Eternal Lies 27: La Canción de la Muerte

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

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

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

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:19,440
warnings.
Last time on Eternal lies with

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,960
Chronolog in their clutches.
The investigators set to work

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,320
figuring out what to do with
him.

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,440
Kearns found a Tommy gun, JB
valiantly resisted the pull of

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,360
nectar thanks to Small's
involuntary medication, and Kane

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,680
decided to send the goon on his
way, deciding.

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,320
Brooks was close enough to walk
the group.

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Decided to head there next.
Striding through the carnage

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,960
that awaited them, the
investigators dared delve

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,360
deeper, if only to find that
more chaos and bloodshed awaited

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,320
their attention.
The die is cast.

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,880
The pact is sealed.
May God have mercies on our

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,600
souls.
This is Daniel's red tail.

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,640
Looking at my notes and my last
two sentences, at another door

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,960
and out of the hallway, more
doors be the curtain.

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,920
Almost died again.
That's how I remember it.

20
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,800
Yeah, that sounds about right.
That's.

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,360
Yeah, not about track.
Sounds about.

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,080
Right down to One Health again,
and then we patched him back up

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,600
to 10.
And now we still, some people

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,280
still have first aid, so that's
good.

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,200
Yeah, I do.
Yeah.

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,840
So we just have to.
Kern's looking like Joshua

27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Graham from Fallout.
I don't understand that

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,080
reference.
Yeah, it's a long story we'll

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,040
get to anyway.
We don't need to get to it.

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,560
Yeah, we've got a boss fight to
fight.

31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,760
All right, where, where is that
pain in the ass?

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,720
Hello.
The other one.

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,760
So your ears are still shoved up
full of cotton and stuff so you

34
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,360
can't really hear anything.
That does make communicating

35
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,039
with each other more difficult.
You, after you explored the sort

36
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:13,640
of studio space, you moved out
into a ruined chamber.

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,640
Ruined, not meaning that it was
like recently destroyed, but

38
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:20,920
like it was ruins.
And you see a ominous staircase

39
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:24,120
leading downwards, which seems
to be the only way that you

40
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,960
could go deeper.
Anything we want to do before we

41
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,360
go down.
I plugged my ears.

42
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:34,360
No, we already covered that.
We're good.

43
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,560
Yeah.
Just in case remembered it this

44
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,640
time.
Yes.

45
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,840
All of a sudden you hear not.
You don't hear it.

46
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,320
I suppose you wouldn't hear it.
We've established you don't hear

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,080
things.
You feel the entire complex

48
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,560
shake.
It seems to be rocked by an

49
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,720
explosion coming from above.
You actually.

50
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,960
Oh boy.
Yeah, that old familiar feeling.

51
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,640
Well, no other way but down.
I'm sure whatever that was will

52
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:04,800
work itself out.
Shall we?

53
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,000
What?
I'm I make the sign like behind

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,520
me.
No, there's nothing there.

55
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,160
You're fine.
You're trying to do cool

56
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,040
commando signs of like go this
way and whatnot.

57
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,040
Yeah, yeah, I tried, but Colin
doesn't speak that.

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,600
The only person from the
original group that would have

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,560
understood that is currently
dead.

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,760
Yeah.
I like how you say currently

61
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,440
dead as if that's the thing that
can change.

62
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,760
Never know Well, and strangely
it's even death may die so.

63
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,200
I mean finding him would be the
hard part considering.

64
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,200
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm nervous, but I'm not

65
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,800
having a panic attack yet, so
already this is going great,

66
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,320
better than this time.
It's going great.

67
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,560
My my gun, my Tommy gun is
useless.

68
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,520
So I dropped that.
I am holding a Molotov in one

69
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,160
hand and nothing in the other,
presumably.

70
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Yeah, what's the situation
downstairs?

71
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,800
As you descend the stairs you
find yourself at a huge arch

72
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:16,560
chamber, clearly of antiquity.
A vast multi colored mosaic

73
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,480
sweeps out across the floor.
It looks like it would once have

74
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,520
been mirrored by a painted mural
above, but the paint has faded

75
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,040
and now appears to be covered in
many places with an orange ooze

76
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,280
that seems to seep out of the
stone.

77
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,040
Oh great.
Crates are haphazardly stacked

78
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,520
here and there.
It looks like there may have

79
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,320
been more crates here at one
point, but at this point there's

80
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:47,040
only like 8 crates or so.
There are four large statues in

81
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:55,160
the North SE and West of the
Chamber of A masculine figure of

82
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,360
sorts.
If you know about Aztec

83
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,640
archaeology or anthropology, you
might be able to recognize them.

84
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,480
I have archaeology and
anthropology.

85
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:07,760
A.
This are statues of Kochipile,

86
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,600
the Aztec God of art, games,
beauty, dance and song.

87
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,800
His name contains the word
flower and child in it.

88
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,640
Real hippie.
The statues depicts they're in

89
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,960
the throes of ecstasy and are
covered with representations of

90
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,840
hallucinogenic plants.
Scandalous.

91
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:30,240
Yes.
Glad to know we're getting back

92
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680
to the sex cult roots of this
place.

93
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,360
There is a ramp that leads down.
Presumably this would have led

94
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,440
deeper into the pyramid at some
point.

95
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,400
However, the ramp mostly just
goes about 100 feet and ends

96
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,200
abruptly in a collapse.
OK.

97
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,360
So we should probably describe
the things that are more notable

98
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,080
about this.
I'm just describing a lot of the

99
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,480
architecture and some of the the
stuff here.

100
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,280
There are five people in here.
Yeah.

101
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,800
Yeah, I would say that's
notable.

102
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,720
Three of them appear to be
cultists.

103
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,920
Well, actually, to be fair, all
of them appear to be cultists,

104
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,600
but three appear to be nameless
cultists who are operating some

105
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,000
sort of machinery involving the
pit.

106
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,400
Did I mention the pit?
I guess I haven't mentioned the

107
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,400
pit.
I guess I should have mentioned

108
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,600
the pit.
Yeah, you could.

109
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,360
OK, so there's a pit, There's a
big old pit in the middle of

110
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,760
this chamber that you're in.
You bury the lead like a

111
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,560
motherfucker, man.
Arabia.

112
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,320
It's fine fine.
He's milking it, let him milk

113
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,320
it.
There's a large pit and you see

114
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,600
that there are buckets and
pulleys that seem to been put

115
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,120
around this pit.
These people that are operating

116
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,120
machinery are lowering the
buckets down and then pulling

117
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,040
the buckets back up and they are
full of nectar.

118
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,360
What?
Tracks.

119
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,800
You cannot see the bottom of the
pit.

120
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,880
That's OK, We know what's down
there.

121
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,560
How far?
Away is said Pit.

122
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,680
About 10 feet away from you.
OK, after the events of last

123
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,800
episode, is JP still compelled
to go after some nectar?

124
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:16,320
We'll get to that in a moment.
Fuck. 10 feet away, 5 people.

125
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,240
So you said three of them are
cultists?

126
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,760
What about?
Oh, right, right.

127
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,560
The other two.
Right.

128
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,560
OK.
One of them, you actually

129
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,840
recognize him from descriptions
and maybe you saw one picture,

130
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,560
and I forget if you did, is
Jonathan Brooks, the leader of

131
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,280
the Colts.
Molotov.

132
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,400
I mean, fair.
I was about to start shooting,

133
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,240
Yeah.
Let's learn about the others.

134
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,480
Get through the descriptions.
First.

135
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Yeah, yeah.
Descriptions, then Molotov.

136
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:54,040
He is clearly not having a great
day, is shouting at the people

137
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,880
here, yelling at them to, to get
get as much as you can get as

138
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,480
much as you can.
We have to, you know, we have to

139
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,800
cover this up.
We'll be back.

140
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,360
We'll be back.
Not that we can hear any of it.

141
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,920
Oh, you're right, he's yelling
something at them.

142
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,600
Maybe he's shouting really,
really loud.

143
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:09,520
Yeah.
It's fun.

144
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,760
It's for the audience, yeah.
Exactly.

145
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,560
The audience knows we don't.
Yeah, unless we can read lips.

146
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,120
I don't think you could read
lips.

147
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,360
Yeah, I don't.
Know.

148
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,800
I have a spare language point.
Yeah, I have a spare language

149
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,720
point.
Actually, that's also a classic

150
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:30,640
detective skill.
It is then you see the voice of

151
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,400
the songs that you have been
hearing.

152
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,000
Leticia de la Luz, how to
describe?

153
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,200
On Fire.
Molotov Volatile.

154
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,800
Yes, in a moment.
Why did my notes crash?

155
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,200
No.
They don't want you to.

156
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,040
It's text.
It's so hard for a computer to

157
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,520
manage.
It's beyond understandable.

158
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,520
Let's see.
No, not the birds.

159
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,680
We're past the birds, baby.
No, that's good.

160
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,760
At least these ones weren't
colorful.

161
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,440
It's funny because Nathan
doesn't get that reference.

162
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:11,960
Yeah, I was like, I don't, I'm
not sure.

163
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,440
Let's.
See, it's the old podcast.

164
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Never listen to it, Nathan.
Don't tell him.

165
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,560
All of us find this incredibly
amusing.

166
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:24,600
We just.
Think we should listen to your

167
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:31,600
old podcast at some point?
That was the some of it's good,

168
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,280
some of.
It's an immediate reaction,

169
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,560
Jesus.
I can whip something up.

170
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:44,840
You see a lady, she's got this
thing over her face and she's

171
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:45,960
pretty scary.
I got it.

172
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:46,680
I got it.
I got it.

173
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:54,560
I got it, OK?
Leticia de la Luz hardly looks

174
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:00,360
human anymore and probably is
hardly human anymore.

175
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Her face, her whole fucking head
is deformed by nectar.

176
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,800
And the mouth.
There is an inhuman mouth gashed

177
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,680
into her face in two directions.
Like crisscross?

178
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,960
Yes.
So her original mouth is torn

179
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,400
wide open and it's got a big
unhealed wound that has sort of

180
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,520
become articulated.
So it's like she cut her mouth

181
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,080
open to go even further.
So she has a much larger mouth

182
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,240
going left and right.
Her nose, however, has fallen

183
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:42,240
away and a vertical mouth is now
coming perpendicular from her

184
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,800
horizontal mouth.
Her sinuses have grown sharp

185
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,920
teeth.
The three sided mouth flutters

186
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,640
and wavers and drools as it
sings.

187
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,240
Her hair has fallen away.
Her limbs move spastically,

188
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,520
thoughtlessly at her side as she
sings.

189
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,920
The outside world falls away and
there is only her glorious and

190
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,480
hideous song.
Which we don't hear.

191
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:09,960
Yes.
Thankful.

192
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:16,600
So a shotgun to the head.
Donovan, upon seeing this, just

193
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,120
utters What the fuck?
Shotgun to the head.

194
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,960
So before that I am going to
need you to make stability tests

195
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,560
for seeing this thing.
Understandable.

196
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,520
Yeah.
And what's the loss?

197
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Normally it would be 5 for
seeing a supernatural being.

198
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,760
Because this is a new horrible
thing that you haven't seen

199
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,120
before.
It is a possible loss of 6.

200
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:51,920
It is also a Cthulhui 1, so if
you reach 0 or -6 into your

201
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,240
stability after this, you will
lose a point of sanity

202
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,280
permanently.
And what's the difficulty?

203
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,360
4 Because this is something that
you haven't seen before. 5050

204
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,280
shot.
Here we go.

205
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,920
Well, I'm already shaken, so I
might as well spend some points

206
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,960
so that I don't get blasted.
Yeah.

207
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:11,480
Wait, you can spend points if
you're negative?

208
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,560
Yeah, you could spread points if
you're negative.

209
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:15,920
I wish I'd remembered that
before rolling A2.

210
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:23,600
Oh no.
So I'm at -10 and I have lost a

211
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,480
point of sanity.
Forever JB.

212
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,240
That's not true because you lose
2 points of sanity.

213
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Cool.
The sanity loss is going to

214
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,800
happen even if I succeed right?
If I go below 0.

215
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,040
If you go below 0, you lose 1.
If you go below 6, you lose 2.

216
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,040
If you've already lost one from
going below 0, when you go below

217
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,680
6 you only lose one more.
You know what, I will just spend

218
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,520
3 points of sanity taking me to
-2.

219
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:03,320
OK, so if I was at -4 and I went
to -10 I lose the two points of

220
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,720
sanity.
Yes.

221
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,840
And I'm blasted, so I'm like,
I'm out.

222
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,360
Yeah.
That's OK, I was never much help

223
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,520
anyway and now you don't have to
worry about me trying to go for

224
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,960
the nectar.
How are you doing, Colin?

225
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,320
I am now at -4.
You made your check though.

226
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:24,480
Yes, yeah, everybody except me
made the check.

227
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,000
I spent one point, so I'm still
in the positives.

228
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,680
Oh well, yeah.
So Kearns is OK?

229
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,160
JB is not.
Kearns had that vision.

230
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,120
I was going to ask if that might
soften things and when this

231
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,680
eventually came up.
Looks like it did anyway.

232
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:45,360
Shotgun to the head.
No, Kearns.

233
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,200
Why?
I mean, it wouldn't be to the

234
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,440
head.
Unless you're running up to the

235
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,200
creature to shoot it to the
head, know that that will be a

236
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,000
more dangerous position for you
to be in.

237
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:57,280
Right, the creature.
Or Brooks, I don't know who you

238
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,080
were running up to, but.
Hang on, didn't you say we're

239
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,840
like 10 feet away?
Yeah.

240
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,400
So I can just.
Yeah, that seems doable.

241
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,760
Raise my arm and shoot her in
the head.

242
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,520
Wait, should I run up to her?
What's the worst that'll happen?

243
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,080
I don't think you should do
that.

244
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,400
I don't think you do more.
Damage if you're right next to

245
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,640
her.
I will do more damage if I'm

246
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,520
right next to her.
Yeah, but if you're not next to

247
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,240
her, that means you don't get
molotoved.

248
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,000
Yeah.
What's the worst that can

249
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,880
happen?
Getting molotoved and then

250
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,880
beaten to death.
Or eaten to death.

251
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,160
Yes, that is distinctly
possible.

252
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,800
Point blank it does 3 damage.
It'll do three damage at point

253
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,760
blank range.
Yes, at point blank. +3 Or is it

254
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,560
just a hard three damage?
+3 damage Yeah, you do have to

255
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,840
hit this thing first.
OK, what's her hit threshold?

256
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,040
I must spend 2 firearms.
OK and I am running up to her

257
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,880
and I don't even know if I say
anything.

258
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,400
I feel like I should say
something cool but I don't.

259
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:08,120
I just want this to go away so I
put my shotgun to her fucking

260
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:13,560
mouth and shoot 5.
Shoe Blaster and her singing

261
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:19,040
Sword of stops as she howls out
in pain, but also continues to

262
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,440
sing.
You're able to hear it just a

263
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,560
little bit because you're so
close to her, and also, maybe

264
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,560
more notably, there's something
singing in harmony with it.

265
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,920
Oh no.
Oh no.

266
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,320
Something deep and guttural and
loud, and it's coming from the

267
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,880
pit.
Now's a good time for that

268
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,680
Molotov.
This can't be how you lose

269
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,960
another character though.
This can't be how that happens.

270
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,920
It'll be funny, but no,
actually, no, no, no, no, no,

271
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,360
no.
Daniel did say that he can't

272
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,120
live down if I lose, if he kills
another Renee character.

273
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,560
So let's see how Daniel get gets
me out of this.

274
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:05,720
Yeah.
OK, fuck you.

275
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:11,760
That's not true now.
It is documented, it is on

276
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,280
Discord.
I told you, it's in the Patreon

277
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,080
only discord, nobody goes there.
I'm going to screenshot it and

278
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,680
post it everywhere.
What?

279
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,400
What did I do?
I haven't even done my thing

280
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,840
yet.
It's going to be my fault.

281
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,960
OK, Russell.
What do you do?

282
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,240
Excuse me?
Not Russell.

283
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:29,800
Colin.
No, wait.

284
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:30,960
Yes, Colin, that's your.
Name.

285
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,320
There you go.
Colin loses his Molotov and is

286
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,440
surprised to see that it's not a
flame, having been waving it

287
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,040
behind him at JV.
What?

288
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,960
Oh no.
Colin can't light a Molotov.

289
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,840
Very true.
Colin cannot light a mole was.

290
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:54,280
I supposed to do that?
Yeah, but I am using this as

291
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,640
justification for noticing that
JB has lost it.

292
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,160
Yeah, JB, you would have helped
if you hadn't lost it.

293
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:06,160
But you lost it, so you know.
So who's all currently covered

294
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:11,760
in glass shards and I'm assuming
gasoline or tequila?

295
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,640
Tequila, who were you throwing
it at?

296
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,800
De la Luz.
OK, you know what?

297
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,359
Make me an explosive check just
for throwing it because it will

298
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,440
cover her in glass and
accelerant.

299
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,599
That is a six.
That works.

300
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,280
I think some of it's going to
splash on Kearns, though.

301
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,520
Kearns can take it.
Yeah, what's the damage for

302
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,720
getting a glass bottle chucked
at your head?

303
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,360
It's got to be like -2 right?
Or like -1.

304
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,400
It's it's -2 roll two 6 - 2.
All right, there's one.

305
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,360
That's the one.
OK.

306
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:54,720
How is this room lit?
There is an electric light that

307
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,360
seems to be powered by a
generator that they brought in.

308
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,720
However there are also torches
set up around as well for

309
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,320
probably ritualistic looking
things.

310
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,120
Sort of a combination between
old, tiny and modern.

311
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,360
Thank you.
Can I grab a torch and throw it

312
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:17,120
at her?
And would you accept athletics

313
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:20,200
for that?
No, I know you want to use

314
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,960
athletics for all of your
things.

315
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:24,520
Well, no, because it's
specifically in the description

316
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,280
for the skill it says like
throwing is one of the things

317
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,680
that it's for.
Does it?

318
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,440
Yes.
You are correct, it does say

319
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,600
that.
Shot put that shit.

320
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,960
Feel like shot put's exactly
wrong?

321
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:40,360
I'm going to say difficulty 4
because a torch is not designed

322
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:42,960
to be thrown.
Oh wait, what's your sanity at?

323
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,920
-2.
OK, so difficulty 5, it is

324
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,000
increased by 1:00 because of
your your mental state.

325
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,840
I am still only going to spend 2
points.

326
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,720
OK, I failed.
No.

327
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,560
So this torch.
Just goes sailing past her.

328
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:08,520
That's almost better.
Unlit Molotov by a missed torch,

329
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:09,440
Oh my.
God.

330
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,480
Hey, that wasn't the only torch
in the room.

331
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,560
But you know, I guess, hey Dan,
what's happening to me right

332
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,120
now?
Well you failed your check, so

333
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:26,360
flight fight or freeze?
Freeze sounds great right now I

334
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:30,440
am on the floor like stunned.
OK.

335
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,120
You are right next to a big old
crate.

336
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,960
I will say however, looking
inside, it's full of empty

337
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,560
vials.
Oh, thank.

338
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,160
God.
Yeah, looks like they got most

339
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,440
of it out already.
Kronelov and his men must have

340
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,200
got rid of all of it, you know?
And then Kronelov stole all of

341
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:47,920
it.
Yeah.

342
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,720
I swear to God if we all die to
the lamest most like goldfish

343
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,400
poop gang motherfuckers of this
cult.

344
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,520
Brooks screams out something,
you're not quite sure what it is

345
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,520
and shoots or shoots at the man
attacking his wife.

346
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,080
So he has a 45 pistol.
He is going to spend all three

347
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,720
of his firearm points.
Bring it on.

348
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,840
That is going to be a shit hit
though, sorry.

349
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,960
You take 3 damages.
You were shot in the back.

350
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:24,560
I smile.
Oh.

351
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,520
God, the thing in front of you
smiles as well.

352
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,600
Oh God, you were going to get
bit by their gruesome bite as

353
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,920
her entire face opens up.
Oh God.

354
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,560
Didn't I?
Didn't I maim her a little bit?

355
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,840
Yeah, he.
Just shot out some of her teeth.

356
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Hopefully that means less
damage.

357
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,360
Well, just think about John
Cupford and the thing making

358
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:54,480
new, you know, wounds and gashes
just sort of helps them out.

359
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,720
Oh.
God hey everyone, we heard

360
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920
Daniel's Dread tails have a
Patreon now.

361
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,800
It's got multiple tiers in
everything, even our.

362
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,680
Lowest tier resident.
Of the Forbidden Zone gets you

363
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,040
access to GM notes and
unreleased content.

364
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:12,320
It's good stuff.
The next one up, Resident of New

365
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,000
Hell Mouth adds shout outs on
the show, the ability to name

366
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
characters, raw mixes of the new
episodes, and our behind the

367
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,240
scenes Discord channel.
And finally, the highest tier

368
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,880
Angry Clockwork Wife let's you
join in on our monthly streams

369
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,520
and be introduced as an angry
clockwork like if that's what

370
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,120
you're into.
So please, if any of that sounds

371
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:38,720
appealing to you, then join up.
We'd love to have you and your

372
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,160
money too much.
Fair enough.

373
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,480
All the same, do consider.
Thanks for listening and back to

374
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,840
the show.
They are going to spend 3 of

375
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,440
their scuffling points.
That is not all of their

376
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,680
scuffling points, but they are
going to spend 3 to try to fight

377
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,240
you.
It's going to be a hit.

378
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,960
I think you've been scuffled.
Now the damage is only -1.

379
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,480
It's unpleasant for sure, but it
is technically only -1 that is

380
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,840
still more damage than the shot
to your back.

381
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,640
You're still standing.
I I guess the like the real

382
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,200
threat of this thing is the
singing primarily.

383
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:18,480
Yes, and then something comes
from the pit.

384
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:26,120
Shoves.
A tentacle eyes out and tries to

385
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:29,960
wrap itself around your leg.
Me.

386
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,920
Yeah, you're attacking its
bride.

387
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,040
It's.
Bride.

388
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,960
Polly it's.
Bride.

389
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,600
Oh no.
It misses me.

390
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,920
Think it misses?
What's your good threshold?

391
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,160
4.
It misses for now.

392
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,040
A weird way of saying that.
Yeah, a tentacle covered in

393
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,600
mouths.
I guess it's not really a

394
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,400
tentacle so much as it is a
tongue.

395
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,840
Extends however, deep down in
this pit to try and grab you.

396
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,080
I did not miss these things.
That's fair.

397
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:05,600
I did not miss being picked on
by the GM.

398
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,920
You're the one.
You are the only one who has

399
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,160
done any damage.
One person threw a glass bottle

400
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,920
that broke and didn't explode.
One person threw a torch and

401
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,720
missed.
That's a.

402
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:23,520
Lot of words for I hate Renee.
Hey, at least your brain still

403
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,080
works.
For now.

404
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:32,160
For now, give me a second.
Take that as you will.

405
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,520
Without having to roll sense
trouble, somebody is coming down

406
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,520
the stairs from where you came
from.

407
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,360
Not my concern.
OK, if it's not for sense

408
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:47,400
trouble reasons, then it's not
trouble, right?

409
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,960
Like I'm at the well.
It's it's a thing where you,

410
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,600
just, you, you could tell it's
coming.

411
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,360
You're not quite sure who it is
yet though.

412
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,440
My Spidey sense was tinkling.
Is that what we call it now?

413
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,880
Yeah, sometimes.
Currents, what do you do?

414
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,320
We have established on multiple
occasions today I'm a smoker and

415
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,240
that I have a brand new Zippo
lighter.

416
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:11,360
OK, we've established that this
thing kind of has you in its

417
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:13,600
mouth, right?
Still close.

418
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,360
Enough.
I'm having Deja vu right now.

419
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,200
Yeah, get some new material,
Renee.

420
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,840
I mean, not much else I can do.
I can smell the gasoline.

421
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,080
I can try it with again with a
shotgun, but where's the drama

422
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,400
in that?
I don't know.

423
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,080
We'll figure it out and post.
Don't light yourself on fire.

424
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,920
How much damage does fire do
Dan?

425
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,800
Depends, but as much as it
wants, it's not pleasant.

426
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:39,680
I mean, it killed me last time
it.

427
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:44,240
Also exploded last time, yeah.
An investigator set on fire

428
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,280
receives 1D6 damage each round
until extinguished.

429
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,400
Yikes, Daniel, you still got
those fire extinguishers?

430
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,240
We can't do referencing another
podcast.

431
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,120
I'm not there.
This is the thing where the

432
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,760
narrator is part of the show.
Like on.

433
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,960
That thing, I'm not just like
Daniel's like hanging out in the

434
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,760
corner being like, what's up,
guys?

435
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,240
Let me describe what you're
seeing as we increasingly

436
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,920
stretch this bit.
Fine, I've I shoot her again,

437
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,360
like in panic if nothing else
because she's eating my head.

438
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,400
Yeah, like your head is inside,
inside her face, but your hands

439
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,560
are still on the shotgun.
So yeah, you could absolutely

440
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,400
just.
Yeah, I'm a shooter.

441
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,440
One more time, point blank.
OK.

442
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,840
Her hit threshold is 3.
Yes, fuck it, I must spend the

443
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,760
2.
No bonus for being muzzle to

444
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,240
target.
Unfortunately, that does not

445
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,080
change the hit threshold.
That's just how it goes.

446
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,280
But I'll let you do a little bit
more damage, I think.

447
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,480
Oh, thank you.
Assuming you hit it.

448
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,040
I spent two points.
Oh, you spent OK.

449
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,600
Yeah, smart.
Honestly.

450
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,880
OK +3. +4 Thank you.
Send her to hell. 6th.

451
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,560
I don't know if hell exists.
I suspect that a lot of

452
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,840
Christian dogma may be incorrect
based on a recent experience

453
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,800
here.
But if hell does exist, this

454
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,000
mouth creature has gone there.
Dandy, yes.

455
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,640
OK, mission partially
accomplished.

456
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,360
Hey, minibus dealt.
With going on.

457
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,040
Does it get to fight once more
before death and take Kearns

458
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,280
head with it?
Why would you say that would be

459
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,640
cool?
Why would you say but no

460
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,560
Russell, no Russell.
Why would you say I?

461
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:34,880
Don't know.
I'm not gonna.

462
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,400
I'm not gonna do that, no.
I get weird thoughts sometimes,

463
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,960
I'm sorry.
Yeah, the entire building begins

464
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:49,440
to shake as a horrible groan of
sadness and anger emanates from

465
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,160
the pit.
Her human husband falls down on

466
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,400
his knees and wails in anguish.
Sing that motherfucker.

467
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,200
There you go.
What?

468
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,440
OK, and and now we should leave
probably.

469
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,680
There's a whole other mouth.
Cult.

470
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,160
Yeah.
The the main thing is still

471
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,680
here.
Yeah, but.

472
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,320
Kill Brooks.
If the building collapses on it,

473
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,560
then our problem is very solved.
And if it collapses on us, our

474
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:24,960
problem is much worse.
Yes, but I got the impression

475
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,600
that the building was collapsing
anyway from all of the things

476
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,240
that Dan described.
The building is not collapsing.

477
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,720
You heard an explosion earlier.
You're not quite sure what that

478
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,520
was, but you are hearing a
scream coming from this thing.

479
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,520
Yeah, I also saw someone coming
down the stairs.

480
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,640
What's what's up with that?
Well, before that happens, we

481
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,600
have our two same people on the
stairs who are bad at throwing

482
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,720
things get a chance to go.
Dane is a very strong word to

483
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,840
use.
Smalls is going to turn grab JB

484
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,240
and start trying to bring him
back into lucidity.

485
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,720
I will allow you to do that
without making a role.

486
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,920
You could just use your, you're
just take sort of your action to

487
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,600
do it.
But you can, yeah.

488
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,120
I have to spend a psychoanalysis
point to do it.

489
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:16,200
I'm going to spend 2 because we
do have like our ears plugged up

490
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,280
and I think it would be harder
to actually do and I think that

491
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,760
would be a fair way of doing.
It I think that's a good point.

492
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,120
I maybe I maybe forgot about
that.

493
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:27,080
So yeah, good point.
You're also shaken.

494
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,000
Actually, in that case, because
I didn't take that into

495
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,320
consideration, I will just
willingly spend another one.

496
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,680
It's also a skill I don't get to
use very often, so I'm using it.

497
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:40,080
I do my best to shake JB back
into at least temporary

498
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,920
lucidity.
There's still a job to do here.

499
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,920
So I'm I'm, I'm not frozen
anymore.

500
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,800
You are not frozen anymore.
Great.

501
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,320
You are compelled to build a
snowman, Yeah.

502
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,760
Doesn't have to be a snowman.
Sorry, I've got a different

503
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,840
musical stuff in my head.
Golden from K Pop Demon Hunters

504
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,800
has been in my head for the past
20-5 fucking days.

505
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,720
I can't get manchild out of my
head.

506
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,400
Wonder why?
What do I have to do to not rush

507
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,160
for the nectar, Dan?
Make a stability check

508
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,160
difficulty.
Four, and I really cannot

509
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,600
actually like this time, I
actually can't spend points so.

510
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:26,200
Yeah.
Say your face natural six, baby.

511
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,880
Good.
And Colin, what do you do?

512
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,040
Oh, I was going to firemen carry
JB outta here, but since he's

513
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:37,240
back on his feet, malt off.
And this time I light it.

514
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,960
This time I light it.
Baby, we're going all in.

515
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,120
Where?
What are you throwing it at?

516
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,360
There were three guys in the
room in addition to Brooks and

517
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,080
De La Luz.
Yes.

518
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,560
Yeah, what are they doing?
They seem to be waking up from a

519
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,160
trance.
No, they're not.

520
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,560
No, they might be innocent.
Oh God.

521
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,080
Are they?
They'll let God sort it out.

522
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,200
Oof oof.
OK, explosive check difficulty

523
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,640
3, though it'll be 4 due to your
mental state.

524
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,640
I regret lighting the Molotov.
I thought you were going to

525
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,960
throw it in the pit.
I don't know if that would do

526
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,280
anything here.
Well, we have to do something

527
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,080
about the thing.
Right, Difficulty 4, you said

528
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,160
I'm going to spend the points
just because it is comical.

529
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,320
Oh, I, I think, wait, my hands.
Clear.

530
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:33,200
So yeah, after after murdering
these guys, what do we do about

531
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,320
the mouth?
I'd love to collapse the

532
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,520
building on it again.
That seems to usually work

533
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,240
pretty well.
Wave everybody back from the

534
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,360
pit.
Do you make your Oh, I guess you

535
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,200
don't need to make your role
because you spent the points to

536
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,400
make sure it worked.
Yes.

537
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,280
OK, Romeo D6.
Oh yeah, damage.

538
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,440
Yeah, you gotta roll the damage.
We can't just kill these guys

539
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,120
for the bit.
Fuller.

540
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,240
They have taken 4 damage and
they are on fire.

541
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,760
They are done.
OK, we have killed these guys

542
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,240
for the bit.
I I guess nobody's operating at

543
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,120
full mental capacity right now
in universe.

544
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,040
They did appear to be cultists.
That's the first thing I said

545
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,560
about them, that they were
cultists.

546
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,040
Fair enough.
Do you see the person coming

547
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:20,000
down the stairs now?
It's a man first.

548
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,800
You mostly just see his
silhouette.

549
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,960
He's carrying a shotgun in one
hand and several bunches of

550
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,880
dynamite, like sort of hauling
underneath his left arm.

551
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,720
Convenient.
And you look and you see his big

552
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,360
soft hands are doing the best
that he can to hold on to that.

553
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,520
Yes.
Wait, he's not mind controlled

554
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,400
right now, is he?
Wait, we killed De la Luz?

555
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,720
So hopefully not, right?
But was it a live record or live

556
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,080
broadcast?
Or was it a recording?

557
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,280
You can't really tell your ears
are plugged up.

558
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,560
Can somebody who's not me maybe
listen?

559
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,360
Oh I was going to mind pulling
something out of my ear and make

560
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,800
a popping noise, but for the
listeners that would just be and

561
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,640
it would provide absolutely no
context for what I was doing.

562
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,440
I will unstop my ear.
The mouth is singing, however.

563
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,600
It's just not the same without
the Harmony I.

564
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,400
Need you to make a stability
check difficulty for.

565
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,920
I'm just deciding whether I
should spend that last point

566
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,640
before a broken.
I mean, I might as well.

567
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,880
I didn't need to, but that's
okay.

568
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,600
I am at -5 stability.
Not broken, but not great.

569
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,000
OK, you don't suffer the need to
consume nectar immediately.

570
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,240
Oh, that's good.
Brooks is on the ground crying.

571
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,360
Understandable.
The detective walks down the

572
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,160
stairs, calmly points his
shotgun at Brooks, and without a

573
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,600
word executes him.
My man.

574
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,720
Oh no, he's definitely under
the.

575
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,040
Is he?
Then you see he begins to throw

576
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,120
bundles of dynamite around the
chamber.

577
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,080
Works for me.
You know what?

578
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,760
I'm not going to lift a gift
horse in the mouth.

579
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,960
Time to go.
Smalls kind of waves both of his

580
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,960
arms at the detective and points
at the hole too.

581
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,680
As you point at the hole,
tongues fly out of it.

582
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,040
Oh.
Yeah, that do it.

583
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,320
The dynamite that he's throwing
around is lit, right?

584
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,440
It is not lit, no.
He seems like he's going to do

585
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,720
something with it, but it's not
yet lit.

586
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,680
Chain reactionate.
Got it, got it.

587
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,720
Got it, got it.
There.

588
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,360
Aren't there flaming men in this
room?

589
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,360
Yes, there's that's this is a
danger.

590
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,360
Yeah, Oh.
You're right.

591
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,680
Yeah, we got to go.
We need to go.

592
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,920
We need to go, but I assume the
tongues are going to do

593
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,480
something first.
Yeah, they don't have to.

594
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:50,640
Please don't my.
Dude, I.

595
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,400
Think the detective is about to
get caught?

596
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,800
No.
So many.

597
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,600
One of them is going to go for
Kearns.

598
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,520
That.
Makes sense Kearns, you have

599
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,400
been grabbed by one of the
tongues.

600
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,080
Do I take damage?
So a couple of things.

601
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,440
One you do take damage from
being constricted, it's just

602
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,040
going to be a straight D6
damage.

603
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,760
Kearns is down. -2 I roll to
stay conscious.

604
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,120
Roll to stay consciousness.
You could spend your health, you

605
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,360
go even further down.
You could spend it if you would

606
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,199
like.
I don't that doesn't sound right

607
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,360
right now.
Yeah, generally not a good idea.

608
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:29,360
On the off chance that I don't
succeed.

609
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,679
Yeah, it's been known to happen.
Yeah, I'm going to present a

610
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,239
real big inconvenience to
everybody.

611
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,760
So I'm a just spend one point
and stay conscious.

612
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,760
So and I lose that one point by
punching myself in the face

613
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,360
going.
Stay awake.

614
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:49,639
So I said multiple tongues fly
out but they are all wrapped

615
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:52,520
around you.
I'm not making multiple attacks,

616
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,840
just this attack was multiple
tongues wrapping around you.

617
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,840
Yeah, if you don't escape from
this on your own, I will cut you

618
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,680
out.
I've got a knife and a lot of

619
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:03,760
points and weapons.
I.

620
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,600
Appreciate it.
And health.

621
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,680
Yeah, I've got, I've got, I've
still got a full 8 health so.

622
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,840
So that's not great, but you
know, that's, you know, things

623
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,800
are going OK.
Detective Gomez looks at all of

624
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,520
you.
You could tell maybe with some

625
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,400
assessed honesty, that he is
surprised that you are here, but

626
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,920
honestly doesn't even care
anymore.

627
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,000
Yeah, Well, that's fair.
That's legit.

628
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,920
OK.
So is he just nonploosed by the

629
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,800
tongue that's coming out of the
floor?

630
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,600
Yes.
OK, this is not his first time

631
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,760
seeing that.
That's a red flag.

632
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,480
And he looks at you, Colin.
Sheepest wave.

633
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,240
And he says, love, Shaq didn't
expect to see you here, but I

634
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:52,960
don't expect anything anymore.
Understandable.

635
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
This is all going to be
destroyed.

636
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,800
None of this is coming out.
Probably the right call.

637
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,960
Works for me.
You got a plan.

638
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,120
I already blew up his temple
upstairs in his house.

639
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,880
That is a great.
Well, it's worked for us in the

640
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,080
past.
No.

641
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,040
I should have started on the
bottom though.

642
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,720
Once I heard this music and saw
what it did to people, I

643
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:21,400
resisted after a time, but now
this needs to end.

644
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,360
Killing all of this makes makes
me feel better.

645
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,840
It's all I can do to.
I'm sorry that you'll have to

646
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,440
die too.
Nobody can know about this.

647
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:37,000
Oh.
Well, it's it's a punch in the

648
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,040
gut, I'll tell you that, but
can't say I didn't see it

649
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,920
coming.
You, you seem like a nice enough

650
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,760
guy, even though I don't think
that you are from America.

651
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,200
No, I'm pretty sure once we blow
this up all of the birds will be

652
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,800
quiet.
The birds, you say?

653
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,160
Do you not hear the birds?
Nope.

654
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,280
His head explodes.
Whoops.

655
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,520
What?
Birds fly out of it.

656
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,840
Whoa.
This is taking a turn.

657
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,880
Can somebody cut me out of this?
Yeah, no, I got somebody coming

658
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,880
out of this.
Yeah, I am.

659
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,920
I Sprint over and start cutting
the tongues away.

660
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,920
Yeah, the threat of what that
guy was bringing was not the

661
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,280
threat that you thought it was.
No, clearly.

662
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:28,960
And birds are spewing out of
where his head used to be used

663
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:29,880
then.
Yes.

664
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,960
I'm assuming.
A lot of birds, yes, lots of

665
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,400
birds.
I guess all my NPCS went.

666
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,760
You guys could go.
I'm going to use my knife to

667
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,600
start cutting away the tongues
and freeing urns.

668
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,560
OK, difficulty 3 to hit them,
although what's your stability

669
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,200
at?
-10.

670
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,640
OK, so difficulty 5 to get them.
OK, I have 5 points in weapons.

671
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,640
I could spend four of them right
now to just succeed.

672
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,880
I think I'm going to do that.
Right now my priority is getting

673
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,640
away from the pit and blowing
this whole place to hell, which

674
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,320
I hopefully won't need a knife
for anything other than this.

675
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,440
So I succeed.
OK, roll your damage the.

676
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,800
Fucking hell.
You did any amount of damage.

677
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,080
Unfortunately, doing the just
one damage you did, Kearns is

678
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,360
going to need to make an
athletics check to escape.

679
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,320
However, it's going to be a much
easier athletics check because

680
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,160
you cut off at least one of the
tongues.

681
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,720
OK, OK, OK.
Yeah, what's the check?

682
00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:30,200
Difficulty 3.
I must spend the two points OK,

683
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:35,600
and yeah, just RIP myself out
out of those tongues.

684
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,760
And now we all need to book it.
Everybody needs to run.

685
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,880
Well, there are some birds that
are going to complicate your

686
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,560
situation.
Yeah, no shit.

687
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,800
Dynamite is not lit.
Oh, is any of the dynamite

688
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,080
landed next to De la Luz?
Sure.

689
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:56,480
Can I throw a zippo at it?
Leticia of the light, baby, Yes.

690
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,520
Can I just throw a zippo at her
and book it?

691
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,520
Yes, I'm going to need you guys
to all flee.

692
00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:06,360
I guess.
Maybe we won't need to fight the

693
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,400
birds here.
If they explode, our problem is

694
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,840
solved.
A lot of our problems are

695
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,080
solved.
Oh right, that probably requires

696
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:16,280
rolling.
Flea doesn't.

697
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,720
It yeah, you don't just get to
run away because now there are

698
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:22,920
birds that are attacking you and
tongues that are flying around.

699
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,280
Yeah, I just got to make that
check straight.

700
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,600
I don't know.
What's the difficulty?

701
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,080
Difficulty for fleeing.
Because of the gas.

702
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,080
You can use athletics or
fleeing.

703
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,200
Either one of those athletics.
Athletics and fleeing are the

704
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,120
same thing for this situation.
OK, I am going to.

705
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,120
It would be difficulty 5 for me,
so I'm going to spend the four

706
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,120
points.
Yeah, same here, spent. 2.

707
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:48,920
I succeed.
Yay.

708
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,480
I didn't feel like doing the
math so I just spent all of my

709
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,840
points.
Yeah, I've not succeeded.

710
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,560
Yeah.
I rolled A10.

711
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,480
What?
Did I get what?

712
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,760
It says you got a six on my end,
so everybody succeeds.

713
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,200
You run out.
Hang on about that, Zippo.

714
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,720
Yeah.
Sorry, you don't have.

715
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,720
A Zippo It happened.
Yeah, I shoot a longing look at

716
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,160
my Zippo.
I really like that Zippo.

717
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,800
I'll.
Go get it for you.

718
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,560
Hey, don't worry, it's going to
a good cause.

719
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,240
Oh come on, if Colin has to die,
this is how it happens.

720
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,520
Doesn't have to die.
Nobody else is dying today

721
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,240
except for that fucking mouth
and those fucking birds.

722
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,560
Let's fucking go.
I've turned the panic energy I

723
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,320
had last time into manic energy
so like.

724
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,400
Got it.
I'll take whatever, man.

725
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:45,400
The explosions begin to shake
this underground temple complex

726
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,440
as the ceiling begins to give
way in that chamber.

727
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,400
You run up the stairs.
Ceilings begin to fall

728
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,680
throughout this whole thing.
You look.

729
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,720
You recall that there was a
tunnel that went two directions

730
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:58,160
when you were outside the
studio.

731
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,200
One of those has already
completely collapsed, perhaps

732
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,960
the work of the now exploded
Detective Gomez.

733
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,480
But you run back up through the
ruins of the old Hacienda, past

734
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,960
tons of bodies, and as you look
out, you see that the entire

735
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,560
ground collapses on this
underground thing, leaving a

736
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,120
pretty sizable sinkhole in the
ground outside.

737
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,480
Shit, that's not good for the
budget.

738
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,960
Well, we're not paying for it.
Yeah, yeah, I think we can leave

739
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,880
this to the Mexico City
bureaucrats.

740
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,320
And hopefully that mouth is
dead.

741
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,440
If it can survive this then
we're actually fucked.

742
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:36,760
So like.
Yeah.

743
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,680
Yeah, it's the 30s.
We don't have much.

744
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,920
Yeah, I take out my ear things.
Is it still singing?

745
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,760
You don't hear it.
OK, good.

746
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,160
I'm tired.
I, I need to sit down.

747
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:55,200
I I, I just sit on the ground
and sort of sway.

748
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,360
I'd like to kiss Kerns, is that
OK?

749
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,960
Yes, absolutely.
JP and Kerns 100% KISS.

750
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:07,920
And then I pass out, yeah.
I I feel like we both might.

751
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:10,600
Turns out the key to defeating
the mythos was just to make

752
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:16,040
Kerns sponge all of the damage.
And have everybody have bought a

753
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,840
million healing points and sort
of take advantage of how the

754
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,760
healing system works.
In this system, you're God.

755
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,200
Damn right you.
Didn't break the game.

756
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,720
You're using just a master like
that's how it works.

757
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,080
I'm almost proud of you.
Almost.

758
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,040
So are we done in Mexico then?
Yeah.

759
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,120
I lost so much blood.
There's there's several bullets

760
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,320
in me.
I am at -10 stability baby.

761
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,600
I need some sleep.
Are we going to go clubbing or

762
00:42:45,600 --> 00:43:01,570
not?
Thank you very much for our GM

Our album art is by Trinity the
tea time link and our main theme

768
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,360
is by Claire LW.
All of our links and stuff are

769
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:28,760
in the show notes so check them
out.

770
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,320
Thank you once again for
listening and until next time

771
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:50,800
this has been Daniels thread.
When you arrive at the hotel,

772
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,680
though, you've received a
telegram.

773
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,240
Yeah, cool.
From New York.

774
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,480
What's it say?
Hey, I know people there.

775
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:04,720
It's from Winston Rogers.
Go on, it says, under attack by

776
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:13,080
cultists gone into hiding.
Cult more active and powerful in

777
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,320
New York than originally
believed.

778
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,280
Leaving the city now.
Do not try to contact.

779
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,520
Well, there goes my per diem.
