[00:04:20] introduce you that's fine now I don't have to say it that's me I'm that guy

[00:04:24] that he just said Dave I didn't have to say that but it said anyways I'm through darkness and occasionally you'll see specks of light that seem to be just coalescing mists. You hear a cacophony of strange sounds. And then Dorothea, you start hearing a very familiar sound. It's a sound that you used, like a town sign that says, RD. Oh, damn it. Should take that. ARDYH basically. Basically yeah. And you are just, there's just very very large, like very kind of large escarpment like hills off in the north end, just carpeted with pine

[00:08:23] trees. And then like south of you haven't rolled yet You can see pine trees

[00:10:46] By the way, there's no way I'd know. Yeah, yeah, you really would know like because yeah this the same Kentucky

[00:10:53] Lord in the ground as I walk therefore this is he didn't land

[00:10:59] Yeah, and like you're hearing the ocean like you're hearing like large waves crashing against the against the rocks I have never seen the ocean. Well, I had to if I went to London. Yeah, you guys

[00:11:04] Yeah, you saw you saw it on the you saw it on the your trip across the pond. So

[00:12:07] that kind of style like you think you may be in Newfoundland this looks it's definitely got the vibes of the of a of a fishing village in Newfoundland and

[00:12:13] like you know there are like hundreds of little of tiny fishing villages that

[00:12:18] dot the rock so or Tae what you happen to know where we are I mean it looks gentleman over here excuse me sir he kind of as you walk over to him he like kind of jumps a little bit as like as you say so I was like huh yes yes so mayuz yeah mr. weird okay um the months you say I yes sure has like months I'll say that oh really he's like stare like Giving like a very peculiar stare to both of you, but you recognize someone You recognize that stare in a way because it's something that you often do when you're when you get a weird that that weird vibe in the back of your mind Of something magical or something peculiar or supernatural is is in front of your eyes

[00:16:25] He appears to have the set the the sixth site

[00:17:24] gestures over to uh to uh yohan to touch it as well he just kind of lightly sighs and does it uh the man like noticeably

[00:17:32] like relaxes inside so it's like oh this is good

[00:17:37] um so you you have the the ability you you have the sight

[00:17:42] you have you have power behind you have power

[00:17:46] when when did you have power have you're either free. Maybe you're new to this, I guess. How long have you had your abilities? You specifically, Dorothea, you are thrumming with magic, with power. Just like a week or so, maybe, quite recent.

[00:19:04] Ah.

[00:19:05] All right. a couple of hiccups with your with your in with your nursing that guy with your nurses I don't think you ever named the guy. Yeah, I can't remember I can look it up later But yeah, like so you can see if we ever did give that guy name But I don't think you ever gave your your nurse a name or your assistant

[00:20:23] This I'll call him stom

[00:21:30] or of sorts in the back rooms, in the store rooms, where I use the building as sort of a hub for

[00:23:00] society operations in Newfoundland. Basically, that's what the report said, is that the family members have tried to contact people in the town about their family members who live in the town and those people have no recollection of those people.

[00:23:01] Are you sure the information you got to tell you to come here is actually real? and I haven't heard back from him within about a week now. We're exactly easier. Is this Newfoundland? Yes, we're in Newfoundland. We're near the Twilling Gate. For the non-Newfies in the world in this and the people without any knowledge outside of the game, Twilling Gate is in...

[00:24:22] I can actually show you a map of where Twilling Gate is,

[00:25:32] And yeah, as you would also know this, Dortea, your tooling gate, like, as Alberto kind of exclaims, you guys are in a town on one of the various strips of land that are poking

[00:26:48] Are these people? I'm sorry. I was slightly distracted by the unusual amount of pine trees that got this landscape. Are R.D. missing these people?

[00:26:54] Yes. R.D. is the... there appeared to be... well, the people I've talked to

[00:27:03] do not recall the people who are missing according to into the church? Uh, sure. Yes. Blow a door off handle. I'm just joking. Whoa. Like just, just like from the waist. You hear that red, like your dead eye vision.

[00:29:41] Yohan's just going like, like, like's windows well, uh, my knife is too big I can't fit it in the Gym like well, this door apparently is impassable. Sir. Uh, i'm sorry that our our ventures have been futile Uh Looks to dortere. It's like uh

[00:29:44] Did you what do you have uh, do you want to try or should we just try and like bolt?

[00:30:45] What about you there you hunter no, oh, I mean I'm ruined. I always say yes

[00:30:48] We can just have a dorte to it

[00:30:52] Since you got three there The dorte you look you look through the windows. It's dark in there like you see

[00:30:56] Light pouring in from the other windows on the other side of the room, but you just see like light pouring down on empty pews

[00:31:04] and

[00:31:06] An empty altar and so with that okay Well, I'll tell you others. I don't see any anyone in there Although looks like one of the back doors may have been tampered with is there a back door on the outside of this building here Uh, yeah, there might be um, yeah Yes, yes, let's let's just go through the cemetery here on the side of the building and then go to the

[00:32:24] the back the back area where the

[00:32:27] priest lived Okay, I wrote an extradite it didn't help damn it Yeah, um Say you guys are walking through the cemetery like this little it's a very small cemetery. It's like it's barely like a dozen

[00:33:42] Stone like stone like tombstones or even like just like wooden crosses

[00:34:42] And and he's on the ground

[00:34:45] Like he sprawled out on the ground on the gravel ingress

[00:34:53] Is your friend what happened he is there a branch that I said

[00:34:59] You look around there's

[00:35:00] yeah, you guys are following the little like gravel grass trail between the cemetery and the

[00:36:01] Yeah. Is he like conscious?

[00:36:03] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:36:06] Johan, you are conscious.

[00:36:07] Like you're just like, you might, you might have been in shock or something like that

[00:36:09] from suddenly like you don't, you don't remember falling or getting tripped up by anything.

[00:36:15] You just suddenly you were, you were walking behind your cousin and now you, then you were

[00:36:20] lying on the ground with your face hurting because too like there's nothing outlandishly big or even like jutting out that somebody could have tripped over or like something loose and large that's like somebody like threw at him. Well for the time being just be careful. I'll actually take the sword off of my belt and just hand him like going from the the the main like part of the church back into his like offices and living area and then like he can get out and go and go around the Around the corner of the church and such so and No, it's fine It is shut. Yep, and you you test it and

[00:40:05] It's a fallback, fallback, fallback, we're sitting around. Yeah.

[00:40:06] Berto just like gives Dorotea the side eye.

[00:40:12] He's normally not like this, honestly.

[00:40:14] Can't pick him back up again.

[00:40:17] Is this a...

[00:40:18] I am 0 for 3, guys.

[00:40:21] Let's keep the tally going.

[00:40:23] Yeah.

[00:40:24] I think at this point, Adam, I almost want you to start one for a shield bash. Stop rolling ones. Or one, one, one. OK. Oh, I do believe it's as doors impassable.

[00:41:43] Two sixes after that.

[00:41:45] Am I? Yeah.

[00:41:47] I'm going to build the door to main church because I'm curious what was like, written

[00:43:03] on that why would someone it's carbon something so damn cryptic all right amongst the room like No one's really been in here for a few days at least Okay well, I'll go back into the the back room and Regale them with this information that no one's been here for a few days and it is and isn't I am going to pull out the Sun rod and

[00:45:44] confuse the I'm trying to see what should have you roll for this. I would like to also go on record with you, Chris, to say that I had picked up the nine lives ability from the general talents. When rolling a critical injury, you may decide which dies represents the one spot and which one represents the 10. Okay.

[00:47:01] Yeah, so this would be an investigation for you guys wanna like look around the room.

[00:47:08] Okay. Sorry, you're looking at the altar, right? Yeah. Sorry. Probably we could be a general room. Yeah, that's kind of it. Yeah, you check the altar and it just has like, it looks like it has basically like some sermons written down on parchment and such. You do, as you're skimming through it, actually, you do see that there's one of the pages near the top,

[00:48:24] like just under one of the spots,

[00:49:22] me.

[00:49:31] Hmm. So it seems like this priest was not having a good day or not having a good time of late. I do believe this minister is experiencing a crisis of

[00:49:36] faith and some dear thing is doing this to again. Okay, so someone in this town knows what happened anymore? I He shouldn't be says Alberto. I talked I had a correspondence with him about three days ago Now that was through a letter so like you haven't spoken to anyone in town Since you've arrived I I just I just came in I literally just came in from from Fortune Harbor like I was I

[00:53:24] Yes, yes, war networks, yes. So you guys have seen them.

[00:53:29] So is that how you got here? You used his Full Metal Spale chambers?

[00:53:38] It's more involuntary if I wanted to do so.

[00:53:43] I co-op with me to town, that picks up a tool I hope this row sucks so much, but oh, I got one success. Mute. One success? Yeah, I know. I'm just avoiding it myself as well. Okay. You guys, as you're walking, like, it's just, it's a very short trip, uh, this poor thing looks like it's just nothing but skin and bones. It sees you guys and tries to like weekly like head towards you, but it's just, it's very, it looks like it's about to like collapse. I do believe that this animals in distress, Dortea, uh, so you're going to the into the into the start store. Okay myself You're with me no, yeah you you you go to open the door and it does it opens And there's the bell rings and you are immediately

[00:57:46] Assaulted by a

[00:58:46] no he had no he had not he had okay he just got into town I soared on him to be perfectly honest because yeah all of his all of his court all the

[00:58:52] correspondence and some of that had been like like through like mail or like

[00:58:57] mail from the other back saying who the fuck is that and then yeah yeah exactly Yeah, investigation when you're searching now. I was searching a room. I really hope I don't get a gun because that would just suck so bad if I got a gun. Yeah, I mean, apparently, I pulled up nothing but no success. We're back on the losing shirt. We're back on

[01:00:20] track, boys. Yeah, no, you look around and you're not able to find right? Roll a observation plus empathy. We're going to be a medicine roll. Unless this is for something else.

[01:01:42] Just give me one, please. Or not.

[01:01:43] Zero hits.

[01:01:48] OK. Did you go inside? Okay. Uh, so, uh, Johan Dorotea comes walking in. Um, uh, Dorotea, how's that horse out there doing? I found some oats for it. To Dorotea. I was talking about it. Uh, sorry. I was a hand these instruments to all three people. Maybe you have pull out my knife and we'll point on a pencil or something that go. All right look I fail I did not remember how I fail. You all were out there going to check the health of the horse that you holding onto that horse or keeping that horse there. So, Dorothea, let's just say, don't go look at that right now. Let's write down everything that we know. And I'm just going to write down everything that I know. And it's on a sheet of

[01:05:44] paper. Tuck it in my front pocket and forget about it later. And you will negate everything I did not forget that either, I just have a poor moment. I'm gonna let either of you guys, what's the coloration such as the cat? There you go. It's a tappy cat obviously. Okay. It's mare butters Chris. Is he orange or gray or?

[01:07:00] Yeah.

[01:07:01] What color are butters?

[01:07:02] I'm leaving after you guys.

[01:07:05] You can imagine it as a different color. Let me check Chris. I'm interrupting you because I'm going to reach under the counter like above it like we're gun would because I person with an odd request so I'll take odd yeah you go and check the the top there and you don't find anything son of a bitch well

[01:09:42] I mean you could maybe like like guys are in a fishing village so like maybe Stick no, it's not choppa. It's a little outdated a little a little anachronistic for 19th century It's Well, unfortunately 19th century Canada or actually not even not you guys aren't even Canada yet like 19th century, Newfoundland Does not have very very tight gun laws

[01:12:08] bit along the like uh near the the end of the rope. It also looks like that rope snapped rather than

[01:12:11] uh was was like cut.

[01:12:14] Right damn.

[01:12:22] Uh and uh you do see um like looking at the tracks and some of that you do see like there's a lot of like really well-worn old hoof prints and then there was a bit of a frantic

[01:13:22] To make medicine and marksman is plus two range combat

[01:13:25] marksman

[01:13:30] Okay, so which one do you have there?

[01:13:37] I would be bit ones so plus two two vigilance. Yeah, but you have the bloodhound talent cuz you only have

[01:13:40] Well, I had the class so I do have the blood I

[01:13:44] Thought I thought you get to choose like one of those talents at the beginning But you might have also bought some of those talents. It's been I may not have because it's like, yeah. That's fine. Shit, Chris, I succeeded. Damn it. OK. I got one success. Roll of fear? There's three of us. So that would be like, I think it would be like four dice for Paul Vass?

[01:15:02] Or three?

[01:15:03] It's three, yeah.

[01:15:04] It's you, everybody in the kicking it so what sorry what there's nothing to fight there something just picked up a jack a horse and left with it and it apparently did not do too well for the horse. And tied it to each other but the rope clearly did nothing for the horse so I don't think it would do is in the real world. Also, this isn't just the real world. I know there's been a weird site because that's how I got broke into this. Like, you're at least a piece of shit. Yeah, you know what to say, yeah.

[01:19:01] Yeah.

[01:20:20] And you're, you're not, roll like a inspah an inspired

[01:20:24] Best to try and calm him down. Yeah inspiration to calm him down

[01:21:40] When David's gone we're just Johan? I'm making it worse. Because your cousin is trying to calm you down and it's like, it's not helping your calm. She's making it worse. Her expression, she doesn't believe you. Like, you're getting that kind of like, it's hurting your calm even more. Can I offer a counter suggestion?

[01:21:46] I suppose, wait.

[01:23:01] Yeah, the hot thing.

[01:23:03] The chimney. Yeah, the forge.

[01:23:04] Yeah, you see that there is smoke coming from the forge and such. Um, roll observation plus empathy. Sorry. Yeah. Roll observation. I hope I did not succeed this way. That's one success. Fuck. That's two successes. Jesus Christ. I'm horrible. Two successes. Damn it.

[01:24:20] I hate winning.

[01:24:21] Okay.

[01:24:22] Um, so you don't go blasting.

[01:24:26] Uh, the, the guys like allowed that now we've met the contractual obligation of fight we'll floor down Sarah sorry I don't know if you happen to know this but

[01:25:41] you're living in a ghost town right six. And I was going to have to look for that. I got a single success. Okay. Um, so yeah, the, the man is just like, I, well, I make it make tackle and such.

[01:27:04] For bill.

[01:28:06] hands and like blacksmith hands. There is a clear, very well-defined white spot, or like white mark where a ring was.

[01:28:09] Sir.

[01:28:10] Yes?

[01:28:11] What I am telling you is that things are not as they are not what they appear. Look at your

[01:28:20] hand. You used to have a wedding band until very recently, sir. You did not mention that

[01:28:27] you had. Yeah. No. It's the you can definitely see like a lot of paint on this man's face from that. But yeah. And Dave, I jump in if you have something to add on this.

[01:29:45] I'm just kind of I feel empty space when this face is present. The fact that that's sorry, no, no, it's fine. No, no, I keep I keep saying the the the the the trade as well or the Yeah And we're saying that he should know the number by now because it's rolling Yeah, I wrote I

[01:31:01] Suck so bad curse. I wrote three successes. Fuck me. Yeah, man. That sucks. Yeah

[01:31:07] What did you uh, did I hear me? Fuck. Thank god I only got, okay, I do not see that. God damn it, I got one success. Fuck. Damn it. Okay. You're, where you were, like, you're looking around, and there's a mirror on the wall,

[01:32:22] or like, on one of the walls,

[01:32:24] that's kind of pale white.

[01:33:40] I didn't get a good look. I caught it in the mirror.

[01:34:41] teeth.

[01:34:44] Wait, what does the the letter

[01:34:47] or the the the note on the piece of paper?

[01:34:52] The piece of paper that he wrote, he remembered. Yeah.

[01:34:58] Huh.

[01:35:01] I show it and I'll update it with I don't remember that.

[01:35:05] Yeah.

[01:36:02] You're about to be struck by a vehicle! Yeah.

[01:36:04] All I can say was...

[01:36:06] Yeah, so your cousin is now on the ground fainted.

[01:36:11] Alberto is missing.

[01:36:13] There's a bawling blacksmith on the floor, like sitting down on the floor,

[01:36:19] being berated by a very hungry cat.

[01:36:24] Did the mirror break?

[01:36:26] The mirror did not break. a shanty like what would you do with a drunken sailor what would you do with a drunken sailor like it like on and on like it's just kind of somebody is just singing like outside somewhere outside outside of this shop okay well the first

[01:37:41] thing I'm wanting to do is make sure that everyone is in line of sight of All right, gotta keep everything gotta keep everybody In in in focus. I gotta keep me and my cousin in focus Me and my cousin in focus and the cat and the cat. Okay, so carry the cat Yes Why am I in this? Wait, why am I in this? Like we need to get out of this this blacksmith?

[01:39:01] This place is like empty. It's like there's nobody here. Okay. No

[01:39:05] Okay, so and yeah attempt to pick up I can't pull bullshit. So I'm gonna reroll that into miss so I did not gotta hope it just Never I'll keep my mouth shut. I'm not gonna do this It's fun. I miss so see okay So you you're like you're like slapping him in the face like like wake up. Come on, buddy. Wake up slap slap

[01:40:20] You you start pulling him outside because like you didn't remember that like the the water trough like the horse trough by this blacksmith

[01:41:24] close to it just splash him in the face a little bit. Don't dunk him. Okay, fair. That's fair. Well, I was gonna say also you do remember that there was a full trough of water, like a horse trough

[01:41:30] outside this store that had water in it. Okay, then I'll go and do that. Okay, you walk through

[01:41:35] the swinging door, like the door, the door was swinging before you went through it. Cat in one

[01:41:41] hand. Yeah. Holding him up on my shoulder with you lord Um Yeah, I got one feel so hard god dang it why can't you roll? So while you're for that moment that you're under under the water there and you're like kind of finally coming to

[01:43:04] You hear this like muffled sound. Somebody's singing a shanty. But yeah.

[01:44:20] Cousin.

[01:44:21] Welcome back.

[01:44:22] Thank you.

[01:44:23] At this point, I'm not even going to acknowledge much. Six six and then three misses but three hits Three hits. Okay, you're you're not perturbed. But why the fuck did you write large corpse head? grabbed blacksmith Weird I don't know right. I don't remember doing these things

[01:45:43] Here's the thing here's the thing cousin I

[01:46:41] But he's adorable.

[01:46:43] That's it.

[01:46:45] But this is a dog podcast. They're catching up plot armor.

[01:46:46] I had to do the choir.

[01:46:50] How dare you take my helmet off and put it on the cat.

[01:46:55] But yeah, so in Dave and I want to say I'm just like kind of going with I can't

[01:46:59] hear it, but I can hear it.

[01:47:01] And then with everybody, it just keeps like, yeah.

[01:47:05] So that's my logic in this.

[01:48:07] this road, Flurry Bite Road, will take you to a place called Moore's Cove. So like, yeah, leave town.

[01:48:08] I'm good.

[01:48:09] Okay.

[01:48:10] I've got a wife or I will make her an honest woman. One day I swear to God I will, but

[01:48:16] I have a werewolf woman and a werewolf son that I want to get back to.

[01:48:21] Yeah, I don't want to be here anymore.

[01:48:24] So guy and kind of kick his foot a little bit to get his attention. He like looks over to you and as he turns you see that he's got wax in his ear as well and but he just kind of gives you a kind of like a very like a big wide like goofy smile. I was like well hey there how's it going don't I was also trying to I'm trying to go for like fishermen, but just apparently goes prospector God we have a crazy Carl now. Yeah, we always do yeah

[01:51:03] Well, I think you'll be safe here on the's like some kind of monster that sings. You don't hear the song though, but hours away from my foot and it's eating all the horses. It's eating everything. We got, uh... Hmm.

[01:53:40] Is Todd still around? Or did it get Todd?

[01:53:44] You can see the blacksmith.

[01:53:46] Yeah, it got Todd. just a knowledge like of this guy's behavior and such. Nope. I'm too paranoid with what's going on. Yeah, it's guys a crazy drunk like like, I mean, obviously he's seen something but like

[01:55:04] man that like that's a lot of bottles of screech.
