Eternal Lies 17: The Dalliance in Dallol

1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,360
Daniel's Dread Tales is a show
for grown-ups.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,280
It may contain adult language
and adult themes.

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,520
Please check the episode
description for content.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:18,640
Warnings previously on Eternal
Lies.

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,480
After a brief stay in Calluli,
the investigators headed for

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,680
Dalol, where it appeared a local
branch of the Mouth cult calls

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,320
home, suffering the blistering
heat of the desert as they did

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,240
so.
Desert environs affected the

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,520
detective most profoundly, as
Mr. Cain began a disturbing

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,800
pattern of self harm which
somehow paled in comparison to

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,160
what awaited them in Dalol.
The scarred and bloody detisons

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,720
led the investigators to the
apparent leader of the village,

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,840
where they were beginning to
learn about the agony on the

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,600
winds.
The Dioscats.

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,840
The pact is sealed.
May God have mercy on our souls.

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,320
It's Daniels.
Dread Tails.

17
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,040
We don't need our DM.
Yeah, it's not showing up on my

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,120
Audacity line, is it?
Show it up a little bit, OK?

19
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:30,160
I'm going to turn it off.
OK so y'all remember what we

20
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,720
were doing?
Not in the slightest.

21
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,320
Oh I don't there was, but I have
notes.

22
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,640
Oh right, we were in.
Dello.

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,800
The village of Yeah.
Fucking blood perverts.

24
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,600
Yeah, we were there and
everybody had been.

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,680
Mutilated.
Scarified.

26
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:01,240
Mutilated heavily and we were
talking to the the village head

27
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,720
it seemed.
Yeah.

28
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,800
Hard to say, but it was nice and
distressing.

29
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,479
Habti, I believe the name of the
guy was.

30
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:16,120
Habti was the name of the man
who was translating for you, but

31
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,720
you don't know the name of this
village chief, as you surmise

32
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,000
that they are.
Oh, the chief is the lady.

33
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,280
Yeah, yeah, you.
Go girl.

34
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,960
More woman stealth bomber
pilots.

35
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,960
Yay.
I hate that I know what you're

36
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,440
talking about.
As the token woman on this crew,

37
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,000
I appreciate any form of
representation.

38
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,560
OK, even if she's horrible.
Duh.

39
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,280
OK, Right.
Of course.

40
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:54,560
God forbid a lady has ambitions.
Or hobbies, all right.

41
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,360
Yeah, so she's missing the boob.
What's up with that?

42
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,080
Karen's asks.
So to set the stage, you are now

43
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,000
sitting in this building, 1 of
the more permanent looking

44
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,280
buildings in this town.
You were all LED here by the

45
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,360
villagers.
You're now sitting on the dirt

46
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:24,880
floor here and a man with a lot
of mutilations is translating

47
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,440
the words of this severe looking
woman who is looking like

48
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,960
they're in charge.
I should mention when I say

49
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:40,760
severely disfigured, like he
doesn't have eyes or feet and

50
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,920
his right arm is gone.
So like this guy's translating

51
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,800
for you, it's been disfigured
quite a bit.

52
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,560
Like many people in the town,
though, this one seems to have

53
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,800
been disfigured a lot.
I believe this time I'm

54
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,280
translating because you
mentioned the guy speaks bit of

55
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,800
French.
I speak French.

56
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,920
Right.
Yeah, and the thing that she

57
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,360
said to you through the words of
this man are the wind is pleased

58
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,280
that you have come to us.
It was some sort of special

59
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,080
wind, something that devours or
screams or something the.

60
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,000
Agony.
Yeah, the agony on the wind.

61
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:21,600
Wasn't just the wind.
That would be kind of a pleasant

62
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,680
maybe.
Well, I believe you, she said.

63
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,800
The wind is pleased that you've
come and you said what when and

64
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,760
then they said the agony on the
wind.

65
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,120
OK, so the way translating works
is that some things just kind of

66
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,520
lose something in translation,
right?

67
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:43,760
Yes.
Especially if the translator

68
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,840
doesn't have great command of
the language they're translating

69
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:50,040
to.
So knowing that I look at

70
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,800
Reggie, can you roll some sort
of mythos?

71
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Mythos check.
See if you know anything about a

72
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,360
agonized wind.
With your mythos skill, that off

73
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,640
the top of your head does not
sound like something

74
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,880
specifically, you know, if you'd
like to spend a point, maybe you

75
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,840
might know about it, but.
Yeah, spending points is risky

76
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:14,920
though.
There is a reason why I've been

77
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,720
like holding off on doing point
spends when it comes to meet

78
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,120
those stuff.
It doesn't sound like something

79
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,080
that I've come across before.
I would need to take a look at a

80
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,440
couple of sources for that.
We can pretty well assume that

81
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,960
it has something to do with
these mouths though.

82
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,240
Well, maybe it's a title.
Is there any way we could meet

83
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,720
this agony of the winds?
I translate.

84
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,360
There's some translation going
on.

85
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,960
Yeah, this.
Is cheap.

86
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:50,200
This is what, 3-4 languages
removed at this point?

87
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:57,720
It's not great.
The wise to Shombei says that

88
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:04,560
one does not meet the agony on
the wind, that you feel it in

89
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,640
every part of your body.
You must know it.

90
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,120
You must know it.
You too have heard its voice.

91
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:19,160
And the voice is agony, a voice
whose counsel opens the way to

92
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,680
the purest of experience.
Wild guess, pure.

93
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,640
Does the voice maybe belong to
one of the mouths?

94
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,960
What do you think, gentlemen?
I would prefer not to think

95
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,440
about that.
I mean, the logic tracks

96
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,800
unfortunately quite smoothly,
but that would mean that the

97
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,160
mouth out here is still alive.
Did you have any doubts about

98
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,680
it?
It was buried in lava so I had

99
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,960
hope, but.
I'm guessing being buried in

100
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,360
lava would be quite the agony.
Yes it would.

101
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,280
Well, she seems to be wanting to
talk to you, so ask away I

102
00:06:58,280 --> 00:06:59,680
guess.
Yeah, I guess.

103
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,720
I guess this is a dialogue.
To be honest, I'm quite

104
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,920
terrified of this woman.
And at any second I feel like

105
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,400
she's going to have everybody
try and get us human sacrifice.

106
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,280
But she hasn't done that yet.
So while we're here, we might as

107
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,400
well.
And suddenly all knowledge of

108
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,880
talking has left me instantly
so.

109
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,240
Can can Renee suggest something
'cause Kearns is not the brains?

110
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,080
OK.
Oh, please do.

111
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,680
Please do, Renee.
Who does the voice belong to?

112
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:30,960
Yeah, yeah.
That's a.

113
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,680
Or like where is it coming from?
Yeah, that's a good place to

114
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,280
start 'cause even if we don't
have a name we have, we can

115
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,280
maybe get a direction.
Where is the voice coming from

116
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,040
then?
Again, translation.

117
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:50,760
Translation.
The voice is on the winds we

118
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,520
hear it's wind whispers.
It revealed itself to us some

119
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,760
years ago, slowly, in dreams and
signs.

120
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,760
It showed us the ways of
veneration.

121
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,520
Our worship has been rewarded by
the increase of our number.

122
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,920
Relatives from the tribe come to
join.

123
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,200
Now they dwell permanently in
this village, knowing that they

124
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:27,080
will be blessed and given pure
experience beyond what Eddie

125
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,880
could ever ask.
OK, Pinhead, tone it down.

126
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,159
But seems to be saying it's not
coming from it seems to be

127
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:40,720
coming from the wind.
If it's coming from a mouth,

128
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,799
they're not saying that.
Yeah, they either just aren't

129
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,840
interested in sharing or simply
don't know the origin.

130
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,600
And this is just me going out on
a limb here, but I'm guessing

131
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,880
the process of worship is all
the you know what?

132
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,240
No, I'm just going to ask
outright worshipping the voice.

133
00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:59,960
What?
What does that involve?

134
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,600
I mean, I assume I know, but I'm
quite scared that I'm right.

135
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,480
It took time, many years, to
understand what was asked of us

136
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:16,000
and to appreciate the magnitude
of what was asked, to organize

137
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:24,280
our lives around the worship,
the pain which brings ecstasy.

138
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,360
Yeah, I thought so.
My master Tishombe asks why you

139
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,640
have come here.
The agony told of your coming.

140
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,520
It's said to watch for you.
Are you messengers?

141
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:44,720
I have a sort.
That's a way to put it.

142
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,200
Is there a message that you're
waiting for?

143
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:53,160
I'm trying to figure out what to
say that won't get us stabbed to

144
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,720
death.
Are you the messenger?

145
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,320
Stay puff, Marshmallow Man.
Yeah, I was going to say when

146
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,000
someone asks you if you're a
God, you say yes.

147
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,280
Both both, both is good.
Yeah, sure, why not?

148
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,320
I'm the messenger.
Kearns looks at you quizzically.

149
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,200
You are the messenger.
Absolutely, Kearns.

150
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,200
He specifically is the
messenger, not the rest of us.

151
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,840
Oh wait, that might get us more
likely to be stabbed.

152
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,160
As you say, you are the
messenger.

153
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:36,080
The man reaches up and touches
your face, feeling it to

154
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:41,400
understand what you look like.
Oh perfect, people who know what

155
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,920
I look like.
And then there is more chatter.

156
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,640
It is longer than the message.
Perhaps he is describing your

157
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:56,080
face to the woman, but he can't
see who sits there cross legged

158
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,600
with her arms out saying very
little.

159
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,840
Is she blind as well?
She is not blind.

160
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,800
No, she could see.
Oh, OK.

161
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,400
But maybe he wants to know what
the messenger looks like.

162
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,200
Your message, What is it?
What does the voice?

163
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,480
Which of us are we to take a new
step?

164
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,720
We do what we must to bring you
into this world.

165
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,920
Is there more we must do?
Oh, I could get so fucked up

166
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,840
here.
Or, hear me out, we could try

167
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:34,080
and convince them to stop.
I don't know if it'll work.

168
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,760
Oh, you know that's not going to
work.

169
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,800
Fair enough, but I.
Mean, I feel like there's a good

170
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,600
opportunity here.
Yeah.

171
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,720
Oh God.
I mean, Renee doesn't feel that

172
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,000
way.
Kearns absolutely does.

173
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:56,200
So if I was to try and weave
some sort of bullshit, would I

174
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,520
be able to spend my last point
of mouth skill in order to make

175
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,080
it believable?
I would say you could spend the

176
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,000
point to make it more
believable.

177
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,400
However, you will need to think.
You will need to say will need

178
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,880
to be within the bounds of
reasonable.

179
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,200
Does that make sense?
Yes.

180
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:17,120
OK.
Reasonable to.

181
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,800
Them reasonable is a very wishy
washy concept.

182
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,080
For example, yeah, we are
currently in the self harm

183
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,360
dimension where everybody's
mutilating themselves.

184
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:37,760
Seems reasonable to them.
Clearly exactly you are to go

185
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,840
and worship at the site of the
volcano.

186
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:47,840
There you will receive a reward
each and everyone of you, but

187
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,680
you must supplicate yourself
there to the best of your

188
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,160
ability.
I think that would take the box

189
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,480
for being reasonable.
What are you going for here?

190
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,800
Show us where the mouth is.
Fair enough.

191
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:04,120
Show us where the mouth is.
Also it.

192
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:11,240
It is a volcanically active area
and I'm not going to be ashamed

193
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,840
of saying this, but if they can
end up severely harming

194
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,520
themselves there, that might
make less that we have to deal

195
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,880
with.
You're a twisted motherfucker

196
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,920
and I appreciate it right now.
Reggie is most definitely a

197
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,800
twisted motherfucker.
And he's also being pragmatic.

198
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,520
We can't find a whole village of
people, mutilated or not.

199
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,680
I have a different idea.
What's your different idea?

200
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,720
These are not in conflict, I
just have a different idea.

201
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,480
Oh, OK.
So I'm going to go ahead and

202
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,080
make that spend, if you're OK
with it, Daniel.

203
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Yes, OK.
So I no longer have a bespoke

204
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,080
mouth skill.
Now what's the French for?

205
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,360
Supplicate.
Oh yeah.

206
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,800
Yeah, is the is is is it also
supplicate?

207
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,560
Yeah, at the words that Hafti
speaks to Tuchombei, Tuchombei

208
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:09,600
kicks him in the face 2 times.
He whimpers and repeats himself

209
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,360
emphatically.
She then says something to him

210
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:18,440
which he translates back to you.
Tchombei tells me that

211
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:26,880
everything at the dig was before
the wind whispers, before the

212
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:32,240
agony began to speak to us.
It she says that it is

213
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,080
irrelevant.
It's not the volcano mouth.

214
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,640
What if the agony is airs?
Could be, but by spending the

215
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,520
point she is not immediately
distrustful of you.

216
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,440
You've couched it enough
symbolism and whatnot that she

217
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,000
thinks her translator is getting
it wrong.

218
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,600
And perhaps you could convince
some of them to go to the dig

219
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,360
site.
They are intrigued by the idea,

220
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,960
but de Chombe seems to say that
that is not where they need to

221
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,480
go.
She says the birth of the agony

222
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,920
will not be where it once was.
It will be here amongst us.

223
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,640
Well.
Interesting.

224
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,720
You know what, don't spend the
point.

225
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,800
I'm going to say, OK, don't
spend the point because you

226
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,640
don't super get what you were
going for.

227
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,640
I would say the point.
You were knowledgeable enough

228
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,520
there, but you'll get a big
effect from it.

229
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,600
So I'd feel bad if I took the
point away for that.

230
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,160
So we're going to, you're going
to get to keep that point.

231
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,200
Oakley Doakley.
And my idea was there are

232
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,120
deceivers abroad.
Trammell and his agents, they

233
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,040
seek to pervert your worship and
your deity.

234
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,520
If they come here, you need to
cast them out.

235
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:54,120
OK, this she's all in for yes,
foreigners do not understand the

236
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,680
exquisite beauty that is the
agony on the wind.

237
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,360
Now you can get weird with it.
Eat them, I don't care.

238
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,960
I feel like for them eating the,
I don't know, I just, I don't

239
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,080
think like that's too big of a
step, you know?

240
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,320
I don't translate it word for
word, I mostly convey the

241
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,880
meaning.
Do you say eat them?

242
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,000
No, I don't say eat them, OK?
I say something like do with

243
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,600
them as you like.
OK, the woman speaks once again

244
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:30,400
to the translator and to Shombei
asks you through this man Hapti,

245
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:36,520
what must we do?
Or are you less a voice and more

246
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,760
followers who have come to us?
It can be both.

247
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,440
I mean you, you did say to
distrust outsiders.

248
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,920
So they are going to listen to
that.

249
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,760
So that was that was a good
call.

250
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,080
I will say that was a good call.
Just keep in mind that we are

251
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,800
outsiders.
Too, of course.

252
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,000
Yes.
I spent so much time thinking of

253
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,560
how we could fuck with Trammell
despite not being in the same

254
00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,720
city.
Yes.

255
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,720
Hey, let's just call the cops
and tell them there's something

256
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,839
fucked up in his basement,
etcetera, etcetera.

257
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Yeah.
Can we ask them to like, just

258
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,000
take us to the voice?
I'm not sure how well that would

259
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,920
work because like, it's the way
they make it sound.

260
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,440
The voice is disembodied and on
the wind for them, you know.

261
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,280
Kearns, do you ask that 'cause
you can ask that you're the

262
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,119
translator?
Yeah.

263
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,560
So can you perhaps take us to
the Voice?

264
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,160
The man gives you a smile,
missing many teeth.

265
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:38,640
Of course he is.
And crawls towards Habte and

266
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:43,880
relays your message.
And after doing that he holds

267
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,360
out his good hand in her general
direction.

268
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:52,320
Groping blindly.
Tushombe takes his hand and

269
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,400
moves it beneath her shawl.
Strange and disturbing movements

270
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:03,240
of the fabric are accompanied by
a faint hiss and wet tearing.

271
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:09,520
Habti's face is wrapped with an
ecstatic pain, and a moment

272
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:15,360
later, rivulets of blood drip
down to Chambe's belly than what

273
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:18,800
the shawl covers.
She's got a mouse on her.

274
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:24,040
Habti continues to ride, tears
of pain and joy leaving dusty

275
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,680
tracks on his cheeks.
So what's the stability loss

276
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,680
here?
Yes, I was about to get to that,

277
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,640
obviously.
I was literally just about to

278
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,160
say that.
Yeah, yeah.

279
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,760
This is going to be a 5 point
Methos stability test for all

280
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,520
those who are present.
So it's a potential loss of five

281
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,160
and because it is a Methos it is
a difficulty 4.

282
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,680
Do you start getting problems at
0 or -1?

283
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,720
0.
That's a that's a great

284
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,160
question.
It's come up before.

285
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,560
I'm making this roll straight up
because I only have one point of

286
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,840
stability at the moment.
Me too, I just got to take the

287
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,880
5050 shot.
Oh, I actually.

288
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,520
Passed I passed Reggie on the
other hand.

289
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,480
I did not.
I did not.

290
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,880
So I'm at three.
Loss of five.

291
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm at -2.

292
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:22,600
Let's talk about what happens.
Here.

293
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,960
What are you at Reg?
Oh, I'm at -4 So we're basically

294
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,560
the the the same as far as the
effects.

295
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,280
Are we blasted?
We're blasted now, aren't we?

296
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,160
No Shaken.
Shaken right, blasted at like 5.

297
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:48,960
6 -, 6 is blasted and -12 or
less is incurably insane.

298
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,640
Yeah, which we are generally
trying to avoid.

299
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,160
No.
Some of us, anyway.

300
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,600
So the mechanically it's we
can't spend for investigative

301
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,440
and general ability pools
increase by 1.

302
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,680
Yeah, OK, you lose -1 to your
sanity rating permanently

303
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,600
because this was due to seeing
something from the mythos.

304
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,480
Yeah, Track.
Yeah.

305
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:14,840
Oh, I'm one closer to my goal.
Your goal?

306
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,360
There's there's actually a
mechanical reason for it.

307
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,160
According to the book, when
you're at sanity 0 spells just

308
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,360
like you don't have to roll for
them anymore as far as the

309
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:29,800
activation.
Yeah, but when you hit sanity 0,

310
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:35,600
you're insane and you can't
really play much anymore, so you

311
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,840
should make a note.
However, you are not going to

312
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,600
lose another sanity during the
Ethiopia adventure.

313
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,080
That is, that is going to be
your one sanity loss from loss

314
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,640
of stability.
Unless you lose more the next

315
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,160
time.
Is that how it works?

316
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,920
No, not with the stability.
I don't you can lose more

317
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,520
sanity.
Oh God damn it.

318
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,240
How does this the?
Rules for this game are so easy

319
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,040
to understand and intuitive.
Yeah, no, OK.

320
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,920
It won't be.
It won't happen again.

321
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:13,240
It won't happen again to you
during this investigation.

322
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,800
OK, so her boob mouth bit his
fucking hand off.

323
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:18,920
Yeah.
Yes.

324
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,640
For some reason I feel like this
makes sense.

325
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,360
There's a twisted sort of
antithesis here.

326
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,440
Something that feeds you, gives
your life, is literally eating

327
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,560
you.
Is the mouth on her boob or in

328
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,480
on her stomach?
You can see her stomach.

329
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,120
Oh.
There is no mouth on it.

330
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,840
You also did not see a mouth, to
be clear, but you definitely

331
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,200
heard the sound of chewing when
this man reached his hand to

332
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,040
where her other breast used to
be.

333
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,520
It could be anything.
Maybe she got a wood chipper

334
00:21:53,520 --> 00:22:00,240
there.
After that, the man crawls to

335
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,800
the back of the room, fumbling
and goes to another chamber

336
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,840
behind the one that you are in,
perhaps ending your

337
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:15,400
conversation.
However, the woman stands up and

338
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,520
gestures and says something, but
you are not quite clear what

339
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,040
she's saying and gestures for
you to go to the next room.

340
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,280
What could possibly have seen?
That I wonder who follows.

341
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,000
What was the question you asked
of this woman before the man

342
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,760
presented his hand to be bent?
Take us to the voice.

343
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,120
Can you take us to the voice?
My hand just darts to the

344
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:49,000
crucifix on my on my chest and
I'm just sweating, just cold

345
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,160
sweat.
A Methodist would probably not

346
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,360
have a full on crucifix, but
would probably have a cross

347
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:56,960
necklace.
Hey, whichever 1 kills more

348
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,600
vampires my man.
Gotcha.

349
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:02,040
Well actually, as you read,
Dracula is kind of about how

350
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,040
Protestant that stuff doesn't
work and Catholic stuff does.

351
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,280
Really.
Well, there you go.

352
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,200
Must be a crucifix.
Yeah, yeah.

353
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,880
You read Dracula, it's very much
that is very much about it is a

354
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:16,440
book about like, hey, we want to
look at these modern times like

355
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,280
blood transfusion is in there
even if they don't actually get

356
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,560
the science right.
It was like and state-of-the-art

357
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,920
stuff.
But then also you have to use

358
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,800
this very old timey religion,
you know anyway.

359
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,280
And also about how paprika is
like, really spicy.

360
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,800
That's also what Dracula is
about.

361
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,520
Obviously.
Reggie, how are you doing?

362
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:45,800
Reggie seems to be like he's
there but he seems to be lost in

363
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,640
his own head.
You're you're not sure what's

364
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,560
going on, though you do see him
occasionally pat his side where

365
00:23:53,560 --> 00:24:00,040
you know 1 of it both.
Do you follow the man into the

366
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,000
backroom or do you leave?
Oh, I thought we were following

367
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,600
Dishon Bay.
She actually does not leave the

368
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,400
room that you are in, she just
gestures towards the backroom.

369
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,360
Right.
She gestured for us to follow

370
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:14,000
him.
OK.

371
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,040
Yes.
Colin, will he?

372
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,880
He looks a little spaced out.
There's a manic Clint in his

373
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,240
eye.
Looks over his shoulder, head

374
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,040
upside down, not turning the way
you would expect, and says, well

375
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,000
are you coming?
Oh God you're doing the studio

376
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,440
shaft neck thing?
Oh man this is bad.

377
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,040
That joke is hilarious for like
7 people.

378
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,040
I promise.
Tentatively, I follow.

379
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,280
I follow.
Yeah, I've got the the picture

380
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,400
of studio shaft stuff if people
need to see it.

381
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,160
It's a compilation of everybody
doing the studio shaft head

382
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,160
thing.
OK.

383
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,920
That was not deliberate.
I'm just thinking Colin is

384
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,080
losing it's a little bit and
he's just not moving right.

385
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,560
The light is dim.
Oh God, oh God.

386
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,440
In this room, no windows or
doors allow sunlight in.

387
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,000
Only a little bit of light comes
from the room that you are just

388
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,920
in.
On the dirt floor, a shallow

389
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:16,680
oblong depression roughly 10
feet by 5 feet wide, is edged

390
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,000
with salty dirt, stained brown
and red, with blood, mostly

391
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,640
dried, some fresh.
More of it is being put on it

392
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,640
right now.
As Habti crawls around the

393
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,400
depression on his knees,
smearing blood around the

394
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:37,920
perimeter of this shape, you
realize that this thing that you

395
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,040
are looking at is roughly in the
shape of a mouth.

396
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:49,280
It is not an active mouth.
It does not open, does not say

397
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,920
anything to you, it does not
have millions of tongues.

398
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,040
Right now it's just an
impression in the dirt covered

399
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:02,720
in blood.
But you know without probably

400
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:10,360
needing to roll that this is
mouth related.

401
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:14,120
Yeah.
It's quite the interesting

402
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,880
piece, you can really see the
artist's pain in it.

403
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,520
Nobody understands what you
said, but.

404
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,120
Oh, I'm like, how about we sit
down for a bit, Mr. Kent?

405
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,720
Let's just take a little
breather.

406
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:38,480
Yeah, Colin sits.
You know what?

407
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,600
Your hand is still bleeding a
little bit.

408
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,120
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no.

409
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,960
I'm not sure what you're
suggesting here.

410
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:50,640
OK.
Thank God.

411
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,600
Good, it's.
Probably good.

412
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,840
I know what you're suggesting
and I'm glad nobody went for it.

413
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,120
Agreed.
Can I ask habti?

414
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,120
So is this where the voice comes
from?

415
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:16,200
The voice is everywhere, but it
is loudest here, and it gets

416
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,160
louder every day.
I translate.

417
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:27,000
Well, I think I speak for
everyone and when I say fuck he.

418
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:33,800
Is mostly ignoring you now as he
rides around in ecstatic,

419
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:41,840
painful worship, I.
Hate to say it, but this village

420
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:42,920
needs to be raised.
Oh.

421
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,200
God.
Don't translate that.

422
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,200
Don't translate that.
Well, we've set up a nice little

423
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,960
trap for Trammel if we leave it.
Yeah.

424
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,840
Will Leigh let us go, do you
think?

425
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,080
Tishombe is standing behind you
now.

426
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,720
So that's a no.
Oh, hey, hello.

427
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,840
She says something, you don't
quite understand what she says,

428
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:18,560
and on the ground you hear a
whispering, crying, pleading.

429
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:22,440
Do you see?
Do you see?

430
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,920
What's he say, Kearns?
I'm just fucking assume I'm

431
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,000
translating dude.
This is getting old.

432
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,400
Yeah.
Well.

433
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,360
Well, yeah, I, I see.
What are we supposed to see?

434
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,360
She says nothing.
I see it.

435
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,560
I do see, I, I see quite a lot.
Hey, we should leave, right?

436
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,400
We should definitely like, you
know, just sidebar, we should

437
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,200
definitely leave immediately,
right?

438
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,520
Somehow.
Well, I'm definitely not staying

439
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,840
the night.
Yes, probably an idiom.

440
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,080
I mean, you could walk out.
She is not positioned in a way

441
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,720
to stop you from leaving.
In fact, after she says what she

442
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,640
says to you, she returns to her
spot in the front chamber, sits

443
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:26,680
cross legged and just sort of
closes her eyes and you hear her

444
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,760
whispering something.
Hey, remember the last time we

445
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,960
heard someone whispering
something and then there was

446
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,080
explosions?
Yeah, no, you're right.

447
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,840
Let's.
Oh no.

448
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,600
That was a weird night.
That was 2 days ago.

449
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,480
Do you have any more dynamite?
Everybody has some dynamite.

450
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,440
Should we?
I don't.

451
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,840
Should we go?
Should we?

452
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,400
Should we explode this thing and
skedaddle?

453
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,360
Hey, I'm going to go check in on
our guides.

454
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,160
I think I still have a grenade.
I have a Zippo.

455
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:05,400
I have brass knuckles.
OK, I don't if we leave no, I

456
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,080
got nothing Team I'm.
Just to describe the area that

457
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,600
you're in, you've got this room
with apparently a proto mouth

458
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,080
with a blind, disfigured man
writhing around on the floor.

459
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:24,000
You've got your other room with
the village leader sitting there

460
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,440
whispering something and then
listening and then whispering

461
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,680
again.
Actually, some of the whispering

462
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,040
doesn't seem to be coming from
her mouth as you're looking at

463
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,680
it.
Or, well, maybe it's coming from

464
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:41,320
a mouth and there are just two
other village members just

465
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,920
standing at the door.
Hear me out.

466
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,440
We came here on camels.
What if we explode the thing,

467
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,640
get to the camels and run like
hell?

468
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,600
Well, about how many villages do
you think you could take in a

469
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,440
fight, Kurtz?
I know you got a mean right

470
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,560
hook, but to be fair, that's
true.

471
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,720
It's mean enough.
We don't have to take them, we

472
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:07,840
just have to escape them, which
how many of us have athletics

473
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,080
points left I.
Do all of them.

474
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,400
I've got athletics and fleeing.
I also have all of my athletic

475
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,040
points left.
Oh, I do too.

476
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:23,440
OK, so like, I guess blowing
this place up, booking it,

477
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,080
getting our camels, and going
off into the desert to find airs

478
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,600
isn't necessarily a impossible
option.

479
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,880
If you slowly talk yourself into
this.

480
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Yeah, no, I've, I've, I've
successfully talked myself into

481
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,720
this plan.
I kind of like this plan.

482
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,920
How's everybody else feeling?
Please, I'll voice your ideas if

483
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,360
you have them because this is my
only idea.

484
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,880
Well, it might be an interesting
way to wrap up the campaign.

485
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,880
Yeah, as you are torn apart by
the natives and Winston Rogers

486
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,360
never hears from you again, and
within a year or so all life on

487
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,440
earth is destroyed or driven mad
or something.

488
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,640
I don't know.
Tell you what the ultimate end

489
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,360
game of this cult is, but it's
not good.

490
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,560
So what you're saying is that my
idea would get us all killed?

491
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,400
I'm not saying that at all.
I am not saying that at all.

492
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,840
I, I, I think it is a very
interesting idea that you have.

493
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,280
Suggested God.
Interesting is the worst thing

494
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,560
you could say about an idea.
I'm not going to tell you if

495
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,560
it's good or bad unless you want
to tell me you're using a skill

496
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,360
to analyze if it's good or bad,
and I don't even know if there

497
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,600
is a skill that can analyze if
it's good or bad.

498
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,360
Yeah, sadly common sense is not
a skill.

499
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,080
Anthropology.
Hey, Game Master.

500
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,960
That's me.
Can I have a time bomb on me?

501
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:46,000
What the fuck?
You have dynamite which has

502
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,240
fuses.
Well yeah, but fuses are

503
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,760
notoriously short.
Yeah, I don't think you have.

504
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,440
I don't think you could really
have a time bomb.

505
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,360
That's a little much.
Dude, Reg.

506
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,200
Cause like time bombs are like a
very very specific thing that

507
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,560
you have to prepare in advance.
Reggie, don't you have the

508
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,000
blanket?
Yeah, but oh shit, the blanket

509
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,400
is our get out of jail free
card, you know?

510
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,320
What's the stability cost after
the roll again?

511
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,240
You can also spend health.
Yeah, I know.

512
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,280
I can also just spend health.
But but that spends permanent

513
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,280
health too, I think for health.
And if I spend the health, I

514
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,480
lose 2 of my Max Yeah.
But also, look, it's not gonna

515
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,320
draw any attention if you, you
know, cut off a finger.

516
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,200
You'd be fitting in if you did
that.

517
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,640
Maybe you'd be letting something
in?

518
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,760
Yeah.
OK.

519
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,560
The cost is 2 stability or four
health.

520
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:48,120
OK, so that it would take me to
blast it, but I could do it the

521
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,320
ten.
And is there any sort of bonus,

522
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,800
considering the fact that this
was pretty much set up to be

523
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,920
ready to go at a moment's
notice?

524
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,480
Explain to me what exactly
you're.

525
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,920
Doing so like.
Essentially what the plan was

526
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:04,880
was I would be able to unroll
this, finish the casting of it

527
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,239
and jump through the gate.
And where does the gate take you

528
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,760
again?
Back to Iron Point.

529
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,199
So at the end of the yeah.
Yeah, the the problem is that

530
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,880
that's all the way at back at
where we were, we would be

531
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,440
abandoning our guides outside of
the murder village.

532
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,280
This is their home turf, they
know how to get home.

533
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:30,040
And also I I still do want to
meet heirs at some point, but I

534
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,480
might not be able, we might not
be able to be picky right now.

535
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,840
I mean, again, you could use
this teleport thing.

536
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,480
There are risks involved in
that.

537
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,679
You could just throw down some
dynamite and start to run.

538
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,760
That is a thing that you could
do as well.

539
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,159
These are both valid choices.
You also could just walk out and

540
00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:53,360
not try to blow it up, I
suppose, and return to blow it

541
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,120
up later or do something else
with that.

542
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,200
I don't know if that's what you
want to do, but it doesn't

543
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,320
appear like anyone is trying to
stop you at the moment.

544
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,920
Colin would like to peacefully
walk out of the village.

545
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,200
All right, got more messages to
deliver.

546
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:10,680
Talk to you later.
Just leaves, shit sucks.

547
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:16,440
Hit the bricks, just walk away.
Camels are that way, Mr. Cain.

548
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,440
Wait, sorry, I'm supposed to
awkwardly leave every encounter?

549
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,680
Sorry about the smell.
What?

550
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,360
So are we blowing this thing up
and running or what's going on?

551
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:36,480
I don't know man I'm scared.
Should Renee sacrifice another

552
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:37,840
character?
Please tell me.

553
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,360
No.
We could just leave and come

554
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,360
back later and blow it up in the
dead of night.

555
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,040
Sure.
Well, that assumes these people

556
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,320
sleep.
That is true.

557
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,080
I'm just going to tell them,
yeah, something along the lines

558
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,240
of we are not finished with our
quest, something like that.

559
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,560
Our Princess is in another
castle.

560
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,760
There you go.
She doesn't understand what you

561
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:04,240
say, but watches you leave does
and they make no effort to stop

562
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:08,600
you.
Oh God, I forgot how hot it was.

563
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,640
I was about to note that you are
now returned to your heat track.

564
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,120
We should go to the Oasis.
Yep, Oasis.

565
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,720
Yes, that's where our guides
went.

566
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:24,640
It was to the north of the wall.
I believe so, yes, a little bit

567
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,600
to the north.
OK, let's do it.

568
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,720
Definitely want to meet up with
guides, that's for sure.

569
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,600
Yes, yes.
Many of the villagers are again

570
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,080
staring at you as you are moving
through.

571
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,400
There's not a big parade behind
you like there was when you

572
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,840
first coming in, but many are
still watching you and many of

573
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,120
them are following you.
As you reach the edge of the

574
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:50,800
village, most of them stop
following you, but at least half

575
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,120
a dozen are still watching you
from a distance as you make your

576
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,120
way to the Oasis.
I think they're gonna be

577
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,600
trouble.
Do I think there's gonna be

578
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:58,960
trouble?
Sense Trouble.

579
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,360
That's a skill we can use.
Can we roll a sense trouble?

580
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,800
Sure, yeah, you can make a sense
trouble roll difficulty 3,

581
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,320
except it's 4 for two of you
because your brains are blasted.

582
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,520
Probably for me too with the
heat check I forget where.

583
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,800
It's at and actually, yeah,
it'll be +2 with the heat,

584
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,960
actually.
So so plus one difficulty for

585
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,160
the heat, plus one difficulty
from the stability.

586
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,400
Five up for me.
Nope.

587
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,960
I failed miserably.
I rolled A5.

588
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,240
OK, nice.
Oh, and was this A6 tribute

589
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:32,600
Nathan as well?
No, I haven't rolled yet.

590
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,000
Correction, it was.
It was a. 6.

591
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,800
There we go.
Nathan and Colin, you both see

592
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:44,080
that they are following you
definitely and they are not.

593
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,440
They don't seem to be a problem
to you.

594
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,000
They don't seem to be
threatening towards you.

595
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,680
I mean, if they were to realize
that you were not the messengers

596
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,440
that you're mistakenly believed
to be, that might be a problem.

597
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:02,240
They are, however, a little less
chill with the three guides that

598
00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:05,800
are way to get the Oasis.
They're looking at them with

599
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,760
distrust and anger.
Maybe I should go back there and

600
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,800
explain how this is all a big
misunderstanding.

601
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,840
Maybe not though.
Maybe don't do that.

602
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,440
Yeah, it was a joke.
I think next time we're going

603
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,480
there, we are going with as much
firepower as we can muster.

604
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,880
I mean, so far this is as much
firepower as we can muster.

605
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,400
Yeah, what extra firepower do
you have?

606
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,640
I don't know, maybe ours has a
secret stash.

607
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,800
The cover of night.
I don't know, look.

608
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,680
At the very least, the mouth
isn't an immediate problem.

609
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,720
That's better than nothing.
It's a problem for future

610
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:45,280
investigators.
Malaku, Sasayi and Tessima are

611
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,560
glad to see that you've made it
out of the village.

612
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,760
And again, they were like, you
should not have gone there.

613
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,120
That is a terrible place.
I'm glad that you're OK.

614
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,520
Or is it time for us to go?
Could we go now?

615
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,480
Yes, yeah.
Yes.

616
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:00,680
Yeah.
Probably.

617
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:03,560
OK, well let's stay here for the
night.

618
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,160
Let's rest here at this Oasis
and then we could leave in the

619
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,280
early morning.
All right, I'll take first

620
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,800
watch.
The Oasis that's within, you

621
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,080
know, a stone throw from the
cursed village.

622
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,680
Yeah.
Do you want to travel during the

623
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,400
day during this heat?
Because I don't.

624
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,200
No, the cold is It gets cold at
night.

625
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,600
It's the other way around.
So you want to travel at night?

626
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,600
No, I mean you could try to
sneak back into the village at

627
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,240
night I guess.
Oh, thank you.

628
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,280
I want to not die, at least not
before I meet heirs.

629
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,520
I want to die gloriously.
Like I did.

630
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,440
No different.
I don't want to ask, but how?

631
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,440
Play to find out.
Oh my God.

632
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,400
But we are taking turns watching
right like we are.

633
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,080
There will be a watch and at the
first sign of trouble.

634
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,360
Not doing any of this?
You wake up and your guides are

635
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,080
slaughtered business.
Yeah.

636
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,360
I no thank.
You to be fair, that is exactly

637
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,160
what would have happened if
you'd like, stayed in the

638
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,640
village or something.
But you were actively looking

639
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,560
out for that, so.
And you're just gonna rest here

640
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,400
and then you're gonna leave.
Is that the plan?

641
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,440
Yeah.
Collin stays up late, keeping a

642
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:20,400
watch out for GM tricks.
You definitely see that there

643
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:25,840
are at least three villagers who
maintain a watch on your resting

644
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,560
spot, although as you're looking
around you definitely see a

645
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,320
different three a couple of
times, so either they're taking

646
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,760
shifts or there's more of them.
Well, I think that's a problem

647
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,600
for when we get some distance
between US and the village.

648
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,400
Daniel, I assume that I am
asleep.

649
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,440
I get the same dream.
The dreams you see now are just

650
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,960
visions of that mouth, that
proto mouth thing on the ground,

651
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:55,040
but you see the blood flowing
into it and it opening and

652
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,640
becoming one of these major
mouths that you have

653
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,200
encountered, except for the fact
that you you haven't really seen

654
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,280
one.
So your version of it looks

655
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,120
absolutely horrible, maybe even
worse than the real thing,

656
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,800
though I don't know if such a
thing exists.

657
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,520
My version of it probably has
like Hellfire coming out of it

658
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:16,960
and like demons with pitchforks.
Well, at least I'm not dreaming

659
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,160
of her anymore.
What's everybody's stability at?

660
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:27,920
No. 1. -2.
Minus. 4 High, 5 JB Stable Club.

661
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,680
The thing is, now you are the
two who've been more exposed to

662
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,960
like the cult shit.
Like you're cutting your hands

663
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:39,400
and are addicted to nectar, but
you're somehow stable still.

664
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,080
Because it just sort of makes
sense to us.

665
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:46,480
It just makes sense now.
And I have rolled poorly.

666
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,160
I'm going to say this, Colin, do
you sleep at all during the

667
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,440
night?
Like do we have shifts or you

668
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,680
wake up, you're awake all night?
I sure hope there's shifts, but

669
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,320
I'm taking the first watch.
OK, Yeah.

670
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,680
We take shifts.
OK, take shifts.

671
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,360
I figure that makes sense.
Colin.

672
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,120
When you dream it, the images
are unclear.

673
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,160
You can't really remember it
when you wake up.

674
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:13,680
But when you wake up, the hand
that you cut is really starting

675
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,440
to hurt.
There's streaks of red coming

676
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,400
from your wound.
And is it?

677
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,240
No, Never mind.
Oh, I know what this means.

678
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,480
Poison.
Yeah, it looks infected.

679
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,240
It kind of looks like it.
Well, no, no, that doesn't make

680
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:32,520
it.
It kind of looks like a mouth

681
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,280
for a second.
But back probably nothing.

682
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,720
Why would that be?
Pour nectar on it.

683
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,160
Don't do that.
We don't even have any.

684
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,720
I know I'm kind of, it's kind of
a shame you don't have any.

685
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,040
So what you're saying is it
could have worked, huh?

686
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:57,800
You're giving the GM ideas.
Wait, who got the big bite out

687
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,440
of their hand?
That was Colin.

688
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:00,760
That was Colin.
That's what I.

689
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,040
Think yeah, that was that was
Colin.

690
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,560
You got a bite out of your hand
and you cut your hand.

691
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,800
Oh boy, Colin, I was going to
spread out the potential mouth

692
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,840
signs but hmm seems to be
focusing on just one.

693
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,840
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
You wake up the next day and

694
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,800
your guides are like, OK, it's
time to get going.

695
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,080
Don't need to tell me twice.
The plan was to go to the ruins

696
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:22,640
now, is that correct?
Yep.

697
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,160
Yeah, look for the for the
hermit who lives there.

698
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,880
I'll be the hermit doesn't live
in the ruins.

699
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,720
He lives near the ruins maybe,
but the actual like ruined dig

700
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:34,520
site, nobody really lives there.
That's probably if you're the

701
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:35,640
best.
I heard there's lava.

702
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,920
Yeah, it's not like a Mario lava
level.

703
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,920
There's not just like lava, like
sitting around.

704
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:44,600
It's not.
It's not like that.

705
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,720
Wow.
The sun is very very hot but you

706
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:56,360
did have time to rest at an
Oasis which was good for you.

707
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,080
I believe your heat track should
now be at.

708
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:00,920
What do I want your heat track
to be at?

709
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,920
What do the rules say our heat
track should be?

710
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,520
I feel like that's contingent
upon us remembering what it was

711
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,320
last time.
I don't even know where I am at

712
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,840
any given moment like in real
life.

713
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,640
I mean, you're, you're having a
rough go of it.

714
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:15,360
You could be a mouth.
Let's say at this point you are

715
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,080
at heat track 1, which means
that you have no explicit

716
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:24,200
penalties except for if you want
to spend, you first have to rest

717
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,240
for 10 minutes before you can do
it.

718
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,640
I assume our stability doesn't
like regenerate does.

719
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:33,040
It no.
No, no, you make your way

720
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,880
towards the volcano and the dig
site.

721
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,600
What's it look like, GM?
The squat, dowel like sort of

722
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:46,880
mountain is only about 150 feet
above the plane.

723
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:52,800
It's a stretched out Oval
roughly 2 miles by one mile, and

724
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,600
the southwest side of the
mountain boasts impressive salt

725
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,520
canyons caused by slow erosion
over the centuries.

726
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,360
At the top of the mountain is a
very broad crater, but it's an

727
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,120
old one.
If you have geology, I could

728
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,440
tell you about it.
I have geology.

729
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,160
OK.
As you look down on it, so

730
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,440
there's a very old crater.
And then you also see that to a

731
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:19,560
little bit southwest of the
actual crater, there is a much

732
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,600
smaller, more recent crater that
seems like like a much more

733
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,080
recent eruption.
That'll be where the dig site is

734
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,320
then.
Would you like to make your way

735
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,080
towards it?
What do you think, team?

736
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,280
Sure.
As you are going towards it, you

737
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,480
explain a little bit more that
eruptions of this type, which

738
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,680
are called fariatics subarial.
I don't know if you get specific

739
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:41,640
about those terms.
I don't.

740
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,440
I don't know if that's your sort
of deal, but this is when magma

741
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,040
from below the Earth's surface
comes in contact with

742
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:52,400
underground water and the
resulting steam throws Earth and

743
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,600
rock into the air and then it
collapses in on itself to make a

744
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,400
crater.
If this is a more temperate

745
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,400
environment that usually becomes
lakes in this desert, it's just

746
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:02,800
going to be a crater.
Cool.

747
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,840
How do we look for signs of
human habitation?

748
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,600
Well, the Cairn that's set up
right outside the crater's walls

749
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,960
is the first thing you notice.
What's a Cairn again?

750
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,160
A grave marker.
Oh, word up words on it.

751
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,480
No, it is unlabeled.
Cairn seemed to have been

752
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,520
assembled hastily.
Well, that makes sense.

753
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,120
A lot of people died in this
crater.

754
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,280
Well, I guess we've got to find
out who's buried under there.

755
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,600
I'll grab a shovel.
But do we?

756
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,160
Should we?
If you would like to dig up

757
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,400
those people.
No, I don't think we.

758
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,600
I don't think we need to.
You could also just go into the

759
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,240
crater itself to see where the
dig site was.

760
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,680
That feels like the more
immediate option to me.

761
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,880
But if you want to desecrate
this Karen, go right ahead.

762
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,640
Yeah, I just had that.
See where we were sitting with

763
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,720
grave robbing now?
Not.

764
00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:52,840
We're not cool with grave
robbing.

765
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,920
Not.
Cool with grave robbing

766
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,040
personally, that's just.
That's good.

767
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,080
Your guides would not have been
fond of it, so that's probably a

768
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,200
good decision.
All right, we'll get there.

769
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,040
Hopefully we won't.
All right.

770
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,160
Who said it?
It was grave borrowing.

771
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,160
Yes, grave borrowing.
All right, let's go.

772
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,120
Let's go into the crater.
All right, you could probably

773
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,280
find something here, but it's
gonna take you a while to

774
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,160
search.
I'm gonna tell you, it's gonna

775
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,640
work like this.
If you spend some time digging

776
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,840
here, you will make progress to
finding clues here.

777
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,160
However, that will also advance
the heat for you.

778
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,840
If you would like, you could
just try to find shade and drink

779
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,000
some water.
Your heat will not advance.

780
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,240
However, it will take longer to
find any clues here.

781
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,000
I was going to ask, did we bring
any sort of tents or anything?

782
00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:41,160
Could I use preparedness for
that even?

783
00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:44,240
You, there are, you have small
tents that you brought, you have

784
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:46,560
some tents that you brought with
you that you were using to

785
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,360
mostly actually to stay away
from the, the cold at night that

786
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,480
your, your guides brought that
and you have some, I'm going to

787
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,520
say, you know, we weren't
explicit about it.

788
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,280
You said you were going to an
archaeological dig.

789
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,720
They brought some shovels.
Oh, you never know when you're

790
00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:02,720
going to need a shovel.
Yeah, always keeping on me.

791
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,400
How about explosives?
That's not a great way to find

792
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,520
evidence.
Good way to dig.

793
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,160
Not when it comes to
archaeology.

794
00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:14,680
Yeah, fair.
Evidence.

795
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,480
Collection.
Well, I can't see shit.

796
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,040
So tell me who is going to dig
and what skills, if any, you are

797
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,280
going to use.
You don't need to use a skill,

798
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:23,840
you just say I'm fucking
digging.

799
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,720
Cullen Kane with evidence
collection that we don't need to

800
00:48:27,720 --> 00:48:30,160
find any artifacts or anything.
We're looking for stuff that

801
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:31,520
happened.
Gotcha.

802
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:35,480
Can we kind of make sure Colin
stays in the shade and Kearns

803
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,720
digs?
I don't want to advance whatever

804
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:43,360
the fuck is happening to Colin.
Any person it sounds like.

805
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,160
Colin wants to dig, though.
Do you want to dig?

806
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,320
Well, not so much digging as
surveying the area, so it looks

807
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,440
a lot less stressful to you
guys.

808
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,680
OK.
OK, so I'm going in there with

809
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,760
fucking athletics.
OK, you don't need to make a

810
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,920
role for that, just that's the
skill you're using.

811
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,760
That's fine.
Anybody else digging?

812
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,360
You know what?
Yeah, Reggie's gonna dig, and

813
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,960
Reg is going to use archaeology.
Makes sense.

814
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,640
Makes sense?
Oh, can we get a shot of

815
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:15,920
curtains getting super sweaty
and like tossing hair, like wet

816
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,280
hair off of his face?
It's kind of like a slow motion

817
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,400
Sung glistening off of his skin.
It fits the budget.

818
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,360
We can get whatever shot you
want, baby.

819
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,360
Special effects budgets are
unlimited.

820
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,880
This one's for the gooners.
That's not.

821
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:38,000
Yeah, I'm a I'm a fan fiction
writer slash enjoyer.

822
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:39,720
See what I did there?
Slash.

823
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,440
Yeah.
Oh, yes, I'm gonna go ham on

824
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,160
this, baby.
I'm gonna go ham on this.

825
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:48,280
No, but I, I just wanted like a
little, a little eye candy

826
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,120
little shot of Kearns just
getting super sweaty and just

827
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:56,040
getting in there with the shovel
and tossing sweat drenched hairs

828
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,640
off of his face.
And there's slow motion.

829
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,640
The sun is glistening off of his
back and it's like there's like

830
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,680
twinkle in the air.
So I kind of missed out.

831
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,960
Pan over to Colin.
Like what's his face in Pulp

832
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:06,720
Fiction?
Huh.

833
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,120
Where is this?
What about you JB?

834
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,240
Are you digging?
Yeah, I've got a a couple of

835
00:50:14,240 --> 00:50:16,840
applicable skills.
So, archaeology.

836
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,080
Great, three people digging.
The three people who are digging

837
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:24,280
now note Note that you are heat
2 joy, which means difficulty of

838
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:28,160
contests is increased by 1.
So it's pretty clear this dig

839
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,280
site was Ground Zero for the
eruption.

840
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,120
There's fragments of the tools
that are recovered.

841
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,120
In fact, you found a little bit
of them even before you arrived

842
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,720
at the site.
They had been blasted so far

843
00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:42,280
away.
In addition to the tools though,

844
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:46,240
how however you begin to find
body fragments of some of these

845
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,680
I'll fated workers in the
immediate area of the crater,

846
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,640
and if you have forensics
that'll be the person who finds

847
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:53,960
them I think.
Good.

848
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:55,360
Question.
I have forensics.

849
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,840
Not.
IJB the first one to find

850
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,360
somebody parts.
Woo, wait.

851
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:04,960
That we said no.
Great robbing JB.

852
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:10,520
As you're looking at the body
parts, you could rule out signs

853
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,840
of death from causes other than
standing at Ground Zero of a

854
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,000
sudden volcanic eruption.
I don't think you were thinking

855
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,560
that this volcanic eruption was
actually cover up for something

856
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,440
else, but now you're sure that
it was.

857
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,200
No, it was a seems like it was
an eruption that killed these

858
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,120
people.
They were not like gnawed on or

859
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,800
shot or tortured prior to their
obvious cause of death.

860
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,920
Tracks.
Are they like in Pompeii?

861
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,160
No, not, not.
They're not not turned into dust

862
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,880
on the walls or because most
things collapse, Yeah.

863
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,120
Or the.
Statue thing happens for

864
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:49,520
pyroclastic flows specifically,
which are a very specific type

865
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,400
of volcanic eruption that I
don't know the details off off

866
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,160
the top of my head, but they're
very fast and super dangerous.

867
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:56,840
This was a different sort of
eruption.

868
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,240
This was the the that word I
said earlier.

869
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,480
Yeah, actually Steam and Foretic
sub aerial.

870
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,160
So we don't find like a
mummified statue of a guy just

871
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,280
rubbing one out before the
apocalypse.

872
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,320
No.
Look, it's airs.

873
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:16,360
Hey.
You do find fragments of the

874
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:21,120
ancient structure as well,
however it's mostly destroyed

875
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,360
too.
Archaeologists are really the

876
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,320
ones to be finding this.
It does seem to be with your

877
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,840
knowledge of history and
anthropology, that this does

878
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,240
seem to be consistent with
ancient construction found in

879
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:37,160
other African sites.
You think for a moment you find

880
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,320
like those runes, those
protective runes that you had at

881
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,080
one point, but they're all sort
of cracked and destroyed.

882
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,680
None of them seem to be in
working order.

883
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,120
Well, that's a shame.
Yeah, any of you have biology?

884
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:50,880
You know what?
No, I'm just going to say this

885
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,440
because this person hasn't found
anything yet.

886
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,800
Yet.
Reggie, you As you are digging

887
00:52:56,120 --> 00:53:02,120
deeper, you find what seemed to
be fossilized teeth.

888
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,840
Little ones.
Well, they're not consistent

889
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,880
with animals in this area.
They're not human teeth.

890
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,480
Are they very pointy?
They are very pointy.

891
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,040
Vampires.
As you're looking at, you're

892
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,640
realizing.
As you dig deeper, you find that

893
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:27,400
these are the remains of a
fossilized a mouth.

894
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,720
You remember Bartolo Acuna said
that they found a statue or a

895
00:53:31,720 --> 00:53:34,680
relief of a mouth built into the
floor.

896
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:39,600
You find the remains of that.
But this is not a a statue.

897
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:46,520
This is a fossil.
This thing was once living, but

898
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:50,160
it was long, long dead when the
dig found it.

899
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,580
This is actually good news.
Mm.

900
00:53:54,580 --> 00:54:00,320
Hmm, because it means that it's
been dead for at least thousands

901
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,040
of years before they dug it up,
which means these mouse have

902
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,880
been here before and they have
been destroyed before.

903
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:13,560
We take those.
We decisively take those.

904
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,320
All right, I guess I can fit a
couple in the suitcase.

905
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:21,000
Regain 2 stability.
Yay.

906
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:25,080
What, everybody?
Everybody, everybody get 2

907
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,080
stability back.
You get stability.

908
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,920
This is zero.
I mean, here's the thing, man,

909
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,720
you guys came here to like
investigate what's going on with

910
00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:40,440
the mouths and the thing you
found is like doesn't look like

911
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:44,320
there's any mouths here.
Mouths are long gone or maybe

912
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,200
coming soon, but the mouths are
gone.

913
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,400
I don't.
Finding nothing is not the most

914
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,560
exciting thing in the world.
No, no.

915
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,680
But this is great.
But we didn't find nothing.

916
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,400
We found something.
Yeah.

917
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,920
There was there was a lady still
with the.

918
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,080
With the boob mouth.
Yeah, yes, with the boob mouth.

919
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,400
Yeah, I probably should have
offered you the stability after

920
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,760
you had a good night's sleep,
but I'll just give it to you

921
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,840
right now.
And Reg is also going to pocket

922
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,960
some of those.
Just to have some fossilized

923
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,320
teeth, yeah.
You know, for science.

924
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,160
Yeah, exactly.
Also another thing I was going

925
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,000
to mention when you had
mentioned the protective runes,

926
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:30,920
as Reg finds those, he's going
to try and quickly sketch them

927
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,400
out on a piece of paper so that
like he has an idea.

928
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,640
Of how they look with your cult
skill and sort of understanding

929
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:43,440
it, it seems like these were put
around the mouth to keep its

930
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,400
influence in.
These must have been made by

931
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,440
whoever stopped the mouth in the
1st place to seal it away.

932
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:57,120
And does it seem like I have
found enough of those runes to

933
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:01,640
like make the full set of them?
You could try to create one with

934
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,560
stone, but you would need to
craft it.

935
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:08,600
That's kind of where I'm going,
but just I'm basically so Red

936
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,040
basically found enough that he
could, with the right skill

937
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,440
spend obviously recreate.
Yes, Pat.

938
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,440
Do you have craft Reg?
Not yet.

939
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,440
Well, if you need a sooner, I
still have one point.

940
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,360
All right, that seems to be
everything that you could find.

941
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:28,720
Here no errors, no errors, no
signs of errors.

942
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,680
No specific signs of errors
though.

943
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,800
You did hear that he was in some
canyons near here maybe?

944
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:37,880
Cool canyons.
I bet they got shade.

945
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,160
Do do you recall this?
We, we had a discussion about

946
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:41,240
this.
Maybe you don't remember this,

947
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,880
but.
Vaguely, and there are some salt

948
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,040
canyons nearby.
Those are the canyons.

949
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,160
That seems like as good a place
to start looking for him as any.

950
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,680
All right, it took most of the
day to do the digging.

951
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,040
Here you have another night of
rest, and then you're gonna

952
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,960
travel to the salt canyons.
Does it appear we still have our

953
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,280
tail from Dalal?
You do not.

954
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,600
Yeah, that's good.
Means we don't have to spend the

955
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:05,840
night.
That's honesty.

956
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,200
Are you lying to me, Dan?
You'll never know.

957
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,320
No, you don't appear to be being
followed anymore.

958
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,040
This is pretty far away.
You know what?

959
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,840
It seems like they have.
They don't like coming here.

960
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:20,480
That makes sense, and now we
have at least a partial theory

961
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,880
as to why this is proof that
their God can die.

962
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:26,360
Which seems to still be talking
to them.

963
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,080
Well, yeah, the ruins are gone.
So it got out on the wind.

964
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,600
Agony on the wind, it all makes
sense, don't worry about it.

965
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,360
Voices from beyond the grave
aren't the the wildest thing out

966
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,040
there.
Yeah, didn't you have a guy like

967
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:38,920
that?
We do.

968
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,160
Do you guys want to do like a
campfire card maybe?

969
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:41,920
Oh.
Yeah.

970
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,040
I mean, you are feeling better,
like this is a night that you're

971
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,720
all feeling a little bit better.
So yeah, I'm, I'm down for

972
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,320
campfire, yeah.
What crime have you committed

973
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,160
and did you experience any
consequences for it?

974
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,920
Oh, I know exactly how this gets
brought up, how we're talking

975
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:02,080
about grave robbing.
I'm the gay master so I'm a step

976
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,080
back.
Chat a bugs yourselves.

977
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,400
You don't want to tell us which
crime you committed and whether

978
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,840
you face repercussions for it.
You know, 5th Amendment.

979
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,360
Amendment doesn't apply in
Ethiopia.

980
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,920
Yeah, but I'm in the United
States.

981
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,520
You're in Ethiopia, I'm in
America.

982
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,880
JB definitely approaches this
with the I can't do Major

983
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,400
Crimes.
I once accidentally borrowed a

984
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,480
book from the library for too
long and I can never go back

985
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,080
there now.
Not because they banned me or

986
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,760
anything I just I don't want I
just feel guilty.

987
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:49,000
Me and Reds have definitely
never done any crimes and well

988
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:50,800
don't look at his bank account
too close.

989
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:58,480
Those were.
All. 100% legal gains from my

990
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,120
time in the military.
Well, yeah, move some numbers

991
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:07,080
around and of course it's legal.
Because the military is known to

992
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,840
care for its constituents.
Very funny.

993
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:14,040
I don't think I've committed
anything that was illegal at the

994
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,120
time.
Or crime still count.

995
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:20,840
The thing is, Mr. Killsworth, it
wasn't a crime at the time.

996
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:23,680
I don't feel morally good about
it.

997
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:30,600
I'm most likely not going to end
up in heaven for the things I've

998
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:34,440
done anyway.
I go quiet.

999
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:39,840
Everybody goes quiet, Yeah.
Like the best JB had to offer

1000
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:45,000
here was an overdue library book
and so this kind of like shuts

1001
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,600
him the fuck up.
I mean, you've committed crimes

1002
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,200
since you've joined the team, I
guess, yeah.

1003
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,080
Those are the crimes if it's
part of investigations.

1004
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:59,480
Yeah, what about that GP?
Okay, but that was fun.

1005
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,160
Is it a crime if you're?
And the letter.

1006
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,280
Okay, that was a crime.
Yeah, yeah.

1007
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,080
All right.
Can you really consider it a

1008
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,320
crime though?
But it's not a crime when you do

1009
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,280
it to Italian fascists, right?
Yeah, I.

1010
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,480
Believe that was the logic at
the time, yes.

1011
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:21,360
Yes, it was.
And I feel like with how all of

1012
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,840
us came together and how well
the letter turned out, it's more

1013
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,320
art than crime.
Exactly.

1014
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,920
They'll put it in a museum if
all those works out well.

1015
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,960
I don't know, I I could maybe
regale you guys with like a

1016
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,200
story of a certain combat
encounter where it was me

1017
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:42,040
against two enemy plans and how
I made them crash into a

1018
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,760
mountain.
Is it a true story?

1019
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,360
As true as you want it to be.
Never let the truth get in the

1020
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,600
way of a good story.
There you go, Mr. Writer over

1021
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,920
here has a better tongue for it
than than I.

1022
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,520
Colin gives JB a quick rundown
on shielding your assets.

1023
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,160
You see, it's not illegal
because you've got money.

1024
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,120
It's.
Just shit.

1025
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:19,080
OK, after your chat about
crimes, even if that might have

1026
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:24,920
been a little bit stressful and
war actions, you all have

1027
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:29,880
dreamless sleep for the first
time in a while probably.

1028
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:32,640
That's a nice change of pace.
Nice.

1029
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,760
Yeah, Yes.
Some of those warding rooms

1030
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,280
might still be working.
Probably related to the fact you

1031
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:42,920
saw like this destroyed mouth.
However, your heat index is

1032
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,120
going to go up.
Increase your heat score to

1033
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:51,800
three as you continue to travel.
Your quest to find airs is like

1034
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,680
looking for a needle in a
haystack.

1035
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,000
You have a vague idea that he's
in canyons, but there are

1036
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:02,800
several canyons, and scouring
them initially is disheartening

1037
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,880
to say the least.
Your guides at some point

1038
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,840
suggest that this man, if he
ever existed, is not here.

1039
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:17,720
But eventually you find a small
cave built into the side.

1040
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:21,880
Well, not built into the side,
but actually looks like it was

1041
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,640
carved out of the side of one of
the canyons.

1042
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,200
What kind of rock is it?
GMI.

1043
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,800
Don't know man, it's fucking
rock.

1044
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,440
I didn't figure that out.
That's not a good answer.

1045
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,040
Well.
They're salt canyons, right?

1046
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,200
Yeah, I'm wondering because I'm
thinking about how much time

1047
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,120
this supposed to take it.
It definitely probably took a

1048
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:45,920
long time.
Yeah.

1049
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,600
Although it looks like The Cave
was already there, it was just

1050
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,120
sort of dugout and expanded.
Oh, there you go.

1051
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:59,880
And sitting inside is a man, Mr.
Ayers, I presume I no need to

1052
01:02:59,960 --> 01:03:07,520
say anything.
He is sitting in a Lotus

1053
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:17,600
position and he is a white
American, which definitely, you

1054
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:21,360
know, makes him stand out
amongst most of the dark skinned

1055
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,160
people that you have seen here.
Yeah, I think we found errors.

1056
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:28,720
Yep.
I mean, probably tan does all

1057
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:33,000
hell, but.
He is deeply tan and profoundly

1058
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,560
lean.
He's not starving, but his ribs

1059
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:40,840
and bone are sort of manifest
beneath his skin.

1060
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:45,520
But he doesn't look, you know,
unhealthy necessarily.

1061
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:54,000
His hair and beard are unkempt
and uncut and have been so for

1062
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,840
many years.
He is wearing no clothing

1063
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,400
whatsoever.
You notice his feet and hands

1064
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,080
are deeply calloused.
You know his skin is like a

1065
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,880
leather.
Although I suppose I'm missing

1066
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:11,240
the most important thing, which
is in the direct center of his

1067
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:17,360
belly is a calcified mouth in
full view of any who approach.

1068
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,720
It's half open and has a
lopsided sneer of unwholesome

1069
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,720
lips and teeth turned chalk
dust.

1070
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:30,480
It is completely still entirely
inanimate.

1071
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:37,840
However, you do need to make a
three-point stability test when

1072
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,800
you see it.
Difficulty for that.

1073
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,840
I passed.
I did.

1074
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,920
Oh wait, would.
This be increased by the heat.

1075
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:54,480
It would be increased by the
heat, yes.

1076
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,840
Actually, yes it would be.
It's a difficulty 5.

1077
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,880
I rolled 1.
I rolled 2.

1078
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:04,440
So how much did you say
everybody?

1079
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,880
Lost negatives.
It's a 3 point loss if you fat.

1080
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,760
I'm at 0.
You're shaking.

1081
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,200
Same ZS.
I am still with me.

1082
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:18,920
This is considered a mythos
shock, so because you've re

1083
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:23,600
shaken over there, JBI do need
you to lose a sanity point.

1084
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,040
The other two have already lost
their sanity point for this

1085
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,120
adventure, so they do not lose
an additional sanity point.

1086
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,680
Is that a permanent sanity
point?

1087
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:38,040
Yes, there's like.
My maximum sanity is now 6. 4

1088
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,560
Some people are sitting at 1, is
that right one?

1089
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,520
Yep.
I feel so bad with the nine over

1090
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:49,880
here.
You'll get there.

1091
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:56,200
You're with the right crowd.
He does look up at you and he

1092
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:04,320
nods slightly and then just sort
of closes his eyes again and

1093
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,760
goes back to whatever meditation
he was doing.

1094
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,560
I know where to spend my last
point of languages ASL.

1095
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:15,400
That's OK, we brought this full
size whiteboard.

1096
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:17,840
It was a challenge, but it was
worth it.

1097
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:22,040
I'm assuming Mr. Ryder here has
some notebooks.

1098
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:23,200
Hey.
I do.

1099
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,360
I have several.
I have quite a bit of pencil and

1100
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:29,880
paper to use he.
Does not know who you are.

1101
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,240
Well, I guess we better
introduce ourselves.

1102
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,000
Hi, I'm.
I'm JB Falk.

1103
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:39,960
You might have read some of my
books, and these are my friends

1104
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,520
and we're trying to prevent the
end of the world.

1105
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,600
He gives you a small nod to
that.

1106
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:52,240
Actually.
He shakes his head.

1107
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,560
When you say, perhaps you've
read some of my books.

1108
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:58,640
OK, Yeah.
All right.

1109
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:00,080
Fair enough.
I deserve that.

1110
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:17,600
Thanks for listening.
Reginald Kildworth was played by

1111
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:19,720
Damien.
JB Falk was Nathan.

1112
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:23,320
Frank Kearns was Renee.
I was the game master.

1113
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,560
Daniel Fernandez.
That's that's my name.

1114
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,920
And Colin Kane was played by
Russell, who is also our

1115
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,680
producer who mixed, mastered and
mused the episode.

1116
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,000
Our album artist by Trinity the
Tea Time Witch.

1117
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:42,280
Our main theme is by Claire LW
on SoundCloud.

1118
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:48,240
We have a website, Discord, and
Patreon and you can find all of

1119
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,760
that in our show notes if you're
so inclined.

1120
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,640
Hey Daniel, that's me and Nathan
have old podcasts you could

1121
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:57,760
check out.
Rapid Story and Forgotten Era is

1122
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:59,720
a King of Hearts podcast,
respectively.

1123
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:04,480
Damien has a Twitch channel at
twitch.tv/magical Hack, and

1124
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,360
Renee has a Deviant Art page
where she puts up some paintings

1125
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,600
she's done inspired by the
events of the show.

01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:16,399
Anyway, thanks for listening and
until next time, stay dreadful.

1127
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,800
Bye.
I hope that the ice cream truck

1128
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,000
is not picking up on my thing
here.

1129
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:24,560
No.
Oh.

1130
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,319
I don't.
Why is it so loud?

1131
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,200
Fucking ice.
I hate the ice cream truck.

1132
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,040
I hate him so much.
He is my nemesis.

1133
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,800
Damn, I could really go for some
ice cream, actually.

1134
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,680
Well, he's definitely out there.
