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

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

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

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:19,080
warnings.
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

515
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,560
starting April 17th.
Watch the discord and or the

516
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,800
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.

Even our lowest tier, Resident

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

523
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,240
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.

01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,000
of the month.
You can find links to these and

1191
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,720
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.
