Last time on Eternal Lives,

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,760
Reeling from the events of the
night before, Smalls and Kinds

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,120
dug deeper into later psyche to
discover what exactly happened

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,120
while Kane and Falk checked back
in with Mexico City PD and

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,760
Detective Gomez.
While the detective and his

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,200
pursued partner handed out a
plan to apprehend Kronelov and

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,480
track down Brooks and De la Luz
once and for all, the others got

11
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,280
a glimpse into just what awaits
them at the end of that search.

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,480
Waiting outside of Kronorov's
lair for the right moment, the

13
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:53,920
investigators sprang into
action, catching the Colt tough

14
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,360
and nearly losing their own in
the process.

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,120
With Kronorov at last in hand,
the investigators prepared to

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,200
extract whatever foundation
remained yet hidden from them.

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,560
The die is cast.
The pact is sealed.

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,040
May God have mercy on our souls.
It's Daniel's dovetails.

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,040
What's our plan for meeting
Senora Adila Maus over there?

20
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:26,120
Come up with a plan, get it
blown to shit, panic.

21
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,680
Didn't we get some wax for like
earplugs?

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,800
I I feel like we got earplugs.
There were cutting balls from

23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,280
the hotel.
That was it.

24
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,600
That was it.
Also, Kearns got hypnotized to

25
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,080
not kill me next time, so we'll
see how that goes.

26
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:50,640
Not great.
No, I don't.

27
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,600
It's probably going to work
right?

28
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,400
I mean the attempt was made.
Yeah, and like, failing the

29
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,160
check doesn't mean that it's not
going to work, right?

30
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,680
You know what, life's full of
surprises.

31
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,560
We'll, we'll see what happens.
I have some ideas, but no plan.

32
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,920
You know, you act like I'm the
God who's like trying to fuck

33
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:16,520
you over with.
To an extent I kind of am, but I

34
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:18,880
am often surprised at the
directions that we go.

35
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,920
Yay.
So where are we?

36
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,040
Somebody reminded me we were
recording last year.

37
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,920
Indeed, we were in a secret
basement warehouse sort of deal

38
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:37,640
that Cronalov and some goons
were occupying and we it just

39
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,800
beat the crap out of Cronalov.
I thought he had a townhouse

40
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,120
with the neighboring buildings
torn down.

41
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,400
Yeah, and we're in his secret
basement under.

42
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,880
The tree, yeah.
Yeah.

43
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,320
And there a tree and there a
tree.

44
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,040
OK, that could get us sued, no?
It's different than now.

45
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Anyway, also Kearns got shot to
shit, straight up Swiss cheesed.

46
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,360
But then there was some there
was some teamwork to heal

47
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,160
Kearns.
And then him and JB, you know,

48
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,720
had a moment.
So I do want to comment.

49
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:15,880
We ended last episode mostly
seeing our lovely little moment

50
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,240
of these two men comforting each
other.

51
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,080
But we also handcuffed Krona
Law.

52
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,680
I will note his feet are ready
and good to go.

53
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,720
I mean, not really because you
you was punched quite a bit, but

54
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,640
he is not like completely unable
to move.

55
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,640
However, the threat of more
beating has made him stop for

56
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,520
now.
But he's also not saying

57
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,440
anything.
He is clammed up.

58
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,240
Yeah, that that makes sense.
We're I think we're just going

59
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,640
to straight up have have call
and torture him.

60
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,480
Was was the vibe I got from the
way it ended.

61
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Oh, really?
So I may have some other option.

62
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,560
You're going to make Ronaldo
talk about his childhood and

63
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,720
ponies, huh?
Actually, I distinctly remember

64
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:10,480
I made a preparedness role last
session for a a sedative Kearns.

65
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Yeah.
Hold him down, please.

66
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,959
Can I for sure and?
JB, however, still says Can you?

67
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:26,720
Yeah, I get up, limp over to the
commie motherfucker and grab him

68
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,000
in a chokehold.
Oh my God, it's OK, You can say

69
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,760
the C word.
We can't.

70
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,280
He is going to fight back like
he is not, you know?

71
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,080
Oh, just give me an excuse,
buddy.

72
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,760
Just give me a reason.
If we're going to start making

73
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,280
scuffling checks again, we can
start making scuffling checks

74
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,560
again.
Isn't he at like at zero health?

75
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,080
He's at One Health and I don't
know if you want to spend your

76
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,840
scuffling points on.
I still have 7 points left.

77
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,200
OK.
God.

78
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,040
Well, you know what's great is
that he is the final boss of

79
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,240
Mexico.
He is the final thing you're

80
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,960
going to encounter.
So you should spend all of your

81
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,000
points on.
Perfect.

82
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:12,400
You're full of shit, Daniel.
I I'm just cautioning could be a

83
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,760
good use of scuffling points.
You might want to save your,

84
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:15,880
that's all.
I'm.

85
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,320
Saying what skills are people
trying to use here anyway?

86
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,360
What's the plan?
What's anyone's plan Plan?

87
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:31,480
So before I get into the plan
that I actually had in the wide

88
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,760
shot, you see Smalls just kind
of facepalm a little bit and

89
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,000
then look at Kronalov.
It would be in your best

90
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:47,280
interests right now not to
struggle and inject say 1/4 of

91
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:51,400
the syringe into chronolog.
OK, so this was designed to

92
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,000
knock him out.
The intent is only to use a

93
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,040
small amount.
The desired effect would be

94
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,880
making him drop his guard.
OK, I'm going to say this.

95
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,560
That tends to not be how these
things work.

96
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:13,600
However, if you give me a
medicine span of two points, I

97
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,400
will let that work.
Done.

98
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,560
OK.
Now we can freely intimidate him

99
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,640
as we need or.
You know he he snarls a little

100
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,440
bit as that is put into and he
swears in Russian.

101
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,080
Did You Know?
Once he starts to seem a little

102
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,760
groggy, Smalls is just going to
look at JB and Colin.

103
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,400
He's all yours.
Presumably he speaks English,

104
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,720
right?
I'm trying to figure out how to

105
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:50,000
say this word here.
Blast blast is that?

106
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,360
Is that a Russian swear word?
Yes, it is.

107
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,600
I mean, not the way you're
saying it, but yes, it is.

108
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Oh, I.
Suspect it's the way I was

109
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,040
saying.
Blad is the word you're looking

110
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,760
for.
OK, got it.

111
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,960
It means.
When we've reached Klingon,

112
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,080
we've gone too far.
Moving on.

113
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,480
But to answer the initial
question, I am pretty sure it's

114
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,000
been established that Kronalov
does indeed speak English.

115
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,320
Well, that's good.
And maybe a bit of Klingon.

116
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Yeah, and.
Maybe a bit of Klingon.

117
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,800
He's a a fortune teller.
He he knows Klingon from the

118
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,680
future.
Well, they're they're brother

119
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,400
languages, right?
OK, so he's a little bit loopy,

120
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,880
but still resistant, just sort
of sitting here.

121
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,480
You notice that he sort of like
cracked his neck.

122
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,320
He's just giving you a cold flat
stand.

123
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,880
Did you mean he is hanging in my
arms?

124
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,320
I mean, he's not knocked out.
No, but I still have him.

125
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,520
Well, he's not giving you a
stare because you're like the

126
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,480
way you're holding it.
That probably doesn't work, but.

127
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,080
Yeah, I'm like gently breathing
in his hair.

128
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:54,960
Oh.
He has a.

129
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Shake all right.
OK, I'm looking at my reflection

130
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,280
in his head.
Oh my God, He.

131
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,640
Has a.
Little So Jesus Christ, I we've

132
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,720
got a lot of information about
our target.

133
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,720
Let's start with where a coronal
law fits into all this, right?

134
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,800
Because there's a lot of
information and I don't remember

135
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,200
most of it.
So first of all, what do we

136
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,720
know?
So what can we ask him?

137
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,200
What's happening on Corkery
Island?

138
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,040
That is a great question to
start with.

139
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,760
That's the first thing to say to
him.

140
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,840
Yeah.
His eyes go wider than they

141
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,400
probably should.
He's surprised by that, that bet

142
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,400
you to get that.
And then he says never heard.

143
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:47,920
Oh, I wonder if assess honesty
pings here.

144
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,360
I don't.
Feel like I need to point it

145
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,440
out.
Yes, assess honesty.

146
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,040
He's clearly lying.
Buddy, we, we drugged you

147
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,840
specifically so you'd be worse
at lying to us.

148
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,920
You're gonna have to be at least
a little honest with us, man.

149
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:08,000
Yeah, I'm playing good cop out
of character.

150
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,840
I'm I'm playing good cop.
That way everybody else who

151
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,200
drugged him has a gun to shoot
him and is choking him.

152
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:22,400
Kind of triple bad cop.
You work for Trammell, you know

153
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,400
what goes on there.
Well, it's been a while since

154
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,960
Trammell heard from Brooks.
He's wondering exactly what he's

155
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,320
getting up to without this
oversight.

156
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,040
Things seem to have gone off the
rails down here.

157
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:39,040
Brooks has not been to that I.
But he sent someone else to go.

158
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,440
Coronelot sort of tilts his head
to the side.

159
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,520
I don't think you know what the.
Shit, he's on to us.

160
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,800
I mean, unfortunately he's
right.

161
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,640
We have no fucking idea what
he's what, what's going on here

162
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,120
so.
So how's about you explain it to

163
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,920
us then?
And they gently crack his neck

164
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:04,240
for him.
Oh, that sounded odd.

165
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,120
You worked for Trammell, I
worked for Brooks.

166
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,280
We are go on the same side.
Misunderstand happened.

167
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,840
Look, look at the truck.
And he sort of gestures with his

168
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,440
cuffed hands towards the truck.
I look at the truck.

169
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,440
I yeah, I I take a look at the
truck.

170
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,560
That is our entire nectar
supply.

171
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,080
Oh shit.
We're in a secret warehouse.

172
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,080
Did you not see this coming?
I really should have seen this

173
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,720
coming.
Hey, Dan.

174
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,640
Difficulty 5 as I recall.
Yes, difficulty 5.

175
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,480
And I I have the stability of -4
right now, so.

176
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,280
Oh no.
Fun.

177
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,640
Hail Mary, it's a four.
Not bad.

178
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,440
You got to check that shit out.
It's been a while since

179
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:08,040
Offensive goddamn Decker.
JB Hey, JB, you Are you sure you

180
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,600
want to do this?
That is what the role has

181
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,280
established.
I want to do this, yeah.

182
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,480
If somebody else wants to stop
me, feel free to go ahead

183
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,480
Smalls, but everybody else is a
little busy.

184
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:29,520
Smalls.
Fuck it, we.

185
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,640
Ball as the person playing the
character, you have my full

186
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:39,520
permission.
OK, so Smalls is going to rush

187
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:45,800
up behind JB, grab him and give
him a little poke.

188
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:55,800
OK, So do you want to just give
him a little poke or would you

189
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,840
like to spend the point of
medicine to make sure that this

190
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,120
poke is not too dangerous?
Well.

191
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,040
Obviously.
Yeah, you're not going to kill

192
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,480
him, but.
Yeah, I'll spend the, I'll spend

193
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,840
the point of medicine that
that's, that's not a problem.

194
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,640
That's one of the skills that I
got that I never get to use

195
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:11,800
anyway.
So.

196
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,320
OK, how many points do you have?
You spent three now.

197
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,400
I have 6.
Jesus Christ, we need to talk

198
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,000
about this.
Spreading out your points, baby.

199
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,840
But hell, I guess it works OK.
Yeah, I.

200
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,880
Was gonna say maybe if you had
some.

201
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,120
Points of a cold it would have
been handy or architect, no?

202
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,400
She's a she's a doctor.
Come on.

203
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,000
Yeah.
All right, so J PS out cold.

204
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,720
What's in the syringe?
Colin looks at Colonel of and

205
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,800
says, I feel like things may
have gotten a little out of

206
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,320
control here.
Yeah.

207
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,080
So now that J VS Unconscious,
I'm going to spend the rest of

208
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,680
the recording writing this.
Revolutionary girl.

209
00:12:56,680 --> 00:13:02,360
Attain a fan fiction night girl.
If the interview with Cronal off

210
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,120
should not take the entire
episode.

211
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,280
I don't know, we're all pretty
sleepy.

212
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,520
That's.
What you think?

213
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,880
Too.
I mean, it shouldn't.

214
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,920
It's.
Going to get edited down to like

215
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,320
10 minutes of this right?
We drugged you specifically so

216
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,560
you'd be worse at lying to us.
You can say the C word.

217
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:23,800
That's the first thing to say to
him.

218
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,000
What's the plan?
What's anyone's plan?

219
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,720
I'm just intimidating Colonel
Law.

220
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,920
I don't think you know what
you're talking about.

221
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,840
Shit, he's on to us.
I gently crack his neck and I.

222
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,840
Don't know if you want to spend
your scuffling points on that.

223
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:41,280
Done to answer your question.
Just decide it, trust me, I'm a

224
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,760
doctor.
Sure.

225
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,560
No, no.
I mean, yeah, OK, yes, I'm just

226
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:52,040
a little bit concerned.
Now somebody else got to play

227
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,000
good cop.
He'll be fine.

228
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,960
OK.
Now, Mr. Kronelov, you said this

229
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:05,560
is yours and Brooks's full
supply of nectar.

230
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,920
I did not say it was Brooks.
Regardless, I work for myself.

231
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,840
Out of character, Did he not say
that he worked for Brooks

232
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,920
earlier or am I just?
He did say.

233
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,160
OK, Brooks, I'm not crazy.
OK, right.

234
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Simple solution, no one else is
here.

235
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:32,120
You take as much nectar as you
need and I drive away.

236
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:39,560
And where do you drive to?
Los Angeles to bring to Trammel,

237
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,720
Yeah.
Besides honesty, I.

238
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,120
Mean he's seeing the way things
are going.

239
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,640
He definitely was going to bring
some of it to Trammel as a peace

240
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,600
offering.
Interesting, I just want to fuck

241
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:03,880
with Trammel so much.
Our nectar is different than

242
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,760
what they get from Malta.
Oh, you haven't heard the news?

243
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,080
What?
They had some issues with

244
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,320
production.
Whole thing got blown to hell.

245
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,040
Blown to hell?
Now Mr. Trammell's taking stock

246
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,400
of his holdings, and having not
heard from Mr. Brooks for so

247
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,560
long, he's going to take a
firmer hand than things.

248
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,760
I've sampled some of the shit
from Malta and some of it from

249
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,440
Bangkok and it's a different
high each time, but this stuff,

250
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,280
it's a loose mellow.
Huh.

251
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,280
Turning into Watto, it's a
Lewis, it's a mellow, makes you

252
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,480
want to listen to music.
It's just part.

253
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,440
Damn it.
Yes, he's talking about it.

254
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,800
And JB's unconscious body is
slowly inching towards the

255
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:56,320
supply.
Oh.

256
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,440
Boy.
I don't think that's how that

257
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,160
works.
Do what you need to do.

258
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,880
Well, do you know where Brooks
is?

259
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,920
He's been looking for him for a
while now.

260
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:16,000
Brooks has his birds everywhere,
and Brooks is no longer in

261
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,320
shock.
You may think he is, but it's

262
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,960
that wife of his that rugs I
don't like.

263
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,760
How come?
She's a fucking monster.

264
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,800
Well, I guess we'll take a
couple cases and send you on

265
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,120
your way.
The police are looking for you

266
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,440
though, so you better drive
fast.

267
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,120
We can just take him to the
cops.

268
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,840
I will tell them that you're
working for the colt.

269
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,240
Which who?
Trammell.

270
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,960
Yes.
Well, Trammell knows.

271
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,560
Who do you think did this waves
non hand round?

272
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,760
Yes, but the police do not.
You bring me to the police.

273
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,040
I tell them that you are working
for the Colt.

274
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,360
That doesn't help any of them.
No, of course not.

275
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,680
I have a lot of reason for you
not to kill, but it would help

276
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,960
you too.
You don't even know about

277
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,359
Savitri and the island.
You didn't even know what was

278
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,800
going on.
You don't know shit.

279
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,640
Well, the left hand doesn't know
where the right hand is at all

280
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,040
times.
Are you just going to do hand

281
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,480
funds?
But no, that's the thing, people

282
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,400
say no.
No.

283
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:19,480
No, it's.
Not it is.

284
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,599
How about this?
How about this?

285
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,800
Give me $1000.
I'll tell you what.

286
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,960
Well, Del Toro did say that kind
of have an answer to money.

287
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,400
I think maybe we should haggle
though.

288
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,840
I'll give you 80 bucks.
No that.

289
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:42,680
That is $80 American.
I have powerful friends.

290
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,080
Not Brooks.
Brooks is not my friend.

291
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,200
I need more than that.
All right, Colin goes through

292
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,280
his wallet, counts out all the
money he has.

293
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,160
All right, I'll give you
everything.

294
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:59,080
I have $28.00.
Mr. Cronulla, how are you liking

295
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,800
how you feel, right?
The man I sent away so I could

296
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,360
sneak out with the drugs.
We'll be coming back soon and

297
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:11,120
they will kill you.
Give me $1000.

298
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,000
I drop him on the ground, put my
foot on his throat, grab my

299
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,400
shotgun and point it at his
groin.

300
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,680
I'm going to give you to the
count of three.

301
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:25,960
Intimidation does not work. 1.
On a man like me, I'm not afraid

302
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,840
of you.
I cock my shotgun cock 2.

303
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,240
Not for long.
I can tell you what you need to

304
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:43,640
know, but I cannot do it safely
unless you give me the money to

305
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,920
flee the country.
I should within half an inch of

306
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,560
the inseam of his pants.
That was 2 1/2.

307
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:55,520
How about $500 in your
testicles?

308
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,840
Deal.
OK.

309
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,040
How much of A credit credit
rating spend is 500?

310
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,080
I think that's a three credit.
Well I have credit rating 4.

311
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:17,240
Brooks's studio is underneath
the ruined Hacienda and a large

312
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,760
house, and he gives you an
address.

313
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,760
Beautiful.
It's over an Aztec temple.

314
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,200
Don't know how you'll kill
Brooks.

315
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,360
A bullet.
His wife is the thing that you

316
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,360
need to worry about.
She gets into people's heads.

317
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,640
Well, we have our ways.
Cracks knuckle somehow.

318
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:47,920
I have been paid by Savitry in
Bangkok to keep an eye on

319
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:53,120
Brooks.
She does not trust him and she

320
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:58,240
knows he has found a ruin of
great power on the Yucatan

321
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,040
Peninsula.
I have been trying to find the

322
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,840
location of that ruin and seeing
if I can take it for her.

323
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,560
She believes that she should run
the cult, not Trammell.

324
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:15,800
And what do you believe?
I believe that I like drugs and

325
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,480
money.
Quite a sticky situation with

326
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,360
the cult right now.
I believe that Montgomery in

327
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,800
Malta doesn't have the stones
for it.

328
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:30,520
Not anymore.
Oh, right, he said he was.

329
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:34,240
Did you kill him?
The things we did definitely got

330
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,320
him killed.
His second in command might be

331
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:42,160
more dangerous than he was.
That seems to be going around.

332
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,160
Yes it does actually.
It's all a bunch of lies.

333
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,400
It's all built on lies.
Well, gentlemen, I, I'm going to

334
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,800
collect our associate here and
go get some fresh air.

335
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,080
I will see you too in a few
moments.

336
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,160
Yes, OK.
Sounds good.

337
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,480
But yeah, take JB out of there
and leave ferns and call into

338
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,400
their own devices for a few
minutes.

339
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,520
Russell, what do you think?
Well, I think we'd take a couple

340
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,560
crates off this truck, leave
them around so the police find

341
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,920
something, and we send Mr.
Kronelov on his way.

342
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,560
Oh here, take this as a
consolation prize, Tommy Gun.

343
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,080
Fine, I'll take the gun.
Please let me go now.

344
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,280
I kick him in the balls no
harder than that.

345
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,120
Get your wife in there.
You're supposed to be method

346
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,520
Colin Takes a couple of crates
of nectar off the truck, puts

347
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,600
them in a corner somewhere,
absolutely drops at least one.

348
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,840
Yeah, all right, fuck off you
cummy bastard.

349
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,640
Another gun.
Come on.

350
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:58,520
And he hops in the car and
drives off.

351
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,560
His house is built on a hill of
sorts.

352
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,880
This opens up sort of a secret
wall related to actually just

353
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,960
into the street of another St.
And he sort of drives out.

354
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,040
I hope he goes to talk to
Trammell and thoroughly confuses

355
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,760
him.
Might as well introduce our own

356
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,040
license to this whole thing,
Matt.

357
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,880
Oh, can I flashback real quick?
Maybe I would like to give him

358
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,880
that letter from Brooks to
Trammell.

359
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:28,080
Oh, the one that says I hate you
used to.

360
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:34,680
Yeah, yes.
We're just stirring this shit.

361
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,760
Absolutely.
I love it here.

362
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,400
OK, I'm going to go check on JB.
How is he doing?

363
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,760
JB he's, he's coming too slowly.
Difficulty freeze on trouble

364
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:49,920
checks.
Oh.

365
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,600
Come fuck on.
You know what?

366
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,640
Fuck it, I'm spending two.
OK, the goons are coming back.

367
00:22:58,120 --> 00:22:59,480
That makes sense.
OK, time to go.

368
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,200
Time to leave.
Time to leave.

369
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,360
Time to leave.
Yeah, I cradle JB, lift them

370
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:06,840
like a feather and book it
towards the car.

371
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,440
They're like between Is it the
thing if you recall?

372
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,800
Wait, what?
All right, this is how we die.

373
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,320
How much ammo does the Tommy gun
have?

374
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,400
I will say you will run out of
ammo for the Tommy gun because

375
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,240
you only have the drum.
Like you don't have any more

376
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,320
ammo now there's 100 rounds of
the drum bag but that also he

377
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,240
fired some.
Yes, yeah, part of that magazine

378
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,840
is in me right now.
Yes, exactly.

379
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,160
Should I open fire?
What do you think?

380
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,600
Well, we could try diplomacy.
For real.

381
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,680
It's always an option.
I will note the secret garage

382
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,840
that Ronalov drove out of does
not meet up with the sort of

383
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,840
upper level gate it goes out of
back.

384
00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:58,760
Gotcha.
Yeah.

385
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:04,040
We could try some bullshit or
like he, he's not here.

386
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,000
He got in that way.
Or we could go out through the

387
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,200
carport.
Fine.

388
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:10,520
We could just leave the back
way.

389
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,200
Yeah, we, we could.
Yeah, let's go out the back way.

390
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,440
Yeah, I pick up JB like a
feather.

391
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,320
I head towards the gate.
I see the goon.

392
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:24,800
I turn on my heel and.
Go back down the stairs.

393
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,600
Down to the.
Base I I'm doing like hand

394
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,200
blinders on JB so he doesn't see
the nectar.

395
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,520
OK, see this.
I can't think I was going to

396
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,440
talk.
About no see, I OK, yeah and.

397
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,760
It's like what the fuck?
Because you have established

398
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,920
that you left two crates of
nectar out.

399
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,720
Yeah.
You cover my eyes and I'm like,

400
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,840
Oh my God, what's happening?
Where is what happened?

401
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,160
Is the nectar gone?
The nectar's all gone.

402
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,120
It's just a ghost that I'm not
letting you see.

403
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,840
What?
J BS.

404
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,920
Too confused 3 stability check.
Oh fuck you, because.

405
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:02,200
You're a little drugged, but
you're not that.

406
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,240
I succeed at that time.
Yay.

407
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:13,920
Maybe you are that stupid.
You were on a random St. in

408
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,880
Mexico City.
All right, I guess we got to

409
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:22,280
find our car.
Or how far away was the?

410
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,600
It's about half a mile to the
compound that's walkable.

411
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,600
You mean the address that
Cromwell gave us?

412
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,720
Yes.
Well, shall we?

413
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,800
I say let's.
Sure, I'd start walking down the

414
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,000
street still carrying JB.
You can set me down, you know.

415
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,800
I'm.
I'm OK now, I promise.

416
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,040
Oh, I know.
I don't know why I thought life

417
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,640
would ever afford me dignity.
It's never done it before,

418
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,240
probably never going to do it
again.

419
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,880
So.
Tullen Dodd, Sagely.

420
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,880
I turn like beet red in the face
and put you down.

421
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,640
Thank you.
As you approach, you see that

422
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,080
there are a trio of police cars
parked outside.

423
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,360
Do not see anyone in.
Oh, unfortunate.

424
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:16,560
Yeah.
All right.

425
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:23,400
Is there a donut shop nearby?
No, they must be in there then.

426
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,480
Oh wait, we're in Mexico.
Churros.

427
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,520
See, I considered making that
comment, but then thought better

428
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,200
of it.
And I didn't.

429
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,920
The one thing we can be sure of
is that one of us will always

430
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,800
say the dumb thing.
It's usually either me or you.

431
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:51,040
Yeah, try not to name names.
That's OK, we all already knew.

432
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,720
Yeah.
Anyway.

433
00:26:55,120 --> 00:27:00,720
Well, I charge in guns blazing.
Oh God, but down we go.

434
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,160
Usually implies a little slower
than that, but OK, I guess this

435
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,280
is happening.
They are pulled up in front of

436
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,880
the ruins of a old Mexican
estate, Hacienda.

437
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,080
The door is open a crack.
All right, here we go.

438
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,520
Who goes in first?
How we doing?

439
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,680
I I will actually go in first
are.

440
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,880
You sure I.
Was going to say Colin did say

441
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,560
I'm going in guns blazing.
Today is a good day to die.

442
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:37,000
No, if you die, JB will be the
only remaining member of the

443
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,280
original team.
Yeah, Yep.

444
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,160
Arguably the original team
mostly got wiped out when they

445
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,800
went after a cavalry.
You're already kind of the

446
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,840
second.
Wow, yeah, good point.

447
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:53,120
You know what I meant.
Besides, we all know that JB is

448
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:54,280
next.
What?

449
00:27:55,040 --> 00:28:00,880
Yeah, probably.
No, no, we want JB to survive

450
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,880
this saying.
Just dramatized.

451
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,120
And filled with regret.
Yeah.

452
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,520
Well, I'm already one of those
things.

453
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,160
OK, so.
Colin goes in first.

454
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:20,080
What do his Colin eyes see?
As you push the door open, you

455
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:25,800
see evidence of a gunfight.
One shot Mexican police officer

456
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,560
and four dead, presumably
cultist goops.

457
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,720
OK, he's not Gomez, is it?
He's got big, soft, strong

458
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,640
hands.
He does, yes.

459
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,120
You don't recognize this one,
OK.

460
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,960
Different hands.
But not Blanco.

461
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,480
But he is dead.
Yes, they're dead.

462
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,160
All right.
That's just about what I

463
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,400
expected.
I don't have it on my sheet that

464
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,240
I have a firearm.
It's not being established.

465
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,800
I did want to obtain one at some
point.

466
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,880
I will take the officer's
weapon.

467
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,800
Yeah.
I have no skill in firearms, so

468
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,880
I'm just going to stand behind
you guys.

469
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,320
It's a light revolver, like,
plus zero damage, yeah.

470
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,320
While we're on the subject, what
kind of damage does a Tommy gun

471
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,880
do?
Plus one OK, However I am

472
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,800
holding the fact that you're not
going to be able to fire it

473
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,480
forever.
Hopefully long enough.

474
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,640
I mean, hopefully I can always
get more ammo.

475
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,560
We descend the 5000 steps down
into the depths of madness.

476
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,400
Yeah, I mean, I didn't say there
were 5000 steps leading into

477
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,320
Vadnais, but.
I assumed.

478
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,640
I mean, yeah.
What else is there?

479
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,360
You see there is a staircase
leading downwards.

480
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:41,000
It seems to have been carved by
hand after it goes down a little

481
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,200
ways.
While initially it looks like

482
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,360
carved, you know, looking old,
tiny or whatever, as you get

483
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,720
further down you see that it
opens up in a underground

484
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,800
hallway that is much more modern
looking.

485
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,320
It has electric lights and the
floor is no longer made of

486
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,800
stone.
He has put tile floor on the

487
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,760
ground.
Fancy.

488
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,720
Yes.
Yeah, that Brooks is his fancy

489
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,920
boy.
Now, is there anything else you

490
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,360
want to do before we continue
on?

491
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,760
This is your last chance to
there's anything you want to

492
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,720
say, anything you want to prep,
anything like that.

493
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,520
I go back to town and do all the
side quests.

494
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,840
OK any anything else?
Any other ideas?

495
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,280
OK.
I don't like how excited you

496
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,240
are.
I've given you the chance to put

497
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,800
in the earplugs.
You will not put in the

498
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:32,920
earplugs.
Oh, right, fine.

499
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,440
Yeah.
Well, the earplugs definitely

500
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,240
are going in, yeah.
No, no, they did not go in.

501
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,960
I explicitly asked you, is there
anything that you want to do

502
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,960
before you go in.
I waited an extra long time.

503
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,120
I said is there anything else
you want to do?

504
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,720
And there were no earplugs.
We were doing bits.

505
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,960
God, I do respect a bit.
We're putting in earplugs.

506
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,800
Yeah, I asked Smalls for some of
his balls.

507
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,440
Everybody's taken aback for a
moment.

508
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,200
I clarify.
Cotton balls.

509
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,280
Unfortunately, it is too late
because you start hearing.

510
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,560
You're too late.
You start hearing.

511
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,920
We don't need earplugs if we
keep interrupting him.

512
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:28,440
That's how you cause rocks fall.
Perhaps it's a different song

513
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,240
this time.
Again, they all kind of sound

514
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,840
the same.
Honestly, I'm not sure this is a

515
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,280
great record that they're making
down here.

516
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,920
It seems like the songs all
sound really similar.

517
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,400
They're all just a little bit
different.

518
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,160
The lyrics change kind of a
little bit.

519
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,600
I need everybody to make
stability tests.

520
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,040
Difficulty 3.
Unless you've previously

521
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,480
succumbed, you need to make it a
difficulty 4.

522
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,440
No loss.
No loss, but something else can

523
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,520
happen.
Yeah.

524
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,800
I have one stability so I can't
really spend points here.

525
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,120
OK I rolled A2 and now Nathan in
real life is having a panic

526
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,520
attack so just give me a second.
I rolled A5 color.

527
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,520
Most stable dude ever.
I'm a spend a point.

528
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,280
Me too.
Ha ha, I'm glad I spent a point.

529
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000
What's happening to JB?
JB is the only one who failed,

530
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,240
yeah.
Yeah, I am Daniel.

531
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,080
I sure AM.
So JB, I got two things for you.

532
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:32,320
Uh huh. 1 you now have received
a post hypnotic suggestion to

533
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,680
immediately take if you have it,
or seek out another dose of

534
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,640
Nectar.
So the next time you see Nectar,

535
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,920
you're going to need to make a
crazy high check to resist it.

536
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,360
Of course.
Second, you have a memory.

537
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,640
Uh oh.
What?

538
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,480
You remember something that you
did last night.

539
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,080
You woke up in the middle of the
night.

540
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,720
Was it in the middle of the
night?

541
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,240
You're not quite sure.
When you did it and you drew a

542
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:06,000
charcoal image of a mountain.
You started drawing an

543
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,080
incredibly detailed image of a
mountain in charcoal, and you

544
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:15,240
drew a huge gash, a rift in the
side of it.

545
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,800
I need you to make a difficulty
2 stability test.

546
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:25,160
OK well I got the 2 so.
OK, so you do not start

547
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,360
compulsively drawing this thing,
and as you think about it, you

548
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:35,360
realize, no, you didn't do this,
but you're remembering it as if

549
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,800
you did it.
The rest of you is a little bit

550
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,400
of you that feels like you're
trying to remember something

551
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,240
that happened.
If you'd like, you could give

552
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,240
yourself up and just remember
the thing that it's telling you,

553
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,920
but I suspect you may not want
to do that.

554
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,760
How about instead we actually do
put in earplugs this time?

555
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,960
Yeah, now we're putting in
earplugs.

556
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,880
I look at JB.
Are you all right?

557
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,440
You.
You don't look so good.

558
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:05,640
I don't feel so good.
I saw a vision of me drawing a

559
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,920
mountain with a mouth.
Fuck, it didn't happen.

560
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,840
It didn't happen.
It did not happen.

561
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,040
You feel like you could describe
this perfectly if somebody

562
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,520
wanted to draw the thing that
you were just drawing in your

563
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,080
memory.
Yeah, Oh well, that can wait.

564
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,320
It might not be the time for it.
Yeah.

565
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,000
Could you draw it?
Hey, Russell.

566
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,840
Hello.
I'm going to kill you in real

567
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,520
life one of these days.
You'll have to beat Renee to it.

568
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,080
You have put in these cotton
balls to stop yourself from

569
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,239
hearing.
I am going to say that that

570
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,080
first of all is going to make
some it's going to make it more

571
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:46,800
difficult to make sense trouble
checks and to communicate with

572
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,679
one another.
Obviously.

573
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,520
OK, you see a hallway leading
forward.

574
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,440
You also see that there are
speakers all over the walls

575
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,240
here.
It seems like this might have

576
00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:00,680
been the thing he was spending
the most money on is just

577
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,920
getting speakers in here.
Well, I'll disconnect those as I

578
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,120
go if there's exposed wires.
Yeah, I was about to say the

579
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:13,040
same.
You continue down this path with

580
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,760
the flickering lights above you.
The music is theoretically

581
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,280
playing.
You can't hear it though.

582
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:21,360
Maybe the song, maybe it's
changed to a different song now,

583
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,280
even you're not quite sure.
As you continue, you see that

584
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:30,920
the hallway continues further
forward, but you also see a

585
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:36,320
large metal door on your.
Left I'll motion that I'm going

586
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,720
to check this door.
I'll motion that I cover.

587
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,960
Smalls gives 2 thumbs up.
I look confused, I personally.

588
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:51,960
JB also gives 2 thumbs up.
You open the door and it is the

589
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,520
control room of a recording
booth.

590
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,680
As you go inside you look to the
left and you look to the right

591
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:05,080
and you see two glass windows
showing 2 studios with

592
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:10,480
microphones and stuff set up.
On the right you just see a

593
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,920
microphone and you also see that
there is a black curtain that

594
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,920
could be pulled to cover the
window.

595
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:20,800
And on the left you see a drum
set, a guitar, you know,

596
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,480
instruments and stuff.
But I suppose I shouldn't

597
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,840
mention all of that, because the
thing you probably noticed first

598
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,720
is the dead bodies on the floor.
Oh yeah, no, that would be the

599
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:32,640
first thing.
That's probably the first thing

600
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,440
you notice.
The smell of gunpowder is

601
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,600
something you notice, maybe more
so now that you can't hear

602
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:43,920
anything and you see that there
are 5 Mexican police officers,

603
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,480
all dead.
Any of them familiar do?

604
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,200
You want to start turning over
bodies.

605
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,080
Is there a red shirt amongst
them?

606
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:53,600
Soft hands.
Pig soft, strong, lovely

607
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,920
smelling hands.
I know you were worried that you

608
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,480
were going to see Detective
Gomez.

609
00:36:57,720 --> 00:37:02,280
You could not appear to be here,
however, Officer Blanco.

610
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,720
Unfortunate.
Does it look like they all shot

611
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:09,280
each other?
It absolutely does.

612
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,680
Yeah, that makes sense.
Wonderful.

613
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,440
Let's get out of here.
There is a door that leads

614
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:22,200
deeper into this area, past the
sort of board where you would be

615
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,320
checking the levels and such.
Or you could go back out to the

616
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,560
hallway.
I would like to take a look at

617
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,920
the board for a minute.
Does it look like it's connected

618
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,520
to the speakers outside?
It does not, at least not

619
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,600
immediately.
I don't know what you know about

620
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,720
fucking recording equipment and
speakers, but just sort of a

621
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:41,080
glance at it, it doesn't look
like it's connected, but you

622
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,920
don't really know much.
And it's not like you could

623
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,280
listen to it or like change the
levels to see if it changes

624
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,280
anything about the music that's
playing or anything.

625
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,520
I mean, you could take out, you
know, what are your cotton balls

626
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,720
and listen to what's.
Going well, I mean now the

627
00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:58,680
labels on the the board, are
they in English or they are they

628
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,280
in Spanish?
They are in Spanish and somebody

629
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,600
has put tape over the Spanish
and written what it means in

630
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:09,760
English on most of it.
And there's nothing like connect

631
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,520
to auxiliary speakers or
anything like that.

632
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,320
Not that you can see.
OK, I would like to take this

633
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,920
opportunity before shit has
entirely hit the fan for us at

634
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,320
least to turn the 2 bottles of
tequila I have into molotovs.

635
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,640
Probably a good idea.
I'll offer around if someone

636
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,880
wants to take a swig because I
got to get a little out of there

637
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,440
to put the rag in.
I'm good, thanks.

638
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,760
I'll take a drink, sure.
Over these bodies.

639
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,200
Yeah, pour one out for the for
the cops.

640
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,240
Yeah, there you go.
OK, you've prepped 2 molotovs.

641
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,480
All right.
I opened the door.

642
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,360
Oh, why would you say it like
that?

643
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,960
It is just another hallway.
There's a door on your left and

644
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,520
your right, I guess maybe
leading into the studio rooms.

645
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,600
There's a little opening to the
left with sort of a beaded

646
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,840
curtain and a door going
forward.

647
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,160
This place is a maze.
I look expectantly at Colin.

648
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,720
Yeah, beaded curtain it is.
It appears to be a small

649
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:14,200
kitchen.
Molotov, Molotov.

650
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,240
No, don't Molotov the kitchen.
Hold on, are there any bottles

651
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,440
of tequila in the kitchen?
They have been drunk.

652
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,320
Damn, what sort of stove is it?
This is not just a stupid

653
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,840
question to trip you up.
No, no, I see what you're

654
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,040
saying.
You know what?

655
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,600
It seems like it's a really old
stove.

656
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,840
It's a wood burning.
Wow, sadly we cannot use this

657
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,640
stove to blow this place up.
Love where your head's at

658
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:42,760
though.
OK.

659
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,920
Oh.
Oh I know this might be getting

660
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:57,600
a little repetitive and old, but
JB, you notice that there is

661
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,280
definitely some nectar on a side
table.

662
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,520
Other people can make sense
trouble checks to notice it

663
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,840
before JB does.
Yep.

664
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,640
But JB, you notice it.
And also, with people's ears

665
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,120
plugged up, you know it's going
to be harder to immediately

666
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,720
notice what's going on.
What's the difficulty?

667
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,640
If you were not doing something
else.

668
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,880
I was checking out the stove.
Difficulty for sense trouble.

669
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,360
Bucket we ball.
And.

670
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:28,920
I failed.
What's the stability check for

671
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,480
me?
Or do I just lose?

672
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:36,640
Difficulty 6. 6.
OK, so you see it before me.

673
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,000
Or do I notice that he notices?
You notice that he notices.

674
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,720
OK, before anything happens,
Hail Mary.

675
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:46,760
No.
So.

676
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:49,880
That's a two that is very much
A2.

677
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,040
Yeah.
I make a dive for the nectar.

678
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,240
OK.
I I I need a Xanax?

679
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,120
I need both of you to make
athletics checks to see who gets

680
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,840
there first.
Opposed athletics checks.

681
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,440
All right, we hit enter at the
same time.

682
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,280
Yeah.
OK on 3123.

683
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,000
Hey everyone, we here at Daniels
Dread Tails have a Patreon now.

684
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,200
It's got multiple tiers in
everything.

685
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,760
Even our lowest tier, Resident
of the Forbidden Zone, gets you

686
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,160
access to GM notes and
unreleased content.

687
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,440
It's good stuff.
The next one up, Resident of New

688
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,120
Hell Mouth adds shout outs on
the show, the ability to name

689
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:36,120
characters, raw mixes of the new
episodes, and our behind the

690
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,360
scenes Discord channel.
And finally, the highest tier

691
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:43,960
Angry Clockwork Wife lets you
join in on our monthly streams

692
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,600
and be introduced as an Angry
Clockwork Wife if that's what

693
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,200
you're into.
So please, if any of that sounds

694
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,800
appealing to you, then join up.
We'd love to have you and your

695
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,280
money too much.
Fair enough.

696
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,560
All the same, do consider.
Thanks for listening and back to

697
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:04,440
the show free.
Wow.

698
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,680
That was close.
Closer than it should have been,

699
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:11,000
Yeah.
Oh my.

700
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,920
God, So what?
Happened was 3.

701
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,400
Yeah, Nathan rolled the two and
Renee rolled the one, but Renee

702
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,320
also spent two points, so it's a
3.

703
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,040
Yeah.
So I, I kind of imagine what

704
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,760
these roles like, we, we like
fight for it, kinda like fumble

705
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,040
with it.
It it's not graceful at all.

706
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,920
Nobody really wins, it just
falls out of their hands and

707
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,440
shatters on the ground.
Please don't lick it off the

708
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,200
floor.
You're going to lick some of it

709
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,320
off more.
Nope, Grapple you'll.

710
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,920
Probably find a sound effect for
that.

711
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,360
Got to drag me out of the room.
Yeah, I, yeah, I, yeah, I

712
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,440
absolutely do that.
While those two are busy, I need

713
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,240
the other two of you to make
sense.

714
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:01,400
Trouble checks difficulty 4
because your ears are plugged

715
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,920
up.
This is so stressful.

716
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,480
Yeah, you've entered into the
Colt Stronghold, and while you

717
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,120
haven't seen any living people
yet, you know it's bad.

718
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,200
OK, I'm a spend 2 points.
I did as well and rolled in

719
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,240
eight.
I rolled A4.

720
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,520
OK, all right.
A trio of goons have come up

721
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:29,000
some stairs outside and you
realize moments before they kick

722
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,040
down the door you see the door
moving as they are sort of

723
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,480
checking around.
So you 2 have moments to react

724
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:41,440
as the door leading further into
the whatever is kicked down.

725
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,720
Well, the obvious move is to
thread all small so it looks

726
00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:47,560
like we are all raptured in the
fight song.

727
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,680
OK, before that.
A facet.

728
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,720
I mean, that's an interesting
idea because the other two of

729
00:43:54,720 --> 00:44:00,600
you were also fighting.
Yeah, before that, is there like

730
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,000
a piece of light furniture
within arm's reach of smalls if.

731
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,600
You're more in the kitchen and
further away from the door, yes.

732
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:13,520
OK, Smalls is going to grab a
chair and take a couple of steps

733
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,600
and launch it at these guys that
are coming through the door.

734
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,680
I know it's not gonna do much
other than be a distraction and

735
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,400
probably confuse the piss out of
them, but it's at least

736
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,040
something.
OK, so you're not going along

737
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,720
with the well, I guess you
wouldn't really be able to

738
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:31,360
communicate with each other, so
Nope.

739
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,680
Athletics.
Sure.

740
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,240
What would my difficulty be,
Sir?

741
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:39,000
For.
I should.

742
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:39,800
Have.
Pissed.

743
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:44,040
Oh, no.
OK.

744
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,280
And then I throttle him.
So I throw a chair.

745
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,120
It doesn't really do anything
but.

746
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:55,600
And then you get fake choked.
Yeah, Oh my God.

747
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,360
OK, two of you are fake
fighting, 2 of you are real

748
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,680
fighting, and the guards have
pulled out their guns and

749
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,200
they're looking at you a little
bit confused.

750
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,880
One of them shout something
you're not sure what they say.

751
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,200
Unfortunate.
How many are there, You said?

752
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:16,320
Three.
One of them yells at you again.

753
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,240
Shit.
I mean, if nobody's gonna act,

754
00:45:20,240 --> 00:45:23,480
I'm gonna shoot.
I mean, I already did something

755
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,320
so.
And I'm in no position to do

756
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:32,200
anything as per usual so.
Can I have JB in one arm and

757
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,720
Tommy gun in the other?
You did not make the sense

758
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:37,400
trouble check.
You were busy with the with the

759
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,360
thing.
So if you like, pull up your gun

760
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,880
and aim it at them.
They already have the drop on

761
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,520
you and all three of them will
shoot it.

762
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,440
I just want you to know that.
What kind of weapons do they

763
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,200
have?
Pistols.

764
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,240
Revolvers, actually.
Oh.

765
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,120
My gosh.
As I imagine that we're closer

766
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,600
to them so a little more danger.
So I'm waiting for an opening.

767
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,560
Yeah, somebody needs to make a
decision or they're going to

768
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:06,840
open fire on all of.
You.

769
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,960
Yeah, OK.
I think I'm going to give you

770
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,560
that opening.
And so back to my original

771
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,320
question, can I have JB in one
arm and my tummy gun in the

772
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,280
other?
It is going to raise the hit

773
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,520
threshold of the targets that
you are shooting at.

774
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:27,240
Fine I I turn so I'm covering JB
with my body and aim the gun at

775
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:28,560
them.
OK.

776
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,680
They are going to shoot at you
first if you are still standing.

777
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,520
Well, you know what, I think you
could probably open fire.

778
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:36,760
We'll deal with that in a
moment.

779
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,480
You mean like we're we're
shooting at each other at the

780
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,120
same time?
More or less, but they're

781
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,280
shooting just a little bit
faster than you.

782
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,200
So three shots against you, each
one's going to spend 2 points.

783
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,480
OK.
What's your hit threshold?

784
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,760
4.
OK.

785
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,840
That's a hit.
I'm going to roll all their

786
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,360
attacks.
That is a super hit.

787
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,120
There are no such thing as super
hits, so.

788
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,880
Super that is also hit.
I'm just going to roll 3D6 for

789
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:14,800
all of their damage here.
Ouch, you take 9 damage as you

790
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,240
are shot 3 times.
I am still standing.

791
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,440
I'm at 1.
Nice.

792
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,320
I'm sure you're also in a lot of
pain.

793
00:47:23,720 --> 00:47:25,960
Oh hell yeah, I'm in a lot of
pain.

794
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:31,360
You keep getting shot today.
Yep, just keep making holes in

795
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,640
me.
Smalls, they shot all his bones

796
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:39,040
out.
You may now shoot at them.

797
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,360
OK, so they would normally have
a hit threshold of three.

798
00:47:43,240 --> 00:47:45,920
They are going to have a hit
threshold of four because you

799
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,000
established that you are both
holding and covering JB.

800
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:55,800
Now to shoot multiple people.
Let me pull up the fucking rules

801
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,080
for this.
Give me a second.

802
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,800
OK, Before you do that, how many
firearms points do you have,

803
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:01,680
Renee?
8.

804
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:07,520
You know what?
OK, if you would like you can

805
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:13,040
spend your entire clip to fire
at Full Auto.

806
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:19,120
If you fire at Full Auto with
your large drum magazine, you

807
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,080
get 3 bonus points to spend on
your attack.

808
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,960
Oh.
That is how Full Auto works,

809
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,760
yes.
That sounds worth it.

810
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,440
Now you will be out of
ammunition.

811
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,800
There's three of them.
I'm at one health.

812
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,440
I need to protect my boyfriend.
I'm going Full Auto.

813
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,680
OK, so their hit threshold is 4
and you're trying to hit more

814
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,880
than one.
Yeah, OK.

815
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:46,800
Yeah.
So the difficulty to hit them

816
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,600
will be 6.
OK.

817
00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:51,320
And they roll once.
You roll once for all of them,

818
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,080
and you have an additional bonus
three points that you just get

819
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,000
to spend automatically.
And you said you have 8 firearms

820
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,960
points.
Yes, Kearns may be brave and

821
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,280
all, but Renee is a coward, so
I'm not going to make it

822
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,600
interesting.
I'm going to spend the three

823
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:14,800
points and then two of my points
and automatically succeed on the

824
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,240
auto.
So in my head I'm imagining like

825
00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:21,920
them just bullets landing in me.
Hold on, hold on.

826
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,400
There is one special rule about
Full Auto that I need to tell

827
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,240
you what If you roll A1, you're
gun jams.

828
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:32,480
But I'm automatically
succeeding.

829
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,480
You still need to roll.
If you roll A1 you're gun jams.

830
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,720
They just roll AD 6 and don't
roll A1.

831
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,360
Fuck, I'm absolutely going to
roll the one.

832
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,480
Just fucking watch me roll the
one.

833
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:46,920
Don't.
No, it's fine.

834
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,720
I this has to go well or I will
scream.

835
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:59,480
OK, hang on.
Yeah, roll ethics.

836
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,280
Fuck off.
Forgot how to type again.

837
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:14,240
No, no, fuck me.
That's a one.

838
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,640
When used on Full Auto, if you
roll a natural one, your gun

839
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,680
jams even if you hit your
target.

840
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,640
So.
So we die.

841
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:25,760
We die.
Colin, hello.

842
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,120
Do you have anything you're
doing?

843
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,720
I am going to tackle someone.
Yeah, I gave you an opening.

844
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:33,200
So fucking go.
Cool, we both had the same plan.

845
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,960
There you go.
We both had the same plan.

846
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:40,880
I mean, they're right in front
of stairs.

847
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,000
You know what I'm going to say?
You could hit one of them before

848
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,320
your gun jams.
Rule the damage for one of them.

849
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,320
You're like a charity case plus
one.

850
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:52,800
You said damage.
Yeah.

851
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:56,360
Yes. 3.
Three damage is enough to kill

852
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,480
these guys.
They are pretty not healthy.

853
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,320
OK.
Because they're not the big

854
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:07,000
threat.
So you start firing madly with

855
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,840
the gun, but either jams or
there was less ammo in it than

856
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,840
you initially thought and you're
only able to shoot one of them.

857
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,320
Now that person is shot dead.
I did something.

858
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,680
And you were going to try to
tackle people.

859
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,280
Tackle time.
OK, hit threshold is 3.

860
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:25,480
Nice.
And are you OK?

861
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:31,280
I've been better.
Yeah, I'm.

862
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:36,040
I'm all right.
I spent two points because I

863
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,280
have a -1 from being one armed
or one handed.

864
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,200
Gotcha.
Roll your damage.

865
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:45,880
Oh, that's three The brass
knuckles.

866
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,120
There came a clutch.
Yeah.

867
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,560
Do you kill this man?
Do you beat him to death?

868
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,840
You know what?
Sure, someone had to do it.

869
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,120
All right, And then we have
Doctor Smalls, so.

870
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:02,440
Doctor Smalls in like high
school and university played a

871
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,200
little bit of football, so he's
going to try and like bowl him

872
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:07,360
over.
Bowl a buffer OK?

873
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,680
So will you allow athletics for
that?

874
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,440
No, this is scuffling.
Check.

875
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:12,840
You're fighting a person head to
head.

876
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:14,720
I'll spend my last scuffling
point.

877
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:20,560
It hits OK roll your damage. -1
or -2. -2 for unarmed I've got

878
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,080
-1 because of the brass
knuckles.

879
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,040
Yeah, I do no damage you.
Do one damage.

880
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,720
You do, you always do one
damage.

881
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:33,560
I've decided that they're not
dead, but you have sort of.

882
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,640
You have tackled them and you're
on them.

883
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,080
They're not going to easily be
able to shoot with their gun.

884
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:42,680
JB snap out of it.
We're getting shot at.

885
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,720
I'm out of line of suck with the
nectar, right?

886
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,600
Yeah, I guess so, yeah.
I'm probably acutely aware of

887
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:56,400
the blood that just hit my face
from Kearns's body, so I'm going

888
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,560
to run up to this last guy and
stab him to death while Smalls

889
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,000
hasn't pinned.
OK.

890
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:06,840
I'll spend 2.
OK, I succeed. 7.

891
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:09,680
OK.
Two damage.

892
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,240
That combined with the punch
before you've killed this man.

893
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,680
That does things to my
stability, doesn't it?

894
00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:19,240
Well, yeah, that all happened so
fast.

895
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:22,000
We didn't make GET to make our
stability checks, but now we're

896
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,200
going to make our stability
checks.

897
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,880
Oh boy.
Thankfully, a human opponent

898
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:30,640
attacks you with intent to kill
and kill somebody in a fight are

899
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,000
the same.
Stability loss of three, so

900
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,480
difficulty 3 potential loss of
three.

901
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,600
Columnist now shaken.
Oh.

902
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,960
I'm fine.
I'm good.

903
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,240
Rolled the fucking one again.
Jesus.

904
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:53,520
Yeah, I I collapse more from
blood loss than anything I'm.

905
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,320
Still, I don't have any points
of first aid left.

906
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,560
I'm in the positives still, so
that's good.

907
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,400
Is this a situation where I can
apply first aid?

908
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,880
Yes, you are not under fire at
the moment.

909
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,400
OK, so you can apply.
I'm going to spend my last three

910
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,560
points to give Kern's six health
back.

911
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:13,520
OK.
I'm at 7.

912
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,200
Thank you.
I can spend 2 unless I can't

913
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,240
because I'm shaking.
No, you can still do it.

914
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:19,560
Oh, OK.
Yeah.

915
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,520
So that'll bring you back to
10/10.

916
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:26,240
Back to 10.
I am so glad that First Aid is

917
00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:28,520
the skill we've all decided to
get.

918
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,760
There was a reason I think
you're all out of first aid

919
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,280
skill now, I believe, yeah.
Oh no, I'm still doing fine.

920
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:38,240
From here on out, we have to.
How do you still have some

921
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,200
Cullen?
I still have 5 points.

922
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,520
I'm stingy with what I actually
use it, so I've still got five

923
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,440
points.
Yeah, OK.

924
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,960
So do I all right?
OK, so yeah, cool.

925
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,000
How does it, how do you guys
patch me up?

926
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,920
But there's bullets in me.
JB is sitting to the side

927
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,120
crying.
Like openly weeping.

928
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,240
Cullen's shaking, so he gets a
Band-Aid out.

929
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:10,800
He's like Poke.
Anybody got any players poop?

930
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,280
I've got a knife I just killed
somebody with.

931
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,840
That might hurt him though.
Poke, yeah.

932
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:23,000
Yeah, I punch.
Fucking throw hands.

933
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,440
Yeah, also this conversation is
going to be difficult to have

934
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,760
because I believe your ears.
Are still.

935
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,320
Yeah, we all.
Yeah, obviously, we're all.

936
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,040
You know, I mean, it'd be easier
if you just take them out is all

937
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,360
I'm going to say.
Shut up.

938
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,600
I've been disabling the speakers
as we go.

939
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,400
We can have a conversation once
in a while.

940
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:43,720
I'm not even making that up.
I said that up top.

941
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:50,840
Yeah, so did I.
You see past these dead thugs,

942
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:57,920
this sort of modern recording
studio was built inside of a

943
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:02,960
much older building.
And it definitely goes along

944
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,760
with the fact that you were told
that this is built on Aztec

945
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:11,920
ruins.
And you see a staircase leading

946
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:16,360
deeper into the complex.
And you also see a tunnel to to

947
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,160
your left that looks like it
also went like through the

948
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:23,520
temple, but it has collapsed.
It baby has always been

949
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,000
collapsed or has been collapsed
for a very long time.

950
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,360
Take the only way forward
possible.

951
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:29,400
Yeah.
All right.

952
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,520
What time is it?
I think it's still a good day to

953
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:44,720
die.
Thanks for listening.

954
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,760
Donovan Smalls was Damien.
JB Faulk was Nathan.

955
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,240
Frank Kerns was Renee.
Daniel was our GM and Colin Kane

956
00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:53,840
was Russell who also mixed
mastered in music this episode.

957
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,440
Our album art is by Trinity the
Tea Time Witch.

958
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,040
Our main theme is by Claire LW
on SoundCloud.

959
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,040
We have a website, Discord and
Patreon if you're so inclined.

960
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,000
Daniel and Nathan have old
podcasts you can check out Wrath

961
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,680
and Story and Forgotten.
There is a Kingdom Hearts

962
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,400
podcast respectively.
Damien has a Twitch channel at

963
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:13,080
twitch.tv/magical Hack and Renee
does so much art stuff I can't

964
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,320
even keep track of it.
I think she's learning sewing

965
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,240
right now.
OK thanks for listening and

966
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,640
until next time, the raw episode
of this one is nearly twice as

967
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,040
long and half as good.
We were sleeping y'all.

968
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:39,520
By the future I mean Star Trek
shows, not the the Super future

969
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,080
where the Federation, you know,
maybe that's what happens in the

970
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:43,560
future.
If you could save the world,

971
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,040
we'll eventually get to Star
Trek Times.

972
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,560
If the world has to be saved by
morons like us, we're definitely

973
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,680
heading for 40K.
That's fair.
