[SPEAKER_00]: In the years 1879, but the history's not our own, everything changed on July 3, 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg, the dead rose up, the shadows darkened, and a reckoning had begun.
[SPEAKER_00]: Humanity's worst nightmares now walk the wake and world, everything seemed to be headed to hell in a hand basket, humanity, however.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's more resilient than the terrors expected.
[SPEAKER_00]: A secret war began between the darkness, and those would stand against it.
[SPEAKER_00]: A few sturdy folks from all walks of life, from school moms to nuns, from snaker all salesmen to steadfast soldiers and children to old coots, have risen up to stand between their fellow humans and creatures born in the very pits of hell.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some were faded to fall, but others stood firm, the next hour or so, sit back.
[SPEAKER_00]: and listen to the stories of horror and heroism, recounting of the sacrifices these unsung heroes have made, enjoy these tales from the dead lands, and be warned, however, these tales are not for the faint of heart.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hello, and welcome once more to the ninth of the Smith dinner table actual play production of tales from the dead lands brought to you by our favorite folks over at pop it's coffee if you love great coffee head on over to pop it's coffee dot com pick up a bag and they will ship it anywhere in North America.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Last session you guys found a skull.
[SPEAKER_02]: You took the skull.
[SPEAKER_02]: to an Indian last, who made the skull talk?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, she talked for the skull in a different voice.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you discovered that you needed to find a total of seven.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, what sort I'm looking for?
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, but I'm going to lift.
[SPEAKER_02]: I could, I'm going to work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'll take the glyphs.
[SPEAKER_02]: All along the west coast, now you guys already know that three of you had of one of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: So in reality, as long as any one of you get a total of seven of these glyphs that you have dripped your blood upon, then you'll be able to trigger a flood.
[SPEAKER_02]: to bring down Grim and his 13 apostles.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, notice is in our circle.
[SPEAKER_07]: And there's something tricky about like we had to do it on a certain day or yes, there is a catch.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to do it on the, oh, where did it go?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the anniversary of their eating of grim, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So August 23rd.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it is currently March 30th.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you guys got a few months to get this done.
[SPEAKER_02]: You, you had already gone back to Shannon van and you had had a little powwowl with delinger and Hennington Smyth who happened to come across some information that something is going on back in doom town also known as the kind of good mora.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Pettington's smile had handed you a section of diary that, uh, and I can, I can reread it for you guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: That way, it brings you back to exactly why you're heading up that way.
[SPEAKER_02]: The scrap of paper reads as such, couldn't even consider it further.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was too afraid, mother had gone by then, and the whole west side of the town was in flames.
[SPEAKER_02]: You could hear folks screaming, folks we knew.
[SPEAKER_02]: Lord, I should have helped them, but I was crying and so very afraid.
[SPEAKER_02]: That thing, I dare not write of it again, was still out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I wasn't about to let it find me and Emily.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we ran.
[SPEAKER_02]: And as we ran past the waitley house, I remembered how Billy had said once that he was in the library there.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I'll picture of a lightning bolt in an old book.
[SPEAKER_02]: Such a strange thing to remember, but then again, there were so many strange things in that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Pittington Smiley, then Dylan's your both believe, it might be
[SPEAKER_02]: related to some of the dark dealings that the waitley family had because of the lightning bolt because of the lightning bolt.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, lightning bolt is a fairly common glyph used in magical magical in a cult writings.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to a library and letting a good old Doc Stanley there get his hands on some fresh supply of go Docs and hats.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that laughing I hear yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's Cornelius.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cornelius.
[SPEAKER_06]: Did I say the right name, Dan?
[SPEAKER_06]: Dan?
[SPEAKER_06]: So where did I get Cornelius from?
[SPEAKER_06]: Fuck, it's just middle name.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's probably the name of his next character, or like the third one down the row.
[SPEAKER_06]: The name fits the character.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's probably why.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's fair.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm saying I do have a red shirt on a hanger just for, you know, the moment it's not needed.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: How you have little faith?
[SPEAKER_02]: You think I would give you any kind of warning?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, you'll leave on a cliffhanger and make me wait a week to find out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that's fair.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fair.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, better cliffhanger than just running off of a cliff, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Too soon, too soon.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I bet he wishes the cliffhanger at that point, because he cared about it.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's survived then.
[SPEAKER_04]: All I'm saying is that at least that was final.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, there was no coming back from that one.
[SPEAKER_04]: So check that off the list.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't need to do that one again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fair enough.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So are we going by boat or by wagon to this place?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, well, by wagon.
[SPEAKER_02]: So from Shannon fan to Gamora, it's about 80.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's about 80 miles
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're not flying by Raven.
[SPEAKER_02]: We already now.
[SPEAKER_07]: I already did that once.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, that being said, this is the great maze.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's going to take probably four or five days by boat.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you go by the land, it could take even longer.
[SPEAKER_02]: then like two or three weeks depending on the weather and everything else that you run into.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, then we're going to the float and restaurant, which hasn't been made into a restaurant yet, but there's plans.
[SPEAKER_02]: We own that boat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just because of the nature of the, uh, let's see here if this map actually does it justice, it kind of does.
[SPEAKER_07]: So medicaming, but it sounds like James really wants us to take the boat.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm, I'm, I'm not saying that, but if you guys look, and I'm gonna zoom in for the audience who is watching.
[SPEAKER_02]: So well, yes, like many dispatchers that I have dealt with over the years with various ambulance services on the map.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's only an inch.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you look, there are lots of waterways, there's my cursor, that you have to deal with.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you look down closer to the free city of Los Angeles, how there's lots of little maces and all of that, that's actually more indicative of what it's like up through here, the water channels that you see are the major water channels, not all the little ravines and everything
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, that's that's not a good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now if we're going to night's fairy land all day, but no, we're we're going to take the boat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if I recall correctly, night's fairy is approximately where you guys came out of the Rockies back in the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember.
[SPEAKER_02]: We were on a train
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't care how we go as long as it's not by train right and I do agree bird is probably not my favorite also.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd rather take a train than a bird but you guys could always try and see if you can get your hands on an ornithopter or an airship.
[SPEAKER_07]: That sounds very close to a bird so I'm going to say no.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, does, does a pinning to the smite have one of those handy is willing to give me no and it might take a few weeks for it to arrive via post.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, but, and then does anyone know how to fly it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's just a driving check.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's piloting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, well, then no.
[SPEAKER_05]: he means not yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if we get one, I'll get that skill.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just so I could have my flying restaurant.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, he has it planned for, you know, seven upgrades later.
[SPEAKER_07]: Your advancements.
[SPEAKER_07]: We don't call them upgrades here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't tell everyone my secrets.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean,
[SPEAKER_02]: If you guys get Doc Stanley enough enough stuff, he could actually build you guys one.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, let's go.
[SPEAKER_07]: Daisy doesn't like sitting around talking.
[SPEAKER_07]: What's probably going to be a seam monster in the water?
[SPEAKER_07]: Are there pirates?
[SPEAKER_02]: There may be pirates.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're only up to seven advances, correct?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, okay, for some reason I had a blank eighth advance and I was like really confused as to where that came from, but.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, great maze.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am going to.
[SPEAKER_02]: deal in that tonight.
[SPEAKER_01]: Two.
[SPEAKER_01]: The where is the discard pile?
[SPEAKER_01]: There it is.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh wait.
[SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_01]: And under the discard, it is a spade.
[SPEAKER_01]: OK.
[SPEAKER_07]: Does that mean bad stuff for us?
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll find out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why are you doing this?
[SPEAKER_02]: Find out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because that determines which table I roll on.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, see encounters, spades, all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think she's just wanting you to know, like, why are you like this?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if she doesn't know after 17 years.
[SPEAKER_02]: She slept since then.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoa.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got three kids.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and shuffle the deck.
[SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, well, James is doing all this stuff.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let me tell you what he did to me the other night.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is this appropriate for our channel?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're M-A, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, yes, we are.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I'm sleeping, dead asleep.
[SPEAKER_07]: He grabs the pillow that I am sleeping on, and he yanks it out from underneath me.
[SPEAKER_07]: And like, then curls up next to it, cuddling it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was like, no, you don't, you little.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my.
[SPEAKER_07]: After I take it back, he rolls over and puts his leg on top of me and squeezes my bladder and I'm like, well, thanks.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now I have to get up and get out of bed.
[SPEAKER_07]: So now you have the bed to yourself for the rest of the night.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wish I could remember all this stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he doesn't.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he it cons all the time.
[SPEAKER_02]: I understand.
[SPEAKER_07]: Squeezing your bladder.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're strange cuddles.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just, it's, it's a little bit awkward.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Beeping of cons.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_02]: We need, we'll be.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be at game hole con.
[SPEAKER_07]: I will not be.
[SPEAKER_02]: October 16th through the 19th.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Grin will actually be there the 15th through the 20th just because a whole day of driving.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we will be at the con the 16th through the 19th pedaling arc and forge toolkit as as we do.
[SPEAKER_02]: And hanging out with all the pinnacle folks who are always at game hole, as well as meeting new folks.
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you guys want if if you're listening to this or watching this
[SPEAKER_02]: We are literally as you walk in the door.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're in the center aisle, second booth on the right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't even know.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will not be there, but the dice pouches that you see me making on here will do.
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, come by say hi.
[SPEAKER_02]: I promise James is just as an asshole in person and maybe a little bit worse, but I am actually nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: They learned an important lesson last year about pinnacle folks on an important lesson about getting me involved in pranks.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they don't include us in those anymore.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I'm taking a walk around the pit.
[SPEAKER_06]: Started it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game Hole is where it originally began with the whole clip pulled me aside told me he set the rules down.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody outside the connoisseur be part of this, so I couldn't use social media for it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and he said, I was allowed to use my people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I can fear my people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody who comes to the con, and he told me to ask Jodi about the romance campaign, we got punched for that, by the way, ironically enough, it is now officially on the calendar for him to work on.
[SPEAKER_02]: So now the Richard goes too far, Mike, is because of how you carried on the prank.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just said, are we putting the pegging back in peg?
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, uh, I might have had other ones, but that was, that was a good one.
[SPEAKER_02]: That wasn't.
[SPEAKER_07]: You didn't do an all year behind the scenes, Moja, their James, because like, I know these people who,
[SPEAKER_07]: the three of them who listen to the show next shadow accounts that gets our numbers up.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, that has us at I think it's a 11,000 hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's just making sure you're actually still doing work back that are while we're filling the dead air that you're doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, yeah, I was just saying I'm doing work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, yeah, 11,319 hours of listening to our podcast all done by Nick and Mike according to Cheryl.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have much to do with these days.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you to all of those listeners.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is crazy.
[SPEAKER_06]: It really is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you people okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I want you to all blink twice if you can hear me.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's say it's stock on at this point.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the reason.
[SPEAKER_02]: I keep coming back.
[SPEAKER_02]: So as you are
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, we're facing it that way, James.
[SPEAKER_02]: Riving or voting roll from from your pilot, your boat pilot there.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's known as Charles.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, this me, don't don't.
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't hit the iceberg.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we ain't hitting the iceberg.
[SPEAKER_02]: No iceberg.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is not the WWS, Titanic.
[SPEAKER_03]: Nice roll.
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you know how to drive this thing, Chuck?
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course I do, Daisy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been driving it for weeks now.
[SPEAKER_07]: What do you teach me?
[SPEAKER_02]: When you're a little taller.
[SPEAKER_07]: Give a can at a box I'm tall enough.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but then you're not on solid ground on our solid footing on the boat and you'll go over easier.
[SPEAKER_07]: As check contemplates letting Daisy do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Time not advancing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So as you guys head out.
[SPEAKER_02]: All of the distance Charles, you happen to notice that there are several.
[SPEAKER_02]: triangular fins that start making their way towards you and you you notice them in time and you manage to steer the group clear of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: And yes, lots of sharks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's a shark's shark.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I avoided them because they were coming to try to
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe she should get some water skis and find a ramp out in the ocean so she can jump over them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sharks don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: Could we catch them, sharks chuck?
[SPEAKER_07]: They may be good for the restaurant.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe another time work, kind of on a time crunch for this now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Indeed.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so I'm going to draw for the next two days.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's going to take you three days total with that role to make the trip.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: Good job, Jack.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, since since the Charles has
[SPEAKER_02]: his driven has changed from to be the best chef to something else now.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's not really as focused on the restaurant as he used to be.
[SPEAKER_07]: But Daisy is I know.
[SPEAKER_07]: And Daisy's goal is to make Chuck be as focused.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it?
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, on your second day, as you're following the map that you have, and making your way in between the various Mesa's and Buds and Plato's, you find that the path that you
[SPEAKER_02]: is now filled with rubble that has just fallen down off of the opposing sides, adding another day back onto your travel, as you now have to detour around it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we go back to my random encounter deck.
[SPEAKER_02]: And, all right, but yeah, here Shark makes good stupid, at least the fins do.
[SPEAKER_02]: The, the, I don't, I honestly don't know if they do or not, I've never had Shark.
[SPEAKER_02]: Shark fin soup has been a delicacy overseas for a long time.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: To a point that
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a whole lot of legislation about it because they were just literally catching the shards taking the fence and then dumping them back in the ocean to die.
[SPEAKER_03]: Many, many years ago, hopefully that's God, but I don't trust humans though.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, on the third day of travel, I'd be more concerned if it was Orca's Orca's like sinking ships.
[SPEAKER_02]: I need everybody to give me a notice test.
[SPEAKER_08]: Good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Who had coals on it?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_05]: We've got a total of 11.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Coming in hot with the 11.
[SPEAKER_02]: What is that modifier from?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, he's plays a playlist.
[SPEAKER_02]: Charles, you're a redhead all the time coming in with the fours.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fours are good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fours means passing and all we need now is Daisy.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was working on it, Daisy.
[SPEAKER_02]: coming in with the five and Starla coming in with the four.
[SPEAKER_02]: No fails.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good job everybody.
[SPEAKER_02]: No fails.
[SPEAKER_06]: So as you guys are, but it did weird things again.
[SPEAKER_06]: I probably hit a button wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: What happens?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: As you guys are coming around the corner of yet another of the many
[SPEAKER_02]: maces and platoes and pillars and build that on stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Beautiful.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I never backed into one that had to learn about those.
[SPEAKER_02]: That this, off to the left, one of the, uh, one of the rock stands there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can see that it is definitely,
[SPEAKER_02]: a ghost rock, everyone.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you see a group of three, three guys all hang in by ropes off from off the top of the the mesa.
[SPEAKER_02]: And kind of spread out a bit and they've got their pickaxes and they got buckets that are hanging off of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: And as they're chipping away at the ghost rock in the side.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hold on.
[SPEAKER_07]: There.
[SPEAKER_07]: When you said hang by ropes, you mean there are live and like using the ropes to hold themselves up.
[SPEAKER_02]: They aren't yet harnessed by robes that was my first thought two days it I was gonna say I apologize I should have been more Clear and we need to get you a thasaurus for Christmas I got this horse dot com I even should use it more So as you need these guys suspended
[SPEAKER_02]: off the side of the Butte or the Mesa.
[SPEAKER_02]: They are chipping away at the seams of Ghost Rock and as they get sections out, they drop it into a bucket and one guy, however, one of the three, seems a little bit more well to do because he's got
[SPEAKER_02]: some contraption that he's got a big like net and bass net type of basket hanging down underneath him.
[SPEAKER_02]: No bucket hanging off his belt like the other two.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you guys can hear a rhythmic thumping noise as he's pushing some type of mad science device into the side of the wall there and large chunks of ghost rock is just falling down into this kind of net that he has underneath
[SPEAKER_04]: But God, what's standing is suddenly mesmerized.
[SPEAKER_03]: I got to get the one of those.
[SPEAKER_02]: Docs, Stanley can make a weird science test to see if he recognizes what this is.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we shoot that rope.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can get one really quick.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, point, oh, Starlight didn't actually say that.
[SPEAKER_06]: That was all out of character.
[SPEAKER_03]: Charles absolutely said that.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, so with that Ace, that is a
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is the actual name that you remember seeing in the, uh, the Smith and Robards catalog, that is the ghost rock powered steam driven rock crunching Jack hammer device.
[SPEAKER_02]: Doesn't roll off the tongue very well.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_07]: He's got one or two words.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ghosts are two words.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it hyphenated?
[SPEAKER_02]: It is not hyphenated.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ghosts are just how our team driven Jack Hammer device.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it doesn't even make a good acronym.
[SPEAKER_07]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: I must get me one of those, though, I swear.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes they just have no style in naming such things.
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, we can get you one real easy.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just gotta go dive in for it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Papa said swearing isn't good.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're quite lucky.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's loaded.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Continuing on, because it doesn't sound like you guys are going to do much more than just look at them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope, we're in a hurry.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not like waving us down or anything, are they?
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope.
[SPEAKER_07]: Do they even do this us?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, one of them sees you guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's one of the guys with with a pickaxe, sees you guys waves at you, and then goes back to his work.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just throw up a hand in greeting and Oh, I'm in a wave.
[SPEAKER_02]: You you're cutting out, babe.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: She she broke her own volume meter with her.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, she peaked and it's like that no more.
[SPEAKER_07]: I am shouting to them saying, hi, what should you do in where you go in?
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you need any help?
[SPEAKER_07]: We might be able to help ya.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's kind of what we do.
[SPEAKER_07]: How long are we in the area with them?
[SPEAKER_02]: Is this like a... A few minutes before you guys pass around the side.
[SPEAKER_02]: Daisy's offering to come in and I'm just like driving on by.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, and and get further away, I'm going to yell more.
[SPEAKER_02]: That tracks.
[SPEAKER_07]: But it'll be like, bye, see you later.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was nice to meet you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mayor paths cross again.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, there we go.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've always wanted to learn how to mine shuffle clothes all right yeah that gives me this table oh oh this this one could be good I don't think that yeah okay
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you guys can't see what that is.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, we can't.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's not a healthy sound because you're being a lazy man and using random encounters.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you guys know how he does that like on here.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's like, oh, interesting.
[SPEAKER_07]: He does that in everyday conversation.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're sitting there talking.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's like, well, that's interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: But is he actually interested, or is he just in PC response?
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's usually when I am reading something on my phone or on the computer.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I have quit asking.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have taken it out.
[SPEAKER_07]: If he wants to tell me, he's going to say more than just, hmm, that's interesting.
[SPEAKER_07]: Or, what do you think about that?
[SPEAKER_07]: What do you mean?
[SPEAKER_07]: What are you looking at?
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not even in conversation.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just randomly slamming these things and you're sick of trying to engage with him for the conversation of what's interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fair enough.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like he just did now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, that was an interesting role.
[SPEAKER_02]: What was this interesting role, James?
[SPEAKER_02]: I will take the bait.
[SPEAKER_02]: So...
[SPEAKER_02]: As you guys are rolling along, I do need everybody to give me another notice test.
[SPEAKER_07]: You also says that sometimes, too.
[SPEAKER_07]: Interesting.
[SPEAKER_07]: You got notice check now.
[SPEAKER_06]: If when you DMed for so long.
[SPEAKER_05]: Total four, I think that's good and ethical.
[SPEAKER_02]: My dice tricked me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, Oh, yeah, I'm gonna get a raise.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you do it?
[SPEAKER_02]: You did do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yo, oh, Daisy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Daisy joting it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's too busy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm still trying to go for the miners from the day before.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she's still trying to find them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Still trying to talk them from the day before.
[SPEAKER_02]: I could see that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can't see over the side of the walls.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is why you're not driving the ship.
[SPEAKER_07]: I wanted to stand on a platform, but no, that's not safe.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, she's not going to approve it.
[SPEAKER_05]: What Daisy saying she wants is you to get to get one of those harnesses.
[SPEAKER_05]: Those guys have them side and put it right on your chest so she could drive.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not.
[SPEAKER_07]: I could have been like a baby buggy.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not wearing Daisy.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can.
[SPEAKER_03]: I would you feed that purely on you, bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so as you guys are going along.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's interesting.
[SPEAKER_07]: About on the floor, I found it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys see what appears to be kind of like a bladder and air bladder kind of floating along.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it definitely has something hanging underneath it because as the waves are rolling it, you notice that like one portion of the air bladder that's distinct from the rest of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: is a constantly staying upright, like it's got a weight on the other side of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ah, that's interesting.
[SPEAKER_07]: Chuck, come look at my bug I found.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I'm trying to figure out what this balloon's doing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Bug.
[SPEAKER_03]: Balloon.
[SPEAKER_06]: Balloon floating on the water.
[SPEAKER_04]: does the maze runner have like a gap hook?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Doc Stanley will grab a gap hook and kind of hold that over to the boat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm curious.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is indeed interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to slow down steer over and
[SPEAKER_02]: see what occurs.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm watching in town.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, Dr. Stanley tries to hook it.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, give me an athletics test to hook it because it's you're you are on the ocean.
[SPEAKER_02]: The waves are moving you up and down.
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't know how good of a hooker you are.
[SPEAKER_02]: Apparently he's not.
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe Starlish would give it a try.
[SPEAKER_06]: If that chuckle in anything to go by.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right, isn't she the canned canned answer?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, he did pretty darn good.
[SPEAKER_04]: He did.
[SPEAKER_04]: Doc Stanley is actually impressed with himself, and he was able to not fall in.
[SPEAKER_02]: So as he hooks it down low and kind of gets whatever is hanging below and pulls it up into the boat.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a rope hanging off the bottom side of the air bladder and then what appears to be an oil skin bag that that's about four feet long.
[SPEAKER_02]: a very bulky item is inside of it and as he peels back the the oil skin.
[SPEAKER_02]: Inside is a smoky black gatling rifle.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, well, we're taking that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is there any ammo for it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it loaded?
[SPEAKER_02]: It is not currently loaded and it has kind of this permanent smoke-tornished patina
[SPEAKER_02]: That, I mean, like when he grabs it and pulls it out and sets it down, so everybody can see it.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's hands are kind of stained black now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that is Interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's ours now.
[SPEAKER_05]: That didn't seem right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Where did come from?
[SPEAKER_02]: We found it in the water.
[SPEAKER_06]: You were a water obviously, sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: You found it when you found your bug.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.
[SPEAKER_07]: I said it was a bug.
[SPEAKER_07]: You missed it.
[SPEAKER_07]: You said balloon.
[SPEAKER_07]: I said it was a bug.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mr. Cassidy, would you happen to know anything about mechanisms like this?
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not quite the sort of thing that I study.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, I'll take a look at it, but since I saw, you know, like, hands turning black, I'm going to be careful not to touch it with my hands.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, give me a, uh, And just do our direct.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of notice or trade.
[SPEAKER_02]: Notice or trade.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I guess it's going to be noticed because that's the one I have.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've trade shaft.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that, is that going to help?
[SPEAKER_05]: I think we'll spend a bitty on that three.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, there's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a well spent bitty.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is indeed a well spent bitty.
[SPEAKER_02]: So using your own gatling rifle as a comparison, this thing is, it is an absolute, like, work of art, when it comes to the crafting of fire arms.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and looking it over and everything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, it's been in an oil, an oil skin under water.
[SPEAKER_02]: And while the oil skin would have protected it some, there is absolutely no sign of where some water would have gotten in where you would have corrosion from the salt water.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, so somebody knew they were doing a preserved race.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it is an absolute beautiful weapon.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I guess I will spend the downtime trying to clean the oil off of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, cleaning the oil off itself is actually pretty easy.
[SPEAKER_02]: And was it the, yeah, gatling, very full.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, wanted to make sure that it was indeed a gatling rifle and not a gatling pistol because the image that is with it, it kind of looks like a gatling pistol.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it is indeed a gatling rifle.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, Then once I get it all cleaned up, is there any like makers marker or anything on it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, let me look it back over.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't want it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have my things.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I could give it a good home.
[SPEAKER_07]: Can I put it back in the way you're back in the water?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was left here for us.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're, it is ours now.
[SPEAKER_07]: It sounds a little.
[SPEAKER_07]: How do you know?
[SPEAKER_07]: But maybe someone accidentally dropped it and we need to give it back to them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, then there might be a reward for it.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So who who is going to use this?
[SPEAKER_07]: Not I. Chuck says that you're useless without ammo.
[SPEAKER_02]: but Chuck will graciously hold on to it if Cole doesn't want to.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if Cole wants to, then Chuck will graciously take Cole's galley rifle.
[SPEAKER_04]: Does Cole not have ammo that he could use?
[SPEAKER_04]: In this if he has a galley rifle already?
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got a drum.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: He just has to refill the drum whenever.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_05]: Whenever we get some time, we actually get the spin, some time in town, and not just running and running and running out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I hold on to the D1 and have check hold on to my mind for now.
[SPEAKER_02]: He let me double check which size of ammo to work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Chuck is okay with that.
[SPEAKER_07]: That is Charles.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is Charles, but everybody else is Chuck so much.
[SPEAKER_02]: because y'all are rude and don't respect my name.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is going to say authority.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have no authority here.
[SPEAKER_05]: How often do we use government names though?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oops.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, oh.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it would use
[SPEAKER_02]: The actual bullets are, why can I never find stuff when I want it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it doesn't say in the, entry for the, revolvers, revolvers, derangers, there it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright, mediums.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll have got her some rifle medium.
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright, so what I will do then is if Charles is going to take
[SPEAKER_02]: make sure it went over.
[SPEAKER_02]: It did.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will remove it from coal.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I will drag this well made smoky patina gatling rifle into
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so, and that was kind of a odd thing to encounter as you head into that.
[SPEAKER_07]: How far are we from where we're supposed to be going?
[SPEAKER_02]: You'll be there about midday the next day.
[SPEAKER_02]: April 3rd, as you come into a fairly large and open bay, excellent.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Daisy, you just got to keep an eye off for pirates.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see an entire sharks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, sharks are not pirates, sharks are just animals.
[SPEAKER_07]: But you didn't even want to engage with the sharks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the last time that happened, a giant raven came out and took you away.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm trying to stay focused on what we're doing here.
[SPEAKER_07]: You get abducted by a wild raven once and you just start a lot to have any more fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you Starlick can show you some of her dance moves.
[SPEAKER_07]: Darla, can I learn to do the can can?
[SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'll even show you how you can use it and come back.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, I have other things for that, Starla.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_06]: But it's still knives.
[SPEAKER_07]: See no, my gift for knives.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll go back to Chuck, Chuck.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I want me to change my fighting.
[SPEAKER_07]: She wants to change my fighting.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's just going to teach you what that's.
[SPEAKER_02]: That no was a complete sentence.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: I didn't want to.
[SPEAKER_02]: That perfectly fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe Stanley could teach us some science.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't like him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fair enough.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a little bit weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: uh oh look there's the place where we'll go in yep he seems a little bit like a chicken he runs away very true when evil obviously had ducks and they turns and turned and fled young lady you do not get to my age as a researcher by standing in front of the guns
[SPEAKER_02]: But there weren't any guns.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just a skeleton thing, conglomeration.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it wasn't even that scary.
[SPEAKER_03]: That wasn't scary at all.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I do stand behind the guns.
[SPEAKER_07]: I use them.
[SPEAKER_04]: I stand behind those who use them.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, we're going on about your dad again.
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you know all my family died?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, Daisy, you've mentioned the story.
[SPEAKER_05]: Probably.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_05]: Every week since we've been together.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, equally, you're lucky.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just, I just miss on, and I need to keep their memories in my brain.
[SPEAKER_07]: because sometimes things don't stay in my brain.
[SPEAKER_07]: So if I don't talk about them, I'll forget them and I don't want to forget them.
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you want me to forget them?
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what we should do.
[SPEAKER_02]: We should get you some supplies when we have time.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you could drop pictures of them this way.
[SPEAKER_02]: You will always be able to have those
[SPEAKER_02]: I just think it more like some pencils or pens and paper, but I don't need those.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can just talk to you about them.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, Chuck, do we really need to waste money on those things?
[SPEAKER_02]: I was hoping it would help with a little bit of quiet, but that's okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, there's the bay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So as you come into this nice deep water bay, that lies here on the coast of the Pacific, the first thing you notice is this town only looks slightly better than the north end of Los Angeles after the Hellbombs dropped.
[SPEAKER_02]: um, which three of you were there to see.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, this doesn't look very good.
[SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't make a shit hole.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, the bay that you're coming in, there's a huge cliff that goes up
[SPEAKER_02]: looks like the elevator system is not currently an operation because the building at the top is no longer standing.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just kind of like a burnt-out shell of a building.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's really the only building you can see from down low.
[SPEAKER_02]: Other than there is a few like warehouses down here
[SPEAKER_02]: But even they look like they have seen the rough side of a battle.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you see any, look out, any people and these signs of, you know, habitation?
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be a notice test.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would like to make that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I asked what I.
[SPEAKER_04]: Doc Stanley's not paying attention during all of this.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's got his invention fit out in the back of the boat, but he's been eyeing the gatling gun.
[SPEAKER_04]: Are you trying to figure out a way to set up a counterweight to make it easier for Chuck and Colt to use them?
[SPEAKER_02]: To carry the actual gatling gun?
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm looking for people because maybe there's some kids that want to play with me.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's delightful.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see, Cole got a raise.
[SPEAKER_02]: Charles got a five.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, Cole got a ring.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that's, oh, that was the old role.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the old role.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, Starly's, Starly's got a raise, Daisy's.
[SPEAKER_02]: Daisy has it too, but she just, and I'm Benny.
[SPEAKER_07]: I want to find kids.
[SPEAKER_02]: She really wants to find kids.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's been a lack of children for Daisy to play with lately.
[SPEAKER_02]: the shan fan kids are terrified over.
[SPEAKER_07]: They were my best friends.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, friends.
[SPEAKER_02]: What the ran away when you showed him your gun?
[SPEAKER_07]: But they didn't scream really loud.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they were probably playing hide and seek and you just didn't go find them.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Dave comes in with an eight.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Daisy got a raise.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is Cole making a roll on this?
[SPEAKER_05]: No, Cole's a bit distracted at the moment.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cole's playing with his new piece.
[SPEAKER_02]: Stroking it, stroking it lovingly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, all over his hands.
[SPEAKER_02]: And no matter how much you scrub your hands, it doesn't come back off.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my.
[SPEAKER_02]: So as you guys are looking around, you immediately notice that there is a distinct lack of people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Charles, you kind of feel like you're being watched though.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's almost like you're looking up at at the cliff side, and while you you're sure that there's nobody there, you can't get over the fact that you feel like something is looking back at you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just feel like somebody's watching.
[SPEAKER_02]: Starla, as you're looking for people, you do notice that.
[SPEAKER_02]: at the south end of the docks.
[SPEAKER_02]: There is what appears to be a cut made into the cliff wall.
[SPEAKER_02]: The wall, it's not stairs that would be easy, easy climbing.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's at least a way to climb up the cliff wall to get up to the town.
[SPEAKER_02]: You definitely have that.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're being watched feeling
[SPEAKER_02]: You did not find any kids.
[SPEAKER_02]: You kind of have that feeling of being watched and that niggling feeling that you have inside your head.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, we shouldn't go there, Daisy.
[SPEAKER_01]: This place is bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: And with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have questions.
[SPEAKER_02]: Those sound like great questions for two weeks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Four weeks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because we will not be dropping in the episode.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because we'll be in GameholdCon.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be a GameholdCon in two weeks.
