  >> Skylar: Last time on Black Friday of the dead.
• 0:21
  Be advised, the military has
• 0:23
  completely surrounded the facility. If you are a
• 0:26
  survivor, you must last until
• 0:29
  midnight. You guys are headed to Sporties, and then all of a
• 0:32
  sudden, a bullet kind of shoots by
• 0:35
  and everybody kind of. You all duck down.
• 0:36
  >> Quinn: What the heck?
• 0:40
  >> Skylar: What are you guys doing? You notice some movement
• 0:43
  in the winter apparel section?
• 0:46
  >> Dave: Cameron, is that you?
• 0:47
  >> Cameron: And I'm wearing a football helmet and a giant
• 0:50
  coat, and then I'm holding a baseball bat. Yeah,
• 0:53
  I do know who the shooter is. Yeah, he was yelling
• 0:56
  earlier. He shot not just zombies, but a couple
• 0:59
  people, too. Anyone who's going near his gun
• 1:01
  area, he's shooting.
• 1:03
  >> Skylar: For those of you that are padding up with football
• 1:06
  or hockey stuff, you can mark down padded armor.
• 1:09
  >> Dave: We could distract him by
• 1:12
  setting the area around him on fire. Have
• 1:15
  these lithium batteries.
• 1:17
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, the batteries. Oh, my gosh.
• 1:19
  >> Dave: We each take one, puncture it, and
• 1:22
  chuck it in that general direction.
• 1:25
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: And then as soon as he leaves, we clock him
• 1:27
  with hockey pucks and discs and bats.
• 1:30
  >> Skylar: So you got 11 damage coming his way as
• 1:33
  he just gets pelted by a series of baseballs,
• 1:36
  discs, etc. He scopes
• 1:39
  down his rifle and shoots at the first person he
• 1:42
  sees, which happens to be Quinn. He
• 1:45
  fires a shot. Bullet still hits you. you scream out
• 1:48
  in pain. Oh, Jackson. You take four
• 1:51
  damage as he whips out his pistol and he
• 1:54
  grazes your ear.
• 1:55
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I look around me and I see to my left
• 1:58
  a fire extinguisher.
• 2:00
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 2:00
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm going to grab this fire extinguisher and then make my way
• 2:03
  towards the gun.
• 2:04
  >> Quinn: I'm just laying there bleeding out. Right.
• 2:06
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna try and tackle him to the ground, see what I can do there.
• 2:08
  >> Skylar: Okay, so you're gonna go in for a tackle.
• 2:10
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 2:10
  >> Skylar: So you see your opportunity to leap out, run
• 2:13
  over and body check this down to the
• 2:16
  ground. You're on top of him. As you turn, you
• 2:19
  look, and in comes Fatty with a fire
• 2:21
  extinguisher in one hand, and just a wide
• 2:24
  arc swing comes down on this guy with this fire
• 2:27
  extinguisher, and it slams into this
• 2:30
  guy's chest. And you definitely hear the
• 2:33
  sound of some cracks and shattering
• 2:36
  bones as he just lets out a large.
• 2:39
  And he probably coughs up a bit of blood and he just
• 2:42
  lays there. He. He doesn't seem to be really moving
• 2:45
  at all. Welcome back,
• 2:48
  everybody, to another episode of Black
• 2:51
  Friday of the Dead.
• 2:54
  I'm Skyler. I'm the.
• 2:57
  There's supposed to be the, zombie master,
• 3:00
  I think that's what it was. I don't remember. Yeah, it's a zm,
• 3:03
  I think, for this game. Every game. You know how they, like, have a different one for each
• 3:06
  game? Dungeons and Dragons is a dungeon master and then one
• 3:09
  of the more like general ones, a game master. And
• 3:12
  I don't know, there's other ones. Whatever the case with me
• 3:14
  today, we have Fatty Lumpkins, we
• 3:17
  have Quinn, we've got Dave, we've
• 3:20
  got Giggly Cameron and not so
• 3:23
  Giggly Jackson.
• 3:24
  >> Cameron: I'm here.
• 3:27
  >> Skylar: And where we left things
• 3:30
  off last time, you guys had gone
• 3:33
  into Sporties, the sort of sports goods
• 3:36
  store, fearful of the fact that you
• 3:39
  guys didn't really see a whole lot of the undead inside,
• 3:41
  or at least not currently
• 3:45
  undead, they were just re dead.
• 3:48
  And that had led you to wonder what had killed them.
• 3:51
  And soon you found out after running into
• 3:53
  Cameron, that there was an
• 3:56
  angry, kind of psychotic, very
• 3:59
  right wing, owner to the sporty
• 4:01
  store that was protecting his
• 4:04
  guns and he was shooting back
• 4:07
  at you guys. I, think Quinn took the brunt of
• 4:10
  all of that damage, for the most part.
• 4:13
  >> Quinn: Currently bleeding out.
• 4:14
  >> Skylar: He's currently just sitting there bleeding out, which is an important thing to
• 4:17
  remind everybody who cares and which,
• 4:19
  I don't know, we'll see who that is. And whatever the case, you
• 4:22
  guys were able to subdue him,
• 4:25
  defeat him, very possibly kill
• 4:28
  him. I believe
• 4:30
  Connor slammed him down with a fire
• 4:33
  extinguisher directly into his chest.
• 4:34
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Oh, it was fatty.
• 4:35
  >> Skylar: Oh, it was fatty. Okay. And slammed him
• 4:38
  into the chest with a full
• 4:41
  fire extinguisher. Yeah, very possibly
• 4:43
  shattering most of his ribs, if
• 4:46
  not other parts of his body, collapsing things.
• 4:49
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: He is, he has a pneumothorax.
• 4:52
  >> Skylar: I was going to say, as somebody that's in the medical field, I'll
• 4:54
  just let you describe that.
• 4:58
  But, whatever the case, at the very least he's unconscious. I don't know if
• 5:00
  anybody's actually checked to see if he's dead or not, but that's where you guys are
• 5:03
  at. I would say that you guys feeling,
• 5:07
  confident that you are now safe from somebody shooting at
• 5:09
  you, stand up to take a breath for a moment and you
• 5:12
  notice at the entrance of Sporties that some
• 5:15
  of the undead have started to make their way in
• 5:18
  where they've heard all the gunshots and the other
• 5:21
  noise. They're a long ways away at the moment, but they're
• 5:24
  headed your way now. What are you guys doing?
• 5:26
  >> Cameron: Okay, I would like to grab two things.
• 5:28
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 5:29
  >> Cameron: I guess Three things maybe, but two of those are kind of combined.
• 5:32
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 5:32
  >> Cameron: I want to grab one of those hunting,
• 5:35
  compound bows with like, five arrows. You know how they
• 5:38
  have the quiver.
• 5:39
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 5:39
  >> Cameron: On the side of the bows. It holds, like, five of them. That's what I want.
• 5:42
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 5:43
  >> Cameron: And then I also want to go, back to the clothing
• 5:46
  section of the sports store.
• 5:47
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 5:47
  >> Cameron: And I want to find, a pair of shorts
• 5:51
  that are like a 3 inch inseam that say juicy
• 5:54
  on the butt.
• 5:54
  >> Skylar: Okay. That was two things. Well, three things if you
• 5:57
  count the arrows is what you're saying. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay, cool. Yeah.
• 6:00
  You find the shorts for sure in
• 6:04
  some, of the. More like, let's see,
• 6:06
  runwear. I think that would probably fall in.
• 6:09
  but before you do, you grab the composite or
• 6:12
  the sort of bow. Right. It's like a
• 6:15
  composite bow.
• 6:16
  >> Cameron: You could call it that.
• 6:17
  >> Skylar: Not like a crossbow, Right?
• 6:18
  >> Cameron: No.
• 6:18
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. So composite bow, that's a D
• 6:21
  eight times strength. It is a ranged
• 6:24
  weapon, obviously, and you've got five
• 6:27
  arrows for it, so be sure to put that down on your character
• 6:29
  sheet. So that's, Jackson's. You see
• 6:32
  Jackson go running around the store grabbing up a couple of things. What
• 6:35
  are the rest of you guys doing?
• 6:36
  >> Cameron: I'm bleeding out.
• 6:37
  >> Quinn: yeah, I need help. If someone,
• 6:39
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Help.
• 6:40
  >> Quinn: Help me.
• 6:40
  >> Skylar: I was like, well, yeah, you gotta let him.
• 6:42
  >> Quinn: Yeah, I'm bleeding out over here.
• 6:44
  >> Skylar: Somebody.
• 6:44
  >> Quinn: Somebody help me, please.
• 6:48
  >> Skylar: And his calls fall on death in yours.
• 6:51
  >> Quinn: Guess I'll die.
• 6:54
  >> Cameron: Something.
• 6:55
  >> Cameron: I'll help Quinn out before I go get the shorts.
• 6:58
  >> Skylar: Okay, you
• 7:00
  pause for a moment. I will be right
• 7:03
  back.
• 7:05
  >> Quinn: I will be right back.
• 7:07
  >> Cameron: I come back full.
• 7:10
  >> Quinn: Look at that.
• 7:12
  >> Skylar: You're. You're absolutely.
• 7:14
  >> Cameron: You're rejuvenated after seeing that.
• 7:16
  >> Skylar: Those look really nice. Awesome.
• 7:18
  >> Quinn: Those look really nice. Yeah, I'm. I'm losing blood.
• 7:22
  There's got to be some, like, athletic bandage and
• 7:24
  stuff around the area. Yeah, there's got to be
• 7:27
  some, like, just. You would think like alcohol,
• 7:30
  like. Like rubbing alcohol or sports medicine type
• 7:33
  stuff.
• 7:33
  >> Cameron: You're bleeding out in the, like, sternum
• 7:36
  area.
• 7:36
  >> Quinn: No, I got shot in the shoulder.
• 7:38
  >> Cameron: Okay, you're bleeding out in the shoulder, and I tie up your
• 7:40
  ankle.
• 7:41
  >> Skylar: Like, how you feel
• 7:43
  better?
• 7:46
  Well, it's a nice compression, but I don't feel like it's
• 7:49
  helping. I m. Would say between a shoulder
• 7:52
  compress and maybe some,
• 7:54
  Ace wrap. Ace wrap. Maybe some
• 7:57
  gauze. Maybe at a sports store.
• 8:00
  but whatever the case, you're. At least your bleeding has
• 8:03
  stopped. And you're not actively dying.
• 8:06
  >> Quinn: I think that the bonus.
• 8:07
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I think the fact that it was a shoulder wound and then
• 8:10
  the mix of, like, the fact that it was a hunting rifle at
• 8:13
  a, like, reasonable distance. I want to say the
• 8:16
  bullet went through, and that's a benefit
• 8:19
  I'm giving to you.
• 8:20
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: You can do anything you want as the Z Master.
• 8:22
  >> Skylar: That's right, I can. So we're going to roll with that. The
• 8:25
  bullet went through, and you've officially
• 8:27
  stopped the bleeding. You're not actively dying.
• 8:30
  Infection could become a problem if you waited too long.
• 8:33
  >> Quinn: Well, we need to find some.
• 8:34
  >> Skylar: Like, you're planning on leaving
• 8:37
  eventually in the near future.
• 8:38
  >> Quinn: Yeah, but I probably.
• 8:40
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 8:41
  >> Quinn: Probably should get some row.
• 8:42
  >> Skylar: Are you getting up?
• 8:44
  >> Quinn: Yeah.
• 8:44
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay.
• 8:45
  >> Quinn: I can walk. I'm not like.
• 8:46
  >> Skylar: I know, but you're just. You were just laying there
• 8:49
  going.
• 8:50
  >> Quinn: Bleeding out then. Yeah, I probably get up.
• 8:52
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 8:52
  >> Skylar: Okay. Okay.
• 8:53
  >> Quinn: I feel like if any of us got shot, we'd be laying there for a
• 8:56
  little bit.
• 8:57
  >> Skylar: No, I'm not saying that's beyond reason. I'm just saying even if I
• 9:00
  wanted.
• 9:00
  >> Quinn: To ask you, like, the shock.
• 9:04
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah.
• 9:04
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Anybody else. Anybody else doing anything in particular?
• 9:07
  >> Quinn: I, would like to grab something.
• 9:09
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 9:10
  >> Quinn: Yeah, I'm gonna need, like, a hand gun because I can't use my
• 9:12
  left arm. So I'm gonna need a handgun
• 9:15
  with, like, I would need some. Some help to make, like,
• 9:18
  a few extra magazines.
• 9:21
  >> Skylar: To make.
• 9:22
  >> Quinn: Well, like, you're, like, you'd have to fill them, and I could
• 9:25
  take, like, three or four extra pockets.
• 9:27
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 9:28
  >> Quinn: But, like, I need some assistance because I couldn't.
• 9:31
  I mean, I don't know. I feel like that would be kind of taxing.
• 9:34
  So if anybody would like to help me with that, that'd be
• 9:36
  fantastic.
• 9:37
  >> Cameron: I will sit and help. Quinn.
• 9:39
  >> Quinn: It shouldn't take that long.
• 9:40
  >> Cameron: Load a magazine, Quinn.
• 9:41
  >> Dave: Just grab a bunch of these revolvers and
• 9:44
  go, Blackbeard style.
• 9:50
  Like, strap. Strap some of these belts across
• 9:53
  your chest.
• 9:54
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that'd be cool. All right, so you're.
• 9:57
  You're armed? Disabled. Switching.
• 9:59
  >> Quinn: I mean, I could probably. I could maybe,
• 10:02
  like, bend my hand a little bit.
• 10:05
  >> Skylar: Okay. Yeah, but you're trying to minimize the amount that you have to
• 10:08
  move. Yeah.
• 10:08
  >> Quinn: So what would. What's the, stuff for?
• 10:10
  >> Cameron: The.
• 10:10
  >> Skylar: What do you have a preference on, like, because, I mean, you guys
• 10:13
  have this to a limited extent, kind of free reign as far as
• 10:16
  guns go. Do you have a preference?
• 10:17
  >> Quinn: And just to be like, a normal handgun.
• 10:19
  >> Skylar: Okay, let's go with a nine millimeter okay, so
• 10:22
  that's a D6 times four.
• 10:24
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: D6 times four.
• 10:26
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 10:27
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Guns Bickle. Boom.
• 10:28
  >> Skylar: Yeah, you heard. First I took Quinn
• 10:31
  down to like almost dead and then I
• 10:34
  said but before you die, here's a
• 10:36
  gun. And then So let's say you get
• 10:39
  three magazines filled. That's let's
• 10:42
  say yeah. 30 total shots.
• 10:44
  >> Cameron: 10 in each.
• 10:45
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 10:46
  >> Cameron: Yeah. There you go.
• 10:47
  >> Quinn: Is there anything else that I could grab that I can maybe
• 10:49
  put. I don't have like swords
• 10:52
  there but like use like one
• 10:55
  hand.
• 10:56
  >> Skylar: They do have machetes.
• 10:57
  >> Quinn: I probably so Air Brill's
• 10:59
  machete. I'm going. I'd probably get rid of the
• 11:02
  baseball bat obviously. And I
• 11:05
  would probably change out for like just a
• 11:08
  machete that I could put on my like carry on my back.
• 11:11
  >> Cameron: How much stuff do you have?
• 11:12
  >> Quinn: I. I only have would have a hand.
• 11:14
  >> Skylar: He did get rid of the.
• 11:16
  >> Quinn: I'm getting rid of the.
• 11:16
  >> Skylar: Which I appreciate. I think that's fair.
• 11:19
  >> Quinn: Cuz the machete should have like a something I can ping
• 11:22
  over my shoulder and I could just be like
• 11:25
  yeah.
• 11:25
  >> Skylar: You look like a jungle ninja with.
• 11:28
  >> Quinn: A broken useless arm.
• 11:30
  >> Skylar: With a busted arm. okay. Yeah. If you want
• 11:33
  a machete, let's call short
• 11:35
  sword. Okay. D6 time strength.
• 11:38
  >> Cameron: Can I grab.
• 11:40
  >> Skylar: Is there keys, on the
• 11:43
  guy, on the store? yeah, yeah.
• 11:45
  >> Cameron: I want to grab his keys and then go hop behind the
• 11:48
  counter and start going through the gun cabinet.
• 11:51
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 11:52
  >> Cameron: I mean anyone's welcome to join me, but I'm gonna start looking.
• 11:55
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: We're all kind of.
• 11:56
  >> Cameron: Well, are you going back there too?
• 11:58
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I envision myself looking through the guns. Right.
• 12:00
  >> Cameron: Okay. So me and Fatty are looking through the guns.
• 12:03
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 12:04
  >> Cameron: I find like a rifle.
• 12:05
  >> Skylar: Okay, sure. I mean there's also literally
• 12:08
  I want.
• 12:08
  >> Cameron: To ar though automatic
• 12:11
  rifle. Are there are those there? If not, I'll
• 12:14
  grab just a shotgun.
• 12:17
  >> Skylar: Here's the thing. There would be some there I've
• 12:20
  seen them at.
• 12:21
  >> Cameron: If not I grab a shotgun.
• 12:23
  >> Skylar: I'll certain sporting stores. They
• 12:25
  would definitely. No, no, no. You can definitely have one though. so
• 12:28
  okay, so this is a assault rifle
• 12:31
  and it is. The damage is D 8
• 12:34
  times 4 but you only
• 12:37
  find 20 bullets for it.
• 12:39
  But it's one magazine with
• 12:42
  20 bullets. Okay.
• 12:44
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Got it being an avid once a year pheasant
• 12:47
  hunter at this point in his life, Batty is going to
• 12:50
  gravitate towards the shotgun.
• 12:51
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 12:52
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So he's gonna look preferably
• 12:55
  for a semi auto shotgun or a pump
• 12:58
  action, not a double barrel
• 13:00
  or bolt Action or break
• 13:03
  action. Okay, so going to grab
• 13:06
  that and as many shells as he can carry.
• 13:09
  >> Skylar: I've got two options for you or three options.
• 13:12
  There's. Are you looking for bird
• 13:15
  shot? Buckshot or slugs?
• 13:18
  >> Cameron: You want slugs
• 13:22
  the most damage, but.
• 13:24
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Then that's a, Like a one.
• 13:26
  >> Cameron: Yes, it's buck,
• 13:28
  but I want buck.
• 13:30
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Aren't there shotguns that can shoot both? Like, what if
• 13:33
  I.
• 13:34
  >> Cameron: You can absolutely grab all case of.
• 13:37
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Buck and a case of slugs.
• 13:39
  >> Cameron: I was gonna say camo shotguns do all.
• 13:41
  >> Cameron: Yes, as long as it's like chambered in the right
• 13:44
  gauge.
• 13:44
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 13:45
  >> Cameron: you can buy an eight gauge slug at an eight gauge.
• 13:47
  >> Skylar: All right, here's what I'll tell you. Here's what I'll tell.
• 13:50
  It's different damages.
• 13:53
  >> Cameron: It's probably just going from small.
• 13:55
  >> Skylar: Let's just do D 8 times 5 and I'll give
• 13:57
  you 10 shots. There you go.
• 14:00
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: And then just for the spectacle, I would like to see if I could
• 14:03
  find a couple, canisters of tannerite.
• 14:05
  >> Skylar: Oh, yes. Okay. Yes. I was wondering if
• 14:08
  that would come.
• 14:09
  >> Cameron: Up, while he's looking around back here.
• 14:12
  So I have to ask a quick question, and this is
• 14:15
  an important question. This
• 14:17
  is 2016.
• 14:19
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 14:19
  >> Cameron: What zombie knowledge? What's the zombie
• 14:22
  stuff that came out in 2016? In 2016? Because I
• 14:25
  want to know what 2016 Cameron is
• 14:28
  referencing for zombie knowledge right now.
• 14:30
  >> Skylar: Well, would it be because I want.
• 14:33
  >> Cameron: To know, is this like, do I have to play
• 14:36
  this like they do in zombie
• 14:38
  movies where all the people for some reason act like they've never
• 14:41
  heard of a zombie in their life? Or am I going to
• 14:44
  play off the knowledge I would have in 2016?
• 14:46
  >> Skylar: No, the knowledge you have in 2016. So I
• 14:49
  guess the question goes back to you. What,
• 14:52
  what zombie movies or zombie knowledge did Cameron
• 14:55
  have in 2016?
• 14:56
  >> Cameron: Look up what was out in 2016.
• 14:57
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I mean, Zombie Lane had come out by. Well, then, yeah.
• 15:00
  >> Cameron: Ah, I saw Zombieland in theaters. Okay.
• 15:03
  Those were my favorites growing up.
• 15:05
  >> Skylar: Train to Busan, dawn of the Dead.
• 15:06
  >> Cameron: I didn't see that.
• 15:07
  >> Skylar: But I mean, I guess both Shaun.
• 15:08
  >> Cameron: Of the Dead and Zombieland I loved back when they came out.
• 15:11
  >> Skylar: So days later.
• 15:12
  >> Cameron: Okay, so now that I know this, while I'm
• 15:15
  looking, for guns and stuff, and I see Fatty
• 15:18
  standing next to me, he's kind of like leaned over looking at the
• 15:21
  tapering or whatever. I don't care. M.
• 15:24
  I can I give him a glance, like, look up and
• 15:27
  down to see if he has any bike marks on him.
• 15:29
  >> Skylar: Oh, I thought you were. He's. Oh, I guess you are. Yeah. I mean,
• 15:32
  you can definitely do that role. some kind of like,
• 15:35
  perception. Yeah. Do you. And
• 15:38
  if you have any skills that you feel, like, fit. I do.
• 15:41
  >> Cameron: I have a seven on that.
• 15:43
  >> Skylar: Okay. Yeah. So you look over at him, and
• 15:46
  you're kind of looking them up and down. Fatty. You look over
• 15:49
  back at him as you're picking up a shotgun. Like, you
• 15:52
  see through the case, and you can see you. You see
• 15:55
  in the reflection of the.
• 15:56
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Case that you're being examined.
• 15:59
  >> Skylar: Ogled. Like Cameron from
• 16:02
  a distance.
• 16:03
  >> Cameron: No, I'm right next to him from a short distance.
• 16:05
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Can you insert the sound cup? Or it's like. Oh,
• 16:09
  binocularized.
• 16:14
  >> Skylar: yeah. You notice that he's. He's kind of looking you over,
• 16:17
  so do that. What you will.
• 16:20
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I will, actually.
• 16:22
  >> Skylar: I actually like the idea. Okay, this is what
• 16:25
  you see, right? So cut to
• 16:28
  pov. Cameron's point of view.
• 16:31
  Cameron looks down and he sees
• 16:34
  Fatty's shoes. And then he slowly goes
• 16:37
  up. He sees his ankles.
• 16:38
  >> Cameron: He sees his.
• 16:39
  >> Skylar: His male kind of hairy thighs. It's just
• 16:42
  normal dudes. It is what it is. He
• 16:45
  continues to glance up at the. Did you ever put on.
• 16:48
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Why are my thighs exposed in the middle of November?
• 16:51
  >> Skylar: I don't know. You're from north of US
• 16:54
  I just assume you're one of those crazy people that wears shorts.
• 16:56
  >> Cameron: Athletic shorts in the winter.
• 17:00
  >> Skylar: He scans up the shorts, gets to your waist.
• 17:02
  Doesn't hesitate there long, because that's weird.
• 17:05
  Continues up your torso. And then when
• 17:08
  he reaches your head, you're just staring right back at
• 17:11
  him. That's what you see. Your eyes
• 17:14
  just kind of meet right there as he's standing there holding a
• 17:17
  shotgun.
• 17:17
  >> Cameron: I'm holding a rifle and you're holding a rifle.
• 17:20
  >> Skylar: Begin seeing us.
• 17:22
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm going to avert eye contact.
• 17:28
  >> Skylar: you don't notice any kind of bite marks on this side of
• 17:31
  his.
• 17:31
  >> Cameron: Body, at least on this side?
• 17:33
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 17:34
  >> Cameron: That just makes me want to look on the other side. Whoa.
• 17:37
  >> Cameron: You may. You maintain eye contact and you give
• 17:40
  him one of those, like, finger. Finger
• 17:43
  gestures to do a little spin.
• 17:46
  Do a little spin for him, Fatty.
• 17:51
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm going to do the dollar bill,
• 17:54
  so.
• 17:55
  >> Cameron: You shouldn't have chosen this nickname.
• 17:59
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: It's all the better with the nickname.
• 18:02
  >> Cameron: So, Patty, how do you,
• 18:04
  how do you know Dave?
• 18:07
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: We went to college together.
• 18:09
  >> Cameron: Oh, you went to college together?
• 18:11
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Oh, watched a lot of Walking Dead together.
• 18:14
  Yeah, I consider myself a
• 18:17
  fairly, proficient in the lore of
• 18:19
  zombies.
• 18:20
  >> Cameron: Oh, same here. so you haven't gotten bit,
• 18:23
  right? Any of you, right?
• 18:25
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Nope, none of us. All clean.
• 18:28
  >> Cameron: You mind? Like, arm
• 18:31
  sleeves. Roll up your sleeves. Roll up your pant
• 18:33
  legs. You know, honestly, take, off your clothes. Cameron's
• 18:36
  gonna, Cameron's gonna turn around and look at the rest of the group who's now
• 18:39
  like, maybe we should kiss. Everyone's like, everyone's, like,
• 18:42
  looting and stuff. And Cameron's just kind of, like, looks
• 18:45
  at all of them again. Hey, mind if everyone just, like,
• 18:47
  shows their arms and legs to make sure? I don't want
• 18:50
  to be walking around. Anyone got bit? You guys all just showed up out of
• 18:53
  nowhere.
• 18:57
  >> Dave: Do it.
• 18:59
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: There's no time.
• 19:00
  >> Cameron: No, there is.
• 19:01
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: There's a horde of zombies attacking us.
• 19:03
  >> Skylar: To move in on you. You guys have looted for quite a while
• 19:05
  here.
• 19:06
  >> Cameron: Well, how do we get out of here, then?
• 19:08
  >> Cameron: And at this point, I'm staring at you. I've got
• 19:11
  that tactical helmet with the night vision goggles
• 19:14
  and, like, a bullet vest thing and
• 19:17
  then the booty shorts. that's a juicy
• 19:20
  on him. So I'm like, I'm. I'm not taking all this off
• 19:23
  again. Sorry.
• 19:25
  >> Skylar: I just got these shorts on. They're
• 19:27
  tired.
• 19:28
  >> Cameron: That was not my last question. I asked. How do we get out of
• 19:31
  here?
• 19:32
  >> Skylar: Is anybody. Somebody that would have
• 19:35
  gone into Sporties pretty often, by
• 19:37
  chance, stops by Sporties every time they go to the
• 19:40
  mall? I would say you
• 19:42
  see an exit sign that's lit up.
• 19:45
  Not at the usual exit sign. There's a side door.
• 19:48
  >> Cameron: There's a side door to the roof.
• 19:51
  >> Dave: Sporties have a giant tree in the middle
• 19:54
  or a Ferris trail they climb to get to the
• 19:57
  roof.
• 19:57
  >> Cameron: I like this idea a lot.
• 19:59
  >> Skylar: We like this idea as far as, like, man, we could end
• 20:02
  this so fast if they all just die climbing a
• 20:04
  Christmas tree. Yeah, absolutely. There's a big,
• 20:07
  giant Christmas tree in the middle of the store.
• 20:10
  >> Cameron: There's some of these sporties that had
• 20:13
  giant, like, oak trees in the middle of their.
• 20:16
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, they're fake oak trees.
• 20:17
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: The Sporties in Sioux Falls has one of the largest.
• 20:20
  >> Skylar: Really? So they also have, like, a freaking
• 20:23
  Ferris wheel in there.
• 20:24
  >> Cameron: What if we climb the Ferris wheel?
• 20:28
  Oh, darn it.
• 20:29
  >> Skylar: All right.
• 20:30
  >> Dave: But I come. I come back. Yeah, I'm, rolling back in because
• 20:33
  I'm on a long board.
• 20:34
  >> Skylar: Nice.
• 20:35
  >> Dave: And also, I got slung on my back.
• 20:38
  >> Skylar: I got, golf, bag
• 20:41
  nice.
• 20:42
  >> Dave: And sticking out of it, like, three
• 20:44
  shotguns.
• 20:46
  >> Skylar: Oh, my gosh.
• 20:48
  >> Dave: All Loaded.
• 20:49
  >> Cameron: Oh, nice.
• 20:50
  >> Skylar: I just want to establish that I personally, Skylar. I'm
• 20:53
  proud of you guys. when one of you comes up with a really cool
• 20:56
  idea, the rest of you don't go, oh, yeah, I'm going to go get a
• 20:59
  golf bag and fill it with shotguns too. Like, nobody likes
• 21:01
  that. Dave thought of the shotguns in the
• 21:04
  bag. So Dave gets shotguns in the bag with the rest of you
• 21:07
  just holding your guns. It's fine.
• 21:11
  >> Cameron: And you know what? I'm happy about it.
• 21:13
  >> Skylar: Yes, yes, agree. It keeps you all different.
• 21:16
  >> Dave: Say, what if we just roll out the front door?
• 21:18
  >> Cameron: Oh, those. When they say on the announcement, the
• 21:21
  military just shoot us.
• 21:23
  >> Dave: No, not that. That door. I mean, we gotta go
• 21:26
  to the.
• 21:26
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Where's the roof to this? Or where's the stairwell?
• 21:29
  >> Cameron: Oh, is there. You have a
• 21:32
  map? Where'd you get that from?
• 21:35
  >> Dave: Connor needs, drugs.
• 21:36
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, Connor, you gotta go to.
• 21:38
  >> Dave: We sell drugs.
• 21:39
  >> Skylar: For those that are listening, Connor's not here with us today, so he's returned
• 21:42
  to NPC status for the duration of
• 21:45
  today's episode. Assuming he makes it past that.
• 21:47
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I think in the last episode, I had just saved his butt. So he is
• 21:50
  in shock right now.
• 21:52
  >> Skylar: yes.
• 21:53
  >> Cameron: Resell drugs.
• 21:54
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 21:55
  >> Cameron: There's a. I'm guessing that's not close.
• 21:58
  >> Skylar: No, it's pretty much across the mall.
• 22:00
  >> Cameron: Oh, Why? I don't think we have the
• 22:03
  time or the ability to go there.
• 22:07
  Hopefully the medics, have them have,
• 22:10
  insulin.
• 22:11
  >> Skylar: Connor, you can see from the fact that
• 22:14
  he had so much shock and so much
• 22:17
  intensity, he's starting to turn a little bit
• 22:19
  pale. Oh, guys, I'm not feeling.
• 22:22
  I mean, I am feeling chill, but not like that kind of chill.
• 22:25
  You know what I'm saying?
• 22:27
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Because what time of day is it? And we have to be on
• 22:29
  the roof at midnight.
• 22:31
  >> Skylar: Yes, it is, probably
• 22:34
  10:00 by this point. Yeah,
• 22:37
  two hours.
• 22:38
  >> Cameron: I think we should probably book it to. We sell
• 22:41
  drugs, get the drugs he
• 22:44
  needs for his, diabetes. Ah,
• 22:47
  I guess that sounds made up to me.
• 22:50
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I, think we started high.
• 22:51
  >> Skylar: We started high, but at this point he's low.
• 22:54
  >> Cameron: Okay, Just instantly.
• 22:57
  >> Skylar: Not instantly.
• 22:59
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I mean, he did do a lot of exercise trying to punch the
• 23:01
  dude, so, yeah, mechanistically.
• 23:04
  >> Skylar: He could help in the bookstore moving a lot of the furniture
• 23:07
  and stuff.
• 23:08
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So now we need sugars.
• 23:10
  >> Dave: Wasn't there a specific place we needed
• 23:13
  to go to get roof access?
• 23:15
  >> Skylar: Yes, the security office has a ladder in
• 23:18
  there. The security office is actually pretty darn. Close to
• 23:21
  we sell drugs, right?
• 23:23
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 23:24
  >> Dave: That old man, that old janitor told us we need
• 23:27
  to go to the security office
• 23:30
  because there's a ladder in there to get to the roof.
• 23:33
  Unless you got another way up.
• 23:35
  >> Cameron: Where's the security office?
• 23:37
  >> Dave: All the way on the other side of that mall.
• 23:39
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: But conveniently located right next to we sell
• 23:42
  drugs.
• 23:42
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 23:43
  >> Cameron: Oh, it is right next to we sell drugs.
• 23:46
  >> Skylar: Sort of around the. Around the corner from it, but yeah.
• 23:48
  >> Cameron: All right, let's go there then. Why not, huh? All right, who's
• 23:51
  leading the way?
• 23:52
  >> Cameron: I've got covering fire support. Just because
• 23:55
  my weapon of choice
• 23:58
  moves a lot slower than the rest of yalls.
• 24:01
  Because you got the arrow and you draw it.
• 24:04
  It's reusable, but it's slower
• 24:07
  than, like a shotgun.
• 24:09
  >> Skylar: Sure. Not slower on the reload, though. That's
• 24:12
  nice.
• 24:13
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: On their way out, am I able to grab a handgun? Sure
• 24:15
  to pocket it. Also, what was the damage on the
• 24:18
  shotgun?
• 24:19
  >> Skylar: the shotgun is D 8 times 5.
• 24:22
  the handgun is. I'd say you get
• 24:25
  a smaller one. It's a.22, and it's D4
• 24:28
  times two. It holds 10
• 24:30
  bullets.
• 24:31
  >> Dave: What are the shotguns hold?
• 24:33
  >> Skylar: I think eight bullets each. All right, so you
• 24:36
  guys see that sort of like employee entrance slash
• 24:39
  emergency exit door off to the side. Is that what
• 24:42
  you're taking? I assume. I doubt you're running straight into the
• 24:44
  zombies, unless that's what you.
• 24:45
  >> Cameron: Yeah, we should probably not run straight into the zombies.
• 24:49
  Just the thought. Let's go
• 24:52
  that way.
• 24:52
  >> Skylar: Okay. you run up to the door and you
• 24:55
  find that it is locked. But as
• 24:58
  the zombies are starting to get closer and closer,
• 25:01
  shuffling through and around the
• 25:04
  various displays and racks full of
• 25:07
  athletic clothing, getting closer and closer to
• 25:09
  you and your group. Cameron, you have the
• 25:12
  keys that you grabbed off the manager.
• 25:15
  And after several tries, kind of the classic horror movie where
• 25:18
  you put one in, it's not working. You put the next one in. You just got, like, this whole
• 25:21
  chain of keys you're trying to go through. And
• 25:23
  finally, finally one of them works. And
• 25:26
  you guys push through the door and turn around
• 25:29
  and close it behind you just as the zombies are getting. Getting up
• 25:32
  close and, relock it from the other side.
• 25:35
  You guys are back out into the service hallway. you can
• 25:37
  actually see, the entrance to
• 25:40
  the coffee portion of COVID to cover opposite
• 25:43
  of you. And that's where you're at.
• 25:46
  Not saying you have to go down that, but I'm just saying, you know, you're
• 25:49
  in the service hallway. That you're familiar with. And you could
• 25:52
  go all the way around cover to cover, kind of towards
• 25:55
  the movie theater kind of back where you started.
• 25:56
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: If.
• 25:57
  >> Skylar: If that's what you wanted to do. That'd be a nice, nice chunk of, ground
• 25:59
  to cover.
• 26:00
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Because if we look towards the entrance to
• 26:03
  Sporties, is that now being overrun by zombies?
• 26:06
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 26:06
  >> Skylar: They were attracted by the sound, and they're kind of flooding in.
• 26:09
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Okay, have they glimpsed our
• 26:12
  movement down this service
• 26:14
  hallway?
• 26:15
  >> Skylar: Well, I mean, they would have seen you go out this side door that led
• 26:18
  into it, but they're not smart enough to, like, oh, let's go around. They're
• 26:21
  obviously in the service. You know, these are zombies we're talking about here. These are
• 26:24
  classic slow shufflers.
• 26:25
  >> Dave: All right, let's make up some ground.
• 26:28
  >> Skylar: All right, let's go as far as we can. Yeah.
• 26:31
  >> Dave: so I turn on the flashlight on this
• 26:33
  tactical.
• 26:34
  >> Skylar: Holy cow. It just keeps getting better.
• 26:36
  >> Dave: Not, Combat America. The ones that got
• 26:39
  anybody's listening pistol grip on it.
• 26:41
  >> Quinn: Yeah, not American. Like, yeah, no, you
• 26:44
  can't.
• 26:44
  >> Skylar: Yeah, you can. It's terrifying.
• 26:48
  awesome. Yeah, you flip on the flashlight. It is getting, ah, kind of dark
• 26:50
  in this service hallway. The lights are starting to flicker a little
• 26:53
  bit. Some of them are starting to dim. And. Yeah,
• 26:56
  it's kind of spooky in here. And you guys start making
• 26:59
  your way, down and around. And as
• 27:02
  you guys come out to the,
• 27:05
  service entrance that goes directly alongside
• 27:08
  cover to cover, sort of those front windows where you saw
• 27:11
  Jackson through the window and everything like that,
• 27:14
  and then had come through there. So you have two options. You can go to the
• 27:16
  right and then enter to the main hallway
• 27:19
  of the mall. Or you can continue down the
• 27:22
  service hallway all the way to
• 27:25
  kind of where you started from, over by the teas
• 27:28
  and jerseys store and the pillow palace and
• 27:31
  stuff like that. Which do you
• 27:34
  choose?
• 27:35
  >> Cameron: It seems like the service
• 27:38
  hallway is the better way to go because they're over flooding the main
• 27:41
  hallway.
• 27:41
  >> Quinn: What's the, Like, what would be the best way to get to the roof?
• 27:45
  >> Skylar: So the roof is going to be. I mean, as far as you know. You were told
• 27:48
  that the security office has a ladder that leads up to the
• 27:51
  roof.
• 27:51
  >> Quinn: It's got to be more than just that, though.
• 27:54
  >> Cameron: We don't know anywhere else, though.
• 27:55
  >> Quinn: Just trying to think what would make sense.
• 27:59
  >> Skylar: But. But the security office is right by. We m.
• 28:02
  Sell drugs, which has the medication that Connor's in
• 28:05
  desperate need of.
• 28:06
  >> Quinn: Where's the we sell drugs at?
• 28:08
  >> Skylar: It's his over on the far end of.
• 28:10
  >> Quinn: The far end of the mall.
• 28:11
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: over.
• 28:12
  >> Skylar: Right under Dino Dozers.
• 28:13
  >> Cameron: We told him to cut. Cut back on it.
• 28:17
  >> Cameron: We staged an intervention because we found
• 28:19
  needles in his car.
• 28:21
  >> Skylar: Oh, no.
• 28:22
  >> Cameron: Poor guy. Too far gone at
• 28:25
  this point. He says he can't live
• 28:28
  without it.
• 28:29
  >> Cameron: Yeah, it's really. It's kind of messed
• 28:31
  up. He's really into this,
• 28:34
  sticking himself. It's kind of sad.
• 28:37
  Hugs, not drugs. Am I right?
• 28:39
  >> Skylar: That's right.
• 28:40
  >> Quinn: So are we going to go past out of game
• 28:43
  here?
• 28:44
  >> Skylar: Oh, and yeah, and don't forget that you guys also have to get your
• 28:47
  presents, too, before you guys head up to the roof.
• 28:50
  you have presents? Yeah, the presents that you guys all
• 28:53
  wanted to get.
• 28:54
  >> Cameron: I feel like that's.
• 28:54
  >> Cameron: Which.
• 28:55
  >> Skylar: Cameron, I never actually got yours.
• 28:56
  >> Cameron: I don't have one.
• 28:58
  >> Skylar: Why were you at this mall then on Black Friday? On Black
• 29:01
  Friday? Yeah.
• 29:01
  >> Cameron: Oh, I was here to
• 29:05
  get this jersey I'm
• 29:08
  wearing.
• 29:10
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Congratulations.
• 29:12
  >> Cameron: He did it.
• 29:13
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: You win.
• 29:15
  >> Skylar: Everybody else still has items they have to grab.
• 29:18
  >> Quinn: Oh, man, I could have grabbed the hat I was after
• 29:21
  in Sporties.
• 29:22
  >> Cameron: Oh, I have a hat, too.
• 29:24
  >> Quinn: Can I have a hat?
• 29:25
  >> Dave: I forgot what I said.
• 29:26
  >> Cameron: I don't have a hat.
• 29:27
  >> Skylar: Dave, you. Yeah, you are after apple
• 29:30
  slicer in a frisbee golf disc.
• 29:32
  >> Dave: Oh, dang it, guys, I gotta go back for the.
• 29:36
  >> Cameron: Wait, I think I have Frisbee discs.
• 29:38
  >> Dave: Oh, yeah.
• 29:38
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, you're absolutely.
• 29:40
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Disc.
• 29:40
  >> Cameron: I got some discs.
• 29:41
  >> Skylar: All right, all right. So, Dave, are you giving him one? I'm assuming
• 29:44
  yes. You're gifting him one. What a holiday thing to do.
• 29:47
  Thanks.
• 29:47
  >> Dave: Thanks, fatty. I totally forgot to grab a disc in
• 29:50
  there.
• 29:52
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I got you. Maybe you'll come across a candle for
• 29:55
  me.
• 30:02
  >> Skylar: Okay, so you guys are coming to the end of
• 30:05
  the, service hallway, but as you
• 30:08
  do, you hear something. So you guys are kind of
• 30:10
  like rounding a corner, and then up ahead there's another corner. But
• 30:13
  around that corner you hear the sound of
• 30:16
  squeaking rubber wheels. Just
• 30:19
  like a constant one is. You can hear something rolling
• 30:22
  towards you. And around the corner
• 30:25
  you see your janitor
• 30:27
  friend, whose name I once again
• 30:30
  don't remember. Old Janitor
• 30:33
  man comes walking around the corner slow
• 30:36
  and steadily with a light shuffle. And he's
• 30:39
  pushing his, his cart of various
• 30:42
  cleaning supplies as he does.
• 30:44
  >> Quinn: I don't think he's human anymore.
• 30:46
  >> Dave: Oh, hey, he's alive.
• 30:48
  >> Cameron: I don't think he's human.
• 30:49
  >> Cameron: I would like to perceive him.
• 30:52
  >> Cameron: Okay, yeah.
• 30:53
  >> Skylar: Roll. Roll me that perceived.
• 30:56
  All right.
• 30:56
  >> Cameron: Who's that? Fella. You guys know him?
• 30:59
  >> Dave: Yeah, he's the janitor. I wonder if he got those power
• 31:02
  tools he went for.
• 31:03
  >> Quinn: Pretty sure he's,
• 31:04
  >> Skylar: And then you can add your perceptions.
• 31:06
  >> Cameron: He's a what?
• 31:07
  >> Quinn: Pretty sure he's not with us anymore.
• 31:09
  >> Cameron: He looks like a janitor. You think
• 31:12
  he turned seven?
• 31:15
  >> Skylar: Seven? you. It's kind of dark
• 31:18
  in here, and. Yeah, I mean, he looks like, You can
• 31:21
  see the name on his
• 31:23
  shirt.
• 31:24
  >> Cameron: Uh-huh.
• 31:24
  >> Skylar: And it says Joffrey.
• 31:28
  Joffrey the janitor.
• 31:29
  >> Cameron: I really love the idea that that is. That's
• 31:32
  definitely not the name that you said before.
• 31:35
  So he's just wearing someone else's
• 31:37
  clothes.
• 31:39
  >> Cameron: Interesting. This guy's got character.
• 31:41
  >> Skylar: Yeah, he changed it. Yeah.
• 31:43
  >> Dave: His uniform got dirty.
• 31:44
  >> Skylar: It got dirty, you know? Yeah. Maybe got some.
• 31:46
  >> Cameron: He has, like, a stash of, like, multiple uniforms,
• 31:49
  so they all have different names on it.
• 31:51
  >> Skylar: He. Well, here's what he. Well, you wouldn't know
• 31:54
  because you had to ask him his backstory or the.
• 31:56
  >> Dave: Mall hired, like, quintuplets to keep.
• 32:00
  >> Cameron: I like that even better. I like that even better.
• 32:02
  >> Skylar: That's incredible.
• 32:04
  >> Cameron: Hi. He's like, I've never seen you before in
• 32:07
  my life.
• 32:10
  >> Skylar: It's like nurse. Giant Pokemon.
• 32:12
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 32:13
  >> Skylar: My exact identical twins.
• 32:16
  >> Dave: I'm Janitor Joe, Janitor
• 32:18
  Joffrey, and Janitor
• 32:21
  Geralt.
• 32:22
  >> Cameron: He looks fine to me. I'm gonna wave.
• 32:25
  >> Skylar: he continues to just push the cart towards
• 32:28
  you.
• 32:28
  >> Cameron: Nevermind. I don't think he's fine. He's not waving
• 32:31
  back.
• 32:31
  >> Cameron: It would be really funny if someone just shot him.
• 32:35
  Just.
• 32:35
  >> Cameron: You've got a bow.
• 32:37
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I will chamber around.
• 32:39
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 32:40
  >> Cameron: But no, no, no. Make the bow guy
• 32:43
  do it. It's quiet.
• 32:44
  >> Cameron: I shoot him with the bow.
• 32:46
  >> Skylar: All right, roll me the chamber it. So
• 32:49
  you're gonna do the same thing?
• 32:52
  Unless you have a supply.
• 32:54
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I am going to ration them.
• 32:56
  >> Skylar: that relates to archery, but I feel like it
• 32:59
  would say archery.
• 33:00
  >> Cameron: Yeah, I mean, we're hunting while
• 33:03
  we're.
• 33:04
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Looking at the fine print. If Jackson were to fall and I would
• 33:07
  pick up his bow, would my Lord of the Rings lore
• 33:10
  give me adequate use of a bow?
• 33:12
  >> Cameron: No.
• 33:12
  >> Skylar: In fact, I would give you. I'd give you a minus on it.
• 33:15
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Because you think that you can shoot like Legolas.
• 33:17
  >> Skylar: The cool way to shoot it is completely
• 33:20
  wrong, but that's what you know is the cool way
• 33:23
  to shoot.
• 33:24
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm glad I did not pick up a.
• 33:26
  >> Cameron: Am I doing Dexterity?
• 33:28
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 33:28
  >> Cameron: Yeah. 11 plus 3.
• 33:31
  >> Skylar: Wow. Okay. You, fire an
• 33:34
  arrow.
• 33:37
  >> Cameron: Three times.
• 33:40
  Three.
• 33:40
  >> Skylar: That's nine damage. Your
• 33:43
  arrow flies true, slamming directly into
• 33:46
  the chest of Joffrey the
• 33:49
  janitor. He flies. or he kind of
• 33:52
  releases.
• 33:53
  >> Cameron: How hard did you shoot that?
• 33:55
  >> Skylar: He releases his cart that continues to
• 33:58
  roll towards you, and he clutches at his chest
• 34:01
  and falls the ground.
• 34:03
  >> Cameron: Does he say anything?
• 34:07
  Dang it. He was fine. We'll help
• 34:09
  him.
• 34:12
  >> Skylar: I'm bleeding out.
• 34:15
  I'm bleeding out.
• 34:16
  >> Cameron: I think that this might create legal
• 34:19
  troubles, in the future.
• 34:23
  No one would question it if he didn't come out of this.
• 34:27
  >> Skylar: So it's a reasonable fact, I
• 34:30
  suppose.
• 34:31
  >> Cameron: What if we just, like, just
• 34:33
  kept going?
• 34:35
  >> Skylar: Tools you requested. I will take a look at the
• 34:37
  tools.
• 34:38
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: What type of tools am I?
• 34:39
  >> Skylar: Straight to the tool.
• 34:42
  >> Dave: Well, I.
• 34:43
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: It had a squeaky wheel. I had to stop it from drawing the
• 34:45
  zombie attention.
• 34:48
  >> Skylar: Yeah, there's a whole toolbox full of various,
• 34:51
  power tools. Yeah, there's a couple of power tools.
• 34:53
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Is there a sawzall?
• 34:55
  >> Skylar: There's probably, like, an electric screwdriver.
• 34:59
  I don't know if there'd be a sawzall. That seems a little
• 35:02
  like, why. Why would a even just a maintenance
• 35:05
  worker for a mall, why would he need a sawzall? I
• 35:08
  don't think he'd have any reason to have a cart with a
• 35:10
  saw.
• 35:11
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I feel like a sawzall is a fairly
• 35:13
  ubiquitous tool.
• 35:15
  >> Skylar: It is, but, like, I feel like you would. That's a special
• 35:17
  situation. The mall doesn't say, hey, go take this thing with
• 35:20
  a bladed saw around.
• 35:22
  >> Cameron: Hey, fatty, what are you looking for?
• 35:27
  Sawzall. You thought he would have a sawzall?
• 35:29
  >> Skylar: I did.
• 35:29
  >> Cameron: Why do you need a sawzaw?
• 35:31
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Because I'm proficient with power tools, so
• 35:34
  I'm looking for a useful power tool.
• 35:36
  >> Dave: How about this random orbital sander?
• 35:41
  >> Cameron: I just feel like, oh, you don't shoot that down. You
• 35:44
  shoot us a Sawza. Huh?
• 35:46
  >> Skylar: What Tools? Primarily. Primarily
• 35:49
  woodworking tools. Probably would have, like,
• 35:52
  a garage area and things would be dealt with there
• 35:55
  and then brought out. So, like, they're here,
• 35:58
  it's just not here.
• 36:00
  >> Cameron: I think we need to get going, guys.
• 36:01
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah, I'll leave the cart be fine.
• 36:04
  >> Dave: That's why he had to go get them to begin
• 36:07
  with.
• 36:08
  >> Skylar: Okay, okay, you know what? That's a fair point. That's literally
• 36:11
  why he disappeared, was to go, okay, there is a
• 36:13
  saw. You
• 36:16
  guys just have to rationale with me. That's what I said at the beginning. Why would
• 36:19
  this. This man have a saw? Dave makes a good point. He went to go get
• 36:22
  you power tools because that's explicitly what you asked him for,
• 36:25
  I'll give you a saw. He went to that garage area,
• 36:28
  and he grabbed us. He said. He said, we do
• 36:31
  a cutscene to the garage.
• 36:37
  He's rushing around and he's grabbing tools off the shelf,
• 36:40
  loading up this cart. And at one moment, you see him. He
• 36:43
  reaches down, he grabs a sawzall, and he looks at it for a
• 36:45
  second, and then he sets it back down, and he turns around,
• 36:48
  and then he goes, you know what? That actually be pretty,
• 36:52
  pretty useful. Grabs it, puts it on the cart. There you
• 36:55
  go. And then he put some other tools on top.
• 36:57
  >> Cameron: His smile comes across his face, knowing that he's gonna
• 37:00
  do a good deal. And then it cuts back to
• 37:03
  him, makes the smile, fades into him laying
• 37:06
  on the ground, holding his chest, going, oh, as we all are
• 37:09
  walking away from.
• 37:10
  >> Skylar: In the prequel, in the pre. In the little throwback, he.
• 37:13
  He says as he grabs the fully loaded cart,
• 37:16
  runs down the service hall with it. He says, these are going to help
• 37:19
  a lot of people. And now. Now cutting
• 37:22
  back to where we're at in this immediate scene. He's laying there on
• 37:25
  the ground as you guys are grabbing tools off of
• 37:28
  this cart, Just ignoring him as he's dying. And he goes,
• 37:31
  those are going to help a lot of
• 37:34
  people.
• 37:34
  >> Cameron: I'm going to walk up and be like, sorry, and then grab
• 37:37
  my arrow.
• 37:45
  >> Skylar: I can restore that arrow
• 37:48
  would probably help him.
• 37:50
  >> Cameron: I am.
• 37:50
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yes, I'm going to.
• 37:51
  >> Dave: So I grabbed some rags from his car.
• 37:53
  >> Skylar: I'm just waiting for you guys to grab the power tools and start building him
• 37:56
  like a freaking arm.
• 38:01
  >> Quinn: First.
• 38:02
  >> Skylar: Get in line, man.
• 38:04
  >> Dave: Where did he get hit?
• 38:05
  >> Skylar: in the chest. I'm gonna say this side opposite the
• 38:08
  heart. But nonetheless, should we just put him.
• 38:10
  >> Quinn: Out of his misery?
• 38:12
  >> Cameron: He's right there.
• 38:13
  >> Quinn: I whispered that. He can't hear me.
• 38:15
  >> Cameron: Yeah, he can.
• 38:16
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So with this, should we just put.
• 38:17
  >> Quinn: You out of your misery?
• 38:18
  >> Skylar: No, wait. I wanted me get out of this
• 38:21
  alive.
• 38:21
  >> Cameron: How about we just put him on the cart and just wheel him along with
• 38:24
  us? Yeah, I'll help pick him. I'll help pick him
• 38:27
  up.
• 38:28
  >> Quinn: We can use him as bait.
• 38:29
  >> Skylar: No.
• 38:30
  >> Dave: I knew you were going to say that.
• 38:32
  >> Cameron: Stop. Whisper. He's right here.
• 38:33
  >> Skylar: I can't hear very well, but I can hear well
• 38:36
  enough.
• 38:37
  >> Quinn: He's going to help a lot of people.
• 38:38
  >> Cameron: Yeah. Oh, there you go. I guess. Anyways,
• 38:41
  Dave, you want to help me get on. On this cart? We can help him as we're
• 38:44
  going.
• 38:44
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 38:45
  >> Quinn: I would help, but I only got.
• 38:46
  >> Skylar: One arm in A quick in a concept.
• 38:49
  I desperately want to know how you lay him out on this
• 38:52
  cart.
• 38:53
  >> Quinn: Just like this. Just like this. Hang on. I'm doing it just like this.
• 38:56
  >> Cameron: A visual example.
• 38:57
  >> Cameron: Just like podcast.
• 38:59
  >> Cameron: Excellent. That's not a cart.
• 39:01
  >> Quinn: Well, it works just like.
• 39:03
  >> Skylar: Are you supermanning him on this cart?
• 39:05
  >> Cameron: Yeah, I, don't know what I'm looking at.
• 39:08
  >> Cameron: Brightest Rick or Mortar.
• 39:09
  >> Quinn: This is a come.
• 39:09
  >> Skylar: And.
• 39:13
  >> Cameron: I was gonna ask you to.
• 39:15
  >> Skylar: I'm gonna roll with that. You guys lay him, like, chest
• 39:17
  down on this cart. Yeah, he's going with a
• 39:20
  bunch of shop rags. Just kind of just held
• 39:23
  up against his chest to help stop.
• 39:25
  >> Cameron: I figured he'd be chest up. And
• 39:28
  Dave's holding, like, a rag on his chest as we're, like,
• 39:31
  pushing the car.
• 39:31
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Well, then what are his, like, limbs doing? Just flailing.
• 39:35
  >> Cameron: Might as well. What else is.
• 39:36
  >> Skylar: Fatty is holding his legs to push the car
• 39:40
  and his affliction just outwards.
• 39:43
  Every time he goes to a doorway.
• 39:45
  >> Cameron: They bump into the arms. He's like, oh,
• 39:49
  keep it down. I'm sorry, we're gonna
• 39:52
  have to gag you.
• 39:53
  >> Skylar: I'm just trying to. We're just trying to help a lot of
• 39:56
  people.
• 39:56
  >> Cameron: Okay, where are we going? Where are we?
• 39:59
  >> Skylar: Janitor Jared, or what was it? Shoot, I
• 40:02
  already.
• 40:03
  >> Cameron: Joffrey.
• 40:03
  >> Skylar: Janitor Joffrey. Just trying to help a lot of people.
• 40:06
  All right, you guys come out of the service entrance, and once
• 40:09
  again, you are nearby the trophy case in
• 40:12
  tees and jerseys. you guys
• 40:15
  have two options now. You can go the long way up and
• 40:18
  around the food court, or you
• 40:21
  can go through the food court.
• 40:24
  It's a shorter direction, but who
• 40:27
  knows what kind of horrors await inside.
• 40:30
  >> Quinn: Yeah, this food court would be,
• 40:33
  like, super quick.
• 40:34
  >> Cameron: Yeah, sure. Let's just cut through the food court.
• 40:35
  >> Skylar: You turn the corner to the left, pushing
• 40:38
  Joffrey, how's it look? yeah, that's what I was getting
• 40:41
  to. And as you guys start to turn, you find the
• 40:44
  food court just.
• 40:48
  >> Quinn: There should be a back door that we can get into.
• 40:51
  >> Skylar: Well, it's kind of hard to find anything because there's just a
• 40:54
  whole bunch of zombies in here. Jeffrey's trying
• 40:57
  to, like, look back as he's, like, kind of laid out
• 41:00
  on the car.
• 41:00
  >> Cameron: Stop squirming, old man. It only makes it go faster.
• 41:03
  >> Skylar: Does it look pretty clear down there?
• 41:05
  >> Cameron: Not a bit. Oh, how about. I think we have to go
• 41:08
  the long way. Okay,
• 41:11
  I'm going to turn the cart. I'm going to start
• 41:14
  going long. All right.
• 41:15
  >> Cameron: And you just, like, hit the corner of a table every
• 41:18
  single.
• 41:19
  >> Cameron: Yeah, sorry. Oh, sorry. Oh,
• 41:22
  sorry.
• 41:23
  >> Quinn: How are we going to get this guy up the line? How am I going to get myself up
• 41:26
  the ladder, for one? But how are we going to get this guy up the ladder?
• 41:29
  Yeah, yeah, I'll be all right. But what about him?
• 41:31
  >> Cameron: We'll get there when we get there. One thing at a
• 41:34
  time.
• 41:35
  >> Quinn: I mean, we could just use him as me.
• 41:37
  >> Cameron: We can get there when we get there.
• 41:40
  One thing at a time. We first need to get to
• 41:43
  the drugstore for Connor. Right, Connor?
• 41:45
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that'd be pretty shock. Abrah.
• 41:47
  >> Cameron: Then we can leave.
• 41:48
  >> Quinn: I need a hat.
• 41:49
  >> Cameron: Do you guys actually care about getting your Black Friday
• 41:52
  stuff?
• 41:52
  >> Quinn: I need a hat.
• 41:53
  >> Cameron: I feel like that should be the least of everyone's worries.
• 41:55
  >> Skylar: That was Skylar's 1x
• 41:57
  explicit rule. Was that you?
• 42:00
  All me. The zombie master
• 42:04
  said you have to care about getting
• 42:07
  your Christmas, presents. Otherwise this is
• 42:10
  going to be really boring.
• 42:12
  >> Cameron: I have like a bunch of cash.
• 42:13
  >> Cameron: What do you mean? This is the most fun.
• 42:15
  >> Skylar: Well, that's true. It has been pretty fun.
• 42:17
  >> Cameron: I think one kid, I don't know if I feel like if I
• 42:20
  asked my, my family if they could
• 42:23
  have the choice between me risking my life to get them
• 42:26
  a candle or coming back home in one piece.
• 42:28
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I feel like the candle, it's a.
• 42:30
  >> Quinn: It'S, it's a free candle at this point.
• 42:32
  >> Cameron: That's true.
• 42:32
  >> Skylar: Everything's free at this point.
• 42:33
  >> Quinn: I feel like they'd be a little bit upset you didn't at least try.
• 42:36
  >> Cameron: Yeah, my mother always says
• 42:39
  I'm the greatest gift.
• 42:41
  >> Skylar: Whatever, the case, you, guys start making your way
• 42:44
  up towards the
• 42:46
  alternate route, which is a little bit longer. You guys
• 42:49
  pass by Gordman's jewelers
• 42:53
  and shortly thereafter you see
• 42:56
  the National Guard recruitment
• 42:58
  office. And inside,
• 43:01
  something inside catches your attention. You pause
• 43:05
  for a moment because not.
• 43:06
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: The pull up bar.
• 43:07
  >> Skylar: Not the pull up bar. As much as you
• 43:10
  dread that pull up bar, it's not that that catches your
• 43:13
  eye. Instead it is
• 43:16
  the military vehicle.
• 43:18
  >> Dave: Nice. What was that one?
• 43:21
  >> Skylar: I'm trying to remember m it
• 43:24
  747 or something like that.
• 43:30
  >> Cameron: For other people to know. We played a zombie based
• 43:33
  mall campaign and one guy just went straight to
• 43:36
  a hum. went to a store that sold a Gurkha
• 43:38
  747. And he spent the
• 43:41
  entire session sitting inside the
• 43:44
  Gurkha with this, with the clerk just talking
• 43:47
  about the different factors of the
• 43:50
  car. And that is what he did.
• 43:53
  >> Skylar: It was the biggest challenge for me as the DM to
• 43:56
  come up with some, like. I mean, once
• 43:59
  asking the clerk for.
• 44:00
  >> Cameron: All the features it had, that was all he
• 44:03
  was doing the whole time. Anyways, what are the features on
• 44:06
  this Humvee?
• 44:07
  >> Skylar: yeah, I mean, it's a Humvee. It's pretty much like the
• 44:10
  closest thing to a tank that you could drive through them all.
• 44:13
  >> Cameron: Yo, guys, let's get in this tank that we can drive through the mall.
• 44:15
  >> Skylar: okay, let me rephrase that. It's not so much a Humvee, it's more of a
• 44:18
  jeep, like a military jeep, but it's pretty sick
• 44:21
  looking. And it would make your job of moving this.
• 44:24
  Ah. Old man a lot easier.
• 44:26
  >> Cameron: What if we all got in this jeep, right? And then we just drove out
• 44:29
  the front door and the military thinks we're military?
• 44:31
  >> Dave: That could work.
• 44:34
  >> Cameron: Like, we put a bunch of flags on and we put on
• 44:37
  some military uniforms.
• 44:39
  >> Skylar: All right, what do you. I mean, are you guys gonna go for it?
• 44:41
  >> Cameron: Well, we should still get in it and then we could just drive to wherever we
• 44:44
  need to go.
• 44:45
  >> Skylar: Dude.
• 44:46
  >> Dave: Well, we gotta find the keys.
• 44:47
  >> Skylar: I was just gonna say,
• 44:48
  >> Dave: All right. Is there anybody in the
• 44:51
  store?
• 44:52
  >> Skylar: Do, me a perception check.
• 44:54
  >> Dave: That's 10.
• 44:56
  >> Skylar: 10. All right, that's a success. So as,
• 44:58
  you kind of take a couple steps towards this National
• 45:01
  Guard recruitment facility facility in the mall, and
• 45:04
  you peek inside, trying to get a glance, you
• 45:07
  do notice, some movement kind of towards
• 45:10
  the back corner of the room, some
• 45:12
  shuffling, from a fairly large
• 45:16
  being.
• 45:16
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Now go ahead and shoot at it.
• 45:19
  >> Skylar: You just take the shotgun and blast.
• 45:21
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah, I got nine more rounds.
• 45:24
  >> Skylar: All right, fair enough. Roll that attack.
• 45:26
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: It is an 11.
• 45:27
  >> Skylar: 11. That's a success.
• 45:29
  >> Cameron: He walked in and he just blasted the first dude we saw in
• 45:32
  this store.
• 45:33
  >> Skylar: All.
• 45:38
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: 15.
• 45:39
  >> Skylar: 15. Holy crap. See, I made you guys
• 45:42
  overpowered. Now your
• 45:45
  gunshot flies out, slamming directly
• 45:47
  into whatever this figure is. You see it
• 45:50
  sort of lurch forward, slamming into the wall. It
• 45:53
  crumples for a moment, then picks itself back up and
• 45:56
  turns towards you guys and starts to shuffle towards you a little
• 45:59
  slower than it was before, towards the light.
• 46:02
  And you realize that it is a zombie that
• 46:05
  is completely decked out in full
• 46:08
  sort of camo military armor.
• 46:11
  >> Cameron: I shoot at it.
• 46:13
  >> Skylar: Okay, yeah, go for it. Roll your
• 46:15
  attack.
• 46:16
  >> Cameron: 14.
• 46:17
  >> Skylar: 14. Wow. Okay. Yeah, that absolutely hits.
• 46:20
  Roll. the damage for that.
• 46:24
  20 total. Yeah. Holy crap.
• 46:27
  All right, what gun do you have again?
• 46:29
  >> Cameron: My ar.
• 46:30
  >> Skylar: Oh, shoot. Yeah. Okay.
• 46:32
  >> Cameron: Do you want me to see how many bullets I used?
• 46:35
  yes, I just three
• 46:38
  bullets.
• 46:39
  >> Skylar: Three bullets. Okay. You fire three
• 46:42
  bullets, all sinking into it, dealing 20
• 46:45
  damage total. the figure crumples to the ground.
• 46:48
  That was, I mean, that was a lot faster than I thought it was going
• 46:51
  to go down. But, he is most definitely dead.
• 46:54
  >> Cameron: All right, well, let's see if the keys are on him.
• 46:56
  All right, I'm gonna go add to my keyring.
• 46:59
  >> Skylar: Okay. You rush over.
• 47:00
  >> Cameron: This is like Project Zomboid.
• 47:02
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 47:03
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna add every key to my key ring.
• 47:05
  >> Skylar: That's a good way to do it. sure enough, you do find, a
• 47:08
  set of keys on it that seem
• 47:10
  to, possibly go to,
• 47:13
  there's a couple of different keys, so rooms and
• 47:16
  vehicles. Possibly. whatever the case, as
• 47:19
  you grab these keys, you hear a, And from out of
• 47:22
  a back room behind it, two more of these National Guard
• 47:25
  zombies comes walking out from
• 47:28
  the back.
• 47:32
