally rolled at nat 20 on their arcana check to see the real form of the American Dream. - It was being so nice and I said, "Can I roll an Arcana to see it as it really is," and he was like, "Sure give me a roll," and it was a nat 20. - Specifically your roll. - I was just saying! - Ally has the most poetic rolls out of anyone. - All of you, whoom, watch this flickering thing, and see Pete falling, reach out, and the pure power of the realm of dreams flows through you. You connect directly to this thing's heart. (loud heartbeat) The ephemeral axiom, the ability for a dream to change and remain changing is not a flaw of the realm of dreams. Dreams changing with the minds of their dreamers is the most beautiful aspect of dreams. When you look to see the true form of this, what you see is that a dream this important and this large needs to be able to change. And its true form is every and any form that people want for it. And if it is pushed back through the Golden Door, into the realm where it can have any form that people give to it, that is where it will have its true form. So the answer to your nat 20 is that the only good form for a dream is formless. - In Nod. - In Nod. - Is it evil? It feels fucking evil. - What you see is that this, again with that nat 20, this image of it is created by Robert pulling it here. - Yeah. - This form of, and you see it, you can see it has the button up shirt and the slacks, and is like, "I need an SUV, and two and a half children." (Ally laughs) - This is Robert's dream, for sure, specifically. - It seems like Robert's dream, a young, rich, handsome, all-American thing that he has summoned through the Golden Door in New York City to form a realm here for his own. You think that if this moves out of the storm you're all fighting in, this might be Robert's body reforming. And that this dream might fully be under his control. - See, did you say that if we get it back to Nod, there's a chance that we'll... - Yeah, you don't think this thing is evil, it's just, it's a dream, so its mind is whatever people decide its mind is. It is neutral, it is whatever people wanna make it. What you do on that 20 is, around the storm you hear, (gasps) (evil laugh) (gravelly voice) Guess the cat's out of the bag, kid. You have any idea how much money I can make when the thing at the center of everybody's heart is mine? What if we got rid of the middle man, and we made a realm where I was in charge of what people most wanted to be. (mimics thunder blast) With that knowledge, you know that this needs to be put back into the door, you don't know if there's a way, that doesn't, the door's not right here, it's way behind it. But you know that this thing cannot be allowed to pass. You know that it cannot be allowed to remain in this incarnation. There's a possible way of destroying this incarnation that would, if you were able to destroy this corporeal form for it, you would probably be able to seal it back behind the door with that nat 20. - Cool. I have a Cone of Cold spell that turns something, if I kill it with the spell, it turns it into a statue. - I have the Metro Card that can plane shift. I don't know if that's of any... - That's great. - That's going to be, so all of that happens. You guys on the platform see Kugrash weakly making those death saves, pull the bagel out of his bag, and that's gonna be Willy's turn. Willy turns to you, Kingston, looking around. All you have, that momentary, all that occurs in a flash, just a moment. What, Willy turns to you with a look of like, what, is there anything you want me to do? - Aw, I mean, we gotta get Kug, Kug needs to get up. - Cool. You see that he goes, he grabs... - Or can I also, can he move us away from the storm? - He grabs actually Esther and Kug, five, ten, fifteen, twenty, that's his movement. Yeah, he's actually gonna get all the way over here with Kug, who's prone, and Esther. Cool. Kingston, you're still there. Rowan, that's you. - (sighs) Okay. I would like to see if I can once again climb within 60 feet. - Hell yeah. That's gonna go down to a DC15, 'cause you're part of the way there, already. - Great. - Give me that acrobatics. - Okay, I pass. - Cool. - 18. (mimics thudding steps) - You scale your way up the rest of the way. You are within 60 feet. - (sighs) Here is what I would like to do. I would like to cast Phantasmal Force. - Okay. - Which is an intelligence saving throw. - Intelligence saving throw, cool. - Yeah. - He fails. - Great. So I can create any sound, image, temperature. - And while the target is affected by the spell, the target treats the phantasm as if it were real. - Wild. - So I would like to show the American Dream everything that it could possibly be. (imitates magical whooshing) - Broadway lights, ba-dah, ba-dah! Have we got the show for you! Bow, whoom! Images of all the various places across the entire country, all of the people that have ever come to New York and moved anywhere else in the country, as the gateway to this land. (imitates air whooshing) It looks insane as it's, you see it's twitching, and you've tapped into that ephemeral axiom, and you see its body is morphing and changing as it tries to stop it. - And I say, - Look at what you could be! Why would you limit yourself when you can be all of this? - Amazing, go ahead and roll damage. - It actually doesn't... - Oh, it doesn't do damage. - I mean, it's 1d6 psychic damage if it's a real thing. - Oh, gotcha, okay. - But it doesn't feel like it's, it's not a person doing damage. - Yeah, absolutely. - I just need it to know. - Yes. I'm gonna need another dexterity save from Sofia. - Okay. - You have advantage on that. - Yeah, I have advantage. Well, I think I also already passed it. The other one was 22. - 22, that's correct. - Yeah. - 22 hits, or sorry, 22 passes. You can take your attacks as you begin to fall. - Oh no, I'm falling back into Em. Remember, Em was positioned to... - Oh yeah, cool. Yep, yep, yep. So... - I'm falling back into Em and then I want her to just throw me back. - Rad. Hold on one second. Let's get a little bit of... - Doing a trust fall. I trust you, my big statue friend! - And you want, on her turn, you want her to throw you back? - Oh? Her turn is... - She could just spin you around. - She moved and... - But couldn't I just fall back into, like, use my movement to fall back into her and then kick... - Oh, and then actually, yeah, you could jump, you could easily make that jump. - Oh wait, before she does this, can I also have given Sofia Bardic Inspiration? - Yes, absolutely. - Great. - Cool, in that case, I'm gonna say that Em actually readied an action, and is gonna go ahead, she heals you for 16 hit points. - Okay. - And flings you back up there, and you spring up with the rest of your movement. - Okay. I'm, I've got haste. So first off, I'm going to hex this guy. And the ability I want him to have disadvantage on is constitution. - Okay. - So he's hexed, and then I'm just gonna start attacking. - Fuck yeah, go for it. - Does a 21 does hit, or 22. - 22 hits. - Okay, so I'm gonna hit him with my, also one of these is necrotic, one of these is radiant. I'm doing the necrotic damage because of the hex. - He's actually immune to necrotic. But, so go ahead and roll the radiant. - So I won't even do that, okay. (dramatic music) There's my d8. Does someone have my d8, no I have my d8. Okay, so that is 15. And I'm gonna Stunning Strike him. That's a constitution save, which he should have disadvantage on now. - Ooh baby! Buh-buh-buh. He passes. - Passes, okay. Okay, I'll go after him again. Does a, 18 does not hit. Oh, but I have Bardic Inspiration! - Yes! - And 24 does hit! - Yep! - Hit him again for (clears throat) another, let's see, 7 plus 5, 12, another 12 gonna stun him again. - He's rolling with disadvantage. Boom, boom boom boom! Crack! And in the phantasmagoria around him, a bunch of teeth fly out of his head, and his head goes on a swivel. - Is he stunned? - He is stunned. - Yes! Does that mean that I get advantage when I attack on him now? - It does mean that, yes. - So then my third attack is I got a, 'cause I have haste. - That's a nat 1. So nevermind, that's not gonna hit. But I still... - You have advantage, right? - Oh yeah, I have an advantage! That's gonna hit! - Yes! - Hell yeah. - Fuck yeah. - And I'm gonna do another 10, and then I'm gonna hit with my very final one, with my little backhand. And that's also gonna hit! For another 11 damage. - For another 11 damage, Jesus Christ. (Emily imitates blows) Whoom. He is stunned, he can no longer act on his turn. - I want to get in his face and be like, "I also still have a fuckin' reaction waiting for you." (all laugh) - At the end of your turn, you're gonna get to use it, because though he is stunned, he is gonna keep using his Legendary Actions, he's gonna miss his next turn. I'm gonna need from you, a dexterity saving throw. - Okay. With advantage on that. Is a 25. - 25, you take no damage. (imitates air whooshing) - Yes! (Emily laughs) - He explodes in fire. Ricky, you do... Ricky, I'm gonna need a dex save from you as well, actually 'cause you're still up there. - Advantage on this. - But this counts as him doing a spell? - Yes it does. - Okay, then I'm gonna attack him one more time. - Cool. - I got a 16. - You got a 16? 21, 25, 30. You take 34 points of damage. - I'm down. Negative 4. (Emily gasps) - I hit him again for another 7. Can I use that... - Can I use a luck point? - To reroll? You're fine, you have your final luck point, yes you can. - Yes! - Rolling for your dex save? - Wait, you have advantage on dex saves, by the way! - I got it. - You got it? - I got 17 plus 5 plus 4. - You take half that. Does that still put you under? - No. - Okay. - I have... - Hoo! - I have, so it's 34, I take, what is that. - 16? - 17? - 17? - You get 7 more damage from him. (suspenseful music) - Yes, I did. Em is going to fly up and heal Ricky. She heals you for 15 hit points. - Okay. - Oh, also he has disadvantage on saving throws to maintain concentration, when I was hitting, each time I hit him. - Let me roll for that then, actually. - Yeah, so... Each time I hit him he has it. - Each time you do it? Okay. He would have to roll a 1 to miss. So he succeeds, he keeps concentration on the spell. Em flies up and heals. The wind is gonna go. I'm going to need, it flies all the way up to hit you guys up here. I'm gonna need saves from Sofia and Ricky up there. - Are these dex? - These are dex, yep. Or sorry, no no no. These are strength. - Strength, okay. - Sofia get a plus 4 from being close to Ricky? - Yeah. For sure. - Oh sweet! - I got a 31. - (laughs) Jesus Christ. - I got a 24. - Cool. - Oh, I'm sorry, 23. - Cool. Neither of you are knocked out of the sky, which is good news. You do take 8 points of bludgeoning damage each. - How are you, Ricky? - I'm at 20. - Oh, nice. - La Gran Gata leaps from you, Ricky, over to, and actually, you're about to fall. - I'm still grappling him. - Oh you're still grappling him, that's right! So La Gran Gata jumps over to Sofia, who is about... - Come here! - Who is about to fall and (imitates air whooshing) sparkles around you. - When a cat's about to jump. - Yeah. (Emily laughs) Does its shoulder thing. - They wiggle their little butt. - Leaps to you. - By the way, Pete. He has disadvantage on con saves. - Fuck yeah. - So La Gran Gata swirls around you. You do still feel yourself falling, but you have an extra move action, which is what the cat's doing. Then that's gonna be Ricky, I'm gonna need a dex save at the beginning of your turn. - The beginning, okay. Advantage on dex. 23? - 23 passes. You still take half damage. You take 14 points of damage. - Okay. (mimics air whooshing) - You're still up? - It's still your turn. - Okay. Commune with my axe. I feel like it's just getting more and more dangerous, so I am going to, I guess I'll swing first, and see if I hit. (suspenseful music) It's a, yeah, that hits. That's my first attack. That's a 19 plus 3. 17, like another 30. And then, I'm hasted so I'll do that last attack. That's another 19 plus three, so all three attacks hit. My first attack, I'll use Divine Smite. - Okay. - Which, you know, my third level Divine Smite. Which would be... How many is that? 3d8 plus 8. - Should be 4d8. - 4d8 plus 8? - Yep. - Can I have some d8s? - It'll be 5, right? - 2d8, 3d8, 4d8, and then 5d8 from your axe. So 5d8 plus 8. - Okay. - Ooh hoo! - So that's 10. 16, 19, plus 7, 26 plus 8. That's the Divine Smite. - 34. - 34. - Cool. - And then I do just regular, that was 38? - Yes. Again, the American Dream is looking bad. But it's still there. - Okay, then I'll just, this is my regular damage, which is just 1d8. So 5 plus 8, so I add that. - Okay. - And then one more. So 7 plus 8. It's 15. - 15 does not hit. - Or 15 damage. - 15 damage? - All three hits hit, they're all... - Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Cool. - Then I guess I'm gonna use my ability. - So on the last attack, you're gonna use your ability? - Yes. - Right? So that last one did 15, right? - Yes. And I look at Kingston, You got me if you got me. (laughs) And I need a bunch of d10s from people. - What? - Yeah. - What? - How many? - You got me if you got me? Oh God. - I need... Five. - You got me if you got me? - You need more? - Do you need more? - One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Is that ten? Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. All right. - Yeah, get this. - Get those 10s! - So crunchy. - Count the 10s. - Okay, so one... - My kids are doing all right, that's a 7. - There's a 9 at most. - That's 20. 25. 30. 35. 39. 48. 48, what's it called? - Radiant damage? - Radiant damage. - You see that Ricky takes the questing blade back, you hear the voices of past heroes go, you got it, kid. It's the sacrifice. Go ahead and read that power for everybody, if you'd be so kind. - Okay. You can add 10d10 radiant damage to a single attack, but you take the entire attack's worth of damage on yourself, and you need to make a dc15 con save or die (laughs). - What? - You see Ricky, Sofia. Bah, bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah! Bah-bah-bah! And Ricky, holding on to the thing's leg, basically while it's being distracted by the light and show, and you're just bodying and knocking teeth out and stunning this guy. Bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah! Boom! Ricky leans back and, (imitates air whooshing) you see a faint shimmer of wings extend behind Ricky. Hold on one sec. (all laugh) - Oh my God! - What? - You angel! - Boom! And you cleave into the chest. Pow! Of the American Dream. This form vanishes. (mimics air whooshing) And the corporeal form is utterly destroyed. You see that in its place, just pillar of raw fire, roiling dream energy appears in its place. That is Ricky's turn, I'm gonna need that, I assume you're at zero. - Yes. - I'm gonna need that constitution, let's actually get the Box of Doom out real quick. - Constitution, add your Bless, my dude! - Oh yeah. - Add that Bless. - So constitution's 2 plus 4, so I get 6 added to whatever I roll. Can I roll... - And it's a 15? - Yeah. - Cool. So let's go ahead and make that roll. So you're trying to, it's dc15. So what are you, so you need to, what do you add to con? - I have 2 plus my aura gives me 4. - So you're adding 6 to this roll. So you need a 9 or higher, and then the Bless is gonna get added to that as well. - You got this. (suspenseful music) - 5 plus 6 is 11. - Oh! - Can I, take me instead! I've lived so many lives, don't take his! - Wait, didn't that work, though? 11 because then you add all of your stuff. - The 11 was the total. - I got him, I got him. - That's going to be a spin round now. (sad music) - Do you want to take all of 'em? Just pass 'em around. (murmur) - Cool. We can we'll roll to see which direction you're falling in. You were here, Zac, give me a d8 roll to see which way you're falling. One's gonna be here, and then going clockwise, that'll be the directions. - Three. - One, two, three. So you're actually falling to the right. - Towards me? - Yes, towards you. But as the spin occurs... So let's go ahead and move this though real quick. (imitates wind whistling) - Fuckin' Don Confetti ass bitch. Even just seeing him. - Who summoned him again? I like that move. - I called... - Did you summon, you fuckin' hated... - I mean he's gotta know that he is fuckin' in trouble with the rest of fairy. - Sofia's still up here. - I'm gonna fuck up his shit. - Yeah. - He is no longer a made fairy. - No he's not. - And Ricky indeed is falling in this direction off towards the side. Cool. On Ricky's turn he will fall into the storm. - How do we get Kingston to Ricky? - I think I can get Ricky to Kingston. - Oh! - Kingston. That's gonna be you. - Great. Do you, are you just falling? - Mm-hmm. - Do you have a way to stop yourself? - Mm-mm. - Great, I'm gonna run, ready in action to catch Pete and then as a bonus action, cast Healing Word on my man... - Kugrash. - Kugrash, yes. - Cool, you run... - And I'll cast that as a second level spell. - You run to grab Pete, cast it as a second level spell. - It's just two, yeah, 2d4. It's 2, 5 plus, plus 5. 10. - 10 hit points are healed to you. - Sweet. - You jump up. Yeah, Kingston, you're, yeah, you have your readied action to catch Pete. Esther holds on to her force fields that she's doing, and she actually takes a full move action and begins to sprint and create a bridge of platforms, kind of higgledy-piggledy, that's not 100 percent chance that, you see she's wrecked, but there's not 100 percent chance that Ricky will land on one of them. - Mm-hmm. - Go ahead and roll that d4. - For... - Nod. - Oh right. 1. - Everyone regains a first level spell slot. Nod flies over to this platform here, going to where Pete is. - Nod, send me back up! (laughs) - This moves to Kingston, I'm gonna need a dexterity saving throw, Kingston. - Oh no. - Shit. - Big time failure. - Okay. 8, 18, 26, 31 points of damage. - Fuck, I'm at 2. - Okay, okay! - It's okay. - Not down! - Oh my God! - This fucking game! - Kugrash is back up, Kugrash has heals. - Dispel Magic. - Kugrash. You awaken and, (chomps) eat the Bagel of All Things. - The whole thing? - The whole thing. Little thing that happened in Murph's interlude. You have one round, as you feel your consciousness begin to expand. You guys see the crown start to float off of Kugrash's head, and his fur stand on end, and you begin to see images of a rat and an eagle and a bear and a dog and a spider, and a man. You see brief images of an old man with a lot of regrets, and some grit and heart as well. Kugrash, you're beginning to disappear, but you do have the round. - Can I do anything special or just... - You can, I'll allow you to do it, if you want to take combat actions, you can, and then at the end of the round, we'll resolve eating the Bagel of All Things. - Got it, cool. Then I'm going to... - You have a Dispel Magic. - Yeah, should I do Dispel Magic or should I heal Kingston? - Heal Kingston! - Yeah, yeah. - Heal Kingston? Cool. I'm gonna heal Kingston. - Cool. - I'll do fifth level Cure Wounds, 'cause this is the last one, bud. - What? I mean, you're glowing and you're turning into a man again. But what? - Well, I think I got into some bad trash, I don't think I can come back from this one. Do me a favor. - Okay. - My son is a vampire. - Oh! - If you could make him not a vampire. - I'll do my best. - That would be wonderful. - I think I, hopefully I can do something for that. - 11, 15, 22. 32. - Whoo! And is the unicorn aura still there or no? - Unicorn goes down when I go down. - Gotcha. - Can that fifth level Cure Wounds just be a very intense handshake? - Yes! A very intense handshake between the two of you. - You're not grossed out? - Not anymore. You're also a human being now. So this feels right. - For the brief moment you are a human being, you shake Kingston's hand. And Kugrash fades and spirals in magical rings and circles, out into the storm. Kugrash, you become aware, first of all, of the things here, as your consciousness begins to expand into the universe, eating the most powerful bagel of all time. As you vanish, you become aware first, with perfect knowledge of all the things which are occurring here, which include Robert's spirit in the storm going, "What the, th' fuck, what the fuck is going on?" - I would like to bite him. - Gah! Aah, you fucking rat! You fuckin' rat bastard! - You're the rat! - You're a human biting another human. - I'm not a rat. (Emily laughs) - You also become aware, you, because of Pete's clue, you become aware of the edges of the phylactery. You can read the rest of Robert's phylactery. You know the whole incantation. - (whispers) Yeah, yeah. - And your consciousness expands, you have it in your head, all you need to do is say it, and you also are aware of one other little thing, which is in, I assume either, I assume Pete is carrying it. There's a little list in Pete's bag. - I'm on the naughty list. - And you see that your name vanishes from the naughty list. And Bruce Kugrich appears on the nice list. With a little parenthetical, Kugrash. - It's too bad Santa's dead! (all laugh) - But all we see is just Kugrash disappears? - I can kind of talk to you guys here, right? - Yeah... - 'Cause I can tell them? - You guys hear in the storm Robert's voice, and you hear Kugrash going, fuck you, fuck you! - Kug, where are you going? - I'm just in, I'm in the mist! I'm in the dream thing kind of. I know how to... - But you're gonna come back and be around, we're still gonna hang out, right? 'Cause I have a small pool of friends, and you're one of 'em! - I need you to hang out with Wally, actually! And I need you to save Ricky so he can be his workout buddy. - Aww, okay! Okay! - Pete, it's gonna be you. - How far away am I from the... - On your turn you fall the rest of the distance. - Oh. - You're gonna take some but not much falling damage. You take 10 points of falling damage. - Halved? - Halved, yep. - As Pete lands, hopefully close to my arms... - In your arms, yeah, that's how... - In my arms. Can I slip the MTA Metro Card to Nod that they gave me? - Mm-hmm. - And say, just in case. (laughs) - Great. - You slip the MTA, you have Pete in your hands. Magic swirling around everywhere. And Pete, because you were caught, you're back up on your feet right away. Another spin. (imitates rumbling) I know you guys are all gonna move in a second. This is here. So I need Pete and Kingston to make those saves. - A nat 20. - Nice! - Is that nat 20... - You're holding Pete. On a nat 20, you're holding Pete. - Fuck yeah, thank you, 'cause I definitely failed. - Hey, you know. I gotta get my foot, I gotta get my balance together, clearly. - All I feel is your hand go into my jacket pocket, giving me the Metro Card, but I'm like, hmm. What's up? - Esther makes her save. You see the American Dream is, Ricky's axe blow has destroyed it. Make another dexterity saving throw for me. It is now without intelligence, and now is just like, roiling and burning and chaos and just, (imitates rumbling) - Oh, I didn't get to take an action or anything. But was that my action, falling and being caught? - Oh sorry! I fucked up. Let's take your action. - I was gonna cast Cone of Cold on this fire being. - Ooh fuck! What's the range on Cone of Cold? - 60 foot cone. - 60 foot cone? I don't know if you'll be able to reach the flame from there. So you're gonna have to... - No this cone, I think, right? - Oh no. I could try to run... - Oh yeah, you can run! - Could you have done it before you fe-, I'm dead. - Yeah, if you want, do you wanna run and get within range? - Yeah, please. - Cool. Buh-buh-buh-buh. You get here. 60. - (laughs) I'm sorry. - Oh my God. - 60 is, that is unfortunately not within a range of 60. - If I run and jump onto the platform in front of me? - Yeah actually, if you want to make an athletics check and Willy is right there, he'll give you advantage on that. - Okay. Come on! And I'm Blessed. Eww. 12, 13. - Are you remembering that you're now jacked as hell and adding an extra... - Oh right! No, no, sorry! Yeah, 12... - Plus 5, right? - Plus 5. - Yeah, 17. - Willy hoists into the air your jacked, chrome body rise into the sky... - Fuck yeah. - You are just within range. You will hit Sofia too. - I will use a sorcery point... - Careful Spell, dope! - Oh, okay. I was going to be like, eh fuck me up. - My final sorcery point (laughs), - Hell yeah! - Okay. It's a con saving throw, which he now has disadvantage on... - 'Cause he's hexed. - Yeah. - And I need everyone's d8s please, or I just need 8d8. - If he fails... - Oh, then he takes half damage. - Oh, okay, cool. - Thank you. I need four more. Two, I need two more. Whoa! One more, please. Thank you! Come on, with disadvantage! - Do you, he doesn't... - Oh, you want to see roll before you see... - Yeah, let's see it. - Nice! - I got a couple of good things, okay that's 10, 15, 20, 34 plus 8. - 42? - 42. - 42, (imitates blast) as the Vox Phantasma, you freeze the flame, and there is just a solid chunk of ice. You've arrested the chaos, frozen fire rests in the sky, standing in front of you. You are using all of your powers of the Vox Phantasma, holding it into this single form, getting it to the point where it is weak, and you see the Golden Door behind it glowing. (imitates humming) That's gonna be Willy. Willy turns to you, Kingston, and sort of gives you a look like, anything you need me to do? - Okay, I mean, there's the, I mean, you're going to puppet Ricky somewhere? Is that your hope? - I have several options. - Okay. I mean, if not, there's a crazier plan where Ricky throws me, or Willy throws me into the sky and I attempt to catch. - You should do that now and just put the frozen thing back through the door. Just make a... - Can Willy throw me against the ice as to push it through the Golden Door? - Yes, absolutely! Cool. He is, I'm gonna make a check for him. I'm gonna say, he has a plus 8 to strength. I'm gonna say this is a dc25. He's gotta roll 17 or higher. - So much has been happening! - On a 17 or higher, Willy's gonna get you where you need to go. - This is insane. - 6, he does not get you where you need to be. - Maybe this is the time to ask the city for help? - Yeah. Do you, yeah, I'll use, can I ask for Divine Intervention on that roll? - Yes, well, so Divine Intervention is a 10 percent chance of happening. - Yeah. - That's a 19 or a 20 on a d20. I will ask you to roll for the chance of Divine Intervention. I've got the Box of Doom going right here. - Why not, dude? You only live once. Unless you're Misty Moore. - 8. - Oh! - So close to a 20. - It was so close to a 20! - It's such a beautiful way. - I know, if that was Ally, it would have been a 19. (all laugh) - Yeah. - Your rolls are beautiful. - Only if it was a story move though, not a combat move. - Willy hurls you up, you land on one of the airborne platforms. - Okay. - Like over here near Rowan. But you are closer in range to this flame. - Great. - And you have not used your, or your action is the, yeah. - Well, it wasn't even my turn. That was Willy throwing me. - Oh right, gotcha, yes, yes, yes. Rowan, it's gonna be you. - Okay. Oy. Yeah, I'm gonna Puppet Ricky over to Kingston. - Okay. So you do Puppet. Voom. I'm gonna say that's gonna give Ricky an advantage on the roll we're gonna make for, as he's flying this way, that you're gonna bat him this way as hard as you can. - Wait, before we do that then, I would like to climb up, I would like to climb my movement. - Okay. - Is that okay? - Yeah, absolutely. - So I'm within 30 feet of him? - Yep. (suspenseful music) - So instead of anybody doing any fucking rolls, I would like to use Dimension Door. - Nice. - Wait! Hang on a second. - Mm-hmm. - Fuck, sorry. My math is getting confused. So I, can I get within five feet of him, 'cause he's actively falling. - Those are not where the steps are, you could make an athletics to jump and catch him, but then... - How about an acrobatics? - I would allow an acrobatics, if you fall five or more short of the difficulty, it's gonna be both of you going into the storm. (dramatic music) - What's the difficulty? - We'll call it an even 20. - What's your acrobatics? - (sighs) 11. So I'd have to get, if I get a 4 or below then, and what happens if I do Puppet? I'm so sorry. - It's gonna give him advantage on the save he's gonna make not to go into the storm. - And what's the save he has to make? - Oh, we don't know yet. - Oh! (laughs). - (sighs) Fuck. Oh my God. - Fuck! - I mean, 4 or lower on a d20 is okay. - Yeah, I'm gonna try then and do the Dimension Door, because I think. God, fuck, if I can't get higher than a 4. - I don't want to be the one who said that, sorry! I'll stop talking! - Fuck, shit! Fuck, fuck! - Let's go, this is clearly a Box of Doom roll. - Clearly. - Yeah. - My God. - I didn't want, ah! - You need to... - I would just be... (laughs). - You need a five or higher to get our boy. - I need a 9 to get him. - You need 9 to get him and not go down yourself. - Yeah. - What? - You need a 9? - I need a 9, a 9 or above to get you and then Dimension Door you to... - Oh, okay. - And a 4 or above to... - A 4 or above to not fucking die. (suspenseful music) - 13! - 13! - 13, 13! (claps) - Rowan Berry leaping from platform to platform! - I love this young fucking body! (all laugh) - You see that Esther throws a platform up under your feet. You got him! Whoom, you spiral in your crazy, beautiful old lady clothes as this hot, young actress. Grab Ricky, the wings on his back, boom. Get your arms around him, and (imitates air whooshing) you Dimension Door. - Who am I to stand in the way of true love? - I'm gonna exchange you, I'm gonna put you next to Esther. Or wherever you want to go, where do you want to... - Does Esther have healing spells? - Oh no, so you go to... - I'm gonna go to Kingston. - Gotcha, yes, yes, yes. - Who am I to stand in the way of true love? But first, let's see Kingston. - Yeah! I mean, look! There, it's not just me in standing in the way of true love, it's also literal death. - Incredible! Sofia, that's you. You are, you can act, but then you're gonna begin to fall. - Yeah, but can I fall onto these platform steps? - You can, you have to make a roll to hit them. - Yeah. I'm gonna try and do that so that I can push this thing through the door. - Cool, DC20 acrobatics. - DC20 acrobatics, okay. - Are you Blessed? I think you're Blessed. - Is that, do I get, since I have haste, and I have... - The movement? - And I have advantage on dexterity saving throws... - This counts as a saving throw. - Okay, so I get advantage on this. Well, I got it already. - Perfect. - Okay, well, the other one was a nat 1, but... - Cool. - The first one was... - Cool. You, boom, fall a couple steps. - Okay, and then I want to just rush up and shove this thing through the door. - Cool. Make, we don't need to roll damage, but make some attack rolls for me, make some... - Okay, all right. Okay (sighs), That's gonna be, (clears throat) 21. - Cool, roll again. - It's gonna be 24. - Nice! - It's gonna be, let's see. 15. - Mm-hmm. - It's gonna be 17. 16. - (laughs) The attacks! - How many, do I just keep going? - How many fucking attacks? - I think that just about does it. - Okay. (imitates reverbarations) - Sofia, standing in front of this, (imitaes air whooshing) It is what it is. (imitates air whooshing) And another voice, Nod hearing that says, "And what it is, is anything." (imitates rumbling) You glow with the power of the chosen one. And the frozen flame flies back into the Golden Door. (imitates air whooshing]) Robert screams, "No!" You hear the storm, (imitates roaring) get worse and worse. Sofia, that's your turn. Em flies up as you begin to fall, catches you, flies you back down to the platform here. - Why did I get to watch everyone's thing? - Because you're the Vox Phantasma. - Cool. - You know what dreams are up to. - You watched all our things? - Whoa! - Fuck. - You watched it from there? That's crazy! - That's cool. - Everyone came in and was like, you get to watch. And I was like, okay! And put on headphones and was just like, I almost cried for all of you guys. They were tense. - You guys see, this again, tornado shoots over here. I'm just gonna need dex saves from Sofia and Rowan. - Nat 20. - Yes! Yeah, Rowan! You're so hot! - You're so hot, you're so fuckin' hot! - You're so cool and fun and hot! - My hair is moving in the tornado in that epic fuckin' slo-mo way. - We should go see a play sometime, I dunno! - Carrie Coon is actually performing off Broadway right now, let's do it! - I'm so fucking into plays! (Emily laughs) - Pete, this comes over here. You see that Willy, give me a saving throw with advantage, 'cause you're right next to Willy. - Suck my dick (laughs). See I, after you kill me. - You're also Blessed. - You're Blessed, right? - Oh, that adds a 4, so that's nice. It's a what saving throw? - You're gonna fail, but you take 24 halved to 12 points of damage. - Fabulous. I'm up to 20! Hmm, okay. (all laugh) - Great. La Gran Gata goes, "Meow! (hisses) Jumps into the middle of this tornado... - What, no, no! - And dispels it. Meow! - Ahh. - I love, oh God. Oh, I wasn't hissing this whole battle. That was my plan. (Emily laughs) (Ally hisses) - You've still got the vampire teeth? (Ally hisses) - Then that's going to be... - Meow. - Ricky, you're dead. Full dead. - Three people have died in the past four hours. Wild. - This moves over here. - Four if you count... - You died. - I died. - You died. - Kug died. Also... - You died. You died three hours ago. You guys died a minute ago. - I'm never gonna die. - You're the only two that never died. - Kug died. - And you're dead! (laughs) - I mean, I'm not on Santa's list, which means that I'm never gonna die. - But also, what's his face, Alejandro died. - As the spinning continues, I'm gonna need dex saves from Pete, Pete, Rowan, and Misty. - With advantage since I'm close to... - Yes, with advantage. But Pete, Rowan, Sofia, I'm gonna need dex saves. - Okay. - Suck my dick! - Am I near them? - 22. - 22. - Okay, they don't even need my help. - That time it worked. - (laughs) That time it worked. Yeah, a lot. - Cool. - 23. - None of you are knocked back or moved. That's going to be, Pete give me some Wild Magic, by the way. - Oh right. 18. - 18. Cool, you're good. Kingston. - Scramble down. Revivify. - Oh shit. - You leap down. Hands on Ricky. Ricky, you arrive at the Pearly Gates. - Awesome. - JFK, (mimics air whooshing) plane's taking off. A huge pair of wings on your back. You see Ox with a pair of wings runs up. (Ox barks and licks) As you approach the Pearly Gates, you see that a group of angels applauds, "Yeah! Ricky Matsui!" (applause) - Oh, whatever (laughs). - You arrive there, and after a moment's time, you see a man that you haven't met before walks up to you crying. He's a super jacked, dorky lookin' dude, thick glasses. And he comes up and gives you this big, huge hug. He's got a pair of wings on his back as well. Incredible. Incredible! - Thanks. Something about you seems familiar. - Ah, my name's Dale. - Oh! (Emily gasps) - You're the, I can't believe it. Thank you for watching out for Sofie, man. - Of course. She watches out for me. - Hell yeah. - Yeah. - This is awesome. This is so cool. - Yeah! - She's the chosen one! - Yeah! - I love my wife! (Emily and Zac laugh) - There's tears streaming down his face. - Did you, just out of curiosity, how did you die? - Isabella murdered me. - Oh, okay. I just wanted, I'm sorry that I brought that up. - It's okay! I didn't get the riddle of the chosen one in time. I didn't understand it. - But she got it. - She got it. - Yeah! - That's, honestly, the city's better off for it. You see some tears roll down his face. Kingston, you cast the spell, you close your eyes. You appear at the Pearly Gates. Normally you have to do a little bit of wheeling and dealing when people's souls were especially pure or especially corrupt. But you arrive at the Pearly Gates, you see St. Peter looks over at you, and looks at you and says, "I tell you, Kingston Brown from uptown. "How's it going, friend?" - I'm good, how are you, Peter? - I'm good, I'm good. Well, what a time, can you believe it? - I tell you. I mean, it's a tough day. This is a tough day, you're taking a lot of my friends today. - You look and see Alejandro and his wife Esmeralda, bum-bum-bum, ba-bum-bum, ba-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum... - Okay. - As he looks over and he goes, "See what I mean, you have to have a good time!" - All right, I get it! - I did a lot of magic, 94 years, a long time for a wizard to be, you know, doing the cryptic riddles and beakers and smoke and saying, a dark time is approaching, and then you say, you know, hey, you keep it secret, and then you say, there is a legend of a rumor of a myth, and you know. You see he goes, "But I will miss to go to the corner "and get chopped cheese with you, my friend." - Hey, you know. You know, what can I say? I'm pretty old. It probably won't be too long until we're up here. - We'll keep a seat warm! - Yeah. Okay. - That way you can come and you can join us! - That's a little morbid, but I started this off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You keep a seat warm for me. - Hey. When the time comes, it's going to be a party here, too. - Looking forward to it. - You see St. Peter says, "So you're here to snatch one of our pure souls away, "bring 'em back to that wicked world?" - Yeah, that one Ricky Matsui. - You got me (laughs). - Yeah! You see Ricky's there. St. Peter says, "Well, I'll get the paperwork ready, "We're always happy to sign a soul back out to you, "given XYZ." You see he starts going, Dale kind of looks off into the middle distance, looks over at you and says, "(sighs) Well, keep Sof, "I guess give my love to Sofie. "Please tell her that I'm sorry I couldn't be there, "and I think the world of her." - Okay. - You see that he says, "Ah, Kingston, good to see you again." - How are you, Dale? - I'm all right. You see he turns around, Alejandro says, "Dale, come, get some food! Have some fun!" - Aww! - And you see that Dale starts walking away to go into Heaven. - Hey Dale. - Mm-hmm? - Just in case you're wondering. The deer are all right. (Emily laughs) - (sobs) They're just so gentle, they're like big mice! They're like big yard mice! - I know. - (sobs) Oh! (sighs) You see that, yeah, St. Peter gets the book out. He puts the book in front of you. You see there's paperwork to sign and stuff like that. - I sign away. (magical twinkling) - And you and Ricky are at the Pearly Gates, and you turn to walk back to the mortal realm. - Before I leave, could I stop and talk to Dale for a second? - Sure. - Can I try to give him my axe? If there's anything I can do? - Yeah. You hand the axe to him. He takes it, and the, you see it, (ax sparkles) changes to this insane set of nunchucks in his hand. Just like, (mimics swishing). Ah, thanks, man. I appreciate it. You see that you hand the questing blade over to him. As you do so, you see that he begins to fill with this radiant light, and look around, and at all these other angels, and the angels go, "Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee, you gotta see reason!" (grunts) And just starts housing all these angels. And you see St. Peter looks in the book. Mr. Matsui, what the hell'd you do! Why'd you give him a questing blade? - I don't know! (all laugh) (Emily laughs) It seemed like it would be really cool. You snap awake. Your wings vanish as you are once again the mortal man, Ricky Matsui. You are revivified, boom. You no longer have your questing blade. Kingston, that's your turn. Esther, voom, teleports over here. Immediately starts just gripping you. Just hardcore making out, blood and storm everywhere. - I'm so dead! - You're so nearly dead. - You have one life point, but you're ass is being rammed. - Nod smiles, raises up. Looks at you and says, "I knew I picked right." Voom, the Golden Door shuts. Boom! The storm continues as the door disappears, and Kugrash, that is your turn. You know the full inscription. All you need to do is say it. (suspenseful music) - What is the full inscription? - A branching web of necromantic, horrifying words appear that you boil down, you speak them, you guys hear strangely, him all around the storm. And the final piece are three words in an ancient form of Latin, that just say greed is good. And all you have to do is speak those words and then deny them. So I'll let you tell me what Kugrash says at the end of this. - All right. Kugrash says, the beginning part of it. And then says, (dramatic music) "Greed is good, for rat motherfuckers like Robert Moses, "but not in our town, not in our fuckin' city! "Make Wally Santa Claus!" (imitates rumbling) - Greatest city in the world! - The storm, whoom, disappears. - Ahh! - Happy New Year! ♪ Should auld acquaintance be forgot ♪ ♪ And never brought to mind ♪ ♪ Should auld acquaintance be forgot ♪ ♪ In days of Auld Lang Syne ♪ (imitates barfing) And a drunk person vomits all over your guys' shoes. - Oh my God. - Fuckin' love this city! - Do you have anything else to drink? - I'm from New Jersey! - Cool, yeah, checks out. - You see fire vanishes. Willy is standing here, all of you feel Kugrash's essence. (imitaetes air whooshing) - He's not here? - No. He begins to expand throughout the universe. - Become one with the juicy cockroach. - I've somehow found a little stage to stand on. - Mm-hmm. - And I continue the song, ♪ To Auld Lang Syne, my dear ♪ ♪ To Auld Lang Syne ♪ ♪ I raise a glass of no regrets ♪ ♪ For the sake of Auld Lang Syne. ♪ Goodbye, old friend. - I pour one out for Kugrash, and then I get a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and mash it into the ground. (all laugh) Wherever you are, Kug, eat! - While all this is happening, can I walk up to Don Confetti and just backhand him as hard as I possibly can? - Oh yeah, is he here, the little bitch. - He's there. - I would like to cast Dominate Person on fucking Don Confetti. (Ally claps) - He fails magnificently, you guys kick the shit out of him. - You little shit, you get out of this fucking city and I never want to see your goddamn face again. And if I or any of the fair folk see your face again, let me tell you, there will be trouble. - You see he says, "Very well. I shall do as many other crime folk "have done before me, and move to Arizona, "and change my name and burn my fingerprints off." - Just so you know, I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna kick your ass. - I don't deny... - Once a year, I'm gonna show up and kick your ass. - Once a year! It'll be like Christmas. - Fucking show up in San Jose. Buy some cowboy boots and kick your ass. - I have never made any bones about it, I'm quite bad. (all laugh) You see Don Confetti... - I grab him and I just wipe the throw up off my shoes with him. - Yes, Ricky! - It's my cheat day. (all laugh) - You all get the fuck out of the hellhole that is Times Square on New Year's. - Good God. - A bunch of people are talking about, what's this party, free drugs? It sounds dope as hell. - Boo. (all laugh) - Pete, you can't fall for your own trick. Also, you're sober. - No, I, nah, I just want to check it out. I was wondering, I thought it was something else. - The sounds fade. You all can, you know, you see Em heals all of your wounds and injuries. Em kisses you a kiss on the cheeks, Sofia. She looks at you all and says, "(sighs) Well, "Pain is a part of healing. "And the things we've lost should hurt. "But it does not mean that we are defeated "or that they will hurt forever." And she reaches out and touches your arm, Kingston. Heals you. And you see she gives you a kiss on the cheek and says, "I better get back to my fountain. "These sacrifices are never made in vain. "All these people," you hear celebration, confetti, yay! Their lives are our lives, and ours is theirs. All intertwined together. I think that's kinda beautiful. And she, whew, flies away. You see La Gran Gata looks over at you, Sofie, and goes, "Well, I have been away from the bodega for long enough." - Get back there! - There might be rats or cockroaches! - Ooh! Save me a Little Debbie snack. - I will be sure to find a Ho-Hos or... - Buddy bar, actually. - Oh! - Yeah! - Fun! (Emily laughs) (mimics air whooshing) And La Gran Gata sneaks away. Willy looks over at you all. You see he looks over at you and says, "You know bud, I'm not worried about New York." You see that he looks over to you and says, "I am going to head over to Gramercy." (imitates thunderous steps) And he starts taking off. The rest of you are in Times Square. Esther is just holding your hand, Ricky, she goes, "What happened to the questing blade?" - I gave it... I gave it to... - Those are incredibly rare and important, they're so important! - Yeah. - They're so important! - Oh well, I mean, someone else has it that's pretty cool. (Emily laughs) - There is a Holiday Inn about three blocks from here. - Sure, yeah! (all laugh) - I stop both of them, like, Okay, look, you guys need to go somewhere better than a Holiday Inn. You've been waiting so long. - You mean like a Howard Johnson or... - That penthouse that we talked about! - Absolutely! - I actually have other stuff I have to do, so I won't be there. - Yeah, 'cause you weren't invited. So good thing you're letting us know... - I wanted to make sure that you knew that I was offering it to you for you to stay in and not all of us go there. - I let you know that I gave your husband my questing blade. And I think he, I don't know. - He probably really liked it. - I think he... - He loves fucking shit up. - I think he fucked a lot of shit up. - Thank you. - You guys see, on the ground before you, a little bronze crown, dirty, grimy little crown on the ground, and a little rusty staff. - Aw my God, I pick it up! I pick it up. - Mm. - What do you guys do? You are victorious. You see that the Golden Door is sealed, Nod is restored. You see the shattered time stone at the center of Times Square is being swept up, and a shitty old phylactery with Robert's final inscription completely undone by Kugrash's sacrifice. - I gotta be at work tomorrow at 10 AM, so I'm gonna go home. - Kingston? - What? - Go see Liz. - Okay, fine! Maybe, I don't know! Anyway, we'll be... - I cast Dominate Kingston and make him fucking go and fix his marriage! - She's at your work, right? - Yeah! - Yes. - That works out. - I, okay, all right. - Go wish her, go give her a New Year's kiss. - Okay, we just, it was one good conversation. It's a lot, there's a lot of work, you know what? - Mm-hmm. - Great job, everybody. It was real good. - Yeah. I'm gonna go find Wally. - I'm gonna go with you, - I think I remember the video that fuckin' Bob Moses showed me where everyone hated me, and Kugrash was the only one that was like, hey, maybe now, or led the charge on like, Pete's fine, and I think I feel like really sorrowful. - Truthfully, I was planning on dying in that fight to be with Dale, but now that Kug is gone, I feel like Wally needs a buddy. And I'm gonna train Wally to be a monk and install him as the new Santa Claus. - That's awesome. (all laugh) - You also do see by the way that Santa's bag and hat are both... - I pick those up too because... - Well, but Santa, there's multiple Santas, though, right? That was the premise of the... - There are multiple Clauses. - Clones only, but... - There's only one true Santa Claus? - He makes clones and there's only one true Santa Claus. - Wally's so pure hearted. He would be such a good Santa. - He would be great! - In this universe, is there a Santa Claus? - Everyone give me an arcana check. - Great. - 13. - 19. - 17. Oh no, 19. - 19? The original St. Nicholas, of course died a long, long time ago. He was killed by the Catholic Church during the dark ages as a heretic. - Uh-huh. - Of course. - Naturally. - Oh wait, that doesn't make any sense, he's Saint Nicholas. Well, when they found out that he had a workshop full of elves, they were like, that's no go, you can't do that. And then they later canonized him, and it's a whole long and involved process. - Complicated, complicated. - But yes, there have been many, many Santa Clauses. - Great. - I think that this Santa Claus happened to be a very powerful sort of wizard or sorcerer or something. I think Wally's gonna need some muscle around him to keep him safe. But I think he has the heart to be Santa Claus. - Yeah. Can we stop by a Redbox on the way and get every Will Ferrell movie ever made and show up at Wally's house? - And be like, you got a new job, let's watch some movies! - Let's watch all the movies, man! - Except for Bad Santa. Don't show him that one. - And I talk to Esther and like, - Let's just make sure that his other son's not a vampire anymore. - Oh! - That I have nothing to do... - I have Remove Curse, I can try it. - Cool, I think you guys probably all head to Forest Hills in that case. 'Cause Wally's there as well. You guys, you see walking down the street, going towards their house, a sort of very sick looking David, his wife, Diane, their two kids, Matt and Delia, and Wally going, I think the pancakes are better than IHOP, personally, you ask me, it's the best... - Wally... - Of premium chain restaurants, I like, I think the pancakes are great. The waffles aren't bad either! - Hey Wally, hi! Sofia Lee, I'm a good friend of your dad's. - Oh! Oh, you're not, okay! - Not her dog. Not the dog. Your dad. - Which dog? Dad? - Your rat dad. - You guys should hang out! - This is, yeah, you're my best friend. - You're my best friend! What is it? - Oh my God, we don't want to have to do this. Your dad... - Graduated. - Graduated to a different plane... - Yeah, go college! - Yeah, so he's gonna be gone for a while, but we have a new thing to work on you with. Do you want a job? A new job? You get to do, I know you like being a, I know you like driving the trains, what about driving a sleigh? - Whoa, on rails it would break! - No, through the sky! - Okay! - With the reindeer. - Yeah. - Try this hat on, it's really warm and soft. - Full beard sprouts from his face. (all laugh) - Huh? Oh. - You're Santa. - You're Santa now. - Oh, okay, I'm Santa now. Everyone's gotta sit on my lap for Merry Christmas to tell the presents they want to me. - Yeah, and then one day, you get to go out and give 'em all the presents! - Yup. - Hmm. I need a bag full of toys. - Oh, we got that. - We got a while to work on the whole Santa act, 'cause it's not until next year. - (laughs) Now you're really high status! - Oh yeah, also is there a list somewhere? I feel like I need my list. - Okay, look buddy! - One thing at a time, one thing at a time. - Here's your list... - I scramble and hand him some kind of list. - Did we just create the next villain? - Yeah, oh I'm sure, he's really bossy. - He goes, "Wow! Okay." - I Mindlink with him. - You see that the hat is downloading tremendous amounts of information into his mind. - Wait, is it making you smarter? Is it making, can I do an insight check to see if it's making him smarter? Okay. Eh, I got a 6. - I'll do an insight check. - I want to know, because that was Kug's dream to awaken him. - He's becoming wise and smart and you see that he, all this Christmas magic is filling him, but he's still very much Wally. He's, it's not that it's making him smart, it's still very much him. But he has access to a lot of stuff that he didn't have access to before. - Yeah, I think that's all Kug wanted for him. - You see he goes, "Wow! Christmas isn't a present, it's a feeling! Gah!" - Hey Wally, if you're gonna go to the store and just pick up some essentials, what's one thing that you would include? - From the store? - Yeah, like... - String cheese. - Okay. Anything else like, if you had to clean up a mess? - Paper towel? - Okay. - All right. Whoa! - What? - I gotta go to... - Wait, no! What? - He forgot them last time, that was David. - All right, I tell you what. I better get to the North Pole, 'cause it's almost gonna be Christmas in 11 and a half months. - Yeah! Well, is there a North Pole? - You see that David, Diane, and Matt and Delia are all looking at this going, "What is happening?" - What? Oh, we should probably fix the Umbral Arcana... - I was just realizing that too. - Can I try to remove, do I have any spell slots back, maybe? - Oh, we were healed, right? - You're all healed, but you haven't done a long rest yet. - Can I do a medicine check on David? - Yes you can. - And just, what is it gonna take to fix him. - Can I do, if I get a nat 20, can I have heal him from... - Yeah, if you get a nat 20. - Oh. - A 22. - Cool. It'll take a Greater Restoration. - Oh, all right. Well, the Holy Detergent will work tomorrow morning, so... - Cool. - Hey, you know how your dad was talking about you, how you got bit? - Yeah. - Yeah, I can handle that. Will you come down to St. Owen's tomorrow morning? - Sure, I have, I'm freelance, so my insurance is through... - It's all gonna be taken care of. - Kug took care of it. Your dad. He's a good man. - You see he looks and says, "You were all the people that were friends "with him when he was a rat." - Yeah, that's right. We're his rat friends. - We're all the adults who were friends with the rat. - Yeah. - We were five adults, human beings who were, wanted to be friends with a rat. - Sometimes we carry the rat so that he could keep up with our stride. - I picked him up on many occasions. - Sometimes I would do his hair and he would look like an ugly baby. - They once ran a scheme of chasing people out and getting free drinks at bars. - I can almost see him dancing now, really. I'm just getting a vision of a dancing baby. - David, you need to know that, I know that you had a tough time with your dad and, he really did love you so much. And he really did regret so much that he didn't have a life with you. - Blood, blood. - Oh God, are you... - That's very disturbing. - It's a vampire spell. - Do you want some eyedrops? - Also I want you to feel like you can cry 'cause it's important. - Mm-hmm. - You're just telling me it was, you did tell me it was upsetting that I was doing it. - It's just, you probably, oh you can't see you're actually bleeding whenever you cry. - Oh shit, oh shit. - I sent you the Wikipedia page for just what vampires are by the way. Just sort of general knowledge on... - You see Esther shakes her head. You see that David says, "I'll stop by tomorrow, "I'm gonna take my family inside, we've had a long day." - I feel that. - You see he says, "And you said, my dad is, where is he?" - He's everywhere. - He's graduated. - So he can, he's here. He's looking out on you. He can see you and he knows what's going on. - He made a huge sacrifice to stop Robert Moses, and in doing so sort of traded his corporeal form for Robert Moses's future. - Am I able to Mindlink if I can communicate with a willing creature? - Yeah. I think so. - Can I open up a Mindlink for Kugrash to talk to David? - Yes, you can. - Imagine I'm repeating everything but you can just talk. - Yeah, you open a Mindlink, and Kugrash, you're wild, you're like, you can remember yourself, but you're also remembering everybody else, you're, I mean, this externalized, infinite consciousness. It's trippy. But there's still a part of you that's you. You hear, - Dad? - Hey, hey David. I'm in a crazy, I'm becoming one with the world. It's fuckin' nuts. - That sounds fuckin' crazy. - It's fuckin' kinda awesome. - Well, shit dad, I guess you're what, you're like fuckin' some bhodisattva, you're like enlightened or something? - Yeah, I'm like fuckin' going back and like, reincarnated or fuckin' somethin', man. I'm becoming part of the Earth, becoming part of New York. - Well, shit. (soft music) - Well, I guess since you're part of New York, then you will be around. - Yeah. Yeah. - Love you, dad. - Love you, David. Look out for Wally. Although he's Santa now, so, he'll probably be good. - The Mindlink is separated. You see Wally goes, - Wow, well okay, I better, I'm gonna go let the MTA know, I'm gonna give 'em my two weeks, I'm gonna do the next two weeks driving the trains as Santa. And then I'm gonna move to the North Pole. - In the first two weeks of January, you're gonna be dressed as Santa driving the MTA? - Hang on Wally. New York is an at will state. That means that you can quit at any time, you actually don't need to give two weeks' notice. - I understand, but the MTA's done right by me, so it's more of a moral than an, but I appreciate your knowledge of New York's complex labor laws. - You know what? As an actor, it's important to know, you know to have your own back, your own manager. - Nobody else is gonna stand up for you, you gotta stand up for yourself. - Exactly. That's New York City, baby. - And to all a good night! (mimics air whooshing) The wind blasts off. David walks inside, Wally heads back to his apartment as the news... - That train that he's driving for the next two weeks is gonna be the bomb. - You guys tell me what you do. As the battle ends and New York is saved. What happens you guys, I guess go, that's Ricky and Esther go to, I guess, this nicer hotel! (laughs) - Wow. Awesome. - Awesome, what does Sofia do that night? - Hmm, I don't know. - Does anyone want to hang out? I'm not really ready to stop hanging out. - I have to start looking for a place to live and a job. (laughs) - Well you know, you could always stay at the Order of the Concrete Fist. - Really? - Yeah! - Okay. - Yeah, we can pimp you out a nice room, yeah. - Again, it is in Staten Island. - It's, yeah. - Oh, is it? - Yeah! - I think Wally's apartment still exists. - Oh, that's so, oh. Actually, I did actually just remember that I did have something else that I had to do. I'm so sorry. (laughs) We can hang out here, though, before you head back. - Yeah, I think I'm not gonna go home tonight. - I'm gonna go check in with my people, I sort of have realized, I lived kind of adrift for a few hundred years and even, I feel like I need a bit more of a base and then I'm gonna re-establish my... - Hell yeah. - Relationship. - Yes. You go find your people victorious in battle against the vampires, and the fairies moving in from the north, and the Order of the Concrete Fist coming in from the South made short work of these vampires. - I'm gonna go to the Gramercy Occult Society and use a ritualistic Commune With the City as well as devices there to try and track down Ana and Amelia. - Actually, that would be a great place to party. You want to just go to the Order of the... - Okay, let's though. Lets grab a couple of sixers... - We don't, we have business. No, we're not going... - Yeah, we're gonna come. That sounds fun. - Kingston, you find Ana and Amelia, you Commune With the City. You find them, they've been wounded and bitten, they're unconscious, but stable. - Mm-hmm. - You bring them back to the Order. - Great. - And then, you know, I assume that night you guys all go to rest, you're with your fairy court. Well, there's a lot of stuff to happen here. But you guys want to do something wild? - Yeah! - Yeah. - Let's do something wild. It is a hot, sticky, sweaty, funky, gross New York summer. It is like mid-August, hot, hot out here. (upbeat music) What is going on in the lives of our dear heroes? I'll tell you what the NPCs closest to you are doing. Sofie, your mom, which no woman in her family in her generation's ever done, divorces your father, and asks if you would like to, for the time being while you get back up on your feet, move in together. - I'm actually, I want to say that I offered to Jackson to take over, he made some joke about how he should have retired, and I wanted to offer to take over. - Jackson accepts. - Okay, so yeah. I bring my mom in, though I want to train her to be a monk and get that divorce body going. - Divorce body? - Sofia, this is, this is better than the Jazzercise, this is nice. - I know. 'Cause it's real, it's functional. You know, you're building functional muscles that you can use. - And then I also want to have opened a school in the Order of the Concrete Fists for rats in honor of Kugrash. So I want to have a little training center for rats. - Beautiful. - Is this how Master Splinter came to be? - Yeah! (laughs) - There's a lovely evening, you have your mom staying with you at the Order, you're looking out over Staten Island as the new leader of the Order, the chosen one. - I got a picture of Dale, I'm like, "Dale, I'm coming for you. "I thought I was gonna stay with you on New Year's Eve, "but I got business here, "and I gotta do right by my fallen friends and all. "I'll be there when I can." - Ricky, you're firefighting, you're doing your thing. Ana and Amelia now are both vampires. But they're cool with it. There's plenty of stuff that they can do to, you know, keep their thing going, and Esther is the new head of the Gramercy Occult Society. - I think Ricky quits being a firefighter. - Whoa! - And instead has a homeless, starts a homeless outreach program in honor of Kugrash. - Aww! - Oh my God! - Just starts running around, giving people food. - We are like installing all these... - And now you're triple viral. Like this hot guy running and helping people in need. - Ox is holding my bag of food. - Yes, you have put down the blade and taken up the mantle of someone who heals and restores and helps people. - Yeah. I'm still cut, I'm just still really cut. - You're still extremely cut. You and Esther are very happily dating, six months later. And she also now has coupled the work of the Gramercy Occult Society, and now with the help of the Vox Phantasma, and the Tompkins Square Witches Coven, begin to finally finish the work of mapping all of the magical realms adjacent to New York City. - I also want to make sure that, as part of my thing, as being the working with the Concrete Fist is I'm working directly with everyone. - Mm-hmm. - Like you know, setting up new bridges. - New bridges, not remote, you're involved in shit going on. You're not standing against dream. - Yeah. - The relationship between dream and Nod and the waking world has never been better, for the first time in history, the two Voxes are here at the same time. Six months later, Kingston's still working at the hospital? - Of course. Yeah, I think I'm still working at the hospital. I don't think so much changes for Kingston, I think still working at the hospital. I think Liz and I spent Sundays together. - Wow! - It's not like a... - Full arm distance away! - No, it's not... - Sundays? - Taking it slow, you know? There's a lot of emotions flying around. - You guys go on walks and stuff. - We're two 55 year old people, we've lived long lives. I mean, you don't divorce somebody and then be like, fuck it, we're back, you know? It's a process. - Liz comes by with coffee on a Sunday while you're at the hospital and you guys take a lovely walk by the Hudson River and catch up. - And I now have a dog, it's just a real mutt named Bruce. - Aww! - Three legs, two teeth. - Yeah. - What a sweetheart! She scratches his chin as you guys walk along together. Very happy, and you give Bruce a very good home. What does Rowan get up to? Six months later, she's probably working... - I mean, yeah. She's trying to form a stable government of the fair folk in New York City. - Very hard to do. - Very complicated, a lot of factions. She's also doing some open mics. - Wow! - It's like she's starting fresh. - Starting fresh. A lot of people are like, "I can't believe that you're not repped, that's crazy!" - Oh my God, yeah, no, I mean, I just got here. - Amazing. - Well thank, I don't know, you know? If you, you know, I would love for some commercial representation or, yeah, whatever. - I have a friend, let me actually reach out to somebody... - Yeah, thank you so much! - I'm gonna, I'd love to pass along your information. - That's so sweet. And then I'm also, once a week I mean, I go and do some workshops with Ricky's, the people that Ricky is helping out. - Beautiful. - Again, in honor of Kugrash and just trying to give people, it's like, I don't know how much skills I have to help these people, but this is something that I feel like I can do is giving people the confidence to... - Wonderful, a busy life, and Rowan, of all your incarnations feels like the one that has grounded herself the most in the business of the city. And with your fae court here begin to shape this into someplace new. What do you get your silver, I'll let you think about what you get your silver bouillon shaped into. - Oh, I know what I'd get it shaped into. - What do you get? - I would like for it to be shaped into a flag pin. - A flag pin. Wow. - A little flag pin! A beautiful, silver flag pin. And you walk in New York. - And it's an American flag, but with the same colors of the Order of the Concrete Fist, so instead of red, white, and blue, it's the gold and purple. - Yeah! - To represent both the magical, but also the American Dream. - Beautiful (glimmers) Lovely little pin. What's, six months later, what's Pete doing? - Okay, so I think Pete got 53V3N to buy him out of the drug trade, 'cause he absolutely could not do it anymore. But I think 53V3N paid him in cryptocurrency and it was all Etherium. And it was worth a shit ton of money, but it fully tanked, so I think... Pete works a normal job at the bookstore. But I think Pete, when he had a ton of crypto, launched almost a shitty Banksy style secret artist. Just so that he could talk to Priya and hear her go, be so mad that there's this new artist on the scene that nobody knows about. And it's Pete just doing like, what is the most lame thing I could do, and doing it and watching people erupt over it. - Incredible. You work at a dope little, it's like a second hand bookstore. They have a thing where kids can just come and take books from the shelf. - Cool, yeah yeah yeah. - You have your, you have some very chill friends there. And as you sort of put up residence there, the money's not great, but you have a dope little portal to dreams here, and it's right around the corner from Kingston's neck of the woods. And any of the kids that are a little bit dreamy and need a portal to somewhere to get away to find something that they've always wished for, can find it in your bookstore. And it's super chill. David comes by the hospital, is healed, and over the next couple months keeps writing letters to dad, because he knows that they will be seen this time. And takes his family as well as Santa Claus. He takes his family as well as Santa Claus... - Santa Wally. - Out to the ball game, and every time he does, he buys an extra seat. - Oh my God. - Can I also say that, as a little thing on the side, I'm like, just making sure that everything's going okay with the Santa thing, like... - Oh yes. - I kind of can be like the stand-in Mrs. Claus, make sure everything's running according to plan. - Absolutely, - Okay, cool. - Your mom becomes Mrs. Claus. - Oh my God. - No, would Wally want to be married... - Let's set up your mom and Wally! (laughs) - Oh my God. - One time when I'm at the North Pole, I root around to find a Mrs. Claus hat, do I find one? - Yes, you find a Mrs. Claus hat. - I put it on my mom's head. - Well, this is horrifying! - Oh! ( mimics air whooshing) - Look at those rosy cheeks! - Very rosy cheeks. Incredible. Truly, truly insane. - I'm also making sure that Kingston is having some fun. - I think Kingston... - I now text GIFs to the group. But they're all the same, they're all the same one. - The Dick Van Dyke Show gif. - They're all a bunch of I Love Lucy and like... - That one chocolate eating moment on the conveyor belt. - Oh, one question. So Pete is now just a, now you're just doing kind of the job of the Vox Phantasma, what do you do, so Nod is always welcome to have you come, hang out at the diner, come hang out in dream land all you want. You're, what do you do with your dad? - I think I visit my dad in Nod a lot. - Mm-hmm? - Yeah, I go to Nod, and I hang out with him and I'm like, - That's really cool that you're so open minded now. - It's hard not to be, everything I've seen has been the strangest thing ever than the thing even right before it, just a moment before it. - That's so cool. But also, you know, I mean, you saw these sexual travesties. Are you okay? (laughs) - I make sure that he's cool. - Even some of the stuff that wasn't sexual, I saw Jesus Christ come in and tell me that he's been lying to everyone and he didn't forgive everybody's sin, and had some, he shot himself. - Whoa, that's, okay. - I think I'm working with him on how to show your emotions, how to... - Is everything here real? Because if I can imagine it then it's... - None of it's real. It's all very real and all very not real, so. - Okay. - You know what they say about dreams, it's not really what happens, but it's your reaction to it and how you feel, that's what you should pay attention to. - Cool, cool cool. Cool, cool. Do mom and your siblings know that I'm here? - I can tell them, I think. - Is there a way for me to get my dad out of Nod, or he's dead? - No, he's not dead. - Oh, I take him back... I'm visiting him for four months, And then that's when I finally ask Nod, can he just leave? - Nod's like, - Oh I assumed you wanted him to be here forever. - Oh no. - You bring your dad... - Awkward! - Your dad appears back in his clothes, but you see he's like, extremely changed, he goes, - That was a very jarring way for something to happen that I'm glad happened. - Yeah. Some powerful medicine. - I'm gonna let my family know I'm not dead, 'cause I've been missing for months. - Very cool. - You're a good kid, Pete. - Thanks. - I'll be back sometime because I'm never gonna be normal again. - Mm-hmm. - And that's okay. - Yeah, totally. I would agree. - Okay. I'm gonna get, I'm going to go, I'm going to get out of here. I'm gonna... - I'll go back with you. I go, I take a trip up with my dad. - You take a trip back home, your dad, you know, introduces you to everyone as his, Pete's come home for a visit. And we're gonna make it a great fuckin' visit. - Cool. - And your dad ruins a lot of conversation with a lot of crazy shit that he didn't used to know. - Cool. - The other things, the Sardinian Eagle ends up La Gran Gata's bodega. - Oh, don't lick at that. (slurps) No. - Why? - Just, ah... - It tastes very interesting. (slurps) - It's been in a man's asshole. - Okay. - Oh wait. Cool. You do you. - And the last scene we'll leave off on, you are giving chinny scratches to La Gran Gata in your beautiful monastery. A wonderful day of the Order and the Occult Society, Esther and you get coffee all the time. Em is kind of busy these days, but Esther, you get coffee all the time. Esther's now got a key to Gramercy Park, which is pretty wild. - Oh, I thought you were going to say to Ricky's apartment. Oh my God. - She definitely has, I feel like Ricky immediately gives her a key. He already had one made. - Just for, you know, just to keep. Just to have. - Just to use to come, to come in and out. - You look out, and you look down. You know, the Order, the Occult Society, the Vox Phantasma's got this dope sorcerer's sanctum in this old magic bookshop, and the Vox Populi reigns over and tends to his city. And the new fae court is here, New York's never been more thriving. You look down and see a little group of deer in the little woods of Staten Island Move into some back yards. And you suddenly hear, (heavy breathing) and you turn. And a winged Dale, thick black eye, bloody nose, holding a questing blade says, - I saw the deer. They only have a couple minutes, but I wanted to come and watch them with you. - Yeah. - He kisses you, puts his ripped arm around your body. - Did you get even, did you get even beefier up there? - I think it's the blade, it's honestly kind of fascinating. - I love that you're kicking ass up there. - I was, the angels were too much for me. And then Ricky gave me this, and now I can get out kind of whenever I want, and they, they're understanding, they get it. - Well... - Oh look, look at the little one, look at it! - I know. That one, he just came along, I think she had 'em maybe three months ago. - Oh my God! I also wanted to ask, because we missed this last April, but there's actually a lot of stuff that we can file for with the monastery if you're working with the Occult Society, 'cause the Occult Society can apply for grants, that's actually, so, and they're taxes, we can actually... - Did you beat up a bunch of angels to come give me tax advice? - I just want everything in your life to be easy. - Well, well, you're helping. Tell me the tax advice. - Okay, it's a lot of interesting stuff. - Aww! - And we go away from the monastery, over the city of New York, and a spiral of wind, and Kugrash's spirit watching over his city, and his friends, as a little hairy baby dances on the breeze. And honestly, if that's not New York, I don't know what is. That's been The Unsleeping City. Thank you all so much for tuning in. Take care! (applause cheering) - If that's not New York City, I don't know what is! A little hary dancing baby! - A little hairy baby dancing on the wind. - Only in New York, baby! (dramatic music) [NEXT SEASON ON DIMENSION 20] (suspenseful Music) - Thimble Lane was full of tiny little people, who lived in the walls and in the yard and beyond. Fairies and mice and bugs and talking toys. A little world that I'm afraid might be less whimsical than a child would first imagine. - Who are you talking to? - The audience at home? - Oh my God, they're filming! Hi, I'm Justin McElroy! - What belongs to me is my business. And all the other toys in the house were smart enough to follow suit. Car-Go- We all have reasons for being here. Rick- [laughs] Yes! I have a lot of body. Bean- If I get sucked into a fan and exploded, you'll know what happens. Boomer- I have a story in me that's gotta come out. Agnes- If I need a compliment, I'll look in the mirror, okay? TI- Can I jam the cameras with an electromagnetic force? - Can you make up a bunch of bullshit magic in the middle of the heist? Car-Go- Roll of quarters. That's our in. TI- Quarters that could go in the vending machine? Car-Go- Not just one or two or three, a whole roll of quarters. Rick- This job is gonna involve explosions. [roaring flames] [gasps] Rick- Flips. [sound of car bumping] Bean- Oh hey! Rick- And maybe space? NPC- [shouting] Yes! Rick- You never know! - Tiny Heist. A world of big crimes and small people. [dramatic music] [devious laughter]
