1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,800
All right, so on our last session, the party rescued JR and entered into a rather climactic

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:25,120
encounter with Vinny and whoever is taking Vinny for a ride.

3
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:38,760
Through a long series of events, Seth found it necessary to release his demon to go into

4
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:46,720
the Umbra to help Astoria face the enemy.

5
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:52,760
Doing so required Seth to take his own life.

6
00:00:52,760 --> 00:01:03,960
In the meantime, Astoria had channeled the full power of the goddess Artemis in her attempt

7
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:16,960
to rescue Terran and Seth and returned no longer channeling Artemis and found herself

8
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:25,840
lying beside Seth's dead body.

9
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:38,480
The situation as it stands is Olathe, Astoria, Terran, and Bodhi on the little island with

10
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:46,160
the fallen Seth and on the opposite side on the shore where they initially launched their

11
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:54,320
boats is Naomi, Jesse, JR, and Jessica.

12
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:13,480
I think we will just jump into the action where we left off which has Bodhi and Olathe

13
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:29,400
now at Astoria's side attempting to do what they can.

14
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:44,400
Bodhi rather superfluously but thoroughly kneels beside Seth, takes his wrist, feels

15
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:57,800
for a pulse, shakes his head, and crosses that arm across the side of Seth's chest.

16
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:08,480
He looks to Olathe, not sure that Astoria is really capable of much at the moment, and

17
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,400
he says he's definitely gone.

18
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,400
What do we do here?

19
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:29,520
I believe Olathe was actively holding Astoria at the time?

20
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,520
I think so.

21
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:39,480
I remember you made an attempt at an Arate roll that you knew wouldn't work and then

22
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,280
moved to Comfort Astoria.

23
00:03:44,280 --> 00:04:04,920
The answer is going to be we're going to give her a little time and we'll figure it out.

24
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:17,360
She sits down in a semi-meditative posture and gives a little nod as if acquiescing to

25
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,960
wait and see what happens.

26
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:35,920
On the far side, Jessica spotted Astoria reappear and is pacing up and down the side of the

27
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:42,000
lake looking as if she's probably about to try to swim over there.

28
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:52,280
Naomi, you were thickening the gauntlet at last, I checked, when you saw the demon escape

29
00:04:52,280 --> 00:05:02,160
and Jessie was on the dock having just seen Seth's body fall.

30
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,440
What is your next move?

31
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:14,000
Well, it's not like I can go over there, right?

32
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,720
They're already going over there.

33
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,720
I can't leave JR.

34
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:28,440
She's probably going to stand there and wait.

35
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,440
Okay.

36
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:40,240
Anything particular from Naomi?

37
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:51,840
Naomi is going to attempt to continue trying to maintain the gauntlet, thicken the gauntlet

38
00:05:51,840 --> 00:06:01,320
if she can, but she is going to end up snapping a little unnecessarily at Jessica.

39
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,280
Will you sit down already?

40
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:07,120
You're not going to do any good by rushing off.

41
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,200
You're also very distracting right now.

42
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:22,160
She kind of freezes mid-pace and stares at you because you've never snapped at her before.

43
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:30,480
And she kind of sulkingly walks over to the dock and sits down on the edge looking across

44
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,120
the lake without a word.

45
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:42,440
Jessie's like staring at where Seth's body fell, like going back and forth between where

46
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,400
Seth's body fell and the boat and then Astoria and then when they're on the island, she's

47
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:59,440
just like staring, non-blinking, not looking away, watching.

48
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,600
And Astoria.

49
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,040
Your bird is on your shoulder.

50
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,720
Believe you have a Latha wrapped around you.

51
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,200
What's your next move?

52
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,400
Let go of me, please.

53
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,280
Latha would do so.

54
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:32,640
Astoria is going to put her hands on Seth's face and just close her eyes for a moment.

55
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,960
And then she is going to, with her thumbs, close his eyelids and kind of like brush off

56
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:46,080
some of the blood from his face, kind of like trying to clear his face up a little bit.

57
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:53,440
And then she is going to, I guess with the blood on her hands still, she is going to

58
00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:01,400
commence marking runes across his face and his body.

59
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,760
Can you help me take his armor off, please?

60
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:11,760
Ben, I'm gonna need a...

61
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,760
I need an arcade roll.

62
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,440
Don't break it, I just need it off.

63
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,480
Yeah, I'm gonna need an Arte roll.

64
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,800
An Arte roll?

65
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,800
Whatever I said.

66
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,120
Don't worry, I know I'm right.

67
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:35,480
And activate Matter Vision again.

68
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,360
Oh, that's right, because you can't fucking see his armor.

69
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,080
Unless you're telling me that the effect is worn off.

70
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,080
Not yet.

71
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,080
Cool.

72
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:50,600
Still only been like half an hour at most since you went blind?

73
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,600
Yeah.

74
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:58,360
Okay, so you still have LIFO and Correspondence and the Mind Up, so this will be a plus one

75
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,360
diff.

76
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,760
So, what'd you roll?

77
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,760
975.

78
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,920
Okay, that's plenty.

79
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,920
Cool.

80
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:15,760
So yeah, you can now... it's kind of odd watching the outline of his armor fill itself in around

81
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:28,760
his body, which has now faded to... at first, it was starting to fade towards a hollow space,

82
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:35,000
and now that you're looking at Matter, it's starting to fill itself back in as he crosses

83
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,720
the boundary between living and dead.

84
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,520
Life to Matter.

85
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,520
Huh.

86
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,240
Then I will assist in removing armor once I can see it.

87
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,440
That's a big difference in helping.

88
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,040
Historia.

89
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,360
Perception Investigation.

90
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,360
If so.

91
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:17,040
Okay, um... two successes?

92
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,080
Plenty.

93
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:31,200
As you raise his left arm and begin to unbuckle the leather straps that hold the shield to

94
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:44,440
set arm, you glance over the various runic engravings that you would expect from any

95
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:59,080
particular piece of Hermetic equipment, and just inside the upper rim, where it would

96
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:08,280
be facing towards him, and if he were holding the shield up in a guard position, would be

97
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:18,960
roughly level with his gaze, his eye line, engraved in plain English rather than any

98
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:25,440
kind of glyph, you see a phrase.

99
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,480
Five little words.

100
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,160
And it says, for Historia.

101
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,040
For shield.

102
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,040
Always.

103
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:50,160
Um... got me crying in the club now.

104
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,240
She is gonna break down sobbing at that.

105
00:11:53,240 --> 00:12:01,840
Kind of like tracing her fingers over it over and over and over again.

106
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:08,600
Damn it, Seth.

107
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,240
Damn it.

108
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:28,760
We'll send you to your rest.

109
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:42,600
I just wish it wasn't because of me.

110
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:51,120
And she's gonna continue removing the armor, placing it gently and reverently next to her,

111
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,400
kind of trying to pack it up.

112
00:12:54,400 --> 00:13:00,280
And she's going to turn to Olathe.

113
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,240
Do you know which way is north?

114
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:10,520
I've never been good at directions.

115
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,160
With Correspondence up, I should, correct Ben?

116
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,160
Yes.

117
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,040
With Correspondence, you have an innate sense of direction.

118
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,040
Yeah.

119
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,800
So Olathe will point?

120
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:32,900
It would be roughly off to your right, because the house faces west to east, and you're basically

121
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:36,440
just in front of the porch of the house.

122
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,720
Is that up the river?

123
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,280
It would be further up the lake.

124
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:51,320
Basically at a right angle to the direction you guys came from.

125
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:57,280
So back towards the rest of the party?

126
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,360
The party came directly east.

127
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,360
Oh, okay.

128
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,920
So it's further up the lake.

129
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:04,920
Yes.

130
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:05,920
Okay.

131
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,920
Olathe?

132
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Yes, dear.

133
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,920
Can you help me get to the right place?

134
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,480
Can you help me get him loaded up on the boat?

135
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:23,560
I know we need the boat to get across, but I'd like to give him a funeral at least.

136
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,560
Something.

137
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,240
I know we can't do much, but...

138
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,480
What kind of funeral would you like to give him?

139
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:40,000
I'm going to out of character remind that we do have two boats.

140
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,160
One wooden sailboat and one flat bottom metal boat that are both at the island right now,

141
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,160
I believe.

142
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,280
I thought the other one was across...

143
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,940
We all packed into one boat to get back to the mainland.

144
00:14:51,940 --> 00:14:52,940
You are right.

145
00:14:52,940 --> 00:14:53,940
I forgot about that.

146
00:14:53,940 --> 00:14:55,280
I thought it was to the other side.

147
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,920
See, that was a confusing time.

148
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,880
That's why I wanted to make sure that that was clear, because I had been thinking about

149
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:00,880
this during the week.

150
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,880
I appreciate it.

151
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,000
Yeah.

152
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:11,520
I want to get him on that boat.

153
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:17,200
He always said he wanted a Viking funeral, so I guess we can give that to him.

154
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,800
We can make it happen.

155
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,720
And let's see, what did Oletha...

156
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,400
I want to say Oletha has...

157
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,960
Oletha has three strength.

158
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,480
Is she able to pick Seth up?

159
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,000
Bode will go...

160
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:46,080
He'll kind of very gently touch a hand to Astoria's shoulder to kind of let her know that he's

161
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:52,640
stepping around her to pick up Seth so that she's not surprised by him.

162
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:59,440
And he'll reach to put pick up under his arms.

163
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:15,560
Between the two of you, you would definitely be able to carry him back to the boat.

164
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:23,920
So when they get him in the boat, she is going to kind of arrange his body, holding his great

165
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:32,080
sword with two hands, kind of across his torso.

166
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:41,840
And she is going to grab the herbs from her bag and begin laying them around him.

167
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:54,720
And she is going to begin singing a haunting, keening song as she's working.

168
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,200
Distinctly nothing from this era.

169
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,840
It is a very, very old song.

170
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:12,960
And she is going to walk clockwise around his body three times as she's singing, dropping

171
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,460
the herbs over his body and singing.

172
00:17:18,460 --> 00:17:29,360
And then when she's finished with the song, she is going to step off the boat.

173
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:40,220
And she is going to light a couple of matches and drop it on the boat.

174
00:17:40,220 --> 00:17:43,480
And she's going to turn to Bodhi.

175
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:50,480
And she is going to say, can you push that off the north, please?

176
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,040
Before it's gone, dear, are you sure there's nothing you...

177
00:17:55,040 --> 00:18:02,400
I know you always carry a piece of him with you, but no physical items?

178
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:09,040
His bag's over there and his armor is here.

179
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,720
Actually she will.

180
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,720
She will actually.

181
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,560
She is going to cut a lock of his hair.

182
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:24,800
And she is going to braid it into hers.

183
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,800
And then she is going to...

184
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:30,920
Koria.

185
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:38,080
When you touch your hair and begin braiding something into it, you notice something that

186
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:57,600
you have not noticed before now.

187
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,360
That's weird.

188
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,840
She's going to kind of like pull a little bit more of her hair forward as she's seeing

189
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:12,680
that all of her hair that she's able to see is currently white.

190
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,200
And she's going to kind of like shake her head.

191
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,040
She's like, nope, not the time.

192
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:27,640
She's going to cut a lock of hers and leave it over Seth's sword.

193
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:34,000
And she is going to say, thank you, Aletha.

194
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,560
Now I'm ready.

195
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,560
A small nod from Aletha.

196
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,760
A look towards Bodhi.

197
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:51,040
He's going to take a couple steps back from the boat, because it is basically just kind

198
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,720
of rammed up onto the shore this time instead of being pulled up to the dock and neatly

199
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,680
tied.

200
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:05,080
And with a running start, get it boosted back out into the lake.

201
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,560
Ben, the wooden boat would have been tied up.

202
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:15,520
It was the flat bottom that we brought over at full speed.

203
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,240
The wooden boat only made the trip once.

204
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,120
Yeah, then the wooden boat would be on the opposite shore.

205
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:23,960
Wait, no, you're right.

206
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:24,960
You're right.

207
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,960
You're right.

208
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,960
I'm wrong.

209
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,960
I'm on the boat back.

210
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:28,960
Okay.

211
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,960
Yeah, so he'll...

212
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,920
It's recorded that he said it.

213
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:44,880
Yeah, he'll kind of squat down next to it and give it a strong push away from the dock.

214
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:51,640
And Aletha will push with him.

215
00:20:51,640 --> 00:21:01,280
The Keening Song is going to get much louder and it will continue until the boat is no

216
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,680
longer visible.

217
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,400
Okay.

218
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,640
It takes a good while because you're not sitting on a river.

219
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:42,040
The current is pretty mild, but it does steadily drift north.

220
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,800
Then the boat finally passes beyond vision.

221
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:54,560
Astoria is going to kneel down at the edge of the lake.

222
00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:01,160
She's going to say, I love you, dad.

223
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,160
Just in peace.

224
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,160
You deserve it.

225
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:12,360
I'll miss you.

226
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:20,440
We gotta go.

227
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:27,720
I don't know if that thing's going to come back.

228
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:34,960
And she's going to begin collecting the armor pieces and the shield and walking towards

229
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,640
the boat.

230
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:57,880
Aletha will help her carry it and join her.

231
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:15,120
And Bodhi will scoop up his bag and he'll start to pick up the short sword and shake

232
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:19,360
his head a little.

233
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:25,880
Pick it up by the sheath only, not touching the hilt.

234
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:34,280
And then offer it hilt first to Astoria.

235
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,840
I think you're the only one who should carry this now.

236
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:43,480
Thank you.

237
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:53,720
And she is going to strap it to her belt as she is trying to lug all this stuff back.

238
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,840
She's putting what can fit in her bag in her bag and then she's just kind of clutching

239
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:05,560
the rest of it to her chest.

240
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,640
As she's loading everything into the boat.

241
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:22,420
As this is all happening, you realize that Harren's not here.

242
00:24:22,420 --> 00:24:35,320
As you begin keening, he soared up into the sky and as the boat begins to pass from sight,

243
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:43,480
he swoops down from above and circles it for a while.

244
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:50,800
And after a moment, you can't see the boat anymore, but you can track the passage of

245
00:24:50,800 --> 00:25:12,840
the boat by the tiny bird circling above as he says goodbye in his own way.

246
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:24,640
And Bodie lowers the bag into the boat and reaches out a hand to help Astoria on board.

247
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:31,680
Thank you.

248
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:37,080
She's going to sit down in the boat and kind of like stare down at the armor that she has

249
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:50,640
in her lap as they're getting ready to go back across.

250
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,280
And then Bodie will turn to Olathe.

251
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:59,280
Get out of this dark place.

252
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:14,320
Seems like a fair idea to me.

253
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:27,320
Is Bodie going to magic us away though?

254
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,320
He is.

255
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:49,080
He will start the boat drifting across with a little, almost like a little standing Tai Chi

256
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,960
routine at the back of the boat.

257
00:26:53,960 --> 00:27:05,600
And as it starts to drift away, he looks thoughtful and shakes his head.

258
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,040
And you kind of just hear him muttering under his breath.

259
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:15,320
No, no, no, that's not quite right.

260
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:25,120
And he turns and stands straighter up looking back at the house, stretches a little bit,

261
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:29,760
claps his hands together.

262
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,760
And that's a lot of suck.

263
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,240
Lob's a fireball.

264
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:46,680
And back behind you, the house on the island is now merely burning.

265
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:57,200
If it comes back, it's welcome to the ruins.

266
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:06,560
After just a couple of minutes, at the more sedate pace, the boat is drifting up to the

267
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:15,200
dock where Jessie and Jessica are waiting.

268
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:25,560
When Jessie saw the funeral start, she would have started crying.

269
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:32,440
And then crouch and cry like into her arm, probably until they get back and she'll like

270
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:41,760
try to get her shit together.

271
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:54,800
Just before the boat bumps up to the dock, you feel a hand on your shoulder as Jessica

272
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,380
steps up next to you.

273
00:28:59,380 --> 00:29:10,660
She kept a little bit of a distance to that point, very pointedly trying not to pace.

274
00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:18,800
But now she steps up next to you and puts a hand on your shoulder, both as a I'm here,

275
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,680
but also as a heads up, they're almost here.

276
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,520
Yeah, sorry.

277
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:31,800
He was just like, the closest they get to a friend, you know, like ever.

278
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:38,160
It's just hard.

279
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:45,840
Jessica kind of chews on her lip for a second and is audibly or visually trying very hard

280
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,900
not to cry or freak out.

281
00:29:49,900 --> 00:29:55,240
She is putting on a face as best as she knows how.

282
00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:18,840
As the boat bumps up to the dock and Bodie promptly clambers out to tie off.

283
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:28,600
Before Bodie can move further than that, Jessica promptly reaches down into the boat to try

284
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:34,400
and get Astoria out.

285
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:41,000
Astoria is going to kind of like look up surprised a little bit from the armor and she's like,

286
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,240
oh, okay.

287
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:50,960
And she will kind of numbly get out of the boat toting with her the armor and sword and

288
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:57,660
everything in the shield.

289
00:30:57,660 --> 00:31:11,280
She's going to give you a very brief hug with the...

290
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,320
It's pretty obvious she wants to hold you a lot longer than that, but doesn't think it's

291
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,320
the right moment.

292
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,080
Look at them all grow in.

293
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:31,840
And holds out her arms as if to take some of the burden off of you if you're willing.

294
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,960
She's going to vehemently shake her head and she's just kind of hold it closer.

295
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:41,600
I'm okay.

296
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:47,840
She nods and just kind of links her arm through yours and starts walking you back towards

297
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:54,240
the other party members.

298
00:31:54,240 --> 00:32:07,400
And Bodie reaches down into the boat next to help Olathe get out.

299
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:15,600
Olathe will appreciate the help.

300
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,440
Jesse.

301
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:25,080
Jesse.

302
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,080
What doing?

303
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,640
Walking back, I guess.

304
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,720
Okay.

305
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:43,120
So the party, the remains of the party slowly makes its way back to where Naomi is casting

306
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:49,400
and JR is resting on the floor.

307
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:56,080
Everybody that can now see Olathe or see Astoria through something other than life magic and

308
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:02,560
now clearly see the change that has come over Astoria as every lock of hair on her head

309
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:10,760
is solid white.

310
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:23,140
As they gather back around, Jessica kind of moves Astoria to sit down near where their

311
00:33:23,140 --> 00:33:29,680
bedrolls and stuff were left.

312
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,960
And moves as if to sit down with her.

313
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:39,400
This is not a stand around and talk situation.

314
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:45,440
This is a sit down and figure out what the hell we're doing next situation.

315
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,800
Bodie goes to check on JR.

316
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:59,680
And Taron at this point swoops back in and settles himself on Astoria's shoulder opposite

317
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:09,920
from where Jessica is.

318
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:54,720
Jessica starts rummaging in one of the bags and passes a water canteen off to Astoria

319
00:34:54,720 --> 00:35:00,880
and looks around at everybody else.

320
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:07,200
So what do we do now?

321
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,000
I don't think we should stay here.

322
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,920
But where are we going?

323
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:22,920
We should definitely not stay here.

324
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:33,240
I think for the moment we need somewhere safe to let JR recover a little bit and Astoria

325
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:37,400
as well.

326
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:42,040
And then figure out how we're getting Dane.

327
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:58,160
There's some safe houses in this city.

328
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,520
I don't know if they're not raided or anything because you guys were able to get in, but

329
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:13,120
it's worth a shot.

330
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:18,160
Well that does sound like our best chance.

331
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:25,920
Do you know where the nearest one would be?

332
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,520
Let me look.

333
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:36,800
Astoria is going to pull out the book and flip to the section that has the list of safe

334
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:44,400
houses and she's going to find the Chicago section.

335
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:50,200
I don't really know where we are.

336
00:36:50,200 --> 00:37:04,520
Okay, well when you get to that there are two standing Order of Hermes safe houses that

337
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,720
you're aware of in the Chicago area.

338
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:18,000
The first one being where you initially met the party which is well on the other side

339
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:25,280
of the city in the outskirts to the west.

340
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:45,400
And the second one is a bit closer to, well a lot closer to the lake in South Chicago.

341
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:51,200
Two ish miles north of you.

342
00:37:51,200 --> 00:38:06,760
Heading deeper into the city but not really into the hyperdeveloped downtown zone.

343
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:15,560
With the level of knowledge that you have of the kingdom's dominion, it could theoretically

344
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:25,160
reach that far south but you have no solid evidence whether it does or doesn't.

345
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:38,920
Okay, I will show Olathe, well maybe not Olathe.

346
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:43,960
That'll probably get an inappropriate comment.

347
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:50,960
I guess I will, I guess I'm not in the mindset to really be paying that much attention.

348
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:58,600
Yeah, there's this one but I don't know.

349
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,280
This is my first time in Chicago.

350
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:05,160
I don't really know where it is compared to us.

351
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,120
Olathe's gonna kind of look at it.

352
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:14,080
Do you kind of like the head bob nod kind of thing?

353
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,080
That is definitely paper.

354
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:27,080
Jessica looks it over.

355
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,080
And then looks up.

356
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,480
Naomi?

357
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:32,920
Yeah?

358
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:41,440
You know this area fairly well and you helped us get here.

359
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:47,080
Do you think you could get us to wherever this is?

360
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,320
Let's see what we got.

361
00:39:50,320 --> 00:40:02,920
And she'll go ahead and unfold her legs from underneath her slowly and move over to take

362
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,360
a look at the address.

363
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,920
Okay.

364
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:20,600
And can I do a streetwise roll to see if this is some place that Naomi would know where

365
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,600
it was?

366
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:23,600
Okay.

367
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,320
Yeah, go for it.

368
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:33,120
Would you like wits or intelligence?

369
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,120
Wits is fine.

370
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:47,040
Five, six, ten, ten, and two.

371
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,720
Twenty.

372
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:50,880
Yeah.

373
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:59,160
It is certainly South Chicago.

374
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:04,800
Kind of right on the edge of where people usually live and it starts to kind of give

375
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:12,480
way to a lot of industrial stuff, which is a lot of what's around you here.

376
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,280
Like there's neighborhoods and houses and stuff between here and there, but there's

377
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:25,880
just as much like industrial yards and here's going up to the river and the lake and stuff

378
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:26,880
like that.

379
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,000
Warehouses, those kind of things.

380
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:37,160
It would be probably an hour by bicycle to get there from here.

381
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:44,520
The one thing that you know for sure is somewhere along the way getting there, you're going

382
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:52,760
to have to get over the Calamet River one way or another.

383
00:41:52,760 --> 00:42:02,360
You crossed over a bridge further south on your way here.

384
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:12,880
Backtracking that way would make it take three times as long, but you just know that you're

385
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,800
going to have to find some way over the river.

386
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:25,400
You remember previously Seth's suspicion about bridges that it's possible they're being watched.

387
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,440
Choke points.

388
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:39,080
Well, I believe this safe house is probably roughly an hour by bike.

389
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:44,720
If all goes well, I don't know if it may take us a little bit longer since we've got JR

390
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:49,960
now and he's in no condition to ride himself.

391
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:55,800
What's more is we're going to have to cross the river and while we can head back to the

392
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:07,600
friendly bridge that we know of, it's going to add a lot of time to us.

393
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,240
Seth had a good point about bridges and being watched.

394
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:17,640
Yes, I can take us there, but it might be difficult.

395
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:27,720
Ben, since I had enough correspondence assessments to probably see the sun, can we get a rough

396
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:29,920
time check?

397
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,280
Um, five-ish.

398
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:33,760
Okay.

399
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:43,840
Because it was probably not quite five because I want to say it was like 3.30 when you guys

400
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:52,320
got here and then it was across the lake, things on the island, back across the lake,

401
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:58,400
back across the lake again, the fight, funeral and then now.

402
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:16,040
It's probably a little before five.

403
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:28,920
He kind of runs a hand through his hair in a gesture of like collecting himself.

404
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:35,920
So that's a real safe house.

405
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:48,280
It's probably our safest option if we actually can get there.

406
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,720
How many of us are capable of working with matter?

407
00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:59,520
I'll let that raises her hand.

408
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,520
As does Bodhi.

409
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:05,160
What are you thinking?

410
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:11,720
I'm wondering if it may take some time and I don't know how experienced you guys are

411
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:20,000
with it, but I'm thinking that if bridges are a concern, maybe we just make our own.

412
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,440
Doesn't have to be anything pretty.

413
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,960
Just get us across.

414
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:35,040
Ben, as two Chicago people, roughly how big is this river?

415
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,840
I mean, it's not small or a decent chunk of it.

416
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:51,600
There's like a loading piers along it.

417
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,160
You really wanted to go about it.

418
00:45:53,160 --> 00:46:07,120
You could swim it or hop it with horse's magic, but.

419
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:08,120
Bodhi kind of shrugs.

420
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:13,600
I mean, yeah, it would probably work.

421
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:19,280
I don't mind that being a later resort, especially if we happen to find a smaller or quieter

422
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:27,920
area of the river as we're passing, but it's something to at least keep in mind.

423
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:35,000
Yeah, my only concern is it might draw even more attention.

424
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,000
But it's a good thought.

425
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:43,960
Are you thinking they can track magic use?

426
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:51,360
Well, make sure bridge swing just appearing out of nowhere.

427
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,960
Someone's likely to spot it one way or the other.

428
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,320
Yeah, that.

429
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:04,840
But also, I don't really know what all they're capable of, to be honest with you.

430
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:13,080
They seemed to know what we were doing before we did.

431
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:18,400
It's certainly not out of the realm of something one could do if they had the right knowledge

432
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,920
to.

433
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:30,920
Surround an area of a map with magical triggers to let you know who's using in your area.

434
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:36,200
Actually, hold on before we get too invested in this idea anyway.

435
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:45,240
Naomi is going to pull out her compact and make a correspondence roll to look in on the

436
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:50,200
safe house to make sure one it's still there and currently doesn't look like it's already

437
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:51,200
occupied.

438
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,200
Okay.

439
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:58,960
Oh, that's not the best of roles.

440
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,920
It's a three, a four and a five.

441
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,840
Not the best of roles, but for a...

442
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:13,040
Hold on, you're remote viewing, so...

443
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,040
It would be core two.

444
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,040
Yeah, so diff five.

445
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,040
So one.

446
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:20,040
Success.

447
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,760
She didn't use willpower or anything with it.

448
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,320
Okay.

449
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:30,180
You get a bird's eye view of the location in question.

450
00:48:30,180 --> 00:48:33,640
It's still standing.

451
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:38,640
And as is the neighborhood immediately around it.

452
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:44,000
As far as whether or not there's anybody in it at the moment, less clear.

453
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:51,120
Well, the house is still there and the neighborhood doesn't look like it's gone to ruin yet.

454
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,640
So I think we should be okay heading that direction.

455
00:48:53,640 --> 00:49:03,320
I can't really tell if someone else is squatting like we were with the first safe house.

456
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,200
For exactly what I'm...

457
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,960
I'll admit, I'm a little...

458
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,160
That wasn't my best magic attempt.

459
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:19,200
I don't think any of us are at our best right now.

460
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:26,880
I literally blinded myself.

461
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:35,640
But it is currently most likely our safest option, so...

462
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:46,520
Astoria, I'm sorry, I have a question and I don't know if it's too soon for it or not.

463
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,480
Go ahead.

464
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:57,240
Do you know if you manage to take care of that commie, that thing?

465
00:49:57,240 --> 00:49:59,240
I don't know.

466
00:49:59,240 --> 00:50:03,360
I can't remember.

467
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:10,280
Naomi's gonna take a deep slow breath and say that it might still be out there.

468
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:18,280
And if it does, it knows us.

469
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:24,120
I think it's safer to operate under the thought that it might still be out there.

470
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:30,800
Which means wherever we stop, we probably need a fortify as well.

471
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:37,800
Hermetic safe houses are easier to fortify than most things.

472
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:43,800
Jessica has been nodding through this whole exchange.

473
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:49,360
As a rule of fieldcraft, always assume you're being followed.

474
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:56,000
And being followed by whatever could have made that...

475
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:04,160
Spirit storm and called all of those other commies to it.

476
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:08,760
I would feel a lot better being at a Hermetic safe house for the night.

477
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:13,680
Which means we probably ought to start moving just in case it does take us longer than an

478
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,360
hour or so.

479
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:27,360
Because we don't want to be out at dark.

480
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:28,360
No Litha's going to non-agreedence.

481
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:41,360
Well, I don't know where we're going, so someone lead the way.

482
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,360
Can...

483
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:55,360
Well, actually, I'll ask in character.

484
00:51:55,360 --> 00:52:05,080
Uh, Litha, do you want me to try and see if I can help you with that?

485
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,440
If you feel you can.

486
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:14,400
I'm not sure how much I can do, but no harm in taking a look.

487
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:20,000
If everyone else wants to start gathering our stuff and getting JR situated, then I'm

488
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,440
going to see if I can help a Litha real quick.

489
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,800
Okay.

490
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:33,640
Jessica will stay right by Astoria.

491
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:45,360
And Bodie will head over to Jesse and kind of kneel next to her and put a hand on her

492
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,360
shoulder.

493
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,880
Hey.

494
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:55,000
He kind of waits for you to look at him.

495
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:01,480
If like, uh, I'm not talking until we're having eye contact.

496
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:06,120
I don't know what Seth was to you.

497
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:11,800
Seems like he was important.

498
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:16,680
But you gotta put that down for now.

499
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:21,880
She would have like, got, she got her shit together like as Astoria and um, oh, Litha

500
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,760
were like approaching in the boat.

501
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,560
So she's not losing it quite as bad as she was earlier.

502
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,800
Probably like some silent tears, but she's not like, she's not breaking down.

503
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,840
She also hasn't said a word.

504
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:37,200
Oh no.

505
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,240
What is there to say?

506
00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:40,240
Yeah.

507
00:53:40,240 --> 00:53:45,720
I don't know how well your brother's going to walk.

508
00:53:45,720 --> 00:53:47,680
It might be us carrying him.

509
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,080
That's fine with me.

510
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,760
All right.

511
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,760
Thanks.

512
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,440
Let's do this.

513
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,880
Appreciate it.

514
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:21,160
He very briefly flashes you the patented Bodhi Glamour Smile PM and walks over to JR with

515
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:27,800
Jesse in tow.

516
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:34,040
Seeing Jesse walk up, JR kind of pulls himself to a seated position.

517
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,800
All right.

518
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:37,800
Really?

519
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:42,440
What the fuck was all of that?

520
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,040
I don't know.

521
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:45,040
I'm going to be fucking honest.

522
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:46,040
I don't know.

523
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:55,360
I like never know what's going on.

524
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:56,360
All right.

525
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,840
Well, help me up.

526
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,240
Let's get the fuck out of here.

527
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:06,640
I don't want to look at that fucking island anymore.

528
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:16,760
Me either.

529
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:24,320
With Bodhi and Jesse's help, JR is able to get to his feet, but it's probably going to

530
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:30,880
be an arm over each of y'all's shoulders hobbling the whole way there, which is definitely going

531
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:36,960
to cause this to take longer than expected.

532
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:37,960
Naomi.

533
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:38,960
Yes.

534
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,040
What are we magic in about this?

535
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:48,720
Well, this one's a bit of a stretch, which is part of why Naomi has no idea if it's going

536
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:52,280
to work or not, because Charby doesn't know if it's going to work or not.

537
00:55:52,280 --> 00:56:04,360
Right. She is going to go up to Olathe and put a hand on her arm and say, do you mind

538
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,680
if I try some mind magic?

539
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:15,720
Olathe is going to have kind of a curious look on her face and then nod.

540
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:20,240
Give it a try, dear.

541
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:30,200
What I'd like to do, and it's okay if it fails, is Naomi wants to delve into Olathe's

542
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:43,960
mind to try to find if this is less of a actual physical block to Olathe's eyes and possibly

543
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:52,040
more of a mental magical block that she can work loose.

544
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:59,800
If you will permit it, because I do have the XP to do it, I would like to buy Life 1 based

545
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:07,920
on the memories of Olathe showing her what Life 1 looked like while doing so.

546
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:20,000
Okay, as long as this is successful, I'd probably consider that your study and practice for

547
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,560
figuring out Life 1.

548
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,360
I will spend a willpower about it.

549
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:25,360
Mm-hmm.

550
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:26,920
Don't blind me.

551
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:27,920
Do it.

552
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,600
Give you brain damage on top of being blind.

553
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,640
Actually physically removes her eyeballs.

554
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:41,320
I'm going to do a Commie Mater snap.

555
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:46,640
Eight three five plus one willpower.

556
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,280
Solid.

557
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:55,920
Okay.

558
00:57:55,920 --> 00:58:08,160
With that, you are able to get a picture, kind of a Mind's Eye CT scan, if you will,

559
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:17,160
or one of those MRI scans that explicitly show electrical conduction in the brain in

560
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:29,400
lifetime of Olathe's brain, the inside of her weird and appropriate brain.

561
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:40,480
And you see an odd dark area in the flow of mental energy.

562
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:44,080
You took biology in high school.

563
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,780
You know enough to vaguely...

564
00:58:46,780 --> 00:58:48,440
She does have points in medicine.

565
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:55,200
Yeah, you know vaguely where something like the optic nerve should probably be.

566
00:58:55,200 --> 00:59:07,840
And what you see is some kind of magical force manifesting about halfway down the optical

567
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:20,760
nerve where the electrical energy of her brain should be traveling and it hits a block and

568
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:30,640
is seemingly diverted somewhere.

569
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,200
And I add a little bit of flavor text.

570
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:34,680
Go for it.

571
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:39,480
Naomi is going to be quietly singing in Japanese.

572
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:45,200
And even though it makes no difference Olathe-wise, she was maintaining eye contact for foci

573
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,600
purposes.

574
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:56,800
And she is going to look at this blockage, this dark spot, and pull to mind the visual

575
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:07,560
image of Olathe's mind book, the leather bound book with the tree on the front.

576
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:12,400
And while this book is open in front of her, she is going to reach out a very, very gentle

577
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:24,360
hand and slowly, very carefully brush away the block as one might do a bit of dirt that

578
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:28,640
has gotten on a book that shouldn't be there.

579
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:38,920
And she will also give a gentle exhale to blow said dirt away.

580
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:44,360
Give me a perception awareness as you're doing that.

581
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:49,840
Oh, that's not bad.

582
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:50,840
97274.

583
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:51,840
Perfect.

584
01:00:51,840 --> 01:01:00,400
The blockage is correspondence magic.

585
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:08,160
Because she attempted to use correspondence magic, botched it, and it backfired.

586
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:16,040
It is essentially a tiny portal in her optic nerve, parrying the signal away somewhere

587
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,760
else.

588
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:29,280
If one wanted to dispense with it, it would be a fairly simple matter of using correspondence

589
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,600
to counter correspondence.

590
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:40,120
Well, having determined what that is, that's going to be the next roll.

591
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:46,480
Let's see if we can fix what Olathe broke before.

592
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,080
And we've got...

593
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:54,680
Let's see, that's not the best roll.

594
01:01:54,680 --> 01:02:04,100
I've got a three, a five, and a four to start.

595
01:02:04,100 --> 01:02:06,360
If she needs to keep going, she is willing to do so.

596
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:11,000
I'll just say I don't think that's going to be sufficient.

597
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Okay.

598
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:17,600
Let's give it another roll.

599
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:22,160
736 this time.

600
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:35,920
Olathe, you feel a weird jolt from somewhere behind your eyeballs.

601
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,400
And it feels almost...

602
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:42,160
Have you ever had that moment when you...

603
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:49,200
I don't know if you've ever had an ear infection where you needed to take steroids.

604
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:54,240
But when you do that, there's always this moment when the inflammation goes down enough

605
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:59,860
that you feel things open up and pop.

606
01:02:59,860 --> 01:03:02,800
That's basically what you feel.

607
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:08,480
And your vision starts to come back in slowly at first.

608
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:13,400
It's like looking at a TV screen that's just static.

609
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:20,360
And then slowly it forms into black and white images.

610
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,280
The resolution gets higher.

611
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,280
It's technicolor.

612
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,720
And now you're back to actually being able to see.

613
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:36,160
And there's a small Japanese girl about three inches from your face.

614
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:41,800
Overlaid with all the visions that you've got going on.

615
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,840
Oh, thank you, dear.

616
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:50,800
And she's going to blink for a second and then drop the visions so she can come back

617
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,320
to reality.

618
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,360
Snap back to reality.

619
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:56,360
Okay.

620
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,640
Is that back to normal for you now?

621
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,120
Are you okay?

622
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:04,360
It is.

623
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:11,840
It was a little disconcerting because for a moment I still had magic allowing me to

624
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:16,200
see at least matter and life and correspondence.

625
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:21,980
And it was a bit disorienting to have all of them active at once.

626
01:04:21,980 --> 01:04:23,640
But it is much better.

627
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:24,640
Thank you.

628
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:25,840
You're welcome.

629
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,440
And Naomi will sever the mind link.

630
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:30,440
Close book.

631
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:37,440
Put it back on the shelf.

632
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:45,200
Okay.

633
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:53,240
Jessica is going to help reach out to help Astoria to her feet.

634
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,160
I think the rest of them are ready.

635
01:04:56,160 --> 01:05:00,080
Ready to go.

636
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:06,880
I'm going to pack up the armor in a blanket or something in my bag and then just kind

637
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:13,240
of attach it to my shoulders like a little knapsack to go on top of my backpack.

638
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,560
As I'm packing up to go.

639
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:16,560
Okay.

640
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:21,600
And then the sword will be at my hip and then I've got the bow slung over my shoulders over

641
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,520
all the other shit.

642
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,200
Okay.

643
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:32,680
And with that, the group sets off.

644
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:41,840
Karen flies out in front a bit.

645
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:48,800
Bodhi is helping Jesse to hobble JR along.

646
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:54,560
And this kind of brings us to the question of the bicycles.

647
01:05:54,560 --> 01:06:01,120
JR can't really ride.

648
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:06,880
But you did all come here on your own independent bicycles.

649
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,080
Are you going to walk those along with you?

650
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:17,760
Have some of you try to ride and keep pace or stash them potentially to try and come

651
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:21,720
back for them or just give up on them?

652
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:22,720
Definitely walking them.

653
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:23,720
Okay.

654
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:29,000
They are not leaving them behind.

655
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,480
Any objections to that?

656
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:31,480
Nope.

657
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:32,480
Nah, seconded.

658
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:33,480
Nope.

659
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:34,480
Okay.

660
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:45,880
All right.

661
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:57,960
You're definitely making pretty slow progress as you head north.

662
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:06,920
As you leave the park area that was around this lake, you're passing through mostly kind

663
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:17,560
of medium density suburbs, small businesses in the general area.

664
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:29,920
And it is weirdly quiet as you go.

665
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:37,640
You're not seeing really anybody out and about in this part of the city.

666
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:47,120
Not like you saw further west.

667
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:54,560
You make your way up to close enough to the lake that you start smelling it.

668
01:07:54,560 --> 01:08:01,160
The Great Lake that is.

669
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:12,000
And cut your path left kind of along a set of railroad tracks.

670
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:20,360
Which puts you in a little bit of a defile where you have a large raised highway to your

671
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:30,360
left and then for a little bit at least a line of trees between you and the lake.

672
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:34,440
But you're below ground level basically.

673
01:08:34,440 --> 01:08:40,880
So you can't see very far but anybody looking in your direction would probably look over

674
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:47,120
top of you and not at you.

675
01:08:47,120 --> 01:09:10,120
As you get further into the early evening, you pull back into more heavily residential

676
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:17,760
areas closer to the river.

677
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:25,000
Basically on your right along the train tracks is residential and to your left is a bunch

678
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:34,160
of warehouses lined up along the river.

679
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:56,460
You use the

680
01:09:56,460 --> 01:10:07,340
out? No my first the roll was 10 10 7 7 7 5 with a 6 and a 4 from the rerolls. Wild.

681
01:10:07,340 --> 01:10:16,380
Like I was but I got two successes. Damn!

682
01:10:16,380 --> 01:10:25,580
Okay. Milo gets four successes. Can we get those in the dice rolls as well?

683
01:10:25,580 --> 01:10:30,220
Carpy would you be able to add the two successes for me please? I am gonna be

684
01:10:30,220 --> 01:10:32,780
grabbing us food.

685
01:10:32,780 --> 01:10:48,780
Okay.

686
01:10:48,780 --> 01:10:55,940
You know that's kind of appropriate for Astoria. I know. Did you zero out? I

687
01:10:55,940 --> 01:11:06,220
double botched. Oh at this point that is pretty appropriate. It is a time so yeah.

688
01:11:06,220 --> 01:11:09,220
Okay.

689
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:19,900
Jessica also zeros out. Probably because she's looking more at Astoria than she

690
01:11:19,900 --> 01:11:22,780
is anything else.

691
01:11:22,780 --> 01:11:35,780
Those of you with suck in a house just off to the right.

692
01:11:36,900 --> 01:11:51,900
Somebody has cracked the door. This is like not far. It's within a vocal tone.

693
01:11:51,900 --> 01:11:57,060
Like you could speak at a normal tone of voice in here at this distance and

694
01:11:57,060 --> 01:12:07,740
poked their head out. Are you crazy? Walking around in broad daylight? Get the fuck

695
01:12:07,740 --> 01:12:12,620
out of here. Is night safer?

696
01:12:12,620 --> 01:12:20,140
Did you say that? Yes.

697
01:12:22,420 --> 01:12:29,140
You don't want to get their attention. Just leave before somebody sees you.

698
01:12:29,140 --> 01:12:32,140
And the door slams.

699
01:12:32,140 --> 01:12:35,140
That wasn't helpful.

700
01:12:36,140 --> 01:12:45,140
Well it tells us for sure that they're used to someone looking around here.

701
01:12:45,140 --> 01:12:48,140
Are we almost there?

702
01:12:48,140 --> 01:12:51,140
You're not far.

703
01:12:52,140 --> 01:12:55,140
You uh.

704
01:12:55,140 --> 01:13:03,140
Naomi from having scoped before and having the lay of the land roughly would

705
01:13:03,140 --> 01:13:10,140
now know you are at the point where you need to make a decision.

706
01:13:10,140 --> 01:13:19,140
There are three immediate bridges that would get you to the point where you

707
01:13:19,140 --> 01:13:28,140
need to make a decision. There are three immediate bridges that would get you

708
01:13:28,140 --> 01:13:31,140
across to the other side.

709
01:13:31,140 --> 01:13:38,140
The northernmost bridge is a railway bridge and your particular set of train

710
01:13:38,140 --> 01:13:42,140
tracks that you're walking on would take you straight to them.

711
01:13:42,140 --> 01:13:50,140
The south of that is like a two-lane road bridge and a bit further south than

712
01:13:50,140 --> 01:13:59,140
that is like a four-way road bridge that takes you a little bit more round

713
01:13:59,140 --> 01:14:07,140
about. So probably another 15-20 minutes of walking to go that way east and then

714
01:14:07,140 --> 01:14:12,140
up. Whereas the other two bridges pretty much take you straight towards where

715
01:14:12,140 --> 01:14:15,140
you want to be.

716
01:14:16,140 --> 01:14:18,140
Hey Jesse.

717
01:14:18,140 --> 01:14:19,140
Yeah.

718
01:14:19,140 --> 01:14:24,140
Is there any chance you can check and see if any of these bridges that are

719
01:14:24,140 --> 01:14:28,140
ahead of us there's going to be three but we're not too far from where we need

720
01:14:28,140 --> 01:14:34,140
to be. Are you able to check and see if any of them is safer than the others?

721
01:14:34,140 --> 01:14:42,140
Yeah. Do you want me to add correspondence to that?

722
01:14:42,140 --> 01:14:47,140
You're doing it at a distance so yes.

723
01:14:47,140 --> 01:14:51,140
Okay. One roll per bridge.

724
01:14:51,140 --> 01:14:53,140
Fair.

725
01:14:53,140 --> 01:14:56,140
I don't know what you're wanting.

726
01:14:56,140 --> 01:14:58,140
No that probably would be necessary.

727
01:14:58,140 --> 01:14:59,140
Okay well.

728
01:14:59,140 --> 01:15:04,140
Which would give the party time to kind of take a pause and catch their breath.

729
01:15:04,140 --> 01:15:09,140
Hilariously still in view of the guy's door who just yelled at you to fuck off

730
01:15:09,140 --> 01:15:10,140
question mark.

731
01:15:10,140 --> 01:15:13,140
He's probably ducked in somewhere covered.

732
01:15:13,140 --> 01:15:14,140
Okay.

733
01:15:14,140 --> 01:15:16,140
I'm assuming we're kind of getting a little bit of cover.

734
01:15:16,140 --> 01:15:17,140
Okay.

735
01:15:17,140 --> 01:15:23,140
And then with him saying that maybe we should...

736
01:15:23,140 --> 01:15:27,140
Jessica can you make us all invisible?

737
01:15:27,140 --> 01:15:29,140
Literally what I have been trying to ask.

738
01:15:29,140 --> 01:15:30,140
I love it.

739
01:15:30,140 --> 01:15:35,140
She gives you a look of uncertainty.

740
01:15:35,140 --> 01:15:42,140
Oh I guess I could try.

741
01:15:42,140 --> 01:15:46,140
Does Jessie hear that?

742
01:15:46,140 --> 01:15:50,140
I mean unless you've separated yourself from the group who I'm going to say

743
01:15:50,140 --> 01:15:58,140
ducked into a gap between two houses.

744
01:15:58,140 --> 01:15:59,140
Jessie is going to speak up.

745
01:15:59,140 --> 01:16:02,140
I can also help with that.

746
01:16:02,140 --> 01:16:06,140
Dane showed me how to do stuff like that.

747
01:16:06,140 --> 01:16:08,140
Okay.

748
01:16:08,140 --> 01:16:16,140
Well do whatever Naomi was asking you for and I'll think about it and see what I can come up with.

749
01:16:16,140 --> 01:16:20,140
Okay. We got a lot of tens tonight.

750
01:16:20,140 --> 01:16:22,140
Good. It's a good night for tens.

751
01:16:22,140 --> 01:16:25,140
Yeah.

752
01:16:25,140 --> 01:16:27,140
Okay. Give me a sec.

753
01:16:27,140 --> 01:16:30,140
So this first one is what's my diff?

754
01:16:30,140 --> 01:16:33,140
I assume it's like five.

755
01:16:33,140 --> 01:16:34,140
Six.

756
01:16:34,140 --> 01:16:39,140
You're I think six.

757
01:16:39,140 --> 01:16:52,140
That is fine.

758
01:16:52,140 --> 01:16:55,140
Actually no probably would be five or.

759
01:16:55,140 --> 01:16:56,140
It doesn't change that one.

760
01:16:56,140 --> 01:17:00,140
It would be five because you're.

761
01:17:00,140 --> 01:17:02,140
Okay. Wow. That is six.

762
01:17:02,140 --> 01:17:09,140
I know. Okay dude. Hold on 10 6 10 10 9 6.

763
01:17:09,140 --> 01:17:11,140
Jessie got to carry the party because we lost Seth.

764
01:17:11,140 --> 01:17:13,140
Damn. All right.

765
01:17:13,140 --> 01:17:19,140
She is she is feeling the pressure like personal pressure to like step up now that he's missing.

766
01:17:19,140 --> 01:17:20,140
Yeah.

767
01:17:20,140 --> 01:17:28,140
She's been like doing a lot of the training and stuff with him and feels like very much like she needs to be a protector kind of person now.

768
01:17:28,140 --> 01:17:34,140
But she also isn't speaking up because she doesn't know what to say.

769
01:17:34,140 --> 01:17:39,140
Strong silent tape. We love it. We love those.

770
01:17:39,140 --> 01:17:54,140
All right. So with that you're able to get the general vibe of all three bridges and the surrounding area.

771
01:17:54,140 --> 01:17:59,140
The general area is dangerous.

772
01:17:59,140 --> 01:18:04,140
Like the whole area around the bridges is and where you are now.

773
01:18:04,140 --> 01:18:08,140
I'll give you that with your fucking six successes.

774
01:18:08,140 --> 01:18:13,140
There is ever present danger.

775
01:18:13,140 --> 01:18:20,140
As for the bridges specifically.

776
01:18:20,140 --> 01:18:27,140
The road bridge.

777
01:18:27,140 --> 01:18:28,140
The second road bridge.

778
01:18:28,140 --> 01:18:31,140
The one further to the north.

779
01:18:31,140 --> 01:18:34,140
Not the railway bridge.

780
01:18:34,140 --> 01:18:39,140
Seems risky.

781
01:18:39,140 --> 01:18:43,140
As if it is.

782
01:18:43,140 --> 01:18:46,140
Probably not permanently watched.

783
01:18:46,140 --> 01:18:50,140
But it's paid attention to.

784
01:18:50,140 --> 01:18:54,140
Whereas the railway bridge.

785
01:18:54,140 --> 01:18:57,140
At least at present seems to be safe.

786
01:18:57,140 --> 01:19:02,140
And the southern bridge also seems to be safe.

787
01:19:02,140 --> 01:19:11,140
With the caveat of the background level of none of this area is safe.

788
01:19:11,140 --> 01:19:19,140
I think that all along through a Jersey Italian filter.

789
01:19:19,140 --> 01:19:25,140
And did you say the railway bridge was the one we were currently in line with.

790
01:19:25,140 --> 01:19:30,140
Yeah. If you all get back on the railway tracks and keep trucking north.

791
01:19:30,140 --> 01:19:33,140
That will go.

792
01:19:33,140 --> 01:19:36,140
More or less straight towards that bridge.

793
01:19:36,140 --> 01:19:41,140
There are some branches that will take you to a marshaling yard.

794
01:19:41,140 --> 01:19:45,140
But you stay to the left and keep on going and you'll get to that railway bridge.

795
01:19:45,140 --> 01:19:47,140
You said that was one of the safer ones?

796
01:19:47,140 --> 01:19:48,140
Yes.

797
01:19:48,140 --> 01:19:50,140
Quotation marks.

798
01:19:50,140 --> 01:20:01,140
Quotation marks.

799
01:20:01,140 --> 01:20:06,140
Well, Alaysa, I don't know if you know the area better or not, but if our.

800
01:20:06,140 --> 01:20:09,140
If the current path we have.

801
01:20:09,140 --> 01:20:13,140
Is one of the safer options and still slightly more direct.

802
01:20:13,140 --> 01:20:22,140
I personally think we ought to stick with it.

803
01:20:22,140 --> 01:20:25,140
Well.

804
01:20:25,140 --> 01:20:35,140
Could I use correspondence entropy to find the safest path there?

805
01:20:35,140 --> 01:20:39,140
Like, yes, we're going to that place, but basically did.

806
01:20:39,140 --> 01:20:41,140
Okay, cool.

807
01:20:41,140 --> 01:20:44,140
Yeah.

808
01:20:44,140 --> 01:20:48,140
I would say you have basically done so at this point.

809
01:20:48,140 --> 01:20:55,140
Okay, cool.

810
01:20:55,140 --> 01:20:57,140
You Naomi.

811
01:20:57,140 --> 01:20:59,140
I would agree dear.

812
01:20:59,140 --> 01:21:06,140
And hopefully we can do it invisibly.

813
01:21:06,140 --> 01:21:11,140
I've got one other suggestion though.

814
01:21:11,140 --> 01:21:21,140
I thought to have it so that either Jesse or Bodie has complete hands free.

815
01:21:21,140 --> 01:21:28,140
That way if something does come up, they're more like more capable of jumping in.

816
01:21:28,140 --> 01:21:34,140
I may not be as strong as you guys, but I can help Jr walk.

817
01:21:34,140 --> 01:21:38,140
And I'm not going to be as useful swinging any weapons.

818
01:21:38,140 --> 01:21:43,140
He ducks out from under Jr's arm and draws his sword.

819
01:21:43,140 --> 01:21:46,140
That's fair.

820
01:21:46,140 --> 01:21:51,140
Jesse not she wasn't going to let go of Jr so it was going to be Bodie.

821
01:21:51,140 --> 01:21:56,140
Jessica is sitting cross legged on the ground.

822
01:21:56,140 --> 01:21:59,140
Like she's thinking really hard.

823
01:21:59,140 --> 01:22:04,140
And you can kind of hear her muttering under her breath.

824
01:22:04,140 --> 01:22:11,140
The tune of her muttering under her breath is that the other times that she turned herself invisible.

825
01:22:11,140 --> 01:22:20,140
It was mostly the felt like something was guiding magic to imitate her suit that she used to wear.

826
01:22:20,140 --> 01:22:25,140
And it's really fucking weird to try and change it so that it affects other things other than just her.

827
01:22:25,140 --> 01:22:27,140
Because you're not all in her suit.

828
01:22:27,140 --> 01:22:31,140
That would be weird.

829
01:22:31,140 --> 01:22:35,140
Have the feeling of the suit cover the area.

830
01:22:35,140 --> 01:22:49,140
But she puts both palms flat on the ground in a somewhat stereotypical channeling kind of gesture.

831
01:22:49,140 --> 01:22:56,140
Eh. Decent.

832
01:22:56,140 --> 01:23:09,140
And with two sixes you all kind of feel the air around you pop.

833
01:23:09,140 --> 01:23:12,140
Um.

834
01:23:12,140 --> 01:23:15,140
Okay.

835
01:23:15,140 --> 01:23:18,140
And she points at Aletha.

836
01:23:18,140 --> 01:23:23,140
Can you like walk ten feet that way?

837
01:23:23,140 --> 01:23:25,140
And points away from the group.

838
01:23:25,140 --> 01:23:28,140
Aletha does so.

839
01:23:28,140 --> 01:23:31,140
Okay.

840
01:23:31,140 --> 01:23:34,140
You can't see the group.

841
01:23:34,140 --> 01:23:37,140
Well done dear.

842
01:23:37,140 --> 01:23:44,140
I think if everybody stays like really close this might work.

843
01:23:44,140 --> 01:23:46,140
Fuck this is weird.

844
01:23:46,140 --> 01:23:49,140
Is that really close to you or is there a different focal point?

845
01:23:49,140 --> 01:23:57,140
Close to me. I think it's centered on me. I hope it's centered on me and not this piece of dirt.

846
01:23:57,140 --> 01:23:59,140
I guess we'll find out.

847
01:23:59,140 --> 01:24:07,140
Jessica if I can ask you to try to walk next to JR that way we don't lag behind.

848
01:24:07,140 --> 01:24:12,140
Everyone else can move at their paces.

849
01:24:12,140 --> 01:24:15,140
She looks at Astoria.

850
01:24:15,140 --> 01:24:20,140
We can do that. Right?

851
01:24:20,140 --> 01:24:25,140
Yeah. We can do that.

852
01:24:25,140 --> 01:24:42,140
So the group kind of scrunches in a little bit as Jessica with Astoria in tow tries to stay just a couple feet behind Naomi, Jesse, and JR.

853
01:24:42,140 --> 01:24:49,140
And Bodhi just in front of them with his sword drawn.

854
01:24:49,140 --> 01:24:56,140
Milo is riding on Naomi's shoulders because of course he is.

855
01:24:56,140 --> 01:24:59,140
And Taryn is still out in front.

856
01:24:59,140 --> 01:25:11,140
Flying around which more or less just leaves Aletha to figure out where she falls in.

857
01:25:11,140 --> 01:25:16,140
Probably near the front. No actually no. You said Bodhi was at the front correct?

858
01:25:16,140 --> 01:25:18,140
Yeah. He's on point.

859
01:25:18,140 --> 01:25:20,140
Then Aletha will take the back.

860
01:25:20,140 --> 01:25:24,140
Okay.

861
01:25:24,140 --> 01:25:45,140
You're now walking even a little bit slower because you're focused on keeping everybody together. But you are steadily closing in to the river.

862
01:25:45,140 --> 01:26:10,140
The area that you're walking through now is just like proper industrial wasteland. Everything around you at a 360 degree view is concrete and metal and cranes and containers and just the last place I personally ever want to be.

863
01:26:10,140 --> 01:26:15,140
Aletha probably also does not look thrilled about it.

864
01:26:15,140 --> 01:26:26,140
And now I do need Perception Alertness.

865
01:26:26,140 --> 01:26:44,140
Diff 9 explicitly 2 cents danger. Diff 7 for She of the Specialized.

866
01:26:44,140 --> 01:26:53,140
Okay. You know if we can just have this be the trend all night I will take that.

867
01:26:53,140 --> 01:26:57,140
2 suck.

868
01:27:23,140 --> 01:27:33,140
Glad someone's got 10s because that's my second botch of the night.

869
01:27:33,140 --> 01:27:36,140
It's appropriate though the dice no.

870
01:27:36,140 --> 01:27:38,140
Okay.

871
01:27:38,140 --> 01:27:56,140
Taryn has pushed a little bit too far north to see this. Naomi is a little too distracted helping JR stagger along and Astoria is deep in the pain cave.

872
01:27:56,140 --> 01:27:59,140
Jessica.

873
01:27:59,140 --> 01:28:04,140
Kind of turns and squints.

874
01:28:04,140 --> 01:28:10,140
Off to the left at a large crane.

875
01:28:10,140 --> 01:28:15,140
Like one of those big ones that can pick up a whole.

876
01:28:15,140 --> 01:28:22,140
Like not just one of those shipping containers but the ones that can pick up multiple at once.

877
01:28:22,140 --> 01:28:27,140
Jesse Milo and Aletha also.

878
01:28:27,140 --> 01:28:36,140
Yep. Those just them. Sorry I'm thinking I'm missing somebody and it's Bird.

879
01:28:36,140 --> 01:28:40,140
You are. So is Astoria.

880
01:28:40,140 --> 01:28:55,140
There is something moving ever so slightly on top of that crane.

881
01:28:55,140 --> 01:29:01,140
Something very large.

882
01:29:01,140 --> 01:29:03,140
That.

883
01:29:03,140 --> 01:29:10,140
Probably didn't intend to move and be spotted.

884
01:29:10,140 --> 01:29:15,140
But moved enough of one appendage.

885
01:29:15,140 --> 01:29:17,140
Draw your attention.

886
01:29:17,140 --> 01:29:21,140
When you say very large.

887
01:29:21,140 --> 01:29:26,140
At this distance it's not entirely clear.

888
01:29:26,140 --> 01:29:30,140
You're a couple hundred yards from it.

889
01:29:30,140 --> 01:29:35,140
But there is a black form.

890
01:29:35,140 --> 01:29:38,140
On top of this crane.

891
01:29:38,140 --> 01:29:45,140
I guess my question is are we talking human large or are we talking house large.

892
01:29:45,140 --> 01:29:52,140
Are we talking large like that thing that we saw that was a bird the size of an airplane.

893
01:29:52,140 --> 01:29:55,140
Closer to that.

894
01:29:55,140 --> 01:29:59,140
That being said.

895
01:29:59,140 --> 01:30:02,140
Naomi.

896
01:30:02,140 --> 01:30:09,140
You don't see any particular I know you can't see this but in your general surroundings.

897
01:30:09,140 --> 01:30:17,140
You don't see anything more than the normal background.

898
01:30:17,140 --> 01:30:21,140
You probably would not have seen anything at all.

899
01:30:21,140 --> 01:30:24,140
If something hadn't moved.

900
01:30:24,140 --> 01:30:27,140
It's no longer moving.

901
01:30:27,140 --> 01:30:32,140
And it's because it's so distant and.

902
01:30:32,140 --> 01:30:36,140
So little.

903
01:30:36,140 --> 01:30:42,140
You're you actually kind of question if you really did see anything or not.

904
01:30:42,140 --> 01:30:46,140
Everybody other than Milo Milo Milo sees.

905
01:30:46,140 --> 01:30:56,140
My laws are probably digging into Naomi shoulder.

906
01:30:56,140 --> 01:31:00,140
Milo actually no I take it back because his claws give ag damage.

907
01:31:00,140 --> 01:31:01,140
I was about to say.

908
01:31:01,140 --> 01:31:04,140
Probably don't do that.

909
01:31:04,140 --> 01:31:12,140
The hair the hair on him is definitely standing up and there is a very very low growl.

910
01:31:12,140 --> 01:31:14,140
He.

911
01:31:14,140 --> 01:31:17,140
Ben I'm sorry did you see the message I just sent you.

912
01:31:17,140 --> 01:31:20,140
I did and we're now the dog well yeah.

913
01:31:20,140 --> 01:31:28,140
We're going to have to.

914
01:31:28,140 --> 01:31:31,140
That's actually kind of perfect.

915
01:31:31,140 --> 01:31:39,140
Milo is going to push an image.

916
01:31:39,140 --> 01:31:42,140
Into Naomi's head.

917
01:31:42,140 --> 01:31:48,140
A little bit forcefully.

918
01:31:48,140 --> 01:31:51,140
Of the.

919
01:31:51,140 --> 01:31:58,140
You're going to pay attention to this right now variety.

920
01:31:58,140 --> 01:32:02,140
Of just what it is that he can see.

921
01:32:02,140 --> 01:32:11,140
Sitting on top of this crane because he sees it best.

922
01:32:11,140 --> 01:32:16,140
And it's going in your EMS.

923
01:32:16,140 --> 01:32:18,140
Joy.

924
01:32:18,140 --> 01:32:26,140
Now.

925
01:32:26,140 --> 01:32:35,140
Her voice is sounding breathy.

926
01:32:35,140 --> 01:32:41,140
And there's a slight nervous laugh as she's looking up to.

927
01:32:41,140 --> 01:32:44,140
Where Milo is very pointedly staring.

928
01:32:44,140 --> 01:32:53,140
We don't happen to have any arachnophobes do we.

929
01:32:53,140 --> 01:33:05,140
Wait what I don't know that I like that question dear Milo sees a very big spider up there.

930
01:33:05,140 --> 01:33:08,140
Bodie kind of stops walking.

931
01:33:08,140 --> 01:33:14,140
Turns with his sword just kind of dangling beside him.

932
01:33:14,140 --> 01:33:18,140
Did you say.

933
01:33:18,140 --> 01:33:21,140
He sees what now.

934
01:33:21,140 --> 01:33:29,140
Keep your voice down Milo does that mean it can see us even though we're invisible.

935
01:33:29,140 --> 01:33:33,140
I don't think so.

936
01:33:33,140 --> 01:33:37,140
I don't think it would have moved if it could see us.

937
01:33:37,140 --> 01:33:51,140
There's apparently an exceptionally large spider at the top of that crane so I suggest we all pay very close attention to our surroundings because there may be more than one.

938
01:33:51,140 --> 01:34:01,140
Because if that's the thing that the guy on the door was talking about he definitely said they and not it.

939
01:34:01,140 --> 01:34:07,140
Giant spiders fucking fucking giant spiders.

940
01:34:07,140 --> 01:34:09,140
Jessica.

941
01:34:09,140 --> 01:34:11,140
Does in fact.

942
01:34:11,140 --> 01:34:13,140
Have a phobia.

943
01:34:13,140 --> 01:34:17,140
Of spiders.

944
01:34:17,140 --> 01:34:21,140
Breathing a little fast.

945
01:34:21,140 --> 01:34:28,140
Storia is going to reach out and grab her hand.

946
01:34:28,140 --> 01:34:39,140
She catches mid panic breath and looks down.

947
01:34:39,140 --> 01:34:41,140
Okay.

948
01:34:41,140 --> 01:34:44,140
I'm going to focus on that.

949
01:34:44,140 --> 01:34:46,140
That's nice.

950
01:34:46,140 --> 01:34:49,140
And the staying invisible part.

951
01:34:49,140 --> 01:34:51,140
I really don't like spiders.

952
01:34:51,140 --> 01:34:54,140
Yes please very much do keep us invisible.

953
01:34:54,140 --> 01:35:00,140
Why is there a giant spider. Why is that a thing that anybody.

954
01:35:00,140 --> 01:35:02,140
Okay.

955
01:35:02,140 --> 01:35:07,140
Can we can we go. Can we not be here.

956
01:35:07,140 --> 01:35:10,140
Yes, we can go.

957
01:35:10,140 --> 01:35:14,140
A story is there anything about giant spiders in your book.

958
01:35:14,140 --> 01:35:17,140
Is that something like werewolves.

959
01:35:17,140 --> 01:35:25,140
Can I make you a intelligence a cultural or intelligence cosmology maybe.

960
01:35:25,140 --> 01:35:34,140
You could do either and get a different answer for either one.

961
01:35:34,140 --> 01:35:37,140
Is there a difficulty difference.

962
01:35:37,140 --> 01:35:42,140
No.

963
01:35:42,140 --> 01:35:43,140
You do both.

964
01:35:43,140 --> 01:35:45,140
What. Yeah, you could do both.

965
01:35:45,140 --> 01:35:47,140
Cool.

966
01:35:47,140 --> 01:35:48,140
Send it.

967
01:35:48,140 --> 01:35:49,140
What if.

968
01:35:49,140 --> 01:36:00,140
If seven for both.

969
01:36:00,140 --> 01:36:03,140
Six successes for intelligence occult.

970
01:36:03,140 --> 01:36:06,140
Nice nominal.

971
01:36:06,140 --> 01:36:18,140
Solid work.

972
01:36:18,140 --> 01:36:22,140
And three for the intelligence cosmology.

973
01:36:22,140 --> 01:36:24,140
Good enough.

974
01:36:24,140 --> 01:36:36,140
Intelligence cosmology tells you that in other planes to include the dreaming.

975
01:36:36,140 --> 01:36:40,140
Where the changelings are there are giant spiders.

976
01:36:40,140 --> 01:36:49,140
There are other planes than ours were giant spiders just absolutely fucking are a thing.

977
01:36:49,140 --> 01:36:55,140
Occult tells you that it would be.

978
01:36:55,140 --> 01:36:57,140
Barely trivial.

979
01:36:57,140 --> 01:37:03,140
For a sufficiently advanced life mage.

980
01:37:03,140 --> 01:37:07,140
To just supersize the spider.

981
01:37:07,140 --> 01:37:13,140
With enough skill in life magic and prime to make it stick.

982
01:37:13,140 --> 01:37:17,140
Maybe a little bit of mind to make it smarter.

983
01:37:17,140 --> 01:37:28,140
A good enough life mage could just make one of these.

984
01:37:28,140 --> 01:37:35,140
Okay, so it's either natural from a different dimension or created by a mage.

985
01:37:35,140 --> 01:37:38,140
Yep.

986
01:37:38,140 --> 01:37:40,140
Cool.

987
01:37:40,140 --> 01:37:43,140
It's.

988
01:37:43,140 --> 01:37:44,140
What was your question again.

989
01:37:44,140 --> 01:37:45,140
I'm sorry.

990
01:37:45,140 --> 01:37:50,140
It's just asking if you knew anything about giant spiders and.

991
01:37:50,140 --> 01:37:54,140
If there anything like werewolves I don't I don't know if that's a.

992
01:37:54,140 --> 01:37:56,140
An intelligent thing looking at us or not.

993
01:37:56,140 --> 01:37:58,140
Or trying to look.

994
01:37:58,140 --> 01:38:00,140
It's.

995
01:38:00,140 --> 01:38:02,140
Maybe.

996
01:38:02,140 --> 01:38:08,140
I mean there's a couple of avenues for something like that there's.

997
01:38:08,140 --> 01:38:12,140
A natural one from.

998
01:38:12,140 --> 01:38:15,140
The different dimension like.

999
01:38:15,140 --> 01:38:18,140
The dreaming or the umbra.

1000
01:38:18,140 --> 01:38:27,140
And if it's that then it's some sort of.

1001
01:38:27,140 --> 01:38:31,140
Probably very intelligent creature.

1002
01:38:31,140 --> 01:38:36,140
It might be something created by a mage.

1003
01:38:36,140 --> 01:38:38,140
Super sized it.

1004
01:38:38,140 --> 01:38:42,140
Made it stronger smarter larger.

1005
01:38:42,140 --> 01:38:44,140
Anything that a mage.

1006
01:38:44,140 --> 01:38:47,140
Desires.

1007
01:38:47,140 --> 01:38:51,140
But without.

1008
01:38:51,140 --> 01:38:59,140
Without closer examination I couldn't really tell you which one.

1009
01:38:59,140 --> 01:39:07,140
I guess it doesn't matter as much if it doesn't find out that we're here.

1010
01:39:07,140 --> 01:39:09,140
I'll just ask that you can walk into my car.

1011
01:39:09,140 --> 01:39:11,140
Yes.

1012
01:39:11,140 --> 01:39:13,140
Or just a little personal flavor.

1013
01:39:13,140 --> 01:39:14,140
With your.

1014
01:39:14,140 --> 01:39:19,140
Spirit shenanigans.

1015
01:39:19,140 --> 01:39:24,140
As you guys continue walking.

1016
01:39:24,140 --> 01:39:27,140
There is one spirit that stands out.

1017
01:39:27,140 --> 01:39:30,140
As you.

1018
01:39:30,140 --> 01:39:34,140
Start skirting your way around.

1019
01:39:34,140 --> 01:39:36,140
deliberately getting closer to this thing.

1020
01:39:39,100 --> 01:39:41,100
Okay, just checking.

1021
01:39:41,660 --> 01:39:43,820
Making sure y'all didn't want to go fight this thing.

1022
01:39:44,460 --> 01:39:48,540
I don't think anyone else had a death wish aside from Seth. Making sure.

1023
01:39:49,820 --> 01:39:51,820
Off to your left.

1024
01:39:52,060 --> 01:39:54,780
Uh, there is one spirit that stands out.

1025
01:39:56,060 --> 01:39:58,620
Most of the commie in this area are

1026
01:39:59,900 --> 01:40:01,900
kind of twisted.

1027
01:40:01,900 --> 01:40:03,260
Um,

1028
01:40:03,260 --> 01:40:05,740
you've been through industrial areas before

1029
01:40:06,700 --> 01:40:09,740
and noticed that the spirits in them were never

1030
01:40:11,340 --> 01:40:12,780
normal.

1031
01:40:12,780 --> 01:40:14,380
Um,

1032
01:40:14,380 --> 01:40:16,860
They're not really nature spirits at that point. Yep.

1033
01:40:18,220 --> 01:40:20,220
But this one stands out

1034
01:40:21,100 --> 01:40:22,460
and it is

1035
01:40:22,460 --> 01:40:24,460
a man.

1036
01:40:24,540 --> 01:40:29,180
Standing up straight, which is weird because usually these things kind of skulk around.

1037
01:40:29,180 --> 01:40:32,220
Wearing a very old-fashioned looking uniform.

1038
01:40:35,580 --> 01:40:37,580
Um,

1039
01:40:37,580 --> 01:40:40,220
He doesn't have a left arm in that uniform.

1040
01:40:41,340 --> 01:40:43,340
And with the right arm,

1041
01:40:43,340 --> 01:40:46,220
he does a very flourishing salute.

1042
01:40:47,420 --> 01:40:49,420
Straight at you.

1043
01:40:49,420 --> 01:40:51,420
Takes off the hat.

1044
01:40:52,220 --> 01:40:54,220
Big feathered cap on his head.

1045
01:40:54,780 --> 01:40:57,500
And puts it to his belly and bowels.

1046
01:40:57,500 --> 01:40:59,500
And disappears from sight.

1047
01:41:00,860 --> 01:41:04,140
Yes, the important factor because Naomi can see both.

1048
01:41:04,540 --> 01:41:07,340
Was it truly a commie or was it a ghost?

1049
01:41:07,340 --> 01:41:09,340
It is in fact a ghost.

1050
01:41:10,300 --> 01:41:12,300
Very respectful ghost.

1051
01:41:14,140 --> 01:41:15,100
Well,

1052
01:41:15,100 --> 01:41:19,420
upon seeing him bow and maybe before he disappears, maybe not.

1053
01:41:20,140 --> 01:41:21,500
Um,

1054
01:41:21,500 --> 01:41:23,500
Naomi would have

1055
01:41:23,900 --> 01:41:26,300
given a slight dip of

1056
01:41:26,300 --> 01:41:28,300
her legs.

1057
01:41:28,300 --> 01:41:34,940
Knowing she can't give proper bow or anything while attempting to hold JR, but also a respectful nod back.

1058
01:41:36,860 --> 01:41:39,820
Who knows if it was in time before he disappeared or not.

1059
01:41:44,620 --> 01:41:46,620
Okay.

1060
01:41:46,620 --> 01:41:48,620
He would probably appreciate it. He's been here for a long time.

1061
01:41:51,260 --> 01:41:53,260
Probably a lonely old man at this point.

1062
01:41:53,260 --> 01:41:55,260
After a few more minutes,

1063
01:41:57,260 --> 01:41:59,260
probably with all of you,

1064
01:41:59,260 --> 01:42:01,260
definitely with Jessica,

1065
01:42:01,260 --> 01:42:05,260
looking over your shoulders to make sure that

1066
01:42:05,260 --> 01:42:07,260
faint black smudge hasn't started moving.

1067
01:42:07,260 --> 01:42:09,260
It hasn't.

1068
01:42:09,260 --> 01:42:11,260
You come up to the river.

1069
01:42:13,260 --> 01:42:17,260
And the railroad trestle going across it.

1070
01:42:18,300 --> 01:42:20,300
It's the railroad.

1071
01:42:20,300 --> 01:42:24,300
It's nothing particularly fancy.

1072
01:42:24,300 --> 01:42:28,300
Just a single lane railroad trestle.

1073
01:42:28,300 --> 01:42:32,300
Those kind of red metal latticework.

1074
01:42:32,300 --> 01:42:34,300
Your basic thing.

1075
01:42:40,300 --> 01:42:42,300
Anything in particular before we send it.

1076
01:42:44,300 --> 01:42:46,300
That's not a hint.

1077
01:42:46,300 --> 01:42:48,300
I'm just checking to make sure y'all don't have any particular ideas.

1078
01:42:48,300 --> 01:42:50,300
Before you go across.

1079
01:42:54,300 --> 01:42:56,300
Actually, I think there might have been one thing.

1080
01:43:04,300 --> 01:43:10,300
Can Milo make a soul sense roll?

1081
01:43:10,300 --> 01:43:12,300
Okay.

1082
01:43:12,300 --> 01:43:18,300
Yes.

1083
01:43:18,300 --> 01:43:22,300
Need perception awareness for that one.

1084
01:43:28,300 --> 01:43:32,300
Helps if I pull up the right stuff.

1085
01:43:36,300 --> 01:43:38,300
And

1086
01:43:38,300 --> 01:43:44,300
there's no set amount as far as I can tell for what that difficulty would be.

1087
01:43:44,300 --> 01:43:48,300
But he, I will go ahead and put it in the dice rolls what he got.

1088
01:43:48,300 --> 01:43:50,300
Okay.

1089
01:43:56,300 --> 01:43:58,300
Okay.

1090
01:43:58,300 --> 01:44:04,300
My understanding of that is that it is essentially to sense fate.

1091
01:44:04,300 --> 01:44:06,300
Or demise along one's route.

1092
01:44:06,300 --> 01:44:10,300
That is more of death sense.

1093
01:44:10,300 --> 01:44:12,300
He is specifically using the soul sense portion.

1094
01:44:12,300 --> 01:44:14,300
Which I will send.

1095
01:44:14,300 --> 01:44:16,300
Thank you.

1096
01:44:16,300 --> 01:44:18,300
To you.

1097
01:44:18,300 --> 01:44:20,300
Okay.

1098
01:44:20,300 --> 01:44:22,300
He can do both.

1099
01:44:22,300 --> 01:44:24,300
That's right.

1100
01:44:24,300 --> 01:44:26,300
That's what I'm mixing up.

1101
01:44:30,300 --> 01:44:32,300
Okay.

1102
01:44:32,300 --> 01:44:34,300
So he's doing soul sense, not death sense.

1103
01:44:34,300 --> 01:44:36,300
Correct.

1104
01:44:36,300 --> 01:44:40,300
He's making the deliberate perception awareness to look.

1105
01:44:44,300 --> 01:44:48,300
Other than your spectral gentleman behind you and

1106
01:44:48,300 --> 01:44:54,300
Cheelob perching on the fucking crane.

1107
01:44:54,300 --> 01:44:58,300
Nobody in particular in your surroundings.

1108
01:44:58,300 --> 01:45:02,300
Nobody near the bridge either.

1109
01:45:02,300 --> 01:45:04,300
Okay.

1110
01:45:04,300 --> 01:45:10,300
Milo's still distinctly unhappy and Naomi's probably getting slapped in the face with his unhappy tail.

1111
01:45:10,300 --> 01:45:12,300
Swack.

1112
01:45:12,300 --> 01:45:14,300
Swack.

1113
01:45:14,300 --> 01:45:16,300
Okay.

1114
01:45:20,300 --> 01:45:26,300
So with that, Bodhi will lead the way out onto the bridge.

1115
01:45:26,300 --> 01:45:34,300
Things begin to get a little less bleak on this side.

1116
01:45:42,300 --> 01:45:54,300
In the waning sunlight, you actually see a fairly large arm to the north of you.

1117
01:45:54,300 --> 01:46:00,300
Covering a couple of blocks worth of territory.

1118
01:46:00,300 --> 01:46:08,300
But your objective house is a bit further to the west.

1119
01:46:08,300 --> 01:46:10,300
About three blocks.

1120
01:46:12,300 --> 01:46:22,300
Taking direction from Naomi, Bodhi leads you guys a little bit south to start with.

1121
01:46:22,300 --> 01:46:26,300
You kind of skirt away from view of that farm area.

1122
01:46:26,300 --> 01:46:32,300
And you finally get back into a suburban area.

1123
01:46:32,300 --> 01:46:38,300
With a decent amount of trees and even a little park.

1124
01:46:38,300 --> 01:46:46,300
And at that point, I need a perception alertness.

1125
01:46:46,300 --> 01:46:48,300
Hearing based.

1126
01:46:48,300 --> 01:46:54,300
From everybody. Not to sense danger.

1127
01:46:58,300 --> 01:47:00,300
What did you say?

1128
01:47:00,300 --> 01:47:02,300
I don't think I did.

1129
01:47:02,300 --> 01:47:04,300
You did not.

1130
01:47:04,300 --> 01:47:18,300
So we'll call it a six.

1131
01:47:18,300 --> 01:47:20,300
I zero out.

1132
01:47:20,300 --> 01:47:22,300
Cool. Two ones.

1133
01:47:22,300 --> 01:47:24,300
I'll do that to you.

1134
01:47:24,300 --> 01:47:32,300
I also rolled a one, but I still got some successes, thankfully.

1135
01:47:32,300 --> 01:47:36,300
They got to come in eventually. I've had a lot of fucking tense tonight.

1136
01:47:36,300 --> 01:47:38,300
Oh shit.

1137
01:47:38,300 --> 01:47:40,300
Milo zeroed out. He's still spooked about the spider.

1138
01:47:40,300 --> 01:47:42,300
Yeah.

1139
01:47:42,300 --> 01:47:44,300
Okay.

1140
01:47:48,300 --> 01:47:54,300
All of you with more than no suck.

1141
01:47:54,300 --> 01:48:06,300
Here a slightly haggard, breathless bit of singing.

1142
01:48:06,300 --> 01:48:16,300
Coming down the road to your north.

1143
01:48:16,300 --> 01:48:30,300
It's almost like somebody is they'd like to be singing cheerfully, but it comes across more as a nervous tick than anything.

1144
01:48:30,300 --> 01:48:38,300
And seemingly are approaching your particular spot.

1145
01:48:38,300 --> 01:48:48,300
Sun's getting low. You're in the buildings. It's a little gloomy.

1146
01:48:48,300 --> 01:48:56,300
But you can see a human shape up ahead heading your way.

1147
01:48:56,300 --> 01:49:02,300
Kind of quickly.

1148
01:49:02,300 --> 01:49:06,300
Is it on a collision course with us?

1149
01:49:06,300 --> 01:49:20,300
Yes. If you stay in the road where you are, it's half and yours are going to intersect before you make it where you're going.

1150
01:49:20,300 --> 01:49:22,300
I just want to get out of the road quietly.

1151
01:49:22,300 --> 01:49:30,300
Get off the road. Click.

1152
01:49:30,300 --> 01:49:34,300
Jessica is going to kind of hustle with Astoria.

1153
01:49:34,300 --> 01:49:39,300
Not quite pushing her out of the road, but not not pushing her out of the road.

1154
01:49:39,300 --> 01:49:45,300
You're getting out of the road. She's getting out of the road.

1155
01:49:45,300 --> 01:49:49,300
She's still holding onto her hand. So like, go, go, go, go, go.

1156
01:49:49,300 --> 01:49:52,300
Who else?

1157
01:49:52,300 --> 01:49:58,300
Hobble. Yeah.

1158
01:49:58,300 --> 01:50:02,300
Okay. Astoria has controlled the bubble person.

1159
01:50:02,300 --> 01:50:04,300
The bubble is moving. The rest of us should too.

1160
01:50:04,300 --> 01:50:07,300
Yeah. All right.

1161
01:50:07,300 --> 01:50:14,300
After a couple more minutes.

1162
01:50:14,300 --> 01:50:18,300
The figure. Actually, it's probably like 30 seconds to be honest.

1163
01:50:18,300 --> 01:50:23,300
The figure comes more into view.

1164
01:50:23,300 --> 01:50:32,300
It is a dude on a longboard. Booking it downhill.

1165
01:50:32,300 --> 01:50:37,300
That's where the singing is coming from.

1166
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:44,300
Just as he is about to zoop past all of you invisible.

1167
01:50:44,300 --> 01:50:50,300
Without noticing you standing by the side of the road.

1168
01:50:50,300 --> 01:50:53,300
He hits a pothole.

1169
01:50:53,300 --> 01:50:59,300
Doing mock Jesus on this longboard downhill.

1170
01:50:59,300 --> 01:51:05,300
Chase. Dex Athletics.

1171
01:51:05,300 --> 01:51:10,300
I even have some of that.

1172
01:51:10,300 --> 01:51:14,300
What diff? Eight.

1173
01:51:14,300 --> 01:51:17,300
Nice. One success.

1174
01:51:17,300 --> 01:51:20,300
Beautiful.

1175
01:51:20,300 --> 01:51:27,300
You managed to get off of the longboard.

1176
01:51:27,300 --> 01:51:32,300
Not by getting catapulted face down.

1177
01:51:32,300 --> 01:51:37,300
You kind of do that thing when you're losing control of your board and you.

1178
01:51:37,300 --> 01:51:43,300
Hop off the side and run really fast for a second.

1179
01:51:43,300 --> 01:51:48,300
The board.

1180
01:51:48,300 --> 01:51:54,300
And he manages to break his fall just a little.

1181
01:51:54,300 --> 01:51:59,300
Before toppling over and rolling a couple times.

1182
01:51:59,300 --> 01:52:02,300
And coming to a stop.

1183
01:52:02,300 --> 01:52:05,300
Face up.

1184
01:52:05,300 --> 01:52:17,300
In the middle of the street.

1185
01:52:17,300 --> 01:52:24,300
Chase is going to just lay there for at least a minute.

1186
01:52:24,300 --> 01:52:29,300
And I need to verify with you the other bit that we had talked about.

1187
01:52:29,300 --> 01:52:32,300
Is that going to be a thing?

1188
01:52:32,300 --> 01:52:44,300
Yep. That one. Okay.

1189
01:52:44,300 --> 01:52:47,300
Cool.

1190
01:52:47,300 --> 01:52:52,300
Yeah. After laying there for about a minute.

1191
01:52:52,300 --> 01:52:56,300
Kind of.

1192
01:52:56,300 --> 01:53:01,300
Shake himself off.

1193
01:53:01,300 --> 01:53:03,300
Stand up.

1194
01:53:03,300 --> 01:53:10,300
Take a couple of drunken looking steps forward.

1195
01:53:10,300 --> 01:53:14,300
Fall down again.

1196
01:53:14,300 --> 01:53:18,300
Laugh a.

1197
01:53:18,300 --> 01:53:22,300
Kind of angry sounding laugh.

1198
01:53:22,300 --> 01:53:26,300
And get back up and try again.

1199
01:53:26,300 --> 01:53:31,300
Those of you who have it.

1200
01:53:31,300 --> 01:53:34,300
Wits medicine.

1201
01:53:34,300 --> 01:53:42,300
All right.

1202
01:53:42,300 --> 01:53:45,300
What?

1203
01:53:45,300 --> 01:53:48,300
He's at close range.

1204
01:53:48,300 --> 01:53:50,300
I will call it a six.

1205
01:53:50,300 --> 01:53:55,300
Just spotting something fairly obvious.

1206
01:53:55,300 --> 01:53:59,300
I'm going to call it a six.

1207
01:53:59,300 --> 01:54:02,300
Okay.

1208
01:54:02,300 --> 01:54:04,300
Naomi.

1209
01:54:04,300 --> 01:54:08,300
I've always got a lot of blood on them.

1210
01:54:08,300 --> 01:54:10,300
Astoria.

1211
01:54:10,300 --> 01:54:13,300
And Olathe.

1212
01:54:13,300 --> 01:54:18,300
The source of said blood.

1213
01:54:18,300 --> 01:54:25,300
Medicine.

1214
01:54:25,300 --> 01:54:27,300
There is a crossbow bolt.

1215
01:54:27,300 --> 01:54:31,300
In this dude's back.

1216
01:54:31,300 --> 01:54:34,300
In his left lower back.

1217
01:54:34,300 --> 01:54:38,300
In fact.

1218
01:54:38,300 --> 01:54:42,300
Poking out the front.

1219
01:54:42,300 --> 01:54:48,300
Astoria in particular.

1220
01:54:48,300 --> 01:54:52,300
The location of this crossbow bolt.

1221
01:54:52,300 --> 01:54:55,300
It would be fucking miraculous.

1222
01:54:55,300 --> 01:55:00,300
If it hadn't done something to his kidney.

1223
01:55:00,300 --> 01:55:02,300
And or renal artery.

1224
01:55:02,300 --> 01:55:16,300
On its way through that particular piece of meat space.

1225
01:55:16,300 --> 01:55:19,300
That's rough buddy.

1226
01:55:19,300 --> 01:55:22,300
Yeah, that does sound like a lot of not our problem right now.

1227
01:55:22,300 --> 01:55:25,300
Chase.

1228
01:55:25,300 --> 01:55:27,300
I knew that was going to happen.

1229
01:55:27,300 --> 01:55:28,300
Chase.

1230
01:55:28,300 --> 01:55:29,300
For sure.

1231
01:55:29,300 --> 01:55:32,300
I'm going to call it a six.

1232
01:55:32,300 --> 01:55:35,300
Inception awareness.

1233
01:55:35,300 --> 01:55:38,300
Other thing that I had been typing out to you.

1234
01:55:38,300 --> 01:55:41,300
That.

1235
01:55:41,300 --> 01:55:44,300
Like how did character?

1236
01:55:44,300 --> 01:55:46,300
100%.

1237
01:55:46,300 --> 01:55:48,300
But right now.

1238
01:55:48,300 --> 01:55:50,300
Yeah, right.

1239
01:55:50,300 --> 01:55:52,300
Now I did.

1240
01:55:52,300 --> 01:55:54,300
That's rough buddy.

1241
01:55:54,300 --> 01:55:55,300
Okay.

1242
01:55:55,300 --> 01:55:58,300
Chase.

1243
01:55:58,300 --> 01:56:01,300
I'm going to call it a six.

1244
01:56:01,300 --> 01:56:03,300
In the human mind patterns.

1245
01:56:03,300 --> 01:56:05,300
Like.

1246
01:56:05,300 --> 01:56:07,300
Right there.

1247
01:56:07,300 --> 01:56:09,300
I'm invisible.

1248
01:56:09,300 --> 01:56:14,300
But there's nobody.

1249
01:56:14,300 --> 01:56:18,300
That invisibility is so cheap to get because it's even cheaper to see

1250
01:56:18,300 --> 01:56:19,300
through.

1251
01:56:19,300 --> 01:56:20,300
Yes.

1252
01:56:20,300 --> 01:56:22,300
What system mastery?

1253
01:56:22,300 --> 01:56:25,300
We have a bunch of newbies who don't know that.

1254
01:56:25,300 --> 01:56:28,300
I accidentally saw you.

1255
01:56:28,300 --> 01:56:29,300
That's all.

1256
01:56:29,300 --> 01:56:36,300
Spider might not know mind magic.

1257
01:56:36,300 --> 01:56:38,300
Just a regular spooder.

1258
01:56:38,300 --> 01:56:40,300
It probably don't.

1259
01:56:40,300 --> 01:56:43,300
After attempt number two of.

1260
01:56:43,300 --> 01:56:47,300
Stand up and.

1261
01:56:47,300 --> 01:56:51,300
Attempt to continue walking to go fetch his longboard.

1262
01:56:51,300 --> 01:56:53,300
And a quick glance around.

1263
01:56:53,300 --> 01:56:59,300
And also ending up back down on one knee.

1264
01:56:59,300 --> 01:57:02,300
Kind of a drunken looking grin.

1265
01:57:02,300 --> 01:57:09,300
In the party's direction followed by a wave.

1266
01:57:09,300 --> 01:57:11,300
Jessica freaks out a little bit.

1267
01:57:11,300 --> 01:57:12,300
Wait, wait, wait.

1268
01:57:12,300 --> 01:57:14,300
Hold on.

1269
01:57:14,300 --> 01:57:16,300
We're still invisible.

1270
01:57:16,300 --> 01:57:20,300
I didn't think you could see us.

1271
01:57:20,300 --> 01:57:23,300
I don't think so.

1272
01:57:23,300 --> 01:57:27,300
I think I'm just going to go back to normal vision.

1273
01:57:27,300 --> 01:57:30,300
Hey, guys.

1274
01:57:30,300 --> 01:57:31,300
Hello.

1275
01:57:31,300 --> 01:57:34,300
How does anybody feel like taking a.

1276
01:57:34,300 --> 01:57:37,300
I don't feel great.

1277
01:57:37,300 --> 01:57:41,300
I got this thing.

1278
01:57:41,300 --> 01:57:43,300
In me.

1279
01:57:43,300 --> 01:57:46,300
I think it might kill me.

1280
01:57:46,300 --> 01:57:53,300
If it doesn't kill me and you happen to have something to do with that.

1281
01:57:53,300 --> 01:58:03,300
I think most people are like interested in food and medicine right now, and I do have a fair bit of that.

1282
01:58:03,300 --> 01:58:05,300
Not the.

1283
01:58:05,300 --> 01:58:09,300
Get this out of my back variety of met fucking probably that too.

1284
01:58:09,300 --> 01:58:14,300
But anyway.

1285
01:58:14,300 --> 01:58:18,300
And if you guys are with those like Rose people, just kill me, please.

1286
01:58:18,300 --> 01:58:23,300
Honestly, I give up.

1287
01:58:23,300 --> 01:58:26,300
God damn it.

1288
01:58:26,300 --> 01:58:29,300
Naomi is going to.

1289
01:58:29,300 --> 01:58:32,300
Hand J.R. off.

1290
01:58:32,300 --> 01:58:43,300
And she is going to step out of the invisibility.

1291
01:58:43,300 --> 01:58:45,300
Chase kind of.

1292
01:58:45,300 --> 01:58:50,300
Stairs for a moment.

1293
01:58:50,300 --> 01:58:56,300
I'm not the one who's going to be able to heal you, but you don't want to keep going that direction.

1294
01:58:56,300 --> 01:59:10,300
There's a giant spider over there.

1295
01:59:10,300 --> 01:59:14,300
You know, I was really, really hoping.

1296
01:59:14,300 --> 01:59:17,300
Not see an angel.

1297
01:59:17,300 --> 01:59:20,300
And she's face plants.

1298
01:59:20,300 --> 01:59:25,300
The fuck.

1299
01:59:25,300 --> 01:59:26,300
What the fuck.

1300
01:59:26,300 --> 01:59:32,300
To look back towards invisible party hands up.

1301
01:59:32,300 --> 01:59:36,300
Bodie is going to step out of the bubble.

1302
01:59:36,300 --> 01:59:41,300
We're really doing this.

1303
01:59:41,300 --> 01:59:44,300
No, I don't leave him.

1304
01:59:44,300 --> 01:59:52,300
If nothing else, he knows where the Rose people are, so he's a good source of information.

1305
01:59:52,300 --> 01:59:55,300
Who knows, he may have actually come from the same place they have Dane.

1306
01:59:55,300 --> 01:59:58,300
He might have.

1307
01:59:58,300 --> 02:00:02,300
So I guess let's put him back together.

1308
02:00:02,300 --> 02:00:05,300
How this is Bodie again.

1309
02:00:05,300 --> 02:00:10,300
Okay, how far are we from where we're going?

1310
02:00:10,300 --> 02:00:12,300
Naomi.

1311
02:00:12,300 --> 02:00:15,300
The answer to that is about two blocks north.

1312
02:00:15,300 --> 02:00:20,300
It's about two blocks away.

1313
02:00:20,300 --> 02:00:22,300
I.

1314
02:00:22,300 --> 02:00:26,300
Aletha, do you think you could at least stabilize him and we carry on?

1315
02:00:26,300 --> 02:00:30,300
Well, those who are talking of late is activating life vision.

1316
02:00:30,300 --> 02:00:34,300
Okay, go for it.

1317
02:00:34,300 --> 02:00:36,300
Roll them beans.

1318
02:00:36,300 --> 02:00:37,300
She does so.

1319
02:00:37,300 --> 02:00:38,300
Do not.

1320
02:00:38,300 --> 02:00:42,300
Do not.

1321
02:00:42,300 --> 02:00:45,300
But they're pretty true at the same time.

1322
02:00:45,300 --> 02:00:46,300
Blame Ben.

1323
02:00:46,300 --> 02:00:51,300
Do not have to throw it out there once every few months just for the reaction.

1324
02:00:51,300 --> 02:00:54,300
You do not have to.

1325
02:00:54,300 --> 02:00:56,300
Once.

1326
02:00:56,300 --> 02:01:03,300
Which is like basically the same thing as having to one success for two to.

1327
02:01:03,300 --> 02:01:09,300
All well, I'm watching you with.

1328
02:01:09,300 --> 02:01:11,300
Always watching.

1329
02:01:11,300 --> 02:01:14,300
Yeah, exactly.

1330
02:01:14,300 --> 02:01:22,300
With your previous wits medicine check.

1331
02:01:22,300 --> 02:01:27,300
You can at least tell that.

1332
02:01:27,300 --> 02:01:33,300
I think he's not conscious anymore.

1333
02:01:33,300 --> 02:01:37,300
Didn't hit anything extremely important.

1334
02:01:37,300 --> 02:01:41,300
Like, yeah, he's leaking.

1335
02:01:41,300 --> 02:01:43,300
But if it had hit his renal artery,

1336
02:01:43,300 --> 02:01:47,300
he was a thousand percent going to bleed out before y'all did much about

1337
02:01:47,300 --> 02:01:48,300
it.

1338
02:01:48,300 --> 02:01:50,300
At this point.

1339
02:01:50,300 --> 02:01:53,300
Or is kidding.

1340
02:01:53,300 --> 02:01:56,300
Is he actively getting worse?

1341
02:01:56,300 --> 02:01:58,300
He's leaking and there's pouring.

1342
02:01:58,300 --> 02:02:04,300
You know, like, is he going to make it the two blocks without work or.

1343
02:02:04,300 --> 02:02:09,300
You're experienced enough to know the difference between arterial and venous

1344
02:02:09,300 --> 02:02:11,300
bleeding.

1345
02:02:11,300 --> 02:02:14,300
This is not arterial bleeding.

1346
02:02:14,300 --> 02:02:20,300
You theoretically shouldn't drag this guy two blocks,

1347
02:02:20,300 --> 02:02:23,300
but he's probably not going to die if you do.

1348
02:02:23,300 --> 02:02:26,300
If I'm helping carry him, will he make it just fine?

1349
02:02:26,300 --> 02:02:28,300
Probably cool.

1350
02:02:28,300 --> 02:02:35,300
Then Olathe is going to.

1351
02:02:35,300 --> 02:02:38,300
Probably reach into a bag.

1352
02:02:38,300 --> 02:02:42,300
Pull out some kind of plant that thing doesn't know,

1353
02:02:42,300 --> 02:02:46,300
but that would represent strength and use it to boost her strength of life

1354
02:02:46,300 --> 02:02:47,300
magic.

1355
02:02:47,300 --> 02:02:54,300
So life to effect.

1356
02:02:54,300 --> 02:02:59,300
Five five one.

1357
02:02:59,300 --> 02:03:01,300
Get styled on.

1358
02:03:01,300 --> 02:03:03,300
That is a success.

1359
02:03:03,300 --> 02:03:05,300
Yeah, that is a success.

1360
02:03:05,300 --> 02:03:06,300
Hold on.

1361
02:03:06,300 --> 02:03:08,300
You're doing life magic to make yourself stronger?

1362
02:03:08,300 --> 02:03:14,300
Yes.

1363
02:03:14,300 --> 02:03:18,300
Uh.

1364
02:03:18,300 --> 02:03:22,300
Arc of life would drop by one.

1365
02:03:22,300 --> 02:03:25,300
It sure wouldn't.

1366
02:03:25,300 --> 02:03:28,300
Because spark of life is explicitly for healing abilities.

1367
02:03:28,300 --> 02:03:30,300
Is it explicitly healing?

1368
02:03:30,300 --> 02:03:31,300
Yes.

1369
02:03:31,300 --> 02:03:33,300
So you just botched.

1370
02:03:33,300 --> 02:03:34,300
Great.

1371
02:03:34,300 --> 02:03:35,300
Cool.

1372
02:03:35,300 --> 02:03:37,300
Uh, take a paradox.

1373
02:03:37,300 --> 02:03:38,300
Uh huh.

1374
02:03:38,300 --> 02:03:40,300
Yep. Yep. Yep.

1375
02:03:40,300 --> 02:03:42,300
Wouldn't that just be a zero?

1376
02:03:42,300 --> 02:03:43,300
No.

1377
02:03:43,300 --> 02:03:44,300
Five six one?

1378
02:03:44,300 --> 02:03:46,300
Oh, there was a six in there?

1379
02:03:46,300 --> 02:03:47,300
Five five one.

1380
02:03:47,300 --> 02:03:48,300
Oh, sorry.

1381
02:03:48,300 --> 02:03:49,300
I didn't hear that.

1382
02:03:49,300 --> 02:03:50,300
I thought it was a six.

1383
02:03:50,300 --> 02:03:51,300
Nope, you're okay.

1384
02:03:51,300 --> 02:03:52,300
Okay.

1385
02:03:52,300 --> 02:03:53,300
Making sure that I didn't have it wrong.

1386
02:03:53,300 --> 02:03:54,300
Uh, no.

1387
02:03:54,300 --> 02:03:55,300
Yeah, that's botched.

1388
02:03:55,300 --> 02:03:56,300
That's single botched, but it's a botched.

1389
02:03:56,300 --> 02:03:58,300
Wait.

1390
02:03:58,300 --> 02:04:01,300
Is it a life three or would it be a life two since I've done it to myself?

1391
02:04:01,300 --> 02:04:03,300
Now it would be like three.

1392
02:04:03,300 --> 02:04:04,300
Yep.

1393
02:04:04,300 --> 02:04:07,300
That's what I was double checking before I passed, passed judgment.

1394
02:04:07,300 --> 02:04:08,300
Cool.

1395
02:04:08,300 --> 02:04:10,300
We just frequently were wrong on that one in the past.

1396
02:04:10,300 --> 02:04:11,300
Yeah.

1397
02:04:11,300 --> 02:04:12,300
Yeah.

1398
02:04:12,300 --> 02:04:20,300
So, um, it's not super bad, but you are hit by a strong wave of...

1399
02:04:20,300 --> 02:04:21,300
What?

1400
02:04:21,300 --> 02:04:22,300
Wave?

1401
02:04:22,300 --> 02:04:24,300
Strong wave of fatigue.

1402
02:04:24,300 --> 02:04:30,300
Uh, you really just want to go lie down.

1403
02:04:30,300 --> 02:04:33,300
You probably are not going to be useful in hauling this guy.

1404
02:04:33,300 --> 02:04:35,300
Nope, we're doing it again.

1405
02:04:35,300 --> 02:04:38,300
Fuck it, more magic.

1406
02:04:38,300 --> 02:04:40,300
Now he's thinking like a mage.

1407
02:04:40,300 --> 02:04:41,300
Okay.

1408
02:04:41,300 --> 02:04:42,300
Let's go.

1409
02:04:42,300 --> 02:04:43,300
It does increase in difficulty.

1410
02:04:43,300 --> 02:04:44,300
I was about to say, yeah.

1411
02:04:44,300 --> 02:04:45,300
Bullshit.

1412
02:04:45,300 --> 02:04:47,300
I'm throwing a willpower behind it.

1413
02:04:47,300 --> 02:04:49,300
All right, so diff six.

1414
02:04:49,300 --> 02:04:52,300
Oh wait, no, diff seven, but with one success.

1415
02:04:52,300 --> 02:04:53,300
Geez.

1416
02:04:53,300 --> 02:04:54,300
Yeah.

1417
02:04:54,300 --> 02:04:57,300
Seven, eight, two, and a willpower.

1418
02:04:57,300 --> 02:04:58,300
So three successes.

1419
02:04:58,300 --> 02:04:59,300
Okay.

1420
02:04:59,300 --> 02:05:06,300
Uh, you feel a little bit less like you need to go maybe nap nap time.

1421
02:05:06,300 --> 02:05:09,300
And do kind of feel a bit stronger.

1422
02:05:09,300 --> 02:05:17,300
Um, as if you can do most of the work of hauling this guy the next couple of blocks.

1423
02:05:17,300 --> 02:05:19,300
With Bode on the other side.

1424
02:05:19,300 --> 02:05:21,300
I would say that would give me at least strength four.

1425
02:05:21,300 --> 02:05:22,300
Yeah.

1426
02:05:22,300 --> 02:05:27,300
All right.

1427
02:05:27,300 --> 02:05:31,300
Well, this is going to pick him up.

1428
02:05:31,300 --> 02:05:34,300
Can someone grab his board thing?

1429
02:05:34,300 --> 02:05:43,300
And gesture for Naomi to lead on.

1430
02:05:43,300 --> 02:05:52,300
Naomi, I guess we'll go and pick up the sword thing and board.

1431
02:05:52,300 --> 02:05:54,300
The board thing.

1432
02:05:54,300 --> 02:05:55,300
Yeah.

1433
02:05:55,300 --> 02:05:56,300
The board thing.

1434
02:05:56,300 --> 02:05:59,300
She'll pick that up.

1435
02:05:59,300 --> 02:06:08,300
And Jessica, can you move back so that I can see you again?

1436
02:06:08,300 --> 02:06:12,300
She's just going to poke her head and only her head out of her bubble.

1437
02:06:12,300 --> 02:06:15,300
Can she poke her head out of her own bubble when she's the center?

1438
02:06:15,300 --> 02:06:16,300
She's controlling it.

1439
02:06:16,300 --> 02:06:18,300
She'll just wiggle it back a little bit.

1440
02:06:18,300 --> 02:06:22,300
Okay.

1441
02:06:22,300 --> 02:06:24,300
I had the same question, ten foot bubble.

1442
02:06:24,300 --> 02:06:25,300
Yeah.

1443
02:06:25,300 --> 02:06:29,300
She's just going to shift it a little bit behind her for a moment.

1444
02:06:29,300 --> 02:06:31,300
Return to bubble.

1445
02:06:31,300 --> 02:06:32,300
Okay.

1446
02:06:32,300 --> 02:06:33,300
Return to buble.

1447
02:06:33,300 --> 02:06:40,300
And then moving on.

1448
02:06:40,300 --> 02:06:43,300
Adding another cripple to your party.

1449
02:06:43,300 --> 02:06:52,300
Walking two blocks becomes a lot more of an ordeal than walking two blocks should be for just about anybody.

1450
02:06:52,300 --> 02:07:04,300
But more or less as the sun is setting, you arrive in front of the house.

1451
02:07:04,300 --> 02:07:13,300
And hold on.

1452
02:07:13,300 --> 02:07:18,300
Can I just do this?

1453
02:07:18,300 --> 02:07:19,300
Here we go.

1454
02:07:19,300 --> 02:07:24,300
I'll put it in art memes and vibes, I guess.

1455
02:07:24,300 --> 02:07:27,300
Hopefully this works.

1456
02:07:27,300 --> 02:07:31,300
Yeah.

1457
02:07:31,300 --> 02:07:40,300
That's what you see waiting for you.

1458
02:07:40,300 --> 02:07:41,300
There, two-story.

1459
02:07:41,300 --> 02:07:42,300
Got it.

1460
02:07:42,300 --> 02:07:43,300
Yep.

1461
02:07:43,300 --> 02:07:47,300
I love houses like that.

1462
02:07:47,300 --> 02:07:49,300
Is that Charby or Naomi?

1463
02:07:49,300 --> 02:07:50,300
That's me.

1464
02:07:50,300 --> 02:07:51,300
It's Charby.

1465
02:07:51,300 --> 02:07:52,300
Yeah, I thought so too.

1466
02:07:52,300 --> 02:07:53,300
Is it that Charby?

1467
02:07:53,300 --> 02:07:54,300
Yeah, it's a really huge house.

1468
02:07:54,300 --> 02:07:57,300
I'm a big fan of that house, not going to lie.

1469
02:07:57,300 --> 02:08:00,300
I love the skinny long houses.

1470
02:08:00,300 --> 02:08:02,300
Yep.

1471
02:08:02,300 --> 02:08:03,300
Add a character.

1472
02:08:03,300 --> 02:08:08,300
Stinger and I were talking a lot about them while walking through Chicago a couple weeks ago.

1473
02:08:08,300 --> 02:08:11,300
Getting to admire houses exactly like this.

1474
02:08:11,300 --> 02:08:14,300
It was great.

1475
02:08:14,300 --> 02:08:23,300
The one next door looks, I mean is, boarded up on the lower windows.

1476
02:08:23,300 --> 02:08:27,300
Does not appear to be in any use.

1477
02:08:27,300 --> 02:08:32,300
And the one to the right isn't boarded, but it also looks fairly unused.

1478
02:08:32,300 --> 02:08:41,300
This one, on the other hand, looks to be in perfect shape.

1479
02:08:41,300 --> 02:08:47,300
And then all of you, perception awareness about it.

1480
02:08:47,300 --> 02:08:59,300
If six.

1481
02:08:59,300 --> 02:09:04,300
Also, Davion, at what point do you want to start rolling for Paradox?

1482
02:09:04,300 --> 02:09:06,300
How many Paradox do you have right now?

1483
02:09:06,300 --> 02:09:07,300
Six.

1484
02:09:07,300 --> 02:09:08,300
Ew.

1485
02:09:08,300 --> 02:09:09,300
Oogie.

1486
02:09:09,300 --> 02:09:11,300
Would you like to roll for it now?

1487
02:09:11,300 --> 02:09:15,300
If so, I'm okay with that.

1488
02:09:15,300 --> 02:09:17,300
Bird, do you have that chart on hand?

1489
02:09:17,300 --> 02:09:19,300
Somebody has that chart on hand.

1490
02:09:19,300 --> 02:09:20,300
For what?

1491
02:09:20,300 --> 02:09:21,300
For Paradox.

1492
02:09:21,300 --> 02:09:23,300
What about it?

1493
02:09:23,300 --> 02:09:28,300
I swear I saw this chart in the last couple days.

1494
02:09:28,300 --> 02:09:33,300
How many?

1495
02:09:33,300 --> 02:09:35,300
Charby, you are muted.

1496
02:09:35,300 --> 02:09:38,300
Our conversation, Ben, that was with me.

1497
02:09:38,300 --> 02:09:39,300
That was with you.

1498
02:09:39,300 --> 02:09:40,300
Okay.

1499
02:09:40,300 --> 02:09:42,300
I knew.

1500
02:09:42,300 --> 02:09:44,300
Actually, that was the levels of quiet.

1501
02:09:44,300 --> 02:09:50,300
However, I do have the Paradox backlash right above that.

1502
02:09:50,300 --> 02:09:55,300
So I will post that in general.

1503
02:09:55,300 --> 02:09:57,300
You can save it wherever the hell you want.

1504
02:09:57,300 --> 02:09:58,300
Perfect.

1505
02:09:58,300 --> 02:10:01,300
Thank you.

1506
02:10:01,300 --> 02:10:09,300
So roll me six dice, if six.

1507
02:10:09,300 --> 02:10:12,300
Okay.

1508
02:10:12,300 --> 02:10:22,300
Six dice, if six.

1509
02:10:22,300 --> 02:10:23,300
I don't know that I like this.

1510
02:10:23,300 --> 02:10:26,300
What's it mean if I double botch?

1511
02:10:26,300 --> 02:10:34,300
Damn it, Stinger.

1512
02:10:34,300 --> 02:10:37,300
I think it's actually a good thing.

1513
02:10:37,300 --> 02:10:38,300
It is.

1514
02:10:38,300 --> 02:10:42,300
A botch on a Paradox roll clears your Paradox without actually having anything

1515
02:10:42,300 --> 02:10:43,300
that happen to you.

1516
02:10:43,300 --> 02:10:44,300
Oh my gosh.

1517
02:10:44,300 --> 02:10:45,300
What?

1518
02:10:45,300 --> 02:10:49,300
You just cleared all your Paradox and it doesn't hurt you.

1519
02:10:49,300 --> 02:10:55,300
You just feel better now.

1520
02:10:55,300 --> 02:10:57,300
How did you fail backwards into being better?

1521
02:10:57,300 --> 02:10:58,300
Of course.

1522
02:10:58,300 --> 02:10:59,300
Of course.

1523
02:10:59,300 --> 02:11:01,300
He would be the one to do this.

1524
02:11:01,300 --> 02:11:04,300
He would be the one to fucking be the first one to do this.

1525
02:11:04,300 --> 02:11:07,300
All right.

1526
02:11:07,300 --> 02:11:10,300
Anyway.

1527
02:11:10,300 --> 02:11:12,300
Will Wheaton powers activate?

1528
02:11:12,300 --> 02:11:17,300
Back to the perception awarenesses that we're rolling about.

1529
02:11:17,300 --> 02:11:18,300
Five and two ones.

1530
02:11:18,300 --> 02:11:21,300
I'm looking at it and I'm going, hmm.

1531
02:11:21,300 --> 02:11:24,300
I've never rolled Paradox before.

1532
02:11:24,300 --> 02:11:25,300
I'm concerned.

1533
02:11:25,300 --> 02:11:27,300
And I was about to hurt him too.

1534
02:11:27,300 --> 02:11:28,300
All right.

1535
02:11:28,300 --> 02:11:32,300
I was about to hurt him too.

1536
02:11:32,300 --> 02:11:33,300
He said.

1537
02:11:33,300 --> 02:11:36,300
I knew he was about to hurt me.

1538
02:11:36,300 --> 02:11:40,300
I knew what he was going to do.

1539
02:11:40,300 --> 02:11:45,300
That's why when I double botched, I was like, oh shit.

1540
02:11:45,300 --> 02:11:47,300
Real bad or real good.

1541
02:11:47,300 --> 02:11:49,300
I've already been blind.

1542
02:11:49,300 --> 02:11:50,300
Let's do this one.

1543
02:11:50,300 --> 02:11:51,300
Yeah.

1544
02:11:51,300 --> 02:11:56,300
I think the only time I've done another paradox roll was with fucking fronds.

1545
02:11:56,300 --> 02:11:58,300
Yeah.

1546
02:11:58,300 --> 02:12:02,300
And that was I got told after the fact that if I got 15 successes or more,

1547
02:12:02,300 --> 02:12:04,300
Franz just died on the spot.

1548
02:12:04,300 --> 02:12:08,300
He was going to cease to exist.

1549
02:12:08,300 --> 02:12:11,300
Count yourself lucky.

1550
02:12:11,300 --> 02:12:15,300
Now we're just going to come out of that bar and there was just going to be a

1551
02:12:15,300 --> 02:12:19,300
set shaped gap in the fabric of the universe.

1552
02:12:19,300 --> 02:12:21,300
Seth.

1553
02:12:21,300 --> 02:12:22,300
Seth.

1554
02:12:22,300 --> 02:12:25,300
Yes, it was going to be Seth just to make it more confusing.

1555
02:12:25,300 --> 02:12:28,300
That's a big gap in the fabric of the story is heart right now.

1556
02:12:28,300 --> 02:12:30,300
I was about to say.

1557
02:12:30,300 --> 02:12:31,300
All right.

1558
02:12:31,300 --> 02:12:33,300
Anyway, back to the plot.

1559
02:12:33,300 --> 02:12:36,300
Perception awareness from all you chuckle fucks.

1560
02:12:36,300 --> 02:12:38,300
Wait, awareness or alertness?

1561
02:12:38,300 --> 02:12:39,300
Awareness.

1562
02:12:39,300 --> 02:12:41,300
Explicitly awareness.

1563
02:12:41,300 --> 02:12:43,300
I'm sorry.

1564
02:12:43,300 --> 02:12:46,300
I think I just lost the.

1565
02:12:46,300 --> 02:12:49,300
I don't know if I rolled that before or not, so I'll roll it again, I guess.

1566
02:12:49,300 --> 02:12:50,300
Oh my God.

1567
02:12:50,300 --> 02:12:51,300
You said perception awareness?

1568
02:12:51,300 --> 02:12:55,300
Yes.

1569
02:12:55,300 --> 02:12:57,300
What did?

1570
02:12:57,300 --> 02:12:58,300
Six.

1571
02:12:58,300 --> 02:13:01,300
I botch.

1572
02:13:01,300 --> 02:13:03,300
Are you serious?

1573
02:13:03,300 --> 02:13:06,300
Seven four two two one one.

1574
02:13:06,300 --> 02:13:07,300
I botch.

1575
02:13:07,300 --> 02:13:08,300
All right.

1576
02:13:08,300 --> 02:13:28,300
The user walks straight towards the house, puts her hand on the doorknob as if to open the door and promptly gets yeeted down the stairs, landing on her butt and suffering one point of bashing damage.

1577
02:13:28,300 --> 02:13:29,300
Yeah.

1578
02:13:29,300 --> 02:13:35,300
User has been kicked from your channel.

1579
02:13:35,300 --> 02:13:41,300
Anybody else in the dice rolls chat?

1580
02:13:41,300 --> 02:13:46,300
Look, look, look, apparently just going to get my ones about it.

1581
02:13:46,300 --> 02:13:58,300
OK.

1582
02:13:58,300 --> 02:14:04,300
I gotta be ready for that next refill reflex catch of someone.

1583
02:14:04,300 --> 02:14:09,300
I'm going to get myself getting yeeted by a house.

1584
02:14:09,300 --> 02:14:10,300
Hey, I didn't get a role for that.

1585
02:14:10,300 --> 02:14:11,300
OK.

1586
02:14:11,300 --> 02:14:14,300
That might have made it.

1587
02:14:14,300 --> 02:14:15,300
Nope.

1588
02:14:15,300 --> 02:14:22,300
You, you, you, you made the profit of a botch, so now suffer the consequences of a botch.

1589
02:14:22,300 --> 02:14:35,300
The rest of you can clearly see that this house is to use the highly technical term, warded up the ass.

1590
02:14:35,300 --> 02:14:44,300
This is immediately obvious to all of you.

1591
02:14:44,300 --> 02:14:52,300
Of course, the two with the most successes don't have the magical training to know what I'm about to fucking tell them.

1592
02:14:52,300 --> 02:14:54,300
Hell no.

1593
02:14:54,300 --> 02:14:57,300
Welcome to botching as the DM.

1594
02:14:57,300 --> 02:14:58,300
Yeah.

1595
02:14:58,300 --> 02:15:01,300
Can I rely on Milo being something of a translator?

1596
02:15:01,300 --> 02:15:03,300
Yes.

1597
02:15:03,300 --> 02:15:05,300
Milo.

1598
02:15:05,300 --> 02:15:10,300
Walk kind of force himself off of your shoulder.

1599
02:15:10,300 --> 02:15:31,300
Walks past where Olathe is sitting on the floor and kind of snorts in where I'm going to nod and go, yeah, it's it's yeah, it follows and flicks his tail at a point near the door, which the tail kind of bounces off something he can't see.

1600
02:15:31,300 --> 02:15:43,300
He turns. He doesn't turn his head turns like an owl backwards and looks at Astoria.

1601
02:15:43,300 --> 02:15:47,300
This is border Hermes bullshit, right?

1602
02:15:47,300 --> 02:15:51,300
You're border Hermes bullshit, right?

1603
02:15:51,300 --> 02:15:54,300
Yeah, let me clear it.

1604
02:15:54,300 --> 02:15:57,300
No, no, no.

1605
02:15:57,300 --> 02:16:02,300
Bad. Don't clear it. We need it.

1606
02:16:02,300 --> 02:16:10,300
Just do some border Hermes bullshit so it knows that you're it.

1607
02:16:10,300 --> 02:16:13,300
Yeah.

1608
02:16:13,300 --> 02:16:20,300
Clear Ward bad. Ward keep safe. He's deliberately being an asshole at this point.

1609
02:16:20,300 --> 02:16:26,300
Just make it open.

1610
02:16:26,300 --> 02:16:29,300
Okay.

1611
02:16:29,300 --> 02:16:35,300
I'm going to open without breaking her order of Hermes.

1612
02:16:35,300 --> 02:16:37,300
Okay.

1613
02:16:37,300 --> 02:16:43,300
Give me wits.

1614
02:16:43,300 --> 02:16:47,300
Colt, I think.

1615
02:16:47,300 --> 02:16:50,300
Yes, it was a cult.

1616
02:16:50,300 --> 02:16:54,300
What if

1617
02:16:54,300 --> 02:16:59,300
six because you've been order of Hermes your entire life.

1618
02:16:59,300 --> 02:17:02,300
So I got a question.

1619
02:17:02,300 --> 02:17:09,300
Was that mind link telepathy said in a way that just Astoria could hear?

1620
02:17:09,300 --> 02:17:10,300
Astoria and.

1621
02:17:10,300 --> 02:17:11,300
Telepathy?

1622
02:17:11,300 --> 02:17:12,300
Yes.

1623
02:17:12,300 --> 02:17:13,300
From who?

1624
02:17:13,300 --> 02:17:16,300
From Milo.

1625
02:17:16,300 --> 02:17:19,300
Why do you think he always speaks in people's brains?

1626
02:17:19,300 --> 02:17:21,300
He doesn't speak out loud.

1627
02:17:21,300 --> 02:17:22,300
Okay.

1628
02:17:22,300 --> 02:17:27,300
Yeah.

1629
02:17:27,300 --> 02:17:32,300
Just Milo or just Astoria and Naomi could hear that.

1630
02:17:32,300 --> 02:17:39,300
Naomi will gripe at him. You don't have to be such an asshole about it.

1631
02:17:39,300 --> 02:17:47,300
Where just Naomi can hear he's going to mumble and she doesn't have to be so dumb about it either.

1632
02:17:47,300 --> 02:17:51,300
I'm grieving you fuck nugget.

1633
02:17:51,300 --> 02:17:53,300
How many successes?

1634
02:17:53,300 --> 02:17:54,300
Five.

1635
02:17:54,300 --> 02:17:55,300
Plenty.

1636
02:17:55,300 --> 02:17:56,300
Okay.

1637
02:17:56,300 --> 02:18:09,300
Astoria knows that there is a glyph pattern that she can sketch basically on the surface of the ward.

1638
02:18:09,300 --> 02:18:11,300
That will tell the house.

1639
02:18:11,300 --> 02:18:13,300
I am order of Hermes.

1640
02:18:13,300 --> 02:18:21,300
Please open the door and don't kill me.

1641
02:18:43,300 --> 02:18:48,300
I'm going to do that then.

1642
02:18:48,300 --> 02:18:49,300
Okay.

1643
02:18:49,300 --> 02:18:51,300
It takes a couple minutes.

1644
02:18:51,300 --> 02:19:02,300
But when it does, those of you who are aware of the wards, notice a character shift in them.

1645
02:19:02,300 --> 02:19:10,300
Basically saying, you know, speak friend and enter.

1646
02:19:10,300 --> 02:19:20,300
And Astoria where your hand is like trying to touch the door is actually able to touch the door.

1647
02:19:20,300 --> 02:19:34,300
And as your finger touches the door, the door knob turns of its own accord and swings inward.

1648
02:19:34,300 --> 02:19:52,300
Jessica moves to go inside and pull Astoria with her.

1649
02:19:52,300 --> 02:19:59,300
Well, get off the street guys.

1650
02:19:59,300 --> 02:20:00,300
Damn.

1651
02:20:00,300 --> 02:20:04,300
We need to search the house.

1652
02:20:04,300 --> 02:20:17,300
We will.

1653
02:20:17,300 --> 02:20:22,300
I suppose perception investigation from anybody that wants to go rummaging through the house.

1654
02:20:22,300 --> 02:20:26,300
Milo is specifically going to go rummage.

1655
02:20:26,300 --> 02:20:30,300
Hello.

1656
02:20:30,300 --> 02:20:35,300
I have a person that I'm currently helping carry.

1657
02:20:35,300 --> 02:20:38,300
We're sending people down though, right?

1658
02:20:38,300 --> 02:20:42,300
Yeah.

1659
02:20:42,300 --> 02:20:44,300
What did you say?

1660
02:20:44,300 --> 02:20:46,300
Six.

1661
02:20:46,300 --> 02:20:52,300
JR is deposited on a couch in the front room.

1662
02:20:52,300 --> 02:21:07,300
Bodhi is going to help you actually take Chase all the way to the kitchen and plop him on the island countertop right in the middle.

1663
02:21:07,300 --> 02:21:10,300
Good enough.

1664
02:21:10,300 --> 02:21:26,300
Jesse, you find a closet with what looks to be, well, it's familiar looking gear of the kind Vinnie would stash anywhere that he could fit it.

1665
02:21:26,300 --> 02:21:33,300
Food, bedding, a sword and survival nonsense.

1666
02:21:33,300 --> 02:21:34,300
Oh, yeah.

1667
02:21:34,300 --> 02:21:41,300
The rest of you find similar to the other safe house.

1668
02:21:41,300 --> 02:21:47,300
A lot of assorted clothing in various sizes.

1669
02:21:47,300 --> 02:22:01,300
And bedding for each room of the house, which also seems strangely larger on the inside.

1670
02:22:01,300 --> 02:22:07,300
There are enough beds for all of you.

1671
02:22:07,300 --> 02:22:13,300
With a couple of double beds here and there.

1672
02:22:13,300 --> 02:22:29,300
I want to make a note that after people are deposited and while everyone else is searching the house, Naomi is going to spend the time hauling each of the bikes into the entryway so that they are in the house itself.

1673
02:22:29,300 --> 02:22:36,300
Okay.

1674
02:22:36,300 --> 02:22:42,300
Latha's going to get to work healing Chase.

1675
02:22:42,300 --> 02:22:44,300
Okay.

1676
02:22:44,300 --> 02:22:48,300
Give me some Aratay life rolls then.

1677
02:22:48,300 --> 02:22:51,300
Aratay life, okay.

1678
02:22:51,300 --> 02:23:01,300
Let's see.

1679
02:23:01,300 --> 02:23:03,300
Okay.

1680
02:23:03,300 --> 02:23:07,300
Okay.

1681
02:23:07,300 --> 02:23:12,300
His tense went.

1682
02:23:12,300 --> 02:23:17,300
To 710 1010 one.

1683
02:23:17,300 --> 02:23:24,300
So three suck to start with.

1684
02:23:24,300 --> 02:23:30,300
Okay.

1685
02:23:30,300 --> 02:23:51,300
Gotta be working on getting the bolt worked out and basically like healing it behind it as it works out. Okay.

1686
02:23:51,300 --> 02:24:01,300
So would you rather two separate rolls to be working down the head so that it's basically just a shaft.

1687
02:24:01,300 --> 02:24:07,300
So it would be more of a straight pull rather than having the entire head that would have to work its way back through.

1688
02:24:07,300 --> 02:24:22,300
I will give you.

1689
02:24:22,300 --> 02:24:25,300
Give me a flat wits.

1690
02:24:25,300 --> 02:24:32,300
Okay.

1691
02:24:32,300 --> 02:24:39,300
8 7 1.

1692
02:24:39,300 --> 02:24:41,300
Okay.

1693
02:24:41,300 --> 02:24:52,300
You have you have treated hunting accidents before where idiots have shot somebody's cow.

1694
02:24:52,300 --> 02:24:57,300
This is a modern looking crossbow bolt.

1695
02:24:57,300 --> 02:25:05,300
You could just use the broad head tips screw in to the shaft.

1696
02:25:05,300 --> 02:25:09,300
Bear but I still need to get it out of his body.

1697
02:25:09,300 --> 02:25:10,300
Yes.

1698
02:25:10,300 --> 02:25:12,300
But you could.

1699
02:25:12,300 --> 02:25:14,300
It's poking out the opposite end.

1700
02:25:14,300 --> 02:25:15,300
Okay.

1701
02:25:15,300 --> 02:25:17,300
I didn't I didn't realize that had come all the way through.

1702
02:25:17,300 --> 02:25:18,300
Yes.

1703
02:25:18,300 --> 02:25:20,300
That's when I described it earlier.

1704
02:25:20,300 --> 02:25:25,300
I said it was poking out of the front of his stomach or not stomach but lower abdomen.

1705
02:25:25,300 --> 02:25:32,300
Screw the broad head off and pull the blade the shaft back.

1706
02:25:32,300 --> 02:25:33,300
All right.

1707
02:25:33,300 --> 02:25:35,300
We will do that.

1708
02:25:35,300 --> 02:25:46,300
The first one.

1709
02:25:46,300 --> 02:25:53,300
Well that would be enough to have chase like alert again.

1710
02:25:53,300 --> 02:25:55,300
And it was three suck.

1711
02:25:55,300 --> 02:25:56,300
Yes.

1712
02:25:56,300 --> 02:25:57,300
Okay.

1713
02:25:57,300 --> 02:26:04,300
I believe we had established you had what two of lethal and some bashing.

1714
02:26:04,300 --> 02:26:06,300
Yes.

1715
02:26:06,300 --> 02:26:08,300
Okay.

1716
02:26:08,300 --> 02:26:21,300
I am going to say the two of lethal are gone minus and one of the bashing because that's what you're prioritizing is the lethal wounds.

1717
02:26:21,300 --> 02:26:27,300
The leading chase at whatever remainder of bashing we had decided on.

1718
02:26:27,300 --> 02:26:30,300
And he is able to wake up.

1719
02:26:30,300 --> 02:26:38,300
You're laying on a kitchen counter with a Native American woman looking down at you.

1720
02:26:38,300 --> 02:26:46,300
Stairs for a long moment followed by.

1721
02:26:46,300 --> 02:26:55,300
Of all the bets I had is not what I thought the afterlife looked like.

1722
02:26:55,300 --> 02:26:56,300
Good.

1723
02:26:56,300 --> 02:26:58,300
You might still win your bet someday.

1724
02:26:58,300 --> 02:26:59,300
Oh shit.

1725
02:26:59,300 --> 02:27:01,300
Wait am I alive.

1726
02:27:01,300 --> 02:27:27,300
To make things a little bit more confusing a ball of black fluid boils up the front of a Latha using her as a ladder and then sploots on top of you as if investigating before forming into a cat that is not a cat.

1727
02:27:27,300 --> 02:27:35,300
Before forming into a cat that turns its nose up as the board and hops down.

1728
02:27:35,300 --> 02:27:42,300
Attempts to pet cat.

1729
02:27:42,300 --> 02:27:49,300
He liquid wiggles his way away from your hand.

1730
02:27:49,300 --> 02:27:50,300
He's not impressed.

1731
02:27:50,300 --> 02:27:51,300
Fair enough.

1732
02:27:51,300 --> 02:28:00,300
If you've seen the comic of the person attempting to pet a cat and the cat just getting flatter and flatter that is Milo.

1733
02:28:00,300 --> 02:28:08,300
It's literally that not even for somebody who smells as nice as chase.

1734
02:28:08,300 --> 02:28:11,300
Right now he smells like almost died.

1735
02:28:11,300 --> 02:28:14,300
Milo is also an asshole.

1736
02:28:14,300 --> 02:28:17,300
I want to make this very clear.

1737
02:28:17,300 --> 02:28:21,300
He oh yeah he interacts with other humans when they're useful.

1738
02:28:21,300 --> 02:28:27,300
I'm mostly going to be saying that for all athas reference is chased smells nice.

1739
02:28:27,300 --> 02:28:29,300
Real nice.

1740
02:28:29,300 --> 02:28:42,300
And I'm more like not clean rain scent but like primal like this is a good person kind of smell.

1741
02:28:42,300 --> 02:28:45,300
All right.

1742
02:28:45,300 --> 02:28:48,300
Would I still have life vision up I'm assuming I would.

1743
02:28:48,300 --> 02:28:49,300
Yes.

1744
02:28:49,300 --> 02:28:50,300
Cool.

1745
02:28:50,300 --> 02:28:53,300
Is there something weird about his life pattern in that way.

1746
02:28:53,300 --> 02:28:54,300
Yes.

1747
02:28:54,300 --> 02:28:55,300
Yes.

1748
02:28:55,300 --> 02:28:58,300
Cool.

1749
02:28:58,300 --> 02:29:04,300
He is a relatively biologically engineered human.

1750
02:29:04,300 --> 02:29:06,300
Another one.

1751
02:29:06,300 --> 02:29:09,300
Biologically not mechanically.

1752
02:29:09,300 --> 02:29:15,300
Yeah but there's one group that like would probably be the ones who would do this.

1753
02:29:15,300 --> 02:29:17,300
Erd you also forgot something.

1754
02:29:17,300 --> 02:29:19,300
Yeah.

1755
02:29:19,300 --> 02:29:21,300
We'll talk about it later.

1756
02:29:21,300 --> 02:29:24,300
If it's what I think you're thinking I forgot no.

1757
02:29:24,300 --> 02:29:36,300
Okay.

1758
02:29:36,300 --> 02:29:44,300
Yeah he is biologically modified somehow.

1759
02:29:44,300 --> 02:29:51,300
Possibly in a couple of some house.

1760
02:29:51,300 --> 02:29:52,300
But that's neither here nor there.

1761
02:29:52,300 --> 02:29:57,300
We have to kill him later we have to kill him later.

1762
02:29:57,300 --> 02:30:04,300
Harsh.

1763
02:30:04,300 --> 02:30:07,300
Look it's the apocalypse.

1764
02:30:07,300 --> 02:30:15,300
Coming from you and your last character bird.

1765
02:30:15,300 --> 02:30:19,300
Story.

1766
02:30:19,300 --> 02:30:21,300
Astoria.

1767
02:30:21,300 --> 02:30:25,300
Jessica is going to kind of guide you to a couch.

1768
02:30:25,300 --> 02:30:30,300
Try to get you to sit down.

1769
02:30:30,300 --> 02:30:34,300
And rest for a second.

1770
02:30:34,300 --> 02:30:39,300
You acquiesce to her attempt to get you to rest for a second.

1771
02:30:39,300 --> 02:30:42,300
I've already searched the house so I guess.

1772
02:30:42,300 --> 02:30:49,300
Or are you just going to bed because it is like seven thirty ish and it's been a day.

1773
02:30:49,300 --> 02:30:54,300
I think we have a discussion to be had with the party so.

1774
02:30:54,300 --> 02:30:57,300
Think you do.

1775
02:30:57,300 --> 02:31:04,300
Okay.

1776
02:31:04,300 --> 02:31:07,300
Chase what else are you going to do.

1777
02:31:07,300 --> 02:31:15,300
Now that you've woken up been spluted on and realize that this weird Native American woman probably just.

1778
02:31:15,300 --> 02:31:17,300
Saved your life.

1779
02:31:17,300 --> 02:31:28,300
Alisa told him to not move too much because she's still working so he is going to go back to not moving too much and let her continue working.

1780
02:31:28,300 --> 02:31:29,300
All right.

1781
02:31:29,300 --> 02:31:35,300
Alisa are you doing more life magic about it.

1782
02:31:35,300 --> 02:31:40,300
Roughly how battered is he still.

1783
02:31:40,300 --> 02:31:47,300
I believe two more points of bashing.

1784
02:31:47,300 --> 02:31:51,300
Yeah.

1785
02:31:51,300 --> 02:31:53,300
Two more bashing.

1786
02:31:53,300 --> 02:31:54,300
Three more.

1787
02:31:54,300 --> 02:31:55,300
Three more bashing.

1788
02:31:55,300 --> 02:31:56,300
All right.

1789
02:31:56,300 --> 02:31:57,300
Yeah.

1790
02:31:57,300 --> 02:31:58,300
That would be far enough.

1791
02:31:58,300 --> 02:31:59,300
Yeah.

1792
02:31:59,300 --> 02:32:05,300
She would probably continue trying to work on him.

1793
02:32:05,300 --> 02:32:07,300
Why though.

1794
02:32:07,300 --> 02:32:08,300
Please botch.

1795
02:32:08,300 --> 02:32:12,300
Two tens and a one so far.

1796
02:32:12,300 --> 02:32:14,300
A ten and a one.

1797
02:32:14,300 --> 02:32:15,300
Can you come here.

1798
02:32:15,300 --> 02:32:17,300
Are you fucking.

1799
02:32:17,300 --> 02:32:18,300
Not at the moment.

1800
02:32:18,300 --> 02:32:19,300
I believe you though.

1801
02:32:19,300 --> 02:32:23,300
Flipping coins.

1802
02:32:23,300 --> 02:32:24,300
And a nine.

1803
02:32:24,300 --> 02:32:25,300
Okay.

1804
02:32:25,300 --> 02:32:28,300
So I'm going to take a picture of that one.

1805
02:32:28,300 --> 02:32:37,300
So right now the Vodice tree bed I have 10 10 10 9 1 1.

1806
02:32:37,300 --> 02:32:43,300
So two successes.

1807
02:32:43,300 --> 02:32:44,300
That's ridiculous.

1808
02:32:44,300 --> 02:32:47,300
To be fair I heard those dice rolls.

1809
02:32:47,300 --> 02:32:50,300
He is not fucking with you.

1810
02:32:50,300 --> 02:32:51,300
All right.

1811
02:32:51,300 --> 02:32:57,300
Well with two successes that is enough to top off his bashing damage.

1812
02:32:57,300 --> 02:32:59,300
Cool.

1813
02:32:59,300 --> 02:33:01,300
Fit test.

1814
02:33:01,300 --> 02:33:06,300
Well honestly I guess I'm going to leave this to Elaine then of are you well and truly done

1815
02:33:06,300 --> 02:33:09,300
skis or do you want to push through for just a little bit longer.

1816
02:33:09,300 --> 02:33:11,300
How much is a little bit longer.

1817
02:33:11,300 --> 02:33:14,300
1030 at the latest.

1818
02:33:14,300 --> 02:33:19,300
Can we at least have a moment of chase intro.

1819
02:33:19,300 --> 02:33:24,300
Chase intro and let Astoria do.

1820
02:33:24,300 --> 02:33:28,300
Frankly we might even be able to get to the point where we can RP this coming week.

1821
02:33:28,300 --> 02:33:29,300
Okay.

1822
02:33:29,300 --> 02:33:34,300
I also need to remind everybody that I cannot do a session next Tuesday night.

1823
02:33:34,300 --> 02:33:41,300
So the plan is yes we're setting ourselves up for two weeks of text RP.

1824
02:33:41,300 --> 02:33:44,300
So don't fuck it up.

1825
02:33:44,300 --> 02:33:45,300
Okay.

1826
02:33:45,300 --> 02:33:46,300
Okay fine.

1827
02:33:46,300 --> 02:33:49,300
Yes we're keeping on with a keep on.

1828
02:33:49,300 --> 02:33:50,300
All right.

1829
02:33:50,300 --> 02:33:55,300
So Chase you are feeling pretty fucking good now.

1830
02:33:55,300 --> 02:34:01,300
You are no longer feeling the intense unpleasantness of blood loss.

1831
02:34:01,300 --> 02:34:03,300
Holy shit.

1832
02:34:03,300 --> 02:34:05,300
All right.

1833
02:34:05,300 --> 02:34:08,300
You are wonderful.

1834
02:34:08,300 --> 02:34:11,300
Is anyone here.

1835
02:34:11,300 --> 02:34:13,300
I'm Chase by the way.

1836
02:34:13,300 --> 02:34:14,300
Pleasure to meet you.

1837
02:34:14,300 --> 02:34:20,300
Is anyone here tweaked out by dogs.

1838
02:34:20,300 --> 02:34:21,300
No.

1839
02:34:21,300 --> 02:34:32,300
You hear a really distant hiss from somewhere in the house from farther away than should have been able to hear that.

1840
02:34:32,300 --> 02:34:33,300
Of course.

1841
02:34:33,300 --> 02:34:35,300
Well I love a live.

1842
02:34:35,300 --> 02:34:36,300
Fantastic.

1843
02:34:36,300 --> 02:34:42,300
I'm going to get my dog and then like any questions comments concerns whiskey that you would like.

1844
02:34:42,300 --> 02:34:44,300
I'm all yours.

1845
02:34:44,300 --> 02:34:47,300
Jessica jumps up.

1846
02:34:47,300 --> 02:34:52,300
Hold on.

1847
02:34:52,300 --> 02:34:56,300
I'm.

1848
02:34:56,300 --> 02:35:00,300
You're going where.

1849
02:35:00,300 --> 02:35:02,300
To get my dog.

1850
02:35:02,300 --> 02:35:03,300
It'll be two seconds.

1851
02:35:03,300 --> 02:35:04,300
I'm not leaving the house.

1852
02:35:04,300 --> 02:35:07,300
It's fine.

1853
02:35:07,300 --> 02:35:10,300
Okay.

1854
02:35:10,300 --> 02:35:29,300
And Chase gets up off the kitchen counter takes a key out of his pocket goes over to the bathroom and then closes the door sticks the key in the door opens the door again steps into what is decidedly not a bathroom.

1855
02:35:29,300 --> 02:35:32,300
Whistles.

1856
02:35:32,300 --> 02:35:44,300
And then comes back out with a rather large dog and shuts the door behind himself then opens it again revealing regular fucking bathroom again.

1857
02:35:44,300 --> 02:35:49,300
Key is promptly pocketed again.

1858
02:35:49,300 --> 02:36:04,300
Followed by Chase getting down on his knees which is not entirely necessary given the size of dog putting his arms around a said dog's neck and asking him in a decidedly adorable voice.

1859
02:36:04,300 --> 02:36:06,300
Who's a good boy.

1860
02:36:06,300 --> 02:36:08,300
It's you buddy.

1861
02:36:08,300 --> 02:36:09,300
It's you.

1862
02:36:09,300 --> 02:36:11,300
I told you I'd be back soon.

1863
02:36:11,300 --> 02:36:15,300
Extremely happy doggo.

1864
02:36:15,300 --> 02:36:19,300
This is Samson Samson for everyone's reference.

1865
02:36:19,300 --> 02:36:21,300
Did you come out the bathroom.

1866
02:36:21,300 --> 02:36:23,300
What.

1867
02:36:23,300 --> 02:36:25,300
Did you come out the bathroom.

1868
02:36:25,300 --> 02:36:26,300
Yes.

1869
02:36:26,300 --> 02:36:27,300
Okay.

1870
02:36:27,300 --> 02:36:28,300
He's just good.

1871
02:36:28,300 --> 02:36:30,300
From that this is Samson.

1872
02:36:30,300 --> 02:36:31,300
Yes.

1873
02:36:31,300 --> 02:36:32,300
No.

1874
02:36:32,300 --> 02:36:40,300
He opened the door to the bathroom stepped inside for a second whistled stepped back out closed the door opened the door again.

1875
02:36:40,300 --> 02:36:52,300
For a brief second there in the middle of him opening and closing the door several times at one point it was to a room that was decidedly not the bathroom.

1876
02:36:52,300 --> 02:36:59,300
But then it was back to the bathroom again and he had a dog.

1877
02:36:59,300 --> 02:37:02,300
And Samson.

1878
02:37:02,300 --> 02:37:06,300
Is an absolutely gigantic Tibetan Mastiff.

1879
02:37:06,300 --> 02:37:15,300
They grow be about 90 to 150 pounds and 30 inches tall at the shoulder.

1880
02:37:15,300 --> 02:37:18,300
He is.

1881
02:37:18,300 --> 02:37:25,300
Closer to 35 36 inches and probably about 200 pounds.

1882
02:37:25,300 --> 02:37:27,300
He's a big one.

1883
02:37:27,300 --> 02:37:30,300
And it currently appears to be head empty.

1884
02:37:30,300 --> 02:37:31,300
No thoughts.

1885
02:37:31,300 --> 02:37:34,300
Happy to see Chase again.

1886
02:37:34,300 --> 02:37:42,300
While petting and informing Samson that he is in fact the best boy.

1887
02:37:42,300 --> 02:37:48,300
Chase will turn to look over at Olathe and Jessica and say.

1888
02:37:48,300 --> 02:37:51,300
So.

1889
02:37:51,300 --> 02:37:52,300
Wait.

1890
02:37:52,300 --> 02:37:55,300
So.

1891
02:37:55,300 --> 02:37:57,300
Hi again.

1892
02:37:57,300 --> 02:37:58,300
You got Charmy there.

1893
02:37:58,300 --> 02:38:00,300
I needed to make sure my dog was okay.

1894
02:38:00,300 --> 02:38:02,300
But like sup.

1895
02:38:02,300 --> 02:38:05,300
Thank you again.

1896
02:38:05,300 --> 02:38:10,300
Do you like whiskey?

1897
02:38:10,300 --> 02:38:14,300
I think I could do with a little whiskey.

1898
02:38:14,300 --> 02:38:18,300
I will get you some of that in just a few minutes.

1899
02:38:18,300 --> 02:38:24,300
After I find a place for Samson to sleep.

1900
02:38:24,300 --> 02:38:29,300
Questions comments concerns etc.

1901
02:38:29,300 --> 02:38:37,300
You guys definitely aren't with the Rose people right like this isn't some fucked up elaborate trick to like.

1902
02:38:37,300 --> 02:38:40,300
Make me think I've got hope and then.

1903
02:38:40,300 --> 02:38:43,300
Like skin me or some shit.

1904
02:38:43,300 --> 02:38:45,300
Bodie.

1905
02:38:45,300 --> 02:38:48,300
Hypes up at that point.

1906
02:38:48,300 --> 02:38:52,300
His voice a little darker than Bodie usually is.

1907
02:38:52,300 --> 02:38:53,300
No.

1908
02:38:53,300 --> 02:39:05,300
We're not with them.

1909
02:39:05,300 --> 02:39:17,300
As he said no although I am very coming more and more curious and concerned as to what goes on with these people.

1910
02:39:17,300 --> 02:39:20,300
After a brief search chase.

1911
02:39:20,300 --> 02:39:32,300
The easiest way to get him something to sleep on would probably be some of the sleeping bags piled up in the closet.

1912
02:39:32,300 --> 02:39:34,300
Fantastic.

1913
02:39:34,300 --> 02:39:38,300
Because there is a bed for every human currently.

1914
02:39:38,300 --> 02:39:42,300
That's cool we're laying out like two or three sleeping bags.

1915
02:39:42,300 --> 02:39:45,300
Nesting with Samson.

1916
02:39:45,300 --> 02:39:48,300
Okay.

1917
02:39:48,300 --> 02:39:55,300
Eventually not immediately because there's like people and they're not even hostile.

1918
02:39:55,300 --> 02:39:57,300
Yeah.

1919
02:39:57,300 --> 02:40:01,300
So in the living room.

1920
02:40:01,300 --> 02:40:05,300
Jr is passed out on one couch.

1921
02:40:05,300 --> 02:40:08,300
Had not touched base with what Jesse is doing.

1922
02:40:08,300 --> 02:40:11,300
I was digging around and looking at stuff.

1923
02:40:11,300 --> 02:40:12,300
Yes.

1924
02:40:12,300 --> 02:40:20,300
Yes.

1925
02:40:20,300 --> 02:40:24,300
On the other couch is.

1926
02:40:24,300 --> 02:40:29,300
Astoria and Jessica next to her still holding her hand.

1927
02:40:29,300 --> 02:40:32,300
And one empty spot on that couch.

1928
02:40:32,300 --> 02:40:38,300
And Bodie was in the kitchen with Aletha and chase.

1929
02:40:38,300 --> 02:40:43,300
I guess that leaves Naomi who I think was also searching the house.

1930
02:40:43,300 --> 02:40:46,300
No Naomi had been dragging bikes inside.

1931
02:40:46,300 --> 02:40:47,300
That's right.

1932
02:40:47,300 --> 02:40:49,300
Okay.

1933
02:40:49,300 --> 02:41:01,300
So after Naomi finishes stacking bikes in the foyer she would also be in close proximity to the living room.

1934
02:41:01,300 --> 02:41:03,300
Bodie.

1935
02:41:03,300 --> 02:41:05,300
Excuse me.

1936
02:41:05,300 --> 02:41:15,300
Is going to kind of lead the way kind of gesture to Aletha and chase after reaching down to screech doggo ears.

1937
02:41:15,300 --> 02:41:20,300
Will gesture towards the living room.

1938
02:41:20,300 --> 02:41:22,300
Think.

1939
02:41:22,300 --> 02:41:27,300
There's some conversations that need to be had.

1940
02:41:27,300 --> 02:41:29,300
Most likely.

1941
02:41:29,300 --> 02:41:38,300
And I would like to. Check on both Astoria and Jr as well.

1942
02:41:38,300 --> 02:41:41,300
Okay.

1943
02:41:41,300 --> 02:41:58,300
So that sets us in sets the scene for the living room.

1944
02:41:58,300 --> 02:42:03,300
Who wants to start this conversation.

1945
02:42:03,300 --> 02:42:07,300
I suppose before Aletha and Bodie and chase.

1946
02:42:07,300 --> 02:42:09,300
Come into the living room.

1947
02:42:09,300 --> 02:42:14,300
Naomi since she finished hauling bikes and is going to be looking at a story and said.

1948
02:42:14,300 --> 02:42:22,300
And say a story I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to word this house against spirits tonight too before we fully settle.

1949
02:42:22,300 --> 02:42:27,300
Yeah. Yeah, I think so too.

1950
02:42:27,300 --> 02:42:31,300
I still have she digs through her bag for a moment.

1951
02:42:31,300 --> 02:42:36,300
I still have some candles left from the mortadello house.

1952
02:42:36,300 --> 02:42:43,300
So I'm good for a while longer, but I am going to have to find more at some point or another.

1953
02:42:43,300 --> 02:42:51,300
I have some, but we're going to need more sooner than later. Right.

1954
02:42:51,300 --> 02:42:55,300
There is definitely a closet with candles in this house.

1955
02:42:55,300 --> 02:42:59,300
It is a her medic. I mean, yeah, it is a her medic safe house.

1956
02:42:59,300 --> 02:43:05,300
I'm sure we have some in here. We'll just have to look around a little bit more later.

1957
02:43:05,300 --> 02:43:14,300
On that case, if there are some already here, I'm going to keep the ones I've got in my bag.

1958
02:43:14,300 --> 02:43:26,300
I don't really mind the smell of cinnamon rolls later.

1959
02:43:26,300 --> 02:43:32,300
That's likely going to be the conversation going on when the other three enter.

1960
02:43:32,300 --> 02:43:44,300
Okay. Well, if that's when the other three enter, Chase is going to chime in with. I have candles.

1961
02:43:44,300 --> 02:43:47,300
Like a lot of them.

1962
02:43:47,300 --> 02:43:49,300
You do?

1963
02:43:49,300 --> 02:43:58,300
Yes. I have a lot of a lot of things. I did mean it. Oh, God. I said some stuff.

1964
02:43:58,300 --> 02:44:03,300
Anyway. Moving on. You sure did, buddy.

1965
02:44:03,300 --> 02:44:09,300
Look, it's an honest mistake. All right. It was weird, but we can get past it.

1966
02:44:09,300 --> 02:44:21,300
Great. So I have a lot of a lot of things and I did mean it when I said that I'm more than happy to share that with people who just saved my life.

1967
02:44:21,300 --> 02:44:35,300
So if you need candles, I will snag some candles when I go snag some whiskey or Laysa, I think.

1968
02:44:35,300 --> 02:44:40,300
So where is this stuff coming from? You're just...

1969
02:44:40,300 --> 02:44:41,300
Meat.

1970
02:44:41,300 --> 02:44:50,300
You have a dog. You get to get whiskey. It's just... You're pulling it out of your butt. Where is this stuff coming from?

1971
02:44:50,300 --> 02:44:52,300
Wow.

1972
02:44:52,300 --> 02:44:55,300
Normally.

1973
02:44:55,300 --> 02:45:02,300
Normally, I'd say something stupid like mind your business or trade secret or etc. etc.

1974
02:45:02,300 --> 02:45:05,300
But.

1975
02:45:05,300 --> 02:45:14,300
Since I only had the bag a little bit for you guys to save my life instead of just watch me die in the street, pretend you didn't see me.

1976
02:45:14,300 --> 02:45:17,300
I have a key.

1977
02:45:17,300 --> 02:45:24,300
The key to a handful of places where I have several handfuls of things.

1978
02:45:24,300 --> 02:45:29,300
Just needs to be stuck into a door.

1979
02:45:29,300 --> 02:45:37,300
And it can take me there.

1980
02:45:37,300 --> 02:45:39,300
Well, that's useful.

1981
02:45:39,300 --> 02:45:45,300
Sure is.

1982
02:45:45,300 --> 02:45:53,300
Does it take you only to specific spots or is it sort of a one size fits all option?

1983
02:45:53,300 --> 02:46:04,300
Five places that I have saved and places specifically that I have been before is a requirement.

1984
02:46:04,300 --> 02:46:13,300
That's a shame, but still useful.

1985
02:46:13,300 --> 02:46:22,300
You know, it'd be nice to be able to go anywhere in the country wherever I felt like it, but

1986
02:46:22,300 --> 02:46:32,300
not quite that lucky, I guess.

1987
02:46:32,300 --> 02:46:37,300
So candles, whiskey.

1988
02:46:37,300 --> 02:46:39,300
Before that.

1989
02:46:39,300 --> 02:46:41,300
Scritches ears.

1990
02:46:41,300 --> 02:46:43,300
Yes.

1991
02:46:43,300 --> 02:46:45,300
What would your name be?

1992
02:46:45,300 --> 02:46:51,300
Chase.

1993
02:46:51,300 --> 02:46:53,300
And yours?

1994
02:46:53,300 --> 02:46:57,300
Naomi.

1995
02:46:57,300 --> 02:47:01,300
He kind of.

1996
02:47:01,300 --> 02:47:06,300
Squints at her a little bit.

1997
02:47:06,300 --> 02:47:14,300
And then decides, like, fuck it if this doesn't work out and he burns too many bridges with

1998
02:47:14,300 --> 02:47:20,300
this party, he can just leave anyway, so why not, full send at all times.

1999
02:47:20,300 --> 02:47:22,300
And switches to Japanese.

2000
02:47:22,300 --> 02:47:28,300
Specifically, you look like you might speak Japanese.

2001
02:47:28,300 --> 02:47:33,300
That's probably racist, but do you speak Japanese?

2002
02:47:33,300 --> 02:47:36,300
Raised eyebrow Japanese back.

2003
02:47:36,300 --> 02:47:39,300
Yes, and clearly you do too.

2004
02:47:39,300 --> 02:47:42,300
Holy shit.

2005
02:47:42,300 --> 02:47:45,300
That's awesome.

2006
02:47:45,300 --> 02:47:50,300
Switching back to English anyway, so we don't leave out everyone else.

2007
02:47:50,300 --> 02:47:56,300
That's fair.

2008
02:47:56,300 --> 02:47:57,300
You.

2009
02:47:57,300 --> 02:47:59,300
Does everyone else want to introduce themselves?

2010
02:47:59,300 --> 02:48:09,300
My name is Olathe.

2011
02:48:09,300 --> 02:48:12,300
Chase points.

2012
02:48:12,300 --> 02:48:18,300
Still giving him slightly sussed out expression.

2013
02:48:18,300 --> 02:48:22,300
I'm Jessica.

2014
02:48:22,300 --> 02:48:30,300
I'm Jessica.

2015
02:48:30,300 --> 02:48:34,300
All right.

2016
02:48:34,300 --> 02:48:38,300
Jessica, Jesse.

2017
02:48:38,300 --> 02:48:41,300
Full disclosure.

2018
02:48:41,300 --> 02:48:44,300
I am going to mix that up at least once or twice.

2019
02:48:44,300 --> 02:48:47,300
I'm sorry in advance.

2020
02:48:47,300 --> 02:48:53,300
I hope you can understand why.

2021
02:48:53,300 --> 02:48:57,300
JR, are you having as bad of a time as I was not very long ago?

2022
02:48:57,300 --> 02:49:05,300
I think you're having a worse time than I was not very long ago.

2023
02:49:05,300 --> 02:49:07,300
It's a pretty shitty time.

2024
02:49:07,300 --> 02:49:13,300
I'm not going to lie.

2025
02:49:13,300 --> 02:49:15,300
Brother went crazy.

2026
02:49:15,300 --> 02:49:21,300
Got magic or got magic and then went crazy.

2027
02:49:21,300 --> 02:49:24,300
I think he might have been possessed.

2028
02:49:24,300 --> 02:49:28,300
Did some weird shit to me.

2029
02:49:28,300 --> 02:49:30,300
It's about time.

2030
02:49:30,300 --> 02:49:38,300
Shit.

2031
02:49:38,300 --> 02:49:45,300
You sound like you could also get some whiskey, buddy.

2032
02:49:45,300 --> 02:50:12,300
You get a thumbs up without him looking up from the couch.

2033
02:50:12,300 --> 02:50:20,300
We have food.

2034
02:50:20,300 --> 02:50:25,300
There's a decent stock of survival food.

2035
02:50:25,300 --> 02:50:30,300
MRE style basically.

2036
02:50:30,300 --> 02:50:39,300
I will have questions about that then.

2037
02:50:39,300 --> 02:50:43,300
How good of the MREs do we get?

2038
02:50:43,300 --> 02:50:45,300
Do we get a pizza MRE?

2039
02:50:45,300 --> 02:50:48,300
It's a random assortment.

2040
02:50:48,300 --> 02:50:54,300
If we really want to get into the weeds on this, I can make you roll for entropy on what fucking MRE you open.

2041
02:50:54,300 --> 02:50:57,300
If it's not chili mac, you're wrong.

2042
02:50:57,300 --> 02:50:59,300
The sloppy joe one is pretty good.

2043
02:50:59,300 --> 02:51:01,300
Sloppy joe one is amazing.

2044
02:51:01,300 --> 02:51:10,300
The MREs still work though.

2045
02:51:10,300 --> 02:51:17,300
The heating element may or may not work, but you can also eat MREs cold or heat them up otherwise.

2046
02:51:17,300 --> 02:51:21,300
I will note that we are getting a strain.

2047
02:51:21,300 --> 02:51:30,300
In the weeds.

2048
02:51:30,300 --> 02:51:36,300
Given that you didn't freak out over earlier, Magic, you know it.

2049
02:51:36,300 --> 02:51:38,300
You have it.

2050
02:51:38,300 --> 02:51:41,300
He more than knows it.

2051
02:51:41,300 --> 02:51:44,300
Finger guns.

2052
02:51:44,300 --> 02:51:45,300
Wonderful.

2053
02:51:45,300 --> 02:51:48,300
It's not just because of the key you have, right?

2054
02:51:48,300 --> 02:51:50,300
Correct.

2055
02:51:50,300 --> 02:52:02,300
But Aletha, he more than knows it. Just say it. Whatever you're thinking, just say it.

2056
02:52:02,300 --> 02:52:04,300
That you've been a little altered?

2057
02:52:04,300 --> 02:52:06,300
Yes, I have.

2058
02:52:06,300 --> 02:52:08,300
Jessica Squint.

2059
02:52:08,300 --> 02:52:12,300
I am 94% human.

2060
02:52:12,300 --> 02:52:15,300
Last I checked.

2061
02:52:15,300 --> 02:52:23,300
Honestly, I haven't checked very often.

2062
02:52:23,300 --> 02:52:28,300
Well, that's still a bit more than a lot of people know.

2063
02:52:28,300 --> 02:52:34,300
Like my dog. If that makes anything feel better.

2064
02:52:34,300 --> 02:52:36,300
Didn't quite catch the beginning of that.

2065
02:52:36,300 --> 02:52:43,300
I got it in Tibet like my dog. If that makes anyone feel better.

2066
02:52:43,300 --> 02:52:49,300
Bodie pipes up from somewhere behind you.

2067
02:52:49,300 --> 02:52:52,300
Hey, yeah. Bodie.

2068
02:52:52,300 --> 02:52:53,300
Hi.

2069
02:52:53,300 --> 02:52:55,300
Tibet?

2070
02:52:55,300 --> 02:52:57,300
Yes.

2071
02:52:57,300 --> 02:53:02,300
Been there. Nice place.

2072
02:53:02,300 --> 02:53:04,300
Didn't really like the people.

2073
02:53:04,300 --> 02:53:16,300
I was mostly hanging out with some euthanatose guys who were raising poor Samson over here to fight hit marks.

2074
02:53:16,300 --> 02:53:22,300
And kind of disagreed on that one a little bit.

2075
02:53:22,300 --> 02:53:26,300
And now I'm not in Tibet, but I have Samson.

2076
02:53:26,300 --> 02:53:28,300
So you're a traditionalist then?

2077
02:53:28,300 --> 02:53:40,300
I am on a line. And happier that way.

2078
02:53:40,300 --> 02:53:42,300
You didn't seem like an Akashic.

2079
02:53:42,300 --> 02:53:51,300
No. They're like chiller than the euthanatoid, but...

2080
02:53:51,300 --> 02:53:56,300
You're an Akashic, aren't you?

2081
02:53:56,300 --> 02:53:59,300
He gives you a single nod.

2082
02:53:59,300 --> 02:54:05,300
Kind of leaning back against the wall with his arms crossed across his chest.

2083
02:54:05,300 --> 02:54:10,300
I'm just assuming because you're the first one to say Akashic.

2084
02:54:10,300 --> 02:54:17,300
I am. Or was. I don't know who is...

2085
02:54:17,300 --> 02:54:26,300
Well, you get it. He kind of uncrosses his arms and just gestures broadly in a the-entire-world-is-fucked gesture.

2086
02:54:26,300 --> 02:54:42,300
Yeah. Well, then you can't just call them and say, hey man, do I still have a job? I feel you.

2087
02:54:42,300 --> 02:54:49,300
Well...

2088
02:54:49,300 --> 02:54:57,300
The group you appear to have been with is also...

2089
02:54:57,300 --> 02:55:03,300
Seems to have been having a bit of problems.

2090
02:55:03,300 --> 02:55:06,300
Jessica perched up at this point.

2091
02:55:06,300 --> 02:55:10,300
Just said I'm on a line.

2092
02:55:10,300 --> 02:55:15,300
Yeah. So you said something about the Rose people.

2093
02:55:15,300 --> 02:55:19,300
They're the ones that shot you?

2094
02:55:19,300 --> 02:55:30,300
I think so. There were like a lot of people trying to shoot.

2095
02:55:30,300 --> 02:55:35,300
What did you do to piss them off? Not that it seems that hard. She shoots a glance at voting.

2096
02:55:35,300 --> 02:55:48,300
That'll do it. Yeah. In my defense, they're assholes.

2097
02:55:48,300 --> 02:55:54,300
That's putting it mildly.

2098
02:55:54,300 --> 02:56:00,300
Where were you that you got shot near here?

2099
02:56:00,300 --> 02:56:08,300
Do you remember that big hill that I crashed down?

2100
02:56:08,300 --> 02:56:12,300
Vividly. Doesn't sound that great when I say it that way.

2101
02:56:12,300 --> 02:56:20,300
That way? Like a couple of miles.

2102
02:56:20,300 --> 02:56:25,300
So not the immediate vicinity, but not far either.

2103
02:56:25,300 --> 02:56:34,300
Not as far as I would have liked to make it, but I would have liked to not get shot in the back of the crossbow.

2104
02:56:34,300 --> 02:56:41,300
Probably should have brought Samson with me after all, but I thought it was going to be a little more finesse than that.

2105
02:56:41,300 --> 02:56:44,300
Did they seem... I'm sorry, go ahead.

2106
02:56:44,300 --> 02:56:48,300
Ah, that was it. It is what it is.

2107
02:56:48,300 --> 02:57:00,300
Did they seem stationed there or were they traveling?

2108
02:57:00,300 --> 02:57:11,300
I have to message them now.

2109
02:57:11,300 --> 02:57:19,300
Naomi's trying to be logical and get information.

2110
02:57:41,300 --> 02:57:59,300
Thank you, Benji.

2111
02:57:59,300 --> 02:58:02,300
I was already typing that out.

2112
02:58:02,300 --> 02:58:10,300
They had a warehouse set up back that way.

2113
02:58:10,300 --> 02:58:18,300
It was guarded and boarded, and people were a little grumpy.

2114
02:58:18,300 --> 02:58:34,300
But they didn't catch me until I had taken a fair bit of food out of it with a key.

2115
02:58:34,300 --> 02:58:48,300
Naomi's going to dig through her bag for a moment and pull out the old map that she had started with and is going to indicate to Seth and grab... not Seth, goodness.

2116
02:58:48,300 --> 02:58:51,300
Chase and grab a pen. I'm sorry.

2117
02:58:51,300 --> 02:58:53,300
It's going to take us a little while.

2118
02:58:53,300 --> 02:59:08,300
Indicate to Chase with a pen roughly here, you'd say?

2119
02:59:08,300 --> 02:59:25,300
It's a warehouse... actually, really it's one of those big storage units being used as a warehouse.

2120
02:59:25,300 --> 02:59:32,300
Naomi's just going to be marking on her roughly where it was as a... hey, make sure to avoid this spot.

2121
02:59:32,300 --> 02:59:41,300
Yeah, a couple miles north of you, north and west a bit.

2122
02:59:41,300 --> 03:00:07,300
Yes, Chase will go ahead and mark that out and give the best rundown he can of, I went in this side, there were some guards here. I'm reasonably confident they will have changed that now that somebody has broken in and stolen a bunch of their shit, but this is what they were doing at the time just in case.

2123
03:00:07,300 --> 03:00:16,300
I had a rough list of the things that he saw inside of said warehouse, which is up to DM's discretion.

2124
03:00:16,300 --> 03:00:20,300
Mostly bulk food storage.

2125
03:00:20,300 --> 03:00:24,300
Bodie's going to chime up.

2126
03:00:24,300 --> 03:00:29,300
So you found one of their food warehouses.

2127
03:00:29,300 --> 03:00:42,300
Found anything else of theirs? Like where they might eat prisoners? Or do you just steal from people? No judgment.

2128
03:00:42,300 --> 03:00:50,300
I'm just kind of going to try to get a feel for your level of involvement here.

2129
03:00:50,300 --> 03:01:00,300
How did you know they had food to start with, I guess is my question.

2130
03:01:00,300 --> 03:01:04,300
Basic logic and I'm going to go with that one.

2131
03:01:04,300 --> 03:01:15,300
They are an organization that is claiming to, I'm not entirely sure, but they seem to be an organization that is taking over the area.

2132
03:01:15,300 --> 03:01:21,300
Step one to taking over an area is make sure you're the one with food.

2133
03:01:21,300 --> 03:01:28,300
Something soldiers fight on their stomachs, not with their guns.

2134
03:01:28,300 --> 03:01:38,300
So I figured they were probably going to be stockpiling food, and they were, much like I am.

2135
03:01:38,300 --> 03:01:53,300
And I figured they've probably got it somewhere. And that large buildings, specifically the sort that have large windows for appropriate climate control,

2136
03:01:53,300 --> 03:02:00,300
is probably a logical place to keep said food. So I started poking around.

2137
03:02:00,300 --> 03:02:14,300
I've tried to avoid talking to them where possible, given how my first run in with them went, which was quite negatively.

2138
03:02:14,300 --> 03:02:27,300
So I haven't been able to do a whole lot of interviews with them, and I haven't exactly been looking for strongholds in general, but it sounds like you are.

2139
03:02:27,300 --> 03:02:39,300
Well, it's part of the reason we're back in this shithole instead of somewhere safe.

2140
03:02:39,300 --> 03:02:52,300
Speaking of that, Bodhi, I had an idea that it's a stupid one, and I don't have any guarantee that I wouldn't get caught doing it.

2141
03:02:52,300 --> 03:03:06,300
But I might have a way of finding Dain if I'm given a lot of time and take it slow, I guess.

2142
03:03:06,300 --> 03:03:14,300
He thinks for a minute. What do you have in mind?

2143
03:03:14,300 --> 03:03:27,300
More specifically, what you have in your mind. I think that through you, I could find Dain's mind pattern and search for him that way.

2144
03:03:27,300 --> 03:03:36,300
But I'll have to take a lot of time covering my tracks to do so, because if they've got mages, then they're probably looking for people who can do such a thing.

2145
03:03:36,300 --> 03:03:40,300
He shakes his head.

2146
03:03:40,300 --> 03:03:50,300
I've already tried that. Wherever they're keeping him, it's warded.

2147
03:03:50,300 --> 03:03:54,300
It's a good idea, but I already tried.

2148
03:03:54,300 --> 03:03:59,300
Fair enough.

2149
03:03:59,300 --> 03:04:12,300
But if we can find the areas that are warded, it will narrow down the potential options, at least.

2150
03:04:12,300 --> 03:04:17,300
Now that is a thought.

2151
03:04:17,300 --> 03:04:31,300
They're going to be putting a lot more resources into hiding the places where they don't want their trapped mages to be found than they are going to food warehouses.

2152
03:04:31,300 --> 03:04:35,300
Good point.

2153
03:04:35,300 --> 03:04:42,300
I guess that would be our starting point then.

2154
03:04:42,300 --> 03:04:54,300
Jessica looks at Astoria for a second, gives her hand a tiny squeeze.

2155
03:04:54,300 --> 03:05:03,300
Alright. I guess I have to be the bad guy and say it.

2156
03:05:03,300 --> 03:05:07,300
Can we even still do this?

2157
03:05:07,300 --> 03:05:13,300
We lost Seth.

2158
03:05:13,300 --> 03:05:19,300
Astoria is spent.

2159
03:05:19,300 --> 03:05:28,300
JR is, not to put too fine a point on it, dead weight.

2160
03:05:28,300 --> 03:05:45,300
We just got you back up live, and I don't know that I really trust you yet.

2161
03:05:45,300 --> 03:05:51,300
Can we still do this?

2162
03:05:51,300 --> 03:05:54,300
Or do we need to consider our options?

2163
03:05:54,300 --> 03:05:59,300
If Cody spent all this time helping us, it would be pretty shitty to just abandon him now.

2164
03:05:59,300 --> 03:06:04,300
I know. I don't want to abandon him.

2165
03:06:04,300 --> 03:06:10,300
He did save my life. And Dane saved my life.

2166
03:06:10,300 --> 03:06:16,300
I just want us to think about whether this is even still something we can do.

2167
03:06:16,300 --> 03:06:21,300
If we all die trying to do this, that doesn't help Dane either.

2168
03:06:21,300 --> 03:06:31,300
Yeah? Just want all our options on the table.

2169
03:06:31,300 --> 03:06:36,300
Can we still do this?

2170
03:06:36,300 --> 03:06:43,300
We don't know. We didn't know if we could do it to begin with.

2171
03:06:43,300 --> 03:06:53,300
I think our best move right now is to start the search,

2172
03:06:53,300 --> 03:07:00,300
see if Chase here can give us any more info on these people,

2173
03:07:00,300 --> 03:07:03,300
and work our way from there.

2174
03:07:03,300 --> 03:07:08,300
Do a deep dive into my brain tonight and see if I can pull up anything useful.

2175
03:07:08,300 --> 03:07:14,300
In the meantime, let's consider the whiskey a gift,

2176
03:07:14,300 --> 03:07:22,300
and I'll help you guys with this Dane guy if I can.

2177
03:07:22,300 --> 03:07:26,300
Since you did save my life, then I owe you a real one,

2178
03:07:26,300 --> 03:07:35,300
not just here's some shit that doesn't mean much to me.

2179
03:07:35,300 --> 03:07:38,300
Hey, Astoria?

2180
03:07:38,300 --> 03:07:40,300
Yes?

2181
03:07:40,300 --> 03:07:44,300
Given that I was able to look at this house earlier when we were further away,

2182
03:07:44,300 --> 03:07:52,300
are we able to activate any latent wards to prevent it being found via correspondence?

2183
03:07:52,300 --> 03:08:01,300
There should already be some wards on it, but I can try and go through and see if we can turn the Aisle on.

2184
03:08:01,300 --> 03:08:04,300
That may not be a bad idea before we start trying to search for Dane.

2185
03:08:04,300 --> 03:08:14,300
Would you like another occult roll or whatever it was you had me roll earlier?

2186
03:08:14,300 --> 03:08:22,300
I'll go ahead and tell you that one of the things Astoria would know is that an Order of Hermes house

2187
03:08:22,300 --> 03:08:27,300
would not typically be warded to be invisible.

2188
03:08:27,300 --> 03:08:30,300
It would be more subtle than that.

2189
03:08:30,300 --> 03:08:36,300
It would be warded to prevent anyone from seeing what's going on inside.

2190
03:08:36,300 --> 03:08:42,300
If it's warded to not be findable under correspondence, then it's a blank spot on the map.

2191
03:08:42,300 --> 03:08:47,300
Blank spots on the map tell you that there's something there and no one wants you to see.

2192
03:08:47,300 --> 03:08:52,300
Right, and that kind of leads into what Naomi is trying to fish for.

2193
03:08:52,300 --> 03:09:02,300
So it is already warded so that if someone is looking at it with correspondence, they don't see what's going on inside

2194
03:09:02,300 --> 03:09:09,300
or changes that are happening. They see the house at a fixed state.

2195
03:09:09,300 --> 03:09:19,300
Well, I thought I just had a bad go with magic earlier, but that makes a lot of sense too.

2196
03:09:19,300 --> 03:09:28,300
Dane, when you were looking for Bodhi, you said it was warded. Did it seem like this place would?

2197
03:09:28,300 --> 03:09:33,300
Or were they more sloppy about it?

2198
03:09:33,300 --> 03:09:42,300
I guess it's probably something like this because I just couldn't get a trace of him.

2199
03:09:42,300 --> 03:09:46,300
There's a few different spots in the city that are warded.

2200
03:09:46,300 --> 03:09:55,300
I think that it's spreading, almost like they're steadily warding more and more.

2201
03:09:55,300 --> 03:10:01,300
But there's a lot of places downtown and along the waterfront that are warded out.

2202
03:10:01,300 --> 03:10:08,300
It could always be one of those, or just somewhere I haven't looked yet.

2203
03:10:08,300 --> 03:10:19,300
Your idea is sound to find where you can't see, but you still have to look first.

2204
03:10:19,300 --> 03:10:27,300
I haven't had a lot of time to look while trying not to die.

2205
03:10:27,300 --> 03:10:38,300
Well, ideally being here for now will give us that opportunity.

2206
03:10:38,300 --> 03:10:49,300
But personally, at least before I start helping to look for that, I want to see about us getting some food in us.

2207
03:10:49,300 --> 03:10:55,300
I also am hoping a story and I can work on making sure the house is warded against spirits,

2208
03:10:55,300 --> 03:11:03,300
because I'd rather not have our earlier friend come back again.

2209
03:11:03,300 --> 03:11:10,300
Okay. Go ahead and give me those Arate rolls.

2210
03:11:10,300 --> 03:11:17,300
But I do think we need to call it before we drag Jessie too much later into the night.

2211
03:11:17,300 --> 03:11:23,300
That's the thing, is I'm trying to leave it so that the Arate rolls can even happen in RP.

2212
03:11:23,300 --> 03:11:33,300
Yes, I'm sorry. I am attempting to help wrap up and we will roll this conversation straightforward into RP.

2213
03:11:33,300 --> 03:11:38,300
A story had said they wanted to do something.

2214
03:11:38,300 --> 03:11:41,300
You okay doing whatever it is in RP?

2215
03:11:41,300 --> 03:11:45,300
That's fine. Or do you want it to be verbal?

2216
03:11:45,300 --> 03:11:53,300
That's fine. I assumed you guys had questions, so I was preparing for that.

2217
03:11:53,300 --> 03:11:55,300
Yeah.

2218
03:11:55,300 --> 03:12:01,300
Lots of questions indeed.

2219
03:12:01,300 --> 03:12:09,300
Okay. And with that, I think we're done.

2220
03:12:09,300 --> 03:12:10,300
Go ahead.

2221
03:12:10,300 --> 03:12:13,300
No, I was saying never mind.

2222
03:12:13,300 --> 03:12:18,300
Okay. And we'll call it there. Thank you everybody for coming.

2223
03:12:18,300 --> 03:12:26,300
And looking forward to hopefully a lot of text RP in the next couple weeks, since we do have two weeks for our next game.

2224
03:12:26,300 --> 03:12:44,300
Hopefully we should be able to.
