Last time on Eternal lies.
5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,800
Following an extended
conversation with the Francisco
6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,200
de la Vega, the investigators
set to work interviewing
7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,080
candidates to be the guides in
the treacherous Yucatan jungle.
8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,640
While they settled on
experienced local Guillermo
9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,200
Castillo to lead the charge,
they brought along the American
10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,160
Rick Luke to provide support for
the more archaeological aspects
11
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,240
of the mission.
With that settled, Kearns bumped
12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,240
into an old dead friend, Colin
traded A memento for a soggy
13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,880
tome, and the cohort began their
trek into the jungle.
14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,440
The die is cast.
The pact is sealed.
15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,440
May God have mercy on our souls.
It's Daniel's tread tails.
16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:01:00,730
You're definitely.
Dealing with you today, aren't
17
00:01:00,730 --> 00:01:01,490
you?
Motherfucker.
18
00:01:01,490 --> 00:01:04,290
Anyway, you know I have a little
loopy this Friday.
19
00:01:04,530 --> 00:01:12,250
OK, so all right, from your
location to the site of Chichen
20
00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:15,050
Joel, it's going to take you
about four days.
21
00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:17,730
At least that's what I've got
it.
22
00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:19,650
Did you think it was going to be
shorter or longer?
23
00:01:20,610 --> 00:01:23,320
Shorter, but I I really didn't
have any idea how long it would
24
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:24,720
take.
Yes, yeah.
25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,720
The map is pretty.
Map is very pretty actually.
26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,680
Yeah, people, a lot of people
have taken the very nice
27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,360
pictures of the Yucatan.
Do you guys remember who your
28
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,240
guide was?
Nicola.
29
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,880
I remember, I believe explicitly
Rick Luke was not your guy.
30
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,880
I think you were explicit about
that.
31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,800
He was a partner.
We brought him on as a
32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,680
scientific advisor of sorts,
yes, and got a different,
33
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,080
probably more competent guy to
be our actual guide.
34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,440
Pablo Garza.
Yeah, that was it.
35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,960
Yes.
No, Garza.
36
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,480
You didn't hire Garza?
No, yeah.
37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,520
Garza was too afraid.
You didn't want to hire him.
38
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,640
You hired Castillo.
Yeah, guess where I finished up
39
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,120
editing for today.
And you're going to be heading
40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,920
into the jungle.
He has brought several porters
41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,640
with him to help carry all the
supplies with you.
42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,920
You're also bringing what you
have on you.
43
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:30,320
Is there anything in particular
that you guys feel you need to
44
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,280
bring with you in addition to
like the stuff that Castillo
45
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,640
would be bringing?
You know, like water and tents
46
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:40,360
and stuff like that?
I already said that, but walking
47
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,120
sticks for everyone.
OK.
48
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:49,760
Backpacks that are easy to just
take off in one second because
49
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,320
if we start sinking, first thing
we do is we dispose of the
50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,200
backpack.
OK, quicksand proofing smart.
51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,000
Yeah, I'm definitely bringing
along a machete for vine cutting
52
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,480
things.
Bug spray.
53
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,640
OK.
I was maybe just asking like,
54
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:10,560
you're not bringing like a huge
crate of TNT with you or
55
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,520
anything, are you?
I didn't think you were, but I
56
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,520
just wanted to check if there
was any like really big things
57
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,440
that you were bringing with you.
No, like other than I'm scared
58
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,000
that we should be.
I don't think you really should,
59
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,640
but I for you guys, I never
really know.
60
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,760
That would be unrealistic,
Daniel.
61
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:30,840
I will bring the Blood Ravens
the chapter of the Emperor zoom
62
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,160
space.
Marines.
63
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,200
I.
You know what their battle barge
64
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,640
is in another system at the
moment.
65
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,160
Fuck.
Every time, yeah.
66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:48,280
What skill do I have to roll to
hide my Tommy Gus Tommy gun up
67
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:54,080
my butt?
I don't think you need to hide
68
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,000
it up your butt.
It would be conceal I believe is
69
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,920
the skill you would use.
Right.
70
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,080
Oh, I've got a point in that.
Yeah, I can help out.
71
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,280
Yeah, yeah, I believe you could
just carry it with you if you
72
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,400
would like.
Yeah, I don't think anybody's
73
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,200
going to rat you out.
Especially when it has been
74
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,240
firmly established that there
are violent bandits in the area.
75
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,279
Fair enough in.
Fact having the gun out might be
76
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,280
a benefit because they might be
more wary to strike if we are
77
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:28,120
clearly armed and dangerous.
And since it's a Tommy gun, I
78
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:29,520
don't think they would rat you
out.
79
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,400
I think they would damn dirty
rat you out.
80
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,720
But.
Don't you mean they rat tat tat
81
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,280
me out?
That's.
82
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,600
True.
No, I think you'd be doing that
83
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,920
to them.
Yeah, I don't think I'm bringing
84
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,480
anything big, at least nothing
that I couldn't potentially roll
85
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,400
preparedness for.
Got you.
86
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,080
The same thing I can think of.
OK, same here.
87
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,880
Good walk and stick in one hand,
Tommy gun in the other.
88
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,200
What do we have for bug spray?
Probably something really
89
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,160
fucking poisonous.
Oh yeah.
90
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,400
Is it asbestos?
No.
91
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,760
Straight up fucking asbestos,
Yeah.
92
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:15,400
No, that's for fire proofing.
Yeah, unfortunately asbestos is
93
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,880
slow long term poisoning, not
immediate kill everything in the
94
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,400
area poisoning.
Well, so was most of makeup in
95
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,840
that era, so.
Indeed.
96
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:29,320
I figure I figure maybe some
some sort of cream you rub on
97
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,440
your face.
We definitely got some mercury.
98
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,920
Now there you go, Hanneman.
Stay off mosquito and insect
99
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,360
repellent.
This is something that you could
100
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,960
know if you have outdoorsman,
you have outdoorsman.
101
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,760
I have 4 points in Outdoorsman.
OK, then you definitely know
102
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,040
even if I, Daniel Fernandez, do
not know the kind of things to
103
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,680
bring.
You might even know a natural
104
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,680
remedy to use to keep them away.
I do actually citronella.
105
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:59,320
OK, there you go.
That's what they put in wasp
106
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,440
propellant candles and shit.
I feel like I've heard wild
107
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,120
onions keep them away as well,
but I have no proof of that
108
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,320
working or not.
The Wilder the better.
109
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,920
Anyway, point is, we're set for
bugs, we're set for quicksand,
110
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,720
we're set for bandits, we're set
for vines.
111
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,360
Let's let's go exploring.
OK, And you head out into the
112
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,800
jungle.
It is hot, extremely hot out
113
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,000
here.
And Mug.
114
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:36,800
Unsurprisingly, it's a jungle.
Your truck is, at first,
115
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,200
relatively easy.
You're headed on roads that are
116
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,440
well maintained and whatnot.
As you get to the thicker parts
117
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:54,560
of the jungle, however, you
stumble across a yellow pickup
118
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,040
truck just sort of stuck in the
mud.
119
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,760
How long has it been there?
Looks like the elements have
120
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,520
taken a toll on it.
It's been sitting here for a
121
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:08,400
while as you are looking at it.
Your guy chimes in, says it's
122
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,920
probably from the other
expedition.
123
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,080
All right, check the glove box.
Would you be using, say,
124
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,800
evidence collection?
Sure.
125
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,360
There is not a lot of anything
in the truck.
126
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,080
It actually looks like it was
probably looted of anything
127
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,920
valuable.
That makes sense.
128
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,320
Other bodies.
There are no bodies.
129
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,400
There are shallow boot prints
around it, but you're not going
130
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,600
to be able to make too much out
of that because it's mostly been
131
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,280
damaged by the right.
You're not going to be able to
132
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,480
track it.
Another set of tire tracks,
133
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,520
however, is nearby, showing that
there was another vehicle on the
134
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,520
area.
But you actually, as you're
135
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,440
following it, you see that the
rain swept it away over a Cliff.
136
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,080
What a way to go.
And Jimmy, they were traveling
137
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,200
in basically the direction that
we were traveling.
138
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,240
Exactly.
Yeah, this is, this bodes well.
139
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,480
There are some dangling wires
there.
140
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,800
Mechanical or electrical repair?
Do either of you any of you guys
141
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,320
have?
Yep.
142
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,280
I do.
I have both.
143
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,560
OK, couple handy guys over here.
Yeah, the mechanically inclined
144
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,840
lovers here are noted that
they're dangling wires.
145
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,720
Somebody was trying to hot hot
wire this thing but they must
146
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,960
not know how or weren't trying
very hard.
147
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,000
We might know how.
You could hot wire it if you
148
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,200
would like.
It has been in the jungle for a
149
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,360
while.
It's not in great shape.
150
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,520
More importantly, this is
probably where you would need to
151
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,680
leave your car anyway as you
would be going the rest of the
152
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,480
way on foot.
OK, so this might be something
153
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,280
useful for coming back.
Absolutely.
154
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,640
That's good to know.
What if we Hotwire it and leave
155
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,480
it so if we need to leg it, we
can just come back to the truck
156
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,960
and well, leg it?
Well, you don't need to hot wire
157
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,960
things in advance.
In fact, you can't super hot
158
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,000
wire things in advance.
It's like when the wires go
159
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,800
together, the car starts up.
Yeah.
160
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,080
So you'll be able to come here
when you get back.
161
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,560
You don't need to do any work in
advance.
162
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,080
You need to just stick your head
under there, connect a couple of
163
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,880
wires, and you'll be good to go.
See.
164
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,960
That's the classic example of a
discrepancy between character
165
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,760
knowledge and player knowledge,
because Renee has no fucking
166
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,320
clue how any of this works.
And now you know how to hot wire
167
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,120
a car kindness you.
Know the vague principles of how
168
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,640
to hot wire a car.
Well, I know that.
169
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,560
I know now that you don't do it
in advance.
170
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,000
Yes.
OK, then fuck the truck.
171
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,880
Let's keep going, yeah?
Castillo is sort of eyeing you
172
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,160
guys while you're looking at the
truck and is like, we should get
173
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,280
moving, put some miles behind us
before it gets dark, yeah.
174
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,480
Fair enough.
Yeah, from.
175
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,880
The looks of it, the last group
left their cars there for a
176
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,200
while.
They haven't been back.
177
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,640
Someone came through and messed
with one and they rain washed
178
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,120
the other one away.
So good chance that truck won't
179
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,800
even be there when we come back
anyway.
180
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,400
It's.
Possible it?
181
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Would be handy to drive back, I
suppose, says Luke.
182
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,600
Yeah, but I don't know if we
could all fit in that truck.
183
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,160
No, I don't.
Think we'll have to, she says.
184
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Nobody dwell on what he meant by
that.
185
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,000
We all know what he meant.
Nobody.
186
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,560
Dwell on that, I just.
Clapped him on the bag.
187
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:35,360
That's the Spirit.
Your outdoorsman skill, those of
188
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,520
you who have it, I know Kearns
has it.
189
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,200
Did anybody else have it?
I should.
190
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,480
Have but no OK.
Great am I?
191
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,840
The only outdoorsman.
Yeah, I think so.
192
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,720
Ouch.
That's.
193
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,000
Why we hired a guide.
You are.
194
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,120
Moving along a trail.
This is not a game trail.
195
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,920
This is something used by humans
now and again.
196
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,720
Maybe not with great regularity,
but this is a human made trail
197
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,240
that we're on.
This is a human made trail we're
198
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,400
on, maybe not with great
regularity, but on occasion.
199
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,680
Thanks.
Kearns, you're so knowledgeable.
200
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,040
I try to be useful.
How do you?
201
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,600
Learn something like this Kearns
experience.
202
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,240
I'm also extremely good at
pulling things out of my ass as.
203
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:26,400
You are talking about your ass.
You run into a ominous stone
204
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,520
marker on the path.
No, an ominous stone marker.
205
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,480
It's.
About 9 feet tall and overgrown,
206
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,760
it's like a Sentinel made out of
vines.
207
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,920
What makes?
It ominous Dan let's.
208
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,440
Take a look at it, shall we?
What sort of skills do you think
209
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,640
we could use to understand this?
Oh, counting.
210
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,240
Anthropology or a cult?
Both make sense to me if it's a
211
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,920
cult in nature, but if not then
anthropology.
212
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,280
I'd.
Say use machete at first to
213
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,480
clear off the vines, Yes.
That too.
214
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,680
That too I.
Would also like to take a look
215
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:05,920
at it using archaeology.
Gotcha.
216
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,000
Oh, I've got.
Geology we can.
217
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,200
Do the everybody else's first.
OK, so anthropology, after you
218
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,960
take some chops to it, shows
that the carvings are Mayan
219
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,800
like.
You see warriors in cotton armor
220
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,400
standing on the backs of
decapitated Mayan bodies, snakes
221
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,960
Slytherin forth from their open
necks.
222
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,280
The warriors are holding severed
heads up towards the top of the
223
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,120
marker with apparent pride.
You're able to recognize sort of
224
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,440
all of these symbols here.
Like you would sort of get the
225
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,360
vibe that like, I think
somebody's being killed here,
226
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,400
but your knowledge of Mayan sort
of culture and whatnot allows
227
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,960
you to identify that a little
bit more.
228
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,160
Archaeologically.
You could tell that this marker
229
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,800
was once taller.
A portion of the stone has been
230
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,320
broken off of the top, which is
actually probably whatever was
231
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,520
depicted there was what the
warriors were holding the
232
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,680
severed heads up to.
Using my mouth skill, would I
233
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:09,480
know that that's where the mouth
might exist at the top of the
234
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,440
thing?
I'll I'll give you this, this
235
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,800
does not feel like the mouth
stuff that you've seen.
236
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,200
Before there's usually.
Not a lot of snakes involved in
237
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,000
the mouth stuff.
This seems like a different sort
238
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,760
of deal now.
At the top seems to be where a
239
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,520
mouth would be.
You are correct, but your skill
240
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,520
makes it feel does it.
It doesn't seem to quite line up
241
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,240
with the stuff you've seen
before with the bounds.
242
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,280
Oh.
Would this potentially be
243
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,760
Quetzalcoatl?
Could be.
244
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,160
Well, no Quetzalcoatl.
Well, I don't know if you have
245
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,360
anthropology, but anybody who
does have anthropology would
246
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,480
know that Quetzalcoatl actually
isn't really revered in the
247
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,120
Mayan culture.
They're revered more in the
248
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,240
Aztec culture, which is further
or western.
249
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,800
Guillermo sort of rolls his eyes
and says, It's an old artifact I
250
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,640
use as a path marker.
It shows we're on the right
251
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,320
track.
It's, it's just keep moving.
252
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:09,880
Oh, that's.
Right, it says.
253
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,520
Guillermo was here, here, right
here.
254
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,480
Meanwhile, Rick Luke says, oh
all right, and he gets out a
255
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,480
piece of paper and starts taking
a rubbing knot.
256
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,040
This is this exactly what I I I
recognize this from description
257
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,440
of the book I read.
The Jewel would post these on
258
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,160
their borders to warn against
the the Maya.
259
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,600
I'm going to be able to, and I'm
going to learn so much as he
260
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,840
takes the rubbing.
Like garlic for a werewolf,
261
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,840
you're.
Able to make some progress and
262
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:48,120
then night comes, you set down
your tents and you rest for the
263
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,480
night after a a sizable walk of
a day.
264
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,720
Just taking watch I'll.
Stay up late reading my new wet
265
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,480
book.
Oh, you do have a cool new wet
266
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,160
book.
Cool.
267
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Wet.
Book.
268
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,360
Oh man, such a cool wet book
didn't.
269
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,680
The last time we looked through
the wet book, it made everybody
270
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:16,200
like, do sanity checks.
Yeah, but you already made those
271
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,280
checks for.
Skimming it.
272
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,280
I was like.
No, I'll check this out later.
273
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,080
You guys have fun with the
sanity checks all?
274
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,680
Right in that I'll.
I'll leave you to your wet book
275
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,320
then.
Is it still wet?
276
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,760
Yes.
A day later, fantastic.
277
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,040
Yeah.
So you want to pour over this
278
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,080
book?
Yeah.
279
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,520
Absolutely.
Great.
280
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,880
That's gonna.
Cost you 3 stability and one
281
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,920
sanity.
All right are.
282
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,920
You 3 sanity, yeah.
You however, gained a point of
283
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,920
Cthulhu mythos.
Doesn't that remove another
284
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,360
sanity I'm?
Going to have included that in
285
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,760
the sand, OK.
I will say I am now shaken this.
286
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,240
Book is all about the liar from
beyond.
287
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:08,600
Perfect, yes.
Exactly, and in fact two things.
288
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,560
One, you are going to be visibly
shaken after having read this
289
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,960
book.
However, you did learn a ritual.
290
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Here it's contact and bind the
liar from beyond.
291
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,080
OK.
You could summon an aspect of
292
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,720
the Liar from beyond to you.
It's going to involve get more
293
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,160
stability.
Insanity loss.
294
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,440
A stability test of four and you
have to spend one hour drinking
295
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,800
nectar 'cause.
I'll have to get a whole bunch
296
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:43,920
of nectar like a keg.
Yeah, at least that's what it
297
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,960
seems to be.
You could learn more about it if
298
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,000
you want to by spending a point
of Cthulhu Mythos, but you just
299
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,360
got that point, so maybe you
don't want to use it right away.
300
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,480
Oh.
I had one from the rift of the
301
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,720
MA I believe.
Oh.
302
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,760
OK, so this.
Brings me to 20.
303
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,840
Congrats.
Well, if you would like to spend
304
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,720
a point, you can learn more
about the ritual.
305
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,200
That feels like something for
tomorrow night.
306
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,359
OK.
Hey, Mr. Kane, what you got
307
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,240
there?
Wet Book.
308
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,960
Don't look at the wet.
Book It's fucked up.
309
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,520
It's too.
Late JB.
310
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,400
I looked at the book.
What's in it?
311
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:25,119
Wet.
OK, can I like gently take the
312
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:30,040
book and put it away somewhere?
I proffer it with shaking hands.
313
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,640
Oh boy.
Colin, buddy, you should not
314
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,600
have read the wet book here.
No.
315
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:37,480
Come here.
Go sit by the fire.
316
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,320
Some soup will do you good.
Yeah, you just still are
317
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,640
thinking about the book.
It's maybe the most upsetting
318
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,440
thing you've ever read.
It's a collection of imagery and
319
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,480
handwritten accounts from the
medieval era to the present.
320
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,800
It's a grotesque sort of
scrapbook, remembering Colts and
321
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,600
individuals.
It's the kind of shit that would
322
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,720
actually have, like, maybe even
shocked at Cavarilla's 1924
323
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,560
cultists.
Like, this is a fucked up bad
324
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,760
book.
And like the pages stick
325
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,320
together.
Gross.
326
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,760
What were they doing with this
book?
327
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,160
You know what they were doing
with this?
328
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,680
Book.
I touched it.
329
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,040
We all touched it.
We all touched it.
330
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,920
Yeah, can.
They like rub my hands with some
331
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,640
anti antiseptic or something.
I can't.
332
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,600
Believe people are only making
this connection an episode
333
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,360
later, yeah.
I figured we all knew that it
334
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,440
that was the reason the book was
sticking together.
335
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,480
I don't know when.
They knew Kearns didn't.
336
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,880
This is the first time I'm
seeing it.
337
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:41,920
That's a good.
Point.
338
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,080
To be honest, Nathan assumed it
was pus or something so.
339
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,920
Oh, Nathan, it might have.
Been nectar too.
340
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,160
That's sort of sticky.
Don't like the book?
341
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,080
You see, that's really bad for
me specifically, so I'm going to
342
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,600
operate under the assumption
that it's not Nectar.
343
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,200
But you'll just keep holding on
to this book then, huh?
344
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,760
OK, who?
Who's holding on to the book
345
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,120
then?
Kearns, you said you were going
346
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,440
to take the book.
I'm not holding on to anything.
347
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,560
I'm going to put it away
somewhere.
348
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,160
Oh, there you go.
Oh yeah, just.
349
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,240
Gonna shove it like one of the
packs that yeah porters are
350
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,040
carrying so.
Hold on, that makes sense, not.
351
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,120
Maybe not in the in those packs.
Hey, yeah, it's.
352
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,440
Up to you, I'll shove.
It in mine OK?
353
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,440
Well, I can't tell you what sort
of horrible dreams you might
354
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,560
have.
Maybe you're having lovely
355
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,480
dreams.
There's no particular prophetic
356
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,200
dreams that come to you this
night and your next day you
357
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,320
begin your journey.
My dreams are disconcertingly
358
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,480
cheerful.
To be perfectly honest, I was
359
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:47,960
worried about that.
I don't do very well with dream
360
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,960
stuff.
Yeah, your dreams sort of
361
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,320
stopped when K passed.
Anyway I.
362
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,160
Don't want to think too hard
about it.
363
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,560
Smart.
Smart, the thing.
364
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,440
That you made me start thinking
about is the fact that this
365
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,440
storm that's blowing in today
seems baffling.
366
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,600
No storm was supposed to be in
this area for paint.
367
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:17,000
It seems unnatural.
The jungle itself is trembling.
368
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,160
The following rain.
The trail turns into a muddy
369
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520
rivulet.
All of the water is hearing
370
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:27,000
cold, almost weird.
And it's impossible to see more
371
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,360
than 10 or 20 feet ahead of us.
That's bad.
372
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,320
Preparedness for raincoats and
rubber boots?
373
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,600
Sure.
Spend or roll difficult.
374
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,360
People.
I would like to have a rope and
375
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:42,600
lash myself to current so I
don't get lost.
376
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,080
It's not.
Necessarily a bad idea for
377
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,640
everyone to be in close
proximity, but being tied
378
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,600
together feels like a quick way
to die by quicksand.
379
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,800
Or to pull.
Some other quicksand.
380
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,600
Not if it's me sinking.
I'm pretty heavy and I haven't
381
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,440
got.
Guillermo, as the storm
382
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,000
continue, says it might be a
good idea to make camp.
383
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,040
What it might be a good idea to
make camp.
384
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,480
It'll take a little longer, but
we need to wait out this storm.
385
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,320
What and?
Rick says don't listen to him,
386
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,560
he's crazy.
Come on, let's go.
387
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,760
What?
Rick, remember?
388
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,760
Not the guy I.
Do have points in a cult?
389
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,200
Is this storm supernatural in
nature?
390
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,680
Not.
Opposite, if that makes sense.
391
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,480
All right.
There's no like chanting on the
392
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:46,080
wind or anything.
You know, if you would like to
393
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,600
continue through the storm, you
will need to make athletics
394
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,760
checks Difficulty 4 If you would
like to stay, it's going to add
395
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,560
length to your journey and
you're also going to be
396
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,920
miserable in a rainy camp.
Your call I.
397
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,920
Vote misery.
I vote push on.
398
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,720
Well, we hired the guide for a
reason, Kearns.
399
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,160
He says we should set up camp.
Maybe we should set up camp.
400
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,280
Yeah.
I'm all for listening to the
401
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,240
guide on this one.
Except I'm we're all saying this
402
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,120
very loud because it's
cacophonous.
403
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,840
Yeah.
What?
404
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:20,720
What?
What?
405
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,840
Turn down for.
That's a good idea, JB.
406
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,960
What?
Yeah, maybe we should set up
407
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,280
Cam.
All right, fair enough.
408
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,320
OK.
I need somebody to roll me AD 6
409
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,320
I got.
This three the storm.
410
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,520
Continues for five fucking days.
What?
411
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,440
OK, so we have to push on now.
You can never tell when you're
412
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,760
rolling a like something for
flat luck whether you want high
413
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,200
or low.
Sometimes you need your most
414
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,080
blessed player, and sometimes
you need your most cursed.
415
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,960
I will say this, morale is low,
yeah.
416
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,760
No shit.
Preparedness for whiskey.
417
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,920
I don't think you even need to
roll for that.
418
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,080
Yeah, pass it around.
Collin looks real hard but
419
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,720
ultimately does not drink.
Part of it regrets it.
420
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:26,280
Good for you friend.
Is there anything in particular
421
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,440
you imagined you get up to in
the horrible storm?
422
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,760
Well.
At the end of Day 2, Collins
423
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,160
says, well, I can't imagine it's
going to last much longer.
424
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,680
So I guess before we move out
tomorrow, I'll learn a bit more
425
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,200
about that, Richard.
Did you want to spend the point
426
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,320
of Cthulhu Methos on this?
Yeah.
427
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:51,200
What's your magic so many
secrets possibly fun been
428
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,960
reality.
It just knows your mind is not.
429
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,520
What awful ramifications does
doing that have It's.
430
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,960
Just a spam.
Oh, OK, yeah.
431
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,960
I will tell you this, while the
ritual you've learned from this
432
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,000
book says that you will summon
and find, it only really does
433
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,680
the first part.
It feels like the stuff about
434
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,440
finding it is actually kind of
a, well, a lie.
435
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,880
Yeah, I figured there'd be a.
Couple of those in there, yeah.
436
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:25,320
That makes sense, but you are
absolutely positive that you
437
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,120
could summon an aspect of the
Liar from Beyond to you like
438
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,800
right now.
Well, you need some nectar, but
439
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,040
if you had some nectar you could
do. 5th night, Collins being
440
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,280
miserable for three more days.
He's like, you know what?
441
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,800
Fucking tomorrow I'm gonna
fucking do it.
442
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:46,400
So I I.
Think at some point before Colin
443
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,560
gets to that point, Smalls is
going to be going around like
444
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,640
over this week talking to
everybody in the group and like
445
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,200
essentially doing his job of
being the group psychologist.
446
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,040
Oh, that.
Actually might be a useful thing
447
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,280
to do, especially for our shaken
book reader.
448
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,840
Yeah.
So I think one of the things
449
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,600
specifically that Smalls is
going to do is going to sit down
450
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:19,240
with Colin and have a bit of a
talk about how he's feeling and
451
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:24,360
how he's doing.
So I would like to try and
452
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:27,680
restore some lost stability
point handy.
453
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,600
To have a therapist around, I
guess, yeah.
454
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,920
I'm going to spend 6 in total,
so it's going to give you 4
455
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,960
back.
OK, Hey, doc, I'm just going to
456
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,880
give you a hint like this is
probably good because he was
457
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,360
already in the fucking negatives
and we haven't even gotten to
458
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:42,200
the site.
There's going to be a lot of
459
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,840
people who need therapy, so be
careful with you.
460
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,560
You might want to hold on to
those points.
461
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,800
Yeah, you might be seeing some.
You're going to see some fucked
462
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,960
up shit.
Love seeing fucked up shit.
463
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:57,120
Yeah, I have 4 points.
That I can use to snap people
464
00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:59,040
back into lucidity.
It's fine I think.
465
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,080
As we huddle together for
warmth, I'm just going to ask,
466
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,280
Jbi saw you were reading some
architecture.
467
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,800
Do you like architecture?
Yeah.
468
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,560
Yeah, it's, it's an interesting
subject, honestly.
469
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,400
When this whole bullshit is
over, I'm going to take you to
470
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,200
to Spain.
Do you want to fly with me to
471
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,240
Spain?
Oh yeah, no, yeah, that sounds,
472
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,080
that's actually sounds really
lovely.
473
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,720
I do have to tell you, though,
as a writer, I'm legally
474
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,040
obligated to warn you that
that's what dead people say in
475
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:42,680
stories before they die.
So let's both not die and then
476
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,400
go to Spain.
Yeah, I would love to show you
477
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,160
Barcelona.
There's this this architecture
478
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,520
who is either a genius or Mad
Men or both.
479
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,680
It's it's fantastic.
It's really pretty most.
480
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,160
Architects are both, so yeah,
that sounds lovely.
481
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,400
Yeah.
Just cut to another scene in a
482
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,760
fascinating villa or something.
Somebody's just in a echoey
483
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,320
hall.
Where is the washroom?
484
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,880
I didn't know we were doing
Family Guy style cutaway gags,
485
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,600
but sure, honestly.
I thought it was going to be
486
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,360
some sort of buttress comment.
God, we don't.
487
00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:28,000
Go, Sir.
Christ, I will spare you the
488
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,800
rest of the miserable rain.
I think we will Fast forward to
489
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,680
the rain eventually stopping.
The trail is still extremely
490
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,560
muddy, but you are going to be
able to move forward.
491
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,200
I actually I should have asked
you this in the 1st place.
492
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,200
What is the order that you are
walking in?
493
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,000
I'd.
Imagine currents in the front
494
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:49,360
guide.
First.
495
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,520
Well.
Yes, the the guide is leading
496
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,440
the way.
I mean of the four of you.
497
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,360
I'm in the front, JB behind me
then.
498
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:01,600
Probably Smalls, then Colin to
bring up the rear.
499
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,320
I'm all right being 3rd or 4th
or smalls.
500
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,160
I was.
Going to say smalls is probably
501
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,640
in the middle somewhere.
All.
502
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,160
Right I'll.
Be up in the rear just because I
503
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,440
I'm still muttering to myself.
OK, rain.
504
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,680
Great.
We're going to make athletics
505
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,800
checks in order of marching
orders, so first Kurds has to
506
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,200
make an athletics check
difficulty for I'm.
507
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,000
Going to spend one point.
OK, very nice to spend.
508
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,160
Cool you are set JPI need you to
make an athletic check
509
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,040
difficulty for.
I'm going to spend 2 now.
510
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,320
I'll spend one point I failed.
Hey there.
511
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,280
Listeners, did you turn in for a
24 hour extra live stream last
512
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,880
year?
If not, here's just a few of the
513
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:52,800
things you may have missed.
So if you'd like to see more of
514
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,200
that and also help some kids out
at the same time, TuneIn

00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,560
starting April 17th.
Watch the discord and or the

show notes for more details.
Hey.
517
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,080
Everyone, we here at Daniel's
Dread Tails have a Patreon now.
518
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,280

everything.

520
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,280
access to GM notes and
unreleased content.
521
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,560
It's good stuff.
The next one up, Resident of New
522
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,200
Hell Mouth adds shout outs on
the show, the ability to name

characters, raw mixes of the new
episodes, and our behind the
524
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,480
scenes Discord channel.
And finally, the highest tier
525
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,080
Angry Clockwork Wife lets you
join in on our monthly streams
526
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,800
and be introduced as an Angry
Clockwork.
527
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,960
Wife, if that's what you're into
so.
528
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,000
Please, if any of that sounds
appealing to you then join up.
529
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,640
We'd love to have you and your
money too much.
530
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,160
Fair enough.
All the same, do consider.
531
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,120
Thanks for listening and back to
the show.
532
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,200
OK.
Great.
533
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,280
That'd be not great.
But other people are not going
534
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,560
to need to roll JB.
You take a step and the trail
535
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:01,040
sort of collapses underneath.
Not into like a trap pit or
536
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,080
anything, but you just start
rolling down in like a sudden
537
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,920
little budslide can.
I fuck fuck, fuck, fuck.
538
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,240
Fuck.
Can I react fast enough to
539
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,480
launch forward to try and grab
him?
540
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,760
No, I summon the.
Lawyer from beyond?
541
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,240
No, that takes an.
Hour of drinking back to
542
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,200
enchanting.
Right, so probably wouldn't help
543
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,240
here.
No, no under.
544
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,840
What circumstances would it
help?
545
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,160
I don't know, let's find out.
So you.
546
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,400
What you.
Bang into some tree trunks and
547
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,160
huge boulders as you go down the
hill.
548
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,800
You take AD 6 -, 1 damage.
I'll roll it.
549
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,120
I'll roll it.
Roll.
550
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,480
It OK, not a one.
Well that's that's half my
551
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,080
health bar, so I take 4 damage,
presumably because I smacked
552
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,280
several things in the middle of
this mudslide.
553
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,880
And you slam into a creepy
looking idol at the bottom of
554
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,400
the hill.
Joy.
555
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,160
Can I roll after him of?
Course no.
556
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,840
No, no, no, no, no.
Roll well.
557
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,040
Slide whatever, like a
controlled sort of slide, OK.
558
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,840
Rick also is going to jump down
to help as well as they are both
559
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,760
going to go down.
Guillermo sort of looks down and
560
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,280
says, yeah, get them, get them
out of there.
561
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,000
I will find something to secure
a rope to.
562
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,120
OK.
That's smart.
563
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,040
I think smalls would probably go
to help as well.
564
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,840
It's.
Going to be a difficulty to
565
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,840
athletics check to make it down
safely I'll.
566
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:38,880
Spend a point, yeah.
I.
567
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,120
Will just spend a point of
athletics.
568
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,600
Rick is going to spend a point
of athletics as well while.
569
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,560
Everybody's coming down this
idol that I knocked into.
570
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,840
Does my knowledge of
anthropology or a cult help me
571
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,440
at all?
Well, it appears to be almost
572
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,880
identical to the previous big
stone marker that you saw.
573
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,760
However, the top portion has not
broken off of this one and you
574
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:14,040
look up and you see a broad frog
like mouth with razored fangs
575
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,800
reaching down with a grasping
tongue to devour the offered
576
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,840
heads.
Fuck and the.
577
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,600
Body of the creature sort of
roils upwards in a bunch of
578
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,000
mounds of distorted and
gluttonous flesh that.
579
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,200
Sounds like the mouth we all
know and love.
580
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,880
I will say the mouth that you
have seen have looked like
581
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:39,160
fucked up mouths.
This looks like like it's a
582
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,480
razor fanged mouth but it's not
full of like disgusting teeth
583
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,720
that are like some are dying and
like all over the place.
584
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,000
These are just like razor sharp
fangs.
585
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,680
It's animalistic, not eldritch.
Wow.
586
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,080
Well, it might be eldritch, but
not still.
587
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,960
Eldritch.
Not in the same way that the
588
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,200
Wire is.
Yeah, it's interesting.
589
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,720
It's a different.
Flavor of eldritch.
590
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,400
Interesting, you know.
Coke to the Liar's Pepsi
591
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:08,360
Eldritch.
Classic.
592
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,560
While this is happening, can I
spend the two points in first
593
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:13,640
aid?
Absolutely.
594
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,120
Yeah, I'm going.
To do that which gets you back
595
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,200
to full I.
Appreciate it.
596
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:23,160
I think I hit my head on a rock.
You're so squishy, it's.
597
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,520
True, it's true.
I'm a writer.
598
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,680
Why did I think this was a good
idea?
599
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,280
Oh my God, I was hired to solve
a basic mystery.
600
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:37,000
How the fuck did I end up here?
You're OK, I'm right here.
601
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,080
Yeah, no, I'm good.
I'm good.
602
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,440
Thanks.
Just, you know.
603
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,760
Are you are you OK?
Rick, I'm good.
604
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:44,680
You look you.
Look good.
605
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,160
You look good.
Come on, I'm good.
606
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,680
There.
He is, He gives you like a pat
607
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,000
on the back.
There he is.
608
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,280
All right, I.
Have no idea how to feel about
609
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,760
Rick as a person and he.
Looks up at the statue and sort
610
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,720
of gasps as he sees the thing at
the top of it.
611
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,080
Wow, that's I don't.
I've never seen anything like
612
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,480
that before.
Do you realize what this means?
613
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,520
We might be the first outsiders
to see the God of the Joel in
614
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,600
nearly 100 years, Guillermo come
down and see this.
615
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:19,639
Guillermo sort of calls down and
says I'm good.
616
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,440
At the very least, you should
get a rubbing of this one too.
617
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:26,800
It's.
All the way at the top.
618
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,840
Come on, give me a boost.
Give me a boost, God.
619
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,679
Against my better judgement, I
do give him a boost.
620
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,719
Someone help Nick grab one out
on that statue and get back up
621
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,320
here.
Now you come on.
622
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,480
Is it attached to the ground?
Yes.
623
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,760
It is.
No, it's.
624
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,120
Like deep in the ground.
With that he says, let's get
625
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,880
going, I guess.
Oh boy, after all that rain, I
626
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,000
was starting to lose hope.
But this is still aren't you
627
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,880
excited?
I look, I I'm sorry that you got
628
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,440
hurt, but look at the discovery
that you found.
629
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:08,960
Big old mouth statue.
At least I like your moxie.
630
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,080
Yeah, I.
Throw down a rope, presumably
631
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,560
having attached it to something
on this end, yes.
632
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,040
Yeah, that's.
That's probably the safest and
633
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,800
smartest way back up.
Yeah.
634
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,400
Ever tried to climb a mud Cliff
before?
635
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:21,920
I have.
It's not fun.
636
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:22,840
Yeah.
It's.
637
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,120
It's not great, yeah.
Thankfully this one isn't really
638
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,000
steep or really far.
You didn't fall like super far,
639
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,080
you just get some stuff, but a
rope would definitely be
640
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,240
necessary because it's a goddamn
mudslide.
641
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,640
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all.
Right.
642
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,560
Are we ready to go?
Says Guillermo.
643
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,160
Yeah.
Looks like it he's.
644
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,800
Already started going without
you really even responding I.
645
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,040
Forgot this guy's a bit of an
asshole.
646
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,880
A bit of a chip.
On his shoulder, yeah.
647
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:52,440
Look, we're wasting time.
I don't want us to run out of
648
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,000
food.
I packed some extra food, but
649
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,120
the storm was not what I had
planned.
650
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,840
We were.
Only a day out, we could have
651
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,640
gone back for more.
Hey, where are you going?
652
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,400
You're able to try out through
the.
653
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,760
Logistics of that.
Who do you figure we're going to
654
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,080
have to eat first?
I hate to say it, but definitely
655
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,120
Rick, yeah.
Rick.
656
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,240
Spent athletics points to get
down.
657
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,560
You got a lot of those, huh?
Well, I suppose you already
658
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,760
started butchering me.
Shit.
659
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,080
I mean Jesus.
Christ.
660
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,720
I could have left you there, OK?
Yeah, of course, no man left
661
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:40,440
behind, just parts of them there
was.
662
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,680
A mouth on your arm.
What did you expect us to do?
663
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,840
Hey at.
Least you still got your right
664
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,400
behind, left right.
No man left behind.
665
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,720
Oh, I I get it.
I get it.
666
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:52,640
That was left.
Arm.
667
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,640
Mr. Wiggles was going to be my
friend.
668
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,120
OK, yeah, we're setting up camp.
We're setting up camp in.
669
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,840
Fact as you're getting down for
the night, if you would like,
670
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,640
you know what it's not even
required.
671
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,280
You don't need to do it if you
don't want, but if you would
672
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,040
like, you should make a sense
trouble check difficulty for
673
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:12,760
three points.
Spent I'll.
674
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,600
Just roll it since yeah, that's
the one.
675
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,280
I'm just going.
To spend the 33.
676
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,040
Yeah.
OK, so two people see it coming
677
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,160
and two others do not, OK.
Well, the two people who see it,
678
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,000
one of you notices that Rick is
gone.
679
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,520
The other one of you notices
that Guillermo is gone.
680
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,560
What the fuck?
They were just here like.
681
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,520
Other tracks.
Yes, there are tracks in the bud
682
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,720
going.
The same direction, or two
683
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:42,320
opposite directions, or whatever
opposite.
684
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,120
Directions.
OK, Guillermo took his crew.
685
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,920
No, the crew is still here.
Oh.
686
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,000
Why would they do that?
What happened does.
687
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,960
He do this often.
I ask Guillermo's men.
688
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,400
They have.
Not really know.
689
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:04,400
It's like Guillermo's an expert.
Yeah, so where the hell did he
690
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,960
expertly fuck off to?
Well.
691
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,000
You have a couple of options,
like do you want to like yell,
692
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,680
like, hey, where'd you guys go?
Like you could do that.
693
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,800
You could try to go out in the
jungle, try to find them like
694
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,760
you know, I don't know if you
want to do both of.
695
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,120
Those sound like terrible ideas.
What do you think?
696
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:24,080
Smalls, I am not skilled at
finding somebody in a an
697
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:29,240
environment such as this, so I
would not be the best to go out
698
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:33,040
and look.
However, it really, if we're, if
699
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,920
any of us are going to go out
and look, it should be for one
700
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,680
or the other of them and we
don't know which one went in
701
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,480
which direction.
As you were saying, they went in
702
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,920
two different directions,
correct.
703
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:44,520
Oh.
Right.
704
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,080
OK, Yeah, the men are still
here.
705
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,200
I mean, presumably they were
wearing different shoes.
706
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,000
Was.
Anyone paying attention to the
707
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,000
to the to their shoes?
What?
708
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,640
Skill would be paying attention
to their shoes, I.
709
00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,520
Guess forensics I could.
Give you forensics for that,
710
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,880
yeah.
Oh yeah, actually this would be
711
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,520
what you would use forensics
for.
712
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,160
Yeah, I know some stuff, yeah.
OK.
713
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,680
So you see, you're able to tell
that one of sets of boots is
714
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,200
guillerbos and one of them
tricks.
715
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,880
And it just looks like they
walked off.
716
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,040
No signs of a struggle.
No, no.
717
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,920
Just looks like they walked out
into the jungle.
718
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,120
Walked.
Or ran, walked.
719
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,680
Were they?
Going to take a shit or
720
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,120
something.
Well, maybe they're shitting as
721
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,480
fast as they can.
I'm.
722
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,720
Never going to live that down.
I can go look if you want me to.
723
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,360
I tell the party.
Yeah, I.
724
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,960
Was going to say, at the risk of
rushing, you need to decide if
725
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,640
you're going to do something
about this or not.
726
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,440
So it sounds like OK Kurds wants
to go look.
727
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,200
I can volunteer, OK?
Are you going to be safe over
728
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,440
here?
I feel like I feel like you
729
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:49,920
shouldn't go alone.
I.
730
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,040
Think I Will Survive?
Oh you fucking better man,
731
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,720
Better off.
If you are going that at least
732
00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:00,360
one of the other one of us goes
with you, yeah.
733
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:06,400
I was going to ask one of the
Guillermo's men, actually, I.
734
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,640
Would say it would be better for
one of us.
735
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,960
Well.
I'll go, I can't sleep anyway.
736
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,480
Keep.
Thinking of the book, I don't
737
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,000
want to read any more of it, but
I sort of do OK.
738
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,440
Yeah, Colin should go with you,
OK.
739
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,720
Yeah, let's take a walk, man.
Yeah, right.
740
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,200
And at the first sign of
trouble, you 2 come sprinting
741
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,800
your asses back right here.
Roger, Roger.
742
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,800
All right.
We're looking for Guillermo, I
743
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,000
think.
Guillermo.
744
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,440
'S a professional.
If anybody's in danger of not
745
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:39,000
making it back, it'll be Nick.
Yeah, Rick Guillermo's our guy.
746
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,040
That's.
Why we need him more than Rick,
747
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,560
Yeah.
I mean, you guys could split up
748
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,320
and look for both of them.
You would like that, wouldn't
749
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,720
you?
We're not doing that.
750
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,840
I think Guillermo should take
priority, yeah, but.
751
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,840
You're not with us well.
That's just my opinion.
752
00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,000
Do whatever you want, man.
All right?
753
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:03,440
Rock, paper, Scissors I.
Think since I don't have an
754
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,000
outdoorsman I'm following
currents either way or we.
755
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,560
Could rock, paper, scissors?
Sure.
756
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,400
Let's do that, no.
I'm going to need both of you to
757
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,440
make stealth checks difficulty
3.
758
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,840
Oh shit.
Do I have that now?
759
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,120
Nope.
Difficulty 3, yeah.
760
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,280
Which?
Means I'm at a -1, correct?
761
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,080
Yes, that is a three.
Nice.
762
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,240
And rolled a file, succeeded.
With style OK.
763
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:36,480
Do you see Guillermo is talking
to someone a shadowy I'm.
764
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,640
Sorry.
What was really funny?
765
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,800
Nothing.
You see Guillermo and then
766
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,880
Russell mime jerk by the.
Way, just real quick, back at
767
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,000
the camp, you see Rick walk back
into the camp and go to a tent.
768
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,320
That's good.
OK, OK, Now we know what Rick's
769
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:56,480
been doing.
Yeah.
770
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,280
Unrelated to the thing, Russell
was just Miami.
771
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,120
I'm sure I'll.
Go interrogate him later.
772
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,400
But first your guys's scene.
OK, who's?
773
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,200
He talking to.
You can't really tell it's a
774
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,480
shadowy figure.
In fact, it seems that you see
775
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,360
them at the end of their
conversation and that figure
776
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,000
slips into the jungle shadowing.
Like.
777
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,440
Disappears into thin air like
no.
778
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,840
Just like into the trees and
stuff.
779
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,400
Are you going to shadow them?
Yeah, I'll try.
780
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,120
And track down a shadowy figure.
OK, I might just stay with
781
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,520
Guillermo.
Works for me.
782
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,160
I don't want you to go alone in
there, Drama.
783
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:40,000
It's going to be a difficulty 5
to trace the shadowy figure as
784
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,920
an.
Occupational benefit I may spend
785
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,600
disguise or shadowing after the
role 2 to one when focused and
786
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,360
not contested.
Would this be such a instance?
787
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:50,720
Yeah.
I guess so.
788
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,440
All right.
Perfect, I'm going to.
789
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,200
Spend difficulty 5.
I am not shaken anymore.
790
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,040
I will spend 3 points.
For this so you.
791
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,760
Don't need to spend them yet,
right?
792
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,880
Or you're going to spend some of
them now and some of them later.
793
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,120
Yeah, I.
Could roll like a 1 and I
794
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:09,160
probably wouldn't want to roll
or want to spend.
795
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,760
I see what you said.
Yeah, I see what you said.
796
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,720
OK all.
Eight points to pass.
797
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,480
That's a six.
OK, do.
798
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,320
You have outdoors with Scout, I
do.
799
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,120
Not I do.
But I only have two points in
800
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,720
shadowing.
If you were the same person,
801
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:26,760
this would be easier, yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty much the
802
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,440
story of this campaign.
You.
803
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,520
Follow the man for a little
while, you realize that this is
804
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:37,600
definitely a man, and it looks
like he is carrying a rifle
805
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:42,160
slung over his shoulder, and you
hear him muttering to himself in
806
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,400
Spanish.
I speak.
807
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:49,600
Spanish beautiful.
It's mostly just swears and he
808
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,600
doesn't.
Have outdoorsman.
809
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,280
Either do.
Hear him say something else
810
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,200
though.
Goximo Gochimo.
811
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,360
Goximal, goximal, goximal.
OK.
812
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,960
So it's definitely a different
word than we've had before.
813
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,800
Yeah, no.
Is a name that you heard.
814
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,880
I think you saw it in maybe one
of the letters.
815
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,000
Yeah, yeah.
OK, so it is.
816
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,600
The same word it.
Is the same word.
817
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,600
Yes.
And that was the name that he
818
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,320
had.
The fucking wife, That guy.
819
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,480
The idiot.
Brooks.
820
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,480
Yeah, Brooks, that is the name
that Brooks said that the liar
821
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,160
has the.
Idiot with the wife is how I
822
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,560
will exclusively be referring to
him as now on.
823
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,720
However, you sort of make a
noise as you hit a branch after
824
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:36,240
some time and he runs off into
the joke.
825
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,520
You think he may have seen you
actually, but he does not turn
826
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,280
to confront you.
Instead, he just runs.
827
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,280
I will flee blindly into the
jungle hoping to make my way
828
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,360
back to camp.
Dude.
829
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,160
You didn't have to describe it
like that.
830
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,320
You could have said, I make my
way back to camp.
831
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:50,800
You make.
It back.
832
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:52,600
There you go.
See, it worked out good.
833
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,560
Now, Kerns, do you say anything
to Guillermo, my first?
834
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,840
Instinct is to confront him, but
I don't do that.
835
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,640
I will see what else he's going
to do, I mean.
836
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,920
He just walked back to the camp,
OK.
837
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,680
Cool, I do the same.
I am.
838
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,920
Suddenly feeling very unsafe on
this journey.
839
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,600
You said you.
Wanted to talk to Rick.
840
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,520
Is that right back at the camp,
Yeah.
841
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,320
Yeah, just casually.
Hey, man, I saw you were out.
842
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,920
Is everything all right?
What happened?
843
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,040
Yeah, I.
Had to take a leak.
844
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:26,680
Assessed honesty he's.
Telling the truth, OK.
845
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,960
Well, at least that's someone
who is all right.
846
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:32,360
Sorry, man.
Just, you know, never hurts to
847
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,080
be too careful.
You have a good night.
848
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,160
Yeah.
Good night, that is.
849
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,120
Presumably we already shared
what we found out with the
850
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,240
group.
Yeah, OK.
851
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,400
So that's bad, right?
Yeah, it's.
852
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,840
Perfectly natural to need to
pee, you know.
853
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,920
What I'm talking about Colin.
How many men does Guillermo have
854
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,080
with him there?
Are five forks.
855
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,760
Yeah, Currents can take him.
I probably could at that.
856
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,040
That's probably.
True, Actually, yeah.
857
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:08,520
But I don't know if I should.
I didn't assess honesty when I
858
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,680
when I asked.
Guillermo does that often.
859
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,360
You didn't.
Talk to Guillermo, did you?
860
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:13,680
Did you want to talk to
Guillermo?
861
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,280
No, I see the Porter.
Yeah.
862
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,320
Oh.
Yeah, the Porter.
863
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,760
Yeah, they didn't seem to be
lying to you, OK.
864
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,240
Well, that's good.
I mean, I'm just paranoid enough
865
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:27,480
to like be auto assessing
honesty on everything, yeah.
866
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,880
Honestly, that's fair in this
adventure.
867
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:31,840
So.
What?
868
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,040
What are you?
What are you gentlemen want to
869
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,760
do?
Well, Well, I.
870
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,360
Think we should confront him?
I think.
871
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,800
Too, I mean.
I will follow your gentleman's
872
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,280
lead if that's what we're going
to do.
873
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,760
I.
Don't OK, on the one hand,
874
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,120
confronting anyone is inherently
dangerous.
875
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:54,000
But if he leads us into a trap,
that's equally bad, arguably
876
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,560
worse.
Probably worse.
877
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,640
Probably worse.
Yeah, but if he knows that we're
878
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:04,040
on to him and we don't confront
him, that's still bad.
879
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,560
So you.
Rolled your stealth checks
880
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,000
effectively.
He did not see OK.
881
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,800
All right, so I don't.
Want to be let into a trap?
882
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,200
The same.
Here maybe it's.
883
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,960
Another ancient secret order
that's.
884
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:20,280
Possible, but well.
I'm going to let one of you
885
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,480
gentlemen to start the
conversation.
886
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,640
I tend to be a bit ham handed
about it.
887
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,280
All right, I'll take a nice
gentle touch.
888
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,360
Hey, fuck ass.
Oh my God.
889
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:37,080
Oh my God.
Let me sleep.
890
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,120
We should be getting to the site
tomorrow I hope.
891
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:44,280
Just go back to bed, I mean.
To be fair it I'd I'd also be
892
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,920
pretty surly if I was woken up
with hey fuck ass.
893
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,680
Do we have a problem that's?
Yeah, I don't know.
894
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,920
Do we do?
We you know what?
895
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,040
Who are you talking?
To in the jungle, yeah, OK.
896
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:58,920
We're going for it, all right.
What?
897
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,360
It Oh OK.
How did you look?
898
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:05,040
I went out to pee and one of the
locals came and confronted me.
899
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:09,240
He's trying to scare us off,
saying something about a an evil
900
00:48:09,240 --> 00:48:12,680
God that protects these ruins.
And I didn't want you worry
901
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:13,760
about it.
I didn't bring it up.
902
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,320
Assess.
Honesty OK how do I break he's
903
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:18,680
a.
Fuck ass, he actually.
904
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,680
Went to shit.
He was going out to he's lying.
905
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:24,440
Yes, OK.
Lovely.
906
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,520
We can get granular with this
but.
907
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,920
He.
Is telling part of the truth?
908
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:30,240
Should.
I punch him.
909
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,880
He's trying to hide something
from you about what he said, OK?
910
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,920
All right, I will go reassurance
then.
911
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,240
And if it's specifically about
that man, I'll be like, no, no,
912
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:43,280
there's no need to hide anything
from us.
913
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,200
We're among friends and paying
you quite well.
914
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:51,800
Look.
It was Exposito, a guy from the
915
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,400
last Oh shit.
Yeah, no wonder he slipped me so
916
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:55,320
easy.
He.
917
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,920
Wanted us to turn back, did he?
Give a specific reason why or
918
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:01,480
just threats.
He was just.
919
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,080
Kind of a threat.
I don't know if he was a good
920
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,200
guide for the last group, but
don't worry about him, we'll be
921
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,440
OK.
And Guillermo Pats a revolver
922
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,240
that he has on his weights.
I can handle him and anything
923
00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:14,840
else that might come our way.
Is that a?
924
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,280
Gun in your pocket or Oh no,
it's a gun, No.
925
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:18,480
It's a gun.
It's definitely.
926
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:19,040
A gun.
Yeah.
927
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,240
And, you know, I, I, I do hate
to do this, but assessed honesty
928
00:49:23,240 --> 00:49:25,280
again.
Was that the complete truth this
929
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,720
time I mean.
No, he's not telling you the
930
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:29,840
complete, of course.
Not it's all right.
931
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,400
Ancient secret order involved.
It's It's OK.
932
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:33,440
You can trust us.
We're cool.
933
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:34,960
He.
Raises an eyebrow.
934
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,600
It says.
What are you talking about,
935
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,240
honestly?
Can't turn around without
936
00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:41,000
tripping over an ancient secret
order, you'd be.
937
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,120
Shocked how often it comes off
assess.
938
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,600
Odyssey, he's perturbed at you
bringing up the idea of a secret
939
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,040
order.
He was not expecting you to say
940
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:50,680
that.
Perturbed.
941
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,080
Like he's really angry that I
caught it so quick or perturbed.
942
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,000
Like that's a really fucking
weird thing to say, man.
943
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,400
Unfortunately, it's unclear.
Yeah, that makes sense.
944
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:05,160
Question Will this man respond
to intimidation the only.
945
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,920
One way to find out, I think
you.
946
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,280
Would probably need to spend
several points of intimidation
947
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,840
to get anything out of this man.
Like 3 points.
948
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,480
Yeah, this is.
One of the reasons we hired him.
949
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:22,760
Yeah, he is unflappable.
About streetwise, No, no, no,
950
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:24,960
no.
Streets here?
951
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,000
Unfortunately, no.
That's fair, Doctor Smalls,
952
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,240
Anything I've.
Got nothing at this point.
953
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,600
Look, if you want me to, I could
stay up on guard.
954
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,760
I'll keep an eye out I think.
We should continue on honestly
955
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:39,760
in the.
Morning.
956
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,040
We don't want to move through
the jungle at night.
957
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,440
I don't want to lose any of you.
On that we are agreed.
958
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:46,880
Yeah, get.
Some sleep, Guillermo.
959
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,400
OK.
Let's all get OK.
960
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,000
Who's going to stay up to watch
him?
961
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:53,840
Me.
OK.
962
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,960
I'm an author.
You think this is the first all
963
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,720
nighter I've pulled doing
something inherently painful?
964
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,360
Oh no.
I've never doubted you.
965
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:03,680
Yeah, I'm going to fall asleep
next to you.
966
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:08,320
It's like on the ground.
I have to imagine the camp is
967
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,440
not the most comfortable thing
in the world.
968
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,240
Unfortunately with all the rain
and stuff, it's going to be hard
969
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:16,400
to stay awake.
I need you to make it difficulty
970
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,760
for a health check to stay awake
all night.
971
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,640
As in.
Spend health you could.
972
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,720
Spend health Yeah, I'm.
Not going to do that.
973
00:51:22,720 --> 00:51:26,120
I've got a 5050 shot.
I should have done that.
974
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:27,360
Oh.
No.
975
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,560
I I do not succeed.
I need you to make a difficulty
976
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:38,160
6 sense trouble check.
Oh, OK, if I burn all five of my
977
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,000
sense trouble points right now,
I can just succeed.
978
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:44,240
Might.
Be the time to do it I'm.
979
00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:47,680
Going to burn all five of my
sense trouble points to succeed.
980
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:55,400
OK, you wake up to a whispering
sound as you realize that
981
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,160
Guillermo standing over you
whispering something with a
982
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,400
machete in his hand that he has
raised up about to bring down a
983
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:03,640
neck.
Wake me up.
984
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:04,920
Wake me up.
Yeah.
985
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,960
I yell to wake everybody up and
I go to stab him first.
986
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:10,800
I mean, you spent the points,
Yeah.
987
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,520
You could stab him, make make it
back on him, Yeah.
988
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:17,240
OK, spending two points of
weapons and I'm gonna stab him.
989
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,640
Is he using my machete or do I
still have my machete?
990
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,040
You have your.
Machete, yes.
991
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:29,000
OK and so D6 plus one for roll
for damage.
992
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,520
I do for damage and yell to wake
everybody up.
993
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,200
He.
Swears and obediently turns and
994
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,280
beats feet.
Runs into the jungle to the
995
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:39,200
South.
I have.
996
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,200
Athletics out of the wazoo.
The moment I'm on my feet, I'm
997
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,280
following, OK?
Great you also.
998
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:49,000
Have a gun, although we might
want him alive, I don't think.
999
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,680
I'm asleep with my gun.
Honestly, no, that's.
1000
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,360
True, that's true.
It's OK.
1001
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,280
The direction where we, where
we're going, where we traveling
1002
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,440
South in general, you were.
Not no.
1003
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:00,720
OK.
To.
1004
00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:04,200
Chase after him.
It's going to be an athletics
1005
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,600
difficulty 6 because it is
nighttime.
1006
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:07,720
Oh, it's.
Still nighttime?
1007
00:53:07,720 --> 00:53:09,120
Yeah.
It's still nighttime.
1008
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,440
Yeah, I'm going to spend. 3.
I will also say if you would
1009
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,160
like to spend a point of
outdoorsman, you can notice
1010
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,360
something.
Oh yeah, totally you.
1011
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,560
Got this fam?
6.
1012
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:20,840
Nice.
OK.
1013
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,000
And yes, I am spending a point
of outdoorsman.
1014
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,640
Do you?
Notice that he is sinking and
1015
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,960
zagging through the woods,
popping up on rocks and fallen
1016
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,640
limbs like he's trying to avoid
patches of brown.
1017
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,480
Oh.
Shit, well park where it is.
1018
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:40,240
I do the same.
Because you are doing that, you
1019
00:53:40,240 --> 00:53:42,360
are going to need to make
another difficulty successful.
1020
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,160
Annex Jack.
The difficulty would be lower if
1021
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,360
you weren't trying to park work.
Yeah, that's fine.
1022
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:48,960
Yeah, but.
Then there'd be the chance for
1023
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,960
crap, yeah.
And definitely safety first on
1024
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,480
this or maybe.
It's land bounce, that's what.
1025
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,280
I thought or quicksand.
I mean.
1026
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,960
Land bounce or crap you guys?
Have an elementary school or
1027
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:02,880
impression of how much quicksand
he sets in the world?
1028
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,560
Back it's ever been.
To.
1029
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:12,080
Be safe, Dan, I mean.
OK, it is the 30s and you know
1030
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,800
quicksand is 9 at that point.
OK, A.
1031
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,120
Nine.
Yeah, you catch up to Guillermo
1032
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,800
I.
Grab him in a Big Bear hug, OK,
1033
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,720
and try to restrain him.
Not so fast.
1034
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,680
He is going to shoot at you
once, OK?
1035
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,320
Yeah.
What's your hit threshold?
1036
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,840
4 OK, he's going to spend three
of his.
1037
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,920
He doesn't have a ton of actual
firearm points.
1038
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,800
He only has 6, but he's going to
spend three of them to make sure
1039
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,280
he hits.
OK, you take 5 all.
1040
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:49,680
Righty how?
Sort of a You sort of tank it
1041
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,440
and go straight to him I.
Pummel his face into the ground.
1042
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,720
OK.
Make a scuffling check I must.
1043
00:54:56,720 --> 00:54:58,880
Spend the two points OK.
Cool roll your damage.
1044
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,280
Oh no, you're not damaging him.
You're just trying to grab you
1045
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:06,680
have got him there you.
Go no need to run, we can just
1046
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,880
talk right buddy?
He says right you son of a
1047
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,080
bitch.
I fucking drag him back to camp.
1048
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,320
So.
While the chase is going, Smalls
1049
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,120
would have had his rifle in his
tent with him.
1050
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,760
As he hears the yelling, he's
going to like, poke out of his
1051
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,440
tent with his rifle.
Do the porters look like they're
1052
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,000
being aggressive at this point
in time, or are they like
1053
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,080
they're?
As confused as everybody else.
1054
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,160
OK, I'm.
Going to keep an eye on them
1055
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,560
without trying to look
threatening, just essentially be
1056
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,320
like out and about just kind of
watching what they're doing.
1057
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:41,840
Anybody.
Else doing anything in
1058
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,120
particular or should we just
have Kurds drag Guillermo back
1059
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,240
to the camp or should the
conversation with Guillermo take
1060
00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:50,360
place where the porters aren't
in earshot?
1061
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,720
I will say Rick Luke is up and
about saying what's going on,
1062
00:55:53,720 --> 00:55:56,680
what's going on, just.
For flavors, Colin fell asleep
1063
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,760
on his stomach with the book in
his bag.
1064
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,480
He is woken up on his back with
the book open on his chest.
1065
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:04,640
Oh boy.
God.
1066
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,640
You.
Filched it out of my backpack.
1067
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,440
Huh, that's.
In character that that is in
1068
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,360
character, yeah.
But JB does just take a moment
1069
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:16,640
to explain to to Rick what
happened and to try and get his
1070
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,800
ass to calm the fuck down.
He's.
1071
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,560
He tried to kill you.
I'm gonna kill that
1072
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,240
motherfucker.
Have at it.
1073
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:27,680
No, no.
No, we need to find out why you
1074
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,200
tried to kill me and then we can
kill that motherfucker.
1075
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,600
I am way too used to this kind
of thing, aren't I?
1076
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,200
Yeah, look what the cat dragged
in well.
1077
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:44,080
Well, well, if it isn't the
motherfucker himself, Nick.
1078
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,120
Can I have tied him up?
Sure.
1079
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,240
He's not saying anything.
He was silent the whole time.
1080
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,760
OK.
How many points of intimidation
1081
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,240
you said right?
Now, as you have tied him up,
1082
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,920
one point will be enough.
Actually, you don't even need to
1083
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,400
spend a point, just intimidation
right now will be enough.
1084
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,000
You don't need to spend a point.
I will.
1085
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:08,520
Spend 3 points of tickle.
I didn't that doesn't don't do
1086
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:16,680
that bad to.
Take yourself so seriously when
1087
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:17,840
you're being tickled, isn't it?
Oh.
1088
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,840
Boy, OK, Do you want, do you
guys want me to do it?
1089
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,600
Yeah, you got.
This man OK?
1090
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,040
Rick is part of this, by the
way, Rick Luke is not going to
1091
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:29,920
not be part of.
This.
1092
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:30,840
Yeah.
No, I figured.
1093
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,560
I figured I'm.
He's the best trying to keep.
1094
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:34,760
Him cool.
I'm.
1095
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,520
I'm trying to keep Rick cool so
he doesn't do anything stupid,
1096
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,920
OK?
I unceremoniously dropped this
1097
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:45,480
motherfucker on the ground by
the fire and I just sit down
1098
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:52,040
next to him, get my big fucking
knife and a strap and just start
1099
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,880
sharpening it right in front of
his face.
1100
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:03,440
No one who does not Revere or
impress Gullick's ball makes it
1101
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:08,200
out of Kitchen Jewel alive, and
I don't think you'll find it too
1102
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,800
impressive.
Why not?
1103
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,880
He.
Smirks slightly and says nothing
1104
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,720
else you heard.
My friend, he asked why not.
1105
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:20,880
Yeah, I could grow some
intimidation.
1106
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:22,680
Yeah.
It's that role.
1107
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,920
It's just spend.
And I'm just going to tell you,
1108
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,000
you know, from your knowledge
of, like, a divination here.
1109
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,840
He's not saying anything else.
This guy is.
1110
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:32,880
This guy's a cultist of some
sort.
1111
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,520
And cultists, Yeah, some
cultists suck and will give up
1112
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,240
everything.
This one seems to be more of a
1113
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,600
believer.
That sucks.
1114
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,000
Believers are hard to work
around.
1115
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,520
We can go through his shit
though, yeah.
1116
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,120
Totally.
Yeah, let's let's go through all
1117
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,360
of his stuff and see if we can
find anything.
1118
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,120
I'm going to use evidence
collection to go through his
1119
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,800
stuff.
All right, I'll watch our
1120
00:58:54,800 --> 00:59:00,120
prisoner here put rest.
Do I find anything he has?
1121
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:05,560
Mostly just stuff that a guide
would have.
1122
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:13,840
Nothing in particular that seems
too crazy, except for a small
1123
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,520
what would I describe it as?
Penis.
1124
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,960
A pendant.
Of sorts that he has at the
1125
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,400
bottom of his bag.
And I will tell you this, you
1126
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,360
may have noticed there's a weird
symbol that I put near the top
1127
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,480
of the the map screen here.
Yeah.
1128
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:32,080
I did notice that, yes.
It looks like that for the
1129
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:36,840
listener.
It is a the frog headed monster
1130
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,560
with the tongues that was eating
everything at the top of the
1131
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,440
monument.
It looks like that, but like a
1132
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,760
stylized version.
We'll post a picture on the
1133
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,800
discord.
Now I were describing it, I
1134
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:50,440
would say it looks like a board
squid.
1135
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,680
It does kind of look like a
board squid, that is true, yeah.
1136
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,080
But.
I I take that and look at that
1137
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,800
yeah, I wouldn't probably
because it's obviously connected
1138
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:06,920
to the the rock we found the
statue.
1139
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:12,200
Would I get anything any new
information from using my skills
1140
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,880
at this or would it just?
Or is it just?
1141
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,840
It's like it's clearly
connected, like it's clearly
1142
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:23,200
venerating the same deity, and
it's the deity that is venerated
1143
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:28,800
at Chichen Jewel, which you
gotta assume is this goximal,
1144
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:30,400
Yeah.
So.
1145
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,920
So you are a worshipper of
Goximal.
1146
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,200
Is it an ancient secret cult
order?
1147
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,720
Yes.
I assume you your family has
1148
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:44,520
been like this for generations.
Some people.
1149
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:49,160
Pronounce it wrong and baby the
person who charges podcast has
1150
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:53,840
said it wrong but it's golchimo
GOL golchimo.
1151
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,880
You're saying it wrong.
It's stupid gringo of.
1152
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,600
Course I'm saying I, I, I lean
in real close.
1153
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,960
Of course I'm saying it wrong.
I can't blow my cover.
1154
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,120
Did Dan just die?
Maybe.
1155
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:12,920
I, I, that was a gasp from me.
I did not expect that to be a
1156
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:16,280
thing.
You would say that, OK, I'm
1157
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,080
going to need you to spend a
point of these, the two points
1158
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,040
of deception there.
Is no deception skill.
1159
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:23,640
That would be.
A reassurance, actually.
1160
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,720
Sorry, I have reassurance.
Yeah, yeah.
1161
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,880
So you want me to spend 2 points
of that if you?
1162
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,200
If this is a thing you want him
to believe that you are part of
1163
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:42,880
this cult, you could do that.
OK, yeah, I, Jesus, can't
1164
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:48,160
believe I'm doing this, I said.
I've been leading these fools on
1165
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,840
for days.
They don't suspect me at all.
1166
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:56,000
But I need, we need to bring
them close to the site.
1167
01:01:56,200 --> 01:02:02,440
I think our God wants sacrifice.
We need to get them as close as
1168
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:03,640
possible.
And I?
1169
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,360
I whisper all of this in his
ear.
1170
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:11,800
I don't know what the fuck I'm
doing here, but I didn't.
1171
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:15,200
Francisco, tell me.
When you go in deep as cover as
1172
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:19,160
I have, you can't even alert
your leaders as to your actions.
1173
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,080
You understand?
No.
1174
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:27,480
But OK to fool your.
Enemies.
1175
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,240
You must fool your allies.
Yeah, I.
1176
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,240
I don't understand the purpose
of this.
1177
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:38,520
Why would Francisco need me to
lead you into a trap if you're
1178
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:42,280
leading them into a trap?
I don't completely know the way.
1179
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:46,840
My goal was to get them
interested and to get them to
1180
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,160
the site, but my knowledge of
this area is limited.
1181
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,680
I've been away from home for too
long, my friend.
1182
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:59,360
You're really white.
I was adopted.
1183
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,640
Thanks for listening.

of the month.
You can find links to these and

other things on the link tree in
the show notes.
1192
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:25,960
Again, thanks for listening and
until next time.
1193
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:38,840
That is iconic.
Did I just hear Jenna drop his
1194
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,880
mic?
You know, it's on an arm, but I
1195
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,320
did sort of hit my head against
the mic as if I was just sort of
1196
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,840
doing a head desk thing.
Look.
1197
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:52,040
Everybody's, you know, everybody
else has had their big, you
1198
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,080
know, I'm going to drive.
I'm going to do something to
1199
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,920
fuck over the GM.
I've never done this before.
1200
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,080
This is all new for me.
You're.
1201
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,600
Nailing it.
Thanks.
1202
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:10,640
I Have we reached a stopping
point?
1203
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,160
No, we have a very stopping
point.
1204
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,400
No, honestly, you know what I
think you saying have we reached
1205
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:20,600
a stopping point?
Is the funniest possible
1206
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,960
stopping point we could have.
Because I need.
1207
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,720
To figure out what's going to
happen now.
