0:18
Greetings scum and welcome to a very special episode of Flail to
0:21
the Face. My name is Kevin, I am your
0:24
wholemeister and I am here with Hi, I'm Thomas and I will be
0:28
playing Dalton Walls. Ho ho ho, all you little elves
0:32
on shelves. This is Tom Gambino and I'm
0:35
playing Colette Stellarno. I'm Mr. Paschke and I'm playing
0:39
Donnie. Well, time to bring in some
0:42
holiday cheer and floral. Floral.
2:03
So it has been yet another hard strenuous day out in the diaper
2:09
swamps as you guys are still sifting through the muck looking
2:13
for that cubic zirconium earring that that Princess lost ever so
2:17
long ago. You guys have finished your day
2:20
as you've finished many before you and probably more ahead of
2:23
you and you were led back into your barracks to get cleaned up
2:29
and get ready for the rest of the evening.
2:31
You guys through all of your hard work have earned an hour of
2:35
screen time in the TV room. As you guys are walking by you
2:38
notice that the TV room and the surrounding area in your
2:42
cellblock, it looks different for some reason.
2:44
It's a festive, I guess would be the proper in term.
2:48
There's there's certain decorations hanging up and just
2:52
thrown about. I mean, the best you could
2:54
possibly do on a prison trash planet.
2:57
And as you guys are walking by, you're getting these feelings in
3:01
in your hearts that it's it's getting to be that holiday
3:03
season. What are some holiday memories
3:07
that all this stuff kind of brings to mind as you guys are
3:10
making your way to the television room?
3:12
Being a young lad, growing my first set of pubic hair and then
3:15
my parents showing me how to RIP it out and praise to the Mecca
3:18
llama so that you could weave it into a Knick knack to attach to
3:22
your your your llamas mists scarf so that everyone knows
3:27
that that you are celebrating the holiday.
3:30
Donnie, we've talked about internal voice.
3:33
That was outside voice. Oh well, I'm making a scarf
3:37
Knick knack for all y'all, I just want you to know that.
3:40
Thank you. Because we've been working so
3:43
well together for so long in the in the the type of fields.
3:46
You know what? That is true.
3:49
We, the three of us, we've been shoveling shit for 12.
3:54
I can't even count anymore. But you guys are all right.
3:57
And for that, you know what? I reach into my jumpsuit and for
4:03
Donnie I pull out a small wooden llama figure.
4:09
Make a lot praised don't so beautiful.
4:13
Don't ask me how I got it, I had to do some.
4:15
Trading. But here you go, this is for
4:17
you. You should here.
4:21
I just made you a fruit bat. Pulls out his red colored fruit
4:27
bat that he wove himself. Oh, this is lovely.
4:31
Thank you, Danny. I appreciate this very much.
4:34
I'm. Going to put this on my wall and
4:36
and. It's meant to go on your scarf
4:39
near your face. Oh, thank you and I will.
4:43
I made it myself. And I will, thank you very much,
4:46
Danny. And I pat him on the shoulder
4:48
and I put it in my breast pocket of my jumpsuit, and I turn to
4:54
Dalton and I go. And I got something.
4:56
For you too and I reach into my jumpsuit again.
5:01
I I heard you like to read so I found some first editions for
5:05
you then they are. I heard you talking about how
5:08
you like physics and the. Quantitative shit.
5:12
I didn't know it was good but. I had Sal.
5:16
Wrangled him up. Here you go.
5:17
You. Just I, I don't what I don't
5:23
know what to say, but I, I can. And he like reaches into like
5:31
his jumper suit and he pulls out two envelopes, one that says
5:35
Colette and the other says Donnie on it.
5:38
And he's like these. This is a a tradition from my
5:43
planet and here. I take my envelope.
5:47
Donnie take his as well. I open it.
5:50
OK, so Colette's UC is a spreadsheet with like dot points
5:57
and stuff, and it has a metric that is generating how many
6:01
bowel movements you tend to have each day of the week, along with
6:05
a rating system. And then you can see like a bell
6:09
curve highlighting possible health issues, gauging off of
6:13
the smell and the frequency of your bowel movements.
6:18
You know what? As weird as this is, this is
6:21
oddly informative. You know what?
6:24
I'm going to bring this up at the next physical.
6:26
I am reluctant. To say thank you.
6:28
But I thank you. Dalton and I, I give him a hug.
6:33
And he's like, just kind of still holding, like cradling the
6:36
book and that awkward side hug type thing.
6:40
And yeah, he's just like in our planet.
6:43
It's just a way to like, show that like, you matter enough for
6:47
us to pay attention. Well, so did my bowel movements
6:53
are very. Are they ever present in your
6:55
mind, or is this just part of the tradition?
6:58
It's maybe completely honest. It's really hard to ignore it
7:02
when you do. Noted that, we'll bring that up
7:05
by next physical. The second YouTube part ways
7:08
Donnie comes at you with a pubic scarf Dick neck of a celicant.
7:16
He's like, it's a celicant, you know, I'm sure I've got on about
7:20
the significance of the celicant beer.
7:24
I remember. I remember to see the kid.
7:26
Yes, you. You bring it up very, very
7:27
often. Yes, yes, yes, yes, you do.
7:31
He thinks and like, he kind of like takes it and at the moment
7:36
kind of puts it as like a bookmark.
7:38
I don't know. You're supposed to wear it.
7:41
Oh, on your scarf. OK.
7:45
Yeah. He's like puts it on the
7:47
shoulder. Thanks.
7:50
You're welcome. Opens up download looks like.
7:55
Man, I wish I could read. Yes, you see a lot of like data
7:58
points and. Let's data point.
8:02
I look over at it and. Collette, as you read it, you
8:06
could see it is a chart with the corresponding estimated length
8:11
of the pubic hairs that he's been removing at a color
8:14
coordination and he's trying to map out are the blonde ones tend
8:19
to be longer or like the dark ones.
8:22
So like corresponding and then possible like theory because
8:26
apparently he did at least notice the weaving process, so
8:30
he was starting to speculate about how many hairs he would
8:33
need for different possible creatures to be made to match
8:38
the colors and the hairs. I look at the spreadsheet like
8:41
I'm a fucking Looney Tunes character.
8:43
My eyes are like big and bugging out.
8:46
There's like looking at it up and down, doing double takes.
8:49
Then I say. I fucked up.
8:51
Should have gotten you a fucking.
8:52
Trimmer. So as you guys are making your
8:54
way to the TV room, exchanging these very heartfelt and
8:58
surprisingly informative gifts between each other, you make it
9:02
to the room. There's a few other people that
9:04
are kind of half assedly staring at the television and one of the
9:08
guards is flipping through the stations and he stops at one
9:11
that the title screen comes up as the gift.
9:15
And as you guys are settling in, the theme music starts to play
9:20
and the credits start to roll. The.
10:09
So the scene opens as the three of you are working and cleaning
10:14
up in the Tavern that you all three run, known as the
10:18
Screaming Donkey, in the village of Shattered Stone Pass.
10:21
Who are the three of you and what are your roles in the
10:25
Tavern itself? So my character is Fell Band.
10:30
He's an individual with long tangled hair.
10:33
There's that at least one cockroach noticeable weaving
10:36
itself and running through the strands.
10:39
He tends to kind of kind of flemi.
10:43
He tends to pour drinks, which is also not great because he
10:47
tends to also be kind of careless with things.
10:49
So it's a lot of a lot of broken glasses as he's serving towards
10:55
people. The name's Vagal.
10:58
I work in this Tavern as a as a gambler of sorts.
11:03
A better. I encourage people to come in,
11:07
drink beers, nails, eat. Fruit.
11:10
And I play games with them. I I'm a crack of dice.
11:14
I loved dice. I'm pretty lucky when it comes
11:18
to dice rooms, if you know what I mean.
11:21
You're Clert be a retired Navy man.
11:25
He works at the door making sure people are allowed in.
11:29
So as you guys are cleaning up for the night, it is the eve of
11:33
the holiday season, you're shutting down early so all the
11:35
patrons can go home to their family and celebrate.
11:37
So, and just so that you guys can do so as well, along with
11:40
the three of you, you also have Vagal's daughter running around
11:44
helping to pick up stuff as well.
11:46
What's the daughter's name? What is the daughter's name?
11:48
Bagel. Oh, there's Ruby.
11:50
There's a little Ruby. You all know little Ruby.
11:53
So Ruby's out sweeping underneath the tables and
11:56
fussing. Everything fell bands like Last
11:59
Call and then just like we, we've gotten to the point
12:03
because of so many broken glasses, we just have like metal
12:06
tankards that people have been drinking out of.
12:08
He puts an arm down and just slides it down the bar and it
12:11
dumps all the cup cups into a bin at the end of the bar.
12:15
Time to go. And with a grumble from the
12:18
crowd, they finish their drinks and kind of shuffle their way
12:21
out the door. And you guys spend the next hour
12:25
to kind of picking up, cleaning up, getting everything set up
12:27
for the next day when court you hear a knock at the door.
12:32
Your Barbie closed. You should have showed up
12:34
earlier. Do you hear no response?
12:37
And on the other side of the door.
12:38
Yeah, I guess they hurt me. Yeah.
12:39
So it's glad that everyone's gone.
12:42
You always have such a great way with people.
12:45
I find the direct approach is best with most people.
12:49
Yeah, it does tend to be more favorable approach.
12:53
And Ruby. Ruby, Do you hear any metal
12:56
clanging when you're sweeping up?
12:58
Girl no. Papa.
13:00
There's nobody was drunk enough to drop any more coins, eh?
13:03
No, Papa. Good girl, Ruby, good guy.
13:06
And I pat her head. A few minutes later, you hear
13:10
another knock at the door, and it's a little more persistent.
13:14
Yeah, I already said we were closed.
13:17
And just pounding at this point, just damn near trying to beat
13:20
the door down. If some people can't take a hit.
13:22
Is my vicious dog reacting to this viciously?
13:25
Your small The vicious dog is at the door barking and growling
13:30
like mad. And then, as the dog starts
13:33
barking and growling, the pounding on the door stops.
13:36
I guess they got the message. Well done, Petunia.
13:40
But as you're praising Petunia, she is still barking and
13:43
growling at the door. She is persistent, scratching
13:47
and clawing at the door. Well, I don't want you to mess
13:51
up the woodwork. You little, You little.
13:53
Rapscallion you such a cutey, such a good little.
13:57
Is there people or something I can look out?
14:00
Yeah, there's some people. All right, so I'll pick up
14:02
Petunia, who's probably, I'm sure, nipping at me and growling
14:07
and I just like trying to like gently give her little kisses on
14:10
her face because that's what every dog owner does of.
14:13
Course. And I will in one hand hold her,
14:17
and the other hand kind of lift up the people and kind of peer
14:20
through. As you're looking out through
14:22
the people, you see the snow starting to collect, but through
14:26
the the edge of the people you see at the corner of a box.
14:30
The box say did anyone order a package?
14:33
No. Not me mate.
14:35
Well, there's one out here I ain't heard of 1.
14:37
What is that? Why are you looking at it?
14:40
Go bring it. In it's just because I may I I
14:44
work the door, doesn't mean I have to bring people in.
14:47
I just. Look it undoes the latch and
14:51
starts to like open the door if. I were you, I would just keep in
14:55
mind the ones who may prevent people from stealing.
14:58
And it's not the guy behind the bar, it's the guy at the door
15:01
who doesn't let him leave unless.
15:03
Opens door slowly. Won't be that new delivery
15:06
service imagine. As you open the door, you see on
15:11
the step there a long rectangular box wrapped up in a
15:15
bow with a little card on top of it that says Ruby.
15:19
Oh, it's got a card on it that says Ruby.
15:23
I walk over to it and how long is this box?
15:25
Roughly 3 foot by about 8 inches square 3.
15:30
Foot. Inches.
15:32
So long. Long about, you know, maybe 8
15:35
inches tall, 8 inches wide, 3 foot cross, 3 foot.
15:38
Ruby, someone got you a baseball bat.
15:41
Now wait, wait. It's too short to be a harpoon.
15:45
Who is it from? Who's it from me.
15:47
And I look at the card and I try to see who it's from.
15:50
You will see that it is from a woman that is familiar to all
15:54
three of you, a woman that you all three have had a relation
15:58
with at one point or another. It is Ruby's mom, Prugal.
16:02
I take the card of. Prugal is.
16:07
It. From Alma what's it the what's
16:12
she want on a statement? What's it?
16:14
How did the? Basketball.
16:17
Sweetie, sweetie, this is me. Whatever's in that box, it's
16:21
from your mom. Mama.
16:23
No, no, no, no, no. We've talked about this.
16:26
What have I? What have I told you about your
16:28
mother? She's a lovely lady.
16:29
That is not what I said. That's what I heard.
16:31
No, that's what I said that is. The exact opposite of what I
16:34
said. What's from Mama?
16:36
I was like Clert and I had a pretty good evening.
16:39
I cover Ruby's eyes and I flip off both of you.
16:44
As you're distracted by by flipping off the other two Ruby
16:49
Dukes around you and goes and grab the box and brings the box
16:52
in. Ruby.
16:55
And as she's tearing apart the box, she opens it up and she has
16:58
a very confused look on her face.
17:01
What is it, sweetie? She kind of tilts the box
17:03
towards the three of you and it appears to be a flail.
17:08
You're never too young to have your first flail.
17:11
But I don't understand. And as Ruby goes to pick up the
17:16
flail to hold it, you see something happen to her.
17:20
All the color starts to drain from her skin and her eyes start
17:24
to gloss over. As they're glossing over.
17:27
They're starting to have a reddish pink glow and she goes
17:32
from being confused to smiling as she starts to start swinging
17:39
the flail around. Great day.
17:41
Sure, every day of you, guy. OK, sweetie.
17:46
And as she says that, she catches eye of Petunia and
17:51
starts to make a mad dash to Petunia.
17:54
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa there. Sweetie.
17:58
I try to get in the middle of her.
18:01
I'm going to try to tackle this kid.
18:03
Don't you tackle my dog? Your daughter's attacking my
18:06
dog. I think the priorities are in
18:08
place. I'm trying to wielding stop it.
18:13
Help me stop that. As you guys are having this
18:15
conversation, oh, no, I'm acting.
18:17
I'm, I'm. Yeah.
18:18
No, I'm, I'm. I'm actively getting in front of
18:21
Ruby. OK.
18:22
Both of you guys make agility tests?
18:23
Oh shit well I am lucky I will 2 dose. -3 on agility.
18:29
And I wait. Let me see what's mine, I think.
18:31
I got a 14. I have a 0 to agility that's a
18:37
15. OK, so as you guys go to grab a
18:42
Ruby, she feels different. She feels hot to the touch.
18:48
She is burning up. She is flamed right now.
18:51
She's so hot and she's. Got the fever?
18:54
She's writhing and wriggling and has still got her eyes focused
18:58
on Petunia, and as Petunia catches wind of the fact that
19:02
they're being chased, Petunia makes a mad dash out the door.
19:05
No, my precious little doggy, I follow Petunia I.
19:10
Keep holding on to Ruby. Run.
19:12
Run Petunia. Save yourself.
19:14
I just keep holding on to Ruby. I'm like.
19:15
Sweetie out, out, sweetie, out, out, out, out.
19:18
You're kind of burning, but it's OK.
19:20
That's OK. Daddy's here.
19:22
Out, out, out. And she is just relentlessly
19:26
trying to break free as you guys are holding her.
19:29
The heat just raiding off her is is almost unbearable.
19:35
Wow. Court As you go outside, you see
19:38
Petunia make a mad dash for the middle of the street.
19:43
As Petunia is crossing the street you do notice that there
19:46
is a gang of what appears to be 5 other children running down
19:52
the street chasing your neighbor Missus Throckmorton with flails
19:57
swinging them madly and she is not making very good progress.
20:04
As they cross in front of you. They end up catching up with
20:08
Missus Throckmorton and they pummel her to a bloody mess with
20:13
these and as she drops laying there bleeding in the street.
20:18
They run off down the street. Children of the Flails park
20:24
here. The Flails.
20:25
OK, Felben and Vagal, go ahead, make a strength check DR14 to
20:30
keep hold of our sweet, sweet Ruby.
20:33
That's a note. Definitely wait, wait, wait.
20:36
Strength. Strength.
20:38
Yes, that's a 16. OK, so as she's writing in your
20:42
hands and the heat just rating off her, she slips from your
20:47
grass there, Felvin. But Vagel, you still have a firm
20:50
hold on her. Sweetie, I told you.
20:53
I told you not to drink all that vim cow.
20:55
It's full of sugar. And she is just.
20:58
Let me go. Let me go.
21:00
Now. You listen here, young lady.
21:01
I did not raise such a violent, quite tepid daughter.
21:07
How old is Burns? A lot.
21:09
Don't like it? Go ahead and make another
21:11
strength check DR14 to keep hold right?
21:15
The heat is just intense. Nope, don't make it.
21:21
Wait. Yeah, no, don't make.
21:22
It OK, so as she's still writhing around, the heat has
21:26
become so unfairable that you just end up letting her go and
21:30
she makes a mad dash, bursting between the two of you out the
21:33
front door, running past court aimlessly down the street.
21:38
I immediately run after her. Ruby, Ruby, love, Daddy's
21:42
coming. I'm going to drop a map of our
21:46
fair city, the Shattered Stone Pass, in the discord chat.
21:49
Oh. My God this is fucking bananas,
21:52
boys. Yeah, look at that.
21:55
So along with where you guys are centrally located in the town,
22:01
there is all your ex's house Krugal down to the southeast.
22:06
There is the guardhouse, which is basically the law enforcement
22:10
agency up in the northeast. And then there's also Lord
22:15
Torgan's matter. He's basically the the ruling
22:17
faction. Vassal.
22:19
The vassal of the village, yes. As you guys get outside, as
22:23
court has already seen, there is just troves of children running
22:28
back and forth, chasing adults with flails, catching some of
22:33
them, catching each other. They're recklessly swinging
22:36
these things and causing a mass of chaos and disorder in the
22:42
town. Outside I find I like, I find
22:46
court and I'm just seeing what he's seeing and I just go to him
22:49
and. Like what the bloody fuck is
22:52
this? Yeah, I, I, I've heard stories.
22:56
We've never seen anything like this myself.
22:59
I It's a real Hatch Berry cuckoos, Children of the Corn
23:03
kind of scenario. I only understood some of those
23:06
words, but I get what you're saying.
23:08
So as you guys are standing here in pure utter shock and and Bill
23:14
Wilderman was exactly as going on.
23:15
I immediately flashed back like. Wait, what am I thinking?
23:18
I I grabbed. Ruby.
23:20
Did you see Ruby? Which I Ruby go?
23:22
I I've seen things tonight like that we.
23:26
Points over at the woman laying motionless in the street.
23:30
I look. Down and like.
23:31
Oh my God, it's just me. Strong.
23:34
Bloody hell. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention
23:37
to where Ruby went and what happened.
23:39
Your case is as good as mine mate.
23:42
I come on thinking caps guys. Think about it, kid with flail.
23:48
Yeah. Attack Dog.
23:50
But why? Why do?
23:52
They remember. Remember that time I said that?
23:54
This is like, you know, Children of the Corn scenario.
23:57
Yes, that was. Literally 3.
23:59
Minutes ago. Yeah, more like 3 seconds, but
24:01
we'll move. On SO, time escapes me at the
24:03
moment. Kids went, grabbed flails,
24:08
chased Mrs. Stockport and then they they, they laid her out in
24:11
the street. Wait, wait, wait, wait flails.
24:14
All of them matching flails like they were given out.
24:17
This like the must have holiday Christmas item that you can get
24:21
at your local store. Get it now for 1995.
24:25
Buy one for Yorkshire loved ones and children.
24:29
This is a paid advertisement for the flails processing industry.
24:33
Anyways, sorry that was I don't know what came over there.
24:37
Good product. Placement.
24:38
But anyway. But lads, we have quite a
24:42
mystery on our hands Who, whoever gave much sweet precious
24:45
fruit that flail gave flails to all the other kids in the town.
24:49
Well, according to the Tagamus, her mother, her mother, who
24:51
cares very deeply about buying the child what she wants this
24:55
year for the holiday. Like a flail that.
24:58
Cold hearted witch. She's the one that did this.
25:02
I I immediately start walking, stomping towards Perugal's
25:07
house. I'll lean towards clerk if we're
25:10
going to see Perugal again. You think we'll she'll let us do
25:13
what we did the last time? Not a fucking word.
25:17
I get the top this time, not the bottom.
25:19
Shut your bloody pie hose or I'll shut them for you.
25:23
And as you guys are making your way towards Perugal's house and
25:26
walking by the bleeding, dying body of your good neighbor, Mrs.
25:31
Throckmorton. She looks that bitch, hands
25:34
reaching for some sort of semblance of help.
25:36
No time, Mommy, we got to go. It's just like this would be a
25:40
great time for a break. Like an advertisement, break a
25:44
break to let you know about flails available at your local
25:46
supermarket. Come one, come all, join us as
26:05
we dive into the dying world of More Ford and the Bored
26:09
Universe. Whispers of the Dying Lands is a
26:12
podcast with 1 mission to spread the word of Mecker Bell as third
26:17

26:22
Hi, your host Oloskos teams up with everyone's favorite scum,
26:26
Iron Tusk Tevin. From Flail to the Face, you sit
26:30
down with content creators to help promote and try to give
26:33

26:51
So you guys are standing out in front of the screaming donkey
26:55
Misses Throckmorton. Your lovely neighbor is bleeding
26:58
in the street and there are just groups of children swinging
27:03
these big monstrous bloodied flails chasing after random
27:07
villagers. You guys have decided that
27:09
you're going to go to see all of your ex-wife, Krugal.
27:13
Yes. I imagine that clutter and fell
27:17
Ben they're they're not ex husbands approval.
27:20
We just happen to have a very fun weekend at Cancun together.
27:24
You know yeah I I I don't mean to assume anybody's marital
27:27
status with the with the good Miss Pruegel but you guys are
27:31
actually just standing outside. Are you planning on arming
27:34
yourselves or are you guys just going to go gung ho?
27:38
What is What's the thought process as you guys are seeing
27:40
all this massacre in the? Streets.
27:44
Montage. It's Montage Guy, Yeah.
27:46
I'm going to grab my backpack with my crossbow.
27:49
And I have my crossbow. And then I have a large heavy
27:51
silver crucifix. I have my crossbow, I have my
27:56
scale armor on, and I have my Lantern.
28:00
I grab a knife, that's really all I my character she gave me
28:05
for a weapon is a fucking knife. 00.
28:10
They're only kids, so. That's true.
28:14
To them, it might be a dagger. Perfect.
28:17
OK. So you guys have armed yourself,
28:19
you guys are standing in the streets seeing all these groups
28:22
of children chasing villagers around, and you have a few
28:24
choices to get over to Frugal's house.
28:26
You could take the main streets, you could take like the back
28:29
streets, or you could take like some alleyways, just depending
28:32
on which route you want to go to get there.
28:34
Oh guys, I'm going to say we go ahead and do the backstreets.
28:38
It's what Prugal like. We are I believe that to be the
28:43
the case as. Rainbow shutters, but ultimately
28:46
agrees. OK, as you guys make your way
28:49
through the back streets as Frugal so likes you, round a
28:53
corner and you see one of the town's guard dragging his
28:57
shattered leg behind him as he's running away from a child that's
29:02
mercilessly swinging this flail at him and gaining ground.
29:06
So his leg is broken. His leg is broken and he's just
29:08
dragging behind him as he's trying to get away from the
29:11
child. But it's the town's guard.
29:13
It is one of the town's guard, yes.
29:14
And the kid is distracted. The kid is distracted a cat
29:17
motherfucker. Sorry, sorry about your luck and
29:19
I'm just going to keep going to improve I.
29:21
I I follow suit. I'm just focused on just getting
29:24
to prove it right. Through this backstreet, you're
29:26
basically going to have to pass the child and all we have is the
29:30
town's guard as you guys are passing by.
29:33
The child doesn't pay seem to pay you any money, no?
29:38
I. All right, I just kidding.
29:39
As we as we were getting close, if if the kid doesn't realize
29:43
it, I'm going to go throw a rock in the vicinity of that guard to
29:46
see if the kid will notice it. OK, As you throw the rock, the
29:50
child doesn't seem to pay it any mind and finally catches up with
29:54
the town's guard and takes out the other leg, dropping the
29:57
guard to the ground, and begins to mercilessly pummel this guard
30:02
to death with this flail. You know, all of this violence
30:05
might not be a bad thing. It could be a blessing in
30:08
disguise. Here.
30:09
I need to check out that that flail.
30:12
I Shank the child. Okay, go ahead and make an
30:15
attack roll. That's a 19 to shame.
30:18
Fucking God. Okay, so you have shanked this
30:23
child. You just went really dark
30:25
around, didn't you? Go ahead and roll damage.
30:29
I believe that's AD 4, yes. My old friend.
30:33
I did 3 damage. OK, so as you go and stab into
30:37
this child and twist and twist, it goes in deep, real deep into
30:42
the side. But as it gets to a certain
30:45
point, the child pulls away and you see just blood pouring out
30:49
of this child's chest. This poor boy is just bleeding
30:53
and bleeding, but somehow they're still up.
30:55
Roll Initiative. Do I stole my advantage for for
30:58
an oh wait, no initiative? Yeah, you are all initiative.
31:01
You do the the no. Because initiative is the six.
31:03
Yeah. My abilities I'll do the
31:06
initiative 5. That's you guys Child has
31:10
focused on court. The one that just stabbed them
31:13
as they were mercilessly pummeling this.
31:15
Guard and I stabbed that child again in the eye.
31:18
OK, make an attack. We'll make a sailor out of you.
31:21
Yet the ball. Would kill it first.
31:24
Another 19 shit. Fantastic.
31:27
All right. I would say roll damage, but you
31:28
can't possibly not kill this poor child.
31:31
Please tell me how you do this. I I once learned this when I was
31:35
sailing off the shore. And that's the sound it makes
31:39
when it goes into the child's brain and probably the last
31:42
thing that he hears. Perfect.
31:44
And as you stab this child in the eye, the child drops to the
31:47
ground, flail still clutched in its.
31:49
Merry Christmas. All right.
31:51
I would like to investigate the. Flail, you are one stone cold
31:55
motherfucker. OK, as you look at the flail in
31:57
the child's hand, you see that the hands on this flail seem to
32:01
be melted to the handle of this flail.
32:04
Like it's like welded. Oh.
32:06
But like, you know how hot that Ruby was?
32:09
Oh, so the skin just melted like it was hot steel into the as it
32:13
grips the flail. Yeah, like it's gripped so much
32:16
that the hand in the flesh is melted to the the handle of the
32:20
flail. OK, so it didn't like grow into
32:23
the flail. It's just burned into place,
32:26
Correct. Yeah, I'd not be using that.
32:28
I loot the guard. OK on the guard itself he is got
32:32
a short sword D6 damage. I will.
32:35
I will yoink that. OK, and as you guys are looting
32:39
this body, you hear behind you the sounds of more swinging and
32:45
bludgeoning and children laughing as they are
32:49
slaughtering the villagers. I think it's time for us to get
32:52
moving. I'm also a little worried that
32:55
Ruby's hand is going to. Start looking like that.
32:59
Oh, it's like my hands. Do you think she'll play piano
33:03
again? Do you think she'll play Vienna
33:05
again? I don't.
33:07
Think she ever actually learned? You're just wasting your money
33:09
on the lessons. She was good, she got the chords
33:13
right. She wasn't good.
33:15
She wasn't. She was Chopin.
33:17
And I keep walking. Toward Brutal's house.
33:20
All right, Mr. Gambino, go ahead and roll me AD 8.
33:22
AD 8. Oh.
33:24
Yes, please. You're going to use.
33:25
My little metal bag. Oh, fancy.
33:29
That's a 5. All right.
33:31
As you guys are making your way down this backstreet, you start
33:34
to round a corner. You see a group of 10 kids that
33:38
are busting out the glass in the corner store, and they're
33:42
grabbing just huge glass jars of candy.
33:46
And how they're doing it with these flails in their hands, I
33:49
don't know. I didn't think about that
33:51
logistically until I said it just now.
33:53
It was my immediate question, yeah.
33:55
They are bashing the the glass jars of candy and dumping their
34:00
heads into the pile of candy and glass and trying to devour as
34:04
much candy as possible. How much glass is stuck to their
34:07
face? Kevin will do have glass of
34:08
face. So much glass stuck to their
34:12
face, as it turns out, But there's about 10 kids, flails in
34:15
hand, face full of candy and glass.
34:17
They don't notice us. At the moment they have not
34:19
noticed you yet. And we have to walk past them in
34:22
order to proceed. Yes, well guys, I'd rather not
34:27
have to stab and maim additional kids, so if we could try to
34:30
sneak past this, this would be great.
34:33
Why I didn't have a problem with it?
34:34
I just look at. Side eye squinting next year
34:37
the. Hell is wrong with you mate.
34:39
Look, they're all glued to be maims for the rest of their
34:42
lives. So anything I did that little
34:44
lot of favor. I'm just going to sneak over.
34:46
Yeah, we're going to just sneak agility tests for everybody
34:50
that's sneaking DR10. Oh, that's 14.
34:58
Perfect. So as you guys are making your
35:00
way past this group of children, they are more than preoccupied
35:04
with cramming their face full of glass and candy.
35:07
Glass, candy, rock candy, candy and glass.
35:10
But. And they pay you no mind.
35:11
But even still in the background, you still hear the
35:14
sounds of the whole town being ravaged by flail wielding
35:18
children. But as you're progressing down
35:21
the backstreet, Mr. Pashley, go ahead and roll me AD8D8.
35:25
Was here. Get them away other days 6.
35:29
OK, so after making it down this long stretch, you finally get to
35:35
the perimeter of Kruegel's house.
35:37
And as you're getting to the perimeter, you do notice that
35:40
there are a group of four children taking their flails the
35:45
butt in and trying to bash in the door.
35:48
And you hear distant screaming inside of the house.
35:51
I encourage the children. Good, good.
35:55
Smash that house. Kill that bitch's kneecaps.
36:00
Don't we want to get some answers 1st?
36:01
Oh. Wait, what?
36:02
Wasn't it your decision to come here?
36:05
You. You.
36:05
We are following you. Finally guessing to me dancers
36:10
and. I just mumble.
36:13
Does this mean we get to kill more children?
36:15
That is not the goal. What is wrong with you man?
36:19
As you say that, you feel something rush against your leg
36:22
court and you see zooming past you Petunia making a mad dash
36:29
for the children that are beating down the front, yipping
36:33
and howling and just I thought a dog possessed.
36:37
I I would follow this dog into battle like I did many times in
36:42
my days in the military on the sea.
36:45
Yes, I go, I follow, but you all here is.
36:48
Yar, we must go kill these kids. I look at Felbin and I go.
36:53
When did we become friends with this guy and.
36:56
I'm kind of wondering, like, are we the bad guys now?
36:59
I mean, you don't want to. The kids aren't possessed by
37:02
evil and they're all horribly made, never fully recover.
37:04
If anything, we're doing them a favor.
37:06
It's outside them. Kill or be.
37:07
Killed. They're still children, right?
37:10
He's just yelling from a distance.
37:12
It's really like you're you're impressed with the fact that
37:16
he's still replying to what you have to say.
37:17
It's. Not a good luck capacity to tell
37:20
him no. I just knock an arrow in my
37:23
crossbow and I'm just like, oh, I really didn't want to do this.
37:29
OK, go ahead and roll for your attack.
37:31
Oh, I all right. I aim at one of the kids.
37:37
There you go. That doesn't feel good to say.
37:40
Holy fuck I roll double ones my crossbow explodes.
37:49
Twice. Oh God.
37:51
So as you knock the bolt in the crossbow, actually you tell me
37:57
how this fun. By some divine intervention, God
38:01
heard me out of the words. I guess I'm going to have to
38:03
kill a kid and my crossbow explodes like the as soon as I
38:12
pull it back the tension just breaks and the butt of it.
38:16
Hits me square. In the face and breaks my nose.
38:19
OK, take a point of damage. And I'm at 5.
38:24
As your crossbow explodes in your hand, the three of you
38:29
noticed that the beating of the flail butts against the doors
38:33
have stopped, and these four children have got their focus on
38:38
the three of you completely, and they start to charge.
38:43
Somebody please roll emission. I'll do.
38:45
It yeah, nobody trust me. 5. Nice.
38:50
That is you guys. I used my newly acquired short
38:54
sword to murder a child. Yes.
38:59
Short. Swords also available at
39:01
retailers that sell flames. Buy a short.
39:05
Sword today. So yeah, whatever child comes up
39:07
at me first just, you know, straight shot to the head
39:10
fantastic that's. Do I have any omens?
39:14
I have two omens. I would like to use up one of my
39:16
omens. I will allow it.
39:18
All right get out of here too. I rolled A1 with my omen.
39:23
Before then I had a 2. Go ahead and roll me.
39:26
AD 21 will be the sword breaks 2 will be the sword is loosed from
39:32
your hand. I have a knife.
39:34
OK, so tell me how you lose your sword.
39:39
Well. You see, this town was poorly
39:41
funded by its local Lord, Tugger Trigger McGee.
39:47
Tugger McGee. So, you know, just real cheap
39:50
metal basically went to swing it.
39:53
The peen on the pommel of the sword just wasn't really even
39:57
barely peed on there. So like the inertia of me, like
40:00
bringing the sword out just launched it over the head of the
40:04
kid. And just stuck into the wall of
40:07
the the house. That sounds about right.
40:11
OK, with that being said, who's next?
40:13
I guess I'll go, this'll be fun. Can I find like a rock or
40:17
something? Oh absolutely.
40:19
You can find any Rock You want to throw at.
40:21
These I pick up the biggest rock in Pruegel's yard, and I'm going
40:26
to use that as a bludgeon for this kid coming at me.
40:29
Absolutely, I would love for you to roll this.
40:33
This, this doesn't feel good, but we're going to do it.
40:38
I do not do it. OK, please explain what happens
40:43
exactly. So I pick up a rock and I like,
40:46
I threaten the kid like. Stay back.
40:48
I'm going to bring you with this.
40:49
I swear to go to bring you. And the kid keeps charging
40:52
towards me manically swinging it's flail and I just try to
40:57
overhead like smash the rock against it but I go why and I
41:02
misjudge like the height of the child's head in comparison to my
41:06
swing and I miss him completely. OK, Thomas Feldon.
41:10
Yeah, I'm really having like, this crisis of, you know, I got
41:15
to punch his kids through. So, like, he has this crossbow
41:19
and he's going to try to like, just basically maim 1.
41:22
He wants to just like, arrow to the knee.
41:25
I can't chase after him. OK, Perfect.
41:29
And IT presents. That is a 15.
41:33
All right, You shot an arrow into the child's knee.
41:37
What is the damage? That Crossbone was AD 80 Max.
41:42
Please roll that. Damage.
41:43
Roll that 8. Roll that 8.
41:45
That's a 7. Yes.
41:46
All right, I'm going to aim for the knee.
41:48
Oh, that's the head. Thomas, please tell me how you
41:54
killed this child. So basically is he lines up this
42:00
shot and he's like really intent.
42:02
I'm trying to take arrow to the knee.
42:04
And that last instant before he pulled the trigger, he like
42:07
closed his eye because he was just like, I, I can't believe
42:10
I'm doing this. And the shot actually goes up a
42:13
little bit and hits like that artery in the upper leg and
42:18
causing the kid to just fall unconscious.
42:20
And lead out there. Child drops.
42:24
I am a terrible person. Stop smiling.
42:27
Stop smiling. Yeah, I'd be proud of you, boy.
42:32
You're finally becoming a man unlike that child will never be.
42:37
What is wrong with you dear? Fucking God, man.
42:41
That being said, these three flail wielding children are
42:44
coming at the three of you. Everybody please make an agility
42:47
test in defense. That's 17.
42:52
Okay, that's 16 -, 3 that is a negative.
42:57
Wait, actually, if it's Agility, it's 18.
43:01
Yeah, no. I forgot to add it's a dirty 20.
43:05
Fantastic. I just got a 16.
43:07
OK so the ones that are swinging at Klort and Vogel, they are
43:13
still trying to get their balance down as they're swinging
43:16
it. The one coming after Felbin
43:19
basically runs over the one that was shot by Felbin using them as
43:26
a jumping point and swings whole hog at Felbin.
43:31
Please roll AD 8 for damage. That's a three, three points of
43:35
damage I'm going to spend in home and to try and reduce that.
43:38
I would love it if you did. You know you have two hit
43:41
points. That's a four.
43:44
Oh shit. So, Selvin, these children that
43:49
you know that their innocence is still there as this flail comes
43:53
swinging at you, Please tell me how this child takes you out.
43:56
Oh. My God.
43:58
No, I prevented the damage. Oh, you did?
44:00
OK, Disregard that whole thing. OK, so the child swings at you,
44:04
it trips over the arrow that was lodged in the other one's knee
44:07
and misses completely. Disregard the fact that you
44:10
died. OK, Somebody roll initiative.
44:12
Oh. They'll do it.
44:13
Shit, that's a term. That is them.
44:15
OK, so again, these children still whipping these flails
44:19
around, coming at the three of you in no particular order.
44:23
Everybody make an agility test to defend.
44:27
I got a 12. I got an 18. 13 All right,
44:31
they're still trying to balance themselves, trying to wield
44:35
these things you guys are narrowly avoiding as they are
44:37
missing your guys is attacked. Do we recognize these kids or
44:41
are we like? These are just some rando kids
44:43
from the village. Okay.
44:46
But you do see, just like you saw with Ruby, that all the
44:49
color has been drained from their skin.
44:51
Their eyes have kind of glossed over and have a bit of a pink,
44:55
pinkish red glow to it. I'm getting out of this.
44:59
I am going to try and climb like the side of Pruegel's house to
45:03
try to get to like an upper, like to the rooftop or like a
45:06
second story window or whatever, trying to get away from these
45:09
monsters. OK, Yeah, there's like a little
45:11
shack that's connected to Pruegel's house that you can get
45:14
on top of if you make an agility test.
45:18
Really good agility. I don't know, this seems like
45:20
the right thing to do. That's a three.
45:22
That is a three. So as you're making your way
45:24
past, you catch some loose dirt, you make it to the shed, but you
45:27
don't just. Crash through the front.
45:29
Of the shed rest. Of you guys.
45:33
Is there anything in the shed? Thomas is in the shed.
45:35
Now Thomas is in the. Shed.
45:36
I'm in the shed now, Belvin. All right, who's next?
45:40
I'm kind of hoping to see if I can find like an axe.
45:42
In the shed. I guess I will try to.
45:47
What's the word I'm looking for? I would like to.
45:54
On Judge. Alive via slitting of the
46:01
throat. A child.
46:07
OK, we are all going to be on a watch list because of this
46:09
episode, did you know that? What?
46:12
Why would we be on a a watch list?
46:15
Because I just went up from behind a child that like missed
46:19
his swing out of Mace and I tried to just, you know, grab
46:24
his head and, and just pull my knife along his his.
46:27
Throat. Slowly.
46:32
Did you make the attack? I think it was the 13.
46:37
That is a solid hit. Go ahead and roll your damage.
46:40
All right, back to the stupid knife.
46:44
Couldn't have a sword anymore. And you're short stuck in the
46:47
house. Yeah, that's only one damage.
46:51
All right, so as you. Know the child killing time for
46:55
Mr. Patchkey to be. The child lives.
47:00
Yeah, as you go to slice the child, it does nick the neck and
47:04
blood does start to trickle, but it doesn't seem to be slowing
47:08
down the child. Voggle I.
47:10
Would you try to unlodge the sword from the side of Frugal's
47:14
house? OK, go and make a strength
47:16
chest. Actually make an agility test to
47:20
get past these kids first. I'm gonna do that.
47:25
Watch me do that. That's a 15.
47:29
All right, now go and make a strength check as you zip past
47:32
these children to pull the sword out of the wall. 14 Perfect.
47:39
So you have successfully pulled the sword out of the wall.
47:42
And as you do, the front door opens and you see the town guard
47:47
leader, Sergeant Haversham, comes out with the sword and
47:51
he's kind of wrestling with his pants as he's coming out the
47:54
door. What the, what, what is going
47:56
on? What is what is going on out
47:57
here? So you've been spending time
47:59
with approval too. You guys know approval?
48:01
Yeah, I believe you were just warming her up.
48:04
I mean, she's never mind. Never mind what?
48:06
What the fuck is going on out here?
48:08
Oh, you know, it's just a normal Tuesday killing kids.
48:14
Claude what Claude don't understand.
48:17
We don't know what's going on either.
48:18
These kids just got they got that armor flails and you're
48:21
just killing people. That's.
48:23
Fucking you know how insane that sounds, right?
48:25
Yes, but look. Bloody look.
48:28
Roll initiative. Who's?
48:30
Doing it, Sure. You got to die.
48:32
You got a four. That is you guys.
48:34
So there's two children that haven't even been hit and then
48:37
there's one that's got a small nick on them and they are still
48:39
in proximity of you guys. I take the one child that I
48:42
nicked, I rotate him towards the the town's guard and you know.
48:47
Show him what you. Got.
48:48
I kind of give him a little nudge at the at the captain of
48:51
the guard. OK.
48:53
See what this does is it proves our point that the children are
48:56
vicious and attacking. So I'm hoping the kid will just
48:59
go attack the guard, therefore making him join our side of the
49:04
fight. OK.
49:05
And to further assist with Cloret's efforts, I will say.
49:10
Look, look, does that kid look normal?
49:12
He's got no color in his skin and his eyes are pink.
49:15
And he's trying to attack you. More importantly, he's trying to
49:20
kill us. Exactly, did you?
49:22
Hear the banging outside the door.
49:23
Yeah, I just thought it was Pruegel's 1030.
49:29
That's me. If, if if this were.
49:33
Any other day of the week, right, I would gut you like a
49:36
fish, but for now we have more pressing matters to deal with.
49:39
All right, so Mr. Patchkey is trying to weaponize the
49:43
possessed child against the down guard.
49:46
I'm. Just nudging it along the path
49:49
it wants to go on. You know what?
49:53
The child runs towards the guard.
49:55
See. It's nature, it's course.
50:01
All right, what would Thomas or Mr. Gambino like to do?
50:05
Well. I'm going to let that card that
50:08
Clark pushed towards the guard have Adam.
50:11
And I think what matters to me is going inside the house and
50:16
find proval, because proval to my notch is the source of if
50:19
it's if she was the source of Ruby's flail, then she must know
50:23
something about all the other ones.
50:24
OK, so as you end to the house, you see Pruegel getting herself
50:27
situated, but you could tell that she's just frantic, just
50:30
tears running from her eyes and she's she looks terrified.
50:34
I point my sword at her, and I go.
50:37
You to me, bitch, What'd you do to our daughter?
50:40
I don't know what you're talking about.
50:42
Don't. Well, you centered that stupid
50:44
flail in the bloody box and I. Didn't send anybody a flail.
50:48
Why would I send somebody a flail?
50:49
It's sex on the card. I court, you fucking idiot.
50:52
You know I can't write. I'm vagal.
50:55
Oh, so sorry. You know I can't write.
50:59
You all look alike. It's Clark out there.
51:01
I am here for my 11:00. I'm here for the 11:30.
51:08
Did you bring a friend? I'm still here.
51:11
Vagal just pinches the spot of his nose between his eyes.
51:17
That being said, Feldman, what are you doing that you were
51:21
still outside with a few of the Yeah, no, I was going to try and
51:24
follow suit with going into the house because I don't want to
51:29
fight these kids if I have to. He's off the clock.
51:31
You enter the room as well, you see.
51:34
Oh, hey, Pruegel. Hi, Felben.
51:35
So little early. Keep it in your pants.
51:39
Keep it in your pants. What Pruegel?
51:41
You don't know anything about the flails.
51:43
I have no idea about the flails. All I see is his children
51:46
running around with flails. That's why I've been hiding with
51:49
Sergeant Haversham. He's been in there protecting
51:51
me. Hiding Wink.
51:53
Wink, wink. Wink wink, wink, blink.
51:58
Hi, Clark. Oh fucking damn it.
52:00
As she's seeing this, you see Sergeant Haversham standing in
52:03
the doorway, a bit confused about this whole conversation.
52:07
As he's standing there you hear the sound of heavy spiked metal
52:13
contact with flesh and skull as the back of his head caves in
52:17
and he drops to the ground. Oh, too bad, so sad.
52:19
One of the children that you guys were fighting, standing
52:22
over him. OK, I loot the body.
52:25
He's going to get his sword now. Sure.
52:28
As you approach the body, the child that was standing there
52:31
stops what it's doing, turns around and walks into the yard
52:37
of a Pruegel's house. Oh like it like it like stops
52:40
the child stops attacking all together and just like turns
52:43
around and fuck off. All together.
52:45
Oh wow, the town guard had a short sword as well and roll
52:49
2D6. 2 and A5. OK, and seven silver in a small
52:53
pouch. Clor.
52:54
As you are looting the body of Sergeant Haversham, you notice
52:58
that not only is the child that just murdered him as walking
53:01
into the yard, but more children are starting to collect in the
53:05
yard. In Pruegel's yard.
53:07
In Pruegel's yard, there's 10, there's 25, there's 40.
53:11
All these children are just standing in the yard facing
53:15
Pruegel's house. I just raised my sword back up
53:17
at her and I'm just like. Bullshit.
53:19
What? This isn't me, I swear.
53:21
And as she says that, you see that the group of children
53:24
parked, and you see a teenage boy that you all recognize as
53:29
Lord Torgan walking from the crowd and standing in front of
53:33
them. Same drained color from his
53:35
skin, same reddish pink glow in his eyes, and he just stands
53:39
there laughing. Does he have a flail in his
53:41
hands? He does not have a flail in his
53:43
hands. Isn't it amazing?
53:46
Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?
53:48
He's so glorious, isn't? It lovely.
53:50
What have you done, you little twat?
53:53
Well, obviously I've taken care of the adult problem in this
53:56
town. Now I can do what I want.
53:59
I can do exactly what I want. Do I want this farm?
54:02
Of course I can have this farm. This is mine.
54:04
There's no one to tell me no. That store.
54:06
I can have all the candy I want. This is mine.
54:09
This is all mine. Fully mine.
54:11
Everything. Everything.
54:12
You, you ever stop to think to yourself there, boy, that you
54:16
were the Lord of the of the entire town?
54:19
Maybe it was already all yours. And as he says that, a few of
54:26
the children are nudging Lord Torgens parents, beaten and
54:30
bloodied, and bringing them to his feet, making them kneel
54:34
down. See Mother, see Father, see if I
54:37
can do anything I want now. But none of you can tell me
54:41
anything. Hey Chloe, it looks like you've
54:42
got competition for one fucked up motherfucker of the night.
54:45
Or maybe I was just right the whole time.
54:48
You're always right, we are. Shut.
54:51
Guarantee. Oh, oh, sorry.
54:55
As Lord Torksen is staring at his parents, beaten and
54:59
bloodied, a loud bang crashes and echoes through the town.
55:04
Thunderous shakes every wall around Kruegel's house shakes
55:08
harder than the 10:30 and the 11:45, but together.
55:11
God. Damn it.
55:13
The air is starting to fill with the smell of thick ozone and
55:18
it's starting to heavily snow just dumping down all around
55:23
everybody. Wolfer.
55:24
Ash. It's it's snow.
55:25
Oh, it's regular, but it is just it went from just being a light
55:29
doesn't choose just a heavy thick snow.
55:32
What the fuck it is? Oh, it takes.
55:34
As that crash shakes and rattles everything, it basically knocks
55:38
everybody on their ass, including Lord Torx, and you
55:40
guys are kind of shifted off of your balance.
55:45
Oh fuck. As the snow and every and the
55:48
dust starts to settle, a large dark hairy creature begins to
55:52
stand from the pile. Huge goat like horns, large
55:57
pointed tongue, sharp black fangs and he's standing right
56:00
there in front of Lord Torxen. You see Torxen's eyes just open
56:05
wide with fear as the creatures is walking towards him.
56:09
Oh. Oh, my.
56:10
Who? You want to know?
56:11
No. No.
56:12
What's What can possibly. You can't.
56:13
You can't do this. You can't do this.
56:15
I have my army of children. I can take you out.
56:17
I can take care. Anybody else?
56:18
Anybody else? As he's saying this, you see
56:21
that as he's pleading and begging for his life, he is
56:23
basically just standing in an ever expanding puddle of your
56:27
coating the snow around him. Without even saying a word, this
56:31
creature grabs Torx in by the throat and stuffs him into a
56:36
huge burlap sack. In one swift motion, he takes
56:41
the sack, beats it against the ground three times, and then
56:45
springs off into the air and out of sight.
56:48
Is that Uncle Ricky? Uncle Ricky, he's not supposed
56:51
to be here until next week. What?
56:53
You said you weren't going to see him anymore.
56:56
Well. He's my uncle.
56:59
That makes things a little awkward for me.
57:01
As the snow and everything starts to settle, you see the
57:05
children get their color back into their skin.
57:08
Their eyes fade from that reddish pink glow and their
57:12
hands let go of all the flails dropping to the ground around
57:15
them, their hands still scorched and burnt.
57:18
Names for life called. Do I see Ruby amongst the
57:22
children? Yes.
57:24
Ruby. Ohh, Ruby sweetie.
57:26
And I run toward her, and I scoop her up.
57:31
Oh, sweet baby. Ruby.
57:35
Oh, it's OK. It's OK.
57:36
We'll get some aloe Vera on baby.
57:38
It's OK, sweetie, it's OK. Felpen's gonna lean over to
57:44
court. Guess we won't have to listen to
57:46
the piano anymore. Yeah, all she could do is play
57:49
chopsticks. They'll probably be about the
57:53
same really, when you think about it.
57:55
And as you guys are saying this, you see the children still
57:58
confused, kind of walking around with their hands just burnt and
58:01
maimed. They started to disperse and you
58:04
see Ruby staring into Voggle's eyes, just looking at him and
58:09
saying do. These look infected.
58:12
Well, yeah, they do look a bit infected.
58:14
Now if you excuse me Ruby, I've got to talk to approval about a
58:17
possible 1230. I got to say, I'm not sure what
59:00
the point of that show was. The point is, they reunite at
59:03
the end of 1230. The point?
59:05
Is don't trust children, they will only grow up to hurt you I.
59:11
Mean yeah, that was a given, but I thought everyone knew that.
59:14
Well, it's it's, it's bears repeating and reiterated.
59:19
When you really look deep down to the subtext that the story
59:23
tells, it is about the group overcoming that what the, the
59:28
forces that oppose them and the evil that will come for us all.
59:32
The only thing you can do is band together and forgive one
59:35
another, much as the 12:30 appointment shows that Frugal
59:40
will reunite with her month's love and soon Ruby will have a
59:44
sibling. As Donnie talks, Colette sort of
59:48
flashes back to Christmases at her home, back when she married
59:51
her first husband, not Sal Guy named Vinny.
59:55
And she flashes back to Christmas at their house, and
1:00:01
fresh under the tree, she hears the stomping of her son.
1:00:05
Coming down the stairs and excitedly opening a present and
1:00:10
he rips it open and she remembers her son Gaetano.
1:00:14
Look at her and go mom. You got it.
1:00:16
How did you? Know how did you know what I.
1:00:18
Wanted and she kneels down in front of him and goes sweetie.
1:00:23
I always know what you want. And then I flashback to the TV
1:00:27
room. Beautiful.
1:00:29
Well, happy holidays everybody. Happy.
1:00:31

1:00:34
