Transcript
- 0:00Greeting scum, and welcome to Flail Face.
- 0:01I am your Holmeister, Kevin. Actually, I guys, I've been
- 0:05thinking about it. I think I'm going to change that
- 0:07up again. I know I called myself
- 0:08Holmeister a couple episodes ago.
- 0:11Yeah, I'm thinking Flailmeister. I like.
- 0:16Flailmeister, What about? I'm still doing it, So what
- 0:19about the? Sex thing.
- 0:21What about the could be? If you play your cards right,
- 0:23huh? What about a hole keeper or the
- 0:26holy? No.
- 0:28No. Does it sound like another sex
- 0:31thing? It does sound like an I think
- 0:33the hole keeper sounds more like a sex thing than the other one.
- 0:35Do meisters keep mice? I don't have any.
- 0:38Mesters keep maces. So holes.
- 0:43OK, who the fuck are you guys? Hi.
- 0:45I'm Thomas. I'm playing Dalton Walls, who
- 0:47happens to be in the body of the Ghoul.
- 0:51Hi, I am Tom and I'm playing Colette who is in the body of a
- 0:54zombie. I'm Mr. Paschke and I'm playing
- 0:57Donnie, who's in the body of a ghost.
- 1:00With that all being said, I guess there's only one thing we
- 1:03can do now is is fly out. Fly out.
- 1:31The last time we left you guys, you found yourselves in these
- 1:34bodies, and you had met up with Zayla in some places.
- 1:38She called nowhere, and you were in a room that had a bunch of
- 1:42doors. You picked one of the doors,
- 1:44which turned out to be like a fishing hamlet, and you're on
- 1:47your quest to find this necromancer to bring it back to
- 1:49hole. You go through.
- 1:51You find yourself in front of a huge black puddle, which would
- 1:54have been really good for you if you would have handled it right,
- 1:57but you didn't. But it's OK.
- 1:58You, a little girl named Elizabeth who is strangely OK
- 2:01with you guys being who you are. Terrible.
- 2:03Human being. Terrible human being, this this
- 2:06small child. And then you end up running into
- 2:08a bunch of hunters. Most children are, that is true.
- 2:12You did end up running into a group of monster hunters and
- 2:15dispatched with them fairly all right.
- 2:17And after all the said and done there, said necromancer rose
- 2:21from the marshes, confronted to you, and then subsequently
- 2:25dipped out. I tried my darndest to to
- 2:27confuse them. Yes, you did.
- 2:29And trying to entice them with black Jelly beans, as Mr.
- 2:32Patchkey was. Trying to disgust a human being
- 2:34you normally are. Point of order, our devices that
- 2:39were given to us to get the Necromancer, but what were they
- 2:41called again? The waste it's.
- 2:43Waste it's. There's basically just like a
- 2:45Peep, you know, a little pudding filled marshmallow little gooey
- 2:48thing. It's a Muppet pop tart filled
- 2:50with pudding. Yes, that is the best way to put
- 2:53it. So not the Jelly beans that I
- 2:55imagined the last time. My bad.
- 2:57No wonder I I didn't sell any of them.
- 3:00No, obviously not. I mean, but if you're looking to
- 3:02push some black Jelly beans, we can talk later.
- 3:03It's me and about it. Hey, baby.
- 3:05You want some Jelly beans? I got you.
- 3:08You. Know the street value of those
- 3:09beans is. That a windowless van that says
- 3:12free black Jelly beans and then just.
- 3:14A dime bag black Jelly beans you want to have good get.
- 3:17Abducted. Again.
- 3:18Yo, you want them good Jelly Bellies?
- 3:20But I bet you could fit eight of those up my nose.
- 3:24So right now you're in the middle of a cross hallway.
- 3:26Ahead of you is the beach that the necromancer had walked up.
- 3:29Behind you is the area where guys fought the monsters.
- 3:33There's a locked gate to one side and there's another hallway
- 3:37leading to your E Looking towards the east, you see a bit
- 3:41of a glow coming from the down that hallway.
- 3:43OK, Colette goes well. OK, So don't you still with me
- 3:50bud? I'm hungry.
- 3:51I'll take it as a no. Donnie, how are you doing?
- 3:54I'm all ready to go. All right, OK, good.
- 3:58I might need your help again. The corral, our bloodthirsty
- 4:01murder hobo. But other than that I think,
- 4:04well, we either go in the direction where our target
- 4:08necromancer came from or this glowy door which gives me the
- 4:11heebie Jeep. Well you can't go into work safe
- 4:14in general, so I might as well follow the heebie jeebies.
- 4:19Yeah, we're we're going to encounter heebie jeebies either
- 4:21way. So, so glow you in for the glow.
- 4:24All right, to the glow. So as you guys make your way
- 4:27down the hallway, you do in fact see a door that you can see
- 4:30light coming through all the way around it.
- 4:33It's not like a piercing blinding light like you'd seen
- 4:35earlier, it's just kind of a faint shine through.
- 4:38OK, hey Donnie, how about you give your give your head a
- 4:42little look, see his face through it?
- 4:44I'm on it. So Donnie just kind of, you
- 4:46know, floats on over there and turns a little invisible just in
- 4:49case, you know, from the neck up, and then puts this invisible
- 4:52head through the door. OK, as you put your head through
- 4:54the door, it is in fact the same chamber that you guys initially
- 4:57came in through where Zalia is meandering around.
- 4:59Oh, yeah. Well, Oh yeah, she's trapped
- 5:01there. She can't leave until we do
- 5:02something about the necromancer, OK?
- 5:04Well, we already learned that, that he's aware of us here.
- 5:08We want to just try a different universe, place, planet, thing,
- 5:13doorway. Well, I don't think we could go
- 5:14back. I don't think we could come back
- 5:16until we get this guy first, right?
- 5:18Those are our orders. Follow me on this here.
- 5:21We we showed up and hallway with a bunch of doors and that led us
- 5:24to the fish people cannibal island thing where we killed a
- 5:29bunch of dudes. I'm under the understanding that
- 5:32the Lich isn't just here. No, it's well, it's either back
- 5:37through this way. Well, no, actually, no, that's
- 5:39wrong. It would have to be where they
- 5:40came from, right through the I. Feel like the lich is a
- 5:43transdimensional being that we used for doorways to control
- 5:46different people. Well, it's not a liches
- 5:49necromancer. Liches are a whole.
- 5:51Necromancer, my bad, I'm saying the wrong thing.
- 5:53It's all good. Well, all we know is not a
- 5:55Dalton pooped it and he disappeared.
- 5:57Where to? Who knows?
- 5:58I'm thinking blaming me. I'm not blaming you.
- 6:01You did great, buddy. I'm giving you a pat on the
- 6:02back. And I give Dalton a pat on the
- 6:04back. I briefly snapped at the ham.
- 6:09You took the pinky, but that's OK.
- 6:11I like I like enthusiasm. Keep that up.
- 6:13So that way is a no go. I say we go into the spooky
- 6:17woods. Marsh, right?
- 6:18You said a Marsh, Kevin. It is basically just a beach
- 6:22that leads off into dark water that just goes beyond.
- 6:25And the necromancer came out from the.
- 6:27Water. Yes, He rose from the water, out
- 6:29from the dark, all right into so.
- 6:32I go towards the water's edge and like a Colette just starts
- 6:35looking out into the water, like looking to see if she could see
- 6:38anything. It's pitch black.
- 6:39Any light that you're bringing to it is basically just deadened
- 6:42by the time you get towards the water.
- 6:44I'm going to find a rock and I'm just going to skip the rock
- 6:48along the water. OK, Do you feel a breeze coming
- 6:51up from the water? This sand is wet underneath your
- 6:54feet. It's eerily silent on this beach
- 6:56area. If you go to skip a rock, it
- 6:58bounces a couple times off the surface of the water and then
- 7:01just disappears into the darkness.
- 7:04And there's no sound. No, it's eerily silent in this
- 7:07area. Like, not like that.
- 7:09And there's nothing along the shoreline that like resembles
- 7:12like a boat. Nope, there's really nothing
- 7:14there. It's just sparing from that
- 7:15point on. OK, so this necromance is
- 7:17probably going to be like a fish person or something.
- 7:19What the hell? I'll take a few steps into the
- 7:22water and just start like splashing it.
- 7:24Punching the water. Actively punching the water.
- 7:27OK, punch all you like that. All you're doing is just making
- 7:29ripples and splashes. There's really nothing.
- 7:32Even the sound of the splashing seems deadened by the darkness
- 7:35that is just beyond your guys's being.
- 7:37Thomas, how far into the water do you go?
- 7:39Just up to like my knees. OK, actually I join you in the
- 7:43water too, but I go a little bit farther.
- 7:45Am I? Am I getting a sense of how if
- 7:47the water gets deeper and deeper?
- 7:49It's progressively getting deeper the further you get into
- 7:51it. It doesn't have like a sharp
- 7:53drop off or anything, it's just gradually descends into an
- 7:56abyss. OK, I stop at the waist and I'm
- 8:00just going, OK, I'm getting bad vibe from this, so I'm just
- 8:03going to get out. Dalton, I think, I think you got
- 8:07to come out too. But there's nothing good in this
- 8:09water. It's a freaking satellite.
- 8:11I'm going to come get us. Where's his necromancer?
- 8:14Let's just find them so I could just RIP them apart.
- 8:16Easy as saying they're done, big boy.
- 8:18What are our other options? The other options were to the
- 8:21east was the hallway that led to the door where the light was
- 8:24coming through, to the West is a rusted gate and to the north is
- 8:28where you guys dispatched at the monster hunters all.
- 8:30Right, well I say then we picked those guys clean.
- 8:34So I say we the only other option is that gate and I can I
- 8:37go walking towards the gate? What is the gate look like?
- 8:40It's just looks like it's been corroded by the just sea water.
- 8:43The salt is just broken down the metal on it it.
- 8:46Looks like if you were like no lock.
- 8:47There's no lock. If you were to give it a swift
- 8:49kick, it'd probably just fall apart.
- 8:51Look at Dalton and I go Dalton smash.
- 8:54With pleasure and goes up and just flails at it.
- 8:58Then this thing just crumbles at the mere touch of you punching
- 9:02at it and beyond it. It leads to a turn that looks
- 9:05like it's heading north. Right.
- 9:07Well, now we're getting some ways and I lead the way.
- 9:11Is there like an indication of light up ahead?
- 9:14Actual like light. Not really, no.
- 9:16It seems pretty dark and dank in here.
- 9:19As you guys round the corner you get to an area where there's
- 9:22just piles of rotting flesh and partially eaten bodies with
- 9:26bones laying everywhere. It's basically the same room
- 9:29that you guys initially came into when you first came.
- 9:32Well, walk through the door. You guys have made a full loop
- 9:34back to the beginning of the. What the hell Back where we
- 9:37started from? Damn it, they're just punching.
- 9:40Corpses. Again, the corpses.
- 9:42You wrote that time I I I brought up that it may in fact
- 9:46be much of its pocket dimension. I'm, I'm getting what you're
- 9:51putting down, Don. So logically, if we went through
- 9:54this room again, we would basically go back to to see a
- 9:59girl. Yeah.
- 10:00And I imagine right now like off in the distance while they're
- 10:03discussing you just here in the background just.
- 10:10Bones crunching and wet meat slapping.
- 10:13If you were to head north, it does take a 90° turn, which
- 10:16would lead you back to that big black puddle we.
- 10:19Already did the big black puddle.
- 10:20I don't think we want to do that.
- 10:22Again. And then beyond that, it was the
- 10:24room that the little girl Elizabeth was swatting in.
- 10:27And then to the South of the black puddle is where you
- 10:29dispatched of the monster hunters as well.
- 10:31It's basically just a big loop there.
- 10:33Just South of where the monster hunters are is the beach.
- 10:36And then there's the the doorway to the to the east from there,
- 10:39so. In the east, indoor, the east
- 10:41brings us back to brings us back to.
- 10:43Mainly, you guys are right here. OK?
- 10:46This is the beach down here. This is where the doorway is
- 10:50down that way. Monster hunters were dispatched
- 10:52there. That's a black puddle.
- 10:53This is where Elizabeth was. OK, so gentlemen, we're at.
- 10:57We got a conundrum on our hands. So Donna, you think maybe the
- 11:01our ghost friend might give us some hints?
- 11:04Ghost friend I'm the ghost friend.
- 11:06I mean like like search for subconscious of what my ghost
- 11:09me. Remembers the the zela or
- 11:13whatever. Zalia.
- 11:15Zalia Yeah, that that damn it. I mean, we can go find out.
- 11:19Yeah, 'cause I don't remember any glow.
- 11:28Let's use our inside voices now. It's really hard to keep this
- 11:33person's temper and lying. But you're doing a good job.
- 11:38You're doing a good job so far, boss.
- 11:39I got to say I do like this new attitude.
- 11:42It it's it takes no shits and gives no fucks.
- 11:45I enjoy that. Believe me, I do much better
- 11:47than the then the douchebag professor that you normally.
- 11:52I'm going to choose to remember that.
- 11:56I say out of love and respect. Of course Dalton remembers this.
- 12:01Tagline. But you know, I'm just, I'm just
- 12:03kidding with you and I just give him a play punch in like the
- 12:06shoulder. There's a a tense scene as I
- 12:09have to restrain myself from latching back out.
- 12:13So aside from the lady out the glowy door, like she wasn't
- 12:16really like, right hostile to ours.
- 12:18So she was just more indifferent, like why are you
- 12:20here? Basically.
- 12:21Yeah, we know that the necromancer has been like, oh
- 12:24fuck you guys and left us alone in here.
- 12:27Like, why don't we just go pick a different door?
- 12:28Yeah, we we found him here. We explored the room world
- 12:32thing. It's a giant loop, unless it's
- 12:35some kind of puzzle we have to solve.
- 12:37I'm just saying try door #2 see if there's a donkey in that one.
- 12:41I mean that's stem like good logic to see if there's anything
- 12:44different on the second pass around.
- 12:47Wait, whatever happens with the little girl?
- 12:49Elizabeth, she should still be there.
- 12:51She should still be there, yeah. We didn't kill her.
- 12:54No, we didn't. Water.
- 12:56Cute. Yes, Dalton, we know.
- 13:01So what do we want to do guys? Go possess the little girl, have
- 13:04her go through the door just to mix things up.
- 13:06Oh. OK.
- 13:08I like this idea. You guys head back to the room
- 13:11where Elizabeth's at. Sure.
- 13:12OK, You open the door. She is in there.
- 13:15She is reading through a book by candlelight.
- 13:17What are you are? You guys still here?
- 13:19No, no, we're not possess. OK.
- 13:22What is it for? How many rounds is that?
- 13:25It's like D4 rounds. I think it is D4.
- 13:27OK, go ahead and roll me AD 4, then two.
- 13:30OK, you've possessed the body of a small girl and what would you
- 13:35like to do for the next two rounds?
- 13:37Make a beeline for the glowing door.
- 13:40OK, you guys make your way past the black puddle, past the
- 13:44corpses of the monsters. You hang left and go towards the
- 13:48door. You open the door and as you
- 13:50open the door you feel this, this huge vacuum pull you
- 13:54through the door. Oh fuck.
- 13:56Holy. Shit, as you guys are pulled
- 14:00through the door, you are back in the main chamber where Zalia
- 14:03is standing there staring at you guys.
- 14:06It might steal the little girl. Though you are not the little
- 14:08girl anymore. What?
- 14:09Did we learn here? Can't take people from door to
- 14:12door. Apparently not.
- 14:13Can I poke my head back through and to see if she's standing
- 14:16there confused as heck? Sure, I poke my head back
- 14:18through. She's standing there looking
- 14:21confused, your head poking beyond the door, and then just
- 14:24turns around and walks off. She doesn't say anything.
- 14:26No, she doesn't say a damn thing.
- 14:28She doesn't have much to say. She was just possessed by a
- 14:30ghost. She's got a lot to process.
- 14:32So I guess turn to Zayla and I go hello again.
- 14:36Welcome back. Did you find Nabetha?
- 14:38Oh, yeah, we, we, we found them. We found them.
- 14:42But unfortunately they they they left just as soon as they can.
- 14:48That does sound about right. She does not like to stay in one
- 14:51place for very long. Yeah.
- 14:53Does she got like a little like hangout?
- 14:55Does she go to any like a she have a little like bod that she
- 14:58likes to go to after doing what necromancers do?
- 15:01No. Her necromancer gig is a full
- 15:03time gig. She sort of passes between these
- 15:07doorways whenever she feels like it.
- 15:09I have not seen her if you were going to ask.
- 15:12How long has it been since you saw this?
- 15:15The Nabetha. Time is irrelevant here.
- 15:18It could be minutes, it could have been years.
- 15:20I I truly don't even know how long I've been here.
- 15:26So what's your favorite? Door.
- 15:27Oh, I don't go through the doors.
- 15:28I'm literally stuck in this area.
- 15:31There's quite a few folks that if they find their way here,
- 15:34they go through whichever door piques their interest, but I
- 15:37don't have any sort of personal preference which.
- 15:40Door Have you heard good things? About, I mean, they all lead to
- 15:43everyone's demise. So anybody goes through, doesn't
- 15:45come out. I'm surprised to see you guys
- 15:47here. Well, we are better than your
- 15:49average adventurers when you agree.
- 15:52I mean come on, look at all this here.
- 15:54And I shake my zombie body and my hand falls off like.
- 15:58Shit, you may want to pick that. Up.
- 16:00Yeah, I have to come like snap it back on.
- 16:03There we go. It's you sitting the Beth that
- 16:05just travels between these doorways.
- 16:07Yeah, I mean, beyond these doorways are different areas
- 16:10that she has taken over. So she comes and goes as she
- 16:14bleeds. But it's just one big circle.
- 16:17In here, in this area, yeah, it's a big circle.
- 16:19But beyond those doorways are, who knows, could be open fields.
- 16:23It could be. So what you're saying is?
- 16:25We need to just go through 1 and I'm just going to go towards the
- 16:29closest door and just kick it open and go through.
- 16:31OK, I get to yell. Surprise.
- 16:33As you open the door, you feel again that vacuum pull the three
- 16:38of you through. All of us, All three of you.
- 16:41Here we go again and see is a lot.
- 16:46And as you guys are pulled through, you are at the top of a
- 16:49spiral staircase going down. Oh shit, OK, there's my Vertigo.
- 16:58And here we go. And then I'm like half on all
- 17:02fours. Just start.
- 17:04Like running down the stair. Yeah, as you're going down, the
- 17:07staircase just keeps going and going.
- 17:10Donnie, we need to look for a leash for the.
- 17:13I'm trying to help but you know waves hand through your.
- 17:16No, I got. No, you are.
- 17:18You're you're a good now. You're good.
- 17:20You're good. Well, let's follow our beastly
- 17:22boy now. Ronstone stairs alone or in
- 17:25pairs. I do not know the song, but if I
- 17:30would know, I would contribute. As you get to the bottom of the
- 17:33staircase, Dalton, you find yourself in front of a huge,
- 17:36heavy stone door. I'm going to start raging at it
- 17:39and just like flinging, clouding my fist on it, clawing it.
- 17:43OK, yes. Is there any light coming from
- 17:45the door or like from the crack or is it just like so heavy that
- 17:49it's like sealed off? It's pretty much sealed off.
- 17:51You do see that there are torches that are, you know,
- 17:54distributed throughout the staircase.
- 17:57Throughout the staircase. Yeah, as you're going down the
- 17:59spiral staircase, there's like torches lighting the way down.
- 18:02I get to the door, well, I think Donnie would beat me to it, and
- 18:05then I follow closely behind. Is there anything like else on
- 18:09this door? Like any apart from Dalton's
- 18:11hands? Like any markings, any etchings,
- 18:15any semblance of how to open this thing.
- 18:17No, unfortunately there's nothing there.
- 18:19It's just a big solid stone door that as Dalton is pounding on
- 18:24this thing, it's starting to slightly move inward.
- 18:27OK, I I take notice of this and I just like brace myself and I
- 18:32go well coming through and I just run at it and I shoulder
- 18:36charge it. OK, as the both of you guys are
- 18:39kicking the shit out of this door, it does slowly slide open
- 18:44enough so that you guys have room to slide through.
- 18:46Cool. As you guys get into the room
- 18:48proper, you see a hallway with a a small desk off to your right
- 18:54and a gated area in front of you with a long hallway beyond that
- 18:58and a doorway to your left. This area appears to be like a
- 19:03guards room, but there's no guards here and it's now empty
- 19:06and silent except for a huge drunk owl.
- 19:10It's wearing a leather jacket and has a sharpened iron beak.
- 19:13It's over on the side on its perch, just swearing and
- 19:17vomiting as it sees you guys coming through the doorway.
- 19:20It lies up to you, chewing you back the way you came.
- 19:27Well, who do we have here? Look at you, Mr. Mr. Owl.
- 19:31Who who, who, who the fuck are you?
- 19:33Get out of here. Well, come on now, let's not be
- 19:36too lazy here. Fuck off.
- 19:39Get out of here, OK? There's nothing in here.
- 19:41For you. Whoa.
- 19:42Well, well, there's something in.
- 19:43Well, you are here. You're something.
- 19:46What? What?
- 19:46Who are you? What do you want?
- 19:48Well, more importantly, who? Are you?
- 19:51Where's Nebetha? Oh, oh, Nebetha, what do you
- 19:54want with Nebetha? I want you to tell me where she
- 19:58is before I start throwing these and I bring my fist up.
- 20:03I mean adult less, not like too hasty at me.
- 20:05Surely an owl of this smart looking nose where everything is
- 20:09pissing me off. Yes, now that was made
- 20:12abundantly clear. The fuck No no no, fuck this and
- 20:16it starts to fly away. No, OK, I'm gonna try to grab
- 20:19him and try to tackle him as he's trying to fly away.
- 20:21OK, go ahead and make a make an agility test.
- 20:24Agility. OK, sure.
- 20:26That's the 13th. OK, you've grabbed this piss
- 20:30drunk stale liquor stenched out and it's flapping and it's
- 20:34pecking at you. I.
- 20:35I am going to slam him on the ground, like since I grabbed him
- 20:38by his feet, I'm just going to be like, I'm just trying to like
- 20:42slam his face into the ground. I am going to do my best and
- 20:46hold it down by the head and I yell at Donnie.
- 20:48Donnie do I can Magic Bunny. All right, done.
- 20:52It's time to shot. I possessed the owl for four
- 20:56hours. OK, point of order.
- 20:59Dalton has slammed the bird against the ground.
- 21:02Go ahead and roll damage. OK, yeah, it'd be probably my
- 21:05claw attack then. Probably.
- 21:07That's five you. Killed the owl.
- 21:09Tell me how you killed this drunken, vomiting, cursing owl.
- 21:13So basically as he's like trying to fly away and everything, I
- 21:16grab him by his feet and I follow through with like
- 21:19dragging him to the ground and then just repeatedly like a club
- 21:22which then turns into like a sack of organs just repeatedly
- 21:27face slamming it into the ground.
- 21:29And as you're turning this once majestic avian into a pile of
- 21:34goo, you notice that a ring of keys falls out of the leather
- 21:39clothing that it was wearing and lands just beyond the puddle of
- 21:43dead owl. I'm just, well, I think the
- 21:45owl's still alive and I'm still trying to hold.
- 21:47It's like it's fighting back. Am I still possessing?
- 21:50It you had not got a chance to possess it yet as the.
- 21:53Attack was very fun, we got a four.
- 21:58Maybe we'll let you. Make one good one I.
- 22:00Imagine that you managed to like possess it for like that half
- 22:03second before the head hit the ground and it just kind of
- 22:06ejected you ghostly form out of the corpse.
- 22:09In that one instant you saw it's whole life flash before your
- 22:13eyes and then. How many tops do I have to die?
- 22:19And I like I realized like, wait, what do you mean die?
- 22:21And I look down and I see the owls not moving anymore and I
- 22:24see just blood and viscera. I'm like, oh, you killed it a
- 22:28while ago didn't you, dog? Just like, just pounded him.
- 22:32I'm still holding on to it. I'm like OK, OK, EW, gross.
- 22:38Just beyond the puddle and where the key ring had lie, there's
- 22:41another doorway that seems to be closed and then back behind you
- 22:45is a hallway to the east and then a hallway to the South that
- 22:49has a gate that you can see through that the hallway
- 22:51stretches beyond. OK.
- 22:53Where did the owl hide his booze?
- 22:55I can't drink it being a ghost but.
- 22:57I mean, that would have been a question for the owl, but he's
- 22:59dead now. How did the owl open the
- 23:02bottles? He has an iron beak.
- 23:04He just popped the top of like a beer.
- 23:07That tracks. OK, no more OWL related
- 23:09questions for me. So I pick up the keys and you
- 23:14said there was a desk. Yes, it looks like there's a
- 23:16small desk. There doesn't seem to be much of
- 23:19anything on it. It looks like this area was once
- 23:21like a a guards station. It's been long abandoned.
- 23:24I. Don't know.
- 23:26I think we just killed the guard, and I think so.
- 23:28What do you mean we Dalton killed the guy?
- 23:30Dalton went ham on that owl. You had to come in.
- 23:33It wasn't so wise. Can I inspect the desk?
- 23:36Yeah, I mean, inspecting the desk, you see scattered papers
- 23:40that have information that doesn't mean anything to
- 23:42anybody. Schedule for his AA meetings.
- 23:45Yeah, and they're all littered with owl pellets all about.
- 23:49Just like piles of little bones exactly mushed into.
- 23:52Circles. The big one used to be a
- 23:54squirrel. Several squirrels.
- 23:58So I take the keys. You said there was a door.
- 24:01Yes. It could just be a doorway you.
- 24:03This whole area smells like old piss and vomit and it just reeks
- 24:06in. Here I thought you're making a
- 24:07Cinnabon. It could smell like a Cinnabon
- 24:10if the Cinnabon smell like piss and shit vomit.
- 24:12Well, I mean. It depends on what mall.
- 24:14You're in just smell. Like or which airport?
- 24:18So I go to the door and I check to see if it's locked.
- 24:21The door is not locked, it opens up to it appears to be a small
- 24:24storage room and as you open the door, yet more piss and vomit
- 24:27just attacks the sense. Oh my God, it smells like a
- 24:30crazy cat lady's house. You do see that off to the side
- 24:33there's a small chest and it looks like it's somebody was
- 24:36sleeping in the storeroom. Was the owl sleeping there?
- 24:39Like is it like feathers or any other like shit to indicate that
- 24:42this is the thing that was that's been living here?
- 24:44Yes, yeah. You can see more pellets in here
- 24:46and it it basically of the owl. Pellets and yeah, I would like
- 24:51to look at what's inside the chest.
- 24:53Fantastic opening the chest. I don't have to open it.
- 24:56OK, well, he can't open it. I can't open it.
- 24:59I can still look at what's inside.
- 25:01OK, roll me AD 20. Oh.
- 25:03That's the 13. Looking in the chest, you see a
- 25:06bouquet of flowers, and as you poke your head in there, the
- 25:09flowers seem to be communicating with you.
- 25:13You like you're hearing voices coming from the flowers
- 25:16themselves. Oh.
- 25:17Shit. They're not saying anything
- 25:19intelligible, it's just random gibberish and muddled letters
- 25:23together. Calm down that little one at a
- 25:25time. Can't make it out what you're
- 25:26starting to tell to hear flowers.
- 25:28Even when you try to calm them down, it it's an intelligible
- 25:31language that they're they're speaking in.
- 25:34Or pull my head out of the chest and it's like, yeah, there's
- 25:38talking bouquet in here, but I can't make sense of it.
- 25:40What do you guys want to open this up?
- 25:42I don't know if it's really worth it.
- 25:44I go bouquet. Yeah, stranger things have
- 25:47happened. And I go, and I open the chest.
- 25:50As you open the chest, ear piercing screams come from the
- 25:54chest the the flowers just start screaming.
- 25:58So they're screaming meanies. Yeah.
- 26:01I punch the bouquet. As you punch the bouquet, the
- 26:04pedals scatter about, the ear piercing scream dies off and it
- 26:09is silent once again. Thank.
- 26:11You Don. Other than that, there's really
- 26:13nothing else in this room all. Right.
- 26:14I'm really beginning to hate this place.
- 26:17I agree with that. What do you say we get the fuck
- 26:20out of this place? Sucks.
- 26:23This seems pointless. Well, apart from the owl seemed
- 26:25really nice. Owl was an asshole.
- 26:27I mean, he told us we should just leave and there was nothing
- 26:29for us here. If anything, we could have just
- 26:32listened to him. It saved a lot of time.
- 26:33You're trying my patience too now.
- 26:35As you guys leave the room, you get back into the hallway proper
- 26:38and there's a hallway beyond gates of going to the South, and
- 26:41then there's a doorway that's open with a hallway going to the
- 26:46east. And that's the only way to go.
- 26:49That's the only two ways you got.
- 26:50South or east? Aside from the staircase behind
- 26:53you that you guys walk out so. South or east?
- 26:56Let's go E just I start start heading that way.
- 26:59OK, as you guys walk down the hallway, you come up to a door
- 27:02just as you're getting 20 pieces in and the store is locked.
- 27:05I take the key ring, actually wait, wait.
- 27:08Hey Donnie, want to give a little Pixie doodle butt that's.
- 27:10What I'm good at? Hell yeah.
- 27:13And I give them a pat on the back and my hand falls through
- 27:15it. All right.
- 27:17Damn, all right, I do the whole invisible first, head second.
- 27:21OK, as you peek through, you do see that is just more hallway
- 27:24leading down that leads to an open room.
- 27:28Actually as you're poking your head through.
- 27:29Donnie, go ahead and make me a presence test one, OK?
- 27:36It just appears that there is a hallway going down.
- 27:39The Room. Explodes.
- 27:41All right, it's just the hallway.
- 27:43Nothing to be concerned about. It's just a straight shot.
- 27:46Donnie, I trust you with my life and I check the door to see if
- 27:50it's locked. The door is locked.
- 27:52All right, I take my key ring my my brand new key ring and I
- 27:56Jingle the keys and I just start trying.
- 27:59I try the first key on the the key ring OK.
- 28:01Do you hear the lock open and the door?
- 28:04Actually, point of order. How many keys are on this key
- 28:06ring? Oh.
- 28:06Fuck, I don't know. Roll AD 13.
- 28:09There's two. Cool.
- 28:11So you pick the right one, so as you turn the lock, the lock
- 28:14opens and the door is free to open.
- 28:16And I just walk in. As you walk in and step down you
- 28:20hear a click fuck and this is a good time.
- 28:23Take a break I. Did not see that
- 28:34coming. Bad news, scum.

- 31:24campaigns. Welcome back to Flail the Face.
- 31:41These guys have gotten themselves in a situation going
- 31:44down a hallway and stepping on the stone plate and you hear a
- 31:47click. Colette, go ahead and roll an
- 31:50agility test. DR10-O here.
- 31:53We go, come on baby 01010 on the dot.
- 31:57Actually wait, let me see if I have anything.
- 32:00It was a what role? Agility.
- 32:02Agility, obviously there's any modifiers to that?
- 32:05Well, would that be like I had a meat mouth?
- 32:07You'd use the zombie one. Oh, a zombie one, right?
- 32:10That's -2 fuck. No.
- 32:13Do you have an omen? Do you have an omen?
- 32:15I have oh God do I use it. It's my last one.
- 32:19I. Mean it's this a use it or lose
- 32:21it situation where if you don't use it, you're completely aft.
- 32:24I mean, well, if any damage would happen, fuck it, you know
- 32:28what? I'm going to use it.
- 32:29No. Cast omen.
- 32:30Last omen. Here we go.
- 32:31Come on. Fuck.
- 32:32That was an 8. Even worse.
- 32:35As you step down and you hear the click, the floor falls out
- 32:39from underneath you and it opens up to a shallow pit.
- 32:43As you look into the shallow pit, a series of spikes shoot up
- 32:46from the floor. Go ahead and roll me AD 4.
- 32:48Well, this is on brands for me out of the three.
- 32:52You take 3 damage. Ouch.
- 32:54All right, so I am down. Let's see to 4.
- 32:58OK, fuck. Oh, your personal pain seems to
- 33:01have lessened this body's rage. Do more of that.
- 33:05And there is the Dalton I know and hate.
- 33:08This sucks. And I just see like a spike
- 33:11through like my thigh, one sticking out of my shoulder and
- 33:15one sticking out of like my kidney.
- 33:17And I'm thinking, you know, this is how I always thought
- 33:19acupuncture would know. But at least it doesn't hurt.
- 33:23This is 1 benefit to being a fleshy meat bag.
- 33:26And hang on one second. And I just sort of just like
- 33:28slowly pull myself out of the spikes and shake myself off.
- 33:33How far down am I from my compatriots?
- 33:36You didn't actually fall down into the pit, the spikes shot up
- 33:40from it. Oh, so I'm just oh, oh.
- 33:43You're still on the same level as you are, pulling yourself
- 33:46from the spikes. The spikes themselves help you
- 33:48by retracting the plates and the floor reengage, and that trap
- 33:52has already reset as you are composing yourself afterwards.
- 33:56Note to self watch where you step.
- 33:59As you say that, you hear fucking he.
- 34:03Walked back onto another trap and reset the trap again.
- 34:07You hear shifting on the ground and you hear like a flickering
- 34:11noise, flickering. As you're standing there,
- 34:14confused by what you're hearing, you see a huge imposing black
- 34:19snake making its way down down the hallway towards you.
- 34:23Oh. Shit.
- 34:24This thing is probably 5 gallon barrel size around oh fuck at
- 34:30the head and gets bigger from there.
- 34:32Well. This is a big boy.
- 34:34It is, and it is making its way down the hallway towards your
- 34:38direction. Well, we know where the switch
- 34:40is to make the spikes come out, so if we time this just right,
- 34:44we might get stabbed too. I suggest we do something
- 34:47because I feel in a very, very strong urge to just go punch it.
- 34:51I could become a spiritual weapon for D4 rounds stealing
- 34:54Ted damage. I bring this up because it's on
- 34:57my character sheet and I haven't done it yet.
- 34:59OK. I mean, there's options that we
- 35:01could do. And as you guys are discussing
- 35:03this, the snake is growing closer and closer.
- 35:06OK, well we don't know how many other triggers there are, just
- 35:08in case there are other ones like litter around.
- 35:10Is there debris or anything on the floor?
- 35:13Yeah, there's random stones and old burnt porches on the ground.
- 35:17I am going to like because I don't really have a lot of
- 35:20manual dexterity in my hands. I'm just going to like grab a
- 35:23decent sized rock and like two hand over throw it.
- 35:27OK, go ahead. Make.
- 35:29I guess I'd be a presence test, wouldn't it?
- 35:31Yep, I miss with a 3. It's like, yeah, and I go to
- 35:35throw it and it like actually slips out of my hands behind me
- 35:38and just falls on the ground behind.
- 35:41Me. As you do that, the snake stops
- 35:43and rears up and slithers back into the room that was in.
- 35:47That motherfucker. It just.
- 35:50OK. It backtracked into the room
- 35:52that it was in. I go running after it OK.
- 35:55The dog. Go ahead and make an agility
- 35:57test to see if you can avoid the trap.
- 36:00That's an 8. That is an 8.
- 36:01As you step down, you hear the click.
- 36:03The doors open up and the spikes shoot back up through the floor.
- 36:062 -1 so one point of damage. All right, so as you are stabbed
- 36:14through the foot, it is just enraging you even more.
- 36:17This is the most infuriating situation that you could
- 36:20possibly be in right now. Fuck this and I'm just continue
- 36:24running. OK, you make it past there.
- 36:26You get into a room where this large snake is basically stuffed
- 36:30into this room with its head underneath its body.
- 36:33It's coiled up to the point where its body is basically on
- 36:36top of its head. Oh, I go running, charging right
- 36:39at it. I'm going to try to dig my claws
- 36:41right into its face. OK, go for it.
- 36:43It has no armor. The more you look at it, it
- 36:46doesn't look as imposing as as. It just looks pathetic.
- 36:49That makes me even more angry. So it's.
- 36:51Just a scared little guy. And that's a 12 to hit.
- 36:56He's scared. Scared little guy?
- 36:57Well. Now he's dead.
- 36:58That will hit it. Four damage.
- 37:01All right, you hear it just hiss in pain as you slice at it.
- 37:05It's still up, but it is not looking good.
- 37:07Just blood and goo just dripping out of where you've slashed at
- 37:12it. I would assume we go to
- 37:14initiative at this point. That would be correct.
- 37:18D6 That's a one. All right, so out of fear, this
- 37:21snake lacklusterly goes and snaps at you.
- 37:26What is A7? OK.
- 37:28And it makes purchase. The bite is as pathetic as the
- 37:32snake looks itself. So it's AD 2 damage.
- 37:36That's. 2. An armor of two.
- 37:39Yeah, I forgot I had armor too. So.
- 37:42OK, what was your armor? D2.
- 37:44OK, so go ahead and roll the armor and take off the damage.
- 37:47That is A1 all right, so 3, so 3 damage.
- 37:51OK, perfect. So no, actually.
- 37:53Oh no, two damage, I'm sorry. So I'm down to 5.
- 37:55So that was the snake's turn. I could heal people if anyone's
- 37:58really that bad. As long as I eat brains I'm fine
- 38:01because according to the zombie I can't die.
- 38:03I just I just get negative modifiers to my stats.
- 38:06As long as I eat brains I gain back 1H.
- 38:08Pit I can just okay, I'm just I feel like I can do more than
- 38:12just possess things through. Balls if anything Dalton.
- 38:17Like you can heal Dalton. Hey, buddy, you want some heal
- 38:21there? I'll take that as a yes.
- 38:27Yeah, that's a four on my D4 for D4 HP to heal damage from living
- 38:33thing. Oh, from a living thing. 00.
- 38:36Yeah, fine. Print there.
- 38:37Shoot. You took damage from the spike
- 38:40and two from the snake, right? Snakes are alive if I'm cracked.
- 38:45I blocked the. I blocked the damage from the
- 38:47snake. Oh well then I can't heal you.
- 38:51I've just wasted our time. Now hang on unnecessarily, I
- 38:58guess I'll I'll take a swipe at this bad boy.
- 39:01You're still on the other side of the spikes.
- 39:02Oh shit. Dalton's the only one that
- 39:04rushed. To drop just taking another
- 39:06swing. Make it happen.
- 39:07That is a 14. OK, we're all your demise.
- 39:12Five damage. Tell me how you do it.
- 39:14Yeah, so I basically like claws down through the top and I hit
- 39:18that soft spot on the on the top of the head and just kind of go
- 39:21right down the fontanelle through and my fist goes
- 39:25through. And now my like forearm is stuck
- 39:27in the skull of this snake as my hands out the bottom and I'm
- 39:31just OK waving around and the body's just kind of flopping.
- 39:34OK, as you're doing this you see that beyond the snake there is a
- 39:38gate and the gate opens and you see shadowy type hands grabbing
- 39:43the snake and pulling it into beyond pitch black darkness.
- 39:47The Colette tries to get past the spikes to try to get some
- 39:52brain matter that might have fallen out of the snake's head.
- 39:55I will allow it. Wait wait and I guess I will
- 39:58roll see if I see any chunks of brain matter.
- 40:01You know what, with all the what Dalton's done, there's bits of
- 40:05brain chunks around. The finesse of Dalton.
- 40:08Yes, and as you're picking it up that you can see these shadowy
- 40:11hands are pulling this huge snake body Into Darkness.
- 40:15And as the head gets pulled into this weird dark pitch blackness,
- 40:20the gate closes back behind it. Oh shit, I'm just making
- 40:24horrible slurping noises, slurping up brain matter and I
- 40:27look at my buddies and I go well that's weird.
- 40:31I investigate. I'm just like flinging my arm
- 40:35and the few chunks and stuff are just.
- 40:37I grab your hand and I just start licking your fingers for
- 40:40any more brain matter. Get off of me and just like,
- 40:45chug away. What?
- 40:47Come on, what? What are you investigating
- 40:49there, Miss Basking the door closing, yes.
- 40:51I do the the third time today I move my head through invisibly.
- 40:56OK, you push your head through the gate and it is pitch black.
- 41:00There's just darkness. There is the darkest darkness
- 41:03you've ever seen. What'd you see, Donnie?
- 41:05I looked into the abyss. There was nothing but darkness.
- 41:09Cold. Sounds like my first marriage.
- 41:12I hear that that beyond that, there's nothing else in this
- 41:15room. Is the door heavy?
- 41:17Into the darkness. Oh, I thought it was closed.
- 41:19I wouldn't know lose hand through door just.
- 41:24All right. Well, I guess my question is, is
- 41:26it like the wooden door? Is it a stone door?
- 41:28It's like a metal gating. Oh.
- 41:30It's a metal gate, OK. Yeah, All right.
- 41:32That's just a big wall of darkness.
- 41:34Beyond that. Oh.
- 41:35It's just a big wall of darkness.
- 41:36Yeah. Holy shit.
- 41:38OK. And there was no other door
- 41:39through the spike room. No, it was just a long haul
- 41:42hallway going east to West. Well, once more into the breach,
- 41:46gentlemen. And I just fuck it.
- 41:49I just go through. Into the darkness.
- 41:51Into the darkness. I will follow suit the only way.
- 41:55It's the only way to go. Yeah, all the cool kids are
- 41:57doing it, Peer. Pressure.
- 41:58OK, as you guys jump into the darkness, you feel this
- 42:03deafening silence completely encompassing you.
- 42:06You can't see anything. You can't feel anything.
- 42:08You don't know where any of you are in relation to each other.
- 42:11Oh shit. Doesn't feel like you're
- 42:12falling. It doesn't feel like you're on
- 42:14stable ground. You're just existing.
- 42:17And then the next thing you know, you find yourself at the
- 42:20top of a spiral staircase. Does it look like the spiral
- 42:24staircase we were at before? Yes it does.
- 42:27Motherfucker. And then just start scrambling
- 42:30down the steps again. OK, scramble down the steps.
- 42:33You find the hallway that you guys were initially in.
- 42:36Where or Dalton dispatched that drunken owl To the east is the
- 42:40hallway where the spice and the make was, and a straight ahead
- 42:44of you is a hallway that's blocked off.
- 42:46It has a series of gates blocking this hallway off that.
- 42:49In the hallway itself, it's illuminated by green torches
- 42:52staggered through to the hallway beyond these gates.
- 42:57It's just screams necromance and now it, doesn't it?
- 42:59Let's look at the gates. Yeah, let's go the way we
- 43:02haven't been yet. OK, the gates do appear to be a
- 43:07lot more solid than the ones you've seen before.
- 43:10OK, I I go up to the middle one and test it to see if it's like
- 43:16locked. It is locked and it is solid.
- 43:19Oh. You know Keyhole to speak of.
- 43:22There's a keyhole. All right, right.
- 43:24One more key left. Video game logic says it has to
- 43:27work. Well, I take one key and I just
- 43:29put it in the hole and try to see if it works.
- 43:32Go ahead and make a presence test.
- 43:38That is A7. The key goes in, but it doesn't
- 43:41seem to activate the tumblers. All right, so I got one more
- 43:45key. I'll try the other one.
- 43:46OK, I can use that die. This time I'm going to use
- 43:49another one and that is a 16. You hear the tumblers click and
- 43:53this big solid, heavy gate is free and open.
- 43:56Cool. As you walk through the gate,
- 43:59you see to either side large empty cells with strange
- 44:03mushrooms growing on one of the walls.
- 44:07I walk over to it and I just actually wait.
- 44:09I go to the South. There's nothing else in the cell
- 44:11other than these mushrooms. There's cells on either side on
- 44:14the West and the east. Appears to be hay beds in there
- 44:17for whoever was here being held in there.
- 44:19Both of the cells are open and you notice that to the east that
- 44:24the mushrooms seem to be growing more predominant and just a huge
- 44:29bushel of them on the southeast wall.
- 44:31I'm going to take a couple of. Them OK as you pick up the
- 44:34mushrooms they have a weird fragrance to them, almost a
- 44:38sweet smell to them OK? Smells like a Cinnabon.
- 44:41It does smell like a Cinnabon but they have a weird texture to
- 44:45them, almost like if a layer of like a spore like dust kind of
- 44:49on them. OK.
- 44:51I pluck a couple and like I feel like the moisture like on the
- 44:55tips of my fingers like. Go ahead, lick it.
- 44:59I would if I could put it in your.
- 45:01Mouth. Well, Dalton, since I licked
- 45:03your fingers already, how about I give you the courtesy of you
- 45:06lick in my fingers? I will bite them if you put them
- 45:08near me. Well noted.
- 45:10All right, Yeah, I'm bite the tips of his fingers.
- 45:13Do that, big guy. OK.
- 45:15How many licks does it take to get to the center of me one?
- 45:20You've just bit off the fingers of Colette, but you can also
- 45:23taste the sweet powder that's on there as it touches your tongue.
- 45:27You can feel that it's got the burning sensation like a poison,
- 45:30but being as you're already dead, it can't kill you.
- 45:33So you can feel that it's, it's burning and kind of foaming up
- 45:37in your mouth. It's.
- 45:38Trying to kill you. But it's not like affecting you,
- 45:41if that. Save those for later.
- 45:44Way ahead of you, big guy. I assume that Dalton bit off my
- 45:48index and my middle finger, so I'm just holding some mushrooms
- 45:52in between my ring and my pinky and my thumb and I'm just
- 45:55putting them in my pocket. Perfect.
- 45:57As you were pulling these mushrooms off the wall, you'd
- 46:00notice that back behind where the mushrooms are appears to be
- 46:03like a small tunnel like dug into the wall.
- 46:06Hey now. Does this look like something we
- 46:08could possibly crawl through? It does.
- 46:11It looks like somebody has already crawled through it and
- 46:15burrowed from the cell to who knows where.
- 46:17Wasn't Elizabeth, was it? No, now she doesn't go in this
- 46:20area. All right.
- 46:22I guess I will just start leading the way now.
- 46:25OK, squeeze through. You would probably have to get
- 46:29on all fours and kind of army crawl through.
- 46:31This seems like forever, roughly, you know, 30 to 45
- 46:35feet. As you get to the end of the
- 46:37tunnel, you see that it leads into yet another cell.
- 46:40You basically fall from the tunnel onto a hay bed.
- 46:44And this cell is small and cramped and it's reeks of rotten
- 46:48bodies and littered with bones. Colette, you're the 1st this
- 46:52went through. Yes, go ahead and roll me a
- 46:55presence test as you get in there.
- 46:57Roll. Presence that is actually, let
- 47:01me see presence if there's anything more to that.
- 47:03Hang on, I don't believe I do. No, it's just a flat 10.
- 47:06A10 OK, it's just reeks in here and you don't see anything of
- 47:12worth or note. Just the just the hay bed and
- 47:15just the cell. I'm just littered with
- 47:18desiccated bodies and a bloody mess.
- 47:21Well, room surface hasn't been here.
- 47:23Apart from that, you're all clear, boys.
- 47:25Let's go. I follow my way, my actions as I
- 47:30go. Is there any way out of the
- 47:32cell? The cell door is closed As you
- 47:37guys get into the room proper, it is fairly cramped.
- 47:40You can see the cell door is closed.
- 47:41You're kind of walking amongst the bones and the bodies in this
- 47:45room, but you know you're not alone.
- 47:47On the other side of the gate you see again a cloaked figure
- 47:51with a skull mask holding a staff.
- 47:55Well, this is more like. It now maybe you'll answer my
- 47:57questions. Who are you, who are you?
- 47:59Where are you from and why are you here?
- 48:02We're but Lola, Pop Tarts salesman.
- 48:05You care for a first sample. And as you hold out the waste it
- 48:10in your hand, the being freezes are you less.
- 48:14From Hold No, it's a bit of a complicated back story.
- 48:18What? I'm a ghost?
- 48:20Why are you here? To find you for.
- 48:23What? At this point is he close enough
- 48:26to the bars and if I throw myself against the bars I can
- 48:28reach through and grab him? I would assume no.
- 48:31She has got a safe distance but the bars could be broken through
- 48:35I'm. Going to throw myself at him.
- 48:37OK, go ahead and make a strength check.
- 48:39That is a 12. As you hit the bars, the door
- 48:43comes off the hinges and lays open at the Bethas feet.
- 48:49Ohh shit guitar OK. Is it worth to try and possess
- 48:56her? I mean if it'll immobilize her
- 48:59for like a second they could just take a waste it and then
- 49:02just like just slap it on her. If I eat a waste of water that's
- 49:06seen her, does that send me back to hole or does that send me and
- 49:12her back to hole? Well, you can't really eat
- 49:15anything. So then once I stop possessing
- 49:18her, I can then eat my wasted. Oh, oh, wait, yes.
- 49:21So if you possessed her, you can get her to eat?
- 49:24Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I mean, you could always try.
- 49:28I would like to possess her for four rounds.
- 49:33OK, as she's standing there in shock, focused on the gate
- 49:38that's at her feet, you enter her body and you enter through
- 49:43her body and out the other way. Shit, that's only one round.
- 49:48As she realizes what has happened, she looks back at you
- 49:52and says I created these and dead.
- 49:54They have no effect on the effect role initiative.
- 49:57OK, I got, I got it this time 5. OK, let's do what I'll.
- 50:04Go first. Fuck it.
- 50:05I'm just going to say. So you know what we're all
- 50:09about, right? I'm pretty hungry, so you know
- 50:11what I want, bitch? And I just go at her, OK,
- 50:16Strength +2, right? So that's 11.
- 50:18Both my strength it's 2, so that's at 13.
- 50:21OK, that would be a hit, yes. And it says D4 weapon of choice.
- 50:26Whatever D4 weapon you would have, but it's going to do D4
- 50:29damage. OK, I don't have a weapon.
- 50:32I think I just have No, no, I remember now I had like a bone
- 50:35that I like made into like a dagger.
- 50:37So I'm just going to attack with my dagger.
- 50:40OK, bone. And that is a four.
- 50:43OK, you take a swipe at her with this dagger and it catches her
- 50:48cloak. There's quite a bit more
- 50:50resistance than you're expecting.
- 50:51It's a D4 armor, so go in real D4 and see what gets through. 1.
- 50:58OK, so was that three points? Yeah.
- 51:01OK, so it catches the cloak and it tears and you feel that it's
- 51:06caught something beyond that cloak.
- 51:07And she winces ever so slightly. Who's next?
- 51:10I would like to become a spectral weapon before her Oz
- 51:14Guilt and damage. OK, hell.
- 51:16Yes. When you've been hot, you've
- 51:18been hot. That's a three.
- 51:19I'll take it. All right, who is going to be
- 51:21wielding the spectral weapon? Dalton.
- 51:22That's got to be Dalton. What type of weapon would this
- 51:25be? It is explained Owl.
- 51:29I transform into the ghost of a drunk owl wearing a leather
- 51:32vest. Dalton grabs the special owl by
- 51:35the legs. Sounds.
- 51:39Allow it. That is an 18.
- 51:42That is a solid hit. So it's AD 10 damage.
- 51:44Yes. That is A9.
- 51:48Right. As you swing this spectral
- 51:52leather vested iron beaked owl you catch Nabetha square in the
- 52:00chest and she is thrown back off of balance and not looking good.
- 52:06Now as she's doing this, you see that she taps her staff against
- 52:10the ground and a large long blade comes out of the top and
- 52:14now it resembles A scythe. Oh shit.
- 52:17And she is going to swing at, well, actually being as Donnie
- 52:22as a spectral owl. Odds will be Colette even will
- 52:25be Dalton swings at Colette. Oh goody.
- 52:30So go ahead and make a defense role.
- 52:31Bring it you. Undead whore.
- 52:34That is a 17 -, 2. That's a 15.
- 52:37OK, so as she's off balance swinging wildly with the site,
- 52:42she does miss so initiative. As she's misses, I just hold up
- 52:45the middle. Well, I try to hold up my middle
- 52:48fingers, but I forgot that Dalton ate one of them, so it's
- 52:51just the one finger. Got it A.
- 52:53Little stub A. Little stub it.
- 52:57All right, I'll roll initiative at this time.
- 52:59I'll do it again. That is a. 4.
- 53:01All right. Us again.
- 53:02All right, I'll continue swinging my my buddy Donnie
- 53:07here. That is a 12. 12 is a hit.
- 53:13Probably 4 damage. And D4 armor that cloak.
- 53:17That is 2SO2 damage. All right, still reeling from
- 53:22the last Owl attack, you catch her again, and she's seems to be
- 53:27staggering as she stands. I'm, I'm swinging at her now.
- 53:31Fuck it. I don't need to do anything
- 53:32fancy. I'm just, I'm just swinging,
- 53:33swinging. OK. 5th fucking Teen +2.
- 53:37That's a hit. Fuck yes, I take a hint out of
- 53:40Dalton's playbook and I run at her and I pounce and I just
- 53:43like, take my dagger and I stab her in the shoulder.
- 53:46OK for one different one damage and it's not even worth it.
- 53:51One that completely negates it. OK shit, you jump on here and go
- 53:56to stab her. Yeah, like God, yeah.
- 53:58Like OK, I'm hoping like my body weight will help topple her too.
- 54:03OK, so as you jump on here and you go to stab her in the
- 54:06shoulder, the cloak is deflecting this.
- 54:08Yeah, and as she's got a hold of you, she takes the tip of the
- 54:13site and taps you with it. Go and roll me AD 4.
- 54:16Oh shit. That are the four.
- 54:18Nothing seems to happen, you just merely feel the touch of
- 54:22the scythe on you, but you don't feel different.
- 54:24It's not like she's attacking you with it or stabbing you with
- 54:27it, just merely tapping you with it.
- 54:30I don't feel anything else. You don't feel anything else
- 54:32yet? Yeah.
- 54:34Yeah, OK. Role Initiative.
- 54:38OK, anybody else want to do it this time?
- 54:41Sure. D6 Razor that's 5.
- 54:45Another round house with the Owl Club.
- 54:47OK, now know that she is holding Colette's still swinging zombie
- 54:53body. OK.
- 54:54That is a 12. That is a hit.
- 54:56I am dazed at like the fact. Like what the fuck was that for
- 55:00you stupid? Oh my fucking God, that's ten
- 55:03shit. D4 armor. 3 so 7.
- 55:06OK, as you hit her with this, she lets Colette go and she
- 55:12drops the scythe and she drops to her knees and you just hear
- 55:15her muttering I can't go back. I can't go back.
- 55:18I can't go back. I cannot go back.
- 55:20You can and you will, and I'm going to jam a waste it into her
- 55:23mouth, OK? Hell yeah.
- 55:25As you jam the waste it into the mouth, you see the body start
- 55:30melting in front of you into a pile of goo, and then that goo
- 55:36forms into a ball and then that ball blips with a flash of light
- 55:40and is gone. OK that was the coolest shit I
- 55:43have ever seen I guess. That's mission A comp.
- 55:47My turn next. I I go to inspect the scythe,
- 55:50I'm like Gimme, Gimme the nice shiny.
- 55:53Pointy thing. As you go to look at the scythe,
- 55:55the blade itself starts to instantaneously rust and crumble
- 55:59into dust. Wow.
- 56:00In your hand. That was just a fucking stick.
- 56:02Yeah, well, that's fucking boring.
- 56:04Well, I guess all's well that ends well, gentlemen.
- 56:07So call the doc. Yeah, let's go back to Hot Mom.
- 56:10She she said we were just supposed to eat the wasted when
- 56:12we accomplished the mission, right?
- 56:14Yeah, that is correct. Now it's.
- 56:15Yeah. All right.
- 56:17Bottoms up. I attempted to eat mine, Kevin.
- 56:21OK, as all three of you eat the wasted, your bodies melt,
- 56:25including yours Donnie into like some sort of ectoplasmic goo.
- 56:29They all form into a ball and then within a flash of light you
- 56:33guys are gone and you wake up back in the chairs that you were
- 56:36strapped to. Fingers.
- 56:38Back on hole in front of Doctor Brock Martin.
- 56:42Feels good to be myself again. I just count all the fingers on
- 56:45my hands. Me, for such a dark vision of
- 56:52reality, I was under the impression that when you died,
- 56:58you went to either a beautiful Meadow full of Cyborg grass and
- 57:05Cyborg trees, Cyborg flowers, or you went to the other place that
- 57:10was full of alpacas. And as you guys start to regain
- 57:16your vision and get back to consciousness, you see Doctor
- 57:19Throckmorton standing in front of you, just slow clapping.
- 57:22Well done. Well done everybody.
- 57:25Harold, please take Nabetha. And as you look over, you see
- 57:29Harold, the big hulking mask has what appears to be the
- 57:33necromancer Nabetha, but it pulls off the skull mask and
- 57:37pulls down the cloak. And the person in front of you
- 57:39seems very familiar. It looks like Zalia, the lady
- 57:42that was in the hallway. Oh motherfucker.
- 57:46And she's screaming and. I can't the health spawn will
- 57:53they'll have my head for. This.
- 57:54And as she says that, Harold puts his hand over her mouth and
- 57:58carts her off into a different room.
- 57:59Well done everybody. This that was that was great.
- 58:03You guys worked terrible as a team, but you got the job done.
- 58:07Thank you so much. How many years off do we get?
- 58:12Good points. Yes, you guys did earn this.
- 58:15Everybody roll AD 10, D 10. 10 You know what, Doc, forgive
- 58:21forgive me for being a little nosy busy body, but what are you
- 58:25going to do with with Nabetha at there's Alia?
- 58:28What's she going to do now? That's none of your concerned
- 58:32guys. We're going to.
- 58:34We'll take care of that. OK, I rolled A5 by the way.
- 58:37I rolled A10 and all I'm hearing from you is that this means
- 58:42she's going to come back at a later arc as our unlikely ally.
- 58:46Everybody gets 10 years off of your sentence.
- 58:49Only 86 more to go. 41 I have. Oh, I have 30 more years.
- 58:55Wonderful. Well with that guys, I will will
- 58:58let you get back as you guys work on we set up some
- 59:00accommodations here for you. There's no reason for you guys.
- 59:03So but go back into general population.
- 59:05You guys are you're doing amazing.
- 59:06So you're going to be staying here with us and we'll call upon
- 59:09you once we get more information to send you back out again.
- 59:13But I had a good thing going, then Gen.
- 59:14Pop, I got a good side business now is finally getting to be a
- 59:17reputable saleswoman. Yeah, but do you really want to
- 59:20spend time with your ex-husband out there?
- 59:24Money ex. Husband Money ex.
- 59:27Are the booze here better than gasoline?
- 59:29Well, I guess suppose you'll have to check with that.
- 59:32Guys, rest up. This is the first of many
- 59:34missions that we'll have you on. And keep an eye on yourselves
- 59:38because being in this state can can cause some oh gosh, how do I
- 59:43want to put this? I could fuck with your head.
- 59:46Yeah, point of matter. When I was a zombie, Dalton bit
- 59:50me. And is this going to get
- 59:51infected? Yes, it is.

- 1:04:48realm of possibility. I mean, owls could wear vests.
