When the world's gone to shit and the dead walk
among the living, the only thing left that matters
is family. Hi, hello everybody. My name is Turk.
Welcome back to the Grouch Couch. Welcome back
to episode 6 of Family Survives Together. As
promised, the first episode of our series is
almost to 100 likes. And as I promised... If
that were to happen, we are going to do episodes
6 through 10. It's very exciting stuff, but that
means we have another goal. If this episode here
gets to at least 50, we'll do 11 through 15.
So, please make sure to leave a like if you want
to see more episodes of this series right here
on the channel. Obviously, it's been a little
bit. Hair's blue now. Office is different. If
you've been following along this far, first of
all, thank you so much. I want to remind you,
if you want to pick anything up for your own
solo series, you can use our DriveThruRPG link
down in the description. And if you have anything
that you want to add to our story, please do
leave them in the comments, and I will do my
best to include them into the story. Speaking
of that, we have a couple of comments of things
I would like to include. If you remember the
last episode, we were talking about what were
the names that were going to go on the headstone.
Robert actually got it in first. as rest in peace
to Gregory and Melissa Owens. I have no idea
what that's a reference to, so just seems like
some real good classic names, you know? Nailzike
Gaming says that they should sleep on the second
floor and block the main entrance by taking apart
pews to barricade it. They can use a ladder,
which zombies can't use. To go in and out of
the building from the bell tower, which can be
connected to their sleeping quarters. Only issue
would be Poochie and maybe Aiden. The door needs
to get shut, though. That's a huge risk. Yes,
it is. It's a very huge risk that they. Just
have broken doors. So that's going to be one
of the first things we're going to start working
on here today. Significant religious texts have
been torn up or burned. Yes, Milk Mafia, for
sure. There's a bunch of those all over the place.
And potentially radio stations that are active.
Well, hopefully we're going to roll some dice
on that and we're going to see how that goes.
And so here we are. We're back in our zombie
apocalypse world. Our background today is featuring
Aiden and Torka for... Reasons I think we're
going to get into. I did officially make Aiden
Ryder's character sheet. So Aiden has the archetype
of the kid. which means one of his talents is
that he's a child of this world, so he doesn't
take stress whenever he sees someone get bitten.
And also his mobility and his stealth are his
main traits. So he's small and fast. And he starts
with a baseball bat and a pack of gum. I'm flavor
texting the gum to be the candy that Jay gave
to him whenever we first got him back. And I
have also finally, someone told me, it wasn't
in a comment, but someone was like, aren't you?
putting the experience in their character sheets
so we're finally putting their experience in
the character sheets maybe at the end of today's
episode or the beginning of next episode we're
actually going to apply some experience and do
some leveling up all right people treat him like
a child which is an issue he doesn't like to
be treated like a child he's afraid of the dark
and his drive is that kids will grow up to rule
this world which he's not wrong He's not wrong
at all. We have filled out the old church's stats.
So our issues are the busted front doors and
the fact that we have no running water. There
is a river nearby, as we did establish when we
were adventuring around this area. But I did
put all of our current player characters in there.
With our capacity of one, we could have up to
ten survivors comfortably. We have the kid, the
scientist, the outcast, the nobody, which are
our characters. And our projects are the repair
of the radio transmitter, which is actually...
the thing that Cece wants to do. She wants to
make a radio tower. That's why she was at the
carnival. That's why she wanted the parts for
the radio tower. It's one of the first things
I'm sure she's going to want to work on. But
secondly, we're going to call it a project. We're
going to call it defense barriers. And the defense
barriers is going to be plus two defense, but
it's going to be using the pews, just like the
comment said, to reinforce the doors. And after
we get all that done, we're going to be using
ladders to go in and out of the bell tower because
that's just it. fantastic idea. And I think it's
the best way to utilize the church and kind of
what we have. So we need tools and we need equipment.
The good thing is that I know right off the bat
here, we're going over some rules and stuff.
All right, we're going to get into the story
soon. Okay, I promise. Jesse actually has a talent
called Handy. With a little time and some tools,
he can repair pretty much anything, even if he
doesn't have the right parts. He also gets a
plus two to tech when he repairs things as a
project. Guess what? We're talking about projects
here, but there is an issue. As we last left
off, our guy Jesse has a fractured arm. He's
going to be spending this first day here. So
it's a fracture. In the book, it only takes a
couple hours to recover. But this first day,
he's going to be, in my mind, he needs to actually
rest. So I've had some time to think and let's
recap a little bit. We've made it to this church,
which it needs a name, by the way. Right now
on the character sheet, I just called it the
old church, but we need a name. So the first
comment I'm asking from for you guys is a name
for our haven. All right. Sanctuary or something
like that. But we made it to the old church.
We have buried these bodies, which was Melissa
Owens and her husband, Jesse, broke his arm.
trying to kill the zombies. We spent a little
bit of time cleaning this place out, getting
ourselves comfortable here, figuring out what's
on the inside, what is what. I think by this
time, Cece has found the microphones and other
kinds of equipment that was in the back room
that Torka just completely ignored. So it took
her a little while to find it, but she did eventually
find it. We've gotten rid of a lot of the old
religious text, and we're probably using it as
fuel. to burn fires and stuff. So it's been a
couple of days, and not only is Jesse's car got
scratches all down the side of it, I know that
he wants to fix it. Also, his arm is broken.
And I know for a fact that Cece is going to want
to set up this radio immediately, even if other
people are arguing with her, like, we need to
fix the door, we need to do this thing, we need
to do that thing. She's going to be staying here.
And she's going to be working on this radio tower.
It's literally her goal. It's the thing she wants
to do since the beginning. So where does that
leave us? That leaves us with Torka and Aiden.
We need food. We need equipment. We need weapons.
We need tools. So we don't have a lot to even
take with us weapon -wise as it stands. I mean,
we need to get... armor and weapons and things
especially if we're going to be able to delve
deep into that mall that's nearby or even go
into that air force base that's across the river
that we talked about i think in episode three
or four but that leaves us with torka and aiden
and i believe after some convincing torka was
able to convince jay that like let me and your
little brother go together we're gonna go scavenge
for some food we aren't gonna go far you can't
go Cece's caught up. We're going to cut to them
now after they've prepared themselves to go out
on a run. Torka and Aiden are hanging out with
Jay, who's in a back room laying down. There's
no beds. He's just on the ground with like some
old sweaters as a pillow. And he's got his arm
up in a sling. And Jay looks at Aiden and he's
like, All right, little brother. I'm trusting
you. I know you said that you've seen all this
stuff, you know. You've been up in the treehouse.
You've seen all these zombies go down. You know
what's going on. But you're still a young man.
You haven't seen as much, like, combat. You know,
I need you to stay close with Torka. Torka. And
he looks at him. And Torka's like, yeah, man,
what's up? If anything happens to my little brother,
it'll be your head. And Tarka's like, of course,
man. Look, we're not going to go far. Right down
south. We're going to head. We're not going to
go to the mall. All right. I know we're not prepared
for that yet. We may scope it out, but we're
not going to go there. We're going to come right
back. Jesse's like, all right. He turned to his
little brother and he's like, I love you. It's
your first run. Good luck. And Aiden's like,
I can't, I can't believe I'm going out without
you for my first run. He's like, I know. So you
be good. He's like, I will. That's where things
are going to start. And so we're not taking vehicles.
We're going to go for a walk. Just these two
to stay the most quiet. They're going to be sneaking
through. I imagine down south, like there's like
a road. We came off the road to the church. And
I imagine through the parking lot down south,
there's like a bunch of trees, you know, lined
up. They lead out to like a freeway or something
on the other side. We're going to roll to see
what that is, but they're going to go on foot.
And as they step outside, Tork is going to pull
these up here so we know who's with us. Tork
is going to turn to Aiden and he's going to be
like, all right, man, we can do this. Just me
and you. Of course. They're going to start heading
down south through the forest. And both of these
two are just going to roll a simple stealth check
just to get us started because they're going
to be sneaking through the grass and they don't
want to startle anything or get anything, you
know, make any noises to get anything pulled
towards the old church. We still need a name
for that. So we're going to do this here. We
don't have any more stress dice. We're all cleared
up. And just one success. That's all we need.
Just a one. That's two successes. Tork is doing
pretty good. All right. Your first roll ever,
Aiden. You have eight dice in stealth. This is
your skill. That's one success. Beautiful. So
both of these guys are sneaking real good and
quiet through the forest. And I want to see as
they're sneaking through, is there any kind of
scene alteration happening? All right. So there
was a scene alteration. An interruption event.
It's PC positive. Oppose inside. Oppose inside.
What PC are we talking about here? Is it Torka
or is it Aiden? We'll do odds for Torka and evens
for Aiden. It's odds. So this is positive for
Torka. Torka sees something that's oppose inside.
Maybe immediately. We're sneaking past an old
house that's on the other side of the parking
lot of the church. We go like into a backyard.
That's where all the trees were there. And then
we're sneaking past an old house and Torka's
looking through the window. Maybe Torka sees
something in the window as they're sneaking through
there. As Torka and Aiden run across the backyard,
then they begin creeping past the side of this
crumbling vine covered house. You know, the air
is thick with tension as they get to this point.
They're, like, crawling real quiet. And Aiden
grips his baseball bat tightly. He's scared.
He hasn't been out alone before. His breath's
shallow as they stick close to the wall. And
I think Torka's going to, like, motion for Aiden.
You know, he's like, follow him past a broken
window. You know, and then they hustle under.
And as they do, I think both of them hear a rustling
inside. And so Torka halts. He readies up his
spear, and then as he looks into the window,
he spots the source. I think there's a walker
stumbling inside the house. And as they poke
up their heads, the walker sees them. But then
without warning, the walker takes one step forward,
and the weakened floorboard beneath it just gives
way. And the walker crashes through. impaling
itself on the jagged debris below. And I think
Torka exchanges a wide -eyed look with Aiden,
and he's like, hey man, I guess the house is
on our side. And Aiden just gives him a nervous
smile. This house on the other side of the church,
rotted and crumbling, inadvertently, I mean,
it opposes the danger that was inside of the
house. And it neutralizes the threat without
these two even having to lift a finger, which
is a PC positive. So relieved, I think Torka
and Aiden slip past the window and go around
to search for a door. This is the first house
on the outskirts of the church that we're searching.
And if there was a walker in there, that walker
could have been the person that was living there
who died there. Which means maybe it hasn't been
searched yet. We are in the early stages of the
apocalypse. So they're going to go around to
the front door. Now, if there was a walker in
there, was this door unlocked? 50 -50. Is the
door unlocked? Just to make it easy for them.
Exceptional? Yes. That means that the door is
open. Wide open. So that's how the walker got
in there. Which means I don't know if there's
anything on the inside here. So they're going
to step inside and we're going to pull up some
roll charts. Some room flavor. We're going to
roll on that. We're going to roll on scavenging.
So first, there are bushes growing indoors. They're
getting sun and water from a crack in the roof.
So there's holes in the roof as they step inside.
Draws a revolt from the scavenging table. Binoculars.
Oh, that's actually fun. So, like, right on the
window, Aiden, like, grabs the binoculars and,
like, looks through them right at Torka's, like,
face. And they, like, giggle for a second. And
I'm gonna add these to his character sheet, because
that's very fun. Binoculars are also helpful.
Right off the bat, binoculars are good. But now
both of these guys were gonna roll survival checks
just to see if they can find anything else in
this house And then we'll roll to see what it
was So we're gonna do survival For Torca You
got zero successes we could push but at this
point we really don't need to so he's just looking
around he doesn't See much. What about Aiden?
Also doesn't see much So we found some binoculars
in the house. And Tork is like, all right, man,
that's it. Time to keep going. And Aiden's like,
all right. I want to see if these are actually
useful for seeing things at a distance. So they
might help with, like, scouting checks. Yeah,
we like that. We like that a lot. Okay. So across
the street from this house, there's a reason
why we came this way. Ruins is what we're going
to roll on. We're going to roll on the ruins
chart to see what we get. Okay, so whatever's
on the other side, we don't know, but an overturned
school bus is in the middle of the road. Is there
any walkers around right now? Rollable tables,
let's roll a random threat level just to see.
One. All right, I found it. So threat level one,
which is what we roll, which means there are
walkers around, but they haven't noticed us.
We might suffer a single walker attack if we
mess up a skill check. Okay, I was just doing
some re -rolling, just double checking that,
you know, we're doing the threat level right.
And I was going through rereading everything
and everything. It looks like all is well. If
I need to change the rules or whatever, I will
in the future. But right now, that seems right.
We're in a cleared and safe area for now, which
is really lucky. It's very, very lucky. And which
means there is an old broken down school bus
up ahead here. I think Aiden looks at Torka and
Aiden's probably like, school? I used to go to
school. And Torka's like, oh yeah, man. You wanna
go check it out? Let's go over there. And he's
like, yeah, let's go. And they like hustle across
the street and they get to the school bus and
everything still looks clear. And Aiden's gonna
step like in through the window. is like Tork
is like holding his hand and they're going to
step into this old torn over school bus. Do they
find anything in this school bus? And I'm actually
going to use luck oracle. Very cool. Draws a
result from the luck oracle table. Extreme yes.
Okay. That's very cool. Extreme yeses mean we
get to roll twice on the scavenging table. I'm
going to put that down there for easier use later.
Extreme yes. Okay. real scavenging what in this
school bus there is a sword and a crossbow aiden
probably like runs to the back of the bus and
finds him back there i mean if there's a sword
and a crossbow then that means there has to be
like something else like actually what if this
was like a school bus people were living in and
it was driving down the street as they were like
trying to get out of town it's like people who
were living in the school bus so there's like
other stuff in here it's like a you know there's
like blankets and like other kinds of stuff like
people were living in it and driving around the
city in it and it got overturned and now it's
been ransacked and the windows are broken and
everything's messed up so what was left behind
that seems useful of these two just looking through
stuff was a sword And a crossbow. And a crossbow
is so good. And Torka probably turns to Aiden
and he's like, right on, man. Let's both take
one, man. Which one do you want? And I think
Aiden is going to take one look at that crossbow
and he's going to be like, yes. Because if we
remember, he had like a little fake toy bow that
he used to play with all the time. And he pretended
to shoot his brother with it. And whatever it
was, that fourth episode. And so Aiden is like
all over this crossbow. And we're going to add
it to his character sheet right now. That is
awesome. So now they step out of the school bus.
And if we remember, this school bus was just
in the way of where we were trying to get to.
Right? So what is on the other side here? factory
dead workers everywhere spray painted arrows
lead into the manager who has barricaded himself
in his office he will hide the fact that he's
already bitten okay well i don't know if i'm
keeping any of that but we are going to do a
factory with dead workers everywhere and so we're
actually going to have aiden use his binoculars
and he's gonna we're gonna stand at the bus and
he's gonna scout this whole thing out and i'm
actually going to give him one bonus die because
he has the binoculars seems fair all right so
that's two successes so what kind of threat level
does he see happening over here at this factory
is it even worth going in there okay Well, I
think what we're going to do is we're going to
roll a 1d6 to determine how many walkers are
in front of this factory in front of us. That's
what we're going to do after researching, because
threat level really doesn't work for us in this
situation. That's a 1. That's the best case scenario,
which means there's 5 through 10. All right,
so there's 5 or 10. That's wonderful news. We're
standing out by this bus, and Aiden looks back
at Torka, and he's like... He's like, all right,
man, there's only like five or ten that I can
see on the outside of this factory. Is it worth
it going in there? And Tork is like, whoa, what
even kind of factory is it, man? And we're going
to have to roll some discovery meeting tables
to figure that out. All right, let's roll. Over
here, relative building size. It is normal size.
This is the roll chart that The Walking Dead
actually provides us. I'm going to try to use
a little bit more of those here. Okay, well,
let's try to use this oracle. We're going to
roll a d6. Yeah. And then we're going to roll
a 2d6. So, column 6. We got a 44. Spirituality.
For a factory? What are they making? Spirituality.
Factory that makes something to do with spirituality.
What? Okay, well, we got spirituality. So it
kind of makes sense. We're right nearby a church,
right? So maybe this factory made stained glass
windows, religious statues, ceremonial items.
You know, maybe it actually made like doors and
things for churches, which is kind of relevant
for us. What supplies could we get from in there?
Tools, scrap metal, stained glass, obviously,
some crucifixes they could make for weapons.
And even though they are factory workers, then,
you know, they're all there's a lot of spiritual
stuff going on so far in this here campaign.
And I didn't do any of it on purpose. So they're
going to sneak across the street and they're
going to see if they can get inside. And they're
just going to see. What they might be able to
find in here. That's what they're going to do.
So we're going to do some stealth checks. We
know there's only five to ten walkers out front.
That's not bad. I mean, it's a lot, but it's
not the worst thing. So we're going to do stealth
just to get up to the gate. One success for Torka.
Three successes for Aiden. My boy is invisible.
I think we're back to yes or no questions. As
we sneak up to the gate here, obviously the Tinwalkers
are trapped inside. So do we see a way to squeeze
in through the gate someplace? I'm going to call
it unlikely. Yeah, we'll do unsure. 50 -50. Yes,
we do. Sick. So we see like a little gap in the
gate that both of us could squeeze through. And
as we get over there, I'm assuming we see the
door into this factory. It's probably up like
one of those like... concrete you know walkways
that are like slanted are all the walkers close
to this thing exceptional yes all of them are
right in front of it so this is a factory is
there like a ladder that'll get us around a different
way because if they're all right next to it all
five to ten of them then that means we are not
going in that door so is there like a ladder
up to the second floor this is the factory no
okay so then that means we have to get them We
need to distract them. Get them to go some other
way. I think it's probably like some barrels
or something off to the side. And we could totally
like chuck a rock over at these barrels. And
honestly, I think Aiden's just going to do it.
Like before Torka even has a chance to respond,
he just picks up this rock and just like throws
it at all these barrels. And he hits with a three.
So do all the zombies get distracted? Nearly
certain. By this loud bang. Yes. Okay. That's
good. Also, it's a 77. Oh, but it was under the
chaos. Okay, so we're fine. Alright, so then
these two go through the gate, across this little
concreted area, and up to the door. Is the door
unlocked? Yes. Cool. They're gonna squeak it
open, and then on the inside, I'm picturing a
bunch of machinery. It's now quiet, just sitting
still, covered in dust and, like, grime. And
there are, like, remnants of old spiritual art
that are just, like, scattered throughout, like,
half -finished, you know what I mean, pieces
of, like, paintings of Jesus and Buddha and all
kinds of stuff like that. I'm assuming they did
more than just, you know, Catholic kind of stuff.
And there's probably, like, shattered windows
and statues all over the floor. Obviously their
windows are probably cool because they make the
windows. So there's probably light flickering
through fractured panes of colored glass coming
down into this place. And you can see the dust
in the air. Alright, so are there any... Is there
any undead people here on the inside? Or as we
step in, it's a better question. Do we hear anything
moving or walking around? Because it could be
an alive person. Do we hear anybody? No. Okay.
So that means no walkers. Or at least, if there
is someone here, they're quiet. These guys are
going to begin searching around. They didn't
hear anything, which means it's pretty safe.
Yeah, I mean, it feels weird to just say, cool,
now search. But I guess that's it. This is kind
of like going off without a hitch the whole time.
I guess this is really good for Aiden's first
outing. But anyways, okay. Do they search? Yes.
Okay. So... On a yes, we get to roll once on
the scavenging table. A diary written in Spanish
by a girl named Leticia who really craves Pinocha.
So Aiden finds a diary written in Spanish. Huh.
I want to remember that he has that because if
we run into someone like named that, why is there
just a diary here? So like they're in a back
room. Was there someone living here? Exceptional
yes. Okay. Someone was living here and we could
only assume it was Letitia. I want to make a
scout roll to see if we can find any signs of
her to see if she's still here. Maybe she's hiding.
Nope. Aiden's got nothing. What about Torka?
Nope. Okay. Well, out loud then. I think Tork
is going to see this journal. Aiden's going to
be like, hey, look at this. And Tork is going
to be like, whoa, man. Who the heck is Letitia,
man? And Tork is going to see the surrounding
area. And even though he can't see the girl,
she's hiding really well. He's going to be like,
hey, man. We're friendly, man. We just came here
just looking for any kind of supplies, man. You
know. Like, we're cool. If you want to come out,
we're staying at the church. Even if you don't
want to come out now, man, that's where we're
at. And, you know, I know how to make panocha.
Does, okay, I'm going to call it unlikely. Very
unlikely. Does she respond or come out or say
anything? Yes, that's a 31 on a very unlikely.
So let's do. Element meaning characters. So we
can figure out what she looks like as she comes
out. Yeah, let's just start rolling these to
see what happens. Expert mundane. So she's an
expert at something. Expert at friggin' hiding,
apparently. What is her background? Heal humiliation.
She's been humiliated. Personality? Emotion abstinent.
Oh, that's cool. So she's like still -faced.
Appearance? Appearance. Rustic and mature. Okay,
our descriptors. So coming out of a closet in
like a back room that we're standing in where
she was living, where we found the journal, comes
this teenager. I'm going to say like 16 or so.
Leticia. So she has a rustic but mature look.
So she's wearing weathered clothes. Maybe they're
handmade, like a cloak, like stitched, like from
old fabric scraps. She's got dirt under her fingernails
from living in this rough factory. Then her eyes
are sharp, attired, you know? Her hair's probably
tied back. I imagine she's got, like, a black
ponytail streaked with dust and soot from the
factory. Her name is Leticia, and I just feel
like she's Mexican -looking. But when she comes
out, her demeanor is like, she's emotionally
obstinate, so she's guarded, silent, dismissive.
Hmm. she's gonna it comes out of the closet and
then right out of torka's hands i feel like she
just grabs her journal without saying anything
like she's like mad she just walks out like toughy
and she just grabs her journal and torka's like
whoa hey man look all is cool man and aiden looks
at her and realizes, cause I mean, what, how
old was Aiden? Nine or 10, something like that.
She's kind of close to his age. And he's like,
he's like, hi, uh, I'm Aiden. And I'm not going
to pretend to do a Mexican accent, but I'll just
do a female accent. And it's a female voice.
I mean, and she's just going to be like, I'm
Lucretia. No, I do it like that. Cause I imagine
her like Raven from teen Titans, you know, kind
of like dark and like, and she's just like, I'm
Lucretia. And Turka probably gets down on his
knee and he's like, so what are you doing here,
man? And I feel like she's a young teenager,
which means that at one point she had parents.
So is she waiting for her parents or something
like that? Because if, I don't know, I'm going
to call it a 50 -50 before I get into it. Yes.
Okay. Because if she is waiting for her parents,
there was a couple few cool comments of NPCs
and one of them, who she's searching for or who
she's trying to find. I don't see any that makes
sense in my head, but Robert's NPC idea I forgot
about is very good. We're going to have to get
that in there somewhere. So anyways, we need
more NPC ideas. If you guys have any ideas, anybody
that could be connected to NPCs and stuff, do
let me know. So I think for now, instead of asking
her questions about her personal life, Because
we could figure that out later. Torka's just
going to say, like, do you want to come stay
with us? We have room. And straight up, what
is she going to say? Exceptional no. She goes,
uh, no. Fine here. And Torka's going to go, okay.
Well, we're located up at the church, like I
said. So if you need anything, you can come and
you can find us there. And also, if we remember
on her roles here, I got character background
for heal and humiliation. And I was kind of thinking
as the two guys look around this room a little
bit more, they actually noticed that this room
is kind of been adapted into like maybe like
a clinic a little bit. Like there's like some.
some salvage tools and some herbs that she's
growing in pots underneath like broken skylights
and stuff. And they're like bloodstained rags
and handwritten labels all over the place. And
I think Tork is going to be like, are you like
a healer, man? And she's going to be like, yeah,
well, I, I treated a couple of my friends, um,
did live on the other side of the city. I heal
for trade, man. I don't know why I keep saying
man. I keep saying man because of Torka. She
wouldn't say man, but she's like, I heal for
trade, okay? So if you have anything to trade
and you're hurt, you can come to me. I'll heal
you up. And Torka's probably like, right on.
Do you have anything else to trade? Because we're
looking for some seeds. I see you got some plants
over there. We're looking to buy some seeds and
trade for. You know, anything like that. We're
trying to get sustainable food. And does she
have anything to trade? Yes. Okay. Does she have
seeds? We'll call it unlikely. No. Okay. So she
probably has healing stuff then. I mean, bandages,
band -aids, pills, stuff like that. And Torka's
probably like, Um, okay. I don't really have
anything to trade. Oh, but Aiden. Um, can I trade
you my pack of gum for an arm sling for my dad?
I'll call it likely that she'll say yes to that.
Yeah. She's like, sure, little man. And she trades
him the sling. And the guys are like, okay. Well,
it seems that you've got this factory on lockdown
then. It's good to know that you're here. Leticia,
sorry about reading your journal. And remember,
if you need anything, we're right across the
way. Okay. And the guys are going to turn around
and leave. So that makes sense. There's no zombies
on the inside there because she has cleaned them
out. She's keeping the place together. That makes
sense. I wonder what else is going on with her.
Could be... Another NPC or something is like
attached to her. You know, I really wanted to
use it was an NPC idea for someone who's like
scrawny and stuff and who's in and out of jail
before the apocalypse. And I really kind of wanted
that to be her dad because then that could lead
us to Jesse's and Aiden's dad later on. So hopefully
the dice rolls might allow that to happen. That
could be very cool. But the guys found a new
traitor. They got a sword and a crossbow and
no food. The guys are going to leave. this area,
go back out, go through the fence, go back out
to the bus. I want to just make a survival roll
with Torka to see if on the walk back, he can
find any like berries on trees or anything else
like that. Nope. Well, maybe he's like teaching
Aiden on the walk. He's like teaching him. He's
like here, Aiden, here's how you like, you know,
you could find good berries to eat and stuff.
And he's like teaching them how they haven't
found any good ones, but then maybe Aiden's like,
What about these ones over here? Because he got
a one. That's right. And Torka goes over and
he's like, oh, yeah, man, these are just blackberries,
man. Are they blackberries? Rule of fate question.
I really want them to be blackberries, but that
just seems too nice to me. Yes, cool. He's got
found a blackberry bush. So they're going to
pick a bunch of blackberries off this blackberry
bush. Throw them in their bag, like pick the
dang thing clean. And how many, I'm going to
call it one D12. How many rations of blackberries
do they get off this thing? It's a lot of blackberries.
Four. Nice. Okay. All right. Four rations of
blackberries, which might be able to get us through
the day, the night, tonight. And they're going
to go back to the backyard. and back into the
church. And when they get back there, I think
that Cece's still working on the radio tower.
She's almost done. It's going to take her a day
to do this, right? So next time we come back,
the radio tower is going to be done, which means
we can roll some stuff on the radio tower. And
also, when they get back there, Aiden's going
to give the sling to his dad. They're going to
put the blackberries down on like a table, the
crossbow, the sword, and the binoculars. So that's
what they got on their run. Not too bad. Not
too bad at all. And we actually got to experience
the whole run, so that's fun. And then Torka
tells him about the person they found, Letitia.
He couldn't convince her to come and stay with
them, but she's less than a block away, and she
has healing abilities, properties, skills. I
play too many TTRPGs. And Jay's like, okay, someone
being that close could be a threat. Depends on
who she's living with. They could also make noise
and draw more walkers our way. So we got to keep
an eye on them. Aiden. Good job today, man. Yeah,
Torka told me that you did a really good job.
You snuck real good. You searched things. You're
the one that found the blackberries. Yeah, yeah.
It was fun. And I think I did a good job. And,
you know. And Jay turns to Torka and he's like,
I think it's nice for Aiden to feel needed. And
important. And this was really good, so thank
you for doing such a good job. Yeah, man. Whatever
you need, you know? It's all good. And honestly,
I wouldn't mind doing it again. Aiden did a great
job. He's like, alright. Well, let's eat some
food. Let's start barricading up the front door.
I've got an idea with a ladder that we might
be able to do. So we can sleep safe and sound
tonight. And, uh... We'll back at it again tomorrow.
And each one of these guys is going to get experience
for playing the day and surviving and doing well.
That, my friends, is where we're going to end
this sixth episode. Yeah, I don't know how long
it was. I was just playing. So we'll see how
it comes out in editing. I hope you enjoy Torka
and Aiden doing things in the world. I don't
know who Leticia is. That's very curious. Do
leave comments down below what you guys think
might happen. And if you have any more ideas
for anything, I feel like this is a good episode
for me to get back into the groove of this system.
So very good, very fun. All right. Thank you
guys so much for watching. Thanks for joining
me on this adventure that we get to tell together.
And until next time, my friends. Take a seat
on the couch. Roll initiative. See you next time.
