I mean, Hale and I had like a plan if you tried to attack no
0:02
one, but they're. I'm just, I'm just glad I was
0:05
able to get Ichi's coin instead of it being thrown out the
0:08
window. Yes, that was big.
0:10
That was really big. Oh.
0:12
Shit. Which, Speaking of, I should
0:13
probably get Dyson shit ready. Oh yeah, and open my character
0:16
sheet. I don't have any.
0:17
Oh my laughs and loot dice came. I can't wait to use them
0:22
tonight. Hopefully they're going to roll
0:24
poorly for you guys. It's a pretty decent die.
0:30
I have 11 out and that is. 11. Just enough. 11.
0:38
Well, yeah, you guys are actually going to find something
0:42
terrible. Oh no.
0:45
Ladies, gentlemen, and those of us who know better, let me get
0:52
you back up to speed myself. No one as well as the boys had a
1:01
little chat on the train. Arthur got to talk to Clarice,
1:05
which was a good time for some of us and less so for others.
1:14
Well, did she learn something then?
1:17
We all learn something about Olevander.
1:20
Yeah. Yeah, that was a good time, too.
1:23
Last I saw him, he was still curled up in the fetal position.
1:29
And I've had to remind Slick that I'm not the I'm not against
1:33
the boys, I'm not on the team neither, but I am rooting for
1:39
them. I do like where this is going
1:42
and I can't wait to see more, especially whatever Slick has
1:47
been hiding. I know there's something and I
1:49
just can't quite reveal it yet. What I can reveal is the
1:58
numerous dead passengers with bullets from Itchy's gun and a
2:03
lot of witnesses. Let's see how they get out.
2:06
Of this one, the Multiverse Collective.
2:23
Who wants to talk about what's going on with them first?
2:26
I feel like we should start with Arthur.
2:28
Yeah. OK, let's go.
2:32
All right, so Arthur, you are in this engine car.
2:35
The Thrall has told you that he cannot start the train again,
2:39
and you have just come to the realization that he is, in fact,
2:41
a Thrall. OK, Can I?
2:46
All right, so we know thralls are just like broken records.
2:50
So no matter what I'm saying, I can't do it.
2:53
I can't do it. Yeah, I'm going to kind of punch
2:56
him to knock him out and then just attempt to start.
3:01
Yeah, you totally. Can I want a full on decade?
3:07
OK, 100% swing on him for me. Oh good.
3:10
Use your fisticuffs. Start off with a roll and this
3:13
is like an older looking gentleman.
3:15
He's not not particularly strong but not particularly frail.
3:18
He has a very manual labour focused job so.
3:23
I might actually have enough dice there for once. 123 fives.
3:31
3 successes. Absolutely magnificent.
3:33
So with three successes, what does it look like when you knock
3:36
this guy's light out? Lights out.
3:38
I think you see Arthur, he's still looking very like angry
3:43
from everything that's going on. He's obviously covered in blood
3:45
and I think he just like grips him by like the scruff of his
3:48
shirt and then just blaze one straight into like his chin and
3:53
just drops him on the floor. 100% and as as you make contact
3:59
with him, you feel like this little extra spark kind of
4:05
shiver up your arm from where your knuckles touch his flesh.
4:09
It's not you know, it's not crazy or anything, but it's a
4:12
new sensation for you. It's a.
4:14
Really good connection, that's all it works.
4:17
Yeah, I don't need to inspect that any further.
4:20
And then I'm going to turn around and then look at this
4:23
fucking train engine, something that Arthur's probably never
4:26
seen before, and I'm just going to fucking send it and try and
4:30
turn, turn it on so we start moving again.
4:34
The irony of men like not being the ones at the engine is
4:36
hilarious. Yes, my little train boys.
4:41
I'm the only one that you did that on purpose.
4:45
True, true, true. To be fair, it's like landing a
4:49
plane. I would not be able to actually
4:51
start a real steam engine unless it was like already ready to go
4:54
and all you needed in it was it was go like but.
4:57
And so it's still got to be hot, right?
5:00
It's definitely still hot, but this is not something that
5:04
Arthur's ever seen before. This is they are levers.
5:07
There are like the little, like, push buttons.
5:11
So not like an actual button, but like it's a button that's on
5:14
a rod, Yeah. Do you want to play a game with
5:17
this rye? I can.
5:18
I can make this a game for you. Let's play a game.
5:21
I in the general chat, I'm going to send the picture that I took
5:25
of the big boy's cockpit back when I was in and Niall will
5:30
have to explain how, he said. Oh my God.
5:33
Yes, 100. Percent.
5:35
I need to find a picture to go. And grab my glosses 'cause I
5:38
will not be. Able to see this picture.
5:41
That's fine. It's going to take me a minute.
5:43
Oh, here we go in the episode. OK.
5:46
In the in the episode, chat wants.
5:48
This. There you go.
5:49
Good fucking luck. Oh my God, I'm so excited.
5:53
Yep, there we go. Oh, valves too.
5:58
Oh, I. Learned mine.
6:00
This is the biggest Steven Jean in the world.
6:02
And no. There's a lot more going on with
6:05
that. OK, so many valves, no labels.
6:11
But that's your advantage. That is looking at the driver's
6:14
seat. So the driver's seat is there so
6:16
you can see. Everything does it?
6:17
Does this have like do not open the cab windows written on it in
6:20
this train as well? No, no, no, no, it would.
6:23
Be no, the windows are already open actually because it is hot
6:27
as fog in here. OK, let let me use my logic
6:46
here. Right?
6:47
So this you can't see what I'm pointing at, but the leather on
6:51
the top. We're going to have to put this
6:52
in like the like a Patreon post. No, I mean, I think we just put
6:57
the picture in in the episode, yeah.
7:01
So the leather on the top, not the How am I supposed to explain
7:06
this about showing you guys? Let's see, can I share screen?
7:15
Yeah. All right, let's go.
7:17
So this lover here I'm assuming? It's your cursor.
7:22
Oh fuck's sake, there we go. All right, it's happening now.
7:26
So this lover here. So happening.
7:29
Next to the window like here, that's got to be like the
7:34
forward and backwards and brakes.
7:36
One of the the top I'm assuming is the the Cutler.
7:40
This one here is your horn. This one here is your finger.
7:45
What's it called? What's the brake called?
7:48
The brake. No, there's a different type of
7:50
brake. There's the.
7:53
Air brake. Yeah, air brake.
7:55
That's the one. Oh, God.
7:56
Hello, Matt. Sorry I'm all I see is the
7:59
screen in matte so like I'm trying to figure out.
8:01
Where you're pointing. Why didn't you show me Kit?
8:04
So that's odd. You should download one of those
8:08
fun cursor apps that definitely aren't just viruses.
8:11
I could. I could do this and so much
8:13
better way. Give me one second.
8:15
Get a laser. You have a tablet.
8:17
I do have a all. Right.
8:20
Oh hey, I see your cursor. Oh yeah, there's your cursor.
8:24
Oh, oh, hello. Yeah, there it.
8:25
Is there we go all. Right, this is this is you
8:28
forward some backwards shit, right?
8:31
This is your arm. This is clearly your default
8:33
because it shows it there on the picture.
8:35
This has got to be air brick. I'm assuming all this one here.
8:41
I like how you think that's a decoupler.
8:43
If you zoom in on it, it's clearly not.
8:46
I'm not zooming in. OK.
8:47
Oh, that looks like a squirrel and an artillery coming from
8:50
this angle now. Yeah.
8:53
Yep. This.
8:55
OK, so this is the horn here. It's like normally.
8:59
OK, yeah, I'll give you that. That, that is, that is the horn.
9:02
Why would you do this to me at 11:45 at night, Kyle?
9:07
Because that's the most fun time to play a game like this one.
9:11
What? What are you going to push?
9:12
What are you going to pull? What's Arthur doing?
9:15
Just streamline it. I've got to get in the mind.
9:18
Of our channel channel the movie polar Express there's very good
9:23
shows very good like how they. Do you know how long it's been
9:26
since I've seen The Polar Express?
9:28
What do you? Mean having to watch Polar
9:30
Express as a. I have an 8 year old who loves
9:34
the movie. OK.
9:35
So I'm going to push this one forward and then I'm going to
9:40
attempt to release this one here because it's sort of like it's
9:43
going to be like the air break and then, OK.
9:46
That is, that is the air break. And then just for fun, I'm going
9:48
to pull the horn because who the fuck doesn't want to pull the
9:50
horn? Oh see, that's an interesting
9:54
move. There's one more thing you got
9:57
to do. You're right.
9:59
So far you have it in forward and the break is released.
10:02
I've. All got to put the steam through
10:05
right? Oh, it's been so long since I've
10:07
done anything with trains. It's none of these.
10:13
These are all for show you. Have to use the.
10:14
Squirrel Artillery Show. Yes, that's all for show.
10:20
I'm going to maybe release this one.
10:24
I can't really see much else. Oh no, maybe this one.
10:28
No, okay, so if you go just there's a lever just to the if
10:32
you go back up to the the the knot, the coupler, go left a
10:35
little bit, keep going, keep going, keep that right there.
10:38
How? Nope, Nope, back get back.
10:40
There you go that lever right there.
10:42
Yep, that's your throttle. That's when I said I was going
10:45
to push forward when it was the horn, so I've accidentally.
10:47
I thought the lover was blowing. I I was.
10:49
I was like pushed. On the roof.
10:51
Oh yeah, I I was 100% thinking it was this, so I pushed the
10:54
throttle forward thinking it was the horn.
10:57
Well, there you go. What happened?
11:01
When? I I, I, I think that I think
11:04
that's a success in life. I just.
11:06
Idioted my way into starting the train.
11:09
Yeah. Yeah, when the train starts to
11:25
move forward, it lurches a little bit at 1st and you can't
11:30
quite like. It should be working, Arthur, it
11:33
really it should be working. You did an incredible job and
11:38
the man who actually knows how to operate this train is laid
11:40
out on the floor. There's no one to stop you in
11:42
this moment and nobody's coming to you in this moment.
11:45
Now everybody in the back of the train, you'll feel the lurch and
11:48
it like grinds again really hard and it lurches again and it's
11:51
almost like there's something at the front that it's like trying
11:54
to get over. That's some some sort of force
12:00
outside of the train. It's.
12:02
Unfortunate we hit the invisible wall.
12:05
We're at the end of the mop, boys.
12:07
And as you lay on the horn like you said that you wanted to, you
12:12
hear the coyotes outside again, and they are so fucking close to
12:18
the window that you're at. Slick.
12:21
Oh, that I'm at. Oh.
12:23
Yeah, but Arthur, you hear them? They're running up the side of
12:27
the train. I mean, full speed.
12:28
This is this is not the speed that a coyote would move.
12:32
And do you look like them slick or are you just like business as
12:38
usual because you're like trying to change?
12:39
I I say if I if I have a second, but I'm I'm trying to do a quick
12:43
change right now. Yeah, absolutely.
12:45
I'm just I'm just curious if you would love.
12:47
So if I might catch like a glimpse out the window but I'm
12:50
not actively looking. OK, they're going to continue
12:54
off the side of the train. It's doesn't take long before
12:57
they're outside of the window that you're at Arthur, and
13:00
they're yipping and howling and they sound like they're fighting
13:04
over scraps of food can. I look at them with this side.
13:09
Yeah, absolutely. Horrify me, right?
13:13
Horrify me. These are, I mean, they're just
13:19
skin and bones. When you look at them, they're
13:21
mangy. The hair is mostly gone.
13:25
It's rotted away. The skulls are mostly exposed.
13:30
They're a little bigger than coyotes should be, and they
13:33
glow. They don't look like demons, but
13:36
they're the. Hell hounds.
13:39
Not. Not quite like a Vander is.
13:44
Oh great, we're. Playing with fucking wendigos.
13:48
And Arthur, as you look out the window, one of them does stand
13:52
up on its back legs and looks directly at you.
13:55
Oh shit. Yup.
13:57
Hey, I'm glad I'm not in the engine.
14:02
Let me get my and. The train lurches a little bit
14:05
more, it lurches a little bit more.
14:07
It's like it's pushing through what this barrier is like.
14:11
Whatever's on the tracks are in the way, is giving with the
14:15
force of this powerful engine. And the coyote on its back legs
14:21
tilts its head, and it looks at you, and it opens its mouth.
14:27
I'm going to dunk, just drop. Hit the dirt, you're an awfully
14:36
long way from. Home.
14:38
Why? Can you talk?
14:41
I'm sorry. All right.
14:43
I was. I was going to.
14:45
I like close. That you scared.
14:49
You scared the English out of him.
14:50
Yeah, you scared the grid out of his voice.
14:57
What? Why are you talking?
15:01
Someone's looking for you. Son, there's a lot of people
15:06
looking for me. And he tilts his head to the
15:10
other side like a dog trying to get a treat.
15:13
Yeah, there are. How how about the train lurches
15:18
again, Just. Fuck, how?
15:23
How about a peace offering? I'll give you this laid out
15:26
human right here if you just let me go back inside.
15:33
Yeah, let me see what I want you to roll for that.
15:36
Roll A roll a persuasion of rhetoric tech.
15:40
Use your smarts. Rhetoric.
15:43
Some rhetoric I've. Got nothing.
15:45
Oh shit, here we go again boys. Could he make an argument for
15:53
Horan? No, not this time, boys.
15:58
Yeah, that must, that might, might be the first snake as I
16:02
rolled in in Wild Wild West. Holy shit.
16:08
And with that, this hell hound launches itself through the
16:13
window of the train car. Ichi, what's up with you?
16:29
I think Ichi. So last I remember, Ichi was
16:33
crying over Evander. I think at this point he's just
16:40
like, I don't know. I, I think at this point he's
16:43
probably put on Slick's clothes and I think he's like clambered
16:49
out and I think he's just in the like in the first class car,
16:54
just trying to like get his bearings and like hold himself
16:58
steady as this train is just like continuing to lurch.
17:03
Lurching repeatedly. Yeah.
17:06
And it's just, it's such like a hard start and stop.
17:09
It's like I don't quite know how to describe it.
17:12
Slick, are you still? Is Slick still in the same car
17:15
as me? Same car, a different room.
17:17
We all had our own rooms. OK, so I guess Ichi's just kind
17:20
of like in the. Hallway.
17:24
Are you still in your room? No, I think Ichi's like walked
17:27
out to the hallway and I think Ichi's just kind of like
17:29
looking. Is there like a parlor car
17:33
actually? No, I think 'cause.
17:35
We were sitting around the bar car, yeah.
17:37
We were sitting at a bar talking to another one.
17:40
I think Ichi's actually gonna try and just like, look through
17:43
the windows of these rooms to find Slick.
17:46
I feel like I'm like a room, room or two down.
17:48
I there's not very many rooms in the first class cabin I would
17:53
assume. Not many people wanting to pay
17:56
$35 to travel, let's be honest. Yeah.
18:01
AG is going to like knock on the glass and just be like flick,
18:06
flick what? What do we do?
18:11
Is there is there any other like commotion happening in the car
18:13
right now or is it just the two of us?
18:16
Yeah, there. It's just the two of you right
18:18
now in this car. The doors going to bust open and
18:22
Slick's going to just like grab you by the front of his shirt
18:26
and like pull you into the room and slam the door.
18:29
Oh, OK, All right. What are what are we doing?
18:33
Slick is currently like 3/4 dressed in a black like tail
18:40
coat and white shirt and black pants.
18:44
Very different outfit than you're used to seeing in men.
18:47
Dressing for a wedding or something?
18:51
Don't worry about it, Itchy, we need to get you out of here.
18:57
Me, yeah. Yeah, now we're going to be
19:01
looking for you specifically. OK, so I'm you.
19:08
Yep. All right, hang on, Let me let
19:11
me practice my disguising. And I think that she's going to.
19:15
Don't you have a good disguise skill first?
19:18
They're not a disguise scale. I thought there was.
19:19
Deceive, I think is. Probably.
19:22
I thought there was also Acton. That's what it was.
19:24
If she's gonna, if she's gonna turn around for a second and
19:27
then he's gonna turn back around and be like, nice to meet you.
19:30
It's like Wiley. Spectacular.
19:37
Do you want to roll me in Acton check.
19:39
I just want to see something. I would love to.
19:42
What is my? All right.
19:44
So, OK, maybe I should have given this.
19:48
I you know, I didn't think this is where I was gonna be, so I
19:50
didn't put any points to this. That's one.
19:55
Well, that's a four and a one. So no successes.
20:00
Yeah. Because in case you forgot, we
20:02
use a dice pool system here. Sometimes I take a six as like
20:06
a, you know, special Genesee quoi.
20:09
But not here, not now. Now.
20:12
Bring it out the fancy language. You're unconvinced this is not
20:17
gonna fucking work. Ichi is a very recognizable
20:22
figure. I mean, he's.
20:25
My his hope is that, you know, acting or not.
20:29
Like, I mean, nobody got a name. Yeah, your your best hope is
20:33
that no one was left alive. Well my best hope is that people
20:37
would recognize a sparkly ass suit and if he's not in that
20:40
then that's very true. Maybe we'd have a chance.
20:43
You know, it's like, well, you're looking for a guy wearing
20:45
a white sequin suit. This is clearly not that man.
20:48
Yeah. That was a good suit though.
20:50
I didn't. I think we threw it.
20:52
Out the window, yeah. You did.
20:54
So it's out there. A Wendigo is now walking past
20:57
wearing. Why does that one have a blonde
21:02
wig? Looking like a really bad Elvis
21:07
impersonator. It's Dolly Parton.
21:13
This looks gonna just like pop the door open a little bit and
21:16
look and see if there's like any anybody out there like would we
21:21
know like what the onboard security situation is?
21:26
Is there any? You They're like porters, but
21:29
there's no like real. Like guards, there's.
21:32
No real security. No, I mean not here.
21:35
OK. I mean, that's all security,
21:36
what I was concerned about. No, I mean, you're just, this is
21:41
Texas. It's Texas in the 1870s.
21:44
Everybody here has a gun. Everybody's their own security.
21:47
Everybody's their own security. You do, though.
21:51
When you poke your head out, you hear muffled voices, but the
21:55
voices are raised. It sounds like people are
21:58
talking very animatedly. I mean, I imagine somebody's
22:02
going to come look in here pretty soon.
22:05
Yeah, you're on a time limit, you know that.
22:07
It's very clear. I think we're gonna head, I'm
22:11
gonna, I'm gonna try and sneak Itchy, I'm gonna put him in
22:13
front of me and I'm just gonna kind of like push him.
22:16
And I think. Do you remember which direction
22:19
was it, forward or back of the train that he went forward to
22:22
shoot people? OK, We're gonna go back then.
22:25
Oh. I had.
22:26
I had another thought. Oh yeah, go forward.
22:29
What if? What if we just like run to the
22:32
engine and try and decouple the engine?
22:37
And the so Arthur's there, the issue is if it's in the front of
22:39
the train, if if he went forward, we'd have to leave the
22:41
train and run them. And we'd be leaving the hall.
22:43
We. We can't get there via cars.
22:45
Yeah, we'd also be leaving the horses behind.
22:48
I mean, we have $8000. I can buy some new horses.
22:52
No, I mean, I I'm down with that.
22:54
I mean I just stole my horse anyways.
22:55
But I mean we have Jessie and quote UN quote Evander.
22:59
I'm sure that if we leave Evander at this point, I'm sure
23:02
nothing bad will happen. Nothing bad could possibly
23:08
happen, yeah. That look says everything right?
23:11
Yeah, I I mean, if we can't, if we can't get there from the
23:17
like, if we can't get there just like.
23:18
Wait, where was where was the horse car?
23:20
Was it in the front of the back 'cause the luggage is usually in
23:23
the front? Ah shit, staple car closer to
23:25
the back, the smell. Yeah, that makes sense.
23:27
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:29
Yeah, because theoretically if we can't get to the engine from
23:34
the like, you know, just by like going through the cars
23:37
themselves, we could climb out the window and just like, run on
23:42
top of the train cars. Going up would be a good idea
23:47
because then we could at least somewhat avoid the wendigos
23:49
outside. That and like, the porters
23:52
aren't going to like, you know, if and when they do come,
23:56
they're not going to expect us to be on top of the train.
23:59
No, at the top is a good idea. I didn't think about that.
24:01
'Cause then too we can, if we, if we make it to the engine, we
24:05
can decouple the cars and then we can just take the engine to
24:08
new. Orleans.
24:09
Well, if we can get through whatever this barrier is holding
24:11
us here, that's the other thing. But yeah, I think either way,
24:14
the top is the best way to go 'cause I doubt anybody's going
24:16
to be looking for us there. All right, immediately.
24:19
Imagine that all happened in character.
24:21
Yeah, 100. Percent.
24:25
OK, All right, Slick. If you, if you boost me up, I
24:28
can, I can hang on, I can pull down, I don't know, I can roll
24:37
up the tent and I can use it as like a makeshift rope, makeshift
24:41
rope to get you up. Yeah, you do that and then Slick
24:44
climbs the ladder that's on cars to get to the roof.
24:49
And as you guys are doing this, it is still like lurching and
24:54
grinding, but I think as long as you're using the ladder, you're
24:57
fine. Oh, right, the ladder.
24:59
Yeah, I'm, I'm going to do that. Instead, I think that's really,
25:03
really the smartest option here. Obviously I will let you roll an
25:07
athletics check if you want to try and shimmy your way up a
25:09
rope. No, I think, I think that's
25:12
quite all right. All right.
25:16
And back in the engine. So yeah.
25:20
Just where we'll be jumping cars, running towards the
25:22
engine. Just do we.
25:23
I'm pretty sure we know that's where Arthur went.
25:25
I think he said that, but I'm not 100.
25:27
Percent sure, pretty sure, I said.
25:28
I'm going to go and see what's going on up there.
25:31
OK, Yeah, I, I, I think, yeah. Yeah.
25:45
Yeah, Arthur, back in the engine car, this creature you guys keep
25:52
saying in Indigo, I will. I rode down Hellhound.
25:54
But there are features of both. It doesn't.
25:57
It doesn't. It doesn't super matter.
26:01
And this creature is up on its hind legs and the eyes are
26:05
piercing, you know, they're kind of oozing, but they're piercing.
26:09
And it keeps just cocking its head at you because it wants a
26:11
treat. Puppy wants a treat, Arthur.
26:15
My master is looking for you. Son, I, I I don't know who your
26:22
master is. She knows who you are.
26:27
You know, I have a lot of secret admirers nowadays.
26:31
I found you. She's going to be so happy I
26:38
found you. Oh, it's a good day.
26:49
It's a good day. How far away is this thing from
26:53
me and how how close am I to this full engine block?
26:56
Just just just humour me. How close would he be to the
27:02
full engine block in order to have gotten all of this started?
27:04
Kyle. Mr. Train.
27:08
From from define engine block. The whole the whole steam
27:13
engine. So if you look, if you look at
27:15
that picture, that's like that is.
27:17
Yeah. So right behind the boiler.
27:19
It's like pretty. Like the seat is in the bottom
27:21
right of the picture. Yeah, so.
27:22
OK, so he's jumped through this window that's on that picture,
27:25
I'm assuming? Or he could have come in there's
27:29
there's a platform between the tender and.
27:32
Small. Horrifying.
27:33
Yeah. He could have burned that
27:34
window. Very true, very true.
27:37
He's a few feet away from you, but he has his arm extended out
27:42
and his lovely lengthy claws are very close to brushing your
27:46
cheek. And it's not like threatening.
27:47
He's not trying to hurt you. He just, he wants to touch you.
27:51
He wants to touch you. Son, looking for free but
27:56
touching is going to cost you and I'm going to I want to, I'll
27:59
roll for it. I'll even roll at a
28:00
disadvantage. I want to grab his arm and throw
28:02
him into the fire pit that's in the the steam engine block and
28:06
then close the door. Roll fisticuffs and he'll roll
28:10
fisticuffs against you. Roll fisticuffs.
28:13
Oh shit, it does. Yeah, you're both rolling 6 on
28:17
this. This is a brilliant idea.
28:20
Nothing can go wrong putting a hell hound in the fire.
28:24
Blow them boys, blow them boys. Give me luck.
28:30
How many successes 116? 12.
28:35
And three fives or 4 successes. See, I also got 4 successes, but
28:40
I got 2 sixes. Fuck.
28:42
The hell hound milks faster. God damn it.
28:45
Those claws that were just close to your face, they close around
28:48
your neck in a grip. It's not hard.
28:53
His paws are cold. It's not the flesh of something
28:59
living, clearly, but you would have thought that it would have
29:02
burned hotter. And his eyes turned from, you
29:05
know, the sort of goomyish, gooey, weeping things that they
29:11
were into that hot magma color that you saw pulsing under
29:16
Evander's skin. I.
29:18
Don't like your games? I'm going to go, but now I know
29:23
what you spell like. And he inhales really deeply,
29:30
really deeply. And he gets a little bit closer,
29:33
and that's when we hear the running footsteps of something
29:38
on the roof. And the hell hound pushes you
29:41
back. But the Hell hound leaves the
29:44
same way it came in. Through the window.
29:47
Through the window, through the fucking window.
29:53
And you have like a first degree burn around your neck in the
29:57
shape of a clawed handprint. Meanwhile, on top of the train,
30:16
you guys, what's up? I don't know.
30:20
We're running. You tell us what's what.
30:24
What nightmare do we run into on top?
30:27
It's not what you run into on top of the train, it's what you
30:29
see in front of the train. Oh good.
30:33
So, I mean, you've been encountering A barrier,
30:36
something that's causing the train to like lurch and rattle
30:38
and not quite want to move, and it's a vast quantity of corpses
30:44
stripped down to the bone, laid out on the tracks.
30:49
How many how? How many courses and millions
30:52
would you say? Something like 2.4 million.
30:56
That's a joke. That's a joke and a call back.
31:01
That's not. Not quite that many, but it's
31:05
it's an uncountable number. If you were to guess, maybe 1000
31:09
and they're piled on these tracks and it goes on for quite
31:13
some time and you're not sure why it's forcing the train to
31:17
like lurch and stop and grind because theoretically it should
31:21
just shred these bodies. But it's the quantity of them
31:23
that makes it seem like the train is having difficulties.
31:26
And they're being pushed beside as the train lurches forward.
31:30
And they're not quite mummies, but they certainly look like
31:36
they were starved before they died or or something.
31:41
Did did all the wendigos leave or was it just the one?
31:44
There were three. There were three in total.
31:46
There were three in. Total and they all left.
31:48
They're all gone. You see them.
31:51
Well, you see them. Like running away.
31:53
Yeah, yipping joyfully. I don't like that there is a
31:59
joyful tone to those. They're heading the direction of
32:03
that the train was travelling. Oh, wonderful.
32:07
So I, I feel like then we would cross the tender and probably
32:12
see Arthur there and jump down. I don't know if this thing's
32:17
going to be moving this direction anytime soon, Arthur.
32:20
Oh, so you see us in these different outlets?
32:22
Yes, they've done a costume change.
32:27
Flamboyant. I'm not even going to have a
32:29
costume. Change.
32:31
Hey Arthur, I don't think you have the time to get a new
32:34
tattoo. What's What's that on your neck?
32:38
Don't worry about it. You say don't worry about it
32:41
with this I'm very worried. Tell what happened.
32:49
No, it doesn't. It doesn't matter.
32:50
And then I'm going to grab the lever and plate fully in through
32:52
the. OK, see before you.
33:00
OK, so hold on. I'm I'm, I'm going to, I'm going
33:02
to push it back in a new actually, I'm just going to turn
33:04
the steam off. I got a better idea.
33:08
I this thing ain't going anywhere except back where we
33:10
came from. Let's grab our horses and
33:12
hightail it out of here. OK.
33:16
We can go any direction on those.
33:20
We'll just start walking back through the cars.
33:22
He's not us. And now we got to go off.
33:24
Can we God damn it? All right.
33:27
I guess we're going back up. Are we?
33:30
I feel like when we get close to, we should probably stick to
33:34
like really like sticking to the wall so that anybody looking out
33:39
the windows doesn't see us. I mean, because we're still kind
33:42
of wanted by everybody inside the.
33:44
Train If the train stopped, why don't we just go back on top?
33:48
And we could go back up on the roof.
33:49
Yeah, that's fine too. I think Arthur would just walk
33:52
through the middle not even realizing he don't know what's
33:54
going on with the itchy thing. So he's just like, I'm good in
33:58
blood. Yeah, but that's from the second
33:59
class Passenger. Yeah.
34:03
And Arthur, as you walk back through, I think probably like,
34:06
I don't know, once you get to like the first class dining car,
34:10
you see, like I don't know if you paid attention the first
34:13
time, but it's like it's a massacre.
34:16
Oh shit. I'm going to get out the dying
34:19
car and climb onto the roof, but who the fuck?
34:21
Killed everybody in there, no one.
34:25
Such someone killed everybody in.
34:27
There no, no, Arthur, no one did.
34:36
I've been waiting to use that joke for two months.
34:41
I have so many things planned around that one stupid bit.
34:44
Anyway, carry on. Slick's going to look at Arthur
34:50
be like hey Might, hopping back down into our cabin and grabbing
34:53
our shit from our rooms before we head back.
34:56
Sure, just. And then he'll just climb back
35:00
down and walk. But move to the to the they just
35:03
sleep. The coven didn't grab everyone
35:06
shit. Assuming that nobody is looking
35:08
for Arthur, right? Like is he bothered at all by?
35:12
No, he's not bothered by anyone. He will see.
35:14
Like is there wait, is there? Was there anybody alive?
35:17
Not. Not left in a dining car.
35:20
So he would have. He would have seen.
35:21
Everybody was just. He would have seen him kill
35:23
everybody if there's nobody. Alive, OK, but also Arthur is
35:27
covered in blood. People have fled.
35:30
Like clearly there were other people there.
35:32
There's like abandoned, like meals left, but nobody's.
35:36
In there, right, there's like a manhunt on the train for Itchy.
35:39
Itchy specifically. There might.
35:41
Be so I mean, that's why I'm thinking like that's why I just
35:44
curious if like Arthur had run into like anybody for that.
35:46
No, Arthur has not run anybody yet.
35:51
And so, yeah, I'll just go over all the shit, like everybody's
35:54
stuff. Yeah, I think this is happening
35:59
fast enough that you won't run into the search party
36:03
essentially. I mean, we're on the roof too.
36:06
You're on the roof, Arthur's there.
36:09
Itchy was seen fleeing towards the back of the train.
36:11
So that's where they're starting.
36:14
Yeah, which is unfortunately what we also are going.
36:17
So, OK, I, I guess we just get as close to the box car in the
36:22
back as we can that has our horses in it until whatever
36:26
happens, if we can get to our horses, great.
36:28
But we'll see. Because the Boxers do have a a
36:31
roof hatch generally. So we could, we could just sneak
36:33
in that way you don't have to go to the ground.
36:38
So yeah, if we can get to the boxcar and get into it to get
36:41
our horses out, that's what we're going to.
36:43
Do all right, I think I want you, you know, it might be fun
36:57
for you specifically. I think this is a bit of a
36:59
gamble, wouldn't you, that you open the roof hatch?
37:03
A scammatage. That's what I was thinking too.
37:05
Or gambling. Oh, gambling.
37:07
I think you should just run gambling.
37:09
See. You don't know if there's
37:10
anybody in there or not. Yeah.
37:13
OK, that's five dice. That's my 5 dice, 3 ones, a
37:16
three and a six. So 16 success.
37:19
One success. I told you these dice roll like
37:23
ass, but I'm going to keep. Rolling them, they do You open
37:27
the roof hatch and inside of this car there is one stable
37:32
boy. He is he is taking a nap.
37:36
He is conked out against the wall, like clearly drunk, like
37:40
clearly sleeping off being very drunk.
37:44
How are you going to? How are you going to deal with
37:46
this? Hey, Riley.
37:48
Yes, Matthew. If Itchy has an impulsive bad
37:53
thought, how many dice would you want me to roll to like not be
38:01
impulsive? I think it depends on the nature
38:05
of that impulsive bad thought. Tell me, what category is it?
38:08
Animal, vegetable or mineral. Can I?
38:12
I? I want to keep this.
38:14
I want to keep this like. On the DM, vague.
38:17
Yeah, hang on, I'm going to. I'm going to ping you.
38:20
Oh, cute. For that, Matt, you roll roll a
38:26
persuasion check for yourself. A persuasion check for myself.
38:30
That's two dice and then. I have 1-2 fails.
38:35
Yes, two fails. Is your gun even loaded right
38:38
now? Have you reloaded it?
38:41
You used all six bullets. You did.
38:43
You used all six bullets. Have you had?
38:45
You have. OK that.
38:46
Honestly, I like this even better.
38:48
OK, yeah, do it. Try.
38:52
OK. So I think as Slick tries to
38:57
like clamber down, I think Ichi's just gonna like put up a
39:00
hand and he's just gonna hang on.
39:04
Just just give me one second and he's gonna, he's gonna drop
39:08
down. And once he's kind of in the
39:11
dark, he's going to, he's gonna pull out his gun.
39:16
And I think he's trying to be sneaky.
39:18
So he's just gonna, he's just gonna like get to an area where
39:24
Slick can't see him from the Hatch.
39:27
Just kind of be in shadow if possible.
39:29
If not, it's fine. It's not.
39:32
OK, well then Ichi's just going to drop down and he's just going
39:36
to pull out his gun and try and and try and shoot this guy
39:39
before he wakes up. Click.
39:42
Shit is he did? Did he just?
39:56
I'm going to jump down, climbing through the hat.
39:59
She can grab like the barrel of his gun and be like son, son
40:05
what the fuck are you doing? If they're looking for me, I may
40:10
as well make this easy for you too.
40:12
That's the son this guy's. Asleep.
40:15
Exactly. I don't have to think about it.
40:19
That this guy's not waking up. They should take the horses and
40:21
fucking go. We have to be certain and if he
40:26
tries and like pulls the gun away to try and load a shot into
40:29
it, I'm. Going to grip onto the gun as
40:31
hard as I can so he can't pull it away from me.
40:34
Ripper, stop it. Just so don't don't make me
40:39
knock you out against them. I'm doing What's in your best
40:42
interest my. Interests are already fucked, it
40:46
don't matter no more. Slick, that your ass down here,
40:51
Slick. Wall.
40:53
Oh God. Yeah, It's like, what do you do?
40:55
I'm just trying to shoot an innocent kid.
40:58
I mean, this is like, I don't know, this is the.
41:01
Problem though. Here's the problem though,
41:04
Riley, is that I had the same idea.
41:09
And you shoot him. That's kind of what I was
41:11
thinking was that Slick just walks up behind the two, pulls
41:14
out his gut and shoots the kid in the head.
41:16
Yeah, do it. You don't even have.
41:17
To We don't have time for this shit.
41:19
Yeah, we don't have time for this shit, Arthur.
41:21
We got to get the fuck out of here.
41:24
Have you shot the kid? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:28
Arthur's going to deck Itchy and then grip slick by the throat.
41:35
Can Itchy try and like, weasel his way out so that he doesn't
41:38
get hit? Yeah, you can.
41:40
Athletics it. All right, you.
41:43
Think that's weaseling. I don't think it's going to be a
41:46
roll off. I just think that Itchy has been
41:49
punched by you so many times. He kind of knows the way that
41:51
you punch. Well, that do be a six.
41:55
OK, yeah. He grazes you like, he gets you
41:58
a little bit, but this is like, this is not the full strength of
42:01
an Arthur punch. You're fine.
42:02
You're like, but you're fine. I think Ichi's going to make
42:06
distance and he's gonna see if he can find Evander and also
42:10
reload the gun. So Arthur's next move was to try
42:14
and grab me, he said. Hey, Riley.
42:19
Yeah. Can I use a scam attach to try
42:22
and evade this? 100%.
42:24
Is this one going to be a roll off because I've never attacked
42:26
slick in a single way. In a while this will be a roll
42:29
off. So I, I, I talked to Riley about
42:32
this. Niall, have you ever seen the
42:35
movie Now You See Me? I have, yeah.
42:38
Slick fights like Dave Franco's character.
42:42
OK. So that's why that's why my
42:45
argument is for a scam attach because I'm like slippery as
42:49
fuck. You'll roll athletics, not
42:51
fisticuffs because you're reaching to grapple him and
42:54
Slick is going to roll a scammatage and try and slip out
42:57
of. Your room, you what I got great.
43:00
I got 3 sixes Riley. OK.
43:05
I wanted to keep it fair, so I was D Ming you before I heard.
43:07
Yeah, you got 3. Success.
43:11
You're like 5 times feels right. My sabotage is my highest step.
43:16
Got 3 successes and this one. I don't think I want to count
43:19
sixes as crits. I think I want you to each roll
43:21
one more die. Didn't he get 2?
43:25
I got 3 sixes. He got three sixes, one more
43:28
die. And that's another six.
43:33
I got 5 hello. This happened last time.
43:39
He just barely gets you. It's like you almost got out of
43:43
it. It's not quite a firm grip.
43:48
Son, what the fuck are you doing killing a kid?
43:51
We have to go. You didn't have to kill the kid.
43:55
I think at this point Ichi has he's he's united Evander and
43:59
he's trying to untie Slick and Arthur's horses and he just
44:04
looks back at both of them and he's just like y'all 2
44:07
motherfuckers stop rolling around on this horseshit.
44:09
Get on the God damn horse. We can talk about this later.
44:14
Arthur's going to look around at Itchy, but I don't know who you
44:18
fucking think you're talking to, son, but I will smack you sick
44:22
way six ways from Sunday if you don't shut your fucking mouth
44:25
right now. You can spack me all you want,
44:28
goddamn metering. We got to get out this train.
44:32
OK, I'm. Going to throw.
44:36
Slick through the door onto the floor.
44:39
Did he grab me? I thought he.
44:41
Gripped you just slightly. He just barely had to.
44:45
So he doesn't have like a firm grip.
44:47
It's like it's like outer layer of clothing.
44:49
And I'm just going to, like push you so you're out of the train.
44:53
I'm going to jump on Bessie and I'm going to ride the opposite
44:56
direction to what they're riding.
44:58
Don't do this to me, OK, OK. Also, this is all I'm going to
45:05
justify this, that that Hellhound said he knows my sin,
45:09
he doesn't know their sin. So if they go to New Orleans,
45:12
they're going to be saying. You haven't even you haven't
45:14
even told them about this yet. Well, they don't have time.
45:17
He just killed the kid in front of me.
45:19
Yeah, I've just found out. My wife thinks I'm the reason
45:22
she died. More so than I thought.
45:27
Arthur's going through like a a crisis right now.
45:31
Yeah, he is. He is, yeah.
45:35
I am not saying that it's invalid.
45:38
So I'll ride back towards Dallas.
45:42
Houston. Houston, wherever the fuck we
45:44
were. Yeah, we came from Houston.
45:52
God damn it. Slick.
45:54
We got to fucking go, God. Damn.
45:58
It Slick's going to hop on his horse and just be like, itchy.
46:00
We got to fucking go. Yeah, I think Ichi is.
46:04
He's on, not Evander, and he's. I.
46:09
I think we should go perpendicular to the train for a
46:11
little bit and then turn towards New Orleans.
46:14
Yeah. Yeah, fuck guys.
46:18
I think that is going to conclude this episode that.
46:23
Every turn my works degraded. I enjoy my suffering.
46:43
You're like a war that's raged with no meaning.
46:48
You're like a. Walking.
46:50
Disease eating. Away at what's alive.
46:59
You may enjoy my. You made me last at everything.
47:48
You quietly enjoy my suffering. You quietly enjoy my suffering.
