Hello and welcome to episode 4 of A Pint of Cthulhu
Bloodborne, season 5. Uh, Dominicus, do you want
to do our recap again? Yes, Dominicus just takes
a knee in the middle of the street, I guess,
and starts just jotting down into his little
parchment. Journaling is very good for your health.
Yes. Herein lies the record of Dominicus Aeternus'
confession. We found the carriages first. One
driver dead, the others vanished. A noise came
from the boot. The old gods warned in silence,
yet still I opened it. I have always been poor
at heeding mercy. Inside was hunger, pure and
shaking. A beast, all teeth and fear. Vince!
Or Vance. What was his name again? Whatever his
fucking name is. The cane bearer. He saw pity
where I saw judgment. He claimed it could be
tamed. I spoke warning. Keep it, and you keep
my watch. If it turns, I will judge it, and you
beside it. He took the creature anyway. Phil's
faith is louder than prayer. The rain gave us
battle soon after. Torchlight bloomed through
the fog, half men, half things. One bore a rifle,
another an axe. Gertrude bled first. Brittany,
the lamb, swung her pink toy like a wrath disguised
in laughter and failed a man I'd already half
broken. Vince's beast tore one foe apart even
as I warned him of the cost. Then another beast
lunged for me. I caught its jaws, split them
like a hem and drove it to the soil. I turned
the corpse to Vince and said nothing. The rain
did not already echo, and I'm sure he understood.
In the aftermath, the city whispered its secrets.
The houses bore markings, leaf -shaped symbols,
prayer sigils etched deep in the wood. I know
the shape. It's older than the church, older
than Yharnam's prayers. Indeed it is. That was
fucking beautiful. God damn it, he's talking
to himself again. As you all stand in the sordid
mud of the Arnhem Street, one of you, Hank, has
noticed a broken into house and suggested exploring
it. I'd recommend coming in with someone because
this house could be spooky. There could be some
nasty boys in here. Oh, you were going to try
and stop me from entering a minute ago and now
you're afraid to go in yourself? Didn't know
you were a basic bitch, Hank. You're still on
my shit. Keep your wits. Houses like this are
traps dressed as shelter. Alright, well I'll
go in with Vince. I'm going to follow. I'm going
to whistle for my dog as well. Okay. Immediately,
perception checks from both of you. Remember,
you've got vanished carbon. No, I can roll twice,
right? Yep. Eight and six. With your eight and
six? Okay, nice. We don't go in the house because
the girls are too busy crawling back up onto
my shoulders. You duck under the broken -in window
frame, step foot into the creaking floorboards
of this house. Uh, Hank? You go in first, you
look around. There seems to be claw marks everywhere.
The whole house looks trashed. You notice there
is a door here, leading to another room. It's
a very hobble -like house, only two rooms. But
you notice nothing odd. Nothing too odd, at least.
Vince, you walk in, and the moment you try and
get the dog past the threshold, it immediately
stops and starts shaking. whimpering and cowering
back. It even grabs your sleeve to try and tug
you back from entering the house. When you step
in, however... No, you're coming in. You said
you were. I can't listen to the dog then, okay?
Perhaps because of the warning, you are a little
bit more suspicious. You look up and a pair of
glowing eyes meet you. Spread across the rafters
is a large and familiar beast. Hank, the only
one you get of this is a string of drool dropping
down onto your face. Nice. I got this from a
knowledge roll. Yep. You pointed me into this
place. Oh. As directly above you, claws sunk
into the wooden rafters of this house is a large
wolf beast. I want to spend all my stamina and
jump the fuck out. Hang on, hang on. Firstly,
everyone, roll initiative. Can I clarify? I am
not on Dominicus's shoulders. I'm walking around.
I'm near him. I've stayed in his vicinity. I
didn't keep him out of my sight, but I stayed
on the ground. I can walk for a bit. I feel a
little good. I feel great. Are we able to see
this happening? No, the only thing you guys see
is these two walk into the house and the dog
cowering back away from it. Seven. Well, hang
on, I wanted to ask if I could do a quick attack,
because I spotted it first. I want to pull my
gun on this thing quick. I've already got a pistol.
You did spot it, but you didn't get hit or anything,
so no. And also the same, definitely knew you
were here before you knew it was there. I'll
try my luck. Can I jump out the window? I mean,
it seems like a get out right now situation.
And again, initiative, bud. I don't know if this
is outside, just talking to the ladies. Keep
your eyes on those windows. I'm sure everything's
fine in there. It's definitely an empty house
with no giant beasts. So we also need a roll
initiative even though we're not seeing this
happening? Yeah, everyone, just on the off chance
that you guys decide to jump in, if you do, I
want you to roll initiative so I know where you
are. Okay. That is a ten for me. Five for me.
Okay, let me just turn order going. Cartman,
what's yours? I've got a nine. Nine. Brittany?
I've got ten. Ten. Hank? I've got seven. Seven.
Dominicus? Five. Five. Granny? Ten. Ten. Dog
goes on Cartman's turn, so that's a nine. You
know, Matt, I'm happy you got a lower roll with
me for once. Okay, that is the turn order done.
Technically it would be Gertrude and Brittany
first, but seeing as they are currently not aware
that anything bad has happened at all, it is
Cartman's turn. What are you choosing to do as
you see the slavering jaws of a very, very large
wolf? Well, I think Vince is going to take one
look at Hank and just give him a nod and jump
out the window. Go ahead. I'm going to need you
to hit me a 10 stamina for that to jump out of
the window. Just fully no ping out of there.
Yeah, definitely. I'm not going to face a big
beast in a small confined house. I'd rather leave
him to you guys. But 10 stamina, yeah. Yep, 10
stamina and move your token to where it would
be. Your dog also moves on this turn if you wanted
to. Dog can move a little bit back, yeah. I mean,
he was a bit scared anyway, so... he's not a
big fan of the big asshole yeah well he smells
it before me so what did you rouse old man speak
quick before it finishes the tale we've got a
problem in that house over there i think hank
might have to uh figure something out pretty
quick luckily hank is next up in the turn over
i need to dolphin dive tuck and roll and run
basically towards the back That'll be 30 stamina
to dash that far. To get behind people. Oh, hell
no. Right, Dominicus, you're up next and you're
going to hear growling and snarling coming from
the house these two have just fled as the wolf
gets, a big thump as the wolf gets down from
the rafters. Whatever you are, come into the
light and confess. Hear no words of confession
as the hulking form of a eight foot tall mutated
wolf creature fills the narrow gap of the window
frame. It pushes itself out with the shoulders
twisting through the small space and then is
on the street before you. It came to me, so that's
good. It's coming to you. For sure it is coming
directly to you at speed. As it's squeezing itself
out of the window, I'm just lining up a shot
here. Dominicus raises his hammer. That is my
go, yeah? It is your go, yeah? Sure, I'll see.
Just joking. Yeah, so I'm definitely going to
be hitting the wolf. Okay, so Dominicus raises
his hammer and as it's squeezing itself through
the window he starts to swing. The wolf plonks
its feet down at the on the ground outside the
house, and is he struck? Is he struck? Yeah,
because he just had to use a little bit of stamina.
He cannot dodge. He's had to squeeze his fat
wolf ass through the window frame. Damn, he thick.
Damn, he thick. Damn, he thick. Yeah, so he's
too thick to use stamina. Fantastic. Alright,
so... Fire the penny. Yeah, he just plants his
feet. And swings. Shouts, Benance! And strikes
it for 59 damage. Usually when you strike a full
Dominicus, they are at least shoved backwards.
Their bones crack and creak. They are pretty
damn impacted by any blow from you. The wolf
takes this pretty much straight to the shoulder
and does not even budge an inch. Nice. Sadly,
you do not get the stun off of this thing. unfortunately
its attention seems instead to have turned to
the other canine in its vicinity as it turns
its head from dominicus to stare at for snufflepuff
uh and it's gonna take uh -huh it's gonna take
a couple of swipes one at snufflepuff and one
at vince oh both of us okay yep see this got
multi -attack It's going to be the one against
Snufflepuff. So even monsters hunt their own.
Yep. You know, it seems to sniff the air before
doing it, but it hits very lightly, actually.
Only 9 damage for Snufflepuff, and 11, which
probably isn't going to even hit Vince. No, my
DR's 13. Snufflepuff with a 9... Because how
much would it be for me to dodge that? I mean,
stamina. Well, Snufflepuff's in the unfortunate
position of being fairly boxed in at the moment.
The only way it can get past is if it hits 30
stamina to end up behind the wolf in the building.
Do you want to duck under its paws? Nine is fine.
I mean, it's still pretty solid. So yeah, I'll
take a nine. It will now be Gertrude's turn.
Well, you're going to have to kind of wiggle
your way through. Wiggle my way through. Yeah,
you're going to have some difficulty getting
in a place where you can hit this thing. Excuse
me, cutting through. Come on now. Everybody out
the way. Hey, careful. Where's my back? Get out
the way, you fucking piece of shit. She's going
to give him a whacking with the handbag. That's
a 61. Make this count, old one. Let your ears
strike truer than my strength. Do a little bit.
It seems almost indignant to be smacked in the
face by a handbag. It rears back a little and
looks between the six foot man that hit it last
and the little grandma that hit it about the
same strength. It's almost like it doesn't notice
me because I'm so small. You're so small you
nut. I hit it in the bollocks. There's only three
points of damage between both of our hits there.
Me with a hammer, you with your handbag. Speaking
of heavy hitters who hit above their weight class,
Brittany, you're up. So Brittany starts kind
of hopping on her toes, kind of getting ready,
getting pumped. And then she runs over to this
side of the house and then just starts wall running
across the wall. And then as she gets above the
wolf, she jumps off and does like a spinning
ground pound attack straight onto the head with
her bat. You know what? 30 stamina for that one,
but yeah, sure. I completely understand. Completely
understand. Worth every penny. Like, very scary.
Hit me the fat damage for your ninja attacks.
That's 53 damage. And it's a 2 on stun, so I
don't stun him. I will never understand what
force favours your lamb, but I will not question
it while it kills in our favour. Damn straight,
daddy, for sure! If you ever take vows, I'll
see to it that your bat is canonised. Don't worry,
I'll confess my sins later, don't you worry.
I'll add a few to that list before then. Saldanae
being one of them. Oh, jeez, what are you going
to do that fast? Wow, hold on. I would say yes,
queen, but I'm going to take a stop on that one.
Oh, no. No, no. Oh, sodomize other people? Okay,
yes, we'll add that in there. If they used to
be human, does that count as viciolity? Okay.
The more you know. I mean, it's either that or
it's just extreme furry porn. Look at my age,
we can't be picky, dear. And that's how I found
out I like furry porn. Vince, it's up to you
and your dog now. Yeah, I mean, close enough
with the fretted cane and just the D30 for the
dog. So yeah, 3D turns to the jumping attack
for the dog. That came to 7. Terrible roll. Oh
no. Two 3s and a 1. Wolf is just fully going
to shrug this off the smaller hound's teeth not
even puncturing its flesh. 49 with the fretted
cane though. That'll hit. Nice. Oh, she's doing
math again. Yeah, unfortunately. You can see
the calculations going on. All the calculations
going around her head. Wait a minute. Oh wait,
I accidentally knocked 200 health off that fucker.
Wait, what? That's more than 200? Don't worry
about it. I intended for you guys to be able
to see the health bar, but I haven't figured
that out yet. Yeah, that will hit in the way
that your dog's bite did not, as the cane lashes
along its back. But it's up to Hank next, I believe.
Now remember, ladies and gentlemen, you've got
a spear new to your pets. Go in. Crack it in
the nuts with the old spear saw. 65. 65 straight
to the balls. You've got to get both balls in
one swift movement. Otherwise you could suck
one right back up in there. Horrifying. Horrifying
thing to hear. Dominicus, cleanse us from this
sin, please. Good lord. This thing's just getting
battered. This one's hide is proof against weak
hands. I raise up my hammer. There, that's a
good roll right there. That is a good roll. That
is a very good roll. The wolf still can't move
because it's not its turn yet, so it is going
to have to take this hit. So all I need to know
is, does it die? It does not die. In fact, this
thing's looking a little bruised and beaten,
but it's still pretty healthy and pretty strong.
You haven't heard any bones crack, just creak.
It still seems pretty laser -focused in, and
it's not trying to cower away or anything. Okay,
well let me roll my stun as well here. Yeah.
I didn't get a stun. Unless one is stun? Is it
one or four? It's four. Alright, so... Actually,
since Dominicus did the most damage, it is now
the wolf's turn. And it is going to attempt to
grab you in its jaws. You also kind of have a...
I don't think you can squeeze in between people,
unfortunately, Granny. Someone would have to
give you back a space. I'm on the edge of this
battlefield here. Yeah, but Gertrude climbed
over you to try and hit the wolf. Alright, okay.
I can step over Gertrude. I've been carrying
Gertrude on my shoulder this entire campaign.
I'm pretty sure I can just step over her. Yep.
However... You can't really get away from her
in time, I think, because I know Gertrude's tiny,
but I'm still going to count her for... You don't
get a buff because she's short, okay? That's
the best way I can put it. The wolf is going
to go after you because you did the most damage
to it, and it sees that you are finally the biggest
threat. It is going to hit you for 34 damage,
as it grabs you around the chest and its jaws.
and swings its entire body around to throw you
into the room behind it. My boy! 34 minus DR,
and you will be knocked prone, meaning you can't
move. You can still hit, though. Alright, so,
yeah, he just gets knocked. I'm inside the room
now. Yep, it fully swings its entire body around
through its mouth and smacks you into the wall
of the house. He just... He shouts as he's flying
through the air, judgment! And then just a thud
and he's silent inside the house. Gertrude, you
are up next. Your boy toy has been injured. How
will you avenge him? You son of a bitch. You'll
leave him alone. I'm going to shuffle back up
to him. And whack him again for another 53. Take
that, you little bitch. As you smack it with
your handbag, it jolts back a little. Finally,
you see it get rocked on its feet a tiny, tiny
bit. Yeah, that's right. It's still up and snarling.
Brittany, you're up next. Brittany watches Dominicus
get hit and goes into what would probably scare
everybody else, because they're probably terrified
of me as it is, goes into a rage. And so she
legit jumps on the back of this wolf. Can I do
that? It'll cost you, but you can. Okay. Tell
me what you're fully planning on doing first,
though. Oh, she's gonna wail on the back. Like,
wail on the back of the head of this wolf. On
his back. Gets up on him. Like, climbs up there.
I'm gonna say it's... Because you're already
on a high point, I'm gonna say 20 stamina. And
every round you're up there is another 10. Ooh.
This is gonna be tough. Okay. I'm going to get
up there. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do
it. But I'm going to swing my bat into the back
of the thing. Coolio. He can't really dodge you
since you're on him. Okay. It's 40. Aww. But
that's for a stun. Oh, shit. He stunned. There
it is. Oh, it begins. So this... Finally, you
have managed to stagger this beast. You hit his
head so hard that you hear the bat ring in your
hands. And he nearly drops to the floor. He's
just barely standing. Right, up next is Vince.
That's how you do it, bitches! Yeah, I'm half
impressed. But I think I'm going to go again,
just the dog and the fretted cane again. Nice
and easy, so dog, hit, axe. Ten. Again, easily
shrugged off. Yeah, and Vince is going to hit
at 42. Beauty of life. Yes, the arse in favour
thing. Kane comes slashing down. Blood is drawn.
You have to be kind of careful now, because if
you do fuck up too bad, you might hit Brittany.
But for now, you just mildly injure the wolf.
Hank, you are up. Well, this thing has balls.
Let's give it a good old prostate exam. Oh, God.
As the sword spear goes into the sun's own shine.
Now you've got to really tickle the tank. Yep.
You're tickling something. You sure are. I'm
not going to describe that, but yep, you hit.
Dominicus, you currently can't move, but you
can hit, and well, he can't move either. Sorry,
I can't hit. You can hit. You're close enough
that you can still get him. No, with my hammer?
Really? Yeah. Hammer's a big -ass weapon. You're
not that far from him. Just from inside the window.
Jab him through the window. Yeah. Can I do...
I can't actually move. Yeah, you're kind of still
fucked up from getting thrown into a wall. Yeah.
Okay, from a prone position, I'm going to just...
I can still use my hammer. Yep. What the hell's
he going to do? Yeah, so, I mean, I'll roll my
damage. Because I'm definitely doing that. If
I can. You certainly can. Ah, for fuck's sake,
that was one detail I just rolled there. Yeah,
hold on. Supposed to be ten of those. Yeah, there
we go, that's a little bit better. Yeah, so...
He was... He hit the ground with a bit of a thud
and was silent for a while after screaming judgment,
I guess. But he takes... With a hammer in his
hand... twitching a little bit. He manages to
rouse himself. Some sort of up -through strike,
I guess. Gut check him effectively. Yeah. He
plants one boot and just pushes his arm off the
ground. Drives the hammer up the way towards
the window. And I guess we're hitting it from
behind? Pretty much, yeah. There we are. hitting
it in the back without really any um accuracy
at all um still barking holy sounding words just
shouting stuff he's got he's on to penance now
so he's like penance flips through a little book
of words all you see is this holy cross coming
out the window and hammering this wolf on the
back For 61 damage. Yep, it drunkenly attempts
to whip round at you, but can't quite manage
to do it. It's nearly keeling over, still getting
its bell rung by Brittany. Gertrude, it's up
to you. Amazing. Seeing how Brittany has climbed
up on this thing. I'm not about to let the youth
of today get the better of myself and us OAPs,
so I'm going to do try and do the same and scrabble
up this thing and get on top of it as well with
Brittany. Oh, God. Okay. 20 stamina. That's fine.
So I'm up on top of it as well now with Brittany.
Kia! Damn, Dominic, has she been replaced? I've
got a new ride. I wonder if I contain this canine.
I doubt it. I'll kill it way before then, darling.
Don't even try. There you go, that's that damage
hit. It's now got two people on its back, flapping
it with a handbag and a baseball bat. It is looking
very beaten down. It's whimpering all the way.
Dominicus is looking out the window with a sense
of pride. I'm not entirely sure why he feels
this way. We practice getting on the shoulders
by getting on Dominicus all the time. We knew
how to do this. Yeah, exactly. The humour of
the gods shines through even now. Right, Brittany,
it's up to you. Please, God, don't stun him again.
Oh, Brittany is going to just... She's going
to aim. She's going to sit there. She's going
to aim real good. She's going to raise it high.
She's going to slam that fucker down extremely
hard. I'm going to say so hard it'd probably
almost break her baseball bat. Pretty close.
Pretty close. Almost. Don't give Jay that. Almost.
I'm this close to adding to her ability to this
bitch. Damn it. 41. Roll me the stun. Damn it,
you bitch! You motherfucker. Yes. That a girl.
Alright, yeah, he's stunned and he's gonna get
hit for another round. Uh, you know, how about
you guys just roll me a bunch of damage real
quick, because he's not gonna be able to get
up again. Because that's not gonna quite kill
him, but... That's another 62. That'll do it.
There we go. What the hell? I was the one that
stunned him. Can I not get the killing blow on
this one? What the fuck? No, it might be for
your truly. Yeah, actually, it would be because
Cartman's next. Unless Cartman rolls a really
shit damage roll. Well, luckily I have two beasts.
Yeah, go for it. Actually, if Cartman rolls shitly,
I get the kill. Don't go out. That's the lowest.
That's what he shrugged off. Go on. And my damage,
54. Ah, he gets it. So you are all beating the
ever -blowing shit out of this wolf, and very
shortly, out of this wolf's corpse. Its bones
crack and break, it finally gives in, and with
a thump, falls to the floor. Cartman, you will
get 300 blood echoes. 300? Even after he's dead,
Brittany is still wailing on his head. Oh, no,
it's smashed in at this point. No, it's smashed
in. No, it's done. You guys always dishonor my
hunts. I'm going to walk away disgusted. Do you
believe you earned that swing, Vince? I do. That
was an honourable kill. I say so. I mean, I would
even say that Hank would earn this kill over
you. Just going to go ahead and say... You did
fine. But I feel like me, Gertrude, and Dominicus
really earned this kill. I mean, that damn wolf
gave it a prostate exam and cut its nuts off.
Speaking of the kill, the only entryway to this
house that is open currently is the window, and
the wolf is kind of blocking it a lot. Dominicus,
you are the only one in the house right now.
Can you get me a perception real quick? Suddenly,
there's a second one. I did say there was two
rooms to the house, bud. I am not perceiving
anything right now. I'm still trying to catch
my breath. I rolled a one. Okay, cool. Neat.
What are the rest of you guys doing to try and
get this wolf corpse out of the way so that Dominicus
can leave? Or actually, there is a dwarf here.
Can I try and help him? Yeah, sure. First of
all, can I take a healing item? If you have any.
Yeah, I've got one. That's a d10. D10, excellent,
so let's get that in me first. Eight, that'll
do for now. Yeah, so he stands up, he says, Forgive
me, old gods, for what I take into this vessel.
Let the corruption heal the flesh, but not claim
the soul. He knocks it back as quick as he can.
Gets a burst of energy. And can I kick in the
window? The window's already gone. It's the wolf's
fat ass corpse. Yeah, can I kick in the wolf's
fat ass corpse? Can I just kick where the window
is? Uh, sure. Yeah, sure. Hit me a shrimp check
just to make sure you can get this thing clear.
That is a nine. Yeah, you can do it. You can
kind of kick this corpse until it awkwardly flops
out of the way. Letting healers into the house
and yourself out. Hey Gertrude, smell my steak.
I'd rather not have seen where it's been. Alright,
do any of you guys want to investigate the house,
or do you guys want to move on towards the gunshots
you heard earlier? Investigate the house. Yeah,
we should look around and do that, at least.
Yep. I'm going to just move that wolf corpse
out of the way. You guys all enter into the house.
It's alive, it moved! Quick, beat it again! Is
anyone staying outside? I'm going to look for
an ad. I want a skill -based weapon. That's Brittany's
goal. Brittany's searching everywhere. She loves
this bag. Vince, are you staying outside? Dog
and slut. No, I'm going in the house. I want
to explore the house and maybe there might be
some stuff we could take. Right, everyone hit
me with a perception. Seven. Seven. Eleven. That's
a five. A nine. No, I can't go negative one on
my stats. One, two, three. I'm still not perceiving
it. I got a one again. Got a lot of tweaking
birds going around. So, first seven. Matt, what
are you looking for in this house exactly? You
will see there are... It's a fairly standard
Yharnam poor person house. There are dingy windows
all boarded up. There are a couple of nails and
planks scattered in the corner. There's mostly
empty scraps of what looks like food barrels
that the wolf seems to have gnawed on. And there
is a door leading to another room that has been
heavily scratched and banged at. Presumably by
the wolf. What are you looking to find in here?
I'm going to go and see what that wolf is banging
at the door for. Oh, I'm going to move you over
there and then go to Tooken real quick. Is there
a knothole in this? Took, you got an 11 and you're
looking for a finesse weapon, right? A skill
-based one. Yes. Give me one second to pull up
the weapon list. Oh, whoops, that's ranged weapons.
I don't want to give you one of those. I want
to give you a melee. Okay, you see that in amongst
the rubble, right above where there's little
figures, little carved wooden figures. and some
more runes scratched into the stonework. There
is an elegant -looking, large, curved knife.
It looks kind of old. It's not valuable, necessarily,
but it seems like a family heirloom kind of thing.
That will be a skill -based weapon that does
8d10 damage. Wait, hang on, how much does your
bat do again? 9d10. Yeah, 8d10, but it's skill
-based. Oh. Do you get the impression that it
could, in fact, be improved a little? It's not
been taken the best care of. Yeah. Hmm. Because
I only get a plus 3. No, wait. What the fuck?
Oh. I have a plus 3 to endurance, not skill.
I have a minus 1 to skill. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! I've
been reading it wrong the whole time. Wow. Okay.
Oh, how embarrassing. You know what's funny?
I actually have a plus four to blood tinge, and
I find that very fitting. Yeah, definitely. Like,
actually, this seems very, very fitting for her,
considering I'm looking at the blood tinge. You
can take the beast hunter safe, which is what
it's called. S -E -I -F. If you want, or you
can leave it. Everyone else got pretty abysmally
low on that perception, right? I got a nine.
You got a nine, never mind. Never mind, sorry,
Carmen. Okay, go Carmen first. Yeah, Carmen,
what were you looking for? I'm actually going
to look for a new pistol. I'm hoping for a two
-shot pistol, so a gun that fires two bullets.
Okay. Well, if you wanted that, you could have
taken the rifle. No, because I want an actual
pistol, because I'm not very good at rifles.
I don't think. Okay, fair enough. You currently
have the Hunter pistol, right? 68? Sorry, let
me just double -check. I've only got it as a
pistol... No, one -shot matchlock. That's what
I've got. Yep, what's its damage, bud? Oh, sorry,
a 5d10. 5d10, okay. Okay, sure. So, I'm going
to leave that for the second. The rest of you
guys got five or lower, right? Yeah. You guys
don't really find anything of value in this house.
Well, the thing I was going to ask was, I already
know that that leaf sigil is in this room that
I was thrown into. Yep. Am I able to investigate
that? Sure, religion check. There is a couple
around where the big old knife was and then there's
the broken one. Yeah, just religion check and
I'll get you in on that. Yeah, my head is ringing
here. He's just taking a knee in the middle of
this room and he's getting his breath back. Never
mind. It's a fairly common room. Perhaps it means
nothing, really. Hank, you are investigating
the room over here. You guys are making a fair
amount of noise, and you have been fighting the
wolf. As your voices ring out in the clear tones
of the uninfected, you will hear a voice cry
out as well. Hello? Hello? Are you hunters? Well,
that we are. Who are you? I'm Macy. Are the creatures
gone? Is it safe? I do believe so, yes. Finally.
My father. James, is he in there? Oh, the big
wolf boy? No, no, he dead. There's no one there?
There was another room. We didn't look in the
other room. Yeah, she's in the other one, bud.
There's no sign of anyone else in here. Anything
that rings me trash by the wolf. Give me a moment,
I'll clear the door. And you hear the sound of
furniture, I guess, being dragged away from the
door as it creaks open and you see a young girl.
Short brown hair. She looks to be about maybe
10, 11 years old. And she steps out... A queen
in the making. A queen in the making. She steps
out, shaking slightly, looking up, unbelieving
at you. Children do not last long in Yharnam.
Either she's clever or cursed, but ready for
both. You ain't just a ray of sunshine, aren't
you? Oh, you're from the church. He can rain
on my sunshine. There's kids in front of here
now. So behave yourself. I've seen and heard
much worse than that in these late days. You,
sir, the tall one, you seem a church hunter.
I thought the church had abandoned us here. I
haven't seen any hunters or churchgoers in this
part of Yharnam for some nights now. The church
may have abandoned you, Macy, but I am Dominicus
Aeternus of the Old Faith. We fought the beasts
that walk your streets. If your holes speak true,
have you been turned in any way? No, I've no
signs of the infection yet. I hope that stays
the same, but I don't think it's safe here any
longer. I haven't heard anything from the other
houses in some time, and I've been stuck in that
room for days. I don't have much that I can help
you with, but if there's anything I can do to
repay you... Or if I can perhaps beg more help
yet. I know that there was talk of evacuation
to the church district. Macy, hold your courage.
We have driven the beast from your street, but
we are unsure of anything else. If there are
any other beasts, you will not face them alone.
Be sure of that. Right. You will see that Macy
is holding a very fine looking pistol. um in
her shaking hands and uh she isn't raising at
you she just sort of has it it seems to be the
have been her last defense against it can britney
see if it's loaded or not it's loaded like it's
loaded okay yeah she'll come staggering out of
the room if you need blood or or maybe directions.
I know some of you look like you might not have
been in Yharnam long. Do you know how to use
that thing, little lady? Well, enough for what
I needed it for. If it came to the worst. Good
girl, good girl. It smells like shit in here.
Don't mind him. Even though he's a scholar, he's
actually pretty stupid. Young lady, we need clean
water and bandages. Are there any healing supplies
in this house? No one keeps much healing supplies.
The blood cures all, so no one's needed it since
the church gave us this old blood. If it's blood
you need to heal, I can provide it. If that is
all that is on offer, then certainly we will
be happy for the aid. Okay. uh macy will walk
over to the safe the big knife on the wall and
take it down she will gather a glass bottle just
like the vials you guys have been drinking blood
from uh make a small cut in her arm and tilt
it her wrist so that it fills the glass oh hell
no those of you from yharnam will know that this
is what the blood is the church provided it a
while ago and since then Drinking pretty much
anyone's blood, as long as they're not obviously
infected, will heal you. The church is fully
endorsing this, and has been since the start.
They're the ones that recommended using the old
blood. Classic church. Yeah, classic church.
Cartman might have a slightly different opinion
on it. I don't know what it means, but it is
by and large what healing is. The only one who
might not have known this is Brittany. Child,
you do not know what you offer. Your blood may
heal, yes, but... But that will damn all it judges.
True. But we're all damned here, sir. I don't
think it makes much sense now. Amen! Preach it,
sister! Do not make the same sin the priests
made. They called it mercy, too. I think we could
all use a little mercy now. If I may prevail
on you, I probably can only fill a few of these.
I'm not very big yet. My father would fill four
or five and sell them, but... I think I can probably
only do two. Dominicus refuses to take any. She'll
offer it to the rest of you? Yeah, I'll take
them. No, I'm not going to take them. Yeah, I'll
take them. I mean, if she's going to sack quite
some blood for us, the least we can do is be
thankful. Just pick her up and start ringing
her out for some more. Get a few more vials at
you. I like that gun of hers, but I'm going to
hold back on that a second. I think she needs
it more at the moment. She's going to rob her
child. I'm going to say that Brittany... I haven't
robbed her yet. Brittany is on standby if any
of these guys do anything to little girl. Oh
yeah, definitely. It's okay, dear. It's alright.
I'll sort of go and come for her. You're safe
now. How many has she already made? She's just
doing two currently because she is very little
girl. How many has she... Has she already made
the two? Or is she, like, actively making...
Okay, okay. Then I stop her if she tries to start
more. I just go, no, no, no, no. I would have
liked to have not done any of that, but... But...
If you've already done them, then we would...
Your courage does you honour, young one. But
no. If I may prevail on you as one of those cowards,
safe though this street may be, the others are
likely not, I had heard... Something some time
ago, an evacuation, the church offering the safety
of the chapel district. But the meeting place,
I think it was the center of town, and I do not
think I could go there alone. Could I perhaps
have your help once more, Hunters? Of course,
dear. You'll stick with us. You'll be safe enough.
We'll look after you, I'm sure. Well, maybe you
won't because you're now an orphan and history
going. Don't remind her. We have no cars available.
It's no fans. Don't worry. A terrible traumatic
time. She doesn't need an old granny telling
her that she's an orphan. Considering you just
snatched up her blood like it was the last thing
on earth, I'm going to say shut the fuck up.
That was a gift. And I took that gift with open
arms. Is there anything hidden in the room that
I'm now in? In the room you're in, there is some
scant food supplies, some dirty blankets she
seems to have nested up in, a little water in
a pot, but it doesn't seem the cleanest. It seems
she has been drinking it. There is also a couple
of bottles of alcohol that she has not touched
because she is 11. And even in the end of times,
she is not going to touch her dad's whiskey.
Seems like you can make it into Molotovs pretty
easy, if you wish. That's exactly what I'd like
to do. Of course Hank found that. Three. Three.
I am not convinced the church's meeting place
will be a sanctuary, but we will escort you there.
And if any... Now, Mr. Hank, did you ask this
little girl if you could raid her room? Well,
given that I... It's quite alright. Take what
you need. The hunters need all that we can give.
Without you, well, we wouldn't stand much of
a chance at all. You want us killing martyrs?
Then we need to take everything we can get a
hold of within reason, of course. Of course.
I have no issue with that. No more blood, though.
No, not from you. Okay. I could give more later.
No, no. Don't you worry, dear. Kind of creepy.
Kind of weird. You've given more than enough.
The town centre's just north of here. I don't
need... I mean, I can't really protect myself,
I won't lie, but I should be safe once we're
there. I heard that the church hunters were going
to protect us. on our way to the bridge. I won't
trouble you any longer than that. We'll get you
away at safety, don't you worry. It's fine. You
stay with us. Stay with the one that's all dressed
in pink. She's a... fucking nutcase. She'll kill
anything that comes near you. I'm glad to hear
it. Guilty! Guilty! Okay, flick. Climb aboard.
Okay, Macy's going to jump up and laugh and grab
onto your shoulders, just kind of hicking arms
around your neck, Dominicus, and hitch on for
a ride. She'll sort of point as she goes, one
arm around your shoulders, one arm pointing the
way. As a child, I would not be so quick to trust
the church, but if the church does end up hungering
for blood, I will offer mine first. All hunger
for blood. As long as they're not drunk on it,
they won't hurt us too much. I have found exactly
what Brittany is. Hold on, give me a second.
Oh, nice. So she'll, as you guys walk out of
the doorway... Macy will flinch for a moment,
seeing the dog. She's seen what the dogs can
do, but as it tamely laps the blood of the wolf,
she's happy to ignore the puppy. For now. Feeling
very secure on Dominicus's wide shoulders. Dominicus
growls at the dog. Dominicus needs to get over
this fact. Also, this, this, for everyone at
home, I put it in the chat, Tinkerton from Pokemon.
Bright pink Pokemon with a giant. And this is
an actual weapon in Bloodborne. Yep. The Boom
Hammer. So I want to find one of those. A goal.
Not now. That's my goal. It doesn't have to be
next. That's my goal. I'm going to make Tink
a ton. I'm going to make Tink a ton. I'm an actual
Pokemon. We've already talked about this. Now
Brittany's an actual Pokemon. Can we upgrade
my hammer to a Boom Hammer? you can both have
matching weapons one barbie colored one not if
you want later on uh but for now you march out
into the street and she points your way north
you are now headed towards the blender bus fire
you've heard in the distance and towards the
center of yharnam the thick of it where the infection
tends to be worse but hey there's the promise
of church hunters to back you up and to finally
get some answers potentially assuming they aren't
all you know dead, as many things seem to be
in the Arnhem. That will be it for tonight's
episode. You can find us on BlueSky Instagram
and Twitter at A Pint of Pthulhu. We also have
a brand new exclusive to Patreon season running
of The Painted Wastelands, ran by Matt. If you
