DOWN TO BUSINESS
Dice tumble, right?
If it’s giant, it’s not a thimble
Thumble, the thimble for the thumb
Deep Dark Night United
Looking for that 1 person out of 10

INTRO
Thoughts about thumbles and thimbles
Think, thought, thunk, y’know?
It’s not the Super Happy Fun Place of Joy Where You Fall Asleep Easily
Last night was a doozy
Me and Koa were working together to keep me up, tossing and turning
My light alarm came on early, unexpectedly
High 90% chance of being fine
Taking it limbically
It’s an extra stitch in the nitch
A stiche in the niche
The old reappearing wrinkle
Sympathetic Wrinkle, an autobiography
I have no sympathy for wrinkles
I’ll be your Old BoreWinkle
It’s kind of like the Noid. Right? Hello?
Why did the Domino’s employ the Noid if they didn’t want him around?
Did Domino’s pay the Nod to appear in their commercials?
If you bring the Noid back, do it with found footage
STORY
Navigating the adventure of friendship while playing an adventure board game
I always say “Without further ado”
Antonio’s Introduction
A smile can do so much
Scooter prefers a smile on the inside
Internal Rigamarole
Nothing makes me frown more than practicing smiling in a mirror
Watta is groggy
Some sort of sleep spell
Looking for Mary Blair Repair
The mission is to get rid of the pumps and flood the area
And rescue the Baron of Boil’s son
Lord Von Chill doesn’t feel very chill
In the Handy Halls
Radiant paint is lighting the way
Zel finds this detestable
Why do they feel this way?
Who was in charge of the snacks?
Is this related to the Blooming of Shrooming?
Grenada of Darmak wonders if this is VR
Maybe this is just Watta’s dream?
Eleanor is trying to figure this out
It could be a virtual or chemical influence
Watta provides some supplementary light
Set aside the why for now
All Will Not Be Well with Watta if it’s their fault
In a dream of the adventure they were creating
In a strange room off the handy halls
LVC’s sense of direction is pretty good
3 exits off this room
Or they could go back up
Below the SE corner of the attraction
Eleanor turns to the 3 Florences
Water / Sewage / Electrical Conduits above them
Grenada is looking for traps and speaker wire
That box might be a trap
Grenada is still confused how they got there
Are wires and speaker wire the same thing? No
Grenada can’t deactivate the trap bolts
Grenada opens the rusted lock
She finds speaker wire, some still wrapped in plastic
This wirecutter could be helpful
Someone took the soldering stuff
Let’s cautiously proceed further in
The surprise was to our north
Let’s go West or Northwest
West is furthest away from surprise
LVC will lead
A sealed door at the end of a hall
A surprise awaits them
Magical Tendril Thing (MTT)
Looks like they’re in wizard’s robes
A very powerful wizard
This surprise got a lot of a previous party
Watta recognizes this wizard from their past life
A very ambitious wizard
It would be really difficult to take this magical surprise on
Recon on the door
The door has taken a beating but hasn’t opened
I imagine there must be other doors
To the left is an opening
A stinky cistern drain
Back to the Northwest hallway
Watta doesn’t detect any magic
Grenada sees an exposed hole in the ground
A very simplistic surprise
Some sort of unnatural, unpleasant being, that is currently sleeping forever
Vindul left another magical thing beyond the pit
We can’t go much further on if we go NW
We could look in the hole
Masonary bricks on the wall have chipped paint
Some of these bricks have been moved recently
A hidden room behind that wall, with a secret spy
Grenada, please look down that hole
Another being pops out of the hole, and it’s a big surprise
A few rounds of swings with disadvantage
Rolling for Initiative
Eleanor is doing some nursing after characters take a beating
Zel is at the biggest disadvantage
LVC evades the FG
Watta dispatched the FG
Man, that was a tough simulated battle
Waste-Based Creation (WBC)
Let’s not look down that hole again
They don’t want to rest down here, that’s not good
Let’s get into the secret room and cast a sleep spell
Silently Moving Blocks
A surprise in this chamber
A little character is waiting for them
Is that a droid?
Former Florencian lying on a cot
Oh, it’s Mary Bear Repair, not Mary Blair Repair
Learning about this former Florencian
Zel talks to Mary Bear
Mary Bear tells their story
Mary Bear couldn’t help the Former Florencian because they were organic, not mechanical
Nunu, the Florencian
The Fate of the Other Adventuring Party
The Security Bot is there to protect Mary Bear
The other party wanted to flood the area
Mary Bear won’t all the ride and park to be flooded
They have a shared adversary in Vindul
Vindul took over part of the ride
Vindul isn’t ok with this detente anymore
All will be lost if they work with Vindul
Mary Bear wants to repair the ride
LVC wants to save them
We can decide later and work together for the time being
Let’s spitball ideas and rest here
Assess Potential Teamwork
Taking time and resting can be heroic
Mary Bear can cut the speaker wire to spec and return music to the ride
