Eternal Lies 31: Night of the Froguar

Show Notes
Transcript

At last managing to bumble through the jungle, our investigators soon find themselves hunted by things not of this or any sane world (It was the thirties so the world was still kind of sane).

00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:19,160
warnings.
Last time on Eternal Eyes, our

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,800
investigators began their trek
through the Yucatan jungle,

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,080
finding the vehicles of the
previous expeditions abandoned

7
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:28,120
and trashed.
They also find stone monuments

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,119
dedicated to a mysterious entity
with seemingly no ties to the

9
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,680
mouth they are pursuing.
They are waylaid, however, by 5

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,800
days worth of torrential rain,
delaying their expedition.

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,840
Meanwhile, Colin reads the
mysterious wet book they

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,320
received badly, hurting his mind
and learning a ritual to summon

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,120
but not bind the liar.
After resuming the March and JB

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,160
taking a bit of a tumble one
night, their guide Guillermo

15
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,600
disappears into the night.
Pursuing him.

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Colin Kearns will discover he
was meeting with a mysterious

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,040
figure.
Interrogating Guillermo, he

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,440
claims it was the guide to the
previous expedition, threatening

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,560
them to turn back.
However, that night Guillermo

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,000
attacks JB failing and flees.
He is captured by Kearns and

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,960
revealed to be part of a secret
local cult JB Bluffs him out,

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,680
pretending to also be a part of
the cult, which flummoxes Dan so

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,080
much he had to end the episode
immediately.

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,680
The die is cast, the pact is
sealed, and May God have mercy

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,360
on our souls.
It's Daniel.

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,480
Strip tales?
Nobody.

27
00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:46,850
Got hopeful, no curtains.
Why?

28
00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:49,010
They're finishing the job after
they cut up your arm.

29
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,000
No, no.
I got sassy about that one last

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,920
time.
Yeah, Kearns Kearns Pats his

31
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,560
Tommy gun.
Your time will come, baby.

32
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,480
Yeah, last we left off, we were
interrogating this guy.

33
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,720
Giorgio Piazzi.
Yeah, I found an unplanned for

34
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,600
work around.
Do you, do you remember the name

35
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,240
of this guy You're interrogating
this guy?

36
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,640
Do you remember his name?
It's.

37
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,160
It's Bob, right?
Wendell Twosome.

38
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,960
Was it was it Guillermo or was
it the other?

39
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,520
One it is Guillermo Castillo,
yes.

40
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,040
That's it.
I was close.

41
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,880
OK.
Nobody can remember Guillermo's

42
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,920
name.
It's just like what we do in the

43
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:36,400
shadows.
Good.

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,080
George Castle.
Right.

45
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,040
And I had just burned all two of
my points of reassurance to

46
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:50,200
convince him that I was also a
member of the cult who had been

47
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,520
deep undercover, and I was
trying to get all of you killed

48
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,280
by leading you to the location
to be sacrificed to the God.

49
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,960
Hopefully this doesn't lead to
an awkward situation later.

50
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,600
I can't see how it would.
You know, if things get really

51
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,840
awkward, then that's what the
Tommy gun is for.

52
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:10,640
Yeah, you just throw occurrence
at it.

53
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:14,120
All right, well, I suppose
you've pulled Guillermo aside.

54
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280
Yes, and I have.
I have spun them this elaborate

55
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,560
lie of how I was deep undercover
searching out the enemies of our

56
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,840
order.
It's been so long I've forgotten

57
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,960
my native tongue of Spanish
because I've only spoken English

58
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,240
for these past years.
Just covering my ass in case he

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,040
tries to ask me something in
Spanish.

60
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,200
You spent two points, so it's
going to work for at least a

61
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,680
little while, but I can't
promise it's going to work

62
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,720
forever.
Hey, we just need it to get us

63
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,200
far enough, you know?
Yes.

64
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Didn't he stab someone?
He tried to stab me.

65
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,200
He tried to decapitate me.
Actually, I stabbed him first.

66
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Yeah.
And.

67
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,800
Then I caught him.
Yeah, but we're chill because he

68
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,600
thinks that we're on the same
side.

69
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,040
He thinks I'm on the same side.
Yeah.

70
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,800
I I'm like, I've completely
earned their trust.

71
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,640
They trust me implicitly.
I've seduced their pilot.

72
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,560
I have done so much for this.
Oh wow.

73
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:22,800
I mean, it's not technically a
lie, it's just unrelated to to

74
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,160
the cult.
I did that on my own time

75
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,880
because Kearns is nice.
Can I be overhearing this?

76
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,360
I think you overhearing this
would ruin the bit.

77
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,120
No, no, no, I'm.
I'm leaning into the bit though.

78
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,200
Yeah, if you're behind a tree
and he doesn't know you're

79
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,440
there, that's fine.
I nonchalantly emerge as if as

80
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,360
if I haven't been listening this
whole time.

81
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,400
I walk up and grab JB's ass.
Hey, babe, what's up?

82
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,240
Oh, I've almost convinced our
enemy here to lead us to the

83
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,840
temple.
Squish, squish.

84
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,520
Nice work.
I.

85
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,720
I'm so sorry to.
I'm not this is peak.

86
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,680
That was Guillermo sort of
stuttering a little bit.

87
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,040
I and he just sort of especially
with Kurds standing there.

88
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,920
He gives a scowl.
Yeah, fair enough.

89
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,200
I'll leave you 2 alone.
Work your magic.

90
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,960
Thanks Kerns.
Last name?

91
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,080
Really.
Sorry, Frank.

92
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,960
This is Renee, by the way.
It's easier to say Kearns than

93
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,240
Frank.
I'm sorry.

94
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:32,560
Oh, it's fine.
Anyway, sorry Dan, what were you

95
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,920
doing?
You should continue to talk to

96
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,760
this guy to explain to him how
you're going to explain to

97
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,240
everybody else that he's chill
after he tried to sacrifice you.

98
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,160
OK, so my plan, and, you know,
workshop this with me is I

99
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,240
convinced them that I threatened
you into giving us the proper

100
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,160
location because they don't know
that our devotion can surpass

101
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,080
any threat.
But see, I have this machete

102
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,560
here.
So we'll pretend that I

103
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,760
threatened to slit your throat
and came very close to doing so

104
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,600
and that you agreed to lead us
to the temple, right?

105
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,920
But actually you're just leading
us to the temple.

106
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,720
So that way you and me can
sacrifice them later, right?

107
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,600
Right.
OK, I like this plan.

108
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:24,880
We do not need to perform
sacrifices I.

109
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,520
Well, you really have been gone
long.

110
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:36,560
I would caution if you are so
distant from our order that you

111
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,960
should not set foot in kitchen
Jewel the defenses there will

112
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,600
be.
I'm I must find a way to

113
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,720
reconnect with our God and
offering these companions in his

114
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,840
name.
It calls to me.

115
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,760
Hey.
You said our God a couple of

116
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,280
times.
Which God is that?

117
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,400
Oh, don't you dare fucking do
this to me, Daniel.

118
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,520
Fuck.
Off.

119
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,840
OK.
Yeah, it should be Golshamal.

120
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,360
OK, pronunciation to be
improved.

121
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,080
OK, that's, that's fine.
I just wanted to double check.

122
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,640
Yeah.
You know, if you would said like

123
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,200
the liar, for instance, you
know, that might not be the the

124
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,960
same thing, you know, it's
different.

125
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,760
Yeah, he says.
And we simply need to travel

126
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,600
east for about half a day and we
should arrive at the site.

127
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:40,200
I was setting up an ambush to
force, well, you and your

128
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,640
friends into the ruins and keep
you from escaping.

129
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,000
That's smart.
That was that's good tactics.

130
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,680
It probably would have worked,
too.

131
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,480
I'm really glad we had this
conversation before that

132
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,360
happened.
There's two things we could do

133
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,600
still, I suppose.
I could lead you into the trap,

134
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,240
or you could lead them alone to
the ruins if I draw you a map.

135
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,040
I think the latter is the better
idea.

136
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,960
It's important to me, you
understand that I reconnect with

137
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,520
my God in this way, with golf.
Small pretend I pronounced it

138
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,680
correctly.
May you find everything that you

139
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,440
are looking for.
Friend and you as well.

140
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,440
You got to let me go, then.
Yeah yeah I OK s s honesty does

141
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,720
he believe me he.
Mostly believes you.

142
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,799
He is going to go along with
this plan, even if things seem a

143
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:36,039
little weird.
Fair enough.

144
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,760
He also knows that he kind of
has to go along with the

145
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,160
suggested plan because of, you
know, the machete and the big

146
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,360
guy and all of that stuff.
Right, OK, yeah, I let him go

147
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,440
and I give him this map making
supplies, which is probably just

148
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,840
like, you know, paper and a pen.
Yeah, it's it's pretty much just

149
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,800
a straight path to the east.
There's a still a a beat up

150
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,120
trail that leads that way.
All right.

151
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,440
And now I'm going to tie you
back up to complete the

152
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,000
illusion.
You understand, right?

153
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,800
I thought you were going to let
me go.

154
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Yeah, you go on ahead.
You go back and do what you have

155
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,320
to do, brother.
He says something to you that

156
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,360
you don't understand.
Uh oh.

157
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,680
And he leaves.
OK, don't.

158
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,280
Worry it was probably just in
Spanish.

159
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,480
Yeah.
That's the thing, it might have

160
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,360
just been in Spanish.
Yeah, was it?

161
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,360
I feel like I would be able to
know the difference between

162
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:43,680
Spanish and something terrible.
OK, is Mayan something terrible?

163
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,760
No, no it isn't.
Because I'm not trying to judge

164
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,400
native languages over here.
I just wanted to make sure it

165
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,640
wasn't some kind of like
Eldridge curse, but no.

166
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,840
It wasn't Mayan.
It wasn't Mayan.

167
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,840
All right, OK, I go back to the
group and I explain everything

168
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,800
that just happened.
Do you explain it to Rick Luke?

169
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,280
I mean, you did mention that
Rick Luke was going to be a part

170
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,840
of that regardless of what we
wanted.

171
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,480
I.
Remember that from last time.

172
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,800
A part of what?
This.

173
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,480
Yeah, 'cause he was invested in.
Yeah.

174
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,720
He's an eternal guy now.
Unfortunately, Rick Luke has

175
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,280
become an eternal guy.
That's all we're calling

176
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,520
ourselves now.
Audience.

177
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,920
I think it's, I think it's fun,
yes.

178
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,760
That's why Kay had to die, yeah.
Fuck off.

179
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,880
You know a lady can be one of
the guys if the guys is more of

180
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,800
a metaphor than an act.
Doesn't matter anyway.

181
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,720
Can we, excuse me, petition to
rename the campaign Eternal

182
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,680
eternal nudes so we can all be
eternal dudes because dude is

183
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:59,680
gender neutral.
Eternal ludes work as well.

184
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,160
There you go, that's the one we
are.

185
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,600
Fighting a sex call?
Yeah.

186
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,680
When you say something is for
the eternal guys, can you

187
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,760
include Renee as well?
Eternal guys and Renee the.

188
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,920
Eternal guys.
And Renee, anyway, yeah, I OK,

189
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,240
I, I get everybody to huddle up
and I softly explain what just

190
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,400
happened.
And unfortunately, I did have to

191
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,120
let him go.
That might come back to bite us

192
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,240
in the ass, but.
What are you talking about?

193
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,440
For the sake of what we're
doing, I don't think he'll be

194
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,560
that much of a problem, I hope.
The guy tried to kill you and

195
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:42,400
you just let him go.
Yeah, shut up, Rick.

196
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,400
JB, can you reproduce
approximately what he said to

197
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,640
you?
I say as I pull out my language

198
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,360
book, on the cover of which it
says Mayan for Dummies.

199
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,440
I definitely existed at this
time.

200
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,120
Hell yeah.
Yeah, of course.

201
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,400
Yeah, I try my best to
phonetically recreate what he

202
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,560
said to me.
I can't.

203
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,400
I just wanted it to be vague.
Joke's on you.

204
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,320
We're we're detectives, kind of.
We're investigators.

205
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,200
I'm not sure we detect, we
investigate.

206
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,240
We don't really.
He said something to the effect

207
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:28,360
of dream beyond the path.
OK, well it sounds to me like

208
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,680
something to the effect of Dream
beyond the Path.

209
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,560
Wow, that's about as creepy as I
expected for these guys.

210
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:43,720
All right, let's do this anyway.
Sorry Mr. Luke, I I understand

211
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,800
your apprehension, but he is not
the first guy on this adventure

212
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,480
who has tried to kill me.
And our archaeologist budget

213
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,640
just went up.
Wait, I thought, did you not pay

214
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,640
him in advance?
I, you know, I suppose if you're

215
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:02,320
the budget went up, I suppose, I
suppose we could make do.

216
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,200
But see, This is why we have
kids.

217
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,040
Spiritors in the jungle, you
say?

218
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,320
That much he does, yes.
A lot to be on the guard.

219
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,360
Yeah, definitely.
Hey, good thing we hired 2

220
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,920
guides right?
Yeah.

221
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,440
Yeah, you're right.
Assess honesty.

222
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,440
I mean, he's excited that he's
still here.

223
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,760
You're full of shit, I.
Like.

224
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,440
What do you mean I'm full of
shit?

225
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,320
He's excited that he's still
here.

226
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,360
Yeah, right.
That's that's you.

227
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,040
That's how you sound.
I, I, he's excited.

228
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,320
I I do think.
He says honesty on Daniel.

229
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,000
He would be OK.
I'll give you the Daniel thing.

230
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,680
Two separate guides are like
trying to betray you.

231
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,480
Seems a little much.
Seems a little on the nose.

232
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,560
Kind of.
You would think so.

233
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,040
Yeah, you would think.
So and yet.

234
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,960
I'm hearing it would be bad, not
that it's not going to happen.

235
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,360
Yeah.
I I'm willing to trust Rick

236
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,800
Luke.
I mean, I'm willing to trust him

237
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,160
from a moral perspective.
I'm still not sure he's

238
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,200
competent, but.
Yeah, competency aside, he

239
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,000
hasn't tried to kill any of us
yet.

240
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,680
Yeah, and from an assess honesty
from last night, we know he

241
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,040
didn't go out to meet anyone.
He actually just went out to go

242
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,520
pee so.
Yeah, he's got 8 athletics, he's

243
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,320
got 5 firearms.
Yeah, why does he need that

244
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,800
stuff?
He's a weenie nerdy fucking

245
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,040
scientist.
Guy, he's an archaeologist.

246
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,720
He's an adventure archaeologist.
He like goes into jungles and

247
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,160
stuff.
So because he have a whip.

248
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:49,000
That Doctor, Smalls has 10
athletics and five in firearms

249
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,760
and Tenon scuffling.
I know that.

250
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,040
You know, nerds got to be jacked
these days.

251
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,520
For the record, he also spoke
Mayan and was able to confirm

252
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,800
your translation.
He let you do it like he wasn't

253
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,080
going to like talk over you
because you knew what you were

254
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,920
saying, but he he also was able
to recognize it.

255
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,920
So you, Rick?
Luke's an all right guy.

256
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,400
All right, to get us back on
track.

257
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Hey, look what I can do with
this prosthetic.

258
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,240
What?
Colin has his prosthetic hand,

259
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,520
no?
Yes, Hooker.

260
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,440
So it is established that you
have a prosthetic.

261
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,800
Is it a hook?
It's a claw.

262
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,480
Yeah, probably like a hand claw,
just the fingers move, yeah.

263
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,160
Enough to grip something cool.
Yeah.

264
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,200
Yeah, no, that's that's dope.
Hey, think fast.

265
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,360
I throw my flask of whiskey at
him.

266
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,800
It hits me square in the face.
Fuck.

267
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,640
And on that note, I believe you
continue toward Chicha Jewel.

268
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,440
Yeah, it sounds like that's
being pretty played out.

269
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,920
I mean, it's good.
It's a good thing I didn't throw

270
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,480
a machete or something.
Yeah, that would have been bad.

271
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,920
All right, where's that fucking
quicksand?

272
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:01,640
Now you almost don't see it as
you are going through the

273
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,520
jungle.
As you cross sort of the jungle

274
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:12,320
line into the open Plaza of
Chichin Jewel, you are maybe a

275
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,160
little bit surprised if you
pictured A Mayan ruin.

276
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,160
The Mayan ruins you may have
seen before are kind of tourist

277
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,800
attractions.
They're well kept.

278
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,520
They're nice enough places to
visit.

279
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,280
This place is no manicured ruin.
The grass is waist high in

280
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,720
places.
Vines grip most of the ruins.

281
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,920
There is a gap in the jungle
canopy above the Plaza you see

282
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,640
in front of a low pyramid which
about 5 or 6 stories high.

283
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,280
You also see.
You know what I'm going to show

284
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,480
you a little map on the screen
here.

285
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:56,800
As you arrive into this site,
you notice that there are a

286
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,000
couple of buildings.
The most notable 1 is the

287
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,920
pyramid that I mentioned that is
in front of you.

288
00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:09,680
You see to the South several
just columns standing up.

289
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,000
You'd need to look at that a
little bit closer to see what's

290
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,520
going on.
To the West you see a ball

291
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,400
court, to the east you see the
pyramid as I mentioned, and to

292
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,240
the north you could sort of see
a cenote.

293
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,599
Probably crocodiles too.
Quicksand.

294
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,440
Are there any skills you would
like to use as you are entering

295
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,920
into the site?
Size troubles.

296
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,920
I was thinking of investigative
skills.

297
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,720
What direction are we entering?
You are entering from the east.

298
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,840
From the east, so we're entering
near the ball court.

299
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,320
The path that you were LED
actually comes in a little South

300
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,040
of the ball court as you go into
the middle.

301
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,440
That was the path that you were
given.

302
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,240
Can I use my outdoorsman?
You can use your outdoorsman.

303
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:57,160
To find like where is unsafe and
like to figure out a safe path.

304
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:03,040
Outdoorsman is noticing that
people have come through the

305
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,400
Plaza in recent days.
Broken grasses and trampled

306
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,160
weeds attest to that.
In fact, your other endorsement

307
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,920
thing you notice is the birds
are not entering the grounds of

308
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,520
Chichen Jewel.
It is a little quieter here.

309
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,000
You still hear the birds from
like past the jungle line, but

310
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,800
as you're looking around you see
that there are no animals here

311
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,160
whatsoever.
Oh well, no.

312
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,080
You see the traces of some dried
stools.

313
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,040
It looks kind of lizard like,
but a lot larger.

314
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,840
Must be the size of about a lion
or something like that.

315
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:42,920
Oh no.
OK.

316
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,600
So that's outdoors of it.
Let's not make any sudden

317
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,000
noises, I I draw the attention
of my party to this.

318
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:55,880
Rick looks at it and says, what
do you, oh, what could have left

319
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,360
that?
Some sort of lizard lion thing?

320
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,200
Does a cult tell me anything
about?

321
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,040
Because that's not a natural
creatures description.

322
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,240
You're right, but thinking
you're a cultist brain, nothing

323
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,080
is particularly standing out.
Yeah, it makes sense.

324
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,600
Note that there's more than just
this on the ground.

325
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,760
You could think about the
buildings, any sort of stuff.

326
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,520
Look through your skill list.
Let me know what you.

327
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,160
Want.
Yeah, yeah.

328
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,840
Continuing on the investigation
of the pile of Dong, does

329
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,000
biology tell me?
Biology is going to suggest

330
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:33,920
about the same.
OK, I have archaeology and

331
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,200
architecture.
I could give you stuff with

332
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,160
that, absolutely.
Yeah.

333
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,680
Do I have to get closer to
anything to?

334
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,120
I could give you a little bit
for now.

335
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,040
So I'll, I'll take that.
This was not a city.

336
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,040
This is not set up like a city.
There are no places for people

337
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,440
to live.
This is a religious site a a

338
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,560
ritual site.
There would be very few

339
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,200
inhabitants that would live
here.

340
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,720
That would be about it.
The whole site is like a

341
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,560
miniaturized version of better
known Mayan locations.

342
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,840
Interesting.
In fact, as you were looking

343
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,280
around, you see that the ruins
here a sport elaborate Mayan

344
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,520
stonework and facades, which
suggests that the site was at

345
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,240
least originally built by Mayan
peoples before being bequeathed

346
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:30,360
or maybe captured by the jewel,
which you have sort of gotten a

347
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:31,920
hint of.
And Rick has explained a little

348
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,000
bit more to you is another
native group that worships

349
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,920
Goximo.
OK.

350
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,440
Your porters are nervous.
Does geology tell me anything?

351
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,160
Not just from the middle of this
place.

352
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,080
Fair enough.
Well, you know, the lack of

353
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,080
barriers, Maybe there's some
sort of gas being released from

354
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,080
underground.
That's an interesting idea, but

355
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,080
there does not appear to be one
of those things.

356
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,800
All right.
OK, so what's the plan?

357
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,600
Are we going inside?
Well, if we want to figure,

358
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,680
yeah, we should investigate this
area.

359
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,320
You hear a scream.
Hell no, it's one of those

360
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,800
sudden noises.
It's one of your Porter's who

361
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,280
has fallen on the ground.
What does he see?

362
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,800
Is he being attacked?
He's pointing at something on

363
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,400
the ground.
What?

364
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,600
A spider.
It is the partial remains of a

365
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,120
human man that he seems to have
tripped over.

366
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,880
OK at.
Least not a spider.

367
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:34,040
Yeah, it is.
And by partial I mean it is the

368
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:39,280
waist down of a human man.
Has it been becrunched?

369
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,120
Well, forensics might be able to
tell you that.

370
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,960
I can add I tip forensic.
That OK.

371
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,240
Just the one point.
So as you're looking around,

372
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,840
first you see there are three
spent rifle shells and a

373
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,000
functional rifle with a broken
stock and 1/2 full magazine of

374
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,920
three more rounds.
This man was bitten once by

375
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,600
something the size of a shark
with Jaguar like teeth.

376
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,640
There's a caustic fluid around
the bite area searing the flesh.

377
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,280
It seems like it would have
caused the flesh to just sort of

378
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,720
slide right off the bone.
Holy.

379
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,000
Shit.
Looking around, the blood stains

380
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
do not indicate that the other
half of the human carcass was

381
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,160
dragged off.
Instead, it was swallowed

382
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,560
outright.
Oh cool, cool.

383
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,560
And it left his bottom half
here.

384
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,120
Well, yeah, it's where all the
poop is, you diva in your

385
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,960
shrimps, right?
Yeah, but the thing that ate the

386
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,320
left the shit baby.
Unless.

387
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,560
Yeah, this poop didn't come from
man.

388
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,760
This poop came from lizard.
Well, I mean, OK, so when you

389
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,520
say it's the lower half, you're
talking like from the waist

390
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,720
down.
From the waist down, yes.

391
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,040
Oh no it didn't take out the IT.
It didn't devan the human before

392
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,600
it ate it.
It got the poop poop.

393
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,200
The lower intestines is is above
the waist for the modern heart.

394
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:09,080
Thank God, thank God I sorted
that out.

395
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,800
Well, now that we've figured out
the poop situation, Kearns, you

396
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,200
think he could do anything with
his rifle?

397
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,800
I can try.
I can try.

398
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,800
Can I?
Can I use my craft to fix it?

399
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,680
Sure.
Or mechanical repair or

400
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,480
something.
Yeah, yeah, I you could fix the

401
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,200
gun up.
It'll take a little bit of time,

402
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,200
but you could fix it up.
How much time?

403
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,120
Half an hour maybe.
All right, give me half an hour.

404
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,560
This is also not like, you know,
it'd be nice to have a spare

405
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,080
gun, but it's not like this gun
is like a super gun or anything.

406
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,240
It's just another just just a
gun.

407
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,120
I was thinking we'd give it to
Smalls but I forgot he's got 1

408
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:47,120
already.
Yeah, I, I, I don't think I have

409
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:48,000
a gun.
So.

410
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,440
Yeah.
I mean, you can have my pistol

411
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,320
if you want.
I appreciate that.

412
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,080
Wait, do I have a pistol or do I
have a shotgun?

413
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,840
You have a shotgun.
I have a shotgun, you can have

414
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,520
my shotgun if you want.
Oh my God this is way more

415
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,320
weapon than JV knows what to do
with.

416
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,360
You point and you shoot.
That's about it.

417
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,480
Have you ever used a camera?
Yeah.

418
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,200
Yeah, same principle, except
they die in the end.

419
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,840
OK.
The JV still has 0 points and

420
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,560
firearms for the record, but he
will take the shotgun.

421
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:25,800
I know anyway, any tracks?
Animal tracks that I can see.

422
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,000
No.
Promising.

423
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,760
Not at all.
Yeah, it it Actually, if

424
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,840
something ate this guy, there
should be tracks.

425
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:35,960
Huh.
OK.

426
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,480
So they're flying.
We're dealing with fuck fucking

427
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:46,760
lion lizard shark.
Looks to be a flying lizard the

428
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,200
size of a shark with Jaguar
teeth.

429
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:55,960
Didn't that one stone have a
picture of something with a frog

430
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,080
like mouth?
Yeah, it definitely did, 100%.

431
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,360
This is going to be an
interesting day.

432
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,920
You can feel it in my bones.
Well, I'd much rather we all

433
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,520
keep our bones where they
belong.

434
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,160
Agreed.
Who's for getting a roof over

435
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,720
our heads?
What time is it?

436
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,880
It's midday.
OK.

437
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,000
I know just the second we start
approaching anything we are

438
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,080
getting jumped by whatever the
hell this is.

439
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,840
Hang on, one more question.
Are there holes in the ground

440
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,640
like burrowing holes?
Not that you can see.

441
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:33,160
It I guess it primarily attacks
from the Plaza where the trees

442
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,400
are at their thinnest if I had
to guess.

443
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:42,080
And I'm pretty sure what we are
looking for is either in the

444
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,480
cenote to the north or the
pyramid in front of us.

445
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,560
Can I hear birds from the
cenote?

446
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,160
No.
No.

447
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,040
All right.
It didn't activate when our when

448
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,800
one of our porters screamed so.
That we know of.

449
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,160
That we know of.
I just, you know, I pick a rock

450
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,360
up off the ground and I throw it
into the Plaza.

451
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,440
You were kind of in the Plaza if
you were looking at this like

452
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,160
you've stepped.
Into the Plaza area.

453
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,240
OK, so we are.
Either towards the pyramid or

454
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,240
towards the cenote.
If we're fairly certain that

455
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,080
either of those things are where
the monster is, why don't we

456
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,080
investigate the the court and
the pillars first?

457
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,440
Hey Rick, go check those
pillars.

458
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,680
You know more Mayan than I do,
probably.

459
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,280
I would like some company for
that.

460
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,160
Sure, I'll come with you.
Nope.

461
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,880
Do we think we're going to be
here a little while?

462
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,240
Should we try to set up camp
like an expedition base?

463
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,200
But maybe we find some way to
get that undercover.

464
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,280
Maybe the pyramid's got wind
internal structure.

465
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,480
I don't.
I don't fucking know.

466
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,560
Surely we'll be able to go
inside the pyramid, but

467
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,040
generally you want like your
archaeological camp to not be

468
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,120
inside where you're digging up
stuff.

469
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,880
Yeah, beggars can't be choosers,
especially when there's flying

470
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,320
Jaguar sharks around.
OK, they're not flying Jaguar

471
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,120
sharks around.
You're being crazy.

472
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,320
All right, I'll, I'll go with
you.

473
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,640
I'll go with you.
Let's go.

474
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,600
Rick has ordered the porters at
You could counter man the order

475
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,320
if you would like to start
setting up camp in the middle of

476
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,840
the Plaza in the middle, which
is in the middle of the entire

477
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,080
you know, site.
Yeah, yeah.

478
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,000
I mean, we're definitely going
to have to make a quick exit at

479
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,400
some point.
Or we could shoot it to death,

480
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,960
but that usually goes pretty
poorly.

481
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,560
So you're going to the columns.
Who is all going?

482
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,320
We established at least two
people are going.

483
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:32,760
Is everybody going?
Colin Eller, Eddie volunteered.

484
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,080
In that case, I'm going to check
out the the ball court.

485
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,480
Do you want to go with me
Smalls?

486
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,640
Yes, I will.
OK.

487
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:42,920
Keep your eyes peeled.
Definitely, please ignore the

488
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,320
fact that I already spent all my
sense trouble to not get

489
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,680
decapitated earlier.
Fuck that's OK, Small still has

490
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,720
some.
Yep, I have a couple points all.

491
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,280
Right, let's go.
All right, we're going to look

492
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,400
at the team going towards the
columns.

493
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:04,360
This is a huge raised stone
platform decorated with stone

494
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,440
and real human skulls.
Oh, fun.

495
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,200
Charming.
As you go up the stairs, it's

496
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,120
just a slightly raised platform.
You look around and there are at

497
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:21,920
least 200 skulls all over the
place here.

498
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,720
Are they fresher hold?
Well, some of them are skulls

499
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,560
and some of them are rotting
human heads.

500
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,680
Those are balancing on the top
of the piles of skulls a bit.

501
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,160
Of a range of freshness here.
Yes.

502
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,960
Any carvings on the skulls or on
the platform on the pillars?

503
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:47,480
There are things carved on the
pillars, symbols of some sort.

504
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:53,120
Rick, this seems like your area.
I mean, this is sort of like

505
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,640
where you would have a
procession of honored warriors

506
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,480
you there's spells, spells of
victory and protection.

507
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,520
You don't normally have skulls
everywhere.

508
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,200
If my understanding of Mayans
are correct, this would be an

509
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,760
affront to them.
This would be a place that you

510
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,560
honor great warriors and instead
this is the heads of I think the

511
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:22,920
warriors and a lot others.
This seems somewhat unsettling,

512
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,960
as though I should be rolling a
stability check.

513
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,640
I'm about to get that.
Hey there listeners, did you

514
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,160
turn in for a 24 hour extra live
stream last year?

515
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,600
If not, here's just a few of the
things you may have missed.

516
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,800
So if you'd like to see more of
that and also help some kids out

517
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,920
at the same time, TuneIn
starting April 17th.

518
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,600
Watch the discord and or the
show notes for more details.

519
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,720
Hey everyone, we here at Daniels
Dread Tails have a Patreon now.

520
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,920
It's got multiple tiers and
everything.

521
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,520
Even our lowest tier, resident
of the forbidden zone, gets you

522
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,920
access to GM notes and
unreleased content.

523
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,200
It's good stuff.
The next one up, Resident of New

524
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,840
Hell Mouth adds shout outs on
the show, the ability to name

525
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,880
characters, raw mixes of the new
episodes and our behind the

526
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,080
scenes Discord channel.
And finally, the highest tier

527
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,720
Angry Clockwork Wife lets you
join in on our monthly streams

528
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,360
and be introduced as an Angry
Clockwork Wife if that's what

529
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,960
you're into.
So please, if any of that sounds

530
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,560
appealing to you, then join up.
We'd love to have you and your

531
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,040
money too much.
Fair enough.

532
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,320
All the same, do consider.
Thanks for listening and back to

533
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,240
the show.
One of the other things that you

534
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:41,600
do is as you were looking
around, you remember seeing a

535
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,000
photograph from Dominguez's
expedition, saw like a

536
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,920
photograph before they went off,
and you see several of the heads

537
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,080
of the expedition that came here
that you were looking for our

538
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,320
artist pile.
Wonderful.

539
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,040
Including Dominguez himself.
Oh, it's the other expedition or

540
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,040
our expedition that we were
catching up to.

541
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,240
Rick, where you went on that or
was that someone else?

542
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,440
Yeah.
Have you explained that to Rick?

543
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,600
That's an interesting catch to.
That don't think we have.

544
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,960
OK, well.
I don't think keeping our story

545
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,480
straight matters anymore.
The moment we get what we're

546
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,680
coming for here, we're leaving,
going back to the plane and

547
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,160
fucking off.
Well, the survivors, anyway.

548
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,400
Let's see, I would say this
counts as you see hundreds of

549
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,240
corpses.
That makes sense.

550
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,400
Yeah.
So that is a difficulty for

551
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,160
stability.
Check loss of four.

552
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,720
Good luck guys, you got this.
That is a failure.

553
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,160
OK, four points.
That puts me in shaken

554
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,200
territory.
OK.

555
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,400
It's a good thing I helped you
out earlier.

556
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,320
I failed too.
I lose 5.

557
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,000
I'm a three.
Rick succeeds, though.

558
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,880
He's obviously like, doesn't
find this awesome, but he has

559
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,920
succeeded.
We'll talk about what you do in

560
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:11,120
just a second at the ball court.
You know about Mayan ball games.

561
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,360
I assume it's similar things
were practiced by the Aztecs.

562
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,480
They were both a sport and a
religious sort of ceremony.

563
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,280
You would have to hit a rubber
ball through a raised sort of

564
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,960
hoop area.
I I have a vague overview of the

565
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,560
sport you're talking about.
Yeah, you don't need to know.

566
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,000
You don't need to be an expert
on it.

567
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,040
Just letting you know that's
sort of vaguely what it is.

568
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,440
This ball cord is a flat expanse
of short grasses between 2:15

569
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:42,000
foot high walls of expertly laid
stone, all currently sheathed in

570
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,320
vines and mosses.
The stone hoop that you would

571
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,120
aim for is hanging in the center
of the area.

572
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,440
Archaeology is going to tell you
that this is a smaller ball

573
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,600
court compared to other sites,
but more highly decorated than

574
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,880
many of the others.
Carvings along the court depict

575
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:04,320
gruesome human sacrifices made
to a sphere in the sky.

576
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,840
Do either of you have theology?
No.

577
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,680
Yes.
Oh, I do.

578
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,640
I do.
OK, awesome.

579
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,680
This fear they are being
sacrificed to in the sky is not

580
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:24,080
the sun or the moon.
You could sort of recognize

581
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:29,200
those other stellar bodies or
would be able to identify what

582
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,120
those stellar bodies look like
with a combination of theology.

583
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,440
You know, lots of sun God
worship and moon God worship.

584
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:41,440
This is neither of those things.
This is not a ball court for a

585
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,720
traditional Mayan religion.
They are being sacrificed to

586
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,320
something else.
But I suppose I should mention

587
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,760
the more obvious thing.
There's a camp set up here and

588
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:59,280
that camp was destroyed in a
bloody battle, headless bodies

589
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,920
left scattered throughout the
area.

590
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,560
Great violence was done here.
I think you would figure this

591
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:08,199
out without needing to this.
Some of them look like they have

592
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,040
been shredded and torn apart by
powerful jaws.

593
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,719
However, most of them look like
their heads have been cut or

594
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,159
chopped off.
Arrows jut from many of the

595
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:20,080
bodies.
It's a combination of both.

596
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,679
Cool.
I can dig it.

597
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,920
You guys are going to need to
make a check, yeah.

598
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,840
Yeah, no shit.
Difficulty.

599
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,000
What?
Loss of what?

600
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,639
Difficulty 4, Loss of three.
There's not as many corpses

601
00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:36,159
here.
OK, 5050 shot.

602
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:39,239
I'll take those odds.
I shouldn't have taken those

603
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,000
odds.
Fuck it, we've all all rolled.

604
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,239
I am down to 3 stability.
Would you like to examine the

605
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:52,000
bodies more closely?
Yes, yeah, definitely forensic

606
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,600
if you're asking for a skill.
Yeah, at least 10 men died here,

607
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,880
and judging from their clothing
in their gear, they were

608
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,080
probably all members of the Cult
of 1000.

609
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,520
Mouths liar thing.
In fact, each cultist has a

610
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,840
canteen for water and a flask
full of.

611
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,680
Son of a bitch.
No.

612
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:21,120
So JB difficulty what?
Difficulty What?

613
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,760
Difficulty 4.
I'm burning two I'm down to.

614
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,880
One stability.
You can do it.

615
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,480
I believe in you.
You apparently kind of.

616
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,960
Son of a bitch, no.
You're so close.

617
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,880
OK, you are gonna take some
nectar.

618
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,160
I don't have to have it
immediately, right?

619
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,960
I can just stash that shit,
right?

620
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,160
You are gonna have it
immediately.

621
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,480
You failed the check.
Yeah, OK.

622
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,760
OK so my question is are you
going to try and be sneaky about

623
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,360
it?
Fuck no.

624
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,960
OK, the consent to a little
light PvP.

625
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:05,840
Fucking Take Me Out bro.
I'm a roll scuffling to try and

626
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,560
stop him.
I'm not necessarily trying to

627
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,520
like knock him out but more
restrain him and knock the

628
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:13,400
nectar away.
OK.

629
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,960
Drag my ass back to camp.
I have 0 points in scuffling so

630
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,880
if if this is going to be
contested it is going to go.

631
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,920
Poorly.
Your hip threshold is 344.

632
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:33,720
OK, I'm just going to spend 3
points and yeah, JB finds this

633
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:37,760
like flask of nectar and goes to
take a drink of it.

634
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:43,080
And you just see Smalls just
kind of dive over him and like

635
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:48,440
pull some sort of half Nelson
and knocking the the flask away

636
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:53,360
as JB is trying to drink it and
is now struggling to pull him

637
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:58,440
back to the camp area.
Sounds trouble to hear that that

638
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,800
is happening.
I think that would be a bit of a

639
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,240
distance to hear.
I need you guys to make sense.

640
00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:08,360
Trouble checks over at the
columns, but it's not for that

641
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:12,080
difficulty 3.
Burning 2 points, what's up?

642
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,920
I rolled just for fun.
Nope.

643
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,680
Wow.
Obvious today.

644
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,880
Good thing I burned.
Yeah.

645
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,280
Rick notices.
What do we notice?

646
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,960
So this doesn't make sense what
I'm about to say.

647
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,280
But promising.
You know that's how it goes.

648
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,800
What else is new, right?
There are people in the columns

649
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,600
with you.
They appeared seemingly out of

650
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,120
nowhere.
They just appeared here.

651
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,720
There are about 30 of them.
Column people, a relative, the

652
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:47,280
the street like people.
Yes, they are wearing Mayan like

653
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,200
armor made from bundled cotton
and draped Jaguar hides.

654
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:57,040
They wield long Spears, tall
bows, and woven garrots.

655
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,400
They all carry Shields adorned
with flayed human.

656
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,400
Faces.
What are Shields made of other

657
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:09,120
than people?
Strong wood, OK, Many of them

658
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,400
are tattooed and painted with
red and black stripes.

659
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:19,160
They are yelling at you and
begin to attack with arrows and

660
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,360
Spears.
There are 30 of them.

661
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,640
You said 30, you did say 30.
That is the number that I said.

662
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,760
I said 30.
I fall back, fall back, fall

663
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,640
back.
Falling falls backwards.

664
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,360
OK.
You fuck.

665
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,480
Colin.
I failed to sense trouble.

666
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,320
He did fail to sense trouble.
All of a sudden there's people

667
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,560
screaming at me.
An arrow flies that you call it.

668
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,160
Fair.
I spend a key point to catch it.

669
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,720
Totally.
That were the thing that we were

670
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:52,000
playing.
And that's why D&D is superior.

671
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,280
Jesus.
So is Colin dead?

672
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,920
What's your threshold?
Oh, it doesn't matter.

673
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,480
It's not 8.
No, it's not.

674
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,880
It's lower than that.
An arrow hits you.

675
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,280
You are hit for only one damage,
however.

676
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:11,520
OK, how do I explain this part?
Poison.

677
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,000
No, no.
Possibly worse.

678
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,840
Next.
So.

679
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:23,600
I'm glad I didn't take that.
The arrow flies through.

680
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,720
You.
Oh.

681
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:30,840
No, they're ghosties.
The arrow pierces your flesh and

682
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,440
for a moment you feel like it
should hurt and it doesn't.

683
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,880
And then after a moment it does
hurt.

684
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,760
It's like the arrow was unreal
for a moment and then became

685
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,520
real.
Oh, you have an arrow buried in

686
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:50,720
your shoulder?
Oh, that is, it's not so bad,

687
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:55,320
just one damage.
These would be about as scary as

688
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,040
the pile of human skulls.
And because this is technically

689
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,920
the same thing, I'm gonna bake
it.

690
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:02,280
So you don't need to make his
other stability test here.

691
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,040
We're gonna say it's about the
same thing for now.

692
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,720
OK, Don't worry, there'll be
more.

693
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,400
And the idea is that you all
run.

694
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,560
This feels like a good idea.
Yeah, I want these two to run.

695
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,080
I can cover the retreat.
I don't have to go Full Auto

696
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,600
every time, do I?
No, you can just shoot normally.

697
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,880
Yeah.
Currents don't be a hero.

698
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,840
There's thirty of them, yeah.
Like no, I'm running backwards

699
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,080
and shooting A2 stick shooter.
Then you're gonna fall over

700
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:30,840
pressive.
Fire.

701
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,800
Yeah, stop pressing fire.
No.

702
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,720
And it always worked so well for
Cyril on that show, right?

703
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:44,640
It's always good, yeah.
But I mean, I don't think I'm a

704
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,520
Cyril.
So yeah, I'm going to, I'm going

705
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,680
to run backwards in the I, I do
like a couple testing shots

706
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:56,600
because like weird, real,
unreal, quantum bullshit.

707
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,880
OK, Rick is also taking a couple
of shots while he runs back to

708
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,120
the camp.
There I go.

709
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,880
And he's yelling in Spanish to
the porters like run run.

710
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,160
I would like you to make a
firearms check.

711
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,160
Hip fish holders 5.
Cuz they're ghosties.

712
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,000
Firearms.
Oh shit, I'm out of firearms.

713
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,120
How'd that happen?
You're out of firearms.

714
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,480
That can't be right.
Probably just didn't refresh it

715
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:21,680
from the last.
One maybe actually.

716
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,880
Yeah, cuz you haven't shot
anything yet.

717
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:30,640
OK, in that case I must spend 2.
Oh fuck, what?

718
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,200
Lots of ones tonight.
What about the ones?

719
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,720
Oh, this is great.
This is.

720
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:39,520
Your bullets fly through them.
But in a good way, right?

721
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,000
As if they're not even there.
Oh God.

722
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,880
OK.
I need you all to make athletics

723
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,640
or fleeing checks.
Go Ladley.

724
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,280
Difficult wait for.
I have training for this.

725
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,080
What we need to do is giggle at
the ghostly.

726
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:55,920
No.
Am I?

727
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:59,040
Am I too young to get that or?
No, it's no.

728
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,200
It's a Harry Potter reference.
No, it is a My Little Pony

729
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,760
reference that is being done
incorrectly, she sings.

730
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,280
Giggle at the ghosty not.
Ghostly.

731
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:09,720
Yeah, I know, but these are
ghostly.

732
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,520
They're good.
So that was deliberately so.

733
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:13,360
Giggle.
Yeah.

734
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:18,320
Anyway, I'm gonna use fleeing.
That's the smartest thing you've

735
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,160
ever said, Russell.
Yes.

736
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,880
That's unfortunate.
No, they asked me if I'd like to

737
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,280
marry them.
Difficulty 4.

738
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,000
I will spend 2 points.
Wait, I'm shaken so I will spend

739
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,040
3 living.
A small chance that I fail,

740
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,080
yeah.
Because that's worked so well

741
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,680
for everyone so far.
That's 5.

742
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,160
Fuck off, this is my second or
third one in a row.

743
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:47,800
Dan, what'd you say the
difficulty was?

744
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,880
4.
No, no. 17 Health.

745
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,600
There's going to be a shot
towards you.

746
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,640
OK.
It hits.

747
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,160
Of course it does.
You take 3 damage as a spear

748
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,240
hits you.
Run.

749
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,720
Apparently the Bunny gods
favorite Daniel today.

750
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,720
I am going to find R and Jesus
and beat the shit out of him

751
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:15,000
after this.
What next?

752
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,920
Quicksand.
Don't give them ideas.

753
00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:21,600
As you're running towards the
Plaza, you see the porters have

754
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,360
pulled out guns.
They were ready ish for this.

755
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,760
They've dealt with bandits
before, they've not dealt with

756
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:35,840
ghost Mayans before, but they
open fire so meanwhile.

757
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:41,600
Duck and run.
How far away are JB and I?

758
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,080
You're a little ways away.
There's no way we don't hear the

759
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,320
gunshots.
There's no way you don't hear

760
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,360
the cacophony of gunfire.
Is JB still fighting me or does

761
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,920
that kind of rouse him?
I don't know JB make these

762
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,480
stability test.
Difficulty. 3.

763
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,040
I just I'm at 1 stability so
like I'm not going to.

764
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,320
You might want to save it.
Yeah, yes.

765
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:10,760
Are you kidding me?
What do you mean 1 again?

766
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:13,640
OK, why?
How many?

767
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,400
Why is that?
Why?

768
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,840
Since JV is still fighting me, I
would like to make a

769
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:25,480
psychoanalysis role to try and
get him to stop acting in an

770
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,960
erratic slash irrational manner.
I suppose that makes sense.

771
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,640
Yeah, at least for a moment.
Yeah.

772
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,640
For the record, during this
session we have rolled 7 ones so

773
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,520
far.
Nice.

774
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,720
OK, so I'm gonna spend one point
on the roll.

775
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,040
I did not need to spend the
point, that is OK.

776
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,760
I spent a total of 2 points.
OK, I'm good.

777
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,160
I'm good.
JB Odd or even.

778
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:54,080
I hate you so much, Dan.
Since we seem to be rolling

779
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,800
nothing but once, I'll say odds.
OK, I'm making the roll.

780
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:01,320
Does that change your mind?
Evens.

781
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,880
Evens.
OK.

782
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,480
Yes, OK.
Yes.

783
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,040
Presumably 2.
That is a 2.

784
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,320
Is that good?
You do not pocket the flask of

785
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:12,400
Nectar.
You OK?

786
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,520
All right, great.
We heard gunfire.

787
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,040
Look, we're we should you good.
We should go.

788
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,040
I'm good.
I'm good.

789
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:23,600
Let's.
Let's.

790
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:28,000
Yeah.
You arrive at the beginnings of

791
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,840
the camp that was being set up
by your porters, and it's a seed

792
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:39,640
almost out of a nightmare.
Look, is the idea of a bunch of

793
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,360
natives attacking people maybe a
little bit problematic?

794
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,160
Maybe though they are attacking
other Mayans as well as you

795
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,240
white people.
Yeah, they're, they're attacking

796
00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:53,400
everybody.
Just assumed they were restless

797
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,840
dead they are.
Also maybe restless dead or

798
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,320
something.
I need everybody as you are

799
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:05,760
being assaulted by a huge number
of these cold tests.

800
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,960
Question mark.
Roll for privilege.

801
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,280
Gotcha.
Tell me what each one of you

802
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,000
does.
I I'm going to take aim with my

803
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,240
comically powerful rifle and
try.

804
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:17,600
All right.
You have an elephant gun.

805
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,760
Yep.
I don't think we ever said that

806
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,400
on the line.
You said I get a rifle and we

807
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,760
discussed it out of the
recording that you have an

808
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:29,480
elephant gun.
So for the listeners I have AI

809
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:34,240
think Harold and Harold double
express 600 elephant gun which

810
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:38,600
does a ridiculous amount of
damage especially at point

811
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,880
blank.
The ideal is that they're not

812
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:45,280
going to get that close, of
course, but you know, if if we

813
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:46,200
must.
Yeah.

814
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,600
All right.
Do you want to wait for them to

815
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,320
get to point blank, or do you
want to take a shot when they're

816
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,840
only at short or close?
So they're at close right now.

817
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,720
They are.
Some are at close, yes.

818
00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:01,960
Yeah, I will take a shot at the
closest to the group.

819
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,360
All right, get threshold of
five.

820
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,920
I will spend one out of my
firearms that is not successful.

821
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:12,840
You miss.
I also need you to make an

822
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,560
athletics check.
Difficulty 3.

823
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,280
Yep, or you are knocked over by
the force of your elephant gun.

824
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,840
You know what, for this one,
just for hits and giggles, I'm

825
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,200
going to roll it straight.
I have enough, I have enough of

826
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,160
athletics to to spare, but I'm
going to roll it straight

827
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,640
because.
OK, haha.

828
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,520
I succeeded.
OK.

829
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,120
All right, all right.
By the skin of your teeth.

830
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,160
All right, that's what Doctor
Smalls is getting up to.

831
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,160
Anybody else telling me what
they're doing?

832
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,160
I will take potshots with my
service revolver.

833
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,800
OK, Service revolver here's.
I don't know.

834
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,880
Yeah, sure.
Gun lingo.

835
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,760
Oh, I've never fired a firearm
before.

836
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,120
Have you really never shot a gun
before in this game?

837
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,280
I think that might actually.
Be in this game, Yeah.

838
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,800
I didn't even have the skill
until Mexico.

839
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,360
Yeah, I'm just gonna roll that
straight because I don't have a

840
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,640
lot of firearms to spare, OK?
And it's -1 because I'm shaking.

841
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,440
Oh, you've got a 1/6 that would
have worked if you weren't

842
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:12,120
shaking.
You miss the the shot actually

843
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,520
does fly through one of them,
but it does not hit anything

844
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,440
solid.
They seem to be phasing in and

845
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,840
out of existence.
I'm also going to reveal that

846
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,560
the reason that Colin never went
to the war is because he could

847
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,160
not handle firearms very well.
The sound threw him off.

848
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:26,640
Yeah.
Of course.

849
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:31,400
JB, what do you do?
Hey, should we be running like

850
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,200
out of character?
Should we be running for our

851
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,800
lives, guys?
I don't think we have much of a

852
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,680
place to run.
Yeah, yeah.

853
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,920
All right, I have a sneaking
suspicion I might be wrong.

854
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,080
That like if we get far enough
away from the temple they will

855
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,040
disappear.
Maybe.

856
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,320
Shall we test it out?
Or maybe we flee into the

857
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:53,400
temple.
I mean.

858
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,640
And they pick us off 1 by 1.
Great.

859
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,880
Our objective is still the
temple, because that's

860
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:03,320
ostensibly where the thing that
could kill a God is.

861
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,920
Yeah, If this whole journey ends
up being for nothing, I will

862
00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:11,480
probably start crying.
Maybe we'll see how it goes.

863
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,240
Well, what do you think?
You're on an awful.

864
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,120
I was just handed shotgun,
probably for this exact purpose.

865
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,280
I mean, the porters have to have
hit some of them, right?

866
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,600
They have, yes.
They've, they've hit a couple of

867
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,000
them.
You saw at least two of them

868
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,560
die.
OK, so it's possible to kill

869
00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:30,040
them?
Yeah.

870
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,760
OK, I.
Makes sense?

871
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,040
Shotgun did not work.
I rolled another one.

872
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,080
Fuck off.
Hey, I'm just gonna.

873
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,440
I just need to test to make
sure.

874
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,320
OK, so I can roll things that
aren't one.

875
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,960
Just not when it counts.
Just not when it counts.

876
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:54,600
I miss with my shotgun and.
All right, I haven't gone.

877
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,080
Yet, and I believe we Yeah, I
was going to say currents.

878
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,240
Is this a Full Auto moment?
This is absolutely a Full Auto

879
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,240
moment.
Yeah, I think so too.

880
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:09,160
I reached JB and Smalls turn
around, comically hit both of

881
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,440
them with this beer that's
sticking out of my back.

882
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,280
Whack.
Whack.

883
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:24,800
So if you are going Full Auto
because you got a larger

884
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,880
magazine for this guy, you're
going to have three free points

885
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,320
to spend on this roll.
I should also note though, if

886
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,080
you roll A1 the God will change.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know.

887
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,320
What are the chances of that
happening again?

888
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,320
Fuck off.
Please don't, Please stop me.

889
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,960
God, I mean in this session.
You could fix it, it just takes

890
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,360
a round.
We're old, we're old. 8 ones so

891
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,520
far I.
Mean you should have enough

892
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:54,400
points to to just span OK.
Yeah, but you, I mean you have.

893
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,080
To hold them out, a little luck
check.

894
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,880
Yeah, rolling a straight 1 means
you miss so.

895
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,320
Oh well, yeah, so you still have
to roll.

896
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,800
How many targets would you like
to target?

897
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:10,240
As many of them as possible.
So for each target after the

898
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:14,360
first, it's going to take one
additional like hit threshold to

899
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,480
hit them.
So the difficulty to hit them

900
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,960
right now is five.
If you're shooting two of them,

901
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:21,800
the difficulty is 6.
If you're shooting three of

902
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,200
them, the difficulty is 7.
And so on and so forth.

903
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,680
So there's 28 of them, right?
There are 28 of them, yes.

904
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,920
Give or take.
So all I have to beat is 32.

905
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:36,400
Yes, your math is correct.
But like, don't do that.

906
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,280
No, I'm not gonna.
It's really hard to roll on AD

907
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,720
six, yeah.
I mean, you have a couple of

908
00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:43,480
points you could add, but I
don't know if you have that many

909
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:48,480
points to add.
No, I have 8 + 3.

910
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,040
Yeah, I don't think we're gonna
get the chance to rest and

911
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,240
refresh the points, so I must
spend 3.

912
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,040
And how many are you targeting?
OK, I'm gonna try to hit 4 of

913
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,040
them.
OK.

914
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,040
Oh God.
Here we.

915
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,280
Go 11.
Yes, OK, roll damage.

916
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,360
What's damage on the ton?
What's damage?

917
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,040
Again, if they're at close, it's
gonna be plus one.

918
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,880
OK, 5.
A respectable 5 damage for four

919
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,480
different opponents.
You got down four of them.

920
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,760
Nice.
Yes, and we're 22 remain.

921
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,320
Yeah, we're 22.
Don't.

922
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,120
Say it like that.
That does not.

923
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,160
That is the most optimistic way
of saying.

924
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,040
That does not feel like an
achievement.

925
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,680
OK, all of you who failed at
roles, which is everybody but

926
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,280
Kerns, are going to be attacked.
Yeah, yeah, that makes.

927
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:38,000
Sense.
That makes sense.

928
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,280
This is What about Rick?
Oh yeah, Rick is going to make a

929
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,080
shot with his gun.
He's going to shoot at the one

930
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,400
right in front of him.
Rick misses as well.

931
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,640
Fuck you, Rick.
OK, where are we running?

932
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,600
OK, damage to Rick.
Rick takes one damage.

933
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:57,480
OK, this is to hit Mr. Smalls.
Doctor Smalls, thank you very

934
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,320
much.
This is to hit Doctor Smalls.

935
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:01,800
That's a hit, though.
Right.

936
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,320
Yeah, that's a.
Hit YEAH 100.

937
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,600
Percent Real 20 just really
doesn't like us tonight.

938
00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:08,640
Yeah, you take 4 damage.
Ow.

939
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,360
This is against Mr. Caine.
Professor Caine, please.

940
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:13,800
That.
That's.

941
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,080
Gonna miss, doesn't it?
Woo or wait?

942
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:17,600
I think my hip threshold is 3,
no?

943
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:18,840
I thought.
It was four.

944
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:23,760
OK, so your hip threshold is 3.
Yeah, you take 4 damage.

945
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,760
Is that all?
Yeah, and this one's against JB.

946
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:29,520
That hits.
I'll take this one.

947
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,280
We'll take that one.
OK, yeah, I'll take this one.

948
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,000
You take one damage there you.
Go.

949
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:41,800
OW stepped on the Lego.
Ironically.

950
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,440
They all disappear.
Probably.

951
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:44,800
What?
All of them disappear.

952
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,320
They're gone.
Ow.

953
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,440
All of your porters are dead.
Yeah, great.

954
00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:51,400
I saw that coming.
That makes sense.

955
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,640
Look, I didn't want to have a
bunch of people to keep track

956
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:54,440
of.
No, that's right.

957
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:59,000
This was this was done
specifically to call the herd.

958
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,920
Well, maybe I was going to kill
one of you too.

959
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,840
You never know how it goes.
I think with your life total,

960
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,080
some of you have are having a
pretty rough time with it.

961
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:10,160
Yeah, I'm pretty close.
Right, let's take a moment and

962
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,440
first aid people.
Yes, please. 1st we have some

963
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,240
stability checks to make.
A fucking course.

964
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,960
Yeah, I guess.
Difficulty 4 Loss of five with

965
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,560
this supernatural killing.
Taking it straight actually

966
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,200
succeeded.
Me too for fun.

967
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,960
I'm going to spend loss of five.
Loss of five, yeah.

968
00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:35,720
I succeeded.
I am into blasted territory.

969
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,760
Oh no.
I succeed.

970
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:44,920
OK, step one, first aid and some
psychoanalysis so that Cain

971
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:49,040
isn't useless.
Yeah.

972
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,560
Well, I'm blasted.
Don't I go screaming off into

973
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,160
the jungle?
Don't you fucking?

974
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,960
So when you become blasted, your
sanity is going to be affected.

975
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,960
Cool.
So you are going to lose 1 point

976
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,320
of sanity.
What does that put you at now?

977
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:09,240
Two, do I lose a second point
after the book or sanity rules

978
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:13,400
are kind of wibbly wobbly?
You can lose a total of two in

979
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,840
one adventure.
All right, I'm good.

980
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,440
You can.
Lose a total of 2 SO.

981
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,080
Yeah, I'm invincible now.
Are you?

982
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:24,760
That is not what that means and
you know it.

983
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,080
So is Colin running off into the
woods?

984
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:33,080
Well, Colin, are you flight
fight or freeze?

985
00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:34,520
Freeze.
Well, there's nothing left to

986
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:35,480
fight.
Yeah.

987
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:36,840
Just freeze.
Just freeze.

988
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,840
You can do it's.
OK, run screaming towards.

989
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,720
It's about 10.
I really want her run off

990
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:45,760
screaming because I have an idea
what might happen.

991
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:46,600
Please.
Don't.

992
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,480
Don't you dare do it.
No.

993
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,560
Before we say this, I want it to
be known that this is a bit.

994
00:55:53,720 --> 00:55:57,840
But with that said Russell, if
you do this, it will affect our

995
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:02,600
real life friendship.
Well, if I freeze, I want to do

996
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,320
it in an interesting way, but
the most interesting thing I can

997
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,400
do right now is just collapse
onto my face.

998
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,360
Are you sure you don't want to
run?

999
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,200
I think run could be.
I think run could be good for

1000
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,720
you actually.
I don't believe that for a

1001
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:18,720
fucking second.
I will collapse into a heap of

1002
00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:19,840
it.
Of what?

1003
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,880
Telling you the truth, it was
maybe going to lead to something

1004
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,040
that would help you.
I felt like you guys maybe

1005
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:30,200
needed some help but OK OK.
I did just lose half my health.

1006
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,040
Yeah, no offense, but you've
given us zero reason to trust

1007
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:34,720
your word.
Ever.

1008
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,480
Here's the reason you Here's the
reason you should trust my word.

1009
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,160
I don't want you all to die
before you go into any of the

1010
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,880
buildings.
That's what you say.

1011
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,160
The image of Colin running
screaming off into the jungle

1012
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,280
and just being picked off by one
of these flying frog monsters

1013
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,840
would be great though.
OK, can we start first dating

1014
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,840
each other?
Yeah, let's, let's, let's Yeah.

1015
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,600
Everybody start healing.
OK.

1016
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,240
How many points is everyone
missing?

1017
00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:04,000
I'm missing none.
Rick only took a little like

1018
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,160
hit.
He is not asking for any help.

1019
00:57:06,240 --> 00:57:07,920
His stability has gone down a
bit.

1020
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:12,240
You don't know what?
I'm missing 9 points. 9.

1021
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,760
I'm at 8, yeah.
But Rick is just sort of

1022
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,120
standing around pointing his gun
randomly at any anything that he

1023
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,360
thinks might be a monster.
Totally understandable if.

1024
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,640
I pull the spear out of me.
Do I make it worse?

1025
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,160
It's part of the first aid, it's
part of the first aid.

1026
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,880
It's fun.
OK, how did you take 9 damage

1027
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,880
during that encounter?
Well, no, I was at 12 to start

1028
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,960
with.
Oh so you have 9 left, You

1029
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,200
didn't take 9 damage, you have 9
health left, is that right?

1030
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,480
I have eight health left.
Oh OK.

1031
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,280
How much damage did you take
this encounter?

1032
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:53,000
I had 12 so I lost 4.
OK, I'm going to spend my 4

1033
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,480
points of first aid to heal you.
2 for one.

1034
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,360
You only need to spend 2.
Oh, it's 2 for 1/2.

1035
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:04,040
OK, yeah, I spent 2 heal you
back to 12.

1036
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,760
Thank you who who needs healing?
I've got 3 points.

1037
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,440
I am at two of six.
I've lost 4 points.

1038
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,760
OK, I'll spend 2 points.
Squishy motherfucker.

1039
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,080
Yes, he's a professor.
Exactly.

1040
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,160
With 10 athletics.
Yeah, and a shit ton of

1041
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,760
scuffling.
Yeah, you could be a gym

1042
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,040
teacher.
Hey, sometimes you just have to

1043
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,640
like, lay the smack down on the
puff, love.

1044
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:30,240
All right, Colin, how much?
Colin is down 5.

1045
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,680
I can give you 2 points.
I'm frozen so.

1046
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:36,520
So you're not going to resist
this.

1047
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,120
Yeah.
And I'll also spend a point to

1048
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,120
give you 4 four points total for
Colin.

1049
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,400
Yeah, I'm imagining you guys
were busy first dating each

1050
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,720
other and I'm just on the
ground, ass in the air,

1051
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,360
conscious but not acting like
it.

1052
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,480
I.
Would like to make a

1053
00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:01,000
psychoanalysis role to try and
improve Colin's viewpoints to be

1054
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:06,600
on the world.
Yeah, I'm gonna roll straight at

1055
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,680
the difficulty. 3 for me.
Hey, I succeeded.

1056
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:15,920
Yay Colin, I do believe this is
gonna give you 4 points back,

1057
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,880
but I'm going to be spending my
last two points on you.

1058
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,240
Fair enough.
So you get 4 back.

1059
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,080
OK, that brings me to a -, 3.
Yeah.

1060
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,040
So you're still shaking, but
you're, you know, used, OK.

1061
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,160
I told them the ghosts were
nothing to worry about.

1062
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,200
They're gone now.
You don't.

1063
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:32,800
You don't have to worry.
You're safe.

1064
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:37,720
Safe as we can be right now.
This spear and that arrow that

1065
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,520
were taken out of my body, can I
look at them?

1066
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,760
Yeah.
Just regular as spear and arrow,

1067
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,600
wood and metal.
Yeah, it seems to be so.

1068
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:54,680
It appears to be a well made
arrow and spear.

1069
00:59:55,360 --> 01:00:01,520
The weapons themselves are
freshly made, as it were, Like

1070
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,800
they are not some sort of
ancient weapon that's been

1071
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,440
kicking around.
They are, you know, recently

1072
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,840
made weapons.
Any carvings?

1073
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,320
Nothing.
Well, no.

1074
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,040
As I mentioned, the Shields are
adorned with flayed human faces.

1075
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,800
The ones that died, are they
still there or did they

1076
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,360
disappear?
They have disappeared.

1077
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:25,960
Fuck off.
You know what, Rick looks at one

1078
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:30,400
of these weapons and says this.
This should be a relic.

1079
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,880
This is the style and
construction of bio weapons

1080
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:38,680
circa 1500 or so.
Anybody else with archaeology or

1081
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,800
anthropology can confirm that?
I confirmed that.

1082
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:47,280
OK, So what are we talking here?
Some sort of pocket dimension?

1083
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,640
Kerns looks sheepish.
I I have been reading some

1084
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,280
science fiction.
Jeppel nice pieces for Della

1085
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,560
Vegas collection.
No, but like, where did they

1086
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,160
come from and where'd they go?
Or shit, they come from Cotton

1087
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:05,720
Eye Joe.
Rick is taking one of them one

1088
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,280
of the Spears and like looking
at it, trying to see if you can

1089
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,480
figure anything else about it.
He is unable to though, except

1090
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:17,560
confirming that they are all of
a design similar to the 1500s or

1091
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:19,680
so.
So I have archaeology.

1092
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,040
I also have a couple of points
in crap.

1093
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,360
Does that give me any more or
different information?

1094
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,960
No archaeology would have given
you that information about them

1095
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:33,120
being the style construction of
my weapons circa 1500.

1096
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,840
I'm a pop a couple pills for
pain.

1097
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,400
Understandable.
Just for just for shits and

1098
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:46,840
giggles, gentlemen, what if one
of us runs back in there?

1099
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:48,040
Do you think they'll appear
again?

1100
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,880
Oh, they're not trying to do.
Yeah, but let's not test that.

1101
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:53,120
Let's just.
Rick says go.

1102
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,600
Over there.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

1103
01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:00,440
Let's leave.
That's the smartest thing Rick

1104
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,440
has ever said.
Let's leave.

1105
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:04,840
You go ahead.
We can't do.

1106
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:10,800
That yet we cannot do that.
Cool, have fun, I'm a leave.

1107
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:17,920
Mr. Luke, I appreciate that this
is a very risky situation.

1108
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:24,120
However, with great risk does
come promise of great reward as

1109
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,480
well.
As you are saying this, he is

1110
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,720
gathering canteens from the
destroyed camp.

1111
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,640
He's gathering some food, he's
loading it up into a bag,

1112
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:37,080
getting ready for a journey.
I am trying to use reassurance

1113
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,640
here as well to try and convince
him I can make a spend if you

1114
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,480
wish.
You're going to need to make a

1115
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,240
spend, yes.
OK.

1116
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:49,720
So I will spend a point so and
I'll just finish it off with

1117
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:55,320
while yes, there are risks
involved, just imagine the

1118
01:02:55,320 --> 01:03:00,160
archaeological finds and
evidence that we could get from

1119
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:04,320
inside of that here.
What would that do to your

1120
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:08,440
reputation as an archaeologist?
I'll stick around for a little

1121
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,320
while, but next time I see
something that's trying to kill

1122
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:15,760
me, if it disappears but it's
still around somehow, he says,

1123
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,840
flipping around like not doing a
backflip, but just like turning

1124
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,200
around really fast here and
there.

1125
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:27,840
What job I and he sets up.
He sets up like a go back

1126
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:31,600
essentially in the middle of the
Plaza, ready for him to take and

1127
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,520
run.
That is pretty smart, all things

1128
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,800
considered.
OK, so do we make a beeline for

1129
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,960
the pyramid or do we want to
check out the sinkhole first?

1130
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,080
I say pyramid.
I say pyramid because.

1131
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,120
I got no better ideas.
You know, in theory, that is

1132
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:53,720
where our goal should be.
That's what we're we should,

1133
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,880
what we're looking for should be
there.

1134
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,440
If not, we'll check the sinkhole
and if we see something

1135
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,880
terrifying, we all run into the
jungle and never speak of this

1136
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,600
again.
You realize that actually one of

1137
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,640
your Porter's man by the name of
Fernando is still alive.

1138
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,240
Oh, Daniel Fernando.
No, just Fernando.

1139
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:20,120
You see Fernando pick up a bag
and run straight into the

1140
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,400
jungle.
Wait, Fernando, you need first

1141
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,720
aid.
Which bag did he pick up?

1142
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:26,360
Please tell me it was the go
bag.

1143
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:31,440
You hear a scream from Fernando
for a moment after he gets to

1144
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,240
the tree line.
The scream does not last long.

1145
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,200
Is there a chomping sound?
There is.

1146
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:39,080
Still want to go after him,
Rick?

1147
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,760
Pyramid, Pyramid.
Pyramid, Pyramid.

1148
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:56,980
Let's go.
Thanks for listening.

1154
01:05:11,420 --> 01:05:14,100
We have a Patreon at
patreon.com/dread Tails and we

1155
01:05:14,100 --> 01:05:15,780
do a live stream the last Sunday
of the month.

1156
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,560
You can find links to these and
other things on the link tree in

1157
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,640
the show notes.
Again, thanks for listening and

1158
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:25,000
until next time, we're doing a
24 hour live stream on April

1159
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,240
17th and 18th.
It's going to be awful.

1160
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:28,000
Please TuneIn.
