"Krom from I.T." is the second episode of the Offices & Bosses miniseries. It was originally released on January 18, 2017.
Krom the Fingarian joins the campaign to retrieve the Q4 numbers, as our band of adventurers contends with…Happy Hour!
Summary
The players settle in for their next campaign. Flower is absent, so Krom will play her character, Gail Davidson-Durst; Krom hasn’t played Offices & Bosses since he was a young Fingarian. It turns out that Flower’s character sheet is mostly doodles of stamens pollenating pistils. The players introduce their characters and Metamore picks up the game at the end of the work day in a bar below the office called Stocks and Blondes.
A newly-fired John Bastion (Usidore) is approached by Emily to express her condolences and reveals that she heard Roz hates Bastion. Bastion dons his fedora to persuade Emily to reveal more. Not only does redheaded Erin’s sister knows someone who works for the Department of Labor but Erin is working late tonight. Bastion enlists Dan Smith (Chunt) to go and talk to Erin.
Brown-haired Aaron approaches Gail Davidson-Durst and expresses his condolences about Bastion’s firing. Aaron asks Davidson-Durst to look after his phone while he goes to the bathroom. Smith suggests that Davidson-Durst should look through it. After Arnie tires to shoe in a “to err is human” pun a few too many times, Smith then cuts off both of Orlando Bloom’s ears. In the phone Davidson-Durst finds a note that says Roz has a weakness: she doesn’t spend enough time with her family and feels guilty about it.
Noticing that Smith is still in the bar, Bastion asks why he hasn’t gone to talk to Erin. Smith points out a comically large coat and suggests that they both go. Wearing the coat, they steal Aaron’s security badge. Smith accidentally destroys Bastion’s fedora.
After the break, we pick up the game in the downstairs security area with security guard Charles. Bastion tries to use Aaron’s badge but it is denied. Smith tries to talk his way in and Charles sets him a riddle. Despite getting the riddle correct, Charles denies them entry, but suggests that there is an entrance to the basement in the loading bay. In the basement, Bloom reluctantly agrees to use his elf vision to look around. Davidson-Durst knocks over some papers, attracting a security guard. Smith returns Bloom’s ears and the elf proceeds to shoot the security guard in the head with an arrow. They search his body and find a badge, an access keycard and a pistol. Davidson-Durst is the only one who is convinced it is a firearm, rather than part of a flower.
They come to an elevator. Smith takes a shit in it so Davidson-Durst, Smith and Bastion take the emergency stairs but are exhausted when they reach the 58th floor. Bastion uses the security card, which opens the door. It is now dawn. Don from office services is there but Erin is gone. Bastion talks to Don and gets Erin’s home phone number. Davidson-Durst shares the information that she found on Aaron’s phone. The players have two options: reunite Roz with her family or frame her for murder. They decide on the former.
Bastion texts Erin on his “blackened berry”. He suggests coffee, which Erin takes as innuendo. He asks about the Department of Labor. Arnie suggests adding an emoji. Erin is now totally on board; they will have to have lunch on their next campaign.
Arnie barely has time to congratulate Krom on not flipping out and killing people before Krom proceeds to lose his cool and fucks a bear.
