Brennan: The most impressive d4 roll I've ever seen was in this episode that nat one d4 roll, but with the two before it Ally: Yeah Brennan: You had- you could have-  you- you got through two d4 rolls that could have ended on the first roll Brennan: As you begin running I'm going to need one last d4 roll for time Ally: So it has to be a one, right? Brennan: If it's a one you make it there scot free. If it's a one, we're done right now. Otherwise, the clock strikes midnight. Lou: You know Murph's
got that one in him. Brennan: Box of Doom-- Interpid Heroes: [all talking over each other about how Murph has that one in him] [all yelling and cheering!!!] Brennan: Oh my fucking God! Siobhan: That's the best one you've ever rolled Murph: I rule at sucking! I rule at sucking! I rule at sucking! [everyone celebrating and talking over each other, Emily is cackling with laughter] Murph chanting: I suck ass Zac, Siobhan, Lou, & Ally join in: You suck ass! Murph: I SUCK ASS! Ally: This absolutely m
akes up for, and blows out of the water, the time when you rolled for all of us-- Siobhan (off screen): Does it? --and we all were so mad everyone stood up at the same time. Murph: [laughing] Siobhan: I'm still kinda mad about that Lou: I do have to agree that I, um, don't think it does [laughter] Lou: I do think Siobhan is right Brennan: -because this environment is so hostile there will also be Lair Actions. If one of you would kindly roll a d20 to see how bad the Lair Action is Murph: You got
it! Brennan: You want a high number... Emily: Why would you--- Murph: FUCK! [All yelling at Murph, it's a wall  of sound, mainly "No!' & 'Why?!'] Murph yeliing over everyone else: Statistically  I have just as good of a chance as rolling good as any of you! Murph: OH! That's what you get, that's what you get, that's not good either. That's fine. That's average. Ally: Fine. I'll roll. [More laughter and big sighs as they try to compose themselves] Emily: Why did you throw your hat in the ring  b
efore anyone else even processesed what was going on? Siobhan as Murph: I'll do it! I'll do it. Murph: Does it get rid of one of them though? Ally: Absolutely Murph: Cause did it twice. Ally: Oh, yeah [laughter] Siobhan: You did it twice? Murph: Yeah, I did it in Neverafter, I think. Lou: Oh yeah, you did it once, then you did it again. Siobhan: Yes, Neverafter is the one I'm mad about. Murph: I did it again, yeah. Ally: Where it's like the group has to do a thing and you just went 'All right' *
roll* It was like, so bad. Just like 'you all die' *ominous dice rolling noise* Brennan: That's an eight Who ever wants to roll for the  table can roll for the table [Intrepid Heroes start to discuss] Murph: You know what? I got this! Murph: [*Urgh* followed by panicked laughter] Siobhan: Murph? Siobhan: Murph! Ally: Every time! Every time, I go "I'm not going to be rude and be like 'NO!'" Siobhan: You're fired Lou: Murph, that's not okay. Murph, straight up, that's not okay Emily: [laughing] We
literally-- We literally-- Siobhan: This is damaging to our real friendship [everyone talking over each other] Lou: We have to have discussion about  boundaries right now. That is not okay! [crosstalk and laughter] Lou: I need a ride home, I need a ride home Murph: Sometime I have to do that and it  needs to work because, statistically-- Emily: Yeah, maybe try it for a bit (!) Siobhan: Not right now Murph: --it shouldn' happen  every time! He got an eight!! [laughter] Lou: That's not okay, bro.
Murph: All I had to do it roll an eight or nine Siobhan, Ally, Lou, Zac, Emily one by one: This is what I would have rolled Emily: Oh, I would have failed. Murph: This whole side of  the table would have lost [laughter] Brennan: So we got an eight and a five-- Ally: So, they're just a little bit ahead of us that's how that works? Brennan: They are three full rounds ahead of you [chorus of groans, yelling and "Noooo"s Lou: I'm going to cast-- [laughter] Ally: Banishment! Siobhan: I cast Web on M
urph Lou: Yeah, I cast Banishment on the actuaI man Murph. Emily: I love him! [Murph CACKLING off screen] Lou: Murph, what are your stats? Murph, 14 Spell Save Siobhan: Murph has Commoner stats  and that's canon, because he said it Brennan: but, this time it really worked out and, again, statistically you know... Murph: I have just as good  of a chance as anybody else Siobhan: Just as good of a chance of rolling a one Lou: No you don't, no you don't I'm gonna find the statistician who will prove
me right Brennan: Where is the statistician that will say the Gambler's Fallacy is not a fallacy? They will say it's actually how maths works. Lou: On yelp.com Ally: They all live in Vegas and they will give you good info, I promise Murph: Anyone want want me to roll for them? Lou: Fuck you, Murph. I swear--- [laughter]
