warnings.
Last time on Eternal Lies, our

5
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,760
investigators made contact with
the leadership of the village of

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,840
Dowell, convincing their chief,
the cruel to Shombei that Colin

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,600
was the messenger she was
waiting for.

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,560
Discovering that she is hiding a
small mouth on her body and is

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,240
trying to bring a full-fledged
mouth from the ground, the

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,400
investigators leave for now and
make their way to the volcanic

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,680
Dixite.
There they finally meet the

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,640
target of their hunt, George
Ayres, former cultist and host

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,640
to a dormant mouth.
Happy secrets day everyone.

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,320
The die is cast, the pact is
sealed, and May God have mercy

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,960
on our souls.
It's Daniel's dread tails.

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,920
Yeah.
Tammy, Mark.

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,480
Yeah.
Does somebody want to remind me

18
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,080
what's going on?
Well, the last thing that

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:21,520
happened was we walked into a
cave and we found Erds and I

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,840
said hi, I introduced us and I
said we're trying to save the

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,080
world or something along those
lines.

22
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:33,040
And then the episode ended and
everyone clapped.

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,800
Yeah, he turned around.
He was profoundly lean, unkempt,

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,200
naked as the day he was born,
with a calcified mouth in his

25
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,080
belly.
You know, as you do, yeah.

26
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Doesn't everybody have a
calcified mouth on their belly I

27
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,600
guess.
That's technically what a belly

28
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,560
button is.
Yeah, yeah.

29
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,600
Be your mouth.
Oh my God, the symbolism of it.

30
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,680
I need a minute.
Daniel has a fucking.

31
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:08,160
Monster.
So what do you do?

32
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,120
We are the Americans.
I mean, I don't, I don't say

33
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,480
that.
I mean, I say that as your game

34
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,760
master.
Ayers does not say anything.

35
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,560
Do you speak English?
Yes, he speaks English.

36
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,080
I am doing hand gestures as I do
this that do not say English or

37
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,720
speaking or anything.
Yes, we know he speaks English.

38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,120
What Colin?
I think Russell the Canadian is

39
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,080
offending somebody here.
He nods.

40
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,040
All right, take it away, JB.
Oh, cool.

41
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,480
Of course I get out of a pen and
a notebook.

42
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,280
Well, Sir, we'd like to talk to
you.

43
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,320
I understand you're not really
speaking right now, but can you

44
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,400
still communicate through the
written word?

45
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,520
He.
Opens his mouth for a second.

46
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Which one?
His mouth, not the one that was

47
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,080
added to him.
I'm sorry I had to ask.

48
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,240
Yes, I understand, and the words
come out after some time.

49
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,120
It takes him some time to make a
noise.

50
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,800
He's probably super high pitched
too.

51
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,120
Yeah, it seems like it's more
the physical apparatus of his

52
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,160
throat and vocal cords are
straining at the challenge.

53
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:42,560
Conversation out loud or written
requires the same mental effort.

54
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,520
Well, we can save our ink, I
guess.

55
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:51,360
Fair enough, we'll try and keep
things short for your sake then.

56
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,480
Is he when he's speaking?
Like, is his mouse aligned with

57
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,560
the sounds that he's making?
Yes, yeah.

58
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,480
It's not some sort of weird
other sound coming out of like

59
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,080
his his belly mouth or anything
like that.

60
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,360
It this does appear that this is
a man who maybe has not spoken

61
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,840
in a while, but this is
consistent with what people look

62
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,960
like when they're speaking, if
that makes sense.

63
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,040
I've seen this before.
Meanwhile, as as we're starting

64
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,800
to talk to this man, Kearns, who
is at -3 stability is mouth

65
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,440
agape, staring at this man's
stomach in utter shock.

66
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,680
Understandable.
Frankly, would this be the first

67
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,680
mouth that Kearns has seen?
I've seen a sketch.

68
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,520
Right.
Of a stone one.

69
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Fragments at the dig site.
Yeah.

70
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,120
I'm not the only one seeing
this, am I?

71
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,200
You get used.
Do you?

72
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,840
Shockingly, yes.
I'm going to say this, he hasn't

73
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:54,080
talked to anybody for a while
and he's looking like he's maybe

74
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,360
getting irritated with the fact
that you're not talking.

75
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,120
To I'm trying.
Maybe you could just leave him

76
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,280
alone?
What the hell happened, man?

77
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,200
Seems like he's got a place to
start as any we know of that.

78
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,960
You were connected to a man
named Cavaria.

79
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,640
What happened?
I was part of that man's cult.

80
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:26,400
This is evidence of this.
I realized too late the cost.

81
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,640
Well, they're picking up steam.
We're trying to stop them.

82
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,640
Got any tips, tips, tricks,
cheat codes?

83
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,760
I don't think the concept of a
cheat code has been invented

84
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:39,840
yet.
No, not yet.

85
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:46,240
But like, there's stuff
happening and dial all I shudder

86
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,040
visibly.
They're trying to create a new

87
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,120
mouth there.
And kind of succeeding by the

88
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,800
sounds of it.
Yeah.

89
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,160
God mutilating themselves and
mutilating children.

90
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,560
How do we stop this fucking
thing?

91
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:08,640
I only know what worked for me.
They are rituals of self denial,

92
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,600
but a man can only choose to do
that themselves.

93
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,920
Well, where do you have any idea
where the Papa mouth would be?

94
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,960
Who's JB?
What's going on with Lou's

95
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:27,480
disco?
Those were other cells Cavaria

96
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:34,760
was expanding and I assume he is
dead now.

97
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:39,920
Yeah, maybe.
Is Edgar OK?

98
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,040
Right job fuck.
Right.

99
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,760
Job was the one of the students
at UCLA.

100
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,640
He was at the Barn in 24.
If you recall he also is in the

101
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,680
Savannah is Insane asylum.
He is currently in Savannah, GA.

102
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,880
He's alive.
Let's let's leave out the rest

103
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,320
of it, shall we?
Is he still involved?

104
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,800
No.
Yes, I recall it sounded like he

105
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,200
wanted to be.
Did it?

106
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,680
He seemed to speak fondly of his
time in the cult.

107
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:19,400
These gentlemen quite handily
crippled the cell and Malta not

108
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:25,760
without its costs.
I do not know about the current

109
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:31,000
cult's activities.
I have been here for a long

110
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,480
time.
All I can say now is I am very

111
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,720
glad that you have told me that
Edgar Job is OK.

112
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:50,120
He was my friend.
I did not like the way Cavaria

113
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:56,040
looked at him.
He had plans for Edgar.

114
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,960
Edgar.
There was something about him.

115
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:07,840
As Ayers is talking about his
friend and really just talking

116
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,320
for the first time in quite some
time, you notice for just a

117
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,120
moment, the mouth on his stomach
moves just slightly.

118
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Oh.
Shit.

119
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,760
He feels it and takes a very
deep breath and closes his eyes.

120
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,240
Can Renee suggest something?
Renee can do all sorts of

121
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,000
things.
Now Miss Morgan mentioned her

122
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,159
suspicions.
She had some suspicions about

123
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,720
cavalry.
God, I wish you were here.

124
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,360
I just don't have the the
knowledge for this.

125
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,919
What sort of plans did he have
for job?

126
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:50,280
I don't know.
He was a liar.

127
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,280
Much of what he said about the
being he worshipped was lies.

128
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,080
That being Golgora Ather, the
Fisher from beyond.

129
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,160
Not gold Gora.
Oh, right, right, my mistake.

130
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:11,680
The Fisher is not what he made
us think.

131
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,880
The liar from beyond is a
mystery.

132
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:23,280
At one point I thought I could
understand, but it's so covered

133
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:31,120
in lies I don't know.
I suspect the thing Akavaria

134
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:37,040
worshipped was not the liar.
The black man, then.

135
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,040
The what?
No.

136
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,680
That was another one of the
names we got.

137
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,760
Yeah, I'm not just saying weird.
Stuff Right, right, right,

138
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,840
right, right.
Yep, and I'm kind of saying all

139
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,040
these names to see if it
provokes a response in the mouth

140
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,080
as.
He's getting bored, more

141
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,960
emotional talking about this
lie.

142
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,480
You do see that a little bit of
color is coming back into the

143
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,880
mouth that is on his stomach as
well.

144
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,840
We're.
Going to kill us Occultus yet?

145
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,480
And yes, just just as it is,
Kearns's hand is creeping closer

146
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:13,160
and closer to his shotgun.
I do not know who it was that

147
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,760
the Cavaria worshipped.
I suspect that everything he

148
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,920
said was a lie.
There was something, a deeper

149
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,440
truth.
I don't know what he was hiding.

150
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:34,400
He was preparing something, some
great ritual, a sacrifice of.

151
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,160
Who?
I don't know.

152
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,880
Well, from what we've learned
about these mouths, it's either

153
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,480
quantity or quality.
What something he cared about?

154
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,400
Or just a hell of a lot of
people.

155
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,360
Right.
The sacrifice wasn't for the

156
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:55,480
mouths.
He collapses a little bit on the

157
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:02,560
ground and he puts his hand on
his belly as he feels the thing

158
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,280
and you hear the sound of his
flesh beginning to move.

159
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,440
You would think that you would
see a look of worry on Ayers's

160
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,840
face.
Instead, the look that you see

161
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,640
on his face is 1 of serene
tranquility as he takes a deep

162
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,920
breath.
I've seen that look before.

163
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,200
I do not know how many more
questions I can answer.

164
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,480
I'm not sure you've answered
many questions to begin with.

165
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,320
OK, we should.
You should figure out what the

166
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,320
most important questions to ask
are and limit it to those and

167
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,880
then leave.
Well, or we can provoke him

168
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,680
until he pops.
I only have one question.

169
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:49,520
Mr. Ayer, as a man of knowledge,
do you think that these Mao are

170
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,600
related to Nerolatho Tap?
No.

171
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,120
OK, straightforward.
Then who?

172
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,640
That's Renee wondering.
It's a mystery.

173
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:04,640
Yeah, he doesn't know, but he
thinks it's not good old gnarly.

174
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,400
I mean I suggested it was shub
*** Ras.

175
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,040
And I'm still leaning that way.
You could ask is it shub ***

176
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,200
Ras?
Why would Kearns know that name?

177
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,960
I don't know.
Did you see that name somewhere?

178
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,120
Could have had a conversation
with K at some point off.

179
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,440
Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
Yeah, I'll do that.

180
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,080
Thanks.
There there was.

181
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:35,440
There was another entity that
Miss Morgan had mentioned, Shub.

182
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,560
Naggyras I believe she was
absolutely terrible at pillow

183
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:40,880
tuck.
I punch Colin.

184
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,680
No, no.
Not chubby either.

185
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,760
I mean as far as Air's nose.
As far as air's nose, yeah.

186
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,360
Oh, this isn't a question, but I
did just want to say when we had

187
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,600
arrived in Africa at an Italian
dig site, we ran into an old

188
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:07,680
friend of yours, Mr. Acuna.
He says hi and wanted to wish

189
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,680
you well.
Do not tell him where I am.

190
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,960
Trust me, we won't.
I really do think it would be

191
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,080
best for yourself and everyone
on this planet if no one ever

192
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,840
saw you again, no offense.
He nods.

193
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,000
How's that mouth looking?
Any signs of movement that it

194
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,680
had seems to have stopped, but
the coloration that came into it

195
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:33,800
is still there.
Do you think you have it under

196
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:39,760
control, Miss Ayers?
Yes, they can be neutralized.

197
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,160
What sort of skill would I use
for some insight into this?

198
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,560
Like how?
Psychoanalysis.

199
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:50,000
Do I look like somebody who has
psychoanalysis?

200
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,760
I mean assess honesty.
So assess honesty would work.

201
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,960
Does he seem like he's telling
the truth?

202
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,640
So it's weird, like you've never
really talked to anybody quite

203
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,240
like this before, but it does
feel like he's telling the

204
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,600
truth.
Now, if I had psychoanalysis,

205
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,600
I'd ask if it seems like he
really believes it can be

206
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,000
controlled, but alas, I do not.
I do.

207
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,040
I mean, assess honesty is
whether he believes it or not,

208
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,040
and he does believe it, he has
been controlling it.

209
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,040
He's been living with this mouth
for years now.

210
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,080
Yeah, but now we came and sort
of disrupted his routine a

211
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,560
little bit.
Well, yeah, the way to

212
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,400
neutralize it is not a pleasant
process.

213
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,760
Well nobody say anything that'll
upset him.

214
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,720
Like Final Fantasy is trash.
See, I'm going to let that one

215
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,200
slide because I know you don't
mean it, no.

216
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,440
On the whole, it's a pretty good
series.

217
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,920
I mean, 9 was kind of aired.
We, we can't.

218
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,920
Let's not do this today, team.
Let's let's just not.

219
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,160
The mouth opens up and says the
load times made 9 intolerable.

220
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,480
I shoot it.
I'm just, I'm just genuinely

221
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,240
wondering like, is he going to
be a danger?

222
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,960
Should we end him?
I don't think we have to.

223
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,040
Colin has thoughts on this, but
it would be bit of a faux pas to

224
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,240
bring him up in the guy's
presence.

225
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,920
I.
Mean you guys can go huddle.

226
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,920
Yeah, team huddle, Team huddle,
Daniel, you get in here too.

227
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:30,280
What?
All of a sudden, a servo skull

228
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,080
appears.
The sound definitely doesn't

229
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,400
carry in this echoey cave, yeah.
I mean, the cave's pretty

230
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,440
shallow, right?
We could just walk outside.

231
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,800
Hey, Mr. Ears, Mr. Ayers,
Earmuffs.

232
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,080
He says nothing.
OK.

233
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,840
Perfect.
Wait, is that because he's

234
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,960
because he's not taking part or
because he's acetic?

235
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,120
It's hard to tell.
Damn well.

236
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,480
I, I basically tell you guys
what I, what I just said, like I

237
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,040
have concerns like is he going
to be dangerous now that we

238
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,960
showed up and he's reacting?
He might have got out of the

239
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,200
cult, but this is still not a
good man.

240
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,880
Yeah, but he's not hurting
anyone.

241
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,600
Not anymore.
Who's to say this isn't just

242
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,280
penance?
That's a fairpoint.

243
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,320
Mr. Kilworth, what do you think?
We could offer him what final

244
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,280
piece that we can.
And when Reginald says that, he

245
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,400
looks directly over at Kearns.
And I'm sure you understand what

246
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,800
I mean when I say this.
Loud and clear, Mr. Kilworth.

247
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,800
I mean, I'm not stupid.
I also know what you mean when

248
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:45,760
you say that.
A wink.

249
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,520
Hand stuff, right?
No, fuck, it's math stuff.

250
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,400
Fuck me, stop.
I'm not sure I can offer it

251
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,240
tactfully.
I'm not much of A somebody with

252
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,200
some interpersonal skills do it.
Which interpersonal skill is the

253
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,800
one where you say hey I'm going
to kill you, are you cool with

254
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,400
that?
Bureaucracy.

255
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,880
No.
Reassurance.

256
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,079
Nobody's saying I'm gonna, we're
saying.

257
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,440
Yeah, that like we're, we're,
let's just offer it like, you

258
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,920
know, that way, like he can be
the determiner if that's what he

259
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,760
wants.
We should definitely make sure

260
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,839
we don't have anything else to
ask first though.

261
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,480
Kay would have probably had some
questions that would drive this

262
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:37,160
guy to man of mouth out.
You wouldn't like me when I'm

263
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,440
mouthy.
No, I'm sorry, mouth out is is

264
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,760
going to be a phrase I'm going
to think about for the rest of

265
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,440
my life.
You're welcome.

266
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,280
Macrons is good.
Well, who's going to, I don't

267
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,880
know, make the offer?
Do we have any more questions?

268
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,480
I half expect that that mouth on
his belly would be better at

269
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,120
giving answers than he's been so
far.

270
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,440
He has been sitting here for a
couple of years in the middle of

271
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,440
the desert.
Oh, I have, I do have one

272
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,280
question now.
What are the warning signs

273
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,360
before you get one of one of
these bad boys?

274
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,960
I nod at his stomach.
Do you go back in and ask him

275
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,880
then?
Yeah, yeah, like what happens to

276
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,480
you before you get one of these,
dude, and I'll barf a whole

277
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,760
bunch.
Do you get a fever?

278
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,920
A hunger for your own flesh.
Or that.

279
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,200
One day it's there.
Oh cool.

280
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,640
You look down and it's just
there.

281
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:52,120
Once you you've opened yourself
up to the liar from beyond, be

282
00:18:52,120 --> 00:19:00,640
it through ritual worship,
consuming of the nectar, or even

283
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:08,080
those he just considers his
foes, he can reach out and

284
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,040
manifest himself.
Unless you are.

285
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,080
Protected.
Protected how?

286
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:25,800
There were rooms crafted ages
ago that hid your presence.

287
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:33,120
That's the only protection I
know of besides what I do.

288
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,560
Reginald pulls his notebook out
of one of his pockets and opens

289
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,440
it to the page that he sketched
the runes on from the big site

290
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,720
and shows them two heirs.
Are these those ruins?

291
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:54,720
Yes, they were created
centuries, maybe even millennia

292
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,200
ago.
I do not know any now who can

293
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,320
construct them.
I understand.

294
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,480
That you came quite a way to
meet me.

295
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,840
I fear the answers I can give
you are few.

296
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:15,720
Well, unless anybody has any
more questions.

297
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,400
I am really worried that I'm
going to think of something

298
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,520
later, but I can't think of
anything now.

299
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,280
Don't worry, be assured.
Mr. Ayers, I don't know how to

300
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,240
put this gently.
Shit, would you like to be put

301
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,800
out of your misery?
Do you want to go old man?

302
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:40,920
I am not miserable.
Yes, I engage in self denial to

303
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:50,680
keep this at Bay, but perhaps as
I push back against the liar, he

304
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:56,560
is weakened ever so much by my
little effort.

305
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,760
Well, it's something to hold
onto.

306
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,520
We'll leave you to your battle
then.

307
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:06,480
Should you gain a mouth, remove
it from your body if you can.

308
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:12,920
That's what the dynamite's for.
But life is an important gift,

309
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,400
do not let him take it.
I will be here.

310
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,960
Seek me if you need help denying
the mouth.

311
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,800
Very well.
Well, we'll leave you to it.

312
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,480
Yeah.
Shall we doodles?

313
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:37,640
If you see Edgar, he trails off
and does not say anything and

314
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,440
shuts his mouth.
We'll do.

315
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,040
We'll pass along your regards.
He was truly my friend, even

316
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,040
outside of all of this.
He always thought he was meant

317
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,400
for something greater.
But I wish we could have just

318
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,400
been friends.
Let's go.

319
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,280
And then we make our way back.
Yeah, as you leave, you look

320
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,600
back and you do see him walking
the opposite direction of you,

321
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:09,880
the fully naked, barefoot on the
sand walking through the desert.

322
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,160
Congratulations, Gabe.
You investigated and found

323
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,600
George Ayers.
I was so close to shooting him.

324
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,800
Why would you shoot him?
Because one of those things took

325
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,880
Miss Morgan and he had a hand in
it.

326
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,960
But then he said all that stuff
about pushing back against the

327
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,680
the liar and him fighting his
own personal battle, and I can

328
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,760
respect that.
And now you know, assuming he's

329
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,400
correct.
Process of elimination where

330
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,280
maybe figuring out the true
identity of the liar from

331
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,400
beyond.
Yeah.

332
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,280
What I find interesting is that
if I'm parsing all this right,

333
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,360
Acavaria was not worshipping the
mouths.

334
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,440
He was not worshipping the liar.
That was a means to an end.

335
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,520
Apparently even Eldridge Gods
play politics.

336
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,160
And he had plans for Edgar job.
Hmm, Nope.

337
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,760
I'm.
Not getting it.

338
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,800
I had suggested something very
early on.

339
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,960
Which was?
He's he's going to recuperate in

340
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,640
Job's body.
I look at Reg.

341
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,000
Do we know anybody who likes to
jump from body to body?

342
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,280
It's you.
Yeah, used to be K No, you're

343
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,000
Kearns.
Oh no, shoot myself in the head.

344
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:35,480
No, don't do that.
That could be any number of

345
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,640
creatures, or any number of
different things can potentially

346
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,560
walk in the flesh of a person.
I mean, if a cavalry is trying

347
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,840
to reincarnate himself within
Job, you'd think it would have

348
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,440
happened by now, right?
I don't know for a fact it

349
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,800
hasn't.
The way you phrased that, damn.

350
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,760
Y'all think it was weird how
Ayres considered Job to be such

351
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,600
a friend but Job never even
mentioned him?

352
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,360
What a bad friend.
Admittedly, you did not get job

353
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,200
on a great day.
Yeah.

354
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,960
I don't know if job has great
days anymore to be fair.

355
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:13,640
Well, what?
What's our next course of action

356
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,000
here?
Blow up Dal.

357
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,240
That is a bad idea.
Yes it is, but I was also

358
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,680
thinking blowing up Dalo well.
Not, not the whole.

359
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,440
Not the whole, not the whole
village, just the mouth they're

360
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,000
trying to make.
And maybe their Chieftain.

361
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:34,560
Yeah, all.
Right.

362
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,320
And how would you describe the
permeability of your skin in

363
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,120
relation to sharp objects such
as knives and glass?

364
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,760
What?
How easy are you to stab?

365
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,560
Well, to put a finer point on
it, yes.

366
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,160
You know, I'm pretty normally
stabbable.

367
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,560
I don't think they're going to
take too kindly to us doing

368
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,480
well.
Pretty much anything back at the

369
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,600
lol.
Yeah, even still, we have a way

370
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,400
out.
We do have an instant press F to

371
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,920
escape button, so to speak.
Some sort of fast travel?

372
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,120
Yes, it's something Kay was
experimenting with before she

373
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:19,640
died and now Reg has taken up as
a hobby of sorts.

374
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,040
Oh, I've heard all about that.
Yeah.

375
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,640
Mr. Faulk, I I just look at my
feet.

376
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,760
Colin also looks at Karen's
feet.

377
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,040
Can I just say I love that?
Like Colin is like classic

378
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,920
comedy protagonist stupid.
Like Colin is airplane stupid.

379
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,920
You know Colin is the Naked Gun
stupid.

380
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,160
If we are going to go after
Delal, we need to be smart about

381
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,280
it.
Agreed.

382
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,280
I think those are mutually
exclusive.

383
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,440
This.
Is a question for the GM.

384
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,200
That's me.
All of the structures in Dewal

385
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,160
were like the mud brick type
structures.

386
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,480
I'm assuming there wasn't much
like that was made out of wood

387
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,800
or anything like that.
There was a little bit of wooden

388
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,880
things that were there.
Let me see, I wrote down what it

389
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,120
was described as, OK?
While the GM is looking things

390
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:19,880
up, may I suggest something?
Get back to the plane, fly over

391
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,840
down all, all of the dynamite
that we have on it.

392
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,040
We're we're not flying a bomber.
As funny as that is, I don't

393
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,440
think that would work.
If we're going to do this, we

394
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,400
need to do it right, and we need
to get it right the first time

395
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,760
if at all possible.
Yeah, most of the structures

396
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,240
there, as it were, are tents
that are made with, you know,

397
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,640
hides and bones and stuff like
that.

398
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,080
Small bits for the frame, so.
Flammable.

399
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:55,360
Yes, flammable.
However, the central building

400
00:26:55,360 --> 00:27:01,400
that you went into, where the
proto mouth is, is made out of

401
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,520
salt blocks.
And that doesn't really burn all

402
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,480
that well.
And that's really the only

403
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,040
building we absolutely need to
destroy and probably the only

404
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,760
building we absolutely should
destroy.

405
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:19,280
I don't I, I have some sympathy
for these people.

406
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,640
I don't think they were acting
of their own free will entirely.

407
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:29,760
I am pretty sure the people that
are living in the law are quite

408
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,880
far gone.
Well, the children obviously

409
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,800
don't know any better.
What I was thinking is if we are

410
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:44,280
going to do it, since we are
drastically outnumbered, we set

411
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,280
fire to what we can as a
distraction.

412
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:51,400
We then take what explosives we
have and we take out that

413
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,720
central building.
You know, I've got another idea.

414
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,240
Who do the Italians not like
around here?

415
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,840
Everyone.
Yeah, So what if we tell them

416
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,000
some of these everyone people
are hanging open to law.

417
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,160
They got, you know, artillery,
machines, war stuff.

418
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,760
That's.
I mean.

419
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:17,040
Shit, I don't think, putting
aside the morality of sicking

420
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:22,400
the fascists on people, I don't
think that's entirely practical.

421
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,800
Just to clarify, to answer
Russell's question, I know we're

422
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,320
all really eager to shoot it
down.

423
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:33,360
Just to be clear, the Italians
are fighting Emperor Holly

424
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:37,040
Selassie and his army of the
Ethiopian Empire.

425
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,080
They are in more of a guerrilla
war at this moment.

426
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,560
They've lost most of their
standing forces, but the

427
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,840
Italians are definitely trying
to stop them.

428
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,920
Root out hidden cells, perhaps
we.

429
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,840
Could possibly say that they're
harboring some Help me out here.

430
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:55,960
You just say resistance.
Yeah.

431
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,000
Ethiopian resistance, yeah.
Hate this.

432
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,640
And what do you think's going to
happen when they send a Recon

433
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,800
squad or whatever and see if the
natives are friendly?

434
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,160
Exactly the same thing as what
would happen if we go in there

435
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,200
on our own.
OK.

436
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:17,440
It's such a far distance from
any base that we've seen that I

437
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,360
don't think they would risk even
like sending out a Recon group

438
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,240
on nothing but our word, you
know, and any like heavy

439
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,280
artillery that they would try
and bring with them.

440
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,120
I don't know, probably wouldn't
do great going through the sand

441
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,880
and.
They probably wouldn't need to

442
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,880
bring heavy artillery.
Fair enough.

443
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,600
They might also wipe out
everything on the way, which

444
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,560
includes a good number of people
who I don't particularly want to

445
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,160
die.
We're trying to tame a rabid

446
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,200
animal here.
Dealing with men like that, I

447
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,080
don't think it's worth it.
You bring up a good point, Mr.

448
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,760
Falk.
I do like the distraction plan.

449
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:10,360
Yeah, granted, the last time we
went there, they were mostly OK

450
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,840
with us.
They didn't try to kill us and

451
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,880
I'm not saying we left on
friendly terms, but.

452
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,320
I might not be so friendly the
second time around.

453
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,720
They seemed upset watching us
go.

454
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,080
True enough.
Whether we left on friendly

455
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,080
terms or not, they are trying to
bring another one of these

456
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:38,800
mouths into the world.
Yes, it's our job right now to

457
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,240
stop this.
As Reginald says this, he just

458
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:49,480
kind of gestures to the like
surrounding area from happening

459
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,000
and do something about it.
Yeah, I'm not saying that we

460
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,920
should just ignore the
situation.

461
00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:00,200
I'm saying we don't have to
immediately start if if they let

462
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,000
us back in, we might not have to
like go through the song and

463
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,080
dance of setting fires and
rushing the main building.

464
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:16,040
If we go in there just trusting
that nothing will happen to us,

465
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:21,480
we may not walk out again.
I I understand that you want to

466
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,240
minimize the loss of life, and
that is noble.

467
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:31,360
However, we have to consider the
law enemy territory.

468
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,440
Don't patronize me, Reggie, but
you're not wrong.

469
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:41,320
I'll just say this gang, Yeah,
yeah, this is voice of AGM, who

470
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,840
maybe is giving you bad ideas.
I mean, there isn't about there

471
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,880
yet.
It's like.

472
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,160
Fine, right?
Shut up.

473
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,160
Intrusive.
Thoughts.

474
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,120
Wait so you're saying we should
take a spa date?

475
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:02,320
Perhaps I'm just saying that you
know, well, there might be

476
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:07,160
bigger fish to fry.
It's fine, right?

477
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,840
Nope, that was way too high
pitched.

478
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,920
Now we.
Got yeah, sorry, Dan, let's.

479
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,800
Gather there's some some
firewood.

480
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,640
I I just want to make sure that
you are aware of your options.

481
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,440
Recall, there's still a you
encountered a mouth in Los

482
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,200
Angeles and then you left and
didn't deal with the mouth in

483
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,880
Los Angeles.
You can do.

484
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,560
But that was because Kay was on
fire.

485
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,240
We did set the.
Because we were too fucked up to

486
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,040
deal with.
Like I was dying, everybody else

487
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,960
was fucking blasted.
How's our health doing right

488
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,680
now?
We don't know what's happening

489
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,320
over there right now.
I think we are slow dying at the

490
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,240
moment, yeah.
Yeah, I'm at about. 3/4 of my

491
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,120
health bar I'm.
At full health, full health 0

492
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,920
stability but full health.
Yeah -3 stability over here.

493
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,400
So yeah, let's grab it over
flammable as we can.

494
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,640
We should probably do some
Recon, see what looks like the

495
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,640
most optimal place to set fire
to all.

496
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,520
Right.
Just let me save first in case

497
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:13,480
this goes wrong.
What are you talking?

498
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,640
Ohh Nope.
Disconnected all data lost.

499
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,520
Gotta start again.
Don't worry guys, I have a plan.

500
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:27,920
Has left the game.
Call, I'm planning to save scum.

501
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,840
If only, man.
If only we could, uh.

502
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,120
Finding a way to cheat death is
like a love crafty thing to try

503
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,560
to do.
I will say I don't really know

504
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,400
if it's in the cards for the the
kind of Lovecraft adventure

505
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,640
we're doing right now.
Also the cheating of death.

506
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,280
Ultimately, is it super
successful either?

507
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,280
Yeah, it generally has a lot of
side effects and not very many

508
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,840
good ones.
Maybe just go track down Herbert

509
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,400
W it'll.
Yep, that didn't go poorly you.

510
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,680
Made it.
All right, don't worry, it's.

511
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,440
Herbert W Reanimator is a
Lovecraft story about a

512
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,560
Frankenstein type.
Yep, Yep.

513
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:07,520
Remember that?
Yep.

514
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,719
Yeah, Blonde, blue eyed tiny
guy.

515
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:14,320
Yeah, noted twink and
necromancer Herbert West.

516
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,400
He's also Jeffrey Combs in the
in the movie.

517
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,199
He is Jeffrey Combs.
Great.

518
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:20,520
Shut up, I need to.
Watch that.

519
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,440
Yeah, they made like 3 of them.
Have you not seen Reanimator

520
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,360
with Jeffrey?
No.

521
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,400
Yeah, there were like 3 of them.
Dude, that's awesome.

522
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,639
The first one is good, there are
other ones.

523
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:38,400
We're gonna commit some fucking
arson and do a little Recon

524
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,400
first.
OK wow, I only have two stalls.

525
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:48,239
Now we do have a fourth option
outside of going to the

526
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,639
Italians, doing it ourselves or
just going on our merry way.

527
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:58,520
What's option 4?
I'm pretty sure that if we speak

528
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:04,960
to either Mathai or Mohoho about
the fact that they are trying to

529
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,000
summon a mouth.
I'm just going to tell you this,

530
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:13,960
their power is they would not be
able to stop this.

531
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,560
There's like three of them left
and mostly they look at stuff.

532
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,880
Yeah, that isn't, they are not
like they are not going to be

533
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,720
able to get you weapons like
that Knights Templar guy was

534
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,480
just to save you the trip back
to talk to them and then have

535
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,160
you say like, oh, there's
nothing we can do to help you.

536
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,040
Fair enough.
They do think I'm the messenger

537
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,880
as well.
Maybe they've got some bad news

538
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,640
coming.
Still working on that, but if I

539
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,400
can come up with something maybe
they'll do the job themselves.

540
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,280
See, that's what I was talking
about earlier, like leverage

541
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:57,760
that, but it's risky and it's
leaving a lot to chance as was

542
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,360
pointed out.
Nah, I just need to roll well.

543
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:06,520
Not that like everything about
this is risky, this is basically

544
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,480
suicidal.
But because we have an exit

545
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:14,760
strategy, we have a decent shot
because all we need to do is

546
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,000
once we get to the mouth area,
basically just light some

547
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,360
dynamite, leave through the
portal and put the whole thing

548
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:31,720
behind us in theory.
What are you going to tell your

549
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:34,560
native guides?
Yeah, I was thinking about that.

550
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,600
My initial thought was to just
tell them to head straight to

551
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:44,800
either Kululi or where our exit
point is at Iron Point.

552
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:46,800
Yeah, because Iron Point is
closer.

553
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,440
So we tell them, go on ahead to
Iron Point without us.

554
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,880
We'll meet you there, and then
we'll meet them there by being

555
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,240
there first through the magic of
teleportation.

556
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,040
We could always ask them if they
want us or want to help us take

557
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,720
out the law.
I have a feeling they'll all say

558
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:08,640
no, but we could ask.
Doesn't hurt to ask.

559
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,320
Yeah, I think that's for normal
circumstances currents.

560
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,840
Yeah, his circumstances are
anything but.

561
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:19,200
Yeah, I give a crooked smile.
Yes, I was about to say that.

562
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:25,600
After you've spoken to the weird
man that you found, you go back

563
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:32,200
to Mukaku and your other guides
and let me say so if you found

564
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,880
everything you were looking for,
can we return to the village?

565
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:43,560
Yeah, yeah, kind of, kind of.
All right, let's get going.

566
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,920
There's still something that we
need.

567
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,360
To we, we have to do one more
thing in dowel that said.

568
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,640
It's time to deal with Dowel.
More like to dowel, but.

569
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,960
Yeah, yeah, when, when we you'll
be dropping us off there.

570
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,000
Don't stick around.
Leave immediately.

571
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,720
Do you?
We will not need your help

572
00:38:05,720 --> 00:38:06,680
getting back you.
Shouldn't.

573
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,400
I promise you, we will survive.
Yes.

574
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,440
But you won't.
But we will not need your help

575
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,520
getting back.
I know it sounds like we're

576
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:20,560
going on a suicide mission
maybe, but it'll probably be

577
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,080
fine.
Just trust us.

578
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:30,040
I have seen you in the desert.
You will not make it back alive.

579
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,920
Well, if you would like to help
us destroy the law.

580
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,280
Destroy Dalal.
Well, one building in

581
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,920
particular, but yes.
We are not going there.

582
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,480
As I have told you several
times, you should not go there.

583
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:51,720
That is a bad place that should
be kept away from.

584
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:58,080
That bad place is going to keep
getting worse and worse until

585
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,240
everyone in this fucking desert
is dead.

586
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:07,480
We have to deal with it.
If you don't want to help us,

587
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:12,520
that's fine, but we have to.
Do you understand?

588
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:17,480
You come here and think that we
don't know about bad things.

589
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,600
Yes, there is evil there.
There's evil N with the

590
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,280
Italians.
Everything is getting worse all

591
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,720
the time.
Sticking your nose into it is

592
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,440
only going to get your nose
chopped off.

593
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:34,280
Should I say bitten off?
We make sure that we keep

594
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,720
ourselves protected.
I will not live like a coward.

595
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,280
Can you keep yourselves
protected from one of the things

596
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,880
that was sealed in that
mountain?

597
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,120
Because that's what is going to
be coming to the LOL sooner or

598
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,280
later.
They are trying to summon one of

599
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,400
those.
That is what we are trying to

600
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,080
stop.
You can help us or you cannot.

601
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,480
All we need is a guide back to
Dolo.

602
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,920
I will take you to Dolo.
You have paid upfront.

603
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:14,280
I am going to take the these
camels that you rode on and I'm

604
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,160
going to take them back with me
if you are going to stay in

605
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,640
Dolo.
Good.

606
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,280
Well, I wouldn't say we're
staying, but but it's probably a

607
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,760
good idea you take them back.
Yes.

608
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,360
Reg is a bit of a magician, you
see.

609
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,960
If we do like, survive this.
Big if.

610
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,000
And like, send them a letter
from Iron Point.

611
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,720
Those guys are going to be
thinking about us for the rest

612
00:40:35,720 --> 00:40:40,160
of their fucking lives.
Now remember, Iron Point is

613
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,880
about half a day for like you
could see the village that these

614
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,960
guys are from, from Iron Point.
Like Iron Point is where all the

615
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,640
people from the village like ran
up to when they heard the train

616
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,560
was coming.
So you could swing by and say

617
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,360
hello to them, or you could just
leave a letter.

618
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,640
Or we could just wave from Iron
Point.

619
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:03,160
You could wave from Iron Point
like, hey, hi, we're here.

620
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,560
Hello.
The train whistle at them.

621
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,360
All right, Well, you arrive like
midday.

622
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,480
Do you want to go in at midday
or do you want to wait till

623
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,800
night or wait till the morning?
Audio missing.

624
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,480
No, I concur.
Your guides leave, and after the

625
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,880
conversation you just had with
them, they don't leave on the

626
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,800
friendliest of terms.
Fair, they're not like trying to

627
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,560
fight you or anything, but
they're mostly just like, OK,

628
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,200
these fucking crazy Americans
can say whatever the hell they

629
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:41,600
want.
Yeah, I kind of expected that

630
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:47,320
response, to be honest.
But, well, this will be really

631
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,720
funny if we pull it off and
horribly tragic if we don't.

632
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:55,480
So what else is new that?
'D be a good title for your

633
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,200
book.
The dangers of complacency.

634
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,640
Seems a little long for.
A time, yeah, yeah, I'm I'm

635
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,040
gonna go with what Kearns said.
I think that's a better one as.

636
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:12,200
Long as you credit me.
Oh 100% and if I die, you have

637
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,520
my permission to write it.
I almost laugh.

638
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:22,360
Not much of a writer, Mr. Falk.
Never too late to pick up new

639
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,000
hobbies.
Well, I'll say that at the end

640
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,440
of the day.
Yeah, fair enough.

641
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,560
I don't really deal in them.
Let's just say the only literary

642
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,800
devices I'm familiar with are
similes and metaphors.

643
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,040
Here, This here is my simile,
and I raise my right fist.

644
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,840
And this here is metaphor.
And I raise my left fist.

645
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,400
You see, a simile uses like or
and.

646
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:53,480
You're just punching people,
yelling like an and so what's

647
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,320
the plan?
You going to sneak in or are you

648
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:02,040
going to walk in as the prophet?
Well, I still have no stealth

649
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,800
skills, so I'll walk in as the
prophet.

650
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:12,640
So before we like actually get
this done, can I roll explosives

651
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:18,200
to craft some molotovs out of
some cloth and Regis ever

652
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:23,760
present alcohol supply?
I mean, you get probably 1.

653
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,600
I don't know how much alcohol
you have.

654
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,680
Oh, terrifying.
But I'll let you make 1 He.

655
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:29,800
Usually has a couple of flasks
on him.

656
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,160
It's got like a bandolier.
Can I assist?

657
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,240
Full of flasks.
I mean, I have an explosive

658
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:40,600
skill of four and I haven't
spent any.

659
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,440
What sort of a difficulty would
I need?

660
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,600
To craft it, Difficulty 3, Diff
3, yeah.

661
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,920
You know what, I will just spend
2 points.

662
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:53,320
Now how many, how many molotovs
will he be able to get out of

663
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,600
it?
Because two OK, can I roll

664
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,840
preparedness for some to have
some alcohol on me?

665
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:05,200
How much alcohol were you
carrying through the that is

666
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,000
what preparedness is for it is
So yes, you can roll.

667
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,680
Preparedness.
Literally what?

668
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,280
Preparedness is.
It sure the shit is Daniel.

669
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:17,000
Daniel's dread tail.
I, I can't, I cannot deny that

670
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,120
that is what this is for.
I'm realizing I never logged

671
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,760
into roll 20 to look at stats
because we truly have not done

672
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,720
any amount of dicing this entire
time.

673
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,800
But I need to look at your stats
for the horrible things that are

674
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,440
about to maybe happen to you
now.

675
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,640
What are you trying to roll
preparedness for?

676
00:44:31,720 --> 00:44:34,280
You're trying to do you.
Have a flask of bourbon on me.

677
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,080
You know, for the Molotovsk of
Bourbon.

678
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,280
OK.
You didn't want to roll

679
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,920
preparedness to have remembered
to take the keg off the camels

680
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:47,840
before they left a.
Flask or two.

681
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,800
OK, to have that difficulty 3
preparedness.

682
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,680
Fuck, I don't know if I want to
spend the point on that.

683
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,600
I'm just going to leave it to
the dice gods, yes.

684
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,800
Very.
Nice, God said yes.

685
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,160
The nice gods have smiled upon
me this day.

686
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,960
The heart of the Gods.
Wait, no, that's blasphemy.

687
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,080
I I got crossed myself.
OK, you have some alcohol.

688
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,520
OK, And I also have the
explosive skill.

689
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,400
OK.
How many total molotovs can we

690
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,080
craft?
As discussed, you need to make

691
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,480
it difficulty.
Well, I guess he made the

692
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,800
difficulty 3 already.
You're just supplying more

693
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:34,000
molotovs.
I'll give you 3 more. 5

694
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,440
molotovs.
That's what I'm talking about.

695
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,080
Better than two?
This is a terrible idea, isn't

696
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,280
it?
Oh yeah.

697
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,440
Do you have a better one?
Not particularly, I had a better

698
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,880
one.
As established, calling the

699
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:56,040
fascists not a better idea, at
least in my humble opinion.

700
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,600
Higher survival rate for us.
No, I'm with you on this one.

701
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,920
So I mean, they don't want the
world devoured by mouth.

702
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,680
They are a world devouring
mouth.

703
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,760
OK.
I want each of you to tell me

704
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:20,960
what your character is doing.
So I'll go in as the messenger

705
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,760
and, well, I guess I'll just
have to make a big ruckus since

706
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,280
nobody's going to be translating
for me.

707
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,200
I'm going to try to draw
everybody I can so that their

708
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,840
attention is on me instead of
you guys as you, I don't know,

709
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,200
fuck around.
Well, there will definitely be

710
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,600
fucking around and possibly a
little of finding out too.

711
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:48,400
Should I go with Colin or stay
with the explosives team?

712
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,280
Because if I'm with.
Do you have any experience with

713
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:52,360
explosives?
None.

714
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,520
We both do.
Well, what?

715
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,600
What do your talents lend
themselves to here?

716
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,120
JP?
You could, you could write, I

717
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:03,520
don't know, get the eulogies
ready.

718
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:11,360
Thank you, very encouraging, but
I can help you translate stuff.

719
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,720
Well, my thinking is that having
what I'm saying translated isn't

720
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:19,160
actually going to help.
I mean, JB could always lie to

721
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,920
them about what you're saying.
I mean here's the thing, JB also

722
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,840
doesn't really speak the
language that these peoples.

723
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:27,840
Right.
That's Kearns.

724
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,000
Yeah, with French.
Well, no.

725
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,520
Nobody really speaks the like
sort of AFR language that these

726
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,560
guys speak.
You were only able to talk to

727
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,200
the one guy who was missing a
limb.

728
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,000
Who was the translator.
Yeah, and he's probably not down

729
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,240
to.
The fucked up gave a telephone.

730
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,000
Yeah, if I recall it was
multiple limbs and he lost

731
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,240
another in front of us.
You didn't lose the whole thing,

732
00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:52,720
he just got humped, munched on a
bit.

733
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,640
That's almost worse.
So are you going to go with him

734
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:01,000
or not?
I'm gonna go with Colin and help

735
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:06,040
make that ruckus this is.
We've got team ruckus and team

736
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,520
explosion.
Anybody else got a real nasty

737
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,360
knot in their stomach about all
this?

738
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,400
Here's.
Something blasting off again.

739
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,320
OK.
And what are the other two

740
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:17,640
doing?
I know you're talking about like

741
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,920
setting stuff on fire with the
molotovs that you've got.

742
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,080
Anything else besides that?
Are you just going to try to

743
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,520
sneak into the village and start
lighting stuff up?

744
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,840
Sneaking in, starting to light
stuff up.

745
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,560
As soon as that ruckus has
started, we're making our way to

746
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,000
the salt building to.
OK.

747
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:33,800
Yep, to blow stuff up over
there.

748
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,360
Explosions, yeah.
OK, so the molotovs are going to

749
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,200
set the stuff on fire and we
have the last of the dynamite

750
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,720
you're going to use there is the
idea.

751
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:47,000
I also still have one grenade.
OK, so I had two and I have only

752
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,040
used one.
OK, you could use the last of

753
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,440
the dynamite and the grenade.
Yeah, Yep.

754
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:56,720
Our primary objectives are
blowing the proto mouth and the

755
00:48:56,720 --> 00:48:59,120
woman who was making it sky
high.

756
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,840
Mine is to be annoying.
Mine is to also be annoying, but

757
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,280
this is all in service of the
blowing that thing sky high.

758
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:18,640
OK.
People of Galal are in their

759
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:23,760
beds more or less as you
approach the City team.

760
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,760
Sneaky fire.
So are they making enough of a

761
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,640
ruckus that we don't have to
roll stealth for this or?

762
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,640
You will still need to roll
stealth however the difficulty

763
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,560
will be 3 OK.
Oakley, Dokley.

764
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,240
You know what?
I'm just going to burn 2 points.

765
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,360
I have eight points of stealth
and I may as well spend what I

766
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,560
got.
I only have two points, 2 barn,

767
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:52,040
I'm going to spend one yes who
did not need to spend it.

768
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,480
When you don't spend the point,
that's when you fail.

769
00:49:55,880 --> 00:50:00,560
That's this whole system, baby.
You make your way stealthily

770
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:06,480
into the village.
People are either asleep or

771
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,840
deliberately not trying to
listen to the noise that is

772
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,840
going on or going out to
investigate the noise.

773
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,240
But the bigger noise is not your
guys's footsteps, it is the

774
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:24,440
people that are shouting.
What do you do?

775
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:29,800
Well, Yolo it is I guess.
And time to light the fires, as

776
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,400
it were.
All right.

777
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,640
Right there with you, Mr.
Collins.

778
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:39,080
Because you are not doing this
in a way to attack anyone.

779
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,280
Anybody could throw a Molotov
cocktail if it is prepared

780
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,360
correctly, which they weren't
prepared correctly.

781
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:51,280
So I'm not going to require you
to roll, but do you just start

782
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,000
tossing them are?
There any buildings that are

783
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:01,080
empty?
Say a store or a warehouse or

784
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,280
something.
It's all tents and there's.

785
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,160
One big thing, it's pretty much
all tents.

786
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,040
It's not that kind of not that
kind of village, Lord.

787
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:15,920
Forgive me, yeah, I light up a
Molotov, light up a smoke off of

788
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,040
it and then throw it at just in
yours tent at random.

789
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:25,520
OK, the fire engulfs the tent
and it will begin to spread out

790
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,680
in a moment perhaps.
What about you, Reg?

791
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,640
Reg is going to look for any
tents that may be like a little

792
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:38,280
bit closer together to try and
maximize the amount of fire that

793
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,080
is created.
And yeah, basically throwing

794
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,720
them at essentially tents that
are closer together.

795
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,920
Is there a skill you want to use
for that?

796
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,760
I can even let you use
explosives for that if you would

797
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,520
like, though that is using up
your explosive skill.

798
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:57,960
It is.
I I can say.

799
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,840
Architecture, but that wouldn't
work very well.

800
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:04,240
Yeah, not, not this village.
Outdoorsman.

801
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,600
Yeah, you know you can make it
outdoorsman role to know about

802
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,960
fire.
This is why I never trusted

803
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,120
buildings, yeah.
Difficulty.

804
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:18,120
Four, I will spend 2 points
because if I don't spend points

805
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,000
I will definitely fail.
Haha.

806
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,040
That's a four.
Nice.

807
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:22,680
See if I.
Didn't.

808
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,080
Oh, actually, you know what?
I messed up.

809
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,040
Outdoorsman is not a skill you
roll.

810
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,520
Outdoorsman is a is just a skill
that you have and you can spend

811
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:31,120
points for.
OK.

812
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,960
So I will spend one point.
Yeah, OK, great.

813
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:40,880
The village begins to burn.
This fire is starting to spread

814
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,360
through one side of the village.
On the other side of the

815
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:48,240
village, there are all the
people around our group of

816
00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:54,760
yellers to keep people occupied
while the village begins to

817
00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:02,600
burn.
People of Galal are in their

818
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,840
beds, more or less as you
approach the city.

819
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,320
Which gives me a bonus to
annoying as I understand.

820
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,360
What skill are you going to use
to be annoying?

821
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:15,840
Good question, I was just
looking at this.

822
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,080
Oral History.
Are you going to shout the story

823
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:22,720
of Legacy?
Oh my.

824
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:28,960
God.
Here you.

825
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:37,080
It haunts me.
You don't have to use a skill.

826
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,120
You could just say, I'm just
going to start yelling.

827
00:53:39,720 --> 00:53:41,840
But if there's a particular
skill you say you would use

828
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,400
like, you could use that.
There's absolutely a particular

829
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,800
skill that Colin is going to use
for his yelling.

830
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,480
What is it?
Accounting.

831
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,160
Are you just going to start
yelling boring numbers fast?

832
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,360
Tax code.
Tax code.

833
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,280
OK, perfect.
I'm going to make a real big

834
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:04,560
show of it.
It's going to look like a

835
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,600
ritual.
Also for JB who can understand

836
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,760
what I'm saying.
It will be insane to behold.

837
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:18,120
OK, so you walk into the village
and you're shouting at the top

838
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,160
of your lungs, I assume.
Give me some.

839
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,360
You don't need to give me the
whole thing, but give me like

840
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,040
one or two sentences of the sort
of things that you're saying.

841
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,480
A corresponding period of four
years applies in the same manner

842
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,560
of the assessment and to the
refunding or crediting of all

843
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,920
miscellaneous taxes.

845
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,400
Section 3228.

applying to income taxes.
JB frozen an occasional hear ye,

849
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:17,240
hear ye.
The messenger has words.

850
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,040
He sure does, JB.
Jesus.

851
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,640
You're the hype man.
I'm the hype man.

852
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,840
Is there a skill you're using
hype man?

853
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:31,720
Flattery.
I mean, you are saying that that

854
00:55:31,720 --> 00:55:33,480
is what a hype man would use.
They would use flat.

855
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,560
Fuck yeah it is.
Yeah, that tracks.

856
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:41,880
That is literally what that is.
OK, people are coming out.

857
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,720
Some of them are excited to see
you, some are less excited to

858
00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:47,240
see.
You understandable it is 3:00

859
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,360
AM.
Yeah, you do notice that a lot

860
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,360
of people are coming out with
knives and other weapons.

861
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,720
This is not necessarily a unique
situation from what you saw

862
00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:02,080
before because they do like to
just mostly use those on

863
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,280
themselves.
The bigger concern is as you are

864
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:12,560
coming in, you see a trio of men
who sort of zone in on you.

865
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:16,720
They are carrying rifles.
Well, I hope they don't speak

866
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:18,960
English.
I did not see that one coming.

867
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,600
Don't worry, JBI got a plan.
They do not open fire or

868
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,280
anything, but they are
definitely following you and

869
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,480
looking at.
You OK?

870
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,320
Where are you going?
Looking at us is better than

871
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,000
looking at the explosives team.
Yeah, that's the whole point.

872
00:56:32,240 --> 00:56:34,520
Yeah.
So yeah, don't worry.

873
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:39,040
JB there are some people that
are now shouting out back at

874
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:40,840
you.
Some of them seem to be angry,

875
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,680
some of them seem to be
excitement that you are here.

876
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:46,520
Fantastic.
All right.

877
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,480
All right, I got a plan here.
JB, get me one of those knives.

878
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:54,560
Oh.
My God, I tentatively hand him

879
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,800
my knife.
Slash slash.

880
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,120
They're really big into
bloodletting so they should get

881
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:00,800
their attention.
Holy shit.

882
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,840
Fuck me.
Who are you slashing, yourself

883
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:05,760
or JB?
Myself.

884
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,760
Where do you slash yourself?
Oh, good question.

885
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,040
Oh.
You did just mime on the ARM.

886
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,800
On the side.
Which arm left?

887
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,400
Cullen is right-handed.
Are you left-handed or right?

888
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,680
Handed right-handed.
That would make sense cuz use

889
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,720
your right hand use.
Your right, yeah, all right.

890
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,840
It takes JB back a second but
then he's like OK, fuck it, we

891
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,800
ball.
Behold the bloodletting ritual

892
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,800
of the fucking.
What the hell is going on?

893
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,000
Oh, JB, you're gonna need to
make a stability.

894
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:34,880
Check.
Yeah, that makes sense.

895
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,640
That's.
Colin.

896
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,120
No.
No, this is just Colin's stuff.

897
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,680
Well, you know what gang?
Don't worry about this stability

898
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,040
tax because it's the next one
that's actually going to be the

899
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,000
issue.
So you slice your arm, blood

900
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,920
begins to pour out.
JB starts declaring that you are

901
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,320
like the this ritual is great
and whatever.

902
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,640
Behold, capitalism.
And then you look at your arm

903
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,480
and you see the wound that
you've cut has teeth on it.

904
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:07,240
Ah.
Shit.

905
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,200
