Introduction and Mental Health Advisory
00:00:01
Speaker
Let's Play Pretend is an explicit podcast with the use of violence, gore, and foul language.
00:00:07
Speaker
Listener discretion is advised.
00:00:08
Speaker
This is not a show for children.
00:00:13
Speaker
Here on Let's Play Pretend, we want to take mental health very seriously.
00:00:16
Speaker
We like to use this game as a little escape mechanism for ourselves.
00:00:21
Speaker
But if you or someone you know is struggling, please call or text 988.
00:00:26
Speaker
There will always be someone on the other end of that line willing to talk to you, willing to listen to you, and is there because they want to help you.
00:00:35
Speaker
365 days a year, 24 hours a day.
00:00:36
Speaker
Please, take care of yourselves.
00:00:42
Speaker
That way we can all take care of each other.
00:00:44
Speaker
Let's play pretend.

Let's play pretend.
Meet the Hosts
00:01:13
Speaker
Hello everybody and welcome back to Let's Play Pretend.
00:01:17
Speaker
My name is Jordan Derringer and I am your GM, DM, keeper, handler, and host and I am fucking getting better at that.
00:01:27
Speaker
So before I ruin it, let's throw it over to Nick Barnett.
00:01:30
Speaker
Fun fact about Ned, he likes to spend money on unnecessary sharpening stones.
00:01:35
Speaker
I don't sharpen my knives, I just like to have the stones.
00:01:39
Speaker
So you just have a whole bunch of basically wet stones for nothing.
00:01:44
Speaker
I don't judge you, God.
00:01:45
Speaker
You don't judge me.
00:01:46
Speaker
That's fair.
00:01:47
Speaker
And we have Breck Black.
00:01:49
Speaker
I did not have a fun Ryan fact set up because I did not know we were doing that.
00:01:53
Speaker
Yeah, I feel a little...
00:01:55
Speaker
A little side swiped by those here.
00:01:59
Speaker
Just come up with something on the spot, Brick.
00:02:02
Speaker
Improv.
00:02:02
Speaker
That's what this game is all about.
00:02:04
Speaker
Fun fact about Ryan, he is missing all the hair on the back of his hands from playing with fire too much.
00:02:12
Speaker
That sounds like it would be painful.
00:02:16
Speaker
I said it because I didn't have hair on the back of my hands for probably until I got out of high school.
00:02:21
Speaker
From playing with fire too much?
00:02:23
Speaker
Possibly.
00:02:25
Speaker
To be fair, wasn't that only like four years ago?
00:02:30
Speaker
God damn, we're old as shit.
00:02:34
Speaker
Breck, I want you to know, Breck, my 15 year anniversary is next year.
00:02:42
Speaker
Jordan, why would you say such devilish things?
00:02:46
Speaker
Because it's the truth.
00:02:47
Speaker
Shut the fuck up.
00:02:48
Speaker
I don't want to know about it.
00:02:49
Speaker
Nick's 15 year anniversary is this year.
00:02:52
Speaker
Fight me.
00:02:55
Speaker
Hey, to be fair, I'm just about 25.
00:02:57
Speaker
Give me like two months.
00:02:59
Speaker
Shut up.
00:03:00
Speaker
I'm going to be 33 this year.
00:03:03
Speaker
I feel so old whenever you're here.
00:03:05
Speaker
Man,
Character Traits and Small Talk
00:03:06
Speaker
I'm really going to have to lengthen this intro.
00:03:10
Speaker
That being said, we have the one member that has been quiet this entire time, Mr. Matt Check.
00:03:17
Speaker
Hello.
00:03:19
Speaker
A little, uh...
00:03:21
Speaker
Arthur, fun fact, he's trained himself to vigilantly keep his eyes open when he sleeps.
00:03:29
Speaker
Thus is the ninja way that no one can sneak up on me.
00:03:33
Speaker
For some reason, that fact about Arthur does not surprise me.
00:03:38
Speaker
No, no, well okay.
00:03:40
Speaker
Not in the slightest.
00:03:41
Speaker
I thought I'd try to choose something weird that was definitely something that I had locked and loaded and not had something I had to think of on the spot when you suggested it.
00:03:51
Speaker
But I mean you play a weird character so it's fitting.
00:03:55
Speaker
Yeah, good thing I'm not weird.
00:04:00
Speaker
You're funny.
00:04:01
Speaker
You're a funny, funny man.
00:04:04
Speaker
And that being said, we have Miss Melanie Derringer.
00:04:06
Speaker
Mrs. Melanie Derringer.
00:04:07
Speaker
I don't know why I said Miss.
00:04:08
Speaker
Mrs. Melanie Derringer, my wife.
00:04:10
Speaker
Samantha collects squishmallows and nobody knows.
00:04:14
Speaker
What's her favorite one?
00:04:16
Speaker
AJ has it.
00:04:16
Speaker
I can't think of what it is.
00:04:18
Speaker
It's the little one that you bought him.
00:04:20
Speaker
Oh, God, I can't think of what it is either.
00:04:22
Speaker
It's like a little chameleon thing.
00:04:23
Speaker
The only two of his I can think of is the dragon and the stitch.
00:04:28
Speaker
There we go.
00:04:29
Speaker
It's a little chameleon looking one.
00:04:33
Speaker
I don't remember what its name is.
00:04:34
Speaker
I know they all have names, but... Well, anyway, that was our intro.
00:04:38
Speaker
Do you guys have any small
Episode Recap and Suspense
00:04:39
Speaker
talk you want to get out of the way before we get into the show?
00:04:45
Speaker
I learned how to use a whetstone.
00:04:48
Speaker
No, you didn't.
00:04:49
Speaker
That's why you just keep buying new ones.
00:04:51
Speaker
No, no, I had time here.
00:04:53
Speaker
I figured it out.
00:04:54
Speaker
It was a long intro.
00:04:56
Speaker
I mean, you did have time.
00:04:58
Speaker
No, I've got nothing else to say.
00:05:00
Speaker
Yeah, I'm blank.
00:05:03
Speaker
Okay.
00:05:04
Speaker
Well, with that, let's hop right into the episode then.
00:05:08
Speaker
Last episode was super eventful.
00:05:11
Speaker
You guys got from the treehouse to the ground.
00:05:20
Speaker
Shit went down.
00:05:21
Speaker
That's what I wrote in my notebook.
00:05:25
Speaker
To be fair, yes, shit did indeed, as the youngsters would say.
00:05:29
Speaker
Hold on, Jor.
00:05:31
Speaker
Our heat just kicked on.
00:05:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:33
Speaker
So give it a second because it just came through your microphone.
00:05:39
Speaker
I mean, the heat's going to be going for a while.
00:05:41
Speaker
I know, but like, give it a half a second to figure shit out because it was going over what you were trying to say.
00:05:51
Speaker
Yeah, you're good now.
00:05:52
Speaker
Its initial startup was quite loud.
00:05:53
Speaker
I thought it was like eerie background music.
00:05:55
Speaker
You should be good now.
00:06:00
Speaker
So I'm good now then?
00:06:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:03
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:05
Speaker
Yes, as you say, shit did indeed go down.
00:06:12
Speaker
You guys started off with slow motion watching your friends...
00:06:19
Speaker
body fall.
00:06:22
Speaker
I was trying to come up with a good way to say, you know, head twisted, all that.
00:06:26
Speaker
I couldn't come up with one.
00:06:27
Speaker
So her body fell, hit the table, all the contents of the bowl flew across the room.
00:06:32
Speaker
You guys tried to attack Chris and he pretty effortlessly just pushed you aside before clapping his hands together and putting out all the lights and completely disappearing.
00:06:44
Speaker
Samantha in a hysteria
00:06:48
Speaker
scooted across the floor and tried to just hold Ashley's body while she tried to figure everything out to find out Ashley's body was gone.
00:07:01
Speaker
All of a sudden, you guys, after you have a minute to collect yourselves, you hear what sounds like metal groaning off in the distance, followed by thumps.
00:07:10
Speaker
What you can only assume is something very big walking out in the distance.
00:07:15
Speaker
You look out the window and you do see a shape moving above the trees, although from this distance you can't really discern what that shape is.
00:07:22
Speaker
At this point...
00:07:24
Speaker
Arthur and Ned go down the ladder because they are wanting to grab something from the cars after the discovery has been made that the cars look like they have all been rusted over and vines have begun to grow around them.
00:07:40
Speaker
We had a split from the party.
00:07:42
Speaker
I will not describe this part because things happen that were private scenes.
00:07:47
Speaker
Once the party got back together, I'm very tongue-tied today.
00:07:51
Speaker
Once the party got back together at the bottom of the ladder, you guys still heard the groaning and thudding.
00:07:59
Speaker
Seemed like it was coming your way.
00:08:02
Speaker
And then you got a very strange text message that had a picture of Ashley alive and well with what seemed to be a brick wall behind her with the caption that said, I don't know where I am.
00:08:15
Speaker
Please help me.
00:08:18
Speaker
And that's where we
Escape from the Walking Water Tower
00:08:19
Speaker
are right now.
00:08:22
Speaker
Samantha's going to immediately try and call Ashley.
00:08:27
Speaker
You immediately try to call Ashley and it goes straight to voicemail.
00:08:34
Speaker
Hey, Sam, how good is she with technology?
00:08:38
Speaker
She got that whole GPS pinpoint location thing on?
00:08:42
Speaker
She might.
00:08:44
Speaker
I don't know how to look that up.
00:08:46
Speaker
Any of y'all able to check that real quick?
00:08:49
Speaker
Are you trying to figure out if she has like find my iPhone or something like that?
00:08:55
Speaker
Yes.
00:08:56
Speaker
That was Melanie asking that.
00:08:58
Speaker
Samantha.
00:08:59
Speaker
I'm a staying character.
00:09:00
Speaker
It makes it easier and I don't mess it up because I've had to re-record a few of my own lines because I done messed up.
00:09:08
Speaker
Arthur's got computer science 40.
00:09:13
Speaker
So that means something.
00:09:16
Speaker
To be fair, if we're breaking the fourth wall here, I got SIGINT.
00:09:21
Speaker
Can I roll to see if she's got, like, location on her phone?
00:09:26
Speaker
I don't know if that would really be signal intelligence, though.
00:09:29
Speaker
That would... I was actually going to call for a computer science roll before Matt said it.
00:09:36
Speaker
You're not really looking at a signal.
00:09:38
Speaker
You're trying to see if she has...
00:09:41
Speaker
something on her phone on.
00:09:45
Speaker
You tell me what to roll, God.
00:09:47
Speaker
I can't really fight for that.
00:09:49
Speaker
I think you're gonna have to roll computer science.
00:09:51
Speaker
Can I help him?
00:09:53
Speaker
I mean, you can roll your own computer science too, yeah.
00:09:56
Speaker
That's fine.
00:09:56
Speaker
Okay.
00:09:57
Speaker
Is that a thing?
00:09:58
Speaker
Yeah, computer science.
00:10:02
Speaker
I got a 37 on a 40.
00:10:02
Speaker
I got a 47 on a 40.
00:10:07
Speaker
Perfect.
00:10:07
Speaker
So you look to see if she is sharing her location and she is not indeed sharing her location, but you do know where to look for it.
00:10:15
Speaker
So good job, Ned.
00:10:18
Speaker
Hey, every day you learn something new, it's a good day.
00:10:21
Speaker
Man, it's hard to stay positive right now, y'all.
00:10:24
Speaker
It is.
00:10:26
Speaker
I wasn't talking to you, God.
00:10:28
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:10:29
Speaker
You done messed up the world.
00:10:31
Speaker
So, hey, y'all, I think Sam had the best of it.
00:10:35
Speaker
He's talking to God again.
00:10:37
Speaker
Arthur, you talk to aliens.
00:10:38
Speaker
I think we're all right.
00:10:39
Speaker
Hey, they're called grays.
00:10:42
Speaker
Now is not the time for you two to be bickering.
00:10:46
Speaker
Yeah, I think Sam's right.
00:10:48
Speaker
Samantha, roll me alertness.
00:10:50
Speaker
Alertness?
00:10:51
Speaker
Yep.
00:10:52
Speaker
Hold on, I gotta pull my character sheet up.
00:10:54
Speaker
Fuck.
00:10:55
Speaker
Too far.
00:10:56
Speaker
The whole time you guys are talking about this, Ryan is just shutting off his phone and putting it away, seeing that it's at 9%.
00:11:02
Speaker
Fuck.
00:11:02
Speaker
That's a 95 out of 62.
00:11:09
Speaker
Oh.
00:11:13
Speaker
Okay, continue the scene.
00:11:14
Speaker
Shut the fuck up.
00:11:15
Speaker
I don't like that.
00:11:18
Speaker
Y'all, I think we ought to beat feet.
00:11:20
Speaker
We were heading over to Arthur's, right?
00:11:21
Speaker
He's got the closest house to here.
00:11:25
Speaker
Yeah, that was the plan.
00:11:27
Speaker
All right, let's just beat feet over that away.
00:11:31
Speaker
Before you're even able to move, you guys were so into your conversation that you did not hear that the groaning and stomping was getting even closer.
00:11:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:41
Speaker
And before you are able to move, you see a giant metal leg stomp down in front of you and absolutely crush Ryan's car as this thing walks through where you guys are currently at.
00:12:02
Speaker
Go, go, go, go, go.
00:12:04
Speaker
We need to go.
00:12:04
Speaker
Go, go, go.
00:12:06
Speaker
I need everybody to roll me a sanity check.
00:12:09
Speaker
As you look up and you see that it is indeed the water tower that is walking.
00:12:15
Speaker
25 out of 45.
00:12:18
Speaker
Oh no.
00:12:18
Speaker
Oh no.
00:12:22
Speaker
It's just a water tower, guys.
00:12:25
Speaker
What's my sanity?
00:12:26
Speaker
Please tell me my sanity is...
00:12:29
Speaker
89 on a 72.
00:12:29
Speaker
Why can't I scroll?
00:12:32
Speaker
Why won't I let me scroll?
00:12:33
Speaker
Hold on.
00:12:34
Speaker
God damn it.
00:12:35
Speaker
I got a 70 on a 69.
00:12:36
Speaker
Hold on.
00:12:40
Speaker
I can't find my sanity.
00:12:47
Speaker
Hey, Jordan.
00:12:48
Speaker
Can I roll a 1d4 minus 1 for my sanity?
00:12:52
Speaker
It's going to be a 1d4 plus one, actually.
00:12:54
Speaker
82 out of 67.
00:12:58
Speaker
Cool.
00:12:59
Speaker
So, Arthur, you go ahead and you just take one sanity damage.
00:13:03
Speaker
Everybody else roll a d4 and add one to your roll.
00:13:06
Speaker
That's two.
00:13:11
Speaker
Right, right.
00:13:11
Speaker
That's the sanity points.
00:13:13
Speaker
That's what we're rolling against.
00:13:14
Speaker
Yes.
00:13:15
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:17
Speaker
What am I rolling?
00:13:19
Speaker
You roll a D4 and add one to the number and that's how much sanity damage you're taking.
00:13:23
Speaker
These dice are about to go dice jail.
00:13:26
Speaker
I'm just saying I failed that check.
00:13:32
Speaker
Fuck, that's five for me too.
00:13:36
Speaker
Alright.
00:13:38
Speaker
So, that being said, I need both Ryan and Samantha to list fight,
00:13:47
Speaker
flight or faint in what order is most likely to least likely in this situation Samantha will flight first she's not fighting flight and then what faint and then run
00:14:06
Speaker
Okay, so... Or no.
00:14:08
Speaker
Flight, faint, and then fight?
00:14:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:11
Speaker
Good.
00:14:13
Speaker
Okay, Samantha, so go ahead and roll me a d6.
00:14:16
Speaker
If you roll a 1, 2, or 3, you will flee.
00:14:19
Speaker
A 4 or 5, you will faint.
00:14:21
Speaker
And a 6, you will turn around and try to fight this thing.
00:14:24
Speaker
Oh god, don't be stupid, Sam.
00:14:27
Speaker
Don't be stupid.
00:14:30
Speaker
She's gonna be stupid.
00:14:33
Speaker
You seriously rolled a six?
00:14:34
Speaker
I am dead serious.
00:14:37
Speaker
I rolled a fucking six.
00:14:39
Speaker
Oh no.
00:14:40
Speaker
Dice jail.
00:14:42
Speaker
All of you.
00:14:45
Speaker
And then Ryan, I need you to list it too.
00:14:48
Speaker
Ryan will do flight, then faint, then fight.
00:14:55
Speaker
Okay, so on a one, two, or three, you will run.
00:14:59
Speaker
On a four or five, you will pass out.
00:15:01
Speaker
On a six, you will turn around and try to help Samantha fight this giant metal leg in front of you.
00:15:09
Speaker
She's an idiot.
00:15:10
Speaker
That's a one.
00:15:17
Speaker
That is a one.
00:15:18
Speaker
What?
00:15:19
Speaker
Yes.
00:15:19
Speaker
I said, did you just burp?
00:15:20
Speaker
I did.
00:15:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:21
Speaker
I heard that from up here.
00:15:23
Speaker
Sorry.
00:15:23
Speaker
That's why I muted.
00:15:25
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:25
Speaker
So the leg hits, you guys look up and see it's a water tower.
00:15:33
Speaker
Samantha's first instinct because of all the absolute crazy shit that's been happening is just to say, no, you know what?
00:15:42
Speaker
Fuck this and attack the water tower as Ryan, upon seeing his car get smashed by this leg, nopes the fuck out of there.
00:15:53
Speaker
So Samantha, I need you to roll an attack against the water tower, I guess.
00:16:02
Speaker
Do I need to take my headphones off since Ryan literally turned on his heel and sprinted into the woods?
00:16:08
Speaker
That depends on what Arthur and Ned are going to do.
00:16:14
Speaker
Do you want them to answer first before I tell you what I'm going to be doing?
00:16:19
Speaker
I mean, either way, they're going to see you swinging at the water tower, so they won't have to take their headphones off for this.
00:16:26
Speaker
But I might need you, Melanie, to take your headphones off depending on how this scene plays out.
00:16:33
Speaker
So, Ned and Arthur, what are you going to do?
00:16:37
Speaker
I want to grab Samantha and try to drag her away from a fruitless fight.
00:16:43
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:44
Speaker
Give me a contested roll.
00:16:49
Speaker
I am going to have... What type of roll?
00:16:54
Speaker
Well, I'm looking real quick.
00:16:55
Speaker
I'm going to have Arthur roll a...
00:17:00
Speaker
Is there a way for me and Arthur to be doing this together?
00:17:03
Speaker
Because if I remember right, she was the first person in the marching order.
00:17:07
Speaker
So she would have to turn around and run past all of us to run back towards them cars.
00:17:13
Speaker
Yeah, we could do that.
00:17:15
Speaker
So is how do you want me and Arthur to be like, nope, nope, nope.
00:17:20
Speaker
You can both roll unarmed combat versus her dodge.
00:17:33
Speaker
Damn.
00:17:33
Speaker
45 out of 40.
00:17:36
Speaker
51 out of 50.
00:17:37
Speaker
You know what?
00:17:39
Speaker
I'm going to spend one luck point to make that a 50 out of 50.
00:17:44
Speaker
That's a 7 out of 40.
00:17:47
Speaker
Fuck.
00:17:49
Speaker
The one time I get a good fucking roll, it's when I were trying to fucking save my life, but... No, that doesn't matter, because Nick rolled higher while still succeeding.
00:18:02
Speaker
When you do a contested rule, it's the Price is Right rules.
00:18:07
Speaker
So actually Nick won that contest.
00:18:10
Speaker
I don't understand how that works, but okay.
00:18:13
Speaker
I was closer to my number than you were to your number.
00:18:16
Speaker
It's the highest without going
Strategic Choices and Teamwork
00:18:20
Speaker
over it.
00:18:21
Speaker
So since I spent one luck point, I got exactly my number.
00:18:24
Speaker
Which we did it actually incorrect in one of the episodes where I had Ned and Ryan roll because it is whoever gets the higher number without going over their number.
00:18:36
Speaker
So if your number, Melanie, we'll say was in a 30 and Nick's was at a 70, he would automatically have a much easier chance to beat you because if he rolled anything from a 31 to a 70, he would beat you.
00:18:50
Speaker
Oh...
00:18:54
Speaker
So we did that wrong a couple episodes ago, but that's fine.
00:18:57
Speaker
We know now.
00:18:58
Speaker
So as you go to swing at this water tower, you are screaming.
00:19:05
Speaker
You are crying.
00:19:06
Speaker
You are just a complete mess right now because your friend is dead.
00:19:13
Speaker
Everything is weird.
00:19:14
Speaker
The fucking water tower is walking across the fucking town and you've just had it.
00:19:21
Speaker
And you go to attack, and as you do, your fist is raised up, you're ready to go.
00:19:28
Speaker
Ned grabs you around the waist and just gets you into a bear hug.
00:19:32
Speaker
And what do you say, Ned?
00:19:34
Speaker
Oh, no, no, no.
00:19:35
Speaker
You ain't fighting no goddamn water tower.
00:19:37
Speaker
I like a good scrap, but we gotta go.
00:19:40
Speaker
Everybody, go, go, go.
00:19:41
Speaker
Follow Ryan.
00:19:46
Speaker
All right.
00:19:48
Speaker
And Samantha, I'm guessing you just let it happen.
00:19:52
Speaker
Yeah, she she kind of comes out of her little bit of a manic state and just kind of agrees with him and then takes off with them.
00:20:04
Speaker
I'll say you kick and scream all you want, little girl.
00:20:06
Speaker
I'm gonna carry you until we're out of harm's way.
00:20:09
Speaker
Okay, so in that case, I'm not going to make anybody take off their headphones because you guys are just going to be basically a couple paces behind Ryan.
00:20:17
Speaker
So I do want you all to roll me an alertness check, though.
00:20:23
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:20:29
Speaker
I got a one.
00:20:32
Speaker
I got 21 on a 21.
00:20:34
Speaker
Ooh, I got a 21 out of a 27.
00:20:37
Speaker
Nice.
00:20:38
Speaker
I got a 20 out of a 60.
00:20:42
Speaker
Nice.
00:20:43
Speaker
So you all pass.
00:20:46
Speaker
As you are running away, you cannot believe what you're seeing.
00:20:50
Speaker
You turn around and you look back up at the water tower right before you finally run away.
00:20:55
Speaker
And you notice a giant eye looking down at you from the water tower.
00:21:01
Speaker
What the fuck is that thing?
00:21:06
Speaker
You tell me what you're saying.
00:21:07
Speaker
I'm just keep running.
00:21:08
Speaker
It's a fucking giant eye.
00:21:09
Speaker
Yeah, I ain't gonna look at it.
00:21:11
Speaker
I'm gonna run.
00:21:12
Speaker
You can put me down anytime.
00:21:14
Speaker
I can run a little bit faster.
00:21:15
Speaker
Nope, nope.
00:21:16
Speaker
That would require me to stop.
00:21:17
Speaker
Ain't happening.
00:21:18
Speaker
Ned, put me the fuck down.
00:21:21
Speaker
I drop her.
00:21:25
Speaker
You drop her mid-run?
00:21:28
Speaker
Absolutely, that's what she told me to do and I told her I wouldn't go stop Okay, Melanie I need you to roll me a dexterity check to see if you're able to stay on your feet Okay, first of all how were you carrying her?
00:21:44
Speaker
Was she over your shoulder or were you just like bear hugging and running with her?
00:21:48
Speaker
I would like to think I picked you up like around the waist and threw you over to where like your stomach was on my shoulder and you just had your arms and head behind me
00:21:58
Speaker
So not quite a firefighter run, or not quite a firefighter carry, but pretty close.
00:22:03
Speaker
No, I didn't swing her around.
00:22:04
Speaker
I just grabbed her like I was a football player and didn't want to put him down.
00:22:07
Speaker
Perfect.
00:22:08
Speaker
Okay, so I just roll the percentiles for dexterity as well, or how does that one work?
00:22:16
Speaker
Yes.
00:22:16
Speaker
Yep, you roll your percentile against your dexterity.
00:22:19
Speaker
Oh, son of a bitch.
00:22:19
Speaker
This isn't going to go well because my dexterity is only a 15.
00:22:27
Speaker
That's a 78.
00:22:29
Speaker
Your dexterity should be more than 15.
00:22:32
Speaker
Yeah, it'd be... Isn't it times 5?
00:22:37
Speaker
Yeah, it's times 5.
00:22:39
Speaker
So it'd be 75.
00:22:41
Speaker
Oh.
00:22:41
Speaker
Well, I still failed.
00:22:43
Speaker
It's a 78 out of a 75.
00:22:46
Speaker
Perfect.
00:22:48
Speaker
Oh, nuts.
00:22:49
Speaker
So as Ned drops you, like you requested...
00:22:54
Speaker
I'm so sorry.
00:22:55
Speaker
Dad, you're a fucking asshole.
00:22:58
Speaker
Hey, you said it.
00:23:00
Speaker
Your feet hit the ground and you twist your ankle and fall to the ground.
00:23:05
Speaker
I'm not going to make you take any damage, but you are.
00:23:10
Speaker
We'll use D&D terms here.
00:23:11
Speaker
You are prone right now.
00:23:14
Speaker
I am just at a loss for words right now.
00:23:20
Speaker
Ned and Arthur and Ryan.
00:23:23
Speaker
Roll me an alertness to check.
00:23:29
Speaker
21 on a 27.
00:23:32
Speaker
Damn, twice in a row.
00:23:33
Speaker
Nice.
00:23:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:35
Speaker
The tower likes me.
00:23:37
Speaker
Aught five on a 21.
00:23:39
Speaker
That is a 58 on a 60.
00:23:41
Speaker
58 on a 60.
00:23:43
Speaker
You all noticed that Samantha hit the ground.
00:23:46
Speaker
She is not running behind you right now.
00:23:49
Speaker
Samantha, get up.
00:23:52
Speaker
I run over and try to like have her get her back on her feet.
00:23:57
Speaker
Come on, Arthur.
00:23:58
Speaker
I'll grab the left side.
00:23:59
Speaker
You grab the right side.
00:23:59
Speaker
We'll just carry her.
00:24:00
Speaker
Let's get the fuck out of here.
00:24:03
Speaker
Oh, Ned, you're lucky.
00:24:04
Speaker
And she wraps her arms around either one of them and starts like hobbling with them.
00:24:10
Speaker
I imagine like I have my right hand behind her back.
00:24:14
Speaker
And Arthur, do you have your hand around her back also?
00:24:16
Speaker
Yeah, like carrying her in like recliner position.
00:24:20
Speaker
I will say that you didn't like completely fuck up your ankle.
00:24:26
Speaker
It was just you kind of landed weird and fell because of it.
00:24:29
Speaker
After a few steps, you're able to kind of run through the pain.
00:24:33
Speaker
Hold on.
00:24:34
Speaker
Hold on.
00:24:36
Speaker
Child's moving.
00:24:41
Speaker
We're good.
00:24:42
Speaker
Oh, AJ, we're busy.
00:24:43
Speaker
You're trying not to die from a water tower.
00:24:47
Speaker
Yeah, child.
00:24:50
Speaker
No, we're good.
00:24:51
Speaker
So you said that Sam, I might just carry you the rest of the way.
00:24:54
Speaker
Arthur, you got this with me, right?
00:24:56
Speaker
If you're going to carry me, you're going to at least put me on your back like a fucking piggyback ride.
00:25:01
Speaker
Yeah, you can do that.
00:25:04
Speaker
Samantha, since you are not currently running, I want you to roll me one more alertness check.
00:25:14
Speaker
It's a 30.
00:25:19
Speaker
I think my alertness is like 62.
00:25:21
Speaker
Yeah, your alertness is way higher than 30.
00:25:23
Speaker
Yeah, it's 30 out of 62.
00:25:25
Speaker
You notice as you look back at the water tower, it's just continuing its path.
00:25:31
Speaker
It does not give an absolute fuck that you guys were there.
00:25:36
Speaker
So it's not chasing us?
00:25:37
Speaker
Nope.
00:25:39
Speaker
Yeah, you guys, I think we can slow down a little bit.
00:25:43
Speaker
Basically, the way I'm seeing it in my head is it's, to put it easy, it's coming from north to south and you guys bolted off to the west and it's just still going south.
00:25:55
Speaker
That's the way in my head.
00:25:56
Speaker
Like, it just kind of crossed paths.
00:25:58
Speaker
You guys went a different way and it just kept going.
00:26:02
Speaker
We just happened to be in its way.
00:26:05
Speaker
Yes.
00:26:05
Speaker
Is the eyes searching for anything or is it just stagnant?
00:26:09
Speaker
The eyes just looking around.
00:26:13
Speaker
Like, looking for us?
00:26:16
Speaker
Has it seen us?
00:26:17
Speaker
Oh, it looked directly at you when, uh...
00:26:23
Speaker
When you fell, like right before you fell, when you were going to attack it, it looked directly at you and it just kept walking.
00:26:32
Speaker
She taps Ned on the shoulder.
00:26:35
Speaker
Hey, it's not following us, so we can slow down and still head to Arthur's.
00:26:45
Speaker
I'm just trying to keep pace with Ryan.
00:26:46
Speaker
He's still running.
00:26:47
Speaker
You holler at him and then I can slow down too.
00:26:51
Speaker
Ryan!
00:26:52
Speaker
Slut him!
00:26:55
Speaker
Fuck you!
00:26:59
Speaker
Look, Sam, I can't argue with him.
00:27:02
Speaker
That is an appropriate answer.
00:27:04
Speaker
Let's just beat feet all the way to his house.
00:27:09
Speaker
Can I check my phone
Confrontation with Carl
00:27:10
Speaker
to see if I have any signal?
00:27:13
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, you guys are currently running right now, so I will...
00:27:18
Speaker
need you to do some sort of check at disadvantage to make sure you don't run face first into a tree.
00:27:24
Speaker
But yeah, go ahead.
00:27:26
Speaker
Okay.
00:27:29
Speaker
Well, what do I roll?
00:27:32
Speaker
Roll me a I don't want to say alertness because I use alertness a lot.
00:27:41
Speaker
What about Dexter?
00:27:43
Speaker
Yeah, you know what?
00:27:43
Speaker
Yeah, roll me a Dex.
00:27:52
Speaker
78 out of 80.
00:27:54
Speaker
Perfect.
00:27:55
Speaker
So yes, you are able to keep up with them and check your phone.
00:27:59
Speaker
Yes, you do have service.
00:28:01
Speaker
I want to call my brother Carl.
00:28:04
Speaker
Okay.
00:28:05
Speaker
Carl.
00:28:07
Speaker
You call your brother Carl and it goes straight to voicemail.
00:28:10
Speaker
God damn it.
00:28:11
Speaker
I'm going to try to call my mom.
00:28:17
Speaker
Okay.
00:28:17
Speaker
Darlene.
00:28:20
Speaker
I like how you added the extra E on that.
00:28:22
Speaker
Yeah, it's three E's.
00:28:27
Speaker
Those parents trying to come up with unique names by just making weird spellings of normal names.
00:28:33
Speaker
Right.
00:28:35
Speaker
You call your mother Darlene, and it goes straight to voicemail.
00:28:39
Speaker
God damn it.
00:28:44
Speaker
I want to put my phone back, check my battery before, see what it's at.
00:28:51
Speaker
What was it at when you started this?
00:28:53
Speaker
I don't remember.
00:28:55
Speaker
Oh, uh, 85.
00:28:58
Speaker
That is correct.
00:28:59
Speaker
You didn't write it down.
00:29:00
Speaker
I did.
00:29:01
Speaker
I just forgot where I put it.
00:29:02
Speaker
I didn't, I didn't signify anything.
00:29:03
Speaker
I just wrote 85.
00:29:04
Speaker
All right.
00:29:06
Speaker
Change it to 84.
00:29:08
Speaker
Fuck.
00:29:13
Speaker
I shouldn't have told God that I was having messy notes.
00:29:20
Speaker
Well, I was going to make you lose a percent anyway, but as we start slowing down, I'm going to drop.
00:29:26
Speaker
I'm going to let Sam down.
00:29:27
Speaker
So you better not fucking drop me again.
00:29:29
Speaker
Samantha, roll a dexterity roll.
00:29:32
Speaker
I'm kidding.
00:29:32
Speaker
I'm kidding.
00:29:33
Speaker
That's a joke.
00:29:34
Speaker
I'm going to kind of keep her with her arm around my shoulder.
00:29:37
Speaker
I'm going to kind of swing her down so that she can start kind of keeping pace with me as I let her down.
00:29:43
Speaker
Okay.
00:29:44
Speaker
I will say at this point, you guys are far enough away that, Ryan, you can slow down if you would like to.
00:29:52
Speaker
Do I still hear it stomping?
00:29:55
Speaker
It is more in the distance now.
00:29:57
Speaker
You guys have made some pretty good headway away from it, and plus the fact that it is stomping in a different direction.
00:30:07
Speaker
It sounds like it's further away again.
00:30:09
Speaker
All right.
00:30:10
Speaker
He'll slow down to a light jog.
00:30:14
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:18
Speaker
Ryan?
00:30:22
Speaker
Yeah?
00:30:23
Speaker
Look, man.
00:30:24
Speaker
That was a little much, man.
00:30:27
Speaker
I had to use a lot to keep up with you.
00:30:28
Speaker
You think we can take a breather real quick and even get rid of this little jog you got going on?
00:30:35
Speaker
You can see the water tower with a fucking eyeball.
00:30:38
Speaker
We need to keep running, dude.
00:30:40
Speaker
It's not following us.
00:30:42
Speaker
So it's over there.
00:30:44
Speaker
We're all down.
00:30:45
Speaker
But what else is there?
00:30:48
Speaker
There could be something else out there.
00:30:50
Speaker
We don't know.
00:30:51
Speaker
We should not be exposed on the streets.
00:30:55
Speaker
We're in the woods.
00:30:58
Speaker
Ryan, real quick, I want you to made out.
00:31:01
Speaker
I want you to roll me in athletics at a negative ten.
00:31:05
Speaker
Bitch, tomatoes sound really good right now.
00:31:07
Speaker
Fuck you, Matt.
00:31:12
Speaker
That is a 27 on a modified 50.
00:31:17
Speaker
Your athletics is 60?
00:31:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:20
Speaker
Holy shit.
00:31:22
Speaker
Okay.
00:31:24
Speaker
I will say for a smoker, you were able to beat feet pretty well, and you are not really out of breath like everyone else is right now.
00:31:32
Speaker
Ryan just does a couple of hops up and down.
00:31:35
Speaker
He's like, come on, guys.
00:31:36
Speaker
I smoke two packs, you know, in a week.
00:31:39
Speaker
Shouldn't be beating you guys.
00:31:41
Speaker
Samantha's not winded.
00:31:42
Speaker
She's an athlete, so... Well, Samantha's also not winded because she got carried the entire fucking way.
00:31:50
Speaker
Speaking of that, she walks up, she gets closer to Ned, and she punches him in the arm.
00:31:57
Speaker
That's fine.
00:31:59
Speaker
I saved your life.
00:32:00
Speaker
That's okay.
00:32:02
Speaker
I was about to go.
00:32:03
Speaker
You were going to punch metal.
00:32:05
Speaker
Well, you got your tetanus shot.
00:32:09
Speaker
That's least of my concerns right now.
00:32:11
Speaker
Well, it's kind of my concern.
00:32:13
Speaker
I don't think that we're going to be able to find a hospital in this.
00:32:15
Speaker
You seen the look of them cars?
00:32:18
Speaker
A water tower just came walking through the woods and you're worried about tetanus?
00:32:26
Speaker
Not really, but I like to get through myself with a little bit of bad humor.
00:32:32
Speaker
Ned.
00:32:33
Speaker
I mean, that's fair.
00:32:34
Speaker
That's how I live my life.
00:32:37
Speaker
And it was bad, so.
00:32:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:41
Speaker
I really appreciate you.
00:32:42
Speaker
And Ryan, by the way, when your adrenaline runs out, your legs are going to hurt.
00:32:46
Speaker
You were hitting it.
00:32:49
Speaker
I doubt it.
00:32:50
Speaker
I don't.
00:32:52
Speaker
Also, you got a cigarette.
00:32:55
Speaker
Now is not the fucking time.
00:32:57
Speaker
I don't think it's the time for a whole lot of anything right now.
00:33:01
Speaker
This is the first time that Ryan has been asked that since the events happened.
00:33:05
Speaker
Ryan, roll me a luck check at a negative 40.
00:33:12
Speaker
Jesus.
00:33:13
Speaker
Feeling lucky?
00:33:14
Speaker
Your guys' luck is so fucking high, I have to put something on it to make it more even.
00:33:18
Speaker
You said negative 40?
00:33:21
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:33:21
Speaker
I rolled a 55 on a 57.
00:33:22
Speaker
Motherfucker.
00:33:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:33:32
Speaker
You do still have your cigarettes on you, and now on top of that, I want you to roll me a D20.
00:33:39
Speaker
Just a straight D20.
00:33:41
Speaker
Give me a second.
00:33:42
Speaker
I do not have one of those out.
00:33:43
Speaker
That is not a dice even I pulled out.
00:33:51
Speaker
That is a 16.
00:33:53
Speaker
Wow.
00:33:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:33:54
Speaker
You still have most of a pack.
00:33:55
Speaker
All right.
00:33:56
Speaker
I want you to keep that number handy because that is how many cigarettes you have.
00:34:03
Speaker
Yeah, Ryan kind of pats his jacket pocket on the inside where it is and pulls it out, pops it open.
00:34:09
Speaker
He's like, oh shit, it's almost a full pack.
00:34:11
Speaker
And he slides one out and hands it over to you.
00:34:14
Speaker
And then he points at you and says, don't ask for too many more.
00:34:18
Speaker
I don't know if I'm going to get more.
00:34:21
Speaker
Look, I appreciate you, man.
00:34:23
Speaker
We're going to...
00:34:25
Speaker
We're going to get through this.
00:34:26
Speaker
I don't know what the hell's going on, but there's no way this is all we got.
00:34:30
Speaker
You got your fancy eyes looking at the axe can and whatnot.
00:34:33
Speaker
I light the cigarette real quick.
00:34:40
Speaker
There's got to be a way for something to be kind of normal.
00:34:45
Speaker
We got to find something.
00:34:46
Speaker
This town might be small, but it ain't that small.
00:34:49
Speaker
Once we get back to Arthur's house and see what's going on...
00:34:54
Speaker
As much as I don't want to, I feel like we got to hit the town and we got to take a look around and we got to see if there's anything normal going on.
00:35:01
Speaker
See if anybody's still around.
00:35:04
Speaker
Yeah, well, I agree with you on that one.
00:35:06
Speaker
So, and Ryan pulls out the candles he had that he grabbed from the treehouse and starts lighting them and handing them out.
00:35:15
Speaker
Candles?
00:35:16
Speaker
Yes.
00:35:19
Speaker
Perfect.
00:35:21
Speaker
That way we're not wasting phones using flashlights because I don't know about you, but I'm at 9%.
00:35:27
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:35:30
Speaker
I'm at 84.
00:35:30
Speaker
That wasn't the most smug way to say that.
00:35:35
Speaker
I didn't even brag.
00:35:37
Speaker
Sorry.
00:35:38
Speaker
Sorry.
00:35:40
Speaker
I'm at 84, man.
00:35:41
Speaker
What are you going to do?
00:35:43
Speaker
Well, maybe if you weren't using your phone all day in school.
00:35:46
Speaker
Wow.
00:35:48
Speaker
God is mocking me.
00:35:51
Speaker
I think maybe God's wife should make him brats again.
00:35:58
Speaker
I made the brats.
00:35:59
Speaker
Thank you.
00:36:00
Speaker
I think his wife should buy the brats again.
00:36:02
Speaker
Okay.
00:36:04
Speaker
I bought the brats too, bitch.
00:36:08
Speaker
Ned, you just sound like a wannabe Valley girl.
00:36:12
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:36:13
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:36:15
Speaker
Not like you're trying to.
00:36:17
Speaker
I feel tired and this is bullshit.
00:36:21
Speaker
You're ruining my voice.
00:36:24
Speaker
I want to do an Arthur voice too.
00:36:26
Speaker
I don't know if I can do it.
00:36:30
Speaker
Guys, is this a good Arthur voice?
00:36:32
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:36:34
Speaker
I like how I can 100% tell that you plugged your nose to do that one.
00:36:38
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:36:40
Speaker
Oh my God, guys.
00:36:42
Speaker
This is harassment.
00:36:43
Speaker
I will not stand for this.
00:36:45
Speaker
But yes, that was a decent Arthur voice.
00:36:48
Speaker
Brad, would you like to take a shot at an Arthur voice?
00:36:53
Speaker
Yeah, I'd love to do an Arthur voice.
00:36:55
Speaker
I don't know how long I can do it, though.
00:36:57
Speaker
I think Breck wins.
00:37:00
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:37:01
Speaker
You know what?
00:37:02
Speaker
I loved absolutely all of those Arthur voices enough.
00:37:06
Speaker
I am going to give you each three sanity back.
00:37:15
Speaker
Oh, I'm not upset by that.
00:37:18
Speaker
Arthur, we love you.
00:37:19
Speaker
Rewarded you for bullying me.
00:37:22
Speaker
God is real after all.
00:37:25
Speaker
Did you give us sanity instead of luck?
00:37:27
Speaker
Because we all have stupid amounts of luck.
00:37:31
Speaker
So anyway, I'm with the scene.
00:37:36
Speaker
Yes, that is exactly why I gave you sanity.
00:37:39
Speaker
All right.
00:37:40
Speaker
So I just start walking towards Arthur's house.
00:37:45
Speaker
I'm in a hurry.
00:37:46
Speaker
Because none of my family members answered me.
00:37:50
Speaker
Before we go too far, I'm kind of sad it wasn't luck because that would have put me at a perfect hundred.
00:37:55
Speaker
That makes me really happy that I did sanity.
00:37:58
Speaker
Yeah, sanity done.
00:37:59
Speaker
Hey, I was going to say, you guys are going to Arthur's house.
00:38:05
Speaker
And what do you want to do?
00:38:08
Speaker
What does it look like?
00:38:10
Speaker
Are we at my house?
00:38:13
Speaker
Nothing happens to you on the way there, so you make it there with no real issues.
00:38:19
Speaker
Does it look aged?
00:38:22
Speaker
Are there cars in the driveway?
00:38:24
Speaker
There are cars in the driveway.
00:38:26
Speaker
The cars look exactly like the cars that you guys left back at the treehouse.
00:38:31
Speaker
Shit.
00:38:33
Speaker
So they're unusual.
00:38:34
Speaker
Does the house look aged or does it look like it's brand new?
00:38:40
Speaker
I will say without even making you guys roll because you're specifically looking for it, the house does also look aged.
00:38:49
Speaker
I'm going to go into my house.
00:38:51
Speaker
Okay, go ahead.
00:38:54
Speaker
I'm going to stick with Arthur.
00:38:55
Speaker
Arthur, hold on.
00:38:56
Speaker
Slow down.
00:38:56
Speaker
Slow down, man.
00:38:57
Speaker
Look, this might seem a little weird, but I have a feeling we ain't going to see nobody that we know anywhere.
00:39:07
Speaker
Look around you, man.
00:39:08
Speaker
Look at your neighbor's houses.
00:39:10
Speaker
Look at everything real quick.
00:39:12
Speaker
It's all old.
00:39:14
Speaker
Like, we ain't in whatever our world was.
00:39:18
Speaker
This is your realm.
00:39:19
Speaker
I'm going to need your help, man.
00:39:21
Speaker
We got to make sure we keep you together because you're going to keep me together.
00:39:24
Speaker
Exactly.
00:39:25
Speaker
I've got some dirty occult shit in my closet.
00:39:28
Speaker
Surely something could help us.
00:39:32
Speaker
Man, if you think there's anything left in your closet, good for you.
00:39:36
Speaker
I can't wait to see it.
00:39:38
Speaker
Let's go.
00:39:38
Speaker
I got to go to the bathroom.
00:39:41
Speaker
Ryan is going to start looking at the other houses and Arthur's house and see if there's any lights on anywhere because it should be getting pretty dark.
00:39:51
Speaker
It is indeed getting dark.
00:39:53
Speaker
It is also the night of Halloween, so you would have expected at this point if the world was still a normal place to see trick-or-treaters.
00:40:01
Speaker
You look around and all the houses in the area are also aged like Arthur's houses.
00:40:08
Speaker
You don't see lights anywhere.
00:40:12
Speaker
Sam is going to stay outside with Ryan and to keep a lookout to see if any if like the water tower comes back or if there's like any other weird shit that's coming their way.
00:40:27
Speaker
OK, so you guys are both staying outside while Ned and Arthur are going inside?
00:40:33
Speaker
Yes.
00:40:34
Speaker
Yes.
00:40:35
Speaker
OK, I need Samantha and Ryan to remove your headphones.
00:40:43
Speaker
Oh, joy.
00:40:45
Speaker
Well, hello, everybody, and welcome to the Let's Play Pretend Mid-Roll WLPP.
00:40:51
Speaker
We are here with another fan of the show, and not just a fan, but this fella here.
00:40:58
Speaker
He has his own service.
00:40:59
Speaker
This is Rainbreaker on Twitch.
00:41:03
Speaker
I'm going to go ahead and pass the mic off to him and let him go ahead and tell us a little bit about his channel.
00:41:08
Speaker
Rainbreaker, let's go!
00:41:11
Speaker
So, I am a variety streamer on Twitch.
00:41:14
Speaker
I just play whatever, mostly Resident Evil, Final Fantasy.
00:41:18
Speaker
Right now, I'm currently in the middle of playing Control, which if no one has ever played it, definitely play it.
00:41:23
Speaker
It's a great game.
00:41:25
Speaker
I've been streaming for about two years now, on and off.
00:41:29
Speaker
I usually...
00:41:31
Speaker
every other day for a couple hours.
00:41:32
Speaker
So come and check me out.
00:41:33
Speaker
We'll have a great time.
00:41:35
Speaker
Awesome.
00:41:36
Speaker
That's rain breaker.
00:41:38
Speaker
I will make sure that down below in the show notes, you will see his link and description.
00:41:44
Speaker
When you go over there, you give him a like, you give him a follow, let him know who sent you W L P P let's play pretend radio.
00:41:54
Speaker
And we're going to go ahead and get back to the show.
00:42:02
Speaker
So you guys walk into the house and things are looking fairly decrepit.
00:42:08
Speaker
They look like they have aged, but almost not as much as outside.
00:42:13
Speaker
Like, they're still aged.
00:42:14
Speaker
They're still very worn, but they don't look like they are to the point that, like, like I said, the cars looked like they were, like, a hundred years old and nature had started to retake it.
00:42:27
Speaker
It doesn't look like it's quite that bad inside, but...
00:42:32
Speaker
Things also don't quite look usable, if that makes sense.
00:42:38
Speaker
Can I do a search around my house?
00:42:42
Speaker
And since it's my house, can I get like advantage since I know my house?
00:42:47
Speaker
What's your search at?
00:42:49
Speaker
20.
00:42:51
Speaker
I'll give you a plus 20.
00:42:52
Speaker
You can have a 40.
00:42:54
Speaker
Go ahead.
00:42:54
Speaker
Roll me a search.
00:42:57
Speaker
Wait, so plus 40?
00:42:57
Speaker
Plus 20.
00:42:58
Speaker
So your number will be 40 to beat.
00:43:01
Speaker
39 out of 40.
00:43:07
Speaker
Nice.
00:43:08
Speaker
Okay, so what is it that you're searching for?
00:43:10
Speaker
I'm... I guess I'm searching for anything that I know would be useful for us in our certain situation.
00:43:18
Speaker
Like, maybe if there's, like, a baseball bat that I had that I noticed somewhere, or if there is maybe fucking duct tape or even a map that'll help us.
00:43:32
Speaker
Specifically...
00:43:33
Speaker
I want to go in my room and try to look for a cult stuff, but I feel like that would be a different role.
00:43:40
Speaker
Hey, Arthur, Arthur.
00:43:42
Speaker
What?
00:43:42
Speaker
Hey, I'm looking at your cabinets.
00:43:45
Speaker
You got any of them little weenies?
00:43:46
Speaker
Them don't go bad, do they?
00:43:49
Speaker
No, but I know about my brother Carl eats those a lot.
00:43:54
Speaker
So I keep looking around for them.
00:43:56
Speaker
Then if you check behind behind, I mean, behind the fridge, there might be a secret stash of ravioli.
00:44:06
Speaker
cans,
Search for Resources
00:44:07
Speaker
you know, those chef, whatever the hell those things are.
00:44:11
Speaker
Carl thinks he's a sly hiding food.
00:44:14
Speaker
He's that.
00:44:15
Speaker
Yeah, I'm sure he does, but I, I, thanks.
00:44:17
Speaker
Bye.
00:44:18
Speaker
I'm gonna keep looking around.
00:44:20
Speaker
Ned, are you staying in the kitchen while he, while Arthur goes to his room?
00:44:26
Speaker
That depends.
00:44:26
Speaker
Do I find any raviolis and little weenies?
00:44:29
Speaker
Well, I mean, I would have to have your role search, but are, is that your plan is to stay in there and look for that stuff while
00:44:35
Speaker
Arthur goes to look for his stuff in his room?
00:44:38
Speaker
No, I think Ned would go with him and be like, Arthur, come on, man.
00:44:42
Speaker
We need food more than we need a baseball bat.
00:44:45
Speaker
I think we need weapons.
00:44:47
Speaker
You don't know what else is out there.
00:44:49
Speaker
We need knowledge.
00:44:51
Speaker
My closet, I'm sure my weapons and nerdy books will help us in some way.
00:44:57
Speaker
Man, didn't you pay any attention?
00:44:59
Speaker
I just picked up Sam like she was a baseball bat.
00:45:01
Speaker
I could swing her around.
00:45:02
Speaker
Come on, man.
00:45:03
Speaker
We need food.
00:45:03
Speaker
We're not all you, okay?
00:45:06
Speaker
You want me to swing you around?
00:45:08
Speaker
No.
00:45:09
Speaker
I don't think I could, so that's a good idea.
00:45:10
Speaker
All right, let's go check your room, and then you help me find the food.
00:45:14
Speaker
You got it.
00:45:15
Speaker
All right, let's go.
00:45:18
Speaker
So you guys go into Arthur's room.
00:45:21
Speaker
You do indeed find a baseball bat, which is weird because Arthur has never played baseball all day in his life.
00:45:26
Speaker
But he has a bat propped up against the wall for whatever reason.
00:45:30
Speaker
His parents gave him a bat, and he never played it.
00:45:33
Speaker
So he knew it was in prime condition because he never touched it.
00:45:38
Speaker
Perfect.
00:45:39
Speaker
You would know that out in your garage, your dad liked to say that if it can't be fixed with duct tape, then it just can't be fixed.
00:45:50
Speaker
So you know you got duct tape out in the garage.
00:45:54
Speaker
But what is it that you're looking for in your room?
00:46:00
Speaker
I guess... I feel like over his years of...
00:46:08
Speaker
Following the occult and just being sort of a nerd for the spooky shit, he would have some plethora of books with different sorts of knowledge.
00:46:20
Speaker
I kind of wanted to grab that, grab what I think would be pertinent to our certain situation and just put it in my backpack for later to see if it could help.
00:46:31
Speaker
Okay, roll me an occult check.
00:46:35
Speaker
Come on.
00:46:41
Speaker
50 out of 52.
00:46:44
Speaker
Oh, I'm getting close ones tonight.
00:46:47
Speaker
So you go ahead and you find a book that has to do with different rituals and that kind of stuff.
00:46:55
Speaker
And you grab that one.
00:46:57
Speaker
You have a book that is about cryptids, but it's about like short stories that people have written.
00:47:04
Speaker
So basically in our world, it's like a book of like creepypasta.
00:47:08
Speaker
Hell yeah.
00:47:09
Speaker
So I got cryptic book.
00:47:11
Speaker
Yep.
00:47:11
Speaker
So you got a cryptic book and you have your book on different spells.
00:47:18
Speaker
And that is what you grab.
00:47:21
Speaker
Can I do one last thing?
00:47:23
Speaker
What's your one last thing?
00:47:25
Speaker
I want to grab my baseball bat.
00:47:26
Speaker
I'm going to grab my Naruto kunai.
00:47:31
Speaker
I'm going to smash the Naruto kunai into the baseball bat.
00:47:34
Speaker
So it's kind of like a pick.
00:47:38
Speaker
So it's a baseball bat with a knife in it.
00:47:42
Speaker
Can I stop him from doing that while I see you this?
00:47:46
Speaker
We got to prepare!
00:47:48
Speaker
As I say as I try making this.
00:47:51
Speaker
Ned's going to grab his wrist while he's trying to go and do that if I can.
00:47:55
Speaker
Do you need me to roll something for that?
00:47:57
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:47:57
Speaker
Oh, I definitely need you to roll because he sounds like he is 100% ready to do that.
00:48:02
Speaker
And I was going to make a suggestion, but he's 100% going his way.
00:48:07
Speaker
So I need you to roll.
00:48:10
Speaker
For all intents and purposes, I need you guys to just do strength.
00:48:14
Speaker
No, contested unarmed combat.
00:48:16
Speaker
Oh, goddammit.
00:48:25
Speaker
Six out of 40.
00:48:27
Speaker
84 out of 50.
00:48:31
Speaker
Ooh, so Nick failed in unarmed combat.
00:48:37
Speaker
Okay, so you go to try and stop him, and he is able to shake you off, takes the kunai, and stabs it into his bed.
00:48:48
Speaker
And what he does is he takes the bat, raises it above his head, and smashes it down onto the handle of the kunai.
00:48:56
Speaker
To the point where, surprisingly enough, this bat must have been hollow or something.
00:49:01
Speaker
The handle does go through and makes a pick.
00:49:05
Speaker
Oh yeah!
00:49:06
Speaker
Told ya!
00:49:07
Speaker
We gotta be prepared.
00:49:10
Speaker
But... You notice that the very top of the bat is very severely splintered from this.
00:49:19
Speaker
So you don't know how many hits it's going to last before the bat breaks.
00:49:24
Speaker
Arthur, you better hope it's vampires.
00:49:27
Speaker
You never know what's out there.
00:49:30
Speaker
No, no, you don't.
00:49:31
Speaker
And I had it.
00:49:34
Speaker
And I had the bat pick.
00:49:38
Speaker
Since you can pick people up like they're nothing, you can swing this like it was nothing either.
00:49:44
Speaker
You know what, man?
00:49:46
Speaker
Here, you go right ahead and keep it.
00:49:48
Speaker
I'll just keep picking shit up.
00:49:50
Speaker
You just start hitting shit when I can't pick it up.
00:49:52
Speaker
How about that?
00:49:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:49:56
Speaker
I appreciate it, man, but I have a feeling we're going to hit a couple houses and we're... Look, man, there ain't nobody around.
00:50:05
Speaker
I just got a one more stop.
00:50:07
Speaker
One more stop.
00:50:08
Speaker
All right.
00:50:09
Speaker
Well, I hope it's your closet.
00:50:10
Speaker
It's October, man.
00:50:11
Speaker
It's the end of October.
00:50:12
Speaker
It's going to get cold.
00:50:13
Speaker
Come on.
00:50:13
Speaker
Let's get some hoodies.
00:50:14
Speaker
Let's get some coats.
00:50:16
Speaker
I know my dad.
00:50:18
Speaker
He is.
00:50:19
Speaker
He might have some coats in the garage.
00:50:21
Speaker
Man, your closet's right here.
00:50:24
Speaker
Do I have any coats in my closet?
00:50:28
Speaker
I mean, that's up to you.
00:50:29
Speaker
Would you have coats in your closet or would they be in the closet up by the front door?
00:50:34
Speaker
Probably not by the front door.
00:50:36
Speaker
Then no, you do not have any coats in your closet.
00:50:40
Speaker
Yeah, sorry.
00:50:41
Speaker
It's just graphic tees.
00:50:44
Speaker
You got a backpack?
00:50:46
Speaker
Yeah, it's on me.
00:50:47
Speaker
Do you have another backpack?
00:50:51
Speaker
I've got this little satchel.
00:50:54
Speaker
It's like a messenger bag.
00:50:59
Speaker
One of those that's like a one strap that goes from like your right shoulder to your left hip.
00:51:03
Speaker
Exactly.
00:51:04
Speaker
Okay.
00:51:05
Speaker
I'm going to grab that and just throw a couple of his t-shirts in there and then head back to the kitchen.
00:51:10
Speaker
Okay.
00:51:12
Speaker
Arthur.
00:51:12
Speaker
I want to head to the garage.
00:51:14
Speaker
As you walk out of your room past your brother's room, I want you to roll me an alertness check at a plus 70.
00:51:21
Speaker
Oh, God.
00:51:30
Speaker
16 out of 70.
00:51:32
Speaker
It's almost like I wanted you to pass this one.
00:51:35
Speaker
As you walk past your brother's room, you see a flash of light.
00:51:39
Speaker
Oh!
00:51:40
Speaker
And you look over and you see your brother is sitting on his bed.
00:51:47
Speaker
And the TV in front of him that he normally plays video games on is just static.
00:51:54
Speaker
And he's sitting there and he has a controller in his hand, but his hand is sitting there kind of limply and his eyes are wide open.
00:52:02
Speaker
And he has this almost unnaturally huge smile on his face where you can almost see all of his teeth at the right angle.
00:52:11
Speaker
And his head is kind of cocked to like one side and he's just smiling at the TV and
00:52:17
Speaker
And absolutely, he seems like he's absolutely dead to the world.
00:52:22
Speaker
Like nothing is phasing him.
00:52:25
Speaker
He is just focused on this TV in front of him.
00:52:33
Speaker
Even seeing that scene, he's, oh my gosh.
00:52:38
Speaker
Arthur still sheepishly says, uh, Carl, what are you doing?
00:52:44
Speaker
We gotta get out of here.
00:52:45
Speaker
He does not answer you at all.
00:52:48
Speaker
I walk into the room more.
00:52:52
Speaker
He acts as if you don't even exist.
00:52:55
Speaker
It's like he's a statue.
00:52:57
Speaker
I'm gonna slap him.
00:52:59
Speaker
No response.
00:53:01
Speaker
I'm going to slap him a second time.
00:53:03
Speaker
Still no response.
00:53:05
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:53:05
Speaker
Arthur, quit beating your meat up there.
00:53:07
Speaker
Come on, man.
00:53:08
Speaker
I found the weenies.
00:53:09
Speaker
Let's get out of here.
00:53:11
Speaker
I can't leave my brother.
00:53:14
Speaker
You can't what now?
00:53:17
Speaker
Sam, Ryan, get in here.
00:53:20
Speaker
Get in here.
00:53:22
Speaker
And I start shouting for him.
00:53:24
Speaker
All right.
00:53:25
Speaker
Well, you guys know what's coming next.
00:53:28
Speaker
Take off my headphones.
00:53:29
Speaker
Both of you take off your headphones.
00:53:36
Speaker
So you guys see as Arthur and Ned go inside.
00:53:40
Speaker
You're looking around.
00:53:41
Speaker
Everything out here looks decrepit, but you can tell that there is this feeling in the air that something... It's... It's unnaturally quiet.
00:53:54
Speaker
There are no birds.
00:53:58
Speaker
There are no bugs.
00:54:00
Speaker
Nothing is making a sound.
00:54:02
Speaker
It's as if as you guys shuffle your feet and accidentally kick gravel around, because you know how old driveways, it doesn't matter how nice or new the driveway is, there's always a little bit of gravel on the driveway.
00:54:14
Speaker
As you are kicking that around, it would be almost as if you could hear that from three blocks away.
00:54:21
Speaker
It is unnaturally still.
00:54:28
Speaker
Okay, so Samantha will most likely, like I said, she's keeping an eye out for like if the water tower comes back or anything, noticing that it's like eerily quiet.
00:54:45
Speaker
She'll pick up a stone and just like throw it at a nearby tree to see if any like birds flutter out or anything.
00:54:53
Speaker
absolutely nothing happens.
00:54:55
Speaker
The stone hits the tree with a loud which the thunk sounded a lot louder than the size rock that you threw at the tree, but you kind of figure that that's because there is literally nothing else making a sound.
00:55:09
Speaker
And the clatter of the rock hitting the ground afterward also seems kind of loud, but it doesn't seem to disturb anything.
00:55:17
Speaker
What does like the sky look like?
00:55:21
Speaker
I am glad you asked.
00:55:23
Speaker
It is nighttime.
00:55:25
Speaker
It's been long enough that it almost seems like nighttime or like it should be nighttime.
00:55:29
Speaker
But the sky has, while there's no light coming from the sky right now, it has an eerie red glow to it.
00:55:38
Speaker
Does it seem to come from any direction or is it just kind of like the entire sky?
00:55:44
Speaker
It's almost as if you guys are cast into a cloudy sunset.
00:55:50
Speaker
where the clouds would be casting that red glow onto the... or the sun would be casting the red glow onto the clouds, but where the sun is low enough to not really produce any light.
00:56:02
Speaker
So it doesn't really seem like it's coming from one specific direction.
00:56:07
Speaker
It's just like the sky is just red.
00:56:13
Speaker
Hey, Samantha, you're seeing the sky too, right?
00:56:17
Speaker
Yeah, I'm noticing that.
00:56:19
Speaker
I've also noticed there's no birds around.
00:56:24
Speaker
I honestly don't think we're in the same plane for sure anymore.
00:56:32
Speaker
As if the water tower wasn't a clue enough, but something just seems really off about this place is
00:56:41
Speaker
I'm going to try and I'm going to try and text Ashley back.
00:56:44
Speaker
So she pulls out her phone and texts her trying to get some sort of answer.
00:56:49
Speaker
Her text says something along the lines of what what did you do?
00:56:57
Speaker
What where did you summon us to?
00:57:01
Speaker
First off, what is your phone battery at?
00:57:07
Speaker
81.
00:57:07
Speaker
81.
00:57:08
Speaker
Okay.
00:57:08
Speaker
You are surprised to see your text goes through.
00:57:13
Speaker
Do I see if she's like the red receipts are on or anything?
00:57:19
Speaker
The red receipts.
00:57:20
Speaker
Are you texting her privately or are you texting the group?
00:57:23
Speaker
Privately.
00:57:24
Speaker
Privately.
00:57:25
Speaker
Her red receipts are on.
00:57:27
Speaker
And as of right now, all it says is delivered.
00:57:30
Speaker
So Sam will just put her phone away for right now and walk over to Arthur's parents' cars and try to open them, see if she can find, like, a crowbar or something so she has some sort of, like, weapon or whatnot.
00:57:49
Speaker
Okay.
00:57:49
Speaker
You're trying to find a crowbar or some sort of weapon inside of the car.
00:57:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:57:54
Speaker
Like, if there's something in the car or, like, if she can get into the garage or
00:58:01
Speaker
to try and find something that they have some sort of protection.
00:58:04
Speaker
Okay, what is your search number?
00:58:07
Speaker
That is... So if I have nothing in there, it's just 20%, right?
00:58:12
Speaker
Correct.
00:58:13
Speaker
20%.
00:58:14
Speaker
Go ahead and roll me a search at a plus 20.
00:58:16
Speaker
So basically what that means is for this one roll, you'll be rolling it at a 40%.
00:58:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:58:24
Speaker
Also, you read my mind.
00:58:26
Speaker
I was just about to ask for a garage.
00:58:30
Speaker
It's a 24 out of 40.
00:58:32
Speaker
24 out of 40.
00:58:33
Speaker
You don't find a crowbar or anything because who drives around with a crowbar?
00:58:37
Speaker
But what you do find is you find a jack with a one of those like a detachable jack handle.
00:58:46
Speaker
I guess you could almost use as a club.
00:58:49
Speaker
Yes, this is something.
00:58:50
Speaker
She kind of holds it up because if I remember, those are not that big.
00:58:55
Speaker
They're not that big, but I mean, it's still it's hefty enough.
00:58:58
Speaker
OK, it's still a chunk of metal you could hit something with.
00:59:01
Speaker
Right.
00:59:02
Speaker
Exactly.
00:59:03
Speaker
See if you can get the garage door open.
00:59:05
Speaker
Maybe there's something in there we can find.
00:59:08
Speaker
Yeah, Ryan will also see if there's a side door into the garage that might be easier to open as well.
00:59:14
Speaker
That is very smart.
00:59:16
Speaker
I'm not even going to make you roll for that because almost every single garage that I've ever seen in my entire life has a side door.
00:59:23
Speaker
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to make you roll me a 50-50.
00:59:26
Speaker
That's a 53.
00:59:26
Speaker
That is a 53.
00:59:29
Speaker
The door is unfortunately locked.
00:59:43
Speaker
His parents actually did their job and locked up.
00:59:49
Speaker
Ryan is just going to look at Samantha and just be like, do we care right now about pretty much anything after everything that's happened?
00:59:57
Speaker
No, I don't really think so.
00:59:59
Speaker
Plus, if Ned is right, I don't think there's anybody else here but us.
01:00:04
Speaker
Great.
01:00:04
Speaker
And Ryan is going to scoop up a rock and just, you know, blow out the window and just reach in and unlock the door.
01:00:10
Speaker
Before you are able to hit the window with a rock, I want you both to roll me an alertness check.
01:00:20
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
01:00:23
Speaker
That's a 90 out of 62.
01:00:24
Speaker
That is a 33 on a 60.
01:00:29
Speaker
That is a critical success.
01:00:31
Speaker
As you, Samantha, you are more focused on the fact that you are about to hear glass shatter.
01:00:37
Speaker
Right before you are about to throw that rock, you hear from inside what sounds like Arthur go, I'm not gonna leave my brother!
01:00:48
Speaker
And you hear Ned from inside go, Samantha, Ryan, get in here!
01:00:54
Speaker
Get in here!
01:00:58
Speaker
What the fuck?
01:01:00
Speaker
I guess we better go.
01:01:01
Speaker
Yeah, let's go.
01:01:04
Speaker
As Ryan runs, he's going to scoop up a second rock and just take them both in with them because it's better than his fists.
01:01:10
Speaker
Perfect.
01:01:11
Speaker
Sam's going to run in with the jack thing, whatever it's called.
01:01:15
Speaker
You called it that thing.
01:01:18
Speaker
It's a jack, yeah.
01:01:18
Speaker
It's like the handle to... It's just a jack.
01:01:21
Speaker
It's the handle part to the jack, yes.
01:01:23
Speaker
I thought the part that lifted the car was the jack, so... I mean, it's the handle to that, but it's the same thing.
01:01:30
Speaker
Perhaps a jack handle?
01:01:32
Speaker
Shut up!
01:01:38
Speaker
Yeah, she's gonna run in with that.
01:01:40
Speaker
Look at you coming into this conversation with your fancy ability to combine words.
01:01:48
Speaker
Actually, give me a second.
01:01:51
Speaker
Give me a second to get Nick and Matt back in here.
01:01:54
Speaker
Yep.
01:01:57
Speaker
Guys, he said his brother's upstairs.
01:01:58
Speaker
We got to get up there now.
01:02:00
Speaker
And I just take off and I run up the stairs to get to where he was at.
01:02:05
Speaker
Ned, what?
01:02:07
Speaker
Samantha turns to Arthur.
01:02:08
Speaker
What the hell are you talking about?
01:02:09
Speaker
Your brother's upstairs.
01:02:11
Speaker
Oh, he's I'm hard upstairs.
01:02:13
Speaker
Oh, never mind.
01:02:16
Speaker
He's sitting up there.
01:02:17
Speaker
He's not his brother.
01:02:18
Speaker
Come on, let's go.
01:02:18
Speaker
Let's go.
01:02:20
Speaker
Ned, you're just running.
01:02:22
Speaker
She'll look at Ryan and shrug her shoulders and be like, all right, let's go.
01:02:28
Speaker
Ryan is going to run up after her.
01:02:33
Speaker
Arthur, what the hell are you talking about, man?
01:02:36
Speaker
What's going on in here?
01:02:39
Speaker
So I will tell you guys the same thing that I told Arthur and Ned.
01:02:47
Speaker
You guys walk in and you see Arthur's brother is sitting on the end of his bed.
01:02:54
Speaker
And he has a video game controller in his hand.
01:02:58
Speaker
And the TV in front of him is just flashing static.
01:03:04
Speaker
Like, it's not actually playing anything, it's just flashing static.
01:03:09
Speaker
He has
Escalating Confrontations
01:03:10
Speaker
his head tilted at almost a 45 degree angle to the left.
01:03:14
Speaker
His eyes are wide and bloodshot.
01:03:17
Speaker
And he has a giant unnatural smile on his face that if you were looking at him straight on, you would almost be able to swear that you'd be able to see every tooth in his mouth.
01:03:29
Speaker
And as Arthur is shaking him, trying to get his attention, he is not moving.
01:03:37
Speaker
His brother is almost acting as if none of you are there whatsoever.
01:03:41
Speaker
He is unfazed.
01:03:44
Speaker
Sam is going to look at the static TV and her grip on the jack handle tightens and she runs over and she smashes it into the screen.
01:03:58
Speaker
You smash the jack handle into the screen of the TV.
01:04:02
Speaker
As you do that,
01:04:05
Speaker
You swing.
01:04:06
Speaker
You swing full power.
01:04:08
Speaker
The jackhandle goes into the TV.
01:04:12
Speaker
And breathing heavy from all that you just put into that swing, trying to make sure that you completely just smash that motherfucker in one hit.
01:04:20
Speaker
You take a step back towards everyone else.
01:04:23
Speaker
Arthur is looking up at his brother wondering what's wrong.
01:04:26
Speaker
And he reacts.
01:04:29
Speaker
You take a step back.
01:04:30
Speaker
You're next to Ned and Ryan right now.
01:04:34
Speaker
And very slowly, still head cocked at a 45 degree angle to the left, still with a wide smile, still eyes bulging and bloodshot, slowly turns his head to you.
01:04:48
Speaker
Very, very, very slowly turns his head to you, looks right past his brother, and locks eyes with you, Samantha.
01:05:02
Speaker
And he says in a voice that does not sound like Arthur's brother says, Why would you do such a thing?
01:05:13
Speaker
Oh my God.
01:05:15
Speaker
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
01:05:17
Speaker
Out, out, out, out.
01:05:19
Speaker
Carl?
01:05:21
Speaker
Arthur, that ain't your brother.
01:05:22
Speaker
I'm going to grab Arthur by the back of his collar.
01:05:26
Speaker
I'm just going to grab him and try and just whang him out of the...
01:05:30
Speaker
bedroom.
01:05:31
Speaker
Are you going to contest it, Arthur?
01:05:34
Speaker
I feel like he's a little shocked by his brother acting like a possessed demon, so I just can't accept it.
01:05:43
Speaker
Okay, I will not make you roll opposed rolls then.
01:05:47
Speaker
So Ned is able to reach down, kind of grab you by the collar of your shirt and yank you up to your feet as he's saying nope, nope, nope, nope and grabs you and pulls you out of there.
01:05:56
Speaker
Everyone else is, I'm assuming, leaving the room
01:06:00
Speaker
Ryan and Samantha, you guys are out of there as well.
01:06:03
Speaker
Sam is kind of taken back by him.
01:06:07
Speaker
And I would say she's kind of frightened with the way that Carl's just staring into her soul currently.
01:06:15
Speaker
Nope, nope, nope.
01:06:16
Speaker
You too, you too.
01:06:17
Speaker
And I'm going to reach back in and grab at her too.
01:06:22
Speaker
Are you going to fight it?
01:06:24
Speaker
Kind of.
01:06:25
Speaker
Thank you.
01:06:26
Speaker
I kind of am.
01:06:27
Speaker
So I need you both to roll me.
01:06:31
Speaker
Are you ready for this one?
01:06:32
Speaker
You're not fighting each other.
01:06:34
Speaker
You're going to roll me opposed athletics.
01:06:36
Speaker
007 on a 30.
01:06:42
Speaker
That's a 2 out of 50.
01:06:54
Speaker
So playing the Price is Right rules, a seven is higher than a two without going over.
01:06:59
Speaker
He is able to pull you out of the room.
01:07:01
Speaker
Sam, that thing, I don't know what the hell it is, but it's staring right at you.
01:07:05
Speaker
I think you need to get out more than the rest of us.
01:07:08
Speaker
And I slam the door shut.
01:07:10
Speaker
No, you do not.
01:07:12
Speaker
All foot.
01:07:13
Speaker
You try to slam the door shut and the door also does not move.
01:07:18
Speaker
Ryan, what are you doing?
01:07:20
Speaker
As Samantha gets pulled out, he's going to slowly back out of the room, just keeping eyes on him to see if he moves at all.
01:07:28
Speaker
Ryan, you are staying behind to look and see if Carl moves at all.
01:07:34
Speaker
Is anybody else going to as well?
01:07:38
Speaker
Um...
01:07:39
Speaker
I'm staying because it's my brother and I'm like, what's going on?
01:07:43
Speaker
Sam at least pulls her arm away from Ned a little bit and just kind of stands in the doorway with her, the grip on the jack handle pretty tight just in case anything happens.
01:07:56
Speaker
Arthur, did you let go of that bat?
01:07:59
Speaker
Oh, no.
01:08:01
Speaker
You're still holding that?
01:08:03
Speaker
Oh, very much so.
01:08:05
Speaker
Then Ned is just kind of
01:08:08
Speaker
knelt down at the door so that Sam can see over me, but I'm ready to do whatever I got to do to try and restrain something if something happens.
01:08:22
Speaker
Okay.
01:08:22
Speaker
So you guys are all out in the hallway.
01:08:26
Speaker
Ryan would be just in the door, like off to the left of it.
01:08:30
Speaker
So I say him can see.
01:08:35
Speaker
So you're inside the door.
01:08:37
Speaker
So from my understanding, Ryan is inside the door off to the left.
01:08:41
Speaker
Sam is in the doorway and Ned is probably to her right, but knelt down.
01:08:50
Speaker
I'm not exactly sure where Arthur's at.
01:08:53
Speaker
I have you and Arthur just outside of the door.
01:08:57
Speaker
So in the hallway, able to look in, but I threw both of you guys out into the hallway.
01:09:02
Speaker
Okay.
01:09:02
Speaker
Arthur and Samantha are in the hallway looking into the room.
01:09:06
Speaker
Ned is knelt down basically in the doorway.
01:09:11
Speaker
Correct.
01:09:13
Speaker
And then Ryan is basically one step in the room, basically blocking the door from closing with his body.
01:09:23
Speaker
Yeah.
01:09:24
Speaker
Yeah.
01:09:25
Speaker
You got it.
01:09:26
Speaker
That sounds correct to everybody.
01:09:27
Speaker
Okay.
01:09:28
Speaker
So he is still, Carl is still sitting on the bed looking at you guys with his head tilted with a big smile with wide eyes.
01:09:39
Speaker
And before you even notice what happens, Ryan, I need you to roll me a power roll at a negative 10.
01:09:54
Speaker
If I don't drop my dice, that is a 10 on a modified 65.
01:10:02
Speaker
Jesus Christ, your power is 75?
01:10:04
Speaker
Yeah.
01:10:05
Speaker
Oh, I should have given you more than a minus 10.
01:10:08
Speaker
Shit.
01:10:11
Speaker
I'm sure it'll come up next time.
01:10:13
Speaker
I'll get like a minus 50.
01:10:14
Speaker
DMs take notes too.
01:10:17
Speaker
Yes, DMs do take notes too.
01:10:20
Speaker
DMs, GMs, handlers, and keepers for that matter.
01:10:24
Speaker
I'm getting better, guys.
01:10:25
Speaker
I'm getting better.
01:10:28
Speaker
So, in what can only be described as the blink of an eye, Carl moves from where he is sitting on the edge of his bed from across the room, literally right in front of your face, Ryan.
01:10:47
Speaker
And he goes to like kind of not attack you, but kind of put like a hand on your chest to like push you out of his room.
01:10:55
Speaker
But you're able to kind of sense it coming.
01:11:00
Speaker
So as his hand comes up and touches your chest, you really quick readjust your back foot to give you your left foot back behind you to give you support.
01:11:11
Speaker
So you're not able to be pushed over.
01:11:14
Speaker
And he looks at you and still has the wide eyes and the grin.
01:11:17
Speaker
And he goes, get out.
01:11:22
Speaker
I don't want you here anymore.
01:11:26
Speaker
Ryan tries to hold back his first instinct to smash the rock into the side of this thing's head and just says, what's your name?
01:11:36
Speaker
What are you doing?
01:11:38
Speaker
You don't ask the names.
01:11:41
Speaker
Nope.
01:11:42
Speaker
When you ask him his name, he keeps the smile on the wide eyes, but his head cocks real quick over to the right.
01:11:50
Speaker
And he goes, You'd know my name, Ryan.
01:11:56
Speaker
It's Carl.
01:11:59
Speaker
But Samantha just broke my TV.
01:12:06
Speaker
And I am now very angry.
01:12:11
Speaker
So get out of my room, please.
01:12:19
Speaker
Of course.
01:12:20
Speaker
And he just starts backing away.
01:12:21
Speaker
And if he runs into anybody, they're getting shoved backwards.
01:12:25
Speaker
Yup, yup, yup.
01:12:26
Speaker
I'm kind of grabbing you by the waistband since I'm knelt down.
01:12:28
Speaker
I'm like, yup, let's get out of here.
01:12:30
Speaker
I'm not leaving my brother.
01:12:32
Speaker
He's maybe cranky, but I can't just leave him.
01:12:36
Speaker
You want to bet you're not?
01:12:37
Speaker
That ain't your brother.
01:12:38
Speaker
Arthur, I think they're right.
01:12:40
Speaker
We need to go.
01:12:40
Speaker
That's not Carl anymore.
01:12:44
Speaker
As Ryan and Ned get out into the hallway where Samantha and Arthur are, without Carl moving, you guys see the door very slowly close.
01:12:59
Speaker
Does it make a noise?
01:13:01
Speaker
It doesn't make a noise like your typical Likki.
01:13:06
Speaker
But as it closes, it latches and you hear it lock from the inside.
01:13:13
Speaker
Arthur looks over at his brother's door, shuts a single tear, knowing his brother is dead and he can't do anything about it.
01:13:20
Speaker
All right, guys, we got to get the fuck out of here.
01:13:24
Speaker
There's only one last place I need to go.
01:13:27
Speaker
We need to go to the garage.
01:13:30
Speaker
Before you do that...
01:13:33
Speaker
I'd like y'all to roll me a sanity, please.
01:13:36
Speaker
Oh, you don't say.
01:13:37
Speaker
11 out of 47.
01:13:43
Speaker
Matt, you crit succeeded.
01:13:45
Speaker
I'm going to let you get one sanity back.
01:13:48
Speaker
All right.
01:13:49
Speaker
I have a 13 out of 70.
01:13:51
Speaker
Melanie, you will take zero damage.
01:13:55
Speaker
That is an 88 on a 67.
01:13:58
Speaker
Oh, no.
01:14:00
Speaker
Wait, hold on, hold on.
01:14:01
Speaker
Seriously?
01:14:02
Speaker
Yeah.
01:14:03
Speaker
77 on a 73.
01:14:07
Speaker
Oh, Jesus.
01:14:09
Speaker
So for this crit fail, you guys are going to take double damage.
01:14:13
Speaker
But luckily for you, on a fail, it was only one.
01:14:17
Speaker
So you will take two.
01:14:18
Speaker
That was only one sanity damage?
01:14:20
Speaker
Yeah, that was only one sanity damage.
01:14:23
Speaker
The fuck you got in mind there, bud?
01:14:26
Speaker
A brother acting weird isn't as crazy as a water tower literally walking across town.
01:14:33
Speaker
Okay.
01:14:34
Speaker
Well, apparently my brother being possessed strengthened Arthur's resolve.
01:14:40
Speaker
That depends on your steez.
01:14:45
Speaker
Oh my God.
01:14:48
Speaker
Arthur, let's make this quick, man.
01:14:50
Speaker
We got, I don't want to be here anymore.
01:14:52
Speaker
I will be quick.
01:14:55
Speaker
I'll make sure of that.
01:14:57
Speaker
Arthur runs to the garage.
01:15:02
Speaker
So Ryan will follow.
01:15:03
Speaker
He wants something more than a rock.
01:15:08
Speaker
While they're running off to the garage, Sam, before leaving, looks around the hallway to see if there's anything she can pull in front of Carl's door.
01:15:21
Speaker
So if and when he decides to leave the room, he'll at least be somewhat tripped up.
01:15:26
Speaker
So, upon a quick glance, you see that Arthur's mom and dad are the kind of family that have, like, the table, the little side table that's up against a wall in the hallway that has, like, a picture of the family and a little house plant and all that kind of stuff on it.
01:15:46
Speaker
But that's really the only thing that you see in the hallway.
01:15:51
Speaker
And that'll do, I guess.
01:15:53
Speaker
So she'll pick that up and put it in front of the door so it slows them somewhat.
01:15:59
Speaker
Okay.
01:16:00
Speaker
And then this way she can hear or they could hear if like he does come clattering over it.
01:16:06
Speaker
Samantha, give me an alertness check.
01:16:08
Speaker
Motherfucker.
01:16:08
Speaker
That's a 13 out of 62.
01:16:16
Speaker
Excellent, because I wanted you to succeed this.
01:16:19
Speaker
Oh, God.
01:16:19
Speaker
So you place the table in front of the door and you're thinking to yourself, okay, that's at least something that's going to slow him down.
01:16:24
Speaker
And from the other side of the door, you hear, I heard that.
01:16:36
Speaker
Sam just doesn't say anything, but slowly backs away from the door, kind of.
01:16:42
Speaker
stumbling over herself before is it hold on are there stairs or is this yes it's it's upstairs okay okay so she is kind of slowly backing away stumbling over herself a little bit till she gets to the stairs and she just books it as you are backing away from the other side of the door you also hear happy halloween
01:17:09
Speaker
Yeah, she's gone.
01:17:11
Speaker
Sam, you got some nuts on you.
01:17:13
Speaker
Well, at least this way if he gets out, I can hear him.
01:17:17
Speaker
And I'll know that he's going to come now fuck us up.
01:17:20
Speaker
Sam, Sam, Sam.
01:17:21
Speaker
I'm going to pull her in real close.
01:17:24
Speaker
Look, Sam.
01:17:28
Speaker
I don't like that.
01:17:29
Speaker
And don't tell Arthur, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to light this house on fire when we get out of here.
01:17:37
Speaker
I mean, you do you, but... I plan to.
01:17:42
Speaker
I just want to let you know that way when we're walking away, if all of a sudden there's a big fire and a whole lot of smoke, that maybe we don't worry about it.
01:17:53
Speaker
Ned, I'm going to need you to keep it together.
01:17:55
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to keep it together, and that's by burning that son of a bitch to the ground.
01:18:01
Speaker
Ha, ha.
01:18:02
Speaker
I love how that's Ned's defense mechanism.
01:18:05
Speaker
Something scared me.
01:18:06
Speaker
Burn it down!
01:18:07
Speaker
Samantha's very worried about Ned.
01:18:14
Speaker
As you should be.
01:18:15
Speaker
I'm contemplating making you roll sanity just because of the way Ned's acting, but I'm not that mean.
01:18:21
Speaker
Yet.
01:18:23
Speaker
Not yet.
01:18:25
Speaker
See you guys after...
01:18:27
Speaker
seeing the door close without Carl touching the door at all.
01:18:31
Speaker
You guys move.
01:18:32
Speaker
You see that Samantha holds back for a second and then you see the absolute look of terror on her face as she just fucking, you guys are about halfway down the stairs and she just vaults right over your asses.
01:18:47
Speaker
She cannot get away from the top of those stairs fucking fast enough after what she just witnessed.
01:18:55
Speaker
What are you doing?
01:18:58
Speaker
Go into the garage.
01:18:59
Speaker
Find my father's trusty duct tape.
01:19:04
Speaker
Find your father's trusty duct tape.
01:19:06
Speaker
Go ahead and go into the garage.
01:19:10
Speaker
Can I look around for a phone charger?
01:19:14
Speaker
In the house?
01:19:15
Speaker
Yes.
01:19:17
Speaker
While everyone else is in the garage?
01:19:23
Speaker
The silence is uncanny.
01:19:26
Speaker
Sure.
01:19:28
Speaker
Are you sure about that?
01:19:29
Speaker
I'm not the one that broke.
01:19:31
Speaker
I ain't the one who broke his damn TV.
01:19:33
Speaker
That's on you and your tire iron.
01:19:35
Speaker
That's what it's called.
01:19:38
Speaker
A tire iron is one of them that has the four different sizes that you can use.
01:19:46
Speaker
This is literally just a jack handle is what you have.
01:19:49
Speaker
Okay, we got the L shape on it.
01:19:51
Speaker
Yeah.
01:19:55
Speaker
What?
01:19:55
Speaker
Either way, don't be breaking people's TVs.
01:19:58
Speaker
That's a good way to get broke.
01:20:00
Speaker
You break a TV, you get broke too.
01:20:02
Speaker
Come on now.
01:20:03
Speaker
I thought it was going to help him.
01:20:05
Speaker
Well, it should help something.
01:20:07
Speaker
So all the rest of you are going into the garage, yes?
01:20:09
Speaker
Yeah.
01:20:10
Speaker
Yes.
01:20:11
Speaker
Sam's out of the house.
01:20:12
Speaker
She's done.
01:20:13
Speaker
God damn it.
01:20:14
Speaker
I am Scooby.
01:20:16
Speaker
I am Scooby.
01:20:17
Speaker
I knew it.
01:20:19
Speaker
I need Matt, and I need Breck, and I need Melanie to remove your headsets.
01:20:32
Speaker
Good luck.
01:20:34
Speaker
I need it.
01:20:40
Speaker
They're all out in the garage.
01:20:43
Speaker
You are alone in the house.
01:20:47
Speaker
What was it that you said you were looking for?
01:20:49
Speaker
A phone charger?
01:20:50
Speaker
Yes, sir.
01:20:51
Speaker
Cool.
01:20:51
Speaker
Where are you going to go to look for a phone charger?
01:20:54
Speaker
Uh, so just, this is the view that I have in my head.
01:20:58
Speaker
Is it kind of like you go down the stairs, maybe off to the left is like the living room off to the right is kind of like the dining room kitchen.
01:21:04
Speaker
And then through the kitchen is how you get to the garage.
01:21:07
Speaker
Maybe you and I actually have the exact same idea for the layout of this house.
01:21:13
Speaker
If you would go straight from the bottom of the stairs, that's where the front door would be.
01:21:16
Speaker
That'll work for me.
01:21:20
Speaker
So I'm going to, I'm going to kind of head towards the kitchen and like,
01:21:24
Speaker
It's Ohio, man.
01:21:25
Speaker
Everybody got a junk drawer.
01:21:26
Speaker
I'm going to look through the junk drawers.
01:21:28
Speaker
I'm going to try and find me a couple charging cables, maybe some batteries.
01:21:31
Speaker
I don't know.
01:21:31
Speaker
I got this weird little man purse, and I'm going to load it up with whatever I can grab out of these here junk drawers.
01:21:39
Speaker
Okay.
01:21:39
Speaker
I will say go ahead and roll me a modified luck check at a negative 20.
01:21:44
Speaker
003 on a modified...
01:21:54
Speaker
56.
01:21:56
Speaker
Damn.
01:21:58
Speaker
First off, I forgot that your luck was a 76.
01:22:00
Speaker
I think it's everyone else that rolled in the 80s or 90s.
01:22:04
Speaker
Oh, no, I misheard you then.
01:22:05
Speaker
My luck is actually an 86.
01:22:06
Speaker
So 66 was the modify.
01:22:09
Speaker
Okay, fair enough.
01:22:11
Speaker
I did have the lowest luck, though.
01:22:13
Speaker
Either way...
01:22:15
Speaker
You find a couple of cables, you find a couple of charging cables with the luck check.
01:22:20
Speaker
More.
01:22:20
Speaker
What I was looking for is to make sure that the charging cables would actually work with your phones.
01:22:25
Speaker
And they do.
01:22:26
Speaker
But with such a good luck role, you also find two power bricks.
01:22:36
Speaker
Oh, thank God.
01:22:36
Speaker
I was really hoping we're going to find that.
01:22:38
Speaker
Otherwise, we'd have to go back up there and get his computer.
01:22:42
Speaker
Now, here's what I want you to do.
01:22:45
Speaker
And this is a number that these are two numbers you can keep to yourself.
01:22:48
Speaker
I want you to roll me two D one hundreds to see what their battery life is at.
01:22:58
Speaker
Eight.
01:23:02
Speaker
One hundred.
01:23:04
Speaker
Nice.
01:23:05
Speaker
No joke.
01:23:06
Speaker
No joke.
01:23:06
Speaker
Three zeros.
01:23:08
Speaker
So one of them is almost dead already, which you could find a way maybe later to charge it up.
01:23:14
Speaker
I'm not sure.
01:23:15
Speaker
But the one that's at 100 is going to be very, very, very helpful to you guys because basically the mechanic here is going to be one for one.
01:23:25
Speaker
Okay.
01:23:27
Speaker
So it is going to deplete 1% as it gains 1% to whatever you're charging.
01:23:35
Speaker
Can I ask you a question there, God, real quick?
Exploration and Weapon Crafting
01:23:37
Speaker
Yeah, what's up?
01:23:38
Speaker
His TV was on.
01:23:41
Speaker
His TV was on.
01:23:44
Speaker
Electricity?
01:23:45
Speaker
Electricity or supernatural?
01:23:48
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know.
01:23:48
Speaker
I don't feel like going up there and talking to that creepy motherfucker.
01:23:52
Speaker
But Ned's going to operate on the assumption that electricity is actually still functioning around this town.
01:23:58
Speaker
So he sees those as, oh, hell yeah, this is extra.
01:24:02
Speaker
We can probably charge this one back up.
01:24:04
Speaker
And oh, this is going to help us out in a tight situation.
01:24:07
Speaker
I better go show these guys what I found.
01:24:10
Speaker
Perfect.
01:24:11
Speaker
Are you going to try to plug it in to see if it charges?
01:24:14
Speaker
Nope.
01:24:15
Speaker
I saw a TV on.
01:24:16
Speaker
I assume the electricity is working.
01:24:18
Speaker
Okay.
01:24:19
Speaker
Excellent.
01:24:20
Speaker
I will have you remove your headset and I will get back to the other three.
01:24:28
Speaker
So you guys go out into the garage and really like almost right away.
01:24:34
Speaker
You notice that Ned is not with you.
01:24:37
Speaker
It looks like he's kind of rummaging through drawers in the kitchen area that you guys walked through to get to the garage.
01:24:43
Speaker
Okay.
01:24:43
Speaker
But that's okay.
01:24:44
Speaker
Arthur is determined to get, basically get what he came here for and to get moving because frankly, the whole thing with his brother freaked him out.
01:24:54
Speaker
Oh yeah.
01:24:55
Speaker
So you guys are out in the garage.
01:24:58
Speaker
Arthur, you already know where your dad keeps the duct tape.
01:25:02
Speaker
I'm not even going to make you roll for that.
01:25:04
Speaker
What I am going to make you roll is a D4.
01:25:09
Speaker
I came prepared.
01:25:12
Speaker
four you find four full rolls of duct tape hell yeah so that is fantastic is there anything else out here you guys are looking for no go ahead
01:25:27
Speaker
I just want to say I want to use one of those rows of duct tape to fasten my bat spike, my bat pickaxe that I made to make it sturdy so I can hit several swings.
01:25:44
Speaker
I am so happy you said that because that is actually what I was going to suggest first off is just duct taping the thing to the bat.
01:25:50
Speaker
And then you decided that you wanted to just smash it.
01:25:53
Speaker
So yes, I will give you that as well.
01:25:59
Speaker
Um,
01:26:00
Speaker
It's kind of a reference.
01:26:01
Speaker
I'm a super fucking nerd.
01:26:03
Speaker
There's a comic book character of a person that took a batarang and just put it into a baseball bat and started killing the Joker's goons.
01:26:14
Speaker
It's an obage.
01:26:16
Speaker
Fair enough.
01:26:17
Speaker
Fair enough.
01:26:18
Speaker
With a kunai, it's just harder because, you know, the one end of the kunai is rounded while the other end is a spike.
01:26:26
Speaker
Right.
01:26:27
Speaker
Yeah.
01:26:29
Speaker
But I will give you that one.
01:26:30
Speaker
You are able to tape it up.
01:26:31
Speaker
But then the rest is a bat.
01:26:33
Speaker
It is true.
01:26:34
Speaker
You're able to tape it up to a point where you feel like, yeah, you know what?
01:26:38
Speaker
I did a good job on that.
01:26:39
Speaker
That is actually going to hold up.
01:26:43
Speaker
Hell yeah.
01:26:43
Speaker
So Ryan is looking for two things.
01:26:48
Speaker
He's looking for a nice five-pound sledgehammer because these rocks are not going to cut it.
01:26:55
Speaker
And he's also looking to see if he sees anything that looks like it's new.
01:26:59
Speaker
Since he was able to see the axe can is new, he's hoping something else will pop up as new.
01:27:05
Speaker
Okay.
01:27:06
Speaker
Before I tell you about the sledgehammer, I want to know from Arthur, is your dad kind of a do-it-himself kind of person?
01:27:14
Speaker
Or is your dad more of like the fuck it, we have money, let's just hire somebody to get it done kind of person?
01:27:21
Speaker
Oh, no.
01:27:22
Speaker
He was absolutely the MacGyver of modern men.
01:27:28
Speaker
He fixed everything.
01:27:30
Speaker
That's why we never bought anything new.
01:27:32
Speaker
Everything was at least duct taped.
01:27:36
Speaker
Every piece was slowly replaced, essentially.
01:27:40
Speaker
Okay.
01:27:41
Speaker
I will say, Ryan, you are able to find a sledgehammer, but I want you to roll me a D100.
01:27:47
Speaker
Okay.
01:27:51
Speaker
This D100 is going to determine its condition.
01:27:56
Speaker
It is a straight 50.
01:27:59
Speaker
Straight 50, okay.
01:28:00
Speaker
So it looks like there is some wear and tear on it, but it looks like it'll be good for at least a while.
01:28:07
Speaker
He kind of just nods to himself, and then he just kind of starts rubbaging through everything to see if anything else looks like it's not as aged like it should be.
01:28:17
Speaker
Okay.
01:28:17
Speaker
Okay.
01:28:19
Speaker
I want you all to roll me an alertness check.
01:28:21
Speaker
All three of you.
01:28:27
Speaker
Uh-oh.
01:28:28
Speaker
56 out of 27.
01:28:30
Speaker
76 out of 62.
01:28:32
Speaker
Is a straight 70 on a 60.
01:28:35
Speaker
Oh, shit.
01:28:37
Speaker
Perfect.
01:28:38
Speaker
You guys go ahead and continue the scene.
01:28:40
Speaker
What?
01:28:41
Speaker
No.
01:28:41
Speaker
No.
01:28:45
Speaker
Is there anything else that I would think that my dad would have like a saw or even maybe like sort of bike bikes for us to take?
01:28:55
Speaker
Well, I mean, if he's a do it himself kind of person, I'm sure he has more tools.
01:28:59
Speaker
But let me ask you a question, Arthur.
01:29:02
Speaker
Yeah.
01:29:03
Speaker
Is he OK with other people touching his stuff?
01:29:07
Speaker
He's not home right now, so it's fine.
01:29:11
Speaker
But he's not really okay with that, right?
01:29:14
Speaker
I mean, he's never outright said something.
01:29:21
Speaker
Okay.
01:29:24
Speaker
Brian is going to look for like a backpack or a duffel bag or something similar just so we can start keeping all this stuff on us.
01:29:31
Speaker
Okay.
01:29:32
Speaker
I'm going to say out in the garage, you're not going to find a backpack.
01:29:36
Speaker
Well, then they have a very boring garage.
01:29:38
Speaker
Okay.
01:29:40
Speaker
Roll me a search check.
01:29:44
Speaker
Ooh.
01:29:51
Speaker
That is a... Let me find my search.
01:29:55
Speaker
Ooh, a 38 on a 40.
01:29:57
Speaker
Perfect.
01:29:58
Speaker
So with that search check, you are able to see, even in the dark, that there is a string coming from the...
01:30:08
Speaker
ceiling and it looks like there may be an attic space up top.
01:30:15
Speaker
Ryan is going to gently pull on the string while keeping his candle kind of close to him so it doesn't blow out.
01:30:23
Speaker
Okay.
01:30:24
Speaker
You go ahead and pull on the string and as you pull on the string, a ladder comes down.
01:30:30
Speaker
A part of the ceiling shifts and a fold-out ladder comes down.
01:30:36
Speaker
Sam is just walking over to the side door and unlocking it.
01:30:40
Speaker
So this way they have a quick escape if they need it.
01:30:44
Speaker
Thank you.
01:30:45
Speaker
Arthur is also going to go up the ladder with Riot.
01:30:50
Speaker
Hey, Sam, roll me a d4.
01:30:55
Speaker
That's a one.
01:30:58
Speaker
Oh, that's disappointing.
01:31:00
Speaker
Gain one sanity.
01:31:02
Speaker
Okay.
01:31:02
Speaker
Okay.
01:31:04
Speaker
for doing something that will benefit you guys in the long run with the possibility of.
01:31:10
Speaker
Okay.
01:31:11
Speaker
So Ryan is going up this ladder.
01:31:14
Speaker
Is it a straight up and down ladder or is it at an angle?
01:31:18
Speaker
I mean, it's kind of at an angle.
01:31:21
Speaker
It's one of those that the ladder kind of folds up on itself and then you lift the panel back up to kind of hide the ladder up in the attic.
01:31:32
Speaker
It's a ladder up into the attic is what it is.
01:31:33
Speaker
Yeah.
01:31:34
Speaker
Yeah.
01:31:35
Speaker
Yeah, so Ryan is going to slowly go up it, holding the candle up so the light goes up first.
01:31:42
Speaker
And keeping his other hand close to the head of the sledgehammer, so that way he can just do kind of a quick jab with it if he needs to.
01:31:52
Speaker
Because he's not sure about the scary, spooky attic.
01:31:57
Speaker
Okay, so let me get this straight.
01:31:59
Speaker
You're going up the ladder.
01:32:01
Speaker
You have the candle in one hand, and you have one hand next to the... Like the top of the... The top of the sledgehammer.
01:32:09
Speaker
So you are going
Unexpected Encounters
01:32:10
Speaker
up this ladder without putting your hands on the ladder.
01:32:14
Speaker
Yes, you said it was at an angle.
01:32:17
Speaker
So I'm imagining it's enough of an angle to, like, kind of very slowly walk up.
01:32:22
Speaker
Those three points of contact.
01:32:25
Speaker
Yep, roll me athletics at plus ten.
01:32:32
Speaker
I'm glad you said plus 10.
01:32:34
Speaker
That is a 65 on a modified 70.
01:32:39
Speaker
You're very lucky.
01:32:40
Speaker
Okay.
01:32:41
Speaker
You are able to get up the ladder with no problem.
01:32:43
Speaker
All right.
01:32:45
Speaker
What do I see in the attic?
01:32:48
Speaker
You see your typical stuff.
01:32:49
Speaker
A lot of stuff looks like it's a little decrepit.
01:32:53
Speaker
Not like the cars.
01:32:54
Speaker
It's more like the stuff.
01:32:56
Speaker
It looks like it's...
01:32:59
Speaker
Not as decrepit as the cars, but it still looks like it's aged a little bit.
01:33:03
Speaker
You see like Halloween decorations and Christmas decorations and just the kind of typical stuff that you would keep in a garage attic space.
01:33:16
Speaker
But what you do see is an empty duffel bag.
01:33:22
Speaker
Brian is going to set his candle down and reach out and sling it over his shoulder, grab his candle, and just slowly start to go back down the ladder.
01:33:34
Speaker
All right.
01:33:35
Speaker
Arthur, roll me an alertness check.
01:33:38
Speaker
You got it, buddy.
01:33:42
Speaker
That is a 37 out of 27.
01:33:46
Speaker
You do not notice that Ryan is coming back down and he straight up accidentally kicks you in the face.
01:33:57
Speaker
Damn it, Arthur, what are you doing?
01:33:59
Speaker
I was coming up the stairs, the ladder.
01:34:02
Speaker
What are you doing?
01:34:04
Speaker
I found a bag.
01:34:05
Speaker
I'm coming back down.
01:34:06
Speaker
It's just decorations up there unless you are hiding something up there.
01:34:11
Speaker
My dad hides things everywhere.
01:34:13
Speaker
Fuck if I know.
01:34:17
Speaker
At that moment, you guys see the door between the house and the garage door open and Ned enters the scene.
01:34:28
Speaker
So give me just a second to let him come back.
01:34:39
Speaker
Hey, y'all.
01:34:40
Speaker
So, Ned, as you enter the scene, you see that Samantha is standing in the garage with her candle, just kind of looking around.
01:34:48
Speaker
You see that Ryan is at the top of a ladder leading to an attic space up above the garage area, and he had just made contact with his right foot in
01:35:04
Speaker
with the absolute center of Arthur's face as he was on his way back down.
01:35:12
Speaker
Arthur, why is your nose bleeding?
01:35:16
Speaker
I kicked your face.
01:35:18
Speaker
Ryan is going to get... Ryan, was it on purpose?
01:35:22
Speaker
No, I didn't know he was there, but... And he spins around and points a finger at Arthur.
01:35:27
Speaker
You had it coming.
01:35:32
Speaker
Fuck you, man.
01:35:34
Speaker
Look, man, I only threaten to put the boot up your ass.
01:35:37
Speaker
I don't threaten to put it in your face.
01:35:39
Speaker
I mean, if this is becoming a thing, maybe you should, you know, think about what you say or what you do.
01:35:48
Speaker
Look, either way, y'all, Ryan, come on down from there.
01:35:51
Speaker
I got us something that's going to help a little bit.
01:35:54
Speaker
Hey, Ned, since you're the new person to the scene, I want you to roll me an alertness check.
01:35:59
Speaker
Oh, I think I can do that.
01:36:03
Speaker
22 on a 21.
01:36:05
Speaker
I'm going to burn another luck point so I can pass.
01:36:07
Speaker
Okay, perfect.
01:36:10
Speaker
You guys are not alone.
01:36:12
Speaker
I don't like that.
01:36:15
Speaker
Oh, what do you mean?
01:36:17
Speaker
In the far corner of the garage, in the shadows, you can tell there's an outline of a person.
01:36:27
Speaker
Nobody else sees that though, right?
01:36:29
Speaker
Nobody else saw that, no.
01:36:32
Speaker
Arthur, hand me your bat real quick.
01:36:34
Speaker
What's going on?
01:36:35
Speaker
Why?
01:36:36
Speaker
I just want to see it.
01:36:37
Speaker
You did some more to it.
01:36:38
Speaker
Let me see it.
01:36:38
Speaker
Let me see it.
01:36:39
Speaker
Yeah, but duct tape on it.
01:36:41
Speaker
It's the smiley face duct tape.
01:36:43
Speaker
I'll throw it before you're able to do anything.
01:36:47
Speaker
You hear a voice from the corner that says, Now, Arthur.
01:36:54
Speaker
You know that I don't like people touching my tools.
01:36:59
Speaker
Nope.
01:37:00
Speaker
I hoing that bat.
01:37:01
Speaker
I hoing that bat as fast and hard as I can at this shape.
01:37:06
Speaker
Go ahead and roll me a... There's not a throw check, so I guess... There's not a throw check, so do an athletics check.
01:37:19
Speaker
You know what?
01:37:20
Speaker
Athletics is a good one.
01:37:21
Speaker
Thank you, Melody.
01:37:22
Speaker
Roll an athletics check.
01:37:24
Speaker
I was about to say, there is like a melee weapons.
01:37:26
Speaker
It can't be firearms.
01:37:28
Speaker
It cannot be firearms.
01:37:30
Speaker
But I will let you roll athletics or melee weapons, whichever one is better for you.
01:37:37
Speaker
Okay, that is fair.
01:37:39
Speaker
Then I'll roll on either one because they're the same.
01:37:42
Speaker
006 on a 30.
01:37:52
Speaker
What's the damage on a bat with a kunai?
01:37:57
Speaker
You throw the bat.
01:38:00
Speaker
The bat whizzes through the air.
01:38:03
Speaker
As you guys are in this dark garage.
01:38:06
Speaker
You swear that there is something in that corner.
01:38:10
Speaker
And you hear a sickening, squelching sound.
01:38:15
Speaker
As the kunai part of the bat makes contact with what you were throwing it at.
01:38:21
Speaker
Out, out, out.
01:38:22
Speaker
Now, I don't want to see what I just did.
01:38:23
Speaker
Get everybody get out of this house now.
01:38:26
Speaker
Let's go.
01:38:27
Speaker
Oh, no, we're not done.
01:38:30
Speaker
That was a pause for a dramatic effect, my friend.
01:38:32
Speaker
Hey, don't stop me from yelling at my friends.
01:38:33
Speaker
Get the fuck out.
01:38:38
Speaker
In the next moment, as Arthur and Ryan get off of the ladder, you see...
01:38:47
Speaker
Arthur's father, with a kunai in his right eye, steps out from the shadows, and he has the same wide eyes and the same giant grin and the same cocked head.
01:39:04
Speaker
And he goes, "'Now, Arthur, your friends are not being kind, and you are touching my tools.
01:39:13
Speaker
You know how this goes, Arthur.'
01:39:17
Speaker
A lesson has to be learned.
01:39:22
Speaker
I told you, get the fuck out.
01:39:23
Speaker
Run, run, run.
01:39:25
Speaker
Go, go, go.
01:39:26
Speaker
Goodbye.
01:39:27
Speaker
And I run away.
01:39:27
Speaker
That Kood-Eyeser collector.
01:39:29
Speaker
Give it back, Dad.
01:39:31
Speaker
I'm gone.
01:39:33
Speaker
