C2 E68

Ratma did some real weird wishing or dream scape surfing because her basement is full of weird guys. Who may or may not be hot. They are fast, though.

## **Story**

### Long Story

The party stands outside of The Goblin Pit Too, with three terrifying monsters hulking toward them. Well, two terrifying monsters, and one terrifyingly sexy monster. They appear to be horrific, fucked up versions of Knuckles, Tails, and Shadow from the hit video game series Honic the Sedgehog. Shadow is the sexy one, fyi. You knew that.

There's a brief, but violent battle. Selene, in an act of desperate individualism, sends a *Fireball* into the side of the Goblin Pit, causing wanton destruction. This leaves Ratma Ritmo only slightly upset. Meanwhile, R'Oarc has her eyes on that Shadow creature. She's once again in love, poor girl. And it seems the feeling is mutual, as the creature (unable to speak) begins drooling as it leers at her. T'Chuck puts a stop to this would-be love affair, and also puts a stop to the Shadow monster's life. As in, he kills it. Selene's blood lust is up, and she completely destroys the other two monsters with a quick *Lightning Bolt*. Savage, Selene.

And that's it. Also, there's some business about Screech wearing the Beholder-doodle costume, but not the mask. So, at this point, everyone knows that Screech is Beholder-doodle. Except, he specifies, Gertie. Screech's ward is there, helping T'Chuck and Ratma put out the fires in the Goblin Pit. But, Bachmann specifies that Gertie DOESN'T know about his secret identity. And if he ever did reveal that to Gertie, say in a past episode and then forgot... then, he told her it was a lie. So, she doesn't know. Somehow. Alright, Bachmann... Alright...

### Short

The party fights Ratma's three "sexy" Sonic creatures. R'Oarc falls in love with the Shadow Monster, but T'Chuck kills it. During the fight, Selene blasts a hole in the side of the Gobling Pit Too, and starts a fire, but it's not that big a deal.

## **Trivia**

* Day ?? of the campaign.
* There are some shenanigans with the geography of this episode. It sounded like the cellar door was inside the Goblin Pit Too, but the Quest Board is outside of it. Last episode, they were outside, looking at the board, but then the cellar door opened, so it felt like they were inside? But at the top of this episode, some of them were outside, and some of them were inside? It was confusing, but blessed Michael cleared it all up by saying that the cellar door WAS inside, but the monsters just walked out the front door of the Goblin Pit. So everyone's outside, and it's all fine. It's fine.

### **Quotes**

* **"This is like a fucked up Knuckles!"** ~ *Jennifer Cheek*

* **"Who the *fuck* is Gertie?"** ~ *Mike Bachmann/Screech Echo*

* **"I don't feel so good, Mr Eggman..."** ~ *Tim Lanning*

* **"What I would like is that he stops fighting. He says 'I can't do this, I can't fight you. I-- I must have you. You are the love of my life, I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you, blah blah blah, all of that stuff.' But then what happens is, as soon as he does that, I, of course, don't attack him, because, I'm smitten. I've never been in love more than I have with this Shadow-man-cat-rat thing. And I'm ready to just throw my whole life away, and join him. And we're gonna run around, and we're gonna go so fast, and I'm gonna ride his back while he spins me around and stuff. And then! Someone, whosever turn it is next comes up behind him, and ends up hitting him, and killing him. And I'm like, 'No! My boyfriend!' So, that's how it was going in my head. That's my predicted... That's what I would *like* the outcome to be."** ~ *Nika Howard*
