...Okay for a second there I thought we were gonna go for a third week in a row with a silicone prop nipple in our movie and I was gonna throw a fit.

Oh, it's a lava cookie with a free prize inside.

...Okay so the princess's half of the story is just gonna be A Clockwork Orange, huh?

The movie: A glaive is a five-pointed magical ninja star

You: A glaive is a polearm

Me, a nerd: A glaive is a bouncy stick with a bug friend :D

Oh no, it's the funny companion :/

That's what happens when you fail your Wild Magic check.

...Ergo, huh. We're gonna see too much of him, get Ergo poisoning :/

Our hero is being hounded by wandering trumpets.

Aaaaaand there's a botched stealth check.

"Is it foolish to fight for your home?"

I dunno, are we getting a lend-lease program? Are the sanctions still up? Do we get Starlink access?

Oh, he's getting his hand stamped. He gets back in for free.

Our wizard's kind of a liability here, huh.

Good to see they're leaving the Redshirts behind.

So what do you figure the under/over is on Muttonchop Gandalf there eating it before the end of the movie?

"I'm Titch! I'll be your emotional crutch once my aged master dies and I'm forced to come with you! You'll probably die protecting me! :D"

"This... *means something*!"

Y'never look into the Palantir, chief. :/

"They said I was mad to build a temple in the swamp! But I built it all the same. The first temple sank into the swamp. So I built another! That one fell over, then sank into the swamp. But I built a THIRD temple and that one caught on fire, fell over and THEN fell into the swamp! But the fourth one stayed up."

Oh nice, Esther Williams orcs.

Huh, our hero took Two-handed Fighting as a bonus feat last level up.

Kid's an apprentice exposition wizard.

Rell wishes for ignorance, specifically of this obnoxious little wizard nerd.

The Beast keeps threatening our heroine with clothing.

...Shouldn't they have encountered ROUSes by now?

Welp, there's one Redshirt down.

Oh, he's been absorbed by the black oil alien from The X-Files.

Oo, stabbed him right in the silicone pouch.

"We're your family now."

Oh, great. Wonderful, thanks, uh, dad :/

You're ripping off SHELOB now? Read another book, motherfucker!

Fair play to Muttonchops Gandalf, it's never fun visiting your ex.

And the dog thing whimpers out like the pointless bit it was.

"You must eat something. Please, for me?"

Here comes the airplane, little kingy, brrrrrrummm!

The queen is trapped in the Final Fantasy parts of a Kingdom Hearts game.

Oh, the Beast is a Republican.

Ah, the great power of the Beast to shove a woman offstage. At higher levels he gets a long pole with a hook at the end.

Oh we're getting some stop motion spider! :D I knew this movie would be worthwhile :D

"I was supposed to be in Raiders of the Lost Ark! Spielberg never returns my calls!"

Oh, the Mirror of Maybeline.

Well, Hobby Lobby's never taking return on that hourglass now :/

Firemares, or as they're more usually known, beer horsies.

So we're just getting an extended horse-rustling scene, huh?

Shoutout to the guy in the cyclops prosthetic, tho, he's earning his pay like four times over.

"Each to his fate."

My fate is another handful of chocolate, I think.

"We had no time!"

BITCH THIS MOVIE IS TWO HOURS LONG YOU HAD PLENTY OF TIME.

♪ Fun fun fun 'till your daddy takes your fire horseys awaaaaayaay ♪

On dasher! On dancer! On prancer and vixen!

Yeah yeah, majestic. C'mon guys, it's always like this when you finally get the airship in RPGs.

Ha, it's Star Trek set mountain :D

And another Redshirt bites the dust!

Eddington halfway up the mountain like,

Missed opportunity for a Wilhelm scream there.

Heh, kind of a half-aborted dodge roll there from our bandit chieftan :P

"Tell Merith I loved her. Also Sally. And Bridget, and Ginny, and Bobby, and..."

Unfortunately the Glaive does not have the power to properly greenscreen an actor into a scene. :/

Another missed opportunity: The Glaive should totally have cut a Wile E. Coyote outline for the Prince.

This is why you throw Indy the whip back, dude.

@CactuarJoe this is what I hoped they would actually do. Huge missed opportunity
