  >> Skylar: Last time on Black Friday of the Dead,
• 0:21
  the group of you Awake to Fly
• 0:24
  by Steve Azar as as the end credits of Paul
• 0:27
  blart mall cop 2 scroll across the black
• 0:30
  screen.
• 0:30
  >> Quinn: We gotta go. We gotta go. I gotta get myself that PS4 song.
• 0:33
  We gotta go now. It's 6:30. What were we
• 0:36
  doing? How can we sit?
• 0:37
  >> Dave: 6:30?
• 0:38
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Holy Quinn, you're driving.
• 0:40
  >> Skylar: So as you guys are kind of walking down this. This main
• 0:43
  corridor of the mall that leads kind of deeper into the rest of the
• 0:46
  mall, suddenly a noise rises
• 0:48
  up above your jests and chuckles.
• 0:51
  You all turn to look back towards the
• 0:54
  doors that you just came through. Behind
• 0:56
  you is an entire
• 0:59
  horde of zombies.
• 1:01
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Dave, over here, lying on the ground. Grab an arm and we'll pull.
• 1:04
  >> Skylar: What's closest, there is a T shirt
• 1:07
  store called Teas and Jerseys.
• 1:10
  >> Dave: What's going on? Why am I enlightening
• 1:13
  the queen?
• 1:13
  >> Skylar: You snag it and run towards the gate.
• 1:17
  You jam the key into the gate and close it down
• 1:20
  just as the zombies make contact with
• 1:22
  it. Their fingers and maybe even some of the scrawnier
• 1:25
  armed zombies are able to reach through. But you slam
• 1:28
  that gate down, it clicks into the floor, and you
• 1:31
  step back just in time. There is a service hallway. So
• 1:34
  there is a back door. You nervously
• 1:37
  take that handle, you twist it, and very
• 1:40
  slowly it pushes inwards towards
• 1:42
  the service hallway. And as you peek inside, it's
• 1:45
  quite dark. You guys stay safe in there, okay?
• 1:48
  >> Dave: Yeah, we'll do our best. All right.
• 1:51
  I love you, son. I love you too, dad.
• 1:56
  >> Skylar: All Ah, right. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode
• 1:59
  of our All Flesh Must be Eaten
• 2:02
  holiday special, where
• 2:04
  three, plus maybe another
• 2:07
  survivor, are trapped inside
• 2:10
  of an entire shopping mall during
• 2:13
  Black Friday 2016. And a
• 2:15
  zombie infection breaks out. Technically, the zombie infection broke
• 2:18
  out before you guys got here, but you guys are trapped in them all
• 2:21
  now. whatever the case, joining me today are
• 2:24
  people playing themselves, essentially during the year
• 2:27
  of 2016, which is kind of a fun take on our
• 2:30
  TTRPG concept. we have Dave
• 2:33
  playing himself. We have
• 2:36
  Fatty Lumpkins playing
• 2:39
  himself, technically under a pseudonym.
• 2:42
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah.
• 2:45
  >> Skylar: Once again, that's not his name.
• 2:48
  And we have Quinn playing himself
• 2:51
  joining us in addition today. who you will
• 2:54
  recognize from our Criminals of Isla Numa series is
• 2:57
  Jackson. Jackson, welcome to the mall.
• 2:59
  >> Cameron: thank you. It's good to be here. As long as there's a Chinese
• 3:02
  food stand in the food court, I'll be a happy man.
• 3:05
  >> Skylar: All right, perfect. I can guarantee you there are
• 3:07
  two, depending on how you look at it. Actually,
• 3:10
  I guess one is technically Japanese because it's like sushi and stuff.
• 3:13
  The other one's more.
• 3:15
  >> Cameron: Everyone knows the Chinese don't make sushi.
• 3:18
  >> Skylar: That's right. That's right. So technically, two Asian
• 3:21
  cuisines. One of them kind of your typical Chinese
• 3:24
  serve. But we'll get into that, we'll get into that once you guys make your way
• 3:27
  to the food court. But for now, those of
• 3:29
  you, that were here last episode, Quinn, Dave and
• 3:32
  Fatty managed, to get into the mall,
• 3:35
  through the movie theater entrance. And they followed
• 3:38
  it down before getting chased by zombies into tees
• 3:41
  and jerseys. Inside there, they fought
• 3:44
  against a zombie and managed to get into sort of
• 3:47
  a back room area, sort of a service
• 3:50
  area for, mall staff. And that's where you guys
• 3:52
  are currently at. you guys have just pushed
• 3:55
  your way through there. Where are you headed next?
• 3:58
  you're in. It's a dark hallway, obviously. maybe there's a
• 4:01
  couple of flickering lights. It's, you know, not a very well
• 4:04
  kept. We're talking 2016. It's not that long ago.
• 4:07
  Malls are still kind of in the decline at that
• 4:10
  point. so it's not a well, kempt kept service
• 4:13
  area. there's probably some scattered
• 4:16
  debris, old boxes,
• 4:18
  decrept cardboard just kind of laying
• 4:21
  around. do you guys have a particular direction that you guys are
• 4:23
  headed?
• 4:24
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Dave, when we were talking to your dad, didn't he say help
• 4:27
  was coming or they were trying to send help to us? How long do you
• 4:30
  think it's going to take for us to hunker down until help
• 4:33
  arrives? Because if, if it's going to be a
• 4:36
  while, maybe we need to find somewhere to
• 4:38
  reinforce our position and rearm
• 4:41
  for who knows how long of a
• 4:43
  siege.
• 4:44
  >> Dave: Yeah, I don't know. It could take a while.
• 4:48
  They're moving at the speed of government. I
• 4:51
  imagine.
• 4:53
  >> Quinn: You guys think we should make it down to. Was it sporties?
• 4:56
  >> Dave: You just want to get your hat, don't you?
• 4:58
  >> Quinn: I really want that hat. But also, we mean, you know, they got
• 5:01
  some weapons in there. You know, we could
• 5:04
  get some bows.
• 5:04
  >> Dave: And arrow and be like, oh, the sporties.
• 5:07
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 5:08
  >> Dave: Yeah, we should definitely go there.
• 5:09
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Sports store, hardware store. That should give us
• 5:12
  the back where.
• 5:13
  >> Quinn: We can navigate the back rooms over to sporties.
• 5:16
  I think we'd have to go out in the hallway.
• 5:18
  >> Skylar: I was gonna say you'd have to enter the main
• 5:21
  walkway and then get.
• 5:22
  >> Quinn: Into the second walk.
• 5:23
  >> Skylar: Right, exactly. The second sort of service entrance
• 5:26
  area. It's almost more of a Staff entrance because
• 5:29
  it leads down to the
• 5:31
  coffee shop that is inside of
• 5:34
  the COVID to cover bookstore.
• 5:36
  >> Quinn: What do you guys think? Should we. Shall we, should we get down to Sporties?
• 5:39
  or. What do you. What do you guys think? We should get something to arm
• 5:42
  ourselves. We got a pair of scissors right now, but I don't
• 5:45
  think that's going to get the job done.
• 5:46
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah, I think that's fair. If we can arm
• 5:49
  ourselves at Sporties. And then if we're going to be here
• 5:51
  for weeks, maybe we
• 5:54
  find one of those furniture stores and barricade
• 5:57
  the doors. And then we should barricade into bed to sleep
• 6:00
  on.
• 6:00
  >> Quinn: Should we barricade in one of the food court stores?
• 6:03
  And we have food to eat
• 6:06
  for the time being.
• 6:07
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Tough decisions.
• 6:08
  >> Quinn: I mean, hypothetically, how many zombies are in the wall?
• 6:11
  We think about what, a thousand maybe at most.
• 6:15
  >> Dave: Black Friday.
• 6:16
  >> Quinn: I mean, I. You think we kill a thousand of
• 6:18
  them?
• 6:19
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I don't feel very confident with this mannequin here. But
• 6:22
  maybe you feel more confident with your scissors.
• 6:25
  >> Dave: I don't want to get any zombie
• 6:28
  fluids on me. That's what I'm
• 6:30
  saying. So we're killing thousands of
• 6:33
  zombies. We're gonna be like, covered in
• 6:36
  stuff.
• 6:36
  >> Quinn: Well, there's a,
• 6:37
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: And the smell. We'd have to find a lot of stanky
• 6:40
  candles to cover that up. Where is that
• 6:43
  Yankee stanky candle store? Is that on our
• 6:46
  way?
• 6:47
  >> Dave: We're moving down the hallway as, we're talking.
• 6:49
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 6:50
  >> Dave: Because the way we just wanted get.
• 6:51
  >> Quinn: Away from, I think right down by King
• 6:54
  picture on the way to Sporties, I
• 6:57
  believe. I believe
• 7:00
  there's a, a rainy day store
• 7:03
  where you might be able to get some like, you know, like,
• 7:06
  like a plastic trench coat or something.
• 7:08
  >> Dave: Oh, that's good.
• 7:09
  >> Quinn: Or umbrella. We could like get some like
• 7:12
  raincoats and then like killing stuff.
• 7:14
  Just swap out the rain coats.
• 7:16
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 7:17
  >> Dave: That's a great idea.
• 7:18
  >> Quinn: I believe it's called rainy day for you. Something like
• 7:20
  that.
• 7:21
  >> Dave: Is it close to where we're at now? I don't think I've ever shopped
• 7:24
  at that store.
• 7:25
  >> Quinn: You know, not many people have. Should be about seven
• 7:28
  stores down, I do believe. And then it'd only be
• 7:32
  about. We'd have to get through cover to cover
• 7:35
  to get to Sporties. But I think, I think we can do
• 7:38
  it.
• 7:38
  >> Skylar: Okay. As you guys are making your way down the hallway,
• 7:41
  you're passing a variety of stores. There's obviously labels
• 7:44
  on sort of this back doors that you
• 7:47
  can access or potentially access. You might Need
• 7:50
  a key. But whatever the case, there's labels on these doors as you're passing
• 7:53
  by them. In the service entrance, you pass by the Sprout
• 7:56
  Scouts, you pass by Happy beginnings
• 7:59
  Massage. You pass by Peak
• 8:01
  Kicks, and you pass by Kauai,
• 8:05
  Palace. And eventually you make your way to, you
• 8:07
  can. You're behind. You're in the back end of the
• 8:10
  rainy. What was it? Rainy day.
• 8:12
  >> Quinn: Rainy day for you.
• 8:13
  >> Skylar: You're behind the rainy day for you store.
• 8:16
  And yeah, that's where you're at. Are you guys
• 8:19
  going inside?
• 8:20
  >> Quinn: I think we got to peek it. I. Man, I
• 8:23
  think, fatty, I
• 8:26
  think you should go in with a mannequin. I think you got the best chance.
• 8:29
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: The perfect breach technique,
• 8:31
  guys, Peek in.
• 8:32
  >> Dave: With the door with the back of your hand.
• 8:34
  Ah.
• 8:36
  >> Skylar: To make sure it's not dead.
• 8:39
  >> Dave: Yeah.
• 8:39
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: What if it's got a pulse? It's got to be safe.
• 8:42
  >> Skylar: I don't know.
• 8:43
  >> Dave: You never know. It's an emergency.
• 8:48
  >> Quinn: Well, rock, paper, scissors on. Who's got to go
• 8:50
  first?
• 8:53
  >> Skylar: Well, are you going to touch the door first? The
• 8:56
  doorknobs.
• 8:56
  >> Quinn: Why are we touching the doorknobs?
• 8:58
  >> Skylar: I don't know. That's what Dave said. Dave, are you touching the doorknobs? Since you suggested
• 9:01
  it.
• 9:01
  >> Quinn: They're hot.
• 9:01
  >> Dave: Zombie breath is heating it up. Guys.
• 9:04
  >> Skylar: You put your hand on the doorknob and it
• 9:07
  is as cold as the dead.
• 9:10
  >> Dave: Oh, no, guys, Intense cold
• 9:13
  is the dead.
• 9:15
  >> Quinn: Oh, it's November.
• 9:17
  >> Dave: Well, it's probably fine.
• 9:18
  >> Cameron: Don't dead open inside.
• 9:20
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: You know, try to jiggle the door handle.
• 9:22
  >> Quinn: Did you guys hear that? Don't dead open inside.
• 9:25
  >> Skylar: I don't.
• 9:25
  >> Dave: I don't think we should be jiggling anything.
• 9:27
  Everybody silence.
• 9:29
  >> Skylar: Your.
• 9:29
  >> Dave: Your wallet pocket chains.
• 9:33
  >> Skylar: You all goth or something? Because I'm kind of
• 9:36
  punk.
• 9:36
  >> Quinn: No, that's just you. You're the goth one.
• 9:39
  >> Skylar: No, fine, I'll go first.
• 9:41
  >> Dave: I don't want to lose my wallet.
• 9:45
  >> Quinn: The zombie thieves.
• 9:47
  >> Skylar: All right, fine, fine.
• 9:48
  >> Quinn: I'll go first. I'll take my scissors and
• 9:51
  peek the door. I just crack the door open a little bit. Do I see
• 9:54
  anything?
• 9:54
  >> Skylar: Okay, the store itself is. The lights
• 9:57
  are on. you don't see anybody inside
• 10:00
  amidst the racks of coat hangers, the
• 10:03
  shelves with hanging, different styles of
• 10:05
  umbrellas,
• 10:07
  galoshes on some other shelves,
• 10:10
  and so on and so forth, you don't see anybody amidst this
• 10:13
  particular store. But past all the
• 10:16
  50, 60, 75% off signs
• 10:19
  that hang on the windows and the nice little,
• 10:22
  like, stand ups, display that Also says
• 10:25
  huge Black Friday sale. You
• 10:28
  do See, there are a handful of zombies walking the
• 10:31
  hallway, the main hallway that passes by this
• 10:33
  store. And you know that if you were not to be stealthy enough,
• 10:36
  you might attract their attention, but you could, in theory, get into this
• 10:39
  store and out without causing a disturbance.
• 10:43
  >> Quinn: All right, guys, there's some zombies walking the hallway,
• 10:46
  but nothing in the store. Even the dead don't want anything
• 10:49
  to do with this store.
• 10:50
  >> Skylar: But we. We're here.
• 10:52
  >> Quinn: Well, you know, tough times. Tough times.
• 10:55
  If we're stealthy enough, I think we can get through
• 10:57
  this. What do you guys
• 11:00
  think?
• 11:02
  >> Dave: Okay. Sounds good.
• 11:04
  >> Skylar: All right.
• 11:05
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I mean, if the alternative is being.
• 11:06
  >> Skylar: Covered in whisper,
• 11:10
  then I'm game. All right,
• 11:12
  just make sure you get close to the mic if you guys are gonna
• 11:15
  whisper. Okay, as you guys
• 11:18
  slowly tiptoe into the story, each one of you,
• 11:20
  I'm going to have you guys all make, dexterity
• 11:23
  checks. So you're going to roll your D10, you're going to add your
• 11:26
  dexterity, and then if you have any
• 11:29
  amount of stealth or something similar as a
• 11:32
  skill, let me know and I can, And you
• 11:35
  can add that to your roll.
• 11:38
  >> Dave: I got, a three.
• 11:39
  >> Quinn: Oh, no.
• 11:40
  >> Skylar: Ooh.
• 11:42
  >> Quinn: Six.
• 11:43
  >> Skylar: Okay, so, Dave, you kind of
• 11:46
  push past and lead the charge.
• 11:48
  >> Dave: Somebody returned a used umbrel,
• 11:51
  and it made a puddle on the ground.
• 11:54
  >> Skylar: as you're walking through, you have
• 11:57
  your. Wasn't it a pull from the
• 11:59
  display or something?
• 12:01
  >> Dave: So it's like the. Yeah, the display rack.
• 12:03
  Just the shaft in the bottom part.
• 12:06
  Yeah, like the three or four pronged bottom
• 12:09
  piece.
• 12:10
  >> Skylar: So I think, based on logic and based on the rolls. So Nick
• 12:13
  goes first easily and carefully
• 12:15
  maneuvers his mannequin through the doorway. I'm sure probably
• 12:18
  Quinn holding the door for him. Makes it a little bit
• 12:21
  easier, makes it inside without knocking anything over
• 12:24
  with his mannequin.
• 12:25
  >> Cameron: I'm just imagining you pretending to make it one.
• 12:30
  >> Skylar: It's a very manipulative.
• 12:32
  >> Cameron: He's lifting each leg.
• 12:34
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I don't know if puppeteering is one of the skills I'm going
• 12:37
  to have.
• 12:37
  >> Skylar: To make him roll for that.
• 12:39
  >> Quinn: Make it look like a zombie. Yeah.
• 12:41
  >> Skylar: whatever the case, you make it through. Quinn follows
• 12:44
  after and, bumps
• 12:47
  an umbrella off of the shelf, causing it to
• 12:50
  fall on the ground. Everybody freezes for a moment, and at first, it
• 12:53
  doesn't seem like the zombies have noticed that
• 12:56
  you guys are nearby. Quinn
• 12:58
  tiptoes the rest of the way in, followed by Dave. And
• 13:01
  as the door closes behind Dave, he forgets how
• 13:04
  long the pole is that he's carrying. And
• 13:07
  the door kind of hits against it, making a
• 13:10
  loud. As this
• 13:12
  happens, a, trio of zombies that are
• 13:15
  roaming past the door doorway at the moment. See you guys.
• 13:18
  And start moving into the store, groaning and moaning as
• 13:21
  they do.
• 13:25
  >> Quinn: Zoinks.
• 13:28
  >> Skylar: What is your plan? Are you going to fight
• 13:31
  or are you going to flight? Are you going to see if you
• 13:34
  can try to grab some raincoats? I think, which is
• 13:36
  why you guys were here in the first place.
• 13:38
  >> Quinn: Yeah. there's three of them.
• 13:40
  >> Skylar: Three? Oh, zombies. Yes.
• 13:42
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: But we're in the back there at the very front of the store, and there seems to be
• 13:45
  a pretty reasonable
• 13:48
  rain.
• 13:49
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 13:50
  >> Quinn: What kind of zombie? Are we talking like, dayz zombies? Are we
• 13:53
  talking like Walking Dead slow zombies?
• 13:55
  >> Skylar: Like Walking Dead slow zombies? At least these particular ones are.
• 13:58
  >> Dave: I grab a pair of rain boots next.
• 14:01
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 14:01
  >> Dave: And I chuck it past
• 14:04
  the zombies.
• 14:05
  >> Skylar: okay. Trying to, like, create a distraction.
• 14:07
  >> Dave: Yes. Trying to draw them towards the front of the
• 14:10
  store. They're in the store now, correct?
• 14:12
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 14:12
  >> Dave: So throw it out, like the front.
• 14:14
  >> Skylar: So that they turn around and they start moving towards the boots rather
• 14:17
  than continuing to come back to you guys in the back of the store.
• 14:20
  Yeah. Go for it. do a. I'm gonna call this
• 14:23
  a strength check, since you're trying to throw it across the store
• 14:26
  and also kind of make noise with the boots when they
• 14:29
  hit. So do a strength check. And if you feel like you have a
• 14:32
  skill that relates to this, such as throwing
• 14:35
  or something along those lines, you can feel free to add that
• 14:38
  as well.
• 14:40
  >> Dave: Got a four.
• 14:42
  >> Skylar: And that's with your strength.
• 14:44
  >> Dave: Yep.
• 14:44
  >> Skylar: Oh, boy.
• 14:45
  >> Dave: That's two ones in a row. Roll.
• 14:48
  >> Skylar: They've got to be gone. Right. as you toss
• 14:51
  these boots, they kind of hit against a display and
• 14:54
  then land maybe a few feet away from you. the
• 14:57
  zombies continue their trek towards you, more
• 14:59
  reassured than before. That there is definitely someone over
• 15:02
  there. what about the other two of you? What are you guys doing?
• 15:06
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm gonna whisper to these guys, and this
• 15:08
  is my whispering voice.
• 15:10
  >> Skylar: Just. Cause.
• 15:11
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Whisper into the mic. But maybe
• 15:14
  we should just grab our raincoats and sneak out the
• 15:17
  back door. They can't possibly be intelligent enough to operate
• 15:20
  a door handle. We could hardly operate the
• 15:22
  handle.
• 15:24
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that's true. It took you guys a minute. All right,
• 15:27
  sounds good. let me have you guys
• 15:29
  just do a m. Let's call it a
• 15:32
  dexterity check. If you have anything relating to
• 15:35
  speed or quickness. If
• 15:38
  one of you Wants to try to grab multiple. If one of you
• 15:41
  wants to. You know what?
• 15:44
  >> Quinn: I'm just grabbing raincoats, right?
• 15:46
  >> Skylar: Yeah, just grab some raincoats and go.
• 15:48
  >> Quinn: I'm just trying to grab one for myself.
• 15:50
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Okay, so how do these checks work again? Because
• 15:52
  this. So like, something I would be good
• 15:55
  at, which in turn may make it a good
• 15:58
  opportunity for a bad luck check.
• 16:00
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. if. So, basically the way this works
• 16:03
  is if it's. And I should
• 16:06
  probably be doing this too. So there's different levels of
• 16:09
  difficulty, and there's also different levels of ease. So if it's something
• 16:12
  that's not hard to do, I can give you bonuses.
• 16:15
  Because, like, for instance, this is an average, I would
• 16:18
  say thing to do to grab. Especially because you're racing against zombies. This
• 16:21
  is average. So I could give you guys a plus one
• 16:24
  to your roles just for the fact that it's not hard
• 16:27
  to grab a thing off a shelf that's right next to you and then
• 16:29
  leave. if you have any skills that relate
• 16:32
  to being quick or something along
• 16:35
  those lines. Again, the skills are very broad, which is kind of
• 16:38
  helpful because we can kind of apply them to different
• 16:40
  situations. so if you feel like you have a skill, you can
• 16:43
  also add that to your dice roll. Just let me know
• 16:45
  beforehand. so I can judge whether or not
• 16:48
  it makes sense.
• 16:49
  >> Dave: How sturdy do these zombies look on their
• 16:52
  feet?
• 16:53
  >> Skylar: Not particularly. I mean, these are kind of your classic
• 16:56
  shufflers. Right. Like, they're slow moving, they
• 16:59
  don't go very fast, and they don't
• 17:02
  hold up super well. But they are resilient. Right. Like,
• 17:05
  if you knocked them over, they could pick themselves up
• 17:07
  again. they can take damage because they don't necessarily
• 17:10
  feel pain. Kind of those classic zombies,
• 17:13
  they're not gonna run at you, but they'll keep coming
• 17:16
  and coming and coming until they get you.
• 17:18
  >> Dave: So there's like three of them bunched up.
• 17:20
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 17:21
  >> Dave: I want to take my shaft
• 17:24
  with. So I'm imagining it's one of those ones
• 17:27
  that sits on the floor and it has, like, the
• 17:30
  four prongs, four feet coming off. So it looks like
• 17:33
  a plus sign.
• 17:34
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Yep.
• 17:34
  >> Dave: So I'm going to try to charge them with
• 17:37
  it and knock.
• 17:39
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good. I'm gonna have you basically do a
• 17:42
  contested, strength check against them.
• 17:45
  >> Dave: Since they kind of noticed where I was.
• 17:47
  >> Skylar: Right.
• 17:47
  >> Dave: I imagine I'm like, on the opposite side of the
• 17:50
  store of you guys.
• 17:52
  >> Skylar: Yep. So they're basically just doing strength checks against you, and
• 17:55
  I'll have each one Roll so that, you know, if you knock, you
• 17:58
  don't not knock all of them down. but
• 18:01
  you might not knock all of them down. So you roll strength, and then
• 18:04
  I'll have them roll strength. And if you have something that you feel like adds to the
• 18:07
  strength, feel free to also do it.
• 18:12
  >> Dave: I got seven.
• 18:14
  >> Skylar: A seven. Okay. you run forward
• 18:17
  with this pole outstretch, and you give a harsh
• 18:20
  shove in the direction of these three zombies. two
• 18:23
  of them were kind of stacked, since it's a plus sign.
• 18:25
  Right. There's one that hit this. This,
• 18:28
  angle of it, and two that were kind of stacked on the
• 18:31
  other angle. because the two of them are kind of next
• 18:34
  to each other, and you pushed kind of made them trip over each
• 18:37
  other, and they both kind of get pushed back and knocked down to the
• 18:39
  ground. the other one that is on your. It'd be
• 18:42
  your left side. Does not get knocked down.
• 18:45
  And he is going to, make an attack against
• 18:48
  you. He's going to lunge forward and
• 18:51
  try to bite. That is a 10 plus 2.
• 18:54
  So that's a 12. So he's gonna
• 18:57
  succeed. Did you have any, arm? Did anybody get any
• 19:00
  armor?
• 19:01
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Last time I put on a Steph Curry dress, I
• 19:03
  don't know if that's gonna offer a lot of.
• 19:05
  >> Dave: I think I said something about, like, wrapping
• 19:07
  arms in T shirts. I don't know if I ever actually.
• 19:10
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Did that or that was mainly for, like, inhalation
• 19:13
  PPE protection.
• 19:14
  >> Dave: Oh, yeah, Yeah. I don't think I wrapped. I think I just
• 19:17
  thought. I don't think I actually did it.
• 19:19
  >> Skylar: All right.
• 19:20
  >> Dave: Yeah, we're just.
• 19:20
  >> Skylar: No problem. Dave, you take eight damage
• 19:23
  as this zombie lunges forward and bites you in
• 19:26
  the shoulder, kind, of leaving a real
• 19:28
  nasty, bite, mark there.
• 19:30
  >> Dave: Ah, crap.
• 19:32
  >> Skylar: The other two of you, you guys are both grabbing the
• 19:35
  raincoats. Did you guys do the dexterity roll plus
• 19:38
  whatever? I mean, at this point, it's. I'm gonna
• 19:41
  say because of.
• 19:42
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Is that a thing? Like, am I able to abort that
• 19:45
  and recognize that, we might have to change
• 19:48
  tactics because the cut and run might not work since
• 19:51
  Dave is now.
• 19:52
  >> Skylar: Well, I would say Dave actually made it easier for you guys
• 19:55
  since he blocked the zombie. So I would give you guys a plus three, because
• 19:58
  now this is a moderate, challenge.
• 20:01
  Honestly, it's easy. We'll say plus five because now the
• 20:04
  zombies are literally distracted by somebody else. But
• 20:06
  this is just to grab and be ready to run
• 20:09
  out. You don't have to actually run out but you're just getting
• 20:12
  the, the raincoats.
• 20:15
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So I think because Dave had been
• 20:17
  engaged, I was more or less thinking like, oh, I should run to his
• 20:20
  aid with my. Oh, okay, Mannequin, like
• 20:23
  battering.
• 20:24
  >> Skylar: Okay. Okay.
• 20:25
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So that's kind of, the chain of thought that
• 20:28
  I have pivoted towards.
• 20:29
  >> Quinn: Okay, yeah, I'm gonna have to run with my
• 20:31
  scissors.
• 20:32
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm trying to run with scissors.
• 20:37
  >> Quinn: I'm gonna break the scissors apart.
• 20:38
  >> Skylar: Right.
• 20:38
  >> Quinn: So I have two knives in both hands. Right.
• 20:40
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 20:41
  >> Quinn: Okay, I'm gonna go attack.
• 20:42
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. So both of you guys are running over. Are you just trying to
• 20:45
  bash it?
• 20:46
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I am, like lowering the head of said mannequin and it
• 20:49
  just looks like a battering ram and it is head is aimed
• 20:52
  right at the sternum of said zombie.
• 20:54
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. I will have you do another one of those
• 20:57
  contested strength checks against the zombie.
• 21:00
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So an 8 and then what do you like?
• 21:03
  >> Skylar: So you.
• 21:03
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: What is your modifier again?
• 21:05
  >> Skylar: just whatever your strength would be.
• 21:06
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So 10.
• 21:07
  >> Skylar: Oh, 10. Total. Awesome. Okay, so you successfully
• 21:10
  managed to rush forward, slamming the mannequin
• 21:13
  head into the zombies sternum, as you say his, his
• 21:16
  center. knocking him to the ground,
• 21:18
  dropping the bags of merchandise that had already been
• 21:21
  purchased by this zombie. And as the
• 21:24
  zombie lays there kind of reaching out,
• 21:26
  Quinn, you're rushing up and just starting to just
• 21:29
  stab down to this zombie.
• 21:32
  >> Quinn: Shooting it, going for that.
• 21:34
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 21:34
  >> Quinn: Trying to break through that.
• 21:36
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. I'm gonna give you a roll to attack, but I'm
• 21:39
  gonna make it a moderate. So that's a plus
• 21:41
  three that you get to add to this roll. And if
• 21:44
  you have like anything with knives, which I don't think you
• 21:47
  do.
• 21:48
  >> Quinn: Seven. you add.
• 21:49
  >> Skylar: So seven plus dexterity.
• 21:51
  >> Quinn: Nine.
• 21:52
  >> Skylar: Nine. And then, and then the plus three to
• 21:54
  succeed. So you're at a 11.
• 21:57
  12. 12. Okay. So yeah, you successfully, attack
• 22:00
  the zombies. You come down, you start stabbing with them, roll the damage for Those
• 22:03
  scissors.
• 22:04
  >> Quinn: D4 times Strength times strength.
• 22:06
  >> Skylar: So you do. Yep. Because
• 22:09
  they're small.
• 22:10
  >> Quinn: Five.
• 22:11
  >> Skylar: Five. Okay. So you hit the zombie. You
• 22:14
  start stabbing into the zombie, for a total of five
• 22:17
  damage. it moans and groans and
• 22:19
  struggles. Obviously it's got three guys basically
• 22:22
  on top of him. at the moment it is unable
• 22:25
  to do anything, trying to pick itself up. But that's kind
• 22:28
  of the extent of it. But whatever the case, you guys look
• 22:31
  over and you see that the other two zombies that David knocked down a
• 22:34
  moment ago are starting to pick themselves up off the ground.
• 22:37
  What are you guys. Are you guys gonna stick around and continue to fight, or are you
• 22:40
  guys gonna grab your raincoats and leave?
• 22:43
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I think at this point, we should maybe cut our
• 22:45
  losses. We should probably tend to
• 22:48
  Dave's wounds or see if it is something that we
• 22:51
  may need to put him out of his
• 22:53
  misery or if a little
• 22:56
  bit of bastard will do the trick.
• 22:58
  >> Skylar: You guys better make a quick decision, because those zombies are
• 23:01
  picking themselves up.
• 23:03
  >> Dave: I'm running out the door.
• 23:05
  >> Skylar: All right. Are you grabbing a raincoat on the way out? I'm not gonna make you
• 23:08
  guys roll at this point. You might as well.
• 23:10
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I will grab a ring coat.
• 23:11
  >> Quinn: Yeah.
• 23:12
  >> Skylar: Okay. All right.
• 23:12
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So I get this Steph Curry jersey all covered in
• 23:15
  filth.
• 23:16
  >> Skylar: That's true. You're thankful you did the battering ram. I think, Quinn, you
• 23:19
  might have a little bit of blood on whatever you were wearing just
• 23:22
  from the stab wounds, but not here.
• 23:24
  >> Dave: I am not. I'm taking off my belt.
• 23:28
  What? So I just run. Run ahead of
• 23:31
  you guys. I, get outside.
• 23:33
  >> Skylar: Oh.
• 23:33
  >> Dave: I start taking my belt off and
• 23:36
  wrapping it around my arm, my
• 23:39
  shoulder. I pull it
• 23:42
  as tight as I can. I'm like, oh, crap, I gotta find
• 23:45
  something. so I start looking
• 23:48
  around in the back hallway for.
• 23:51
  I don't know, like.
• 23:54
  I don't know what would be back there, really.
• 23:56
  >> Skylar: Maybe, like, a mop thing. Yeah,
• 23:59
  mop handle or.
• 24:01
  >> Dave: Yeah, mop probably.
• 24:03
  >> Skylar: Okay. Yeah. I mean, there's. Yeah, there's probably one around there. Or,
• 24:06
  like. Yeah.
• 24:06
  >> Dave: I don't know if there's, like, a utility cart or something.
• 24:09
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I'd say so. there is a utility cart,
• 24:12
  but there is a. What looks like some kind of
• 24:15
  janitorial just sitting there
• 24:18
  unmoving about two feet away from
• 24:21
  it in this hallway.
• 24:25
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: and this hallway is dark.
• 24:26
  >> Skylar: It's flickering lights, but some of them
• 24:29
  aren't flickering. So it's moderately well lighted.
• 24:32
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: And this hallway leads back to, like, the main concourse.
• 24:34
  And.
• 24:35
  >> Skylar: Yeah, so basically, you would follow it for a little bit, then you would take a
• 24:38
  left or. Where did I put that map?
• 24:43
  >> Quinn: Yeah.
• 24:44
  >> Skylar: you would take a left, and that would take you back up to
• 24:46
  the main walkway that ends up going past
• 24:49
  cover to cover the bookstore. It goes past Chester's Fun
• 24:52
  Time Zone, and it leads. Or it ends
• 24:55
  at Sporties Sports Goods.
• 24:58
  Chester's Fun Time
• 25:01
  Zone.
• 25:02
  >> Dave: Well, I'm gonna walk up to the
• 25:05
  cart. I probably. I don't know, just try to find
• 25:08
  the, screwdriver on top of it or something.
• 25:10
  >> Skylar: Okay. you reach to get the screwdriver. And then
• 25:13
  you hear a.
• 25:17
  And you look down and the janitor starts
• 25:20
  to turn his head and he
• 25:23
  goes,
• 25:25
  hey.
• 25:29
  >> Speaker F: Are you a
• 25:31
  survivor?
• 25:35
  >> Dave: I'm working on it.
• 25:39
  >> Skylar: And, a frail little
• 25:41
  old man in a, in a gray sort of
• 25:44
  button down shirt starts to pick.
• 25:46
  >> Speaker F: Himself up off the floor. And he says,
• 25:49
  well, I thought everyone
• 25:52
  was dead.
• 25:53
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: We thought you were dead.
• 25:57
  >> Speaker F: No, I'm okay. I'm okay. I
• 26:00
  ran in here after I started
• 26:03
  seeing just hell break loose out
• 26:06
  there.
• 26:07
  >> Quinn: my buddy here had. My body's got some, some wounds. Do you
• 26:09
  know, do you got any medical supplies anywhere around
• 26:13
  around here?
• 26:14
  >> Speaker F: Oh, no. You probably had to go to the whole other side of
• 26:17
  the mall if you wanted to get to, like, the
• 26:20
  pharmacy.
• 26:21
  >> Dave: I grabbed some bleach off the cart and pour it
• 26:24
  on my tongue.
• 26:25
  >> Skylar: All right. And it stings
• 26:28
  horribly. It stings horribly.
• 26:31
  burning. Burning your skin.
• 26:32
  >> Speaker F: Oh, jeez, kid, what are you
• 26:35
  doing?
• 26:35
  >> Quinn: Harry, you might need some more. I find the pine salt.
• 26:39
  >> Skylar: You guys aren't going to be careful and you're going to create some kind
• 26:42
  of noxious feature.
• 26:43
  >> Quinn: That's where I was going with it.
• 26:45
  >> Dave: Give me the ammonia.
• 26:46
  >> Skylar: Yeah, there it is.
• 26:49
  >> Speaker F: You're doing. Are you okay? That's a pretty ugly
• 26:52
  wound you got there. Kind of looks like mine.
• 26:54
  >> Skylar: And he turns around and sure enough, on the. On his
• 26:57
  side, he's got this huge gash mark as
• 27:00
  well.
• 27:01
  >> Dave: When did you get that?
• 27:02
  >> Speaker F: Oh, let's see. They opened the doors
• 27:05
  at 6, and about 10
• 27:08
  minutes later, some old lady
• 27:11
  bit me. And at first I thought she was being
• 27:13
  flirty,
• 27:17
  but then I saw blood
• 27:19
  just in black ooze just dripping from
• 27:22
  every orifice and
• 27:25
  scared the jeebies out of me.
• 27:28
  And I looked around and I saw more people
• 27:31
  like that. So I ran into these tunnels
• 27:34
  and I took a nap
• 27:37
  because I felt a little bit safe, but mostly
• 27:40
  tired. And,
• 27:42
  then I woke up and you were there. Are they all still
• 27:45
  out there?
• 27:47
  >> Dave: There's, definitely some out there. We just saw some in that
• 27:50
  store.
• 27:51
  >> Speaker F: Oh, darn. I was hoping they'd just go
• 27:53
  away.
• 27:54
  >> Skylar: Hey.
• 27:54
  >> Dave: How are you? How are you feeling?
• 27:56
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Oh, no odd cravings?
• 27:59
  >> Skylar: Oh, I don't know.
• 28:00
  >> Speaker F: I could go for a slice of pizza. Did you bring
• 28:03
  any?
• 28:05
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: No pizza here.
• 28:06
  >> Speaker F: Oh, shoot.
• 28:07
  >> Dave: and I'm also. So at this point, I
• 28:10
  like, stab the screwdriver through the
• 28:12
  belt. Like. Or put. I don't know. I don't know
• 28:15
  actually how it would work, but
• 28:18
  I imagine I like, put it through
• 28:22
  one of the holes and like stab it through the other side
• 28:24
  and twist it.
• 28:26
  >> Skylar: Twist it real tight. And once again, it hurts. It
• 28:29
  hurts quite a bit. but yeah, you make a kind.
• 28:31
  >> Dave: Of makeshift tourniquet where on the
• 28:33
  shoulder is.
• 28:35
  >> Skylar: so I'd say kind of like the side of the shoulder.
• 28:37
  >> Dave: Okay, well that's the best shoulder scenario.
• 28:40
  >> Quinn: Yeah, like your Delta screwed
• 28:43
  brother.
• 28:44
  >> Speaker F: It's wrong. It doesn't look like it's bleeding
• 28:47
  that much.
• 28:48
  >> Dave: Well, I'm more worried about infection at
• 28:51
  this point.
• 28:51
  >> Speaker F: Oh, shoot, I didn't even think about that.
• 28:54
  Man, who knows where that old lady's dentures
• 28:57
  were before she bit me. Where are you
• 29:00
  guys going?
• 29:01
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: We were trying to, stock up just because we don't know
• 29:04
  how long this is gonna last and we kind of wanted to
• 29:07
  hole up in some store with a decent defense
• 29:09
  and try last this thing
• 29:12
  out.
• 29:13
  >> Speaker F: Oh, that's a great idea. In fact, I
• 29:16
  was just about to.
• 29:17
  >> Skylar: And then just before you can finish that sentence you heard
• 29:20
  on a little walkie talkie that's on his belt. And
• 29:23
  it's sort of like a pre setup message. And it
• 29:25
  says to any survivors that are in the
• 29:28
  mall, be advised the military
• 29:31
  has completely surrounded the facility. No
• 29:34
  one is allowed in or out for fear of
• 29:37
  possible contamination. If you are a
• 29:39
  survivor, you must last until
• 29:42
  midnight and make it to the rooftop where we will
• 29:45
  land a chopper and pick you up. I
• 29:48
  repeat, at midnight, we will land a chopper
• 29:51
  on the roof of the mall for any
• 29:53
  survivors to escape.
• 29:56
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Well, there's our time frame.
• 29:58
  >> Speaker F: That was awfully convenient.
• 30:01
  >> Quinn: Oh, that was crazy. Well, I guess we
• 30:03
  better not barricade. We better figure out how to get up to the
• 30:06
  roof.
• 30:08
  >> Speaker F: Can I come, with you guys?
• 30:11
  >> Quinn: I mean, human shield, I suppose.
• 30:14
  >> Speaker F: Perfect.
• 30:15
  >> Cameron: This is me, your subconscious human shield.
• 30:20
  >> Quinn: Only we had a. Only we had a fifth. We can be like a
• 30:23
  full.
• 30:23
  >> Speaker F: We also have to survive.
• 30:25
  >> Dave: What time is it now? Oh, so it's.
• 30:27
  >> Skylar: So It'd be almost 7 o'clock if not.
• 30:30
  Well, because the mall doors opened at 6. You guys
• 30:33
  awoke from your, your place at 6:30 and then
• 30:36
  you rushed over to the mall. So it's close to seven at this
• 30:38
  point. So you guys about. Oh shoot,
• 30:41
  that's like five hours.
• 30:43
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Five hours of stuff.
• 30:44
  >> Skylar: This is right, seven to midnight.
• 30:47
  >> Dave: Yeah, no, seven in the morning.
• 30:50
  >> Skylar: No, no, no, no, no. It's 7pm Remember how black
• 30:53
  Friday became Thanksgiving
• 30:55
  afternoon and it just kept getting earlier and
• 30:58
  earlier? Yeah.
• 31:00
  >> Cameron: Now they started the Black Friday sales like a week prior to
• 31:02
  Black Friday.
• 31:03
  >> Skylar: Black Friday didn't even exist, exist anymore.
• 31:06
  >> Cameron: Good, good Riddance.
• 31:07
  >> Skylar: It's true. It's pretty messed up. okay,
• 31:09
  so you guys, continue down the service
• 31:12
  hall, and you finally come to that end point
• 31:15
  where you take a left and it leads right
• 31:18
  past the bookstore.
• 31:20
  And then you would be
• 31:23
  entering into.
• 31:24
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Kind of the main corridor, looking both
• 31:27
  ways. Do you see, would
• 31:30
  be to.
• 31:30
  >> Skylar: Your left, all the way there.
• 31:33
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Looking through that corridor, do we see
• 31:35
  any signs of zombie
• 31:38
  hordes crossing the main concourse?
• 31:41
  >> Skylar: they don't seem to be interested in this particular area.
• 31:44
  But you do see, you know, the occasional one walk
• 31:46
  by on the main sort of pathway that
• 31:49
  this will eventually lead into. As you guys,
• 31:53
  I will say this, as you guys are kind of
• 31:55
  walking down this little corridor here, there are
• 31:58
  windows, into the COVID to cover bookstore.
• 32:01
  And you actually see that there seems to be some
• 32:04
  survivors inside. You, see a man who
• 32:07
  is kind of just lounged against some,
• 32:10
  bookshelves nearby. There's, like a coffee
• 32:13
  shop at the far end that you can see. And there seems to be a
• 32:16
  dude that's just kind of leaned against the counter over
• 32:19
  there. He's on his phone. so you see some
• 32:22
  people, and they don't seem to be zombified, obviously.
• 32:24
  Otherwise they wouldn't be on their phone. so you see some people that seem to be
• 32:27
  inside this bookstore.
• 32:29
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Well, what do you think? Should we
• 32:32
  join forces with those guys? Or is our small
• 32:35
  elite unit.
• 32:37
  >> Quinn: I might as well go see what's going on. Could
• 32:39
  always join, you know, add another person to the group.
• 32:43
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Their strength in numbers.
• 32:46
  >> Skylar: But then the question remains, how will you get into the
• 32:49
  bookstore?
• 32:50
  >> Quinn: The front door is closed, right?
• 32:52
  >> Skylar: Well, you can't see the front door. Well, I guess eventually you would
• 32:55
  walk to a point where you can see through the window in the
• 32:58
  hallway that you're at, and you can see the front doors. And it looks
• 33:01
  like, a couple of people are standing guard by where
• 33:04
  the front doors would be. And instead of just kind of a big
• 33:07
  opening like you'd normally see at a mall store, it seems like they
• 33:10
  have taken bookcases and they have pushed
• 33:13
  them in front of this opening to kind of create a makeshift
• 33:16
  barricade.
• 33:17
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Do any of these people notice
• 33:20
  us standing on the outside looking in?
• 33:23
  >> Skylar: Do you try to get their attention?
• 33:26
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yes.
• 33:27
  >> Quinn: Yes.
• 33:27
  >> Skylar: Okay. All right, so you guys, I mean, what are you doing?
• 33:29
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Because I'm going to kind of hoist the mannequin on my
• 33:32
  shoulders and kind of wave them back and forth like one of those used
• 33:35
  car.
• 33:36
  >> Skylar: Oh, it's like, oh, dance a man yeah.
• 33:39
  All right, so you wave and sure enough, a couple of people,
• 33:42
  start coming over to you to
• 33:45
  try to communicate to you through the glass. And it's a little
• 33:48
  bit warped for sure, but, you can definitely hear the
• 33:51
  voices on the other side. The people that you see are
• 33:54
  a, ah, woman that's wearing a little name tag
• 33:57
  that suggests that she may be a staff
• 34:00
  member here at the bookstore. Cover to
• 34:03
  cover. the other person is a mustachioed
• 34:06
  young man in a green
• 34:08
  shirt with a pocket on
• 34:11
  it and a pen in said
• 34:14
  pocket. I think
• 34:17
  it's Jackson.
• 34:20
  And the woman says, are you guys and you guys
• 34:23
  okay? Can you hear me?
• 34:26
  >> Quinn: Yeah, yeah, we're good.
• 34:30
  >> Skylar: Are you injured at all?
• 34:32
  >> Quinn: No.
• 34:33
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Do we tell them?
• 34:34
  >> Quinn: No, he bleached it. We're fine.
• 34:36
  >> Skylar: That kills everything.
• 34:38
  >> Dave: yeah, I hurt my shoulder.
• 34:41
  >> Skylar: Were you, were you, were any of
• 34:43
  you bitten?
• 34:45
  >> Dave: No.
• 34:48
  >> Skylar: If you want to get inside, the safest way is to
• 34:51
  go through the barista entrance, but you'll
• 34:54
  have to go through the main hallway.
• 34:56
  >> Dave: What is this there a bookstore?
• 34:58
  >> Skylar: Yeah. So this is the COVID to cover bookstore. And as you can
• 35:01
  see, if you go across the main hallway as if you were
• 35:04
  going towards Sporty's, there's another sort of like
• 35:07
  service entrance space that goes straight
• 35:10
  down to the Espresso
• 35:12
  Yourself coffee shop.
• 35:15
  that is on the other side of the bookstore and there's a back
• 35:18
  door there that let you into the coffee shop, which therefore
• 35:21
  gives you access to the bookstore.
• 35:23
  >> Cameron: Wait, I'm sorry, timeout. What, what store am I in now?
• 35:26
  >> Skylar: You're in cover to cover. Sorry, I adjusted.
• 35:28
  >> Quinn: So.
• 35:29
  >> Cameron: Gotcha. Cuz we weren't, they weren't coming over that way. Yeah, yeah,
• 35:32
  I understand.
• 35:33
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Did you guys hear the message from the
• 35:35
  military?
• 35:36
  >> Skylar: Yeah, we got a guy over here that's from the news. He said
• 35:39
  he, he got a communication from his
• 35:42
  work. They have news people outside
• 35:45
  too.
• 35:46
  >> Quinn: Is there a way up to the roof through the
• 35:48
  bookstore?
• 35:50
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Probably a question best directed at the handyman.
• 35:54
  >> Quinn: what's the best way to get up to the roof?
• 35:56
  >> Speaker F: Oh yeah, that's right. We gotta get to the roof. well,
• 35:59
  let's see. there's one in the security
• 36:02
  office.
• 36:03
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Which side of the mall is that on?
• 36:05
  >> Speaker F: The other one.
• 36:05
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Of course, of course.
• 36:08
  >> Speaker F: It's just, it's past the food court.
• 36:11
  Hey, it's past the pharmacy.
• 36:13
  >> Quinn: Oh, he doesn't need the
• 36:15
  pharmacy.
• 36:17
  >> Dave: Oh, yeah, I did look at him.
• 36:19
  >> Quinn: No, I look at him very sternly. He doesn't need the
• 36:21
  pharmacy.
• 36:23
  >> Speaker F: It's kind, of over by, the furniture store. You can
• 36:26
  access it from the furniture store.
• 36:28
  >> Quinn: You guys can't get there. You guys can't get to the roof through
• 36:31
  the bookstore. You guys need to come with us. We might as well go and try and get a
• 36:33
  couple guns.
• 36:34
  >> Dave: They're not letting us into cover to cover.
• 36:37
  >> Skylar: Well, it's not that they're not letting you guys. So they're like, if you guys can get
• 36:40
  around here, we can't move the barricade because zombies would get.
• 36:42
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: But once we get in the bookstore, what is your guys
• 36:45
  escape plan?
• 36:47
  >> Skylar: Well, I mean, going out
• 36:50
  into the main hallway is just, completely
• 36:52
  unsafe. Have you seen how many zombies are out there?
• 36:55
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: There is a lot. But it would be nice to get out of
• 36:58
  here for good because
• 37:01
  this bookstore just seems like a temporary fix. Who
• 37:04
  knows, maybe those hordes will knock down the
• 37:06
  barricades and then we're all just sitting ducks.
• 37:09
  >> Skylar: Well, we have somebody in here that's sick.
• 37:13
  And we have somebody in here that's looking for their kid.
• 37:16
  And yeah, so we're a little bit of a
• 37:19
  predicament.
• 37:20
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Maybe if you guys hold tight here and we can get a small
• 37:23
  band to the roof and you can
• 37:27
  last for as long as need be, we can direct
• 37:30
  reinforcements to you if the military is willing
• 37:32
  to exercise.
• 37:35
  >> Skylar: I mean. Yeah, that'd be nice. or if you
• 37:38
  guys could like get a
• 37:40
  vehicle and drive us through.
• 37:43
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: The mall, maybe I could keep our
• 37:46
  eyes peeled. Maybe there's
• 37:49
  one of those sweepstakes
• 37:51
  that take place in the middle where you can put your name in a box
• 37:54
  and you win a jeep.
• 37:56
  >> Skylar: Well, there's the be a dealership. I think they had
• 37:59
  a car. What is it a be a parent? Oh, and then,
• 38:02
  oh, the National Guard thing.
• 38:05
  They have like a jeep or something.
• 38:07
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: But you probably have to do like a certain amount of pull ups to use the jeep or
• 38:10
  something. That's all. Those recruiting offices always
• 38:12
  work.
• 38:13
  >> Skylar: Well, do you not like pull ups?
• 38:15
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm kind of scrawny. I'm not. Not very good at
• 38:18
  those.
• 38:19
  >> Skylar: Well, so what are we doing here?
• 38:21
  >> Quinn: I think you guys should.
• 38:22
  >> Skylar: You can chime in too.
• 38:24
  >> Quinn: Any of you that wants to come with us and get to the roof, you can. Otherwise
• 38:27
  you do you.
• 38:28
  >> Cameron: I will go ahead and join you guys. My name's Jackson
• 38:31
  in case you guys needed formalities.
• 38:33
  >> Quinn: Is that a pot and pan?
• 38:35
  >> Cameron: I have a knife.
• 38:38
  >> Quinn: Oh, great. He can lead the way.
• 38:40
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: We could always use some muscle. What if we meet you
• 38:43
  over by the barista stand? Or how thick is this
• 38:46
  glass, it's pretty thick.
• 38:48
  >> Quinn: It's pretty thick.
• 38:49
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Better not open up another entrance.
• 38:51
  >> Skylar: They make a lot of noise too.
• 38:52
  >> Cameron: I'm on the inside of COVID to cover.
• 38:54
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 38:55
  >> Cameron: There's a horde.
• 38:56
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 38:58
  >> Cameron: And I'm. I'm trying to get out or
• 39:01
  they're trying to get in.
• 39:02
  >> Skylar: It's kind of up in the air. It kind of seems like they want
• 39:05
  to not necessarily get in, but be able to meet you at
• 39:08
  the same spot that you could safely get in or out, which
• 39:11
  is over by the baristas.
• 39:13
  >> Cameron: What if.
• 39:14
  >> Dave: Maybe if there'd be something at
• 39:18
  Keen Picture that we could use to
• 39:21
  distract the zombies, like a
• 39:24
  shutter flash or a robot
• 39:27
  dog. Oh,
• 39:30
  you know, one of those annoying ones that keeps
• 39:32
  barking. Oh, could be, you know,
• 39:35
  like Call of Duty. There's the. You throw the monkey with the
• 39:38
  symbols. Dynamite.
• 39:43
  Be like that. It's just. It wouldn't explode.
• 39:45
  Or maybe like a remote control car.
• 39:48
  >> Quinn: That's a great idea.
• 39:49
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that's a pretty good idea.
• 39:52
  The question is, who's gonna go run
• 39:55
  over?
• 39:57
  >> Quinn: We said we would just have to go through the back hallway. Wouldn't.
• 39:59
  >> Dave: Is that a photo store? I'm thinking of like a sharper
• 40:01
  image.
• 40:02
  >> Skylar: Right, right. Okay.
• 40:03
  >> Quinn: Oh, wait, hang on. Isn't there like a hobby RC
• 40:06
  car store right next to it?
• 40:09
  How could we forget this?
• 40:12
  >> Skylar: Fast fad hobbies.
• 40:15
  I like that badly.
• 40:17
  >> Quinn: Fast.
• 40:18
  >> Dave: It's fad.
• 40:22
  >> Skylar: I'll try it out. All right, so yes, there
• 40:24
  is a. There is a right next to the rainy day for
• 40:27
  you store. There is a fast fad
• 40:30
  hobbies store that, you guys know,
• 40:33
  sometimes carries some various like, ah,
• 40:35
  RC related, or
• 40:38
  robotic dog. Maybe
• 40:41
  obscure electronic hobby
• 40:44
  toys.
• 40:45
  >> Dave: Maybe they have drones.
• 40:47
  >> Skylar: Oh, and very probably drones.
• 40:49
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Or maybe even some
• 40:52
  discs. Maybe uses like
• 40:54
  a projectile like disc golf disc. That's a hobby,
• 40:57
  but might be in the sporting goods store.
• 41:00
  >> Skylar: Maybe in the sporting goods store. I can give you guys
• 41:03
  so much.
• 41:04
  >> Cameron: I mean, what do you have in a hobby store? You get
• 41:07
  your model cars, you got your art rc, you've
• 41:10
  got puzzles. puzzles.
• 41:13
  So, what if we.
• 41:14
  >> Quinn: What if we took like an RC car and had it make
• 41:17
  noise or something, you know, and we were able to
• 41:19
  draw the zombies into Chester's fun time.
• 41:23
  Fun time zone.
• 41:24
  >> Dave: Oh, and it just. All the noise in there would
• 41:27
  discombobulate.
• 41:28
  >> Quinn: Oh, it'd be crazy.
• 41:29
  >> Dave: Well, are they already like, surrounding that place or
• 41:31
  what?
• 41:32
  >> Skylar: No, because I think the doors are closed,
• 41:35
  of, of that spot. But I mean, you could take them down that
• 41:38
  hallway towards that Direction. I mean, that would get you.
• 41:41
  Get them out of the way at the very least. I think, I think this is
• 41:44
  a solid plan, guys. If you're going for
• 41:47
  it, you guys start to. You guys go
• 41:50
  back down the service entrance and move over
• 41:53
  a couple of stores. before getting to
• 41:55
  Fast Fad Hobbies,
• 42:15
  you guys go, around the corner
• 42:17
  and you reach for the Fast Fad
• 42:20
  Hobbies store and it is
• 42:23
  locked. And the janitor man says, oh, don't.
• 42:26
  >> Speaker F: Worry, I got that covered.
• 42:27
  >> Skylar: And he grabs a big old thing of keys and he opens it up
• 42:30
  for you.
• 42:31
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Ooh, lucky break there.
• 42:33
  >> Speaker F: Yeah, I've got a whole bunch of these keys on this key
• 42:36
  ring. I've been working here forever. That's one of the
• 42:38
  hardest things to train new guys on is which keys
• 42:41
  go to what? Because they're not labeled. You just got to
• 42:44
  know, oh, gosh.
• 42:46
  >> Dave: That seems like a terrible idea.
• 42:48
  >> Speaker F: You know, on one hand, I don't disagree.
• 42:52
  On the other hand, it makes sure that they don't fire
• 42:55
  me.
• 42:57
  >> Skylar: You think they give you a 400? You think they give you
• 43:00
  a 401k here?
• 43:01
  >> Speaker F: No siree. I've got
• 43:04
  nothing to retire on, so I'll be here until the day
• 43:07
  I die. Which might be sooner than I
• 43:09
  thought.
• 43:12
  Just a little humor to break
• 43:15
  up the scary stuff. Anyways, let's
• 43:18
  go get us a cool RC car.
• 43:21
  Back in my day, it was Matchbox
• 43:24
  and Hot Wheels.
• 43:26
  >> Skylar: That was a little bit after my.
• 43:27
  >> Speaker F: Day, but I digress.
• 43:29
  >> Skylar: he opens up the door and you
• 43:32
  see kind of like a big track, like a almost
• 43:35
  dirt style track that they've got kind of in the middle of the
• 43:38
  store where people can race their cars. There's, there's
• 43:41
  cars that have just kind of are. They're
• 43:44
  actively like running, but their tires are just spinning because
• 43:47
  they've slammed into one of the walls. And they're either tipped over
• 43:50
  or they just can't go any further. And at the other
• 43:52
  end of this track, you can see a couple of zombies that are both
• 43:55
  just kind of standing there holding controllers.
• 43:58
  And they just have the button, like, pressed all the way to one
• 44:01
  end, and they're just, they're just completely just out
• 44:04
  of it.
• 44:04
  >> Cameron: Store sounds rad. Dirt track to drive your
• 44:07
  little RC cars on.
• 44:08
  >> Skylar: That's right.
• 44:09
  >> Cameron: I'd be there every day.
• 44:10
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 44:10
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Does this store support any other hobbies?
• 44:13
  >> Skylar: yes. You see, I mean, it's a RC
• 44:16
  pretty much across the board. Planes,
• 44:18
  cars, you see.
• 44:20
  >> Quinn: Drones, automobiles, trains.
• 44:22
  >> Skylar: Yeah, they've got like, the train sets and stuff like that. There's
• 44:25
  definitely like just anything that's like semi
• 44:28
  hobby robotics. So I would say, oh,
• 44:30
  man, they got like battle bot sets because
• 44:33
  that's cool. Not anything huge.
• 44:36
  It's not like, not necessarily like active.
• 44:39
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Hobbies like you are out and about.
• 44:42
  More like controller, rc
• 44:45
  robots.
• 44:46
  >> Skylar: Very geeky.
• 44:47
  >> Cameron: They have a small wall in the very back of just
• 44:49
  Gundams.
• 44:50
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yes, again, I thought I might not.
• 44:53
  >> Skylar: Because there's another store that carries those. oh, okay.
• 44:55
  Because most mall or many malls have
• 44:58
  a Weeb store.
• 45:00
  >> Cameron: That's true.
• 45:01
  >> Skylar: That's where that kind of stuff usually you don't want to compete.
• 45:04
  That's a key thing with malls is like you, you want to be
• 45:07
  a niche. You want to have something that other stores don't
• 45:10
  have, but you don't want to step on the other store's toes, especially in the
• 45:13
  same mall, because then you're just, you're splitting your
• 45:15
  audience. So you gotta get real nitty gritty with it. And this
• 45:18
  place is real nitty gritty with rc.
• 45:21
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So the Scuba hobby store is elsewhere.
• 45:24
  >> Skylar: Scuba probably is going to be in the sports store.
• 45:27
  The sports store is big and pays a lot of money to be there.
• 45:30
  So they get to be broad.
• 45:31
  >> Quinn: Is there anything like stabby,
• 45:34
  stabby we could like, find out. There's got to be something sharp
• 45:37
  in there.
• 45:38
  >> Skylar: Sure. there's definitely like some tool kits.
• 45:41
  So you could get maybe some screwdrivers.
• 45:43
  >> Quinn: stuff like that.
• 45:44
  >> Skylar: I mean, they're just gonna be your typical screwdrivers. And I'm just
• 45:47
  gonna tell you right now, they're gonna have the exact same stats
• 45:50
  as your scissors do.
• 45:51
  >> Quinn: Yeah. I'm just saying for these guys, he's got a freaking mannequin.
• 45:54
  >> Skylar: That's true. That's true.
• 45:56
  >> Quinn: I go over and find a couple screwdrivers in one of these
• 45:59
  packs.
• 45:59
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 46:00
  >> Quinn: I throw it over to Fatty and I go, here. Ain't much, but
• 46:03
  it's better than what you got.
• 46:05
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: It is probably a little more agile, better for
• 46:07
  close quarters.
• 46:09
  >> Dave: I go to one of the walls
• 46:11
  and find a. So I imagine
• 46:14
  they have model planes in here.
• 46:16
  >> Skylar: Absolutely.
• 46:17
  >> Dave: Larger model planes. They get pretty big.
• 46:20
  Find the propeller for that.
• 46:23
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. All right. Yeah, you absolutely find one of
• 46:25
  those. You pull it down and I'm gonna call that
• 46:28
  a basically, a short sword. Write that down.
• 46:31
  Just make sure to label it propeller. But you can take the same
• 46:34
  stats as a short sword. And
• 46:37
  yeah, you have that in your hands. the two zombies that are
• 46:40
  over there with the remote controls don't seem to really notice you
• 46:43
  guys, they're, a bit more heavyset dudes
• 46:46
  in striped shirts. One, of them is
• 46:48
  alternating red and white, and the other one
• 46:51
  is alternating blue and white. But, whatever the case, you.
• 46:54
  Okay, so you guys are in the store. What, your goal was to get
• 46:57
  something to create a distraction. What are you guys going for?
• 46:59
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So do we need to dispatch these two zombies so that we
• 47:02
  can come up with a more
• 47:06
  concrete distraction, or is
• 47:09
  our distraction going to distract these and then
• 47:12
  draw the entire horde away from the
• 47:14
  bookstore?
• 47:15
  >> Dave: I think we need to take these ones out.
• 47:17
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: That would just give us. Yeah, I think I agree. That would give us
• 47:20
  more working room to devise a
• 47:25
  well schemed distraction.
• 47:27
  >> Quinn: All right, there's how many of them? Two of them.
• 47:28
  >> Dave: So maybe, maybe we could create a
• 47:30
  localized distraction to keep their
• 47:33
  attention away from us. And you guys sneak up
• 47:36
  on, you know, stab those screwdrivers in
• 47:39
  their back of their skulls.
• 47:41
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: That sounds like a plan.
• 47:43
  >> Skylar: All right, so what is your localized
• 47:46
  distraction?
• 47:47
  >> Quinn: I think the localized distraction should be Dave.
• 47:51
  >> Cameron: You just throw him out there.
• 47:54
  >> Skylar: Push.
• 47:55
  >> Quinn: Come get me, zombie.
• 47:56
  >> Skylar: I've already been bit.
• 47:58
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: This might be a good opportunity for me to
• 48:01
  strategically place the mannequin. And then it just has
• 48:04
  to draw their attention, and then we
• 48:07
  can come up behind and surprise him.
• 48:09
  >> Dave: How about you place the mannequin? I'll, be
• 48:12
  its voice. I'll stand behind
• 48:15
  it, and then they'll get confused, and if
• 48:18
  they attack, they'll attack it.
• 48:20
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: That sounds like a plan.
• 48:21
  >> Dave: I don't want to give any more than I already.
• 48:25
  >> Skylar: All right, so you, you hand the
• 48:28
  mannequin over to Dave. Dave, what
• 48:31
  do you, give me, give me the scene here.
• 48:34
  >> Dave: All right, so I set it up in the
• 48:36
  aisle, adjacent to them. And while these
• 48:39
  guys, they kind of loop around,
• 48:42
  I don't maybe go wide around the dirt track
• 48:45
  all the way around.
• 48:47
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 48:47
  >> Dave: And come up behind them are from that
• 48:50
  side. Once they get into position, I stand
• 48:53
  right up behind the mannequin and
• 48:56
  I wave its arm and say, oh,
• 48:59
  boy.
• 49:00
  >> Skylar: Hello.
• 49:03
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I don't know if we ever extinguished. Yeah.
• 49:06
  Was this mannequin a. Which gender was the
• 49:09
  mannequin? Obviously you can't see the
• 49:11
  genitals, but it usually does have something in
• 49:14
  its torso.
• 49:15
  >> Skylar: Curvy elements for sure. On its upper
• 49:18
  half, it's, got a bosom. Sure. Yes,
• 49:21
  exactly. so, yes. Okay, you wave the
• 49:23
  zombies, turn around and holding
• 49:26
  their controller still in the go position,
• 49:29
  they start sort of sauntering
• 49:32
  towards you and, aggressively approaching the
• 49:35
  mannequin are you doing
• 49:38
  anything following up? Are you like, leading
• 49:41
  them somewhere?
• 49:42
  >> Dave: Nope.
• 49:43
  >> Skylar: All right, so they're just approaching.
• 49:45
  >> Dave: When they get close, I'm going to take off one of
• 49:48
  the mannequins arms and throw it on the
• 49:51
  ground.
• 49:53
  >> Skylar: Okay. you pick up the mannequin
• 49:56
  or you pull the mannequin, pop it out of its little
• 49:59
  holder, pipe piece, whatever, you toss it on the ground.
• 50:02
  One of the zombies kind of stops for a moment. He takes
• 50:04
  his hand off the controllers. You can also hear, one of the
• 50:07
  RC cars stops spinning its wheels as
• 50:10
  he reaches down and picks up the mannequin arm and he kind
• 50:13
  of holds it up to his face and
• 50:17
  he tries to take a bite out of it. He leaves him dancing
• 50:21
  and he tosses it off to the side.
• 50:25
  Is this the point where you two are attacking?
• 50:27
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Ideally. Yet.
• 50:28
  >> Skylar: Okay, yes. All right, I'm going to have
• 50:31
  you guys roll. And since they are kind of unaware of you, I'm going
• 50:34
  to give you guys plus ones on this. This is you're going to be rolling with
• 50:37
  dexterity. And then if you have a stat
• 50:40
  or a skill that you feel is beneficial, I'm going to give you plus
• 50:43
  two.
• 50:45
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: This, ten screwdriver doesn't happen to be
• 50:48
  a automatic screwdriver, in
• 50:51
  which case it would be powered because I am proficient with
• 50:54
  power tools, but non powered tools.
• 50:56
  >> Quinn: Hey, janitor guy, what's your name? You
• 50:59
  never even told us your name.
• 51:00
  >> Speaker F: Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. My name's Hank.
• 51:03
  >> Quinn: Hank, do you got any power tools with you?
• 51:04
  >> Speaker F: Not on me, no.
• 51:06
  >> Quinn: Do you have some anywhere close?
• 51:08
  >> Speaker F: Well, yeah, they were in my little cart in the service
• 51:11
  entry.
• 51:12
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: We'll just make.
• 51:14
  >> Speaker F: Can you like, there's probably something here.
• 51:17
  >> Quinn: Can you like, go get yours? Like, it's not that far.
• 51:19
  >> Speaker F: Oh, gosh.
• 51:20
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I think time is of the essence here.
• 51:22
  >> Quinn: Oh, boy.
• 51:23
  >> Skylar: Over here. Hank turns around
• 51:26
  and walks to go get some power tools from
• 51:29
  his cart back in the service hallway. But whatever the case, I
• 51:32
  don't think Hank's coming back. Whatever the case, where are
• 51:35
  you? you're doing your stabs. Yeah.
• 51:37
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: And then. So that was with the screwdriver.
• 51:40
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 51:40
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So I don't know if I had my stats for that.
• 51:43
  >> Skylar: Oh, oh, that's right. so it's whatever the scissors were, which was one
• 51:46
  four times is D.
• 51:47
  >> Quinn: Four times strength, minus one.
• 51:49
  >> Skylar: Minus one. Okay. okay, so you rolled a
• 51:52
  ten, Quinn, so that is definitely a success. So you are going to be
• 51:55
  rolling damage, for that one.
• 51:58
  One.
• 51:59
  >> Quinn: No, I'm sorry.
• 51:59
  >> Skylar: One times one, two. Minus one. Oh, yeah. So
• 52:02
  one damage. All right. Solid one damage on one of
• 52:05
  these zombies.
• 52:06
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: my strength was nine.
• 52:07
  >> Quinn: Oh, wow.
• 52:08
  >> Skylar: Okay, awesome. So that's definitely a success as well.
• 52:10
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: do I need the D4? Yep. That was 11
• 52:13
  4.
• 52:14
  >> Skylar: So you got a one as well?
• 52:15
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yes.
• 52:16
  >> Skylar: Okay. All right. So you both stab into
• 52:19
  these respective zombies, hitting them kind
• 52:21
  of in the. In the buttocks with your
• 52:24
  stab. I think there's probably a part of you that was a bit nervous,
• 52:27
  right? You've never stabbed a human being before, and these
• 52:30
  are basically human beings, just
• 52:32
  undead ones. And it's. You haven't. Your brain hasn't
• 52:35
  processed that need for survival yet, per se.
• 52:38
  so when you stab, you're a little bit nervous, and it just barely
• 52:41
  pokes. Kind of pricks these zombies, for
• 52:44
  lack of better words. And as they're moving
• 52:46
  towards this mannequin that's leading
• 52:49
  them kind of away and allowing you guys to sneak up behind them
• 52:52
  and stab, they both freeze as they're being
• 52:55
  penetrated by these screwdrivers and
• 52:58
  immediately turn around to look at you guys.
• 53:02
  Dave, would you like to take an action as
• 53:04
  they turn their backs to you to focus on your two
• 53:07
  friends?
• 53:09
  >> Dave: yeah. I'll come from behind and
• 53:11
  swing the propeller at one.
• 53:14
  >> Skylar: Are you dropping the mannequin at this point?
• 53:16
  >> Dave: Yeah.
• 53:16
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. You drop the mannequin and you swing.
• 53:19
  Do you have a particular one that you're swinging at? I guess the only
• 53:22
  difference between them is red stripes or blue
• 53:25
  stripes.
• 53:26
  >> Dave: One on my right.
• 53:29
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. We'll do red stripes. All right.
• 53:31
  do your attack. So It'll be
• 53:34
  your D10 plus dexterity,
• 53:37
  and I'll give you also a plus two since you're. You're behind
• 53:40
  them.
• 53:41
  >> Dave: Eight.
• 53:42
  >> Skylar: Eight. Oh, just shy. you go to swing
• 53:45
  at them. I think, again, same thing happens
• 53:48
  to you. You've never really, like, attacked a human being
• 53:51
  before, especially with a level of malice that's not necessary to
• 53:54
  kill somebody. And so, ah, you kind of hit.
• 53:56
  >> Dave: Can I use good luck?
• 53:58
  >> Skylar: You can use your good luck, absolutely. To bring it to a nine and make it a
• 54:01
  success.
• 54:01
  >> Dave: Yeah.
• 54:02
  >> Skylar: Okay, awesome. You do that. you. Your good
• 54:04
  luck pushes, past your desire
• 54:07
  to not hurt a human being and allows you to
• 54:10
  slash into them. Roll the damage for that
• 54:13
  propeller.
• 54:15
  >> Dave: 15.
• 54:15
  >> Skylar: A 15. Awesome. So holy. Holy
• 54:18
  crap. That's a lot of damage. 15,
• 54:22
  damage on top of the damage it
• 54:24
  already took hits this zombie. It
• 54:27
  lurches forward, almost tripping on
• 54:30
  itself. And, you Leave this huge slashed
• 54:33
  gash across its entire back. the shirt
• 54:36
  tears a bit and, it's, it's kind of
• 54:38
  slowly melting. Skin is kind of
• 54:41
  showing a little bit out the back. this zombie is
• 54:44
  horribly injured as it kind of lurches forward.
• 54:47
  But, whatever the case, the zombies are going to attempt to
• 54:50
  attack. One on Nick and one on
• 54:53
  Quinn. So you guys can do, D10 plus
• 54:56
  dexterity and then you take a minus one to it. Unless you
• 54:59
  have some kind of dodge related skill.
• 55:03
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I got an 8.
• 55:05
  >> Quinn: 10 plus 2 minus 1.
• 55:08
  >> Skylar: So 11 total. Okay. So I, would
• 55:11
  say, Quinn, you're able to dodge out of the way. Nick, on the
• 55:14
  other hand, the one that was lurching towards you kind of had a
• 55:17
  little bit of too, too much speed behind it and
• 55:19
  it lunges forward and bites
• 55:22
  onto you on your hand for
• 55:26
  damage.
• 55:27
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Out of curiosity, which hand was this was
• 55:29
  bitten? The one holding the screwdriver.
• 55:32
  >> Skylar: Well, which hand was holding the screw? It's your left hand that got bit.
• 55:35
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So. Okay, non dominant hand. Okay, I can lose that
• 55:38
  one. But that also leaves my screwdriver hand
• 55:40
  free to.
• 55:42
  >> Quinn: We need to cut your hand off, react.
• 55:45
  >> Skylar: Whatever, the case. Okay, so that's where you guys are at. Dave, you're standing
• 55:48
  behind both of these two right now. One of them is severely
• 55:50
  injured. Nick, you've just been bitten on the hand.
• 55:53
  Quinn, you're still okay at the moment. Kind of goes into
• 55:56
  like each round, right? So this is a new round of,
• 55:59
  of combat per se. What are you guys doing?
• 56:01
  >> Quinn: There's one left or two left?
• 56:03
  >> Skylar: There's still two left. One's just really injured.
• 56:05
  >> Quinn: I'm gonna go off to a stronger one. Okay,
• 56:08
  attack it.
• 56:08
  >> Skylar: Okay, go for it.
• 56:10
  >> Quinn: 3 plus 4. 5.
• 56:13
  >> Skylar: 5 does not hit.
• 56:14
  >> Quinn: Yeah, well, it's not good.
• 56:15
  >> Skylar: You start stabbing towards it, you're just unable to hit it as you're
• 56:18
  trying. You see your friend get bit and you're like, I really don't want that to happen to me. So
• 56:21
  you're like, really trying not to get too close,
• 56:24
  fatty or Dave.
• 56:25
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So this bite, is that more of a, latch or more of
• 56:28
  like a. A bite and release.
• 56:30
  >> Skylar: Bite and release.
• 56:31
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Okay, so I'm no longer. Yeah, you're not like grappling held
• 56:34
  on by a zombie?
• 56:34
  >> Skylar: yeah, grappled by his teeth.
• 56:37
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I guess all I can do is go
• 56:40
  back into the fray with my screwdriver and poke.
• 56:42
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good.
• 56:44
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: And this is the dexterity one.
• 56:46
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 56:46
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Okay.
• 56:49
  Seven.
• 56:50
  >> Skylar: Seven. Okay. same thing happens. You just Got bit in your hand.
• 56:53
  You're probably shaking. You're freaking out. I'm. Thoughts are going through
• 56:56
  your head thinking of movies and how people get bit and then they
• 56:59
  turn into zombies. And so in your panic, you're
• 57:02
  just not able to land a stab as the zombie
• 57:05
  continues to lurch towards you. Dave, you're standing behind them.
• 57:08
  >> Dave: I see him bite fatty. I'm like, no.
• 57:11
  And I try to cut his head off.
• 57:13
  >> Skylar: Oh, with the, with the thingama finger the propeller. There you
• 57:16
  go. 10. Hey, there's
• 57:19
  a 10. Well, that's going to be a success for sure.
• 57:23
  >> Dave: oh, and a one for damage.
• 57:26
  Times three.
• 57:27
  >> Skylar: Times three. Three damage.
• 57:30
  you don't slice his head off, but you do
• 57:33
  slash him once again across the back, shooting kind of a large,
• 57:36
  almost an X. and he falls down and
• 57:39
  he, he's now crawling, but just barely
• 57:42
  towards Nick. But he's on the ground. He seems to
• 57:44
  be, more or less kind of
• 57:47
  incapacitated. But obviously, you know, you want to watch your
• 57:49
  feet. whatever the case, the remaining zombie continues to
• 57:52
  lurch towards Quinn. Quinn, if you want to. Well,
• 57:55
  actually, no. He is unable to land a hit. As he,
• 57:59
  tries to bite towards you, trying to grab you, just,
• 58:02
  ah, kind of sliding out of the way. It's back to you
• 58:04
  guys.
• 58:05
  >> Quinn: I'm gonna. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna take one of the
• 58:08
  RC cars.
• 58:09
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 58:10
  >> Quinn: And just bash over the head. You're just.
• 58:12
  >> Skylar: You're just like walking backwards. You look at the shells. You're like. These scissors
• 58:15
  obviously aren't doing the trick. You grab an RC car.
• 58:18
  Like a little display box, whatever.
• 58:20
  >> Quinn: No, no, like you said, they're erased them, right?
• 58:22
  >> Skylar: Well, yeah, but those are on the floor.
• 58:23
  >> Quinn: Yeah, Right, right.
• 58:25
  >> Skylar: When model. Yeah, yeah.
• 58:27
  >> Dave: They're often displayed.
• 58:30
  >> Skylar: Yeah, yeah. There's some outside the box.
• 58:31
  >> Quinn: Yeah, I just grab one. I'm just. I mean,
• 58:34
  they're pretty big and they're heavy.
• 58:36
  >> Skylar: Pretty big.
• 58:36
  >> Quinn: I'm just gonna bash him on the head.
• 58:39
  All right.
• 58:40
  >> Skylar: Roll that rope to. To hit him. M8.
• 58:43
  8. Ooh. Just shy. Do you have luck that you'd want to
• 58:45
  spend?
• 58:46
  >> Quinn: sure. I got two points. I'll use a point. A good one.
• 58:48
  >> Skylar: All right, so you use a point to create it into a
• 58:51
  success. Let's call this a small mace.
• 58:54
  So small mace is going to be a D4. It's only going to be
• 58:57
  A1 use. So I don't know if you want to write it down, because this card's gonna.
• 58:59
  >> Quinn: No, that's.
• 59:00
  >> Skylar: But it is a D8 times your strength. So grab yourself a
• 59:03
  D8. That is the diamond dice. And then times
• 59:06
  your strength.
• 59:07
  >> Quinn: Two.
• 59:08
  >> Skylar: Is it really a two? Yeah, two total. All
• 59:11
  right, so you. You grab this car and swing,
• 59:14
  and the. The bumper of this RC
• 59:17
  car just barely nicks the head. Just kind of goes
• 59:20
  and. But the zombie seems uninterested in giving up
• 59:23
  and continues towards you. I'm not going to say that it breaks the car, because that's. That
• 59:26
  was just barely the end of.
• 59:28
  >> Quinn: The two damage, baby.
• 59:30
  >> Skylar: So you still. I mean, the bumper flies off of this RC
• 59:33
  car, but otherwise, the car's still intact. What are the rest of the
• 59:35
  other two of you doing?
• 59:37
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I have recognized the
• 59:40
  frailty of this screwdriver, and I do
• 59:43
  see that mannequin arm looking laying on
• 59:46
  the ground.
• 59:46
  >> Skylar: That's true.
• 59:47
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm gonna go utilize that as a club.
• 59:50
  >> Skylar: Yes. Okay, perfect. So this is to be a small Club, which
• 59:52
  is D6 times strength minus 1.
• 59:56
  Roll the D10 plus dexterity first.
• 59:58
  And since he's not facing you, I'm going to give you a plus one
• 1:00:01
  on this one. Four. A
• 1:00:04
  four. Okay. So you go to swing this mannequin head,
• 1:00:07
  and just as you swing, it's kind of cartoonish where
• 1:00:10
  the zombie lunges ever so slightly, just as you swing until
• 1:00:13
  you just kind of completely whiff it, past the back of its
• 1:00:16
  head. All you see is a little bit of its hair kind
• 1:00:19
  of move as the mannequin arm
• 1:00:21
  passes by. Dave, you actually have had
• 1:00:24
  quite a bit of luck, but your friends just really are not
• 1:00:27
  having good luck with this zombie as it's slowly making its
• 1:00:30
  way continuing towards Quinn. What are you doing?
• 1:00:33
  >> Dave: I'm just going swinging again. Okay,
• 1:00:36
  that's going to be a four.
• 1:00:38
  >> Skylar: Okay. You go running towards it to get a nice swing
• 1:00:41
  in. but just as you go to swing, this mannequin arm
• 1:00:44
  kind of swings out and whiffs. It nearly hits you, and it causes
• 1:00:47
  you to get thrown off. Both of you are kind of tripping over each
• 1:00:50
  other to try to kill this thing. back to the
• 1:00:52
  zombie, which is coming for Quinn. That is a 10
• 1:00:55
  this time. So that's gonna hit. All right, so the
• 1:00:58
  zombie lurches forward, and it kind of, like,
• 1:01:01
  claws at you, and it deals. so
• 1:01:04
  just two damage on that
• 1:01:06
  one. Not a great hit for sure
• 1:01:09
  from the zombie side, huh?
• 1:01:11
  >> Quinn: I'm still not bitten. Yeah.
• 1:01:13
  >> Skylar: Hopefully it doesn't pass through any means.
• 1:01:15
  >> Quinn: It doesn't just bites. I've watched
• 1:01:18
  the movies.
• 1:01:20
  >> Skylar: All right, back to another. Back to you Guys. As this zombie
• 1:01:23
  continues making its way towards Quinn, having slashed
• 1:01:26
  him.
• 1:01:26
  >> Quinn: Oh, it'd be my turn again.
• 1:01:27
  >> Skylar: It's. It's totally up to you guys, but.
• 1:01:29
  >> Quinn: Yeah, go for it. Yeah, I'm gonna try and hit it with a car again.
• 1:01:31
  >> Skylar: Okay, you still got this car. You're swinging this car.
• 1:01:34
  >> Quinn: It was nine plus two. So long.
• 1:01:35
  >> Skylar: Okay, so that's going to hit. So you got a D. Eight
• 1:01:39
  times your strength.
• 1:01:40
  >> Quinn: Egg money. 10.
• 1:01:43
  >> Skylar: All right, 10 damage.
• 1:01:45
  >> Cameron: That's good.
• 1:01:46
  >> Skylar: You slam. This car breaks in half as
• 1:01:49
  it slams into this zombie, who falls down to his knees,
• 1:01:52
  and he seems a little discombobulated as he kind of
• 1:01:55
  spins ever so slightly on the floor, his head just kind
• 1:01:58
  of whirling around. he's not dead, but
• 1:02:01
  he's paused for a second, giving you two enough time
• 1:02:04
  to jump in and help. I'm gonna give you guys, now that he's down,
• 1:02:06
  I'm gonna give you guys a plus two, on your rolls to
• 1:02:09
  hit him with whatever it is.
• 1:02:10
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So we have two zombies that are now down?
• 1:02:13
  >> Skylar: Technically, yes.
• 1:02:14
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Okay.
• 1:02:14
  >> Skylar: One of them crawling. This one is just kind of, like, momentarily
• 1:02:17
  stunned.
• 1:02:17
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Okay.
• 1:02:18
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 1:02:18
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yes. I will lunge forward with my
• 1:02:21
  mannequin club.
• 1:02:22
  >> Skylar: All right. Are you holding the hand so that the arm
• 1:02:25
  comes out, or you.
• 1:02:26
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: It's kind of like that, proto SAM grip, where
• 1:02:28
  it's. I'm gripping its wrist as it
• 1:02:31
  hand grips my wrist.
• 1:02:35
  >> Skylar: What a way to wield a weapon.
• 1:02:37
  >> Dave: I love it.
• 1:02:38
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: It's not a very good grip, because that's another one.
• 1:02:41
  >> Skylar: Okay. As you swing down
• 1:02:43
  towards this mannequin, your grip, not being as good,
• 1:02:46
  slips, and the mannequin arm kind of hits the ground and
• 1:02:49
  bounces a little ways away from you. Not something that you
• 1:02:52
  couldn't go pick up and get back into the swing of things, but
• 1:02:55
  you certainly missed this time.
• 1:02:56
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm getting a new dice.
• 1:02:57
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I was gonna say you might want to. This is pretty
• 1:03:00
  painful.
• 1:03:01
  >> Dave: Dave, I'm gonna run forward
• 1:03:03
  and, try to curb stomp
• 1:03:06
  this zombie skull.
• 1:03:08
  >> Skylar: Oh, man. All right, Sounds good.
• 1:03:11
  >> Dave: Got a eight. Eight.
• 1:03:13
  >> Skylar: Okay. That is a mission. you go to curb,
• 1:03:15
  stop him, and your foot kind of comes past him
• 1:03:18
  and just barely misses his ear as
• 1:03:21
  you kind of hit the ground. standing in front of him,
• 1:03:24
  he kind of shakes off a little bit of the pain. He sees
• 1:03:27
  your leg right there, and he lunges for it to
• 1:03:30
  try to get a bite, but he's still a little
• 1:03:33
  discombobulated, and he misses. Kind of just bumping
• 1:03:36
  his head against a shelf ever so slightly. So got another
• 1:03:39
  round to go. With nobody taking any damage
• 1:03:42
  but also not much being dealt. What are you
• 1:03:44
  guys doing?
• 1:03:45
  >> Dave: I retract my leg and instead
• 1:03:48
  decide I better keep my distance and
• 1:03:50
  swing the propeller at his head. All
• 1:03:53
  right, we're gonna go nine.
• 1:03:55
  >> Skylar: Hey. All right.
• 1:03:57
  >> Dave: And max damage.
• 1:03:59
  >> Skylar: Max damage.
• 1:04:00
  >> Dave: 18.
• 1:04:02
  >> Skylar: Being frustrated. You finally
• 1:04:04
  accomplish your goal as you swing down with this
• 1:04:07
  propeller slicing through the zombie's
• 1:04:10
  neck and separating his head from
• 1:04:13
  his body. You have done it. You have successfully
• 1:04:16
  killed the zombie. And the other one again is still just kind
• 1:04:19
  of crawling along the floor at a very incredibly slow
• 1:04:22
  pace. Where. What are you guys up
• 1:04:24
  to now?
• 1:04:25
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I will go retrieve the mannequin
• 1:04:29
  club.
• 1:04:29
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 1:04:30
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: At this point, I'm kind of.
• 1:04:33
  Do we just kind of leave this other
• 1:04:36
  zombie there to crawl around while
• 1:04:39
  we then move on to our main
• 1:04:42
  plan? But that's just because I've been
• 1:04:44
  very lackluster in this encounter. So I
• 1:04:47
  will let the other guys decide. So I'm kind of just going to. Ready
• 1:04:50
  in action.
• 1:04:51
  >> Skylar: Okay. Yeah.
• 1:04:52
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: In case it comes at me.
• 1:04:53
  >> Skylar: All right. He's definitely coming towards you guys, but,
• 1:04:56
  I mean, it's incredibly slow. He's got to pull his
• 1:04:59
  entire body by his hands. So,
• 1:05:02
  what about the other two of you guys? Are you guys going to
• 1:05:05
  try to finish the zombie off or ignore it
• 1:05:07
  for, some increased speed on your current objective,
• 1:05:10
  which is making some form of
• 1:05:13
  distraction?
• 1:05:14
  >> Quinn: We just have one more zombie left, right?
• 1:05:16
  >> Skylar: Yeah. He's just crawling on the floor.
• 1:05:17
  >> Quinn: I would like to punt. Kick it.
• 1:05:19
  >> Skylar: Okay. Sounds good. Yeah.
• 1:05:22
  >> Dave: Don't Charlie Brown it.
• 1:05:24
  >> Quinn: 11.
• 1:05:25
  >> Skylar: 11. All right, that's going to hit. So you're going to be
• 1:05:27
  doing a sounds like. So it's D4, and
• 1:05:30
  then it'll be times the strength plus one.
• 1:05:33
  So it's actually a nice little bonus there.
• 1:05:35
  >> Quinn: Nine.
• 1:05:36
  >> Skylar: All right, so you. You managed to get nine damage. You
• 1:05:39
  rush over, seeing this one zombie left on the floor,
• 1:05:42
  and you just punch straight into it. And sure enough,
• 1:05:45
  slamming your foot into its head. The
• 1:05:47
  sort of already decaying body that it has.
• 1:05:50
  The head separates from the shoulders and
• 1:05:53
  goes flying out and slams
• 1:05:56
  into a display shelf full of
• 1:05:59
  RC Bo Knocking a couple boxes off the
• 1:06:02
  side and lodging the head onto the shelf
• 1:06:05
  which lets out one final.
• 1:06:08
  Before closing its mouth permanently.
• 1:06:11
  Both zombies are dead. What are you guys grabbing so you can move this
• 1:06:14
  distraction?
• 1:06:15
  >> Quinn: We got to get some, We got to get there any, like.
• 1:06:17
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Robots, like David said, that little.
• 1:06:20
  >> Quinn: There's got to be some robots.
• 1:06:23
  >> Skylar: Robots.
• 1:06:24
  >> Quinn: There's got to be a Little, Got.
• 1:06:25
  >> Cameron: Some little rc, like I said.
• 1:06:26
  >> Skylar: I mean, they have some like, or the, the bot
• 1:06:29
  battle bot type stuff. They're smaller.
• 1:06:32
  They're not like the big ones that you see on the. The show, but
• 1:06:35
  like get a barking.
• 1:06:36
  >> Dave: Battle bot and put it in the back of a,
• 1:06:39
  RC pickup.
• 1:06:40
  >> Quinn: Nice.
• 1:06:41
  >> Skylar: All right.
• 1:06:43
  >> Dave: Also, well, I tell you guys
• 1:06:46
  that we need to get like a, a barking
• 1:06:49
  dog robot and put it in the back of a
• 1:06:51
  pickup, drive it out there. I'm gonna
• 1:06:54
  go check the charging station. So I go
• 1:06:57
  over there and look to see if there's any like
• 1:07:00
  pickups over there, like charging
• 1:07:02
  or. I'm imagining this store has. Since they have a
• 1:07:05
  racetrack in it, they have a space for people to charge their
• 1:07:08
  cars. And then there might be like a bank of
• 1:07:11
  batteries or something.
• 1:07:13
  >> Skylar: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:07:14
  >> Quinn: There'd be a repair workshop, I'm assuming.
• 1:07:16
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 1:07:16
  >> Quinn: In some parts.
• 1:07:17
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 1:07:17
  >> Quinn: I'm going to go check that for some power tools or fatty.
• 1:07:20
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 1:07:20
  >> Quinn: Sounds do I find.
• 1:07:22
  >> Dave: I'm going to dump out, most of the water bottles
• 1:07:25
  from my bag.
• 1:07:26
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 1:07:26
  >> Dave: To create some room.
• 1:07:27
  >> Quinn: That's a lot of water bottles. Think you need that
• 1:07:30
  many?
• 1:07:31
  >> Dave: Well, no, I don't, so that's why I'm dumping it.
• 1:07:33
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay.
• 1:07:34
  >> Dave: I gotta start filling it instead with
• 1:07:37
  some lithium ion batteries.
• 1:07:39
  >> Skylar: Nice. All right, Sounds good. Yeah, you get. I mean, you can
• 1:07:42
  pretty much raid this whole store, so you can get quite a few.
• 1:07:45
  >> Dave: I want the ones that are.
• 1:07:46
  >> Skylar: That are charged. Yeah. Okay. So yeah, there's definitely a hand handful of back
• 1:07:49
  ones. Let's say five.
• 1:07:50
  >> Quinn: What if we create a distraction, but we keep an RC car
• 1:07:53
  with us.
• 1:07:54
  >> Skylar: To like, just for fun.
• 1:07:56
  >> Quinn: Well, yeah, distraction for fun, but future
• 1:07:59
  distraction.
• 1:07:59
  >> Skylar: There you go. I mean, as long as you feel like you're willing to carry it.
• 1:08:02
  Add it to your items. For sure. I'm going to do a quick jump
• 1:08:05
  while you guys are kind of looking through the stuff in the store or
• 1:08:08
  looting whatever it is that you're going for. I'm going to jump over
• 1:08:11
  to Cover to Cover Bookstore. Meanwhile.
• 1:08:17
  So, Jackson, you are inside the COVID to Cover
• 1:08:20
  bookstore. You've been here probably held up for. Well, since
• 1:08:23
  kind of the whole Black Friday thing happened.
• 1:08:25
  >> Cameron: Yeah, we've been here for maybe about 30 minutes. I spent about
• 1:08:28
  a half hour in the. In the kitchen
• 1:08:31
  store looking for gifts for my mother.
• 1:08:34
  >> Skylar: And you managed to come out of it with a nice big
• 1:08:36
  pot lid and a cleaver. Ah, Nice sharp
• 1:08:39
  cleaver. When you started noticing, I'm assuming for when you started noticing
• 1:08:42
  or Was that what you were getting for your mom?
• 1:08:44
  >> Cameron: Listen, it's Black Friday. I'm not buying my mom
• 1:08:47
  a knife. She's got plenty. It's Black
• 1:08:49
  Friday. People are biting people. I say, I'm
• 1:08:52
  not gonna get bit, dude. I'm defending
• 1:08:55
  myself. I don't know what's going on, but they ain't
• 1:08:58
  biting me.
• 1:08:58
  >> Skylar: That's right. So let me ask you something. When you
• 1:09:01
  came here for Black Friday, what was on your
• 1:09:04
  Christmas list? Whether it be something for you or something for
• 1:09:07
  your mom or whoever.
• 1:09:08
  >> Cameron: Okay. I was definitely going
• 1:09:11
  to get my dad something
• 1:09:14
  kind of goofy because he likes. So my dad really
• 1:09:17
  likes goofy neckties, so I would definitely
• 1:09:20
  be looking for. At the time, would have been looking for a
• 1:09:23
  goofy neck type. and my
• 1:09:26
  mom always says the same thing every year. She's like, I
• 1:09:28
  just want all my babies in the same house.
• 1:09:31
  And so I was going to buy her something, for
• 1:09:35
  kitchenware she was wanting. and
• 1:09:38
  like a different kind of crock pot that
• 1:09:40
  was not powered, you know, like a ceramic
• 1:09:43
  crock pot in the oven.
• 1:09:45
  >> Skylar: Yeah. All right. Oh, yeah, Okay. I
• 1:09:48
  know. I'm talking about. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Like those blue.
• 1:09:51
  They're always like a blue speckled or they're black and they always have
• 1:09:54
  that weird speckled thing on them.
• 1:09:56
  >> Cameron: Right.
• 1:09:56
  >> Skylar: I don't know what that is, but.
• 1:09:57
  >> Cameron: You know what I'm talking about.
• 1:09:58
  >> Skylar: Yep. Okay. All right.
• 1:10:00
  So an oven crock pot and a goofy necktie, and then
• 1:10:03
  was there anything for yourself that you were hoping to get
• 1:10:06
  potentially?
• 1:10:08
  >> Cameron: for myself at the time, I was always
• 1:10:11
  looking for, those, like,
• 1:10:13
  battle ready mock lightsabers
• 1:10:16
  that people would make and buy. And they were always stupid
• 1:10:19
  expensive.
• 1:10:19
  >> Skylar: They were, yes. Ah, absolutely. Even today.
• 1:10:22
  >> Cameron: Even today, they're expensive.
• 1:10:24
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. All right, I've got those down. Just because that's
• 1:10:26
  something that obviously, no matter what happens, you
• 1:10:29
  are going to want to try to get those. Like
• 1:10:32
  you came here for a purpose.
• 1:10:33
  >> Cameron: If I see it, I'm putting it in my.
• 1:10:35
  >> Skylar: That's right. Exactly. Exactly. All right, so
• 1:10:38
  when things, started to go to crap and
• 1:10:40
  you rushed to cover, to cover, just because for
• 1:10:43
  whatever reason, maybe you saw survivors there. Maybe people were already
• 1:10:46
  pushing bookshelves in front of the door. And you said, that seems like a good
• 1:10:49
  idea. I'm going to get inside where it's safe. whatever
• 1:10:52
  the case, once you got in there, the bookshelves were
• 1:10:55
  pushed in front, you met a handful of characters that were
• 1:10:58
  inside the bookstore. You have Claire.
• 1:11:01
  She is the manager of COVID to Cover.
• 1:11:03
  she's a bit stressed out, as most people would
• 1:11:06
  be. but here's the problem. You can tell that she's a
• 1:11:09
  little extra stressed out because Black Friday is a big payout for
• 1:11:12
  her as the manager. M. She runs a lot on
• 1:11:14
  commission, and so Black Friday is kind of a big
• 1:11:17
  deal. and this is all kind of just a big
• 1:11:20
  mess. And so she's just not even sure what to think. She's confused,
• 1:11:23
  she's frustrated. You, got Jake. Jake is
• 1:11:26
  the unlucky barista that managed to get put on tonight's
• 1:11:29
  shift. And normally unlucky, in this
• 1:11:32
  situation, most people would be happy because not a lot of people
• 1:11:35
  are getting coffee at Black Friday while they're running from shop
• 1:11:38
  to shop trying to get deals. so normally
• 1:11:41
  some people would think, oh, this is great. It's going to be boring. But
• 1:11:43
  Jake's kind of one of those guys that realizes, man, the night goes
• 1:11:46
  so much faster when there's stuff to do, and I
• 1:11:49
  kind of would wish to have that. And so you have Jake.
• 1:11:52
  He's kind of over everything. He's. He's just kind of frustrated and
• 1:11:55
  bored. especially now that he's safe. Right,
• 1:11:58
  right. Martha is an elderly
• 1:12:00
  retired elementary teacher. she
• 1:12:03
  is probably one of those traditional mall
• 1:12:06
  walkers. she heard there was a sale at the
• 1:12:09
  bookstore, and she had a particular book in mind. And so
• 1:12:12
  she drove over here and she
• 1:12:15
  waited for a lot of the crowds to run in, and then she
• 1:12:18
  just beeline straight for the bookstore and
• 1:12:20
  managed to get in without any trouble with the zombies. she was pretty
• 1:12:23
  much in the bookstore. She had grabbed the book she was looking for, she
• 1:12:26
  started to read the description, turned around, and the barricades
• 1:12:29
  were up, and she was safe inside. So she got a
• 1:12:32
  lucky position there.
• 1:12:33
  >> Cameron: I understand how you feel.
• 1:12:35
  >> Skylar: There's Eli. He's the high school student. Just, kind of a
• 1:12:38
  kid trying to get maybe some DVDs or something from
• 1:12:41
  the. The section, the digital section over at the
• 1:12:44
  bookstore. and then you have two particular
• 1:12:47
  characters, that are a little bit, maybe more quote unquote,
• 1:12:50
  interesting than the rest. You have Shayna. Shayna
• 1:12:52
  is a cameraman for the local news
• 1:12:55
  network. And she has her camera out or
• 1:12:58
  maybe probably set off to the side. Right now she looks pretty
• 1:13:01
  frustrated, and with her is her news
• 1:13:03
  anchor, Connor. Connor, is kind of a chill
• 1:13:06
  dude. but after everybody kind of
• 1:13:09
  ran in here and pushed up
• 1:13:12
  some bookshelves and he.
• 1:13:15
  He, like, turned around and you didn't see him for a little bit. And when he
• 1:13:18
  came back, he looked kind of sick.
• 1:13:20
  >> Skylar: And so when you are, after you've communicated, you've met
• 1:13:23
  these NPC. NPCs.
• 1:13:25
  >> Quinn: Chance diabetes.
• 1:13:27
  >> Skylar: You, you saw these people through the window. They said they were going
• 1:13:30
  to try to, like, partner up with you, and then said they had some kind of a plan.
• 1:13:33
  They disappeared. so you're left in the bookstore right now,
• 1:13:36
  and Connor motions for you to come over and talk to him. All
• 1:13:39
  right? Like, hey, bro. Hey.
• 1:13:40
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: All right.
• 1:13:41
  >> Cameron: What's up, guy? Hey, look, what can I do for you?
• 1:13:43
  >> Skylar: cha. Dude. kind of messed up a little bit.
• 1:13:46
  so my blood sugar was running a little bit low
• 1:13:50
  with, the bookshelves and everything. And so I
• 1:13:52
  grabbed, one of those candy bars right there, and he points over to the
• 1:13:55
  shelf and he's like, turns,
• 1:13:58
  out it's like some kind of weird holiday
• 1:14:02
  Mega Sugar Crunch something or other. I thought
• 1:14:05
  it was just like a regular, like, kind of like Clif bar or
• 1:14:08
  something and. Nah, bro, nah.
• 1:14:10
  It's, super high sugar. And so now
• 1:14:13
  my sugar's off the charts. And I dropped
• 1:14:16
  my insulin when I was running from the
• 1:14:19
  zombies. Okay, Is there any
• 1:14:22
  chance you could be a total bro
• 1:14:25
  and get me some insulin while you're out?
• 1:14:29
  >> Cameron: you know what? I'd be willing to do that if you admit
• 1:14:32
  that a Cliff bar is not a normal freaking candy
• 1:14:34
  bar.
• 1:14:35
  >> Skylar: Okay?
• 1:14:36
  >> Cameron: Kidding me? No, I said, you thought it was a normal candy bar, like
• 1:14:39
  a Cliff bar.
• 1:14:39
  >> Skylar: Okay, Normal bar. Sorry. I'm sorry. Normal
• 1:14:42
  bar. Just like, just a bar. Just get a
• 1:14:45
  little bit of sugar in it, get my. My levels back.
• 1:14:48
  But nah, nah, brah, it was something
• 1:14:51
  else.
• 1:14:52
  >> Cameron: Okay, where'd you drop your
• 1:14:55
  insulin?
• 1:14:56
  >> Skylar: I have a note in my. My notes right here
• 1:14:59
  that says, where did he drop the bag, question
• 1:15:02
  mark?
• 1:15:05
  >> Quinn: No.
• 1:15:05
  >> Cameron: World may never know.
• 1:15:07
  >> Skylar: Give me that map. No, I have it on here. Never mind.
• 1:15:10
  >> Cameron: Am I supposed to run over to We Sell Drugs
• 1:15:12
  pharmacy?
• 1:15:13
  >> Skylar: Look, bro, I mean, here's the thing. I'm
• 1:15:16
  sure there's probably some insulin over at the
• 1:15:19
  pharmacy. Absolutely. Totally. Totally. I'm
• 1:15:21
  pretty sure. I think it dropped it actually, not. Not too
• 1:15:24
  far from here. I think it was probably right over by
• 1:15:27
  Happy Beginnings Massage, because we were doing a story
• 1:15:30
  or we doing an interview with the guy that owns the massage
• 1:15:33
  place about the
• 1:15:35
  frustrations of lack, of customers
• 1:15:38
  on. On Black Friday. so, yeah, if you. If you
• 1:15:41
  could do that for me, that'd be totally
• 1:15:44
  sick, bro.
• 1:15:45
  >> Cameron: So actual symptoms are like,
• 1:15:48
  Redness in the face, sweating, maybe
• 1:15:51
  a little bit of bloating. Am I right in thinking that?
• 1:15:53
  >> Skylar: Okay, can I swell a little bit?
• 1:15:55
  >> Cameron: Can I tell if he has any, like, symptoms that would
• 1:15:57
  indicate, like, a zombie bite?
• 1:16:01
  Can I tell, if he's really.
• 1:16:03
  >> Skylar: I mean, you look him over and you don't see. I mean, at the very least, you
• 1:16:06
  don't see. See any blood marks or anything like that. I mean, if you
• 1:16:08
  wanted to do a perception check, nobody's done one of those
• 1:16:11
  yet. So it's just, Yeah, absolutely. So It's. It's the
• 1:16:14
  D10 plus your perception stat. And if you have, any kind
• 1:16:17
  of skills that you feel like, relate to that, you can let me
• 1:16:20
  know.
• 1:16:22
  >> Cameron: that would be a 7.7total on the
• 1:16:25
  perception.
• 1:16:26
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I mean, there's really just nothing, like I said. I mean, he doesn't have any
• 1:16:29
  blood splotches or anything like that. You just. Just from
• 1:16:32
  a general look at him, like, it's hard to tell
• 1:16:35
  whether it was zombies or a zombie
• 1:16:38
  situation or just, you know, like I said, your typical
• 1:16:41
  diabetic, overdose of sugar,
• 1:16:44
  basically.
• 1:16:44
  >> Cameron: Gotcha.
• 1:16:45
  >> Skylar: I don't know. That's fair terminology. So, yeah, I
• 1:16:48
  mean, that's. That's the basic gist of his situation, as far as
• 1:16:51
  you can tell.
• 1:16:52
  >> Cameron: Okay, I'll narrow
• 1:16:55
  my eyes, but I'll be like, yo, yeah, yeah, when I get out of
• 1:16:57
  here, I'll go get your
• 1:17:00
  insulin. Sure.
• 1:17:02
  >> Skylar: Thanks, brah. I appreciate it. Totally appreciate
• 1:17:05
  it. Hey, if we get out
• 1:17:08
  of this live, could I also get an interview with you about
• 1:17:11
  it for the news, I
• 1:17:14
  guess.
• 1:17:15
  >> Cameron: Nice local news channel. Like anyone, but
• 1:17:17
  boomers watches that.
• 1:17:18
  >> Skylar: Anyway, okay, so
• 1:17:21
  Claire approaches you and she says, hey, if you're gonna
• 1:17:24
  go out there, please keep an eye. An eye
• 1:17:27
  out for Mary. My daughter Mary. She. She was
• 1:17:30
  in the back room. I told her to stay there,
• 1:17:33
  stay away from the crowds, and I came out here to run
• 1:17:36
  things in the store. I gave her a book to read and everything, but when I
• 1:17:39
  went back, she was gone. I don't know where she's at. just,
• 1:17:42
  please, if you can, if you get out of here and you're not able to make
• 1:17:45
  it to us, just take her with you if you see her.
• 1:17:47
  >> Cameron: What did she look like?
• 1:17:48
  >> Skylar: She's wearing a yellow
• 1:17:51
  coat. Hopefully she brought her coat.
• 1:17:54
  I hope I didn't see it in the room. So I think she did. She wore a
• 1:17:57
  coat here. It was yellow. Just like, bright
• 1:17:59
  yellow.
• 1:18:00
  >> Cameron: What kind of shoes does she wear?
• 1:18:02
  >> Skylar: They're pink
• 1:18:05
  tennis Shoes, little pink. And they got the lights on
• 1:18:08
  them.
• 1:18:08
  >> Cameron: Like this just got light up. Pink tennis shoes. That'll
• 1:18:11
  be easier. Cuz like it's much harder to lose shoes than
• 1:18:14
  it is to lose like a yellow code.
• 1:18:15
  >> Skylar: Oh, sure, that's a good point.
• 1:18:17
  >> Cameron: Because like, what if I just found her coat
• 1:18:19
  floating in the, in the fountain and I'm like, sorry,
• 1:18:22
  oh my God.
• 1:18:24
  >> Quinn: What do you think?
• 1:18:26
  >> Dave: Please don't say such a thing.
• 1:18:28
  >> Cameron: Yeah, yeah, I'll keep an eye out.
• 1:18:30
  >> Skylar: Thank you so much. That's all I ask.
• 1:18:33
  And she, she walks away.
• 1:18:36
  Probably, to go stand, guard
• 1:18:39
  over by the front where the things are. And then of course you could kind of see
• 1:18:42
  her watching out the, the windows to try to see if she can
• 1:18:45
  maybe spot her daughter or something.
• 1:18:47
  >> Cameron: Is the, power still on? Right, Everything works. I would
• 1:18:50
  like to make myself, just a straight double shot
• 1:18:53
  of espresso.
• 1:18:54
  >> Skylar: Oh, absolutely. In fact, Jake probably help you. He's like, yeah, it's not
• 1:18:57
  like I'm doing anything else, man.
• 1:18:58
  >> Cameron: I need that right now.
• 1:18:59
  >> Skylar: Here you go, dude. And yeah, he just, he pops the
• 1:19:02
  little spoon thingies into the machine full
• 1:19:05
  of, the espresso, ground espresso, and he pours you a couple
• 1:19:08
  of espresso shots and hands them off to you.
• 1:19:11
  Awesome. And with that, you are energized and ready
• 1:19:14
  to go with a couple of little side quests that you can bring to the group.
• 1:19:17
  The rest of the group is you guys have your distraction, you
• 1:19:20
