WEBVTT
00:00:24.975 --> 00:01:27.936
The ¶¶ ¶¶.
00:04:55.021 --> 00:05:09.672
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:05:09.672 --> 00:05:20.107
Oh, welcome fellow travelers and seekers of the unknown to the shattered realm of Vossen Slavine lands.
00:05:20.107 --> 00:05:24.418
For some reason my camera's not working.
00:05:24.418 --> 00:05:27.098
Oh it's a ghost.
00:05:27.098 --> 00:05:28.466
Spirits.
00:05:28.466 --> 00:05:34.639
I will deal with that while other people are talking.
00:05:37.088 --> 00:05:37.730
We're ghosts.
00:05:37.730 --> 00:05:39.187
We're ghosts.
00:05:39.187 --> 00:05:41.639
It's a spooky Halloween special.
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:42.482
It's gonna be spookier than usual.
00:05:42.482 --> 00:05:43.723
We've made Timothy completely disappear.
00:05:43.744 --> 00:05:45.127
Halloween special it's going to be spookier than usual.
00:05:45.127 --> 00:05:45.408
Spookier.
00:05:45.468 --> 00:05:53.983
We've made Timothy completely disappear With magic and demonic powers.
00:05:53.983 --> 00:05:55.565
That classic combo.
00:05:55.665 --> 00:06:01.375
Yes, Me at the McDonald's soda machine with the cup.
00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:12.988
It says magic demonic powers pixie dust spells curses, warlock stuff, Sprite ice and I'm just like it's a whole potion of malevolence.
00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:17.646
Yeah, it blows up in my face when the smoke clears, just top it off with Sprite.
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.526
There I am, yay Okay.
00:06:23.939 --> 00:06:26.505
Potion of turn you into a worm.
00:06:27.148 --> 00:06:28.952
Technology and a little sprite.
00:06:30.742 --> 00:06:40.850
For flavor Alright, welcome for real this time fellow travelers and seekers of the unknown, to the shadowed realm of Vossen, slavine lands.
00:06:40.850 --> 00:06:52.228
Here, the whispers of ancient legends weave through mist-shratted forests and babbling brooks, bringing to life the eerie and the enigmatic.
00:06:52.228 --> 00:07:08.459
I am Kitchy, your guide and game facilitator, leading you through this dark and mesmerizing journey In the year 1848, within the rugged and mysterious Slavine lands.
00:07:08.459 --> 00:07:16.971
We traverse a world where the boundary between the mundane and the mystical is perilously thin.
00:07:16.971 --> 00:07:31.867
As we step into this unsettling realm, we'll explore the shadows cast by industrialization and enlightenment upon a land steeped in folklore and arcane rituals.
00:07:33.370 --> 00:08:06.877
Here, amidst the crumbling halls of Pradyama Castle, our society headquarters, surrounded by the daunting majesty of the Julian Alps, the placid mysteries of countless lakes and the haunting depths of vast forests, we shall uncover the secrets of the Vossen trolls, selkie fey and other mythical beings that defy human understanding.
00:08:06.877 --> 00:08:36.692
With the sight our investigators pierce through the veil of reality, confronting ancient spirits that have lingered since time immemorial, hidden yet ever-present alongside humanity, join us as we rekindle ancient magics and face the uncanny reconnecting with a world of mystery driven by primordial laws.
00:08:36.692 --> 00:08:51.261
Brace yourselves for, in the land of the Vossen, the familiar and the fearsome dance and eternal haunting waltz With me.
00:08:51.261 --> 00:08:53.230
Today we have.
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:54.822
Stravo.
00:08:54.822 --> 00:08:59.832
I'm Chris and I'm playing Joseph Fox, a man who knows about tracks and fields.
00:09:01.640 --> 00:09:02.702
Hi, I'm Dan.
00:09:02.702 --> 00:09:10.745
I am playing the p, the pika owning vagabond luca cos hi, I'm ellie.
00:09:10.966 --> 00:09:20.389
I'm playing akakorlov, your friendly local nurse and now for a few disclaimers.
00:09:21.371 --> 00:09:24.417
All characters appearing in this work are fictitious.
00:09:24.417 --> 00:09:28.586
Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental.
00:09:28.586 --> 00:09:45.913
This actual play contains themes of violence, death, religion, sexual and potentially explicit scenes, depictions or discussions of traumatic events and other adult topics that may or not be may not be suitable for all audiences.
00:09:45.913 --> 00:09:51.227
Listener discretion is advised please take one episode.
00:09:51.248 --> 00:09:53.182
You get a bingo, sorry.
00:09:53.222 --> 00:10:07.150
No, you're fine please take care of yourselves while listening and if you find any of the content distressing, consider pausing or skipping ahead.
00:10:07.150 --> 00:10:09.826
Your well-being is important, yeah.
00:10:10.408 --> 00:10:10.609
Yeah.
00:10:11.804 --> 00:10:18.308
So let us step forward into the shadows and begin Veliko sreće.
00:10:18.308 --> 00:10:35.130
Previously, on Vášen Slavín Lands, joseph, luca and Aka follow their first lead on the drownings in Ukhans, a tall tale told by a local, niko Gussek.
00:10:35.130 --> 00:10:44.919
Eyes of red, glowing embers, a haunting melody, and the blackest soul Seemingly flourishes to scare children.
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:52.268
But what actually lurks beneath the surface of Lake Bohemia Are?
00:10:52.268 --> 00:10:58.061
Investigators set out to parse out what is truth and what is merely a tall tale.
00:10:58.061 --> 00:11:12.437
They made to turn in for the evening, but a short conversation with Evelyn Lezik confirmed one detail a haunting melody that could be heard across the lake.
00:11:12.437 --> 00:11:22.414
Unable to rest while a lead lay so neatly at their feet, they set out into the night to investigate.
00:11:22.414 --> 00:11:28.562
Out into the night to investigate.
00:11:28.562 --> 00:11:45.528
As they stood at the edge of the lake, the eerie tune began to dance across the stillness of the water, while they watched the light of a lone lantern bob in the distance, joseph led the charge along the coast to inspect, pathing them through the thicket, watching as the light disappeared into the tree line.
00:11:45.528 --> 00:11:55.083
Again, driven by the excitement of their growing weeds, they pressed further into the woods, hoping to intercept the nighttime boater.
00:11:55.083 --> 00:12:16.212
They uncovered a small cottage in a hidden clearing, but alerted the inhabitant of their presence, who promptly signaled their apprehension towards nighttime visitors by barring the door, Fearing an altercation, they decided to turn back and return to their beds for the evening.
00:12:16.212 --> 00:12:37.225
Just before finally turning in for the night, the antsy middle-aged duo, joseph and Anka, poked around the Lezik estate, uncovering details of their recent marriage and a gash on the hallway wall further sign of Jakob's rage.
00:12:38.548 --> 00:12:49.307
Wednesday morning, evelyn greeted the investigators with a nutritious breakfast and shed some light on the mysterious hermit now known as Gaspar Kosher.
00:12:49.307 --> 00:13:05.035
Their trip to Town Hall developed another local connection, katerina Novak, and revealed yet another lead a news article detailing the strange disappearance disappearance of Zoya Herkog about six years ago.
00:13:05.035 --> 00:13:08.363
Their minds aflutter with theories.
00:13:08.363 --> 00:13:16.866
Our investigators latched on to their growing story and decided to pay a visit to the Herkog estate.
00:13:16.866 --> 00:13:29.729
They were greeted by Iris, the maid, who Lucas sweet-talked into revealing key clues that built out the history which tied Jacob, zoya and Gaspar together.
00:13:29.729 --> 00:13:37.467
After disclosing her regrets to the party, she introduced them to the matron of the house, nia Hercog.
00:13:37.467 --> 00:13:47.761
Nia took quite a liking to Luca and opened up about her daughter unearthing, the source of the chilling melody they heard the night before.
00:13:47.761 --> 00:14:03.210
A lullaby sung to zoya as a child and invited them to lunch the following day we're having a salt burn summer oh my gosh, what a good reference.
00:14:03.250 --> 00:14:09.342
Yeah, basically Alright.
00:14:09.342 --> 00:14:11.529
So here you are.
00:14:11.529 --> 00:14:18.745
You have just left the Hercog estate, so World is your oyster.
00:14:18.745 --> 00:14:19.447
What are you doing?
00:14:21.989 --> 00:14:22.818
Go see the guy in the woods.
00:14:22.818 --> 00:14:24.807
Yeah, old man's cabin Might as well, yeah.
00:14:28.485 --> 00:14:29.759
Alright, same way we went last night um.
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.403
Can you each make a learning role?
00:14:33.764 --> 00:14:35.163
for me?
00:14:35.163 --> 00:14:36.822
Is it worth it for me?
00:14:36.822 --> 00:14:37.966
You?
00:14:37.985 --> 00:14:38.488
might get lucky.
00:14:38.528 --> 00:14:42.961
No, I got one success.
00:14:42.961 --> 00:14:44.528
One success, all right.
00:14:44.528 --> 00:14:44.910
And what about Aka?
00:14:44.910 --> 00:14:45.855
I got one success, one success, all right.
00:14:45.855 --> 00:14:49.870
And what about Aka?
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:57.230
No successes A full house, though I rolled six die and I got no successes.
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.106
because learning is the thing that I'm best at.
00:14:59.106 --> 00:15:02.860
We did switch out her dice as well.
00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:03.864
Did Aka get?
00:15:03.923 --> 00:15:06.613
a concussion off screen that we did not see.
00:15:06.613 --> 00:15:11.972
It's those books, those, uh, those periodicals you're, they're they're filling my head with nonsense.
00:15:12.754 --> 00:15:26.885
All of my learning is about the character dynamics yeah and then, like fan fiction, my head cannons it's a vast, expansive imaginative world up there, yeah, and I've forgotten everything else.
00:15:29.004 --> 00:15:39.811
With that one success, though Joseph is remembering a book that he picked up at one point while you were doing your research during your preparation phase.
00:15:39.811 --> 00:15:49.172
Okay, so the way that we're going to do a lot of this learning is that, as certain clues point you towards things that you read, we will reveal those handouts.
00:15:49.172 --> 00:16:01.971
So, joseph, this is the text that you came across, that is currently being recalled, based on all of the clues that you've picked up thus far.
00:16:02.192 --> 00:16:12.551
So it is a cracked leather bound book that says a field compendium of Slavic water spirits by Spella Pernat, spella.
00:16:12.811 --> 00:16:15.426
Spella yeah, great name.
00:16:16.841 --> 00:16:17.664
What a great resource.
00:16:18.106 --> 00:16:21.259
Oh man, it's even got a okay, yeah.
00:16:21.461 --> 00:16:29.988
So the way that I have designed this handout is it's just a bunch of excerpts from a larger tome that you're going to be recalling information of.
00:16:31.631 --> 00:16:31.972
Jazz.
00:16:31.972 --> 00:16:36.868
There's some gibberish in there.
00:16:36.868 --> 00:16:40.227
Okay, so I'll read through them.
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:47.144
In many lore, the conditions that result in the tainting of a soul can vary widely, but do seem a common precursor to curse spirits.
00:16:47.144 --> 00:16:51.926
In some cases, although likely of christian influence is the status of baptism of the individual.
00:16:51.926 --> 00:17:01.663
Others note of pure spirits, such as those of a virgin, being subjected to some sort of corrupting influence, like a particularly violent death or betrayal, a corruption formed of rage.
00:17:01.663 --> 00:17:18.546
Asernitsia can be identified by their dirty green hair, bony bodies and thins, whereas the Balotnitsia, with their similarly messy and unkempt, are almost sickly pale, with frog legs that are cleverly hidden beneath lily pads.
00:17:18.546 --> 00:17:30.510
Voidianoi, by some accounts, are particularly fond of tobacco, an offering that can be, oddly enough, be sprinkled at the water's edge to vie favor of these malevolent protectors.
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:37.108
Vazalki are typically portrayed as young women with long flowing hair, which is often depicted as green or waterlogged.
00:17:37.108 --> 00:17:41.852
They may have an otherworldly beauty that captivates those who encounter them.
00:17:41.852 --> 00:17:47.646
Their appearance can range from alluring and serene to pale and ghostly reflecting their tragic nature.
00:17:47.646 --> 00:18:01.029
There appears a commonality with the stories of warnings against the following of objects left along the water's edge Ribbons, mirrors and other precious items have been said to lure people to their death by spirits with an affinity for drowning.
00:18:01.029 --> 00:18:05.931
Any allure altogether should be avoided in matters of large bodies of water.
00:18:05.931 --> 00:18:13.387
Although some may say this is just poetry regarding the dangers of beautiful women, that's true.
00:18:14.170 --> 00:18:15.732
That's true.
00:18:16.361 --> 00:18:17.926
Yeah, Joseph editorializes.
00:18:18.147 --> 00:18:22.287
Yeah, whoa lore, as he has been known to do.
00:18:23.563 --> 00:18:25.809
He is such an open book in terms of his emotions.
00:18:25.809 --> 00:18:30.130
The motivations behind Rizalka's actions vary across different stories.
00:18:30.130 --> 00:18:38.549
In some folklore, rizalki are spirits of young women who have jied tragically or violently and are bound to the water as a form of punishment or unrest.
00:18:38.549 --> 00:18:43.491
In other accounts they are vengeful spirits seeking retribution for wrongs done to them in life.
00:18:43.491 --> 00:19:01.452
And the last excerpt is fear the sounds of large splashes, while alone at the water's edge voidian no, I have been said to deploy this technique to elicit further investigation while the victim's optimist seeing their beady red eyes buried in their algae covered faces just surfaced from the perches under half sunken logs.
00:19:02.522 --> 00:19:05.652
So oh, beady, red eyes We've heard about that.
00:19:05.652 --> 00:19:07.748
Yeah, in line with what we've heard so far.
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.185
That was from Nico's story, right yeah although we never really know with Nico.
00:19:11.768 --> 00:19:12.590
Yeah, that's true.
00:19:12.590 --> 00:19:23.468
Compiling what I see about the Voidianoi, it seems that Voidianoi like tobacco, which aligns with Gasper, or it's a similarity between the two.
00:19:23.468 --> 00:19:36.232
They cause lots of of splashes, beaded red eyes, but yeah, I, I hand the book to around to the to the group I don't even have the book.
00:19:36.252 --> 00:19:37.202
You're recalling it.
00:19:37.483 --> 00:19:41.420
Oh, I'm recalling it, yeah yeah, so I I write this down on a piece of paper.
00:19:41.420 --> 00:19:46.391
But yeah, I thought this might have been.
00:19:46.391 --> 00:19:48.926
It was talking about the water.
00:19:48.926 --> 00:19:49.361
I didn't know.
00:19:49.361 --> 00:19:59.451
There was some sort of relevance, but that's what I remember about these different aquatic woman monsters.
00:20:01.134 --> 00:20:01.654
Nice.
00:20:03.901 --> 00:20:10.665
Fun fact outside the game do you know that risalka, which is one of the ones in there, is the original inspiration for the little mermaid?
00:20:10.906 --> 00:20:12.450
no, that's cool.
00:20:12.450 --> 00:20:13.992
Yeah, so was it.
00:20:13.992 --> 00:20:15.362
Was it say?
00:20:15.362 --> 00:20:16.564
Is it just that she's a?
00:20:18.207 --> 00:20:25.549
she's like a water lady gotcha I mean that's a good as as good as a basis as any for the Little Mermaid.
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:33.028
There's an opera about it and then she falls in love with a prince and it doesn't work out in the end.
00:20:33.028 --> 00:20:33.931
It's tragic.
00:20:33.931 --> 00:20:35.202
Does she turn into a bird?
00:20:35.222 --> 00:20:36.605
Does she turn into a cloud.
00:20:36.605 --> 00:20:38.490
Seafoam, seafoam, seafoam.
00:20:38.490 --> 00:20:38.692
Yes.
00:20:45.161 --> 00:20:49.776
Well, I guess once we lay eyes on this lady we'll have a better idea of which one of them she might be, although by the time we lay eyes on her it may be too late.
00:20:49.776 --> 00:20:52.199
Maybe we can ask, monsieur.
00:20:52.199 --> 00:20:56.346
Cosure for more information.
00:20:57.249 --> 00:20:57.650
I hope so.
00:20:58.420 --> 00:20:59.443
I guess Monsieur is not.
00:20:59.443 --> 00:21:00.288
What's like?
00:21:00.288 --> 00:21:03.728
What's the Slovenian version of mister?
00:21:04.781 --> 00:21:05.373
I don't actually know, mister.
00:21:05.373 --> 00:21:09.847
I don't actually know I don't know, mister mister mister
00:21:14.009 --> 00:21:28.924
yes, yes, I hear great all right to the old man's house, to the woods for those of you who failed your um memory tests.
00:21:30.189 --> 00:21:34.973
Uh, so sorry there was no surprise.
00:21:34.973 --> 00:21:36.659
We're holding hands in the back and skipping.
00:21:38.442 --> 00:22:01.773
I read a lot don't remember any of it I remember reading this like, like spell, that is like for offerings for water spirits, but unsure the details of it and Akka's remembering that at some point she did come across an excerpt about protection spells that could potentially be useful.
00:22:01.874 --> 00:22:04.864
But Didn't look very closely.
00:22:04.864 --> 00:22:05.946
No, didn't think very closely.
00:22:05.946 --> 00:22:07.030
No, didn't think it was relevant.
00:22:07.030 --> 00:22:09.503
I had a new periodical to check out.
00:22:12.189 --> 00:22:14.854
All right, yosef Joseph Yep, do you want to lead us?
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:17.484
I shall retrace her tracks.
00:22:17.986 --> 00:22:18.807
With Rudy's help.
00:22:18.807 --> 00:22:21.092
Yes, indeed, he's such a good dog he.
00:22:21.800 --> 00:22:23.247
This is his zone.
00:22:23.247 --> 00:22:29.965
He's been keyed in for this particular leg of the journey because otherwise he's just been like hanging around.
00:22:29.965 --> 00:22:39.186
But now he's on the hunt a hunt for an old man in a cabin so we are coming uh up to like northwestern edge of town.
00:22:39.247 --> 00:23:01.851
Um, you know from your late night walk uh that the um cottage is up in this region just past past the old watchtower.
00:23:01.851 --> 00:23:10.818
So, as you like, yes, okay.
00:23:11.038 --> 00:23:12.321
I had to look at the map a little bit.
00:23:13.405 --> 00:23:22.367
So, as you are making your way up through here, you're gonna be passing the old inn, which is a an older wooden structure.
00:23:23.189 --> 00:23:26.634
You can tell that the roof has gone into disrepair.
00:23:26.634 --> 00:23:56.535
There's probably some leaking inside, but it does seem to be to have been at one point a very like large tavern space, very like open concept structure where they could have held quite large festival type um activities, noise, um, and this is really where you're getting to the edge of town.
00:23:56.535 --> 00:24:07.055
So at this point the sounds of all the townsfolk have kind of died out, um, and you're pretty much left with just the sounds of the forest.
00:24:07.055 --> 00:24:32.000
So today is a somewhat windier day than the stillness that you had encountered the day before, and so you hear the rustling of leaves and the swelling of cicadas, as you are kind of immersing yourself deeper into that like musky piney scent of the forest.
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:37.230
And how would you like to approach?
00:24:37.230 --> 00:24:45.729
Would you like to try to retrace your steps from the coastline or would you like to try to approach from the main road?
00:24:45.729 --> 00:24:57.035
Um, understanding about where you ran into the, the cottage the night before probably either.
00:24:57.195 --> 00:25:03.006
Either path is fine, but maybe would arouse less suspicion if we came from the main road.
00:25:04.067 --> 00:25:09.255
Yeah, since we're not planning on doing stealth this time, we're just going to try and talk to him normally.
00:25:09.355 --> 00:25:12.143
Yeah, are Pika and Broody with you?
00:25:12.143 --> 00:25:15.429
By the way, pika is Broody is yeah, pika and Broody?
00:25:15.469 --> 00:25:15.568
are?
00:25:15.568 --> 00:25:17.291
Pika, comes with me Dog squad Everywhere.
00:25:17.592 --> 00:25:19.300
I just want to make sure Dog squad Dog squad.
00:25:19.300 --> 00:25:21.865
You mean to leave that jacob's?
00:25:21.945 --> 00:25:31.596
I know we didn't really establish that man to take care of my dog not at all but evelyn's a evelyn's a housewife yeah, but jacob was like a dog abuser.
00:25:31.656 --> 00:25:38.949
He's a people abuser and so he's probably not above hitting a dog fair point, yeah all right.
00:25:39.229 --> 00:25:48.365
So I believe we do, excuse me, I believe we do an investigation check.
00:25:48.365 --> 00:25:50.940
Is that what we've been doing to way find?
00:25:51.843 --> 00:25:52.727
or was it vigilance?
00:25:54.384 --> 00:26:00.079
no, vigilance is like anti-stealth mechanic yeah, I think it's investigation it's been investigation.
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:04.690
So Joseph can do that.
00:26:04.690 --> 00:26:06.759
You get your extra dice from broody.
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.119
I think that gives you like what?
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:19.584
9, 10, 13 50 dice, that's surprisingly no successes no successes.
00:26:19.584 --> 00:26:20.748
I'm only good.
00:26:20.748 --> 00:26:25.207
Well, the failsafe is that we know the path from what we took the back way.
00:26:25.568 --> 00:26:27.903
Yeah, but if we get lost?
00:26:30.190 --> 00:26:30.411
Wow.
00:26:30.811 --> 00:26:30.932
Oh.
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:32.625
We're about to find out what happens.
00:26:32.625 --> 00:26:33.347
I guess we'll find out.
00:26:33.548 --> 00:26:36.387
Yeah, this is what I get for trying to do something new.
00:26:37.089 --> 00:26:38.905
Yeah, Just stuck with old reliable.
00:26:38.905 --> 00:26:44.387
Can't believe you were able to find your way in the dark through the woods at night and now that we're trying to take the main road.
00:26:44.428 --> 00:26:47.854
Yeah, you know, sometimes just life is backwards, like that.
00:26:48.881 --> 00:26:50.647
I'm a man of the woods, not a man of the roads.
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:54.348
What is this weird black river that I see Asphalt?
00:26:56.060 --> 00:26:57.205
It's flat, it's clear.
00:26:58.181 --> 00:27:00.569
I need, rushes, I need branches.
00:27:01.661 --> 00:27:03.126
There are no landmarks here.
00:27:04.881 --> 00:27:32.023
So you press into the thicket, yeah, and you start making your way deeper into the forest in the direction that you remember the cottage being, and you begin to cross paths with several footpaths and potentially animal, deer formed paths, little trails through the woods, um.
00:27:32.023 --> 00:28:11.730
And as you are pressing deeper and you start to follow some of these, looking for signs of human travel Boot boot, boot, boot prints, boot prints, boot prints, boot prints in the dirt, that smoother wearing of the earth that comes from the way that humans walk, as opposed to deer and other animals, and you find yourself struggling to pick up the correct path.
00:28:11.730 --> 00:28:30.382
So you're traveling in the correct um direction, um, at least in that general direction, but you're having a hard time locating the pathway that gasper would be taking did he move his house when we left last night?
00:28:30.982 --> 00:28:32.747
because I can't seem to find it.
00:28:32.747 --> 00:28:37.622
I would be impressed if he did, but I don't think he could have right.
00:28:38.683 --> 00:28:43.010
That was just a joke, oh oh, such a dry sense of humor.
00:28:43.672 --> 00:28:45.275
Like a summer field.
00:28:46.701 --> 00:29:00.726
So you find yourself about 10 minutes into the woods leading to the northeast from the main road and you start to have the sense that you should have reached it by now.
00:29:00.726 --> 00:29:15.221
Regardless of being able to find the path, the correct pathway, that at least your general bearings would have put you in that general location, you would could have picked up additional signs.
00:29:15.221 --> 00:29:21.813
Um, can you give me another investigation check test?
00:29:21.952 --> 00:29:24.490
is this to be able to find if we can get it back out again.
00:29:24.490 --> 00:29:27.747
I'm imagining 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
00:29:28.403 --> 00:29:31.567
If we could find our way to the lake we're looking for signs.
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:42.422
So, basically, what is happening right now is that you're heading in the general direction because you haven't been able to locate the pathway that Gasper takes.
00:29:43.285 --> 00:30:01.144
So right now you're trying to look for signs of human activity in their region it's another failure that's help you bring you closer to that focal point we're about to get got by a forest spirit, we're about to run into a whole different boss and just from getting so fucking lost, yeah, I.
00:30:01.285 --> 00:30:09.768
That's another nine failures, all right so you're at a point where you're like, okay, at this, at at this point, I should be close.
00:30:09.768 --> 00:30:14.121
So I'm going to start looking for some other signs of human activity.
00:30:14.121 --> 00:30:22.986
Maybe there's traps that he set around this area, maybe there are other pathways that he's taken, um, maybe he has a little hunting fort, um.
00:30:22.986 --> 00:30:28.214
And you start looking for these types of things and you come up with a loss.
00:30:28.214 --> 00:30:35.713
Everything in your immediate vicinity seems relatively untouched by people.
00:30:38.761 --> 00:30:46.728
Sorry folks, I really can't explain why this is happening now, when I did so well last night.
00:30:46.728 --> 00:30:54.296
But I'd be on your guard because something feels wrong about these trees right now.
00:30:54.740 --> 00:30:57.306
Is it because we're heading east, I have trouble heading west.
00:30:57.306 --> 00:30:59.066
I get confused by it.
00:30:59.619 --> 00:31:01.227
Yeah, that must be it.
00:31:01.500 --> 00:31:02.763
Yeah, that sounds about right.
00:31:03.105 --> 00:31:04.528
It's the magnetic fields.
00:31:04.749 --> 00:31:05.652
That's what I've been told.
00:31:05.652 --> 00:31:13.546
Yeah, luca gives a really like blank stare okay, maybe we should head.
00:31:14.847 --> 00:31:19.013
Can I see any part of the sky or is it total tree cover?
00:31:19.013 --> 00:31:21.102
Yeah, you can see part of the sky.
00:31:21.102 --> 00:31:24.288
Can I try to figure out like what direction I'm headed?
00:31:24.450 --> 00:31:31.942
still, because maybe we should just head back to town.
00:31:31.942 --> 00:31:36.569
Yeah, maybe if we can get to the shore of the lake we can follow it around.
00:31:36.589 --> 00:31:39.214
I'm going to try my best to find east.
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:42.741
Yeah, that's easy for you to do.
00:31:42.741 --> 00:31:44.284
You can easily pick a direction and go.
00:31:44.284 --> 00:31:51.634
The task that you are failing at is locating the exact bearings of a cottage in the middle of the woods.
00:31:51.634 --> 00:31:52.756
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
00:31:52.756 --> 00:31:56.089
There's nothing that's preventing you from seeing where the sun is at.
00:31:56.089 --> 00:31:59.930
You know it's about noon or, at this point, probably a little past noon.
00:31:59.930 --> 00:32:06.326
Yeah, so you can at least find the south.
00:32:06.326 --> 00:32:09.451
Yeah, um, pretty easily.
00:32:09.451 --> 00:32:14.380
Once you know where south is, you can figure out the rest of the cardinal directions and go from there.
00:32:17.486 --> 00:32:40.650
Uh, so you, you said you wanted to head to the coastline or back towards the main road, just to the coast back to the coast so, after about 15 minutes more of walking through the woods, you do make your way back to the coast line, um, and as you approach you are able to find your bearings a little bit more.
00:32:40.650 --> 00:32:49.374
So you, because you did this pathway last night where you walked up the coastline and you figured out and you knew where on the coast that light went in.
00:32:49.374 --> 00:33:02.230
So as you reach the coastline, you do realize that you hit a little bit south of where you had originally picked up his pathway, gotcha, um.
00:33:02.230 --> 00:33:05.645
So you can trace that back up the coastline if you would like.
00:33:05.645 --> 00:33:12.904
So, heading up north to the coastline, to where you remember dipping into the woods the previous night.
00:33:12.904 --> 00:33:17.458
And now give me one more investigation, check.
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:18.703
You got this.
00:33:19.346 --> 00:33:21.163
Is there anything we could do to help?
00:33:21.163 --> 00:33:32.339
If you would like to do a help action, you can I just don't know what Akka could possibly do that would be helpful in this situation.
00:33:32.682 --> 00:33:34.008
Well, you're in tune.
00:33:34.008 --> 00:33:39.068
You keep records of In your notebook the bird and the newt that you'd found.
00:33:39.068 --> 00:33:39.691
That's true.
00:33:39.691 --> 00:33:43.266
Maybe you recalled you saw like a bird at night.
00:33:43.306 --> 00:33:46.594
You were like oh, I heard an owl call or something.
00:33:48.201 --> 00:33:51.134
Okay, so that's one, two, that's two successes Nice.
00:33:51.153 --> 00:33:51.315
Okay.
00:33:53.843 --> 00:33:55.107
I knew I had to get back to this boat.
00:33:55.107 --> 00:33:57.205
It all stems from the boat path.
00:33:57.205 --> 00:33:58.611
You smell the tobacco.
00:33:58.611 --> 00:34:02.250
You get the sense from the, the oppressiveness of the, of the.
00:34:04.344 --> 00:34:06.849
I yes just never should have tried to take a different path.
00:34:06.849 --> 00:34:08.521
If it ain't broke, don't fix it exactly.
00:34:09.101 --> 00:34:12.688
Stick with what you know all right.
00:34:13.708 --> 00:34:23.942
So you make your way back up north and, sure enough, you find that large shrub uh, that you had come across the previous night, the one.
00:34:23.942 --> 00:34:31.271
The path was tucked just behind and in the daylight it's so much more obvious.
00:34:31.271 --> 00:34:59.233
It is a clearly trudged path through the forest, very much human-made, of somebody walking to and from the spot many times over the period of probably years, and you're very easily able to follow it back to the cottage.
00:34:59.233 --> 00:35:25.532
When you arrive back in the clearing, you see a quiet cottage, no people in sight, no smoke billowing from the chimney or any other indications of human activity from the outside of the cottage.
00:35:25.532 --> 00:35:27.365
How would you like to proceed?
00:35:29.161 --> 00:35:34.753
Was the boat there on the shore when we were taking the coastline up?
00:35:38.362 --> 00:35:40.782
You can check for it Retroactively.
00:35:40.782 --> 00:35:41.445
Check for the boat.
00:35:41.706 --> 00:35:48.331
Yeah, yeah, okay, uh, give me an investigation oh, okay, I was hoping just to look at the boat.
00:35:48.331 --> 00:35:52.742
Well, I shouldn't do it if it's investigation, don't make me do it.
00:35:53.184 --> 00:35:58.605
I mean I think, unless you like prompt everybody else to look for the boat, you would have to do it.
00:35:58.686 --> 00:36:06.400
If it's a question, I thought, like the boat landing was like our point of being, like I know where this is, I can turn in, so that's why I was thinking we would.
00:36:06.460 --> 00:36:08.266
Oh no, the boat was not present last night.
00:36:08.286 --> 00:36:16.793
You didn't run into the boat oh, we just saw that there was like a track of yeah oh, where they told the boat, like where they gotcha okay, sure, why not?
00:36:19.644 --> 00:36:20.146
go for it.
00:36:20.146 --> 00:36:20.788
I didn't get it.
00:36:20.807 --> 00:36:23.733
No, you didn two you didn't see a boat on the shore, sorry.
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:27.210
And that kind of hits you in retrospect.
00:36:27.210 --> 00:36:34.206
You're like I didn't see a boat docked anywhere and you don't remember seeing it last night either.
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:37.204
Or, as some of my friends would say, you're so pretty.
00:36:37.204 --> 00:36:40.090
You're so pretty I'm not though You're so pretty.
00:36:41.853 --> 00:36:41.954
No.
00:36:43.384 --> 00:36:44.126
He's very plain.
00:36:44.481 --> 00:36:45.867
Yeah, he's undetectable.
00:36:46.739 --> 00:36:47.842
A plain Jane of sorts.
00:36:48.083 --> 00:36:49.628
But a schmoozer, Schmoozer yeah.
00:36:50.369 --> 00:36:50.992
Good with words.
00:36:53.262 --> 00:37:00.329
I think Nia was just thirsty, so she's like ah he's under 20.
00:37:00.329 --> 00:37:02.333
Perfect Ugh, that was a gross.
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:07.088
Would you like, as our resident schmoozer, would you like to knock and schmooze?
00:37:07.740 --> 00:37:08.581
Yeah, I can do that.
00:37:08.581 --> 00:37:10.005
We're going to all go together.
00:37:10.045 --> 00:37:11.128
Yeah, we'll go together.
00:37:13.992 --> 00:37:14.554
Hello.
00:37:17.262 --> 00:37:31.570
You knock on the front door, it has a soft thud to the moss-covered wood of the door and you wait for a moment.
00:37:31.570 --> 00:37:36.807
Don't hear any call and response.
00:37:38.190 --> 00:37:38.692
Is there a window?
00:37:38.692 --> 00:37:40.443
There is a window.
00:37:40.443 --> 00:37:41.547
I'd like to look in the window.
00:37:41.809 --> 00:37:45.958
Yeah, the shutters are closed, but you can Peer through the shutters.
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:47.346
Peer through the shutters.
00:37:47.445 --> 00:37:53.532
Okay, so you peer through the shutters, you see a dark room.
00:37:53.532 --> 00:38:06.168
Sunlight comes in from the outside and everything is shadowed.
00:38:06.168 --> 00:38:11.335
Lots of browns, simply furnished.
00:38:11.335 --> 00:38:20.309
It's a small dining room with a single chair at a small table.
00:38:20.309 --> 00:38:35.829
You can make out on the table that there are some papers, a book, an unlit candle and a plate with some silverware.
00:38:35.829 --> 00:38:43.592
As you look to one side of the room, you see a small cupboard.
00:38:43.592 --> 00:38:51.144
The door left slightly ajar and inside you can see some cookware.
00:38:51.144 --> 00:39:14.628
From the sliver of what you can see through the ajar door, hanging on a hook to the other side of the room is a fall jacket so leather, not particularly heavy and a set of like muck boots.
00:39:14.628 --> 00:39:20.724
You don't notice any activity happening inside this room.
00:39:20.724 --> 00:39:22.659
I don't notice any activity happening inside this room.
00:39:23.981 --> 00:39:26.208
I don't think he's home.
00:39:29.422 --> 00:39:36.855
Well, I suppose it is sort of the time of day that he would be out working, doing things.
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:43.942
Yeah, from what it seemed like, I didn't hear anybody talk about him other than whenever we brought him up.
00:39:43.942 --> 00:39:59.701
Um, so I don't know what sort of role he plays in town if it's just old man or or whatever do you think broody could track where he went, although maybe broody's all snipped out after that performance?
00:39:59.742 --> 00:40:02.242
I, I, I crouch on the ground and I, I get up to broody's all sniffed out after that performance.
00:40:02.262 --> 00:40:05.826
I crouch on the ground and I get up to Broody's ear and I say what do you think, boy?
00:40:05.826 --> 00:40:08.748
You think you have another sniff in you.
00:40:09.429 --> 00:40:13.512
Is there anything like lying around like a pair, like a set of gloves, can you?
00:40:13.572 --> 00:40:15.393
give me an investigation.
00:40:15.393 --> 00:40:16.574
Check, Luca.
00:40:16.594 --> 00:40:18.576
Can someone else do it?
00:40:18.576 --> 00:40:20.876
Is someone else looking through the window.
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:22.920
Oh, not the window.
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:23.443
No, I'm thinking outside.
00:40:23.443 --> 00:40:27.597
I want something that he can smell, that I can get for Broody to smell First, give me an investigation.
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:29.005
Check I failed, just assume.
00:40:30.481 --> 00:40:31.224
I rolled two dice.
00:40:31.224 --> 00:40:31.907
It's bad.
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:35.666
You still have some percent chance of succeeding.
00:40:38.253 --> 00:40:42.003
Okay, so the idea is to try to get Broody to track him.
00:40:42.003 --> 00:40:45.521
Yeah, yeah, so you're looking for something outside?
00:40:45.902 --> 00:41:01.974
something like if he has like a waste pot that throws tobacco ashes out, or if he had dropped something like a piece of clothing, a handkerchief, gotcha work gloves he just sets aside gloves yeah, joseph, give me an investigation, check, okay.
00:41:02.034 --> 00:41:10.440
Thank you, I wanted to give you an opportunity, since you were doing an investigation inside the house as well.
00:41:10.681 --> 00:41:13.344
No, no, no, I'm not gonna break into the house.
00:41:13.344 --> 00:41:14.985
One success one success.
00:41:15.186 --> 00:41:19.331
Okay, um, along the Along the tree line, you do notice an outhouse.
00:41:20.452 --> 00:41:20.652
Oh.
00:41:21.693 --> 00:41:23.416
Yuck I'll wait here.
00:41:23.576 --> 00:41:26.943
Stinky Nature calls yeah.
00:41:26.943 --> 00:41:35.695
I wander over to this outhouse and I look it's like your prototypical Crescent Moon door outhouse.
00:41:36.980 --> 00:41:39.405
Yes, first scene of Shrek style Somebody, somebody.
00:41:39.425 --> 00:41:40.409
Somebody.
00:41:43.001 --> 00:41:44.239
What if he's been in there the whole time?
00:41:44.902 --> 00:41:49.945
Right then the door slams open, this hulking figure of a man steps out.
00:41:49.945 --> 00:41:53.864
The ground trembling Get out of my school.
00:41:57.141 --> 00:41:58.628
Get out of my clearing.
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:00.746
This is my field.
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:03.106
All right, none of that happens.
00:42:04.701 --> 00:42:07.230
Just a little slight of fantasy A little fantasy, yeah.
00:42:08.240 --> 00:42:09.143
So yeah, it is just.
00:42:09.143 --> 00:42:13.492
It's your standard run-of-the-mill Crescent Moon outhouse.
00:42:13.492 --> 00:42:17.911
As you approach, you do get the odor already.
00:42:17.911 --> 00:42:35.501
Odor already, um, and broody, sniffs around the outhouse and gets the scent of this man, gasper kosher, and you can be fairly certain, based on your experience thus far, that no one else is using this outhouse.
00:42:35.501 --> 00:42:41.713
This is a very solitary man who is not keen on having company.
00:42:41.713 --> 00:42:44.744
The scent is his.
00:42:44.963 --> 00:42:45.485
Gotcha.
00:42:45.485 --> 00:42:53.664
Well, it's weird how things work out, but we got the scent, Yep, from the source.
00:42:53.664 --> 00:42:57.800
From the source, lead us away, broody.
00:42:59.105 --> 00:42:59.567
I don't know how.
00:42:59.659 --> 00:43:01.487
Broody makes any checks.
00:43:01.487 --> 00:43:05.615
I think it's just your investigation, check with your broody yeah, broody is.
00:43:05.677 --> 00:43:16.333
Broody is the modifier for that check and broody is the reason why we are succeeding that check all right, um, oh, you did you already roll it?
00:43:16.333 --> 00:43:16.715
Yeah, I did.
00:43:16.715 --> 00:43:19.949
That's how I got the one success okay, so you have a success well.
00:43:19.989 --> 00:43:21.416
Well, that was the investigation.
00:43:21.416 --> 00:43:23.585
It's about the investigation for.
00:43:23.605 --> 00:43:23.965
Broody.
00:43:23.985 --> 00:43:24.628
Yes, yes, yes.
00:43:25.521 --> 00:43:27.077
And now this is the tracking roll.
00:43:27.077 --> 00:43:28.666
Oh gosh, I'm rolling.
00:43:28.666 --> 00:43:31.134
It seems like a lot of investigation rolls.
00:43:31.134 --> 00:43:32.907
You're just investigating, nonstop.
00:43:33.300 --> 00:43:39.284
Well, when you're looking for something, yeah this is my bread, and butter, looking for stuff in the woods oh, that's so good.
00:43:39.284 --> 00:43:41.567
Before we run off what?
00:43:41.646 --> 00:43:43.088
is Aka doing as well?
00:43:43.088 --> 00:43:45.572
Do you have three successes?
00:43:46.313 --> 00:43:47.295
Nothing useful.
00:43:47.295 --> 00:43:54.262
She's looking around for local wildlife.
00:43:54.262 --> 00:43:57.869
She heard some sort of owl hooting in the woods last night.
00:43:57.869 --> 00:44:07.686
She's really hoping to get a glance of it in the daytime, even though usually you can't see owls in the daytime, but she's hoping she's not really that helpful.
00:44:07.686 --> 00:44:10.307
She doesn't have anything useful to do.
00:44:10.307 --> 00:44:12.525
The boys seem to have it in hand.
00:44:12.525 --> 00:44:15.947
Okay, investigation, that's logic.
00:44:15.947 --> 00:44:18.487
Actually decent at investigation.
00:44:18.487 --> 00:44:19.644
I guess I could have been helping.
00:44:19.644 --> 00:44:21.182
No successes.
00:44:21.925 --> 00:44:22.945
I don't see an owl.
00:44:22.945 --> 00:44:23.911
I don't see anything.
00:44:23.911 --> 00:44:24.900
I fall over in the mud.
00:44:27.146 --> 00:44:29.052
No, these are already new dice.
00:44:30.001 --> 00:44:31.608
I just have bad luck.
00:44:31.608 --> 00:44:38.610
I need to cleanse myself, I need to go out and scream at the full moon for two hours straight.
00:44:40.543 --> 00:44:43.706
We need a dead body for you to do medicine on.
00:44:43.940 --> 00:44:45.847
I know For me to not be afraid of.
00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:46.740
Yeah.
00:44:46.961 --> 00:44:50.106
That's what I'm really good at, is not being scared of dead bodies.
00:44:52.583 --> 00:44:53.606
So start killing.
00:44:53.780 --> 00:44:55.407
We need a serial killer now.
00:44:56.661 --> 00:44:59.065
Or I need to poison someone.
00:44:59.065 --> 00:44:59.806
Stat.
00:45:01.431 --> 00:45:04.159
So okay, there's going to poison someone Stop.
00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:06.641
So okay, there's going to be some fun things.
00:45:06.641 --> 00:45:27.818
So Britty goes from the outhouse after having picked up the scent and he's going to make his way back to the main house and he's gonna circle that a while and you're like obviously that's his house.
00:45:27.818 --> 00:45:38.601
Yes, it's out there, I point to the woods, all right genius he does paw at the door for quite some time, the back door of the cottage oh it has two doors.
00:45:38.802 --> 00:45:42.164
Oh, yeah, there's a back door of the cottage.
00:45:42.164 --> 00:45:42.565
Oh, it has two doors.
00:45:42.565 --> 00:45:45.126
Oh, wow, yeah, there's a back door.
00:45:45.126 --> 00:45:58.717
And then, as you point off, he starts making his way across the clearing over to the other side of the tree line where you can see a path that starts to head out towards the main road.
00:45:58.717 --> 00:46:02.608
Okay, and you all follow.
00:46:02.608 --> 00:46:05.005
Yeah, all right.
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:17.570
So he follows this path for about 10 minutes until you see the red roof of the old inn and you can see that you are making your way back to the main road.
00:46:17.570 --> 00:46:29.713
As you follow, you start to see more signs of his path to and from the village.
00:46:29.713 --> 00:46:32.208
So he basically has two pathways.
00:46:32.208 --> 00:46:43.309
He has the pathway back and forth between the cottage and the lake and then the village and the cottage, and so now you are starting to head back towards town.
00:46:43.309 --> 00:47:03.248
You make your way to the main road south, past Gullix, the Hercogs, the Bijiks, you turn down past the elder's villa, jakob's house, and you start making your way up the hill towards the church.
00:47:03.248 --> 00:47:07.289
It's about one o'clock in the afternoon Is it Sunday.
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:08.764
No, this is Wednesday.
00:47:10.483 --> 00:47:13.407
Wednesday okay, I wonder if he's visiting the cemetery Maybe.
00:47:15.443 --> 00:47:18.286
You start making your way up the hill towards the church.
00:47:18.286 --> 00:47:22.070
At this point, Broody is starting to get excited.
00:47:22.070 --> 00:47:40.106
The scent is getting more recent and he is like really trying to rile you up, get you up that hill, and he runs right past the church and takes a left into the old cemetery.
00:47:40.768 --> 00:47:41.210
You were right.
00:47:45.003 --> 00:48:16.027
And as you enter the cemetery, you see a man dressed in almost rags walking towards you, towards the exit of the cemetery, and Broody jumps on this man and starts sniffing him, running back and forth between you and this man, and is very excited.
00:48:17.782 --> 00:48:18.880
Sorry about that, friend.
00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:24.320
I suddenly give Broody a treat on the sly and I'm so sorry.
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:34.199
I pick him up, I reach out a hand to help him off the ground keep your dog under wraps can't bother.
00:48:35.043 --> 00:48:37.731
Why are you bringing a dog into the cemetery in the first place.
00:48:37.900 --> 00:48:45.331
Sorry, we were trying to find you and he just you know into the cemetery in the first place.
00:48:45.331 --> 00:48:46.695
Sorry, we were trying to find you and he just you know, yeah.
00:48:49.063 --> 00:48:49.565
What do you mean?
00:48:49.565 --> 00:48:50.423
Who the heck?
00:48:50.523 --> 00:48:50.826
are you?
00:48:54.903 --> 00:48:58.072
We are investigating the drownings in the town.
00:48:58.072 --> 00:49:06.788
I don't know if you've talked to any of the other townspeople, but Jakob hired us to investigate his drowned men.
00:49:07.581 --> 00:49:07.902
Of course.
00:49:07.902 --> 00:49:08.847
I've heard of the drownings.
00:49:08.847 --> 00:49:10.525
Who do you think I am?
00:49:11.682 --> 00:49:19.364
Well, I didn't know if you heard of us, because I don't know if you've heard the word around town about the investigators which are us.
00:49:20.981 --> 00:49:21.987
We're the investigators.
00:49:22.782 --> 00:49:24.188
Why would we need investigators?
00:49:24.188 --> 00:49:30.152
Because it's an uncommon event for so many well-trained swimmers to drown in the lake.
00:49:30.152 --> 00:49:32.224
That's at least what Jakob said.
00:49:32.340 --> 00:49:33.626
In such short succession.
00:49:33.666 --> 00:49:36.748
Yes, it's causing some fear in town.
00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:40.590
And so we were asking around for.
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:42.481
All right.
00:49:42.481 --> 00:49:43.007
Well, what does that have?
00:49:43.047 --> 00:49:43.371
to do with me?
00:49:43.371 --> 00:49:44.541
Well, we were, that's what I was going to say.
00:49:44.541 --> 00:49:48.702
We were asking around to the other townspeople and they mentioned that you lived out in the woods.
00:49:48.702 --> 00:49:51.266
So we tried to find you and we found you here.
00:49:52.362 --> 00:49:56.286
We're doing regular conversations with all people in town.
00:49:57.630 --> 00:49:59.204
And what about living out in the woods?
00:49:59.204 --> 00:50:01.465
Didn't tell you that I didn't want to be talked to?
00:50:03.688 --> 00:50:08.371
Well, I pass on my hip flask.
00:50:10.773 --> 00:50:11.739
He like pushes away.
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:13.164
I don't want none of that shit.
00:50:13.706 --> 00:50:17.150
Are you sure what's your poison?
00:50:18.884 --> 00:50:19.987
Give me a manipulation, oh god.
00:50:19.987 --> 00:50:21.150
I'm terrible at manipulation?
00:50:21.150 --> 00:50:22.052
Well, you're certainly trying.
00:50:22.072 --> 00:50:22.815
What's your poison Give?
00:50:22.815 --> 00:50:23.456
Me a manipulation, oh God.
00:50:23.536 --> 00:50:24.639
I'm terrible at manipulation.
00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:26.179
Well, you're certainly trying.
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:30.927
Okay, because I know he likes to bag.
00:50:30.947 --> 00:50:33.271
Oh true.
00:50:33.291 --> 00:50:34.152
I did get a success.
00:50:34.333 --> 00:50:34.813
Wow.
00:50:35.273 --> 00:50:35.534
All right.
00:50:35.534 --> 00:50:49.893
You see that he has a sweat on his brow and there's like a little bit of a quiver in his left hand.
00:50:49.893 --> 00:51:02.112
Before he snatches it from your hand, whips it open and just takes a large swig.
00:51:03.302 --> 00:51:04.485
I get days like that too.
00:51:05.748 --> 00:51:08.527
Caps it and pushes it back into your chest.
00:51:11.262 --> 00:51:16.606
Oh my god, akka is displeased that you're enabling this man's alcoholism.
00:51:16.626 --> 00:51:31.181
She scowls at you and is like I shrug anyways, I don't have nothing to talk to you about now.
00:51:31.181 --> 00:51:32.702
If you don't mind, leave me be.
00:51:32.702 --> 00:51:35.666
I'm gonna get on with my day.
00:51:35.666 --> 00:51:38.250
I suggest you do the same.
00:51:38.811 --> 00:51:43.175
I'm sorry, sir, but I suspect that's not the case.
00:51:43.175 --> 00:51:49.467
We're interested in speaking with you about oh god, what's her name.
00:51:49.648 --> 00:51:49.969
Zoya.
00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:54.186
Zoya Herzog, we heard that the two of you were close.
00:51:55.420 --> 00:51:56.786
Give me a manipulation.
00:51:59.780 --> 00:52:04.923
I guess I can technically inspire him with alcohol, but I won't because this man has a problem.
00:52:04.923 --> 00:52:08.152
Oh no, okay, I'm not really very good at this.
00:52:08.152 --> 00:52:12.902
One success.
00:52:12.963 --> 00:52:13.483
Nice.
00:52:13.523 --> 00:52:15.128
Wow, hey guys, I figured it out.
00:52:15.128 --> 00:52:16.913
The secret is to roll fewer dice.
00:52:18.199 --> 00:52:24.610
Weirdly enough, all right, so can you also give me an observation?
00:52:25.172 --> 00:52:27.860
sure can I also give an observation?
00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:39.409
oh yeah everybody give me an observation everybody, look at this guy we're wrapped in attention one success one success, no successes zero, all right.
00:52:39.690 --> 00:53:16.188
So as you mentioned Zoya's name, you notice a wince, a tense up of his neck muscles, just grunts and sighs and you see his like fists are kind of clenched I smile blandly at him using my bedside manner how dare?
00:53:16.228 --> 00:53:17.210
you bring up that name.
00:53:17.210 --> 00:53:19.835
What do you want to know?
00:53:20.876 --> 00:53:21.559
Oh, I'm sorry.
00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:23.606
I didn't realize that it was a sensitive topic.
00:53:23.606 --> 00:53:27.603
It sounded like she was just such a lovely woman.
00:53:31.791 --> 00:53:32.393
She was.
00:53:32.393 --> 00:53:38.887
You better have a point, or you better keep that name out of your mouth.
00:53:41.541 --> 00:53:42.927
You seem very protective of her.
00:53:45.202 --> 00:53:46.347
I don't know what you're talking about.
00:53:46.347 --> 00:53:49.646
She's a lovely woman.
00:53:50.981 --> 00:53:52.065
And the two of you were close.
00:53:56.442 --> 00:54:00.588
You could say that Well, we are.
00:54:01.300 --> 00:54:11.853
What our research turned up is that she was also a victim of drowning, and so we're trying to understand if it could have some sort of correlation to what's happening here.
00:54:11.853 --> 00:54:24.394
Of course, it sounds like her death just devastated the community, and if it has anything to do with what's been going on recently, we're very interested in, you know, bringing putting her soul to rest.
00:54:24.394 --> 00:54:31.070
Don't you think it could potentially be related?
00:54:32.161 --> 00:54:53.385
These drownings in the lake, you see his eyes start to dart around the cemetery and then at each of you, looking you up and down, and you can see the cogs turning in his head.
00:54:58.242 --> 00:55:01.344
It's not possible, leave her out of this.
00:55:01.344 --> 00:55:07.824
Go to your investigation, probably, jacob.
00:55:07.824 --> 00:55:13.592
Anyways, she's trying to off employees that she doesn't like.
00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:20.010
Luca will start to whistle the lullaby.
00:55:25.219 --> 00:55:27.481
Give me a manipulation check.
00:55:27.521 --> 00:55:28.222
That's what I'm good at.
00:55:28.242 --> 00:56:18.768
yeah, boy break this man, he's like he pulls out a handkerchief and wipes his brow you can see that it is stained with sweat and he coughs into it His left fist, left fit fist oh my goodness, left fist now visibly clenched, his neck muscle's tightening.
00:56:19.400 --> 00:56:20.567
I'm gonna step in front of Arca.
00:56:20.567 --> 00:56:22.724
If anybody's gonna get hit, it's going to be me.
00:56:24.931 --> 00:56:31.583
Sir, the sooner that we're able to get this information from you, the sooner we will leave you alone.
00:56:31.664 --> 00:56:32.929
Through gritted teeth.
00:56:35.521 --> 00:56:36.465
Where did you hear that?
00:56:41.222 --> 00:56:42.467
I think I heard it the same place.
00:56:42.467 --> 00:56:48.146
You've heard it recently Out on the lake last night.
00:56:48.146 --> 00:56:54.088
I know, at least from what I've heard.
00:56:54.188 --> 00:56:57.943
I know that you really don't know what you're getting yourself into.
00:56:59.750 --> 00:57:07.523
You better be damn sure that you're ready for the hell that's about to come.
00:57:11.391 --> 00:57:11.913
Tell us more.
00:57:11.913 --> 00:57:15.210
Tell us what are we getting ourselves into?
00:57:15.210 --> 00:57:18.047
How can we know?
00:57:18.047 --> 00:57:20.641
How can we know we're outsiders here?
00:57:20.641 --> 00:57:29.126
You're the one with the knowledge, you're the one with the understanding, you're the one who knew Zoya, tell us, help us, and we will leave you alone.
00:57:33.900 --> 00:57:37.688
He's just breathing heavily, his nostrils flared.
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:41.322
Should not have given him alcohol Just a little bit.
00:57:41.342 --> 00:57:43.048
He can't act that quickly I know.
00:57:44.179 --> 00:57:45.443
I want to splash him with water.
00:57:45.443 --> 00:57:50.786
Yeah, should I do something stupid.
00:57:50.786 --> 00:57:51.769
Yeah.
00:57:53.262 --> 00:57:53.985
I'm going to hug him.
00:57:55.621 --> 00:57:59.905
Alright, give me manipulation Break this man.
00:58:00.126 --> 00:58:02.409
Emotionally crippling.
00:58:05.474 --> 00:58:08.090
Oh no, that's no successes.
00:58:09.306 --> 00:58:10.219
Good thing we've got a nurse.
00:58:10.219 --> 00:58:11.244
Three pairs though.
00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:14.802
Alright, cool, I'm gonna pull out the book, oh no.
00:58:14.943 --> 00:58:16.922
Great, you're about to get your nose broken.
00:58:16.922 --> 00:58:17.666
That's fine.
00:58:18.400 --> 00:58:36.094
As you go in for a hug, this man lurches backwards and puts his arms up into a defensive state and he goes in for a swing.
00:58:36.875 --> 00:58:42.130
Um, I'm gonna pull up the combat mechanic okay, this is fine, I'm good at close combat actually.
00:58:42.903 --> 00:58:44.945
Do you want to beat this man up, do you want?
00:58:44.965 --> 00:58:45.409
to be good.
00:58:45.409 --> 00:58:55.710
No, but I'm assuming you can use Not bad Because he is going to try to give you a big old wallop on the face.
00:58:55.710 --> 00:58:59.670
I'm assuming I use close combat to dodge and whatnot.
00:59:00.809 --> 00:59:05.427
And if it's like agility instead it's also fine, yeah so maybe you can break.
00:59:05.467 --> 00:59:07.851
You have a slow action.
00:59:07.851 --> 00:59:13.690
I'll patch him up and then he'll feel plus a fast action slash reaction oh, oh right.
00:59:13.731 --> 00:59:19.748
No, I've got a little thing that tells okay, so we actually, so we're gonna initiative.
00:59:20.309 --> 00:59:28.311
So combat is divided into rounds and we will get playing cards that are 1 to 10.
00:59:28.311 --> 00:59:34.452
And I actually have my special cards that I got for kickstarting this game.
00:59:34.452 --> 00:59:41.628
Hey, that I believe is right here.
00:59:41.628 --> 00:59:44.092
So I'm going to pull these these out, and I don't know why.
00:59:44.112 --> 00:59:50.831
I didn't plan for this happening, but we nobody thought luca was gonna get in a fist fight.
00:59:50.891 --> 00:59:52.581
I was trying to hug the man.
00:59:52.601 --> 00:59:54.746
No, I hey I'm right there with you, man.
00:59:54.746 --> 00:59:57.512
This guy is so combative this is what happens.
00:59:57.739 --> 00:59:59.061
Yeah, no he's very combative.
00:59:59.121 --> 01:00:11.704
He has been aggressive this whole fuck, I want to time give him fucking ketamine, all right, so how combat works is that initiative is?
01:00:12.105 --> 01:00:12.646
a card.
01:00:12.646 --> 01:00:29.985
Uh, there are cards, one through ten, but you select the numbers for how many combatants are in the fight and we just shuffle and then you draw and that's your initiative.
01:00:29.985 --> 01:00:32.989
So there's no like rolling initiative in the system.
01:00:32.989 --> 01:00:36.148
So this one's going to be for Akka.
01:00:36.148 --> 01:00:38.748
This is for Luka.
01:00:39.902 --> 01:00:41.387
And this is for Joseph.
01:00:49.304 --> 01:00:49.764
Can we look at them?
01:00:49.764 --> 01:00:52.349
And I believe one is um the top of the initiative.
01:00:52.349 --> 01:00:59.947
However, we are going to start with the action that initiates combat, which is the slug.
01:00:59.947 --> 01:01:02.875
So are we allowed?
01:01:02.954 --> 01:01:03.797
can we look at our cards?
01:01:03.856 --> 01:01:05.221
yes, please look at your card.
01:01:05.221 --> 01:01:06.302
I'm three one.
01:01:06.684 --> 01:01:09.429
Whoa nice, I'm quick on the draw.
01:01:09.429 --> 01:01:10.331
This isn't the first time.
01:01:10.391 --> 01:01:14.931
A patient has tried to punch me um so you do have a reaction.
01:01:15.572 --> 01:01:21.007
luca, I'd like to dodge because you have a slow action and a fast action slash reaction.
01:01:21.007 --> 01:01:30.648
Everything in here is done zones in distance, so it's basically a zone or the same zone.
01:01:30.648 --> 01:01:33.273
Is that you can get there within a couple steps?
01:01:33.273 --> 01:01:37.911
So that would be close, medium, far.
01:01:39.981 --> 01:01:41.927
I imagine we're all close right now.
01:01:41.947 --> 01:01:44.367
Yeah, you're all close, you're all within close combat.
01:01:44.367 --> 01:01:46.226
So this is going to be close combat.
01:01:46.226 --> 01:01:55.434
And then a dodge is an agility-based reaction.
01:01:55.434 --> 01:02:02.954
So is agility, physique, agility and physique.
01:02:02.954 --> 01:02:04.365
I roll seven.
01:02:05.181 --> 01:02:08.365
Wow, alright, I'm fast.
01:02:08.365 --> 01:02:10.934
Physique is my highest attribute.
01:02:11.661 --> 01:02:12.103
You can also.
01:02:14.413 --> 01:02:28.358
There's a slow action called persuade that maybe you can use social actions in combat, because this is not meant to be a combat system climb a wall turns around.
01:02:28.358 --> 01:02:34.545
It just starts climbing, all right, and I believe it is the way that we do.
01:02:34.545 --> 01:02:35.887
That is.
01:02:35.887 --> 01:02:45.576
He will roll as well, and I believe a common person only has two dice for most of these things.
01:02:45.576 --> 01:02:46.376
He's also drunk.
01:02:46.780 --> 01:02:48.143
Yeah and old.
01:02:50.090 --> 01:02:53.085
All right, roll your dodge.
01:02:53.085 --> 01:02:55.251
Two successes.
01:02:55.251 --> 01:02:57.045
Okay, he has zero success.
01:02:57.045 --> 01:03:02.429
And four fives you see as he swings, aiming for for your face.
01:03:02.429 --> 01:03:06.164
You dodge out of the way and he whiffs.
01:03:06.164 --> 01:03:11.134
He like, follows the punch through and he's putting his full weight behind this punch.
01:03:11.134 --> 01:03:16.568
He is going in for a blow and that's like lean back, yeah, you lean back.
01:03:16.849 --> 01:03:18.693
He's moving very sluggish.
01:03:18.693 --> 01:03:32.380
You can tell throughout this whole conversation that he's relatively drunk, um, and so he begins to stumble on himself, um, which will bring us to the top of the order.
01:03:32.380 --> 01:03:34.202
So who has initiative?
01:03:34.202 --> 01:03:36.525
One, all right.
01:03:36.525 --> 01:03:46.215
So, anka, what would you like to do as he is stumbling over himself, having tried to punch Luca?
01:03:48.443 --> 01:03:54.204
Oh for goodness sakes, let's see.
01:03:54.204 --> 01:04:04.226
Is there like a hold?
01:04:04.226 --> 01:04:12.563
Grapple no, not a grapple like a can I like wait to do something until late, like I feel like I'm not gonna?
01:04:12.844 --> 01:04:15.168
go in and try and punch this guy yeah.
01:04:15.168 --> 01:04:22.101
So what's really nice is that you all have your own initiatives, but you can kind of share within that.
01:04:22.101 --> 01:04:24.445
So until it's back his turn.
01:04:24.445 --> 01:04:26.190
So I have initiative four for him.
01:04:26.190 --> 01:04:30.706
So everything one through three can kind of be a little bit more fluid.
01:04:31.389 --> 01:04:41.768
Oh, because I kind of want to give luca a chance to, like, talk him down, I feel like if I jump in and start like messing or like it's just gonna make the situation it's just going to make the situation.
01:04:41.788 --> 01:04:43.014
It's going to like escalate the situation.
01:04:44.960 --> 01:04:46.807
I'm no good at persuading or manipulating, so I feel like talking isn't going to help.
01:04:46.807 --> 01:04:56.528
So maybe I'll just hold off and I'm ready, if somebody gets punched, I'll have some like a little ice pack for them or something.
01:04:57.411 --> 01:04:57.672
All right.
01:04:57.940 --> 01:04:59.585
I just don't think there's anything super useful.
01:04:59.585 --> 01:05:00.670
I can do this round.
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:04.793
So I just don't think there's anything super useful.
01:05:04.813 --> 01:05:05.277
I can do this round.
01:05:05.277 --> 01:05:06.103
So yeah, cause you.
01:05:06.103 --> 01:05:08.005
Oh, that's, that's how it handles it.
01:05:08.005 --> 01:05:10.838
So it is called swapping initiative.
01:05:10.838 --> 01:05:20.163
So during combat you can kind of just trade your initiatives around great Lucas first right?
01:05:20.182 --> 01:05:21.947
do you mean actually physically trade the cards?
01:05:22.168 --> 01:05:28.389
or yes, okay so yeah, so you can choose to swap initiative during combat.
01:05:28.389 --> 01:05:32.047
You may only swap cards at the start of the round, so this is the start of the round.
01:05:32.047 --> 01:05:37.344
Yep, yeah, so you can all now trade those out great, I feel good about this order.
01:05:37.364 --> 01:05:38.224
Okay, yeah, yeah, gorgeous.
01:05:38.505 --> 01:05:39.266
Gorgeous.
01:05:39.266 --> 01:05:52.971
If I'm going first, then I would like to try and catch his arm to steady him as he stumbles, all right, and then I would like to try and persuade while doing so if that's okay, Absolutely.
01:05:52.971 --> 01:05:54.233
Oh, I'm sorry.
01:05:54.233 --> 01:05:54.815
I'm sorry.
01:05:54.815 --> 01:05:57.306
You look like you were in a lot of pain.
01:05:57.306 --> 01:05:58.664
I know you loved her a lot.
01:06:00.329 --> 01:06:02.539
All right Give me.
01:06:02.559 --> 01:06:03.201
Like you were in a lot of pain.
01:06:03.221 --> 01:06:19.974
I know you loved her a lot, all right give me that manipulation, my lord none zero full house though maybe we can just follow him secretly, he seems to be in a flurry of anger.
01:06:20.735 --> 01:06:23.987
His anger is blinding him.
01:06:24.007 --> 01:06:30.126
Alright, well, I'm holding onto his arm so he doesn't fall over now, that's nice of you.
01:06:30.126 --> 01:06:33.344
Alright, and that's it.
01:06:33.344 --> 01:06:34.628
I've used all my actions.
01:06:35.179 --> 01:06:36.485
I'm gonna try to grapple him.
01:06:36.485 --> 01:06:44.079
I'm gonna say friend, we're only here to help, and trying to fight us is not going to solve your problems.
01:06:44.079 --> 01:06:48.512
We want to help you.
01:06:48.512 --> 01:07:01.168
We want to work together to solve this problem, not only for you but for the whole town, because I think the source is the same guy that we're thinking of that's causing all this misery.
01:07:02.063 --> 01:07:06.365
Alright, so a grapple is, I think it's force, force.
01:07:06.365 --> 01:07:12.882
Yeah, so I got five, um, and I believe he can resist this as his reaction.
01:07:13.023 --> 01:07:17.567
He can break free or dodge, I'm assuming I got to break free.
01:07:19.690 --> 01:07:26.856
I got one success, nice One success Okay.
01:07:27.639 --> 01:07:34.653
So it's actually kind of normal for people to have between two and four on any stat when they're on PCs, gotcha.
01:07:34.653 --> 01:07:43.648
So I'm going to say that he's not very agile, but he is a four physique, but he has zero successes.
01:07:45.621 --> 01:07:56.210
So I pin him, I get under one of the crooks of his arm and I sort of got him pinned up between you got one arm, or you're holding onto one arm, and I got the other side of him.
01:07:56.210 --> 01:08:00.481
But I'm gently holding yeah you're gently holding, but it's sort of like he's between.
01:08:00.481 --> 01:08:01.724
So I got a grip on him, but I'm gently holding.
01:08:01.724 --> 01:08:03.327
Yeah, you're gently holding, but it's sort of like he's between.
01:08:03.327 --> 01:08:04.347
Yeah, so I got a grip on him.
01:08:05.070 --> 01:08:05.309
All right.
01:08:05.309 --> 01:08:11.103
He begins to profess and pull away Anka what are you doing?
01:08:11.123 --> 01:08:11.382
I'm going to.
01:08:11.382 --> 01:08:15.289
I'm not good at persuading, but I'm going to try and persuade.
01:08:15.289 --> 01:08:24.962
I'm going to say boys, please, no fighting in the churchyard, don't you know?
01:08:24.962 --> 01:08:25.904
The watchful eye of god is gazing down on us.
01:08:25.904 --> 01:08:29.609
At all appeal to his perhaps religious nature?
01:08:29.609 --> 01:08:35.662
Um, okay, so that's manipulation, which I'm not good at.
01:08:35.662 --> 01:08:36.162
We'll do.
01:08:36.162 --> 01:08:36.222
So.
01:08:36.222 --> 01:08:40.648
That's four, but if there's anything I've learned, it's the fewer dice I roll, the better I do.
01:08:41.109 --> 01:08:46.676
Nope, no successes all right, I'm doing great he is trying to break.
01:08:46.855 --> 01:08:49.844
We are not trained to de-escalators grapple.
01:08:50.024 --> 01:09:00.752
So he is going to, and you said that like he's pinned between the two of you well, I've, I've got, I've sort of got him by the shoulders one arm, one, a hand on his elbow and a hand on his shoulder.
01:09:01.292 --> 01:09:08.109
Okay so he is going to try to just elbow, check you um.
01:09:08.109 --> 01:09:10.511
So he's going to do a.
01:09:10.511 --> 01:09:15.881
I think it's close, close combat physique.
01:09:16.502 --> 01:09:17.664
Uh, there's an unarmed attack.
01:09:17.664 --> 01:09:20.149
Does force force?
01:09:20.371 --> 01:09:21.833
So he's going to use force physique.
01:09:21.833 --> 01:09:24.028
That's what it is for an unarmed attack.
01:09:24.028 --> 01:09:31.247
That will be one success.
01:09:31.247 --> 01:09:37.670
Would you like to use a fast action reaction to dodge it or attempt to dodge?
01:09:37.670 --> 01:09:40.515
You can also parry or parry.
01:09:41.243 --> 01:09:52.079
I don't know how parrying works, but I will parry you can um parry, close combat or dodge a ranged attack oh, a ranged attack yeah oh is that how
01:09:52.100 --> 01:09:57.712
that works so it should always be parrying for close combat I didn't do that.
01:09:58.012 --> 01:10:00.250
My bad close combat force instead of oh, it was one dice less that.
01:10:00.270 --> 01:10:01.800
My bad Close combat force instead of I think mechanical kind of worked.
01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:02.421
It was one.
01:10:02.421 --> 01:10:06.963
Dice less, that's okay, oh, but close combat is an agility, isn't it?
01:10:06.963 --> 01:10:07.828
It's agility.
01:10:07.828 --> 01:10:16.225
It says you use agility to dodge, so that would be ranged, and force or close combat, to parry depending on whether or not you are armed Beast yeah.
01:10:18.650 --> 01:10:20.827
Okay, so which should I roll?
01:10:25.300 --> 01:10:26.162
So you're going to do close combat or force?
01:10:26.162 --> 01:10:26.886
Okay, in theory, you also must choose.
01:10:26.886 --> 01:10:37.462
Choose to do it before you know whether the enemy has succeeded oh, good to know for the future that's all right I didn't say anything no worries we're learning combat for the first time in the game.
01:10:37.481 --> 01:10:40.126
One success, nice, one success, nice, one success.
01:10:40.126 --> 01:10:43.292
Oh, who wins on a time Is this?
01:10:43.412 --> 01:10:51.570
a stalemate For every success that the fast action gets you reduce the number of successes Okay.
01:10:51.840 --> 01:10:54.305
Each success deducts one success from the enemy's attack.
01:10:54.305 --> 01:10:55.108
Yeah, Gorgeous.
01:10:55.268 --> 01:10:57.453
Thank you, you're welcome, all right.
01:10:57.453 --> 01:11:05.201
So he tries to elbow you, but you're able to like palm it out of the way.
01:11:05.201 --> 01:11:11.913
Um, that brings us back to luca I'm sorry, truly.
01:11:12.113 --> 01:11:13.275
We're just here to help.
01:11:13.275 --> 01:11:24.823
We don't want the people in this town to die and we know you have a connection with them, with with her I feel like at this point we should just try and get him to calm.
01:11:26.065 --> 01:11:27.791
I don't think we're gonna get any information out of him.
01:11:27.791 --> 01:11:36.206
Oh yeah, we just need to like get out of this situation and then follow him secretly or something, or break into his house yeah, I think he's too flustered.
01:11:36.546 --> 01:11:37.688
Yeah, what's his name?
01:11:37.688 --> 01:11:38.188
Give me a person.
01:11:38.207 --> 01:11:49.806
His name is gasper, she's killing people, gasper oh no give me a manipulation I was going for the like.
01:11:49.846 --> 01:11:54.802
She drowned and they drowned and maybe one success yeah, I think it's too on the nose in my mind.
01:11:54.863 --> 01:11:57.627
I think he knows yeah well, because he talks to her.
01:11:57.646 --> 01:11:58.668
Yeah, like he visits her.
01:11:58.668 --> 01:12:00.252
Yeah, okay.
01:12:07.039 --> 01:12:10.944
So you see his body goes slack.
01:12:10.944 --> 01:12:17.594
Joseph, since you have him grappled, can you give me a force?
01:12:18.435 --> 01:12:24.154
Okay, can I help, since I have the other?
01:12:24.194 --> 01:12:24.314
arm.
01:12:24.581 --> 01:12:25.587
Well, I guess, to do what?
01:12:25.608 --> 01:12:26.252
I think is really the question.
01:12:26.271 --> 01:12:27.359
Don't worry about it Okay.
01:12:28.181 --> 01:12:29.381
I got one success, alright.
01:12:29.381 --> 01:12:37.622
So he goes slack in your arms and you feel his full body weight press into you.
01:12:37.622 --> 01:12:38.326
It's okay, buddy.
01:12:38.326 --> 01:12:46.673
And he begins to sob uncontrollably did it again.
01:12:46.673 --> 01:13:05.000
It's a twofer broken this man he stops fighting and and can you all give me observation?
01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:24.913
Hell yeah one success no successes none so he begins to sob uncontrollably, gasping for breath.
01:13:24.913 --> 01:13:55.659
His body slack and in between his sobs you hear him starting to mutter, mostly to himself, um, mostly to himself, but also maybe he's hoping you overhear what he says.
01:14:04.902 --> 01:14:08.399
Maybe he's hoping that you're actually going to help, because he starts to mutter about how it's not her fault.
01:14:14.127 --> 01:14:18.074
It's horrible what was done to her.
01:14:18.902 --> 01:14:28.962
Horrible what was done to her Um.
01:14:29.042 --> 01:14:58.613
And he begins to slink out of Joseph's arms onto the ground, where he crumples onto his knees and buries his face into his hands muffling the remainder of his muttering, Luca will kneel down next to him and like rub his back, like consolingly, and say I know it's.
01:14:59.654 --> 01:15:06.353
we don't blame her, but she's so angry.
01:15:20.677 --> 01:15:22.199
She has to be stopped.
01:15:22.199 --> 01:15:48.930
It's almost as if the world falls into silence with how all-consuming the muttering and sobbing becomes becomes, and it takes him quite some time to even become responsive again.
01:15:52.703 --> 01:15:53.125
I'll stay.
01:15:53.125 --> 01:15:54.945
I'll keep rubbing his back.
01:16:07.201 --> 01:16:10.386
What is everyone else doing?
01:16:10.386 --> 01:16:29.228
I look to akka and I give a glance and say, wow, um, joseph is kind of in shock just because this guy has had such a a wild escalation of emotions in this last minute of us talking to him.
01:16:29.228 --> 01:16:39.333
Um, but yeah, he's just, he's sort of pinned underneath um gasper, and he's just silent, you're stuck underneath him.
01:16:39.354 --> 01:16:39.895
I think he's just silent.
01:16:39.895 --> 01:16:42.664
You're stuck underneath him, I think he's.
01:16:42.664 --> 01:16:44.015
Oh, because he rolled onto his knees.
01:16:44.036 --> 01:16:44.600
He's on his knees now.
01:16:44.600 --> 01:16:50.167
Yeah, he kind of slinked, yeah, yeah yeah, let's give them a little space.
01:16:50.287 --> 01:16:50.387
Yeah.
01:16:51.140 --> 01:16:56.667
I'm going to step back over to a nearby grave marker or something.
01:16:56.667 --> 01:16:57.970
Do you have any water?
01:16:58.792 --> 01:17:00.645
No, I just have the alcohol.
01:17:01.301 --> 01:17:03.240
I have a doctor's bag with medical equipment.
01:17:03.240 --> 01:17:04.083
Would that have water in?
01:17:04.104 --> 01:17:04.144
it.
01:17:04.144 --> 01:17:05.307
Can you get some from the church?
01:17:05.528 --> 01:17:06.310
yeah, I'll go get water.
01:17:06.310 --> 01:17:23.752
So I'll go into the church and ask for a cup of water or like see if I can see if there's a well or something holy water, just kidding yes you just pulled the holy water off the wall and carried the bowl.
01:17:23.773 --> 01:17:24.594
Here I found some water.
01:17:24.594 --> 01:17:35.795
No, you do run into Father Matei, who is able to escort you to the well off to the side of the church.
01:17:37.100 --> 01:17:39.148
Great, yeah, I'm getting water and bringing some back.
01:17:39.380 --> 01:17:42.266
Yeah, and you're welcome to have any conversation with Father Mate.
01:17:42.266 --> 01:17:47.725
Father mate, if you would like to, if there's anything else you'd like to press on, or it can just be.
01:17:48.005 --> 01:17:54.055
Uh, he helps you get water uh, I, he'll just help me get water.
01:17:54.055 --> 01:18:00.170
All right, bless you, thank you um.
01:18:00.671 --> 01:18:19.649
Luca has shifted to crisscross applesauce but is still his back until he, until he, uh give you a little response, perfect, yeah and then back off again yeah, we sit on a stone dude is going.
01:18:19.710 --> 01:18:20.872
It's like hysterical.
01:18:22.779 --> 01:18:27.689
I have like in very hushed tones, just enough to like, so he can hear me over his own wailing.
01:18:27.689 --> 01:18:32.046
Do you want to talk about her?
01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:40.131
You should put Pika Pika's therapy animal Pika right.
01:18:41.903 --> 01:18:45.122
If I had sat down, Pika would probably hop out of the bag on her own.
01:18:45.122 --> 01:18:47.831
I'll put.
01:18:47.831 --> 01:18:50.105
Pika in front of him.
01:18:50.908 --> 01:18:52.011
We'll see how it goes.
01:18:52.011 --> 01:18:53.899
Who couldn't love Pika?
01:18:54.060 --> 01:18:59.826
After a few minutes he begins to calm down a bit.
01:18:59.826 --> 01:19:05.189
He starts to sniffle and dry his face.
01:19:07.002 --> 01:19:09.345
I hand him the cup of water he's not running down.
01:19:10.860 --> 01:19:16.185
Akka returns with water and he takes the water from you and he chugs it.
01:19:16.185 --> 01:19:17.791
That tracks.
01:19:18.579 --> 01:19:19.585
Yeah, I'll go get some more.
01:19:20.220 --> 01:19:24.981
And then you see he holds out a shaking hand towards joseph.
01:19:25.762 --> 01:19:44.914
You notice his eyes locked onto your hip flats no I, I, I agree with the sentiment, mom, and dad are fighting.
01:19:44.954 --> 01:19:52.827
I'm staying out of this the man has a problem you probably have a problem what I don't have a problem.
01:19:53.743 --> 01:19:55.189
I protectively guard my hip.
01:19:55.189 --> 01:20:05.257
Last it's up to you we can save this for a little bit later.
01:20:05.257 --> 01:20:05.960
Um, it's up to it's up to you.
01:20:13.743 --> 01:20:19.140
We can save this for a little bit later, but I think I think we I send Broody over.
01:20:20.220 --> 01:20:21.516
I can't think about it anymore.
01:20:21.516 --> 01:20:21.556
I.
01:20:23.966 --> 01:20:25.890
I want to make the hurting stop.
01:20:28.002 --> 01:20:29.807
Have you tried talking to somebody about it?
01:20:29.807 --> 01:20:37.088
You can't keep all those ideas in your noggin.
01:20:37.770 --> 01:20:37.992
Yeah.
01:20:38.119 --> 01:20:39.606
Sometimes you have to talk to a friend.
01:20:40.159 --> 01:20:49.443
I kneel down next to him and say Remember, sir, you don't want that poison, or what was the phrase he used when he first rejected it.
01:20:49.443 --> 01:20:54.850
Do you remember when you first offered it to him and he was like what I don't need that.
01:20:54.850 --> 01:20:57.618
Yeah, get that stuff away from me.
01:20:57.658 --> 01:20:57.819
Yeah.
01:20:58.180 --> 01:21:00.770
Yeah, I tried to echo that phrasing.
01:21:07.064 --> 01:21:07.805
Look at me, who's gonna listen?
01:21:07.805 --> 01:21:16.125
We're right here you got three friends right here in your court ready to listen.
01:21:30.296 --> 01:21:31.778
I loved her so much.
01:21:31.778 --> 01:21:42.588
I'll never forgive him for what he did to her, what he did to her, what he turned her into.
01:21:49.127 --> 01:21:52.188
He seems a pretty brutal person under that veneer.
01:22:00.301 --> 01:22:01.847
Can you tell us what happened?
01:22:05.606 --> 01:22:07.289
we're all practicing active listening.
01:22:07.551 --> 01:22:15.725
Yeah, eye contact nodding is he interacting with pika yet?
01:22:15.725 --> 01:22:16.806
Has he seen?
01:22:17.327 --> 01:22:19.488
pika.
01:22:19.569 --> 01:22:32.122
Surprisingly he's not um he's, yeah, like, he's like he has this like hundred yard stare his responses.
01:22:32.564 --> 01:22:35.605
He doesn't even like turn his face to talk to you all.
01:22:35.605 --> 01:22:56.271
It's like he is so ashamed that he's trying desperately to detach himself from the situation, to completely and utterly disassociate.
01:22:57.119 --> 01:23:07.332
Bro, you're doing terrible things to the mental health of the people in this town no, he'll feel better after he talks about it, I promise okay, I don't know.
01:23:07.332 --> 01:23:09.180
Are you a trauma-informed therapist?
01:23:12.206 --> 01:23:15.713
I don't think you have the tools to help this man with what's going on with him.
01:23:17.404 --> 01:23:31.448
Okay, this is fine dan knows that he'll feel better ellie being like oh god, we got this man disassociating in a graveyard let's do some grounding techniques breathe in for seven.
01:23:31.469 --> 01:23:32.972
Yeah, you're all sitting on the ground.
01:23:32.972 --> 01:23:35.283
Name five things.
01:23:35.283 --> 01:23:38.707
You can see four things you can touch oh my god.
01:23:38.726 --> 01:23:41.711
So where are you feeling this in your body?
01:23:42.972 --> 01:23:54.515
right here in my heart I think we can kind of fast track this conversation yeah okay, based on the trajectory yeah, we've broken.
01:23:54.940 --> 01:23:56.061
He'll tell us you have.
01:23:56.283 --> 01:24:01.150
Yeah, you've gotten him to a point where he is rather broken, he is fully broken.
01:24:02.113 --> 01:24:03.354
Down, broken down.
01:24:03.354 --> 01:24:07.769
Okay, so not like broken, but where you die, he is broken.
01:24:09.902 --> 01:24:11.488
This is a very broken man.
01:24:11.488 --> 01:24:22.872
This is a man who has been numbing himself for six years since the death of Zoya, oh my god.
01:24:22.872 --> 01:24:50.015
And to the point that he has moved out to the middle of nowhere, shut himself in and everybody in town thinks of him as this irreparable drunkard hermit.
01:24:54.002 --> 01:24:55.748
Well, fuck this town, jeez.
01:24:57.079 --> 01:25:04.876
I mean, you've not heard nice things about this man from anybody that you've talked to.
01:25:04.876 --> 01:25:17.412
They've all discounted him completely at this point and he has nowhere to turn to.
01:25:17.412 --> 01:25:20.769
He has no one to talk to.
01:25:20.769 --> 01:25:47.181
Nowhere to turn to.
01:25:47.181 --> 01:25:48.985
He has no one to talk tooya.
01:25:48.985 --> 01:25:58.726
Out of his pocket he pulls a cloth and since Luca, you're the one that's physically engaged with him.
01:25:58.726 --> 01:26:11.278
You see this rag that he clasps in his fists.
01:26:11.278 --> 01:26:50.515
As he tells you about Zoya, he tries to focus as much of the conversation on her as possible, revealing a much deeper relationship that anyone else has let on for the time since you've arrived at this town, since you've arrived at this town, but throughout this whole conversation, it is apparent that he does not know what happened to her.
01:26:50.515 --> 01:27:01.345
He is assured of her death.
01:27:01.345 --> 01:27:13.149
However, and the rest of the conversation he tries very desperately to avoid saying anything about the present.
01:27:13.149 --> 01:27:17.300
He holds tightly onto the past.
01:27:17.300 --> 01:27:20.970
He doesn't want to move from that path.
01:27:21.090 --> 01:27:26.631
That point when you say he's assured of her death.
01:27:26.631 --> 01:27:27.032
What is it?
01:27:27.032 --> 01:27:27.712
Just like that he's.
01:27:28.381 --> 01:27:43.655
He knows she's dead even though the news article said that it was an apparent death, her body was never found but so when he had previously said like it's terrible what he did to her?
01:27:44.377 --> 01:27:44.717
like what?
01:27:44.738 --> 01:27:46.202
what was he alluding to?
01:27:46.202 --> 01:27:47.505
Does he elaborate on that?
01:27:47.966 --> 01:27:56.823
yeah, so at some point of the conversation, if you push into that region, he gets again noticeably angry and frustrated.
01:27:56.823 --> 01:28:25.855
Um, but does tell you about his hatred for Jakob, that Jakob was a cruel, is a cruel man and let out the cruelest of his nature on her because she was so kind and would overlook so many of his pitfalls.
01:28:25.855 --> 01:29:12.617
Please those around her to appease her parents, appease Iris, that she just wanted to make everyone happy and for Jakob to take advantage of that and to cause harm to her made him monstrous in Gaspar's mind.
01:29:15.662 --> 01:29:17.328
So we kill Jakob, drown him.
01:29:20.684 --> 01:29:21.827
I mean that's one solution.
01:29:21.827 --> 01:29:30.579
Yes, and we don't even know if that's a solution, though it can't hurt that's true, yeah, um, we'll figure out a solution in a minute.
01:29:31.020 --> 01:29:36.260
Yeah, okay I believe this is a good place for us to go on an intermission.
01:29:36.260 --> 01:29:57.448
Uh, so we're gonna take a brief intermission and allow the shadows to deepen oh every time, every time, the trauma to deepen and the mysteries to simmer.
01:29:57.969 --> 01:29:59.712
Therapy, therapy, therapy.
01:29:59.712 --> 01:30:03.735
Back to bath For the next 15 minutes.
01:30:05.920 --> 01:30:07.619
Immerse yourself in the atmospheric embrace of our interlude.
01:30:07.619 --> 01:30:21.045
Whether you are watching our video, where enchanting fog scenes will drift across the screen, or listening along to the haunting strains of Slovenian folk tunes, take this time to refresh yourself.
01:30:21.045 --> 01:30:32.387
Sip a glass of water courtesy of Akka Fresh from the well and perhaps indulge in a small treat.
01:30:32.387 --> 01:30:44.373
I know I will Let the whispers of the land call to you as we prepare to delve back into the enigmatic world of Vossen Slavine Lands.
01:30:44.373 --> 01:30:50.511
A timer will count us down, guiding us back into the heart of our adventure.
01:30:50.511 --> 01:30:56.671
Return soon, as the shadows await and the veil beckons.
01:30:56.671 --> 01:31:08.405
Goodbye for now, my dear rose, why would you bloom?
01:31:26.126 --> 01:31:27.949
Why would you wilt?
01:31:27.949 --> 01:31:38.886
Come with me, tell us where.
01:31:38.886 --> 01:31:41.689
Tell us what is it foreign?
01:31:41.689 --> 01:31:55.243
Foreign?
01:31:55.243 --> 01:32:23.095
So then he let me go.
01:32:23.095 --> 01:32:24.778
My heart is sad.
01:32:24.778 --> 01:32:28.369
Come with me now.
01:32:28.369 --> 01:32:36.396
The clowns silently cut off their heads.
01:32:36.396 --> 01:32:40.118
Then they came to their senses.
01:32:40.118 --> 01:33:18.331
They were sad is foreign.
01:33:18.652 --> 01:33:21.675
If the wheat is warm, warm it.
01:33:21.675 --> 01:33:22.695
Warm it.
01:33:22.695 --> 01:33:26.567
And the other one, the father, warm it.
01:33:26.567 --> 01:33:27.168
Warm it.
01:33:27.168 --> 01:33:53.506
Foreign.
01:33:53.506 --> 01:33:55.510
When the sun rises in winter.
01:33:55.510 --> 01:33:58.913
You will sleep, you will sleep.
01:33:58.913 --> 01:34:05.333
You will sleep because your little ones will wake us up.
01:34:05.333 --> 01:34:08.506
You will sleep, you will sleep.
01:34:08.506 --> 01:34:09.490
You will sleep.
01:34:09.490 --> 01:34:19.903
My flower bloomed.
01:34:19.903 --> 01:34:23.164
Oh, oh, my dear.
01:34:23.164 --> 01:34:24.404
Where did you go?
01:34:24.404 --> 01:35:04.703
Oh, where did you go, my dear?
01:35:04.703 --> 01:42:20.789
Oh, my mother will fall asleep, my dear, I will wait for you, my dear, no-transcript.
01:42:20.789 --> 01:42:36.158
And when you come back, tell me when will it be like before?
01:42:36.158 --> 01:42:49.417
It's so nice to be home by the river with your sweet voice.
01:42:49.417 --> 01:44:33.702
© BF-WATCH TV 2021.
01:44:33.702 --> 01:44:36.322
I was sleeping alone.
01:44:36.322 --> 01:44:37.682
The world was frozen.
01:44:37.682 --> 01:44:40.703
Far away is my native land.
01:44:40.703 --> 01:45:23.599
¶¶, ¶¶, thank you, ¶¶, ¶¶, thank you, tell us, tell us where you are.
01:45:23.599 --> 01:45:45.078
I'm sorry to ask you.
01:45:45.078 --> 01:45:53.385
I'm sorry to ask you, tell us, tell us where you are.
01:45:53.385 --> 01:46:11.019
I'm sorry to ask you, I'm sorry to ask you.
01:46:18.262 --> 01:46:20.385
Welcome back everyone.
01:46:20.385 --> 01:46:29.630
Wow, we're here again and we just had a very emotional experience in a cemetery.
01:46:29.630 --> 01:46:32.153
What, what do you mean?
01:46:32.774 --> 01:46:34.275
just your average cemetery experience.
01:46:34.275 --> 01:46:35.457
We were having a conversation.
01:46:35.457 --> 01:46:35.898
What do you?
01:46:35.917 --> 01:46:36.198
mean.
01:46:36.198 --> 01:46:58.902
So we just wrapped up our conversation with gasper um, who we've learned quite a bit from, and yet surprisingly little also and surprisingly little also, yes, so but we're not done with him yet yes've got a couple more
01:46:58.962 --> 01:47:01.225
tears we can wring out of this stone.
01:47:01.225 --> 01:47:08.274
Oh my god, oh my god men's emotions wow.
01:47:08.895 --> 01:47:15.448
I take men's emotions very seriously alright.
01:47:15.507 --> 01:47:28.064
So yeah, he's been telling you little bits about Zoya, about Jakob, about the history between him and Zoya.
01:47:30.331 --> 01:47:30.712
Were they.
01:47:30.712 --> 01:47:33.637
Do I get a sense from the things he's saying?
01:47:33.637 --> 01:47:36.283
Were they mutually in love or was he just like kind of obsessed with her?
01:47:37.369 --> 01:47:40.095
Give me an observation.
01:47:45.462 --> 01:47:45.963
One success.
01:47:48.552 --> 01:47:50.497
All right, they were mutual.
01:47:51.118 --> 01:47:55.850
Oh Whoa, Although Requited even Although.
01:47:58.034 --> 01:48:00.057
At least he believes they were mutual.
01:48:00.057 --> 01:48:03.783
From what you I mean, you're only getting one side of the story.
01:48:03.925 --> 01:48:04.104
Yeah.
01:48:05.630 --> 01:48:16.105
I can only tell you what he says, but from it it does seem like her actions were indicating a mutual feeling that she feared expression of it.
01:48:16.105 --> 01:48:27.500
She feared expression of it that they were spending a lot of time with each other in secret.
01:48:27.500 --> 01:48:34.100
That she was aware that this was a secret relationship.
01:48:34.100 --> 01:48:42.337
It was actually her initiation that made it secret, because she wanted to keep it from Jakob.
01:48:43.252 --> 01:48:44.036
Which makes sense.
01:48:44.810 --> 01:48:47.939
But it was not physically intimate.
01:48:47.939 --> 01:48:57.076
Okay, it was an emotionally intimate relationship that she still felt the need to keep from Jakob.
01:48:58.738 --> 01:48:58.997
Okay.
01:49:00.439 --> 01:49:10.037
Because he's a douchebag yep yeah, a violent douchebag hurt.
01:49:10.056 --> 01:49:26.203
Chef, I'm trying to decide if we want to like poke the bear a little bit more I mean, I feel like we haven't necessarily like found out anything from him that we didn't already like suspect.
01:49:26.203 --> 01:49:36.917
What I'm particularly interested in Although I'm not sure if, like, this is the right situation where you get the information but like, what's she doing now?
01:49:36.917 --> 01:49:38.038
Where is she?
01:49:38.038 --> 01:49:39.042
She's in a lake.
01:49:39.042 --> 01:49:40.006
Like, what's going on with that?
01:49:40.006 --> 01:49:40.179
Is there she?
01:49:40.179 --> 01:49:40.462
She's in a lake.
01:49:40.394 --> 01:49:44.654
What's going on with that Is there anything he goes to see her, he goes to see her.
01:49:44.835 --> 01:49:50.261
Can we get any practical information that we can use to resolve the problem?
01:49:51.270 --> 01:49:58.918
And from before it seems like he's intentionally dodging that aspect of the conversation.
01:50:00.850 --> 01:50:03.740
So I don't know if we have to press him for this, alright.
01:50:03.740 --> 01:50:09.536
I don't know if that's wise, because he's already going through it.
01:50:10.512 --> 01:50:12.176
Has he grounded more?
01:50:12.176 --> 01:50:18.596
Is he more in the present now Emotionally, isn't quite as dissociated after talking about it.
01:50:30.554 --> 01:50:32.256
Or is he still in the void?
01:50:33.057 --> 01:50:39.208
he is, but um you're noticing that he is reaching that wall, that like social wall of, like his battery is depleted.
01:50:39.208 --> 01:50:39.890
He is a hermit, he is exhausted.
01:50:40.470 --> 01:50:57.059
This has been an emotionally tolling experience and he's starting to get slower and quieter and you can tell that he's looking quite tired.
01:51:00.550 --> 01:51:01.045
Should we walk him home?
01:51:01.045 --> 01:51:01.872
Yeah, let's walk, quite tired Should we walk him home.
01:51:01.932 --> 01:51:02.796
Yeah, let's walk you home.
01:51:02.956 --> 01:51:05.456
Send him home and we can follow him tonight.
01:51:07.291 --> 01:51:08.114
I could walk him home.
01:51:08.114 --> 01:51:10.356
I don't think we all need to walk him home, right.
01:51:10.670 --> 01:51:11.836
Do you know how to get back to his house?
01:51:12.470 --> 01:51:14.238
He knows how to get back to his house, that's true.
01:51:16.511 --> 01:51:18.994
Last time we weren't so successful, but you might have to drag him.
01:51:22.570 --> 01:51:23.273
Okay, what should we do?
01:51:23.273 --> 01:51:23.635
Wall?
01:51:23.654 --> 01:51:23.956
can I?
01:51:23.956 --> 01:51:24.958
Can we swing by the church?
01:51:24.958 --> 01:51:29.462
I kind of wanted to ask father matey, does he come here often?
01:51:29.462 --> 01:51:33.912
Is there a grave site for zoya I?
01:51:33.932 --> 01:51:34.373
imagine.
01:51:34.373 --> 01:51:40.984
Yeah, so father matey will um very openly answer your question.
01:51:40.984 --> 01:51:49.524
He comes often never into the church itself, but only to the cemetery to visit her grave.
01:51:49.524 --> 01:51:57.458
Although the body was never recovered, she does still have a gravestone and he can point you out to it if you would like.
01:51:58.270 --> 01:52:00.097
Sure, maybe we could check it out.
01:52:00.097 --> 01:52:10.926
I also wanted to know, before Zoya's death, what sort of relationship did Gaspar have?
01:52:10.926 --> 01:52:20.442
Did he have a job, did he have a profession before Zoya's death, or was he always sort of like a castaway?
01:52:20.442 --> 01:52:23.136
He's an artist, he's an artist.
01:52:24.621 --> 01:52:24.720
No.
01:52:25.289 --> 01:52:32.817
And, as he, you're having this conversation with Father Matej because Luca is taking Gaspar off All of a sudden.
01:52:32.856 --> 01:52:34.375
Matej has loose lips.
01:52:35.251 --> 01:52:37.951
He just needs a time to traumatize him, to get him to talk.
01:52:37.951 --> 01:52:41.033
Last time, this isn't like teenagers.
01:52:41.033 --> 01:52:44.118
This isn't speaking ill.
01:52:44.118 --> 01:52:45.219
This is gossip.
01:52:45.979 --> 01:52:50.104
This isn't gossip, this is history All right.
01:52:50.144 --> 01:52:51.405
Congratulations.
01:52:51.405 --> 01:52:56.869
Whatever, it's gossip when a 19-year-old does it, abusive behavior is still history.
01:52:57.489 --> 01:53:00.657
You just have to wait six years and then it turns from gossip into history.
01:53:00.657 --> 01:53:01.779
Okay, gotcha, all right.
01:53:01.779 --> 01:53:02.159
No, it's fine.
01:53:02.159 --> 01:53:03.944
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're getting out of the cloth.
01:53:05.292 --> 01:53:06.936
The rules are loose and fast.
01:53:07.037 --> 01:53:08.662
Yeah, we know, all right, All good.
01:53:10.430 --> 01:53:39.884
Anyways, he is open about just very like surface things, like he doesn't come to the church, he goes to visit her grave, he's an artist, he doesn't express judgment in any of these things and I think that was a lot of what your conversation with him before, kind of required judgment to be passed and you did push him to such a thing, and you did push him to such a thing, mm-hmm.
01:53:43.590 --> 01:53:54.204
Anyways, so he shows you to her grave as he's saying yes, so Gaspar was an artist, although my understanding is that he hasn't painted anything in years.
01:53:55.069 --> 01:53:58.073
I can understand he was pretty hit by the passing.
01:53:58.073 --> 01:53:59.453
I can understand he was pretty hit by the passing.
01:53:59.533 --> 01:54:08.081
But as you do arrive at her headstone, you do notice a piece of paper folded up, piece of paper sitting on it.
01:54:08.081 --> 01:54:10.302
That just says my love.
01:54:10.302 --> 01:54:12.744
It says my heart, my heart.
01:54:13.025 --> 01:54:14.806
Thank you, disembodied.
01:54:15.811 --> 01:54:18.661
I read it, handed it over and immediately forgot about it.
01:54:22.570 --> 01:54:24.016
Father Matej is not with me, is he?
01:54:26.853 --> 01:54:34.654
When you're, he shows you the space, the headstone, and then you can part ways, if you would like, before picking up this piece of paper.
01:54:35.974 --> 01:54:37.479
Yeah, I show it to Aka.
01:54:38.912 --> 01:54:46.217
I actually thought, if it's okay, I kind of wanted to go back um and check on evelyn now.
01:54:46.217 --> 01:55:06.684
Like, knowing what we know about jacob, I'm like pretty concerned about her well-being oh, yeah, yeah um, so while you're talking to father mate and you're taking him back to the house, I think I'd like to go check in on her to make sure we don't get a drowned girl round to electric boogaloo.
01:55:06.944 --> 01:55:12.537
All right, so we will finish up the scene with Joseph and then we will go to Aka.
01:55:16.569 --> 01:55:19.152
So it's a small note.
01:55:19.152 --> 01:55:24.475
The world feels so much colder without you here, and my heart aches with a sorrow words cannot express.
01:55:24.475 --> 01:55:27.279
I bring these flowers as a small token of my love.
01:55:27.279 --> 01:55:31.341
I will always carry for you A love that time can never fade.
01:55:31.341 --> 01:55:38.006
Though I no longer see you smile or hear you laugh, you remain in every breath I take and every beat of my heart.
01:55:38.006 --> 01:55:42.689
I miss you more than I can bear, and not a day passes that I don't long to see your smile again.
01:55:42.689 --> 01:55:52.675
Rest peacefully, my love, until we meet again, you will forever be my light in the darkness and this accompanies a small bunch of daisies.
01:55:54.720 --> 01:55:55.462
He's a romantic.
01:55:55.462 --> 01:55:59.961
They were just friends.
01:55:59.980 --> 01:56:00.969
They were just friends.
01:56:00.969 --> 01:56:03.356
They were just roommates.
01:56:03.356 --> 01:56:05.157
They were roommates.
01:56:08.113 --> 01:56:12.784
I will put that note back on the grave and I'll head down to Jakob's.
01:56:13.567 --> 01:56:13.846
All right.
01:56:14.990 --> 01:56:15.292
All right.
01:56:15.292 --> 01:56:20.722
So, aka, you make your way towards Jakob's house.
01:56:20.722 --> 01:56:42.688
So, down the hill, at the base of the hill, you find Jakob's house estate, as one might have referred to it as earlier, and you can see that Evelyn is outside hanging up laundry on the clothesline great.
01:56:42.707 --> 01:57:16.957
Yeah, I'm kind of hoping, since it's like the afternoon, that maybe yakov will be out doing something else, so I'll go up to her and, before anything else, I kind of want to like I'm, while we're interacting, I'm sort of like looking her over, checking to see like if she has any visible bruises, if it looks like she's like favoring an injury of any kind, um anything like that give me an observation all right.
01:57:16.957 --> 01:57:23.226
Observation All right, ooh, she's gone.
01:57:26.489 --> 01:57:30.114
Is this like emotional observation or physical investigation.
01:57:30.175 --> 01:57:34.462
Yes, physical investigation sorry, okay, it's the same number.
01:57:34.462 --> 01:57:38.427
Oh, gotcha, okay that is Holy moly.
01:57:38.427 --> 01:57:40.015
Four successes.
01:57:40.015 --> 01:57:39.934
You're saving them all for now.
01:57:39.934 --> 01:57:39.853
Oh my god, dude.
01:57:39.853 --> 01:57:39.871
Yeah, wow, that is holy moly.
01:57:39.871 --> 01:57:43.643
Four successes dude yeah, wow, I'm.
01:57:43.643 --> 01:57:46.090
It turns out actually, aka is just a victim.
01:57:47.391 --> 01:57:57.296
It's her colleague you mentally and emotionally harm this woman just by looking at her it's investigation, it's investigation.
01:57:57.555 --> 01:57:58.618
I just learned a lot.
01:57:58.618 --> 01:57:59.158
Yeah, you learned.
01:58:01.342 --> 01:58:01.844
She's pregnant.
01:58:03.030 --> 01:58:04.412
You found out.
01:58:04.412 --> 01:58:05.194
Congratulations.
01:58:05.815 --> 01:58:07.759
No, we've already established.
01:58:07.899 --> 01:58:16.921
I mean it would be news to her she was and a very special skill for Akada.
01:58:16.921 --> 01:58:19.770
Alright, alright, anyways.
01:58:19.770 --> 01:58:20.372
So Four successes.
01:58:20.372 --> 01:58:21.835
Special skill for akada?
01:58:21.835 --> 01:58:23.257
Um all right, anyways, uh, so four successes.
01:58:23.257 --> 01:58:33.162
Y'all only ever get like four successes or none yeah, there is no in between, there's barely any, just like single success.
01:58:33.323 --> 01:58:40.863
I, I did the task um is investigation the one where then you could like use it later if you get extra successes.
01:58:41.452 --> 01:58:44.159
Oh, let me double check, because I do remember that being….
01:58:44.511 --> 01:58:48.689
I think that was observation, because I got that and I have no investigation.
01:58:48.689 --> 01:58:50.157
I have very little.
01:58:51.332 --> 01:58:56.992
If you roll more than required, you find more clues, understand the context or simply….
01:58:56.992 --> 01:59:06.851
This is the one where you can simply enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done which I'm not going to do to you here, because four is a lot and also this is kind of important.
01:59:06.851 --> 01:59:30.658
Yeah, so you do notice that she is wearing long sleeves and she also has a long, a tall frilly collar and, as you recall, her garb in the morning and last night.
01:59:30.658 --> 01:59:33.238
Those are common themes.
01:59:35.390 --> 01:59:38.368
And is that unusual compared to the garb of other people in town, Like is it hot enough out?
01:59:38.368 --> 01:59:38.579
It's hot, it's summer.
01:59:38.579 --> 01:59:38.796
It's summer.
01:59:38.796 --> 01:59:39.143
Long sleeves is a bit bizarre.
01:59:39.143 --> 01:59:39.462
It's doable in this climate.
01:59:39.462 --> 01:59:40.391
And is that unusual compared to the garb of other people in town Like is it hot?
01:59:40.359 --> 01:59:40.872
enough out that long sleeves.
01:59:40.872 --> 01:59:41.082
It's hot, it's summer.
01:59:41.082 --> 01:59:42.805
Long sleeves is a bit bizarre.
01:59:42.805 --> 01:59:48.399
It's doable in this climate, but it is a bit bizarre.
01:59:48.710 --> 01:59:50.703
Especially with the high collar yeah.
01:59:52.390 --> 01:59:52.693
She is.
01:59:52.974 --> 02:00:05.813
I mean, at first you might have thought, oh wow, she's a fancy lady, she's wearing the latest fashions, but now that you have all this history it is a bit suspicious.
02:00:05.813 --> 02:00:32.685
Um, you do also notice that every once in a while, as she's hanging the clothes on the clothesline, she kind of like winces as she raises her right arm and then you notice that she's kind of like she rubs it a little bit on the bicep area.
02:00:32.685 --> 02:01:08.801
You also start to notice that while she seems really sweet and lively might not quite be the word but a little bit more active in her speech, she looks tired, she looks very tired, remembering that she's only 30-something.
02:01:08.801 --> 02:01:28.037
You really see that she looks older, older, that all of the everything is put together.
02:01:28.037 --> 02:01:39.001
She's gone through all the correct motions to present herself as put together, um, and presentable.
02:01:39.001 --> 02:01:56.350
But the more you watch her, as you're like approaching, the more you realize there are these little signs all over the place that maybe that put togetherness has been a struggle.
02:01:56.350 --> 02:02:03.319
It's not so easy.
02:02:03.319 --> 02:02:13.497
I know you got four, but I think that's it.
02:02:13.838 --> 02:02:14.079
Okay.
02:02:15.712 --> 02:02:18.454
It does kind of confirm your suspicions though.
02:02:18.555 --> 02:02:21.797
Yeah, I mean, I suspect that that's the case.
02:02:21.797 --> 02:02:26.337
Tiger won't change his stripes, hmm, okay.
02:02:26.337 --> 02:02:35.010
Well, in real life, ellie doesn't know shit about dealing with domestic violence victim advocacy, so I don't want to fuck it up in fantasy world either.
02:02:35.010 --> 02:02:43.403
So I'll probably just leave that and um try and kill him later because I'm just gonna like fuck it up.
02:02:43.403 --> 02:02:49.560
I'm gonna say something insensitive and like just not gonna handle this well, so, uh, I won't.
02:02:49.560 --> 02:02:54.375
I won't bring it up to her or anything it's messy.
02:02:54.635 --> 02:02:58.060
It's a messy thing to handle yeah, very.
02:02:58.060 --> 02:03:05.341
It's, yeah, very complicated and akka probably doesn't have as much experience with it yeah, no, she's just like she's a nurse.
02:03:05.462 --> 02:03:23.775
I mean like in theory, like I guess I could like leave her a little like something to like a painkiller or if, like maybe I mentioned like, oh, like I noticed your shoulder seemed sore, like here's a recipe for a poultice or something you know.
02:03:23.775 --> 02:03:24.698
But like I.
02:03:24.698 --> 02:03:38.836
I don't know that there's like anything I can do to help her besides kill her husband yeah sometimes support and solidarity can go a long way yeah, cool.
02:03:39.136 --> 02:03:39.899
So can murder.
02:03:40.359 --> 02:03:40.900
So can murder.
02:03:40.962 --> 02:03:42.761
In this case, that's pretty big.
02:03:44.011 --> 02:03:45.838
This problem has a name and an address.
02:03:47.949 --> 02:03:50.438
Vengeance seems to be the theme.
02:03:50.438 --> 02:03:56.199
Yeah Well, I'm just saying if people are drowning.
02:03:57.431 --> 02:03:59.179
I got a guy who needs to drown.
02:04:03.813 --> 02:04:05.320
We got a girl who could do it.
02:04:05.320 --> 02:04:06.104
Yeah, too god forbid.
02:04:06.145 --> 02:04:12.944
Women have hobbies oh man okay, well, that's.
02:04:12.944 --> 02:04:15.250
That's all for me all right.
02:04:17.654 --> 02:04:21.063
Um, so you do actually go to talk to Evelyn, though.
02:04:21.063 --> 02:04:23.978
Right, you had kind of established that you want to go talk to her.
02:04:23.978 --> 02:04:24.720
Give her something.
02:04:25.689 --> 02:04:40.622
Yeah, I just I think I just make small talk with her and maybe help her with hanging up the laundry and then say something Like I noticed you know that your shoulder seems like it's bothering you.
02:04:41.082 --> 02:05:13.931
I have a recipe for a poultice if you need yeah, she smiles and she thanks you and asks you like she participates in the small talks, asks you how the investigation is going, how your day's been, um, where are the other two at, as she then notices joseph arriving hey, there yeah, I might ask like what time she expects her husband to be home, or like what time he usually gets home.
02:05:14.412 --> 02:05:36.859
I think I would like to try to be here when he's here until he leaves, basically so that he can't do anything, do anything to her gotcha all right so yeah, she'll um, welcome the company and just.
02:05:37.279 --> 02:05:40.689
I mean, she just makes small talk and asks you how the investigation is going.
02:05:40.689 --> 02:05:43.917
She doesn't pry anything into anything.
02:05:43.917 --> 02:05:58.453
Um, she doesn't do anything to rock the boat mm-hmm, yeah, we'll help with her chores yeah you, you sense a bit of relief that there are outsiders here.
02:06:01.118 --> 02:06:03.363
Because she basically is an outsider herself.
02:06:05.993 --> 02:06:06.695
She's been here in.
02:06:06.871 --> 02:06:10.537
Ucons with a bunch of people who have always lived in Ucons.
02:06:11.572 --> 02:06:13.435
Chat with her about her family.
02:06:13.435 --> 02:06:15.181
Does she have any siblings?
02:06:15.181 --> 02:06:18.837
See if I can get her to tell me about her family.
02:06:19.390 --> 02:06:25.279
Yeah, she has a sister um both of her parents are still alive.
02:06:25.279 --> 02:06:28.286
She goes to visit them on holiday.
02:06:29.689 --> 02:06:34.478
Um good yeah I remember correctly that she goes to paris.
02:06:35.279 --> 02:06:35.881
I'll ask her about.
02:06:35.940 --> 02:06:39.878
Yeah, she has been to paris, yeah um, it's been a while since she's been.
02:06:39.878 --> 02:06:46.001
Actually, ever since she married Jakob, she hasn't gone on any big trips.
02:06:47.002 --> 02:06:58.962
Oh gosh, he's very tied to his business and very concerned Well you know, a woman can travel on her own these days, fair Fair these days Fair.
02:06:58.962 --> 02:07:08.358
Fair If you're ever feeling a little, you know, homesick, or you know what is it called House fever, Cabin fever.
02:07:08.689 --> 02:07:20.134
She looks wistfully into the distance and lets out a soft sigh and kind of avoids responding a little bit.
02:07:22.841 --> 02:07:25.618
Nia Herzog seems like a traveler type.
02:07:25.618 --> 02:07:28.670
Maybe you should talk to her yeah.
02:07:29.310 --> 02:07:30.055
She's rich.
02:07:30.591 --> 02:07:39.155
Oh she is, although I don't suppose we have too much in common, to be completely honest.
02:07:42.550 --> 02:07:43.011
Nothing.
02:07:43.011 --> 02:07:47.282
You never know until you try what.
02:07:47.282 --> 02:07:50.136
I don't live here, I don't know.
02:07:52.070 --> 02:07:52.993
How's your delivery?
02:07:52.993 --> 02:07:54.219
How's your guy delivery going?
02:07:54.250 --> 02:07:54.912
Yeah, how's my guy?
02:07:54.932 --> 02:07:56.809
delivery going yes, we can pivot over to that.
02:07:56.989 --> 02:08:02.055
So you are able to walk him back to his cottage.
02:08:02.055 --> 02:08:06.989
And now that you're inside, there are a couple things.
02:08:07.029 --> 02:08:07.813
You're inside.
02:08:07.813 --> 02:08:09.198
Yes, you're so fucking in.
02:08:10.591 --> 02:08:11.895
So you help him in.
02:08:11.895 --> 02:08:14.898
And he is very tired, he wants to go lay down.
02:08:14.898 --> 02:08:16.515
So you help him into the bedroom.
02:08:16.515 --> 02:08:17.217
Tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck.
02:08:18.451 --> 02:08:31.596
Tuck you in really tight give me an investigation great nope, no, it added up to six, does that count?
02:08:32.859 --> 02:08:35.362
no, okay all right, so you just see.
02:08:35.362 --> 02:09:05.365
So, like in one of the side rooms, you do see that there is something covered up in a white sheet, um, and then next to his bed there's like a little side table, and the side table does, oh a necklace a blue stone necklace oh I get it.
02:09:05.426 --> 02:09:06.407
Yes, give it to me.
02:09:06.407 --> 02:09:08.292
Just kidding, I'm not gonna take it.
02:09:08.292 --> 02:09:10.078
Um, how old is he about?
02:09:10.078 --> 02:09:10.600
How old is he?
02:09:10.600 --> 02:09:11.664
I don't think we ever established.
02:09:11.664 --> 02:09:13.690
I know he's described as an old man.
02:09:13.690 --> 02:09:17.337
He's in his late 30s, late 30s old, for me.
02:09:17.396 --> 02:09:19.980
He's been an alcoholic for six years.
02:09:20.082 --> 02:09:22.305
Oh, that's fair Probably longer.
02:09:22.470 --> 02:09:30.023
He's probably been an alcoholic for longer, but it's really been exacerbated by the death of Zoya.
02:09:30.630 --> 02:09:35.922
Has he been chatty at all with me on the walk back?
02:09:35.922 --> 02:09:40.451
I imagine Luca would have been somewhat chatty, just talking like small talker Forcefully.
02:09:40.850 --> 02:09:52.185
you can continue to get information from him, but he's like really gotten to a point where, unless you are prompting him with questions, he is not just talking.
02:09:52.729 --> 02:09:57.037
But like what, if I like small talk prompts, Like how?
02:09:57.077 --> 02:09:57.819
is do you fish?
02:09:58.069 --> 02:09:59.154
Like do you go out on the lake?
02:09:59.154 --> 02:10:02.719
Like little things like that, Not pushing him on this.
02:10:03.411 --> 02:10:12.956
His responses are a lot of like yeah and grunting and no, not really.
02:10:12.956 --> 02:10:19.595
The shortest possible response is, at this point Gotcha, okay, he's all talked out.
02:10:19.595 --> 02:10:23.519
He's starting to really fade.
02:10:27.530 --> 02:10:30.461
Were these hers and I point to them.
02:10:30.461 --> 02:10:31.534
I don't actually pick them up.
02:10:34.872 --> 02:10:40.091
He goes over by himself and picks them up and he holds them.
02:10:40.091 --> 02:10:41.855
They're very pretty.
02:10:44.541 --> 02:10:44.981
Beautiful.
02:10:44.981 --> 02:10:45.644
Put them on.
02:10:45.644 --> 02:10:48.976
Show us QVC style.
02:10:48.976 --> 02:10:53.235
Ooh la la.
02:10:53.350 --> 02:10:54.510
He's going with all of your outfits.
02:10:54.510 --> 02:10:56.698
Ooh, Zoya, come back to life.
02:10:58.530 --> 02:11:01.581
One of the few things that we found next morning.
02:11:02.752 --> 02:11:03.515
Oh, I'm sorry.
02:11:03.750 --> 02:11:09.804
I managed to pick them up before anyone else noticed.
02:11:12.131 --> 02:11:13.417
I'm glad you have something of hers.
02:11:13.417 --> 02:11:29.978
You know my sister disappeared a while back and Pico was hers, so at least I have that Been looking for her, but I don't know.
02:11:29.978 --> 02:11:33.840
It makes me happy that you have something to remember her by.
02:11:35.551 --> 02:11:45.661
He has like a grimaced smile on his face and he puts his hand on your shoulder and then he walks back over to his bed.
02:11:45.661 --> 02:12:19.265
You hear it creak beneath his weight as he sits down on it, his shoulders slumped forward, and then he leans back and kind of curls up on his side and just kind of sits there with his eyes open for a little while well, I'll leave you be.
02:12:19.832 --> 02:12:21.217
Do you mind if I check in on you later?
02:12:23.935 --> 02:12:28.101
yeah, that'd be fine okay friendship.
02:12:28.283 --> 02:12:30.627
I'll just I will.
02:12:30.726 --> 02:12:33.350
I will like, as I'm leaving, just be like I'm not gonna touch anything.
02:12:33.350 --> 02:12:44.525
I'm not gonna like invade his privacy, um, but I will like look around yeah, you do peek around a couple different there.
02:12:44.626 --> 02:12:49.421
I mean, it's a small cottage so there aren't like too many other sure rooms that you haven't already seen.
02:12:49.421 --> 02:13:06.033
Um, so there's like the one side room where you saw the basically it's an empty room with some shelving along one side, um, and then something in some of like in the middle of the room, covered in a white cloth what shape is this thing?
02:13:06.074 --> 02:13:07.076
covered in a white cloth?
02:13:08.979 --> 02:13:09.881
about?
02:13:10.582 --> 02:13:21.523
uh, your height maybe three feet wide does it have corners like a box, or is it like it has like yeah, is it?
02:13:21.542 --> 02:13:29.382
potentially like a canvas on a on an easel shape, potentially okay cool.
02:13:30.244 --> 02:13:37.002
Um, I have no idea what that is, but I'm not gonna be like you failed your investigation check, but obviously there's a thing in the room.
02:13:37.063 --> 02:13:40.158
Okay, yeah, but I'm luca doesn't, but it's a good.
02:13:41.590 --> 02:13:50.376
That's what I imagined it is, anyway, and then there's the kitchen dining room, which is a small space and that's basically the whole cottage.
02:13:50.376 --> 02:13:51.399
Okay.
02:13:51.439 --> 02:13:51.659
Yeah.
02:13:52.931 --> 02:13:53.895
He lives simply.
02:13:53.895 --> 02:13:56.779
It's not a lot of stuff in there.
02:13:59.492 --> 02:14:01.177
What time is it about right now?
02:14:02.912 --> 02:14:20.698
We're probably getting up to two o'clock in the afternoon there is kind of this pain in your stomach, that kind of like oh right, I'm hungry, sharp kind of sting that reminds you of the time of day.
02:14:21.390 --> 02:14:21.731
Gotcha.
02:14:21.731 --> 02:14:26.314
Okay, I will just leave then and head over to.
02:14:26.314 --> 02:14:32.016
Well, I guess I'll head back in the direction that we were, yeah, and hopefully catch you guys.
02:14:32.016 --> 02:14:33.890
If I don't find you at the cemetery, I'll probably head back to Jakob's.
02:14:34.230 --> 02:14:37.057
If you're making your way back to the cemetery, you're going to pass Jakob's house.
02:14:37.057 --> 02:14:38.381
Jakob's house.
02:14:45.489 --> 02:14:47.921
We're probably all having a nice lunch, having some fruit tea hanging out with evil and yeah, yeah since we got all.
02:14:47.940 --> 02:14:49.970
We helped her with her chores, so they all got done early, um, although you are.
02:14:50.631 --> 02:14:56.431
If you're having lunch with evelyn, you are remembering you did get invited to the hercog tomorrow.
02:14:56.532 --> 02:14:59.238
That was tomorrow because this is still the day that we met.
02:14:59.439 --> 02:15:01.551
Oh yeah, same day never mind.
02:15:02.012 --> 02:15:06.606
We have a packed social counter thursday, tomorrow, give lunch tomorrow.
02:15:06.728 --> 02:15:08.613
That is correct, thank you.
02:15:08.613 --> 02:15:14.769
Yeah, it has been a long day and I it feels like it should be the following day.
02:15:14.788 --> 02:15:18.337
Yeah, we would never do nia like that.
02:15:18.337 --> 02:15:20.831
Nia right yeah.
02:15:22.015 --> 02:15:23.279
Nia.
02:15:23.279 --> 02:15:37.838
So when I get back I'll eat, because that's important, and then I'll just like mention that that I want to go back and check on what's his name Gasper.
02:15:37.838 --> 02:15:41.148
It's such an odd name, it doesn't stick in my brain.
02:15:41.148 --> 02:15:44.354
I could write it down um casper with a g.
02:15:44.375 --> 02:15:50.372
Yeah, that's how I'm gonna remember it now um like gas like we could check it like
02:15:50.393 --> 02:15:58.779
hermit like we're gonna check on him later just to make sure he's okay, like later today or like tomorrow later tonight, maybe at dus, maybe at dusk.
02:15:58.779 --> 02:16:00.844
My favorite time To make sure he's okay.
02:16:00.844 --> 02:16:01.854
Yes, wink.
02:16:02.451 --> 02:16:10.215
I mean yes, to make sure he's okay, but also wink, but that's all I got.
02:16:11.092 --> 02:16:17.193
But I'm also I'm hesitant to leave Evelyn alone at home alone with.
02:16:17.193 --> 02:16:18.237
Jakob tonight.
02:16:18.550 --> 02:16:21.470
Maybe we could take her because she hasn't been able to go to the.
02:16:21.470 --> 02:16:29.895
Oh well, he'd know that she's not there maybe we could take him since we're going to drown him anyway say we have a lead
02:16:31.599 --> 02:16:39.238
right all right so at some point you all like leave evelyn yeah we don't have like a side conversation.
02:16:39.238 --> 02:16:41.951
I mean you all can have like little side conversations.
02:16:41.951 --> 02:16:45.399
Um, I mean this is this.
02:16:45.399 --> 02:16:47.163
What are you all doing for the rest of the day?
02:16:47.163 --> 02:16:48.253
You have lunch with evelyn.
02:16:48.253 --> 02:16:51.781
Do you stay with evelyn the rest of the day?
02:16:51.781 --> 02:16:51.822
I?
02:16:53.024 --> 02:17:00.100
mean I feel like we would have side, we'd have to have some side conversations we can't like and I.
02:17:01.909 --> 02:17:06.119
So at some point Akka pulls you all aside and says let's drown him.
02:17:07.870 --> 02:17:12.775
I'm concerned that that won't actually fix the problem, because we don't know if that's going to necessarily.
02:17:12.909 --> 02:17:18.138
I'm not trying to fix the drowning problem, I'm trying to fix the Yakka problem.
02:17:18.270 --> 02:17:22.277
I wonder if we expose him if the town will reject him.
02:17:24.971 --> 02:17:25.876
I'm not optimistic.
02:17:26.191 --> 02:17:30.779
I'm not sure, given that I think people already know he's kind of a jerk.
02:17:31.870 --> 02:17:39.356
Seems like an open secret With my motivation to improve public health.
02:17:40.452 --> 02:17:44.132
I want to kill him public general.
02:17:44.153 --> 02:17:44.674
Well, what if?
02:17:44.693 --> 02:18:01.361
we like, frame him for zoya's murder like six years ago it could happen yeah, yeah, okay, sorry, we're brainstorming, no bad ideas yeah, I'm just like thinking of like how do we get rid of him without killing him per se?
02:18:02.310 --> 02:18:03.135
You object to killing him?
02:18:08.531 --> 02:18:09.434
Yes and no.
02:18:12.130 --> 02:18:16.983
We could lose him in the woods, I don't know.
02:18:18.691 --> 02:18:23.079
Or maybe we just present him to the spirit of Zoya and let her decide.
02:18:24.674 --> 02:18:28.299
That's what I mean when I say drown him, I guess that's fair.
02:18:28.851 --> 02:18:40.458
If we can get a boat and try to capture, recreate the scene and we have life jackets, I think that's probably the best option in terms of trying to make it seem, capture, recreate the scene and we have life jackets.
02:18:40.458 --> 02:18:47.270
Yeah, I think that's probably the best option in terms of trying to make it seem like an accident.
02:18:52.164 --> 02:18:52.465
I don't know.
02:18:52.465 --> 02:18:58.190
I think, either way, we need to get, we need to see her, yeah, so we know what kind of entity we're dealing with.
02:18:58.190 --> 02:19:19.967
So maybe we go by ourselves tonight and then bring him the next time yeah because, as shitty as yakub is, our priority should be the helping the people of this town and while I agree helping getting rid of, you know, getting rid of yakub in whatever way would be helpful to the people of this town he's not killing people.
02:19:20.207 --> 02:19:23.295
I'm not even thinking about like getting rid of him at this point.
02:19:23.295 --> 02:19:36.718
I'm just like worried that like he's gonna come home and like beat evil and yeah and by being here or keeping them apart from each other, like we can go, like, do investigation and try.
02:19:36.718 --> 02:19:39.382
It's an ethical conundrum it's like, are we?
02:19:39.403 --> 02:19:46.314
doing a greater good by going and doing our investigation tonight, knowing that that potentially means that she's being exposed to more physical violence?
02:19:46.314 --> 02:19:58.394
Or is it a greater good to specifically try to avoid her being exposed to physical violence as opposed to going and doing our little investigation of the spirit these?
02:19:58.394 --> 02:20:12.201
When you want to play with fucking domestic violence in your goofy fantasy setting, these are the issues that come up does okay question yes does evelyn know about gasper?
02:20:12.762 --> 02:20:17.136
well, I'm assuming she knows about gasper, but she probably doesn't know gasper she doesn't know, gasper.
02:20:17.136 --> 02:20:17.697
She doesn't know Gasper.
02:20:17.697 --> 02:20:30.903
She's only heard of Gasper or seen Gasper very briefly and she seems like a lovely lady and I wonder if she would be amenable to visiting Gasper with us.
02:20:30.903 --> 02:20:37.058
And if she's having a hard time at home she might think of an excuse to why she would do that.
02:20:37.331 --> 02:20:39.278
We can say she's helping us with the investigation.
02:20:39.558 --> 02:20:46.313
Yeah, true, we need a local to show us around because we got lost the last time.
02:20:46.313 --> 02:20:47.796
Yeah, we can leave a note for jacob before he gets home.
02:20:47.796 --> 02:20:56.720
If we leave before that, um, and gasper probably won't have the same animosity towards her yeah if he has never really met her before.
02:20:56.861 --> 02:21:00.899
She's like she's an outsider she isn't the same people who rejected him.
02:21:00.899 --> 02:21:08.281
And she's like a victim of the same situation that Zoya was a victim of, and if anything, she can stay in his cabin while we investigate.
02:21:08.409 --> 02:21:09.695
She doesn't need to come to the lake with us.
02:21:09.716 --> 02:21:11.316
That's true, they could have a little biscuit together.
02:21:12.290 --> 02:21:18.143
That if you mean like stay there for days or like or at least just tonight.
02:21:20.729 --> 02:21:22.155
So she's not like tagging along with us on our investigation?
02:21:22.174 --> 02:21:29.923
yeah, because I don't want to bring her to the lake in case yeah okay, so we are coming up on the end of the session, so I have two questions for you.
02:21:29.923 --> 02:21:35.022
One do you talk to evelyn about jacob at all?
02:21:38.936 --> 02:21:41.881
how do we hint at it without hinting at it?
02:21:44.486 --> 02:22:01.043
um, well, maybe as a follow-up to our conversation about cabin fever and traveling, I say, well, it's not quite a trip to paris, but we could use a local to tag along with us um out to gasper's uh cabin tonight.
02:22:01.043 --> 02:22:19.902
We had kind of a hard time interacting with him this afternoon and I think, you know, having somebody like yourself there would really help and it is such a lovely being out in nature at nighttime, where you can see the stars and hear the crickets yeah, it would be a huge help to our investigation and we won't go near the lake.
02:22:20.290 --> 02:22:24.236
If you're concerned about that, yeah, no manipulation role needed.
02:22:24.438 --> 02:22:26.300
She will agree to that.
02:22:26.300 --> 02:22:32.457
Yes, um, do you talk about yakub at all, though?
02:22:33.739 --> 02:22:40.481
uh, I don't think, if she doesn't bring it up, I don't think we bring it up, maybe we mentioned that we could leave him a note, Like just that.
02:22:40.990 --> 02:22:44.296
We could leave Jakob a note, so he doesn't come home and is concerned about your safety.
02:22:44.998 --> 02:22:45.158
Yeah.
02:22:45.629 --> 02:22:48.540
And saying it that way might inspire something.
02:22:49.329 --> 02:22:53.014
Because, we've known this woman for like a day or two.
02:22:53.114 --> 02:22:54.297
Yeah, we had breakfast with her.
02:22:54.297 --> 02:22:54.858
We're besties.
02:22:55.157 --> 02:22:55.859
We had cereal.
02:22:57.621 --> 02:22:59.504
We want to be like is your husband beating you.
02:22:59.924 --> 02:23:00.726
Do you feel safe?
02:23:02.251 --> 02:23:04.837
Can you all give me a learning roll, okay?
02:23:05.078 --> 02:23:05.740
I sure can.
02:23:06.350 --> 02:23:08.377
Oh, I'm good at learning, I'm good at learning.
02:23:08.858 --> 02:23:09.761
I rolled two ones.
02:23:09.761 --> 02:23:11.334
Does that do anything for me?
02:23:11.334 --> 02:23:11.694
It?
02:23:11.735 --> 02:23:11.956
does not.
02:23:11.976 --> 02:23:14.201
Snake eyes, nothing.
02:23:22.129 --> 02:23:24.818
Nothing, oh no, nothing, oh no.
02:23:24.818 --> 02:23:39.795
Alright, so the plan is to take Evelyn after dinner yeah to visit Gaspar.
02:23:44.143 --> 02:23:44.763
This is good.
02:23:46.130 --> 02:23:47.697
Jakob will join you all for dinner.
02:23:47.697 --> 02:24:10.056
So, after a day of spending with Evelyn, you will have dinner with Jakob and Evelyn Keep it together, after which he will retire to the writing room on the second floor of the house.
02:24:14.813 --> 02:24:17.596
So we go now, while he's not present.
02:24:18.709 --> 02:24:23.983
Yeah, I mean, maybe we brought it up during dinner that like, oh, like, evelyn's going to be joining us this evening.
02:24:24.149 --> 02:24:25.315
I would say let her bring it up.
02:24:25.435 --> 02:24:25.637
Yeah.
02:24:25.690 --> 02:24:28.012
If she wants to talk about it, she doesn't bring it up.
02:24:28.012 --> 02:24:30.216
Great, we won't talk about it, no problem.
02:24:33.683 --> 02:24:37.114
All right With that.
02:24:37.114 --> 02:24:48.012
All right, yeah With that.
02:24:48.012 --> 02:24:52.448
We are going to close the curtain on this installment of.
02:24:52.468 --> 02:24:52.808
Vossen, slavinland.
02:24:52.808 --> 02:25:02.352
Yeah Bye, the calls of the wild linger for next time.
02:25:02.352 --> 02:25:24.415
A heartfelt thanks to free league publishing for their steadfast support of independent ttrpg creators through the open gaming license rules and for crafting the rich tapestry of vossan, especially to the talented writers neil's hints, ne, niels Carlin and Richard Antoia for their exceptional setting guidelines.
02:25:24.415 --> 02:25:36.674
Our gratitude also extends to Tomas Herrenstam for the Year Zero game engine and to Niklas Lundmark for his crucial role in making this game accessible through translation.
02:25:36.674 --> 02:26:01.325
We also owe thanks to Nerea, whose haunting renditions of Jreyo, yijito and Andro have beautifully enhanced our intersequence, and to our incredible players Ellie, chris and Dan, whose performances breathe life into their characters and craft the tales that captivate us.
02:26:01.325 --> 02:26:07.222
Finally, thank you, russell, for helping me prep for these sessions and for moderating our channel.
02:26:08.291 --> 02:26:34.230
This project has been a profound journey, reconnecting with my heritage, a heritage disrupted by historical and personal trials, from the destruction of historical records during centuries of crusades and colonization, enforced language barriers due to assimilation theory in the 60s and the loss of my grandfather during the COVID-19 pandemic, my last direct connection with my homeland.
02:26:34.230 --> 02:26:41.603
For all those like myself striving to reclaim and redefine their cultural roots, I stand with you.
02:26:41.603 --> 02:26:45.620
May you find grace, empathy and kindness in your journey.
02:26:45.620 --> 02:26:51.416
As David Mitchell eloquently wrote in Cloud Atlas, our lives are not our own.
02:26:51.416 --> 02:26:58.824
We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness we birth our future.
02:26:58.824 --> 02:27:01.055
Thank you for joining us.
02:27:01.055 --> 02:27:06.601
Farewell for now, and may the echoes of the past guide you until we meet again next week.
