Thanks for watching! Welcome to Agent's Dossier,
a Delta Green actual play series brought to you
by 12 Sided Stories. And now your GM, Wes Otis.
Hello. And welcome to Agents .ca episode number
23. My name is Wes Otis. I have some wonderful
players with us. Let's start with Michelle. Hey,
I'm Michelle Otis and I'm playing Yesenia, who
is hopefully going to survive. Hello, I am Pooja.
I am playing Robin Porter. And if we could not
not have to hide in any more, more storage units,
Robin would greatly appreciate that. And last
but not least, pretty much last because she woke
up late, Saint. What are you telling me? It's
called out. It's a weird week. Even weirder for
Norman, who I am playing. Yeah, he just, I don't
know, he really went through some harrowing times.
So let's also keep him alive. Wow, that's a tall
order. We've been through some shit. We've been
through some shit. Yeah. In the last episode,
you all escaped whatever that dog -faced creature
was who was in the morgue with you as you were
hiding in the lockers. So you made it to the
hospital and you started snooping around asking
the staff about what's going on. And you found
out that the sheriff's been the sheriff since
the 1950s. And... The same triplets have died
several times in different ways, like three or
four times in different ways, and always seem
to come back at some point. You also remembered
the fact that their eyes followed you when you
were in the morgue. So Robin's pretty sure that
they're still alive and just in pieces at this
point. Your contact, Jake, has been there since
the 80s, but seems to not... remember all of
these facts and even did that, as I believe Saint
said, the cliche thing of, you know, the sheriff
was replaced by the son, that kind of thing,
which is very, very cliche, but we're still going
to use it. That's where we're starting. I'm actually
going to say that you have been snowed in to
this hospital for three days and it's finally
starting to let up. The blizzard has passed.
The snow is everywhere. It's the first time in
three days that you've heard the radio work because
communication was basically knocked out. Why
they were trying to get the roads clear and everything
like that. And what this does is it allows us
to give some points back to Yesenia. It allows
Yesenia not to die. This gives her a chance not
to just peace out on us. What I'm going to do,
usually it's only one point per day, but I'm
going to be nice and I'm going to roll a die.
I mean, also, I mean, she had surgery, so there
should have been like a... She did get a boost
from that already. Where are you at right now?
You're at like a... Five. You're at a five. How
many points do you need to get back? You need
five? Okay, well, I rolled a six, so we're going
to say you're back up to full, okay? Yay! So
somehow they had magical... drugs to get you
back where you want. That is the one nice thing
I'll do today because it's our anniversary. All
right, so. Oh, thank you. That's it, though.
That's all you get. You're all in the hospital.
Let's go over the clues that you have so far.
You have not seen where these triplets have died.
There is some kind of dark creature out in the
snow. The snow has stopped, but it's still everywhere
and the roads are just now starting to get cleared
out. So you can leave, but you're going to have
to make sure you have on the right clothes and
equipment to be able to traverse the woodlands.
You know that there's a cult from England that
originally went down to New Orleans and has now
seemed to spread. And the thought process is
that part of that cult, an offshoot, might actually
be here in Taledale. You know that the cops are
involved. Oh, and the health records have been
changed. You need to figure out which thread
you want to go after first now that Yesenia is
feeling better. And that one nurse is the only
one who seems to remember. Yeah, and she stopped
telling everybody because she doesn't want, you
know. I mean, probably for the best. Like, it
feels like, I mean, I'm just saying, seeing as...
Within 30 minutes of arriving in this town, they
took us out back and attempted to shoot us. Yes.
Yeah, they're a bit hostile, so... Just a touch.
You have all of these different threads. Which
ones do you want to go after first? Just on a
practical note, I don't know how... I think we
may have missed the time frame of being able
to go see where these triplets were. killed or
died in general or were mutilated by forces beyond
our knowledge because of the blizzard. Yeah,
with fresh snow and whatever, it's going to be
almost impossible to figure it out. So I think
that's a thread we have to just let go. Yeah.
Okay. Also, I don't want to go back in the woods.
It was kind of traumatic the last time, right?
Just a little. Also, you haven't talked with
your handler in a while. Just throw that out
there. Because all the communication has been,
even your cell phones have been a little weird.
Well, if we are able to get in touch with our
handler, then we can find out more about both
the cult and possibly the triplets. But I'm going
to assume not the triplets because they had no
idea what was going on when they sent us here,
obviously. But at least the cult. Right. Yeah,
I think that's a pretty good idea. Let's check
in with boss man person. All right. So you call
up your handler. He answers the phone and he
goes, where have y 'all been? I thought maybe
you had been retired. Well, almost. We've been
through the whole gamut, we'll say. I'll tell
him everything that's happened so far. It's just
like, Jesus Christ. Well. Yeah. That's, uh. We
may have missed the boat on that. Yeah. Okay.
Well, if you see them walking around, you need
to take them out. How would you recommend taking
out a cadre of immortals? i mean and we know
that they do because they keep dying and then
coming back right And he's also immortal, I guess.
Yes. Yeah. Or at least forever young. Same sheriff,
same age, since the 50s. Yeah. The thing is that
a good chunk of the city just doesn't remember
stuff. Like we've only run into one person who
remembers that the triplets keep dying. And,
you know, most of the town just really just doesn't
even, they're kind of clueless about it. police
force is definitely in Emmett. Or at least a
good chunk of them because they tried to kill
us. Someone watching us? Right this second? No.
Yes? Okay. That would have been a hilarious oversight.
There's just someone taking notes in the corner.
We yell into the phone. They're all hunched down
with a notepad. Don't mind me. It just seems
that the population of this town has dropped
off significantly. It used to be a much bigger
town. Right. Now to throw this out there. part
of that is a joke because Ozzy, who is one of
our Patreon backers called me out on the first
episode. Cause I messed up the population. He's
all like, is it 7 ,600 or is it 76 ,000? And
so I was like, okay, what I'm going to do is
I'm going to make the population go down as a
joke to kind of, you know, cause he eagle eared
it. Eagle eared. I don't know. Anyway, it works
for this, but I just thought it was funny because
he, he, pointed it out so okay so yes but the
population has fallen down because of ozzy so
your handler goes yeah You can get us any more
information on the DeMonte family so we know
anything about what we're dealing with besides
kill it till it's probably dead. And then burn
it. He says, I'll send you some information on
the DeMonte family. I'll send it to Norman within
the next hour. Let me do some digging. Thank
you. And we'll need a vehicle, too. Yeah. Okay.
That would be nice afterwards. Yeah, later. I
will take you up on that. Also, maybe like a
longer discussion about how this is possibly
why you have so much agent turnover. Yeah, let's
have an administrative meeting when we get back.
Look, we appreciate everything that you're doing
and we hope that we see you again. All right,
so he hangs up. And I just turn to the other
two and it's like, I have regrets. Don't forget
to practice self -care. I did think he was going
to be more helpful than kill it and kill it fast.
And kill it thoroughly. Yeah. And I mean, I kept
I was holding my tongue, but I kept being like,
well, we don't know if phoenixes don't exist.
So I guess this will be a trial. I mean, I guess
like at least on that score, if. The sheriff
was a phoenix. They'd have a lot more fires here.
True. Probably. Yes. And the twins have died
in a multitude of ways that don't involve fire
yet. That I was thinking about as well. Triplets.
Triplets. But also, I'm wondering if if they
have resurrected by now, then the impression
I got when I examined, I don't think they're
willing here. This doesn't sound like something
they want to happen. Instead of, you know, murdering
them and then attempting to find the nearest
crematorium, what if we try talking to them first?
And we can always keep murdering them as an option.
Yeah, I am of that mindset as well. I figured
trying to explain that on the phone to Mr. Big
Boss Pants was not gonna... My pants, they're
big and they're bossy. The bossiest of all. The
bossiest pants of all. But I wholeheartedly agree,
Robin. We can probably find out a lot more with
a couple of words and not just straight flamethrowers.
We're going off script here. I wonder how willing
of participants the triplets are. Because it
doesn't seem like getting killed over and over
would be particularly pleasant. And honestly,
like when I examined them and one of them was
like, please help me. It feels like they might
be more on the victim's side. Yeah. I'm going
to just compartmentalize that cosmic horror again
and just agree. Yeah. What's the move then? What's
the next scene that you want to move to? Well,
I'm wondering if, Norman, is there any way you
can figure out who made the changes to the records?
We tried to do that. And that's how we found
out it was administrative level. Oh, OK. But
we just didn't find out which administration.
But they covered their tracks pretty good. But
it's an administrative level thing. Now it's
a small hospital, so it's probably like one of
10 people. And that's what I was wondering. Like
if we get a list of the people who would have
had that kind of access, maybe Norman, you can
trace back, see if any of them have ties to the
DeMontis. Yeah, we did not do that last time.
Absolutely. And I figure that would be something
that I don't even need to ask anyone about. Usually
when you look at a network, you can see what
types of accounts have privileged access and
stuff. So I can be like, okay, that's that type.
That's that type. I can make a little list of,
I don't know who did it, but yeah, they had this
amount of access. You narrow it down to two people,
Erica and Dexter, who are, they're not doctors,
but they're administrators. They're basically
upper management. One of them, their last name
is just Monte, M -O -N -T -E, and that's pretty
damn close. So they dropped the D, you know,
the DeMonte, to just Monte. Which one is Monte?
Erica. Erica Monte. And then Dexter Brunswick.
So now you have that information sent to yourself.
And to add to that, your handler gets back to
you, Norman, about the DeMontes. Says that they
come from Europe and they wrote a book called,
I believe it's DeGules something. There's a cult
in here that's the grossest thing ever. I'm going
to have to use it at some point. I'm just throwing
that out there. Way to tease it. Yeah, and I'm
like, wait, what? How? What? Also, I mean, so
these triplets were cut apart into their component
pieces. Isn't gross enough. Yeah. Yeah. No. Also,
last, and the last arc was gelatinous cube people.
Look, I have horizons that I like to try to make.
All right. So one of their ancestors wrote a
book called Cultus Dis Gules. And it was from
Paris. And it was immediately seen by the church
as heretical. They started burning it. They started
trying to get rid of all the Demontes. And they
fled to Haiti. They got to Haiti. They started
doing some really terrible shit there. with the
enslaved population, who then turned around and
said, fuck you. And they were part of the plantations
that were there. And there was a big revolt,
and the Haitians were able to kick the De Montes
and the rest of the colonizers out of Haiti to
New Orleans. And the last known interaction was
in the 90s. Like late 90s, there was an operation
to go and try to get rid of them. And it's believed
that it's possible that after that particular
one, it spread them even further out into the
U .S. So it's possible that this Erica was a
Demonte in New Orleans 30 years ago, but then
had to flee with those who escaped. All right.
Excellent. Wow. All right. Cultus de ghouls?
Cultus de ghouls. Cultus de ghouls. So I'll just
impart all of this to, yeah, no need to hide
any of it. Okay. Share it with my friends. So
what's your first move? You have all the information.
What do you want to do? Well, if Erica Monte's
office is nearby, perhaps maybe I could sniff
that out before we leave, though I know we probably
should leave soon. Go ahead and give me a luck
roll to see if she's here or not. Oh, OK. Like
she's here as in does she work here or she's
here like physically here? No, no. She's physically
there. All right. 50 percent up to 50 percent
means she's there over. It means she's not there.
Right. The reverse. Oh, wait. Yeah. Yes. Reverse.
Yes. What? So many games. So many games. I got
46. So she's there. She's been stuck there for
a couple of days. So you know that if anyone's
watching you, it's probably her. Okay. It does
make my plan to snoop around her office a little
more difficult. I don't know. I'm going to bring
it back to the crew. Guys, do we think that we
should perhaps interview Miss Monte? Or no, probably,
honestly. As soon as I said it, I was like, no.
But I'm not sure what to do with this. information
if we were office well i mean we could we do
need to get out of here but can we hold off until
she leaves probably not she's probably not gonna
leave till we do if she's clocked you already
then probably not you just don't know if she's
been able to talk to anybody else right yeah
because communication has been down Let's see
if because we don't know what she looks like
or anything like that. So let's see if our nurse
friend is still around. Yeah. See if she knows
anything about Miss Monte. So you talk with the
nurse and she tells you what Erica looks like.
And you've actually seen her around downstairs
a couple of times. But her. Office is on the
third floor because it's a three story hospital
with half the top floor for the administration
and all that. There's offices up there. And is
it locked down or could someone go up there like
without a pass or something? Well, let me see.
No, the key card areas are for places like radiology
and things like that. Upstairs is pretty open.
They might lock their doors. But that's it. We
say that she's down here and perhaps preoccupied.
One of us could do the infiltration upstairs.
See, though, of course, I don't know what we're
looking for. I guess anything that's just weird.
Okay. Where's Jake? I guess the reason why I
asked about Jake was if we could use him as a
distraction slash bait. Rude, possibly, but he
did shoot at us. Also, it's his fault we're here.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, the shooting. Yeah, there's the
shooting. Yeah, he did. Well, and he did call
or contact the authorities. Yeah. Right. Okay.
So you want to use him as bait? Well, distraction.
Okay. No problem. You talk to him. He says, sure,
I'll help you out. I know Erica. I can go talk
to her. You want me to bring her down here? Yes.
All right. Yeah, keep her occupied for a while.
So he does that and you see them start to talk
in the waiting room and you have your opportunity.
Will you stealth? I got decent. Well, I got okay
stealth. I'm at 31. Does anyone have got better
than me? I have 40. Oh, I have 72. What the?
Yes. I'm sitting here. I'm a computer person.
Maybe you can sneak by some bullets instead of
letting them hit you. Oh. Ouchie. My little pin
cushion. All right. I see the flip on my chair.
All right. So I got a 40 under my 72. So you're
able to kind of sneak up there and you unlock
the lock and her office is very clean, very well
put together. Everything is perfectly in its
place. It almost looks like it's too good. Does
that make sense? Like it's staged. Yeah. There's
no pictures. It looks like something that you
would see in a catalog. Like, oh, here's what
our unit number four looks like, you know, or
whatever. And you start going through all of
this stuff. I need search rolls from everyone.
Yay. I love rolling. It's nice. Sometimes. Sometimes
it gets you dead. I got 36 under my 40. I got
a 10 under my 40. I got an 18 under my 50. We
are very successful searchy people this one time.
We're agents. Yes. I'll start with Saint. Norman
finds a small, old -ass Palm Pilot, okay? And
it's completely powered up and everything else.
It's in the bottom of a drawer. And when you
open it up, you notice that... All of the contacts
in there are some variation of Demonte, right?
And like I said, they're all scattered. So there
are some in Texas. There are still some in New
Orleans. There are some in New York. But if the
goal is to track these people down, this is a
very important item because it seems to have
their contact information. Why she's using such
an old device, you're not sure. It might be because
if this family is truly immortal, they might
not know how to use the older technology that
they've learned how to figure out. So that's
your guess on that. Michelle, Yesenia has found
a large book of paper records of different people
who have been basically made to disappear. And
they all say, the same disease. It's all the
same symptoms and diseases. And then there's
also some reference to the sheriff in the 1950s
and that the sheriff might be an ally or a threat.
And that note is specifically from when she got
into town. So she figured out that the sheriff
might be someone that she could deal with and
also, you know, an ally. or an enemy and it looks
like it turned out to be an ally and finally
robin you find a cylinder with this weird small
tiny bugs they're probably about a little smaller
than a dime but there's there's a cylinder and
there's probably about i want to say at least
a hundred maybe more crawling around and when
you find the cylinder they automatically start
to try to push on the glass and push up towards
the top of the thing they seem like they're very
aware that you're there that's what you find
uh while holding the palm pilot i'm like this
is hilariously old and looking at it scrolling
through and i'm thinking like oh god meta note
did palm pilots they had like a it was a us old
school usb connection yeah okay those are still
around I would definitely have like 30 of those
cables in my bag. My instinct, I don't know if
we have time, is to kind of just like copy all
the contents of it. Because of course, if it's
missing, that's going to be a big deal. So I
want to do that. But I am, before I notice that
or do that, I notice the bugs and I'm wondering
if that's about to explode. How secure does that
look? So I have biology. Is there anything I
can tell about these bugs without exposing myself
to them? You've never seen this type of bug before.
They don't look like anything you've ever seen
before, so you would have to open the jar and
do some work. Well, I'm not doing that in this
office. So give me a computer science roll, Norman,
to see. Okay, got a 46 again. That's under my
computer science, which is 61. So you're able
to quickly copy everything off. Now I'm going
to start making rolls to see how long she stays
downstairs. So this is the first roll. Ah. All
right. So far, so good. Do I have a phone on
me? Yeah. I would. Someone has a phone. I'm sure
you do. Yeah. Because I want to start taking
pictures of some of the pages in the book. Yeah.
It's one of those big, like, office binders that
has, it's like a five -inch binder or whatever.
It's my school project. Yeah. There's no way
I'm walking out of here with it. All right. I'm
taking the cylinder. We're getting out of here.
Oh, she's straight yoinking it. I refuse to open
it in this office where it is not a controlled
environment. That's how you get bugs crawling
into your skin. All right, so you all leave,
and you're heading towards where the elevators
are and the stairs, and you see the elevator
getting up to where you're at. Everybody roll
for me stealth to see if you can get into the
stairway without being seen. My heart is actually
beating. Well, that's good if it wasn't. I'm
immersed. 36 under my 72. I got a 32. I got a
32. Do you have a 30? I have 31. Oh! One point.
And Pooja? Wait, is there luck? No, there's no
luck in this one. I rolled a two. Oh my god,
you guys are gone. And I'm just here. Okay, well.
Put a check mark. Oh, yeah. Thanks. Yeah. So
I can get to that 32 next time. So the door swings
open. Your friends are already gone. And the
door swings open as you are trying to get out
and you stumble a little bit. Suddenly, Erica
comes out and she sees you and she goes, I'm
sorry. What are you doing here? I am completely
lost, ma 'am. Can you actually help me? Because
I've been in this hospital for like three days
and I was hoping to find one decently smelling
bathroom. I know it's not the fault of any of
the custodians. I've just been like... No, I
understand. I understand. Listen, come down to
the... I'll let you into the executive bathroom.
It's just right down here. Wow. Thank you. So
much, ma 'am. I'm just, you know, it's just a
comfort thing. And I can't wait to get out of
here. No, I understand. She opens the door and
says, go ahead, go on in. And this is not her
office, right? It's just like. No, this is the
executive bathrooms. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Separate
whole thing. So now I'm in here. She's not going
to. Can I hear the door? She walk off or is she
waiting for me? No, she absolutely tackles you
into the room and tries to attack you. And that's
where we're going to end this episode. Thank
you everybody for what? Oh yeah. So thank you
everybody for playing. It was a lot of fun. There's
going to be some outtakes from this that, because
I'm not going to leave them in the episode, but
I will make outtakes of this one. Cause there
were some funny things like Michelle's book addiction.
So where can we, you know, they know where the.
podcast is because they're wonderful backers
and supporters but where can we find all the
wonderful people we will talk with the person
