- I tell the story from my Dungeons and Dragons game where the group decided to split up the party and explore the dungeons, leaving me behind. It did not go well for me. . . .

Don’t you know you never split the party
Clerics in the back keep them fighters hailing hardy
Wizard’s in the middle where he can shed some light
And you never let that damn thief out of sight
In the middle of my first campaign... we split up... *facepalm*
...I know better now....
Finished it off with a nat 20
The meter is off in the last line. Not enough syllables.
wow, you really don't know about clerics do you. They can be VERY deadly in close quarters and be nearly as tanky as Fighters. Don't underestimate them in a fight.
@@lupvirga bruh its some lyrics from a song clerics are beefy
You should have persuaded the ranger by telling him that your group was trying to stop the evil dark wizard from destroying the world, and that if you failed the world would end. And if the world ended then his master would die, and since his job was to protect his master, he should obviously help all of you defeat the evil wizard and save the world.
(Also this would have opened up some pretty cool roleplay potential for him)
You're expecting intelligence from this group? Especially Puffin? =P
Indeed. I think it would be especially interesting after the evil wizard was defeated and the party is away from the lamia. How would the ranger's loyalties impact how they address other threats near the lamia's desert.
Iain Hansen I
amen to that

I mean, from what I can tell domination spells are PRETTY easy to get rid of, so it's not like it was a big deal anyways.
This is why we have the Disengage action
Disengage doesn't let you run through multiple areas of control, it just lets you move out of one that you're currently in.
@Leivve You would be incorrect: If you take the Disengage action, your Movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks for the rest of the turn.
MercKilsek feat: moonwalk - disengage running backwards at normal speed
ROAST.
It _used to_ just affect the square you're starting in; in 5e it completely negates AOOs for the rest of your turn.
Personally, I feel like these incidents are all perfect plot hooks for the future.
"Okay, we've defeated the evil sorceror! Wanna go back to that desert temple for some payback-I mean, to make sure no other poor souls get seduced into a life of slavery?"
yeah, on the first session of the game I'm DMing I set my 3 level 1s against an owlbear, had to make up a powerful sorcerer NPC to save them. They're level 3 now and the next session I play they're gonna fight that owlbear again
Wouldn't it have made more sense to search the collapsed tower? All of the baddies would either be dead or critically wounded from the fall and all the best loot (cash and magic items) would still be intact.
XnFM
Knowing Puffin' s stories, no doubt the strain of falling over would have, like, forced all the traps into one big one or summoned a demon or something. #PuffinCantWin
At the very least, check to see if anything interesting fell out of the windows as it toppled.
XnFM Yep! My players would never have left that tower be until ever broken brick was shifted aside to ensure no loot was buried... 😀
It probably would have come alive and killed them all. Hitting the ground that hard tends to turn things into swordmages.
@@gigastrike2 nah, I reckon it hit hard enough to become a bardbarian.
One rule: never split the party. That is the one rule my DM drilled into me when I started playing.
Izabella Perez A secret: I don't like the party splitting up scrictly because running multiple plots is harder on me as the DM haha
Jaden Asher lol the only reason she said it was because our group is a 5 or 6 party depending on who shows up, but she makes everything meticulously for us so its a good adventure, but again we are only 5 or 6 people so splitting the group isn't good when you have one cleric, a monk, a rogue(me), a druid who doesn't use healing spells and a ranger who doesn't use his healing spells as well.
Izabella Perez only 5 or 6? Wish I could get a group that size consistently.
Vretorith Sadly I had to take a break from the group for...reasons and one of my DnD buddies had to move to SC for his kid so we are down to a 4 member group. Which has to suck.
Yeah...we did that in our first campaign and our NPC cleric was nearly killed because we didn't pay attention and left her behind. Fortunately, my friend's character and I walked back to find her and saved her before she could be strangled to death. Downside, my character nearly died from my friend's character being confused and attacking me. The battle ended with 3 out of 4 our characters down.
This might be the most disastrous campaign ever. Destroying dungeons, helping the villains, leaving party members in the rain, what next? Destroying the multiverse?
Don't give them ideas!
THAT is a GREAT idea! Really, how else could you top this rag-tag band's epic story any other way!
Ever heard of the 2e module “Apocalypse Stone”? It’s a great way to finish a campaign. Forever. Without hope of continuation.
0 Didn’t he already do that? Or maybe I’m thinking of another dnd animated TH-camd but I’m pretty sure I saw it somewhere
I think he did that in one episode by destroying the multiverse..
I think you cannot multiattack with an opportunity attack. Your DM was trying to murder you
He didn't take the disengage action. He was trying to murder himself.
zoltan You are correct. Attack of opportunity is just ONE attack, not multi-attack. My guess is less that the DM wanted to murder them and MORE that 1) the DM didn't know the rules very well or 2) Puffin is embellishing the story (which is fine -- most stories are better embellished).
Bear in mind that there's more than one edition. If you know for a fact that multiattacks of opportunity are against the rules in all editions, then fine, but I have my doubts.
Also, a lot of Puffin's stories involve DMs who aren't good at DM-ing, so...
blarg2429 That's so true. Either DMs who arent good, or the stories are embellished for effect. I suspect a bit of each.
Do you really blame the DM for trying to murder Puffin?
I didn’t ask how big the room was
I said
I
Cast
Fireball
Fireball fills a 20 feet sphere dealing 8d6 fire damage, going around corners if need be. And some house rules has it fill a volume equal to a 20 feet sphere...
Now imagine the orc party sees your wizard casting and in a moment of brilliance, slams the door shut.
100th like
Moonwing Drawz I cast darkness
I cast light!
Dm: you cast fireball into the room
Dm: it's a closet
Player: ah man
“His nine companions.”
Draws 10 more creatures.
And 11 weapons....
My gf noticed it too
Ah, ah, ah. Opportunity attacks can't be multiattacks. In 5E, they are "one melee attack".
Representative Alpha im not sure this is 5e with what sorta things he’s describing. Like a mind controll spell that lasts so long, definitly not in 5e
Meen maby a creature spell, that the DM gave the wizard an answere too, but she intailed spell level, which isent how cresture abilities work, only pre writen and available spells.
Derik NA It was Geas it lasts 30 days
Yea, that's what I thought too.
Derik NA You can cast domination at higher levels, to improve the effect. My group did spell gems and filled them with all kinds of lower level spells cast at higher levels, just so they hit harder.
Representative Alpha that bothered me as soon as he said it
"9 other companions"
>There are 10 companions in the image
Suspension of disbelief broken
A bit late but 9 "other" companions. as in including the first one.
“Hey guys, I have an idea. Let’s split the party!”
-someone who literally wants to die.
Dunno Puffin Man, You're disappointin' me. Should've just charged at all 10 of those Xeno Buglike freaks and butchered them.
I believed in you.
*Battle of kings OST intensifies.*
Oi. I play as a Kreen sometimes. What's wrong with bugs, HUH?! Lol
The fact that he survived 20 attacks to leave then fought his friend and the other monster makes me think he might actually have been able to.
The Dice doesn't believe in him, Didn't you see the Javelin throw?
Yeah! I hate xeno scum that dares to threaten any human and I must say Puffin Man, you disappointed me
I just had this funny idea of a wizard casting feeblemind on himself before he gets mind-controlled by the lamia so that he can't really do anything.
I have a theory that if you didnt stay behind, it probably wouldve been you under the mind control lol
Then the party would've probably been ok... *looks at javelin*
I think he was baking something and had to take a more quite place for his char.
*"Alright Ben, KILL YOUR FRIENDS! MWAHAHHAAH"*
"Sorry, I can't"
*"B-But You HAVE to! You're my Thrall!"*
"No, Don't get me wrong, I'd love to, but i'm actually very weak and pathetic. Like, Physically, I can't do it."
*“What do they even keep you around for?! I completely wasted my spell on you!”*
“Exactly.”
The purpose of his life is to be a target... And create an entire plotline because, ya know, the guy seemed nice
We had a party member get dominated once. We waterboarded him until it broke...
...Wow, dude. That's some hardcore sh*t. 😂
That's . . . drastic !
haha I just like to think he was dominated for a month and you guys just waterboarded him the whole month
Space Iguana LOL - Nice.
when one of our party members got controlled i made an argument that them being ordered to attack my frenzy raging Half-Orc Barbarian with Great weapon master, should be considered a suicidal command which breaks most if not all mind control. the DM said it doesn't, and my barbarian proceeded to kill the mind controlled party member in a single round. all i could say was "told you so."
Finally! I've been dying to listen to more of your stories!
Ta'hogarr?! Garathor?! Ta'hogarr?!
Ta'hogarr?! Garathor?! Ta'hogarr?!
NatsumeHack oh my god Ta’hogarr is Garathor !!!😰
Self-Referential I cast Darkness !
I attack the wall
Is the table in there made of... *mahogany?*
3:31
Ranger: "you're useless" they said
"You can't fight" they said
They said that about 5e Ranger. Puffin often plays 4e
@@eric_moore-6126 Yes, but the spell used on the ranger was Geas which wasn't a spell in 4e and rangers with short swords are dangerous no matter the edition dual wielding at most levels is effective.
Favored Enemy: My own teammates.
I play ranger as crowd-control class, valley of arrow is pretty nefty
When you were in the room all by yourself, I didnt expect 9 more of those things to be hiding in there. This is why im ALWAYS sceptical about open rooms with seemingly nothing in there
Geas is such an amazing spell! People never give it enough attention/love.
JDBD tbh it's been declawed in 5th edition. It's like 5d10 psychic damage if you disobey the order, and only once a day. By 9th level when you get 5th level spells, most stuff is only gonna be inconvenienced by that
If it could deal the damage every time you disobey that would make it more viable, but it would be kinda too strong then :(
Side Note: That baby is adorable!
JDBD It takes a minute to cast. Very hard to use in combat....
You cannot use Multi-Attack on an Attack of Opportunity, as it's a special single attack bonus action, not an attack action.
+
I'm guessing what actually happened there was it took more than one turn to cross the room, and they won initiative.
And unless they were all lined in he direction he was running they wouldn’t have all had an attack of opportunity anyways.
or maybe they just had combat reflexe which allows them to gain additional AoO's equal to their dex bonus
They also wouldn't have had opportunity attacks if he had taken the disengage action.
Tar Hogar?! *gasp* Garathor!!
"Ancient crumbling ruins..... YES PLS!"
Seem he is trying to kill his character again. Lol

You guys are the insane versions of "LEEEERRRROOOOOOYYYYYYYY JENKINSSSSSSS" 🤣 Best. Epic. Fail. Cascade. Ever!
Recently found this channel...have shared if with a few DnD buddies.
Keep up the good work man.
Gamera Yeah, this dude's video are always entertaining!
Everyone's talking about Lamia being snake women, but nope!
Quote from page 201 of the Monster Manual: "A lamia has a beautiful humanoid upper body that merges into a powerful four-legged leonine form."
Edit for clarification: Obviously that's not true of ALL depictions of lamias, but for the setting his depiction is 100% accurate.
DarthBinary We are talking about the actual mythological creature while d&d gave it multiple possible forms depending on nobility status. We are confused because a lot of us are probably not familiar with lamias in the D&D world
... So it’s the monster manual that’s wrong.
Blues Breaker you can't be wrong in fiction. Their make believe Lamia is just as "real" as the make believe ones from myth
GoombaGenocide Pretty sure the makers of the book just fucked it up 😜
cool, now that I can't be wrong in fiction my elves are beings from hell with feathered wings and healing magic, dwarves are these canid loonybins and orcs have long tounges they use to scoop people souls out of their throats
To everyone saying "A laima's a serpent, don't draw a laima as a sphynx." Bahamut's a turtle in the original myth. Not a dragon. In the D&D 5e Monster Manual, Laimas are drawn as sphynges, not serpents. Yuan-ti's are serpents. Wizards of the Coast can do whatever they want with D&D. Meaning, Ben is actually right in drawing a D&D LAIMA as a sphynx. (On a side note: No Jackalweres? Their Monster Manual description specifically mentions working for laimas.)
Tar hogar!! Tar hogar!!
TARHOGAR? GARATHOR?
Tar Hogar?! Garathor?!Tar Hogar?!
Janet! Doctor Scott! Janet! Brad! Rocky!
I'll leave
this one adventure with Garathor really was a messed up one... but fun for us to watch.
That's magic- *what* *can* *you* *do?*
Haley Giunta Apparently blow buildings up with just one 3rd level spell. 😧
Your stories remind me of a fellow GM who called his group 'Robin Hood and his Marry Band of F*&kups.
That's my new character group name
Okay I have only played once and I was on a team so didn’t actually do anything. I want to get into it and am wondering, what is the difference between a DM (which I know means dungeon master, right?) and GM (which I am guessing means Game master?)
@@charlesroberts-moses6074 The only real difference is Dungeon Master is D&D while Game Master is any RPG. For example I am a GURPS GM even though I have written up gurps.fandom.com/wiki/D%26D_to_GURPS ie D&D with GURPS rules...long before Dungeon Fantasy was a thing.
Love your d and d stories
I love how Ben draws the lamia as a centaur instead of a half serpent lady
It's different in D&D than it is on mythology, like gorgons
I have a story of 3.5 when i travelled a Desert. My team and I (a Warhulk) were looking for a Colossal Scorpion, when i said '' This desert is too big, were never gonna find it'' And one team member said ''Its a Fucking COLOSSAL Scorpion''. One session of laugh later, we found it, behind a big sand dune, i asked our mage to create a bridge of immovable platform for me to climb up to his face so i could punch it. I ran up, then crited, dealing so much damage i K.O'd it in one shot.
Milenos your DM must have been so done with you. XD
Milenos ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNCHHH!!!!!
Milenos *we're or we are.
Strider, he was quite a bit yes, but everything he throwed at me, i could slap. Two druid with a bear? Powerslam the bear into them. But hey, im not the one that give me a giant sword that can turn into a shield for protection against some magic.
Hyperborean Son, i would like to state that my original sentence would have been ''On va jamais la trouver, le desert est bien trop gros! '' So excuse me if my translation bother you, now you can go else where.
Jesus christ, what level were you??
Man, I really love when Ben suggests that they should split the party and they agree with him!
Tahogarr... garathor. Tahogarr!
oh ya same black crystals you gave him few DnD storys back?
this is why fighters aren't allowed to make decisions, puffin
This has NOTHING to do with him being a Fighter.
I love the continuing story over these videos.
Can't wait for the next one 😁
Huh, allways thought Lamias had a snake-tail... you know, like gorgons, but pretty and without the whole "Turning to stone" thing... the more you know I guess. :P
Generally lamias are snake women that seduce men and then eat them or suck their blood, sorta like a three way cross between a vampire/succubus/marilith.
for some reason someone decided while making the monster manual that lamias would turn into 'centaurs except with lion parts'.
The DM was pretty generous. Thrikreen (sp?) have 4 "arms". Yet they all used just one two handed weapon. It was one of the most broken races for a while, every one wanted to be a 2h sword master cause due to their size they can use them one handed... 4 arms, 4 two handed swords. It's like 7 attacks a round at higher levels.
D&D is designed in a way that all the basic classes need to cooperate in order to survive so no splitting the group... unless you are playing with a high level druid but that class is designed to be a party by itself.
I'm pretty sure Puffin and his group know that, they probably just derped.
The lamia is said to look like an elf when the party finds her but while lamias can cast disguise self at will, the spell specifically states “you can’t change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same amount of limbs”. And interestingly with her mind control spell, geas, it doesn’t require concentration and doesn’t specify breaking at death, meaning the effects would still last even if she was downed
I thought multiattack didn't apply to opportunity attacks.
ThiefCat Chad It doesn't. Either a DM who doesn't know the rules (and players who don't either because they didn't correct the DM) or there is some embellisment for the sake of a more interesting story going on. I suspect the latter. 😀
You're correct. An attack of opportunity is one melee attack. Split up the party- it'll be faster !( Way to get killed!)
In case anyone else is/was as confused as me about Ben calling it "Lamia" but drawing a "Sphinx":
Wizard of the coast had the bright (/s) idea of creating 2 types of Lamia. The normal "Lamia" that looks exactly like a Sphinx while having no business looking like one, and the "Noble Lamia" which looks like what everyone expects a Lamia to look like (Women with bottom half of a Snake).
There are 17th century depictions of the Greek "Lamia" where she does look a little bit like the "Sphinx", walking basically on 4 feet and such. But even in that depiction she was covered completely in scales and was clearly different from a Sphinx.
So yeah, Ben drew the right thing. It is WotC that completely fucked this up and gave "Lamia" the visuals of a "Sphinx" for no good reason...
The wizard really knows how to get what she wants (1:21)
Typical woman
Memes and Hearthstone
How dareth you, sir!
Memes and Hearthstone is there anyway you could upload more.
the white knight are coming
How do you even get that from this video?
I detect a distinct lack of people who will think you're serious. Don't worry. They'll come.
Could you post a couple hour long stories? You don't need to animate them. You're really good at telling stories.
LETS GET READY TO RUUUUUUUUMBLLLLEEEEEEE!!!!!
Tower: I am an ancient ruin that holds untold knowledge
Wizard: bold talk for someone within fireball range
Katia/katja is becoming my favorite character.
You should do a video with the perspective of whatever was in the tower. Show them laughing as they prepared to ambush your party when the party enters the tower. Only to have the wizard basically nuke it with a fireball. The reactions of whatever was in the tower would be hilarious.
My group had a Thri-Kreen once. He had an obsession with Cucumbers, to eat, after finding one in a female NPC's dresser drawer. The answer to your question is yes.
Good to know the cucumber had been left to rot after the NPC didn't eat her vegetables.
I watch all of these over and over
You said NINE. You drew TEN.
YOU HAVE FAILED PUFFIN
Baldi: *smackeths him*
Nine 'OTHER' Companions!
I love when I open my sub feed and see a new D&D story!
My players are clever and careful. How are ya'll so awesomely bad at d&d?
Randall Goeth because they are the worst adventurers ever, which is why they are the most entertaining adventurers ever.
Look at the bird, he thinks he's a person with his little hat and stubby beak, he's so adorable when he tries to be like everyone else when he's just a bird
One question I have as I’ve never been in a scenario like this, what happens when the party splits into 2 rooms? Do they just carry on as normal but act like you’re not seeing what’s happening or how does that work?
oh, it depends on the DM. some will make the players sit in SEPARATE ROOMS!
I have never played D&D but listening to your game stories is pretty fun. :)
Maybe i will get into it aswell someday
3:00 I counted. Not counting the one that was already there, there actually 10 of them.
Destroying the tower with a magic spell the moment you come across it just because you can? That's a mage after my own heart!
Hmm... I'm pretty sure you don't get multi attacks when getting an opportunity attack. Not 100% sure about that, though.
My group was found in the same situation after a battle with a Lamia. The Minotaur Barbarian was tied with ropes from the rest of the party while still under the Geas effect. He was like "You can untie me. I am ok now. I am a loyal companion of yours!" while planning to chop everyone to pieces after setting him free. He ALMOST succeeded to that subterfuge check.....
Garathor?
TAR HOGAR?
Chameleon Carapace.... awesome alliteration!
Sounds like a sweet high school rock band name! 😎🐜🐞🎸
Does your d&d group (In this one) have a name? Just saying, a playlist of this group is pretty good for a rainy day!
Ronan H Let’s spitball some names: the bane of garathor
Protectors of the material plane. Feat. A pet bird.

"Totally the good guys"
This channel makes me wish I actually knew people who knew how / wanted to play d&d ;-;
Good old Garathor...
I've only played D&D once online with my team on a game on Xbox 360, 6 years ago. From what I remember it was complicated but so much fun. Ever since I've been wanting to get into it and your videos are making me actually consider it haha.
More Trixie Starbright.
These are some of the greatest videos and story telling thank yoib
1:22 and then the DM cried
rafaellerescapone probably why the rest of the video was them have " unfortunate" bad luck.
Thank you so much for what you do! Never stop being you and doing what you love!! I always look forward to your videos!! Keep up the good work!!!
You drew an extra Thri-Kreen and his weapon. Also what level are you guys? Cuz my lvl 3 party killed a Lamia in about four or five rounds.
In other videos: catia is the smart and responsible one in our group
In this video: I CAST FIREBALL
*TAH HOGAR! GARATHOR!*
That's a wholesome story, I'm glad it had a happy ending
What should I do if 2 pcs want to fight one another?
Angry Wombat23 place bets and watch the show.
Just watch them let em fight and get popcorn.
Just let them fight... BUT, if it reaaaly get in the way of ur quest, u can just make the preparations let the fight begin and suddenly draw a "bigger-danger-monster-situation" or anything like that... But I preffer to let them fight
Angry Wombat23 why do they want to fight? is it for RP reasons, or are the players pissed at each other? also, if you want to discourage them from fighting again, let them fight, but describe it in the dryest most boring way possible.
Non lethal fight club lol
Dark Sun... By no means my favourite setting, but it's good you're having fun cleaning up your past mistakes. ;)
Thats a Sphinx...a Lamia is a snake...
lordxmugen it's not a snake
which is why i said it was a Sphinx....
lordxmugen no, I mean: "A lamia is not a snake" it's exactly the creature he shows
goo.gl/images/dZntCz
Going by D&D standard and not Greek mythology. Example is that in D&D gorgons are iron bulls while in Greek mythology gorgons are medusa. Weird I know.
I absolutely love these D&D stories. Puffin Forest is such an amazing & funny storyteller although the animations r pretty simple, they are so much better than anything I could do plus they compliment the stories & his great sense of humour perfectly!
Keep up the great work...I always look forward to your latest vids cos guaranteed I'll have a good laugh/smile!!! 👍😄
Arent lamias snake people?
that's what i thought
Honestly it’s stupid that the wizard blew up the tower. Because I found the guide book for that game and it turns out there is a whole lot of good loot in that tower. And by blowing it up, all that loot broke and exploded
"The elf turns into a lamia!" Then why was she drawn as a sphinx?
forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Lamia
Because this is d&d.
Bryan Thomas The heck?
She wasn't drawn as a sphinx. She was drawn as a lamia. Buy a 5e Monster Manual.
That's a Lamia. Normal Lamia's have the lower body of a lion in D&D, however the more powerful Lamia Nobles would have serpentine lower bodies. Furthermore, a Sphinx has a humanoid head and wings on a lion body, while a Lamia has the entire upper torso of a human.
Lucas Akame lol yes because everyone is playing 5e. Also i thoroughly enjoy hiw fast everyone hops up with a finger in the air saying "akshtually" *takes heavy strained breath*
this has got to be the most cleshay quest ive ever heard in regard to the crystals
M8 you drew a sphinx not a lamia
forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Lamia
Try researching next time.
Lamia's aren't always depicted the same, he could have seen a lamia as depicted in some other media, but that depiction is different.
Which doesn't change the fact that he should have done some research before posting.
End result is in dnd mythology Lamia are Half Woman half lion creatures.
Not necessarily. Normal Lamia's have the lower body of a lion in D&D, however the more powerful Lamia Nobles would have serpentine lower bodies. Furthermore, a Sphinx has a humanoid head and wings on a lion body, while a Lamia has the entire upper torso of a human.
In my opinion this is your best episode
YUS ANOTHER COOL STORY YOU GOT ME INTO D&D THANK YOU
Fun fact: multiattack specifically says that you cant use that action for an attack of opportunity, which must be one single melee attack.
I was playing a dead lands session yesterday. During a train battle my level 1 mad scientist took a gattling gun to the back. By some miraculous dumb luck on my part I was only stunned by the hail of bullets ripping into my back and took no damage. He was not even wearing any bulletproof armor he was just wearing a plaid jacket some pants, boots, and a tophat. Somehow without any protective armor what so ever he took no damage.
The animation quality in this video is really good. It's getting better
In one of my games, we thought we were safe (we were back in our hometown), and one of our partymembers (a darkelf) heard there was another darkelf looking for her. Earlier we had encountered a darkelf familymember of hers (backstory reasons), so we all assumed it was him. We decided to split the party, with some of us in they library, some going shopping and her looking for the darkelf by herself.
Turned it out was an assassin. If she hadn't rolled really well on her perception she'd be dead, but now she just had an incredibly tense chase through town (with going invisible, illusory distractions, explosions, etcetera. It was super exciting!)
Great video.
Great summary of what could have been a full 24 hrs session.
In a hunger games RPG, I did the same javelin into the ground description without watching this. It was probably either a javelin, an arrow, or a dagger.
Man, I love your videos! You seem like a guy I would want to hangout with. Thank you. Keep making them.
I feel like something bad happened and he's gonna bring it up in a later story. By the way, thanks for not adding background music during the story. I actually find it more interesting to listen to the stories without background music.
I love how those videos "explain" one another... Garathor not "managed" to get the crystals, the PLAYERS gave them to him! HUEAHUEHUAHUAEHUEA
And now you are tasked on bringing them back!
