Come say "YAAAGH!" on discord! https://discord.gg/ahCf8TcfH4


0:00 Content, warning, The Following episode contains instances of gun, violence, suicide, and implied sibling, abuse listener. Discretion is advised. Welcome back to Daniel's dread Tails. I'm your host. Daniel is that my title host, host doesn't seem horrifying enough. I'm your ghost host out, figure it out. Anyway, this week, we wrap up our first game with our final episode of the dance in the blood, with our newly discovered siblings.

0:54 Now dealing with bizarre medical mysteries in science at this. Maybe is all happened before. Will they be able to make it out alive with their sanity intact? Probably not it's a Cthulhu game that the chances are pretty low. Welcome back, guys know. It's been a little bit since we last played. Do you remember what was going on Professor? Oak? Brock and Misty. We're on their way from Pallet Town. No no wrong wrong thing that you were doing though? We should baby A Pokemon game. Sometime a Pokemon on the horror podcast. There's Ghost Pokemon. There are ghost Pokemon that used to be children dibs on Flume. I'm also intrigued by your, which one of you is which on on that assessment.

1:40 But speaking from experience, every Pokemon tabletop RPG is rough in different ways so have fun. Yeah. Yeah they have yet to find a perfect one, those a couple good Pockets out there for two. Anyway, so we're in the town of Manistee. Why are we in this little town of Manistee? Somebody want to say we are all related and we just found out. We all came here for different reasons and then we discovered that we're all related. And now we're having horrible nightmares about a mysterious ritual which our doctor is weirdly into. It just seems like a good time.

2:24 Correction dr. Laws and Helen are related. I am not related to these two. Just putting this one on the books. Oh right, you're in denial. Okay, I forgot I'm not in denial, I'm right? Yeah. The music tells me otherwise and as any sort of weird Supernatural stuff that happening. Well, you've been looking at looking for this. Well now that you mention it man. Pretty normal right? Pretty normal. Oh yeah, yeah. Except for the part where your Can brother is a zombie now we're seeing them getting treated. Okay. Well you know what you're having a bad time. You just maybe listen to some music on the radio, right? Sort of sort of relax.

3:04 Oh yeah. All we only hear, static and background voices. That's fun. Also, we found this horrifying node of a fairy tale. That involves monsters in a school because we were investigating a school. So seems like you guys remember, what's going on a little? Little bit. Just gotta got a baby figure this out. I remember I discovered a clue for us but I don't remember what oh yeah, I found out where the mysterious Stone thing. We've all been seeing in our dreams as I do remember taking the brother to the hospital and we left that Island weird had no reason to go back to be clear. It's not an island.

3:51 It's just the other side of the lake lake. Same place. I like it Island seemed almost like the opposite of each other. Well, I think, after you've had your lovely night sleep and it's definitely peaceful. No, it's pretty nightmarish. Let's maybe just maybe officially get into this then. And I know you may say that there's a reason why you wouldn't want to look into this. But I would encourage you to check your drives. Is that your characters have? Which are the things that keep me motivated, you to look into these things. Even when it would maybe make sense for you to just fucking leave. I'm thirsty for knowledge and extramarital affairs. I love how you've added this extra marital Affair section to your character.

4:44 I mean, not really, I guess it's technically there. I was at trial gave you but you're really leaning into it. Yeah, Helen just really wants to get the get a really gnarly painting out of this. So the creeper this shit gets the more she can work with. I guess it's my duty to find out all wrongdoing that's happening on the island by the other side of the lake, I've got to figure out what's going on. Because you know, look any Lovecraft character often. The choice that really should be taken as be like, cool, white. My head's are this. To leave. Can't do that reporting show. So let's hop back into it.

5:29 I believe that you were probably staying in what in the hotel, back on the east side of the lake where you been staying before? And Cosmic, oh in the interim. I've actually read an audiobook and it's pronounced. Chizik is it routes chessick? Oh well I believe you ke. Ke ke SWIC K is chasing something like that. It was well go now. Okay I believe you cool Cheswick cesare. Also. These are real places Mel? Yeah I know these are real places. Yeah and and of yeah they're in the Lake District. I don't know if Manistee is real but Jessica's it is his majesty real?

6:17 Yeah I did not know these were real place. Has that's cool after a night of upsetting dreams that are at this point. So full of static and Whispers that you can't quite even tell. What's going on. You all just feel yourselves underneath the Earth you wake up to another gloomy day of the Lake District. What would you like to do? Well, first of all, I'd like to check my pulse last. I recall it was starting to slow down a bit. Oh no, no, your pulse is fine, it's a oh we know huh? Weird barely have a pulse.

7:01 That's okay, so that medical science still hasn't figured out the reason for pulse an excellent doctor. As always I think that's going to be our first stability, test potential loss of four difficulty three. Alright I forget how this works. I also completely forgotten how stability tests work. Okay. So you roll one six and you're going to use your stability for that. Now, that's only if you want to, you can spend your stability points to increase your rating. If you succeed, you will not lose any stability outside of any points that you might have spent if you fail. Looks like I'm already down to zero.

7:41 Yes, you already down to zero but don't worry, you could get all the way down to negative like 14 before you go permanently, Matt. So I rolled a two. Okay, you rolled a 2 so that means you're going to. I see, you're going to lose for stability. I will say there. The one way that you could get stability back is if you explicitly act within your drive in which case you can get to pool points of stability back. So if you explicitly a calling out like, oh I'm doing that because of one of your drivers. Wives, you can get, get a bonus there but if you are at zero or up to negative 5, you are shaken which means most of your roles are going to get plus one difficulty if you're getting into a combat, but why would we get into a combat that would be ridiculous.

8:37 There's nothing really to fight. We're just looking at some stuff. Yeah so you take your pulse and it doesn't feel like you have much of a pulse which is odd. Your skin feels. We are to anything else you'd like to do this morning, dr. As you're coming down. What, what's your morning look like today? Oh, I'm gonna go meet up with my siblings and have them. Check my pulse. Hey guys, look at this. Oh god, well, I don't know if they've gotten up or not. What what are we doing other guys? Helen does what she does every morning gets herself up, packs up canvas and paint supplies and then goes out to face the day.

9:20 Great. Are you guys want to get like breakfast down in the down in the restaurant in the hotel? Your inner breakfast, sounds great in real life. I'm actually a little hungry. I should probably eat something soon. Well, you'll be driven mad soon enough and then you can eat some food where we're going. We don't need breakfast to see, cool. And how about you Jonesy. Oh, Where Did You Sleep Last Night? Jonesy. Oh, since we're on the other side of the lake, I just went to go to the same little Havoc that are not Havoc hammock lean-to, or whatever. I can't remember the shack of mrs. Travis, I slept down.

10:05 Slept got up. Did my Gentleman thing where I took some flowers that she was growing? Put them on the porch. She walked my way over to the bar to say hello to everyone that I am working with and how you feeling this morning? I feeling. All right, a little weird things happen. How could we have a stability test? I mean, not a role. Just where are you at? In terms of stability, I'm a threesome stability. Yeah akiza. He's a little kind of like this is a little strange things going on but you know, it's It's the other side of England so well you guys can meet up in the little restaurant in the in there and you could check it with each other this morning. It sounds like the doctor was showing off his pulse. I think.

11:02 The look, it's so slow. Have you ever seen a pulse this slow? I politely asked you to stop showing that off. Please just that make you at all. Want to check your pulse. I diagnolly age. The problem. I acknowledge that fact you're good. Yeah, no I'm good. In an in an active effort to not drive herself crazy Helen chooses not to check her own pulse. You hear the telephone ring behind the one of the desks there and you hear somebody else? Yeah, I guess that wasn't a gal.

11:46 It's more of a crumble. That's their sort of talking on the phone. Somebody is again back to reading their book, they got the morning shift today. They don't want to talk to you, as they are finishing up, murder on the Orient Express. And sort of looks over. It's a laws doctor laws that you, that's my name, all right? Call for you from the hospital and he is probably, but my brother Jeffrey, I don't care. I says, he sets the phone down and W back. Hello, this is dr. Michael has, I'm married and it still counts, Ahoy doctor laws. I just wanted to check in with you, did you get as your brother come to see? You know, we had left him in your care. Something happened?

12:33 Yes, yes. Well, he seems to have escaped escaped his little much. It's not like we locked him in, but, um, he has left and we thought maybe that he had gone to see you, but is that I guess not? Huh, God don't worry about it, I'm sure he'll turn up. We've got something important to do later. Okay, well, his consistency condition, see very serious and he was Rather manic in the evening screaming about something. Please have him return if he's able, although you are the the doctor. So I supposed well, we'll look around here.

13:14 Have a lovely day. Dr. Loss and you as well. Well, it seems Jeffries escaped. What, how is he able to move? He was barely able to like speak. That is true. That that is a little bit odd. He seemed almost catatonic, except for what he was Was freaking out. Oh boy. Well I don't know what to tell you. He's gone missing though. Know that Jeffrey. He's always been pretty good at squirming out of his bonds. Where would he have gone? He's done this before. Oh, yes games, we used to play as children, I'd tie him up and he would escape and, you know, that sort of thing. Why was he tied up? And why were you playing escape games Helen? What do you think about all this? I think you're a sociopath.

14:01 What is that? I do prefer to take the social path. Yeah. He seems the social time. Helen died. Yeah, I guess you are. He is a sociopath good word, Good Wood. Does that make me also sociopath hmm, you can be anything you set your mind to hmm as I leave it be anyway. Well interesting, you say that? So Jonesy you saying that? At that might make you a sociopath that would imply that these people are your siblings. No, no, no, no, excuse me, voice in my head. No that does not make me the same as them that I'm just saying I'm very sociable and I take the correct path as a proper gentleman. Sure.

14:52 Okay. Well what would you like to do today? It is a duty to these people that I have met and had a great time. I'm with, and I do owe a debt to. It is my duty to go help find where? This brother is good doctor. Do you know where he might have gone? Or does he do anything? That seems that would be closed. Hmm. Well, he did. Turn up over there and Cheswick. Maybe he went back there. You're in chessick. Wait, wait. Oh no. Manistee. He did turn up in Manistee. Maybe he's over there again. How would he you get there if the ferry hasn't left yet? Helen Helen, please talk to him in theory. You could walk around the lake.

15:41 There's a road as well. It's possible. He went to those to that site. That I discovered that I learned about the one that we've been seeing in our dreams Well, I'm for checking that out perhaps. We should take the ferry. Then I will go with you to see what you guys have been dreaming. Yes, let us away. All right so who's paying for my fee? No, I've got this very cheap. All right, perfect. Let me just get a drink for the road, barkeep, gin and tonic. Yeah, sure. I forget what I was drinking. It was mispronounced a brander brander.

16:22 ER, yes, I'll take a brander for the road as well. I think I think I said Scotch for my choice. Fine. Fine. There you go. My favorite morning drinking. Wonderful way to shrug off the chill of the brisk English Countryside. Yeah, it's very overcast today. There's not much sun and it's a Saturday so not too many people are out doing much. The the ferry is pretty empty especially if you're catching one of the earlier ones as you're heading over and you're looking over at Manistee. You don't see anything in particular though. You do hear the the radio, static on as you continue to head over again it seems all radios are just emitting static.

17:08 Everywhere you go and as you get off the boat, you start to hear something different. There's a strange drifting tune, like notes in the radio. Static, it seems to be calling to you a little bit, but regardless it's, you can't stop here again. And it seems to be coming from the old school house. Well, there's music coming from the old schoolhouse Coco melon. I don't want to go back to the old school house. Yet hate someone called me a bum in front of that building. How about we? Just don't go there. Hmm, I'm a gentleman not a bum.

17:51 Well, I'll go check it out. Nobody's gonna mistake me for a bum. Oh, so you want to split up? Okay, have you go by yourself? Well let's let's just go because you can't split up if you'd like I'd Not too. I don't, I I am a firm believer in safety in numbers and we are very unsafe. Oh, Sister. Safety is Just an Illusion. What the fuck is your problem? I think he's always been like this, though. I mean, he hit zero sanity, I guess, or excuse me, stability. As you get closer, the tune grows more. Insistent, the rhythm is pounding, and the pitch is is writhing. You feel it, almost It's like a heartbeat but an irregular one like that of a dying man and from the Gate of the school you look.

18:43 And you see that there are two little girls dancing in the school yard in front of the door. Fuck that the the dance you know, this dance or at least two of you too. It's the one from your dream, the one that was being done in the circle with holding your arms out. Leaping and whirling and bizarre patterns and they're dancing around at dark bloody shape on the ground. Hey girls, what's that? Miss shapen lump you're dancing around difficulty five stability, test. Oh my God, actually, no. Okay. Difficulty, three loss of five, stability, tests, but was that a was that a roll?

19:24 Okay, dr. Laws roll the to. Okay, that's five death for you, Helen Helen still hanging in there. You can spend it to the negatives. I have one stability, so, I'm probably not going to be using any of my stability points, anytime soon. Okay, I'm just saying, I'm gonna use one of my stability points. Okay, make your role, we passed, we pass, right, but it's difficulty for, I thought it was three. Did I? I did say three, didn't I? Well, for some reason it was a very easy test. Fine, shouldn't poor. But I said three and I'm a Man of my word it seems to be a pig on the ground. It has been cut its throat and shoulders and calves have been cut open with what looks like a bread knife? A bread knife.

20:17 Yes. And the girls are dancing around. And they're nightdresses appear black. Some of that is the dirt from around here, but as you inspect a closer, it seems to be congealed blood. There is a radio right next to them which is playing the music. How is that, why? This adventure is called dancing, the blood kind of. So what does -9 stability mean your mind? Is now blasted you permanently lose one from your overall stability rating. Besides that, no real effects of happens, unless we start fighting in which case there will be some other effects. All right, well, I'm still going to dance around this pig. Oh, you're gonna join the dance.

21:03 Why he did dance with those kids earlier Helen you did dance with the kids earlier. Fuck it's, of course, it's a real funky dance and all the kids are doing it. So, one thing that I want to point out, how Ellen, I think that pig belongs to that farmer. We can't be here. If he sees that he'll he'll blame us either. We have to go report this to the farmer. No, get the farmer. He can join the dance, or we gotta turn off that radio and get the doctor to stop dancing. I'm punching the radio. I kick the fucking radio. She just kicked the rabies All right.

21:46 The girls sort of wake up as if, from a trance a little bit and they begin to cry and they both are mostly looking at the doctor actually and saying why is he dead? Why is he dead? He supposed to wake up the dance. Wakes him up. He's supposed to sink into the ground and that he'll live forever like in her dreams. So uh, Jonesy just walks up and goes, um, when you bury things, And it's not a plant. They don't come back. What do you mean?

22:29 He comes back when you bury it? No we don't need to. He just goes down, he goes into the ground. And then he lives forever in the ground once he sinks into it, anyone here real religious. So you want to when I explain I guess that. Hmm, yeah. If you'd like you could use one of your abilities as well. So it's sort of an escape. What's going on here? They are really losing their minds. They are like like getting hysterical. Are these are two same little girls. Are these are the two little girls that are? Perhaps, your half-siblings. I think we Take them home.

23:09 It's a shot in the dark, but does my knowledge of art history? Give me some insight into this weird sinking resurrect of dance. Not really. If you would like you could make a spends to maybe have an idea of it. You know what? I'll do that because I haven't been really burning my points at all and so you could spend the point of art history to know a little bit about it, but besides that, This seems as good a time as any as you're looking at. It. It reminds you of no real dance. You have ever performed or learned about, or ever seen, But it reminding. You a little bit of the medieval dancing. Place in England, Where villagers would dance, uncontrollably non-stop until they would die of exhaustion. That's what it's reminding.

24:03 You of the church at the time, denounced it as a pagan ritual, death and rebirth. But and that these all these people that were dancing were possessed real thing. Dancing plagues. By the way, check your history books. You got the one I know about was in France. Yeah, it was, it happened. They happen a lot in France, but they have it all over. Medieval Europe, dance. Place but it's reminding you of that. Oh I just noticed that I've got reassurance of my sheet. I've got an idea to reassure these children's of. What are you going to do that? Don't worry children. The big will be fine. There are plenty of things you can put in the earth and they come out fine. We're arms Gophers siblings, okay? You are terrible at this.

24:50 Wait, hold up. What do you mean by siblings? Dr. Laws. They are calming down a little bit. Did you want to bring them back to their mother? That's a good idea. If we run into the farmer, I would like to say, hey found your pig, it's dead. You don't see the farmer while you're walking, you could deliberately look for him if you'd like but you don't see him. It's a it's a pretty cold morning. Not many people are getting out of that just yet. Yeah. If I don't see him, I'm not gonna bring it up. No, need to push our luck. We're already running out of it as is. Yeah you could bring them back to Mary and she is distraught seeing what is going on here and sort of puzzles.

25:41 The girls inside is like girls girls, please. Please get changed. Don't and I don't just all this disgusting mud on your dresses. I was, I was worried sick about you. I'm thank you so much for finding them I guess. Guess family looks after Family. Come on in girls girls wash up. What happened? What were they doing? Yeah, really. Not going to like the answer to that question. I don't I don't that's very ominous. So, we found them dancing to a song on the radio around around a pig carcass her face sinks. When you say that, she sort of a puts her hand over her mouth and sit down.

26:33 And seems to not know what to say is has like I know the year and dancing group of kids, but does this happen often? She seems unwilling to say anything at the moment outside of maybe. If you have a skill you could use. Oh I do have reassurance. Yeah, I'll just spend all just spend all my Resurgence of to or you don't need to spend it again. You're with your investigative skills. You just say you're going to use it. To spend is to get a huge thing, just to reassure somebody. A little bit would be okay. Although actually actually I take it back, she's really Having a rough one.

27:13 So you might need to actually, somebody should make a interpersonal, spend some sort credit rating is an interpersonal spend slides you a 20. Hey, what the fuck is going on? Okay, so who's spending it? Sorry I am not that was out of character. Yeah, I'll just spend my to reassurance. Okay. So you're able to how do you comforter, how do you reassure her? So I just sit down and I take off my hat and put my cane down and dust off my stuff and make myself as fancy as possible. And excuse me, but I know you're stressed out and the world feels like it's overwhelming, but there are people especially us your two siblings over there, and I point to Helen and Doctor laws and be like they care for you and I'm here.

28:08 Here a gentleman and a man of his word to help you out. If you just tell us what's going on, in what has you in fear? We can get to the bottom of it and maybe try to figure this out. This isn't the first time they've done this. 22 years ago, they they killed our dog. And danced around it and they were disappointed, it didn't come back to life. Well, they're time's the charm, shut up. Oh okay.

28:53 And so Jones is gonna stand up and look at Helen and just point to sit next down to your sister and just comforter well Jonesy kind of walks outside and has a moment for the record. This would not be your sister. This would be your Stepsister. Or I guess this would be your step mother. I've because you're, it's your father's new wife, so, why? It's there their stepmom? Okay. Yeah, it's their stepmom. Oh, right? Yes there. Yes, we are. We are holding onto the dial aspect here.

29:34 I passed that test. Don't know what you're talking about. Do you go sit next to her? Yes, I when you left, I started. Looking around through through some of Jack's old things and I found something that I don't know if you could do anything with this. But I understand he left a journal, actually, he destroyed he ripped up the pages of his journals, but I found some remains. I think I know where he went Jack's family. They, they own a house. Just on a ridge above the town on the maidan more.

30:18 They called it. The maiden house. Nobody's nobody's used it for years. I don't think. But that might be a place you could look, I don't, I don't really have anything else to say. I'm so worried about about the girls. Helen Pats are reassuringly. Don't worry. We're going to do everything. We can to try and bring this to an end. That's what I'm afraid of. Our laws. How what are you doing during all of this besides saying terrifying creepy things making tea? Oh, you just make it t in somebody else's kitchen, their family. They could yourself at home.

30:58 Well, it is England. Someone's got to make the tea duly noted stiff, upper lip and all that. Okay, what would you like to do now? Well, I'm driven to go check out this house by my thirst for knowledge. Okay, well, you know what? I'll give you two points to Ability restoration on that. Well, would you look at that? Who knows? Maybe it'll give us, give me something nice to paint. And by nice, I mean, horrible, either way. I want to see it. I mean, I don't but the creative spark demands. It all right, you know what to stability points. That's sweet.

31:39 You only get that once per session. But hey, I'll take it. You can't just be like I want to paint that. It just get on stability ties, back all the time. Like I feel like we're We're move. Maybe I'm going crazy but I feel like we're moving into the end game. So if there was ever a point where we're going to, you know, get something nice for Helen to paint it soon. I'm sorry. Did I say nice? I still meant. Horrible. How about you Joan? See you down with the plan. So Jones it comes back and his face is kind of pale and just goes. Oh, man, this is rough. Oh, anyways, stiff upper lip and all that.

32:20 And he just asks dr. Lawson Pelin. So what's the plan? Well apparently Jack owned a home. Oh good ways off called it the maiden house. She thinks that's where he's gone. That's where he went. Maybe, that's where dr. Balazs brother went. Maybe that's where we can end all this. I don't know, but it's worth a try, right? I like the phrase to get the bottom of this. Not Not to end all this else. Get to the bottom of this. Oh we're certainly going to be going down to Jack's house. Yeah, exactly. Hey okay.

33:01 Thanks, dr. Laws knows what he's up. All right, look, well, I guess I'll lead the way. I don't know where this is that, did she tell you, she sketched out some basic directions. It's gonna be a bit of a walk. Well, we've been doing a lot of that lately, especially because you don't have a car or anything but, um, okay. Okay. Okay, okay. If you're dedicated to I'm sorry it's not get over you there. But if you're dedicated to make it this walk you could go for it. So as a gentleman is there, are there any cars around that? My be not in use right now?

33:42 Oh my fucking god. Well, So even if you had a car it's kind of there's not really a road to where you're going. It's just North into the Moors. What about roller skates? Are there roller skates, but there's not a car in use, is there like a rugged truck around? That's nice and you see, it's looks like it can be borrowed and returned with know. No issues fascinating? Yeah, I think you're getting the farmer has a truck. Yeah. You know what?

34:23 Let's go ask the farmer. I do not know. Mmm, this is a bad idea. So let's do we know where that farmer is. Yeah. You lives dress right across the street from the school house, okay? So let's go visit the farm real quick. Trust me. He'll and I know what I'm doing. It's a gentlemanly thing to do to make sure a ladylike. Self does not walk a long distance. You get down there and you see the farmers truck is there, but the farmers thought you must be working somewhere. I can, I use three points of my stealth just to kind of do a quick walk around of the of the farm to see if the farmers there.

35:08 Okay? So the stealth is going to be a stealth check difficulty for. So if you spend three points, you will succeed automatically because you will roll it. At least a once a one. All right. Yeah, I'm gonna spend the three points. You're able to sneak around the farm is not going to see you. I just want to do a quick perimeter. It do I see the farmer and everything like that before I come back? No, he must be. You must have, like, must be doing something you're the pigs nearby but you know, see you don't hear him. Okay. All right. Okay, so, Helen quick write a note saying we'll be back Soon. Okay, this is insane. She says as she does exactly that. Perfect.

35:53 Perfect, then I'm going to use all, I'm going to use four points of Mike mechanical repair. If this works to essentially take the car, take the truck. Oh, you only need to spend three. All right? Yeah, because you would roll a one. Yeah. All right. Yeah, I'm used to three points. Okay. Do any of you know, how to drive? I have 10. I have no points in driving, all right? So I know how to get in these things. I just do not know how to drive these things. Does anyone know? It's a useful combination of skills. Yes, I can drive it. Alright, perfect. So ya Jonesy just gets in there here. A little rumbling and him kind of like cussing real quick and then you hear the, the, the rumble of the engine and like, okay, get in quick and we're out. I will, of course, turned on the radio. Yeah.

36:39 You notice that while you're going get your hearing the exact same thing on every station. Helen immediately turns it off. Sure. The fatca up. Yeah, we're turning the enough. Okay, too. So like I said, there's not really a road to where you're going. In fact, the terrain is pretty rough. You're going to need to make a difficulty for driving test. I will spend two points. You want there to be a chance. You fail, always a boy and there it is. Well no, you rolled a 3 plus your two points. So yeah, you spent two points, so that's a 50 right? Okay, we're good. It takes a A while for you to get there but you do get there.

37:21 It's in like it's like 2:00 by the time you get there that's in the the afternoon. As you are approaching though, you see it on a hill? Do you just drive the car? Straight up there is, you do see that the windows are shuttered as you are approaching it, there's no footpath or anything like that. Are you going to try to sneak up? What are you just going to drive up to it? What do you think? Siblings drive up for sneak up? Just to be on the safe side that were not seeing with the truck that we borrowed. Why don't we park it here? And then put will be back soon and put that note on the dashboard or whatever we call it and we walk up to the house. Does that sound like a good idea? Sure.

38:15 Yeah, I votes. Sneak to I let one of you. Write the note. Yeah, Helen you have more paper. Oh my God. Helen pretends to write the note. There's a lot of movement. I don't hear any scruple in. Hmm. You must be going deaf anyway, probably. All right. Well, if you want to approach the cabin, stealthily, difficulty six, stealth roll. Yeah, Helen doesn't have any points in stealth so, you know, like it was nothing in there. Yeah, you could also just roll and see what happens. What was the difficulty on that 60? I'm great at rolling sixes. If you would like you could do a group activity where one person rolls and everybody else has 20, you need to spend a point that you have you guys don't have any points at stealth.

39:00 Oh, I have a point in self. You have a point. That's tell ya. How about dr. Laws and Helen nothing? Nope. Oh, well never mind. You just gotta roll. Yeah, we can't even do the other option. So we're good. Well, I'm good turns out very good at spelling. I can't believe you just rolled a 6. Hi did the opposite of rolling a six year old A1 and Josie. You gotta five. He didn't spend any points that I did. You know? No points. Okay, well dr. Laws is unheard but you two were heard as you approach the thing, like, you guys have never done this before. Oh my God. So the one person, the won't the one person who we genuinely cannot trust in the mental state. He is in, is the guy who managed to actually, you know, sneak up on the house. Yes, the windows are shuttered, the And the door is there. The porch seems kind of.

39:50 It doesn't seem like anyone's been on it for a little while, and there is a door Jonesy definitely knows how to look for trouble because it's got a report at all the police. Um, can I use sense trouble, buddy? Were deep in trouble town, but, yeah, you could, you could roll sense, trouble difficulty, difficulty for sense trouble. Okay. I'm going to spend most been three points and that makes me automatically pass. Do my hobo senses tingle. They're just not at least from me listening or whatever. There does not appear to be anyone inside. Okay, perfect the door is unlocked. So you were able to sneak in and dr. Los you go first.

40:34 Oh, absolutely. I'll sneak in. Inside the thing. You notice first is the smell of dust and wood. Some other sort of faint odour as well. You're not quite sure what it is. That's a little bit like bile just the way, I like it. Hmm. I hate everything about this. The floorboards are creaking loudly or they might except for the doctors stealth your other two, not so much and the main room this might have been sort of like a living room or something at one point, but for now there's just papers and books scattered. All over the place. There is a portable gas.

41:17 Cooker, is sort of sitting idle in a corner. There's a mirror hanging on the wall, a desk with a radio on it and some stairs that go upstairs. How how recent does all the research material and stuff? Look, it's covered in dust, it might have been years. So now Jonesy clocks. The radio looks at dr. Laws. Looks back at the radio and kind of Hurley moves over to make sure that dr. Loss does not touch that radio. So is it plugged in? Is it looks like it's in disuse or anything like that it's plugged in and it's on what? Yeah I'm unplugging that bad boy does was it making any noise? It wasn't what you unplug it.

42:06 Oh yeah absolutely I'm trying to gauge what skill one would use to sort through this This nightmarish mess on the ground to figure out what he was doing, maybe Library use. That's a stretch sort of I will maybe. Yeah. I think you could sort through the papers with libraries as you start going through. It's going to take a little while for you to go through all the papers before you get find anything. So, we'll checked with the other folks first and see what they would like to do. Oh, I think I'm going to leave these. Due to search here. While I investigate the rest of the house, you go upstairs.

42:48 One room. Seems to be just I guess I call it like a box room. It's just full of crates. And another one of the rooms on the right, is a bedroom. And as you peek inside, it seems like it's an unused bedroom. But there's something sitting on the windowsill, that catches your eye. Well, I gotta check that point behind it. It's a, it's a knife. It's like a ceremonial sacrificial knife. He's the one who found the knife, you recognize it. Oh, this is intriguing. You've held this before you remember, holding this in your dreams, I'm just going to put this in my bag for later. And what about you Jonesy?

43:30 I think Jonesy was already spooked with the radio that was on, and so he kind of just bit Been following Helen and before he realizes, where did dr. Laws go. Helen, did you keep? Did you do you know where he went? He's got, oh shit. Are we gonna go find him? Well, I'm I'm I'm making progress through here. Can you track him down? Yeah, I'll go look for him, static starts to flare out of the radio, so one we unplugged. Yeah, Helen takes a brief moment to stand up. Go over to the radio, stomp it to the Round and then go back to what she was doing.

44:11 You also realize there's no electricity in here. There's not been electricity for a while so it being plugged in was not really a thing. Hello? Hello. Can you hear me? Is that, is that his brother Thomas Helen? Michael, it's not a voice you've heard before or or is it a voice? You've heard before sound so familiar? Somehow if we don't say anything pretend like we're not here. They won't find us Helen. We gotta go find laws. Let's just go find him. Just keep going. Keep going, please, I'm so glad you're here. It's it's perfect.

44:56 It's all as it needs to be. Let's just go find laws, make difficulty for stability, tests loss of seven. I am definitely burning a point for that. I'm not in the room. Am I good? I think the radios pretty loud, but I guess, I guess you're good for now cool. How many points of stability can we burn for any given Jack? As many as you want? Okay, I'm burning two points for this. Of course, if I fail this Then I'm getting - Six if my math is right? Yeah, look you're fine until you hit - 14, okay. I survived.

45:37 Yeah, I'll burn to jokes. He barely survived, It's upsetting but but you're okay. Believe. We're running out of time your brothers in trouble. He needs your help. That's your brother god. Dammit odd. Yeah, we should definitely have I picked up anything about what he was researching at, though a little bits. You notice there were sketches. There was art that you were noticing her. I was drawn to that in particular, and there are lots of monsters worm-like. Sirs with arms, perhaps, those are himself for what he believes himself to be, but you notice that each one as you're looking at the more and more there's sort of a dark line near the bottom of each one of these worm creatures that he sketched. He thought it was shading maybe at first but you realize it's like a like a cord or a tentacle or or a route. Every single one seems to be connected to something deeper beneath the Earth.

46:50 Some Archer terrible creature, that all these worm-like creatures are connected to. So just that that's one of the things you've noticed it is time to go. It is time to go right now when when I meet whenever mother birth that Abomination so you're still upstairs, the radio is getting louder and louder, please listen to me, it's your destiny. You know, on my destiny is to get rich die in the bosom of luxury. Hurry and be happy. We're leaving dr. Laws, you can't escape it. You need not fear it, I feared it once, but you don't have to yell.

47:33 I'll come down the stairs at this point. You hear the radio talking to you who's this? Oh my God. Who's there? Who's talking? If I had to guess that would be our father through the radio talking to us somehow we should leave. Yes, it's me. It's Jack. Oh, how are you doing that? Your father, I found a way the science that we simply didn't understand. I built a transmitter we use air pressure running through the rock more powerful than electricity. I'm projecting this onto all the wireless frequencies so I could talk to you, fascinating, isn't it? But no.

48:19 None of that makes sense. Since none of that makes sense with if that's then why can nobody else here it and, and how can hear what we're saying? We just, we have to get out of here. Helen raises a good point here, Jack, what'd he have to say, for yourself Helen while your talk you off this, you as your maybe gesturing to leave towards the door, you look at your hand and you notice the skin on your hands seems loose. It seems to be like splitting apart, There's something underneath your skin, some sort of strange, grayish pink flesh underneath it.

49:00 It's um I'm at a loss guys. Ellen, why are you looking at your hand? We why don't we just stop conversing with a radio that has no power and just leave. We have a truck down the way. Let's Just leave everyone. You have a truck great, you can make it to the circle. It's time for the ritual. You need to sing your brother down. He's the oldest he's going through the change. Okay, wait wait, you know what I will humor? This Insanity. So dr. Wells your brother has to be sent down that do it laws. Sorry, this whole thing is just stressing me out. Out.

49:51 I get it. Yes, I was afraid once, too. I thought I was a monster. You're not a monster. You're Something greater than human. All of you are. You're not human. And that's okay. I'm English through and through. Anyways, human flesh. And Blood. Let's just leave here. Let's not humor. This, let's just leave. Come come Jeffrey. He's in trouble. You have to go to the circle. Form the ritual and cut off the shell of skin that he's trapped in to free him. Of course, it's all coming together now. Oh, wait a minute. You're talking about killing someone.

50:33 Hold up. Jack, you're killing someone. All right, now, we got a, we got to report this. We got to report this, to the police. All right, we gotta go get Jeff. No, no. It won't kill them. They'll live. They'll get to live forever. They'll be born again. You All will come here someday that we will all rise. Again, it's beautiful. Here, we got to go rescue your brother. You know what, I'd rather live a perfectly normal life as a human than deal with another second of this, you won't be able to live as a human for much longer. You'll change we all do fuck, you and Helen genuinely.

51:15 Just picks up the radio and fucking throws it out the window. You do notice. Is that as you're looking around here, there's all of these notes here. And as you're looking around, you see, even if you throw it away, maybe Jack was going to give you some more stuff here, but they're a cult books that are told. There are three books that are called the Great cycle scattered around the room. There are crazy notes all over the place. There seems to be like diagrams for some sort of transmitter and whatnot. But you just want to leave all this stuff here. I just grab those and I can read them in the truck. Oh definitely bring the transmitter notes for science for science.

51:59 Yes, of course. Helen. Your heart seems to have stopped beating so you guys go back to the truck. Yeah, I guess so does Helen drop no Helens Helens walking around and she's having a pretty bad time of it. I might add you just you know, her heart stopped beating anymore. Helen are you all right? By the way as you're leaving, you see a Evil by the door. Oh, maybe someone should grab that and we'll take care of that pig when we get back. Yeah, good idea. Good idea. I'll grab the shovel. I'll grab the shovel. You recognize it from a dream. It looks familiar. The shuffle time seems to have been moving strangely inside that building. The sun has set, we were only in there for five minutes guys. What in the world just happened?

52:44 Know you were in there for a lot longer and you see just a little bit further. His castle rig Circle. It's very close to this house and you hear music coming from it. All right, everybody pile into the truck, will go to the circle, pick up Jeffrey and then get off this island and then we can go split our ways. Well that sounds fine, it's not Island. Absolutely that is definitely the plan John's. He doesn't know that he leaves. Oh God, Helen's. Quietly reads the books. While we're driving there or at least skims them, there is a great cycle.

53:25 Every hundred years give or take the creatures rise up and destroy the works of Man Manistee has been Disturbed destroyed by these creatures twice before and soon Manistee will be destroyed Again by them and someday maybe the whole world is there anything in the books about how to stop this? No was there. Probably something about how to stop this. In the notes and the house. I don't know you left. Yes, we did. You make your way up to the circle? Jeffrey is there. He's laying on the ground in the middle of the circle. Screaming, writhing, in pain. Don't worry, Jeffrey brother's here.

54:05 Hell yeah, He'll be all right. Now we got to take him to a hospital in figure out what's going on. Thank God, give me a couple minutes. We'll pop that chill off and get you in the ground. You have to help me dr. Laws, we don't pop a shell. Look, we gotta go just pick him up Jonesy you heard Jack. It's our destiny. Yeah. Jackson saying he's dead. Let's just go pick him up. Put him in the truck and get out of here. I'll grab the shovel just in case things get hairy. Helen. I got a straight razor in my pocket, so grab that just in case to. Yeah. Oh, by the way Helen, when you read about that stuff, sorry forgot to mention stability.

54:47 Loss 7, wait. How much do you have left? Positive 1. Oh yeah, I'm totally fine with the loss of seven. Yeah, that's fine. Cool. I'm at negative sixth ability. Anyway, well since it's become abundantly clear. That Helen is not a human, has never been a human and will soon lose the You know, the ability to do anything including painting, she decides to just, you know, as she's losing her mind set up an easel. Take out a canvas and start painting the sight of this horrible ritual and maybe the horrible ritual. If the horrible ritual happens, excellent, something for posterity.

55:30 Everybody hears. Hell, I'm just slowly fucking losing it in the background. It seems like before before he had really started lose again, I guess your brother must have set up a fire or something did, but there's a fire lighting, the circle, the Shadows are spreading everywhere, and you feel know what you need to do. All three of, you know what you need to do. All right, and it sounds like Jonesy at dr. Laws are a little bit at odds here. What do you choose going to do?

56:14 Jonesy, is driven by his duty to, like make sure this gets reported by the police, and it is the most important thing he has to do. So Jonesy's, going to make a beeline for Jeffrey Jeffrey, lays on the ground screaming in pain, begging for somebody to make it end. Yep, we'll get this all to end soon as we get to a hospital. Thank you head, help me. They can their science Jonesy. This is not for the medicine of men. You heard Jack you Jacks. Dead is he though? Yeah. Yeah he sure was talking to. You says the voice of your head. Listen.

56:56 Voice in the head, not the time right now. So I think you're gonna regret this Jeffrey. You're going to Hate me for at least the next few hours. So if you don't let me go, I'm not gonna live. I'm not gonna live another few hours y'all live. So I'm gonna burn three points of Athletics and pick him up. You could haul it to the truck if you'd like he's screaming in pain the entire time, but yeah, yeah, just pick him. I know you're gonna hate me but you'll thank me later for this doctor laws. What would you like to do? I'm going to pull out this sacrificial knife and pointed it Jonesy. Put my brother down Jonesy.

57:44 Look laws. This whole thing is just insane. Look you're you're married right? Still counts. Absolutely the perfect. Think about all the times, it can still count if we leave here, think about all the times it can count if we're mortal. What if you're not human, you can't say it, still counts, then it doesn't count. No, till death, do we part Jeffrey? And if I'm Immortal, we will never part. Whoa, first of all, like, we're not married, but I'm flattered, but it still doesn't count. If you're not human, we just gotta leave Helen Back me up on this Helen is cheerfully ignoring what she needs to be done. And is taking this moment to do her, what she believes, my genuine be genuinely be her last act as a human being. I think we may be getting in a scuffle. Helen would you like to spend the point of art to make this beautiful?

58:48 What's your painting? Yes. So before you do this, I see you walking be like dr. Lawson you sure you want to get into this. Um dr. Laws. That seems like he's not listening to you. Oh, it's scuffle time Jonesy you're a good man. All right, so I think you need to make a scuffling check. Okay, then I'll burn. I'll burn three more and then roll actually both of you. You make a sense, trouble, check for me, difficulty for whoever succeeds by more. Will notice something. No ice. Oh, you both tied. Oh no, no actually, no Jonesy.

59:32 That was your old Rollo. No Josie world is six. Plus three Jonesy you did. Notice that there was a shotgun in the back of the truck. Okay, so he I don't, I'm still trying to like slowly. Back towards the truck, I will say dr. Laws because dr. Los succeeded. He also knows it's there. If one of you had failed in one of you succeeded would have been good but laws laws of those that there's a shotgun there as well, but neither of you are at the truck right now, I actually believe the way the scene would be Jonesy. You ran out to at our colleague, a body. Whereas dr. Laws is a little closer to the truck but not by much. Ch. so, if this is going to be a fight, which it sounds like it is, Let's see here.

1:00:29 We got to determine who goes first. Yeah, I love this players, always sort of turned on themselves, near the end of this sort of shit. How do we know who goes first? Um, we're going to look at your fighting rated in the skill that you would be using to fight. I got Nate and scuffling. Okay, and dr. Laws. What do you have? You have a six, I have a sick. Okay, that means Jonesy will have the drop on you. If you start fighting, he'll just go. He'll get one move before you get one. Just because he's a little bit more ready to fight even holding a body.

1:01:14 Yeah, I'm hauling the body who he is, hauling it, he would need to drop the body before he could that would take up most of his time. He would need to do that, but he could do that before you stab him Jonesy. What would you like to do? As you see doctor laws, draw his knife and realized. Oh shit, it's happening Jonesy. How you gonna get out of this? Okay, so Helen lost her mind. Dr. Loss is a good man, Jeffrey. I don't know. You help me. It, I have an idea. Okay? So Jonesy and a moment of pure genius is going to flip Jeffrey around and run towards dr.

1:02:00 Laws. Which it, which every free as a shield, okay? I think you could do that. I think you could do that. Okay, dr. Laws, what would you like to do? I guess I'll go for the shotgun. You can get it. This is a bad plan. Jonesy that's fine. These are all bad plans and I'm still holding a Jeffrey as a shield and running towards dr. Laws, I'm going to body slam them. This isn't at all how my dream went. It shows he's busted up the dream. Okay, dr. Laws are you going to fire? I think so. Yes, okay, fuck. Okay. By the way, Helen, if you ever want to chime in or do anything, let me know.

1:02:44 But okay not until this paintings done difficulty for to hit your target actually difficulty 5 because there is a body in the way. Okay, once and I'm just going to spend Four Points because I have 10 in Firearms, ocean. Okay shotgun. Let's figure out how much I think you guys are at close range here and if we've got a Shotgun. So that's going to do plus 3 damage. So roll, a D6, it add 3 to it 7. Okay. Jonesy.

1:03:25 You take 7 damage to your health. How much luck to ya I'm at 3? I took up that body took most of it. Well, no it didn't. The the body did not take it. He, he made it, you made it much harder for him to hit. You is what it, what happened? Yeah. Okay, so, I'm within range, right? Yeah. All right. So I'm gonna pull out that swell. Wait to scuffling count for a straight razor. That's more of a Use check. Okay. Yeah, no. But you could use a straight razor, though. You can still use that with scuffling, yah. You could use this stuff. Like it's just gonna be one more difficulty because it's not quite the, the actual you're not trained, how to use it. Yeah.

1:04:06 All I'm trying to do is just disarmed. That's all I'm trying to do, okay. You're trying to knock his. You try to go after his hand to sort of cut it open. You get to get it. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Kind of open and drop the shotgun. Okay. What is your hit threshold doctor laws? Let's look here for for okay hit through H-hold is for if your target your specific point though, that's going to be plus one difficulty. So it will be 5 to cut doctor laws hand and one more difficulty because you're not trained with it. So they'll be 66 Saul spend all spent four points to get me to six spending Four Points will not get you. I mean if you're all the one, you'll still fail. Hmm. Okay, that's fine. Hey, you found this out? Okay, no fight.

1:04:48 No, I'll be five points then I'll be your call. Okay, we'll make a role anyway. Okay. There you go. Okay, so a knife is not going to be doing nearly as much damage as a shotgun knife, is minus 1 damage. So roll a D6 and then subtract one that's on the standard filter for damage to you dr. Loss and also as he cuts your hand, you see underneath your hands, your skin looks a little weird, but it does seeks to create quite as bad as Helens. This. Yeah, by the way, Helen tell me which one of the main features that you're painting right now. What what's maybe highlight? Out of the, the painting. Well, Right now to go with the the current events. She's added the Run roughly two figures battling over a misshapen wormy body, a little bit of embellishment on the body, but you know, little help Helen please, there's no point to any of this.

1:05:54 Dr. Laws your hand is injured. Your you can try to use the shotgun but it's going to be a plus, 3 difficulty. I think, actually, I'm going to pull a scalpel out of my bag. Oh okay. Improvised knife fight. I'll be you already have a knife, right? You have a, you have the sacrificial dagger. I'm going for something symbolic here. Okay, I'm gonna hit this into my not brother's here. I save people, I'm going to save my brother. On Z and I stabbed Jonesy or your brother. Oh, Jonesy, I guess Josie is your brother technical you stab Jonesy. Okay. Okay, so that'll be a weapon use role if you have weapon.

1:06:34 Use your weapon. Oh, I do not. So that'll be a scuffling roll with difficulty increased by 1, so that will be a five to hit. Oh, I guess a six because he still using your brother is covered, so it'll be a six. Well, conveniently enough, I have six points in scuffle, we only need to spend five. Get my head threshold is 5. Oh well, do that then? No, it's six. But a because of difficulty. So it's plus one because he is not skilled with the weapon and plus 1, because you're using his brother, as cover should be 6. But you'll need to spend Five Points because your role at least a one. All right. Roll a D6, minus 1. Well, good thing. I did for damage to you Jonesy.

1:07:14 I'm down. Now, I can save my brother, by the way. I, we're just assuming your stability. We're not really tracking any of this anymore. It's all All gone to shit. Let's tell me, let me tell you what happens with you? What's your health at now? Is that at zero or is it in the negatives? Yeah, it's at zero, it's at zero. Okay. So you are hurts and you need to pass a Consciousness test when investigators seized damage. That causes their health pool to cross from one to zero or from negative 5 to negative C but skip pass a conscience tester fate difficulty level the test is the positive value of the amount of Health points. They They currently are below. So it's the oh, so it's actually a difficulty, we still have one so it's a difficulty, one help test to stay up. So I just need a roll higher than the one. Yeah, which I think you.

1:08:06 Yeah. You got to roll higher than one. There we go. Hey, gotta 50k. You are still up but everything else is now plus one difficulty for you and you're about to, it's real. You are very much hurt. And at this point because you are, Hurt your Shield, sort of breaks free and collapses to the ground, but it is your go. So breathing, heavy bleeding, all over the place. After being stabbed with a scalpel and shot and shot Jonesy is not going down without you know. Swing in even though all this things happening he's denied all this, he is going NG to deny this, just out of spite. And he goes dr.

1:09:00 Los good thing. You're a doctor. Not a killer, and so, he's gonna try to swing at dr. Loss. All right. Yeah, he dropped. He dropped the knife to, so he's just gonna throw punches. You gotta catch his hands. So dr. Laws, the threshold would be a four because you are hurt. It's a 5-2 hit him. Okay. Yeah. So I'm gonna spend all of my the rest of my scuffling I'm going to say that's a Haymaker since it's a six. Yes, it's still not a ton of damage compared to, you know, a knife or a shotgun. So, scuffling is unarmed is a - to damage so roll. V6 is attractive, but looks like that'll be three damage to you doc.

1:09:46 All right. Let's still leaves me at three of of what would you like to do doc? Oh also Helen anything you want to do? Meanwhile, in the background Helen still painting. You're doing great guys, keep it up. What's the point? Dr. Loss. All right, one more shot with the shotgun. Doctors make, mistakes Jonesy and I roll dice for that. What's my hit Threshold at this point? So you have firearms skill his to hit. Threshold is for. Yeah, so it's for well, I'll spend the points that's a success and I still got some points left for Helen plus 3 damage, right?

1:10:27 - for now, you need to make it understand, not stability. Excuse me. Help check here. Okay, for for now. I mean, you're not. Okay, you're not to be absolutely clear. You are not. Okay, but you're not dead. You see your Shield Jeffrey is. Writhing around on the ground. But he seems to be slowing his movements. You don't know how much longer he has left. He's dying. What do you do? John? See, okay, so I'm still up practically. Yes, oh my goodness. Okay, yeah unfortunately, he rolled really poorly on his shotgun damage so Jones, he's still bleeding, probably with Buckshot, all crosses body and just kind of looks at all this and And you could lay down if you want you don't have to stay L Jones. He's going to be he's gonna keep going to the end. You could run to you could run.

1:11:26 Um did dr. Laws drop his medical bag. I don't know. We can say yes. All right so Jones he's gonna he's gonna swipe that medical bag and just bolt. Oh kids. It's you're going to run. You know. Yeah, I'll make it up letting stuff. You could also make a view of fleeing skill, know you don't have fleas. How do you know if that's an actual skill? Is it? It is it actual skill at character creation. It cost half as much as Athletics, but you can only use it to run away, okay? Yeah, no, I don't have fling, I have athletic. So, if you would like to flee into the night difficulty for athletics, actually difficulty 5 because you are hurt. Okay?

1:12:06 Can I swipe that medical bag though? Would you let him swipe the bag, or would he need to do something to try to get it? I think I have other focuses at the moment. So I'll switch. Wipe that bag in the dip, just run out a run off into the night. Yeah, with that medical bag. Yeah. Okay, cool. So you said difficulty 5, because we did so little actual of the, like, physical General abilities. You have all these points to blow at the end here. So yeah, Jonesy swipes the bag and then just runs bleeding and crying a little bit the shovel still there. Well, I guess Helen, I'll have to dig the hole now. No, yeah, your brother is begging, please.

1:12:48 You have to help me drag him back to the circle and retrieve the knife from where I dropped it. When he body-checked me and I'll go to work. Saving my brother Helen? Are you going to help him dig the hole? No, please. Since I need it, you can cut up with your brother and if you'd like you could also try to dig the hole and push him into it too. Yeah sure. This whole ritual is gone. Years. But you could do it. Where are my backup dancers? Yeah, there's nobody dancing either. They're supposed to be dancing, but you do feel. The ground is beginning to rumble a little bit and just imagining the doctor looking down with a grand and there's a bunch of sickening wet noises happening as he hacks away.

1:13:30 Yeah, that's exactly what happens. There, would probably be stability test, but at this point, you're it's not, it's not a thing. Stability is for losers. You can complete the ritual. You do it on your own. Roan. But you can perfect. The last thing you hear your brother say as he looks up to you smiling, thank you. And that his body in the dirt that you dug a little bit of sinks down into it as if he's just sinking into water, as he is pulled down into it and you hear the ground, begin to shake and Rumble and you have done it. You've saved your brother. See you soon, brother. Let's baby have the camera.

1:14:12 And and see what's everybody doing now. Maybe we'll go over to Helen first Helen. What do you do after all of this is over? So Helen looks at her, her painting her Masterpiece, you know, Smiles, happily she is created it, it's it's beautiful and horrifying grotesque parody of the violent scene that everyone witnessed, she gently puts it back down on the easel content with what she is. Made before walking over to where Jonesy had dropped his straight, razor. Picking it up and slitting, her own throat. We now cut down on to the Moors, to see an injured Jonesy, or we don't even need to see that. What when's the next time we see Jonesy? What's the continuation of Jonesy's story? Count like like a flash of different things so you see Jonesy, get some pretty clear of everything that's happening. And he kind of feels the ground shaking as he's banned, Newton himself up and just kind of like doing his best with first aid that he knows.

1:15:26 And then a few days later, you see him just kind of like trying to tell police what the heck just happened and but they don't believe them. Does he know he's a hobo? So he just kind of like, is lost dazed and confused because the reality of this kind of sink in, and he seemed just walk off and disappear in London. It will be your turn soon. Doctor laws, it's not your time, it's not your time yet. But what do you do? I think wrapping up. We see dr. Laws on the phone with his wife, Cynthia, Cynthia, he wouldn't believe. The last couple days, it's been amazing.

1:16:08 We'll have to come back here. Sometime, bring the kids. Oh, that's so good. Oh, that's okay. I never thought about the fact that you've had. Oh, Jesus and that has been the dance in the blood. Thanks for listening, boils Ghouls and N booze. I'm sticking with it. I hope you liked our first Arc. It was a blast to play. Did you like it?

We struggle with works and to tell a friend about the show our cast this week included again, Nathan who is part of the excellent podcast Kingdom Hearts. A forgotten era which you could find on Twitter at KH underscore a Fe and wherever podcasts are found. Russell wanted me to recommend the punk / metal band kill Matilda from Vancouver instead of talking about them. So I just did that and Dominic said he doesn't really want to be on a lot of games in the future and just wants to edit the show.

1:17:52 So I hope you enjoy them as Jonesy and I hope you're also enjoying him putting the show together. Hi Dominick. And you could find me on Twitter at lotr.
