warnings.
Last time on Eternal lies.

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,840
With a curious character in
their custody, the gang set to

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,480
work extracting information from
him to mixed results.

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,800
While Reginald's enhanced
interrogation tactics proved

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,160
fruitless, Cullen's basic human
decency in Flask Full of Nectar

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,800
resulted in new information not
just from their captive, but

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,080
from JB as well, who revealed
his time in the cult's clutches

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,360
had given him an enduring
craving for the stuff.

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,360
Once Sir Rome started talking,
they parted ways with a letter

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,920
of introduction to some local
allies in Kaluli and the

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,400
investigators ready to hop
aboard a company train.

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,200
Sand and mouths weren't the only
thing waiting in the desert

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,200
however, as our noble crew soon
came under attack from camel

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,840
mounted marauders escaping by
the skin of their teeth.

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,680
Thanks to Kearns mastery of
vehicles, the investigators made

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,760
their way onward to Iron Point.
The dye is cast, the pact is

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,040
sealed.
May God have mercy on our souls.

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,680
It's Daniel's shred tales.
Make sure this dye is all.

22
00:01:15,130 --> 00:01:19,410
Stuffed up you are next episode.
Yes.

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,160
Well, I was saying that you guys
got shot up.

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,520
Yes, speeding into the sunset or
whatever time it is.

25
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,800
Yes, as the train continues to
go forward and the you see these

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,840
marauders, bandits, whatever
they were, disappear over the

27
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,000
horizon, let's check in on each
of us, shall we?

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,400
Named pronoun and how much blood
you lost.

29
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,440
JB Fox He him fair amount.
It's not fatal, but J BS

30
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,320
definitely taken a bullet and is
looking worse for wear.

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,600
Frank Kearns he him extremely
sweaty, extremely sooty looking

32
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,200
fine.
Sticks the shovel into the pile

33
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,160
of coal.
Starts performing first aid on

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,560
JB.
Reginald Killworth, he, him and

35
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,759
I probably lost the most amount
of blood out of everybody from 2

36
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:12,640
bullet holes.
That's fucked up.

37
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,360
Yeah.
Colin Kane.

38
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,720
He, him.
I have lost most of my blood.

39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,360
I am not graceful at all about
it.

40
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,640
It's like, oh, oh, God, there's
blood everywhere.

41
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,360
Slap my chest.
Oh, no.

42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,080
Hauling myself through the train
cart Reg.

43
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,160
It is first aid.
Yeah, both of you are on like

44
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,520
death's fucking door, aren't
you?

45
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,960
Still in the positives by 1, you
think?

46
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,400
Yeah.
I mean, you're still, you're

47
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,400
fine.
I mean, you're not fine, you're

48
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,760
clearly not fine, but you're
mechanically you're not

49
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,120
suffering anything yet.
OK question here, how long can I

50
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,720
leave the train on the tent?
That basically how long can it

51
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,640
keep running itself before it
starts needing?

52
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:09,960
I don't.
Make your drive.

53
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Machinist Difficulty. 3.
I don't have anything to spend.

54
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,160
Yeah, I was going to say, I feel
like you spent all of it trying

55
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,800
to help us escape from bandits,
which was pretty bad ass.

56
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,120
Fuck our older one.
You're not sure?

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,400
OK, you know what?
I'm still, I'm still OK.

58
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:38,040
We can save the first aid for us
to until we get to like not in a

59
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,560
moving train.
Mr. Kane and Mr. Kilsworth over

60
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,560
there don't look too good.
I suggest you head over to that

61
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,800
car and check on them.
Yeah, I'm going to do that.

62
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,240
Come into the car, I'm doing
first aid on Reds.

63
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,240
I alright, hopefully we got the
same kind of blood.

64
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,920
What were we saying about
hepatitis?

65
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,160
Alright, take one of these and
come in the morning light the

66
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,160
fused.
Well, that's not a cigarette.

67
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,880
Oh.
My God no.

68
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,360
Holy shit I can't leave you
alone for 5 minutes.

69
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,840
So OK, I got it.
I'll spend 4 points on that.

70
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,520
Four points to give him eight
points.

71
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,520
OK, this is not a truly like
situation.

72
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:34,160
You can just spend the points.
OK, eight points for Reg.

73
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,520
OK, I'm going to take a long nap
now.

74
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,560
My blood is so sticky.
Keeps me cool though.

75
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,040
It is very hot.
Russell is currently miming

76
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,120
smearing blood all over his
face.

77
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:55,000
Oh no, I'm I've got first aid
points.

78
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,600
I feel like at the very least he
shouldn't be at 1, so I'm going

79
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,920
to spend 2 first aid points to
bring him up to A5.

80
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,240
Well, I feel much better.
Why am I covered in blood?

81
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,560
Oh right, the bullet wounds.
Yes, the bullet wounds.

82
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,920
How's Kearns?
Did he make it?

83
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,440
Yeah, Kearns is all right.
He managed to get us out of

84
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,680
there and both me and him took
minimal bullet wounds.

85
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,400
How minimal?
I mean, you know, if I had to

86
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,840
write it on a scale, I'd say I'm
like 4 out of eight.

87
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,640
I'll spend another point on you.
You got to get these patched up

88
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,600
or they'll get.
Do you have another point to

89
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,440
spend?
I got two more well.

90
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,480
One more going to double back
and check up on Kerns and just

91
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,200
see how you're doing in general.
Someone needs to check on Kay.

92
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,160
How's she doing dead?
Still dead?

93
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,040
Yep, still looks.
Still dead again.

94
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,800
At least I think so.
Holy shit, why would you say

95
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,720
like?
Smash cut 2.

96
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,040
Meanwhile, this is another
stability.

97
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,720
Done, done, done.
Fuck hand rises up out of a pile

98
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,040
of quartz.
Yeah, no, it's.

99
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,320
A hand detached from a body, A
hand and not much else.

100
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,080
Oh my God, am I saying?
It rises up from the nectar in

101
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,120
the like underground sewer area.
Sorry, what the fuck were we

102
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,640
talking about?
I believe you were going back to

103
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,360
the car.
Yeah, while Kearns is minding

104
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,800
the train, I'm just going to
spend a point of first aid, you

105
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,520
know, just to give you a little
back.

106
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,960
Oh, that's that's mighty kind of
you.

107
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,840
You don't look so good yourself.
Let me hear it.

108
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:42,040
Let me put a Band-Aid on you or
something on that.

109
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,600
If.
You spend one point on me, I'm

110
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,840
back to full.
Literally just put a Band-Aid on

111
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:47,720
you.
Whack.

112
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,240
Anyway, we're good.
For the moment, it seems the

113
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,480
team is largely OK.
Well, your driver is in ship

114
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,720
shape.
Yeah, so I'm going to make sure

115
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,560
that we get to where we want to
be, huh?

116
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,440
That sounds like a good plan to
me.

117
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,520
All right, the train journey
continues.

118
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,840
Chugga, chugga Choo, Choo.
It is ultimately an uneventful

119
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,120
journey.
After what happened, you arrive

120
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,720
at what is called Iron Point,
which is the end of the rail

121
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,080
line.
I keep wanting to say Iron Deep.

122
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,680
No, not the iron, Deep iron
point as your train was

123
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,920
approaching.
It was not doing this

124
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,080
stealthily.
Obviously it's a train, so

125
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:40,320
there's a collection of curious
villagers watching the train

126
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,200
arrive as you are coming in.
Understandable.

127
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,720
So how many points of stealth
would I have to spend in order

128
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,120
to make this a stealthy
approach?

129
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,480
We're in a train, dog, we're in
a train.

130
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,680
What are you talking about?
Trains are the stealthiest.

131
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,800
As the train is approaching the
stop, they're actually children

132
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,160
who are running alongside the
train tracks.

133
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,200
Now that's adorable.
Yeah.

134
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,400
And very dangerous.
Yeah, yes, yes.

135
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,840
I'm not denying that.
But yeah, but as to 30s, we're

136
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,920
OK with that.
You see that there is a small

137
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,520
village, looks like it's about
based on the map that you had

138
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,640
before and also just sort of
looking out.

139
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,920
About two miles South of here is
the village of Kaluli.

140
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,240
We just got into a train
gunfight.

141
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,320
I think we can walk 2 miles even
if it's in a.

142
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,640
Desert it is in the evening, but
not night yet.

143
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,080
Oh, so this is like the only
time it's safe to walk in the

144
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,480
desert?
Yes, actually.

145
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,840
It's also gonna be super cold.
It's gonna get cold soon, but

146
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,520
it's not cold yet, so we can
still work with this.

147
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,680
How long does it take for four
men to walk 2 miles?

148
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,920
I've heard this one before.
None.

149
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,840
They're in a boat.
Thank you, Russell, very

150
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,800
helpful.
If you're doing like a, you

151
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,240
know, like a brisk walk,
probably 40 minutes to an hour.

152
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,840
Turns give me a piggyback.
Yeah.

153
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,200
I could do that.
Don't do that.

154
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,040
You don't have to do that.
Pardon me saying so, Mr. Cain,

155
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,760
but you don't look too good.
I still got first aid to spare.

156
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,760
Would you?
Would you like me to heal you up

157
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,880
some more?
Nah, save it for later.

158
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,040
All right.
In the meantime, I could

159
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,560
probably give you a piggyback.
No, that's fine.

160
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,720
All right.
I'll walk.

161
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,000
I'm a big boy.
So you are, Mr. Cain.

162
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,200
So you are.
As you are approaching the

163
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:45,120
village proper, you are greeted
by a collection of adult men.

164
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,240
There's about seven of them who
approach you.

165
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:55,360
The vibe is not aggressive, but
it is curious and a little bit

166
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,200
cautious.
Understandable.

167
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,840
Probably they don't get tourists
often.

168
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,400
No, no, considering that they
the train had not run for years.

169
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,120
Yeah, not often at all.
Do you say anything first or do

170
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,320
they get the first word?
I Hello, We are the Americans.

171
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,960
Oh, no, don't do this.
Let's let's try shuffling

172
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,840
through a through a few
languages.

173
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,400
I try like, you know, Italian.
Not really working.

174
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,120
You know what one of them speaks
a little bit of Italian.

175
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,000
Not a great amount of Italian.
It'll have to do.

176
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,240
One of them said something to
you in French.

177
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,200
Do any of you speak French?
Little dog.

178
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,480
They don't have German.
Mr. Game Master, Yeah.

179
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,160
Could I roll some preparedness
to have like a dictionary on me

180
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,920
or like a conversation book?
Okay, for what language?

181
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,440
Let's say French.
Why not?

182
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,000
You know what, sure, do you have
any unspent language skills?

183
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,320
Cuz you can also just like give
a point of language to yourself.

184
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,720
But yes, you can make a
preparedness role if you would

185
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,080
like.
But looking at your sheet here,

186
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,560
you have two language points
that you have not used to

187
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:14,360
establish a language yet.
Now you don't have to.

188
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,120
You can keep that floating
around, but it seems like it

189
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,080
might be the time to use that.
Fine, I speak French.

190
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,000
I happen to speak French.
OK.

191
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,400
Oh yeah, make sure you write
that down on your character

192
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,840
sheet.
Yeah, what's he saying in

193
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,000
French?
He says hello.

194
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,120
It's been a long time since
anyone is use that train line.

195
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,800
We weren't expecting visitors.
Yeah, I I can see how that would

196
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,640
be surprising, Sir.
Yes, yes.

197
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:49,120
What brings you to our home?
I translate basically to yeah,

198
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,880
the smarter people.
Oh well, you gotta leave me out

199
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,040
like that.
You were not mentioned by name.

200
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,360
This is a self report.
Do I still have that NPC energy?

201
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:11,440
What brings you to our village?
Well, how do I put this without

202
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:17,960
sounding like a crazy person?
We have business near Dalo.

203
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,680
Yeah, we've got business near
Dalo.

204
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,800
And I feel like that was the
wrong thing.

205
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,280
To say like when that is said,
one of the men who just hears

206
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,360
the word dowel, not the one that
you were talking to like shakes

207
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:36,160
his head and says something in
afer saying that like you know

208
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,560
you do not, you do not want to
go to dowel.

209
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,640
When he says that, does it feel
like is they're going to try to

210
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,640
prevent us from going to Dalal
or is it like they're going to

211
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,160
strongly suggest that we don't
go?

212
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,880
They're worried for you.
They're not going to keep you

213
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,000
from going.
They're just like, you don't

214
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
want to go there.
We're also looking for two

215
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,320
women, one's named Moho and I
forget what the other one's name

216
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,080
was.
Mathai Mathai.

217
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,080
Yeah.
Do you mention those two people?

218
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,560
Yeah, sure.
The bad target, he says.

219
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:14,960
How do you know those two women?
We meant an acquaintance of

220
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,440
theirs.
This all sucks.

221
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,680
I feel like we're going to get
our throats slit tonight.

222
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,200
I feel like that every time we
go anywhere in any of these

223
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,920
games, so I guess I shouldn't be
too worried.

224
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,480
I do want to make it clear,
these guys seem there's nothing

225
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,080
violent about these guys.
These guys do not look like the

226
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,680
throat cutting type.
That is reassuring.

227
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,880
They're not hostile, they're
just confused because we've

228
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,720
blundered in as we do.
That's kind of why I asked in

229
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,600
the beginning, like whether they
were gonna stop us or.

230
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,240
Yeah.
Were they just, you know.

231
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,120
Yeah, They're just like, don't,
don't go there.

232
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,120
It's bad.
Yeah.

233
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,040
Mm hmm.
I should note the village itself

234
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,040
is an Ethiopian village in the
the dunes.

235
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,440
It's relatively close to an
Oasis, hence why it's, you know,

236
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,240
here.
Yeah.

237
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,600
Extent.
Yeah, the people here are like,

238
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,120
you guys haven't had a ton of
experience in Africa before.

239
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:18,320
From my understanding, you would
be more familiar with this, like

240
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,840
if you were looking at a
National Geographic or

241
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,920
something.
This seems like, oh, these look

242
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,480
like those sort of people.
Many of the women are walking

243
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,040
around bare breasted, which is,
you know, it's fine.

244
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,040
Let's not be weird about it.
But that's just sort of to give

245
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,520
you the idea of how different of
a culture this is.

246
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,320
There is some brick around, but
it not all of the buildings are.

247
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,760
But with that, some are built
with more natural materials.

248
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,480
There's about like 300 people
living in the village for much

249
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,360
you can see here.
Everything seems to be like a

250
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,480
chill, well functioning village.
Yeah, so.

251
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,520
They're wearing native garb,
traditional Ethiopian garb,

252
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,200
which is not much to be perfect
because it's so goddamn hot.

253
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,280
Understandable.
Yeah, yeah.

254
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,360
So we met a friend of Mahoho and
Matai.

255
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,520
He directed us towards those
ladies.

256
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,600
Yeah, we met him over in Oh
right.

257
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,400
We didn't put down its name.
It's just labeled Motherfucker

258
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,160
on the map.
Marissa Fatma.

259
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,560
Yeah, that place.
Yeah.

260
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,760
Oh well, I suppose we could try
to find them.

261
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,960
You have a message from him.
We do.

262
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,240
I produced this message from
JB's pocket.

263
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,720
That's right, I'm a magician.
It's.

264
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,920
Like, how the fuck did you do
that?

265
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,560
That was really impressive.
Well, you look like you've seen

266
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,280
better days.
The desert doesn't look like

267
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,400
it's treated you well.
Correct.

268
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,760
We were shot at.
These are dangerous times.

269
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,440
They most definitely are.
I don't want to impose on

270
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,640
anyone, but I don't suppose you
have a place?

271
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,200
We could also rest for the
night.

272
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,360
Yes, of course we could give you
some hospitality.

273
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:06,560
Anything outside of that we
cannot give away for free.

274
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,560
I'm sure you understand.
Oh, of course, of course we will

275
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,440
not impose as as much as
possible, you know what I mean?

276
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Edge you wish to go to dowel.
We do.

277
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,520
It's probably best if we don't
say anymore, except to Mathiah.

278
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,400
Yeah, the rest.
Has private business.

279
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,880
One of them just sort of gives
the sciences.

280
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,520
It seems to be muttering
something under his breath which

281
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,560
you're pretty sure needs fucking
white people.

282
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,320
I figured it was I I figured,
yeah, we probably have been

283
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:48,160
getting that a lot this arc.
And you are led to a area where

284
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,040
a family welcomes you in to one
of the dwellings here and you

285
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,520
are given some space to stay for
the evening.

286
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,360
Awesome slumber body.
You are once again in a safe

287
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,280
location.
Nice.

288
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,000
Which means you can recover
because you've already had one

289
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,319
of those.
In this sort of Arc, you're

290
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,480
going to get one skill you can
fully recover.

291
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,359
OK, I'm getting my first aid
back.

292
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,680
Maybe you pick something
different because I probably

293
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,240
have more first aid than anybody
else.

294
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,400
OK.
I should probably get my driving

295
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,079
back, huh?
Probably, yeah.

296
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:27,560
I'm gonna then get all my
psychoanalysis back.

297
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,920
Oh, there you go.
Which?

298
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,880
Definitely a good idea.
Boy, I wish somebody else had

299
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,480
that so I wasn't stuck at 1
stability.

300
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,880
Stability Status No.
Just like real life, huh?

301
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:49,440
Just like real life.
And I will allow you to say that

302
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,600
you are all not suffering heat
because you are near an Oasis

303
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,880
and you're able to rest a little
bit here.

304
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,000
Yay.
And once we go back out, it's

305
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,480
going to be a problem.
But.

306
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,160
Yeah, you're good for now.
That makes sense.

307
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,880
Do you guys mostly just collapse
and then wake up the next day or

308
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,760
are you going to try to go out
and talk to people?

309
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,240
Now that sounds like a great
plan to JB.

310
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,840
Everybody else is free to do as
they like, like the JP is

311
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,200
clocking out.
Thank you and good night.

312
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:23,320
Collin's big on collapsing.
Yeah, I think Reg is taking a

313
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,840
nap too.
He got a little bit more lead in

314
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,400
his diet than he wanted.
Yeah, yeah, now that we're all

315
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,320
.05% more bullet than we were
before.

316
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,320
Collin's going to collapse as
well unless Kearns wants to do

317
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,760
something.
I don't know buddy system.

318
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,680
Boy, no, I'm just going to try
to stay up as long as I can

319
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,240
because my arms are still itchy
from last night.

320
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,400
Yep.
Yep, Yep.

321
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,240
Yep Yep, but I probably end up
falling asleep too.

322
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,760
It was a taxing day.
God, was it ever.

323
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,640
You have the same dream.
How lucid am I?

324
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,120
Like can I interact with it at
all?

325
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,680
Here's what you could do.
You could try to make a

326
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,960
stability role to interact with
your dream.

327
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,920
Wow.
Difficulty. 5.

328
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,920
Do I lose anything?
If you spend points, you will

329
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,840
lose those points.
Yeah, but unless I spend

330
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,720
something, I don't lose anything
if I fail.

331
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,360
Probably not.
No, you won't.

332
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:22,600
You won't.
I'm just going to say, please

333
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,560
don't be wishy washy when it
comes to a precious resource.

334
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,360
Yeah.
Precious Yeah, I only have 4

335
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:31,080
stability so I'm just going to
chance it.

336
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,360
OK.
All right.

337
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,240
No, no.
A natural one for both of the

338
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,720
roles you've rolled so far for
this session is.

339
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,800
Hopefully that just means you're
burning all your bad luck now

340
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,320
and everything's going to go
great from this point forward.

341
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,440
Yeah, let's choose to look at it
that way.

342
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,920
Yeah, I wake up in cold sweat
again, screaming.

343
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,920
Awesome.
The team chooses to ask no

344
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,040
follow up questions because we
get it.

345
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,960
Yeah, sure.
Oh, it's really charring waking

346
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:09,920
up to screaming every morning.
JB just sleeps through it now.

347
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,200
Yeah, no, JB absolutely sleeps
through it.

348
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,120
It just blends in with the rest
of his dreams.

349
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,040
What would you like to do on
this lovely day in the village

350
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,960
of Kaluli?
Well, I think we should

351
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,640
definitely track down our
contacts.

352
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,760
Maybe they've got breakfast we
can have.

353
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,480
I did specifically say we would
try not to impose, but I guess

354
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,280
food is a little important.
We have money to buy food,

355
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:42,800
right?
Yeah, what?

356
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,560
What use are they going to have
for American dollars though?

357
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,840
We probably, like, brought
rations, right?

358
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,440
I mean, there's no way our guide
wouldn't have.

359
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,440
Can I roll preparedness to say
we brought rations?

360
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,960
You have food, Yeah.
You brought food with you.

361
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:01,840
You brought food with you.
OK, thank God.

362
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:07,920
In fact, your guide, who again
left you before you got on a

363
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,000
train, seemed like a crazy
thing.

364
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,240
He was just like you guys, have
fun.

365
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,560
Turns out he was smart for that
one.

366
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,920
He had you bring, as you were
going to the stuff, some gold to

367
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,680
trade.
Perfect.

368
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,440
Yes, like a small amount, but
just to you know.

369
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,120
Enough for room and board, shall
we say?

370
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,080
Yes, so to speak.
Well, this is nice and cozy,

371
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,360
yeah.
I say as I itch my arms until

372
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:38,440
they bleed.
Oh.

373
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,240
OK, you are offered food by the
people there.

374
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,200
You don't need to pay for it.
They're gonna offer you some

375
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,640
food.
Yay, hospitality.

376
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,880
You're getting some ingera,
which is sourdough fermented

377
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,600
flatbread, which is like one of
the big parts of the Ethiopian

378
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,280
cuisine.
I'll admit that sounds pretty

379
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,400
good.
Yes, and some vegetables as well

380
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,000
to go along with it and I think
probably some goat meat.

381
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,880
Yeah, here, let me show you one
of the meals of my people.

382
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,720
We call it a Taco.
No, no, maybe don't.

383
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:12,560
Maybe don't.
Do.

384
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:17,840
Not just.
Wait, are you Mexican?

385
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,560
No, I'm American, OK?
Oh, that.

386
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,280
Are tacos a thing in the 30s
Like you know, I have?

387
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,720
To assume.
Quote UN Quote tacos.

388
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:37,320
I It looks like Sooty created a
Mexican restaurants of New York

389
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,960
City projects here.
My Google says that tacos were

390
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,520
first introduced to the United
States in 1905.

391
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,360
So it's yes, but not necessarily
New York.

392
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,160
Colin has encountered tacos.
He does not realize that they're

393
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,440
from Mexico.
Okay.

394
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,280
Gotcha.
My goodness.

395
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,080
All right, anyway, I feel like
there was something else we had

396
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,000
to do in Kaluli beyond meet with
our guides, but not our guides.

397
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,840
They're not going to, he said.
They'd approach us.

398
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,280
You are going to need some
guides, not necessarily these

399
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,800
people, but if you intend to go
across the desert once again,

400
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,960
you're going to need like guides
and camels and stuff.

401
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,680
OK, Yeah.
Like you're not going to just,

402
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,840
yeah, you're going to need to
hire somebody.

403
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,880
Well, we'll, we'll get to that
when we get to that.

404
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,640
You are approached though, by
one of the women that you were

405
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,200
told to keep an eye out for.
I because of the like the

406
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,680
tattoo, yeah.
Right.

407
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:44,160
One of the women who introduces
herself as which one should it

408
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,240
be?
Doesn't really matter.

409
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,120
Just confirmed Dan thinks women
are interchangeable anyway.

410
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,520
Yeah, that's me.
That's it.

411
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,240
Daniel hates women.
Mathai approaches you and says

412
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,000
in English.
I really wish you wouldn't be

413
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,880
bringing up our names to the
population of the village.

414
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,120
Yeah, it felt like a mistake as
soon as we did it.

415
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,560
I apologize for my friends.
Well, I used to have a teacher

416
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,320
of sorts who told me to take
chances, make mistakes and get

417
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,240
messy.
It's a fair idea.

418
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,760
You are outsiders.
Why do you know of us?

419
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,400
I pass along the message.
She reads it.

420
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:33,240
Oh, if you're good enough for
Jerome, I suppose you are to be

421
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,880
trusted.
No wonder he didn't want to tell

422
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,320
us his name.
Didn't he say what to call him

423
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,360
Jerome though?
He.

424
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Did say to call him Jerome,
Yeah.

425
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,800
OK, yeah, yeah, maybe you
forgot, but I remembered that

426
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:58,520
man's name anyway.
Well, you seek to go to the site

427
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,960
of the eating pit.
It's long destroyed, but if

428
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,960
you'd like to see it, feel free.
We would, and we'd also like to

429
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:13,760
meet with the man Airs, who
lives, from what I understand,

430
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:20,120
not far from the site.
That may be a little more

431
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:25,160
difficult.
He does not speak to us anymore,

432
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:31,400
or anyone for that matter.
I know he's in the desert

433
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,600
somewhere.
I mean, he must go from Oasis to

434
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,560
Oasis if he tries to survives.
Lives in caves, perhaps to the

435
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:45,000
north of the old dig site.
That's a wrinkle, but.

436
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,560
There's a series of caverns, the
halls of Olaf Wok.

437
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,960
Perhaps he could be there.
We don't go there anymore.

438
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:59,440
The winds are too harsh and
really it's just too hot.

439
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,560
There's nothing out there.
Yeah, it makes sense.

440
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,840
I mean, it's named after an old
God that was once worshipped, I

441
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,720
believe, but that's nothing that
we're really concerned about.

442
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,240
There's no evidence of that God
being real, unlike the horrible

443
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,200
things that we saw and.
What do you call those gods?

444
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,760
Well, they're not gods, they're
the eating pits.

445
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,440
Fair enough.
But we've been able to keep them

446
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,600
at Bay for now.
How?

447
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,640
You know of more than this one
at De Lal?

448
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,280
Well, no.
The one at De Lal was destroyed

449
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,520
centuries ago, but we were
worried that the expedition

450
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,360
would dig it up, so we destroyed
the entire expedition by

451
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,800
unleashing the seals.
So you're probably not going to

452
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,960
want to hear this.
Jerome was skeptical.

453
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,200
But.
No, I read it in the note.

454
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,480
You're saying that there's more?
Yes.

455
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,360
Yeah, yeah, there.
There's definitely more.

456
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:03,080
Well, this one should be dead,
though perhaps it bears another

457
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,360
look.
The bigger concern is that the

458
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,280
people of Dalal, we have not
been able to get there.

459
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,880
But I've heard some strange
rumors of what's happening in

460
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:18,240
that town, and I fear they may
have come under the influence of

461
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,680
one of them.
They may be trying to create a

462
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,480
new one.
Oh no.

463
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,120
These cultists are so fanatical.
I don't know much about the

464
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:31,080
village myself.
Our numbers have dwindled.

465
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,800
I fear that we are not as
powerful as we once were.

466
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,600
But perhaps you could talk to
some of the other men who have

467
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,760
travelled near that village.
They might be able to tell you

468
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,200
more.
All I could say is this.

469
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,360
Be careful.
Of course.

470
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,640
That's decisively the plan.
We also have something we might

471
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,560
be better off leaving in your
possession.

472
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,720
It's a flask of nectar.
What flask of nectar?

473
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,720
I forgot that I don't know what
nectar is.

474
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,880
No, it is the substance that the
mouths create.

475
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,680
We don't know how to safely get
rid of this or.

476
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,000
If it even can be safely
disposed of.

477
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:15,080
We'll keep it secret and safe.
Yes, this bears investigation.

478
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,040
Oh, I feel so relieved that it's
no longer in our possession.

479
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,120
Tell me about it.
Yeah.

480
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,040
Now this Ayers person, when was
the last time he was seen again?

481
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,840
I've lost track at least three
years ago.

482
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:32,240
Oh my.
North of the old dig site, you

483
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,520
say?
Yes.

484
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:39,760
Now your friend Jerome LED us to
believe that this Ayers person

485
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,400
might have a mouth on him.
Oh, he has a mouth on him.

486
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,200
Yes, absolutely.
More than one or just the normal

487
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,440
amount?
No, a secondary one on his

488
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,000
belly.
What, That's not supposed to be

489
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,800
there?
But it is inactive.

490
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,680
This is why I maybe caution you
to speak with airs.

491
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:05,600
He has purposely cut himself off
from most other humans to allow

492
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,920
the mouth to weaken.
I look over to Reg and Colin and

493
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,920
JB and I go it's just a
Catherine mentioned an Airs.

494
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,760
I believe he might be important.
He's definitely important.

495
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,680
Unfortunately, we have a lot of
questions for him.

496
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,120
Yes.
Well, if he's willing to speak

497
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,600
with you, he will find you.
Wait, he will find us.

498
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,640
Isn't.
That going around.

499
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,160
Well, if you go to look for him
and you find him, which you may

500
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,360
if he's doesn't try to hide from
you, he can answer whatever

501
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,520
questions he wishes to answer.
I would ask that you don't treat

502
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,120
him like you treated Jerome.
He mentioned that in the note,

503
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,080
didn't he?
Oh yeah, he did.

504
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,080
I'm still so sorry about that.
I sort of go stone faced and I

505
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,720
say as long as he doesn't go
stalking us.

506
00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,800
I have nothing to feel bad
about.

507
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,160
That was a huge
misunderstanding.

508
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,640
Everything's fine.
Oh, would you look at the time?

509
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,440
I have to be somewhere else
anyway.

510
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,760
I've got all my sense trouble
back.

511
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:17,800
Bring it on, motherfucker.
I wish you luck, and if you have

512
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:23,600
experience in more directly
confronting these things,

513
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,400
perhaps you can go to dowel and
see what you can see there.

514
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,960
Well, but before we do, I think
I'm going to go around town and

515
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,480
talk to people like she
suggested, use some oral history

516
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,880
and hope that there's somebody
who at least passingly knows a

517
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,160
language.
I do.

518
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,640
OK, oral history is one of them.
I need another skill to go along

519
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,520
with that.
So you're able to collect

520
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,680
stories, but to make the people
talk to you, you're going to

521
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,600
need to use.
Explosives.

522
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,440
Another conversational skill.
Streetwise a bargain?

523
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,040
I do have Bargain.
Intimidation.

524
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,040
Bargain could bargain would be
more if you're trying to hire

525
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,760
guides, which you are going to
need to do.

526
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,920
You are going to need to hire
guides to take you to where at

527
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,840
least the dig site.
Maybe dowel all?

528
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,000
Right.
Do you have reassurance?

529
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,640
I would say oral history could
work.

530
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,440
They're a little hesitant, but
with some reinsurance you'll be

531
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,360
able to get it.
I I don't have reassurance, but

532
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,040
I do have streetwise and
flattery.

533
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,480
Somebody else could come with
you, though.

534
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Yeah, somebody else could come
with you.

535
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,560
That's true.
We could teamwork this shit.

536
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,520
Take Colin.
OK, me and Colin will go around

537
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,480
checking for stuff like that and
Kearns and Reg, you guys do

538
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,120
whatever you'd like.
I'm not your mom though.

539
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,600
We should find a guide at some
point.

540
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,440
Maybe that put that on the
docket for somebody.

541
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,320
Oh, I thought that's yeah, we
were doing.

542
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,360
Oh yeah, that's a part of it.
Yeah, 'cause you have bargain.

543
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,280
I do a bargain, so I'm going to
do that and try and find out

544
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,760
more about Dalo.
OK, so the bargain is going to

545
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,080
be reasonable enough that you're
trying to put together the

546
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,400
services of a guide with camels
for everybody and food and water

547
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,320
and the other sort of sundries.
Yeah, that would be needed for

548
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,960
this.
When they ask you where you're

549
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,760
going though, and you mentioned
that you're going to the dig

550
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,200
site near Dalo, people are.
Reassurance, yeah.

551
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:23,680
The reassurances needed to make
them be like the tribe that now

552
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:29,400
lives in Dalol was once nomadic,
like most the Afar tribes are.

553
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,000
In fact, this village is made-up
of several different tribes.

554
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,320
It's sort of a stopping point
because it's near an Oasis, but

555
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,400
many tribes come in and out of
this city that you're in right

556
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:43,520
now.
Dalol is have stopped moving.

557
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,800
The people, the Dalites,
Dalilites and the whole extended

558
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,320
tribe now lives in Dalol and no
longer travels along with the

559
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,760
sea isms.
This is seen as entirely

560
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,480
deviant, both morally and
logistically.

561
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,080
Deviants, you say?
What an odd idea.

562
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,080
Yeah, nuts.
Do you have any other questions

563
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,720
about the Dalolites?
Any tips for staying cool in

564
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,880
this desert heat?
Try not to overwork yourself.

565
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,560
If that's a good one, that makes
sense.

566
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,040
Drink electrolytes.
Bring some Kool-aid along.

567
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,280
Yeah.
The only other thing you hear

568
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,200
about the dollar lights is that
they worked for the mining

569
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,640
company.
Many of them worked for the

570
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,800
mining company and in fact were
then assigned to the dig site

571
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:37,360
later on in the 1924 dig,
though, yeah, now they don't

572
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,160
work there anymore because
obviously that isn't there.

573
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:44,840
And again, this isn't a place
where they do much of anything

574
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,680
it seems anymore.
For time, the people at Dollo

575
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,600
would trade here at Kaluli
because it is sort of a minor

576
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,560
trade hub, but now none of the
dowel tribes been engaged in 80

577
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,440
of the trade.
That place has taken over by the

578
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,000
cult big time.
And then also the person saying

579
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,400
is not that we'd let them in,
you know, after what they're up

580
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,240
to.
Explain further please.

581
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,080
What sort of things are they up
to?

582
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,880
Look, I told you, you don't want
to go there.

583
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,880
Leave well enough alone.
I don't know why I need to

584
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:19,040
explain things more than the
fact that it is a bad place like

585
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,760
this guy seems confused about.
Why do you want to burden

586
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,080
yourself with this knowledge?
This is a bad place that should

587
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,480
be avoided.
Therefore, why do you want to

588
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,040
learn about it?
Well, it's in the job

589
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,159
description to take care of bad
places.

590
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:36,239
Yeah.
You might need to make an

591
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,280
investigative spend to get this.
Would spending a point of

592
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,199
reassurance count?
Yes, it would.

593
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,320
Who's spending the point?
I don't have reassurance so.

594
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,840
Oh, I thought you were asking
because you were spending.

595
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,360
No, I thought the whole reason
you came alongside me was

596
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,560
because you have it.
I do have it.

597
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,960
It's flattery I don't have.
I have flattery.

598
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:06,840
We complement each other.
Hello there, Boils and ghouls

599
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,960
and non booed Aries.
Daniel Strad Tales is a free

600
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,680
podcast and it will continue to
be a free podcast.

601
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:21,520
We can and have been doing this
without any payment because

602
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:23,080
we're in it for the love of the
game.

603
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,400
But would the show sound better
with a real editor?

604
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:33,360
Yeah, Could some of us use some
sound treatment or better audio

605
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,840
recording equipment in our
recording spaces?

606
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,000
Sure.
Would it be neat to have like

607
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,480
basic merch, like, I don't know,
like stickers or something?

608
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:44,840
Maybe.
I don't know.

609
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,200
If that's really a question for
you, let us know on the Discord.

610
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:53,320
Anyway, we're opening up a
Patreon to help us get money for

611
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,520
those things I just said.
And on this Patreon, you're

612
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,960
going to be able to find
everything we've ever remembered

613
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:03,040
to record in a handy audio
format.

614
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,920
This includes our monthly Twitch
streams.

615
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,880
Would you like that?
Just as a podcast?

616
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,080
Bam, you're going to get it.
We even got a couple of games

617
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,200
that never quite made it to air.
You're going to be able to

618
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,320
listen to those secret episodes,
Lost episodes.

619
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,880
That's like, cool, right?
And you're going to get a bunch

620
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,600
of fun little bonuses that
Russell might be working on

621
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,040
putting together bloopers and
stuff like that from previous

622
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,960
episodes.
And if you really want to hear

623
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:39,440
the bloopers, I guess you could
get raw mixes shortly after we

624
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:40,760
record.
That's right.

625
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,920
If you want to hear us, just do
the raw Daniels Dread Tales.

626
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,840
You can listen to it and you
could hear our awful unfiltered

627
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,640
sounds as soon as possible.
The next episode, if you want to

628
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,720
hear it, it is already up there
in the Patreon.

629
00:36:55,720 --> 00:37:00,800
It's got all the UMS the US, the
tangential banter, the breaks

630
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,520
where somebody has to take a
smoke break or go to the

631
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,280
bathroom.
It's all in there, baby.

632
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,480
So if you want to help us out
with our hosting cost, listen to

633
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,840
episodes a little bit in
advance, even if they're going

634
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,040
to be kind of messy.
Please check out our Patreon at

635
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,200
patreon.com/dreadtails.
We'll give you a shout out.

636
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,600
You could name some of our
characters.

637
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,640
It'll be a good time.
We hope to check it out.

638
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,200
Again, that's
patreon.com/dreadtails.

639
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,720
One of the men sort of pulls you
aside to talk to you later, and

640
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:41,400
honestly it feels more like he's
trying to get something off of

641
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,280
his chest.
Oh God, that's not good.

642
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,480
Is it a mouth?
You need to promise not to share

643
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,840
this with anyone else.
Go on.

644
00:37:52,480 --> 00:38:00,320
I travelled close to the village
in recent years and there's a

645
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,200
few things wrong with that
place.

646
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:10,120
I, I don't know, I just, I had
dreams after I went there, just

647
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:14,600
disturbing ones.
Dreams where I chew off my own

648
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,400
limbs.
I keep having them over and over

649
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,880
again.
One night I woke up and

650
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,760
discovered that I'd bitten my
own arm hard enough to make it

651
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,000
bleed.
He shows you a pinkish scar, his

652
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,280
teeth left in his deep brown
skin.

653
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,200
Yikes.
That is why you should not go to

654
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,120
that place.
Well, if it can be at all

655
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,560
avoided, I think probably we
will.

656
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,640
I have a feeling Kearns is going
to love that place.

657
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,400
Yeah.
All right, but also bargaining.

658
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:49,280
You are able to put together a
small team of guides.

659
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,800
Would you like to bring one
guide which you could just do or

660
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,960
you could bring 3 guides with
you, but you would need to spend

661
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,000
some of your money.
By that I mean literally your.

662
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,560
Credit rating, Yes, I've got
credit rating.

663
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,160
I can.
I can burn.

664
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,200
I'll get it back eventually.
Yeah, OK.

665
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,440
If you want the best prepped
expedition that you could get

666
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,160
for the people that are here,
especially if you're going

667
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,480
towards Dollo which people don't
really want to do, it is going

668
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,880
to be a 2 point credit spend.
Oh God.

669
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,200
All right.
Yep, I can do that.

670
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,840
I'm just going to need everybody
to spot me for meals for a

671
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,520
while.
I got you back, JP.

672
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:31,400
OK, Pat.
Pat.

673
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:32,600
All right.
Pat.

674
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,040
Pat, Pat, Pat.
Pat.

675
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,360
This is appreciated.
My goodness.

676
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,080
So how many guides are we
bringing again?

677
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:41,520
3/3.
Guides How many camels?

678
00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:45,160
Everybody gets one camel.
Yay. 7 camels, eh?

679
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:50,480
Yeah, that's a lot of camels.
No wonder I had to spend 2

680
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,120
credit rating on this.
Each of you is going to ride on

681
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,640
one and then also while you're
right, you don't want to share

682
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,280
them because some of the other
stuff the camels are carrying is

683
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,840
going to be like supplies and
stuff.

684
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:05,680
Yeah, that makes sense.
The three guides coming with you

685
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:09,920
are going to be Malaku, Sisse
and Tessima.

686
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,640
Sweet, I've got a great
icebreaker joke.

687
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,920
All right, so if worst comes to
worst, we're eating Tessima

688
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,280
first.
I suppose that stands to reason.

689
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,400
Why is that?
Yeah, I just, I just chose one

690
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,720
of them at random, OK?
It was a, it was a, it wasn't

691
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:29,480
very funny.
And presumably everybody is

692
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:34,440
staring hatefully at JB.
Yeah, no, whereas Colin takes

693
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,280
you seriously.
Oh no, I regret.

694
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,200
Oh my God, everything.
Nods dourly.

695
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,640
Each of these men are
experienced desert traders,

696
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,840
guides and whatnot.
They promise to get you to where

697
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,240
you're going safely.
They tell you it's going to be

698
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,240
very hot though and to prepare
accordingly.

699
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:53,680
Gotcha.
Not hot.

700
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,480
These guys all seem really
competent.

701
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,840
I take it back.
We're eating Colin first.

702
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,000
There you.
Go or made it go around.

703
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:07,320
Each one of them is a large,
muscular man in their late 30s,

704
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:13,160
and they appear to be triplets.
Well, these guys turn on us.

705
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,120
We don't stand a chance.
That is, if they guess, or even

706
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,920
if they were to just leave you
out in the desert, whatever, you

707
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,800
wouldn't be in trouble.
So assess honesty.

708
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,920
They mean it when they say
they'll help, right?

709
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:28,600
Yes.
Absolutely.

710
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,920
OK.
However, when you do mention

711
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,280
that you would be going to
dowel, they said they would set

712
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,920
up a camp outside of dowel.
They would not go into the.

713
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,720
Village proper.
This is probably smart.

714
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,840
Yeah, that makes sense.
Let's us make an approach more

715
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:47,680
stealthily, as we often do.
Or try.

716
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,720
Yeah.
Well, the approach is generally

717
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:53,600
stealthy, it's just not the
execution.

718
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,760
Yeah.
DSX style.

719
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,880
We plan to be stealthy, our
plans just very frequently go to

720
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,920
shit.
Yeah, I do find it quite

721
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,760
entertaining, the vast
difference in the carefulness of

722
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,360
our preparations and the
carelessness of our plans.

723
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,480
Yes.
And I should also note by the

724
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,400
way, we're sort of hand waving
over this.

725
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,880
We just had that very easy
conversation.

726
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,600
These have not been easy
conversations with the people

727
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,840
here, not because they're afraid
of you or whatever, but just

728
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,520
like culturally you are not in
Kansas anymore.

729
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,440
You know what I mean?
Like you're about as far from

730
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,360
Kansas as you could possibly be.
There's just been a lot of

731
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:38,040
miscommunication and whatnot,
but they are willing to work

732
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,880
with you so.
Hey JP, this guy's never heard

733
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:46,520
of Dick Tracy.
Probably for the best.

734
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,360
Maybe I should save that guy
before Colin starts info

735
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,600
dumping.
All right.

736
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,480
I think we can, unless there's
anything else.

737
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,600
I don't want to belabor this so
I want to maybe hand wave this

738
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,440
into you leaving, but is there
anything else we want to do in

739
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,040
the village?
I mean, if there's anything Mr.

740
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,320
Killworth wants to do.
You said that this was kind of

741
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,880
like a minor trade hub.
Yeah.

742
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,080
Reg.
Is going to be looking for

743
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:21,960
somebody who seems to be selling
cloth, yeah.

744
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,160
Do you have?
Bargain.

745
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,440
I don't have bargain.
OK, you can find somebody.

746
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,040
Yeah.
What kind of coffee are you

747
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,320
looking for?
Something semi cheap.

748
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:37,840
What Reg's plan is, is he's
going to start the process for

749
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:42,880
drawing out a hyperspace gate on
it, leaving off the stuff for

750
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,880
the origin.
Interesting.

751
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,680
That's not smart.
OK, OK, I see.

752
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:53,960
What that's that's the idea.
I think you could get a large

753
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,200
enough piece of cloth with a
little bit of trading.

754
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,400
I don't think you need bargain
for that.

755
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,520
And maybe you could just bring
somebody who has bargain with

756
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,000
you if you would like.
Hello.

757
00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:08,720
Yes, yeah, I think you could get
that and start trying to put

758
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:12,640
that together just like before,
you know, before you go to

759
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,880
sleep, I guess.
Yeah, pointing it at Iron Point

760
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,720
rather than right in Oh.
OK.

761
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,160
So the thing that you were
setting is you wanted to be able

762
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,960
to get back to the train.
Yeah, basically an escape route.

763
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,560
I I highly doubt that they would
appreciate us popping out in the

764
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,120
village.
That might cause some friction.

765
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,160
Yeah, Yeah, it might.
We're we're.

766
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,440
Weird enough as is.
So to start working on it is

767
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,680
going to take some work.
Yeah.

768
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,040
So firstly.
Yeah, OK.

769
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,960
If you're doing this before
sleep, I'm assuming we're all

770
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,840
like in one room, right?
Yeah.

771
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,280
Yeah, you find that Kearns is
staring at what you're doing

772
00:44:54,280 --> 00:45:01,640
very intently, and he sort of
nods at the bizarre symbols that

773
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:07,040
you're tracing and goes, that's
the teleport magics, right?

774
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:13,440
Yep.
Mr. Killworth, I for a second

775
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:18,400
you see on my face that I kind
of really want to apologize, but

776
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,960
instead I say I appreciate the
work that you put in, Mr.

777
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,520
Kilworth.
And for my part, I'm I'm going

778
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,840
to try to do anything to make
sure that she didn't die in

779
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,000
vain.
That is the plan.

780
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,600
I turned to the wall.
It's like in.

781
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:37,840
My bed all.
Right.

782
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,920
All right, I'm going to need you
to cast the spell then, because

783
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,640
you need to prepare it
beforehand.

784
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,480
It's a difficulty 5 stability
test, so it can be reduced if

785
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,520
you know about physics.
I don't.

786
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,200
OK.
And in addition to the test,

787
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,760
it's going to cost to stability
or for health.

788
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,000
If you were to do for health,
you would lose one point of

789
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,760
health rating permanently.
Yeah.

790
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:06,080
Reach for points you spend.
I I'm gonna spend 2 on the roll.

791
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,360
I didn't need to spend 2 on the
roll and then spend the other

792
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,840
two in order to basically start
the casting of the spell.

793
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:20,560
You now have a gate ready to go.
Using an already created gate

794
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:25,440
cost 1 stability in addition to
any costs or sites or threats at

795
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,160
the destination.
Fair enough.

796
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,800
Well, I mean, there shouldn't be
any threats at the destination.

797
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,880
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
You're right.

798
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,160
I bet it's fine.
Colin would like to pick up a

799
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,880
weapon.
Ah at the training post here.

800
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,960
If at all possible.
Like what kind of weapon?

801
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:48,160
Well, I've got scaffolding and
explosives, so the only real

802
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:52,480
weapon I can think of is some
sort of power fist that explodes

803
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,720
on the punch.
Oh yes, power fest, right?

804
00:46:55,720 --> 00:46:57,560
Of course.
Well, let's see.

805
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:02,160
Nope, nobody has power fists.
Dang, should have got one back

806
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:03,880
in New York.
Yeah.

807
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,240
I feel like you still would have
run into some troubles with

808
00:47:07,240 --> 00:47:11,840
that, even in New York.
I also think you're about 40,000

809
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,440
years too early.
Shit.

810
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,400
I know they got those that fall
out.

811
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,360
That's not 40,000 years from
now.

812
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,520
Yeah, start to say it depends on
what what power fist you're

813
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,120
talking.
I think the ones that explode or

814
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,720
specifically fall out.
Yeah, yeah, It's just, I believe

815
00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:29,360
it's just a shotgun on a fist.
Man, which in theory you could

816
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,680
make today you.
Shouldn't well, if you wanted to

817
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,280
keep all your limbs.
You have the craft skill.

818
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,880
There you go, you're about
40,000 years too early.

819
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,600
Fair enough.
But like, even just like a basic

820
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,840
handgun.
So I've got something even

821
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,440
though I absolutely don't have
the skills to use it.

822
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,240
They're not selling guns here.
What about knife?

823
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,440
Yeah, you get knife.
Shit, I'm just as good with a

824
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:03,200
knife as I am with a gun are.
You gonna duct tape a knife to

825
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,080
your hand?
That's a great idea, JB.

826
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,280
Oh no.
Knife was a Kimbo trying.

827
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,160
To think if you could get like a
brass knuckles or something.

828
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:15,520
I could, I could give him my
chain, the chain that I have.

829
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,360
Oh, it is suitable for
scuffling, I'd argue.

830
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:24,320
No that as soon as you are using
a not your fists and hands, it

831
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,160
becomes a weapon skill.
Well, is there anyone around who

832
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:31,600
can graft adamantium onto my
bone claws that protrude from my

833
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,040
hands?
I've got 2 preparedness left,

834
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:40,520
let's see what I can do.
Reg hands Collin his brass

835
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,040
knuckles that he's been carrying
around for a while.

836
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:44,800
Yeah.
Oh wow.

837
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,640
Friendship, man.
Thanks Reg, I'll put them to

838
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,600
good use.
Here we go in the corner on page

839
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,600
61.
Blackjack's brass muscles saps

840
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,080
rolls of quarters, Schillig's
tucked into the 1st and similar

841
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:04,560
sorts of life preserving gear do
-1 damage rather than -2 As for

842
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,640
a normal fist attack, using them
in a test of scuffling, not

843
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:09,960
weapons.
There you go.

844
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,520
Yeah, so there.
Yeah, some brass knuckles.

845
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,120
Again, That's not a gun, but
they don't have guns here for

846
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,000
you.
Well, it's better than throwing

847
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,600
dynamite at everybody.
Yes, because you're going to run

848
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:23,400
out.
Yeah.

849
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:26,800
How much have you listed how
much dynamite you have?

850
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,960
Well, we had a bundle from the
church guy and then we had a

851
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,520
little bit from the construction
site.

852
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,840
A bundle and a little bit.
I portioned it out so everybody

853
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,960
has at least one stick.
Let's say you have a dozen

854
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,160
sticks of dynamite.
Oh, I was thinking way lower

855
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:44,960
than that.
Let's go with a dozen.

856
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,560
Then, well, we.
Let's go with a dozen then.

857
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,080
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you, kind.

858
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:53,240
Definitely GM.
Yeah, let it not be said that I

859
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:57,160
am not occasionally generous.
If that weren't the case, we

860
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,920
probably wouldn't have the
dynamite in the first place.

861
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,360
Yeah.
Or a flamethrower.

862
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,880
Wait, that didn't go too well.
You shouldn't have had the

863
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,280
flamethrower.
The next time we see our

864
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:13,520
characters, the camera has a
wide shot across the dunes as

865
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:18,600
Then we see each of you on a
camel as you go over the desert.

866
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,160
All.
Right, everybody do your best

867
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,240
Camel noise.
No.

868
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,200
Am I Am I the only one that's
riding here?

869
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,640
Probably.
This may be the case.

870
00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:32,800
Yeah, JB isn't riding the camel
so much as clinging on to it for

871
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,120
dear life.
Yeah.

872
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,480
Reg is not doing anything.
Colin is somehow C.

873
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:42,400
If you would like to make a
writing role for me to be just

874
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:47,080
in general, not given the
seasickness that sometimes

875
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,600
camels give you.
Nope.

876
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,960
As I described, I have
seasickness.

877
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,720
Wait, is that is that a one
again?

878
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,240
Yep.
My God, what's the difficulty on

879
00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:01,000
that?
Difficulty. 3 Reg is feeling

880
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,080
slick.
Miraculously, JB's OK.

881
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,160
I'm going to throw up for you
cable.

882
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,120
Kearns is doing just fine with
A5.

883
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,160
OK, here's what's going to
happen.

884
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,760
This is a day of travelling in
the desert heat.

885
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:19,080
Each of you are now going to
move to level 1 heat, except for

886
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,080
the two of you who are feeling
camel sick.

887
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,040
Those people are going to move
to Level 2 on the heat track.

888
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:26,840
Amazing, yeah.
Who?

889
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:33,560
What?
Oh boy, here I hand you my

890
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,320
canteen of water.
Got to replenish those fluids.

891
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:42,840
Thank you very much, Ken.
Did you just fucking throw up

892
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,400
into the canteen, you
motherfucker?

893
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,120
Jackass.
Reg pulls out what he thinks is

894
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:54,200
the best here for an upset
stomach whiskey.

895
00:51:55,240 --> 00:51:57,000
Reg.
Is wrong for the record.

896
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,760
Just want to establish that.
I.

897
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,640
Guess I can't say that for
certain because I don't drink,

898
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,640
but that just feels like common
sense to me that Reg is wrong on

899
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,000
that one.
I mean, have you ever gotten

900
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,000
drunk when it was stupid hot?
I have.

901
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:17,400
It is not fun.
As this is going on, a thick

902
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,560
pawl of flies rises from a
jackal's body laying ignored on

903
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,520
the ground.
After your day of travel, I

904
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:30,360
would like to note here there
are ways to deal with your heat

905
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,000
because you are still in the
heat.

906
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,080
Like you're not in a really nice
place, you're still in the

907
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,800
desert.
Difficulty 3 plus your heat

908
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:45,640
track level.
First aid or medicine can reduce

909
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:49,120
your position on the heat track.
I will spend a point for both me

910
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,200
and Reg, One point each.
So here's for Reg.

911
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,640
There we go.
Let's better.

912
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,880
OK, so that's a 2 + 1.
That's a three.

913
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:59,840
That is a failure.
So not much better.

914
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,440
But yeah, I succeeded at rolling
the dice.

915
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,120
Yeah, would you like to roll
another die?

916
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,920
This one's for Colin.
Yay.

917
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,840
Well, somebody's doing better,
at least.

918
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,520
Colin takes care of himself a
little bit.

919
00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:14,720
Sorry, I guess involvement on
you Rich.

920
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,480
I guess I can spend a point
because I've got medicine so.

921
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,080
OK well I've got one point of
first aid and like I'm arguably

922
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:28,160
the most tanky guy here so I
just want to see if you're going

923
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:32,360
to need help at all because my
my instinct is to take care of

924
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,320
other people 1st and then
myself.

925
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,040
Maybe it'd be better if we just
each take just take care of

926
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,480
ourselves, since each of us only
has a point to spend.

927
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,400
OK.
So this one's for me, that's a

928
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,800
success, OK.
Yay.

929
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:49,800
All right.
I failed.

930
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:55,080
OK, looks like JB is the most
able to deal with the heat.

931
00:53:55,240 --> 00:54:00,040
If you spend a whole day resting
you could reduce yourself on the

932
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:06,640
heat track, and if you spend a
point of first aid or medicine

933
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,800
in a Oasis or something you
could go back to 0.

934
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:15,440
Question because of I was
looking at the outdoorsman

935
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,800
skill.
Would I be?

936
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:22,120
Able to use that to help
mitigate some of the effects

937
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:23,640
that I'm feeling.
OK.

938
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,560
I will let you spend a point of
outdoorsman.

939
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:32,000
I'm 100% OK with that.
OK, I'll let you spend a point.

940
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,800
I don't get the opportunity to
use that skill very much.

941
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:36,680
Does anybody else have
Outdoorsman?

942
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:38,720
I do.
And Reg, you have a couple

943
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:40,720
points of outdoorsman, right?
Yeah, I have like 4 points.

944
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,200
OK.
You are outdoors.

945
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,320
I would suggest nobody spend all
of their points of outdoorsman.

946
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:47,680
It's all I'm going to say.
Yeah.

947
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:49,880
Oh no.
I sense trouble.

948
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:54,760
The one so.
All right, next day of travel

949
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,720
I'm not gonna have you roll for
the camels.

950
00:54:56,720 --> 00:54:58,320
That was just sort of a one time
thing.

951
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,800
But each of your heat is going
to go up by one who has the

952
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,080
highest heat.
Then that's gonna be Colin, I

953
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,120
believe.
I'm at 2.

954
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:12,080
So it's going to be you and Reg
are going to be at 2 I believe.

955
00:55:12,240 --> 00:55:13,880
Who do you think's more affected
by the heat?

956
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:19,800
I think Reg is starting to deal
with it with the outdoorsman.

957
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,880
OK, tell him.
Feels terrible.

958
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:25,560
He has been throwing up nonstop.
That can't be good for you man.

959
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:30,920
You see that he is definitely
suffering.

960
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,520
You, my friend, have never been
so hot in your life.

961
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,560
Absolutely.
Your clothes cling to your body,

962
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,760
no longer even wet.
All sweat has long since

963
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,440
evaporated from the husk your
body is becoming.

964
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,040
Blinking your eyes no longer
lubricates them against the

965
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:51,600
dust, so you leave them closed
for long moments, forging ahead

966
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,320
blindly listening for the
camel's footsteps.

967
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:59,360
Guess I'll just die then.
Can I use my one point of

968
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,200
endorsement to help Colin?
Not yet.

969
00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:06,400
OK.
Your head pounds, your bottom

970
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,640
aches, even your hands are
stabbed with sharp pains and

971
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,960
your friends notice that you in
the heat.

972
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,400
Maybe there's a madness to it,
or something have taken a huge

973
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,640
bloody bite out of the fleshy
base of your.

974
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:29,080
Thumb.
Well, this jerks you back into a

975
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:33,720
little bit of a sense of
awareness, and you have a lump

976
00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:38,440
of warm, wet flesh in your mouth
and a rivulet of blood running

977
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,600
down your forearm.
How's it taste TM?

978
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,640
Irony.
This is going to require you a

979
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,560
three-point stability test.
This makes sense to me, yes.

980
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,040
I mean a difficulty for loss of
three.

981
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:54,360
Gotcha.
OK.

982
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:58,160
Everybody else loss of two all.
Right, that brings me down to 2.

983
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:02,080
Who's ready to see JB snap like
a Twix bar?

984
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,280
Never mind.
Hey, I miraculously passed.

985
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,800
JB has yet to snap like a Twix
bar.

986
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,720
Sometimes you're just hungry for
hands.

987
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,240
Currents has seen worse.
OK, yeah.

988
00:57:14,240 --> 00:57:17,160
So we're all fine.
I I mean, Colin's not fine, but

989
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,440
we're all fine.
Who put this in my mouth?

990
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:25,160
You need Colin, you suffer a
point of damage.

991
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,520
Oh, that makes sense too.
Yeah, yeah.

992
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:33,440
And you are going to suffer a +
1 increase the difficulties of

993
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,560
all tests involving your hand,
which of course was your

994
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,800
dominant hand that you took a
bite out of, all right.

995
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:46,160
So Colin just got nerfed.
Hey, Colin, don't you put in

996
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,960
your mouth.
Now can I use my point of

997
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,280
outdoorsman to help him?
We have reached the end of the

998
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,480
day.
Is that a yes?

999
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:59,000
Yes, you may, Yes.
OK, do I roll or do I just spend

1000
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,080
the point?
I guess I, I guess I could be

1001
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:02,440
generous.
You could spend a point of

1002
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,920
outdoorsmen to to reduce it by
1.

1003
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,520
OK.
I shall do so.

1004
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,800
I think the way it looks is
where are we staying?

1005
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,200
Like, just like straight up in
the dunes.

1006
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,440
Yeah, that's all you can do.
Yeah, I think the way it looks

1007
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,880
is I give him my blanket and I
make sure he's as comfortable as

1008
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,440
possible and like as warm as
possible in the in the cold

1009
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,800
because the temperature
difference can do stuff to your

1010
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,200
body.
Yeah, not much else I can do.

1011
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:35,800
If you'd like to spend outdoors,
midpoints or make similar roles

1012
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,160
like we did before, you may.
If not, we will continue for one

1013
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,320
more day of travel, right I?
Should maybe first aid my hand?

1014
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:46,680
Yeah, I'll make one more spend.
What, what sort of penalty does

1015
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,800
Colin takes to his stuff?
Oh -1 to hand stuff.

1016
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,920
What?
Yeah, he's still got -1 to hand

1017
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,840
stuff, but where?
What's your heat level at?

1018
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,600
Just went up again.
You she spent a point of

1019
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,120
outdoors, but to make it go down
by 1.

1020
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:02,480
So it'd be down to 1.
OK.

1021
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,080
It went up and then it got
reduced again.

1022
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,480
Yes.
OK, so 2 still.

1023
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,200
Something.
Yeah, the rest of you are also

1024
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:15,080
probably floating around 2 I
believe in terms of heat.

1025
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,120
I spent so I should be back
down.

1026
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:21,680
OK, gotcha.
I have nothing to spend.

1027
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,920
OK.
I spent everything I had on

1028
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:26,440
Colin so.
Now.

1029
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,520
Keeping my first aid points in
case we need them.

1030
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,920
Someone.
Told me I'm going to narratively

1031
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,320
first aid.
Refresh my first aid.

1032
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,120
I don't actually remember who.
Probably K.

1033
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,120
Yeah, K did it.
K is dead.

1034
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,440
Whoa, that's freaky, JB.
Don't speak I'll of the dead.

1035
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,600
I will haunt your asses.
OK.

1036
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:50,240
Cool, did anybody else hear
that?

1037
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,680
Does it hate the hallucination?
Kearns scratches his forearms.

1038
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,360
Kay shows up as a fucking forced
ghost.

1039
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:04,160
Jesus Christ.
Little did the mouth realize

1040
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,200
that once she was exploded, she
would rise more powerful than

1041
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,920
ever.
Your next day of travel.

1042
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:19,520
Yes.
Your next day of travel is going

1043
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:24,400
to take you to Dalo Village.
Your guides tell you that they

1044
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,400
are going to not enter the
village proper, but they're

1045
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,440
actually going to travel a
little bit past it to the east

1046
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,440
where they know what Oasis is.
That's smart.

1047
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,920
And they will wait there for.
You sounds so lovely.

1048
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,840
No, we might find something in
the village that that will ease

1049
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,920
our suffering.
They think they got spas there.

1050
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,960
I very much doubt it, Mr. Caine.
Yeah, I wouldn't.

1051
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,200
Call in due stability heat
stroke a.

1052
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,360
Little out of it.
You have reached dowel.

1053
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:56,200
You noticed, without having to
make a sense trouble check that

1054
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:59,520
as you were approaching you were
being watched.

1055
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,960
There were people with
binoculars that noticed you as

1056
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:05,800
you were approaching.
How many?

1057
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,320
Just one man on a camel.
OK.

1058
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:15,360
Dynamite No.
As you approach the village, it

1059
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,760
looks not too different from
Kaluli village.

1060
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,840
Both have a few permanent
buildings made of salt blocks

1061
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,760
supplemented by tents in the
native style.

1062
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,520
But there are a lot of tents
here.

1063
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:33,400
It seems like this village is
larger than the vibe you were

1064
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:38,400
getting from the people who were
describing it back in Kalui.

1065
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,520
That suggests to me that it has
grown bigger recently.

1066
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:47,800
They said that there are about
two dozen people lived here.

1067
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:52,800
You see that there are at least
two dozen individual tents here,

1068
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,480
and a tent would have a
household of people in it.

1069
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,720
Yeah, this ain't great.
You're guides travel 1/4 mile to

1070
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,440
the east of the village.
They refuse to go in.

1071
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,400
If you were expecting them to be
interpreters, they are

1072
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,800
uninterested.
I figured.

1073
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:15,440
No one runs out to meet you as
you approach the village.

1074
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:17,360
You think anyone here speaks
German?

1075
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:23,320
Only one way to find out.
OK, I I the vibes here are bad.

1076
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:27,240
Colin is not so out of it that
he runs to work the village, so

1077
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,720
they couldn't doubt.
Well, that's good.

1078
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,920
I would like to establish
something before we go too much

1079
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,440
further.
That's kind of why I was waiting

1080
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,760
before we went any further in
case people wanted to say

1081
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:43,440
anything, yeah.
Before we parted ways with our

1082
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:47,640
guides, Reg would have asked you
what's to say why not?

1083
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:52,520
If he could get a a piece of
twine, like strip of leather,

1084
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:56,200
something off of him, sure.
OK, cool.

1085
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:01,120
It's getting tied to the corner
of the piece of fabric that Reg

1086
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,080
bought.
So you could hang it up and then

1087
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,320
jump through it.
No, you think too small, Daniel.

1088
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,520
OK.
I'm going to let you have fun

1089
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,000
with.
Daniel of Daniel's thread tails.

1090
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,280
Because I have an idea.
Great.

1091
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,960
Why do you think me and Damien
were talking during the break

1092
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:23,520
about how irresponsible Damien
is with magic?

1093
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:29,560
Can confirm.
So as you draw closer to the

1094
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:35,800
village, you see that there are
several dozen people of all ages

1095
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,800
and genders assembling near the
edge of the town.

1096
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:43,160
They look at you but are silent
as you approach.

1097
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,800
No words are spoken.
Great.

1098
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:51,480
As you're looking at the people
here, one thing seems to be

1099
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,720
consistent amongst all the
people here.

1100
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,640
They are dressed in the
traditional garb of the people

1101
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,280
like in Kaluli.
They they look just like them

1102
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:04,360
except for the fact that many of
them are bandaged, especially on

1103
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:08,080
their hands and arms.
And where they are not bandaged,

1104
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:13,000
many have scars.
Many are missing at least a

1105
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,080
finger, a few are missing hands
or feet.

1106
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:20,360
This applies to both the adults,
the teens and the children.

1107
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:24,040
Now you think they got scars
under those bandages or mouths?

1108
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,840
Only one way to find out.
I'd rather we not find out to be

1109
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:28,520
honest.
Hey you.

1110
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:32,320
Guys.
They all are staring at you

1111
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,920
silently.
Should we ask them to take us to

1112
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,600
their leader?
Are they getting in our way?

1113
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:40,800
No.
Do we just March on past them?

1114
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,800
This is terrifying.
Oh, sense trouble.

1115
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,120
OK, so I'm going to need you to
make a roll.

1116
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,480
Sure, that's my difficulty. 3.
I feel like I should be able to

1117
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,320
beat that on a diet, but I know
I can't.

1118
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,640
I will spend a point.
Nope.

1119
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:07,200
Wow.
I will give you no information

1120
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,640
on this sense trouble check.
That doesn't mean that there is

1121
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,240
trouble or there isn't trouble.
I'm just going to say no

1122
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:17,000
information is gained.
God yeah, this all seems fine.

1123
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:18,520
Let's go check out the eating
pit.

1124
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:23,400
Fuck.
Can I roll sense trouble?

1125
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:25,240
Sure.
Please do.

1126
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:29,920
OK, same difficulty.
Yeah, imagine if I roll A1 as

1127
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:31,600
well.
Hey, I'm going to spend one

1128
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:33,400
point.
Oh thank God, I.

1129
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,880
Did not need to spend.
I roll the six.

1130
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:40,440
OK Kurds, obviously this is bad
news.

1131
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,880
Like this is kind of unsettling
at this many people.

1132
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:48,040
If they were to try to get you,
you would not be able to fight

1133
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,600
them off though.
The fact you were on a camel is

1134
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,960
useful though as you go into the
village proper your camel is

1135
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,880
also getting a little bit upset.
Oh, I figured we would like park

1136
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,400
the camel somewhere and just.
Like, that's kind of what I

1137
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:01,960
think, yeah.
You're going to park the camels

1138
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,320
at the edge of the village.
As I'm walking through, I have

1139
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,760
my shotgun just casually slung
over my shoulder.

1140
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:13,800
But none of them seem like they
want to attack you.

1141
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,920
In fact, it seems you are
expected.

1142
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:24,200
Yeah, I'm going to casually lean
over to whoever's closest to me

1143
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,840
and I'm going to say it seems
that we're expected.

1144
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,080
Well, where are we going?
Who's waiting for us?

1145
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,600
Colin addresses the crowd.
The crowd does not understand

1146
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,160
what you are saying.
We're the Americans.

1147
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:38,600
Oh.
Stop it.

1148
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,040
I think they they figured that
out.

1149
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,240
I can repeat the same in French.
They don't understand that

1150
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,320
either.
However, several of them are

1151
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,680
motioning and pointing for you
to go a certain direction.

1152
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,320
Perfect, that's basically what I
was waiting for.

1153
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,880
Yeah.
All right, let's stay on the

1154
01:06:58,120 --> 01:06:59,960
camels.
Maybe that way we can escape

1155
01:06:59,960 --> 01:07:02,800
quickly if necessary.
You're gonna have to get off the

1156
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,000
camels when you get into the
village.

1157
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:09,000
And also, yeah, if they down the
camels, it's a pretty long way

1158
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,240
to fall, Yeah.
And also there's a chance that

1159
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:17,720
the camel will land on us, so.
Yeah, OK, this is bad.

1160
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:23,360
You are LED into the village and
as you pass by while some look

1161
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,120
up at you with a little bit of
curiosity, then go back to their

1162
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:31,040
work.
Eventually a fair number join

1163
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:35,240
what turns out to be a
procession towards the salt

1164
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,000
block building in the center of
the village.

1165
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,840
When?
I was a young boy.

1166
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:48,600
As you walk, you do notice that
many villagers are hurting

1167
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:52,520
themselves, cutting themselves
with small blades, bits of

1168
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,040
glass, or their own fingernails
or teeth.

1169
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,400
No one seems to be a perturbed
by this.

1170
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,120
In fact, village elders will
sometimes give a nod of approval

1171
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:05,640
when they see somebody doing
that.

1172
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:12,360
Reg is going to nonchalantly
make sure the safety's on his

1173
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:18,000
pistols are not in safe mode.
Shotgun on my shoulder.

1174
01:08:18,359 --> 01:08:20,160
Yeah.
Anyway, don't mind.

1175
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:26,240
Knife.
A boy no more than 14 steps out

1176
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:27,760
from the crowd and steps up to
you.

1177
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,880
He offers a small rusty knife in
his open hands.

1178
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:36,600
His eyes look generous as his
lips peel back at a grin of

1179
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,479
blood stained teeth.
Oh yeah, sure, Slash.

1180
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,040
What you you slash yourself?
Yeah.

1181
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,560
OK.
The knife was rusty.

1182
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,880
Everybody's doing it.
That's tetanus.

1183
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:53,240
We'll deal with that later.
If you slash yourself only a

1184
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:54,880
little bit.
Just a little bit, yeah.

1185
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,200
We're not going to have any
specific actions, though.

1186
01:08:57,359 --> 01:08:59,760
Make a note of perhaps tetanus
later on.

1187
01:08:59,920 --> 01:09:01,640
Where do you slash yourself?
Like on your hand.

1188
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,120
Side of the hand not.
Palm side of the hand, say one

1189
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,720
that you had bitten part of your
thumb off of off of.

1190
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,200
Yes, I I think these things are
kind of related, OK.

1191
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:15,760
Mr. Kane, are you all right?
Just seemed like the thing to

1192
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:17,120
do.
Seriously.

1193
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,040
I think the heat might be
getting to me.

1194
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:24,439
Oh, you think?
As you reach the building, 2

1195
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:29,319
villagers precede you in, each
drawing their hand across a

1196
01:09:29,319 --> 01:09:33,880
block of salt in the door frame.
It's which many shards of glass

1197
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:37,920
have been embedded.
This draws blood, and you see

1198
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:42,279
that there are dried blood
stains on this brick that extend

1199
01:09:42,279 --> 01:09:44,640
nearly to the ground on the side
of the door frame.

1200
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,439
Nope.
Going to going to pass on that

1201
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:47,200
one.
I'm going.

1202
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,560
Yet no, Reggie is not going to
follow you.

1203
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:55,880
There's no consequence for not
doing it, though the people were

1204
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:00,960
maybe expecting you to.
Is there a consequence if I sort

1205
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,040
of discreetly make the sign of a
cross?

1206
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,240
No.
Good, I do that.

1207
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,400
God's got no power here.
It helps me.

1208
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:15,520
It helps me feel better.
Yeah, the building itself is

1209
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:19,520
rather large.
There's definitely a room behind

1210
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:23,120
the one you are in, but you are
in sort of the outer room of the

1211
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:28,160
building.
It has 2 chambers though, but

1212
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,200
the doorway to the next chamber
is obscured by a hanging cloth

1213
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:32,600
that leads deeper into the
building.

1214
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:38,600
Sitting in the middle of the
room is a woman who appears to

1215
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,880
be in her 30s, neither old nor
young compared to the other

1216
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,120
women in the village.
She wears A shawl wrapped around

1217
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,240
her torso.
I don't know if this is makes

1218
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:52,160
you feel better or not.
She is covering her breasts.

1219
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:55,840
Well actually I should note
she's covering her breast.

1220
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:59,720
You can tell from the outline
that she only has one breast.

1221
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,520
Holy shit.
This is Renee reacting, by the

1222
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:04,160
way.
Yeah.

1223
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,200
Yeah, I'm, I'm with you there,
team.

1224
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:11,120
Is she like actively bleeding
from where the missing breast

1225
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:12,720
used to be?
No.

1226
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,760
OK, OK.
That's good.

1227
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,600
Yeah, Ish.
Besides this woman sitting in

1228
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:24,160
the center of the room serenely
and the two villagers who

1229
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:30,360
preceded you into the room,
there is a very old and frankly

1230
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:35,040
grossly mutilated man who sits
on a stump of some native wood.

1231
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:42,000
Both of his eyes are gone, he
has hollow sockets gaping where

1232
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,400
they once were.
Both of his feet have been

1233
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:49,360
severed and his entire right arm
is gone at the shoulder.

1234
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:54,120
This man speaks a small bit of
French.

1235
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:59,840
OK, I am at a loss of what to
say so.

1236
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:05,520
He says I am Hapty.
Thank you for coming.

1237
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,800
I look helplessly at Reg, to be
honest.

1238
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,240
It's like, what do we make out
of this?

1239
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,080
What's he saying, Kearns?
Oh yeah, I translate.

1240
01:12:16,480 --> 01:12:19,520
Obviously I translate and like
look helplessly.

1241
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,200
Quite the welcome.
You later first.

1242
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:28,480
What's this all about?
Sit, sit, sit.

1243
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:30,120
The chairs aren't sharp, are
they?

1244
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,720
They're not chairs.
Oh, OK.

1245
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,040
I sit Criss cross applesauce.
Does everyone sit?

1246
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:40,240
Oh, not Neil, as you might think
of it, but to go down on my

1247
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:41,240
knees.
OK.

1248
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:43,600
Yeah.
Yeah, Red will.

1249
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,160
Take sit.
Sit on your knees.

1250
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:46,240
Kind of.
There you go.

1251
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:50,000
The woman says something in
affer to this man.

1252
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:54,360
He translates it.
The wind is pleased that you

1253
01:12:54,360 --> 01:13:00,120
have come to us.
The Wind JB Rich, What do you

1254
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,800
make of this The.
Wind from where?

1255
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,240
Again, difficult translations
here.

1256
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:11,120
Stumble translations.
The agony on the wind.

1257
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:26,400
Thanks for listening.
Daniel is our keeper, Renee is

1258
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,600
Franklin Kearns, Nathan is JB
Falk Damien is Reginald

1259
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,640
Killworth and mixing, mastering
music and playing Colin Kane is

1260
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:35,200
Russell.
Our album art is by Train, the

1261
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,720
Tee Time Witch and our main
themes by Claire LW.

1262
01:13:38,440 --> 01:13:40,880
We have a Patreon now where you
can kick as few bucks if you

1263
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,320
want to help with costs, but
you're under no obligation to do

1264
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,280
so.
The next episode is up there in

1265
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,680
a very raw state, and there will
be more to come as soon as one

1266
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,480
of us finds the secret code that
makes Patreon make sense to us

1267
01:13:51,480 --> 01:13:52,960
again.
Thanks for listening and until

1268
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,960
next time.
I do not envy the decisions our

1269
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:57,280
editor has to make.
