Welcome back to Daniel's Dread

5
00:00:31,150 --> 00:00:33,630
Tails.
I'm your host, Daniel Fernandez.

6
00:00:34,230 --> 00:00:37,790
This week we reached the
thrilling conclusion of our

7
00:00:37,790 --> 00:00:42,270
Trail of Cthulhu game with
special guests Chris Lackey.

8
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:48,990
Will our heroes, heroes?
Will our investigators be able

9
00:00:48,990 --> 00:00:52,470
to solve the mystery before
they're all driven insane?

10
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:55,230
Like, probably not.
But let's see.

11
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:59,370
Enjoy.
And there's no missing the

12
00:00:59,370 --> 00:01:01,930
missing parts, the extra parts
that he purchased.

13
00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:06,290
Did he say that he had a a lab
somewhere workshop that he used

14
00:01:06,450 --> 00:01:10,730
worked at a a tool and die shop
before he got hired by the

15
00:01:11,570 --> 00:01:15,690
Professor Williams, But he ever
since then he's just worked for

16
00:01:15,690 --> 00:01:18,330
Mr. Williams.
Outside of that he he worked in

17
00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:21,210
the basement to fix up the
radiator every once a while and

18
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:28,250
he would fix up the the the the
roof when it would be broken,

19
00:01:28,290 --> 00:01:32,290
but you know.
So he'd spent time down, down in

20
00:01:32,290 --> 00:01:33,890
the basement and also up on the
roof.

21
00:01:33,930 --> 00:01:35,610
Yes, Yes.
All right.

22
00:01:35,770 --> 00:01:37,250
Maybe we should take a look down
there.

23
00:01:37,570 --> 00:01:39,330
What do you think guys?
You want to go to the boiler

24
00:01:39,330 --> 00:01:41,170
room.
Absolutely, sure.

25
00:01:41,370 --> 00:01:46,410
Makes sense to me the the boiler
room itself looks like a

26
00:01:46,410 --> 00:01:52,010
relatively typical boiler room,
is a mostly empty, remarkably

27
00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:55,370
empty sort of basement with a
boiler and a couple of boxes

28
00:01:55,370 --> 00:01:57,250
here and there.
If you would like to use any

29
00:01:57,250 --> 00:01:58,610
skills.
Again, you might be able to find

30
00:01:58,610 --> 00:02:01,250
something.
Yeah, this time again, collect

31
00:02:01,290 --> 00:02:05,110
evidence collection and.
OK, evidence collection.

32
00:02:05,750 --> 00:02:08,830
I mean, the evidence collection
is going to get you right away.

33
00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:11,670
There's a spot on the walls and
floor where dust pattern

34
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:15,910
suggests that a number of boxes
have recently been taken away.

35
00:02:16,030 --> 00:02:19,510
And if you would like, you can
learn a little bit more if you

36
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:21,630
spend a point of evidence
collection.

37
00:02:21,790 --> 00:02:23,550
Absolutely.
I got, I got a lot.

38
00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:24,750
So you got a lot.
Yeah.

39
00:02:24,990 --> 00:02:26,790
I will do that.
I have 4:00, so yeah.

40
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:28,550
Oh yeah.
So yeah, you're you're good.

41
00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:34,090
There is a crumpled up piece of
paper that was shoved under the

42
00:02:34,090 --> 00:02:37,370
boiler's foot, or maybe it fell
underneath it when things were

43
00:02:37,370 --> 00:02:38,890
getting moved around or
something.

44
00:02:38,930 --> 00:02:42,210
It's as you unravel it.
It's a page of handwritten notes

45
00:02:42,210 --> 00:02:45,930
in faded ink, and it's written
in Latin.

46
00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:48,290
Oh, I've got languages.
Do you speak Latin?

47
00:02:48,490 --> 00:02:51,090
Definitely.
OK, Archaeologist speaks Latin.

48
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:53,130
It's not the craziest thing.
Makes sense.

49
00:02:53,130 --> 00:02:55,730
What does it say?
All right, I got a big I got

50
00:02:55,730 --> 00:02:58,700
another big read to give you
while you were looking.

51
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:02,220
Well, we'll talk about it.
The floutest, blindly piping at

52
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:06,460
the court of Azithoff, both
reinforce and penetrate its

53
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:09,820
boundaries.
Ultimate chaos is falsely

54
00:03:09,820 --> 00:03:14,220
claimed by many necromancers,
molder included, to occupy a

55
00:03:14,220 --> 00:03:17,580
specific place in physical space
at the center of the universe.

56
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:22,300
But logic dictates that this
cannot be true, for chaos abhors

57
00:03:22,420 --> 00:03:26,270
locational specificity.
Rather, ultimate chaos is never

58
00:03:26,270 --> 00:03:28,470
more than an eye blink or dream
away.

59
00:03:29,070 --> 00:03:31,950
It fills the space between
space, the emptiness at the

60
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:36,430
heart of our bodily components,
and then written in English in

61
00:03:36,430 --> 00:03:40,230
parentheses.
Cells, question mark and by

62
00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:44,270
magic's dire can be made
visible, though at enormous

63
00:03:44,270 --> 00:03:47,430
threat to the seer.
OK, so good news and bad news.

64
00:03:49,070 --> 00:03:51,070
Actually, no good news.
This is bad news.

65
00:03:51,310 --> 00:03:54,550
I've got one in Kathulu Mythos,
so some of those words made

66
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:56,950
sense to me.
Oh, OK, yes.

67
00:03:57,790 --> 00:04:02,790
Also, as you look up from the
the paper, you look at the

68
00:04:02,790 --> 00:04:04,750
boiler, the boiler catches your
eye.

69
00:04:04,910 --> 00:04:07,710
There's something wrong,
something strange you can't

70
00:04:07,710 --> 00:04:09,430
quite.
And as you're looking at it, you

71
00:04:09,430 --> 00:04:14,110
realize the boiler has more
sides than it should.

72
00:04:14,350 --> 00:04:16,589
Well I found that's cool that
cubes missing side.

73
00:04:17,010 --> 00:04:20,010
This is going to be a possible
two point stability loss.

74
00:04:20,010 --> 00:04:22,370
I need you to make a roll.
Everyone, everyone.

75
00:04:22,370 --> 00:04:24,570
Or just him.
Just him, cuz he's the only one

76
00:04:24,570 --> 00:04:26,010
who sees it.
I didn't just point it out

77
00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:27,410
though.
Oh, thanks.

78
00:04:28,250 --> 00:04:31,650
I I rolled it too.
Yeah, I'll take a look cuz I

79
00:04:31,650 --> 00:04:35,050
gotta see I'm a reporter.
I'm not gonna spend any points,

80
00:04:35,050 --> 00:04:36,570
cuz I'll probably lose them
anyway.

81
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:38,410
Well, no.
So here's the thing.

82
00:04:38,740 --> 00:04:39,980
He points it out to you.
You don't see it.

83
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:41,380
It looks like a normal boiler to
you.

84
00:04:41,420 --> 00:04:43,540
Oh, OK.
And I'm like, yeah, what are you

85
00:04:43,740 --> 00:04:45,300
talking about?
It's just a boiler.

86
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:47,180
Must have imagined it.
I failed.

87
00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:52,860
And so I'm now at -, 2
stability, so at -, 2 you're you

88
00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:56,300
are now considered.
Little loopy, unstable, I

89
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:59,540
believe you are shaken.
Any abilities that you, any

90
00:04:59,540 --> 00:05:01,740
general abilities that you roll
for are plus one.

91
00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:04,300
Difficult, but he points it out
to you and you don't see

92
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:07,340
anything in particular.
He seems to be acting kind of

93
00:05:07,940 --> 00:05:11,260
mad.
Is the boiler on?

94
00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:12,380
Is it?
Is it running?

95
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:15,020
No, it's not on.
It's it's it's a summer day in

96
00:05:15,020 --> 00:05:16,980
Los Angeles.
The the boiler is not on.

97
00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:22,380
Is there a way to open it, to
look inside of it?

98
00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:25,140
You can try to open it up.
Yeah, yeah, you could do that.

99
00:05:25,340 --> 00:05:27,780
All right.
I will opening it up, it looks.

100
00:05:27,940 --> 00:05:29,780
I mean, you're not.
You're no boiler expert.

101
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:33,060
I'm not a boiler expert, but it
seems like a typical boiler.

102
00:05:33,180 --> 00:05:36,420
It seems OK, I just thought
maybe there'd be some crazy.

103
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,640
Parts inside or something like
that we've seen before, but no,

104
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,000
no.
OK that that could make sense.

105
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,120
But no.
If there are any crazy parts,

106
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,080
they might have been in those
boxes that were here, but there

107
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,880
are no longer any boxes here.
Yeah.

108
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,200
OK.
So where do the boxes go?

109
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,960
Where did the boxes go?
Well, let's try the roof.

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,840
Are we sure?
Sure what?

111
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,840
How?
How would he hide things on the

112
00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:59,560
roof?
Well, I guess he could do

113
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,450
something to the roof itself.
Already got a tarp?

114
00:06:02,810 --> 00:06:04,770
All right.
Well, there might be sometimes

115
00:06:04,970 --> 00:06:09,090
roofs have like storage areas on
them, those types of things.

116
00:06:09,170 --> 00:06:11,410
Well, so long as I'm not the one
climbing the ladder.

117
00:06:11,690 --> 00:06:13,290
Well, there are stairs that lead
up to the roof.

118
00:06:13,290 --> 00:06:16,250
There are stairs.
I'll be explaining my theory on

119
00:06:16,530 --> 00:06:20,020
this note on the way up.
Oh yeah, you're you're talking

120
00:06:20,020 --> 00:06:21,260
about the note?
Yeah.

121
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,860
What do you say about it?
Well, if this has anything to do

122
00:06:23,860 --> 00:06:26,380
with anything, it looks like he
was trying to figure out

123
00:06:26,380 --> 00:06:28,700
something to do with the
ultimate chaos.

124
00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:31,540
And as a thought, and really I'm
getting the impression that this

125
00:06:31,540 --> 00:06:33,580
Why scope thing wasn't safe at
all.

126
00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:35,420
What?
What are you talking about?

127
00:06:35,420 --> 00:06:39,780
What is as a thought and
whatever your what is this?

128
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,180
Oh, right.
It's probably best if you don't

129
00:06:42,180 --> 00:06:43,100
know.
I don't.

130
00:06:43,340 --> 00:06:45,020
I don't know if the reporter is
gonna take that.

131
00:06:45,140 --> 00:06:49,700
Yeah, no, I'm not explain.
Oh, it's like this, You know,

132
00:06:49,780 --> 00:06:52,860
Weird God and his blind idiot
God at the center of the

133
00:06:52,860 --> 00:06:54,660
universe.
But according to this note,

134
00:06:54,780 --> 00:06:56,980
Ultimate Chaos doesn't like
specificity like that.

135
00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:59,700
Yeah, it's it's a basketball,
Huh.

136
00:07:00,140 --> 00:07:01,930
What?
You know what?

137
00:07:01,930 --> 00:07:04,090
I think this is making sense
that your mind has cracked

138
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:08,810
slightly.
Yeah, yeah, because basketball.

139
00:07:09,890 --> 00:07:12,490
OK, As you make your way up to
the roof, there is indeed a

140
00:07:12,490 --> 00:07:14,090
little storage area up on the
roof.

141
00:07:15,050 --> 00:07:16,770
All right, I'm going to.
Is it locked?

142
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:20,010
Is it?
It's actually it's unlocked and

143
00:07:20,010 --> 00:07:23,090
when you look inside, I'm not
going to ask, you do see that

144
00:07:23,090 --> 00:07:24,770
there were probably boxes here
as well.

145
00:07:25,810 --> 00:07:26,770
Darn it.
All right.

146
00:07:27,260 --> 00:07:30,380
Shoot.
OK, so where did he take the

147
00:07:30,380 --> 00:07:32,620
boxes?
There's got to be some place

148
00:07:32,620 --> 00:07:34,780
we're not thinking of.
Well, maybe we talked to his

149
00:07:34,780 --> 00:07:36,180
mom.
Work her over a little bit and

150
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:39,140
she'll tell us.
I still think going to that shop

151
00:07:39,140 --> 00:07:40,980
is worth at least a little bit
of a try.

152
00:07:41,380 --> 00:07:43,820
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, the the place where he

153
00:07:43,820 --> 00:07:44,820
used to work.
Yeah.

154
00:07:45,140 --> 00:07:46,780
Actually, no.
No, actually, I think you're

155
00:07:46,780 --> 00:07:48,460
right.
But let's ask his mom and see if

156
00:07:48,460 --> 00:07:51,820
there's any other place.
But she didn't seem, she didn't

157
00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:54,420
seem to think of anything
besides that.

158
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:56,460
All right, so we'll go back to
his mom and.

159
00:07:56,870 --> 00:08:00,310
And just ask if there's any
other place that maybe he

160
00:08:00,310 --> 00:08:03,870
frequented or was familiar with.
Some place that he felt

161
00:08:03,870 --> 00:08:07,030
comfortable.
He never really felt comfortable

162
00:08:07,030 --> 00:08:10,510
anywhere.
I think Williams brought him

163
00:08:10,510 --> 00:08:14,590
around to the he never seemed
particularly comfortable.

164
00:08:14,590 --> 00:08:20,870
I know that he made friends
with, he was friends with the

165
00:08:21,750 --> 00:08:26,390
Mr. Vok.
He actually used to room here

166
00:08:26,850 --> 00:08:29,330
and that's that's actually how
they they got to know each

167
00:08:29,330 --> 00:08:31,850
other.
That's why he was at that party

168
00:08:31,850 --> 00:08:39,570
when when Mr. Vox wife died and
they say that he killed him but

169
00:08:39,809 --> 00:08:42,530
it must have been something
those rich people were doing to

170
00:08:42,570 --> 00:08:44,730
him.
I he would occasionally go to

171
00:08:44,730 --> 00:08:46,810
those parties, but that's that's
all I know.

172
00:08:46,810 --> 00:08:49,370
He he was friends with with Mr.
Vox.

173
00:08:49,610 --> 00:08:51,130
Do we know?
Sorry, out of character?

174
00:08:51,130 --> 00:08:54,250
Do we know if Vox and Williams?
Were they connected?

175
00:08:54,250 --> 00:08:57,790
Was Vox at the party?
Or the At the unveiling, Vok was

176
00:08:57,790 --> 00:09:00,430
not at the party, no.
No, he wasn't at the unveiling.

177
00:09:01,150 --> 00:09:03,630
OK?
So maybe VOK.

178
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:05,470
I mean, he was over there
talking with those folks.

179
00:09:05,470 --> 00:09:08,470
Maybe that was something,
something we got to check out,

180
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:10,470
OK.
I agree.

181
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:14,310
Where would you like to go?
Should we go check out the for

182
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:16,150
the Vox now?
Seem like a product.

183
00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:19,070
They're involved in some way
here, but maybe we should go

184
00:09:19,070 --> 00:09:20,950
check out the old place where
used to work.

185
00:09:21,310 --> 00:09:23,150
What do you think?
Well, Mrs. Vok is certainly

186
00:09:23,150 --> 00:09:24,870
involved.
Well, yeah.

187
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,520
She was murdered.
So you want to go to the old the

188
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,560
tool and die shop where he where
he was working?

189
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,600
Yes.
I'll drive us over room, room.

190
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,240
You get there a right around
when the shop is getting ready

191
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,360
to close.
It's sort of in the evening at

192
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,440
this point.
Perfect.

193
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,120
No customers to get in our way.
A gruff, sort of heavy set

194
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,160
Hispanic gentleman is agreed to
as you come into the door, he

195
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,040
says.
I'm sorry, we're not going to be

196
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,160
able to do any more jobs today.
If you're looking to buy

197
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,480
something, look around.
But we got to be we're closing

198
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,760
in about half an hour.
No, no.

199
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:02,520
Hey, hey.
Sorry.

200
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,040
I'm just we got some questions
about a guy that used to work

201
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:05,640
here.
Fern.

202
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:07,320
Fern.
Yeah, Fern.

203
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,120
Oh, that weirdo.
Yeah.

204
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,680
When's the last time you seen
him?

205
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,800
Few months ago.
There was a professor.

206
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,000
Gentleman came in, talked about
how great he was, and then Fern

207
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,680
just quit on the spot.
That's the main reason I

208
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,080
remember him.
He was in the middle of doing a

209
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,000
job.
He quit on the spot to go work

210
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,830
for this Williams guy.
So he, did he have a an area of

211
00:10:27,830 --> 00:10:29,710
the shop that he worked in?
Did he have, you know, some

212
00:10:29,710 --> 00:10:31,590
place that was kind of special
to him?

213
00:10:31,830 --> 00:10:34,790
Yeah, that he stored stuff here.
No, no.

214
00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:36,790
And I mean he he quit months
ago.

215
00:10:36,790 --> 00:10:39,390
We don't really have anything
left of his around.

216
00:10:39,550 --> 00:10:41,390
I'm sorry, I.
No, no, no.

217
00:10:41,390 --> 00:10:43,110
That's think that.
I'm sorry, are you looking?

218
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:45,590
Did he leave something around?
I don't think he left anything.

219
00:10:45,830 --> 00:10:47,550
No, no, he ain't seen him in a
while.

220
00:10:47,550 --> 00:10:50,950
He didn't have any keys to the
place he had a key, but he

221
00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:52,710
turned it in.
What was he any good at?

222
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:55,810
The job, oh, he had a quite a
mind.

223
00:10:56,370 --> 00:10:58,970
Problem was he was always, I
always caught him trying to work

224
00:10:58,970 --> 00:11:00,730
on, like, side projects around
here.

225
00:11:01,010 --> 00:11:02,530
I'd always have to yell at him
about that.

226
00:11:03,210 --> 00:11:05,810
Whatever happened there?
Did he find a better spot for

227
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:06,890
it?
Where did he?

228
00:11:06,890 --> 00:11:09,090
Where'd he train?
Well, he doesn't work here

229
00:11:09,090 --> 00:11:10,650
anymore.
I don't know what to tell you.

230
00:11:11,010 --> 00:11:12,690
Really.
I don't know.

231
00:11:13,090 --> 00:11:15,490
I I almost feel like I might be
a dead end.

232
00:11:15,610 --> 00:11:17,930
Oh, that's unfortunate.
Yeah, I got that pipe.

233
00:11:20,130 --> 00:11:21,370
All right.
Well, thanks for your help.

234
00:11:24,740 --> 00:11:25,300
All right.
Yeah.

235
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:26,780
So, well, thank, thank you for
your help.

236
00:11:26,940 --> 00:11:29,420
All right.
So let's head over to the VOK

237
00:11:29,740 --> 00:11:35,340
Estate Mansion House apartment.
He lives in a manner on the edge

238
00:11:35,340 --> 00:11:39,740
of town, but are you just going
to, like, drive up?

239
00:11:40,060 --> 00:11:43,180
Yeah.
Hey, whatever works.

240
00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:46,590
All right, It's like 630 now.
Perfect.

241
00:11:46,670 --> 00:11:51,350
You reach the gate and a a sort
of servant looks up.

242
00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:55,590
It says, Can I help you,
gentlemen and and Madam?

243
00:11:56,350 --> 00:11:57,430
Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry.

244
00:11:57,630 --> 00:12:00,230
It's.
I'm Chip Stone with Los Angeles

245
00:12:00,230 --> 00:12:02,110
Times.
Again, A few questions we'd like

246
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:04,590
to ask you about the incident
that happened last night, and

247
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:09,780
about about Fern.
No, I'm sorry I wasn't working

248
00:12:09,780 --> 00:12:12,260
here last night.
You would have to, and honestly,

249
00:12:12,260 --> 00:12:15,540
you would need to speak to Mr.
Voch.

250
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:19,260
He's currently, I think he's
still at work in the sanitarium

251
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:20,940
at the moment.
If you'd like, we could try to

252
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:24,740
set up an appointment to to meet
with him tomorrow, I suppose.

253
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:26,940
Yeah, yeah, that that that'd be
great.

254
00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:31,980
It would be better to to meet
with him at the the sanitarium.

255
00:12:31,980 --> 00:12:34,220
But I'll let you, I'll let him
know that.

256
00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:35,820
I'm sorry.
What's your name, Sir?

257
00:12:37,130 --> 00:12:39,610
Chip.
Well, people call me Chip.

258
00:12:39,610 --> 00:12:42,210
Charles Stone, Los Angeles
Times.

259
00:12:42,370 --> 00:12:45,450
Oh, the Times, of course.
Of course I don't.

260
00:12:45,770 --> 00:12:48,690
He is a bit sensitive about
what's going on.

261
00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:50,730
But if he's.
Of course, yeah.

262
00:12:50,730 --> 00:12:54,330
We would just want to make sure
we explain what happened in the

263
00:12:54,330 --> 00:12:58,010
most sensitive light and we are
aware of of the Vox family and

264
00:12:58,010 --> 00:12:59,850
we don't, you know, we want to
make sure.

265
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,960
Everything is on the up and up
and that we paint the family in

266
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,120
a favorable light of course, But
you know we got a few questions

267
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,320
of course.
Well, I will leave a message for

268
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,160
him.
Is there a number that I could

269
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,040
reach you at that we could try
to call you?

270
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,960
Yes, of course.
Here's my card.

271
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,760
All right.
Thank you.

272
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,960
I will be in touch with him.
I I can't promise that he will

273
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,920
call you back, but thank you.
No, of course.

274
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:26,780
Offer him our sincerest
condolences as well.

275
00:13:26,820 --> 00:13:28,300
He's a colleague of mine, I
think.

276
00:13:28,540 --> 00:13:30,700
Yes, yes.
Well, not Vok.

277
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:32,380
I don't think Vok would be a
colleague of yours.

278
00:13:32,380 --> 00:13:34,500
Vok works at the sanitarium.
Oh, right.

279
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:35,580
Yeah.
Hey, Chip.

280
00:13:35,660 --> 00:13:37,380
Yes.
You don't, you know, it's 6:00

281
00:13:37,380 --> 00:13:39,260
O'clock in Los Angeles in the
summer.

282
00:13:39,260 --> 00:13:43,500
You know, the sun is not down,
but you do see the moon in the

283
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:44,580
sky.
You know, it's one of those days

284
00:13:44,580 --> 00:13:46,100
you can sort of see the moon
that's up there.

285
00:13:46,220 --> 00:13:47,580
Sure, sure.
Is it?

286
00:13:47,580 --> 00:13:48,780
Give us?
Yeah.

287
00:13:48,780 --> 00:13:51,580
And you can't.
At first you get the feeling

288
00:13:51,580 --> 00:13:54,300
that something's watching you.
You don't really know what it is

289
00:13:54,380 --> 00:13:56,180
like Something above you is
looking at you.

290
00:13:56,540 --> 00:13:58,540
Something and then.
All right.

291
00:13:58,620 --> 00:14:02,140
I look around and then
eventually you look up and you

292
00:14:02,140 --> 00:14:06,700
see that the moon has one huge
eye.

293
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:12,300
It's staring down just at you.
No, you see it for a moment, it

294
00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:15,540
fixes its pitiless gaze upon
you, and then a blink shut.

295
00:14:15,780 --> 00:14:18,420
Yes, this is a loss of a
potential loss of four.

296
00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:19,860
So.
Well, I'm gonna.

297
00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:22,470
I'll spend some points.
I'll spend two points on this,

298
00:14:22,670 --> 00:14:24,830
this for this, because I'm
afraid that this is going to be

299
00:14:24,950 --> 00:14:28,150
a lot for me.
So yeah, I've got, I've got a

300
00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:32,550
five with my 3 + 2 is 5.
Is that enough?

301
00:14:32,630 --> 00:14:36,750
So you are good, Yeah.
But you definitely saw this.

302
00:14:36,950 --> 00:14:38,110
Or maybe I didn't I?
Yeah.

303
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:41,070
Maybe you're just tired.
I've reconciled.

304
00:14:39,190 --> 00:14:42,390
Maybe you're just.
I'm probably tired.

305
00:14:42,390 --> 00:14:45,930
It's probably it.
Look, I'm just gonna, instead of

306
00:14:45,970 --> 00:14:48,850
walking directly to the car, I
want to do a little sneaky

307
00:14:48,850 --> 00:14:54,170
sneaky and see if there's maybe
a servants entrance or yeah, you

308
00:14:54,170 --> 00:14:55,690
could do that.
Absolutely.

309
00:14:55,890 --> 00:14:57,490
I could do shadowing or filt
here.

310
00:14:57,610 --> 00:14:59,530
Yeah, shadowing would be
sneaking around.

311
00:14:59,530 --> 00:15:00,690
There you go.
If you'd like to make a

312
00:15:00,690 --> 00:15:04,050
shadowing, roll difficulty 3 so
you know you can spend the

313
00:15:04,050 --> 00:15:05,930
points in advance.
In fact, you could spend two

314
00:15:05,930 --> 00:15:08,050
points if you'd like and assure
that you'll succeed.

315
00:15:08,090 --> 00:15:10,210
I'm gonna spend 2 same.
Yeah, I'm spent two.

316
00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:11,930
I got six so.
Bye, Helen.

317
00:15:12,210 --> 00:15:14,050
Helen, are you gonna try to
sneak around?

318
00:15:14,210 --> 00:15:19,330
Yes, not going to go great, but
I am going to try what you got.

319
00:15:19,730 --> 00:15:20,570
6.
OK.

320
00:15:20,650 --> 00:15:21,810
There you go, that one pretty
well.

321
00:15:22,650 --> 00:15:26,610
There is a you can sort of sneak
around, you actually find a sort

322
00:15:26,610 --> 00:15:30,610
of hole in the the the fence
around you could get in there

323
00:15:30,610 --> 00:15:33,170
and in fact a sneak your way
into a servants entrance if you

324
00:15:33,170 --> 00:15:34,490
would like.
Yeah, absolutely.

325
00:15:34,730 --> 00:15:35,890
OK.
Never been a fan of

326
00:15:35,890 --> 00:15:37,890
appointments.
You make your way inside the

327
00:15:37,890 --> 00:15:39,730
house.
It's not like there's a ton of

328
00:15:39,730 --> 00:15:41,450
servants.
It's not like a huge manner or

329
00:15:41,450 --> 00:15:42,690
anything.
It looks like they just have,

330
00:15:42,770 --> 00:15:45,850
you know, maybe two people who
work for them and they're not

331
00:15:45,970 --> 00:15:49,850
really around.
The issue is the door is locked

332
00:15:50,330 --> 00:15:52,090
when you get up to the servants
entrance.

333
00:15:52,170 --> 00:15:53,850
Could I spend some scuffle
points on it?

334
00:15:54,090 --> 00:15:56,130
I don't know if that's what you
would want to do.

335
00:15:56,130 --> 00:15:58,490
If any of you are a locksmith,
you could maybe try to pick the

336
00:15:58,490 --> 00:15:59,730
lock.
Or I can't.

337
00:15:59,730 --> 00:16:00,490
Yeah.
OK.

338
00:16:00,530 --> 00:16:02,050
I got a locksmith.
All right, you know what?

339
00:16:02,050 --> 00:16:03,970
I'll let you get in.
You're knowledgeable enough.

340
00:16:03,970 --> 00:16:05,050
Yeah.
It's not a particularly

341
00:16:05,050 --> 00:16:07,650
complicated lock.
All right, You can get in.

342
00:16:07,730 --> 00:16:10,650
It's, you know, quiet inside
Again.

343
00:16:10,650 --> 00:16:14,050
It seems like the Mr. Vock is
not here.

344
00:16:14,290 --> 00:16:17,770
As you're looking around, you do
see the the dining room is one

345
00:16:17,770 --> 00:16:20,010
of the first places you come
across, and you do see that

346
00:16:20,010 --> 00:16:23,290
there are some blood stains on
the carpet there.

347
00:16:23,290 --> 00:16:25,690
Anything in particular?
Any place you would want to look

348
00:16:25,690 --> 00:16:27,690
around here?
Anything you'd want to look for?

349
00:16:27,890 --> 00:16:31,610
Yeah, like if there's like we're
looking for boxes there.

350
00:16:31,610 --> 00:16:33,050
At least that's what I'm looking
for, to see.

351
00:16:33,050 --> 00:16:35,010
If looking for boxes, yes of
course.

352
00:16:35,210 --> 00:16:36,490
Let's spoke about.
See what we can.

353
00:16:36,490 --> 00:16:40,440
Find so you Know places.
You know, places people would

354
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,760
get.
I assume they would just keep

355
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,720
them out in the open.
They're probably on a cellar.

356
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,280
They would be in a closet
somewhere, maybe in a backroom.

357
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,640
You succeeded at your shadowy
test, so you're able to sort of

358
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,760
move around quietly in here.
Unfortunately, you can't really

359
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,160
find any boxes, and at least
nothing that looks like the

360
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,440
mechanical parts.
Boxes that you would think that

361
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,000
by our murderer.
Is there?

362
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,680
There's nothing else, nothing
else that seems out of the

363
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,079
ordinary that we find there.
Nothing in particular, I mean,

364
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:13,760
it just looks like a well off
couples house.

365
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,319
You do notice they have separate
beds.

366
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,480
Ouch.
Well, you know, that's that's

367
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,920
not the kind of thing that we're
looking for here, so.

368
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,720
But it is juicy.
It is juicy.

369
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,320
Well, let's let's go back out
the way we came in and.

370
00:17:35,410 --> 00:17:37,650
You know, head on down to the
sanitarium.

371
00:17:37,770 --> 00:17:40,810
By the time you get to the
sanitarium, it'll be about 7:00

372
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:43,530
o'clock.
Well hopefully maybe he's he's

373
00:17:43,530 --> 00:17:46,090
done being processed by this
point and we might be able to

374
00:17:46,090 --> 00:17:49,730
get in and orderly greet you at
the door and says I'm sorry

375
00:17:49,730 --> 00:17:52,730
visiting hours are over for the
day we're not really taking

376
00:17:52,730 --> 00:17:56,130
anybody we need to start getting
the the patients quieted down if

377
00:17:56,410 --> 00:17:58,730
you could come back tomorrow.
I think you could make an

378
00:17:58,730 --> 00:18:00,770
exception for us.
Well, right.

379
00:18:00,770 --> 00:18:03,890
No, we're actually here to talk
to Dr. Vox.

380
00:18:05,450 --> 00:18:09,890
I'm, I'm started.
Doctor Vok is is extremely busy.

381
00:18:10,490 --> 00:18:15,050
He actually just left as well,
so you'll need to speak to him.

382
00:18:15,210 --> 00:18:18,090
You need to go to his home if
you wanted to speak to him.

383
00:18:18,290 --> 00:18:22,410
Assess honesty.
That orderly has no reason to

384
00:18:22,410 --> 00:18:25,090
lie to you about this, and he is
not lying.

385
00:18:25,210 --> 00:18:28,210
We literally just missed him.
Son of a bitch.

386
00:18:29,670 --> 00:18:31,430
I'm sorry.
If you want to come back during

387
00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:34,430
visiting hours, the around 11:00
tomorrow.

388
00:18:34,430 --> 00:18:35,190
All right.
Thank you.

389
00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:39,630
I was thinking I'd use
intimidation to get to visit

390
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:41,910
with our Fern fella.
Oh, oh.

391
00:18:42,030 --> 00:18:44,230
My God.
All right.

392
00:18:44,550 --> 00:18:46,670
You could try to do that.
I think you're going to make an

393
00:18:46,670 --> 00:18:48,670
exception for us on those
visiting hours.

394
00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:51,110
Do you want to spend a point of
intimidation on this guy?

395
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:51,830
Sorry.
What was that?

396
00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:53,390
I'm sorry.
Do you want to spend a point of

397
00:18:53,390 --> 00:18:55,670
intimidation?
Because just normal intimidation

398
00:18:55,670 --> 00:18:58,070
is not going to do it, but if
you really get threatening.

399
00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:59,990
I will absolutely spend.
Point I've got 2.

400
00:18:59,990 --> 00:19:01,070
They're just sitting there doing
nothing.

401
00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:03,270
How do you intimidate?
Oh, the thing I just said.

402
00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:04,190
What do you say?
Say it again.

403
00:19:04,350 --> 00:19:07,150
I think you're gonna make a
exception for us regarding those

404
00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:09,750
visiting hours.
I'll just flex a little bit and,

405
00:19:10,030 --> 00:19:12,750
you know, crack my knuckles.
Oh yeah, physically.

406
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:17,270
He's physically threatened me.
Just physically threatening the

407
00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:20,670
guy, yes.
I thought you were gonna, like,

408
00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:22,870
threaten to get him fired or
something like that.

409
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:24,470
Oh.
No, no, no, no.

410
00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:28,140
This is a kneecap situation.
OK, got it.

411
00:19:28,220 --> 00:19:31,060
Do you have like a weapon?
Do you like, pull a gun on this

412
00:19:31,060 --> 00:19:32,100
guy or something?
Or?

413
00:19:32,260 --> 00:19:34,220
I am the weapon.
Oh, you are the weapon.

414
00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:36,980
Hey, I'm a professor with a lot
of points and physical things.

415
00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:41,940
Hey, whatever works.
I sure I I can.

416
00:19:41,980 --> 00:19:45,140
You need to talk to the the new
guy who just got in.

417
00:19:45,260 --> 00:19:47,820
That is correct.
I could you could ask him like 2

418
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:50,340
questions, OK.
But then you have to be going.

419
00:19:50,340 --> 00:19:52,100
Work for you guys?
We got two questions.

420
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:53,660
Let's make them count all.
Right.

421
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,280
This is not how I thought this
is gonna go.

422
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,560
I thought you were gonna be him
the next day.

423
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,520
But whatever.
I'll let you spend a point to

424
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,280
threaten the guy.
That certainly won't come back

425
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,520
and bite you later.
It definitely won't make you

426
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,600
unwelcome here.
That's good, good stuff.

427
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:10,600
Glad to hear it.
Speed.

428
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,000
Run speed.
Run stress.

429
00:20:15,580 --> 00:20:17,780
Oh, I'm going to tip this
orderly on the way.

430
00:20:18,620 --> 00:20:20,940
You're going to threaten him and
then you're going to tip him,

431
00:20:20,980 --> 00:20:22,780
yes.
Hopefully that'll that'll

432
00:20:23,420 --> 00:20:26,300
balance out to Annette doesn't
get us banned forever.

433
00:20:27,340 --> 00:20:32,620
Thank you for your cooperation.
Fern has just now been admitted

434
00:20:33,220 --> 00:20:35,580
into here.
He was in state custody for a

435
00:20:35,580 --> 00:20:37,860
little while, but he's recently
been put in here.

436
00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:44,220
He is in an agitative state as
you come in there and.

437
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,280
He sort of looks up and is
surprised and shocked to see

438
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,640
anybody even visiting him.
The orderly that says all right,

439
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,480
be done with him quickly.
He looks up at you just a little

440
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,680
confused all.
Right.

441
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,960
What should we ask?
Hello.

442
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,160
What?
What's going on?

443
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,040
Well, we're here to ask you some
questions.

444
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,360
I'm gonna start by reassuring
here.

445
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,720
I'm gonna start by reassuring
him that we're not here to hurt

446
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,060
him, just.
I don't want this to go too

447
00:21:14,060 --> 00:21:16,220
horribly.
I don't.

448
00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:20,180
I don't want to hurt anyone
either.

449
00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:27,180
You were there.
You saw it too, right?

450
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:29,900
We did, yes.
Yeah.

451
00:21:29,900 --> 00:21:31,300
But we didn't kill anybody
though for it.

452
00:21:31,810 --> 00:21:37,130
I I know, I I remember this is
vok was passing the sugar and

453
00:21:37,250 --> 00:21:39,530
the next thing I remember I was
covered in blood.

454
00:21:39,730 --> 00:21:43,810
I oh God, oh Jesus.
Look, I had some questions about

455
00:21:43,810 --> 00:21:47,810
your your device that you built.
When you when you built the

456
00:21:47,810 --> 00:21:52,970
device, there was extra stuff,
extra parts like you were going

457
00:21:52,970 --> 00:21:55,250
to build multiple devices.
Did you?

458
00:21:55,650 --> 00:21:58,370
What I don't I don't understand
what you're talking about.

459
00:21:58,490 --> 00:22:00,650
Is he being truthful about that?
What?

460
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,400
Is he being truthful about that?
He genuinely doesn't know what

461
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,480
we mean.
He is extremely agitated and

462
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,640
he's working overtime to appear
calm and sane because that's all

463
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,560
you could really get with your
assess honesty that he is

464
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,320
putting on a show with all of
this, which means it's on.

465
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,400
You can't quite tell.
Is he lying about that or is he

466
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,760
just lying about feeling better?
But I think you maybe already

467
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,760
have your ideas about if he's
lying about that.

468
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,340
Sure, sure.
Look the X-ray scope, the device

469
00:22:33,340 --> 00:22:35,340
that you built for Professor
Williams.

470
00:22:35,660 --> 00:22:40,820
The the Y scope, yes.
OK, look it on your forms.

471
00:22:41,340 --> 00:22:44,340
It showed that you ordered
multiple parts, enough to build

472
00:22:44,340 --> 00:22:47,420
multiple machines.
What happened to those extra

473
00:22:47,420 --> 00:22:50,220
parts?
I I ordered those for.

474
00:22:50,630 --> 00:22:56,070
For Williams, I Williams wanted
spare parts so we could could

475
00:22:56,070 --> 00:22:59,470
make more.
He was going to set up them up

476
00:22:59,670 --> 00:23:02,960
in in in a laboratory.
Yeah.

477
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,760
Where's this laboratory I?
I don't know.

478
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,040
I I I just gave him the parts.
Like I can't, I can't remember

479
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,080
anymore.
Right.

480
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,640
Do you do you hear it?
Don't you hear it?

481
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,640
Hear what?
And he he looks up as if he's

482
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,480
listening.
No to something.

483
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,080
Does Helen hear it?
Oh, Helen, you hear it, by the

484
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,320
way.
You've been hearing it the whole

485
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,280
time, by the way.
Helen.

486
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,240
Oh.
Great.

487
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,680
For asking, we're gonna have
another stability check.

488
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,720
Of course.
Difficulty 3.

489
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:31,040
Possible loss of three,
Difficulty 4.

490
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,500
Gotcha.
Who I did not succeed that.

491
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:35,020
Perfect.
You hear the music.

492
00:23:35,020 --> 00:23:39,060
It's getting louder.
Williams did something with that

493
00:23:39,060 --> 00:23:41,700
device.
We need to to stop it before

494
00:23:41,780 --> 00:23:45,220
Williams did.
Yes, I I need to be put away for

495
00:23:45,220 --> 00:23:47,460
life because of the things that
I saw you.

496
00:23:47,580 --> 00:23:50,020
You need to be careful.
Does it have something to do

497
00:23:50,020 --> 00:23:54,060
with Ultimate Chaos?
At that phrase you see that he

498
00:23:54,060 --> 00:23:56,020
is surprised that you saying
that.

499
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,760
But then he immediately sort of
goes back into his sort of a

500
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,680
look, I suppose.
I I I was made.

501
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,360
I I feel chaotic and mad.
Yeah.

502
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,720
Does the name, as a thought mean
anything to you?

503
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,520
He starts yelling and pounding
his head against the wall as you

504
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,880
say that.
There we go.

505
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:17,560
Oh geez, there we go.
And the order looks like OK, we

506
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,320
we can't be doing this anymore.
You guys got to get out of here.

507
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,360
All right.
Thank you again.

508
00:24:23,970 --> 00:24:26,610
Would you like to spend the
point of Assess honesty?

509
00:24:26,970 --> 00:24:30,250
Yes, please.
Yeah, yeah, I am unable to.

510
00:24:30,850 --> 00:24:33,570
I can't.
He made a big when you asked

511
00:24:33,570 --> 00:24:37,250
about as a soft, he started
putting on a show.

512
00:24:37,450 --> 00:24:40,570
He was.
That was not a that was not a

513
00:24:40,570 --> 00:24:44,390
genuine reaction.
OK, so we're we got to get out

514
00:24:44,390 --> 00:24:46,910
of there obviously now so.
Get out of here.

515
00:24:46,910 --> 00:24:47,910
Get it.
Get out of here.

516
00:24:48,110 --> 00:24:50,990
I Sprint out.
And I think that's probably your

517
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:54,190
day, unless you want to do
anything late into the day here.

518
00:24:54,630 --> 00:24:59,430
Yeah, no, no, we'll wait to talk
to the so it seems like I just

519
00:24:59,430 --> 00:25:01,790
want to talk with them after we
leave the place.

520
00:25:01,990 --> 00:25:05,710
It seems like he he's lying.
He's pretending he's insane and

521
00:25:05,710 --> 00:25:07,630
he's not.
Yeah, that's quite the twist.

522
00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:11,250
So.
I mean, he wrote all the stuff

523
00:25:11,250 --> 00:25:14,650
about, you know, chaos and has
thought, and it seemed like that

524
00:25:14,650 --> 00:25:17,690
facade slipped a few times that
he was there.

525
00:25:18,010 --> 00:25:19,930
He was trying to pin this on
Williams.

526
00:25:20,330 --> 00:25:22,330
I don't think Williams knows
what the Hell's going on,

527
00:25:22,690 --> 00:25:25,210
especially since his blueprints
didn't match what we saw.

528
00:25:25,210 --> 00:25:28,690
So I'm going to stick with him.
I'm inclined to agree.

529
00:25:29,170 --> 00:25:33,650
Now, my gut instinct is telling
me that Vox is it.

530
00:25:33,970 --> 00:25:35,930
Maybe I'm saying it wrong.
It's not, is it?

531
00:25:36,330 --> 00:25:40,070
VOK, VOK.
VOCK, Voc.

532
00:25:40,270 --> 00:25:43,710
Bach, Bach, VOC.
VOC.

533
00:25:43,710 --> 00:25:49,190
OK, VOC is somehow involved with
this, and maybe him being

534
00:25:49,190 --> 00:25:53,390
institutionalized is exactly
what he wants to happen.

535
00:25:53,590 --> 00:25:56,230
VOC would be involved even
though it led to the death of

536
00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:58,350
his wife.
Yeah, some people don't like

537
00:25:58,350 --> 00:26:01,390
their wives very much.
In fact, they had separate beds.

538
00:26:01,470 --> 00:26:04,110
They did have separate beds.
They are sleeping in two

539
00:26:04,110 --> 00:26:06,870
separate beds.
It doesn't confirm anything, but

540
00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:09,400
it is possible.
Yeah, we got to find out if

541
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,400
there's a this location,
wherever these boxes are, that's

542
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,520
that's going to be the key and
whoever owns that property is

543
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,400
going to help us know who's
involved in this.

544
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,960
So the next step is to try and
figure out where those boxes

545
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,760
went.
And I think voxes are only real

546
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,920
lead here.
Well, so do we sneak around his

547
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,280
house.
It's probably bedtime, unless

548
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,040
you want to go back to the Vaca
state, yeah.

549
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,280
Yeah, yeah.
No, it's bedtime.

550
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,120
No, no, no.
I mean, we know he's there.

551
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:38,860
Maybe we should sneak in again.
I don't know about roughing him

552
00:26:38,860 --> 00:26:42,980
up, because, you know, this is
just the this is a gut, a guess.

553
00:26:42,980 --> 00:26:44,780
We don't really have any proof
to back this up.

554
00:26:45,060 --> 00:26:45,820
What?
What do you got?

555
00:26:45,820 --> 00:26:48,540
What do you think, Helen?
You seem like a little bit more

556
00:26:48,540 --> 00:26:50,260
reasonable.
Thank you.

557
00:26:51,460 --> 00:26:53,660
That said, I definitely don't
think we should resort to

558
00:26:53,660 --> 00:26:55,900
violence anytime soon, if that's
what you're asking.

559
00:26:57,140 --> 00:27:00,060
Well, no, no, no.
Just should we wait tonight?

560
00:27:00,260 --> 00:27:02,660
Should we go tonight and and and
talk to him there?

561
00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:04,340
I mean, maybe this is a good
opportunity.

562
00:27:04,340 --> 00:27:06,300
It's going to be evening.
Maybe he's a bit relaxed.

563
00:27:06,890 --> 00:27:08,970
I'll just tell you guys, you're
not gonna be able to talk to

564
00:27:08,970 --> 00:27:09,530
him.
They're not.

565
00:27:09,610 --> 00:27:10,890
He's not gonna let you win.
That's fair.

566
00:27:11,050 --> 00:27:13,770
Yeah, I didn't think so.
Yeah, let's not waste our time

567
00:27:13,770 --> 00:27:15,090
on that.
Let's keep Let's keep moving.

568
00:27:15,370 --> 00:27:18,250
Let's get some sleep.
All right, You're gonna get some

569
00:27:18,250 --> 00:27:19,570
sleep.
You guys are gonna have some

570
00:27:19,570 --> 00:27:21,210
dreams.
Yay.

571
00:27:21,730 --> 00:27:25,050
Of course.
I need you to make some

572
00:27:25,050 --> 00:27:28,770
stability roles Difficulty 5.
Now it's getting harder.

573
00:27:29,930 --> 00:27:34,170
OK, let's roll that.
Difficulty 5 and keeping with

574
00:27:34,170 --> 00:27:39,130
the theme I ever came, failed.
Let's roll it 6:00.

575
00:27:39,370 --> 00:27:40,650
Nice.
Very nice.

576
00:27:41,210 --> 00:27:43,090
OK, you're good.
Five.

577
00:27:43,250 --> 00:27:45,170
I got a 5.
Bad dreams.

578
00:27:45,210 --> 00:27:47,610
Whatever.
Professor, you remember your

579
00:27:47,610 --> 00:27:49,290
dream this time.
No good stuff.

580
00:27:49,490 --> 00:27:53,810
You you didn't go to your
cousin's birthday party and

581
00:27:53,810 --> 00:27:57,530
because of that your cousin was
arrested and sentenced to death.

582
00:27:57,810 --> 00:28:01,010
You know, it doesn't really make
sense, you know, dreams and

583
00:28:01,010 --> 00:28:04,130
whatnot, but it is upsetting and
it's your fault.

584
00:28:04,510 --> 00:28:05,510
That he died.
Oops.

585
00:28:05,670 --> 00:28:06,950
Well, he wasn't my favorite
cousin.

586
00:28:07,030 --> 00:28:09,590
Lose 3 stability.
That brings me to minus 5.

587
00:28:09,630 --> 00:28:14,150
And also, while that is going
on, you feel a wait as you watch

588
00:28:14,150 --> 00:28:18,430
him be hung.
You notice that the gallows has

589
00:28:18,430 --> 00:28:21,430
too many sides on it the next
day.

590
00:28:22,110 --> 00:28:24,430
I assume you'll all get together
in the morning.

591
00:28:24,430 --> 00:28:25,950
Where were you guys planning on
meeting?

592
00:28:25,950 --> 00:28:30,750
Yeah, French Place.
Maybe at the sanitarium?

593
00:28:31,910 --> 00:28:33,990
Yeah, the sanitarium, cuz he's
got to come in.

594
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,560
For work.
So we'll maybe get try to get to

595
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,200
the parking lot early so that we
can get him at the parking lot.

596
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:47,440
You do receive you see a report
in the paper again your editor

597
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,520
actually calls you Chip.
It says OK, you got to tell me

598
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,960
what's going on with this
because a Mr. A doctor binder

599
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,520
who was one of the other people
at the the observation has just

600
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,960
been found having shot to death
a.

601
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,480
The Man in Chinatown.
He He shot a man to death in

602
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,560
Chinatown or he was shot by a
man in Chinatown?

603
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,360
He shot a man in Chinatown.
Oh, he's been looking at this

604
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,200
wrong, haven't we?
Well, not entirely, but.

605
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,480
What do you mean?
You should look into this and

606
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,280
everyone else who was there,
shouldn't we?

607
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,560
Well, you think that everyone
there, it was part of a plot.

608
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,840
You were there.
No, I think everyone who.

609
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:28,800
Yeah.
No, no, I.

610
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,480
I think everyone who was there
saw something they shouldn't

611
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,280
have.
Oh man, are we all gonna murder

612
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,240
each other.
God I.

613
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,320
Help not.
But look, yeah, I agree that

614
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,800
that those people who witnessed
what we saw, it's affecting us

615
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:41,920
as well.
I'm feeling it.

616
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,560
I know you're feeling it.
But we're not the perpetrators.

617
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,440
We're victims here.
And I believe you know the

618
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,400
Benders as well, without even
talking to him.

619
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,000
Somebody made this device
intentionally.

620
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,330
Well, obviously.
It's Fern.

621
00:29:58,330 --> 00:30:01,210
Fern did this, but definitely
did Fern do it on his own?

622
00:30:01,410 --> 00:30:03,250
Why is he making multiple
devices?

623
00:30:03,330 --> 00:30:05,290
Is this some kind of mind
control thing?

624
00:30:05,370 --> 00:30:07,930
Is that what's going on?
And if he can make multiple

625
00:30:07,930 --> 00:30:10,290
ones, that means he could have
lots of people under this mind

626
00:30:10,290 --> 00:30:13,490
control thing and have him do is
bidding like killing people.

627
00:30:13,690 --> 00:30:15,930
But he's but why would he use it
on himself?

628
00:30:15,930 --> 00:30:18,210
He wouldn't.
So that makes me think somebody

629
00:30:18,210 --> 00:30:22,210
else has these and that only the
only possible lead I've got is

630
00:30:22,210 --> 00:30:24,890
Fox.
Indeed, I don't think that any

631
00:30:24,890 --> 00:30:27,450
of these murders were done with
intention or.

632
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,160
At least I don't think mind
control is the exact right

633
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,200
answer here.
Seems really chaotic.

634
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,800
But definitely, somehow they're
being manipulated.

635
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,640
We should talk to Vox, yes.
Chip this morning, yes, As

636
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,480
you're heading towards the Yeah,
yeah, the sanitarium.

637
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,840
You feel like something's
looking at you again.

638
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,080
Something's watching you.
Ah.

639
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,320
God damn it, I'm not gonna look
up.

640
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,440
I'm not gonna look at the moon.
Well, it's not the moon.

641
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:51,920
Or the sky.
I'm just good.

642
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,400
Oh Jesus.
I need you to make a stability

643
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:55,840
check.
Something is watching you.

644
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,160
Difficulty 5 now possible.
The loss of.

645
00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,720
God.
OK, OK.

646
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,800
I'm going to not, not going to
spend any points on this.

647
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,040
Yeah, I'm going to just take the
hit.

648
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,920
If I do 05, I roll the five.
God, you're feeling really good

649
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,600
about this.
However, you do look up and you

650
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,600
see that now the sun, that there
is an eye in the sun staring

651
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,480
down at you.
And let's have you take one

652
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,680
point of health damage from
looking at the sun.

653
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,000
Oh my God Oh my eyes.
My eyes.

654
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,760
I know you didn't want to look,
but you can't help yourself.

655
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,120
I got an extra pair of
sunglasses in the car, man.

656
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,840
I can't help it.
That's fine.

657
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,080
That's fine.
Yeah, I should have.

658
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,200
Oh my God.
I've got 12 Health.

659
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,160
I'm a healthy guy.
Yeah, you'll be fine.

660
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,920
You'll be fine.
Everything's fine.

661
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,280
You can go negative in this
game.

662
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,280
Yeah, exactly.
So you reach the sanitarium and

663
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,320
what do you do?
We're gonna wait in the parking

664
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,240
lot to, you know, when he
arrives.

665
00:31:48,610 --> 00:31:51,850
To and then I I think we should
approach him before he gets into

666
00:31:51,850 --> 00:31:54,050
the ambushing.
Oh, interesting.

667
00:31:54,090 --> 00:31:55,890
You're trying to ambush.
Yeah, OK.

668
00:31:55,970 --> 00:31:58,610
Yeah, yeah, ambush him.
You succeed in doing this.

669
00:31:58,850 --> 00:32:03,930
You see Doctor Otto Vock.
He's got wildly tussled hair,

670
00:32:04,130 --> 00:32:07,890
deep set eyes at a bushy single
eyebrow.

671
00:32:08,170 --> 00:32:11,290
He's got a, he's got a sort of
charisma to him, but he wouldn't

672
00:32:11,290 --> 00:32:14,890
necessarily call him the
handsome and he's sort of

673
00:32:14,890 --> 00:32:17,690
getting out of his car and and
going into the sanitarium.

674
00:32:18,610 --> 00:32:20,530
And what do you do?
I jump out of the bushes.

675
00:32:20,810 --> 00:32:25,250
No, please, I don't know.
I am not the one who should be

676
00:32:25,250 --> 00:32:27,290
doing the talking here.
Clearly.

677
00:32:28,730 --> 00:32:32,290
Excuse me, excuse me please.
I must get to work.

678
00:32:32,330 --> 00:32:33,850
I'm sorry, we got some questions
for you.

679
00:32:33,930 --> 00:32:36,210
We've been trying to track you
down for much longer than you'd

680
00:32:36,210 --> 00:32:40,010
expect.
Well, if you need to speak with

681
00:32:40,010 --> 00:32:41,290
me, you could set up an
appointment.

682
00:32:41,450 --> 00:32:43,690
We do have an appointment.
We're just, you know, jumping

683
00:32:43,690 --> 00:32:45,330
the gun a little.
I don't have any appointments

684
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:46,890
today.
Oh, we're going to have to have

685
00:32:46,890 --> 00:32:50,330
some words with that servant.
This and this is about Fern and

686
00:32:50,330 --> 00:32:53,410
his cult practices.
A cult.

687
00:32:53,530 --> 00:32:55,490
Does that, does that, does that
get a rise out of him?

688
00:32:55,570 --> 00:32:57,330
Do I see?
Do I see him raising his?

689
00:32:57,650 --> 00:33:01,770
A Fern at a cult.
He's like, look, no, I I'm no

690
00:33:01,770 --> 00:33:04,010
young Ian, OK?
I don't believe in the occult,

691
00:33:04,010 --> 00:33:05,450
so I'm going to have to ask you
to leave.

692
00:33:05,730 --> 00:33:07,770
Does the name Azathoth mean
anything to you?

693
00:33:08,250 --> 00:33:11,170
He has no reaction to that.
Trying to assess honesty.

694
00:33:11,370 --> 00:33:13,560
In particular.
It's us honesty.

695
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,840
Does he seem like he's?
He is.

696
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,160
He feels uncomfortable by you
ambushing him in particular,

697
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,320
talking about.
Sure Ferd is making him

698
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,760
uncomfortable, but the AS is off
thing he has.

699
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,280
He definitely has not heard that
name before, no.

700
00:33:28,140 --> 00:33:33,420
Oh, you folks were were also
there with Fern that evening, is

701
00:33:33,420 --> 00:33:35,860
that correct?
We were, yeah, during the

702
00:33:36,740 --> 00:33:40,940
Williams display.
Oh, fascinating.

703
00:33:41,020 --> 00:33:43,500
You know, I actually maybe would
like to speak with you about

704
00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:45,980
what you saw.
Perhaps we can compare notes and

705
00:33:45,980 --> 00:33:48,500
we could figure out what
happened to Fern.

706
00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:51,460
OK, absolutely.
Sure, I guess.

707
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,120
Yes.
Come, come on inside.

708
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,160
Let's, let's, let's speak.
Let's, let's speak.

709
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,000
We could speak briefly.
I I can't give you too much of

710
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,360
my time today, he says as he's
sort of coming in.

711
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,120
He's hanging up his coat in his
office.

712
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,920
That one orderly is looking at
you a little funny, but you're

713
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,679
with the boss, so he's not
saying anything.

714
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,960
Uh huh.
Yes.

715
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,880
So what do you wish to know
about Fern?

716
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,920
You could ask me a few questions
if you allow me to ask you a few

717
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,460
questions in return.
Well, that sounds perfectly

718
00:34:20,460 --> 00:34:24,420
reasonable.
Also, now that you're seeing the

719
00:34:24,460 --> 00:34:27,460
the sanitarium, this place is
huge.

720
00:34:28,420 --> 00:34:32,940
It's it's a sprawling sort of
campus, three stories tall.

721
00:34:33,940 --> 00:34:37,100
There's there's a lot of space
here and he leads you into his

722
00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:39,179
office on the 2nd floor.
So what?

723
00:34:39,179 --> 00:34:44,179
What do you wish to know about
Fern or I suppose myself?

724
00:34:44,179 --> 00:34:47,340
Though I must admit I'm not
particularly interesting, though

725
00:34:47,420 --> 00:34:50,130
my dear Lucy is.
Well, look, Fert, Fert.

726
00:34:50,530 --> 00:34:56,370
Well, see, sorry about the loss
of your wife, Sir, but it's come

727
00:34:56,370 --> 00:34:59,130
to in our investigation that
Fern was involved with some

728
00:34:59,130 --> 00:35:05,490
occult beliefs and practices,
like as in magic, magic, that

729
00:35:05,490 --> 00:35:07,970
kind of thing.
Well, look, I'm not saying it's

730
00:35:08,170 --> 00:35:11,570
it's a real thing, but this is
something that we're sure that

731
00:35:11,570 --> 00:35:16,730
he believed in and that he was a
worshipper of chaos and all this

732
00:35:17,090 --> 00:35:20,640
crazy, crazy stuff.
He was building, you know, this

733
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,800
machine for the professor.
It also looks like he was

734
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,200
secretly building more machines.
Now, to me, it looks like that

735
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,880
these machines might be able to
affect people's minds.

736
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,120
I know I feel unsettled deeply
by it, as do my colleagues here.

737
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,320
So I'm I'm wondering if you
might have any insight to where

738
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,400
he might have stashed these
things because we've looked at

739
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,260
his house, we've looked at.
Williams Place.

740
00:35:47,260 --> 00:35:50,060
We've looked around.
We can't find anywhere where

741
00:35:50,060 --> 00:35:52,740
these might be.
Is there some place that maybe

742
00:35:52,740 --> 00:35:58,460
he said before, you know, some
secret lab that he might have or

743
00:35:58,460 --> 00:36:01,260
something that hasn't told
anybody about, like a cabin in

744
00:36:01,260 --> 00:36:03,860
the woods?
Something along those lines?

745
00:36:04,740 --> 00:36:08,220
These questions are making him
visibly uncomfortable.

746
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:11,260
Well, not visibly uncomfortable,
but with your assessed honesty.

747
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,440
It's very specifically asking
where did he put stuff.

748
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,600
This is very much bothering
Doctor Voch here.

749
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:25,000
I could not tell you where
anything would be stored.

750
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:30,480
I he he lives he lived with his
at his mother's boarding house

751
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,640
and and now he lives here.
I I don't know where he would

752
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,680
have stored anything else.
I.

753
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,360
I do must have.
I must apologize.

754
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,280
If you've been to his home,
there's nowhere else he could

755
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,520
have put.
You said he was building other

756
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,800
things that that doesn't seem
right to me.

757
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,680
Other devices.
Oh, OK, yeah.

758
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:55,600
Then he's got these extra parts.
He's building extra devices For

759
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:56,880
who?
Why?

760
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,680
Why doesn't that seem right to
you?

761
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,720
He's.
He would not.

762
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,080
Why would he have a need to
make?

763
00:37:04,420 --> 00:37:07,380
More devices.
He seems so shaken up by the

764
00:37:07,380 --> 00:37:10,740
device that he saw it.
It led him to commit the acts

765
00:37:10,740 --> 00:37:12,820
that he did.
So your friends, you were

766
00:37:12,820 --> 00:37:14,500
friends with him before all this
happened?

767
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:19,460
Yes, yes, it dates back to my
arrival in this country.

768
00:37:19,620 --> 00:37:22,900
How did you meet him?
He was the son of the my

769
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:27,700
landlady, and it was so nice to
talk to somebody who wasn't a

770
00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:30,940
highbound academic, but somebody
who could, you know, think

771
00:37:30,940 --> 00:37:35,790
outside of the box, as it were.
I I no longer live there.

772
00:37:35,790 --> 00:37:40,230
You know?
Actually, when I I married my my

773
00:37:40,230 --> 00:37:45,550
beloved Lucy, we were able to
move into her estate with some

774
00:37:45,550 --> 00:37:48,510
of her family's money.
Which has helped me actually

775
00:37:48,950 --> 00:37:54,230
found this sanitarium She she
truly believed in the work that

776
00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:57,550
we were doing here.
But since then I have remained

777
00:37:57,550 --> 00:38:00,630
friends with Vok.
He he visits occasionally to to

778
00:38:00,630 --> 00:38:02,590
the house.
Not Vok.

779
00:38:03,150 --> 00:38:06,230
I ever made friends with Fern.
He visits occasionally to the

780
00:38:06,630 --> 00:38:10,390
the house but I know he's been
working with Professor Williams

781
00:38:10,430 --> 00:38:15,270
on his the the why scope that I
suppose he shouldn't have been

782
00:38:15,270 --> 00:38:16,590
working on.
It drove him mad.

783
00:38:17,380 --> 00:38:21,220
On a related note, would you
still consider him a friend?

784
00:38:21,780 --> 00:38:26,740
His psychosis is not his fault.
I like to think of him as a

785
00:38:26,740 --> 00:38:28,940
friend.
Still, perhaps we could find a

786
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:33,220
way to save him.
But and also, wasn't your wife

787
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:34,900
just murdered?
Why are you spending so much

788
00:38:34,900 --> 00:38:37,060
time at work?
Jesus Christ.

789
00:38:40,700 --> 00:38:45,230
I must ask you to leave now.
I believe this this conversation

790
00:38:45,230 --> 00:38:47,790
is over.
If you need to speak to Fern,

791
00:38:48,350 --> 00:38:51,350
you may speak to him for a short
period of time.

792
00:38:51,350 --> 00:38:53,790
I would like to observe that.
But for now, I think this

793
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:55,470
conversation is over.
I don't.

794
00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:57,070
I don't want to speak of this
anymore.

795
00:38:57,310 --> 00:39:00,110
Yeah, that makes sense.
All right.

796
00:39:00,110 --> 00:39:03,980
Thank you.
He this whole sort of vibe here,

797
00:39:04,260 --> 00:39:07,420
he was not telling you the whole
truth and what was going on

798
00:39:07,420 --> 00:39:08,540
here?
It seems like he's hiding

799
00:39:08,540 --> 00:39:10,860
something really.
Is that so?

800
00:39:10,940 --> 00:39:14,140
What are the odds?
What are the odds that those

801
00:39:14,140 --> 00:39:16,660
extra machines are here?
Do you think they're in the

802
00:39:16,660 --> 00:39:19,620
sanitarium?
Yeah, plenty of space, possibly.

803
00:39:19,820 --> 00:39:21,900
I get to feeling he can't tell
us where they are, but I bet he

804
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:24,140
could show us.
I mean, I guess you could look

805
00:39:24,140 --> 00:39:25,620
around the sanitarium if you'd
like.

806
00:39:25,740 --> 00:39:28,060
Yeah, I've tried to be sneaky
about it, definitely.

807
00:39:28,180 --> 00:39:30,090
Hey, Helen.
Yeah, you're gonna see

808
00:39:30,090 --> 00:39:31,370
something.
Boy.

809
00:39:31,930 --> 00:39:33,570
Helen.
Poor Helen.

810
00:39:34,050 --> 00:39:37,610
We keep seeing things.
Should I just roll the D6 just

811
00:39:37,610 --> 00:39:41,730
get it over with?
As you were traveling around the

812
00:39:42,850 --> 00:39:45,890
sanitarium, as you sort of moved
out, you see.

813
00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:50,570
That one of the the patients
here there are formless

814
00:39:50,570 --> 00:39:54,570
bacterial creatures floating all
around them like the things that

815
00:39:54,570 --> 00:39:59,090
you saw around the bizarre cue.
And you see them reach out and

816
00:39:59,090 --> 00:40:03,890
grab this person and move them
around on strings, manipulating

817
00:40:03,890 --> 00:40:07,530
their arms and legs, whispering
thoughts into their ears.

818
00:40:07,650 --> 00:40:11,930
And then they see you.
They swarm into this being all

819
00:40:11,930 --> 00:40:16,090
at once, who then begins to
dance a mad and capering jig.

820
00:40:16,250 --> 00:40:19,330
And he's laughing.
He's laughing and laughing.

821
00:40:19,330 --> 00:40:21,810
So everyone's going to have to
make a role at this because you

822
00:40:21,810 --> 00:40:24,770
see a guy who just is japering
around and laughing.

823
00:40:24,770 --> 00:40:27,130
It's a little uncomfortable to
the two of you who didn't see

824
00:40:27,130 --> 00:40:30,610
it, but it is an insane asylum,
so perhaps it doesn't bother you

825
00:40:30,610 --> 00:40:32,890
too much.
It'll be a loss of two.

826
00:40:33,010 --> 00:40:34,850
It's the difficulty.
But for me it'll be like

827
00:40:35,090 --> 00:40:38,330
difficulty at this point though
is 6 for everybody.

828
00:40:38,450 --> 00:40:39,490
Oh, perfect.
Oh geez.

829
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:42,090
Things are getting harder as
your mind is getting worse.

830
00:40:42,090 --> 00:40:44,530
I failed 5.
So I lost two.

831
00:40:45,130 --> 00:40:45,850
Oh, no.
Oh yeah.

832
00:40:45,850 --> 00:40:48,090
For you it's two.
For Helen, she'll lose 5.

833
00:40:48,410 --> 00:40:51,530
Yeah, I'm going to burn 2 Sandy
points just to make this role

834
00:40:51,530 --> 00:40:53,130
better.
Oh, thank God.

835
00:40:53,130 --> 00:40:54,330
That was a six.
All right.

836
00:40:54,570 --> 00:40:56,490
I failed.
Just barely.

837
00:40:56,770 --> 00:40:58,410
You failed.
I failed as well.

838
00:40:58,610 --> 00:41:00,930
You said it was 6, right?
Was the difficulty it was six,

839
00:41:00,930 --> 00:41:02,410
yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

840
00:41:02,410 --> 00:41:05,690
I failed two, so I'm, I'm down
to four stability now.

841
00:41:06,140 --> 00:41:09,940
So just just so you know, that's
that's sort of uncomfortable

842
00:41:09,940 --> 00:41:13,380
there.
Where do you want to look?

843
00:41:13,380 --> 00:41:15,420
What do you think you're going
to do to try to find stuff in

844
00:41:15,420 --> 00:41:18,540
this asylum?
Well, we've been in his office,

845
00:41:18,540 --> 00:41:20,500
so it obviously wouldn't be
there.

846
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:27,900
There's got to be storage here,
or maybe it wouldn't be storage.

847
00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:30,700
Maybe it would be like because
orderlies and things would

848
00:41:30,700 --> 00:41:32,380
access storage and he wouldn't
want them.

849
00:41:32,380 --> 00:41:34,860
Maybe there's an old office
that's not use.

850
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:41,220
I think that might be a better
angle, so do you guys want to

851
00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:45,180
split up and look for it?
Sure, I need all of you to make.

852
00:41:45,260 --> 00:41:47,260
Are you trying to be sneaky
while you're doing this?

853
00:41:47,580 --> 00:41:49,660
Definitely.
Oh yeah, absolutely.

854
00:41:49,860 --> 00:41:52,380
OK, All right, so I'll need you
all to make shadowing rolls.

855
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:55,500
Difficulty 3.
It's not that hard to move

856
00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:57,140
around here.
I succeeded.

857
00:41:57,420 --> 00:42:01,100
I'm gonna spend 2 points.
I'm gonna spend 3 because I want

858
00:42:01,100 --> 00:42:03,440
to succeed at this and.
My checks are a little harder.

859
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,520
It's a + 1 difficulty.
Yeah.

860
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,320
So.
I roll the six so.

861
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,080
I'm good.
Yeah.

862
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,040
I spent two.
Yeah, I got 7.

863
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,200
So I'm.
I'm like a ninja.

864
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,480
A sweaty ninja.
You are all looking around this

865
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:23,280
place honestly.
Mostly you find nothing, you

866
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,000
know?
You know, that makes sense.

867
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,960
It's it's difficult to find
anything.

868
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:33,570
But eventually, let me roll to
see who finds something.

869
00:42:33,770 --> 00:42:35,010
Professor.
Hello.

870
00:42:35,210 --> 00:42:40,530
Yeah, you find a basement door.
That seems like it is.

871
00:42:41,690 --> 00:42:45,090
There's something about it.
Seems to be calling to you like

872
00:42:45,090 --> 00:42:46,410
a basement.
Of course.

873
00:42:46,770 --> 00:42:49,610
Of course, that's where the the
machine was built before.

874
00:42:49,850 --> 00:42:51,250
Maybe it would be in this
basement.

875
00:42:51,250 --> 00:42:53,970
Unfortunately, the door is
locked scuffle, but there's

876
00:42:53,970 --> 00:42:56,810
something about it that's, you
know, giving you a place that

877
00:42:56,810 --> 00:42:58,650
you might want to go.
Well, I guess I'll have to

878
00:42:58,810 --> 00:43:00,890
direct someone who can open the
store over here.

879
00:43:01,170 --> 00:43:03,570
I can pick locks.
You saw me pick a lock earlier,

880
00:43:03,570 --> 00:43:07,770
so.
OK, yeah, we'll make it a

881
00:43:07,770 --> 00:43:08,570
basement door.
It's fine.

882
00:43:08,690 --> 00:43:11,210
The basement door is locked.
But if you want to try to pick

883
00:43:11,210 --> 00:43:12,650
the lock, you could absolutely
do that.

884
00:43:12,690 --> 00:43:16,290
I can't do that myself.
I need either A reporter, Yeah.

885
00:43:16,810 --> 00:43:18,730
I'm gonna give it a go.
I can.

886
00:43:18,730 --> 00:43:20,860
I'm.
It's a role, right?

887
00:43:21,060 --> 00:43:23,380
You could just spend a point of
locksmith to get in.

888
00:43:23,860 --> 00:43:25,780
Yeah, spend a point.
Yes, it's technically an

889
00:43:25,780 --> 00:43:28,540
investigative skill that lets
you find clues.

890
00:43:28,700 --> 00:43:31,060
All right, exactly.
Before we go down though,

891
00:43:31,420 --> 00:43:33,780
Professor, we're gonna have to
make a role over here.

892
00:43:34,140 --> 00:43:36,740
Okay.
You realize it's all come

893
00:43:36,740 --> 00:43:38,820
together.
You figured out what's going on.

894
00:43:38,980 --> 00:43:40,780
Excellent.
It's your husband, Renee, of.

895
00:43:40,940 --> 00:43:44,140
Course he did it.
They are an agent of the blind

896
00:43:44,180 --> 00:43:47,900
idiot God, and they have been so
for as long as you've known

897
00:43:47,900 --> 00:43:49,780
them.
They stuck it to Williams Lab

898
00:43:49,780 --> 00:43:52,780
that that night and reoriented
the Y scope.

899
00:43:52,820 --> 00:43:57,180
You've been used to confuse the
case because they're waiting to

900
00:43:57,300 --> 00:44:00,540
end all of existence.
There's only one thing you could

901
00:44:00,540 --> 00:44:02,620
do.
You have to go and kill them

902
00:44:02,620 --> 00:44:06,370
right now to save the world.
Of course, it's also obvious now

903
00:44:06,450 --> 00:44:12,810
this is a difficulty 6 stability
test with a possible loss of 6.

904
00:44:14,970 --> 00:44:16,370
Nelly I.
Should probably spend some

905
00:44:16,370 --> 00:44:18,610
points on this one.
This ain't gonna go well.

906
00:44:18,730 --> 00:44:22,050
You probably want to succeed on
this one, is what I'm saying.

907
00:44:22,450 --> 00:44:25,970
Yeah, probably.
I will spend 4 points as that is

908
00:44:25,970 --> 00:44:29,730
what I have to spend and that
would be additionally 1

909
00:44:29,850 --> 00:44:31,330
difficulty higher as well.
Cool.

910
00:44:31,370 --> 00:44:34,390
So I need a four or No 3.
That's a six.

911
00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:37,550
OK, nice.
You you shake your head and

912
00:44:37,550 --> 00:44:39,790
realize no, no, that's that's
crazy.

913
00:44:39,830 --> 00:44:41,910
Why were you thinking that?
I shouldn't have skipped

914
00:44:41,910 --> 00:44:45,990
breakfast.
Oh, Dan, you just reminded me

915
00:44:45,990 --> 00:44:47,710
that I skipped breakfast in real
life.

916
00:44:47,710 --> 00:44:49,310
Maybe I should eat something
when we're done.

917
00:44:50,390 --> 00:44:53,390
Thankfully, it seems like you
guys maybe have solved this case

918
00:44:53,390 --> 00:44:56,750
fast enough that the truly
horrible visions might not hit

919
00:44:56,750 --> 00:44:59,630
you.
But as you make your way down

920
00:44:59,630 --> 00:45:04,190
into this basement that you see
there, you start to hear music.

921
00:45:04,270 --> 00:45:08,710
If you could even call it music,
It's yeah, it sounds familiar.

922
00:45:08,830 --> 00:45:10,470
Everyone this time, Not just
Helen.

923
00:45:10,750 --> 00:45:12,350
Everyone could hear it this
time.

924
00:45:12,590 --> 00:45:14,110
OK.
Oh, thank God.

925
00:45:14,590 --> 00:45:20,150
Wait, that's bad.
And you see a laboratory at the

926
00:45:20,150 --> 00:45:21,750
bottom of the stairs here.
Ha.

927
00:45:22,630 --> 00:45:27,410
Of course, a laboratory slash
temple, and in the middle of the

928
00:45:27,410 --> 00:45:33,570
room you see Fern jumping up and
down with a A flute in his hands

929
00:45:33,770 --> 00:45:39,130
that sharp and jagged and around
the room are six projector

930
00:45:39,130 --> 00:45:44,210
devices that look like the Y
scope but are larger and more of

931
00:45:44,250 --> 00:45:48,370
overtly sinister.
Each of their beams are going

932
00:45:48,370 --> 00:45:53,050
together into the center of the
room and where they intersect A5

933
00:45:53,050 --> 00:45:56,770
sided cube hangs in the air.
That is now about the size of an

934
00:45:56,850 --> 00:46:02,090
automobile and it rise and
intermittently also displays

935
00:46:02,090 --> 00:46:08,370
instead a 7th or 8th side on its
cube like self and probably

936
00:46:08,370 --> 00:46:09,610
maybe the thing I should have
mentioned.

937
00:46:09,610 --> 00:46:12,010
This is probably the first thing
you saw when you got into the

938
00:46:12,010 --> 00:46:14,090
room.
Dancing around the chamber,

939
00:46:14,330 --> 00:46:20,970
wailing on bloodied razortipped
flutes are man sized versions of

940
00:46:20,970 --> 00:46:25,800
the bacterial entities that you
witnessed through the Y scopes

941
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,320
all.
Right, so this isn't really my

942
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,680
area, but this is bad, right?
This is extremely bad.

943
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:38,440
You also see that beneath the
cube are several like a dozen

944
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:43,680
patients that steam to have stab
marks all over their bodies and

945
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,960
the ones that are alive are
screaming.

946
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:52,880
Oh my God, this is going to be a
bit of a stability test here.

947
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,960
Stability test I that would make
sense.

948
00:46:56,240 --> 00:47:02,160
Difficulty 5 If you fail it will
be a lose 9 stability situation.

949
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:06,640
I have no points left to spend.
Oh, oh, If that's the case, then

950
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,600
I will spend some of my
remaining stability.

951
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,140
I feel like we're.
Approach at the end of the game,

952
00:47:12,140 --> 00:47:16,300
so I could probably afford to.
Let's spend 3 and just hope I

953
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:19,500
don't get A1.
I'm gonna spend 2 and pray.

954
00:47:19,700 --> 00:47:24,660
And oh, I got a six Boo.
I got a 50.

955
00:47:24,700 --> 00:47:26,860
Thank God.
I rolled A5 but it's increased

956
00:47:26,860 --> 00:47:29,060
difficulty for me.
So how's everybody's stability

957
00:47:29,060 --> 00:47:33,100
doing then?
I'm my stability is currently at

958
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:38,060
3:00.
Flat 0. -, 14 Oh.

959
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:44,080
Whoo oh, OK, so actually you
can't really handle this my guy.

960
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,600
This is really not my area.
Really.

961
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,960
Isn't Oh you are now incurably
insane?

962
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,280
Oh no.
Well, I'm in the right place

963
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,920
where it expose.
You may commit one last crazy if

964
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:02,320
you would like.
You could commit a crazy act of

965
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,730
self-destructive heroic Ness, or
self-destructive self

966
00:48:06,730 --> 00:48:11,450
destructiveness, or just be out
of the game.

967
00:48:11,890 --> 00:48:15,290
I'm gonna go after one of the
projectors or the Y scopes and

968
00:48:15,290 --> 00:48:18,570
just try to take it apart with
my bare hands and I teeth.

969
00:48:18,730 --> 00:48:21,490
That feels extra crazy too.
You know what you do?

970
00:48:21,490 --> 00:48:25,490
Run to the Y scope.
You throw yourself on the gears

971
00:48:25,530 --> 00:48:30,090
over and over again, biting,
smashing, breaking, and your

972
00:48:30,090 --> 00:48:33,530
body is pulled into the machine
itself.

973
00:48:33,690 --> 00:48:35,010
Perfect.
You break it.

974
00:48:35,250 --> 00:48:36,850
But it also breaks you.
Whoops.

975
00:48:38,290 --> 00:48:41,090
There are two of these bizarre
beings.

976
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:46,480
There were three, but as the
Professor destroyed the machine,

977
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,720
one of those beings began to
fade away.

978
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,200
However, there are several
machines in here, and these

979
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:57,000
monstrous creatures and the Mad
Fern are now looking at you.

980
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,160
What do you do?
I continue being dead.

981
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:05,000
Yeah, you're Yeah, you're.
What the hell is going on here?

982
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:06,960
I've only torched the room and
run.

983
00:49:07,900 --> 00:49:09,300
Do you have something to torch
the room?

984
00:49:09,340 --> 00:49:11,940
What is in the room that I could
potentially use to set it on

985
00:49:11,980 --> 00:49:14,100
fire?
There's just big electrical.

986
00:49:14,300 --> 00:49:17,300
It looks almost like a fucking
Frankenstein laboratory.

987
00:49:17,980 --> 00:49:20,660
It's just like electrical things
all over the place, but you

988
00:49:20,660 --> 00:49:23,500
don't see any like gasoline or
anything that light on fire.

989
00:49:23,500 --> 00:49:29,020
Fern begins to cackle and say
his gaze is upon us and he

990
00:49:29,020 --> 00:49:32,420
starts running at you, waving
this flute that's covered in

991
00:49:32,420 --> 00:49:35,140
razor blades or razor sharp
flute at you.

992
00:49:35,460 --> 00:49:37,820
Cool razor flute.
Great.

993
00:49:40,420 --> 00:49:41,980
Just one of those fucking days,
huh?

994
00:49:42,620 --> 00:49:45,060
I I guess I would say.
Do you think you have any

995
00:49:45,060 --> 00:49:48,900
weapons?
Oh, no, I He's just a reporter.

996
00:49:48,900 --> 00:49:51,660
He wouldn't have thought that it
was going to go this way.

997
00:49:51,660 --> 00:49:52,940
So now he wouldn't.
He wouldn't have any.

998
00:49:53,180 --> 00:49:56,180
I have a yeah, you are.
You know how to use weapons.

999
00:49:56,260 --> 00:49:58,300
I think you have like a weapons
training.

1000
00:49:58,540 --> 00:50:00,620
Like I think you may have, like
defended yourself in a knife

1001
00:50:00,620 --> 00:50:05,060
fight or something, but you
don't necessarily have anything

1002
00:50:05,060 --> 00:50:05,820
with you.
I don't.

1003
00:50:05,860 --> 00:50:07,060
I don't think you would.
Yeah.

1004
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,360
I was the weapon.
Yeah, well, you are dead.

1005
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,760
You know what?
I do have five points in

1006
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:17,480
preparedness.
OK, so can I use these five

1007
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,280
points in preparedness to say
that I have a large flask of

1008
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,520
alcohol for personal use and a
lighter?

1009
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,760
Yes, if you'd like preparedness.
Also, if you don't know what

1010
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,520
that means, you could make A
roll with preparedness to say

1011
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,960
that you had something with you
that it didn't make sense for

1012
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,600
you to have.
I'd like to do that.

1013
00:50:36,770 --> 00:50:37,730
Sure.
Difficulty 3.

1014
00:50:38,010 --> 00:50:39,250
Cool.
I'm going to.

1015
00:50:39,250 --> 00:50:41,930
Let's see.
To get difficulty 3, I'm going

1016
00:50:41,930 --> 00:50:45,650
to roll 2, burn two points of
preparedness just to guarantee I

1017
00:50:45,650 --> 00:50:47,570
would succeed.
Now you could do that.

1018
00:50:47,570 --> 00:50:49,530
That's not going to make that
big of an explode.

1019
00:50:49,930 --> 00:50:52,330
No, we just need to start the
fire.

1020
00:50:53,090 --> 00:50:56,850
I mean it's the it's the 30s.
Like there's not going to be

1021
00:50:56,890 --> 00:50:59,890
like this place isn't probably
isn't safe to stand in.

1022
00:51:01,250 --> 00:51:04,530
It's a concrete basement.
Well, there are boxes down here.

1023
00:51:04,570 --> 00:51:07,890
The boxes that were all of the
box, you know, all of the wooden

1024
00:51:07,890 --> 00:51:10,130
boxes are down here.
You're absolutely right.

1025
00:51:10,130 --> 00:51:11,610
All the wooden boxes are down
here.

1026
00:51:11,930 --> 00:51:14,170
Of course, there's absolutely
something you could burn.

1027
00:51:14,250 --> 00:51:17,050
We finally found them.
Let's start a fucking fire.

1028
00:51:18,570 --> 00:51:22,530
All right, so now we are
technically in initiative order.

1029
00:51:22,530 --> 00:51:25,650
Combat isn't really the focus of
this game that we're doing here.

1030
00:51:26,210 --> 00:51:31,170
Let's see, so we How many points
of athletics do each of you

1031
00:51:31,170 --> 00:51:32,410
have?
10.

1032
00:51:33,810 --> 00:51:38,090
I have 8:00, So Helen will go
first, then you will go chip,

1033
00:51:38,250 --> 00:51:41,730
and then the creatures will go.
So I'm using my turn to start a

1034
00:51:41,730 --> 00:51:44,690
fire.
All right, I need you to make me

1035
00:51:44,690 --> 00:51:47,890
a roll of some sort to do that.
What would be appropriate for

1036
00:51:47,890 --> 00:51:50,090
this?
I don't know.

1037
00:51:50,250 --> 00:51:53,370
I mean, scuffling is the generic
fight thing.

1038
00:51:53,530 --> 00:51:56,250
You could use athletics if
you're trying to move over and

1039
00:51:56,250 --> 00:51:59,050
light something on fire.
I'd say firearms, but I don't

1040
00:51:59,050 --> 00:52:00,050
think you have it.
Yeah.

1041
00:52:00,530 --> 00:52:02,450
Athletics.
Athletics makes sense.

1042
00:52:03,010 --> 00:52:06,850
So I'm gonna burn two points of
athletics and roll 7.

1043
00:52:07,010 --> 00:52:09,490
All right, you know what?
You'll light up the laboratory.

1044
00:52:09,610 --> 00:52:11,490
It begins to burn.
Oh fuck, yeah.

1045
00:52:11,730 --> 00:52:14,210
Now we can die and we'll still
technically succeeded.

1046
00:52:15,170 --> 00:52:17,530
Chip, what do you do seeing this
scene?

1047
00:52:18,850 --> 00:52:22,370
Chip is gonna make his way to
the door and get out of there.

1048
00:52:22,370 --> 00:52:24,450
And hopefully, I mean, he's
gonna try.

1049
00:52:24,530 --> 00:52:27,930
He doesn't want to just leave
Helen in the dust, but also he

1050
00:52:27,930 --> 00:52:30,050
wants to.
To make sure that he's going to

1051
00:52:30,050 --> 00:52:33,010
be able to get out.
So I'm going to Chip is going to

1052
00:52:33,010 --> 00:52:38,010
move to the door and avoid being
grabbed or whatever these things

1053
00:52:38,010 --> 00:52:41,690
are going to try and do to us or
stab us with the knife, pollute,

1054
00:52:41,770 --> 00:52:45,130
whatever.
Yeah, the the, the Flute knife.

1055
00:52:45,490 --> 00:52:48,130
The flute knife.
I'll I'll going to spend 2.

1056
00:52:48,770 --> 00:52:51,210
You know I don't think this is
going to go on very long, so

1057
00:52:51,210 --> 00:52:53,810
I'll spend 3:00.
I've got an 8 Athletics.

1058
00:52:54,270 --> 00:52:56,830
OK, you need a four to succeed,
so you'll you'll succeed

1059
00:52:56,830 --> 00:52:58,990
automatically with that, yeah?
I got a I got.

1060
00:52:59,230 --> 00:52:59,550
Yeah.
Yeah.

1061
00:52:59,550 --> 00:53:02,190
OK.
All right, So Helen, you're

1062
00:53:02,190 --> 00:53:06,510
still kind of in the room,
though these two creatures are

1063
00:53:06,510 --> 00:53:09,470
going to try to hit you with
their flutes.

1064
00:53:09,910 --> 00:53:11,350
Of course.
Oh no.

1065
00:53:11,430 --> 00:53:13,430
What's your hit threshold?
Did you write that down?

1066
00:53:13,550 --> 00:53:19,550
Helen's hit threshold is for, so
they are going to try to hit you

1067
00:53:19,550 --> 00:53:21,270
with their flutes.
They're going to spend two

1068
00:53:21,270 --> 00:53:24,160
points of scuffling to do that.
Oh boy.

1069
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:29,160
OK, the first one hits you and
the second one hits you.

1070
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:34,440
The first one deals 5 damage to
you and the second one, oh boy,

1071
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:40,080
does 6 damage to you.
So I'm at -, 1 yeah, they just

1072
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:44,320
these creatures sort of float
towards you and just stab you

1073
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,000
through with their razor sharp
flutes.

1074
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,360
Oh my God.
And then go back to piping on

1075
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,600
them.
So Helen is dead?

1076
00:53:52,770 --> 00:53:54,930
No, no, no, no, no.
That's not how health works,

1077
00:53:54,930 --> 00:53:58,170
actually. -, 1 does it.
You're still in the game, you're

1078
00:53:58,170 --> 00:54:00,890
just hurt.
Yes, I'm hurt.

1079
00:54:00,930 --> 00:54:05,490
Surrounded by bacterial flute
monsters and a burning and the

1080
00:54:05,490 --> 00:54:09,770
room is about to burn.
My odds aren't looking great.

1081
00:54:10,850 --> 00:54:14,490
I mean, I will say this fire is
a thing that could hurt these

1082
00:54:14,490 --> 00:54:16,770
guys a lot more than if you
tried to stab them.

1083
00:54:16,890 --> 00:54:20,610
So that's good.
Let's check your health here.

1084
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,320
Believe there's an up check you
are hurt.

1085
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,080
A zero to minus 5 means you have
minus difficulty and you cannot

1086
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,240
spend points.
Oh no.

1087
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:35,080
And you see that Fern is now
running over to the fire and

1088
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,720
like, trying to, like, throw
away a blanket on top of it to

1089
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:41,120
try to put it out.
He's having difficulty doing

1090
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,840
that, though.
What would you like to do,

1091
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,200
Helen?
Ron.

1092
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:49,200
These things and the machines
can can burn to death for all I

1093
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,240
care I need to.
Run Hell and Ron.

1094
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:52,200
I need to.
No.

1095
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,920
I need to stop.
I need to stop Fern from putting

1096
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,640
out the fire because does he
look like he will succeed?

1097
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,440
If we leave him alone?
He might.

1098
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,520
It's a little unclear.
I need to stop him from putting

1099
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,320
out the fire, Not like I can
spend any points on anything

1100
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,770
anyway so.
I guess that would just be

1101
00:55:07,770 --> 00:55:10,250
scuffling, yeah.
Make a scuffling check.

1102
00:55:10,330 --> 00:55:13,290
His hit threshold is 3. 6 Yeah.
OK.

1103
00:55:13,530 --> 00:55:15,170
Better than a 50?
Yay.

1104
00:55:15,370 --> 00:55:19,410
So roll a D6 and subtract 1.
That's how much damage he'll do

1105
00:55:19,450 --> 00:55:21,170
unarmed.
One damage?

1106
00:55:21,410 --> 00:55:23,330
Whoo.
Nice.

1107
00:55:23,610 --> 00:55:26,850
All right, it is.
It does knock him away though,

1108
00:55:26,930 --> 00:55:31,130
and he starts screaming and
waving his fluid at you again.

1109
00:55:31,610 --> 00:55:34,450
Of course, as the fire burns
behind him.

1110
00:55:34,610 --> 00:55:39,150
So that's good.
Hey, Chip, what do?

1111
00:55:39,510 --> 00:55:40,230
You do.
Chip's going to.

1112
00:55:41,430 --> 00:55:42,830
They're not coming after him,
right?

1113
00:55:42,830 --> 00:55:44,670
There's that, there's they're
not, no.

1114
00:55:44,790 --> 00:55:48,590
And Chip is not a fighter.
I have no scuffling at all, so

1115
00:55:48,590 --> 00:55:53,910
it would just be pure die chance
here and it looks like things

1116
00:55:53,910 --> 00:55:56,910
aren't going to work out, so
he's going to just wait at the

1117
00:55:56,910 --> 00:55:58,790
steps and if there's like a last
minute.

1118
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,680
I'm going to hold my action,
basically, is what I'm doing,

1119
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:02,760
OK?
You're going to hold your

1120
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,360
action, OK, Helen, these things
are going to attack you.

1121
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:09,480
What are the odds only one of
them, though one of them is

1122
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,600
consumed by the fire?
Oh, hell yeah.

1123
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,960
And it seems to scream in a way
that is fluty.

1124
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:19,400
The whole thing is I'm not
making big roll any other roles

1125
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:23,520
because the whole scene itself
has been so damaging to you that

1126
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,040
anything else is not going to
bother you too much.

1127
00:56:26,240 --> 00:56:28,480
But this other one is going to
up.

1128
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:35,960
He hits you and he does 5 damage
to you. -, 6 You are seriously

1129
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,680
wounded and you need to roll to
remain conscious.

1130
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:44,700
I rolled A3, so the difficulty
on this is your absolute value

1131
00:56:44,740 --> 00:56:46,420
of your health.
So what?

1132
00:56:46,460 --> 00:56:49,540
You're at -, 6, he said.
So the difficulty is 6.

1133
00:56:49,660 --> 00:56:52,860
You're going to roll D6.
You can spend health points to

1134
00:56:52,860 --> 00:56:55,980
try to stay up.
However, if you reach -, 12, you

1135
00:56:55,980 --> 00:56:57,780
will die completely.
I have failed.

1136
00:56:58,780 --> 00:57:00,180
You failed.
You're up, OK?

1137
00:57:00,220 --> 00:57:03,460
You pass out in the fire, or you
pass out as smoke begins to fill

1138
00:57:03,460 --> 00:57:05,700
the room.
All right, seeing that, I'm

1139
00:57:05,700 --> 00:57:08,700
going to just run up the stairs
and close the door.

1140
00:57:09,020 --> 00:57:12,500
Behind me, eventually, the
order, a bunch of orderlies come

1141
00:57:12,500 --> 00:57:13,420
over to you.
It says What?

1142
00:57:13,780 --> 00:57:15,740
What are you doing?
What's going on?

1143
00:57:15,860 --> 00:57:18,780
We have to contain the fire as
even they are starting to hear

1144
00:57:18,780 --> 00:57:20,980
fluting and stuff.
We have to contain the fire.

1145
00:57:21,100 --> 00:57:25,820
There's a fire, a fire and the
the fire department is called.

1146
00:57:26,100 --> 00:57:28,700
Chaos reigns.
Everyone's running around the

1147
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,360
the sanitarium trying to figure
out what's going on, and

1148
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:38,080
eventually when the fire
department makes its way down

1149
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:43,000
into the the basement, it is
blazing full of fire.

1150
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,400
The things are starting to
spread.

1151
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:49,760
Whatever, we sort of get a scene
of of of all the burning and all

1152
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,240
that's left in the laboratory is
a bunch of burnt up equipment

1153
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:58,160
and some charred corpses.
I mean, horrible.

1154
00:57:58,580 --> 00:58:01,980
Also, Dr. Vach is nowhere to be
found after the fire.

1155
00:58:02,180 --> 00:58:04,900
Oh, his body's not found?
No, no.

1156
00:58:05,580 --> 00:58:10,180
Well, his body was not down
there originally, but he during

1157
00:58:10,180 --> 00:58:12,780
the fire he disappeared, he
seems.

1158
00:58:13,700 --> 00:58:16,740
To have left gotcha.
And they all lived happily ever

1159
00:58:16,740 --> 00:58:20,130
after.
Except for me and you.

1160
00:58:20,130 --> 00:58:21,530
Oh.
Yeah, I mean everybody else.

1161
00:58:21,690 --> 00:58:25,010
And I was going to give this
vision to the person with the

1162
00:58:25,010 --> 00:58:28,090
least stability at the end.
But there's only one person left

1163
00:58:28,090 --> 00:58:29,210
alive.
Sure.

1164
00:58:29,210 --> 00:58:31,770
Yeah.
So I'm going to give this to

1165
00:58:31,770 --> 00:58:32,650
you.
Uh, huh.

1166
00:58:33,050 --> 00:58:36,730
You realize the truth as you
were looking at those awful

1167
00:58:36,730 --> 00:58:39,450
things as you ran up the stairs
and tried to forget them.

1168
00:58:39,650 --> 00:58:41,730
It is not the beings of
dimension.

1169
00:58:41,730 --> 00:58:44,330
Why that are half real.
We are.

1170
00:58:44,330 --> 00:58:48,380
What is half real?
We are the absurd dreams of

1171
00:58:48,380 --> 00:58:52,020
malign and in different beings,
and they have been kept at Bay

1172
00:58:52,020 --> 00:58:54,420
this time.
One day they will.

1173
00:58:55,100 --> 00:58:58,860
They will come and reclaim their
playthings for good.

1174
00:58:58,940 --> 00:59:01,460
We need you to make one last
stability test.

1175
00:59:01,860 --> 00:59:04,580
All righty.
Difficulty 6 for a six point

1176
00:59:04,580 --> 00:59:06,420
loss.
Difficulty 6.

1177
00:59:06,420 --> 00:59:10,020
I'm going to spend the last of
my stability, which is 3.

1178
00:59:11,660 --> 00:59:16,980
But the hopes of not doing this
roll here and I rolled the five.

1179
00:59:16,980 --> 00:59:20,730
So 8 you have.
This is not necessarily broken

1180
00:59:20,730 --> 00:59:25,530
your mind completely, but maybe
we'll see how it goes for the

1181
00:59:25,530 --> 00:59:29,370
rest of your reporting.
Yeah, the the thought, the

1182
00:59:29,410 --> 00:59:31,810
thought.
He's able to push out this

1183
00:59:31,850 --> 00:59:36,250
thought and and continue with
his job figuring out how how am

1184
00:59:36,250 --> 00:59:39,250
I going to report this, you
know, all these things that

1185
00:59:39,250 --> 00:59:40,770
happened.
What what am I going to say?

1186
00:59:40,770 --> 00:59:42,990
Do I?
You know he's going to believe

1187
00:59:42,990 --> 00:59:48,070
me and something well obviously
Fern escaped and and was harming

1188
00:59:48,070 --> 00:59:53,430
other people in the institution
that happened but all the

1189
00:59:53,430 --> 00:59:59,950
details about the machine
that'll be left out and Vox's

1190
00:59:59,950 --> 01:00:04,190
involvement you know he yeah so
we'll have to that won't be in

1191
01:00:04,190 --> 01:00:24,590
the in the report either.
Thanks for listening GO schools

1192
01:00:24,590 --> 01:00:28,590
and those who lay beyond our
cast this week featured special

1193
01:00:28,590 --> 01:00:32,590
guest Chris Lackey.
He wrote the excellent and any

1194
01:00:32,590 --> 01:00:37,870
awardwinning Colts of Cthulhu
and hosts the top notch Strange

1195
01:00:37,870 --> 01:00:41,390
Studies of Strange Stories
podcast, where they look at all

1196
01:00:41,390 --> 01:00:45,310
sorts of classic genre fiction.
It's become one of my favorites,

1197
01:00:45,310 --> 01:00:47,390
and they have an extensive back
catalog.

1198
01:00:47,750 --> 01:00:51,510
Check it out wherever you get
your podcasts, and let's not

1199
01:00:51,510 --> 01:00:56,590
forget podcast regulars from the
Dread Tail, screw Russell and

1200
01:00:56,590 --> 01:00:59,710
Nathan.
Russell, as always, is an

1201
01:00:59,710 --> 01:01:03,220
enigma.
But Nathan, you can find on the

1202
01:01:03,380 --> 01:01:08,620
Kingdom Hearts A Forgotten Era
podcast at KH under score, a Fe

1203
01:01:08,620 --> 01:01:13,780
on Twitter and I'm on Twitter at
LOTR under score Dan.

1204
01:01:14,060 --> 01:01:17,180
I treat some good stuff there
sometimes, although I guess

1205
01:01:17,500 --> 01:01:21,820
maybe the website's called X.
Now that's a whole other horror.

1206
01:01:23,140 --> 01:01:25,940
Special thanks to our editor
Dominic, who's really knocking

1207
01:01:25,940 --> 01:01:29,780
it out of the park as usual.
And just a friendly reminder

1208
01:01:29,900 --> 01:01:33,140

01:01:39,020 --> 01:01:41,860

1214
01:01:49,580 --> 01:01:52,700
