June 20th, Anno Domini, 1586.
0:24
Elizabeth, my dearest Elizabeth,
0:29
the unbelievable has occurred.
0:32
The famed Sir Francis Drake himself
0:35
has graced our humble shores with his presence.
0:39
One would assume such a renowned explorer,
0:43
a man who has circumnavigated the globe,
0:46
would possess a morricum of compassion,
0:49
a willingness to aid his fellow countrymen
0:53
in their fledgling endeavour.
0:55
One would be sorely mistaken.
0:58
The man arrived with his ships laden.
1:01
I tell you laden.
1:03
Yet, when we, gaunt and weary from a year of meagre rations
1:09
and dwindling hope, pleaded for even the smallest provision,
1:13
he turned a deaf ear, claiming his holds were full of...
1:18
of what I know not, but certainly not the sustenance
1:22
we so desperately require.
1:25
Selfish, utterly and despicably selfish.
1:30
He could have spared a fraction of his bounty
1:32
and eased our suffering, but he chose instead
1:34
to haul his riches while we starve.
1:37
And the fools, the weak-kneed, lily-livid fools
1:41
amongst our company, Drake in his supposed magnanimity,
1:45
offered them passage back to England.
1:48
And like sheep to the slaughter, the majority have accepted.
1:53
They whine and moan about hardship,
1:56
but missing their comfortable lives.
1:59
Can they not see the incredible opportunity
2:02
that lies before us here?
2:04
The chance to claim vast tracts of land
2:06
to build fortunes beyond imagining.
2:09
All it requires is a little fortitude, a little patience.
2:14
But no, they scurry back to their familiar hearts,
2:19
abandoning the very cusp of prosperity.
2:23
But this, Elizabeth, this exodus of the weak,
2:27
I see as a blessing in disguise.
2:30
If you are mouths to feed,
2:32
means our remaining supplies will stretch further.
2:35
The land, ripe for the taking,
2:37
will be even more abundant for those of us
2:40
with the vision and the courage to stay.
2:43
You must come, Elizabeth.
2:45
As soon as the ships at sail for these shores,
2:47
must be on it.
2:49
Imagine the two of us claiming our stake in this new world,
2:53
becoming lords and ladies of our own domain.
2:58
As for sustenance until then,
3:00
well, these natives on the nearby islands
3:03
seem to have an abundance of things.
3:06
Strange trinkets, perhaps even food stores.
3:09
A small penis can easily reach their shores,
3:12
and a little persuasion should yield what we need.
3:16
They cling to peculiar beliefs, these savages.
3:19
Perhaps their holy relics, their totems as they call them,
3:23
hold some intrinsic value,
3:25
something we could trade or simply take.
3:30
Desperate times, my love, call for pragmatic measures.
3:34
Hasten your journey, Elizabeth.
3:36
Fortuna waits, yours, with unwavering ambition.
3:41
Richard.
3:43
[music]
4:06
When last we left off,
4:08
you guys had just finished telling your scary stories
4:11
around the campfire at Camp Roanoke,
4:15
when suddenly the very totem which you were using
4:18
as sort of the "who's it?" of telling the stories
4:21
began to shake and vibrate and glow with a mysterious magical light.
4:27
And just as it sort of released that glow,
4:30
you heard a mournful sound in the background,
4:33
deep in the forests at the eastern end of this island
4:37
that sounded very much like the very moan
4:40
that Soapy Joe had once heard before
4:44
that was the big foot that he saw.
4:47
And then you turn to see the scrungus was waiting.
4:51
The scrungus, the horrible creature that Martin Fresh
4:53
had once allegedly seen in his cabin in the woods.
4:57
It starts to move towards you guys.
5:01
One clawed, horrible clawed foot at a time.
5:05
It's dark gray.
5:07
You don't even want to call it fur.
5:10
It's almost flesh-like and almost oozes off of it.
5:14
Kind of like some sort of gooey snail.
5:18
But it has the visage of almost a bear-like creature,
5:22
but it walks on two legs as it starts to approach you guys.
5:26
What do you do?
5:28
Well, Soapy Joe gets his camera out and starts recording.
5:31
He stands up and points at it and goes, "What in the world is that thing?
5:35
Crikey!"
5:37
And you hear all of the four NPC individuals
5:41
that are with you, the other camp workers,
5:44
Ophelia, Hazel, Brayden, Justin, all just leap up.
5:48
They shout, scream, yell, whatever the case,
5:51
and they just start bolting away as fast as they possibly can.
5:55
What is that thing? I've never seen anything like that in my life.
5:58
That thing is freaky!
6:00
And they disappear into the darkness of the camp.
6:04
What are you guys doing?
6:06
I'm vlogging.
6:08
You're vlogging? This is true.
6:10
I'm hiding behind one of the logs.
6:12
Okay, guys, I think something is coming up through the woods.
6:16
It looks like a Sasquatch, but I don't know.
6:19
It's huge. It looks like a bear.
6:22
And everyone else left.
6:24
But I'm going to be here.
6:26
I don't want to freak out.
6:28
I wonder if my guy's quantum beads.
6:30
What is it?
6:36
Martin Fresh has claimed to have seen this thing once before.
6:42
No, he hasn't.
6:44
It's just something he made up.
6:46
But whatever the case, the thing that's really crazy about it, though,
6:50
that's probably throwing Martin off,
6:52
is that he's seeing right now is exactly what he envisioned in his mind's eye
6:56
when he was telling the story about this alleged scrum.
6:59
Really? He wasn't really envisioning much.
7:01
He was just making up words on the go.
7:03
But I'm sure in some loose way, it's probably what he saw.
7:06
Right, right. Whatever amount of detail popped into his head as he was speaking it,
7:10
that detail is absolutely mimicked on this creature that's moving towards you guys.
7:16
Let's get out of here before that bigfoot gets us.
7:21
He runs away.
7:23
Okay, Grieve, what are you doing?
7:25
Grieve is going to take a look at that.
7:27
My goodness, that is a beauty.
7:30
Wait, it might actually be. Is that the strongest?
7:33
I've got to get my net.
7:35
I've got to get a closer look at thing.
7:37
It's incredible. Look at that raw power.
7:40
Is your net back at the cabin?
7:42
Yeah.
7:43
Okay, sounds good. So do you start running off to the cabin?
7:45
Yeah.
7:46
Okay, and then Soapy Joe, are you just...
7:49
What do you do when you see these two guys just abandon you?
7:52
It's a very drastic park. He left us. He left us.
7:55
I think I'm going to... I mean, he's got to get closer.
7:59
He's got to get the views.
8:01
So he's going to get up a little closer to him and try and like...
8:05
Is he moving or is he staying?
8:07
Oh yeah, he's coming towards you guys.
8:09
Like towards the fire.
8:10
So yeah, he's going to try and get another angle on him.
8:12
He's going to try and get a...
8:14
You know, do his due diligence as a videographer.
8:18
So he's going to try and get some close-up shots.
8:20
Let me have you...
8:22
Or I'm going to have you make a...
8:24
It's like this is his moment.
8:26
This is like, this is going to go so far.
8:28
This is going to give me all the ad revenue.
8:30
It's going to get another like 200 million views.
8:32
That's like what's going through his head.
8:34
I'm going to have you do an act under pressure.
8:37
So you're going to roll your two dice and you're going to add your cool stat to it.
8:40
And then based on what you roll, we will find out your...
8:43
We got a six.
8:45
Six total?
8:46
Six total.
8:47
Oh, that's going to be a failure.
8:48
Hey.
8:49
You start to walk towards it, right?
8:52
And you've got your camera out and you're like,
8:54
"Whoa, what is this thing?" or whatever.
8:56
And then all of a sudden it's...
8:58
I mean, it looks at you the second that you step out from behind the bench that you were at.
9:02
And then it just wanders around and swatts at you.
9:05
Hits you with one of its giant clawed paws.
9:08
You take one harm from this.
9:11
So if you look on your character sheet, you'll see there's a section labeled harm.
9:14
You feel this huge claw scratch across your chest.
9:19
It actually slices through one of your camera straps.
9:24
You're able to catch...
9:25
I think you're able to catch the camera before it like falls to the ground.
9:28
But this thing is just attached to you.
9:30
What are you doing in response?
9:32
He's going to like fiddle and try and get his revolver and just,
9:35
"I cast guns."
9:37
Okay, well then we're going to follow that up with a kick some ass.
9:41
The whole plus toughness.
9:43
Oh my gosh, it's a negative one toughness.
9:45
I got a seven.
9:46
A seven, okay.
9:47
On a seven plus you and whatever you're fighting inflict harm on each other,
9:51
the amount of harm is based on the established dangers in the game.
9:55
That usually means you inflict the harm rating of your weapon.
9:58
Your enemy inflicts their attack harm rating on you.
10:01
Alright, so what does your 32 revolver do?
10:03
Two harm.
10:04
Two harm.
10:05
Alright, the shot rings out.
10:07
A bullet slams into what is now a charging scrungus dealing too harm to it,
10:13
but it ignores this bullet hitting it.
10:15
Like you can see that it went into it and there was like an explosion of goo or gut or whatever this thing is made of.
10:22
But it keeps heading towards you after taking that damage and slams into you,
10:26
knocking back, giving you another one harm.
10:30
And as you get thrown back, some of the essence that comes off of its body,
10:36
this gray, goopy, gross gunk is like stuck to you and starts to kind of drip off slowly.
10:42
Can I shoot him again?
10:44
How many bullets do I have?
10:45
Keep in mind that I think what is it, three harm is kind of the cutoff.
10:49
If you get more than the three arm, you're like a harm.
10:51
Oh, I'm like dying?
10:52
Yeah, you're like dying.
10:53
So just be aware of that.
10:55
Yeah, I didn't know that.
10:56
No, when you reach four or more, you become unstable, which is like bleeding out.
11:00
You've taken like a pretty severe wound.
11:02
Yeah, he's probably going to run away.
11:04
Okay.
11:05
Can you pick up his camera on the way?
11:06
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
11:07
Okay, so he picks up his camera and runs off and like he tries to just book it to a cabin
11:13
and then like he wants to kind of fill him from inside a cabin.
11:16
It's kind of give people an update.
11:18
Okay, so Greaves was headed to his cabin.
11:21
Which do you remember which one you were stationed at?
11:24
Nope.
11:25
Yes, Fig sounds correct.
11:26
So Fig cabin is actually not too far away.
11:29
Fig cabin is like just south of you guys.
11:31
So you guys just start bolting for Fig cabin following Martin Fresh and Greaves close behind him.
11:38
The three of you all hole up in the Fig cabin.
11:41
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who says we haven't locked the doors behind us?
11:44
Who's?
11:45
Why are you saying I'm an army?
11:46
I don't know.
11:47
Because he's the monster?
11:48
Maybe I just see the last people tailing.
11:49
Yeah, he's just following whoever.
11:50
Okay, he can follow us, but he's going to be male with a locked door until I say so.
11:53
Oh, yeah, the door is locked.
11:54
Oh, it's locked by both of us.
11:56
Because he waited so long.
11:57
Hurry up, shorts, get in here.
12:00
Sophie, Joe, you slam into the door and find that it's locked.
12:03
No, there's a scrungus.
12:07
There's a scrungus outside.
12:10
I know there's a scrungus outside.
12:13
That doesn't sound like a scrungus, shorts, are we opening?
12:18
If you were to spend so much time videography that you probably would have been safe.
12:23
Do you swear there's no scrungus out there?
12:27
There is a scrungus out here.
12:29
Did you hear that beautiful creature?
12:32
I heard a gunshot.
12:34
I'm going to unlock the door and go to like peek out.
12:39
S.E.P., sir, you just kick through and you jump in.
12:43
Okay, so now the door is wide open, you guys see the scrungus is coming towards you guys.
12:47
Quick shut the door.
12:48
Quick shut the door.
12:49
The scrungus is coming as I'm pointing out the door.
12:53
You slam the door shut and just as you do the scrungus slams into it and just goes.
12:59
Trying to get inside to get to you guys.
13:03
Quick, open one of the back windows.
13:05
What could you do?
13:07
You lured him right here.
13:09
Go get him, it's Shudder.
13:10
You showed him, you made him mad.
13:13
You know when I saw the scrungus last, I gave him a hot of ham and he went away and I'm all out of ham.
13:21
It's burying down on our door right now.
13:24
I'm all out of ham.
13:26
Do we have anything to just to barricade the door with?
13:30
Oh yeah, sure.
13:31
There's like beds and stuff in there.
13:32
You guys start barricading.
13:34
I know you just said, grieves, you just said go to the back window.
13:37
So you rush to the back window.
13:39
You start to pull that open and as you do, you notice the other cabins and buildings on this facility,
13:45
which all had like lights and stuff at the very least an exterior light that kind of just showed that, you know, this is where it's at.
13:52
Because otherwise you're on an island that's otherwise void of light aside from the moon and the stars when it gets dark out, right?
13:57
You see all the lights at these places.
14:01
Just go out.
14:04
Any electrical lights have suddenly stopped.
14:07
This is like in sync as an oh, somebody cut the power.
14:10
Yeah, so are the same.
14:11
Is our lights out now?
14:12
Yeah, the one that's on like the shed or whatever the oh yeah, if you had one inside.
14:15
We're in our cabin.
14:16
I wasn't sure if you turned the lights on in the cabin.
14:18
So it's on.
14:19
Okay, and now it's not.
14:20
Oh no, I'm scared of the door.
14:23
I gotta find my headlamp.
14:25
I've got an infrared camera.
14:27
I have a flashlight and I open up my fanny pack and I pull out my flashlight.
14:32
Okay, and I turn it on.
14:34
I'm assuming that the door is barricaded and the scrungus is still outside.
14:37
Yes.
14:38
Okay.
14:39
Why would you ever make an assumption like that?
14:41
Well, you did a great job barricading that door, Soapy Joe.
14:44
Thanks, old guy.
14:46
Whoa, you look like you took a number from that guy.
14:49
Are you alright?
14:50
Yeah, that's why I wanted him.
14:52
I've got a couple band-aids, so you think that would help?
14:55
It wouldn't not help.
14:56
I've got some Neosporin.
14:58
Oh, that's good for cuts and open wounds.
15:01
I think I've got a couple of those.
15:03
I'm gonna put my infrared camera and like film it outside.
15:06
Do you think now's the best time for recording a dangerous beast?
15:11
Well, as you peek outside the window, you notice that now that the light has gone off,
15:16
the scrungus has started to, it is not banging on your door anymore.
15:20
And you can see it with the infrared camera amidst the darkness starting to walk towards what looks like the mess hall.
15:26
Alright, so he's filming and he's like, "Okay, I was just attacked by the scrungus.
15:31
I had to shoot it, but it didn't work.
15:34
And I want to barricade inside this cabin, but he's going away."
15:38
Who are you talking to?
15:40
I'm talking to... I almost died for this.
15:43
Could you put your ego aside for one second to appreciate the beauty of that creature?
15:48
No, he was private.
15:49
What are you talking about?
15:50
It's half of mine to let you die just to let it live.
15:53
You can't even see that thing.
15:55
Not anymore.
15:56
Can you see it in that dude-ed gamer of yours?
16:00
Yes, because it's-
16:01
Where is it? Where is it? It's not banging on our door.
16:03
They go around back.
16:04
He opened the-shorts opened the window.
16:07
She quick shot the window shorts.
16:09
It's going towards the mess hall.
16:11
Oh, it wants ham.
16:12
Looks like ham.
16:13
It's going to take our ham.
16:15
It can smell it. I know it.
16:17
Well, the mess hall looks like it'd be about a hundred yards away or something.
16:20
So we can try and sneak up on it, right?
16:22
Here's the mess hall and here's where we're at.
16:26
How do you assume that's a hundred yards? You have no key.
16:28
I don't know.
16:29
Just-
16:30
He's heading to the mess hall.
16:31
He's heading to the mess hall.
16:32
And you want to follow it?
16:33
Why not?
16:34
Um, kiss that ham goodbye.
16:37
I know Shorts wants to check it out, so it's a two to one vote.
16:40
Two to one?
16:41
I would like to get a better gander at that thing.
16:44
I'm not going?
16:45
Crikey, it's beautiful.
16:46
Then who's going to give him ham?
16:48
Himself.
16:49
Clearly, he's going there to serve himself.
16:52
But fave for one.
16:54
Hmm.
16:55
Maybe this is an endangered creature.
16:57
It needs to be rehabilitated.
16:59
I need to be rehabilitated.
17:01
You need to let your ego go for a second.
17:04
This is like a moment in history.
17:06
No one's going to believe us unless we have footage.
17:09
With that being said, you suddenly hear a shout from over the mess hall.
17:14
And I'm assuming you probably have a zoom on this camera.
17:17
You zoom in and you see that Justin is on.
17:22
So the pool is located right next to the mess hall.
17:25
So you obviously people can go swimming in sort of the sections of water that are surrounding the island.
17:32
But there is a literal pool that is it, which some of you were cleaning me.
17:38
I cleaned that pool over by that pool.
17:40
There are two sort of like TP style cabins, these very triangular cabins or conical even.
17:47
And you see that Justin has managed to get himself stuck up on the roof of one of these little shower houses.
17:54
And the scrungus has seen him and is trying to climb up it.
17:59
Now, thankfully the scrungus is having a little bit of issue getting up that angle.
18:02
But you also notice that Justin is having a hard time holding on to such an angle.
18:07
And he is freaking out.
18:09
So can we hear that yelling?
18:11
Yes.
18:12
Well, what do you see?
18:13
What's making a wet yelling?
18:15
Is he really happy to fight a ham?
18:17
No, I think that kid with the totems getting chased.
18:20
You can see that far?
18:22
Yeah, that's a really good guess.
18:24
That's exactly what's happening.
18:26
Is that Australian outback knowledge, I guess.
18:29
I guess that's what three weeks in the outback does for the eyes, wonders.
18:34
Yeah.
18:35
Screw eating carrots, I'm going to Australia.
18:38
Foster.
18:39
Yeah, it's a fondness of beer.
18:41
He's been drinking beer?
18:42
I guess.
18:43
Where'd you get that?
18:44
We were told it was a drink.
18:46
What do they put in that beer?
18:48
You should get a sponsorship with them.
18:50
Every moment that you guys are chatting about beer, Justin is slipping a little bit at a time.
18:56
We should probably, we need to go save this guy.
18:58
I don't want to.
19:00
I'll grab my net.
19:01
Yeah, he's got his net.
19:02
I'll grab my net.
19:03
He looks around and he spots his set of golf clubs that he's been golfing every night to finish out the day.
19:10
On the free golf course.
19:11
That's right.
19:12
Martin's been ending his day every day after he finishes his jobs.
19:15
He goes to the golf course.
19:16
Anyways, he, he grabs, I'm trying to think what would be the best club for fighting something with.
19:22
I'm thinking an iron.
19:24
That's the obvious choice, right?
19:26
I'm guessing a pitching wedge.
19:28
A wedge, yeah.
19:29
A pitching wedge.
19:30
It's got sharp edge.
19:31
Yeah, this one thing has got the sharpest edge.
19:33
Yeah, pitching wedge.
19:34
He grabs his pitching wedge and he just take the thing off.
19:37
It's a sharp and it's like a lance.
19:38
I was also going to say a putter is not a bad one either because it's like, if you've got an old fashioned putter, they're just literally like L's.
19:45
That's like a giant hammer basically.
19:47
Yeah.
19:48
He grabs both.
19:49
Just take your whole set of golf clubs.
19:51
I like this guy's thinking.
19:53
Then you've got projectiles.
19:54
Yeah, he's the golf ball.
19:55
Yeah, he's slinging over his golf set on his back and he starts running.
19:59
It's going to be like Duff Kiligan from Kim Bustable.
20:01
Like put the T's between your fingers and use that as like a point.
20:04
Okay, he's not going to do any of that.
20:06
So Martin Fresh, you have your whole thing of golf clubs.
20:09
Sobie Joe has his cameras and his 32 revolver apparently.
20:13
How many bullets do I still have in this?
20:15
I've only fired one.
20:16
A revolver is six.
20:18
A revolver is six out of five left.
20:21
Did you have a box in your cabin like backups?
20:25
Because we're not in your cabin.
20:27
Do I have a box in our extra bullets in my bag?
20:29
I don't think so.
20:30
All right.
20:31
So we'll just say I have five bullets left.
20:32
Yeah.
20:33
I didn't exactly plan to fight a whatever.
20:36
A scrungus?
20:37
I didn't exactly plan on fighting a scrungus while we were here.
20:40
A scrungus to sneak up on you.
20:41
Greaves over here has his a net gun and also I think a backup knife.
20:46
Yeah, just a little pasta knife too.
20:48
So with that, you guys, do you guys exit through the window?
20:52
No.
20:53
Oh, you clear the stuff in front of the door and then head out that way?
20:56
The barricade?
20:57
Well, how are we getting out of here?
20:58
Through the window or through the door?
21:00
Why did you open the window?
21:02
In case it came in the front?
21:04
I thought you were going to let it in the front door so you could take another selfie with it.
21:08
Guys, guys, guys, people are in danger.
21:11
Let's work.
21:12
Let's work together.
21:13
Teamwork makes the dream work as they say.
21:16
You didn't do it.
21:17
Okay.
21:18
I'm the positive encouragement here.
21:20
Are you guys going out through the door or the window?
21:22
Yeah, through the door.
21:23
Through the door.
21:24
You clear the debris and the stuff that you've said in front of the door and you easily just
21:28
walk right out the front of the door and start rushing towards the pool area.
21:32
I will add that as we're running, everyone just hears this loud.
21:38
I'm not too sure on the quietest type of these golf clubs.
21:42
I maybe should have just brought my pigeon wedge.
21:44
But now you got nine clubs.
21:46
But I'm committed now.
21:48
Actually, it's a set of 13.
21:50
Thank you.
21:51
Okay.
21:52
It's a full big set.
21:53
These guys like the woods.
21:54
Two of those things are pack of wallop.
21:55
Yep.
21:56
So guys, out of the big cabin, you guys passed by the campfire once again, passed by the
22:03
supply shack and end up right over by the pool and the showers.
22:08
Question.
22:09
Yes.
22:10
Did he said short said short for the rest of this thing.
22:17
Okay.
22:18
Justin started calling him that day one and it just that's his style.
22:21
He said Justin still has the totem thing.
22:23
Is that true?
22:24
Sure.
22:25
The question was if Justin didn't have it, did he leave it at this campsite?
22:29
Well, since I am more than happy to accept the idea that he has it based on the fact
22:33
that Greaves said I see the totem.
22:36
All right, we keep going.
22:38
In fact, as you get closer to the showers, we're in Schmore's.
22:43
Can I grab marshmallows?
22:45
Sure.
22:46
Food.
22:47
It's the strongest.
22:48
I know that's how to beat it is food.
22:50
So I'm going to grab.
22:51
I'm going to say that I'm going, hey guys, I'm grabbing the marshmallows.
22:54
Food.
22:55
Maybe, maybe if we can't find some ham, maybe a schmarr might lure it off.
22:59
Fair enough.
23:00
I'll grab whatever food I can find.
23:02
He rubs his stomach because I know a good schmarr would lure me off.
23:06
Martin Fresh, you have a pack of marshmallows.
23:09
Greaves, you grab a pack or most of the pack of hot dogs.
23:13
Oh, ham.
23:14
Yeah.
23:15
Ham and Jason.
23:16
As you guys approach the shower houses, one of which is the one that Justin is trapped
23:22
atop of.
23:23
You actually see him trying to swing the totem at this monster to keep it at bay, but he's
23:29
got to keep one arm holding on to the very top of this triangular shaped building.
23:34
And he goes, guys, guys, oh my gosh, I'm so glad you're here.
23:37
Please get this thing away from me.
23:39
Hang on, Justin.
23:40
We're coming.
23:41
I'm hanging on as best I can do something.
23:44
Yeah.
23:45
Do something short.
23:46
Well, I'm my, I got a gun.
23:49
I'm pull out my gun.
23:51
How, how far away are we from this thing as close as you want to get?
23:55
You think that's a good idea to shoot your gun as I see him raises gun.
24:00
Justin's in the background.
24:01
Well, I'll get off to the side.
24:03
So like if I shoot straight, I can't, I can't miss and hit Justin.
24:07
There's no shot as his shooting.
24:10
Grieve is trying to push the shot away.
24:12
He's like, no, don't hit it.
24:14
So you're running around to get a better spot and Greaves is now chasing you going, don't
24:19
shoot.
24:20
Interesting situation where you're going to have, you're going to have a soapy Joe is
24:25
going to be rolling kick some ass and then you're going to have Greaves rolling a protect
24:30
somebody or protect someone, which ironically is the monster.
24:34
So you're rolling with tough.
24:35
I got a seven.
24:36
A seven.
24:37
Okay.
24:38
That's a mixed success.
24:39
Three.
24:40
Three.
24:41
Okay.
24:42
So Greaves, you just don't react fast enough.
24:44
You, you completely miss the idea of stopping the shot from going through.
24:49
You turn around and you're like, no, as he's already taking the shot.
24:54
Slow-mo dive.
24:55
That's just completely failed.
24:56
You fall like five feet short seeing that he has failed to stop that line of thinking
25:01
he is going to, what is one of the stats on this net gun?
25:05
Can I just shoot my net at it?
25:07
Yeah, I think it's, it's more conceptual.
25:09
Yeah.
25:10
With that being said, a soapy Joe does manage to take a shot on the monster.
25:15
What are you going to do once the guns out of bullets?
25:18
I don't know.
25:19
Well, hopefully we don't get to that clay.
25:21
Once again, the bullet embeds itself in this monster, which turns around and starts to
25:26
move, just jolts towards you, slams into you.
25:29
Once again, I'm sending you flying backwards, taking one more harm.
25:32
That's tough.
25:33
Yeah.
25:34
I inflict two on him.
25:35
You did inflict two on him.
25:36
That's true.
25:37
What, so what's, what's, what's short's doing?
25:39
Yeah.
25:40
What is short's doing?
25:41
He is now lying into, I've assumed it's mauling him at the moment.
25:44
So he's going to attempt to, uh, shoot it with a net and capture them both.
25:48
Okay.
25:49
See, you're getting close.
25:51
That's both in minutes.
25:53
Okay.
25:54
Does your net gun have any information on it?
25:56
Oh, it did.
25:57
It did?
25:58
Okay.
25:59
Yes.
26:00
It says zero harm, close area, heavy, slow and tangle.
26:04
Okay.
26:05
So it's going to entangle.
26:06
Okay.
26:07
So I'm assuming you roll, kick some ass as well.
26:08
Oh, seven.
26:09
Okay.
26:10
So you fire, uh, this net.
26:12
Actually, I think, uh, what happens is, is that the strongest slams into you, soapy Joe,
26:17
sending him flying, turns around to see the other two of you, Martin fresh and of course,
26:21
yourself, creeps and it turns and it starts to rush towards you.
26:24
Now you've had animals, wild animals rushed towards you as well in the past, right?
26:30
Maybe you were out, um, on the Serengeti in a lion came rushing towards you, but you
26:36
were able to, uh, keep your nerve, which is kind of a big thing with like your, your
26:41
style and stuff like that.
26:42
So in this moment, you are also keeping your nerve and you fire this net gun, which flies
26:48
for is wrapping itself around this, the strange unknown creature.
26:53
It slams to the ground having tripped on the thing, but it's one of those classic situations
26:58
in the movie where something is like broken and it's sliding towards the person.
27:02
But unfortunately in your case, it does reach you ever so slightly and bumps into you.
27:07
I'm causing you to take one harm.
27:09
That must have been a very aggressive bump.
27:11
It was an aggressive bump.
27:13
Yeah.
27:14
Um, you pick yourself up off the ground and you have successfully netted this creature
27:18
while this is happening.
27:20
Um, Martin has set down his golf clubs because he's there and he pulls out his driver and
27:27
he takes out, uh, grabs a golf ball and a tee and he sets it down.
27:32
And so while this is sliding forward, he's setting up and then he positions himself.
27:36
He does a little shake with his butt.
27:38
Yep. And then he sees it's lined up right there in front of him and he goes, Oh, he
27:44
smacks it as hard as he can.
27:47
All right, dude, do one more kick some ass.
27:49
Oh, no, I swear if he hits me on this.
27:52
Okay.
27:53
Um, so it's a six, a six.
27:55
Okay. Well, here's what happens because the creature is currently contained.
27:58
I'm not going to have you take harm on this one.
28:00
Oh yeah, you can add bonuses.
28:02
That is a thing in this game.
28:03
You can give someone plus one help.
28:06
Yeah, no, yeah, it's basically like help, but you give them plus one on their next forward
28:10
is what's called in their next action.
28:12
Right. So I'm just saying, do I have plus one forward because it's entangled?
28:16
Here's what I'll say.
28:17
It, you don't have plus one forward on it for doing it, but it's not going to deal you
28:21
damage.
28:22
That's kind of your bonus because this thing is entangled.
28:24
It's not going to be able to lash out at you, um, which normally would happen if you, if
28:28
you had a failure.
28:29
Okay.
28:30
Even with the mixed success, typically you would still take damage from it.
28:33
Um, so I'm going to forego that, but you also don't manage to hit it.
28:38
Now with that being said, Justin quickly slides down the roof of this shower house and joins
28:44
you guys and says, guys, I don't know how long that's going to hold that thing, but
28:49
I found out some information that I think is going to be beneficial.
28:51
Uh, can we get out of here?
28:54
And as he's saying this, you see the scrungus and its claws are peeking out through the
28:58
various holes in this, in this net and you can see it as it starts to almost pluck these
29:04
strings and it's the net, um, severing them.
29:07
So it's slowly starting to break out.
29:10
You have to tell me twice and I slam my golf club back into the bag and I sling it on my
29:17
shoulders.
29:18
Okay.
29:19
Can I like shoot it one more time?
29:20
If you want to, she's an angry Sheila.
29:23
He's like, he's, so he's like, I imagine so like Joe's just like, he's laying there on
29:27
his back and he's like peels himself up off the ground.
29:31
His guns right next to him.
29:32
He sees the thing in the, he sees the scrungus in the, in the net.
29:36
So he's like, he's kind of flumps over and it just tries to take one last shot before
29:41
like getting up and running.
29:43
Okay.
29:44
Seven, seven.
29:46
You shoot it and it takes another two harm.
29:49
The bullet wedges inside.
29:51
Uh, but as you do this, it angers the monster monster.
29:55
He's going to pull into this net.
30:00
It's going to release itself here shortly.
30:02
Yeah.
30:03
He's, he's up and out of there.
30:04
He's, he's running away.
30:05
All right.
30:06
It sounds good.
30:07
You got one last shot in, but it's now escaping.
30:08
You guys, uh, follow Justin.
30:10
He rushes into the open doors of the mess hall and like kind of waves his arm to get you
30:15
guys to go inside.
30:16
Come on.
30:17
Come on.
30:18
Come on.
30:19
Come on.
30:20
It's get back up.
30:21
Shorts, throw some ham into the pool.
30:22
Yeah.
30:23
Where are my hot dogs?
30:24
Throw a couple of hot dogs behind me.
30:26
Throw a couple of hot dogs.
30:27
The pool, the pool.
30:28
He throws them at the pool.
30:30
Okay.
30:31
So you don't have to roll for it.
30:32
It's all good.
30:33
Um, you, you hurl these hot dogs into the pool and you see the scrungus for a moment
30:37
goes and it follows it with its eyes, giving you guys just enough time to get inside the
30:43
mess hall.
30:44
We hear it audibly say, "my arm."
30:48
Possibly.
30:49
You're not sure.
30:50
It gives a growl and you're not really quite sure what it says per se, but uh, you definitely
30:54
managed to get inside and Justin pulls the door behind and you see him like put like a
30:59
bar or something or maybe it's just a room.
31:02
Barricade, barricade.
31:03
And I look directly at a soapy Joe who barricaded the last door.
31:12
I hate you as he just starts to barricade.
31:16
You're just looking at her.
31:17
You're doing a great job.
31:20
I'm peeing.
31:21
I smell s'mores in your future.
31:24
If you want, I can videotape you moving this furniture.
31:27
I hate you.
31:29
All right.
31:30
So soapy Joe, you're going to be barricading the door.
31:33
The other two you, or I guess kind of all of you right there are standing there and Justin
31:37
says, "guys, I think I found something that might give us some answers to this whole,
31:41
this thing."
31:42
And he holds up the totem.
31:43
He says, "come with me.
31:44
Come with me.
31:45
It's in the museum thing."
31:46
And he starts to lead you guys towards the museum.
31:48
I said down in my golf clubs.
31:50
And I mean, you can bring him with you on to.
31:53
No, no, okay.
31:54
He leads you guys over to the museum wing and he starts to point out there's some letters
32:00
and they're in like that classic old English and they're in cursive and such like that.
32:06
And he says, "I wasn't able to get all the words out of this because if I'm being honest,
32:11
I don't really read old English."
32:13
Oh, I know old English.
32:14
Oh, see, I knew you would.
32:16
I knew you would.
32:17
And so I figured that you'd be able to sort of interpret it.
32:20
But I noticed a couple of things in here.
32:22
Basically there was this guy.
32:24
His name was Martin Fresh.
32:25
You're reading this.
32:26
You're able to kind of make this stuff out.
32:27
William Shetner lived in Davenport, Iowa.
32:33
You read this series of letters that are from an individual named Richard Ancock.
32:40
And he was from England and he came across on the first boats and landed on Roanoke Island
32:46
but it mentions how originally there was, they stopped on the mainland and they met
32:53
with a native tribe that was there.
32:55
And during their sort of restocking or resupplying on this island, there was a silver cup from
33:02
the captain that went missing.
33:05
And the captain, kind of a questionable dude, was easily tempered and demanded to know who
33:10
it was that took the silver cup.
33:12
And nobody volunteered.
33:13
So he assumed it must have been somebody from the native tribe.
33:17
And so in response, they burned the village and killed everybody there.
33:22
Secretly it was Richard that had taken the silver cup and let the natives take the fall
33:26
for it.
33:27
He stowed it away.
33:29
And you can see in these letters, they're letters that he's sending to his wife back
33:33
in England, encouraging her to come over to the new world where he is going to essentially
33:39
make sure that they are one of the richest families that will be starting a life here
33:43
in this new world.
33:45
The next letters talk about how the voyage unfortunately used up a lot of their supplies
33:52
and left them a little bit destitute when it came to the necessities, food and stuff
33:57
like that.
33:58
So the captain disappeared off to England and shortly thereafter, the Sir Francis Drake
34:04
stopped by the island.
34:06
Now Sir Francis Drake did not have any supplies to share with them.
34:09
So instead he offered to take whoever wanted to go back to England since they didn't have
34:15
supplies to live off of here.
34:17
All but 15 men went on that journey, went back to England, leaving the 15 men behind
34:22
to live in this colony, one of them being Richard Amcock.
34:27
Now Richard in an attempt to sway the natives to give them the supplies that they need stole
34:34
a totem from one of their holy places.
34:44
October 10th, 1586.
34:47
Elizabeth, my love.
34:50
Or perhaps I should say Elizabeth, witness to madness.
34:56
I did it.
34:57
I took the penis to that nearby island, the one they called Croatoan.
35:03
The natives there, their ways are even stranger.
35:07
They have erected small shrines adorned with carvings and things.
35:12
It was from one of those crude structures that I took it.
35:17
A totem, carved from dark wood, it pulsed with a faint energy.
35:25
A hum you could almost feel against your palm.
35:27
I confessed my intentions were purely mercenary.
35:31
I thought it might be worth something, a curiosity to trade, but now I am not so sure.
35:39
As I fled their village, one of them saw me.
35:41
He gave chase, his cries guttural, and enraged.
35:44
I was cornered Elizabeth, with water at my back and his spear raised.
35:49
In desperation I pointed into the trees and shouted the first thing that came to my mind,
35:54
"Look!
35:55
A bear!"
35:56
And then there was a bear.
36:00
A massive, snarling beast that seemed to materialize from thin air.
36:07
It attacked the natives, tearing into him with savage ferocity.
36:11
I swear, Elizabeth, there was no bear there moments before.
36:17
I scrambled back to the boat, my heart hammering and didn't look back.
36:23
A few nights later, around the meagre fire we keep burning, I showed the others my prize.
36:28
They were superstitious fools muttering about curses in dark magic.
36:33
I scoffed, of course, to ease their fears and perhaps my own unease.
36:39
We began to tell stories, tales of the old country, of things that go bump in the night.
36:45
I recounted my favorite, the chilling legend of Edmund, the headless knight, forever seeking
36:52
his lost head or a replacement.
36:56
This morning we found Bartholomew, not far from his cabin, his body.
37:01
Elizabeth, his head was gone.
37:05
Cleanly severed, there was so little blood.
37:10
The others are whispering, their faces pale with terror, but I think I know.
37:17
That totem.
37:19
It hums still, Elizabeth, a dark vibration against my skin.
37:23
I told a story of a headless knight and now could it be?
37:29
Could this croof carving possess such a terrible power?
37:34
To bring the very horrors we speak of into being, the thought is monstrous, unbelievable
37:40
and yet the bear Bartholomew.
37:45
I feel a terrifying understanding dawning within me.
37:50
This is not mere wood and bone.
37:53
This is something else, something powerful, something dark.
37:59
You must understand this, Elizabeth.
38:03
I must learn how to control it.
38:07
Imagine the possibilities.
38:10
The power to shape reality with a whispered tale, but the fear, chilling, creeping fear
38:18
that I have unleashed something that I cannot contain it, it claws at my throat.
38:26
Right to me, Elizabeth, tell me I am mad.
38:30
Tell me that this is just a nightmare.
38:35
Tell me this is just a nightmare.
38:38
Yours haunted and afraid.
38:43
Richard.
38:55
So basically, there's gotta be something here, right?
38:59
This isn't just a normal totem, this is some kind of magic stuff.
39:02
When did you find this out, Justin?
39:06
What?
39:07
All this stuff in these letters?
39:09
It's just in these letters.
39:11
They've been here the whole time.
39:13
So you didn't look at these letters when you stole this totem earlier?
39:18
No, I didn't look at them until just now.
39:21
So I ran straight here and then I was coming to tell you guys and that's how I got stuck
39:25
up on the roof.
39:26
Can I see the totem?
39:27
Oh yeah, I don't want this thing and he hands you the totem.
39:30
Oh sick.
39:31
Yeah.
39:32
You keep that.
39:33
In fact, if you want to take that thing anywhere else.
39:34
I wish no more scrungus.
39:36
Nothing happens.
39:37
Hey, he's gone.
39:40
What if we break the totem?
39:42
Oh, I like that idea.
39:44
Let's break the totem.
39:45
Let's have this guy shoot at it.
39:47
I only got three bullets.
39:50
Are you sure that's a good idea?
39:51
I don't think he could hit anything with that.
39:53
What if you have to use the totem to get rid of the monsters or something?
39:56
But what if we have to get rid of the totem to get rid of the monster?
39:59
That's a good point too.
40:00
Yeah, what if breaking it is the solution?
40:02
I mean, you guys see, you could try.
40:03
I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
40:05
Yeah.
40:06
Another scrungus?
40:07
That is pretty bad, actually.
40:08
That sounds terrifying.
40:10
That would be really bad.
40:12
That is the worst that could happen.
40:13
We're going to run off so much ham.
40:14
Unless there's a scarier scrungus, yeah, that would 100% be the worst thing that could
40:18
happen.
40:19
Oh, he did wish for big flits and he wished for big L.
40:23
Maybe it's, oh crap.
40:25
What?
40:26
Okay, we'll deal with that later.
40:27
Hopefully not.
40:28
Hopefully not.
40:29
But whatever the case, I think we should refrain.
40:32
Anyone who's holding the totem, let's refrain from using the word wish just in case.
40:37
Got it.
40:38
I wish for a million dollars.
40:41
That's certainly not the worst thing that could happen.
40:43
I wish for a better drive.
40:45
Drive?
40:46
In my golf game.
40:47
Oh, it's a golf game.
40:48
Yeah, I don't know about that.
40:50
They were.
40:51
I'll let them out in the other room.
40:53
Well, I wish to improve my chipping game.
40:57
Chipping game.
40:58
Guys, I think I'll like this thing.
41:01
Any other wishes?
41:03
Longer shorts?
41:06
He looks over and his shorts do not extend and it kind of makes you question if this
41:12
is quite how this works.
41:13
I say we destroy it.
41:15
I'm down to the next.
41:18
Let me get this on video.
41:19
There might be an axe over in the supply.
41:21
I mess hall.
41:22
Maybe there's a jack.
41:23
Cleaver.
41:24
So I get, I get my camera out and I'm just filming this whole thing.
41:27
Don't you have a giant knife?
41:29
No, it's like a pocket knife.
41:31
Oh, it is a survival knife.
41:33
One harm hand.
41:34
I got a good focus on it.
41:36
Let's destroy it.
41:37
We go to the meat, the kitchen.
41:38
Oh, yeah, there's some cleavers in there.
41:41
Sick.
41:42
Shorts, you can do it.
41:43
Yeah, I'm gonna grab a meat cleaver.
41:45
Okay.
41:46
And I'm gonna hack on it.
41:48
Do a.
41:49
Shoot, is this like an act under pressure?
41:52
Yeah, let's do act under pressure.
41:54
While this is happening, Martin sticks his face like directly in the camera and goes,
41:59
"This episode is brought to you by fresh detergent."
42:04
You're doing a plug?
42:06
Yeah.
42:07
For your family's detergent company.
42:09
My family has a detergent line.
42:12
Fresh is the best.
42:13
Okay.
42:14
Six.
42:15
Six.
42:16
You take this cleaver and you come slamming down with it, trying to put all your force
42:20
into this so you can chop it and hopefully cut this magic out of existence.
42:26
As you do, as soon as the blade touches the wood, there is a small explosion of light.
42:32
That shoots the now-dented, horribly dented cleaver backwards, flying out of your hand
42:40
and across the mess hall.
42:41
Whoa, that was like the scene from Lord of the Rings.
42:44
Yes, that's a good example.
42:45
Oh my gosh, what was that?
42:47
Lord of the Rings.
42:48
Well, hit it again.
42:49
Don't have my cleaver, it's over there.
42:52
It's in the wall.
42:53
Guys, that might have been the only cleaver in this whole kitchen.
42:55
I did not.
42:56
I doubt that.
42:57
I don't think they're equipped to like do that kind of cooking.
43:00
I think it was a safety one.
43:02
Crushed it, burned it.
43:04
Oh, burned it.
43:05
Burned it.
43:06
Burning works with wood.
43:07
Yeah, start the gas stove on fire.
43:10
What should I preheat to?
43:11
Their gas stove?
43:12
500.
43:13
Yeah, it's a gas stove.
43:15
I think it runs on propane.
43:16
Oh, sorry.
43:17
I think it runs on propane.
43:19
What was that?
43:20
Propane, propane.
43:21
Oh, okay.
43:22
Yeah, turn it up.
43:25
He flicks the dial and pushes it in.
43:29
You hear that?
43:31
Joe's just like setting up right next to the thing for a good shot.
43:34
I'm going to look for tongs to hold the totem.
43:37
You don't have to roll anything.
43:38
You're just holding it over a fire with tongs.
43:39
Yeah, you hold it over and you notice that the fires just do.
43:43
It's almost like they go around the totem.
43:46
Is there cool red writing?
43:48
No, there's not any cool red writing that glows out of it.
43:51
No.
43:52
Dang, could have gone two for two.
43:53
Now, what I really need, that's a good point.
43:55
If you're reading this, you're too close.
44:00
All of a sudden, you hear a sound come out of Justin's butt.
44:05
Out of his what?
44:06
His butt.
44:07
Is this for real?
44:08
Who is that?
44:09
Justin's.
44:10
Oh, zoom the camera over to Justin.
44:12
So he's farting.
44:13
No, you hear, he's a focus of camera.
44:16
He's like, oh my gosh, I'm so embarrassed.
44:17
No, it's a, it is the sound of like a walkie-talkie going off.
44:22
And you hear what sounds like.
44:23
That's in his pocket.
44:24
I know, I just thought it was really funny.
44:27
You hear the voice of Braden on the other side.
44:30
Hey, Justin, are you there?
44:33
Justin, do you copy?
44:35
Are you still alive or did the scrungest get you?
44:38
And he picks up the walkie-talkie and says, no, no, no, no, I'm here.
44:41
I'm here.
44:42
What's up, Braden?
44:43
Dude, I'm in the supply shed and there are like, there's like weapons in here.
44:48
Like there's like bows and arrows and BB guns and stuff.
44:51
But the problem is, is behind the electrical door.
44:54
And that's not gonna open until we get the electricity back on.
44:57
I'm pretty darn sure there's a generator that's kept in a shack in the woods.
45:02
Are you down to help?
45:05
I mean, I'm really not interested in going into the woods, but yeah, but like we need
45:10
weapons to fight these monsters or whatever.
45:12
So like, are you with anybody else?
45:15
Anybody else make it?
45:17
Yeah, I'm here with the old guys and the dude with the camera.
45:23
What do you mean old guy?
45:24
I'm 27.
45:25
Oh, sorry.
45:26
That's not the most pressing issue right now.
45:28
I'm with Shorts, the history teacher and the guy with the cameras.
45:34
Soaps.
45:35
Oh, yes.
45:36
Soaps, soaps, Joe.
45:37
Soap, Joe.
45:38
Soaps, Joseph.
45:39
What's soaps, Joseph?
45:41
That's my Christian name.
45:43
We figured it out.
45:45
Well, I'm gonna need all the help I can get.
45:49
So if you guys can meet me down here at the supply shed, I think if we all go into the
45:53
woods, we might, I don't know what we're gonna need, but I've got canisters of gas in here.
45:57
Maybe we just have to refill the generator, but I'm gonna need some help carrying stuff.
46:01
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
46:02
What kind of lock is it?
46:04
It's an electrical lock and it didn't disable when it's not like in the movies.
46:09
Like it was locked and so now it's just locked.
46:11
It's like a metal, it's a gate type lock thing.
46:15
Anyway, I can't get behind there.
46:17
Plus, I mean, let's be honest, Mr. Really's gonna be pissed if I break it.
46:21
I reach for the my walkie-talkie.
46:24
Your walkie-talkie?
46:25
No, reach for the walkie-talkie.
46:26
Okay.
46:27
Yep, yep, yep.
46:28
Hi, this is Martin Fresh.
46:30
I'm really scared.
46:31
I handed back to, I handed back to some of you.
46:35
I think we all are.
46:36
So I can't suit it, can I?
46:39
Suiting things is really my solution to everything, but I could hit it with a golf club.
46:43
I don't know if it's gonna work.
46:44
How about this?
46:46
We leave.
46:47
Yeah.
46:48
If you guys want to come over to the supply shed, I think that'd be great.
46:51
No, there's no way for us to get in.
46:53
How do we get in?
46:54
Oh, I'm at the door.
46:55
I was to let you in.
46:57
Oh.
46:58
Just sneak past the scrungus.
47:00
Where is that scrungus?
47:01
Where do you be?
47:02
I got my camera.
47:03
I'll look outside the window.
47:05
Yeah, you losing your splash around at a little pool party, some ham.
47:09
You look outside with your infrared camera.
47:11
You do not see the scrungus anywhere.
47:14
Looks like the coams are clean.
47:15
Do you have any more hot dogs left?
47:16
No, I assumed you threw the whole pack.
47:18
I did?
47:19
I mean, here's what I could say, though.
47:20
You're in the mess hall.
47:21
I mean, we can grab more ham.
47:22
Yeah, looking for some food.
47:24
Okay.
47:25
Yeah, there's definitely plenty of food items in here.
47:26
Is there any?
47:27
Are there any to heal the harm I have been inflicted?
47:30
No, this isn't like a video game.
47:33
It's not like Minecraft where you can just eat food and heal.
47:37
I will say there is food supplies.
47:40
There's various kitchen supplies, obviously, pots, pans, so on and so forth.
47:44
Is there like a first aid kit box?
47:47
No.
47:48
You do know that there would be in the recovery cabin, which is not far away.
47:54
Actually, ironically, the recovery cabin is semi-between you guys and the supply shed.
48:00
Look at that.
48:01
Look at that.
48:02
Grieve is going to check the spice cabinet for a bottle of pepper or a jar of pepper.
48:07
Oh yeah, definitely.
48:08
And he will grab as many as he can.
48:11
There's like one big, big one.
48:13
He will grab it.
48:14
It's the Costco giant pepper tub.
48:18
He grabbed it.
48:19
Yeah.
48:20
Okay.
48:21
Any holiday hams?
48:22
No.
48:23
This is a summer camp.
48:24
It'd be more grilling stuff.
48:25
Burgers?
48:26
Raw hamburger meat.
48:28
Yeah, raw hamburger meat.
48:30
Okay.
48:31
Okay.
48:32
So with that being said, you guys grab that stuff and then you follow in after Sobie Joe,
48:34
who's rushing to the recovery cabin, which is just south of you guys, pass the pool.
48:40
As you pass by the pool, you do not see the scrungus anymore.
48:43
The scrungus has disappeared somewhere else on the island, but you do see the fragments
48:48
leftover of the net that you had captured it in, meaning that it definitely managed
48:52
to escape.
48:53
But where it went, it's unsure.
48:54
How many nets do I have?
48:56
That is a good question.
48:58
I'm going to say you have a two left.
49:00
So you have three to start with.
49:01
It sounds like a good number.
49:02
There might be an opportunity to get more.
49:04
Ooh.
49:05
But with that being said, you guys make it to the recovery cabin.
49:09
And while you are there, you go inside.
49:12
There's a variety of different, you know, those little beds, like hospitals type, type
49:15
beds or whatever the ones with the wheels on them.
49:18
It's I mean, it's basically exactly what you'd think of for a summer camp nurses station.
49:22
Right.
49:23
It's not a lot that's in there per se, especially because there's no nurse there that brought
49:27
like a stock of various stuff.
49:29
But you do find, you know, some medical supplies, some medicine blankets and pillows.
49:33
There's even a small like cabinet with some medical reference books.
49:36
And you even see a handful of like crutches and slings and things like that.
49:40
Is the fridge out?
49:41
Yes.
49:42
Oh, no.
49:43
The bed?
49:44
The anti-venom.
49:45
The insulin.
49:46
The insulin.
49:47
The insulin.
49:48
The insulin.
49:49
Copy pens.
49:50
No.
49:51
What if we get stung by a bee?
49:54
Skyler would die.
49:56
I'm so sorry, soaps, Joe.
49:58
You're going to die.
49:59
I didn't establish I was diabetic in this.
50:05
With that being said, I will say that you do find a handful of gauze and other medical
50:11
supplies and I will say that you heal too hard.
50:15
Wow.
50:16
I can shoot them again.
50:17
Both of them?
50:18
Both of what?
50:19
They're both injured.
50:20
Oh yeah, that's right.
50:21
Well, yeah, you only had one.
50:22
So yeah, you, uh, uh, Greaves also heals one.
50:25
A bandaid, but Dora the Explorer on it.
50:27
So I heal one.
50:28
Slap it all in one.
50:29
And he heals one or I heal two.
50:31
And he heals.
50:32
You heal two.
50:33
We give you all the good stuff.
50:34
And then can I give his boo boo a big kiss and as a heal next to one?
50:39
Do you give him a big smooch?
50:40
Uh, yeah, absolutely.
50:41
Yeah.
50:42
Ah, kissing the homies relieves all harm.
50:46
No, you ended up with mono, the kissing disease.
50:49
Take three harm.
50:50
Okay, so you guys are feeling a lot better and you look out and you can see the supply
50:57
shack and with your infrared camera, you can see Braden is like nervously peeking out the
51:03
cabin trying to see you guys amidst the darkness.
51:06
Can I see the scrungus?
51:08
You do not see that you continue to not see the scrungus anywhere.
51:11
We got to run.
51:12
Ready?
51:13
Three, two, one.
51:14
Charge.
51:15
Shout that as you charge.
51:18
Just to clarify here.
51:21
That seemed like the one rule.
51:22
Question.
51:23
Did we take the, did the shorts bring the totem with him or did he just leave it in the
51:28
open?
51:29
I'm assuming you kept it.
51:30
I probably kept it.
51:31
Yeah.
51:32
I thought, all right, so suds gang.
51:33
So got attacked.
51:34
Okay, let's go.
51:35
Yeah, let's leave.
51:36
Oh, I assume he was doing this as you guys were like shuffling.
51:39
I don't think he'd be whispering.
51:41
We got attacked by the Spookies.
51:42
I will not be waiting for that.
51:43
We had to hit the recovery cabin.
51:46
We're running over to the supply shack right now.
51:47
You got like bandages on your head, like some war veteran or something.
51:52
Guys, I can't believe this.
51:53
You know, it's a lot easier to run without talking.
51:57
I know, but the suds gang's got to know.
51:59
This is going to be huge.
52:01
And you, you finish up your video there.
52:03
Just as you guys are getting to the doors of the supply cabin, Braden quickly waves
52:07
you guys inside and then closes it behind him.
52:09
He looks out nervously.
52:10
He's like, okay, I don't think I see anything out there.
52:14
All right.
52:15
So as you can see, doors locked.
52:18
I've got a couple of Jerry cans here for, oh, with some gasoline in them.
52:23
And if you guys, if somebody wants to carry one, I could carry one.
52:27
I could carry both, but like, what if we run into the thing?
52:30
Like not, not to be that guy, but any holds up a baseball bat that he's already stuck
52:35
some spikes and nails into.
52:37
And he says, I can't beat the thing if I'm carrying Jerry cans.
52:43
Oh, if somebody else wants to take those and then that way I can act as defense.
52:49
Martin puts his hand finger to his nose really fast.
52:51
I hear it as well.
52:53
I guess.
52:54
Oh, sure.
52:56
I have a gun.
52:58
I have a gun.
53:01
I mean, okay, okay.
53:02
You keep the gun train ready to go.
53:04
I've got the baseball bat.
53:06
What about you?
53:07
I've got my golf clubs.
53:09
Okay.
53:10
I really don't have a weapon.
53:12
So I probably should be carrying the gas cans.
53:14
Okay.
53:15
You take a gas can.
53:16
Are you on both of them?
53:17
Yeah.
53:18
Oh, dude.
53:19
Hey, my hero.
53:20
Awesome.
53:21
So you take the Jerry cans.
53:22
He's got the baseball bat.
53:23
I'm going to say that Justin grabs like a pair of tennis rackets.
53:27
Wow.
53:28
Yeah.
53:29
He's not the most helpful person.
53:30
Well, he's got his whole thing of golf clubs.
53:32
Maybe you can spare a couple.
53:34
Could you spare me a golf club?
53:36
Oh, no, no, no, no.
53:37
There's got to be putters there.
53:38
Yeah.
53:39
Because they have a golf course.
53:40
He grabs a putter and he's like, is this one good?
53:42
No, but it's a little work for now.
53:44
Oh, wait.
53:46
You meant for beating a monster?
53:47
Oh, yeah.
53:48
It'll work fine.
53:49
Yeah.
53:50
That's what I'm concerned about.
53:51
I mean, you meant on the actual golf course because that one's not, that's pretty cheaply
53:55
made, but it's metal.
53:56
It'll do the trick.
53:58
Okay.
53:59
All right.
54:00
So where are we headed?
54:01
Okay.
54:02
So I looked at the map for the emergency stuff and it says that the generator is located
54:06
right here.
54:07
Any points, just a little ways inside the forest based on the park map.
54:12
This is the generator.
54:14
So basically I figure it must be out of gas, which is why the electricity goes out.
54:20
So we just got to refill it and we're going to go.
54:22
You know, easy peasy.
54:23
So stealth option.
54:24
Is that what we're going with?
54:27
You guys cool with that?
54:28
It's not really stealth.
54:29
If I'm wearing my golf clubs and chatterboxes, the login.
54:33
Yeah, I still have to do my ad read.
54:35
So I think we were going to do that while we're walking.
54:38
So we'll just do sprint.
54:39
All right.
54:40
Let's go guys.
54:41
And you guys all sprint out the door towards the forest on the eastern end of the island.
54:48
As you guys approach it, you step inside, you follow a sort of worn path that leads you
54:55
to an old rickety shed.
55:00
And there's a door.
55:01
I imagine Braden is probably leading this group and he reaches over.
55:05
He opens the door and inside you see this old generator.
55:10
And you can see there is a main plug.
55:12
It's a bigger plug.
55:13
It's not like your typical extension cord cable plug.
55:15
Right.
55:16
This isn't a three prong.
55:17
This is like a eight prong, like big plug.
55:19
I don't know.
55:20
I don't know.
55:21
I like to see stuff.
55:22
The more prongs, the more power and it has been completely disconnected from the generator.
55:30
And he goes, whoa, this isn't out of gas.
55:36
Someone disconnected that.
55:38
And just as he says this, you hear a mournful howl erupt from just like probably a hundred
55:46
feet away from you guys inside the trees and outsteps the shatter we silhouette of Big
55:54
Foot.
56:11
October 28th, Anno Domini 1586.
56:15
Harker Alley, latitude 34 degrees north, longitude 76 degrees west.
56:21
A grim discovery has been made this day.
56:24
After a protracted voyage, bearing much needed supplies for the hopeful souls who sought to
56:29
establish a foothold on this Roanoke Isle, we have arrived to find silence.
56:36
An unnerving absolute silence hangs heavy in the air, where we expected to find the bustling
56:43
activity of a fledgling colony.
56:45
Upon venturing ashore, a scene of utter abandonment unfolded before our eyes.
56:52
The structures they had erected stand empty, their doors ajar as if their inhabitants had
56:57
departed in haste.
56:58
But it is not mere absence we have found.
57:02
Scattered amongst the dwellings and in the surrounding woods lay the remains of men.
57:07
Fourteen souls by our count.
57:10
Their bones, bleached by the sun and gnawed upon by scavengers, tell a horrifying tale.
57:16
Mangled beyond recognition, their ends could not have been peaceful.
57:22
The chilling fear gripped my men, and indeed my own heart.
57:26
Could this be the work of the native tribes?
57:28
Had they turned upon the settlers with savagery we had not anticipated?
57:33
The thought sits ill within me, a stain upon this venture.
57:37
We have gathered the remains as best we could, offering them what little dignity remained
57:41
in hastily dug graves.
57:44
The manner of their demise, however, has left a palpable unease amongst the crew.
57:50
While my men searched the deserted cabins for any sign, any explanation for this tragedy,
57:56
a disquieting sensation settled upon me.
58:00
It was as if unseen eyes watched our every move from the shadow of the trees, a prickling
58:06
on the back of the neck, a whisper on the wind that carries no discernible words.
58:11
The very air felt heavy, charged with a silent dread.
58:17
My men, too, spoke of feeling watched, of shadows that danced at the periphery of their
58:22
vision.
58:23
There is an ill omen about this place.
58:26
A sense of lingering horror that chills the very marrow.
58:31
I dare not linger here longer than necessary.
58:34
As the plies we brought lie useless, their intended recipients gone to a grim fate.
58:40
With heavy hearts and a profound sense of failure, we have decided to weigh anchor and
58:45
depart this cursed isle.
58:48
May God have mercy on the souls lost here, and grant us better fortune in our future endeavors.
58:54
Walter Raleigh, Captain.
