1
00:00:01,495 --> 00:00:03,877
Welcome to Dead Letter Bureau.

2
00:00:03,978 --> 00:00:08,541
If you're a regular listener, you'll notice that we're doing things a little differently
today.

3
00:00:08,543 --> 00:00:12,467
it's your first time here, then you've picked a perfect jumping in point.

4
00:00:12,467 --> 00:00:14,809
Today's episode is kind of an orientation.

5
00:00:14,809 --> 00:00:18,072
We get a lot of questions about Delta Green.

6
00:00:18,072 --> 00:00:19,253
How do I start playing?

7
00:00:19,253 --> 00:00:20,174
uh

8
00:00:20,174 --> 00:00:21,014
what are the rules?

9
00:00:21,014 --> 00:00:24,096
And this is gonna be our answer to some of those questions.

10
00:00:24,096 --> 00:00:34,932
So we're gonna introduce you to the game and hopefully show you some impossible choices in
front of these agents and explore the rules as we're doing it.

11
00:00:35,747 --> 00:00:41,111
We'll be doing this by running a special session designed to teach the core rules.

12
00:00:41,111 --> 00:00:43,963
It's the intro session, last things last.

13
00:00:43,963 --> 00:00:45,614
To help me out, I have two guests at the table.

14
00:00:45,614 --> 00:00:48,531
First, our veteran player, Ryan, welcome.

15
00:00:48,531 --> 00:00:49,663
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

16
00:00:49,663 --> 00:00:51,251
My name is Ryan Murphy.

17
00:00:51,251 --> 00:00:57,233
I will be playing Morgan Barone, uh a mechanic who's infatuated with death metal.

18
00:00:57,345 --> 00:00:58,596
That you will.

19
00:00:58,636 --> 00:01:04,081
And joining us for the first time is a completely new player who's coming in fresh.

20
00:01:04,202 --> 00:01:08,545
He's never played a game, never seen a character sheet before the one I just sent him.

21
00:01:08,626 --> 00:01:10,018
Welcome to the conspiracy.

22
00:01:10,018 --> 00:01:10,719
Thank you.

23
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:11,809
I'm Zach Lemus.

24
00:01:11,809 --> 00:01:20,306
I'll be playing Emmett Flint, a firefighter who likes starting and finishing fires
equally.

25
00:01:20,642 --> 00:01:21,193
Beautiful.

26
00:01:21,193 --> 00:01:22,056
ah

27
00:01:22,056 --> 00:01:23,138
Yeah, happy to be here.

28
00:01:23,138 --> 00:01:27,066
uh Played a couple other RPGs, but never Delta Green.

29
00:01:27,066 --> 00:01:28,378
Excited to jump in.

30
00:01:28,955 --> 00:01:36,499
Yeah, and so on that note, everything is done with, almost everything is done with a D100
dice.

31
00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:38,631
So you can do that two different ways.

32
00:01:38,631 --> 00:01:44,925
You have a percentile dice, which usually has two digits on it, and you have a D10, right?

33
00:01:44,925 --> 00:01:49,807
So you roll your percentile and your D10, and then you get a number.

34
00:01:49,807 --> 00:01:53,729
And you're typically trying to roll under a target in this game.

35
00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:54,730
Now,

36
00:01:55,056 --> 00:02:05,410
If you don't have a percentile dice, try to get two D10s of different colors and say, this
one is my 10s and this one is my one, right?

37
00:02:05,410 --> 00:02:08,171
And then you can roll that way as well.

38
00:02:08,352 --> 00:02:16,395
Now you're looking for multiples of 11 for criticals and that's critical success or
failure.

39
00:02:16,395 --> 00:02:20,177
Any critical success is under your target number.

40
00:02:20,177 --> 00:02:24,058
Any critical failure is above your target.

41
00:02:24,476 --> 00:02:29,492
100s are always fails, critical failures, and then 1s are always critical successes.

42
00:02:29,492 --> 00:02:30,165
Make sense?

43
00:02:30,165 --> 00:02:31,107
Let's do it.

44
00:02:31,502 --> 00:02:32,523
we're stateside.

45
00:02:32,523 --> 00:02:36,826
It's been a few weeks since the incident at the convoy.

46
00:02:37,261 --> 00:02:39,529
I think you're trying to forget, Agent Barone.

47
00:02:39,529 --> 00:02:45,793
You're at a hole in the wall bar at dusk, the kind of place where the whiskey's cheap and
the regrets are free.

48
00:02:46,174 --> 00:02:48,716
You are looking around the bar.

49
00:02:48,716 --> 00:02:50,687
Can you roll alertness for me?

50
00:02:51,009 --> 00:02:52,241
Sure, can do.

51
00:02:52,241 --> 00:02:54,204
So alertness, alertness is pretty good.

52
00:02:54,204 --> 00:02:55,306
I'm looking for 80.

53
00:02:55,306 --> 00:02:59,071
I got 86, starting off with a failure.

54
00:02:59,225 --> 00:03:04,185
And so with an alertness of 80, a lot of times we don't even have somebody roll, right?

55
00:03:04,185 --> 00:03:05,785
Because it is so alert.

56
00:03:05,785 --> 00:03:10,945
But since you're drinking and it's a dark bar, I went ahead and had you roll anyway and
you did fail.

57
00:03:10,945 --> 00:03:13,565
So you don't see anything at first.

58
00:03:13,565 --> 00:03:19,445
But as time goes by, you see him across the room, nursing a drink.

59
00:03:19,485 --> 00:03:22,245
It's a face you can't quite place at first.

60
00:03:22,245 --> 00:03:24,985
And it makes the back of your neck prickle a little bit.

61
00:03:24,985 --> 00:03:26,449
You know him from some.

62
00:03:26,627 --> 00:03:29,652
Alright Barone, this is why you're here.

63
00:03:29,652 --> 00:03:37,624
You got this big girl stand up straight and I walk over and pull the stool out next to him
with it with the loud screech and sit down.

64
00:03:37,624 --> 00:03:44,813
He looks up and smiles at you and puts a hand out and says his name's K.

65
00:03:44,813 --> 00:03:49,519
Uh, yeah, Kay, nice to meet you again, I guess.

66
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:55,505
I shake his hand decently tight, trying to look more confident than I am feeling.

67
00:03:55,765 --> 00:03:59,345
Yeah, go ahead and roll persuasion on that.

68
00:03:59,741 --> 00:04:01,042
Okay, sure.

69
00:04:02,204 --> 00:04:03,705
Persuasion.

70
00:04:04,041 --> 00:04:09,897
I just have my bass of 20 and I got a 90.

71
00:04:09,986 --> 00:04:11,067
he sees through that.

72
00:04:11,067 --> 00:04:22,570
He sees the nerves, the goosebumps on your arms after recognizing him are still present
and you sit there and you're shaking a little bit.

73
00:04:22,570 --> 00:04:25,551
uh He tries to give you a disarming smile.

74
00:04:25,551 --> 00:04:27,232
I'm not sure it works.

75
00:04:27,592 --> 00:04:34,575
And he leans towards you uncomfortably close and just says, I'm here to reach you in.

76
00:04:34,575 --> 00:04:37,833
read me into what?

77
00:04:38,333 --> 00:04:40,357
You don't have anywhere to be tonight, right?

78
00:04:40,357 --> 00:04:42,767
Oh no, yeah, no, this was it.

79
00:04:42,767 --> 00:04:44,832
This is all I got.

80
00:04:45,215 --> 00:04:58,752
Yeah, he reaches down into a small satchel beside him and pulls out a stack of $100 bills
and in plain sight in this bar just sets it in front of you.

81
00:04:58,752 --> 00:05:02,087
ah Can I see the bills like already?

82
00:05:02,274 --> 00:05:03,130
Yeah.

83
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,280
Oh Jesus Christ!

84
00:05:05,380 --> 00:05:06,380
I zip it and pull it off.

85
00:05:06,380 --> 00:05:06,960
I'm like, what?

86
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,520
You can't...

87
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,420
You just...

88
00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:10,040
Just a flashy boy, aren't you?

89
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,928
Just sticking that right out there, huh?

90
00:05:12,747 --> 00:05:20,894
It's, I guess, a way to grease the wheels a little bit to ensure that you're with us
tonight.

91
00:05:21,482 --> 00:05:23,203
Yeah, mean, consider them greased.

92
00:05:23,203 --> 00:05:24,728
How much is this?

93
00:05:25,686 --> 00:05:26,805
You'll get to count it later.

94
00:05:26,805 --> 00:05:28,592
All right, yeah, sure.

95
00:05:28,592 --> 00:05:32,945
I zip it up and it's like a duffel bag, I assume.

96
00:05:33,864 --> 00:05:36,032
It's just a stack of $100 bills.

97
00:05:36,032 --> 00:05:36,634
That's it.

98
00:05:36,634 --> 00:05:37,544
So yeah.

99
00:05:37,544 --> 00:05:42,891
I'll stick it in my jacket trying to look around and make sure nobody sees me.

100
00:05:42,891 --> 00:05:45,018
Yeah.

101
00:05:45,018 --> 00:05:48,157
Go ahead and roll alertness again.

102
00:05:48,501 --> 00:05:50,681
Sure, Alerna still good, 80.

103
00:05:50,681 --> 00:05:52,258
I got a 27.

104
00:05:52,258 --> 00:06:03,109
with that alertness role, you notice in the corner in a booth, a man sitting alone, a
large man, and he's been looking over to you and Kay nervously.

105
00:06:03,109 --> 00:06:05,489
Hey, uh, do we know this guy over here?

106
00:06:05,489 --> 00:06:09,452
And I kinda put my head over my shoulder.

107
00:06:10,098 --> 00:06:17,101
Yeah, he just raises his hand and flicks his finger three times and emit.

108
00:06:17,281 --> 00:06:21,383
From the corner, you know that that's your signal to join him.

109
00:06:21,383 --> 00:06:27,636
You've been patiently waiting and curiously waiting as well for this conversation.

110
00:06:27,636 --> 00:06:40,406
Yeah, I slowly stand up, leaving my barely sipped beer on the table and make my way over,
trying to appear just a little more hunched over.

111
00:06:40,406 --> 00:06:45,552
I know I'm a big guy that I draw a lot of attention to be at bars.

112
00:06:45,552 --> 00:06:55,420
So I try to slink over to the bar top and slide in next to Kay, uh kind of doing the
little

113
00:06:55,423 --> 00:07:01,256
Leading forward, trying to look past K and then leaning back and trying to get a read on
Barone here.

114
00:07:01,256 --> 00:07:03,822
ah But still a little nervous.

115
00:07:03,822 --> 00:07:04,524
Don't say it.

116
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:05,766
Don't say anything.

117
00:07:06,014 --> 00:07:11,253
Yeah, so there are some special roles to kind of gauge somebody.

118
00:07:11,253 --> 00:07:13,916
It's called human intelligence or human.

119
00:07:13,916 --> 00:07:18,225
Can you give me a role of human to see what you can glean about Burone?

120
00:07:18,225 --> 00:07:20,745
Doesn't seem like we'll be able to glean BUNCE much.

121
00:07:20,745 --> 00:07:22,965
I only got 10 % here.

122
00:07:23,225 --> 00:07:24,976
So let's see.

123
00:07:24,976 --> 00:07:26,316
That is a 2.

124
00:07:26,316 --> 00:07:29,016
So actually I can read her quite well.

125
00:07:29,016 --> 00:07:32,716
You know, I've experienced people like Barone in my past.

126
00:07:32,716 --> 00:07:39,136
And I just look her up and down and I act like I know her whole life story already.

127
00:07:39,215 --> 00:07:46,160
as you look at Barone, you see somebody, it's like a flash to the past.

128
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,201
You see yourself sitting in that chair.

129
00:07:48,201 --> 00:07:51,783
You see yourself sitting with Kay wondering what the fuck is going on?

130
00:07:51,783 --> 00:07:53,985
Why is this person talking to me?

131
00:07:54,085 --> 00:07:58,028
And you also saw the stack of cash go her way.

132
00:07:58,028 --> 00:08:07,826
um You think about the stack of cash in your coat pocket right now, and it feels like you
have a kinship immediately with this one.

133
00:08:07,826 --> 00:08:14,686
I lean back and reach a hand over and say, Emmett Flynn, nice to meet you.

134
00:08:14,686 --> 00:08:17,486
I expect you to be my new partner.

135
00:08:17,486 --> 00:08:18,285
Is that it?

136
00:08:18,285 --> 00:08:18,905
K laughs.

137
00:08:18,905 --> 00:08:19,835
uh

138
00:08:20,865 --> 00:08:23,267
Yeah, but maybe so.

139
00:08:23,949 --> 00:08:25,850
Take his hand, shake it.

140
00:08:25,850 --> 00:08:27,733
Does the finger thing work on you every time?

141
00:08:27,733 --> 00:08:31,196
Uh, Kate just said, wait for my signal.

142
00:08:31,196 --> 00:08:36,830
And I, you know, I've never seen him act and move so much with a whole flake of the wrist
and a snap.

143
00:08:36,830 --> 00:08:39,161
So I figured that was it.

144
00:08:39,630 --> 00:08:42,674
Yeah, he's a pithy guy, that's for sure, and I look over at K.

145
00:08:42,696 --> 00:08:45,279
Don't worry, the cash isn't a bribe.

146
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:51,525
It's for gas, hotel rooms, whatever you might need if things don't go your way.

147
00:08:51,766 --> 00:08:56,510
Considerate your new expense account and you get to keep whatever's left over, obviously.

148
00:08:56,510 --> 00:09:01,915
um Well, you guys ready to jump in?

149
00:09:02,027 --> 00:09:03,613
Yeah, why not now?

150
00:09:04,296 --> 00:09:05,247
Yeah, let's go.

151
00:09:05,247 --> 00:09:05,967
uh

152
00:09:05,967 --> 00:09:10,950
All right, a few weeks ago, somebody had a bad day at the office.

153
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:16,163
His name was Clyde and Clyde doesn't live too far from here.

154
00:09:16,163 --> 00:09:18,694
He lives in an apartment.

155
00:09:18,915 --> 00:09:28,896
Our buddy Clyde used to be active with us for a few years, but Clyde had a massive heart
attack and we need some help cleaning up after Clyde.

156
00:09:28,896 --> 00:09:34,511
I'm sorry, you need help cleaning up after a heart attack or removing bodies?

157
00:09:35,344 --> 00:09:36,325
That's a good question.

158
00:09:36,325 --> 00:09:38,116
his body has already been taken care of.

159
00:09:38,116 --> 00:09:47,857
I believe it was found by a neighbor, but in a day or two, I'm not quite sure his children
are gonna come looking through his stuff.

160
00:09:47,857 --> 00:09:52,117
So you are hiring us to just clean his house.

161
00:09:52,117 --> 00:09:54,297
We could hire some maids if you need.

162
00:09:55,173 --> 00:09:58,756
Yeah, in a sense, I guess so.

163
00:09:58,997 --> 00:10:04,341
But I need you to look for anything out of the ordinary.

164
00:10:04,782 --> 00:10:14,630
Any files he might have had, any objects that seem strange to you or give you a strange
feeling.

165
00:10:15,452 --> 00:10:17,304
That's what you're cleaning up.

166
00:10:17,304 --> 00:10:20,800
And if we do find any of these files, what should we do with them?

167
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,713
Keep them and in three days, meet me right back here, about now.

168
00:10:26,713 --> 00:10:28,905
I mean, works for me, we could always get rid of them.

169
00:10:28,905 --> 00:10:39,973
And he pulls out a lighter and flicks it, sparks a light, lets it sit there for a couple
seconds as he looks at it and pulls out a cigarette and lights it.

170
00:10:40,534 --> 00:10:42,085
Give me you a knowing look.

171
00:10:42,545 --> 00:10:47,098
Yeah, the lighting the cigarette illuminates your face.

172
00:10:47,098 --> 00:10:50,789
Barone, this is the first good look you've gotten at Emmett Flint.

173
00:10:50,789 --> 00:10:55,424
um Looks like a, how would you describe yourself?

174
00:10:55,424 --> 00:11:00,606
uh You can tell that growing up, Emmett was probably just a tall string bean.

175
00:11:00,606 --> 00:11:11,979
He's really now grown into his body, getting into the uh firefighting to help quell some
of his darker urges.

176
00:11:11,979 --> 00:11:21,733
If he's been working at it, he wants to make sure that he can not only save people, but
also make a quick getaway if he caused a little more damage than he expected to.

177
00:11:21,881 --> 00:11:30,838
ah So he has now more of a chiseled jaw, long face, real angular looking in the cigarette
light.

178
00:11:30,838 --> 00:11:39,434
As you look at her she looks down and looks at you and realize you're both kind of wearing
the same colored shirt and she's like, nice shirt.

179
00:11:39,434 --> 00:11:40,035
Yeah, thanks.

180
00:11:40,035 --> 00:11:50,302
You know, got it from my old high school and kind of faded down now and just trying to fit
into this bar.

181
00:11:50,302 --> 00:11:54,048
I can't wear my actual suit walking around these days.

182
00:11:54,048 --> 00:11:56,346
Yeah, your actual suit?

183
00:11:56,346 --> 00:12:02,962
you know, fire retardant, has some bright yellow reflective material, you know, kind of
draws a lot of attention.

184
00:12:03,044 --> 00:12:04,996
Right, got you, the fire guy.

185
00:12:04,996 --> 00:12:09,288
Yeah, yeah, okay, now that makes sense, and she points at you lighter.

186
00:12:09,288 --> 00:12:12,380
my old uh, my old nickname fire guy?

187
00:12:12,793 --> 00:12:17,815
f- Well, it's extremely literal and straightforward, apparently.

188
00:12:18,321 --> 00:12:19,805
I really grew into my name.

189
00:12:19,805 --> 00:12:32,357
uh Agent K looks between you two, again shakes his head and says, I have a lot of high
hopes for the two of you, um so don't disappoint me.

190
00:12:32,638 --> 00:12:39,865
And gets up, sets down a $20 bill on the table and starts to leave.

191
00:12:39,896 --> 00:12:40,866
Alright fire guy.

192
00:12:40,866 --> 00:12:45,526
that $20 bills, is that another, is that also part of our payment?

193
00:12:45,526 --> 00:12:50,866
And like looking at you, I could like reach for it and then the bartender quickly snatches
it away.

194
00:12:51,224 --> 00:12:53,814
Yeah, no, big boy, we have a stack of our own.

195
00:12:53,814 --> 00:12:55,026
Let's get going.

196
00:12:55,473 --> 00:13:02,860
when you see the bartender lift up the $20 bill, there is a piece of paper under it that
just sits there.

197
00:13:02,860 --> 00:13:05,423
Bartender doesn't concern themselves with the piece of paper.

198
00:13:05,423 --> 00:13:07,319
Okay, now I think that probably is for you.

199
00:13:07,319 --> 00:13:07,920
Not the tip?

200
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,253
Oh, okay.

201
00:13:09,253 --> 00:13:19,379
And I grab the piece of paper, unfold it, and I scooch one seat over, be sitting next to
it around, and yeah, we take a look at it together.

202
00:13:19,831 --> 00:13:26,638
There is a scrawled address that, and below it says Clyde Bauman.

203
00:13:26,638 --> 00:13:28,651
Is this address in town here?

204
00:13:28,651 --> 00:13:30,373
Are we taking a trip somewhere?

205
00:13:30,373 --> 00:13:32,747
Where do we got to go?

206
00:13:32,747 --> 00:13:33,277
In town?

207
00:13:33,277 --> 00:13:35,619
Well that makes it easy.

208
00:13:35,619 --> 00:13:40,526
All right, ah I guess I'll get the cab.

209
00:13:40,688 --> 00:13:41,748
Let's go.

210
00:13:42,090 --> 00:13:45,525
And then I'll turn around and start heading for the door.

211
00:13:46,469 --> 00:13:52,223
Yeah, you get out, the street is lit with the neon light of the bar,

212
00:13:52,565 --> 00:13:54,793
The bar's name is The Long Face.

213
00:13:54,793 --> 00:14:04,248
You look up at the long face and think why the long face about this guy sitting next to
you, but don't verbalize that.

214
00:14:04,269 --> 00:14:06,512
And you're hailing a cab it sounds like.

215
00:14:07,148 --> 00:14:12,411
Yep, I'll stick my hand up and wave a Hailin cap down

216
00:14:12,826 --> 00:14:16,246
it takes about 15 minutes for one to pass you.

217
00:14:16,246 --> 00:14:26,466
You're on the fringe of the city and you get into the cab with Emmett and start driving to
this address.

218
00:14:26,510 --> 00:14:30,693
so you are both in the cab on your way to this apartment.

219
00:14:30,693 --> 00:14:33,186
um Any conversation between you two?

220
00:14:33,186 --> 00:14:36,077
So how did you meet Kay?

221
00:14:36,462 --> 00:14:38,380
How do you find yourself in this situation?

222
00:14:38,380 --> 00:14:45,840
Uh, well, our moms are best friends and we used to hang out when we were 11 or 12 and then
we grew up and grew distant for a while.

223
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,600
No, man, I fucking...

224
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,700
a really sketchy situation on a convoy in the middle of nowhere.

225
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:54,631
I assume it's probably the same for you.

226
00:14:54,631 --> 00:15:01,891
Yeah, not the convoy part, but he did, you know, he actually did pull me out of a fire one
time.

227
00:15:01,891 --> 00:15:04,091
I don't know how he knew about this.

228
00:15:04,091 --> 00:15:09,482
I don't know if he's the one who started it, but I was called to a house fire.

229
00:15:09,482 --> 00:15:18,242
And he seemed to have quite an interest in what survived, what didn't, especially what
didn't survive.

230
00:15:18,502 --> 00:15:22,482
And he grabbed me right then and there.

231
00:15:23,354 --> 00:15:27,787
metaphorically grabbing me, not physically grabbing me.

232
00:15:27,948 --> 00:15:29,390
Well, I mean, I don't know about that.

233
00:15:29,390 --> 00:15:32,426
You did just say that he pulled you out of the fire.

234
00:15:32,426 --> 00:15:35,031
I don't think he metaphorically pulled you out of the fire, did he?

235
00:15:35,031 --> 00:15:42,091
A little column A, a little column B, you know, I have things handled, you know, but I'm
glad he was there.

236
00:15:42,221 --> 00:15:43,797
Yeah, I'm sure you did, big guy.

237
00:15:43,797 --> 00:15:46,696
have a masculinity of the titan

238
00:15:47,572 --> 00:15:51,107
So, uh, are you a music person in incapacity?

239
00:15:51,107 --> 00:15:56,367
you know, some good classic rock, top 50, a little bit of everything, you know.

240
00:15:56,567 --> 00:15:57,587
What about you?

241
00:15:57,823 --> 00:15:59,864
Oh man, all sorts of shit.

242
00:15:59,864 --> 00:16:02,485
All the heavier stuff usually slaps, like...

243
00:16:02,825 --> 00:16:04,065
Let's see.

244
00:16:04,086 --> 00:16:05,781
Gorn fatuation.

245
00:16:05,781 --> 00:16:07,927
Oh shit, malice and knives is pretty good.

246
00:16:07,927 --> 00:16:12,849
uh Bleeding out from a throat wound is probably up there.

247
00:16:12,950 --> 00:16:15,801
Intestine copulation is pretty solid.

248
00:16:15,831 --> 00:16:18,392
you fucking can't do anything without violence.

249
00:16:18,392 --> 00:16:20,523
Violence absolutely slaps.

250
00:16:21,211 --> 00:16:23,515
Are we still talking about music here or are a kink?

251
00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:25,501
Little column A, little column B.

252
00:16:25,501 --> 00:16:27,244
can't.

253
00:16:27,244 --> 00:16:27,859
Touche.

254
00:16:27,859 --> 00:16:28,672
Touche indeed.

255
00:16:28,672 --> 00:16:31,140
Yeah, no, that was all music, my guy.

256
00:16:32,367 --> 00:16:33,878
I gotta look him up.

257
00:16:35,089 --> 00:16:37,530
I mean, watch your search history with that.

258
00:16:38,041 --> 00:16:41,244
Yeah, you're a Alta Vista web browser.

259
00:16:41,244 --> 00:16:44,307
um Would be betraying you at this point.

260
00:16:45,609 --> 00:16:48,121
Yeah, you're starting to get there.

261
00:16:48,922 --> 00:16:50,543
The cab pulls up.

262
00:16:50,543 --> 00:16:53,084
You see the place, you know the place.

263
00:16:53,124 --> 00:16:58,667
I'm sure you do because you've driven past it a hundred times in your life, maybe a
thousand.

264
00:16:58,667 --> 00:17:03,249
It's just one of those apartment buildings built in the sixties, blocky and drab.

265
00:17:03,249 --> 00:17:10,231
Looks like it was designed a man who, or excuse me, looks like it was designed by a man
who hated shapes and color.

266
00:17:10,332 --> 00:17:11,832
Maybe people too.

267
00:17:11,832 --> 00:17:13,553
It's kind of slumped.

268
00:17:13,977 --> 00:17:17,160
in a declining working class neighborhood.

269
00:17:17,201 --> 00:17:24,488
And it's a place where the American dream came to cough up a little bit and sputter and
then eventually die.

270
00:17:25,229 --> 00:17:31,395
And there's a small office at the bottom floor and it looks like it's two stories.

271
00:17:32,037 --> 00:17:36,145
Entering in the front, you walking around, what's your approach?

272
00:17:36,145 --> 00:17:36,956
Yeah.

273
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,205
Did we have a apartment number on the address or just this building?

274
00:17:42,205 --> 00:17:43,585
201.

275
00:17:44,231 --> 00:17:54,255
Yeah, we, I say we just walk in like we own place, head on up, you know, like we're guests
of Clyde.

276
00:17:54,391 --> 00:17:55,445
Yeah, absolutely.

277
00:17:55,445 --> 00:17:59,711
think going and acting like we're supposed to be here is the best way to look unnoticed.

278
00:18:00,507 --> 00:18:08,160
You open the door, it's a glass door and you get to a second door with some stairs behind
it.

279
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:21,904
Off to your right, there is a aging woman sitting with her feet up reading a book and she
kind of looks up at you as you go to that second door and proceed up the stairs.

280
00:18:22,284 --> 00:18:25,016
And you get to the door, it is locked.

281
00:18:25,016 --> 00:18:25,976
Uh, H.

282
00:18:25,976 --> 00:18:29,976
McBaron, do you have any way to get in here?

283
00:18:29,996 --> 00:18:33,196
I, you know, don't want to make too much noise just yet.

284
00:18:33,196 --> 00:18:37,736
We could definitely break this door down, but I want to defer to you first.

285
00:18:38,626 --> 00:18:44,252
I sadly, I think these doors usually don't do as much as people want them to.

286
00:18:44,252 --> 00:18:47,335
You could sometimes slip a credit card in there and get it right open.

287
00:18:47,335 --> 00:18:50,518
And I will get a credit card out and try exactly that.

288
00:18:51,122 --> 00:18:56,896
Yeah, and so there is no credit card skill for opening a door, right?

289
00:18:56,896 --> 00:19:03,130
So in these instances, I would have you look at your character sheet and look at your main
statistics.

290
00:19:03,130 --> 00:19:07,673
This is strength, constitution, dexterity, intelligence, power, and charisma.

291
00:19:07,674 --> 00:19:15,459
And then I would make you do a score times five role based on what I think is the best one
to use, right?

292
00:19:15,459 --> 00:19:18,721
So in this instance, dexterity is probably the best.

293
00:19:18,721 --> 00:19:20,402
So give me a

294
00:19:20,402 --> 00:19:22,066
Dex times five roll.

295
00:19:22,066 --> 00:19:23,046
Sounds good.

296
00:19:23,046 --> 00:19:27,446
My base deck score is 14 times 5 would be 70.

297
00:19:27,526 --> 00:19:28,926
And here we go.

298
00:19:29,546 --> 00:19:32,066
I got a 5005.

299
00:19:32,066 --> 00:19:32,874
Aced it.

300
00:19:33,056 --> 00:19:48,831
All right, you slip the credit card in, you feel the telltale wiggle of the door starting
to wiggle open and the uh bolt just slides back as your credit card goes through and then

301
00:19:48,831 --> 00:19:51,864
the door swings a jar slightly.

302
00:19:51,864 --> 00:19:54,404
right I think this is our way in.

303
00:19:54,404 --> 00:19:55,328
I'm glad that worked.

304
00:19:55,328 --> 00:19:57,570
That was just yeah tell me about it.

305
00:19:57,570 --> 00:20:04,637
I was just guessing man that fucking absolutely and I'll inch it open just a little bit
and I'll listen first.

306
00:20:04,637 --> 00:20:11,671
I'm not expecting anybody to be here but it doesn't it doesn't hurt to double check so
listen first and then if I don't hear anything I'll open slowly

307
00:20:11,671 --> 00:20:16,484
With your alertness of 80, there doesn't seem to be anything in there.

308
00:20:16,484 --> 00:20:21,086
You do hear back down the stairs, some rustling.

309
00:20:21,607 --> 00:20:27,850
It seems like the lady who is down there is moving around a little bit.

310
00:20:28,650 --> 00:20:30,791
you know, sorry.

311
00:20:31,512 --> 00:20:37,255
As the door opens and you're listening, it's not any sight that hits you, it's the smell.

312
00:20:37,255 --> 00:20:40,357
It's like a ghost of a million cigarettes.

313
00:20:41,015 --> 00:20:43,447
wafting into your face.

314
00:20:43,447 --> 00:20:57,596
In fact, you probably almost cough a little bit with how stale and uh nasty that is and
you can even see in just a little bit through the crack you're listening that there's a

315
00:20:57,596 --> 00:21:05,472
patina of like white and yellow cigarette smoke in the walls.

316
00:21:05,472 --> 00:21:06,872
Tina Filth.

317
00:21:06,872 --> 00:21:08,840
That's another great band name.

318
00:21:09,275 --> 00:21:10,353
Yeah, there you go.

319
00:21:10,353 --> 00:21:15,060
Alright, yeah, I'll open quickly and make quick work of getting inside.

320
00:21:15,060 --> 00:21:15,622
Come on.

321
00:21:15,622 --> 00:21:24,882
I slip in, quietly close the door behind me and uh, uh, Verona, I was going to say we
should close all the blinds, but I think we do need to crack a window here.

322
00:21:24,882 --> 00:21:28,962
This is for working in here for the next hour or two.

323
00:21:28,962 --> 00:21:30,422
This ain't gonna fly.

324
00:21:30,902 --> 00:21:32,053
yeah, no, I'm down with that.

325
00:21:32,053 --> 00:21:36,598
I thought you'd be kind of right at home, but uh, yeah, I guess let's open one.

326
00:21:36,598 --> 00:21:40,671
I mean, I'll walk over and go to window and crack it open.

327
00:21:41,222 --> 00:21:42,743
get the lights at least.

328
00:21:43,162 --> 00:21:54,418
Yeah, reach around for a light switch, try to get the lay of the land, know, try to
understand kind of the layout first before we start digging into a search.

329
00:21:54,726 --> 00:21:56,767
you find the light switch no problem.

330
00:21:56,767 --> 00:21:59,748
The apartment is Spartan and grim.

331
00:21:59,748 --> 00:22:12,131
There's a worn out couch that faces an archaic squat television tube and it kind of is
just staring back at you like a hunched over pagan dead TV God.

332
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:16,993
There's a coffee table with the last remnants of life stalled out on it.

333
00:22:16,993 --> 00:22:21,514
You see unfinished crossword puzzle, a book with a bookmark.

334
00:22:21,514 --> 00:22:25,816
right in the middle of it and some old issues of Reader's Digest.

335
00:22:25,816 --> 00:22:34,219
And next to that is a box of powdered donuts that look like they're probably crumbly and
dry now.

336
00:22:34,420 --> 00:22:40,862
And from that living room, if you could call it a living room, uh you see a kitchen.

337
00:22:41,603 --> 00:22:44,744
And the kitchen is more like a morgue.

338
00:22:44,744 --> 00:22:47,069
It's pretty bare looking around.

339
00:22:47,069 --> 00:22:49,746
There are a few cans and pans left out.

340
00:22:50,014 --> 00:23:00,282
The refrigerator humming is the only splash of life you get in this apartment and it's
when you open it if you open it the light would probably not work.

341
00:23:01,384 --> 00:23:13,824
But on the fridge as you're walking around you see a child's drawing with a stick figure
it says grandpa on it without the D and it's signed by a little girl named Cassie it looks

342
00:23:13,824 --> 00:23:17,596
like and there are two gold stars on the bottom of that.

343
00:23:17,997 --> 00:23:19,358
It's the only

344
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:22,470
splash of color in this gray place anyway.

345
00:23:24,791 --> 00:23:29,316
Hey bro, did Casey win Clyde passed?

346
00:23:29,316 --> 00:23:30,314
long ago was?

347
00:23:30,314 --> 00:23:31,521
Well, I think it was recent.

348
00:23:31,521 --> 00:23:33,589
I think it was within the last couple days.

349
00:23:34,252 --> 00:23:38,715
perfect, then I go and pick up a couple of donuts and start munching.

350
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,571
That is absolutely fetid.

351
00:23:41,571 --> 00:23:43,549
Does it taste like the room smells?

352
00:23:44,366 --> 00:23:44,845
Yeah.

353
00:23:44,845 --> 00:23:47,811
You know, everything just kind of tastes the same at this point.

354
00:23:47,811 --> 00:23:49,745
You know, it's already in my nose.

355
00:23:49,745 --> 00:23:53,943
It's trying to get some powdered up there as well.

356
00:23:54,625 --> 00:23:56,748
know, anything helps right now.

357
00:23:57,116 --> 00:23:59,801
I guess get some sustenance in when you can man, it's...

358
00:23:59,801 --> 00:24:01,265
yep, alright.

359
00:24:02,031 --> 00:24:07,214
So when searching for something, we will have both of you roll a search, right?

360
00:24:07,214 --> 00:24:11,056
And with enough time in any location, you will succeed a search.

361
00:24:11,056 --> 00:24:14,778
The only reason I'm having you roll is to see how much time it takes.

362
00:24:14,778 --> 00:24:16,098
Does that make sense?

363
00:24:16,938 --> 00:24:18,116
Yeah, sounds good.

364
00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:21,348
Yeah, give me a search role.

365
00:24:21,348 --> 00:24:24,720
So find search on your character sheet, roll it and see if you get under it.

366
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,441
Be.

367
00:24:25,553 --> 00:24:27,429
Both of you, you're first though.

368
00:24:27,429 --> 00:24:32,700
Let's see here, my search, 40%, not too bad.

369
00:24:32,740 --> 00:24:36,280
Let's see what we have, and that would be a 96.

370
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,900
I'm still just up in my face with donuts.

371
00:24:38,900 --> 00:24:42,060
I've moved over to the kitchen, opened up the fridge.

372
00:24:42,860 --> 00:24:48,200
Take a couple more sniffs, make sure nothing smells too bad, and start rooting around in
there instead.

373
00:24:48,885 --> 00:24:50,845
Yeah, it's pretty Spartan.

374
00:24:50,845 --> 00:24:56,245
There's no milk or anything, but there's no rotten food yet.

375
00:24:56,245 --> 00:24:58,645
There wasn't anything in there that could go rotten.

376
00:24:58,645 --> 00:25:00,585
It's just mostly condiments.

377
00:25:01,005 --> 00:25:03,885
Agent Barone, go ahead and hit me with that search too.

378
00:25:03,973 --> 00:25:04,525
Yeah, sure.

379
00:25:04,525 --> 00:25:05,257
I'm looking for a 50.

380
00:25:05,257 --> 00:25:08,649
I got uh a 53, barely.

381
00:25:08,649 --> 00:25:14,474
Okay, you know, we can fail by degrees, so it's gonna take you a little bit longer.

382
00:25:14,474 --> 00:25:26,305
One thing you do notice as you're rooting around, since your nose isn't in the fridge,
Barone, you can smell just a strange smell from down the hall.

383
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:30,480
And like, if you were to follow it, it would lead you to the bathroom.

384
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:36,098
Yeah, mean, absolutely any lead looking for anything a bathroom wouldn't be the first
place I think to start.

385
00:25:36,098 --> 00:25:38,243
But if some's leading me there.

386
00:25:38,462 --> 00:25:43,894
Yeah, you get there and the room is in a disturbed state.

387
00:25:43,894 --> 00:25:45,995
The towel rack is busted off the wall.

388
00:25:45,995 --> 00:25:47,756
The shower door is cracked.

389
00:25:47,756 --> 00:25:49,577
It looks like a new crack.

390
00:25:49,577 --> 00:25:54,719
There is little shards of ceramic in the toothbrush holder.

391
00:25:54,719 --> 00:25:58,920
And it looks like some of the ceramic has been swept into a corner.

392
00:25:59,121 --> 00:26:04,843
And it looks like there was some clumsy thing happening in here.

393
00:26:04,843 --> 00:26:06,404
And yeah, the smell.

394
00:26:07,296 --> 00:26:09,805
kind of says maybe this was the place he died.

395
00:26:09,805 --> 00:26:12,459
Hey hey fire guy, did uh...

396
00:26:12,459 --> 00:26:14,639
They said that he died by a heart attack, right?

397
00:26:14,639 --> 00:26:20,952
Yeah, heart attack and what he was brought out of here a few days ago.

398
00:26:20,955 --> 00:26:22,334
You find something?

399
00:26:22,334 --> 00:26:23,744
Well, I mean, I don't know.

400
00:26:23,744 --> 00:26:32,200
I don't know of many people who have a heart attack into the shower, into the mirror, into
the spread glass and ceramic all over the place.

401
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:38,706
And I'll start looking a little closer at the bits and shards and try to piece together
what happened in here.

402
00:26:38,706 --> 00:26:45,287
Yeah, give me a forensic role and if you are doing the same, you can give me a role as
well.

403
00:26:45,887 --> 00:26:51,847
Yeah, as Varun asked me about it, I come over and see the scene in this bathroom.

404
00:26:51,847 --> 00:26:54,278
I like, boy, all right.

405
00:26:54,278 --> 00:27:04,878
Maybe this is his death rose, but this looks a little more forceful than someone just
kinda slipping over and falling into the tub or something.

406
00:27:06,218 --> 00:27:06,471
yeah.

407
00:27:06,471 --> 00:27:07,471
Weird.

408
00:27:07,991 --> 00:27:12,331
I have forensics of zero, so I'm going to be rolling anyways.

409
00:27:13,071 --> 00:27:15,891
And I rolled a 65, a failure, obviously.

410
00:27:16,434 --> 00:27:17,934
So what would happen if you have a zero?

411
00:27:17,934 --> 00:27:21,614
What would you need to actually succeed or you just can't succeed?

412
00:27:22,714 --> 00:27:23,454
A what?

413
00:27:24,194 --> 00:27:25,334
A one?

414
00:27:26,338 --> 00:27:28,638
I have forensics of 60.

415
00:27:28,638 --> 00:27:34,018
Actually, I've seen some scenes of destruction before and caused some of my own.

416
00:27:34,178 --> 00:27:37,258
And we have a 43 out of 60.

417
00:27:37,511 --> 00:27:41,791
Yeah, you look around and at first it is pretty intense.

418
00:27:41,791 --> 00:27:47,691
Like the scene does look like a lot of destruction, but you can kind of imagine it in your
head.

419
00:27:47,851 --> 00:27:52,771
Him getting up off the toilet, something happening, his heart attack hitting.

420
00:27:52,771 --> 00:28:01,775
It looks like maybe he smashed his head into the shower door based on where the crack is
and then fell down and some part of him hit.

421
00:28:01,775 --> 00:28:10,794
the ceramic sink and cracked and knocked over the toothbrush holder and then it looks like
whoever got the body out of here swept some of the ceramic in the corner.

422
00:28:10,794 --> 00:28:13,218
They didn't bother doing too much cleaning.

423
00:28:13,218 --> 00:28:20,624
So it still kind of looks to me that this was his death rose and not someone actually
throwing him around.

424
00:28:20,624 --> 00:28:21,833
Yep, absolutely.

425
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:25,753
Well, doesn't really seem like flat foul played.

426
00:28:25,793 --> 00:28:28,653
Based on the amount of damage here, it doesn't look nice.

427
00:28:28,653 --> 00:28:34,964
I wouldn't have wanted to have seen this, but you know, hard attack still seems like it's
on the menu.

428
00:28:34,964 --> 00:28:35,614
Interesting.

429
00:28:35,614 --> 00:28:36,165
All right.

430
00:28:36,165 --> 00:28:40,728
mean, I've seen, I mean, I'm an ER head right now.

431
00:28:40,728 --> 00:28:52,987
I'm digging deep in that show, but I guess I assumed when everybody had a heart attack,
they just kind of passed away safely in bed, not while they're taking a dump and smash

432
00:28:52,987 --> 00:28:55,239
their head into the porcelain.

433
00:28:55,239 --> 00:28:57,650
That's a sight, huh?

434
00:28:58,478 --> 00:29:03,058
down the hall, you see the one bedroom apartment door open.

435
00:29:03,058 --> 00:29:04,778
You can see that it is a bedroom.

436
00:29:04,778 --> 00:29:06,458
It's dark in there.

437
00:29:07,078 --> 00:29:08,389
What are you guys doing next?

438
00:29:08,389 --> 00:29:12,819
uh Yeah, it doesn't seem like there's anything else in here.

439
00:29:12,819 --> 00:29:13,890
Check out the bedroom.

440
00:29:13,890 --> 00:29:20,012
Did he look like he had an office set up in the living room or is just his lazy boy chair
in front of the TV?

441
00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:34,605
Yeah, just this Lazy Boy chair, you do notice if you're back in the living room, you do
notice that there is a key ring uh by the chair on the wall behind it that has some keys

442
00:29:34,605 --> 00:29:35,445
on it.

443
00:29:35,637 --> 00:29:37,071
Yeah.

444
00:29:37,756 --> 00:29:41,841
Does it look like it's just his apartment key or something more than that?

445
00:29:42,645 --> 00:29:51,452
Yeah, it looks like there's an apartment key and then you have, there's one key that looks
hefty and like it could be to a padlock.

446
00:29:51,452 --> 00:30:00,871
And then the third key on it, you just see has a white sticker and it's faded and a big C
on it.

447
00:30:00,871 --> 00:30:07,998
Alright, I'll grab that key ring and look for something else with a big old Fated C on it.

448
00:30:08,519 --> 00:30:13,093
I'd say we head into the bedroom.

449
00:30:13,193 --> 00:30:14,714
yeah bedroom sounds good.

450
00:30:14,714 --> 00:30:24,315
uh usually in a complex like this if there's not enough room there could be a storage
locker or something down below so let's just take the room number and you know see if

451
00:30:24,315 --> 00:30:27,698
there's anything like that after the bedroom if we haven't come up with anything

452
00:30:28,219 --> 00:30:29,621
like the way you think.

453
00:30:30,585 --> 00:30:32,487
But yeah.

454
00:30:33,591 --> 00:30:37,018
And then, so then I sashay towards the bedroom.

455
00:30:38,372 --> 00:30:39,600
You

456
00:30:39,792 --> 00:30:45,599
Yeah, you get to the bedroom and there's a bed addresser that has some photos.

457
00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:48,292
It looks like he was married once.

458
00:30:48,552 --> 00:30:49,804
see.

459
00:30:49,928 --> 00:30:54,889
two kids in graduation photos with what looks to be Clyde.

460
00:30:54,950 --> 00:30:59,871
He looks like a man in his 60s in those pictures.

461
00:30:59,871 --> 00:31:06,253
So depending on how long that was ago, he's might be fairly old or was fairly old when he
died.

462
00:31:06,253 --> 00:31:14,235
um And yeah, the wife disappears from the pictures later and it's just him and the kids.

463
00:31:16,075 --> 00:31:18,296
There's no computer in here.

464
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,882
is not an office.

465
00:31:21,882 --> 00:31:28,145
It looks like there's some paper on a bed or sorry.

466
00:31:28,687 --> 00:31:36,243
You look over and next to the bed there are a stack of papers on a nightstand and that's
about it.

467
00:31:36,243 --> 00:31:47,239
dibs and I run over the paper hopefully uh trying to make myself useful botching so far in
forensics and all these other roles and not doing super great.

468
00:31:47,239 --> 00:31:48,590
Let's head for that paper.

469
00:31:48,637 --> 00:31:50,872
Yeah, do you have any bureaucracy?

470
00:31:51,408 --> 00:31:52,530
bureaucracy.

471
00:31:52,530 --> 00:31:53,598
I do.

472
00:31:53,598 --> 00:31:54,657
Yep, sure do.

473
00:31:54,657 --> 00:31:56,570
All right, give me a bureaucracy role.

474
00:31:56,570 --> 00:32:01,746
And again, with enough time, you will succeed, but this is just to see how much time it
takes you to do it.

475
00:32:01,746 --> 00:32:08,025
bureaucracy for the dibs you called and I will if you success I will uh honor that dibs.

476
00:32:08,422 --> 00:32:15,522
Dale, I'm looking for a 40 and I rolled a 66, a critical failure.

477
00:32:16,041 --> 00:32:19,354
Yeah, you are flipping through a lot of it.

478
00:32:19,354 --> 00:32:20,915
There is just life stuff.

479
00:32:20,915 --> 00:32:22,907
There's bills, there's medical bills.

480
00:32:22,907 --> 00:32:28,541
There is a registration for a car that's expired.

481
00:32:28,601 --> 00:32:40,262
And with some time, about another half an hour, uh you come across a title to a cabin that
is about three hours north of here.

482
00:32:40,262 --> 00:32:44,602
Huh, uh, C for cabin, and I take the paper up and I wave it.

483
00:32:44,602 --> 00:32:45,502
You know what?

484
00:32:45,502 --> 00:32:48,862
I think we check the storage and we'll check the cabin.

485
00:32:49,842 --> 00:32:57,922
I mean, in case these are some pretty sensitive documents, they may be up there, but you
know, you got to look in all the lesser known hiding spots.

486
00:32:57,922 --> 00:33:01,062
And then I just take the mattress and flip it up,

487
00:33:01,063 --> 00:33:01,544
Yeah.

488
00:33:01,544 --> 00:33:02,699
god, yeah, let's go.

489
00:33:02,699 --> 00:33:04,698
And I push over the nightstand.

490
00:33:04,698 --> 00:33:06,284
Like, woo, we're in it here.

491
00:33:06,284 --> 00:33:07,015
Yeah, bud.

492
00:33:07,015 --> 00:33:08,358
doing it, yes.

493
00:33:08,489 --> 00:33:14,267
There's just a dead hooker in between the mattress and the, no, no, no.

494
00:33:14,267 --> 00:33:18,253
no, no.

495
00:33:18,253 --> 00:33:22,761
No, it's not clean, but there's nothing hidden in there.

496
00:33:22,761 --> 00:33:29,330
you're looking through, you find a death certificate ah for Marlene.

497
00:33:29,452 --> 00:33:31,595
It looks to be his wife.

498
00:33:31,595 --> 00:33:35,679
That's the only other thing you find that kind of piques your interest.

499
00:33:35,851 --> 00:33:43,683
I'll take note of the name, but I think we should leave that certificate here, or as gives
defined.

500
00:33:44,071 --> 00:33:45,092
Yeah, 100%.

501
00:33:45,092 --> 00:33:48,855
They might want it for sure.

502
00:33:48,856 --> 00:33:51,758
You know, you always hope that you go before your partners.

503
00:33:51,762 --> 00:33:54,582
Yeah, but that only works 50 % of the time, right?

504
00:33:55,574 --> 00:33:58,467
I mean, if the chances are anywhere near that easy, I guess so.

505
00:33:58,467 --> 00:34:00,038
Uh, sure.

506
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:03,362
And I, I fold it up and put it back where I found it.

507
00:34:03,362 --> 00:34:06,975
And as I think about that, I turn around and back up slowly.

508
00:34:06,975 --> 00:34:16,754
And as a fire guy goes to walk out of the room, I take the thing that I pushed over and
slowly put it back where it was very quietly and respectfully and walk out of the bedroom.

509
00:34:17,947 --> 00:34:19,789
Beautiful.

510
00:34:19,789 --> 00:34:22,772
We didn't see any car keys attached to those keys, did we?

511
00:34:23,113 --> 00:34:27,274
Yeah, you can roll luck to see if you find car keys in the apartment.

512
00:34:27,274 --> 00:34:33,074
a luck roll is always a 50, 50 shot, right?

513
00:34:33,074 --> 00:34:38,354
Under 50 is going to be you were lucky, over 50 you were unlucky.

514
00:34:38,354 --> 00:34:43,734
Unless there's some unnatural thing happening that makes you particularly lucky or
unlucky.

515
00:34:43,874 --> 00:34:45,325
Go ahead and roll luck for me.

516
00:34:45,325 --> 00:34:50,266
I got an 83, yet another failure today.

517
00:34:50,266 --> 00:34:52,472
Yeah, no car keys in the apartment.

518
00:34:53,119 --> 00:35:01,542
Okay, so speaking of failures in all of these times I'm failing, I assume you get a little
bit better every time you fail something, yes?

519
00:35:01,542 --> 00:35:02,674
There you go, yeah.

520
00:35:02,674 --> 00:35:09,176
So in your character sheet, next to each skill, there is a place you can check where you
fail.

521
00:35:09,176 --> 00:35:14,905
So every failure that comes up, have a chance in your between, or sorry.

522
00:35:14,977 --> 00:35:18,681
When you fail a skill, you check it off on your character sheet.

523
00:35:18,681 --> 00:35:29,704
And then between sessions, you have a chance to raise that percentage by rolling D4 on
each of your failures and then adding that to the ah percentage you have.

524
00:35:29,704 --> 00:35:32,058
So it's incremental growth, but it's growth.

525
00:35:32,058 --> 00:35:33,370
Awesome, sounds good.

526
00:35:33,370 --> 00:35:39,164
Well, my sheet looks like tic-tac-toes with no O's and all X's, so let's get going.

527
00:35:39,164 --> 00:35:39,920
Yeah.

528
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:46,674
Well, actually I did want to check out, you said there was a book on his coffee table with
a bookmark in it.

529
00:35:46,674 --> 00:35:48,585
Could I check out that book?

530
00:35:49,206 --> 00:35:53,008
You know, see if it has any significance and see what page he's turned to.

531
00:35:53,336 --> 00:35:54,266
Yeah.

532
00:35:56,607 --> 00:35:58,627
No, it's the Doubt H-ing.

533
00:35:58,627 --> 00:36:05,749
Now, it is the um second Dune novel, Dune Messiah.

534
00:36:05,749 --> 00:36:11,200
It's a shorter than the first, but he's smack dab in the middle of um it.

535
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:22,444
looks like just looking at the page that the uh main character Muad'Dib um or Paul has
recently been blinded by something and that's all you glean from it.

536
00:36:22,444 --> 00:36:25,404
Oh man, Clyde had a great taste in fiction.

537
00:36:25,404 --> 00:36:31,424
I mean, I just watched the movie the other week and know, Marnie McFly, he was in it,
right?

538
00:36:32,104 --> 00:36:38,764
And Captain Kirk, I don't know, all those guys, I mean, those computer graphics were
amazing.

539
00:36:38,764 --> 00:36:44,544
That shield fight they did with the knives and man, have you seen that one?

540
00:36:44,704 --> 00:36:49,439
Or are you too busy listening to Ice Gouge Shouter, whatever you like here.

541
00:36:49,439 --> 00:36:55,648
I mean come on man they're a little too soft for me I wouldn't put that shit in my ears if
I fucking had to.

542
00:36:56,109 --> 00:37:02,671
that book though that's a that's about where I stopped after that man that whole thing
it's got an acid trip my god.

543
00:37:02,671 --> 00:37:07,013
Yeah, so you have a Fiorber drive in front of you.

544
00:37:07,013 --> 00:37:09,914
We're pushing about 10 p.m.

545
00:37:11,735 --> 00:37:12,595
How are you gonna get up there?

546
00:37:12,595 --> 00:37:13,675
You took a cab here.

547
00:37:13,675 --> 00:37:18,737
um What's the tact on getting a car and driving up there?

548
00:37:18,998 --> 00:37:19,679
Barone.

549
00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:21,620
Oh shoot.

550
00:37:22,061 --> 00:37:26,414
Well, we failed at keys in the easy route.

551
00:37:26,414 --> 00:37:29,907
I don't really want to steal something.

552
00:37:29,907 --> 00:37:31,548
We have a whole heap of cash.

553
00:37:31,548 --> 00:37:35,791
ah What does a car rental look like at this time of night?

554
00:37:36,779 --> 00:37:38,151
nothing would be open.

555
00:37:38,151 --> 00:37:43,196
So unless you wanted to hoof it to an airport or take a cab to an airport.

556
00:37:43,751 --> 00:37:46,232
Yeah, absolute waste of time.

557
00:37:47,033 --> 00:37:51,356
Well, I see you're good with fire, apparently.

558
00:37:51,356 --> 00:37:56,270
Are you good with theft and other illegal things and felonies?

559
00:37:56,270 --> 00:37:59,470
I mean, now's a good as time to start, right?

560
00:37:59,656 --> 00:38:03,829
Yeah, I guess we have a thick parking lot full of metal behind us as well.

561
00:38:03,829 --> 00:38:11,317
um Actually, yeah, I am decidedly familiar with cars and what makes them tick and run.

562
00:38:11,317 --> 00:38:18,084
um Usually I wouldn't take something that's not mine if I don't absolutely have to at this
point in time.

563
00:38:18,084 --> 00:38:20,285
I think we probably have to.

564
00:38:20,286 --> 00:38:24,099
Let's go back in that parking lot and search for a new vehicle.

565
00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:26,625
Yeah, go ahead and roll me luck again.

566
00:38:26,625 --> 00:38:28,160
Both of you can roll this time.

567
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,558
50, we got a 12.

568
00:38:31,545 --> 00:38:34,921
Thank God because I got a 56 healthily failing again.

569
00:38:34,921 --> 00:38:37,344
You can't get better at luck, can you?

570
00:38:37,866 --> 00:38:38,661
No, okay.

571
00:38:38,661 --> 00:38:41,247
All right, I was looking for a box for that X, that's for sure.

572
00:38:41,247 --> 00:38:42,658
know.

573
00:38:42,658 --> 00:39:00,724
Yeah, uh you look around and you see a pickup truck, a small Chevy love LUV and there is a
window cracked open that you think you could fit your arm through to unlock it.

574
00:39:00,724 --> 00:39:07,670
uh Yeah, call over, barone, and say, hey, I think we could uh hop into this one.

575
00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:18,198
And I reach through, don't even need to get on my tippy toes, I'm just big enough to reach
my hand through and find that unlock button.

576
00:39:18,619 --> 00:39:20,550
It's slipping to the driver's seat.

577
00:39:20,616 --> 00:39:21,567
yeah, cool, got it.

578
00:39:21,567 --> 00:39:30,423
As soon as the second it's open, I will ah get supinated and jump right in under there
looking for those wires.

579
00:39:30,717 --> 00:39:40,666
Yeah, you are so familiar with engines and the electronics on these simple older trucks
that you're able to hotwire it without a roll.

580
00:39:40,666 --> 00:39:44,750
um And it sparks to life.

581
00:39:44,990 --> 00:39:47,543
What do you, you guys just hopping in and taking off?

582
00:39:47,543 --> 00:39:52,410
Yeah, I don't think we should stick around here if we're committing some grand theft auto.

583
00:39:52,410 --> 00:39:56,545
So yeah, we got the address, the cabin.

584
00:39:57,482 --> 00:39:59,922
Your estimation, good, sorry.

585
00:40:00,369 --> 00:40:03,373
is there any paper and like a pen or marker in here?

586
00:40:03,958 --> 00:40:06,575
Sure, Glove box.

587
00:40:07,955 --> 00:40:14,370
take a piece of paper and say, borrowing this slash will bring back and then toss it out
the window and drive off.

588
00:40:14,784 --> 00:40:15,984
All right, done.

589
00:40:15,984 --> 00:40:23,266
uh Paper lands on the ground and you are on your way north into the woods.

590
00:40:23,546 --> 00:40:32,109
You don't know the area up here, but the drive is long and sprawling through dark canopies
of forests.

591
00:40:32,109 --> 00:40:39,711
You see the stars every once in a while peek through them, but it is quite dense and
forested up here.

592
00:40:39,891 --> 00:40:44,343
Any other conversation as you go or do you wanna just get right to the cabin?

593
00:40:44,343 --> 00:40:47,907
So have you ever been out to the woods up north here?

594
00:40:47,907 --> 00:40:59,082
I'm definitely not a city girl and I may have slept under the stars once or twice with a
platoon of people in the middle of fucking nowhere so yes and no-ish I mean I don't think

595
00:40:59,082 --> 00:41:02,797
I've really been camping around here too terribly often what about yourself?

596
00:41:03,341 --> 00:41:05,396
Yeah, I like to vacation up here

597
00:41:05,396 --> 00:41:09,908
Speaking of, and I'll turn on the radio and see if there's anything on.

598
00:41:10,663 --> 00:41:22,504
Yeah, it is AM radio and you're dealing with middle of the night preachers screaming the
gospel in your face.

599
00:41:22,756 --> 00:41:24,740
Okay, wrong type of screaming.

600
00:41:24,740 --> 00:41:26,524
I'll turn that right back off.

601
00:41:26,524 --> 00:41:30,373
I guess we'll just sit here in silence unless you want to tell me a story.

602
00:41:30,373 --> 00:41:37,540
Well, about four years ago, and it all started when I was on the job.

603
00:41:37,540 --> 00:41:40,480
oh

604
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:45,256
together, we need to learn when jokes are happening and not and get this, you know, back
and forth going.

605
00:41:45,256 --> 00:41:46,508
That was that was a ha ha joke.

606
00:41:46,508 --> 00:41:51,983
We are sitting in silence and I'll roll down the window so it's not completely silent and
keep driving.

607
00:41:52,955 --> 00:41:55,737
you leave the city behind, it's long ago.

608
00:41:55,737 --> 00:42:00,140
The road gets, for lack of a better term, mean on the truck.

609
00:42:00,140 --> 00:42:03,122
It's bouncy, you've pulled off of the main highway.

610
00:42:03,122 --> 00:42:10,007
ah Your guess is that this place would be pretty dangerous if the weather was poor and
rainy.

611
00:42:10,968 --> 00:42:18,213
And you keep going down this dirt road with a bunch of potholes.

612
00:42:19,143 --> 00:42:26,566
And then you see it looks like a bad secret that somebody forgot to bury a cabin.

613
00:42:26,726 --> 00:42:32,588
It's kind of sad and little one story high box made of wood.

614
00:42:32,728 --> 00:42:34,309
It's trying to.

615
00:42:35,849 --> 00:42:39,551
It's trying its best to show you that it's a real home.

616
00:42:39,551 --> 00:42:43,852
um Your guess is the outside wood is faux.

617
00:42:43,852 --> 00:42:46,993
It's not even real logs.

618
00:42:47,014 --> 00:42:48,274
It looks cheap.

619
00:42:48,274 --> 00:42:49,935
and looks lonely.

620
00:42:49,935 --> 00:42:55,416
There's a big stone chimney that juts out of the roof.

621
00:42:55,476 --> 00:42:59,057
It's cold and dead against the gray sky.

622
00:42:59,077 --> 00:43:06,369
And there are power lines that snake themselves through the trees and come into the cabin.

623
00:43:06,369 --> 00:43:09,960
Looks like this has power at least, or did at one point.

624
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:15,908
um And you pull up, what do you do?

625
00:43:16,549 --> 00:43:16,889
Sure.

626
00:43:16,889 --> 00:43:21,025
Did we pass any oh neighbors on the way through and up?

627
00:43:21,025 --> 00:43:26,368
Is there anybody within, you know, even a mile or two or even three ish?

628
00:43:26,368 --> 00:43:28,731
Your guess is absolutely not, so.

629
00:43:28,731 --> 00:43:29,621
Okay, great.

630
00:43:29,621 --> 00:43:38,494
Yeah, think popping out, would aim the truck to kind of blast and bathe the entire house
in light.

631
00:43:38,494 --> 00:43:45,436
And I'm going to turn on, if there's fog lights or anything like that, I'm going to assume
this probably doesn't have power unless proven otherwise.

632
00:43:45,436 --> 00:43:49,907
So I'm going to try and light the place up to maybe make our search a little bit easier
with no neighbors around.

633
00:43:49,907 --> 00:43:56,269
You I don't think we have to worry about being inconspicuous and pop out of the car and...

634
00:43:56,717 --> 00:43:57,836
start heading towards the cabin.

635
00:43:57,836 --> 00:43:59,746
Hey, you got that key?

636
00:44:00,557 --> 00:44:04,817
Yeah, and I toss it underhand to you.

637
00:44:05,397 --> 00:44:07,317
And yeah, you go check the door.

638
00:44:07,317 --> 00:44:11,277
I'll do a little loop around the cabin and see if I can see anything.

639
00:44:11,716 --> 00:44:12,400
yeah, sounds good.

640
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:13,457
Watch out for bears.

641
00:44:13,457 --> 00:44:15,541
pull out my axe just in case.

642
00:44:15,723 --> 00:44:19,031
I was not thinking about bears until this very moment.

643
00:44:19,150 --> 00:44:19,567
Yeah.

644
00:44:19,567 --> 00:44:22,118
Yeah man, they're man eaters out here for sure.

645
00:44:22,928 --> 00:44:30,143
Go ahead and roll me a search um as you're looking around the cabin.

646
00:44:30,143 --> 00:44:32,308
This is for Emmett, sorry.

647
00:44:32,308 --> 00:44:33,791
Alright, got my search at 40.

648
00:44:33,791 --> 00:44:36,853
That's a four.

649
00:44:36,853 --> 00:44:38,056
I'm rolling hot.

650
00:44:38,056 --> 00:44:41,708
Yeah, you are casing it.

651
00:44:41,968 --> 00:44:47,211
Maybe you've cased some arson joints before.

652
00:44:47,211 --> 00:44:48,452
You know what to look for.

653
00:44:48,452 --> 00:44:57,717
You see a shed further back on by the tree line that looks pretty big and newer built, not
as old as the cabin.

654
00:44:57,717 --> 00:45:06,351
You also see a outhouse right behind it, not the shed, but right behind the cabin and...

655
00:45:06,351 --> 00:45:14,692
As you're walking around close to it, you also notice that any plumbing coming out has
been hacksawed off.

656
00:45:14,692 --> 00:45:16,933
out of the house or out of the outhouse?

657
00:45:18,035 --> 00:45:19,294
Out of the house.

658
00:45:20,056 --> 00:45:22,118
Huh.

659
00:45:22,118 --> 00:45:25,480
And yeah, I think that's a little odd.

660
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:30,444
um And I'll go and check like, hey, can I tell if this is recent?

661
00:45:30,444 --> 00:45:35,908
I don't know why someone would want to remove indoor plumbing from place instead of having
it back on.

662
00:45:36,035 --> 00:45:37,761
Hit that forensics again.

663
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,640
Alright, forensics, something good at.

664
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,980
We got 60 % here.

665
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,300
Looking at a 48.

666
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,715
That's a success.

667
00:45:47,715 --> 00:45:52,477
it and it looks like it's been months, maybe a year.

668
00:45:53,318 --> 00:45:59,682
There's no PVC, um there's no, yeah, shavings around.

669
00:45:59,682 --> 00:46:02,475
It looks like it's been hacked off for some time.

670
00:46:02,475 --> 00:46:13,864
um Yeah, I will try to follow the line of like where it would have gone, see, or if it
just like goes right into the ground and out of sight out of mind.

671
00:46:13,864 --> 00:46:23,531
um But I'll then check out the outhouse see if that's probably been used more recently
than anything inside.

672
00:46:24,063 --> 00:46:36,518
Yeah, so in this instance, as you're looking at the outhouse, go ahead and give me a
intelligence times five role just to see what you can glean from it since there's no

673
00:46:37,359 --> 00:46:39,700
shitter in the back of the cabin skill.

674
00:46:39,931 --> 00:46:44,631
I think we need to talk to the Delta Green creators then about adding that in.

675
00:46:44,851 --> 00:46:50,671
Let's see here, Intelligence 10, that would be a 50, and I got a 25.

676
00:46:51,451 --> 00:46:52,891
That's another success.

677
00:46:53,140 --> 00:47:05,300
you look in there and I think the big thing is like the plumbing that you saw coming out
of the house being a firefighter, you know that that is drain plumbing.

678
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:11,560
So why is there an outhouse with something that is plumbed for a septic tank?

679
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:17,451
And it just kind of is curious to you, but we'll hold that thought and cut over to Brun
going into the cabin.

680
00:47:17,451 --> 00:47:18,754
You just unlock it and go in.

681
00:47:18,754 --> 00:47:19,777
Go ahead, sir.

682
00:47:20,046 --> 00:47:32,371
yeah, I think well, ish like there's a time to be a little more aware and that's before
you know something is safe and in Delta green, I assume nothing is safe, Nick.

683
00:47:32,371 --> 00:47:39,413
So let's let's go ahead and do a little peek through the windows first on our way to the
lock.

684
00:47:39,925 --> 00:47:42,747
Yeah, you go around and look inside.

685
00:47:42,747 --> 00:47:45,269
It looks like a very simple cabin.

686
00:47:45,269 --> 00:47:48,391
Doesn't look lived in as much as his apartment did.

687
00:47:48,391 --> 00:47:53,254
um But there's no monster in there.

688
00:47:53,254 --> 00:47:55,315
There's no shadows moving.

689
00:47:55,676 --> 00:47:57,637
It looks fairly safe.

690
00:47:58,327 --> 00:47:59,698
No monster yet.

691
00:47:59,698 --> 00:48:07,823
ah Yeah, and I assume there were no like tracks leading up that seemed, you know, a lot
newer um than ours by any means.

692
00:48:07,824 --> 00:48:09,011
Well, not newer than ours.

693
00:48:09,011 --> 00:48:09,605
That'd be crazy.

694
00:48:09,605 --> 00:48:18,860
Yeah, um with the other forensic role, Emmet would have been able to tell that it looks
like no one's been here in a while.

695
00:48:19,322 --> 00:48:19,864
Got it.

696
00:48:19,864 --> 00:48:21,690
Cool, cool, Yeah, sweet.

697
00:48:21,690 --> 00:48:25,932
Let's go ahead and slide that key in um and make our way inside.

698
00:48:26,186 --> 00:48:28,867
Yeah, you get inside cozy, right?

699
00:48:29,228 --> 00:48:33,170
Smells of pine and wood smoke.

700
00:48:33,510 --> 00:48:37,212
But that's an illusion because this isn't that place.

701
00:48:37,993 --> 00:48:43,355
You get in there, the door groans open and the silence is thick in there.

702
00:48:43,355 --> 00:48:50,697
You could choke on it if you could choke on silence and the air stale layered with dust
and ghosts of cold nights.

703
00:48:50,697 --> 00:48:55,479
This uh is a depression cabin, not a glamping cabin.

704
00:48:55,479 --> 00:49:01,101
m There are cobwebs that hang in the corners like forgotten Christmas tinsel.

705
00:49:01,101 --> 00:49:07,123
And the whole thing is furnished from garage sale rejects, probably stuff you found free
on the side of the road.

706
00:49:07,123 --> 00:49:08,163
um

707
00:49:08,163 --> 00:49:15,251
It is beaten down and it's just a living room and a small kitchen and then you see a door
to a bedroom.

708
00:49:15,251 --> 00:49:19,055
All parts of a home, but it doesn't add up to one.

709
00:49:19,676 --> 00:49:27,824
And it's got a rustic decor that city people might think is charming, but it looks cheap
and sad to you.

710
00:49:27,836 --> 00:49:34,109
damn Clyde you could have taken care of your things at least a little bit here goes
nothing and i'll try to turn the lights on

711
00:49:34,109 --> 00:49:36,901
Yeah, go ahead and give me another luck roll.

712
00:49:37,011 --> 00:49:37,718
67.

713
00:49:37,718 --> 00:49:39,165
We'll get a roll sometime.

714
00:49:39,165 --> 00:49:40,299
We'll get a roll sometime.

715
00:49:40,299 --> 00:49:41,796
That is a healthy failure.

716
00:49:41,796 --> 00:49:45,641
the flicker for a second and then just go right off.

717
00:49:45,641 --> 00:49:47,823
Looks like you're using your flashlight.

718
00:49:48,272 --> 00:49:49,193
Yeah, sounds good.

719
00:49:49,193 --> 00:49:53,716
And I will do exactly that with light pouring through the windows.

720
00:49:53,716 --> 00:49:58,539
I'll try to open up the curtains a little bit to try and let some of that light in.

721
00:49:58,539 --> 00:50:01,040
But yeah, we're using our flashlight here.

722
00:50:01,041 --> 00:50:06,662
Turn that sucker on and let's just start square by square from exactly where I'm standing.

723
00:50:06,662 --> 00:50:11,367
look around and it's, there's nothing in this common room.

724
00:50:11,367 --> 00:50:17,393
um It looks a little strange to be this empty, like he didn't frequent it.

725
00:50:17,393 --> 00:50:20,776
Why would he have this place if he's not gonna really live in it?

726
00:50:20,776 --> 00:50:26,682
um But yeah, you're walking around, you get to the kitchenette, I'm assuming.

727
00:50:26,682 --> 00:50:29,223
And again, there is...

728
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:34,701
Dust-filled cabinets, everything is clean except for the dust on it.

729
00:50:34,701 --> 00:50:36,543
There's no rotten food or anything.

730
00:50:36,543 --> 00:50:38,124
The fridge is completely empty.

731
00:50:38,124 --> 00:50:44,010
um It's been a long time and you could get that sense by the fireplace too.

732
00:50:44,010 --> 00:50:46,852
You would think that you would smell remnants of a fire.

733
00:50:46,852 --> 00:50:54,920
uh You can if you stick your head right in it, but there's just nothing coming out of
there except for that stale air.

734
00:50:55,823 --> 00:50:59,575
Yeah, she thinks about it and she's like, yeah, I keep my head out of that one.

735
00:50:59,575 --> 00:51:01,260
Let's head over to the bedroom.

736
00:51:01,260 --> 00:51:04,401
Yeah, as you get to the door, we will cut back to Emmett.

737
00:51:04,401 --> 00:51:18,246
Emmett, you are outside and looking at this outhouse perplexed as to why he would have an
outhouse with a place plumbed for a septic tank, plumbing that has been cut.

738
00:51:18,367 --> 00:51:22,139
And you said you were trying to find where those pipes lead.

739
00:51:22,139 --> 00:51:26,115
Yes, I was just trying to follow the, yeah.

740
00:51:26,844 --> 00:51:30,175
Yeah, you walk toward that shed, right?

741
00:51:30,175 --> 00:51:33,736
The one that looks newer than everything else.

742
00:51:33,816 --> 00:51:41,719
And you start to feel as you're walking the ground divot down, and it looks like it's been
dug out.

743
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:50,782
And you see a round em trap door of some sorts with a chain.

744
00:51:51,355 --> 00:52:00,388
tight between two metal hoops that looked like they were welded onto it and a massive
padlock.

745
00:52:00,388 --> 00:52:02,148
Take a look at that.

746
00:52:02,148 --> 00:52:08,608
And so this is like right by the shed or is just kind of in between the shed and the house
and the cabin.

747
00:52:09,248 --> 00:52:21,488
And yeah, yeah, looking down at that, just thinking to myself, usually the septic tank
isn't locked tight like this.

748
00:52:21,588 --> 00:52:27,319
Does it look like it would be a septic tank or like maybe it's been repurposed for
something else?

749
00:52:27,319 --> 00:52:29,085
It looks like a septic tank hatch.

750
00:52:29,085 --> 00:52:30,269
Usually they're buried.

751
00:52:30,269 --> 00:52:32,756
Why is this one dug up and why is there a lock on it?

752
00:52:32,756 --> 00:52:33,097
Right?

753
00:52:33,097 --> 00:52:34,982
That's what's coming up.

754
00:52:35,866 --> 00:52:37,586
I do take note of that.

755
00:52:37,586 --> 00:52:47,906
know that Barone has the keys currently and padlock probably looks like the one that was
on the key that was on the key ring from before.

756
00:52:47,906 --> 00:52:50,926
I was kind of expecting that to be on the cabin.

757
00:52:51,666 --> 00:52:54,066
you know, I'm not going to force my way in just yet.

758
00:52:54,066 --> 00:53:00,306
I'll meet up with Barone, but before I make my way back to the cabin, I do want to take a
look at the shed.

759
00:53:00,686 --> 00:53:05,086
Hoping that that one's unlocked if there's no, if the padlock's already been accounted
for.

760
00:53:05,175 --> 00:53:09,979
you get into the shed and before you open it, you smell gasoline.

761
00:53:09,979 --> 00:53:11,600
Like this is your bread and butter.

762
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,401
It smells delicious to you.

763
00:53:13,401 --> 00:53:15,983
It's like making your mouth water in fact.

764
00:53:15,983 --> 00:53:23,207
And you open the shed and there are brand, look, they look brand new.

765
00:53:23,868 --> 00:53:26,029
Gas cans just lined up.

766
00:53:26,931 --> 00:53:27,630
That's it.

767
00:53:27,630 --> 00:53:38,913
Yeah, it's like those two stink lines, you know, come and pull my nose and I'm almost
floating my way towards the shed, you know, compelled and pulled in there.

768
00:53:38,913 --> 00:53:49,006
And, yeah, as I swing the door open, I see these gas cans and, ah you know, I feel like
I'm in heaven.

769
00:53:49,006 --> 00:53:57,298
just start, you know, taking the cans down, you know, creating a little pile by the door
to bring back to the pickup truck.

770
00:53:57,434 --> 00:54:05,193
you know, as I'm kind of pulling things off the wall and off the shelves, seeing if
there's literally anything else in here, is it just all gas?

771
00:54:05,284 --> 00:54:09,492
There is a rake, there are a few yard tools, but nothing of note.

772
00:54:09,492 --> 00:54:10,412
interesting.

773
00:54:11,192 --> 00:54:17,343
So yeah, I'll just take two jerry cans and make my way back towards the cabin.

774
00:54:17,343 --> 00:54:19,343
Yeah, is there like gas spilled all over?

775
00:54:19,343 --> 00:54:30,680
Did it look like someone was maybe trying to clean up or, you know, destroy any traces or
it's just neatly packed up and okay.

776
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:39,934
Yeah, you're looking at um almost an OCD level of organization of these gas cans when you
encounter them.

777
00:54:39,934 --> 00:54:42,908
And your estimation is there's, yeah, exactly.

778
00:54:42,908 --> 00:54:47,094
There's about 20 gallons or so um that you're picking through.

779
00:54:47,094 --> 00:54:57,754
Right, yeah, I'll take a couple of jerry cans back towards the entrance to the cabin,
knowing we may actually have to cover our own tracks after this.

780
00:54:57,954 --> 00:55:03,754
And I pop in and say, know, Barone, do you see anything in there?

781
00:55:03,754 --> 00:55:10,862
We've got something quite interesting out back, but, you know, let's see if you can find
anything here first before we move on.

782
00:55:11,115 --> 00:55:17,533
Barone, you get into the bedroom and again, it's not very lived in.

783
00:55:17,533 --> 00:55:23,750
The bed is made and what are you looking for as you go in there?

784
00:55:24,278 --> 00:55:24,529
Sure.

785
00:55:24,529 --> 00:55:27,346
Yeah, nothing in there, fire guy.

786
00:55:27,346 --> 00:55:28,871
Maybe something over here.

787
00:55:28,871 --> 00:55:30,234
Hold on one sec.

788
00:55:30,234 --> 00:55:33,212
What am I looking for over here?

789
00:55:33,212 --> 00:55:36,047
Well, I think any...

790
00:55:36,048 --> 00:55:39,135
Now, knowing this guy is decidedly tidy.

791
00:55:39,135 --> 00:55:43,999
ah Let's see, things that people would not want to be found.

792
00:55:43,999 --> 00:55:46,071
uh What exactly that is?

793
00:55:46,071 --> 00:55:53,357
Maybe documents, uh stored data of some capacity, which back then, who knows what that
would be?

794
00:55:53,357 --> 00:55:54,518
It's not hard drives.

795
00:55:54,518 --> 00:55:55,689
Well, maybe it is hard drives.

796
00:55:55,689 --> 00:56:02,564
ah Looking for anything that would, you know, uh collate information in one way or
another.

797
00:56:02,610 --> 00:56:05,922
Great, so you're just generally searching the room.

798
00:56:05,922 --> 00:56:07,365
What's your search again?

799
00:56:07,932 --> 00:56:09,851
My search is pretty ding-dang good.

800
00:56:09,851 --> 00:56:11,292
It is at 50.

801
00:56:11,292 --> 00:56:13,173
Yeah, no need to roll.

802
00:56:13,614 --> 00:56:22,431
Since you have a little bit of time, you look around and under the bed, you see a long and
heavy foot locker.

803
00:56:22,431 --> 00:56:25,615
And you can tell that it has a padlock on it.

804
00:56:25,615 --> 00:56:26,807
Okay, great.

805
00:56:26,807 --> 00:56:30,062
uh Knowing keys going locks, let's go ahead and test it.

806
00:56:30,062 --> 00:56:30,913
Why not?

807
00:56:30,991 --> 00:56:34,015
Yeah, it's under the bed, so you're have to rip it out of there.

808
00:56:34,015 --> 00:56:34,895
Yeah.

809
00:56:36,278 --> 00:56:42,315
Yeah, you scooch it out, makes a big screeching sound throughout the cabin.

810
00:56:42,315 --> 00:56:43,606
Emmett, you hear that.

811
00:56:43,606 --> 00:56:45,049
I'm assuming, are you coming in?

812
00:56:45,049 --> 00:56:46,990
Are you staying outside with the gas?

813
00:56:48,270 --> 00:56:49,430
coming in.

814
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:51,170
Help search.

815
00:56:51,451 --> 00:56:51,959
Okay.

816
00:56:51,959 --> 00:56:58,278
I mean, think Big Girl here can deadlift this up with no problem whatsoever, but I guess
I'll use a hand if it's here.

817
00:56:58,278 --> 00:56:58,961
Yeah.

818
00:56:58,961 --> 00:57:03,879
Mostly just supervising you, seeing what you're capable of.

819
00:57:05,676 --> 00:57:08,518
you're able to get it out.

820
00:57:08,518 --> 00:57:15,654
um you try and the keys on the deadlock or the deadbolt thing.

821
00:57:15,654 --> 00:57:16,897
Yeah, yep, sure.

822
00:57:16,897 --> 00:57:17,368
Might as well.

823
00:57:17,368 --> 00:57:18,931
We have, we have two keys.

824
00:57:18,931 --> 00:57:19,536
Let's do it.

825
00:57:19,536 --> 00:57:27,501
Yeah, it flips open the padlock and you undo the heavy latch, you just open it right up.

826
00:57:28,002 --> 00:57:29,785
Mm hmm.

827
00:57:29,785 --> 00:57:36,204
Well, the way you say that, Nick, I opened it up very carefully.

828
00:57:36,265 --> 00:57:37,467
The carefulest.

829
00:57:37,467 --> 00:57:38,037
Yeah, great.

830
00:57:38,037 --> 00:57:38,348
Awesome.

831
00:57:38,348 --> 00:57:39,290
No, yes.

832
00:57:39,290 --> 00:57:40,511
I want to see what's inside.

833
00:57:40,511 --> 00:57:41,233
Let's go.

834
00:57:41,233 --> 00:57:50,348
Yeah, you flip it open and the first thing you notice is there is a cut piece of paper
taped to the lid just saying,

835
00:57:50,348 --> 00:58:01,336
To whom it may concern, if you're reading this uh note, there you go, that's word, I can
assume I have died or become incapacitated before I had the courage to complete my final

836
00:58:01,336 --> 00:58:01,896
mission.

837
00:58:01,896 --> 00:58:03,758
That's ominous as shit.

838
00:58:03,758 --> 00:58:07,650
You will find about 20 gallons of gas in the shed behind this cabin.

839
00:58:07,650 --> 00:58:10,042
And I turned around and look at fire guy.

840
00:58:10,957 --> 00:58:16,022
holding two dairy cans like I think I think we got it

841
00:58:16,088 --> 00:58:18,230
Alright, check in that one.

842
00:58:18,230 --> 00:58:21,884
Pour it into the septic tank beside the cabin and ignite it.

843
00:58:21,884 --> 00:58:23,856
You'd be happier if you didn't look inside.

844
00:58:23,856 --> 00:58:26,908
Please make sure that the remains are kept from my children.

845
00:58:27,029 --> 00:58:28,510
I am so sorry.

846
00:58:28,510 --> 00:58:30,311
God, please forgive me.

847
00:58:31,193 --> 00:58:31,553
Hmm.

848
00:58:31,553 --> 00:58:35,927
Oh, that is more questions than answers.

849
00:58:35,927 --> 00:58:38,009
Is there a septic tank out?

850
00:58:38,009 --> 00:58:40,982
What's, what, what, what's, what's he talking about?

851
00:58:41,671 --> 00:58:44,132
Yeah, that's kind of what I want to talk to you about.

852
00:58:44,132 --> 00:58:53,978
We got septic tank, we've got some cut plumbing, so I don't think the septic tank is full
of waste.

853
00:58:53,978 --> 00:58:55,898
I think it's full of something else.

854
00:58:56,199 --> 00:59:01,021
And Clyde here is just giving us free rain to start some fires.

855
00:59:02,763 --> 00:59:04,063
I am quite curious.

856
00:59:04,063 --> 00:59:11,227
I do want to peek my head inside, but I think we should carry out his final wishes in his
honor.

857
00:59:11,551 --> 00:59:21,586
know 100 % yeah for sure I hate being told what to do and if somebody says don't think of
the pink elephant the first thing I do is think of the pink elephant I can tell you

858
00:59:21,586 --> 00:59:34,834
curiosity is gonna kill this cat someday for sure let's go check it out hold on let me let
me finish up uh this this chest though and I'll fold it up and I guess I'll leave it in

859
00:59:34,834 --> 00:59:37,345
the chest I don't really want to keep this note

860
00:59:37,500 --> 00:59:49,000
Yeah, you look in down below, you see a just covering other things, a big reel to reel
tape.

861
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:56,920
It's a recording of something on it is labeled 15, OGG 72 to 29, SEP 72.

862
00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:00,400
So it looks like some sort of recording.

863
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:06,291
then handwritten on a white note is Saint Yig scale, the Redeemer.

864
01:00:06,291 --> 01:00:07,171
Hmm.

865
01:00:07,833 --> 01:00:12,317
You think that was Clyde's nickname back in the day?

866
01:00:13,039 --> 01:00:13,467
Same.

867
01:00:13,467 --> 01:00:14,188
that...

868
01:00:14,188 --> 01:00:17,237
that goes hard as fuck man, yeah for sure, that'd be wild.

869
01:00:17,237 --> 01:00:28,637
Okay, so you see a cardboard box and um you open it up and there is a neatly folded suit
that is covered in old, old dried blood.

870
01:00:28,637 --> 01:00:34,181
um Below that you see a...

871
01:00:34,281 --> 01:00:42,685
annotated doctor, doctoral dissertation that's titled Sky Devils archetypical figures in
Native American mythology.

872
01:00:42,685 --> 01:00:49,129
uh Looks like it was rejected on first glance um based on the notes on the cover page.

873
01:00:49,129 --> 01:00:56,653
um There are three tear gas grenades in there as well.

874
01:00:56,653 --> 01:01:02,860
m There's a knife that is iron, looks old.

875
01:01:02,860 --> 01:01:07,804
It would take some investigation to figure out how old or what the meaning of it is.

876
01:01:09,086 --> 01:01:11,098
And then there's a, go ahead, sorry.

877
01:01:11,098 --> 01:01:17,524
There's a leather pouch and when you open it up, there's some black hair in there.

878
01:01:17,524 --> 01:01:22,960
There's small teeth that look human and some feathers.

879
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,234
What the actual fuck?

880
01:01:25,234 --> 01:01:28,959
I mean, this is going in the fire pit for sure, right?

881
01:01:28,959 --> 01:01:36,283
And I hold up the jacket and everything and yeah, I, okay, great.

882
01:01:36,283 --> 01:01:39,677
starting like a burn pile and not burn pile over there.

883
01:01:39,824 --> 01:01:45,054
Yeah, I could tell you something that we're not burning and I grabbed those three gas
grenades and I'm like with these guys for sure.

884
01:01:45,054 --> 01:01:53,381
I mean, I'll take the handle of it and like hanging off off the back of my belt or
something for storage.

885
01:01:53,381 --> 01:01:56,583
But this is all burning all hell for sure.

886
01:01:56,583 --> 01:02:06,158
um The dissertation, I assume this is like a healthy many hours read like the whole second
half of Dune type.

887
01:02:06,158 --> 01:02:07,129
Okay.

888
01:02:07,129 --> 01:02:09,470
um

889
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:13,225
Quickly flipping through that, do we see any illustrations?

890
01:02:13,225 --> 01:02:17,530
Do we see any pictures, photographs?

891
01:02:18,693 --> 01:02:22,777
Anything of proof that he's trying to prove?

892
01:02:22,818 --> 01:02:24,068
For lack of a better term.

893
01:02:24,068 --> 01:02:27,043
go ahead and do you have any occult?

894
01:02:27,043 --> 01:02:27,407
up.

895
01:02:27,407 --> 01:02:30,680
I, yes, I have 20 % in a cult.

896
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,052
Yeah, give it a roll.

897
01:02:33,965 --> 01:02:37,305
That would be an 85L

898
01:02:37,305 --> 01:02:40,827
with some time you think you could probably get through this.

899
01:02:40,928 --> 01:02:43,730
Maybe it's something you keep for yourself.

900
01:02:43,730 --> 01:02:46,832
You don't turn in and you give it a read if you're interested in it.

901
01:02:46,832 --> 01:02:53,487
um As you've started flipping through it though, ah you realize that it wasn't all the
dissertation.

902
01:02:53,487 --> 01:03:02,324
Behind it is a sizable stack of paper that looks like financial um records.

903
01:03:02,324 --> 01:03:02,864
uh

904
01:03:02,864 --> 01:03:10,402
And it's just financial record after record and there's annotations and lines being drawn
from transactions to different group names.

905
01:03:10,402 --> 01:03:12,778
um Yeah.

906
01:03:12,778 --> 01:03:15,042
I can't make heads or tails of that.

907
01:03:15,042 --> 01:03:17,848
That's just over Emmet's head.

908
01:03:17,848 --> 01:03:19,441
Now this boring stuff.

909
01:03:19,441 --> 01:03:22,617
You want to add this to the uh burn pile?

910
01:03:23,119 --> 01:03:24,067
Burn?

911
01:03:24,067 --> 01:03:25,767
maybe let me take a quick look.

912
01:03:25,767 --> 01:03:29,507
I assume this would be a bureaucracy roll to see any, okay.

913
01:03:29,507 --> 01:03:30,687
I'm definitely gonna do that.

914
01:03:30,687 --> 01:03:36,147
I have a 40 and bureaucracy as we know, and I got a 13, so it did pretty good.

915
01:03:36,634 --> 01:03:42,947
Yeah, you see that this is something called the Vintaja Corporation.

916
01:03:42,947 --> 01:03:55,722
It looks like they're an Argentinian company and it looks like import-export transactions
with a thing that's dubbed K Group.

917
01:03:55,882 --> 01:04:05,073
And as you're looking through it, this K Group looks like there's some World War II era
financial em

918
01:04:05,073 --> 01:04:09,256
It's hard to say, they're financially related to it.

919
01:04:09,256 --> 01:04:20,735
Like maybe they moved money, maybe they were investing money, but this group was
definitely on some sort of watch list and it looks like he was surveilling them.

920
01:04:21,136 --> 01:04:30,704
And there's a paper that says the schkiel formula on it and it is completely blacked out
with Sharpie.

921
01:04:30,704 --> 01:04:32,926
Like it's empty.

922
01:04:32,926 --> 01:04:33,662
It was.

923
01:04:33,662 --> 01:04:35,506
um completely redacted.

924
01:04:35,506 --> 01:04:39,311
Have you ever heard of the the SKEEL formula before?

925
01:04:40,030 --> 01:04:43,474
That's how you add up your taxes, right?

926
01:04:43,474 --> 01:04:44,035
I don't know.

927
01:04:44,035 --> 01:04:47,189
I don't handle this kind of stuff, but.

928
01:04:47,189 --> 01:04:49,894
math is really a foreign subject for you as well, huh?

929
01:04:49,894 --> 01:04:52,191
Yeah, we, you we got people for that.

930
01:04:52,191 --> 01:04:58,185
I got my CPA and he does, you know, my skills formulas and my numbers and.

931
01:05:01,559 --> 01:05:04,686
Let's have a contested rule to see if Barone falls asleep.

932
01:05:05,046 --> 01:05:06,306
Mm-hmm.

933
01:05:06,587 --> 01:05:09,448
Yeah, Z is just floating up in the air from her.

934
01:05:10,309 --> 01:05:14,822
Yeah, I I for some reason I don't think that's what it's for, but I've also never heard of
it.

935
01:05:14,822 --> 01:05:18,254
And apparently it's not something you could easily read about.

936
01:05:18,254 --> 01:05:24,528
And I flashed the paper with all the the black um across the front.

937
01:05:24,820 --> 01:05:33,908
Yeah, I don't think we're going to learn much from that piece of paper, but you know what
I am into is some good sci-fi movies, just like Dune.

938
01:05:33,908 --> 01:05:42,114
um And I look around for a projector anywhere in the cabin, see if we could get these
reels spun up.

939
01:05:43,100 --> 01:05:45,813
Yeah, there's no reel to reel machine here.

940
01:05:45,813 --> 01:05:52,101
This would take some, um we take it back and turn it in investigation type thing.

941
01:05:52,101 --> 01:05:55,326
So, or you can steal it and take it for yourself if you want to.

942
01:05:55,326 --> 01:05:57,127
Yeah, there's a question.

943
01:05:57,127 --> 01:06:10,023
um We really kind of didn't get, well, I guess we did get briefed on quote unquote
cleanup, but we didn't have any help or definition on what to take return, know, sift

944
01:06:10,023 --> 01:06:13,664
through for information or just get rid of.

945
01:06:13,664 --> 01:06:20,407
Is there any knee jerk like, hey, generally this might make sense to take versus not out
of this pile.

946
01:06:20,636 --> 01:06:27,231
Yeah, so you know that um your guess is they would want everything, right?

947
01:06:27,231 --> 01:06:31,864
You haven't been given instructions on um destroying things.

948
01:06:31,864 --> 01:06:36,687
So your guess is that they would take everything and destroy it for you if it needed to be
destroyed.

949
01:06:36,687 --> 01:06:43,823
So other than what um Clyde's note said, um he directly wants you to destroy something
obviously.

950
01:06:43,823 --> 01:06:44,814
Got you.

951
01:06:44,814 --> 01:06:45,234
Yeah.

952
01:06:45,234 --> 01:06:47,795
So second thought on that burn pile.

953
01:06:47,795 --> 01:06:58,280
Maybe we should put that on the back burner, if you will, and take this with us and I'll
pop everything back in the box and doing that fully thing with the top where you fold one

954
01:06:58,280 --> 01:06:59,581
and the next one all the way around.

955
01:06:59,581 --> 01:07:05,664
So it makes like it a cardboard anus in the top of the box for you.

956
01:07:05,664 --> 01:07:07,915
And I'll start start packing it up.

957
01:07:08,398 --> 01:07:11,626
Yeah, you pack it up or you throw it in the back of the pickup truck?

958
01:07:12,259 --> 01:07:21,620
Yeah, I think that's probably the best place and God knows that love me a good tarp if
there's a tarp or anything back there to cover it to make it inconspicuous.

959
01:07:21,620 --> 01:07:22,756
I would like to do that as well.

960
01:07:22,756 --> 01:07:30,866
Yeah, you noticed there was a tarp in the shed, so you're able to grab a tarp and throw it
over the um back of the truck.

961
01:07:30,866 --> 01:07:34,127
Yeah, I help Varone just load everything in the truck.

962
01:07:34,127 --> 01:07:39,127
um Yeah, nothing I really want to keep for myself here.

963
01:07:39,127 --> 01:07:45,992
I am quite interested in watching that reel to reel, but that's something for another
time.

964
01:07:46,132 --> 01:07:56,376
And after we're done loaded up, I lead Varone over to the septic tank patch and he's like,
well, uh this is it.

965
01:07:56,376 --> 01:07:59,378
This was his Clive's final dying wish.

966
01:07:59,378 --> 01:08:00,598
uh

967
01:08:00,670 --> 01:08:04,605
Said not to look inside, but I think we're both in agreement here.

968
01:08:04,605 --> 01:08:06,309
Gotta at least peek, right?

969
01:08:06,472 --> 01:08:16,301
100 % sons out guns out and she pulls out her pistol and she's like, I mean there's no son
but You have to say something right before right?

970
01:08:17,096 --> 01:08:19,468
Yeah, wait, why'd you pull your gun out?

971
01:08:19,468 --> 01:08:23,317
Are you expecting something alive still in there?

972
01:08:23,355 --> 01:08:24,637
I mean, I don't know.

973
01:08:24,637 --> 01:08:25,588
I've never really...

974
01:08:25,588 --> 01:08:26,559
don't know...

975
01:08:27,100 --> 01:08:29,203
I don't know what to expect, period.

976
01:08:29,203 --> 01:08:35,736
So I think just being prepared is probably the way to go, especially with something that
you don't fucking know, fire guy.

977
01:08:35,736 --> 01:08:37,926
Mm-hmm.

978
01:08:37,926 --> 01:08:42,615
I mean, do we open the hatch and you drop a gas grenade in just in case?

979
01:08:43,677 --> 01:08:45,710
that do we know if that's the tear gas?

980
01:08:45,710 --> 01:08:53,190
Is that like damaging to documents to anything or just something organic?

981
01:08:53,447 --> 01:08:59,488
Yeah, go ahead and roll your heavy or your demolition skill to see what you would know.

982
01:08:59,488 --> 01:09:03,940
That would be a 70 for Emmet here.

983
01:09:03,940 --> 01:09:05,320
And a 64.

984
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:07,122
Success.

985
01:09:07,122 --> 01:09:10,035
when they first are ignited, but then the rest is just gas.

986
01:09:10,035 --> 01:09:11,096
It can get a little warm.

987
01:09:11,096 --> 01:09:13,869
So if it's directly on a piece of paper, it would catch.

988
01:09:14,430 --> 01:09:18,544
The one thing you do notice investigating them is they're over 20 years old.

989
01:09:18,544 --> 01:09:25,640
So you're like, maybe they work, maybe they don't, but they wouldn't necessarily damage
anything.

990
01:09:26,388 --> 01:09:32,844
and also thinking that this is an old septic tank, there might be a good amount of
methane, even if it hasn't been used in a while.

991
01:09:32,844 --> 01:09:47,887
So maybe we just open it up and shine some lights down there first and then assess the
situation and yeah, take the keys from Verone and see if the same padlock key works on

992
01:09:47,887 --> 01:09:49,008
this one as well.

993
01:09:49,151 --> 01:09:50,138
does not.

994
01:09:50,906 --> 01:09:58,356
So uh back up plan, I take out my fire axe and try to chop at the chain.

995
01:09:58,356 --> 01:10:03,393
Yeah, usually when you're striking something you would use your melee weapon skill.

996
01:10:03,393 --> 01:10:04,755
So give me a roll.

997
01:10:04,755 --> 01:10:07,759
You're very strong, so you're going to eventually succeed.

998
01:10:07,759 --> 01:10:12,124
This is just to say how many times you hit it before you succeed.

999
01:10:12,176 --> 01:10:17,663
So have a melee weapon skill and I have a skill on the item itself.

1000
01:10:18,045 --> 01:10:19,357
I guess those are the same.

1001
01:10:19,357 --> 01:10:22,170
Okay, cool.

1002
01:10:22,592 --> 01:10:25,387
And I have an 80 with my axe.

1003
01:10:25,387 --> 01:10:26,922
That is a 69.

1004
01:10:26,922 --> 01:10:34,130
All right, you come down and you just split the lock right off the chain and you're able
to pull the chain off.

1005
01:10:34,130 --> 01:10:43,821
You hear the echo of an empty tin tube coming from up as you knock it off.

1006
01:10:43,821 --> 01:10:47,224
And then you hear a slight whimper.

1007
01:10:48,887 --> 01:10:57,391
Nope, and I jump back and also pull out my 1911 and look at Barone.

1008
01:10:57,391 --> 01:11:00,615
uh You heard that, right?

1009
01:11:00,797 --> 01:11:02,358
Or that wasn't you?

1010
01:11:03,177 --> 01:11:03,682
No.

1011
01:11:03,682 --> 01:11:05,092
I would I whimper like that?

1012
01:11:05,092 --> 01:11:06,993
No, definitely not.

1013
01:11:07,434 --> 01:11:13,037
I did hear that though when I uh cock my GP-100, like that's why this is out.

1014
01:11:13,438 --> 01:11:16,420
And I'll inch kind of forward a little bit.

1015
01:11:16,420 --> 01:11:19,241
So we're both equidistant from the tank.

1016
01:11:20,054 --> 01:11:23,400
Yeah, who's pulling it open?

1017
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:24,532
You Emmett or?

1018
01:11:24,532 --> 01:11:30,941
uh Actually, I go prone so I could have my head right next to the door and be able to
shine in.

1019
01:11:30,941 --> 01:11:35,848
was like, bro, can you get this and I'll get a draw on them.

1020
01:11:36,081 --> 01:11:37,183
Yeah, I got it, teamwork.

1021
01:11:37,183 --> 01:11:43,951
um And I will have pistol in one hand, the other hand is reaching to open it enough to see
in.

1022
01:11:44,702 --> 01:11:55,668
you start slipping it open, you have your flashlight on, I'm assuming, and you see just
darkness at first and then your flashlight cuts in.

1023
01:11:55,668 --> 01:11:59,230
looks like a underground crypt.

1024
01:11:59,230 --> 01:12:04,753
The floor has a skim of dark water on it.

1025
01:12:04,753 --> 01:12:06,463
There's no ladder or anything.

1026
01:12:06,463 --> 01:12:10,135
It looks pretty deep down there, about 10 feet down.

1027
01:12:10,316 --> 01:12:13,477
And as your flashlight

1028
01:12:13,477 --> 01:12:19,305
hits one of the far corners from you, you see a shape.

1029
01:12:19,627 --> 01:12:26,496
It's a woman laying down there nude in the corner and um her flesh.

1030
01:12:26,865 --> 01:12:31,488
looks pretty gray, maybe from lack of the sunlight.

1031
01:12:31,488 --> 01:12:34,550
There's not much meat left on her bones.

1032
01:12:34,550 --> 01:12:42,414
She's sagging all over and she looks up at the light and her eyes look straight towards
you.

1033
01:12:42,414 --> 01:12:53,392
She probably can't see you because the flashlight and she stands up and starts to, in a
hunched manner, walk toward the opening.

1034
01:12:53,392 --> 01:12:58,932
And I just start saying, ma'am, ma'am, please stay right where you are.

1035
01:12:58,932 --> 01:13:01,232
We need to assess the situation.

1036
01:13:01,252 --> 01:13:02,812
you okay?

1037
01:13:02,812 --> 01:13:03,952
Can you talk?

1038
01:13:04,185 --> 01:13:10,970
Yeah, she looks up and she croaks, like, clears her throat.

1039
01:13:10,970 --> 01:13:15,512
I, ah, please get me out of here.

1040
01:13:15,713 --> 01:13:16,404
Help me.

1041
01:13:16,404 --> 01:13:17,097
What is your name?

1042
01:13:17,097 --> 01:13:17,660
What is your name?

1043
01:13:17,660 --> 01:13:18,913
We're here to help.

1044
01:13:19,237 --> 01:13:21,075
We just want to make sure everyone's safe.

1045
01:13:21,075 --> 01:13:22,311
I'm Marlene.

1046
01:13:22,580 --> 01:13:23,689
Marlene's my name.

1047
01:13:23,689 --> 01:13:25,386
Get fucked, absolutely.

1048
01:13:25,386 --> 01:13:26,967
um Go ahead.

1049
01:13:26,967 --> 01:13:29,308
Oh, yeah.

1050
01:13:29,308 --> 01:13:35,595
With that quick realization, both of you roll your sanities and.

1051
01:13:35,595 --> 01:13:36,369
for sure.

1052
01:13:36,369 --> 01:13:45,913
So rolling your sanity is when an agent encounters something that is strange, unnatural,
extremely violent, or they feel helpless in.

1053
01:13:45,913 --> 01:13:59,578
This is both unnatural and helplessness, because you're looking at this like strange lady
uh naked in a septic tank and feels unnatural to you because the realization that Clyde's

1054
01:13:59,578 --> 01:14:03,139
wife had a death certificate in his apartment, right?

1055
01:14:03,139 --> 01:14:06,160
So losing sand is dangerous and

1056
01:14:06,534 --> 01:14:10,025
You can project it onto a bond if you want.

1057
01:14:10,025 --> 01:14:21,048
um That is a big part of the game is using your bonds and your most important
relationships to steal yourself to continue to do this job, right?

1058
01:14:21,048 --> 01:14:25,889
So you would roll your SAN, which you have a current sanity score that you wanna roll
under.

1059
01:14:25,889 --> 01:14:29,950
And when you lose SAN, that score goes down.

1060
01:14:29,950 --> 01:14:34,552
So the more and more insane you go, the quicker it happens.

1061
01:14:34,552 --> 01:14:36,070
It's a flywheel.

1062
01:14:36,070 --> 01:14:42,045
So keeping your sanity up at the beginning is important if you want your agent to live
longer, right?

1063
01:14:42,045 --> 01:14:47,769
That's why projecting is a good thing earlier, because it gives you life in this game.

1064
01:14:47,769 --> 01:14:54,754
um Now, let's say you roll your San and lose, and then I just tell you to roll a D8.

1065
01:14:54,754 --> 01:15:01,059
If you roll over a certain amount, but it's five in the rule book.

1066
01:15:01,059 --> 01:15:02,960
So if you lose more than

1067
01:15:03,068 --> 01:15:09,537
five sanity at once, you go temporarily insane and you choose a fight or flight response.

1068
01:15:10,399 --> 01:15:11,081
Make sense?

1069
01:15:11,081 --> 01:15:13,933
uh Yeah, the projecting.

1070
01:15:14,341 --> 01:15:16,064
How does that work?

1071
01:15:16,196 --> 01:15:17,126
question.

1072
01:15:17,126 --> 01:15:27,071
So you would roll your SAN and then if you were to fail you would roll whatever your
failure dice is.

1073
01:15:27,071 --> 01:15:37,235
That can be just a binary where it's zero or one so you lose one SAN or you lose no SAN or
you roll a D4, D6, D8 and on.

1074
01:15:37,235 --> 01:15:41,658
Some people even have a D20 of SAN loss for extreme circumstances.

1075
01:15:41,658 --> 01:15:42,306
Right?

1076
01:15:42,306 --> 01:15:43,318
So

1077
01:15:43,677 --> 01:15:48,670
you would say, oh, I wanna project before you roll that sand loss, right?

1078
01:15:48,991 --> 01:15:54,014
So you don't know how much sanity you're gonna lose before you project.

1079
01:15:54,205 --> 01:16:04,988
And projecting like story-wise, just means I lose a relationship with one of my bonds and
that would come back to bite me in the future.

1080
01:16:04,988 --> 01:16:19,916
So what we would do is you would roll a D4, which would say how much you reduce that SAN
loss by and how much willpower, another uh thing on your character sheet, you lose at the

1081
01:16:19,916 --> 01:16:21,417
same time, right?

1082
01:16:21,417 --> 01:16:28,792
And then you subtract the amount that D4 is from both your willpower and the bond you're
projecting.

1083
01:16:28,792 --> 01:16:29,596
So,

1084
01:16:29,596 --> 01:16:33,983
Give me that D100 San loss or not lost, excuse me.

1085
01:16:33,983 --> 01:16:37,379
Give me that D100 San roll and tell me if you fail.

1086
01:16:37,379 --> 01:16:39,985
D100 sand loss, is all or nothing right now.

1087
01:16:39,985 --> 01:16:45,096
uh I have a current sand of 15, I ruled a 34.

1088
01:16:45,096 --> 01:16:45,943
All right.

1089
01:16:46,875 --> 01:16:47,455
sweet.

1090
01:16:47,455 --> 01:16:49,635
Let's see how Baron does.

1091
01:16:49,675 --> 01:16:51,395
I got an 82.

1092
01:16:51,395 --> 01:16:52,575
I failed San.

1093
01:16:52,744 --> 01:16:57,816
Okay, so give me a D6 Sanloss, Barone.

1094
01:16:59,337 --> 01:17:01,790
I think I am gonna project.

1095
01:17:01,790 --> 01:17:02,931
Let's see how this goes.

1096
01:17:02,931 --> 01:17:12,378
um I'd like to project onto Bradley, uh my therapist that I trust with everything that has
definitely seen my dark side.

1097
01:17:12,659 --> 01:17:14,460
So let's start there.

1098
01:17:14,900 --> 01:17:16,211
And I got a three.

1099
01:17:16,248 --> 01:17:19,329
Okay, and then roll me a D4 for the projection.

1100
01:17:21,077 --> 01:17:23,301
And the D4 is also a 3.

1101
01:17:23,321 --> 01:17:29,717
Okay, so you take no sand loss, but you lose three willpower and you reduce that bond by
three.

1102
01:17:29,717 --> 01:17:34,961
Now, when you're projecting on a bond, there is some bitterness, some upset at them.

1103
01:17:34,961 --> 01:17:43,248
Like what, in this moment, what would you be thinking about your therapist to make you
sour the relationship a little bit?

1104
01:17:43,248 --> 01:17:45,870
Like how would you be feeling about them in this moment?

1105
01:17:46,581 --> 01:17:46,931
Yeah.

1106
01:17:46,931 --> 01:17:52,581
So I think, uh, therapists arm with help arm people with like coping mechanisms, right?

1107
01:17:52,581 --> 01:18:03,015
Um, and I think immediately I start leaning on one of those coping mechanisms for
something so, you know, crazy and disconnected or disconnecting like this.

1108
01:18:03,015 --> 01:18:05,978
And my coping mechanisms just fail immediately.

1109
01:18:05,978 --> 01:18:09,080
They're just a fucking straw man lit on fire.

1110
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:15,005
And I think my frustration with the time spent in these sessions just burns right up with
it.

1111
01:18:15,022 --> 01:18:16,243
Yeah, absolutely.

1112
01:18:16,243 --> 01:18:17,535
It is frustrating.

1113
01:18:17,535 --> 01:18:25,012
You've gone to therapy for a few years, spent how much money you don't even know, and it
can't even get you through this moment.

1114
01:18:25,012 --> 01:18:32,981
m But you still take no sand loss and you see the sting below you asking you to help it.

1115
01:18:32,981 --> 01:18:34,273
How do you respond?

1116
01:18:34,273 --> 01:18:37,216
My firefighter training kicks in.

1117
01:18:37,216 --> 01:18:41,959
I've rescued people from burning buildings before, people in distress.

1118
01:18:42,701 --> 01:18:49,526
seeing that this is just a frail old woman, we know who she is, even though we've never
met her before.

1119
01:18:50,067 --> 01:18:56,352
I tell her to make her way to the hatch, make her way, we'll lift you out.

1120
01:18:56,352 --> 01:18:59,505
Jerome, can you grab a blanket?

1121
01:18:59,505 --> 01:19:02,197
Was there any bedding or clothing inside?

1122
01:19:02,567 --> 01:19:06,339
We gotta warm her up and make sure she's okay.

1123
01:19:07,593 --> 01:19:19,182
Yeah, sure take this and I'll just take my jacket off and kind of Toss it over to him did
well I wouldn't know if there was a ladder out in the garage, but I guess I would think

1124
01:19:19,182 --> 01:19:24,627
that shed is that shade close Great, I'm going to when I toss my jacket.

1125
01:19:24,627 --> 01:19:27,999
I think I'm gonna sprint to that shed looking for a ladder

1126
01:19:28,007 --> 01:19:37,097
You get in there and there is a, looks like a septic tank type ladder that has been
customly welded.

1127
01:19:37,097 --> 01:19:40,581
Looks like somebody was using it for this purpose.

1128
01:19:40,581 --> 01:19:42,082
You're bringing it over.

1129
01:19:42,649 --> 01:19:47,187
Yeah, I think I'll grab that and, you know, start making my way back pretty hastily.

1130
01:19:47,187 --> 01:19:47,840
m

1131
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:52,811
About how deep is the septic tank, you know, from the standing water on the floor to the
hatch.

1132
01:19:52,811 --> 01:19:53,393
10 feet.

1133
01:19:53,393 --> 01:20:00,453
Yeah, I'm like, they're trying to like reach down and, you know, stay, stay on top and see
if she could reach, but can't quite make it.

1134
01:20:00,453 --> 01:20:03,488
And yeah, as you come back to the ladders, you know, perfect, perfect.

1135
01:20:03,488 --> 01:20:07,245
And I roll out of the way and let you shimmy the ladder down there.

1136
01:20:07,245 --> 01:20:16,053
yeah, as she gets close to you, um any other thing you're trying to, are you looking at
her in any special way or saying anything to her?

1137
01:20:16,053 --> 01:20:20,627
m And she is hunched over looking up at you.

1138
01:20:20,627 --> 01:20:25,220
It looks like she hasn't used a lot of her limbs in a long time.

1139
01:20:25,341 --> 01:20:32,547
She is quite emaciated, probably couldn't jump, but she looks up at you and is just wide
eyed.

1140
01:20:32,547 --> 01:20:33,811
um

1141
01:20:33,811 --> 01:20:40,896
um I'm just, I'm there like reassuring her as like, we're, here to help.

1142
01:20:40,896 --> 01:20:41,806
We'll get you out of there.

1143
01:20:41,806 --> 01:20:55,916
But I'm also trying to see if she has like restraint marks on her wrists or anything, if
there's anything more off or about her body than, you know, just being kind of curled up

1144
01:20:55,916 --> 01:20:58,467
in the darkness for who knows how long.

1145
01:20:58,652 --> 01:21:09,906
Yeah, give me a search since you're under duress and she's under duress to see if you can
um glean any details.

1146
01:21:09,906 --> 01:21:11,657
That would be a 40.

1147
01:21:11,657 --> 01:21:12,880
Roll to four.

1148
01:21:14,490 --> 01:21:15,093
Success.

1149
01:21:15,093 --> 01:21:20,845
Yeah, you are looking around and you see scratch marks on the walls of this thing.

1150
01:21:20,966 --> 01:21:22,316
You look at her feet.

1151
01:21:22,316 --> 01:21:26,808
They look bloated from being in this water and look water bogged.

1152
01:21:26,908 --> 01:21:32,470
Her skin is quite, quite pale and almost bluish now that she's close.

1153
01:21:33,091 --> 01:21:39,473
And she is half smiling up at you just waiting for you to grab her.

1154
01:21:39,774 --> 01:21:45,016
You can kind of reach with your fingertips and touch her, but um you would definitely

1155
01:21:45,016 --> 01:21:48,113
need that ladder or some other way to pull her out.

1156
01:21:49,589 --> 01:21:55,627
Yeah, I think I'm going to go and try to try to help her up the ladder.

1157
01:21:55,627 --> 01:21:58,841
You got things up here.

1158
01:21:58,931 --> 01:22:00,616
Yeah, no, I'm good, I'm good.

1159
01:22:00,616 --> 01:22:04,156
And I'll start maneuvering the ladder into place.

1160
01:22:04,545 --> 01:22:12,884
oh I'll jump down into there m and then try to help her up the ladder as Barone helps her
up top.

1161
01:22:13,406 --> 01:22:20,685
Yeah, she looks at you and now that you're down there, um she goes to the ladder.

1162
01:22:20,685 --> 01:22:24,129
Barone, actually give you a second.

1163
01:22:24,129 --> 01:22:26,821
Anything you want to do as he's trying to help her up?

1164
01:22:27,751 --> 01:22:29,302
Yeah, maybe one of those.

1165
01:22:29,302 --> 01:22:36,965
uh I'm not sure if human would do any good here or maybe like a quick scan.

1166
01:22:36,965 --> 01:22:48,181
So you said like there's marks around like are they different shapes than I would expect a
fingers like from a human to be shaped or anything that like clearly this is a crazy

1167
01:22:48,181 --> 01:22:53,393
situation, but anything that stands out as supernatural or off putting in that way.

1168
01:22:54,336 --> 01:22:58,386
Yeah, give me human for her and then yeah.

1169
01:22:58,386 --> 01:23:01,900
And then if you have a cold or a natural, give me that.

1170
01:23:02,355 --> 01:23:18,412
sure, human definitely failed I got a 42 out of 10 and um then occult or unnatural,
unnatural zero occult I do not have listed so it's just the 10 and yeah same thing I did

1171
01:23:18,412 --> 01:23:21,313
pretty good 19 but definitely not under a 10

1172
01:23:21,557 --> 01:23:24,199
Yeah, yeah, nothing, nothing coming up for you.

1173
01:23:24,199 --> 01:23:30,022
Emmett, as you're helping her up, she looks at you and she says, thank you.

1174
01:23:30,022 --> 01:23:30,823
Thank you.

1175
01:23:30,823 --> 01:23:32,974
It's been so miserable down here.

1176
01:23:32,974 --> 01:23:34,255
I'm so weak.

1177
01:23:34,255 --> 01:23:36,267
And she grabs the ladder.

1178
01:23:36,267 --> 01:23:40,148
You put your hand on her and guide her up or how are you helping?

1179
01:23:40,769 --> 01:23:43,309
Yeah, just make sure she could grab on all right.

1180
01:23:43,309 --> 01:23:48,409
You said like her hands were kind of curled in a bit, but it looks like she's able to use
them.

1181
01:23:48,409 --> 01:23:55,668
And I'm just there kind of spotting her from behind and giving her just a little push up,
making sure she doesn't fall back off the ladder.

1182
01:23:55,668 --> 01:24:01,201
Yeah, you touch her, she is cold as ice as you're pushing her up.

1183
01:24:01,262 --> 01:24:05,305
It's, you know, oddly cold and it's very cold down here.

1184
01:24:05,305 --> 01:24:09,588
So you get your guesses, you know, like it's just really cold down here.

1185
01:24:09,588 --> 01:24:15,552
But you push up and her skin is so emaciated and flabby.

1186
01:24:15,552 --> 01:24:18,454
comes between your fingers in strange ways.

1187
01:24:18,454 --> 01:24:24,778
um As she's climbing out, she's doing it slow and she's kind of like.

1188
01:24:24,850 --> 01:24:25,602
She's excited.

1189
01:24:25,602 --> 01:24:26,614
She's laughing a little bit.

1190
01:24:26,614 --> 01:24:31,325
She's like, and she is getting to the top.

1191
01:24:31,325 --> 01:24:33,369
Baron, are you helping her up at top?

1192
01:24:34,099 --> 01:24:47,778
Yeah man, at this point in time I think I have a choice to either put my pistol away and
help this person or keep a pistol out and I think the wrong choice is to put it away but I

1193
01:24:47,778 --> 01:24:53,191
think I'm going to put it away and try and help this poor, poor human out of the hole.

1194
01:24:53,204 --> 01:24:58,367
Yeah, you um reach in and grab her and pull her out.

1195
01:24:58,367 --> 01:25:05,301
She flops on the ground next to you, completely nude and is laying there for a second.

1196
01:25:05,301 --> 01:25:18,268
Just looks dazed by the sky and um her, know, you would expect somebody to just be in pain
or something, but she's kind of like giggling still um as she flops around and she tries

1197
01:25:18,268 --> 01:25:22,390
to stand up, but is having a tough time rolling over and getting up.

1198
01:25:23,183 --> 01:25:32,859
don't you don't need to stand up don't you don't stand up you're fine i'll take my jacket
from the ground where i tossed it um next to fire guy um and kind of put it over her for

1199
01:25:32,859 --> 01:25:38,447
some semblance of decency and maybe a smidge of warmth out here in the middle of nowhere

1200
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:42,752
And she's, thank you, thank you so much.

1201
01:25:42,752 --> 01:25:46,624
um Please, I think I should stand.

1202
01:25:46,624 --> 01:26:01,501
And um she keeps the jacket and then finally gets up um all the way after she stabilizes
herself and starts to kind of move around to get the cracks out of her bones.

1203
01:26:03,156 --> 01:26:05,834
wiggling her fingers back and forth.

1204
01:26:05,834 --> 01:26:08,600
Again, her eyes are all over the place.

1205
01:26:08,622 --> 01:26:10,104
Emma, are you coming out?

1206
01:26:11,457 --> 01:26:15,303
Um, I yell up, it's like, just make sure she's all right.

1207
01:26:15,303 --> 01:26:21,394
And I'm just going to take a beat to kind of cast about and see, is there anything else
down here?

1208
01:26:21,394 --> 01:26:23,677
Or is this just herself?

1209
01:26:24,394 --> 01:26:28,072
Just her, give me an intelligence um times five.

1210
01:26:28,072 --> 01:26:32,752
10 so looking for 50 as of 42.

1211
01:26:32,923 --> 01:26:35,115
Yeah, you look around, you see the scratch marks.

1212
01:26:35,115 --> 01:26:38,879
You don't see or smell any defecation.

1213
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:45,065
You don't see any food or food wrappers, no plate.

1214
01:26:45,065 --> 01:26:51,912
uh And the death certificate was two years old at this point.

1215
01:26:51,912 --> 01:26:56,288
uh It strikes you as extremely odd.

1216
01:26:56,288 --> 01:26:59,368
Yeah, that there's no other storage.

1217
01:26:59,368 --> 01:27:06,599
Doesn't seem like I was using this for anything else, but just is quote unquote dead wife
down here.

1218
01:27:06,599 --> 01:27:10,779
Yeah, I'm quite confused at this point.

1219
01:27:10,779 --> 01:27:13,519
I don't know who in their right mind would do this.

1220
01:27:13,519 --> 01:27:21,439
And I climbed back up to the top and yeah, see how she's doing.

1221
01:27:22,137 --> 01:27:26,405
She says, uh thanks again.

1222
01:27:26,405 --> 01:27:28,349
uh I've been in there for so long.

1223
01:27:28,349 --> 01:27:29,843
um

1224
01:27:29,843 --> 01:27:32,026
I'll be fine though, thank you, thank you.

1225
01:27:32,988 --> 01:27:42,411
I I don't think you'll be fucking fine at all if I was stuffed in a hole by my husband,
ex-husband, whatever you want to call it, and just left there to die.

1226
01:27:42,931 --> 01:27:44,788
One, I don't think I'd be standing.

1227
01:27:44,788 --> 01:27:47,693
I'm kind of surprised at that.

1228
01:27:48,033 --> 01:27:50,314
two, why?

1229
01:27:50,314 --> 01:27:52,565
uh Why did he put you down there?

1230
01:27:52,565 --> 01:27:53,735
How long have you been down there?

1231
01:27:53,735 --> 01:27:56,732
It can't have been two years.

1232
01:27:57,498 --> 01:27:58,737
I don't know.

1233
01:27:58,737 --> 01:27:59,902
I don't know.

1234
01:27:59,984 --> 01:28:02,809
Two years, is that how long I've gone?

1235
01:28:04,164 --> 01:28:07,408
That's when you officially died.

1236
01:28:07,689 --> 01:28:16,021
Do we remember what it said on like the cause of death on the death certificate?

1237
01:28:16,021 --> 01:28:17,366
covers the gamut there.

1238
01:28:17,366 --> 01:28:18,169
Yeah, right.

1239
01:28:18,169 --> 01:28:21,179
A heart attack while taking a dump and smashing your head.

1240
01:28:21,179 --> 01:28:21,963
know, same, same.

1241
01:28:21,963 --> 01:28:27,328
Yes, yes, I don't know why he would do that, but he did.

1242
01:28:27,328 --> 01:28:30,541
um But again, thank you so much.

1243
01:28:30,541 --> 01:28:34,955
I owe you the world.

1244
01:28:34,955 --> 01:28:38,758
I just need some food and I'll be fine.

1245
01:28:38,758 --> 01:28:39,890
um

1246
01:28:39,890 --> 01:28:42,601
Yeah, let's bring you in the cabin.

1247
01:28:42,641 --> 01:28:45,683
It seems like you need some warmth, little bit of rest.

1248
01:28:45,683 --> 01:28:48,644
I think we got some power bars in the truck.

1249
01:28:48,644 --> 01:28:54,326
um Do you know why Clyde did this to you?

1250
01:28:54,580 --> 01:28:57,448
Oh, by the way, he recently passed.

1251
01:28:57,448 --> 01:28:59,029
I think you should know that.

1252
01:28:59,029 --> 01:29:05,523
hope that's happy feeling, a sad feeling for you, but at least you know now.

1253
01:29:05,523 --> 01:29:06,783
Thank you for telling me.

1254
01:29:06,783 --> 01:29:11,345
um She gives no indication whether happy or sad about the news.

1255
01:29:11,345 --> 01:29:13,756
um Really, I just need some food.

1256
01:29:13,756 --> 01:29:14,966
I don't need any rest.

1257
01:29:14,966 --> 01:29:23,009
um Your bars of power that you spoke of would be just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine,
fine, fine, fine for me.

1258
01:29:23,009 --> 01:29:29,682
I uh will, I will, yes, yes, just the food is all I need.

1259
01:29:29,682 --> 01:29:35,143
Yeah, let's, we'll lead her over to the truck, grab a couple snacks for her.

1260
01:29:35,143 --> 01:29:39,983
And as she, you know, tear, I'm sure tears into them.

1261
01:29:40,043 --> 01:29:44,403
Do you, do you know why Clyde left you down there?

1262
01:29:44,403 --> 01:29:54,543
Was he, he seemed, from what we read of his notes, he seemed kind of scared of what was in
this, the static tank.

1263
01:29:54,556 --> 01:29:56,820
you lifts are scared of me.

1264
01:29:56,820 --> 01:29:58,181
I'm nothing.

1265
01:29:58,523 --> 01:30:01,166
I'm skin and bones.

1266
01:30:01,748 --> 01:30:03,030
He must have been insane.

1267
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,243
He must have been crazy.

1268
01:30:04,243 --> 01:30:07,263
When was the last time you've seen him?

1269
01:30:07,263 --> 01:30:08,383
When did he come?

1270
01:30:08,383 --> 01:30:09,663
Does he check on you?

1271
01:30:09,663 --> 01:30:11,543
Does he leave you food?

1272
01:30:12,442 --> 01:30:14,183
No, he did not leave me food.

1273
01:30:14,183 --> 01:30:15,934
It's been some time since I've eaten.

1274
01:30:15,934 --> 01:30:18,736
I'm so hungry, so hungry.

1275
01:30:18,736 --> 01:30:31,803
But he would peek down once in a while and try to talk like it was old times and like I
was his Marlene.

1276
01:30:32,003 --> 01:30:40,368
And he would regale me of stories and stories upon stories of what used to be with us.

1277
01:30:40,754 --> 01:30:43,571
but he left me down there, he was afraid of me.

1278
01:30:43,571 --> 01:30:47,250
And again, look at me, nothing to be afraid of.

1279
01:30:47,250 --> 01:30:47,838
Amen.

1280
01:30:47,838 --> 01:30:49,670
that is weird.

1281
01:30:49,670 --> 01:30:57,566
A human can survive multiple weeks without food, definitely not years, and it's even less
than that without water.

1282
01:30:57,566 --> 01:31:05,214
It's like it stays and you said he never came and I will grab my pistol out of its
holster.

1283
01:31:05,214 --> 01:31:06,267
Are you doing that stealthily?

1284
01:31:06,267 --> 01:31:09,784
Okay, go ahead and roll me stealth.

1285
01:31:09,886 --> 01:31:15,179
And so I'm gonna roll her alertness and this will be our first contested roll.

1286
01:31:15,179 --> 01:31:16,779
Okay, sounds good.

1287
01:31:16,819 --> 01:31:22,476
I got a 93 out of 30, so that is a failure.

1288
01:31:22,476 --> 01:31:25,439
Bro, she rolled a 100, no joke.

1289
01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:28,402
she is, yeah, she's lost in the sauce.

1290
01:31:28,402 --> 01:31:32,055
Your failure doesn't uh counteract her critical failure.

1291
01:31:32,055 --> 01:31:34,728
So she misses you pulling your pistol.

1292
01:31:34,728 --> 01:31:37,390
um She's looking towards the pickup truck.

1293
01:31:37,390 --> 01:31:41,974
In fact, she's leaned over it a little bit while Emmett is grabbing those power bars.

1294
01:31:41,975 --> 01:31:43,507
Do you give her the food, Emmett?

1295
01:31:43,507 --> 01:31:44,727
Yes.

1296
01:31:45,027 --> 01:31:47,504
Yeah, I want to make sure that she's all right.

1297
01:31:47,504 --> 01:31:51,930
She's tearing them open and eating them uh ravenously.

1298
01:31:51,951 --> 01:31:53,753
Her fingernails are quite long.

1299
01:31:53,753 --> 01:31:59,421
You see her pinky one is completely torn off like she was scratching the walls and lost
it.

1300
01:31:59,542 --> 01:32:03,358
And she just starts eating and eating and eating.

1301
01:32:03,358 --> 01:32:09,538
um Yeah, I do a little sidebar with Barone and was like, hey, how do you want to handle
this?

1302
01:32:09,538 --> 01:32:12,994
I mean, we can't take her to a hospital.

1303
01:32:12,994 --> 01:32:14,487
I mean, do we just drop her off?

1304
01:32:14,487 --> 01:32:17,453
No one should know that we were here.

1305
01:32:17,453 --> 01:32:22,808
I mean, yeah, definitely nobody should know that we are here, but she shouldn't be alive,
my guy.

1306
01:32:22,808 --> 01:32:30,065
That's not a uh time that a human can stay alive unless uh they're not.

1307
01:32:30,065 --> 01:32:30,725
down there.

1308
01:32:30,725 --> 01:32:34,605
I don't know if she might have some parasites or something.

1309
01:32:34,605 --> 01:32:40,165
I mean drinking that stagnant water, but I mean there's definitely enough water to keep
her going.

1310
01:32:40,165 --> 01:32:41,753
I don't know about the food though.

1311
01:32:41,753 --> 01:32:43,307
I mean two years, fire guy?

1312
01:32:43,307 --> 01:32:45,784
Nobody stays alive for two years unless you're...

1313
01:32:45,784 --> 01:32:46,425
not...

1314
01:32:46,425 --> 01:32:46,946
human.

1315
01:32:46,946 --> 01:32:47,528
There's not...

1316
01:32:47,528 --> 01:32:48,368
you...

1317
01:32:48,611 --> 01:32:49,594
you don't.

1318
01:32:49,594 --> 01:32:50,225
Not human.

1319
01:32:50,225 --> 01:32:54,102
I mean, we saw all, they've been married for who knows how long.

1320
01:32:54,102 --> 01:32:57,046
We saw all their family photos.

1321
01:32:57,769 --> 01:32:58,368
Thank you.

1322
01:32:58,368 --> 01:32:59,850
that's not actually Marlene.

1323
01:32:59,850 --> 01:33:01,449
I'm actually Marlene.

1324
01:33:02,376 --> 01:33:03,114
Yeah.

1325
01:33:03,114 --> 01:33:06,272
um And I.

1326
01:33:06,377 --> 01:33:07,458
Go sorry.

1327
01:33:07,458 --> 01:33:11,261
So as you guys are whispering about this, I'm going to roll her alertness.

1328
01:33:11,261 --> 01:33:12,954
um

1329
01:33:12,954 --> 01:33:17,581
She succeeded and what is everybody's decks?

1330
01:33:17,581 --> 01:33:20,197
Just the raw number, not the times five.

1331
01:33:20,635 --> 01:33:21,555
14.

1332
01:33:22,152 --> 01:33:29,092
Okay, so we are now in combat order as she knows that you are onto something.

1333
01:33:29,092 --> 01:33:32,792
Her dex is 17, so she's going to go first.

1334
01:33:32,852 --> 01:33:38,792
So, and then we would just go in the order of highest to lowest in the dexterity count,
okay?

1335
01:33:38,832 --> 01:33:49,303
You are the closest to her, Emmett, and she unnaturally jumps straight onto your chest
with her claws out.

1336
01:33:49,303 --> 01:33:50,813
Well, uh ma'am?

1337
01:33:50,813 --> 01:33:51,714
Ma'am?

1338
01:33:51,968 --> 01:34:04,705
You are unable to speak as she digs her claws into your shoulder blades like this and
starts to tear and go ahead and roll dodge to see if you can get out of this grass before

1339
01:34:04,705 --> 01:34:05,767
taking damage.

1340
01:34:05,767 --> 01:34:21,445
um dodge is 50 I feel like I'm quite surprised I was on her side this whole time trying to
almost protect her from barone I would say I don't know is there some sort of like penalty

1341
01:34:21,506 --> 01:34:25,881
dice that I'm not expecting this whatsoever that I would roll with

1342
01:34:26,030 --> 01:34:28,604
No, you're capable with your athletic score.

1343
01:34:28,604 --> 01:34:30,786
So I think you would be able to throw this off.

1344
01:34:30,786 --> 01:34:34,931
um If you were a dorky like accountant, then sure.

1345
01:34:35,471 --> 01:34:36,372
Mm-hmm.

1346
01:34:36,875 --> 01:34:38,459
That is a ten flat.

1347
01:34:38,459 --> 01:34:42,162
All right, Tin, she rolled a 42 and hers is over.

1348
01:34:42,162 --> 01:34:43,873
Hers is still higher.

1349
01:34:43,873 --> 01:34:51,659
So in a contested roll, you take, if you both succeed, you take just the highest number of
the contested roll.

1350
01:34:51,659 --> 01:34:52,979
Does that make sense?

1351
01:34:54,310 --> 01:35:01,312
And so her claws dig into your shoulders and you will take D3 damage.

1352
01:35:01,312 --> 01:35:04,413
I can roll that since D3s are hard to come by.

1353
01:35:05,293 --> 01:35:19,737
You take one um damage as she starts to tear into your collarbone and you feel her
fingernails ripping on the actual bone itself as they've dug in.

1354
01:35:19,737 --> 01:35:21,287
I believe you are next Emmett.

1355
01:35:21,287 --> 01:35:22,458
She is on your chest.

1356
01:35:22,458 --> 01:35:23,299
What are you doing?

1357
01:35:23,299 --> 01:35:26,782
uh Actually, Barun is next with a dex of 14.

1358
01:35:26,782 --> 01:35:29,004
Yep.

1359
01:35:29,986 --> 01:35:30,847
I'm just yelling.

1360
01:35:30,847 --> 01:35:35,651
I'm just flailing around with this little old lady on me.

1361
01:35:36,414 --> 01:35:40,529
Yeah, no question that this is now an enemy and there's no words to say.

1362
01:35:40,529 --> 01:35:46,866
think I take that GP100 that's in my hand, um aim and pop, pop.

1363
01:35:47,128 --> 01:35:52,828
Okay, you are very close, so you get a 20 % to that.

1364
01:35:52,828 --> 01:35:54,808
You just don't wanna critically fail.

1365
01:35:55,286 --> 01:35:55,926
sure.

1366
01:35:55,926 --> 01:35:57,126
I'm looking firearms.

1367
01:35:57,126 --> 01:35:58,566
I have a base of 50.

1368
01:35:58,566 --> 01:36:01,086
That'll be up to 70.

1369
01:36:01,726 --> 01:36:04,586
And let's go a 71.

1370
01:36:04,586 --> 01:36:05,966
Barely failed.

1371
01:36:06,186 --> 01:36:07,326
Failed by one.

1372
01:36:07,326 --> 01:36:08,546
Typical Barone.

1373
01:36:08,546 --> 01:36:11,947
You fire and still hit her, okay?

1374
01:36:11,947 --> 01:36:13,348
And it goes through her arm.

1375
01:36:13,348 --> 01:36:14,839
Roll me the damage on that.

1376
01:36:14,839 --> 01:36:25,114
But the ricochet hits the truck and then comes back and hits you, Emmett, in the shoulder
as she's on you.

1377
01:36:25,114 --> 01:36:28,756
So Emmett, can you roll me a D4?

1378
01:36:28,756 --> 01:36:32,138
And that's how much damage you'll take from that bullet shot in the shoulder.

1379
01:36:32,138 --> 01:36:33,059
Go ahead, Bro.

1380
01:36:33,059 --> 01:36:34,819
Roll your damage for her.

1381
01:36:35,114 --> 01:36:41,226
Sure, with the GP100 I have damage of 1d12 and let's get a 10.

1382
01:36:41,226 --> 01:36:42,186
Let's go.

1383
01:36:42,186 --> 01:36:42,837
All right.

1384
01:36:42,837 --> 01:36:49,739
So yeah, you shoot her through the throat and you see it rip out the other side.

1385
01:36:49,739 --> 01:37:03,543
Her guttural scream turns into a sloppy like hissing um and her viscera and bile starts
coming out on your chest, Emmet.

1386
01:37:03,543 --> 01:37:07,264
um And then how much did you take from that shoulder shot?

1387
01:37:07,979 --> 01:37:09,405
It took three.

1388
01:37:10,479 --> 01:37:11,539
Yeah.

1389
01:37:11,810 --> 01:37:16,103
So that is gonna wound you significantly in that arm.

1390
01:37:16,103 --> 01:37:23,139
So you will have a disadvantage to anything you do with that arm, including your dodge.

1391
01:37:23,139 --> 01:37:23,991
It is your turn.

1392
01:37:23,991 --> 01:37:28,971
Yeah, as she jumps on me, was like, bro, help, bro, bro, what are you doing?

1393
01:37:28,971 --> 01:37:38,831
And then the shot goes out and I just feel like I don't even notice that it goes through
her neck and I just feel like, bro, and shot me as it don't, no, not like that, come on.

1394
01:37:38,971 --> 01:37:40,631
God damn it, bro.

1395
01:37:40,771 --> 01:37:45,271
I wanted, I mean, I don't feel like I can reach for my gun.

1396
01:37:45,271 --> 01:37:47,271
Definitely can't reach for my ax right now.

1397
01:37:47,271 --> 01:37:49,471
I just want to throw her off of me.

1398
01:37:49,471 --> 01:37:51,971
I don't know if I could do some sort of like judo.

1399
01:37:51,971 --> 01:37:54,131
Like I fall back to my.

1400
01:37:54,236 --> 01:37:57,290
onto my back and try to like use the momentum thrower off.

1401
01:37:57,290 --> 01:37:58,677
Yeah, you absolutely can.

1402
01:37:58,677 --> 01:38:00,346
You just give me an unarmed.

1403
01:38:00,346 --> 01:38:01,346
Okay.

1404
01:38:01,887 --> 01:38:06,819
And will that be with a penalty dice because of the shoulder injury?

1405
01:38:06,819 --> 01:38:09,110
Okay.

1406
01:38:09,290 --> 01:38:11,151
Looking for an 80 then.

1407
01:38:12,426 --> 01:38:13,973
And I rolled a 90.

1408
01:38:13,973 --> 01:38:18,900
I'm still surprised.

1409
01:38:18,900 --> 01:38:23,297
I do not know what's going on and I try to throw her off and just fall backwards.

1410
01:38:23,297 --> 01:38:25,098
And now she's right on top of me.

1411
01:38:25,244 --> 01:38:31,144
she is on top of you, but your back is on the hood of the pickup truck and she is
slashing.

1412
01:38:31,144 --> 01:38:40,815
So she comes in and you see her mouth open up wide and unnaturally wide and her teeth are
coming straight for your face.

1413
01:38:40,815 --> 01:38:46,006
Go ahead and roll a dodge and this will be at a 10 % disadvantage.

1414
01:38:46,006 --> 01:38:49,586
Okay, then I'm looking for a 40 for that.

1415
01:38:50,186 --> 01:38:51,686
And got a 75.

1416
01:38:51,686 --> 01:38:54,667
I rolling hot all day until combat starts.

1417
01:38:54,667 --> 01:38:58,507
She failed too and her role was a 72.

1418
01:38:58,507 --> 01:39:08,807
So her mouth comes down and you're able to get one of your hands up to stop it from biting
you, but she does bite your hand as well.

1419
01:39:08,807 --> 01:39:13,767
You don't take any damage, but she's locked into your hand with her mouth.

1420
01:39:14,507 --> 01:39:15,258
Agent Barone.

1421
01:39:15,258 --> 01:39:16,219
Agent Barone.

1422
01:39:16,219 --> 01:39:17,460
uh fuck.

1423
01:39:17,460 --> 01:39:23,225
I'm so sorry fire guy And then I'll uh re aim and take another shot this thing.

1424
01:39:23,225 --> 01:39:29,529
I'm not getting anywhere near that I'm staying as within range, but not as close as
possible

1425
01:39:29,529 --> 01:39:31,985
OK, so you're not going to walk up and point blanket.

1426
01:39:31,985 --> 01:39:33,610
You're going to keep your distance.

1427
01:39:33,610 --> 01:39:37,150
Dangit Nick, point blank was so so sweet.

1428
01:39:38,130 --> 01:39:42,630
I am gonna do that.

1429
01:39:42,630 --> 01:39:44,050
Yes, yep.

1430
01:39:45,330 --> 01:39:49,070
How many steps forward do I have to take to get in point blank range again?

1431
01:39:50,330 --> 01:39:51,270
Let's do it.

1432
01:39:51,270 --> 01:39:52,970
That seems doable.

1433
01:39:52,970 --> 01:39:53,736
Let's go please.

1434
01:39:53,736 --> 01:39:56,786
cannot fail the shot, but roll me anyway.

1435
01:39:56,786 --> 01:39:59,936
And then if it's a critical failure, then something bad happens too.

1436
01:40:00,394 --> 01:40:02,714
It is not a critical failure.

1437
01:40:02,934 --> 01:40:04,094
Yeah, right.

1438
01:40:04,094 --> 01:40:08,418
No, it's it's a 65 under the 70 again

1439
01:40:08,745 --> 01:40:09,782
Give me the damage.

1440
01:40:09,782 --> 01:40:12,527
Oh, it's a ten again!

1441
01:40:13,242 --> 01:40:14,735
Yeah!

1442
01:40:14,735 --> 01:40:24,051
and fire um and Emmett, you just hear the sound of this massive report um echo through
your head.

1443
01:40:24,051 --> 01:40:25,362
You feel the vibration.

1444
01:40:25,362 --> 01:40:35,109
In fact, you see the flash from somewhere and parts of this woman's jaw fly off and onto
you.

1445
01:40:35,109 --> 01:40:41,384
um onto your chest, but she is still struggling to get at you and raking towards you.

1446
01:40:41,384 --> 01:40:42,700
It is your turn.

1447
01:40:42,874 --> 01:40:46,566
Yeah, her teeth still kind of sunk into my hand.

1448
01:40:47,237 --> 01:40:48,612
She doesn't have a jaw anymore.

1449
01:40:48,612 --> 01:40:50,609
yeah, yeah, yeah.

1450
01:40:50,609 --> 01:40:51,675
Your hand is free.

1451
01:40:51,675 --> 01:40:53,706
Well, I'm a little more free.

1452
01:40:53,706 --> 01:40:57,426
Yeah, I just, she's still on top of me.

1453
01:40:57,426 --> 01:40:59,266
I'm on top of the hood of the car.

1454
01:40:59,266 --> 01:41:02,586
And I just want to, I do have my combat knife.

1455
01:41:02,586 --> 01:41:15,446
Yes, I think it me I am like struggling as she is, you know, bearing down on me and I'm
trying to lean to one side and reach for my boots and pull out the combat knife.

1456
01:41:15,446 --> 01:41:16,662
And I'm

1457
01:41:16,699 --> 01:41:22,942
I just want to put this into her temple and try to hit her off.

1458
01:41:22,942 --> 01:41:23,833
gonna do two rolls.

1459
01:41:23,833 --> 01:41:32,397
So give me athletics to see if you can reach it and bear through the pain in your shoulder
to grab it.

1460
01:41:32,397 --> 01:41:37,599
And then if you can and you succeed that, then we'll do a melee roll.

1461
01:41:37,918 --> 01:41:40,249
Alright, my athletics is 80.

1462
01:41:40,249 --> 01:41:42,590
and got a 60 flat.

1463
01:41:43,871 --> 01:41:55,756
Yeah, reach for my knife and I'm gonna, you know, try to use my momentum, do a little
torso twist and use all my force and punch this into the side of her head.

1464
01:41:56,235 --> 01:42:03,820
Got another 80 flat, that is, um if it meets it beats or is that a success or failure?

1465
01:42:03,820 --> 01:42:06,481
oh just barely.

1466
01:42:07,075 --> 01:42:09,117
you know, this is happening breakneck fast.

1467
01:42:09,117 --> 01:42:20,296
In fact, you were going for your knife when her mouth was on your hand and then you felt
the gunshot and hurt it and you were already pulling your knife and you jab it straight

1468
01:42:20,296 --> 01:42:22,648
into the rest of what's left of her head.

1469
01:42:22,648 --> 01:42:24,361
Go ahead and roll the damage on that.

1470
01:42:24,361 --> 01:42:28,771
This is D6 plus 2 and also says armor piercing 3.

1471
01:42:28,771 --> 01:42:35,789
I don't think she has any armor but just the skull armor that we all have.

1472
01:42:36,451 --> 01:42:39,064
That is going to be a 2 plus 2 of 4.

1473
01:42:39,064 --> 01:42:39,904
Great.

1474
01:42:39,904 --> 01:42:51,149
You feel her entire body go slack as that knife enters where maybe there's a functional
brain, it's hard to say, and you're able to knock her off of you and she flops down to the

1475
01:42:51,149 --> 01:42:51,829
ground.

1476
01:42:51,829 --> 01:42:54,670
The body is twitching quite a bit still.

1477
01:42:54,731 --> 01:42:55,851
What do you do now?

1478
01:42:55,851 --> 01:42:57,893
We are out of the combat turn order.

1479
01:42:57,893 --> 01:43:07,623
I scramble back a little bit, take a couple deep breaths and then just pull out my 1911
and put two more into her head.

1480
01:43:08,524 --> 01:43:17,212
I'm real shaken up and that's just my first instinct to make sure that this is no longer
moving, whatever this is in front of me.

1481
01:43:17,212 --> 01:43:21,145
Yeah, the head is completely obliterated at this point.

1482
01:43:21,145 --> 01:43:26,131
It's just a like mess of flesh and few recognizable parts.

1483
01:43:26,392 --> 01:43:28,334
Some teeth here and there.

1484
01:43:28,395 --> 01:43:32,659
The tongue is kind of flopping around um out of the neck hole.

1485
01:43:32,659 --> 01:43:35,522
But yeah, it's completely obliterated.

1486
01:43:35,522 --> 01:43:38,854
um It's over to you.

1487
01:43:38,854 --> 01:43:39,250
and.

1488
01:43:39,250 --> 01:43:44,030
All right, Barone, I will listen to you moving forward.

1489
01:43:44,030 --> 01:43:49,310
I think you've had a couple more run-ins than I have with something like this.

1490
01:43:49,690 --> 01:43:56,301
I think my firefighter training took over and I just want to help this like woman.

1491
01:43:56,301 --> 01:43:59,861
But yeah, what do you make of this?

1492
01:43:59,861 --> 01:44:01,901
And I'm just like double over.

1493
01:44:02,134 --> 01:44:04,647
I've literally never seen a fucking single thing like this.

1494
01:44:04,647 --> 01:44:10,888
This is absolutely insane, but no human being could have stayed alive in a hole like that
for- for two years.

1495
01:44:10,888 --> 01:44:12,737
This- this doesn't- this doesn't make sense.

1496
01:44:12,737 --> 01:44:13,719
That doesn't make sense.

1497
01:44:13,719 --> 01:44:15,071
This isn't normal, right?

1498
01:44:15,071 --> 01:44:15,931
Right?

1499
01:44:16,761 --> 01:44:19,204
Yeah, you say human.

1500
01:44:19,245 --> 01:44:20,386
I'm second-guessing that.

1501
01:44:20,386 --> 01:44:24,753
I don't know if you saw her jaw, but it was more snake-like.

1502
01:44:24,753 --> 01:44:27,596
I think she was trying to swallow me whole.

1503
01:44:28,338 --> 01:44:30,709
It just unhinged and went right for me.

1504
01:44:30,709 --> 01:44:44,460
teeth for days, 40, 50, she had none, she had none fire guy, they were supposed to be
inside, in the chest, they're big and ch- what, I, what the fuck was that?

1505
01:44:44,460 --> 01:44:52,856
I don't know, but you know, think Clyde's suggestion of burning it all up is sounding
pretty good right now.

1506
01:44:52,897 --> 01:44:54,533
And I...

1507
01:44:54,533 --> 01:45:02,342
And I'll put my gun away and start um making for the two gas tanks, the gas canisters that
were put into the back of the truck.

1508
01:45:03,243 --> 01:45:03,596
Yeah.

1509
01:45:03,596 --> 01:45:09,371
Yeah, and I'll just grab her by the ankle and start dragging her back towards the septic
tank.

1510
01:45:09,643 --> 01:45:10,700
Roll alertness.

1511
01:45:10,700 --> 01:45:13,380
Me, both of us.

1512
01:45:13,900 --> 01:45:18,860
Got a 50 for that and rolled an 8.

1513
01:45:19,029 --> 01:45:25,007
Yeah, you feel the twitching still and her leg starts to like move a little bit.

1514
01:45:25,330 --> 01:45:26,431
What do do?

1515
01:45:27,943 --> 01:45:31,784
no, no, no, no, and I drop it and take a couple steps back.

1516
01:45:31,784 --> 01:45:39,047
Uh, Bronn, I don't think she's done here, and I'm rooting around for my axe.

1517
01:45:39,048 --> 01:45:44,918
I don't know if I left it over by the septic tank when I jumped in and I-

1518
01:45:44,918 --> 01:45:46,440
faded luck rolls.

1519
01:45:47,138 --> 01:45:47,937
Mmm.

1520
01:45:47,937 --> 01:45:49,267
Feeling lucky today.

1521
01:45:49,267 --> 01:45:55,811
Alright, yeah, you back up and step on your fire axe laying by the edge of the septic
tank.

1522
01:45:56,412 --> 01:45:59,113
She's still wiggling and wobbling down there.

1523
01:45:59,113 --> 01:46:00,213
What are you doing?

1524
01:46:00,627 --> 01:46:10,332
Yeah, I want to just go limb by limb if I can and make sure that even if she's still
alive, there's not going to be much that she can do.

1525
01:46:10,474 --> 01:46:12,808
You go limb by limb.

1526
01:46:12,808 --> 01:46:18,879
Can you roll me sanity for violence as you're hacking apart this once female figure?

1527
01:46:18,879 --> 01:46:20,758
That would be an 87 fail.

1528
01:46:20,758 --> 01:46:24,367
roll me a D4 of sand loss.

1529
01:46:24,367 --> 01:46:25,189
One.

1530
01:46:25,536 --> 01:46:28,178
I will just hit that on my sanity.

1531
01:46:28,178 --> 01:46:29,484
you are doing this.

1532
01:46:29,484 --> 01:46:32,517
What about this is disturbing to you?

1533
01:46:32,631 --> 01:46:44,801
Um, just having to, you know, still seeing this as a frail old woman, even though knowing
what she not knowing what she actually is, but you know, in my head that this is someone I

1534
01:46:44,801 --> 01:46:45,931
was supposed to save.

1535
01:46:45,931 --> 01:46:47,292
now I am.

1536
01:46:47,713 --> 01:46:51,005
Whatever the complete opposite of that is doing it to her right now.

1537
01:46:51,005 --> 01:47:00,141
Um, yeah, I've, I've used my ax on many things that I've not used it on a human body
before and the sounds, the sights.

1538
01:47:00,732 --> 01:47:01,662
Yeah.

1539
01:47:02,804 --> 01:47:03,705
Yeah.

1540
01:47:03,705 --> 01:47:06,107
Yeah, you are hacking her to bits.

1541
01:47:06,107 --> 01:47:15,534
It's like the old 80s movie, Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2, as you dismember this corpse that
was trying to animate.

1542
01:47:15,595 --> 01:47:19,037
And what do you do with these disparate pieces?

1543
01:47:19,309 --> 01:47:24,631
uh Going back to the original plan, I'm just going to toss them one by one down to the
septic tank.

1544
01:47:24,631 --> 01:47:28,003
uh Barone's coming with the gas from the truck.

1545
01:47:28,003 --> 01:47:33,615
I'm going to go back to the shed and grab the rest that I can and start pouring.

1546
01:47:33,615 --> 01:47:47,100
um I know the best way to make a gas trail, how far we need to stand back to stay safe and
make sure that anything and everything is not going to survive down there once we're done

1547
01:47:47,100 --> 01:47:47,680
with it.

1548
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:57,033
Yeah, Barone, um you grab the gas cans and immediately turn around and you see um Flint
just.

1549
01:47:57,108 --> 01:48:08,842
chopping away at this corpse in the distance in the dark you hear the hunk hunk you start
hearing it go through the bone and into the dirt below it so you hear like mud being

1550
01:48:08,842 --> 01:48:19,906
squished at the same time as this body being torn apart and are you helping him drag all
these body parts into the hole too or keeping your distance

1551
01:48:20,083 --> 01:48:22,835
No, I think we've chosen the divide and conquer route.

1552
01:48:22,835 --> 01:48:30,650
I'm farmer carrying both of those jugs directly to the pit and filling it with that sweet
sweet burn liquid.

1553
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:33,762
Yeah, yeah, you're filling it up.

1554
01:48:33,762 --> 01:48:36,294
There's an arm flies by you into the hole.

1555
01:48:36,294 --> 01:48:44,291
There's a leg um part of a torso, another section of a torso um flaps down in there.

1556
01:48:44,291 --> 01:48:47,583
The flesh hits the water mixes with the gasoline.

1557
01:48:47,583 --> 01:48:50,631
uh You're prepared.

1558
01:48:50,631 --> 01:48:58,241
handling the body, I still feel it twitching and moving like these disparate parts no
longer connected to the central nervous system?

1559
01:48:58,241 --> 01:49:00,863
Are they twitching around still?

1560
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:02,464
absolutely.

1561
01:49:02,925 --> 01:49:03,424
What?

1562
01:49:03,424 --> 01:49:06,399
Yeah, and in fact you get, oh go ahead, sorry, yeah.

1563
01:49:06,399 --> 01:49:13,257
oh yeah, make sure we douse each body part individually as well before it gets tossed in
there.

1564
01:49:13,502 --> 01:49:20,655
Yeah, you get most of Marlene, for lack of a better term, into the pit.

1565
01:49:20,955 --> 01:49:24,217
Let's see how thorough you can be in picking up these parts.

1566
01:49:24,217 --> 01:49:30,020
Can you roll me a search to see if you can identify all of them?

1567
01:49:30,020 --> 01:49:30,731
Both of you.

1568
01:49:30,731 --> 01:49:36,441
search 40 and rolled a 65 fail

1569
01:49:36,669 --> 01:49:39,990
I got, I was looking for 50, rolled 28, success.

1570
01:49:39,990 --> 01:49:52,839
Okay, yeah, you feel like, know, Flint Emmett has done a good job, um but you're kind of
looking around with your flashlight and seeing like little bits of her here and there.

1571
01:49:52,839 --> 01:49:55,021
And you're kind of doing the cleanup.

1572
01:49:55,021 --> 01:50:01,596
You get an eyeball m that you can bring over, but you're able to get it all down there.

1573
01:50:01,596 --> 01:50:08,035
Okay great, I'm going to make my way up to the shed um where before I probably wouldn't
have known.

1574
01:50:08,035 --> 01:50:09,427
Well, I guess it was in the note.

1575
01:50:09,427 --> 01:50:10,688
It is filled with gasoline.

1576
01:50:10,688 --> 01:50:13,642
I will keep training down the rest.

1577
01:50:13,642 --> 01:50:15,775
I will just bring more and more gas.

1578
01:50:15,775 --> 01:50:17,087
I want to fuck this thing.

1579
01:50:17,087 --> 01:50:19,810
I want to make sure it is absolutely obliterated.

1580
01:50:20,167 --> 01:50:22,378
And you think that's what Clyde was trying to do.

1581
01:50:22,378 --> 01:50:24,269
That there's so much gas here.

1582
01:50:24,269 --> 01:50:25,320
It's overkill.

1583
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:28,441
It's more gas than you would need to do anything with this.

1584
01:50:28,441 --> 01:50:31,663
um Yeah, you're able to fill it up.

1585
01:50:31,663 --> 01:50:36,335
Every single part of this creature is floating in it.

1586
01:50:36,335 --> 01:50:39,817
What are you just dropping a match in?

1587
01:50:39,817 --> 01:50:43,869
You know, I'm assuming Emmett's doing the honors here.

1588
01:50:44,354 --> 01:50:49,180
Yeah, I take the his handwritten note about all the gasoline and everything.

1589
01:50:49,180 --> 01:50:51,828
I light that up and drop it down.

1590
01:50:52,023 --> 01:50:54,014
Yeah, salute.

1591
01:50:54,014 --> 01:50:59,735
And the note flutters down like a leaf as sparks come off of it.

1592
01:50:59,735 --> 01:51:06,097
It illuminates the whole tank briefly and it hits the gas.

1593
01:51:06,097 --> 01:51:07,357
And it's not an explosion.

1594
01:51:07,357 --> 01:51:20,821
This isn't a unless you throw the hatch down, uh but some fire does start to spread and
then you feel the heat come up and hit you in the face from this hole and you watch it

1595
01:51:20,821 --> 01:51:21,292
burn.

1596
01:51:21,292 --> 01:51:35,532
Yeah, feeling that heat is something I'm quite used to and I just, you know, love getting
lost in the fire and knowing the powerful destructive nature of it.

1597
01:51:35,612 --> 01:51:42,692
I feel a little easy now, still shaken up, still bleeding.

1598
01:51:43,072 --> 01:51:50,303
And then I feel a twinge of pain in my shoulder and look towards Barone, knowing that she
shot me.

1599
01:51:50,303 --> 01:51:51,013
Yeah.

1600
01:51:51,013 --> 01:51:55,482
But uh I don't make her feel bad for it at this time.

1601
01:51:55,482 --> 01:52:01,596
Yeah, I noticed you look at look at your shoulder and wince a little bit and look at me
and I'm like, oh yeah.

1602
01:52:01,596 --> 01:52:05,979
uh Sorry about saving your life, fire guy.

1603
01:52:05,979 --> 01:52:07,830
Jesus, lock it up.

1604
01:52:08,416 --> 01:52:08,900
Yeah.

1605
01:52:08,900 --> 01:52:16,243
right, I think we make a good team here and uh I'll let this one slide, but just don't
shoot me again.

1606
01:52:16,243 --> 01:52:20,720
mean, if we're gonna be working together now, I think we need to have a little trust.

1607
01:52:21,004 --> 01:52:23,196
I I'm not sure how long they'll keep us together.

1608
01:52:23,196 --> 01:52:30,363
This, you know, this may be one thing or another, but yeah, I will try my hardest not to
get people around me killed.

1609
01:52:30,363 --> 01:52:31,405
I can promise you that.

1610
01:52:31,405 --> 01:52:33,046
And I hit him on the shoulder.

1611
01:52:33,046 --> 01:52:35,678
Oh, shit, I forgot already.

1612
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:37,582
I'll tell you what, though.

1613
01:52:37,582 --> 01:52:39,533
I don't think I'm ever going to sleep again.

1614
01:52:39,533 --> 01:52:40,805
How do you feel about coffee?

1615
01:52:40,805 --> 01:52:46,188
Yeah, let's get some food and a cup of joe.

1616
01:52:46,188 --> 01:52:51,589
And I kick the um hatch shut on this object tank.

1617
01:52:51,634 --> 01:52:55,217
it's a pit of fire and lava down there.

1618
01:52:55,217 --> 01:53:01,612
And you get into the truck, you have the trunk of presumably what this organization was
looking for.

1619
01:53:01,612 --> 01:53:04,265
You're a few days ahead of schedule.

1620
01:53:04,265 --> 01:53:08,107
You get on the road and are driving back.

1621
01:53:09,029 --> 01:53:13,392
the realization that you have destroyed something.

1622
01:53:14,375 --> 01:53:22,028
completely unnatural and horrible for this reality you live in, bolsters your sanity.

1623
01:53:22,028 --> 01:53:25,269
Give me a D8 and you can add that to your sanity.

1624
01:53:25,269 --> 01:53:34,512
In Delta Green, if you come across the unnatural and destroy it without losing too much of
your marbles, you get sanity gain.

1625
01:53:34,743 --> 01:53:35,694
Awesome.

1626
01:53:35,694 --> 01:53:37,515
D8 of sanity.

1627
01:53:38,396 --> 01:53:40,826
Well, I just replenished the one I have lost.

1628
01:53:40,826 --> 01:53:41,921
There you go.

1629
01:53:43,271 --> 01:53:45,093
I got a good old fiber.

1630
01:53:45,122 --> 01:53:49,317
All right, and your max sanity is your max sanity.

1631
01:53:49,317 --> 01:53:53,171
So you can go above what your last sanity was.

1632
01:53:53,171 --> 01:53:57,917
You can gain more sanity than your starting point ah in Delta Green as well.

1633
01:53:58,408 --> 01:53:58,838
What?

1634
01:53:58,838 --> 01:53:59,338
Yeah.

1635
01:53:59,338 --> 01:54:02,476
I guess it's so hard fought they're like, you know what?

1636
01:54:02,599 --> 01:54:03,822
We'll throw you a bone here.

1637
01:54:03,822 --> 01:54:04,795
You're like, great.

1638
01:54:04,795 --> 01:54:05,531
Thank you.

1639
01:54:05,531 --> 01:54:11,745
Yeah, yeah, and you're able to get some coffee, get some food.

1640
01:54:11,745 --> 01:54:23,194
um You get to day three and Agent K is waiting for you at the bar.

1641
01:54:23,194 --> 01:54:24,514
Do you turn in everything?

1642
01:54:24,514 --> 01:54:26,346
Like have you picked through some of the stuff?

1643
01:54:26,346 --> 01:54:27,708
What's going on?

1644
01:54:27,708 --> 01:54:32,148
think we spend a little time trying to read through the dissertation.

1645
01:54:32,148 --> 01:54:34,948
I don't know if we can get our hand on a reel to reel.

1646
01:54:35,408 --> 01:54:40,828
But yeah, over coffee and flapjacks, we are just flipping through.

1647
01:54:40,828 --> 01:54:47,028
We kind of divide and conquer the documents, trying to make heads or tails of it.

1648
01:54:47,028 --> 01:54:49,648
And a lot of it's going over Emmett's head.

1649
01:54:49,648 --> 01:54:55,548
Still just thinking back to Marlene and who or what she was.

1650
01:54:56,000 --> 01:55:06,029
I argue in three days and a stack of hundred dollar bills uh that's in my jacket that I
definitely took back from this woman before we threw her into the pit.

1651
01:55:06,029 --> 01:55:10,393
uh Okay, just connect those dots.

1652
01:55:11,194 --> 01:55:14,668
would say it'd be pretty easy to get reel to reel in.

1653
01:55:14,668 --> 01:55:19,162
Once you start digging in, there's no going back.

1654
01:55:19,162 --> 01:55:20,554
I might as well know more.

1655
01:55:20,554 --> 01:55:25,995
So I think we absolutely take that reel to reel, find a dark room somewhere and spin it
on.

1656
01:55:26,036 --> 01:55:40,716
Yeah, um studying ah the dissertation will give you a plus 1 % to your unnatural, but
reduce your SAN by a D3.

1657
01:55:40,716 --> 01:55:46,479
So if you're looking at that, give yourself one a natural and then reduce by a D3 of SAN.

1658
01:55:46,740 --> 01:55:50,181
And the reel to reel is more interesting.

1659
01:55:50,536 --> 01:55:55,031
You put it on and you're hearing, it's not a video, it's all audio.

1660
01:55:55,412 --> 01:56:02,320
You hear, it looks like a pseudo Christian service involving snake handling.

1661
01:56:03,122 --> 01:56:10,406
And the further and further you get into this sermon, this congregation of.

1662
01:56:10,416 --> 01:56:13,947
insanity later because you just start hearing everybody cry.

1663
01:56:13,947 --> 01:56:19,288
You can start picking out some chanting and some unnatural elements.

1664
01:56:19,489 --> 01:56:23,529
And at the end, you hear two voices talking.

1665
01:56:23,830 --> 01:56:31,832
They are discussing how to essentially bring someone back from the dead.

1666
01:56:32,252 --> 01:56:38,394
They're talking about using bear fur, strange feathers from rare birds.

1667
01:56:38,394 --> 01:56:39,888
uh

1668
01:56:39,888 --> 01:56:47,456
infant teeth as a part of a ritual with snakes to have somebody live again.

1669
01:56:48,218 --> 01:56:56,949
And you know, this probably had a big importance to Clyde, you're guessing, as um he lost
his wife a few years ago.

1670
01:56:56,949 --> 01:56:59,335
Mm.

1671
01:56:59,335 --> 01:57:03,888
Bron, you found the feathers and teeth and everything.

1672
01:57:03,888 --> 01:57:05,462
We still have that, right?

1673
01:57:05,462 --> 01:57:12,601
Yeah, it's not too far-fetched to uh follow the line there and figure out that Clyde
brought his wife back.

1674
01:57:12,601 --> 01:57:16,205
What she actually turned into when she was back though...

1675
01:57:17,388 --> 01:57:18,309
Who knows?

1676
01:57:18,309 --> 01:57:20,318
Did it say any-

1677
01:57:20,318 --> 01:57:21,349
snake.

1678
01:57:22,677 --> 01:57:24,180
The whole child thing.

1679
01:57:24,504 --> 01:57:36,221
and cold as ice i don't think that explains the teeth however that doesn't make any sense
but i don't think i care the whole it's no that's a big old no for me dog

1680
01:57:37,215 --> 01:57:37,728
Yeah.

1681
01:57:37,728 --> 01:57:39,922
Do know what they were doing with the snakes?

1682
01:57:39,922 --> 01:57:44,170
Were they like using the venom or were they having the snakes bite them?

1683
01:57:44,170 --> 01:57:45,594
Were they live snakes?

1684
01:57:45,594 --> 01:57:50,304
Go ahead and roll humanent as you are listening to see our human

1685
01:57:51,744 --> 01:57:57,269
CUMINT is only 10 and that is a 22.

1686
01:57:57,269 --> 01:58:00,071
So that's a crit fail.

1687
01:58:00,498 --> 01:58:01,513
It's hard to say.

1688
01:58:01,513 --> 01:58:05,171
It was a chaotic sounding thing, so.

1689
01:58:05,247 --> 01:58:06,105
Mm-hmm.

1690
01:58:06,307 --> 01:58:07,507
Yeah, I got even worse than that.

1691
01:58:07,507 --> 01:58:10,727
got 57 out of 10 fail as well.

1692
01:58:11,298 --> 01:58:22,328
but you studied a dissertation and you got some puzzle piece to what was going on with
Clyde, um turning it all into K.

1693
01:58:22,328 --> 01:58:36,126
um Yeah, I think before we turn it into K in in those papers we did have for nine
financial papers that mentioned the K group and Obviously we know that that Clyde was

1694
01:58:36,126 --> 01:58:43,860
working for Well, I'm sorry was it explained that Clyde was working for Delta Green
specifically

1695
01:58:44,678 --> 01:58:50,585
Nothing directly pointed it out, but he insinuated that he did some work for Delta Green.

1696
01:58:50,585 --> 01:58:51,425
Yeah.

1697
01:58:52,226 --> 01:58:53,178
Got you.

1698
01:58:53,178 --> 01:59:05,658
Is there anything in here that can that can, you know, connect the dots of if Delta Green
was having him look into this or if this was just a man grieving, you know, hoping not to

1699
01:59:05,658 --> 01:59:07,500
have to deal with the loss?

1700
01:59:08,495 --> 01:59:21,051
Yeah, um the K group stuff seems unrelated to the loss, but the evidence thing, your
guesses could be lifted from any FBI evidence store room.

1701
01:59:21,051 --> 01:59:22,692
So the reel to reel.

1702
01:59:23,142 --> 01:59:24,942
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1703
01:59:24,942 --> 01:59:25,409
Okay.

1704
01:59:25,409 --> 01:59:26,189
I mean...

1705
01:59:26,189 --> 01:59:30,910
K group, is this like the letter K or is this like agent K or handler?

1706
01:59:30,910 --> 01:59:32,454
K group, just the letter K.

1707
01:59:32,454 --> 01:59:35,481
Some World War II era associations.

1708
01:59:35,481 --> 01:59:39,149
ah If they're on a watch list, you're guessing probably Nazis.

1709
01:59:39,904 --> 01:59:40,384
Yeah, 100%.

1710
01:59:40,384 --> 01:59:43,006
Yeah, that makes sense.

1711
01:59:43,067 --> 01:59:44,327
Okay, great.

1712
01:59:45,128 --> 01:59:50,662
All right, well, I think I'm done with all of this bullshit and I would like it off my
lawn, please.

1713
01:59:50,662 --> 01:59:53,014
And I will take that box.

1714
01:59:53,014 --> 01:59:58,839
And I'm imagining we're back in the bar and I shifted across the bar to K.

1715
01:59:58,859 --> 02:00:00,191
This is your problem now.

1716
02:00:00,191 --> 02:00:03,874
these are the type of problems that um I enjoy.

1717
02:00:03,874 --> 02:00:06,736
So I thank you for your work.

1718
02:00:06,736 --> 02:00:08,778
Here's some more for a job well done.

1719
02:00:08,778 --> 02:00:10,199
Another stack of a hundreds.

1720
02:00:10,199 --> 02:00:16,063
um And he also passes you both pagers.

1721
02:00:16,364 --> 02:00:22,148
He says, you might be getting a page from me or somebody else.

1722
02:00:22,148 --> 02:00:24,790
um Be sure to call back quickly.

1723
02:00:25,250 --> 02:00:26,293
And he

1724
02:00:26,293 --> 02:00:37,806
unnaturally hefts that giant thing up under his arm and walks out into the streetlights
and walks across the street and gets into a car you haven't seen.

1725
02:00:37,806 --> 02:00:45,492
a little smoother than expected and still got a lot of questions, but I don't know if I
want those answers.

1726
02:00:46,734 --> 02:00:50,988
Baron, I think we're done here.

1727
02:00:50,988 --> 02:00:54,040
It's been a pleasure.

1728
02:00:55,173 --> 02:00:59,220
you don't want to sit down and get absolutely rip-roying drunk with me for a little bit?

1729
02:00:59,220 --> 02:01:05,882
Now I need to make it back to Morgan and try to forget everything over the past three
days.

1730
02:01:07,073 --> 02:01:13,601
I could I'll tell you what that some things you can't forget and I'm gonna drink so much
fucking coffee I can never sleep again.

1731
02:01:13,601 --> 02:01:26,366
That's for sure and I'm I'm definitely not gonna be able to forget that I'm I'm staying
but if you're a if you're out fire guy, it was uh, it was nice knowing you and she holds

1732
02:01:26,366 --> 02:01:27,558
her arms out for a hug

1733
02:01:27,558 --> 02:01:34,179
Yeah, I didn't take you as much as a hugger, but yeah, why not?

1734
02:01:34,179 --> 02:01:35,219
Why not?

1735
02:01:35,219 --> 02:01:36,859
And you know, I'd come and hug you.

1736
02:01:36,859 --> 02:01:40,899
I imagine your head comes down to like my sternum.

1737
02:01:41,559 --> 02:01:44,459
And yeah, give you a nice squeeze.

1738
02:01:44,739 --> 02:01:48,319
And as we release, I flick you a quarter.

1739
02:01:48,319 --> 02:01:54,139
So you know, if you're going to be here a while, why not put on one of your Deathcore?

1740
02:01:54,391 --> 02:01:55,952
bulge songs.

1741
02:01:55,952 --> 02:01:56,854
Yeah, got it.

1742
02:01:56,854 --> 02:01:58,628
I'll put one on just for you.

1743
02:01:58,628 --> 02:02:01,155
uh Take care of yourself out there

1744
02:02:01,155 --> 02:02:02,058
Will do.
