===== AI Transcribed Audio =====
Speaker A: We had a guy on our team.

Speaker B: That they move some stuff off to us because he was going to go outside.

Speaker A: Can you give it back to him now and say, now it's my turn?

Speaker B: Yeah, I knew that was coming. Like, oh, yeah, he'll be back. So I'm like, okay. Like, the nature of that job is not one where you have someone take over that stuff and then give it back to them when they return. It just becomes yours. So I've quickly moved from like, oh, God, like, why don't you guys just take that over and like, okay. Because I knew it was going to happen anyway.

Speaker C: Time to hire someone else.

Speaker B: Yeah. Which we did. And then we let them go. That. That hack that we had on some wallets kind of put things in perspective, I think, for people at the company. But we had a road map of eventually we try to work ourselves out of a job and then just everyone folds into different groups participating in the ecosystem. Because they all were popular. They want us because we're like core members of the technology, but we hired all these people on. And then the hack happened, and it was kind of like a timeline needs to be much shorter. Like, the head shed was like, nope, we're gonna shrink this down, like, three times faster than we planned. So it's kind of like, let's get lean and mean. And it's like, okay, as long as it's realistic. It's borderline.

Speaker A: There's lean and then there's bones.

Speaker B: Yeah. My thing is just I gotta be much younger than I am to keep up with some of these people. It's very, very fast paced. The tech is interesting, though. I'm not even like. The blockchain is like. It's a blockchain. But that's not the part of the tech that's cool. That's the distributed artificial intelligence stuff they're doing.

Speaker A: That's the part that's cool.

Speaker B: That's very fly by the city of your pants.

Speaker A: It's come a long way.

Speaker B: It's paying my bills.

Speaker A: Come along way for searching for alien life.

Speaker B: Yeah, right. Wasn't you I was talking to about the guy who did City at home for the school district?

Speaker A: Was that it could have been.

Speaker B: I need.

Speaker A: It's been there for years. It was the first distributed network I really bumped into.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker A: And I remember the Shelley doing it up in the labs.

Speaker B: Oh, did she really?

Speaker A: Yeah, for a while there were a.

Speaker B: Lot of schools that were doing that with like, the regular compute. But there was a guy in California that got fired. He might have got A lawsuit against him. But he was actually not only. Well, it started out, I'm just going to use, like, some computers. Then it was more computers than it was, like, the district's computers. And then he was buying extra hardware and then storing it in different pockets around, you know, schools and campuses and stuff to do SETI at home. He was just. He just kept escalating to the point where he was buying tens of thousands of dollars of extra computers to do SETI at home. I really wanted to find some alien life. Yeah.

Speaker A: First the district didn't know what was going on. Then all of a sudden they started.

Speaker B: Getting these weird bills, power bills, just like, oh, yeah. How you doing?

Speaker D: Good, Good.

Speaker B: I pointed out above today because they announced, like, oh, we're moving. We moved all this stuff into test, and we're going to move it into production. And each has to update these public nodes that people use.

Speaker A: And I'm like, I need an older.

Speaker B: Version of this software there for a reason. Because it just works. And people can download newer versions of the software themselves. And we encourage them to. But for a while, people have been having some bugs. They have a component that talks to the chain and software that talks to the thing that talks to the chain. And you have to have those, like, it's reasonable to say, try to use those within a certain number of versions. Difference from each other.

Speaker A: Yeah, you want your dominoes to do a lot.

Speaker B: They're two software packages, and our group trains on or tests on that. These two software packages are within, you know, the certain version range from each other because they kind of leapfrog a little bit. But these nodes are like seven months old. But they were built before I got here, so they're at least seven months. They might be 10 months old. And, like, you're leapfrogging 10 months of stuff onto these nodes that people are relying on. And I was like, go search for this error phrase in our Discord chat. And they commute across, like, all the groups, 50 different groups participating, like, go search. It's just massive numbers of people going, I have this error all the time. I'm like, I've been talking about this for months. And they're asking me about when this update's rolling out. So I'm telling them to go test their stuff in our test environment because this new version is sitting there waiting to come out. And they're like, well, when's it coming out? How much time do I have to test? What's going to happen? Is it going to break? I'm like, you're asking me developer questions. You need to answer the developer questions. I started looking at it and going, yeah, we should probably wait to push that out. They were talking about, like pushing it on Monday and I'm like, so this. Today's just been. Last few days have been kind of this panic all of a sudden.

Speaker A: Let's move faster.

Speaker B: I'm like, still got to execute.

Speaker A: Well, hey, at least I didn't wait till Thanksgiving break when everybody's out.

Speaker B: This was just pretty good about that. Ironically, considering that the rest of the time we're like, go, go, go, go, go. It's easy on paper to be like, oh, we're going to do dev test prod, but can we prod instead of devtest prod? Which is kind of what it feels like most times.

Speaker A: I can turn it on. Yay.

Speaker C: Put it out pretty much.

Speaker B: It's always a battle. So it's a flexibility and execution battle. Startups are all about can you execute? But that's a very subjective what good execution looks like.

Speaker A: Did you take down the network?

Speaker D: No.

Speaker A: Good job.

Speaker B: Yep. It's ready to go. There's a video. I'll try to find it and post it in the chat. Actually, Tori, you may have sent it to me originally, but it's like. Like every startup has one of these guys and it's some engineer guy who's like, he's got like a Russian or Czech accent and he's just on his. On his computer type of stuff and like, hey, did you get that new upgrade out? We need it for the demo tomorrow. He's like, oh, don't worry, it's no problem. Like, I'll have it in a few hours. It's a couple hours later. It shows him playing like NBA, some NBA email on his computer with a control like, hey, is the update. It's like, no problem, I already pushed it to main. He's like, push it to main. He's like, it's a demo for the demo. He's like, it's okay, I already tested it. He's like, we didn't ask permission for that library we're going to use. He's like, that's okay, I wrote that library. He's like, everything he's doing is like, I've taken care of it somehow. Is the network going up and down for you? It's like, oh, yeah, I'm load testing a new piece of software that I wrote. It's like he's always got something somewhere going on, you know, like every startup's got one or Two of those.

Speaker A: That's like, before we go further, sign this. It means you work for us in perpetuity, so. Because when you leave, we won't know what you did.

Speaker B: We had this where, like, one of our servers was getting just blasted with a sudden, like, massive amount of traffic. So we're like looking around and looking up IPs. We're like, we're about to block this thing. One of the guys is like, what's that? Dev team? Because they're doing all that testing. So we asked them, they're like, oh, yeah, we're doing this thing. And it's just absolutely assaulting the server with like thousands of queries. And we're like, can you guys let us know before you do this stuff? Like, that's us.

Speaker A: It's a test burn.

Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Well, some of that stuff, it's like, what's $100 an hour when you do that? You know, Just want you to know. Yeah, it's. If it's fun, I enjoy it. But, man, there's times where it's like, you guys, I gotta sleep.

Speaker A: Kind of caught the nail. It's like developers and users and then being that piece in the middle.

Speaker B: Yes. You understand you've worked on many functional teams where you have to bear the down to.

Speaker A: That's not getting done behind some dysfunctional teams too.

Speaker B: Yeah, I do appreciate this group's got people who have a pretty good understanding of other layers of tech. Because I've been. I've worked with other people on startup land that they, like, they learned databases or they learned AI and they don't know anything about tech underneath that. It's just, they download a piece of software and, oh, AI comes out and it's like, do you have any appreciation for how the language model was created? The map behind that GPU and the software, the Cuda, like all this, like the CPU and the RAM and how those things interconnect. Like, no understanding that it's really hard to work with people that have zero appreciation for that. I'm okay if you don't understand it all, but have some appreciation so that when it comes time to troubleshoot, you're like, oh, I need to get a resource that knows how to do X, Y, Z. Some of the best X of people you can actually build here.

Speaker C: Many. It's not as bad now, but there's times like once a week, someone be like, I lost all my stuff. I would back it up. Or like. Or someone be like, I'm making changes to my project. Like, how do I like, back stuff up and, like, have source control, right?

Speaker B: And they're like, what? That was one of my. What's good?

Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. One of the. One of my game companies I worked with. I mean, it's just two guys, but they were doing the classic version A copy, version B on their, like, desktop, basically. Like, you guys know what source control is? They're like, go. They're like, let me blow your mind.

Speaker B: Yeah, right? Once you do it, you can't go back. You're like.

Speaker C: And then it was. And then their mind was blown because it's like, oh, you can just like, branch. And now you have your dev stuff, since you can mess everything up. But Garrett, not worry.

Speaker B: About that was in Git, you have what are called runners that do, like, jobs for you. They might compile software or do things around or whatever, and then they'll produce artifacts that people can download or push to a system. But those runners, you can host them yourself or you can have them hosted with GitHub and we'll just run them. Well, I was looking at our build and I was like, one day the bill just went up by like 3 or $4,000 between bills, like in a month. And I was like, what the heck? So I go and I look at it and we have 30 people in this thing. Like, there's a lot of people and it's not cheap. And we're like an enterprise account. We have security features and stuff enabled. So it's like, it's an expensive account, but $3,000, still not a slot, but it was about $3,400. It was just this one new machine. They stood up because they were running into where people were queuing up jobs. And this one system couldn't handle it. So somebody with access was like, oh, I'll just choose like this really Haas Runner system from GitHub. And they happen to have the access to do it because they're one of the headshed people and they're like, oh, they just need a better runner. They didn't talk to us, they just enabled it. So I'm telling the ops people, like, talk to that guy because he says that's what we should do. Here's my solution and how we can get around it. But until then, we're paying an extra three to four thousand dollars a month.

Speaker A: The bill goes to him.

Speaker B: But sometimes it's like, how many thousands of dollars do we lose in dead time not getting this done? And then we'll figure out the cheaper solution later. And you technically operationally save Money. You just don't ever realize it in your bank account. It's just you would have eked out more time.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: So I wouldn't say it's the wrong decision, but stuff like that happens all the time where you're like, why did this bill go out? Oh, okay. Now we got a thing to fix, though. After that, the rest of the devs are, like, happy. Oh, apparently somebody fixed it. Like, now. They didn't fix it. They just moved the problem to two months from now.

Speaker A: You know, when that budget goes out, there's nothing left. Yeah, we'll circle around for that.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: But the team's smart.

Speaker C: It's a. To work with it.

Speaker B: It's been just more of a struggle lately because we were pushing the pedal to them.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: I'm still waiting. I'm hoping I retire before they finally get around to letting users change their passwords. They've been talking about that for, like over 20 years before I left. And then with COVID they got funds and they go, fisher.

Speaker B: Well, we got that system pushed all the way to the end where it was going to go out, and then they didn't use it. I left. I didn't use it. And they replaced it.

Speaker A: Oh, yeah.

Speaker B: It just blew my mind.

Speaker A: No, I. There's some projects I really don't hope they finish because I don't want to deal with the implementation because it takes so long to implement it.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: By the time that was all done, that was probably a $50 or $60,000 project, I believe, that didn't get used. Maybe more.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: If you include like all the staff time. This, for some reason, reminds me of Fisher Price. Kind of. But remember the. I forget the name of them.

Speaker C: The other one, it's like the mobile or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker B: It's funny how I immediately started talking about that and you guys were like, yes, I know.

Speaker C: We had some.

Speaker B: Remember those? They like, their legs were like, permanently, like, open to, like, sit on.

Speaker C: They had like big Lego hands to it.

Speaker B: Yeah. This was called. No, Little Village People. I forgot.

Speaker C: It's like Play Mobile or something like that. It was.

Speaker B: Play one. Be less familiar.

Speaker A: We'll just paint the legs on the side.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: You just set the little guy.

Speaker B: Yeah. It was Play Mobile.

Speaker C: I think I've had a little bit of those. But we just oriented friends that thought of. There you go. Yeah.

Speaker B: Under Western way. That's what I see when I see that.

Speaker C: I don't like that drawing stuff. Like, it's almost the same style. Okay, review. I did. I think I found A system that was swapped to in December for like those three sessions for Lester.

Speaker B: Just try it out.

Speaker C: Yeah, I'll post it in Discord. But it's. The core system is Ever win and the Ever win. Ever win. Ever Win or every win. I always get that wrong. It's every win everywhere. I've never heard that. Apparently based on the system called like the Barbarians of Luminora or something like that. Leon. Nora. It's supposed to be a. I mean it seems like a really neat system. It's a 2D6 similar, not. Not quite apocalypse but 2D6 space system. But that seems. Everything is. Seems really smooth so far. And then the blood sundown setting is their weird west. And that one is really good. Really neat looking. I don't. I think. I think Steve's character might be the only one that might be a little different just because you're I guess the kid in translating it. But from what I've been reading, it won't be that big of a deal.

Speaker B: I'm halfway to weird.

Speaker A: I started there. You're. You're catching up.

Speaker C: Yeah. So I'll. I'll post those in the Discord. Yeah, I'll probably post. I'll just drop the actual PDFs because I already have them. And then maybe next week if any Next week if you guys have time to look over it and then I'll be cool. I can order some prints too. If anyone wants a hard copy. They can just get the PDF printed and spiral bound. They're like 20 bucks for the coral book. I don't know what the blood said now but yeah, it is.

Speaker A: But I would probably go for a hard copy. I like the PDF but there's just something about the tactile.

Speaker C: Well and they have multiple settings so it could be another system that we actually played regularly. It seems pretty simple.

Speaker A: Word west did pretty well. I only had two out of the three yesterday. I went with the simple exorcism type. Quest building.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: And they paid attention. We went through it in like an hour and a half.

Speaker C: Nice.

Speaker A: If the third would have been there, we probably would have just made it into this door in three hours. But it. It went well. And wow. The older nephew's like, so is there a group we're going to be working with? I've got this cursed mirror and I really don't want to leave it around. So I got hope and if this other system that we're looking to translate to, if it works well, if it's better, probably.

Speaker C: Yeah. It seems pretty simple. I Pretty much everything is 2D6 based and I haven't got to the actual damn how those might be dice based but it has hit points and stuff. Okay. Yeah.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker C: Yeah. So.

Speaker A: Didn'T have to improv a lot but it. I think it was worth it.

Speaker C: And then so this is just one thing I've noticed and I don't know if it's. It's probably just been the last couple sessions but I did a silencer reducer on our audio and it's off because I've listened to bits and pieces of it and it does clip sentences off because I can't change the reducer but it does end up cutting out like 90 minutes. It reduces the recorded audio by like 90 minutes.

Speaker B: If we.

Speaker C: Wow. If I reduce. Remove silences. So. So just as a table let's try and do better about consistently making noise. Yeah. Just. And having like pauses. Yeah. That's how this replacement. I'll just try find the good decibel level and then put it and just replace it with fart noises. The dec. Yeah. So that's just as a table we try and do better of a Keeping things moving. Yeah. Oh let's see. And then. Yeah then I guess Audrey is the only one that has blessing. The blessing of Mithra still for the one autos it says on your predefined action. Oh okay. I think that's it for review. I did. I did hear back from Andrew Vanessa. I think they're gonna try and talk their monitor I guess Vanessa's parents into babysitting the kiddo on Saturdays again so.

Speaker D: They can show up.

Speaker C: So that might happen in January and then if not I'm gonna basically give them a deadline I guess to decide if they want to come back regularly and then I'll put in real effort to finding a couple more people.

Speaker D: So sure.

Speaker C: Fill out the table. That's it really gets review stuff.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker C: So let's see. Last time. Yeah. You guys arrived back at Bra Landing in the ring. Yeah. After killing the vampire he gave he tossed the skull to Happy. He was pleased that you killed the vampire but not about having the skull tossed in his lap. He marked your debt with a meal is cleared and told you guys if you want to do any more work for a meal in the future, just go find baby face in Phantom bank. Then you guys headed off to Bob's to eat and warm up. Then off to the blacksmith to collect your jack Jock to collect this order. Talk to Ramses about your guys job that you had to go to night more then you guys convinced branches to come along. Audrey spent a few days with her learning. Starting to learn the craft of blacksmithing. Two days later before dawn. Yeah. You guys met Ramses out on the by the river. She performed ritual that Doc and Audrey participated in. And you guys got the blessing of Mithras. Then he spent some time traveling in the rain and swapping stories with Ramseys some more rain. Got attacked by bandits during witching hour. Got killed too and got shot. Audrey had a knife, but sounds like a normal trip.

Speaker A: I got a sweet for a healer. Either get shot or you shoot somebody.

Speaker B: I'm taking the taking it for the team.

Speaker A: Position. Heal thyself.

Speaker C: That's right.

Speaker A: Is that it?

Speaker B: That's right. Doing the holy act.

Speaker C: Oh, let's see. Yeah. Audrey had the knife to his throat. Jacques stabbed one through the ribs and took his gun. Ramsey's flash banged and killed two of them. When she asked the last band if they'd had enough and he didn't answer fast enough. So she shot him in the face.

Speaker B: I think we're gonna get along with her.

Speaker C: And traveling on the child again in the drizzling rain with the 98 humidity. Well, this is during witching hour too. Yeah. Ramses was on watch and spotted a creature prowling around. And then she was ablely able to quietly alert you guys and.

Speaker A: That'S right.

Speaker C: Then Doc gets weird and visit Zack. Learn about the creature that you need silver or consecrated weapons to do real damage to it since it was from the V or across from the fade. Also learned where doors are to the library. So you're all mounted up. Ramsey draws her rifle, whispers in. Her whisper is to Polaris. And they streak off at a gallop towards the mind of our. So Doc, what do you do?

Speaker B: Would we have had enough time to rest to degrade our wounds under. I don't know how long we got to rest before we got interrupted.

Speaker C: This is like another day. You guys shouldn't have any wounds.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker C: Yeah. Because he had a whole day of okay.

Speaker B: That's what I wanted to make sure.

Speaker C: Yeah. You guys should be all healed up.

Speaker B: Between that my physician.

Speaker C: I should be. Okay.

Speaker B: Okay. Got it. Sweet. Yeah, I. I'm on my horse. I'm taking off after. But in a slightly like angling out because we're supposed to like kind of surround this thing. I do tell her if I don't know if I told everyone. But I would have relayed consecrated weapons.

Speaker A: Holy.

Speaker B: I go take it off. Don't let it get a hold of you. Bad juju.

Speaker C: S bullets. You guys are really hard to see.

Speaker B: Little.

Speaker A: Which one's here?

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: So as you guys are writing it, there you go.

Speaker C: Brandy's already seen this thing, but now you actually see, like, the actual description or the image is worse than the description.

Speaker B: Lovely.

Speaker C: Yeah. And it's got, like, long tentacles flowing around on its back as it's, like, creeping around in the woods. Kind of like it's exploring.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker C: Yep. So I'll say you guys are like far distance right now. If you're galloping up towards it and kind of like fanning out around it, it's. It's noticed you, and it's kind of like looking at you guys, but it's unsure of what you are.

Speaker B: So if she's running, like, I guess say she's running out, I'm gonna, you know, kind of start to form a circle. Like, if she would go in this direction, I'd start fan out like these start to try to encircle it. And both my guns have silver bullets in.

Speaker A: Is there open space that we can lure it in or is it all just kind of heavily treed?

Speaker C: It's fairly heavily tre. This. This is kind of like. Because you guys are in like, a temperate deciduous or a rain. A rainforest. Sure. Deciduous type tree. So it's. It's not as dense as, like, these pictures, but. So there's like, you guys can see it.

Speaker A: Like, we can ride around.

Speaker C: Yeah. It's not super dense here because you're getting closer to, like, the savannah.

Speaker B: I'm not plugging Absalom catching my hair in a tree.

Speaker C: Only if you roll that, I guess.

Speaker B: Yeah, right. Go straight towards it.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker B: There we go.

Speaker A: Is there a ridge or a high ground?

Speaker B: It's.

Speaker C: It's kind of. It's fairly flat in here. All right. So. So yeah. Audrey, where do you. Where are you riding off to?

Speaker A: Probably going to seeing that thing. Like, this one does not want to be alone. Oh, next to it, kind of little behind.

Speaker B: See if he gets grabs first.

Speaker A: Well, if he gets grabbed, then I can react in turn. But it's a pistol in one hand, a silver knife in the other, and let's go.

Speaker D: Shotgun all the way.

Speaker A: And I'm whispering a knock, like, don't let me fall. Don't let me fall.

Speaker B: What did you say?

Speaker D: Shotgun all the way.

Speaker B: Let's go.

Speaker C: All right. You're just giving up to your shotgun race? Yep. All right. I do need silver.

Speaker D: Is it silver?

Speaker A: Well, you got the. The blade, the bayonet on the end of it.

Speaker B: Because the dream first or my Faith.

Speaker A: Person said silver preferred.

Speaker B: I don't know if the other one really hurt it.

Speaker A: After all the stories from Ramsay. Look at Chuck saying, hey, guess what? I'm a squire.

Speaker B: Where I be in pistol range.

Speaker C: Whenever you want to be. This is this. This is you guys that take the.

Speaker B: Summer range. I start shooting at it.

Speaker D: Shoot it in the face, shotgun doing.

Speaker B: Here we go.

Speaker A: Lucky.

Speaker B: Do you max out on luck?

Speaker C: No.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker D: No, you can level up if you get seven punches.

Speaker A: So if we were in a little slower time, I'd probably up my. My decks so that I could actually shoot better.

Speaker B: Yeah, we definitely need to shoot better.

Speaker A: Well, we haven't had a downtime.

Speaker C: All right. Yeah. So the you. You fire and your pellets, like, splash on it. You see, like, some of the flesh kind of rip a little bit, and then it like, like dead locks on you and just runs up and with one of its big legs, slaps your horse and you both go flying. Or I guess you both get, like, knocked down to the side, whatever happened. So you give me. Yeah. Defy danger as you're flown from your horse, and then you're okay, so you land fine. But your horse has a major gash in its side.

Speaker A: Chuckles would give me during works.

Speaker D: Yep.

Speaker C: And then it, like, is turns and is, like, running up to you, and you see, like, tentacles starting to, like, come out from underneath its bottom, like, reaching for you. All right, Audrey, you're. We're like, right there.

Speaker B: As.

Speaker A: As I see that, I go ahead and start trying to fill it full of silver lead. Is that the word? Silver lead?

Speaker B: Probably lead in there.

Speaker C: Silver, sure.

Speaker D: See, if it's pure silver.

Speaker A: We'll find out what rinse he's made.

Speaker C: So that'd be an aim.

Speaker A: And fire.

Speaker C: Are you gonna just fan the spray and fire so that just empty your cold drying into it?

Speaker A: I'm not sure ready to completely empty it. Tempting. I'm gonna spend one lot for a seven, so that's a partial success.

Speaker B: And don't want to have your brain sucked out.

Speaker A: No, but I'm going to ride off. So if Drac got knocked this way, I'm going to ride off this way after I pulled its attention.

Speaker C: Gotcha.

Speaker B: Does that matter?

Speaker A: What the hell am I doing here?

Speaker C: All right. Seven to nine on demon fire. That's seven.

Speaker A: Nine.

Speaker C: Also choose one. Taking a shot places you in danger, or your shot is glancing and less effective.

Speaker A: I'm in danger as I'm drawing its attention.

Speaker C: All right. Yeah. So you.

Speaker A: I don't know if I'm in range of the legs and the tentacles.

Speaker C: But I'll say, yeah, you shoot it, and it kind of lets out this, like, high pierce, high pitch, like, piercing, like, scream. It's like. And it, like, turns at you, and it's, like, kind of turns more towards you, but you do see the tentacles are, like, almost around jocks legs as. Yeah, it's just jump Jack's legs. It's still reaching for it, but it's turning and starting to come towards you. So you do have this attention.

Speaker A: Okay, we'll take a second shot. That's an utter failure. I'm not willing to spend that much luck to make it happy. It's like a five minus one. So that's a four.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker B: Meat's about to be on their menu, boys.

Speaker C: Yeah. So I say, so when a 10th kill grabs around your legs. Jacques. And then it. And then rushes, takes a quick steps into Audrey, and also, like, gashes, like, just slaps your horse down. So give me a defy danger as you're flung from your horse as your horse is not from underneath you.

Speaker B: So, yeah, it, like, slaps him, and then he comes in and shoots and it slaps him. I want to, like, like, come between, like a strafing run. Come between and rise. About to turn. I'm gonna take a holy water thing out and just be like. And just throw it at its head.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker A: Brace for impact. That'll let me use.

Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, you can use grit.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker C: Let's see.

Speaker A: That would get me to eight.

Speaker C: All right. Yep. So you'll hit the ground, Take minor bruises and scrapes. Your horse took the brent of that. So it has a major wound on it. Unfortunate distraction of it. 9.

Speaker B: I'm just gonna make that a 10 noise. Just like, at its face to, like, in the eyes.

Speaker C: Just. Yeah, it hits there and it, like, it actually starts, like, sizzling and, like, melting and, like. And it's, like, really screaming now. Yeah.

Speaker B: I veer off, though, immediately.

Speaker C: Right? Yeah. And. And it's busy with. There's, like, tentacles running towards Audrey as well.

Speaker B: So are you. Is he down?

Speaker D: I'm off my horse.

Speaker C: Yeah. Jack's. That's true. You landed properly. Sauce. Yeah.

Speaker B: But you're standing up.

Speaker C: I say, yeah, so. And then Audrey landed. So I'll say he's rolling. Ramsey's.

Speaker B: Like, would you want to get out of there?

Speaker D: We'll find out.

Speaker B: Because I'm running by. I could put a room out.

Speaker D: Let's see. I think I'm getting grabbed.

Speaker C: Yeah. We'll say there's 10 people's coming for you because I forgot you had the 10. So you landed on your feet.

Speaker A: Is it round of horses as well?

Speaker C: It seems to be ignoring them for the most part. Like, it's been, like, focused on you guys, especially coming your birdiness. Oh. But yeah, you guys kind of see Ramsey's barely at range, and then you just see her kind of, like, stand up in the saddle with her rifle, and she just lets loose of her and shoots several rounds into it. Yeah. So you see this round slam into, like, the back side. That thing spins tiny jock as it's turning. The tentacle is coming around to try and grab you 10. All right. You avoid the.

Speaker B: Matrix style.

Speaker C: I was gonna say same thing, Audrey. It's. It's. Yeah, it's trying to, like, grab both of you guys as it's turning and beginning to, like, rush off towards.

Speaker A: If the tentacle's kind of going wide, can I aim to slash at it with my silver blade?

Speaker C: Yeah, if you want to try and cut it. If you want to fight it, I'm fine with it. You can do that. Yeah, you can try and cut it. We'll sound it. Let's see what the dice say.

Speaker A: Tenre's more up close, Bailey.

Speaker C: Yeah. So you on the. On the 10, plus you have the sub restrain, which I'll say, that is you can avoid the tentacle, or you deal decisive critical damage, which I. You essentially chopping through a tentacle or you avoid their direct counterattack.

Speaker A: Let's do damage and avoid the. The direct killing.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker A: Because I don't know if it's going to.

Speaker C: All right. Yeah. So you dodge it. You cut the tentacle as it swings by dodging it, and you see, like, almost like a vapor, like, escape out of the. The tentacle as it's, like, half, like, hanging limp, but it's very much focused on you. And so it, like, stopped pursuing Ramses and his turn back to. I guess there's more tentacles coming at you now, Jacques.

Speaker D: What you do, it's facing away from you.

Speaker C: Slight halfway.

Speaker D: I'll start shooting at one of his time and trying to blow it off.

Speaker B: This is my boom, boom.

Speaker D: They ain't working.

Speaker C: Yeah, I'll say. Yeah. So you shoot at tentacles. You don't get any good hits, but then two of them come and like, wrap, like, wrap up, like, half your lower body and start, like, crushing your body. So moderate. All right, Doc.

Speaker B: See those come up. I actually ride up and have both my guns, and I go. I just shoot both the tentacles, like, near his body. Not, you know, into you, but, like, just off the bottom so I can try and blow them away.

Speaker A: What, you mean he's not backing for your shot?

Speaker B: I guess just be spraying pretty.

Speaker C: Yeah, they say if you want to try. If you're trying to actually, like, shoot them off. Yeah. This will take because they're. They're thick enough that, like, one bullet's not good.

Speaker B: Or I want to piss it off enough that it lets go.

Speaker C: Yeah. So, yeah, spray and pray. Fan both hammers. This is one at a time.

Speaker A: So do you get luck off each gun?

Speaker C: No, it's just the move that gives you the luck.

Speaker B: I'm gonna spend points to make it a seven.

Speaker C: How's that? All right, then. Yeah. You have the choice. Unintarget, unintarded, unintard, unregarded. Oh, so my shots are retarded? Or the. Yeah, so you hit some. You hit jock. Or the enemy begins to focus on you.

Speaker B: Maybe just focuses on me. Tentacles off. That's more realistic, I think.

Speaker D: I don't know.

Speaker B: Yeah, I shot you once.

Speaker D: It's messy.

Speaker B: I'm extra careful now. I'm done shooting you as much as I can. I don't want it to be effective, so.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker B: I landed the tentacles with both birds.

Speaker C: Yeah. So it's got.

Speaker B: These are silver.

Speaker C: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So it. You blast into it and hit tentacles, but not much else. And it. It does, like, look at you. And then it starts. Like, the tentacles are, like, starting to retract or pull towards its mouth. That has jock.

Speaker B: It doesn't let go.

Speaker C: Nope. We did shoot the tentacles, but it didn't drop them. Dropped him. Ramses is out around behind it. Hits it with someone. More rounds from her rifle, huh?

Speaker D: No.

Speaker B: So would that been considered, Emptying both my guns?

Speaker C: Yeah, I think. Silver bullets. Yeah. You must spend time reloading to be able to shoot. Yeah. So you would have emptied your guns.

Speaker B: So 12 bullets are done.

Speaker C: So you damage the tentacles, but not enough for them to uncoil. And the thing is, it was, like, sped up. Boing. Drop towards its mouth. Ramsey's hits it, and one of its, like, six legs is not working anymore.

Speaker B: I want to reel my horse up and kick the tentacles.

Speaker A: Just stomp on it.

Speaker C: All right. That will actually just be.

Speaker A: Is that a horse?

Speaker B: Stat.

Speaker C: Well, this would probably be more of just your own skill.

Speaker A: Smarts for it.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: Turn it around and course kick it 7. Geez, this barely making it. I'll just keep myself in danger, but be successful.

Speaker C: Yeah. So you kick it, and one of the tentacles is loosened up a Little bit. Audrey, you have a pair of tentacles coming at you Again, I'm gonna run from the.

Speaker A: The tentacles. I'm running towards the mouth. I holster the one pistol I got was silver, and I pull out my bottle of holy water. I'm running for the mouth.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker A: So I've got my silver blade in one hand and the holy water in the other. The goal is to slash any tentacles that get close and throw the holy water in the mouth.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker A: Because it's probably got a wide open mouth because it's trying to pull a shock into it.

Speaker C: Yeah. The mouth is, like, big enough to, like, eat a. Eat a person fairly easily. It's just, like, you know, the thing's about the size of a polar bear. That's decent, but it's, like, mostly mouth and, like, head. Yeah. So, yeah, give me a reactive danger as you're running through, trying to get through these tentacles.

Speaker A: Okay, so would that be great because I'm using the blade to fend off, or is that a different set that I would be.

Speaker C: No, if you're just trying to, like, chop and power your way through, then. Yeah. Grip.

Speaker A: That would be nine.

Speaker C: All right. Yeah, you'll get there, but I'll say you take some good lumps. So you got, like, moderate bruising. You have some heavy bruises on your body now.

Speaker A: So my minor bruise goes to a moderate or I have a minor and a.

Speaker C: You have a minor and moderate. They're just.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker C: They'll say. Yeah, moderate wounds.

Speaker A: I just need to know how many boxes you check.

Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A: And then as I get close when the water is.

Speaker C: Yep.

Speaker A: So that would be a reflex file. I'm going to use my blessing for that one.

Speaker B: There you go.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker A: To make. Make sure I'm using the force, Luke.

Speaker C: All right. Yeah. You get in there, chuck that thing right in its mouth, and then it, like, you, like, you're like. Like gurgling and, like, you know, like, when acid, like, melts into stuff, you, like, hear that? And you almost see, like, black smoke starting to, like, issue out of its mouth, and it's. And it's starting to, like, dance around frantically and then turns and begins to run away. So it's running away, dragging Jacques. So, Jacques, what do you. What do you do?

Speaker D: I can get out. I'm wrapped up.

Speaker A: That's all I can do.

Speaker C: Yeah, you have, like, one tentacle wrapped around your lower half. Your arms are still free.

Speaker D: No, I reach down and just try and stab it with my silver hand.

Speaker C: All right. All right. So which one are you Picking bring your fight option. This dude. Critical damage. Avoid their counterattack.

Speaker D: No critical damage.

Speaker C: All right. You chop through that tentacle. They're left rolling on the ground and takes a minor bruises. Ramses is kind of out in front of it. Let's lose some more rounds from her rifle. And that leg that was like starting to limp. Quickness stopped working. Can get the sense that the face is starting to panic the doc. What do you do?

Speaker B: I'm riding behind it with a reload. How fast is it?

Speaker C: It's faster than a person can run.

Speaker B: Like is the horse having any trouble?

Speaker C: No. The horse would be able to keep up with it, but a human would be hard to keep up with it. But it's moving pretty quick. So Audrey, what do you do?

Speaker A: Well, I can't run and catch up horses down.

Speaker C: But your horse would like all your horse. Your both your horses would have like stood back up. Like they just have a gash in their sides or they got hit.

Speaker A: Still.

Speaker C: In this oriented huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not that fast.

Speaker A: Trying to shoot it one more time as it's leaving. I miss. That's a recipe.

Speaker B: Quite the night.

Speaker A: When we get done, I'm up in my decks. Gotta level up.

Speaker C: Yep. So Ramsey's pursuing a doc. Where you pursuing it while reloading?

Speaker B: Yeah. It takes time to reload.

Speaker D: Shoot out my pistol.

Speaker C: Eric.

Speaker D: I put myself in danger.

Speaker A: Comes back, say why are you.

Speaker C: Yeah. And say you. You hit it. Still going running away. Ramsey shoots it some more. Now you're starting to see, I guess you guys that are on the ground or there are like droplets of like black flake hickor that are spilling out of it. After those shots Ramsey's fired, it's slowing. It's starting to move slower, but it's still running. So the dock whoops.

Speaker B: I lay into it with some silver bullets.

Speaker C: Yeah. Those bullets hit home and then it like crashes down and it's kind of like following around. Say it's probably like 40ft from Jock and Audrey and probably like 20ft from Doc and Ramsey's. Roughly.

Speaker B: Does it still have a hole in him?

Speaker C: No, no, he cut himself out. Okay.

Speaker B: I wasn't sure if he got it out. I stay a distance.

Speaker C: All right. So Audrey ch.

Speaker D: Be running up.

Speaker C: How close? What are you going to do when you get there?

Speaker D: Get within pistol range and keep shooting it.

Speaker C: Say with. With it not moving, you don't. So you don't even need to roll. So yeah, with both your 12 more rounds into it.

Speaker D: Mine are just normal.

Speaker C: Okay. You see him impacting Were they? Not that everyone put silver.

Speaker B: I put silver into it.

Speaker C: Yeah. No, I was just saying like last week.

Speaker D: No, I hadn't yet. Waiting until we got.

Speaker C: Oh, seriously?

Speaker D: You only have so many. Yes.

Speaker C: You see them impacting, they're not as effective as the silver rounds, but in its weakened state, it's 12 more bullets into it. Stops moving. Ramsey's rides up like within like 10, 15ft of it. Empties a few more rounds into it, and then he hops off for a horse and walks up to it and starts kicking it around a few different places.

Speaker D: So what the rest of you guys do?

Speaker B: I keep my distance.

Speaker D: Check out my horse.

Speaker A: Make sure I'm reloaded.

Speaker D: But I reload my Vel.

Speaker A: Be sure it's dead. Audrey probably walk up with that solar knife, just jam it through the eye. It's like there's. There's a brain in here somewhere. I'm going to tickle.

Speaker C: Yeah. When you poke it, stab it in the eye, it doesn't even twitch. And like this glowy liquid flows out of its eyeball.

Speaker A: My blade up on it. Back away and turn to my horse. Leave over. Say, doc, two patients.

Speaker B: Not the hell of this thing.

Speaker A: Not that thing.

Speaker B: My horse. Oh, sorry.

Speaker A: You're as close as I got to of that.

Speaker B: Yeah. I go look at him.

Speaker A: Patch up.

Speaker B: This horse with the healing sound.

Speaker C: Yep. So then you guys get your horses patched up. They're still wounded, but not in danger of them like bleeding out or anything. So both courses were here.

Speaker B: Okay, I'll just. I'll put on a salad each one and that'll remove the minor stuff within 30 minutes.

Speaker A: Mine was major.

Speaker D: Mine was major.

Speaker B: Well, then I couldn't figure this out. Just work on.

Speaker A: You got an extra cat debt?

Speaker B: No, my tennis racket needs repairs. Sorry. It's like that far side horse medical guide, but everything was like, shoot it, shoot it. Shoot doors, shoot doors. Hang nail, shoot all the broken leg. Yeah, yeah. As long as my surgeon skill works on working on that. I've been around horses a lot. Probably autopsy. Some type will come. Says patch up an ally. Legal horses count.

Speaker A: It's one of the reasons Black was so upset when we shot his horse.

Speaker B: Yeah, he had it coming.

Speaker A: So I think that horse is already dead.

Speaker B: It would take some downtime, but it will come.

Speaker C: Yeah. So you guys spend a couple hours, you can reduce the wood level by one on their horses.

Speaker A: And then if you still have enough energy, I won't be impatient too.

Speaker D: Are you with me?

Speaker A: Yeah, I got beat up a bit. Post around. I Think, Jeff.

Speaker C: No.

Speaker A: You had safe landings.

Speaker D: I got moderate and minor.

Speaker A: Yeah. Same.

Speaker D: Jack wouldn't be too concerned to fix.

Speaker C: Up the horses first. Yeah.

Speaker B: Are we just starting out today?

Speaker C: Yeah, it's. It's actually like. It'd probably be like three. Three. Between three and four in the morning. That was last watch. Okay.

Speaker B: After we get that like two hour time, that'll put the salves on the horses. So like this day they'll completely heal. Potentially useful because we might get into some more trouble.

Speaker A: I'm not going to be moving fast. Have to walk them for a bit.

Speaker B: Hear me talking to the horse while I work on it?

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: I'm gonna fix you then. No more fighting with otherworldly creatures, you hear me? For at least three days. I'm just talking to the horse.

Speaker A: Knox would look like an increase to you.

Speaker B: Stop letting your writer get you into trouble. You hear me.

Speaker A: With that way?

Speaker B: Probably. Yeah.

Speaker C: Yeah. Well, you guys are. Well, Doc is working on the horses and stuff. Ramsay's been. He's been like collecting some wood and piling it around. The. The creature.

Speaker B: I showed Ramsey that they have a Molotov. She wants to use it.

Speaker A: It.

Speaker C: Was like, you want to spend that resource on it?

Speaker B: I don't know. She. If what she needs to kill it. If she knows what she needs. If just a regular fire is going.

Speaker A: To do it or she needs accelerate.

Speaker B: You can try the regular fire.

Speaker A: This is purification.

Speaker C: Oh. She does like, after she builds the pyre, she does like go like actually on the body and carve a simplified symbol of Mithras into its like, flesh. And then she lights the fire and then she starts like speaking in Latin and the symbol starts glowing like brighter and brighter, golden. And eventually the whole thing gets consumed. Over the two hours, there's just ash left.

Speaker B: Well, that was an adventure. You guys fought well, if a bit reckless.

Speaker C: Especially fighting an unknown creature.

Speaker B: Well, my friend did say, in the other realm, stay away from it, which we didn't. So you're right.

Speaker A: You make an interesting shield.

Speaker B: We have a habit. I tell them we have a habit of getting up close and personal with things. Usually get the job done.

Speaker C: This is lots of jobs done.

Speaker D: I swear.

Speaker B: Some remnants of my last bite. When I say that.

Speaker A: Is it because we get too close or they come too close?

Speaker B: I don't know yet. I'm not sure we're going to live long enough to figure that out.

Speaker C: So. Yeah. So you guys are about 20 miles from night or.

Speaker D: Yep.

Speaker C: So I don't know how much you want. How close you want to get before you like make a camp or you just want to go right all the way into the. Right to the town and get there at night. It will be dark now, especially after.

Speaker D: And go at night.

Speaker B: But we can get out in the outskirts and camp.

Speaker D: Yeah. All right. That was the plan. Get somewhat close so we can get it.

Speaker A: If there's a safe spot to camp, maybe a cave or a gully if it's still raining.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: Something like an hour away or something. Or half hour.

Speaker A: Yeah. Within a mile or so.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker A: We don't have to worry about slipping up to eat.

Speaker B: Any friends? Yeah. No visitors from town. I don't have any silver bullets left, but from the sound of it, I'm not going to do a whole.

Speaker A: I'll give you what I got. I got mine. Sorry.

Speaker B: We'll keep yours for you. They're going to go fast.

Speaker A: You seen how well I shoot here.

Speaker B: You see me, I just take three and I put them into one of my guns through my next three shots.

Speaker C: Yeah. So you guys spend most of the day writing tonight? For the winter of my life. You guys gonna be near the roads or you want more in the wilderness for your camp?

Speaker A: I'd have Ramsey pick the camp. She knows the area that seems safe.

Speaker D: Only not on the road.

Speaker A: She also knows that there's a place close to that side of town, so we'll be able to slip in easier.

Speaker C: Yeah. So you guys would camp kind of like on this mile out, southwest direction from town or whatever. Not many of the roads or anything. There's not anything else to do. And someone can roll up, make camp.

Speaker D: Do you need things?

Speaker C: Yeah, it's just a flat 2D stick 6.

Speaker B: It's the worst camp ever.

Speaker C: Let's say everyone's a jock camp.

Speaker A: It's a dry creek bed in the rain.

Speaker D: Yeah. Doctors find the tree and go, this looks good. And it goes to sleep.

Speaker B: Takes a dump next to the tree.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: And then goes to sleep right there.

Speaker A: My territory.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: Goes on the other side of the tree.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker D: Other sides for sleeping we have the poop side, the eat inside, the sleep inside.

Speaker B: Gotta make sure which side's up, wind and which side's down.

Speaker C: It's efficient.

Speaker B: Incredibly efficient.

Speaker A: Settled. Saying. In the summer the house is always too close.

Speaker B: In the winter, it's always too far away.

Speaker C: Yeah. Because you guys had a 6 minus 80 mark luck and then endangered manifests. Yep.

Speaker A: So can I spend some of my luck in a increase of stat depending this night or are you not safe enough?

Speaker C: You could have while you were making camp because that's part of the make camp and we have watch order, so witching hour apparently is popular for dangerous benefits.

Speaker D: I was second or third.

Speaker C: Yeah, the Ramsey's was last and I rolled four on the watch thing, so.

Speaker A: So that's seven plus. So that would be eight. Luck gets my reflexes up to a zero.

Speaker C: You guys are all woken up by Ramseys again. She's just like, hurry, arm yourselves. There's a pack of hellhounds on the way.

Speaker A: They're good for regular bullets, right?

Speaker D: It's like, thankfully, yes, my gun.

Speaker B: Is it pretty clear here?

Speaker C: It's foresty. I mean like, what do you like, range wise? Yeah, it's gonna say just like, what are you trying to shoot?

Speaker B: Would a rifle be good here or like to see them coming or.

Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. It's not super dense forest.

Speaker B: I get my rifle out so I can try to shoot them sooner than later. Don't get up on my horse.

Speaker A: Shotgun. You have the ratchet of a shotgun. Down below, stomps dogs. And back to the fire with some extra sticks. Some brands that can be taken advantage of.

Speaker C: Yeah. So you guys all get your defensive dances. So Audrey, what do you do? Yeah, you guys see the. I guess you see like glowing like red eyes in the dark. They're kind of like prowling. They haven't quite approached the light yet, but they seem to be. They're definitely coming your way.

Speaker A: Build up the fire a little bit. Shotguns ready.

Speaker B: I see a pr. The ice stop. And they're. Angel, take a shot at her.

Speaker C: All right, go ahead.

Speaker B: I know where their head's at.

Speaker C: You're either in danger or a glancing shot.

Speaker B: Glancing shot. Send a warning shot.

Speaker A: Yep.

Speaker C: Yeah, you shoot at the face and you hear a bullet glance off metal.

Speaker B: Off metal.

Speaker C: And the. And the dog like lets out like a howl. And then you hear answering. How's about seven total glasses on Metal Flamingo.

Speaker B: Well, that's new.

Speaker A: Hey, John, do you ever hear Armored Hill house?

Speaker C: Nope. And then. Yeah, I was gonna say, then you. The. You hear like. Yeah, the. After the tea. Has the bullet ricocheted off metal? Yeah, you hear the howl and then barking and growling and rushing feet. All right, junk.

Speaker D: I see some eyes. I'm going to shoot.

Speaker C: Yeah, there's.

Speaker D: 12.

Speaker C: Which option you're picking? Oh, actually there is.

Speaker D: Well, shoot at the eyes. My pistols.

Speaker C: Yeah, you see the. Yeah, you see the. The eyes tumble and you hear like. Like something like skid on the ground.

Speaker B: Terraformed his head.

Speaker C: And then Ramsay's rifle goes off and you hear another Another one dropped. All right, Audrey, we're background to you.

Speaker A: I'm holding.

Speaker C: Okay. You're just waiting. All right.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker C: Doc and Jock, you guys can. I mean, if you're just like, loose with John. Yeah, I'm just watching eyes and like, they're like. There's like a pack rushing straight towards you. All right. The pack is probably. All right.

Speaker D: I'll put myself in danger.

Speaker C: All right, so. Yeah. Yep. You shoot one, another one drops. So. Yeah. So as in Doc. Yeah, you shoot again. And then like, you found a bullet. Yeah, apparently so. Out of the. Out of like the edge of the campfire, you see, like, it's like a. Like, almost like a rottweiler style dog, but it has like a metal, like, cage around it's like its face, like, it's been like armored muzzle. It's not muzzle, but it would. It's kind of like that. So it's like his face's head has been like, reinforced with metal. And it's leaping. Oh, maybe you see it like leap and land on. Land on the dock also. You get. Yeah, it just knocks you to the ground and then just like starts tearing into you. So I'll see you.

Speaker A: Is it solder open? Is the head the only part that's armored?

Speaker C: Yeah, so, yeah, you see that one, like, and then the whole pack is also behind it. So there's four dogs. Hellhound. Most of them have like these big old, like, spiky collar that they've seen like the. The herd, sheep dogs that like defending it.

Speaker A: The boar hunters.

Speaker C: Yeah, they have like those big metal collars of spikes. And then. Yeah. Then the. I guess the lead one with the metal enforced head is knocked down and bit.

Speaker A: Doc, shotgun to the big one. It's like right there.

Speaker C: And then. Yeah, I was gonna say one is broke out, but yeah, shot.

Speaker A: Okay. My last two left. But it's a seven.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker A: And we're going to go for a successful shotgun round and then draw attention and get ready to.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker A: Yeah, just swing till I can reload the shotgun. Unless it's like some sort of multi round. I don't know.

Speaker C: The shotgun more of a pump or.

Speaker A: Is this more of a.

Speaker C: No, they definitely wouldn't be.

Speaker A: Oh, chamber.

Speaker C: Double barrel, probably. Yeah, I don't think pumps existed at this time period. I'd have to double check with it for where you got it from. There would definitely not open like fancy guns. So it'll be like break up, break action. So.

Speaker A: So double barrel in the side of the. The armored leader dog will draw Attention. And we'll. We'll get ready to use the butt on it. The shotgun.

Speaker C: Yeah. So you knocked that one off, Jock, because you're not sure if it's dead or alive, but it did like. Or doc or docked. Knocked it off, Doc.

Speaker A: That's my first one. The chopped off. Yeah.

Speaker C: And then. Yeah. One of the hell houses broke off. Just rushing at you. One's rushing it. Yeah. Everyone has a dog on them.

Speaker D: Aiming fire for me.

Speaker B: Yeah, that one blows off me, too. I pull my pistol up on my side, just.

Speaker C: All right, Yaki, shoot your dog down.

Speaker B: Oh, 11.

Speaker A: That.

Speaker B: So 12.

Speaker C: All right, that. Yeah, let's say shoot it, like, right behind the. The head, behind, like, where the metal is. And kill it. Yeah. Audrey, you have one rushing at you.

Speaker A: I get ready to catch it with the butt of the.

Speaker C: All right. Yeah. See, you could hold on. Say. Then it. You, like, go to. Yeah, you hit it, but grab. Bite your, like, the stock in your gun and rips it out of your hand. So, like, flings it away.

Speaker A: As it flings the gun away, pull out my knife and go there.

Speaker C: All right. Roll it up again. And then you hear Ramsey's fire and grunting like this, like, getting, like, hit. She got bit by the dog and then shoots it. So she has.

Speaker A: Okay, I got in a nine.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker A: So I've got the attention of that one on me.

Speaker C: Yeah. So you. You'll.

Speaker A: I'll keep the attention.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: I'll come pick the text, try to execute it.

Speaker C: Gonna say, yeah, you. As you go in. It does bite you. So you have moderate. You earn a moderate room, but that is enough to finish it off. So all the dogs are dead. Ramses has a moderate.

Speaker B: Do they look like they're just animals.

Speaker A: Or are they, like, corrupted or somebody's hunting pack?

Speaker C: Yeah, it's kind of like a hunting pack, but they're. They're not normal dogs. Like, they look like almost, like, undead something. Like, they have, like.

Speaker B: So not good eating.

Speaker C: No, you would not want to eat those at all.

Speaker D: And go to the fourth side of the tree, which is the garbage pond.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: Yeah. Don't change the fire. We might need that for cooking beans in the morning.

Speaker B: She might speak up, but.

Speaker C: Yeah, that was all right. Yeah. So it quiets down the call of, like, 30 seconds when Ramsey's getting you guys up early with good, good watch. So it's like, three. Just after three in the morning.

Speaker B: Start patching people.

Speaker C: And it is rain, and I was raided.

Speaker A: I'm so glad the sound's waterproof.

Speaker C: It's probably about 765 degrees in the morning before the sun's come up.

Speaker D: I went through.

Speaker A: That's why we're just passing through.

Speaker B: Did you get hurt at all?

Speaker D: I got hurt last fight. But more moderate than a minor.

Speaker C: So the miners would be gone after arrest. Yeah.

Speaker A: The moderates would become minors.

Speaker C: If after he works on them. They will. And then. Then they'll be. Yeah, you guys will be.

Speaker B: If you had minors. Spine does also at the same time. This accelerates the healing into that.

Speaker A: Cool.

Speaker C: Yeah. So if you had any moderates from the previous fight after, you'd still have minors right now.

Speaker A: And then if you worked on this again, that would.

Speaker C: Well, no, that's what I'm saying. If you worked on them today, your moderates would be down to minors. No. Yeah.

Speaker B: If I treat that now, then it will go away.

Speaker D: Treat.

Speaker C: Yep. So you just spent a couple hours healing up, eating. So it's about five in the morning. Sun's broke the north horizon.

Speaker A: See if we can slip into town.

Speaker C: Walking or riding up there.

Speaker A: Probably right to a certain point. And.

Speaker C: Yep.

Speaker A: I don't know. What are the horse's reactions to wandering undead?

Speaker B: I don't know how useful it would be to be on horseback.

Speaker C: Say Ram is spinning. Ramsay is like, you should probably leave them. Like, if we're gonna ride up there, we probably need to leave them. At least they're like 100 yards out of town. Because I don't know how. If the specters wander that far.

Speaker B: Yeah. Leave town or not. Let's get him out of sight so you know where they're at.

Speaker C: And she's also like, there's probably bodies scattered all over the area. Not just in the town, but on the outskirts of it too.

Speaker B: So you can just get pretty far out.

Speaker A: The specter zone. Slowly grow as people get close and more dead bodies are created.

Speaker B: Like, do people who die there become specters themselves? Well, if it was a horror that created it originally, maybe not. Unless it's an ongoing effect.

Speaker A: Well, that's what I Level of weirdness.

Speaker C: I like it seemed like at the. Like, when we were. When we were. I was last here during this. This slaughter, it did seem like anybody that died a specter, they rose up as a specter. So I don't know.

Speaker B: Well, don't die.

Speaker A: Plan.

Speaker B: That's my advice as your doctor.

Speaker C: She checked all them. It's like. Oh, good advice, though.

Speaker B: That's what I'm here for. Well, plans to not get dead. Don't get touched in the west side. Right. You Know or Ramsay, you know where we're going.

Speaker C: Yep. That's not super. Shouldn't be a long walk, but it's probably going to be dangerous regardless.

Speaker B: And you said they could census.

Speaker C: Most likely that. Pull up the specters to make sure.

Speaker B: Is there a surefire way that one of us could maybe piss them off, go for. If we wanted to do it on purpose. I'm just thinking, if it comes down to it, that person needs a horse. We're getting close to the place. Well, but if we're faster than them, because she said that they don't go faster than humans. You just have to outrun the fastest specter.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: I'm just saying to gather them all up and make sure you're ahead, because.

Speaker B: That may be something would be to like, free ride through the town if we know they're going to send us anyways. Maybe if we get them distracted, pull them away from that part of town and then the rest of the group goes in.

Speaker A: Audrey's feeling slightly crazy. I need two Molotovs.

Speaker B: I wasn't suggesting you had to do it.

Speaker A: No. If I'm going to get their attention, I'm going to burn part of this place down, make sure I get it right.

Speaker B: I'm saying it is an option. One of us can run around and cause a ruckus while the others go steal the thing.

Speaker C: Ramsay, like, if one of you wants to pursue this plan, I'm fine with it.

Speaker B: Do you think it would work?

Speaker C: Probably. I mean, they hate. They hate the living, so that could be pretty.

Speaker B: Pretty.

Speaker A: You can be hateful, but can you be aggravated?

Speaker C: So just go riding around as if you're on a horse making noise. The guarantee stuff's going to come.

Speaker B: How many. How many steps are we talking about?

Speaker A: Oh, 2000, give or take.

Speaker C: I was going to say it was a town of several hundred.

Speaker B: So I'm just thinking of how. How easy would it be to get cornered that.

Speaker C: Well, you. You get like. I'll say you guys are like discussing this, like 100. Like you've ridden up, so you're like 100 yards out there. There's no walls. It's like. Oh, it's. It's a. You stay on the roads, you'd probably be all right. I think most of them, but who knows what's. Stuff was burnt and demolished. Actually, listen. No, actually, not most. I should say most of the town looks like it's, like dilapidated and stuff, but there's not a whole ton of damage that you see.

Speaker B: All right, Timothy, I volunteer to go Piss him off. Unless somebody's really excited to do so.

Speaker C: I'll do it.

Speaker D: I don't care.

Speaker B: But you're a good shot.

Speaker C: Yeah, but I don't know.

Speaker A: Spectators don't seem to.

Speaker D: I don't know if anything does anything to them.

Speaker C: So she. You guys would know that. You. She would have told you that, like, shooting them or hitting them with silver dissipates them for about, like, it doesn't kill them, but they can't reform for a while.

Speaker B: I mean, if you're excited to go do it, that's fine. But you're a good shot, too. The objective is to get the thing.

Speaker C: And he's like. I. She's like, no offense, Doc, but I'd probably rather have you be the distraction because Audrey seems to handle a knife while Doc can shoot.

Speaker B: I've only got three bullets in my.

Speaker C: Three silver bullets. And I got.

Speaker B: So I'm not offended.

Speaker C: But she's also goes on. There may be other things in here besides just specters.

Speaker A: That's true, too.

Speaker C: The horse is pretty fast. You trust your horse and your skill so far.

Speaker B: But if I. If he fails, I won't have time to chastise him. I go back and get that.

Speaker A: What do you mean? Be an everlasting chastisement.

Speaker B: So maybe I'll let you guys start getting closer, and I can, like, maybe ride a little north of you guys and then bust through town to pull them away. I think the goal would be if you're looking at the town, you know, north, south, coming in from the west side, like, just north of you, like, run in and then, like, try to go up to pull them away from the place. I'd ask her specifically, like, where's the place you want them to not be?

Speaker C: Yeah. So she would let me activate this. She would draw, like. It's definitely not nearly as detailed as. As this, but she won't die for. Okay, those might cost you two, Penny. I should have to accomplish. But she so. So over. So she's like. So she draws, like, a map with kind of like, the general road. And it's like, you know, we can enter in from, like, up here. Yeah. Now it's flashing, and she's like, then. But my house is basically just past, like, this fountain that she draws.

Speaker A: This is.

Speaker C: Let me zoom in a little bit more. This is where foundry fits. Yeah, but by this fountain. Her house is the second one over here. And this is her blacksmith.

Speaker A: Dang.

Speaker B: She needs something out of both. Oh, she has her other guns. Well, it sounds like getting the Guns would be a great thing too. That might even be the first thing to get, just so you have more airpower. Unless the other thing repels them.

Speaker C: The amulet will make the wear invisible to them, but.

Speaker B: Oh, Doc actually laughs to that. Oh, I see how it is.

Speaker C: But it won't help the group as a whole. But there are some other artifacts in my safe.

Speaker B: Okay, well, I might need to actually ride past that ahead of you guys. So I make sure that anything that's there, I wake up and pull them away from that. Yeah, just plan to like go in west, maybe like ride north and try to come out the north east side of town.

Speaker C: Yeah. She would have kind of drawn like a crappy version of like most of the roads, so you could kind of like. But yeah.

Speaker A: Your exit.

Speaker B: Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker C: So you. So I guess you're like, okay, that's not a drawing tool or like.

Speaker B: No.

Speaker C: And it's a white one. Why is it white? Yeah. So you guys are like, basically like, you're gonna plan to like ride like this.

Speaker B: Can't see. Oh, yeah, yeah. Basically.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: It's probably better you're doing this. I'm gonna light fires just to make sure.

Speaker B: How many holy waters do you have?

Speaker D: We have nine or eight.

Speaker B: Can I have another one?

Speaker D: You can take as many as you want.

Speaker B: I'll waste too much, but I'll take a couple.

Speaker C: No, 11 Molotovs.

Speaker A: Take them all.

Speaker B: I don't know if they're horrible. Fire.

Speaker C: She's gonna be like. Fire wouldn't do anything to them. Unless you are finding corpses to burn and then they. You would permanently be destroying one of them. Yeah, or. Yeah. Or if you have to find like a corpse pile for some reason, I'll.

Speaker B: Take an extra mile on top. You never know.

Speaker A: Andre wouldn't mind taking a couple of holy water.

Speaker B: So I asked her real quick, historically, what was it that destroyed the town that caused this?

Speaker C: There is the. The gang families, got into territory, got rounded up by the government. Basically like trapped in this town.

Speaker B: I ask her that if destroying the bodies would end permanently end a lot of them in that history, did they. The people that killed them, did they round them up and put them in a place here where their bodies would actually be like a mass grave?

Speaker C: No, it was. It wasn't like just ran through town.

Speaker B: And ransacked it and shot everybody wherever they were at.

Speaker C: They, they, well, they like. It was like almost like. See, like they were. See, they siege the town essentially because they like the government, like circled like encircle and got them like forced into there and then circling them up and then they're having a fight, basically because the crime families were trying to, like, challenge the government.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker C: And this is where they ended up, like getting forced to retreat to essentially. So this was like their last, last stand. But it wasn't too long after the fighting started that, like, specter started rising out of the corpses.

Speaker B: And they don't like holy water.

Speaker C: That'll dissipate them for sure.

Speaker D: Like silver bullet.

Speaker C: But you'll either need to be. You either need to perform. Be able to perform exorcisms which none of you can ordained.

Speaker A: Can you write it on a piece of paper?

Speaker B: Slap it?

Speaker C: No.

Speaker B: We're gonna have a nikto moment.

Speaker C: It's like, no, because it's actually. It's actually the power from Mithras that allows us to burn the weird and und.

Speaker B: All right, well, you guys, it's been a pleasure. I like to say that, you know, if I don't make it, you can have my horse and my guns, but I'm not sure if those are going to be available.

Speaker A: We'll just meet you on the other side.

Speaker B: I hand you my last healing salve. And so this might be useful because I may not need it. Keep it for safekeeping.

Speaker D: No.

Speaker A: How many uses are in just one?

Speaker B: It's one per. I used two of the three other uses so that they're fresh. Like if there was a story where they were like all rounded up in a place and shot like that and burn it and reduce the population.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: But it sounds like we're not going to have enough fire.

Speaker C: To do.

Speaker A: You can spread it around, but hope it be. And after a certain amount of time, the bodies would just decompose. And then what do you do? Salt the whole place?

Speaker C: Yeah. All righty. So we got Jack come that her doc on the distracting ride. And then the rest of you guys, we're gonna sneak in on foot after he sets off all.

Speaker B: Just to clarify on that dude said, does. Do they steer away from holy water or is just the holy water affect them? Does it repel them?

Speaker C: It won't repel them, but it like dis similar. Same thing of like silver is it will dissipate them with it. Yeah. So if you like splashing them, they'll like, start cooking. Like. Okay, they'll cook. So if you have like the weird bless.

Speaker B: Sprinkle machine.

Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.

Speaker B: All right. You want my dynamite? Yeah, I might. I don't know if it'll work on them. I think they'll ignore it. So let me Know when you guys are ready and I'll pull ahead. I get behind me pretty soon.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. Audrey's got other questions, but they can wait till I figure that. It's not something that can be handled right now.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker B: All right. I start kind of a trot going through town. When I get it about, you know, here, I start singing a song.

Speaker C: Yeah. As you. Even as you were, like, trotting into town, you started to, like, see, like, you would see shadows and stuff, like, moving, like, on the sides of buildings. And then. Yeah. When he started making more noise, you start seeing things coming from, like, everywhere.

Speaker A: So you don't want to take the swig of that lighter.

Speaker B: Actually be the holy water when you.

Speaker A: Burn, when you spit it.

Speaker C: Yeah. All right. Yeah. So you're. See, I was gonna say. I didn't mean to, like, interrupt here. Oh, you're good description.

Speaker B: I'm just being audible. So you hear me singing a song. It'd be like some tavern song about good times, drinking things that living people do that's really just. Let's really piss them off and all.

Speaker A: Swimming in a bottle of moonshine.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: Now, if it was Gavish, he would probably know a song from this town about their massacre. He'd be singing that one. But this guy doesn't know that song.

Speaker A: And the family's stupidity. We drink to their lost souls.

Speaker B: It's really ticked off. All right, let's go.

Speaker C: Yeah. So you're getting this. So, yeah, let's say you get about, like, halfway to the water fountain, and it's actually, like, not working or anymore. Or maybe it's a giant. Well. Well, now. Yeah. You get there and you start hearing like. Like angry, like, screaming, like, coming from, like, all around, like. And it's starting to, like, it sounds like the town is. Like the area around you is just, like, waking up.

Speaker B: I definitely speed up. Song tempo picks up a little bit, but I keep singing.

Speaker C: And then you. You guys kind of hear some of that. You hear a little bit. Even though they're. You're like, 100 yards away. You're starting to hear, like, screams. Yeah. So then as you get. As you're, like, up here, when I.

Speaker B: Go through here, there'd be a little bit of, you know, back and forth. I want to make sure I'm dragging stuff.

Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah. When you got nearby the fountain, you can, like. You're seeing like. Like, Bill Horde is like, everything's. Yeah. You don't like realizing, I don't need to dilly dally anymore.

Speaker B: I Would assume you guys would come fairly soon after me.

Speaker A: The acoustics were incredible.

Speaker B: Yeah. He's dead. He's going to need a new character sheet, isn't he?

Speaker C: So, yeah, as you getting. So you're over here, this house that's on the corner here. You see the. As you're, like, running, like, running, like, in front of it, by it. You see the top. Top windows blink, and you see the whole house start to, like, shift and turn towards you. Oh. And then you hear, like, rumbling and, like. I don't.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker C: And you just hear, like, this massive, like, roar. And then heavy steps start to, like, start chasing behind you. So. Yeah. So you guys actually might like, as you're. Are you guys running or what are you doing? Just.

Speaker A: We're moving at Ramsey speed.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker D: We'd probably be running, but it'd be almost like trying to be quiet.

Speaker C: The. Yeah, like, the.

Speaker D: Not like there's a crouch.

Speaker C: Like the half, like, crowd. Like the stealth run. Yeah.

Speaker A: I'm just following a nimicking.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: Quiet running.

Speaker C: So someone you guys experience in this. So. Yeah. So. I guess so. Yeah. So, Doc. Yeah. You're seeing, like you're getting pursued, but I don't know. Do you want to look over your shoulder? Are you just like.

Speaker B: I do want to see, like, how far behind it is.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker B: Now when it. Like when it started moving and it took its first step, I would hear that and then, like, how quick, how quickly it's moving.

Speaker C: Yeah. So you see something that looks kind of like this lovely, but it also has, like, long arms, too.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker C: And it's just, like, chasing you.

Speaker B: And it's all I wanted to come home.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: I reach in and I pull out my lighter, take my stick of dynamite, and I go. I just drop it behind me.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker B: I'm, like, so glad I kept this.

Speaker C: So now we're gonna hop swap over to the party, and then we'll play.

Speaker A: Out Doc's mythic ride.

Speaker C: Yes. After the legendary ride, I won't forget.

Speaker B: It if I survive it.

Speaker C: So. Yeah, as you guys are, like, quick walking slash, like, quiet jogging through the town. You do see, like, the top of, like, a house, like, shift and, like, get taller and start, like, chasing. You can probably. You can kind of hear this step, but then you also hear, like, this. And you would probably see, depending on how close you guys were falling, but you would see that there's, like, almost like this black cloud that's just, like, moving through the city.

Speaker A: The man is. Wait for a legend. Aries.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker C: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So One of you. One of you are. Doctor. Doctor. So Audrey, you can give me to the. Just a flat roll, but add +4 because distract.

Speaker A: You want to go for it?

Speaker D: You can go for it. I didn't make camp.

Speaker A: Nine, so a four. Thirteen.

Speaker C: Okay. All right. So yeah, you guys get a quarter of the way there. Give me another. You guys can alternate if you want or you can just. We'll just do like four rolls. Yeah. So you just add plus four. Yeah.

Speaker D: Ten.

Speaker C: Okay. And then sitting halfway. Nine. Okay. Hold up on the non. Yeah.

Speaker B: Always instill. It's only as good as your lowest roll in the party.

Speaker A: It's always as good as your paladin.

Speaker B: Those always be out soon.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: It's all about wisdom.

Speaker A: Characters based on charisma. How are you supposed to have quiet charisma?

Speaker B: Right?

Speaker C: Yeah. So I was gonna say you guys are going pretty quick and then you like come around. Oh, oh, I guess. Actually, no, we'll say out between. Oh, I need to close that so you guys can see. Yeah, you guys are almost. Yeah. You see a couple familiar looking clowns step out of a building and look at you guys. Like, they start shouting.

Speaker A: How close are they?

Speaker C: Say, not quite. They're like near distance between near and far distance. I. They're probably almost within pistol range.

Speaker B: I'm not think.

Speaker A: I'm thinking run kind of speed up to the first building and then find a spot. Are they coming out towards us as they're yelling or are they.

Speaker C: One of them does like start, like, looks like he's gonna like drawing something, and then the other one goes back into the building.

Speaker A: How. So we're what, about 100 yards away? Are we closer?

Speaker C: Oh, no, you're. You're much closer. You're like. You're probably like 60ft or like 60ft.

Speaker A: Is this the house that we need to go into for Ramsey's?

Speaker C: No, I. It's not. You're not quite. You're like two thirds to that house. So it'd probably be like down here, like maybe this house they stepped out of. We'll just say they stepped out of this house down here. As you guys are running up, you know, crossing here. I'll do this. So this will help with the visuals. So, yeah, they. They like stepped up over here.

Speaker A: I would look at you.

Speaker D: No point.

Speaker A: Or you want to try and shoot them? They're. They're.

Speaker D: I'll shoot the one yelling, tell it to shut up.

Speaker B: You're like, shut up. Is it a ghost or a clown?

Speaker C: No, it's not a ghost. You can tell it's not. It looks like one of the. It's a chuckle from. Oh, Giggles.

Speaker A: Giggles.

Speaker C: Yeah, that's right.

Speaker A: Your horse's name is Chuckles.

Speaker D: Eleven must be, like.

Speaker C: Right between the eyes.

Speaker A: And then if the other guy ran in. Are we hearing any noises from inside the house?

Speaker C: You would probably. After the gunshot, you probably hear someone, like, shouting more. And then you'd probably hear, like, maybe someone. You'd see someone run out the back after you hear someone say, like, get the clan, like. And. Yeah, I was gonna say. Yeah. You see one guy running out this way, and the. And then another. You see two more, like, guns appear at windows and start shooting at you guys. Say Ramsey takes. Ramsey blasts one of them through from the window with their rifle. He dies.

Speaker D: Why are these people living in this village?

Speaker B: That is a great.

Speaker A: We'll find out when we search their.

Speaker D: Bodies if we get a chance.

Speaker A: The one that ran out the back.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: Could I cover that distance and get to him quick enough to. To take him out, or did he just disappear into the shrubs and.

Speaker C: No, that's like a tree. Like, don't worry too much about, like, the buildings or more like that's just like, a tree. So you can see him running for it. Like, he's just. He's booking it. So if you want to try and run him down, we can just do it.

Speaker A: No, I'm going to try and shoot him.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker A: He's too far away, and I don't want to get too much attention. Although that might do it. Got luck. Got a five.

Speaker C: All right. I was gonna say, as you go to aim, one of the. One of the other clowns from the window shoots you. So, yeah, you. A major gunshot wound.

Speaker D: Yeehaw.

Speaker B: Somehow on my crazy ride, I know something is happening.

Speaker D: Start hearing shooting.

Speaker C: All right. Yeah. So, Jacques, do you want to. Well, there's, like, so far, you still, like, see one clown in there and then the one in the window. Okay. And there's one running.

Speaker D: I'd go for the running guy if I heard him. Get the posse.

Speaker C: Yeah, you guys heard him. That's clear as day. You heard? Oh, yeah.

Speaker D: Alert the clam and fire at the 1:10.

Speaker C: All right. Yep. He's running. And then he just face plants in the dirt and, like, slides.

Speaker D: And then I would get my shotgun out and start running towards this house.

Speaker C: Okay. Ramsey's is like, I'm going for that. Yeah. Artifact.

Speaker D: That's what I'd be telling Audrey and Ramsay to go find the artifact.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker A: I think grab. I'm gonna follow with her.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker D: I'll deal with these plans.

Speaker B: He'll be here all night.

Speaker C: All right. Yeah. So you're running. So you guys are running. So give me one more roll with the. This time it'll only be plus three because there's a lot of noise now.

Speaker A: Thirteen.

Speaker C: All right. All right. Yeah. So you guys would jock. Oh. You guys make it to Ramsey's house, and she just kicks the door down and is running upstairs. So are you following her?

Speaker A: But I kind of keep back a little bit because of my wound. If anybody else comes in the house, I want to be ready for them.

Speaker C: Okay. So you can camp the door. Okay.

Speaker B: I'm on.

Speaker A: If you go in and the stairs are right there. I'm on the stairs looking down at the.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker A: With the shotgun.

Speaker C: That works. Okay. All right. Yeah. And you hear Ramsey's running upstairs. All right.

Speaker D: Jacques, that guy's looking through the window. I'm trying to shoot him as I'm running out.

Speaker C: Yeah, he's, like, shooting at, like. He's trying to, like, shoot at you too. Like, serpentine, man.

Speaker A: Serpentine.

Speaker C: Yeah. It's the hunt. You're doing the bottom weave, and he's just letting it rip.

Speaker D: I want to spend six of my luck because I got snake eyes.

Speaker B: He wants this guy dead.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker C: Why you. If you'd want to save some, you could make it a seven.

Speaker D: I'll make it a seven. Always put myself in.

Speaker C: Yeah. Finn, danger. Or you get.

Speaker D: I'll take this shot, and I'll put danger.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker B: He's dead.

Speaker C: Yep. You blast him, and then. And then two more clowns come running out of the house towards you from, like, the side of clown car.

Speaker B: But it's a clown house.

Speaker A: I think they're throwing a m Cloud in there.

Speaker B: There you go.

Speaker C: Yeah. So they have. You have two, and these guys are, like. These ones are fairly, like, burly looking. They're twins.

Speaker D: Be like, hey, look, two morons. Then I just spray pray.

Speaker B: Intimidation.

Speaker C: Check.

Speaker D: More.

Speaker B: What was that skill that your cat had? That was the insulting. You could, like.

Speaker C: Oh, the. No, it's like a pre move you could do.

Speaker D: It was just how I got.

Speaker C: I was intimidating glare.

Speaker D: But it was just.

Speaker B: That's how you got your panache.

Speaker C: Yeah. Insult me.

Speaker D: It'd be seven. Okay. Put myself more danger, actually. Seven.

Speaker C: Yeah. This tar. This is on. You hit your target. You choose one, and that kind of target is also hit. Your enemies begin to focus on you. You miss them and move. All right. Yeah. So which one do you want?

Speaker D: They'd probably have to be the best maneuver, the one that make the most sense.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker D: Was like enemies are already focused on me.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: As far as I know, there's not an unintended target to hit.

Speaker C: Yeah. Through the wallet.

Speaker D: Hit me somehow his doc.

Speaker C: Oh, okay.

Speaker A: The wild.

Speaker B: The other side. I'm like.

Speaker D: Shooting in the air.

Speaker C: I'm so shooting at me. Yeah. No, you. You empty both your fan. Both of your pistols. Those guys drop. But then you. You feel some. Something like cold come up behind you. Actually, you. You don't actually. You wouldn't feel it. You hear extremely angry screaming coming at you. Also when you turn, you see these two black clowns. Spec. Ghostly like specters rushing at you. So.

Speaker A: Run for it.

Speaker B: Run.

Speaker C: What do you do? So the clowns are dead. Are they dead? Yeah. You mowed them down both your. With you emptied both your pistols into one. Into each.

Speaker D: I'd start running this way and then I'd whistle for my horse.

Speaker C: Okay. Big whistle.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker C: All right. Yeah. So you hear, you hear. You would have heard this whistle before. Paul said. And you know Jacques is probably in trouble if he's whistling for his horse.

Speaker D: And I start running towards my horse.

Speaker C: Yeah, you're running. They're chasing you.

Speaker D: Why I'm reloading my guns.

Speaker C: So you hear, you hear Ramsay. Yeah. You hear Ramsey's rummaging through her, like rummaging upstairs. Do you want to do anything?

Speaker A: I pack my gunshot wound as best I can.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker A: And keep an eye on the door.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker D: If I could, I probably would have just yelled. It's like I'm getting my horse. You guys find the artifact, like yell it.

Speaker C: Yeah. From that distance, Audrey would probably just make that out. All right, so we're going. So we're gonna jump over to doc.

Speaker D: We're going to a door here.

Speaker A: This is like a mess up shoots and ladders.

Speaker C: Yeah, it is a messed up shoots and ladders.

Speaker D: So the star and the spider house.

Speaker C: So you'll need 2D4.

Speaker D: Quickly before.

Speaker A: Yeah, last thing you want to do is roll a D20.

Speaker C: Actually, wait, no, you will need. I'll say since you're galloping, you'll have max speed. So give me. So you can have two D8. Yeah. Your galloping on a horse. So you would definitely expect. All right, so you're being chased by the house. So you have to go first.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker B: It's a question. Can I make the house permanently slower with my dynamite then drop behind me and like try to blow his legs?

Speaker C: Yeah, that's a thing that. It'll. It'll hurt. It'll Slow it down.

Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker B: Cool.

Speaker C: So, yeah, so go ahead and roll your guys.

Speaker B: You guys would hear that while you're gun fighting.

Speaker C: Boom. And then like a scream and then like a deep like. But then you would hear it from behind you just like after the explosion. And like the initial, like, scream. Just like. Audrey would probably hear it too, because it would be deep. But he'd just be like, run, run, little man. I'm going to eat you. As this house is chasing you.

Speaker B: I'm down on my horses here. My horse just hears me swearing repeatedly with the cadence. Ramses, you found it yet? I'm being nicer. Like, dumb horse, you better run fast. Let's go, let's go.

Speaker C: Now your horse is unlike. Is like in panic runs with the freaking shrieking of the. The dark screaming specters coming, like from everywhere. You're also, like having to, like, try and like weave around specters and stuff as you're trying to get out of town.

Speaker A: Bridle in your mouth. Guns drawn, shoots and ladders.

Speaker B: The worst game ever made.

Speaker A: I have two children.

Speaker C: Oh, I will. Yes, I will. There is a couple rules, which I.

Speaker A: Think only you can go up and down on the swords.

Speaker C: If you hit the hilt, you go up, you follow it to its tip.

Speaker D: Don't.

Speaker C: So we take damage. No, some of don't worry about what the text is. That's because I didn't have time to modify it. So some stuff will happen when you land. If you land on text, but you're being. You're the pursuer, you go first. You escape. When you reach the end.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker C: You get caught. If you move through the chaser's token or land on it, if he moves past you, you're not caught. It's if you move through it.

Speaker B: Sure, that makes sense.

Speaker C: So, yeah, exactly. That's what it is. Yeah. So yeah, that's all you. That's basically it. And then I'm rolling all shiny.

Speaker D: You get 1d6 coins.

Speaker B: You said that it changes. But what actually is on there is.

Speaker A: Different than congratulations, you're a meddling kid.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker C: So, yeah. So you'll roll your 2D or your 2D coins.

Speaker B: Shoot the ladders is a cursed game because having played with children, it's like if you have children and you play the game, it's actually going to make it the most miserable experience ever because everything that can go wrong in the game to make it last three hours won't happen.

Speaker A: Oh, that's Candyland.

Speaker B: Yeah, well, Candyland also.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker C: But you can move forward. Forward and backwards as well. So you can go to. Yes, there are tactics because you can't roll a one. Yeah, well, you can because you're rolling 2D and you're using the lowest die. And I'm also using the lowest die.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker C: And the reason you're rolling two is because. Actually, I guess it's an advantage you. Because you don't necessarily need to roll.

Speaker B: Two, but rolling two is an advantage if you're taking the highest. The lowest. It's disadvantage.

Speaker C: Yeah, but I'm doing the same too as the gm, so. Yeah, so we'll just keep it that. Because otherwise we'd be going to.

Speaker A: I figured it was just two dice. You get the extra speed. So if you roll.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker C: So sorry. You. You. You. You will be. You add them together. Okay. Add the two lowest together. So.

Speaker B: So on average, I should be a little faster than it.

Speaker D: It's 2v8, man. You can get here.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: Let's see.

Speaker C: All right, roll. Maybe you should actually be rolling.

Speaker D: No, we have to get 24.

Speaker C: Yeah. Roll 48.

Speaker A: So I'm trying.

Speaker C: I'm just trying to think because this is like. As a. Like that seems like a lot. So if this was a group going on, what would happen is all of you would roll and then use the two lowest. So I guess just rolling two dice and then you add the two lowest. Yes. Yeah. Never mind. Just go ahead and roll through the eight. Okay. Yeah. Let's keep it simple.

Speaker B: That's two sixes. So 12.

Speaker C: Dang. Yep, you can move.

Speaker A: Do you have to take a hilt down?

Speaker C: Yeah, if you land on the thing you do. So do you have your 12 space? And I think you. So you have to spend all your 12 spaces.

Speaker D: You just go back.

Speaker C: But you can like. I. Yeah, it says you can move, dude.

Speaker D: You can go back and forth.

Speaker A: Go three.

Speaker C: Well, you'd have to go.

Speaker B: I have to land on it.

Speaker C: Yeah, I definitely land on this movement. So.

Speaker B: So to do that, I would need to go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Speaker A: And then you can go back for 8, 9. No, let's see. 2, 3.

Speaker B: 1, 2, 3, 4,. 5, 6. I don't think I can end on.

Speaker A: This.

Speaker B: Because it's even and I'd be spending an odd no matter how we do it.

Speaker C: See if that'd be a more shorter one over Y. There you go.

Speaker B: That's. I have to do that to not fall.

Speaker D: There you go. Yeah.

Speaker A: Or you go 1, 2, 3, 4.

Speaker C: There you go.

Speaker B: I go to 13. Or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Speaker C: 8, 9, 10, 12, and go to 16.

Speaker D: All right.

Speaker B: I'm like, cutting through houses, like, in between.

Speaker C: Yeah, exactly. You're trying to, like, avoid getting smash by this thing and get out. Avoid getting caught by this.

Speaker A: Watch out for the clown posy.

Speaker D: Yeah, here's the clan.

Speaker B: I'm not coming back. I'm not coming back to you guys.

Speaker A: You run over the top of a clown.

Speaker B: I care about you enough not to bring the horde of town and the house.

Speaker C: Okay, so I rolled six.

Speaker B: Six will land on me.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: You can always get that one off.

Speaker B: Well, because in this, if you go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, there's always a chance that he's going to land on me. And unless I'm always choosing to be one next to the house, that's the only way to not have it land on me. So it is what it is.

Speaker C: Okay. He. Yeah, like, he catches up to you and goes to, like, grab you off to the horse.

Speaker B: Like, what does that look like?

Speaker C: So he's. He's reaching out with, like, one of his long, like, spindly arms, is just trying to, like, grab you and the horse.

Speaker B: I just, like, dash into his reach. I figured it'd be more awkward for him, like, being close to him because he's big. And I pull both my holy vials out as I'm going by, and I just like. As I'm going by, like, one in each hand, just like. And throw them at his eyes.

Speaker C: Give me the react to danger first, and then we'll see if you do avoid the ground.

Speaker B: Are you smart? Since I'm like, trying to get inside his reach, like tactics.

Speaker C: Yeah, that'd be fine because you're writing.

Speaker B: Oh, not 11, 13.

Speaker C: All right, you dodge his dodge here underneath them now.

Speaker B: But on the way, I wanted to throw the holy water at his face and try to use that as a distraction.

Speaker C: Yeah, I was gonna say if you want to, like, stay in front of them, that's. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker B: It's like as I'm dodging the arm, then it's pull up and throw them. I'm gonna actually just spend it all so it's successful because otherwise I'll probably just die. So I get a 7.

Speaker A: Look like you got a detention.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker C: On the aim and fire, you take your shot to place you in danger. Or it's flancing and less effective.

Speaker B: I'm just gonna say stop question.

Speaker C: I'll say if so and say if you. If you stay in danger, like, well, he's gonna, like, try and like, grab you stuff. Or if you want it to be glancing and less effective, I'll drop him back to space. And in the case of island. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker B: That's what I would do. I'm gonna probably choose that anyways.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker B: I normally wouldn't be in danger with the house.

Speaker C: All right. Yep. So you. That was enough to, like, hear again, the smoking. It's just like. That's not very nice.

Speaker B: I yell next at him.

Speaker A: Next one's a male.

Speaker B: 14.

Speaker C: I get you to the end, doesn't it? Yep. Nice. All right.

Speaker B: Let.

Speaker A: You have to have the exact numbers.

Speaker C: No, no, I. That would be super stupid.

Speaker B: That's how Candyland was.

Speaker C: Yeah. Say this. No, this is just meant to be.

Speaker B: Rule for candy land.

Speaker C: That's. This is most meant to be silly. It was not terrible.

Speaker D: All right.

Speaker B: It made me feel the intensity of being chased by a house.

Speaker C: Come on.

Speaker A: Send me back to gum drops and.

Speaker B: Enough PTSD was baggaged on for playing that game with my children.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: Okay.

Speaker B: What's that?

Speaker D: I gave him the color.

Speaker B: He did.

Speaker A: He did, yeah.

Speaker C: So I'll say.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker C: With that, like, that's your. That was basically. That's be most of your. You're, like, right at the edge of town, about to, like, break, and there's still, like, ghosts in a house. Probably hundreds to, like, a thousand, like, bodies, like, flocking.

Speaker B: At this point, as I'm starting to see the edge of town, I'm starting to, like, like, scared laugh. Not quite trusting. Like.

Speaker D: Adrenaline.

Speaker C: All right, so we'll say like this, like, maybe, like two minutes have passed. You finally hear, like, Ramsey come stomping down the stairs. And now you see her inner. Actually, I guess they're like. Yeah, they're on her hips now. As you see, there's a gold pistol and a silver pistol.

Speaker B: Let's go.

Speaker C: And she's running down, and she's got, like, a back saddle bag strapped down. She's like, let's get the hell out of here.

Speaker A: Do we still need to go buy the blacksmith shop?

Speaker C: No.

Speaker B: Okay.

Speaker C: There's nothing in there.

Speaker A: Then let's be gone.

Speaker C: Yeah. Comes running out. Sorry, Jacques. You have. I say, you see your horse coming. You got specters behind you, so give me a react. Danger. See, if you stay ahead of them and hop on your horse as he. Like.

Speaker A: That'S where you hop on your horse, but it back kicks you.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker C: I was like, okay.

Speaker A: Or moves forward as you jump up and laughs.

Speaker C: Yeah. I'll say you can get on fine, but the ghost will just swipe at you. That's fine. Or you'll get. You'll take two minor wounds from ghost touches as you feel like life energy like SAP out of you and your, your horse like gives off like that pain stream. And then you're. You are on your horse. That's two minor wounds for both of you.

Speaker D: Miners make them.

Speaker C: No, you have like three minor spots, I think. Yeah, so. Yeah, so you and your horse both have two minors. Unless your miners are all full. Then it would go up to next stage. Okay, so you're easily escaped. The specters. You do see a couple like other ones like coming a few here and there like that. They were like late to the party, but heard gunshots, but. Yeah. So where, which way are you?

Speaker D: Which way are the other spectres?

Speaker C: They're kind of like, it's. There's a few of them like north, south, like around you kind of. They're not very many. So like you could easily ride between them or whatever.

Speaker D: Yeah, I'd ride north.

Speaker C: Okay, you're taking off north.

Speaker D: And then I shoot it. The ones closest to me, if I can.

Speaker C: Yeah, go ahead and aim and fire. And as you. As you're like turning, you do have. You do just see Audrey and Ramsay's come out of the stairs and then you're seeing a. What Jacques was running from. You're like seeing the top of a house, like coming back your way, your guys's way.

Speaker B: As. And as I going out of town, I would start to kind of veer like I'm going to come back around the town.

Speaker C: Yeah, sure, whatever.

Speaker B: The shortest path is probably, I guess over the top, come back around the town, keeping my distance. But if it's possible for them to still like chase me, they.

Speaker C: Yeah, you're kind of like. They're still like, yeah, I want to angle and you're like starting to like maybe see some that were on the upper parts have like shifted and are like going to try and like intercept you.

Speaker B: Right.

Speaker D: I got.

Speaker B: So I'll just keep edging out, put myself in danger.

Speaker C: Okay. Oh, yeah. So you shoot.

Speaker D: Silver is regular and they'd be silver this time.

Speaker C: Yeah, you see them, you see those two that were behind you just. And then you see a couple that are like right in front of you very close. So you'll have to dodge, try and dodge them. Or if you want to just ride through and take the pain, you can.

Speaker D: I'd just be riding through. I'd be going at them then get out of town. We'll just try.

Speaker C: All right.

Speaker D: If you're done yeah.

Speaker C: So if you're just gonna take the pain. Yeah, you can. So that's two more. Yeah. Minus for you and your horse.

Speaker A: Fill up your. Your minor. And now you've got a modern.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker C: As your. Your horse is like, screaming from that too.

Speaker D: It'll be fine.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: Panicked running.

Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. You're golfing at this point. Yeah. While you guys are starting to, like, leave the house, you're starting to feel, like stomps coming your direction. You're starting to feel it in the ground.

Speaker A: As we come out, probably looking for cover. So we might want to run through the blacksmith.

Speaker C: Yeah. If you want to run, head towards that.

Speaker A: So it'd be running across into the blacksmith through the front door, out the back door. Actually, that'd be my question. Is there a back door to this place before we run into it?

Speaker C: She doesn't. Randy's like, yep.

Speaker A: There.

Speaker C: The coal shoot, coal storage, fire areas out the back.

Speaker A: So that. That's what I would do is. And use the building for cover. And it's like, don't take it wrong. But if that house comes first over at the blacksmith. Lighten it.

Speaker C: I just say, as you guys are exiting the blacksmith, you do see the house. Like, actually. Yeah. When you got up to Ramsay's house, you would have seen, like, where. Where a house had been sitting, which was like.

Speaker A: Like the hole for the foundation.

Speaker C: Yeah, essentially. Yeah. So you guys are exiting. As you exit out the back of that. You see the. The house walking, like, back to it. Or I guess he's more like jogging back this way because he hears the gunshots and stuff. And his other prey got away.

Speaker B: He lost interest in me. The ghosts are still chasing me, but not him.

Speaker A: Oh, is that a hand that basement?

Speaker B: Yeah. You would have a chunk taken out of him because I didn't blow his belly.

Speaker C: Oh.

Speaker B: And part of his legs.

Speaker C: So. Yeah. Give me a. This would probably be smarter. Cunning react to danger to avoid, like, being spotted as you're making a break for it. Yeah, probably Cunning. It looks like. Yeah. The outlet trigger danger. Yeah. Cunning or smart 10. Okay. Yep. So you. You make a good. You and Ramsey make a good be line. And they're not spotted by the house. Is it, like, it's still kind of wandering around and, like, maybe it's starting to, like, running towards you. Hear a horse screaming and probably jock click, like, going, like, north away from you. And, like, the house is, like, looking over there. So give me another. Just a flat hole, but add plus.

Speaker A: Eight.

Speaker C: Okay. Yeah. You're exiting your. As you're rushing like. So I assume you guys are full sprinkling about this. As you get like up by a house, two specters come out of it. What do you do?

Speaker A: Take my silver knife and just kind of run right through them. Poke them kind of like popping balloons.

Speaker C: All right, give me. Yeah. Either give me. Yeah. Fight roll or. Yeah. Ouch. Okay. Yeah. You go to like, stab it like in the face, but it like, drops below it and both of them, like, swipe through your flesh. So beef. Let's say four minors as like this as your. As you just feel like. And like your energy, your life is being like. You're like very being like being like scratched at. And then. Okay, she did a little good. And then you. As you're like kind of recalling from that while still running, you just hear two guns go off and you see a. Like a gold streak and a silver streak go right past your head. And then the two specters. Actually no, one of them, the one that gets struck by the gold, you actually see it, like, burn up and, like, let out like this agonizing, like, scream. Then you go. Then you hear Ramsey go. Oh, I've missed you beauties.

Speaker A: And then just keep on running.

Speaker C: Yo. That. Yo.

Speaker A: You're almost like you're. You're running. You hit a bee's nest.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: You're running your.

Speaker C: We'll have actually a doc. Give me. Give me a defy. Yeah. Give me another danger as you're like. The specters are like, almost like cut you off. And smarts are fine as you can like, use your brain to pick it. All right.

Speaker B: Yes. I definitely would be watching as they're coming out. I'm trying to edge farther and farther away from town.

Speaker C: Yeah. I'll just say you. You avoid like the. Just a few of them get like a couple swipes. So you. You and your horse take four miners as you feel like you're very being like being scratched away. Scratched at your horse like terrible horse pain sound.

Speaker A: Terrible Winning death winning y.

Speaker C: But yeah. But then after that, you're. You're clear mean same thing. Reflexes are smart or kind of. I guess any of those or just depend. All right. Yep. You avoid any of those. And you are get clear that you have a clear path away. Oh yep. So yeah. You guys assume are sprinting for your horses that you had out in the way.

Speaker A: Pretty much, yeah.

Speaker C: Yeah. So I'll say you guys have survived nightborne out.

Speaker D: And then I guess clowns are.

Speaker B: Well you recognize.

Speaker A: We can go back and look for the rest of.

Speaker D: We Recognized them as the giggles people. Maybe later.

Speaker A: Let's take a flamethrower next time.

Speaker D: Hold a flame.

Speaker A: Super suckers.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: So when I pull up to them, do I notice her guns? Are they that obvious?

Speaker C: Oh, yeah. In each. Yeah. Sitting in her holster. Yeah. You see one that looks like it's made out of silver and has a faint like bluish glow to it, almost like, I don't know, the bloom affected video games where it kind of has like that little aura. And then the other one is like gold looking one with like a dark wood handle. And in that one, that gold one, you see the mithras symbol like carved into the handle. And the other one has the three moons carved into it and it has a labyrinth. It's called labradite handle, which I have a picture because I had to look it up. It's a cool looking stone.

Speaker B: Yeah. When I pull up to you guys and I see here with those fancy guns will be like, looks like those were almost worth the trip.

Speaker A: They were.

Speaker B: Intensity raises.

Speaker C: But that's like what the. There's like inlay like that on the handle. That's like. That's super weird. That foundry. Like. Yeah, I'll say you guys end up like just Rideford or you made camp and that's where you rocky by saying you're completely safe for the moment. But yeah, you see that. And then I guess you guys would have noticed too that like on her neck is like. It's like a black. I guess the very first thing I forgot, the effect of that she's actually semi like translucent, like faded out.

Speaker B: Well, I would definitely notice that.

Speaker C: Yeah, you guys would have instantly noticed that. You would have noticed that she was behind me. Yeah.

Speaker B: I might even have pulled my pistol and been like, you okay? Are you one of them now?

Speaker C: She just said, oh, I'm fine. I'm invisible to the spirit, the specters, whatnot.

Speaker B: Well, that makes one of us.

Speaker C: Has a side effect of making me semi faded out. Yeah.

Speaker B: Doc would say that makes one of us. Holy crap. I was not invisible.

Speaker A: I don't think most of us work. Can you pull this light out of my shoulder?

Speaker B: Yeah. I said, they're shooting at you guys.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: I mentioned the clown Giggles and the clown, possibly carnival apparently lives there.

Speaker A: Look at it.

Speaker B: How in the world are they living in town?

Speaker C: She would go, my guess would be it's probably related to that giant house that was chased. Like walking around the fun house.

Speaker D: Fun house.

Speaker B: Go ahead and start working on everybody that's heard.

Speaker C: Probably like that's definitely A greater being from the. The fade.

Speaker A: Do we need.

Speaker C: Undoubtedly, it would be good to kill it, but I. I don't. Don't think the four of us would be a match. I mean, maybe if we get some bigger.

Speaker D: Write some of your church pounds.

Speaker C: I will have to ferment for burning son. She's like, no, I. I'll have to. I'll have to write in all types of ingestion.

Speaker B: Well, I telling that I threw a stick of dynamite under it. Two piece. Two things of holy water in its face. It didn't really do much to it, but slow it down.

Speaker A: You'Re gonna need.

Speaker B: A lot of fire.

Speaker C: If it's able to keep the specters in line from not eating the. The clowns the police saw, then it's definitely very powerful. Probably intelligent.

Speaker B: Well, they could talk.

Speaker C: No, they wanted to eat me.

Speaker B: Let me know in no uncertain terms.

Speaker C: Yes. Let's see. Must be one of the greater beads.

Speaker A: We found out the clans have a cult.

Speaker B: Great.

Speaker A: Well, it was more of a clan, but I think they're kind of cultish. Well, if they're stealing people's faces.

Speaker B: Yep, that was a bad start.

Speaker C: It's like. And if they're able to live there with specters that hate living creatures, they're either actually all undead or they have some sort of deal with that giant house. And both of those. Well, then if they're living and have a deal, that's worse than them just being undead.

Speaker A: Oh, the security system.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: No.

Speaker C: So, yes, that will be. The church has to hear that. Looks like we'll have the siege of Night war too.

Speaker B: I hope there's cannons.

Speaker A: Now that it's over and we're kind of relaxing. Patching up. Andre asked question. If you put that point symbol you got on your gun there on something else, would it have an effect or would it just be pure decoration?

Speaker C: It would have. It could have an effect. It generally depends on who's in car engraving it, and also whether how much Mithras wants to put up with the power.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: Because there was.

Speaker A: She was saying before that they kind.

Speaker B: Of test you about who runs around with these things.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: But I was just thinking you may.

Speaker A: Have to sign.

Speaker B: One of those black eyes.

Speaker A: To make it look right, like your actual.

Speaker C: And she would just say, generally. It's also like training to actually be able to wield because most of the powder comes from the person.

Speaker A: I'm just looking at my little silver knife and say, that was a little longer.

Speaker C: Yeah, A bit more training.

Speaker A: That wouldn't hurt so much. Getting out of there. And soldier Ste. Seems like you guys handled yourselves well.

Speaker C: Honestly Doc, I'm surprised you survived.

Speaker B: I said no offense. I said so am I. What I pat my horse horser probably do cool.

Speaker C: Yeah. But I can. I will in my report if you want I can include your names and the church will owe you a boon which could help you out. Or even get you a weapon or special training they you helped especially a retired public.

Speaker A: So they might get you closer to those doors.

Speaker B: I know much have problem with them.

Speaker A: Audrey doesn't mind. I have all the crappy scene over the past two weeks. He's looking. Maybe I need a little something extra.

Speaker B: I do have interest in perusing there stacks.

Speaker C: Well they would certainly get you in the doors. They would. That would let you into the fortress archives. If that's.

Speaker B: Absolutely for knowledge.

Speaker A: For sanity. You're getting a little weird in your old age.

Speaker B: Yeah, it might be a little dark purple around my eyes. Look like I'm always tired now.

Speaker C: Oh, she pointedly looks at you. And what about you Jaques?

Speaker D: I'm good. Church doesn't need to know my name.

Speaker B: Will they give guns to an assumed alias? Be ashamed not to have a nice.

Speaker A: Gun in your hands.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker A: They might give you a set of pistols. Frank.

Speaker B: It'S not. Yeah, Frank.

Speaker C: Well, if you.

Speaker D: Past feelings of certain businesses you might know some things about what I did.

Speaker A: Sometimes it's supposed to be dead.

Speaker D: She's like.

Speaker C: Well, they could help with past dealings. Boom could certainly help. But if you would like I can. I can request the boom token to be sent back to me. Because we do the writers especially do reward those that help us. And your name would. There would just be a token. You'd have worked for me.

Speaker A: You'd have an marker.

Speaker C: Yep.

Speaker B: I just track closet.

Speaker C: No, these are not. These are gps. Because they're not sacred. They're not sacred to us. But they are only going to. They are honored regardless of where it came from.

Speaker B: No gambling tables Exaggerated. Yeah yeah. Finger wagging.

Speaker C: It just goes. The only downside is I. You don't have to actually have the token to benefit from it. If you to college.

Speaker A: Got a good hand. I raised you whatever you got there. And I had a boom.

Speaker C: Yep.

Speaker D: No that could bond.

Speaker C: And actually I guess she would just. She. She would just be like yeah. Then like you guys in my report I will include your description and then you guys if you're fine with that, you can just show up at the the fortress and clean your boon. Or I can request tokens.

Speaker B: Yeah.

Speaker A: Audrey would probably ask for One more thing. Just a message to be sent to his parents to let him know he's alive. Because he kind of took off in the middle of the night. Everything just disappeared. Of course, that means some people might start chasing him, but he didn't have a way to get a message back. And that was promises.

Speaker C: He goes, well, I'll deliver it myself.

Speaker A: He would think her.

Speaker B: I say, just go that way, not that way. And then coming back at the town.

Speaker C: She just chuckles. And then I guess she asks where I'm fl. Oh. And she's like, oh, that's not been there.

Speaker A: And look for the pastor on Hill.

Speaker C: Oh, she would actually go. Actually, she. She would go, oh, Pastor Blah. And then. Do you have a name for him? Or do you. Or do you want me to.

Speaker B: Pastor Blah.

Speaker C: Or do you want me to make one?

Speaker A: I think I've got one.

Speaker C: Okay.

Speaker A: Wick Wyck.

Speaker C: Okay. Yeah. So she would go, oh, Pastor Wick. He's like your fist, kid.

Speaker D: Don't kill his belly.

Speaker B: People with a sacred pistol.

Speaker D: Yeah. Check under the floors.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: Lots of tokens.

Speaker A: And depending on how well she knew my dad, I'd probably think, hey, this is what happened.

Speaker C: And.

Speaker A: Old Man Johnson. And I'd show her the coin. I. She might recognize it or know what it is or just. I'm sorry, son. You feel in the weird run.

Speaker C: Yeah. When you show her that, she would probably just kind of go, like. Kind of like the. Are you sure? She's like, chico, please. Heard rumors of that. Like, that name has been heard and has been heard, but that's. He's probably someone you don't want to deal with.

Speaker A: He's feeling like a scratch, but I can't lose the coin for anything. Watch it.

Speaker B: Be back in the morning.

Speaker C: He goes, oh, that's probably very bad.

Speaker A: Honestly, if God's not paying attention to his boon, I wonder what would happen if they touch Spark.

Speaker C: He's like, oh, there's. There's nothing like. That's just a minted, like, coin. Basically, there's.

Speaker A: I was thinking, holy. Whatever this is, get rid of it and not lose myself in the process.

Speaker C: She's. He goes, well, I'm gonna have to. After Mystic Flats on. Gotta go to Phantom bank to get to the Telegraph so I can send word to the church. Huh. So it'll probably be like, oh. So I don't know if you want to do that, travel with me or meet me there when you're. What are your guys's next plans?

Speaker A: Well, in order for Shock to get the boom, we'd have to to meet up with her again, wouldn't we?

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: Make it easier. You could just do the name thing and make it easier for that.

Speaker C: Well she fandom banks up. Yeah.

Speaker D: Then they have to send it David.

Speaker C: They'll be sending it to Ramses.

Speaker D: Yeah. So.

Speaker C: So that's your.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker A: So it'd be one of the things I look really. Because you know the map. She's like it's kind of headed.

Speaker D: That's where we're going next to.

Speaker A: To that eastern location. Wherever that might be. But if you wanted to go Phantom bank.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: Excuse my hand.

Speaker A: If you want to see the look on my papa's face. But any information she could find on it that would be.

Speaker C: So do you guys plan to head east now? Like this is for you players. Not. Not Ramses. I guess it would Ramsay to be like are you guys. She's like that mark. That's like. Because like that we describe it shows like the whole like region where that. Yeah.

Speaker A: Well there. It's almost like that one place where it's off the map. Currently you're not quite close enough to see the actual location.

Speaker C: Yeah. She would ask you guys what are your plans now? Back to Braves and stock up and head out again. Are you just gonna head. And.

Speaker A: I. I know I have to head that way. But my knowledge of travel. This is the furthest I've ever been away from home. And that four day trip was a little bit more than I was planning on. So you can be leaning on the experienced. The gunshot wound has to heal up a bit so there's not a real.

Speaker D: Good head back. Then we'll turn, rest up and then head back out.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker C: Buy more supplies.

Speaker D: Yep.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: I've been drinking that holy water.

Speaker A: Really? I've been sipping them all off.

Speaker C: Oh.

Speaker A: It's amazing how it purifies bullet wounds. Pour a little bit.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: I'd be working on you guys this whole time and the horses. It's going to take time.

Speaker C: Yeah. I was gonna say that would probably take the rest of like the day to patch everybody and the horses and everything. They knocked all that stuff down by one.

Speaker D: Yep.

Speaker C: Well the minor like those wounds from the. The ghost wounds you can't really do anything with. They just go like you just feel back up over the sleep. Yeah. It's more of.

Speaker D: That's all my wounds are spiritual damage.

Speaker C: It wasn't anything like actually like physical to you.

Speaker A: So go to a moderate. Still haven't my horse looks at me. Where'd you get viewed?

Speaker C: It's not funny. So you guys are going to head back to. So Ramses is going to write her report. Well, she's going to head back to Braziland you guys all go back to Braves Landing. And then she's going to head to Mystic Platts while you guys ride east. Right, that's. And then she's gonna head to Phantom bank to send her report.

Speaker A: Oh, I don't think we want to go through night more. Again. What towns.

Speaker C: I was gonna say while. Where you're. Since you're out here further. You know that the map. The. It's pointing more. It has a slight southeast. Okay. Point to.

Speaker A: And you so kind of laugh.

Speaker C: Yeah, it's like. Yeah, it's. But that's not it. You kind of see it like pointing like this direction out into like the. The Savannah.

Speaker A: Is a. Another town North.

Speaker C: Yes. That if you go north, there is a north. There is a town up there. It is currently unnamed, but yeah.

Speaker A: So from where we are, do we want to go back to Braze Landing or do we want to go north for supplies? About how far north? Like a day?

Speaker C: I think it's a. It might be almost as far. Let me check that here. I'll zoom out a little bit for you guys. Kind of see them.

Speaker A: Oh, wow.

Speaker C: So yeah, it's up here. So it's actually. It's two day, two and a half day ride. Yeah. Yeah. It's about a. It's about a two day.

Speaker D: Unless we want to go back and grab.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: I'm in. May not want to be in Braves Landing because the news of the cart getting stolen will be that we need.

Speaker B: To let that blow over.

Speaker D: Yeah. And Black being killed would be the bigger.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: See, let's just let that. That's probably what we would naturally do.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker B: I mean, I'm assuming.

Speaker C: Yeah. I mean for. From after rereading your guys's backstory, that definitely. I think we're in shock. And Doc would not go back to Brave's Landing after being involved.

Speaker A: They're more of a vagabond than I am. And I'm the vagabond. So that's the nearest town or is there a. No, that's a.

Speaker C: That goes into the next territory.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker C: Which that is I think actually a wilderness. Like tribal lands.

Speaker A: I'd say wherever the closest town is. Okay. If we're headed that way, that probably ask Ramsey if she's got contacts down. If not, that's. That's fine.

Speaker C: That would probably be like a maybe. And she's like, I know some of the survivors From Night War went up there. But that is mostly like a logging camp for.

Speaker A: Okay.

Speaker C: So they either stayed there or they continued north. So. Yeah, it's. I haven't really done any traveling since I set up in Braves Landing. So. Yeah. I don't. I'm not sure. Yeah. She. Yeah. She'd go like you might find creepy up there. I don't. I don't know if he's staying. Creepy.

Speaker D: Creepy.

Speaker A: Sounds like an interesting fellow.

Speaker C: He was. It was interesting though. Yeah. So she. She'd just be like I don't. I'd be surprised if he's there. But also not.

Speaker B: That place should have.

Speaker C: At least traveling resources for you. And if you feel like being a logger, that'd be a good place to learn. I don't think you're the logging type.

Speaker A: Might be worth learning how to swing an axe or the lungs and I'm.

Speaker B: Trying to kill us. If no then you're fr. Not that kind of work.

Speaker A: I've been practicing throwing my knife. Learn how to throw an axe too. Maybe you learn how to fight with an axe.

Speaker B: We help with the particularly difficult trees.

Speaker A: Ever since the Antwives disappeared.

Speaker C: That would probably. That could possibly actually be something that's starting to happen now. Some of the trained arm like actually waking up and becoming ants.

Speaker B: Give me Throw your axe. Trees have feed.

Speaker C: Okay. All right. Let's pause here for the evening. And we learned something new and important about the world.

Speaker D: Clown houses.

Speaker B: So that they have some kind of deal.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker C: Mark. That is a yes. So luck for everyone. Did we overcome a notable monster or enemy? All right. Yep. Another luck per one. Did we loot that memorable treasure?

Speaker B: We boons.

Speaker D: The bones went count again.

Speaker A: Well the boons would be for us but we did loot memorable treasures between the guns and the amulet and everything.

Speaker C: We just didn't get to keep them. And there are some other items that I don't.

Speaker A: That she's got. The bag or whatever else she.

Speaker C: Yeah. Which I don't know if you guys would be curious and ask her about but we can figure that out next sessions.

Speaker A: We're curious. We're just not prying.

Speaker C: Low lights are highlights.

Speaker B: I had to play shoots and ladders.

Speaker C: Is that a low light?

Speaker B: Little of both.

Speaker A: Was the quickest. 2.

Speaker C: There's 2.

Speaker D: Two perspectives of the speed run.

Speaker C: Yeah. And I guess long. Any additional long term goal Figure out.

Speaker B: The library pass into.

Speaker D: I would say if my name gets put on the thing from someone else. Like does that just go to the church?

Speaker C: Yeah. She would have been clear that it's going to the pill writers specifically.

Speaker D: All right.

Speaker A: You think your previous employer might have ends with the pale riders.

Speaker D: I think I should be interested to see my name on something and come to collect.

Speaker C: Well if she like so she would have explained that like even if you had were wanted by the yeah writers or that would be a.

Speaker D: Little hesitant but it'd be stable and seen it finding out a little bit would they buy sent someone to investigate.

Speaker C: Oh that like if they intercepted her letter or something.

Speaker D: Oh yeah they found out somehow the Jeff wouldn't really care like whatever shoot.

Speaker A: Her when they come yeah don't mom not in that business anymore.

Speaker D: Doc's arrogance.

Speaker A: Like whatever.

Speaker C: So yeah yeah I guess we'll just decide next session what you want to start for what Jeff does.

Speaker D: With the report no they're probably fine. Okay I was just saying if it's.

Speaker C: Like a public thing like no she would like she would have said this is just going straight to hell Raiders. Yeah because she doesn't and this is more it's mostly to tell them that nightmare has a large creature in yes and then needs to be dealt with and then also that these three men helped me in recovering my weapon like concentrated items and recovering my weapons. It'd be fun which is those are also very important to fill Raiders father still needs improvements. Yeah so I guess we have the long term let's follow the map Doc wanted to get to that yeah but assume that's more for this next session he does long term is yes like character goals that you're that you have I guess that I don't know about yet because I know Audrey's after gotta collect them all yeah Audrey's trying to.

Speaker A: Figure out what he got himself into yeah and then looking for the door.

Speaker C: To the library sister and then yeah. So next session head north rest, recover.

Speaker D: And then follow the map.

Speaker C: Jack would be curious about the map.

Speaker A: That would be an interesting artifact to.

Speaker D: Him because it might be gold or something to use.

Speaker A: What's that Sh.

Speaker C: And then Ramsey's would say like when you come to collect your like next time you meet the RPG they're going to come collect the bones from her. Actually no I'll worry about that next session before we head out you cool.

Speaker A: Vert send an encrypted message to a retired P Rider knowing that Emil has probably found out his right hand personnel was ended and all moments by 3M missing drifters.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker A: Although the manpower was pretty good.

Speaker D: Ali a vampire and then I think everyone died.

Speaker C: Yeah. You guys don't know what hot like.

Speaker D: Yeah, we don't know happened. I think we killed everyone we could.

Speaker C: You killed a couple of guys and then the rest were surrendered and then they disappeared with a chunk of scalps gang.

Speaker A: And if anybody in scouts gang contacts outside or gets drunk and spills, then.

Speaker D: Yep, there's more scalps from. For now, he was like, they did.

Speaker A: What.

Speaker D: They were gonna meet him Three wives or whatever it was.

Speaker A: Find out he's like Dracula.

Speaker D: And me.

Speaker A: Embrace the weird.

Speaker C: No, I think another thing. Another thing with the. The every one system has hero points per power adventure, so. And your characters have an X amount of hero points, and then you can. You can turn. If you roll snake eyes or. No, anytime you fail, you can actually turn it into, like, a calamitous failure and earn a hero point. But, like, really bad stuff happens to you or whatever.

Speaker B: Give yourself into the failure.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: Praise the D side.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker C: No, I. I think it will be a good system to transition, too, for doing weird west, since these don't have a lot of growth in my playbooks. Wow.

Speaker D: My moves don't make sense.

Speaker C: I know. Because you haven't, like, done.

Speaker D: Well, I have the grit one. Wherever I take damage, I can do something, but it doesn't make sense of addiction.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: I haven't used.

Speaker D: It is like, I can go to an enemy. I can destroy weapon, or I can terrify an enemy into fleeing or freezing.

Speaker C: But it's like the stuff we're fighting terrified inspectors.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker C: Well, so that's where the weird comes in, though, is like, you could let, like, whatever's powering you. That could be.

Speaker D: Yeah, that's what it would be.

Speaker C: A gnarly entity that they have. They don't want to met. Like.

Speaker D: Yeah.

Speaker C: They're like, what is that? And then they just run away from you. No, because that's how. Because that is like, the weirdest plane in there. Yeah.

Speaker B: The spirit of a large house lives in you.

Speaker A: I don't think I've used any weird yet.

Speaker C: Swami's been the only one to duck. Yeah.

Speaker D: Mine's like rip and tearing. It's like, well, how far can I take that?

Speaker C: You're going in. Like, you're going. We. Like, you're crossing like, you're. You're connecting away yourself to, like, so you.

Speaker A: Oh, I was thinking just basic skills.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: Even basic skills are.

Speaker A: They're. They're cool. I mean, once a day, I can light everything up with black, inky fire smoke, but. Or I could start cursing items every night. Let's curse a few nails and work. Somebody died. Let's see if we can figure out how they did it. But everybody that we see is dead. We can see why they die.

Speaker D: Jack would do that just to watch instant replays. Like, oh, that was a good shot.

Speaker A: Carry around the thro. I remember the day when you feel this one.

Speaker B: Yeah. I kind of feel like Docs is the he. You know, he hears voices, speaks to, like, weird things. So he's like, more. He wants to know about where his sister's at. So if it comes time where it could be useful to speak, then he has an excuse to go and talk to the person about his sister too.

Speaker A: Like, I think you're a lovable schizophrenic right now.

Speaker B: Yeah. Like, it puts you over the edge of like. Like, oh, I could use this in the moment. It's like I could find out where my sister's at and then goes ahead, just does it. Like, it's impulsive, but it's curious. That's kind of how he spends his. There's not really a rip and tear to it.

Speaker C: It's.

Speaker B: Or, you know, it's like, it's helped me in, like, one tough situation. The rest of it's more. This is just convenience. Yeah. He doesn't really care. He's marching towards insanity. But.

Speaker A: Yeah. I have no idea what Audrey's weird would be.

Speaker B: I don't even know what your mood is.

Speaker A: That's just it. It's really general the way it's written, so I don't know. See, yours is very utilitarian. Mine's really offensive.

Speaker B: Yeah. Which we need sometimes. Yeah.

Speaker A: Yeah. And I don't know if Audrey's would be, like, an AoE damage or it would be a shield. It's like colors. It's magic. It's. Caleb could probably tell me what it is, but I have no idea.

Speaker B: Caleb has opinions about that kind of stuff.

Speaker C: No. Everyone will also help. Would definitely help with your character to help define it more, too, with, like, some of the options in there. And that one has a neat thing, too, because since you're a young guy and haven't had a career, you would. Or. Yeah. You would be able to take. You get. You'd have a couple different options for your guys since you're not, like, don't have a career yet or set on anything. That seems like a really neat system.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker C: Audrey.

Speaker A: Well, let's see. He worked at a shop to pay for a lighter. Hung around a blacksmith.

Speaker B: I used a lot of resources.

Speaker D: Tonight we got tongues.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: They used to be holy water and dynamite and 18 silver.

Speaker C: No. Yeah.

Speaker A: 18 silver bullets. Yeah.

Speaker B: I'm an expensive. I'm an expensive guest in the group.

Speaker C: Three silver bullets.

Speaker A: A holy water. And that blessing that I don't know how much longer that.

Speaker B: Did we all change in our game nuggets.

Speaker D: I don't remember.

Speaker B: Did we change in our gold nuggets? So we still have those?

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: I had mine.

Speaker C: Audrey's. Yeah.

Speaker A: Dump it down into nails by Ramsey's.

Speaker B: That's right. Mine's a chunk in my bag. I guess.

Speaker D: No.

Speaker B: Did I have one chunk or two.

Speaker A: Chunks with a magnetic mushroom?

Speaker B: Yep. That's what. It's on opposite sides of my bag.

Speaker A: Gold's not magnetic.

Speaker B: Oh, that's right.

Speaker A: You're right.

Speaker C: A fan.

Speaker A: Maybe the weird. It's like slowly merging.

Speaker B: Or there's like iron inside the.

Speaker A: It's not pure.

Speaker D: Horse is just carrying.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: That's where.

Speaker D: Mind that.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: Build a house with yours.

Speaker A: I figured the nails would be easier to transport, easier to trade. People might think they're mundane.

Speaker B: So you show them the open. My phone has a snow animation in it.

Speaker C: I supposed to.

Speaker A: Is that snow or is that the night sky snow?

Speaker B: Like when you do the animation thing when it starts?

Speaker D: I suppose maybe it shows.

Speaker A: Let's see what it says.

Speaker B: Snow forecasted for the next hour.

Speaker D: I like 0.7.

Speaker B: So 100% that 10 o'clock 100 chance. And then it goes down to like 50, 60% chance into 2:00am.

Speaker A: And then it rains. Yeah.

Speaker B: But then it gets warmer. So nothing will stick.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: Yay. We don't have to show in the morning.

Speaker C: Yeah, I do.

Speaker B: Look at that. I'm like. But sometimes if it's going to like refreeze and.

Speaker D: Oh, yeah.

Speaker B: It just makes a nice. Especially our driveways at the end. Like the way that they're like dipped right there.

Speaker D: The puddle.

Speaker B: That little spot there just gets nasty.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker A: Is that supposed to ensure that you can't get in your driveway or that you're easy to get out of your driveway?

Speaker B: That makes it impossible.

Speaker D: Most neighbors don't ever shovel their driveway. So it's just a nice patch hole.

Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker D: Once we get like a big snail.

Speaker B: I gotta try out. I have the little electric one now.

Speaker D: Nice.

Speaker B: I found a sale on. It's like the last generation of this company's stuff uses the same battery, but it's just like they had a newer model. So I got a pretty good deal on getting a mower, beef whacker and a snow blower.

Speaker C: Nice.

Speaker B: And they all share batteries. So we'll try it out. But the lawnmower. It has a 2amp and a 1amp. Sorry, a 2amp and a 4amp battery. And the 4 I think it is, it lasts. It'll do the front and like maybe a quarter to half the backyard, and then the mower will not have any juice and you gotta switch it.
