Introduction and Cassie's Absence
00:00:24
Speaker
OK, the long awaited episode has begun. Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, ladies, gentlemen, not binary folks of the universe. none No, no, no, no. This is world players and record. bre to brewer What are we doing? Episode nine, I think of the Phony Express. We've got Justin and Adrian here. ah Luckily for us, all of our party is currently split up. Cass currently lives out in the lands where wildfires are raging. And so for her own safety, because she lives in a small place and the computers generate a lot of heat. We respectfully allowed for her to be safer and get ready to evacuate if she needs to was want while the wildfires are spreading and Justin demanded it. But I said, you know, maybe.
00:01:04
Speaker
You know, the rain or shine or fire were here for the people. Yeah, we did say that would be. Yeah. All 10 of you that listen from the beginning. We appreciate you. But Cassie will be back next time. And in the meantime, you know, we're all split up anyway. So we'll just assume she's doing some goofy shit and do that and then go into, you know, her vacation home or something. We'll explore that whenever she can find out later.
Recap of Cutter's Adventure
00:01:27
Speaker
But what happened last time? Last time, Cutter was like, oh I'm going to Winchester for you. And he was like, what the fuck? And then he and then he was there. And then he met the, he he talked to a lady who was like hurt and he was like demons. And she goes, yeah, demons, Bethy. And he goes, demon, Bethy? That's crazy. And then ah the sheriff was like, oh, I'll call somebody for you. And then he went and met Sam and Dean over at the church. And then they got pissed. And then that was something that happened in the episode before last, but then it was just good for recapping.
00:01:50
Speaker
And then they went up to this really scary house is like oh shit there's spooky things and colors like i'm in a no mood for your actor a bullshit just bunch of people in costumes any threaten people with guns and it's not fuck okay dude chill. And then he discovered when he finally got there and he saw the demon is like oh i must say that the it was a person in a way and pw a k a pam was also there is like i'm just playing a role i got paid money to do this is like are you suck. um And then I forget what Cutter did to piss them off where he was like, well, I'm going to go do something. And then, oh, no, they're
Cutter's Confrontation and Knockout
00:02:25
Speaker
supposed to. take
00:02:26
Speaker
They swung on them and they kept yelling. We're not supposed to kill you, but we'll fuck you up. And then Dean tackled Kutter real good. And he was like, oh, no, my ribs. um And then they were kind of fighting. And then Kutter goes, hey, hey, help people who work in the scare house. And then they all came and they did help, but they helped Dean and Sam with. I called the sheriff hoping he would hear me, but. Oh, yeah, you did call out, but nobody
Maverick's Thunderbird Misadventure
00:02:48
Speaker
came. But the people who worked there and then they all came. subdue him and then Bella walked in and was like Paul stone cold Falcon paunch knocked out cutter and he was like BAM to black And that was how that episode ended and then on the other side of not the other side But south of there to freedom hollow we had maverick and he was out like oh Where's my bet and they were like what bird and he's like my bet and like oh over there the Thunderbird Is that you he goes? Yeah, that's my bet and then the great a deer impression
00:03:24
Speaker
and um Next time you do adrian presson please don't compliment yourself again as adrian it's like oh my god yeah i was a yeah sorry i was just like i was just so caught up in my own performance. um So yeah, what happened then? Whoa, you're not going to believe it. There was a Thunderbird and there was a guy and he was all like, step right up. Don't be shy. And Maverick was like, Ooh, I want to get him. And then he met like an animal rights activist. It was like, yo, dog, I'll totally help you fucking like knock that shit over. And he goes, Oh yeah, dog, let's do it. And so they run up there and go, yeah. And then he started fighting and then the the cage gets knocked over and Maverick's all like pee, pee, pee. When he shoots a foot, he goes, what the fuck would you shoot me for? And then he dies. And then.
00:04:01
Speaker
ah He takes out another fella and they chase after the guy who picks up is she's caged and runs off into the crowd is who i get you and they try to hop the fence to get to his horse in the stable and maverick shot his knee out and he's like a fuck and then he passed out after saying something along the lines of like. I was supposed to be like this is supposed to be firing blanks and stuff is like we may find blanks to go so this is just all an act is what are you talking about many past out cuz maverick shattered his knee. I'm with a gun bullet which is a dangerous thing to happen to you and then he took ishi out of the cage and it was just a taxidermized raven painted gold and had a little talkie box on it that was broken that said pecker pecker and then after a short pause maverick went.
00:04:45
Speaker
damn it and that's where we left him. So, did I miss anything? Aside from what happened to Rin, which I don't remember. What the fuck about right now? Yeah, she ain't even here. We'll talk about that next time. Multiple bowls. Multiple
Ren's Transformation and Future
00:05:00
Speaker
bowls. That's all she cared about. She's like, yeah, bub, I better go get you a nice bowl and not drugs for myself, okay? She's like, okay, dear, you go ahead. um I mean, I won't really be concerned about that, but it has has happened multiple times in the past. I guess Justin has been doing all kinds of stupid shit and in the end kind of like saved us. She's on her own little side questions like, oh yeah, I have to go do things now. Yeah. So we'll get to that. But yeah, also she was put into a teenage body, an older teen. She's not Finn anymore. She's Ren now.
00:05:35
Speaker
um And she's just hanging out with her mom. And we'll discuss more of that whenever we can get Cass back on the show. um But all right, so Adrian and Justin, please roll your highest that's me dice roll. What take your dice, whatever, whatever stat has the highest high. That's a high. That's the highest days I can roll. Well, I don't know. I mean, on a stat, whatever stat you have for the highest attribute, I got a 12 highest skill rate, your highest skill or attribute, either one it doesn't matter. You're you're fucked. age I got on 12 on my fighting.
00:06:11
Speaker
Why do you have the 100? He said roll the highest dice. I didn't listen to anything else. Crowder roll to seven, so that means we're going to go to Crowder first. I'm asking if we do Maverick first and go some suspense, but OK. All right, we'll go to Maverick first. Oh, man, I'm on board, though. What's OK, Justin?
Maverick's Sleuthing in Freedom Hollow
00:06:29
Speaker
I'll have you play other characters in town where Maverick is. i but ah I'm asleep. Let me know. what I'm going to listen. All right, Maverick, we're going to go to you first. We're doing we're doing call of Cthulhu rules. We're lowest roles better. um So Maverick, you're in Freedom Hollow. You just retrieved what you thought was Ishii from a cage. Oh, man. That's not Ishii. You say damn it. You shot a bunch of people. There's still chaos in the crowd. What do you do? I throw away the bird and throw away the bird.
00:07:05
Speaker
I mean, it's not it's not on a live bird, so I shut right away. You're going to throw away someone's hard work of taxidermy. Yes, because I'm pissed. All right. You throw the you throw the bird away and it lands somewhere. And then a kid goes, oh, it's a dead bird, Bobby. And then you see a kid running and screaming in the streets. You traumatize the child. Great. Now what do you do? Now I like go towards my own horse. You go towards your own horse? Yes. what What do you say to your own horse? um Hello, my own horse. I am in need of your service.
00:07:44
Speaker
Hello, my own horse. good
00:07:48
Speaker
Hello, my own horse. Okay. The horse says, yeah, the horse says, yeah, Bals, what do you want to do, Bals? I got a troll to Daltown because if this was I like trap, then over what cutter is was probably also a trap. So either he got caught or he didn't get caught and like runs to dolt or no. How would you assume he's going to dolt down? Because I have heard that... No, I didn't have heard. No, the guy told me that it was like a trap. Did he tell you that dolt? So I'm going to dolt down.
00:08:31
Speaker
The guy told you Daltown was a trap? No, that dislike was like all a show. Oh, yeah, this is all a show here. Yeah, for sure. yeah So I'm assuming that there so that the act that the fellow lady was like lying to me that they're actually in Daltown. Oh, I see. So you're inferring that she said there's a trap there. Go somewhere else. And then you came here and there was no lead that you're like, oh, dang, I should probably go back there. OK, and that makes sense. I go to total and all right. I don't know this, but I'm hoping that
Revelation of the Staged Event
00:09:03
Speaker
cut out in some kind of way will be as well because I don't really have a way to communicate with them. Roll a spirit check for me. Roll a spirit roll just to see, you know, how it's a 10.
00:09:16
Speaker
ever come hurt. I need to help. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You hear like you hear like a faint whisper on the winds as your beard starts to blow. And in your the the couple of fibers of your beard, you hear cutters voice for every moment, as if you're connected to your ah your adoptive son. And he says, I am a joy.
00:09:40
Speaker
But all you get is right around you don't know what he says. It's too muffled in your beard. What do you do? Like, by the time of day, I wouldn't have time to like first go to Winchester and then to Dalton. I mean, you could get to Dalton probably by nightfall if you rode to Winchesterville and then turn back, but you're about in the middle right now. So you'd be going. You'd have to turn back on yourself. If you went to Winchesterville first, you would have to turn back on yourself or from the Dalton and there's no lead there. You would have to turn back and go to Winchesterville. So either way, you're kind of in the middle. Mm hmm.
00:10:16
Speaker
That's really up to you, what you want your move to be. yeah want all you know All you know for sure. So there's two things that you know. You don't know. All you know is that you saw Cutter going towards Winchesterville. So that's where you would assume, well, you could i assume, I should say, he could be. But your inference is also good that like, hey, maybe they don't want me to go to Dulltown. I could go there, but you wouldn't know if Cutter is there. Yes. So you kind of just have to either do some sleuthing or just go on your gut and just pick one and go. um
00:10:48
Speaker
What kind of sleuthing would I do? I don't really think that there would be like a whole lot of people like still left in town that know about this. Left in Freedom Hollow? Yeah. I mean, there's only one way to find out. I mean, you you could do a little bit of sleuthing around. You met a couple of people. There's still the sheriff. You could try to talk to some other people in town. I mean, you didn't see the sheriff blitz that of his mind. Also, she it's probably not helpful. So I mean, you could I mean, you can just investigate the town itself to see if you can find any clues. I mean, like if they set up this this ruse here, there could be some other things you could find.
00:11:30
Speaker
That's that's true. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be totally up to you if you think Maverick could go, you know, full on investigator or if he would just like leave town. um Then and go back to where like. The the fun of birds was like set up and see if there's like any that kind of documents that like tell him to be here. Documents like. oh i see um
00:12:01
Speaker
like some kind of something You could check the guys that you slew that you shot on the stage. Yeah. Like nobody has has gone to check on them at all. Like so a lot of people dispersed when the gunfire started, but there's still plenty of people that are just like causing a ruckus. um You know, I want you to just do a quick little ah notice roll for me and we'll see what maybe Maverick can glean from this situation. That's an 11. 11? That's one one. How do you say 11 in German?
00:12:32
Speaker
11 elf. Like a fantasy creature elf. Elf. Oh, there you go, guys. Elf. Perfect. um That's my favorite movie, which is also 11. That's not my favorite movie. It's a good movie it's good Christmas movie. Okay, so you do ah some looking. So describe to me what how you're looking like, how are you investigating? What does Maverick look like when he's doing his He goes down and sniffs dead bodies to find out any information about your sniffing the body. Yes. Interesting. OK, you know what? Let's roll with the sniffing of the body. short So now is it kind of like ah you're wafting a smell towards your nose? Are you doing more like a greyhound thing where you put your nose like your body? Oh, so you're literally just getting down on all fours. It's going like, yeah.
00:13:26
Speaker
Okay, like something I've learned in bounty hunter school. Bounty hunter school, right. We all forget about bounty hunter school. Yeah. um So yeah, you find um that like, there is a slight, um a slight hint of a familiar smell from your golden feathered friend. Like you know what is she smells like even when you bathe her like you you know what her general like funk is like when she's had a long day and you do smell that even though this is a fake bird or not a fake bird but like not the one you were looking for a dead bird that like this guy one of the guys that like you are currently working that that you're investigating does have like a slight smell of ishy on him.
00:14:18
Speaker
and then you do see that on him and then you kind of recall a little bit like when you were when you were fighting Theo that like they do have a couple like kind of tiny scratches on him it looks like maybe like maybe Ishii might have ah Maybe got ahold of them at one juncture. Maybe they had been with her at some point. So you do know that these men have been near her at some point. That seems rather odd. um So that makes me think. If there are issues still in town. Which. Which one? I think they're weird as well. Well, I would say because you rolled so well that um you. ah
00:15:04
Speaker
you would know that it's just on them. like they you don't so I guess you're a Greyhound after all. I'm just gonna say you don't you don't pick up like any it lingering anywhere else, but like on these guys. and Okay. Yeah, so just to avoid you from like like thinking like, oh, your bird is somewhere here. yeah I think you could quickly eliminate like all these guys were near her at some point before they came here to do this show. Mm-hmm. Because otherwise you could probably assume they would have just had her on stage if she was here. That's what I was confused about, yeah. ah But then I also want to like look for your clothes if there's like any hints.
00:15:42
Speaker
ah Yeah, so stuff I would say that you find in each of the guys like pockets somewhere is they just have like a fat wad of cash like just stuffed in their pockets or like in a little like in a little satchel. One of the guys has like a few gold coins in a little bag. ah Thea Theodore has them when you go back and check him. Like they all have a lot of money on them for like just like this isn't money you would just carry on you unless you're like a really big criminal or like you stole it. um Typically you would store this at a bank or something or have it sent. It's a lot of money. It's like several hundred dollars. yeah Yeah, it's a lot of money for any average person to have. um I'll take one of the guys money. yes All right. You know what? Go ahead and roll ah three D100s and then we'll see how much money that guy had on him. And 154 bucks.
00:16:37
Speaker
There you go. You found $154 on this guy, which is a fat stack of cash for that like a your average like guy doing a show somewhere to have. like he made He made a lot of money. So if
Cutter's Escape from the Scheme
00:16:50
Speaker
I need to like bribe someone, I have some money for that to do. That's true. You do have a big fat wad now. um You just have to find a tight spot to put it in. Yeah, exactly. yeah So what do you want to do with your investigation? Where do you want to take it? My investigation doesn't seem to be like any more leads except for like these guys. I mean, there's tons of people in town. But I kind of but don't think that everyone in town is like involved in this whole thing. I mean, that's if that's the way Maverick feels, you can have him leave. You can, you know, if there's someone else you think he would stop. Yeah. Yeah. So why what what do you think he'd do? I think he would go to Dalton.
00:17:34
Speaker
You're just going to straight up leave. OK, so as you you hop on your horse and you're heading out of town. You see like kind of. I'll say again, we'll we'll ride your same notice roll because you rolled so high on your way out of town. You notice that like a lot of the chaos and the fighting and people swinging around and stuff like starts to die down almost immediately. Like it's weirdly quiet all of a sudden as you are exiting, like if you're as you're riding your way towards the front exit, all the chaos almost seems to stop. Mm hmm.
00:18:08
Speaker
So now it's like a ghost town. I mean, they're there, but like you would you wouldn't know anybody's around all of a sudden because it just got so quiet. That seems very suspicious. I would say so. it That'd be very odd if like the moment I leave the party dies. Like, I mean, I know I'm fun, but geez. I like 100 people here. I just imagine it's like I'm going out of the door and I like hear that everything is quite down and I like turn around, open the door again and like look in again. That doesn't seem right. Like the gate you ride out. Yeah. Yeah, you turn around and you look back and they go, oh, he's back, guys. They also like fighting again, like. And then if you turn your head and go out the door again, like the big gates, like all of a sudden it goes quiet again. And if I step in again, do they start fighting again? Yeah, they start fighting. I just start like hitting each other. I do.
00:19:02
Speaker
I should probably investigate that. I imagine Maverick sitting on his horse. He's like, hmm, stroking his beard. I should probably investigate this. Yeah, that doesn't seem very natural. ah Yeah, and that's true. Are you going to go back in and start talking or are you going to head the dog out? I'm going to ride back in and I'm going to like just look for anyone in the crowd. I mean, they're ever they're everywhere. They're fighting again. yeah Oh, I hate you. What do we hate? I don't remember my lines. And they're like just fighting each other and I go, oh, shit, he's coming over here. And you see one goes, you, I'm going to punch you, mister. And it's just like probably like some like older teen boy, you know, and he's like kind of like doing some real like light punches on your knee, like just like, eh, eh. And like, because you're up on your horse still. So he's like punching you in the leg. He's like, yeah, take that you.
00:19:58
Speaker
But it's not that I have things to do. No, we' we're fighting this. This here's a fight, mister. And everybody else is like screaming. He goes, right. Everybody go. Yeah, we're fine. I could. They're just like scrambling around and then you over here somebody go like. Are those guys really dead? And you see, like, a couple of people are, like, fighting their way up the stairs on the on the gallows to, like, check on those guys. But most people are still just, like, swinging at guys like, yeah, I got you, punk! Think you're you're an old man, I'll beat you up. And I give him $5 and I say, yeah yeah, get this and just leave. Oh, for real? Yeah. All right, dang, that's like 500 pieces of penny candy for me. Yeah. Later, losers! And he runs off to the crowd.
00:20:42
Speaker
and So I try to like get someone adult and ah I grabbed them and start like talking to and try to talk to them. Are you still on your horse? You're just like grabbing them from like up on your horse. You hop and down. um I'm I'm probably stay on my horse. Yeah. All right. So just like reaching down and like tap somebody from your horse. Yeah. And you see like a big burly dude with dude with like a big black and gray beard. Looks a little bit older. And he's ah he's like, what do you want, mister? You looking for trouble? So are you part of this whole play that's like going on here?
00:21:20
Speaker
And you see for a second, like one of his eyes are kind of squinted. He kind of looks Popeye-ish as if like one of his eyes are like, doesn't open the whole way. The other one. And then for a second, his both eyes open really wide and he goes, and then he squints his left eye again. He goes, wait, I don't know what you're talking about, mister. Are we doing 50 cuffs or what? yeah I just, I've heard this whole play going on with like the show and everything. And when I just left, everyone so ah stopped fighting. So are you up in on this? I don't know what you're talking about. And then you see like you see like a woman tap some of the shoulder and he looks and she just like slugs him across the face and goes, oh, yeah, back to fighting. And then he just like starts like trying to wrestle this woman who hit him.
00:22:08
Speaker
OK, then I'll have to do this differently. I grab my gun and shit. I threaten to shoot him if he doesn't tell me what's going on. You just point your gun at him? Yeah. ah He goes, whoa, OK, OK, what? Look, is this a fist fight? This ain't a gun fight. Put that away. Don't care about your fist fight. What's going on here? ah Do you have intimidation? Because it sounds like intimidation. I have persuasion. Well, this certainly sounds like intimidation. You're pointing a gun at a guy. I do not have intimidation. You know what? Try rolling intimidation anyway. See what you get. It'll be an unskilled roll. Hey, look at that. You blew up enough to get a four even out of minus two. Awesome. So he just he just like swallows real hard and like you see he's starting to really sweat and like his eye opens up all the way and he just says,
00:23:05
Speaker
All right, look, I'm just the voice is really hard for me to do. OK, you know how long it took me in the makeup chair to look like this? I'm just trying to get my my time's worth out of it, sir. I'm just I'm just I'm just a paid actor. Can you please tell me ah now who you hired and where this person is? So like all of a sudden like you see just like everybody kind of stops fighting and again it just feels like a ghost town for a little bit and you see like there's a couple of ladies over like up on the gallows checking on those guys and you hear like oh my god they're dead and they look over one guy just yells like goes did you kill those guys for real and then like the gentleman you were talking to he goes were those real gunfight was it were those were those real bullets you were fired I mean that dad right we were
00:23:53
Speaker
No, nobody was supposed to get killed, mister. We were just we were just told that this is all a trap. Well, look, all we were told is we were supposed to fight for a couple of hours when the old man with the, you know, with looking for the bird came in. You see, this like lady who hired you, hired you all fully knowing that I will come in here thinking this would be like a real situation, like not acting. And she put you in danger. She put me in danger and I'm trying to get her. So if you have any information on her, please tell me. There's a murmuring in the crowd and like some people are like kind of starting to panic a little bit and some of people are like holding on to one another, consoling them. Some people are sitting down. Some people are like running off like into other buildings just to get away. And like there's kind of murmuring and they're just like, what is he talking about? what's it And then the gentleman you're talking to is like, look, we all just individually got just
00:24:48
Speaker
just these envelopes with money in them with instructions on like how to prepare for a role. And they said, and this was the instruction. ah we They told us all the gunshots were supposed to be blank. And, and, and it was just all supposed to be show we were doing and all of that's more money than any of us had ever seen. And, you know, a couple of guys game by like last night, just checking in to make sure we were getting ready and You know, it's just, God, this town wasn't even here like a month ago. They built the place, got a bunch of us to come up and around here. Uh, you know, you had swung by once before as it was getting built up. Thank God you didn't know, but you know, we didn't know you was who we was performing for. This sounds all very strange. Why would they build up a whole town?
00:25:39
Speaker
Sir, I don't know. ah We were just we just got sent a lot of money, mister. We three of our friends are dead, sir. And you killed him. That's the letter to anything about the location. The letter is coming from. ah He just he reaches into his pocket and pulls out like a crumpled up kind of a stained piece of paper and he just hands it up to you. He's like, this is all that we got, sir. um What's on there? On there, it's just like kind of very neatly pressed, like like a printing press. um And it just says, like enclosed, you know dear benefactor. And it's kind of spelled like benef, and then like actor is like capitalized the whole thing. And it says, enclosed is your payment. Here are your instructions.
00:26:29
Speaker
um You know, and essentially just not to go like to window, it but essentially it just says like, you know, on this date, someone will be showing up in this town when they do. Here's your role. And you see things from like Theodore's role as like the bird master, ah the the Thunderbird. You see, he's supposed to have two henchmen that are supposed to fake fight you, um you know, and like ah there's just essentially just like a sheet that just says what everybody's roles are. And there's like like 80 extras that are in there that all got paid like
00:26:59
Speaker
a hundred bucks each to just pretend to fight for a couple of hours. Mm hmm. You know, and. And, you know, and and and somewhere else they're on there, it just says like enforcers will come around weekly to make sure that you are prepared properly and that nobody made off with the money without doing the job. um um And when was the last time these enforcers like ah came by? Last night, Mr. They just came by to make sure that we were ready for the big show. OK, so I can't really wait for those. No, they yeah, they just came by. They said they were going to come back in ah in a few days to make sure everything went off without a hitch. OK. We didn't know who you were, but I mean, you you got a pretty you know, one of our guys, you know, said that he was he was a big fan of yours. So we kind of got what information we could about him. But you know, all we knew was that you was a bounty hunter and you were quite old. Yeah, fans, Mr. People say i'm like 80 something, you know, even though that's not true.
00:27:56
Speaker
You're not in your age. Look, I mean, that's fine. I just you know, most people don't bounty hunt for as long as you do without getting killed at some point or brought in themselves. So since you're like from around here, have you heard what's like going on over at Daltown? Daltown? Yeah. What's so special about Daltown? What is Daltown? I have a question that like the person who hired you is either in Daltown or over in Winchesterville, a friend of my road. Oh, Winchesterville. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One of my friends, um you know, said that he was getting a gig up there. He was playing like a demon or something. Mm hmm. Yeah, so. ah I don't know. I mean. I mean, Winchesterville was actually there the whole time, though, it's up there by the the Canadians up there, yeah but. um
00:28:50
Speaker
But yeah, I mean, I know a couple of our of our friends were going up there to play a role just because they exceeded what they needed out here, I suppose. Mm hmm. I know much about that doll town. I only just heard of it recently myself. OK. I heard about it recently. Maybe that's also like a place I recently built up. I mean, Mr. You see how big this place is? And this was built in a couple of months. So I mean, it's very possible. I don't know what's real anymore. Needed right. It's like I've been playing this role for weeks, not knowing when you were going to show up. We've had to live the same day. For weeks, not knowing when you were on your way. That sounds kind of shitty. It was awful. And this is the first time anybody's died on Showtime day. Show day. Show show time. The day. So D day.
00:29:42
Speaker
That don't sound right, mister. I thought that's what I call it. I mean, am I? I don't know. I never heard anything called D-Day until today, so it could be. um So are you guys up for like that I hire you? To do what, mister? I mean, three of our friends are dead. um And if you don't hurry, more people will die. um Oh, Dan, you tell me that Carl's unsafe up in Winchesterville. ah Yes, he actually wanted to be an actor. We're all just doing this because we just got pretty much a three years paycheck.
00:30:22
Speaker
um So do you are you up for like more money? Mister, I mean, I got more money I can count right now, and not that I don't want more money, but I mean, what do you want us to do? We ain't main't fighters. I have this, I made this predicament that my friend in Minchez was probably in trouble, but I was still thinking that there's people in Doletown, so I kind of need to need people at both places.
00:30:53
Speaker
To do what, mister? We ain't fighters, none of us are gunmen. The only definitely three that were kinda okay at it were the ones that you killed. That's why they got the part. I mean, you could still, like, fight them. Everybody can throw a punch. Ah, mister, we've been training on how to do fake punches for the past three weeks. I mean, we can we can try to throw some real punches, but I mean, I don't know, mister, you're putting a lot of us more of us in danger. That's also true, I shouldn't do that. I mean, if you really want some of us to come with you, you can go ahead and roll a persuasion roll. No, I don't feel right to like put you in danger. Okay. Let me roll a persuasion roll to see if I can persuade you to not make us go with you.
00:31:41
Speaker
Uh, do they have, I don't think I gave any of these turds. Oh, there it is. What they roll. The rule of critical fail. He's like, so I mean, there's no, I could, I mean, a fight fighting me. but yeah have No, you say yeah. Oh, okay. Good. And then you see, like, he's having like kind of like a little bit of an anxiety attack and he just sits down and he's like breathing in and out. Like,
00:32:10
Speaker
um I'm andm like so confused right now to which place should go. All right. Well, why don't we give you a break to think about that? yeah And we will cut over to Cutter O'Toole, who last we saw him got his lights turned out by Bella and when he was ah getting ganged up on by some of the workers at the scare house in Winchesterville. There's a big old gang bang that happened. They banged me in the head with their fists. Yep. They sure did edit that out. the So, cutter, you roll a vigor roll for me real quick. I just want to. Yeah, let's see how well you like how quick you come to eat. Oh, you're shaking. You have to. You have to roll to unshake first. Oh, I mean, I probably would still be shaking if I was waiting if I was still asleep, right?
00:33:04
Speaker
That's true. You know what? We'll give it to you. That's fair. I got eight. That's pretty good. That's pretty good, right? Eight's pretty good. That's pretty good. Eight is pretty good. Now you can roll to unshake to see. Let me. Yeah. Let's see if I wake up and shake it off. I can now act. You can now act. Wow. You did the thing. So yeah. So what you snap. Oh, sorry. you you that You snap back to reality. Oop. There goes gravity. He's real fast. like just like You just do tell me what happens when you wake up. How does Cutter find himself awake? Uh, they left me safe and sound in my own bed yeah with bathy beside me. Um, um I feel a rattling and I opened my eyes up and that's all I move. I look around, I'm in the back of a wagon. I'm like, I'm probably tied up. I bet. Uh, hands and feet. You're definitely tied up. Yeah. And you're in a bed. You're in a bed that has been constructed not in the back of a wagon. Oh shit. I am in a wagon. Okay.
00:34:03
Speaker
and you're in a bed. You're laying in a nice cozy bed, but your arms and legs are restrained and you have a blindfold kind of half-assedly put on your eyeballs, but like, you know, it's kind of slipped up over top of one of them as you were kind of getting tossed around in the back in your bed. Can I see you kind of peek in anything? I see anything underneath the crack of the blindfold. Yeah, you see my head too much. Yeah, you see so like you feel and see beautiful silk sheets um that are that are that are just swaddling you so comfortably. um I think to myself, what's this finery?
00:34:40
Speaker
You see um that it's kind of dark back here. Aside from that, like you can just kind of see like kind of like faint lights from like a um Maybe like a lantern that's hanging off the back of the wagon or something or maybe off the front So yeah, like it's just like every time like the lantern kind of like shakes a little bit one way You kind of see a little bit of a flicker of like, you know You're in a wagon you see that like there's an actual bit in the back of a wagon But and you just kind of hear the faint sound of a of like a oh, I take it back It's not a faint sound because it's a wagon so like you you can kind of hear somebody kind of coughing up front a little bit and then you hear like the clip-clop clip-clop of the uh,
00:35:16
Speaker
of a horse is wagging. It's so damn noisy. um um'm gonna try check fuckout vigger that also i I'm to think that I'm thinking. I'm also thinking it really loud. Sorry, Mr. I want to try and ah rub my head against like ah the frame of like that. If there's like a little post near me or something, try and get my the blindfold off my head. All right, how about a survival role to see either that or agility? I guess you could just call that agility if you like. Survive with agility. I should have rolled one. Agility. Yeah, you're still working with a minus one because you were wounded. Yeah, I'm hurting.
00:35:54
Speaker
Yeah, so yeah, you try to you you try to like kind of get your head up there ah yes um well da you You hear somebody like beat on like kind of like part of the side of the wagon you're shut the fuck up in there. No shit sir That's all right, just don't let it happen again
00:36:17
Speaker
ah So, yeah, like you've you've kind of inadvertently as you're trying to rub your face on the bedpost to get the blindfold off, you've kind of put it back over your eyes more. got to ah Can I. um Are my hands tied behind my back? I'm assuming. ah Funny enough, no, they're tied to in front of you and your front. I'm like, oh, well, I just might just put my hands on move. Yeah. You go through all that you're like, wait a minute. It's like when you find your sunglasses on your head. Judging by the way that man spoke to me, it sounds a little more relaxed. i'm just goingnna I thought maybe I have to sneakily do it, but I'm just going to pull it up. Hello. Look around. Do you say hello? No, no, no. time Someone's on the outside of your ear. Hello. yeah yeah Guys like. um Yeah, you look around again like as the light hits like. ah You know, ah Adrian, how late in the day would you say it was ah by the time you kind of wrap up your investigation a bit in Freedom Hollow?
00:37:14
Speaker
I'd say around like lunch time. It's still lunch time. Wow. It's still way early in the day. Um, so yeah, we'll say it's a little bit after lunch time, but like, but like there's, um, But like, you know, the wagon is still very much covered. So like, you don't see much going on in there. um So instead, let's retroactive. I shouldn't have asked Adrian, because now he's really undone my whole lantern thing. Is that a lantern light that's flickering in every once in a while? he la Oh, man. Yeah. the flatful I thought that was a lot of a lantern, but it's daylight. Thank goodness. here is dead That's all he has. Connor was hallucinating for a moment. i mean Very well. I had a blindfold on. Yeah.
00:37:52
Speaker
um So you pull the you pull it up over your eyes. You see that like, you know, as the light kind of sometimes peers through the back of this dark wagon, you see your bed. You see, there's not a whole lot back in here. because They just wedged the bed in the back of a fucking wagon for you to lay in. That's it. And you just and um you hear like several clip clops of horses hooves hitting the ground. Is there like a little flap or ah opening? I can look up to the front. Uh, you know what? Let's see if you see that. Why don't you do a notice and see if you can see it? There's something to see. Do a bad roll here, I bet. I got a three on my wild dice. Does that give me anything? Eh, it gives you- know what? There is a flap, but it is, like, it's fucking sewed shut by accident. Uh, somebody who was making this wagon sewed that part by mistake and they only have one opening in the back. Come on, dammit. Yeah, so you could maybe rip it open.
00:38:47
Speaker
He'll hear me. and I invest. I'm going to investigate my person. Do I have anything on me still? ah You have like a bruised rib ah that hurts like that's still there. Yep. Oh, yeah. I'm going to take it off me. I guess that you're not currently wearing Maverick's hat ah because you're laying in bed. I took Maverick's hat. And ah you don't have your guns on you. I've got my guns. I'm probably not my sword either. I imagine right. ah You know what they left your sword These fools left me a damn sword Yeah, you see it cut you can hear it kind of like clinking around like over by like the exit of the wagon You can hear i like dink-dink-dink every time they hit a bump Damn I I go and try to fetch it
00:39:36
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it's pretty easy for you to do. I mean, your legs are kind of tied, so you have to roll across the bed a bit and grab it. But it's not a very big wagon. Yeah, you have your sword. It's easy. All right. And I'm going to try and hold it between my knees and rub my wrist ropes against it until it cuts. Oh, there we go. Nice. All right. Now, that's a survival role, if I've ever heard it. I ever heard about something that was related to surviving. I got an eight in the wild dice. Thank God. Nice. You got a zero on the other one. Yeah, you rolled a six plus three plus plus minus one. Um, so yeah yeah, I mean easy enough. You said you're doing your wrist and your feet, uh, wrist first. Then once my hands are free, I'll just cut my, one of my feet more easily with my hands. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Yeah. Yeah. Easy enough. You get it. You get the ropes off your hands and air off your wrists and off your ankles very quickly.
00:40:23
Speaker
Yes, your your your your limbs are free. Then I want to try and so very slightly ah lift the back flap of the back end of the thing and see if there's anybody behind I can see. ah You lift the back flap and you don't see anybody, but weirdly, you also don't see like you're not on a trail. You're not on like a dirt road or anything. You're like. You're in like ah like a small forest, it looks like. You're surrounded by trees. OK. Well, thank goodness. I was hoping I was starting to think maybe they had me sitting in a a stationary thing. They were just jostling it, saying, oh, we're all on the trail. another Another silly little play or something going on. um or so We're in the woods. Did you say that? Because you know that's what I'm going to say next. No, I just thought I was going to say, it's not funny enough. You look out and you're just in a warehouse, a barn.
00:41:19
Speaker
um Well, do you climb out? um
00:41:26
Speaker
So just see a forest. that is it's It's moving like we're moving through the four. No, that's why I thought it was funny that you said that because you're not moving at all. It's like nothing in the forest is moving farther away from you. Then. God damn it. I mean, another one of them silly little damn play play things are putting on a they no real.
00:41:46
Speaker
Yeah, you just hear like you're like there's a guy like you hear often decide to hear a guy go like. And he's like clacking like fucking coconuts together and shit and like rock trying to make noises and like one guy's like you can kind of hear it now that you're kind of keen to what's going on. You kind of see like the wagon is shaking way more than it should now that you're looking out and you're not moving. Hmm. What would they expect? Could I reasonable? Is it making enough noise like them jostling the wagon that I could reasonably believe I could pretend perchance pry a few boards from the bottom and sneak out the bottom? Oh, I mean, you can certainly give it a try. I wouldn't say that you can do it without like a risk, though. But if you wanted to try, I would say I'm fucking away. So maybe I might. We'll say like a minus one because it'd be a little tough, but you could probably do it. What am I rolling?
00:42:36
Speaker
ah well you could probably do a Well, if you're trying to do it sneakily, you'll want to do stealth um to see if you can pry some boards loose. But also, you probably want to do a strength roll, just so you can even cut them loose in the first place. I'll do each of those. Because also, you're on ah there's a bed. That stealth sucked. My strength down to 14 though. You're on the 14 on your strength. So yeah. So oh you're just like starting to just like, like dig your sword into the board, just like fucking rip boards up. It was like, it's like getting in there. I'm like, all right, nice and quiet cutter. a yeah play the big sporting noise Yeah, they just like shrapnel throughout the fucking thing, getting crumbs and and splinters through your bed. um And here's how we go. What was that noise?
00:43:21
Speaker
um As you get a couple boards free and not quite enough that you can get yourself out yet So you can continue to do that as you hear somebody actually starting to walk around the other side of the wagon like what's going on on there? So I gave myself a d6 performance a while back And i have I have one wound. I want to try and like cover my mouth a little bit be like oh one of the boards broke back Don't worry about it All right. Yeah, I like that. OK, go ahead and do performance. That's very funny. I got a nine. Nice. You got a nine. And like you hear like the footstep just like starts like great. You see like a hand like touches the the the shade to forget that they're about to pull back and then hears. All right. Cool. Right on. I want to go back over here and continue doing wagon stuff. All right. I'm going to try and mend it a bit. So don't mind any noise here.
00:44:11
Speaker
All right, 10-4, whatever that means. And he goes back and goes, hey, I'm a horse. And he starts moving the wagon again. And I'm going to continue prying some boards away until I can drop out the bottom. And you're like, hey, all right, Desti, you're doing a good job on them boards, buddy. Hey, I'm getting back so that filler can't get out. it um All right, so you pull a couple more boards free, and then you drop out through the bottom? Yep. Hit the jack off switch. Do you take anything else with you? Uh, just my sword, baby. Just, just your cutlass. Okay. Yeah. So you dropped through the bottom of the wagon that you see, like, I look for feet and legs. I was gonna say, you see three sets of feet. Uh, you see two immediately, one on either side of you and you see one's like kind of rocking back and forth. And then you see off in the woods, another person, um, is walking towards the wagon from the woods. And then you see the one guy goes, I thought you was fixing the floorboards. And he's like, what? No, I was just taking a piss, man.
00:45:10
Speaker
Like, now he's fixing the floorboards. And then he calls out and he goes, Chuck, are you fixing the floorboards? He's like, no, I thought Dusty was fixing the floorboards. And he goes, no, Dusty's right here. He's just taking a wee. So that's what you hear right now. I look at my colors and I say, I can be just as deadly with my fists as this. And I throw it towards the back of the thing, so it makes a big clattering noise over there. You're going to throw it towards the back of the wagon? I just sort of do a shot, chuck, I just chuck it. You're going to chuck your sword? Underneath the, yeah, so I can throw it further away from me, make a clattering noise somewhere over there.
00:45:47
Speaker
i mean in a different direction. I'm totally fine with you doing that, but you don't have to throw your sword. Like you busted like a bunch of shit off of this wagon. There's probably tons of stuff you could throw to make noise. I get ready. I get ready. I cocked my arm back in the sword. Oh, wait a second. I got a bunch of boards here. Yeah. Yeah. You have like boards with nails in them and shit that you could just like throw unless you really want to throw your cutlass. I'll keep it just in case. I whip a a couple of those down to the far end of the but wagon. And before I get too far, was an actual forest I saw or was it like a cardboard, like a wooden forest they painted and built? It's hard to say from this angle. You have to get closer. OK, that's fine. It looks pretty realistic, though. I whip a couple ah chunks of board in the opposite direction far into the wagon. ah And I wait and see if anybody goes over that way. i Yeah, why don't we make that another performance roll? Oh, two.
00:46:43
Speaker
That's a two. You do what you need to do. You throw it over there. And one guy is like, I don't know, it seems a bit fishy, but I'll go check it out, I suppose. And like, no, I said Dusty, he was pissing anyway. And I was like, all right, fa I'll go get yeah I mean, I saw the board fly out. I'll go get the board. OK. And so like you see Dusty goes around and like goes and chases after a board that you whipped out. You whipped it a little too hard and just went like skidding across the fucking across the ground underneath the wagon. But you have somebody distracted. Is he near the wagon? ah He's approaching the backside of the wagon to go get the board that you threw. I've got a new play. No one else is near him in the back of the wagon, right? No. The other guys are on either side. Dusty seems like a weak link. I'm going to creep over that way. And when trying to put my cutlass right up between his legs and touch him in the groin. OK. And I'm like, you make a sound, brother, you're going to lose it.
00:47:37
Speaker
And you hear him go, I poke a little deeper. No sounds, fill or no sounds. All right. So he's just like frozen still with a cutlass pointed at his at his dong. What do you do? And may I say, ah now you bend down here like picking stuff up and you tell me where the hell I am. Am I allowed to talk? Yeah, just very quietly.
00:48:02
Speaker
And he's like, look around, you can see he's like trying to determine if he wants to do what you want him to do, or if he's just going to scream for help. like's His eyes are darting back and forth. I wiggle the sword. OK, OK. Roll an intimidation roll. OK, come on. Don't fuck me now, wound. 10 on my wild dice. 10 on the wild dice. Nice. He just says, OK, OK, OK. okay OK, and he's like kneels down real slowly as like he feels like the the the point ended up blade just like kind of poking him in the pants. I kind of lower it as I go, but keep it. Yeah, he goes. I mean, yeah, it's like I already forgot what you wanted me to tell you, Mr. Is having a hard time concentrating right now. I know he's like kind of looking down ways underneath the wagon or he's just they level with me kind of more. I'm like, look at me now, feller. Look at me. All right. Look, you're your pickers going to be all right. I ain't going to wreck it long. You tell me where the hell we are. Oh,
00:48:52
Speaker
We're in we're in downtown, sir. All right. Was that what's going on here? We were just given a lot of money to pretend like he was on a wagon somewhere, Mr. That's all. And you're so you're you're you're almost in time for the sword fight, Mr. You're supposed to escape. You're just not supposed to be putting a sword against my my talent, sir. Who am I supposed to be fighting? I don't I don't know. That's not my role. well I hang on. i get I can grab the book. You have it on you. No, it's on my horse. Yeah, get no book, feller. OK, that's OK. So yeah, I mean, you're supposed to escape, Mr. The other guys already know we're supposed to pretend like we don't we don't know. All right, none of you fellers is ah fighting types. Oh, no, I mean, the guy the guy who's playing Chuck over here used to be a boxer, but like that was a long time ago.
00:49:47
Speaker
All right, back up a little bit. He, like, backs up and tries to stand up. I scoot out, and I say, I'm sorry for this, Dusty. And I got to grab him and, like, hold the sword to his neck. I say, all right, everybody, I'm leaving. He's just like, please, please, please, I got a baby. I mean, it's not a real baby. I mean, it is, but it's a donkey baby. It's a puppy. Please. All right, you boys, you want Dusty to see his baby donkey again? You know, keep back from me. it's ah It's a puppy. It's not a donkey. It's a puppy. Oh, I thought you said donkey. I'm sorry. His pay, he's his donkey again. it did i'll but I'll slice a stone. Just stay back. Especially you, Chuck. I don't want to be boxed. Chuck is like, oh, those days are behind me, Mr. No, we're I'm just trying to get some extra money. Come on now. Leave him alone. He's a good kid. It's like riding a bicycle. I don't want to get into a cauliflower ear. All right. Don't punch me in my ears, Chuck. I'm not good, sir. I'm not going to touch your ears. Just let let let them go.
00:50:44
Speaker
I'm busting out here and whether you like it or not, you sons of bitches, I look around trying to evaluate my surroundings a little better now. ah Yeah, as you do, a quick notice roll is like you have ah a knife press to, quote unquote, Dusty's April. I do is like a fucking needle. Oh, God, I got a one. Do you have. OK, so you look around and um You back up into like a bush and the bush just falls like right over. it's It's just kind of like a like a plastic bush. Not exactly. It's like a plastic, but it's not actually a plastic, book but it's kind of like you can tell that like it's kind of like like some flowers and like some some foliage are just kind of like tacked on there. It's just like a little wooden thing. You kind of fall over it a little bit and you and Dusty just go like. yeah
00:51:34
Speaker
Yeah, you're right, Dusty. I didn't get you, did I? He's like criving on his neck. He's like, am I dead? I got the blunt end on you. I'm not i'm not really gonna, I mean, I'm gonna get him. is oh This is all foolishness. I mean, my God, we all know it's fake. Dusty, I mean, as i'll i i be really though, don't piss me off too much. I'm having a rough day. I will kill you. Yeah. What did you do so much to piss off Ms. Black? I don't know who the hell that is, feller. I don't know what the hell's going on. They got my girl and they got some people from town. I know you feel it's like his his whole body just kind of like relaxes for a minute. And then like you see the other guys just kind of like put their hands in their pockets like, well, you don't know who Miss Black is. I like go a dusty. I push him back. um Do I still have my little my little sheath for my sword?
00:52:19
Speaker

But either way, ah yeah, they got people there. they' She's threatening people. I know and people that are innocent. Well, if I did something wrong, I mean, fellers, I know you was paid, but like,

So we're putting on a big show for you and your friends. fells i don't I don't know how to tell you this, but I think he was faed ah fed some lines, ah both literally and figuratively, ah for what you're supposed to say in your in your performance, and also just what they told you. yeah I'm trying to tell you guys, there's a whole, there's a whole, there's a lot more going on in what you've been told. And I'm asking you, fellers, if you

And he goes, hang on, hang on, hang on. And he's like flipping through it. And he says, yeah, right here. This is not what it appears to be. They they just have like a couple of guest lines that you might say ah we didn't know if you had lines or not. um So we just would have written it. What do you think I was going to say? And we're going to say this is not what it appears to be. Where is Bathey? I love Bathey.

Is Bathie here? There's a lot of lines with this Bathie person in here. Damn, they got me spot on there, damn. Well, it is not what it appears to be, fellas. I'm trying to maybe persuade you to, I know you said your parts are done, so maybe play a new part now. I need i need help, fellas. I'm in a rough spot, and there might be a little even a little child now. There was a woman that took this child that I found along the way, and she came and stalked me in the jaw with her. She got a mean, right hook. Still hurts because she's made a medal, mister. and Now I would explain it. Yeah. Yeah. Some yeah some fellow cooked her up in the lab so he could have sex or something weird. I don't like yeah it's a good doctor. he yeah He's he's he's got something fun cooked up, too. We're actually going to go get seats after this. We can go see it. e That's fantastic. That's fantastic. um It's fancy black, sir. i' I'm saying a different word. Oh. You know, you get real persuasion if you want.
00:56:15
Speaker
I got a four in the wild dice. ah You see, they kind of, like I said, the one guy that approaches you, the guy who plays Dusty, and he's like, what do you want, mister? I mean, we're done. I told you you were supposed to escape. I mean, I mean, what do you want us to do? I i ah feel whatever's out there, I'm likely it' going to go up against great odds. And I'm already hurting. I don't know. You see, a few fellers said you ain't fighters, maybe. But I mean, I don't know. I could use maybe tell some folks you know that this ain't right. This is all just, as I said, something darker going on. There's people here that have been kidnapped taken. I said, maybe people you know innocent people love my life. Some younger little girl I've met, the little boy too from town. They might have him too now. I don't know. Yeah. We, we know about the hostages, mister, but you're, you're supposed to go save them. Well, I'm telling you, that's not all play acting. That's a real thing. There's a people was really taken from us. They burnt down a town, a house, a building and do dad is very bad.
00:57:14
Speaker
They left them but somebody in there. It might be dead. I don't know. you Very strange. They just sat there the whole time. So you want us to come with you? Well, you said you ain't fired. Maybe not come with me, but go around and tell us from other folks like you. This ain't what it was meant to be. This is all not a show. It's for it's real. You've been tricked. You see the one guy you see, Chuck is like looking through his book and he says, oh, yeah, right here. He's kind of jumped ahead a few pages, but there is something about like we're supposed to help him. ah So I'm sorry, that's not what Chuck sounds like. Yeah, there's a partner is supposed to help him. So. ah All right, Mr. Cutter, Mr. O'Toole. Are we supposed to call you Clarence or or or no? who Where do you hear that?
00:57:57
Speaker
It says Clarence and then parentheses cutter. Oh, tool on the on the on the call sheet here. I i don't know. I never told anybody asked for a long time. I don't know, Mr. That's just what it says. I'm sorry. I didn't know that in my name yet. Damn it. Give me that book. I throw it. We're going off script, fellas, off script. All right. Right. You checked up because I OK. I mean, we're we're all still new to this. so Yeah. I mean, I guess we're going to follow your lead, Mr. Yeah. Go wherever there's other folks like you who's acting. tell him mrs Tell him it's over. Tell him it's up. OK. But before you go before you go on to the next chapter, um hang on, there's something that ah you were supposed to that you were supposed to get. ah You kind of what you kind of went around. We thought he was going to try to hijack the front of the wagon. And so you see Chuck runs around and he grabs a he grabs like a little satchel um from the the driver's seat of the wagon and he hands it to you. says Yeah, you're supposed to take this because
00:58:53
Speaker
Although, frankly, as as a man who's a fan of the theater myself, I kind of feel like you should stay wounded. But apparently there's something in here that's supposed to make you feel better. So like, you you know, you have a better fighting chance or something. Give me that. eyegra s I snatch it. Yeah. my ribs got um And like ah you open up the bag, the satchel, and there's like kind of like a like a clear drink with like gold little flex floating in it. Hey, Dusty. Yeah. Take a sip of this. Oh, really? I can have some. I mean, that's real gold in there. Miss Black says ah that's for you. Just a little sip. Take a little sip. OK. And he gets a little sip and he goes, hmm, tangy. Really swash around your lips there. Take it down.
00:59:39
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's good stuff, mister. I just look at him. He stares back at you, and he's like, what are we doing, mister? How you feeling, Dusty? I mean, it's good. I mean, it's just, it's it's like some German import, I think. Your guts ain't in no twist or nothing? No, I've never had it. I mean, it's not quite my my taste, but it's good. Don't think you're going to die? No. Not losing your faculties in any sort of way? I might if I have a few more. That's true. Well, I don't want to waste it if it is good. Well, seems like I'm meant to be. They are going to do it to nothing to me now, whatever. I'll do it. You just you just knock it back. Yeah. I mean, it's it's powerful. roll Roll me a vigor roll. If you just if you just slug it.
01:00:23
Speaker
Oops, I clicked that in the wrong way. Eleven. Wow. Fucking eleven. Like I was going to say, like chugging this, you're essentially drinking like ah like an elevated version of Goldschlager and like you're just like pounding it, which is unheard of. Like people usually mix that shit or drink it in small cups. It's like fucking pounding it and like. But, you know, the power of love is on your side and you feel invigorated and like you feel immediately like any pain that like you felt leaning, breathing, moving from your your ribs just immediately dissipates. And you feel kind of like a cooling sensation like right around your rib cage. Would you say that perhaps I lost and a one wound I may have had? I'd say that you can ignore a wound um for quite some time. You still have it. It's just you can ignore that you have it for three hours. OK. Yeah, it's still there. You still have a bruise trip. but
01:01:15
Speaker
but So I'm going to make it zero. Yeah, that's fine. That way we don't forget. But let's remember later on, it's going to come back. Right. Temporary forget wound. and that's That's English. and How does ah how does natural healing work, Adam? How does natural healing work? There are some wounds that like i going to wait for that. Like your bruise. It depends on the wound that you received. So like a bruised rib can take like several weeks for it to totally heal. um But, you know, depending on your immune system and how fit you are, like it could take less time. So it just depends on how superficial the wound is that you receive for it to heal. OK, because I have plus two to vigor roles for natural healing. But it says you check every three days instead of five. So I'm going to wait a little bit.
01:02:04
Speaker
ah You know what? Roll a vigor roll for natural healing. See if maybe it boosts it for later down the road. but you need Yeah, I got a five. Does my plus two matter for that? Because I got to be a seven. Yeah, that matters. It's not ah an ace, but it's still good. So yeah, so just hold on to that note that through the power of love and friendship that you know and your just good healing factor that you ah We'll say we'll say four days max that you're you're maybe the bruise wasn't quite as bad as you thought when Dean tackled you. I'm Wolverine. Yes, I do. All right. So you take this drink, you knock it back and all the guys just look at you and say, all right, Mr. We're going to go do whatever that thing is. You just do about the acting and everything. So I'm sure it's not going to mean anything. Go on. All right. I'll turn around. well Where's the door out of this damn place? Ain't no door, Mr. You just have to walk off set. Where's that then?
01:03:00
Speaker
ah Pretty much any direction after like maybe quarter a mile Jesus is there a real horse run here? Oh? Yeah, like you see there's like several horses that like the guys like have their stuff packed on All right Mine's not here then huh? Yeah, I know you don't see butternut anywhere. I won't take one of these horses oh I mean all right. I mean it's it does say on the script here that you would probably take one of our horses, so I mean I That's okay, mister. All right then, thank you. All right, well all i well, enjoy the rest of the rest of the play. We'll be rooting for you, Mr. Cutter. Thanks. I'm sure I'm going to love everything that's going on. All byebye right, bye-bye. All right, bye, Clarence. I got to tip my hat
Maverick's Group Dynamics and Decisions
01:03:41
Speaker
and I don't have one anyway. Oh, yeah. yeah
01:03:44
Speaker
I just kind of like killing when you awkwardly wage money. They're not when you like stop midway. I i just scratch my head and see you guys. Yeah. And you're right off. OK, so you do that. We'll go back to Maverick ah Maverick. You were in Freedom Hollow. um you ah You know, this is a great test for the fact that you guys are split up. This is a great test to do. Like, you know, could we do like one on one episodes and stuff? I've done it once before, but I haven't got a lot of practice. That's kind of fun to get that practice. um But Maverick, a.k.a. Adrian, um you are in Freedom Hollow and you did a little bit of sleuthing around. You interrogated some people. They said they got a bunch of money ah sent there to do a bunch of acting for when you showed up and you were trying to figure out where do I go to find Cutter? Do I go to Dulltown or do I go to Winchesterville?
01:04:34
Speaker
Yes. And since, like, the whole time has been recently built, I think it's probably rather like both to like base. Well, you don't you don't know that that was just a guess that you and the other guy had was like they said, like, we haven't really heard of it before. We only just learned about it. So you don't know for sure. But that's just an inference that you are making. Hmm. Yeah. But what do you do? I think I'm going to head off and follow my original feeling. To Winchesterville? To Daltown. To Daltown. All right. So you go to Winchesterville. And now I'm just kidding. I'm listening. um So you're just going to ride off ah westward towards Daltown. Indeed. Yeah. All right. Is there anybody else that you want to talk to any place that you want to stop or any preparations that you would like to do before you head that direction?
01:05:28
Speaker
Um, do I want to do anything? I don't think that I do. You don't. OK, so you ride your way. You're following the stream away from Freedom Hollow. And then as you as you head up towards the stream and you ride your way up there, you see, you know, some of the bodies of the guys that you killed earlier before you guys turn around. um You continue on past them and eventually ah you come to um A couple of um what are they called?
01:06:03
Speaker
ah Oh, catapults is what they're called. You write up and you see, I don't know why my brain forgot the word fucking catapult. um And so you write up and you see these massive catapults and you see there's probably like a half a dozen dudes that are loading up like these massive fucking big rocks and boulders onto them. um And you see the guys look up and and go, hey, you're not supposed to be here for like another, I don't know, a couple of hours, I think. So could you come back again a little bit? We're supposed to be flinging rocks down at that fake town. I mean, it's a real town, but like you don't. Shit. Hang on. And he pulls out like a piece of paper and starts looking and he goes. I decree that you show that. Guys, can someone just tell him he's early? I don't really know what to do. She didn't tell us what to do if he gets here early.
01:06:52
Speaker
And like, a couple of the do me a favor and stop with the acting stuff and just let me go through. Mr. We can't get paid if you don't. I mean, sir, just please come back later. We don't know who you are, but we know I i give you money and you just leave me. Oh, really? How much money do you got? Got like one hundred and eighty four. There's like all six dudes that are there. Like, is that for all of us? Are we all getting one hundred hundred eighty four bucks each? That's all I have. You either take it or we need to like do this out like the old way. Well, well, well, we're all just <unk>re look, we're just trying to earn our living, man. I mean, we we're supposed to be firing giant rocks at that town here in a little bit, but you're supposed to be there and you're supposed to come riding on your trusty steed while the rocks fly to come up here and stop us. like Don't you believe in show in the show, mister? I don't either. I was right along and you leave me.
01:07:49
Speaker
You take the money or things are going to actually because I'm kind of sick of this whole play. Well, you see, they're they're all just kind of like dumbfounded because they don't like they're kind of all looking at each other with kind of like a a look of shock on their face. Like we're not really sure, Mr. We're not. She told us that we won't play. It's just a whole fake. So please just let it be. Well, she told us that we had to subdue you, Mr. If you try to do things out of order. I mean, I'm guessing that coming early is technically part of that. So we just ain't supposed to kill you. But we we will hurt you if you try to. That's what we was paid to do, Mr. Let's just try to see a reason, please.
01:08:34
Speaker
Let's just all live in peace. There doesn't need to be any bloodshed here. I already killed some people over in Freedom Hollow, even though I didn't want to. And now that's dead. So please just let it be. I can give you some money and then everything's fine. Wait, wait, who did you kill? You killed somebody for real? Not like... Yeah, like I told you, it's it's no play. Who did you kill? And you see like the one guy steps forward and like grabs your boot and he goes, who did you kill? I like try to push them away. I don't remember their names. They're like pointed guns at me. You killed the gunman? Oh, God. Oh, God. My uncle was playing a gunman. Please tell me. I hope he didn't make it that day. Oh, God. Please tell me. What did he look like? Some adult man. I didn't really pay much attention to his face. That describes my uncle. He's an adult man.
01:09:29
Speaker
yeah
01:09:32
Speaker
What else did he look like, mister? Did you kill my uncle? I think I'm just going to keep on riding. I don't want to keep talking. You just like leave. You just like you just ride away from them. Yeah, just keep riding towards. toar um You ride away and you just hear a guy is like, I won't forget what you did, mister. If you killed my uncle, I'm coming for you and I'll be play acting when I'm done with you. ah just one He's ignoring when you keep riding. OK, so you ride past and then you see um you ah you ride along the stream for a little while. And then you see there's a couple of fishermen there and they're just like fishing out the stream and they kind of stand in front of your horse. and They go, whoa, mister, can I come and see if the fish are biting? Not really. Sorry, I'm kind of in a bit of a hurry.
01:10:25
Speaker
Well, I heard that if you catch a certain kind of fish, you'll be able to feed a very beautiful golden bird. yeah This is the guy, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. The golden bird. Can I do that line again? Hang on. I hear that if you catch the right fish, you'll be able to feed a certain golden bird. I just keep on riding. I'm sick of this. You ride fast. OK, so ah you continue riding on and eventually. um
01:10:58
Speaker
You see Cutter as you ride, you start to see like this town ah kind of up ahead of you and like a bunch of trees kind of propped up all over the place on the plains um and a bunch of like other buildings kind of pop up. but It's a very weirdly
Cutter and Maverick's Reunion
01:11:12
Speaker
looking built town. um And as you kind of approach it, you see running out of like these strangely colored bushes. You see Cutter ah with a sword in hand. i I'm sorry. He has ah he has a horse. So he has a sword in his hand. He's riding a horse. He definitely has a butternut. Hey, Carter. I found you. Now, you Maverick, I'm squinting. Yes, it's me. Oh, my God, Maverick. Oh, my God. Did you find a bird? Probably not. I'm betting, right? I did not. Please, I need a hug. Oh, God, I jumped down. I jumped down. All right, Maverick. Roll for a hug. Bigger. Yeah, roll spirit or figure for a hug. Spirit. Seven for spirit.
01:11:59
Speaker
That's a 12. 12. Wow, dang. That's my daddy never did. You guys feel the power of bro love and adoptive father, son love. And you each get a Benjamin to add for the next episode or this one, whichever one. Everything's driving me crazy. You went all to Winchester. Yeah, there's nothing there. Pekka record was there. She was in on it. oh This whole thing's a damn cockamamie show. I'm getting i'm up to here with it. I'm dry i'm going crazy. I'm mad. I'm sad. I'm um depressed. may ever I'm feeling things. So many emotions. I can't keep control of it. All right, me too. And it's kind of I'm starting to lose the grasp of reality. Like, what's real? What's not real? Oh, it's all fake except for Vanta Black. And I don't know what else. God damn it. It's driving me insane. and
01:12:46
Speaker
ah I want to pass it back, God damn it. And then you the bell is in her. She punched me right in the chest. She knocked me out. She slobbered, knocked me. Really? Yeah, that damn. yeah I wasn't going to say a word. I don't want, there's not quite right to say about a lady, but she's one of them. I'm going to tell you that. I ah did kind of have a bad feeling about her. Yeah, I was just, I was all caught up in the moment. I don't know where the hell she did with them them poor kids. um So while we are now, we have Not safe anyone and we don't really know what to do Rex, right? Well, apparently I'm supposed to have a sword fight. That's what I live in my sword um But who knows if he's a real person who's meant to just throw the fight ah I'm really torn between one just kill everybody's are annoying the heck out of me because they've got people there's people really in danger But these people don't know no better ah I want to be the yeah, luckily those guys back at the first little bit there. It was kind of cool So I didn't get too mad at him
01:13:41
Speaker
But his van to black person, I'm going to give them a, what for? I see them. What the hell is it? Did you like come from doll town or I don't know. I'm thinking this is doll town. I don't know. They tell me it was, I had my sword up to a man's genitals. He told me it was all down. And, uh, yeah, I can't, I was at Winchesterville, but that was a whole fiasco. That's where Bella punched me in the head and a jaw. And I ended up here, uh, for the next part of their damn show. Either way, man, we got, um we got to go. I want to, I'm going to stab somebody for sure. so i Me too. If they're not in this, they're not innocent. I'm going to take them down. I was really, I came in here. I woke up after being punched. I thought I'm full piss of piss. I'm going to take all these people. But now I think there's not a single person involved in this. That is legitimate. Except for people down at cruelty alley old, uh, Tommy, whatever his name was, his people. They was real, I think, but I think everybody else. so its valley yeah
Choosing Paths and Musical Interruption
01:14:36
Speaker
I think everybody else here, there's all, there's all just people, normal people getting duped in as I'm probably going to get them killed. If wasn't for me, my restraint. oh Yeah. I actually like short, like two or three guys, like down on freedom holder because I thought they were like real bad guys. Well, what are you going to do, Maverick? If someone can't meet pay me money and say, hey, you're going to do this whole big show for somebody, I'd be like, hey, man, is this dangerous? they I mean, you know what? They took their money. They knew what they was getting into, man. Or maybe they didn't. Either way, what are you going to do? We thought it was dangerous. But I mostly put a blame on this fender black post because she's kind of at fault. I almost killed a one feller that was trying to get me. He was actually punching me and stuff. So I mean, dry cra it was just a couple of brothers. They were real annoying.
01:15:23
Speaker
um Anyway, it's not I'm glad you're fine. So we will not go and head into Dalton. Yeah, let's go get these people. Actor or not, I'm going to punch them in their heads. Yeah, let's do it. All right. We go together. So you guys are going to ride off further into Dalton. Yeah. So you ride off further in the dull town you can see that there are several like as you guys are kind of navigating through like as you heard the one guy say like sets um you see that there's almost kind of like
01:15:57
Speaker
a series of ah different colors of paint that are like dusting the ground a little bit, like kind of making like little trails. And you see there's an orange one that you as you get farther in the town that starts ah almost like you're at a hospital and there's like the blue strip, there's the yellow strip and the red strip or whatever. So you start to see those like these colored lines that are painted on the ground that are going off in different directions. Like there's a blue one that goes off to the right and there's a yellow one that goes off to the left and there's an orange one that goes straight. Mm hmm. Do you have any idea what those colors mean, Carter? I feel like there's a black person is trying to put us on some damn rails. Tell us where to go. Drives me. I don't like being told where to go, which I want to say. Bathy, God damn it. Which color is Bathy? Hey, all you people, which color is Bathy? And then you hear like a beautiful chorus of singing women start to sing, as you call out, where is Bathy? And you hear them start to sing like, where is Bathy?
01:16:57
Speaker
and they start doing like kind of like this kind of very cheesy, tropey, fucking like musical number. And you see probably about three women come out doing like a little dance number, like a synchronized dance number, doing like kind of like different moves and stuff like that. And you recognize one of them is, um is Bendy from the brothel. And she's like a part of like, you know, Bendy doesn't get a lot of traction. Cause I can't remember if it's Becky or Bendy, but I think it was Becky that was the bad one, right? Or this is Bendy 2.0. If I can't remember which one was the bad one, he was back. And he one of them, one of them was betraying all y'all. I think it was Becky, but I could be wrong. But by the way we're I go over there, I grab her by the the front of her little dress. I'm like, Ben, what are you doing? God damn it. Oh, hi, Mr. Cutter. You know, you and I do not get enough face to face time. You know that now you're like one of the you're like there's like A's characters, B character. See, you're like the character. Yeah, I don't get a whole lot of screen time.
01:17:56
Speaker
Yeah, I can't even, yous you all I see is a ah a blur a blur for a face. You don't even have a face. you a person What are you doing here? God damn it. We thought you were kidnapped. What? I mean, I was. um Okay.
01:18:12
Speaker
and But I'm not. Alright, well get that fanny go back to do that. Go help them rebuild that damn place they burnt down. Oh, no, that's already and then like the one woman who's dancing like Albozer a little bit and she goes, Where's Bethy? Where's Bethy? You better stop dancing right now. You see, you see like all three women just kind of like stopping with their hands up and Benny's just like, She's like, all right, you want to find bathy or not, Cutter? That's what you're here for, right? You're here for for Ishi and and and Punkenstein and and and and Bathie. Well, no one's coming for me. Not one person mentioned me. We can't die. Hey, baby, baby, baby. Hold on. Back across the aisle. I said, everybody is. I said, Bendy, Becky, Sucky, Licky. I said, oh, well, you know, like everyone.
01:19:04
Speaker
Well, ain't nobody said anything about Bendy. I didn't hear that part. So it's your word again. Sayers. That's fine. Either way. I mean, like I mean, maybe they didn't tell you. who First of all, who told you is Benton Black? That lady, I'm going to say it. Bitch, Bella. I'm going to say it to a bitch. I'm sorry, everybody that i said that. I look at Maverick Maverick. I'm sorry. I said he's getting these very foul things about in front of you. I i mean, there are pictures. I can't. I'm at the end of my day. I agree with your dad. And Bendy, you don't want to be a bitch.
01:19:36
Speaker
She she ah she and the three girls like like grab ahold of the robes that they're wearing and they immediately rip them off and they have like armor on underneath like old like fucking fashion like ye olde armor on and they all pull out like these fucking these these short swords and bendy bendy looks at you and points her sword at your sword she goes I'm a hundred percent that bitch Ben, what the hell?
01:20:05
Speaker
and vendi of the What are you going to do, Ben, to kill me? ah I haven't thought that far yet, Mr. Cutter, but don't think I won't. Which one of these arrows points to Bathie? Everybody, as so what, the only people that really is in trouble is Bathie, the deranged doctor, who I'm knocking out. but What do you think, Matt? Are we even worried about him? I mean, apparently he's part of this. They said he's got something to do with it, too. um The bird, the bird and the girl, where are they at? Which one? yeah You'll have to follow the lines to find out, Cutter. What lines? The lines on the ground. What are you, blind old man? Multiple lines. You don't want to tell us which ones, which ones, which bird or bathy. At least tell us which one's pungency. We can avoid the hell out of that one. Oh.
01:20:51
Speaker
Well, then ah don't go to the blue one. That's where he is. Oh, he's ah he's and he's definitely not the blue one. And let's go down the blue path. I don't know. Your way. I don't even care. Let's go down the war. What do you say? and Let's let's just ignore those people and just let's just check them all together. And I'm saying, yeah. Bendy, please go back to town. You're probably going to get killed out here by somebody that ain't me. She's like, I don't think you understand, Mr. Cutter. ah This is part of the show and you are supposed to be in a sword fight right now and we are they who you should be fighting.
The Fight Scene and Vansa Black's Show
01:21:25
Speaker
Mindy, I ain't going to fight you. Well, we're going to fight you and these swords hurt. Trust us, when we were practicing earlier, man, I done hit Felicia right in the ankle and that thing still bruised. She goes, yeah, it fucking hurt. Oh, my God. She's like, all right, Benny, fine. I dropped my sword. Kill me then, Bendy.
01:21:42
Speaker
Take it right to me right now. I take it cut up by his collar and pull him away. Let's go. Oh man, we got to see something here. How far is this going to go, Bendy, huh? She tries to fight you. She swings at you. Dodge. She rolls a five. You dodge out of the way. You parry just in time as she swings a sword at you and it hits the ground with a loud thud. She tries to do like an overhead swing at you and hits the fucking dirt. Bendy, you're saying this is a damn thing. You're swinging that thing real hard at me, Bendy. God damn. Yeah, I'm going to do it again. I'm going to wrestle out of my hands by the way. We're going to get to the bottom of this, Maverick. There's no time for us. We need to like fight Jarrus.
01:22:26
Speaker
Uh, so while you're doing that, uh, another one swings at you, but Maverick pulls you out of the way just in time as she swings. She tries to take out your feet. They're going to follow us, Maverick. I try and rest. We can outright them. um um I didn't say it, but I imagine it in my visual theater that I'm on foot and I jumped off to talk to them. Yeah. I assumed you did too. but I was grabbing her by the shirt. So yeah. hi yeah One rolls a 10. Jesus Christ! God damn! Which one of y'all just cut me? What is your toughness? ah Seven. All right, so they don't they they don't ah they don't get the bonus damage because it has to ace they has to raise over your over your toughness. ah They do eight damage to you.
01:23:11
Speaker
cultures That's ah how was that? do It was the one that's where it shakes you. It's it's it shakes you. So fucking like you just get one cracked across like the side is like Mavericks trying to pull you away. And this third girl just like cracks you like right on the side, maybe on the shoulder a little bit and just like just like rattles you with this fucking heavy ass short sword. I throw hands. Equal. Oh, my God. A negative one on one. Jesus, crime. And you you roll the crit fail.
01:23:43
Speaker
Oh, you also need to unshake anyway, so you couldn't have you couldn't even tried to fight even if you could. That's fine. Oh. Yeah, so that's definitely a crit fail. So you go to throw hands and just like one of them like trips you with the sword and you fall face first into the dirt like wall for even surround you and ah the ah and Benny turns to you Maverick and she says now, Mr. Maverick, you're not supposed to be in this scene. You showed up early. So you sit there and be a good boy while we sit here and we finish the scene with Cutter. All right. Cutter, I will shoot those people if you don't stop fighting them.

01:24:51
Speaker
so All right, you un-shake, you're on the ground. You see that Bendy is pointing her blade over at Maverick, yelling at him. He says he'll shoot them. What do you do? Bendy, they're going to kill Bathie. What are you doing? Oh, they ain't going to do nothing to Bathie. She's fine. and That's what they told you we just made the black she's serious.

We killed a cruelty alley. There was all bandits and ne'er-do-wells and they they I tried and want to go near kill people. But hey, they were shooting at us, too. I mean, we don't even know if Anta did the forest people thing. That was just there when we came up here to to to to get set up. That could've been someone else for all we know. Well what the hell is going to happen here, Benny? Am I going to kill you? Are you going to kill me? What the hell, huh? No, I'm not allowed to kill you. that You're just supposed to sword fight me.

01:26:34
Speaker
All right. Well, I pushed Bendy there. I won. She's really. That's it. That's what you're going to give me after all the this work I've been putting in. How I hit the microphone. I was i was mining. picking my arm I pick up my sword. yeah That's all you get, Bendy. I climb on the horse. Yeah. Oh, well, but you can't just. We're going to be in so much trouble if we don't finish this. No, you ain't. You got your money. Tell them, uh, look, just fall over. Look, I point my sword at her. Bang. ah a She like, she grabs, she grabs her chest and falls over. It's acting bendy. Do every damn you can make up whatever you want to play. My gun. My sword has bullets in it. Now I got you.

01:27:21
Speaker

So just play along, please Okay, man. I can't believe I had to kill Bendy just now Maverick With my gun that shoots bullets. I mean my sword that is also a gun You know, I really want a SWANO that shoots bullets. well Well, wait, we'll make it out of this map or maybe we'll get one. And I say to Benny, it's improv, Benny. Just go along with it. Yes, I am. My sword has a gun on it now. All right. I can't believe I've been slain by a gun sword. and I'm a dirty fighter. I'll bring a gun sword to a sword fight. All right. Let's get the hell out of here, remember? And then as you guys go to ride away, you hear like a bunch of drums started to be beaten like.
01:28:16
Speaker
ding Then you kind of hear like some some liars playing and that's L Y R E not L I A R. um Like playing off like keep and like just like all of a sudden you just feel like a cacophony of horns blowing out into the background. And then somehow you hear echoing over all of this scenery. For the final quietest. It's so quiet, even though that's like instruments playing. Huh? Uh, it's just like kind of funny that there was like a silence, you know, like there's like this big composite scene, like ah with instruments and everything. Did I say there was a silence? Did I say the wrong word? No, there was an actual silence in the record. Other than actual silence. Yeah, because I was trying to think of, you know, if I cared to do more post, I would put an actual music in here. Maybe I'll send it to Justin and he can do that. But like. um
01:29:06
Speaker
But yeah, so like this cacophony of music starts to play. This actually sounds a lot like the opening to Dungeon Dive, Inc. But with a lot more horns playing and less of a guy dying at the end. um but As you hear these horns blaring off in the background, you hear these string instruments start to go off. You hear these drums kind of like rattling the ground beneath you. And then like throughout the land, you hear an echo and you hear, well, it's about time. Y'all are gonna be meeting me sooner or later, but I just want to introduce myself, you know, as a disembodied voice to y'all. I'm Vansa Black, and welcome to my show.
01:30:27
Speaker
well does it look good already
01:30:53
Speaker
