Hello

0:00

and welcome to the Oxventure D&D podcast.

0:02

It's a D&D podcast sometimes where

0:04

we talk about episodes of Oxventure. I'm

0:07

Jane, I play Prudence the Tiefling Warlock when we're

0:09

playing D&D, but when we're playing Deadlands

0:11

like right now I play Garnet Munroe

0:14

and I'm joined today by Andy. Welcome back Andy.

0:16

Hello, thanks for having me back. I'm Andy, I

0:19

am in Oxventure but also in Deadlands

0:21

where I run it. Where you're the Marshal.

0:24

Yeah, Marshal. That's me. Right,

0:26

today we're listening to a

0:28

fresh new episode of Deadlands and

0:30

it's called 40 Times a Killer

0:33

Part 2. So it is the

0:35

second and final part of last week's

0:38

Deadlands adventure, caper. Yeah, Edie

0:40

and Silas are

0:43

in the sanatorium and

0:45

heading up to the treatment area to find out

0:47

what mysterious things are going on in

0:49

this strange hospital.

0:51

Indeed, but

0:54

first things and important things first,

0:56

I need you to review the Starbucks, what was it called?

0:59

The oat apple crisp ice milk

1:01

latte.

1:02

Wait, the

1:05

apple crisp oat milk shake

1:07

and espresso. It sounds like a bowl

1:10

of breakfast cereal. It does, doesn't it? It was nice,

1:12

it was very seasonally

1:15

appropriate. It was the kind

1:18

of subtle fruitiness to it which

1:20

goes quite well with coffee and the kind of like,

1:23

you know how oat milk is quite creamy. Sure.

1:27

So you get like a layer of that and then you shake it up and you've got

1:29

a nice sort of creamy, apple-y, coffee kind

1:31

of taste to it. It's very, yeah, very

1:33

seasonally appropriate. Although it was, we

1:35

were in Seattle and it was very warm right

1:37

up until the last day when it got all kind of overcast

1:40

and drizzly which felt much more appropriate

1:42

for the Pacific. And then you switched to the pumpkin spices,

1:44

the hot lattes. Yeah, I did have a hot

1:47

one. Ellen was on the pumpkin spice chai

1:49

all week so, you know, she got straight

1:51

on. Does it taste different in Seattle?

1:54

You know, the birthplace

1:56

of Starbucks. I mean, not really. Starbucks

1:59

is the same everywhere, isn't it? I've never been to Seattle,

2:01

incredibly, somehow, never made it. Oh, you love

2:03

it, it's great. Next time, next

2:05

time. Did you have a nice time at PAX? Yes,

2:08

yeah, it was good. It's a good show. It's kind

2:11

of split out across the city in a way that

2:13

PAX East isn't. So there's two

2:16

different convention halls, a lot

2:18

of the panels take place in nearby hotels and stuff.

2:21

So you're constantly sort of leaving the venue

2:23

and heading outside and walking across the streets

2:25

and stuff, which I actually, I quite like. Some people

2:27

complain about it not being all in one place, but I find

2:29

it's quite nice to get outside and see

2:31

the sky. You

2:32

can get more of a sense of the city, the location.

2:35

Exactly, and all the vendors,

2:38

the food and drink places inside, don't

2:40

get us overwhelmed. You can pop out and get a coffee or

2:42

things like that. It's nice. And

2:44

Seattle's a great city. I really like it there. So

2:47

it's a good chance to just pop your head outside

2:49

and take in the Pacific Northwest. I saw you did

2:51

your little Twin Peaks... Yeah,

2:54

I dragged everyone with me to North

2:57

Bend and Snook Almee Falls. Not on Marge,

2:59

that's what I'm going for. Yeah, sorry, tell me about it. Yeah,

3:01

well, it's just it's where they filmed Twin

3:03

Peaks. So the hotel that is the great northern in

3:05

Twin Peaks is up there, overlooking Snook Almee

3:08

Falls. There's a nice little hike

3:10

you can do from the top of the falls down to the bottom

3:13

where there's a sort of hydroelectric and water treatment

3:15

climb down there. Did you hike? Yeah, it

3:17

was only about 20 minutes. It takes

3:19

you about 20 minutes to walk down, about 25 to walk back up, because

3:21

it's quite steep. OK.

3:22

Yeah, it's nice.

3:24

A lot of trees, a lot of Douglas furs around

3:26

there, named after you, I presume. My

3:29

boys, my furry boys. And

3:31

then the diner from Twin Peaks, the Double R. That's

3:34

in a nearby town called North Bend, which

3:38

is, yeah, it's a great little diner. Just

3:41

a nice sort of

3:42

mountainous foresty town up there. Yeah, I saw pictures of

3:44

you folks at the diner, and

3:48

I'm always surprised by how like, un-Twin Peaks-y

3:50

it is. Obviously, it looks

3:52

like it did, but it

3:54

doesn't look like they've ruthlessly exploited their Twin Peaks.

3:57

Well, you can buy a lot

3:57

of Twin Peaks stuff.

3:59

the counter, we'll check it out. I bought a couple

4:02

of Double R Diner coffee mugs and the bathrooms

4:04

are really Twin Peaks-y. Okay. Yeah,

4:07

towards the bathroom there's a whole wall covered in like

4:09

pictures from the show and mock-ups

4:12

like

4:13

the thing in the show where they were objecting

4:15

to the ghost wood development and things like that, a lot

4:18

of flyers and things like that. Pictures

4:20

of Bob the Killer.

4:21

Oh well, well in that case I retract my earlier statement

4:23

about not having ruthlessly exploited their...

4:26

It's like trying to have the best of both worlds. It's trying to

4:28

be a sort of like popular local diner but

4:30

also for the weirdos that come in it's like well

4:32

over to the back of the restaurant if you want to go and be weird you can

4:34

do it over there.

4:35

So you get a nice cross-section of customers. Yeah

4:37

exactly. Well it's the same with the hotel because the hotel

4:40

is

4:40

both an incredibly upscale spa hotel

4:43

and a location from Twin Peaks so the people staying

4:45

there are generally

4:46

pretty much 50-50 either like fancy people

4:49

on a spa, vacation or... I

4:51

remember you stayed there yeah. Yeah or

4:53

like rabid Twin Peaks fans like me.

4:55

Yeah. And also they do a bunch of like

4:58

bee themed merchandise. Well they have their own yeah if

5:00

they make their own honey they have their own apiary.

5:02

So something for everyone. Something for

5:04

everyone for bee themed fans

5:07

but also for people who like obscure

5:10

well not that obscure but surreal 90s

5:13

television shows.

5:13

Yeah cult hit TV

5:16

shows. I remember

5:19

when Twin Peaks was on like

5:21

I guess it must have been a repeat but I must have been very little

5:23

and I was absolutely mystified and

5:26

terrified and I didn't know what I was watching

5:28

so.

5:29

Well yeah I think that's everyone's response. Yeah.

5:31

It's not meant for children.

5:34

No that is true. No it's true. Okay

5:36

well shall we listen to 40

5:38

times a killer potter and

5:40

then have a little chat about it on the other side. Sounds

5:43

good. Cool

5:43

all right listen up everyone here comes

5:46

your Deadlands. Deadlands

5:49

takes place in the weird west a treacherous

5:52

frontier where legends are born and nightmares

5:54

are re-oiled. Here five

5:56

wild cards come together to seek fortune,

5:59

justice and

5:59

revenge and what awaits

6:02

them in the treatment area.

6:16

Hello and welcome back to Oxventure Presents

6:18

Deadlands. I'm Andy and I will be marshalling

6:21

today the game and my players here

6:23

are on my right. Please introduce

6:25

yourself, starting with you there, Silas.

6:27

I am Mike and I will be playing Silas Flit.

6:30

I'm Ellen and I will be playing Evie

6:33

Ballantyne. This episode

6:35

6:54

Mountain Gaming for their support. It's

6:56

that clinking.

6:57

Ooh, that's going to

6:59

hurt. Oops.

7:02

Oh no, I shot myself in the foot. Yeah,

7:05

you take two wounds, Silas. And

7:08

me and Jill. You quietly pass away. No,

7:11

so we rejoin Edie and Silas

7:14

after a

7:15

pretty rough few hours, I would say. So

7:19

in the last episode, you travelled to

7:21

the town of Sublimity Falls on

7:24

the trail of Daisy DuCrow, the next

7:26

target

7:27

on Victoria's List. Once

7:29

you arrived there, you discovered a

7:31

Hobbs End Sanatorium, which is a sort

7:34

of high-end hospital for extremely wealthy folks.

7:37

What

7:37

happened then? Why don't you tell the audience?

7:40

Well, we stealthily

7:42

worked our way in and then

7:44

we, you know, by disguising ourselves and

7:47

then with a lot of arm-waving, Silas's

7:51

understanding of what a fancy person is fairly

7:54

far removed from what an actual fancy person is. And

7:56

we got right up to the point where we had to pay the bill for

7:58

the hospital and then... And then it just turned

8:00

into a big fight with a gross Poxwalker,

8:03

which I was not familiar with before we recorded

8:05

that episode, and I'm now pretty

8:08

sad that I'm familiar with it afterwards. I was

8:10

unfamiliar with anything, yeah. But we killed

8:12

it, but at a cost.

8:14

Yeah, so you both fought Dr. Harker, the

8:18

former head of medicine here at the sanatorium,

8:22

who it turns out was doing nefarious

8:25

things in the town, and was in fact, as

8:27

you say, a Poxwalker. So

8:29

you both took a wound in that fight.

8:33

Edie, you failed your vigor

8:35

check. So in fact,

8:37

you sort of touched the wound, and it

8:39

feels kind of hot, and you actually

8:41

cough a few

8:43

times. There's something not

8:45

quite right. Your

8:48

chest feels tight. My

8:50

chest feels tight. Anything else? Any

8:52

other symptoms? But

8:54

I just... It's

8:57

very hot. It feels like it's burning

8:59

up and could spread. What

9:01

was on that sword? Can

9:04

we have a look around the room and see if... I mean, like,

9:06

this is a medical office, right? Are there any, like... Is

9:09

there any, like, lotions and potions that

9:12

might pop up? Yeah, I mean,

9:14

do either of you have the healing skill?

9:17

Let me tell you. I have a single D4 in healing.

9:23

Okay. Same. I

9:25

was like, just... Doctrine stuff. Okay,

9:28

well, you're not... But that means you're not untrained. Not

9:30

untrained. You have the skill in healing. All right, so you can have

9:33

a go at healing yourself.

9:35

Silas is used to patch himself up when he's

9:37

been out chasing criminals. Yeah,

9:41

I'm going to roll as well. Four. I've

9:43

got a four on my healing. You've got a four on

9:45

your four? Yeah. So that's a... So I can...

9:47

I've got a two on my four. And a one. And a three on

9:49

my six. So it's five altogether. So

9:52

normally you would subtract one from

9:54

a healing roll if you don't have a basic

9:56

first aid kit or something to hand, but you are in

9:58

a doctor's office. So I think... We

10:01

can assume that there's the supplies you need so you got

10:03

one success. I got nothing. You got

10:05

nothing. Okay, so Edie you can remove your

10:07

wound. Silas you remain

10:10

wounded.

10:11

Can I try and help out Silas? Can

10:13

I give it another go? You can. Each

10:15

attempt at healing does take 10 minutes.

10:18

So you've been here 10 minutes

10:20

already with the exploded doctor. I'm

10:24

not sure it's good to be in this room. Same rhythm

10:26

as this guy, fine. You

10:28

can have a go if you want.

10:29

Silas would you like me to try? Give

10:32

it another go. I've been much obliged to you.

10:37

Oh, that's six. And

10:40

a four. So ten. Okay, yeah, okay.

10:43

So remove your wound as

10:45

well. You have been in here

10:47

for 20 minutes now. Patching yourself

10:49

up with various lotions and potions.

10:52

Yep. We've got the keys

10:54

to the treatment room. Yeah. During the

10:56

time that this is happening,

10:59

there's a sort of rudimentary

11:02

electric light system here in the hospital. And

11:05

as your sort of winding goes around

11:08

Edie's arm and you're sort of patching up your

11:10

shoulder, you hear a sort of whine

11:13

run through the building and you see the lights

11:15

above you sort of start to flicker and... The whining's

11:17

just me as I'm patching

11:18

up. Oh! The

11:20

hiking twiney is coming from Silas. The electric lights,

11:23

however, do dim and flicker and they

11:25

seem to flick off and then back on again.

11:27

There's something is clearly

11:29

happening. And then you hear the

11:31

sort of bing bong thing come over the speaking

11:33

tube again

11:34

and you hear a voice

11:37

come over the intercom and

11:40

it says, Disposal team to

11:42

the treatment area, please. Disposal

11:45

team to the treatment area, please.

11:48

This is Director Ducro. Thank you for your time.

11:51

Bing bong. How did that feel about

11:53

becoming a disposal team? Ah,

11:57

you know, it's a slightly different direction

11:59

of my life. career but I can give it a

12:01

go. Okay let's um

12:04

yeah let's head over to the uh treatment

12:06

area and see what's see what's going on. Um

12:10

okay so uh yeah you're

12:12

leaving the office of uh Dr

12:14

Harker are you gonna just leave him there on the car? Yeah

12:16

I'm gonna lock the door behind me. Yeah see if we can lock

12:18

the door. We've got the keys. Yeah

12:21

he would have the key to his own office that's fine so

12:23

yeah that's not a problem. Um you'd

12:25

lock yeah you lock the the

12:27

office door. Um because he locked us in right

12:30

so he would have to use that key. Yeah exactly. All

12:32

right so you're heading up the stairs to.

12:34

Yeah somewhat stealthily I would say like

12:36

we're trying to be quiet. I'm still wearing my fancy

12:38

clothes so might we

12:40

might not be immediately made. Yeah at

12:43

a distance perhaps but um. Also

12:44

I would like to note that I've reloaded

12:47

my guns. Oh yeah I'm sure

12:49

I would have done that during the yeah

12:51

during the healing process. So it makes sense

12:54

makes sense uh you're on the combat so that's fine. Yeah

12:56

got the six shooters back

12:58

to full fine.

13:00

Yeah maintain stealth please.

13:02

Okay cool so you're heading up um the

13:04

stairs to the treatment area. So

13:07

yeah use the key marked

13:09

treatment area you unlock the uh the door

13:12

they sort of swing open. And

13:15

this part of the hospital it seems a little

13:18

less fancy than the sort of downstairs area. So

13:20

downstairs we've all very kind of clean clinical

13:22

white with um dog wood

13:24

and brass and uh

13:26

very very nice and you

13:28

know expensive looking. Up here it's

13:31

a bit more dilapidated isn't

13:33

the word but sort of unloved I

13:36

think is uh it's the way to describe it. Look

13:38

at that. I mean

13:40

it's real Frankenstein's lab. It's very dark there

13:43

are sort of these rudimentary lights sort

13:45

of strung along the corridor. It's slightly too

13:47

far intervals to provide enough light

13:50

sort of dim light

13:51

um and you can see different rooms

13:54

along this corridor there's a sort of checkerboard

13:56

of white and black tiles on the floor. Okay

13:59

you see these doors and they're

13:59

There are observation windows

14:01

and they have signs above them, say

14:04

like treat room, alpha treat room,

14:06

room, beta, treatment room, gamma,

14:09

etc. At the far end

14:11

of the corridor you can see a

14:13

couple of rooms that have sort

14:15

of light flowing

14:17

out of them as if the lights are sort

14:19

of on in those rooms. From

14:22

the distance you can just about make out treatment

14:24

room psi and omega.

14:26

And the

14:29

treatment room psi, one

14:32

on the left, you see two

14:34

people in boiler suits wheeling out

14:36

a gurney and there's a body bag on

14:38

this gurney. They

14:41

wheel it out and they don't turn towards you, they

14:43

go the other way, there's some double doors at the end that

14:45

they take this

14:47

body bag through. Is

14:50

it possible to look through any

14:52

of the observation things without

14:54

making a horrible noise? Do

14:56

they feel like they're sticky, like they're going to make a horrible

14:58

creaking noise? I don't know, Silas,

15:01

why don't you make me a stealth check? Alright,

15:03

yes we'll find out. I have a

15:06

six in stealth, that's fine. Again,

15:09

used to hunt in bandits.

15:12

Yeah, I got four and a three. Four and

15:15

a three, okay so one success. So yeah, you sort of very

15:17

gingerly, the

15:19

door is on a sort of swing hinge. So you sort

15:21

of push it and it

15:23

goes inwards, there isn't a perceptible creak.

15:25

Right, right. The lights are off in this

15:27

room, it's quite dim, quite dark. Can't really

15:30

see much, are you going to go in? No,

15:33

no I was just going to use the observation window to be

15:35

honest with you. Yeah

15:37

I mean I'll have a quick look around, does it feel like there's

15:39

a presence in there at all? No,

15:42

I don't think so, it seems, I mean the light is off

15:45

and yeah it seems sort of dark, it

15:47

seems like maybe this room hasn't been

15:49

used for a while. Is there any apparatus in there at all?

15:51

Yeah so going in, there

15:53

is like a hospital bed, there's

15:55

sort of trays of surgical equipment,

15:57

things like that but everything seems to be covered in a sort of thing.

15:59

thick layer of dust. Huh, interesting, okay.

16:03

Doesn't look like it's been used for a while, yeah.

16:08

I guess we can, should we

16:10

head down the corridor? What

16:12

do you think? I mean, see where they're disposing these

16:14

things, these poor folks.

16:18

I don't think they were patients.

16:21

Do we think to crows in inside,

16:24

in the treatment room? I

16:27

think so, I think so. Do we wanna

16:30

go straight towards

16:32

the disposal there?

16:33

Or do we wanna look

16:37

at the disposal and see what's happening? We can

16:39

have a look.

16:42

Yeah, okay. I guess we're sort of,

16:44

again, advancing down the corridor, cautiously.

16:47

Okay. At least we know there's a dark room that we

16:49

could hide in if we need to book

16:51

it. Yeah. Okay,

16:54

so you're gonna proceed along the corridor. This

16:57

is the emptiest hospital you've ever

17:00

seen. Right. There's no

17:02

one perceptibly on this floor. The rooms

17:04

are all empty. If

17:06

you peer in through the windows, it looks like

17:08

the medical equipment inside has been out

17:11

of use for quite some time. I mean, some of these things

17:14

in here are sort of

17:16

discredited medicine that doesn't, it

17:19

isn't even used anymore. There's a phrenology

17:21

head in one of them. There's a sort of, it's-

17:26

Wait, is it discredited in our time? Yeah, even

17:28

by this time. Even by this time, it's

17:30

sort of been discredited as

17:32

bad science. I'm just thinking about cocaine and

17:34

opium. Yeah,

17:38

so you know, it's old if it's not in use anymore.

17:42

So yeah, this seems like sort of relics

17:45

from a kind of- Yeah, yeah. As

17:48

you make your way down. But

17:52

as you make your way down, the light

17:54

from the treatment rooms down at the end sort

17:56

of starts to spill out more into the corridor. It

17:59

seems like-

17:59

end of the corridor that's where the action

18:02

happens. The action happens when people frequent. Alright.

18:06

Silas. Yeah. I

18:09

have a feeling that

18:12

not all of this might be medicine

18:14

so just keep an open mind

18:17

as to what they might do here. Is it

18:19

the zombie guy that tipped you off? I

18:21

mean that was part of it but

18:24

it's the fact that so little of

18:26

the medical equipment is being used.

18:30

We should approach cautiously. Yeah.

18:34

Um, yeah. I think we need

18:36

to be super deeper careful. Yeah.

18:39

Another coughing fit from... Oh no! Oh

18:41

no. That's why

18:43

I kind of sounded a little bit

18:47

like I'm zen. Now

18:49

it's out just then. Okay,

18:52

so you're continuing towards the end of the corridor. Yeah, I

18:54

think so. As you start to approach treatment

18:56

rooms, psi and omega,

18:58

you hear the rattling of a gurney

19:01

sort of coming. So the corridor ends in

19:03

a sort of T corridor. There are double doors at the end.

19:06

But you start to hear the rattling approach

19:08

of a gurney and two

19:10

doctors. Okay. Possibly,

19:13

orderly as you can't really tell from just the voices.

19:16

Are there any other empty rooms nearby that we can... Yeah,

19:18

they're all empty apart from these last two.

19:20

Okay. So we should probably...

19:22

We should have... I think so too. Quick.

19:28

Yeah, I think it's probably worth

19:30

us doing that. Yeah, so you're going to duck

19:32

into one of these. Yeah, just as quietly

19:34

as possible. Yeah,

19:37

just both of you make me a stealth roll just to see

19:39

how quietly you do this. Yeah.

19:42

That's a

19:44

three and a three. I might spend one

19:46

of my refreshed bennies on that. Yes, it's not

19:48

to mention I refreshed your bennies because you had

19:50

a hard, brutal fight

19:52

and I'm nice. Yeah. That

19:55

is a... Oh, I'm going to also... Two and

19:58

a three. Two and

19:58

a three. I'm gonna

20:01

spend another penny. Okay, now, am I

20:03

gonna spend another penny? Four. I

20:05

am gonna spend another penny. Gambling, kids.

20:08

Yeah, I got four. I got four. Okay, so you've

20:10

got a success with a raise, Edie? Is that right? I

20:13

just break those successes. I got one raise. Okay,

20:16

yeah, the both of you, so quickly

20:18

and quietly, you sort of

20:20

push open the swinging door. Edie

20:24

dashes into the room, and then just before

20:26

these people round the corner, she grabs you and

20:28

pulls you into the room, and

20:31

the door quietly with an imperceptible

20:34

noise swings shut, and you are able

20:37

now to sort of... The glass is not one way

20:39

you can see through it. Okay. So

20:42

you watch as

20:44

these two men in white

20:45

coats, they wheel... It's a hospital bed, but it's

20:48

sort of placed into the upright position, and

20:51

in the bed is Senator Julius

20:53

Waxman. Okay. He's

20:55

alert. He's sort of chatting to the...

20:57

Like an elfie. Well, he still looks ill. He's

21:00

sort of coughing, but he's chatting, and he's like,

21:03

And you're sure it's safe? And they're like,

21:08

Mr. Waxman, you'll be fit as a fiddle

21:10

within five minutes. You won't regret this. This

21:13

will be the best 10,000 you ever spent. Well, it better

21:15

be. It's bloody expensive. So

21:19

they wheel him into treatment

21:23

room Omega, and

21:25

the door sort of swings shut

21:27

behind them. So, treatment

21:29

room Omega, okay. Do

21:32

we think that's where the crow is? I think

21:35

possibly. I think she's the one. A

21:38

minister in the treatment. A minister in the

21:40

treatment, exactly. Okay. You

21:43

can hear sort of low voices coming from inside. Yeah,

21:45

yeah, yeah. So the two doctors have gone in there with...

21:48

With Waxman, yeah.

21:50

Is there an observation window in this door?

21:54

Do you know why they're looking... You can't

21:56

see it from here. It's sort of... Yeah, across

21:58

there. It's down at the end. It's across. from you so

22:00

you can't see in. I'm gonna assume

22:02

that given that they've just gone in they're probably gonna

22:05

be in there for at least a little while getting

22:07

him sorted so I'm gonna sneak a look

22:10

through the observation window and see if I can see anything.

22:12

Okay yeah give me a notice roll.

22:15

Yeah okay. Yeah

22:17

actually I want

22:19

a stealth and a notice roll.

22:22

Okay stealth to do it quietly notice to actually see

22:24

anything. Yeah. Well I've

22:26

got a six on the stealth roll. Nice.

22:28

So I'll roll that again and

22:30

a three. Okay so nice and quiet now

22:32

give me the notice roll. Okay here we go that

22:35

is a three

22:37

and a one. Three and a one. Okay are

22:40

you just staying in the room immediately?

22:41

I

22:44

don't know whether yeah no I might give it a look.

22:46

I would say that the stealth roll is good for sliding

22:49

the door. Yeah.

22:52

Allowing so you can just pass through without having to do the stealth

22:55

roll. ED and I will need a notice roll. Okay.

23:01

That is a five. Okay

23:03

success. Alright so yeah

23:07

so Silas your as you go through

23:09

the door it does unfortunately

23:11

clip against the brim of your hat and it knocks it down over your

23:13

eyes and you can't see anything.

23:16

But luckily ED is also

23:19

there.

23:21

Who turned out the lights? Oh

23:26

so yeah ED you look into the room and

23:28

what you can see is this. It's

23:31

a treatment room much like the others that you've

23:33

seen but all the all

23:36

the beds and things have been taken out

23:38

and dominating the room are these two large

23:40

they look like glass cylinders

23:42

but

23:43

they have a sort of padded back

23:46

to them. Looks like a sort of like

23:48

you would get in sort of a captain's chair

23:50

like a leather chair that

23:52

kind of upholstery along the back. There's

23:54

sort of brass trimming around

23:57

the top and the bottom and the two tubes are linked with

23:59

a sort of flexible.

23:59

tube made of some kind

24:02

of metal now in the

24:04

right hand tube you

24:06

look and there is a man in

24:08

there and this is the sickest

24:10

looking man you have ever seen is

24:13

covered in in boils and he's

24:15

got a pallid sickly complexion he looks

24:17

a little like dr. Harker

24:19

did when he was not

24:21

you know all poxy not disguised

24:24

but this he's not

24:26

he seems not weaker he looks like

24:29

defeated and unhappy and

24:31

basic he's barely conscious in

24:34

the left the left hand tube is empty

24:36

but as you watch

24:38

the men in the white coats they sort of open

24:41

the door and they start to usher senator

24:43

waxman into the left hand cylinder so

24:46

that's what you see currently happens is is do

24:48

crow there at all no this is just

24:51

these four figures in the room

24:55

they're taking the sick they've got something

24:58

they're taking the sickness and

25:00

they're giving it to that poor guy there okay

25:06

anything I mean I don't think

25:08

we can do much right now I think we just find

25:10

a crow and end this quickly okay

25:15

so yeah

25:17

waxman gets into the into the left hand tube

25:19

they they close it and then

25:21

one of the men in the white coats goes

25:23

over and he pulls a lever and you

25:26

see again the sort of the power starts to

25:28

flicker the lights dim and sort of ping the

25:31

light bulbs and

25:34

that's when you hear the screaming the man

25:36

on the right is suddenly being racked with this

25:39

what looks like unbearable pain whereas

25:42

before he was very kind of woozy and

25:44

out of it now he's he's fully alert and you can see

25:46

his eyes are wide open

25:47

he's screaming screaming

25:50

he's screaming and senator

25:52

waxman as this is happening it's it's just it seems

25:54

to be a slow process but it starts

25:56

you starting to sort of stand up a little

25:59

more

25:59

Little more straight You

26:02

know he's making me extremely uncomfortable

26:06

Yeah, so this is this is what's happening it seems to be

26:10

You know it's not an instant process, so it's still going

26:12

on and

26:13

You're gonna just you're gonna sit there and watch this or what are you gonna? Do

26:16

there any like power cables or anything

26:19

like running through the corridor? Not

26:22

through the corridor. No the corridors quite sparse. I

26:24

think if there were anything powering the machine it would all be

26:26

within the room

26:30

Ahhh! I

26:33

want to do something but I don't know if we go in there

26:35

is that gonna

26:38

I mean we could just go in so how heavily armed are these doctors

26:40

gonna be? Yeah, can I can I see

26:43

properly how? Yeah, give me

26:45

a notice wrong. Yeah to scope out

26:47

these these men in white

26:49

clothes

26:51

Okay five

26:55

Okay, yeah, you look at these these two they're

26:57

dressed in hospital scrubs and

26:59

coats They do not appear to be armed okay I would

27:01

also

27:01

like to do another notice check

27:04

with a mirror and look in the

27:06

mirror and check out their reflections and

27:08

see if they are

27:09

also Yes Just

27:11

a double check Okay, yeah, yeah,

27:14

yeah Okay,

27:17

yeah four okay. No

27:19

these are regular looking dudes. Okay. We

27:21

gotta do something then We can take these

27:23

guys yeah We've got the

27:25

cover of the screaming right like so I feel like

27:28

if there's any way to stealthily

27:30

attack people Is there like an advantage to

27:33

attacking stealthily? Yeah, so they

27:35

would both be distracted which means they were subtract

27:37

two from their roles Okay, they're

27:39

both looking at the tubes and they have their back

27:41

to the door. Okay

27:43

Well, I'm gonna

27:45

sneak up and I'm gonna look for something heavy

27:48

to clump them over the head with Or

27:50

at least one of them Yeah,

27:52

so there's two doctors or other for two

27:55

doctors. So it's four people in the room to them. Yes Yeah,

27:57

two of them are in tubes. Yeah Yeah,

28:00

if you take one and take the other, we try and do

28:02

this. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

28:06

I want you to both make me

28:07

fighting rolls then. Mm-hmm. I

28:09

want to go fighting. We got

28:11

D6 and fighting. Uh... I

28:14

want to do it. I do have a D6. I

28:16

did think this was really good. I did

28:18

not roll with the test. Neither

28:23

did I. Okay.

28:27

So, you're rushing into the room. Yeah.

28:30

Looking to punch these guys. I look for something heavy and I get a

28:32

bedpan for some reason.

28:32

Yeah, and I've got one of those like kidney

28:35

bowl things. Yeah. Just

28:37

to go... Pull. But... Both

28:40

miss. Okay. We

28:42

both miss and we end up high-fiving. They're fighting

28:44

the bedpan. Okay. Well,

28:47

this is very surprising to these two...

28:50

to these two orderlies. They

28:54

don't know what to do. They're not armed and they're not, you know,

28:56

here for a fight. They're like...

28:59

So, there's a brief moment of panic

29:01

and they're like, who are you? What do you

29:03

want? Stop the machine. Can't stop the machine.

29:06

We're in the middle of the transfer. I

29:08

think you should. What

29:10

happened if we stopped it now? Okay,

29:13

intimidation roll. Oh,

29:15

God, I don't have intimidation. I

29:18

have persuasion. It

29:22

was going to be persuasion until he said, you better listen to

29:24

the lady.

29:25

Oh, man.

29:27

Well, I failed that one. Okay.

29:30

All right. So, you got two... I

29:32

got two fours. Two fours. Okay. I'm

29:35

going to roll for... And I have... I don't

29:37

have intimidation. So, do I minus

29:39

two from that? You minus two. So, I've got

29:41

two. You've got two.

29:43

Okay. Okay, one of them rolled a one. Yeah. The

29:46

other rolled a three. So, one of them is

29:49

intimidated. Silas, are you going to try and... Yeah. The

29:52

other one? I'm going to look at the other one. Who looks like his spirit

29:54

hasn't been broken yet? Okay.

29:57

Not a meta game. And I'm going to say, I

29:59

said you...

29:59

better listen to the lady okay

30:02

what have you wrong I will

30:04

roll well I got a four

30:07

and

30:11

four okay yep that's a success as well

30:14

even though I don't have it intimidation oh

30:16

you subtracted to you know that's without

30:18

subtracting to so I guess it's a two in a two two

30:21

in a two all right one of them is still unintimidated

30:26

these guys it looks to his looks to

30:28

his friend who's like okay okay okay and his friend

glass tube. Yeah, and he's not unconscious. Okay,

32:36

I'm gonna shut the tree All right, and does it have

32:38

a throw into reverse thing?

32:43

Reversing no, I think you would have to swap them around

32:47

but yeah the the orderlies sort

32:49

of seeing all this and they're like I Don't

32:52

think this is about their pay grade. Yeah So

32:54

they're like they're just sort of backing off at the moment What

32:57

would you like to do? I'm gonna can I just like

33:00

jam the tube with something like the handle?

33:13

Mr. Crow, right

33:16

I'm just thinking if we put her Just

33:20

33:37

They sort of look at each other Director

33:42

yeah the director. She's

33:44

down in the down in the basement. I

33:47

know what he go down there Why is that?

33:50

Directed the crow says no disallow down there

33:54

We're not gonna. We're not gonna disobey

33:56

direct order from directed the crow. Why what

33:58

might happen? Well, I

34:01

mean...

34:01

Did they

34:03

gesture at the chief with the

34:05

sick eye? I mean,

34:07

I've heard rumors. The

34:11

person in the other tube, by the way now, is sort of conscious

34:13

of my weekly... I

34:15

saw blinking and they don't look in a good way. But

34:18

they are sort of awake. Okay.

34:22

Um... Yeah.

34:27

If I were to disturb

34:30

Director Crowe, to Crowe, how

34:32

would I get down there?

34:35

Well, there's a door... And

34:39

it sort of looks at the other one. It's like...

34:42

The one who was not convinced earlier is like this. It's

34:44

like... So,

34:47

yeah,

34:48

he's not feeling great about this. He's

34:50

like... Uh,

34:53

no. I

34:55

told you where it is. It's not

34:58

worth my life to tell you how to get down there. Not

35:00

worth your lives.

35:03

Intimidation. Um,

35:08

I really should have packed intimidation,

35:11

generally, on my cheap... You're

35:14

gonna go around intimidating people. Yeah,

35:15

you're an angry guy. You're gonna need

35:17

it.

35:20

And that is a 3 and

35:22

a 2 minus a 2. So,

35:25

it's not working. I'm gonna try and stay. So,

35:28

we are here with some very

35:31

important news for Duchro.

35:34

And it cannot

35:36

be heard by anyone else but her.

35:40

And it's imperative that

35:43

we see her immediately and

35:45

it's for her own safety. There

35:47

are some people after her.

35:50

And we need to tell her the details.

35:53

Okay, so you're talking to the... The

35:56

one who's persuaded by... Um, yeah, okay.

35:59

Let's, we'll let that ride. So

36:03

he says, okay,

36:05

I shouldn't be telling you this, but the

36:08

painting in the foyer is behind the painting.

36:13

Door down to the basement. Thank you, can't.

36:16

Thank you, sir. I will remember

36:18

this. He's all blushes.

36:21

He's all blushes. Come on. If

36:24

he wasn't a terrible person, this would be adorable. I

36:27

will remember this. I think quietly in my

36:29

head. I'm saying

36:31

it nicely, but in my head, I'm like, I will kill

36:33

you later. Okay.

36:37

Yeah, so you're in the room with this orderly,

36:41

the man in the right hand tube, Senator Waxman

36:43

in the left hand tube. That's

36:45

all the people in this room. Yeah. So what

36:47

do we do? So we want to get to the painting, but do we want to leave

36:49

these two orderlies here? Two orderlies.

36:52

Two orderlies? There only appears to be one orderly.

36:56

Suddenly you hear, a

36:59

door slams down from the ceiling. He

37:01

was intimidated.

37:03

I think he was unintimidated. So

37:07

he, yes, you look around

37:09

the room and you realize that the other orderly has in fact

37:11

slipped out of the room while you were talking to the other one. And

37:14

some sort of security alarm

37:16

has been triggered. All right.

37:19

So are we secured in this room now?

37:22

I mean, the door is down.

37:24

Right. There's a sort of metal

37:27

shutter that's dropped from me. Oh,

37:30

so we're trapped in. So you're in the room.

37:32

I mean, well, I don't know.

37:33

Are you? Okay. I

37:36

want to do a notice, look

37:38

around, see if I can find vents,

37:41

anything. There's that speaker system. Let's

37:44

see if anything.

37:44

We can't do the speaking tube. Just

37:46

see if there's anything. Okay. Do

37:49

me a notice roll. I guess I'll do a notice roll

37:51

as well. Okay, so we've got a six and a four.

37:53

Yeah. Okay.

37:55

I saw something. I

37:58

got a full.

38:00

Okay, so you look around the room you do

38:02

see there is sort of a

38:04

Sort of metal air vent that

38:06

is running along the back of the room and seems

38:09

to lead out of the room You

38:11

also notice the man in the right hand tube is sort of

38:13

weakly banging on the glass saying

38:15

please please

38:17

please

38:19

And senator waxman is still unconscious

38:21

and the other orderly is sort of combing

38:23

his hair and

38:28

We don't we really don't have time to like drag

38:31

waxman into the other tube and Do

38:34

we I don't know how long would it take

38:37

the alarm is going but there doesn't seem to be any Great

38:39

urgency doesn't say yeah, no one is like you don't hear

38:41

footsteps doesn't seem to have

38:43

running like I said It is quite a sparsely populated

38:46

hospital. All right, you know what?

38:48

Should we swap them? Yeah, let's just sort them. Mm-hmm

38:50

I'm

38:52

not gonna touch the Old

38:54

guy because like you may be severely

38:57

infectious. I'm gonna open the tube and like

39:00

Yeah,

39:04

yeah do a quick so true, okay. Yeah, that's

39:07

yeah, that's pretty

39:09

straightforward I'm gonna make you roll for that and you're

39:11

gonna throw the switch Okay.

39:14

Yeah, you throw the switch and you watch the

39:16

process you saw earlier basically in reverse,

39:18

right? But the The man

39:20

who was sort of emaciated and wizened

39:23

and covered in boils and stuff He starts to

39:25

it's you know, it takes a couple of minutes. Um, but

39:28

you basically watch him Just

39:30

dramatically come back to life.

39:32

He sort of straightens up his skin clears up, right? He

39:35

looks less gaunt whereas

39:37

Waxman Goes the

39:40

other direction. He's unconscious. So he's not screaming but

39:42

it's it's like watching a melting candle

39:49

It's not great Yeah

39:55

There's a sort of ping sounds like

39:58

microwave just finished

39:59

The man steps out of the left

40:02

hand shoe and he's like, oh

40:06

my goodness, thank you so much. That's

40:09

good. I'd like to also jump

40:11

in the shoe and

40:12

try to do it again. Yeah, yeah,

40:14

go for it. All right. Let's hit

40:16

the switch. This

40:19

takes less time. Yeah.

40:21

Yeah, Edie, as you go in there,

40:24

yeah, you feel sort of

40:27

the wound on your arm that you bandaged earlier

40:29

and was feeling better. It just completely closes up,

40:32

stops feeling hot. And the persistent cough that had

40:34

just started has cleared up. suddenly

40:36

your chest doesn't feel tight anymore. And

40:39

the puddle in the other tube just bubbles a bit, presumably.

40:42

This is the straw

40:44

that the wax comes back because yeah,

40:46

he's just, his

40:49

face slows off his skull. And

40:53

yeah,

40:54

a bright pink skeleton,

40:57

sort of just peeks forward and collapses

41:00

against the glass. So yeah, I think

41:02

Senator Waxman is all used up. Yeah.

41:05

Waxman melted like a candle. Yeah.

41:08

Ironic

41:09

death. There you go. Yeah.

41:15

Didn't see that one coming. I didn't see it. Right.

41:20

Who are you and can you fight? My

41:24

name is Robert. I

41:26

was, I lived in

41:28

town. I was a locksmith, but-

41:32

You saw skills. Well, not

41:35

yet. You'd have thought so, but one night I was,

41:38

I was asleep in my home and

41:42

someone crawled in through the window. He's

41:45

overpowered me, had some sort of mask on. Next

41:48

thing I knew I woke up, I was here in the hospital

41:50

and they would bring in these

41:53

wealthy, sick men.

41:55

As I'm sure you've realized now, this machine transfers

41:58

the disease from one person to another.

41:59

So I've been

42:02

filled with all the cancers

42:04

and the tuberculosis and the poxes that

42:07

all these wealthy men can afford to have

42:09

taken out of them. They just, they would, they

42:11

called us receptacles. They would dump all this disease

42:14

into us until we were too full to survive. And

42:16

then they just take the bodies down

42:18

the corridor, burn them in the furnace.

42:20

It's, I don't know how long I've been here,

42:23

but thank you so much for saving

42:25

me. You're welcome. I was a death storm.

42:29

But now you can help us. Yes,

42:32

sorry. What would you like? We

42:34

need to get to direct the

42:36

crow. Oh, yeah.

42:39

I don't know where she is. I'm sorry. I never

42:42

saw the director. I just, I hear her on the...

42:45

Well, apparently she's in the basement

42:48

and the entrance is behind the painting

42:50

in the reception.

42:51

I know, and I saw it. Yeah, I've seen

42:53

it. These

42:56

speaking tubes, are

42:58

they literally a series of tubes?

43:01

As far as I'm aware, I mean, I don't know. I've

43:03

just, I see the tubes. Yeah, I'm

43:05

more asking metal, metal wise, but

43:09

presumably they're two way. Like you

43:11

could, if you say something into one of the speaking

43:13

tubes, is it heard throughout the hospital? Maybe.

43:19

I'm going to turn back to the... They're

43:21

sort of, they're not... So

43:24

the ones in the rooms that you've seen are more like

43:26

grills in the water. Okay, they're not like

43:28

a, you know, not focused. Yeah, but

43:30

I mean, if you shouted something into it, it might, you know,

43:33

I don't know. If we can get the orderly

43:35

to request the presence

43:37

of director to crow, she

43:39

might come down here. And

43:43

we could have two ironic

43:46

deaths. We could

43:49

do. Do we

43:49

have anyone else with a disease or would we

43:51

have to pick up that skeleton?

43:55

We put her in, and

43:57

then... I

43:59

don't know. That's the plan. Really the

44:01

bullets. Yeah. Can

44:10

we persuade the orderly to get her down

44:12

here? We

44:16

could do, or do we want to go down to the basement?

44:18

Or is that, do you think? I'll

44:23

try the orderly, and then if it doesn't work,

44:25

we'll find a way past the reception. Excuse

44:30

me, sir. Go up to the... Excuse me, sir.

44:33

What? I didn't get your name. It's

44:35

William. Oh, William. What a

44:37

sweet name. Sweet William, they call

44:39

me. Yeah. He's such a sweet boy. Could

44:44

you, we really need to get

44:48

Duchro to

44:49

here. We need to see her. Would

44:52

you be able to request her to come here

44:54

and help us work out

44:56

what to do with this situation here? Director

44:59

Duchro doesn't come up here. She stays down

45:02

in the basement. That's how it works. Is

45:05

she never on these floors ever? Is

45:07

she only ever in the basement?

45:09

From what I've seen. Is

45:13

there any way she could be persuaded to

45:15

come out? Do a

45:18

persuasion roll, please. More

45:20

persuading. Oh,

45:24

I've got an eight. And

45:28

a six. Okay, yeah, so that's... Wow, big

45:30

success. Stay

45:33

the same. So attractive.

45:37

So pretty. Okay,

45:39

Goose, yeah, that's... Yeah,

45:42

big success. I'll give you a Benny for that. Nice.

45:48

And I'm giving you a Benny mic for your Waxman. Yes, the Waxman

45:50

handle joke. That's great. I

45:53

enjoyed that. Good work. Two

45:55

Benning. Okay, yeah, I mean, he's trying to impress you

45:57

at this point. So he's like...

45:59

Well, yeah, me and Director DeCrow,

46:02

we're, you know, I'm the one that she

46:04

comes to for, you know. Of course. I'm

46:06

kind of her right hand. So reliable. So then

46:08

I... Yes. Yeah, I can... Oh, man,

46:11

and we are sort

46:12

of bangs on the metal. Kind

46:14

of locked down in here. I don't know if you heard this security

46:17

lock down. Yes. Yeah, I

46:19

could try shouting into the speaking

46:21

tube to see if... That would be

46:23

amazing.

46:23

That would be so great.

46:26

Director DeCrow, it's Sweet

46:28

William. Yeah. Please

46:31

come up to treatment room, Omega. For

46:36

normal things. Just

46:38

come up here, please. There

46:41

is a long silence. Then...

46:47

You hear a voice come over. It says, do

46:50

you really think that

46:52

during a security lockdown, I would leave

46:55

my office and come up to the

46:57

treatment room where the security lock

47:00

down was triggered from? Do you

47:02

think I am stupid? The

47:04

voice says. Bing-bong.

47:09

I guess it was a rhetorical

47:11

question. All

47:16

right, fine. All right, how do we override

47:18

this lockdown?

47:22

How big

47:24

are the speaking tubes again? As

47:26

I mentioned when we did the... There's an

47:28

air vent. Just an air vent. Plus, if

47:31

we went in there, should be able to hear everything we were doing.

47:37

So how about these air vents? What do they look like? They're

47:40

large industrial kind of air vents, fine to sort

47:42

of circulate air throughout the different rooms. You

47:45

could probably

47:46

fit in one if you were able to. You'd need to...

47:48

Inhale. Get into them. Well, you need to get

47:50

into them somehow. It's a closed tube,

47:53

so you would need to somehow get your way in. All

47:55

right, probably great. By looking at it, it looks sturdy.

47:58

You don't have to support your weight and it's big enough for you to...

47:59

I think that's plan number

48:02

one isn't it basically? Yeah. All right, I'm gonna

48:04

try and wrench the gray off the front of it to

48:07

get us in. Yeah, okay. Athletics check

48:09

please. Yeah, you got it. You

48:11

got it. That's

48:15

three and a two. Cool,

48:18

so you give it a tug. That's your

48:21

hat falls over your eyes again. The lights

48:23

again. You

48:25

tumble backwards. God damn, who keeps turning

48:27

off the lights? I've got

48:29

like a file. So

48:31

Edie's got a file with her. Like a nail file.

48:34

Like a rasp. Yeah,

48:37

I think just have a little go at some of the...

48:40

Give it a look.

48:42

Watch this guy. Robert.

48:46

Used to break it into places presumably. Do you mind if I call you Barbie?

48:50

That's fine. Well Barbie, could

48:53

you, you know, jimmy this album

48:55

for us? Oh yeah, so the gray is,

48:58

yeah, it's locked let's say to stop people

49:00

getting into it. Robert being

49:02

a locksmith. And

49:04

hail and hearty. Yeah, he doesn't even

49:07

need to roll for that. He does. Yeah,

49:09

he pings open the gray of

49:12

the entrance to the oven. Is there

49:14

anything we can give to Robert to arm himself?

49:17

Like any scalp walls or is there any kind of medical

49:19

equipment in here? No, they've cleared out all

49:21

the sort of actual medical equipment for

49:23

this machine. So there's, yeah,

49:26

there's nothing really, like I said, the orderlies weren't armed.

49:29

Yeah, but... Uh, Barbie? You

49:31

could give him a femur or something. Yeah. Pick

49:34

a bit of the, give the waxman skeleton out.

49:36

I don't think we'll do that.

49:37

Barbie, how are you with a gun

49:40

with a pistol? Oh. Middling.

49:44

Okay, and I just like to rustle up

49:46

again. And I'd like to pull

49:49

out, I've got a Wesandaga

49:51

pistol. Okay. Which

49:53

is the little gun that also has

49:55

a little knife that comes out the middle of it

49:57

when you... Like a baby Gizwold answer. Like you gotta go to

49:59

the...

49:59

And then it goes, like a

50:02

little assassin blade. So

50:05

yeah, I give him that so that he's got

50:06

something. Okay, he's armed.

50:10

All right, so you're gonna go try and get into the vent? Yeah.

50:13

Yep. Yes, please. Okay, so

50:15

how are you doing that? How are you getting? Because it is up on the

50:17

sort of, yeah, if you take a look at the room we're in, it's

50:19

basically running along, so it's about that

50:21

high. It's not like desperately high, but also it's

50:23

too high to just climb into.

50:25

Sweet William.

50:28

Would you be so kind as to help us up here? Okay,

50:31

William will give you a boost. Okay,

50:36

so William's gonna give you all a boost. Are

50:38

you gonna help William up into the vent as well? Or

50:40

are you gonna? No,

50:41

William, you need to stay here. It's

50:44

gonna be too dangerous out there, okay? And

50:47

I want you to stay here and stay

50:49

safe. Okay? I'll

50:51

do it. He says, eyes brimming with tears.

50:53

Eyes brimming with tears. Sweet

50:56

William will remain in treatment room omega. Okay,

50:58

you're in the vent. Considering the atrocities that he's committed,

51:00

maybe. Yeah.

51:02

Sweet William, I want you to work

51:04

on that sweetness and I want you to look at

51:07

that emaciated corpse

51:09

and think

51:10

how you helped create that.

51:13

You need to rethink your ways,

51:15

okay? Okay, Sweet William is

51:17

gonna make a fear check.

51:19

Okay, yeah, he has failed

51:23

that. He

51:25

looks at the corpse. He staggers

51:27

backwards into the corner and starts

51:29

gibbering. Fine. Yeah,

51:31

so Sweet William is panicked. Cool.

51:35

Okay,

51:35

let's get out of here before he does anything

51:37

panicky. Yeah, you're in a square shaped metal air vent,

51:44

such as you may have seen in movies.

51:47

Yeah,

51:49

you're moving through. It's quite noisy,

51:51

but it's, I mean, there's a silhouette. A

51:54

long going off, so it's not particularly

51:57

noticeable. It's even because the corridor

51:59

and stuff was just.

51:59

a sort of fairly straightforward layout. We know which

52:02

direction we're going in and we're heading back. Yeah, exactly.

52:04

You would just turn left and then you would be above

52:06

the corridor that you were in before. So there is another grate

52:09

over the corridor. Yeah, I'd like to put

52:11

my foot through it. Okay, athletics please.

52:14

Yep. Two

52:17

there, again, that is a five

52:19

and a one.

52:20

Okay, so that's one success. Okay,

52:23

one success. Yeah, you kick the grate and

52:27

the grate does come loose, but so does the section of the

52:29

event that you're in. And it sort of swings down

52:31

onto his bag. I

52:33

slide down my ass.

52:35

Yeah, you don't take

52:37

any damage, but you sort of just... You

52:39

go damage. ...bruised and dazed. Oh my...

52:42

There you go, Corin. But yeah, basically

52:45

the whole section there is just smashed down

52:47

into the corridor where you are out and into the

52:49

vents now.

52:50

You okay, Bobby? Oh,

52:53

you asked about him first, not me. Sal,

52:56

you caused it. You

52:57

get second dibs. I'm

53:00

okay, I'm okay, says Robert. He's, you

53:02

know, actually more okay than he's been in a long time.

53:05

This is an even... He's feeling great. Even

53:07

bruised and dazed is the real treat for Robert.

53:10

Yeah, so you're back in the corridor where you

53:13

started. We need to make swift... A

53:15

swift exit. Yeah,

53:17

all the doors are down with these

53:19

metal shutters.

53:22

Yeah, so what are you gonna... Heading towards the

53:24

exit of the treatment area where

53:26

we... Where you came in. Being metal shut.

53:29

Really?

53:30

That's what a security lockdown means.

53:33

Yeah. Right in the

53:35

furnace room, is that...

53:37

Well, I don't know if

53:39

we could... Well, we're on the floor

53:42

now, so we probably can't get back into the

53:44

vent. Yeah, sorry about that. I'm

53:48

gonna have a look around, see if there's anything else, like any other

53:51

cupboards or anything. No disorders. Yeah.

53:54

Can I do a nice stroll as well? Yeah. Okay,

53:59

two fours. I got two and a three. Two

54:02

fours? Cool. Someone spotted

54:04

something. Okay, so success with a raise

54:06

and you got zero. Yeah, no success.

54:09

Okay, so Silas, the fall from the vent has

54:11

caused your hat to become stuck over there. You're

54:15

struggling to remove it. Why

54:18

are the feathers the way to go? Edie,

54:22

you notice a board with

54:26

directions to the different rooms. So

54:29

there's like directly head through the double

54:31

doors, it has like morgue and crematorium.

54:34

And then to the right, there is like

54:37

more treatment rooms listed, but also security room is

54:39

listed down the right-hand corridor.

54:41

Security room down this way, down the right-hand

54:44

corridor. Let's go. Go turn

54:46

off all these alarms. So

54:49

where the other orderly is, yeah? Probably,

54:51

yeah, let's deal with that remotely as well. Yeah,

54:54

okay, so you're starting to walk towards the security

54:57

room. Like jog, I'd say probably. Okay, while

54:59

you're jogging, as you sort of round the corner, you almost bump

55:01

into the other orderly who's like, oh, geez!

55:05

Okay. Big mistake, pal. I

55:07

out of his shoes. Does

55:31

his neck extend very briefly? He just

55:33

55:38

55:43

Nice. More like disorderly. Yeah.

55:48

Point him. Yeah, yeah. Right,

55:52

55:54

the security room is

55:56

at the end of the corridor. It has, similarly,

56:00

I shut through this down.

56:03

The... yeah,

56:04

so... You can sort of,

56:06

you can hear like some kind of...

56:09

some sounds coming from inside. From

56:12

inside the... From inside the scooter. Things

56:14

being moved around. Alright,

56:17

okay. Huh.

56:20

How about we like to bang like pretending to be

56:22

the warden? We like that comment.

56:25

Hahaha. It could work.

56:28

I don't have a better plan. Hahaha.

56:32

Do we do that? Hahaha.

56:36

Can I just try and wrench the shutter up? You can try. You

56:40

56:42

57:08

It is... It

57:10

is very... Down there.

57:13

You start to... you manage to sort of lift it an inch

57:15

or so off the ground. And

57:18

57:20

shutter there. You hear someone like, what's going

57:22

59:08

59:11

59:13

59:16

59:18

what has gone into you, Sweet William, but let me just get

59:20

this door up here real quick. The

59:24

door goes sridgeling back up into there. I ropey tackle you. Oh

59:26

no, it's not Sweet William

59:29

at all.

59:30

Okay,

59:32

fight him off, please. The

59:34

manual tackling... He's just standing

59:37

there like... It

59:40

worked, didn't it? Okay.

59:42

All right, fighting roll. The manual tackling is wearing

59:45

a security guard uniform. He is about 90 years old. So

59:48

you're away. It shouldn't be too hard. Well,

59:50

you say that, but I rolled two twos. Two

59:53

twos. Okay. Okay, all

59:55

right, I'm gonna make this an oppose roll. But

59:58

he is extremely weak.

1:00:00

He's 90, so... Okay,

1:00:03

he rolled a 4, so he is actually

1:00:06

starting

1:00:06

to get better with you. He's a world-bestie! He's

1:00:09

a fashion-curity-offish, you dang-ow-ho!

1:00:12

He... Care

1:00:15

to start it? I'm also gonna run the attack,

1:00:17

because I'm just like, I don't know what to do! Alright,

1:00:20

he's... I don't know, Salas, you just ran in! Do

1:00:23

the fighting roll. Okay,

1:00:26

3-6! Okay,

1:00:31

so you have beaten this 4-security-guard

1:00:33

fighting roll. What happens? As

1:00:37

I run in, I look for a chair, and I just

1:00:39

like... There's like a little

1:00:42

swivel chair that he sits on, to sort of listen to the speaking cubes.

1:00:45

I tuck

1:00:45

him towards the chair, so that if he falls,

1:00:48

he just lands in the chair, and can just keep

1:00:50

him in the chair. Yeah, he falls backwards into the

1:00:52

chair, like... Weee! Into

1:00:55

the corner! Yeah,

1:00:57

so he slides over into the corner. I

1:01:00

surrender, I surrender!

1:01:03

I'm sorry, sir, but

1:01:05

there are some awful things happening here.

1:01:07

I don't know about any of

1:01:09

that, I just make sure the door's locked, and

1:01:12

everyone is paying attention to

1:01:15

the announcements and all whatnot. I

1:01:17

was told there's a security lock down, there's some... Ow-hoots

1:01:21

up in here, doing all...

1:01:23

bad things. Oh,

1:01:26

yeah, that was the senator. He...

1:01:29

Senator Waxman! Yeah, he

1:01:31

was awful. I

1:01:32

thought he was a good

1:01:35

pillar of a community, they told me. He

1:01:37

was a pillar of salt. He's

1:01:40

just awful. A pillar of salt? He's awful.

1:01:42

Oh, no. The worst human... He

1:01:46

was so rude to the staff, and he tried

1:01:48

to assault one of the staff. Who wouldn't do that? And...

1:01:53

and... Oh, my... And

1:01:55

he's, you know, poor Robin. Hey, do

1:01:57

you know Robin? Little Bobby, who does

1:01:59

the locksmith? in town? Well,

1:02:02

I know, yeah, I do know you, Robert.

1:02:04

You, yeah, you fixed my door for me last

1:02:06

Christmas. Yeah. Well, Senator

1:02:09

almost killed him. I

1:02:12

voted for that man. You shouldn't

1:02:15

have. Where is he now, this Senator Waxman?

1:02:17

I'll give him a piece of my mind. He's

1:02:19

on the other side, honey. The other side

1:02:22

of the door? Oh, I'll give

1:02:24

him one of these. If no, you'll

1:02:26

have to wait until your time, until

1:02:28

you can give him one of those.

1:02:29

Are we taking a number?

1:02:34

He's dead, honey. Oh

1:02:38

my. Well,

1:02:41

I suppose the alarm is over then. Yes.

1:02:44

I believe so. He gets up from the chair, goes

1:02:46

over to a big red button and hits it,

1:02:49

and the alarm's stopped, and all the shutters go

1:02:51

back up into the ceiling. Well,

1:02:55

who'd have thought it? A bad

1:02:57

politician. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,

1:03:00

ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,

1:03:02

ha, ha.

1:03:04

Now I've seen everything shaking. He's

1:03:07

shaking to his core. Wow. If

1:03:10

you could let

1:03:12

Mr. Crow know that the

1:03:14

security threat is over,

1:03:17

and that it was Senator, and

1:03:19

he's been dealt with, that

1:03:22

would be great. Oh,

1:03:24

okay. Just so that she can, you

1:03:27

know, be at ease. Return to her work.

1:03:30

And carry on with her duties.

1:03:34

Yeah, he writes a note on a piece

1:03:36

of paper, puts it into

1:03:38

a little canister,

1:03:40

and he placed it into a pneumatic tube. Shunk.

1:03:44

Takes it out of the room. All right.

1:03:47

I said back to the reception. All

1:03:49

right. Are

1:03:52

you taking Robert with you? Yeah, yeah.

1:03:54

1:04:00

1:04:03

down the corridor back down the stairs into the

1:04:05

1:05:43

on the on the floor in a sort of semi-circle

1:05:46

Let's crank that thing open Okay.

1:05:48

Okay. Yeah. So you push that in and it sort

1:06:15

of, it releases some kind of catch. Okay.

1:06:18

The painting swings open and

1:06:20

there is a staircase, sort

1:06:23

of spiral staircase down downwards.

1:06:25

And this is where this

1:06:28

floor looks extremely clinical and white and the

1:06:30

top floor looks a little more neglected. This

1:06:33

looks practically

1:06:35

medieval. Like

1:06:39

uneven stonework. Okay. Yeah.

1:06:42

That's the sort of vibe. Got it. It would look at that.

1:06:45

1:08:32

in town. So you reach the bottom

1:08:34

of the staircase, and as

1:08:36

I said, it is much less splendid

1:08:39

down here than the levels above

1:08:41

ground. It's almost more like a mine

1:08:44

down here. You can hear

1:08:46

the kind of telltale screech

1:08:49

of ghost rock

1:08:51

down here.

1:08:52

And even, like you can even see

1:08:54

it, there's like deposits poking out of the wall. It seems

1:08:57

like someone has discovered a rich

1:08:59

seam down here.

1:09:01

And it's... you're in a corridor,

1:09:05

but it's a corridor that slopes downwards, and there are

1:09:07

no other doors except one set of doors

1:09:10

at the end of this corridor. And those, it

1:09:12

must be said, are

1:09:13

quite ornate. They're oak with brass

1:09:15

handles, and are sort of...

1:09:18

there's like a

1:09:20

filigree D for the handle. So

1:09:25

yeah, that's basically all that's down here. I

1:09:28

guess we're going through the door, right? I mean, we're not

1:09:30

going to knock, so...

1:09:32

I'd like to

1:09:34

do... is there a keyhole

1:09:37

on the door? There

1:09:39

is not a keyhole on the door, no, there is

1:09:41

just a door handle. Is there any way to

1:09:44

sort of ascertain what's

1:09:46

going on in the room behind without opening the door?

1:09:48

A little... listen, or... I don't

1:09:52

know, you could try opening it slightly and see

1:09:54

if it opens. I would like

1:09:56

to open it slightly. You

1:09:58

could try sliding your mirror around. maybe yeah okay

1:10:01

do me a stealth okay you get to the door you try to

1:10:04

slide your

1:10:13

mirror

1:10:16

under but the door is flush to the ground you know it doesn't

1:10:18

fit underneath all right

1:10:21

I'm gonna yeah I'm gonna try and stealthily open the door

1:10:26

1:10:51

1:12:28

look the other way? Not

1:13:04

without vision. Yes. Hey,

1:13:07

my hat fell off my eyes like three

1:13:09

times.

1:13:10

That's it. Really,

1:13:20

it is for the greater good. For

1:13:22

example, you have

1:13:25

a trolley. It is going

1:13:27

towards five people. You can pull

1:13:29

a lever. It goes towards one person.

1:13:33

Would you not pull the lever? You

1:13:35

wouldn't pull the lever if the one person

1:13:38

gave you ten thousand dollars, though, would you? The

1:13:40

money is pleasant,

1:13:44

but not important. You can put the diseases

1:13:46

of five, six people into one and

1:13:49

they go on living. The

1:13:51

one has made a glorious

1:13:53

sacrifice. We appreciate what they do

1:13:55

enormously. They are heroes.

1:14:00

Bobby, did you feel much like... This, like, and this, Robert visibly

1:14:03

bristles. Yeah. I don't

1:14:05

think Bobby feels like much of a hero when he was stuck

1:14:07

in that tube. He felt more like an

1:14:09

experiment, I'd imagine. Sorry,

1:14:12

Bobby, if this is not pleasant here

1:14:14

again. No offense to your

1:14:16

friends, but these people

1:14:18

are not doing anything with their lives.

1:14:21

They're living. We give them purpose.

1:14:25

We fill them with disease, and

1:14:27

then they pass away. Take

1:14:30

the disease with them. It is beautiful in a way.

1:14:33

You need to give them a choice.

1:14:37

What if we put you in the tube? I

1:14:39

will give you a choice. You can

1:14:41

get out of my office, or I can kill

1:14:43

you. Those strong

1:14:46

words. Yeah, yeah. For

1:14:49

someone only used to poison. Eyes

1:14:53

of narrow... And she draws a

1:14:56

large...

1:14:56

It's

1:14:59

an unusual contraption. It looks like a sort of auto-injector.

1:15:02

It's a

1:15:02

pistol-grip syringe that she's holding.

1:15:05

She draws it from behind the desk, and

1:15:07

she says, Very well. And now we're

1:15:10

going to get into... Let's

1:15:12

dance! All right. Two

1:15:16

for Silas. God dang. Three

1:15:19

for Edie. Six for Robert. Oh,

1:15:23

good old Bobby. And a seven for

1:15:25

Davey. Such a tight spread

1:15:28

of cards. Dang. Everyone's

1:15:30

like... No

1:15:33

one really cares. Okay,

1:15:35

interesting. Right, cool. Let's start with

1:15:37

Daisy then. Do we have

1:15:39

to? Yeah, we sure do. All

1:15:42

right, Daisy

1:15:43

stands up from behind the

1:15:45

desk that she sat behind. She sort of adjusts

1:15:48

her hood, shakes

1:15:50

her arms out, and then she starts... Her

1:15:53

eyes sort of roll back in her head, and she's going to try and cast

1:15:56

a spell. So... Roll

1:15:58

this, that is.

1:16:00

That is a success on the spell casting

1:16:02

roll and the spell that she is casting

1:16:04

here is fear

1:16:08

So I'm gonna need you all to make

1:16:10

a fear check. All right That's

1:16:13

a spirit roll That's

1:16:18

three and one but I'm gonna spend

1:16:20

it Benny, that's one and a one But

1:16:25

I have I have you

1:16:27

better have something good. I have

1:16:29

the guts Perk

1:16:32

so I can reroll on fear

1:16:34

checks. Okay Okay,

1:16:40

I got five and a seven nice that's it

1:16:42

I'm spending Benny I'm gonna reroll cuz that was rubbish

1:16:47

That is also rubbish I'm gonna

1:16:50

spend a bunny and I'm gonna reroll Deep

1:16:52

into it now There

1:16:55

we go. That's a six Okay,

1:17:00

so you both passed the fear

1:17:02

check Robert

1:17:05

no Roberts Roberts

1:17:09

has not passed the fear check and

1:17:11

he's not a wild card either. So he is currently panicked

1:17:13

Okay,

1:17:17

so Being panicked

1:17:20

Robert immediately moves his full pace plus

1:17:22

the running die away from the danger and is

1:17:24

shaken He's basically gonna sprint start

1:17:27

to sprint back up the corner He's

1:17:30

shaking so he's starting to run towards the

1:17:32

way out he's full on is he out of combat

1:17:35

now he's I Mean,

1:17:37

I guess you could roll a shake and he would yeah,

1:17:39

he would have to unshake Yeah, but he's

1:17:41

moving himself out of combat currently you

1:17:44

both have passed so that's fine It's

1:17:46

Robert's go

1:17:47

so I'm gonna try and unshake yeah

1:17:51

There's a one he's continuing

1:17:57

Yeah, so he didn't like that pistol too much So

1:18:00

it was ED. Drop

1:18:03

the pistol. Right,

1:18:07

yeah, ED is gonna get the

1:18:10

Sword of Winchester out again, I think.

1:18:12

Okay. And just go for

1:18:15

a shot, if possible. Okay.

1:18:17

Are you shooting anywhere in particular or just? No,

1:18:20

just going for it. I've got a 4,

1:18:22

so that's hit. And

1:18:25

then it's 2d8 times 1, so that

1:18:28

is a 5, and

1:18:31

then 1, so 5. Okay, 5

1:18:33

damage does not exceed her toughness. So

1:18:36

yeah, you fire, but

1:18:39

the bullet goes through,

1:18:41

basically passes through the gap between her arm

1:18:43

and her body and makes

1:18:46

a hole in the cape, sort of, she's

1:18:49

like, and then sort of readjusts

1:18:51

her hood and then sort of looks back

1:18:53

at you. My

1:18:57

turn. You're go, Shyla. I am going

1:18:59

to call

1:19:02

my shot, and I'm gonna try and hit

1:19:04

the syringe.

1:19:05

Okay. What do I lose if

1:19:07

I call a shot? It depends

1:19:09

how hard the shot is. For this it would be sort

1:19:11

of minus 4 to the roll, I think. Well, I've got two

1:19:13

attempts at this, right? Because I've got two guns. Yeah,

1:19:17

two guns.

1:19:18

Okay. So that's a 6 and a 3, so

1:19:21

that's a miss.

1:19:23

I'm gonna try again with

1:19:26

the second shot. Oh

1:19:28

yeah, I got an 8 on the d8. So success.

1:19:31

Okay, and re-roll. Because

1:19:33

you got an 8. The d8 as well. Yeah.

1:19:36

Alright. So that's another 8. Great.

1:19:39

Keep

1:19:40

going. And a 4. Okay, so 20. So

1:19:42

yeah, yeah, that's tons of raises. Okay,

1:19:45

yeah, you describe what happens. So

1:19:47

I fired the first shot, it misses, but without

1:19:49

hesitating, I fired the other pistol

1:19:52

in my other hand. And having

1:19:54

got my eye in with the first one, calibrated

1:19:56

exactly by how much I missed, I've adjusted

1:19:59

the shot on the fly.

1:19:59

I'm gonna say. She moved

1:20:02

out of the way of the first shot into the second,

1:20:04

I think, as well. Yeah. Very good. Let it

1:20:06

follow you. Your bullet smashes through the glass

1:20:08

vial on the injector. There

1:20:12

was a sort of purple liquid in there, but that shatters

1:20:15

and sort of dispels, and the

1:20:17

injector is knocked out of her hand as well and sort of flung

1:20:19

across the room. Great.

1:20:20

Nice shot, Silas.

1:20:23

Thank you. All right, let's round

1:20:26

two. Oh. Silas,

1:20:30

Edie, Robert, Daisy.

1:20:34

Okay, Silas with the eight. Nice.

1:20:36

I'll take that. Four for Edie.

1:20:40

Robert on a nine.

1:20:42

Daisy on the ace. Oh!

1:20:47

Damn it!

1:20:48

Okay, yeah, Daisy is sort

1:20:52

of, looks furiously. It's the

1:20:54

shattered injector on the floor. Complete

1:20:57

your retaliation. Uh-huh. So,

1:21:01

yeah, she just sort of shakes

1:21:03

her head and then moves back into that kind of spell

1:21:06

casting stance from before, and she

1:21:08

is going to, once

1:21:10

again, try

1:21:12

and cast a spell. Okay, yep, that's a success. So,

1:21:15

you're going to... Maddie's always seemed to roll so

1:21:18

much better than we do. Oh, no. Yeah,

1:21:22

that is not a raise. So, she

1:21:25

is going to cast the spell Bolt at

1:21:28

you, Silas. Okay.

1:21:33

Sounds good. Okay, that is... What's

1:21:36

your... Parry? Or

1:21:38

toughness? Probably parry or toughness. Probably toughness,

1:21:41

I think, because it's a projectile. Okay. Five.

1:21:43

Okay, that is one success.

1:21:46

So, she... The

1:21:48

injector is lying on the floor, but she sort of

1:21:50

holds her hands out like this and creates a sort

1:21:53

of cloud of, like, hypodermic

1:21:55

needles. And she just sort of fires

1:21:57

at you, and these tiny needles all sort

1:21:59

of...

1:21:59

Piss you at

1:22:02

once you do you don't take a wound,

1:22:04

but you are knocked down and shaken

1:22:07

okay? So these

1:22:09

the needles haven't gone very deep, but there's a lot of them yeah

1:22:14

It's very uncomfortable

1:22:17

out here

1:22:20

Who was next it was Robert right Robert? Yeah,

1:22:22

he's trying on he's still running. He

1:22:24

needs to unshake Okay,

1:22:27

yeah, Robert's gonna come back in nice And

1:22:30

he's gonna try and shoot Daisy. What's

1:22:32

the damage on that pistol you

1:22:33

know it's it's 2d4. It's not

1:22:35

massive Hey,

1:22:39

a six hey, and a one so there's

1:22:41

one success so 2d4 damage Three

1:22:49

Three six yeah

1:22:51

that meets the toughness so he

1:22:55

levels his pistol that Daisy

1:22:58

fires a bullet it sort of slams into

1:23:00

her shoulder She sort of looks

1:23:03

at it angrily, but then Like

1:23:05

the wound seems to close up around the bullet.

1:23:08

She sort of snows a robber, but she is she

1:23:10

is shaken All right Yes,

1:23:14

okay. I need to unshake myself.

1:23:17

Yeah, so remind me how I do that

1:23:21

All

1:23:28

right It's gonna be the

1:23:30

twin pistols again It's gonna be the twin

1:23:32

pistols, but this time. I'm just aiming it sent

1:23:34

to mass not calling the shots I just want to

1:23:37

Unload bullets basically, so let's

1:23:39

do that Done the

1:23:41

one that's a five and three

1:23:43

success of all the damage

1:23:46

which is 2d6 plus one That's

1:23:49

a four and a four plus one

1:23:51

is nine

1:23:53

that's nine for the first one and then

1:23:57

second gun is one success

1:24:00

A four, and so I roll the damage again.

1:24:04

It's five and a six. Six

1:24:08

goes again, and a three. Five,

1:24:10

six, and three is 14, plus

1:24:13

the ninth in the original is 23. 23, okay.

1:24:17

So yeah, you fire off your shots, they

1:24:19

all slam into Daisy, and she

1:24:21

sort of gets knocked back against her desk,

1:24:24

and then just goes, hmm. And

1:24:26

you see the wounds in her close back

1:24:28

up again. Got

1:24:31

it. And she's like, seems

1:24:36

fine. No, no. No. No.

1:24:39

No. What can we do about this? Okay.

1:24:43

Yeah, so she straightens back up,

1:24:45

she goes back into spell casting pose, and then she just,

1:24:48

just so hood strikes her. Strikes

1:24:51

her fighting stance. She doesn't leave

1:24:52

the basement. Right. What

1:24:56

term of day is it? Oh,

1:24:59

it's middle of the night, I guess. What

1:25:01

time of day is it? Yeah, it was early evening

1:25:03

when you walked over here, so it's nighttime now. I

1:25:06

want to see if around the

1:25:09

place, there's

1:25:11

any like pencils, wooden pencils.

1:25:16

Yeah, sure, why not? I have

1:25:18

an inkling of what this thing might be, but

1:25:21

I don't, 100% know, just

1:25:23

I'm just going by basement, and they can heal up quick.

1:25:27

Yeah, I'm gonna

1:25:31

grab a pencil, take a run and try

1:25:33

and aim

1:25:36

for the heart. Okay, do me a

1:25:38

fighting roll. Against

1:25:40

how many? Your proficiency in pencils. Okay,

1:25:44

that's two threes. I'm gonna go for many.

1:25:49

Okay, five and a two, so I've got five. Okay,

1:25:53

I don't know what damage would be on

1:25:55

a pencil. But yes, just

1:25:57

say that this succeeds. Okay, so you drama.

1:25:59

Pencil into her chest. Yes, she

1:26:02

just goes

1:26:09

Breaks it off What are

1:26:11

you? Yeah, so you

1:26:13

as you as you rushed her so

1:26:15

that so the pencil went in but you did some you

1:26:18

sort of managed to It

1:26:20

pulled her hood slightly and again. She's just like

1:26:24

Sit back into place and she sort of pushes you off It's

1:26:27

like a vampire you idiot to be

1:26:29

fair. That is a real vampire voice. I just

1:26:31

say

1:26:34

Stories

1:26:36

those tale tellers tell us so okay,

1:26:39

that's everyone around a comment

1:26:48

It's a king Ten

1:26:52

for Edie King

1:27:03

Resume you want to go before Robert?

1:27:05

Yes, please. Yeah

1:27:07

Well having seen the sort of freak

1:27:10

out slightly about the hood

1:27:11

feels like you know, if there's a cheat code to

1:27:13

this boss fight I Probably

1:27:16

give me the cape So I'm

1:27:18

gonna rush in and try and like I don't know yank the hood

1:27:21

down and maybe even like pull the cape off

1:27:23

entirely Okay Yeah,

1:27:25

all right fine. Um do that sounds

1:27:27

like athletics to me. Yeah, that's cool.

1:27:29

Yeah

1:27:32

That is a six and one

1:27:38

Okay, so nine yeah, that's a success

1:27:40

with the raise and yeah this works

1:27:42

you run in and

1:27:44

So as I said, it's a sort of hood Flows

1:27:46

down her back into a cape that sort of young off her

1:27:48

shoulders and you just yank it off,

1:27:50

right? Yeah, so when

1:27:52

I say before that her head was shaved. Yeah,

1:27:55

I mean a lot

1:27:57

more so than you first actually realize

1:27:59

because The top of her skull is actually

1:28:01

missing and you can see her brain is

1:28:03

exposed at the back of her head. Whoa. So

1:28:06

it's about the size of a sort

1:28:08

of side plate of her skull is missing

1:28:10

and her brain is exposed. And she sort of like

1:28:13

moves to kind of try and grab the cape,

1:28:15

but you've already stashed it away. Nice. And

1:28:17

she just hisses and is now sort of

1:28:19

trying

1:28:21

to keep that away from you. Trying to point

1:28:23

her brain away from us. Yeah, basically.

1:28:25

Alright, so that was your go. Mm-hmm.

1:28:28

Robert is next.

1:28:31

Uh... Yeah, Robert's gonna

1:28:33

try and do a cold shot to her brain. Yes,

1:28:36

Robert. Stepping out to

1:28:38

the plate. I like it. I mean, he's

1:28:40

gonna have to ace this to see who he is. The

1:28:43

gun does also have a dagger on it if

1:28:45

he just wants to run up a go. Well, then,

1:28:47

okay, he'd... He'd roll a

1:28:49

two, so he's not getting anywhere near it. He

1:28:52

just sort of... Just fires off in the wrong direction.

1:28:54

So

1:28:54

Robert is no help.

1:28:57

Okay, well, I would

1:29:00

like to pull out from my boot a knife.

1:29:03

And kind of like... On

1:29:07

the top. Plunged into her brain. Into her brain. Alright,

1:29:09

well that is definitely a fighting rule. Yeah.

1:29:12

That's definitely a fighting rule. Yeah. Yeah,

1:29:17

that's a five and a five. Okay. And

1:29:20

then... You want me to damage on the knife? Knife,

1:29:23

knife, knife. Strength plus

1:29:25

D4. That's

1:29:27

a one.

1:29:28

And a

1:29:30

one.

1:29:31

That's not fair. So, yes. Um,

1:29:34

yeah. Can I do Benny to re-roll that one? You

1:29:36

can, yeah. You can re-roll damage. So

1:29:40

that's a three. All promising. That's a four. And

1:29:43

a one. Okay. Yeah, that

1:29:45

does exceed her toughness. I need

1:29:47

to go. I'm afraid she definitely

1:29:49

sort of parries the knife away from her

1:29:52

brain.

1:29:55

Um, yes, it's her turn.

1:29:57

Uh, she mad. She...

1:30:00

Very mad. Um, she, she's going to

1:30:02

spell cast again.

1:30:07

Okay. Yep, six,

1:30:09

that's fine. She is

1:30:12

going to, yeah,

1:30:15

why not? That's fun. Um. That's

1:30:18

always the ones that you want to hear from your GM. Why

1:30:21

not? That'd be fun. Yeah. Ha ha.

1:30:25

Anyway, it's been nice, uh. Very

1:30:27

nice to meet you. I really enjoyed

1:30:29

your company. Yeah, it was a good

1:30:32

time. I'm

1:30:34

doing a vigor roll for Robert here. Oh, Robert's

1:30:36

going to be explainable. Which is not passed. All right, Daisy

1:30:39

pulls a piece of her brain out of her head,

1:30:42

jams it into Robert's mouth. He

1:30:44

immediately starts convulsing and frothing

1:30:47

at the mouth.

1:30:49

Robert has just consumed lethal poison. Huh?

1:30:53

So yeah, he's, uh, I'm

1:30:55

removing Robert. From the

1:30:57

equation. From the equation. Yeah, the old Barbie.

1:30:59

Yeah, Robert's down.

1:31:02

Robert is incapacitated. That

1:31:04

was her go, so. End

1:31:06

of the round.

1:31:07

End of the round. Robert

1:31:11

in peace. Okay, Silas

1:31:14

with the queen. Yes. Let's

1:31:16

go. He did the nine. Okay, back

1:31:18

up.

1:31:19

Robert is out. No, he's dead. So I guess that's

1:31:22

Daisy, the queen. Oh, she's dead. Oh.

1:31:24

And what happens now? Because we're both on queens. Oh,

1:31:27

it's done by suit, so.

1:31:29

Let me check, which is the higher. Love

1:31:32

is the higher power, right?

1:31:36

Love is the higher power. Yeah. Love

1:31:38

is what we need. We've got to believe that, haven't we, folks?

1:31:40

Okay, yeah, so it goes Spade

1:31:43

Heart Diamond Club. Right, and what

1:31:45

suit was hers? She got diamonds, so

1:31:47

the heart goes first. Great. Okay,

1:31:49

what I would like to do is, I

1:31:52

feel like she's super dangerous while she's

1:31:55

able to move around in this fully

1:31:57

mobile. I actually have a set of handcuffs.

1:31:59

Okay, and I would like to try

1:32:02

and like Basically cuff her

1:32:04

hands together behind her back right so I'm behind

1:32:06

her because I like with the cape off basically

1:32:09

And I'd like to then like try and just

1:32:12

grab her arms and get the cuffs on her basically Yeah, okay,

1:32:14

something I've got some experience with doing obviously as

1:32:16

a former lawman. Yeah Let's

1:32:20

make this it's you know, it's athletic

1:32:22

isn't it? All right, here we go. I've got a belly

1:32:24

to spend if this goes badly

1:32:27

It went badly Will

1:32:31

be spending any last

1:32:33

one. Hope this works. Oh

1:32:36

Yeah, okay. I got a five and one. Okay.

1:32:38

No, that's just like yeah, let's let that happen All right, so you handcuffed

1:32:40

her hands behind it. Yeah. Yeah I'm hoping

1:32:43

this will like stop her from casting spells

1:32:45

and also jamming any bits of her poisonous brain

1:32:47

into people's mouths Yeah, you think it would like to

1:32:49

see less of that. I'll be honest. Yeah.

1:32:52

All right. Yeah that happens Cool. So

1:32:54

it's her turn now, right? It's her turn now. Okay, what

1:32:56

can she do immediately magic to handcuffs

1:32:58

up?

1:32:59

I don't think she can do that Let's

1:33:02

see. She can't use her hands, but she

1:33:04

can still talk right? So she's

1:33:07

gonna do one more spell casting role here

1:33:11

So that's one success, all right, so she said

1:33:14

she says some words in a tongue

1:33:16

that you don't understand

1:33:18

and then The room

1:33:20

is suddenly plunged into extreme

1:33:22

darkness It becomes almost

1:33:25

pitch black in here. You can still make out some

1:33:28

shapes and things It's not like total darkness,

1:33:30

but yeah, you would

1:33:33

call it dark in here You'll

1:33:35

be taking minus four penalty

1:33:38

to your rolls Minus

1:33:40

four, come on. Yeah. Sorry

1:33:42

If I were to light a match would that be

1:33:45

one action? Yeah, so

1:33:47

you have a match. Yeah, that would be

1:33:49

one action. You can still take other actions just at a penalty So

1:33:52

you would just you could dispel for you You

1:33:55

can dispel the darkness penalty, but

1:33:57

then you would take a multi-action penalty. Okay,

1:33:59

so what?

1:33:59

So it would be

1:34:02

minus two penalty to your first action. And

1:34:05

then minus four to one

1:34:08

over that and so forth in that order.

1:34:10

I'm gonna strike a match and

1:34:14

like she's somewhat incapacitated

1:34:16

right? Her hands are handcuffed behind her back and

1:34:18

she doesn't have a weapon. Yeah. What

1:34:20

I'd like to do is I and then I'd like to get

1:34:25

my Winchester out to

1:34:27

walk up. And just point

1:34:30

it on top of her head and go... Yeah,

1:34:33

let's see how that works. Alright.

1:34:36

You've got to bet one Benny left. Yeah,

1:34:39

but I don't need it. Or do I know I do need

1:34:41

it? That's a five so I need to get a six on that don't

1:34:43

I? This is minus two penalty.

1:34:46

Let's try it one more time. Come

1:34:49

on a six. Yes! Okay,

1:34:51

nice. Nice. And a

1:34:53

one so... Success. Okay, success.

1:34:56

Six and a one so seven so just one success. Roll

1:34:58

me damage. It's... Three.

1:35:08

Yeah,

1:35:16

I'm not sure how this happens but you are pointing

1:35:18

directly down into her exposed brain pan and for some

1:35:20

reason... It just goes click.

1:35:23

Yeah, the chamber jams. It's

1:35:26

the weirdest thing. Unfortunately,

1:35:28

no bullet comes out. Well,

1:35:31

since I'm still holding a match next to her

1:35:33

does that dispel the darkness? How

1:35:36

close are you two at the moment? I'm really near

1:35:38

to her because I just handcuffed her. I'm standing

1:35:40

right next to her. Yeah, alright.

1:35:44

Okay, another round. Robert is

1:35:47

dead. Silas. Six.

1:35:52

Edie with Jack.

1:35:55

Days with the five. Alright,

1:35:58

nice. Edie. another

1:36:00

shot because

1:36:04

I'm sorry it's nice but it's not

1:36:06

very tough so right okay

1:36:15

nothing nothing yeah you're

1:36:17

just sort of like

1:36:20

so this what are

1:36:24

you doing I'm still trying to fix my gun

1:36:27

you're holding a match I'm gonna

1:36:29

take both my guns obviously I'm gonna take both my

1:36:31

guns and that point blank range I'm gonna define them

1:36:33

directly okay that is a six and

1:36:42

six reroll

1:36:44

a reroll the six on the one diet and that's

1:36:47

a two that's

1:36:49

an eighth yeah so that's a

1:36:50

success with the race wait with the race it's

1:36:53

three additional DC yeah okay

1:36:55

that's a two sixes and

1:36:58

I'll do my third one and then I'll reroll the other things

1:37:01

two sixes and a three but I'm rerolling two dice

1:37:04

another six are you adding

1:37:06

this all up two sixes of three

1:37:08

is 15 plus a

1:37:10

one it was 16 plus another

1:37:13

six is 21 one yeah plus

1:37:15

one is 22 22 for gun

1:37:18

number one okay gun

1:37:26

number two

1:37:28

that is a two-in-all okay

1:37:38

well yeah

1:37:40

you don't need you don't need to worry because you do just empty

1:37:43

the first

1:37:48

and

1:37:48

yeah you basically obliterate her

1:37:50

brain she

1:37:53

yeah collapses to an ease

1:37:55

gives you a sort of quizzical look

1:37:58

and then reels over backwards I just

1:38:00

want to remind you, this is for the tour. And because

1:38:03

she's handcuffed, face-pawned. She

1:38:05

goes back onto her side. Yeah,

1:38:08

so the darkness

1:38:12

dispels. You

1:38:14

are now in a bright,

1:38:17

well, bright, bright electric

1:38:19

lights. Office Daisy's body

1:38:22

is on the floor. Robert's body is on the floor.

1:38:25

Yeah. Done

1:38:27

it.

1:38:28

Yeah.

1:38:29

Awesome.

1:38:29

I'd like to close Bobby's eyes. Oh.

1:38:32

Like, dramatically like they do in films. Respectfully. While

1:38:35

she's respectfully doing that, I'm like working as an author. I'm

1:38:37

about to go. I'm about to go. Off the...

1:38:39

Yeah. Yeah,

1:38:42

you retrieve the ring. It's

1:38:45

a golden signet ring. It has

1:38:47

a sort of inlaid insignia,

1:38:50

which looks like a snake or the serpent

1:38:52

sort of winding its way around something, a stick,

1:38:54

or it's hard to tell because it's stylized,

1:38:56

but there's a snake on the ring.

1:38:58

Should we drag Robert's

1:39:00

body to the tubes and just

1:39:02

see if we can, I

1:39:06

don't know,

1:39:07

bring him back to life or whatever. I'm not a real medical

1:39:09

guy.

1:39:09

It's worth a shot. All

1:39:12

right. We're gonna try and drag the corpse

1:39:14

of Daisy and

1:39:17

the corpse of Bobby. Yeah.

1:39:20

And we'll try the tube thing. And if it works, it works. If

1:39:22

it doesn't, then, you know, who

1:39:24

cares? Okay. Yeah, yeah,

1:39:26

yeah. All right, so yeah, that's, I'm gonna drag Robert along the

1:39:28

corridor. The

1:39:31

receptionist- I open the picture frame, I'm like, you

1:39:33

all leave right now. Well, it's just the

1:39:35

receptionist who's holding a mug of sweat. Yeah.

1:39:38

He sees the- Oh, I woke up and I'm like, thank

1:39:40

you so much. Sees the corpse

1:39:42

and he's like, no bother. And

1:39:45

then- You might wanna leave town. Yes, yeah,

1:39:48

the thought occurred. Thought's

1:39:50

at the front door. Okay, so yeah, you drag

1:39:52

the bodies up the corridor, up the stairs,

1:39:54

down to the treatment room.

1:39:57

Yeah, let's just do a-

1:40:01

Do a science roll I do not

1:40:03

have science But you know, let's

1:40:05

do it at I don't think I, no I do not have science

1:40:08

I got smart Because

1:40:11

the poison in Robert came from Yeah,

1:40:14

amazing This

1:40:16

is an advantage, so this is a plus Do a plus

1:40:18

four Plus four, right,

1:40:21

so I don't have it But I'm adding four,

1:40:23

so that would be minus Would it be minus? So

1:40:26

it would be plus two Okay,

1:40:28

so it's just D4 and a D6

1:40:32

D4 and a D6, sorry And

1:40:34

you add two to each result

1:40:36

Okay, well I've got six

1:40:38

on the world though Oh, we'll re-roll that And

1:40:42

a one, and a roll again And

1:40:44

a one, so yeah Alright, yeah,

1:40:46

1:40:52

No, that's a Yeah, success with

1:40:54

a raise Yeah, that's eight, that's a success

1:40:57

with a raise So yeah, you load

1:40:59

Daisy's body into the right hand tube

1:41:02

Next to the...

1:41:03

Throw the switch,

1:41:05

the sparks start flying For

1:41:10

a uncomfortable amount of time, nothing seems to be happening But

1:41:13

then,

1:41:14

Daisy starts to sort of

1:41:16

Kick and And

1:41:19

she's back to life She comes out with two guns,

1:41:21

1:42:27

And that was the stunning conclusion of

1:42:30

yet another stunning episode of

1:42:32

Oxventure Deadlands. Well done, Marshall Andy. Thanks.

1:42:35

Well done, Edie. Well done, Silas. They're not here, but

1:42:37

I assume they listen.

1:42:38

Yeah, well, it was, yeah, that was,

1:42:41

that was pretty

1:42:43

harrowing there at the end. Not in the

1:42:45

sort of nate sense, but just in the,

1:42:48

so the kind of creature that

1:42:50

Daisy is, is in the Deadlands

1:42:52

book is a poison woman.

1:42:54

Okay. And they can,

1:42:58

the idea is they can take pieces of their

1:43:00

brain out of their skull. They've got their

1:43:02

exposed brain sticking out the back of their skull and

1:43:04

like

1:43:05

poison food with it. That's so

1:43:07

nasty. It is so nasty. But then in this one,

1:43:09

I just had her go up to their, the NPC that they

1:43:12

were tracking around and just crammed some brain

1:43:14

into his mouth.

1:43:14

What do you like, Deadlands writers? That

1:43:16

is, I mean, is that adapted from some kind

1:43:19

of folklore? It seems like a really specific

1:43:22

concept for a monster. Yeah,

1:43:23

it's fun though. I mean, we had

1:43:25

the pox walker and Dr. Harker in the last episode,

1:43:28

and then we had a poison woman in this one,

1:43:30

which was, which was cool. But yeah, I really

1:43:32

enjoyed the sort of

1:43:35

John Carpenter vibes of this hospital.

1:43:37

Yes. Just sort of an unsettling

1:43:40

liminal space. Yeah. Yeah.

1:43:43

And the idea of... And old timey medicine

1:43:46

and such is just kind of a bit

1:43:48

creepy, isn't it? Yeah. Well, in this I had the disease transference

1:43:52

machine, which I thought was, you know, a fun,

1:43:54

a fun

1:43:54

little concept. But also it gave, because

1:43:58

Edie got... cut

1:44:00

by Dr. Harker at the end of the

1:44:02

last episode and she didn't pass the vigor

1:44:04

check and It's I

1:44:06

don't really explicitly address it in the episode

1:44:09

because she managed to cure it but what happens

1:44:11

if you do get

1:44:13

wounded by a pox Walker and you fail

1:44:15

the vigor check is you contract a Chronic

1:44:19

disease Which so

1:44:21

the actual rules for chronic diseases

1:44:23

in?

1:44:25

Deadlands and the one I had in mind for Edie

1:44:27

was like late stage tuberculosis

1:44:29

But the way it works is at the start of every session

1:44:31

you have to do a vigor check

1:44:33

And if you if you fail it's you're

1:44:35

kind of fatigued throughout the whole episode your all

1:44:37

your all your dice rolls are lower if

1:44:40

you roll

1:44:40

Snake eyes you die at the end of that

1:44:43

session like regardless The

1:44:45

end of that session of the disease

1:44:47

so it's really serious Chronic

1:44:49

disease in Deadlands, but say I'm

1:44:52

glad that didn't happen. Yeah. Well, I built

1:44:54

I've been man I built the escape hatch

1:44:56

of this kind of disease transference machine

1:44:58

into there and it's like You know, it's

1:45:00

up to her whether she desires to use it. Um,

1:45:03

yeah, obviously she was straight in there So, uh-huh.

1:45:06

Yeah. Yeah, you would don't want to go out like

1:45:08

oh wait. I was about to do a massive spoiler For

1:45:12

a popular video game that I don't know maybe not everyone's

1:45:14

finished. So I'm not gonna yeah, I

1:45:16

won't okay

1:45:18

Well, congratulations for another extreme.

1:45:20

Well, in fact, I think this is probably the most kind

1:45:22

of

1:45:23

kind of creepy nasty one yet Hmm and

1:45:25

you have said that the the kind of horror vibes

1:45:28

intensify as we progress through the season

1:45:30

Yeah, there's some there's some more horrifying

1:45:32

stuff coming up. I mean we're on Episodes

1:45:53

Yeah, if yeah, maybe after the episode

1:45:56

just google the official artwork for that thing

1:45:58

cuz

1:45:59

Horrible. Should I Google the official

1:46:02

artwork for Poison Woman while we're here? I don't think

1:46:04

there's a picture in the book, sadly.

1:46:06

Okay. But there might be some sort of fan art or something.

1:46:09

Yeah, well, I mean, there's got to be. I

1:46:11

want DeviantArt right now.

1:46:13

dot com because there's some exciting

1:48:02

new things are happening very soon and I

1:48:04

don't know if I'm allowed to say what they are exactly but

1:48:08

don't take your eyes off the prize I guess

1:48:10

is that vague enough for you? Yeah that's

1:48:13

pretty vague. That's pretty vague

1:48:15

anyway. There'll be something

1:48:17

new happening next week so if you're into
