- State your name.
State your name.
- Torkul of Darkhaven.
- Address?
- You may address me as Abelsworth.
Lord of the high wind.
- Is that also known as 1205 Washington Lane?
- Surely you jest.
The realm of Darkhaven, where we all reside.
- Do you take drugs?
- If you're trying with your evil tricks
it will not work with me, sir.
- Come on man, we're not gonna bust you for that.
You're not here for that.
Do you take drugs?
- Golden paladin needs no mind-altering substances
to complete his quest.
- Do you take prescription medications of any kind?
- I am not any of the clerics.
Mystical winds.
- Do you drink?
- Of course not, not when my quest is still underway.
- What is your mission?
- To rid the realm of the 13 demons of the apocalypse.
May I go now?
- I am golden paladin of the knight's order
of the high wind.
Once I have completed their destruction and annihilation,
I will have freed the realm,
and I will have brought peace to all man kind.
- Why 13?
- It's a sacred number written down in the tomes.
It's taught through all of time.
- You know that we've had 12 murders in the last month?
- I do not care about murders.
If they are but of the quest, they matter.
- And this is all part of your mission?
- Yes, I must complete my quest.
- So when you say demons, you mean humans?
- I've grown tired.
I've grown tired of your questioning.
The demons are the ones that have held us back.
- As foretold in the tomes to bring forth
the end of everything is...
- what did you kill them with?
- I killed them with the anointed dagger of Bastooge.
- You mean this?
A stick.
- My weapon, you have it.
May I have it back, please?
Sacred scimitar of Azcarden.
- Is this it?
A pipe.
- A pipe, you fool?
Your eyes look upon a sacred relic all time
and you see a simple pipe?
- Please, I can see you are a noble man,
I can see that in your eye.
Please give me my weapon.
I am on a divine quest.
- No.
- This the kind of men you have in your kingdom?
- I understand little of this inquiry.
Little of your advantages towards me.
Why will you not release me from this elven dungeon?
- Recognize this fella?
November 15.
Killed Dickie Collins.
- Yes.
He was the one who welcomed us to this realm.
He set this all into motion.
- He was the Shepherd of the high wind.
He brought us in.
- Before the prophecy, as foretold in the tomes.
- He showed us the ways to kill the demonic citadels.
- Why?
Why?
Challenge accepted.
- Hey guys.
Hey, you'll never guess what.
You'll never guess.
Shit, dude, I'm sorry man.
Look, no, no, no. - God damn it, dude.
Challenge accepted.
- God damn it, man, I've been playin' Bridges and
fuckin' knights for 12 hours.
God damn it, dude, fuck!
- Listen, listen.
- You know how pristine I keep my set.
- All right, what is so god damn important
you gotta come in here kickin' shit?
I'm right in the middle of gettin' to the reaper here,
I've never gotten that far,
this is dragon lair, for god's sake,
you know what this shit is like, come on!
- This is better.
- What the hell is this, dude?
- 13 demons.
I mean, you remember?
You don't remember, the game, the game,
30 years ago it was banned.
People who played it, they got so obsessed with it
they started killin' other people and shit.
They actually thought that they were these characters
in the game.
It was like dark ages, man.
I mean, they threw it all on the streets, man.
They burned 'em and shit.
You don't remember this?
- I mean, rest assured, if it was worth remembering,
I would remember it, but I don't remember it.
- They don't even fuckin' spell demons right.
- This is fucking rare, man, this is huge!
I mean, check it out.
- This smells, man.
It's got a castle.
- Where did you get it?
- Argon's, argon's.
Old man argon, you know,
his bookstore's goin' out of business.
You know Janet, you know, the senile, his wife, you know?
- Oh.
- Isn't she like the one with the wizard sleeve
and all that?
- Dude, she sold it to me for like two bucks,
she doesn't know anything
about the dark origin of this game.
I can't even believe that old man argon even had this.
- 13 demons, dude.
I mean.
I mean, it sounds like a throw back metal hair band
from 1984.
- This is die cast.
This shit's quality.
- Yeah, and where's the shoe?
- Take a look at this crap now, man.
Look, it's heavy.
- Ooh.
- There was much rejoicing, yay!
I don't know, man.
- Dude, let me see that, man.
- What else is in there?
- Smells old.
Looks old.
Looks dumb.
And it's all moldy, it's not.
It's not even that old, dude.
Nah.
- Does it say made in Taiwan?
Oh.
That's some Jumanji shit.
- God damn. - Ugh.
- Oh, what is that shit?
- It's the rule book.
- That's the rule book?
- You wanna play?
Um.
I think there's.
Wait a minute, hold on.
- Do you even know where we start from?
- Well yeah, yeah, you can start on any of the, um.
Uh, any of the, eh.
Wait no, wait hold on one second.
Like reading this stuff, it's like reading Beowulf,
you know, I mean.
Okay, so we are, we're golden paladins,
we can start at any corner in our realm.
- These are the realms.
- Yes, every four corner, that's a realm.
So when we kill all of our demons in our realm,
we can meet in the middle,
but we cannot enter the citadel yet
where the king is imprisoned.
See, I mean, it's a lot easier if we're playin' with four.
- So where do we start from, though?
- You can start anywhere here, I believe,
it's the closest gray block from any corner,
you can pick, but it has to be in your own domain.
- So we put these little army men dude
on the triangle?
- These are forests.
- Well, what's up with the triangles, then?
- Well, you can't go through 'em.
- Why can't we go through the forest?
- I don't now, it's just like every game board,
they have to make it more entertaining and stuff.
You know, it's like why are there little Bridges here?
It's just to make it more pleasurable, I guess.
So you go there, actually, no you go right there
because you cannot be right next to those red things.
- So what are the reds, then?
- Those are the demon bases.
- Demon base.
I heard some demon bass on a track the other day.
It was sweet.
I don't like this, though.
That was more interesting, that.
- So, first off, we kill each of those 13 demons
outside of any of the other lollygagging that we do
through these events, through the valley of whatever,
discontent, and yada yada yada.
- I know, it's like a choose your own adventure.
- Then do we absorb their souls or something?
Is this Tekken?
What are we doing?
- So this is how it works.
So here I am, I'm on my orange circle,
it says you come to dead druid pass.
You see many boulders that is blocking your entrance
to the demon base.
- Demon base.
- Your only options are to turn right...
- the fuck around.
- Look, I know these rules, they're silly and everything,
but come on, we can at least say
that we're playing 13 demons.
The game that's banned, that was burned.
Lives were.
You know what I mean?
It's like Everest.
You know, you gotta try it.
- I'm so confused, man.
- Whatever.
- No, I.
It has this odd aroma and my olfactory's all screwy,
but it kinda smells like
this thing's been buried under like burned leaves.
- I know, I know.
Yeah, it does stink a little.
I thought that, too.
- Okay, but I do smell it, all right?
- Well it's an old game.
I mean this is the game our grandfathers played with.
- Do you smell it?
Like more intensely than you did like maybe two minutes ago?
- I got somethin' you can smell intensely.
- No, that's.
- Is it getting stronger?
- Dude, yes.
- I mean, I don't mind the smell.
- I don't know, dude.
Smell my fuckin', here.
- I like this better.
Oh, oh, shit.
- Yeah, no, that's.
- Fuck it, come on guys, let's just play, man.
Let's just do one step at a time,
and let's fuckin' play man, let's do this.
Okay.

Oh, god.
Son of a bitch.
- I was waitin' on this one.
- I said that before, you can't go through the trees.
- Am I doing this wrong?
- Apparently, you go into another monster.
- No, we are the paladins.
We cannot join forces with a monster, anything like that.
- Is that right, I don't know.
- I get why this is banned, man.
- Son of a bitch.
Fuck this game.
- The book smells way better than the game though, man.
- Old burned book smell.
Like that one book where they burn all the books.
- Burned leaves.
- It's like just like fuckin' burned leaves, man.
Just like burned leaves.

- Yeah man, yeah.

- Time flies when you're having fun, right?
- I mean, we're close to our demon bases, so.
Let's just play until that, man,
and we'll call it quits.
Let's just get somewhere in this game.

Hey boys, let's see what else this thing does.
I mean, if it does that shit without tellin' you,
let's see what else it does.
- All right, you're up, man.
- All right.
Congratulations, golden paladin warrior.
Vanquishing your first demon.
Victory is well earned,
however your journey is not yet complete.
To meet your fate, you must first advance to the next quest.
You find yourself standing on a hill
covered with scorched brush.
The trees
around you are black skeletons,
brown, shriveled skins dangling
where once the branches dipped with red apples.
The sky's a sea of red, choking with smoke.
Your village lay in ruin.
Demons chase young children through the streets.
Sound of wailing fills the air.
You hear cracks like thunder.
Armies of demons riding across the realm,
war, famine, pestilence, tragedy, misery,
cut down your people wherever you look.
Horrified, you raise from your nightmare.
You fly past the ruined trees of blasted earth
and heaven has opened up and frozen with rain pelt you.
Winds strike at you and may fight you like a feather.
Whoa, that's some heavy shit.
- Yeah.
- To advance,
you must roll a four or higher.
Roll to continue.
Fulfill your destiny.
- Fulfill that destiny.
- I'm gonna fulfill it.
- This is getting better, man.
- Oh.
Your turn.
- Oh, um.
You guys want a snort?
- Nah man, I'm good.
Let's just play the game.
- Okay, yeah.
Sure.
- Yeah, I'll have some.
- No man, no.
No, thanks, no.
Let's just play the game man.
Let's keep playing.
All right, all right?
Cool, all right.
Okay, um, so.
Paladins enter upon the magic room.
The master speaks.
In my foolish enthusiasm I blurted out the plans to you
while you were on your way to collect
the henna rope from the wise woman of the Viborg.
Viborg, or Viborg.
Viborg.
I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, that was.
That was uncalled for.
Viborg.
I didn't mean to mispronounce it.
Can we continue?
- Yeah.
Okay.
- I won't make that mistake again.
I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, guys.
- That's okay.
- Okay, um.
Upon retrieval of the power gem,
remember, before you forget your loyalty,
you wouldn't prompt to insist on remaining with me,
be sure, for your survival of capturing of the power gem
to displace all demons.
I.
It says I have to roll a four or higher.
Six.
We're in the demon town now, man.
- We're paladins.
- I am sorry about before, talking shit about this game,
but this is a really good game.
This is a really good game.
I'm serious, it's a really good game,
it's a really good game, guys.
This is entirely a good game.
I, this is a really good game.
This is a really, really, really good game.
- Wow.
How about that.
- The body of an unidentified man
was found in the parking lot of an office park
on the southeast side.
Sources say his face was so badly beaten,
he will have to be identified by fingerprints
or dental records.
Anyone with information is asked to call silent observer.
- Go in Harmony, paladin.
And seek thine balance of the gray lore
through the stone walls of the paladin's new home.
As they begin to disappear,
shadows grew beyond the gleam of the crystals,
descending on the chests and shelves of books
within the table of the gray lord.
Paladins debated ancient philosophies, Grant...
- why do you always misread the sacred book?
It's a form of disrespect.
What is wrong with you?
You're reading like a child.
- Dude, it's paladin.
- P-p-p-p-p-paladin, paladin.
T-t-t-t-treasure, g-g-g-g-golden golden
c-c-c-crown, crown, crowns.
We have been playing this for many days.
The least you could do is show respect.
What kind of person are you?
Am I right?
- Are you...
- language.
- Dude, what the fuck is your problem?
- You sound like a drunken Bavarian ogre.
- We're just tryin' to get along here, all right?
- It doesn't even matter, it doesn't even matter.
Just continue r-r-r-reading.
- I respect this realm.
- Continue.
- I do.
- Continue.
- Don't tell me what to do, okay?
- Please.
- Okay.
Paladin.
At the stone walls of the paladin,
proceed to the inner circle.
Join thine brethren paladin as you watch for
the wizard and his open arms.
Collect 100 gold piece.
Man.
There, okay?
- Where's my dice?
Where's my dice, my dice was right here, now it's gone.
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- What do you mean you lost your dice?
You're so careless, man, why do you always lose shit?
I mean, you take enough time already,
you lose your way all across the realms,
yet you still can't hold onto anything,
and yet you claim that we have no respect for this game?
- Okay, this is what I mean by like
not respecting what we're trying to do.
Why can't you be more prepared?
I mean...
- did you take it?
Did you take my dice?
- I have mine.
I've been holding onto it.
When I throw it down, I find out where it goes,
count how many dots are on it, and I grab it.
- And you claim yourself to be a golden paladin warrior
and you can't even remember where your dice is
and you have the audacity to blame others in your own quest.
- Thick as thieves, you are.
- Look, you are slipping, man.
- I'm gonna ask you again.
Did you take my dice?
I am looking at you, not you.
You.
- No, man, what the fuck.
Come on.
Let's just be civilized here.
- Oh, false alarm.
Very sorry.
I am sorry, I am sorry.
I didn't mean to accuse any of you.
You are not thieves, all is right in the order.
The brotherhood.
Right?
Can we continue?
Oh, god.
As I approach the barbarian, he drew himself up.
Listen, he shouts, child of nature,
I have done my part.
I have practiced my skills.
I am the only journeyman in this land.
The only way to get to your first demon citadel
is by taking the path the left.
The path to the right, to the frozen caverns of Morgash.
Roll a three, you take the path on the right.
Roll a four, you take the path on the left.
Would you like a dram?
- Do not lie to us, paladin.
Do not bring mistrust within this group.
- You've reached the carpenters.
Leave a message after the tone
and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you.
- Hello, mother.
Hello, father.
I come bearing good news.
I'm now a member of the knight's order.
A part of the brotherhood, the golden paladins,
the chosen ones.
The chosen ones to vanquish all evil from this realm.
This is my destiny.
I know you always haven't been proud of me,
but finally, I found my way in life, I found my light.
I go into battle tonight.
There is a good chance, though, that I may not return.
If I do not return, think better of me.
Think better of me, for I have brought honor
to our family name.
I love you.
Look at me, foul demon.
- Dude, we're closed.
I'm just tryin' to finish up.
Dude, we're closing.
I just wanna go home.
Can you please leave?
We're closed, all right?
- Please decrease your level of interest
from that metal chariot.
For I am one of the golden paladins of the knight's order.
- Dude, what the fuck? - A divine one.
- Hey dick, looks like you got everything done
but the paperwork, again.
- I've come to slay thee,
foul demon of the apocalypse.
- What's this then?
- Fight me.
Fight me, you filth.
Fight me.
Fight me, if you're so bold.
- What's this?
- Some crazy fuckin' pothead, I don't know.
- Well get him outta here.
- Dude, fuckin' leave.
- Are you ready to do battle, foul demon?
Remove yourself from the confines of your citadel
and approach me.
- You wanna fuckin' go?
- You're as cowardly as you are ugly.
- Dude, keep going, I dare you.
Keep fucking going.
- You're as gutless as your bitch mother
that gave birth to you from the depths of Hades.
- What did you just say to me?
- Flee before me.
Flee back to oblivion to suckle on your mother's teat.
- The fuck did you say about my mother?
- Go back to oblivion to suck on your mother's teat.
- I'll fuckin' kill you, dude.
- Prepare for combat.
- Police are blaming the recent murders
on an insurgence of the fantasy role-playing board game
13 demons.
The game was banned 30 years ago
due to excessively violent murders
perpetrated by players
who were convinced they were living in the game.
When questioned, the players admitted to the murders,
stating they were slaying demons
in order to advance in the game.
Victims were killed by blunt force trauma to the head.
One suspect stated, we must strike them in the head
because demons have no hearts.
Police here on the scene of a fatal beating
on the city's southeast side.
They found the body of a man who had suffered
many blows to the head and body.
The suspect was covered in what appeared to be
body armor made from household items.
His femoral artery had been severed in the attack
and bled to death at the scene.
When police arrived, his last words
were about failing his mission.
An unidentified man was found on the sidewalk
at 1205 first street.
Neighbors said they heard a lot of yelling
and reported fighting and shouting,
I kill ye demon, we are the knights of the realm!
- Please release me from this dungeon.
- It's not gonna happen.
- Release me from my bonds.
- No!
- I've had enough of your insolence.
You'll suffer me like I am a fool.
You are a fool for keeping me here.
I am trapped when I should be out there
saving your realms!
- You kill innocent people, asshole!
- I will not waste my time with your elven tribe.
- This person deserve to die?
- Yes.
- And this one?
- Yes.
- What about this one? - Yes.
- So this one had to die?
- Yes.
- This guy. - Indeed.
- And this one?
- Yes.
- This one? - Yes.
- And that one? - Yes.
- We got this guy.
- Yes.
- And this one.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
- A five year old child!
- He was not a boy anymore.
He was at least a gremlin, with wing boots of silver.
- Fasted demon I had seen in all of the 26 realms.
- A five year old kid?
- We could not catch one of these lightly,
this was a major victory, this was a supreme triumph,
and you wave it in my face as if it is nothing,
where I am saving your realm.
- You recognize him?
- Yes, he is my comrade.
Was.
- Do you know this guy?
- He is no friend of mine.
- So what were you fighting over?
Girls, drugs?
Money?
Why do you wanna kill your friend?
- He was my comrade, he is now the final demon I must slay
to complete my mission.
Is he here?
- Well look, that's none of your business.
That's our business.
- I sense he's here.
- Do you not understand?
His quest was impure.
- Damn straight, bitch.
- He's the last demon, and I must kill him.
I must kill him.
- So he's number 13.
- Yes.
I would like to see him, please.
- No.
- Then at least let me have my weapon.
- No.
- I besiege you, sir.
Give me my weapon.
- No!
- May I have my weapon, please?
- You can repeat yourself
till you get redder in the face, motherfucker.
- Where is my weapon?
- Three bodies were found overnight
in the city's southeast side.
They were all found near their cars
and had suffered fatal blows to the head.
Neighbors in the area are scared to leave their houses.
Police believe these murders are linked
to the board game killer.
- Family members gathered
waiting for any news from the lead.
- The bodies of a five year old boy
and his mother were found early this morning
in Bakerswood.
I hear that they were bludgeoned to death
with a large stick found nearby.
The police are getting closer
to locating the killer or killers.
It's a parent's worst nightmare.
- Yield, yield!
Yield.
I just need rations for my soldier.
- Very well, take your rest.
But at least show some respect for this quest
and your weapon and sheathe it.
- You mock me.
With a head so clear.
No, your head is full of rubyroot smoke, it is.
- I have been pure since day one of this quest,
dear paladin brother.
- You have not been pure,
you have been touched by the maiden's wizard sleeve.
- I am pure!
I have been pure since day one of this quest.
Dare you challenge the validity of this?
- Pure.
- Pure, as pure as a paladin could be
that ever could be and ever will be.
Need I remind you how many demons I have slayed?
How many have you slain?
- Ah!
The realm knows no dirtier soul than yours.
Cleanliness.
Nothing, you are a slob.
- Slander.
Absolute poppycock and slander, dear sir.
How dare you!
You are weak, and here I will be standing still,
ready to slay anything that dares hinder me from my quest.
- Yes.
I see.
I see your judgment is clouded.
My brother, you just see only what you want.
Clearly, I see it's only a maiden's fair tale
but quest is in your mind.
Your quest is for nothing, brother!
Oh, I see you finding nothing in front of you
but a maiden's backside!
- As golden paladins, as brothers,
we uphold this realm.
Only the purest and most worthy.
I take on this burden.
I ask you, sir.
How invested are you in saving our world?
- I need no companions now.
- Where did you get that?
- Oh, I fetched this from the valley of Mezer.
- Lies.
- Shall I use it on you, brother?
- No.
You won't.
Would you make sure?
- Wherever did you get that fine weapon?
- It was given to me by a hand.
From the golden Vincine of Calstone.
- What a lie.
- Here it is before your very eyes.
They lied to you.
- We shall settle this in the realm.
- Very well.
Bear in mind, comrade,
should our paths cross tonight,
in the realm,
I will meet you with this.
I will catch you and I will slay you.
- Fair enough, my brother.
If your mind is as slow as your sword,
or your sword as dreadfully slow as your mind,
I will not haste to cut you in two.
For I am the chosen knight.
I am the regal golden paladin of the vestiges of the realm.
Yes, we will see who we will see, my brother.
Okay.
- May the kingdom of the brotherhood
of the golden paladins unite.
- May the wind of pan be at your back.
- May the soul of inlay take you.
- As I began my spell, I took the baron's daughter,
tally, and raised her head for another blast
of her fiery breath.
Cadmont did not even glance at her.
Only raised the hand holding the Violet glowing dust
of my defensive spell as if to remind her
that her effort was futile.
Suddenly, one strong warrior rose forward
and launched his mass brutal force
directly at the wizard in a single desperate leap,
lunging, I struck the outstretched hand.
Violet dust was scattered on the air.
The wizard glared at me in fury,
his expression flickering through
a gamut of emotions in a split second,
anger, confusion, amazement, shock,
as he realized he had dropped the dust
of his defensive spell.
Fear as he saw the dragon about to unleash her breath,
but I was sure that the last thing I saw
stamped on the wizard's face
an instant before the fire streamed down
was a look of acceptance at the wizard's fate.
There was a long moment of silence,
two burning bodies lay on the ground.
Cadmont, and that of the warrior who had dashed forward.
There had not been time to flee the flames of the blast.
I got to my feet and went over to the body of the comarade.
I and the remaining warriors joined him.
His name is Akuli.
Roll a five or higher to join alliances
with Cadmont's army and to proceed
to the next demon citadel.
- As I pass on through the forest,
I reach a high bank formed by a ledge
of moss-covered rock.
Climbing down the bank, I notice a cave
with a large Boulder rolled across the entrance.
The Boulder has been crudely hewn
to resemble an angry face
as if warning travelers to stay away from this spot.
I turn, scanning the darkness for signs of habitation,
a glimmer of light catches my eyes
far off between the trees.
Roll a five or higher to successfully push the Boulder.
If I roll the Boulder aside to get into the cave,
I advance to the next demon citadel.
- Your quest is for nothing!
- It is a game.
- It's not a game.
- This is a game.
- It is not a game!
- It's a game!
- It's not a game.
It's not a game!
- It's a game!
- It's not a game.
- It is not a game.
- You want to kill your friend.
And it's all because of some fantasy game.
- It's not a game.
- It is a game.
- It's not a game.
- It is not a game.
It is not a game.
- It is not a game.
It is not a game, it is not a game, it is not a game.
- This is a game!
Your friends were playing this game.
- It is not a game.
- But it is a game.
It's a game called 13 demons.
It came out 20 years ago.
- It's not a game.
- Tom Wilkins was also one of your friends.
He was playing this game with you.
- It is not a game.
- You killed 12 people, including a five year old boy
in the last month.
It's all part of some fantasy game.
- Oh spare me your inconsistencies, fool.
I've told you all that you need to know.
Now, release me from my bonds or suffer the consequences,
and all of this will be on your heads.
This blood.
- It's a game!
- Fools.
You're all mad.
Release me from my bonds, bring me my weapon.
- No.
- Tell me he is close.
I must defeat him.
I must.
- This is a game, it's all in your head.
This is all in your head, none of it is real.
- No, bring me my weapon, this has to be done,
this has to be seen through.
I must complete my mission.
- You are not on any mission.
- The sake of the realm is at hand.
- You're confused, it's a game.
This is only a game.
- The very essence of your presence
will be erased from history unless you release me.
- But this is just a fantasy game!
- It's not a game.
- It's just a game.
- It's not a game.
- It is a game.
- It's not a game.
- No, this is not a game.
This part isn't a game.
This is a game.
- It's not a game.
- This is game.
- It is not a game!
- This is a game!
- This is not a game!
- It's just a fucking game!
- It is not a game!
- It's a game, look you fuckwad, this is a game!
- It's not a game!
