00:01Something is coming.

00:03Sipping hungry for blood.

00:05A shadow grows in the wall behind you,

00:07swallowing you in darkness.

00:09It is almost here.

00:11What is it?

00:12What if it's the Demogorgon?

00:13Oh, Jesus, we're so screwed if it's the Demogorgon.

00:16It's not the Demogorgon.

00:17An army of trogolets charging to the chamber.

00:20Trogolets!

00:21Told ya.

00:25Wait a minute.

00:27Did you hear that?

00:29That sound.

00:31Boom.

00:32Boom.

00:33Boom.

00:34Boom!

00:35That didn't come from the trogolets.

00:37No, that came from something else.

00:42The Demogorgon!

00:43We're a deep shit.

00:45Will, your action!

00:46I don't know.

00:47Fireball him!

00:48I didn't have to roll a 13 or higher.

00:49You're risky.

00:50Cast a protection spell.

00:51Don't be a pussy.

00:52Fireball him!

00:53Cast protection.

00:54The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering.

00:56It stops towards you.

00:57Boom!

00:58Fireball him!

00:59Are we a stop?

01:00Boom!

01:01It was an anger!

01:02Fireball!

01:03And fireball!

01:04And fireball!

01:05Oh shit.

01:06Where'd it go?

01:07Where is it?

01:08I don't know.

01:09Is it a 13?

01:10I don't know.

01:11Where is it?

01:12Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

01:13Where is it?

01:14Did you find it yet?

01:15No, I can't find it.

01:16Hey!

01:17Is it a 13?

01:18Mom, we're in the middle of a campaign.

01:19You mean the end?

01:2015 after.

01:21No!

01:22Oh my god!

01:23Oh, you idiot!

01:24I have to go!

01:25Mom, wait!

01:26Just 20 more minutes!

01:27It's a school night, Michael.

01:28I just put Holly to bed.

01:29You can finish next weekend.

01:30But then I ruined the flow!

01:31Michael...

01:32I'm serious, Mom.

01:33The campaign took two weeks to plan.

01:35How was I supposed to know it was gonna take 10 hours?

01:38You've been playing for 10 hours?

01:40Dad, don't you think there's 20 more minutes?

01:42I think you should listen to your mother.

01:44I know.

01:45I know.

01:46Dang dumb piece of junk.

01:49Oh!

01:50I got it!

01:51Does the seven count?

01:52Was it seven?

01:53Did Mike see it?

01:55Then it doesn't count.

02:01Hey, guys.

02:02Does anyone want this?

02:03No!

02:08No, no.

02:09I don't think so.

02:10No.

02:11I don't think so.

02:12Yeah, he's cute.

02:14Barb.

02:15No.

02:16I don't think so.

02:17Barb, you're not...

02:18Hey, Nancy.

02:19There's a slice left if you want it.

02:21Sausage and pepperoni.

02:22Hold on.

02:30There's something wrong with your sister.

02:32What are you talking about?

02:34She's got a stick up her butt.

02:35Yeah, it's because she's been dating that douchebag Steve Harrington.

02:38Yep.

02:39She's running into a real jerk.

02:40She's always been a real jerk.

02:41Nuh-uh.

02:42She used to be cool.

02:43Like that time she dressed up as an elf for our elder free campaign.

02:46Four years ago!

02:47Just saying.

02:48Later.

02:50It was a seven.

02:51Huh?

02:52Then roll.

02:53It was a seven.

02:54The Demogorgon.

02:55It got me.

02:57It got me.

03:00See you tomorrow.
