Last time on eternal lies.
5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,000
Making their way at last to the
sight of Teaching Jewel, alleged
6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,160
sight of a weapon to combat the
liar from beyond.
7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,240
The investigators discovered the
remains of the cult expedition
8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,360
as they explored the ruin.
The unsettling events, mounted
9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,160
bodies, warriors out of time,
and an unseen creature watching
10
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,680
from the jungle drove our
faltering team to the structure
11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,000
dominating the area.
A great stepped pyramid.
12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,920
The die is cast, The pact is
sealed.
13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,360
May God have mercy on our souls.
It's Daniel's Tread tales.
14
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,960
Yeah, yeah, the monstrated dude.
We heard a terrifying roar and
15
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:08,240
we all started hooking it
towards the pyramid.
16
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:11,240
After we were attacked by
Kochman.
17
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,800
Nick Luke is OK.
Rick Luke.
18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,400
Glitch Ever.
And I convinced him to stay.
19
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,640
You convinced him to stay,
right?
20
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,600
We did do that.
We did do that.
21
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,440
Great.
I regretted it.
22
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,080
Even though I wasn't the one who
did it, I regretted it.
23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,120
So you are running up the stairs
of the pyramid then?
24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,640
Yeah, towards the top.
Yeah, sure.
25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,320
Unless there's any reason not
to, no.
26
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,600
I'm just just want to be clear
of what's going on.
27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,520
I'm running last.
Do you want to like, try to
28
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,160
observe the pyramid as you run
up with any sort of observation
29
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Y skills or anything?
I know that we are probably in
30
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,440
runaway from the horrible
monster sounds of the forest.
31
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,120
Oh, by the way, now you're
hearing footsteps.
32
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,240
Who's all steps?
Does it sound like footsteps on
33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,800
2 legs or 4 legs?
Oh, it's probably just your
34
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,560
footsteps.
You're right.
35
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:12,600
Yeah.
No, it's just you running.
36
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,560
That's fine.
Can I look back and check?
37
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,600
The forest seems to be moving.
The forest seems to be.
38
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,640
Moving.
All of the trees are moving
39
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:23,960
around, stuff like that.
As in like.
40
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,160
As if something is in there
moving it.
41
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,960
OK, got it.
Good Sir.
42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Fuck.
Holy fuck.
43
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:31,680
Holy.
Fuck.
44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,920
OK, so JB is fully
disassociating and is going to
45
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,480
be like as he's running for his
life go huh?
46
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,720
The archaeology of this is quite
fascinating and I'm gonna use my
47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,520
archaeology and architecture
skills.
48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,800
Nice.
Yeah, I was thinking archaeology
49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,360
as well.
The pyramid is made out of solid
50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,720
stonework.
The steps are steep.
51
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,760
You are noticing that and your
knowledge of these sort of
52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,480
things means that there's
actually not usually a ton
53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,960
inside of one of these things.
There's usually a little bit of
54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,400
chambers inside, but mostly
what's going on is at the top
55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,160
and it's just solid stonework on
the inside and.
56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,480
If there's anything we know
about Lovecraft stories, it's
57
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,720
that everything is usual.
Exactly.
58
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:21,280
Also, there are glyphs all over
it and it seems like the glyphs
59
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,160
have constantly changed back and
forth between Mayan and Jewel
60
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,280
and Mayan again as they go back
and forth.
61
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,960
I speak Mayan.
What do they say?
62
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,800
They label this as the Pyramid
of the Sorcerer.
63
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,280
Yeah, Zinch.
And it says that it is a nest or
64
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,240
a cage made that so gulks Amal
could see the pyramid.
65
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,520
Yeah, I think Kearns is
dissociating a little bit as
66
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,760
well.
And as we're running, I'm just
67
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,080
in dialogue with JB and like,
huh, yes, the these, these
68
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,320
glyphs here.
Quite fascinating.
69
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,040
Yes, really fascinating that
they they say it's a nest or
70
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,120
something.
Huh, interesting.
71
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,840
One of them says the pyramid is
both young and old.
72
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,520
The pyramid is both young and
old.
73
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,200
I don't know how to interpret
that.
74
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,200
Galschmal can see the pyramid
because of the nest or cage or
75
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,200
something.
Huh.
76
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,400
Anyway, as you run up the side
of the pyramid, as you reach the
77
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,280
top, you're not quite to the
top, but you see that there are
78
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,800
at least on the side you're on.
You're on the West side because
79
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,720
that was the side closest to the
Plaza.
80
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:41,320
There are big slits that allow
you to see inside the pyramid,
81
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,280
or honestly, it's kind of hard
to see inside.
82
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:46,520
It's kind of dark.
Maybe it's more designed to see
83
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,200
outside of the pyramid.
Would you like to interact with
84
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,080
these or continue to run to the
top?
85
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,800
We have a flashlight, right?
Pretty sure.
86
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:55,800
Yeah.
Yeah.
87
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:58,480
Yeah, we have flashlights.
I'm going to stop for just like
88
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,320
a couple seconds and shine a
light in there.
89
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,480
You are a bit surprised when you
see a man standing inside.
90
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,600
Yeah, alive.
It's hard for the not alive ones
91
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,920
to stand.
Yes, he is looking worse for
92
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,440
wear.
He looks emaciated, as if he is
93
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,080
underfed, malnourished.
He also as you peek your head in
94
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,240
there, he says stay away and
pulls out a gun and aims through
95
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,920
the slit towards you.
Hey, there's a fella down there.
96
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,840
Huh.
Like is he speaking English?
97
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,120
He is like white.
He actually says that in
98
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,520
Spanish.
Oh, do you speak Spanish
99
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,920
actually?
I do, babe.
100
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,320
You do speak, yeah, One of our
Spanish speakers, yeah.
101
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Yeah, and I, I tell my
compatriots that there's a fella
102
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,240
inside and then I look at him
and go in Spanish.
103
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,480
I say what if I don't?
He shoots OK.
104
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,400
That's what, yeah, that's how
you'd get shot.
105
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,080
Ow.
He rolled A6 so he hits you.
106
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,240
Ow.
Now I need you to say odd or
107
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,560
even.
I'm making another roll.
108
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:04,920
Odd fuck.
You were hit by a bullet.
109
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,680
You've been shot.
Ouch.
110
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,400
OK.
The bullet itself looked weird
111
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,000
as it was flying towards you in
a way that first of all you
112
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,080
noticed it flying towards you,
which seems a little odd, like
113
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,240
it seemed to be moving slowly
and quickly.
114
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,360
At the same time, it reminds you
a little bit of the Mayan ghosts
115
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,560
that were attacking you earlier.
He's a.
116
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,240
Ghost.
Too.
117
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,360
OK, you got shot with a ghost
gun.
118
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,080
And for the record, I am using
the term ghost that you guys
119
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320
use.
I also would say that they are
120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,640
not Mayans.
Those would be Jewel that were
121
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,480
chasing after you and they
weren't these early ghosts.
122
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,720
They were maybe some other
phenomenon, but I'm I'm using
123
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,080
the terminology that you used
all of this to say I'm going to
124
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,600
roll AD 6 + 1 because you just
got shot.
125
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,120
I.
Please don't roll high 3.
126
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,800
OK, OK.
That was pretty.
127
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,200
Loud.
What did you think was going to
128
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,440
happen when he was waving the
gun around and telling you to
129
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,560
stay away?
I don't know a civilized
130
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,760
conversation.
He got a gun.
131
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,760
And I fire back into the the
slit.
132
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,600
He has taken cover inside his
hip.
133
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,400
Threshold is 6.
Preparedness to have a grenade
134
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,960
on me.
Oh my God.
135
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,440
I don't think a grenade can fit
through the slit.
136
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,000
Oh, it's very thin, OK.
OK, so he basically shot my ear
137
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
off or something.
So.
138
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,680
You know what bucket I'm a spend
2 points firearm.
139
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,920
I do want to say these slits do
not run up the entirety of the
140
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,800
pyramid.
You can't just run up the stairs
141
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,080
past these slits, but you also
could shoot the guy, which is
142
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,440
what you're doing.
Yeah, I mean, he shot one of my
143
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,120
traveling companions.
Fair.
144
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,200
I'm not saying that this is not
the right thing to do.
145
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,040
I am.
You're just implying it.
146
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,960
Go, go Gadget.
I roll.
147
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,600
I hit.
Roll your damage.
148
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,160
Oh no.
First, roll an athletics check
149
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,040
to not go flying off the pyramid
with your elephant gun.
150
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,360
You know what?
I'm just gonna spend the two
151
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,640
this time.
Yeah, yeah, that, that would
152
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,400
have been real bad.
This is the time just to do the
153
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,800
spend now.
What range bracket is this guy
154
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,520
at?
Short, close then.
155
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,920
I'm sorry. close.
Yeah, Not short.
156
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,160
Close.
So it's only a + 2 to mine.
157
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,720
Is that all?
Three.
158
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,240
He takes three damage from my
elephant gun.
159
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,960
All right.
I would assume that he would try
160
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,159
to be deafened too because like
stick the barrel in, but that's
161
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,360
all that's loud.
I need you to tell me odd or
162
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,880
even.
I'm a pick even.
163
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,039
OK, I rolled it even.
Every time he's asked us odd or
164
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,080
evens and this would happen the
last session too.
165
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,400
Every time he's rolled the two.
Blame roll 20 for that.
166
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,280
Fucking roll 20.
Hey, I chose right so I'm OK
167
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,400
with it in this case.
The bullet flies through the big
168
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,960
gas bullet flies through, hits
him in the side and he goes
169
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,600
down.
He then sort of stumbles to his
170
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:07,600
feet, clutching his side and
saying escape, escape, escape,
171
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,400
and you see his whole body begin
to quiver and twitch.
172
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,840
Uh.
Oh, what's going on down there?
173
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,760
Colin shouts from the top of the
pyramid.
174
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,000
Yeah.
I mean, I'm, I'm probably
175
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
sitting on my ass on the on one
of the steps of the pyramid,
176
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,840
just clutching at my bleeding
ear.
177
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,000
I shot the guy that shot your
boyfriend.
178
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,640
Thank you.
Please come back to running with
179
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,760
us.
OK, let's go.
180
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,760
You see him if you're trying to
look through the slit at him,
181
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,960
are you?
Do you keep an eye?
182
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,520
On the board, you just run.
Yeah, I I'm curious at this
183
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,160
point.
OK, Mr. Smalls.
184
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:48,760
Dr. Smalls.
You.
185
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,880
I'm sorry, Doctor Smalls.
That's very rude of me.
186
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,200
You didn't go to college to not
be called Doctor Smalls.
187
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,400
Exactly.
So what's my stability check?
188
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,760
Let me tell you what you see
first, OK?
189
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,880
But you're not denying that
there is one.
190
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:12,560
He runs forward, reaching his
arms towards you through the
191
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:17,880
slit to reach reach you, and as
he does that he screams in pain
192
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:24,560
as he keeps saying escape,
escape and his body disappears.
193
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,560
All that's left are two ragged
stumps of arm sticking through
194
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,880
the slits.
That's a something you don't see
195
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,440
every day.
Well actually the way his body
196
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,120
disappeared, it's similar to how
the jewel that were attacking
197
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,760
you disappeared as they phased
in and out of you being able to
198
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,080
see them.
However, in this situation, it
199
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,240
didn't seem like all of him
fazed at once.
200
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,480
Yeah.
I need you to make a possible
201
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,360
loss of four difficulty 5
mythos.
202
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,080
Check for stability.
Oh.
203
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,800
To meet those checks.
If I fail this, I lose sanity.
204
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,840
If it brings you down to the
negatives.
205
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,200
Oh, OK, yeah.
And it's only a loss of four.
206
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,720
Yeah, bow rolls.
What's the worst that could
207
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,320
happen?
I succeed.
208
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,640
Boom.
Barely.
209
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:15,320
I'm.
Genuinely surprised.
210
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,520
So so am I.
All right.
211
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:20,360
Meanwhile, at the top of the
pyramid, for the people that
212
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,160
were actually running for their
lives, by the way, JB and Colin,
213
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,080
you've reached the top of the
pyramid.
214
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,440
It is A at the top, there is
like a little bit of a roof
215
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,480
above you.
It's sort of an enclosed
216
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:39,520
structure where an altar exists.
You step through an open air
217
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,600
doorway from the West side where
you were running up the stairs.
218
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,920
You see that there is a
stairwell leading downwards in
219
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,280
this room.
And well, I guess I should
220
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,440
describe the altar that you see
without doing any additional
221
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,640
research.
It is dominating the entire
222
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,680
room.
It's a big stone altar at a
223
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:02,960
large Redstone disk in the floor
at the base.
224
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,760
The rest of the chamber is
undecorated stone.
225
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,480
The only light that comes
through is that that comes
226
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,520
through the doorway, and the
altar depicts a large man in
227
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,080
warrior garb on his hands and
knees, grimacing in pain with a
228
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,280
bowl set upon his back.
Can I use some anthropology
229
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,720
here?
Absolutely.
230
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,400
You recognize this as an
interesting sort of inversion of
231
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:32,320
a classical Chuck Wool figure,
which is where they are on their
232
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,080
back.
They're like reclining and the
233
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,040
bowl is on their belly.
This is sort of the opposite of
234
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,840
that.
You also recognize this as an
235
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:47,240
altar that would very much be
used for human sacrifices.
236
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,480
All right, JB, no time to
explain.
237
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,920
Get your knife out.
I do not do that.
238
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,280
Yeah, I think we got nothing
else we could do up here.
239
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,560
Then wait for the others.
I assumed they catch up.
240
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Yeah.
And I wasn't sure if I
241
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,760
understood, is there an entrance
to the pyramid up here at all
242
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,760
or?
There are stairs going downward
243
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,600
into the pyramid.
OK, that is why we're here.
244
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,720
Put as much between US and the
open sky as we can.
245
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,000
Yeah, big time.
Let's go.
246
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,000
Yeah, let's let's get down.
Blop blop blop blop blop.
247
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,080
I lost a shoe.
You're going to need that if
248
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,640
we're going to run for our
lives, which, you know, fair,
249
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,760
fair.
Probably as you move towards the
250
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,520
stairs, you see that there is a
trap door right next to the
251
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,360
altar leading directly down.
As you sort of think about it,
252
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,000
you realize that would lead down
theoretically to the room where
253
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,520
the guy was.
Should we check out this guy
254
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,000
room I.
Do love me a good guy room?
255
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:48,720
I guess that's the answer,
isn't?
256
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,440
Curtis blushes.
Y'all know what I meant?
257
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,600
Yeah.
I've never been to the guy room.
258
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,120
That's OK, there's no shame in
that.
259
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,040
And the trapdoor.
I open it.
260
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,040
You'd love to open a trapdoor.
The opening trapdoors is super
261
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,640
cool.
If you can't do it, you can't
262
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,720
open it.
I say trapdoor.
263
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,040
I suppose that's a missed over.
I guess we could call it a
264
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,800
hatch.
It's not a door that when you
265
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,800
step on it, you fall down.
It is a hatch not unable to
266
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,040
open.
Unable.
267
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,040
Is it just like jammed or?
There seems to be a lock
268
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,440
mechanism.
Mr. Caine.
269
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Interesting.
What kind of lock mechanism
270
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,400
doesn't need a code?
Who has locksmith?
271
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:29,280
4815162342.
No, it seems like it is blocked
272
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,160
via like metal bars that are
blocking it, which would make it
273
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,520
completely inaccessible, so that
can't be right.
274
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,360
So there must be some way to
open it from this side.
275
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,760
As you're looking around around,
if you want to keep looking
276
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,760
around with your locksmith
skill, certainly you notice that
277
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:54,360
this whole trapdoor is connected
to holes in the floor underneath
278
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,560
where the altar is.
You see, there's like sort of
279
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,640
underground sort of tubes maybe
coming from the altar to this
280
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,880
trapdoor.
Tubes is where liquids go.
281
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,600
Yeah.
You don't think?
282
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,360
No, it's nothing like that.
JBI think it's blood.
283
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,080
That's what I was.
What do you think of me as a
284
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,320
person, Colin?
Well, Colin, you would know
285
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,560
this.
Well, maybe you wouldn't with
286
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,360
your mental state.
It wouldn't necessarily have to
287
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,080
be blood.
If this was triggered by blood,
288
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,440
it could theoretically be
triggered by any sort of.
289
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,520
Liquid.
I did think of that, but also,
290
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,400
you know, there's weird stuff
going on.
291
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,240
Kerns and zips.
No.
292
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,040
Honestly as the player I had a
similar thought.
293
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,320
Colin unzips.
Stop unzipping.
294
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,760
PJPP like your life depends on
it.
295
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:53,720
Do you pie on the altar?
Oh my God this is so wrong.
296
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Yes.
Are we running for our lives
297
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,520
like 20 seconds ago?
Should we keep running please?
298
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,760
Where's the monster?
I can't stop midstream.
299
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,000
I don't know.
You don't hear anything.
300
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,640
You don't hear anything chasing
you.
301
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,720
When in Rome, malls will pee on
the altar.
302
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,520
OK, I guess we're doing this.
I think in some cultures this
303
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,800
means we're married.
We actually do.
304
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:24,880
We just joking.
OK, so how much of A stream do
305
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,240
you?
They scared the piss out of a
306
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,040
Stan do.
You have 3 liters of fluid
307
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,640
between the four of you.
Oh, OK, hold on.
308
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,760
I can't breathe.
I'll let it pass.
309
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,320
Yay.
Thanks, Dan.
310
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,080
I I look, I look at everybody
and they so.
311
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,920
Sorry.
I look everybody in the eye and
312
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,800
I go.
We can never tell anyone about
313
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,440
this.
Oh yeah, this is.
314
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,080
You neither, Rick.
Oh yeah, Rick by.
315
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,560
The way Rick pulled out his
pants and pissed off that's.
316
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,960
Fine, perfect.
Of course he did.
317
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,480
Of course he did.
That's.
318
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:10,560
With that, you hear a metal
scraping and the trap door is
319
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,280
unlocked.
Rick just says for a second,
320
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,599
hold on, hold on, hold on.
Listen, it's quiet now.
321
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,839
I thought I heard something
chasing us, but I don't hear
322
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,200
anything are.
The trees still moving.
323
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:28,079
Well, so Rick turns around and
looks back down the pyramid and
324
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:31,760
he falls backwards and screams a
little bit.
325
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,560
Do you look at what Rick Luke is
going to look at?
326
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,280
Sure, I was wondering about the
trees already.
327
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,120
Mr. Kern.
Doctor Smalls, what's up you?
328
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,240
Mind seeing what he's making
such a fuss about?
329
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,880
Sure.
Sitting at the bottom of the
330
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,560
stairs of the pyramid is a
thing.
331
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,920
How to describe this thing?
It's a sort of like a toad skin
332
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,400
Jaguar, yeah.
Those are two words that should
333
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,600
not go together.
Nope.
334
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,160
And it's about the size of a
small car.
335
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,360
It has crumpled bat wings on its
back and a mouthful of Jaguar
336
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:17,960
teeth.
And it has a long Serpentine
337
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:23,360
tongue that it's using to like,
sort of like just sort of wiggle
338
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:26,600
around.
There's a big mangy cat down
339
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,200
there with wings.
It's use and it's time to go
340
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,920
well.
So if you look at it, you're
341
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,280
going to need to make stability
checks.
342
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,400
I was going to say yeah, bring I
I didn't look at it.
343
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,920
I see Rick Luke panic and
immediately I'm like OK, time to
344
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,760
time to go and I start opening
the Hatch.
345
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,440
All right, it looks like he's
going to be a three foot drop.
346
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,240
Yeah, I follow suit.
That's totally survivable.
347
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,000
If you do it right.
What's the difficulty?
348
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:01,400
This is going to be a potential
loss of four difficulty 4.
349
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,760
OK.
Yeah, sure.
350
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,080
No.
Now as I'm shaking, is that a
351
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,480
higher difficulty?
I forget.
352
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,320
Oh yeah, one more difficulty for
you, yeah.
353
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,440
All right, I failed.
Everybody failed.
354
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,400
I am shaken.
I am blasted.
355
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,560
How about Rick Luke?
Rick has fallen backwards and is
356
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,680
I'm not going to roll his
stability.
357
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,080
I've got an idea of where his
stability is going to go so.
358
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,640
Huh.
That bad, huh?
359
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,320
However, this thing is not going
up the stairs.
360
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,960
As in it won't or it can't.
I don't know its huge yellow
361
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:45,400
eyes are looking up at but it is
not able or willing at least to
362
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,000
climb up the temple.
You guys coming down the hall?
363
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,640
Yeah, Yeah, I think we're good
for now.
364
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:53,200
Colin is blasted and runs down
the stairs.
365
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,520
No, no, wait.
Which stairs, Colin?
366
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,400
The ones inside.
OK.
367
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,280
Oh thank God.
Holy shit I oh shit.
368
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,800
All right, the people who jumped
down the hole already are going
369
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,400
to have some difficulty getting
out of it.
370
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,480
But you're running down the
stairs.
371
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,640
Let's, let's see what you see as
you run down the stairs.
372
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,400
OK?
You run down the stairs a little
373
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,280
bit, and you find yourself in an
underground passage.
374
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,200
Well, not underground, under
pyramid.
375
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,800
You you haven't got deep enough
that you're underground.
376
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,160
An interior space.
Yeah, you are beneath the
377
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,320
pyramid and you see a hallway in
front of you.
378
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,360
The hallway seems to be about 10
feet wide, and it seems to just
379
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:41,640
go deep into the pyramid.
Are there any skills?
380
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,000
I guess you're just running,
right?
381
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,080
You're just running.
Fleeing into the darkness.
382
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,320
OK, as you flee into the
darkness.
383
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:49,520
Oh yeah, I guess you can't see
any of this, right?
384
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,000
Or did you bring a light with
you?
385
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,000
I'd probably have some sort of
light.
386
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,800
All right as you step on the
ground here.
387
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,240
Should I be going with you, do
you think?
388
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,840
Oh, no idea.
OK, I'm in the Hatch, Colin's in
389
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,600
the stairs.
I'm in the Hatch.
390
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:07,960
OK, Rick is in the Hatch.
OK, Rick is in the Hatch.
391
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,680
I guess I'll probably go after
Colin, OK?
392
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,080
I don't think we should be
alone.
393
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:13,640
OK.
Yeah.
394
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,960
Yeah, that's a good call.
Yeah, I'm gonna go after.
395
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,320
Group of two, group of three.
That's yeah.
396
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,960
All right.
OK, I need both of you to make
397
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,600
fleeing or athletics checks and
see which one is better to see
398
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,520
if one of you outpaces the
other.
399
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,720
I only have one in athletics
remaining so.
400
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,480
Probably best to just roll that
straight and save that one for a
401
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,880
lucky day, yeah?
I spent a point to fleeing on
402
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,520
that we tied.
Mm hmm.
403
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,320
You're tied.
OK.
404
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,640
What's your overall fleeing
total?
405
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,640
6.
My athletics is 10.
406
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,000
That means Kearns is going to be
able to keep up with you.
407
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,960
Oh.
Well, you don't want me.
408
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,240
To, I don't know, curious what
would happen.
409
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,560
Don't sound disappointed, this
could save your life.
410
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,080
So you are just, I'm not saying
that they overcome you, but they
411
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,720
sort of keep up with you.
They're like sort of right
412
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,600
behind you as you run down this
corridor and you feel the entire
413
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,920
chamber begin to move underneath
your feet.
414
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,160
Promising.
Holy fuck, what is going on?
415
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,600
Kearns, as you look at it, you
have a better way to see what's
416
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,680
going on 'cause you didn't run
into the room.
417
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,840
Big stone cubes make up the
floor of this room.
418
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,960
It's.
Fucking trap, isn't it?
419
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,120
It's like they're a bunch of
cubes that are suspended there
420
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,800
without any mortar, and as Colin
steps on them he's sort of
421
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,040
standing on 2 cubes and they
begin to rotate forwards.
422
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,400
You've all played this level.
You start to lose your footing.
423
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,680
Call it I need you to make a
Difficulty 3 athletics check.
424
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,240
OK, and this is +1 or +2 since
I'm blasted.
425
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,680
Oh, let's double check that.
Well, I'm not sure I can spend
426
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,800
points on it either.
I actually believe that is the
427
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,200
case like.
Which means I should have lost
428
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,520
that last one outright.
Anyway.
429
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,200
I have failed my athletics by a
substantial margin.
430
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:10,840
OK, you begin to fall between
the crushing stones.
431
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,240
Dang.
First, you take damage from the
432
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,000
stones crushing you.
Oh no.
433
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,640
Seven damage.
Are you alive?
434
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,680
Yes, because death is not that
quick.
435
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,360
I know.
But where does health is okay?
436
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:30,880
I'm not even down.
Okay, okay.
437
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,360
Okay, if you drop everything in
your hands right now, you could
438
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:39,440
catch yourself from falling
beneath the stones.
439
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,200
And as you look down, you know
what?
440
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,440
I know it's kind of dark, so
maybe you shouldn't be able to
441
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:49,080
tell, but you see just spikes,
just so many spikes down there.
442
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,480
Well, the thing I have in my
hand happens to be my light
443
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,400
source, so I would see that,
wouldn't I?
444
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,640
You would see that, yeah, it
sort of falls down.
445
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:58,960
I also said what you should need
to drop what's in your hands,
446
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,960
but of course you only got one
of those at the moment.
447
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,960
Yeah.
Can I reach in and catch him?
448
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,800
You can, yes.
I would make him make some rolls
449
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,360
to try to escape, but with you
there you were able to pull him
450
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:15,760
back, no roll required.
Son of.
451
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,280
A gun.
Well, thanks for that, Cairns.
452
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,160
I don't know.
I don't know what got into me
453
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,720
there.
Well, back in Ethiopia I would
454
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,080
call it the fear of God.
Here, I don't even fucking know.
455
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,960
They got weird gods here and
into Ethiopia.
456
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,240
Maybe gods are just weird.
Yeah, I think so.
457
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,720
OK, so they are the three went
down the Hatch.
458
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,480
They were eaten.
Not that hatch, the Hatch we
459
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,200
peed on.
Do you want to go go find them
460
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,240
or do you want to proceed here?
Oh God, I I don't think I should
461
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,480
be in charge of decisions right
now.
462
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:58,280
Yeah, fair enough.
What's what all is there Game
463
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,160
master other than shifty rocks?
You see, it looks like there's
464
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,080
passages going to the left and
right a little ways down the
465
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,280
corridor and some stairs that
lead further down at the end of
466
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,440
the corridor.
OK, but we have to get past the
467
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,680
rocks to get to them.
The shifty stones, yes.
468
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,760
If you have Craft or mechanical
repair, they might be able to
469
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,120
give you a suggestion of what to
do.
470
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:20,480
I have both of those things all
right.
471
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,880
So you realize that the stones
seem to only go forward, at
472
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,200
least the ones that Colin was
on.
473
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,280
They don't shift in different
directions.
474
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,480
They only go in One Direction.
So if you were to, like, shimmy
475
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,920
yourself along the side of the
walls and not the center of the
476
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:44,280
cubes, you could, with a
athletics difficulty of two,
477
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,280
make your way down the hallway
without falling into the trap.
478
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,680
What are you saying Mr. Caine?
Are you up for a little ball
479
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,320
shimming?
I don't see why not.
480
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,600
Difficulty 2 would be what, 4
for you?
481
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,640
Three, but I can't spend points
5.
482
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,480
OK, there we go.
Why would you make that roll?
483
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,640
You're crazy.
Don't make that roll.
484
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,960
I mean, maybe you want to get
sucked into the trap, which is
485
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,800
fine.
I'm still blasted.
486
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:10,880
Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
You are crazy, of course.
487
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,120
I succeed as well.
All right.
488
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:19,560
You make your way carefully,
slowly down the hall, and you
489
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,720
reach the sort of intersection
and you see one leads to a dead
490
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,920
end and the other leads to some
dilapidated prison cells.
491
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,840
Let's see what's going on in
that chamber underneath the
492
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,520
altar.
You have landed in this chamber.
493
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,360
There are symbols all over the
walls.
494
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,000
There are two arms that have
fallen out of a slit that are
495
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,600
just sitting on the ground.
And you notice that the slits
496
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,920
lookout to the West, the north
and the South.
497
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,080
They do not lookout to the east.
Is Ghost Man's gun still there?
498
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,280
Ghost Man's gun is there.
It's a heavy pistol.
499
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,520
It's a revolver.
We'll pick up Ghost Man's heavy
500
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,280
pistol.
As you're getting his heavy
501
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:06,240
pistol, you also find nearby a
book that he seems to maybe have
502
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,040
been writing in a journal of
sorts.
503
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,080
Against the players better
judgement, Dr. Smalls will read.
504
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,960
Actually, no, JB, you can have
that I'm going after.
505
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,960
Yeah, I'll take that one.
You want to read it?
506
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,160
I do.
It's written in Spanish.
507
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,080
Perfect.
Fuck, does Rick Luke speak
508
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,920
Spanish?
Weirdly enough, no.
509
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,880
No, he speaks Spanish.
He loves Mexico.
510
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,120
He might be changing his mind on
that to be perfectly honest, but
511
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:31,840
he loves Mexico.
Formerly.
512
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,320
He's going to have to start
looking through it.
513
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,360
He's going to spend a point of
library use to read it quickly.
514
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,560
He is going to gain a point of
Cthulhu.
515
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,240
Bethos and Beverly lose a point
of sanity.
516
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,120
Good for you, Rick.
He really is part of the team,
517
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:49,360
isn't he?
Yeah, yeah, What I'm telling ya,
518
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,880
if JB dies, Rick's my backup
character.
519
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,880
Yeah, but it's gonna take him
some time to to digest what's in
520
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,600
there so you guys could look
around a little bit more like
521
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,720
the runes or anything else in
there before Rick starts
522
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,040
spouting horrible prophetic
shit.
523
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,600
Welcome to the lower.
Hole, Yeah.
524
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,240
JB, please don't die.
I'm gonna try my damnedest not
525
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,560
to.
For now, though, look around.
526
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,000
Yeah.
What does archaeology?
527
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:21,160
Archaeology is not giving you
too much outside of this is a
528
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,760
Mayan created thing.
Actually the thing it's giving
529
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:29,720
you is this appears to be
similar to like some of the the
530
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,160
symbols that you see on the
walls.
531
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:33,000
There's a billion symbols.
We'll get to some of the more
532
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,760
upsetting ones later.
This seems similar to a Mayan
533
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,440
observatory to like be looking
at the stars.
534
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,480
However, this is not how you
would look at the stars.
535
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,960
Like you're under a trapdoor
with only little slits that look
536
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,160
out.
Like you want to make it
537
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,520
observatory.
You just put at the top of the
538
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,400
pyramids.
You just look up at the stars.
539
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,040
The stars are all wrong.
I don't know.
540
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,200
Also, you notice that the whole
place is lined with a weird
541
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,880
Redstone.
Oh, that Minecraft info is
542
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,640
coming in handy now.
Yeah, chemistry probably
543
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,800
wouldn't let me recognize what
kind of stone it is.
544
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,120
No geology would.
I have it.
545
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,640
I have it.
Well, I have.
546
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,440
I have good news and bad news
about that.
547
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,480
You are absolutely sure that
this stone exists nowhere else
548
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,320
on Earth.
You've never seen anything like
549
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,480
it.
Cool.
550
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,560
It could maybe.
Huh, it might be a meteorite.
551
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,480
Also, the walls are covered in
glyphs.
552
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,520
Put it in your mouth, JB.
Stop.
553
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,920
I will put nothing in my mouth.
The wall.
554
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,920
He's going to put the wall in
his mouth.
555
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,240
No, just some of the rock.
The rock is the wall.
556
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,920
Lick it.
Yeah, somebody once put
557
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,240
something in my mouth and I've
been suffering the consequences
558
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,400
of that for this whole campaign.
Nothing goes in JB's mouth
559
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,240
except Kearns there.
You go.
560
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,360
Fair enough.
I was going to make a joke, but
561
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,760
you, you beat me to it.
I know my audience.
562
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,000
Welcome to Horny for Cthulhu.
Do you want to try to examine
563
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,880
the glyphs, or are we afraid of
looking at anything that looks
564
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,360
magical?
Little of both.
565
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,080
I mean, I do have a cold, so
maybe, maybe I can glean
566
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,760
something from the glyphs.
Yeah.
567
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,560
Hey there, remember our April
Fools episode where we were
568
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,600
horses?
In the interest of keeping our
569
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,440
already kind of jumbled feed
tidy and on topic, the second
570
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,240
part is going to be a free drop
on our Patriot.
571
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,760
Alternatively, you can check out
both parts on the Friendship
572
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,360
Factory feed where you'll hear
stuff like this.
573
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,200
Welcome back to the magical land
of Equestria.
574
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,440
Come on everybody, let's go to
the murder Forest.
575
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,320
How?
Why?
576
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,280
I don't care.
I guess I don't know if you're
577
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,840
built like a truck.
We're strong, but that doesn't
578
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,440
actually mean you're built.
I believe the expression is hung
579
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,960
like a horse.
Stop trying to give people with
580
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,120
your delicious.
Pony flesh have.
581
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,440
Fun editing that.
Is this a transparent ploy to
582
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,320
direct people to the Patreon or
our French show?
583
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,920
Maybe, Who's to say, but it's
still free either way over at
584
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,640
patreon.com/dread Tails.
So while these are made with
585
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,760
sort of mining glyphs, you
realize that this is not some
586
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,280
sort of Mayan language thing
that's going on.
587
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,760
This is not a story or a
narrative.
588
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,920
These are spells of protection.
Oh.
589
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,160
All of the wall is full of
spells of protection with a lot
590
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,720
of astronomical like symbols and
terminology.
591
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:36,280
You also note that on the floor
of this room and in fact on the
592
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,040
trapdoor, we got so busy pissing
on the trapdoor.
593
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:46,000
I did actually describe this.
That symbol of Gulk Shamal, the
594
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,600
sort of eye with the mouth and
the fangs on it.
595
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,720
The thing that you saw on the
top of the stellae back of the
596
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,040
stone statue that it sort of
broke it off and all that stuff
597
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:01,040
that is that was on the trapdoor
and described on the floor here
598
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,520
as well.
It's it's an observatory, but
599
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,640
not for this guy, Rick says,
muttering as he's reading the
600
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,440
notes.
It's, it's to let you view more,
601
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,080
to view everything before more
happens in this room.
602
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,080
We need to get the other players
back to this room because this
603
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,280
room might do some crazy shit
and the other players should try
604
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,560
to get back to it.
So we're gonna get back to those
605
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,800
other players.
I'm not saying that they have to
606
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,120
go back to it immediately
because there's some cool prison
607
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,160
cells they just found.
Now I'm gonna, I'm gonna go
608
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,400
fight the cat.
What?
609
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,080
The cat?
The mangy cat outside.
610
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,200
No.
Don't fight the mangy cat.
611
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,000
No, OK, fine.
Besides, I've got a plan.
612
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,200
Now that I know things I I have
a plan for the mangy cat.
613
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,760
OK, sure.
It's like my JB sense is
614
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,640
tingling.
I mean, JB is smart.
615
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,080
He'll probably figure something
out about that cat.
616
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,360
If not, I'll just shoot it.
Standing at the end of the
617
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:05,920
corridor in a prison cell is.
A guy with no arms.
618
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,720
No, it is not a dude with no
arms.
619
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,680
It is a dude with well his hair
is very shaggy at this point, is
620
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,760
growing long, and he also is
unshaven.
621
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,400
But you could tell that before
that he had a very large
622
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,440
mustache that has also continued
to grow.
623
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,320
Like compared to everything
else, everything has gotten
624
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,160
messier, but the mustache must
have been a lot busier as well.
625
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,200
Nietzsche.
Esposito.
626
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,120
Friedrich Nietzsche.
No, not necessarily.
627
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,920
Stalin.
Is it Stalin?
628
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,480
He did say mustache.
It is not Stalin.
629
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:45,320
He looks.
He is a European, but probably
630
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,480
Hispanic.
He might be or maybe just a
631
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,800
Spaniard.
It's a little hard to tell and
632
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,920
it's kind of dark in here.
And I feel like saying anything
633
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,560
more about how he looks to
describe a race to him is while
634
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,680
keeping in Lovecraft feels kind
of racist.
635
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,200
So and he he looks at you with
wild eyes.
636
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,760
I'm assuming we'll look at him
right back with this similar
637
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,239
kind of disposition.
Mania, yeah.
638
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,679
Hey, there's a fella there.
Fight him.
639
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,040
And he yells at Spanish Be gone,
devil me not.
640
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,960
Not again.
As you look at him, he is
641
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:23,600
wearing shreds of fine Spanish
attire, but old tiny Spanish
642
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,400
attire.
Oh, is he a specter?
643
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,880
Knight of Malta.
Do you say this in Spanish
644
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,360
'cause he's not gonna respond to
it unless it's in Spanish?
645
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,760
Of course, in Spanish I speak
that.
646
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,280
Yeah.
And German.
647
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,320
Not Malta.
My name is Francisco de Bella
648
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,880
Cazar.
It's that guy that that guy told
649
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,600
us about.
He did come back.
650
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,320
I do not know what you say.
This place where I am is not
651
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,679
where you are.
They touch, but they are far
652
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,199
apart.
This guy here is always night
653
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:59,440
and filled with strange orbs.
Do you know where I am?
654
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,800
Can I come back?
Sure thing friend, and I let him
655
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,840
out.
You open the prison cell and he
656
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:12,120
reaches forward and grasps on to
bars that are not there.
657
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,560
It says I still cannot escape.
Well, I tried.
658
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,840
Do I recognize the name?
It was previously mentioned the
659
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,840
name.
Della Vega's ancestor Oh.
660
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,800
The Conquistador.
Oh, this guy.
661
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,080
Not wearing a helmet, by the
way.
662
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,320
Not wearing a helmet.
He's got plot armor.
663
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,480
No, what I've been like his
helmet did this.
664
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,040
Did De la Vega have his helmet
in the in his house?
665
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,800
No, wait, it was a sword.
No, I remember saying cool.
666
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,880
So it could have been both.
Oh, it was a helmet and the
667
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:40,960
sword.
Yeah, sure, whatever.
668
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,440
Yeah, OK.
Oh yeah, your grandson has your
669
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,280
helmet and sword.
What?
670
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,280
You are not a proper Spaniard,
are you?
671
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,960
I sort of look down at myself
and back up at him.
672
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:54,880
How'd you guess?
I was adopted.
673
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,520
If you cannot help me escape,
you must flee this horrible
674
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,080
place.
My men are all gone.
675
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,760
They they are the lucky ones.
They are in heaven now.
676
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,720
Through ugly means, I'll never
be free of this place.
677
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,320
Well, we could try and help you
out.
678
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,200
What's a cult?
Give me mythos.
679
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,120
Meltskill.
Meltskill.
680
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,600
Physics might give you
something.
681
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,800
Oh, don't have that.
I have theology.
682
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,840
You if you're trying to talk
about theology, he says.
683
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:29,760
Their God is real.
It is not a true God, I think,
684
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,040
but it hungers for flesh and the
petty attention.
685
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,440
That's flattery.
What's their God look like?
686
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:43,920
It is a beast of 1 gigantic maw
filled with tongues and
687
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:49,320
sharpness like a frog.
It's the size of this pyramid.
688
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,200
Not our guy.
Let's go, Cairns.
689
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,240
Yeah, that doesn't sound like.
Our guy, huh?
690
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,680
He will never have me, you
damnable monster, He yells at
691
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,760
the ceiling.
It is petty.
692
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,760
Beware.
It is not worthy of praise, but
693
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,040
it thinks that it is.
Noted.
694
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,400
Yeah, that's.
All gods, good thing you're not
695
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,520
there.
This guy was a very devout
696
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,720
Catholic.
He's still kind of surprisingly.
697
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,880
Oh, Papist.
I should just note you're
698
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,080
looking at this guy right here.
There's also just a big old
699
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,520
lever to the left of the cell.
What's that do?
700
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,240
Crank.
Oh God.
701
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:33,040
You hear the floor start
rumbling in the trapped area
702
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:37,000
that you walked through earlier.
Maybe we won't have to she me
703
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,360
back.
Well, I guess that either that
704
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,600
disarmed the trap or made it
1000 times worse and there's
705
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,000
fire now.
Oh good, I've been jonesing for
706
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,920
a smoke.
Oh, you can have one of my oh, I
707
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,720
dropped it in the pit.
That's OK, I give him a
708
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:53,760
cigarillo.
You must find a way out of this
709
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,160
place and if you could come to
where I am, take me with you.
710
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,000
How about we will try.
Can't really guarantee anything.
711
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,760
Some more hope that I've had.
There you go.
712
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,840
I give him a cigarillo too.
It doesn't.
713
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,400
Work.
No.
714
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,440
No, you know what it does there?
You.
715
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,920
Go weirdly, it does.
It's sort of like shimmers a
716
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,840
little bit and he takes it and
he takes the smoke.
717
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,440
Fortunately, you can't light it
for him that didn't.
718
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:21,960
Work.
Yeah.
719
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,080
He tries to take a smoke, and he
realizes, no, there's no fire.
720
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,440
All right, I think we're done
with this guy.
721
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,040
Unless you have any other ideas.
Nah.
722
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,920
Always more ideas, usually not
helpful.
723
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,400
No.
What's going on with the trap?
724
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,320
Though as you look, you see that
the cubes have locked into place
725
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,240
all right, it is safe to cross
now.
726
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,960
Awesome.
Well, should we check out the
727
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,640
other way or head back to the
Hatch?
728
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,360
Wasn't the other way a dead end?
There's a dead end, but then
729
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,480
there's also something that
leads to stairs that go further
730
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,360
down, but those would go even
further down, like for a ways,
731
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,880
and take a long time going down
there.
732
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,120
And maybe it would be more
interesting if you joined up
733
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,680
with the rest of the crew.
For AI, can't imagine that's the
734
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:03,800
case.
Down the stairs we go.
735
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,520
Do do do do.
No, hang on, hang on.
736
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,960
Something's telling me that
would be more interesting for
737
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,640
the plot if we joined back with
the crew.
738
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,400
All right, well for the plot
then.
739
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,240
Yeah, JB is rubbing off on me.
Meanwhile, back there, Rick is
740
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:23,480
saying, no, I, there's a there's
a way to do this, he says as he
741
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,160
starts looking around, touching
some of the ruins and muttering
742
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,440
to himself.
There's a, there's a path.
743
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,520
Mr. Luke, what are you trying to
do?
744
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:43,600
This observatory is a vehicle.
It's on a track and this is a
745
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,280
way to navigate the track, I
think.
746
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,840
What do I do?
What do I do?
747
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,240
Are we talking about tracks?
I know about trains.
748
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,800
As you guys drop in.
Oh, is this like Stargate with
749
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,280
flying pyramids?
Nothing.
750
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,560
The host survives and all that.
I would prefer to be lex.
751
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,320
What?
The giant flying penis.
752
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,160
Galactica all.
Right, it was supposed to be a
753
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,600
dragonfly.
Rick is now muttering something
754
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,160
and carving numbers into the
ground.
755
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:17,720
It's like, yes, yes, I see it, I
see it and the whole chamber
756
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,080
begins to rumble.
Can I help him out with
757
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,120
accounting?
Yes.
758
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,760
No, actually you need physics or
astronomy.
759
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:30,080
I have astronomy.
I might as.
760
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,000
Well, I have physics.
Great.
761
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,320
His stability, his stability
check will be less difficult.
762
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,720
OK, that's good.
Are you casting a spell?
763
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,400
Oh, he's casting a spell.
Wait.
764
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,160
What are you trying to do?
Physics.
765
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,680
And astronomy.
This sounds like a spell we're
766
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,320
familiar with.
Yeah, this is the this is a
767
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,560
spell we know.
We're coming for you, Reggie.
768
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,640
Oh boy, no.
Well, Yolo it is I guess.
769
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,240
And in an instant, a hole does
not open up in reality for you
770
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:02,760
to teleport somewhere with some
sort of hyperspace gate.
771
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,840
However, the chamber itself
begins to rumble and move.
772
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,760
Rick, he's not quite sure how
the spell works.
773
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,800
So the first time we're going to
roll AD 6 to figure out where
774
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,040
you end up.
You know what?
775
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,320
I'll let one of you roll the D6.
Who wants to roll AD?
776
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:17,440
Six.
I'll roll it.
777
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:23,000
I'm feeling but I rolled A1.
OK, that's either really good or
778
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,240
really bad.
Could just be a list of
779
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:26,840
locations.
Are we in hell?
780
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,440
Dan's gone quiet, so I'm real
scared.
781
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,080
It'd be hilarious if we just
didn't move.
782
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,360
I I have chosen the form of our
destroyer Dan.
783
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:40,560
You are given a glimpse of
something through the slits
784
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,480
here.
It is not the jungle that you
785
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,720
were on before.
Would you like to look through
786
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:47,480
the slits to understand where
you are?
787
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,400
Yes.
OK, Yeah.
788
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,240
Nah.
Yeah, I know your your stability
789
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:58,560
is pretty bad.
You look out and see.
790
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
I swear to God if we see like as
a Thoth.
791
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:10,400
A ruined version of Chichen Zhu.
But the sky is dominated by a
792
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,960
cloudy brown planet and it's
roiling with storms.
793
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:21,000
Craters pock the earth.
Ash seems to have taken over
794
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,240
most everything.
Everything is covered in a layer
795
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:27,840
of ash.
The foliage is blood red.
796
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,520
You do not appear to be on Earth
anymore.
797
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,720
Looking out the West, is the
frog leopard thing still there?
798
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,400
No, Something worse.
Oh boy.
799
00:42:41,240 --> 00:42:42,120
Oh.
Fun.
800
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,400
Something lies half buried in
the ashes.
801
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:51,520
You realize that its mouth is
giving off steam in the cold.
802
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,440
Oh no, it's Jeffrey.
Stop.
803
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,480
I don't know what that means.
No worm.
804
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,360
Yes, you do.
I did forget about that,
805
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,480
actually.
It's related to Jeffrey,
806
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,320
actually.
It actually.
807
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:09,480
Is.
You actually see some Jeffrey
808
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:14,480
worms tunneling around in.
Ash No, we're in Beetlejuice.
809
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,360
Does that mean they're in
Jeffrey's tubes?
810
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:24,040
But what is worse is the fatty
frog like thing with too many
811
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,240
tails gathered under its
tattered black wings.
812
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,360
Now that may remind you a little
bit of the thing that you saw
813
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:38,280
before, but this one, as it
shakes and moves out of the ash,
814
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,720
it stands up and it is taller
than the pyramid that you are
815
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:46,720
in.
It looks to be their God.
816
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,880
It is slurping up ashes and
bones with its serpent headed
817
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,760
tongues.
Smaller versions of the same
818
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,040
creature cling to its body like
suckling bats.
819
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,120
You were going to need to make a
hell of a stability test because
820
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:07,920
it opens its eyes and looks
through the slot and knows that
821
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,800
you are there.
I'm not going to give you the
822
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,800
damage because we're going to
see you have to roll against the
823
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,960
worst thing that happens and
that might be worse after this
824
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,800
conversation occurs.
Oh, oh, fun.
825
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,120
Colin, of course, did not look
outside, is not aware any of
826
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,880
this is happening, is licking
the wall.
827
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,920
OK, you do that shit.
Am I looking outside?
828
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,680
It doesn't matter.
It looks at all of you.
829
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,200
Yeah, fair enough.
And you find yourself how to
830
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,360
describe this.
This is truly like nothing any
831
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:50,080
mortal has ever experienced.
You are communicated with
832
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:55,320
through visions by a Titanic God
like monster.
833
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,320
It's kind of a big deal.
Yeah, very much.
834
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:03,680
Count yourself lucky and you
hear a voice, loud but almost
835
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:14,320
amused, in all of your heads.
JB what's the worst thing you've
836
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,520
ever done?
The absolute worst, most heinous
837
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,240
evil thing that you have ever
done.
838
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:24,320
JB remembers.
He was like 16.
839
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:31,600
Yeah, around there.
His, his mom was really sick,
840
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:37,960
had been for a while, right?
So as she lay there suffering,
841
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:45,160
the camera just kind of lasts on
JB grabbing a pillow and fades.
842
00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:48,080
No, it doesn't.
It doesn't fade, JB.
843
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:51,080
You wanted to fucking fade.
What do you think this is?
844
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:56,000
You feel every moment of it.
You remember every little bit of
845
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,240
killing the woman who gave birth
to you.
846
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,320
And you know what?
Everyone else in this room feels
847
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,440
the exact same thing that you're
feeling.
848
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,960
They feel what the pillow felt
like.
849
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:11,880
They hear the the muffled sleep
flying.
850
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:15,320
Blood.
Scratched me on the cheek.
851
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,120
It healed eventually.
Colin, what's the worst thing
852
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,120
you ever did?
Through a haze of gin fumes and
853
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,640
repression, my last memory of
Tom focuses for the first time.
854
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,880
I started celebrating him,
finally passing the exam for his
855
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,720
investigator's license a little
early, but he failed again.
856
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:39,480
I missed it.
Or, well, it wasn't clear at the
857
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,040
time.
Nothing is when you're that deep
858
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,720
in the sauce, you're good for
nothing.
859
00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:49,320
Bomb, bomb sauce there, we're
going to mount to anything.
860
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,040
He starts to stammer, reply, and
I shove him.
861
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,880
He falls, we both fall.
By the time I make it back to my
862
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,400
feet, he's gone, and I slink
back to the smoky mirror for
863
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,600
more gin.
You killed your friend, you know
864
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,720
it Curtains.
What's the worst thing you ever
865
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:11,880
did?
It was the most vicious dogfight
866
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,440
I've ever been in.
Two Jerry's against one of me,
867
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:19,000
zippings, getting machines,
screaming.
868
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,400
We wounded animals.
I came out on top and made both
869
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,680
of them catapult and that should
have been it.
870
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,160
They were done.
I should have just looped around
871
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,000
and headed to the base.
But as I watched their
872
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:40,520
parachutes open, I imagine them
returning home, maybe getting a
873
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,840
slap on the wrist and then a new
machine to bomb American
874
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,640
trenches with.
I imagine going up against an
875
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,800
albatross and seeing their ugly
faces in the crosshairs again,
876
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,880
Small bits of what 30 seconds
ago was a human being sticking
877
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:04,520
to my windshield like bugs on
the highway, tatters of their
878
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,480
parachutes sailing to the ground
like right bottom leaves.
879
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,720
There was nothing left to bury,
so they never left.
880
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,520
I've been haunting my knit nurse
for 20 years.
881
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:20,880
At least until recently.
When?
882
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,480
You feel that moment again and
again and again.
883
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,360
Everyone else here feels it as
well.
884
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,920
Smalls, what's the worst thing
you ever did?
885
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:37,880
Excuse me, Doctor Smalls.
It was the last year of
886
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:45,640
university before Smalls got his
doctor the final dissertation
887
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,080
that he had to do.
He.
888
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:54,000
Stole the work.
Essentially plagiarized the from
889
00:48:54,080 --> 00:49:01,280
his biggest rival in school.
Not only that, but he set them
890
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:08,880
up to be arrested for some crime
he doesn't even remember what,
891
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:16,440
but the last thing he remembers
was that this person, because of
892
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:24,200
Smalls's own breed and ambition,
ended up spending the rest of
893
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:30,680
their natural life behind bars.
You say you don't remember now.
894
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,920
You remember you accused him of
having mob ties.
895
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,640
You remember every bit of it.
You were not getting away with,
896
00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:39,160
oh, I don't remember anymore.
You remember.
897
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,760
You remember how you destroyed
this person's life and took
898
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,800
their life work and took it for
yourself.
899
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:49,080
And Rick, you see him running
through the jungle and somebody
900
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:55,800
shouting for help and he is just
running, running away from
901
00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:00,000
everybody that he let die.
He doesn't know what killed
902
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,120
them.
Was it the animals?
903
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,360
Was it the bandits?
Was it the quicksand?
904
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,960
But he made it out alive.
Wait, is it just me or is Rick
905
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,040
seeing into the future?
You have all seen each other's
906
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:16,280
most horrible things.
And also when you say that, and
907
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,560
I don't care if that's a meta
thing or not, because this thing
908
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,080
that's speaking to you is beyond
that.
909
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,480
It screams in your head a
deafening challenge.
910
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,960
You are realizing now, and I
want to put this very clear,
911
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:37,560
this horrible God thing is in
your head and it is petty and
912
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:43,040
vindictive.
Be very, very careful what you
913
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:47,360
say and do going forward.
I want to make that very clear.
914
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:50,360
We are in a very dangerous
situation.
915
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,880
I don't want anybody saying,
Daniel, what the hell?
916
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,160
Why did this thing happen to my
character?
917
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,120
This is the most dangerous
situation you have ever been in.
918
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:07,000
Anyway, you get the feeling that
this thing has held you up to a
919
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:13,760
light to examine you closely,
and it feels satisfied and you
920
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:19,600
hear a voice in your head and it
sounds like, well, first it
921
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,200
sounds like Winston Rogers.
So you found me.
922
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:33,200
What?
The truth of the liar from
923
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,560
beyond.
And a way to end it.
924
00:51:36,240 --> 00:51:40,200
You're sitting in a theatre.
Broadway show lights up on
925
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,440
stage.
You're all sitting in the front
926
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:47,160
row and there is a thing on
stage.
927
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,600
It's this thing that's speaking
to you, this toad.
928
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,280
Thing.
But as you look closer, you
929
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:59,520
realize it's holding a mask of
itself.
930
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:05,040
And the mask slips for just a
moment, and you see beyond it.
931
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:09,920
A thing of horrible mouths and
nectar.
932
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:15,960
And then there's another mask,
this one squid face with
933
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,280
tentacles.
And now there are worshippers
934
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:24,160
bowing down to this thing with
tentacles on its face.
935
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:29,440
If you have the Cthulhu Mythos,
this is the guy, the titular
936
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,720
guy, Cthulhu.
There are those that worship it,
937
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:36,640
but the mask slips.
And again, behind it you see
938
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,440
this thing with 1000 mouths, the
liar from beyond.
939
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:45,960
You see a new mask, this one of
a black pharaoh.
940
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,360
They are worshipping it.
But again, it is a mask.
941
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,040
Behind it is the thing with 1000
mouths.
942
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,600
The liar from beyond.
Do you see?
943
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:03,240
Says Winston Rogers, who is now
sitting next to you in the
944
00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:06,120
audience.
Do you understand?
945
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,800
I'm just slack jog because I do
not understand.
946
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,400
I don't have the brains for this
methos stuff so I'm just frozen
947
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,920
gaping at it A.
Liar wears many masks to keep
948
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:23,680
itself safe.
Yes, it is the defiler.
949
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,440
As this is happening, the
Winston Rogers is becoming more
950
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:42,240
and more evil sounding, of
course.
951
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,480
It clicked with me like 30
seconds before you said that,
952
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,320
and I finally realized, wait a
minute, that's what we've been
953
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:55,160
dealing with this whole time.
The Defiler, Lovecraftian God of
954
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,080
carnal evil.
Well, it fits the bill, yeah.
955
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,640
That was the most tasteful way I
could think of to put it.
956
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,720
Oh, I see.
What's a less tasteful way?
957
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,040
All of you who keep making
jokes, your brains begin to
958
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,080
shake.
I must stress I am taking this
959
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:24,040
completely seriously.
It says as the Winston Rogers
960
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:30,160
begins to float upwards and also
turn into the symbol of this
961
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:47,160
being.
We intend, Roy, that would be a
962
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:51,600
great boon to you.
Not.
963
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,840
No, I learned a spell from this
wet book.
964
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:11,920
Shut.
Russell.
965
00:55:16,240 --> 00:55:19,280
Creepy old man.
You see, the creepy old man is
966
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,240
on stage.
It is a task.
967
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,520
Behind it is Yolganach.
Well, shit.
968
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,520
This is kind of why we're here,
Mighty One, we.
969
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,840
Came here hoping to learn how to
destroy it.
970
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,760
Yeah, OK.
Yeah, of course, Collinwood.
971
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,120
Yeah, of course, Collinwood.
I was about, I was about to ask
972
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,880
what does that entail?
Like how?
973
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,520
Yeah, I don't question it.
God, just get with the program.
974
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,920
And just it, right, right.
Assess honesty.
975
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:32,520
It doesn't fucking work.
Yeah, that tracks.
976
00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:37,600
You feel the spell fly into your
head.
977
00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:41,200
Now learn the spell Summon
aspect of Golgaroth.
978
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,000
And you know what?
While you're at it, you also get
979
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,440
the Hyperspace Skate spell.
OK, Yeah.
980
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,720
I'm assuming it's just column
that gets the OR everybody.
981
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,920
Everybody who's open to it.
You know what, honestly, before
982
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,680
Russell jumped in and said
something I was going to offer
983
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,000
myself so.
Why not?
984
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,160
You learn it too, yeah.
All right, Yeah, I suppose it's
985
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,240
mechanically better if two
people know that.
986
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'm glad it's not me or JB
987
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:09,880
though.
Yes.
988
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:19,360
Don't kill off the gays, please.
No, of course not.
989
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,640
And Rick's voice chimes in.
Oh God, Rick.
990
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,320
And he says what happens when
you come?
991
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,480
Will you stay?
And Rick's head explodes.
992
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:37,480
I was about to ask that.
Yeah, I was too, actually.
993
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,240
So thank you.
Damn it.
994
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,200
I should have let one of your
heads explode.
995
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,240
It would have been awesome.
OK.
996
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,040
Don't think about birds.
Don't think about birds.
997
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,440
Safe passage.
That is, that is a very good
998
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:58,520
point.
Yes, please.
999
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:06,880
Save passage back to our plane,
not assailed by the creature in
1000
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:10,120
the forest or any of your
followers here.
1001
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:14,360
So we can enact.
So that the so that we can.
1002
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:15,760
The plan?
Yes.
1003
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:32,480
Thank you.
Understood.
1004
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,720
Thank you.
You don't get a chance to say
1005
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:38,960
that as you are hurled back into
the observatory.
1006
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,560
You find yourself all there
except for a dead Luke on the
1007
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,960
ground with no head.
OK, now that we're out of that,
1008
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,000
I guess he wasn't an eternal guy
after all.
1009
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,480
Chucks.
All right, stability checks,
1010
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,720
stability checks.
As the entire chamber begins to
1011
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,760
shake and you're going to be
thrown to the next location on
1012
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:03,000
the path of the observatory,
it's time to make some checks.
1013
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:04,560
For talking.
To a God.
1014
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,360
So like difficulty six loss of
infinite.
1015
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,960
Well.
More like difficulty 16.
1016
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:20,120
It's an 8 point stability test.
Difficulty. 4.
1017
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,400
No, that's not too bad.
Oh, wait, no, I'm sorry.
1018
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:23,480
It's five of.
Course.
1019
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,360
It's a 60 and I can't spend
points.
1020
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,240
I'm just gonna spend 4
stability.
1021
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,200
Can you?
You can spend into negative
1022
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,280
stability, right?
You can, yes.
1023
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,520
I am going to also spend 4
stability.
1024
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,480
Going in there, you are going to
lose sanity for reaching
1025
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:43,080
negative stability from this
encounter, but you know, that's
1026
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,320
just how that goes.
I reached negative stability
1027
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:48,760
from the cat.
Do I lose the of sanity or no?
1028
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:54,120
Actually, yes, because that is
an aspect of SO. 3 Sanity.
1029
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,680
I'm at 8.
And -2 stability.
1030
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:00,000
All right.
Are we rolling?
1031
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,840
Did anybody roll or are you all
spending points to not have to
1032
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:03,880
roll?
Is that what's happening?
1033
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,120
Here I would very much like to
spend a point because I need to
1034
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:10,680
roll A6 to pass this and if I go
down 8 that puts me in -16
1035
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:11,560
please.
Don't do that.
1036
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,360
Which is dead.
You're dead. 15 Sorry.
1037
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,200
Yeah, that's go out in a blaze.
That's.
1038
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,560
Dead right?
Parrot hurry right there.
1039
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:20,800
Let me check.
You might be able to spend it
1040
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,320
even when you're blasted.
Let me let me double check.
1041
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,520
OK, I have so many stupid things
left to do.
1042
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:30,720
Yeah, like kill a God.
I'm going to summon them and
1043
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:32,400
make them fight.
Like Pok��mon?
1044
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:39,000
Yeah, Golgorath, I choose you.
What's your drive, Colin?
1045
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:39,960
Bad.
Luck.
1046
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,240
What was the difficulty again?
5.
1047
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,120
OK, I passed.
I spent 3 points.
1048
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:50,040
By the skinnier fucking teeth.
You might be fucked.
1049
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,840
Unless I roll A6.
You could roll A6.
1050
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:54,000
I'm just trying to look through
here.
1051
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,880
There's God, I don't know if
there's AI.
1052
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:56,880
Think you're in trouble.
Yeah.
1053
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:01,360
Can you please keep him alive?
I want to.
1054
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:02,920
I want to see he.
Won't be dead.
1055
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,760
He won't be dead.
Just incurably insane.
1056
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,320
But he'll be out.
I don't want him out.
1057
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:11,400
And Rick Luke's head just
exploded.
1058
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,400
OK, here's what is going to
work.
1059
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,520
Now.
We have rarely used our drives
1060
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,280
in this game.
We probably should have been
1061
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,560
using our drives.
You could declare that you're
1062
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:27,600
using one of your drives to gain
a little bit of stability back.
1063
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:33,120
However, your drive is bad luck,
and bad luck is not something
1064
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:34,880
you choose.
It's something that I choose.
1065
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:39,800
And my friend, you have had some
bad luck recently.
1066
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,560
Yeah, sometimes I make it
myself.
1067
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:47,560
Ain't that the God's truth?
Therefore, I will give you some
1068
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:52,800
stability from following your
drive of bad luck.
1069
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,480
Fair enough.
Gain 2 stability points all.
1070
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,080
Right, put me in -5.
So you.
1071
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:02,040
Can spend OK, I will spend 3
points which will push me into
1072
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,040
blasted then yeah.
Oh my God.
1073
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:12,680
Oh my God. 634360 My God.
Yes, Now here's the thing my
1074
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,280
friend, we're going to be giving
you a mental illness from this.
1075
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:26,240
This is that's great beggars.
And also, look, we all know that
1076
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,440
Lovecraft.
For care.
1077
01:02:57,390 --> 01:03:04,110
Mr. Caine, I wanted to continue
our conversations that we were
1078
01:03:04,110 --> 01:03:08,350
having.
Can you tell me what's the last
1079
01:03:08,350 --> 01:03:31,480
thing you remember?
Thanks for listening.
1080
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,240
Daniel is our GM, Renee plays
Franklin Kearns, Damien plays
1081
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,360
Donovan Smalls, Nathan plays JB
Falk, and Russell plays Colin
1082
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:40,760
Kane, in addition to mixing,
mastering and music in the
1083
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,280
episodes.
Our album art is by Trinity the
1084
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,560
Tea Time Witch, and our main
theme is by Claire LW.
1085
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,560
We have a Patreon at
patreon.com/dread Tails and we
1086
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:50,320
do a live stream the last Sunday
of the month.
1087
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,080
You can find links to these and
other things on the link tree in
1088
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,120
the show notes.
Again, thanks for listening and
1089
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:58,280
until next time.
JB killed his fucking mom.
1090
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:02,280
Dan put me on the spot.
What was that bullshit about
1091
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:03,280
library books?
