(The Secret World) MSL-North: Tha Boyz - Episode 3: The Mermaid

[00:00:00] A little more deep. Our wisdom flows, so sweet. Test can see. Transmit. Time to learn the truth, boys and girls. In the 30s, Prime Minister King kickstarted a hedge fund for investigating and hunting various paranormal phenomena.

[00:00:18] Now, fast forward along the line of mysteries, blood, and maple syrup money throughout the 20th century, and you find numerous groups across the country, unified under a loose collective, hunting strange creatures and tackling paranormal threats for profit. Don't believe the lies by the so-called news networks.

[00:00:40] The Secret World is real. Here there be monsters, and the Monster Slayers League North of the American border is out there. Even out in Newfoundland, there's word of a new team known only as the Boyz. And don't even get me started on the video.

[00:01:00] Hi, welcome to One Less Die, a fifth edition The Secret World actual pay podcast. We are continuing our play test campaign of The Secret World, tabletop RPG, Monster Slayers League North, specifically with our crew, the Boyz. Or the boys. So, start speaking of the boys.

[00:01:26] Let's start with them. So, on my right... Right? Wait. Right? Never gonna get good at that. Merrick? Hi, I'm Merrick. I'm playing Marcel Landry. New Orleans born, MP trained, Templar extraordinaire. Cool. Great. And next to Merrick? I'm Dave, I'm playing John Deere, No Relation.

[00:02:02] He's an ex-con who got out of prison to assist with this. Like that's a work release program, I guess, technically. Maybe the Templars like saw the potential in you and just got you out. Yeah. He was in prison and he swallowed a pee and they were like,

[00:02:20] Yeah, basically what happened. My name isn't Rob Ford. God. I swallowed a pee. That's the most terrifying thing, that Gaia chose Rob Ford. Yeah, as the first pee. Yeah, mercenary class, hoody flammel, sorry for the backpack. How about it? Yes. And last but not least, Eric.

[00:02:47] Hi, I'm Jacob Blackstone. I'm a magus. It's been almost a month since I cast this spell. Kind of actually, not too far off. I'm an Innsmouth alumni. Nice. Innsmouth represent. I was a four kid and I went there under a scholarship.

[00:03:09] And depending on the weather, I either wear a very traditional east coast Pico, or a bright yellow raincoat. So I know, like, I remember, Mary, you're a more, Marcell is from New Orleans. Yeah, but are you like, is, is, is John and Jake actually from Newfoundland?

[00:03:33] Or they just, you guys also like newcomers to the area. No, I was from, I was actually from on terrible. And then you moved out. You moved east, not to Newfoundland first, but you moved to, you went to Solomon Island. Or education.

[00:03:48] I went to Solomon Island for education. And then when I joined the Templars, they, they demanded I go here. Okay. What about John? It was a sketch one that was boring out there. That's why I turned over to Leather Corum. You lived in, you lived in Swiftwater.

[00:04:05] I stole a man as a tractor. And he watched me steal it for three days. It would be funny. It's like you were from Swift Current, I think is in sync. Is Swift Current in, in the sketch one? I don't remember.

[00:04:19] Because remember there's a Swift Current in out, out the prairies and then Swift Current in Newfoundland. Yeah. So basically you lived in Swift Current back out there.

[00:04:26] And then you found like, you had, when you got out of prison and they sent you, told you to head over to Newfoundland. He's like, Oh, there's a Swift Current here too. Yeah. So he moved to the same address, 123 Main Street. Yes. Yes, of course. Swift Current, Newfoundland.

[00:04:39] I like that actually. All right. So last game, the last mission. I just have one more point out. So let's go back to the death mechanic for this. Yes. Oh yeah. So when you die, you can take no points and just get back up into E6 around.

[00:05:01] We have updated, yeah. As written, that's how they decided to go with the resurrection mechanics for bees. Okay. So if Rob Forber was actually a bee, imagine if you will, he gets sniped on live TV, head explodes. He's done.

[00:05:18] 30 seconds later, he just gets back up and continues to press conference. And his body is completely regenerated. Like, it's like, huh, anyway, like I was saying, the green belts need to be cleared. He's pretty anti-Gaya. Yeah, he, yeah, why did Gaya choose him?

[00:05:38] She's got a sick sense of humor with that God machine. Anyway, yeah, so. Yes. So to our listeners at home, we are modifying the death rules because they're just not. It's just, it's really straight. Because like, so as written, if you'd listened to the last session, you'll hear

[00:06:03] our like hour long after like post-mortem of the session where we talk about this, but we realize like when you want to be dies, they have a chance of coming back in within

[00:06:14] the same round or within a round if they choose to choose to sacrifice one of their destiny points and choose a side in the void. Or they just wait like 2d6 rounds and come back normal, like as normal with no downside

[00:06:31] with no repercussions, which means that when you are dying and making your death saves, it's actually more time efficient for one of your teammates to bust a cap in your head. Yeah. And let you just respawn.

[00:06:48] That was an interesting conversation I had with the devs when I told them, yeah, so one of my friends was like, what if I just capped my friend rather than like heal them like so they come back in a couple rounds.

[00:06:59] Well, that's kind of psychotic but I was like, oh trust me, I would also have made that person roll like a will save because like that you're not going to get off easy just they just fell to the shadow by a point. Yeah, exactly.

[00:07:14] Yeah, I would almost give that like that'd be a penalty if you fail that will save. You should just take a point to the dark side. I feel like you should just get one regardless. There's no role for that. Yeah. Maybe we'll make that.

[00:07:25] And yeah, so basically like you can do that. So the way we've tweaked it in the setting moving forward, at least for this campaign and probably other campaigns around of this. So you choose luminance or shadow as normal to get back.

[00:07:41] So you sacrifice your destiny if you want to get back like in that in the same fight like within a round or so. And then if you reject the the the choice and your body is salvageable

[00:07:54] and that it's still it's able to be recovered by your friends in the battle or it's still like like it's still able to be like collected after the battle and such. It's 1d6 hours. Is it 26 hours? I believe so.

[00:08:11] Yeah, 1d6 per previous death in hours for your body to recover fully. If you're if you're if it's if the choice is rejected and your body is unsalagable basically misty you're just blood misted or it's completely like just it's not there. It's vaporized.

[00:08:29] It's 1d6 per death in days and the bee and their body and their stuff optional wakes up in a gartha at the center of the earth and needs to find a branch that portals back to the surface closest to where they want to go.

[00:08:48] So you'd have to find your way back to Newfoundland through one of the various like magic spots where Gaia Poe were gartha pokes through. Yep, so that's how we're going to treat it moving forward.

[00:09:03] So there is some actual risk to death because this way you could still fail your mission whereas the rules as written you could you getting back up until you win. Yeah, it this way for us it feels more like less like it's a video game

[00:09:21] and more like there's actually like a real world like consequence while still having the immortality kind of still having the resurrection ability. Yeah, so the way it is if the entire team is fighting a super hard enemy

[00:09:34] and team gets wiped one at a time then the monster just sitting there waiting for someone to come back up. They come up, bam spawn camp you're dead again. Yeah, no mind you when you come back you're fully like healed up and stuff. Yeah, that doesn't matter.

[00:09:50] It might matter now. But yeah, so that's what we're moving forward because like eight hit points is the same as one when the guy does a minimum of nine damage. So that last mission which was sort of mixed but mostly successful results

[00:10:10] was June I had set for June 11 and 12 of 2023. So it is now July 16th 2023 when you guys get the call by Jack your basically the groups handler in the monster slaying league of Newfoundland.

[00:10:29] And the boys are brought into the briefing room and Jack's there and he's got a dossier for you guys. It's like, all right boys, we got a we got a little bit of a pickle down in a small town called Marys town. We are contact within the RNC.

[00:10:57] Officer Wallace has sent us a series of murder or sent as a case that they are they're bumping up to us.

[00:11:08] As it's a series of murders in this town or in the surrounding area that no longer fits the bill for normal mundane police officers within the last week. As you thought you guys got like the look through the folder and dossier and stuff on the table.

[00:11:30] You guys all have a copy of it. And within the last week, four people in Marys town went missing with three of them being recovered out of the out of the harbor a few days later.

[00:11:44] And the fourth body being found on land, the wounds and cause of death seem to correlate between the victims.

[00:11:53] Yeah, and you guys have like a couple like fold again there's more pages of like with some photo photos and so that have been faxed over from from the cops. So we have one Fiona McAllum local 26 year old.

[00:12:09] She's from Harbor Bound, which is in the area taken or she was she went missing on Saturday night turned up on Tuesday. We have some information like some personal information you guys can can look into. There's George Miles construction worker 45 also Harbor bound.

[00:12:29] Oh, yeah, sorry, Harbor bound is the ones that were found in the harbor that the bodies were found in the harbor. Okay. So Fiona was from was lived in Marys town. George Miles was also was found in the harbor. He went missing on Monday turned up on Tuesday.

[00:12:49] He lived in Cupid's and was working in Marys town for contract work and was staying at the local motel, the Braxton Suites. Mike Fudge. He's a lawyer 55 found in the harbor. He was he went missing on Tuesday turned up Wednesday.

[00:13:09] He lives in Marys town retired his wife is still alive. Jasmine 49 James Pudster or Pudster is a teacher 34.

[00:13:24] This one was found on land and this is the one that brought the case to us as this high school teacher who died on or who was found on Friday or went missing on Friday, found on Saturday on land.

[00:13:42] All the previous victims had strange gashes on their upper torso and around their their throats, which the police originally thought was some kind of animal attack or maybe the sharks in the harbor.

[00:13:56] And but it was this one on land that really got us or that they got the cops to send our way. The same jugular ripped out of throats ripped out an amazing lack of blood, even for a land killing that there was no blood really on scene.

[00:14:15] So this is where things kind of got really strange for the cops and they sent it to us. Okay, so I think we pretty looking at it. It could be a number of creatures in the in the secret world.

[00:14:27] But I think we're all look we're all thinking of the one of the same creature. The Empire's good start. Indeed. Hey kids, today's word is exaguination. Yeah. So Can you spell exaguination? Because I can't.

[00:14:46] Officer Wallace is down there with with with the with some other cops just kind of doing some rounds of like investigation. They will be there for you to help you guys if you need anything from them.

[00:15:00] We've been we have some some credentials to effectively deputize you or make it seem like you guys are part of the the RNC. Okay.

[00:15:11] But yeah, you guys need to get your asses over to Maristown and see what is going on with the see see what's killing these people. And put a stake in it's heart if you have to. Okay. Well. Can we drive there?

[00:15:32] Yeah, you know, it's about three hours from St. John's. Okay. You guys actually like thinking back on it. You drove through Maristown on the way to fortune. It was basically on the way to that to the original to the last mission. Okay.

[00:15:48] Well then I guess we'll get to the red BW micro bus with shovels and rates and implement of destruction. And I think if you count all the bullets they are all are implements.

[00:15:59] So I got a question like so you guys have modified the the the the mastery machine with a what is it what exactly is now in it. This is now a roof mounted M2 Brown 50 BMG machine. Sealing. Sealing mounted. Sealing mounted. Sealing. You're right. So.

[00:16:18] Sealing mounted 50 BMG machine gun 200 round box capacity. 660 grain bullet traveling in excess of 2700 meters per second. Damn. That thing will blow your goddamn face in the next county.

[00:16:36] Now I just have to like how are you guys like when you guys open the lat doors like the sliding doors on the master machine.

[00:16:43] How do you guys like have like a box or some kind of like way of like concealing that so like like somebody doesn't like look it is like what are you guys getting out like. It's a giant mounted gun. There's a tall cardboard box always there.

[00:16:56] It's a false ceiling. It looks like we got shag carpet on the ceiling. But you pull that down and then you can pull the machine gun down and you have a very limited arc of fire.

[00:17:07] You only got about 30 degrees at the back doors but in that 30 degrees you can put an ungodly amount of hurt. That's 30 degrees pain right there. I got. Yeah. After the last encounter you guys are like we're not we're not pulling our punches. No.

[00:17:27] We are going to be the A team. All right. Any other questions as you guys are like before you guys are about to head out though like do you have any questions you want to ask Jack about the situation?

[00:17:49] Or me as a GM like as you're looking through the dossiers and stuff because I have information about all the victims. I have some fair amount of information I've gathered from them so. Okay. Okay. Looking over the victim profiles is there anything they all have in common?

[00:18:05] They all lived in and around Maristown. Like Fiona she was a local punk. She lived in Maristown attending Kyan College had several close friends that the cops have contacted George Miles.

[00:18:27] Lived in Cupid's but then moved to or was moving it was in Maristown temporarily like living there for contract work with one of the local construction sites and is staying was staying at the local motel of the Braxton sweets.

[00:18:43] Like fudge lived in Maristown he retired his wife is still alive Jasmine and the cops have talked to her or have had some of his most tastes very good. Jasmine fudge James Pettister was a lives in Maristown. He taught at the Central High School. So, yeah.

[00:19:13] Yeah that's like the school like you talk go to Central High School talk to like see if we can find from this his his former students or even like the principal and so that but where it was going or even you check out this his apartment.

[00:19:28] That kind of stuff. I'll just scroll through the insta. Yeah. Doesn't seem to be any particular commonality among the victims. Not particularly. At least not that we can see on the surface. Yeah. What are the age differences? Fiona was 26. George was 45. Mike was 55. James was 34.

[00:19:55] So pretty about this about like we had college waitings all the way retirees. No commonalities of gender, age, income status. Ethnicity? Are they all the same? They're all white bread. But it's their East Coast. Yeah, they're all Irish descent. Yeah, I'm just trying to find anything.

[00:20:19] Yeah, I know. Straws here. If somebody ate the only four black guys in Tangerine. I guess the monster we're after is dressed as a spooky ghost. I wasn't going to go with that.

[00:20:34] I was going to go with like clearly it's a South African diplomat who turned vampire lord. Trying just can't get over apartheid. Okay, all right. No, I don't think we have any other questions at this time. All right.

[00:20:58] Okay, then you all hop into the Mastery Machine, take the ferry across from Bell Island to the mainland and then three hours later you're traveling into Marystown. That's a quickly load up a new group of maps for Marystown. So yeah, it's June or it's July 16th.

[00:21:26] So it's a Monday when you guys get the call and come in for this. There is a Tim Hortons in Marystown. There's also a subway. Okay, let's just take the subway to get there. God damn you. So yeah. I'm really not sure why I have friends.

[00:21:56] It's a mystery to us all. So yeah, once you guys get into Marystown where do you guys want to try? Where do you want to go first? Well, since we had two victims that were staying at the one motel. One victim. Oh, I thought there was two.

[00:22:14] No, there's one victim at the motel. Everyone else lived in or around Marystown. I think I had Fiona. No, no, they all lived in and around. Oh, yeah, they're all in Marystown.

[00:22:29] Actually, as you guys are traveling or coming in to town, you guys get a call from Jack. So who's picking up the phone? Who's answering the phone? Talk to me. About right there, Jake. Is it Jake? Yeah, bye. Ah yes, Jake.

[00:22:51] Well, we've got some good news or bad news depending on how you want to take it. We've got another death or... No, no, another missing person by the officer Wallace has notified us of. Hi? Sean Byron, deputy mayor of Marystown.

[00:23:13] Forty-three years old and lived in Creston, the D'Alone. Creston? Yes, it's just one of the outskirt villages around Marystown. First one not in Marystown though. I mean, it's all kind of Marystown. It's all neighborhoods connecting to Marystown. How it really is basically just Toronto.

[00:23:40] I'd say more like how like... Springwater is like... Berry. Berry, yeah, that's basically what it is. Okay. Yeah. Or like how some people think Wasegw beach is a really... Or not Wasegw, Wasego is what I'm talking about. I'm confused, Wasegw and Wasegw beach.

[00:24:02] Yeah, it's like how people think Wasegw is, is a really... Just because it's on the same stretch of Lake Coast or Lake Shore. I guess. Kinda. So we have a last known location for this guy? From what I understand he was in his house last night.

[00:24:27] And never came to work this morning and then when somebody went to check on him in the afternoon, or around noon, they found his door wide open. Well if he's missing then we could try to track him.

[00:24:42] But that's good to investigate. They have his first to see if we can figure out where he went. Okay. Since he still could be walking around. His car is also missing. You even make a model subscription? Yeah, they give you one.

[00:24:57] It's like a red Toyota or something like that. sedan, SUV, pickup truck? We'll go with the pickup truck. Does he have his phone with him? Is that a friend? That's a good question. Hey Jack, can we pin the location of his phone? That is a good question.

[00:25:22] When do you guys roll a... We're not doing it. Through Jack, right? He's got the connections. What do you guys have to like... Convince him to do it? Not convince him but see...

[00:25:39] What should I roll for that or should I roll for that or should you guys roll for that? We don't know his stats. Alright, I'll roll for it. I can see about getting that information for you guys. But it might take some time.

[00:26:02] Alright, let's go investigate in the meantime. Okay Jack, we'll keep you in the loop. Click. Okay, so you head over to Creston. And traveling through Mary Sound and such. See there's a bunch of stuff for like a heritage museum.

[00:26:21] There's a bunch of new developments at work being done in the middle of the ground. We actually are passing, I think that motel the one guy was staying in. Let me see... Girl? Fiona? No not Fiona. The construction guy was in the Montana. George Miles.

[00:26:41] Man, I'm getting all these people confused because I keep thinking Fiona was the construction person. No, sorry. I remember thinking it was a lot. I was like why is the one girl the co-pra? Actually Braxton's suite is actually in Creston. So on your way to the house that...

[00:27:03] They give you the address for the one guy. So there's actually two people in Creston that you guys could investigate. Okay. Yeah, you guys are checking out the... One that's missing first. Okay. So you guys arrive in pretty short order to a house in...

[00:27:28] It's sort of a little development. Or it's like a nice development. Fairly new buildings and new houses. And yeah, why don't you guys roll the investigation? Just relax. Also there is a cop car or an RNC car nearby. They're putting up tape. The scene is still cordoned? Yeah.

[00:27:59] They're actually just starting to set up shop there. What do we get for credentials? Just ID? Basically, ID's telling you are authorized to be here. Yeah, we didn't get uniforms enough. No. They just give you the paperwork for it. The detectives don't wear uniforms.

[00:28:16] We're too important for that shit. Marin, are you dead set on rocks? No. Okay. Because we're going by selling. Yeah. Sad. So... I'll go up and I'll flop my badge. Okay. That's a... I'll introduce myself as a detective laundry. Okay. Oh, okay. Officer Fillmore.

[00:28:44] Now, do you use to be a hall monitor? No. That's fine. Somebody's going to get there, our friends. Sure. Do you use to be a what? Officer Fillmore used to be a hall monitor. There we go. He watched that show. That's all right.

[00:29:03] Has anyone else contaminated the scene? No, we just arrived. At least as far as we know, we haven't done a full examination of the house and such yet. Excellent. You boys just stay out here and maintain the cordon.

[00:29:16] My son was here tonight, we're going to investigate the evidence. Okay, one of you guys should probably roll a persuasion for that. Probably you since you're talking. I will give you an advantage though because you are like... You have some authorizations. Yeah, I look the part. 16. Oh, okay.

[00:29:36] Yep. Yeah, we'll just stay out here and make sure nobody comes in after you. Okay. Is the door still wide open? We walk in. How does it look? It does look sort of... So, yeah, it looks like it was a nice house. There are some...

[00:29:55] It seems there was a skull. A little bit of a struggle? Yeah, from the hallway down into the kitchen area. There seems to be... Some of the furniture has been knocked over. Some of the picture frames are scants.

[00:30:11] Like they're shifted over as if somebody hit the wall and knocked them inside. Is there anything appear to be missing? Nothing appears to be missing. Are your TVs still there? Yeah. What did you get for your investigation? I didn't get a role in the investigation.

[00:30:31] Oh, that's what you see. I'm checking a scene so I get an advantage on this now. Thanks to my cluehound perk. That's still not good. So investigation 16... 15. Okay. What does that cluehound thing do? What other... Advantage on all investigation checks to investigate a scene.

[00:31:00] And once per long rest I can just tell you to give me the clue. Gotcha. Yeah, on 15... Are you doing that? No, we'll go with this for now. On 15 you do see the mud rug. The thing that was right at the door. It's halfway down the hallway.

[00:31:25] And you think you also see some scuff marks or even some scratching in the floor. I'll have a look at this. Cool, we're going to take a look. What do these gouges look like? They look like fingernails. Like human fingernails? Yeah, they look like human fingernails.

[00:31:54] Just the one pair of scratch marks? Yeah, the one second. Does it appear as though the scratch marks are leading towards the door or in from it? I think they're going out. The person was being dragged out of the house.

[00:32:11] What you surmise from the scene is the rug, in the scuffle the rug got thrown halfway down the hallway. Probably if the guy was down there because that's where the nails start. And he was being dragged down the whole back to the front door.

[00:32:26] Okay, that's not a good sign. Any blood? No. There's a little bit of blood on a corner of a table, but that's about it. Okay. Are there any marks around the door for you? Like for the front door on the outside?

[00:32:46] Yeah, there's probably some markings of where it looks like somebody tried to hold onto it tightly. You see some fingerprints even in the light on the door frame. It seems like the action happened right here. I guess I'll collect those fingerprints and have somebody run them.

[00:33:10] We can assume it is, but yeah. Still hurt doesn't hurt just in case of somebody else. Okay, I am going to take the form of a Newfoundland dog. I'm going to sniff at that blood. Oh okay. Yep. You're going to go with a roll survival.

[00:33:35] Which I get to do with advantage. Yeah. Is that coaster bigger than normal? Hmm. It's growing price and size. God damn it, it's just happy to see you. Survival. Should I get a plus four? So that's 18. 18? Okay. Eight. Also I'm going to say that...

[00:34:01] Oh, actually no it's not. I didn't roll the game. I did actually roll twice. But I get a bonus to this. Another bonus to this. Ooh. Okay, never mind. No, that's it. Just 18. Okay. Yeah, you start sniffing.

[00:34:22] The trail goes out the front door and out into the street. So are you just going to walk... So you guys walked in with three humans and now there's two humans and a dog. No, I'm not walking out. Okay. I adopted this form for a moment.

[00:34:40] And now I'm going to turn back. Gotcha. Yeah, you get the smell that it went... Like the trail goes out into the street. Mostly it was so that I could get his scent. Gotcha. So when you're ooting a boot?

[00:34:52] So that when we're ooting a boot if I turn back into one and I pick up the scent I can pick up the trail. Yeah, so you get that whiff of the trail. Okay. All right.

[00:35:01] And then I will take a sniffer on the house for anything like weird that stands out. Oh, okay. You got an 18 you said? Yeah. Smell Grave-Turt. Okay. Yeah, you smell deaf and Grave-Turt. All right. Then I will... is there a kitchen with an island?

[00:35:29] Yeah, yeah, it's a nice kitchenette. I'm going to walk through the kitchen and behind the island and then stand up from behind the island as a people. Okay. Nice. Write your non-nuclidean transformations. Yes. My non-nuclidean transformations. Okay. Yep. So anything else while you're in there you're looking for?

[00:35:54] I'd like to go upstairs or check the bedrooms and whatnot and see if there's any indication of what he's been doing. Okay. Where he's been going. Yeah, roll an investigation on that for your searching around and such. 18. Okay.

[00:36:16] Yeah, you see again it's a pretty bachelor's sort of home. Looks like he's got some paperwork and stuff for the town. Like for the town work and stuff in a den.

[00:36:37] But you do actually find in and around some of his like... where like he keeps some of his private affairs and stuff. You find a checkbook and there's a half torn, like a page like half torn from it. It's got a M-E-R in the person's center. Yeah.

[00:37:08] Oh actually I'm looking in there. Sorry, you have a... it's a DZI in the under the person's... ATQ. No, DZI under the name for the person that it would be given to. Was it a partial name? It was just a partial name.

[00:37:30] It's like he ripped it out but he ripped it out really rough. Like just a get out. And he didn't care about how it was. Can I check the ledger of the checkbook to see where that check might have gone and what the amount was? Sure.

[00:37:47] How was that? I don't know. You don't know a checkbook? No. So you got your checks? Yeah. And then you got a little log book of what check went to who for how much? Okay. Yeah, some people don't fill it out but some people do. Gotcha. Okay.

[00:38:03] I'm trying to say he didn't check this... he does usually... This one looks like the last one. I just didn't get a chance. Okay. Do any of the other transactions in the log stand out? Is there anyone else with that last name who needs a log? No. Okay.

[00:38:22] There were... Yeah, other ones are just like regular... You're not sure. Do a little bit of digging into the guy's affairs and find out that those are just like his... Nothing seems weird. Yeah. To do it like Lord of Darkness. Yeah. No. For unholy services. Yeah.

[00:38:47] I mean he was the deputy mayor but... So he was trafficking in demons and stuff. And I hear tell that he's been to Epstein Island. I mean who hasn't? What is... What's John doing? Does he have a computer around? Or a laptop? Phone? Well, his phone is missing.

[00:39:14] Tablet? He does have a tablet in his... In the kitchen. Okay. Like there's like a large... Is no laptop or computer though? No, no laptop or computer but he does have a large... Like a laptop or a laptop or tablet that he has on the kitchen counter.

[00:39:29] Okay, does it unlock? It is password encrypted. Okay. So we know his birthday right? Well one of you guys could roll like do some kind of like a... Try one two three four five. Okay, roll intelligence. Intelligence is super safe. Or intelligence check. Intelligence? Okay. Yeah.

[00:39:52] To see if I can type in one two three four five. Well just to see if that is the right one. Like see how accurate that is. No. Intelligence check. Nat 20. Yeah, yeah. I feel like it's just intelligence fail on his part. You know, you like... Yeah really?

[00:40:08] Yeah. It's equivalent to like getting into a car you stole and pulling down the visor and the keys fall on your hand. Basically you typed in one digit? Yeah. Like it was really not... It was just ridiculous.

[00:40:22] Yeah, you load it up and it does actually have his like his Facebook... His browser app active and it has like Facebook there and stuff like that. Okay, I want to open up the apps that are open right now. What's open on the download?

[00:40:38] I will say because you got Nat 20, his bank account is open. Like his bank website is open. His online bank account. His online banking is open. How much money does that have as a count? Quite a lot for... He does pretty well for deputy mayor.

[00:40:55] Like say somewhere in like triple digits. Like double triple digits? Triple digits? Do I want to get... I think hundreds of dollars. I think you're stuck in the D20 Cthulhu. I am, yeah. Yeah, it's more like a triple... Four or five or six figures? Five figures.

[00:41:20] That's a lot of money to have kicking around in your bank account. Mr. Barrett's mother-in-law apparently. Yes sir. And you do see that there are a few... There are a number of recent... Deposits or like transactions in the last few weeks. Deposits or withdrawals?

[00:41:47] It would be withdrawals from an ATM machine. From a specific ATM machine over the last couple of weeks. Does it say what ATM or does it just say from an ATM? It would give a specific number for an ATM.

[00:42:02] Yeah, it wouldn't tell you what ATM it is or where. But if you... There is a specific number for the ATM and it would tell you that. So if you knew that you went to this ATM on this day, you could find out what that ATM's number was.

[00:42:21] Would it also tell you what time he did the transaction? Or we're only just going to be the date of your bank? Okay. What was the date? You see like a lot of the dates are usually weekends. We'll say the last three weekends he's been making withdrawals.

[00:42:39] How many withdrawals are we talking? Several thousand actually per hookers and blow. That's what it is. Were you in the fucking dust till die? We might be. This is like the dust till time. Either way I'm going to have a picture of that

[00:42:58] just so I have that as evidence slash blackmailing material. Fair. Depending on where that ATM is. I think you're going to eat transfer yourself. That was going to be my next part because I am an ex-con. That is true. And I have a compulsion. I would say if...

[00:43:15] Do you have a compulsion? Yeah, literally it's... Like maniac. What's the word? It says... I have overpowering criminal compulsions as part of me being an ex-con. Oh, okay. That's all I wrote down if you need more clarification.

[00:43:33] Do you want to give in to your compulsion or do you want to try and resist your compulsion? Okay, out of curiosity how successful of a criminal were you? I was in jail. Before you got busted were you successful or were you just an abject failure?

[00:43:51] Relatively successful I'd say. So then is it fair to say that you might have a bank account in the Cayman Islands? Yes. I'd say... Let me actually find out what page that could possibly be on. Backgrounds through three.

[00:44:15] So while he's debating whether or not he wants to steal this man's money... I mean I want to, it's just whether I should. Yeah, well that's the thing. If you want to try and resist it I'm going to make you roll a will-save.

[00:44:27] Do you see any family photos around? Yeah, you see some family. Basically like a media family kind of stuff. The man's unmarried. You see a couple of women on him in various... Whoa! Those are some very, very... That's not what I meant. Basically like...

[00:44:53] He's kind of blown up as an oiled lady. Like okay, I meant like he's got a couple of family photos with him and his folks and some family members and stuff. But there are some women next to him, with him, over a course of several... Hanging off him.

[00:45:10] Yeah, hanging off him that's what I meant. But they are just like... They're at various shindig or festivities and stuff. Okay. I don't think his family is going to miss that money. He's 43 years old too. It's not like we're stealing some child's inheritance.

[00:45:33] No, the guy's a politician right? Yeah, he's already a criminal. So the money is already dirty? Yeah, he's already a criminal. Do you want to give in to your portfolio? Yeah, okay then... We're basically just the... He's just got two devils on him.

[00:45:49] The window pops up and he's like, you should really do this. Then it comes over to the next shoulder and you expect to poof an angel but no, it poofs another angel. I was like, yeah man, you should really do that. Yeah.

[00:45:59] Alright, roll a slight of hand for your... Why? Who do I have to hide it from? Well just make it... I don't know, I'd like to make it... I don't want to do that. No, I guess that is not a bad...

[00:46:14] I guess it would be intelligence because electronics? Yeah. Is there a specific skill for that? No, that's the thing... There's not a lot for... What about for tools? Tools, skills. Skills? Explosives, thieves, skills... In this day and age, I think that might fall under thieves' skills.

[00:46:36] Yep, in this day and age I think that would be accurate. Yeah, I would love that. You're also not just like, oh, you could just like, drip, drip, drip, transfer to this account. This person's account that I've never talked to before.

[00:46:51] You're trying to do it in a way that doesn't... That's not going to look suspicious. So that's what the role is for mostly. To make it not look suspicious. Which is, Bank doesn't realize this is a weird transfer and so we're going to get rid of that.

[00:47:07] So your intelligence plus your proficiency bonus. Okay. Not much, bud. I'll take it. I cannot read this damn thing. It is difficult to read. Not a good role. Seven. It's okay because we were talking about... Were we talking about through this? Or was it just our hands-on world?

[00:47:32] I think that was just out of game. Okay, on a seven? Yeah. You just like transfer everything he had in the bank and then it's free to your king. And the bank account... The bank account locks. Okay.

[00:47:48] Like you get a notification saying that the bank has locked this account. I put an extra zero too many. Before or after he sent the money? After. He didn't critically fail. So, the money is in your king and account?

[00:48:03] I get how much money do I have in that account now? You have... How much did he have? $1,700,000. In a $1,700,000? $1.7 million? Sorry, no. $17,000? $17,000. $17,000. Okay. Thank you for saving me for myself guys. You're welcome. I am terrible at numbers. Why do I run these games?

[00:48:26] We know what bank he used, right? I don't know. He knows what bank he was in. Well, I'm going down the hall towards the bedroom. Okay. So, you're going and seeing what he's finding and stuff. Okay. Yeah. So yeah, you go into the... There. Yeah.

[00:48:47] Also, it's a BMO. I see. BMO or TD Bank? I feel like the Toronto Dominion Bank probably has close ties with the Templars. Except, no, they didn't have Illuminati. Toronto's owned by the Illuminati. The Bank of Montreal if any, but it would be Templar.

[00:49:06] Because they're closer to the French Connect. And TD feels more scummy. Yeah. Should they be dragging because they're green? No, that's clearly the community credit union, which I pulled up like banks in Maristown. It's like BMO, community credit and TD.

[00:49:25] I wonder if just all the banks, their color indicates their allegiance. Like BMO, I believe is blue and red so they have a mixed... I mean, technically some of the banks might even be from a roachy. Like one of the roachy subsidiaries.

[00:49:39] I want to check the logical places for somebody to have a hidden weapon in their bedroom. Okay. Go for it. So what were you doing? I was investigating his finances. I found his checkbook. I have a partial check here.

[00:49:57] Written out to somebody with the last digits of DZ and I. DZ, I. The first letters. First initials. Yeah, the first letters of the name was DZ and I. First letters, yeah. DZ, 15. And Perception, which I now have advantage on. I was also checking with his finances.

[00:50:23] That's much better. 18. Weird withdrawals and he sent all of his money to this weird account very recently. In the king? Yeah. 22 on Perception. Oh, sir, how much? 22 on Perception. Is this Perception or Investigate?

[00:50:39] I would say this is Investigate because it's Perception is if you're like with some investigations when you search. Because it was the same either way. Yeah, you find a shotgun in the closet. Like, just kind of tucked away and a box of shells.

[00:51:00] Okay, well I will put on a pair of gloves. Is that locked up or anything? It's just in there? It probably would have been like locked in like a case, you find a case, like a gun case. Okay, okay, well. With a legal gun.

[00:51:17] It's a legal firearm that he has. Okay, well, you know, I'll take that out of the house because that's important. I'll wear gloves while doing it. I'll put an evidence tag on it. Yeah, the cops are like, oh, okay.

[00:51:33] Yeah, we got to take this to get it checked out. All right, fair enough. Mm-hmm. So what kind of shotgun did I get? It's a shotgun shotgun. Would an Ithaca be... Honestly, I didn't think it would be legal in Canada. Oh, that depends on...

[00:51:57] Okay, right, Chris is talking about a video game Ithaca. Yeah. So which video game? Left for dead. We're back for blood. So it's our friggin' 12-gauge overrunner. Was it the overrunner? I don't remember those games honestly. Are you talking about an overrunner shotgun or a pump action shotgun?

[00:52:20] Pump action. Yeah, it's allowed. Yeah, it's allowed. We're allowed all of the pump actions. Yeah, it's a pump action. It's not on auto. We're allowed to do that. Have you allowed KSGs then? Yes. Yes, no, really? Yeah, I see them up on gun posts all the time.

[00:52:36] They're way too expensive. This is what our audience comes for. Is the gun fondling and Canadian speculation over Canadian gun laws. Mm-hmm. Anyway, yeah. What else should I investigate? Let's look at his closet. Okay. As he's walking up with the gun case out of the closet.

[00:52:55] What if there's more of it in there? You can take another look in there. What kind of clothes does he have in there? A lot of nice suits. Like, basically like, not top-of-the-line like madman suits. We're talking Hugo Boss, not Versace.

[00:53:12] Yeah, yeah, basically like $500, $600 suits rather than like thousands of night suits. Like, those kind of suits that a man who is the deputy mayor of a town or city would have to wear on a regular. Anything weird in there? Gimsuits, made of fence, giant dildos.

[00:53:34] A map to dildo? You do find his porn stash now. He takes his moustache off and just puts it away? Yes. Oh, okay. Doesn't he have a hanger? Yeah. That's its own hanger. Yeah, you find lights in here? You don't really find anything other weird. Alright, so...

[00:53:58] Actually, roll another investigation as you're looking in the closet. Oh, that was bad. Nine. Okay, fine. Oh, suits. Okay. He's just a sawed-off featherlight with a bird's head grip. Yeah, you just find the suits and such. Where else should we look? What haven't we checked out yet?

[00:54:32] I wanted to look in the tablet more. Okay. Specifically, I want to see if his Facebook's open. Yeah, I said his Facebook app was open. Yeah. Okay. I want to look in his friends list or people you might know list to see if there's any of

[00:54:47] the other missing people there. Okay. Okay, yeah. Sometimes we investigate good, but I like that idea. He got all seven of them signed by EJ. It appears that he was friends with Mike Fudge, one of the other people that died. Is that the other guy from this town?

[00:55:13] Yeah. No, he's a contractor. So George Miles was the contract owner. Oh, shit. Yeah. Fiona was the local. Fudge was the lawyer, yeah. Yeah, Fudge was the retired lawyer. James Pettister was the high school teacher.

[00:55:30] And then Sean Byron, the person you're investigating right now is the deputy mayor. I mean, a 55-year-old lawyer and a 43-year-old deputy mayor, they probably know each other. Yeah. They've found this. That's not really weird.

[00:55:43] You also see that they were talking to each other in the last few weeks, like in their DX. Okay. What are they saying? Gonna meet in the usual place. Yeah. Bring in, stuff like that. That kind of conversation.

[00:56:04] They're very short and not like kind of nonscript, just like gonna go to the usual place. Yeah. They're talking like they're criminals. It kind of sounds like... They're saying as little as possible. They're trying to hide something. Yeah, they're trying to hide something. Yeah.

[00:56:20] That's what you kind of get the... It's very shortened and vague. Yeah. It's as if someone's talking to someone about going to buy drugs or something like that. Yeah. You find that they were in... In talking talks with each other and they were talking very sketchily. Yeah.

[00:56:39] About something. Or something they didn't want to be known. Take a picture of that again with my phone, too. Yeah. Aside from that, you find a bunch of app games and stuff they played on it.

[00:56:58] He watched a lot of YouTube videos about local politics and local news in Newfoundland and such. Can I go into his farm on Farmville and ruin it? It's just Farmville isn't a thing on Facebook anymore. Fuck yeah. Is it? Probably.

[00:57:16] I don't know if anybody plays it but I'm sure it's still a thing. He plays that word game that everybody was playing last year. Wordle? Wordle, yeah. He plays Wordle a lot. Okay. Is it good? No. So yeah, that's what you get off the tablet. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

[00:57:42] Okay. Well, I mean he had a shotgun. He might have been going for it when he got dragged out because he was headed in the direction of the bedroom. Yes. I'm going to say that this was also a single story bed, like a bungalow kind of house.

[00:58:02] So there's no second floor and everything was on the ceiling. No basement or nothing? It might have had a basement. It would have had a basement. Is there anything in his medicine cabinet? The usual kind of stuff, like nothing interesting? Not really. Any neocotics? No. No.

[00:58:23] Just like basic tile and all and edville and some Viagra. It's kind of just in the garage, eh? No, yeah. You check the garage, you open it, you go in there and you find it's empty. And it's basically just like there's some pink hands and some desk area.

[00:58:40] But that's about it. A lawnmower in the corner. So did you tell us anything about his mind? Yeah, when you... Did you mention his ATM was rolls? Yeah, when you brought up that you were checking his finances with the checks,

[00:58:54] I mentioned that he was making some weird withdrawals through this ATM. If we can track that down, we can start without it. That was through his credit card. Those check. Those transactions. Yeah, okay. Credit card? Yeah, he was using a credit card for the transactions. The ATM? Yep.

[00:59:12] Can you do that? Yeah. Can you? He's basically taking cash advance. But why are we taking cash advances? You got 17 grand in the bank. That's a very good question. Okay, maybe it's a debt. Yeah. It might be a debt. So either way.

[00:59:29] So we've got an ATM number and we know what bank it's from. So we can just call that bank and figure out where that ATM number is. Can we not? If we can pass our credentials.

[00:59:42] This one's going to be a pass credentials thing because somebody recently transferred almost all the money out of that bank account. And the bank found out about it and immediately blocked it. No, no, no. Find out where that ATM is. We don't need to know anything.

[01:00:00] We just need to know, hey, where's ATM number or ATM? Oh, okay. I get you. That's all we need to know. We don't even know what his account specifically is. Even if we did, we can say yes, his account's under suspicion. We need information on this. Gotcha. Yeah.

[01:00:18] Okay, so who's you guys going to go to the branch, the bank branch directly? What are we doing? Just going to call them. Okay. We call them up and we ask them where ATM 431 is. Okay. Somebody roll to do that, to talk about. Okay.

[01:00:42] That's the shortest spin I've ever seen from that. 16. It's charisma 19. Persuasion 21. 21? Okay. Yeah. The bank tells you that it's that that ATM is used by the local or by a local business. The mermaid strip club. The club up. Kind of funny. All right, thanks. Okay.

[01:01:22] So our friend fucking loved the rippers. You guys want to go for a beer and beans and some tea? You want to go for a rip is what you're trying to say? All right, we don't know that's the thing yet, but it is the best lead we've got.

[01:01:39] We should probably go over to Fudge's place and see if we can tie him to that location or any other location. There is also the- That might be their meet up direction for all we know. Yeah, and the motel room is also like in the same like me.

[01:01:55] The motel first, this is on the way. Fair. Fiona's a stripper. Fiona's a stripper. She's the only girl on the list. Yeah, checks out actually. Unless it's a gay strip club. Could be. Could be. Or she's one of the things that moves going into the-

[01:02:18] I mean, I suppose it's a possibility. Yeah, any number of those options. Yeah, yeah, though I mean, I don't know how often you've been in a strip club, but the number of women in there that are not strippers is very low. But not. Not.

[01:02:32] It's not usually zero, but it is very low. So you guys are going to Fudge's place or you're going to the motel room first? Well, the motel's right on the way. Yeah, Fudge lives- Oh, and tie somebody up. A third victim to that facility.

[01:02:51] Yeah, Fudge lives in Marystown, which is again like farther away, like in the direction of where the mermaid is and some of that, but also like away from Creston, which is where you guys are currently in. Okay. Okay, so you go down to Braxton Suites.

[01:03:06] It's a nice quaint little motel. Motel and cordoned off? That one is the door to it is, but it's like nobody's watching your Anna then. It's just cordoned off because it's an active- potential active front. Okay. So you guys go to the front desk, I guess. Yes.

[01:03:32] Yeah, there's a large portley guy there and it's like, yeah, can I help you? Do you need a room? A very specific one, yes. Oh. Then you flash the cordoned off. Yeah. Oh, that one. You should get badges made.

[01:03:49] You shouldn't say this right in front of the guy. Sorry. You know too much. Oh, it was blood. They look like vampires. Oh no, we're the real monsters. It was us all along. Wait, are we the baddies?

[01:04:12] And I have to learn a time travel spell so I can go back in time so we can start abducting these people to drain them of blood. So that we can wind up here and start this time loop going. So don't start a paradox. Exactly.

[01:04:27] All right, so you guys, yeah, you flash the credentials. The guy's like, it's been pretty noteworthy thing for this little, for this guy in his, in this motel. So he gets the keys and gives it to you guys. Excellent. Thank you.

[01:04:48] And you guys head out to the, like around the corner of the, of it to the outside door and open it up. And you find this pretty much, it's like, it's not tidy. Like it's obviously it wasn't kept tidy because nobody was allowed in aside from authorities.

[01:05:08] It just looks like a guy's like permanent or like temporary residence. Just a regular everyday normal guy. Yeah. You find, what do you find in this guy's? You find like some extra pairs of clothing in the drawer. You're looking around.

[01:05:29] You find like the bed was basically just like disheveled the coffee maker still has a cold pot of coffee, like half a cup, have a pot in there.

[01:05:40] You find some, yeah, some extra clothing, some extra gear, but otherwise like nothing really out of the ordinary in the motel room. Do you find any of these in electronics? Roll initiative, or roll initiative. Roll initiative. Ah shit. Roll initiative. Mimics everywhere. Yeah. Everything was a mimic.

[01:06:01] The hotel is a mimic. 19. 19. You find a work, like you find a laptop. Income. It is password protected. Ah damn it. However with his Thieves kit he could, or John could technically use that Thieves kit to try. We have his file though right? You have. He's dossier?

[01:06:33] You have a dossier on the guy, yeah. You have like some information to help you figure it out. You probably know who his wife's name, her birthday, his birthday. Yeah I can start typing Tom. For you it would be an insight check. Yeah we have to run inside.

[01:06:46] Yeah maybe him. No. Here, electronics guy. Here's the dossier. I am the electronics guy but I'll do it anyway. You're probably the closest on this one. Am I? Yeah. If the role is intelligence it's not me. It's probably you then. It's you. Okay. An insight is not.

[01:07:02] That's wisdom. I'm the one who should be going through the dossier. Alright start finding me some suggested passwords. Your history wasn't my thing. You're like taking it. It was upside down. Give me some suggested passwords. 18. So that's gonna be a 24.

[01:07:37] Okay so you know that like he, when he wasn't like out to different contract sites and stuff he lived in Cupid's Newfoundland with his girlfriend and their lab, and their Labrador dog Sophie. Alright let's try this.

[01:07:53] The girlfriend is named, I was going to switch the dog name so the dog's name is Sophie. The girlfriend's name is Boots. Grover. Yeah the girlfriend's name is like Clarice. Clarice? Yeah. Try Sophie. Alright. I'm gonna try a few different passwords.

[01:08:14] We'll do Sophie, we'll do Claire, we'll do some combination. There's some like yeah you find cute and you have like you just like a more spread. We try to find passwords. That's an 18 plus 4, 22 intelligence. Yeah it was a few different passwords. You tried 22.

[01:08:33] You try Sophie it was like immediately. People like their dogs better than their girlfriends. Alright. So let's investigate the laptop. What's in his recent bar? His recent bar, what's open?

[01:08:49] Yeah what's open he had Instagram on open with a bunch of photos and stuff of him and his girlfriend and his dog and family and dog and around like the coastline and stuff like that. Basically like standard pictures.

[01:09:01] You see that he was like messaging his girlfriend and such. But yeah in the private messaging on the Instagram there's some messages between him and his girlfriend. Apparently things were rocky. Sophie went to the strip club.

[01:09:20] And you see that like yeah she was threatening to take Sophie with her if he doesn't come home after this contract is done. Because apparently he's been taking contract after contract and such. Do we have jobs? Okay. So we have his finances up there?

[01:09:39] He does have a website, oh I linked. It's not open. Alright. So you'd have to like, that would be a pretty hard role but you could try and get into his bank account. Well let's see if it's the same as his goddamn Windows password.

[01:09:58] Let's see if it's Sophie. Well you also have to find, you'd also probably need his debit card number. You'd have to type in everything. That depends. Does it auto save? It might be safe. Mine I just have to touch my finger to the... That's true.

[01:10:16] Screen and it puts all that in for me. Well that would be a role then to do that. Like for like, you or... Could scour the place for fingerprints. Yeah. And these tools I'm sure you know how to make a fingerprint cast. Yeah yeah.

[01:10:31] You literally just take some Scotch tape. You pull the fingerprint off of that. Would that be a slate of hand? Or that would still just be like... That would just be a thief. Just use these as a tool check. Tool check? Okay yeah. Oh somebody roll...

[01:10:45] You know don't bother rolling to see if you can find the fingerprints. You can find fingerprints. Like there's glasses and beer balls and stuff around you. There's a laptop. There's also a laptop. Yeah yeah. There's fingerprint galore in this. He was not trying to like covertly...

[01:10:59] He wasn't wearing gloves the whole time he was here. So roll your toolkit to... So it's just roll plus proficiency? Chris can let you take a bonus from an appropriate ability score based on what you're doing. Okay. So I would say probably for this I think DEX.

[01:11:24] Yeah I see a DEX. A ability score or like actual skill? I'd say DEX because it's like a ability score plus your... Sorry ability score modifier plus proficiency bonus. Okay. Yeah I would say DEX for this. Okay.

[01:11:38] Because you're like using your hands to time like you're crafting this thing and stuff. Thanks. Okay. To roll a 20. Okay yeah now you managed to get a fingerprint setup for the pad like to activate his password and such. Cool. See my DEX doesn't immediately hate you.

[01:12:04] It's fucked me... I've rolled four times. It's fucked me twice. But it also gave you an actual 20. Yeah it did yeah. So yeah you managed to open up his bank account. Okay. You guys want to step out of the room for a minute while I do that.

[01:12:18] That's so weird. That's so curious. The main persuasion jack. Yeah and uh... Sheets. This bank account is gonna be a TD. So we check his recent transactions. What's he been spending his money on? Yeah he's been spending... He's at the same ATM now. Only one?

[01:12:45] Like you're going through like there's a couple things that he's bought like from like grocery stores and like other places around town. But yeah there is one... one of the slots isn't the AT... is that same ATM? This slot. And he pulled out about 500 bucks.

[01:13:01] Well we're finding commonalities here. I guess our next stop is the mermaid. Well there was one more place that was nearby to where we are. Well there was um... You guys wanted to check out uh... Fudge's house. Who has a... and he has a widow there.

[01:13:22] Or now a widow. A recent widow. You also have the scent. That was coming out full. Yeah I should probably see about getting the scent from this place. Yeah.

[01:13:36] Alright so did you like walk into the bathroom when I was looking and then come back out as a dog? No.

[01:13:42] I'm going to grab one of the folded bed sheets and throw it straight up in the air in front of me and when it falls I'm a dog. Okay. Um... You do not get the scent here. Okay. Probably wasn't taken from there.

[01:13:59] No, no I'm willing... like it's a motel. You get a lot of scents. There's a lot of scents here. And uh... a lot of uh... a lot of lice all. A lot of sex. A lot of lice all. I mean a lot. It's pre-overpowering.

[01:14:17] You were making dog noises tonight, dog. Lucy's like you're in my seat soon. Or she's like I'm offended. That's usually where I sleep. She's staring you down. She is. Because that's literally... Like for six to seven hours during the week that is her bed. Yeah.

[01:14:42] Like she will come down here and just like be in the room with me and just go up on that couch or that couch. Okay so I will uh crawl under the bed. And then when I crawl out the other side of my people again.

[01:14:58] You're also kind of sticky. Uh... under the bed really? Yeah. Oh. The maid didn't get there. Alright. I'm gonna take a minute. Zectoplasm it's fine. Cast Prestidigitation. Yeah. And uh make my clothes clean again. Okay. I'm in for me and I will make my clothes clean again. Yep.

[01:15:23] Okay. So that's what you find at the motel. At this point uh so you I suspect you guys got like you got the you got the call to come like for this for the briefing some about like mid-mid morning. You guys arrived just after noon to this place.

[01:15:40] So it's probably been about two hours since you've been in Maristown or in this area. So it's probably about 3 p.m. Yeah it's about 3 p.m. right now so yeah.

[01:15:52] As real as you probably should have checked to see if there was any sort of trail from the uh the previous place we were at. Uh he... Outside. Aaron probably would have told you. Oh yeah I did. There is.

[01:16:04] Because he did pick up a scent going out onto the street. Mm-hmm. Yep. From the other house so. Should we just follow that something and see where it lid? It couldn't just... Couldn't go into the house as a person come out as a dog with the cops there.

[01:16:20] Maybe you can come out and be like done here then walk behind the telephone pole and sorry go into a telephone box. Close it come out switch like Superman. Yeah the cops really stoned again. Yeah that's an option. That was funny. I do have meth on me. What?

[01:16:42] I stole meth from someone's ass. Right you did like I'm from like a so you had meth for like a month in a bag of meth. Yeah. Also for this guy at bank account you also see that he's like $5,000 in his savings.

[01:16:56] That you may not want to take. Take well he's a dead guy or maybe this guy is dead for sure. Yes. But like it's $5,000 off of like a guy who used to work to construction so. Yeah. So obviously he was dirt poor is that what you're saying?

[01:17:13] No just saying like he was going he was working like constantly like a contract to contract probably spending money on things so. Hope there's some blow.

[01:17:23] You do see an enormous amount of beer bottles in this like in the blue box or the little blue bin next to the door. Okay so he's an alcoholic contractor. So the upward class. I mean to be heard no he's just a new fee.

[01:17:37] No he's just a new fee. I mean that's not really that really isn't even a slate. I my my my my niece's family that came over like came over here they went through like far too many boxes like 24 packs.

[01:17:54] Like mall like there is at least like four or five 12. They went through both of them in the weekend. No it was like they brought three they finished within two hours and one of them went out into the LCBO to pick up more. Anyway.

[01:18:11] So I'm glad they let Chris look in my garage. Okay. Let's go see the fudge window. Okay makes sense. Jasmine 49. Well she's putting this stuff away yet. Did you be a fudge packer? Yep. Wow. Okay so yeah you drive over to that section.

[01:18:48] That's in Maristown so you drive back out to that neck of the woods. Okay where is the mermaid? The mermaid is in Maristown like basically on the main street. Like you guys passed it. It is right in the middle of town. Who's the first building constructed? No no.

[01:19:07] Not quite. Third one. It is on your drive in like coming in from the north because that's where you guys are coming in from usually normally. It is smack dab next to a married browns. Of course it is. That is the most new fish ever.

[01:19:32] It is on the other side of the road for the married browns basically. Is there a little married browns heavily featured in the previous episode? Yep because married browns is in every fucking newfie town. It is sponsored by married browns.

[01:19:46] Wish you really should have put it into that sponsorship. Yeah so it is basically you know you are like recalling the mermaid was basically surrounded by a bunch of forest on the other side from a bunch of other businesses. That is a little weird.

[01:20:04] It is like one of the few properties that were in those woods along the stretch of woods in the center of town almost near the center of town. Why do you think stretch of woods is near the center of town?

[01:20:15] You look at Google Maps and you see that it is just like a park. Like sort of a park with a graveyard on the other side. A porcelain. Yeah. Okay well I did smell grave dirt at first house. You did? I did.

[01:20:42] I wonder if there are shenanigans going on in the forest behind there. Could be. Could be. But I hope it is not clowns. I fucking hate clowns. Don't tell them that. Well theme it to be clowns then. Man I really hope there is no one in there.

[01:21:00] I really hope it is not clowns. Immediately that music starts. Jack I need you to glass this place. Just danger clothes drop it all. Where is the mausoleum? It is healing. You hear the colliding music and the door just like swings up and slides open. Where is it?

[01:21:28] I can turn into a bear. You can mount it on my back. We have to spend about an hour unbolting it from the car on the track. I do have tools. That is true. Also sorry there is no actual cemetery. It is a lions club.

[01:21:47] The Maristown Lions club. There are some suburbs on the other side of the forest from the main strip. Yeah. So you are heading to the first location. Let's find out. Stick it back on it. That is where you smelt the cemetery.

[01:22:22] There is one on your way back to Maristown across the narrows. There is the Sacred Heart Graveyard. It is on the narrows. There is a church on the water. There is a lot of waterways going through Maristown. Mary Browns. All the waterways going directly to Mary Browns.

[01:23:12] It turns out Mary Brown is the elder Torah all along. What taters are made of people? There is also an Anglican cemetery in Creston. Down the road from Braxton Suites. It is Anglican so you know they run holy. Why? Because they rejected the Pope.

[01:23:45] I hear what you are saying. Except that the Roman Catholics actually like the Anglicans. It is the only other form of Christianity that they accept as having performed valid ceremonies. The Roman Catholics do not, if you get married in a Presbyterian church,

[01:24:08] the Roman Catholics do not consider you married. That is rude. Weird. So where are we? You are currently still at the Motel. Like I said, one of you guys googled the map like Graveyard near Maristown. You found there is two cemeteries in Maristown.

[01:24:33] One down the road from you guys right now. From this Motel. So are you going there or are you going to the Fudge residence or the Mermaid? Actually today we want you guys to check to see if you can find the mermaid online.

[01:24:53] Like check their business hours and stuff. Sure. Yeah, we will google it. Yeah, you google it. The mermaid is not open to like seven or eight. I mean it kind of makes sense. So we need to break in now or we will do other stuff.

[01:25:14] Well, if you are going to go fight vampires, I'd rather do well as Suns up and civilians are in there. Yeah, when was he taken? When was Sean taken? The guy who's not dead. He was missing today.

[01:25:31] Like you got a call as you were arriving into town from Jack saying the cops had called in another missing person. They found him missing this morning basically? Yeah. Okay, so he could have been taken in then. Yeah, he could have been taken last night.

[01:25:46] Which guy is that? I can start writing down names. Sean Byron. We did a new investigation notebook. Yeah. Start taking notes like in the 1920s. I think we should go check out Fiona. Should we follow the trail that Sean is leaving?

[01:26:11] Because he's the only one who's potentially alive right now. Yeah, but he's a city barocrat. Do we really care? It's not that I care about him. We're here to deal with what took him. And that is the hottest trail right now, right? Yes.

[01:26:28] Technically Fiona is the coldest because she was the first one taken. But missing. Yeah, I was just...she's kind of the odd man out. Yeah. So if she's tied to the mermaid then we can pretty much rule that the mermaid is a tie for everyone. Yeah.

[01:26:55] But we do have a live trail we can follow so... Yeah, as we're falling out. So we'll follow that. It's because like we're kind of doing side quests right now while the main bad thing is still going on.

[01:27:11] And not that we shouldn't do side quests and get more lore. But realistically if we want to attempt to find this thing that's our trail. Yeah, the other thing is by following the trail where we're diving into the belly of the beast.

[01:27:34] Currently we suspect maybe we're dealing with vampires. Maybe it's a giant mosquito or a wendigo that has a taste for just drinking people like sunny bees. It's more thirsty than hungry. Yeah. We don't really know what we're facing.

[01:28:00] We have no solid evidence, just a suspicion based on missing blood. Yeah. And the fact that the jugulars and the alligors there are massive like gouging wounds around the upper torso. Were they bites or were they slashes? Slashes.

[01:28:17] It wasn't bites, like two pinpricks it was like throat ripped out. Yeah, so that also could be werewolf if the whole throat was ripped out. This could be like that underworld movie where it's a werewolf fanfire. Yeah. Could also be a ghoul.

[01:28:40] You played it, though they're known for eating flesh. Also they generally have pretty blunt teeth except for the couple of fangs. They have like a dog like a canine. Either way what? You played a lot of Secret World. What do you think?

[01:29:05] Me as John Deere, yes I totally have. Yes I live in the Secret World. Yeah I do. I mean you're right like but... One of you guys could make an insight since you guys are an insight or a history role if you guys want to try and...

[01:29:24] Again you guys are all familiar with the Secret World. You guys can see what the evidence correlates to. I'll do an insight. You probably had some classes on identifying creatures and stuff in the Secret World. That could very well be. Staring at you. You have food.

[01:30:03] No I don't. Can't see it. Well that was a natural 20. I saw it from the side. Yeah this has got to be vampires. What kind of vampires? J.Court. That is the question because there isn't just one type of vampire.

[01:30:34] There are different ones depending on where you are in the world and where they come from in the world. This one seems like it's probably more like standard wampir. Like the ones that don't... Or perhaps like a strig or a strigoi.

[01:30:57] Where they just again, they're dead beings that rip out the jungler and drink the blood from the wound. From the gouging wound and such. Most of the time they even use claws to gouge out the wound and then drink from it. So like black or?

[01:31:14] Yeah more like black or. Like Brandon Stoker based a lot of Dracula stuff off of strigoi. Which are basically across the board of Europe. They started in Eastern Europe but there are variations all across the Europe for it.

[01:31:31] Mostly it starts in Romania but there's strigoi legends all across Southern Europe and from Romania to France. Alright so we need paintball guns with the paintballs that fill the holy water. If it is a strigoi... They are sensitive to holy objects and holy hallowed ground and such.

[01:32:04] They are sunlight sensitive so they will not be out doing the day. And you would know from your teachings the only way to kill a strigoi is a silver piercing in the heart. Hey! Guess we have silver bullets. I have silver hammer.

[01:32:26] He has a silver hammer with spike on the end. I have silver throwing knives. Hell do. You can also toss a strigoi or a vampire into running water. Yes. Why does that kill them? It's lurid in the lore. In the folklore. They can't pass running water.

[01:32:53] There's a hose on the ground. I've heard the argument be said that if there's water just rolling through it down a gutter, that might count as running water. It's water with a current. Is actually what it's supposed to be I think. So it has to be electrically charged?

[01:33:15] I just imagine you creating this contraption that electrifies the hose water and it's like this is where I come from! I'm coming for my tip of the gallo-tip! Damn you science. Speaking of weird things that might be handy, did we make that hula hoop?

[01:33:39] I imagine we would have. The salt hula hoop? Yeah. I imagine we probably did. Yeah it's probably on a hook in the master machine. It's bright pink. So yeah that's what you also are privy to what the legends say they're capable of. Invisibility, animal shape shifting, flight.

[01:34:03] Turning to mist. Turning to mist, spider climbing. Stuff like that. Regeneration. Powers of suggestion. Telepathy. It's the game. Like Strigoy are like they are the poster boy for vampires. Okay. Okay well I will let these guys know what it apparently is that we may be after.

[01:34:30] I don't remember. It's just what all the clues point to that. With a lot of certainty for you. So don't be surprised if it's one of them. Yep. Silver to the heart works. Do we determine that I have any additional types of ammo or just bullets?

[01:34:50] I think, oh in our group you have silver bullets. Okay. You have standard hollow point bullets that we have taken a silver BB and jammed into the hollow point. Okay. We also probably have some full metal jacket silver rounds. In case they're wearing armor.

[01:35:11] You're also in Newfoundland so I'm willing to bet you guys also probably have iron bullets. Or some kind of iron shot because fairy folklore. Fair. E. That's fair. E. It's a shame I don't give out any points to the, any additional points to this game.

[01:35:34] Are they not weak to fire as well? No. They're going to burn us. Yeah I mean like, not any more than any other month. Not particular. Yeah not particularly. It won't feel good but it's not super effective. Yeah.

[01:35:52] Alright so we're going to go back to the deputy mayor's house and see if we can follow that trail. Yeah, yeah I guess that's what we're doing. I'm going to do that unless you, if you feel strongly about wanting to go to the strip club

[01:36:06] specifically just because of the clues obviously. That's the only real reason right? I also hear they have great burgers. I'm sure they do. Is there a menu on the ropes? Yeah. Yeah there's a, do they have any good living burgers? Yeah there's a lot of, there's some burgers.

[01:36:25] Some Polish sausages and such. There's uh, Polish sausages. Yeah, yeah um yeah and you also get the uh, the name of the proprietor or the, it's apparently a family. Okay. The um, the ZZX or ZZX, DZIE, DZIC. Hey that's a familiar. DZI. Yeah that's common. Yeah.

[01:36:55] Common instead of three letters. Mm-hmm. You gotta get a second man by ZZZ. You know the trail's gonna lead back to the mermaid anyway right? Well let's follow it and find out. Alright. When we get back to the uh, Okay so it's now like 4 o'clock in the morning.

[01:37:13] Are we going to go back and follow the trail? Are we just going to go straight to the mermaid or are we going to talk to the widow? Just in case they take him somewhere else. Okay. So you're following the trail? Yep. Okay roll that survival.

[01:37:26] Sorry I assume you're, at this point the cops are still there but they're now inside and so that's so you can turn as a dog and not take it in.

[01:37:33] Yeah I'll turn as a dog in the back of the uh, in the back of the van where no one can see me. And then one of these guys will have to open the door. Just a minute if you open the door the dog is whole, is real.

[01:37:46] The 50 the MGM chiefs. He turned an army helmet somewhere. Yeah. Well that's better. Okay so 25. Okay. You pick up the trail pretty, pretty quickly. It was somewhere in the street, it was up in the middle of the street basically. And you follow it.

[01:38:14] Does the trail smell both of gravedirt and the guy? It does. Okay. And it takes you south out of Creston. I'm just trotting along the road. Yeah, very slow. Unfortunately you're going to have to get out of the car at some point or like

[01:38:35] at least let him go alone into the woods. You determined last time that you would just ride a lot with your nose to the grindstone. Well not going into the woods in the mystery machine.

[01:38:47] It goes into the woods basically into some pine forest across a T junction out of Creston. And you continue following it for a boat? How long are you going to keep following it? Because it's a meandering trail. Yeah, keep following it. Okay. Three hours later. Three hours later.

[01:39:13] You end up... They've already reported me as missing to the forest. You lost your dog? Maybe a friend? You end up... You see some houses off in the distance but you end up near some kind of body of water. Like you follow this, like this was ridiculous.

[01:39:33] This guy was playing with this food or like what? But like yeah it's ridiculous. Is there any more blood along the path? There is a little bit of blood. It looks like he was like...

[01:39:46] The person was getting like slapped against the pine trees and like the sharp parts of the trees and stuff. And was bleeding. Okay, what is meandering? Does it look like he escaped for a few steps and then he got caught again?

[01:40:02] Yeah, it seems like whatever did this to him... Was playing with its food. And it goes for about three... Yeah, you wander around the woods for three hours and eventually come to a...

[01:40:17] At this point, so I said it was like four o'clock when you actually decided to do this. So it's about seven o'clock now. It's not July in Newfoundland so he's still got two hours until the sun goes down. Yeah.

[01:40:29] But it is still dark because like the sun is like low in the sky. So you come across a... It looks like a... It's not the ocean or like not like a coastline or anything but it's like some kind of like pond or small lake.

[01:40:49] And you find the body impaled on one of the pine trees with this jugular cutout and also just cut up shit. Impaled for months at least? Like crucified on the broken pine limbs. Like there's one protruding from his chest that he has gotten slapped.

[01:41:15] His arms have been like impaled into them. His jugular has been ripped out. And there's a figure looking up at him, like not noticing you as you arrive to the scene. So you can roll stealth check to remain on scene. Yep. Assuming that's all of us.

[01:41:34] Did you follow him into the woods? I think we were going to go in the woods for like hours on end by ourselves. That's fair, yeah. Yeah, that's fair. Then yeah, you guys all have to roll a stealth check. I'm good. I'll get him tonight. Are you?

[01:41:55] I am. Five. Okay. So, and actually, yeah I'm not in my armor. I'm in the suit because we're doing investigations. Yeah. Could use magic to give us a bonus on stealth but is it worth burning that level two spell? Nah. 14? 14? Yeah.

[01:42:27] You guys are all, even you like trumping around like hitting all the needles there Jake or Marcel. You are, this guy does not notice you guys as you come into this like area and then you guys like slip down or like you just like leap into a brush.

[01:42:47] But the guy does not notice you. He does but he fucking squirms. Yeah. And you see the loudest things in the woods. And you see he's looking, he's at the base of the tree looking up at this thing and just kind of scratching his head.

[01:43:01] He's got a large, yeah, this guy is. Yeah. He's got a like a large like brim fisherman's hat on. He's got a big old overcoat on black trousers boots like like like fishing boots kind of thing. Looks like he's wearing gloves.

[01:43:20] And he's just looking up, just kind of scratching his head and just like or like just like kind of like from the from the from behind you're seeing this guy. This guy so. And he's standing up? Yeah, he's standing up on like standing on two legs.

[01:43:34] And it's it's dim in here like there isn't much light through the canopy of the pine trees and stuff. So it's kind of dim lighting or no direct sunlight. So what do you want to do?

[01:43:47] He's kind of like he's he at a certain point like if you keep watching him, he does eventually start like going up to the tree to like also like trying to like crash something from the body.

[01:44:00] And whisper so he could just be a city but he could also be the killer for all of us. Um, why? Think he could be like positioning. Or the adjusting like the guy. Fuck it. I'm going to approach quietly from behind and then start a low growl. Okay.

[01:44:32] I think quietly I'm zipping my backpack completely. It's all right from just in case. He turns around and you see he's got like black shade like sunglasses over it. Like you barely see anything. He's got like a he's even got a fucking like bandana over his face. Question.

[01:44:47] Yeah, clarifying. It's dark. It's dim. It's wearing sunglasses. Shoot him. Where's the sunglasses at night? It's not night though. It's two hours from like actual night. It's getting there. Did we need to use a flashlight in here?

[01:45:05] At some point you did and then as soon as you guys like saw like this, you probably turned them off. But yeah, it's not like it's not that dark. It's like it's just like there's no sunlight. There's no direct sunlight. Okay.

[01:45:17] Um, but yeah, he turns around and he's like, and you can over his like through like a muffle like the muffling of the the handkerchief or the bandana. It's like, oh, well, that'll put me. Whoa. He's okay. He's okay. He's okay. Ooh, growl harder.

[01:45:34] Take a couple of steps forward. Uh, he takes a step, um, to like, he's right next to the tree. He takes a step up on the tree. Like his one leg goes up to like, to like plant firmly on the tree with his, the

[01:45:49] sole of his foot and then he begins kind of walking up the tree. Yeah. Spider climbing up the tree. Spider climbing up the low is like, oh, it's okay. I'll leave. I'll leave. Good dog. Good boy. Good boy.

[01:46:01] I think we needed this, we need to do, um, design a signal for you to do as a dog to be like, okay, let her go. Some sort of tail situation. So yeah, what do you want?

[01:46:15] He's, he's like kind of like backing up to the where the guy, where the body is impaled like as he's walking up the tree. Uh, and like going to like, he's like, like, I don't take two steps back and sit down. Okay. Okay. Good dog. Good boy.

[01:46:30] Good boy. And he's like, with one, he's like doing that with one hand and the other hand, he's like going to try and like get something from the guy's pocket. And then he like grabs the, he's about five or six feet off the, off the

[01:46:42] ground at this point because that's where the body was put. It's about five, six feet off the ground impaled and he grabs, seems to grab the guy's wallet from his jeans, from his, uh, from his jacket or from his pants. Okay. Okay.

[01:46:56] And then I sit out in the woods for what, three hours? About three hours, yeah. Okay. I fall back into human shape laughing. Oh, shit. And then he leaps to another tree and begins, you know, the wallet's useless. Yeah.

[01:47:15] He's trying to run, he's running along like through the trees. Okay. Well, I couldn't maintain that for my longer anyway. I can take, I can pop a shot at him. You can try it. Go on.

[01:47:24] I'm trying to at least like shoot the limb of the tree or something and wing him in the leg. Is there cold shot situations? There is. Um, cold shot is. Is it disadvantage? Disadvantage. Disadvantage, yeah. But considering I was like, um, watching the whole time.

[01:47:41] He, you guys got him, I will say he, he didn't know on that one he rolled a two. So you guys had him completely unaware. Oh, what I'm saying is while I was watching considering I was concerned about this guy, especially since he walked up the tree.

[01:47:52] I probably would have cast true strike as I'm ready to go, which gives me advantage. So doing a cold shot, it just makes it a normal shot. Yeah. Okay. So I will attempt to cold shot on his leg. Um, yeah. Damn it's too bad. It's bad.

[01:48:14] Stop rolling bad. That's bad. Um, who's the rules for, for semi-automatic? It's a semi-automatic fire. I'm going to break that down because that's like the only thing I do. Matt. You're still just laughing at like, you're laughing then like trying

[01:48:36] to like, like get from prone, like get back up from prone from like where you were, uh, ruffle mowing. Yeah. Yeah. Across the, across the pine needles. He's still in 60 feet of me. Uh, he would be, but it is also, uh, he's technically going to

[01:48:50] take, um, also yeah for you Dave as well, he's going to have to record his cover. Um, because of the tree, all the dense pine trees that he's like running by. Oh, Katie, you hear me? Um, I'll see if we can hear you.

[01:49:04] Uh, yeah, you can hear you. I suggest you come back and talk to us. Roll a persuasion. Nope. No. He can roll me a save. Oh. Uh, I think that's a wisdom save. It might be Chris. Okay. Right. Okay. It's a damage thing.

[01:49:31] So actually I wouldn't be doing so because I'm not trying to specifically damage him hard. I love it. He's like, I'd come back if I were using like a suggestion spell and you're like, like through the woods trying to

[01:49:44] get, uh, you're also trying to get like a shot on them, but it's like pretty hard. Like it's going to be pretty difficult. Yes. Wisdom saving throw. Wisdom saving throw? Okay. You got 13. That's failure. Okay. So he stops, but you're going to shoot him. Yeah. For 14. For 14?

[01:50:03] That does not hit him. Okay. It, it, like some, some bark explodes near him. Yeah. Um, but he does stop. Um, uh, about like, he's about 10 feet off the ground on like one of the pine trees and he just stops. Okay. So what does the spell do?

[01:50:19] Or what is the suggestion? He is compelled to obey that command I just gave, or that suggestion I just gave him. So long as it is a fairly reasonable suggestion, I can't tell him to stab himself or something like that. He is fighting it.

[01:50:37] He, he's fighting his legs to wind up like get back down like to the ground and like start to do it. And it's like, are you going to, are you going to hate, are you going to kill me?

[01:50:49] Well, I mean, if I try then you'll be able to get away. So nope, nope. Just want to talk. Very, could you dismantle, could you disarm this, the spell that you have on me? I can't, no. Until the conditions are met it's, it's done, bud. Dammit. Very well.

[01:51:12] And I see I have no choice. Uh, and he starts walking towards you guys, fighting it but still like straining against it, but he can't really help it. I'm going to circle around behind him in the direction that he was going. He doesn't even know you're there yet.

[01:51:31] I shot him so I'll walk over the bush keeping the gun on him. Yeah. And he was just running, or it seemed like he was going in the, where was he running in the direction? He was heading east by northeast.

[01:51:46] Wait for the circle around him covered to that location. Anybody can still check for that? Um, sure. Oh, that's even worse. Four. I rolled a two again. So he did not notice that. It's more concerned with other things right now. Yeah, even more concerned with you,

[01:52:09] with the fact that he's being insorceled and also somebody has fired upon it. At this point he actually like, even like he draws as he's walking closer, he's like putting his hands up. It's like, please do not shoot me. Well, Striga. Pa!

[01:52:27] You call me that bullshit name that is not what... I am not Doberboy. I am not Strig. He likes spits. I mean, if it looks like a duck, it smells like a duck, it acts like a duck, and maybe it's a duck. Well, hunters are so resists.

[01:52:49] Well, feel free to tell us what you are then. I am Proud Wupci, Polish vampire. Just one second. I'm gonna roll a D. Flip it open, start comparing the differences between the two. Turns out that entomology, they're exactly the same. That'll be...

[01:53:17] Oh right, I get to do that at advantage. That's a success. Okay, yeah, Wupci are Polish, a Polish variant of vampire. They can turn you if you are bitten, but it's mostly in the blood, like in families. So if you are like...

[01:53:42] There are certain things that happen to a family member and then once they die, they become a Wupci. They are also... They have some of the similarities to other vampires, like the Strigold, but they are forbidden from going into a residence without invitation.

[01:54:06] They are not killed by silver to the heart. Okay. Is a nail to the head or beheading and then set on fire? Is it a nail because it's iron? Yeah. Okay. I dropped my mag and put my iron bolt.

[01:54:27] How did you convince him to invite you into the house? I did not. I did not kill that man. Why are you hanging around the body? I found the body. I am trying to look into... I'm trying to...

[01:54:44] When you steal this wallet, I can tell you there's nothing of any value in there. I wanted to make sure... I needed to make sure he didn't have anything that could bring him back to... To you? To us.

[01:55:00] But I did not kill the man and we have not been killing the people that have been dying in the town. It has not been us. I mean, it has not been me. That's Polish. Right. Family. So how many of your family members are here? I...

[01:55:19] Can you at least promise me that you will not kill us? So long as the evidence doesn't point to you being the murderers, then... Yes. These killings are not ours. And you have nothing to worry about. Why would we... Why would we shit where we sleep?

[01:55:40] Like, these killings are not us. It is somebody else. Someone else. Has your family looked into it at all? To try to figure out who it is or are you just ignoring it?

[01:55:58] I was the one that was told to look into it and to see if we could find the newest victim. What's your affiliation with the mermaid? It is the family business. You called it? Good job. But we do not kill... We do not kill anyone.

[01:56:17] We offer services and in exchange we have a... They offer their services. We have some arrangements. We do not kill the fuck in this town. They are good people. They have let us live here. Okay, and Fiona, how was she connected to the mermaid? She visited the mermaid.

[01:56:42] Okay, and the older guy that had the wife who is now widowed? All of the victims visited the mermaid on the regular. Well, that does not sound super promising. This... Maybe... Could I take you to see Mama and the others?

[01:57:12] We can get this out in the open and clear the air. Would that be what you are liking? No, I don't particularly relish the idea of walking into a den of vampires who may or may not be guilty of multiple homicides.

[01:57:34] I simply say this because I do not have the full situation. I know some of the things that have happened. There is another vampire in town. They came to us. They talked to Mama and Pa about something. I was not there when the exchange happened, but he left.

[01:58:01] And since then... Did you meet him? I brushed past him. How good is your nose? It's terrible. He smells like gravedirt? Yes. Stay still and turn back into a dog again. And I smell him.

[01:58:19] He smells of a lot of deodorant and pine needles and such, but not gravedirt. Okay, I'll turn back. Okay, it's not him guys. It's not. I told you. Okay, so I come up from behind him. I was frowning in the back of the head.

[01:58:41] Are you just going to kill him? No. Do you want to say anything to make him aware that you're there? No, I'm just going to wait until he notices me. So the whole time he turns, the whole time you're just like there. Oh, I still have Prestidigitation going.

[01:58:59] Cool. I'm going to use Prestidigitation to make his hammer softly start to glow just a little bit. Bring out those silver highlights. Not that it really matters to this guy, but yeah. Extra intimidating if you see. Yep. Also at this moment you don't know that he did this.

[01:59:20] I'm standing here and listening to the whole thing. He didn't listen to anything. Who's the head of your household? That would be Babushka, my grandmother. Okay. And then my mama and my papa. We want to talk to your Babushka. Yes. Just her and you, no others. I...

[01:59:45] In our own room that we invite you into. So then... Okay. So all right, I can give them a call. I can give her a call and he pulls out a phone from his coat. Okay. And go to this motel. All right, so you're going back to the...

[02:00:07] So you're going to get a place at the motel? Yep. All right. So yeah, you're going to just like leave him there in the woods to call on some of that? Yeah. Okay, let him do his thing. Meet us here. Meet us there. Ask at the front desk.

[02:00:22] They'll know where we are. Okay. Yeah. As he goes like in the call and he's waiting for the pickup and he turns around and to Marcel who's like right there. Don't be late. I do hate to be kept waiting. I... We won't be late. Ah, yes Babushka.

[02:00:41] He's your Cajun guy. Yeah. Close enough. Cajuns and... His accent goes all of them. Yeah, he's Southern American. That's why I don't attempt accents because I cannot hold them at all. South Carolina. Not that bad. Yeah.

[02:00:57] So you guys just like leave him as he like is contacting Babushka? Yeah. Okay. And I will bring them up to speed on everything that I learned there. When did you want him to... When did you want him and Babushka to arrive? One hour? I suppose.

[02:01:20] Can they travel in the daytime? He can, apparently. He's traveling. He's really like gotten like layers, like stuff to keep him like from the sunlight. Yeah. Can you look up anima points for me and tell me when they refresh if it's a short or long rest? Ah, sure.

[02:01:38] I'm kind of low. I've turned into a dog a lot. Yeah. Also bring them up to speed that he just smelled of pine needles and deodorant. Yeah. He was not the killer, the killer reaped of gravedirt. Okay.

[02:02:00] Also he heard of me said that apparently the killer is a straight away as far as I'm concerned. Because he showed up, they had some disagreement and he left and started killing him. Yeah. I imagine that's probably the case. Yeah. Ah, anima points.

[02:02:19] Marcel do you have any input on this? Am I missing something? Does that make logical sense? Not all makes sense to me. Are you mad that we didn't kill him? I'm not a fanatic. I am not a fanatic. Yet.

[02:02:39] It is, when you spend an anima point it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest at the end of the rest. Yeah. You draw all your expended anima back into yourself. Okay, so while we're waiting for the hour, I'm gonna rest. Yep. You do that.

[02:02:57] I want my anima points back. Your anima points? My anima points. You start what? You're just like vigorously watching like, um, Demon City Shinjuku. It's a workout video with Goku. Yeah. Sit there looking. No, it's just multiple episodes. Kameha, next time on Dragon Ball Z.

[02:03:19] Previous on Dragon Ball Z. Kameha, next time on Dragon Ball Z. Previous on Dragon Ball Z. Hey, next time on Dragon Ball Z. Ah! I mean, it's a spirit bomb, but yeah. Not the Kameha man, that's funny. Yeah. Oh, I saw him mean the other day.

[02:03:36] Said, you know, everybody in their 30s right now is always so tired. I think it's because Goku just charged up a spirit bomb and poured all of our energy. It's not wrong. Okay, so, yeah, an hour passes, he refreshed it. And, um, you can see like it's sunset.

[02:03:57] The sun is setting at this point. And you get a knock on the door of the hotel room you're staying in. You guys are renting out. I will open the door. Okay. You see... S3 guy! We're all going to die! No, you see the man.

[02:04:14] He doesn't have the sunglasses anymore, but he's got like a pale complexion. No obvious signs of like the fangs or anything like that, but just like it's the same guy. And you see next to him in a shawl and a little like a coat and stuff like that.

[02:04:32] A kindly old... Kindly looking old woman who like looks up at you through shaded spectacles. And it's like, from what I hear from my grandson here, we have some kind of... Some things to discuss. Yes? Yes, yes. You may come in. Thank you, Deary.

[02:05:02] And she walks in like old woman style. Like just shuffles in and he tentatively walks in as well nodding to you. And then I will put the do not disturb sign on the door and close it. And then lock it. Click! And then a bar.

[02:05:29] And then the bolts of the floor. Yeah, I bring in the two by fours and then the nail hair. You get... and then you hit like a button. Like steel, steel like studders coming down the windows. Followed by iron rock gates or iron bars.

[02:05:45] Apparently this is like Purge World. Yeah. Everybody just has those systems. I mean it is new from that. No. But yeah, she sits down like one of the little... Before she sits down she looks around and says, Do you mind if I sit down?

[02:06:02] My knees are very bent. Please. Thank you, Peter. And she sits down at like one of the chairs. Okay. He stands next to her the whole time. Okay.

[02:06:13] I'm going to be leaning against the door frame to like the bathroom with my arm just in the bathroom on the... With the gun? On my hand. On my soul, right? That's fine, yeah. On my hand. No, you forgive us. You're being that subtle.

[02:06:26] I'm in full armor and fucking gear ready to go. Yeah. Fair. I'm going to pico with a cigarette. Snap my fingers and light it. Ah. A... A mage? Formally trained, yes. Ah, I see. He's not Vegas. God. I'm going to let that pass. Yep.

[02:06:51] Just let that one hang on. Lie down a little bit. Bust a lapter. Sorry we couldn't come to you. We didn't much relish the idea of being outnumbered two or three to one. I understand. We are peoples that never seem like to eye.

[02:07:14] But I hope that we can come to a peaceful arrangement here. But I should... We're my members, I should probably introduce myself. I am Babushka. I am Agatha Zadzik. But everybody calls me Babushka. This is Piotr, my grandson. I don't know if he introduced himself exactly. Not really.

[02:07:41] It's a little rude. Piotr. I'm sorry Babushka. Trying to run away. Yeah. God. Who does that? You'll have to forgive my grandson. We've had bad... We've had bad history with hunters and slayers. Understandable. Well, as long as you're not killing people I have no interest in destroying.

[02:08:07] No, no. Not in... We learned our lesson long ago. Then what are you subsiding off of? So... Well, we are subs... Well, of our patrons but it is a symbiotic relationship. We do not drink till dead. We just take a little bit off the top, as it were.

[02:08:34] Okay. I think they're proud of that. What do your clients get out of this arrangement? They get the pleasures of the flesh. Of course. We do have a very successful business and have had a successful business for well over 100 years in this town.

[02:08:51] And your clients just keep their mouth shut? They have to. That's so threatening, ma'am. Well, we learned long ago that the best way to... To be fair, we can't believe them. Yeah, to keep people quiet is also for the blackmail. So we have a couple...

[02:09:08] We know quite a few secrets about this town and its peoples. Let's keep them hush-hush. Okay. How many times have you guys accidentally over-invived? Not a one since we first came here. Like I said, we learned our lesson. Judgement. Insights. Yeah, you can roll like a... Insight. Insight.

[02:09:35] Insights. That one. Really? Yeah. Why'd you go back for that, guys? That's true. That's the problem. I believe you implicitly published that. Not much better. That has a one in it, but it's a zero in the end. Yeah, she's telling the truth.

[02:09:54] Or she has a really good poker face. They have to be a really good poker face because I roll well. Why did the deputy mayor write you a check? That was part of some blackmail stuff we had. They wanted to get...

[02:10:10] We have had a couple of run-ins with the local constabulary and the folks that run this town. Not for us being blood-sucking monsters, but because we are a den of sin according to some of their religious beliefs. So we had to come up with some blackmail.

[02:10:30] That checks out. Okay, okay. I mean the deputy has been one of our... One of our well-honored patrons for several months now. I saw. I mean, I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't look at his baby. Okay. Okay.

[02:10:54] I have so many questions, but they're all just kind of swimming around and I can't catch any of them. Well one of them would be... So as far as Piotr? Piotr, yes. Yes, as far as he mentioned, you're all aware of the killings that aren't...

[02:11:10] Totally aren't you guys doing the killings and you sent him on this to check out, to follow up, to find that information. So you personally have information that we don't? Yes. I feel like we may. We were not aware of the actual...

[02:11:27] The origins of the death until the fourth death and then we became aware that it was probably a fellow that showed up two weeks ago. Steve. We don't know... He only went by Mr... He's the biggest stupid. He only went by Mr... Mr Croc. He was French speaking.

[02:11:55] He said he was from Quebec. Ugh, he said he was a... We're gonna kill him. We're gonna kill him. He said he was... If we're putting everything on the table, he said... I'm going to French or not, from the Eastern European... It's hard.

[02:12:16] It's hard, but he's just an accent. He said he was... He represented a family, a coven or a family called the Parliament Rouge in Quebec. Somewhere in Laval, I think. And that they were expanding out of Quebec and wanted to bring us in.

[02:12:43] Did you know down Parliament Rouge? Yes. Okay. But we have not had any desire to harm or harvest humans since we came to this island. I was thinking, is Mr Croc... Was it Croc? Mr Croc. Croc? He wants to harvest?

[02:13:05] According to the Parliament Rouge, he is there of the Obla. He is a Strigge. They want nothing, but they have no disregard for mortals. They see them as playthings and food. Okay. So you promptly told him to leave and then the killing started? Yes.

[02:13:33] We kindly refused his offer and we thought that would be that. And then the killing started. And we suspect that he is doing this on purpose to try and bring in new people. Okay. Can we have a description of what he looks like?

[02:13:52] Yes, he has mid-length brown hair, straight. He is fairly pale, red eyes. He was wearing a fairly nice suit. Black, charcoal. I don't know why it's sexual orientation. You know what I meant. Now, we've been offering this information and such.

[02:14:28] Can we get the guarantee that you will not hunt me or my family? So long as you guys continue to not hurt people, I have no desire to cause any destruction to you or your family. Ah. We are here for the murderer. That's all. Fantastic.

[02:14:50] Then I think we have a... Now, that's sad. By leaving you alive, we are forgoing substantial bounty. I think you could probably compensate us for that loss in some small measure. Maybe 10%. So you want to go...

[02:15:10] So you want to try and get in a profit of the vampire strippers? Yes. Okay, roll a persuasion for that. Ah. Four. Four? Do you want to try and get it on this?

[02:15:26] Alternatively, you could provide a couple of your better fighters to give us some supernatural backup for when we go confront this striger. She like... Like, kind of like Pat's pewter's arm. It's like, Piotr here is our bouncer. He will be more than efficient. What? Ah, I guess. Yes.

[02:15:51] I guess I would. And then she's like, also, I have come to understand that there is some kind of bounty for our people. It's pretty substantial. Yes. In exchange for asylum or protection from hunters, we would be also willing to offer our discrete connections and intel.

[02:16:19] Within the secretive networks of vampiric goings on. We do still have some... Fingers and pies. Fingers and pies, this door. To use that analogy. Okay. We can pass that along to our higher ups. They may find that interesting. I think we should not pass it on to anyone.

[02:16:44] No? Unless we use it. Keep it for hours. We should keep that under our hats. Because honestly, if we send it to our higher ups, there's a chance that the lower downs could find out about it. And they could come after this family just for the bounty. Yeah.

[02:17:00] Or it could just be the higher ups aside. I'm gonna think about it as having them dead anyway. Yeah, I'd really ask that. You guys want to know how much you're giving up on not killing these vampires? Yeah. Assuming there are only three.

[02:17:14] Oh no, I'm assuming there's like six. Okay, if you're assuming there's six. I know there's at least four because Babushka, Piotr, Mama and Father. Okay, first. Yeah. And I assume that it's not just those four. Based on what I've arranged now, it's 10,000 a head for vampires.

[02:17:33] So we're giving up 60,000. We don't need money right now. I mean as it is right now you'll be getting 10,000 if you kill the Strigae. Yeah. He's found their nicely. Yeah, they seem to be. Babushka seems rather pleasant.

[02:17:50] The only way to guarantee them safety is if only we know. Yeah, that's true. We report that there is no longer a vampire problem here. The killing stop. Nobody has any reason to come looking. Specifically that there is no longer a vampire problem. Yes. Yes.

[02:18:07] We have eliminated the vampire problem. Make sure to put emphasis on this. Now going back to the problem of Rouge. Yes. They would have presents in Louisiana probably too. That would be a branch now. Likely. French colony. Yes. They seem rather new in the last few years.

[02:18:28] They've come out of Laval. It seems. We've heard some talk about. So they're not like old world vampires. They didn't come over with the. They just go by old traditions. Yeah, they are an old family within, from what we understand, a family within Quebec.

[02:18:45] They seem to have gotten it in their heads that they can maybe expand out of Quebec. So I wouldn't know any other than the homeland. Not so much. Okay. They might be going down there though, because if they, like you said,

[02:19:03] it is a French colony so they might have, they might try and get down there and talk to them. Okay. So, also while we do not know where this Mr. Croc is, we have some ideas of where he may be in town.

[02:19:23] We have not been able to get a exact. He's getting a look if we know what he regulars. Yes. There is, she's still, you're going to have to like, hop up a little bit and then you'll have to like, lift her up a bit. Come on.

[02:19:40] Let's go, Lucy. Come on. Come on, Lucy. Lucy, come on. This should be deposited. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. There we go. Oh, come on. She's failed one. She's feeling like I'm done. I'm done trying. The floor is too slippery. There we go. One and...

[02:20:17] She's like, sliding up your face first. Into the cushion. She's like, you're in my way, you're in my way. You're in my way, sir. Yeah. Like, I would not be surprised if she was like, squeezed behind you. Like, that's my spot. That pillow is mine. Okay.

[02:20:42] Yeah, so she can... She is also willing to offer you guys, or like, they have some suggestions for where you might be able to find this guy. To put... Oh, also, we did receive a... We did still receive a contact information from the man. Two problem errors?

[02:21:06] Your phone number? Well, we suspect it's a burner, but... Yes. In case we changed our minds. I suspect it was... in case we changed our minds because we are being muscled in by vampire hunters. Mm-hmm. Not to use them as bait, but we can use them as bait.

[02:21:26] A.k.a. get them to call and say, we've changed our minds and meet us here. We'll talk about it. She was up, purple flower. Yeah. Do you want to see me ping that phone first? Could do. Could do.

[02:21:40] See if we can get a location on him independently so he doesn't know what's coming. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Also, at this point, your phone does ring. It's Jack. He's finally gotten the last ping off my ass before. Since the DM just remembered I tried to ping Jack.

[02:21:57] We got that ping for that phone. Somewhere up in the woods just outside of... Somewhere. Creston. We got the GDS cordons. Creston the nick of time. Really helped us out with that one. Yeah, we got it. He got it from the body, didn't you? There it is.

[02:22:22] Sorry, I had to go through a couple loops to get with the phone company. Cool. We figured out those loops. We got another phone number for you to trace. Since you must have had so much fun the first time. All right.

[02:22:37] You think you can not take all day with this one? Do you want... Have you talked to a bell representative? No. But I've been one. I can give it the old college try. Again. Okay. Yeah, so she gives you the little card that was given to them.

[02:23:04] And so they have the phone number. So you give Jack the phone number. You're not sure when he's going to call back. And when he's going to be dealing with Bell. We'll give him an hour or two. Okay. Yes, then we should... I don't know. Like I said...

[02:23:28] Hang on. There are... Yeah, so the... So Babushka does have a few... Rumors that they've heard from around town, from some of their clientele over the week of like... Of some spots that you might want to check it, look into. Okay. Apparently there was a site...

[02:23:51] There's some sightings of a stranger at night around the shrine of Marymont statue. It's a... It's basically a statue of Mary, of Mother Mary. Being noted. No, on a hill. It's Marymont. It's done. There's also an out of towner with a peculiar accent

[02:24:15] visiting the Spanish Room Manor Bed and Breakfast. There are some unusual boat travel... There's been some unusual boat travel at night spotted near Birchie Island, which is owned by a wealthy family, the Vandermeers. Aside from that, those are the most prominent rumors that like...

[02:24:39] The Babushka has gotten from like some of the... The Zidziks have found from their clientele... Have overheard from their clientele or like when they've been asking around and such. Okay. As to where this guy might be hiding out well, when he's not doing his killings. Okay.

[02:25:00] I think the Bed and Breakfast stands the most promising. Strange accent one? Yeah, you're probably right. Go with a more... I am very intrigued by the statue. Which is closer. If you guys are at the... Still at the Braxton? Yeah. I think Marymount is...

[02:25:29] I can hear that guy, he's probably closest. I will say... You guys pop on your phones because it's the 21st fucking century. It's between Creston and Maristown. It's on the way back into Maristown from where you guys are right now. And you look at where the Spanish Room's

[02:25:51] Bed and Breakfast is, it's on the other... It's basically... It's on the outskirts of town where you guys... When you guys were coming into town in the first place it's closer to that part of search of town. There was a further one. Pretty much.

[02:26:08] Birchie Island is also between Creston and Maristown. It's in the inlet. That's between Creston and Marymount. It's like in the middle of the inlet. For distance is it basically statue, then water, and then the hotel? Honestly, I'd say it's probably closer to

[02:26:31] Birchie Island from where you guys are and then the Shrine of Marymount Statue and then the Spanish Room. But we're not thinking... There's too much pull from the water option? I don't feel terribly compelled to check it out. Okay, we can just do statue

[02:26:50] and then run over to the hotel then. Bed and Breakfast. Right in the hotel. Okay. So, yeah. Is there anything else you want to learn from Babushka before... Or are they allowed to leave? Or are you guys going to gun them down?

[02:27:11] I would like your recipe for borscht. I have a very good sanguine borscht. No, thank you. It's disgusting. We also have very good blood sausage. Also does not sound appealing. I don't think it'll suit our palate. Different strokes for different folks. We appreciate that.

[02:27:37] You do run a strip club so... We've run a strip club. It was a very productive and peaceful way of living after what had happened. After we got here. Well, if there is nothing else, we will... Have a good evening.

[02:27:57] Thank you for not murdering me and my family. I hope we're laughing a little bit. I understand your lies. She says with no... She's probably said that a hundred times. Very politely smiling. If we are lying, you can... Last the whole town.

[02:28:17] Just to make sure that we're not miscaping. Do you want PO to stick around and help you guys out? Yes. But he can drive his Babushka home first. He gets into his black SUV. He drives black windows. Is it an Escalade? Yes. God damn it.

[02:28:43] We should have killed them. And they drive about 30 minutes later he comes back. He drives a black Hummer. Like... H3? No, the tiny one. He has a shotgun. The enormous one with the military bulletproof doors. He doesn't say that because we might steal it off of him.

[02:29:09] He doesn't have that. Oh I see. He doesn't have that. He just has a regular... Is the smallest crappiest Hummer there is? The one that was lost. He's coming back with a double bag. Or like a sports double bag.

[02:29:28] Just for the record, I'm not going to fit in there. Oh no, this is my shotgun. And some iron shotgun. For Strega? Yes. Oh sorry, Silver. Silver, Silver. I am Iron. Did you bring Silver? Yes, I brought Silver Shot. Okay. So we're going away with the statue?

[02:29:56] I guess so. Where do you want to meet? Do you want to just do trail you guys? Or should he ride shotgun? Ah! Because he has shotgun. I do! Speaking of which... You know, you guys don't have a shotgun. I already have one. We found it last time.

[02:30:15] I've got an extra one for the car. We can keep it loaded in like, you know, holster in the passenger seat. That's true. So where are we going? Oh yeah, right. At this point it is nighttime. At this point it has gotten dark.

[02:30:32] Okay, there's probably a car full of gas is expensive. Oh okay, do we like going to yours? Get in the van. It's no fucking arms, get in the van. Yeah, he opens up the... That is a... Is that the... That is a shag storm. It's a shag storm.

[02:30:53] Yeah, fair. It's a shag ceiling solo. Why is the shag carpet so low? Why is there shag carpet on the ceiling? Very deep vial on that. Where do you get this chichin chong? Favorite movie of our life. This is like chichin chong meets the scooby-doo gang. Alice's restaurant.

[02:31:13] Thank you. Massacree with five-part harmony. Okay, so you guys all get in the van and... With the vampire. To go to the vampire now. He's a vampire now. Sorry. Yeah, I deserve that one. Well, that's a yay. Well done.

[02:31:44] Okay, so you guys are going to the statue though? Yes. Alright, yeah, so you roll in, there's a small little parking lot. I think. Yeah, there's like a landmark kind of thing for like, for Maristown. So there's like a little kind of public parking lot area.

[02:32:06] There's some lights kind of showing the statue and stuff on the hill. So let's park the van. There's woods all around as well. With the back of the van pointing towards the statue. For no reason. Yes. We're back in.

[02:32:23] Remember it doesn't necessarily have to back in, you can go sideways to the bridge. Yeah, it goes a lot. We'll make it work either way. So let's get some good angles of fire. I mean angles of view. Yep, angles of view.

[02:32:37] So we can get in quickly and leave if we have to. Aaron, you seem like to have some kind of thought on your mind. Yeah, honestly it's about a different game. You never know. We live in a tipped over VW MicroBus. In the Bunnies and Burrows.

[02:32:55] Bunnies and Burrows games. Yeah. Bunnies and blimps. Yeah, I thought so. Yeah, just like things just keep correlating in our games. Yep, yep.

[02:33:05] So we were driving in the VW MicroBus and I had an intrusive thought of if he turned the wheel too fast how we tip over and slide. And how like 50 years from now everything would be overgrown and Bunnies would live in it. Hyper-cology Bunnies.

[02:33:25] Yeah, one of them would make a shield out of the Volkswagen logo. Yep. Piotr just like leans over to you, John. Is he high? Not this week. Actually. He literally like, he literally like,

[02:33:50] Yeah, I flew a cop super this one time so that he wouldn't really remember what he saw. Interesting. Alright, wanna get it in search? Yeah, yeah I guess we should do that. Alright, roll perception. Oh, I'm investigating a thing at the vantage. Okay, you do.

[02:34:15] Are you not rolling Dave? I'm staying in the van. Oh, are you staying in the van? Yeah, just like when they get out of line and say I'm just gonna like peel back the shack a little bit and just make sure the guns a little bit.

[02:34:29] Where do you guys want Piotr? Do you want him to go over there? He's got that. Okay. 19.22. 21. Man, Piotr sucks. He is the most unperceptive person. I rolled two, three times for him to spot you guys and to spot things. It's like a 1 in 600. Jesus Christ.

[02:34:54] Okay, so he's just like, he's not gonna help you guys. He's not gonna be very hot and congy. Yeah maybe. Okay, so you guys are, so who, sorry, what did you guys roll though? 21. 20. Okay.

[02:35:07] Yeah, after you guys do notice like as you were like pulling into the parking lot there was a car. Like a small like kind of like a crappy dingy looking car pulled in. Not a car. What was your car that you had about 10 years ago? Trixie?

[02:35:25] Yeah, the Trixie. The Toyota Trixel. Yeah, it's a Toyota Trixel. Does it have to go back to the plates? Does it have to go back to the plates? No, it's new for me. It's new for you Trixie. Smur. And think about looking for plates.

[02:35:42] So yeah, that's what you know when you started like your... What else do I notice about the car? It's got an antenna at the back like a really long, ridiculously long antenna in the back. Is this just me being put into your game? Maybe. You check the dash.

[02:36:01] There's a CB radio. Is this an undercarved cop or something? Actually, you look through the... You're looking inside the car? Yeah. There is a duffel bag... Or not a duffel bag, there's like a large like backpack in the back of the car. With some kind of like...

[02:36:21] It's too hard in the dark to see like... But there's like there's something... Some kind of like device poking out of the backpack. Take a look around. You guys... Yeah, you're looking around and so that...

[02:36:38] You actually, Marcel, as Jake is looking out in the car, you see that you notice a figure near the hill by the statue. It's just in silhouette at this point. With the lighting, the way it is. I'm going to signal to Pietro. Yes. Come with me.

[02:37:05] Look at him. Oh, whoa! You just came with us nowhere. Yeah, stick with me. Bring you up and have a look around. Yes, very well. So we're going to calmly approach. See who this individual is. As you are approaching him, you get a little more details about him.

[02:37:27] Looks like a lanky looking guy. He has something in his hand, like in front of his face. And then you see a couple of flashes. What is your photographer? Kind of looks like it, yeah. It's not always casting a solid flare. Yeah.

[02:37:49] But yeah, he's taking some photos and stuff like that. It seems like with the camera. I asked Pietro, is that him? He does not smell of him. Never mind then. What did Jake want to do? Use prestigitation to pop the lock so I can open the door.

[02:38:11] You do so. Use a prestigitation to unlock a door? It's a car door. I can see the lock pin. It only takes like a pound of pressure to lift the thing. Oh, I didn't know you can manipulate stuff with that.

[02:38:26] You can lift an object that weighs up to a pound. So it's not like fine manipulation but for the purposes of the car, yeah, you can open the locks as long as you can see through the windows. Neat. Yeah, so you pop open the door.

[02:38:47] Okay, and I will grab the thing sticking out of the backpack. Yeah, it's an extra lens for a camera. Oh. You look and see some binders and stuff like on the bottom of the ground and some monster energy drink empty cans.

[02:39:02] I thought he was going to say some monster bits. Like, it's the open term? Yeah. It's Pokemon Snap to the extreme. No, again some crumpled or crushed empty monster energy drink cans as well. The binders, they're full of pictures I assume?

[02:39:26] Yeah, pictures and what looks like assignment paper sheets. This is like a college kid. Okay, I will squat down on the ground, try to stay out of sight and flip through those real quick. Yeah, you find some really good shots of night shots of the forest

[02:39:47] and of the harbor and the inlet and such. This kid's got a knack for photography. Okay, and that's it? Yeah. Okay, I'll stand up and close the door. Okay. I'm already signaling you over. Okay, I'll go walk over. Back to the car, let's get out of here.

[02:40:11] Not our guy. Not our guy on you while they're over there doing that. Yeah. Alright, probably taking the magnet up. I got to put the one bullet back in that I shot just in case. Yep. Okay, so how about where you start hitting that? Yep. Okay, where next?

[02:40:28] I guess the bed and breakfast. Yeah, okay. So you drive across town, basically across the inlet. Where is that Spanish manner? Yeah, it's basically out of town. It's like a bit out of town on a little micro peninsula.

[02:40:51] There's nothing, there's not a lot there, but there's a good place to throw bodies in. Yeah, you are actually passing. There's a major construction, like offshore construction site going on right now. Like down the road from this place, it seems.

[02:41:14] And you eventually turn off into a nice rustic forested road with a manner. It's like an old Spanish colonial manner. Okay. And there's a couple of, there's a few, it's lit up, but it's open and open for business and such.

[02:41:33] There's two or three cars in the parking lot area. Okay, it occurs to me on this drive that my mage armor has worn off, so I'm going to recast that. So you are going into the main lobby to talk to the people?

[02:42:01] Yeah, there's a clerk at the, it's sort of like a bed and breakfast slash like, it's like a mom-paw kind of micro hotel mixed with a bed and breakfast. There's a little desk at the front in the opening hall area.

[02:42:22] And yeah, if you're going through there or you go and sneak around. I mean unless somebody wants to do this a different way. I'm just staying with the stay of the van. I'm too hyper-cofile. Okay, thank you. Excuse me, where is that?

[02:42:40] You got the van right at the entrance to the driveway so that the back of the van is pointed towards the whole house. Yep. Okay, all right, well at least there's that. Yeah, it's a nice looking place.

[02:42:54] It's got like that enclosed like wrap-around porch or like that roofed wrap-around porch and stuff. It's got like one of those little corner tower kind of setups and such. It's good about two or three floors. It's yellow. Hell yeah. Like creamy yellow. Okay.

[02:43:13] You go inside, it's rustically wood-paneled and such, with some burgundy wallpaper in the dining room area and such. And the lobby. There's an old woman with frilly hair at the counter. It's like, oh, we only have reservations. Sorry, we don't do walk-ins.

[02:43:35] Even, man, I'm not here for a reservation. I'm here for one of your guests. Oh, this was a reminder. Oh fuck, but... Oh fuck yeah. Oh, sorry, but... Oh, I guess you're funny. You'll betcha, you'll betcha.

[02:43:51] The other night I was out at the Merry Browns there and I had some dinner. When I went outside just for a quick dart there, there was a feller and he actually is the one who gave me the dart to have a quick smoke there.

[02:44:04] And I never got the guy's name but he had a bit of an accent. What happened to him? He said he was staying in town. You got anybody who might match that description? I checked at the motel already. They ain't got nobody right now. Roll persuasion.

[02:44:24] Actually, I guess deception because you're... You're typically lying. You're lying. That's fine. I'm proficient in... Yeah. Yeah. Also don't take advantage because of the gas lighter or feet. Or is that just for something else? No, that just means that I can convince them of anything. Got it. Really?

[02:44:47] No, yeah. As long as it's not too outlandish, he could basically... I could convince the people in this town that the murders have been done by aliens. Okay. I am a walking PR machine. Men in black. Just watch the red light. Yeah. He's a walking neuralizer. Nice.

[02:45:08] But I have to make a skill check. You couldn't make the town believe it was aliens. Because remember, you can make them believe not the truth, but it can't be too outlandish. No. No, but outlandish is determined by the base of the truth that they already know.

[02:45:27] So if they know that it's vampires and I tell them no, no, it's aliens. So much better. It's just different. It's not any more outlandish. Fair. I would think though that you'd probably want to try and like mundane a... Yes, I'm just saying. She's a good...

[02:45:47] She could go that way. This is a dirty 20. Okay. I was like, oh, was it a French man? Yeah. Yeah, I think he was. Okay. I believe... Yeah, that would be... What are their names? That would be... Mr... Mr... Wow, I did not actually give names for this.

[02:46:18] Okay. That would be Mr. Francois and his wife, I think. They're up on the second floor and on... If you need to talk to them. I really appreciate that. Okay, I'll come with you and knock on the door. Oh no, you don't have to trouble yourself.

[02:46:37] I kind of want to surprise them here, but why don't you order yourself a Tim's there, love? And give her a $20 bill. If I just had a Tim's card right now... You have a $20 Tim's card? $50 Tim's card, just so that you're on the desk. Oh, bless your heart.

[02:46:55] I was like, okay, yeah, just go right up the stairs. It's the second on the left. Is there room? Well, there is. You can only find a box on it. Yeah. Yeah.

[02:47:06] All right, so as I'm walking up the stairs, I will shoot these guys a text saying that I'm headed to this room number. Apparently it's Francois and his wife. You didn't need to text me, I'm standing right beside you. I thought you'd stay at the car too?

[02:47:22] No, he'd stay at the car. Did Piotr stay with them too or did he go? Is Piotr here too? Or all three of you guys? Is Piotr with you guys as you go? If you wanted to do this on the most DEL, you'd be going in by yourself.

[02:47:37] And then you'd be texting us. If that wasn't a plan from the get-go. Yeah, I mean they could be outside. Like Piotr and him could be outside. Yes. I'm in a band on Overwatch. Yes.

[02:47:49] I don't necessarily think I could convince the older lady if there were three intimidating guys. Yeah, yeah, I think that would be a little bit of a mess. Oh okay, I guess I'm going in by myself. Alright, so you went in, you texted us. Yes.

[02:48:04] And just a little old lady, going in to Tim Hortons. Also Piotr says like, I could also go and climb up to the window of the room if you give me where I need to go. True that. So I could be there ready if this is where...

[02:48:23] Thumbs up Mr. Krakis. Okay. Okay, so he's climbing the walls like... He's mind-freaking walking up the walls. Like he's walking like vertically. Horizontally. Horizontally. Are you coming in? Nothing to front door because I'm going to run into the same spiel. No, no, it's fine. You're outside just waiting.

[02:48:45] So you just see the woman's like $50 to Hortons couple of times walking out. I was like, I just get seen through her car like all excited. If she leaves, then I'll go in. Yeah, she gets out and leaves. She's going to Hortons. Oh, hell yeah.

[02:49:00] Oh, fuck how about it? Oh, fuck how about it. Alright, well then if you're coming in, then I will quickly go behind the desk and just duck down for a second and then from the side come out as a wolf. Okay. Nice. And then tentatively sniff the air.

[02:49:20] Am I getting any grave dirt smell? No, not down here. Okay. I'm going to keep my nose peeled for that on the way up. Yeah, you go upstairs with John and keep walking.

[02:49:37] You get up to the door of the bed and breakfast and there is still no smell.

[02:49:44] Though there is a really pungent aroma of like kind of it's like a mix of mothballs and like just like the musty perfume kind of scent of this bed and breakfast and like cedar. Okay, okay. So that could be disrupting my my schnozzle. Good. Yeah.

[02:50:09] You guys just going to knock or are you going to just like... Oh yeah. Kind of like that. But no, I guess I'll repopel eyes and knock on the door. I mean if you want to stay as a wolf just in case I knock on the door.

[02:50:28] Oh okay. Okay. If you're concerned about combat and such. Alright then I will stay as a wolf. Okay. So you knock on the door? Yes. You guys hear it like a bit of a mothal's commotion on the inside of the door. Who is it? Crepping in a plan.

[02:50:48] Looks like a wolf crepping in a plan. I paw at the door and cry. You hear a woman's voice like... Oh is that a puppy? Oh, let's go see the puppy. It's like... Marie, look at you. Until my head just go with it. Okay.

[02:51:12] So I did a paw at the door a bunch. One moment. Coming in the door opens a chain. It's like we... Stick my nose in the door. That starts sniffing furiously. Yeah. Right as you grab it. Roll a survival. Okay. To see if you can find that scent.

[02:51:35] With advantage. I guess, yeah. I would say it's like woodpecker advantage because of that overpowering mothball smell and such. It's advantage when tracking. And that is what I'm attempting to do. And I am so glad it was an advantage because the hat was a...

[02:51:52] It was a one and this was a 16. Okay, so 16 and 4 and 2 is 22. Okay, yeah. You do not smell the grape dirt smell. It smells of like a fan, like a perfume and some of that. And the woman pushes her husband out of the way. Oh, what the...

[02:52:16] Oh, that's a big puppy. Yeah, pardon me ma'am. Is it a wolf in Lendak? Oh, do you think it was a wolf? It's the stats of a wolf. Yeah. Okay, yeah. That is it. Big puppy. Yeah, sorry. He just would not let me go away.

[02:52:34] He smelled something and he had to go up here. I'm sorry. Yeah, and this couple is like in their 50s. And they've got like... She's got a nightgown on and he's got boxers and white beater kind of shirt on.

[02:52:51] Okay, tail wag, big grin, give the wife a little affection. Yeah. Not like that. I like the wife as the dog can do. As the dog is being pet by the wife, Francois. He's like, so can I help you? Your dog came to the door.

[02:53:15] When he gets on a scent, I can't tell him no. He's just going to have to find that scent or I'll never sleep at night. He'll bug me. As you're saying this, you look past him over his shoulder to the window and you just see like...

[02:53:31] He's like, he's like... Like turt down. I mean, yeah. Sorry, I got it. He's like, as he's turning, you see Piotr... Or just like pop off into the shadows into the night. Fucking vampire.

[02:53:50] Alright, and then I'll look once at the wife and once at the husband, turn around and trot back out the room. Tail wagging down the stairs, out the door. Thank you for pointing out with him. He's quite a character. No problem. My wife seems to be really caring.

[02:54:06] Have a good night, you too. Thank you, my dog. Yeah, so you get back to the car. Okay, well that was a bust. I'm going to say in dog form for now. Fair. Sounds like our lowest priority... It's the most important lead.

[02:54:24] It's fine. We found it out the hard way. I'll send Jack a quick text message. Any progress yet? You're a dog. You're a dog. Wow, I was sitting there waiting for the gun. Yeah, as you're waiting, Jack probably calls back.

[02:54:41] Question, does your cell phone... Do you still have it as dog form? Do you have a dog? It's merged into my body. Oh, is it? So you're vibrating somewhere probably. As you guys are getting to this, Jack is like... Yeah, it's...

[02:54:57] I had to pay off a couple of people to get this fucking information. Looks like it's these coordinates. Here you go. We're gonna have to... We can't keep calling the phone company. We're gonna have to lie low with the phone company for a while.

[02:55:13] By the way, I kept rolling poorly for Jack. That's why I was... This was like, I rolled a five the last time. I was like, oh that's poop. You get the... You get the deep to make this easier for yourself. You get the coordinates.

[02:55:29] It's smack dab in the middle of Birchie Island. God damn it. Alright. Thanks for going through the false... The red flags. The red herrings, yeah. Thanks for going through the red herrings scenario scenes. That was really fun. No problem. Always happy to help.

[02:55:51] So yeah, you guys head over to... We know we're going to the actual right place now. Yeah. Or are you? Yeah, this is a secret four of one. You guys travel back around... At this point it's like 12. It's like midnight. Actually, odds or evens? Evens.

[02:56:17] Because the odds or gains just... Okay. Yeah, so you guys follow the road through Maristown... Back on the main road on Heritage Run through Maristown. Passing the stripper joint again. Going across the narrows back toward Creston. And you see that there is a...

[02:56:46] Just across from a residential house on Creston Boulevard. There is a road that goes directly to a concrete boat launch area. Okay. And there is no boat at the dock. But you do see some lights over at a house.

[02:57:14] Or over at a dock and over at a boat house and such. Over on the island across the water. The water itself is probably about 75 meters. So how much is that in feet? I mean 225. Yeah, you're about 225 feet away across the water. It is the island. Okay.

[02:57:39] But there is no boat at the dock. It could be a doggie battle that if you wanted to, right? It is the Atlantic water. It's ocean water. And it is also June. Still cold. Or July. Sorry. I'm a Newfoundland dog. That's it.

[02:57:57] He would probably not be affected too badly. But you guys not so much. So you will restill the boat. Are you still in dog form? Yes. When you get down to the boat launch? Yes. You do smell the grave dirt in and around the dock. Okay.

[02:58:15] I'm going to give a little growl so that those guys know that there is a trans-smell. Yup. Piotr is just like kind of like looking a little bit fidgety. We had crossed the water. That's my problem for you. He kind of...

[02:58:38] My people don't do very well with running water. Then how the hell did you get here from the old world? By boat. That works for you? If you're on a boat, it's fine? Yeah. That. Boat or plane. Also we did not come from the old world.

[02:58:55] We came from Ontario. Do you know why you have that accent? Because we are Polish. It sticks with you. Fair enough. It is true. I am Irish and here is Slavic accent. But you are originally from Slovakia. I've never even been there.

[02:59:22] It's right to the dogs standing up and doing this accent. Skin walker. We need to find a boat. To get across or swim in Slovakia. You guys could do an investigation check around... Because it's shoreline properties around you.

[02:59:49] So you guys could see if you could find a boat. Borrow a boat. Yeah, borrow a boat. Yes. I.e. stealth in a sleight of hand. A boat. We still have fleece credentials. Still people are like... You want to try to covertly do it and then failing that.

[03:00:08] I'm commandeering your boat. If there's a row boat, that'd be better. We don't necessarily need a motor boat to go 100 feet. Somebody roll an investigation. I'm investigating for a boat. I can be a re critic. You do find a row boat, you also find a paddle boat.

[03:00:27] Like one of those like... Oh hell yeah. Like a plastic paddle boat. It's a heavy duty one but it's basically a giant oversized paddle boat. No, let me take the row boat. So I roll the boat back over if I can use two up.

[03:00:43] It'd be fair, it's a row boat that does have an engine. But it does have these bars for row boats. It has oar locks. Does it have oars? Yes, it does have oars.

[03:00:52] It has all the stuff that you would need because the person that owned it is clearly like care about water safety. Get in the boat boy. We're going for a paddle. Alright, I'll hop in the boat. Is this boat big enough for you? Yeah, I'll do it.

[03:01:15] He's sort of nervous around it because it's a small boat. He likes the big ones. But yeah, he gets in and he does not look happy to be in the boat but he's there.

[03:01:29] I'll keep my hand on his back or on his collar to try to like support him. In case he's scared of like falling over with some shit. For the first time you do that, because he's just like... Take it easy man. He's not like kind of drowned.

[03:01:43] I will die if I fall into this water. Alright. Very likely. Very painful. Well, you're not going to fall into the water so it's fine. Alright, so you roll across. Roll stealth because you try to do this stealthily. Well, we're not going to do a straight at it.

[03:02:05] We're going to go... That's what the stealth roll is for. I can use a spell if you want to assist. If you want to assist? Yes. Might be good? Yes. Okay. Do I have to roll anything for that? No. Okay. What does it do?

[03:02:21] Pass with a trace plus 10 stealth. Plus 10 stealth? Everyone. So that's 20. Okay, I can see. Okay, so yeah you... I was going to do it too but I can't because I'm... You pedal... You know, you pedal... Like you roll silently.

[03:02:38] Like you don't hear the lapping of the waves on the boat or anything. You just hear the lapping. You roll, roll, roll this boat. Gently down the narrows. Gently across the narrows to this island. There is a... So there's several points on this island.

[03:02:57] In fact, there's three points on this island. One actually has what looks like a dock at the very end of it. And then it goes into... The other one looks like it kind of bleeds off and heads toward the island.

[03:03:12] And then there's one on the northwest end of the island. That's just like a rocky point. I can actually show you the island if you want to see it. If you guys want to see what the island looks like that you're infiltrating. Is there a beach?

[03:03:26] Yeah, there's like rock... It's like dark black sand beach. Oh, that's good. I will say also like the moon is out so like there's some... There's some moon like kind of keeping you kind of lighting your way as well. I've got MDGs. What? I have MDGs. Oh yeah.

[03:03:43] Does everyone not? I don't. Why do you guys buy MDGs? Because I was going through buying shit and then the game started. Because I have a wizard. Now, aside from the boat house that is at the end of the... We're on the shoreline from the dock.

[03:03:58] This island seems very forested. But there... You can also see like from around the... Like beyond the boat house there is some paths and clearings that go deeper into the island.

[03:04:12] It looks like the center of the island has kind of got a large clear path and then it's just surrounded by dense pine trees. Perfect. Good for sneaking. Strange enough, cedars and pines not birch. For an island called Birchy Island.

[03:04:28] So how long has your path been traced so long? I was literally just about to look it up. An hour. Concentration up to an hour. Oh hell yeah. We're good then. Oh fuck yeah, but... Fuck yeah. And we also can't be tracked except by magical means, right? Yep.

[03:04:42] Oh, Fiddle-de-de potatoes. Yeah, you do go a little Irish sometimes. Please coast, get pretty Irish. And they are pretty much Irish. Yeah. So I'll put on my MVGs and I will stealth my way up towards the middle of the island. So you guys have docked...

[03:04:58] So where were you guys docking? On the beach? On the beach. Okay so you guys like silently onto the sand... Onto the black sand beach. Yeah. Um, and then yeah, you're going in... What are you two doing? We're following him because he is the night vision goggles.

[03:05:12] Okay and what do you... And same with, uh, with Pewter? You want him to uh... Stay away? What he can see in the dark too. Yeah. So he's probably going to have to rear. Yeah so he's up there. Yeah he'll be. Yeah I'll see if he...

[03:05:24] He rolls so well. Yeah you guys are good. Oh yeah? Yeah. 920? Yeah actually. Wow. The first 20 of the game I've had. So Lambda, space shuttle. Lambda. Son of a bitch. As if it took me this fucking long. Okay.

[03:05:43] I watched Return of the Jedi with my niece and nephew. Oh! Two weeks ago. Okay. For last week. Wow. Last week. Uh, and they asked me what kind of shuttle that was. That's... Is that Darth Vader's shuttle? Or is that... Yeah, yeah. That's shuttle Tiderium.

[03:06:01] It's the one being used by the Rebels and it is a... The Imperial glass shuttle. Shoot I can't remember the name. And it's been bugging me for a week. You didn't take a Google in it? I wanted to remember it on my own. That's fair, yeah.

[03:06:16] That's because it's knowledge I have. Yeah it's in there. At the back of Google. The back of noodle actually. So you guys didn't have them like call this guy to set up a trap. You're just trying to ambush this guy. Yeah. Are you rolling for your perception?

[03:06:36] Perception, yep. Also I need you guys to roll stealth as you're coming off the island. Okay. Does passive perception come into play at all? Passive perception? Yes. I'm asking. Okay. Actually... Yeah, no. So stealth you said? Yeah. Plus 10's remember? Yes. Stealth 13 and 14. So 24. No, no. Total.

[03:07:01] Oh for the stealth? Yeah, I will have three. Okay. Perception... of 10. Nope, that's a good fail. It's not a 7, that's a 1. No okay. 23 not that it matters anymore. You can still see stuff, I just can't see stuff. What's a stealth roll in that perception?

[03:07:25] No my stealth roll was a 14. Oh okay. Oh we're doing stealth and imperceptible. Yes. Sorry I missed that part. My stealth was a 33. Damn. Because I'm a doc. Right. Yep. Total of 20 on perception. Okay. My perception... Oh, I roll in at advantage so I can forget about that 6.

[03:07:55] Take something else instead. 2. No. The 2 was right next to the hatch. Okay, almost. Okay so that's a 15 plus 4 and 19. Okay. So some good news and bad news. Good news is... you guys... what you see in front of you is this nice manicured property. Very rustic looking micro... McMansion.

[03:08:34] It's clearly some kind of rich guy's house in the middle of the woods. Sort of situation they have. Most of the lights are on. Or at least some of the lights are on. They're all pointed at you. All the spotlights are pointed directly at us.

[03:08:48] We're all standing there like... But like no, they're all lighting lights and so on. You can't see anybody inside. But then a couple of you guys... hear some sounds up in the trees behind you. And that's when Piotr is like... He's up there! He said it loud?

[03:09:14] Yeah, and he looked at it and then you see there's a figure floating among the trees. Caught on one of the branches is like... Ash! Man! And then he vanishes. Very fire. Very fire in that spot. Oh nice! 20 foot cube detects anything.

[03:09:37] Yeah, there is an outline of a guy. He's invisible floating. Like he's still trying to pull the thing off. He pulled off his coat. But yeah, he went invisible and then you fire it off. And then you just hear him and he's like... Ah, top of the act!

[03:09:58] So... Initiative! Excellent. Also we get advantage on him now. Yes. Very fire is a pretty excellent spell. Very specifically. Very specifically. God, I can't roll for shit tonight. What'd you get? Four? Just four? Total of four? Fuck! You can't roll for shit tonight! 19. 19? 12. Okay, so turn on the 12.

[03:10:30] 19 for Jacob. Peter got terrible. You know what I can do? I can spend that anime dice to use tactical coordination. I spend one of my dice and I add the result to a character's initiative. So I can boost you up potentially. Oh! That's pretty excellent.

[03:10:51] It might not do much because it's literally a D4. And... Mr. Kroc is actually going first. Okay, that's about it. Oh, he got 20. Not like a 20 but like a dirty 20. What is his initiative? And then... If he did that, I'm just gonna adjust this. So are we?

[03:11:15] This one. Alright. Basically he's like a tabernacle. You stupid Polish cow. You are a disgrace to your peoples. Your mother was a hamster. Your mother smelled of elderberries. Now go away or I shall taunt you in second hand. So yeah, Kroc is going to...

[03:11:46] Was that spelled by the way? C-R-O-C. Oh really? Yeah, Missy O'Kroc. Okay. It does mean something. I can't remember what I grabbed but it's like a French translation from something. I know there's a sandwich with that in the name.

[03:12:00] I watched a movie last night where main character Burt Reynolds, he's basically playing, smoking the bandit but in like the Bayou and his character's name is Gator. Gator? Yeah. Nice. Very close to Kroc. Yeah. So he actually has a shotgun on him as well.

[03:12:22] How far away is he? He is vampire with a shotgun. Actually it should be a shotgun or pistol for a French vampire that wish for a mob. You said mob, it could be a Thompson for all we know. I shouldn't have said that. Why did you mention AA-12?

[03:12:41] It is a Thompson. He pulls out a goddamn Thompson. I'm gonna just use the submachine gun. Yeah there is submachine gun. Yeah there is submachine gun. We'll just use those. You can just pull those up for me. Yeah, I'll do that. Alright. He is going to target...

[03:12:59] If he gets close with a shotgun it's gonna work so honestly. So I'm gonna say 123 pure thirst for him. My dad's really hating Dave. They're constantly going after you. Just the way it is. To be fair he's the only one who has attacked so far. That's true yeah.

[03:13:20] And he did an effective thing. Yeah that's true. He's very hot on the back. And Joe! I shall talk to you about it. Just like as he pulls out the Thompson just like just starts firing upon you with a roll of 13. Okay and he's doing full auto.

[03:13:41] So and he's targeting me? Yeah. So then I do a dex save to half the damage? I believe so. So that works. But you'll have to look up the... I'm really close to it. I also need to pull up the stats for the submachine gun.

[03:13:57] It's 2d4 and 60 minimum range. 60 minimum? Yep. And just piercing and all that stuff. So full auto. There it is. Why is it a fucking paragraph? You can choose one creature within normal range or choose two creatures within normal range that are 5 feet from each other.

[03:14:30] And make a range attack against each of them. Treat your targets as though they have partial cover. On hit you double the damage dice rolled against each target though not any damage modifiers. You may only use full auto attack against targets within normal range.

[03:14:44] Full auto attacks against your targets at long range automatically miss. Full auto attacks. Use 5 times the normal amount of ammo and less otherwise specified. Mail it, make one full auto attack per round. So... It doesn't say dex save or anything. You just take it? Just take it.

[03:15:07] Well it's probably just like normal rules I guess? No it didn't even roll a 13 you said? I rolled a 13. Does that hit you? No. Okay well he does have a second attack. No he doesn't. Oh it's just full auto. Oh it's just full auto.

[03:15:21] I guess he doesn't get any other bonuses around that too. Hit you right? Sorry did it say in the rules that he had to make an attack roll? Well none of these say that. For semi-auto semi-automag weapons can fire several pieces of ammo ammunition with a single attack.

[03:15:37] When you use such a weapon to make a semi-automag attack maybe that's what that means. Choose one creature with a normal or long range blah blah blah blah. Doesn't say make an attack roll.

[03:15:48] But full auto says fully unmatched weapons can fire a large amount of ammunition with a single attack. Sometimes starting more than one person at a time. And make ranged attack rolls against each of them. It says it specifically. Make ranged attack rolls against each of them.

[03:16:06] Okay so then you don't hit a dex save because he has to make an attack roll. Okay so it's a normal attack. It's a normal attack because it gets to do more than one. So then here's my question then also because of that.

[03:16:15] How close are you guys to each other? I mean we were walking, it's dark honestly so we were probably pretty close. Yeah we were fighting tank file. So then I think he's attacking another one of you guys. Probably. My question is can he even see me? A vampire.

[03:16:32] He's a vampire. My stealth roll is 33. That's true he doesn't see him. Is there any other attack? Piotr or me? Piotr. I'd say Piotr's in the back so he's probably getting him pegged as well. By the gunfire. It's actually worse you're better.

[03:16:51] Also you have to treat targets as if they have partial cover whatever that bonus is. Oh okay so it's half cover it's plus two to your AC, if it's three quarters cover it's plus five. Is partial the half cover then? I guess it's half cover.

[03:17:05] I guess it's half cover. So yeah he definitely misses on both of the guns. Bulls just cut rain down. That is what he is doing. Next up is Jacob. Jacob. Okay. Jacob. How high up is he? He's about 60 feet from you guys.

[03:17:30] He was basically at the edge of the range. Yeah basically so he's about 60 feet up and 6 feet down. So basically like... The diagonal is 60 feet. Yes 40 feet in the air. Yeah 40 feet in the air? Yeah he'd be about 40 feet in the air.

[03:17:47] Okay so I'm going to skirt around trying to stay out of his out of his sight in the dark through the trees. Then as I walk behind a tree I come out the other side as Jacob. And then I'm going to cast invisibility. Okay.

[03:18:07] It seems the tables have turned. Miss your croc. Okay that's all you're doing? Yep. John. Okay I'm going to spend an anime dice to tag him as my favorite enemy. Oh wait I have to hit actually to do this first so I need to shoot him.

[03:18:31] So I will shoot him with bullets. I will use the semi-automatic from the AR which is a three shot burst. Annoyingly that's what they call it. This thing. This is not very good. Nine. Nine? Nine's gonna miss. I figured. Pew pew pew they go wide. Okay.

[03:18:59] Piotr is next. He's got a shotgun. I still have bonus actions in shit. I do pay them with bonus actions though actually. So Piotr's gone out. I think I actually do. Actions and actions. Oh Hunter's mark. Yeah Hunter's mark him. Okay. That's a good idea.

[03:19:33] Also because I think I'm going to have Piotr probably try and shoot him with a shotgun since that's got a range of 30 or 120.

[03:19:39] So on the latter part of that is that just like decrease the, or is that just increase like the amount of, like the, what is the, what is it? So I know short range doesn't suffer any penalties. What is the penalty for the longer range?

[03:19:51] Using if he's shooting full auto he automatically misses shooting full, shooting long range. Not a shooting shotgun though. He's switching weapons? No no this is Piotr. Oh sorry. Yeah. It's half damage if he's using the long range one? Okay. It's something like that yeah.

[03:20:08] Because like shotguns are actually like specifically different. Yeah. If you're normal range you do normal damage. If you're half normal range you double damage, but if you're shooting long range you do half damage. Okay.

[03:20:21] Yeah sorry I just didn't want because like this isn't like separate tracks so like I didn't want to have to, poor Lucy like hacking up while you're doing that. Sorry it gets advantage at targets that are within half of its normal range.

[03:20:42] So for shotgun that'd be 15 which he's not. Yeah. And he's actually shooting long range so he's doing half damage. Yeah okay. So I will roll to see if he even hits him. Oh good you're done right? Like your, yeah I just marked him. Okay and that's about it.

[03:20:58] Does that mark effect what Piotr is about to shoot? His shooting some of that or is that? Oh it's just me. God damn it Piotr get it together. Yeah he misses. Man vampires can't shoot.

[03:21:13] No apparently not which is weird because they all have night vision but they have like a pretty decent night vision but they're just shooting distance. It doesn't make you a good shot. Yeah so they both missed each other like so next what does Piotr get second shot?

[03:21:27] He does get a second shot. Yeah I'm gonna say his shotgun's double barrel or it's an auto, it has some kind of like auto capability. There we go Piotr. 17 so basically he hits him for half the damage. Yep. Okay that is gonna be four damage.

[03:22:06] So Missile Cruck takes four damage, shoutsets and more French obscenities. But is otherwise still in the fight? Well still within the fight. Oh yeah I wanted to say for my move of action is there any cover around me?

[03:22:28] There are some logs and trees and like lots of pine trees and stuff. Okay so I probably tuck and roll behind the nearest one. Yeah. Okay so yeah it basically just, it's a ga. You do hear some sizzling because he's using the silver shot on this guy.

[03:22:50] But next up is Marceau. Okay so I'm within 60 feet. Yeah I'm gonna move into cover a little closer and I'm going to cast Secret Flame. She's gonna be a DC-14, deck save. Okay so we're gonna be reading the damage. Okay. DC-14 to stand it? Yeah.

[03:23:16] What's the, what does he have to roll? Decks. Decks 15. Damn. Right. Doesn't do anything? Doesn't do anything. Okay. Yep. Alright next up is that all you can do? I think so. Okay. Next up is gonna be Missile Cruck and he is going to, he sees that attempt.

[03:23:38] And he's going to try and hit you. Or shoot you. Good luck. It goes like no way over here. It's a two. I'm not, I'm gonna re-roll it. Oh shit. It's a 15 I think. That's a 12. Close enough. Turn that five around. That was a two.

[03:24:00] That is going to be 16. No. No. Okay. Yeah, yeah just both like, well it's just exploding around you but missing your, or shooting like everything in front of you with the cover and such. And I was like, ah man this is a crap.

[03:24:24] Should have thrown away in the thirties. How dare you? That's a classic sir. Jacob. He's still okay. Okay. So I'm invisible. Yep. I'm not near. I'm invisible, you can't see me. That's fine. So I am going to turn into a Peregrine Falcon. Okay. And I'm invisible.

[03:24:52] And I'm going to fly up because apparently the fly speed on the Peregrine Falcon is fucking insane. Well Peregrine Falcons are one of the fastest flyers. Yes. But they like. It's ridiculous. Hawks are like half the speed. Well, yeah. Where'd that go? I just had it.

[03:25:15] There it is. Oh crap. There it is. Okay. So that will have me fly up 130 feet. 130, wow. Yeah okay. Okay. 130 feet in the sky. 130 feet in the sky. You see the entire landscape of the coastline around Maristown. And probably see fortune from here. And that's it for me.

[03:25:51] Okay. That's all I'm doing this round. Okay. John. Okay. So has he been hit yet? He has not. Okay. There's been a lot of... Oh no, he did get shot. He did get shot. That took four damage. He took four damage from Peter's second shot. Yes.

[03:26:14] Peter now has to reload. Oh, I should have been rolling advantage because he's very fired. Oh, should be right here. I'm not sure about that. Should everyone? Yeah. Yes, yeah. Oh, damn it. I don't know how long it lasts. I forget. I haven't been on that.

[03:26:31] I haven't attacked yet, so... Either way, I'm going to attempt to get benefited with a fairy fire and try to actually shoot him for once. Okay. Uh, yeah. Hit him. Lucy's like, what are you doing? It's okay, I got this. Okay. That was a clatter inside. Sorry.

[03:26:57] Try to... It's something good for one minute. Okay. Which is ages in combat. Damn, man. Jesus. Some vehicles are trying to sleep here. 24 to hit him. Okay, that'll hit him. Cool. Okay. Which... Oh, man. Is he still in the fairy fire cube? Yeah, he is. Why?

[03:27:23] He'll be getting out of this soon. Does the cube just mark people and then they're marked or is it like... Is it an area? Like only... It targets the area. I just don't know if the...

[03:27:34] If the targets stay marked if they leave the area, like for the minute. Hmm. Or if it's just everything in that area is marked for the entire minute and if you leave it, you're unmarked. Aaron? Sorry? Fairy fire does the... No, they stay... It clings to them.

[03:27:52] It's like a glitter bomb. Okay, cool. All right. So, damn it. That's pretty damn good. Okay. Damn. Good spell. 15, 16, 17. So that's 17 damage? Damn. Oh, piercing damage with silver shot? I believe we said we were going to be using against him? Yes. Yes.

[03:28:23] Because I pop three shots and they're all real good. And then on hit, I will spend an anime dice. Sorry, how much was the damage? I should have said 14. No, that's more than... It says 10. 15. 15, okay. Yes. That's how math works. Okay, sorry.

[03:28:48] And then you're spending an anime...an anime die? Yes, because I hit, so... Four? Why are you rolling a d4 on your animal? That's what my anime... Oh no, you're up to a d6 now. Oh, this is now? Yep, I didn't check that.

[03:29:04] Yeah, I think it's that third or fourth level you upgrade. Cool. This is going to be lower than a four now. Yeah, watch it. Two. I don't care dude. Okay, so on hit, add that roll to first attack on it per round.

[03:29:22] So every time I hit it now I do an additional two damage. Okay, but not now? Like you don't take two right now? Including now. Including now I guess, yeah. Alright. Spending...spending an anime. God! Stop a mac! I only know three things Canadian slurs! Fair enough.

[03:29:45] Did you get Kores yet? What? Kores. No, no, no. I know Tabernac, I know Merib. There was another one now, I can't remember it. Suck it! Suck it! Yeah, that's a good one. I mean all their swears are just like religious names or words.

[03:30:06] Again Tabernac, Merid is just shit in French. Yup, but yes I'm done. Okay, it's my turn. Alright, the next up is Piotr. Piotr is going to fire... Oh no he's gonna try and get closer. Actually takes one more damage I just realized. Oh he does?

[03:30:32] One more damage from the ashes of Fallen City's Tiara thing. If I hit an injured enemy they take one bonus damage. Nice! Okay, so yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna say he spends... So Piotr spends a move-action to get within 30 feet of this guy. So basically like...

[03:30:53] Oh he's up 40 feet right? So yeah, he's gonna climb up a tree. Like walk up a tree, like spider glide. And try and shoot him again. Close that closer range. But he'll also be within... Definitely closer. He's just standing directly off a tree.

[03:31:10] Yeah, he's like his knees are bent. So he can like properly like see them but he's like holding on like this perfect. It's really weird. That's gonna be 14 which is not hit. God damn. Yeah so the buckshot goes wide. You think he vanged on that one? Fuck!

[03:31:33] What's the advantage? For the fairy fire. Oh right, you're gonna have to roll. What's the advantage? It was even worse. He's like God! They get some other shot, no? Okay so he has to reload. Oh, yeah now he has to reload. If it's a double barrel shotgun.

[03:31:52] Which I did say it was a double barrel shotgun. Okay. Yeah, he has to reload. Okay, so actually you know what I'm telling you. Yeah that's fine. Drill him over or whatever. Yeah. No he reloaded and then he fired that shot. Yeah. So...

[03:32:06] What's the other guy's make one? Next up is going to be Marcel. Okay. I'm gonna try this again. Let's see if he can roll shitty. So, secret flame. Okay, give me a second. Because I apparently had his HP next to yours. So you were slowly dying.

[03:32:28] We were shooting you unfortunately, so... That's what I've seen that rolled. I still can't hit this guy. Yeah. Okay. So top of the round. Krok is going to try and get out of... So the verifier, do we figure out it's a... It's a minute long.

[03:32:48] But it's an area? Or is it just a way that he's on? He's tagged. He's tagged? He's going to actually like leap down and try and just like tear at you. He's dropping the Thompson and just going into the melee. And he's going after Marcel. Thank God.

[03:33:13] Come get some. I can fly back to the car if you could hold it in one place. I can paint the area. Yeah, so he's just charging at you. So he's going to get down and do double damage on a church? Is that what a church is? No.

[03:33:35] Advantage... It gives you advantage on the attack roll. But then everybody has advantage against you the next time. Okay. Does the church not do any extra damage on it? I don't think so. It did in third edition.

[03:33:46] I gave you a plus two in attack and plus two to damage. But a minus two to your AC. Okay, why was he charging at you? That is going to be a 20. Just hits. Just hits? Okay. Hold on. What else is there? Stealth bonus. And no. Yep. It's...

[03:34:14] All right. He is slashing eight damage. Ooh. I know. I'm clawing at you. But does he get another attack or is it because he used the charge and he doesn't get another attack? Right? I believe the charge makes it a full attack action. All right.

[03:34:39] Yeah, he's starting to do that. And next up on the initiative is Jacob. Fantastic. Fantastic. Wrong game. But yes. All right. So I'm a peregrine falcon. Yep. I'm 130 feet in the air. You look down. And I'm going to dive bomb this son of a bitch.

[03:35:00] You see he's in melee with your companion. My dive bomb speed is 240 feet. Yep. You hit internal velocity. Yep. And I'm just... Yeah, yeah, I'm going to dive bomb. We were not talking about this earlier. Yeah. But I'm not doing that.

[03:35:16] You're not doing the pre-polls elbow of death? I am not doing the people's elbow of my death. I don't want to take 20-dive-six damage. Thank you. It's a peregrine falcon, not a Japanese falcon. Oh, and I get to do this at advantage. She roams at that advantage.

[03:35:49] Err, advantage. Okay, so I'm going to 14. Plus... Ehh. 14 plus 5. So 19 to hit. That will hit. Okay? Yeah. So... Yeah, we're going to stop these. So you're just like dive bombing him? Yeah, what are you doing? I'm dive bombing him. Okay. Okay, so... 6 and 3 is 9. Plus... 1 plus 3 is 4.

[03:36:42] And 9 is 13. So that's 13 damage from my initial attack. Okay? I'm also going to spend the anima die and mangle him. Nice. Which lets me make two additional attacks. Each with advantage. I just realized that I was not using the damage bonus from Hunter's Mark. I'm learning, I'm learning.

[03:37:10] That's 19 plus 3 is 22, so that's going to hit. So what was the first damage? The first one on the damage? 13. 13, thank you. So I was just like zoning out there for a second. And the second one... I rolled a 1 and a 20. Wow. Damn.

[03:37:34] So I get to double my dice for that one. So 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. 15 damage from my two talents. 15 damage? Yep. Okay, he's not like that owl. Okay, then I'm going to swoop off of him because I also have fly by and move 30 feet off and turn back into a people. Okay.

[03:38:11] He's like, ah, I'm also now visible. Yep. Now that he's kind of like, yeah, I'll put it to his part. So yeah, you do, that's what you do. Just like, ah, I'm a man. Man, that was actually fairly effective. Yeah. John.

[03:38:29] It took me three rounds of setup, but you got there. You're doing good as a kid. That was like 30, that was almost 30 points of damage. Yeah. You did more damage than I did by shooting him three times on the assault rifle. I was going pretty fast.

[03:38:47] Oh, I'm not, I'm just saying. Not so fast. Yeah, really. So yeah, um, John are up. Yes. So he's in the tree still. No, he's actually on the ground, um, attacking me, um, Marcel, but then just got attacked by a peregrine falcon that turned into Jacob.

[03:39:05] So he's currently flanked. Yeah. Okay. And Pierre and Piotr will probably be coming back down to the ground to also help flank. So this guy's just getting going to get canked.

[03:39:15] So I have an anime move I can do where I spend one and if I hit, I can move a teammate to a better position. How would that work in this situation?

[03:39:26] Would that be basically I would be like, how would I be, are they already in the best position they can so I can't put them in a better position? Pretty well, I think. What does that mean move into a better position?

[03:39:40] Basically you can force us to slide into a better position. As in flanking. Or if they're in the open subject to auto fire, you could move them into cover or. Yeah. No. Okay.

[03:39:56] If there are rogue, then you can put them into cover so that they can hide and then sneak attack again. Yeah. Or, or, or, or. Okay. So won't worry about that. But what I will do, so they're in melee right now, so me shooting in the

[03:40:13] melee is anything? Is that a problem? I don't think so in fifth bad. I don't remember. It might be a disadvantage. But you have advantage, which is good. But you have advantage. So it just makes it, so I just roll the same way I've been rolling the whole

[03:40:28] time because I haven't been rolling with advantage enough. Okay. Alternately, I could just cast magic. I do have magic. You do have magic. There's three I wrote down that I got from my secret archetype that didn't write down what they do. Acid arrow, Ravenfeebleman and Scorching Ray.

[03:40:47] I think I know what Scorching Ray does. But, acid arrow, Ravenfeebleman. I think infebleman is a speed based thing. Couldn't really tell you I've never cast this spell. Oh really? Acid arrow I think is 2-4 acid damage. Which would not necessarily be effective against them.

[03:41:09] Do you have my moss mana? Yes. I need that. Oh, assist. Somebody in the way, gentlemen of vulnerability. What? What? And that'll be under M for Melph's. Melph's acid arrow. Excuse me. Melph's acid arrow. Shimmering green arrow streaks toward the target within range and burst in a

[03:41:46] spray of acid. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit the target takes 4-4 acid damage immediately and 2-4 acid damage at the end of its next turn. On a miss the arrow splashes the target with acid for half as much of the

[03:42:00] initial damage and no damage on its next turn. Okay. Well, thank you but I won't worry about that. Is radiant damage handy against him? He's undead, fuck yeah. Usually radiant damage does an extra die 8. Can guiding bolt be cast at a higher tier? Fuck yeah, it can.

[03:42:23] Can it? It can. I believe you get one extra die for a... For a level. Yeah. Guiding bolts. Gee. That's a ranged attack so I'll have to roll for that. G-U-A. Guiding bolts at higher levels. At higher levels when you cast a spell using spell sloths,

[03:42:55] second or higher the damage increases by 1 die 6 for each slot above first. Okay. On a hit the target takes 4-6 radiant damage and the next attack roll made against the target for the end of your next turn has advantage

[03:43:11] thanks to the miss, cool dim light glowing on the target until then. He's already going but... Okay so it does not cause additional damage to undead it's probably not resistant to radiant because it's undead. Yeah.

[03:43:26] It may in fact even be vulnerable to it which could mean that it takes double damage. I guess we'll find out. So one extra dice. Alright I got it. Let's try the hit first I guess. Which um... Does the fairy fire make this advantage? Yeah.

[03:43:45] Okay I just didn't know if that counted. Yeah it sure did. If it was just physical attacks or not. Nope. I'm glad that... What does it... Or roll the advantage there. 21? 21? Yeah. Sorry. 21 will hit. Yes. Yes. 5-6 damage? Oh thank you sir. Fireball. It's something, fireball.

[03:44:26] Almost all of those are 2s. 2, 2, 2, 2, 6. How do you break math? Yeah yeah. So that's 13 radiant damage on him. 13? Yes. Appreciate it. It was cute. I do like that. Okay. He did not like that at all as he said, Ahhhh! It burns! Piotr actually like, Ugh! That's alright.

[03:44:56] Unfortunately he was up in the trees. So you see him like immediately turn, like shield himself behind a tree. Yeah. Like kicks in. He holds up his cape. Yeah. And next up is Piotr. So Piotr is going to just get down and with the shotgun.

[03:45:17] And just kind of get into position. That's what he's doing. I wonder how I cast through the gun without actually shooting a bullet at him, you know? Magic. Yes. Yeah, I suppose. It's like in the game. Like how were you able to like, Snape healing bullets at people?

[03:45:35] It just does it. Yeah. Without actually shooting the bullets. Yeah, literally he was using a sniper rifle to heal us. Yeah. So you were Anna. Before Anna. Pretty much, yeah. Um, so Marcel. Uh, I'm going to look at Piotr and go get down! I'm going to cast

[03:45:50] Heavenly Strike. Okay, yeah, he just He was good at like, he was holding his action. It was like, Alright, with the go. Fuck! Like he does behind the tree. I forgot the bonus damage on that again, but fuck it. Damn it. That's an 8. Roll the damage. Sure? Yeah. 9.

[03:46:10] It's my fault for forgetting it. So that's Fuck it sucks such balls. 2 from Hunter's Mark and 2 from Favoured. So that's a 4. Yeah. What'd you get? 15 to hit. That hits just. What? Really? Just. It's ridiculous. Alright. So it's just like right there.

[03:46:34] Dude, like you're like right in melee with this guy. Added advantage. Yeah. 12. 14. 18. 18 radiant damage. Damn, he is not liking that at all. And he's going to take me a constitution save or he is blinded. Constitution? Yup. That is going to be 14. Meats. So, Meats? That's gay.

[03:47:09] He's like, ah, he still doesn't, like he's not doing it. He's smoking. Like he is steaming and and crisp then. Hold on. Turn him like all this radiant damage you guys are putting on him. I think he can lose a thing. Does Hunter's Mark work with spells?

[03:47:24] I just realized. Yeah, it does. Does it? Okay. I'm pretty sure. You were doing anything else before you went to a trouble? Pretty sure. Anytime you make an attack roll. Yeah. But I will verify that. Yeah, I guess it is an attack roll.

[03:47:39] Yeah, so I'm going to hit the spell attack. Yeah. What? I have a thing when I hit with melee. Can he be poisoned? No. Okay, never mind him. Just forgot to continue. Okay. He, so the top of the round, it's it's Krok. Stop! Ow! Okay.

[03:48:08] I see you have gotten the best of me. Maybe we could come to some kind of arrangements. Dave. Weapon attacks only. He has two extra health. Who? Oh, he does, you have to. Yeah. Still? He's ready to fight on. Yeah, in that case.

[03:48:31] He's like, maybe we could come to some arrangement. We have funds or we have money we could give you. Surely more than these these these these whelps do. Will, whatever your worth I'm sure your bosses are going to be worth a lot more.

[03:49:00] You give me the rest of your organization and you get to walk away. He just like kind of looks at you like spits on the ground turns into a bat and sort of trying to fly away. Shoot him. You can try. Yeah, he's flying away as a bat.

[03:49:20] I'm turning into a pair of good falcon. Okay. And I'm chasing that fucker down. Yep. Well first off, yeah, I will allow since you guys were kind of like all around him. Oh, yeah. I'll get those. Try and get him. Can you do that off range weapons? Sorry.

[03:49:39] Can I I can do it? I can attack opportunity. No, no, no. The advantage on that. She's been doing everything right. Yes, he's yeah. He's also glowing now. He's a glowing bat like his outline of a glowing bat. 18 to hit that will hit. Okay.

[03:50:00] I put an amadeus on this. Yeah, you can. You can use your amadeus. You can enjoy the amadeus. What's his amadeus? I'm going to make it radiant again. With a three. Wait, do you roll all of your amadeus? Yes. How about you just roll one that you're spending?

[03:50:16] Yeah, I can roll up to three. I can spend up to three at nine. I should have learned the mechanics before I do this. He's been a heavy spender. Four, twelve. Oh, you choose how much you use. Yeah, depending on what abilities you have. 16 radiant damage. 16 radiant damage.

[03:50:30] Mine are all like that. Okay. So, funny thing that happens is he's not dead. He can't do that. But what happens is he turns into a bat, tries to fly away. A radiant hammer smacked, just does a smack down. He goes and turns back into a vampire humanoid.

[03:50:51] And just like down like a puddle 30 feet to my feet. Yeah, like tumbles and then So yeah, he's right in front of you basically. Oh, now it's his action? No, that was all his action because he used his action to try and stop you guys to talk

[03:51:18] when you guys weren't going to like he tried to take off a move and then when he got slapped. So, top next round the next person on the roster is Jacob. Because I think that would be unless he might have like does he have a chance to like

[03:51:33] try and get out of prone because right now he's prone. No, not unless he's got movement which he tried when he transformed but yeah, I think he's on a ground. Okay. Fantastic. So he's prone. He's not I don't know, is this one of those situations

[03:51:56] where it's an auto crit? You do know that He's not hopeless, right? No, he's not. He's just prone. Okay, okay. So not stunned or anything from your hammer? No, he's just like he tried to get away and he just got like radiant blood, like radiant slammed. Okay, well

[03:52:13] I will pull out my I guess I'll pull out my pistol and I'll shoot up. No. We won't take him alive. What? I want the rest of his organization. We do dare get him. I suggest you don't move. Give me a wisdom safe. Uh,

[03:52:47] as I point my pistol at his heart I will not move. Why is decision You have chosen chosen correctly. Is that? I think that's actually, I think you have chosen poorly. No, no, that's that's if you Oh, I know. You have chosen correctly. I think so.

[03:53:17] Fuck it, I don't remember. I have to see the scene again. The other side of it is so iconic that you forget the Yeah, he chose poorly. Unpoorly. Richly. I was just thinking that he chose richly. Well, you've chosen well. Yeah, you've chosen well. Maybe I don't know.

[03:53:37] Yeah, don't remember. Put the game on pause. Yeah. All right. Yeah. All right. Well, then I will just keep my my pistol trained straight on his heart if he twitches a muscle. I'm pulling the trigger and I will wait till Captain Hammer Smith

[03:53:53] comes and claps him in irons. Do we have monster restraints? Yeah, but you have handcuffs. But like, is that going to hold a vampire? Not the usual ones. I will say you guys do not have handcuffs for monster stuff because you usually kill the monsters. Oh, oh, oh.

[03:54:13] I have silver wire. You can just wire his hands together. Yeah, it is literally just silver wire. How do you have that? I mean, that's great, but how? Spell component. Need it for alarm. I thought we didn't need the spell component. I buy my material. Okay, fair enough.

[03:54:35] I like having. That's fair. He's also on megas, so it kind of is a kutrimon. Yeah, so you can put the normal handcuffs on him and then also the wire. Yeah, and then the wire room. And then maybe we'll put a nuisance. I do have rope. All right.

[03:54:55] Nylon or do you want him? Do I have to be on the strength check for that? No, it's he's fucked. He's like, oh, man. Were you restraining him? Yeah, and you have, so you're there in the court, just outside this house that still has

[03:55:14] lights on. So with that, basically you're in the front yard where all this fight went on. And he's like at this point, is there anyone in the building? You haven't checked? Is there anyone coming out? No. Okay. The island is quiet after your little conflict here.

[03:55:36] But yeah, you do you either have him sitting down in cuffs or he's standing in cuffs. I'm going to get his Thompson. Okay. So it's not there and we forget about it. It says a little seal on it. Mm-hmm. As it should. It paid, bro. I mean, Peter

[03:55:54] Peter's fine. Peter, the the, yeah. Did you tell the cops about that body in the woods? No. Good. I have a plan. I have a plan. So we're here to solve crime. There still has to be a public solving of the crime. Yeah, there are four

[03:56:18] people, five people from town who are four of which are not upstanding, but they are members of the community in some capacity. Dead. Oh. The money transfer? Was him getting ready to run? Oh, because he's He's came all along. He's came all along.

[03:56:43] I mean, yeah, we can make him disappear or just do it that way. Yeah? I was going to just turn into a bear leave a bunch of bear prints around his body. And then I would just put them up a little more

[03:56:55] and make it seem like a man. And then you guys could trank me and take me to a euthanization facility. This just sounds like too much convoluted bullshit. He was the deputy mayor. He was into sick shit. Yeah? We could plant some shit in his apartment.

[03:57:15] But my Swiss bank account. Mine's already there. Also, you guys were able to get inside the you have his shotgun. You have his shotgun. You can also go in and you have access to his apartment, or not his apartment, but his home. Where the cops

[03:57:35] just put crime scene tape on and stuff. We can go back in and plant evidence from their four murders. Yeah? Are you guys talking about this right now? You actually hear Mr. Kroc as like six murders. I'm sorry, what was that? He just kind of like

[03:57:59] side eyes the house. Oh really? Well there would have been witnesses if he didn't do it so there's some silver lining. But you're a dick as I point down to him. Fair. Fair. Alright. I'll go investigate the house. Do you go investigate the house? We're gonna have to.

[03:58:35] 30 bodies. I thought you said six. T. Yeah, you go inside. Six dozen. Anybody going inside? Still roll wisdom safe. I mean somebody has to stay here with this. I got him. Piotr is also there. I've got him. I've seen how many times you hit a shot guy.

[03:59:01] He looks at you, just taps the barrel directly at the guy's heart right on the chest. It's like can I miss now? Yes. I don't know. Have you ever played this game called XCOM? No. That's about how you shoot. Okay. I'm sorry, I don't play Atari.

[03:59:25] Sorry, this is a flat wisdom? Yeah, it's a wisdom safe. Oh, safe. Peter, you could win at a game of Russian roulette. I mean fair. Yes. So that's 22? 22? Yeah. So you are not... You're perturbed but it doesn't affect you. Because I'm expecting it.

[03:59:51] When you go in and you find that the house is nice instead of that. And there are two bodies. Their throat is slit and they're turned upside down.
