Reviving your hero requires one simple move: finish your drink. That is the core rule that turns our table into pure chaos as we play Drinking Quest, the Dungeons and Dragons inspired drinking game built for party nights, bad decisions, and big laughs. Matt takes the dungeon master seat while Andy, Chris, Siobhan, and Rob roll for initiative, argue about house rules, and immediately discover why you do not bring heavy drinks to this game.

We’re playing the Belch of the Wild edition of Drinking Quest, a Zelda parody packed with monsters, coin rewards, saving throws, and a shop full of questionable upgrades. Sidekicks join the party too, boosting stats or dragging them down at the worst possible time. Along the way we deal with falling beers, vengeful chickens, living cocktails, and saving throws that somehow include self worth and sexual prowess. The mechanics are simple, but the stories that pop out of each card feel like a fast actual play one shot.

Welcome And Table Setup

Rob

Welcome to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe!

Matt

Welcome back everyone to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe. Today we are doing something a little different. We're going to play a drinking game called Drinking Quest. Ooh. I am going to be the dungeon master. That sounds just weird. Don't you mean Drunkenmaster? Drunkenmaster. Yes, yes. I like that better. We'll explain a little boar. Little boar?

Siobhan

He is. He's a drunken master.

How Drinking Quest Works

Rob

Drunkenmaster. Sioban sidekick. Thank you very much, the little boar. There we go. I went full sweet as chef. Yeah.

Matt

Before we continue on, I'm just going to have my friends introduce themselves so I don't have to talk for the next 30 seconds.

Rob

On this day, I am Hero Bella Mix. Also known as Rob. Hello. I hate this. I'm not doing a voice, and I'm Chris.

Siobhan

Hi, I'm Siobhan. I feel like now that Rob has done it, I feel like maybe I should, but I'm Doonworth.

Rob

Wait, wait, wait, wait. We gotta go back to Chris. Chris, you at least have to say your character name. You don't have to do a voice, but I'm Chuglocks.

Andy

Okay. And I am Andy, and I will be playing the part of Chilena.

Matt

Alright, right. So if you've never heard of Drinking Quest before, this is a role-playing Dungeons and Dragons loosely styled game. You pick your character from some pre-made options. You also get a signature drink, and we are playing the Belch of the Wild edition, which is obviously a little riff on the Zelda game. And for this newer edition, you also get to pink an annoying sidekick. So this is a new mechanic that we haven't played with. This group that is playing today has played this many times. We started playing back during the COVID-19 horrificness as a way to unwind on Saturday nights, and we quickly realized that this is not a game that you want to bring heavy drinks to. You will drink a lot. One of the main mechanics is to revive your character, you must finish your drink. The rules say you're only supposed to do that once per round. You can, as with any game, loosely interpret how that goes.

Rob

We did not follow those rules. No, not at all.

Matt

We'll play it the way we want. Yep. All right. That's right. House rules. Last time I played with this, my health potion was a bottle of Jaeger.

Rob

I also don't remember the voice I was doing for this girl, so sorry. That's not going to be continuous. My continuity is going to be different every time.

Andy

I think I was somewhere having a canon anymore.

Siobhan

All right.

Matt

I don't very Muppet sounding.

Andy

Thank you.

Characters And Sidekicks Introduced

Matt

So this is a dice game. Each of the players have a unique attack, a unique level of defense. There is a store that you can buy clothing and power-ups from. You can also buy the ability to make other people drink from that store as well. I'm going to read the prompting cards here. And Rob has already rolled. He will be first. Then we're going to go right down the line and we're going to see how this ends up.

Rob

Matt, would you like us to introduce our sidekicks as well? Yeah, let's go for it. Okay. Um, so Bellamyx has her lovely sidekick. Fleurhop!

Siobhan

I hate this.

Rob

Yeah. Good lord. Chuglocks is uh questing today with Bjorn Bloodpaw, which I wish, listeners, you could see this artwork. He's a weasel in full armor, and he looks amazing.

Siobhan

It's like red wall style. Yes, it's very cool. Uh Dilworth is hanging out with Boar Regard.

Rob

The Boar.

Siobhan

Yep.

Andy

Okay. And Chelina, the cold cleric, is rolling around with Barrel. The Beryl. Barrel of Pain.

Matt

Oh. Damn.

Rob

Very exciting.

Matt

So we're gonna hop right into it here. Rob, first card for you. Yes. Beers of the Kingdom. Beers of the Kingdom. Beers are falling from the sky. Incredible. Oh no. The glass from these beers is cutting holes in your body. Grudgingly fight off these falling beers. They have three health. Their attack is a D4 plus one. I will be rolling on behalf of the beers in this case. And the way this is supposed to work is we are both supposed to roll a D6 to see who attacks first.

Round One Starts With Chaos

Rob

I see. Okay. I have a D6. Go right ahead. Oh, well, that's good for me. That was a one. Spoiled by the couple. And a four for me. Spoiled by a microphone cable. Alright. I'm attacking first. D4 plus one. Here we are. That's a one. That's a two because that's a one plus one. So my attack is a two. Alright. Where's the math button, bruh? Get the hell out of here. Oh, he had it on the right page. We're talking about numbers.

Matt

New year. That one still cracks. I'm back on it. Here we go. Alright. D4 plus one.

Siobhan

Oh, that's a five.

Rob

Not gonna lie. I believe I'm dead. Well, this was fun. See you guys. So hold on.

Matt

Um, what does the bellow ale do for me again? That allows you to come back. Yes, you roll your uh you roll a d6 and you come back with whatever you roll on the d6 worth of health.

Rob

Oh interesting, even though my original health was something different.

Andy

I doubt you can go beyond your max.

Rob

Yeah, you could roll a five, but you would go to your max of four. Okay. Or maybe three. Well, my max health from the original card is a five, but I'm minus two HP from my sidekick. So is it just minus two from whatever I roll? Yeah. All right, so I'm gonna come back with my bell-o ale, please and thank you, with uh a one. Christ. All right. Um I'm alive. Do I also get an attack, or was that my turn to attack?

Matt

Zombie U gets an attack. Three!

Rob

A three. I'm dead. Which is a four.

Siobhan

Yes! Hooray!

Matt

Or three. That gives you 35 gold and two experience points. Oh my god. He's rich.

Siobhan

Just barely.

Rob

Two XP. Very good. I really wish we would have had the ones recorded from Oh, that would especially the one he did for your birthday.

Andy

Yeah, that was a good one.

Rob

We did, yeah.

Andy

I don't think that would translate well to podcast because all the inside jokes, but that was so good.

Matt

Yeah. There was, I did do a custom campaign of this for Chris's birthday. I did one also called Battle of the Bands. That was all like if you're a starting off. Did we play that? Yes, we did. Yeah.

Siobhan

We did not remember that. Probably because you died and you had to bring your baby back to life.

Matt

I don't know. No, he had to be because I definitely had cards that reference things that happened when Rob and I were bands in the city. That's fair. Alright, this card, Chris, and I'm so happy that as a fellow Zelda player, I get to read this one to you. Chickens! Solid. Just to see what happens, you swing your weapon at a chicken.

Rob

I would not be as foolish.

Matt

It is hilariously inconvenienced. You continue whacking away until all of his chicken buddies swarm you with beaky fury. These chicken give no clucks. The chickens are attacking with a D4. You and I need to roll to see who goes first.

Rob

What are we rolling? A D6 for a roll. Good Christ. Oh no, the chickens get a six. It's always the chickens. Oh Lord. Also, real quick, before we get too deep into this turn, I need every person that I've killed because I'm a necromancer and I can bring them back to fight in my stead. Yo, that's six. Alright, Matt, you're rolling first for attack. Three plus one, which is a four. Nope. This is just he's just a d4. Just a d4. Sorry, that's my bad. Okay, so I'm down to three left. The chickens again give no clucks. And I get a four plus one. That is a five damage. F your chickens.

Matt

F your chickens? Chickens dead. You get 25 coin and one experience point. Noise.

Rob

Yo, hit me with the how 25 golden how much XP? One.

Matt

Now remember, when you hit five XP in this game, you can buy the mead and make somebody else drink.

Rob

Oh.

Matt

Oh.

Rob

All right, Sivan, you're up.

Siobhan

I am. What's happening?

Matt

Mom Jeans Cuthuloo.

Siobhan

Amazing. Cthulhu?

Matt

Cthulhu, sorry.

Siobhan

I was like, Cthulhu.

Andy

Because I'm like, what?

Siobhan

Yeah. That was actually a decent attempt. To be fair, Cthulhu is a very difficult thing to say if you don't know that what it is. Mom jeans.

Matt

Cthulhu. You have never been so attracted to an otherworldly entity. Well a saving throw for sexual prowess. Oh. Success. You get to know each other really well and you find 50 coins in her jeans. Add one pair of mom jeans to your character sheet, which might come in handy later. Failure, you lose your grip on your sanity and lose negative one to all of your saving throws. You are not sure if it's the genes or the cosmic horror.

Siobhan

So what is the saving throw? Tell me. Tell me how that goes.

Matt

So the saving throw, you pick up all three dice, the six, the four, the six, and the ten, and you must roll under the number that you have for sexual prowess on your character card. You must roll equal to or less than.

Siobhan

My sexual prowess is 12 because I have a minus two from Beauregard, who's killing me over here. All right. That's a 14.

Matt

Negative ghostwriter.

Siobhan

So that's a no. So I'm sorry. I lose. What do I hire?

Matt

You lose a negative one on all of your saving throws. They're all down one point. In this game, that's actually a pretty shitty thing to have.

Siobhan

I love a mom jean. That's such a bummer.

Matt

Well, squid in mom jeans. Andy. Um, Chilena, thank you. Sorry? Chilena? We got for you a calamity cocktail. Ooh. Mixing a drink. You're surprised to see it's taken on a life of its own. It was a bad idea to steal ingredients from the forbidden bar fridge. This is the worst drink you have ever made. This thing's got four health and attacks with a D6.

Andy

Okay. So we're rolling a D6 to see.

Siobhan

Oh, that's a one.

Andy

The villain has gotten a one. Alright, I can I can beat that. You hope. We've got a six. We're starting strong.

Siobhan

There you go.

Matt

You must roll first. What is your attack over there? My attack is a d6. Right in the middle. Three. I got one health left over here. I'm rolling with a d6 also. That's a one. That's a one. Alright. So I take one hit point.

Andy

Yep. Correct.

Rob

And a one gets you a win here.

Andy

Well, so I win.

Matt

This is gonna be a six. Four.

Siobhan

Alright.

Saving Throws And Weird Encounters

Matt

That'll give you 55 coin and one experience point. Coming back around to Rob. No one has used their special drink yet. Right. Rob, this is a balloon ride. Doesn't sound so horrible. You go for hot air balloon ride. Well a saving throw-up for tolerance to see if you can hold in all this wine you've been drinking. Success, you share some wine with a pigeon who returns a small bag containing 40 coins, and you get one experience for not dying. Failure, you get air sick, but also at the same time get sick from drinking too much wine, lose 4 HP from throwing up and vertigo. 11 and my tolerance is 13. Woo! I win. You do win indeed. That is 40 coins and 1 XP for you. Nice.

Siobhan

Rude.

Matt

Okay. Awesome. Moving over to Chris. And keeping in mind the shop is available for you if you'd like to buy anything. The card here, helpful old man. And it looks like uh Rome Bosforama's hayroll from the beginning of Breath of the Wild. Yes, sir. Um out of nowhere, a helpful old man shows up with uh two four packs. Uh he tries to give you a useful tutorial on how to drink beer, but you hate tutorials and fight him for his beer. Gain a bellow ale if you defeat this old man. He's got three health, he's rolling with a d6, no defense. We roll in for first. We're rolling for first.

Siobhan

It's a five.

Chris

Man.

Siobhan

I have a five as well.

Matt

Alright. What happens with ties? Uh actually they go to the hero.

Siobhan

Oh, there you go.

Matt

Oh heck yeah. Alright.

Siobhan

Attack.

Matt

Slap one. So you take two. I take two. I can't say it.

Rob

I take two.

Siobhan

Two.

Rob

I'm still at one HP. Second attack. Yeah.

Siobhan

Two.

Rob

I'm dead. Hooray. Take that, old man. One question. What does the what does defense do? It would minus his at his attacks.

Matt

Yeah, so if I like I rolled a six, I would only do five damage.

Rob

How high is your defense that you didn't pay attention to? One. Okay. Just one. Alright. So I still would have died. You would have died, yeah. Yeah. No, we're we're good. I just I just wanted to know. And he has didn't call the arrows. Thank you. Other than the the whatever ale that I just got, did I get any gold or XP? Okay. Jesus.

Siobhan

Okay. Good Christ.

Matt

Disturbing on multiple levels. Okay.

Rob

My guy. Other than the ale I earned, do I earn any gold or XP from slapping an old man?

Matt

Yeah. You get 25 gold and two XP for two XP. Two. That's a lot of XP. Which if we're going to do it. If we're going by game lore, is you technically slapped the ghost of an old man, but we will try two. That's okay. Still counts. Siobhan. Yeah. Rum raccoon. Ooh. An adorable forest creature has stolen a bottle of your favorite homemade rum. You are not a fan of raccoons, but they're creepy little human-like hands. They're just the worst.

Siobhan

Yeah. What? So I have to fight it?

Matt

You are?

Rob

Uh he rolled a four.

Siobhan

He's got a four.

Matt

And I'm fighting with a D4.

Siobhan

Alright. I need a D4.

Matt

That is not a D4. That is a D10. We'll triangle.

Siobhan

Alright.

Matt

For the listeners at home. That's a four plus one is a five. Yeah.

Siobhan

Alright, I get listen. I don't I'm not here for animal cruelty, but he was being a bitch.

Matt

Alright.

Siobhan

Now what?

Matt

What do I get? You get 20 coins and one experience point. Noise.

Siobhan

Money. Other than that, Mom Jean's Cthulhu.

Andy

Chilena.

Siobhan

Secret?

Andy

Sorry.

Matt

Oh what? Wow. That is her name. Okay. Secret recipe. You make camp and decide to try out Mom's recipe for deep fried beer pints. Roll a saving throw for smarts. If you're successful, you gain a delicious deep fried bellow ale, which will restore you to maximum HP. Also gain one XP for being a master chef.

Rob

How does one deep fry an ale?

Siobhan

We're not asking.

Andy

It's a secret.

Chris

Okay.

Andy

Secret recipe. Alright, so tell me again for a saving throw. You roll all three. Roll all three.

Siobhan

And it has to be, and it's for smarts. So it has to be under less than your smarts.

Andy

So I'm trying to get under 10. Uh nine. God speed. The barrel. Barrel brings me down. So eight.

Matt

We are at eleven.

Siobhan

Yep.

Matt

Failure. The glass explodes in your face. This was ill-advised from the beginning. Your mom was hardcore. Lose six HP. Oh good God.

Siobhan

Oh my god. Are you still alive?

Andy

I'm good. How are you alive? I have nine. Wow. Good God. This guy started with seven and barrel the barrel gives me a plus two to HP. Oh, they okay. Yeah. I took six, you said? You took six. All right. Can I like a champ? Use barrel the barrel's ability, which is once per game. Barrel can protect your hero and avoid any damage from an attack. Does that count as an attack?

Signature Drinks And Near Deaths

Matt

Yeah, that would have counted as an attack, yeah. Alright. I'm gonna I'm gonna use barrel the barrel's ability.

Siobhan

Okay, nice. Ah, six HP.

Matt

Well done.

Siobhan

Intense.

Matt

Yes. There was a hilarious moment Chris and I were discussing earlier. Him and I played the very first, so there's multiple versions of this game. We played the very first one. He had we had no idea what we were doing. And we came across a card that was basically rolled to avoid a loose plank on a pirate ship. And Chris took the plank to the face, killed him like right off the bat in the first game we played, and it was very cartoonish and hilarious.

Rob

Well, similar to Rob, this game, I think it was the first card we drew, and we thought, oh, it's just a pirate board. It'll be no problem. And then it did six damage, it was ridiculous.

Matt

Yeah. Yeah.

Rob

Alright, Rob, you're up. I'm ready.

Matt

Mead meeple. Everyone knows that a meeple is a cross between a marshmallow and a weasel. One of the meeples in this forest clearing has gotten into the mead and is attacking other meeples. Mash the mean mead meeple. Well, that was hard to say. That was a lot of literature.

Rob

How many uh no. I'll play it back later. How many HP does this meeple have? He got two. Two? He does have one defense. One defense. Okay. I would like to enact my necromancer's nectar and have the Beers of the Kingdom destroy the meeple. Okay. Okay. So the Beers of the Kingdoms come back with their three HP points. Um I'm still rolling a D4 plus one for my attack. Does does my character's defense do anything for this?

Matt

Nope.

Rob

Okay. Um, if this dies, I also die. Whoa. Like that is that is the power that I have. If my monster dies, though, I die. Asbella!

Matt

Well, I just rolled a one, so you're gonna get to attack first. I have rolled a four.

Siobhan

Matt rolled a one, so.

Rob

Alright, Beers of the Kingdom. Don't let me down. Roll uh one.

Matt

Roll uh one. Oh nice. That's a dead meeple. The poor meeple. That's 40 coins and one experience point for you.

Siobhan

Oh. Does that guy stay resurrected now?

Rob

No, I can only use that one time. Okay. Who's gonna shop? I have the shop. May I buy on this turn or may I wait until the next turn? You're supposed to buy at the beginning of your turn. Okay. Passing the show. Oh, is it beginning? I thought it was end of turn. Beginning of turn. Oh, okay. That's fine.

Siobhan

Do you need to buy something, Chris? No, I don't know.

Rob

I'm sorry.

Siobhan

I'm sorry. Chug locks.

Rob

No, I don't I don't have enough money for what I want yet.

Siobhan

Okay.

Rob

I want to get a piece of armor, but I need 75. Alright, what do we got, Matt?

Matt

We got treasure chest.

Rob

It's a mimic, I know it.

Matt

You open a treasure chest and find a perfectly good meat skewer. Roll a saving throw for self-worth.

Rob

Okay.

Matt

Success. You put the meat skewer in your pocket to be eaten later, which can restore up to 5 HP. Failure. You accidentally stab yourself in the face with this cure and lose 5 HP. It is a 10?

Various

Yes.

Rob

Okay. Saving throw of self-worth. And I have 10. Here we go. Is that? I thought that the that's an eight, right? Oh balls. I rolled 11. You have stabbed yourself in the face with the meat skewer. Of course I did.

Matt

And you lose five points.

Rob

Alright, I'm gonna roll a D6 uh roll drinking my my ale. Because I died.

Siobhan

What is it? Oh. The bellow's ale.

Rob

Yeah. And I get one back. I'm with you, Rob here. Hey. Yes, I am currently sitting in a one with my regular character.

Matt

Zombified Chris. Not bad, not bad. Siobhan, for you we have a whiskey guardian. So for anybody who's played Breath of the Wild, it's it's the Guardian from Breath of the Wild. You just had to test the limits of where you could explore and found a huge boss that is much too strong for you to fight. But you're feeling pretty good after drinking some homemade potato vodka, so maybe you can pull this off. The irony of you drinking a vodka in club soda right now. Indeed. So, six health points, and this thing's rolling a d8. We got no defense.

Siobhan

Good God.

Matt

I wish I had the sound effect for the guardian attacking you.

Siobhan

We do need you have to add that in post, maybe.

Rob

Lucky for all of you, I can't roll to attack first. But that means you win.

Siobhan

Yes, I win. Heroes win. I win.

Rob

Heroes win. I need the D8, though. D eight this way.

Matt

Assuming Siobhan does not roll a six right off the bat.

Siobhan

I need a G4, and I'm doing it.

Matt

I got one health point left. Wow.

Chris

Wow.

Matt

Brutal.

Rob

And with one mighty swing, the whiskey guardian. Oh, I'm dead. There's an eight.

Siobhan

God.

Matt

What's your sidekick do? Uh you must technically finish your drink. Well, I do revive Zysa.

Siobhan

Once per game, I can run away from a losing battle. Peace out.

Rob

Oh later.

Siobhan

Peace out. Do I still take the HP hit or no? I'm running away. I'm good. Peace out. Peace out. Thanks, Beauregard. This game used to be a lot more brutal.

Andy

You see me escaping? All right. Yes. Hey, can you remind me what does the um the signature drink do?

Matt

The signature drink you can use once per game. It is like your special power up power.

Siobhan

Yeah, it's whatever it says.

Rob

Oh, that's what this card is.

Siobhan

That's what that one is. Yeah. And it tells you what you can do.

Round One Wrap And Reset

Andy

Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. So my signature drink is. The unicorn brandy. Which once per quest uh no, this is not for the right character. Oh I thought it was. Math. Blonde hair girl. I told you, white hair girl. White hair girl.

Siobhan

He needs the frosty brew.

Rob

Yeah. Frosty brew. Hold please.

Andy

Now I've got a frosty brew. That's a big drink. Once per quest, Chelina can either heal herself three hit points or heal all players one hit point.

Rob

Oh my god.

Siobhan

She's a cleric. That's her deal.

Rob

Yep. Will you be gracious?

Matt

So this is Gary, a fearless lich. Mathematically, it's better to heal four points than just three. Gary, a fearless lich. Gary is a bare minimum lich that does just enough to still qualify as a monster you have to fight. He has two HP and a D6 attack. Gary's a basic lich.

Siobhan

Gary. Oh my god. He before he came, he got a PSL.

Andy

Yeah, definitely likes pumpkin spice latte.

Siobhan

He loves Cachue, Pepe, and Caesar salads. And Chris.

Matt

Roll the two.

Andy

I got a three. You're up first. Woo woo. Alright, how much hit points you got? Two. Two. Oh, you're about to murder. Don't roll a one. Oh, that was close to a one.

Matt

It's a six.

Andy

Oh.

Matt

That'll be 40 gold for you. Hot and one experience point. All right. Peace out, game.

Andy

I'm up to 95 gold.

Rob

Wait, can I ask? Did you did you enact your frosty brew or no? I did not. Okay. Is everybody down at least one? Well, there I'm at one level. I'm there at one HP each.

Siobhan

So I'm good, but did you just refill?

Rob

Oh no, you ran away. I remember now.

Matt

Oh, yeah, I know I ran away.

Rob

Yep.

Matt

So that is the end of round one.

Rob

All right. Oh my god.

Matt

Yeah.

Various

All right.

Matt

Oh. We wrecked them. You will heal back to full strength.

Siobhan

To full HP. Are saving throws still affected?

Matt

Your savers saving throw are still the same as they were. They do not restore. Poop.

Siobhan

Okay.

Shopping Phase And Quest Two

Matt

I'm gonna I'm gonna buy a horny helmet before we do this, though. All right. We are on to round two. So quest two. So for drinking quest, each overall campaign has three mini quests in between. We are now going on to two. The monsters get harder. Their defense goes through our ditch.

Siobhan

Well, okay.

Matt

Good lord.

Siobhan

Jesus Christ.

Matt

That's aggressive. That stays in. That's yeah, that's staying in. So there it is.

Siobhan

Well, clearly it sounds like it would. What a good time we have here. It was a good job.

Matt

All right. So along with that, all of your health goes back up to max, and your special drinks get restored for this round as well. Now, there are some that are indicated that they're one-time powers for the entire game. So Rob had one of those, I believe. That's now gone.

Siobhan

I also had that. So my running away from a losing battle is only once per game.

Matt

Way to save that for the really hard creatures coming at you right now. Good job.

Siobhan

Well, I mean, mine was pretty rough. Trade future proof. That guardian was rough.

Rob

All right, Rob. Before I go, I would like to use my coins. Welcome, traveler. I see you have coins to spend.

Various

Oh.

Rob

Yes. Yes. I have 105 coins. Welcome to my shop. I have 150. I have 115 coins. I'm sorry. Jesus God. I have 115 coins. We're talking about numbers. And I'm actually unfortunately five short of what I wanted to buy, which was the sexy staff. So I'm going to go with uh instead the horny helmet for plus one of defense and minus 75 coins.

Matt

Okay. So, Rob, your card, and I'm going to try my best to get through this without laughing. How the sausage is made. Yeah, tell me about it. You open the wrong door and see the secret to how wieners are made. It chills you to your bone the bone of your soul. As it turns out, soul bones are also an ingredient in wieners. You must now fight man-made horrors beyond your comprehension. How many HP? Only two, but attacks with a D8.

Rob

Oh shit. Okay. Roll to see who goes first. That's on the ground. It's on the ground. Or is it? I don't know if it counts. It's a four on the ground, but I think it needs to remain on the tack on the table. That's fair.

Siobhan

No, yeah, we want it. Yeah. Three. Three. That's even better.

Andy

Yeah, pull on it. Spit on it.

Siobhan

Ew. Six. Yeah, baby! Disgusting. And now it has COVID.

Rob

Rob is fighting the sausage. And I now have two defense. Thank you very much. And here we go. That is a three plus one. That is a four.

Matt

The sausage is dead.

Rob

Yes. And I will take that because my necromancer nectar has refreshed as well. And the sausage may come back later. You don't know.

Andy

What is this? Oh, this quest.

Rob

Yes, I got another XP, which now takes me to five XP. Uh Matt's dying to my left.

Siobhan

Matt died and I got 25 gold.

Matt

I can't. I couldn't process the next title of this. I wasn't expecting it. But the the quest two is called.

Rob

Use a weird voice when you read this, please.

Siobhan

Can you weird it up?

Matt

The quest two is called the wiener factory.

Siobhan

Ew.

Andy

Go on.

Siobhan

That's the best part is that. That voice. That voice was only factory. That was only kind of weird.

Matt

I can do this if you want. Covered in wieners. You walk by a shelf full of perfectly stacked wieners, but slip on some loose gelatin casing. Bro. The impact from the fall causes the wieners to comically fall on you. You need to fight your way out. Well, thank God it's comical.

Rob

I love how these always make you the stupidest decision maker in the whole world. Matt rolls a five for attack first. Oh, it for that you, bro.

Siobhan

Yeah. Yeah.

Rob

Chris gets a two. Hang on. I'm gonna use my special power, which allows me to re-roll for initiative. Roll uh one. Once per game, win win initiative. No, I just win initiative.

Siobhan

Oh, there you go. So you won. Okay. You get it.

Rob

It's Bjorn. My weasel. It's Bjorn. Yeah. Uh what how much health do you have? Three. Hell yeah. All right, here we go. A six! Yeah.

Matt

Suck it, Wieners. 30 gold, one XP for Chris. 30 gold, one XP. Alright. Man. Yeah. This is depressing. I need somebody to dive. I'm very concerned if the next card is gonna be another wiener card. It's gonna be me. What is going on?

Siobhan

Okay.

Matt

Wiener machine. Great. The off button is jammed on the wiener machine. Wieners are whipping everywhere at extreme speeds. Find this wicked wiener whirler.

Siobhan

Oh wicked wiener whirler. That's where I went in college.

Matt

The wiener machine has six HP and attacks with a D6.

Siobhan

I in the hell a four.

Rob

We always found that the second round in this game is way too difficult for Wiener. Three frick. Oh yeah, you attack with a D6. The Wiener Machine hits you with a four.

Siobhan

Alright, a four. I'm at a five, so fine. I don't.

Matt

Oh, this thing also has one defense. So six health and a defense. Good God.

Chris

Oh.

Siobhan

Well, I'm not. I haven't attacked yet. Let me just look at my lemons. That sounded like a thing. No, it's not. It's I have I have a bag of lemons. Maybe step out of the room and do that in front of it. Stop it. I'm gonna see what I need to do with these lemons, and then we'll we'll figure it out. That's a two, and I get a three, but I can use a lemon and it deals an automatic point of damage. What's your HP?

Matt

Six plus defense of one.

Siobhan

All right, well.

Matt

So that is the three. I take two. I have four HP left.

Siobhan

Well, no, because I have four lemons. You wouldn't know.

Matt

You're gonna throw multiple lemons. I sure can.

Siobhan

I could use all the lemons.

Andy

And I would think if it's automatically damage, that would scale negates the defense.

Rob

Agreed.

Siobhan

Yeah, it says automatic point of damage.

Rob

And you're um but you still wouldn't you still wouldn't defeat him because that's four, but he has three. Oh, you have a plus one. Yes, I have a plus one.

Siobhan

And actually, no, actually wait! I have a plus two because Warregard gives you a plus two, so that's a four. So I actually only have to use three lemons.

Rob

How much HP?

Siobhan

Like just well, he took me down to one.

Rob

Oh, he took you down to one.

Siobhan

Yeah.

Rob

I think it's dead.

Siobhan

I killed you.

Matt

All right. You get 60 coin and three XP for a whole lot. You have one lemon.

Siobhan

I still have one lemon.

Matt

So, Siobhan, do you have five XP now?

Siobhan

Hold on. What how many XP did I get?

Matt

Three.

Siobhan

No, I have four.

Matt

I have five. You can make somebody else drink if you would like. For what purpose? What does that do for me? It makes you happy.

Siobhan

You get the meeple.

Rob

Oh. Well, okay. In the future, we should do that. We'll come back around to my turn and I'll ask my question.

Siobhan

Can I check how many coins did I get from that? Please.

Rob

60.

Siobhan

Oh, thank you.

Rob

Zero. Good gravy.

Matt

Chelena. Yes. Nice buns. They are. Yeah. You have some really nice buns. True. Soon everyone wants them, and you have to fight off a swarm of random people who are trying to grab your buns. Keep your hands off my buns, you stream. Wow. This is a creature card. So four HP, attacks with a D6, no defense. Alright. See who's going first.

Siobhan

Oh, also, I'm just calling out that you have this frosty brew. And so if you wanted to heal all of us, or me, that would be great. All the rest of them are fine.

Rob

That's a one for the monster.

Siobhan

Okay, go ahead.

Rob

What are you rolling? Well, it doesn't matter because even if it is a one, the hero tag goes to the hero.

Andy

We got a two. All right. Alright. Here we go. What are you attacking? Roll away. We are attacking with a D6. Alright. Oh. Just a one.

Siobhan

It's a one.

Andy

Diaper stream.

Matt

Alright, I'm down to three. That's a two.

Siobhan

All right.

Andy

I have a defensive one, so I only take one. One. It's a medieval slap fight. Oh, five.

Siobhan

Five. You did?

Matt

I did. Kicked him right in the buns. You got all the bones.

Siobhan

Right between the buns.

Meeples Drinks And More Wieners

Matt

I don't want none because you got buns. You get 40 coins and one XP. Alright. Alright. So now.

Andy

Who all is down at least one hit point?

Rob

Uh currently I'm not down any.

Siobhan

Yeah, no, you don't. It's just me that's suffering. We'll hold them because I'll. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. We're down one. We'll hold. Yep. Yep. It's just me being sad.

Rob

Alright. Now, before my turn, Matthew, my 5 XP gets me what? A card?

Siobhan

No, the meatball.

Matt

It's an interlude for Rob's series of questions. You can, yes, you get the meeple so you can make somebody drink.

Siobhan

You gotta read the whole paragraph. But you get like that.

Matt

I'll give you the summation. You can pick that up, give it to somebody, and then the next round, next quest we do, they're supposed to be able to give it to somebody else to make them to drink. It starts around Robin type thing.

Rob

Alright, your your drink looks close to finished. Siobhan, I meeple you.

Siobhan

Oh, you're gonna help her? No, it doesn't help. It's bad, isn't it?

Matt

No, it just makes you drink. That's the point of the cake. That's fine. That's why we're playing it.

Andy

I think there should be something more mechanical to that.

Rob

I know. That's that's why I was saying we gotta figure something out for next time.

Siobhan

Scary. Oh! He has two faces. He's like, err. And then he's like, err. Harvey Face. What did you do with scary face? That's so good. Those are so good.

Andy

I love Pete Holman's. All right. Scary face. Shabon finished your dream face.

Siobhan

So making them chug, but now that player can give it out next quest. Okay. Good to know.

Matt

Oh no. Andy. No, it's me. No, it's not Andy. Andy just Weenie. You mix up a delicious wiener drink. Roll a saving throw for tolerance. Success. This drink was perfectly mixed, and you feel godlike. Your skin turns a sallow pink, and you gain plus one natural armor from all the wiener nutrients. Ew. Failure. Your insides don't agree with this drink at all. You start throwing up various animal parts, and you're saying a saving throw of your choice is reduced by no, that's a six.

Rob

And I have a talent of 13.

Siobhan

Oh, hell yeah. All right, good job.

Rob

Is great. All right, so what am I gaining? I'm gaining defense. You gain one natural armor from all the wiener nutrients that you have. Is it defense? Defense. Defense. Okay. Thank you.

Siobhan

I love how he's so concerned about that. And we're all like, Wiener powers! Like, you get the wiener nutrients. He's like, can you guys tell me what's actually happening?

Matt

That's it. You get plus one from all the wiener nutrients you just ate. Wait, wait, wait. I get no coin from the wieners? No, you had you just drank a wiener teeny and got all the nutrients from the wiener card, bruh.

Siobhan

You have to get on OnlyFans to get coins from the Wieners. Okay? We all know the deal. All right?

Rob

It's only cans in this game, please, and thank you.

Siobhan

I have lemons.

Rob

Only lemons.

Siobhan

The fact that wiener nutrients are not in the new dietary guidelines was a big miss, everybody. Flipped the pyramid. They flipped the pyramid, but they didn't include wiener nutrients.

Matt

Oh, Chris. What's happening? I'm sure that they have.

Siobhan

It's beef tallow wiener nutrients.

Matt

Chris, for you, we have the wien holder. Okay. All right. All right. Behold an eyeball. Ew. Creature with eight wiener stalks with an eyeball at each end. It shoots you for the genet blast. I looked at the illustration.

Siobhan

I need to see it.

Rob

He's just not prepared. It looks like Krang with a bunch of dicks coming out of his head.

Siobhan

No.

Andy

Oh, that's a beholder.

Siobhan

It's a bewiener.

Andy

A dick holder.

Siobhan

What is it called? I'm sorry.

Rob

The wean holder. There it is.

Siobhan

There you go. Andy with the actual DD knowledge on this one.

Rob

What is happening? Alright.

Siobhan

You're being attacked by the ween holder.

Matt

By the ween holder. Alright, roll for initiative. Go ahead. A living satchel of Richards is what is attacking you right now.

Rob

Alright, I also rolled a three, so. AKA a bag of dicks.

Siobhan

A satchel of Richards.

Rob

Alright, you're taking uh two damage.

Matt

Alright, that takes me down to four, and I'm attacking with a D6. I also oh no, I'm sorry. That takes me down to three because I have defensive one.

Chris

Two.

Matt

Two.

Rob

Okay, I'm down to four. Ha pow!

Beholders Wizards And Cthulhu Rolls

Matt

You take five. I take five. You're dead. I'm dead. Yeah. 30 coins and two XP. I have yet to kill anybody and it's very frustrating. 30 coins.

Rob

Oh fuck. I meant to buy a fucking thing, that thing. Sorry. You wanted to buy a wien holder? No. No? No. No, I wanted to buy No. Okay, moving on.

Siobhan

Get out. No, it's too late. I can't. You have to do it the next turn.

Matt

Shabon. Yeah. The Wiener Mancer. Oh. That sounds cool. You are accosted by a terrifying wiener wizard. You watch in horror as she gathers random objects from around the room, turning them into wieners. She violently hurls the wieners at you, but you can only keep eating them for so long. Jesus.

Siobhan

Aw, that's fair. Listen. There's a threshold, okay? One defense. We can't run train for a long time. It's like the Midas cuck. One D. We're screaming. Who's watching? Who's watching? Who's watching?

Matt

I don't roll for it next time.

Siobhan

That bitch is watching. Matt is so uncomfortable. It's great. No, that was not real. No, that wasn't. That was not a good thing. It's as real as anything else I've rolled. Throw that like that bitch is throwing wieners. Let's get it. No.

Various

Three. How does he do this?

Siobhan

He throws the dice. Every time. Inconvenient.

Andy

Hey listeners, if you're a 3D printer. If you're a 3D printer, Matt needs a dice tower.

Siobhan

Yeah, he does. Look it. Okay, for real, without Rob screaming. Matt does need a dice. Maybe the listeners there.

Andy

Yeah, dice tray. That's fine. I'll bring the dice tray. Maybe the listeners out there does 3D printing or something like that. If you can make a custom beer bottle-shaped dice tower for the city, please don't make it a wiener universe.

Siobhan

Alright, I'm attacking first.

Andy

Okay. Shavana took it.

Siobhan

D4 plus two. That's a four. I'm sorry. I don't know any of your stats.

Matt

I'm dead.

Siobhan

Oh, great.

Matt

That big depressing.

Siobhan

Throwing wieners at me.

Matt

You get 40 coin and two XP. Andy.

Siobhan

Yeah.

Matt

Sexy Cuthaloo. Oh. Cthulhu. Almost almost.

Siobhan

You got it. You got it. No, that was good. That was good. You did it.

Matt

Your newest employee is taking it easy in the break room, rolling a saving throw for sexual prowess. Cuthaloo. Success. Sexy that creature grabs a tiny wiener on a toothpick and silently puts it in its mouth. A saving throw of your choice increases by five.

Rob

This is quest two, electric Cuthaloo. Electric Cuthaloo.

Andy

Alright, so I need to make a saving throw for sexual prowess.

Siobhan

Yeah, so you have to draw. Yeah, you want to do a thing.

Andy

Hand me the dice. Old. Coming your way. I got an eleven. My sexual prowess is only a seven.

Matt

Oh. Failure. After a heated encounter, you can never use the break room. Again, your saving throws are reduced by two from exhaustion.

Siobhan

All of them.

Matt

All of them. Brutal.

Rob

Woof. Alright. In the immortal words of Kevin McAllister.

Matt

Woof. What do I got? Something you've never had in your life. A suggestive thought. You pick up a wiener with a fork and think of a funny joke. Roll a saving throw for sexual prowess.

Chris

Oh.

Rob

Wait a minute. I'm not gonna lie. This does sound like Rob right now. I hate you all. That is good. 10. And my sexual prowess is a 14. Suck it.

Matt

What do I win?

Siobhan

That also sounds like rap.

Matt

Think of a pretty funny stand-up comedy routine. You're able to quit your job at the wiener factory to pursue your passion, gain 60 coins.

Siobhan

Oh.

Matt

Yeah.

Chris

Alright.

Andy

How's everybody doing health wise?

Matt

I'm good. I'm okay. I'm not gonna lie. You're caring of checking in every once in a while.

Andy

I'm a good hero, or maybe.

Siobhan

I know. That's a good clerics role.

Rob

Rob, are you down at all? No. Okay, you're at your max health. No, I I one hit the only monster that I've faced, and then the other things were both saving throws. So Chris. Wait, wait, pause. Yep. I'm buying some uh shit.

Matt

Chris is going shopping.

Rob

Fortunately, I don't have enough for the sassy saber, but I'm gonna buy a uh tipsy tunic for 75, giving me plus one D. Alright, go for it, Matt. Contest of champions.

Matt

You enter a hot dog eating contest, roll a saving throw for self-worth. You want me to read? Okay, success. You had you had it inside you, and now you also have 47 hot dogs inside you. Gain one maximum HP, you are the wiener. Failure to joke on hot dog number 34. A kindly ogre with a pension for emergency preparedness rescues you. Lose one maximum HP from great big ogre hugs.

Rob

Alright, here we go. You said this is self-worth. Yeah, you need less than 10 or equal to, right?

Siobhan

Yeah, you guys.

Rob

Oh my god. I'd like to point out when you guys told me I should roll a D10, I had rolled a four total. No, and now both times rolling with the D8, I've gotten uh schlapped.

Matt

Well, you have choked on hot dog 34, lose one maximum HP.

Rob

Alright, well, that's just maximum, so it's not gonna affect me right now. Correct, correct. Siobhan?

Siobhan

Wait, I have a question about weapons.

Matt

Yes.

Siobhan

So if I on this shop card, it tells me the cost of the thing. And then it says damage.

Matt

Yep.

Siobhan

Does that mean I roll that damage for the actual weapon in addition to my thing?

Rob

No. Or it's a new weapon. So then But I think you have to stay within your weapon class. Like I'm a staff user. Chris has a sword. She's in the produce weapon class. So I could just buy another satchel of lemons.

Siobhan

Okay. I'm gonna buy the giggle juice gloves for plus one defense.

Rob

There you go. Okay.

Siobhan

Hee hee.

Rob

I heard you.

Siobhan

And then I'm gonna buy also so sorry. Um I'm gonna buy the another bellow ale because I need that.

Matt

Yep. All right. You're at one health currently. All right. So You are fighting the sodium dragon. The dragon is so bad for you, yet so delicious. You can't stay away. You engage in battle with the sodium dragon in the hopes of getting one good salty lick. Five HP, attacks with a D8, one defense. Shit.

Siobhan

Alright, well.

Matt

I rolled a five, by the way.

Siobhan

I didn't see you roll that five, but that's fine. I trust you.

Matt

It was a while ago.

Siobhan

I got a three, so you go first. Alright. He rolls a D eight. Fuck. Five. Well, I'm dead. So technically, because I can use your drinky despawn. I can bellow ale it up.

Matt

Alright.

Siobhan

Roll a D6, yes.

Matt

Roll D6. Here, let me hear that. Let me have that again.

Siobhan

A five, which is my max HP.

Matt

Alright. She's gonna attack me again.

Siobhan

A one plus a two.

Matt

Siobhan

Three. And I have one hoo. So a three.

Final Battles And XP Tally

Matt

Wait, you're gonna be a little bit more. Oh no, I'm sorry.

Matt

I'm down to I can't math right now. Yeah, negative three. You're down to three. Yep, there we go. Because he has one defense.

Siobhan

A four. So that puts me down to three. Because I have a defense of one, so I only take three. So I have two balls. God, what a battle.

Matt

Come on. There's an epic bat. Come on.

Siobhan

We haven't lost yet. A two plus a two is a four. You're dead. I am dead. Yay!

Chris

Rob

He's Mr. Peanus. Peanus.

Siobhan

Okay.

Matt

The Sausages thinks he's better than you. You're not gonna take this, are you? You engage in some minor class warfare with an upright walking sausage. He's got three HP and is fighting with a D6, no defense.

Andy

Alright. I have a five. You're attacking first.

Rob

No, go, go.

Matt

Nope. I rolled a six. Oh god. Dead silence spot put your side in the face.

Siobhan

Slap. That's it. That's it.

Matt

So Rich Ames, bitch. Randomly, you get nine coins. What? Nine coins and two XP. Oh. Two XP is worth it. Yeah. I mean, I guess. And I believe that brings us to the end of our game today. Now I need to ask all of you how many XP do you have? The person with the most XP is the winner. Cinco.

Rob

I have my max of three.

Chris

No, no.

Rob

No, your XP.

Siobhan

Oh, XP? Not HP.

Rob

Oh, uh, I had five, but I used them.

Siobhan

For the meeple. So you have to do that.

Rob

So I have zero now? You have zero and then you're not. Once I cash them in, yeah, I have zero XP.
