Please check the episode

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:19,480
warnings.
Last time on Eternal lies in a

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,400
desperate scramble up the
pyramid of the Sorcerers, our

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,720
intrepid investigators managed
to escape a brief altercation

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,880
with an imprisoned person
through the delicate application

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,040
of extreme violence.
Once atop the circling

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,240
structure, the boys pulled their
wits to open a secret hatch

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,400
before Colin, mind shaken, went
careening off in a different

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,000
direction.
Saved from certain death by

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,640
Frank Kerns, the pair continued
meeting Francisco's ancestor

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,600
before regrouping with Smalls
and Falk in what turned out to

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,960
be some sort of mystical control
room.

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,320
Though contact was briefly lost
and we may never know what

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,760
horrors they found, we rejoin
them now at Joy Grows

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,680
Sanitarium.
The day is cast the back to

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,280
sealed.
May God have mercy on our souls.

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:16,360
It's Daniel's dread tales.
Our brains.

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,800
Have just exploded a little bit
too find out some stuff about

21
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:31,400
each other.
Yeah, Colin.

22
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,800
Hello.
You awaken in an unfamiliar

23
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:43,560
room.
The walls are padded, you are

24
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,600
locked inside.
Well, I always knew I would come

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,960
to this eventually.
You've been awoken by a small

26
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:57,360
knock at your door, a voice on
the other side says Mr. Caine,

27
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
and it sounds vaguely familiar.
Well, come in then.

28
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,640
The door's open.
Are you feeling up to another

29
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,200
conversation, Mr. Caine?
I suppose so.

30
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:21,680
The door to your cell opens and
in walks Doctor Keaton, who you

31
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,000
remember as one of the doctors
work Joy Grove Insane Asylum in

32
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,920
Savannah, GA.
Yeah, Doctor Keaton, it's a

33
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,640
pleasure.
You see, you see, very different

34
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:35,720
today.
He's carrying in a pair of

35
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,840
chairs what in each hand, and he
sets one down near you and sets

36
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,480
one down that he sits in.
I'll sit in the chair.

37
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,800
Well, I I can only do crisscross
applesauce for so long before my

38
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,400
legs start to hurt.
I understand that when you first

39
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,680
arrived you were having
difficulties, but you seem more

40
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,960
lucid today.
It's what the nurses said.

41
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,640
I wanted to continue our
conversations that we were

42
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,120
having.
Can you tell me what's the last

43
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,080
thing you remember?
There was a temple in the

44
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,440
Yucatan Chichen Zul Chichen
Jewel.

45
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,640
He gives a little MMM sound and
he also pulls out a notebook and

46
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:26,280
begins to write.
Do you know how?

47
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,720
How do?
You spell that?

48
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:35,000
Oh, I have no idea my friend.
OK, chicken zoo.

49
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,400
You said chicken zoo.
Close enough.

50
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,120
Chicken Zoo, OK.
Yeah, so I was at the chicken

51
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,560
zoo and I talked to a God there.
You talk to God.

52
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,080
No, not God.
A God.

53
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Oh, oh, are you not?
I'm sorry, I just assumed

54
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,120
assumptions makes me.
An ass.

55
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,080
You know what they say, making
assumptions makes an ass out of

56
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,680
you and mumptions.
Well a little little joke.

57
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:22,000
What was this God if it's not
the Yahweh or Allah or such that

58
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,480
is normally venerated?
That was a big frog sort of

59
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:32,520
deal.
Goal cooks goldsmall something.

60
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:39,000
Like that mall, Goal mall.
OK, goal mall.

61
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,240
All right.
Now, is this any relation to the

62
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,720
the things Mr. Job spoke about?
He said that they worshipped a.

63
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,720
Let me see here.
He looks back at his thing, or

64
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,040
at least earlier in his
sessions, he spoke about a liar

65
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,160
from beyond.
Is this Golmaal?

66
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,800
The this liar from beyond?
Oh no, it's sort of the

67
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,000
opposite.
The Liar from Beyond is

68
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,200
masquerading as Golmaal.
I'm sorry, what is that?

69
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:16,120
That seems so.
The liar is pretending.

70
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,840
Is that right?
Well, yeah, it's kind of in the

71
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:25,280
name.
That I suppose I should listen

72
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,200
to the name.
OK, threatening to be goal mall.

73
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:37,920
All right.
And well, that's that's

74
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,080
interesting.
And so you met this God.

75
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,920
Is that the where?
Where did you meet this God?

76
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,080
Oh, hard to say actually.
We went into the temple and then

77
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,600
to travel through space and time
to a distant realm that I was

78
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,520
unfamiliar.
With it's very hard for him to

79
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,200
hide his excitement at these
crazy delusions that you're

80
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,800
saying.
You know, now that I think of

81
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,960
it, it might not have been
Golmaal, it might have been

82
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:08,200
ours, it might have been Gormo.
Gormo, OK Gormal.

83
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,600
Gormal.
Gormal.

84
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,480
You know that sounds about
right.

85
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,080
MO Mall.
OK, all right, he is scratching

86
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,160
something out.
I don't know if it's picking up,

87
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,600
but I'm actually literally
taking notes on a notebook right

88
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,480
here of like the bullshit that
you're saying.

89
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:34,720
Just chicken zoo at the top.
OK, so you travelled to another

90
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,760
dimension to meet this Gorbo
mall and then then what

91
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,880
happened?
Well, me and my companions, we

92
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,440
each saw her deepest, darkest
secrets sort of shared amongst

93
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,440
the group.
Also, Rick Luke was there.

94
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,040
We saw him running from somebody
or whatever that he left to die

95
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,120
and his head exploded shortly
after.

96
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,360
I don't know if I've heard this
name, Rick Luke and his head

97
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,600
exploded.
Now, you when you were brought

98
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,360
in, some of you had firearms
that were confiscated from you.

99
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,080
Are you the ones who attacked
Mr. Luke?

100
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,880
Was he one of the liars?
Oh no, I think what happened is

101
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,080
he questioned Garmomal and was
what's, what's a good way of

102
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:32,280
putting this swiftly dealt with?
And you didn't serve as

103
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,120
executioner, did you?
Oh, of course not.

104
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,120
That would be inhumane.
Oh, OK.

105
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:44,360
So you're not not killer?
I think if we were ever going to

106
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,360
pick someone to be the
executioner, it'd be Frank

107
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,560
Kearns.
He'd do a bang up job of it.

108
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,840
You know what, I'll have to
speak with Mr. Kearns at our

109
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,240
next meeting.
Maybe as I see that you're

110
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,160
starting to recover, maybe we
could have a group session.

111
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,560
We could break the all of these
things down.

112
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,800
Oh, absolutely.
I don't say why not.

113
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,640
Yes.
And then after you, after this

114
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,840
Luke Fellows Head, you said
exploded.

115
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,880
Yep.
No birds though.

116
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:21,320
Right, no birds.
Question mark.

117
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,560
What do you remember happening
next?

118
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,760
Not much.
That's about where my memory

119
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,400
conks out.
The temple is beginning to

120
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,600
rumble.
Golgoroth has left.

121
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,640
His presence is gone.
Your group is sitting there with

122
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,920
yourselves at the corpse of Rick
Luke sitting there.

123
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:49,560
She's gonna blow everybody out,
Everybody out.

124
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,880
Time to go.
As you look outside the little

125
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,840
slits you recall, maybe you
forgot when you were traveling

126
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,760
before, you are seeing a blasted
landscape.

127
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,800
Not not even a blasted
landscape, so much as a a

128
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,120
completely alien landscape with
strange stars in the sky,

129
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:17,560
including a mood of sorts.
And there's strange trees.

130
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,480
You're not sure if you left this
temple at the moment it would be

131
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,800
safe.
Yeah, that tracks.

132
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,040
OK.
It's not safe in here, is it or?

133
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,800
I mean, Golgoroth is gone,
right?

134
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,440
Didn't Golgoroth say they were
gonna send them back?

135
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,960
Yeah, doesn't.
Keep me, send us back.

136
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,320
OK, so is it rumbling because
it's travelling or is it

137
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,040
rumbling because she's going to
blow?

138
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,240
Your stomach like, sort of drops
away.

139
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,120
Not literally, but you all feel
as if something incredible has

140
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,040
happened and your entire body
sort of jerks.

141
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,920
After the temple stops shaking,
you find yourself somewhere

142
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,120
else.
It looks like outside.

143
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,400
It doesn't look like outside.
Now I know that's a weird thing

144
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:23,520
to say, but it it's space.
When you look outside, you see

145
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:29,760
gases and weightless rocks and
dust floating in space.

146
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:35,760
I don't think this is our storm.
Does it look like our solar

147
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,920
system like as we in the 30s
know it?

148
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,560
Who has astronomy skill?
Oh shit, I do.

149
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:51,280
OK, I do.
So you look up and you recall,

150
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,560
do you maybe looking up right
before the things moved,

151
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,920
whatever that place was that you
were before, where you met

152
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:05,480
Golgaroth, that was not in your
solar system.

153
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,560
The stars did not look right at
all.

154
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:15,360
And as you now look up again it,
you appear to be in more or less

155
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:21,800
the same place, but there is no
planet for you to be on.

156
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:27,440
OK, so the stars are familiar,
but the Earth's not there.

157
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,440
What's everybody's stability at
3?

158
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,120
Good.
Question. -8. -2.

159
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,200
OK.
Sorry, it looks like your

160
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,320
session has expired.
Please exit the game and log

161
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,160
back in I.
Was going to say, are you going

162
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:50,240
to start hitting us with eternal
darkness, Scarecrow, nightmare,

163
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,280
4th wall sanity effects?
Everyone needs to make a

164
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,200
difficulty 3 potential loss of
four stability test come.

165
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,360
On You Make me roll, I'm drawing
an insane Colin.

166
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,280
A stinky, insane Colin.
I pass.

167
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,160
That's a one.
I am dead.

168
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,880
I rolled A6.
I could have sworn that Colin

169
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,880
was unconscious.
Yeah, you fainted.

170
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,120
Yeah, you could.
Seriously.

171
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:25,080
Rolled A1.
OK, Colin, I think you might

172
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,000
have passed out.
OK.

173
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:34,080
Yeah.
Oh, Renee, that's that's a role.

174
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,320
Huh.
I failed to.

175
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,920
OK, lose some stability.
After I'm done drawing.

176
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,480
Nathan.
That's me.

177
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,520
You awaken lying in bed.
It's not a bed you've ever been

178
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,160
in before, and the ceiling is
not a ceiling that you

179
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,080
recognize.
Well, maybe it's a ceiling you

180
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,320
recognize if you remember Joy
Grove Sanitarium.

181
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,160
Did go there with the rest of
everyone, didn't I?

182
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,120
You did?
Yeah.

183
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,640
You went there.
OK, Yeah.

184
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Yeah, Kearns didn't go there,
and neither did Doctor Smalls,

185
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,280
but.
Right.

186
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,200
Damien was someone else back
then.

187
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:19,320
Yes, you hear a little knock on
a door nearby.

188
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,320
You realize that you are in a
small room and in fact it is

189
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,360
divided up with a little
observation window for you to

190
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,920
speak to somebody.
A man has opened the door.

191
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,160
The knock was merrily
perfunctory.

192
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:43,320
And he says, good morning, Mr.
Falk, how are we feeling today?

193
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:50,200
Unwell.
I that may be the case.

194
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,600
You do seem to be significantly
more lucid today, however.

195
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,400
That's great.
Could you tell me how I got

196
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,440
here?
Oh, do you not?

197
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,040
Do you not remember?
You were brought in, You were

198
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,240
institutionalized by.
They said that they were a

199
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,280
friend of yours.
A woman brought you in, you and

200
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,040
your companions.
They said that you had all seen

201
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,200
something horrible, suffered
some sort of mental break and

202
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,640
that this would be a safe place
for you to recover it.

203
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:27,440
This woman, what's her name?
Esperanza was the one who

204
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,920
brought you in.
That was her name, Esperanza de

205
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,040
la Vega.
De la Vega, I see.

206
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,280
Do you recognize that name?
Do you?

207
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,320
Do you know Miss de la Vega?
Out of character.

208
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,560
You've not heard Esperanza
specifically.

209
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,240
You know the last name De la
Vega, but you don't know

210
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,760
Esperanza.
Yeah, just wanted to make sure.

211
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:57,160
I didn't know he had any family,
any living family.

212
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,040
I'm sorry, who had any living
family?

213
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,880
Francisco de la Vega was
someone.

214
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,800
I guess it doesn't matter.
How long have I been here?

215
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,120
You were brought in, let's see,
three weeks ago.

216
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,160
Oh my God.
I.

217
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,720
Now, who is this Francisco de la
Vega?

218
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,560
I don't think you've ever
mentioned this person before.

219
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Is he part of the You mentioned
something about a mouth and

220
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,000
nectar.
You kept saying that you needed

221
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,840
Nectar.
Well, I don't.

222
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,040
He raises an eyebrow to that.
I apologize.

223
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,000
This is all very confusing and
startling.

224
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,520
My friends, other people, Frank
Kearns, is he all right?

225
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,720
Oh, Frank.
Well, Frank is having some

226
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,920
difficulty adjusting.
They've been rather violent.

227
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:57,840
We've had to restrain them for
their safety as well as ours.

228
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,760
And and the others, Colin and
Doctor Smalls.

229
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,400
Yes, Colin is here, and I did
not realize that Mister Smalls

230
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,880
was a doctor.
Well, I'm going to have to ask

231
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,040
you.
Could you tell me what's the

232
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,600
last thing you remember if
you're only just now asking

233
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,600
about these these weeks that
have passed?

234
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,360
I was in a temple in the
Yucatan.

235
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,960
Yes, this temple.
I've heard of it.

236
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,600
This is the chicken zoo.
Called Shamal.

237
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,640
How do you spell?
That and I I rattle off the

238
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,720
actual spelling.
OK, yes.

239
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,760
Oh, I would not have thought
there would be an X in it.

240
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,280
OK.
It's not an obvious word,

241
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,400
Chicken zoo that Colin told you
that, didn't he?

242
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,400
Yes, yes he did.
Of course.

243
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,960
He's been having some
difficulties as well.

244
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,520
He's been having seizures.
We've had to put him in a a

245
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,720
padded room again for his own
protection.

246
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,880
Do you know, did he have any
previous history with seizures?

247
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Have you ever seen him seize
before?

248
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,360
No.
Who?

249
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:07,640
Who are you?
Oh, I'm sorry.

250
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,839
My name is Doctor Keaton.
We've actually spoken once

251
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:14,319
before.
I believe you were another

252
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:18,720
doctor.
We were talking about a Mr.

253
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,119
Edgar job.
Apologies, that was such a long

254
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,800
time ago.
At least it feels that way.

255
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,440
And how is Mr. Job?
Same as usual.

256
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,680
He seems a little bit more
agitated since you came in here.

257
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:40,120
Mr. Kearns tried to bite him
once.

258
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,840
I I need to see Frank
immediately.

259
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:49,120
And doth thou open thine eyes
upon such Ed 1 and bringeth me

260
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,120
into judgement with thee?
Pardon.

261
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,400
I said, how are you feeling?
Uh.

262
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:57,600
Oh.
Like I'm losing my mind.

263
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,680
Tell me, what's the last thing
you remember?

264
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:08,360
OK, so we're floating in space.
The temple is just sort of

265
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:10,760
chilling there.
Colin has passed out.

266
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,880
And is there anything you would
like to do in this room?

267
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,760
The runes along the wall are all
glowing.

268
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,920
I would be happy to panic or
freak, but.

269
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,760
It's a TARDIS, right?
It, it, it, it operates like a

270
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,920
ship, right?
Take a selfie.

271
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,320
Sure, I whip out my Google Pixel
10 Pro.

272
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,440
Time really is getting all
fucked.

273
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,840
I'm the one who says stuff that
doesn't make sense, not you.

274
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,840
Oh no, we have condoms.
Do you know me?

275
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,760
So the runes are glowing.
Yes, you see that there are at

276
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,280
least three large runes that are
all glowing in one way or

277
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,120
another.
May I interject here?

278
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,640
I finished drawing and I I
actually opened my character

279
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:07,240
sheet and I lost the role.
So my -4 becomes -8.

280
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,680
It seems like all you guys are
going to need to go to an insane

281
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,640
asylum.
Yeah, didn't see that.

282
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,840
Well, except for smalls, who
somehow still has a positive

283
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,560
stability, at least for now for.
The time being I can change at

284
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,880
any given point in time.
Yeah, I give it like 5 minutes

285
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,280
tops.
I think if I'm blasted I'm going

286
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,400
to try to punch a wall like one
of the runes.

287
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,640
OK.
If we get lost in time forever,

288
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,080
that's on you bro.
Roll me AD three.

289
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,840
I know that isn't a real dice,
but you could do it in a roll

290
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,480
20.
Roll me AD 3. 2.

291
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,280
Oh.
What?

292
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,240
Dan yeah, he was going to say
that no matter what, you can

293
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,240
roll.
Yeah, pretty much all of them

294
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,480
are oh, worthy.
To be fair, all of them are oh

295
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,040
worthy.
Dan, are we dead?

296
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,160
No.
No more than usual.

297
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,400
No, we can't be dead.
We gotta make it to the asylum

298
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,120
somehow.
That could just be a dying dream

299
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,680
we're all sharing.
We're not even sharing it.

300
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,160
The temple shakes again, and you
find yourself somewhere else.

301
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,480
What does the outside look like
this time?

302
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,600
Well, the sky is raining fire
and blood.

303
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,200
Oh fuck.
So that's not ideal.

304
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:27,120
There's a strange sound, almost
like a A music echoes

305
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:30,440
everywhere.
Not music like A like a a

306
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,280
tuneless, melodyless piping.
Oh no, we're in Scotland.

307
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,240
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
So, Daniel, I think this is a

308
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,760
noteworthy moment and Smalls is
going to go and try and touch

309
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,160
one of the other room.
They are not glowing at the

310
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,360
moment.
Oh God damn fuck takes.

311
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,200
A takes a second to recharge.
Fuck.

312
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,840
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
fuck.

313
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,160
You don't have any of the like
cooldown rate items?

314
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,240
Yeah, as you look outside, there
is a thunderstorm that rolls

315
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,160
through the area.
Ash rains from the sky,

316
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,200
blanketing everything.
And.

317
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:14,360
The lightning is green.
Kearns just fucking loses.

318
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:20,120
It brought us to fucking hell.
How could this be worse?

319
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:23,720
You want to look at the stars.
Yes.

320
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,080
They're all flipping you off.
You're back on Earth.

321
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:35,280
Right place, wrong time.
In fact, if you want to spend a

322
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,040
point of astronomy, I might be
able to tell you what exactly

323
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,600
this is.
Sure.

324
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,520
In about a month and a half, two
months.

325
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,040
In the future from where you
remember you are.

326
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,520
Oh, this is how it could be
worse.

327
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:53,240
That would do it.
We spend the first three weeks

328
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,160
of that.
Two months.

329
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,800
Countdown in a fucking
sanitarium.

330
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,160
Why do you so?
It took a while to get there

331
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,280
too.
Oh.

332
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,240
Come on man.
Everyone who's conscious, unless

333
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,240
you have truly not looked
outside at all.

334
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,880
Difficulty 3 Potential losses
for stability tests.

335
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:17,640
At which point you're insane.
Or is it?

336
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,400
Minus -12.
So.

337
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,120
If you fail this, that's that.
And if you're blasted, you can't

338
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:28,120
spend points.
I once again succeed.

339
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,600
I'm fine, you're not fine, but
you made the same.

340
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,160
I am fine.
This is gonna come back to bite

341
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,640
me.
Oh God.

342
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,960
Oh God.
OK.

343
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,120
Yeah, I succeeded.
My fucking heart.

344
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,040
I want off call Garat's wild
ride.

345
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,360
He teareth me in his wrath.
Who hateth me?

346
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,040
He masheth upon me with his
teeth.

347
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,280
My enemy sharpeneth his eyes
upon me.

348
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,360
Frank Kearns.
You wake up chained to a bed.

349
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,200
You are, of course, in an insane
asylum like everybody else.

350
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,560
You would not have seen Joy
Grove.

351
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,400
You flew the team to Savannah,
but you had never actually been

352
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,600
to the insane asylum, I think.
No, I assume I'm pumped full of

353
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,600
shit that is giving me a massive
hangover.

354
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:32,840
Yes.
Fuck my head.

355
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,680
Oh what the fuck, where am I?
It's an unfamiliar ceiling.

356
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:41,600
JBJB.
You are alone.

357
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,840
I strain against the chain.
Without making a check, you're

358
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,280
not going to be able to get
through the chain.

359
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,080
I'm going to make a check
Athletics.

360
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,080
Yeah, assume in the asylum you
have refreshed all of your

361
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,800
abilities.
However, in the flash in the

362
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,760
temple, you have not refreshed
all of your abilities.

363
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:04,640
OK, good.
What's the difficulty?

364
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,480
Well, you're trying to break out
of a chain, so 6.

365
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,000
I must have been 2.
Can you spend?

366
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,840
Stability is back.
Everybody's stability is back as

367
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,240
well.
Actually it the we'll talk about

368
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,520
maybe some permanent effects
your loss of stability may have

369
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,080
given you.
But for now, yes.

370
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,200
Yeah, so our oldest 7.
So I.

371
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,640
Rolled a 5 + 2.
Yes.

372
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,520
I just wanted to in case any of
us in our audience is like,

373
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,840
wait, how could you roll AD 6?
Again, literally nobody in the

374
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000
audience thought that.
We have faith in you, audience,

375
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,400
even if Daniel doesn't.
Well, I don't know, maybe it's

376
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,160
all crazy like the turn.
What do you think?

377
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,080
Our audience is stupid.
I don't know.

378
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,800
I mean, they do listen to us so.
Yeah.

379
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,720
Nathan said it.
I didn't, but many of us were

380
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,120
thinking it.
I work so hard on this show

381
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,240
guys.
I think it's a good show, I

382
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,240
think.
It's a good show.

383
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,920
So I just like flex like I've
never done before.

384
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,520
Like I'm bench pressing a
fucking freight train and I'm

385
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,800
assuming like with it's chains,
right?

386
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,120
So I managed like to get what an
arm free.

387
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,520
I guess it's not fully a chain
so much as you are.

388
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,800
It's not a full on metal like
handcuffs.

389
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,520
That would be maybe a little bit
more difficult.

390
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,960
You were able to bust out of the
restraints that are in you kind

391
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:30,200
of effortlessly with your flex.
Fuck, get this shit off of me.

392
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,560
I try to get up and then we'll
see.

393
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,440
I haven't thought that thus far.
As you stand up, your legs are a

394
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,600
bit wobbly.
It's.

395
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,560
OK.
Yeah, but you are able to stand.

396
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,640
You are in a locked room.
Easy there, easy OK.

397
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,160
There is a window, but it has
bars on it.

398
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,800
What's outside?
Honestly, you mostly see kudzu

399
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,160
vine that has sort of overgrown
the window, but you see a little

400
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,000
bit into a little courtyard
outside.

401
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,680
It looks like you might be on a
second floor.

402
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,440
No fire raining from the sky.
No, no.

403
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,720
OK, OK, not yet.
That's good.

404
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:20,800
I go to the door and start just
hey anyone let me out of here.

405
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,040
You do that for a little while,
you hear some movement and you

406
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,720
eventually see like a little
sliding panel moves across the

407
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,800
door so just some eyes can look
in.

408
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:36,880
And you see some eyes looking in
and it says, oh, Mr. Kearns, I

409
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,720
see you're up and about.
Yeah, let me the fuck out of

410
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,920
here.
You know, we do have to keep you

411
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,920
in there for your own safety at
the moment.

412
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,720
You've been acting very
aggressively with some of our

413
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:54,560
staff here.
I clench my fist like as as if

414
00:26:54,560 --> 00:27:02,360
I'm about to punch the eyes.
But now I'm like, OK, OK, all

415
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:06,000
right, I'm good now.
I'm glad to hear it.

416
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,240
Yeah, I'm glad to hear it.
Now can I go please?

417
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,440
I need, I need to find my
people.

418
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,600
I need to.
I got stuff to do.

419
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,480
There's no time.
The only thing you need to be

420
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,800
doing right now is feeling
better.

421
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,800
I I'm I'm feeling great.
Really.

422
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,920
Yes, I'm amazing.
I case in point, I point at the

423
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,280
ropes have ripped on on the
floor.

424
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,560
Well, that seems that you're
doing physically well, but are

425
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,080
you feeling mentally well?
What do you they are destroying

426
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,040
from morning to evening.
They perish forever without any

427
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,000
regarding it.
Where's that from?

428
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:47,760
I have theology.
Oh, that's from the book of Job.

429
00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:51,160
That's the book of Job.
Why are you quoting Bible at me?

430
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:58,760
I'm sorry, no, Mr. Job is not
going to be speaking to you

431
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,640
right now.
He seemed to have you 2 seemed

432
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,600
to not be getting off on the
right foot.

433
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,400
Do I remember job?
You never would have met Job,

434
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,960
but you would have heard of Job
unless did you talk to him

435
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,440
later?
I mean, I would have also

436
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,080
apparently tried to bite him.
Oh yes, you don't remember

437
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,440
anything in the asylum up until
like this point?

438
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,680
I might have heard of Job, but
right now, in my jumbled state

439
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,800
of mind, I'm I'm probably going
to like, no, Job's a fiction.

440
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,120
He's a Bible guy with the wife
and the kids and the sheep and

441
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:37,720
everything.
Oh, do you see yourself as a bit

442
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,360
of a joke?
Are you suffering for no reason?

443
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,200
No, my friend, I have every
reason to suffer.

444
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,840
What's the last thing you
remember?

445
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,680
Punching A glowing wall.
A glowing wall.

446
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,000
Now I haven't heard anything
about a glowing wall.

447
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,360
Now is this in the your friend?
Well, you could describe it for

448
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,800
me.
Where?

449
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:06,840
Where was this glowing wall?
It was in the this Mayan Temple

450
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,280
Chechen jewel.
Oh.

451
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,400
In the jungle in the Yucatan, we
went there to find a weapon.

452
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,960
Oh, this is the first I've heard
of this.

453
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,000
You were looking for a weapon?
What sort of weapon?

454
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,120
You're a shrink.
You won't get it until you've

455
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,440
seen it.
I assure you my friend, I have

456
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,800
heard many stories.
I believe you.

457
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,640
Please just tell me.
Assess honesty.

458
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,880
He absolutely doesn't fucking
believe you of.

459
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,440
Course.
No, he doesn't believe you in

460
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,960
the slightest.
You're an insane person.

461
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,880
But this whole group delusion
that you're all having and the

462
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,040
fact that it might sort of be
related to Job, he's thinking

463
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:53,000
that like maybe Job's insanity
is spreading or something like

464
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,440
that.
Again, it seems like he's just

465
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,880
trying to write a shitty book.
Hey there, remember our April

466
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,440
Fool's episode where we were
horses?

467
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,320
In the interest of keeping our
already kind of jumbled feed

468
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,920
tidy and on topic, the second
part is going to be a free drop

469
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,160
on our Patreon.
Alternatively, you can check out

470
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,800
both parts on the Friendship
Factory feed where you'll hear

471
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,360
stuff like this.
Welcome back to the magical land

472
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,960
of Equestria.
Come on everybody, let's go to

473
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,320
the murder Forest.
How?

474
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,400
Why?
I don't care.

475
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,200
I guess I don't know if you're
built like a drop.

476
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,880
We're strong, but that doesn't
actually mean you're built.

477
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,600
I believe the expression is hung
like a horse.

478
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,800
Stop trying to get people with
your delicious.

479
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,040
Pony flesh have.
Fun editing that.

480
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,080
Is this a transparent ploy to
direct people to the Patreon or

481
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,960
our friend show?
Maybe, Who's to say, but it's

482
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,000
still free either way over at
patreon.com/dread Tails.

483
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,040
I remember this guy now.
Yep.

484
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,760
Yep.
Now I.

485
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:53,120
OK, so, so knowing this, I'm
going to smile very unsettlingly

486
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,080
with all of my teeth, and I'm
gonna go.

487
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,920
Yeah.
So there was this temple inside

488
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,320
the mountain.
It was full of lava and we were

489
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,240
taking a ring there.
There was me, my friend the

490
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,160
magician, my other friend Homo
with the bow.

491
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,880
They're also a couple horses,
but they go eaten.

492
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,120
I don't know what you're talking
about considering The Lord of

493
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,800
the Rings has not been published
yet, though The Hobbit has been,

494
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,480
but regardless, he's writing it
down excitingly.

495
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:36,240
I googled just now when Lord of
the Rings was published, 1954.

496
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,360
I could have sworn it was closer
to The Hobbit than that.

497
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,120
No, it actually he wrote it for
a long whatever.

498
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,800
We don't need to get into it.
I'm I'm holding off my Lord of

499
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,760
the Rings.
Go listen to the Shell by Genre

500
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,320
podcast.
They're doing a whole thing on

501
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,640
Lord of the Rings these days.
Yeah, there was also a dragon.

502
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,240
A dragon, you say?
Yeah, there was.

503
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,920
There was a big ass dragon
breathed fire and everything.

504
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,520
It had like a bald spot in on
its nipple.

505
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,120
I'm a bald spot.
Yeah, you had to shoot it with a

506
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,960
Tommy gun.
Where's my Tommy gun, by the

507
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,760
way?
Oh, you don't need a Tommy gun?

508
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,880
Depends on who you ask.
Yeah.

509
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,440
Yeah.
Let the day perish wherein I was

510
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,200
born, and the night in which it
was said, there is a man child

511
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,320
conceiveth.
Let that day be darkness.

512
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,080
Let not God regard it from
above, neither let the light

513
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,960
shine upon it.
Let darkness in the shadow of

514
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,320
death stain it.
Let a cloud dwell upon it, let

515
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,320
the blackness of the day terrify
it.

516
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,880
As for that night, let darkness
seize upon it.

517
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,840
Let it not be joined unto the
days of the year.

518
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,800
Let it not come into the number
of months.

519
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:00,920
Lo, let that night be solitary.
Let no joyful voice come

520
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,800
therein.
Let them curse it that day.

521
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,000
Curse the day who are ready to
rise up there.

522
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,560
Morning.
Let the stars of twilight

523
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,720
therefore be dark.
Let it look for light, but have

524
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,800
none, neither let it see the
dawning of the day.

525
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,040
So lightning is raining from the
sky in this temple.

526
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,600
Like above the temple or in the
temple?

527
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,440
Outside the temple, you actually
the temple shakes a couple of

528
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,480
times.
You're not sure if it's because

529
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,200
it's being struck by this
lightning.

530
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,520
There's some sort of earthquake
again.

531
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,920
Ash is also raining from the sky
and this music, this a total

532
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,200
warbling that almost feels like
it's going to resolve into a

533
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,720
melody, but never quite
continues.

534
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,240
Oh no, the warbling.
Are are the runes blowing yet?

535
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,240
They are glowing.
Yes, I'm going to slap a room.

536
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,600
OK.
Do you want to try to examine

537
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,920
them to determine which one, or
do you just want to flip a coin?

538
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,560
What would I need to roll?
Like what skill would I need to

539
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,280
use?
Well, this would investigative

540
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,640
skill.
So what sort of skill would you

541
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,360
use to understand these runes?
I don't know if you have any of

542
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,960
those skills.
I have a cult and am now very

543
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,560
invested in leaving this place
so.

544
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,159
The closest thing I can suggest
is archaeology, but I know that

545
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:20,679
wouldn't be relevant.
Not quite, no.

546
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:26,239
Can I use a cult to investigate
this these runes?

547
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,800
You can tell that the two runes
that are remaining there are

548
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,280
sort of two sets to each of
them.

549
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,639
One of them seems to indicate a
location and one of them seems

550
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:39,840
to indicate a time.
You don't know if you would have

551
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,320
been able to put that all
together just looking at it

552
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,400
without doing what else is going
on here, but with the other

553
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,639
things that are going on, you're
definitely able to put together

554
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:50,639
that.
What are the symbols means

555
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:52,679
location and one of the symbols
means time.

556
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,480
As you are looking at them, you
also see that there are actually

557
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,680
4 symbols that are glowing now.
As you've been waiting, more

558
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,320
symbols have been lighting up.
There's the symbol for the place

559
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,000
you're in right now, and a
symbol for another place.

560
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,560
OK.
And we're at the right place.

561
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,240
So now we just need to change
the time.

562
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,360
Yes, assuming you are in the
right place.

563
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:16,600
Hey, Frank, we're in the right
place, right?

564
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:25,360
Yeah, I think so.
There are two runes that

565
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,520
indicate this place, but are a
different time.

566
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,160
You could spend a point of a
cult to make an educated guess

567
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,600
about which one is further back.
I'm going to spend that occult

568
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,120
point, baby.
OK.

569
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,320
You have one that seems to go
back to around the time when you

570
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,000
left, and one that goes back to
about 1524 AD.

571
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,280
OK, so let's not hit the 1524 AD
one.

572
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,880
Why not?
Chrono Trigger this shit.

573
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:55,440
You also see there's another
1524 in the other place if you'd

574
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,520
like to go there too.
You know all these options.

575
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:04,360
I punch the correct one.
What do you mean correct one?

576
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:11,800
I mean this spatial location
timeline wise not too far off

577
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,760
from when we left.
Wait, what's in 1524?

578
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,320
I have no desire to find out.
I I kinda do.

579
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,960
Oh God.
Wait, hang on.

580
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,160
OK, let's let's let's check it
out.

581
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,480
Oh my God, no.
What if we get stuck back there?

582
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,320
Then we wouldn't make it to the
asylum.

583
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,760
Yeah, we'll be fine.
K but the the the JB.

584
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,680
I will say, if you end up
getting yourself killed in this

585
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,520
temple section, everything that
you are experiencing in the

586
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,560
asylum will end up being a
horrible dream that you're

587
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,360
having before you die.
Why?

588
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:52,160
Wouldn't do that to us.
Dan would 100% do that to us.

589
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,800
At least 90%.
I'm not.

590
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:58,000
If some of you survive, some of
you will be in the asylum and

591
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,360
some of you won't be.
I am down to go to our right

592
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,400
time, but I am also down to see
what happened in the earlier

593
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,600
time.
I mean, there's Italian war,

594
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,880
early exploration of the
American coast could be

595
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,760
something to do with that.
Or, you know, when the temple

596
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,960
was built.
Yeah, you'll be.

597
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,120
I mean, you could use
archaeology to maybe know what

598
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:19,560
would be going on around that
time.

599
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,080
What would be going on around
that time I have archaeology?

600
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,120
We have a friend who might be in
a cage around that time.

601
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,720
Oh yeah, that guy, Yeah.
I was editing earlier.

602
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,720
I mean, he was a conquistador.
I have no real desire to save

603
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:42,000
him from his eternal torture.
1524 would be when the Spanish

604
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,280
are beginning their expeditions
into this part of the world.

605
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,440
Well, not beginning what they've
definitely begun their

606
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,160
expeditions into this part of
the world.

607
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,960
And in fact, that would have
been the earliest record of This

608
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,480
site is from 1524.
Yeah, let's go check it out.

609
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:04,400
I believe JP said that he hit
the route to go to quote UN

610
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,720
quote normal time.
Now I feel like the bad guy

611
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:12,280
because I'm, you know, taking
away everybody else's fun.

612
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,360
Oh, no, no, no.
See, here's the thing.

613
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:20,040
I, I think it's a good idea
going to the correct time being,

614
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,840
you know, when we came from
because I am pretty low on

615
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,400
stability and there are people.
Who are?

616
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:27,480
Yeah, that's fair.
Very.

617
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,040
Close to becoming irreparably
insane.

618
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,240
Yeah.
For for the sake of team safety,

619
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,280
I punched the rune that will
send us back to the proper time

620
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,040
with which we can use to solve
this crisis.

621
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:42,920
Wait, no.
But what happened?

622
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:48,200
Oh.
The building shakes differently

623
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,320
than the earthquakes that you
were.

624
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,160
You were saying you are
thankfully free of that horrible

625
00:38:54,160 --> 00:39:02,480
song, not song, whatever it was.
And you return to Chichen Zhou

626
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,120
in 1937, few days after you
disappeared, actually.

627
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,600
But that's neither here nor
there.

628
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:11,480
I will fight me something.
Well.

629
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:16,600
You might still get your chance.
I for now double check to make

630
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,320
sure like the outside looks not
apocalyptic.

631
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,920
It does not look apocalyptic.
In fact, you don't even see the

632
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,720
monster that chased you up here
before.

633
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,920
I guess gold graph kept its
word.

634
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,360
Shall we?
I think we've got what we we

635
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,240
came for.
Shall we go?

636
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,760
An unconscious calling on the
floor.

637
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,520
Yeah.
Smelling salts will.

638
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,400
Carry.
What do you mean we?

639
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,640
Can I bust out some smelling
salts?

640
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,720
I guess if you have
preparedness.

641
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:47,840
I do have preparedness roll for
it.

642
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,320
What is my difficulty?
3.

643
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,320
I will only spend one point.
I got three.

644
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,200
I attempt to use them to wake
Colin up.

645
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,760
Yeah, birds.
Well, easy there, easy there,

646
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,160
bud.
You OK?

647
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,280
No.
Wait, no, obviously not.

648
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,000
I'm great.
I'm doing great.

649
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,640
Welcome back to the land of the
living.

650
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,440
Nerf.
All right.

651
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,560
I take Colin by the ankle and
drag him towards the exit.

652
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,240
Well, remember you're going to
you went down a trap door.

653
00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:25,360
So this is actually going to be
a little bit tricky to get up

654
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,000
there, but.
I drag him up to the exit.

655
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,120
Kurtz and I may have made it
there a different way.

656
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,720
You climbed back up and then
went into it.

657
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,760
OK, yeah, get your hands off me.
I can walk, I think.

658
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,040
I like to see that I drop him on
the floor.

659
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,360
As you reach the top, the
chamber looks like it did when

660
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,000
you left, except there isn't a
horrible monster there looking

661
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,960
at you.
There is still the altar that

662
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,600
needs to be filled with blood or
any liquid would do actually, so

663
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,840
you could have pissed in it.
I mean, we did, yeah.

664
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,080
I know.
I know.

665
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,160
You did.
I?

666
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,880
I know.
Shit stinks in here.

667
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,480
It's.
Like still pissed.

668
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,960
Who's been eating asparagus?
Well, first of all, it wouldn't

669
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,800
smell like that anymore 'cause
it's been a couple days.

670
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:21,320
There is a metal rod of some
sort sitting on the altar.

671
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,040
Dibs.
Oh my.

672
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,920
God.
Well, as you approach it and you

673
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:31,000
like raise your hand over it, it
feels like warm to the touch and

674
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,800
you recognize that this is a
brand and you see that on the

675
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,760
end of it is something that
looks like the symbol of

676
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:43,480
Golgaroth.
And that part is flaming hot for

677
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,280
some reason that you cannot
quite identify.

678
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,840
Colin fancy a tattoo?
OK, hang on a second.

679
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,480
I got to chip a rock off this
wall.

680
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:59,040
I'm about.
That is very true.

681
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,200
You are going to need to chip a
rock off the wall.

682
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,600
That's part of the ritual of
summoned Galkarov.

683
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,640
Yep.
As Colin goes to chip the rock

684
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:12,360
off the wall, I'm going to do
something that is probably dumb.

685
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,800
OK.
I'm going to do it anyway.

686
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,760
Doctor Smalls walks over to the
business end of said brand,

687
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:28,520
rolls up their left sleeve to
show their forearm and don't,

688
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:35,560
don't I I said I was going to do
it and touches their forearm to

689
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,000
the brand.
Why would you do?

690
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,640
That.
Dang, now it smells like piss

691
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,800
and roasted human.
All right, it hurts like hell.

692
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:51,200
Yeah, I, yeah.
Lose 2 health points and make a

693
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,400
stability test.
Difficulty 4.

694
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,920
Potential loss of five as you
begin to see things.

695
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,920
Oh boy.
So the bad effects of stability

696
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,920
start at -1 right?
Yes.

697
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,840
Cool, I'm just going to spend 3
stability.

698
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,760
To get you to 0.
That takes me to 0.

699
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,360
OK, but I'm so you're not.
Doing great and you're seeing

700
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,640
visions.
Which is why I'm not doing

701
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,400
great.
Yes, zero is shaken.

702
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,560
You're considered shaken.
OK, it it could be a lot worse.

703
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:28,360
Yeah.
You can see now, with your eyes

704
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:34,400
as you look down below.
The entire temple complex, as it

705
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:42,520
were, is full of Mayan warriors
dancing, chanting, sacrificing,

706
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:49,000
and at least a dozen of those
frog URS as they were described

707
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,640
earlier there as well.
Two of which are standing right

708
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,880
by the entrance to the actual
raised pyramid that you were in.

709
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,120
OK.
And I'm assuming none of them

710
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,040
are paying us any mind.
They are not, no.

711
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,360
Interesting.
Are the rest of you seeing that?

712
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,320
They are not.
Yeah, I I would assume not.

713
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,840
Donovan, what the fuck are you
talking about?

714
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,520
So you guys having a BBQ up
there?

715
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,800
No.
Kinda.

716
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:23,120
No.
So I go ahead and describe the

717
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:27,360
scene to everybody in the like
immediate vicinity.

718
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,760
Oh cool, give me that brand.
I'm gonna fight myself in Frog.

719
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,680
You are.
No, I actively hold curtains

720
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:41,000
back from doing that.
It seems I may have a vision, a

721
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:48,360
link somehow to some sort of
spiritual plane or the past.

722
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:53,360
Since they seem to be ignoring
us, I'm assuming it's some sort

723
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,200
of link to the past of this
place.

724
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,280
Try throwing your shield in a
lake.

725
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,800
Regardless.
No, hang on, what if you do

726
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,960
actually try to attract their
attention?

727
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,360
Do you want to try to like step
out of the pyramid to see if

728
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,320
they react to you?
Yeah, why not?

729
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,880
I, I'm not gonna like actively
try and touch one of them, but

730
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,520
I'll like walk in front of one
of the frog URS.

731
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,600
Well, they're a pair of them
right at the entrance, and as

732
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:27,360
you step out, they both bow.
What's going on there, Donovan?

733
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:35,200
The frog creatures are bowing to
me, so it is not the path that I

734
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:40,760
am seeing but something current
maybe.

735
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,480
Doctor Smalls.
Yep.

736
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:49,520
Your room is still locked, but
it's not the full padded

737
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:55,800
treatment that Colin had, nor
the tide to the bed that Kearns

738
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,360
had.
It is the just locked room that

739
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,680
Mister Falk had.
OK, you wake up in Joy Grove

740
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,840
Insane asylum.
You probably don't recognize it

741
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,720
unless you're aware of Joy
Grove.

742
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,680
You may have heard the other
people talking about it, of

743
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,760
course, but.
I would know it's an insane

744
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,640
asylum probably by the look of
the room.

745
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,280
I just don't know.
The you also could just identify

746
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,280
that yes, yes, yes.
And looking out the window, you

747
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,320
see the distinctive kudzu vine
that is already eating most of

748
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,680
the South.
There's a knock at the door.

749
00:46:31,240 --> 00:46:35,000
Not that I really have much of A
choice here, but enter.

750
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,080
The man sits down again.
This is sort of an observation

751
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,080
room where there's like a little
separation between you and the

752
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,200
person there, but there's a
window.

753
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,520
Good morning Mr. Smalls, how
are, how are we feeling today?

754
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,160
You're, you're up and about.
You seem more more lucid.

755
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:57,920
It would be Doctor Smalls, Sir.
I'm sorry, Doctor Smalls.

756
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,960
I suppose that's appropriate.
I wouldn't want to.

757
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:07,080
I wouldn't want anybody to call
me Mr. Right, a doctorate

758
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,920
myself.
What are you, a doctor in Mr.

759
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:16,040
Doctor Smalls?
My doctorate was in psychology.

760
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,840
Oh, well then I suppose you know
where you are.

761
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:26,520
More or less, More or less.
And you understand that you are

762
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:32,680
currently undergoing treatment.
You have been checked in here by

763
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,320
well wishers who wish you to
recover.

764
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:40,280
They said that you had some sort
of incident down in Mexico.

765
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,520
And who would this well wisher
be by chance?

766
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:49,600
They were named, let's see here,
Esperanza, a PrettyLittleThing

767
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,760
Esperanza de la Vega.
Yeah, this guy sucks.

768
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:59,400
I have no knowledge of who this
person is, so as far as them

769
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,200
being a well wisher I have my
doubts.

770
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,400
However, continue.
Well, they seem to know you very

771
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,920
well.
They said that you were the most

772
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:13,240
important member of the group.
Were you providing sort of

773
00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:19,200
therapy to these folks?
I was helping them as necessary.

774
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:25,480
Yes, they had been put under my
care and I was in the middle of

775
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,880
assisting them and I would like
to get back to doing so, Doctor.

776
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,000
Well, you don't need to worry
about that anymore.

777
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,600
Mr. Smalls.
I know that you've been having

778
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:37,920
your own difficulties, so we,
we've been handling it for you.

779
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,120
Maybe we should compare notes at
some point.

780
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,480
What's?
And I just want to would it be

781
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,240
OK if we conducted a small
interview?

782
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:49,680
We've had a couple of
conversations before, but you've

783
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,800
not talked like this before.
You've been much more, well,

784
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:58,080
you're much more lucid today.
Well, I will definitely hear any

785
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,280
questions that you may have.
Please go on.

786
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,720
The eye of him that hath seen me
shall see no more.

787
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,040
Thine eyes are upon me, and I am
not.

788
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,800
Doctor Keaton says that very
calmly while taking notes.

789
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,240
Sorry, could could you repeat
that?

790
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,960
I said, what were you doing in
the Yucatan?

791
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:20,520
Well, the group was
investigating a lead to the

792
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,080
current job that they were.
And what is this group you, you

793
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,800
speak of this group?
What group is this?

794
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,080
Did you have a goal?
You said you were looking for a

795
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,440
lead.
Yeah.

796
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:35,280
However, unfortunately, due to
client privilege much similar to

797
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,120
doctor patient confidentiality,
which I'm sure you yourself

798
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:44,200
would know about, I'm unable to
give you too many details about

799
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,680
that.
He is not excited about this

800
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,480
line ever.
He's like, what can you tell me?

801
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,240
What did you see in the Yucatan?
I'm told that it was this

802
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:56,360
chicken zoo.
No.

803
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,640
Chichen Zoo, yes.
Chichen Zoo Zoo.

804
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:08,320
It was a very lovely actually.
It's an old an old Mayan

805
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:13,600
structure if I remember
correctly, and we were taking a

806
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:19,320
look at it for, well, mainly
pertaining to the archaeological

807
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,120
significance of the site.
So you were doing archaeology

808
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,760
because, let's see, Mr. Kern
said.

809
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,640
You were trying to find a
weapon, but then said something

810
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,480
about a dragon.
Was there a dragon?

811
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,480
Are you sure your notes are
correct, Doctor Keaton?

812
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,080
It sounds like something may
have gotten mixed up.

813
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,240
Or Are you sure you're feeling
OK?

814
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:47,040
No, no, I'm feeling just fine.
I.

815
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:49,760
I love smalls right now.
I'm.

816
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,000
Feeling.
I mean, I've always loved

817
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:51,560
smalls.
Smalls.

818
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,480
Is the best character.
I just wanted to.

819
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,440
I just wanted.
To confirm.

820
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:02,200
I just wanted to confirm because
obviously the Speaking of a

821
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,600
dragon was a little much.
I just wanted to see if you had

822
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,280
similar delusions, if you'd seen
similar things.

823
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:12,880
You see, as I mentioned, we were
there for archaeological

824
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,720
purposes.
Again, talk of Dragons.

825
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,720
I seriously wondering where did
this come from?

826
00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:24,320
Like where?
Where do you get your interest

827
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,760
in Dragons?
No, no, Enough about Dragons.

828
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,440
What is this?
Did you go with somebody named

829
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:36,520
Rick Luke?
They said something about did he

830
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,600
have any relationship to birds
or not have a relationship to

831
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,040
birds as it were.
Again, it's it sounds like your

832
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:45,800
your notes that you've been
taken are.

833
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,800
No, OK, we'll, we'll speak
again.

834
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,240
We'll speak again.
I'm glad to see that you're up.

835
00:51:55,640 --> 00:52:01,560
And he, he leads.
These creatures are bowing to

836
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:06,360
you and it's hard to make out.
But you also see a, a man is

837
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,720
walking up the temple steps.
But there are plenty of people

838
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:10,880
going up and down the temple
steps.

839
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,960
But there seems to be one that
is in the quote UN quote real

840
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,600
world approaching you and maybe
anybody else looking out notices

841
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,520
as well.
OK.

842
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,440
Hey everybody, come on.
Come, all right.

843
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,520
I observe.
Where's my gun?

844
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:31,920
Walking up the steps with a big
smile on his face, which

845
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,080
actually seems a little
different than the last time

846
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,680
that you saw him, is Guillermo
Castillo.

847
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,840
You.
Gizmo.

848
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,640
Son of a bitch.
Mr. Castillo.

849
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,800
It's good to see you are all
right.

850
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,040
Is he armed?
He's not armed, he's wearing a

851
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,960
pistol.
He doesn't like have it out or

852
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,960
anything.
Yeah, last we left him, I had

853
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:58,200
gas let him into letting us go
on our way.

854
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:00,880
How did you gaslight him?
What did you tell him?

855
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,880
Believe I.
Told him I was a member of the

856
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,320
Colts.
Yep.

857
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,080
He was adopted.
Yep.

858
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,560
And that I had sent these people
here to be sacrificed.

859
00:53:13,240 --> 00:53:18,400
So really, he has caught me with
my pants down and my Dick in my

860
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,640
hand, so to speak.
JB, what are you doing?

861
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,040
Motherfucker, you know, fuck
you.

862
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:30,760
Say that.
He smiles as he looks up at you.

863
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,320
I don't know if the rest of you
are outside, but Mr. Smalls is

864
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,240
at least on the steps here, he
says.

865
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,880
You look less sacrificed that I
thought you would be, yes.

866
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,720
What?
One word and I'm going to rush

867
00:53:43,720 --> 00:53:46,560
him.
It seems that we have been

868
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:51,400
accepted by this place and as
like kind of showy.

869
00:53:51,720 --> 00:53:56,240
I like kind of open up my arms
and make it so that the brand

870
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,160
that is now on my left forearm
is visible to him.

871
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:04,120
He sees that and he nods and he
says you are blessed.

872
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,960
It is not what I expected, but
our God booths and ways few can

873
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:12,560
understand.
Come with me, we'll get you away

874
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,920
from this place.
Assess honesty.

875
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,360
He isn't trying to lead us to
our deaths, is he?

876
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:18,360
Yeah.
Is he on the up and up?

877
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:23,280
He.
Is frustrated and a bunch of

878
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,480
fucking gringo seem to be
blessed by his God.

879
00:54:27,720 --> 00:54:30,520
Maybe it would do him some good
to learn how to pronounce his

880
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,400
God's actual fucking name.
Idiot.

881
00:54:33,720 --> 00:54:36,120
He he thinks his God's name is
Goximo.

882
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,840
Yeah.
Yeah, he needs to invest points

883
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,760
in flattery.
We haven't figured out how to

884
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,720
say it as a group.
Let's follow him, yeah.

885
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:46,560
Let's go.
Nah, fuck it.

886
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,240
Hyperspace gate.
No.

887
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,800
None of us have the stability to
pull that off right now.

888
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,400
Absolutely the fuck not, yeah.
None of you really have a lot of

889
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,960
stability.
As you leave, you do see that

890
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,840
there are at least a trio of
these monsters existing within

891
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:09,680
this time and space, as it were,
that are all looking at you.

892
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,000
They are not moving, they are
not attacking, but they're all

893
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:18,320
staring at you.
They all give a bow to Smalls

894
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,480
and they just look passively at
the rest of you.

895
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,040
Shoot 1 so bad.
I avoid looking at that.

896
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:25,920
I walk.
Over to wine it.

897
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,960
Seems like a good idea.
And give it a pat on the head.

898
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:32,760
I will say, seeing these other
beings here and just remembering

899
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,720
all the horrible things that you
just saw is enough to fuck you

900
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,520
all up and make it so you don't
quite remember everything that

901
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,600
happened, which is why you're in
Joy Grove, but you were brought

902
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:43,720
there.
Yeah.

903
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,120
I checked in, yeah.
I have to imagine we're all half

904
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,360
fucking delirious just from
having met a God.

905
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,600
Exactly.
Yes, you were getting by on

906
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,560
adrenaline as you maybe take a
breath for a little bit.

907
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,840
The enormity of it all meaning
that God learning some horrible

908
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,920
truths from that God, gaining
the ability to maybe summon that

909
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,120
God to fight another God, it's
all been really fucked.

910
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,480
It's all been really fucked.
Being willingly marked by that

911
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:12,760
God.
Yeah.

912
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,600
What's the thing that as you are
thinking about it, makes you

913
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:20,000
retreat into oblivion?
Cullen is certain he saw a bird

914
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,920
as Rick Luke's head exploded
another one of those crackles,

915
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:26,800
but he's certain he saw that
bird.

916
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,760
He doesn't quite realize there's
something wrong with him yet,

917
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,800
and he feels a stirring in his
skull.

918
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:37,640
JB had genuinely forgotten about
the thing with his mom that was

919
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,320
depressed and it is now.
Fully back.

920
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:47,640
Well, actually it forced you
into like a coma ish state of

921
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,680
just complete
disassociativeness.

922
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,760
But yeah, it's back now.
That's.

923
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,200
Yeah.
I think Kearns just literally

924
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,760
straight up tried to fight a
frog you are and just got

925
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:04,040
physically fucked up.
Oh, you were actually physically

926
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,920
damaged by it.
Yeah.

927
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,680
OK.
And also just having its mouth

928
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:14,440
around your head, it actually
puts its whole mouth over your

929
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:19,280
head, it was about to eat you,
and then does not bite because

930
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,800
you were just in no shape to
fight four of these at once.

931
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:27,040
Yeah, no.
Doctor Smalls goes to sleep when

932
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:31,760
they camp out for the night on
the way back, and he thinks he's

933
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:37,480
having a conversation with
Golgara for the whole time up

934
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:43,640
until he becomes lucid at like.
You do remember that many of the

935
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,520
cultists point at your arm and
like Whisper, you see about a

936
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:51,320
dozen of them as you are making
your way back to the States.

937
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:55,160
You are blessed now.
Congrats.

938
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,360
Write it on your character
sheets.

939
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,320
Yep.
They say blessed, I need you to

940
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,320
write branded.
Yeah, that's what I was gonna

941
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,840
write.
So I guess we have to escape

942
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,160
this asylum at some point.
Yes.

943
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:13,560
So your therapy now that you all
seem to have gained your

944
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:17,720
lucidity around the same time,
though actually I think maybe

945
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,000
these were a couple days apart,
I don't know.

946
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:26,880
You have been brought into a
group session where you've all

947
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:31,160
been placed in a room together
with nobody else in there but

948
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,320
there you know that you are
definitely being watched.

949
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,320
There's a big mirror on one of
the walls and there's like, Oh,

950
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,640
well, that's absolutely just a
watch glass thing.

951
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,440
However, before you, Eddie, if
you could say anything, you

952
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,560
notice there's one more thing in
that room that maybe even the

953
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,880
other people didn't notice.
It's an older room.

954
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:54,720
There are stains on the wall,
water stains, and one of them

955
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:12,800
looks exactly like a mouth.
Thanks for listening.

956
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,600
Daniel is our GM, Renee plays

961
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,920
We have a Patreon at
patreon.com/dread Tails, and we

962
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,680
do a live stream the last Sunday
of the month.

963
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,400
You can find links to these and
other things on the link tree in

964
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,480
the show notes.
Again, thanks for listening and

965
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,000
until next time, just because
you're paranoid doesn't mean

966
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,160
you're not also crazy.
