7:10
James arrives with 15 Big Macs and 30 ill placed, off the collar remarks. Everyone kindly says no, they are full from the pizza - James takes it personally and threatens to blow the place up (where’d that bomb come from?)

11:45
The players put their heads together and try to figure out if they can make it out of the dungeon with no armor, weapons, equipment or clothes - each carrying 5,000 coins over their back, moving at 2 feet per hour. It’s a go.

12:00 midnight
Joe rolls 18 separate wandering monster rolls and each come up as… you guessed it “00”. Joe gives the party the choice of: The combination of 5 gold dragons, 3 silver dragon, 6 green dragons and 4 Royal dragons - or - a swift kick in the nuts. The players opt for a new adventure.

12:30
New adventure. Players are in “frantic” mode - Their character sheets consist of a name, STR and DEX stats, class and a stick figure drawing. Tom has designed a character sheet that will make best use of the space on his paper for these 5 items. He runs to Kinko’s and makes copies.

12:55
Party travels 800 miles, gets training in town, hired by a magician, finds the secret runes in the map, uncovers the buried magical legendary sword of ultimate power (normal sword plus 1/8), discover the secrets of the gods, defeat the army of Centaurs, rescue the princess and grab the treasure.

All they need to do is get back to town!

1:00
Joe can’t continue. He’s exhausted. Everyone begs him to just get them back to town. But he says he promises, PROMISES they’ll finish the adventure… NEXT TIME.
