  Greeting scum and welcome to Flail the Face.
• 0:03
  I'm Kevin. I'm in in the big boy chair and
• 0:06
  I don't know why. Somebody go.
• 0:09
  Oh yeah. It's me.
• 0:10
  Hello. Hello, I'm Levi.
• 0:13
  I will be playing a character named Craig Allen, one of the
• 0:16
  best. I know that guy and I'm Jacob,
• 0:18
  and I'll be playing a character named Pyro, and not for the
• 0:22
  reasons you think. I'm Thomas and I'll be playing a
• 0:26
  character named Kathvin. And I'm Walt and I'll be playing
• 0:29
  in Knocks Hex. No Knocks Hex.
• 0:31
  I don't near of those how you say it and I'm not going to get
• 0:33
  it right. So I'm going to keep going.
• 0:35
  Which is a class by my good friend Strega, Wolf and and
• 0:38
  Bear. Oh, and I'm playing the
• 0:40
  character too. I'm playing Yotna and we'll go
• 0:42
  into who these characters are after we explain what's going
• 0:46
  on. Got a note earlier in the mail
• 0:50
  the from appears to be from Chris and Nate saying they're
• 0:53
  headed off to Grift to pick up some milk and cigarettes.
• 0:57
  Be back soon. I've heard that before.
• 1:00
  So with that, we have somebody jumping in to run their game.
• 1:06
  You want to introduce yourself. Sure, thanks for having me.
• 1:09
  I'm Daniel and I wrote The Adventure of Black Antlers,
• 1:12
  which should be hitting the shelves sometime late this
• 1:16
  summer. Beautiful with that.
• 1:19
  Oh, there's something at the bottom of this note here.
• 1:23
  Hard to read. Oh, Flail.
• 1:53
  So I want you to imagine this white static noise like a like a
• 2:00
  like a distorting storm obscuring everything.
• 2:06
  There is this rumor that staying in well, a very featureless
• 2:12
  frosty landscape for too long slowly kills your brain.
• 2:17
  And it's it's clearly, well, as we're talking about these scum
• 2:21
  in particular, we're kind of like zooming in through this
• 2:26
  white static Blizzard like they say in Cyborg like ATV channel
• 2:31
  set to a dead set to a dead station.
• 2:33
  And who do we see kind of like slowly and miserably dragging
• 2:40
  their bodies through the frozen frontier?
• 2:42
  It's miserably cold, by the way. All right, boys.
• 2:46
  So do we know each other off the bat?
• 2:47
  Because in my in my head, I assume we just bumped into each
• 2:50
  other accidentally through this Blizzard.
• 2:52
  We can't see shit. I don't know you guys.
• 2:54
  Well, we rolled that group purpose for.
• 2:57
  Being what the fuck? What was the group purpose That
• 2:59
  was the? Salty reindeer meat you were.
• 3:01
  The salty reindeer meat. Yeah, we're trying to figure out
• 3:03
  why the meat. You were whole.
• 3:04
  Well, God, something like that. You were hired.
• 3:07
  That makes sense at at a Tavern Curgus by by a meat merchant
• 3:13
  who? Well, one of the delicacies he
• 3:15
  has been selling was that the salted reindeer jerky from a
• 3:22
  desolate place you've never heard of north of Krgos called
• 3:26
  Tuanella. The shipment stopped months ago
• 3:30
  and well, the supply does not meet the demand.
• 3:34
  It's not much silver involved, but to a scum like you it's a
• 3:38
  fortune. I had Daniel.
• 3:40
  I have one question. This.
• 3:41
  Meat vendor? Does he wear the equivalent or
• 3:44
  the exact sweatpants? I think he he had like very,
• 3:53
  very flamboyant salmon leather overalls, OK.
• 3:59
  That's a good look. I have AI have a golden drool at
• 4:01
  work. Never trust a chef in
• 4:03
  sweatpants. So just making sure, see if he's
• 4:06
  trusts. Me picture like like alligator
• 4:08
  leather but it's like salmon. God damn all.
• 4:11
  Right. But overalls, they're kind of
• 4:13
  like suspenders, so you know they're.
• 4:14
  They're suspenders cause and I respect this man.
• 4:20
  What is Gray shine I think we're supposed to be describing?
• 4:24
  Yeah. Just tell me how you're, how
• 4:26
  you're suffering through that, through that, like you're not
• 4:29
  sure if you went the wrong or the right direction or not as
• 4:32
  you've been, you've been travelling for what could have
• 4:35
  been hours or or days that the tundra is starting to to get to
• 4:41
  you. Well, the first guy you kind of
• 4:43
  see, I guess, would be Pyro, because he's asking all these
• 4:46
  questions here, talking to himself.
• 4:49
  And so my previous work environment has apparently
• 4:53
  hardened me, but it hasn't done much for my mobility.
• 4:57
  So you you probably see this man just limping like he's got a
• 5:00
  shoddy knee and a you. Have like snow up to your waist
• 5:03
  so we see the path kind of like carving through the crisp snow.
• 5:08
  I would be crawling through the snow.
• 5:10
  Then I have AI have a shoddy knee.
• 5:12
  Wonderful. You got snowshoes?
• 5:14
  No, I don't have snowshoes. OK, well, I'm I'm, I'm just
• 5:18
  trying to, I'm just trying to keep up with the group.
• 5:20
  Then I guess, limping through the snow.
• 5:23
  Dragging your your your good leg and and well in in front of the
• 5:29
  the limping and nagging pyro who's ahead.
• 5:33
  Ahead of the limping man is a large, like kind of hulking
• 5:38
  mass, has the head of a lizard and down its back is it has like
• 5:45
  what looks almost like coarse fur.
• 5:47
  But then it extends more into quills running down his spine.
• 5:52
  And he's just kind of like trudging along.
• 5:54
  And he hasn't like a large muscular tail off the back,
• 5:57
  which I imagine actually the old guy limping along is holding
• 6:01
  onto the tail to kind of drag him through the snow a little
• 6:03
  bit. Oh yeah, that's.
• 6:05
  Fine. And as I'm just like walking
• 6:07
  along, he has like he reaches into his pouch and pulls out
• 6:11
  herbs that have like crawling insects and stuff as well.
• 6:14
  And he just, like, jams it into his mouth.
• 6:16
  And as he starts drooling, he collects bits of his drool in
• 6:21
  these little blacks. They've actually turned into
• 6:23
  like a like a popsicle by now of like these insects.
• 6:26
  So it's like one of those like, disgusting, like cabaret
• 6:29
  desserts. Perfect.
• 6:32
  So then he just like will pop it into his mouth, and then as it
• 6:34
  melts down and drips out of his mouth, he'll bottle some of it
• 6:38
  up. Like a Jolly Rancher.
• 6:40
  Yeah, All right. As he is pulling out the bag and
• 6:45
  going for a snack, the black hooded and cloaked figure ahead
• 6:49
  of him turns around and says. Hey, let me get one of those.
• 6:53
  I'm out. Jesus Christ, my God, uncalled
• 6:59
  for. This is mine.
• 7:01
  Yeah, but it could be mine too keep.
• 7:03
  Walking. You need to learn to share.
• 7:04
  We're all in this together. And then just motion to just
• 7:08
  keep going forward. Yeah, fuck you too.
• 7:12
  Well, then ahead of this cloaked figure, you see a really like
• 7:17
  real thin, gaunt, pale woman, stringy hair, just tattered rags
• 7:24
  that's walking a a donkey next to them.
• 7:27
  And she's got her other hand that's not holding the the range
• 7:32
  for the donkey on the back of the gentleman in front of her.
• 7:37
  And she's not not so much like holding on, but kind of like
• 7:40
  pushing him along. Try to keep pushing him.
• 7:43
  Forward and I I guess before introducing Levi's character
• 7:46
  that Levi to the other members of your little adventuring
• 7:51
  party, know that you have no fucking idea where you're going
• 7:54
  whatsoever. No, no, not at all.
• 7:58
  But the mule in front of him is kind of leading him the.
• 8:01
  Way. And from the mule there is a
• 8:03
  long rope wrapped around my neck, pulling me along, and all
• 8:08
  you see is this really short in stature, wide man who's dressed
• 8:13
  as a old timey. Is that like the the Beast Chill
• 8:16
  variety of autoerotic asphyxiation or something?
• 8:20
  You could say that. You think Casey falls?
• 8:21
  Asleep at the wheel because I I I do believe that you have
• 8:26
  spoken with a great confidence until it got below a certain
• 8:29
  temperature that you absolutely knew where you were going and
• 8:33
  was innated to this lens. Oh 100%.
• 8:37
  Don't worry, I will lead us to justice and victory against this
• 8:42
  reindeer meter, whatever we're doing here.
• 8:46
  Is there a reason my crippled ass cannot sit on top of this
• 8:50
  this this mule instead of being dragged around?
• 8:53
  Oh, he doesn't like being ridden.
• 8:55
  He just likes to drag me along. And you never bothered to ask to
• 9:00
  be on my end either, so you could kindly fuck off just.
• 9:03
  As you're you're kind of like evaluating the two of you in
• 9:07
  front there, which ones of your your compatriots have the
• 9:12
  fattiest meats on their bones. The storm kind of like kind of
• 9:15
  like gives up for just a moment and you start seeing, let's say,
• 9:21
  because he's being dragged along on his back, that pyro you see
• 9:26
  like this bundle of flesh frozen next to you.
• 9:33
  It seems to be like a collage of of various body types and and
• 9:38
  faces and then fingers and and insides under likes made into
• 9:43
  one horrific ice sculpture as more of the wind clears out
• 9:47
  these silhouettes of little ramshackle.
• 9:50
  It was like biking cabins like these these like the the roofs
• 9:54
  reach all the way down to the snow where they're almost half
• 9:57
  buried there. There is like a like a great big
• 10:00
  town central fireplace. If you ever seen Asperx and
• 10:04
  stuff, it's kind of like like that.
• 10:06
  And it's also like like snuffed completely out.
• 10:09
  Then it's like like half covered in snow.
• 10:11
  Everything is painted in blood, which has long, long ago frozen.
• 10:17
  And there is this like hanging sign with great set of antlers
• 10:21
  on top of it that's like barely creaking in the wind.
• 10:25
  The the ice attempts to to keep it suspended.
• 10:31
  That reads welcome to to Anella. You're right in the middle of
• 10:35
  City side of Town Center. I think we made it to our
• 10:38
  location. Oh, it looks like you actually
• 10:41
  know where you're going after all.
• 10:43
  You can always trust the Jackass.
• 10:47
  Hey, hey. I knew you could do it, Tommy.
• 10:51
  No, you. Didn't I know?
• 10:53
  It didn't I just got never mind. Should we get inside and out of
• 10:57
  the weather? Yeah, probably.
• 10:59
  How do we get in? We'll start digging.
• 11:02
  I'm going to take my Candlestick and break off a chunk of like
• 11:05
  that ice flesh or whatever and then throw it through a window.
• 11:08
  Yeah, you, you, you break off what appears to be previously
• 11:12
  healthy and able bodied child's forearm with cracks with
• 11:16
  satisfying a snap. And you see there's still like a
• 11:19
  little a little spot of like like warm and and soft
• 11:23
  intestines in the middle, almost like like slightly defrosted
• 11:28
  around you. You either There is, by the way.
• 11:31
  It's completely quiet. There is this smell of salt and
• 11:34
  iron. Well, you put me in an awkward
• 11:37
  position, Daniel, because I'm a I'm also not a not so secret
• 11:42
  cannibal and I pull out some intestines.
• 11:44
  Oh yeah, I'm a I'm gonna look at Pyro and just to cure a monster.
• 11:48
  Yeah, it's like that part of them cracks in your fingers as
• 11:50
  you as you rip them out. Then like releases this, this
• 11:53
  Dane essence more than the smell as the the the smell of like
• 11:58
  death is so strong here. Your animals are almost like
• 12:01
  like pulling back at their reigns as as death is everywhere
• 12:04
  in this village. And even though the reason for
• 12:07
  this mass murder is unclear, it is still pretty fucking obvious
• 12:11
  why the deliveries have halted. I'm gonna nudge Craig Allen.
• 12:16
  Are you gonna give me any intestines as well, or are you
• 12:19
  just gonna let me starve? Well.
• 12:21
  You have two hands yourself, you know.
• 12:24
  Yeah, but be a gentleman. Feed your wife.
• 12:26
  What the Hell's wrong with you? I'm.
• 12:28
  Just floating along here getting pulled and tugged the way I like
• 12:31
  it. Can I fit through a window that
• 12:33
  I broke? There's not many windows some
• 12:36
  days these these houses as they are these like almost like lean
• 12:39
  to long houses. There's a couple of couple of
• 12:42
  people here seem to even have lived in like big tents made of
• 12:45
  like reindeer hide. There's about 12 houses here all
• 12:48
  together. Fairly fairly humble habit.
• 12:52
  Which one looks like the biggest Vestas?
• 12:54
  Oh, there is a long house that seems to be like the like the
• 12:57
  the the meeting hall or the need hall or something.
• 13:00
  Is there any chimneys with smoke coming out?
• 13:03
  As you look around here you see like one of the bigger tents
• 13:08
  towards the back has like a dying snake of of black smoke
• 13:15
  escaping up before disappearing into the the snowstorm up above.
• 13:19
  So the smoke is it's signs of life.
• 13:22
  Let's go investigate that. I can use some warmth.
• 13:26
  I mean, I might be big, but fat freezes cold.
• 13:29
  So do you all, do you all go towards the smoke or do any of
• 13:32
  you attempt to enter the most impressive long house?
• 13:38
  Oh yeah. I'm going.
• 13:39
  I'm, I'm vain. Great, right?
• 13:42
  I'm going to, I'm going to stumble my way up to that one
• 13:44
  and try to find a way in there. Just hack through the roof.
• 13:47
  With my Candlestick is. That.
• 13:49
  All you have for a sore back and a shoddy knee and a Candlestick.
• 13:52
  Are you entering the longhouse by yourself or anyone else?
• 13:55
  Anyone else? If, if none of these guys
• 13:58
  followed me, I'm, I'm just trying to get, get out of the
• 14:00
  cold so my knee will warm up and you know.
• 14:05
  Kevin's going to follow Pyro, hence the guy had been riding on
• 14:09
  his tail most of the trek up here so.
• 14:11
  No, I wouldn't say I was riding it.
• 14:13
  It was more like just you were pulling me.
• 14:16
  I was pulling you. Out sleeping half the way.
• 14:18
  I've slept in worse. Conditions so you you kind of
• 14:20
  like shuffle the snow away from the front of very rustic door to
• 14:27
  central longhouse, which also like most most other things here
• 14:29
  have like antlers and A and a reindeer skull mounted above the
• 14:33
  door and something written in a runic language that your your
• 14:38
  your literate minds surely can't read as a Creek open.
• 14:43
  The first thing that meets you is well, hanging from one of the
• 14:46
  beams in the ceiling as the torso of what could have been
• 14:49
  your grandmother swinging back and forth with a missing jaw
• 14:54
  that completely flayed and well, let me see.
• 14:58
  We're going to use a generator I made for the first time here.
• 15:01
  Can one of you roll me D12? I got you 10 and give me another
• 15:07
  one as well just to see where it went.
• 15:09
  Two. OK, so you notice that it seems
• 15:14
  like child or a dog that would have attempted to do surgery
• 15:21
  that that the stomach of this woman is removed and, and the
• 15:25
  the crudest and least delicate manner possible.
• 15:29
  It's like a mockery of butchering the way this
• 15:32
  completely played flag Buster ladies like hanging upside down
• 15:35
  in front of you, like right in front of your face.
• 15:37
  As you open the door. It takes a moment before you
• 15:39
  realize that she's she's dead. All right, I'm going to prod her
• 15:42
  forehead. Hey, you're in my way.
• 15:46
  Oh shit, I think she might actually be dead.
• 15:49
  I'm observant of you. Yeah, well, I'm just going off
• 15:53
  of what my details are around, you know, opening this.
• 15:56
  Door and yeah, there's there's a fireplace that's long frozen.
• 16:01
  It's like this little icicles that like hang down and and
• 16:03
  almost like penetrate the ground underneath and into the dashes.
• 16:07
  And it seems to be a a quite a fight here.
• 16:10
  There's a table with a wooden cutlery and plates.
• 16:14
  It's been flipped over. There's the wind is still
• 16:17
  blowing in through cracks and and walls.
• 16:21
  However, it appears to be a neat excuse for shelter.
• 16:25
  I'm going to skirt around that dead body and try to pick up any
• 16:28
  Tinder I can find, head towards that fireplace and use my
• 16:32
  Candlestick to start a small fire.
• 16:33
  It's. Going to take a while, so we're
• 16:34
  going to go over to the. I'm a blacksmith, I know all
• 16:37
  about fires and stocking it. I'll follow behind him, but I'll
• 16:42
  try to cut the body down and just kind of take in the
• 16:45
  surroundings. You're right, we're gonna need
• 16:47
  something to eat later. Hey, aren't you cold blooded?
• 16:50
  No, that's just an assumption. Oh right, my bad, I don't.
• 16:56
  How the fuck did you get in here?
• 16:57
  I'm not. I'm actually with the other
• 16:59
  guys. Oh.
• 17:01
  And we're in here, too. So meanwhile, by the tent
• 17:05
  outside, you're like following this like trail of murder and
• 17:12
  death. And some of the pink snow behind
• 17:15
  you has even turned yellow as one of your donkeys is in fact
• 17:18
  pissing itself in fear at this moment.
• 17:22
  But you do come to this like, bigger tent.
• 17:25
  And as you open the tent and look inside, you see a little
• 17:29
  pretty impressive pile of children's skulls burnt and
• 17:34
  flayed recently, snuffed out by something.
• 17:37
  And before you step into the tent, you'll notice, just as
• 17:41
  it's like where the entrance of the tent begins, these these
• 17:44
  hoof Marks and the snow underneath your feet.
• 17:46
  Well that's a terrible idea. Everyone knows skulls don't
• 17:49
  burn. What a bad idea for a fire.
• 17:52
  Yeah, no, I mean, could he use coal or something else that,
• 17:55
  hey, we're getting that go inside to go out of the weather,
• 17:59
  move the skulls. I don't know why there's so many
• 18:02
  kids skulls here. We we all know adults are the
• 18:05
  way to go when you're hungry. Well obviously fuck them kids,
• 18:08
  but let's get out of the fucking weather and inside the tent.
• 18:11
  And we need some tender old meat.
• 18:15
  Some fucking old people jerky. As you you step inside and
• 18:20
  you're like kind of like brushing off the ash.
• 18:23
  Although some of the like the like rugs that are still
• 18:26
  stretched out here, you notice that one of them is not reindeer
• 18:29
  hide but in fact made from very poorly cured human skin with
• 18:34
  some weird actions in it saying heretic murderers frozen to
• 18:40
  death for all eternity. It looks like it was written by
• 18:42
  a three-year old who barely learned how to write.
• 18:44
  Dips. That one's fine.
• 18:46
  All yours, Krogel. That where it is a Cape.
• 18:48
  Great. I name it Mort.
• 18:51
  It's gonna be. Mort.
• 18:53
  Oh, thank you. Hey, quit trying to mow my lawn.
• 18:55
  Shut up, don't take orders from you.
• 18:57
  Hey, we're settled. With the hostility here, we're
• 19:03
  all cold. Yeah, but she started it and now
• 19:05
  I'm getting hot. Why you got to make me so hot?
• 19:08
  He's coming. Guns, please.
• 19:09
  Is this? A cool situation.
• 19:12
  All I was say, hey Craig Allen, shut up.
• 19:14
  The grown-ups are talking me. Up.
• 19:16
  Craig. Allen.
• 19:17
  Yeah, tell me what to do. I'll.
• 19:18
  Tell. You what?
• 19:20
  To do. All I'm saying is this is.
• 19:22
  Fucking. Obviously we're all hungry,
• 19:24
  we're all cold. We need to fucking calm down and
• 19:28
  I don't know, I'm I'm fucking starving and I'm tired and I'm
• 19:31
  cold, Craig make a fucking fire. I.
• 19:34
  Bet I can tell you how many skulls are in that pile.
• 19:37
  I don't care. Make a fire please, honey.
• 19:41
  With the friction in this room, there's no possibility we won't
• 19:44
  start a fire in here. I can't tell where this is
• 19:46
  going. I don't.
• 19:48
  I don't either. This is gonna be a second time
• 19:52
  or angry time we're. Gonna have to put a mature
• 19:54
  warning on there for sexual content.
• 19:59
  That's just Levi. Rated L for so you all just like
• 20:05
  get cozy in in each your your tent and and and longhouse.
• 20:10
  Almost like a system of class is already establishing.
• 20:13
  Oh. Yeah, I'm gonna say right now,
• 20:15
  Thomas and I are gonna be the winners.
• 20:17
  We're going to survive this. Well, yeah, because you're not
• 20:21
  in the room with the. I'm not in the angry sex room.
• 20:26
  The potential catfight at any time.
• 20:28
  Tension is killer. Oh.
• 20:30
  Fuck you up. I'm, I'm going to take some of
• 20:32
  these skulls and try to like friction, the fire, you know?
• 20:35
  What are you, Tom Hanks and Castaway?
• 20:37
  I've. Never done this before, usually
• 20:40
  Yutna does it for me. Eventually you do manage to
• 20:43
  Starfire and you'll get like like warmed up.
• 20:47
  For now, it is it's it's a hassle to maintain it.
• 20:51
  And and I'll say that like during during this time, as
• 20:53
  you've gotten nice and and cozy in the scenic landscape, you
• 20:57
  you've also like gotten some glimpses of the landscape
• 21:02
  whenever there is like a little little break in the storm.
• 21:05
  The most obvious thing is, of course, the giant black antlered
• 21:09
  monolith to the north that appears to fade in and out of
• 21:14
  vision. Oh yeah, that's always been
• 21:16
  there. It seems to be either well
• 21:19
  decently sized monument pretty close, or a huge impossible
• 21:24
  construction further away. You've also seen a little little
• 21:28
  pond down to down to the West, and from the trail behind you
• 21:33
  there's apparently a a a forest that you must have completely
• 21:37
  walked around while getting here.
• 21:39
  Can I cut those trees? You have tree hate in your eyes,
• 21:43
  don't you? I do.
• 21:46
  But I think while like while gathering wood, then getting
• 21:49
  ready to well, choose your next course of action, you see, you
• 21:54
  see a couple of a couple of like signs of the lake, the woods and
• 21:59
  the giant monolith up to your north.
• 22:01
  OK, aside from just the skulls that are in this the tent,
• 22:06
  there's nothing else in here. Not really, except, well, the
• 22:10
  the roads or whatever does give you a a fair advantage against
• 22:15
  cold outside. So it's like thick and shag?
• 22:18
  Like, yeah, it is. It's like, it's, it's like, it's
• 22:20
  like human shaved leather with emphasis on shaved.
• 22:28
  I'm gonna grab some of that and put it around me like a cloak.
• 22:32
  Didn't Prugel just put that on? Isn't there a lot of?
• 22:34
  It it's, it's, it's, it's more than enough human letters to go
• 22:37
  around here. You find like and and it, it
• 22:40
  almost seems like, well, I'll say what's Craig Allen from
• 22:45
  your, which is a fine native name for a, for A to an Allen
• 22:48
  settler. By the way, that that through
• 22:52
  your through the, the pacification of this culture
• 22:56
  that you claim as your own. You have you can, you can see
• 23:00
  that this is almost like a human poaching station, but you're
• 23:04
  pretty sure that tunnel is famous for reindeer meat, not
• 23:08
  human. You've seen a, a, a salt mill,
• 23:12
  which is grinding human bones, tanning racks with more human
• 23:16
  leather on it, all of it with, with the precision of a drunken
• 23:21
  child. And it's, it's, it's almost like
• 23:24
  like it became like the whole village became more suicidal
• 23:27
  than you after you stole that land.
• 23:29
  Oh wow. Oh, this is very interesting.
• 23:33
  All this human flesh, there's little bits of hair covered in
• 23:37
  in it. It's weird.
• 23:39
  Look, Catherine, some yellow snow.
• 23:41
  Eat it. It's banana flavour.
• 23:43
  Eat it. I instead take another of the
• 23:46
  like frozen herb and insect ice ball and stick it slowly in my
• 23:50
  mouth. OK Gers, I'm watching you.
• 23:53
  That's rightfully disgusting. Why is she so angry?
• 23:57
  Will somebody feed her and myself?
• 23:59
  I'm fucking starving. What the fuck do we do now?
• 24:04
  I mean, we have to find what the hell happened to all the
• 24:06
  reindeer beach, right There's. Not a sign of reindeer here.
• 24:09
  Nothing except the anthers that are mounted on certain certain
• 24:12
  houses and on on signs and stuff like that.
• 24:16
  I've seen this before. Hostile takeover marketing
• 24:19
  schemes. All that used to work with a guy
• 24:21
  named Spin went back in GESHPIC. It looks like the reindeer may
• 24:27
  have finally just said fuck this, we're going to sell you
• 24:29
  guys. So mystery solved.
• 24:32
  Should we just go back and tell tell the boss This cold's really
• 24:34
  getting to my knee? That sounds like a real complex
• 24:38
  back story and I doubt it's that.
• 24:41
  Failed it. But we should probably continue
• 24:44
  to look for any sort of signs of struggle or survivors.
• 24:49
  Well, there's struggle over there, struggle here, struggle
• 24:51
  under my foot, there's struggle everywhere.
• 24:54
  Right, but where did it come from?
• 24:56
  Fair enough. Kath's been.
• 24:58
  I'll go and, you know, sit in the long house for a hot minute.
• 25:02
  Maybe I can find a long cabinet full of long folders.
• 25:07
  Maybe some details in there? Yes, cause 'cause sitting and
• 25:09
  waiting for stuff to happen is always a good.
• 25:12
  And I'm gonna point at my knee and give it a little slap.
• 25:14
  Slap. Yeah, You know, shoddy knee and
• 25:16
  all. Plus my back's getting a little
• 25:18
  sore. Just come grab me.
• 25:21
  I'll I'm gonna go check things out over here.
• 25:23
  Yeah, sure. And I will turn.
• 25:26
  And as I like, turn, my tail's gonna whip and hit him in the
• 25:29
  bad knee. God, God fucking what the fuck?
• 25:32
  Are you kidding me? Cheap shot, man, Cheap shot.
• 25:36
  And then I'm gonna go and just kind of like check the perimeter
• 25:39
  of the village to see like I can find like any additional tracks
• 25:43
  of something that caved. In I'm gonna follow Keswin and
• 25:46
  just keep arguing with him. You know, you don't have to do
• 25:49
  that kind of bullshit. Look, I woke up.
• 25:52
  Hey, actually, it was a little bit better.
• 25:54
  Where you going? Wait for.
• 25:55
  Me tail slap again knocks it back out.
• 25:58
  You piece of shit. So Kevin is checking the
• 26:04
  proximity of the village or anyone else going with him or
• 26:08
  checking any other directions, I'll say.
• 26:10
  I'm gonna go with him and try to get him to fucking knock my knee
• 26:12
  back into place. Right on.
• 26:14
  Would you consider these antlers as like an improvised weapon,
• 26:17
  and if So, what sort of damage would you?
• 26:21
  Say I'm rolling old school and these antlers would definitely
• 26:24
  do D4 damage in its pure state, but could easily be chiseled
• 26:30
  into something more accurate and stab worthy.
• 26:36
  Stabbable no like stab works for.
• 26:39
  Me, I like stabbable either way. Yeah, it could be chiseled into
• 26:43
  something that would deal these six, but at its current state,
• 26:45
  it's a, it's a, it's AB4. Right up my alley.
• 26:48
  OK, perfect. What I'd like to do 'cause I the
• 26:51
  only other weapon I have is a femur, which, yeah, I'd like to
• 26:55
  take one of the antlers off the wall or wherever it is and try
• 26:59
  to lash it together to my femur. So it's more of like a like a
• 27:03
  pokey pull arm sort of thing, or it's like a staff and then
• 27:06
  eventually whittle it down so I can get more damage out of it.
• 27:08
  But that's neither here nor there.
• 27:10
  So do I need to make a roll to put it together or just it?
• 27:14
  It just takes some time. That's it.
• 27:16
  What you're doing is is fairly, fairly foolproof.
• 27:19
  You know what? We'll do it at A.
• 27:20
  This is Markborg. We'll do it at A at a difficulty
• 27:22
  rating 6, so everyone gets a chance to laugh at you if you
• 27:25
  fail, so you can do. AI laugh at him already.
• 27:30
  Yeah, let's do a pre over challenge rating of 6.
• 27:33
  OK, well I got a three. You got a three somehow your
• 27:37
  your femur breaks and you accidentally stab yourself
• 27:40
  slightly in the eye in a in a loud and and worthy way for
• 27:45
  scums such as yourself and take D2 damage.
• 27:47
  Son of. A fucking.
• 27:49
  Bitch. It's the first time you've taken
• 27:53
  it in the eye. He might be.
• 27:54
  Dead. I'm at one hit point.
• 27:58
  Oh my God, I took two damage you.
• 28:03
  Did. One thing.
• 28:05
  I know, never do that again. Take a hit of your life elixir.
• 28:09
  You might need that. Oh.
• 28:10
  Fuck, right? Flash that bad ride in your eye,
• 28:13
  yeah? I'll say one of you are are near
• 28:17
  enough you can you can definitely try to waste your
• 28:21
  resources on on on saving this this very frail.
• 28:26
  He tried to help himself. He's on his own.
• 28:29
  I was trying to help the rest of the group.
• 28:30
  Craig, get these fucking bones out of my eye.
• 28:32
  Please. I'm gonna just hold my bloody
• 28:34
  eye open as it's pouring down my cheek.
• 28:37
  Oh. That's so gross I can't even
• 28:40
  look at you. You do notice that that the bone
• 28:43
  is jagged fairly deep in there and removing it would possibly
• 28:47
  paralyze them, so I think it's best to just leave it in there
• 28:50
  actually. Yeah, find Pyro.
• 28:51
  He's a blacksmith. He can.
• 28:53
  He can get that out. It's a good look for you, it
• 28:55
  looks so nice. Do you think I look pretty?
• 28:57
  Am I still beautiful? Oh.
• 28:58
  Don't point just. Cover it.
• 29:02
  What I'm gonna? Do now human skin, and I'm gonna
• 29:05
  cover his eye with human skin. Yeah, I was actually gonna say
• 29:08
  I'm gonna try to fashion a fucking eye patch out of the
• 29:10
  flesh and just like a secondary eyelid.
• 29:13
  Well, yeah, you, you want to hold that Shard in place.
• 29:16
  You don't want your eyeball moving around a whole lot with
• 29:18
  that in there. You're just gonna have more
• 29:19
  damage over time. Yep.
• 29:21
  Well, you know, with this broken antler, it's pretty sharp.
• 29:24
  Now it looks like he could do D6 damage or something.
• 29:26
  Oh, it's the femur that he sharpened.
• 29:28
  That was the femur. No, what I was trying to do is
• 29:30
  tie the femur and the antler together so but it I fail
• 29:36
  anyways. Well, you can head butt for
• 29:39
  damage now, so that's something. But is that gonna shove the the
• 29:43
  bone right into my? I'll say there's a one in six
• 29:45
  chance of that happening. Yes.
• 29:48
  Oh my God, that's so awesome. I love.
• 29:52
  That you know, you said head butt for D6.
• 29:56
  Before one in D6, chance of well, and I'm gonna make a quick
• 30:02
  table for effects of what can happen when that happens, just
• 30:05
  for fun. That's awesome.
• 30:07
  One of them is definitely a parallelization, like from from
• 30:10
  the waist and below. Nice, I like this game.
• 30:13
  Hell. Yeah.
• 30:14
  Let's let's make us more of a problem.
• 30:18
  However, let's move to that the boring this Gooby gang.
• 30:22
  And then I go to Keflin, who is currently checking out the
• 30:25
  proximities. Would you slow down?
• 30:27
  I don't understand how fat you You're a lizard in the middle of
• 30:31
  winter out here and you're moving so much faster than me.
• 30:33
  I'm also part porcupine. Yeah, I don't know what that is.
• 30:37
  Sorry, never seen one. I just thought you had some
• 30:40
  weird lizard acting going on. So Kevin, you're like kind of
• 30:43
  like carving your own path through the pink snow here.
• 30:47
  And you do see a see a blood trail that is seemingly
• 30:50
  stretching to the north towards that giant monolith until it
• 30:55
  kind of like gets into like this, this spot a couple of 100
• 30:59
  meters outside of town where it's just like completely snowed
• 31:02
  over. But the monolith becomes like
• 31:04
  clearer and clearer. And underneath it's further away
• 31:08
  than it seems. And underneath it, it's almost
• 31:10
  like this dancing strange Aurora borealis and like almost like
• 31:15
  this, this like retro wave neon colours dancing in the distance.
• 31:23
  As it gets a little bit darker, it becomes more radiant.
• 31:26
  Wow, look at. That Technicolor?
• 31:28
  Oh yeah. Yes, this is not a great sign.
• 31:34
  We should probably. Go get the answers just moving
• 31:37
  because the the monolith definitely has answers.
• 31:39
  You know, if I were going to find reindeer meat, it'd
• 31:41
  probably be at the giant and I'm going to gesture towards the
• 31:44
  monolith. I'm just saying like there's
• 31:46
  nothing back at at home base there.
• 31:48
  Sure, let's go get the others and let's go check this out.
• 31:52
  Are you the you want? You want to get involved with
• 31:55
  all of them really our. I feel like our survival chances
• 31:58
  are better if we just keep moving, but we.
• 32:01
  Just we need meat Shields here and I'm also going to like.
• 32:05
  Do you see what I'm wearing? And I point at my fucking armor.
• 32:09
  And I I grab him and I actually like give him one more tail
• 32:13
  flick to his knee to like try and straighten it back out.
• 32:16
  Hey. Oh, thank you.
• 32:18
  Thank you, Catherine. All right.
• 32:20
  Now you can run away from them and leave.
• 32:22
  Them behind I just didn't want to it's further to go back and
• 32:25
  my knee is fucking was killing me.
• 32:27
  But now, now I feel comfortable walking a few extra, you know,
• 32:30
  meters, whatever, 300 to one. Let's let's get them now.
• 32:35
  OK, you're dueling again, by the way.
• 32:38
  You want me to get that for you? Or uncork and collect a little
• 32:42
  bit more into a vial. You got any more of those hard
• 32:45
  candies for me too? As you're and as the two of you
• 32:48
  are moving out here, I think it's time to make our first
• 32:51
  Frost Fever check. At a difficulty rating of 12 for
• 32:55
  both of you, that would be a a toughness check and you can just
• 33:00
  let me know what you get. I approached the bench.
• 33:06
  It says in my description your working environment has hardened
• 33:09
  you. Yes, I would.
• 33:12
  Say so. So let's make yours A10 instead
• 33:15
  of a 12 for this particular, all right?
• 33:18
  I got a dirty 20 so. Let's stop. 2920. 920.
• 33:28
  No, all of that panic and you just roll out of it anyway, so.
• 33:33
  It's kind of warm out here and I'm gonna take off a like a
• 33:35
  woolly sweater underneath my plate armor.
• 33:39
  You need this Kaspen You're you're looking a little dry.
• 33:43
  Thanks and I'll like as I put it on my quills will just like rip
• 33:47
  up the back. Of the yeah, thank you.
• 33:49
  I I didn't need that back. Oh, so it's a Snuggie now?
• 33:54
  And as you're like, well, getting getting rather
• 33:55
  comfortable and and and this God forsaken cold as you've been so
• 34:00
  used to your own annoying voices for so many, so many days,
• 34:04
  hours, months, who cares? Now you hear like the first kind
• 34:09
  of like alien voice from what appears to be like NE of you,
• 34:14
  almost like a like a like a after echo carried by the wind.
• 34:19
  We should have we should have listened.
• 34:22
  It's not our fault. And there's like a silhouette
• 34:25
  out there hunchbacked, kind of like aimlessly fumbling through
• 34:30
  the snow up towards the North East.
• 34:33
  I'm gonna look at Captain real quick.
• 34:35
  Are we going back or do we want to investigate this, this
• 34:39
  gentleman out here? This is more clues, I think they
• 34:43
  can catch up. OK, I mean, we left a pretty
• 34:46
  good trail. All of my look back at the weird
• 34:50
  awkward trail will be left with your tail, like obviously WAVY
• 34:52
  making a a sidewalk. Pretty much they'll be able to
• 34:55
  find us. It'll be fine.
• 34:56
  And we'll we'll have spinning face of the ugliest character in
• 34:59
  the group do a do a scooby-doo transitioning to the rest of you
• 35:03
  who are back at the longhouse. Fire is cracking.
• 35:07
  As long as one of you maintains it and and actively lookout so
• 35:11
  it doesn't snuff out you, you have like a well.
• 35:14
  I don't know what your current presence that was, but your
• 35:18
  dating career as is is over. I'm married anyways, it doesn't
• 35:24
  matter. This is true, you're all getting
• 35:27
  rather comfy as it has been a while since the others left.
• 35:30
  What are the rest of you you all doing in the long house?
• 35:34
  It's it's eerily quiet. I don't know about them, but I'm
• 35:37
  taking a break. Oh God,
• 36:02
  So welcome back to Flail, Flail to the face.
• 36:05
  I'm Daniel. I've been running Black Antlers,
• 36:08
  which is my very new adventure, which I'm very proud of for all
• 36:11
  the scary people in this podcast.
• 36:16
  God, that fucking hurts. Yeah, when we left off, we were
• 36:24
  still exploring and getting comfy in the desecrated winter
• 36:28
  Wonderland that is to Anella, where no one has gotten to taste
• 36:32
  sweet side effects of hypothermia yet.
• 36:34
  Which, because it points me a great deal.
• 36:37
  I I. Some of us can't afford to,
• 36:39
  yeah. Well, there's a lot of
• 36:43
  affordable real estate up here, as a reasoned.
• 36:46
  However, I believe Craig Prugal and Yutna are still in the
• 36:53
  longhouse after performing some improvised surgery and Kef, Wynn
• 37:00
  and Pyro saw someone who mysterious rogue figure kind of
• 37:04
  like stumbling through the snow and talking to themselves or
• 37:09
  practicing their lines. You're you're not completely
• 37:11
  sure as yeah, you were, you were considering whether to go as a
• 37:19
  dynamic duo that you surely are not, or go and tell the others
• 37:23
  like, like cowards. Yeah, calls you up.
• 37:26
  Yeah, straight up. So what do you do?
• 37:29
  They they can follow our trail. Let's let's check out this
• 37:32
  shadowy figure. Oh, I completely agree.
• 37:35
  You know, we've been travelling for a while, Captain.
• 37:37
  Do you people only have like one name?
• 37:40
  No. OK, I'm just trying to open up
• 37:43
  to you man. So my full name is Pironius Tax,
• 37:47
  if that means anything for you. Like maybe you've heard of me.
• 37:51
  No, I haven't. I haven't heard of you at all,
• 37:53
  and I don't really have a people.
• 37:56
  I was assembled this way from some mad scientist and it's
• 38:01
  interesting. It's very interesting.
• 38:04
  Yeah, it's, it's complicated. More like a complex backstroke.
• 38:09
  Wait, we already did that. OK, well you know, with my knee
• 38:12
  feeling better, I'll lead the charge on this one.
• 38:15
  Here have some of this and I hold a a vial.
• 38:18
  Oh, is it? Is it tasty?
• 38:20
  It tastes like like axle grease and it has a consistency of like
• 38:27
  cold syrup. Just like what I used to make.
• 38:30
  I'm gonna pocket that and then turn around and.
• 38:33
  Oh no, you need to drink that. Oh oh.
• 38:36
  'Cause I need the glass back. Wow.
• 38:40
  All right, I'll, I'll uncap this thing and just slam it back real
• 38:44
  quick. As you're kind of like
• 38:47
  approaching the figure I, I assume you've been like you've
• 38:50
  been moving carefully and slowly up through the snow.
• 38:54
  Why don't, why don't you go ahead and roll me a a reaction,
• 38:58
  an NPC reaction? Quick quick thing Jake.
• 39:01
  That was one of my little drool potions you gain 1D6 temporary
• 39:09
  hit points for. 15 minutes. Damn.
• 39:12
  OK, I got one. There you go.
• 39:15
  You feel slightly better. Feel slightly.
• 39:17
  Better. Yes, you can roll a reaction
• 39:20
  check for for the hooded figure to see how hungry, delirious or
• 39:26
  lonely he currently is. Oh my, Atlanta, you roll one,
• 39:29
  I'll roll the other. All right.
• 39:31
  Teamwork. I got a one.
• 39:33
  I got a 2. All right, as you approach it,
• 39:36
  you see the figure kind of like stops moaning for yet a moment
• 39:41
  as it's like hoax, almost like like merely like merely moved by
• 39:46
  the wind, as if there was no will to live left in it.
• 39:50
  And you see what is apparently about like 40 feet away from
• 39:56
  you, a a, a covered in dry blood, frozen snot and tears.
• 40:02
  What looks more human than what you might expect, if a bit
• 40:06
  malnourished. His his clad and, and a reindeer
• 40:09
  hide that he wears as a Cape and has kind of like a like a helmet
• 40:14
  or warm horn that's like facing downwards.
• 40:16
  And the other appeared to be broken off, probably for for for
• 40:19
  drinking purposes. And he like, points at you, you
• 40:24
  heretics, liars. And he starts like slowly and
• 40:29
  dramatically halting towards you at an extremely slow pace.
• 40:33
  What do you do? I'm gonna.
• 40:34
  Look over at Kathben. Don't worry about it bro, I got
• 40:37
  this one. I'm a walk over and just kind of
• 40:40
  push him down all. Right.
• 40:42
  Let's let's try that. So as you will also with well
• 40:47
  pull your your incredibly sturdy leg, even with the additional
• 40:50
  hit points not move at 2 great speed.
• 40:53
  I think you can roll me an initiative between the two of
• 40:56
  you as you're kind of like slow moving through the snow.
• 40:59
  What a. What an anti climatic start to
• 41:01
  the fight. Just two old grumpy men
• 41:05
  approaching each other. I got a four.
• 41:07
  That's you all right so you like you you notice that if you lean
• 41:10
  forward through the firm snow now you can you can gain an
• 41:14
  uppercut I'm. I'm gonna, I'm gonna brace
• 41:16
  myself and I'm gonna hold my fists up like a like an old
• 41:19
  timey boxer and call me a liar. I'll show you what for.
• 41:23
  You lied of our ancestors of our heritage foul Chieftain.
• 41:30
  I don't even know and he like reaches out his hands as you're
• 41:34
  able to do whatever you want before he like slowly a very
• 41:37
  comfortable pace comes towards you for the snow and.
• 41:40
  I swear to. God, I'll put you down.
• 41:42
  Give me your strength. Check there.
• 41:44
  God, that's a 14 and I give him a quick swift uppercut.
• 41:49
  Perfect. So you're like, you're gonna
• 41:51
  like sock him right in the jaw, roll your damage.
• 41:54
  That'll be you don't have a weapon right now, I presume or.
• 41:57
  I have a Candlestick, but I'm just giving him an old left,
• 41:59
  yeah. Give me D 40.
• 42:01
  Oh, those are big numbers. Kill this hungry gentleman if
• 42:04
  you if you have the opportunity. Or do you want to knock him out
• 42:07
  of the project? I don't know yet what's what's 3
• 42:09
  damage do. Three damage that could
• 42:11
  potentially kill him. It's on his last pref it seems.
• 42:13
  Oh my gosh, yeah. I, I fucking give him that
• 42:16
  uppercut. And then I, I, I pull up into a
• 42:19
  boxer stance, old timey one. I told you son, I'll fucking
• 42:22
  make you shit grease. Yeah, kind of like falls down
• 42:25
  comedically towards you. So like smashing his nose
• 42:28
  against your kneecap as he slides down slowly And is it the
• 42:35
  bad kneecap? Absolutely.
• 42:37
  Oh what? What?
• 42:39
  God damn it, get the quick while he's down.
• 42:43
  He's like twitching on the ground in front of you, almost
• 42:47
  like a like a epileptic attack. As as the low amount of
• 42:51
  adrenaline he had left in his brain is quickly making way for
• 42:55
  his sensory systems that now realizes that he's very cold and
• 42:59
  closely dying. Yeah, Captain is just going to
• 43:02
  like dogpile on him and try to like start like binding him.
• 43:05
  And you, you, you hog tie him like, like a prophetic excuse
• 43:08
  for a rodeo bowl. And he's, he's kind of like
• 43:12
  grunting and opening and closing his mouth with the eyes rolled
• 43:15
  to the back of his skull. He could just as well step on
• 43:18
  his head and kill him right now with no, no effort whatsoever.
• 43:21
  I'm. Trying to get information from
• 43:22
  this. This Yeah, Let's drag him back
• 43:25
  to the others and see if we can warm him up.
• 43:28
  I have 30 feet of this rusty chain, so we'll just hog time
• 43:32
  and then, you know, use the rest of it and pull.
• 43:34
  This is cool. Unfortunately, Catherine landed
• 43:37
  on my jotty knee, so you're gonna have to, you know.
• 43:40
  It's fine, let's let's just do this again.
• 43:43
  And then there's like the loud pop as I put it like back into
• 43:46
  place. God, OK, I don't think I can
• 43:49
  take much more of this today. I need to rest my knee here,
• 43:52
  regardless of what it's sitting. You you just pull them all
• 43:55
  right? Sure.
• 43:57
  Here, you're a good, you're a good boy, Kaspen.
• 43:59
  Dragging him behind us as we head back to where?
• 44:05
  As you're looking towards the direction where he came from,
• 44:08
  you see that like his trail goes up to like a northern wood that
• 44:12
  stretches almost like a horseshoe around to Anella and
• 44:16
  to down towards that frozen lake that I mentioned earlier.
• 44:20
  And just as it seems like the storm is about to wake up from
• 44:26
  from it's little nap, you see like a like a trail of smoke
• 44:30
  coming from the woods. I wonder if they.
• 44:32
  Caught up to us. It's definitely not the one from
• 44:35
  the longhouse, and I believe we'll change to the other gang
• 44:38
  now. Well, inside the longhouse, it's
• 44:40
  been about like half an hour since the others left.
• 44:43
  You're trying out your new eye antler head extension.
• 44:48
  Probably bulking into a couple of things there.
• 44:52
  Here is it again, Yotna. Yeah, as as you, you hope this
• 44:56
  won't complicate you and your your husband's.
• 44:59
  Love life oh, we've been through worse.
• 45:03
  I wonder where those those shit bricks said we're with?
• 45:06
  I wonder what they've been up to they.
• 45:08
  Probably did. That's unfortunate for them.
• 45:12
  The dumbass is running off into fucking nowhere.
• 45:15
  Hey, cool down there. You're probably not far behind.
• 45:17
  No, I'm sorry. This, this fucking antler in my
• 45:20
  head right now. It's it's got me all, all fucked
• 45:23
  up in the never mind whatever, I'm gonna sit down for a while.
• 45:27
  She stands just standing there. I'm just awkwardly standing over
• 45:31
  the pile of skulls. I'm gonna sit down for a while
• 45:32
  and just staring with the one good eye at the pile of skulls.
• 45:36
  As she's sitting down on the skulls, or as as frugal as
• 45:40
  sitting down on the skulls, whoever of you is most annoyed
• 45:44
  and wished there were somewhere else can only a presence check
• 45:47
  that's. Probably me.
• 45:48
  Probably. Yeah.
• 45:48
  See my. Friends +2 at least.
• 45:52
  Lucky. Almost like a video that was
• 45:54
  like slightly out of sync, 'cause you're about to sit down
• 45:57
  on the pile of skulls, The rattling of bones comes a little
• 46:00
  bit sooner and you hear like, what sounds like the clacking of
• 46:04
  joints hitting together, but it seems like it's coming from
• 46:09
  outside the longhouse that. Doesn't sound too good.
• 46:12
  I grabbed my warhammer. Oh wait, do you have a fucking
• 46:15
  warhammer? Yeah.
• 46:17
  Prugy Bear. Prugy Bear.
• 46:19
  So that's why no one, no one's killed him yet.
• 46:22
  Craig Allen, go see what that was.
• 46:24
  Oh, I'm so comfortable here wrapping I'll.
• 46:28
  Give a shit go, I don't. Really like you to boss me
• 46:33
  around. Actually, I couldn't.
• 46:34
  Do that, and as I'm telling him to go, I'm actually just staring
• 46:37
  completely in the opposite direction of where he's at.
• 46:40
  Like I'm sure she's fine. I'm fine, go see what the fuck's
• 46:45
  going on outside I. Guess so.
• 46:47
  I'm gonna meander over to the the doorway and.
• 46:51
  Don't worry, I'll take care of you.
• 46:52
  No, as I tap my warhammer against the palm.
• 46:55
  I fucking heard that. I don't know where you are
• 46:57
  though. To Craig Allen, as you step
• 47:00
  outside, would you mind rolling me AD 4 and 2D twelves please?
• 47:05
  Yeah, all the dice. Interesting.
• 47:09
  So on my D4 I got a 12D, twelves 5 and a one.
• 47:13
  Five and a one. That's gotta be good.
• 47:16
  Sounds great. Why does it gotta be good?
• 47:18
  What What about any of this is good?
• 47:20
  Oh yeah, and, and I would like AD 6 on top of that too.
• 47:24
  Yeah, you know, low, low numbers on the dice, but a lot of dice,
• 47:27
  buddy. A #2 As you step outside you,
• 47:32
  you get this like weird almost like this associating sensation
• 47:37
  as we look towards the lake and see in between the houses.
• 47:41
  And for a moment, it's like almost like this this per
• 47:44
  version of a very idyllic like postcard because in front of the
• 47:48
  lake between the houses, you see what first appears to be a
• 47:52
  dancing reindeer playing in the snow right uphill from the lake.
• 47:57
  It's like pouncing every time it lands.
• 47:59
  You hear like bones rattling. However, where a regular
• 48:03
  reindeer would have would be covered in soft and fluffy fur,
• 48:07
  you see a bundle of human livers stitched together kind of like
• 48:13
  stretched out over it and like juggled it like the butters on a
• 48:16
  cow, but all over it. Like it's it's just covered in
• 48:19
  this sacks of liver where would prefer would be.
• 48:22
  And it's like it's playing and jumping in like half circles and
• 48:25
  like reaching it's now towards the sky and and tackling
• 48:30
  together it deep and it stops and looks at you and then it
• 48:33
  keeps playing. That thing does not look right.
• 48:36
  There's something wrong with this deer over here, honey.
• 48:40
  There's something wrong with you too.
• 48:41
  Oh, you don't judge. You got to come look at this
• 48:44
  thing. It's.
• 48:44
  Creepy. OK, and I'm going to start
• 48:45
  walking towards the opposite side of the tent.
• 48:48
  You're in a longhouse right now. Around.
• 48:50
  Please. You're you walk towards the back
• 48:52
  of like the fireplace to work like that.
• 48:54
  The far end of the smash table and staring to the wall, I
• 48:56
  guess. Yeah.
• 48:58
  I grab her by the shoulders and maneuver around in Central.
• 49:01
  Oh, yeah. Thank you, sweetie.
• 49:03
  OK. You got to look at all these
• 49:05
  milkers. Yeah, it takes a second as
• 49:07
  you're standing outside there. I have a roller reaction.
• 49:11
  Roll for the reindeer here. Oh, damn, that's interesting.
• 49:15
  Got an egg. So.
• 49:17
  I like the sound of that one bit.
• 49:19
  So as you're, you're just like looking at it and it's like it's
• 49:24
  notice to you. Like it absolutely certainly
• 49:26
  has, but it's like it just keeps playing like it.
• 49:30
  It lays down and like kind of like starts rolling around on
• 49:33
  its back in the snow and like jumps on a frosty corpse like
• 49:38
  and like kind of smashes it with like light and elegant steps
• 49:41
  followed by this juggling guts hanging down its side.
• 49:45
  It's kind of. Beautiful, beautiful.
• 49:48
  It's having fun. I'm gonna go make friends.
• 49:50
  I feel like. That's a bad.
• 49:53
  I'll go. Well, there you go thinking.
• 49:54
  Again, I'll go with you, and I'm going to put my hand on Krugal's
• 49:56
  shoulder and let her guide. Don't touch me, hey?
• 49:59
  That's my shoulder. That fuck off Craig Allen, you
• 50:03
  fucking turd. And.
• 50:08
  This is the most toxic marriage I've been, right?
• 50:11
  This is not from experience. So did you push?
• 50:17
  Do you push you up now? First, Like, almost like, almost
• 50:22
  like a polearm infantry. Yeah.
• 50:24
  Like both hands on her shoulders, guiding her head.
• 50:27
  Oh yeah. OK, let's go make friends, I
• 50:29
  suppose. Come.
• 50:31
  On Jackass. And you step closer and you see
• 50:33
  that, like the reindeer turns around and starts like just as
• 50:36
  you're like getting about 10 feet away from it, it turns
• 50:39
  around and starts like pouncing teasingly, like downhill.
• 50:43
  And it reveals a sign behind it, wooden and rotten, almost like
• 50:48
  having flipped over in the snow, only held up by like the very
• 50:52
  firm layers of ice. And it reads warning, no fishing
• 50:58
  mall rush. Mall rush.
• 51:00
  Yeah. And if I tossing down towards
• 51:02
  the lake and you see it like, like keeps playing down there
• 51:04
  until it eventually disappears out of sight.
• 51:07
  You had no time for your eye exam, Can you read that?
• 51:09
  I'll put my hand on the antler like I'm blocking my eye so I
• 51:14
  could try to read with my good eye warning involved less I did,
• 51:19
  yeah. So.
• 51:20
  No, it's just free fish man, your eyes are really bad anyway.
• 51:24
  Go play with that deer. No, no, come on.
• 51:27
  It's creepy and disfigured and beautiful and elegant.
• 51:30
  So we're not going to go play with it.
• 51:32
  So I. Think that's a.
• 51:33
  Bad idea getting you on down. Almost like it's like it want
• 51:36
  like you're not sure if it wants you to follow it or if it just
• 51:38
  thinks you're like ruining it's beautiful, elegant liver, liver
• 51:44
  filled play time. Yeah, I would say at this time
• 51:47
  is when Pyro and Kefin show up. You're just gonna like see all
• 51:52
  three of them like standing there and like looking,
• 51:53
  scratching their heads and like insulting each other, looking
• 51:56
  down over to the lake as they're looking at something.
• 51:58
  That must be very cool you. Just waiting for the sunset or
• 52:02
  whoa, hey, how, where? The.
• 52:05
  Hell, did you come from? Oh, you know, we're just out
• 52:08
  doing our fucking jobs while you three are making home and doing
• 52:11
  whatever weird shit you do together.
• 52:13
  And the you know what? Glad you're alive I guess.
• 52:17
  Yeah, we thought you were dead. Kind of disappointing, actually.
• 52:20
  We found clues and I'm like, hold up the person we've been
• 52:24
  dragging behind us. I don't, so don't sound so proud
• 52:28
  of yourself. We found clues.
• 52:28
  Forgive us for our ignorance. And is he kind of like the the
• 52:32
  hog tied to an Ellen native that looks very much like the people
• 52:36
  you pillaged and burned and held up like a like a price hog,
• 52:40
  completely delirious, almost dead from frostbite and a solid
• 52:44
  uppercut from a cripple. Yeah.
• 52:47
  So as you're like, like coming out catching up to the others,
• 52:49
  you see like, well, the the behind of of this, this reindeer
• 52:53
  as it as it prounces in between the trees and disappears out of
• 52:56
  sight. And you see this this big frozen
• 52:59
  lake probably would to take you like an hour to walk around it.
• 53:03
  On the other side of it, you see nothing but like static white
• 53:06
  storm that seems to be almost like like circling around the
• 53:11
  village. And for Kevluin and Pyro, what
• 53:16
  are your what are your presence like?
• 53:18
  My presence score is -1. -2. No, Sir.
• 53:23
  Read. Yeah, you see, you see this lake
• 53:26
  down there and, and the sign which I don't know if you can
• 53:28
  read or not. Oh, I can read.
• 53:31
  I'm literate this time around, yeah.
• 53:34
  Morning. No fishing Mallrus.
• 53:38
  All right, I've been around obviously a little bit here.
• 53:41
  Would I know what a Mallrus is? Yeah, you heard what?
• 53:45
  You've been around here. Well, not here, but I've been,
• 53:48
  I've I've been traveling as a blacksmith.
• 53:50
  No, it seems like a typo. Seems like a typo.
• 53:53
  It's like it seems like it's maybe it's supposed to be an an
• 53:57
  an M, but it clearly makes very little sense.
• 54:01
  I mean, if you there's, there's not much else besides the
• 54:04
  reindeer, which you haven't seen a sign of, except that that Bony
• 54:07
  leg that just disappeared into the forest to to live from.
• 54:09
  I think that's supposed. To say walrus, but I'm not sure
• 54:12
  why they illiterate. You can't trust anyone that's
• 54:15
  illiterate. What are you?
• 54:16
  What are you guys fucking staring at?
• 54:18
  To be fair, Like we have a job to do.
• 54:20
  Why are Why are you just staring?
• 54:23
  Look, it's been a long, rough day.
• 54:24
  I've got a fucking Atlas stuck to it.
• 54:26
  Stuck in my. Eye I don't care about.
• 54:28
  That I didn't think you fucking would either.
• 54:30
  Anyways, who's your fucking friend?
• 54:33
  Thank you, dear Smooches. Oh, keep that atom away so.
• 54:37
  Sharp doomed for our ancestors crimes.
• 54:41
  Please relieve or reveal. It just keeps.
• 54:43
  Talking a lot about. Crimes and save us from our
• 54:45
  misery. We are our children.
• 54:49
  We need to thaw this guy out. I think he's killing all the
• 54:52
  kids. That's what it sounds like.
• 54:55
  Back in the tent in interrogate I suppose.
• 54:57
  Yeah, I like me a good beat down.
• 55:01
  All right, so you, you, you bring him back something on the
• 55:05
  floor. It's not a problem.
• 55:07
  He's like, he's like, looks like he's trying to like, like he's
• 55:09
  been out and and he's only got like snow blindness.
• 55:13
  So he's like turning his head. That's like that that the
• 55:15
  shadows and and actual structures of this house seems
• 55:19
  familiar, yet very disorienting to him.
• 55:22
  He's just like bumbling on the on the floor, not trying to get
• 55:25
  out. More like a confused dying
• 55:27
  animal. I'm going to put my Candlestick
• 55:30
  to his throat and try to interrogate him.
• 55:33
  What do? You know about this place?
• 55:34
  Why were you out in the in the middle of nowhere wandering
• 55:37
  around? Why you saying all this weird
• 55:38
  shit? I don't have time for this,
• 55:40
  Sunny. I give him a little slap with my
• 55:41
  left hand. He kind of like looks and
• 55:44
  slightly and off direction to your face as if he's talking as
• 55:48
  if he thinks you're you're like a bit further away like her
• 55:52
  fault to witch. Bruegel, did you do this?
• 55:57
  I thought it was Yutna. I didn't.
• 56:00
  Who's the witch? Tell me and I'm going to I'm
• 56:02
  going to throttle him again with my left.
• 56:04
  Hand, blasphemous, cut, angered by exile, the 1st and truest of
• 56:13
  heretics, hiding in a red mist like a coward.
• 56:17
  Should have killed her long ago. Spared our children.
• 56:23
  I think this has to do with more of a cult then it is the beef
• 56:28
  jerky part or whatever the reindeer jerky.
• 56:31
  I don't know, it sounds like she has a nice personality.
• 56:33
  Did you say jerky? Yes, you want some.
• 56:37
  Yeah, he kind of smacks his dried out lips and he's a part
• 56:40
  of one of them is so frosty that kind of like crumbles and
• 56:43
  flosses off a little bit. Yeah.
• 56:47
  I'm going to take some of the intestines that I pulled out
• 56:49
  earlier and shove them in his mouth.
• 56:52
  He's tied up so. OK, as he like, smacks on it,
• 56:56
  you see, he regains a little bit of like pinkish color around his
• 56:59
  frosty lips as he kind of like gets a little bit of clarity in
• 57:02
  his eyes and he starts crying. Oh my, my dearest daughter, I'm
• 57:07
  so sorry I had to do this but it's so tasty.
• 57:14
  Well, there's more where that came from if you explain what
• 57:17
  you did. Did you do this?
• 57:18
  And I just heard all the well, no, we're talking about it now.
• 57:23
  Actually, I hope you would talk more about it now.
• 57:26
  We are humble trade interrupted by the vile which is heresy
• 57:33
  after being exiled. Don't.
• 57:35
  Make me slap you again. Kind of like tries to move away,
• 57:39
  like hits his head back into your new cap again, the bad one,
• 57:43
  but going to avoid well, where you think you're coming from.
• 57:46
  And he's like, oh fuck no. We exiled the witch.
• 57:51
  She turned our trade against us. The antler the herd murdered and
• 57:57
  terrorized our village only survived.
• 58:02
  All her fault. Deer did this.
• 58:04
  Those were what was left of our herd.
• 58:08
  Flayed our our fathers, salted our children's meat.
• 58:15
  He smacks his lips, kind of like it's almost a pleasant memory,
• 58:18
  and he'll be kind of like looks towards where the more more
• 58:21
  intestines might be. I I shove a little more
• 58:23
  intestines in there and then turned around to the group.
• 58:26
  He he cries some more as you do that, as like more tears flows
• 58:30
  down and his cold eyes and you're picking at some kind of
• 58:34
  weird trauma guilt thing here, but you're not quite sure what
• 58:38
  it is. Or maybe you are.
• 58:39
  I have an idea. If we're dealing with occult and
• 58:45
  the witch, I mean we saw that monolith out there that is true,
• 58:50
  just to get that. Unless you three slack offs
• 58:54
  found anything interesting. No, not at all.
• 58:57
  I haven't seen shit as I'm like just touching the antler.
• 59:01
  Why are you talking to that wall?
• 59:02
  Captain And what? Where are you, Captain And Pyro
• 59:05
  saw something else. What?
• 59:06
  Did you see out there a monolith, you said?
• 59:10
  Well, I thought as we were coming back that maybe you guys
• 59:12
  caught up to us and there was a little bit of smoke out in the
• 59:15
  woods. We could swing by there and then
• 59:18
  head towards the monolith. Oh yeah, that sacrifice altar,
• 59:21
  that's that's where we sacrifice our well, you're talking.
• 59:24
  About that is. Calves.
• 59:25
  Your finest calves, huh? And would there any be any
• 59:27
  reason for this witch to be there?
• 59:31
  Oh, she's hiding in the red mist, up north, up, up E, like a
• 59:36
  coward hiding from her own sins. She cannot hide from Loaferlawn,
• 59:42
  not when Kalma seeks revenge on her.
• 59:45
  I should have more intestines in his mouth.
• 59:49
  I think like his his kind of like like frosty head is now
• 59:52
  kind of like getting comfortable in your lap like a big like a
• 59:56
  cat puppy thing suckling on the intestines that you're feeding
• 1:00:00
  him baby bird crying about his dead daughter that something
• 1:00:06
  happened to. Well, I I think we pack up this
• 1:00:09
  this circus and go check out this Ulta real quick.
• 1:00:13
  We don't have to carry this thing around, do we?
• 1:00:15
  No, I was planning on leaving him here.
• 1:00:18
  No, I, I think I'm gonna hold on to him, actually.
• 1:00:21
  I'm gonna free up his legs a little bit and then wrap the
• 1:00:23
  chain around my waist and grab some more intestines around the
• 1:00:27
  area, whatever more I can get. And then, like, lead him with
• 1:00:30
  me. Yeah.
• 1:00:31
  Yeah, it's it's it's fairly. Let's say you you got.
• 1:00:34
  Look, I got my own Jackass now. Craig Allen. 30 feet of
• 1:00:38
  intestine rope seems and we'll we'll decrease it by the 10 feet
• 1:00:44
  each hour for how much he manages to suckle up as he's
• 1:00:46
  walking behind you. And he is just going to town on
• 1:00:51
  that stuff. He looks like he hasn't eaten
• 1:00:53
  for very, very long. He's slurping it like a
• 1:00:55
  spaghetti noodle. Yeah, or he's going to eat me
• 1:00:58
  out of house and home. I should have picked up a stray.
• 1:01:01
  Yes, This is why we don't get pets.
• 1:01:03
  It's. Probably better you put it down.
• 1:01:06
  Oh, oh Tuvid, I'm so sorry. I I I wish you could grow up to
• 1:01:12
  be more than nutrition. OK, you can talk less now.
• 1:01:17
  Remember the unspeakable part? And I said more sense in his
• 1:01:20
  mouth. He nods and suckles on the butt.
• 1:01:24
  15 Pest. You're a good boy.
• 1:01:26
  And I'm going to, I'm going to start walking towards where the
• 1:01:29
  altar was with hopefully, hopefully my companion Kespin,
• 1:01:34
  my, my amigo, my bro Chacho. We are we are going to
• 1:01:38
  investigate this. You're the rest of you are
• 1:01:41
  welcome to join us as well or if you're going to continue to play
• 1:01:44
  homemaker, whatever. Or domestic violence case.
• 1:01:50
  She. Tripped and fell.
• 1:01:51
  It wasn't me. I've heard that many times.
• 1:01:54
  Though it's going to true though.
• 1:01:56
  I don't believe either one of you.
• 1:01:57
  I don't want to be involved in whatever your weird triangle
• 1:02:00
  relationship is. I don't either.
• 1:02:02
  I want to get the fuck out of here.
• 1:02:03
  Keep this triad to yourself. I would have my hand on Craig
• 1:02:07
  Allen's collar so he can lead me.
• 1:02:10
  That's what I'm into. I know kinky fuck.
• 1:02:12
  As you're all going out, you do realize that that yeah, it is as
• 1:02:16
  it's getting darker, it is definitely getting windier,
• 1:02:20
  almost like like whiplashes of of frost banking your cheeks and
• 1:02:26
  into discomfort. As you're you're you're marching
• 1:02:30
  northwards towards the monolith. As it seems to be getting
• 1:02:34
  slightly closer, you pass the trail where where Kathman and
• 1:02:39
  Pyro went earlier. You see that as it gets darker,
• 1:02:43
  also, like the distance where the edge of that force shoe
• 1:02:45
  trees that I mentioned was previously, this like red mist
• 1:02:49
  becomes clearer and clearer. So there's the Aurora borealis
• 1:02:54
  right above the ground, which looks very weird, and those neon
• 1:02:56
  radiant colors and and that red, red mist up to your E Wow.
• 1:03:02
  Signs of a witch, allegedly. And I look at my my toad
• 1:03:05
  companion. He's like, Oh yes, that's that's
• 1:03:09
  that's where she hides red mist with those wild dogs.
• 1:03:14
  All right. Oh no said anything about dogs.
• 1:03:17
  Teen Vogue, fellas and. Well.
• 1:03:21
  Ladies. Yeah, I I know Krugal's one, but
• 1:03:23
  I'm not sure about the wife. She's.
• 1:03:25
  I'm right fucking hear you prick.
• 1:03:27
  She says. Goodnight.
• 1:03:28
  Lady. Shut up as a.
• 1:03:32
  As you trek on for like a like an hour, the the model lifted,
• 1:03:38
  coming ever so closer and disappearing kind of like into
• 1:03:42
  the the darker and darker sky. Why don't all of you give me a
• 1:03:45
  toughness check and we'll see how you're doing on the
• 1:03:47
  hypothermic front real quick. What?
• 1:03:49
  Where are we going again? You're going north towards the
• 1:03:53
  big altar, Do we? Do we want to investigate this
• 1:03:57
  mist is what I was getting at. I think the mist.
• 1:03:59
  Is before the monolith. Oh, it's directly in front of
• 1:04:02
  us. No, no, no.
• 1:04:03
  It's the opposite direction. The monolith is to the north,
• 1:04:06
  while the red mist is to the east.
• 1:04:10
  Oh fucked out. No, I, I, I vote for the mist
• 1:04:14
  since our our lovely toad pet person keeps going on about the
• 1:04:19
  mist. About the witch and the dogs and
• 1:04:21
  everything. Well, it seems to believe that
• 1:04:23
  it's her fault, at least from what you managed to gather.
• 1:04:25
  It seems like she was exiled from the village at some.
• 1:04:28
  Point Yeah, we'll just go have a friendly talk with her.
• 1:04:31
  All right, but you can all give me toughness checks, especially
• 1:04:34
  with that detour. Nonetheless, I will see if we
• 1:04:39
  finally get to try the Frost Fever rules. 1818, you're good.
• 1:04:44
  Do I have some sort of a buff with all this child leather?
• 1:04:48
  And my surrounded in my wolf frock I gave.
• 1:04:51
  Him. Oh yeah, absolutely.
• 1:04:53
  You have a plus 1/2 rolls against Frost fever.
• 1:04:57
  Let's see, you are not the reptilian.
• 1:05:01
  So that's about it. Yeah, and the difficulty will
• 1:05:04
  always be too lower for you kef when than for the rest of the
• 1:05:09
  group. Perfect, I'm in trouble.
• 1:05:11
  I rolled in 18. So.
• 1:05:13
  This is a toughness check. Yeah, a toughness check.
• 1:05:15
  You're so good. So I rolled a 4 -, 2.
• 1:05:23
  Plus one Excellent. I got a 5.
• 1:05:27
  Did anyone else get below as it's getting increasingly colder
• 1:05:33
  and and more hostile here? The difficulty rating is now 14.
• 1:05:40
  So who got below 14? Yep.
• 1:05:41
  Yeah, everyone involved. Yeah, I did not.
• 1:05:45
  I got a 16. Excellent.
• 1:05:46
  Well, Thomas also got an 18 I think, right?
• 1:05:49
  Yeah, I got an 18 as well. So it's just US 2.
• 1:05:51
  Great, great, awesome. Cool Jake.
• 1:05:54
  And yeah, Pyro. And pyro and.
• 1:05:57
  Fragon. So you can roll for, well, you
• 1:06:02
  you. You're definitely getting
• 1:06:03
  colder, but the ways that that the tundra enhances and alters
• 1:06:10
  your perception of things varies.
• 1:06:13
  So why don't both of you give me AD 20?
• 1:06:15
  I'll see how this fucks you up. I have one.
• 1:06:18
  HP so hopefully. What's a natural 20 give?
• 1:06:22
  Me, it's a table so well, I'll, I'll, I'll read it, but let's
• 1:06:27
  see Pyro's result first. So we'll do Pyro first.
• 1:06:35
  Pyro, you're noticing that like your, your leg doesn't feel
• 1:06:38
  quite so bad. And there's like this this comfy
• 1:06:41
  warmth that starts spreading from the inside.
• 1:06:44
  It's like it's just you. Or is it getting hot here and
• 1:06:46
  you're like, you feel like the clothes are kind of like bogging
• 1:06:48
  you down. You almost feel like like
• 1:06:50
  getting naked. I don't know, I, I guess I
• 1:06:54
  start, I start unbuckling my fucking plate armor and I make,
• 1:06:59
  I make my, my new companion hold on to it.
• 1:07:03
  He's like, what? What?
• 1:07:05
  Oh, OK. Yeah, carry my stuff for me.
• 1:07:08
  It's real warm out here lately and I'm going to take my pants
• 1:07:11
  and my my shirt off. Whoa, whoa.
• 1:07:13
  Damn, wants to see that. I don't care.
• 1:07:15
  Don't look, I I'm getting fucking hot out here.
• 1:07:18
  I'm gonna dress up my new friend in my clothes and armor.
• 1:07:22
  Oh. Shit, at least put your armor
• 1:07:25
  back on, that'll help. Oh no, no, pull you down.
• 1:07:28
  It's plate metal. It's fucking it's, it's heavy as
• 1:07:31
  shit. My knees hurting a little bit
• 1:07:33
  but my leg feels phenomenal. Where are you?
• 1:07:35
  I'm at. 50% right. Now take that sock and just
• 1:07:38
  cover your bits. At least it's.
• 1:07:39
  I was gonna say, let the codpiece back on.
• 1:07:42
  We don't need to see your ankles.
• 1:07:43
  Fine. I'll wear the codpiece at least.
• 1:07:45
  So much shrinkage. Oh God.
• 1:07:47
  You can you can keep your socks on if you like, but but
• 1:07:49
  everything else is like it's it's it's like uncomfortably
• 1:07:53
  warm, almost like like like you would get a heat stroke.
• 1:07:56
  If you like, don't, don't under. Will you please start fanning
• 1:07:59
  me? I'm it is so hot.
• 1:08:02
  My God, I'm gonna roll around in the snow and try to cool off.
• 1:08:05
  Yeah, to the rest of you, he looks absolutely fucked up.
• 1:08:08
  Like he's like he has no color in his cheeks.
• 1:08:11
  He looks like his skin is clinging to the flesh.
• 1:08:14
  Dear, dear life. And kind of stuttering when he's
• 1:08:17
  talking. Kim, what have you put just
• 1:08:20
  going down to the lake, get some ice cold water and and just
• 1:08:22
  fucking douse me right now. It's it's like there's I.
• 1:08:25
  Don't think that's exactly what you need right now.
• 1:08:27
  I. Think it's exactly what I need.
• 1:08:29
  Stop arguing with me. Go get the God damn water.
• 1:08:31
  I'm going to die here. I'm on fire.
• 1:08:35
  Bad news, he's got the snowman that's going to have.
• 1:08:37
  To put him down. Wait, good news, Good news.
• 1:08:39
  He's got the snow madness. We're gonna have to put him
• 1:08:41
  down. Rugal, what are you waiting for?
• 1:08:42
  Pull me out. Pull me out and I stopped.
• 1:08:44
  Drop and roll. Yeah, you, you do.
• 1:08:46
  And you make you make glorious snow angels.
• 1:08:48
  And. And meanwhile, you might notice
• 1:08:54
  one member of your party is not currently with you as Craig
• 1:08:58
  Allen is fucking them is is is missing.
• 1:09:05
  However, when you look back, you see the silhouette that's kind
• 1:09:07
  of like standing there and a bit too far to make out his his
• 1:09:12
  features clearly. OK, so I had my hand on his
• 1:09:15
  collar as he was dragging me through.
• 1:09:17
  You're standing behind him pushing him.
• 1:09:19
  So there's actually two members of the party missing in that
• 1:09:21
  case. So you're like pushing him.
• 1:09:23
  He's just not moving. You're just like, you just stop.
• 1:09:27
  And he's like a impenetrable wall.
• 1:09:28
  And you hear he like, kind of like, you hear like, a loud fart
• 1:09:31
  coming out from the back of him and realize that he's emptying
• 1:09:34
  his bowels. Oh, did I die?
• 1:09:38
  And upon further inspection, you're not sure if, like, this
• 1:09:42
  happened just now or if it's been a degrading effect for a
• 1:09:45
  long time. But yeah, he's been dead for at
• 1:09:47
  least a couple of hours while walking around here.
• 1:09:50
  You mean to tell me that my husband?
• 1:09:52
  Which is really weird to say. In an Oval Place has been a
• 1:09:57
  walking course and then turned into a fucking Jack Nicholson's
• 1:10:00
  character from The Shining. Pretty much, yeah.
• 1:10:02
  To be fair, my Jackass has been pulling me along this whole.
• 1:10:05
  That's true. Oh, my God.
• 1:10:06
  It's true, actually. Yeah.
• 1:10:08
  Like the Jackass has been pulling him along.
• 1:10:09
  You notice that, Like, it didn't make very tiny baby steps, if
• 1:10:13
  even on the way of walking. And it's.
• 1:10:15
  It's funny how he just like stood straight up and kind of
• 1:10:17
  like plowed through to snow in front of you.
• 1:10:20
  But the Jackass is like standing there and looking at him trying
• 1:10:22
  to kind of like get get away and eventually like it.
• 1:10:24
  It rips the rope and around his neck.
• 1:10:28
  And yeah, that's right. And his head falls into your
• 1:10:32
  your hands. And if you're one good eye, you
• 1:10:35
  can barely see the donkey gnawing at the rope and
• 1:10:38
  chuckling like in the back there and laughing at him.
• 1:10:43
  I'm gonna turn around to the rest of the group and kind of
• 1:10:45
  hold the head out. Does this look infected?
• 1:10:49
  Oh. My God, what?
• 1:10:53
  Happened. Here, before we end this
• 1:10:54
  recording, Daniel, is there anything you would like to plug?
