Introduction and Character Introductions
00:00:00
Speaker
Let's Play Pretend is an explicit podcast with subject matter that may be disturbing to some listeners.
00:00:05
Speaker
Content warnings can be found in the episode description.
00:00:08
Speaker
Yeah, Cody's laughing, so it's good.
00:00:09
Speaker
Let's Play Pretend!
00:00:39
Speaker
Hello everybody and welcome back to Let's Play Pretend.
00:00:44
Speaker
My name is Jordan Derringer and I am your DM, GM, keeper, handler, and host.
00:00:52
Speaker
And as always I have with me Mr. Nick Barnett.
00:00:56
Speaker
Politicians and diapers should be changed often and for the same reason.
00:01:02
Speaker
And I also have with me Mr. Breck Black.
00:01:06
Speaker
Hi, Ryan.
00:01:08
Speaker
And my fun fact for this week is that I have watched every single one of Arthur's videos on his YouTube channel, but he does not know that yet.
00:01:16
Speaker
What?
00:01:18
Speaker
Wait a minute.
00:01:19
Speaker
Are you super saying just saying 420?
00:01:23
Speaker
I can neither confirm or deny that.
00:01:27
Speaker
You're the only one in comments.
00:01:30
Speaker
Love it.
00:01:33
Speaker
And as you just heard, Arthur, I have Mr. Matcheck.
00:01:39
Speaker
Arthur's super secret fact of the day is he only poops once every two days.
00:01:47
Speaker
That's absolutely disgusting.
00:01:51
Speaker
It had to be known.
00:01:52
Speaker
No, it didn't.
00:01:53
Speaker
It could have stayed a secret forever.
00:01:58
Speaker
I think I want to end this show now.
00:02:01
Speaker
Well, everybody, thanks for coming.
00:02:02
Speaker
That's a wrap on Let's Play Pretend.
00:02:05
Speaker
See you next season.
00:02:08
Speaker
Arthur died of mysterious circumstances.
00:02:12
Speaker
I mean, the Inside Out man's there, like, staring you guys down.
00:02:15
Speaker
You might just be target number one.
00:02:18
Speaker
But I also have with me Mrs. Melanie Derringer.
00:02:20
Speaker
Hi, I play Samantha, and I have no fun facts today because I wasn't prepared.
00:02:26
Speaker
So...
00:02:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:29
Speaker
I texted you earlier.
00:02:30
Speaker
No, you fucking didn't.
00:02:32
Speaker
I'm going to look it up right now.
00:02:33
Speaker
Look in the group chat.
00:02:34
Speaker
I'm going to.
00:02:35
Speaker
Yeah, he definitely.
00:02:37
Speaker
No, he didn't.
00:02:40
Speaker
Weird.
00:02:42
Speaker
Well, last but most certainly not.
00:02:44
Speaker
Oh, there it is.
00:02:47
Speaker
Nailed it.
00:02:48
Speaker
OK, I had an interview today.
00:02:50
Speaker
I was very distracted.
00:02:50
Speaker
All right.
00:02:51
Speaker
You cock blocking my intro.
00:02:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:55
Speaker
It's just really rude.
00:02:57
Speaker
Last but most certainly not least, our returning guest, Mrs. Shelby Hill.
00:03:02
Speaker
What's up, y'all?
00:03:03
Speaker
I'm playing Elise, and my fun fact is that I don't like anything pumpkin-flavored.
00:03:08
Speaker
I can get down with that.
00:03:09
Speaker
Yeah, that's a good fun fact.
00:03:11
Speaker
I like that.
00:03:12
Speaker
I mean, Elise doesn't.
00:03:13
Speaker
I, Shelby, I enjoy a pumpkin-flavored thing.
00:03:17
Speaker
Beverage.
00:03:18
Speaker
Cake.
00:03:20
Speaker
Pie.
00:03:21
Speaker
Pie.
00:03:23
Speaker
Yes, pie's a good one.
00:03:24
Speaker
Yeah, pumpkin pie, yeah.
00:03:26
Speaker
Shelby, okay.
00:03:29
Speaker
You've made a homemade pumpkin pie before, right?
00:03:31
Speaker
Before I put my foot in my mouth?
00:03:33
Speaker
You bring them to Thanksgiving, right?
00:03:35
Speaker
I am not the one that brings them to our family's Thanksgiving, but I have made pumpkin pie before.
00:03:41
Speaker
I feel like at some event that I've been at, you have had a homemade pumpkin pie.
00:03:46
Speaker
Have you broken into our other family events?
00:03:50
Speaker
I...
00:03:52
Speaker
I suppose at some point I may have made a pumpkin pie for our family.
00:03:57
Speaker
Would you say that in front of a jury?
00:04:01
Speaker
Yes, I would.
00:04:04
Speaker
I have 100% made a pumpkin pie for our family.
00:04:09
Speaker
I was just going to compliment your pumpkin pie is all I was going to compliment.
00:04:13
Speaker
Oh, thanks.
00:04:14
Speaker
Prosecution arrests.
00:04:18
Speaker
slave over them things.
00:04:20
Speaker
Not really.
00:04:21
Speaker
It's a very easy recipe.
00:04:22
Speaker
Let me tell it to you.
00:04:23
Speaker
All of it.
00:04:25
Speaker
Excruciating detail.
00:04:27
Speaker
My notes are going to be weird this time around.
00:04:30
Speaker
That's not what the people want to hear.
00:04:32
Speaker
Hey, you don't know that.
00:04:34
Speaker
That might be what the people want to hear.
00:04:36
Speaker
I guess you're right.
00:04:37
Speaker
Let us know down in the comments if you want a video of Shelby making a pumpkin pie.
00:04:43
Speaker
Alright, so the last episode started with Ryan pass the fuck out.
Recap and New Discoveries
00:04:48
Speaker
Okay, anyway, let's play.
00:04:50
Speaker
No, I'm kidding.
00:04:52
Speaker
More, God, more!
00:04:54
Speaker
Last episode started with Ryan pass the fuck out from the stress of the monster, and you guys managed to catch him before he fell flat on his back.
00:05:04
Speaker
It was just a momentary lapse of consciousness he came to real quick, and at that point, Elise walked in.
00:05:12
Speaker
Introduced herself, told you guys that she was just at the hive and was just rescued by Lance and Charlotte.
00:05:18
Speaker
You guys did some introduction stuff with Elise.
00:05:21
Speaker
She kind of found out who you guys were.
00:05:24
Speaker
You found out who she was.
00:05:25
Speaker
Decided that before you should leave to basically do a rescue mission for Lance and Charlotte at this point, to look around the...
00:05:37
Speaker
movie theater for their stockpile that they said they had.
00:05:39
Speaker
Because what's a rescue mission without weapons?
00:05:43
Speaker
You guys split up.
00:05:45
Speaker
Ryan went upstairs.
00:05:47
Speaker
Samantha and Chris stayed out in the lobby.
Confrontation with the Inside Out Man
00:05:50
Speaker
Everybody else started searching the theaters.
00:05:52
Speaker
Ryan saw in another theater that there was an Inside Out Man.
00:05:55
Speaker
Called you guys all back out to the lobby.
00:05:57
Speaker
Told you about it.
00:05:58
Speaker
Chris froze.
00:05:59
Speaker
The Inside Out Man came out to the lobby.
00:06:01
Speaker
And that's where we start now.
00:06:04
Speaker
At this point, Chris is facing down the thing that...
00:06:08
Speaker
you guys know to have killed him.
00:06:10
Speaker
So, for Chris, I am going to roll a fight, flight, or freeze.
00:06:16
Speaker
And in this scenario, he is going to... Oh, he doesn't get a feint?
00:06:19
Speaker
No.
00:06:20
Speaker
He's a soldier, Melanie.
00:06:21
Speaker
Everybody else gets feint, but Chris doesn't get a feint.
00:06:24
Speaker
That's not true.
00:06:25
Speaker
That's not true.
00:06:26
Speaker
Yes.
00:06:28
Speaker
Could I just say that I personally didn't know that's what killed Chris and I have received spoilers on this episode and I'm a little upset about it.
00:06:37
Speaker
God damn it, Jordan.
00:06:39
Speaker
You have.
00:06:42
Speaker
You have.
00:06:43
Speaker
That is the... Why didn't you get caught up yet, Shelby?
00:06:46
Speaker
It's not out yet.
00:06:48
Speaker
I've listened to all the ones that are out.
00:06:49
Speaker
I've listened to all the ones that are out.
00:06:54
Speaker
This was a revelation from like two episodes ago.
00:06:57
Speaker
Damn it!
00:06:59
Speaker
And yeah, Melanie, I've had you guys do Fight, Flight, or Freeze before too.
00:07:03
Speaker
Uh-uh.
00:07:05
Speaker
Uh-uh.
00:07:06
Speaker
I would say normally it's faint, but I think once or twice it was Fight, Flight, or Freeze.
00:07:11
Speaker
I don't remember.
00:07:12
Speaker
I think you're full of it.
00:07:15
Speaker
I know he's full of it.
00:07:16
Speaker
I edit the episode.
00:07:16
Speaker
Exactly.
00:07:20
Speaker
You can't argue with the editor.
00:07:22
Speaker
You said it once and then you took it back and said, no, not freeze.
00:07:25
Speaker
I mean faint.
00:07:26
Speaker
So you did say it once, but you never let us throw on it.
00:07:29
Speaker
Would it make you guys feel better if he does faint?
00:07:32
Speaker
Yes.
00:07:33
Speaker
Yeah, bro.
00:07:34
Speaker
I don't want him to faint.
00:07:37
Speaker
So in this scenario, his least likely is going to be fight.
00:07:40
Speaker
His middle is going to be flight.
00:07:43
Speaker
And I guess his most likely is going to be faint since that's what you cretins want.
00:07:48
Speaker
And he rolled a four.
00:07:49
Speaker
So the inside out man comes out, makes his noises, and Chris fucking hits the ground.
00:07:56
Speaker
Chris is out of this fight.
00:07:57
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:08:01
Speaker
Since that's what you guys fucking wanted, that's what happened.
00:08:04
Speaker
Yeah, I think you escalated way too quickly, God.
00:08:07
Speaker
I think you did, too.
00:08:10
Speaker
I think we just made a simple question and you made an outrageous alpha.
00:08:14
Speaker
I mean, that could also be too, but real quick, Shelby, could I please get your dexterity number?
00:08:24
Speaker
Why?
00:08:24
Speaker
That's never a good question.
00:08:26
Speaker
Because the way combat works in Delta Green... You don't have to actually tell me why.
00:08:31
Speaker
I'll just tell you.
00:08:33
Speaker
Is it the score or the times five score?
00:08:36
Speaker
Just the regular score.
00:08:38
Speaker
10.
00:08:39
Speaker
10.
00:08:39
Speaker
Okay.
00:08:40
Speaker
So you and Breck are going to go in the same order.
00:08:43
Speaker
Oh, wait.
00:08:44
Speaker
So we're going off decks for, uh... Yeah, that's how combat works in Delta Green.
00:08:49
Speaker
Oh, my dexterity is... I know.
00:08:52
Speaker
I know.
00:08:53
Speaker
Trust me.
00:08:54
Speaker
I have everybody else's decks because I try to take notes.
00:08:58
Speaker
Try.
00:08:59
Speaker
Keyword.
00:08:59
Speaker
Try.
00:09:01
Speaker
So I just rolled a d20 for the Inside Out Man's decks, and unfortunately, he goes first.
00:09:09
Speaker
Yay!
00:09:10
Speaker
I caught hacks.
00:09:14
Speaker
Don't worry, you'll be a close second because your dex is 16 and he rolled a 17.
00:09:18
Speaker
What are we supposed to be fighting this thing with?
00:09:20
Speaker
We don't really have weapons.
00:09:23
Speaker
I beg to differ.
00:09:24
Speaker
We have a rock bat.
00:09:26
Speaker
I have my broom spear.
00:09:29
Speaker
Chris is unconscious, but he has a gun.
00:09:35
Speaker
As soon as I hear Arthur say that, I look down at Chris's body.
00:09:40
Speaker
Can I take the gun off of his body?
00:09:42
Speaker
You can try, but when he passed out, it was like death gripping that gun.
00:09:48
Speaker
Is he still in all of his like military regalia and such?
00:09:52
Speaker
Does he have any grenades on him?
00:09:53
Speaker
Let's see.
00:09:54
Speaker
Let's roll 50-50.
00:09:55
Speaker
How did you say he fell?
00:09:57
Speaker
face first.
00:09:58
Speaker
Okay.
00:09:59
Speaker
So technically he's laying on the gun.
00:10:01
Speaker
Technically.
00:10:02
Speaker
So did he just, I don't know, family guy style just, or did he like crumble to the ground like a normal human passes out?
00:10:14
Speaker
Um, yes.
00:10:15
Speaker
Yes.
00:10:19
Speaker
I rolled a 92.
00:10:20
Speaker
He does not have any grenades.
00:10:22
Speaker
So, you know, sorry about that.
00:10:25
Speaker
You're not.
00:10:25
Speaker
No, I'm not.
00:10:26
Speaker
But anyway, first thing the inside out man does is leaps up to the ceiling and starts to crawl across the ceiling.
00:10:34
Speaker
No, thank you.
00:10:35
Speaker
No, boy, no.
00:10:36
Speaker
And at this point, he basically crawls right over top of you guys and lands on the other side where Chris is at.
00:10:43
Speaker
And that is his turn.
00:10:44
Speaker
So he's by me and Chris.
00:10:46
Speaker
Yes.
00:10:47
Speaker
Yay.
00:10:47
Speaker
Where are we all oriented?
00:10:49
Speaker
So Sam was standing right next to Chris.
00:10:53
Speaker
Because she was by the window, but she walked back over to Chris when the Inside Out man came out.
00:10:58
Speaker
You did not, actually.
00:10:59
Speaker
I just listened to the episode.
00:11:00
Speaker
You were still over by the window.
00:11:02
Speaker
Okay, well then, no.
00:11:03
Speaker
I am over by the window.
00:11:05
Speaker
Yeah, so no, the Inside Out man is just next to Chris.
00:11:09
Speaker
Passed out, not able to protect himself, Chris.
00:11:11
Speaker
Arthur, it's your turn.
00:11:13
Speaker
Oh boy.
00:11:14
Speaker
Well, look around.
00:11:16
Speaker
And is there like, what's in our vicinity on the ground near Chris and him?
00:11:21
Speaker
Carpet.
00:11:23
Speaker
I want to light a candle that I have because we all have candles for some reason.
00:11:28
Speaker
I don't remember what I have.
00:11:30
Speaker
Because Ryan found the candles at the lighthouse or at the treehouse and gave them to you guys.
00:11:35
Speaker
It's been a while since it's been a treehouse.
00:11:37
Speaker
I want to light that candle, throw it at the carpet and try to get the inside out man's attention away from Chris.
00:11:44
Speaker
Roll me a luck check.
00:11:46
Speaker
Got it, buddy.
00:11:48
Speaker
First roll of the night.
00:11:48
Speaker
42 out of 77.
00:11:51
Speaker
Perfect.
00:11:51
Speaker
Also roll me a 50-50.
00:11:52
Speaker
Just a regular 50-50.
00:12:02
Speaker
Okay, good, good, good, good.
00:12:05
Speaker
That's what you wanted.
00:12:06
Speaker
I didn't like that reaction.
00:12:11
Speaker
The reaction was bad, and then my brain went, no, stupid, that's good.
00:12:15
Speaker
So, you're good.
00:12:17
Speaker
Basically, I was making you roll to see if there was asbestos under the carpet.
00:12:22
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:23
Speaker
Because I was going to start poison clouding you motherfuckers.
00:12:27
Speaker
Damn.
00:12:27
Speaker
So...
00:12:29
Speaker
But you rolled successfully, so that didn't happen.
00:12:32
Speaker
But yeah, I will say the carpet does not light on fire.
00:12:40
Speaker
Nice.
00:12:41
Speaker
But there is a candle laying sideways over there now, and it does seem to have grabbed the inside-out man's attention for the moment.
00:12:50
Speaker
Okay, while he's doing that, how far away am I, by the way?
00:12:54
Speaker
Maybe 10 feet from him.
00:12:56
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:56
Speaker
Try to make a rush for it and help get Chris to wake up.
00:13:01
Speaker
I thought he was a soldier.
00:13:02
Speaker
God damn it.
00:13:03
Speaker
I mean, would you be able to keep your composure if you were face to face with the thing that killed you?
00:13:09
Speaker
I mean, not yet.
00:13:11
Speaker
I don't know where the script is going.
00:13:14
Speaker
I'm just trying to fucking hold my shit right now.
00:13:16
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:17
Speaker
We're gotta, we gotta calm down.
00:13:18
Speaker
We gotta fight this.
00:13:19
Speaker
Chris has got to wake up.
00:13:21
Speaker
I will say that you lighting the candle and throwing it would have been your action so you can move to Chris, but you will have to wait until your next turn to try and help him wake up.
00:13:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:32
Speaker
Glad I'd probably help someone if someone else comes to get Chris.
00:13:35
Speaker
We'll see how I'm feeling when that happens.
00:13:37
Speaker
When, if that happens.
00:13:38
Speaker
You got it, Kyle.
00:13:40
Speaker
All right, Samantha, you're up.
00:13:41
Speaker
The inside out man is by Chris and Arthur's trying to get to Chris, correct?
00:13:46
Speaker
Arthur is next to Chris now.
00:13:48
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:48
Speaker
Does Samantha still have her tire iron?
00:13:51
Speaker
Yes.
00:13:53
Speaker
You never told me you put it down.
00:13:54
Speaker
So yes.
00:13:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:55
Speaker
So Sam seeing Chris on the ground, she's going to take her tire iron and kind of grip it a little tighter.
00:14:03
Speaker
And where, where's the inside out man's attention currently?
00:14:07
Speaker
I said that Arthur was able to steal his attention away for a moment with the candle.
00:14:14
Speaker
So I will basically say for this round, his attention will be on the candle.
00:14:18
Speaker
But as soon as his turn is up, it'll be back to Chris.
00:14:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:14:22
Speaker
Is Sam able to move closer to Chris without him noticing?
00:14:26
Speaker
No, not in one turn, because you'd have to go like all the way to the other side of the lobby to get up behind him.
00:14:31
Speaker
She's kind of far away, and so I don't really know what to have her do.
00:14:35
Speaker
And I'm trying to go back through my notes to see if I gathered anything.
00:14:39
Speaker
Oh, so Sam still has her backpack and what she's gonna do is she's gonna take it off and she's gonna open up one of the packages of beef jerky that was in it and throw it in the direction of the Inside Out man to hopefully let him eat that instead of, you know, her crush.
00:15:01
Speaker
So she's sacrificing rations currently, but she'd rather have him eat beef jerky than her, you know, crush his face.
00:15:08
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:09
Speaker
What?
00:15:12
Speaker
What did you just roll?
00:15:13
Speaker
I just rolled a 50-50 to see what was going to happen, and I rolled a 57 for the creature.
00:15:19
Speaker
So yes, his attention went to the bag of beef jerky for a moment.
00:15:25
Speaker
Good, good.
00:15:26
Speaker
So she's going to try and go over to Chris as close as possible as you'll currently let me.
00:15:31
Speaker
You can get right up to him, but your action was throwing the jerky, so you're not going to be able to help get him up or attack or anything.
00:15:39
Speaker
That's fine.
00:15:40
Speaker
She just moves over to him and is just knelt down next to him at this point.
00:15:44
Speaker
Welcome to the Thrilling Shit Club.
00:15:46
Speaker
Thanks.
00:15:48
Speaker
All right, that is going to put us to Ned.
00:15:52
Speaker
So he's kind of turned his back and now he's going after this beef jerky.
00:15:55
Speaker
Fuck yeah.
00:15:57
Speaker
Yeah, he's looking at it anyway.
00:15:59
Speaker
He hasn't made a move to anything yet.
00:16:01
Speaker
I'll have him do a con roll on the beginning of his next turn.
00:16:05
Speaker
But yeah, for now.
00:16:07
Speaker
So I kind of look over at Ryan.
00:16:10
Speaker
Does he still have the handgun from Chris?
00:16:13
Speaker
He does.
00:16:14
Speaker
All right, I kind of look over at Ryan then.
00:16:18
Speaker
and make the handgun thing out.
00:16:20
Speaker
I'm like, you're going to shoot this thing, right?
00:16:23
Speaker
Just looking at you in the eyes.
00:16:25
Speaker
How tall is this thing again?
00:16:27
Speaker
I think last episode I said it was about regular human size.
00:16:32
Speaker
I think I said it was like 5'8 or 5'9.
00:16:34
Speaker
I said it has claws on its hands that are about a foot long each.
00:16:41
Speaker
It has claws on its feet, which helps it to climb around on the ceiling and walls like it did.
00:16:48
Speaker
It's got razor sharp teeth and it has no eyelids.
00:16:54
Speaker
Does it have eyes?
00:16:55
Speaker
It has eyes.
00:16:56
Speaker
Yes.
00:16:57
Speaker
Gross.
00:16:59
Speaker
Ned's gonna do the dumb thing.
00:17:01
Speaker
Ned is still holding the weird rock bat from Arthur.
00:17:05
Speaker
So I look over and see that Ryan still has that gun on him.
00:17:08
Speaker
And I just kind of look at Ryan and I nod my head.
00:17:12
Speaker
And I'm gonna run up and I'm gonna... I know it's for firearms, but I'm gonna do a called shot with this bat.
00:17:18
Speaker
I want to try and bash it in the kneecap.
00:17:22
Speaker
Okay.
00:17:23
Speaker
I'll do the same.
00:17:28
Speaker
Since you're doing a called shot, go ahead and roll me a melee weapons, but do it at a negative 10.
00:17:34
Speaker
Negative 10 on melee weapons.
00:17:36
Speaker
I'm not going to give you the full negative 20 for a called shot since, you know, you're swinging something that's kind of easier to do.
00:17:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:45
Speaker
got a 37 on a modified 20.
00:17:49
Speaker
Okay.
00:17:51
Speaker
So even with the negative 10, you still would have missed.
00:17:54
Speaker
Or even without that, you still would have missed.
00:17:55
Speaker
Okay.
00:17:56
Speaker
Do you want to burn 17 luck to hit him?
00:18:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:02
Speaker
I don't want to die.
00:18:03
Speaker
Really?
00:18:04
Speaker
Okay.
00:18:05
Speaker
I don't want to die.
00:18:06
Speaker
I threw that out there kind of being joking, but okay.
00:18:10
Speaker
Go ahead.
00:18:10
Speaker
If you want to burn...
00:18:14
Speaker
17 luck to hit him.
00:18:16
Speaker
I'm pretty sure I would die if I swung this thing and missed at him.
00:18:18
Speaker
All right, that puts me down to 65 luck.
00:18:22
Speaker
Okay.
00:18:23
Speaker
So I swing this bat right into the front of his kneecap.
00:18:26
Speaker
Yep.
00:18:27
Speaker
And I think I said that's a D8 of damage, so go ahead and roll damage.
00:18:31
Speaker
Roll a dice I didn't pull out.
00:18:34
Speaker
All right, D8.
00:18:39
Speaker
Nice!
00:18:40
Speaker
Okay.
00:18:42
Speaker
He takes eight damage, screams, and turns around to face you now.
00:18:47
Speaker
You have successfully taken his attention off the beef jerky.
00:18:51
Speaker
I think I'm going to need some help over here.
00:19:16
Speaker
You stay away from my brother!
00:19:19
Speaker
And jumps on its back.
00:19:21
Speaker
And she is going to make an attack roll with the knife to try to stab it in the throat.
00:19:29
Speaker
And she rolled an 18.
00:19:30
Speaker
Perfect.
00:19:31
Speaker
So she's going to hit it.
00:19:32
Speaker
A knife is only, unfortunately, a d6 of damage.
00:19:37
Speaker
And she rolled a two.
00:19:38
Speaker
So she tries to stab it and isn't able to puncture with the knife, but she's able to kind of slash and it takes two damage and kind of screams out and now looks really angry.
00:19:54
Speaker
And now it's Ryan's turn.
00:19:55
Speaker
So Ryan, seeing Ashley on this thing's back and not really able to shoot it without, you know, re-killing Ashley...
00:20:03
Speaker
is going to reach into his duffel bag that he has and pull out the fire extinguisher and attempt to spray it in the face.
00:20:11
Speaker
Okay, are you proficient with fire extinguisher?
00:20:15
Speaker
Well, I'm sitting here thinking if there is a way to do it without also blasting Ashley in the face, because she kind of jumped on its back like piggyback style in order to stab it.
00:20:28
Speaker
So her head is kind of like right next to the monster's head.
00:20:33
Speaker
I'm going to be honest.
00:20:34
Speaker
I was kind of hoping it also get Ashley off its back.
00:20:37
Speaker
So if it hits her in the face, the better.
00:20:40
Speaker
Okay, perfect.
00:20:43
Speaker
Sweet.
00:20:44
Speaker
You are pointing an item, pulling a trigger.
00:20:47
Speaker
So I'm going to say, give me a firearms check.
00:20:51
Speaker
Yay, I'm good at that.
00:20:55
Speaker
That is a 20 on a 60.
00:20:59
Speaker
Okay, so you pull out this fire extinguisher.
00:21:04
Speaker
You remember to pull the pin.
00:21:07
Speaker
Good job.
00:21:08
Speaker
And you spray it in the face with the fire extinguisher, which unfortunately isn't going to do any damage, but it is going to kind of temporarily blind it.
00:21:19
Speaker
And...
00:21:22
Speaker
92.
00:21:22
Speaker
You definitely hit Ashley and blind her as well.
00:21:27
Speaker
But Ashley has eyelids to blink the stuff out of her eyes.
00:21:31
Speaker
She does indeed.
00:21:32
Speaker
Still doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like a son of a bitch though.
00:21:34
Speaker
Poor Ashley.
00:21:36
Speaker
And she's just like, Brian, what the fuck?
00:21:39
Speaker
Well, sorry.
00:21:40
Speaker
In the way.
00:21:41
Speaker
Gun.
00:21:41
Speaker
Shoot.
00:21:44
Speaker
Have you not noticed that this is how Ryan talks in like high stress moments?
00:21:49
Speaker
No, I haven't.
00:21:50
Speaker
I've noticed this throughout the entire podcast, like very, very good at talking.
00:21:57
Speaker
And then high stress moments comes out and he just gets the points out.
00:22:01
Speaker
That is the important words that he needed to say.
00:22:06
Speaker
You accidentally to PowerPoint again, bud.
00:22:11
Speaker
So yes, Ashley jumps off of his back and starts rubbing it.
00:22:15
Speaker
Her eyes has his last thing.
00:22:17
Speaker
Ryan is going to basically toss the fire extinguisher at Arthur, like at his feet.
00:22:24
Speaker
I was going to say, okay.
00:22:26
Speaker
And we're just being in Arthur in the back of that too.
00:22:30
Speaker
I realized I needed to specify feet.
00:22:32
Speaker
Otherwise you were going to take that a very different way.
00:22:34
Speaker
Yes.
00:22:34
Speaker
I am like a genie.
00:22:35
Speaker
If you do not specify, I'm going to make it the worst possible outcome for you.
00:22:39
Speaker
Yes.
00:22:40
Speaker
And I'm hoping.
00:22:41
Speaker
Oh, we know.
00:22:44
Speaker
And I'm hoping he saw what I did and will repeat it.
00:22:47
Speaker
All right.
00:22:48
Speaker
Elise, it's your turn.
00:22:51
Speaker
All right, I'm going to run up to this monster and I'm going to hit it under its chin.
00:22:57
Speaker
I have my baseball bat with nails in it.
00:22:58
Speaker
I'm going to swing it under to hit it, hit its chin.
00:23:03
Speaker
Try to like break its jaw.
00:23:04
Speaker
Okay, go ahead and roll me a melee weapons.
00:23:11
Speaker
I don't know how to do that.
00:23:13
Speaker
I've never played this game.
00:23:15
Speaker
Just a D100?
00:23:15
Speaker
Okay, just do it again.
00:23:16
Speaker
Yeah, it is a D100.
00:23:18
Speaker
If you go down on your character sheet in the bottom of the first one.
00:23:27
Speaker
62 out of 30?
00:23:28
Speaker
You didn't put any skill into melee weapons, right?
00:23:31
Speaker
No, I'm a scientist.
00:23:33
Speaker
Yep, so that is out of 30.
00:23:34
Speaker
Did I fail?
00:23:38
Speaker
Yes.
00:23:38
Speaker
Oopsie.
Emotional Aftermath
00:23:40
Speaker
So you go to swing.
00:23:41
Speaker
It's kind of flailing around because of the stuff in its eyes.
00:23:46
Speaker
And it just happens to move out of the way as you swing.
00:23:51
Speaker
Can I do anything else?
00:23:53
Speaker
Can I retreat or do I have to do where I am?
00:23:55
Speaker
You can step back.
00:23:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:57
Speaker
I'm not going to say that you used your whole movement to move like six feet up to it.
00:24:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:02
Speaker
I'll step away from it.
00:24:04
Speaker
Okay, that is going to take us back to the top of the round, which means it is Chris's turn, and he's going to roll a constitution to see if he can wake up.
00:24:14
Speaker
Bless you?
00:24:15
Speaker
Achoo.
00:24:16
Speaker
It sounded like you rolled like ten different dice.
00:24:21
Speaker
No, I rolled two, but one of them bounced out of my dice box and landed on the other side of my desk.
00:24:28
Speaker
But that being said, he rolled an 11, which is a crit success.
00:24:31
Speaker
So he wakes up.
00:24:35
Speaker
But that's going to be his entire turn, is waking up and standing up.
00:24:37
Speaker
Wait, he's standing?
00:24:38
Speaker
He's just going to be like, I'm up now.
00:24:41
Speaker
He's not going to take a half a second?
00:24:43
Speaker
Have you never seen somebody pass out?
00:24:46
Speaker
No, it is instant floor, instant up.
00:24:49
Speaker
It is my world, and he will react how I want him to react.
00:24:53
Speaker
No, um, yeah, he, uh, he takes a second.
00:24:58
Speaker
I'm trying to streamline this combat process so the combat doesn't take the whole episode, Melanie.
00:25:03
Speaker
If it takes the whole episode, it takes the whole episode.
00:25:06
Speaker
Okay, so Chris is sitting up.
00:25:08
Speaker
There you go.
00:25:09
Speaker
Because if somebody who passes out stands up right away, they're just going to pass the fuck.
00:25:14
Speaker
blood flow.
00:25:15
Speaker
Exactly.
00:25:17
Speaker
Why did I invite my wife to play this game?
00:25:19
Speaker
You've said in the beginning that I'm in a brat mood, okay?
00:25:23
Speaker
Yeah, you're right.
00:25:23
Speaker
I did.
00:25:24
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know how it was when you were in a brat mood.
00:25:28
Speaker
The worst part is, Matt, she didn't have any brats.
00:25:30
Speaker
She had mac and cheese.
00:25:31
Speaker
She's in a mac and cheese mood.
00:25:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:35
Speaker
Arthur, your turn.
00:25:36
Speaker
All right.
00:25:37
Speaker
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
00:25:38
Speaker
Hang on.
00:25:39
Speaker
Inside Outman's turn.
00:25:40
Speaker
Yeah, I was hoping.
00:25:42
Speaker
It's okay.
00:25:42
Speaker
He has to roll a con check to see if he can actually focus on attacking somebody or if he's still going to be pissed off about the stuff.
00:25:50
Speaker
Fire extinguisher.
00:25:51
Speaker
Yep.
00:25:52
Speaker
And he failed his constitution check, so he's still trying to... He's still kind of furiously swinging, like screeching and just like flailing his arms around.
00:26:02
Speaker
So he does not get to attack.
00:26:05
Speaker
So, okay.
00:26:06
Speaker
Now it's your turn, Arthur.
00:26:07
Speaker
All right.
00:26:08
Speaker
Arthur is going to pick up the fire extinguisher and do exactly how he saw his friends do and spray a fire extinguisher in that fucker's face.
00:26:17
Speaker
So if you want, I will give you one chance to retcon that.
00:26:21
Speaker
Because, well, because he's still feeling the effects of the first one, so doing it a second time is kind of not going to have an effect.
00:26:28
Speaker
Oh, well, okay.
00:26:29
Speaker
I didn't know if it would, like, reapply it, because I didn't know.
00:26:32
Speaker
Well, he'll have to redo the constitution check on his next turn, so he's... Okay.
00:26:37
Speaker
For this turn, he is basically incapacitated.
00:26:41
Speaker
Would I... Okay.
00:26:42
Speaker
Then there wouldn't be a point to spring.
00:26:46
Speaker
Then I will actually, yeah, retcon.
00:26:48
Speaker
Rewind!
00:26:51
Speaker
Arthur's going to take out his spear and use his opportunity to stab him in the throat.
00:26:59
Speaker
Okay.
00:27:01
Speaker
Arthur's definitely super confident.
00:27:05
Speaker
And he got a 67 out of 42.
00:27:10
Speaker
Actually, that would be unarmed combat, so this would be melee weapons, so it's even worse.
00:27:15
Speaker
67 out of 30.
00:27:19
Speaker
I mean, you can burn 37 luck if you want to.
00:27:24
Speaker
Oh, wow.
00:27:24
Speaker
What a great and totally not stupid idea.
00:27:31
Speaker
I'll miss like a loser.
00:27:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:27:33
Speaker
Then it will go to, do you want to do any movement or anything?
00:27:37
Speaker
Or are you just going to try to attack miss and that's it?
00:27:40
Speaker
Uh, I'm going to, after I attack and totally beef it, I'm gonna equip the fire extinguisher again and prepare to spray him in the face if he stops, if he's able to see again.
00:27:54
Speaker
That's my turn.
00:27:56
Speaker
Okay.
00:27:56
Speaker
Samantha, your turn.
00:27:58
Speaker
Samantha is going to help Chris stand up so he doesn't fall back down.
00:28:05
Speaker
And, uh, she's going to look at him and go, are you okay?
00:28:09
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
00:28:11
Speaker
I was not expecting to see this thing, but let's just get this done.
00:28:16
Speaker
Are you sure you don't need to take a second?
00:28:18
Speaker
Like, I know it's right there, but it looks like the group has it under control.
00:28:21
Speaker
If you want to just sit back, you see him tighten his grip on his rifle.
00:28:26
Speaker
And he's like, no, this, this is personal.
00:28:29
Speaker
She sighs a little bit, but nods.
00:28:31
Speaker
Okay, let's take care of this then.
00:28:34
Speaker
And she's going to give him a small like smile and she's going to run over and go to smack the inside out man in the knee with her tire iron to try and get it down.
00:28:46
Speaker
Okay.
00:28:47
Speaker
I don't know why I'm rolling for that.
00:28:48
Speaker
So... Melee weapons.
00:28:51
Speaker
Fuck.
00:28:52
Speaker
Oh, well, that's not terrible, I guess.
00:28:54
Speaker
Well, we'll see.
00:28:57
Speaker
Ooh!
00:28:58
Speaker
That's a 19 out of a 30!
00:29:01
Speaker
Nice!
00:29:01
Speaker
Okay.
00:29:03
Speaker
I think I said you get a D8 for that because we're basically treating it like a club, so go ahead and roll damage.
00:29:08
Speaker
Fucking hell!
00:29:09
Speaker
I don't have a D8!
00:29:10
Speaker
Hang on!
00:29:14
Speaker
Seven damage.
00:29:15
Speaker
Okay.
00:29:16
Speaker
Seven damage.
00:29:17
Speaker
Perfect.
00:29:18
Speaker
I am going to roll real quick.
00:29:23
Speaker
He rolled a hundred.
00:29:25
Speaker
Oh no.
00:29:26
Speaker
The inside out man hits the ground.
00:29:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:30
Speaker
He's not dead.
00:29:31
Speaker
So he's still prone, but he, it's hard to tell because he has no eyelids, but he looks to be unconscious.
00:29:41
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:29:42
Speaker
You go, go.
00:29:44
Speaker
Damn.
00:29:46
Speaker
Nice job.
00:29:48
Speaker
I almost just want to spray him in the face again.
00:29:53
Speaker
That is going to take us to Ned.
00:29:54
Speaker
Hold on.
00:29:55
Speaker
Hold on.
00:29:56
Speaker
Sam kind of kicks it.
00:29:57
Speaker
You did an action, so you only have movement.
00:29:59
Speaker
No, I'm not going to do anything.
00:30:00
Speaker
She's just kind of like nudge it with her foot a little bit.
00:30:04
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:05
Speaker
It doesn't move.
00:30:06
Speaker
Damn, Sam, I didn't know its brains was in its knee.
00:30:10
Speaker
I should have hit the other knee.
00:30:12
Speaker
Do I see that Chris is back up?
00:30:15
Speaker
You did hit its knee, didn't you?
00:30:17
Speaker
I did, but I didn't knock it the fuck out.
00:30:19
Speaker
Yeah, there you go.
00:30:21
Speaker
Yeah, you can see that Chris is back up.
00:30:22
Speaker
He's kind of been the center of attention of this whole thing, so you can definitely see that he's back up.
00:30:30
Speaker
Chris, I think your girlfriend knocked this thing out.
00:30:32
Speaker
You want to...
00:30:34
Speaker
come put a shell in its head?
00:30:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:38
Speaker
But it's... Yeah, I thought you might... It's not my turn, so... I physically cannot move until God says so.
00:30:49
Speaker
Well, I ain't gonna hit this thing.
00:30:51
Speaker
I'm gonna look over to Ryan and Arthur.
00:30:54
Speaker
Boys, get over here.
00:30:54
Speaker
Let's at least hold this thing down.
00:30:56
Speaker
If it wakes up, let's make sure he can get a clean shot in the back of this thing's head.
00:30:59
Speaker
And I'm gonna grab both of its legs, and I'm just gonna bear hug around both of them so it can't get up.
00:31:06
Speaker
Um, Elise is also gonna help because she resents the fact that he only asked for the boys to use their muscles.
00:31:15
Speaker
I was going to say, since he only asked the boys, you can definitely take an attack if you want to.
00:31:20
Speaker
Nah, Elise doesn't really know what's going on, but she feels like there must be a reason they're wanting Chris to do it.
00:31:26
Speaker
Oh, gotcha.
00:31:27
Speaker
Right around the legs.
00:31:28
Speaker
I'm just going to hug its legs and not let go until I hear a gunshot.
00:31:34
Speaker
You're going to hold it while he shoots it?
00:31:37
Speaker
Well, he ain't going to shoot it in the leg.
00:31:39
Speaker
Yeah, I was going to say, he's holding his legs.
00:31:41
Speaker
Chris is going to put a round in its head.
00:31:44
Speaker
I just want to make sure if it wakes back up, it don't jump back up.
00:31:47
Speaker
Okay, so we still have Ryan, Elise, and Ashley that have turns before Chris.
00:31:54
Speaker
Do you guys want to do anything?
00:31:57
Speaker
Or other than just help?
00:31:59
Speaker
Can I delay my turn in this game?
00:32:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:03
Speaker
I delay my turn...
00:32:04
Speaker
Okay.
00:32:05
Speaker
Ryan?
00:32:07
Speaker
I'm trying to decide.
00:32:08
Speaker
Ryan is going to walk over and kind of grab its wrists and just kind of point the claws away from everybody and just hold on to him.
00:32:18
Speaker
You want to duct tape his hands?
00:32:19
Speaker
You can take the duct tape out of my backpack.
00:32:23
Speaker
Arthur does have some pretty badass smiley face duct tape.
00:32:26
Speaker
I have three rolls of duct tape still.
00:32:30
Speaker
Or we could all just delay our turns and then he can shoot the damn thing.
00:32:34
Speaker
Stop talking with knowledge and clarity.
00:32:41
Speaker
Chris walks over and you see all of you except for Elise.
00:32:46
Speaker
You guys have known Chris since you were kids and he's always been a laid back fun guy.
00:32:52
Speaker
And you see anger and determination on his face like you've never seen before.
00:32:58
Speaker
as he walks over to this monster who is unconscious, forces the barrel of his rifle into the monster's mouth and fires three times.
00:33:11
Speaker
I hope he doesn't miss.
00:33:14
Speaker
It would be unfortunate, I guess.
00:33:18
Speaker
Sam ends up flinching a little bit and just kind of shuts her eyes and looks away from it.
00:33:23
Speaker
And then he kind of taps Ned and Ryan on the shoulders as the monster is twitching.
00:33:31
Speaker
Ew.
00:33:33
Speaker
To kinda get you guys off of it.
00:33:37
Speaker
And you see that as you guys stand up, he gets down on the ground.
00:33:43
Speaker
Like straddles the monster.
00:33:45
Speaker
And you see his eyes start to well up.
00:33:48
Speaker
As he just over and over starts to just beat what is left of this thing's face into an even more unrecognizable pulp.
00:33:58
Speaker
And all you hear...
00:34:01
Speaker
over and over is the sound of his fist hitting this wet meat.
00:34:05
Speaker
Ryan is going to walk up behind him and grab him like under his armpits to his shoulders.
00:34:11
Speaker
It just kind of start pulling him back.
00:34:12
Speaker
Just being like, it's okay.
00:34:13
Speaker
It's okay, man.
00:34:14
Speaker
You got it.
00:34:15
Speaker
We're done.
00:34:16
Speaker
Come on.
00:34:16
Speaker
We need to move.
00:34:17
Speaker
He is openly weeping at this point.
00:34:20
Speaker
I'm going to drag him towards Samantha and Ashley.
00:34:24
Speaker
After he gets one last hit in on the thing, he gets up and lets you move him.
00:34:29
Speaker
You see his shoulders are slumped.
00:34:31
Speaker
You see that anger and determination that was there before is gone.
00:34:36
Speaker
And like I said, he's just openly weeping.
00:34:38
Speaker
His shoulders are slumped.
00:34:39
Speaker
The gun is just hanging by its strap.
00:34:42
Speaker
You guys have never seen Chris like this before.
00:34:44
Speaker
Samantha is going to, as he's close enough,
00:34:50
Speaker
Wraps her arm around his shoulder and kind of just pulls her head into her shoulder and just lets him cry.
00:34:57
Speaker
He doesn't fight it.
00:34:58
Speaker
Ned's going to take off towards the bathroom.
00:35:01
Speaker
Arthur's going to poke the inside out man and make sure he's dead.
00:35:04
Speaker
Doesn't surprise me.
00:35:07
Speaker
at all.
00:35:08
Speaker
Before I say what I'm going to say next, is anybody going to go with Ned?
00:35:12
Speaker
I mean, after I poke the inside out, man, is the is the bathroom where the stock stockade of weapons is?
00:35:21
Speaker
You guys don't know.
00:35:23
Speaker
I'll go with that.
00:35:24
Speaker
What are the options here?
00:35:26
Speaker
You can do whatever you want at this point.
00:35:27
Speaker
You guys are no longer in combat, so you can go with the boys and explore more.
00:35:33
Speaker
You can stay here and see what, if any, drama is going to unfold from this crazy scenario that just happened.
Splitting Up and Searching for Clarity
00:35:41
Speaker
I think Elise will...
00:35:43
Speaker
go with the people that are leaving because she is like I don't think I should be here for these emotions I'm not quite sure what all is going on so I'm just going to scoop John away from this situation okay that's kind of the reason why Arthur left too it's getting a little awkward when the soldiers started crying mad
00:36:08
Speaker
So Ned and Elise and Arthur are leaving Ryan.
00:36:12
Speaker
You're staying with everyone else.
00:36:15
Speaker
Ryan is going to grab the thing's feet and start dragging it down towards where the theater came from.
00:36:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:36:22
Speaker
So that will leave Samantha and Chris and Ashley.
00:36:30
Speaker
Okay.
00:36:31
Speaker
Let me roll a D4 here to see who's seen we resolve first.
00:36:38
Speaker
Okay, I need everybody except for Breck to take off your headset.
00:36:47
Speaker
You see Ned's group heads down the hallway towards the bathroom, and you see Ashley walks up and just hugs Chris with Samantha, and they're having their silent moment there.
00:37:04
Speaker
You grab the creature's feet and start to drag, and it's heavy.
00:37:10
Speaker
I mean, for all intents and purposes, it's a deadweight human body, is what you're moving.
00:37:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:15
Speaker
But...
00:37:17
Speaker
It's not by any means something that you can't do.
00:37:20
Speaker
So, you know, there's no need for a strength check or anything like that.
00:37:24
Speaker
It's just you're just dragging the body away.
00:37:27
Speaker
And you are 100% able to drag it down towards the theater.
00:37:33
Speaker
You saw from the window...
00:37:35
Speaker
that this theater is not where the stockpile or anything was.
00:37:39
Speaker
So you feel pretty comfortable just dumping it behind the door, knowing that you really have no business in that theater anymore.
00:37:47
Speaker
Yes, but he is going to go check the seat that the thing was attacking before just to see if there's anything there.
00:37:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:37:55
Speaker
Because you had said it was like attacking a seat when I first found it.
00:37:59
Speaker
Yes.
00:38:00
Speaker
So you go over there.
00:38:01
Speaker
I'm I'm going to have you roll me a search just because of how like shredded that area is.
00:38:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:10
Speaker
Yeah, I can understand that.
00:38:14
Speaker
Ooh, that is a 22 on a 42.
00:38:17
Speaker
That is a critical success.
00:38:19
Speaker
That is a critical success.
00:38:20
Speaker
That is fantastic.
00:38:22
Speaker
OK.
00:38:23
Speaker
What you find throughout all this wreckage and this area is completely destroyed.
00:38:32
Speaker
And you're searching through it and you find two things.
00:38:35
Speaker
You find dog tags.
00:38:38
Speaker
And the dog tags, as you pick them up and look at them, are Chris's dog tags.
00:38:44
Speaker
And the other thing that you find...
00:38:46
Speaker
You're not quite sure what it is, but it almost looks like a tooth, but not like a human tooth.
00:38:54
Speaker
It looks more like kind of like the Inside Out Man, how it's got like the demonic teeth, like the sharp, pointy evil teeth.
00:39:02
Speaker
It looks kind of like that, but not the same size and or shape of what the Inside Out Man has or had at this point.
00:39:12
Speaker
Is there anything on the tooth, like any markings, any anything at all?
00:39:16
Speaker
Or is it just a tooth?
00:39:18
Speaker
Just looks like a tooth.
00:39:20
Speaker
And when I, when I say like a sharp tooth, I mean, so picture the inside out man is, you know, like I said, five, eight, five, nine, whatever I said, imagine it's teeth a little bit longer than human teeth, but pointed like pointed jagged, like good for tearing and ripping and that kind of stuff.
00:39:37
Speaker
What you are holding now, I'm not going to say like a dinosaur tooth, but it's a hold a pen.
00:39:45
Speaker
It would be about the length of a pen.
00:39:49
Speaker
but the same kind of curvature as like a saber tooth tooth.
00:39:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:55
Speaker
So it's like a big fang or something like that.
00:39:57
Speaker
Yes.
00:39:58
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:59
Speaker
And that is what you were able to find.
00:40:01
Speaker
And I mean, like as far as like markings that you would see on it, it looks like it's been clawed a couple of times.
00:40:08
Speaker
Like it's, it's what the inside out man was attacking was that in the dog tag.
00:40:12
Speaker
So it, there's damage like that, but there's no, no like sigils or anything like that on it.
00:40:18
Speaker
Ryan is going to kind of look over the tooth and just kind of shrug and throw it in his back pocket.
00:40:24
Speaker
Or I guess the backpack, how big it is.
00:40:27
Speaker
Or the duffel bag, I should say.
00:40:29
Speaker
And he's going to look at the dog tags.
00:40:32
Speaker
Do they look accurate?
00:40:34
Speaker
Yes.
00:40:34
Speaker
Like, do they have like all the stuff that would make it Chris's or?
00:40:41
Speaker
Yep, they 100% look like Chris's dog tags.
00:40:44
Speaker
Okay.
00:40:45
Speaker
That is, I, I, I'm not a soldier, so I don't know what all information it has, but yes, it has all the accurate information.
00:40:53
Speaker
Okay.
00:40:54
Speaker
Do I remember seeing the tags on Chris at all?
00:40:57
Speaker
Or at least like a necklace or anything, or...
00:41:00
Speaker
The way he's dressed, you wouldn't really see it.
00:41:04
Speaker
Because dog tags, I know this much.
00:41:07
Speaker
They're not tight around the neck.
00:41:09
Speaker
They're very loose.
00:41:10
Speaker
So with what he's wearing and how he's dressed, they would be tucked under his outermost clothing.
00:41:18
Speaker
So no, you did not see his dog tags, but...
00:41:23
Speaker
You wouldn't have without asking for them.
00:41:25
Speaker
I tried to remember if he got a forgive me knot.
00:41:29
Speaker
He did.
00:41:30
Speaker
And he did?
00:41:32
Speaker
Yes.
00:41:32
Speaker
He would have had to take at least his outer layer off to get that on, right?
00:41:37
Speaker
He would have.
00:41:38
Speaker
You are correct.
00:41:40
Speaker
Okay, roll me a history.
00:41:41
Speaker
Okay.
00:41:43
Speaker
I mean, it's not going to go well, but at least I have the chance.
00:41:48
Speaker
Where is history?
00:41:48
Speaker
I do not use it often enough.
00:41:50
Speaker
Oof, that is a...
00:41:53
Speaker
35 on a 13.
00:41:55
Speaker
Okay.
00:41:56
Speaker
You can burn 22 if you want.
00:41:58
Speaker
No, I'm not going to because I can always just ask him.
00:42:02
Speaker
Okay.
00:42:03
Speaker
Even though I really want to know.
00:42:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:42:07
Speaker
That's what the luck is there for.
00:42:09
Speaker
For your discretion.
00:42:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:12
Speaker
But I have 97 and I don't want to burn that much.
00:42:16
Speaker
That is 100% fair.
00:42:19
Speaker
Okay, yeah, he is just gonna look at them and just kind of stare at them trying to remember if he saw his dog tags or not when he took off his stuff and not quite being able to remember with everything that's happened just
00:42:32
Speaker
pockets them.
00:42:33
Speaker
Especially with the fear of the monster coming into that room because you guys had just ducked into that storage room.
00:42:42
Speaker
So it makes sense that your mind would have been more on that because you and Ned were the two that actually were face to face with it in the hallway.
00:42:49
Speaker
So it makes sense that you would have still been a little rattled at that point.
00:42:54
Speaker
Yeah, it's it's been an interesting like, I don't know, half an hour, hour.
00:43:01
Speaker
Ever since you guys got to the movie theater?
00:43:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:04
Speaker
I will say this.
00:43:05
Speaker
I did not expect it to take the twists and turns that it has.
00:43:10
Speaker
You guys are definitely keeping me on my toes as well.
00:43:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:14
Speaker
You and me both on the twists and turns.
00:43:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:19
Speaker
So he is just going to pocket both things and just kind of shake his head and say out loud, Oh man, I really wish I had a cigarette.
00:43:30
Speaker
And then just start walking back towards the main lobby.
00:43:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:43:36
Speaker
With that, I will bring back Melanie.
00:43:41
Speaker
Do you want me to take mine off?
00:43:43
Speaker
Yeah, because I need to resolve whatever she's doing while you're away.
00:43:47
Speaker
Okay.
00:43:47
Speaker
Just want to make sure.
00:43:51
Speaker

00:44:32
Speaker
No jitters, no crash.
00:44:39
Speaker
So Ned's group leaves.
00:44:41
Speaker
You see Ashley comes over and from Chris's other side basically joins the little... Cuddle puddle?
00:44:50
Speaker
Hug.
00:44:51
Speaker
Well, I wasn't going to say cuddle puddle because everyone freaks out when I say it.
00:44:54
Speaker
But yes, she just kind of silently puts her arms around you guys and...
00:45:01
Speaker
Chris is still defeated, still weeping.
00:45:05
Speaker
You see Ryan kind of looks at you guys and without saying anything, without waiting for confirmation, he grabs the inside out man by the ankles and starts dragging him away towards the theater that he came out of.
00:45:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:45:22
Speaker
Because he wants to, you know, do that for Chris so Chris doesn't have to keep looking at it.
00:45:30
Speaker
I'm back.
00:45:31
Speaker
You aren't supposed to be back.
00:45:33
Speaker
Oh, sure.
00:45:34
Speaker
I thought you said come back.
00:45:36
Speaker
I said Melanie, come back.
00:45:38
Speaker
Oh, sorry.
00:45:38
Speaker
Oh, Jesus.
00:45:39
Speaker
So, anyway...
00:46:02
Speaker
What do you do?
00:46:10
Speaker
You need to tell Cody to leave that in.
00:46:14
Speaker
Oh, that's 100% staying in.
00:46:21
Speaker
okay so samantha is basically cradling chris at this point and she just kind of strokes the back of his head in a reassuring way and looks at ashley what do what do we do
00:46:36
Speaker
Ashley looks back at you and kind of gives you that look of, I don't know.
00:46:44
Speaker
And then kind of like gestures like this.
00:46:49
Speaker
I don't know.
00:46:50
Speaker
But she doesn't say anything.
00:46:51
Speaker
This is all with her face and eyes that she says.
00:46:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:46:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:55
Speaker
I don't know what to do here.
00:46:57
Speaker
Okay.
00:46:58
Speaker
So you give me much to go off of here.
00:47:02
Speaker
I mean, your whole scene, if you want, can just be comforting Chris.
00:47:06
Speaker
You don't have to do anything with your scene.
00:47:09
Speaker
If you think for his character, the best thing would be is just to stand in silence.
00:47:17
Speaker
That is a valid option.
00:47:19
Speaker
I mean, I really don't think there's anything else to do.
00:47:24
Speaker
I don't know.
00:47:25
Speaker
You didn't really, like I said, you didn't give me much to go off of.
00:47:28
Speaker
So I guess she's just gonna comfort Chris in this time of need.
00:47:36
Speaker
I don't like when you roll things.
00:47:38
Speaker
Well, I was rolling to see if he was going to gain his composure and he crit failed.
00:47:44
Speaker
So no, he's still gonna just sit there and cry.
00:47:47
Speaker
Okay.
00:47:49
Speaker
So Samantha.
00:47:50
Speaker
Samantha.
00:47:53
Speaker
Samantha.
00:47:54
Speaker
This is what we call a callback.
00:47:56
Speaker
God damn it.
00:47:58
Speaker
She's gonna kind of...
00:48:00
Speaker
force him to kneel like she's gonna kneel herself so this way he's not just ashley follows standing there crying uh when everybody gets back she's gonna be sitting down at this point so when they come back if he wanted to he could be even like laying his head in her lap so she can just comfort him easier easier
00:48:24
Speaker
Okay.
00:48:25
Speaker
As you do that, Ashley kind of starts rubbing his back and just goes, Chris, are you okay?
00:48:33
Speaker
And he starts to compose himself and doesn't move.
00:48:36
Speaker
He's still kneeling with you guys.
00:48:40
Speaker
His head's still on your shoulders.
00:48:42
Speaker
He hasn't touched you.
00:48:44
Speaker
He has not...
00:48:46
Speaker
Put his arms around you.
00:48:48
Speaker
Anything like that.
00:48:48
Speaker
His arms are still just slumped at his sides.
00:48:52
Speaker
And he sniffles a bit.
00:48:56
Speaker
And he goes, I'm a mess, guys.
00:49:03
Speaker
I'm covered in blood.
00:49:05
Speaker
You guys shouldn't be this close to me.
00:49:08
Speaker
I don't want to get blood all over you.
00:49:10
Speaker
Shut up.
00:49:12
Speaker
It's hard when you have to face your death and then it comes back to haunt you again.
00:49:17
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:49:18
Speaker
I didn't mean to break down like that.
00:49:20
Speaker
I just wasn't expecting that.
00:49:22
Speaker
That was very hard.
00:49:24
Speaker
You have every right to be upset, especially since you said that that's the thing that killed you before.
00:49:35
Speaker
Then you have every right to be scared of it and mad at it.
00:49:38
Speaker
It's nothing to be sorry about.
00:49:40
Speaker
That's a side of me that I don't like anybody seeing.
00:49:43
Speaker
You had to do what you had to do.
00:49:45
Speaker
I mean, you are a soldier after all.
00:49:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:49:49
Speaker
Melanie.
00:49:50
Speaker
Yes.
00:49:51
Speaker
Roll me an alertness check.
00:49:53
Speaker
That's a 54 out of 68.
00:49:55
Speaker
Hmm.
00:50:03
Speaker
Are you laughing?
00:50:04
Speaker
Because your scene is about to end and you're going to hate me.
00:50:07
Speaker
Fuck you.
00:50:08
Speaker
You look up.
00:50:10
Speaker
You look up and you see Ryan coming back out of the theater.
00:50:18
Speaker
He'd been in there for a little bit and you just kind of you're taking stock of the room.
00:50:23
Speaker
You are comforting Chris.
00:50:27
Speaker
Ashley is there with you comforting Chris.
00:50:29
Speaker
And then you remember something before the Inside Out Man came.
00:50:33
Speaker
You saw somebody out in the parking lot.
00:50:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:50:37
Speaker
You turn and look at the glass front door.
00:50:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:50:41
Speaker
You turn and look at the glass front door and you see Chris outside.
00:50:46
Speaker
What?
00:50:48
Speaker
And that's where your scene is going to end.
00:50:49
Speaker
I'm going to get everybody else back in here.
00:50:51
Speaker
No, you take your headset off.
00:50:54
Speaker
You take your headset off.
00:50:55
Speaker
Everybody else is coming back.
00:50:57
Speaker
It's their scene now.
00:51:01
Speaker
I have so many questions.
00:51:06
Speaker
Well, I have to get Shelby and Nick and Matt in here.
00:51:09
Speaker
So you take your headset off.
00:51:11
Speaker
Uh-huh.
00:51:12
Speaker
Bye.
00:51:22
Speaker
So this whole thing with the Inside Out Man happens.
00:51:28
Speaker
Chris has his breakdown.
00:51:31
Speaker
Ned, you can't mentally, you can't deal with this right now.
00:51:34
Speaker
Mm-mm.
00:51:35
Speaker
Mm-mm.
00:51:36
Speaker
So your thought is, okay, I'm going to go and I'm going to search.
00:51:42
Speaker
I'm going to go back to what we were doing because that's just what's going to keep me sane right now.
00:51:48
Speaker
So who's following me?
00:51:50
Speaker
I'm following you because I'm not letting another person go by themselves again.
00:51:55
Speaker
Arthur and Elise are following you.
00:51:56
Speaker
I'm following you because I can't handle emotions right now.
00:52:01
Speaker
Everyone with their aboutships.
00:52:03
Speaker
As you guys come to follow me, all you see is me like... You ever seen one of those speed walkers that's walking as fast as they can without running?
00:52:13
Speaker
One of the mall people?
00:52:15
Speaker
Yeah, one of the mall walkers.
00:52:17
Speaker
Yeah, take those people that do that and then make them 16 years old.
00:52:22
Speaker
The speed that they could move doing that, he rushes into the bathroom.
00:52:26
Speaker
He just smashes the door and power walks into there.
00:52:31
Speaker
Okay, there is no door to get into the bathroom.
00:52:33
Speaker
It's just an open thing.
00:52:36
Speaker
Is there a door on the toilet stall?
00:52:38
Speaker
Yes.
00:52:39
Speaker
I vomit into the toilet.
00:52:43
Speaker
Okay.
00:52:43
Speaker
I'm already going to have to listen to it and try not to bomb it while listening to it.
00:52:47
Speaker
So that's not a good sign, but maybe we shouldn't edit that.
00:52:54
Speaker
Oh, I'm going to, I'm going to put the sound in there.
00:52:57
Speaker
I am a sympathy puker.
00:52:58
Speaker
So just the sound makes me just go.
00:53:01
Speaker
You just made the sound.
00:53:03
Speaker
Perfect.
00:53:03
Speaker
You got your sound right.
00:53:04
Speaker
Yeah, there you go.
00:53:05
Speaker
Yeah, sure.
00:53:06
Speaker
We'll go with that.
00:53:07
Speaker
But that's what you guys see is you see Ned.
00:53:09
Speaker
I get into the bathroom as fast as I can.
00:53:12
Speaker
and I just bash the stalled door open and begin violently vomiting into the toilet.
00:53:19
Speaker
Well, see, now I should have done your scene first, because now no one else is going to hear that.
00:53:25
Speaker
Well, that's because we, uh, now we couldn't close the door.
00:53:29
Speaker
I'm going to just, like, kind of awkwardly look around and be like, fuck, what do I do?
00:53:36
Speaker
What do I do?
00:53:37
Speaker
It's just, Arthur is kind of freaking out and internalizing it.
00:53:41
Speaker
Elise is like kicking open all the rest of the stall doors to see if there's weapons or anything stored in there.
00:53:48
Speaker
There is not.
00:53:49
Speaker
She goes to the other bathroom and does the same thing.
00:53:54
Speaker
They're all empty.
00:53:56
Speaker
Arthur goes to Ned like, Ned, I know this is a bad time, but get that out of your system.
00:54:04
Speaker
We gotta go.
00:54:05
Speaker
We gotta find the storage unit or whatever the hell they were using for weapons and we gotta get out of here.
00:54:11
Speaker
We don't know if that's the only inside out man there was.
00:54:15
Speaker
While they're talking in the bathroom, I think Elise has left and has continued searching because once again, feelings...
00:54:21
Speaker
Are you going to continue searching or are you just going to stand outside and wait?
00:54:26
Speaker
That's going to determine your headset situation.
00:54:28
Speaker
I'll stand outside and wait so that I don't have to take off my headphones again.
00:54:33
Speaker
All right.
00:54:34
Speaker
Sounds good.
00:54:35
Speaker
So you just hear one more real good.
00:54:38
Speaker
Oh, God.
00:54:40
Speaker
Yep.
00:54:41
Speaker
Let it out.
00:54:42
Speaker
Sorry.
00:54:45
Speaker
That was disgusting.
00:54:47
Speaker
You good?
00:54:50
Speaker
I hand you a Sasquatch napkin that was from my parents' souvenir stand.
00:54:58
Speaker
Here, wipe your face off.
00:55:00
Speaker
We gotta get going.
00:55:02
Speaker
Thanks, Arthur.
00:55:04
Speaker
You're welcome, buddy.
00:55:05
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:55:09
Speaker
I flush the toilet and I go to the sink and I start splashing some water on my face from the sink, not from the toilet, Arthur.
00:55:18
Speaker
Ha ha.
00:55:20
Speaker
I'm just saying, what's the use of flushing this toilet?
00:55:25
Speaker
But I appreciate your... I'm sorry, my manners are built in.
00:55:29
Speaker
Alright, alright.
00:55:34
Speaker
I just... I need to get that out.
00:55:38
Speaker
Thanks for checking up on me, man.
00:55:41
Speaker
I wanted to try and just get away, but I appreciate you, you know... Not leaving, I did.
00:55:47
Speaker
You just...
00:55:50
Speaker
that that we'll stick with that um all right let's uh let's go back out there let's let's see what's going on i just i can't look at that thing dude yeah as i say it's okay man we're you're good to search though as long as i don't see that much blood out of one thing again yeah i think i'll be all right
00:56:13
Speaker
I guess just don't look over by that mass of whatever that head used to be.
00:56:19
Speaker
Yeah, no, I'm not going to be looking at that, man.
00:56:22
Speaker
I'm not looking that way again.
00:56:25
Speaker
So, Shelby, while Elise is out in the hallway and, you know, the boys are doing their thing in the bathroom, you're kind of overhearing what they're saying.
00:56:32
Speaker
I want you to give me either an alertness or a search, whichever one is higher for you.
00:56:43
Speaker
Okay.
00:56:44
Speaker
One moment.
00:56:45
Speaker
They are exactly the same.
00:56:47
Speaker
So they're both at 20.
00:56:50
Speaker
Yes, sir.
00:56:51
Speaker
So I want you to give it to me at a plus 30.
00:56:55
Speaker
Okay.
00:56:56
Speaker
So basically, instead of rolling on a 20, you're going to roll on a 50.
00:56:58
Speaker
38.
00:56:58
Speaker
Okay.
00:57:03
Speaker
As you're looking down this hallway, just kind of waiting for the guys to finish what they're doing, you notice... So, you've been to Showplace 16.
00:57:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:57:12
Speaker
Kind of what I am modeling this theater after.
00:57:16
Speaker
So, you have your main concession stand out in the...
00:57:20
Speaker
and you have the smaller concession stands in each hall.
00:57:25
Speaker
Yes.
00:57:25
Speaker
There is a door in this hallway that does not look like it goes to either that concession stand or any of the theaters.
00:57:34
Speaker
I'm going to investigate that door.
00:57:37
Speaker
Okay.
00:57:38
Speaker
I'm guessing at this point you guys are coming out.
00:57:40
Speaker
Yeah, I'd imagine I've emptied my stomach.
00:57:43
Speaker
Yeah, we're coming out of the bathroom.
00:57:44
Speaker
I'm coming.
00:57:47
Speaker
So as you are walking out of the bathroom to meet back up with everyone else in the lobby, you see Elise going the other way.
00:57:56
Speaker
Where are you going, Elise?
00:57:58
Speaker
Hold on.
00:57:58
Speaker
I think I might have found it.
00:58:01
Speaker
Oh, really?
00:58:02
Speaker
Found what?
00:58:03
Speaker
The stash.
00:58:05
Speaker
All right, let's go.
00:58:06
Speaker
Let's look.
00:58:07
Speaker
Sorry.
00:58:08
Speaker
Arthur follows.
00:58:10
Speaker
Isn't that what we're looking for?
00:58:13
Speaker
Yes.
00:58:14
Speaker
The stash is what you were looking for.
00:58:16
Speaker
So you head down that way.
00:58:18
Speaker
You try the door handle and the door is locked.
00:58:21
Speaker
Wasn't I given a key or something?
00:58:24
Speaker
You were given a key.
00:58:27
Speaker
I try the key.
00:58:31
Speaker
Oh, it's so nice to have a smart player.
00:58:34
Speaker
Wow.
00:58:37
Speaker
So Shelby, just for a little bit of background here, since you weren't here for this and this episode hasn't released yet.
00:58:44
Speaker
Shut up, George.
00:58:49
Speaker
The party came into the movie theater, used the key to come into the movie theater, looked at the lobby and went, oh, look, that area goes by the concessions.
00:58:57
Speaker
I'll bet that's where the stuff is at.
00:58:59
Speaker
It's an employee-only door.
00:59:01
Speaker
Proceeded then to walk across the lobby and beat the ever-living shit out of the door instead of just using the key they were given.
00:59:07
Speaker
We were talking about that.
00:59:12
Speaker
They had a straight-on lynching of this door.
00:59:17
Speaker
And I'm just sitting here like, yeah, you can attack the door.
00:59:22
Speaker
I kicked the shit out of it.
00:59:24
Speaker
Did you win?
00:59:24
Speaker
Did you get it open?
00:59:26
Speaker
They finally broke the handle off.
00:59:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:28
Speaker
He's saying we like all of us did it.
00:59:31
Speaker
It was me and Sam.
00:59:32
Speaker
The other two were looking at us like we were dumb.
00:59:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:36
Speaker
But we got in that door.
00:59:37
Speaker
They didn't try to open it with their keys either.
00:59:39
Speaker
So if what I'm understanding is correct.
00:59:44
Speaker
Nope.
00:59:45
Speaker
Well, Sam is the only one that has the key for their group.
00:59:49
Speaker
Still.
00:59:50
Speaker
So yeah.
00:59:52
Speaker
So thank you for using the key.
00:59:53
Speaker
Yes, the key opens the door.
00:59:55
Speaker
What do I see inside the door?
00:59:57
Speaker
It's another door.
01:00:01
Speaker
You see a storage room.
01:00:04
Speaker
Is there anything in it?
01:00:05
Speaker
Yes, there are things in it.
01:00:07
Speaker
Good things?
01:00:08
Speaker
Very good things.
01:00:10
Speaker
You see weapons.
01:00:11
Speaker
You see food.
01:00:12
Speaker
Y'all get down here.
01:00:14
Speaker
I found it.
01:00:14
Speaker
Oh my God.
01:00:16
Speaker
Y'all we picked the wrong door.
01:00:20
Speaker
You see a map.
01:00:23
Speaker
Oh shit.
01:00:25
Speaker
I pick up the map.
01:00:28
Speaker
I opened this cord.
01:00:32
Speaker
I'm not sending it to discord yet until you guys all get back together.
01:00:36
Speaker
Oh, right.
01:00:37
Speaker
There's people with headphones off.
01:00:40
Speaker
No, fuck them.
01:00:40
Speaker
We got the map and we got the weapon.
01:00:42
Speaker
We don't need that.
01:00:44
Speaker
We've been waiting for this map for so long.
01:00:50
Speaker
So you are calling out to the lobby for everybody else?
01:00:55
Speaker
Yeah.
01:00:56
Speaker
Okay.
01:00:56
Speaker
Is that a dumb decision?
01:00:59
Speaker
That's not a dumb decision.
01:01:00
Speaker
I'm going to hear me and come eat me or something.
01:01:06
Speaker
So many damn ways to do.
01:01:10
Speaker
That is not a dumb decision, but at this point, I'm going to have to have you guys take off your headphones again to see what they do.
01:01:17
Speaker
God bless you.
01:01:18
Speaker
Because there is, there is something happening on that end.
01:01:23
Speaker
Sure.
01:01:24
Speaker
Sure.
01:01:24
Speaker
Okay.
01:01:26
Speaker
Bye.
01:01:27
Speaker
Okay.
01:01:28
Speaker
Bye.
01:01:33
Speaker
Ryan, you walk out of the theater.
01:01:36
Speaker
You're going back to the lobby to see what else is going on.
Encountering New Threats
01:01:40
Speaker
You see that Samantha and Chris and Ashley are all on their knees.
01:01:47
Speaker
Just kind of still in their, you know.
01:01:51
Speaker
Depressive state.
01:01:53
Speaker
Yes.
01:01:54
Speaker
I didn't want to use the phrase again, since, again, everyone has such an aversion to my phrasing.
01:02:01
Speaker
The cuddle puddle?
01:02:03
Speaker
Yes.
01:02:05
Speaker
But they're on their knees now just, you know, to kind of relax their legs.
01:02:08
Speaker
You see that Chris has his head on Samantha's shoulder, but is like refusing to touch anybody because, you know, his hands are all bloody and everything.
01:02:17
Speaker
You see Ashley rubbing Chris's back.
01:02:20
Speaker
You see all of the color has drained from Samantha's face as she is looking to the front of the movie theater.
01:02:29
Speaker
Ryan is going to walk forward slowly to see what she's looking at.
01:02:34
Speaker
Sam slowly lifts her hand and places it on Chris's arm to see if she can feel the forget-me-not.
01:02:44
Speaker
The forget-me-not is there.
01:02:46
Speaker
Ryan, as you walk out into the lobby, you see Chris standing outside.
01:02:54
Speaker
Ryan is going to look at the Chris on the ground and Samantha and see where her hand is and then look at the Chris out there.
01:03:03
Speaker
How does the Chris out there look?
01:03:05
Speaker
The Chris out there looks like the demon Chris that you guys met originally.
01:03:10
Speaker
Fuck.
01:03:11
Speaker
Fuck.
01:03:14
Speaker
At that moment, you guys hear from down the hallway, you hear Elise go, guys, come down here.
01:03:18
Speaker
We found something.
01:03:20
Speaker
Fuck!
01:03:22
Speaker
Um, okay.
01:03:30
Speaker
Oh, he's staring right at you.
01:03:32
Speaker
He makes eye contact with you, Ryan, and he grins.
01:03:37
Speaker
He's up against the door.
01:03:39
Speaker
Is that door locked?
01:03:40
Speaker
I don't remember if that door's locked.
01:03:43
Speaker
Elise unlocked it to walk in.
01:03:44
Speaker
Shit.
01:03:45
Speaker
Does it look like he's trying to come through the door?
01:03:47
Speaker
Is he just kind of standing there?
01:03:48
Speaker
Nope.
01:03:49
Speaker
He is just standing there making his presence known.
01:03:51
Speaker
Ryan is going to slowly walk over to Samantha and Chris and them and just be like, guys, I need you to go towards the others.
01:04:01
Speaker
Real slowly.
01:04:02
Speaker
Ryan, I'm not leaving you alone with that thing.
01:04:04
Speaker
I will literally be two steps behind you walking with you.
01:04:08
Speaker
I don't want to be alone with that thing.
01:04:10
Speaker
But that door's unlocked.
01:04:12
Speaker
Considering what we've seen that thing do, I don't think the door being locked would stop it.
01:04:16
Speaker
True.
01:04:17
Speaker
At that moment, you guys hear almost as if he's in your head.
01:04:23
Speaker
You see that the Chris outside kind of smacks the glass.
01:04:28
Speaker
And as he does, what almost looks like a blue force field, we'll say, stops him from actually making contact with the door.
01:04:44
Speaker
This flimsy door won't keep me out.
01:04:49
Speaker
There are other things at play here stopping me from entering and getting to you.
01:04:58
Speaker
The moment Ryan hears this, he's immediately like, oh, but then suck my dick, bitch, and grab...
01:05:07
Speaker
grabs Ryan and Samantha and just starts yanking them towards the back of the theater.
01:05:12
Speaker
To be fair, you are Ryan.
01:05:14
Speaker
So for Ryan to grab Ryan, that's pretty impressive.
01:05:19
Speaker
Sorry, Ryan.
01:05:21
Speaker
God damn it.
01:05:23
Speaker
Samantha and Chris and just kind of start shoving them into Astley towards the where everyone else went.
01:05:31
Speaker
Sam flinches at the fact when, like, Sam flinches when he slams his hand on the door, and she just, she lets Ryan push her.
01:05:40
Speaker
She pushes Chris and scrambles to her feet to head towards the others.
01:05:45
Speaker
Okay.
01:05:46
Speaker
Ryan, give me a power roll.
01:05:49
Speaker
Can I say one thing real quick?
01:05:51
Speaker
Yes, you can.
01:05:52
Speaker
As they start moving on their own, Ryan immediately flips him the double bird.
01:05:56
Speaker
Okay.
01:05:58
Speaker
Okay.
01:05:59
Speaker
I might regret that, but that is a 10 on a 75.
01:06:05
Speaker
Okay.
01:06:07
Speaker
As you are backing away into the hallway, Melanie, I need you to take your headset off.
01:06:12
Speaker
It's only going to be for a minute and then you guys are all going to be back together.
01:06:15
Speaker
But Ryan is going to experience something that you are not.
01:06:19
Speaker
Oh, okay.
01:06:20
Speaker
Sorry, Ryan.
01:06:21
Speaker
Is it because I flipped him the bird?
01:06:23
Speaker
No.
01:06:24
Speaker
Did that help at all?
01:06:28
Speaker
I figured.
01:06:29
Speaker
As you are running down the hallway, you hear in your head, you hear him go, Run!
01:06:36
Speaker
Run as fast as your little legs will carry you, and I will catch up.
01:06:43
Speaker
I will find you.
01:06:45
Speaker
There is no hiding, because you have something that belongs to me, and I want it back.
01:06:57
Speaker
Ryan just souts, shouts down the hallway.
01:07:00
Speaker
Is it these nuts?
01:07:01
Speaker
Cause you can suck them.
01:07:02
Speaker
And then just starts running faster.
01:07:06
Speaker
You see that he is watching you as you disappear down the hallway.
01:07:10
Speaker
I will say the only reason Ryan is this confident is because he saw it punch the wall and nothing happened.
01:07:16
Speaker
Otherwise he'd be shitting himself.
01:07:19
Speaker
That's 100% fair.
01:07:20
Speaker
Okay.
01:07:21
Speaker
Let me get everyone else back.
01:07:34
Speaker
Elise, you called down the hallway and told everyone to come down to where you were because you found something.
01:07:39
Speaker
Yes.
01:07:41
Speaker
Took a minute.
01:07:44
Speaker
And nothing happened.
01:07:45
Speaker
There was silence from the lobby.
01:07:49
Speaker
And then all of a sudden you hear Ryan yelling at somebody.
01:07:57
Speaker
Oh, but then suck my dick, bitch.
01:07:59
Speaker
Chris and Samantha and Ashley start running down the hallway and
01:08:04
Speaker
and Ryan is five, six steps behind them.
01:08:10
Speaker
Are the yells a panicked kind of yell?
01:08:14
Speaker
What are they called the yells?
01:08:16
Speaker
I don't know, like a, yay, you found it, yell.
01:08:20
Speaker
Woohoo, we're coming!
01:08:21
Speaker
What the hell?
01:08:22
Speaker
I don't think it's that.
01:08:22
Speaker
I don't think it's that.
01:08:34
Speaker
My heart's a lot to be so, but I don't think it's that.
01:08:39
Speaker
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the yell is, suck my dick, bitch.
01:08:46
Speaker
Yeah.
01:08:48
Speaker
Man, I went the wrong direction.
01:08:50
Speaker
And then you also hear him yell.
01:08:53
Speaker
Is it these nuts?
01:08:53
Speaker
Because you can suck them.
01:08:56
Speaker
What?
01:08:56
Speaker
Yeah.
01:08:58
Speaker
Fuck.
01:09:00
Speaker
Archer's gonna grab a weapon, because he doesn't know what's happening.
Finding Resources and Facing Future Threats
01:09:03
Speaker
Yeah, Elise is grabbing a gun, and... Yeah, I'm grabbing the first thing I can.
01:09:08
Speaker
That's heavy.
01:09:11
Speaker
Well, you guys have your pick, because you found the stock, so...
01:09:15
Speaker
Is there a sledgehammer?
01:09:17
Speaker
Sure.
01:09:18
Speaker
There are also handguns and shotguns and rifles and I grabbed a sledgehammer.
01:09:22
Speaker
Okay.
01:09:23
Speaker
I want a shotgun.
01:09:25
Speaker
Okay.
01:09:26
Speaker
Okay.
01:09:27
Speaker
Brian runs in and closes whatever door there is and is like, okay, so Negacris is outside and that's bad.
01:09:35
Speaker
Uh-huh.
01:09:36
Speaker
I'm sorry.
01:09:36
Speaker
Come again.
01:09:37
Speaker
He probably can't.
01:09:39
Speaker
He just told him to suck it.
01:09:47
Speaker
We're earning our explicit tag today.
01:09:49
Speaker
Oh, very much so.
01:09:51
Speaker
Well, short version is, is Ashley wanted to talk to her dead brother, summon something that looked like her dead brother was not.
01:09:57
Speaker
It killed her.
01:09:58
Speaker
And then we all ended up here and it's currently outside.
01:10:01
Speaker
He can't get in, but it's angry.
01:10:03
Speaker
And apparently we have something of his.
01:10:06
Speaker
What do you mean we have something of his?
01:10:08
Speaker
As Ryan says that, he's going to turn and stare directly at Chris.
01:10:12
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
01:10:14
Speaker
Wait a minute.
01:10:15
Speaker
Yeah, that's my best guess so far.
01:10:18
Speaker
Chris, what is he talking about?
01:10:22
Speaker
I don't know.
01:10:24
Speaker
This is the first time that I've seen this thing that you guys said was wearing my face.
01:10:28
Speaker
I'm a little freaked out right now, but everything that I have on me is mine.
01:10:32
Speaker
I don't know.
01:10:34
Speaker
Hey, Chris.
01:10:34
Speaker
I don't know.
01:10:36
Speaker
Yeah, what's up?
01:10:37
Speaker
You got your dog tags?
01:10:41
Speaker
Yeah, he unzips his outermost layer and pulls them out so you can see him.
01:10:47
Speaker
Yeah, my tags are right here.
01:10:50
Speaker
I was really hoping you'd say no.
01:10:52
Speaker
And Ryan is going to pull from his pocket a set of dog tags.
01:10:56
Speaker
What the fuck?
01:10:58
Speaker
I'm considering that nobody else heard him.
01:11:00
Speaker
And he looks at Samantha.
01:11:03
Speaker
When he said that we had something of his, I think he meant me specifically, which terrifies the shit out of me.
01:11:10
Speaker
So... Throw the dog tags out towards him.
01:11:14
Speaker
Why do you still have them?
01:11:16
Speaker
Because he killed someone without even flinching in the two seconds he was in our realm.
01:11:21
Speaker
So I don't really want to do anything he wants, just in case.
01:11:25
Speaker
What, you want to do things he doesn't want you to do?
01:11:28
Speaker
That's just asking for a bad outcome.
01:11:31
Speaker
Well, he can't come in and I'm seeing a lot of weaponry in here, so I'm okay being defiant for a little bit.
01:11:39
Speaker
Ned is white knuckling his sledgehammer.
01:11:42
Speaker
Ryan is going to start digging through the pile of stuff that he sees to find something.
01:11:46
Speaker
At least make sure the shotgun's loaded.
01:11:50
Speaker
Arthur nervously holds up his handgun, I guess.
01:11:54
Speaker
I would say all your guns are fully loaded, so you're good there.
01:11:58
Speaker
Arthur, you need a quick lesson on that?
01:12:01
Speaker
I point and shoot, right?
01:12:04
Speaker
Yeah, you know what, bud?
01:12:04
Speaker
I think you should go first.
01:12:06
Speaker
Alright, because my gun is the most accurate, right?
01:12:11
Speaker
Your gun might be.
01:12:12
Speaker
I don't know about you.
01:12:13
Speaker
I just don't want to get shot, just like I don't think you won't get hit in the head with my hammer.
01:12:17
Speaker
Yeah, that's not on the list of things I want to fucking do today.
01:12:21
Speaker
I don't think any of this was on our list, man.
01:12:25
Speaker
How big is this closet we're in?
01:12:27
Speaker
Are we pretty on top of each other right now?
01:12:31
Speaker
No, you've got... I mean, it's not a big room, but you have room to move.
01:12:36
Speaker
It's like your typical storeroom.
01:12:38
Speaker
Like, this would be the room upstairs where they would have... I say upstairs because in this fictional world, this movie theater has a basement.
01:12:49
Speaker
You came in the episode after the basement, so...
01:12:52
Speaker
Another spoiler.
01:12:55
Speaker
Another spoiler.
01:12:57
Speaker
This would be the room on the ground level where they would have like your soda, like how the soda syrup comes in the boxes and stuff.
01:13:08
Speaker
This would be where like that kind of stuff was stored.
01:13:10
Speaker
The butter would be stored.
01:13:11
Speaker
This is just like your regular storage room.
01:13:13
Speaker
But I mean, that kind of stuff takes up space.
01:13:16
Speaker
So it's a it's a decent sized room.
01:13:19
Speaker
Sam ends up picking up a handgun as well.
01:13:23
Speaker
Okay.
01:13:23
Speaker
Ryan is grabbing an AK plus extra ammo, and if he finds a chest rig to put the actual extra mags in, he will do that as well.
01:13:34
Speaker
Okay.
01:13:35
Speaker
You see, as you're picking stuff up, Chris looks at you and goes, um, mind if I take my sidearm back now?
01:13:44
Speaker
Ryan hands it out to him and then goes and finds another one.
01:13:48
Speaker
Thank you.
01:13:49
Speaker
Yeah, he absolutely starts reloading the spent shells.
01:13:55
Speaker
Ryan, I was also looking for a couple of those flash bags that they used.
01:13:59
Speaker
OK, yeah, you can find some of those.
01:14:01
Speaker
OK.
01:14:04
Speaker
The other thing Ryan is looking for is to see if any of this equipment seems military or police or something, because they found it in this town.
01:14:14
Speaker
And Ryan would like to know where it looks like it's a hodgepodge.
01:14:23
Speaker
It doesn't look like it's uniform at all.
01:14:25
Speaker
So you would assume that it's just stuff that they found.
01:14:31
Speaker
Real quick, I just want you guys to go to the Discord and look under the Maps tab.
01:14:38
Speaker
Jordan, let me know if I can find what it is I'm about to send you a couple pictures of.
01:14:43
Speaker
You got us a map, finally.
01:14:48
Speaker
Jordan, I'd like to solve the puzzle.
01:14:51
Speaker
Okay.
01:14:52
Speaker
You got Gainsborough from Eris' last name, didn't you?
01:14:56
Speaker
No, I didn't, actually.
01:14:57
Speaker
Oh, damn.
01:14:59
Speaker
I thought I found the trick.
01:15:02
Speaker
But that is, I'm surprised that I didn't think of that.
01:15:06
Speaker
Yeah, me neither after I read it.
01:15:08
Speaker
Alright, so you're looking for a shotgun without a stock and then a handgun with whatever the hell that is.
01:15:16
Speaker
I'm guessing that's a laser sight underneath it.
01:15:18
Speaker
Yeah.
01:15:21
Speaker
It cannot have the laser sight if that makes you feel happy.
01:15:24
Speaker
I was going to say shotgun.
01:15:25
Speaker
Yeah, that's fine.
01:15:27
Speaker
Handgun.
01:15:28
Speaker
Yeah, no laser sight.
01:15:29
Speaker
No laser sight.
01:15:30
Speaker
Yes, handgun?
01:15:31
Speaker
Sure.
01:15:32
Speaker
Deal.
01:15:33
Speaker
For any fans of firearms, the handgun is a Heckler & Cock MK-23.
01:15:37
Speaker
Are we waiting for it to come to us and knock down this door and we're just going to blast it when it opens up the door?
01:15:43
Speaker
Well, he can't get in.
01:15:45
Speaker
There's some sort of force field that's keeping him out, which I think for now we should not antagonize him.
01:15:55
Speaker
we need to find a way out without him seeing us.
01:15:59
Speaker
I need everybody to roll me an alertness check.
01:16:05
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
01:16:07
Speaker
75 on a 29.
01:16:10
Speaker
Okay, Ned ain't hearing shit.
01:16:15
Speaker
Sam's not hearing it either.
01:16:16
Speaker
41 on a 21.
01:16:17
Speaker
27 on a 67.
01:16:18
Speaker
Okay.
01:16:25
Speaker
26 out of 35.
01:16:28
Speaker
Arthur and Ryan.
01:16:30
Speaker
Everyone else can stay here for this scene because I'm sure as soon as they hear this that they will be informing you of what they hear.
01:16:41
Speaker
You guys hear from down the hall because the door is still open.
01:16:45
Speaker
It's not like you didn't slam it shut.
01:16:47
Speaker
It's still kind of cracked open.
01:16:50
Speaker
From down the hall towards the lobby,
01:16:54
Speaker
you hear what sounds like very loud, very heavy, in absolutely no way can be natural footsteps.
01:17:07
Speaker
Guys, we gotta go.
01:17:10
Speaker
As Ryan hears this, he's gonna grab an extra flashbang and just walk up to the door and get it ready, pulling the pin but not letting it go off yet, and just looks at everyone and is like, is everyone ready to go?
01:17:26
