"Throughout the entire way there, Tristan didn't shut up for a single minute, verbalizing anything that came to his mind", Bucky explains before turning to Beatrice and beginning to roleplay his character, "... Hey, Agnes, do you think we'll have more companions joining our group for this mission?"
"Being a total contrast to Tristan, Agnes barely said anything throughout the entire way there", Beatrice describes how her character reacted to all the chatter from the giant, before responding with absolutely no emotion, roleplaying Agnes, "I don't know, Tristan. It's quite likely that will happen."
"Tristan keeps saying whatever bullshit comes to his mind; he doesn't stop", Bucky says, reporting on his character's behavior.
Nodding in acknowledgment, Melvin turns to Beatrice and asks, "Alright, and you, Agnes? Do you want to say anything else while you're walking?"
"No, Agnes simply ignores everything Tristan is saying", Beatrice replies, acting as she thought her character would. After all, Agnes isn't the type of person who keeps chatting nonstop.
Receiving the go-ahead to continue narrating, Melvin describes the street and surroundings they were passing through before placing them in the area where the café was located, "Alright, you continue walking along the sidewalk while carts pulled by horses, bulls, and goats travel calmly along the wide two-lane street beside you two.
Magic-powered street lamps stood spaced along the edges of the sidewalks, waiting for night to fall to illuminate the area.
On both sides of the street, there were buildings up to four stories high, with a European aesthetic. Most of them were residential buildings such as houses and apartments. But logically, there were some commercial buildings here and there, like restaurants, shops, and inns.
Then, as you guys move forward along this busy sidewalk, passersby are forced to make way for you because of Tristan's size.
After walking for a few more minutes, you two arrive at a wide section of the street that curves around a giant fountain."
"The meeting point is a café, right?", Bucky asks, playing Tristan.
"GM, I want to look around and see if I can find the café we're supposed to go to!", Beatrice says, telling Melvin what she wants to do.
"Roll a Perception check for me", Melvin says, asking Beatrice to roll a test to see if she could find the café.
Rolling a d20, Beatrice says, after adding the die result to her Wisdom modifier and her proficiency bonus in Perception, in which she is trained, "Hmm… ten on the die plus seven added, seventeen."
Seeing that she successfully passed the check, Melvin begins to narrate what she sees, "Alright, with a simple glance around, you see an establishment with a large sign reading 'Woodpecker Bakery and Café' mounted right above the entrance door.
The building is set a bit back from the sidewalk to make room for a veranda full of tables with umbrellas covering them.
There are people occupying some of those tables, chatting among themselves while eating or drinking something; it's definitely there, Agnes."
"It's there, let's go", Beatrice turns to Bucky and then says, playing Agnes.
"Oh? You found it?", Bucky asks, surprised, playing Tristan.
"Are you guys going to that café?", Melvin asks to be sure.
"Obviously", Beatrice replies for both of them.
"Tristan, as soon as you two get close, you immediately realize that you won't fit inside this establishment", Melvin says, creating a problem for Tristan to solve.
"I want to go in anyway", Bucky says. Tristan is kind of clumsy and certainly wouldn't think much about that problem; in his head, the half-giant would simply try to enter and only realize his mistake after being warned or already being inside.
"Could I have gone in before him?", Beatrice suddenly asks, already imagining that Bucky's character would get stuck in the doorway.
"I actually imagined that you went in first and Tristan followed right behind, kind of getting stuck in the doorway", Bucky comments, having already imagined that Beatrice's character had done that.
Narrating how the scene unfolds, Melvin asks Bucky, wanting to know what he would do in that situation, "Upon seeing Agnes enter the café, you follow her only to find yourself stuck in the establishment's entrance door. Do you want to force your way in, Tristan?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Bucky says, "Ehh, yes, but I want to be careful not to break anything."
"Roll an Athletics check with disadvantage for me", Melvin asks, wanting a test to see if Tristan would get through the door without breaking anything or if he would end up causing damage unintentionally.
"Ehh, I have to roll 2d20, take the lower one, and then add eight, right?", Bucky asks uncertainly, wanting to be sure before rolling the dice.
"Yes, you have twenty Strength, and you're trained in Athletics, right?", Melvin replies before asking to be sure.
"Yeah", Bucky answers, nodding in confirmation.
"Alright, that's right, you can roll", Melvin says, gesturing for Bucky to go ahead.
Rolling 2d20 and taking the lower number, 3 in this case, Bucky adds five from his Strength modifier and another three from his proficiency in Athletics. "Alright, ehh… let me see… three plus eight added, eleven."
Seeing that he failed the check, but that it wasn't an extreme failure, Melvin narrates how Bucky's character manages to enter the café, unfortunately breaking everything in his path. "You do try to be careful, but your body is very large; the doorframe gives way and cracks under your strength.
And logically, a half-giant forcing his way into the establishment draws the attention of everyone near the entrance.
And as if it weren't enough that you had already destroyed the entrance door, as you try to straighten your posture, you sink your head and torso into the ceiling."
"Do your characters have the money to pay for this damage?", Jimmy suddenly asks. About 12 minutes had passed since they started playing, and so far it had been quite fun, even though his character still hadn't entered the scene.
Ignoring Jimmy's question, Bucky says, describing what he wanted to do, "Holy shit… alright, alright! As soon as I make that hole in the ceiling, I bow with an apologetic look on my face before starting to ask forgiveness for the mess."
"While you apologize, bent over, and the people around you only feel fear toward you because your apologetic face remains quite intimidating, a middle-aged human woman wearing a simple white dress arrives at the scene in a hurry.
With her brow furrowed, she looks at the hole in the ceiling, looks at the destroyed door, and then, when her expression turns into pure rage, she looks at you and asks: {What the hell do you think you're doing, you abomination?}", Melvin continues his narration, making a point of looking Bucky up and down with a look of disgust and superiority characteristic of someone prejudiced.

(AN: 1,150 Words)
Explanation before anyone points it out: I don't understand anything about RPG systems, even less about D&D; I just like to follow campaigns from time to time, so the way they are playing is probably wrong.
And I imagined Mundungo looking like a Wendigo from Until Dawn, only bigger, in raw flesh, red of course, agile, walking on the ceiling and walls, eyes wide open and glassy, teeth like the clown from IT when it opens its mouth.
Quick explanation that will appear in all chapters from now on: If you can get this fic up to the top 50 in the Power Stones ranking and keep it at least there, I promise to publish two full chapters per week, divided into four smaller chapters throughout the week because the site prefers to reward frequency over anything else.
Thank you for reading another chapter!
