Craig is very fortunate.
He's a bear.
He's not a...
Oh yeah, he is a bear.
I'm just so used to yelling at you.
He is not a bear.
Why did you get so mad about that too?
I don't know.
He really is a bear.
Yeah, Craig...
It's like if I call Toucan Sam a cardinal or something.
Are we going to...
What are we going to do?
Are we going to read it in a funny voice?
I mean, are you going to...
Are you raising your hand?
It's a question.
No, it really just recaps what happened last week.
In case you guys don't remember where you are.
But, I mean, it sounds like you want to read it in a funny voice.
Where's the recap on the...
It's on Discord too.
Just go to Discord.
It's on the last thing she posted in a general.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
This is really old.
That's a...
It is the world's oldest notepaper.
Oh my god.
And a weird one...
A weird one named Jekylls said Templeton.
We weren't looking for a cat.
We were looking for cat food.
I mean, some of us were looking for cats.
Not you.
No.
I'm much too...
Bougie for cats.
You spelled my name wrong.
Bougie.
Did I?
Yeah, it's spelled D-J-U-C-K-L-E-S.
No, it's not.
Yeah, but he would have believed it.
That's true.
He probably would have.
Oh shit.
There's a demonic presence downstairs.
No.
Is there?
Oh.
No.
Wait.
Okay.
There is a question mark.
Right?
Maybe.
So, uh...
Here.
We'll go back to this.
Do you guys see this?
The shrine?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
I wonder why your little tokens aren't showing up.
I put the music on.
Is that okay?
Oh yeah, go ahead.
I thought it was a ghost.
Oh, wait.
Here we go.
Sorry.
We were supposed to start off.
I got a black screen.
Black.
It's just black?
Yeah.
Oh my god.
Tiger zombie season.
How's that?
Is that better?
Better, yeah.
Is it fixed?
Yeah.
Andy, is your token there?
No.
How do you move their token?
You just have to drag it into the scene.
Oh.
So I haven't gotten squish in there yet, but I put the rest of those in there.
Wait, was it ready for the scary music yet?
It's funny that your character
Squish looks like your Discord
character all along.
It's like
you've been playing the long way.
Everything was leading up to this.
Yeah, I mean, the way
you designed him, too, it's like, you know...
Oh, gosh. Oh, my God!
No, I messed up.
There we go.
Captain.
Okay.
All right, yeah, so this is where you guys
left off. This was the
creepy, scary room that you
went into. You saw the remnants of
horrible sacrifice.
And then you went down the stairs,
and it was just a long, black,
scary hallway.
Nothing there.
I did try to add this to Discord,
and I was having issues again,
but here you go.
If you want to take a look at the
long, dark, scary hallway,
it looks like
this.
It is long and dark.
Oh, my God.
That's terrifying.
I'm not going down that thing.
Are you insane?
I mean, there were ghosts in that
other room, and I'm not going down
in this dark hallway?
I mean, it's not that dark.
I mean, there's a little light there.
I mean, yeah, I guess.
But does any of us have night vision?
Perhaps the demon?
Do you have night vision?
Demon?
I'm just going to...
I was going to look.
I was going to try to figure that out
myself.
I don't think you have night vision,
but you could use, like,
like, survey to kind of, like,
look into the room and see how it is.
I think there's a...
There is a flashlight we could have
been carrying this entire time,
and I thought,
I'm not going to need a flashlight.
I'm not going into a basement.
There's not going to be a long,
scary hallway.
If you want to use one...
If someone wants to use it,
they can use it.
You can have it now.
Just say you, uh...
You know, tell me how you packed
for the flashlight.
Wait, what about...
Hold on.
I have burglary gear.
Oh, no.
I used it to open the door.
No, you have burger gear.
Thanks.
I have...
I have a subterfuge supplies,
which is a theatrical makeup kit.
That'll work.
A reversible cloak.
A burglary gear.
How helpful.
Yeah.
All right.
I say we just keep walking,
and we put the little one
in front of us first.
Okay.
It's Shuckles, right?
Yeah, I am the little one.
And you guys are...
You guys, like,
kind of get behind me.
Because what is Squish?
Because you were scared
of those ghosts,
so you're probably on edge,
I would guess.
Yeah, I'm pretty...
Nervous.
There's nothing to be nervous about.
And the captain saw the actual ghosts.
Yeah.
It's pretty scary in there,
but...
There's nothing to be nervous about.
It's stupid butler away from him.
Oh, no.
He's done for the night.
He's very exhausted.
So you realize as you're walking the hallway,
you know,
it's fairly narrow,
but along one side,
on the left-hand side,
you notice that the wall
turns from, like,
concrete to glass.
Now, you can't see
what's beyond the glass,
but you do find a metal door
just on the other side
of the glass wall.
So it looks like it's a window
peering into something.
So very strange.
Uh,
well,
um,
so...
So it's just...
I'm going to stab the glass.
You what?
I'm going to stab the glass
with my chef's knives.
I thought they were throwing knives.
I thought you were...
I thought you were still scared.
I thought you were trying to turn a new leaf.
I thought you were trying to get to that door.
Get me far away from the ghost.
I mean,
he is kind of scared.
Yeah,
so if you want to wreck the, uh,
the window,
you've got to just roll some wreck.
I think there's a wreck, uh,
uh, action.
Oh,
Tiger was showing me this.
There's a way to, like,
pull up the, like,
rolling on your screen.
I don't...
Yeah, it's,
it's on the left,
the,
the token hogging in the top left corner.
I added that module into this one.
The two dice?
Yeah,
so,
uh,
it should be under,
I don't know,
which one are you doing?
Wreck?
Yeah.
Wreck is under,
it's under actions,
then prowess.
I don't see that.
You don't see in the top left corner,
it has,
like,
your,
your character might have to be,
I think you're in the right spot.
Your character has to be highlighted,
I think.
You don't see it,
like,
under the...
No.
Because,
you go up to actions,
because I see it.
Yeah,
I don't see actions anymore.
Actions,
refresh,
maybe.
It's,
like,
right on,
it's,
like,
right in the corner,
right under the shrine.
It should be the same as what we've done in,
uh,
the other games.
Yeah,
I don't,
I don't have it.
You don't have to refresh me.
I've got,
what is it,
seven squares.
Seven squares.
Yeah,
there's,
there's the dice,
uh,
journal notes,
measure distance,
select targets,
measure controls.
Do you have,
controls?
Click on,
click on squish.
I did.
And do you have,
uh,
like the,
so in the token controls,
do you have the token controls highlighted?
Then that's the thing underneath.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I do.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
If I have that selected and my character selected,
then it shows in the top left actions,
resistance,
and utility.
Well,
I can,
I can't really click on squish.
Like,
I'll click on a button.
I see.
You probably just don't own squish.
Yeah.
He's not a licensed character to you.
All right.
Let me,
let me get,
yeah,
let me give you ownership to squish.
Configure ownership.
Yep.
You don't own squish.
But not all players,
just Andy.
Can you really own squish?
We're about to find out.
Now do you see it?
Yeah,
there it is.
Okay.
Great problem solving guys.
Good job.
All right.
So I'll roll wreck.
I don't have any in wreck.
Okay.
So you'll,
if you roll it,
it should roll two.
And I'll take it.
Risky standard.
Yeah.
Oh.
Great.
So you,
tell me how you try to hit.
Well,
I guess I'll do it.
You pick up the knife and you throw it at the glass.
And it bounces off.
And it hits your foot.
Uh,
Oh no,
not his toes.
No,
no,
no.
Subtoes.
No,
no,
no.
No.
I thought you were trying to turn over a new leaf.
I didn't know it would have such bad consequences.
Bridget,
do you know,
do you know about Sergeant Turbo's toe?
Tobo?
He lost his toe in the first mission.
So Sergeant's got a robotic toe.
Well,
you're about to have a robotic foot.
I mean.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Well,
level one harm,
uh,
stub toe.
That might make you a little harder to run away.
Squish,
what are you doing?
Why did you do that?
It looks like class.
I wanted to break it.
There's a door on the other side.
I see.
You tried again.
All right.
So there's a door on the same side as the glass.
Oh,
if we just walked further down and we would have seen it.
Oh,
yeah.
Oh,
well,
you ding,
you ding dong squish.
There's a door right here.
My depth perception is not really good.
Is it because you got no pupils?
Partially.
I forgot my glasses.
All right.
Can I grab,
can I grab the door and try to open it?
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh,
it's a finesse roll.
It's what?
Sorry,
not a finesse.
Um,
do you have tinker?
A tinker roll?
I do.
Okay.
Roll it.
Yeah.
Uh,
success.
You do it.
So tell me how you,
uh,
tinker it open.
Well,
so I,
I said that thing to,
to squish.
I was like,
you ding dong.
There was a door.
If we just kept walking,
if you just keep your cool.
and I jiggle the handle and it doesn't open at first,
but then I bop it like Fonzie and,
uh,
it opens.
Yeah.
I would've hurt myself if I had to bop the door.
Yeah.
Well,
I guess it's not as easy as it looks.
My foot hurts.
You really wrecked yourself.
You should have checked yourself.
I thought you were turning over a new lead.
I don't know what you're talking about.
As you walk into the dark room,
you click on a light and you notice there's stairs leading down.
And inside is the laboratory.
This is the Aruvians,
uh,
in,
uh,
alchemy lab.
They have,
uh,
along the shelves,
there's all sorts of glass doodads and whatnot.
There's little pots or little glass jars that look like they're full of,
uh,
different glowing liquids.
There's some smoky objects.
You notice there's some tools along the side.
There is,
uh,
you know,
work bench.
It looks very much just like an active laboratory slash work room.
Um,
and it's empty.
Do you think?
You,
you do think yes.
And you said,
you just said it's active,
right?
So it's not like abandoned.
No,
no.
It's like,
it's active in the sense that there clearly is activity going on in here
recently,
but not like there's currently people in there.
It's an,
it's not like an old rusty,
dusty,
abandoned laboratory.
Okay.
Captain,
you go first.
Oh,
definitely.
I'm very intrigued by all this.
Look at this.
that's a,
that's,
that's wow.
And that,
there,
you don't know what you're talking about.
Do you?
Oh,
right there.
Yeah.
It is something else.
Right there.
Pointing at a whiskey glass.
No,
I'm pointing at the tubes and glass.
Oh,
tubes.
Yeah.
Tubes and glass right there.
That's easily six centimeters.
Or whatever measurement we use
in this country.
Cubits.
Knots.
Nots.
After that, I meander to the bookcase
and just kind of start perusing the books.
Because that's what I'm doing in real life, too.
Yeah, so there's all sorts of leather-bound books
on the shelves.
A lot of them are pretty basic titles,
you know, like 101,
and then, you know,
Alloys, How Do They Work?
What's Up With Those?
You know, chemistry books.
There's some history books as well.
Basic, Duskable,
city history,
just kind of, you know,
a phone book.
Well, not a phone book.
Let's say an address book.
But then along the top shelf,
you notice there's one shelf in particular
that is, again, glass case.
It does look like it appears to be locked.
However, out of the corner of your eye,
you see it kind of, like,
shimmers a little bit when you look at it.
Also, along the, like,
the shelving and whatnot,
you see a lot of, like,
chemical objects,
a lot of mixing tools,
it looks like,
for different potions
and whatnot,
chemistry items.
Can I try to,
just to throw my knife at that glass case?
Sure, go ahead.
No, no,
I was asking if I should.
I mean, you...
Are you asking me?
Yeah, I'm asking you.
No.
You only got two toes,
or some amount of toes.
How many toes do you have?
I don't know now.
No, I don't think you should...
You've only got one knife left.
Wait, can I pick up that...
that other knife from my foot?
Yeah.
Oh, it's been in your foot
the entire time?
That's badass.
Yeah, I take the other knife
out of my foot.
I mean, it is in your foot,
so, I mean...
It didn't technically
leave your person.
It did not.
Well, I threw that split second
when it was in the air.
And then the other split second
that it was in the glass.
It didn't go in the glass.
Oh.
I think the handle hit it.
Do I know anything
just based on, like,
being, like, a...
I don't know.
I'm not an alchemist,
but I'm adjacent to alchemy.
I would say you definitely
should be interested in this
based on your mystery.
Yeah, I think it's definitely
recognizing what it is.
Like, you can see that
there's some, like,
like, kind of gadgets
on the wall.
So, like,
not quite bombs,
but, like, bomb-making material.
So, like, powders
and little tweezers
and little casings
and things like that.
You recognize, too,
that a lot of these chemicals
are potentially dangerous
if mixed in the right way.
And then as you look around as well,
behind that same glass case,
there are also pre-made bombs,
pre-made potions,
poisons.
You don't know what they are,
but you definitely recognize them
as such.
Guys, this is weapons.
These are weapon materials.
Huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, you know,
you could kill a lot of people
with these.
A lot of people.
Can we kill some glass?
I mean,
I did open the door
like Fonzie.
So, like,
I know a little bit.
Oh, so you open the door
and now suddenly you think
you're some kind of
master tinkerer.
All right,
well then,
eat the chemicals then,
instead.
Because they're alcoholic.
I'm not going to eat the chemicals.
Then who said I'm an alcoholic?
I've seen you.
You got the shakes.
That's just because
I'm not,
I don't have my sea legs yet.
My land legs.
You see me on a boat,
you'll never see me again.
Or whatever.
I'm going to try to open up
that glass case.
All right,
how do you try to open it?
You said there was
like a little glint to it?
Yeah,
so there's like,
when you look in the glass,
you can see that it kind of
like has like a greenish,
blue,
purplish,
kind of just like a,
like oil on,
like when you're looking at oil,
it kind of has that weird
iridescent glow to it.
That's what it is.
Um,
I'm just going to like
tap on it,
see how like
tough it is.
If it's really fragile,
or
Yeah,
see,
tap on the glass,
dook,
and,
uh,
it seems like pretty solid.
Nothing,
nothing crazy about the glass itself.
Is there a candle?
There is a small,
like,
lock in the center of the door,
so it's two glass doors
that are put together,
kind of like this,
and in the center,
there's a lock.
It doesn't look like
a very,
like,
complex lock,
though.
It's just,
definitely just a,
a lock,
a metal lock.
I'm going to try to put my knife in there
and wiggle it open.
That sounds smart.
I'm not throwing it this time,
I learned.
I was going to suggest my sword,
but
the knife's much smaller,
that'll fit.
I,
I see you,
like,
about to put your knife into,
into it,
and I'm like,
do you want me to pick it?
You can do that?
Yeah,
it's kind of my thing.
Oh,
yeah,
do that.
All right.
Please,
do the thing.
Uh,
can I,
can,
so,
what,
is that something I can roll for?
Yeah,
that would be tinker again.
So you're kind of,
like,
tinkering with,
like,
that's kind of the lockpicking.
the general,
like,
doing things,
like,
if you're working on machinery,
it's like tinkering.
Okay.
Um,
what's the role?
Uh,
it's,
for,
for the most part,
unless it's,
like,
crazy otherwise,
it's going to be risky standard.
All right.
Things go badly.
Really?
So you open up the lock,
you manage to click it open,
and you're surprised,
because it's really simple.
But as soon as you open up the glass doors,
you feel a blast of wind,
and you and Squish,
because you're standing right in front of that glass,
kind of get pushed back into the table,
into the door behind you.
There's clattering of glass.
Uh,
each of you are going to take two stress.
Um,
inside the glass case,
it's open now,
you're free to grab it,
but in there materializes this sort of greenish,
grayish creature.
He,
he doesn't really seem to recognize you,
but he definitely is somewhat cognizant.
He,
like,
looks around,
and as his form starts to materialize,
you realize it's somebody in some sort of old lab coat,
with,
uh,
large glasses on his face,
and he's just on patrol now,
just looking around.
Is that how big is he?
Yeah.
What?
He's a normal size.
This is a normal size man.
I thought he was in the case.
He's definitely a ghost.
You guys can all tell instantly.
You can see clearly.
Uh,
he's a ghost,
but he's definitely,
uh,
in front of this,
uh,
this case,
which contains books and,
uh,
weapons.
Oh.
Shovels away.
Ghost pirate.
Oh,
I'm going.
I'm very interested.
Oh,
I was,
shut up.
I need to whisper.
So how are you doing there?
He kind of just like turns and looks at you,
uh,
looks at,
uh,
the captain,
and he,
he,
he recognizes that you're talking to him,
but he doesn't answer back.
Oh,
this is not going well.
He's not answering boys.
Well,
I don't know.
Try something else.
All right.
You want to roll and whisper for him?
Like,
try to like talk to him.
Yeah.
Can I do that?
You can do that.
You tune.
If you tune to him,
you'll be able to see and connect with him better.
Um,
you can also just command him to do something or try to sway him as well.
But if you want to attune to the ghost field,
uh,
you can do that.
Yeah.
That sounds cool.
Let's attune.
Everyone get attuned.
I don't know what that means.
That's an action that you do,
Brandon.
You're going to roll for attunement.
All right.
What do I roll?
Attune.
I know,
but it's like,
it tells me,
do I roll any modifiers?
Standard.
Yeah.
I just,
yeah,
just standard.
What kind of part lines do you have?
What?
Here,
I'm going to come in your room for a sec.
Oh God.
Tiger,
how much do you have in tinker?
Two.
No,
I have three.
I have three in tinker.
That's why I was trying to stop you from.
Show me your room.
Well,
how come you only have two dice?
Uh,
I don't know,
but my,
my.
You shouldn't have failed that.
I,
I have my character sheet is,
oh,
did I roll for you?
No,
I rolled for the captain.
No,
you rolled for the captain.
Oh,
I had the wrong character highlighted.
Yeah,
because you shouldn't have.
Is that okay?
Yeah,
no,
you're right.
I just wanted to.
I don't think it really matters.
I got it open,
so.
I mean,
we got the stress.
We got the stress.
I have a lot of tinker.
Yeah,
you have to tinker a lot.
I rolled for the wrong character.
I rolled for the captain instead of myself.
Oh.
I'm a tinker roll.
Yeah.
Do we want to replay that,
or do you want to just keep going?
No,
there's no reason to replay it.
Well,
the stress.
I don't care.
I want to know what happens with this damn ghost.
Now whisper to the ghost.
It failed.
It didn't work.
I'll do it.
I've never heard this.
I swear this has never happened before.
Did you roll?
I did.
I failed.
What did you roll?
A three?
Yeah.
As you turn to the ghost and look at him,
he just completely ignores you.
In fact,
he kind of floats through you,
and as he floats through you,
you feel like a shock to your body again,
so you're going to take a little too shock.
Great.
Shock.
I don't know how to do it on the sheet,
though.
In the corner.
As far away as he can be from this.
Oh,
here,
mental shock.
I think.
Mild shock.
You already,
did you already have shock?
Yeah,
I just got shocked again.
Oh,
you get two shocks?
Yes.
Nice.
So,
yeah.
So,
the ghost is kind of just like,
he hasn't tried to make any threatening movements towards you,
but he is moving kind of to the other side of the room,
and you see him,
he's kind of just taking his,
going throughout his daily routine,
it looks like he's preparing some sort of mixture.
So,
he goes to one table,
and picks up these items,
even though they don't really grasp them,
but you can see he's attempting to pick things up,
vials,
and pour one into another,
and then he floats to the other table,
and the work table in the center of the room,
and he puts something back down,
and he floats to another cabinet.
So,
he's just,
he realized that he's not,
he's just going through his normal tasks at this point of his day.
He's in the zone.
Follow him around and do what he does.
Yeah,
no,
I was thinking the same thing.
So,
he can't actually pick it up.
He's trying to,
but he can't.
Right.
He can't pick up anything.
He's moving throughout his,
his day.
All right.
No,
I,
I know what he's doing.
I could do it if I wanted to,
but yeah,
I guess I'll do what he's doing.
I mean,
I would do it differently,
but yeah,
I'll,
all right.
So,
I start mixing the stuff up the same way that he is.
Okay.
Going through it.
Yep.
Oh,
oh,
interesting choice to put that here first.
I,
I might've done it a little differently,
but,
uh,
and I just keep muttering as he's doing all these things.
Okay.
Uh,
captain,
what are you up to?
I'm looking for booze.
I'm poking around.
No,
not,
not alcoholic.
Taking sips of things that probably isn't alcohol,
but just trying to see if it tastes all right.
And then I'm pocketing some other things.
You're pocketing things.
I mean,
yeah.
So nothing.
What?
So,
so you're doing nothing.
Yeah,
I'm just doing nothing.
I'm fucking around looking for shit.
The,
uh,
the ghost scientist appears to kind of come to a standstill at one point.
And,
uh,
he picks up one more vial and you see him stare at it for a little bit long.
And then it,
he pours,
uh,
the final vial into the mixture and all of a sudden disappears.
Gone again.
Where did he go?
If by the ghost,
die by the ghost.
Huh?
Uh,
well,
I don't know what that's about,
but now I have this,
uh,
mixture.
Yes.
Drink it.
Uh,
so you look down and what you've created is this kind of just black powder.
Um,
but as you kind of pick it up and you put it into the light,
you notice that it's glowing slightly from within.
Uh,
you can take it if you want.
You recognize that it's a,
it's ghost scourge.
Um,
it's a powder that's used to kind of,
uh,
keep spirits,
rip spirits,
bodies,
uh,
souls from their bodies.
Uh,
so if you were to give it to a person,
their soul would rip out of their body.
Or if you gave it to a ghost,
uh,
you would have command of their soul for a short time.
It's basically soul goo.
It just scrubs the soul out.
Soul goo.
So what I've got here in this bowl is ghost scourge.
I'm sure you know what about it,
all about it,
cap.
Yes.
Ooh.
All right.
As you guys are looking at the ghost scourge,
uh,
you look back to the,
at the bookcase and,
uh,
there's the ghost spirit to get there again.
Really?
Uh,
he stands there for a few seconds looking around,
kind of somewhat recognizes you.
And then the same movements that he was doing before.
Douglas,
you want to go?
It's like a Butler.
Uh,
go for it.
Well,
no,
I'm not big.
I'm not really big on ghost slavery.
Uh,
it's not slavery.
It's only for a little while.
All right.
If,
if I,
so I,
I have an impulse to,
uh,
grab a handful of this stuff and just chuck it at the ghost,
uh,
to get him to talk to us.
Is,
oh,
I guess maybe I should ask the ghost pirate.
Can I,
can I do that?
I mean,
you already did it.
Uh,
oh.
As you chuck some of the powder into the ghost,
uh,
and you hear him kind of scream,
uh,
and he like twists.
And as he twists his body,
his,
his body,
semi body,
which looked,
you know,
kind of green grayish,
but you can still see it suddenly becomes white and it's loses all form.
And it just starts twisting and writhing and,
uh,
heading your direction now.
what have I done?
Oh,
wow.
Yeah.
What have I done?
I don't,
I,
I'm walking backwards.
I'm a little freaked out.
Hey,
11.
I can only imagine squish is freaked out.
I,
yeah,
I want to look around for,
um,
like another door or if the,
the door that we came in is the only door available.
Well,
as you're looking around,
the ghost hits you square in the chest and it passes through you.
as it does.
So it hits you and kind of electrifies you quite a bit.
Congratulations.
You've just taken two,
uh,
two level to harm electric shock.
Um,
I did pick up when I was setting up the character.
I have tough as nails.
So that lowers at one level.
Oh,
it's,
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
uh,
it,
it's going after chuckles.
Oh,
okay.
Oh,
that's me.
Yeah.
You,
you threw it.
So it's coming at you and it hits you square in the chest.
It passes through you electrifying you.
Oh,
that was fucked up.
Yeah.
That happens sometimes.
I wouldn't have thrown it at him.
I was asking for help.
All you did was keep trying to drink potions.
I've got some too.
I found some alcohol.
I'm pretty good.
Well,
I'm,
I'm glad that's good for you.
Thank you for ghost expert for not helping us with the ghost.
You're welcome.
Well,
the ghost is definitely gone now.
Um,
and the room kind of just falls still.
Uh,
the cabinet door is still open.
The door is also open,
but for the most part,
there are no other ghosts in this room.
For the most part.
Is there any other doors aside from the one that we came in?
Uh,
there is,
there's one in the back,
but when you open it,
it just leads to like boxes and some general just supply closet.
What are we here to steal again?
I forgot.
A chest.
Is there a chest of the room?
There is not.
Can I look at the cabinet that the ghost came out of?
Sure.
See if there's anything in there.
So when you,
uh,
take a look at the cabinet,
their books on the shelves are all about the occult.
They're all about summoning and controlling demons.
Um,
there's one in there about how to be a vampire.
There's one in there about killing vampires.
There's one in there about creating the dead.
Are you raising the dead?
Um,
and then on the bottom shelf,
you see that there's a lot more,
uh,
gadgets there.
There's,
uh,
the ghost scourge that you recognize.
Again,
there's,
uh,
empty spirit bottles down there that you can use.
There's a vitality potion.
Um,
there's a little spirit lamp that can use to like repel ghosts.
Um,
so it's basically like an occultist,
uh,
weapons armory.
Oh,
so we've got to start.
Guys,
we're back in our game again.
I call those spirit bottles right there.
No,
I want the one that repels ghosts.
You can totally have that one.
You want the spirit lamp?
So that's going to be,
you can take the spirit lamp.
Uh,
it's one load though.
Okay.
Did you say vampires?
Did you say something about vampires?
Uh,
oh shit.
There's two bucks in there.
Um,
how to kill vampires.
Um,
that looks very old.
And then one in there.
I won't be needing that.
And I throw it,
I throw it over my shoulder.
And,
uh,
I know I said,
I won't be needing the one about killing vampires.
And I throw that.
And,
uh,
I picked,
I picked the one about becoming a vampire.
And,
uh,
I not so see,
like slyly put it into my jacket pocket.
All right.
That's going to be one load.
Yeah.
I'll take,
I'll take all the loads.
All right.
And then Brandon,
you said you're going to take two more spirit bottles.
Yeah.
Is that one more load?
Yeah.
That's one more load.
I don't know how to mark that on my shoes.
Uh,
there is.
So if you,
wait,
you're talking about your paper sheet.
Yeah.
but I was out of,
I don't know.
I don't know either.
Uh,
there's not,
um,
I don't think there could be like a,
a load.
It's actually open.
There isn't anything on here for book or documents.
Yeah.
It'll be under documents.
And then captain,
you're adding,
what did you add?
Two spirit bottles.
Spirit bottles.
Yeah.
I think two spirit bottles are one load.
Okay.
What else did you have?
Me?
Yeah.
I don't,
um,
on my list,
my items.
Yeah.
I have a fine lightning hook,
a spirit mask,
and then spirit bottles.
That's the one we just added,
right?
No,
I had spirit bottles already.
I had two already.
So you want more spirit?
Bottles?
I collect them.
Just the bottles?
No,
the ghosts that go in the bottles.
Then why didn't you help with the ghost that was just in here?
I tried.
He didn't want it attuned.
And,
you know,
I felt that was a little rude.
Why do I want a fucking scientist under my belt?
Well,
I'm glad we got more bottles.
Scientist ghost.
I got,
let me tell you,
you can't,
you know,
I'll just collect all ghosts.
I,
I'm a purveyor of fine,
spectral things.
You're a perv something.
Yeah,
no,
you see the Neelix there?
He took care of that really well.
He's a very good ghost.
Very good.
Then he fell asleep.
No,
he just gets,
you know,
he,
you know,
he had to abuse them.
All right.
From the side of the captain's,
you know,
from his side,
dangling from his belt,
there's a bottle there,
and you just kind of hear this,
like,
something underneath.
Oh,
knock it off.
I didn't get any ghosts.
You said there's a book about demons,
right?
Yes.
Is there a way I can,
like,
look through,
see if there's a way to,
like,
kill them?
Yeah,
go ahead and do a study of the book.
You am them.
Aren't you?
Or are you,
like,
part team?
I failed.
No,
I'm not.
It's like part team.
That's so strange that it says failure,
because that definitely isn't a failure.
No,
I don't have any in there,
so we take the one with the last.
Oh,
you're right.
You look through the book,
but it's written in a language you don't quite understand.
The symbols are all very cultish,
and it doesn't seem very clear to you,
anything that's in there.
But the pictures are pretty.
That is a pretty picture.
I show,
I show chuckles,
because I think he would laugh at it.
Yeah,
it's,
it's pretty.
It's a pretty sexy demon,
right?
Uh,
what?
No.
I mean,
for you.
I mean,
for everyone.
For everyone involved.
Um,
I,
I would like to take some of,
is there any of the Scourge left
that,
from the pot that I had?
Yeah.
Okay.
Can I take some?
There's probably like half a container.
Yeah.
So go ahead and just put it with the other Scourge that you have.
We'll say you have like,
you know,
two Scourge now.
Oh,
I was talking about that one.
I didn't realize that I had already grabbed some.
Yeah,
you can just grab that one.
All right.
It's,
I don't see it.
You might not.
It's like a,
it's a sample creation.
Uh,
so you might not have it.
All right.
I will.
All right.
If you have like,
it's like a bomb,
uh,
if that's one.
Were there any other doors in the hallway that led up to this room?
Uh,
there might be.
They're further down.
Not coming up to that door.
That's the only one you've seen so far.
Oh,
Um,
the hallway does continue down though.
I think we should continue on down the hallway.
All right.
Sounds good.
What happened to that,
that thumping?
Where was that from?
Oh,
I'm feeling good.
I'm feeling fine.
What?
Uh,
that was from Captain's,
uh,
spirit bottle.
Oh,
it was just the bottle.
Okay.
Yeah,
it was,
what,
what was his name?
Kneeler?
Neelix.
Ah,
I see.
I'm not going to learn it.
I never want to see that.
date again.
That's rude.
He's a nice butler.
He's a ghost.
Yes.
Well,
aren't we all one day?
Not me.
I'm never going to,
I'm never going to die.
Well,
good luck with that.
Well,
vampires don't really die too often.
Well,
I'm not a vampire.
Yet.
Oh,
you blew me up.
You blew up my,
my,
my punchline.
Oh,
you paused,
too long.
All right.
I'm still working on the timing.
Okay.
So are you,
you're leading up through the,
through the hallway?
Yeah,
I go back out.
I go back out the door to the hallway.
All right.
I follow.
All right.
As you go along the hallway,
you get towards,
you realize you're getting towards the end.
It's been very dark.
Not many rooms.
This seems like a pretty abandoned part of the school.
Um,
but in front of you,
there are two rooms.
There's one to the left,
one to the right.
You have pretty identical doors.
Uh,
they look like normal doors,
but again,
they are,
uh,
they are locked.
Um,
so you can do with,
as you want.
They're just plain wooden doors though.
Hey,
Tinker,
Tinker Chuckles.
Yes.
Chuckles Tinker.
Yeah,
that's me.
Can you open one of these?
Speaking.
Have you tried?
I'm just seeing if it's unlocked.
She said it was locked.
Oh,
did she?
Well,
I try to see if it's locked.
Okay.
Um,
so yes,
I would like to try,
which one,
which one am I unlocking?
Which one do you want unlocked?
Pick one.
The left one.
Me?
One without ghosts.
The left one.
I don't know.
Go,
ghost pirate,
which where's,
where's the ghosts?
Left one.
The ghosts are in there
or they're not in there?
No,
go to the left one.
Yeah,
but we want to be avoiding ghosts.
Why is this so complicated?
You ask which one I thought.
Go to the left one.
But I'm not sure you understood
what we were trying to say.
I don't care about ghosts.
It's fine.
Go to the left one.
Let's go to the right one.
All right.
I'm going to roll on the right one.
Ha.
Reverse psychology.
Success.
I do it.
Oh,
boy.
As you're rolling to the right one.
No token vision.
Uh,
you're not,
you just,
you just be happy
that you don't have token vision
right now.
It's,
um,
what if it's just really dark
in this room?
Oh,
oh,
oh my.
Squish just closes the door
really,
really quickly.
Oh,
Neelix.
I wish I had used you so quickly.
How's a buller going to help us?
What's he going to draw a bath?
I mean,
he's a ghost.
He might be able to,
you know,
detect other ghosts.
You guys look in the,
uh,
in the,
in the doorway
and you see this dark,
dark hall or dark room,
a hole,
basically.
Uh,
there is,
uh,
this grating in front.
It looks like a jail cell.
Uh,
the door is open.
Uh,
the jail cell is not locked
and you see the chest is inside
just past the jail cell.
Um,
you want to continue forward?
Yeah,
we picked the right door.
I knew it was the right one.
Yes.
Okay.
Well,
you guys,
as you guys.
Oh,
uh,
well,
it is a good time for,
uh,
a break.
Yeah,
I was wondering that
because it's like about nine.
So,
yeah.
Yeah.
All right,
cool.
All right.
Prepare your butts.
Oh,
no.
It's okay.
Sometimes you still freeze,
but I don't know if that's your camera or mine.
I don't know what exactly I can do.
Yeah,
I mean,
tuning allows you to see the ghost.
If you hadn't failed that,
I mean,
I wouldn't help you.
I don't know.
I'm just saying,
you know what I'm saying?
It's hard for me to play an expert.
But you're not really an expert
because you're like level zero.
I know.
I'm not caring.
Yeah.
It's hard to play that
or I don't want to care about me.
Well,
I guess.
I don't know if I'm a ghost.
As you'd ghost?
As you'd ghost.
Get it?
Yeah.
Yeah,
I see.
What?
No.
I'm going to see what was that.
I'm just kidding.
Oh,
good.
Oh,
cool.
It doesn't.
Okay.
No,
I'll get it.
I don't remember the screen.
Oh,
I don't know.
yeah you've gone down disappeared
okay
wow you're my chest
is that cereal
yep
holy crap that cereal is
overflowing
what's your joy
prepare your butts
Colin
what
you guys ready
you good
yeah
right
as you enter the
the room
you see this cell
in front of you
and a voice calls out
from the darkness
and he goes
oh
visitors
how nice
and he's a very
calm
even
evil
even voice
uh
but you all
kind of get
the
sickening feeling
in your stomach
and this heavy
presence
you guys can come in
if you want
it says
um
can i do
can i do a flashback
flashback
yeah
okay
yeah i want to do a flashback
to when we were on the boat
yeah
leading up to it
and there was like this uh
this metal rod
that was on the boat
you know like a
like a tire iron
kind of thing
and i
i wanted to take that
as like a makeshift weapon
okay
and you'll see what i'm gonna do with it
all right
so uh
he uh
the creature
suddenly makes himself visible
and you realize he is
definitely a demon
uh
he
he has gray skin
these dark red eyes
a mouth full of sweaty
gross teeth
did you see sweaty
yeah they're definitely dripping
and
he's smiling
and as he talks
he realizes
he doesn't really move his mouth
but it's definitely him
that's creepy
that's extra scary
oh
did it get hot in here
uh
it's enough to make my teeth sweat
uh
this isn't where i park my ship
excuse me
he kind of just
takes you guys in
uh
and he is
standing in front of the war chest
you can see very clearly
it is a
uh
heavy metal chest
with several bands on it
a very thick
powerful looking
uh
clock on it
uh
or clock
uh
as he walks us in
i would like to put that metal bar
like
in the path of the door
so the door doesn't slam shut
and locks in
okay
it's just been blocked in there
um
as you guys kind of step forward
you feel this big heavy presence
kind of just push you equally back
he says
sorry boys
i got a job to do
a what
what's your job
my job
is to keep
this chest safe
uh
that's why they
bound me to it
many
months ago

i can't let you in
i
you know how it is for us
i mean we've been hired to
get that chest
so
i mean i guess we're at a standstill
we are
all right
he kind of stares at you
and he uh
his eyes narrow
just the tiniest little bit
then they whine
and he smiles
even better
and he goes
i have an option for you
if you boys
help me
get out of this
i'll uh
i'll give you the chest

little child to eat

could be
stuck somewhere else

want to perform
you know
a little ritual
that would
bind you three
to me
forever
uh
we could do that
and i could give you the chest
wait so then you'd
follow us around
all the time
oh i'm sorry
you'd be bound to me
what are you gonna do
then
i mean what does a demon do

do you
that's not part of the deal
it is a little bit
this demon's a shifty one
oh

i don't like that deal
at all
yeah can't we just feed you
a couple cats
like elf

i draw my sword
i'm getting ready
i'm getting tired of this
this demon
give us a chest
are you commanding him
like trying to intimidate him
yeah
throw
throw command
all right
command
where's that
command
roll
oh
he just laughs
at you
pushes you
why does it keep happening
when i try to do something cool
you hit the
the cell
kind of behind you
you hit the tire iron
that's been left there
oh
uh
what damage do you have now
me
yeah
uh
i have uh
two mental
shots
and two mental
shots
do you have love you have a
level two right
level two
yeah
you have two level
two right
oh
i put him down as level
one but
i don't really know
take over two bruised ribs
you're gonna bruise your ribs
when you do that
oh
it hits you
and you're
can feel something
kind of crunch
not quite break
but you definitely have
the wind knocked out of you
oh
it auto corrected
bruised ribs
to bruised rubs
no i typed that in
don't waste my time again
uh
and then i say
okay
and
i would like to do something sneaky
okay
i want
i want to pull out
of
my pocket
the ghost scourge
and
blow it into his eyes
i think that was
i think that would be
finesse
so uh
do you have a finesse
uh
i
yes i have one in finesse
actually
go ahead and roll it
wait why don't you
now run
oh
i was gonna say
yeah you're right
i should have
i should have stressed
yeah you should have
pushed yourself
uh
you blow
it into his face
pocket
and he's
screaming
this unholy
sort of
scream
um
as you do so
i don't know if you guys can see this clock up here
yeah
he um
he yowls
in pain
uh
oops
he has taken
two out of eight damage
he stumbles back
behind the uh
back further
into the cell
and he's blinded
he's kind of just like
ah
quick
up the chest
pocket sand
uh
when he's stumbling
i'm gonna throw
one of my knives at him
go ahead and uh
skirmish
oh no wait
that's from a distance
i'm sorry
hunt
oh yeah
you are
i don't have any
hunt
that seems
not right
i thought
you were given two already
as a hound
yeah you should have two to start with
oh yeah
no it just
says the modifier
oh
that's the modifier
okay
nevermind
uh
you throw one of the knives at him
uh
do you
wait
well it shouldn't be a failure though
it should be a four
yeah i'm not quite
i don't
trust that thing
no because
your
your thing doesn't have
you didn't put anything in your character sheet
oh i didn't even know
yeah i didn't
i didn't set up your character
i set up mine
oh
okay
and
booze
is set up too
but yours is not
so i just added
hound
but it didn't add any of the dots
oh
you should probably put them in and then roll
roll again if that's all right bridget
yeah no for sure
or i'll just take the four
which is partial success
oh is that what would have happened anyway
yeah
are you throwing one knife or multiple at him
uh just one
because i want to see if it does any damage
you
managed to throw
the knife at it
and because it is made
of such a fine level of steel
it actually has
silver engravings on it
because it was from this fancy kitchen
it burns through him
and he his
but it definitely doesn't hit like a core body part
it hits like his shoulder
and he just kind of
ugh
background
kind of winces
as he backs up a little bit further
he is going to take
one stress
but in the retaliation
he pushes
this like dark force
and hits you as well
and you take another stress
oh i can mark that
stress
yeah you figure out
how to do the stress annie
yeah
he kind of
um
you know like stumbling up now
and he's sort of writing himself
and now he's like looking at the three of you
and things have just gotten serious
because he's not smiling anymore
yep uh
we're not going to be able to charm our way out of this
anymore
how close can we get to the chest
without him like
attacking us
do we knock him away from it
with all those attacks
he's behind the table right now
but just behind it
if you reached and tried to grab it
he would definitely be able to grab you
oh crap
well we don't want that to happen
use one of your bottles
it only works on gold
put him in a bottle
put him in a body bag
yeah
you definitely could try to put him in a bottle
uh but you need something to like reach him with
like a stick
like a tire iron
yeah
or
like the lightning hooks you have on you
oh
so i can make him go into my bottle
you gotta catch him
yeah
you would have to use uh
you have to try to like
grab him with a lightning hook
well shit
why don't you say so
put me in
all right
it's gonna be uh
cause it's from a distance
it's gonna be a hunt
uh you need to be able to kind of
latch onto him
from a
from far away
all right
roll hunt
i hate it
you uh
you try to uh
grab onto him
um but you're just a little too far away
and you miss it
as you miss you kind of stumble forward
and when you look up
he's right in front of you
oh hello
uh
towering over you
and you can feel the kind of like
dripping saliva
from his sweaty teeth
just kind of like
drip drip drip on you
all right
check those you were close to him
go for the chest
oh
all right
i i have a
i have a
so maybe a meta question
uh
i
and
just brainstorming
i have
i have wreck
i would like to do a wreck
uh
but what
what could i
oh
maybe there's a list of things that
qualify as wreck
with wreck
it's basically just going in and destroying shit
so you're just kind of going in
smashing and grabbing
so can i try
is
is there something i could do
like
would
would to be like
drop kick or like spear him
like doing something like a wild card
type just like jumping at him
you could like
you could like try tipping over the table
or grabbing the tire iron
and just like tossing it straight at him
um
anything that kind of would just cause a lot of destruction
okay so
he's
on the other side of the table
and
the chest is on the table
or the chest is in front of the table
the chest is on the table
okay
he's behind it
he's over in front of it
uh
the captain is kind of falling over
and he's like
between like the table and the ghost
or right in the
between
like around that area
all right
so he's very
i am
gonna try to just mix it up
and flip the table
okay
let's throw some wreck
yeah
all right
uh
should i change this at all
i guess it's
is it desperate
yeah let's
since it's a desperate maneuver
it's just trying to do anything
uh
yeah let's make it a
desperate maneuver
all right
still pretty risky
yeah
desperate yeah
and standard
uh oh
uh
you toss
the chest
the
the chest
goes onto one end of the room
uh
kind of bounces off the wall
uh
you throw the table
but it doesn't really
do anything
and now you are also
right in front of him
uh
and you can kind of feel
his like power
kind of like
pushing against you
uh
and it's starting to cause
some heart palpitations
as well
so you're gonna take
a level two shot
because you're staring up
into his drippy mouth
uh
two shock
or two stress
yeah
oh two stress
okay
sorry
two stress
am i laying next
to the captain
you're kind of like
over in the same area
with him
i don't think you're like
laying down on top of him
but yeah
you guys are both
kind of
in front of him
so
he's standing behind you
the table's now
been cast to the side
you two are in front of him
and squish is still
uh
against the wall
or further back
um
i'm gonna throw my
my second knife at him
all right
go ahead
skirmish him
or no i'm sorry
hunt
i don't know why
i keep saying skirmish
uh
skirmish him
do
if i
i push myself
i take two more stress
right
yes
and then you can
do that
okay
um
yeah i'm gonna push myself
for another
unless if
someone wants to help me
i'm on
i would like to help you
but i forgot what you're doing
throwing a knife
oh i can't help you
throw a knife
you can distract him
i tried that already
uh
yeah
you can uh
how do you want to
how do you want to help him
do you want to distract him
well
is that what you said
the captain made
made a noise
who's got the least
amount of stress
uh
probably
probably me
i don't know
no
captain
captain does
okay
whoever wants to distract him
would just do like
a finesse roll
and we'd see how well
that would do
and if it did well
then we give andy
an extra boost
i'm finessing it
hey
partial success
the demon
pushes his gaze
onto you
and again
you kind of feel that
like intense stress
um
you're gonna give
and or uh
squish an extra roll
an extra die
to roll
so so if you're
giving yourself
stress
plus
brandon helped you
you would add two
to whatever
uh
your finesse roll
or your um
hunt roll is
okay
i'm gonna do that
oh jesus
that's a lot of dice
you hit him again
um
and again
he like screams
and he rears back
because you throw
one of these kitchen knives
with the silver engraved
uh
and handle
engraved handle on it
uh
he takes an additional
back one
to stress
um
and as you notice
he's starting to kind of
leak this like
fluid
gaseous
sort of material
off of him
as he's hunched over
uh
the knife
and he went through
a vital organ
is it plasma
yeah
it's
plasma
oozing
plasma
all right guys
i'm out of knives
oh
uh
okay
noted
i'm still
fucked over here
do you need
anything
you need
a lock
pick
no i
think you
should
are there any
ghosts in the
room or
naval
situations
i have
you could attune
and see if there's
any in the room
oh i'm attuning
i don't know
what else to do
attuning
tuned
uh
you attune
to the
kind of
stick your
hand out
there
and suddenly
you become
aware of all
these bodies
pressing against
you
uh
they are
the
sacrifices
of
ixos
or the
demon
you realize
that the
demon
upstairs
this is
him
the one
where everyone
was being
sacrificed
to
and all
these
people who
have died
over the
years
in service
to him
uh
to keep
him
around
suddenly
are in
the room
with you
uh
this crush
of like
spirit
bodies
are kind
of pushing
against him
and against
you
uh
and he's
starting to
panic
because he's
being suffocated
as much
as you are
uh
because you
are kind
of being
touched
by this
feeling
just you
captain
because you're
the only
one attuning
to it
uh
so take
one
one stress
two hops this
time
crisscross
is there
a reason
you can
tell the
the ghost
to attack
them
i mean
he's
is he
kind of
isn't he
kind of
aren't they
kind of
holding him
in place
while they
you know
so while
that happens
why don't
one of you
take the
chest
would
is there
any advantage
to trying
to open
i'm just
gonna do it
i would like
to try and
open the
chest
okay
go ahead
and rush
through it
and roll
uh this
is gonna
be a
uh
desperate
roll and
it's also
gonna have
kind of have
a great
effect if
you can
do it
okay
so it's
gonna be
tinker
let me make
sure i'm
highlighted
all right
yes i would
like to
so as
so the
ghosts are
pushing the
demon back a
little bit
yes okay
so in
that in
that opening
then i rush
over to
the chest
and i start
just furiously
um working
on it
and no
modifier
though
um are you
using your
special tools
oh
or have you
no
uh i
used my
i think i
used my
burglary
gear to
get in
the place
but i
still have
tinkering
tools
uh if you
use the
tinkering
tools give
yourself an
extra
modifier
okay
and can
i stress
myself
sure
okay
yeah so
give yourself
like an
advantage
that was
close
oh my
god
all right
so you're
going to
so as you
rush over
there to
open it
you're kind
of furiously
tinkering
with it
and uh
you manage
to kind
of just
crack it
open a
little bit
you can
kind of
see that
there's a
money bag
inside you
kind of
jiggle it
and you can
hear the
money inside
but it
doesn't quite
open all
the way
yet
no
it's not
quite open
yet i think
i'm gonna need
a little bit
more time if
i'm gonna get
this thing
open is there
anything else
that we can
do
hurry
i'm gonna
run pick
up the uh
the tire iron
and swing
at him
did we mention
it's made of
silver
flashback on
that flashback
this boat had
a silver
crowbar in it
it's definitely
not silver
uh but you do
because you are
getting kind of
close to him
that's gonna be
more of a
skirmishing uh
rule
okay
i think
oh i got
zero
in skirmish
i'm sure it'll
be fine
wait
are you
getting
oh
made what
i was gonna
say is there
any chance
of an
assist
or
no i mean
we're getting
pretty high on
the stress
yeah i guess
so
not the captain
you throw
the
at him
and it
just passes
through him
like nothing
and he
although there's
a little crush
of ghosts that
are kind of
reaching and
grabbing at
him and
weakening him
slowly he turns
his attention
back to you
uh to
squish
uh oh
captain you
want to try
something
am i still
being squished
by ghosts
you're you're
feeling their
presence but
they're more
focused on the
demon all
right can i do
anything with
those or
whatever because
i'm attuned to
them you can
definitely try to
like command them
yeah i want to
compel them
that's a special
ability i have i
can attune to
the ghost field
and obey and
they make them
obey my command
damn right
that's the one
you're picking
though yeah
as opposed to
what you only
get to pick one
special ability
forever
yeah okay
okay
that was what
i was always
because you're
using your
special ability
you're gonna
use an extra
roll an extra
dice and then
uh whatever is
on top of that
command roll
so command and
then what do i
do plus one on
the modifier
plus one on the
modifier
not minus one
doesn't make any
sense
and roll
oh no
dude what the
fuck
they uh
demon the
ghost stop
squishing the
demon and they
start turning their
attention back to
you and kind of
coming back to you
and it's like
pulling on you and
scratching on you
uh you're definitely
gonna take uh
another stride
cool
i mean thankfully
you don't have a
lot of stress
no i just i've
i've literally
failed every single
die roll i've made
this game it's
gonna get
in the
way
hey charles andrew
you still have
that uh that
scourge right
i think i blew it
into his face
yeah but you had
two of them
i don't really know
how many i had
i i thought i
used one i used
one on the
the the
scientist ghost
and then i put
one back and
then i took one
other one
oh
that i don't
know that was
my understanding
uh someone
took a spirit
lamp who took
that one
i did
can i pull
that out
yeah
it's this
beam uh
lamp that's
kind of like an
old-fashioned
oil lamp and
when you pull
it out it
suddenly glows
this kind of
yellowish light
and all of the
ghosts which
are now have
been so far
invisible to
squish and
to chuckles
or it's
charzander
sorry uh
is finally uh
charles
ander
uh
suddenly there
you can see
them
been able to
you see them
now you see
all these ghostly
pale faces
and they just
disappear out of
the room
gone um and
you see uh
the demon in the
back it's holding
up his hand to
the light and
it's just like
oh and he
just can't
quite can't
even look at
it
well that solves
two of my
problems
you still
got one big
one with red
eyes and
sweating teeth
hey captain
yes
hit him with
your lightning
hook
okay
i'll hold
this lamp
still
is that hunt
again
that's gonna
be uh
well you're
pretty close
to him
um so it
might be a
more of a
skirmish uh
because you're
you you're pretty
close you don't
really have to go
from a distance
uh but since you
have the extra
light to go
ahead and give
yourself an
extra die
and aim for
his teeth
they're wet
yeah i mean
you're the same
hunt and skirmish
is still is
still zero
you should be
rolling at least
uh three
two
oh three
two and then
another one because
you're well i guess
it would just be the
best of two
i don't know i
added the modifier
of one die
oh that's hunt
hold on let me try
the other one
skirmish
one die
and then nothing
else right just
that
yeah
you might not
write it
add it and
should i add
two die
no it's gonna
be because you
had zero so
instead of rolling
two then you're
just rolling one
yeah you just
roll one
if you had two
bonus then you
would be rolling
two
okay
yeah that's
true
uh
you you reach
for him but
you kind of
you just miss
again um
and you're
kind of dazed
at this point
so you just
kind of you
know fall
against the
wall you're
not drunk or
anything you're
not dead or
anything but
you're definitely
wounded and
kind of breathing
heavily
i'm a hulk
uh i want to
throw the uh
tire iron to
to chuckles to
use his leverage
to pry open the
chest i'm hoping
that like the
chest if it
opens he goes
away because he
failed
it's uh it's
a it's a good
it's a good
theory i know
nothing about the
supernatural but i
will take your
crowbar
yeah so you go
ahead and hand
him hand him the
crowbar and then
uh yeah chuckles
what do you do
with it
uh i wave it in
triumph and then
uh jam it in the
space because you
said it did open a
little bit
right it's
definitely crack
and i'd like to
like put some
pressure on like
opening it while
i am like doing
lock picking stuff
on the lock
itself
okay go ahead
and again throw
the tinker one and
then uh you know
throw in an
additional one
because you've
already busted
it and should i
change position or
effect
um i would say
it's less
there's risky and
desperate and then
what's the other one
on there
controlled it's
definitely not
controlled
yeah i would say
it's still pretty
risky
okay um
yeah
all right
yeah
wait no i was
rolling for the
captain
oh
why'd you do
that
uh just
because i was
clicking on your
sheet so i can
roll for anyone
since i'm uh
a gm so
it's plus one
it's still risky
yeah risky
standard
all right
critical success
you crack open
uh the chest
and you see inside
there is a hefty
bag of money
it's in a velvet
bag
uh
i
so is
that that's all
that i can see
in there
that's all there
is in there
okay so i
started jamming
the money
into my
pockets
why don't you
just take the
bag
well i i don't
know it's just a
little bit more
cinematic to like
grab and start
stuffing him and
stuffing it into
my pockets and
like some dollars
are coming out or
whatever it is
and i was like
okay now let's
get out of here
agreed yes
run i hobble
away i am really
beat up
emotionally or
physically
uh both
spiritually
oh i forgot
i always forget
about the spiritual
in this world
all right
so you guys start
bolting down
the uh
down the uh
hallway again
uh you're all
you're all
you're running
well i want to
make sure i close
the cage behind
us
okay uh
i don't think
it's gonna stop
a demon but
definitely might
slow him down
especially as weak
as he is
um yeah you
so you guys
all you
start piling out
of the room
squish goes
behind and he
locks the door
and make or
shuts the door
behind him
um you guys
start running
but you get
about halfway
down the hall
when you hear
this cry
the door
pound open
and you turn
and you see
the demon is
still standing
there still
behind you but
at a much
greater distance
now
don't look back
just keep running
terrifying
fucking demons
why couldn't
you be a ghost
as you guys
start running
you guys start
running back
the way that
you came
um you suddenly
realize uh
two main
things one uh
the hallway
actually had slopes
both upwards
back towards you
came and to
the side
downwards and as
it slopes
downwards you guys
can faintly hear
some laughing waves
and you realize
that the canals
lead underneath
uh the uh
school as well
but standing
on the stairs
that you guys
need to go up
you need to
at least get
near um
is a figure
standing there
is it is it
is it a plump
figure
in glasses
with the scimitar
drawn
no but that
would have been
a great idea
you can always
change it
i hope it's a
cat
hold on
sorry my
discord
just
you see a
handsome
figure
standing there
oh
handsome
well
dark hair
and he pulls
out he does
have a sword
and he thought
i have found
you you think
you're the only
one to know
how to wear the
sword around
here
none of us
have a sword
i do
oh
it's a rapier
the man is
very tall
he's very
dressed in fine
celts but you
really can't notice
that because there's
a demon right
behind you all he
you know is that
he has a sword
pointed at you and
he's on the stairs
and he uh he's
blocking you from
getting up
oh so we're
stuck between a
demon and a
hunk
can we go
towards the
canal
uh you can but
you are gonna get
within swinging
distance of the
new this new
man
so we can jump
into the water
can i pull my
sword and fight
him for a second
uh sure it'll be
uh well it's
sword fighting it'll
be finesse
finesse
you do have
finesse don't
you i think you
do
no yeah you
have one finesse
i don't have that
on my character
sheet oh how
did it get on
here i actually
don't know what
happened i don't i
didn't make i don't
think i made this
one no we did
right before we
started but did
you put finesse
down for me no
you definitely should
not have a finesse
oh it just
disappeared
i shouldn't say
anything all
right i'm sure
this will go
great
yeah it's been
statistically very
well for me
tonight so i
all all wounded
i i run into
like
like i am
oh it has been
a rough night i
am definitely uh
not on my game
tonight and
and partial
success somehow
how'd i get to
as you uh hit
him with your
sword you kind
of catch him
off guard because
you're stumbling
at him and he's
just kind of like
what and as you
hit him he
backs off
slightly um
and at this
point too he
now sees the
demon behind
you and he
kind of makes
eye contact with
it and he's
like what
what the hell
is that what
have you done
what do you
think it is it's
a goddamn
demon
here enjoy
i kick him
towards the
demon
it's not me
no that's a
good one
he's one of
the good
ones
squish the
good demon
did you say
you push him
towards the
demon
yeah
all right
well you push
him towards the
demon and he
stumbles for a
second um and
he is about to
turn tail and
head up back up
the stairs
uh what do
you guys do
i go towards the
canal
i'm running
i follow i guess
i threw i
my glass gambit
was throwing that
that weirdo into
that into the
demon that was my
that was my
gambit
the handsome
weirdo
thing was a
weirdo
well you guys
go back down
the canals and
as you start
running um you're
going down these
canals and there's
sidewalks on either
side of it and
water flowing in
between it but you
guys can run along
the canal and you
take a left and you
start running back
towards where you
guys came from um
and you see your
boat is still
sitting there
unattended uh
and uh
what happened to
the dude
tire ironless
how will we ever
change the tires on
this boat
so if we don't get
a flat
what happened to the
dude do we know
or is it just
just all you know
is that the last
thing you saw as you
guys booked it out
of there is this
demon coming face to
face with this
mysterious swordsman
don't forget handsome
he is very handsome
let's get out the boat
and get out of here
yeah
hey did you guys see
how I succeeded in
that finessed
sword flow
I saw
I saw you
fed that tall
dark handsome
man to the demon
you know
good idea right
I
it was a bit
violent
boys I gotta be
honest with you
I've been out of the
game a while
I'm sure you noticed
that I didn't do
very well tonight
no I didn't notice
this pirate's gotta
get his groove back
is that groove at the
bottom of a bottle
I thought if I
you know I didn't
think we'd fight a
demon
we knew we'd fight a
demon
yeah did you listen to
pissy pants templeton at
all
no
I don't listen to
children
or ghosts
they don't listen to you
either
all they do is tell
lies and make up
stories
about demons
apparently
he did not lie
or make that up
yeah
he certainly
didn't
he certainly
didn't help us
yeah
what
if it weren't for
templeton we'd
still be like
crawling around on
the roof
I mean we would
have made our way to
the basement eventually
x marks the spot
that's where you go
the floor
the ground
yeah the problem
is eventually
oh you're a fun lad
I like you
you've got a funny hat
this is very
very in style
I am very
very very
drunk
and beaten up
and discouraged
let me tell you
whoo
I gotta have my
butler tonight
or else I would
have looked like
quite the fool
yeah
the butler
saved you from that
the butler did it
what
oh
where are we going
I don't know
that's a good question
the boat
have been arguing
in your boat
where are you gonna go
we're just zooming away
we gotta go see
what's his face
I don't remember his name
Basler
yeah
Basila
you wanna head back
yeah we should go
go see him
or we could just
keep the coins
and get them
after us
yeah I already have
one half of the town
after us
I don't think we need
the other half
I mean I don't know
if one demon
is half the town
well aren't they
gonna come after
the gold that we stole
it's not just the demon
it's a demon
and a very handsome
swordsman
I feel like it's a
fair fair trade
do you think
they're gonna team up
the demon and the
swordsman
sounds like a
fucking
book
my worst
anyway
my worst enemy
anyway continue
so you guys
wanna go back to
Baz's
yes
okay I just
wanna confirm
you don't have to
you could choose
to keep the money
no we're honorable
oh wait hold on
that's not his
that's well I mean
lamp
that's the
oh
yeah that's where
he lives
hold on
what's the guy's
name from I'm
trying to think
the guy from
Austin Powers
his name was like
Baz
Bazel
Bazel Expedition
Exposition
oh
I get it now
I've been calling
him Bazel
Expedition
it never made
any sense
Bazel
Expedition
yeah
is that even a
word
Expedition
it's a car
it's definitely
a word
I think it's
like an
adventure
E-X-E-P-T-I-O
not even close
Hank
yeah
okay
cool
the Expedition
Bazel
Expedition
that's what we're
calling this guy
now
Bazel
Expedition
I have spoken
Bazel is there
I'll put his
picture back in
the chat
so you guys
can see him
he's there
and he's
he's not
not angry
to see you
he kind of
sits on the
other side
of his desk
and he says
so
you're not
dead
huh
almost
not only are we
not dead
but my pockets
are full
I am
fucked
well lay it
out
let me see
it
and
I start
showing him
all my wounds
I meant
the coins
buddy
oh
I emptied
my pockets
onto the
table
and along
with some
coins
some other
sort of
embarrassing
things pop
out
like what
oh they're
mostly
like
a book on
how to become
a vampire
yes and
paper clips
cute
I wouldn't
say
well
he takes
the
12 coins
and he
kind of
holds
it in
his
hand
and
he
counts
out
four
of
them
and he
hands
it
back to
you
and he
goes
this is
your share
that was
the promise
we almost
died
well
it's not
my fault
I told you
it might be
dangerous
did you
tell us
there's a
goddamn
demon
down there
I knew
they were
just some
weird shit
I told you
they were
some nasty
people
that's why
we need
them out of
crow's foot
look I'm
proud of
you boys
you guys
did me
solid
you did
a real
good favor
for me
they're
probably
going to
be pissed
at you
and that
demon
might come
back to
bite you
in the
ass
but you
know
I heard
rumors
people just
disappeared
I don't
know
I mean
what do
you want
me to
tell you
everything
well
I'm beginning
to think you
weren't on our
side and you
were only thinking
about the money
look I'll make
it up to you
how about that
that that
would be
cool
is it more
money
you guys
real solid
I'd like to
use you again
in the future
I don't like
that choice of
words
real estate's
tough in the
city right now
how would you
guys how would
you guys like a
place to live
what kind of
a place are we
talking about
I can't promise
you anything nice
it's it's
crow's foot
you know
it's it's the
shithole that it
is but I
mean it
definitely has a
roof and it
has more than
two walls and
it's got a nice
river view through
the floor
what the you
can see through
the floor
part of it
how would you
like your own
junk fort
did you say
junk fort
I'll take
it
wait I
think we
should discuss
this
no I'm
tired I need
to sleep
all right I
was excited
about the junk
fort
you were
I don't know
why you want to
argue about it
I don't know I
wanted to milk
milk some more
drama what's the
rent situation on
this are you just
giving it to us
listen I can't
give this shit
away
you know it's
it's my thanks
to you and if I
ever need you I
know where you're
at and if you
ever try to run I
know where to burn
down all your
stuff
all right that's a
tough sell
I'm tired
if a demon comes
knocking on your
door you don't
know where we
are
yes
oh I'm sure I
definitely wouldn't
know
he won't yeah
they can't go up
right demons
above water
yeah
I don't I
don't think that's
where their
disadvantage is up
they do not take
commercial airfare
yeah
you should see
them on escalators
it's a real mess
all right
well that's
the end of the
score so now
at this point
well not tonight
but you guys move
into your downtime
activities
you get to have a
little rest a
couple things you
guys can do if
you want to heal
your your wounds
you can go seek
out a healer
if you want to
reduce your
stress you can
go do that
and some of
your vices
oh tiger
that's tiger
sorry squish
chuckles I
still need your
advice what it
is that you
you like to do
in your off
time
oh I like to
binge eat
but it's like
okay it's
stuff that's just
really terrible for
you and isn't
even really food
wow
like that's the cat
food
have I mentioned
that I liked
cat food
yeah I mean
not like paper
like I won't eat
paper I'm not an
animal but I
will eat other
things that animals
eat
paper clips
apparently
no I don't
eat the
paper clips
but I use
the paper clips
to get
food
from
cans
I am really
interested to see
how you do
that one
it's it's a
whole tinkering
mess
it's
do all
takers do
this or
just you
I well
the good
ones
but
so when
we start
when we do
the downtime
will that be
together or
should we just
come with like a
summary of what
we did in our
in our downtime
no that's
definitely something
you can play
through
it's just
one of those
things you might
want to come in
with an idea of
what you'd like
to do
you can also
do like if
you have a
long-term
project you
want to start
on you can
do that too
like if you
want to become
a vampire sure
or whatever it
is that you want
to do but
yeah just come
up with a few
ideas of what
you'd like to
do I'll have
some plans and
then go from
there
yeah just come in
