WEBVTT
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:48.479
Hello, everybody.
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:49.119
Hi.
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:50.719
Good day, sir.
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.640
Where did we leave off in the last episode?
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:03.520
We left off at the house of the sheriff, and it was across the street from 1213 Emmerhurst.
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:04.799
Yes, across the street.
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:05.680
Not at.
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.200
You left it in front of the computer.
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:13.760
Yep.
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:25.359
So um Augustine, Bigsy, Bertie, and Tate went and took on a big old gaggle of baddies.
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.760
Including the sheriff.
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.480
Zorson's a little messed up.
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:31.840
Very messed up.
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:33.760
Kind of can't breathe.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.840
Like you guys feel like he needs to see a doctor, like, pretty soon.
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:38.719
Yeah.
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.599
Uh everybody but the sheriff is dead.
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.319
And the sheriff is like dead.
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.640
He's like barely alive.
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:56.159
That's where we left off.
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:57.359
Yep.
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.920
Uh Fontaine got his hand bit.
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.959
Oh, I forgot that.
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:04.000
Yeah.
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:10.560
He went uh because the sheriff tried to bite down on the pill and he threw his threw his hand in his mouth.
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:12.800
And he punched him a bunch in the face.
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:13.360
Tate.
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.280
Took the pill out of his mouth.
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:18.400
Small lead capsule.
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:18.960
Yeah.
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.360
You found something.
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:26.240
A bill fold on the sheriff with notes and a divisio badge.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:26.719
Yep.
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.719
Numero 31.
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.639
There's 30 more of these pricks.
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:36.639
At least.
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:38.879
29 now.
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.360
29 now.
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:42.159
Oh, that's good.
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:43.120
Yeah, I like that.
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:44.639
Believe you me.
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.039
Yep, so we did that.
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.719
Um Zorsen is gravely injured.
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:56.560
Uh, everybody else is largely unscathed, except uh uh, like you said, Augustine.
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:57.439
What's his last name again?
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:58.639
August Fontaine.
00:02:58.800 --> 00:02:59.759
August Fontaine.
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:07.360
Uh so Fontaine's hand is bit, the sheriff is barely alive, and all of his cronies are D E D dead.
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:08.159
Yep.
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:16.960
With any medical knowledge or whatever of time period, is the sheriff savable?
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.319
No, I think last time I said I'm turning this up a little bit.
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.240
He is like death's door, right?
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.159
He'll he might be alive for another like few hours, but there's no saving him.
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.360
He's taken a bullet to the stomach, he took a bullet to the thigh, he took a beating to the head.
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:41.599
Um I'm gonna carry over a role from last episode.
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.639
I think you rolled like an okay medical check of some kind, right?
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:45.840
Like a first aid or something.
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:46.319
Yeah.
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.919
Um carrying that over into this present session.
00:03:52.319 --> 00:04:04.159
Uh you might be able to get him like awake for like a few minutes, but it's like, especially for this time period, there's there's, you know, you're not gonna do a blood transfusion at a hospital, right?
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:05.520
Like he's done.
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:10.639
You're not gonna do like in-depth surgery to his fucking intestines and pull out the bullet fragments, you know.
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.960
He's this guy's like, it's yeah, he's dead.
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.840
Uh I mean, this is the world of the occult.
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:26.639
Uh well speaking of the occult, uh, Bertie is going to reach into his breast pocket and pull out the last infused green gem.
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:28.399
He already gave it to Zwerson.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.519
Damn it.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.759
He threw it on him last episode.
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:41.279
He said he, because Wilson was like on the couch, like, and he was like, here, might be the wrong time of day, but hope this helps.
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:42.160
Yes, okay.
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.160
And there were no gems on the sheriff or any of his lackeys.
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.519
They have found none.
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.639
Bertie, why don't you search the house for any of those gems quick?
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:51.680
I'm on it.
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:54.000
Yes, sir.
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:54.800
I'm on it.
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:55.519
Maybe I'll back.
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.160
Yeah, I heard that right away.
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.279
Maybe I'll back if there's anything that they were digging lately.
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.040
Yeah, I'll do uh I'll do a good search here.
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.120
And keep an eye out for any other stragglers that may or may not be around.
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:18.720
Birdie's gonna go, he's gonna start methodically searching the house from top to bottom, and then after that, the yard.
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.439
Is Fontaine and Swenson still there?
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:35.839
Yeah, Zworson's laying on the couch in the like living room area, holding his throat with one hand and and kind of gesturing with the other Fontaine's kneeling next to him, making sure he's okay.
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.800
Fontaine, you think you get him to a doctor?
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:40.560
Uh yeah, I can get him.
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.480
Ah shit, I need to see one too.
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:50.240
He shakes his hand, which has you know big teeth marks and blood oozing down, not like gushing blood or anything, you know, like a like a tooth.
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.279
Teeth, a jaw bit down on his on his hand.
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.519
Let me wrap that for you quick before you go, though.
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:56.240
Ah, thanks.
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:01.759
Appreciate it.
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.560
Uh yeah, how about I'll take him into town right away?
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:08.319
You guys search the place.
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.720
Uh I'll be straight back.
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.279
I'll just take uh take a few horses with.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:14.879
Sounds good.
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.480
Old fashioned weird.
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:17.600
Yeah.
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.040
See if we can't make it back for this one.
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:22.480
We'll nod his head.
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.360
How much time do you think you got with that one?
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.839
A few hours if we're lucky.
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.720
More if the gem somehow works.
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:33.680
Alright.
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.079
I'm gonna take Zwarson here.
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.480
Uh I'll be back.
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:40.720
Well, maybe I wait with him.
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.240
Yeah, you should meet me at the hospital.
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:45.439
Doctor, whatever.
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.040
Alright, yeah, we'll find you.
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.439
Whatever the nicest one is in town, that's where we'll be.
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:50.240
I don't know what it's called.
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:51.600
All right.
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:52.959
Uh good luck.
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.040
You stay here with him, I'm gonna start upstairs.
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:58.560
Works for me.
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.800
Tate will search just the surroundings of the room that they're into.
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.680
Roll your dice, gentlemen.
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.439
95 over 73.
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:10.160
Fail.
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.720
44 under 67.
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:14.319
Critical success.
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:15.439
Really?
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:16.399
Yes, sir.
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:24.079
Fontaine leans down, gets Zorsen upright, arm around his shoulder, he takes him out to the carriage, puts him in the back.
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.720
They start, he's still got his gun in his hand.
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.560
And even when he's on, you know, it's it's uh when he's on the cart, it's right there on his thigh.
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:33.680
He's just holding it there.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.120
Not letting that thing go.
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:49.759
There's dust floating all around, particles illuminated by beams traveling through holes in the walls, bullet holes coming in, going out, broken glass, crunches underfoot.
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:56.160
In some areas where there's more blood, the glass sticks to the bottom of their boots for just a moment before falling off.
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.560
Uh Bertie, you're searching the upstairs?
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.319
I'm starting upstairs, yes.
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:02.079
And you're downstairs.
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:02.959
Uh yeah.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.519
Staying where I can see the sheriff, though.
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:11.519
The upstairs, Bertie, seems to have a hand couple.
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.079
It has a couple like bedrooms.
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:18.000
This is a big-ish house, you know, not huge, right?
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:19.600
But a couple bedrooms.
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.480
Each bedroom has a few beds.
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:23.360
Twins.
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:24.319
Three apiece.
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.839
Some of them seem to have been used recently, some of them not so much.
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.200
There is a lot of dust in the air, but there's certain areas that seem used more than others.
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.279
There's footlockers, uh, some of which have locks, some of which are unlocked.
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:44.000
Digging through them, you find clothes, uh, standard like civilian attire, right?
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.919
No, no uniform or anything like that.
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:54.799
In some of them, you find ammunition, a handgun, uh, ring of keys, cash, notebook, stuff like that.
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:56.960
Very, you know, standard issue.
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:06.799
One of the rooms is kind of an office space where there's notebooks, journals, but none of them are filled out.
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.720
What did what was your role?
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.720
Uh it was uh 95 over 73 fail.
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:14.159
That's what he finds.
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:20.799
Uh Bertie will like sift through the the notebooks and the lockers, and you know, he's gonna do a thorough job.
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:21.279
Yeah.
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.759
But uh, yep, he's that's what he's doing for a while.
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:29.759
It looks like a staging area for for like a small group of people that are like posted to an you know what I mean?
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.759
In the basement, or not the basement, I'm sorry, in the first floor, Clay is searching.
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.720
There's a dining area, a living area, there's the kitchen.
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:46.960
It's fully stocked with pots and pans and plates and silverware and all that.
00:09:47.200 --> 00:10:00.639
It's all very utilitarian, very basic stuff, but it looks like this house would be able to hold, you know, a family or a handful of operatives.
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:07.759
One of the rooms that he finds is a it looks like a work area.
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.519
Like there's a tool bench and toolboxes and whatnot.
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.200
There's a little bit of scrap here and there, there's a little bit of dirt on the floor.
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.320
Looks like this is used semi-regularly, but there's tools, right?
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:25.919
There's some shovels, there's some wrenches, some old-fashioned screwdrivers, right?
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:27.600
Hand crank drills.
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:33.360
He goes to grab one of the handles of a screwdriver.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.120
He grabs one of the screwdrivers.
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:40.960
And back then they didn't have like the the uh flat sides, you know what I mean?
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.799
They were kind of just like it's just like a ball with like a piece of metal sticking out the end of it.
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:59.519
He's looking around and he just grabs one of these and looks at it, and he sees a little bit of a line around the metal toward the base, and it makes him think he grabs it and realizes it's loose.
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:05.519
The handle is loose a little bit to the the screw, and he pulls it out.
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.120
This ain't right.
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.919
And a small piece of paper rolled up, coiled up inside the handle, falls out.
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.639
Opens it up and reads it.
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.480
It is a cipher like code.
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.799
Looking at it, he feels like he could decrypt what they found on the sheriff in his bill fold.
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.360
I think I have a little something, Bertie.
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.919
Tate's gonna head back to the sheriff.
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:34.720
Heading back to where the sheriff sat and taking a seat, he'll pull the notebook out.
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.120
The sheriff is like breathing, but it's slow and labored.
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.200
You got a paper, a pen, uh, a pencil, a quill up there, anything?
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:44.639
I got all sorts of stuff, man.
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.679
I'll bring down something.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.000
Once Bertie brings it down, Tate will take it, lay it out.
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.279
I found a I think it's their code.
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:54.000
Oh.
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:59.200
And he'll start working between the two and trying to write out the journal.
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.320
With any luck, Bertie, this will tell us something useful.
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:02.639
Oh.
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.840
Birdie's gonna look over his shoulder to see if he can't help decipher it.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:13.519
Roll an intelligence check, and this is gonna determine how long it takes you to decrypt uh the documents.
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.120
86 over 85.
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.600
23 under 85.
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.759
You could luck that one and pass.
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.320
Uh, if you're lucky, I'm I'm good with it.
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:33.039
There's a fan of the show that messaged me, and I hope someday he gets to this episode, but he's he's in chapter two, and he DM'd me.
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:40.799
He said, Tate just used six points of luck to find out that it's weird for a right-handed person to write with their left.
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:44.559
Like, yeah.
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.279
When you use that, do you spend it like completely?
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:53.679
Yeah, it's permanently gone unless some special act of God type of thing happens to rejuvenate your luck.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:59.519
Uh you know, I'm not really making heads or tails of this.
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:02.159
Why don't you check out back, give me some quiet?
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.159
I think I'm getting it pretty good.
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:04.879
All right.
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:06.799
Well, I'll go out back then.
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.360
So you rolled successfully.
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.120
So each document is gonna take about 30 minutes to decrypt.
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.240
They're not very long, but it is a complicated code, right, to break down.
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.600
Yeah, I would have beaten a hard check.
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:22.960
I'm not giving you a bonus.
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:23.840
I rolled very good.
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:24.960
Maybe I'd give you a bonus.
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.320
Give me a little bonus.
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:28.080
60 seconds.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:29.360
Taken off.
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.159
Taken off of each page.
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:33.519
Oh, yeah, there you go.
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.279
Takes you 29 minutes.
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:42.559
So there's uh you imagine playing a game that crunchy where that one minute matters that much.
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.080
Um no, thank you.
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:49.360
So one of the pieces slips of paper has one like note.
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.200
It has one like message.
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:56.960
The second piece of paper has two messages with a one message with a space in between it, right?
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:58.240
So in total, there's three.
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.720
One, the third is very short.
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:07.519
Now, it's gonna take about 30 minutes per document, the last one being shorter, so we'll say 10 minutes.
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.360
So that's uh you know, 70 minutes right there.
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.600
He starts with the shortest one.
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:15.679
10 minutes go by.
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:22.399
Shipment received, funds inbound, send confirmation of next shipment.
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.759
Then he works on to the next shortest.
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.039
The sheriff gurgles a little bit.
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:33.039
There's a blood dripping down the side of his face, his mouth.
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.279
I mean, there's nothing he can do.
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:41.679
So he just maybe wipes some of the blood, sees if he's waking up.
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.480
He's choking on the he's like choking on the blood right now.
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:44.799
Oh, okay.
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.840
Because his head is upright.
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.679
Yeah, then he puts him in a position and tries to clear that.
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.320
Okay.
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:52.639
Glad you thought about that before.
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.799
Well, you just said just gurgle.
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.120
I mean.
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.360
Well, because you gotta go, you gotta check on him, right?
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.960
You don't check on him, there's consequences.
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:00.240
But you checked on him, so there you go.
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.960
Turn his head to the side, kind of wipe his blood a little bit.
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:04.399
Thirty minutes go by.
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:05.360
Message two.
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.840
Be on lookout for a man.
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:13.600
Calls himself Jay Callaway, leader of growing organization.
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:17.200
May be of interest to us.
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:31.759
Reported to be tall, southern accent, pink flower on chest, white attire, potential risk, high level.
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.240
Notify div 10.
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:38.720
Can you say that over slowly?
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.159
Yeah, when he's done writing, I'll say it again.
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:43.120
I got it.
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.480
You got all that?
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.799
Um, in Spark notes.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.440
Alright.
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:53.279
I'm I'm gonna post this in our like OPP Discord or I'll just email it to us, whatever.
00:15:53.360 --> 00:16:00.240
But I'll say it again for the audience, so cut that last slow bit, but be on lookout for a man.
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:06.799
Calls himself Jay Callaway, leader of a growing organization, may be of interest to us.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:15.360
Reported to be tall, southern accent, pink flower on chest, white attire, potential risk, level high.
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:17.200
Notify div 10.
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.320
That is the same guy that gave the books.
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.279
Tall man, southern accent, dressed white.
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:32.399
Same guy in the book that gave the book to that kid.
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:33.759
Claudie's smiling.
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.000
Like I actually put something together for once.
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:39.279
You're smiling at me because you're proud of yourself for putting that together.
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.000
Well, when I heard Jay Calloway, that was super familiar.
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:44.639
I was trying to think of where that was from.
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.440
I don't remember where the Jay Calloway was from.
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.159
It just sounds really familiar, but I remember the the description.
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:54.000
I don't think I've ever said that to you guys before.
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:54.879
I don't know.
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.399
It just sounds really familiar.
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:56.799
Well.
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.320
Could be like deja vu or whatever that that stuff's called.
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:01.440
30 minutes go by.
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:02.720
That's your message.
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:05.119
Third message, final one.
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:06.640
Sheriff's still doing good.
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:07.279
Ish.
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.079
He clears it again.
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:14.880
Burps him a little.
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:15.440
Oh.
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.160
Third message, final one.
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.720
High value.
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:22.079
High value.
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.400
Danger elevated.
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.680
Confirmed.
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.319
Protective movement activated.
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.000
Urgent movement.
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.359
Standby.
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:33.680
Visitor likely.
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.279
Black feather.
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:40.160
Roll does that mean anything to you, Bertie Johnson?
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:45.440
Uh Bertie is reading the notes that Clay has deciphered.
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:56.480
And the black feather makes him think of crows and the hag and uh let's see.
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:04.559
Maybe that wandering Wraith out of the mists that was helping out uh Creedmore.
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.400
Yeah, but Tavisio wouldn't have killed Creedmoor if they were helping him.
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:17.279
I rolled a 63 under 85 for intelligence.
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:20.640
What was his uh intelligence check?
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:21.839
His intuition?
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:22.799
Yes.
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.079
To see if he to see if that made any sense.
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:27.440
What did he roll?
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.599
Uh 63 under 85.
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:30.079
Okay.
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:33.279
So yes.
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:35.599
He's got all that.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:40.000
But it also reminds him a little bit, right?
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.920
Intuition is not necessarily like a super logical thing.
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:52.160
Always, but he it reminds him of when he had the dream where he got the address from.
00:18:52.400 --> 00:19:01.039
Black feather reminds him of that shorter person, that dream that he had where he got the address.
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:06.160
Something about Black Feather makes him think of that shorter figure.
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.480
This third note here.
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.559
Yeah, I'm kind of Black Feather and Crows.
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.480
We've seen a lot of crows, haven't we?
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:15.440
Yeah.
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:24.640
Well, the vision I had that showed me the address, you know, the 1123 uh Elmsworth or wherever the heck we're at right now.
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.279
Let me consult my across the street from it.
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:28.400
Yeah, Amherhurst.
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:30.160
1213 Amherst.
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:44.000
Well, that vision that I had, uh, I saw the sheriff talking to a shorter fellow that kind of seemed to be wreathed in black a bit, and I don't know, reading that note kind of makes me think of that person.
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:46.480
I think I think they might be talking about them.
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:54.319
If I'm looking at this right, Tate still looks over at the sheriff real quick, looks back.
00:19:54.559 --> 00:20:03.359
If I if I'm taking anything out of this, the black feather and the crows, that's divisio.
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:04.960
Hmm.
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:06.559
So you think the crows are divisio?
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:13.599
This one here says div ten, and I'm thinking most of these letters coming from the same person because it's the same cipher.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.319
And if I'm looking over here, this Jay Cutler fella.
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:19.440
Callaway?
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:20.880
Jay Callaway.
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.480
Tall man, dressed in all white, southern accent.
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.160
The flower on his lapel.
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:34.640
That's the same guy that gave that uh magic book to our uh buddy from a few weeks back.
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:39.039
Oh yeah, out in uh out in uh where were we, Michigan?
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:39.920
White round.
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:40.799
Yeah, white round.
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:42.319
Yeah, White Round, Michigan.
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:42.960
Mm-hmm.
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.000
And now putting a few things together with it.
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:54.000
When that boy that got that book was hiding out in the woods, a crow told me where he was at.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.039
Hmm.
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:02.559
So So you think I think we're stuck behind some sort of triangle here, at least last episode.
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:11.200
At least last investigation, where this cutler fella.
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:20.400
Callaway Callaway fella, that they think is super dangerous, and I'm led to believe the same, appeared and gave a book.
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:28.640
Divisio assumably didn't have anybody in the area, and was leading us on the chase to stop him.
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.000
So you think Divisio was pulling our strings.
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:36.880
Not our strings, but I think they were using us because we were there.
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:39.279
Well, wouldn't that be the same as pulling our strings?
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.319
But now we're on to them a little more so.
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:43.039
Hmm.
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:55.440
I think uh reception that we got at this house wasn't because the the CPMP was war center.
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:59.839
The other guy was here, I think looking at this, danger imminent, prepare, whatever.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:00.799
Or whatever.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.359
Right?
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:02.880
That was probably pretty recent.
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.559
Same with your vision.
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:05.359
Hmm.
00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:10.480
So you think they were these fellas up here in this house were preparing to meet Callaway.
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.680
And I think Callaway might still be on his way.
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:25.039
So not only do we got a big pit of nothing spitting out evil gems and a bunch of other hoodoo over at um Short Tree?
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.440
No.
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:26.400
Sierriton.
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.160
Over at Sierriton.
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.160
But we also got a third party here.
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:35.839
Or is I mean, is Divisio a part of Sierra T?
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.240
Are they for it or against it?
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:38.960
Is it a good idea?
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:40.640
I think they're working with it.
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:46.400
Okay, so they're they're buying what they're selling and leaving them alone in the meantime.
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.200
Okay.
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:52.480
It's kind of it's it's it's its own uh ecosystem of sorts, I think.
00:22:52.720 --> 00:23:04.960
Well, we do know that Davisio uh up at uh um Apollo's cradle were looking to harness the the power of them floating orbs, putting out all the heat.
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.039
Now they found something else.
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:09.839
Now we find another resource that they're tapping into.
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:25.839
So if we think about Divisio in a certain light, they are an organization out looking to harness the potential of a bunch of these uh, you know, metaphysical phenomena.
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:44.079
And this Callaway fella is looking to I don't know, spread spread something, spread evil, or maybe people do his cause, because it says he's got a growing organization.
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:55.599
So maybe this Callaway fella is a part of a different organization like Divisio, but maybe with different goals in mind.
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:58.640
I think Callaway's leading his own organization.
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:00.799
Well, let's let's read these in order, right?
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:09.200
First one, first one's just about receiving a shipment, um, payments inbound, sending funds for next shipment, right?
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:13.200
That's just uh that's just a you know, what am I looking for here?
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.400
Like an invoice slash pack and slip almost, right?
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.599
Like a receipt.
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.680
Just some communication back and forth.
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.319
Yep.
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:27.440
Second one, be on lookout for a man calls himself Jay Callaway, leader of growing organization.
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:31.519
Now, could that organization have spawned from Divisio?
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:34.000
Is it completely independent of Divisio?
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:36.079
A lot of questions we don't know the answers to.
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.480
Being on the lookout, I take it, independent.
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:50.720
It's if you look at this last one, that he's expected, danger's imminent, I think they're scared of this Callaway fellow.
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.960
Makes you wonder what happened for them to feel that way.
00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:09.759
If he can get that magic evil book, that demon book from last time, so easily and give it away and teach someone how to use it, I think he might know a little bit more than what uh this pistol here can do.
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:15.759
You also you noted on on this earlier, the crow helped you track down the kid.
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:16.559
Yep.
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.920
And Callaway, presumably, is the person who gave the kid the book.
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:22.799
Yep.
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:26.319
That would what is that?
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.759
That that's implying something there.
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:28.079
Yeah.
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:35.279
Why would they have me track down the kid if they were the ones that gave him the book or were working with Callaway?
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:55.119
So so based on that, uh, I think it's a safe assumption to say that uh the crows and whatever association is with them, which may or may not be Divisio, are not working in alignment with Callaway and the haunted books.
00:25:55.440 --> 00:26:02.480
Absolutely, and I think we're in a place where we've seen enough, we don't need to really make assumptions as much.
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.079
More of educated guess.
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:06.640
That's right, we got a hypothesis.
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:12.240
Because when we were going to the the farm, right?
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:15.200
Why was that crow telling me not to go?
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:19.440
Because it was trying to protect the interests of Divisio.
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:20.640
Makes sense to me.
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:21.200
See?
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:26.880
And who was the extra there that our uh Cream Wars friend told us about?
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:35.759
Hey, and you remember out front of the restaurant when uh when those members of the gang were messing with their buddy?
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.880
And uh and then that crow came and slammed down into the ground as like a distraction?
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.160
I think I do.
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:50.400
I mean, either A, that crow was sent down there intentionally to pull your attention away, or maybe that was the actions of Callaway as well.
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.079
Maybe Callaway's already here.
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:57.920
To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if he was here, there, and somewhere else.
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:00.319
Well, where the heck are my visions coming from?
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:02.240
This is this is true too.
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:06.960
And where'd my where'd our friend come from from last night?
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:12.960
We're thinking right now that this is we might be thinking too much in a binary sense.
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:14.720
You know, Divisio and other.
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.359
Maybe there's maybe it's way messier than that.
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.920
Maybe there's considering your bunch of players.
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:22.960
R, I guess now, backpack buddy.
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:28.480
That just appeared in the room, walked away.
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:31.359
He did say he didn't have much time.
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:33.839
So like he couldn't be there for long.
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.160
I think there's people out there that got away of being places.
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:43.759
The backpack guy with the s uh with the strangely rectangular square back yeah.
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.400
Yeah, okay.
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:46.640
And his uh coyote.
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.599
Well, still messy, still messy.
00:27:54.240 --> 00:28:03.519
But I think right now it would be a safe assumption to say we don't trust the word of crows and keep our heads on swivels for everyone else.
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.119
Yeah, and if there's a coyote around, it's probably our friend.
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.559
Until it proves otherwise, I think we can make that assumption.
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:11.200
Oh.
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:16.880
His uh his views for these next few days align them with ours at least.
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:21.279
Well, alright.
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:27.359
Yeah, I didn't find nothing upstairs, nothing too uh telling, just you know.
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:29.920
Research it pretty good, or you need me to check.
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.279
I mean, I gave it a good once over, but you know, hell.
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:34.799
Second set of eyes wouldn't hurt.
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:36.240
I can keep an eye down here if you want to go.
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:38.640
Yeah, make sure he doesn't choke on his own tongue again.
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:39.759
I got him.
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:45.519
Tate wants to check there, upstairs and outside.
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:50.480
Because we found gems buried before.
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:52.160
Okay.
00:28:53.119 --> 00:29:01.920
Uh I will say in the interest of time, that what time would it be about right now, in-game?
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:05.279
Uh we I I believe I believe we waited for Zwarsen.
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:05.839
Yep.
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.880
But that was like midday, so right?
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:10.640
I'm getting the vibes of afternoon.
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:11.680
Yeah, 3 p.m.
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:19.920
You guys traveled, you had to travel to the house, had the firefight, decoded the thing.
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:24.079
And it's been roughly an hour and a half since uh August left.
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:28.400
Yeah, searching, you search I mean, searching the place probably took at least 20 minutes right there.
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.160
Let's say it's like 3 30.
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:30.640
Done.
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:31.359
Right?
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.319
Is that fair?
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:32.880
Yeah.
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:34.400
No, 329.
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:35.200
Okay, fine.
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:37.119
It's 331.
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:38.720
Damn.
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:40.000
And two quarters.
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:41.839
He took a minute.
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:44.720
I take a minute and I giveth.
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:46.720
I giveth and I taketh.
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:48.319
But one minute.
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:51.440
Praying do how to alter the deal for.
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:52.880
Nothing less.
00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:58.799
Uh okay.
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:00.880
That was a really good conversation.
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:02.079
Uh, I think.
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.359
So good job, both of you.
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:06.319
Good chat.
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.480
It's really nice seeing you guys put.
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:12.240
I mean, this is we're culminating all 55 episodes.
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.240
55 episodes, by the way.
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.480
Do I find a gem or not?
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:20.160
In the interest of time, as you just said.
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:21.519
Oh yeah.
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.240
I did say that, didn't I?
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:30.400
Uh so uh roll roll another search check, whatever.
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:35.279
25 under 67.
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:44.799
Outside, he finds some freshly moved dirt.
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.519
This lines up with the little tool room that he found.
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:51.759
Some of the shovels had dirt on them, right?
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:53.359
There's dirt on the floor.
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:56.079
He use a shovel and dig the area.
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:57.680
He also searched upstairs.
00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:59.519
I'll say he started with the upstairs.
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:02.079
Uh he found everything that Bertie also found.
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:05.359
You know, he also found some weapons lockers too.
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:15.519
One of which has one of the weapons lockers has it can hold four rifles.
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:18.000
There's one missing.
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:21.839
Then he goes, he finds the shovel, starts digging.
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.079
Meanwhile, the sheriff and Birdie.
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:29.680
The sheriff's breathing is starting to slow.
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:31.839
His heart rate is starting to slow.
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:33.839
He looks very, very pale.
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:36.160
He looks like he could go at any minute.
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:37.599
Hey.
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:39.119
Hey.
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:40.559
Sheriff.
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:44.720
Uh, how hard are you trying to wake up?
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:45.839
You were trying to like wake him up?
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:46.319
Yeah.
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:48.240
Uh, how hard are you trying?
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:56.240
Um, I'm not going to slap him, but I am going to snap my fingers in front of his face, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to pinch his nose.
00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:57.759
Stern him wrong.
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:00.559
Got your nose.
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.920
Like uh, like, you know, like yeah, right?
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:07.039
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:15.039
Birdie, roll a luck check.
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:17.839
Not an intimidator.
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:19.519
I'm cool with either.
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:22.480
Scared me to death.
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:24.319
Scared me to life.
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:26.000
All right.
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.039
Luck check.
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:27.839
Here we go.
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.640
Fifty-six over forty-four fail.
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:35.920
You can use luck to pass.
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.440
You can't use luck to pass your luck.
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:40.559
I don't think.
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:45.759
The rules lawyer in the audience is like, uh okay.
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:48.000
So Bertie snaps.
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:49.839
All right.
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.319
Hey.
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:54.160
Sheriff, come on now.
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:56.319
This ain't no shut-eye time.
00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:59.359
I got a couple questions for you.
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:00.880
Doesn't work.
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:06.799
I wonder what you must be thinking.
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:08.160
I'm just gonna talk to him.
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:11.119
I wonder what you must be thinking there right now.
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:19.680
Slowly succumbing to the inevitable black nothingness that is death.
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.200
Was the life you chose worth it?
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:26.720
I mean, really, was it?
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:32.319
You know, playing around with gems and pits and crows and whatnot?
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:34.880
Like, was that fulfilling?
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:39.440
Or did they have some kind of hold over you that just made you a prick?
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:42.559
Because I mean, you gotta ask yourself, right?
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:47.119
You know, when it's when it's when the tab comes, right?
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.279
Like, was it worth it?
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:51.039
Did you do it everything?
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:55.200
Did you do everything the way you wanted to do it?
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:57.759
Were you coerced into everything?
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:04.799
Were you truly the master of your own domain, or were you just somebody's pawn?
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:06.799
Hey.
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:10.400
Yeah.
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:15.760
I figured you you seem like a pawn to me.
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:20.239
His eyes flick open for just a second.
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:25.599
And then he starts to kind of shake a little bit.
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.719
Looks like you're looks like you're there now, bud.
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:34.559
He's gonna roll him to his side a little bit.
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.039
Bertie gets the impression he's laughing.
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:37.679
Oh.
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:40.639
You found something funny, huh?
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:46.719
Certainly weren't in charge.
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:51.039
He's gone.
00:34:54.880 --> 00:35:00.159
Normally one would say rest in peace, but I don't think you deserve it.
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:02.880
We're just gonna light a cigarette.
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:15.599
Outside the clay digs a hole in some freshly turned soil.
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:25.599
In the bottom of a small pit, he finds nothing.
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:32.800
And a slight cool breeze creeps through his hair.
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:35.920
And that's where we'll end this episode.
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:38.880
Cool breeze.
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:22.639
If you don't, then you don't listen to these post-show things and you should be ashamed of yourself.
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:23.920
No, I'm just kidding, you shouldn't.
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:24.880
You should be proud of yourself.
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:26.639
You've come a long way and you've worked very hard.
00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:28.719
So let me tell you about our Patreon.
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:34.960
On the Patreon, we have behind-the-scenes content, deleted scenes, bloopers reel, all that jazz.
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:42.320
Uh we have old parasol offline where the guys and I just chit-chat about bullshit and whatever for hours on end.
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.480
We also have some extra shows.
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:45.840
Uh Cylinder Cycle.
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:47.840
We have many shows coming up for that.
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:49.280
We have a DD show on there.
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:55.920
We have a spin-off set in the world of Suffer Not with some characters who make a cameo in guess what?
00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:57.119
Suffer Not.
00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:59.360
And there's lots more to come.
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:04.639
Uh early access when art gets put out, and also your name gets shouted out.
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:09.679
Speaking of which, let me get a big shout out to our beautiful patrons, Crush.
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:10.960
Xander is here.
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:12.000
Canned bread.
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:13.920
We love canned bread on this program.
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:20.960
Uh Glan's Dilzig, Carter Garcia, Paul Davis, Steak, and Totoro Rose Bang Bus.
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:22.320
You already knew it.
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:23.599
Uh, what else do we have?
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:24.480
We have merch.
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:27.840
We got some new shirts, like I mentioned before, some pretty cool shirts.
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:28.719
I really like them.
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:33.280
Uh, I wear them all the time to the goth coffee shop, as I've mentioned.
00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:35.119
Uh what else?
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.679
We have prints, we have new posters that are out there too.
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:44.079
So if you really liked Apollo's cradle, or you just really like the art, man, maybe you think, dude, fucking so let it be written.
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:44.880
Sucks.
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:46.559
But I really want that on my wall.
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:47.599
Hey, that's fine.
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:48.880
Props to the artist.
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:51.440
Uh, go check his work out on Instagram.
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:52.800
Uh what else?
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:54.320
Oh, I mean, coffee mugs, whatever.
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:55.199
You get the whole thing.
00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:06.800
Uh, we also have a Discord where people can pop in, hang out, chit, chat, theorize about what's going on in the show, uh, which is predominantly what happened in this episode.
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:12.480
It was a shorter episode, uh, but I think it was really packed.
00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:20.880
I'm really happy to see uh the agents kind of start to uh at least try to piece things together.
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:37.119
We have 60-something episodes now of content and uh little little hints, little clues, little things that have come up that have been that they've seen and have sometimes kind of ignored or brushed off or walked past, which is fine.
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:44.239
But uh there is a mystery to be solved, and I think they're they're working in the right direction.
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:45.519
I'll say that.
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:51.760
Um, which is always fun to see, especially as you know, the the the GM of the game.
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:57.039
You always get like the little smile on your face you have to hide when people start to kind of you know put things together.
00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:01.440
They start to the seeds you planted start to bloom, you know.
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:06.239
Um, but besides that, what else is there?
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:12.639
Uh I'll tell you, the lady and I went and did a very fun thing over the weekend.
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:22.320
Not only did we go bowling with the friends, which of course you have to do that, uh, but we also went to this like spiritual uh like little festival thing.
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:24.960
I think it was called Insomnia Salon.
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:26.480
And it was really cool.
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:33.119
It took place on an island in the middle of the Mississippi River, and it was actually kind of kind of big.
00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:39.199
If you don't realize how big the Mississippi is at certain points, it it is a very big river, as I'm sure you can imagine.
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:41.840
So the island was not small, right?
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:44.320
Um, and it's in the middle of the river.
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:47.039
So, so, and it was kind of like sunset, right?
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:57.039
So there was music playing, there were tarot cards, there was uh like weird kind of hoodoo voodoo mystical stuff.
00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:05.280
Um, it was really good, obviously like food trucks and you know, people selling uh like CDs and t-shirts and rocks and stones and shit.
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.320
Of course, I bought a t-shirt, uh, but it was really, really cool.
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.840
It was really, really cool, especially just like the the time of day.
00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:18.079
I mean, just watching the sunset uh on the river and all these really big cool boats.
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:26.239
It was uh it was a very we'll say spiritual experience, very on brand for the type of stuff that we do here on this program known as suffer not.
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.159
Um because uh I sure wasn't suffering.
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:32.559
Um yeah, uh what else?
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:33.119
What else?
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:33.519
What else?
00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:35.280
I think that's about that's about it.
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:37.679
That's all that's been relevant outside of, you know, work.
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:41.360
I mean, God, who wants to fucking talk about work after work?
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:44.880
Oh, let's go talk about let's get off work and go talk about work.
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:47.440
Oh, fucking kill me.
00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:50.719
Kind of like the share of fate.
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:55.280
Um haha, but um, I think uh I think that'll do it.
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:57.440
I won't I won't belabor the point, you know.
00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:08.880
Uh you guys check out the Discord, check out the cool stuff on there, check out the merch on the website, check out the Discord, and uh lots of new stuff coming.
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:14.079
I'll tell you guys, it's been uh it's been fun, it's been a really fun journey.
00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:16.719
And then and there's a lot more to come.
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:24.000
I think for me, like my my work life balance, especially with the show, was really out of whack for a couple of months there.
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:30.880
And I I worry that that shows through in the final product of the show, uh, where I was just it was really struggled personally, right?
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:42.800
You know, not to like pour my heart out and whatever, but I think uh I think things are a lot better right now for me, and I'm I'm getting back into the groove, um, which God willing, right?
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:52.960
God willing will mean more beautiful, high-quality content for you guys to enjoy and uh criticize and uh chit-chat about.
00:41:53.119 --> 00:42:02.239
So, anyway, you know, my last little favor request would be leave a comment, leave a review, whatever, share the show with your friends.
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:06.159
Uh, you know, go go to the little game store, tell people about it.
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:14.079
Go, go to your little, your little card store, your little wherever you go play Warhammer, wherever you go play DD, you play Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, or whatever.
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:16.079
Do people still play Yu-Gi-Oh! I don't know.
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:26.079
Go tell, go say, go kick in the door with your freaking steel-toe boots, and you say, Everybody, and you tell them about the show, and great, great, great detail.
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:30.800
Just enough to get them interested in it, but not too much to spoil everything.
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:32.480
Nobody likes a spoiler.
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:32.960
Okay.
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:36.000
Anyway, uh, I will let y'all go.
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:40.960
Have a wonderful, beautiful, amazing rest of your week.
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:42.400
We'll be in touch.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:48.479
Hello, everybody.
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:49.119
Hi.
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:50.719
Good day, sir.
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.640
Where did we leave off in the last episode?
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:03.520
We left off at the house of the sheriff, and it was across the street from 1213 Emmerhurst.
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:04.799
Yes, across the street.
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:05.680
Not at.
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.200
You left it in front of the computer.
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:13.760
Yep.
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:25.359
So um Augustine, Bigsy, Bertie, and Tate went and took on a big old gaggle of baddies.
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.760
Including the sheriff.
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.480
Zorson's a little messed up.
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:31.840
Very messed up.
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:33.760
Kind of can't breathe.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.840
Like you guys feel like he needs to see a doctor, like, pretty soon.
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:38.719
Yeah.
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.599
Uh everybody but the sheriff is dead.
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.319
And the sheriff is like dead.
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.640
He's like barely alive.
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:56.159
That's where we left off.
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:57.359
Yep.
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.920
Uh Fontaine got his hand bit.
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.959
Oh, I forgot that.
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:04.000
Yeah.
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:10.560
He went uh because the sheriff tried to bite down on the pill and he threw his threw his hand in his mouth.
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:12.800
And he punched him a bunch in the face.
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:13.360
Tate.
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.280
Took the pill out of his mouth.
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:18.400
Small lead capsule.
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:18.960
Yeah.
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.360
You found something.
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:26.240
A bill fold on the sheriff with notes and a divisio badge.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:26.719
Yep.
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.719
Numero 31.
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.639
There's 30 more of these pricks.
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:36.639
At least.
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:38.879
29 now.
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.360
29 now.
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:42.159
Oh, that's good.
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:43.120
Yeah, I like that.
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:44.639
Believe you me.
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.039
Yep, so we did that.
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.719
Um Zorsen is gravely injured.
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:56.560
Uh, everybody else is largely unscathed, except uh uh, like you said, Augustine.
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:57.439
What's his last name again?
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:58.639
August Fontaine.
00:02:58.800 --> 00:02:59.759
August Fontaine.
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:07.360
Uh so Fontaine's hand is bit, the sheriff is barely alive, and all of his cronies are D E D dead.
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:08.159
Yep.
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:16.960
With any medical knowledge or whatever of time period, is the sheriff savable?
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.319
No, I think last time I said I'm turning this up a little bit.
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.240
He is like death's door, right?
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.159
He'll he might be alive for another like few hours, but there's no saving him.
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.360
He's taken a bullet to the stomach, he took a bullet to the thigh, he took a beating to the head.
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:41.599
Um I'm gonna carry over a role from last episode.
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.639
I think you rolled like an okay medical check of some kind, right?
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:45.840
Like a first aid or something.
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:46.319
Yeah.
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.919
Um carrying that over into this present session.
00:03:52.319 --> 00:04:04.159
Uh you might be able to get him like awake for like a few minutes, but it's like, especially for this time period, there's there's, you know, you're not gonna do a blood transfusion at a hospital, right?
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:05.520
Like he's done.
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:10.639
You're not gonna do like in-depth surgery to his fucking intestines and pull out the bullet fragments, you know.
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.960
He's this guy's like, it's yeah, he's dead.
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.840
Uh I mean, this is the world of the occult.
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:26.639
Uh well speaking of the occult, uh, Bertie is going to reach into his breast pocket and pull out the last infused green gem.
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:28.399
He already gave it to Zwerson.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.519
Damn it.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.759
He threw it on him last episode.
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:41.279
He said he, because Wilson was like on the couch, like, and he was like, here, might be the wrong time of day, but hope this helps.
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:42.160
Yes, okay.
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.160
And there were no gems on the sheriff or any of his lackeys.
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.519
They have found none.
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.639
Bertie, why don't you search the house for any of those gems quick?
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:51.680
I'm on it.
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:54.000
Yes, sir.
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:54.800
I'm on it.
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:55.519
Maybe I'll back.
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.160
Yeah, I heard that right away.
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.279
Maybe I'll back if there's anything that they were digging lately.
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.040
Yeah, I'll do uh I'll do a good search here.
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.120
And keep an eye out for any other stragglers that may or may not be around.
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:18.720
Birdie's gonna go, he's gonna start methodically searching the house from top to bottom, and then after that, the yard.
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.439
Is Fontaine and Swenson still there?
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:35.839
Yeah, Zworson's laying on the couch in the like living room area, holding his throat with one hand and and kind of gesturing with the other Fontaine's kneeling next to him, making sure he's okay.
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.800
Fontaine, you think you get him to a doctor?
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:40.560
Uh yeah, I can get him.
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.480
Ah shit, I need to see one too.
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:50.240
He shakes his hand, which has you know big teeth marks and blood oozing down, not like gushing blood or anything, you know, like a like a tooth.
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.279
Teeth, a jaw bit down on his on his hand.
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.519
Let me wrap that for you quick before you go, though.
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:56.240
Ah, thanks.
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:01.759
Appreciate it.
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.560
Uh yeah, how about I'll take him into town right away?
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:08.319
You guys search the place.
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.720
Uh I'll be straight back.
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.279
I'll just take uh take a few horses with.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:14.879
Sounds good.
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.480
Old fashioned weird.
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:17.600
Yeah.
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.040
See if we can't make it back for this one.
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:22.480
We'll nod his head.
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.360
How much time do you think you got with that one?
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.839
A few hours if we're lucky.
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.720
More if the gem somehow works.
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:33.680
Alright.
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.079
I'm gonna take Zwarson here.
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.480
Uh I'll be back.
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:40.720
Well, maybe I wait with him.
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.240
Yeah, you should meet me at the hospital.
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:45.439
Doctor, whatever.
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.040
Alright, yeah, we'll find you.
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.439
Whatever the nicest one is in town, that's where we'll be.
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:50.240
I don't know what it's called.
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:51.600
All right.
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:52.959
Uh good luck.
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.040
You stay here with him, I'm gonna start upstairs.
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:58.560
Works for me.
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.800
Tate will search just the surroundings of the room that they're into.
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.680
Roll your dice, gentlemen.
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.439
95 over 73.
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:10.160
Fail.
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.720
44 under 67.
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:14.319
Critical success.
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:15.439
Really?
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:16.399
Yes, sir.
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:24.079
Fontaine leans down, gets Zorsen upright, arm around his shoulder, he takes him out to the carriage, puts him in the back.
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.720
They start, he's still got his gun in his hand.
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.560
And even when he's on, you know, it's it's uh when he's on the cart, it's right there on his thigh.
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:33.680
He's just holding it there.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.120
Not letting that thing go.
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:49.759
There's dust floating all around, particles illuminated by beams traveling through holes in the walls, bullet holes coming in, going out, broken glass, crunches underfoot.
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:56.160
In some areas where there's more blood, the glass sticks to the bottom of their boots for just a moment before falling off.
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.560
Uh Bertie, you're searching the upstairs?
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.319
I'm starting upstairs, yes.
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:02.079
And you're downstairs.
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:02.959
Uh yeah.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.519
Staying where I can see the sheriff, though.
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:11.519
The upstairs, Bertie, seems to have a hand couple.
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.079
It has a couple like bedrooms.
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:18.000
This is a big-ish house, you know, not huge, right?
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:19.600
But a couple bedrooms.
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.480
Each bedroom has a few beds.
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:23.360
Twins.
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:24.319
Three apiece.
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.839
Some of them seem to have been used recently, some of them not so much.
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.200
There is a lot of dust in the air, but there's certain areas that seem used more than others.
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.279
There's footlockers, uh, some of which have locks, some of which are unlocked.
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:44.000
Digging through them, you find clothes, uh, standard like civilian attire, right?
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.919
No, no uniform or anything like that.
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:54.799
In some of them, you find ammunition, a handgun, uh, ring of keys, cash, notebook, stuff like that.
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:56.960
Very, you know, standard issue.
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:06.799
One of the rooms is kind of an office space where there's notebooks, journals, but none of them are filled out.
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.720
What did what was your role?
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.720
Uh it was uh 95 over 73 fail.
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:14.159
That's what he finds.
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:20.799
Uh Bertie will like sift through the the notebooks and the lockers, and you know, he's gonna do a thorough job.
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:21.279
Yeah.
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.759
But uh, yep, he's that's what he's doing for a while.
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:29.759
It looks like a staging area for for like a small group of people that are like posted to an you know what I mean?
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.759
In the basement, or not the basement, I'm sorry, in the first floor, Clay is searching.
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.720
There's a dining area, a living area, there's the kitchen.
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:46.960
It's fully stocked with pots and pans and plates and silverware and all that.
00:09:47.200 --> 00:10:00.639
It's all very utilitarian, very basic stuff, but it looks like this house would be able to hold, you know, a family or a handful of operatives.
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:07.759
One of the rooms that he finds is a it looks like a work area.
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.519
Like there's a tool bench and toolboxes and whatnot.
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.200
There's a little bit of scrap here and there, there's a little bit of dirt on the floor.
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.320
Looks like this is used semi-regularly, but there's tools, right?
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:25.919
There's some shovels, there's some wrenches, some old-fashioned screwdrivers, right?
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:27.600
Hand crank drills.
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:33.360
He goes to grab one of the handles of a screwdriver.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.120
He grabs one of the screwdrivers.
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:40.960
And back then they didn't have like the the uh flat sides, you know what I mean?
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.799
They were kind of just like it's just like a ball with like a piece of metal sticking out the end of it.
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:59.519
He's looking around and he just grabs one of these and looks at it, and he sees a little bit of a line around the metal toward the base, and it makes him think he grabs it and realizes it's loose.
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:05.519
The handle is loose a little bit to the the screw, and he pulls it out.
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.120
This ain't right.
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.919
And a small piece of paper rolled up, coiled up inside the handle, falls out.
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.639
Opens it up and reads it.
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.480
It is a cipher like code.
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.799
Looking at it, he feels like he could decrypt what they found on the sheriff in his bill fold.
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.360
I think I have a little something, Bertie.
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.919
Tate's gonna head back to the sheriff.
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:34.720
Heading back to where the sheriff sat and taking a seat, he'll pull the notebook out.
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.120
The sheriff is like breathing, but it's slow and labored.
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.200
You got a paper, a pen, uh, a pencil, a quill up there, anything?
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:44.639
I got all sorts of stuff, man.
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.679
I'll bring down something.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.000
Once Bertie brings it down, Tate will take it, lay it out.
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.279
I found a I think it's their code.
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:54.000
Oh.
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:59.200
And he'll start working between the two and trying to write out the journal.
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.320
With any luck, Bertie, this will tell us something useful.
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:02.639
Oh.
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.840
Birdie's gonna look over his shoulder to see if he can't help decipher it.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:13.519
Roll an intelligence check, and this is gonna determine how long it takes you to decrypt uh the documents.
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.120
86 over 85.
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.600
23 under 85.
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.759
You could luck that one and pass.
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.320
Uh, if you're lucky, I'm I'm good with it.
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:33.039
There's a fan of the show that messaged me, and I hope someday he gets to this episode, but he's he's in chapter two, and he DM'd me.
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:40.799
He said, Tate just used six points of luck to find out that it's weird for a right-handed person to write with their left.
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:44.559
Like, yeah.
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.279
When you use that, do you spend it like completely?
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:53.679
Yeah, it's permanently gone unless some special act of God type of thing happens to rejuvenate your luck.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:59.519
Uh you know, I'm not really making heads or tails of this.
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:02.159
Why don't you check out back, give me some quiet?
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.159
I think I'm getting it pretty good.
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:04.879
All right.
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:06.799
Well, I'll go out back then.
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.360
So you rolled successfully.
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.120
So each document is gonna take about 30 minutes to decrypt.
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.240
They're not very long, but it is a complicated code, right, to break down.
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.600
Yeah, I would have beaten a hard check.
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:22.960
I'm not giving you a bonus.
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:23.840
I rolled very good.
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:24.960
Maybe I'd give you a bonus.
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.320
Give me a little bonus.
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:28.080
60 seconds.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:29.360
Taken off.
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.159
Taken off of each page.
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:33.519
Oh, yeah, there you go.
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.279
Takes you 29 minutes.
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:42.559
So there's uh you imagine playing a game that crunchy where that one minute matters that much.
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.080
Um no, thank you.
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:49.360
So one of the pieces slips of paper has one like note.
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.200
It has one like message.
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:56.960
The second piece of paper has two messages with a one message with a space in between it, right?
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:58.240
So in total, there's three.
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.720
One, the third is very short.
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:07.519
Now, it's gonna take about 30 minutes per document, the last one being shorter, so we'll say 10 minutes.
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.360
So that's uh you know, 70 minutes right there.
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.600
He starts with the shortest one.
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:15.679
10 minutes go by.
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:22.399
Shipment received, funds inbound, send confirmation of next shipment.
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.759
Then he works on to the next shortest.
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.039
The sheriff gurgles a little bit.
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:33.039
There's a blood dripping down the side of his face, his mouth.
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.279
I mean, there's nothing he can do.
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:41.679
So he just maybe wipes some of the blood, sees if he's waking up.
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.480
He's choking on the he's like choking on the blood right now.
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:44.799
Oh, okay.
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.840
Because his head is upright.
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.679
Yeah, then he puts him in a position and tries to clear that.
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.320
Okay.
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:52.639
Glad you thought about that before.
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.799
Well, you just said just gurgle.
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.120
I mean.
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.360
Well, because you gotta go, you gotta check on him, right?
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.960
You don't check on him, there's consequences.
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:00.240
But you checked on him, so there you go.
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.960
Turn his head to the side, kind of wipe his blood a little bit.
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:04.399
Thirty minutes go by.
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:05.360
Message two.
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.840
Be on lookout for a man.
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:13.600
Calls himself Jay Callaway, leader of growing organization.
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:17.200
May be of interest to us.
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:31.759
Reported to be tall, southern accent, pink flower on chest, white attire, potential risk, high level.
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.240
Notify div 10.
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:38.720
Can you say that over slowly?
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.159
Yeah, when he's done writing, I'll say it again.
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:43.120
I got it.
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.480
You got all that?
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.799
Um, in Spark notes.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.440
Alright.
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:53.279
I'm I'm gonna post this in our like OPP Discord or I'll just email it to us, whatever.
00:15:53.360 --> 00:16:00.240
But I'll say it again for the audience, so cut that last slow bit, but be on lookout for a man.
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:06.799
Calls himself Jay Callaway, leader of a growing organization, may be of interest to us.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:15.360
Reported to be tall, southern accent, pink flower on chest, white attire, potential risk, level high.
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:17.200
Notify div 10.
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.320
That is the same guy that gave the books.
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.279
Tall man, southern accent, dressed white.
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:32.399
Same guy in the book that gave the book to that kid.
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:33.759
Claudie's smiling.
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.000
Like I actually put something together for once.
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:39.279
You're smiling at me because you're proud of yourself for putting that together.
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.000
Well, when I heard Jay Calloway, that was super familiar.
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:44.639
I was trying to think of where that was from.
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.440
I don't remember where the Jay Calloway was from.
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.159
It just sounds really familiar, but I remember the the description.
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:54.000
I don't think I've ever said that to you guys before.
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:54.879
I don't know.
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.399
It just sounds really familiar.
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:56.799
Well.
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.320
Could be like deja vu or whatever that that stuff's called.
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:01.440
30 minutes go by.
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:02.720
That's your message.
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:05.119
Third message, final one.
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:06.640
Sheriff's still doing good.
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:07.279
Ish.
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.079
He clears it again.
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:14.880
Burps him a little.
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:15.440
Oh.
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.160
Third message, final one.
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.720
High value.
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:22.079
High value.
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.400
Danger elevated.
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.680
Confirmed.
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.319
Protective movement activated.
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.000
Urgent movement.
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.359
Standby.
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:33.680
Visitor likely.
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.279
Black feather.
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:40.160
Roll does that mean anything to you, Bertie Johnson?
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:45.440
Uh Bertie is reading the notes that Clay has deciphered.
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:56.480
And the black feather makes him think of crows and the hag and uh let's see.
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:04.559
Maybe that wandering Wraith out of the mists that was helping out uh Creedmore.
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.400
Yeah, but Tavisio wouldn't have killed Creedmoor if they were helping him.
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:17.279
I rolled a 63 under 85 for intelligence.
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:20.640
What was his uh intelligence check?
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:21.839
His intuition?
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:22.799
Yes.
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.079
To see if he to see if that made any sense.
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:27.440
What did he roll?
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.599
Uh 63 under 85.
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:30.079
Okay.
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:33.279
So yes.
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:35.599
He's got all that.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:40.000
But it also reminds him a little bit, right?
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.920
Intuition is not necessarily like a super logical thing.
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:52.160
Always, but he it reminds him of when he had the dream where he got the address from.
00:18:52.400 --> 00:19:01.039
Black feather reminds him of that shorter person, that dream that he had where he got the address.
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:06.160
Something about Black Feather makes him think of that shorter figure.
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.480
This third note here.
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.559
Yeah, I'm kind of Black Feather and Crows.
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.480
We've seen a lot of crows, haven't we?
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:15.440
Yeah.
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:24.640
Well, the vision I had that showed me the address, you know, the 1123 uh Elmsworth or wherever the heck we're at right now.
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.279
Let me consult my across the street from it.
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:28.400
Yeah, Amherhurst.
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:30.160
1213 Amherst.
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:44.000
Well, that vision that I had, uh, I saw the sheriff talking to a shorter fellow that kind of seemed to be wreathed in black a bit, and I don't know, reading that note kind of makes me think of that person.
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:46.480
I think I think they might be talking about them.
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:54.319
If I'm looking at this right, Tate still looks over at the sheriff real quick, looks back.
00:19:54.559 --> 00:20:03.359
If I if I'm taking anything out of this, the black feather and the crows, that's divisio.
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:04.960
Hmm.
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:06.559
So you think the crows are divisio?
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:13.599
This one here says div ten, and I'm thinking most of these letters coming from the same person because it's the same cipher.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.319
And if I'm looking over here, this Jay Cutler fella.
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:19.440
Callaway?
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:20.880
Jay Callaway.
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.480
Tall man, dressed in all white, southern accent.
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.160
The flower on his lapel.
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:34.640
That's the same guy that gave that uh magic book to our uh buddy from a few weeks back.
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:39.039
Oh yeah, out in uh out in uh where were we, Michigan?
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:39.920
White round.
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:40.799
Yeah, white round.
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:42.319
Yeah, White Round, Michigan.
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:42.960
Mm-hmm.
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.000
And now putting a few things together with it.
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:54.000
When that boy that got that book was hiding out in the woods, a crow told me where he was at.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.039
Hmm.
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:02.559
So So you think I think we're stuck behind some sort of triangle here, at least last episode.
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:11.200
At least last investigation, where this cutler fella.
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:20.400
Callaway Callaway fella, that they think is super dangerous, and I'm led to believe the same, appeared and gave a book.
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:28.640
Divisio assumably didn't have anybody in the area, and was leading us on the chase to stop him.
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.000
So you think Divisio was pulling our strings.
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:36.880
Not our strings, but I think they were using us because we were there.
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:39.279
Well, wouldn't that be the same as pulling our strings?
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.319
But now we're on to them a little more so.
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:43.039
Hmm.
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:55.440
I think uh reception that we got at this house wasn't because the the CPMP was war center.
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:59.839
The other guy was here, I think looking at this, danger imminent, prepare, whatever.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:00.799
Or whatever.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.359
Right?
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:02.880
That was probably pretty recent.
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.559
Same with your vision.
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:05.359
Hmm.
00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:10.480
So you think they were these fellas up here in this house were preparing to meet Callaway.
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.680
And I think Callaway might still be on his way.
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:25.039
So not only do we got a big pit of nothing spitting out evil gems and a bunch of other hoodoo over at um Short Tree?
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.440
No.
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:26.400
Sierriton.
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.160
Over at Sierriton.
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.160
But we also got a third party here.
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:35.839
Or is I mean, is Divisio a part of Sierra T?
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.240
Are they for it or against it?
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:38.960
Is it a good idea?
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:40.640
I think they're working with it.
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:46.400
Okay, so they're they're buying what they're selling and leaving them alone in the meantime.
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.200
Okay.
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:52.480
It's kind of it's it's it's its own uh ecosystem of sorts, I think.
00:22:52.720 --> 00:23:04.960
Well, we do know that Davisio uh up at uh um Apollo's cradle were looking to harness the the power of them floating orbs, putting out all the heat.
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.039
Now they found something else.
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:09.839
Now we find another resource that they're tapping into.
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:25.839
So if we think about Divisio in a certain light, they are an organization out looking to harness the potential of a bunch of these uh, you know, metaphysical phenomena.
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:44.079
And this Callaway fella is looking to I don't know, spread spread something, spread evil, or maybe people do his cause, because it says he's got a growing organization.
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:55.599
So maybe this Callaway fella is a part of a different organization like Divisio, but maybe with different goals in mind.
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:58.640
I think Callaway's leading his own organization.
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:00.799
Well, let's let's read these in order, right?
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:09.200
First one, first one's just about receiving a shipment, um, payments inbound, sending funds for next shipment, right?
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:13.200
That's just uh that's just a you know, what am I looking for here?
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.400
Like an invoice slash pack and slip almost, right?
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.599
Like a receipt.
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.680
Just some communication back and forth.
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.319
Yep.
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:27.440
Second one, be on lookout for a man calls himself Jay Callaway, leader of growing organization.
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:31.519
Now, could that organization have spawned from Divisio?
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:34.000
Is it completely independent of Divisio?
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:36.079
A lot of questions we don't know the answers to.
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.480
Being on the lookout, I take it, independent.
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:50.720
It's if you look at this last one, that he's expected, danger's imminent, I think they're scared of this Callaway fellow.
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.960
Makes you wonder what happened for them to feel that way.
00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:09.759
If he can get that magic evil book, that demon book from last time, so easily and give it away and teach someone how to use it, I think he might know a little bit more than what uh this pistol here can do.
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:15.759
You also you noted on on this earlier, the crow helped you track down the kid.
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:16.559
Yep.
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.920
And Callaway, presumably, is the person who gave the kid the book.
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:22.799
Yep.
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:26.319
That would what is that?
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.759
That that's implying something there.
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:28.079
Yeah.
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:35.279
Why would they have me track down the kid if they were the ones that gave him the book or were working with Callaway?
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:55.119
So so based on that, uh, I think it's a safe assumption to say that uh the crows and whatever association is with them, which may or may not be Divisio, are not working in alignment with Callaway and the haunted books.
00:25:55.440 --> 00:26:02.480
Absolutely, and I think we're in a place where we've seen enough, we don't need to really make assumptions as much.
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.079
More of educated guess.
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:06.640
That's right, we got a hypothesis.
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:12.240
Because when we were going to the the farm, right?
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:15.200
Why was that crow telling me not to go?
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:19.440
Because it was trying to protect the interests of Divisio.
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:20.640
Makes sense to me.
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:21.200
See?
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:26.880
And who was the extra there that our uh Cream Wars friend told us about?
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:35.759
Hey, and you remember out front of the restaurant when uh when those members of the gang were messing with their buddy?
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.880
And uh and then that crow came and slammed down into the ground as like a distraction?
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.160
I think I do.
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:50.400
I mean, either A, that crow was sent down there intentionally to pull your attention away, or maybe that was the actions of Callaway as well.
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.079
Maybe Callaway's already here.
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:57.920
To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if he was here, there, and somewhere else.
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:00.319
Well, where the heck are my visions coming from?
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:02.240
This is this is true too.
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:06.960
And where'd my where'd our friend come from from last night?
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:12.960
We're thinking right now that this is we might be thinking too much in a binary sense.
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:14.720
You know, Divisio and other.
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.359
Maybe there's maybe it's way messier than that.
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.920
Maybe there's considering your bunch of players.
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:22.960
R, I guess now, backpack buddy.
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:28.480
That just appeared in the room, walked away.
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:31.359
He did say he didn't have much time.
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:33.839
So like he couldn't be there for long.
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.160
I think there's people out there that got away of being places.
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:43.759
The backpack guy with the s uh with the strangely rectangular square back yeah.
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.400
Yeah, okay.
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:46.640
And his uh coyote.
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.599
Well, still messy, still messy.
00:27:54.240 --> 00:28:03.519
But I think right now it would be a safe assumption to say we don't trust the word of crows and keep our heads on swivels for everyone else.
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.119
Yeah, and if there's a coyote around, it's probably our friend.
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.559
Until it proves otherwise, I think we can make that assumption.
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:11.200
Oh.
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:16.880
His uh his views for these next few days align them with ours at least.
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:21.279
Well, alright.
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:27.359
Yeah, I didn't find nothing upstairs, nothing too uh telling, just you know.
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:29.920
Research it pretty good, or you need me to check.
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.279
I mean, I gave it a good once over, but you know, hell.
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:34.799
Second set of eyes wouldn't hurt.
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:36.240
I can keep an eye down here if you want to go.
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:38.640
Yeah, make sure he doesn't choke on his own tongue again.
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:39.759
I got him.
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:45.519
Tate wants to check there, upstairs and outside.
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:50.480
Because we found gems buried before.
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:52.160
Okay.
00:28:53.119 --> 00:29:01.920
Uh I will say in the interest of time, that what time would it be about right now, in-game?
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:05.279
Uh we I I believe I believe we waited for Zwarsen.
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:05.839
Yep.
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.880
But that was like midday, so right?
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:10.640
I'm getting the vibes of afternoon.
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:11.680
Yeah, 3 p.m.
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:19.920
You guys traveled, you had to travel to the house, had the firefight, decoded the thing.
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:24.079
And it's been roughly an hour and a half since uh August left.
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:28.400
Yeah, searching, you search I mean, searching the place probably took at least 20 minutes right there.
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.160
Let's say it's like 3 30.
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:30.640
Done.
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:31.359
Right?
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.319
Is that fair?
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:32.880
Yeah.
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:34.400
No, 329.
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:35.200
Okay, fine.
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:37.119
It's 331.
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:38.720
Damn.
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:40.000
And two quarters.
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:41.839
He took a minute.
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:44.720
I take a minute and I giveth.
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:46.720
I giveth and I taketh.
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:48.319
But one minute.
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:51.440
Praying do how to alter the deal for.
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:52.880
Nothing less.
00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:58.799
Uh okay.
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:00.880
That was a really good conversation.
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:02.079
Uh, I think.
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.359
So good job, both of you.
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:06.319
Good chat.
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.480
It's really nice seeing you guys put.
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:12.240
I mean, this is we're culminating all 55 episodes.
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.240
55 episodes, by the way.
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.480
Do I find a gem or not?
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:20.160
In the interest of time, as you just said.
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:21.519
Oh yeah.
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.240
I did say that, didn't I?
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:30.400
Uh so uh roll roll another search check, whatever.
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:35.279
25 under 67.
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:44.799
Outside, he finds some freshly moved dirt.
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.519
This lines up with the little tool room that he found.
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:51.759
Some of the shovels had dirt on them, right?
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:53.359
There's dirt on the floor.
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:56.079
He use a shovel and dig the area.
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:57.680
He also searched upstairs.
00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:59.519
I'll say he started with the upstairs.
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:02.079
Uh he found everything that Bertie also found.
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:05.359
You know, he also found some weapons lockers too.
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:15.519
One of which has one of the weapons lockers has it can hold four rifles.
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:18.000
There's one missing.
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:21.839
Then he goes, he finds the shovel, starts digging.
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.079
Meanwhile, the sheriff and Birdie.
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:29.680
The sheriff's breathing is starting to slow.
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:31.839
His heart rate is starting to slow.
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:33.839
He looks very, very pale.
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:36.160
He looks like he could go at any minute.
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:37.599
Hey.
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:39.119
Hey.
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:40.559
Sheriff.
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:44.720
Uh, how hard are you trying to wake up?
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:45.839
You were trying to like wake him up?
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:46.319
Yeah.
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:48.240
Uh, how hard are you trying?
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:56.240
Um, I'm not going to slap him, but I am going to snap my fingers in front of his face, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to pinch his nose.
00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:57.759
Stern him wrong.
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:00.559
Got your nose.
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.920
Like uh, like, you know, like yeah, right?
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:07.039
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:15.039
Birdie, roll a luck check.
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:17.839
Not an intimidator.
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:19.519
I'm cool with either.
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:22.480
Scared me to death.
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:24.319
Scared me to life.
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:26.000
All right.
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.039
Luck check.
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:27.839
Here we go.
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.640
Fifty-six over forty-four fail.
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:35.920
You can use luck to pass.
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.440
You can't use luck to pass your luck.
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:40.559
I don't think.
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:45.759
The rules lawyer in the audience is like, uh okay.
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:48.000
So Bertie snaps.
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:49.839
All right.
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.319
Hey.
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:54.160
Sheriff, come on now.
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:56.319
This ain't no shut-eye time.
00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:59.359
I got a couple questions for you.
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:00.880
Doesn't work.
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:06.799
I wonder what you must be thinking.
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:08.160
I'm just gonna talk to him.
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:11.119
I wonder what you must be thinking there right now.
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:19.680
Slowly succumbing to the inevitable black nothingness that is death.
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.200
Was the life you chose worth it?
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:26.720
I mean, really, was it?
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:32.319
You know, playing around with gems and pits and crows and whatnot?
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:34.880
Like, was that fulfilling?
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:39.440
Or did they have some kind of hold over you that just made you a prick?
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:42.559
Because I mean, you gotta ask yourself, right?
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:47.119
You know, when it's when it's when the tab comes, right?
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.279
Like, was it worth it?
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:51.039
Did you do it everything?
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:55.200
Did you do everything the way you wanted to do it?
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:57.759
Were you coerced into everything?
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:04.799
Were you truly the master of your own domain, or were you just somebody's pawn?
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:06.799
Hey.
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:10.400
Yeah.
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:15.760
I figured you you seem like a pawn to me.
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:20.239
His eyes flick open for just a second.
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:25.599
And then he starts to kind of shake a little bit.
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.719
Looks like you're looks like you're there now, bud.
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:34.559
He's gonna roll him to his side a little bit.
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.039
Bertie gets the impression he's laughing.
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:37.679
Oh.
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:40.639
You found something funny, huh?
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:46.719
Certainly weren't in charge.
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:51.039
He's gone.
00:34:54.880 --> 00:35:00.159
Normally one would say rest in peace, but I don't think you deserve it.
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:02.880
We're just gonna light a cigarette.
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:15.599
Outside the clay digs a hole in some freshly turned soil.
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:25.599
In the bottom of a small pit, he finds nothing.
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:32.800
And a slight cool breeze creeps through his hair.
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:35.920
And that's where we'll end this episode.
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:38.880
Cool breeze.
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:22.639
If you don't, then you don't listen to these post-show things and you should be ashamed of yourself.
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:23.920
No, I'm just kidding, you shouldn't.
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:24.880
You should be proud of yourself.
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:26.639
You've come a long way and you've worked very hard.
00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:28.719
So let me tell you about our Patreon.
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:34.960
On the Patreon, we have behind-the-scenes content, deleted scenes, bloopers reel, all that jazz.
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:42.320
Uh we have old parasol offline where the guys and I just chit-chat about bullshit and whatever for hours on end.
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.480
We also have some extra shows.
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:45.840
Uh Cylinder Cycle.
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:47.840
We have many shows coming up for that.
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:49.280
We have a DD show on there.
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:55.920
We have a spin-off set in the world of Suffer Not with some characters who make a cameo in guess what?
00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:57.119
Suffer Not.
00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:59.360
And there's lots more to come.
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:04.639
Uh early access when art gets put out, and also your name gets shouted out.
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:09.679
Speaking of which, let me get a big shout out to our beautiful patrons, Crush.
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:10.960
Xander is here.
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:12.000
Canned bread.
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:13.920
We love canned bread on this program.
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:20.960
Uh Glan's Dilzig, Carter Garcia, Paul Davis, Steak, and Totoro Rose Bang Bus.
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:22.320
You already knew it.
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:23.599
Uh, what else do we have?
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:24.480
We have merch.
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:27.840
We got some new shirts, like I mentioned before, some pretty cool shirts.
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:28.719
I really like them.
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:33.280
Uh, I wear them all the time to the goth coffee shop, as I've mentioned.
00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:35.119
Uh what else?
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.679
We have prints, we have new posters that are out there too.
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:44.079
So if you really liked Apollo's cradle, or you just really like the art, man, maybe you think, dude, fucking so let it be written.
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:44.880
Sucks.
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:46.559
But I really want that on my wall.
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:47.599
Hey, that's fine.
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:48.880
Props to the artist.
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:51.440
Uh, go check his work out on Instagram.
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:52.800
Uh what else?
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:54.320
Oh, I mean, coffee mugs, whatever.
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:55.199
You get the whole thing.
00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:06.800
Uh, we also have a Discord where people can pop in, hang out, chit, chat, theorize about what's going on in the show, uh, which is predominantly what happened in this episode.
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:12.480
It was a shorter episode, uh, but I think it was really packed.
00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:20.880
I'm really happy to see uh the agents kind of start to uh at least try to piece things together.
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:37.119
We have 60-something episodes now of content and uh little little hints, little clues, little things that have come up that have been that they've seen and have sometimes kind of ignored or brushed off or walked past, which is fine.
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:44.239
But uh there is a mystery to be solved, and I think they're they're working in the right direction.
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:45.519
I'll say that.
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:51.760
Um, which is always fun to see, especially as you know, the the the GM of the game.
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:57.039
You always get like the little smile on your face you have to hide when people start to kind of you know put things together.
00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:01.440
They start to the seeds you planted start to bloom, you know.
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:06.239
Um, but besides that, what else is there?
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:12.639
Uh I'll tell you, the lady and I went and did a very fun thing over the weekend.
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:22.320
Not only did we go bowling with the friends, which of course you have to do that, uh, but we also went to this like spiritual uh like little festival thing.
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:24.960
I think it was called Insomnia Salon.
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:26.480
And it was really cool.
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:33.119
It took place on an island in the middle of the Mississippi River, and it was actually kind of kind of big.
00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:39.199
If you don't realize how big the Mississippi is at certain points, it it is a very big river, as I'm sure you can imagine.
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:41.840
So the island was not small, right?
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:44.320
Um, and it's in the middle of the river.
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:47.039
So, so, and it was kind of like sunset, right?
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:57.039
So there was music playing, there were tarot cards, there was uh like weird kind of hoodoo voodoo mystical stuff.
00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:05.280
Um, it was really good, obviously like food trucks and you know, people selling uh like CDs and t-shirts and rocks and stones and shit.
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.320
Of course, I bought a t-shirt, uh, but it was really, really cool.
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.840
It was really, really cool, especially just like the the time of day.
00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:18.079
I mean, just watching the sunset uh on the river and all these really big cool boats.
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:26.239
It was uh it was a very we'll say spiritual experience, very on brand for the type of stuff that we do here on this program known as suffer not.
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.159
Um because uh I sure wasn't suffering.
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:32.559
Um yeah, uh what else?
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:33.119
What else?
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:33.519
What else?
00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:35.280
I think that's about that's about it.
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:37.679
That's all that's been relevant outside of, you know, work.
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:41.360
I mean, God, who wants to fucking talk about work after work?
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:44.880
Oh, let's go talk about let's get off work and go talk about work.
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:47.440
Oh, fucking kill me.
00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:50.719
Kind of like the share of fate.
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:55.280
Um haha, but um, I think uh I think that'll do it.
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:57.440
I won't I won't belabor the point, you know.
00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:08.880
Uh you guys check out the Discord, check out the cool stuff on there, check out the merch on the website, check out the Discord, and uh lots of new stuff coming.
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:14.079
I'll tell you guys, it's been uh it's been fun, it's been a really fun journey.
00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:16.719
And then and there's a lot more to come.
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:24.000
I think for me, like my my work life balance, especially with the show, was really out of whack for a couple of months there.
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:30.880
And I I worry that that shows through in the final product of the show, uh, where I was just it was really struggled personally, right?
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:42.800
You know, not to like pour my heart out and whatever, but I think uh I think things are a lot better right now for me, and I'm I'm getting back into the groove, um, which God willing, right?
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:52.960
God willing will mean more beautiful, high-quality content for you guys to enjoy and uh criticize and uh chit-chat about.
00:41:53.119 --> 00:42:02.239
So, anyway, you know, my last little favor request would be leave a comment, leave a review, whatever, share the show with your friends.
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:06.159
Uh, you know, go go to the little game store, tell people about it.
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:14.079
Go, go to your little, your little card store, your little wherever you go play Warhammer, wherever you go play DD, you play Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, or whatever.
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:16.079
Do people still play Yu-Gi-Oh! I don't know.
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:26.079
Go tell, go say, go kick in the door with your freaking steel-toe boots, and you say, Everybody, and you tell them about the show, and great, great, great detail.
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:30.800
Just enough to get them interested in it, but not too much to spoil everything.
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:32.480
Nobody likes a spoiler.
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:32.960
Okay.
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:36.000
Anyway, uh, I will let y'all go.
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:40.960
Have a wonderful, beautiful, amazing rest of your week.
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:42.400
We'll be in touch.
